EAGLE - Eight of the 5th Judicial District's 12 prosecutors are leaving before incoming District Attorney Bruce Brown takes office on Tuesday, but Brown said he had no trouble replacing them.
The eight departing attorneys' last day is Monday, if they haven't left already. Their replacements start Tuesday when Brown is sworn in.
"They start Jan. 8, the day I raise my right hand," Brown said.
District Attorney Mark Hurlbert and assistant DA Scott Turner are on their way out, as are six of the 10 staff attorneys. Three in Summit County will remain, and one in Lake County. All four in the Eagle office are gone.
Brown, a Democrat, won the November election over Turner, a Republican. The 5th Judicial District covers Eagle, Summit, Lake and Clear Creek counties.
Hurlbert has been through a couple regime changes in the district attorney's office and says this is unprecedented.
He was a prosecutor when Pete Michaelson was the district attorney. When Michaelson left and Mike Goodbee replaced him, a couple attorneys left the office. When Hurlbert was appointed to replace Goodbee, a couple more attorneys went on their way.
"Pete lost a couple and Mike lost a couple, but not 60 percent of your attorney staff," Hurlbert said. "These are people with some experience."
Brown said his lineup may be the most experienced staff the district attorney's office has ever had. He said Edwards attorney Joe Kerwin has 30 years of experience.
"Some transitions can be difficult, but they can be easier when people who are not interested in being part of a new direction move on," Brown said. "I'm confident that the young attorneys will be stars," Brown said.
Brown said he expected some staff turnover. He's hiring more attorneys than he'd anticipated, but it's a buyer's market.
"We're in a good position to hire good people and we have," Brown said.
Hurlbert's last day as the local district attorney is Monday. He starts Tuesday as the assistant DA in the 18th Judicial District: Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. The district includes a large section of Aurora, including the site of last summer's theater shooting. The preliminary hearing for that case is next week, Hurlbert said.
George Brauchler, the 18th district's incoming district attorney, is starting a cold case unit and Hurlbert will run it.

The Finger Lakes region is one of five regions (called Hot Spots) statewide that will receive up to $250,000 annually in state funds to help young firms with legal, technical and business support services, Empire State Development announced Thursday.
Western New York, Finger Lakes, Southern Tier, Central New York and North Country regions were each designated in this first round of the Innovation Hot Spots program.
The program is a new facet of the Regional Economic Development Council initiative in 2013. The Innovation Hot Spots Competition is designed to make New York State a leader in growing new technology-based companies, according to a release. The Hot Spots are expected to foster innovation by offering start-up business support services. Those include turning academic research into saleable products and services, along with improving collaboration between business and academia.
The Finger Lakes Innovation Hot Spot is a strategic partnership between High Tech Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester. The goal is to leverage each of their respective strengths to improve all the services and entrepreneurial activities in the Finger Lakes region. The goal is to double the number of start-ups graduating within three years.
In the Southern Tier, the Hot Spot creates a public-private partnership between Cornell University, SUNY Binghamton and Corning Inc. with similar goals.

If there is a particular shower faucet feature you are interested in, such as "Pressure Balanced" or "ADA Compliant," you can narrow your results by these here.
Most showers include a single handle that controls both on/off and temperature. Others include two or more handles to operate the shower, especially when shower systems with diverters or volume controls are considered.
Shower faucet pricing varies widely. If you have budgeted a particular amount for your shower faucet, the price groupings below will help you stay within that budget.
Use the narrow-bys below to filter your results by the criteria most important to you.

Montevideo senior Derek Bruns will compete in the state Class AA golf tournament after shooting a 79 in section play at Eagle Creek in Willmar last Thursday.
Bruns played steady golf all day in windy conditions, making just one double-bogey while carding nine-hole scores of 39 and 40.
After not playing his best golf early in the season, Bruns has come on strong.
"It was disappointing because I knew what I could shoot," he said. "I drove the ball really well today and if it was a shorter hole, I could club down and hit a 3-wood."
Bruns will play in the state tourney June 11-12 at the Ridges at Sand Creek course in Jordan.
Thunder Hawks senior Rose Reinert shot a very respectable 103 on nine-hole rounds of 53 and 50. Her first nine (Eagle Creek's back nine) included a birdie on the 18th hole.
Reinert said her iron play was the best part of her game.
Section team champions were the Minnewaska girls and Marshall boys.

