More tragedy as a family learns their loved one won't be coming home from Iraq. Sgt. David Jones of Augusta was killed Saturday in a bombing. His co-workers at the Richmond County jail were looking forward to a dedicated worker and friend making it back home.
"I'd see David and he's always smiling, always friendly, he had a loud kinda gruff voice," said Captain Gene Johnson, Jail Administrator.
It was a voice Sgt. David Jones' co-workers at the Richmond County Jail heard not too long ago. The deputy jailer serving in Iraq called home to say he was doing okay.
"They told me on his shift that he had called about 3-4 weeks ago," Johnson said.
Sgt. Jones left back in January to serve with Georgia's 48th Combat Brigade. He left his wife and three children at home, but he also left a circle of friends and co-workers like family. He'd worked at the Richmond County Jail just over seven years.
Deputy Elizabeth Brown remembers "Jonesy" as the class clown.
"Whenever you'd go back and forth through the doors, he'd always have something funny to say, a joke, a smile, it felt good to work with him," Brown said.
Blondie was Sgt. Jones' nickname for Deputy Brown. They started on the same shift and she was looking forward to another homecoming.
"We knew he was coming back because this was his second time because he had went before and came back and we just knew he was coming home," Brown said.
But the call came Sunday night that he wasn't.
"It was a tragedy, he was defending his country and when he was here in the states he was defending his community," Johnson said.
Eight people from Georgia's 48th Combat Brigade have died in bombings in Iraq in just over a week.
At the Law Enforcement Center, there's a board in one of the hallways with a big yellow ribbon and pictures. You see 21 photographs of workers and family members deployed overseas. The board symbolizes support for those who aren't home yet, who've been injured, and those whose lives were taken fighting for our country.

St. George Island, Florida- August 27, 2012
Residents and visitors along our coast are are preparing for Isaac's impact.
Everybody seems to be taking it in stride. It's all pretty relaxed, the way you'd picture a beach town to be. We've seen plenty of people out and about even surfing but we also saw truck beds filled with gas cans and supplies. If you're looking for a generator, you won't find one here.
Gas cans? Only a handful left.
Taylor's Building Supply was even open when it's normally closed knowing people would need to stop and shop.
Said Ken Fish of Taylor's Building Supply: "A lot of people were getting their flashlights and their batteries and their water."
Generators were some of the first things to go.
But other storm supplies weren't too far behind.
"Gas tank, lanterns etc," listed Fish.
The mandatory evacuation in Franklin County has people leaving St George island but many are choosing to stay.
Justin Fischer flew from Atlanta to help his family get ready.
"We didn't know how bad it was going to be so we decided I'd come down and help him board up."
Now he's bored because Monday's weather wasn't as crazy as he expected.
As far as his plans for the day, Fischer said: "Probably just eat and watch some TV."
People here are mostly concerned about storm surge and flooding. Ken Fish, from the hardware store lives along Hwy 98 that runs through Eastpoint near St. George. He says parts of 98 flood whenever they get weather like this and that's what they're concerned about. They're nervous about power as well because during Tropical Storm Debby the island was dark for 5 days.

After moving into a first-place tie with a win over Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City, the Montevideo boys basketball team had its five-game winning streak snapped by MACCRAY.
Montevideo will travel to Sauk Centre today (Thursday). The T-Hawks will host BOLD Tuesday.
Montevideo 77, ACGC 62
The Thunder Hawks handed the visitng Falcons their first conference loss here Friday.
With a distinct height advantage over ACGC, the T-Hawks dominated the boards got inside for numerous easy baskets in the first half.
That opened the way for Montevideo's three-point shooting in the second half. Montevideo made eight of their nine three-point baskets after intermission — five of them by Jordan Thompson.
Jesse Brace scored 19 of his career-high 32 points in the second half to keep the Falcons at bay.
MACCRAY 51, Monte 48
Carter Asche's three-point basket with 4 seconds to play lifted MACCRAY to a 51-48 non-conference win over Montevideo Monday at Clara City.
Troy Diggins, who led Montevideo in scoring with 15 points, made a pair of free throws with 15 seconds left to tie the game.
Montevideo scored the first 11 points of the second half to erase a four-point halftime deficit.
The T-Hawks played without senior guard Jesse Brace, who is sidelined with a knee injury. Brace is Montevideo's leading scorer, averaging 18 points per game.

How to Draw Fall Fashions
Capture the jean jacket look for a guy.
Sketch a male front torso. Create a boxy look by drawing side seams that come straight down from the armpit to the waist. Add a slight curve for the hem and place four buttons to the right of the center front line.
Draw the collar, neckline, and additional buttons. Draw a V under the chin to show the jacket slightly open. For the collar, add some triangles on both sides and a curve going around the neck. Add buttons on the left side of the open part of the center front line and buttonholes on the other.
Add in boxy sleeves down to the wrist. The fit of a jean jacket requires a slightly dropped armhole seam, so be sure to draw the armhole seam a little farther down than you would for a woman.
On both sides of the center front line, add in pockets and lines for fitting. Don't forget to add a seam line at the cuff of the sleeve. Finish the drawing by adding rows of topstitching next to every seam line

Need some serious help. I have a Vizio TV capable of streaming from computers, I think. It detects my computers on the network but can't access the files. I read somewhere else that someone managed to make it work by using the PMS program, since the TV requires a DLNA server-type thing. However, PMS doesn't detect the tv at all. It says I have no renderers detected. IN fact, it oesn't even tell me I have any MEDIA renderers.
I've used this program before with an actual PS3. I barely know what I'm doing, so if anyone could help, it would be appreciated.

