text: Women's Basketball Holds Off Mercer for a 72-60 Win January 17, 2014 Freshman Amber Porter led five Hatters in double figures with 15 points as Stetson defeated host Mercer 72-60 in an Atlantic Sun Conference game Thursday night at Hawkins Arena. A strong second half effort on the boards helped lift the Hatters (11-5, 3-1 A-Sun) to their third win in a row and their eighth victory in their last 10 games. The Bears fell to 9-7, 2-3. "It was a real important win," said Cherisse Burris, who finished with 12 points, seven rebounds, and a key steal late in the second half. "We need to get our intensity up and play with more confidence on the road, and a win like this will help." Stetson led 37-33 at halftime, despite Mercer shooting 48.5% from the floor and holding 23-18 advantage on the boards. The Hatters benefitted from 23 points by their freshman, including 10 by Brianti Saunders and six by Stacia Allen. "I didn't think we came out with a lot of energy in the first half," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "We had some open shots that didn't fall for us. (Brianti) was hitting in the first half which kind of saved us, and then Stacia came off the bench and hit a couple of threes that also helped us. "We came out with a lot more energy in the second half, we got stops, and we rebounded the ball very well," Bria added. "We got on the offensive glass. We got them to turn it over a couple of times and converted a couple of easy baskets." A quick 6-0 run to start the second half put Stetson ahead 43-33, but Mercer closed the gap to 45-40 at the 16-minute mark. A few minutes later Myeisha Hall picked off a Mercer pass and converted a breakaway lay-up to give Stetson a nine point lead. Hall then grabbed three offensive rebounds over the next couple minutes which turned into five second chance points. "When Myeisha started hitting the glass, everybody fed off it," Bria said. "I thought (Cherisse) was a monster in the second half. Then Sasha got in there as well. We had a lot of offensive rebounds, and that's what we needed. We weren't making a lot of the outside shots, so we needed to get on the offensive glass. I think that was the difference in the game." Mercer continued to hang close and cut the deficit to 58-55 with 8:04 to play. That's when Stetson went on a 9-0 run to finally generate some breathing room. Sims had an offensive putback and Jama Sharp hit a three-pointer from the left wing to highlight the run. Burris would later help ice the game by picking the pocket of Teanna Robinson after the Mercer center grabbed a defensive rebound. Robinson then fouled out when Burris quickly took the ball to basket. "I was just trying to be aggressive," Burris said. "I knew she had the ball but she brought it down, so I just grabbed it and tried to make it lay-up." The Hatters finished with 49 rebounds in the game, including 18 on the offensive end. Sharp (11 points), Saunders (10 points) and Sims (10 points) joined Porter and Burris in double figures in scoring. Sims also had nine rebounds and became the fifth player in school history to surpass 1400 career points with a free throw early in the first half. Stetson improved to 12-1 at Hawkins Arena over the past four seasons, which included championship runs in the 2011 and 2013 Atlantic Sun Tournaments. Mercer will leave the Atlantic Sun Conference next season. "We do love coming here, we have some great memories here, and it is a special place for us," Bria said. The Hatters will go for their fourth win a row at Kennesaw State Saturday afternoon. Tip-off is slated for 2 p.m. in game broadcast on ESPN3.Print Friendly Version More Headlines

Ford's Fusion has been a moderate success for the company in the mid-size sedan category. While the Fusion doesn't have the sales numbers to put it toe-to-toe with the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Nissan Altima, the vehicle is nonetheless a competent entry in one of the most fiercely contested auto segments in North America.
Now that the Fusion has been on the market for a few years, Ford is ready to give the vehicle a makeover. Stylistically, the vehicle received new front and rear fascias, although the only press shot provided by Ford is of the vehicle's dramatic new front.
The new front end styling seems to merge the current three-bar grill prominent with Ford's current North American styling theme with the more organic shapes found on the European market Mondeo, Ka, and Fiesta (as evidenced by the fog lamp shapes and lower air dam). The hood also features a prominent "power bulge" to accentuate the changes under hood.
When it comes to the powertrain, Ford is introducing a new 175 HP 2.5-liter inline-4 engine -- also available in the all-new Mazda6 and upcoming second generation Mazda3 -- which replaces the old 2.3 liter engine. Ford also massaged the 3.0-liter V6 to produce 240 HP (up 19HP from before). The engine is also capable of running on E85.
For those that crave even more power, the corporate 3.5-liter V6 engine is also available with 263 HP on tap. The 3.5-liter V6 is also used in the Ford Edge and Ford Flex crossovers.
All three of the above engines will be paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
The most interesting news about the new Fusion, however, is that a new hybrid version of the vehicle is in the works. The new Fusion Hybrid will use the 2.5-liter inline-4 and a heavily revamped version of the hybrid system used in the current Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner. Ford managed to reduce the number of cells used in the battery pack by 20 percent while at the same time boosted the power output by each individual cell by 20 percent.
The new NiMH battery pack is now 30 percent smaller than the one featured in the Escape/Mariner Hybrids and weighs 23 percent less. The reduced dimensions and weight also means that the battery pack no longer requires its own A/C unit to stay cool which also saves weight.
Ford boosted the power generated by the electric motor from 70 kW to 93 kW, while generator output rose from 45 kW to 70 kW. As a result, the new Fusion Hybrid can now reach speed of up to 47 MPH on battery power alone -- this is up from 24 MPH on the Escape/Mariner Hybrids.
Best of all, the significant improvements to the hybrid powertrain will translate into big mileage gains for drivers. Ford says that the Fusion Hybrid will achieve 5 MPG better EPA ratings in the city than the Toyota Camry Hybrid (EPA rated 33 MPG city).
Ford has high hopes for its reinvigorated midsize offering, and the Fusion Hybrid most certainly will be leading its efforts.
quote: However, your comment about the GTO being an Opel is off base. It's a direct Holden Monaro with Pontiac "look at me cladding". Even though the styling is cavalier bland...
quote: The Pontiac GTO was relaunched in the United States in 2004, based on the Holden Monaro's V platform. The Monaro is a 2 door coupe variant of the Australian developed VT/VX Holden Commodore. The Commodore was in turn developed by enlarging the European designed 1994 Opel Omega B, which was marketed in its original form in the U.S. from 1997 to 2001 as the Cadillac Catera. The revival was prompted by former GM chairman Bob Lutz,[1] who drove a Holden Monaro while on a business trip in Australia.
quote: This is why the new Camaro will fail just like the old F body ones did.
quote: The old F-bodies were incredible bargains. They sold far more of them than Vettes.
quote: Local Dodge dealerships have Challengers sitting on the lots!
quote: But the vettes are just soooooo much better car in every way. Worth every penny of the price difference.
quote: Uhhh the reason the F bodies were boxed was because of lack of sales.
quote: EVERY 'Vette that rolled off the lines were sold. The F bodies , year after year, were amassing large unsold surpluses.

