One of the more intriguing match ups in the playoffs this week comes in North Augusta as they square off with JL Mann. For eight years, Brian Strickland was offensive coordinator for the Yellow Jackets. This year he's now head coach of the Patriots.
Strickland obviously coached with Dan Pippin and pretty much ran the offense for North Augusta. Now, he'll be on the opposing sideline for the first time. Not an easy game for either guys seeing their best friends
"Brian and I have been talking back and forth all week and I'm not going to lie and say it's not difficult" said Dan Pippin "Our families are friends. Brian helped me out a lot when we came in and I don't think we'd be in the position we are without Brian."
I was actually joking with Strickland earlier in the week he may need directions to the locker room and opposing sidelines for Friday's game. This isn't the first time Pippin has taken on a former assistant Jeremy West at South Aiken is in the same boat.

A Rolla man was injured Friday when the vehicle he was driving crashed into a traffic light pole, overturned and caught fire on Highway 63 at Lanning Lane Friday around noon.
According to an incident report from the Rolla Police Department, Karl Roy Gabel, 51, was driving a 2009 Chevrolet HHR southbound in the 1000 block of South Highway 63 near the intersection of Lanning Lane.
The vehicle left the road and struck a curb. The vehicle continued southbound and struck a concrete island before striking a traffic light pole at the intersection.
The RPD states that the vehicle sustained heavy damage and was towed from the scene.
Gabel was transported to Phelps County Regional Medical Center for treatment.
Ambyr Davis, who works at the Southwestern Hearing Center location at Highway 63 and Lanning Lane, told the Daily News that she witnessed the crash.
She said she saw the vehicle going fast southbound on Highway 63 through a red light and then she said she believes the driver hit the brakes.
She said the car then went airborne and hit the traffic light pole before overturning. Davis said she saw smoke and flame coming from the driver's side of the vehicle. Rolla firefighters were seen spraying down the car at the scene.
Davis said she called 911 to report the crash and helped pull the driver out of the vehicle.
"He was non-responsive so I cleared his airways," Davis said, adding that he had abrasions, facial bleeding and lacerations to his nose.
"I think I was just at the right place at the right time," Davis said, noting that emergency responders arrived at the scene within about five minutes.
The police were assisted by City of Rolla Fire and Rescue, Phelps County EMS and the Phelps County Sheriff's Department.
Rolla police officers handled traffic control and southbound traffic had to be diverted around the scene.

A Conversation on Criticism, Science Fiction, and Other Stuff
Part 1 of the conversation has now been posted.
It feels very strange to have such naked yakking out there for the world to see, and I hope people will forgive my contradictions, misrepresentations of other people's ideas, generalities, unsupported opinions, ignorances, insults, etc. Perhaps somewhere in it all, there's something useful. Until the last one or two emails, it really was just us throwing ideas around.

I really enjoyed the article, probably because it's the kind of conversation I've heard in my head for a while now. This:ReplyDelete
These days I mostly believe that SF is not a style of writing, but a publishing community, and that nothing done new in the SF world must remain SF anymore -- anything that is new is going to be able to be presented under the guise of "fiction" or "literature" now because the forces that led to the creation of something called science fiction in the U.S. have changed. Readers' relationships to both technology and to texts have changed. This doesn't mean SF will disappear, but rather that it will do what it's been doing for a while now, which is reiterate the structures of the past and feel more and more quaint, while things that could, in fact, be termed science fictional will be bought, sold, and read as something else. The only people who have a problem with this are people who both want their lit to be new and different and who still want to attend science fiction conventions.
is probably the most concise summary of the whole genre/slipstream/literary fiction mess that I've yet read.
In case you haven't yet seen it: Some discussion over at the Vector blog, though so far it mostly consists of Niall and Graham arguing terms with Adam Roberts.ReplyDelete
David: And snark. Don't forget the snark.ReplyDelete
Goes without saying!ReplyDelete
I'll gladly leave the Endless Quest book of critical discussions to those with British accents, but when is someone going to bring up that Analog was so named because of that other definition it must suffer with. You know, "having the property of being analogous to something else."ReplyDelete
I suppose I'm being unnecessarily literal (and THAT clearly never happens in THIS field) but the analog/digital joke just lacks that knee-slapping punch for me. Though I guess a guy in 1960 SHOULD HAVE SEEN DIGITAL COMING, right?
Innovation doesn't generally take place at the level of story, which is one reason why SF is seldom innovative anymore -- it's too wedded to the need to tell certain types of stories. No big deal; innovation can come from elsewhere.ReplyDelete
Do you have any idea where the inovation can be found nowadays? Either empirically or potentially? And according to your impression at what point SF stopped being a locus of innovation?

(Boston Revised 05/20/11) New England Law | Boston: Cassandra Feeney '11 is this year's New England Law | Boston winner of the Association of Corporate Counsel, Northeast Chapter, award for the ethical practice of law. The award program celebrates area law school students who have demonstrated an early commitment to ethics through their work in a clinical program representing their first real clients.
The award, which includes a $1,000 scholarship, was presented on April 21, 2011, at the seventh annual Law Student Ethics Awards Dinner, a Boston function attended by prominent judges; faculty from participating schools; presidents of other local bar associations; and general counsel of major companies. The keynote presentation was made by Hon. William G. Young, U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
"Ms. Feeney has exemplified excellence and professionalism at every turn," commented Professor Russell Engler, director of the Public Service Project of the school's Center for Law and Social Responsibility, which nominated Feeney.
Feeney's volunteer work with the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office earned her the law school's Public Service Transcript Notation. Her externship work in Suffolk County Superior Court merited an evaluation so stellar that she was designated the best New England Law student who had worked with that particular Superior Court justice.
"She is at the top of her class academically and the executive comment and note editor of the New England Law Review," Engler noted. "Not surprisingly, with this academic record, she was selected as one of two students by the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Massachusetts, for a Civil Division internship this spring through New England Law's Federal Courts Clinic."
"This combination of perspective and experience can only be experienced through the clinical programs," said Ms. Feeney. "Overall, the clinic programs have provided me with the confidence and practical skills required to practice law, which is something that I could have not achieved through classroom learning alone. I would encourage students to participate in as many clinic programs as possible."