Hi y'all!!! I have been enjoying a WONDERFUL vacation in Colorado the past 9 days – I cannot tell you how much more comfortable life on a mountain is compared to life on the sun! We all had a fabulous time. I even managed to enjoy myself WITHOUT my sewing machine. weird & shocking, but true!
However, I was JONESING!!! So tonight, in true me fashion, I had to make something uber quick to satisfy the sewing withdrawal symptoms. I chose to make something for Owen. Yes, you read that right. Something for Owen.
While Owen is only 5, I can assure you he has very particular
demands taste when it comes to his clothes. Nothing itchy, nothing bulky, nothing sleeves, you get the point. Even his choices for fabric prints are very particular. This is why you almost never see anything on this blog made for him. In his mind, he has good taste. In my mind he's boring!
Fortunately, last month, while browsing Etsy for fun fabric for a baby shower gift I came across this fabulous print – RV CAMPERS!!!
If you've never been to Austin, just take my word for it – these are EVERYWHERE HERE!!! As of tonight, they are even in my home.
Want to know a little secret???
You have to promise not to tell Owen that I made these pajamas from this pattern…
These were super easy and super fast and pretty cheap – $6. ($5 for the fabric and $1 for the pattern) My only regret is that I didn't buy a ton more of this fabulous fabric!
Have a great night – see you in a day or two!

Warm Today, But Rain, Cold Front to Follow
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 7:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 7:59 a.m.
Spring break beachgoers may want to soak in today's sunshine and warmth.
Meteorologists are predicting rain showers Tuesday, followed by a cool front that will last most of the week.
But warm weather will return for the weekend, said Bay News 9 meteorologist Brian McClure.
The fickle weather comes as many local colleges and schools are out for spring break and students flock to Pinellas County beaches. For many students, each beach day is much-anticipated.
"The best day of the week for them will be Monday. That will be the most sunshine," McClure said. "The front will come through on Tuesday with rain showers, and behind it is a 10 degree, if not 15 degree, drop-off."
The University of South Florida, University of Tampa, Hillsborough Community College, Pasco-Hernando Community College and Hillsborough County public schools are all on break this week.
According to Bay News 9, Wednesday and Thursday will be partly cloudy, with daytime temperatures reaching around 67 degrees Thursday in Tampa. Clouds are likely to dissipate by the weekend, with temperatures rebounding to the high 70s.
Weather always fluctuates at this time of year, McClure said.
"You kind of get everything — rain chance, warm air, cool air," he said. "This is very typical for March."

If kids love the Guppies' furry friend, surprise them with their own! This puppy is easy to make--simply print and trace our templates to colored felt and glue the pieces together as instructed.
Weekdays on NICK
Prepare your work area by assembling all the craft items you'll need for making your pillow creation, then print out the Bubble Puppy Plush Doll Templates.
Cut out the templates and trace them onto the appropriate color felt sheets as indicated. Cut the felt sheets along traced lines. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Either fleece or felt can be used to make these pillows, but felt works best, especially for the face details. Grown-ups should cut out the pieces, while your preschool helper assembles the face details using the full-color final pillow template as a guide.
Help your child apply the face details to the front pillow panel. A grown-up should apply the glue to and place the face pieces on the body panel. Apply light pressure to ensure the pieces stay in place. Fabri-Tac and similar products are quick-drying. For Bubble Puppy's eyes and nose reflections, either draw them with white fabric paint or cut out two tiny circles from white felt. You may also choose to draw in the eyebrows or use felt.
Once the eyes, mouth, nose and ears have been glued down, glue the dog collar and arms to the front panel as well.

 Next, use several beads of glue between the front and back panel edges and press the edges together until the glue takes (about a minute). Once the bottom of the body has dried, begin stuffing with batting and continue gluing the sides together. Try not to over-stuff the pillow, as this will make it difficult to glue the sides together. Keep gluing and pressing all the edges until the pillow is sealed on all sides. At last, glue on Bubble Guppies tail.

 Allow the pup to dry before handing it over to its pint-sized owner!

Justin Bieber apologized for smoking pot -- sort of -- while hosting Saturday Night Live last weekend.
While in character as the president of the Miley Cyrus Fan Club on "The Miley Cyrus Show" sketch, he scolded Cyrus (played by Vanessa Bayer) for being friends with "that douche Justin Bieber."
"You're kidding me right. He looks like a lesbian ... . I heard he still has his baby teeth," he said. "I also heard he got busted for smoking weed and he's really sorry about it and people make mistakes and he's never gonna do it again."
Of course he won't.
Following his January breakup with Selena Gomez, photos of Bieber smoking marijuana at a party emerged on the Internet. More recent reports put him at a another party smoking pot and drinking "sizzurp" -- a combination of promethazine/codeine cough syrup and soda.
OMG, you guys. Maybe he was just, like, sick or something.

