About the Book
In End of Days, James L. Swanson, the New York Times bestselling author of Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer, brings to life the minute-by-minute details of the JFK assassination—from the Kennedys' arrival in Texas through the shooting in Dealey Plaza and the shocking aftermath that continues to reverberate in our national consciousness fifty years later.
The assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, has been the subject of enduring debate, speculation, and numerous conspiracy theories, but Swanson's absorbing and complete account follows the event hour-by-hour, from the moment Lee Harvey Oswald conceived of the crime three days before its execution, to his own murder two days later at a Dallas Police precinct at the hands of Jack Ruby, a two-bit nightclub owner.
Based on sweeping research never before collected so powerfully in a single volume, and illustrated with photographs, End of Days distills Kennedy's assassination into a pulse-pounding thriller that is sure to become the definitive popular account of this historic crime for years to come.
Here, for the first time in decades, is a gripping, minute-by-minute account of the day President John F. Kennedy was shot, told by James Swanson, author of the New York Times bestseller Manhunt, which so vividly brought the Lincoln assassination to life. In End of Days, he reveals Lee Harvey Oswald's bizarre history of violence and follows John and Jacqueline Kennedy's wildly successful swing through Texas and their fateful Dallas motorcade ride. In the most riveting account ever written about the assassin's shots, Swanson takes us to the sixth-floor Texas Book Depository window to look through Oswald's rifle sights. Swanson also re-creates the last hours of the doomed assassin and the days of national mourning for the president that followed, culminating in a funeral that united the country in a tearful farewell to the fallen commander in chief.
In End of Days, Swanson combines extensive research with his unparalleled storytelling abilities to turn the events of one of the darkest days of the twentieth century into a pulse-pounding thriller that will remain the definitive popular account of the assassination for years to come.

1. Remembering what should go in the book: 13:29
Writing a book about an open source editor and its extensions is difficult. I want to describe many of the things people can do in order to customize and make the most of Emacs, but I don't want to just rewrite the manual. I find myself summarizing a few bits and expounding on others.
The key thing I want to add to this is excitement. I want people to be able to *see* what these changes result in and how those changes will improve their productivity or make them happier. ;) (Tall order for a text editor!) I want this book to be less about a laundry list of things people can do and more about looking over geeks' shoulders and being inspired to hack and learn more. That's the kind of book I want to write: a book that makes people go, "You can do that with Emacs?!" I want to write a book that convinces people to spend some time exploring the limits of their software (even vi!), because hidden features can totally rock. I also want to write a book that shows how all these little things combined can be absolutely cool, the way my Planner+BBDB+Gnus+everything-else combination works out really well for me. The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
I sometimes find it hard to hang on to that thought when I'm reading the user's manual and trying to make sure I'm covering the essentials. I find myself writing from the point of view of the software instead of from the point of view of the user. What I need to do is to focus on the user's story, on the problem or idea or opportunity. *Then* I can write about solutions for that. I think I need to change the outline I'm working with—it's too software-centric.
It doesn't have to be a perfect book, but I want it to be exciting and alive. =)

Organic Darjeeling Estate
Black tea from Darjeeling, India, our Organic Darjeeling Estate Darjeeling tea leaves are sourced from the venerable Darjeeling plantation in India. These silver tipped black tea leaves yield a fruity and floral flavor resulting in an aromatic and memorable cup. Picked from a 140-year-old garden tucked away in the mountain folds of India's Darjeeling region.
Organic black tea
Black leaves with gold and silver tips
Ripe muscat and flowery nose
Golden, amber liquor
Round and crisp body with sweet, floral finish
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded teaspoon of loose tea per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 3 - 5 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.

Black tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols that aid in fighting harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals can cause heart disease, cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking black tea with its high antioxidant levels may help protect the body by combating harmful free radical activity.
Further health benefits of black tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, black tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium, Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
A delicious and elegant tea that can be sipped and enjoyed anytime of day. A versatile tea, Organic Darjeeling Estate pairs well with spicy and nutty foods. Serve alongside creamy cheeses and fresh fruit.

