CAMPBELL -- Instructor Andres Perez kneeled on the classroom floor Tuesday, scrunched up his face and acted out a 5-year-old's tantrum aimed at a frazzled mom at the mall.
The 27 parents looking on erupted in laughter and recognition. What parent hasn't endured a similar episode?
The engaging role-playing, fast-paced lessons on child development and psychology and Perez's self-deprecating humor together have made his Positive Discipline for Latino Parents hugely popular in two Campbell's Union elementary schools and elsewhere.
What's more, Perez and preschool Director Gina Phi said, the classes have helped with children's behavior and made a big difference to couples and families.
For its effectiveness, Positive Discipline has won a coveted Glenn W. Hoffmann exemplary program award, to be presented Wednesday by the Santa Clara County School Boards Association.
Perez insists that parents are the experts, and he simply offers tools to succeed. Campbell Union's program meets parents where they are. "These classes do not judge them. They just provide the tools so they can be successful."
He teaches being firm, respectful and kind. "We don't believe in punishment, nor in being permissive," he said.
Begun six years ago, the positive discipline programs, usually conducted in Spanish, have reached hundreds of parents. Two years ago, mothers wanted a way to include more fathers, Phi said. The moms told her, "If we're there, we'll do most of the talking, and they'll sit back." She said the moms worried that during class they'd be giving their husbands sidelong "I told you so" glances that would fail to get them on board.
So in 2012, Perez began a dads-only evening class. "The first night was a little tense, in a class with dads sitting with arms crossed," Phi said. "But by the end of the night, the body language adjusted."
Perez said men may start with a disclaimer that they may be absent because of work, but then some then return and tell him, "This is too important. I can't afford to miss this information." The district provides letters to employers, if needed, akin to a doctor's note, to help parents attend.
At the classes, men let their guard down, Perez said. "They didn't have to worry about, 'oh my God, she's going to give it to me."
"These are really good classes in helping me help my daughter," said Enrique Popete, 37, of San Jose, the father of a 6-year-old. He's so enthusiastic that he's addressed meetings urging other parents to attend. The skills learned reach beyond parenting, he said: "It helps you to be a better person for the community."
Perez holds himself out as one who made a huge change in life. Coming from a technology background, he took classes in the positive discipline technique advocated by Alfred Adler -- and he ended up teaching them and founding his own nonprofit, Edificando Vidas, to work with schools and other organizations.
He sees changes in his students, with some parents reporting spouses who no longer hit kids, more couples cooperating, dads more involved in their kids' lives and families communicating more. Sometimes grandmothers attend. "It's never too late," said Perez. "This class really help you understand yourself, your siblings, family."
On Tuesday, Perez was going over differences between strict, negligent and lax parenting styles, drawing nods and comments. His talk is replete with examples from "neighbors."
After his students role-played the whiny 5-year-old and the mom on a mission at the mall, the class reported how they felt -- angry, manipulated, unloved, exasperated.
Then he asked them to repeat the exercise, but to offer the child choices.
Among the parents, Adriana Leon took fellow classmate Lourdes Saldaña's hand and asked, "Shall we walk fast or slow? Shall we buy cereal or chicken nuggets first? Should we get the milk or the juice?"
Giving children options encourages cooperation and helps children feel included in the task and lets them know they matter, Perez said.
The role-play helps parents experience feelings. "It's not rare to see parents in tears," he said.
On Tuesday, as parents stamped their feet and hunkered down pretending to be children on the verge of losing it, mostly there were tears of laughter.

We're blitzing between rows of grapevines on an ATV, fat tires spewing the dust. The driver is saying something about all the vines we're passing, but the roar of the motor drowns her out.
Now hotfooting it up a steep trail, we halt at the upper edge of this mountain vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. The green Salinas Valley with its checkerboard of crops spreads out below and in the sudden quiet of the silenced engine, we hear starlings chatter as they divebomb the vineyard.
This "vineyard safari" at the Hahn Estates winery, way above the sleepy town of Soledad, demonstrates how far tasting rooms have come in their bid to woo customers. Simply pouring that chardonnay has become old school in a world where winery film festivals, vineyard concerts and wine-and-chocolate pairings are the norm.
These days you can combine your wine tasting with glider rides and kayaked rapids in the Santa Ynez Valley, or traverse the Wine Country via amphibious vehicle in Napa and Sonoma. You can sip your way through an eclectic art gallery-tasting room in Carmel-by-the-Sea or hop aboard an all-terrain vehicle and roar through the vineyards of Hahn.
"The challenge we face attracting visitors is the appellation's geographic isolation," says Paul Clifton, Hahn's director of winemaking. "We're combating that by offering our ATV tours and a culinary program, giving visitors great reasons to come into the Santa Lucia Highlands and spend the day."
With more than 650 acres of vineyards in the region, Hahn is a major player -- and one who is happy to lead the charge in increasing visibility for the wineries along the Highlands "River Road" trail. The ATV tour lasts about an hour and a half, with stops to drink in the extraordinary views, learn about viticulture -- and then drink the wine.
It's so popular, some wine lovers go back for seconds.
"I love being up on top of the mountain and looking out over the valley," says Ileen Groves, a relatively recent Soledad resident. "I love being able to go to places I normally couldn't get to. That's why I went back and did it a second time."
Groves and her husband also have sampled several of the monthly food-and-wine events at Hahn, where small plates are matched with compatible wines. Hahn executive chef Dyon Foster does several types of these, pairing three tapas with three matched wines, or, for example, coupling three tastes with a single wine. Foster's robust wilted kale salad with warm bacon is designed to go with big reds, and his softly spiced lamb kebabs bring out the best in pinot noir and Rhone blends.
And then there's Fromage Friday, a weekly pairing of -- yes, wine and cheese.
Clifton's dream? Seeing other Highlands wineries follow suit with new visitor attractions.
"Eventually, we would love to see dozens of options," he says, so people can "construct a full day of activities to enjoy.
Groves is already a believer. Since relocating her bookkeeping business from Ohio two years ago, she has been reveling in the wine, scenery and activities along the local wine trail. Compared to life in her previous locale, she says, "I feel like I'm Alice and fell down the rabbit hole."
Hahn Estates
Open daily for wine tastings 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and until 5 p.m. weekends. ATV vineyard adventures ($45) and shorter vineyard walking tours ($25) depart at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on weekends. Reservations are required. Details: www.hahnestates.com.

