BEDFORD - The Cambria County American Legion Baseball playoffs will go one more night.
Led by Dylan Foor's complete game, the Bedford Hurricanes were able to escape elimination defeating Claysburg, 5-2, Monday night at Bedford High School.
"My hat goes off to him," Bedford coach Kelbi Berg said. "He got behind in some counts early, but he worked back and was able to settle in towards the end."

Both teams will square off in tonight's championship game at 5:30 in Bedford thanks to the efforts of Foor, who struck out seven batters and gave up two walks. He credits the offense for his success.
"They did a good job getting me the lead [in the third]," he said. "And I just settled in from there and threw strikes."
Claysburg managed to set the tempo early. Leadoff hitter Austin Cunningham belted a double and scored on a Kasy Hamm double to put the visitors up 1-0.
Bedford managed to turn the game around in the blink of an eye.
Right fielder Kody Blevins led off the inning with a single and eventually scored on a balk by Presley Swope. The Hurricanes scored all five runs in the inning to take a 5-1 lead after the third frame.
"When we play from behind and put our backs against the wall, this team responds," Berg said. "The defense steps up and the bench gets in it and the hitters take the approach that they need to."
Claysburg's fortune took a turn in the top of the fourth as it managed to load the bases with two outs, but Zach Cox grounded out to Bedford shortstop Isaac Stern to end the inning.
"We had runners in scoring position and couldn't get the timely hit today," Claysburg coach Dave Aungst said.
Cunningham scored the game's final run on a dead-ball error by Blevins for the game's final score.
Aungst said that he wouldn't go to into tonight's game with any other players.
"I wouldn't trade my guys for anything," he said. "Today just wasn't our day."

Gen. Colin Powell's remark that the Republican party, particularly its far right wing, has masked a "dark vein of intolerance" has stirred great controversy. Some, like Louisiana's Gov. Bobby Jindal, have taken up the same theme. He has warned against tolerating candidates producing "stupid" and "bizarre" statements and positions. Others, such as Rick Santorum and Rush Limbaugh, blithely dismiss Powell's statements as being reflective of his soft Republicanism.
For some on the right, anyone who does not swallow their radical views on greens or climate control is simply a RINO - Republican In Name Only. Although Powell has served three Republican presidents and has supported, in nine elections, one Democrat - Barack Obama - for this, he has become an apostate. Many making these criticisms hold positions coming from the darkest labyrinth of the American right, reminiscent of the John Birch Society's leader in the 1960s, Robert Welch, denouncing Dwight Eisenhower as a Communist dupe.
Partially, the strange ideas of the Tea Party come from those of former segregationists who took up the GOP standard only after Democrats took a firm Civil Rights position. Roy Harris explained his support for the GOP in 1964 strictly in pragmatic terms.
"We took four states for Goldwater," Harris stated, "and hell, we didn't even like him. He voted against the Civil Rights Act, and we just showed our appreciation."
Republicans seeking a Southern strategy, shrewdly, or so it seemed at the time, attempted to merge the economically based gains in the upper south with the race caucus vote in the lower south. Dwight Eisenhower, who did not use any racist appeal, took Louisiana in 1956. He did so largely because urban voters preferred Republicans because they were considered business progressives, while Democrats were the old courthouse crowd.
Richard Nixon did make subtle appeals - making gestures such as trying to weaken the 1965 voting rights act and ending guidelines for school desegregation. Although Nixon was a very good lawyer and knew the then-liberal Supreme Court would move to make short work of his actions. Nixon's appeals were more symbolic than substances. Ronald Reagan would follow a similar line in the early 1980s.
The reason these main-stream conservatives would go to so much trouble was to secure the South. Goldwater called it going "where the ducks are," simply securing votes. Certainly nothing wrong with that. But over the years, it has left a yeasty legacy which has led to anti-public school movements, efforts to suppress the vote, and in general, the denial of the rational universe. Republican candidates, in an understandable attempt to keep these voters, throw them a rhetorical bone or two. Then the radicals discovered that old creator of political havoc, long prized by Democrats - the primary.
Saxby Chambliss - certainly no liberal or moderate - is a clever conservative who knows not to express every thought. He suddenly announced that he was not going to seek re-election in 2014 because he might be "primaried." How conservative do "right wingers" believe their leaders should be? Poor Lindsay Graham has been reduced to political baby talk in his effort to prevent a right-wing party challenge. As ridiculous as he might sound, ol' Lindsay will not be able to please them; meanwhile, he loses any national credibility.
Jindal smartly warned about the consequences of forcing smart conservatives to take positions alienating the general electorate.
Of course, Republicans will counter that the Democrats have leftists that manage to alienate the electorate. However, the far left is separate from the party majority. Republicans have their own extreme wing. Certainly they would be advised to follow Gen. Powell's and Gov. Jindal's suggestions and admonishments.