VAIL - With a chairlift rolling just steps away, more than 100 people started out their Sunday morning by running up Vail Mountain.
The Vail Uphill race, one of the final events of the Winter Mountain Games, is an unforgiving battle against one's personal endurance. Add in the fact that it began at 7 a.m. in cold, snowy weather, and the event just seems flat-out cruel.
Paving the way for the entire field was Vail resident Josiah Middaugh, who finished at Eagle's Nest with a time of 32:35.10 - about 15 seconds faster than second-place finisher Travis Macy, of Evergreen.
Middaugh, who also won Saturday's 10-kilometer cross-country snowshoe race, said with a half-hour uphill race, there's not really any time to be tactical or strategic.
"You've got to go as hard as you can go from the start and just hope you can hold on, so that's what I did," Middaugh said.
While Macy said Middaugh "owns the Rockies" when it comes to these kinds of races - Middaugh won both events at last year's inaugural Winter Mountain Games, too - even someone who wins as effortlessly as Middaugh struggles a little bit.
"I enjoyed about 10 percent of it - the rest is pretty much pain," Middaugh said. "It's going right at the limit there and seeing if I can hold it."
Taking the top spot for the women was Grand Junction resident Kim Dobson, a summer mountain runner who said she had never raced on snow until Sunday.
"It was awesome. It was hard," Dobson said shortly after making it to the top. "It's like your heart is maxing out the whole way and you're just gasping for air, but it was beautiful."
Dobson could feel the burn in her lungs after she caught her breath. The pain didn't stop her from calling the race "a lot of fun."
"I'm kind of a strange person in that way - I like to suffer," Dobson said.
Ultimate Mountain Challenge
Sunday morning's uphill race was the final of three events for the Ultimate Mountain Challenge, a three-day race that tested athletes' physical and mental abilities. It began Friday morning with sunshine and relatively warm temperatures at the Vail Nordic Center, followed by a Saturday morning ski-mountaineering race up and down Vail Mountain for more than three hours. Finding enough energy leftover from such grueling events was tough for some of the athletes Sunday morning.
"This is actually one of the harder events just because you're so tired already from the weekend," said Jen Gersbach-Venzara, the second-place Ultimate Mountain Challenge finisher for the women's professional division.
Gersbach-Venzara chose to skin up in Sunday's race, a choice many Ultimate Mountain Challenge competitors made due to some fresh snow overnight on Vail Mountain. The snow didn't amount to much - some reported half-an-inch or so on the trail on the way up - so many athletes chose to run in regular running shoes.
That's how Inge Perkins made her way up the hill to finish first for the women's professional division. It was the right decision, she said, because she's a strong runner.
Perkins said her most difficult time during the challenge was Saturday's ski-mountaineering race.
"Yesterday was really hard. It was definitely a challenge mentally because it was so cold, but it was fun," Perkins said. "I really liked (the Ultimate Mountain Challenge). I've never done any multi-day-long races before. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time, so I'm glad I got to do it."
Reigning Ultimate Mountain Challenge champion Brian Smith, of Gunnison, picked up his second win in the event this year, a welcomed reason for celebration Sunday morning as he crossed the Vail Uphill finish line.
"It feels good," Smith said. "This (Uphill) is such a brutal event, but it's short. You just keep your head down and keep plodding along and you'll get there."
Smith, who ran in running shoes, used ski poles Sunday, something he didn't do in last year's race. He was glad he did because they provided leverage on the steep sections, he said.
"I've never run with poles before, but when you're going uphill - straight uphill - it makes a huge difference."
The second- and third-place Ultimate Mountain Challenge finishers Stephen White and Mike Kloser, respectively, skinned up the hill Sunday. Kloser said he might have been faster in his shoes, but there's no way to know for sure.
White woke up in the morning and saw the snow coming down and thought about more than just the race - he thought about what he'd be doing after the race.
"With the snow coming down, I thought about skiing powder down (the mountain) at the end."

Yelchin likes improv method behind 'Like Crazy'
Star thrilled audiences connecting with Sundance winner
Anyone who's been in love certainly knows it's unpredictable, so it only made sense that the stars of "Like Crazy" -- Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones -- approached their roles in improvisational fashion.
And so far, the response to their realistic "reel love" with "Like Crazy" has worked. As it approaches its opening in theaters nationwide Friday, the indie romance brings with it not only the Grand Jury Prize from this year's Sundance Film Festival and various other festival accolades, but a deeply emotional story about the highs and lows surrounding a long-distance relationship that audiences have been identifying with.
"As we've been unleashing this movie upon the world -- especially at Sundance because we spoke to a lot of audiences -- we've found that people have really been connecting with it," Yelchin said in a recent interview. "It's not melodramatic or over your head. It's just about those moments of love that people know about."
Written and directed by Drake Doremus, "Like Crazy" tells the story of college students Jacob (Yelchin) and Anna (Jones), whose deep love for one another is challenged when Anna, a British citizen, violates the terms of her student visa and is not allowed to return to the U.S. after a trip home.
Up against strict legal systems on both sides of the ocean and appeal processes that separate them indefinitely, Anna and Jacob struggle with their feelings for one another -- and other people who come into their lives -- hoping somehow that the first true love they've experienced will survive it all.
Since most of the scenes in "Like Crazy" were improvised, the process, Yelchin said, was much different that other films that he had previously worked on.
To start, Yelchin said, Doremus provided him and Jones a 50-page outline that contained subtext, objectives and character descriptions, which eventually led to seven, 10-hour days of rehearsals for the trio.
"After that process, you develop a comfort and an intimacy with one another so when start filming, you commit 1,000 percent," Yelchin said. "There are no holds barred. You're just going for it. At a certain point, you lose yourself in it."
When you hear of improvisation as it relates to film, it's generally associated to comedies like "Waiting for Guffman," "Best in Show" or "Bridesmaids" than it is drama.
The 21-year-old Yelchin, who did improv on an episode of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" when he was a young teen, said improvising a role in a drama akin to "Like Crazy" definitely requires a different set of acting sensibilities.
"On 'Curb,' I wasn't crafting a character so much, because (in improvised comedy) you have gimmick of a situation, then you play with it and it's funny," Yelchin observed. "Here, you really have to known this character inside and out so completely that everything you say as that character would be something that they would say as a person. It's really a gift for an actor to have that freedom because you can go wherever you want to go, say whatever you want to say, or even not speak when you don't want to speak. It really allows you to explore a character's soul."
And while Yelchin has had the pleasure of exploring that soul, audience members are finding it with him, too. Yelchin -- who's had a full movie slate this year with a pivotal role in Jodie Foster's "The Beaver" and as the star of the remake of "Fright Night" -- said the most satisfying experiences after making "Like Crazy" has been the one-on-one connections he's been making with audiences members.
"People of all ages and both sexes -- anyone who's ever been in a relationship and fell in love, said that they really related to it," Yelchin said. "I've had middle-aged women come up to me to say they related to it, and I've had young guys tell me the same. I've heard stories about long distance relationships, and heard other people saying, 'It makes me remember my first love.' It's really nice to realize that you've made something that a lot of people can relate to."
Of his upcoming projects, Yelchin said he's really looking forward to boarding the Starship Enterprise again as Ensign Pavel Chekov in the highly anticipated sequel to the 2009 blockbuster "Star Trek," which will director J.J. Abrams will start filming early next year.
At this point, Yelchin added, he has no idea where the next film will boldly go.
"I don't know what the story's about, but that's how J.J. works -- he keeps everything top secret," Yelchin said. "He likes to keep things under wraps so it's a surprise for us and even a bigger surprise for the audience."