Lacrosse Balls - White - $100 - $250 - At Least 3 Stars
Lacrosse balls are made out of rubber and have to meet either NCAA or NFHS specifications. Beginning in 2014, all lacrosse game balls at every level will be required to meet NOCSAE standards. Lacrosse balls come in many colors, but white lacrosse balls are used for men's lacrosse and yellow balls are used for women's lacrosse. It is vital for any lacrosse player to have a bucket of lacrosse balls to go to a field and shoot or practice on a wall. Some lacrosse balls are specifically created to help a player's reaction. There are also soft lacrosse balls so that players can shoot without breaking any windows. Over time lacrosse balls will lose their grip and therefore throw differently. These lacrosse balls are called "greasers", "shiners" or "gumballs."

Car struck by truck in Highlands Square parking lot
Published: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 at 7:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 at 7:04 p.m.
A Wal-Mart truck driver was cited for unsafe movement after making a wide turn that caused its trailer to slice into the roof of a moving Suzuki Forenza in the Highlands Square Shopping Center parking lot Wednesday evening.
The driver of the Forenza, 18-year-old Estefany Rojas of Hendersonville, and her passenger, Angelica Rojas, 40, were taken to Pardee Hospital with back and neck injuries and lacerations around 5 p.m. The injuries did not appear to be life-threatening at the scene, according to police.
Hendersonville Police Department Sgt. Brandon McGaha said Estefany Rojas was driving in the right lane leading into the center when her vehicle was struck by the 53-foot cargo trailer of the truck. Partially stuck under the truck's carriage, the car was pushed to the curb of a landscape island in the parking lot in front of Staples.
The driver of the Wal-Mart truck, Billy Seiber, was attempting to make a right turn from the left lane and told police that he did not see the car when he turned.
Seiber and another passenger in the Forenza were uninjured.

Serves 20
Roasting Oven Environment
- 1 boneless full leg ham, fully cooked, 15-17 pounds
- 1/4 cup honey Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange flavored liqueur
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Remove the stockingette from the ham and place fat side up into a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate the ham. Add one cup of water and cover with a foil tent.
Place the ham into the oven and cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, rotating the pan every 1/2 hour or so. Monitor the liquid in the bottom of the pan, adding more water when necessary.
Mix the mustard, sugar, liqueur and cloves in a small bowl. Set aside.
When the ham reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees, remove from the oven. If there is a thick fat cap on top of the ham, score into a diamond pattern and apply the glaze. If there isn't a fat cap, there is no need to score, just apply the glaze over the top surface.
Return the ham to the oven, tented. For the next 20 minutes, baste the top of the ham with the pan juices every 5 minutes, until bubbly and a deep golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 20-30 minutes, the internal temperature should rise to 150-155 degrees.

