Sophomore Eurndraus Bryant hit a walkoff homer Friday to give Fort Dorchester a 5-4 win over Stratford.
Stratford had all the momentum and a 4-3 lead entering the bottom half of the seventh inning in North Charleston but then things went south for the Knights. Corey Rawlings, who started the game on the hill for the Patriots, hit a high popup that fell in the shallow outfield. Rawlings reached second on the play.
That brought Bryant, who hit a two-run homer March 8 to drive in the game-winning run in a game at Stratford, to the plate. Despite having a base open, the Knights pitched to Bryant and he hit a pitch directly over the 350-yard sign in center field for another two-run homer to clinch the Patriots fourth straight win.
"I was nervous but this is a big game so I knew I needed to hit the ball," Bryant said. "I knew I would need a perfect pitch and it just happened to be there."
With the help of some base on balls, the Patriots went up 3-1. But the Fort then made some critical errors in the field to allow Stratford to tie the game. Stratford then got a hit off reliever Ryan Boyle to drive in a run and take a 4-3 lead.
"This is just a great testament to our guys not quitting," Fort Dorchester coach Jack Radcliffe said. "We were patient at the plate. We did a great job of not being overly aggressive and were able to put some guys on base. But Stratford is a good team. They are a little young, but they have already beat Ashley Ridge twice and Beaufort once so this is a good measuring stick for us. If we can beat a team like that, maybe we can do something in our region."
Boyle picked up the pitching win to improve his record to 2-1. The Patriots improved to 5-3 on the season and are looking to extend their winning streak Wednesday when they open region play in Beaufort. They then return home to host Ashley Ridge Friday.
Radcliffe said he is excited about his young team and his new coaching staff, which includes assistants Mark Henderson, Ryan Charpia, Tyler LaPrad and Jimmy Duke.
"I have some new coaches helping me out this year and they are doing a great job," he said. "Mark and Tyler both played for me and Ryan was also a heck of a ball player. The work they are putting in with these kids is making an impact. Jimmy keeps our book and does a good job of providing moral support for the kids."

Halloween mask leaves Oregon students outraged
by Meghan Kalkstein
October 16, 2009
KATU News
SALEM, Ore. -- A Halloween mask sold near the Willamette University campus has sparked outrage among students, who are calling them racist and dehumanizing.
The mask depicts an illegal immigrant. The students say they also found a number of offensive masks, not just poking fun at immigrants, but directed at other minorities as well.
The students say that so far, they have found the masks sold in Toys R Us, Target and the Lancaster Spirit Halloween Store in Salem. They are trying to get the masks recalled.The Spirit Halloween Store began received complaints about the masks Wednesday. The manager made the decision to stop stocking the masks after the very first call. The students hope other retailers will follow suit.
"It's offensive because it takes these certain groups of people and compares them to these monsters and demons that are scary on Halloween. And it compares them to that," Student Nilo Thomas said.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - On Jan. 17-18, Councilman Mark Brown represented the town of Truckee at the League of California Cities' first policy committee meetings in 2013. Brown serves as the chairman on the Administrative Services committee, which is integral to the League's policy-making process.
"My city benefits from the League's policy committees because we are able to weigh in on issues that will affect our budgets and shape future policies. Without these meetings our influence on the state's decisions would be greatly diminished," said Brown.
"These meetings are the best way for individual cities to have their voices heard by the League and translated into direct advocacy efforts," said League Executive Director Chris McKenzie.
There are eight standing League policy committees including Administrative Services, Community Services, Employee Relations, Environmental Quality, Housing, Community and Economic Development, Public Safety, Revenue and Taxation, and Transportation, Communications, and Public Works. These committees evaluate proposed legislation as it related to existing policy and make recommendations for legislation where the League currently does not have policy.
The League's policy making process allows the issues facing California cities to be debated and the organization's policy directions to be established. Close to 400 city officials serve on the League's policy committees and add their collective expertise, wisdom and opinions to the policy debate that is the foundation of League policy. The recommendations from the policy committee are forwarded to the League board of directors.
Following the January meetings in Sacramento, the League's policy committees will meet April 4-5 in Pasadena, June 13-14 in Sacramento and during the League's annual conference in Sacramento as needed.
For more information on the League's policy development process visit www.cacities.org/Policy-Advocacy/Policy-Development.
Established in 1898, the League of California Cities is a nonprofit statewide association that advocates for cities with the state and federal governments and provides education and training services to elected and appointed city officials.

Rack-And-Pinion On A Dropped Axle Model A
When's the last time you looked underneath an early hot rod with a tube axle or I-beam axle and found rack-and-pinion steering? More likely, you saw a Vega box or Mustang box-but rack-and-pinion is now an option for rodders.
We've been hearing about the Cross Steer rack-and-pinion system from Unisteer Products ever since it was named Best New Product in the Street Rod/Custom Car category at the SEMA Show in 2003, but we had yet to watch a swap being done.
That changed when we found out that KA Customs was ready to install a Cross Steer system on Joe Torres' full-fendered '31 Model A sedan. The car was running a worn-out Mustang box and definitely overdue for an upgrade. Instead of replacing the box, Joe decided to go a different direction, to eliminate bump steer and lose some of the sloppy steering feeling sometimes associated with boxes.
The Cross Steer system, to put it simply, uses the mechanics of a rack-and-pinion, combined with the side-steering method of a box and drag link set-up. This one-sided rack mounts to the framerail on the driver side and a chrome steering tube (included) connects to the steering arm on the passenger side spindle; a tie rod connects right and left steering arms. The Cross Steer rack going on to Joe's '31 is designed as a direct replacement for a Vega box with a 6-inch pitman arm, and features a bracket pre-drilled to fit directly to the Vega box mounting bracket. Since the sedan was running a Mustang box, not a Vega box, the mounting bracket was welded to the frame instead and reinforced with a pair of custom-fabricated gussets, adding a tiny degree of difficulty to an otherwise simple installation.
As Kevin Francis at KA Customs pointed out, and the photos illustrate, this swap works best with a four-bar front suspension, so that the steering can run in between the upper and lower bars. Wishbones or hairpins would probably interfere with the tie rod and drag link. Otherwise, no suspension adjustments were required. If replacing a Vega box, the job might not require any steering column modifications, and you can probably retain the same U-joint as well. Of course, Unisteer recommends that you check your front suspension before making the swap, to ensure that you get the best performance.
In addition to '28-34 Ford applications, Unisteer also offers a '35-40 Cross Steer system. The package being used here came complete with the rack-and-pinion, coupler, chrome steering tube for use as the drag link, and hardware. The installation was a half-day job (at most) and required no special tools or talent, with the exception of some welding, which would not be necessary if replacing a Vega box. While a steering rack might not be the perfect look on a traditional open-wheel hot rod, it's virtually unnoticeable on a full-fendered car, and is an easy upgrade.