There are those who watched as the lights went out last night in the Louisiana Superdome and thought, 'oh well, that's crazy!' Then there are those who saw it and thought, 'Wait a second, what's going on here?' This article is geared towards the latter. The Superbowl last night was basically one or two big plays away from being one of the best, if not the best, ever played. If San Francisco had managed to bury the rock in the end-zone with those two minutes to go, it would have been the greatest comeback of all time. Instead we are left with a pretty memorable event anyway, partially because of that power outage that happened just after the start of the second half.
Essentially, as we said in the opener, your interest in that crazy event, the lights going out, can go one of two ways. Either, 'Gosh that was funky' or 'Wait a second, this is a bit odd'.
Maybe I watched too many X-Files in my formative years. Maybe I read one too many crime novels. However, as soon as the lights went out, my mind went into full Mulder and Scully mode. To help you join me on this leap of faith, all I have to do is tell you one thing. The lights also went out, just before half time, in the big English Premier League match the night before, between Fulham and Manchester United, at Craven Cottage in London.
Read more: True confessions of a San Francisco 49ers fanatic
Maybe this is going to be an eye opener for you, but sadly, corruption is rampant in sports, even in the major sports we all know and love. The main perpetrators (and we stress, main. There are plenty of organised gangs all over the World trying to fix sporting events) are in the Balkans, South East Asia and Italy. The governing bodies of the World's major sports are woefully ill equipped to tackles these gangs, and are working in horrible de-synchronization from the police and the bookmarkers and their teams of anti-fraud experts, when an alliance between the three could crush sporting fraud tomorrow.
A couple of points to note before we try and take you on a leap of faith as to what happened last night.
First, floodlight tampering is not new. Gangs from South East Asia have tried this on several occasions of note in England, during both big and small matches (high and low league levels). Authorities in the UK have literally caught Asian betting syndicate gang members red handed as they attempted to knock the lights out at soccer matches.
Why, you might ask?
Two simple answers. One, in other parts of the World (Thailand, Singapore, China etc) you can actually bet on odd events like, yes, you guessed it, the floodlights failing at a match. With that in mind, it is pretty simple to imagine corrupt individuals arranging for the lights to go out in London and New Orleans, isn't it? The second answer is a bit more contrived, however, personally, I would imagine this to be closer to the truth.
In Ireland and the UK bookmakers have a rule that if a game is suspended or postponed, for whatever reason, the customer gets their money back as long as the game isn't finished within 24 hours. In South East Asia and other corners of the World, there is no such rule. If a game is stopped for basically any reason, even after just a few minutes, the result stands.
Crazy, isn't it?
I propose the following.
It is all too coincidental that the Ravens had just taken an unassailable lead when the lights went off. Is it that far a stretch of the imagination to suggest a major betting syndicate arranged for the lights to go out and the game to be called off, with the result in their favour (assuming they bet on the Ravens). They obviously would have been hoping that the lights didn't come back on. We never suggested they were competent criminals, remember!
Much of this is probably completely outlandish to many of our readers in the States in particular, because, thanks to archaic Government laws, gambling has a stigma attached to it due to legislations designed to keep Vegas and organised, black market betting criminals happy. Instead of allowing a fully regulated and controlled level of gambling, all the US government has done is push gambling underground, to the point where Vegas keeps pulling in billions of dollars, while the average schmuck has to risk betting in dark alleys behind bars.

Solar Energy Grew at a Record Pace in 2008
Solar energy deployment increased at a record pace in the United States and throughout the world in 2008, according to new industry reports. On March 19, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) released its "2008 U.S. Solar Industry Year in Review," which found that U.S. solar energy capacity increased by 17% last year, reaching the equivalent of 8,775 megawatts (MW). The SEIA report tallies all types of solar energy, and last year the United States installed 342 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) electric power, 139 thermal megawatts (MWTh) of solar water heating, 762 MWTh of pool heating, and 21 MWTh of solar space heating and cooling.
The growth rate was highest for grid-connected PV electric systems, which increased by 58% to a total of 792 MW. California dominated this category, installing 178.6 MW of grid-tied PV, but the largest PV system, at 10 MW, was built in Boulder City, Nevada. Meanwhile, domestic PV manufacturing capacity increased by 65%, and preliminary estimates peg the total U.S. PV manufacturing capacity at 685 MW per year as of the end of 2008. See the SEIA press release and the full report (PDF 2.6 MB). Download Adobe Reader.
SEIA estimates that 342 MW of PV were installed throughout the United States in 2008, and although Solarbuzz LLC reached a higher number of 360 MW for its annual PV industry report, that growth rate is still dwarfed by the world's fastest-growing PV markets, namely, Spain and Germany. According to Solarbuzz, Spain added 2,460 MW of solar PV power in 2008, while Germany added 1,860 MW of PV power, leaving the United States in a distant third place. Solarbuzz estimates the global market growth at 5,950 MW in 2008. World PV production reached 6,850 MW per year in 2008, a significant jump up from the capacity of 3,440 MW per year for 2007. Contributing to that rapid growth, the production of thin-film solar modules more than doubled, reaching 890 MW per year by the end of 2008. See the Solarbuzz press release.