OAKLAND -- The early returns for new Warriors acquisition Jordan Crawford have been terrific.
Acquired from the Boston Celtics in a three-team trade Wednesday to provide punch off the bench, the 6-foot-4 combo guard has done exactly that in his first two games with Golden State. He'll make his home debut Monday when the Warriors host the Indiana Pacers, owners of the NBA's best record.
"He's instant offense for us, and that's why we made the trade," Warriors center Andrew Bogut said of Crawford. "Our bench, love 'em or hate 'em, sometimes struggles to score for us. They battle defensively and rebound, but sometimes we need someone to score."
Bench scoring is perhaps the single biggest concern for a team with eyes on a deep Western Conference playoff run. Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry both averaged in double figures off the bench for the Warriors last season but were lost in free agency.
The offseason addition of Andre Iguodala moved Harrison Barnes to the bench, but he hasn't consistently provided the spark the team needs. Barnes has been held scoreless the past two games and has reached double digits in only three of the past 10.
Enter Crawford, acquired along with MarShon Brooks from Boston in a three-team deal that sent Toney Douglas to Miami.
Crawford, 25, a fourth-year pro from Xavier, scored 10 points Saturday in a 97-87 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Two of his shots were particularly large. After the Pelicans went on a 10-0 run to pull within two early in the fourth quarter, Crawford delivered a fadeaway jumper to slow the momentum.
New Orleans answered with another basket to again get within two, and Crawford delivered a dagger -- draining a 3-pointer that put the Warriors ahead by five. The Pelicans never got closer the rest of the night.
"He can create his own offense, and I thought at a time when we were struggling offensively and the game was back and forth, he really made some big time plays for us," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "There's a reason we went and got him, and he hasn't disappointed."
Crawford gives the Warriors a player who can spell Stephen Curry without robbing them of a ballhandler capable of creating his own shot.
"He's a scorer, he's a playmaker," Curry said. "He changed his role from what he was in Boston a week ago to now coming off the bench trying to give us a boost. He's done a great job the last two games making shots, making plays. He's getting more comfortable as we go along, but he's shown why it's such a good trade for us."
Crawford averaged 13.7 points and 5.7 assists in his 39 games this season for Boston while playing more than 30 minutes a night mostly as a starter. He said he's satisfied being a key guy off the bench for a contender where his job is "just coming in providing a spark and keeping the same pace as the first unit. Keeping the fast pace going, getting everybody shots and playing good basketball."
Crawford brings a swagger to the Warriors' second unit as a player who is supremely confident in his ability to score and make plays. That's something fellow reserve Draymond Green, like Crawford a Michigan native, has seen for a long time.
"He's always been that way," Green said. "Some guys lose that when you get to the NBA. He's a guy who's very confident in his ability. At the end of the day, he is a scorer. In that second unit, he has the green light to score."

Have you started planning your Thanksgiving meal yet? By now, you've probably thought about all the logistical details like: what items are required to bring the meal together; who's responsible for bringing each dish; what time guests should arrive; and where dinner should be served so there's enough room for everyone.
Without having full knowledge and control over many of these elements, you can only trust that everyone involved will come through – on time and as promised. You have no way to tell beforehand that a guest is going to hold up dinner by arriving 45 minutes late or that someone will forget to bring the mashed potatoes or that unexpected guests will show up, requiring more space at the table!

TOLEDO, Ohio – Johnathan Jordan scored a career-high 22 points, but Toledo scored 35 of its 80 points at the free-throw line in knocking off the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team 80-68 on Wednesday night at John F. Savage Arena. Rian Pearson led all scorers with 30 points – earning 16 at the stripe for the Rockets.
A&M – Corpus Christi was whistled for 34 team fouls, as the Rockets went 35-for-46 from the line, including 27-for-34 after the half. Julius Brown added 16 points and Reese Holliday posted 12 in an 8-for-8 night at the stripe.
Joy Williamson scored 10 points on 4-for-9 shooting, while Zane Knowles added a career-best nine points and nabbed eight rebounds. The Islanders won the battle of the boards, 35-34. The Islanders held Toledo to 4-of-18 shooting after the break.
Early on, the two teams traded points back-and-forth, with the Islanders holding a 9-8 lead. Five of the visitors' first seven points came from Jordan, while the Rockets got all of their first eight points from Pearson. But the rest of the UT squad heated up at that point, embarking on a 10-0 run to open up a nine-point advantage at 18-9.
From there, the Rockets and Islanders stayed even, with the home squad keeping the lead at nine at 29-20. UT then got 3-of-4 free throws on a crucial personal and technical foul call to push the lead to 12, and were able to counter every punch the Islanders delivered to enter the locker room with a 44-30 lead. Pearson had 18 of the UT points before the break.
Out of the half, Toledo used a decided free-throw advantage to embark on a 13-5 run and push their lead to a game-high 22 at 57-35. The Rockets scored nine of their first 16 points of the half at the line to bolster their offensive efforts. The biggest bright spot early in the half was Jordan, who scored eight of his team's first 16 points after the break.
After the lead advanced to 59-37, the road team began its comeback. A 19-8 rally cut the lead to 11 points at 67-56, with Jordan doing most of the damage. The sophomore scored 10 points in the rally and assisted on two of the Islanders' other three baskets in the run. The Islanders continued to chip away at the deficit, getting it to single digits on a pair of free throws by Hameed Ali. A&M – Corpus Christi got to within eight on a pair of free throws from Jordan with 1:08 to play, but that was as close as the road squad would get as Toledo finished off the 12-point win.
The Islanders remain on the road this weekend with a contest at Iowa on Saturday at noon at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Yannis Koutroupis will have the call on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX starting at 11:45 a.m. with the pregame. Updates will also be provided on the Islanders Men's Basketball Twitter feed (@IslandersMBB).