If all goes according to plan, we will finally get to see NFL football players put on their uniforms—well, practice jerseys for now—in just a few short week(s) time.
The NFL and NFLPA are finally closing in on an agreement for a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement as both sides seem to settling on the fact that this lockout can no longer go on, and once ratified, the lockout will be lifted and free agency will commence.
And what a free-agency period it will be.
Teams will have 72-hour time frame to re-sign their own restricted free agents before the full market opens, and once that happens we'll see a flurry of activity in the following week that typically takes months to complete.
Big names like Nnamdi Asomugha, DeAngelo Williams, Sidney Rice and Antonio Cromartie could all be wearing new uniforms next season, and the pursuit for their services will not take long at all.
The trade market will also open up, and Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Kevin Kolb will be the top target there.
We know that it has been a while and some of you may have even forgotten which players are free agents and which players aren't—Chad Ochocinco is not a free agent, yet Terrell Owens is—but we can help you get back into the swing of things pretty quickly.
Every team's season starts in pursuit of a Super Bowl ring—if you are not playing to win, then there is no point in playing at all, and that journey begins now, in free agency and training camp.
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are the defending world champions, but every team in the league is now hunting them, and we'll be here to track all the progress teams make in their quest to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in February.

With one Kobe Bryant flick of the wrist, the Sacramento Kings were played out of California's capital in very fitting fashion.
Bryant hit a game-tying three-pointer in the waning moments of the fourth quarter of Wednesday night's game (an eventual 116-108 overtime victory) to demoralize and all but end the Kings' stay in Sacramento.
As Sacramento Bee writer Jason Jones noted in Thursday morning's edition, "Kobe Bryant was here for perhaps the most gut-wrenching moment in the history of the Sacramento Kings."
As of Thursday, that may no longer be the Los Angeles Lakers' epic Game 7 overtime victory in then-Arco Arena of the 2002 Western Conference Finals that still has Sacramento natives kicking tires. After a wild, emotional likely sendoff for the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, all eyes now turn to New York, where the Kings owners are meeting with the NBA's Board of Directors.
The Maloof brothers will make a presentation at 9:45 a.m. EST in New York, weighing the pros and cons of staying in Sacramento or bolting for Southern California to become the region's third NBA team.
George Maloof told the Bee on Thursday morning, "We're making a presentation today about what's good and bad about Sacramento and Anaheim. If the owners are comfortable with it, we'll take the next step. We'll put in an application on Monday if things are right."
Stay tuned for all the latest developments.

Hot Links: Love those Texas school-rule loopholes
Let's catch up on a couple of mind-bending education stories that you probably missed over the holiday weekend:
1. George Orwell would have appreciated this: Some students who failed the TAKS test are counted as passing for purposes of new school accountability rankings, Dallas Morning News reporters Holly Hacker and Jeffrey Weiss showed. Why? A formula predicts that these failers are likely to pass the next time. What if the prediction is wrong? No problem. The schools' rankings don't drop.
2. Charter schools are privately run, but we taxpayers finance them. So the government exercises fiscal oversight, right? Wrong, reports The Dallas Morning News' Matthew Haag. Onto that stage steps Imagine Schools, a nationwide charter school management company with a real estate program that some officials say hurts students. It's planning to expand into McKinney next year. State officials OK'd the move despite concerns that Imagine lacked non-profit status.

Wednesday, April 17, 2013
I'm a night owl. I'm also an early riser.
That combination doesn't bode well for a full night's sleep.
I even take something to help take the decision of going to bed out of my hands so I get some decent sleep and am marginally functional the next day. Even then I don't crawl into the sack until I absolutely have to, and often, I still fight the pull of Sleepy Time.
Lately, pushing that envelope has begun to cost me.
For example, a couple weeks ago I set myself on fire. Again.
It's not what you'd call an actual self-combusting, but more a barbecue.
When it's cold I don't like running the furnace to heat the entire 1500-square-foot house when I'm only occupying 100 or so square feet of it. So I turned on the electric space heater instead, following all instructed safety procedures in the heater's set up and operation manual.
When I climbed into bed I was a safe distance from the heater and had cleared the area around it of refuse, paper and clothing obstructions. I did, though, have it turned in my direction because I like feeling the flow of warm air. I get cold, snuggle up, turn on the heat, and get toasty warm.
This time I took toasty to a whole new level.
I was out cold and didn't move until I heard the sizzle of frying bacon.
Delicious, I thought, what's for breakfast?
Imagine my surprise when I realized what was for breakfast was ME.
I looked down and saw more than minor burns across my belly approaching the Second Degree variety. I was indeed sizzling. All that was missing was the skillet.
Thankfully, the temperatures have warmed up, but once again, I pushed the limit of a proper bedtime.
Last night I was in bed and writing the ending of Chapter 3 of my third novel "Kitty Hawk."
I used to write everything out longhand once upon a time because I love the way the written word looks on paper. There's something soothing about the process of writing with a good pen, in marginally decent and legible penmanship, on paper. I like the feel of the pen gliding across paper.
Writing longhand slows the flow of words out of my head to a trickle, giving them time to filter and flow together as opposed to a full-on flush when I'm typing. The last typing test I took timed out at 92 words per minute. While I can't maintain that pace on a tiny laptop keyboard, I can type fast and it stirs up my thoughts, and words, like a good strong cup of Café Bustelo. Café Bustelo is Cuban for liquid cocaine.
So I'm writing and I come upon the word preeminent.
I see it coming three or four words in advance as my pen skirts the page and I pause to think how the word is spelled, is it P-R-E-E or P-R-I-E?
I ponder it a moment, then proceed, thinking if I get it wrong the Spell Check red line notification of a spelling error will appear underneath the word to let me know which is correct.
When I finished writing out preeminent, I actually stopped, looked.
And waited.
No red line.
That's when I realized the Ambien had kicked in.
It's a good thing in this case the pen really wasn't mightier than the sword. It'd be mighty sharp, and trust me, I've done that, too.

Niagara-Wheatfield's Melissa Smith nailed what proved to be the winning basket with 1:30 left in the contest, then the Falcons turned up the defensive pressure to make stops down the stretch to advance to the Section VI Class AA final with a 50-47 upset over defending champion Lockport on Friday.
The Falcons took the lead early in the fourth before the Lady Lions rallied, then took the lead for good on a Smith three-pointer.
Lockport, The Buffalo News' No. 1-ranked large school, had three possessions in the final 17 seconds but couldn't convert. Rachel Pawlak scored a game-high 25 points for Niagara-Wheatfield, while Smith added 18.
It's been a week of satisfying wins for Niagara-Wheatfield. They were outscored by Lockport by a combined 49 points in two earlier games this season. Lockport beat the Falcons, 74-52, in mid-December and 61-34 back in January.
On Tuesday, Niagara-Wheatfield shocked Lancaster, 55-43, in the quarterfinals.
"We were able to defend Alexis Cheatham well with Smith and Rachel," Falcons coach Diane Fegatilli said. "We came up with some big defensive plays at the end and were able to pull it out."
Cheatham finished with 20 points, including four three-pointers, and Sara Franco added 18 for Lockport. Frontier nearly knocked off Lockport in the quarterfinals until the Lady Lions hit a runner and two free throws in the final seconds of a 38-34 win.
Elsewhere, in the New York State Association of Independent Schools, Immaculata advanced to the final against defending champion and No. 1 seeded Heckley after defeating Fieldston of the Bronx, 48-38. The final is at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The Bears jumped on Fieldston early by shooting a sizzling 65 percent in the first half. Immaculata was not deterred by Fieldston's huge frontline which featured two players standing 6-foot-3.
"We doubled down on their big kids and at one point we were up by 15 points," Bears assistant coach Joe Badaszewski said.
Taylor Heinold led the Bears with with 16 points, while Jordan Heinold finished with 13 points and 17 rebounds. RayAnn Call added eight assists.
In boys basketball today, the much anticipated Class AA rubber match between No. 1 Jamestown and No. 2 Niagara Falls will be held at 8:15 tonight at Buffalo State. Jamestown won in 2011 and Niagara Falls captured the title in 2012.
HOCKEY: In the CISAA final, Nichols goalie Anthony Tiradassi had 33 saves but the Vikings couldn't put away St. Andrews College (Ont.), which beat Nichols, 2-1, in overtime in Game One. Nick Smith scored the lone goal for Nichols.

