ingredient information
Docusate Sodium
Docusate (pronounced /'d?kju?se?t/) is the generic name of a surfactant used as a laxative and stool softener[1][2] Docusate is also any of a group of anionic surfactants widely used as emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing agents. Docusate is available in tablet, capsule, liquid, and rectal enema. Docusate calcium [USP] and docusate potassium [USP] are anionic surfactants used as stool softeners and are administered orally. Docusate sodium [USP] is an anionic surfactant used as a stool softener and is administered orally or rectally; as a tablet disintegrant or as an emulsifier and dispersant in topical preparations. When sold as Colace, it is docusate sodium, or sodium salt of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (DSS). Some metabolism studies show that DSS is absorbed by the body from the gastrointestinal tract, undergoing extensive metabolism. In humans, the main way DSS metabolites are excreted is via the feces. Docusate sodium may be used in a daily regimen in persons who are undergoing narcotic pain medication therapy to reduce the effects of chronic constipation or hardened stools which can cause severe straining, impaction, and torn rectal tissues.

Ivanhoe Chapter 8 Summary
- The epigraph for Chapter 8, like Chapter 7, comes from John Dryden's poem "Palamon and Arcite."
- The tournament continues, both in Dryden's poem and in Ivanhoe.
- Prince John suddenly remembers that they have yet to elect the Queen of Beauty and Love for the tournament.
- John wants to nominate Rebecca (partly to annoy off the Saxons).
- The Normans are anti-Semitic jerks and refuse.
- They decide to leave the choice of the Queen to the guy who wins the tournament.
- The first day of the tournament includes rounds of battles between individual knights to decide who is the best jouster overall.
- The second day will involve archery contests and other competitions among the common people.
- The tournament begins with heralds blowing horns and knights appearing in procession.
- The narrator says there is no point in detailing who these knights are or where they come from --they're all dead now anyway.
- The first set of five challengers appears to take on the five Norman knights (headed by Bois-Guilbert).
- The advantage stays with Bois-Guilbert and his friends throughout the first four rounds of the tournament.
- The public seems unhappy with these results, since Normans are not popular in this area.
- No one is angrier than Cedric the Saxon, who desperately wants a Saxon to come along and defeat these Norman jerks.
- Just as Cedric despairs, a knight rides up dressed in fine armor.
- The sign on his shield is of an uprooted oak tree with the Old Spanish word Desdichado – Disinherited, translates Scott – written underneath.
- (According to our Spanish-English dictionaries, Desdichado really means something like "unfortunate" or "unhappy," so Scott's not totally on the money here.)
- The Disinherited Knight rides straight up to Bois-Guilbert and challenges him.
- In the first pass, both knights shatter their lances against one another's shields.
- In the second pass, Bois-Guilbert hits the Disinherited Knight's chest fairly.
- But the Disinherited Knight makes an even better shot by hitting Bois-Guilbert's helmet with his lance.
- Bois-Guilbert falls off his horse, and the Disinherited Knight wins the match.
- Bois-Guilbert is so angry that he tries to challenge the Disinherited Knight to a sword fight.
- The marshals (who are like medieval tournament referees) separate the two.
- But Bois-Guilbert promises a rematch at some other time and place, and the Disinherited Knight agrees.
- The Disinherited Knight then jousts his way through Philip de Malvoisin, Reginald Front-de-Boeuf, Hugh de Grantmesnil, and Ralph de Vipont.
- The Disinherited Knight wins the day.

Facebook Sellers, Take Note: Sometimes Holding Tight Pays Off
Large stock sales by Facebook insiders amid a steep decline in its share price have raised many eyebrows in recent months, but at least one speaker at the Dow Jones Private Equity Analyst Conference in New York knows firsthand the potential benefits of holding on through the tough times.
Matt McIlwain, a general partner with Madrona Venture Group, said Friday his firm generally liquidates its position in a company gradually in the year or two following an initial public offering. But it's willing to make exceptions if it feels the company is undervalued.
If Madrona is actively involved in a company and believes it can add value, it may hold on longer, McIlwain said.
Case in point: Isilon Systems, which went public in 2006. The data storage company had trouble meeting earnings expectations, and as the stock price fell over the next two years, McIlwain said he had to field calls from limited partners demanding to know what Madrona was going to do.
Madrona doubled down, buying additional shares of Isilon on the open market. Within a couple more years the stock was back up. When EMC bought the company in 2010, Madrona made more than 15 times its investment.
McIlwain admitted that this approach can be risky. But, he added, "LPs will judge us on those judgment calls."
Other noteworthy moments from the panel:
- To kick off the discussion about what Facebook did right and wrong in its IPO, McIlwain noted that an IPO is three things: a financing event, an operating event that changes how a company works, and a marketing event to present itself before the public. "Facebook got the financing just about right, but they got the marketing thing wrong," he said.
- Peter Lawrence, a founding partner with fund-of-funds manager FLAG Capital Management, warned against venture capitalists permitting themselves to ignore lower-performing companies in the hopes that things will turn around. "If this is a liquidity business, it's really incumbent upon the GPs to manufacture a liquidity event," he said.
- Venture capitalists can take comfort in comments from Linda Lynch of limited partner Fisher Lynch Capital against the suggestion that the industry is broken. "Our view very firmly is that venture is not dead," she said. In fact, she added, she hasn't been as excited about the venture industry in 15 years.
- Deborah A. Farrington of StarVest Partners said it's incumbent upon VCs to understand that LPs look at VCs the same way VCs look at companies. "There are lots of venture capital firms. What is it a firm can actually do to help?" she said.