EAGLE COUNTY - The community's emotional response surrounding the story of a cancer stricken child who loved the Eagle Valley High School Devils football team was real, but the Vail Daily learned Saturday that the child was not.
Some local residents closely involved with the story took their suspicious to the Eagle Police Department Friday. A subsequent investigation showed that claims involving the child were false. The Eagle County Coroner's office has verified there is no death certificate in Colorado associated with the child. The photo of "Alex" has been traced back to a Kids Cancer Crusade website and is identified as Connor Gerber, a South African boy who is still alive.
Briana Augustenborg, 22, of Avon is the focus of the investigation. Eagle Police were able to contact her Saturday but Chief Rodger McLaughlin said the investigation is ongoing and he cannot comment further. The Avon Police Department is assisting in the case. The Vail Daily could not reach Augustenborg Saturday for comment.
The incident began a couple of weeks ago when Augustenborg, a co-worker of Eagle Valley High School football mom Holly Sandoval, shared a story about a little boy she was close to who she said was terminally ill with leukemia. Augustenborg told Sandoval that "Alex" was a huge football fan and he was closely following the Devils as they rolled up victories this fall. Sandoval offered to share the story with her son, who is a member of the team, and get a signed football for the little fan.
"I dragged my son into this and I feel terrible about it," Sandoval said. "I just wanted this little boy to be happy if these were his final days."
The team drew inspiration from the story and teammates starting talking about it to other kids. Facebook messages began popping up on the team's page and parents learned about Alex and his heartbreaking story.
At the recent Fall Festival in Gypsum, KSKE radio was doing a live remote and Augustenborg approached D.J. Jordon Lyles. He was aware of the Alex story because of the Facebook posts and after speaking with Augustenborg, he dedicated songs to Alex during the event.
"It just took my heart," Lyles said.
During the next week, Augustenborg and others continued to make song requests for Alex and the story started spread.
"I fed the story to the media and I feel really guilty about it," said Eagle Valley High School parent Debby Beard.
After hearing about the story from school parents, I, the editor of the Eagle Valley Enterprise, met with Augustenborg on Oct. 23 for an interview. That conversation resulted in an Oct. 25 front-page story about Alex, which also appeared in the Vail Daily the same day. During the interview, Augustenborg asked that Alex's last name be omitted at the request of his parents. She also requested her own last name be omitted.
When asked if she was collecting contributions for the family, Augustenborg said the family did not need money, but they did want people to know Alex's story and they were overwhelmed and comforted by all the support they were receiving from the Eagle Valley High School community. That support reached a zenith on Oct. 26 during the Devils' football game against Palisade. Augustenborg said it was Alex's final wish to attend that game, but on Oct. 25 she announced via Facebook that Alex had died.
In retrospect, that was the pattern with the Alex story. He was supposed to be at the Eagle Valley High School vs. Battle Mountain High School game, but Augustenborg canceled at the last minute when he "suffered a seizure." She scheduled meetings with local people and Alex's parents, but at the last minute a medical crisis prevented them from coming.
At the Palisade game, which was played one day after Alex's supposed death, the students and parents at Eagle Valley High School wore orange in memory of the boy. The football team sported specially purchased orange socks. The cheerleaders had orange shirts on and at half-time, the dance team spelled out "Alex" with their pompoms.
Last week, Augustenborg submitted an obituary for "Alexander Jordon" and kept up Facebook postings on his page. As of Saturday morning her Alexander Jordon page had nearly 1,000 likes. But her obsessive behavior became a concern for staff at KSKE and they brought those concerns to Sandoval, Beard and myself. After contact with the coroner failed to turn up a death certificate for the boy, we contacted police.
As the people most closely involved in the story look back on the events surrounding the Alex hoax, they all spoke about how guilty they feel for their roles in perpetuating the falsehood. They also speak about how proud they feel about the way the community rose up to support a child in an effort to make his final days happy ones.
"This story just shows the best of human nature and the worst of human nature," said Holli Synder, general manager of NRC Broadcasting, parent company of KSKE.
"I want to tell the kids and the community we are really proud of the way they stepped up and responded," Beard said.
"I does show the caring of the kids and community. I went to the kids and asked them to sign a football and all of this happened," Sandoval said. "It shows the integrity of our coaches and the kids behind them and the caring of the community."
"This story took my heart," Lyles said. "We are all just good people, when it comes right down to it."