About the Book
"Signature in the Cell is a defining work in the discussion of life's origins and the question of whether life is a product of unthinking matter or of an intelligent mind. For those who disagree with ID, the powerful case Meyer presents cannot be ignored in any honest debate. For those who may be sympathetic to ID, on the fence, or merely curious, this book is an engaging, eye-opening, and often eye-popping read" — American Spectator
Named one of the top books of 2009 by the Times Literary Supplement (London), this controversial and compelling book from Dr. Stephen C. Meyer presents a convincing new case for intelligent design (ID), based on revolutionary discoveries in science and DNA. Along the way, Meyer argues that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution as expounded in The Origin of Species did not, in fact, refute ID. If you enjoyed Francis Collins's The Language of God, you'll find much to ponder—about evolution, DNA, and intelligent design—in Signature in the Cell.
A Compelling Case for Intelligent Design Based on Revolutionary Discoveries in Science
In Signature in the Cell, Stephen Meyer has written the first comprehensive DNA-based argument for intelligent design. As he tells the story of successive attempts to unravel a mystery that Charles Darwin did not address—how did life begin?—Meyer develops the case for this often-misunderstood theory using the same scientific method that Darwin himself pioneered. Offering a fresh perspective on one of the enduring mysteries of modern biology, Meyer convincingly reveals that the argument for intelligent design is not based on ignorance or "giving up on science," but instead on compelling, and mounting, scientific evidence.

February 15, 2013
From April 2013, Real Time Information (RTI) will be introduced – representing the biggest reform of business tax reporting in 70 years.
According to HMRC, the current tax reporting system is not "fit for purpose" and the introduction of Real Time Information (RTI) "will be better for employers, better for employees and better for Britain".
HMRC is writing to all employers this month telling them what they need to do to get ready for the introduction of RTI. The new system will affect all business owners using the PAYE system to pay their staff or themselves.
Under RTI, employers will benefit from simpler requirements for reporting to HMRC and from the abolition of the extensive annual tax return under the old system. According to HMRC, RTI will deliver savings to business of £300 million in reduced administration costs.
From April, HMRC will get tax details from companies every time wages are paid, rather than just once a year. This, says HMRC, will make records more accurate and up-to-date and will reduce the number of cases where someone is found to have under or overpaid tax.
Lin Homer, chief executive of HMRC, said: "Businesses should act now to be ready for April, when RTI comes in. PAYE directly affects every employee in the country and that is why it is vital that it reflects, on time and accurately, the tax circumstances of the millions of employees who depend on the system to get their tax right."
Homer added: "RTI delivers on all fronts. Business costs will be cut by £300 million a year, employees will be taxed more accurately and fraud and error in the tax credit system will be reduced by hundreds of millions of pounds every year."
Business can find more information on the HMRC website. It is also offering free software to help firms with nine or fewer employees to prepare for the change. There are more resources and RTI guidance on Tax Donut.

Int'l - Living in the U.S.A
St. Charles, MO:
Lindenwood University is located in the heart of St. Charles, a river city with a unique historical perspective, beautiful sites, friendly people and a pace just a little slower than that of the big city. St. Charles with a population of 60,321, it is the second largest city in the St. Louis region of 2.6 million and is within 25 minutes of all of the metropolitan services, world class sports, theater, symphony, art museum and science center. We are also near the champion St. Louis Rams Football and St. Louis Cardinals Baseball teams. St. Charles enjoys the changes of the four-season climate. Winters are brisk but seldom severe. Summers can be hot and humid but usually not for extended periods of time. Normal annual precipitation is about 40 inches. You can find very helpful visitor information at http://www.historicstcharles.com/
Don't believe all of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans. Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large segment of the population. Remember that American films and television exaggerate in order to generate excitement, and so present a rather distorted picture of what life in the United States is really like.
Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries. It is common for Americans to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name. Nevertheless, good manners and politeness are always appropriate. Some of the more prestigious restaurants require a coat and tie. Americans tend to dress up for cultural events (the opera, theater and ballet) and to dress down for athletic events. Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals, or any other event with religious overtones.