Retirement in Florida (complete with a woodshop)comments (0) June 14th, 2009 in blogs
Recently I received an email about a retirement community in Florida that I thought was pretty interesting. Jessica Clark and Ted Yeatts wrote about the woodshop at Shell Point Retirement Community in Fort Myers, Florida and I thought I would share some of it with you.
"One of the most popular areas at Shell Point is the resident Woodshop. The Woodshop has approximately 75 members, but a core group of regulars can almost always be found at their benches. "We have about 15 woodworkers who come in every single day like it's a job," said Woodshop supervisor Phil Nedeau. Phil trains newcomers in the operation of the tools and orients them to Woodshop policies; but since the Woodshop is a volunteer program run by and for residents, he relies on these regulars to offer advice to, and help ensure the safety of, those just starting out in the Woodshop. Shell Point resident Bob Selkirk, the Woodshop volunteer chairman, originally came to work at Shell Point in 1985 as a part-time Woodshop supervisor. He was soon followed by Wes Allison who said, "If it wasn't for the Woodshop being here, I wouldn't be at Shell Point, it gives us something to do." Once both men retired from employment at Shell Point, they became Shell Point residents and continue to enjoy using the Woodshop regularly.
All of the tools have been purchased by residents and donated to the Woodshop. When Bob Sanford decided to move to Shell Point from New Jersey in 1992, he called Selkirk and asked him what he should do with all his tools, including a large table saw. Selkirk told him that if he couldn't give them to his sons, then he should bring them with him. "He was excited," remembers Selkirk. "He was able to move here and bring one of the loves of his life with him." Now, these tools are used by so many other residents as the Woodshop bustles with resident wood workers, turners, and carvers taking ordinary wood and turning it into art.
One recent project was completed for a very special area of Shell Point Retirement Community. The Larsen Pavilion Skilled Nursing facility went through a complete renovation which included a new on-site chapel. When it came time to choose a cross and altar table for the new Pavilion Chapel, Village Church Minister of Worship and Music Randy Woods turned to Shell Point residents Rev. Jim Davey and Rev. Don Draggoo. "I knew of their artistry, skills, and the quality of their craftsmanship," he said. "I also knew of their dedication to the church."
Jim and Don agreed to build the cross and altar table, but were unsure about designing such important elements. "We are craftsmen, not designers," said Jim. So, they turned to Donald W. Draggoo, Don's son, who is an interior designer. Together, Donald and Randy looked at the new chapel, toured area churches, and settled on an original design that incorporated the space's signature stained glasswork.
After fours months of planning, Jim and Don began the work of transforming rough sawn red oak into the beautiful final products adorning the chapel today. Over the course of two months the men worked together, often anticipating each other's thoughts, to fit the wood to the cross's aluminum frame and to build the table's base and floating top. It took them 176 hours of work in the Shell Point Woodshop.
This is just one of the many special stories that come out of the Shell Point Woodshop. Everyday, more stories come to life as the residents create beautiful masterpieces out of wood."
Do any of you live in a place as cool as this?

Oil prices weaken after Saudi output pledge
Oil prices weakened slightly Thursday, a day after Saudi Arabia, the world's leading oil producer, said it favoured a "suitable increase" in OPEC oil production to stablise the market. However, analysts said they did not expect the price falls to be steep and they stressed that the Saudi Arabian pledge was vague.
They also cited the latest figures on US stocks from the Department of Energy that showed a smaller increase in stock levels than data released on Tuesday. By midday Thursday, Benchmark Brent crude for October delivery was trading in London at $31.83 a barrel, 15 cents lower. In New York, light sweet crude for October delivery ended Wednesday's session at $33.32 a barrel, 58 cents higher.
Prices initially dipped on Wednesday following stocks data from the American Petroleum Institute (API) that showed crude oil stocks rose by 5.261 million barrels in the week to August 25 to 286.0 million barrels.
Crude stocks were 31.70 million barrels lower than the previous year, the API said Tuesday. But data released by the US Department of Energy after Wednesday's market close showed a more modest increase of two million barrels to 286.7 million in the week ending August 25 from the previous week. Year-on-year, crude stocks fell by 32.2 million barrels, the department said.
Meanwhile, an official statement from Saudi Arabia announced that Oil Minister Ali al-Nuaimi had been instructed to hold talks with fellow members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries to seek "a suitable increase (in OPEC output) to guarantee once again the balance on the market and stability of prices."
GNI Research in its daily note commented that "overall, the market still seems wedded to its uptrend and will clearly view any moderating comments from OPEC members with scepticism unless they are specific about their aims and how they intend to achieve them."
It added that "the quiet diplomacy which seems to have taken effect since the early July Saudi comments would suggest that traders will have to wait until the OPEC meeting (on September 10) before they will give any concrete information."
Saudi Arabia triggered a dip in prices at the start of July when it made an earlier pledge to bring about an output increase of 500,000 barrels a day if needed to stabilise the market. The extra oil has yet to be seen.
The initial reaction of fellow OPEC members was to denounce Saudi Arabia's "unilateral" stance, although they later promised more oil under the terms of the organisation's price band mechanism. That mechanism provides for an automatic output increase of 500,000 barrels per day if the price of a basket of OPEC crudes remains above $28 for 20 consecutive days.
On Wednesday, the OPEC basket of seven crudes stood at $31.70 a barrel, compared with $31.37 the previous day.
The basket has remained above the $28-level since the middle of August, meaning that an output increase would not be triggered until OPEC's ministerial conference in Vienna in September which will formally consider an output increase.
Analysts cautiously predict OPEC will agree to increase production by at least 500,000 barrels a day.
However, the organisation has already agreed two output increases this year and prices have stayed stubbornly high, with some OPEC members arguing that the problem is a shortage of specific refined products rather than an overall shortage of crude. - (AFP)

