In the 2013 Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic there was a foot fault called on Garrett Gurthie - here is the link to the spot in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... _Eo&t=1407
When I look at Garrett's foot placement, I see the front of his shoe within (very close) the diameter of behind the disc.
Please help clarify what the rule is for determining this. PDGA rules 802.03 and 802.04 do not seem clear on this to me, I am probably missing something. The majority of folks on dgcoursereview forum seem to agree with the call.
Also - if Garrett didn't think he foot faulted, but Nikko said he did - what are Garrett's options at that point?

Name at birth: Norma Jeane Mortenson
Marilyn Monroe's sex appeal, talent and untimely death combined to make her one of Hollywood's most recognizable icons and possibly the world's most famous blonde. Early in her film career she played cheerful but not-too-smart objects of desire in movies like How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955). Her va-va-voom curves made her a global celebrity, and she went on to win acclaim as a talented actress in the films Bus Stop (1956) and Some Like It Hot (1959, with Jack Lemmon). Her personal life was famously untidy; her husbands included baseball star Joe DiMaggio (1954) and playwright Arthur Miller (1956-61). Her last film was Miller's drama The Misfits (1961, co-starring Clark Gable). She was found dead in 1962 of an overdose of sleeping pills, and her death was officially ruled a probable suicide.
Marilyn Monroe was married three times in all: to Jimmy Dougherty (1942-1946), whom she married when she was 16; to Joe DiMaggio (1954), and to Arthur Miller (1956-1961)… Elton John's memorial tribute to Princess Diana, "Candle in the Wind," was originally written for Marilyn… Her birth name is often given as Norma Jeane Baker. But according to the official site of her estate, the name on her birth certificate was Norma Jean Mortenson, but she was later baptized as Norma Jeane Baker… She is sometimes compared to Jayne Mansfield, another big blonde of the era who was promoted as "the next Monroe."

Great little program, very small and simple to use.
I love this program. It's great for making hoaxes, especially about new apple products (realistic metadata makes them so much more believeable).

7.6-1 Enticing a Minor -- § 53a-90a
Revised to December 1, 2007 (modified June 13, 2008)
The defendant is charged [in count __] with using a computer to entice a minor into sexual activity. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of enticing a minor when such person uses an interactive computer service to knowingly (persuade / induce / entice / coerce) any person under sixteen years of age to engage in (prostitution / sexual activity) for which the actor may be charged with a criminal offense.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Enticed
a minor into prostitution or sexual activity
The first element is that the defendant knowingly (persuaded / induced / enticed / coerced) another person into engaging in (prostitution / sexual activity). <Insert appropriate definition:>
Prostitution is defined as engaging or agreeing or offering to engage in sexual conduct with another person in return for a fee.1 "Sexual conduct" means behavior involving sex, the organs of sex and their functions or the instincts and drives associated with sex.2 A "fee" is any form of compensation or payment.
Sexual activity. "Sexual activity" means conduct or behavior involving sex, the organs of sex and their functions or the instincts and drives associated with sex.3
A person acts "knowingly" with respect to conduct or to a circumstance when (he/she) is aware that (his/her) conduct is of such nature or that such circumstance exists. <See Knowledge, Instruction 2.3-3.>
Element 2 - Other
person under 16 years of age
The second element is that at the time of the incident, the other person was under the age of sixteen. This means that the person had not yet had (his/her) sixteenth birthday when the conduct is alleged to have taken place.4
Element 3 -
Prostitution / Sexual activity
The third element is that the sexual activity which the defendant (persuaded / induced / enticed / coerced) the other person to engage in is one for which the defendant may be charged with a criminal offense. It is not necessary that the defendant actually be charged with such an offense, but simply that the sexual activity in which the defendant intended to engage is proscribed or prohibited by law. <Insert the particular conduct, including prostitution, which the state claims and the evidence supports as the sexual activity in which the defendant intended to have the minor engage, and the criminal charge(s) that it would support.>5
Element 4 -
The fourth element is that the defendant used an interactive computer service to accomplish this activity. As defined by this statute, an "interactive computer service" means any information service, system or access software provider that provides or enables computer access by multiple users to a computer server, including specifically a service or system that provides access to the Internet and such systems operated or services offered by libraries or educational institutions.6
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant enticed another person to engage in (prostitution / sexual activity), 2) that other person was under 16 years of age, 3) the sexual activity is one for which the defendant could be criminally liable, and 4) the defendant used an interactive computer system.
you unanimously find that the state has proved
beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements
of the crime of the use of a computer to
entice a child into sexual activity, then you
shall find the defendant guilty. On the other
hand, if you unanimously find that the state
has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt
any of the elements, you shall then find the
defendant not guilty.
1 See Prostitution, Instruction 7.3-1.
2 See State v. Allen, 37 Conn. Sup. 506, 510-11 (App. Sess. 1980).
3 The statutes concerning prostitution and pornography use both the terms "sexual activity" and "sexual conduct." They do not seem to be readily distinguishable.
4 When an attempt is alleged, the trial court must instruct the jury that the defendant believed that the other person was under 16 years of age. See State v. Sorabella, 277 Conn. 155, 191, cert. denied, 549 U.S. 821, 127 S.Ct. 131, 166 L.Ed.2d 36 (2006) (defendant convicted of attempt to entice a minor when the other person was an undercover police officer, but the defendant believed he was communicating with a 13-year old).
5 The court should inquire of the state what the underlying criminal offense(s) are being claimed if not expressly contained in the information.
6 General Statutes § 53a-90a (a).
Sentence Enhancers
Effective July 1, 2007, § 53a-90a (b) (2) provides an enhanced penalty if the victim is under 13 years of age. The jury must find this fact proved beyond a reasonable doubt. See Sentence Enhancers, Instruction 2.11-4.
Subsequent Offenders
General Statutes § 53a-90a (b) provides for an enhanced sentence if the defendant has previously been convicted of one or more violations of § 53a-90a. Pursuant to Practice Book § 36-14, the prior conviction must be charged in a Part B information so that the jury is unaware of the prior conviction during the trial on the current charge. If a guilty verdict is returned, the jury must then be instructed on the second part of the information. See Subsequent Offenders, Instruction 2.12-2.