The ban comes after several Las Vegas insiders claimed that the heiress might be blackballed from nightclubs. After the car in which she was riding was stopped, Hilton, 29, was taken inside the Wynn, where it was allegedly discovered that she had cocaine in her purse.
Coinciding with the ban, Wynn Las Vegas also announced in a vague statement that Hilton's boyfriend, nightclub executive Cy Waits, has been "separated from the company and is free to pursue other interests." No further comment or details was provided.
Waits, 34, was stopped by police officers Friday night when they smelled marijuana wafting from the car window. According to a Waits's arrest report, also released Wednesday, he failed a sobriety test.
Charges have yet to be filed against Waits, the Clark County Attorney's office said. Just days before his arrest, Waits was recently promoted to Co-Chief of Nightlife Operations at Wynn Las Vegas and Encore.
Hilton and Waits have been dating since June.

National Volunteerism, Philanthropy Awards For Six - 4 Dec 10
Opportunities for talent and volunteer management
"All the volunteers who signed up for the recent packing of goodies turned up! We are really delighted with their help. Thanks SG Cares for the great work in helping VWOs like us find people to help out in times of need." - Susie Wee from Family Life Society.
"The Sgcares portal is a very efficient system. It enables Volunteers to choose the type of beneficiary they like to volunteer their time with. Therefore, when I was running Kindsville Tour and needed volunteers who love working with children, I was glad to find new volunteers from all walks of life who enjoyed serving their time with children and see them so passionate in volunteering. I highly recommend this site to both Volunteers and Volunteer Coordinators. Volunteers will enjoy the flexible volunteering opportunities based on their preferred beneficiary and availability, and Coordinators will love the portal as it's so organised, and comes with downloadable Volunteers data in excel or pdf version. It just makes volunteer management so easy! Thank you so much Sgcares!" –Narelle, Singapore Kindness Movement
I also wish to compliment the volunteer portal SG Cares by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre — every activity has been a satisfying, enriching and encouraging experience. - Sujata Dwivedi Ryo has a passion for working with our volunteers and have shown strong commitment and dedication when working with them. - Vernon Kang (CEO), Singapore Heart Foundation
They are definitely not the nicest breed or the cutest puppies, in fact many were old and crippled. Yet somehow, we were drawn to all of them. Every single one of them seems to tell a sad story of their own. Abandoned, abused or neglected, yet majority of the dogs there remain loyal to humans. God bless all the doggies and I salute the dedicated group of regular of volunteers. - Angeline Soh recounting her volunteering experience with Animal Lovers League
I feel every primary and secondary school student should go through the International Volunteer Day "Experience With Me" section to figure out which cause they like before they start their CIP activities. It's extremely impactful! Hats off! My favourite part was the hearing impaired and forest trail. - Juliah Bee
Through SG Cares, we now have a volunteer from Britain helping with the English curriculum at our Rotary Family Service Centre, corporate volunteers conducting monthly Bingo sessions, and volunteers for the Family Life Education talks we conduct. Just want to say a huge thank you! - Alice from Rotary Family Service CentreThe ISCOS Healthy Lifestyle Family Event 2011 garnered 272 participants to make 8160 bowls of rice for needy families of South East CDC. The SG Cares volunteers helped as Mobile Safety Officer, Game Masters, Trail Challenge Facilitators, Walking Motivators, and many more. It was truly enjoyable for all. - Effy from Industrial & Services Co-operative Society LtdIt's a deep sense of joy and fulfillment with each volunteering experience. I am proud to be supporting a great cause! - YizhenI am glad that the activity and human-touch helped fill the lives of the elderly, who often tend to be lonelier. I would definitely extend a helping hand and a listening ear again. - ElysiaThough some patients at the Bright Vision Hospital were not eager to participate in the karaoke session, I'm glad that they smiled and responded to us. The staff's care, attention and enthusiasm for the patients impressed me and made me feel that volunteers would definitely be able to blend in and make a difference to the patients' lives. - Audrey LimI was concerned because it's my first time volunteering without a close friend. Thankfully, I was warmly welcomed by other volunteers and everyone took the initiative to talk to one another, making me feel at ease. I learned how to recycle and am keen to apply the recycling statistics I acquired at the activity in my school projects. - Jonathan Just living is not enough, we should offer help to those in need. If mankind has this kind of attitude, this world would be a much better place to live. - MyatI believe the reason why we are driven to continue serving and helping others is because we find joy and motivation doing them. - EugeneThis volunteering experience I had has been the most heartwarming. All I did was just to lend a listening ear to only 2 patients and only for a short while, yet, I felt great joy after the session. They so willingly shared with us their stories and life experiences. The smiles they gave when we said good-bye still linger on my mind. I hope the little time I had with them brightened their day too. - Meow LinThe Toss the Ball Activity at St. Luke's was a meaningful experience. The elderly were warm, cheerful and deeply appreciative that we were willing to spend time with them. There was a strong sense of community as all the elderly joined together to sing songs, pass the ball around and share a birthday cake. During tea-time, I listened to the life story of a 95-year lady, who talked non-stop about her children and grandchildren. The experience was a reminder to remember the family and community that is around us, and to stop to help those who need our help. A few hours is a good start to making a difference in others lives. - JeffI was initially apprehensive that the event participants might not be very enthusiastic to participate. However, I was amazed by the level of engagement and enthusiasm that they showed. When talking and spending time with them, it was not apparent they were patients undergoing therapy. It was heartwarming to see their competitiveness, joy and openness with which they welcomed us as part of their group. Even though it was a short event, I would certainly like to go back again and spend time with them. The lesson for me was that we must learn to ignore each other's shortcomings and cherish more the positive attributes that each one of us has. - RaeshI found the activity (Activities With Elderly Residents @ Singapore Christian Home for the Aged) enjoyable but also challenging. I had thought that it would be easy to interact with the elderly residents at the Home as I had looked after my own elderly mum for nearly 6 years. The challenging part was getting them interested in participating in the activities we planned for them. Some were slow to respond to the drawing/colouring activity because they had poor eyesight. Many of them needed coaxing so volunteers must have lots of patience. I'm already preparing for future activities with the aged by learning origami and reading up on games that the elderly can play and enjoy. - JillianIt was really my pleasure to be given the chance to work with other volunteers. With regards to the task (Maintenance at ACRES), it was considerably exhausting but I guess it's a mere representation of what genuine service means. The sacrificial purpose of it is undeniably the essence of the volunteer activity in itself. Amidst the scorching heat of the sun, we still managed to battle against the creeping weeds and in the end, I presume that still, we attained our primary commitment to provide a a conducive environment for the resident animals, visitors and even for the staff and crew of ACRES. - MarchMy volunteering experience at St Luke's has motivated me to sign up more for such activities. It brings me immense joy when I see the elderly having fun with us as companions. Some have a positive mindset and some have a negative mindset about life. I am inspired by those who are optimistic. For those who have a negative mindset, I hope to add colour to their life and make them feel that life is still brightful and hopeful! - ZoeI had a really good time painting the murals! It was truly an enriching experience. Before that, I had never painted anything bigger than a piece of drawing block. I've always been interested in art but I never had the talent nor the opportunity to start practising so it makes me very happy painting the very pretty murals drawn by the artists. Furthermore, I'm glad that what we did will benefit all the residents living in that area so I've decided to sign up for the next one! - SamanthaMy greatest takeaway from this event (IVD 2010) is not the food or goodie bag but the opporturnity to be confident to approach strangers to inform them about the event or simply to give direction to seemingly lost sheep. It may be a simple act but it does help them a lot. Secondly, it is the opporturnity to reunite with other fellow volunteers that helped me growin some way or another. - Kristine