PLEASANTON -- State Parks officials presented their preferred concept for a 3,500-acre expansion of the Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area on Tuesday, calling for a system of more multiuse off-highway trails, camping, and parking areas in a hotly debated area southeast of Livermore.
The area now has about 1,600 acres of riding areas.
Nearly 350 environmentalists and off-highway enthusiasts packed the meeting room at Amador Valley High School to view and comment on conceptual maps for the state-managed off-highway park.
The plans show expanded areas for use by four-wheel drive trucks, all-terrain vehicles, four-seaters and motorcycle riding trails, as well as gathering and practice areas. Planners hatched the concept by incorporating parts of three alternatives, along with public comments and stakeholder meetings, patterning it after similar land use at the Hollister Hills SVRA south of Hollister.
"It's a model we think will work here," said State Parks' sector superintendent Randy Caldera, who oversees Carnegie. "From my perspective, we've hit a home run. ... We worked a lot of hours on this."
The plan also includes an interpretive center at the site of the abandoned coal mining town of Tesla.
But the possibility of opening up an area that includes the remnants of Tesla has upset members of a coalition of about 20 environmental groups called Friends of Tesla Park. Though the draft concept designates about 500 acres around Tesla as limited recreation areas -- meaning they could be completely off-limits to motorized use -- the coalition remains adamantly opposed to any off-highway vehicle use, saying it would endanger habitats for native plant and animal species, and threaten culturally significant sites.
Off-road enthusiasts, however, were overwhelmingly pleased with the overall concept design, saying the expansion would provide more varied opportunities to enjoy their pastimes.
"It seems like a pretty diverse mix," said motorcycle rider Tom Bueno, of Manteca, who visits Carnegie about once a week. "We definitely have a need for more space."
Diana Mead, Northern California's regional director of the California Off-Road Vehicle Association, called the proposal "as close to a dream concept" as she could have hoped for. Rider Betsy Fessler, of Campbell, said the new riding areas would allow her to spend more time recreating with her family.
"We're excited about this expansion and the possibility of bringing the vehicles we use the most," Fessler said. "It's nice to see it's going in that general direction."
But avid hiker and Friends of Tesla Park supporter Garry Rodrigue, of Livermore, voiced his concerns about the damage the vehicles would do to the environment.
"I saw what they did to Carnegie (a nearby abandoned mining town); it's an absolute mess," Rodrigue said. "There's a lot of history there. They can talk all they want, but they'll destroy it. It's a travesty."
Friends of Tesla Park co-founder Celeste Garamendi, who owns a ranch near the expansion area, said the State Parks' maps were "not based upon reality," adding that off-highway usage would have a "devastating impact" on the area's biodiversity.
"This place is so unique in that it has not only scenic beauty, but important biological features," Garamendi said. "We should preserve it for future generations."
The next step in the plan process will be completion of a draft environmental report sometime next year.

Leon Hiebert was pastor of Andover Assembly of God (Generations Church A/G) from 1989 to 2009. He is a Viet Nam veteran who spent 10 years in the US Navy most of the time as a corpsman serving with the Marine Corps. A native of Belleville, Kan., Hiebert is semi retired and lives in Andover with his wife, Sharon. He is a school bus driver for USD 385, Andover, Kansas.
Scripture: Luke (NIV) 21:1 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 "Truly I tell you," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
Observation: Jesus was watching people as they gave their offerings at the temple. What impressed him was not the amount of their gift, but the amount remaining after their giving. It was not the size of the giving, but the size of the "remaining."
Application: Jesus watches my giving too. Although I am able to give more than in earlier years, I also know that I have more left over after my giving. Knowing that I am a steward and that it all belongs to God, I know that he is just as interested in what remains as in what is given.
Prayer: Lord, may you be pleased both with my giving and my remaining. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Frank, you've touched upon one of the many problems with the rules as written. They tend to muddy the waters too often when it comes to which rule applies to certain situations.
For example, 7.09 starts out with, "It is interference by a batter or runner when..." But then the paragraphs underneath talk about interference by teammates (in "d" and "e") and coaches (in "i" and "j").
It also causes confusion because it says the penalty for any 7.09 interference is that the runner--and only the runner--is out. But we know that if a batter intentionally deflects a foul ball in any manner (per "b"), then the batter is out.
What should take place for a major re-write of the rules is for one section to cover when a batter is out, another for the batter-runner, and a third for a runner. Most other rule sets do it that way.
There is a mea culpa from LL on their Facebook discussion page.
I can't access Facebook from work. What did they say?
For your reading enjoyment. Classic. Forego the combined decision of 4 Umpires and pull one out of somewhere.
Mike Robinson 4 hours ago
I was the 1st Base Umpire during this Farce. Jerry Fisher - Home Plate, Bruce Spring 2nd and Jeff Holliday 3rd base. As you can clearly see on this Video, The Umpire Crew got together and ruled Batter Interference. And According to the Official Little League Rule Book 7.09e "It is Interference by a batter or runner when – Any batter or runner who has just been put out hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of a teammate." When the Conn Coach asked for a ruling, The Bristol Officials(In the cage behind Home Plate) ruled that the runner goes back to 1st base. When the head coach from Burlington Vt (Coach Ed Hockenbury) came out and "Protested the Game" the Bristol officials called or reportedly called Williamsport for the correct ruling. After a few minutes Williamsport agreed with the "Bristol Officials" and the runner was sent back to 1st. I feel sorry for the 12 year old little leaguers from So Burlington Vt. The Bristol Officials and Williamsport let them down. The next day in the Umpire locker room we receive an apology from these "Bristol Officials" That we (The Crew) got it right and they Bristol and Williamsport were wrong. Too bad they didn't follow another Little League rule and restart the game from the point of the protest!.