Hi, I am Danny Batson (Knouse) and I am a lifelong resident of the Chillicothe area. I was born in 1951 and graduated from CHS in 1969. I took over my dad's septic tank business that he founded in 1937. While I have been in every state (except Hawaii and Maine), there is no place like home! I love taking pictures of old and unusual things and sharing them. There is beauty in everything, if we look for it. I have three Facebook pages filled with local pictures that may be of interest: "Where Has Danny Been," Chillicothe Now," and "Danny Batson".
Hi, I am Gary Thomas and I was born just across from Central School in 1942. I graduated from CHS in 1960 and MU in 1964. After two years in Army, I completed a graduate degree at the University of Chicago in 1970. After working in software development for more than 40 years, I retired from Raytheon in 2007. I have an abiding interest in history and in researching past events, places, and people. My latest project is developing a history-based chronology for Livingston County from 1801-2000.
The parlor games we played as children were fun, but not as much fun as those we would make up. This story occurred when my Aunt Linda was with me. She was only three years older than me and we grew up together at the round barn south of Utica. We were like brother and sister. I think I may have gotten my onery nature from being around her!
The Greenhills grocery near our house on S. Washington Street had a gumball machine that took a single penny! Alongside was a nickle machine that dispensed small plastic containers that had toys inside. These toys varied from plastic spiders to diamond rings, and even lick'em stick'em tattoos. I have said before, our little toys did not last very long. But those little plastic containers were more fun than the toys themselves. My aunt and I had found a good use for them.
We would lay on the bank of the viaduct facing the highway and we would each throw one half of the little plastic container out into the traffic. The purpose was to see who could get theirs the closest to the tires on the cars zipping by. It was lots of fun, we laid there and laughed for hours throwing those containers out and watching the cars crush them. It was our newly-invented game!
My dog Tippy spotted us on the hill and came running to us. I had taught Tippy to fetch and I was not thinking when I threw the next container out right in front of him. He took off like lightning and I stood up and yelled "No! No! Tippy come back here!"
I knew he would get hit. There weren't a lot of cars back then but it only took one coming from the north. I watched as its front tire hit him and heard a thump and a crunch. I became numb and my eyes filled with tears as my heart came up in my throat. After the next two cars passed, I went out to get him--- crying.
My aunt went to get my parents and as I brought him back to the curb his eyes were open. He was still alive at that point, but I knew enough about animals at that age, he was dying.
He died in my arms as I stumbled down the hill. l could not see well because my tears made everything blurry. Tippy was just a pup, but he was my best friend. Sometimes life's lessons are hard and can hurt.
My parents said we should not have been doing that, and of course they were right. As I dug his grave the ground was blurred from my tears. That day I learned to think ahead of time about consequences of my actions.
I had many dogs named Tippy since, but I stopped using that name when we moved from there. I have a dog named Babe III today. Each Babe through the years had their own personality, even though they all looked the same. I love my dogs.

I don't want to live in a country where only the wealthy can afford a college education.
A free education for every person has been an important part of our country's history. It's important that we not only keep educating, but also that we grow the opportunity.
It used to be that a grade school was offered to all Americans. Then high school was offered at no cost to all citizens. We later expanded by offering vocational training in high schools. Today many job openings require a college education. In our region only 24% of the population has a college degree. That eliminates 75% of folks looking for a job. That is discouraging.
An inexpensive 4-year college education is approximately $20,000. Many colleges and universities are much, much higher. Depending on the cost, it actually may not cost effective to get a college degree. Students are leaving with so much debt that congress is trying to pass laws to help with that debt load. Other students are in default on paying their student loans because they've been unable to get a job that pays for living expenses with enough left over to pay off debt.
I know we're in difficult economic times. It's times like these that encourage people to get more education, to learn new skills, or start a new trade. And it's time to start thinking about making college more affordable for everyone in this country.
The Missouri A+ program is an incredible idea that makes me proud to live in this state. A+ allows students that have good attendance, average grades and some community service to attend two years of community college free. It's a wonderful start. Let's keep moving in that direction.

Williams leaves local Red Cross chapter
Henderson County operation now run out of Greenville, S.C.
Published: Monday, June 17, 2013 at 5:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 17, 2013 at 5:54 p.m.
After nine years leading the Henderson County chapter of the American Red Cross, Mike Williams is no longer its executive director.
With tightening budgets and a movement toward a more nationalized organization, Williams resigned from his post sooner than he wanted to.
"I had planned to retire from the Red Cross down the road," Williams said Monday afternoon.
Instead, he came back from vacation last week and on Wednesday was packing up his office. The national organization is moving from localized chapters to broader regions, Williams said, and the Henderson County operation is now run out of Greenville, S.C. Phone calls to the Henderson County chapter are now answered in Asheville.
Leadership from Greenville will be in Henderson County at 4 p.m. Wednesday to discuss the changes and "make sure they have what they need," said Ann Wright, regional CEO for the Western Carolinas Region.
Wright oversees both North and South Carolina, which includes 27 counties. Red Cross currently has 44 employees in those two states on staff, she said. The only other executive director in her region, she added, is Amanda Edwards in Asheville.
Whether or not a county has an executive director, Wright said, depends on a lot of variables, but the primary one is activity.
A lot of the decision is based on "efficiency" as well, Wright said. Red Cross uses 91 cents of every dollar for its cause, she added, and they try to keep overhead down.
Henderson County has been tremendously active, Williams said of his team of volunteers. When Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast, Henderson County sent the largest contingent of volunteers from Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina, Williams said.
"We've developed some great people," he said. "I'm very proud of what we've done."
"It is a tremendous loss," Rocky Hyder, Henderson County Emergency Services director said about losing Williams. "He will be missed in that position."
Hyder said Williams has been "instrumental" in making improvements to disaster response in the county.
So what's next for Williams? He's picking away his fiddle for his band Appalachian Fire, but beyond that he's just waiting for the right place to land.
"Right now, I am looking for the right place for me," he said. "I look forward to what my next chapter will be."