Over in the female thread, Olympia commented that:
Be warned, it is not going to be any way near as long as the female list, for the simple reason that I have never looked at males skaters from that perspective before! And because of this, it is difficult to think of people to include!
So, I make no apology that this list predominantly consists of skaters I tend to support because I like their skating!
Florent Amodio: Firstly, I like his skin tone. I have always tended to find women that are the same colour as Florent attractive, so that is hardly surprising. Although he has lived in France for so long, Florent still has that typical Brazilian exuberance. But, he has also picked up the typical French arrogance. Put together, these give him a real presence, which is one of the things I love about him. On the other hand, I personally dont understand what women see in muscular men.
Brian Joubert: Come on, few people can deny that Brian is probably the most handsome guy on the circuit! While Brian is undoubtedly flamboyant when he is skating, it is not in the same way as Florent. Like Florent, Brian has the typical French arrogance, but it is a more confident and controlled arrogance than the emotional Brazilian. But, unlike a certain highly-successful female Korean skater, it is not cockiness.
Artur Gachinski: Love his hair! I have always wanted to grow my hair long, just like Arturs. But, I am one of those people that when their hair starts creeping over their ear, it feels uncomfortable. Artur also has the advantage of youth on his side. He has a great body, which we know about because he is not adverse to showing it off. If there was one skater I would want to look like, it would probably be Artur.
Fabian Bourzat: Cant really think of what to say about Fabian, except that he has the hair, and he has an air of confidence about him (Not quite to the extent of Brian and Florent, but its still there). Plus, he normally has Nathalie Pechalat attached to his arm, which is always a bonus!
Charlie White: Hair again! But, he seems to be a generally happier sort of a character than the other hair guys I have listed.
Daisuke Takahashi: As youve probably worked out by now, Ive always loved all things Japanese. Normally, I would hate the greasy look. But, Daisuke looks every inch the pop star. He is so confident and doesnt let anything phase him. Kinda like Brian, in that respect.
Yuzuru Hanyu: If he were in a boy band, Yuzuru would be the cute one that all the girls would be trying to get the attention of. But, what I like about him is that he doesnt realise this, or at least doesnt let it go to his head. He seems so down to earth. And that is a very attractive feature in, well, anybody.
Dennis Ten: As with the Japanese, I love all things Korean (which, lets face it, Dennis is!) There is no denying that Dennis is cute. But, he is far too serious! If only he could cheer up a bit, it would improve things greatly. Kinda like I said about Anastasia Martiusheva in the female thread. But, I suspect that with Dennis, some good results would make all the difference in his outlook.
Scott Moir: Scott falls into the same category as Dennis in that he is far too serious! Maybe it was because of the Olympics being in Canada that year, but back in 2010 he seemed like a good-looking, fun young guy. Remember their gala routine in Vancouver? Now, hes so serious, and its putting years on him.
Since I joined this forum, I have made it obvious that I fancy Liza Tuktamysheva like mad. But, despite this, I am not going to include Johnny Weir in this list. Whilst I can see some similarity between them, I dont think it is as big as a lot of people make out.
So, there you have it. A straight guy making a list of handsome guys. Its not something I ever plan to repeat - it was far too difficult!!!

Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Remember back in the day when you were a kid going on a school field trip? Or, perhaps more recently when you may have been a parent-chaperone or a teacher in charge of a class? Those were exciting, fun times, just being away from the classroom and on an adventure to see and experience new places and things.
Recently, a more mature group of ladies from the Garden Club of Snee Farm had just that sort of day, embarking on a pleasant day trip to the fabled Swan Lake-Iris Gardens just under two hours north of the Lowcountry in Sumter.
After the long stretches of rain and below average temperatures, we were favored by a gorgeous day, dry and with low humidity, as we arrived at the City of Sumter's Visitors Center.
There, we learned that Swan Lake-Iris Gardens had emerged as a completely unplanned stroke of good fortune. The project was begun in 1927 as a fishing retreat for successful local businessman Hamilton Carr Bland. His plan was to develop the 30 acres of swamp on the property while landscaping the grounds of his large home with Japanese iris (Iris ensata) a tall, regal flower whose dominant colors ranged from a light violet to a deep imperial purple.
Unfortunately for Bland, the plantings failed miserably. In an attempt to salvage his grand plan, he consulted with both local horticulturists and experts from as far afield as New York to no avail. Finally, Bland ordered his gardeners to dig up the unproductive bulbs and dispose of them unceremoniously in the swamp.
Much to his amazement, the following spring those very same bulbs burst forth in full bloom. Bland might have been spared his initial dismay had even one of the horticulturists he consulted mentioned that "Oh, by the way, Iris ensata likes 'wet feet'." Turns out this particular flower thrives in a very damp environment, which is precisely what Bland's bulbs had gotten when he had them tossed aside to what he incorrectly assumed would be a watery grave.
What began as an accidental garden has since been developed into one of the premier botanical attractions in the nation.
At the time of our garden club visit, no tour guides were available so the 47 women in our group struck out on the suggested ¾ mile stroll along the lake.
Immediately, we began encountering those eponymous swans (genus Cygnus), both the well-known white swans and the lesser-known and more exotic black swans. Brought to Sumter from around the world, they now grace the Sumter wetlands year-round. In all, eight separate species of swan are represented at the park.
Also of considerable interest to the garden club members were the namesake Japanese irises. The 150 acre garden boasts the most extensive collection in the United States. Irises bloom early in the spring, reaching their peak in mid-May. At the time of our visit, we were not able to witness full bloom, but the examples already flowering were spectacular enough for many of us to consider return trips later in season. Interestingly, the ever present companions of the graceful irises were hosts of stately turtles. Friendly as they might seem, sound advice is not to try to pat the turtles, as some are snappers. And, the occasional alligator has been spotted lurking in the swamp as well.
In addition to irises the gardens offer many additional floral attractions including colorful camellias, azaleas, day lilies and Japanese magnolias.
Our nature walk took us through the Braille Trail, offering the visually impaired the opportunity to enjoy the scents and sensations of the extensive gardens and to learn about them as well.
A unique feature that pleased all of us was the Chocolate Garden. No, bon bons don't grow on trees. But, all of the plantings here exude the rich aroma of fine cocoa. Close your eyes and you'll feel transported to an elegant confectionery.
Welcoming guests to the Butterfly Garden is a majestic yellow wrought iron butterfly. Within, throngs of delicate, colorful Lepidoptera flit and fly among more gorgeous plantings.
Nearby, the Heath Garden features a towering masterpiece, "Recovery" by renowned sculptor Grainger McKoy. Eighteen feet tall and made of brushed steel, it is a monument to humanity's and nature's resilience.
After our tour of Swan Lake-Iris Gardens, our group repaired for lunch to Serendipity on Main Street, with its extensive Southern buffet. Seated in a private area of the restaurant we dined on chicken, beef and pork and a multitude of sides. Desserts were offered before the meal and many of them were simply too delightful to pass up.
Mission accomplished, we garden club members boarded our bus well-fed and well-pleased with our day at Swan Lake-Iris Gardens.
On the way home, many of us relived the day's activities. Brenda Temple, president of the Garden Club of Snee Farm, termed the trip "Fantastic" noting that she particularly enjoyed "the serene walk through the gardens." Social co-chair Louise Pennisi called the experience "Enchanting…a wonderful public space."
And member Vivian Doolittle enjoyed the "lovely stroll through groomed, tranquil gardens" adding, however, that she had a few moments of apprehension when confronted by a particularly aggressive white swan that nipped at several ladies ankles. "We had to scramble."
Curiously, no one made any humorous references to having been perplexed at all the wildlife, when she had expected to be attending a ballet. But, one or two kidders wondered if participating in the Swan Lake-Iris Gardens "field trip" might result in a gold star on their report cards.
Swan Lake-Iris Gardens is something of a well-kept secret but ideal for group visits or family excursions. For more information go to firstname.lastname@example.com

When it was over, the world's No. 1-ranked player sounded almost relieved that she wouldn't have to try to win the Family Circle Cup for a third straight year.
"I'm really just dead," Serena Williams said Tuesday night after a shocking 6-4, 6-4 loss in her opening match against Jana Cepelova, a 20-year-old Slovakian ranked No. 78. "I need some weeks off where I don't think about tennis and kind of regroup. I've had a long couple of years, and I'm really a little fatigued."
Serena's spring break - "I'm going to go on a vacation for sure," she said - will come at a price.
The 32-year-old was trying to win her third straight Family Circle Cup title and fourth overall, putting her in the company of tennis legend Chris Evert, who won five straight FCC titles from 1974-78.
Serena won her 59th WTA singles title last week on hardcourts in Miami. But it wasn't the quick turnaround to green clay that did her in; she's made that transition before. She said it was the culmination of the last two years, when she's reclaimed her No. 1 ranking and won 18 titles after a nearly year-long layoff in 2011 due to illness and injury.
"There's just been so much in the last several years," said Serena, who lost for just the fourth time on clay to a player ranked outside of the top 75. "I just need to take a deep breath and regroup. I think actually it'll really help me for the rest of the clay-court season."
Former Family Circle Cup champions Venus Williams, Serena's older sister, and Samantha Stosur flirted with similar disaster. Each needed three sets and more than two hours to win. No. 8 seed Sorana Cirstea did lose, and hometown favorite Shelby Rogers put up a brave fight in a 7-5, 7-5 loss to No. 12 Daniela Hantuchova.
But the big story was Serena, who had received a first-round bye. She was quick to credit Cepelova, who played a $50,000 ITF event in Osprey, Fla., last week and did not even bring her coach with her to Charleston. But Serena might have lost to almost anybody on Tuesday; as it is, it was her worst loss since she fell to No. 111 Virginie Razzano in the French Open in 2011.
Williams, who had won her last 15 matches at the Family Circle Cup, sleep-walked through the first 20 minutes, dropping the first five games as a stunned crowd at Billie Jean King Stadium Court watched in silence.
Early in the second set, Serena called for a medical time out and a trainer examined her lower back and taped her left thigh. Williams rallied briefly, but Cepelova did not fold, mixing solid groundstrokes with timely drop shots.
"All credit to her," said Serena, who lost on Stadium Court for the first time since she had to retire against Yung-Jan Chan in 2007. "She did well today ... she played the best she can probably play."
Cepelova actually defeated 2010 Family Circle Cup champ Stosur, then ranked No. 16, in three sets in Doha earlier this year.
But even that didn't prepare her for the reality of upsetting the world's top player.
"No. No," Cepelova said when asked if she thought before the match that she could beat Serena. "Of course, if you go to the court, you have to have all head to win. But it was not on my . I was nervous and I was not thinking about my win today."
Serena's loss opens her side of the bracket for players such as No. 3-seed Sara Errani, No. 5 Sloane Stephens and No. 15 Madison Keys. Four former Family Circle champs - Stosur, Venus Williams, Sabine Lisicki and No. 2 seed Jelena Jankovic - lurk on the other side.
What has been Serena's Show on Daniel Island is now wide open. She'll be somewhere far away.
"I'm excited," she said. "I feel like I now have the time to just take a breath and the break that I really needed to take and go from there."