Checking Timing An access plug is provided in the cam drive belt cover so that camshaft timing can be checked without removal of the cover or any other parts. 1. Remove the access plug from the cam drive belt cover. 2. Rotate the crankshaft so that the No. 1 piston is rising on compression stroke. 3. Set the crankshaft to TDC by aligning the timing mark on the crank pulley with the TC mark on the belt cover. Always turn the engine in the direction of normal rotation (clockwise, as viewed from the front). Backward rotation may cause the timing belt to jump time, due to the arrangement of the belt tensioner. 4. Look through the access hole in the belt cover to make sure that the timing mark on the cam drive sprocket is lined up with the pointer on the inner belt cover. 5. Install the belt cover access plug. Adjusting Timing Belt SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL(S) REQUIRED Description Crankshaft Belt Tension Adjusting Tool T74P-6254-A 1. Remove the outer timing belt cover as outlined in this section. CAUTION: Attempting to adjust timing belt tension without loosening spring pivot bolt will break Crankshaft Belt Tension Adjusting Tool T74P-6254-A when relieving tension on the belt. 2. If belt timing or tension is incorrect, loosen timing belt spring pivot bolt. 3. Hold tensioner with Camshaft Belt Tension Adjusting Tool T74P-6254-A. 4. While holding tensioner, loosen adjusting bolt and gradually release spring tension. Loosening Timing Belt Tensioner, 2.3L Tool Number 8 — 5. Using adjusting tool, pry tensioner away from belt. While holding, tighten adjusting bolt. There should be no tension on belt. Camshaft Timing Belt, 2.3L I-4 Timing Mark on Camshaft Sprocket Remove the bolts holding the crankshaft position sensor in place and pull the sensor assembly free of the dowel pin. 7. Remove the crankshaft pulley , crankshaft pulley hub and timing belt guide. 8. Remove the drive belt and inspect it for wear or damage. If the belt is damaged, replace it. 9. Remove one spark plug from each cylinder. 10. If not done: a. Loosen tensioner adjusting bolt. b. Using Camshaft Belt Tension Adjusting Tool T74P-6254-A, pry tensioner clockwise against spring tension as far as possible. c. Tighten adjusting bolt to hold tensioner in released position. 11. Align crankshaft so number one piston is at TDC (top dead center) as indicated by timing mark. 12.

Wolcott's Caouette excited to be leading Avon's program
After longing to be a head football coach on the high school level for about two decades, Wolcott's Jim Caouette finally got his wish recently.
Caouette, a former assistant coach with three Naugatuck Valley League schools, as well as Cheshire, was recently hired as the head coach at Avon High.
He succeeded Brett Quinion.
The Falcons, which lost to New Canaan in the Class L playoffs last season, compete in the Pequot Conference. They will play in the newly formed Western Division this season, which features several Litchfield County teams — Gilbert-Northwestern, Lewis Mills, Housatonic-Wamogo and Nonnewaug.
The Falcons' school colors are navy blue and white with a touch of red.
"I will be able to keep a little bit of Cheshire red and Wolcott red with me," said Caouette, 39, and a 1991 Wolcott High graduate.
"In the past few years, I have applied for a lot of jobs and gotten down to the final two a number of times," noted Caouette. "For one reason or another, I lost out, but I remained patient."
When Avon's job opened, he was interviewed by two people with NVL ties, athletic director Newell Porch, the former Torrington AD, and Avon superintendent Gary Mala, a Holy Cross graduate and former Naugatuck High principal.
"I can't thank them enough for giving me the opportunity," said Caouette, works out of his house as a senior corporate recruiter for HNTB, an engineering company.
Caouette credits all of the head coaches he worked for in the past, including Joe Monroe (formerly of Wolcott), Mark Ecke (formerly of Cheshire), Chris Anderson (formerly of Woodland) and Patrick Russo (formerly of Wolcott and Wilby).
"Without them, I wouldn't have gotten this job," said Caouette. "They all helped put me in a position to run my own program."
His assistant coaching resume is extensive: Wolcott (1993-2001), Cheshire (2002-03), Wolcott (2004), Western Connecticut State University (2005), Woodland (2006-07), Wolcott (2008-10) and Wilby (2011).
Last summer, Caouette was on the New Haven County staff in the Hall of Fame Classic.
Porch said Caouette won over the committee with his versatile experience.
"He has already brought enthusiasm and a personality that I believe will be infectious with our players to help them relate and buy into his expectations," said Porch. "We feel Jim will be able to bring a long-term commitment to our program and community."
Caouette and his wife, Stacey, have four children — sons Michael, 9 and twins, Derek and Drew, 6, and daughter MacKenzie, 3.
Caouette said he will reach out to other coaches in the Pequot Conference to get to know the league. He also said he would be remiss if he didn't thank Woodland coach Tim Shea, Holy Cross coach Mike Giampetruzzi and Ecke for their willingness to let Caouette bounce ideas off of them.
Caouette, who already has an office at Avon High, will hold 10 days of spring practice to get more acclimated with the program.
"I'm in this for the long haul," said Caouette. "My goal is for us to be a consistent playoff contender."
Avon is graduating 19 seniors, including running back Colin Moore, who ran for over 2,000 yards and earned the state's Gatorade Player of the Year.
Torrington update: The position of a new Torrington High head football coach is getting closer to being filled.
"We're in the process and we are moving forward," Torrington High athletic director Mike McKenna. "There should be an announcement soon, (possibly) by the middle of next week."
Former coach Dan Dunaj resigned in early January after compiling a 30-21 record in five seasons. The Red Raiders went 6-4 in 2012, winning their final four games.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The usually talkative Dusty Baker warned reporters that he would be briefer than usual Friday.
He was on a word count.
"I'm feeling great, but I have to make sure that I'm right for the game -- and the whole game," Baker said.
Still recovering from the mini-stroke he suffered two weeks ago, the manager was saving his strength for Saturday, when his Cincinnati Reds open a best-of-five playoff National League Division Series against the Giants at AT&T Park.
Baker, 63, is trying again -- in his 19th season as manager -- to capture the World Series title he came so tantalizingly close to winning with the Giants.
In fact, the last time Baker managed a playoff game at this ballpark was Game 5 of the World Series in 2002, a game best remembered for J.T. Snow scooping up Darren Baker, then a toddler batboy, after the manager's son wandered into harm's way at home plate.
That 16-4 Giants win was the giddy high point before things unraveled in Anaheim in Games 6 and 7.
"Sometimes it stings at me, but you've got to leave it in the past,'' Baker said. "I'm still here. I have an opportunity to win a championship. And it lets you know that time never stops."
Baker is the first manager to lead Cincinnati to multiple playoff appearances since Sparky Anderson, who did it five times with the Big Red Machine from 1970-76.
But Baker's second division title in three years has been overshadowed by the stroke that kept him away from the dugout during the Reds' stretch drive.
Just minutes from being released from Chicago's Northwestern Hospital on Sept. 21, Baker suffered what would be diagnosed as a mini-stroke. He was getting ready to put on his clothes when a nurse asked him to say his name.
When Baker couldn't, she summoned a doctor and the hospital's stroke team swooped in.
On Friday, Baker referred to hearing the incident described as a "health scare."
"I wasn't really that scared," Baker said. "If that's going to happen to you, it might as well happen while you're in the hospital, right? I mean, shoot, if they can't take care of me, who can?"
The hospital's efforts stemmed the effects of an episode that could have been much worse. That's why Baker keeps referring to himself as "blessed." Given the nature of a baseball schedule, he could have been on the road or in an airplane.
Still, between his original hospitalization for an irregular heartbeat and the stroke that followed, Baker was away from the team from Sept. 19-30. The Reds went 7-4 during that stretch under bench coach Chris Speier, another former Giant.
Looking leaner, if a bit fatigued, Baker said Friday that he was feeling so good this week that he even went to dinner Thursday with "a couple of my homeboys" -- and without the supervision of his daughter. Natosha Baker has kept her dad on a strict diet of healthy food like couscous, oatmeal and turkey burgers.
"She wants her dad to live a long time, and I do, too," he said.
Baker has shed about 22 pounds. If he lacks in energy, it's only at the media podium. Around the batting cage and on the field, he looked like the charismatic figure who managed in San Francisco from 1993-2002.
"He's in really good spirits and good health," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said Friday during the Reds workout. "He had a little scare. He's back stronger and better than ever -- we're very fortunate.
"We were all very concerned, obviously. The doctors ... assured us right away that he was fully recovered and that everything would be fine, and they got everything early enough and got him treated right away and prevented everything from getting worse."
Baker laughed often as he greeted old friends such as Will Clark, who gave him a big hug in front of the Giants dugout.
Baker's current players love him, too. With 1,581 career victories, Baker ranks 19th on the all-time list. Only Jim Leyland (1,676) has more victories among active managers.
He's among the active leaders in being second-guessed, too, but Reds first baseman Joey Votto said Baker "catches a lot of flak for the wrong things."
"I'm not going to be specific, but it's unfair,'' Votto recently told MLB.com. "There are too many things that are complicated behind the scenes. A lot of people want things to be cookie-cutter and fall in line.
"He's very good at reading people and reading situations and playing things by ear. The safe play is not always the play he makes. But with his experience and read of people, I think he's ahead of the curve of what most fans and critics know about managing."