A McLaren of Psychedelic Proportions
Today I treat you to a blog post for the eyes.
The 2013 McLaren MP4-12C uses a 3.8-liter twin-turb0 V8 to produce 616-hp, good for 0-60 sprints of 3 seconds and a top speed somewhere north of 200-mph. It's an engineering marvel to be sure, but some say it's also a supercar without emotion. At least compared with its nemesis, the Ferrari 458 Italia.
How can some real feeling be injected into a car that might be compared with the nerdy-type competing in a bikini contest? Well, you have to make her look the part, obviously.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1994 Spring Tour."
Before I got into Phish (or even knew who the hell they were) a friend and I would drive around, smoke dope, listening now and then to If I Could and Sample in a Jar (I know, how cliché). Once I had matured, saw Phish live, in concert, and realized that there were recordings of EVERY SHOW (WTF?!), for some reason (maybe sentimental?) I wanted a copy of the first If I Could ever played.
At this point (fall 1996) I had collected all of the commercial releases, so I was familiar with a number of songs that were strewn throughout both sets.
My digital copy of this show starts abruptly in the middle of Hometown my analog copy did not so much for technology making everything better. The band, clearly fired up to be back on the road again after a 7 months off (sans NYE '93) tears through Divided Sky with a soaring grace. Treys playing is particularly inspired during the post silence composition. Divided Sky is certainly a standard type of song, but this one is bursting at the seams with excitement. Please keep in mind that Im not one to typically go ga-ga over Divided Sky, but this being the initial post/show on this journey, I feel it necessary to expand upon the fantastic playing by the band here. What a great way to start things off.
The world debut of Scent of a Mule is a wholly standard affair with what may be the shortest duel on record. Strangely enough, one would expect a lot of debuts during this show, what with the new album with all new material, out. Coincidentally, (spoiler alert) this first set only contains one new song.
The energy from Divided is carried over in the Page-led portion of Maze. I can see him rising to his feet to dig deep into the last few measures prior to transition to the Trey-led portion. Good stuff here. There is absolutely nothing patient at all about this version of Maze. Much like a sports team looking to set a tone early, coming out of the gate in April 1994 Phish has made the declaration that yes we look like four dorks, but we are not going to waste time getting around to whipping your ass.
Alas, Maze isnt really anything special, but (as we will continue to discover as we expand upon this tour) it wasnt always about the jam at this point in their career. The emphasis was often placed on the quality of songs and not excessive Type II explorations in this era. Fear not, they had dipped a toe into that pool in throughout (and, especially, August) 1993 and would go back there as they rounded back into the swing of things in Spring 1994.
If 2003 Phish is your thing, these likely will not be the most improvisationally stimulating shows you have ever heard actually if you have two functioning ears, you will come to that conclusion. This journey is more about perspective than it is about comparing one era to another (even though Im certain there will be plenty of the latter in future writings maybe even in the next paragraph [spoiler alert]).
Reba is one of my favorite Phish songs. Renditions since 1998 (imo), have fallen on hard times. I literally cannot name a single version since 12-30-98 that I would consider worthy of consideration as great (see, I told you). Anyway, this Reba contains a very unique jam segment. Slightly reminiscent of Itsy Bitsy Spider, turns out its actually A Hunting We Will Go (those familiar with the best character in The Wire know this song very well). Trey starts the theme and Mike then Page pick up on it almost immediately. They briefly drift back into Reba before some stop-start staccato work from Trey leads into this heavy-metalesque ass-whipping jam FUCK YES. Fish completely shits on the transition from this glorious piece back into Reba proper, but it was still worth the effort.
They atone nicely and pull together a wholly standard teary-eyed glorious finish to the Reba jam. Yes, that is an oxymoron but even the most mundane of these mid-90s versions will lead me to express my emotion via employing jammy guitar face and maybe (though unlikely) even an actual a tear or two. There is whistling even excessive whistling in addition to the usual lyrics found in the coda (which Im sure put a smile on Pauls face).
The band declares (maybe prematurely, here) that 1994 will mark a time in which Its Ice will go out. This version isnt overly experimental, but the seeds have been sown just wait a couple of days. There is a heavy Page/Mike interplay (which the whole band eventually delves into) on a recognizable theme prior to the return to Ice. I am not sure what that is, but it does sound familiar.
Possum is not one of my favorite Phish songs, so I often dont pay much attention to it. If you like Possum, you will probably enjoy this version it is standard (as almost every single one of them ever, are), but is a fun way to end an entertaining set.
The (actual) debut of Down with Disease is a playful romp. I have a fond place in my heart for these early versions of Disease. The band has a relative amount of fun with it and the potential for jamming is there, but they clearly havent even begun to scratch the surface. Trey continues to deliver in this jam with a (as would become typical) soaring solo right before the reprise.
There is a Hoistly transition into If I Could i.e., the reason I acquired this show to begin with. I was not disappointed AT ALL with this. The 4-4-94 If I Could jam was, is and always will be one of my favorite pieces in the Phish repertoire. Yes, I realize that it is standard and doesnt deviate much from the many versions that will follow in the coming months. NEVERTHELESS, I have gotten more people into Phish by playing this segment of music than any other. I love it.
From here on out, the Giant Country Horns join and making the remainder of this show fun. The horns add as much as they detract (the jams are worse, but the songs are better, IMO). For example, Split Open and Melt just never gets there. On the opposite end of the spectrum are The Landlady (one of the last versions ever of a song that was a staple from 1990-1993) and Suzy Greenberg with horns. Fantastic stuff.
The debuts of Julius and Wolfmans Brother are also thrown into the second set and are accompanied well by the horns (as they are on Hoist). The latter includes a nice little sped up jam that is (you guessed it) emphasized by the horns quite well. Certainly nothing to seek out, but it is a nice touch.
I Wanna Be Like You is among my least favorite Fishman songs (and thats saying something, because I dont really like any of them I know, I know), so, while entertaining, it falls flat and is subsequently dropped from the repertoire in June.
Prior to the encore Trey informs the audience that the NCAA Basketball Championship between Duke and Arkansas is currently tied at 70 with a minute remaining and that they would be dropping a large screen TV behind the band to enjoy the final minute of play. Little things like this make me love this band even more than I already did (if thats possible). Trey then talks about how excited he and the band are to be back on the road after the lengthy break.
The Hood that follows is standard fucking-sublimely-fucking gorgeous 1994 fare. Along with Slave and Reba, even the most average rendition of Harry Hood can take me **there**. This is one that I would consider average to above-average a 3.5 out of 5. Again (as I mentioned when talking about Maze earlier), they dont really dwell in the more serene areas that a Hood jam can lurk in, instead quickly pulsing forward to higher-energy playing as if they cannot control themselves from going there no complaints.
Following the classic You can FEEL GOOD ending, Trey: very happy to announce: Duke 72, Arkansas ..76. Evidently Razorback fan was out in full force this evening at The Flynn or maybe everyone just hates Duke.
Cavern contains the alternate lyric about the brothel wife cutting the narrator on the tongue when suddenly he/she turns back on the "bitch" and drops her in the dung. What, no nipple slicing? Nice touch.
Good/solid way to open the tour.
3 stars.
Worth hearing: Divided, Reba, Its Ice, If I Could, Landlady, Suzy, Hood.

