Nine people died in skiing accidents in Summit County in 2012. Six of them were wearing helmets.
Experts say helmets don't necessarily save skier and snowboarder's lives, but they can help prevent serious head injuries on the mountain.
Helmets only protect the wearers head, and most are only effective up to speeds of 12-14 mph. In fatal crashes, skiers and snowboarders are often traveling at higher speeds or suffer severe injuries to other parts of the body.
"We don't want them to give you a false sense of protection," National Ski Areas Association director of risk Dave Byrd said. "It's not just putting a helmet on and thinking you can speed. It's putting a helmet on and following the responsibility codes. We say wear a helmet, but ski or snowboard as if you're not wearing one."
But many experts say helmets can be counted on to do more good than harm.
The use of safety helmets was shown to reduce the risk and severity of head injuries on the slopes, but contrary to popular belief, was not linked to an increase the wearer's participation in risky behaviors. In one study, individuals who were wearing helmets on the slope did not self-report skiing or riding at faster speeds, trying more difficult terrain or attempting more jumps.
"There is really a great case to be made for wearing helmets," stated Adil Haider, an associate professor of surgery and leader of a well-publicized study on helmet use, in a recent release from Johns Hopkins Medicine. "By increasing awareness and giving people scientific proof, we hope changes in behavior will follow."
Helmets aren't required on the slopes under Colorado law, but data show behaviors may be changing. More than 65 percent of skiers and snowboarders wore helmets during the 2011-12 season, breaking an industry record, according to the National Ski Areas Association. Numbers were higher among younger athletes, topping out at 91 percent of children ages 9 and younger.
"Helmet usage is higher out here (in Colorado) than it is around the country," Byrd said.
Which might account for the uptick in helmeted skiers killed on the slopes in Summit County in recent years - the number jumped from zero in 2009, to one in 2010, two in 2011 and six last year.
The majority of skiers killed on the slopes last year died from injuries caused when they hit inanimate objects, including trees, a stump and a shed. Two skiers were killed in falls.
Skiers consistently die in far greater numbers than snowboarders in Summit County.

1. Crisis in a time of chocolate and friendship
Thanks also to everyone who would've written had they had the time to read my blog. You've been busy, but that's okay. I know you care.
Thanks to all the people who poured me a cup of chocolate, virtual or not. Special thanks to my mom, who sent a gazillion packets of instant chocolate mix by airmail. I can buy instant chocolate mix at any store, but I can't buy that kind of love.
Thanks to my professors and my students for having more faith in me than I had in myself. Thanks for challenging me to do better.
Thanks, world, for reminding me that no matter how bad a crisis looks, I don't face it alone. I'm surrounded by people who are happy to help in whatever way they can. I can only hope that I will have opportunities to pay them back--or pay them forward.
What's crisis in the time of chocolate and friendship? It is an opportunity for shared troubles and shared joy.
2. Crossroads
Add to this his love for teaching...<blockquote> I've been drawn into Philosophy from day one with it, and there's just an amazing feeling you get when you have a student walk in and think how irrelevant Philosophy is to life only to walk out and think otherwise. </blockquote>
... and you have a very talented person wondering which way he should go, what he should do.<blockquote> Mr. Bulaong told me to look at myself carefully, because the universe is molding me into something with an amazing potential. The question is for what that potential is meant to be, because it seems like this time, I can't expect to have my cake and eat it, too. </blockquote>
In the book "Built to Last", James Collins and Jerry Porras show how successful companies find ways to combine their strengths and explore their full potential. Success is not about the tyranny of the OR, but rather about the genius of the AND.
Why shouldn't people be able to do that too? It's not about OR: communications OR philosophy, radio OR teaching. Marcelle, keep thinking, keep wondering--you'll find a way to have your cake AND eat it too!
Not all teaching is done within a classroom, and not all communication is done from the DJ's booth. I know Marcelle will find a way to live as all of himself instead of just one part, as I trust I will find a way to fully, truly live.

3. Creativity
But the world is one of abundance, and life is too rich and wonderful for us to run out of things to say. There are a million things I want to write about, and the main thing that frustrates me is that I can't find the words to express them as well as I want to. They are there, dancing just beyond my fingertips, waiting for me to describe them...

Is it ok for two autism special Ed teacher to send a child on a county wide field trip unsupervised with the principal and parents unaware of this happening? The child had spent more than nine months in residential treatment facility. The child had only attended school three days after being released. The child went nuts had several major blow ups at wvup last year during the event. the reasoning from the teachers was they wanted an extra aide in the classroom and this way they got it. The teacher undid everything the nine months may have accomplished but no one will ever know. And again it was not suppose to be a big deal, but the more I think about it it may be come a big deal.

Thanks Matt... I do not condone a lawsuit which will take money away from our students, as our county schools have enough issues to address as it is. If it's a lawsuit to change policy, allow better training, and ensure this situation doesn't ever again occur, I'm ok with that. If this can all be resolved, and the change in policy and training be done WITHOUT any lawsuits, that would be outstanding, and the best resolution for everyone involved, which includes ALL Wood county kids.

I also don't appreciate the implication that I set my kid up to be a rat for a payout. Truth is, my kid took the pic and sent it before I had any clue that any of it was going on. A colleague of mine, who has known my children and me for years, informed me because she'd heard about it and wanted to tell me how proud of my kid she was. Then I asked my son about it, and he filled me in. THAT'S how I came to know about all of this.

This is hilarious our resident that supports telling the on the public to the police calls everyone a rat who tells on officials. How is itt just fine for the general public to tell on each other for infractions to laws but not fine for officials to be reported by other officials or the common person for infractions to the very same system supposed to be equal? it makes no sense. if the law is to provide equal protection then it has to be equally applied. If a whistleblower is to be praised for actions leading to an arrest . Why does the whistle blower only get praise when it is a citizen is the one to be punished yet their a rat if it is a official? Its a two way street or the system is a joke plain and simple.

WALNUT — In the Southern Section cross country finals, Burroughs junior Maryah Marcano was a few seconds away from qualifying for state. Marcano finished 22nd overall in the Division 3 finals on Saturday at Mt. San Antonio College, and ended the race five seconds shy of advancing.
"In her first time at something like that, to be that competitive and close was quite an accomplishment," Burros head coach Anthony Barnes said. "A lot of those schools and individuals have been there before — to go from never having even qualified for a final to almost making it to state is impressive.
"It was a good way to end the season — it was the closest anyone has come."
Marcano ran the three-mile course in 18:39, eight seconds slower than the school record time for the course she ran in the prelims the previous week. She finished six spots and four seconds behind the last state qualifier from a non-qualifying team, Kelsey Creese of Bonita.
"She was so close in the overall picture of things," Barnes said. "There was a five-second difference between eight places. She would have liked to have done better, but nobody is feeling like it was a bad meet or a bad race."
In the last half of the race, Marcano moved from 35th to her eventual finishing position of 22nd — but that late surge wasn't enough. The junior turned in a solid performance, but didn't deliver the outstanding performance necessary to advance.
"She moved up, but even she knew at that point that it was going to be tough to get all the way back up there — she tried and almost did," Barnes said. "It was a consistent, good performance."
Saturday's race brought an end to Marcano's historic 2013 season. The junior led the Burros to a second-place finish in the Desert Sky League — behind state qualifier Granite Hills — and became the first girl in school history to race in the section finals.
"We're going to take this into track and just try to build on it — there are still some things to develop and work on," Barnes said. "She ran a good race to qualify — now it's a matter of how do you qualify for each level. It's a learning experience and a learning curve."