@ Mike - We appreciate your first-hand account. There are times when even we "kick one," and this was apparently one of them. The decision was based on the information provided, which was, obviously, incorrect. However, please know that there is no rule in Tournament Play that states that such a game would be restarted from the point of the protest. That would be a decision only the Tournament Committee could make. It is a Regular Season rule, however. We do thank you for your volunteer service, and hope you had an otherwise good experience umpiring at the Regional level.
Bruce Spring 2 hours ago
@ Kyle: So with the statement that HQ has made above, do you still think that I threw WP under the bus? As I stated, there was some info that was not communicated properly and the decision was based upon what was actually given to them, so there was something lost in translation to HQ.
@HQ: thank you for updating us completely on what transpired or what didn't transpire and yes, we lived with the final decision and move on with our life.
Mike Robinson An hour ago
Little League Baseball & Softball - My Experience at the Regional Tournament was one of mixed emotions. I enjoyed the camaraderie of the other volunteer umpires. I am happy that I was one of 12 who were selected to umpire in this prestigious tournament. I will always look on the 11 days spent at Bristol as a rewarding experience. I met some great people at the Little League level as well as coaches, Parents and Players who epitomize what Little League is all about. "Kicking one" during a regular season game in Bedford NH is one thing. "Kicking one" at a regional tournament where the loser goes home is quite another story. Claiming that you received bad information is no excuse. Sitting behind the screen at Bristol were the UIC and 2 assistant UIC's, as well as other little League leadership personnel. If those guys can't get it right in the rule interpretation or describing the scenario to Williamsport, then something is wrong. Since my early days of involvement in Little League, I have been told from day one that it is always about the kids and we should get the call right. Why was it that the four volunteer umpires got it right on the field and no one "behind the screen" did? If there is no procedure in place to protest a call, that is a problem. As an observer of what went on in Bristol during my eleven days there, I have other recommendations for the Little League powers that be, but this in not the forum to hold such discussions. If however you want to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com then I will be happy to share my thoughts. We are all aware of the impact "Cal Ripken Baseball" is having on our sport and if Little League International is open to some frank and open discussions, we can bring it back to the status it has held in the past.
Mike Robinson Bedford NH District One
Wow. Anybody want to take any wagers that Mr. Mike Robinson's LL Umpiring career won't take him any further?
Well, I was kind of thinking the same thing. FB is probably not the right place to vent.(that is, if you care) On that note though, I as well as many others would be pretty discouraged to have my on field call reversed and blasted all over the net. So much for 'don't suck' when someone else can 'suck' for you.
Last response from LL:
Little League Baseball & Softball 52 minutes ago
@ Mike - Understood. There is no excuse on our part, only an admission that, while we strive for perfection, we admit we are not perfect -- even when it comes to big games. You were right. We were wrong.
It is little consolation, but these types of mistakes do happen far less often now than in the past. (Trust us on this.)
If you would like to put your thoughts on paper, or in an email, you can send them to Nick Caringi here at Little League International, at email@example.com.
Your first paragraph speaks volumes Manny.
The LL rulebook does need rewriting/consolidation of subject matter, etc.
The U3K Rule where rules 6.05(b) & 6.09(b) are needed be read. [Needed: One rule, one subject addessed and explained as to involved details.--end of story!
Even the T-rules tell the reader to go to both rules for understanding the details involved with the U3K. Page T-13.
Too many others to be listed here.
BTW--in regard to a coach "materially assisting a runner either advancing or retreating to a base."
What I viewed in a recent Regional TV game.
Base-runner was hightailing it around 3rd base, coach was signalling him to "hold-up"---appeared the runner was not going to "hold-up"----coach out of the coach's box----held out his right arm, horizontally, across the base line---chest high to the runner now off 3rd headed for home. The only thing I can't attest to from the camera angle, if the coach's outstretched arm, over the baseline, made contact with the runner's chest. But was contact necessary with the coach's arm extended across the base line as it was? The runner did retreat to 3rd.
Post note: If no actual contact was made with the runner----it was damn close!
First, hats off to WP for fessing up, and saying they kicked it. You can't ask for anything more than that.
The crew was resolved of their call, once the phone call was made.
A kick in the @ss for the two guys that smacked their boss in public. You'd think this was the company Christmas party, and these two knuckleheads got blasted and called their supervisor fat, bald and ugly. If I were their local DA, they'd be working wood bat t-ball from now on. Man, was that stupid of them.
Hint to all of you: Nothing you type is private. That is the way you need to conduct yourself on Al Gore's Internet, at all times.