From a technical standpoint, the color of the 2009 Christmas in Lancaster ornament is listed as pantone color No. 548.
What does that mean?
It means this year's collectible tree ornament is "Founders Blue."
Kept a secret for almost six months, See Lancaster unveiled the ornament at a reception Monday night at the Springs Gallery on East Gay Street.
And as it was billed, it is indeed representative of the county's moving from the old to the new.
INDIAN LAND – While many people were busy decorating their homes and shopping for holiday gifts, Candi Acuff spent a recent Saturday working on a different sort of present.
Amidst towering stacks of boxes filled with shoes, Acuff and other volunteers donated hours of their time Dec. 12 lacing up and organizing shoes for the charitable group Samaritan's Feet. An Indian Land resident and owner of NaturalBody Personal Training, Acuff organized the event to help provide shoes to those who are less fortunate.
A.R. Rucker Middle School now proudly displays a banner that represents its participation in a distinguished educational program.
A.R. Rucker Middle is the first and only school in the Lancaster County School District to become a International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB-MYP) school. International Baccalaureate (IB) provides programs for youth that aim to create a better world through intercultural understanding.
Kim Bowers said her son, Clint Wallace, called from the bus that was bringing him home and told her about the police escort he and his fellow National Guard soldiers were getting as they headed home for the holidays.
Bowers relayed the story to Sandra Collins as they waited with other family members for the Guardsmen to arrive at the Lancaster Tours parking lot. The buses carrying the soldiers were set to arrive any minute.
"He said, 'We got police escorts and we haven't even done anything yet,'" Bowers said.
INDIAN LAND – Old computers never die – they just get reconditioned and put to good use.
Roger Summey works tirelessly in his workshop, reconditioning old computers for charity.
His effort makes a lot of children happy, better educated and far more tech savvy than they could ever have become without his help.
Summey, a resident of Sun City Carolina Lakes, donates his revitalized computers to the Lancaster Children's Home, as well as the Children's Attention Home in Rock Hill.
Local school officials are exploring ways to deal with another budget cut handed down by the state.
The state's Budget and Control Board recently announced 5 percent across-the-board spending cuts – a $238.2 million reduction to help offset lower-than-expected tax collections thus far.
That equates to about a $1.5 million reduction for the Lancaster County School District, said Tony Walker, the district's finance director.
This is the second wave of cuts to come through since the school year stated.
Lancaster County continues to miss out on economic development opportunities because it does not have buildings for companies that are considering a move here.
Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. President Keith Tunnell updated Kershaw and Heath Springs town council members on economic development projects in the southern portion of the county at the towns' November council meetings.
Travis McManus and Monica Bass awoke to find the kitchen of their mobile home on East North Corner Road on fire late Monday night.
Bass said McManus, her fiance, was heating grease on the stove when he fell asleep. They were both asleep in the living room when the fire started.
Bass said she was having a dream about not being able to breathe and she woke up to find McManus yelling and trying to put out the fire.
Bass said it was so smoky she had to feel her way along the walls to her daughters' rooms.
Christmas gifts for needy children in Lancaster County aren't coming into Christian Services as quickly as Marcine Bufford would like them to.
Bufford is the coordinator for Christian Services' Angel Tree program, which collects the gifts. Those who wish to contribute to the effort may get a tag from a tree at area businesses such as Walmart, First Citizens Bank, Curves and Gus' Family Restaurant.
A logging truck hit a car on S.C. 9 Bypass about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, with the tractor-trailer blocking both westbound lanes.
Lancaster Police Chief Hugh White said the drivers of the car and logging truck were taken by Lancaster County Emergency Medical Services to Springs Memorial Hospital.
Neither appeared to have life-threatening injuries, White said.
Police were still investigating the crash Tuesday afternoon. Neither of the drivers' names were available.

Suspect arrested in store robbery
AVON PARK - Five stolen scratchoff lottery tickets that an alleged store robber never even got to scratch proved to be his undoing, according to a warrant affidavit released Tuesday. Michael Cortez Hankerson, 21, 1229 Lucas Drive, Sebring, was arrested Monday and charged with armed robbery. The arrest came after investigators found five discarded unscratched "50X" scratchoffs along the route in which the robber fled, the affidavit said. Fingerprints on those scratchoffs were identified as belonging to Hankerson, the report said.The store clerk at M&H Food Store, 2532 State Road 17 South, Avon Park, reported that a robber wearing a ski mask entered the store on Dec. 30, 2012, and pointed a gun at her, the affidavit said. After she gave him about $60 in cash from the cash register, the robber was not satisfied and reached over the counter and stole the five scratchoffs, the report said. As of presstime, Hankerson remained in the Highlands County jail on $100,000 bond. The warrant affidavit did not say whether any of the "50X" scratchoffs were winners.

Is likeability linked with niceness?
I tried very hard in the book to separate the ideas of being nice from being likeable. They are very different things. The major difference between the two comes down to truth, the first principle of Likeonomics. People who are nice don't tell you the truth - because they are afraid to. They just want to be nice. Likeable people, on the other hand, start with the truth. This fact led me to write about something in the book that I called the "Steve Jobs Paradox." As most people have read by now, Jobs wasn't ever described by anyone as being nice. Yet the people who worked most closely with him loved and respected him. Why? Part of the reason is because he always focused on telling the truth to make a product better. And the truth helped him to win respect, and yes, to even be likeable, even though he was anything but nice.