Part D Preserves Access to Medicines for Beneficiaries with Diabetes
Part D Preserves Access to Medicines for Beneficiaries with Diabetes
06.12.13 | By
The Annals of Internal Medicine recently published a study that compared prescription diabetes medicine use between Medicare Part D and the Veterans Affairs (VA) program, specifically focusing on generic drug use. The study and subsequent media coverage overlook some important facts about prescription drug coverage in these two programs.
The primary reason the VA is able to generate high rates of generic utilization is due to the fact that they restrict access to innovative medicines. The VA uses a single national formulary, which includes coverage for a limited range of available prescription therapies. In order for a medicine to be covered by the VA, providers may be required to substitute a generic alternative that is available in the same therapeutic class, but is not identical to the prescribed brand name medicine. While generics play a key role in our system, no two people respond the same to medicine, making choice important to achieving the best possible health outcomes. Research shows that a variety of factors—such as genetic variation, age, the complexity of disease, and the number of other conditions a person has—cause patients to respond differently to medicines. It is important that patients and physicians have access to a wide range of treatment options, so they can select those that most effectively meet individual medical needs.
In contrast, Part D provides beneficiaries with a variety of plans to choose from and allows patients to get prescription medications at an affordable price. A 2012 survey showed that roughly 3.3 million veterans, or 42 percent of VA enrollees, have supplemented their VA drug coverage with Part D or private insurance and the trends are increasing. And of the most routinely prescribed medications for seniors, 93 percent were covered by two of the most popular Part D plans versus only 67 percent in the VA formulary.
As we've mentioned in the past, Part D continues to be a tremendous success for patients and the Medicare system overall. Ninety four percent of beneficiaries report that they are satisfied or very satisfied with their Medicare Part D coverage. The average monthly premium is about $30 this year – remaining virtually unchanged for the past three years and now 50 percent lower than initial projections. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office has reduced its 10-year Part D projection by over $100 billion in each of the last three years. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have noted that much of this is due to the high level of generic utilization. In 2012, four out of five prescriptions filled by Part D beneficiaries were for generic drugs.
The fact that VA beneficiaries have to supplement their plans with Part D speaks volumes and is illustrative of how restrictive VA prescription coverage really is.

Here's the lowdown: I own an iPod Touch, and so I have a scaled down version of the iPad. Do I produce music on it? Nope. Do I want to? Maybe. Why don't I? Because it's finicky, toyish and still doesn't have the feel of working in a real DAW or control of working in a real DAW. And worst of all, it doesn't have any Propellerhead software on it.

North Carolina QB sets national passing record
DAVIDSON, N.C. — Will Grier is still trying to get his head around throwing for a national record 837 yards passing and 10 touchdowns in his team's 104-80 win in a North Carolina high school state playoff game last Friday night.
The Davidson Day High School junior quarterback, being recruited by several top schools around the country, surpassed the mark of 764 yards passing set by Pacific Palisades (Calif.) QB David Koral set in 2000. Davidson Day High advanced to the N.C. Independent Schools' Division II championship game with the win over Harrells Christian.
Grier said "it was craziest thing I've ever been a part of. It was ridiculous."
In the wild game that lasted nearly four hours, the teams combined for 184 points surpassing the existing state mark of 142 set in 1930.
The game ended close to midnight and Grier had no idea he broke any records until the following day.
"My Twitter account just blew up," Grier said.
Grier said it seemed like the game might never end, but that the Wildcats felt unstoppable on offense.
They scored on every possession except one.
"My goal is always to win; I'm not a stat guy," Grier said. "I could really care less about records, just as long as we win. Looking back on it though it was like `Oh my goodness.' Our offense was quick and we just had one of those nights where we were on. Our offensive line played their best game and the receivers kept making plays. You have to give credit to them."
Chad Grier, Will's father and Davidson Day's head coach, is certainly used to some high-scoring games — Will has thrown 64 touchdown passes this season, one shy of a state record —but he said he's never seen anything quite like what happened Friday night.
"I sure didn't come in with a plan for us to score 104 points, and I sure as heck didn't have a plan to give up 80," Grier said.
Given the explosive nature of the offenses, the game was always fairly close with Davidson Day never leading by more than 24 points.
The Wildcats felt like they had to keep scoring on every possession to stay comfortably ahead.
"You have to credit the kids at Harrells Christian," Chad Grier said. "They just kept fighting — and kept scoring."
As a coach and dad, the elder Grier had to find something to critique his son on after the game.
"He did throw one interception so I told him what a dumb throw that was," Chad Grier said with a laugh. "I told him he has to work on his backside throws. You have to find something."
Grier has scholarship offers from Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Wake Forest and East Carolina, which is his where his father played in college. He's also being recruited by Alabama, Duke, N.C. State and Oregon, among others.
Grier said he hopes to make a decision on where to attend college in the spring.