Tigers sweep 10th- ranked UNA in softball
Published: Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 11:33 p.m.
LIVINGSTON | The University of West Alabama softball team won both games in dramatic fashion as the Tigers swept No. 10 North Alabama, 7-6 and 2-1, in a Gulf South Conference doubleheader Saturday.

Windows 7 Home Premium makes it easy to create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos, and music. And you can watch shows for free when and where you want with Internet TV on Windows Media Center. Get the best entertainment experience with Windows 7 Home Premium.

10 reasons to buy Windows 7
A better desktop.
Windows 7 gets you around your PC faster than ever. The taskbar has bigger buttons and full-sized previews--and you can pin programs to it for one-click access. Jump Lists provide shortcuts to files, folders, and websites. And Snap, Peek, and Shake give you easy (and fun) new ways to juggle all those open windows.
Smarter search.
Type in the Start menu search box, and you'll see results instantly, grouped by category--documents, pictures, music, e-mail, and programs. Search in a folder or library, and you can fine-tune your search with filters like date or file type--and use the preview pane to peek at the contents of your results.
Easy sharing with HomeGroup.
Sharing files and printers on your home network should be simple. With HomeGroup, it finally is. Connect two or more PCs running Windows 7, and with a minimum of fuss you can start sharing music, pictures, videos, and documents with other people in your home.
Built for speed.
Windows 7 has key performance improvements to take up less memory and run background services only when you need them. It's designed to run your programs faster and to sleep, resume, and reconnect to wireless networks quicker. And with 64-bit support, you can take full advantage of the latest in powerful 64-bit PCs.
Better wireless networking.
Connecting to wireless networks on your laptop--formerly a bit of a hassle--now takes just a couple of clicks. Choose from the list of available networks in the taskbar, click one, and then connect. Once you've connected to a network, Windows will remember it so you can connect again later automatically.
Windows Touch.
Use your fingers to browse the web, flip through photos, and open files and folders on a touchscreen PC--for the first time, Windows includes true multitouch technology. With gestures for zooming, rotating, and even right-clicking, it's a whole new way to work with your PC.
Plays well with devices.
Device Stage, a new feature in Windows 7, works like a home page for things like portable music players, smartphones, and printers. When you plug a compatible device into your PC, you'll see a menu with information and popular tasks like battery life, how many photos are ready to be downloaded, and printing options.
Media streaming.
With new features in Windows Media Player 12, you can enjoy your media library around the house--or around town. Play To lets you stream music, videos, and photos from your PC to your stereo or TV (you may need additional hardware). And with Remote Media Streaming, you can even stream media over the Internet from one computer running Windows 7 to another that's miles away.
Internet Explorer 9 and Windows Live.
Windows 7 unleashes the full power of Internet Explorer 9, from its stunning hardware-accelerated graphics to the ability to launch favorite websites right from your taskbar. You'll also get the many possibilities of Windows Live, free: create photo albums and movies, chat in HD, and share your stuff anytime, anywhere.
Nag-free notifications.
Action Center, new in Windows 7, puts you in control of maintenance and security messages. You can turn notifications on or off for things like Windows Defender or User Account Control. If Windows needs your attention, you'll see a notification on the far right of the taskbar. Click it, and you'll get suggested fixes for any problems.

Upgrading a Vista PC
Reviewed by Peter. Review Posted 22/04/2012
Installed easily onto a new drive and left my Vista drives untouched. Just ignore the terms and conditions where it says you must use the OEM Preinstallation Kit. On an SSD it goes like greased lightning. What isn't mentioned in the very vague "what is OEM software" page is that it is for one install only. If you replace your PC then you can't transfer the license and you will need to buy it again. Compare that to Apple who will sell you a five license OS X pack for much less than OEM Windows 7.