American names are written and spoken with the given name first and the family name last. So John Smith's family name is Smith, not John.
In a formal setting, address men as "Mister" (abbreviated as "Mr."), married women as "Misses" (abbreviated as "Mrs."), and unmarried women as "Miss" (abbreviated as "Ms."). These days many women prefer to be addressed using the abbreviations "Ms." or "M.", pronounced "miz". If the person has an
In an informal situation, Americans will introduce each other by first name, without titles, and occasionally by just the last name. If you are introduced to somebody by first name, you can address him or her by first name the next time you meet. The only exception would be for someone who holds an important position, such as the university president or provost. Unless they tell you otherwise, faculty should be addressed using their title and last name (e.g., "Professor Smith").
When in doubt, use the formal manner of address, since it is better to err on the side of formality. It is also appropriate to ask how they prefer to be addressed.
Restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill, so you should tip the waiter 15% of the total bill. If service was slow or particularly bad, some Americans will tip only 10%. Likewise, if service was particularly good, it is appropriate to tip 20%. If service was so bad that you would never eat in the restaurant again, leave two cents. This is a deliberate insult, because it tells the waiter that you didn't forget to leave a tip. Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service. You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant.
Taxi drivers expect to get a tip equal to 15% of the total fare. If the driver was especially helpful or got you to your destination more quickly than you expected, give a 20% tip.
Hotel bellhops expect a $1 tip for helping you with your bags. If you order room service, the gratuity is included in the bill. Coat checkroom attendants expect $1 per coat. Hairdressers and barbers expect a tip of 15% of the bill. Valet parking attendants expect a $1 tip.
Federal regulations prohibit letter carriers from accepting cash gifts in any amount, or gifts worth $20 or more from customers.
If you are in doubt, ask whether it is appropriate to tip or whether a gratuity is included in the bill.
Bribery is not considered appropriate and often illegal. Attempting to bribe a policeman will certainly get you arrested.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is glad to be done with all the election hullabaloo.
Finally we have the time to focus on truly important matters. Such as posing babies in what appears to be precarious fashion. Just check out this pic sent in recently by Jenny Hindorff of her 9-month-old son, Dustin, hanging out along Sapphire Point.
The little tyke appears to be quite the mountaineer for such a young age. Not wanting to appear that she needlessly endangered her child, Jenny was kind enough to point out that Dustin's aunt was supporting the little guy from behind. Which we must say is a good idea. Here at the SU World Headquarters we don't get that much interaction with the youngest of our species, but we imagine that they're probably not the most well-coordinated.
So if you've got a pic of one of your munchkins doing something that looks dangerous (but really isn't) send it our way at email@example.com.
Changing gears, so we went to grab a soda, pop, beverage, whatever you like to call it, out of the vending machine today and were disappointed to see that we're still left with only two choices: some artificially lemon-flavored iced tea and lemon-lime soda.
We're not necessarily opposed to either of the drinks, it's just that when you go to the machine for a Coke and you come back with a lemon-lime soda, it feels like a little bit of your soul dies.
Well, maybe it's not that bad, but it is disheartening nonetheless.
With that we're out to forage for a more refreshing post-column drink. Maybe we'll give that lemon-flavored tea a try.
Catch ya on the flip side.

Fundraiser for ex-Ansonia coach Hunt on Sunday
A benefit dinner for former Ansonia head coach Jack Hunt will be held Sunday, from 2-6 p.m., at St. Sebastian's Hall in Ansonia.
Hunt is battling cancer. A public address announcement of his condition was made during the Chargers' game with Wilby last week.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. Checks can be made out to Ansonia Gridiron Club and are available at the door.
Hunt coached 17 seasons at Ansonia, guiding the Chargers to seven state titles and compiling a 193-26 career record from 1987 to 2005. His winning percentage of .881 is third all-time in Connecticut.
Ansonia charge
The Chargers visit Watertown tonight at 6 and will by vying for its 20th win in a row, the longest active streak in the state.
Xavier's 30-game win streak snapped last week when it lost to Hand of Madison. The Tigers have won 18 in a row.
The Chargers (5-0) have not lost since the Class State championship game in 2010, 49-28, to St. Joseph of Trumbull. They went 14-0 in 2011, capturing the Class M state title.
Upgrade at Van Why
The Gilbert School football field in Winsted is getting a much-needed upgrade.
New bleachers are being installed with an additional seating capacity of 475 at Van Why Field and should be ready by this weekend. The cost of the project was $55,000, according to athletic director Patrick Cooke, who said that the upgrade was necessary for safety reasons.
The Gilbert-Northwestern football team (2-3) is idle this week and hosts Avon (5-0) Oct. 27 at 1:30 p.m. That game marks homecoming.
Back to work
Former Watertown High football coach Roger Ouellette was hired last week to join the Immaculate High of Danbury staff. Ouellette will run the defense for Tom Taylor's staff.
Taylor is the former head coach at Brookfield, New Milford and Canterbury School.
The current athletic director at Immaculate is Jeff Castaldi, a former player at Holy Cross who previously had been the athletic director at SWC foe New Farifield.
Immaculate's varsity has lost 25 in a row, including all five this year, and hasn't won a game since Oct. 10, 2009, 28-21 over Joel Barlow.
The Mustangs play at Pomperaug Friday night at 7.
Ouellette stepped down at Watertown as the head football and baseball coach in 2009 after two decades at the school.
The Southern Connecticut State graduate had previously coached at New Fairfield and Cheshire.
Battle of unbeatens
Southington (5-0 overall, 2-0 CCC Division I-West) meets Glastonbury (5-0 overall, 2-0 CCC Division I-East) Saturday night at 7 in Meriden.
In the state media poll, Glastonbury is No. 9 followed by Southington at 10.
Both teams have scored 197 points this season, but Southington has allowed just 28.
In the CIAC LL rankings, the Tomahawks are second and Blue Knights are No. 7.
Key NVL matchups
Wolcott (3-0, 5-0) leads the Brass Division by a half-game over Ansonia (2-0, 5-0) and hosts Derby (2-1, 4-1) Friday night at 7.
In two huge Copper Division matchups Friday, Naugatuck (3-0, 4-1) hosts Holy Cross (1-1, 3-2) at 7, and Torrington (2-1, 2-3) hosts Woodland (3-0, 3-1), also at 7.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., speaks at a town hall meeting at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, N.C., Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2008.(AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- President Barack Obama says he's "just okay" at debating, as his campaign continued trying to lower expectations ahead of his first face-off with Republican Mitt Romney.
Speaking at an evening campaign rally Sunday, Obama graded his GOP opponent as "a good debater." The candidates will compete in their first of three debates Wednesday.
The president says Americans deserve a discussion focused on what the candidates would do to keep the country growing and restore middle class security.
Obama spoke to more than 11,000 people gathered at a high school in Las Vegas. The rally was aimed in part at rallying Hispanic voters and featured a performance by the Mexican rock band Mana.
The president is staying in Nevada until Wednesday, holding intensive debate preparations with top advisers.
How do you think the president will fare in the debates?