Waterfowl Ammo Guide
Looking for the perfect duck or goose load? Here are 10 popular ammo options to help narrow your selection
By Phil Bourjaily
When it comes to shotshells, lethality is the mother of invention. The ban on lead shot, now ancient history, spurred manufacturers to rethink shotshells as they struggled to make nontoxic pellets that performed as effectively as lead. Their efforts over the past 25 years have resulted in a number of innovations, including a new cartridge—the 3 1/2-inch 12-gauge—as well as denser, harder pellets made of various materials propelled at ever-increasing speeds. This dizzying array of new and better shotshells means that choosing a duck load isn't as easy as deciding between 2s and 4s anymore.
Here's a quick guide to 10 of the leading waterfowl cartridges to help you pick the right one for your hunting needs.
Winchester Supreme High Velocity Steel
Winchester's black-hulled Supreme High Velocity steel, which came out in the late 1990s, was the first fast steel load I ever shot. At 1,450 feet per second, this load was 75 to 100 feet per second faster than anything else available at that time. As soon as I shot it, I quit complaining about steel and started killing ducks and geese, and it remains my standby steel load. It has a good balance of power and speed without excessive recoil. I shoot 3-inch 2s for ducks and 3-inch BBs for geese, and I have shot these enough to know that if the bird doesn't fall, it's not the shell's fault. Winchester is a proud partner of Ducks Unlimited.
Hevi-Shot Hevi-Metal
Hevi-Shot and other tungsten-iron pellets are the most promising alternative to steel, but at a high price point. Hevi-Shot maker Environ-Metal has found a way to lower the cost by combining 50-50 mixes of tungsten and steel to create Hevi-Metal. These loads are composed of smaller Hevi-Shot pellets stacked on top of larger steel shot. My testing shows that the Hevi-Shot portion of the load migrates to the outer edges of the pattern as the shot flies downrange, where it helps to fill out the pattern.
Kent Fasteel Waterfowl
Many waterfowlers who want value and performance from their shotshells choose Kent Fasteel Waterfowl. As the name implies, this ammo is fast, with 3 1/2-inch loads pushing the envelope at 1,625 feet per second. Cut one open and you'll find uniform, perfectly round steel pellets that provide good patterning performance. They cleanly kill ducks and geese and are affordable—what more could you want?
But sometimes a high-speed load isn't necessary. This year, Kent introduced TealSteel, a 1 1/4-ounce load of steel 5s that travel at a modest 1,350 feet per second. With a payload of just over 300 pellets, TealSteel has enough shot to ensure multiple hits on small ducks. The lower velocity is adequate to bag teal and it decreases recoil to the point that you won't feel beaten up after hunting in a T-shirt.
Remington Hypersonic Steel
Remington's Hypersonic steel achieves velocities of 1,700 feet per second thanks to a wad that more or less turns the shell into a two-stage rocket. A hollow stem on the bottom of the wad extends down into the powder and over the primer. The primer ignites only the powder in the stem, pushing the wad down the barrel before the rest of the charge ignites. With more space in which to burn, the powder doesn't generate dangerous pressures, even as it achieves velocities that were previously unimaginable with 1 1/4- and 1 3/8-ounce payloads. The wad exits the muzzle as an intact shot cup, splitting open in flight to release the pellets, which get to the target in a hurry.
I had a chance to shoot a lot of HyperSonic in Alberta when it first came out. These cartridges were available only in 2s at the time, and they performed superbly on snow geese, white-fronted geese, and medium-sized Canada geese as well as ducks. Remington is a proud partner of Ducks Unlimited.
Federal Black Cloud
Federal's Black Cloud combines two components seemingly working at cross purposes into one load that has become a favorite of many hardcore duck hunters. Forty percent of Black Cloud's pellets are ringed like Saturn, and their poor aerodynamic shape should cause them to shoot wide-open patterns. The other 60 percent are round, however, and a Flitecontrol wad holds the entire payload together for about 15 feet beyond the muzzle before releasing it. This keeps the pattern tight and the velocity high.
For hunters who prefer to shoot ducks over decoys there is Black Cloud Close Range, loaded with 100 percent Flitestopper pellets and a wad engineered to release them sooner for more open patterns. Black Cloud Snow Goose, on the other hand, is made to hit harder, with shot traveling at 1,635 feet per second.
Rio BlueSteel
If you go through ammo by the case, price may be the most important number on a box of shells. Rio BlueSteel is the latest budget steel brand. Rio is a new name in steel shot, but Rio lead loads have been available in the United States for a few years and are a popular low-cost shell among target shooters. Rio's parent company UEE (Union Española de Explosivos) has been in business since 1896, and it makes every component of the shells itself. Between the Rio and Kemen lines, the company loads around 400 million shotshells a year.
BlueSteel offers 3 1/2-inch, 3-inch, and 2 3/4-inch loads in both high velocity (1,550 fps) and slower, heavier payloads of up to 1 9/16 ounces in 3 1/2-inch 12s. There are also 2 3/4- and 3-inch 20-gauge loads.
Winchester Blind Side
Winchester's Blind Side offers a different take on the concept of pairing spreader pellets with tight-patterning wads. Blind Side shells contain 100 percent hexagonal pellets in a Diamond Cut Wad that keeps the pellets corralled until they are several feet out of the barrel, then releases them as vanes on the side of the wad pop out to increase drag. The six-sided shot stacks more efficiently into a hull, allowing for heavier payloads. Despite their poor aerodynamic shape, these loads pattern well. At 1,675 feet per second, Blind Side's high-velocity ammo is one of the fastest loads around.
Hevi-Shot Speed Ball
New from Environ-Metal is Hevi-Shot Speed Ball, which makes use of the same blended-shot formula found in Hevi-Metal while boosting velocity to well over 1,600 feet per second. Speed Ball loads also come with copper plating added to the steel pellets, which slightly increases their weight. Instead of reducing payloads while increasing velocity to keep pressures low, Environ-Metal uses a ball at the bottom of the shot column in each Speed Ball round. The ball provides a cushion for the shot, which keeps chamber pressures lower and safer when the load accelerates to 1,650 feet per second.
Winchester Xpert Hi-Velocity Steel
Winchester found a new way to make steel pellets at a lower cost, and passed those savings along to budget-conscious hunters in the form of its Super X Xpert Hi-Velocity steel loads. Whatever the manufacturing process, these pellets don't appear to be as uniform as conventionally cut and polished steel shot, but I have used them with good success on ducks, geese, and pheasants. These loads pattern
more openly in some guns, which is not a bad thing if you hunt over decoys.
Kent Tungsten Matrix Waterfowl
Four out of five dentists surveyed recommend Kent Tungsten Matrix to their patients who chew nontoxic shot. Not really, but Kent Tungsten Matrix remains my favorite nontoxic pellet. And if you can afford to pay $3 per shell, it's the closest thing to lead in terms of density and patterning. A mix of tungsten powder and polymer blended to just below the density of lead, this shot responds to chokes like lead and hits like it, too. It is completely safe in many older gun barrels, and so soft that it's actually chewy when you accidentally bite a piece at the dinner table. Although Tungsten Matrix is available in waterfowl and upland loads, I use my small supply primarily in my double guns for pheasant hunting.

Shawnee police have a recovered a guitar that was stolen from a Shawnee man who was assaulted while playing songs in Woodland Veterans Park earlier this week.
Kenneth Weathers of Shawnee, who is partially blind in one eye, was reportedly punched in the face, with suspects taking his Fender guitar.
Shawnee Police Detective Ronnie Wilson is investigating this case, which involved recovering Weathers' stolen guitar from a local pawnshop on Friday. That led police to the suspect who allegedly pawned the guitar.
Police on Friday arrested Robert Owens, 44, on a complaint of false declaration of ownership in pawn. Owens was booked into the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center; formal charges have not been filed.
Reports in the case indicate Owens told detectives he was eating at the Salvation Army when he was approached by a man and agreed to pawn a guitar for him.
While Owens is a suspect for pawning the stolen guitar, the search is ongoing for the suspect who assaulted Weathers and took the guitar during Monday's incident.
According to reports, police believe Weathers' assailant is a homeless man.