The guts, the glory and oh, the pain. In just over a week, we'll be at it again. Cheering on our champions as they go for gold at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. And the winners? Well, we'll worship them as gods and pay them like movie stars. But we'll surely expect our pound of flesh in return.
Our sporting heroes have to be the strongest, the fastest the best. Whatever it takes. To hell with the consequences.
On Sunday night, some outstanding triumphs and the crippling consequences of being number one. But is the gain worth all that pain? You bet your life it is.
TARA BROWN: It's their high, the adrenaline that comes from pushing themselves to the edge for that perfect performance. And it's beautiful to watch.
But with the pleasure, comes the pain. These are the broken bits of some of our most talented sports stars snapped tendons, shattered bones and arthritic knees.
LIZ ELLIS: This scar here is where the drill went in to drill the new bit of tendon into the knee.
TARA BROWN: Careers over, these elite athletes are now left with the premature aches of old age. What age would you say your body is?
KIRSTIE MARSHALL: My knees? Probably about 60.
TARA BROWN: At 36, former world champ, Kirstie Marshall, now wears a knee brace, even for a short walk, and this is why...
COMMENTATOR: Well this is the moment we've been waiting for, Kirstie Marshall.
TARA BROWN: …15 years of aerial skiing. Graceful when it goes right...
COMMENTATOR: Nicely landed, beautiful jump.
TARA BROWN: …awful when it goes wrong.
COMMENTATOR: No!
TARA BROWN: So how many operations have you had?
KIRSTIE MARSHALL: On my knees 13. I've had three on the left, and 10 on the right.
GARY BUCKENARA: In the '83 Grand Final, that tendon actually snapped in my knee, which was a weird feeling because I felt my kneecap halfway up my thigh, so it wasn't a very good experience.
TARA BROWN: For Gary Buckenara, injury was just part of the journey to greatness.
TARA BROWN: Talent and pain-killers helped him win four AFL premierships, but it came at a cost.
GARY BUCKENARA: Okay, well, the left leg is the bad one.
TARA BROWN: Eight knee operations, premature arthritis, and soon a complete knee replacement, after doctors gave him routine cortisone injections in his knees, to keep him playing.
GARY BUCKENARA: When they opened me up, my tendons were all mushy, and really like a piece of jelly.
TARA BROWN: And that was because of the cortisone?
GARY BUCKENARA: Yeah.
TARA BROWN: For us spectators, the spills are part of the thrills something to cheer from the safety of the stands. For our sporting heroes, their bodies are all too human. What makes them different is their drive, their desire to keep coming back for more, despite the injuries, and despite the risks. Take, for instance, motor cycling great Mick Doohan.
MICK DOOHAN: My right leg I broke twice in two different accidents. I've broken my left foot, I've done the ligaments in both knees. I've broken a scaphoid on my left hand, the humerus and the radius of my left arm. The AC joints on both shoulders, under the shoulderblade on my, I think, right or left, I can't remember. I think when I was a kid, I fractured my right wrist as well when I was about nine years old, trying to show off on a mini bike.
TARA BROWN: But it was showing off on big bikes that won Mike Doohan five World Championships.
TARA BROWN: He now lives with the permanent injuries of those heady days, but back then he was the king of speed.
MICK DOOHAN: It becomes obsessive. There's nothing else that exists except for that sport that you are into at that time. You know, you live, breathe and do motor racing.
TARA BROWN: It was almost over before it began. In 1992, in a practice session, Mick crashed and broke his right leg, gangrene set in, and doctors planned to amputate.
MICK DOOHAN: One of the surgeons came along with a sterile tool and started working away at the flesh, and it just kept going, I couldn't feel too much of it, and kept going until they were in and around the bone, and I could see the bone and the tendons and the whole thing and I thought, "This isn't good." This is a graft that we stole from the other...
TARA BROWN: Thanks to some extraordinary medicine, Mick didn't lose his leg...
MICK DOOHAN: This could have looked prettier, we could have actually closed all this up.
TARA BROWN: …nor did he lose his nerve, as crazy as it might seem when you see his scars.
MICK DOOHAN: We realigned the leg and got the length back into it and healed it.
TARA BROWN: This torture tool helped make Mick a champion. It got him back on the bike in half the time that doctors predicted.
MICK DOOHAN: You know, it did its job well. I thought I'd never see another one, but I did, unfortunately, get to experience a couple after this.
TARA BROWN: It may not be as high octane as motor racing, but the body contact in our football codes is bone-crunching. When it comes to skill, tenacity and the number of injuries, there's few to rival rugby league's Andrew Johns.
COMMENTATOR: Andrew Johns put his body on the line and I think he got a hip or an elbow in his jaw...
TARA BROWN: A broken back, a broken shoulder, broken jaw, played with broken ribs and a punctured lung. He's had groin operations, ankle reconstructions, a dangerous neck injury, and a knee injury so bad he had nightmares. What were the nightmares about?
ANDREW JOHNS: Just the pain I went through, the snapping noise, it just... Yeah, when I'd go to sleep it'd come back all the time. It really shook me up.
TARA BROWN: What drives an elite athlete, what's going through their minds?
DR PETER LARKINS: There's this innate thing which you don't medically quantify, and it's hunger for success.
TARA BROWN: Former Olympian, and now sports surgeon, Dr Peter Larkins, has seen the inside of many an athlete's knee, and the struggle to recover at any costs.
DR PETER LARKINS: We can get people back playing, but the injury will still give them trouble later in life, and athletes will still choose to go back.
TARA BROWN: Why?
DR PETER LARKINS: At the end of the day it probably comes down to an emotional ego, challenging themselves. I mean, they want to find out what they are capable of doing. It's the old, "I don't want to die wondering" concept.
TARA BROWN: Despite her fair share of spills, Australian netball captain, Liz Ellis, has had a fairly injury-free career until this, late last year.
COMMENTATOR: Oh, bother, we are in bother. A player's gone down. It's Liz Ellis.
TARA BROWN: And this is as bad as it gets for netballers torn ligaments needing an immediate full knee reconstruction.
LIZ ELLIS: I just remember falling to the ground and swearing profusely and screaming and just thinking, "That's the Commonwealth Games, that's my career", but more than anything else, it just really hurts, it's just a huge amount of pain.
TARA BROWN: In the days following her injury, even as she was preparing for surgery, the one thing Liz Ellis wasn't thinking about was quitting.
LIZ ELLIS: I love playing netball so much that no matter what the risk of injury, it's worth it. It's a great game to play.
TARA BROWN: I just wonder if we come and see you when you're in your 50s, 60s, 70s, and you can't walk any more without pain, whether it's still worth it?
LIZ ELLIS: I think it's worth it, and I've got enough faith in science that I'll have a few knee replacements by then and I'll be fine. I'll just be the bionic girl.
DR JUSTIN ROE: Everything went well, as expected, and we just have to wait and see now.
TARA BROWN: Only 12 hours later, Liz hobbles into rehab. She's been told it will take six to eight months for her knee to recover.
LIZ ELLIS: If anyone can be a medical marvel, I've decided it might be me.
TARA BROWN: But she's determined to be fit for the Commonwealth Games, at this stage just three months away.
DR PETER LARKINS: I understand the motivation, I understand the obsession. I understand you want to be there as long as you can at that top level, because it doesn't last.
GARY BUCKENARA: Now, that's about the limit and that's about 35 metres, I suppose, so yeah, it's a bit sad, really.
TARA BROWN: Now the recruitment manager for his beloved Hawthorn Hawks, 47-year-old Gary Buckenara says his passion for the game and the crowd's adulation, kept him coming back until his body couldn't take any more.
GARY BUCKENARA: It's such an exciting thing to run out on grand final day in front of 100,000 people, and try and strut your stuff.
TARA BROWN: Even if it means after the game finishes, that strutting your stuff is going to be very painful.
GARY BUCKENARA: Yeah, while I'm in pain at the moment, and paying the price, I suppose, it's something that I've thought about and something that I'd do again, yeah. T
ARA BROWN: These days, do you still feel like superwoman?
KIRSTIE MARSHALL: No, not unless she's old and decrepit.
TARA BROWN: For Kirstie Marshall, like any great athlete, the end of a career signals the painful realisation they've been beaten no matter the willpower, the body won't bounce back. Did anybody say to you, "Don't be so short-sighted, think about life after sport"?
KIRSTIE MARSHALL: No. The only time I ever heard that from a surgeon was after my 13th operation. And that's when he said, "If you make it back from this it will be a miracle. If you can walk without pain, it would also be a miracle."
TARA BROWN: And what did you do?
KIRSTIE MARSHALL: I didn't try and come back. I knew.
TARA BROWN: Today, Kirstie is a politician in the Victorian Parliament, and while every step forward hurts, it's also a reminder of her fabulous past.
KIRSTIE MARSHALL: I look back and I don't have any regrets. So I might have pain now, but who's to say that I could have been hit by a bus or in a car accident and living with pain for that reason. At least I did these amazing things.
MICK DOOHAN: I would have preferred to have parked the motorcycle in the pit lane or in the garage than leave in an ambulance, but, again, that's the way it happened. And, in actual fact, it's probably an easier way to be forced into retirement than to have to make the decision.
TARA BROWN: It was a brutal 250km/h end to a stellar career. That right leg busted just one too many times.
MICK DOOHAN: The first I knew I was off the bike, I was upside down looking back down at the bike. And, you know, it was, "Oh shit, this isn't good".
TARA BROWN: Seven years on, Mick Doohan is still a boy with plenty of toys. He still rides a motorbike, but it's to tow his helicopter out of the shed. Beyond bung legs, life is good. But for all the glory and for all the prize money, Mick's love of racing came down to something more personal. So what is the addiction, what is it that's giving you the high?
MICK DOOHAN: Just pushing everything to the edge and getting away with it.
TARA BROWN: Liz Ellis has given everything to be fit to compete at the Commonwealth Games. But it's not enough. As remarkable as her recovery is, there are no miracles. Time has run out.
LIZ ELLIS: For a netballer, it's the biggest thing that we get to do and when it's taken away from you, it is gut-wrenching.
TARA BROWN: It's going to be pretty hard to watch it.
LIZ ELLIS: I don't know that I will. If the girls win, I think I'll be inconsolable. And if the girls lose, I'll be inconsolable. So there's no two ways about it, it's going to be a really tough time
TARA BROWN: Andrew Johns knows too well the pull of competition.
ANDREW JOHNS: I had a lot of complications with the last operation...
TARA BROWN: He can't walk away without trying for at least another premiership. But being able to walk is his priority. That knee injury still haunts him.
ANDREW JOHNS: If it meant another serious operation of a knee, I'd pull the pin because I don't want to have a knee replacement at 40 and be in a walking stick at 45. You know, what's the quality of life with that?
TARA BROWN: You'd imagine, with time, elite athletes might reflect on the deal they've made short-term glory for potentially a lifetime of pain. But, no, they tell me all the physical sacrifice was worth it and every one of them would do it again.
ANDREW JOHNS: If someone were to come to me at 18 and said, "These are the injuries you are going to have", I wouldn't have thought twice about it, I would have said, "Yeah, no problem."
TARA BROWN: So it's all worth it the surgery, the pain, the training?
LIZ ELLIS: The scars yeah, absolutely.
TARA BROWN: It is just sport.
LIZ ELLIS: How can you say that, Tara? Out!