KINGS BEACH, Calif. —-Beloved Kings Beach United Methodist Church Pastor Kathryn Dunning has been appointed to Eureka, Calif. She has touched the lives of many in the North Lake Tahoe area during her 11 years of service and Kings Beach will lose a great friend of our community when she is gone. She will be greatly missed.
During her 11 years as pastor, she has also been a vital part of the lives of many as a chaplain at Tahoe Forest Hospital and as a volunteer at Resort Ministries, providing Sunday worship for skiers at local resorts. Kathryn has also worked closely with organizations such as the Family Resource Center, the North Tahoe Business Association, North Tahoe United for Action and the North Tahoe Neighborhood Coalition. She has been an active volunteer tutoring children in reading, building houses with Habitat for Humanity and was a central part in the joining of a Spanish speaking church into Kings Beach United Methodist Church.

David Beaver knows exactly where he was 30 years ago on Jan. 24, when Steve Jobs introduced the Macintosh to an astonished world.
He was helping Jobs, who was his boss, with the sort of stagecraft that maybe you've noticed is a big part of Apple (AAPL) releases to this day.
"The idea of having the Mac boot and introduce itself came up in just the few days before the rollout, and the software and hardware teams scrambled to hand-build totally custom Mac hardware (with video output to feed the giant video projector) and software (that 'spoke') until very late the night before the intro," Beaver, who was a Jobs assistant in the early 1980s, wrote in an email.
"There were three identical custom Macs in carrying cases lined up in the wings of the stage, and three identical boot disks; and the team had tested every combination of disks and computers the night before," Beaver, of Portola Valley, continued. "So Steve randomly picked one of the computers, and pulled one of the disks out of his pocket to boot it. Everyone was pretty happy when it worked."
What a white-knuckle ride that must have been. Sometimes it's hard to remember the tangible leap forward that little machine represented. Today we're surrounded by sophisticated computing power and performance that we've stitched into our everyday lives. But the day Jobs walked onto the Flint Center stage in Cupertino was a time when computing was a foreign concept for most; an activity reserved for academics, researchers, military brains, big corporations, bankers and insurance actuaries.
The Mac translated computing into a language that everyone could understand. Which is why, when I wrote recently about the Mac's 30th birthday, I asked you to send me your early Mac stories. As I read the notes you sent, something struck me. Yes, the Mac represented a technological revolution -- wide use of the graphical user interface, a mouse-based navigation system, a portable all-in-one box -- but the real revolution was in how people lived with the Mac. The real revolution led to a new way to do the mundane and sublime.
Allen Smith, of Walnut Creek, was in charge of corporate computing for a big oil company around the time the Mac was released. Jobs met with Smith and a group of other executives to show them what Apple's machine could do.
"He was an amazing and charismatic man," Smith recalls. And he was strategic. He sent a Mac to each of the executives at the meeting. Smith spent some time setting his up, as his 4-year-old daughter watched. Of course, she wanted to play with it. Smith showed his daughter the MacPaint program and she went to work. Smith briefly left the room before returning.
"I went in my home office and she had drawn a picture of a house, a tree, and a dog," Smith wrote. "She wanted to print it, which we did. I knew right then that I was looking at the future of computing in some significant way. To have a 4-year-old little girl be able to use the computer that easily and effectively was a remarkable achievement."
Oh, and Smith still has that Mac. And yes, it still works.
It was the little things that delighted in 1984, like the flexibility of fonts and the ability -- especially if you were a foreign-language teacher -- to easily type accent marks and other squiggles that make all the difference.
"It was a small miracle," writes Robert Davis, a Lynbrook High School teacher at the time. The word processor allowed him to create half-page quizzes, without having to make corrections by literally cutting (with a scissors) and pasting (yes, with actual paste). He could type é, ¿,Ñ and ç -- and print them all out. And he could produce a second version of the quiz for the second class of the day -- the one that met after lunch (keeping honest students honest).
Renée Sawazaki a language professor living in Japan, still remembers standing in line while a student at UC Berkeley to order an early Mac.
"Tears of gratitude welled in my eyes as I proudly filled out my order form," she wrote, "thanking Apple over and over for the generous student discount they offered." The Mac made the regular French papers she was writing a breeze to type -- not to mention that she could finally type her first name with the accent in place.
And the stories go on, the Mac firmly attached to life's memories. Pam McMahon remembers fighting the successful battle to save the Vallco Fashion Park ice rink with the help of her husband, Patrick, and their mighty Mac. Fred Wilkinson, of Santa Clara, remembers the thrill of buying an original Mac at age 60. Yes, he's 90 now and still writing on a Mac (13-inch Mac Pro).
Stephen Reese, of Charlotte, N.C., remembers test driving a Mac for the first time at a mall. "I experienced the purest sense of true magic that I had ever witnessed." Jacquie Heffner, of San Jose, recalls how her stress level plummeted when the Mac arrived at the nonprofit where she was working as an administrative assistant. She's been a Mac fan ever since. "Today we own an iPad and an iMac, but neither will ever hold as special a place in my heart as that first Mac."
In other words, happy birthday, Mac.