Friday, Jan. 11, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It's painful, highly contagious and sometimes even deadly. If you've had the flu already this season, you know all too well.
While experts say cases in our area are on the decline, that does not mean you're safe.
Flu season came early for our area, but we're still at the epidemic level in Georgia, and just because you've had it once, doesn't mean you won't get it again.
"One can get influenza more than once in a flu season. In fact, as many as three -- and if we want to include Influenza C-, maybe even four times," said Infectious Disease Expert Dr. Gerald Gordon.
That's not very comforting news, especially if you've already had the virus once.
For hundreds of people in our area, that's been the case, but doctors say this is no normal flu season.
"This strain of influenza, H3N2, appears to be a more lethal, more virulent and more serious infection that we've seen in past years," Gordon said.
"This season has actually been the worst in the last ten years, and there's actually been deaths associated with that," said GRU Family Medicine Clinic Medical Director Janis Coffin.
In Georgia, there have been two flu-related deaths. Neither were in our area.
The flu hits closer to home in South Carolina. Two people have died in Aiken and one in Barnwell County.
While Tresa Welch didn't die from the nasty bug, she said it was almost as bad.
"Death warmed over. It was real bad. Everything hurts. Your hair, your eyes, your nose. Everything hurts," she said.
The flu peaked back in November in our area, a very early flu season, according to most experts.
"Influenza has come through this area very aggressively. It has caused a great deal of illness, a large number of people coming to emergency rooms," Gordon said.
It's become so widespread that hospitals are restricting visitors.
"If you're under the age of 18, you can't come into the hospital, and if you have any symptoms whatever, whether it's fever, cough, sore throat, we're recommending that people don't come into the hospital," Coffin said.
If you don't want to catch the flu, doctors say the answer is simple.
"A flu shot works. A flu shot's a very efficient, very cheap and very safe way to prevent from getting the flu," Gordon said.
"Whether you're a 100 years old down to six months of age, everyone should come in and receive their influenza vaccine," Coffin said.
Doctors say the getting the vaccine and washing your hands is even more important if you're traveling because strains can be different from state to state, and experts say your steering wheel is probably one of the dirtiest things you'll come in contact with.
However, the vaccine is not 100 percent effective. The CDC says this year's vaccine is 62 percent effective, but they still say it's your best bet against the flu.

Saturday's letters: Military aid
Published: Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 19, 2013 at 6:26 p.m.
To the editor: The nature of this warning is so outrageous an affront to our nation that I must tell you the source of my information for you to believe it. It comes from a successful legal organization in Washington, D.C., the American Center for Law and Justice, founded by Pat Robertson.
President Barack Obama has scheduled for delivery to Egypt a military aid package of $1.5 billion. Already four state-of-the art F16 fighter jets have been shipped, and more are to go along with 200 military tanks. This is funded by taxpayer dollars.
Egypt is under a dictatorial regime favoring the terrorists. Its more unstable under the leadership of Muhammed Morsi, who has made it clear he hates Israel and the Jewish people. For years, the United States has given billions of aid to Egypt for stabilization and humanitarian purposes, not military aid.
Obama maintains hes doing this to fulfill an agreement made with U.S. arms manufacturers. Americans must no longer be blind to Obamas intentions to get the Muslim world on his side.
It is absolutely necessary for Americans to discard the shroud of complacency that we have been living in for too long a time.

Laugh and cry
To the editor: My wife and I agree that Brighton Beach Memoirs, currently being presently by the Hendersonville Little Theater, is one of the best theater performances that we have experienced.
The entire production is outstanding, including the effective set, the crisp sound, and the amazing acting of the superb cast who have mastered the psychological interchange of the Jerome family and so effectively share it in the intimacy of the Little Theater.
In Brighton Beach Memoirs, Neil Simon not only humorously entertains but also challenges as the life struggles of the family onstage are in some fashion the story of the audience also. Be prepared to both laugh often and probably shed some tears.
Only a few opportunities remain to enjoy and appreciate this terrific performance today at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Are we next?
To the editor: The April 7 Associated Press story by Aron Heller headlined 70 years ago, Jews in ghetto resisted Nazis tells of survivor Aliza (Mendel) Vitis-Shomron performing her sacred mission by telling about the mass murders, resistance and destruction of the Polish Warsaw Jewish ghetto during World War II.
To me, this well-done effort to inform (who was it who said, Those who choose to ignore history are doomed to repeat it?) of events still in living memories is too brief. Its important also to remember that while the slaughter was happening in Warsaw, a powerful Communist USSR Army stopped its advance and parked just east of Warsaw. It apparently had no interest in saving the Jewish prisoner population from Nazi butchers but allowed the death and destruction to be completed before taking the city.
This history seems to me to mirror the lefts present-day hostility toward religious groups and minorities as they distort (invert?) the meanings of our Constitution and attempt to secularize the nation and the world.
We Christians are Scripture-sharing direct spiritual descendants of the Jewish faith. Perhaps were next?

Crash kills one at Port Fourchon
Published: Monday, June 23, 2014 at 3:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 24, 2014 at 10:16 a.m.
A driver from Cut Off was killed Monday afternoon when his pickup truck crossed the center line and struck an 18-wheeler head-on near Port Fourchon, police said.
Patrick Terrebonne, 48, was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after the crash, which occurred about 2:30 p.m. on La. 3090, just south of La. 1, State Police Troop C said.
Terrebonne was heading south in a 2009 Ford F-150 when he hit a 2011 Peterbilt tractor-trailer driven by Quint Marceaux, 39, of New Iberia, troopers said.
Marceaux, in an attempt to avoid the crash, steered to the right and entered the northbound shoulder of La. 3090, police said. The F-150 continued across the northbound lane and onto the northbound shoulder, where it struck the Peterbilt head-on. It's not clear what caused him to swerve into the oncoming lane.
Both Terrebonne and Marceaux were wearing seat belts. Marceaux received what police described as minor injuries and was not hospitalized.
Routine toxicology tests, required by state law in all fatal crashes, are pending for Terrebonne, Troop C said. Marceaux submitted to a breath test and was cleared of any alcohol impairment.
La. 3090 was closed to traffic in both directions for several hours as crews cleared the wreck.
The crash remains under investigation.