Basically it looks good, it works brilliantly, its a lot faster and it's compatible with virtually every program and driver you can throw at it, even the really ancient ones.
Windows 7 is the best incarnation of windows to date. It's user friendly, quick and responsive,. . Also, it's prettier, but it can easily be made to look like Vista or XP for convenience. I love it.

Challenged with designing an ecological business card for an environmental consultant, Lisbon-based (and seemingly now defunct) studio Fischer Portugal decided not to print any cards at all. Instead they produced a stamp which could be applied to any leftover card, paper or other reusable material. It's a very clever approach, memorable and 100% fulfils the brief.

"Joy shot througout my body after Karissa Longlois made that winning shot." said Macksville senior Kristina Murphy when Langlois shot a long 3-pointer several feet beyond the key with 1:20 left on the clock, giving the Macksville Mustangs a 36-33 win over the Cunningham Wildcats in the second round of Pratt-Skyline's 54 Classic Basketball Tournament Friday.
It was touch and go for those last few seconds. Now, the Lady Wildcats did have their chances. Several of them in fact. But the Lady Stangs prevailed, thus moved on to Saturday's fifth place game facing league rival, the Kinsley Coyotes who had earlier defeated Attica.
Even though Cunningham out-scored the Lady Stangs in the middle quarters, what happened in the first and four quarters settled the score, with Macksville getting their third win of the season and second playing Cunningham.
Four Macksville players made the scoring column in the first quarter with Langlois getting four points, three of them coming from her first 3-pointer. Tara Bunker, Mindy Wood and Selena Galan each made a basket.
Macksville's defense held the Wildcats to just five points and the Lady Stangs took a 10-5 lead going into the second quarter. The Stangs could have widened their lead, but going 1-4 from the foul line didn't help much.
The Lady Stangs just couldn't buy a basket in the second quarter, missing several underneath. But the Wildcats faired a little better, out-scoring the Mustangs 10-12, the score going into the half with Macksville leading 20-17.
Tara Bunker led the scoring with three free throws and one basket followed by Macksville seniors Wood and Langlois each making a 2-pointer. Clara Cross made a free throw.
"We came out hard in the first half and played as a team," said Bunker.
Having nine points spread among Wood, Kiley Freeman, Bunker and Murphy "might" have been just enough for the Lady Stangs to keep the lead going into the half, but that was not the case as the Wildcats stormed back, tied the score and went ahead 23-25. That's when Macksville's head coach Nathanial Norman called his second time-out.
The Lady Stangs regained the lead. But in the final minutes, Cunningham's press forced two Macksville turnovers and scored after each one which gave the Wildcats the lead once more, the score going into the final quarter with the Wildcats ahead 29-30.
Neither team had much success adding points to the scoreboard in the fourth quarter, that is, until Langlois got what would be the eventual winning basket. Two time-outs later, Macksville held on for a 36-33 win.

I'm Ashley (McMillan) Weightman. I grew up in the small town of Wimbledon, North Dakota. In 2005 I moved to Bismarck to go to school where I graduated from the University of Mary with a Bachelors Degree in Communications and Business. I began working at the CBS affiliate as a reporter while in college and spent three years there. From CBS, I moved to Devils Lake to work at WDAZ-TV for a year, before continuing to work at WDAZ in Grand Forks. I married the love of my life Travis on June 23, 2012 and we now live in Bismarck with our three year old son, Corbin. Travis works at KXMB-TV and I at KLJ Engineering and attend Rasmussen College where I'm pursing a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and Organizational Leadership.
Weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I do well for a while and then fall off the wagon. Four years ago I lost nearly 50lbs and was doing great. Two months after maintaining my weight, I found out that I was pregnant and gained 70lbs in nine months. I figured after I had Corbin, some of the pounds would fall off. Corbin weight 8lbs 12oz and I only lost 3lbs. Ever since December of 2009, I've been doing fad diets for about a month, trying the gym on and off, and eat healthy and nothing seems to be working. I've recently had some health issues and my doctor told me that in order to have more children and be a part of my children's life, I need to lose weight, but most importantly, I need to do it for me.
I used to love to bake. I was in 4-H and won Food Exhibtor three times! I baked Angel Food Cakes, Carmmel Rolls, bread, and jelly rolls. I was also 70lbs lighter.
I had to bake some goodies the other day for our Christmas with the in-laws (soundsl ike a bad movie). I made Sopilla Cream Cheese and a Sugar Cookie Cake. I made them at the last minute hoping that would keep me from eating each and every bite. My husband even told me that no one wanted to eat half eaten desserts.
The house smelled awesome! Just as it should during Christmas baking. As it came out of the oven it was tempted to just sit down with a fork and eat, but I didn't. I did test small corner of each dessert just to make sure it tasted alright, which even my mother-in-law told me they were both very good!
Hate to say it, but I'm a little proud of myself. It's good to know that I have developed some sort of self control! Now, bring on the rest of the Christmas with the in-laws!