I have created a drawing that I want to add to a library but I need to move the reference point. If I create a block, I get the option to move it, but I can't add a drawing to a library that contains a block.
How do I move the reference point?
Any help would be appreciated.

Favour from an old boss...
We were due to be playing Chelsea on Sunday but it's been postponed due to their FA Cup semi, which means by our next PL match both them and Arsenal will have played their games in hand (for now at least). Not only that, but said games in hand are against none other than Fulham and Norwich... I'm not sure I can remember us relying on the old guard this much since they were among us!
For poetry's sake it'd be nice if they took a few points off them, I reckon Arsenal-Norwich might throw up a few surprises, and should be a good match either way.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
When I first read that the Chelsea game had been postponed, I thought it was a benefit as it gave us more time to recover from the Basil/Basle/Basel/Baal trip.
Now I'm not so sure. I don't like the thought that we end up playing catch up rather than the other way round - as irrespective of whether there are games in hand or not, there appears to me to be an advantage in having the extra points in the bag. Obviously though, if that Woolwich bunch fail to capitalise on the intervening games, then the pressure falls back on them and the gap would then have a benefit.
Irrespective of the benefit of the Europa itself, I think the Basle game takes on a massive importance for us. A decisive win would give that boost in confidence again, but if we play poorly and/or get stuffed then AVB will have a task on his hands lifting the team for the Chelsea game.

Dammit, I've just been reminded that Chelsea are off to Russia for tomorrow night, so will probably be knackered on Sunday, so it probably would be a good time to face them. However, they've still got a lot of games to go so fatigue might just carry through to when we play the rearranged fixture...

Argh, wrote a reply then accidentally closed the page!
I see what you're saying, but those games in hand make me really uneasy, I'd rather we were in a legit position to fight from. If we move into 5th a result you'd hope it would be the impetus to step it up a gear for the last few games
It's funny, for months now I've had a gut feeling (completely irrational so utterly pointless to mention) we'd finish either 3rd or 5th, 4th just hasn't entered my mind, now we're nearing the point we'll find out I just don't want to know!

When the Volvo Group's unique hybrid solution was unveiled, it received considerable attention. No wonder, since it was completely different from anything that the heavy vehicle market had seen to date.
A common concept
Not only did the hybrid powertrain deliver unrivalled power and energy levels compared to our competitors' hybrids. The I-SAM concept (Integrated Starter Alternator Motor) also featured the level of standardization needed to enable hybrid technology to have a significant commercial impact on the market for heavy vehicles.
Complete powertrain integration
Another difference between the Volvo Group's solution and those presented by our competitors is the level of powertrain integration. Instead of buying complete systems from suppliers, our strategy is to fully integrate the hybrid components and develop vehicle control software in-house.
This creates considerable advantages in terms of powertrain performance and vehicle energy management.
Innovative and dedicated engineers
The I-SAM concept is a truly revolutionary technology for the entire Volvo Group. This revolution is a result of innovative and dedicated efforts from a large number of engineers throughout the Volvo Group. They are represented by the team receiving the 2009 Volvo Technology Award.
I-SAM delivers high torque…
The Volvo Group's hybrid powertrain consists of a diesel engine, an automatic gearbox and the I-SAM system. I-SAM is a permanent magnet motor running on alternating current. The vehicle's braking energy is converted into electricity and stored in the onboard batteries.
The substantial torque of the electric motor offers good performance at low speeds and supplements the diesel engine at higher speeds.
…and saves fuel
I-SAM enables substantial fuel savings. For example, city buses can, under optimum conditions, cut fuel consumption by 30%.
In addition, emissions, noise and brake wear are reduced, while driveability is enhanced.