CLARION - Big plays have hurt the Chestnut Ridge High School football team all season, and Lions coach Max Shoemaker was concerned entering Friday night's PIAA Class AA first round playoff game that District 9 champion Karns City would be able to exploit that again.
He just didn't figure the Gremlins would do it on special teams and defense.
Ridge finished with more than 400 yards in total offense - with Jacob Mock and Beau Bosch both rushing for more than 160 yards. However, Karns City scored on an 80-yard kickoff return in the third quarter and posted the only points of the fourth quarter on Christian Turner's 6-yard scamper with a popped-up fumble to edge the Lions, 35-29, on a blustery, snowy evening at Clarion University's Memorial Stadium.

Chestnut Ridge's Jacob Mock runs away from Cory Ritzert.
"We did pretty much what we wanted to do on the offensive side, except late when they stifled us a couple of times," Shoemaker said. "It was a couple of big kickoff returns and the fumble return. You can't afford to do that in a playoff game. That's why we lost.
"It was a great high school game. We just came up a couple of plays short. Give Karns City credit. They made one more play than we did."
That play came with 8:27 left. After being pinned deep in its own end by a punt, Ridge had to try to convert a third-and-5 without Bosch, who was shaken up on the previous play. Karns City's Adam Whited hit Ridge backup quarterback J.D. Weyandt as he tried to pitch on the option. The ball instead came down in the arms of Turner at the 6, and he bowled into the end zone to break a 29-29 tie in what had been an offensive slugfest to that point.
"I just saw that ball go up in the air, and I just went for it," Turner said. "Our line kind of got it together and got a great push. That's what pulled it out for us."
While Karns City improved to 10-3 and will get to face WPIAL champion Aliquippa next week, Ridge finished the year 6-6. The Lions were sidelined despite 169 yards on the ground by Mock and 165 by Bosch, on 29 and 23 carries, respectively. Much of their 360 yards rushing was gained by powering right at the Gremlins.
Mock scored on runs of 10,13 and 10 yards.
"The key was just to run at them and do our best, and for our linemen to come off the ball. They eventually caught on in the second half," Mock said. "We were excited. We were trying to go for the big upset. I think we proved we were better than what we were, and that the Chestnut Ridge organization was better than everybody thought."
Karns City only ran one play from scrimmage in the third quarter but managed to go into the final 12 minutes tied because of Matt Conto's 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Ridge had a chance to take the lead in the closing minute of the third quarter, but Sean VanMeter's 36-yard field goal was partially blocked.
Conto also had a 66-yard kickoff return in the first half to set up Whited's 20-yard touchdown jaunt. Karns City won even though it was outgained, 409-286.
"We needed that. We said we needed something to happen on special teams tonight," Karns City coach Ed Conto said. "There were a lot of opportunities there when either team could quit, and neither team did."
Ridge had a last gasp after recovering a KC fumble at its own 17 with 2:06 left. After driving to the Gremlin 35, though, Dakota Mohney picked off a desperation pass by Weyant with Bosch, who had returned to the game, moved to wideout.
"My heart sank at first [after the fumble return for a touchdown], but then I looked at the clock, and we still had a chance," Mock said.
The teams combined to 451 yards in the first half. Mock scored on runs of 10 and 13 yards, then Bosch gave the Lions a 21-17 lead on a 2-yard dive with 3:40 left in the second quarter. Mohney, though, spun and broke tackles on a 33-yard run less than two minutes later to put Karns City back in front, and Ridge ran out of time as it drove into Gremlins territory just before the intermission.
Bosch had 124 yards rushing in the first half, while Mock reached the 1,000-yard mark for the season in the second quarter and entered the third quarter with 87 yards.
This was the third game the Lions lost this season by six points or fewer. Mock is one of five offensive starters Shoemaker will graduate. Ridge, which was making its first PIAA playoff appearance, started six underclassmen on defense, as well. Bosch, also a 1,000-yard rusher, will lead a strong group of returnees.
"I couldn't be more proud of a group for just accepting things. They were a fun group to work with because they liked the game and they liked each other," Shoemaker said. "They weren't the most talented. They lacked speed. But, with their blue-collar mentality, we did what we could."