RUTGERS SCUBA will join ALLIANCE FOR A LIVING OCEAN for the 2nd ANNUAL DELVING THE BAY event at the Brant Beach Yacht Club (tentative location) on Long Beach Island.
Alliance for a Living Ocean believes in protecting our waterways from the raindrop to the ocean. On May 17th, we will be coordinating a bay clean-up with scuba divers, paddle boarders, kayakers and possibly boaters. ALO's mission is to learn more about the bay ecosystem while cleaning up debris. Divers will be entering the water to observe the condition of the bay floor, clean up debris and report back on their findings to Project AWARE Dive Against Debris. The participants on top of the water will be heading out for a scenic trip to some of our important bay islands where they will get to observe the conditions of the ecosystems and clean up debris. Winds, tides and currents cause debris to be moved around in our bay areas and often is caught on bay islands which are difficult to access in order to clean up. This is a unique opportunity to learn more about our ecosystems on the western side of the barrier island while making a difference for the environment.

The drought currently squeezing Southern California into a bone dry pile of dust also comes with a few unfortunate side effects like browned lawns, dangerous fire conditions, oh, and bears.
For example, the brown bear — pictured above — that's currently lumbering around a Pasadena neighborhood, poking through backyards and taking swipes at old Scottish couples.
According to KTLA 5, residents should stay inside while animal control officers (probably wandering along with the bear through Pasadena's suburban streets like Walt Whitman and an even-hairier-than-usual Allen Ginsberg) contain the situation.
One of our Animal Control Officers is on scene of #bear sighting in #Pasadena. Please stay inside.
— Pasadena Humane Soc. (@PHS_SPCA) January 24, 2014
It's not clear if there are just more bears out and about from their hibernation naps this year, or if the drought is merely forcing bears who were already awake to venture out further in search of food.
Either way, however, sightings are way up.

STANFORD -- Just call her the Big Scooper.
Chiney Ogwumike became Stanford's career rebounding leader Friday night as fourth-ranked Stanford opened the Pac-12 season with a resounding 96-66 victory over Oregon at Maples Pavilion.
Ogwumike had 33 points and 14 rebounds and junior Bonnie Samuelson added a career-best 21 points for the Cardinal (12-1).
Despite Oregon's best efforts to control her, Ogwumike passed Kayla Pedersen (1,266) on the career rebounding list. She has 1,271 with 2½ months of her senior season left.
The 6-foot-3 Texan has passed some big names besides Pedersen: Jayne Appel, Nicole Powell and her sister Nneka Ogwumike. With 2,112 points, Chiney now is 13 behind Appel for fourth on the career scoring list.
Records are great for headlines, but "the contributions our bench is making, that's what I get excited about," Chiney said. "I always have the bigger picture in mind."
She also always downplays her vast achievements to blend in with teammates.
It doesn't fool opposing coaches who employ all kinds of strategies to stop Ogwumike. Oregon used a trapping 2-3 zone defense for much of the first half, but it proved futile against the Cardinal sharpshooters.
"Our outside shooting makes up for a multiple of sins," coach Tara VanDerveer said. "That will take a lot of pressure off Chiney."
Oregon called off the zone early in the second half when Ogwumike started scoring inside despite the scheme.
With Ogwumike dominating the post and Cardinal guards making shot after shot, Oregon (9-3) saw its seven-game win streak evaporate into a distant memory. The Ducks started the day leading the nation by averaging 105.3 points per game behind coach Paul Westhead's shoot-first strategy.
Westhead called the 66-point total "a joke."
But Oregon, which finished last in the Pac-12 a year ago, hadn't faced a defense as intense as Stanford's. It resulted in a dismal game for freshman guard Chrishae Rowe, who had averaged 24.5 points before Friday. The Ducks' top scorer made only 3 of 16 shots and ended with 11 points. Sophomore forward Jillian Alleyne led Oregon with 26 points and 13 rebounds as Stanford focused on stopping the outside shooting.
The Ducks missed their first nine from 3-point range and finished 6 of 26 from beyond the arc.
"I flat out didn't expect this," Westhead added.
It would have been difficult to expect the kind of pinpoint shooting Samuelson provided. She was cleared to play just before the start of the season, then sprained an ankle and had mostly cameo roles before Friday night.
"She knows her job and went out and did it," VanDerveer said.
Samuelson did more than that, making 6 of 9 3-point shots.
"It's exciting to feel like myself again," she said.
Samuelson and freshman sister Karlie Samuelson made Stanford's final four baskets of the first half -- all on 3 pointers -- to help the Cardinal take a 51-34 lead.
Stanford's reserves had one of their better performances. The bench outscored the starters by one point.
"Our bench keeps our starters accountable," VanDerveer said.
That they did Friday.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Much like Admiral Winnefeld's last book, Career Compass, this work gives naval officers the information they need to build a successful career. It covers the entire career spectrum, complementing and supplementing his previous work, as it addresses such topics as the importance and challenges of joint tours, relations with chiefs and other enlisted sailors, and the timeless character qualities needed for success. Taking a chronological approach and a tone that never preaches, the admiral offers advice appropriate to all levels. His chapters on mid-grade tours are particularly useful because they are not covered in other volumes in the series. His ten rules for "social polish" help define the term "gentleman." The son, nephew, brother, and father of Navy men who served afloat in peace and war, Admiral Winnefeld breaks new ground while reinforcing the best advice given over the years to those seeking a successful course.
Rear Admiral James A. Winnefeld Sr., USN (Ret.), a 1951 graduate of the Naval Academy, has held multiple commands at sea, in both aviation and surface units, including commandant of midshipmen at the Naval Academy and three tours in the Bureau of Naval Personnel.