However I've noticed that the majority of tutorials on this site for how to make trainers refer to Trainer Maker Kit which seems to not like W7 x64 (by chance the OS I am currently using). I've looked through the forums and it seems TMK is dead and will not feature support for x64 anytime soon.
So my question is, how are you guys making trainers for these games? Do you just use CE's trainer making utility and if so are there any good tutorials guides you could refer me to? Is there any better software out there that you'd recommend?
Any help/advice/comments are appreciated.
And just in case anyone is wondering, yes I know how to use google. And I have.

SALEM - A technology available at Salem Community Hospital allows doctors to see inside a patient's beating heart, revealing whether there's a risk for heart attack or something wrong with the valves or function of the heart.
"This answers a tremendous amount of information," Dr. Peter Apicella said during a recent interview to bring attention to affairs of the heart during American Heart Month.
Apicella serves as chairman of the Salem Community Hospital Medical Imaging Department, where the Dual-128 CT scanner produces 3-D images in a quarter of a second, with higher image quality and 80 percent less radiation than other CT scanners in the area. The scanner at SCH is the only one of its kind between Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

Dr. Peter Apicella, chairman of the Salem Community Hospital Medical Imaging Department, points out one of the coronary arteries in a 3-D image of a patient's heart, an image made possible by the hospital's Dual-128 CT scanner, the only one of its kind between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. The images produced by the scanner allow doctors to see inside the heart, even the amount of cholesterol in blood vessels using minimal radiation. February is recognized as American Heart Month. Also shown, Salem Community Hospital CT Technologist Debbie Mesmer looks through the Dual-128 CT scanner, a piece of technology which can help physicians diagnose and treat disease in a number of areas, allowing 3-D imaging of the kidneys and bladder, lungs, and heart. The technology also allows for a 3-D virtual colonoscopy. (Salem News photos by Mary Ann Greier)
Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States, taking more than 800,000 lives each year and affecting millions more through coronary artery disease, strokes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, angina, heart failure and cardiovascular disease.
According to Apicella, the most common cause of heart attack is cholesterol plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. When the cholesterol builds up, pieces can break off and block the blood vessels, disrupting the blood flow into the heart and causing a heart attack.
Risk factors for heart disease include age, family history, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, high stress and a diet rich in saturated fats and low in antioxidants.
"A lot of this is preventable," he said. "The only thing you can't control is family history."
Heart disease symptoms can include: pain or pressure in the chest; discomfort spreading to the back, jaw, throat or arm (usually the left); nausea, indigestion or heartburn; weakness, anxiety or shortness of breath; and rapid or irregular heartbeats.
For women, there may be less specific symptoms such as heartburn, loss of appetite, tiredness, weakness, coughing and heart flutters.
If a person does not die instantly from a heart attack, they end up in the emergency room where a number of tests are done, including an EKG. In most cases where a heart attack is diagnosed at SCH, Apicella said the patient is shipped to a cardiac care center in Youngstown or Akron for immediate treatment.
The more challenging patient is the one where the symptoms aren't as obvious and doctors aren't sure whether they're having a heart attack. Apicella said those patients and the patients who go to their doctor's offices with symptoms with uncertainty are the ones a CT coronary angiography can help.
The CT is non-invasive and fast and generates 3-D images of the heart showing the beating heart and blood vessels. A doctor can look at the detailed images and see the cholesterol plaque building up in the coronary arteries and evaluate heart valves and muscle.
By seeing the amount of plaque buildup, doctors can possibly treat the problem. If a heart bypass is recommended, doctors can see what they need to reroute the blood. Doctors can see where to place a stent to open up blood vessels so the blood can flow through.
Everything can be done quicker because the images allow doctors to see inside the heart.
The SCH Dual-128 CT scanner allows for imaging of all parts of the body in less time, with less radiation and sharper images produced. Besides the cardiac CT, the scanner allows for a virtual colonoscopy, 3-D lung cancer screening and 3-D CT urogram to see the kidneys and bladder, classify kidney stone composition and find early cancers, a description of the technology said.