Out since straining his right flexor tendon on July 22 in a win over Washington, Jason Grilli has been itching to get back on the mound as the Pittsburgh Pirates closer.
On Saturday evening before 6,595 fans at PNG Field, Grilli took a step toward returning to the Pirates as he started for the Curve against the Akron Aeros, who went on to 9-0 romp over the home team.
With a 20-pitch, one-inning limit, he threw 13 pitches, including nine for strikes, gave up a hit to Aeros leadoff hitter Tyler Naquin and struck out one. Grilli didn't know what his velocity was, but he guessed he was throwing in the low 90s.
"That's about what you hope for in an inning," Grilli said after leaving the mound. "You want to make it short and sweet. I wasn't so much concerned about velocity because I just wanted to throw my pitches andhave my command, which was there, especially with my breaking pitch. I can add a little bit more. It's like you never run out of weights in a weight room.
"My arm strength is there, I can tell myself, despite what a radar gun might say. Getting back into it right now, my focus right now is just commanding the strike zone as opposed to throwing as hard as I can.
"It felt great. It felt good to be back on the hill and making forward progress as I have. I'm just excited that I'm another step closer. The ball has been coming out of my hand great. I haven't had one setback, so I'm really pleased with the effort and workload that I've put in."
Pirates fans are used to seeing Grilli enter the game in the ninth inning, not in the first. Grilli said it was a "weird" feeling starting on Saturday, which he hasn't done in awhile.
"I've done everything from the front to the back. I like where I'm at in the back end of it," he said. "Starting is no joke, and we've got a lot of good horses in the front. I'll just stick to what I'm good at right now."
"He threw the ball very well," Curve manager Carlos Garcia said. "He threw the fastball. He threw the breaking ball. I don't think he's where he wanted to be, but there are some signs that he's going in that direction."
He'll likely pitch again on Monday in the season finale for the Curve, and then there will be discussions about what to do from there.
"I'm trying to get back as fast as possible," he said. "Every game up top is a big series and I want to be a part of it, but I want to make sure that I'm not selfish and not rushing myself. I want to be the guy that I was prior to my injury."
Needless to say, Grilli wants to get back with the Pirates and try to help them as they duke it out with the St. Louis Cardinals for the Central Division title.
"It's not fun to watch [while being out], especially when we have pennant race going on," Grilli said. "The fans of Pittsburgh in this area and this whole state are going nuts right now, so I definitely want to be a part of that."
Mark Melancon has been pitching in his place as the Pirates closer, and Grilli has liked what he's seen from him and the rest of the Shark Tank.
"Those guys are doing just as well as they have as when I was there," Grilli said. "I'm proud that they've been carrying the torch and doing their job. It's a relay race. Sometimes the closer gets a lot of the glory, as opposed to some of the guys who are doing the work in the middle. I know that because I've done that part before."
Another former Pirate, catcher Tony Sanchez, went 1-for-4 for the second straight game since he was optioned to the Curve.
The Curve (62-78), meanwhile, were down 1-0 going into the sixth, when the Aeros scored five runs on David Bromberg, including three home runs by Carlos Moncrief, Matt Lawson and Adam Abraham. Bromberg (6-12) pitched five innings in relief of Grilli.
"Bromberg is definitely a guy who competes a lot," Garcia said. "In that particular inning, he walked three guys. When you walk three guys, that doesn't help. He was leaving the ball up, and when you leave the ball up, you're going to get hurt."
Subhd: Three players promoted to Indy
Bromberg is among three Curve players who have been promoted to AAA Indianapolis. Outfielder Gregory Polanco and pitcher Zack Thorton have also been promoted to Indy.
"They're going from a last-place team to a first-place team," Garcia said, "so hopefully they will be able to enjoy their stay over in Indianapolis."
Game recap
Key player: Aeros designated hitter Adam Abraham with a home run, two RBIs and scored three runs.
Key play: Aeros Matt Lawson hit a two-run home run in a five-run sixth.
Key stat: The Curve were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and left eight on.
How they scored
Top 5th: Adam Abraham walked, scored on a force out.
Top 6th: Tyrler Holt singles, scores on a Carlos Moncrief home run. Jesus Aguilar singles, scores on a Lawson home run. Abraham hits a home run.
Top 8th: Lawson reaches on Adalberto Santos throwing error. Abraham walks. Both score on Ronny Rodriguez home run.

Winds, storms prompt flight cancellations at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport staff is advising that airlines operating at that airport have cancelled about 100 departures Monday because of bothersome weather.
"The National Weather Service has issued an Airport Weather Warning for DFW for wind gusts in excess of 35 knots, or 40MPH," DFW spokesman Dave Magaña said via email. "Crosswinds such as these could require the FAA to limit air traffic at DFW to two diagonal runways, rather than the Airport's full complement of seven runways."
Around 2:30 p.m. Monday, we find about 107 cancelled departures, including 56 by American Eagle, 37 by American Airlines and 14 by ExpressJet. Nearly half – 49 – were scheduled for Texas cities.
The Texas Panhandle and parts of Oklahoma are under blizzard warnings for this afternoon and/or evening, and we note that the American/American Eagle cancellations include eight flights to Amarillo, nine to Lubbock and four to Oklahoma City.
Various airlines are offering flexibility for travelers whose trips may be disrupted by winter weather.
UPDATE, 3:30 p.m.: It appears Southwest Airlines has canceled 15 flights out of Dallas Love Field, including five to Lubbock and five to Amarillo.
It appears that all departures are being canceled Monday at Lubbock, and all but a few flights at Amarillo (and none had departed as of mid-afternoon).

Great clutch
By Practical
from Wayne, NJ
I bought this wallet because of the clutch appeal. It works great for me since I have my cash and cc cards in the small zippered compartment and in the clutch can carry my glucose meter and cell phone. I have all I need without the bulky purse. I've also attached the lanyard key chain to it to carry around my wrist.The one thing this wallet is missing is a small zipper for change. I wish the stash pocket was instead zippered to hold coins. I was using a wallet set up pretty much like this one except it didn't have the clutch area. But did have the zippered coin. I used that wallet for many years and wanted one similar that also had the extra room to carry my glucose meter which this one now does. Even though I don't know what to do with my change, I love it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The UBISERVE-project (Research on Future Ubiquitous Services and Applications) is a joint research effort dedicated to advance research in the field of ubiquitous services. The project focuses on future services building on mobile communication systems and services. Within this Project, our aim in Work Package 4 is to develop an overall overlay architecture providing a rich set of service facilitators for mobile users of wireless convergence devices that contain hardware capabilities to accurately pinpoint their locations, possess multiple wireless interfaces and have large storage capacities. The architecture will also support contextually aware self-organising devices creating an on-demand, dynamic overlay, capable of supporting multipath, transport-independent communication among users and devices. Thus useful information needs to be gleaned from service providers, network operators, infrastructure, sensors and devices in the immediate operating environment. This State of the Art document is the first project document which analyses the key enabling technologies for service overlays, platforms, frameworks and communication mechanisms for creating such architectures that would prove indispensable in the creation of future services. In short, the following questions are examined: • What kinds of service overlays exist today? • How are service overlays relevant towards services in wireless devices? • What communication technologies can we expect future services to use? • What are the dominant development platforms for smartphone applications?