It's my first time doing volunteer work with SG Cares, and I have to say the people are awesome and friendly! Some of them even introduced me to the new and upcoming activities that will be happening and I will try to join if I am available. Well, through this experience, I find that doing volunteer work is about placing others before self. It focuses on improving the well-being of others and it makes me happy to see people happy. - Yi An
I think I would have enjoyed the event (IVD) less had I just been a normal participant of the event. The volunteering at IVD did not feel like "work" at all, but more like a gathering of friends (some new, some we have seen so many times before at various SG Cares activities) who all contributed positively to the event's success. - Benny
I'm so delighted that I was one of the participants in this lively and meaningful activity (Clementi Hobby Club). The activity has made me more compassionate, open-minded and friendly towards all people. I really enjoyed interacting with lots of elderly people who I have never known and seen before. Their happy and smiling faces brought me joy. - MyatThrough this activity, I learned how to be appreciative of what we have in our life. I didn't know that even in S'pore, there are so many people who struggle to get a daily meal. Sometimes, we just love to complain about simple things in life. And I'm glad that through this activity, it opened my eyes that I should be appreciative of what I have now, even it's just a simple daily meal that I can afford. SGCares has given me the opportunity to help out in contributing to society and in another way, providing a platform for me to learn and improve myself. - IreneSo, Thank You SGCares for giving me the opportunities to help out in contributing to society and in another way providing a platform for me to learn and improve myself in one way or another. This is my second time participating in the SLEC "Toss The Ball" activity. I went back to meet up with the "aunties and uncles" and "Ah Poh"(Grandma in Cantonese). They like to tell stories and I like to listen to them, to see them cheerful and smiling. - MyatI don't know why i just keep signing up for the activities with the elderly. I feel happy to share a little time with them and see how happy they are just to see someone around to care for . The old people really want to talk with someone, just like my grandparents, though most of the time I don't understand much what they say either. Here, language may be my barrier but i don't take it seriously or feel upset when joining these activities. My grandma told me that she loves to be listened to. Yup, anyway it's still a bit ridiculous just to listen without responding. Maybe I'll try to learn some Chinese :) There's a moment in life when people are old, they somehow turn into little children. That's what I like about them. An old man in my group didn't do any colouring at all. He just looked at others and smiled the whole time. Both talking and doing the activity together brought good feelings of connection. - HollyI had no regrets at all participating in the 'Cardiac Arrest Response' activity. Knowing now that a device such as the AED exists, I hope to spread the word so that others can know about it too. It won't be easy educating the public about the AED but I feel it is essential that the public know about such an important life-saving device. I'm really glad to have a great recap on performing CPR and learning how to take advantage of the AED to increase the survival rate of a cardiac arrest victim by a huge margin. - AndrewI really enjoyed myself at IMH. Before attending the activity, I didn't know what to expect (and I admit I had some preconceived notions of how 'mental' patients would be like) but I realised some of them are just like us 'normal' people. If you met them on the streets you wouldn't know they were such patients. It's important for them to know that not everyone stigmatises them & that there are people who care about them & treat them with respect & dignity. - NorrizanI was so glad that I attended Toss the Ball last Friday. I could see from their eyes the happiness we had given them even in such a short time only. Even though we just stayed there for few hours, the fulfillment and joy we had bring them made it worthwhile. There's a saying that we will only be young once, but the joy I saw on the elderly's faces last Friday made me think that Yes, we will only be young once, but the activity we had with them felt like that they were YOUNG once again. - LovelyJust wanted to say that it feels great to be able to contribute to the commumity, a contrast to the boring routine life I lead. As an university student, CIP is not a requirement and there's very little chance for me to participate in such event (partly because I'm lazy to look for them and the changing time table). I really miss the days in JC where I was a member of Interact Club and was able to help out the less fortunate on regular basis. SG Cares provides such a opportunity for me to help out whenever I am free and I'm really glad to have join the organisation. - LeIt was my first time volunteering at ACRES and I found this activity meaningful. I did not know that recycled bottles could be use to make beautiful structures for the tortoises and also save the environment too. At the same time, I made new friends. I am so looking forward to participate in the same activity. - EvonneI enjoyed the opportunity to socialise and dance with the patients from the Institute of Mental Health. I grew in confidence and lead the dances for a few weeks. It was sometimes difficult to interact but we tried to encourage them all to participate. I learned that I can express myself, help others and take on a leadership role. This activity made me more aware of the wider community here in Singapore and made me more sympathetic, open-minded and friendly towards all people. - Monica
Volunteering has allowed me to reveal my compassion towards the needy people so that their life and my life will be filled with colour and hope every single day. - Han Jun YuanI found the session meaningful. It gave me the chance to understand more about special students. - Candy
I truly enjoyed the volunteering session. Initially I thought it wouldn't be very meaningful. I wouldn't have thought this service would mean so much to the people at the AWWA Resource Centre if not for what Teresa had said. I've come to realise how budget is a huge factor to consider in VWOs. - Stephanie
My first volunteering experience has been fantastic and fruitful. We will never know there are really so many people who are in need of help until we take up volunteering and we see and hear from the beneficiaries and organisations themselves. This has been a really a meaningful experience for me! - Meiqi
Thank you, SG Cares, for caring enough to spin off something like this for those of us out there who wanted to do something good but not sure how & where to start. And I am so glad I have finally started my journey of discovery. I am looking forward to more interesting "do-good" opportunities coming from SG Cares! - Jaclyn
It feels great to volunteer for environmental causes, to do tasks like gardening and landscaping. It enhances the aesthetics of these family centres for ex-offenders and helps people living there feel more at home. Coming all the way from America, I still feel the need to volunteer, even if it's in another country. - Lynnicia My first time volunteering with SG Cares, doing mural painting at Millennia Walk, was indeed a fruitful one. It gave me lots positive energy to want to volunteer more in the future. It showed that volunteers like me can work together as a team to care and give our time and energy to Singaporeans or any non-profit organisations. - Latip
We taught the children how to fold origami and we made paper hearts with them. Teaching the kids who were clueless about origami was a challenge for me initially, but I got the hang of it and was enjoying myself tremendously. I saw how hardworking these children were and what fun they had. They were all excited to finish their hearts and when they did, the smiles and accomplishments on their faces meant so much to me. Towards the end, one child ran up to me to give me the paper heart he made. It was so sweet of him and I will keep that heart for as long as it lasts. – Representative from Okinawa Christian School

