PARKERSBURG - Two local organizations that help feed the less fortunate will benefit from a grant won by the area in Wal-Mart's Fight Hunger Together Facebook campaign during April.
Kevin Oshe, manager of the south Parkersburg Wal-Mart, said the $50,000 grant won in the vote went to the Mountaineer Food Bank, but some of the money will come back to the area.
"We said we wanted to see some of that come here and we got a $20,000 cut for the area," he said. "Parkersburg will see this come to light through the purchase of a commercial stove for North Parkersburg Baptist Church's Friendship Kitchen and a freezer, food processor and food slicer for Old Man Rivers."
Oshe said the items were bought from Lowe's and will be presented at 10 a.m. Friday at the south Parkersburg Lowe's.
In April's campaign the Parkersburg area was among the top 20 finishers in votes on Facebook. Cities finishing in the top 20 received grants of $50,000 to help combat hunger.
During April votes were cast on the Wal-Mart Facebook to select the top 20 out of 200 cities in the nation with the highest unemployment rates, as identified by the U.S. Department of Labor.
The Parkersburg area received around 7,000 votes and took ninth place in the top 20 finalists.
The campaign winner, Youngstown, Ohio, received a $1 million grant.
Other cities finishing in the top 20 were Johnson City, Tenn., Madera-Chowchilla, Calif., Fresno, Calif., Bakersfield-Delano, Calif., El Paso, Texas, Hanford-Corcoran, Calif., St. George, Utah, Toledo, Ohio, Danville, Va., Salem, Ore., Charlotte, N.C., Visalia-Porterville, Calif., Kokomo, Ind., Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla., Modesto, Calif., Morristown, Tenn., Louisville, Ky., Yuma, Ariz., and The Inland Empire, Calif.

(November 20, 2012)—As extended families get together for Thanksgiving this week, amid all the turkey and pie, the football on TV, the catching up on family doings, there are bound to be plenty of political disagreements.
Andrew Marshall of Quincy, Mass., says his relatives across the country include Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, so, they're expecting fireworks.
Things had already gotten so bad on Facebook, the family had to ban any political talk there, but at least they're still able to get together.
Brian Davidson of Helena, Ala., said he and his family aren't even going to Thanksgiving dinner this year with his father.
Davidson voted for Barack Obama, but he describes his dad as "a little to the right of Glenn Beck."
He said it's better to skip dinner than to suffer "a non-recoverable blowup."
This year, he'll take the kids to his wife's family instead, but they're conservative as well, so he says he'll try to avoid any topics that would bring "an Obama rant" around the table.

OAKLAND -- The A's aren't counting on seeing either outfielder Craig Gentry or infielder Nick Punto in the near term.
Gentry, eligible to come off the disabled list Tuesday, has a broken right hand that is going to take longer to heal than a 15-day day stay on the DL.
"He's just throwing right now,'' manager Bob Melvin said. "He tried to grip a bat the other day and it didn't go so well. So until he can grip a bat, whether it's dry swings or tee work or something like that, then you start to look at a timetable for him. But he's still not comfortable with the bat.''
Melvin said that Gentry probably would go out on an injury rehabilitation assignment after he's physically sound.
"When you are out a couple of weeks, it's prudent that you get some at-bats and have a good feeling coming back,'' he said. "That's probably the case with him.''
Punto, not eligible to come back from the disabled list until the start of the next homestand Aug. 19, has been impacted by his hamstring injury enough that he's not doing any baseball activities. That means he won't be on the plane when the A's fly to Kansas City after Sunday's game with the Twins and that he won't be ready when he's eligible.
"He's kind of going through that period where he's trying to work through the stiffness, the tightness that he has,'' Melvin said. "He's not near baseball activity at this point. He's been through plenty of these and knows how to deal with them. But we're not at the point yet where he'll be starting any baseball activity now.''
It's unusual to have someone from the visiting team catch the ceremonial throw, but this was deemed appropriate with Steinbach having been the A's primary catcher for almost La Russa's entire tenure as manager.
"It's unusual, but the Twins didn't have a problem with it,'' Steinbach said. "It'll be fun. I think if I have to get into a catcher's crouch, though, I may be looking at making a workman's comp claim.''
"When the ball is hit, you are thinking of it being down in the corner,'' Melvin said. "Now all of a sudden it turns into two (outs). There aren't many third basemen who are going to make that play. And to get up and throw it perfectly, and Sogard making a great turn, that was huge as far as the game went.''
The A's would score four times in the bottom of the fifth en route to a 6-5 win.
"Momentum swings aren't necessarily always offensive,'' the manager said. "They can be defensive. A play or two one way or the other gets you the momentum.''
The plan will call for his to be there at least a week as he recovers from the left calf strain that has already cost him 40 games. He will get a couple of starts as the first baseman, a couple more as the DH and two in the outfield.

The Easton Mako M5 Ice Pant is a small step down from the premier Mako pant, so excellent protection and mobility should be expected. Easton designed this pant to give the player the most free range of motion without sacrificing protection.
Easton continued their pursuit of maximizing mobility with the use of the split shell pant design. This design allows for the inner liner and the outer shell to move independently of one another preventing any binding or bunching of the pant as you stride. The outer stretch gusset that wraps around the entire pant conjoins 840D and 420D nylons that were placed in strategic high abrasion areas.
The Mako M5 pant not only provides great mobility but protection as well. The advantage this contoured pant has over traditional pants is that the design keeps the protection in place at all times. The kidney's and tailbone are protected by large molded plastic inserts that are covered in perforated medium-density foams.

Triad Hunter opens local office

MARIETTA — Officials with Houston-based Magnum Hunter Resources say they hope to maintain a long-term relationship with southeast Ohio and northwestern West Virginia through the company's local......
I wonder if they will use local well-trained workers or flood the community with unskilled labor?! I have heard horror stories of drilling job site problems up the river caused by unskilled labor. And, the ramshackle housing provided for these workers does nothing to enhance the communities! We need to let them know - USE LOCAL SKILLED WORKERS!

MOMMA3. You are correct. It all depends on the company that owns the plant or drilling site. MarkWest, for instance, uses alot of local man power while dominion transfers alot of theirs from down south (if you know what I mean). Cheasapeak does the same as Dominion. Williams uses alot of local workers as well. So it is about half and half. All depends on which companies get there first. Hopefully MarkWest and Williams. I know because I work in the industry.