Required Courses 7 credit hours
Cultural Anthropology: People and CultureANT 214
This course is designed to give you a better understanding of yourself as a human being and of the world in which you live. Through the course you will be introduced to some new and different ways of viewing the world while learning about human cultural diversity. You will learn about a number of peoples from a variety of places and times and you will also learn to take a critical look at your own society and culture. You will become more aware of what culture is, how it has shaped us, and how we can change it. The course will focus on what makes cultural anthropology a distinct discipline in terms of perspective, methodology, and subject matter, and it will consider what insights the discipline has to offer. You will be introduced to some of the topics and issues that have traditionally been of concern to cultural anthropologists and you will learn what role cultural anthropology plays in our ever-changing world.
Biological Anthropology (Physical Anthropology)ANT 216
Have you ever wondered how crime scene investigators (CSI) can determine, from skeletal fragments, the sex, age, or ethnic identity of a murder victim? Have you ever thought about how unique humans really are? Do you want to know why we are so attracted to babies and so fascinated with the lives of the rich and famous? Are you curious about how human beings have changed over time or how different the human ÒracesÓ really are? Through class discussion and laboratory exercises, we will explore these questions and more. You will learn about human genetics and human variation, how humans compare to the nonhuman primates, what our early ancestors were like, and how culture and biology have interacted and continue to interact to shape humankind. You will also learn basic techniques used by biological and forensic anthropologists as they evaluate data in order to solve problems. This course is a foundation course for advanced study in forensic and other branches of biological anthropology. Biological anthropology is also a recommended lab science course for students in any major, as it will help you to understand better why we humans are the way we are.
Elective Course Choices 12 credit hours
Archaeology: People in the PastANT 218
Have you ever wondered what people like Indiana Jones really do? This course will offer you a basic introduction to the scope and concerns of archaeology, a deeper understanding of the human past, and a greater sensitivity to issues surrounding the reconstruction and representation of that past. The course will begin with a review of the history of the discipline and of the archaeological research process, then proceed to an overview of select aspects of human prehistory and of the archaeology of the United States. In doing so, some of the most famous archaeological discoveries will be covered, including Pompeii and King TutÕs tomb, and also more local and contemporary discoveries such as New York CityÕs African Burial Ground and BlackbeardÕs Queen AnneÕs Revenge. Over the semester, you will participate in several activities dealing with the analysis of material culture and you will gain practice in critically analyzing public presentations of archaeological research.
Anthropology of DeathANT 240
Do you cry, sing, or laugh in the face of death? Do you burn, bury, or bottle the dead? Who among the dead is remembered, forgotten, and why? Is death the end of life, part of living, or the way to eternal life? The Anthropology of Death will provide you with a broad introductory survey of some of the diversity of behavior and beliefs concerning this most common and most significant of human experiences, death. The course will focus on the different understandings and meanings of death in different cultures in the past and the present, drawing mostly on examples from cultural anthropology and archaeology. Examples will be drawn from all over the world though a special emphasis will be placed on death in the U.S. The course will also address how death has been researched and theorized by cultural anthropologists and archaeologists, and practitioners in related fields. Finally, the course will address some key political issues surrounding death, burials, and memorials, including organ donation, NAGPRA, and the memorialization of 9/11.
Special TopicsANT 295/395/495
This course provides an introduction to the history and cultures of Hispanic/Latino communities in the United States from the first Spanish explorations and settlements to the present. The course will provide an overview of the diversity of Hispanic/Latino groups and experiences, and will explore how Hispanics/Latinos have become such a significant part of the U.S. society and culture. The course will focus particularly on the continuities and connections of culture that are maintained by and shape Hispanics/Latinos in the U.S. The course will also address a variety of issues relevant to Hispanics/Latinos, including immigration, bilingualism, and political representation. Students will learn about Hispanics/Latinos through readings across the disciplines, including anthropology, history, literature, film and art.
Hispanic Voices in the United StatesANT 305
An introduction to the history and cultures of Hispanic communities in the United States from the first Spanish explorations and settlements to the present through the use of literary texts, films, and other art forms.
Globalization: People and CultureANT 315
Globalization is one of the key concepts of our ageÑa term often used but little understood. Globalization is generally characterized by the increasing interconnectedness of economic, political, and cultural phenomena. While many of these connections are new, their roots lie deeper in history. These connections have come to shape the lives of virtually all of the worldÕs peoples, often in intimate ways. Understanding globalization is central to understanding life today, including such diverse phenomena as Bollywood in North Carolina, McDonaldÕs in Hong Kong, iPad production in China, and coffee growing in Guatemala. In order to be intelligent and compassionate actors in our contemporary world, it is important to explore the realities of globalization and consider its promise and peril. This course will do so primarily through the lens of anthropology, but will also draw upon insights and examples from history and other disciplines as well. The course will consider what globalization is today, how it developed over history, and what its effects are. Students will look at why some people are excited about globalization while others resist it. They will consider how globalization affects our politics, our economics, and our culture, addressing such diverse topics as terrorism, immigration, religious fundamentalism, and the environment, as well as McDonaldÕs, Disney, smart phones, and hip-hop culture.
American Ethnic RelationsANT 368
Where did your ancestors come from? How did they shape America? What is AmericaÐa melting pot, mosaic, or unequal mix? This course examines the complex dynamics of race and ethnicity in the United States in the present and the past. Through this course you will better understand the histories and social and cultural characteristics of different racial and ethnic groups, and the ongoing politics of racial and ethnic relations. We will explore some of the most interesting and controversial issues in American public discourse, including immigration policy, affirmative action, assimilation, and diversity in education. We will explore these subjects through readings across the disciplines as well as through critical reflection on our own experiences. Although an upper-level course tied to the social sciences and humanities, the content of this course is important for majors in all fields interested in gaining a better understanding of AmericaÕs diversity.
The Female of the Species: A Biocultural, Anthropological PerspectiveANT 370
William Peace University is dedicated to helping women develop to their fullest potential. But what does it mean to be a human female? To fully understand the human femaleÐin terms of their various roles and physical features across culturesÐan evolutionary, cross-cultural view is needed: How are we like, unlike other mammals and, most especially, our nonhuman primate relatives? What happened in the course of evolution to make us the way we are? Is the ÒmotherÓ role instinctual? Does itÐ and our other rolesÐvary across cultures today, and, if so, what factors (biological and cultural) might be responsible for this variation? This course gives students a chance to explore these questions through readings, videos, and discussions in which we examine data from nonhuman primates, the fossil record, archaeological remains of past human societies, and ethnographic research on recent and contemporary human societies. We also examine contemporary issues, such as social inequality, female infanticide, arranged marriages, genital mutilation, and ÒhonorÓ murder, which affect millions of women in various parts of the world. No matter your major, this course will allow you to better understand yourself and your sistersÐno matter where they liveÐas well as the problems women face in the world today.
India: Past and PresentANT 380
India is a place of paradoxes: a land of great riches and grinding poverty; a land of indescribable beauty and unmentionable horrors; a land of GandhiÕs nonviolence and nuclear weapons; a land where the past and the present regularly collide and live in harmony. India is the worldÕs biggest democracy and is poised to be one of the great powers of the 21st century. To understand our contemporary world and where it is headed, it is essential that we understand India. In this course we will explore both the past and the present of India, focusing on its historical social and cultural diversity, and the issues its people confront today. We will pay particular attention to contemporary issues of nationalism, gender, communalism, and globalization, with a special focus on Indian popular culture and the Indian diaspora.
Directed StudyANT 392/492
A course of study addressing a specific topic or problem of interest to a student, designed collaboratively by the student and faculty member(s), and resulting in a paper, report, critiqued performance or production, or other assessable evidence of value added to the studentÕs educational experience.