ALBANY -- They come at dusk. Almost every single night at dusk. Neighbors peer out of their windows across the street at the curious parade. Drivers coming home from work are forced to sit in their cars until the group gets out of the street.
But once the parade is over, the rafter of wild turkeys ends up in the giant redwood tree in the backyard of Pareen Shah and Renu Bhatt. The tree, perhaps 100 feet tall and rumored to be the oldest in Albany, has become a roosting place for as many as 30 of the large game birds. And although the turkeys leave their nocturnal roost during the day, ample evidence remains behind.
Think unwanted fertilizer.
"There are droppings all over the yard, all over the house and our garage," Bhatt said. "Our kids are not allowed outside, I don't like to go outside. It's so gross, it smells like a zoo."
Shah and Bhatt have two small boys, ages 4½ and 1. On Sunday, Bhatt carried the little one on her hip while the older child followed Shah and a reporter around the property.
The older boy looked like he hadn't been allowed outside in months, running around and throwing a piece of plastic in the air, then bending over to pick it up with his father reminding him not to play near the droppings.
The turkeys first appeared about a year ago -- just a few on a neighbor's roof, according to Shah.
"They came and they were gone," he said. "They didn't stick around for long. It was during the day. They were on the roof and then they flew across the street and went away. They were only here for several hours at most. At that time it was kind of endearing. 'That's kind of interesting, wild turkeys in Albany.'"
Things changed, interestingly, around Thanksgiving. Suddenly, after the couple had the redwood tree trimmed, a flock of turkeys began roosting in it. Shah and Bhatt were told spraying the birds with water or making noise by banging pots and pans might drive them off. But the tree is tall enough that the turkeys just move higher.
"The hose has worked for our neighbors but we have yet to find a nozzle that is powerful enough to get them out of the tree," Bhatt said.
It's not clear whether the five or six original turkeys "multiplied," or if the gobble on the street spread to other turkeys about the cool accommodations. However, mating season is beginning -- on Sunday, one of the Toms was puffed up and strutting down the sidewalk -- and 30 turkeys could become a lot more pretty quickly.
Shah spoke at the City Council meeting Feb. 19 and the next day, city staff was working with county and state agencies to try to find a solution, said city clerk Nicole Almaguer.
"There's regulations regarding wild animals," she said. "We're also seeking assistance from a wildlife rescue to see if there's anything that can be done humanely to get the turkeys out of the backyard. This is really outside of the city's capacity, we really don't have any wildlife expertise on staff."
Dan Wilson, Community Relations coordinator of Alameda County Vector Control, said that while there is probably no reason to worry about the turkeys spreading any specific disease, turkeys can become aggressive, especially if people are illegally feeding them.
"The main thing that they do, if you have plants in your yard, they'll dig them up and eat them," Wilson said. "They'll jump on your cars and scratch them. They can charge people. We've had some examples where they've charged older people and they fell down."
Turkeys are not native to California, according to Wilson, and were introduced in the 1960s as game for hunters by what is now known as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Wilson added that there is only one way, under state regulations, to get rid of the turkeys: by issuing a predation license and having them trapped and killed. Shah and Bhatt are looking for a more humane solution -- they would like the turkeys relocated.
"I don't want to relocate the problem to another town or neighborhood," Bhatt said. "If they would stay in the country or in a zoo that would be ideal."
Shah said he was very happy with the city's response.
"The fact that it looks like there's action developing and energy to doing something, that's encouraging for us," he said. "The fact it might take a few weeks, we're fine with."
He called the situation a "comic nuisance."
"At the end of the day, it's a nuisance," he said. "There are far, far greater problems than having a bunch of wild turkeys in your backyard."

DEBEQUE, Colo. (KKCO) Weather: Predicted winds prevailed Sunday afternoon, sustaining between 10 to 15 miles per hour, and gusting to 27 miles per hour. Also, the fire area experienced very hot and dry conditions. On Sunday night, crews dealt with poor humidity recovery from daytime dryness, but temperatures were cooler and winds were light.
Current Situation: Good progress was made on the northeast and east flanks of the fire Sunday. Both areas are in patrol status; however, the south flank of the fire still remains hot. Helicopters were utilized to drop buckets of water to douse smokes and cool hot spots in the south area of the fire. Firing operations were successful (a tactic used to strengthen fire line) which did result in an increase in acreage.
Sunday night activity: Engine crews were used Sunday night to patrol the Colorado River and I-70 corridor to prevent the establishment of spot fires across the river. Crews also remained vigilant for hot spots in the northern portion of the fire where firing operations took place.
Evacuations and Public Safety: Mesa County Sheriff's office wants residents in many parts of eastern Mesa County to remember a pre-evacuation order is still in effect and they encourage residents to remain vigilant and ready to leave again. Mesa County residents can register for the Emergency Notification through the City of Grand Junction website at: www.gjcity.org. This will allow 911 operators to notify residents by land line and cell phone of emergencies or evacuation orders being reinstated.
Also, 1-70 is currently open but travelers should be aware that road closures could be implemented if fire activity warrants.
Smoke Management: Smoke affects each of us differently. Sensitive people (elderly, young children and those with heart or lung disease) may be less tolerant of light to moderate smoke. Heavier periods of smoke can impact even healthy individuals and may cause eye, nose and throat irritation, coughing and headaches. During such times stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities. Spend time in an area of clean air. Seek medical assistance if someone you know is experiencing unexpected fatigue, headaches, confusion, or breathing problems.

By JOHN SEEWER and JULIE CARR SMYTH
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Gov. John Kasich plans to propose raising $1.5 billion for highway projects with Ohio Turnpike bonds while preserving the toll way as a public entity, according to state lawmakers briefed Wednesday night on the plan.
The proposal means the Ohio Turnpike won't be sold or leased to a private operator — an option that drew complaints about the possibility of higher tolls and job losses for those who work on the 241-mile toll road that cuts across northern Ohio.
State. Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, a Napoleon Republican, was among those briefed by phone by the Kasich team on the proposal. The teleconference came ahead of a series of announcements Kasich has planned beginning Thursday in Toledo.
Wachtmann said the plan preserves the Ohio Turnpike Commission and retains workers' jobs. The first $1 billion from bonds would come right away, the rest in four years.
"Most of the people in Ohio want to see the turnpike administration stay the way it is," Wachtmann said. "I think the governor is to be commended."
The governor's latest plan calls for northern Ohio road projects to get priority treatment, a move necessary to obtain buy-in from the communities that have long paid tolls for using the roadway as well as relying on it for jobs.
State Sen. Gayle Manning, a North Ridgeville Republican, said she had been concerned about how leasing the roadway would affect her northeast Ohio community.
She said she is eager to hear details, but feels Kasich may have struck a compromise that will preserve jobs while also raising money to address a deficit in funding for highway projects.
"Right out of the gate, I wasn't happy about leasing it," she said. "This might be a good compromise. It keeps the infrastructure how we like it, and yet we won't see other roads deteriorate."
Kasich is expected to ask for modest toll increases for vehicles traversing the state, while freezing rates for a decade for those making turnpike trips of less than 30 miles.
Wachtmann said toll increases would be minimal, in order to keep truck traffic from leaving the turnpike for local roads.
"I don't think anybody can possibly claim that what the governor is doing is not good for Ohio, because they went through a very thorough process," he said.
Spokesmen for the governor, the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Office of Budget and Management all declined to provide details of the plan earlier Wednesday.
Kasich at first appeared to be intent on leasing or selling the road, but local leaders from counties and cities along the along the turnpike objected loudly, saying they feared higher tolls that would drive more traffic onto routes that meander through small towns.
Tolls have nearly doubled since investors took over the Indiana Toll Road.
In Ohio, it's now $16.50 for cars making a full trip on the turnpike, which expects to collect a $250 million from motorists this year.
Kasich has maintained that the turnpike is an underutilized asset that can bring more revenue at a time when the state is getting ready to roll out a new two-year budget.
He initially said the state could get at least $2.5 billion in leasing it and has said the money would pay for work on roads, bridges and harbors without raising taxes.
A five-county planning body in northeast Ohio argued that most of the money should to go toward projects in northern Ohio, where the turnpike money is generated. It also sought to make sure there are guarantees that a private operator will keep up with highway maintenance.
The concern is that if the road becomes too costly or goes downhill, businesses that rely on the route might relocate or it will be tougher to attract new companies.
Another worry is that truck traffic will move to secondary roads and clog up the small towns along the way. That's what happened when an 82 percent rate increase took full effect in 1999. The state responded by lowering tolls and increasing speeds for truckers.