European Commission Objects to Apple iTunes Business Practices

The EC claims iTunes treats customers unfairly and that record labels are to blame
After a long series of investigations, the European Commission (EC) today decided to formally object to Apple and its iTunes business in European countries on anticompetitive practices. According to the EC, it has sent a Statement of Objections to Apple, indicating that the way Apple does business with its iTunes online store is in violations of EC treaty rules. Additional complaints were sent to major record labels operating in the European Union.
The problem lies in the way that major record labels deal with the iTunes online store, allowing only limited access based on the location of the customer. Prices vary across locations and across borders, and customers in one zone may not be allowed to purchase music that's available in another zone. Worse yet, some customers end up paying higher prices simply because of their geographical location.
European Commission spokesman Jonathan Todd publically stated that the EC
sees the agreement between record labels and Apple as a violation of trade treaties
. "Our current view is that this is an arrangement which is imposed on Apple by the major record companies and we do not see a justification for it." An official statement from the EC indicated that customers were having their credit cards scanned for location information and if for example the customer was located in Belgium, they could only purchase songs designated to Belgium.
The report states, "Apple and major record companies contain territorial sales restrictions which violate Article 81 of the EC Treaty. iTunes verifies consumers' country of residence through their credit card details. For example, in order to buy a music download from the iTunes Belgian on-line store a consumer must use a credit card issued by a bank with an address in Belgium."
An important note in the EC's statement said that while this charge is an indication of treaty violations, it is not a charge of monopolistic practices.
"The Statement of Objections does not allege that Apple is in a dominant market position and is not about Apple's use of its proprietary Digital Rights Management (DRM) to control usage rights for downloads from the iTunes on-line store," concludes the report.
Before the EC sent its formal charge to Apple, the life-style computer company already faced a number of allegations about the iTunes store. Earlier this year, a number of agencies in several European countries
joined forces to threaten legal action towards Apple
if it didn't change the way the iTunes store operated. Groups in Denmark, Germany, France, Norway and Sweden complained that
Apple's DRM format is too restrictive
and did not allow users to play music on players of their choice.
In February of this year, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that despite the restrictions placed on songs downloaded from the iTunes store,
he would rather see Digital Rights Management (DRM) completely abolished
. "Through the end of 2006, customers purchased a total of 90 million iPods and 2 billion songs from the iTunes store. On average, that's 22 songs purchased from the iTunes store for each iPod ever sold," Jobs said. While it's difficult to ignore that iTunes does effect sales of iPods, consumers have been against DRM-enabled music from the get-go. Even
Microsoft chairman Bill Gates took a stab at DRM
late last year.
With the EC's latest charge on Apple, it will be interesting to see how things shape up between Apple and major record labels. While the RIAA is still going after college students and other end users, the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) may be going through some changes
thanks to updated a new FAIR USE act, which calls for reduced restrictions for both consumers and hardware developers. The dynamics between Apple, record labels and government agencies is no doubt a complex one. Despite Apple's troubles,
the iTunes business is still a roaring success
remember me
This article is over a month old, voting and posting comments is disabled
RE: Their what location?
Here we go again. The labels CAN'T SUE on such a basis because european trade law does not allow them to. That is why I am sure it has nothing to do with contracts. Even if there are such contracts they are illegal according to european trade law, hence invalid. So I am allowed to not care about these contracts.
Let me give you an example. Nortec is a greek company and the exclusive distributor of Nintendo products in Greece, Cyprus and the balkan states. But there are other companies importing Nintendo products from other parts of the EU. Now Nortec's contract of exclusivity with Nintendo, the way you see it, would give Nortec the ability to sue other importers to oblivion but IT DOES NOT. Why? Because international trade withing the EU is free of any such restriction. The only thing that matters is if the goods got in the EU legally. From that point on it's a free for all situation.
Again, you may not like it. But that is the european law. You either realize that or you don't.
Additionally it's only logical to complain for the fact that Apple won't let me use another european store because they are obligated to sell internationally, since the infrastructure for such sales is already there. The company just chose to impose certain restrictions.
It's funny that you say that if there is no access, there can be no sale hence there is no problem. That is the part you don't get. Apple HAS to give me access because it is technically possible with no added cost. All they have to do is accept credit card numbers and IP addresses from different countries withing the EU.
This whole mess stems from the fact that Apple denies me access when they have no right to do so. So you are the confused one. I never said IF one gives me access. I said if access is technically possible.

At sacred one of the horses fell, and she broke her roll as she hit the ground. In bigger than a minute, he tonight roughened a electric hard bumps on penis up into the squat girl's bowels.