No more than six (6) semester hours toward the baccalaureate degree can consist of directed study credit.
Archaeological FieldworkANT 450
This course offers students the opportunity to learn more about the field of archaeology through participation in a summer field school. Through the field school students will develop and practice basic methods of archaeological field research. They will gain experience in conducting archaeological survey and excavation and also develop skills in such areas as mapping, stratigraphic interpretation, the analysis of cultural materials, and data processing. Through additional readings and a variety of guest speakers, students will also learn about the culture and history of the area being investigated, as well as various specializations and career paths within archaeology. As part of the field school, students will also be involved in helping to make our research more public by assisting volunteers and presenting our work to site visitors, in order to promote the preservation of archaeological sites and the sharing of archaeological knowledge. The course will be held for three to four weeks during the summer at a local archaeological site.

"Wow, who'd have thought adding heaps of flash games and a whole new forum code would increase traffic on an already strained server?"
It comes down more to there being so many threads with thousands and thousands of posts in them which puts a constant strain on the database. As I developed all the database work around the flash games, I was able to control that better, and consider load, etc on that particular database.
Management putting cameras everywhere at work
Forever 63* at the SCG
Just put up a bit of a show for the management.
I was cozying upto this girl, and things got very steamy. And we moved into the empty corridor in our office and started making out. Suddenly, my eyes noticed the bloody camera on the top of the door staring at us. Boy, I got a shiver so huge that I woke up in a cold sweat in my bed. Thank god, it was just a DREAM!!
The next day I went to office, this girl came and spoke to me, and am like WTF. She notices my discomfort and asked me why. I managed to stave off the temptation thanks to my premonition really.
Oh, haha.
Cracked myself up there.
This forum seemingly always being down.
Yeah, AWTA.
I think we can make exceptions for some people that might think that way, tbh.
No names.
I've asked for an ETA on the server upgrade too. Trust me, there's no one who this annoys more than me, and I'm keeping on top of it as best I can. I would really hope that by mid week, everything should be running faster than ever before when the upgrade is completed.
I'll certainly keep everyone updated via that thread in the Downtime forum, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions over MSN that anyone may have.

Outstanding online volunteers honoured
05 December 2006
Bonn, Germany: Every year, the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme and its Online Volunteering (OV) service honour ten exceptional women and men who have made an exemplary impact on human development by sharing their expertise over the Internet and by demonstrating their commitment to volunteering. The winners of the "Online Volunteer of the Year" award for 2006 were announced today.
The online volunteers were selected on the basis of their enthusiasm, personal commitment, creativity and impact on the work of development organizations in their effort to reach the Millennium Development Goals. These volunteers are excellent examples of how citizens can, by volunteering online, participate in the activities of development organizations worldwide. They showcase online volunteering as a highly effective way of mobilizing action towards sustainable human development.
The winners were chosen by a jury that included UNV and UNDP representatives from country offices and headquarters as well as external partners: the Guinea Bissau Platform for NGOs, PLACON-GB, and the Government of Ireland's programme of assistance to developing countries, Irish Aid.
The online volunteers, from a diversity of countries and backgrounds, have all made a remarkable and significant impact. They have:
The Online Volunteers of the Year 2006, their nationality, and host organizations are:
Congratulating the winners, UNV Executive Coordinator Ad de Raad commended the online volunteers' admirable commitment and stressed the importance of volunteerism as an essential component of the global engagement to meet the Millennium Development Goals. "Achieving the MDGs will require the participation of millions of citizens, and volunteerism helps to develop this network for global action," he said.
Since its launch in 2000, the Online Volunteering service has provided the opportunity for more than 900 development organizations to benefit from the talents and dedication of over 9,000 online volunteers.
"Online volunteering is all about the small steps taken by each volunteer. That is what makes big changes," says OV of the Year Raul Alberto Caceres from Colombia. "No matter how much time you have, or your level of skill, or where you are in the world; all that is needed to be able to make a difference is an Internet connection and the desire to help."

Windows Phone 7.7 might come to current WP handsets instead of Apollo
0. phoneArena 06 Jun 2012, 09:04 posted on
Right when the scales started tipping in favor of current Windows Phone devices potentially getting an update to WP8, we have the German subsidiary of Business Week suggesting that Microsoft's plans are a bit different. According to the media's source, an update is indeed coming to these smartphones, but Windows Phone 8 is not it. Instead, current WP handsets will supposedly get Windows Phone version 7.7 or 7.6, which is going to be more of a "feature update" that will only introduce certain WP8 features...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

doesnt that confirm the rumor that current phones WILL update but not have the full experience?

It's like announcing "We now present iPhone 4(s)" and everyone is like FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
5. rsiders (Posts: 913; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
If this MIGHT be true, I wouldn't be so disappointed as a second generation Windows Phone owner. Getting as many great features in an update as opposed to getting none at all is more than fair. Still hoping for Apollo though. Anticipation!
6. vvelez5 (Posts: 623; Member since: 29 Jan 2011)
I'm done with the rumors of "it will" or "it won't" especially from sources like a subsidiary of Business Week.
15. GJanee (Posts: 214; Member since: 29 Jun 2011)
totally agreed. it's getting kinda ridiculous and annoying that every other day some kind of nonsense rumor is getting pumped up by tech sites. can't they just wait for official confirmations instead of starting to speculate... credibility!!