I got the chance to play the course a few times this weekend. (But not as much as Gary!)
It was good to see several people out playing. Just a reminder that we are not yet finished. There are benches and trash cans and signs to install, grass needs to grow, and a bridge needs to be built. I know those will all be done in short order.
Here are a few thoughts on how the course plays:
WIND: The wind seems to blow - a lot. It is named Windflower Park and having lived next to it for several years I can attest to the fact that the winds blows - a lot. It seems to affect nearly every shot you take. The park has several trees, but there is no wooded area.
CREEK: This thing seems to eat discs. The good thing is you can climb in and get your disc back, the bad thing is the creek bank and bottom are muddy and in some places it is very steep. The creek is in play on 10 of the 12 holes - some more so than others.
Hole 4: This is where we need to build a bridge. Right now you have to jump across the creek to hole out. For most people this isn't a problem, but some of us have bad backs and bum knees. You can walk around to your left - and the extra walking is good exercise. Be patient until the bridge is built and don't jump if your not certain you can make it.
Hole 8: While the hole is pretty straight forward, you need to be aware that just beyond the basket the drop off to the creek is steep. The bank is very muddy and there is a deep hole in the water - so deep you will have trouble seeing your disc if you make a poor shot. If it goes in here it will require a real effort to retrieve it. I've already seen a few land here.
Hole 10: If you choose to play on the left of the tree you will bring some peoples' back yards into play. Some of them have dogs. Some of the dogs are BIG. If your disc lands in someone's back yard I suggest you walk around and knock on their door and ask to retrieve the wayward disc. Let's them know that disc golfers are respectful of their property.
Hole 11: Same as hole 10 with the backyards and dogs. With both holes I don't see this as a huge issue unless the wind takes it or you make a bad throw. One other thing on hole 11 - right now the ground is really soft around the basket - muddy in places. As things dry out it wont be a huge issue. Just something to be aware of, especially after it rains.
Since the ground may be soft or you may be going into the creek to get a disc, you want to throw an extra pair of shoes in your car. Just a thought...