ALBANY -- The Salesian High girls basketball team wants to accomplish much more this season, but checked one goal off its list after a 62-51 victory over St. Mary's on Saturday at Albany High.
Behind Mariya Moore's 28 points and 17 rebounds, the Pride completed a regular season sweep over its biggest rival to clinch the Tri-County Athletic League-Rock Division championship -- its first outright league title in program history.
"It's a really big deal," said Moore, one of three recently-named McDonald's All-Americans in the game, along with St. Mary's Mikayla Cowling and Gabby Green. "We came in working for this, so it feels so great... But there are so many more (titles) we want, so we just have to keep working."
Neither team led by more than three points in the first half which featured 12 lead changes and five ties. But when St. Mary's lost three starters after halftime -- including Green -- Salesian (20-5, 10-0 TCAL) began to take control.
Green, a Cal-bound guard, suffered a shoulder injury, according to St. Mary's coach Nate Fripp. She didn't come out of the locker room for the second half.
St. Mary's (20-6, 8-2 TCAL) also lost starting forward Cailyn Callender to an ankle injury and point guard Zavanna Negron, who fouled out with 2:13 to play in the third quarter.
Despite the adversity, St. Mary's didn't fade until the very end. A quick 7-0 run got the Panthers within 52-47 with 3:52 left before Salesian pulled away for good.
"I thought for a little patch we weren't so aggressive but for most of the game we played very aggressive," Salesian coach Steve Pezzola said. "We call it 'Salesian basketball' -- be aggressive and go after it."
Vastly different performances at the free throw line also affected the outcome. Salesian made 27 of 32 foul shots with Moore going 11 of 12, while St. Mary's was 11 of 25 overall.
"I thought we played hard and battled," Fripp said. "But the better team won today."
Cowling led St. Mary's with 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists, and Ma'Ane Mosley added 15 points and eight rebounds off the bench.
Green finished with four points and six rebounds in the first half, when she also took an elbow to the face.
Salesian and St. Mary's could see each other three more times this season in playoff matchups, and Moore hopes it's with Green back on the court.
"I want to do it when they have a full team and are at full power," Moore said. "The win still feels great, but would feel even better if we beat them at their best."

South Tahoe Middle School student Rodolfo Rosas lifted his gloves and faced off against his classmate Jesus Moreno at Escobar Training Grounds Monday. Rosas wants to become a professional MMA --or mixed martial arts --fighter, and Monday was part of a workshop that's given him his first glimpse of that goal.
But the six-week program, called Fight for What's Right, that offers free classes to STMS students isn't about training young martial arts fighters.
"We thought we could really help out some of the kids who need mentorship and positive guidance. Everyone seems to really enjoy it and they're getting the grasp of really hard work," Cory Escobar, owner and manager of the South Lake Tahoe training facility, said.
Escobar launched the program five weeks ago after STMS Principal Beth Delacour applied for a $1,920 grant from the El Dorado Community Foundation. Delacour wanted a keep her students off the streets after school, so when Escobar approached her and said he wanted to give back to the community, she saw the perfect partnership.
Delacour listened to teacher input and chose 20 students otherwise unconnected with after-school activities to participate in the workshop. Another group will start a new six-week program in the spring.
"It was 'let's find things that engage them and make them want to come back to school.' As we go through the year we'll evaluate it and see if it's productive for the kids," Delacour said.
Since the program started, the group of middle school students has undergone a big transformation. Most of the children didn't have any previous martial arts experience, so teaching them the basics was a challenge, South Lake Tahoe MMA fighter Corey Carlson said.
By the final week of the program, Carlson said the students really grasped the exercise, the training and what it means to respect others. One student in particular would roll his eyes when he was asked to call Escobar and Carlson "sir." About a month later the same student hurried up unbidden to his mentor at the grocery store with a smile on his face and a warm greeting.
"I know you guys have fun because you keep coming back. And some of you are trying really hard," Carlson said to his class Monday.
Carlson paired up with one of the students during Monday's practice, encouraging him to move quickly and throw punches faster rather than harder. Carlson, who's face appears on multiple posters around town advertising this weekend's upcoming MMA fight, is a good role model for the children.
"I think for the kids to see a tough guy be really humble and respectful, it's good for them," Escobar said.
According to Escobar, martial arts offers a unique opportunity to impart powerful, life lessons on its students. The tradition of combat practices is based on a foundation that combines physical, mental and spiritual development.
"If you're going to make martial arts work, then you need four basic principles --respect, discipline, focus and hard work," Escobar said.
Teen court training to take place in January
The El Dorado County teen court programs in Placerville and South Lake Tahoe will hold a training for new student volunteers and all student attorneys this month. South Lake Tahoe's training will take place on Thursday, Jan. 17 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the El Dorado Superior Court House located at 1354 Johnson Blvd., Dept. 4, South Lake Tahoe. Upon completion of the mandatory training, teens will serve as court personnel for real cases in which a minor has committed an offense.
LTCC CONNECT offers winter children's workshops
Lake Tahoe Community College's CONNECT program is offering several programs for children this season.

County supervisor announces plans for retirement
El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Vicki Barber announced plans to retire from her position effective June 30, 2013. Barber was first elected in 1994 and was re-elected to four additional terms. She will conclude 19 years as county superintendent in June. The County Board of Education has requested that Deputy Superintendent Jeremy Meyers serve as the superintendent effective July 1 through 2014.