This special small-sized Amber Necklace and Bracelet with an Amber clasp, is meant for young children to wear. Amber is a special stone known for having "protective" qualities. Shades of the amber vary but most pieces are consistent throughout each necklace strand. We have a few that are variegated and very pretty. The amber shades vary, right now we have a lighter or darker golden amber - but they are pretty similar - in a medium golden shade. Please make a note in the comment section (same page as the shipping options) if you have a preference for lighter or darker, and we'll do our best. Each necklace is about 12" long.
The amber beads on the necklace are knotted inbetween each bead. The clasp is a beautiful amber which twists together. The bracelet is amber beads on an elastic strand. There is no clasp and the beads are not individually knotted on the bracelet.
You may order the Necklace and Bracelet, or either the Necklace or the Bracelet alone. Northern Europe.

There were two goals early in the season for the Carthage baseball team: win the Springdale (Ark.) tournament, then win the Bill O'Dell Tournament in Carthage.
The Tigers won the Springdale tournament easily to open the season, and on Saturday they accomplished their second goal, beating Nevada 12-1 in five innings to capture the Bill O'Dell championship at Carl Lewton Stadium.
Carthage scored two runs in the first, four more in the second inning, three in the third and three in the fourth. The Tigers stole eight bases and often advanced on the base paths because of wild pitches and passed balls.
"When we got guys on we did a great job getting them in," head coach Mike Godfrey said. "We had some good at bats to be able to do that and keep innings going, scoring two-out runs a few times. It was nice to come out and take control of the game and play pretty well in every phase."
Junior Johnny Mills hit a groundball triple that rolled to the centerfield wall in the first inning, scoring junior Gabe Franklin, who reached on a walk. Senior Jordan Musser also walked in the inning, and when pinch runner Mason Goade, a sophomore, stole second base, Mills scored from third to make it 2-0.
Senior Seth Beckner walked and stole two bases in the second. After senior Keaton Giett walked, Franklin tripled to the left field wall to make it 4-0, and a sacrifice fly by senior Drew Bridges made it 5-0. A single down the left field line by senior Dalton Stafford scored another run.
In the third, Giett walked, Bridges reached on an error, Mills walked and Stafford hit another bloop single down the line as the Tigers increased their lead to 9-0.
Beckner walked in the fourth, and Franklin singled over the shortstop, Bridges hit a standup triple and Mills singled.
Musser, who pitched all five innings, struck out four hitters, allowed four hits and walked just one. Nevada scored its only run in the third after benefiting from a walk, a wild pitch and a single.
"He kept the ball down," Godfrey said. "His fastball was live and he changed speeds when he needed to. He really challenged them."
"Coming in to today, we've been winning games by playing maybe two out of three phases of the games well," Godfrey said. "Before the game I told them let's put it all together, and I felt like we did that today."
Carthage, now 9-0 on the season, will open Central Ozark Conference play on Tuesday with a 4:30 p.m. game at Nixa. The Tigers will host Neosho at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
"We had a goal of winning Springdale and we had a definite goal of winning this one," Godfrey said. "It tastes good."

Henderson County deputies are investigating a rash of vandalisms that had Lake Summit property owners on guard this weekend.
At least seven vehicles were vandalized over the weekend along Lake Summit Road, said Major Frank Stout of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office, and more incidents are still being reported. Some residents have reported that their vehicles were broken into.
"It is actually pretty crime-free usually," said Reid Tate, an IT supervisor in Atlanta, whose mother-in-law lives on Lake Summit Road.
Aside from the occasional lead-foot driver or trespasser seeking a fishing hole on Lake Summit, Tate said they rarely have an issue along the road. But at 4 a.m. Saturday, Tate said they "had the windows smashed out of our car, along with 15-plus others."
Some cars were also pelted with eggs, Tate said.
Employees at the Saluda Post Office returned to work Monday to find the property marred with tire tracks. The investigation is continuing.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crimestoppers at 828-697-7867. Callers can remain anonymous.
Reach Weaver at email@example.com or 828-694-7867.

How To Buy A Baseball Bat
Whether you play Little League baseball or for a college team, buying a bat is a personal decision. New technology
has delivered bats that not only enhance performance but also are tailored to an individual player's strengths. It is
essential that you select a bat that fits your unique body configuration and skill level, height, weight, and hitting
Understanding Bat Materials
The world of bats now offers a large variety of choices in materials. These can be broken into three primary
categories: aluminum, graphite/titanium
lined, and wood. Each provides its own unique characteristics and advantages for today's
Graphite/Titanium lined

Determine What Bat Fits Your Body
There are some standard rules of thumb in selecting the appropriate bat length. The charts below offer some
guidelines based on age and weight and height.