How to Start a Blog
You have heard others talk about it, and you have been toying with the idea yourself: starting a blog, sharing your own ideas, thoughts, stories and adventures. Getting started is much less daunting than you think, and it's even easier if you're going to host the blog on Wordpress.com*. Let's go through the steps.
Start at Wordpress.com
Using Wordpress.com to host your blog makes it easier, because you don't have to worry about dealing with web hosting. They handle all the difficult technical details for you. Ready? Click on the big "Get Started" button.
Now you will need to fill out the form. Pay particular attention to the blog address, as that's what you will share with your friends so they can read your writing.
The part you want to spend some time thinking about is the name of your new blog. A name like "Hillary.Wordpress.Com" is a lot easier to share with friends than, for example, "Hillary452.Wordpress.Com". It might take a few tries before you find a name that's available. Have patience; it's worth it.
The next step is to go through the blog configuration options. There are two fields: title and tagline.
Your blog title is what people will see at the top of every page, and spaces are okay. Have a bit of fun—creativity is good!
For this demonstration, we will use "Intel Tech Tips" for the name of our blog.
A tagline is a four or five word slogan or description of your new blog. For example: "Learn to dance like a star" or "Everything wrong with politics" or "My life, my views, my brilliant ideas". We will use "Better Living Through Technology" for the tagline of this blog.
Click "Next Step" to proceed.
Choose your theme
Now this is the fun part: Choose a theme that makes your blog look really cool. If you don't like any of these free themes, you can just scroll to the bottom, and there is a button to show more themes.
You can choose themes that cost money or stick with a free one without a price tag by clicking on its preview thumbnail image.
Next you will see options for customizing the theme you have selected. In fact, customization is one great benefit of using Wordpress for your blog—but let's defer that to later so we can keep moving forward.
Click on "Next Step", and you are ready to create your first post!
Create your first post
Your first post. Now is a good time to talk about what makes a blog really popular. One thing is good writing, but another factor is consistency.
It's hard to build fans if you write four articles in a day and then ignore it for two months, so think about some sort of consistent schedule for your blog. Maybe one post a week, and more if the inspiration hits or you have an amazing experience? That's plenty.
Let's go back and write a post about the Ultrabook™.
For this example blog entry, we will post a photo of the computer and write a bit about our first impressions, which can be done by clicking on "Text" for the first post. This is the most common type of blog post, so it's something you will doubtless get quite familiar with as you proceed.
Once you're at the composition page, start by typing in a title for your post, something that's short, witty, and hopefully piques the curiosity of your reader, so they will click through and read what you have written. The main part of your blog entry is the main text, which can be multiple paragraphs—as long as you would like—and can include links, bold, italics, and various other typographic elements.
Ready to add a photo? Click on "Insert Photo". The photo of the Ultrabook is saved in the "Pictures" folder, so it's easy to navigate to that spot, select the photo, and click "Open". If your photo is on your camera or smartphone, you will need to copy it onto your computer before you upload it. If it's a photo you have found on someone else's web site, you can enter its URL, but it's recommended you check with them to gain permission first. Lots of images are protected under copyright and can't be republished, even for a casual, personal blog. Better to be safe than get into trouble.
Once you have all that straightened out, select the photo file, and it will be uploaded to the Wordpress server. After a moment or two, it will appear in the edit window at full size, which can be rather startling, especially if it's really large. Click on the image, and you will have the option of scaling it down if it seems too big.
Done writing and adding photos and other images? Terrific. To publish a new blog entry, click on "Publish Post", and after a few moments of behind-the-scenes work, the post is up, and you will be looking at a confirmation page. It worked. You are a blogger.
Blog created, theme chosen, and first entry already published. Make a note of your blog's new address, and you're ready to tell your friends about it!
Congrats on joining the ranks of bloggers. There are millions of us. And don't be shy sharing your work with others.

RICHMOND (December 6, 2012)--Hilmar Moore has died at the age of 92 after serving since 1949 as mayor of the Southeast Texas town of Richmond, near Houston, his widow Evelyn Moore, said.
She said her husband died Tuesday night after a lengthy illness.
The Richmond city website says Moore was the nation's longest-serving mayor of uninterrupted tenure.
The San Antonio native ran cattle on land that had been in the family since 1822.
His mother was a member of the prominent Guenther milling family in San Antonio.
The Army Air Corps veteran returned to the area after World War II service in the Pacific.
He was appointed to fill an unexpired term in September 1949, when the town had just more than 2,000 residents.
Today, more than 12,000 residents live in the city 27 miles southwest of Houston.

Hurley SNOWBOARDING
Bob Hurley proves that you can be 23 years old and the founder of two huge surfboard labels in the US already. That's impressive! Hurley as a brand was founded in 1979 by Bob Hurley along with his Business partner Bob Rowland and Business Manager Joe Knoernschild. After that Hurley worked for five years as a surf board shaper for various companies - including Lightning Bolt, Wind-an-Sea and Wave Tools. In the early 1980s, Hurley Surfboards excelled as a company and Bob was shaping surfboards for many of the best surfers in the world. In 1982, Bob and his business manager, Joe K., bought a hot Australian clothing brand, Billabong. Bob was attracted to the company because of their super long, punk rock boardshorts styles. With the help of friends and family, Billabong USA was established as a separate entity and licensee for Billabong. By the mid-1980s Bob and his team were committed to do things differently and took full responsibility for design, sourcing, marketing and stuff. By the end of 1998, it was clear that the team had its own vision for the future that did not necessarily serve the interests of Billabong globally. Coincidentally, the license agreement between Hurley and Billabong was up for renewal. With much gratitude, Bob and his team returned the Billabong license and decided to relaunch Hurley. In 2002, Nike absorbed Hurley and from this day on Hurley started to develop footwear next to swimwear. The best examples are the Hurley Phantom X Nike Free Sandals with the high-functional Nike Free™ technology and high breathability due to the Spacer Mesh™ technology. But Hurley is also working and creating autonomously from Nike and so they remain true to themselves. The Hurley Phantom Boardshorts and all the beach culture inspired streetwear will live on forever as it does for the last 30 years. Hurley surfs on!