Chris Brown quit, then rejoined, Twitter, after having a nasty exchange Sunday night with comedian Jenny Johnson.
The vitriolic spat started when Johnson responded to Brown's tweet of "I look old as (expletive)! I'm only 23..." by tweeting "Being a worthless piece of (expletive) can really age a person."
It pretty much went downhill from there.
"I have zero respect for a person who seems unapologetic for the terrible crime he committed and shows no signs of changing," Johnson later added. She also shared a link to an MTV story that detailed Brown's February 2009 assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna, with whom he has since reconciled. (In fact, Rihanna, herself an avid tweeter, posted a shirtless photo of Brown, apparently in her bed, the night before, according to The Huffington Post.)
Brown didn't have much to say about the conversation until a few hours after it seemingly ended, when he tweeted "Just ask Rihanna if she mad?" and followed up with a line about how society was immature. He then deleted his Twitter account altogether, though he rejoined Monday afternoon.
Right ... dumb society, all expecting men not to beat women bloody for looking at their phones without permission. That's just so immature and stuff.
This isn't the first time Brown, who was listed as having 11.5 million followers on the social media network, has done away with his Twitter account. The singer quit Twitter in 2009 and again in November 2011, after ranting about -- you guessed it -- the Rihanna incident.
"I don't say (expletive) to anybody and everyone feels its cool to attack me. GROWN ADULTS!!!! that (expletive) happened three years ago!" he wrote at the time.

Now that the prep football season is past the halfway point, fans of the sport can get at least somewhat of a gauge as to how things are looking for their favorite area gridiron program.
One of the most interesting things to watch each year is how the ratings points play out every week, especially in the Class A ranks.
Veteran Williamstown head coach Terry Smith's Yellowjackets are in an unusual position and came in at No. 20 in this week's ratings.
After falling at home to St. Marys last week, the good news for WHS fans is the 3-3 'Jackets still have plenty of opportunities to earn more than enough points during the final four games to make the playoff field with ease. More than likely, a 6-4 record should put the Class A state runner-up from 2011 back into the dance.
Obviously, the goal of any team is to reach the top 16 and make the state playoffs and whenever possible try to finish in the top eight to secure at least one home contest in the postseason.
Looking at things in terms of Mid-Ohio Valley teams, the biggest contest on Friday night will see No. 8 Wirt County heading to No. 12 Buffalo in a showdown of 4-1 programs.
Much like Williamstown, it appears the Tigers from Elizabeth probably can make the postseason with a 6-4 record, but a victory versus the Bison on the road would be a big boost for head coach Jason Hickman's program.
No matter what happens to Wirt County on Friday, the orange and black can't worry much about the outcome for too long as the Tigers will hit the road the following week and make the trek to Williamstown.
With the probability that St. Marys has no more than one or two potential losses left on its schedule, the Blue Devils - currently tied with Wirt County at No. 8 with a 7.20 rating - hold their own destiny in terms of being the Class A Little Kanawha Conference champion.
That's taking into account the fact Wirt County doesn't run the table and finish 9-1. If both the Tigers and St. Marys win out, which is possible on paper, those two LKC squads are going to have a nice final rating.
Although it's true most everything at the moment is plain conjecture, things are beginning to line up and folks can at least have a pretty good idea of how things might play out in the not too distant future.
The biggest game in Class A this week, without a doubt, is No. 1 Tucker County (6-0) playing host to No. 6 and fellow unbeaten East Hardy (5-0).
The victor of this game is likely to finish unbeaten, although East Hardy still has to travel to Moorefield next week.
Of course, Moorefield is the only team to beat Wirt County and the only way for the Yellowjackets (No. 19, 3-3) to make the playoffs is to likely beat EHHS and then finish the year with what would be a five-game winning streak.

Zombies make everything better. They really do. Even Japanese politics.
Spotted at the recent Wonder Festival figure event, here is a collection of "Zombie Politician Busts." The small statues are of Japanese political bigwigs, former PMs Yukio Hatoyama and Naoto Kan, power broker Ichiro Ozawa, and politician Azuma Koshiishi.
The busts are an interesting commentary on the Japanese political system, which often seems to lumber along like a zombie.
Japan has been going through Prime Ministers like tissues. That might explain why the newly elected Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was previously elected in 2006 as Prime Minister and why the Deputy Prime Minster Taro Aso was, wait for it, previously also Japan's Prime Minister. The country is running out of politicians!

CS21B: advanced programming and larger scale. This is where we really take advantage of the things we can do with Java, so we cover things like object-oriented design, class diagrams, interaction diagrams, more advanced user interfaces like event handling and listener-based interfaces, files, threads, networking, data structures. We recommend covering numbering systems in CS21A. CS21B has been working out nicely because in the end they are forced to write a multiplayer network game that is graphical and multithreaded, which is pretty advanced for a first year course. People manage to get somewhere near that. Shortcoming of CS21B right now is that not everyone gets to that point, so we actually have to be somewhat lenient with them. There has to be some work done there in order to strengthen their grasp on the subject. How do we teach it so that they have a stronger grasp?
Wishlist: plan right now for 21A and B is good. Depth lacking. Need more understanding after the whole thing. Somehow they're not grasping it well. Definitely, 21A should be stronger. They should leave 21A with a strong understanding of how objects work. We're spending too much time on event handling and user interfaces. Design patterns?
DocV: Suggestion, more problem solving?
CS110: Powerpoint presentation. Hash tables? Depends on the teacher. Recursion - discrete math. Maybe recursion should go back into CS21. We spend two weeks on algorithm analysis, way more than 3 hours recommended. Strategies embedded. We covered everything but topological sort. Graph traversals implicitly teach recursion. overlap discrete math, data structures. Goodrich and Tamassia emphasis on Java. Introduce some design patterns. Return DS as a requirement for MIS majors, practical issue because of tests. Introduce a separate algorithms for CS majors. CLR? cs131?
The 150 we're implementing: CPU - very extensive. 6 - 7 weeks. Microprogramming, amdahl's, pipelining Memory management I/O Networks
Why does the computer use 1s and 0s?
Concept of digital electronics in CS21?
Problem in 150: pacing so that the departmental exams are uniform.
A CS major might not get the breadth exposure. 8 hour a week thing in 152 should be able to cover it.
Additional networks course for MIS, required?:
Issue: Iterative OS for CS, net-centric OS for MIS

About the Book
By night, Brian Johnson sings in the biggest rock 'n' roll band on the planet. But by day, AC/DC's frontman drives balls to the wall. Cars and rock 'n' roll—they were made for each other.
When he was a young boy growing up in a working-class English town, Brian developed what would become a lifelong passion for cars, trolling junkyards and even pretending to drive the family car. From there, he steamed up the windows of his old Mini Cooper as a teenager, spent untold time in hygienically challenged tour buses with helpful signs such as No Shitting Allowed. Shagging Expected, was chauffeured in leather-trimmed limos, and raced cars to a checkered flag. Featuring guest stars Cliff Williams, Malcolm and Angus Young, and many, many others, even Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rockers and Rollers is a tribute to Brian's obsession with four wheels. By turns surprising, poignant, funny, and maybe a little bit bawdy, these are the stories of a man who drives as hard as he rocks.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"It's surprisingly refreshing that Johnson's lively memoir basically has little to do with writing about life with AC/DC--it's really all about cars." — Publishers Weekly