The Augusta National is not the only busy golf course in town. Reservations are being made at the city's only Municipal Golf Course known as The Patch.
City leaders say there is no comparing Augusta National with "The Patch. "They would like to try to duplicate their success through a partnership with a local non-profit.
You can see Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson and Jack Nicklaus at Augusta National. At the patch, you're more likely to to run into Andre, Bernard and Robert. "The Municipal Course is for everybody. You don't have to be a millionaire to be out here," said Golfer Robert Freese.
"It's really an unknown secret if city leaders could ever get the greens right. It's really a hard course," said Golfer Bernard Wright.
The Patch has just about everything Augusta National does. Their greens are a little faded, the flowers could use some water and the grass at the patch is higher.
"It's in great condition. It's a great course to come out and play on. It doesn't matter if you're 16 or 60," said Golfer Corey Woods.
"Most of your big golf courses, they have huge greens and they're perfect. Everything is in order but you won't find that at The Patch," said Golfer Andre Lacey.
Commissioner Alvin Mason says that could change. He is waiting to hear the First Tee's plans to manage The Patch. A group from Scotland , the Kelly Brothers and Virginia Beach Management all wanted a swing, but they couldn't quite make par.
"I don't believe those things were done appropriately. They were done with just a few people in mind," said Mason. He says with improvements the course could host tournaments and bring more money to the city.
"You're talking about sleeping in our hotels, eating in our restaurants and buying from our sporting goods stores," said Mason.
You don't need badges or special invites, The Patch is the course anyone can play.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Giardiasis - Topic Overview
What is giardiasis?
Giardiasis (say "jee-ar-DYE-uh-sus") is an infection of the intestines caused by the parasiteGiardia lamblia.
The illness, also called giardia (say "jee-AR-dee-uh"), is most often a problem in undeveloped countries where tap water is not safe.
How can you become infected with giardia?
You may become infected with giardia if you eat food or drink water that is tainted with human or animal waste. In the United States and Canada, you can get giardia by drinking untreated water from wells, streams, rivers, and lakes. This is true even in mountain lakes and streams where the water may seem very pure. The infection can also happen if you swallow contaminated water while you swim.
You can get giardia from someone else through:
- Close contact with someone who is infected.
- Working in day care centers for young children. For example, if you change a diaper and don't wash your hands afterward, anything or anyone you touch could get infected. You could even get the illness yourself if you touch your mouth or eat food that you've touched. Children in day care centers are also more likely to get infected.
- Working or living in nursing homes or other care centers where people may have poor bowel control and poor hygiene.
- Some types of sexual contact, such as anal-oral contact.
What are the symptoms?
Giardia can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, gas, and nausea. You may feel sick once and then get better. Or your symptoms may come and go for some time. Some children with giardiasis do not grow or gain weight normally. Sometimes giardiasis does not cause any symptoms.
After a person is exposed to the parasite, it usually takes 7 to 10 days for the infection to develop, but it can take from 3 to 25 days or longer. You can pass the infection to others during the entire time you are infected. You may be infected for months, even if you don't have symptoms.
How is it diagnosed?
Your doctor will ask questions about your past health and will do a physical exam to find out if you have giardiasis. He or she may also test your stool for the parasite that causes the infection.

Eyeshadows are my favourite kind of make up. Hell, they are my go-to artistic outlet. When you 're so into textures, tones, effects and combinations you tend to feel a bit like an alchemist, like a crazy kind of genius. I sometimes kinda see my self like that.. experimenting and laughing out loud manically (muhahaha!!!). You like eyeshadows, too..don't you? Well, friend, I can personally guarantee (for what it's worth) that this little thing will step up your eyeshadow game. This silicony sticky jelly will help you pack colours and glitter like nobody's bussiness. Ahem, I know that packing glitter is not your main concearn, but I'm just sayin' in case of an impromptu eye-glitter-needing situation pixie epoxy in your stash will tottally save you.. For the rest-non glitter(kinda boring)-days, revive your love of "colour with an impact" with pixie epoxy. The only downside is that being the crazy-ass primer it is, it sometimes won't work well with matte colours..Yeah I know, bummer, but it (pixie epoxy, I swear it does) considers them kind of square.
If you look at swatches of eyeshadows over this on the internet the difference is like WOW. Plus, it is quite impossible to smudge the eyeshadow and it even makes the shimmer particles to stay in place. And above them all? Pixie epoxy will tottally make your duochrome eyeshadows werk dem duochromes, alright? I would drop the mike if I had one in my hand.. For dramatical purposes only just picture this in your head. Thank you.

The only thing i have to say about this is that it makes mineral e/s pop out more. I have some samples from mineral e/s and i have to say that i hate loose e/s's! I should just press them but i've been too lazy to do that. But back to the pixie epoxy. It's mostly glycerin so perhaps glycerin from pharmacy would work too? But pixie epoxy is not that expensive and only a little bit is enough. Once i ran out of this i'm not buying more.

Pixie Epoxy is one amazing little product. While it does take a bit of mastery to use, it will make colors come out of your shadows that you didn't even realize were there! Applying this over the while lid is asking for trouble, as blending over it is problematic at best. My favorite way to pat this is over my blended shadows or base, then pat the pigment on over it. Wow. Color, staying power, sparkle- standout color! It's also great to use to help shadow lining stay put either under the lash line, or anywhere they tend to move. At seven dollars its a guilt free steal. My only complaint mirrors another's, the doe foot applicator is not sanitary for sharing, so pop product on the back of your hand first. Watch your colors come Alive!!!

Like other reviewers, I agree that there is a learning curve for Pixie Epoxy, but once mastered, this will render for eye makeup bombproof. You need the tiniest bit, basically what comes out on the applicator naturally, gently patted with a finger onto the eyelid. I wait a few seconds for it to get tacky, then press in my eyeshadows. Wiping eyeshadows on with brush or sponge-tip can create a crusty effect, so start with a light hand and apply as if "foiling". Works best with metallic powders, glitters, or loose minerals, but can make matte shadows long-lasting if applied correctly. I also use a thin line of this in the corners and under lower lashes to seal eyeliner - not pencil eyeliners, but shadows and powders used as liners. My face is oily, eyes especially, and my light eyes are also extremely photosensitive, so I tear up in bright sunlight. I have battled disappearing and running liners forever because of this, and PE has been my salvation, keeping my eye makeup neat and intact. It also enhances colors and keeps glitters in place, so a must-have for clubbing and nights out. This stuff is inexpensive, lasts forever, and Fyrinnae has beautiful shadows and powders to go with it.. Highly recommend both this product and the eyeshadows from Fyrinnae.