Determining the Right Bat Weight
Understanding Bat Technology
Bat technology may seem a little confusing but it's not rocket-science. There are three essential elements to a
bat: barrel size, bat taper and grip.
Barrel size
Bat Performance Factor (BPF) and League Regulations
An effort by some of governing bodies in Baseball and Softball (NCAA, NHSF, USSSA, NSA) to regulate
the performance of a bat has lead to the establishment of a method of measuring how a ball jumps off of
a bat compared to how a ball rebounds off of a wall at a controlled speed.
The NCAA has implemented a new testing method to ensure all aluminum and composite bats perform like
their wood counterparts; it is called the Bat-Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) and includes the
ABI (Accelerated Break-In) test, which simulates performance after heavy use. Non-wood bats must comply
with this standard and display an official NCAA certification mark on the barrel in order to be legal for
regular- and post-season play. This standard is currently in effect and BESR is no longer used.
Other criteria:
The NFHS is also adopting the BBCOR standard, starting January 1, 2012. It is allowing
BESR-certified bats for the 2011 season, but composite-barreled bats are banned unless they pass both
BESR and ABI tests.
Ball Exit Speed Requirement (BESR) - required only for the 2011 season
For a comprehensive list of NCAA BBCOR-approved, NFHS BESR-approved and NFHS-unapproved bats,
click here.
Little League
Non-wood bats used in divisions of play Little League (Majors) and below must be printed with a BPF
(bat performance factor) rating of 1.15 or less.
Only certain composite-barreled bats are approved for Little League use. Approval requires
the bats to meet the Ball Exit Speed Ratio (BESR) and the Accelerated Break-In (ABI) test. Bats
listed here are permitted
in Little League games.
The ASA's performance standard is referred to as a "high speed test." This method determines the
outgoing speed of a ball after an impact at 110 miles per hour and calls for an outgoing ball speed of
no greater than 98 mph. All bats need to pass this test in order to be used in ASA competition.
15 Years and Older: All bats that are legal under NHFS rules are legal for USSSA-sanctioned games.
14 Years and Under: The 1.15 BPF standard will be continued unmodified through 2011,
with changes coming into effect in 2012. As of January 1, 2012, the only Big Barrel bats that will be
allowed in USSSA play must bear the updated 1.15 BPF mark. The same mark applies to Small Barrel bats. These
updated marks will allow easy identification of legal bats without requiring close scrutiny by USSSA
For softball, bats must bear a permanent marking indicating that it does not
exceed a 1.20 BPF rating.
Bats must also carry a permanent 1.20 BPF marking. For a complete list of NSA league-compliant bats,

Urban Forests – Why We Care
Urban forests help purify the air we breathe.
Urban trees in the lower U.S. have been found to remove nearly 800,000 tons of air pollution from the atmosphere every year.[1] In the modern day of bustling factories and countless cars on the road, this service of air purification has become more necessary than ever. As mentioned in a U.S. Forest Service report,"Urban forests freshen the air we breathe by releasing oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. Net annual oxygen production differs depending on tree species, size, health and location. A healthy tree, for example, a 32-foot-tall ash, produces about 260 pounds of net oxygen annually. A typical person consumes 386 pounds of oxygen per year. Therefore, two medium-sized, healthy trees can supply the oxygen required for a single person over the course of a year. In colder climates, oxygen release will be less than in areas with longer growing seasons."[2]
Urban forests help manage a city's water.
A single front-yard tree can intercept 760 gallons of rainwater in its crown, reducing runoff and flooding on your property.[3]
Because a city has so many impermeable surfaces, rainwater often builds up rather than being absorbed into the ground. This means that even a small rainstorm can cause flooding, as most of the water overflows into the stormwater system rather than into the ground. As the rainwater flows over the pavement, it becomes contaminated with pollutants and may eventually end up in our urban streams and waterways — and even our faucets.
Urban forests help a city's water in several ways:
- They intercept rainfall, allowing the water to be absorbed into the tree, roots and soil. This often results in cities not having to build as many artificial stormwater controls, saving the city and its citizens money.
- They purify the water on its way into the ground by removing the pollutants collected.
- The water retained by the urban forest also helps to sustain the growth of the urban trees, parks and vegetation.
These services, provided naturally instead of artificially, can save a city billions of dollars each year.
Urban forests help reduce energy demand.
When planted in the right place, urban forests provide shade to homes, businesses, roads and parking lots. Just three large trees around your home — two on the west side and one on the east — can provide enough shade to reduce your air-conditioning costs by 30 percent in the summer. And, when placed properly to reduce wind exposure, they can reduce heating bills in the winter by two to eight percent.[4]
Urban forests help improve the urban experience for its residents.
The strategic planting of urban trees reduce the noise of the city considerably. Tall, dense trees with soft ground surfaces can reduce noise by 50 percent or more.[5] And, it has been shown that urban trees help provide an overall feeling of community well-being. For example, a stronger sense of community and empowerment to improve neighborhood conditions in inner cities has been attributed to involvement in urban forestry efforts.[6]
For more information on the social benefits of urban forests, check out the resources at the College of Environment, University of Washington, on Human Dimensions of Urban Forestry and Urban Greening.
These are only a few of the many benefits that urban forests can provide if kept healthy and if they are cared for properly. They also provide bird and wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities, improve soil quality and reduce erosion, add to your home's property value and more.
Urban forests can help mitigate climate change.
Urban Forests can help to mitigate climate change two ways: through direct carbon uptake and sequestration and by reducing the amount of carbon and other greenhouse gases emitted.
Shrubs and trees store carbon in woody tissue, leaves and roots for years — even decades to centuries — taking carbon dioxide out of our atmosphere, reducing the greenhouse gas effect and slowing the rate of climate change. In fact, urban trees in the lower 48 U.S. states store 770 million tons of carbon, valued at $14.3 billion.[7]
Trees in urban areas, through shade in the summer and as windbreaks in winter, help limit the need for cooling and heating and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by power plants, commercial and residential buildings. According to the U.S. Forest Service, "reduced emissions from trees can be substantial, especially in regions with large numbers of air conditioned buildings, long cooling seasons and where coal is the primary fuel for electric power generation." For more information, check out this article on "Urban Tree Planting and Greenhouse Gas Reductions."
Urban forests can help communities adapt to climate change.
Urban trees can be strategically placed to better prepare communities for the impacts of climate change. For example, specific species of trees in urban areas can be planted to provide shade, thereby reducing the Urban Heat Island Effect and creating more comfortable outdoor space in hot summers. Urban trees can be placed to create soil stability in areas that are prone to erosion from severe weather events and placed to provide protection from strong winds. For more information, check out the document called "Urban forests: A Climate Adaptation Guide" and this paper called "Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Urban Forests: A Framework for Sustainable Urban Forest Management."