For me to call base coach's assistance, there has to be contact initiated by the coach. So in the play you describe, if the runner sees the arm, stops short of it, and then turns back, there is no infraction.
It's the home plate coaxh's (ODB) job to yell go. There will also be a lot of commotion and others yelling.
A batter who struck out looking will look back because he 1) is tracking the pitch and 2) want's to give the umpire the evil eye. There are very few U3K's on a called strike due to its location.
A batter who struck out swinging is 1) mad at himself and 2) will look if he thinks there was the possibility of an U3K due to its location - but there usually isn't
I agree with Manny - the rule says "by touching or holding physically assists" and to me that's actual contact.
Qustion asked and answered, thanks Manny and Rich.
[But the action appeared to be so close, I'm still not sure, by the camera shot looking toward left field from home plate area, that contact, coach's arm & runner, was indeed not made.....but will put that call to bed as U3 was right on it]
In retrospect----that coach rolled the dice as to his runner not stopping in time.
A kick in the @ss for the two guys that smacked their boss in public. You'd think this was the company Christmas party, and these two knuckleheads got blasted and called their supervisor fat, bald and ugly. If I were their local DA, they'd be working wood bat t-ball from now on. Man, was that stupid of them.
You CAN'T be serious. WP didn't "fess up" until they were "smacked". Would you prefer that we sweep this quietly under the rug? Sometimes the dirty laundry isn't cleaned until an outside source views its uncleanliness. These guys did almost exactly the right thing by airing it out. I would hope that I would have the cajones to do the same. And I can tell you for sure that my future ability to work would have NO BEARING on my decision to do so. Only a coward would fall back on that and these gus did not. The mistake has now been acknowledged and they can now implement steps to avoid a repeat.
To paraphase Edmund Burke:
All that is necessary for the triumph of errors is that good men do nothing.
Time wounds all heels.....
I know one thing for sure.....
If not for the notoriety the subject begot , and yes discussion this board; I would of mistakenly believed--[due to my citing the wrong rule and my citing the RIM Instructor's Comment not in fact, applying]-- the call made by the involved people, i.e. returning the runner to 1st, was a correct call and gone on my merry way.
Like the old saying goes, we learn, or should learn, from our mistakes.---For that I'm good with being corrected here, this board----BEFORE a like situation came to me locally, for input.

TN Editorial: Can't beat safety and a sandwich
Published: Saturday, June 19, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 18, 2010 at 5:22 p.m.
Laurel — To the Hendersonville Police Department and Subway for partnering in a program that rewards children for being safe. Through Subway's Playin' Safe Campaign, kids "caught" playing safely outdoors will be issued a Playin' Safe citation and rewarded for setting a good safety example that others can follow. The program begins Monday, the first official day of summer. The program also rewards those parents who insist their children not even think of riding a bike without at least a helmet. The program also shows kids they can be "cool" and safe at the same time. Safe choices can include wearing protective gear while riding a bicycle, skateboard or scooter, using a crosswalk or simply playing safely at the park. The citation is actually a Subway coupon good for a free 6-inch sandwich or Fresh Fit For Kids meal, a healthy reward for making smart decisions. Another advantage is the connection police will make with the kids they meet, as building relationships at a young age can pay big dividends later. And a free sandwich never hurts.
Dart — To U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler and fellow members of the House for pushing an amendment that would make some organizations reveal their funding sources but not others. The House is debating a bill that would require nonprofit organizations involved in political activity to reveal their sources. The bill comes in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling that undid campaign finance laws passed by Congress. Shuler helped lead negotiations last weekend, and an amendment was introduced. If adopted, the amendment would exempt nonprofits who were incorporated under the 501(c)(4) tax code, that have over one million members and have been in existence for more than 10 years. House members should take a stand on the issue of whether funding sources should be revealed one way or the other, not give favor to certain organizations while slighting others. Organizations such as the NRA contacted Shuler and other House members, who quickly went to bat for them while turning their back on smaller organizations that have been in existence for a long time. The purpose of the bill it to enhance transparency in elections, and Congress should pass legislation based on the merits of the bill without special exemptions.
Laurel — To the city of Hendersonville and the N.C. Administrative Office of the Courts for now allowing citizens to pay traffic tickets online. A new system, payNCticket, will allow residents to make online payments via credit or debit cards for most minor traffic citations. Before payNCticket, residents had to pay fines and court costs at the courthouse or by mail. Now citizens can now pay from home sitting on the couch in their PJs, and the sheer convenience might help people pay on time. Lines should also be shorter for those who still prefer going to the courthouse. Case records will be updated quicker, saving time for already overworked staff. PayNCticket is being rolled out county by county throughout the state, and eventually residents will be able to pay and tickets they received in North Carolina. All counties are expected to be using this system by the end of the summer. The new system will make the process faster and more efficient for everyone, a welcome change for busy residents previously forced to wait in long lines.

Where to Wine & Dine: Paris
Post by Chuck Hayward | January 25th, 2013
Here at JJ Buckley, January brings with it thoughts of Bordeaux, as the Union des Grand Crus travels the country pouring the latest releases while we make plans for attending the en primeur tastings in France. And with Bordeaux on the brain, it's not too hard to start dreaming of Paris, the city where we land before traveling south, and where I always make sure to get in an extra day to check out the latest and greatest culinary pit-stops.
Like almost every major city these days, Paris is undergoing another seismic shift in their dining scene. With strong influences from American cuisine (including the arrival of many expat chefs), the plates arriving on today's Parisian tables highlight bold colors, fresh ingredients and light-handed cooking techniques. In short, they are quite different from the requirements of haute cuisine, which dominated French cooking for decades. Traditional French dining once meant maintaining a large staff and paying rent in pricey neighborhoods. All of the required overhead kept prices too high at a time when diners started tightening their wallets and eating out less. At the same time, the strong traditions surrounding French cuisine and service left little room for younger chefs to innovate in the kitchen and promote a relaxed environment in the dining room. Paris was ready for change and (thankfully) that change has arrived. (more…)