Mikey Way is the brother of Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance. He learned to play the bass because he wanted to be in the band. He does an excellent job, while still being the sexiest boy alive. I love him (something about boys with glasses) Saw him at Warped Tour and almost came in my pants.

MARTINSBURG - As wedding season approaches and the "clink" of champagne glasses fills Blair County's banquet halls, at least one well-known site might remain quietly sober.
Despite an 8-month-old policy allowing alcohol at private parties, guests at the Morrisons Cove Memorial Park have remained stubbornly uninterested in imbibing, park officials said recently.
They're following a long tradition that's kept the Cove dry - save for a few private watering holes - for generations.
"We're near a year, and we haven't had anybody use it yet," Janice Sell, assistant to park director Roseanne Conrad, said last week.
Sell said the decision, approved at an August park board meeting, drew opposition from "a lot of people." But it remains unclear just who opposed the policy, which Conrad said drew a nearly unanimous "yes" vote.
Some in the borough have suggested the opposition remains below the surface, part of a longstanding cultural opposition to alcohol among the Cove's older residents.
"It was never a verbal thing. It never came to blows," Martinsburg Borough Council President Connie Lamborn said. "It was just a sense."
Lamborn said some in Martinsburg feared a slippery slope, with private parties giving way to more rambunctious affairs.
As alcohol policies go, the park's is fairly strict: Guests at private parties must provide the drinks themselves - wine, champagne and beer, but no hard liquor - and cover the event through their own homeowners' insurance, Conrad said.
The park even provides bartenders, who Conrad said would closely monitor consumption and ensure guests aren't keeping bottles at their tables.
Conrad said the board voted to change the policy after future brides had repeatedly asked for alcohol at their wedding receptions. The park hosts roughly 12 receptions each year, she said.
"Basically, what some people want is just a champagne toast. That's all they want," she said.
But even that simple request brushes closely against the stipulations in the park's deed transfer from Mary Snyder Ashcom, a widow who, in 1922, sold her plot to the nonprofit park association.
The deed said park officials "shall not suffer or permit any baneful or harmful pleasures or amusements to exist ... or disorderly conduct or the manufacture or sale of alcohol beverages," among other supposedly immoral pastimes.
But the park is serving, not selling, alcohol, a policy that puts it in league with other private Martinsburg-area venues.
Those renting event rooms at The Village Green, part of The Village at Morrisons Cove, can bring drinks, but the Martinsburg retirement community "does not promote, encourage or serve alcoholic beverages," according to listed guidelines.
And guests of Martinsburg's Veterans of Foreign Wars post can drink, but its doors aren't open to the public, members said.
Martinsburg, like Cove neighbor Roaring Spring, simply doesn't allow public bars, Lamborn said. Lamborn and Roaring Spring Borough employees noted that the communities' shared "dry" laws go back generations, possibly to the time before Morrisons Cove was divided into townships.
While Cove liquor licenses are mentioned in documents dating to the 1840s, an 1883 county history said "the prohibitory law has held sway" in nearby Woodbury Township "for well nigh a dozen years," Blair County Historical Society Executive Director Jeannine Treese said.
In the 1930s, when nationwide prohibition was repealed and municipalities were left to choose their own alcohol laws, boroughs and townships in the Cove voted en masse to continue the ban, Blair and Bedford County historian Jim Wentz said.
"They got to decide whether they could stay dry or go wet," Wentz said. "It's the religious influence that keeps the Cove dry."
Liquor licenses aren't available in Martinsburg, Lamborn said; the park apparently didn't need official approval, however, because it's open only to private renters.
Despite earlier guest requests for an alcohol policy, no one has taken advantage of the new rule so far, Conrad said.
"A lot of people in the Cove, they're so used to not having alcohol at functions. ... They just say, 'no thanks,'" she said, noting that park officials aren't interested in advertising the rule.

The Truckee boys led by Patrick Romano and Scotty Lebel claimed victory in a Tahoe Basin League giant slalom race at Diamond Peak on Wednesday.
Romano finished second overall to Hughston Norton of Whittell, posting a two-run combined time of 1:06 to Norton's 1:05. Lebel was third in 1:06.
Truckee's Wes Harrington (1:11) finished sixth, Nico Kuyper (1:12) was seventh and Colter Fellows (1:15) was 12th to round out the Wolverines' top five scores.
Wildon DesLauriers led a shorthanded North Tahoe team with a 10th-place finish in 1:14. He was followed by teammates Harrison Goss (13th, 1:15), Drew Austin (15th, 1:16), Tyler Olk (18th, 1:18) and Ethan Faye (27th, 1:26).
The Truckee boys took the team win with 209 points to second-place South Tahoe's 203 points. North Tahoe's boys were third with 172 points and were followed by Whittell (159), Douglas (120), Carson (95) and Incline (46).
In the girls race, South Tahoe's Maia Bickert captured the win - her third of the season - just ahead of North Tahoe's Jessica Tidd. Both finished in 1:08, but Bickert was less than tenth of a second quicker.
Truckee's Sabrina Futral led the Wolverines in fourth place, in 1:09, while Brittney Straw was seventh in 1:11 and Maureen Lebel 10th in 1:14.
Trailing Tidd were teammates Bozhie Pokorny (1:14) and Johanna Gur (1:16) in 11th and 12th, respectively, and Emma Sproehnie (1:17) in 14th.
Bolstered by Bickert's win and two top-three finishes, the South Tahoe girls took the team win with 198 points to runner-up North Tahoe's 189 and third-place Truckee's 181. Whittell's girls were fourth with 154 points, followed by Incline (145), Douglas (132) and Carson (66).
The Vikings also won the team combined (boys and girls) with a total score of 401 points. Truckee was second overall with 390 points and North Tahoe third with 361.