Absolutely will repurchase. I have probably had this tube for 1 year. I use it almost every time I do my eyes, and I still have half the tube left. What I prefer to do is blend out my look on top of a primer, and then I take a tiny dab (I just touch my finger to the wand once for each eye) and smear it around over top of the shadow that is already there. Then I gently apply the colours I really want to pop over top of the Pixie Epoxy. This way I do not have to fight with blending it, which can prove a bit difficult.
Absolute must have.

I agree with all the glowing reviews. This stuff rocks.
The way I apply is to press the applicator to my finger with no more product than comes out on its own, wait a second, then pat onto my lid. You barely need any for it to work. Then PAT shadow on top - swiping from side to side runs the risk if the shadow looking ruddy. I've had terrible luck using many pressed shadows and I wouldn't use it for mattes (this is supposed to enhance the shimmer or color of unusual or shimmery colors, you don't need that for mattes). I use TFSI under it and love the combo.

I absolutely love Pixie Epoxy! Even though the website states 'This is not an eye shadow primer, or really a base. It is to keep sparkles on and/or to make shimmery shadows appear "glossy"', I use it as an eye primer, and I find it absolutely amazing :)
For everyday looks, I dab a tiny bit on each eyelid and use a finger to coat from my lash line up to my brows- I wait a few seconds and then lightly dust a face powder over to get rid of the tackiness.. then apply my eyeshadow as usual, and voila.. at the end of the day there is some very very minimal fading and no creasing!
When using eye shadows/pigments when lots of glitter, I skip adding the face powder over the top so my lid is still tacky and gently pat the product onto my lid.
Pixie Epoxy does take a bit of getting used to- if you add too much you can end up with a sticky mess on your lid.. you really only need a tiny little bit.. my current tube has lasted me at least six months with everyday use!
I've given Pixie Epoxy 4 stars for packaging- the reason for this is that I loath the lipgloss style packaging- I think it's so easy for the product to become contaminated.. the doe brush can end up looking dirty if I have a little foundation on my eyes.. it all seems to mix together and for that I'm not a fan.. I would love to see this in a squeezy tube!
As for the price - $7 - it's super cheap and better than the more expensive higher end primers that I've tried, I will come back, and repurchase, Pixie Epoxy every time!

Love this product. It allows me to get all the loose ends without worrying about fallout. I never have to worry about applying more makeup with problems. Highly recommend

I am in love. In the last few years, I've gotten really into pigments, along with my steadily growing collection of pressed eyeshadows. The majority are mattes/subtle shimmers, but bright. They work amazingly well over UDPP with NYX Milk to adhere to. However, I had a few glitter pigments and pressed shadows that I rarely wore because the glitter would either end up all over my face, or wouldn't even translate from the pot to my eyes at all.
I decided to give it a shot after reading all the positive reviews here and on blogs. This stuff is amazing. I was afraid it might be a little finicky because many people mentioned there was a bit of a learning curve. I didn't find it to be difficult at all. Just apply a little, less than you would a primer, and wait until it gets tacky before patting shadows over it.
When used overtop of a primer, the epoxy keeps all my pigments, glitters and shadows on all day with no fallout. I've even tried it with my Sugarpill mattes and found that it can work decently, even though Fyrinnae advises against using it with mattes. For the price and how much you need to use, this is an amazing deal. I grabbed 20 shadow samples when I ordered 2 tubes of the epoxy (Fyrinnae can be pesky to order from, but offer free shipping on international orders +$50), and they are amazing as well. Will definately be ordering again in the future.

Pain Management Health Center
Opioid (Narcotic) Pain Medications
In this article
Working With Your Doctor continued...
Never change or stop taking any opioid medicine without first checking with your doctor. If a pain medication isn't working as well as it should, your doctor may switch you to a different dose -- or try another drug.
When you're ready to stop taking opioids, your doctor may help wean you off them slowly, if you have taken them for an extended period of time, to give your body time to adjust. Otherwise, you may have withdrawal symptoms.
Opioid Side Effects
One of the reasons why your doctor needs to manage pain medications so closely is that they can potentially cause side effects, such as:
- constipation
- drowsiness
- nausea and vomiting
The drugs lubiprostone (Amitiza), methylnaltrexone (Relistor) and naloxegol (Movantik) are approved to treat constipation due to opioid use in those with chronic pain not caused by cancer.
Opioids can be dangerous if you take them with alcohol, or with certain drugs such as:
- some antidepressants
- antihistamines
- sleeping pills
Make sure your doctor knows all of the other medicines you're taking. That includes:
- prescription drugs
- over-the-counter drugs
- herbal supplements
Opioid Tolerance and Addiction
After taking opioid pain medication for a while, you might find that you need more and more of the drug to achieve the same effect in reducing pain. This is called tolerance. It's not the same as addiction, which involves a compulsive use of a drug.
When you use opioid medication over an extended period of time, you can develop dependence. This can occur when your body becomes so used to the drug that if you abruptly stop taking it, you get withdrawal symptoms such as:
- diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting
- muscle pain
- anxiety
- irritability
You can also develop an addiction to opioid pain medications. People who are addicted to opioids compulsively seek out the pain medications. They typically have behaviors that lead to negative consequences in their personal lives or workplace.
If you are having a problem with addiction, you might need to see an addiction specialist.
Should You Take Opioid Pain Medications?
Opioids can make a dramatic difference to people with moderate to severe pain. These drugs can be an effective therapy -- as long as you use them safely and follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

Salley native Rodriguez Abney was killed June 6 in a late-night fire...but it wasn't until June 14--seven days later--that his body was discovered.
Abney was killed when his uncle's Maple Street home shot up in flames. His uncle, 90-year-old Eddie Mays, was rescued.
But Abney wasn't found until seven days later.
Abney's body was found underneath a collapsed roof, brick and lots of other debris. That's most likely why he's been passed over time and time again.
"The way that fire was so spread throughout that house... no, couldn't have helped him," says family friend Tony Davis.
"There was another person who lived there but from my understanding at the time, he was out of town," says SVFD fire chief Gene Fogle.
Fire Chief Fogle says he searched the site three separate times, but it wasn't until a forensic specialist came in that Abney's body was finally discovered.
"Some of the debris we had moved around him and some we had actually put on top of him going through the search," Chief Fogle says.
Investigators blame the amount of debris for not having found Abney's body earlier. But family members say that's a poor excuse.
"You got to re-check it," says Abney's cousin Ned Milhous. "It's just like leaving a fire when it ain't all the way completely out. It's the same way about a life. You go to back and re-check it."
"Keep in mind this was a brick home, and the roof collapsed when the fire occurred, and this individual was buried under a good bit of debris," says Lt. Michael Frank of the Aiken County Sheriff's Department.
Although witnesses agree Abney would have been difficult to reach, family and friends have had a tough week, not knowing for sure whether he was dead or alive.
The Salley Police Department is the lead agency in this investigation, and neither it nor the fire department has determined a cause of the fire.
They say it could have been electrical, or it may have been caused by some flammable items in the house.
Abney's death is the first death within Salley's city limits in at least ten years.