EDI Billing and EFT Payment Powerful billing and payment options for your business
Managing your energy budget can be a challenge at times. Duke Energys expanded electronic billing and payment options with Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) now offer greater flexibility and freedom to help your business simplify operations.
What is EDI?
EDI is the electronic exchange of business documents in a standardized format between business computer systems. Many companies are capable of EDI and use this option as a cost-effective way to exchange data and manage invoicing. EDI is designed and most effective for customers who have multiple accounts.
Key Benefits for Your Business
EDI offers several benefits by automating the billing and payment process with a secure electronic file exchange between your business and Duke Energy.
- Streamline your bill review, analysis and payment processes
- Reduce/eliminate data entry errors and increase productivity
- Integrate consumption data into an energy management system
- Increase speed and accuracy of information exchanged between companies
How Duke Energy EDI Works
EDI-820/Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is the preferred method of payment for EDI Billing.
Receive Bills Electronically with EDI Billing
Duke Energys billing information is converted to a standard format set by the ASC X 12 Finance Subcommittee. The service then allows Duke Energy to send billing information electronically to your business over a selected Value Added Network (VAN) to your companys mailbox. VANs are third-party service providers that permit different business partners to communicate through a central clearing house.
Using the EDI translation software, you can automatically retrieve and process bills through your internal systems as well as send consumption data to an energy management system. Because Duke Energy transmits your bill via EDI on the same day that your bill would typically be prepared, you have the information immediately.
If you have questions or if you are interested in receiving your bills electronically using EDI please contact email@example.com.
Read the EDI 810 Billing Guidelines
Pay Bills Electronically with Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
To completely automate the process, make payments by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) directly from your bank or financial institution. EFT is secure, efficient, and less expensive than paper payment methods.
Please direct any questions or comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Read the EDI 820 Payments Guidelines
To obtain the Duke Energy Chase bank account numbers send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Duke Energy uses four bank accounts to accept payments. Payments must be submitted by jurisdiction which means payments for Carolinas accounts cannot be mixed with payments for Indiana accounts, payments for Indiana accounts cannot be in a payment file for Ohio accounts, etc.
Jurisdictions are listed below Duke Energy Utility Accounts cannot be mixed within these files. A separate file should be created for each jurisdiction:
Duke Energy Carolinas North Carolina and South Carolina
Duke Energy Indiana Indiana
Duke Energy Kentucky Kentucky
Duke Energy Ohio Ohio
Make EDI Work for Your Business
EDI may be the right solution for your business or organization if you:
- Use an automated energy management system to reduce costs and improve energy efficiency
- Have enough utility accounts to require dedicated labor resources for billing and payment processing
- Have the programming knowledge expertise in your company to set up EDI interface
Frequently Asked Questions

My business is already using EDI. How do I set up EDI Billing with Duke Energy?
Contact Duke Energy at 1-800-774-1202 to enroll.
Can I use EDI Billing if Im currently on the Summary Billing program?
No, customers are not eligible to participate in both Summary Billing and EDI Billing at the same time.
What payment methods are available if I use EDI Billing?
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is the preferred method of payment for EDI Billing. Using Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) directly from your bank or financial institution allows you to control when funds are sent.
What do I need to do to get EDI Billing?
If your organization does not already have EDI capability, you will need to purchase and install EDI translation software. You may also choose to use a third party EDI provider. Contact Duke Energy at 1-800-774-1202 for more information. Setting up EDI usually takes about four to six weeks after your initial EDI set-up information is received.

I've been going through the Shootorials for Actionscript 3 and am stuck on how to integrate a start screen. I've looked at the source code from the #8 shootorial and just can't put two and two together about how to do it. I've also scoured the internet trying to find help but I definitely started to realize most other ways of adding a start screen don't mesh with how the shootorial sets things up.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction with adding a start screen? All I want it to do is just be an initial point that you can click through to get to the actual game.

I couldn't even make her wait to open the box until Christmas. You made her day and mine! The first words she said was "MMMMM" so I took that as a " they were GOOD! "
This cookie in dark chocolate is my absolute favorite Christmas cookie. I have turned on so many people to it that sadly my local World Market inevitably runs out before I can get to the store to purchase more. This year, I ordered online. Went back to order more after Christmas but no longer available! Looking forward to next Christmas already to enjoy once again this fabulously delicious cookie - what I think Christmas tastes like!

August 11, 2006
What started out as a verbal spat quickly escalated Thursday morning, leaving one man behind bars and the other fearing for his job.
And it all happened behind school walls.
Two men, each pointing a gun at the other.
One was a public safety officer who says he did nothing wrong.
Only on 12, his stepdad speaks out in his defense.
The school year at Murphey Middle has started out with a bang.
Custodian Frank Franklin was arrested Thursday for threatening a public safety officer with a BB gun.
That officer, Rolph Cramer, was notified today he too could be punished.
Stepdad James Hobbs says something's not right--that Cramer was told this morning he could be suspended for horseplay.
"The officer that made the arrest is basically having disciplinary action taken against him for making the arrest," Hobbs says.
Cramer admits that when Franklin made fun of his bald head, he responded with, "It looks like you swallowed a Volkswagen."
It's then that the custodian allegedly aimed a weapon at him...one Cramer thought was a 9 millimeter handgun.
Cramer, a Richmond County sheriff's deputy for nine years, reacted immediately by pulling out his gun.
"And no one asked his side of the story, what happened or anything," says Hobbs. "It was all based on statements made by the defendant."
The Richmond County school administration would not comment on the investigation, nor would they give the status of either man's job.
Cramer, a father and Medal of Honor recipient, refuses to lose his job over this.
His stepdad gives this advice: "Fight it like hell. And that, I expect him to do."
Cramer does plan on going into work Monday morning, but he's not sure what will happen after that.
If he is suspended or put on strict probation, his stepdad says he will be contacting attorneys.