Cheb Khaled
By 1986, Khaled (who'd now dropped the Cheb) had been forced to move to Paris, as violence in Algeria claimed lives and he'd been threatened several times (producer Ahmed would, in fact, be murdered, as would several Raï performers). Arriving with a reputation, he attempted to take his music to a global level, although his real debut, Kutche, did him no favors with its jazz-rock arrangements. He fared much better with 1992's Khaled, with some tracks produced by Michael Brook and others by Don Was. It yielded his first big hit, "Didi," and helped consolidate his reputation as Raï's first superstar. That was firmly cemented the following year with the Was-produced N'ssi N'ssi, which mixed funk, rock, and an Egyptian orchestra behind Khaled's persuasive voice and winning smile for a major commercial breakthrough in France, winning a European, as well as North African, audience. In 1996, he hit again with Sahra, whose first single, "Aïcha," written for his daughter, gave Khaled a French number one hit. A mix of producers gave varying sounds, with French hip-hoppers Akhenton & Imhotep proving the hardest on the track "Oran Marseille" with its rapid-fire rap. There was even some reggae on "Mektoubi," which merged relatively seamlessly with the North African sound. While well-received critically, it sold little in the U.S. however, unlike France, where the album became Khaled's biggest success. Perhaps the moment that justified his title of King of Raï, however, came in 1999, when he headlined the 1-2-3 Soleils concert in Paris (which led to the album of the same name), over Rachid Taha and Faudel. It was the biggest Algerian show ever staged in France and left no doubt that Khaled remained Raï's hottest attraction. 2000 brought Kenza and a change of producer, as former prog rocker Steve Hillage helped bring a more organic feel to the proceedings. A smash in Europe, once again it did little business in the U.S. ~ Chris Nickson

After last year's steady improvement in the single-family home market, this year's up and down performance so far is unsettling. About 12 percent fewer homes have sold in the first quarter of this year and the average price is down by 5.7 percent after a weak March. April sales are looking stronger, though, at least in the number sold.
Hopefully the continued low inventory will support prices even with three-quarters of the historic number of sales. There are still fewer than 1,600 properties for sale.
14 ... single-family homes sold for $1 million or more to date 2013
21 ... single-family homes sold for $1 million or more to date 2012

Like numerous communities in Kentucky, Campbellsville is seriously considering the important step of prohibiting smoking in restaurants. This is taking place all over the U.S. as people become more and more aware of the serious health consequences of exposure to other peoples' smoke.
In my capacity as a professor at Western Kentucky University for 25 years, I was in Campbellsville many times, teaching students from Campbellsville.

This is my online creative journal, where I 'show and tell' what I've been doing and find inspiration and community with other like-minded people. I have a preference for long, slow needlework projects that I intersperse with quicker, often more seasonal projects including digital photography, papercrafts, food, gardening and even the odd musical offering. Sometimes I have deep thoughts and I write about them too!

Police have ended a standoff in East Price Hill.
Officers blocked streets near the intersection of Eighth Street and Consodine Avenue shortly after 8:30 a.m.
A spokesman said officers were attempting to serve a warrant for a robbery when the wanted man, Ben Kenney, refused to come out.
The spokesman said Kenney began piling things against the front door, and a SWAT unit was called in.
Kenney, along with three others in the home, surrendered to officers just before 10 a.m. Police said one of the other people in the building also had warrants against him.