United Kingdom: Gaining momentum
Global Economic Outlook, Q1 2014
Britain is expected to have the fastest growing economy in Europe in 2014, but growth remains historically modest. The United Kingdom will need a strong rebound in capital spending and in consumer incomes to maintain its improving prospects.
In the course of 2013, the United Kingdom went from being one of the rich world's growth laggards to being one of its stronger performers.
In the second and third quarters of 2013, the UK economy grew at above-trend rates, showing the fastest pace of growth in three years.
Over the last year, economists have raised their forecasts for UK growth next year more quickly than for any other big, industrialized country (see figure 1). The European Commission predicts that the United Kingdom will be Europe's fastest growing major economy in 2014 and 2015.1 In late November, the Bank of England's new governor, Mark Carney, proclaimed that recovery is "taking hold."2 The day before, the Confederation of British Industry reported that confidence among small and medium-sized UK businesses—exactly the sorts of firms that one would expect to have been worst hit by the recession—was at a 25-year high.3 In the second and third quarters of 2013, the UK economy grew at above-trend rates, showing the fastest pace of growth in three years (see figure 2).
In contrast, growth in the euro area almost came to a halt in the third quarter of 2013. As a symptom of the level of concern about the region, the European Central Bank unexpectedly cut interest rates in November.
Before we get carried away, we need to put the UK picture in perspective. On average, economists expect that the United Kingdom will grow by 2.3 percent in 2014. Before the financial crisis, that would have been regarded as a normal, if unremarkable, growth rate. But after five years of economic contraction, a 2.3 percent growth rate looks relatively good and, if realized, would represent the strongest growth since 2007.
So far, the big swing factor in the rebound in UK growth has been consumer spending, which has been on a recovery path since late 2011 and outstripped growth in the rest of the economy for the last 18 months. In fact, this has been a classic UK upswing, with the consumer, and the housing market, in the lead. One source of anxiety is that the growth in consumer spending seems to have been financed mainly by lower levels of saving, increased indebtedness, and windfall gains from payment protection insurance compensation.
On the output side of the economy, the fastest growing sectors have been close to the consumer: retail, hotels, restaurants, and construction. Policymakers have been hoping for a balanced recovery, with manufacturing, exports, and investment in the driver's seat. That has not happened yet. Yet investment often lags the economic cycle, with companies first exhausting spare capacity and then starting to invest. Given the raft of shocks companies have had to cope with in recent years, it would not be surprising if they want more evidence that the recovery is on track before committing to capital spending. Business surveys provide a good guide of where the economy is going, and the message from the latest crop—including Deloitte's own survey of chief financial officers4—is that firms across sectors are gearing up to spend and to expand in 2014 (see figure 3).
Stronger-than-expected UK growth has placed the bank of England in a dilemma. Last summer, the bank's governor signaled that the bank would leave interest rates unchanged as long as the unemployment rate was above 7.0 percent and inflation was under control. With the bank not expecting unemployment to fall below this threshold until mid-2016, the message was that interest rates would stay at rock-bottom levels for three more years. Since then, however, unemployment has fallen faster than expected. By November, the bank said that it saw a 50 percent chance that the jobless rate could hit 7.0 percent by late 2014—18 months sooner than forecast in August. An unexpectedly strong recovery has introduced a risk that the bank might need to raise rates in just a year, toward the end of 2014.
Forward Guidance was designed to bolster activity, but it has been launched into an economy that is recovering faster than expected. As a result, interpreting when the Bank of England might raise interest rates, and under what circumstances, has become more difficult. Financial markets assume that interest rates are likely to start rising in the middle of 2015. Base rates are anticipated to end 2015 at the 1.25 percent mark, up from the current level of 0.5 percent. The belief that rates will rise earlier than the bank points to a growing belief that the UK economy may be starting to normalize. Current base rates of just 0.5 percent are a powerful sign that the economy is not working.
Continued growth requires an absence of the sorts of external shocks—especially in the euro area—that derailed an incipient recovery in 2011. To maintain the pace of the recovery, and to ensure a better-balanced pattern of activity, the United Kingdom will need a strong rebound in capital spending and in consumer incomes. Macro and financial uncertainties have lessened, but have not been eliminated. Nonetheless, the United Kingdom began 2014 in much better shape than it did in 2013.

I actually hope for the exact opposite. I would way rather artists put out less material and charged a little more for it, as long as it was the best of the best. People are just throwing everything out there nowadays, and I'm really sick of sifting through all of the shit. I see this a lot with local bands too, some person will take a really shitty video on their cell phone of one of the bands songs, and then that band will put it all over their Facebook and what not. I'm so fucking tired so seeing so many shitty videos of bands I like, it's not doing them any favors cause they sound like crap on a cell phone mic, and it's not doing the fans any favors because there's nothing to listen to but static and feedback, and nothing to see but some shadow figures on a grainy screen.