Probably the most frequently asked question to the docs team at MySQL from the public is "I want to translate the manual into [insert language]". That language can be anything from one we already have, through to some comparatively obscure suggestions.
We never summarily turn down an offer, but we do point out how big a job the process is. At over 1900 pages, the manual is no longer a small project, and where we have had translations completed, sometimes by professional translation outfits the process has taken months, and in one case over a year, to complete by a full time translation team. Even the dedicated MySQL enthusiast is going to struggle with achieving the same level of output.
Even if you could commit to a translation time of 6 months using a dedicated team, you have to keep in mind that any manual translated in this manner is not going to be up to date, for the simple reason that we make changes to the manual on a daily basis—there have been 127 changes in the last week, and some of those include more or less completely reintroduction or manipulation of the content for a chapter. It would be almost impossible to start complete translation unless the process was conducted on a very specific revision of the manual.
If the process is so difficult, why do we do it?
Well, cast your minds back a few weeks to a post I made a couple of weeks ago on translation (Foreign languages and documentation).
Reader stenone asked "Why bother translating at all?"
As an Englishman (albeit with an interest in other languages), I felt completely unable to answer that question, so instead I asked other members of MySQL to comment. The majority of staff at MySQL are not English, American or Australian, and those of us who would count English as our first language are in a minority, rather than a majority, so the question and audience were well matched.
I got a lot of good responses (thanks team!), and many of them resolved down to "we want to provide the documentation in a format that makes it readable for our customers". That sort of answers the question—we are customer focused, and if the customers say they want a German version of the manual, we should be willing to offer that, but I still don't think it addresses the original query.
Other suggestions were along the lines of "for our customers to use our products, they need to be able to understand how to use them". This response is closer to the answer I was expecting. We cannot expect our users to learn English just so that they can read the manual and in turn use our product. System requirements are one thing, but having user requirements of this magnitude is hardly the way to encourage good customer relations!
We Brits have a bad track record on languages as a rule, and it's a running joke that our attempts to speak a foreign language generally simplify down to speaking L-O-U-D-L-Y A-N-D S-L-O-W-L-Y on the basis that "Johnny Foreigner" will understand what we are saying. Apply that to a manual and we'd be approaching 5000 pages :)
In the end I think it comes down to a simple case of understanding. Imagine if MySQL, as a Swedish company, only provided their manual in Swedish?
Would it be as popular as it is now? Would MySQL have led to a massive effort around the world as people strive to learn the Swedish language, just so that we could all use MySQL in our projects?
I doubt it.
Instead, we'd all be walking around saying "Jag kan inte tala svenska". Or we'd spend most of our time muttering "Jag förstår inte" under our collective breath while reading the manual, and probably not because of the technical content.
If you don't understand those two phrases, then imagine how it would feel to read an entire manual!
Translations are, and will continue to be, the best way to reach the large numbers of MySQL users who do not speak English and either are unable or do not want to learn.
Documentation strategies
The pace of free software development is so fast that it is an impediment to use in itself. Isn't that a bizarre truth?!
I'm an amateur on-again off-again developer, so I often find myself starting a project, stopping for awhile to work on other stuff, then coming back to it. But often, it's like Rip van Winkle waking up after the flag (and everything under it) has changed: the library I was depending on has gone through three major version changes, and the programming style I was using is "passé": "Oh, we've moved beyond 'interfaces', 'generic functions' are much better and clearer". Ack! I can't keep up.
With documentation, mostly written by volunteers, this can be a serious problem: API documentation in particular is often out of date as a result.
In fact, the frequent complaint about lack of documentation for free software programs is usually inaccurate: most of the time there's plenty of documentation, but much of it is conflicting! Often there was an old, ugly way to solve a problem which was then replaced by a new easy way (which old-timers don't see any need to document, because it's so easy). So you wind up with smart new software and dumb old manuals.
On the other hand, the overriding concepts behind an application are usually pretty consistent even across major versions (MySQL is still going to be an SQL database, even if you've added 'transactions' or 'cursors' or whatever).
So one thing I've noticed some projects moving towards is increasing the use of automatic documentation tools: write the base document in as version-neutral a way as possible (so you don't have to constantly update it), then link into automatically generated documentation that is created from the source code comments.
For a translation effort this would help as well: there'd be less time pressure on the main manual document (because it's not changing so frequently), and the automatically-generated documentation is a much smaller project to translate). In fact, now that I think about it, I bet you could write a gettext-based system to use the old translated API with the new one so that you only have to translate the parts that have changed.
I don't know, but it does seem like there are probably a number of technical and procedural improvements that could be made.
Ambiguity and concepts without context kills the translator
I can tell you that a good translation of a MySQL manual with two thousand pages written in a technical jargon would take of technical MySQL take several years to complete for users of a minor language (i.e. a language spoken by few forty thousand or so). At the time a Greenlandic version of the MySQL manual would come out, MySQL has perhaps reached version 8 or 10. :-)
One of the most obvious difficulties that users of minor languages run into is:
(A) no equivalent set of the technical terminology, (B) very few translators that can accomplish the workload and they are perhaps geographically scattered and (C) few free software tools to assist the translators.
What is needed often seemes to be a consistent terminology for the most important hundred or two hundreds concepts used in a larger manual. A terminology would at least include (1) the concept and (2) a definition of the concept. Some further features of a good terminology would include some examples of how to use the concept (i.e. the concepts usage and how not to use it). If the concept is very close related to a specific grapical user-interface the superior terminology could include a screendump and so on.
In order to get the job done, manual translation is necessary. Perhaps the tranlators capable of getting the job done lives in seperate parts of the world. Being able to translate through a browser with some sort of workflow-management could prove to be very helpful.
Small disconnected free software projects without coupling is doomed to require the same work getting done over and over again. Many hours of inefficient translation is done due to the lack of a common, well-defined English terminology. Translation of concepts without precise a definition is prone to contain errors. Translating one concept at a time or perhaps a peculiar sentence without a context is difficult. Some free software translators may have tried to use Pootle (http://pootle.wordforge.org)? Well, it's difficult to translate strings like "%s to find blah blah", when your translation has to fit into one string. No room to make the project manager aware of the ambiguities related to that string.
Major companies will use proprietary products like MultiTerm, TermStar or XTS to provide themselves and their customers with a consistent corporate terminology. They gain clarity in communication, a corporate image and saves themselves from a lot of misunderstandings and saves a lot of time.
To give an example: Translation of the headline �Manual translation� could refer to the tiresome labour of manually translating a string and/or it could refer to translation of (software?) manuals. Ambiguity is the root of all evil in translation.