The Rampage 41 Express has a LOA of 44' (13.41 m) and a beam of 16' (4.88 m).
Mission Statement
Flexibility is the operative word with the Rampage 41. She can be had in either the 41 "Express" or "Open" version. The Express is a serious fishing machine fully equipped for big game. The Open is a "crossover" version that is intended for both family cruising and day-boating, as well as fishing. Multiple cockpit configurations are available for different specific applications. By offering a boat that can truly morph between a hardcore fishing machine and a luxurious/entertaining cruiser, the Rampage 41 Express has important utility that most boats in class lack.
Distinguishing Features
• Among the Widest Beam in Class. At 16' (4.88 m), the Rampage 41 Express has what we've found to be one of the widest beams in class, 1' to 3' wider, in fact. This has huge benefits to the interior space as a crowd can feel more relaxed and less cramped. Cockpit and helm deck space are also robust as a result, and side decks are not neglected.
• Heavy Dry Weight. With an estimated 30,000 (13,608 kg) dry weight, she's heavier than most express cruisers and in the middle of express fish boats. That translates to a more solid feel to her handling characteristics, which we've verified during our tests.
• Cabin Headroom, 6'7" (2.0 m). This puts her headroom at the top of the class and really gives her an open, expansive feel when in the lower deck. When combined with the added beam, the result is a boat that seems much bigger than her 41'.
• Helm Deck Seating. We think that this helm deck is one of the most functional in class. We like the helm on the centerline and the port and starboard companion seats that are independent and swivel. Further, the port and starboard banquettes are comfortable and with them, 4 to 6 more people can be seated.
• Two-Cabin Layout. Rampage has added an optional aft bulkhead to the rear of the salon creating a second stateroom with a Pullman-style berth over the lower berth. This adds privacy and makes the boat into a family cruiser, a vessel that can be cruised by two couples, or one that can host a gang for an extended fishing tournament.
• Greater Fuel Capacity -- Greater Range. The Rampage 41 Express carries 700 gallons (2,650 L) of fuel. That is 100 gallons (379 L) more than her closest competitor and 175 gallons (662 L) or 33% more than most boats in class. This gives the 41 Express prodigious range, particularly at moderate cruising speeds.
• Built by KCS International. Most express boat builders specialize in either the cruising or the sportfishing categories. KCS International builds boats in both. It cruising boat line is Cruisers Yachts, which is a premier line of luxury boats. All of the materials and designer fabrics that are used in the Cruisers Yachts are also used in the Rampage 41 Express.
The Rampage 41 Express turned out to be an extremely easy boat to maneuver around the dock, even without the expense of pod drives.
Caveat. Before we get into the performance aspect, it's important to note that we were testing on a sloppy day with the winds blowing across Lake Michigan creating 2' to 4' seas. Not ideal conditions but it certainly gave us a good indication of how well she handles in this sort of mess. We say "not ideal" because any boat will slow down and use more fuel when battering against seas of this size vs. flat-calm conditions. On the other hand, we like to also get a feel for how the boat will handle in challenging conditions, knowing that performance numbers are a "worse case" scenario. So with that said….
The Test Boat Specs. The Rampage 41 Express has an LOA of 44' (13.41 m) with pulpit, a beam of 16' (4.88 m) and a dry weight of 33,725 lbs. ( 15,329 kgs.). Fully laden with all tanks full she would have a displacement of 38,860 lbs. (17,773 kgs.). The boat as tested had an estimated displacement of 37,455 lbs. (17,025 kgs.), or 96% of her fully laden displacement. Most boats are tested with half fuel or less, so in addition to the sea conditions, her nearly maximum weight also makes our test numbers a "real world" indicator.
Speed and Fuel Consumption. With a pair of 715-hp CAT C-12 ACERT's turning 29x43 Veem Interceptor props, we reached a top speed of 35.5 kts at 2300 rpm. At that speed we were burning 68 gph for a range of 328.7 nm. Best cruise came in at 1750 rpm and 24.3 kts. That speed reduced the fuel burn down to 37 gph, giving us a range of 414.6 nm.
Now the Rampage factory test captain tells us that he has easily reached speeds of 36 to 37 kts. Considering that he probably did so on a calm day, we could believe that with no problem. But the fact that we came darn close to that in 2' to 4' seas is a huge testimony to how well this boat handles this type of conditions. And she did it with no pounding.
Our test captain's report read as follows:
"This is an exceptionally well-mannered boat. She carves through snotty conditions with ease and remained comfortable throughout the entire test. Her wide flared bows throw a lot of water, and with gusty conditions there was no way to expect a dry ride. However, we did find that the wipers were sufficient to keep the windshields clear, and we appreciated the delay feature as well as the fact that they're self stowing."
"In a head sea, the test numbers speak for themselves. We hardly slowed down from the 37 knots the factory captain got in calm conditions. As good as she was in a head sea, she was even better in the beam and following seas. In all conditions, the autopilot held the course steadily with no corrections needed.
"In following seas, there was no tendency to plow into the forward waves, but she would slice through with more than enough buoyancy to rise to the top every time. We tried increasing speed at select times to see if the bow would stuff but she was having none of it. She just kept slicing through and rising to meet the next wave, all while we were able to stand with barely a need to hold onto anything."
Hawse holes leading to 12" (30.5 cm) cleats keep the caprails snag free.
Getting the Shaft?
We're seeing that there's a trend in the industry favoring pods for this class of boat. The truth is, that this is a trend that favors the marketability of the boats rather than the boats themselves. Don't get us wrong, there are distinct advantages with pods regarding fuel burn and the all-important joystick functionality. But those come at a hefty price increase over straight shafts and rudders. And that price can be hard to justify.
So here, Rampage stayed with the tried and true shaft/rudder system. We've already validated how well she performs, so what about at the dock? Can she still be maneuvered in close quarters?
Dock Envy
Any concerns about being able to handle this boat around the dock should be alleviated by a simple test ride. She is among the easiest boats to dock that we've been on. A large part of that ease of maneuverability comes from the addition of the optional bow thruster ($10,735) that represents a fraction of the cost of pods. With this, and the big props, we were able to make this boat practically deal cards.
With 100 sq. ft. of open space three's plenty of room for fishing or entertaining. The shore power cord is connected to an electric cord reel.
Docking the 41 Express. She moves well on her own momentum and there's a lot of thrust coming from those 43" pitch props. To start, shift into "low" mode on the controls to activate the trolling valves. Then, just control her with pulses -- in and out of gear -- using the separate engines to control speed and direction. We had her sliding sideways to, and used the thruster to gently hold her OFF the dock, and that translated into a gentle kiss against the dock just as we ran out of momentum.
Backing into a slip, we lined up the stern and drove her back in with the engines pulling the stern gently one way or the other. The bow thruster would then keep the hull lined up properly for the narrow entry. All that was needed was a tap or two on the thruster stick. Our captain reported: "She's quite intuitive and seems to follow the command on her own with very little input from the helm. It was eerie, and comforting at the same time."
Here we have the basic cockpit layout with twin aft-facing seats and a livewell at the transom. Note that these are real seats and not a console with a pad on top.
Features Inspection
By starting our inspection in the cockpit we can begin to get a feel for the versatility that makes the Rampage 41 Express such an attractive boat. Everything that can be added is modular so components can be selected at will to dial-in to the type of boat wanted. For example, based on the owner's experience and comfort level, the boat can come equipped with bow or bow and stern thrusters, or no thrusters at all.
Cockpit. Our test boat was laid out with the basic setup of two aft facing seats ($4,260 ea) and a livewell at the transom. The seats are unusual because they can actually be sat in by most anyone without having to climb up on to a console or mezzanine. Likewise, when wanting to get up and grab a pole, the angler does not have to hop down from a perch.
The livewell in the transom is standard and has a capacity of 65-gallons (246 L) but tuna tubes can be added that will reduce the capacity to 45-gallons (170 L).
The Fighting Pit. The cockpit itself is 100 sq. ft. -- as big as any in class. For those who want to fit a fighting chair, support has already been laminated in underneath the deck in the center, and there is room behind the chair for a mate to guide the chair and another hand to move from port to starboard with gaff or net.
Plenty of LED courtesy lighting is conveniently placed to satisfy both the night fishermen and the owner entertaining a group for an evening cruise across the bay.
Cockpit bolsters are removable but they're comfortable for whatever the itinerary calls for so no need to bother. Seven gunwale-mounted rod holders are strategically placed, and we'd certainly consider dropping a grill into one. The transom door is to starboard and it can be used for boarding guests or tuna, both will be equally welcomed. There's both a fresh and raw water washdown spigot under the gunwales. Caprails are kept snag-free thanks to large hawse holes with cleats below.
Molded steps lead to the side decks. Switches to the side control the recirculating pumps, courtesy lights and elevate the helm deck for engine room access.
Dual fishboxes are large and both are equipped with macerators.
Additional modular components can be added as desired to create the layout suitable for the type of plan one has for the boat. To port, choose from an aft facing seat with a Frigid Rigid cooler below, a bait prep unit with sink and tackle storage or a bait prep unit with either a 120V or 220V freezer box. To starboard, add the same freezer boxes with voltage of choice, the bait prep with sink, or the aft seat with cooler.
Helm Deck
The helm deck features wrap around seating to both sides of a center-mounted helm. The forward ends have swivel pedestal seats to either side and these can face forward when underway, or swivel to the sides to create a conversational area. However, when facing forward the seats could really use footrests against the forward bulkheads. There are footrests below, but in a seaway, putting feet forward to wedge into the seat can be a major advantage in the quest for stability.
Seating wraps around the operator so all get to be involved in the action while underway. We like this unusual arrangement, not only are there port and starboard companion seats which means three sets of eyeballs can look forward, but those sitting abaft the helm can also help out.
Both companion seats have flip-down footrests but we'd add another to the forward bulkhead.
The helm is well laid out with quality components including digital engine controls. The test boat was fitted with the optional Raymarine package with twin 16" (40.6 cm) displays, a 4 kW open array radar, autopilot and a Raymarine 55 VHF. It bears noting that the panel is angled so that both displays are facing the operator, rather than simply being flat. Our test boat was also fitted with a bow thruster ($10,735) and we've touched on the benefits of that feature in the docking section of this report.
Three-across seating makes for more eyes looking forward and all seats swivel. Teak ladder back seats are offered as an option. Note the high windshield for weather protection and visibility.
The helm console is large and designed so that all components are within easy reach.
The helm is hinged so it comes forward to provide easy access for service and installations.
Between the windows and the optional hardtop, there's open space that is sure to be fitted with isinglass. We had a wet test day and it didn't make the helm any drier having it open. The other advantage of putting isinglass here is that on hot days it can be unzipped for fresh air.
Our test boat was fitted with the optional hardtop by Bausch American ($40,850) and it included a 3-degree forward angle radar mount, tri-color LED lighting, spreader lights, perimeter handrails and ladders to both rear corners.
Our test boat was fitted with the optional molded hardtop. By buttoning up the helm deck with isinglass, the 41 Express is easily turned into a three-season boat.
An upper station can be added to the 41 when a tuna tower is selected. Feel free to also add outriggers and a full canvas enclosure.
Engine Compartment
A switch to the right of the starboard aft-facing seat actuates the hinged helm deck, which raises and lowers automatically providing wide-open access to the engine compartment. Steps to the center make the access even easier. Entering a day hatch in the center of the helm deck makes for even quicker access.
An electrically actuated deck hatch that lifts the entire helm deck provides access to the engine compartment.
A day hatch allows quicker access to the engines and utilizes the same entry steps as the full deck access.
Captain Steve was just about able to stand inside the compartment at the forward end. The day hatch is just over his head. Note the clean, uncluttered nature of the engine room, the space outboard of the engines and the lights on the overhead.
Inside we have a well laid out compartment with easy access to all sides of the 715-hp CAT C12 ACERT engines. All of the batteries and switches are forward. Each engine, plus the genset, has it's own battery. A fourth bank powers the house systems.
A 24V battery charger is at the forward bulkhead along with the interface panel for the digital controls. Note that all wire runs are held in place with padded anti-chafe rings.
Fuel. The 700-gallon (2,650 L), total, fuel tanks are one of the secret weapons of the Rampage 41 Express both for offshore fishermen wanting to go down island, and for cruising folks who need serious range. The dual fuel tanks have a crossover system that requires electrically transferring fuel between the two tanks as need be. Racor filters are mounted to the tanks themselves. The 10 kW generator is standard and mounts just behind the entry steps.
Rampage made the 10 kW generator standard on the 41 Express.
The bow is easily accessed with roomy side decks. Fully forward there's an optional windlass ($5,030) with hatches to both sides to manage the rode.
Below Decks
Upon entering the accommodations deck, it immediately becomes apparent that there's a definite advantage to being owned by KCS, the same parent company that builds Cruisers Yachts. The same quality Cherry wood interior, vinyl headliner and solid Cherry table that we've come to admire in the company's yachts is right here as well. Standard flooring is removable carpeting over fiberglass decking but it's a rare individual that won't spring for the classy look of the teak and holly sole with removable carpet ($13,305).
The interior of the Rampage 41 Express serves four important functions: sleeping, cooking, dining and relaxing and personal hygiene.
The main salon is over to the port side and consists of an L-shaped, Ultraleather upholstered settee wrapping around a solid cherry pedestal table. A custom made oval mirror is fitted to the aft bulkhead. Overhead hatches provide natural light but there are no hull side windows or opening portlights. This is in keeping with the clean look of the exterior hull favored by most avid sportfishermen. The space is used for added storage.
The dinette area seats 4 for comfortable dining. Notice the high 6'7" (2.0 m) overhead clearance.
The settee is softly padded and upholstered in Ultraleather.
A classy feature is the rounded tops to the doors. It's much easier, and cheaper, to simply make them all straight, but it wouldn't have the rich look of these doors.
The galley is as pleasing as it is functional. Both the stove and sink are covered to add additional working space to the solid surface counter for food prep. Instead of the traditional microwave, Rampage added a convection microwave. The refrigerator and freezer are separate drawer units, which means that items will not come dumping out on the deck when opened.
The cover to the double-burner stove is reversible to allow use as a cutting surface. Same for the cover over the sink.
Options include teak flooring throughout the deck level ($13,305), the 15" (38 cm) TV ($1,435), and central vacuum.
Beautiful hardwoods contrast the light color of the solid surface counter and all the necessary appliances are present.
Master Stateroom
Forward of the salon is the master stateroom. In the standard configuration there is a privacy curtain to pull across, but we'd prefer the option that was fitted on our test boat that includes a solid bulkhead both fore and aft of the salon ($22,145) creating two private staterooms. The forward bulkhead also includes beautiful Wenge wood doors with elegant frosted glass inlays.
With the double stateroom option, the master gets this Wenge wood with satin finish bulkhead that includes a pair of glass inlayed doors.
Once inside, we are presented with an island queen berth with access steps to both sides. An overhead hatch allows natural light and ventilation as well as an emergency egress. All bedding is included and there's storage both below, and in the often-neglected space above the sides of the compartment in the bow flare. And naturally there are the usual cedar hanging lockers.
The master consists of an island queen complete with bedding. Note the copious amount of cabinet storage making use of the bow flare.
Aft Cabin
Behind the salon is an optional feature that we think makes the Rampage 41 Express even more attractive, an optional second cabin ($22,145). This one has a bench seat for sleeping on, and the seat back lifts up, Pullman-style, to create an upper berth. We like this arrangement because it maximizes space for one person, and maximizes sleeping potential with the Pullman. There's plenty of room to move about and get dressed. This is also where the ship's main electrical panel is located.
The aft cabin has a bench seat that is well padded for sleeping. The seat back becomes the base of the Pullman.
Lifting the seatback creates an upper berth. Guests will appreciate the privacy of their own cabin even if it is small. Remember, this is a boat, not the Taj Mahal.
Directly across from the aft cabin, or to the starboard side of the entry stairs, is the head. We expected to see a wet-head but this one features a full walk-in shower. There's storage both over the toilet and behind large mirrored doors over the sink. The sole and bulkheads are all fiberglass. As this is an offshore boat, a macerator pump with overboard discharge ($1,120) is offered for use when outside no discharge zones.
The head is functional, and attractive. It includes a separate walk-in shower stall.
Base pricing of the Rampage 41 Express is just under $846k. With full options that can climb. However, thanks to factory direct pricing, dealers are not required to stock this boat, which saves money on many aspects (shipping, insurance, floor plan…etc). Those savings are then passed onto the purchaser making this boat priced at $795k as tested.
Fishing Machine. In the express fishboat category there are only a few boats in this size range on the market. For those who want a hard-core fishing machine, the Rampage 41 Express' large cockpit and comfortable helm deck seating have obvious advantages. The remarkable 441 nautical mile range at best cruise is simply icing on the cake for anglers wanting to go down island and not have to worry about fuel.
Spectacular Range. A secondary aspect of the boat's range is the fact that she can easily go on her own bottom to places like Cozumel, Cabo San Lucas, or Venezuela. This capability will also appeal to any cruising family who would like to break out of the same-old-same-old and take a long cruise to the tropics -- or up north. Even going from Chicago to North Channel or Georgian Bay can easily be handled on a load of fuel.
Seaworthy Motor Cruiser. Not everyone can afford a large motoryacht, but they don't have to in order to have a trustworthy deck underfoot. In fact, the Rampage 41's low CG and tank-like bow make her a seaworthy vessel. That's what we like about boats originally designed for blue water work instead of running from one marina to another.
Interior Customization. While the Rampage 41 Express we tested had two sleeping cabins with bulkheads, the below decks area can be highly customized by the builder to fit specific applications. Without the bulkheads the salon becomes huge and the dinette greatly expanded. The forward cabin can have port and starboard bunks for grandkids or for four fishing buddies. One need only decide what is wanted.