The rising gas prices are hurting more than your pocketbook. Governor Sonny Perdue cancelled class Monday and Tuesday to save on rising diesel fuel costs. Now children are home and some parents are in a bind.
Four o'clock Friday was the first notice parents got. Dayspring Baptist Church is offering free daycare, but they didn't have much time to get the message out.
The first some parents heard the offer was Sunday morning. The governor's decision put Malia Ohley's working mom in a jam because she couldn't leave work early.
"There was some concern, but I can watch her cause I'm older," Malia said.
When daycare got out at 12:30, Malia made sure her little sister had a ride. But not all families are this fortunate. Jane Stover works for Columbia County schools and volunteers at Dayspring.
"For some parents, it was very short notice to find someone to watch their kids," Stover said.
Her daughter Stephanie doesn't seem to mind the last minute change.
"You usually have to do all this work, and it feels like Saturday," 8-year-old Stephanie said.
If only it were that easy for the parents. They still have one more day of rearranging schedules. But older siblings like Malia make things a little easier.
"This is a good place to bring your kids," Malia said.
Daycare is also free tomorrow. It is for children from four years old to fifth grade and they need to bring a lunch. Click here for directions.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team will face Central Arkansas for its first Southland Conference series on the road when they travel to Conway, Ark. for the three-game tilt. The teams will play a 6 p.m. on Friday, 4 p.m. on Saturday, and they have moved up the final game to 12 p.m. on Sunday to accommodate the visitor's travel plan.
The Islanders are currently 10-12 on the year, including a 3-3 mark in Southland Conference play. UCA is 8-9 overall, with an identical 3-3 mark in league play. The two teams went about it in different ways, with Texas A&M – Corpus Christi taking 2-of-3 from UTSA, before suffering a 1-2 weekend against Southeastern Louisiana. The Bears swept Lamar to open league play, and were in turn swept by McNeese during the second conference weekend.
The Islanders are led offensively by Eric Weiss with a .301 batting average. Weiss is the only regular player with an average above .300 on the team. Drew Vest is second on the team with a .286 average. Kyle Danford leads the team with 12 RBI, while Weiss is second at nine this season.
The strong point of the Islanders has been the pitching staff, with the team sporting a 3.74 ERA, including six pitchers with an ERA under 3.00 on the year. Of the pitchers, Sunday starter Daniel Minor leads the way with a 0.99 ERA and Southland-best 43 strikeouts. He is also second in innings pitched and third in opponent batting average. He is 4-1 on the year, as is Adam Hoelscher. The Friday night starter, Hoelscher has a 3.77 ERA in 31.0 innings pitched. Saturday starter Tim Keller has had some hard luck so far this season, as he is 0-3 on the year even though he has just a 2.83 ERA.
Forrestt Allday and his .439 batting average lead the Bears, while Bryan Wilson is the second-leading hitter at .348 on the year. Caleb McClanahan leads the starters with a 2.50 ERA, while Jeffery Enloe is at 3.42 and Ryan Angus rounds out the weekend rotation with a 4.82 ERA.
Live stats and video will be available through Central Arkansas by visiting www.UCAGameday.com.

History and Geography of Cairns
No further Europeans visited the region again until gold was discovered at the Palmer River, east of Cooktown, some 260 kilometers north of Cairns, in 1872. Gold called thousands of prospectors to the region in the coming years.
Trinity Inlet became known for its excellent natural harbor when George Dalrymple explored the coastline in around 1873. But Cairns was not officially established until October 1876, when settlers arrived on board the SS Porpoise. Cairns was originally known as Thornton, after the collector of customs in Brisbane, William Thornton; and then Dickson, after the colonial treasurer at the time. The town was eventually named Cairns after the first governor of Queensland, Sir William Wellington Cairns.Mostly swamp and wetlands, Trinity Inlet and its surrounding countryside were flat land that was loved by birds but pretty much inaccessible and too unstable for humans.Settling the region was not easy. Mostly swamp and wetlands, Trinity Inlet and its surrounding countryside were flat land that was loved by birds but pretty much inaccessible and too unstable for humans. Yet the early settlers were a determined lot, and in October 1876, the Esplanade, or the Troughton Esplanade as it was originally known, was the first surveyed street in young Cairns. Permanent buildings were slow to be erected, with most settlers living in tents, while building priority was given to wharves and storage sheds. The outlook was bleak—the growing city competed with richer Port Douglas, established in 1877, and was going broke. By early 1882, Cairns was in the depth of a depression, with only 90 people on the official electoral roll. Light at the end of the tunnel came from the building of the railway line that was to connect the interior Atherton Tablelands through the rainforest and mountain range with Cairns. It was an unbelievable feat of engineering that can still be appreciated today with a trip on the Kuranda Scenic Railway, which follows exactly the historic tracks.
With the revenue from the railways also came the onset of agricultural wealth from the fruit- and dairy-farming tablelands and the sugarcane industry. Cairns prospered and continued to grow. By the early 1900s, the tent city had developed into a town of 11,000 people.
Progress continued steadily, and in World War II the Cairns region played a big part supplying the Allied Forces. After the war, the tourism industry started taking off, but it was not until 1968 that the first passenger jet service started up between Brisbane and Cairns, allowing easier access to the wonders of this previously very secluded region. Currently more than 79 percent of land in Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef is protected, including areas in the Daintree and Cape Tribulation rainforests of the north, the tropical Atherton Tablelands to the west, and Mission Beach to the south.