The Scene: Many, many, many, many ticketless, and many cops to make sure no one had too much fun. I swear, providence has more unmarked cop cars than any city needs. But this doesn't really matter that much.
I got into the show really early, and Ann and I decided to walk around and check out the t-shirts and all that fun stuff. Then we made our way over to the Waterwheel table where were made a purchase that lead to us being awarded the Holy Grail - Aftershow Passes! I'll get to the description of the "party" later...
The Show:
[Timings are for the START of the songs and are not completely accurate] Set I: Tweezer [8:05]> Taste [8:25], Bouncin' [8:35], Funky Bitch [8:38], Ginseng Sullivan [8:45], Limb by Limb [8:49], Lawn Boy [9:00], Charcter 0 [9:04] [Set ends at 9:11]
Set II: Birds of a Feather [9:53]> 2001 [10:10]> Brother [10:25], Brother Outro [10:38], Ghost [10:48]> Can't Turn You Loose* [10:55]> Lizards [10:57], David Bowie [11:10] [didn't write down end time]
E: Harry Hood
*aka "The Blues Brothers Theme"
[you'll notice that songs divided by segues are written about in one paragraph, if you don't like this, let me know]
Set I:
TWEEZER as an opener got me pretty damn psyched, and was quite fitting seeing as they finished up Friday's show with Tweeprise. I got the feeling throughout this whole show that the funk was being toned down a bit, and while Tweezer is always pretty funky, this one had some spacier elements to it as well. Being the first song on my two night run, I unfortunately don't remember as much as I wanted to, but I was delighted to hear the jam degenerate (in a good way) to some funk out of which sprang a Trey-lead segue into TASTE. Let me just say right now that Trey was definitely in rock-star mode the whole weekend, hamming it up on stage, and taking several waka-waka solos during the run. Taste had a very nice solo by Trey, but it is one of those types of solos that I have a tough time judging at shows. I think it was probably above-average, if that means anything. I just felt a lot more emotion coming from Trey than I usually do in Taste.
BOUNCIN' was next, and the singing of my section mates was oh-so-enjoyable.
FUNKY BITCH, the rock favorite of jaded men everywhere, came up next, and we were treated to one of the longest EHHHHHHHHHHH-very from Mike that I have ever heard. The other parts of the Bitch were unremarkable (but fun nonetheless).
GINSENG SULLIVAN is a song that I've been seeing a lot lately, but luckily it's my favorite of the bluegrass songs. This actually got a smile out of the unhappy parents that were sitting next to us at this show. Phish really has something for everyone.
LIMB BY LIMB followed, with a jam that I was VERY impressed with. While I haven't really latched on to any Limb jams before, this one seemed to have direction and melody in Trey's solo that I think others have lacked. Most of the time when Trey starts up the high-pitched effects in this song, they start to lose me a bit, but this solo was VERY tight.
LAWN BOY was up next, and Page did his usual routine of standing up and crooning like Perry Como. Speaking of Perry Como, does everyone here know that he did an album of heavy metal favorites in his signature style? Or maybe the heavy metal bands did Perry Como favorites in their signature style. I forget...
CHARACTER 0 closed out the set nicely. It was nowhere near as good as 12/31/96, which set the standard for "Phish Arena Rock"
Setbreak: I finally got to meet Bill Marconi and Matt Frankel. We chatted for a while, and it was finally great to see people who I only knew by their words. Bill looks a little bit like Don Glasgo (trombone for ween '96 and professor at Dartmouth). I found out that rmp people are as cool in real life as they are here (and reaffirmed this at the gathering the next day
Set II
BIRDS OF A FEATHER started up with some guitar riffs by Trey and then a driving bass line by Mike which continued throughout the whole song. The chorus, in case you want help recognizing the song, is "Birds of a feather/are flocking outside." From that, one would think that the song is about conformity, although I can't be sure, since it was kind of hard to hear in there. I'm pretty sure I heard the words "ritual drum" which gives a vague hint that the song is about the conformity WITHIN the Phish "community" (drum circles). The other lyrics were pretty cool as well (and supportive of my theory), although I can't remember them. But I'm probably completely off with my ideas about this song. It definitely has a Talking Heads feel to it, like everyone was saying on the net and at the Gathering on Sunday. The jam was pretty cool, but it didn't really go too far, IMHO. It seems to be grounded in the same driving bass line from Mike throughout, with very few, if any chord changes (I'm probably going to catch hell from a music major here). Trey and Page did some great soloing over the essentially static rythym section in this song, but my favorite Phish moments are when songs break out of their molds. I suppose the mold for BOAF isn't hard enough for them to break out yet, so I'm just being a jerk. Anyway, the end of the song degenerated into space, and after 17 minutes (did I just complain about a 17 minute new song? somebody slap me), the drum beat for 2001 started up. This was one of the great 2001s that we've been hearing lately, lots of funk with a little space thrown in. (Jeremy Goodwin has a nice name for this, but I'll let him share it with all of you). Kuroda was NUTS on the lights. I thought I was seening some new effects, but I think I was just seeing virtuosity on the lights that was above Kuroda's usual greatness. Of course, when he tones them down a bit, people decide that it's time to throw the glowsticks. A lot of them ended up on stage, which is not too cool in my book. After 15 minutes of 2001 mahem, Trey started a percussive vocal jam, sort of playing cymbals with his mouth. It sounded REALLY cool, and the rest of the band joined in with their own percussive sounds. Trey still had the delay loop going, which is why I indicated a segue into BROTHER when he played the main riff. This was by far the spaciest and coolest Brother I've heard, although I have only heard a few. It got REALLY spacey, with Trey hopping all over his pedals and Page on the clavinet. Trey kind of ripped the band back into reality by playing the main riff, and this listener thought it was an ugly transition.
I can only assume the band thought so too, because they did the whole thing with the "radio-friendly" version, which was essentially the BROTHER OUTRO that they had just screwed up.
Then, they decided to play something "radio unfriendly" and "very long and very slow." I had no idea what it might be, but they ended up playing GHOST, which certainly isn't that slow in my book. This was a typically great Ghost, and I love this song every time I hear it. My memory is failing me here, but the segue into CAN'T TURN YOU LOOSE was nicely done, and it was great to hear a cool tease/jam like this one. Amazingly enough, this jam found its way to LIZARDS without stopping. I remember thinking that it should have gone into something else (maybe "Walk Away") but I forget. I usually think of Lizards as a fun song, but not particularly moving. I actually LOVED this Lizards, mostly because they were putting a lot of emotion into the jam, like they were actually trying to make it sound better than usual. I thought this song would end the set, but...
The hi-hat for DAVID BOWIE kicked in. I couldn't believe they were starting Bowie at 10 past 11! This was a nice Bowie, with the ending being repeated more often than usual, all with digital delay from Trey. I think they even fooled Chris! I know the description here isn't that great, but...
Between the second set and encore, Ann and I made our way "backstage," which was actually the lounge at the very rear of the venue, above the 200 level.
Watching from the lounge, HARRY HOOD didn't receive all of my attention, since I was so psyched to be at the Aftershow Party. I do remember liking it a lot, and I've been VERY impressed with the recent variation in Harry (12/30/97). It seems that no song is too sacred now.
Aftershow Party:
Anyway, Hood ended and the lights came up. I was disappointed to see people *paying* for beer at the party. I had always assumed that that sort of thing was free. We couldn't find any food either! Ann and I did snag a glass of water for free, and sat down at a table. As we were sitting down, who came from the back elevator but Mike! He went and sat a couple tables away from us. Before I got up the nerve to go say hello, he walked back into the room with the bar, where most of the people were gathering.
After a few minutes, I realized that I wouldn't have many more chances to talk with the members of Phish in my life, so Ann and I went to the other room to seek him out. There were only a few people around him, and there were a LOT of people at the party. I was glad to see he wasn't being mobbed. After watching him talk to a few people, I finally got up the nerve to introduce myself. "Hi Mike, I'm Dan," I said, holding out my hand to him. He said "Hi Dan." I told him "Great show tonight, and he said thanks." While I had his attention, I decided to ask him a question that I had been wondering about for the few days before the show. I recently found out that Jan Kerouac (daughter of Jack) had written a book called "Trainsong." (It's out of print, so I unfortuately have yet to find a copy). So I say to Mike, "I have a question about the song Train Song." "Sure, go ahead." he tells me. So I ask him if it is related to the book by Jan Kerouac, and after a clarifying who Jan is, he tells me "I don't know. That's interesting, I'll have to check that out." I told him "Thanks again for the show." and left, because at this point I had no more planned questions, and spontanaeity would have been a disaster at this point. He also had somes friends with him, and I didn't want to bother him that much.
Mike is the NICEST guy, and if he was being patronizing to me or anyone else, I had no idea. He seems to really enjoy talking to the fans. He is shorter than I am (5'11") which was pretty surprising to see.
Sorry for all of the minute detail here, but it was an amazing experience for me, and I just wanted to share it with all of you. If I had to sum up the aftershow experience, I would say that the party was a lot LESS cool than I thought it would be but meeting Mike was MUCH cooler than I ever imagined.
Stay tuned for the review of Sunday night (and the gathering!). Right now I have to go catch up on homework that I neglected to see these amazing shows. (and to write this review!)
To sum up: You probably want the second set (8), and maybe want the first (5). You definitely want to meet Mike The whole show gets a 6.5, if you can't handle averages.