How a Time-Management Schedule Will Set You Free
Too many people feel that the structure of a time management system is too restrictive. They think the freedom they seek with their schedules and their lives is contained in a more flexible environment. They're afraid establishing a routine will keep them wrapped in the chains of time.
However, most people waste too much time figuring out each individual day on the fly. They react to the day rather than respond. Reacting is a reflex action that turns over your agenda to others and that can't possibly lead to freedom. Responding is a disciplined act of planning that determines where and how you'll invest your time.
For example, suppose you have a set place in your schedule to respond to phone calls and problems. You've established the routine of dealing with these issues in predetermined time slots. You can hold off on your response until later — when you're calmer, more focused, and in a problem-solving mentality — instead of reacting because you're dealing with the issue now.
Planning how to spend your time, which at first glance seems opposed to freedom, is the only pathway to the true mastery of time. With the right routine come simplicity, productivity, and freedom. The "what am I going to work on today?" or "what's my schedule today?" never happens. And when you get the important work out of the way, you free yourself to do what you really enjoy.
If you're a free spirit, start with a small amount of routine. Ask yourself, "Can I establish a daily routine to try it out? What can I do without having it send me into withdrawal?" Then implement a new routine every week. You'll add more than 50 new pieces of structure to your schedule in a normal work year and see a significant improvement in your freedom.