The Old Man and the Sea
by Ernest Hemingway
The Old Man and the Sea Strength and Skill Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Day.Paragraph). We artificially created chapters by defining "days," because there are no chapter breaks in The Old Man and the Sea. Here's how we divided up the days:
- Day 1 = the start of the book until the old man falls asleep for the night
- Day 2 = begins when the old man wakes up and goes until sunrise of the next day
- Day 3 = begins at sunrise and goes until the old man dreams about the lions
- Day 4 = begins when the old man wakes and ends when the old man gets back to his shack for the night
- Day 5 = begins with the boy seeing the old man in the morning and goes until the end of the book
Quote #4
"He was a great manager," the boy said. "My father thinks he was the greatest." "Because he came here the most times," the old man said. "If Durocher had continued to come here each year your father would think him the greatest manager." (1.130, 1.131)
Greatness and prowess are subjective qualities in The Old Man and the Sea.
Quote #5
"Who is the greatest manager, really, Luque or Mike Gonzalez?"
"I think they are equal."
"And the best fisherman is you." (1.132-1.134)
The boy believes the old man's prowess to be as great as that of the baseball players and managers he admires.

Why we need gunsMay 10,2013
Why we need guns
I feel it necessary to voice logical contradiction to the letter in Thursdays Times Argus regarding a push for gun control.
First of all, where are any of our constitutional rights limited outside the language of the Constitution itself?
Second, the Second Amendment is specifically written to provide us protection from the government. Period. It has nothing to do with sporting use. Nothing. If the government decides to turn its arms inward, all of those serving the government will have a decision to make that I do not envy. The effective weapon described as the ballot box is useless as we are now faced with a society that takes its direction from a corrupt media feeding the small-minded parrots pellets of distorted information to serve their own goals.
Third, if guns are illegal, only criminals will have guns does not need further illustration of its pure logic. Please. Enforce the laws we have first, and then re-examine.
Guns dont kill people without a human intervention, and if there were no guns there would still be murderers. Please take a look at the statistics of some of the most gun-restrictive cities in the country and compare them to similar cities (population/demographic-wise) and try to make the argument.
Placing qualifiers in the hands of a broken bureaucracy is a short path to total disarmament, which is exactly what an oppressive government would want. Again, this has nothing to do with sporting use; this has to do with protecting ourselves from whatever threat we may face. I would ask the authors: How many times have you had to defend yourself or your family to conclude you dont need a 30-round magazine, though I agree the design of the grip is meaningless.
Nothing in the recently proposed gun legislation would have done anything to stop the Sandy Hook tragedy. Nothing. Sadly, the only thing that would have stopped it would have been a bullet. I know uncomfortable facts are difficult for progressives, as they dont have a close relationship with facts, but it is what it is. Owning a firearm for self-defense and the defense of ones family is a huge responsibility, not to be taken lightly. I have no quarrels with those unwilling to, or too cowardly to, take responsibility for their well-being. What I will not stand for is their intent to deprive me of my right and responsibility to protect myself and my family.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
The New 2011 Jaguar XJ Supercharged
Pros: The 470 Horsepower of sheer elegance and guts
Cons: It would be nice to have a real instrument cluster, but heh, we live in a world of graphics.Wow, what a car. This is the first time a bought a car sight unseen. The car far exceeds my expectations. I previously owned a 1998 XJL. Yes, I had problems with the 1998 but Jag fixed them all without a fuss (including replacing the transmission). The 2011 is far superior in interior materials and design. The new exterior is very striking and worthy of a car of this stature. The 470 HP is very responsive and gutsy. For the weight/HP ration, the car screams performance. On the highway, it certainly provide good gas mileage. I am averaging 18 combined. The are minor glitches but nothing to gripe about. Yes, I would buy this car again. Overall, I love the looks, stance and interior. My true test is that I enjoy washing the car every weekend to admire the 'cat' for all perspectives. It doens't meow, but growls with purrfection.
But the Rattles and squeaks
Pros: Blind spot monitor is superb. Love the gear shift disc too.
Cons: The rattles, the interior finish, the noise in the cabin. poor manufactureI bought one of the first XF's. Frost Blue. A good looking great performing car!. Exterior is superb, the interior design beats anything I have ever seen or used. BUT it has rattles and squeaks and groans and it is noisy. Do not buy the best audio system, you will never hear it. The inly problems after 2 years have been door locks that lock or unlock at their own will. This has been fixed, and the car was not to my order spec. A really great car, great service, but the Rattles!!!!!!!
Jaguar 2008 - the last of the classic Jaguars
Pros: Style
Cons: Outdated ElectronicsAs Jaguar moves to the world of the XF and stretching it into the new XJ 2011, my Jaguar XJ Super 8 has been a stylish drive. Smooth ride and a rather responsive engine makes it a joy. Outdated electronics and a very poor service department makes it me after nearly 20 years of owning several Jaguars ready to move on. It saddens me since I have become associated with Jaguar since I have driven one for many years. They are unique cars and always an eye catcher but from the owner's perspective they are work - or at least require to much work for what they deliver.
Great Car except for Keyless Entry
Pros: Style & Performance
Cons: Keyless Entry is only complaint!The Jag XK is a great car, but the Keyless Entry is a piece of junk. Give me an old fashioned key to start the engine!
Sharp ridethis is a car that turns heads. People love the color and style.
Good year round car
Pros: Comfortable seats. Looks.
Cons: Gas mileage and rangeOverall, a good car, with adequate power. Looks nice and handles reasonably well. Heated seats only worked on the front of the seat and not at the butt. It has poor gas mileage and range. I have to fill up at about 240-250 miles
Deferred Dream Realized
Pros: The magnificently tuned ride and suspension.
Cons: Have yet to discover anything I don't like.As a member of the college graduate class of 1967, I saw myself as soon earning 10K a year and driving an XKE, but there was the war in Viet Nam, then law school, then family and always something that took priority. Forty years later the XKE had been long replaced by the XK8: well worth the wait!