MARIETTA - For those wanting to help bring a ho ho ho of Christmas cheer to families in Marietta, Washington County and destinations around the globe this holiday season, there are several opportunities for giving available.
Washington-Morgan Community Action's Secret Santa program is looking for sponsors and donors to sponsor a child/children from newborn to age 12 or to make toy or cash donations for children in that age group.
"We always have more need than we have money to provide," said Catherine Rees, program coordinator.
Those sponsoring a child receive a wish list with three items and clothing sizes.
"You can go out shopping for that child, and we'll distribute (the items) to our families," Rees said.
It typically costs $75 to $100 to sponsor one child, she added.
Fact Box
Where to Donate
* Washington-Morgan Community Action Secret Santa-Accepting child sponsors, monetary donations and new or gently used toys through Dec. 10; call (740) 373-3745. Checks can be made out to Secret Santa Program and mailed to Community Action at 218 Putnam St., Marietta OH 45750.
* American Legion Auxiliary Unit 389 Toys for Children-Nonperishable food and gifts (no stuffed animals please) for families in the Beverly-Waterford area can be donated at Beverly Citizens Bank, Waterford Commercial & Savings Bank, Beverly-Center and Waterford elementary schools, Appletree Assisted Living and the Beverly village office. For information, (740) 984-2960.
* WMOA's Christmas Zoo cash and stuffed animal drive-Stuffed animals donations can be dropped off at The Workingman's Store on Putnam Street in Marietta during normal business hours until Dec. 21. Monetary donations can be sent to Marietta Community Foundation, P.O. Box 77, Marietta, care of WMOA Christmas Zoo Fund or dropped off at the foundation's office on the corner of Front and Putnam streets.
* Operation Christmas Child (OCC)-Fill a shoe box with school supplies, toys, necessity items and a note of encouragement for a suffering child overseas and take it to a Washington County collection site Nov. 12 to 19. To find a location, visit www.samaritanspurse.org/occ.
* Salvation Army-Area residents can help sponsor a child for the group's annual Angel Tree program, or donate to its 2012 Red Kettle campaign to help provide gifts and food for families.
"It could be less or it could be more."
If a cash donation to sponsor a child is made, Secret Santa program's shopping coordinator Wendy Ketelsen and volunteers do all the necessary shopping.
"We are happy to have cash donations of any amount," Rees said.
Donated items should be unspecified new unwrapped toys.
To sponsor a child or make toy or cash donations, call Washington-Morgan Community Action at (740) 373-3745.
The program, which has been operating for 17 years, served 898 children of disadvantaged Washington County families in 2011.
In the Beverly-Waterford area, applications are being taken until Nov. 21 for the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 385's Toys for Children program, said Arlene Pennock, the program's communication and finance coordinator.
The program provides gifts and food boxes for families in the Beverly-Waterford area. The group is trying to purchase two gifts for each child it's helping, along with gently used toys (no stuffed animals) and games donated by the community, said Pennock.
"Last year, we had 106 children that we provided gifts for," she said. "I would guess it might be more this year because of the way the economy is."
The program is limited to those attending Beverly-Center and Waterford elementary schools or living in the school district. Program applications can be picked up at the offices at the two schools, and must be returned to the school offices.
Children can be up to age 18, as long as they are attending school.
"We don't turn down anybody that qualifies. We find a way to get them taken care of," Pennock said.
For information about the unit's Toys for Children program, call (740) 984-2960.
The 22nd season of WMOA Radio's Christmas Zoo cash and stuffed animal drive will begin Nov. 23 in the window of The Workingman's Store on Putnam Street in Marietta.
WMOA radio personality Kyle Wenzel and other on-air talent will promote the drive as they broadcast from the store's window.
"We make an effort to have somebody there seven days a week starting the Friday after Thanksgiving," said Wenzel.
"It's all about helping needy children in the area. ...We make a special effort to make sure that everything we collect stays local in Marietta and Washington County," he added.
The Christmas Zoo drive has collected and donated more than 18,000 stuffed animals since its beginning in 1990, according to John Wharff, station owner.
Stuffed animals donations can be dropped off at The Workingman's Store during normal business hours until Dec. 21.
Monetary donations can be sent to Marietta Community Foundation, P.O. Box 77, Marietta, care of WMOA Christmas Zoo Fund or dropped off at the foundation's office on the corner of Front and Putnam streets.
Those wanting to impact a child's life with the simple shoe box gifts sent all over the world by Operation Christmas Child (OCC) can donate a shoe box filled with school supplies, toys, necessity items and an encouraging note to one of the collection centers that will be open around the county Nov. 12-19.
The gifts are sent to a child overseas suffering due to disaster, disease, war, terrorism, famine or poverty, according to the OCC organization.
Once OCC's local collection drive is finished, the filled shoe boxes are sent to collection centers in North Carolina, and shipped to far flung global destinations.
"Some are delivered by hand or by goats or camels," said Robin Johnson, community relations coordinator for a seven-county area that includes Washington County.
"They don't all arrive magically on Christmas morning. They're delivered to very remote locations," Johnson added.

Worried that you might not actually know the words to the original "99 Problems," Rush Limbaugh would like to recite them for you. The original lyric, mind you, was indeed "bitch" before Jay-Z changed it to "Mitt" for an Obama rally. Rush would also like to remind you that Jay-Z uses the word "hoes." And also probably "hood."
OK, got it? Carry on.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Trevor Foss has been named the GoIslanders.com Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by Pepsi. Foss earned the award after helping the Islanders earn the No. 2 seed in the Southland Conference Tournament.
Foss pitched another gem in the series opener against Stephen F. Austin, going 8.1 innings before giving up a run against the Lumberjacks. In all, he pitched a complete game while giving up just four hits and walking one while striking out eight SFA batters.
The Islanders finished in second place of the Southland Conference and will look to win their first league tournament starting Wednesday, with a 12 p.m. game against Central Arkansas on tap to begin play in the event. The team will travel to Sugar Land for practice today, taking part in a workout at Constellation Field, host site of the 2013 Southland Conference Tournament, and home to the Sugar Land Skeeters, an independent minor league baseball club.