Secret to football success: Unsung heroes
Every football team has them, players who are recognizable, not just because of their star-studded, game-day performances or family names. They give it everything they've got and are known as the 'program kids,' the type who exemplify the true meaning of being a team player.
Some are upperclassmen, while others are not. What they all have in common is their respect for the game, and more importantly, their teammates, coaches and programs.
As the high school football season winds down this week with the highly anticipated Thanksgiving week matchups, here are a few of those kids:
"Kevin is a very hard worker and very dedicated," said Woodland coach Tim Shea. "To him, it's all about the team. He puts the team and the program above all else. He played last year and over his career, he battled injuries, but set his mind that he would play. He realized that this was his chance and he took advantage of it. When you look at him on films, he's always in the right place at the right time and doing the right thing. As a coach, the more players you have like that, the better."
"Jeremy is such a great leader, and is the most experienced player we've have this season," said Shea. "He has made everyone around him better."
"Jason is all heart," said Watertown coach Mike Veronneau. "He never missed a day of practice. He is such a great teammate who plays with great passion. He is what this program stands for. Against Crosby, he made 10 tackles and was all around the football. He just leads by example and the others get energized by the he plays. He is always positive with his teammates and is selfless and does what is best for the team."
Celone was injured Saturday, and Coty doesn't know if Celone will dress for Thursday's game. But he added, "If Shane can't go, I could absolutely know that he will get his teammates pumped up for the game. He is the leader of the team."
"Dave had big shoes to fill," said Holy Cross coach Mike Giampetruzzi. "I thought he'd have competition all year because we have a lot of younger kids in the mix, but Dave won the job and kept it because he was consistent and made big plays. Dave came to work every day prepared and became a big part of our defense."
"Kevin is always in the weight room, even on Saturdays, and he's the guy with the clipboard on the sidelines and writes down the plays. He has an intuitive mind and a real student of the game. He makes himself better by always asking questions. He's everything you want in a player."

The final five return to their beach and Alicia is confident that her alliance with Kim and Christina will hold. The next morning, Sabrina and Kim get tree mail and discuss the options for a final three.
After Kim wins the first immunity, she tells Sabrina that the vote will be for Alicia and then tells Alicia and Christina that the vote is for Chelsea. At Tribal Council, everyone believes Kim is on their side.
When the final four return from Tribal, Christina realizes that Kim had been lying to her the whole time while Chelsea is thankful for Kim's loyalty. The next morning, Christina knows she needs immunity to stay in the game. After receiving tree mail, the women participate in the Rites of Passage ritual and head to their final Immunity Challenge.
When Kim wins the last Immunity Challenge, Christina wants to blatantly be told if she is the one to go. As a result, there is no last minute scrambling before the final Tribal Council. The next morning, Sabrina wakes up in the final three and is emotionally overwhelmed to be where she is. Afterwards, Kim, Chelsea and Sabrina enjoy a big breakfast and face the jury later that evening.moreless
After returning from the last Tribal Council, Tarzan tries to persuade Kim to keep him around until the final four. The next morning, Chelsea feels the tribe is divided, three on three, so she tries to get Christina on her side. But when Christina tells the other women, it automatically makes her a target.
Chelsea wins the reward and takes Kim and Sabrina with her on a yacht. Back on the beach, Alicia and Christina are angry with Chelsea's pick and hatch a plan to vote her or Kim out and invite Tarzan to join the vote. But after Kim returns from the reward, she tells Alicia and Christina that Tarzan is out to get them, when in reality he is not.
Before Tribal Council, Alicia tells Tarzan that she is on board for voting out Chelsea, but isn't sure if she should believe the things that Kim tells her.moreless
Kim feels her female alliance is strong and Troyzan knows he needs to win every immunity challenge to stay in the game. Later, Kim wins the reward challenge and takes Chelsea and Alicia with her, signaling to the others who is higher up in the alliance. At the campsite, Kim's decision allows Troyzan to try and make the other women think they are in danger of being the first ones voted out of the alliance. Then, during a rainstorm, the tribe discover a wild pig roaming around on their beach, but are unsuccessful in catching it. After the Immunity Challenge, Kat feels frustrated that Kim is running the show and planning the votes for tribal. The women are unsure if Troyzan has an immunity idol so they plan to split the votes.moreless
Troyzan knows he is the next to go and feels he has the right to be angry even though the women tell him not to. Later, Tree Mail prepares the tribe mates for the Survivor auction, but no one is prepared for Troyzan's outburst after he buys a note for an advantage to the Immunity Challenge. After the auction, Troyzan starts looking for a new idol and the women are disappointed that Christina did not outbid him for that note.
At the Immunity Challenge, Troyzan wins and causes the female alliance to come up with a back-up plan for the vote. The women feel that voting out a male is the best decision, but Troyzan approaches Leif, Tarzan and Alicia to try and get them to vote against the dominant female alliance.moreless
Tarzan and Troyzan know the girls want to vote out the men one by one. The tribe later get tree mail and participate in another do-it-yourself Reward Challenge. While on reward, Jay is suspicious of future blindsides by the women after the vote for Michael. Kim is confident with the female dominance but Chelsea doesn't want to betray Jay and Troyzan's trust and Sabrina doesn't want any cracks in the female alliance. Meanwhile, Jay and Troyzan want to split up the girls and plan a vote for Alicia. Jay approaches some of the women to get them on his side, and although they agree, they aren't being truthful.
The tribe return from their Immunity Challenge and the women plan to spread out their votes between Jay and Troyzan. Both Jay and Troyzan approach the women and are told they will not be blindsided, but Troyzan doesn't believe them and brings his hidden immunity idol to Tribal.moreless
The tribe participates in a reward challenge and after half of the tribe enjoys soda and steaks, Kim talks to Sabrina to stengthen the female alliance and vote Michael out. Meanwhile, back on the Tikiano beach, the girls are also talking about voting Michael out which worries Jay. Afterwards, bad weather causes the tribemates to strengthen their shelter and Chelsea accuses Tarzan of chopping wood they needed to improve the shelter.
Later, Kim makes Troyzan believe that Michael wants him out, angering Troyzan and creating a reason for him to vote for Michael. After Jay wins immunity, he wants to vote out a girl and plans for Christina. Before Tribal Council, Kim isn't sure if she should stick with her female alliance and vote for Michael or side with Jay for the vote.moreless
The newly merged tribe wake up and decide on the new tribe name, Tikiano. Tarzan fears that the guys are not part of a solid alliance so he approaches Michael to get him on their side. Although Michael agrees, he's not being truthful with Tarzan. Later, half of Tikiano win a reward of pizza and a secret note. The note reveals that there is still an unclaimed hidden immunity idol. Chelsea fears that someone from the former Manono tribe has an idol because she wants the old Salani to prevail. Jonas later approaches Tarzan when he learns Michael knows of the male alliance. Tarzan doesn't appreciate Jonas' comments and decides to take himself out of the alliance.
Early the next morning while the others are still sleeping, Troyzan successfully finds the hidden immunity idol. Afterwards, the tribe participate in their first post-merge individual Immunity Challenge. The pre-merge Salani alliance seem tight and Jonas is the target for the vote. So when Troyzan tells Jonas their plan, right away he does damage control, repairing his alliance with Tarzan and establish a last minute plan to vote Kat out. But a conversation during Tribal Council may change everyone's plan.moreless
When the two tribes meet for the Reward Challenge, they are shocked to learn that the tribes will be shaken up. Afterwards, the newly reformed Salani arrive on their beach and Sabrina is happy to see members of her previous alliance on the tribe. But over on the new Manono beach, Colton and Alicia are not so happy with their new tribe members. Back on Salani, the tribe members enjoy a meal of chicken and crab while Jay feels comfortable siding with the women on his tribe in preparation for a merge. Manono are also thinking of the merge and Alicia wants the girls (and Colton) to stick together, but Jonas sees Colton as a possible threat to the male alliance.
Before the next challenge, Kim finds an idol on the Salani beach and shares it with Chelsea but vow to keep it to themselves. At the Manono beach, Colton feels that Monica and Christina need to be voted out next and Alicia agrees to vote his way.
Then, after Monono lose the Immunity Challenge, Monica and Christina are told that the vote is for Tarzan, but Alicia and Colton spread the word about voting out Monica, something that the other tribe mates agree with.moreless
The men return from Tribal Council and Tarzan feels his alliance is solid and thinks Bill should be their next target. The next morning, Jonas approaches the women to use their net in exchange for half of the catch, but Salani reject his offer. Later, the women win the Reward Challenge and take a tarp back to their shelter. After the challenge, Leif lets it slip to Bill that Colton wanted to vote him out at the last Tribal. Michael tells Colton he suspects Leif and Bill are friends which leads Leif to confess to Colton what he told Bill.
The two tribes meet for the Immunity Challenge and when Manono win, Alicia is blamed for Salani's loss after being unable to complete their puzzle and laughs it off. Over on Manono, Bill wants to discuss things with Colton, but Colton does not want to talk. Instead, Colton comes up with the idea to give up their tribe immunity and go to Tribal Council to vote out the guy he doesn't like.moreless