The return of the gas tax could hurt more than your wallet. The soaring gas prices may threaten field trips and bus routes in Columbia County.
The school system has a computer that maps out the most efficient routes, but this may not be enough. Columbia County may not have enough in the budget to keep up with rising prices. They have extra funds just in case. Still, some serious cutbacks are possible. The first thing on the chopping block is field trips. Columbia Middle School teacher Janet Niehoff has a backup plan: "If those get cancelled, we will try to do other hands-on activities in their place."
Board of Education Chairman Regina Bucafusco is worried because the Georgia gas tax is back in place this weekend.
"After this weekend, nobody really knows how things are gonna go, whether or not the refineries are up. We're gonna wait and see just like everyone else," Bucafusco said.
The Department of Transportation has one hundred sixty buses that run each day, each for three hours in the morning and three in the afternoon.
On an average day, the buses in Columbia County use 2200 gallons of diesel fuel. That comes out to about forty-nine hundred dollars.
The Department of Transportation is asking bus drivers t ocut the engine whenever possible. And director Dewayne Porter keeps a close eye on bus routes.
"We're constantly looking at them to make sure they are as efficient as possible," Porter said.
Their computers map out the most efficient route to each student's home. If anything changes, they will make sure to get the message out to parents and schools. Janet Niehoff's main concern right now is keeping her field trips.
"We believe the hands-on type activities reinforce what we do in the classroom." Niehoff said.
Director of Transportation Dewayne Porter says they are looking to possibly adopt a fuel conservation plan. Depending on the level of the shortage, the plan calls for all sports and extra trips to be cancelled.

NC customers get $87 in health insurance rebates
Published: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 2:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 2:02 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Nearly 200,000 North Carolina customers are getting rebates averaging almost $90 because their health insurance company could not keep overhead costs down.
The U.S. Health and Human Services Department said Thursday that the money goes to consumers whose health insurer failed in 2012 to meet a benchmark requiring that 80 percent of each premium dollar to go toward medical services and less toward overhead and bonuses.
Insurers are required by the federal health overhaul law to limit profits, salaries, and other administrative costs to no more than 20 percent of premiums. Those that do not must rebate their customers either with a check in the mail, a reimbursement to their credit or debit card, or premium reduction.
This is the first time North Carolina residents will receive the rebates.

The first of three men charged in the theft of $14,000 in copper piping from Eramet Marietta was sentenced Wednesday to 31 days in the Washington County Jail.
Prosecutors said John L. Wyatt, 56, of 125 Maranatha Circle in Belpre Township, did not participate in the Feb. 4, 2012, theft but two other suspects used a vehicle belonging to his girlfriend to steal the approximately 15,000 pounds of lead-encased copper piping from the Eramet facility on Ohio 7 south of Marietta. The stolen materials were stored in an attached garage at his house and he appeared to have been stripping the material with the other men when Washington County sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant at his residence nearly two weeks after the theft, county Prosecutor Jim Schneider said.
Wyatt pleaded guilty Jan. 31 to a fourth-degree felony charge of receiving stolen property. In exchange, a third-degree felony count of tampering with evidence was dropped, along with a second receiving stolen property charge related to the discovery on his property of a Bobcat hauling trailer reported stolen from Columbus.

Schneider said Wyatt was out of state when the theft occurred but phone records indicate he spoke with one of the other suspects around the time it was occurring.
Wyatt's attorney, Patrick McFarland, said after Wednesday's sentencing that his client did not participate in the planning of the theft.
"The fellows had his vehicle while he was in Florida, used it while he was there, took the property to his residence," he said. "He found out about it later, got caught up in it."
Fact Box
Eramet copper theft
John L. Wyatt, 56, of Belpre, was sentenced Wednesday to 31 days in the Washington County Jail on a fourth-degree felony charge of receiving stolen property.
Richard L. Nolan, 39, of Parkersburg, is scheduled to be sentenced at 8 a.m. today on a fourth-degree felony count of grand theft and a fifth-degree felony count of breaking and entering.
Jonathan P. Stringer, 31, of Parkersburg, is scheduled to be sentenced at 8 a.m. April 11 on a fourth-degree felony count of receiving stolen property.

Wyatt did not speak during the sentencing except to answer "yes, sir" and "no, sir" to Burnworth's questions.
The judge sentenced Wyatt to the 31-day jail term agreed to in the plea bargain, with credit for one day already served. At Schneider's request, he began that sentence Wednesday but was to be released this morning and return on April 8.
Schneider said at that point, Wyatt will have refills of prescription medication he needs, sparing the county the expense of providing it while he is in the jail.
Burnworth agreed to the request, but warned Wyatt of the consequences if he did not return on the stated date.
"If you don't show up on April 8 at 6 p.m., you could be charged with the crime of escape, which would only exacerbate your situation," he said.
The other two defendants in the case have also pleaded guilty.
Richard L. Nolan, 39, of 4843 15th Ave., Parkersburg, pleaded guilty on Jan. 31 to one fourth-degree felony count of grand theft and a fifth-degree felony count of breaking and entering. His sentencing was scheduled for 8 a.m. today.
Jonathan P. Stringer, 31, of 410 Victoria Ave., Parkersburg, pleaded guilty Feb. 22 to a fourth-degree felony count of receiving stolen property and is set to be sentenced at 8 a.m. April 11.