Retiring WCCC President Joyce Hedlund to Deliver Keynote at UMM Commencement
Dr. Joyce Hedlund, retiring
president of Washington County
Community College in Calais.
MACHIAS, Maine – The University of Maine at Machias has announced that Dr. Joyce Hedlund, retiring president of Washington County Community College in Calais, will deliver the keynote address at UMM's 101st commencement ceremony in May.
"Joyce has dedicated her entire career to education," said UMM President Dr. Cynthia Huggins. "For 25 years, she has served the students of Maine's community college system, and I feel privileged to have spent the past two years working with her here in Washington County. We are honored that she will be delivering this year's commencement address."
Dr. Hedlund began her career as an elementary school teacher in northern Maine before serving in various administrative capacities in higher education at the University of Maine at Fort Kent, University of Maine, and Husson College. She joined Eastern Maine Vocational Technical Institute (Eastern Maine Community College) in 1987 as a student support services counselor and worked her way up through the ranks, becoming president of the institution in 1994. In 2010, Dr. Hedlund was named president of Washington County Community College.
Dr. Hedlund serves on a number of local, regional, and state boards and organizations including the Calais Rotary Club, Maine Higher Education Council, Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems, Maine's Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve committee, and several economic development councils. She has also been involved with the Community Caring Collaborative in developing a parenting academy, and with the Maine Development Foundation in working to increase higher education attainment.
She is a graduate of Leadership Maine and was the recipient of the 1998 Kenneth M. Curtis Leadership Award, given by the alumni of the program.
A native of Fort Kent, Dr. Hedlund earned her bachelor's degree in English from Fort Kent State College (the University of Maine at Fort Kent), and received her master's and doctoral degrees in education from the University of Maine.
"I started my career in Fort Kent at one of the smallest university campuses," said Dr. Hedlund. "To be able to bring my career to a whole new level as the commencement speaker at UMM, another small state university campus, is a real honor for me."
Dr. Hedlund will retire from WCCC on June 30.
UMM's commencement will take place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 12 at the Frederic A. Reynolds Center. For more information about commencement activities, contact Michael May at 255-1210.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 14:49 GMT le 24 janvier 2007
President Bush spoke of "the serious challenge of global climate change" in his State of the Union speech last night, and called for the U.S. to reduce gasoline consumption 20 percent over the next 10 years. The reduction in gasoline consumption would primarily be achieved through promotion of alternative fuels such as ethanol and liquefied coal. While it is a pleasant change to hear the president acknowledge the reality of the climate change problem and to propose measures that could significantly reduce U.S. consumption of foreign oil, his proposals do virtually nothing to combat global warming.
About one third of greenhouse gases emissions in the the U.S. come from cars and trucks. Thus, a 20% cut in gasoline consumption would reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by about 6%, at best. Since a large portion of the gasoline reduction would come from liquefied coal--which, when burned, makes double the CO2 of burning gasoline--even this modest 6% decrease in emissions might end up at zero. The President offered no plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from electric utilities or industry, whose emissions will continue to grow at about 2% per year. Overall, greenhouse gas emission will grow by 14% over the next decade under the President's plan, according to Philip Clapp, president of the National Environmental Trust. The consensus among most climate scientists is that emission of greenhouse gases must be radically cut 50-60% globally by 2050 in order to avoid dangerous levels of global warming. The President's business-as-usual plan to allow emissions to increase by 14% over the next decade will make it extremely difficult to achieve that goal, as the U.S. contributes about 25% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.

Lindsay Lohan checked into the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage, Calif., on Thursday night, for what is to be a three-month stay, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
"She needs rehab and the whole world knows it," a source tells PEOPLE about Lohan, who was due to check into a rehab facility on Thursday.
"And she showed up [at Morningside Recovery] in the morning and hated it. She thought the facilities are gross. ... She is interested in going back to Betty Ford because she knows everyone there."
Lohan, who has been in rehab a total of five times before this, was previously in Betty Ford in 2010. At that time she made headlines when an employee went public with claims the actress was "out of control" and had alcohol on her breath during a tussle between them. A police investigation followed.
Prior to this check-in to Betty Ford, which was first reported by TMZ.com, California prosecutors had said late Thursday that the troubled actress, 26, would be arrested if she continued to flout a court order to enter a rehab facility. Her treatment comes as a condition of her agreement in her lying to police case over a car accident last June.
Lohan's latest stint is part of a plea deal negotiated in March that requires her to spend 90 days in a facility, as well as doing community service and undergoing psychotherapy.
"She's looking forward to rehab," the source tells PEOPLE. "Betty Ford was the best she's been in a long time. She was happy and healthy there."
Her stay there will be in lieu of a six-month jail term for violating her probation related to a previous shoplifting case.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Columnist Jeff Quinn, CPA, did a good job of summarizing the tax effects of Congress' American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 in the last issue of the Bonanza ("Some good, some bad"). Jeff closes his column by pointing out with annoyance that politicians knew of the deadline for 17 months and waited until the last minute to address it. He could have added that the 152-page bill was given lawmakers to read 15 minutes before the vote.I'll leave the tax advice to Jeff but there were some aspects of the bill which were purely political and that's my playground. For example Section 317 of the Act allows Hollywood producers to depreciate the cost of their film products in 3 years, not the 30+ years folks who build investment real estate must use. Depreciation is a non-cash business expense which shelters otherwise taxable income so the likes of Disney and Spielberg get huge tax breaks.Section 318 of the Act provides for a "Liberty (tax free) Zone" where the now destroyed World Trade Center buildings used to be so guess where Goldman Sachs' $1.6 billion office complex is going to be built.Section 329 of the Act provides an excise tax exemption for rum makers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. There is only one ... Bacardi ... who is estimated to save between $200 and $300 million annually from this provision. Not only that, but rum is made from sugar, which receives price supports from US taxpayers. So, if you want to subsidize Goldman Sachs, movie producers and rum manufacturers with your tax dollars you got your wish. If you don't I guess it's too bad ... maybe the solons who voted for that bill should have read it.Jeff's column points out that "middle class" marginal tax rates did not increase under the Act. Does that mean they got off Scot free? Reno Investment Advisor and Economist Bob Barone doesn't see it that way when you add income and payroll tax changes together (both are deducted from paychecks).Using annual salary figures of $48,000, $60,000 and $72,000, Barone calculates that these earners' 2013 effective tax rates will increase 13.43 percent, 13.11 percent and 12.91 percent respectively.Who came out best and who worst under the American Taxpayer Relief Act? Writing in the National Security Forum former Reagan Administration National Security Advisor and Reno Business consultant Ty O. Cobb wrote:"Senate leadership (was a loser). (They) fell into line and passed a compromise, but Harry Reid and Democrat leadership offered no plan. Reid (was) marginalized as Biden-McConnell relationship became the key to securing needed votes."Well-off senior citizens no longer working won big. Hey, no cuts to Medicare, Social Security or Defense. Unless you are very wealthy, no tax increases and unless you are still working, no additional levies." That sure applies to a lot of people in Incline/Crystal Bay."Cobb continued: "Our grandchildren: major losers. They may not realize it but we have succeeded in foisting an enormous debt on future generations. The young continue to subsidize the rest of us - on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, government or other pensions/health care. Of course it is all unsustainable. Just wondering when they will figure that out."Well, like they say, people who admire sausage and legislation should not watch either being made.- Jim Clark is president of Republican Advocates and has served on the Washoe County & Nevada State GOP Central Committees; he can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