Hey all,
I looked through the forums but didnt see anything related but if so just point me in the right directions.
Anyways PMS worked fine with my old ISP but I just got Verizon Fios installed and now None of my media servers can find my PS3. I know this issue is not isolated to PMS cause Vuze can't see it also. The ps3 is on the network and has an assigned IP, all online functions work on it and media server is enabled. I have PMS force ip to my desktop where my media is all other settings are default.
Does anyone know if this is an issue with Verizon and I have mess around with router settings, or could it be settings on my PC although PMS was working fine with those settings and my old ISP.
If need be ill post my trace log but I don't see any can't or unusual stuff in there.

President Obama Proposes Home Energy Retrofit Program for Job Creation
President Obama's jobs speech followed the Jobs and Economic Growth Forum, which the White House hosted on December 3.
President Barack Obama proposed a new rebate program on December 8 to reward homeowners for making their homes more energy efficient, while also proposing additional federal investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy. As part of a speech about jobs and the economy at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., the president noted that home energy retrofits create jobs, save money for families, and reduce the pollution that threatens our environment. President Obama also called for aid to small businesses and new investments in infrastructure. Most of the president's proposals will require congressional approval.
President Obama's job plan calls for an expansion of select American Recovery and Reinvestment Act initiatives that promote energy efficiency and clean energy jobs. The president noted that one-third of the Recovery Act is intended for investments "to put Americans to work doing the work that America needs done," such as doubling the U.S. capacity for producing power from renewable energy. But most of those initiatives are oversubscribed, causing many strong ideas to go unfunded. With that in mind, the Obama Administration is supporting the expansion of programs for which additional federal dollars will leverage private investment and create jobs quickly, such as investments in industrial energy efficiency, as well as new or extended tax incentives for investing in U.S. manufacturing facilities for renewable energy technologies. See the White House press release and a transcript of the president's remarks.