A Greenback man was killed Nov. 13 in a single-vehicle crash on state Highway 95 near Bethel Valley Road.
Daniel B. Summers, 46, died in the 7:29 p.m. crash.
Oak Ridge police reports said Summers was driving north on Highway 95 when his Chevrolet Trailblazer left the road. The vehicle slid sideways about 80 feet along a ditch line when both side wheels "dug in" causing the Trailblazer to go airborne.
Reports said the Trailblazer overturned in the air and landed on the driver's side door and upside down against a tree.
An Oak Ridge Fire Department report said the car had about a two-foot intrusion into the driver's door. Oak Ridge National Laboratory firefighters were on the scene before ORFD and found no pulse on Summers, report said. ORFD extricated the body from the wreckage.
Summers was properly restrained and no tests were given for alcohol or drug use.

Lifetime Finishes™: Baldwin's multi-patented Lifetime Finishes™ provide unprecedented protection against the effects of weather, normal wear and tear, and even the rigorous test of coastal salt air. By adapting the vapor deposition processed used to create premium gold pens, Baldwin creates a unique surface across your door hardware that is guaranteed to withstand the ravages of time.
Living Finishes: Baldwin Living Finishes, which include Non-Lacquered Brass, Vintage Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Distressed Oil Rubbed Bronze, are designed to mimic the patina of a well-loved piece of vintage hardware, and as such will change and adapt over time naturally. For those who appreciate the well-worn look of aged door hardware, but still require the strength and durability of a Baldwin finish, Living Finishes are an ideal fit.
Concealed Screws: Baldwin Estate Collection knobs and rosettes install cleanly on both the interior and exterior of the door, completely concealing all screws required for the installation. All you'll ever see is the door, and the hardware you've chosen for it—seamlessly co-existing.