Generating power from resources that don't create pollution is a major area of research around the world. The more power we can create from methods that have low pollution and don't require fossil fuels, the less we as a nation will have to rely of foreign oil.
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have unveiled a new method of capturing more heat from low-temperature geothermal resources. According to the researchers, this type of geothermal resource is capable of generating pollution-free electrical energy.
The researchers are working to determine if the new method can safely and economically extract and convert heat from the geothermal resources into electricity. The ultimate goal of the project is to be able to produce electricity without generating greenhouse gas emissions and tap a currently unused underground geothermal resource.
PNNL Laboratory Fellow Pete McGrail said, "By the end of the calendar year, we plan to have a functioning bench-top prototype generating electricity. If successful, enhanced geothermal systems like this could become an important energy source."
According to an analysis conducted at MIT, the new power generating method cold produce 10% of the energy needed by the U.S. by 2050. The new process uses a special liquid that the researchers developed called a biphasic fluid. When the fluid is exposed to heat brought to the surface from water circulating through moderately hot underground rock the biphasic fluid undergoes a thermal cycling.
This thermal cycling can be harnessed to power a turbine that generates electricity. The scientists have developed a nanostructured metal-organic heat carrier called MOHCs that are able to boost the capacity of the generators to levels near that of steam cycle. The advancement was discovered while working on an unrelated project at the labs.
McGrail said, "Some novel research on nanomaterials used to capture carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels actually led us to this discovery. Scientific breakthroughs can come from some very unintuitive connections."

As Bridgewater College's graduating seniors and their families celebrated on May 18, Supreme Court of Virginia Justice William C. Mims urged the 301 graduates to remember society's timeless virtues and to build meaningful lives.
Among those graduation is Natasha Hudok, majoring in business administration, from Huttonsville.
Mims' address, "After the Revolution," spoke to various social and technological revolutions throughout history and asked the questions, "What comes after the revolution? What fills the vortex?"
"Tomorrow your horizons will expand," Mims said. "Your hopes and dreams and challenges will grow. So many things will change. But always remember that the timeless virtues apply equally to all persons at all times in all places. They are not circumstantial. They will not change. After the revolution, they will stand."
Among the 301 students in the class of 2013, 100 earned Bachelor of Arts degrees, 175 earned Bachelor of Science degrees and 26 are scheduled to complete degree requirements during summer school sessions, which conclude Aug. 2. The college's interim president, Roy W. Ferguson Jr., conferred the degrees at the ceremony.
Eight members of the class graduated summa cum laude - the top academic honor, which requires at least a 3.9 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. Five graduates earned magna cum laude honors - 3.7 or better average. Cum laude honors, requiring a 3.4 grade point average, were earned by 64 graduates. In addition, academic honors at each level require students to meet certain standards on a comprehensive exam; those earning summa cum laude and magna cum laude also must achieve required grade levels on an honors project.
Bridgewater College is a private, four-year liberal arts college located in the Central Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Founded in 1880, it was the state's first private, co-educational college. Today, Bridgewater College is home to approximately 1,750 undergraduate students.

PITTSBURGH - There was an epidemic of unqualified medical advice on Tuesday.
It was the day after Ben Roethlisberger's shoulder injury, and everyone had an opinion.
The consensus was this was extremely bad news for the Pittsburgh Steelers and their hopes of winning the AFC North.
The Steelers play the first of two games in three weeks against the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field this Sunday night.
For at least this week, it's likely they'll have Byron Leftwich at quarterback, backed up by Charlie Batch. Roethlisberger is officially listed as questionable for the game, but nobody expects him to play at this point.
How important is Roethlisberger to the Steelers? The big question last week was who other than Roethlisberger was the team's most valuable player at the mid-point of the season.
It's a huge issue if he can't go, as the Steelers' season may be defined by the next three weeks, the two Baltimore games with a visit to Cleveland in the middle week.
Leftwich has won before in the NFL, and so has Batch. It just seems like too tall a task for them on a team that has been close to ordinary in so many other ways.
Other leftovers from Monday night:
n Once again Mike Wallace had a magic moment. This time he made an unlikely one-handed grab of a pass in the end zone, then shifted the ball between his knees, maintaining control as he fell to the ground and ultimately tumbled out of bounds.
It was a phenomenal play, and the Steelers' only touchdown in the game. It was also the only significant contribution Wallace made. It would be nice if he could be involved with three or four important plays during games.
n Guard Willie Colon, who was called for four penalties in an earlier game, hit the bad jackpot again with flags. After he was called for holding, he added another 15 yards by getting an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for cursing the official.
This is completely unacceptable. Colon has been around long enough that he shouldn't be giving up 30 unearned yards on one snap. That kind of mistake would be bad enough for a rookie. It's inexcusable for a veteran to lose his composure like that.
n The Chiefs really enjoyed running at the left side of the Steelers' defense. The NFL was watching and taking notes.
n All's well that ends well, but how did an inept Kansas City offense drive 51 yards for the tying field goal with no timeouts in the last two minutes? Ike Taylor gave up a 27-yard completion on fourth down to let the Chiefs get in field goal range.
n His field goals of 35, 31 and 23 yards weren't especially tough, but thank goodness for the consistency of Shaun Suisham on a night when the offense wasn't clicking.