Column: Barbeque Ball fundraiser a success
Published: Monday, October 14, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 14, 2013 at 6:32 p.m.
Camp Highlander in Mills River was the site of the sixth annual Barbeque Ball, a fundraiser for the Henderson County Young Leaders Program, on Saturday. More than 300 people enjoyed great food from Hubba Hubba Smokehouse, live music provided by the Whitewater Bluegrass Company and square dancing.
There was also a silent auction featuring 39 auction items, as well as games and activities for the children. Last year this fundraiser raised over $80,000 for the Young Leaders Program.
The Henderson County Young Leaders Program is a not-for-profit corporation made up of community volunteers who provide local children a progression of residential camp experiences and a year-around program of mentoring, service and development activities.
The program is based on the strong belief that a residential camp experience offers a unique opportunity to help develop responsibility, leadership, character, confidence and resourcefulness in young people.
Over 200 third- through sixth-graders participated in the program last year. These children were nominated by school counselors, teachers and the Boys and Girls Club.
Participants begin the process with a weekend at Kanuga's Camp Bob. After the first weekend, there is a progression of five distinct programs to participate in, with eligibility based on success at the previous level. Successful participants from Camp Bob attend a full week camp in August at Camp Ton-A-Wandah. This camp helps participants gain the self-confidence and life skills they need for future success.
The next step in the process is called "Pathmakers." This is a year-around service and development program operated in cooperation with the Boys and Girls Club. Successful participants of "Pathmakers" are eligible for scholarship opportunities to multi-week sessions offered by 13 participating Western North Carolina camps.
The final step in the process is called "L.E.A.D". This is a year-around service and development program for high school-aged participants. This program offers monthly activities and training designed to influence success in high school and beyond.
The Henderson County Young Leaders Program provides opportunities for children to learn responsibility, independence and ways to overcome adversity, the group says. It inspires youth through confidence building and mentor-based programs to develop our community's leaders for tomorrow.
People participating in the Barbecue Ball fundraiser came out to Camp Highlander to offer assistance and encouragement to the hundreds of young people positively influenced by the program.

Hello there, friends.
I've been using Ps3 Media Server for a few days and I have to say it's just absolutely fantastic!
However, I'd like to share a issue I've been having, so maybe I'll find a solution.
My TV does a 2,5% overscan in HDMI channel, and there's no option to change it even in the factory menus.
So, I found this option of overscan compensation in PMS and decided to give it a shot, but if I enable 2% overscan compensation, the video
won't play in my Xbox 360.
In the logs, I can see the message "Cannot parse AVC header, buffer length is 36". It happens only if I enable that option.
Some settings: I've been using Coreavc (I've seem that FFdshow has an overscan compensation optiontoo, It works on the PC, coreavc doesn't have that tool) with K-Lite 32b+64b, Avisynth is installed (though no video works in my Xbox using avisynth as encoder) on a Xbox 360.
Thanks a lot.

Crash kills Montegut teen
It was the fourth fatal crash in a week in the Houma-Thibodaux area.
Published: Sunday, August 24, 2014 at 11:34 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 24, 2014 at 11:34 a.m.
A Montegut teenager was killed Saturday evening in Bourg after being ejected from his truck, State Police said.
Austin Neil, 19, was driving north on Lower Country Drive shortly after 6 p.m. when he failed to negotiate a right curve and went off the left side of the road, police said. His 2001 Ford Sport Trac hit a guardrail before traveling across the roadway to the right and rolling several times, police said.
Neil, who police said was not wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead on the scene by the Terrebonne Parish Coroner's Office.
Police said the truck's three passengers, who were also not wearing seat belts, received minor injuries.
It is unknown if alcohol was a factor. Routine toxicology tests are pending for Neil, and an investigation is ongoing, police said.
It was the fourth fatal crash in a week in the Houma-Thibodaux area. Three others were killed in separate crashes along La. 308 in Lafourche Parish.

2013-2014 school calendar set in Terrebonne
Published: Thursday, November 22, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 12:26 a.m.
The school calendar for next year is set for Terrebonne Parish public school students after the board approved a schedule Tuesday night.
Terrebonne's 2013-2014 School Calender
First day for teachers — Aug. 7
First day for students — Aug. 8
Labor Day holiday — Sept. 2
Fall Break — Oct. 11 and 14
Thanksgiving holidays — Nov. 25-29
Christmas holidays — Dec. 23 - Jan. 3
SPRING SEMESTER Classes resume — Jan. 6 Martin Luther King Jr. holiday — Jan. 20 Mardi Gras holidays — March 3-7 Easter holidays — April 18-25 Last day for students — May 23 Last day for teachers — May 26
Next year's calendar will be much the same as this year's. School starts on Aug. 8 again, but ends a day earlier, on May 22.
"Personally, I wish school could start later," said Superintendent Philip Martin. "But we'd have to start trimming back on holidays and things like that, and our teachers agreed that this was the best way to do it."
The Fall Break holiday will be two days instead of one because there won't be an Election Day holiday. The first day will be on Friday, Oct. 11, while the second will be on Monday, Oct. 14.
Martin said the break was designed to give parents a four-day weekend.
The major holiday breaks will last the same duration, but fall on different calendar dates. The Thanksgiving break will be a week later, while the Mardi Gras and Easter breaks will happen three weeks later.
Should a hurricane or other disaster force make-up days, students would lose the two fall break days and the Nov. 25 day of the Thanksgiving holiday.
That's similar to the "wiggle room" administrators left in this year's calendar. Hurricane Isaac, however, forced school administrators to cancel the fall break day and two days of Thanksgiving break — this Monday and Tuesday — while cutting a staff development day and adding six minutes to the school day.
"Obviously we hope we don't have to cancel any class days at all this year," Martin said. "We feel like leaving those three days is a good balance between being prepared and disrupting a normal school calendar."
School Board members reminded the public that the school district has little lee-way in making the calendar.
"We have very little choice on most of these dates," said board member Donald Duplantis. "With the rules we're given, the calendar is mostly made for us."

Reservation Highway Is Dangerous One person has died in an automobile accident during the past 19 and one half months for every six miles of Highway 93 on the Reservation. This is one of the alarming facts to come out of Montana Highway Patrol figures for the north south main reservation road for the period Jan. 1, 1972 to Oct.15 , 1973. According to the patrol report, there were 336 accidents on the 7 0 mile stretch of Highway 9 3 between Evaro and Elmo during that period. That comes out to nearly five accidents for each mile. The patrol figures show that 289 persons were injured in these accidents which averages out to roughly four injuries per mile. In addition, the report indicates, 2 2 persons have died in accidents which comes out to one every three miles of the highway or more than one death per month Per-Capita Payments Mailed Dec. 17 Dixon: Nearly 5 ,7 00 Tribal Members received $240 per capita payments last week, too late for the Tribal Council elections but just in time for Christmas. The "energy crisis" payments....called for by the Tribal Council in November to offset a threatened energy crunch....were approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs after an instant replay by the Council. Early in November, the Council voted six to one to pay out 90 per cent of the first quarter revenue (for the months of July, August and September) In December, Bureau of Indian Affairs Billings Area Director James Canan overturned the vote on the grounds that the Council has previously resolved to make but one payment per year, in August, to be based on the receipts of one entire year (from July 1 to June 30 of the previous year). In rejecting the payment, Canan also noted the Council has established a policy to re-(cont. on page 2) THE BI-WEEKLY NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND'd ORIELLES AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD RESERVATION Volume 3 - Number 17 New Moon of the Wandering - January 1,19 74 Record Number of Voters Vote on record-length ballots isquan The composition of the Constitutional Committee will be evenly mixed with men and women...the results of the Dec.15 election will seat five of each when the Con-Con begins reviewing the 38 year old tribal constitution this month. Arlee will be represented by two women. Josephine Morigeau Steele got the most votes with 404 and Virginia Fyant Butler polled 34 5. St. Ignatius will be represented by Douglas Allard, who received 5 25 votes and Jane Fouty, who gathered 429 votes. Public Health Sanitarian John "Chris" Lozeau will represent the Ronan District. Lozeau outpolled Joseph Santos Sr. 170 to 152. In Poison, Rose Cline walked away with a total vote of 2 6 4. In Pablo, R.