CONWAY, Ark. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team could not withstand a rally in the late innings by Central Arkansas, falling 9-3 against the Bears to split the first two games of the Southland Conference series. The two teams will conclude the series with a 12 p.m. contest on Sunday at Bear Stadium.
The Islanders move to 11-13 on the season, and sit at 4-4 in Southland Conference play. The Bears picked improved to 9-10 overall, 4-4 in league games. Starter Tim Keller was tagged with the loss to fall to 0-4 on the year, pitching 4.1 innings while giving up four runs on four hits, while striking out seven batters and walking five.
Jonathan Gonzales picked up his third home run of the year, but it was not enough as the Islanders managed six hits and scored in just one inning against UCA starter Caleb McClanahan. The Bears ace pitched a complete game, giving up three runs on six hits, walking none and striking out 11 Islanders batters.
Central Arkansas got on the board first, notching single runs in the third and fourth innings for an early 2-0 lead, but the Islanders quickly responded in the fifth for their first lead of the day.
Gonzales started things off with a leadoff home run in the inning. After the homer, Jordan Lee singled to right field to put a runner on for Marc Damon. With the count 1-1, Damon laced a single to right center field and advanced to second on an error by the right fielder that allowed Lee to score all the way from first to tie the game at 2-2.
Dan Sciantarelli advanced Damon to third on a ground out, and Santiago Ruiz plated him with another ground out to make it a 3-2 score in favor of the Islanders.
The lead was short-lived however, as the Bears responded with two runs in the bottom half of the fifth to make it a 4-3 lead for UCA.
Central Arkansas added one run in the seventh and four in the eighth to finish the scoring at 9-3 in favor of the Bears.
The two teams will finish off play on Sunday, with Daniel Minor throwing against Ryan Angus of UCA in the rubber game of the three-game Southland Conference series.

Hey everyone. Ok, so I'm a 5'9" center and I'm almost 14 years old. I've been practicing purely on my shooting for at least a month now, and no I don't take shot out of my range (Behind free throw), my farthest shots are free-throws, but most of them are close to the basket. And so I was wondering about how many shots does it take from ONE certain spot to be able to make 9/10 shots from that exact spot? 300, 400, 500? Right now I'm a 60% shooter close to the basket (8 ft+) and an 70% free throw shooter... Any help is welcome! Thanks!
There isn't really an exact number because it depends on how many you can make out of 100, 50, etc. It also depends on your previous chance of making a shot. It's important to keep track of how many you shoot and how many you make. And keep practicing. A lot. I've been playing basketball for three seasons and have a 85 percent chance of making a shot inside the three line. Good luck. I hope this helps, my coach answered this question for me last season, so I have somewhat of a answer.
What I do is take multiple shots from everywhere on the court. I've been playing Bball for three seasons now and my goal is to make our school's seventh grade team next year. I just keep shooting everywhere on the court and it helps me get better and faster. Also you should try to work on your catch and shoot. What I do is fling the ball to myself and catch it and shoot it as fast as I can and it helps improve my catch and shoot. Hope this can help you.
"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."-Michael Jordan
Ok, thx! I was thinking the same thing myself... But why are you supposed to record how many shots you make and miss? To see if you get better or not, isn't it kind of a waste of time?
ya, its important to record your shots

The Patrick Administration today announced a process to further accelerate solar energy deployment in Massachusetts. This news comes as Massachusetts is within a year to 18 months of reaching the 400 megawatts (MW) target of the existing solar carve-out.
Establishing a more aggressive solar carve-out program would bring Massachusetts up to the level of other states in the northeast that are supporting local solar industries. New Jersey has a 4 gigawatt (GW) goal for solar energy deployment, while Maryland has a 1.3 GW goal.