A lawsuit filed by an Elk Horn man against Taylor Regional Hospital claiming that staff members caused him to have a cardiac episode has been dismissed.
The dismissal comes after a more than two-year legal battle in Taylor Circuit Court.
Greensburg attorney Danny Butler filed the claim in September 2010 on behalf of Weldon Gabehart.
TRH filed its response a month later, denying the allegations.
According to Gabehart's complaint, he was a patient at TRH on Sept. 28, 2009, at the emergency room.

College is overwhelming. When you are not studying, you are working. When you are not working, you are probably trying to have a social life right? And when you are having a social life, you are feeling guilty about not studying. Or is that just me?
Us college students need an escape from school, work, and the crazy social scene. What do I recommend? Volunteering. I am serious! I have been taking some time this year to step back, and look past all the studying, working, and craziness, and start something worthwhile. Are you interested in getting in on this? Well, here is a little bit of advice to get you started.
1.Be a Big Brother / Big Sister
There is nothing more important than being a role model for someone. Whether you are already a biological older sibling, it does not matter. You can be the difference in someone's life. And all it takes is an hour or two a week. That is all. You can cut out a bit of the craziness, right?
2. World Vision's 30 Hour Famine
Do you have a passion and desire to help people all over the world? Did you know that a small child dies every 15 seconds from hunger or hunger related illnesses? By signing up for the World Vision's 30 Hour Famine, giving up food for a mere 30 hours, and doing activities that are similar to the daily actions of someone who is actually living hungry, you can do so much to change lives. You might even change yourself while you're at it.
3. Dance Marathon
For the kids! Come out and have fun with your friends dancing the night away at the Dance Marathon. You will not only be making memories, you'll be raising money for the Children's Miracle Network. You would be one pretty awesome dude.
Ask anyone involved in these programs how incredible they are and they will tell you exactly what I am about it; they are more than worth it. Yes, we are in college and finding time to sleep is hard enough. But finding time to give to others is worth so much more than a couple of zzz's, don't you think?

The fall Off-Broadway season is filled with award-winning actors who have gone behind the limelights to direct
Here are three reasons why you want this guitar from Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, donated directly from Billie Joe to raise money for the chimpanzees (his favorite chimp is Burrito):
1. It's a kick-ass guitar.
2. The guitar you will win isn't just out of the box from a store, it's the one that Billie Joe has been playing at home.
3. Billie Joe will be signing the guitar with a personalized signature TO YOU right before he ships it.
The guitar is the Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137 from Gibson Memphis with a Black Cherry Burst finish.
"Back then, I just wanted to write songs I could be proud of and be able to play in five years," Billie Joe Armstrong said last year of his attitude while creating Green Day's 1994 pop-punk breakthrough Dookie. The LP went on to sell millions and Armstrong — who didn't get the credit he deserved as a writer back in the days of more serious-minded bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam — has amassed one of the most impressive song books of the last 20 years.

Strange issue here!
At "random" times when I turn on my PS3 the PS3 Media Server is not listed on the PS3 media cross bar. But then all I have to do is rescan for servers and then the PS3 finds it right away.
I really wish the PS3 would always find PS3 Media Server everytime when it starts up for the first time. I don't like having to rescan for servers.
Again this is very random when it happens.
Any idea what the problem is? Has anyone else seen this issue?
I also run "PlayOn Media Server" and "WMP 12 media Server" and the PS3 always finds those 2 at start up. Only PS3 Media Server has this issue.
My specs are Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 gHz 4GB of Ram and Windows 7 Beta
This bug happens on both gigabit and wireless connections.
I am seeing this issue happen with every build of PS3 Media Server including the latest Beta Build 1.10.306

Hundreds gather for immigration rally
Published: Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 11:43 p.m.
BIRMINGHAM | Hundreds of people rallied in a downtown park and marched Wednesday as part of a nationwide May Day demonstration to show their support for changing federal immigrations laws.
Participants in the demonstration were largely Hispanic, and many carried signs or U.S. flags and wore white in a show of unity.
Demonstrators shouted: "Who is Alabama? We Are Alabama!" as speakers took the stage for a program held in both Spanish and English.
Charter buses brought participants from as far away as south Alabama and the Tennessee Valley.
Cesar Mata, a native of Mexico who has been living in the Birmingham area for 14 years without legal documents, said federal legislation providing a path to citizenship would help ease the fears of immigrants still worried by Alabama's state crackdown on illegal immigration, most of which was gutted by courts.
"If this ... immigration bill passed, it's going to change my life, 11 million peoples' lives. We going to get out of the shadows," said Mata, 35.
Many demonstrators carried signs with slogans like "Do not deport honest people," and "We are all immigrants."
The Alabama Coalition for Immigrant Justice, which organized the demonstration, said one goal of the protest was to show U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions that Alabamians support immigration reform. Sessions is among the Republican opponents of legislation that critics say amounts to amnesty for people living in the country illegally.
Similar rallies were held in other U.S. cities, and Mata said he hoped they would make a difference in Washington.
"We want the Congress to pass the bill, and we want the president to sign it," he said.