Atlanta man charged in robbery of Coker store
Suspect arrested in Pickens after car pursuit, 6-hour search
Published: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 11, 2013 at 11:51 p.m.
A 32-year-old Atlanta man has been charged with robbing a Dollar General store in Coker. His arrest occurred early Sunday morning following a six-hour manhunt.
David Demeatrice White was charged with robbing Dollar General.
David Demeatrice White was in the Tuscaloosa County Jail with a $60,000 bond on Monday charged with first-degree robbery and a marijuana charge. He also has several arrest warrants in Georgia.
Lt. Andy Norris, a spokesman for the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office, said the incident started at about 9 p.m. Saturday, a Tuscaloosa County deputy patrolling near the Dollar General in Coker observed unusual activity in the store. The deputy could not see the clerk and found the store's doors locked during store hours. She also noticed the cash drawers and safe were open and spotted a Ford Crown Victoria with Georgia plates in the parking lot. The deputy called for backup, Norris said.
About that time, a man ran from the rear of the store and ignored orders to halt. The man sped away in the vehicle. The deputy pursued him on U.S. Highway 82 West into Pickens County. The Northport Police Department assisted by responding to the Dollar General and confirmed an armed robbery occurred.
Other deputies joined the pursuit and Gordo Police Department deployed "stop sticks," disabling the Crown Victoria near at an abandoned residence on Highway 82 West and Mount Pleasant Road in Gordo. The suspect then fled on foot. Cash and store receipts were found in the vehicle.
A perimeter was set up in the Gordo area by Pickens County Sheriff's Office, Gordo Police Department and Tuscaloosa Sheriff's Office. A K9 unit from Donaldson Prison helped track the suspect.
During the pursuit, more cash was found in the woods, Norris said.
After several hours, the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's helicopter unit using infrared radar spotted the suspect as he fled from behind a residence on Pickens County Road 86, several miles from where the Crown Victoria was abandoned, Norris said.
The infrared radar, which is installed on the TCSO's helicopter, picks up body heat when used in tracking. "If it weren't for that, we probably would have never caught him," Norris said.
"This guy was not from here, so he was just running around out in the woods," he added.
Dogs from Donaldson and Pickens County deputies captured the suspect around 3 a.m. Sunday.
Chief Deputy Ron Abernathy said the dedication of assisting agencies Tuscaloosa County deputies led to the arrest.
"These men and women proved their dedication to the communities they are sworn to protect and they were not leaving last night without the suspect in custody," Abernathy said. "They searched tirelessly for over six hours."

Evans, Ga--There are so many benefits to seven on seven passing leagues that they're spreading like wildfire through out the south and country for that matter. Seven on seven camps thought can mean a whole lot more for teams with new head coaches. In this area, Thomson comes immediately to mind.
Now under the direction of former ECI field boss Milan Turner, the Bulldogs are getting added time on the field then just spring football. Turner has more of an opportunity to learn about his kids and start to put an offensive system in place.
"It's good for our kids, it's good for our football IQ" said new Thomson coach Milan Turner "You know, learning the offense, the defense, going against opponents, reading defenses, lining up in formations, and it's good for us as a staff and the players as well. We're getting to know each other, we're learning how to communicate. It's not like a Friday night, but it's similar."
"It's important just to get the timing down with all the guys and learning the system and just learning the concepts of the offense so it's pretty important." added Josh Jones
Now Turner isn't trying to replace Luther Welsh, he's trying to continue the legacy already in place. He says fans can expect more of the same physical style of football the Bulldogs play.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - No, they didn't win best float in this year's Mardi Gras "Snowmassquerade" parade, but they did come away with a win for the most vocally accomplished by shimmying, shaking and shouting their way through the Snowmass Mall during the Fat Tuesday celebration. According to those involved, it wasn't just a two-week preparation period of costume planning, decoration hanging and float maintenance. It was an affair that gave one dynamic team of employees the chance to be just as weird and wacky as the holiday itself.
Finding inspiration in a look-a-like employee, the team from Destination Resorts at the Top of the Village entered this year's parade with a "Where's Waldo?" theme, donning everything from homemade red-and-white-striped T-shirts with blue bottoms, to bib overalls, wigs and capes. Cruising through the Mall on a makeshift, recycled float that towed graciously behind a signature four-wheeler, the team bounced their way through the crowd before stopping to impress the judges with an impromptu dance session.
And if the pictures alone don't do justice for the kind of crazed endeavors the TOV group tackled during this year's Mardi Gras, team leader Tara Willis spilled the beads on their memorable day, including an ultimate goal to win best float in next year's Fat Tuesday celebration.
Snowmass Sun: How long have you been participating? How do you pick who's involved?
Tara Wilis: This was my fourth year in the parade. It's basically one big volunteer effort between our employees - not all of us ride the float, but all of us collaborate on the themes, decorations and costumes that go into it.
SS: Where did the float come from? Do you decorate it differently each year?
TW: We've been recycling the same float for the last few years, which means each year we have to perform some maintenance and repairs to keep it looking good. We decorate the float depending on the theme, and for tradition purposes we always have at least one piece of undergarment hanging somewhere on it.
SS: Other than winning the award for loudest float this year, what was the highlight(s) of the day?
TW: We consider ourselves a really enthusiastic group, so whenever we get together we always have a great time, even if we look crazy while doing it. I think the biggest highlights were breaking down on the hill before the parade, dancing for the announcers and trying to plow our way through the mob of people screaming for beads.
SS: How many strands of beads did you throw? What's the best part about participating in the Mardi Gras parade in Snowmass?
TW: This year we ended up tossing 5,000 strands of beads, which was outrageous for such a short time. We all really like the parade because it's the only event that's organized completely by locals, which gives us every reason to let loose and show off our personalities.
SS: You promise that your team will win best float next year. How do you plan to do it?
TW: I can't give away our secrets, but I can say that we have already discussed plans to make our presentation bigger and better than ever before. If it means retiring the old float and replacing it with something new, we will. We guarantee a win, so bring on the competition!