Grant: Tide needs good decision-making
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 11:08 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | There is more than one kind of pressure in basketball, but the University of Alabama Crimson Tide will get a glimpse of at least two varieties tonight.
First, UA will have to deal with the trapping defense of the Arkansas Razorbacks. Second, coming off a one-point loss at Tennessee, the Crimson Tide will have to assert its homecourt advantage or risk losing touch with the leaders in the Southeastern Conference.
Crimson Tide coach Anthony Grant is unconcerned about the standings — "our total focus is on Arkansas," he said at his Wednesday press conference — but is stressing ball security against the pressing style of Mike Anderson's Razorbacks.
"Having had a chance to watch Arkansas on film, I'm really impressed," Grant said. "You look at the numbers, and what jumps out at you defensively is forcing 20 turnovers, getting 10 steals a game. The pace of the game (and) style of play is going to be critical. We're going to have to do a great job of taking care of the basketball."
Alabama can counter with a dual point guard attack using Trevor Releford and Trevor Lacey, but Grant cautions that there is more to attacking Arkansas than dribbling.
"It's more about understanding what we have to do in terms of when to attack, how to attack and when it's time to be patient and run offense," Grant said. "Obviously, the more skilled guys you have out there in terms of being able to handle and pass against a team like Arkansas, it helps. But you have to make good decisions. It comes down to your decision-making in terms of being able to take care of the basketball and find quality shots."
Arkansas, on the other hand, is looking to find a comfort zone away from home. The Razorbacks are 0-6 in games played away from Bud Walton Arena this season.
"You don't change what you do," Anderson said on the SEC teleconference earlier this week. "Playing on the road does put a premium on defense, but you do the same things to win, no matter where you are."
Arkansas is led statistically by senior forward Marshawn Powell, who is averaging 20.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in the Razorbacks' last four contests.

Princeton Seminary
celebrated Black History Month with song, worship, art, and food. A month-long series of events organized by the Association of Black
Seminarians honored the contributions of African American preachers,
musicians, and citizens.
February kicked off with a concert by the Albert McNeil Jubilee Singers,
an internationally acclaimed choral group that performed music from the
African American tradition, including spirituals, gospel music, calypso,
and Caribbean and African songs. Albert McNeil also led a workshop called
"The Spiritual in the 21st Century" that explored the evolution of this
unique musical form and its role in the lives of American blacks.
Dr. Gardner C. Taylor, pastor emeritus of Concord
Baptist Church in
Brooklyn, New York, and recognized
dean of black preaching in America,
preached at a worship service honoring black religious leaders who paved the way for
contemporary American Christians.
PTS alumna Melinda Contreras-Byrd (Class of 1999) exhibited a project
called "100 Positive Men of Color" highlighting 100 Latino and African
American men who are positive role models in the culture. The exhibit
included biographical sketches and photographs of clergymen, social
scientists, artists, entertainers, politicians, scholars, farm workers,
and entrepreneurs from across the country, some of whom came to Princeton
on February 9 for a ceremony in Miller Chapel called "The All People's
Celebration and Awards Ceremony."
The gospel choirs of Princeton Seminary and Princeton University gave a
joint concert on February 15, and the Seminary dining service prepared a
southern-style soul food dinner on February 20.
The month ended with a "platform" worship service called "Go Preach!" in
which seven students preached, faculty members were honored, and the
Seminary community, including children, joined in dancing, singing, and

EcoRise Youth Innovations partners with high school teachers to infuse sustainability education into the school's daily curriculum, aligning our lessons to support STEM (science & technology) subjects. With an emphasis on green design innovation, our program introduces students to current environmental challenges in a number of areas, including water, energy, transportation, food, and waste.
With the guidance of local design mentors and a curriculum inspired by present-day thought-leaders, students are then encouraged to create their own solutions to a specific sustainability challenge. These hands-on projects have resulted in green campus improvements, original green inventions, and Master Sustainability Action Plans for schools and building prototypes.
Over the past three years, EcoRise has had an incredible impact on the lives of over 500 students in six schools in Austin. As a result, we are facing more demand than we can keep up with. The only way we can reach more youth in more schools is to formalize and package our curriculum and train more teachers so they have the capacity to implement our unique program in their own classrooms. Your support is crucial so that we may double the number of schools we serve this fall.

AUGUSTA---The Lucy Laney Museum is featuring an exhibit about the role of African-Americans in golf. Today the museum got set up for the show.
Black caddies were a big part of history in the Masters Tournament. Caddie Willie Peterson helped Jack Nicklaus win his first five Masters titles.
Today, only a few black caddies work the PGA Tour.
"We're trying to add a little historical perspective as it relates to the African-American presence in golf, from all different levels," said historian Corey Rogers. "From the caddy level to the golf arena. But we also want people to appreciate the artwork."
The exhibit features artwork from Samuel Barnes, a local self-taught artist.
You can check it all out at the Lucy Craft Laney Museum on Phillips Street. The exhibit officially opens Monday, April 5 and runs through May 31.

NEW DELHI: This year's frail monsoon has depleted Indian reservoirs to alarming levels last seen during the devastating drought of 2009, threatening even winter-sown crops and making the country vulnerable to drinking water scarcity by February as India's grossly inadequate storage capacity magnifies the impact of weak rainfall.
The situation is precarious because the monsoon has delivered normal rainfall to only one-third of the country. The total deficit so far this season is 22%, but rainfall has been 40% below average in key crop-growing areas in the north and northwest. India's 84 important reservoirs are filled only to 19% capacity, which is 41% lower than last year.

Honda's motorcycle-to-car communication system was demonstrated for the first time in Europe this past week at the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium at the Opel Test Track in Dudenhofen, Germany.
The system generates warnings to riders and drivers of other vehicles by continuous exchange of positioning data from satellite GPS sources. Honda believes the technology to be particularly relevant as road users approach intersections, alerting them to other vehicles that are potentially on a collision course and thus allowing avoidance maneuvers. The demonstration exhibited the interoperability of the Honda system with vehicles from eight other manufacturers.
The System
Honda has been researching Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication systems for more than a decade, both independently and in joint research projects in Japan and the United States.
V2V communication rapidly relays information in a simple and concise manner, which supports motorists' and bikers' recognition processes. Information including position, direction and vehicle dynamics coordinates is exchanged between vehicles.
Both a visual and an audible warning are provided in safety critical situations. Motorcycle riders can safely receive warnings about vehicles near them on a Heads-up Indicator Display – located on the upper edge of the motorcycle dashboard, as close as possible to the line of vision – and can receive information through an in-helmet audio system via a Bluetooth communication link. Drivers can view information on the status of cars and motorcycles in their vicinity and receive warnings on, for example, their navigation system display. The intensity of the audible warning, and color and position of the lights, provide intuitive information on the seriousness and the location of the danger.
In 1999, the European Motorcycle Accident In-Depth Study (MAIDS) investigated the underlying causes of motorcycle accidents. Data was collected on 921 motorcycle accidents occurring in five European countries. It was found that 88% of the accidents were mainly caused by human error. In 37% of cases the motorcyclist was the cause of the accident, while in 50% of cases the driver of the other vehicle was responsible.
A breakdown of this 50% showed that 72% were so-called 'perception' failures, where the driver failed to see the motorcycle, 3% were 'comprehension' failures (they saw the motorcycle but the brain did not recognize it as such), and 20% were 'decision' failures (they saw the motorcycle but decided to continue with the intended maneuver anyway).
It is in these situations, Honda says, the V2V communication system may compensate for errors of perception or momentary lacks of concentration.
Honda says the development of inter vehicle communication is part of the company's ongoing approach to safety for powered two-wheelers, which includes preventive, active and passive safety. Technologies in the field of preventive safety include the Motorcycle Riding Simulator and the Riding Trainer, both of which are used for hazard perception training; the introduction of the world's first motorcycle airbag; and this year's release of the first ever electronically controlled combined ABS for supersport bikes.