September JFXStudio Challenge winner talks JavaFX with Reviews Interactive
By Maijaliisa Burkert on Oct 27, 2009
Software architect Mark Nankman was the winner of the September JFXStudio challenge, which required developers to build an application with 30 or fewer lines of code in a single JavaFX file (30 lines as counted by actual lines, or 3,000 characters), with a 'time' theme. Mark's Pacman clock application took first place and caught the attention of many because of the creativity and complexity demonstrated within the small file. Mark has several years of experience in Java programming, and has recently turned his focus to Web 2.0 and RIA development, which is how he became interested in JavaFX. He said he used to develop Adobe Flex front-ends to interact with Java back-ends, but didn't like the fact that it required 3 programming languages! Turning to JavaFX Mark found that the programming language "makes developing maintainable rich web applications a lot easier."
When discussing Mark's winning Pacman clock application, he noted that it was relatively easy to build, and said he had a functioning product within 30 minutes of starting, stating that with JavaFX "you can do a lot with just a little code." Mark said he needed to use just a few simple manipulations to keep the code within the 30-line limit, such as using compact SVGPaths, along with several other tricks he listed in his blog. Overall, Mark noted that he as "amazed at just how powerful JavaFX is." He reported only having to sacrifice one feature in his application -- the ability to dynamically resize the clock -- which he said simply couldn't be crammed into the 30-line application.

Off-Duty EMTs Rush to Aid of Shot NYPD Officer
A pair of off-duty emergency technicians who rushed to the aid of an NYPD officer shot in Brooklyn Wednesday said they had no hesitation before jumping into action.
Khadijah Hall and Shaun Alexander, both of the Fire Department of New York's EMS Station 58 in Brooklyn, were sitting in the parking lot of a White Castle in Crown Heights when Police Officer James Li was shot in the leg and groin after trying to apprehend a man apparently trying to avoid paying the fare on a city bus.
"It was just second nature–we saw it happen and we knew that we had to help," said Ms. Hall. "It's who we are. There was no hesitation; there was no second thoughts about it. "
Mr. Li, 26 years old, was transported to Kings County Hospital, where he was being evaluated by doctors for non-life-threatening injuries, officials said Wednesday night. Police arrested Rashun Robinson, 28, on charges including first-degree murder, assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon and other charges. He was awaiting arraignment and couldn't be reached for comment. It was unclear if an attorney has been assigned to his case.
The duo, both EMT veterans of more than two decades, had been sitting in Ms. Hall's car in the lot of the White Castle, planning a colleague's retirement party, when they heard two shots.
They then saw a gunman running down the block, who "turned around and started shooting behind him," as police officers returned fire, Ms. Hall recounted to reporters at their EMS Station on Thursday morning.
When one of the officers fell down, instinct kicked in, she said.
"Shaun said to me 'I can't believe this! You have any gloves?' I said, 'Yeah, I have a tech bag in my trunk.' So immediately I jumped out of my car–I left it running, my door open. … And went to the aid of the officer that was down about 15 feet away from us." Ms Hall said.
She said they checked the officer, located his leg wound and applied pressure and dressing. They said he was eager to know if he had been hit elsewhere but remained calm.
"I said, 'You're gonna be fine,' " Ms. Hall said.
Police said Mr. Li and Officer Randy Chow, both rookies who graduated from the police academy in December and were working in an Operation Impact zone, approached two men as they boarded a bus through the back door without paying the fare. The men tried to flee. Officials said Mr. Robinson, who goes by aliases including Rashaun Robinson, fired several gun shots as he ran, striking Mr. Li.
The pair said that police initially thought they were good Samaritans before learning they were professional first responders. Ms. Hall said she refreshed the tech bag in the trunk of her car last month and called it "phenomenal" that they were in the right place at the right time, since every second can be crucial in such a situation.
Asked if they were heroes, the pair said they were just happy to help.
"I don't consider myself a hero, " added Ms. Alexander. "We do this every day; we're not the only ones that does this. And there's a lot of us out there. "

Sharon Van Etten
The shimmering sound of Sharon Van Etten's Jagjaguwar debut album, Tramp, both defies and illuminates the unsteadiness of a life in flux. Throughout the 14 months of scattered recording sessions, Van Etten was without a home -- crashing with friends and storing her possessions between varied locations. The only constant in Van Etten's life during this time was spent in the garage studio of The National's Aaron Dessner.
A two year journey brought her to that point of instability. Upon the release of epic (Ba Da Bing; 2010), Sharon Van Etten surprised the music world with a touching embrace. Having established herself as a reliable performer around New York, and coming off the release of her spartan first effort, Because I Was In Love (Language of Stone; 2009), Van Etten created a short album of diverse songs connected by a shared goal of expanded sound and her unmistakable voice. Fans quickly picked favorites, discovered their choices changing, then changing yet again. That is the magic of epic; the intricate, understated record covered so much ground within its 33 minutes, it required more than an initial half hour to absorb. Since epic's release, she has opened the Pitchfork Music Festival, played The Hollywood Bowl with Neko Case and at Radio City Music Hall with The Antlers, sung on new records for Beirut and Ed Askew, and collaborated with Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and Megafaun on the Songs Of The South project.
Dessner, the guitarist of The National, heard Van Etten early on, Dessner covered "Love More" from epic in collaboration with Justin Vernon. Van Etten contacted Dessner, and almost immediately they formed plans for working together. Dessner offered both a location for Van Etten to record new songs, as well as the opinions of a wise producer.
One year later, and Van Etten unveils Tramp, an album showcasing an artist in full control of her powers. Tramp contains as much striking rock (the precise venom of "Serpents," the overwhelming power of "Ask"), as pious, minimal beauty (the earnest solemnity of "All I Can," the breathtaking "Kevins," "Joke or a Lie"); it can be as emotionally combative ("Give Out") as it can sultry ("Magic Chords"). Contributions from Matt Barrick (Walkmen), Thomas Bartlett (Doveman), Zach Condon (Beirut), Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak), Julianna Barwick, and Dessner himself add a glowing sheen to the already substantial offering.
Van Etten has traveled far, and if her displacement took an emotional toll, she offset those setbacks with a powerfully articulated vision. And so, once again, each listener will discover their own moments along the way, and the debates as to the best song start anew.