The only upset on the record length ballot, which drew a record number of voters, was in the Ronan District where Joe McDonald out-polled three term councilman Jim Ely, Jr., 254 to 126 votes. All told 89 2 voters...l9 2 more than in 1971.... selected from a ballot of 34 candidates....compared with 31 in 19 71.

Second was Everett A. Fyant, who was just ahead of Evelyn Grenier'with 98, and Clarice Charlo Sanchez, who polled 94. Also polling in the 90s was Thomas "Satch" McDonald with 91. Two candidates who had been disqualified from the Arlee race because of a residency decision collected votes in a write-in effort. Kevin Howlett tallied 19 and Sandra McCrea received one. In St. Ignatius, two-term councilman and current Tribal Council Chairman Harold Mitchell Jr., was returned with an impressive 30 5 votes. Mitchell was tailed by Clarence Woodcock, who received 210 votes and Margaret Phillips Blixt with 109 votes. The first candidate to file for the St. Ignatius seat, Nadine Felsman Allison, came in fourth in the slate of seven with 96 votes. In Elmo, two-term incumbent Pat Lefthand gathered a record 435 votes to beat former councilman Charles W. Radel, Jr., who got 286. (cont. on page 3) Three tribal members who had filed for candidacy to either the Tribal Council or the Constitutional Committee but were disqualified for residency reasons, say they will try to overturn the December 15 election through the federal courts. Kathy Ross, Ronan, Kevin Howlett, Arlee, and Barney Clairmont, Poison, told the TribarCouncil during a meeting December 7 that they will appeal an Election Committee decision to exclude candidates who had not actually lived on the reservation to the U.S. Federal District Court in Missoula. All three were disqualified because they were away from the reservation during the past year attending school. The three contend their civil rights were violated because they had maintained residence (cont. on page 3)

SANTA CLARA -- A group of Bay Area students will have on their game faces Saturday. After months of building and redesigning, teams of students from seven Bay Area middle and high schools will join 41 other teams from across the state to test their creations in a robot competition.
The Vex Robotics California State Championship is being held at California's Great America amusement park and will be California's first state championship.
To reach this stage, the 48 teams beat out their robot-building competition at local matches throughout the school year. "This is the best of the best," said Jason Morrella, president of the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation, which has run the international competition for more than five years. There will be "a lot of really impressive robots and really impressive teams," he said.
Cheered on by their families and fans, the teams will go head-to-head to see whose robot will outscore the other in a game called "VEX Sack Attack."
Teams must design their robots to be able to pick up scattered bean bags and place them into an array of goals. Robots can drop the sacks onto special colored squares, swoop them up and plop them into troughs, or perch them high atop a pedestal. The higher the target, the more points the team racks up. Teams can sabotage their challengers by removing a competitor's bean bags from the goals.
Strategy is important. The teams only have two minutes to engage in this robotic dance. And the first 15 seconds of the match must be done on auto-pilot. Students have to program their robots to do this precise job solo.
After the hands-free challenge, students pick up their remote controls and zip the robotic creations across the playing field, gathering bean bags as quickly as they can.
Jonathan Chang, 18, a student at San Jose's Bellarmine College Preparatory, said students there have been strategizing since before the school year began.
At first, the idea of robots picking up bean bags threw Chang for a bit of a loop. "This is the first year we had a game where the objects were not solid objects," he said. Picking up floppy bags was a new challenge that needed a fresh design.
Bellarmine has five robots entered in the competition. Many of those robots were designed in 3D on the computer before students built them using aluminum and steel.
All teams start with the same robotics kit, but there are as many designs are there are teams. Each group's robot must be no larger than an 18-inch cube to start the game but may shift like a Transformer once the game begins.
Students redesign and tweak their robots over the school year in hopesof edging out their competition. "It's is a combination of something like an Intel science fair with a high school basketball championship," said Morrella, who hopes the program will excite students by giving them a fun hands-on challenge.
At the state competition, each team will play eight to 10 matches. The top scorers will move on to the playoffs, where the winner will be decided. "California's Great America is excited to bring in the California state robotics championship; we believe in education and providing opportunities for our youth," said Roger Ross, public relations manager for the theme park.
The State Robotics Championship begins at 9 a.m. with robots facing off until 5 p.m. Saturday. It is open to the public, with free parking.
Up to eight of the highest ranking teams at the event will head to the World Championship in Anaheim, April 18-21.
The Bay Area schools competing include: San Jose's Bellarmine, Heart Academy and Challenger Middle School. Grange Middle School in Fairfield, Dougherty Valley High School in San Ramon, Dublin High School in Dublin and Head-Royce School in Oakland also have teams vying for spots at the World Championships.
The event Saturday is part of a national and global program with almost 7,500 teams in about 25 countries. More than 700 teams will be competing at the World Championships next month.
Chang's team is ready to see the robots in action. "We've been preparing all semester for this," he said.

Two NC men arrested in Howard's Rock vandalism
Published: Friday, August 16, 2013 at 2:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 16, 2013 at 2:07 p.m.
CLEMSON – Two North Carolina men have been arrested in the case of vandalism to Howard's Rock, an iconic symbol of the Clemson University football program.
Clemson University police charged Michael J. Rogers, 46, of Pisgah Forest, and Alden James Gainey, 17, of Brevard, each with felony counts of conspiracy and obstructing justice. Rogers is a member of the Transylvania County Board of education.