'IS NULL' SQL Tuning
By AndyBaker on Apr 25, 2013
Frequently at client sites some very slow queries contain the SQL involving the 'IS NULL' criteria in the where clause. It is commonly known Oracle does not store NULL values in indexes so even though an index may exist for the column it is NOT usable in this case. However there is a solution to this situation and FULL table scans can be avoided!
Example: SQL> Select name from emp where dept_id is null;
So in the above example even if the dept_id is indexed on the table emp, due to the 'IS NULL' criteria it will NOT be used.
Many developers believe that this type of statement cannot be tuned and that a FULL table scan is the only option. However here is a solution to this issue, simply create an appropriate index but add in an additional constant value to the end of the index so that now NULL values are actually stored!
Example: SQL> create index E1 on EMP (DEPT_ID, -1);
Running an explain plan and executing the SQL it can be seen that the new index will now be used as NULL values are now indexed.
Real life example: At a particular customer site there was a situation where a table had over 11 million rows. A SQL statement had a lot of table joins but only 2 constraints in the where clause as below.
analyzing the table almost every row had the PRIV_FLG = 'N' so that was not
going to help, however looking at the integration_id from the 11 million rows,
only 51,167 were null values. The field 'integration_id' was
already indexed however this would not be used due to only wanting NULL values. By indexing as in the above example the new index
helped optimize the query significantly as the number of rows in the driving
table had been significantly reduced without any full table scans!

They're easy targets. Moving slowly through the ocean, often in predictable aggregations – these gentle, filter-feeding giants and their smaller cousins the devil rays - are being fished at an alarming rate.
International trade in gill rakers – the tight-knit, feathery structures these filter feeders use to strain plankton – is driven by Asian markets for Chinese medicine and poses an immediate threat to their survival. Catch of mantas reported to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has almost quadrupled in seven years.
Mantas have been classified as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). They are at particular risk to overfishing because they produce very few young. Many populations have already been depleted by unregulated fishing. Although legally protected in some nations and specific aggregation areas, these gentle giants migrate to unprotected waters of other countries and the high seas.
Dollars and Sense
Like sharks, mantas are at the top of diver's must-see list. Operations that offer manta diving and swimming programs are increasingly profitable and bring significant economic benefits to coastal communities across the globe. The Manta Ray of Hope project estimates the worldwide value of manta-based tourism and filming at $100 million USD per year.
With gill rakers fetching a one-time payout of $250 per kilogram for a pseudo-medicinal product, is it really worth the destruction?
Stop the Madness
Project AWARE and our partners succeeded in helping to protect mantas under the Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) in 2011, extend additional CMS protections to devil rays and other sharks in 2014 and regulate international trade in those species under CITES in 2013. Make a donation today to ensure that Project AWARE continues critical work to protect mantas and their close relatives the devil rays through:
Implemented International Agreements: Currently, only the giant manta ray is protected under the Convention of Migratory Species (CMS). Local and national protections must complement existing and much needed future regional and international agreements essential to effectively protecting all of these wanderers.
Enforced International Trade Controls: International trade controls under CITES for manta rays must be implemented and enforced to ensure trade doesn't threaten the survival of the species. Devil rays threatened by international trade should be considered for listing under CITES.
Drop In Demand: Reduced demand for gill rakers and other manta and devil ray products.
What You Can Do
- Snorkel or dive with mantas to support a valuable alternative to fishing.
- Choose locally owned operators who employ local staff.
- Make sure your guides follow procedures and local codes of conduct intended to protect mantas during viewing experiences.
- Be inspired by action taken at a community level.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents

|(xv) Additional evidence... >>
(xiii) Neglect of relevant information: the reports of Hermann Fegelein
1. Similar things may be said of Hermann Fegelein [1906-1945], who became Himmler's contact man to Hitler when Karl Wolff was named plenipotentiary to Italy. Fegelein married Eva Braun's sister and as her brother-in-law was a frequent guest at the Berghof. Hitler ordered him shot in the closing weeks of the war when he was caught in civilian clothes preparing to escape through the encroaching Russian lines around Berlin.
2. Fegelein was obviously, therefore, until the very last stages of the war, a member of Hitler's entourage. Did he too know nothing about the mass murder of Jews being carried out behind the Eastern front? On the contrary, as an SS cavalry commander in Himmler's personal Commando Staff of the RFSS [Kommandostab Reichsführer-SS], he actually took part in them.242 On the back of the Polish campaign the Commander of the Security Police [Kommandeur der Sicherheitspolizei und der SD] of Warsaw ordered the executions of numerous Jews and Poles in November 1939. Fegelein's 1st. SS cavalry division carried out a series of mass shootings in the following month. Polish sources date the commencement of the shootings on the 7 and 8 of December 1939 in the Kampinos forest near Palmiry outside Warsaw. According to the postwar West Berlin public prosecutor 'more than 1,700' people were shot. Fegelein's division also undertook executions in the Parliament Gardens in Warsaw itself.243
3. In the Russian offensive Fegelein led his 1st SS Cavalry Regiment in operations in Rear Central Army Group Area. His cavalry formation was involved in the liquidation of the 'bearers of the Jewish-Bolshevik system'; in other words the systematic murder of Jews and Communists euphemistically disguised as anti-partisan warfare.244 His regiment played a key role in the escalation process of September 1941 in the Army Area Middle [Heeresgebiet Mitte] as the army became increasingly involved in the murder of Jews and civilians.
4. Part of Fegelein's Cavalry regiment carried out a 'cleaning-up' operation ["Säuberungs"-Unternehmen] between the 27 July and 11 August 1941 in the area of the Pripjet marshes. Order number 42 of the SS-Cavalry Regiment, signed by Fegelein, plainly stated that 'Jews are mostly to be treated as plunderers' in the forthcoming 'final pacification' [endgültigen Befriedigung"] of the area. 245 Himmler gave this order greater precision when he instructed that 'All Jews must be shot, female Jews [Judenweiber] are to be driven into the marshes.'246 This order has an uncanny echo in Hitler's table talk of 25 October 1941 when he said 'Nobody can tell me: but we can't send them [the Jews] into the morass.'247 The action met with a positive resonance in the army. The head of the general staff of the Rear Central Army Group reported to the OKH on the 10 August:
The SS-Cavalry Brigade has essentially completed its cleaning-up operation between runway 1 and Pripjet. Those alien to the area, as well as Red Army members and Jewish commissars, were seized by the SS and mostly shot. With the insertion of mayors, the creation of a reserve police, and the oppression [sic] of the Jews the area could be considered pacified.248
5. What an 'oppression' of the Jews involved was made clear in the final report of the 1st SS Cavalry Brigade of 13 August. It reported a 'total' of '13,788 plunderers shot' at a cost to the Brigade of '2 dead, 15 wounded, thereof some seriously wounded'.249
6. Fegelein observed in a report dated 3 September 1941 that 'Jew-free' localities were often attacked by partisans and that it had been shown that 'above all Jews' served as intermediaries to the partisans.250 This echoes Hitler's selfsame thoughts on the Jews in Russia as recorded by Heim on 5 May 1942 'The banditry in Estonia and Lithuania has died down quite a lot. But one has to know when one does not eradicate the Jews then none of it is any use - the Jews are the contacts [Telephonstrippe].'251 Fegelein's report was marked with approving marginalia by army officials and the commander of Rear Army Group Middle ordered his security divisions to concentrate on the Jews in future, following the model laid down by Fegelein.252 Here was a later member of Hitler's entourage, therefore, who knew only too well what was going on behind the Eastern front, a context in which Irving refers to him as 'a young SS brigadier on the Eastern front?253
242. For a detailed account of this organisation and its operations alongside the Einsatzgruppen see Yehoshua Büchler, 'Kommandostab Reichsführer-SS: Himmler's Personal Murder Brigades in 1941 'in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, 1 (1986), pp. 11-25.

Die in diesem Gebiet befündlichen Ortsfremden sowie Rotarmisten und jüdischen Kommissare wurden von der SS gefaßt und zum größten Teil erschossen. Durch Einsatz von Bürgermeistern, Aufstellung von Hilfspolizei und Niederdrückung [sic] von Juden dürfte das Gebiet als befriedet angesehen werden [können]' (IfZ, MA 855, in Krausnik.).

SS-Kav.-Brigade und von Sonderkommandos der SS (Vienna, 1965), p. 214, in ibid. Büchler quotes a final report by Fegelein listing 15,878 dead and speculates whether this number partially overlapped with the shooting of 18,000 Jews in Pinsk and Bobruisk in which Fegelein's units took part (Büchler, p. 20).

Where to Wine & Dine: Bordeaux
Post by Chuck Hayward | May 1st, 2013
For anyone traveling to the wine regions of France, it's assumed (and rightly so), that an immersion into local cuisine should be part of the experience. After all, what is a trip to Burgundy without eating escargot or fine dining while visiting Champagne? So it goes without saying that a trip to Bordeaux will be incomplete unless you dip your toes into the local dining scene.
But the geography and the way business is conducted in Bordeaux conspire to make it difficult to indulge your appetite as thoroughly as your palate. And while the wines of Bordeaux resonate across the globe, the local cuisine has yet to achieve such recognition. A recent check through the latest Michelin Guide reveals far fewer starred establishments in Bordeaux than in Burgundy or Champagne.

Preliminary instructions serve the important function of orienting the jurors to the nature of the trial to come. It is helpful to explain at the very start the nature and scope of the jury's duty, some of the basic ground rules and the issues to be decided. Introductory remarks and instructions should be limited to basic legal principles that inform the jurors or prospective jurors of their responsibilities and obligations as jurors and that guide them in fulfilling those responsibilities and obligations. See State v. Faust, 237 Conn. 454, 460-61 (1996).
"A preinstruction . . . in the form of an indoctrination film, is permissible to provide preliminary instruction to prospective jurors." State v. Beall, 61 Conn. App. 430, 440, cert. denied, 255 Conn. 954 (2001).
The court should never provide "information to the jury regarding the consequences of a guilty verdict, or about the sentencing process." State v. Makee R., 306 Conn. 371, 384 (2012).
The court is required to instruct newly selected jurors on their responsibilities to avoid publicity about the case and any communication with others concerning the facts of the case. Kervick v. Silver Hills Hospital, 309 Conn. 688 (2013). See Supplemental Instruction for Selected Jurors and Alternates, Instruction 1.1-6.

Beverly/Lowell righty Kyler McElfresh delivers a pitch homeward during district tournament baseball action at Don Coss Field Wednesday. B/L dropped a 16-8 decision to Cambridge.
CAMBRIDGE - If you'd have told Beverly/Lowell Post 389/750 head coach Todd Engle that his club would score eight runs and pound out 12 hits against Cambridge Post 84 in the opening round of the district tournament Wednesday at Don Coss Field, he'd have felt pretty confident in his team's chances.
Unfortunately for Beverly/Lowell, 18 hits allowed and seven fielding errors led to 16 runs for Cambridge, putting Post 389/750 in the loser's bracket of the tourney. It will look to keep its season alive today against either St. Clairsville or Zanesville in an elimination game at 7:30 p.m. at Don Coss Field.
"We'll just try to build on the positives, the way we hit the ball," Engle said. "We've been in this position before, where we found ourselves in the loser's bracket and shown we can get out."