You may remember last year when the federal transportation bill was up for renewal (again) and this time, Congress finally passed a new one. It seemed like every other day brought a new attack on bike/ped funding. I sent letter after letter urging senators and representatives to oppose this amendment or support that one. For a while there it looked like bike/ped funding might be eliminated entirely—saving almost nothing, since bike/ped was less than 2% of the entire transportation budget. Despite our efforts, MAP-21 was a disappointment with bike/ped funding slashed about 50%. But without fighting we could easily have seen it gone entirely.
This year, we've got a similar fight ahead of us in the state legislature. MoDOT is broke. As cars get more efficient the fuel tax brings in less revenue. MoDOT shut down several offices and eliminated hundreds of jobs, but even with these cutbacks it does not have the resources to maintain Missouri highways.
MoDOT proposes a 1% sales tax to pay for our highways. A new tax is never popular and it's going to be a hard sell. MoDOT needs supporters. This is an opportunity to make our voice heard, to tell MoDOT that we will support a 1% sales tax if we have some assurance that the transportation needs of all highway users will be met. Thus, the Transportation for Missouri coalition. From their website:
Transportation for Missouri is a coalition of Missouri organizations, agencies, municipalities, businesses, and elected officials who support a modern, multimodal, complete transportation system that will meet the needs of strong, healthy, vibrant, livable communities for all Missouri citizens.
T4MO supports:
a complete, accessible, and multimodal transportation system that meets the needs of all Missourians. transparency and accountability in transportation spending. local public input in setting transportation priorities.
Does your organization, agency, municipality, or business support the Transportation for Missouri platform? Are you an elected official who supports our platform? Become a Transportation for Missouri Coalition Partner and help us work for a healthier, more livable transportation system for all Missourians.

Please check the status of this specification in Launchpad before editing it. If it is Approved, contact the Assignee or another knowledgeable person before making changes.
Launchpad entry: https://launchpad.net/products/upstart/+spec/event-completion
Once events reach the top of the queue, they are passed to the jobs and forgotten about. There is no way to determine when the effect of an event has finished. This specification proposes keeping a record of events currently in the process of being handled, and tracking when the handling has finished.
Being able to track the completion of events is useful for user interface reasons, as well as allowing us to serialise events or determine their failure.
Use cases
initctl emit should not return until the event has been handled, and in the mean time should show the effect it has.
We currently issue a shutdown event such as reboot once the system is idle after a shutdown event, it would be much cleaner (and less error-prone) to issue it once the shutdown event finished.
- It would be useful for startup, as we could then issue a series of events one after the other.
We wish to perform job serialisation, so that dbus is not stopped until all sub-services are stopped first.
This specification extends the changes defined in GoalChangeEvent to allow tracking of that event, and determining when it has completed. Further uses are defined by other specifications.
- When an event is taken off the queue and emitted, it will be put into a new list of events currently in the process of being handled. It's this new structure that will be referred to from the job.
Any job will release its hold on the event once it reaches the JOB_STOPPED state.
A job with service or respawn specified (a service) will also release its hold on the event once it reaches the JOB_RUNNING state.
If a job fails (as defined by the JobFailedEvent specification), the event will also be marked as failed.
- When an event has been handled, if it was marked as failed, an event will be issued.
This event will be named for the event that failed, with /failed appended to the name.
on startup/failed
- The arguments and environment will be identical to the failing event.
on network-interface-up/failed eth0
Events ending in /failed do not issue a /failed event if they fail.
A new EventEmission structure will be defined in init/event.h as follows:
typedef struct event_emission { Event *event; int jobs; int failed; EventEmittedCb callback; void *data; } EventEmission;
These point to the Event structure, and use that structure's list entry to store themselves in a list. Both the queue and handling lists will use this structure, yet retaining polymorphism for events as well.
The jobs member indicates the number of jobs that have not yet completed, once this reaches zero, the emission structure is automatically removed and freed.
Before the structure is freed, the callback function will be run, passing the emission structure and the user data. This function is specified when the event is queued, and can be used to perform a next step now that the event has completed.
The goal_event member of the Job structure is changed to be:
EventEmission *goal_event;
During job_change_state in init/job.c, if we reach the appropriate state for the job, we call a new event_finished function. This function decrements the jobs member, and returns to indicate whether the emission has completed or not. Either way, we clear the goal_event member.
The failed member is set by job_child_reaper in init/job.c if it emits the failed event.
event_emission_finished will emit the /failed event if the event was so marked.
Subscription code in init/control.c will be extended so that a subscription can be added for a particular event emission; any changes occurring due to this event will be notified to the subscriber, and the subscription cleared by the callback function.
Data preservation and migration
These changes are backwards compatible with the previous behaviour.

Backed by a big final 12 minutes from junior running back Kirk Johnson, Valley Christian defeated St. Francis 21-14 Friday night at Valley Christian High.
Johnson had runs of 40, 31 and 53 yards in the final quarter, including a 31-yard touchdown run up the middle off a double handoff.
Johnson finished the game with 247 yards on the ground off 28 carries.
After a combined 15 punts through three quarters and some change, each side found the end zone twice down the stretch.
A key member of the wild finish was St. Francis senior Landon Baty, who caught a 9-pass touchdown pass from William Fisher-Colbrie and took a kick back 90 yards to pull his team within one score.
An onside kick was recovered after the special teams score, but the Lancers drive stalled at the Valley Christian 40.
Both teams came into the matchup 3-2 in league play and played each other to a draw for the majority of the first half.
With less than a minute to play in the half, burly Warriors running back Johnson pulled off the run of the day in highlight reel fashion. Several defenders failed to bring the runner down as Johnson navigating his way towards the Lancers end zone on the longest play of the half — a 38-yard run.
One play later, quarterback Michael Machado hit sophomore Collin Johnson on a fade pass for the four-yard touchdown. The score with only 20 ticks left in the first half gave the home team a touchdown lead after one half.
St. Francis was held to only 28 yards of offense in the first half, all coming on the ground. The stingy Warriors defensive run bottled up the run and didn't allow quarterback Fisher-Colbrie to get settled in the pocket.

Senior wide receiver Joseph Romero caught three TD passes from senior quarterback Anthony McBride, including the one that preceded kicker Nick Paterniti's game-winning extra point with 6:50 remaining, as the Piedmont Hills Pirates edged the Willow Glen Rams 28-27in a BVAL Mt. Hamilton Division thriller.
Kenny Nguyen rushed for several fourth-quarter first downs to put Piedmont Hills in position to earn the win, which gives the Pirates a chance to earn a share of the division crown next week against Pioneer.
Willow Glen was driving to score in the game's final minute before an illegal participation penalty thwarted the Rams' momentum. "I didn't know the rule well, but the refs caught it and my staff caught it," Piedmont Hills coach Matt Kiesle said. After the penalty, the Pirates forced a turnover on downs and then took a knee.
Junior running back Hakeem Mays led Willow Glen with 368 yards and three touchdowns on 42 carries. He also had an interception on defense. "He was unbelievable tonight, but we managed to keep him out of the end zone enough and score enough," Kiesle said.