CLEMSON - For the fifth out of the past six years, Clemson baseball produced at least a half dozen MLB draft picks, and at least one in the top three rounds.
Of course, right-handed pitcher Daniel Gossett was the marquee product out of Clemson in this 2014 draft, taken 65th overall as the Oakland Athletics' second-round selection Thursday. He hasn't technically declared he's gone, though it'd be a shocker if he didn't soon.
"Everything's just got to line up, and the situation's going to have to be fair," Gossett said last week. "For a time I get to be selfish and think of me. So that's what I'm going to have to do. We'll just see what happens."
He was followed Friday by eighth-round second baseman Steve Wilkerson to the Orioles and ninth-round right-hander Matt Campbell to the Dodgers. Those two were seniors who have exhausted their college eligibility.
On Saturday, Clemson had a trio of picks who all will have decisions on whether to leave school or move on to the minor leagues.
Garrett Boulware, a natural catcher who played left field the second half of the 2014 season, was taken in the 16th round by the Cincinnati Reds. The Seattle Mariners claimed Jay Baum, who has played every infield position and the outfield during his college career, in the 21st round. And left-handed starter Matthew Crownover went seven picks later, also in the 21st round, to the San Francisco Giants.
Boulware and Baum are juniors, and Crownover is a 21-year-old sophomore, meaning they're all free to leave if they wish - or come back for at least one more year at Clemson. Early expectations are none are particularly likely to leave.
Boulware was drafted in the 42nd round by the Padres out of T.L. Hanna High School in 2011, but decided to stick with his Clemson commitment. This is the first MLB selection for Baum and Crownover.
Boulware was a second-team all-ACC pick, hitting .302 with four home runs and 35 RBIs. Crownover (8-6, 2.90 ERA) was third-team all-conference, while Baum hit .293 with 29 RBIs and eight steals while taking over shortstop midseason.
Clemson's six picks in 2014 tied for 15th among colleges nationally. The Tigers had just one drafted in 2013: pitcher Scott Firth to the Colorado Rockies in the 19th round.
Top-three round picks out of Clemson in prior years include corner infielder Richie Shaffer (1, Tampa Bay, 2012), shortstop Brad Miller (2, Seattle, 2011), utility man Will Lamb (2, Texas, 2011), outfielder Kyle Parker (1, Colorado, 2010) and first baseman Ben Paulsen (3, Colorado, 2009.)

This section describes the steps required to restore HA broker cluster from backup.
The detailed instructions how to perform backup on replicated environment can be found here.
At this point we assume that backups are collected on regular basis from Master node.
Replication configuration of a cluster is stored internally in HA message store. This information includes IP addresses of the nodes. In case when HA message store needs to be restored on a different host with a different IP address the cluster replication configuration should be reseted in this case
Oracle provides a command line utility
to reset the members of a replication group and replace the group with a new group consisting of a single new member
as described by the arguments supplied to the utility
Cluster can be restored with the following steps:
Copy log files into the store folder from backup
DbResetRepGroup to reset an existing environment. See an example below
Example 13.9. Reseting of replication group with
In the example above
DbResetRepGroup utility from Berkeley JE of version 5.0.97 is used to reset the store
at location ha-work/Node-5001/bdbstore and set a replication group to TestClusterGroup
having a node Node-5001 which runs at localhost:5001.
Start a broker with HA store configured as specified on running of
DbResetRepGroup utility.
Start replica nodes having the same replication group and a helper host port pointing to a new master. The store content will be copied into Replicas from Master on their start up.

Hi all ,
I have a query with 3 selection keyfigure and that has to display the rolling quarter month results. I created the offset from the variable and what i need now is that i need display the corresponding quarter month as the column header i know that i can achieve that with the help of customer exit , but plz can anybody tell me the step i have seen the aritcle but unable to get that plz don't send the link
You can create 3 text variables for each of the key figures with rolling quarters.
Use Processing Type as "Replacement Path" while creating the text variables and replace using the particular info-object/variable value.
Hope this helps
I know those step but what i need is that suppose i have created 3 selection S1,S2,S3 and 3 TEXT VARIABLES TV1,TV2,TV3 and i have created the variable that have to take the user input month , i gave this variable to the text variable tv1 WITH REPLACEMENT PATH and what variable i have to pass for these tv2 and tv3 SO THAT THE ROLLING QUARTER WILL BE DISPLAYED AS A TEXT HEADER.
If I understood your question correctly,
TV1, TV2 and TV3 should have their own text variables type replacement path to get text from the time characteristic (ex: Fiscal Year/Period or Calendar month etc.,) you are restricting the KeyFigures in your query by Customer exit variables S1, S2 and S3 respectively.
Hope this helps