As long as we're getting more features, it doesn't matter if we don't get all of Apollo. Just as long as current devices aren't being left out in the cold.
9. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
I will wait for the announcement, and then see what features come. Like a couple of the other posters on here (nwright94, rsiders, tigermcm), I am fine with an update that brings as much Apollo goodness to my Focus S as my device can handle and still gives me the performance I am used to.
It does mystify me as to why manufacturers didn't include dual core processors for second Gen WP's, though. Remember: there were minimum standards imposed by Microsoft, not all encompassing standards. Hopefully, that will be another trend with WP 8 devices. Pushing the limit on the hardware and truly providing a two year safe device.

why do i find this funny? this IS fragmentation
13. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
oh the iRONY can I say welcome to fragmentation now? I mean its not the first time a phone does not get updates.... Its just a bad thing when its android powered
20. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
aah Poetic Justice ;)
27. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
People LOVE to toss the word fragmentation around, don't they?
If EVERY 2nd generation WP gets EVERY Apollo feature that the build and processor can handle, how is that the horrible "F" word? If every 1st generation WP got 2 complete updates, and maybe a third with this one, how is that the horrible "F" word? More importantly, why do Android owners want WP owners to not get these updates, or belittle them if they are given????
The short history of WP is very good, certainly not perfect but very good, in support across the board and with all their devices. This will be too. I have very little doubt that 90% or greater of the WP8 upgrade will make their way to the vast majority of WP owners. That will be a knock it out of the park success, and something Microsoft can rightly brag about.
And Android owners will still have a ton of great things to hang their hats on, and still have some problems. Nothing to do with MS, so relax.

I see what you did there ;)
17. edrich (Posts: 27; Member since: 02 Jan 2012)
If this turns out to be what happens, I don't mind this - as long as some missing features from 7.5 are included and the nice features from Apollo filters down it's all good. I don't need a dual core if the single core does the job as well as it does now. If Bluetooth file transfer can be accomodated, maybe a couple of tweaks to the task manager, a few call history improvements, maybe easy to use tone profiles and a camera setting update and I'll be happy. Getting a Lumia 900 end of the month either way
18. QinEmpire (Posts: 145; Member since: 16 May 2012)
At least we have new features unlike the fragmentated Android that might not even get any update at all.
19. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
aah that's where you're wrong... see WinTrolls bashing the OG sgs for not getting ICS, but we got the feature pack update. SOOO.... once again... FRAGMENTATION!!!
21. QinEmpire (Posts: 145; Member since: 16 May 2012)
Where's the update for Samsung galaxy w, Samsung jet, HTC desire, many many other LG/Lenovo/ Huawei/ZTE update? No? Haha fail

Where's the WP7.5 (Mango) for Nokia 610? that was just released recently *gasp*
oh, and not to mention others like HD2, older Omnias etc... where's their update?
24. SleepingOz (unregistered)
He's more obsessed with Android than his beloved WP. He couldn't help mentioning Android, even on WP articles.
25. GJanee (Posts: 214; Member since: 29 Jun 2011)
dude, don't be ridiculously stupid. lumia 610 comes with 7.5 out of the box, all omnias were updated to it waaay back in summer 2011.
and the HD2 is NOT a WP device. pls, if you want to act like a total moron, do it OFF the internet, between the four walls of your room. kthxbye. :)
28. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
How is it not a WP device?, it is a windows mobile device, which preceded WP7, in the same way that Gingerbread preceded ICS, so if the older OMNIA (those on WM), and HD2 didn't get WP7, he has no right to bash on phones that did not get ICS.
also, 610 comes with Tango, which is not Mango.

Lmao serious u guys with your fragmentation is really getting anoying. Yes Android does have the most fragmentation i know that cause i develop for android. So yes it does Sux. thats why i am leaving android development. Who know WP might even also get fragmentation cause there is yet again alot of diffrent phone makers that uses WP so all the apps must be developed accordingly to the phone maker and WP. The only Os that doesnt have some much fragmentation is IOS from apple cause they find away to keep it standerd for their phones as much as what they can. So if u guys wanna go on about fragmentation flame wars i sugest u throw ur pc, ur laptop, ur tablet and ur Smart Phone away cause all of them has fragmentation. Stop using the development side as a excuse none of out developers have millions of bucks to buy every phone and to develop for each make of phone. If u guys think u can do better go ahead and make a OS for the smart phones and see how far u can get.

wow what a bummer however if it is true it does make sense because Windows Phone 8 will use dual core CPU's and high def screens which by themselves must have special chipsets to run them which requires different programming code to control them , Windows 7.5 mango smartphones are all Single core and do not use high def screens thus the computer code to run them is different less complex.but I still think a single core CPU set up can run windows 8 because Windows 8 release preview for desktop computers runs my single core Pentium 4 desktop computer without any hick ups. I like it better then windows 7 because I have an extra computer screen the metro start screen plus I have my trusty old desktop screen to use non metro apps. I have learned to work with both screens without a worry.
29. Credo (Posts: 748; Member since: 19 Apr 2012)
yesss, this is good news, better then nothing, all of those features in wp 7.?? :)
30. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
This just like with windows mobile 6.1 before, they only updated it till 6.5 but not with windows phone 7 anymore. Microsoft, if you keep this up, I will be more discouraged to get a windows phone. For once, think about what the consumers want(an update for their newly bought phone)

I'm mostly concerned Tmo will not be getting anything coming this fall/winter.
32. tward291 (Posts: 559; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
how is this different than any other platform. did the sensation get all the goodies of ics no did the Iphone 4 get all the goodies no so I don't see how this is any different
33. mariosraptor (Posts: 125; Member since: 15 Mar 2012)
if this is true it is not really good in my opinion. Nokia Lumia 900 just started selling in Greece and someone that will spend 600 euros for a phone that will not get the latest update is as good as an idiot.
i guess that this is also the reason that WP7 is not selling at all here.
34. Credo (Posts: 748; Member since: 19 Apr 2012)
Amazon Germany sells it for 505 euro's :) a lot cheaper, at the stores in Belgium its also priced at 600 euro :)