"Waste not, want not." "Clean your plate! There are starving children in Biafra."
Those were my mom's admonitions in my childhood, less than 20 years after World War II ended. As someone who experienced food rationing firsthand, she knew how blessed we were to eat what we wanted, when we wanted. Yet, in our world of plenty of the post-war era, fears of food shortages don't resonate with average Americans.
Globally, hunger kills more people each year than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. We see heartbreaking images of famine in far off places, but tend to overlook the hunger in our in own backyard and our own ability to end it. Chronic malnourishment exists in our country, and is prevalent close to home.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture - one of the most prolific regulatory agencies in the country - defines food security as "access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members." Obviously, food insecurity is the converse. In 2011, 14.9 percent of American households were food insecure. Although I couldn't obtain the numbers for Eagle County households, I did receive the number of meals served by the Salvation Army. Those numbers are not good. There has been a steady increase in people receiving food assistance from this stalwart charity between 2008 and 2011. Hunger is alive and well in our community where the rich and famous play.
So why the numbers on hunger? Isn't it Thanksgiving, a time to enjoy the bounty of the harvest and give thanks for our blessings? Yes, but it's also the perfect time to contemplate these issues and discover simple ways you can respect our food supply and help ensure there are more full bellies here.
Don't waste Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is an American holiday we all celebrate in the same manner regardless of religious beliefs or ethnicity - feasting on traditional foods of the holiday. Americans will consume on average 3,000 calories at their Thanksgiving feast. If the recently released statistics on food wastage are correct, a great deal of that meal and what was used to make it will be wasted.
This past August, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) released a shocking report. Forty percent of all edible food ends up in landfills and incinerators each year. To put that in perspective, a few annual statistics: 33 million tons of landfill waste, $165 billion worth of food, $40 billion of which comes from households, $28 to $43 per person each month, $750 million to dispose of it, 4 percent of total U.S. oil consumption, and 25 percent of all freshwater used in the U.S. Following the release of the report, NRDC's Dana Gunder stated, "No matter how sustainably our food is farmed, if it's not being eaten, it not a good use of our resources."
Food wastage jumped dramatically between the early '70s and 2011. Perhaps due to increased portion sizes, Madison Avenue's hand in marketing of "pretty" fruits and vegetables, increased litigiousness, and overzealous federal, state and local regulations that result in edible food being tossed. That's a mouthful of statistics that could ruin anyone's appetite. But I'm not finished with the numbers.
Let's look at more disturbing NRDC statistics. Unsold fruits, vegetables and meat in grocery stores account for a large percentage of wasted food. Restaurants, through over-sized portions or poor product management, are major contributors to waste. But households do their fair share tossing that which could have been consumed if properly shopped, stored and utilized: 40 percent of fresh fish, 23 percent of eggs, and 20 percent of milk. Fruits and vegetables are on the list, too. I don't mean to pick on consumers, grocery stores and restaurants, but losses in the farming and transportation end of the chain of commerce pale in comparison to these amounts of waste.
Now the good news
I could fill this article with more statistics on dire food production issues facing us, but I want to spend my remaining words sharing some thoughts on how to improve the situation. This is one area where lifestyle changes and less laziness in planning can reap benefits both at home and in the community.
The NRDC report states that a mere 20 percent reduction of food waste can feed 15 million people in the U.S. In my own home, I've found that it's not such an onerous task. It just takes some planning and self-control at the grocery store and in restaurants. With Dana Gunder's dire prediction that $280 million of perfectly edible Thanksgiving turkey meat will find be thrown away, this seems like the perfect holiday to commence your own food waste reduction initiative.
So here are some suggestions from chefs, Gunder's blog and my own experience that you can try:
Portion control - This is simple. Make less at home. Order less in the restaurant. Or, if this is just not possible, remember to take home leftovers, but don't shove them in the back of the refrigerator. Making large amounts at home is great, if you can freeze it.
Inventory your refrigerator - This suggestion comes from nearly a year of behind-the-scenes experiential research for my column. It requires a minor investment: blue painter's tape, black felt marker and reusable plastic containers (I prefer Snaplocks from Costco). Mark the contents and date of everything that goes into your refrigerator and freezer, and organize both compartments according to food type. I saved a good deal of food - and money - utilizing this restaurant practice at home.
Use foods more than once - Turn dried bread into breadcrumbs and freeze. Ready to toss that loaf of bread? Don't! Make "toasties:" Cut slices into quarters and place on a sheet pan. Fill a plastic squirt bottle with your favorite olive oil, and squirt the bread with oil and sprinkle with herbs, if desired. Place the sheet pan in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes. Turn oven off and allow the bread time to crisp in the oven. Great for snacking and as crostini for hors d'oeuvres.
Boney flavor - I grew up in Thibodaux, Louisiana, where turkey and andouille gumbo are post-holiday favorites. Roast the carcass and make a stock with it. Great way to utilize remaining vegetables and herbs, plus that white meat that was a bit too dry will be perfect in your gumbo. Lots of recipes on the Internet.
Brussels Sprouts - The dark, outer leaves of Brussels sprouts seem to always make their way to the disposal. But at Splendido in Beaver Creek, David Walford's cooks pan saute them in oil, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper for a delicious family meal side dish.
Go shopping in your pantry and refrigerator - Before you head to the store, explore your own stock of groceries. Maybe you can modify a recipe or find something on websites like http://www.yummly.com.
I have more ideas from local chefs and grocery stores I will share with you next week. This will get you started.
Best wishes to you and yours for a happy, bountiful Thanksgiving. We are blessed to live in such a beautiful place and in such a wonderful country. But we mustn't forget the others who comprise that 14.9 percent who don't share our food security.