Hi Ravi,
As per my understanding of your question,you want to have offsetting on text variables, cannot have offsetting on Text variables.
The only workaround is through CMOD code.
Hi SVU
Yes what i want is just to create the offset the text , i created that step by going to the cmod but not able to get the required requirement.
Ya, In this case instead of replacement path, you could do it using customer exit...
Hi Ravi,
In your case you need only one text variable. Create a text variable with replacement path type and during variable creation select the required characteristic from which you want to derive the text say for e.g. 0CALQUARTER.
After that you need to select with replace by text option. Once you finish creating text variable use the same variable in the column heading of all the three columns.
The text value of the variable will be derived based on the characteristic value which got used in replacement path and based on the value of that characteristic in RKF the text will be derived.
If you are using same characteristic (0CALQUARTER) in all the RKF then you can simply re-use the variable.
Hi durgesh,
Thanx for the reply i did those step but i am getting the same text values for all the 3 selection keyfigure but what i want is "like creating the offset on the text variable "
Hope u got it,
Thanx & Regadrs,
You can not offset the text variable the text variable value is always derived based on the value of actual characteristic, so you need to offset the value of actual characteristic and then accordingly the value of the text variable will also change.
Hi durgesh,
So now how can i achieve those offset setting in the text variable . Let say suppose i have 3 selection with offset OS,OS-1, OS-2 and now i have to make the setting in the cmod and have to write the manual like that characteristic -1 . Is it the only way to achieve that thing.
Hi Ravi,
Let me give you a simple scenario that we have implemented in our project, we have a report where we need to display the revenue of three months in three different columns based on the user input of fiscal period.
Now we need to show the dynamic text of all the three column based on the user input month. I have created a Text variable TXT1 with replacment path setting over 0FISCPER.
After that I have created three RKF's RKF1, RKF2, RKF3 and I have put TXT1 variable in the heading of all the three variables.
The definition of my RKF1 consists of 0AMOUNT as key figure and 0FISCPER characteristic restricted by user input variable.
the definition of RKF2 consists of 0AMOUNT and 0FISCPER with input variable and offset as -1.
In the report based on the RKF1 key figure 0FISCPER value the text displayed will be current month text e.g. January and at the same time the value returned by 0FISCPER in RKF2 will be offset by -1 and the text displayed will be December.
So practically you don't need to worry about the text value changes as long as you are using the same time characteristic you can use the same text variable.
Hi durgesh,
Thanx for the reply, let me try and i will revert back to u .
and i am facing one more problem regarding the text variable with processing type customer exit and whenever i debug i am unable to enter into the debugging mode.
I am unable to get this .
I hope you are debugging using RSRT. put a session break point in the CMOD code where you've written the code and execute using RSRT.
And also you could write the code like this
when 'txt_var1' or 'txt_var2' or 'txt_var3'. if i_step = 2. READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'input_variable' INTO L_S_VAR. IF SY-SUBRC = 0. L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'. L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'. if I_VNAM = 'txt_var1'. L_S_RANGE-LOW = L_S_VAR+1. "Your offset +1 is just an example elseif if I_VNAM = 'txt_var2'. L_S_RANGE-LOW = L_S_VAR-1. "Your offset elseif if I_VNAM = 'txt_var3'. L_S_RANGE-LOW = L_S_VAR+2. "Your offset endif. APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE. ENDIF. endif.
Hope it helps
Hi Joe ,
Thanx for the reply ,
Let me try and revert back to u.
But here i am facing the problem that i am unable to enter into debugging after keeping the breakpoint . As per ur example let say txt_var1 :-
Processing type : customer exit.
variable : mandatory.
not ready for input.
but still unable to enter into the debugging.
All these step i performed in the rsrt tcode. Plz tell me if i missed any thing . I think it is correct as per my idea.
Thanx & Regards,
Hi Ravi,
Try by clicking on the "execute + debug" option in RSRT and select the before input or after input, I'm not getting exactly what's the option but there you can select to see the values of the variables.
Try this.
Hope it helps you.
HI joe ,
I executed the query with the execute + debug option in rsrt tcode . where can we find the option before input or after input option in rsrt tcode.
i guess what joe here is refering to.. can be found under variables option
when you open rsrt in execute+debug , see the last option it will be variable-> you will have to drill down further-> there you will see the option of Customer Exit variable Before and Customer Exit variable After , check both and then run query
hope it helps
Thanks laksh! thats exactly what i was referring to
Hi Ravi,
Did you use the new variable which you are testing in the query?
If you did, then debugging will start in CMOD when you set watch or break point at that variable when you run RSRT without any further selections in RSRT transaction.
Hope this helps !
Naveen Rao Kattela
Hi Ravi,
To debug the EXIT code written you will have to put a external break point. Just open the code written, put cursor on the line where you want to put break point and then from the tool bar select the option external break point.
Once you set the break point, close your query designer, re-open it and execute the query it will go to debug mode.
For your reference check the below article,

10 sports events announced for 2014-2016
- 2014 Bowling Proprietors Association of America's International Family Bowling Tournament, July 19 to July 21, is expected to draw 400 participants for an estimated economic impact of $67,500. This will be the first time this event takes place in the Rockford region.
- 2014 Bowling Proprietors Association of America's Women's All Star Bowling Tournament and the Senior Women's U.S. Open, July 19 to July 25, is expected to fill approximately 825 hotel rooms for an estimated economic impact of $148,500.
- The United States Bowling Congress' 2015 Midwest Women's Bowling Tournament, in May and June 2015, is expected to fill 2,345 rooms for an economic impact of $449,100.
- The United States Bowling Congress' Illinois Women's Bowling Association State Bowling Tournament, scheduled for up to six weeks in early 2016, is expected to fill nearly 4,000 rooms for an economic impact of $702,000.
The Rock River Cup, organized by NXTsports, has a three-year commitment to hold a lacrosse tournament in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Over the three years, the tournament is expected to fill 10,400 hotel rooms and generate $1,728,000 in local spending.
Water skiing
The local Ski Broncs water ski show team plans to host the National Show Ski Association Division I Show Ski Nationals in August 2015 at Shorewood Park in Loves Park. The tournament is projected to fill 1,550 rooms for an estimated $279,000.
The Illinois-United States Specialty Sports Association will host three World Series fastpitch softball tournaments at Sportscore One from July 25 to Aug. 2. The event could mean a booking of 3,550 rooms for an estimated economic impact of $639,000.
ROCKFORD - City and recreation leaders celebrated some "big wins" Thursday for boosting Rockford's reputation as a leading sports tourism destination.
The region will host 10 bowling, softball, lacrosse and show ski events expected to draw thousands of athletes, spectators and fans that potentially could spend more than $4 million during their stay, enough to support 50 full-time jobs in the hospitality sector.
John Groh, president and chief executive officer of the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Mayor Larry Morrissey announced the region's coup during a press conference inside the Prairie Street Brewhouse.
The tournaments will take place in 2014, 2015 and 2016, and they should diversify the region's mix of tournament clients while drawing attention to the Rock River and the region's parks, restaurants, hotels and sports facilities.
Besides the five bowling tournaments that are scheduled for Don Carter Lanes and Cherry Bowl, the Rock River Cup has signed a three-year commitment to hold a regional lacrosse tournament at Sportscore Two.
Also, the local Ski Broncs water ski show team will host a national competition in August 2015 at Shorewood Park in Loves Park, and the Illinois-United States Specialty Sports Association will host three World Series fastpitch softball tournaments July 25 to Aug. 2 at Sportscore One.
"We're really trying to bring visitors throughout the entire year," Groh said. "Many of these (events) are new and some have been with us before, but it's been a while."
Regional leaders have been coming together to grow Winnebago County's already sizeable reputation as a destination for sports tourism. Already, the city hosts about 150 different sports events that annually generate a minimum of $15 million, Groh said.
To build on those stats, the region's sports mission has included partnerships between municipalities to develop new indoor and outdoor facilities to catch the eye of tournament organizers.
Rockford's City Council is a few weeks away from finalizing plans for Reclaiming First - a multi-million-dollar revamping of the former Ingersoll factory in downtown Rockford to add to the list of indoor sports facilities. The project also includes plans to expand Sportscore Two in Loves Park.
Reclaiming First is an effort to help the region recapture its place as a top destination for sports tournaments.
At Thursday's announcement, Cherry Bowl manager John Andersen boasted of the positive impact the region will experience from the July 19-21 International Family Bowling Tournament.
"There's going to be three days of this event, and they're going to spend money in Rockford those three days," he said. "Can I have an amen?"

No matter how many times I visit Door County, it's always awesome. We went to our favorite campsite at
Pennisula State Park
in Fish Creek for a week and the weather gods were smiling. We didn't have a lick of rain ... and the colors were unbelievable. It was
nice, we were able to get out on the kayaks for a day and visit the caves just outside of Ephraim. We also took big advanatge of the bike trails through the park. Very cool. We ate at one of our fave restaraunts,
Mission Grille
in Sister Bay. What a steak! The memories from that trip should sustain me for a while as we head into winter ... I hope.