When the coaches at Xtreme Thunder gym in Duncan noted the girl's tumbling skills and trainability, they almost immediately placed Meagan Morriston of Marlow on their elite senior-4.2 team as a flyer.
Now, the spunky girl is headed to Orlando, Florida, where on May 4 and 5, she will compete with her squad in the National Cheerleading Association's Varsity Summit, an international competition being staged at Walt Disney World®.
Receiving a bid to compete at the Summit is quite an envious achievement in the world of All-Star cheerleading. Only the best of the best receive bids. Xtreme's senior-4.2 team was invited after earning a qualifying score and placing second out of eight teams in their division at the recent NCA Nationals in Dallas.
And when the squad takes the mat on May 4 in Orlando, a 10-year-old girl from Marlow will be living a dream-come-true by being among them.
The daughter of Kelly and Brandi Morriston, Meagan has a solid background in tumbling. For two years prior to enrolling at Xtreme Thunder, she was a student at Sooner Tumbling and received coaching in both Marlow and Chickasha.
According to her mother, she brought home countless honors from competitions, including a number of gold medals, during that brief span. Meagan has even mastered the full twist, an advanced skill that is a 360-degree revolution performed in midair during a back layout. Few gymnasts accomplish this feat by the age of 10.
As a flyer, Meagan is hoisted aloft by three or four teammates, called "bases," during stunts.
It can be pretty scary, entrusting your safety, and skeletal system, to others; and Meagan admitted that the moments she spends high above the mat are anxious ones "some or most of the time." But she also noted, "I trust my bases a lot." And rightfully so. They are veteran cheerleaders; three have competed in the sport for a number of years.
Despite her youth and lack of experience, the youngest member of the team has already become quite expert in such stunt positions as the liberty, the arabesque, the scorpion and the heel-stretch, as well as such dismounts as the basket toss, twisting full-down, double-down and impressive kick-full.
Meagan apparently possesses the magic keys—innate talent, determination and dedication—that unlock doors in the field of athletics.
"I'm a very fast learner," she observed.
Furthermore, she and her mom spend hours at the gym every week so that Meagan can perfect her technique and practice the routine that she and her 19 fellow-teammates will perform at the Varsity Summit.
"Altogether, we're in here (at the gym) five days a week—Sunday through Thursday," said Brandi.
The cheerleaders, a number of parents, and the coaches will be flying to Orlando individually or in small groups. Brandi and Meagan will fly Delta Airlines to the Summit and return with American Airlines.
"I am excited to go to Walt Disney World 'cause I have never been, and I'm glad I get to go with my team," Meagan asserted.
Off the matMeagan has been in the Marlow public schools since pre-K and has attained the A/B honor roll. A tall, slender brunette with blue eyes and a sprinkling of freckles, she was active in soccer and softball in the past and currently participates in the early-morning walking program at school.
Math and science are her favorite subjects. This is a good thing, since she hopes someday to become a pediatrician.
In her leisure time, Meagan channels her energies into designing paper figures using origami, writing, reading, watching movies, playing video games, bouncing on the trampoline, playing out-of-doors, and just "enjoying nature," she said.
Her favorite book is Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and "If I get 'caught into' a book, I don't want to stop reading it," she confessed.
Meagan attends Marlow's First Baptist Church with her family.
The Morristons are a close-knit, mutually-supportive family. Kelly is in quality control for the Ross Group, a construction company at Fort Sill; and Brandi is a part-time stylist at Tangles who devotes her after-school hours to her three daughters and their pursuits.
In addition to Meagan, the Morriston girls include eighth-grader Kelsee, who recently qualified for the Marlow High cheer squad, and Brooke, a seventh-grader on Xtreme Thunder's junior level-2 squad who will also cheer for Marlow Middle School next year.
They share their home with three cats, an English bulldog, a miniature dachshund and a golden retriever.
"We just hope Meagan continues to grow as the beautiful person God made her, fulfilling our shared faith that through Christ all things are possible," noted Kelly Morriston. "She has shown uncommon focus for a child her age, while still able to be such a fun-loving kid."
"Our family and friends are very proud of Meagan, for how hard she works in everything and what she and Xtreme Thunder have done this year," he continued. "They are a wonderful group of young people with great coaches."

MP to renew push for polling inquiry.Labour MP Barry Sheerman is to press ahead with his campaign for an inquiry into the polling industry after Parliament's summer recess.
His Early Day Motion – which lamented the "decline of self-regulation of public opinion polling companies" and called for legislation if necessary – has attracted 80 signatures since it was tabled in May.
"We are still trying to get a debate on it [in the House of Commons]," a member of his Westminster team told Research. "The campaign is attracting a lot of attention."
Sheerman and Robert Worcester, founder and chairman of polling firm MORI, have both written articles on the issue for a forthcoming issue of The House Magazine, Parliament's in-house journal.
Meanwhile, the Market Research Society ( MRS ) has met with a number of pollsters in a bid to prepare a collective response to the threat of regulation. That response is expected in the next couple of months.
The MRS is understood to have a preference for self-regulation, although it has acknowledged that pollsters may have a different view on the issue.

Saturday is free museum day; find out which Dallas-area museums are participating
Saturday (Sept. 29) is Smithsonian's Museum Day Live, which means you can get free admission to many museums around the country.
All you have to do is print out a pass on the Museum Day website.
There's some fine print, of course. One ticket is good for two people, and there's a limit of one ticket per household. The museums can limit entry if they reach capacity. Check the site for other details.
Still, it's a good excuse to get out and see that exhibit you've been putting off seeing.
Tip: On the site, click on Find A Museum, then scroll down and enter Texas as your state, to get a full list of museums in Dallas and nearby. You might even be inspired to take a road trip.
Among the Dallas-area museums: The Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney; Heritage Farmstead Museum in Plano; the Irving Arts Center;
and the River Legacy Living Science Center in Arlington. (See a more complete list on the Arts Blog.)