If you want to ponder an overriding football philosophy that could steer Raiders owner Mark Davis deep into the future, I think I would focus more on their most famous former coach than anybody else ...
That would be Jon Gruden, of course.
Now, let me be clear: Gruden is not calling the shots for the Raiders, Reggie McKenzie is.
And Gruden is not coaching the Raiders, Dennis Allen is.
Also, I've written many times that -- despite repeated rumor-mill rippling about Gruden being interested in returning to the Raiders and Davis being interested in bringing him back -- a Great Gruden Return to Oakland doesn't seem immediately likely.
But that doesn't mean Davis hasn't thought about it and doesn't let his mind wander to the prospect of a Gruden Restoration in some near future time frame.
Hey, if Gruden is thinking about leaving his ESPN booth and getting back into coaching, maybe the Raiders would be on the list of interesting teams for him if things were set up right.
If you're an owner and you think Gruden is relatively intrigued by the prospect and you know what kind of electric shock a Gruden return would give the Raiders fan base (and the NFL at large), and ...
You want to improve your franchise generally to A) be better and B) be more attractive to super-candidates like ... well, just like Gruden.
What steps would you want to take before sitting down with him and making that big serious job offer?
Well, mostly, you'd want a quarterback in place, preferably one Gruden really, really likes.
So why wouldn't Davis be curious about Gruden's thoughts on a quarterback these days?
I'm not saying the Raiders will check every move with Gruden in mind, and I'm 100 percent sure McKenzie and Allen should absolutely only pick players that fit what they want to do.
But I think Davis might have some thoughts in this regard, and I think he might have some feelings about players who might qualify as Gruden-types.
Two things are a given about NFL teams' eternal quest to hire Gruden ...
1) He will want a ton of money and a ton of power.
And even if Davis' cash flow isn't good, and his stadium situation remains a bummer, the idea of bringing back Gruden might be worth the extravagant expenditure, at least theoretically.
2) And Gruden will, at the very least, want a good young quarterback in place and probably other very good players in important positions.
So ...
Would Gruden hypothetically want the Raiders to forget about a pass rusher or receiver with the No. 5 draft pick and take Johnny Manziel?
He doesn't fit Allen's model for a young quarterback -- he has made it clear he loves what Drew Brees brings as a leader and a pocket presence, and that's not Manziel right now. But Gruden seemed to go a little gaga over Manziel last month (I know, Gruden goes a little gaga over every player he sees, but it seemed a little different with Manziel) ...
Would Gruden lean to Blake Bortles? He sure saw a ton of the Central Florida quarterback because that's where Gruden is based. Teddy Bridgewater? Derek Carr?
Might be good to know Gruden's true feelings, you think?
Would Gruden want wide receiver Sammy Watkins? Or would he understand the need for a defensive playmaker if Khalil Mack is there?
I'm not saying any of this is likely or that it is at all easy or wise for a franchise to be run by one set of guys ... with the owner possibly wondering how another guy would want the roster set up.
And I think it's at best a 25 percent shot Gruden would even realistically consider taking over a coach/G.M./president role with the Raiders in the next few years. But 25 percent is better than zero percent and 4-12 or 6-10 every year.
So, if you're trying to figure out why some of these things are or aren't happening with the Raiders, and how some things might be decided in the future, I think Gruden is the powerful unspoken and indirect presence, even if he isn't saying anything.

Might Raiders owner Mark Davis be asking himself, "What Would Jon Gruden Do?—¨

October 10, 2005
Columbia County is looking to get rid of gas-guzzling vehicles because of the rising prices. They met Monday to discuss replacing the vehicles they have now with ones that are more fuel-efficient.
The hybrid gas-electric car would help Columbia County cut back on gas. Salesman Donald Tubman has worked with these cars for several years, and he says the roughly $3,000 extra you may pay for a hybrid is well worth it in the end.
"They have been popular with gas prices going up the way they is," Tubman said.
The hybrid uses electricity, gas and a battery to run. It does not run on gas when it idles, and only uses three cylinders when it's cruising.
The hybrid gets about 29 miles per gallon in the city and 37 on the interstate. That's an improvement of about ten miles per gallon.
The current vehicles get about fifteen miles per gallon. The county spent more than $500,000 on gas alone last year. Chairman Ron Cross says they are considering swapping out 650 vehicles they have now for ones that are more fuel-efficient.
"We're kind of cautious up front about spending money on a program that hasn't been proven," Cross said.
If they can't make their budget, county services, like building inspections, may be scaled back.
The hybrid has mixed reviews with other counties that have converted, and its battery is about $2,000 to replace. But it gets about 22 more miles to the gallon than the average truck. Other options are replacing larger vehicles with smaller ones, alternative fuels, and combining all vehicles from individual departments. They hope to have a plan of action within the next thirty days.