Next games: Beverly/Lowell vs. St. Clairsville/Zanesvile today at 7:30 p.m. at Don Coss Field in Cambridge; Cambridge vs. St. Clairsville/Zanesville today at 4 p.m. at Don Coss Field.
The game was knotted up at 1-1 going into the third inning. Zack Roe led off the top of third with a bunt base hit. Ryan Lovette followed with a sacrifice bunt, but an error allowed him to reach safely and Roe to advance on to third. Dillon Sunnafrank then cashed in with an RBI-single to right field to plate Roe before Matt Tom grounded into a fielder's choice that brought home Lovette to make it a 3-1 game.
Engle's squad had a big opportunity go by the wayside in the bottom of the fourth. After Gunnar Smith was hit by a pitch, Justin Greer doubled to right-center to put runners at second and third with one out. However, Cambridge starter Ben Standiford buckled down and recorded a strikeout and a lineout to center to escape unscathed.
After a quiet fourth inning for Beverly/Lowell, Cambridge began to pull away in the fifth.
With one away in the frame, Sunnafrank cranked a solo home run to left field to make it 4-1. Later in the inning, with two on and one out, back-to-back singles by James Luyster and Ben Van Wey plated a total of three runs to put Beverly/Lowell in a 7-1 hole.
Post 389/750 got two of those runs back in the bottom of the fifth. With the bases loaded and one out, Lance Schafer hit a fly ball deep enough to right field to drive in Devin Leister and send Ethan Estes to third. With two outs, Jake Ullman, who was on first, intentionally got into a rundown which allowed Estes to cross the plate before Ullman finally got tagged out to end the inning.
That's as close as it would get as Cambridge tallied nine total runs in the final three innings to put it away.
Beverly/Lowell's last hoorah came in the bottom of the eighth when Greer launched a homer over the fence and Estes struck for a two-run double, but it wasn't enough to get back into the contest.
"We ran into a more experienced team," Engle said. "We get behind like that at 7-1 and you just try to keep chipping away. We got two there to make it 7-3, but every time it seemed like they'd go out and get three to our two."
Evan Sawyer went 4.2 innings and gave up seven runs (four earned) to take the mound loss. Standiford threw 6.2 innings, striking out four and walking one to earn the victory.
"These kids have shown they can bounce back," Engle said.
"We've got Ben (Barnas) on the mound (today). It should be a good game. We're gonna have to do a little better than what we did (Wednesday)."

Now that Election Day has come and gone, Congress has a long road ahead of them between now and year-end to get our 2012 tax rates set and the paperwork to the IRS. But, regardless of what Congress does in the next few weeks, there are a few certainties set to take effect in January that are worth noting.While it's unsure whether the employee's tax rate will be 4.2 percent or 6.2 percent, the Social Security wage base is set to increase, and workers will need to pay Social Security tax on their first $113,700 of income. This is up from a wage base of $106,800 in 2011. In addition, a .9 percent Medicare surtax will be charged on all income above $200,000 for singles and $250,000 for couples. This is a brand new tax and while it's been somewhat publicized, I still anticipate a few people being surprised by the increase.For those receiving Social Security, the benefits will increase by 1.7 percent starting in 2013. This is much less than 2012's 3.6 percent cost of living adjustment, but better than 2011's flat rate. For those both working and collecting Social Security, if you are between 62 and 66, you'll be able to make up to $15,120 before you lose any benefits.For those focused on retirement savings, there's some good news on the horizon. Contributions to 401(k)s will increase from $17,000 to $17,500 for 2013. Those over age 50 can contribute another $5,500 as part of their catch-up provision to a maximum of $23,000. SIMPLE plan contributions will be limited to $12,000 with an additional catch-up contribution of $2,500. And, those with a Keogh or profit-sharing plans will see their contribution limit increase by $1,000 to $51,000.Traditional and Roth IRA's will see changes as well. The annual pay-in limit will increase to $5,500 for each IRA type, with those 50 years or older allowed to contribute another $1,000. Remember, these limits apply to your 2013 contributions, so be sure not to contribute these amounts for 2012 or you may find yourself faced with a penalty. IRA contributions can only be made if you are under certain income levels. For traditional IRA's, contributions phase out for incomes between $59,000 and $69,000 for individuals and $95,000 and $115,000 for couples. Roth IRA contributions phase out for incomes between $112,000 and $127,000 for individuals and $178,000 and $188,000 for couples. Because of these income limits, I always recommend that you complete your tax return before making your contributions if you are close to the income limits, but remember that the contributions are due by April 15th, not the extended deadline of a return.There are still dozens of deductions and tax rates to be hammered out by Congress, so it's too soon to tell what's coming in the future, but if you keep these rates and limits in mind, these are the ones pretty sure to be in place starting Jan. 1, 2013.Michele Knight, owner of Knight Accounting & Technology, is a CPA and QuickBooks ProAdvisor based in Dillon.

Dear SFR forum.
You guys and gals came out in full force and we totally appreciate that. I really am glad we have an online community that leaks over into offline events. I probably should have said that on stage but something about AS220 makes me talk a bunch of shit with a complete loss of focus. In retrospect it is quite clear that we wouldn't have had anyone standing in front of the stage and cheering us on if it weren't for the people on this forum showing support.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It was a lot of fun. Heart Failure was out of control. I love that song so much, and I'm so glad I got to see it live with both of you. I think this was the first time I've heard Bernard rap in person, that was really amazing.
I had a good time. I was completely exhausted by the time the show started, but now it's like 4am and I'm still buzzed.
Fun stuff.
And I got a shout out in Drop Bass. Life=Complete.

hearing drop bass was definitely a highlight, right up there with the one about slapping a bitch.
i'm really glad i got to hear b rap some more. that's something i've been eagerly waiting for. i was super out of it and tired though so it didn't all soak in like it should have, but if i weren't totally sold on bernard's rappy rap before, i would be now.

[quote="futuristxen"] I think this was the first time I've heard Bernard rap in person, that was really amazing.

Local homeowner Mary Beth Cross celebrates the release of her latest album, "Beyond Good and Evil," from 4-6 p.m. Sunday at Fourteen Seventy-Two Lowcountry Dining, 1472 S. Pearl St. in Denver.
Cross describes the album, which is inspired by "the spirit and grit of pioneer women," as "positive, uplifting and historical." It is influenced by early folk music of the 70s including Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, John Denver, Joan Baez and The Beatles.
The new release represents a progression from her previous album, "In My Right Mind," which showcased sounds from around the world, including African banjos, fiddles of Ireland and Scotland and "jazzy" French music, as she described it. Cello and banjo are the main elements of the new album, which features 2012 IDMA fiddle player of the year Stuart Duncan.
"Beyond Good and Evil" consists of original songs and covers. Covers include George and Ira Gershwin's "Our Love is Here to Stay," Douglas MacLean's "Caledonia," the African traditional song "I Don't Feel No Ways Tired" and Noel Brazil's "Babes in the Wood."
The opening song, "Babes in the Wood," plus "Kiss you Goodnight" and "Liza Jane" are fun, energetic country tunes, carried by Cross' sugar-sweet voice. The album offers a lot of variety, rounded out with mellow ballads like "Beyond Good and Evil" and "Feels Like Home." Cross also takes listeners on a journey to the Old West of mining towns, saloons, gun fights and brothels in songs including "Stories Never Told" and "Land of the Midnight Sun."
"'Beyond Good and Evil' highlights the fact that there is a love that watches over us, kind of carries us through all kinds of adversity," said Cross about the concept for the new album. "What's unique about my songwriting style is that I ... pull inspiration from (women of history)."
The singer-songwriter also takes her inspiration from the rural farmland and forests of Wisconsin where she grew up, and the Rocky Mountains, where she has a home.
The album was recorded in Nashville, Tenn. and features Stuart Duncan on fiddle, mandolin and banjo; Matthew Pierson on acoustic and electric bass; Mike Payne on acoustic, electric guitars and six-string banjo; Blair Masters on piano, organ, accordion and melodica; Ken Lewis on drums and percussion; Paul Nelson on cello; Michael Douchette on dobro; Gary Pigg on background vocals and Dave Bechtel as a special guest for Gershwin's cover.