4 Reasons Why the Best Multiplayer Games Are All Broken
#2. Return Fire
There was a period in the mid-'90s where gamers were all about "roster games." I'm not entirely sure what their official name is, but you've probably played one: The basic conceit is that each side has a list of characters/units/vehicles/horse carts, and the two sides send one out to fight the other until a player's roster is completely destroyed. The roster games spanned lot of different genres -- from strategy to fighting -- but my personal favorites will always be Star Control 2 and Return Fire. But while Star Control was an arguably excellent series, presenting an in-depth single-player mode as well as a carefully balanced, exhaustive list of unique ships for the multiplayer, Return Fire did it better.
By doing none of those things.
It was a multiplayer only (you could fight an AI opponent, but this was back in the day, remember; fighting '90s AI was like whipping dodge balls at a special needs class) capture the flag game, and each player had the same four units: a helicopter, a tank, an APC and a jeep. You could not pick your own units, and each unit was pretty much only suited to fight one other unit. He brings out his helicopter? You bring out your tank. He brings out his APC? You bring out your tank. He brings out his tank? Tank. Tank? Tank.
Source."HELLO, COPTER! Shit, are we doing a different thing now?"
And so it went, all the way up until the end, when you were both locked into another choice: helicopter/jeep. The jeep was the weakest unit, and the only one capable of capturing the flag, and the helicopter was the only one that could catch the jeep. So the game gave you the illusion of a choice, but it always came down to who ran out of tanks first, and then ended with that guy in a tiny jeep leaving a dappled trail of fear urine as he got mowed down by the trail of rapidly approaching explosions emanating from the helicopter behind him.
It was pure chicanery on the part of the developers. It was precisely the kind of thing we gamers hate. It was artificially inflated difficulty, not true skill, and blah, blah, blah. You already know that it was friggin' brilliant: Every match ended with the ultimate underdog going up against the very flapping embodiment of death. Return Fire knew that the key to a good gaming experience is the same as in stand-up comedy and my sex life: Always go out on a laugh. The game had no basic balancing, no variety, and transparently manipulative rules, but every single time you brought out your jeep, "Flight of the Bumblebee" started playing, and you could guarantee that the next five minutes would be spent laughing, swearing and white-knuckling the controller until your mom came in to see if you were overdosing on whippits again.
#1. NFL Blitz 2000
I don't sports.
I don't play, watch, care about or understand sports. At all. I do not sports.
But the single most fun I've ever had with any game, in the history of ever, was playing 2 vs. 2 on NFL Blitz 2000 for the Nintendo 64. And that's saying a lot, because the N64 was nothing but a multiplayer monster. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that true, old school, in-person multiplayer gaming died with the N64. That's not even meant to bash modern systems, it's just that the bastard had GoldenEye, Wrestlemania, Mario Kart -- what can you do about that? The N64 brought a nuclear bomb to a slap fight. And NFL Blitz 2000 was the switchblade that nuclear bomb pulled on you, just to see the shock on your face, right before it exploded. That system and game combination were specially engineered to accomplish a single, noble goal: to put one console and four controllers in every frat house on earth.
And they did it. It wasn't just a marketing feat; it was a social revolution. The ubiquitousness of Blitz finally gave hardline, non-sports nerds like myself something in common with frat-joining, beer-bonging, football-understanding jocks. And that's all, because it failed completely as a sports game. NFL Blitz had as much to do with football as pachinko -- there's a little round thing that bounces around inside of both, and if you're drunk enough, you can bet on it.
Source."WHAT? Did you see that bounce? That was bullshit!"
Thanks to the most malevolent rogue AI since Shodan, Blitz wasn't even a game so much as a roulette table that let you reach in and slap the wheel once in a while. The computer in Blitz turned on you more often than a Game of Thrones character, and it did it all in a misguided effort to keep things "balanced." But it did not result in balance: It resulted in every fourth quarter being absolutely littered with inexplicable fumbles, miracle interceptions and whole teams dive-tackling straight through wide receivers like they were the ghosts of greased pigs.
Source.Seriously. It's like Jerry Rice crashed his car into a KY factory. (Thanks for the football guy name, Wikipedia!)
The blatant, obvious fuckery on the part of the computer gave every player a collective villain to rally against. That, combined with the team-based nature of the game, made for the most instant, die-hard camaraderie this side of a foxhole. I've got a joke for you: What did the skinhead say to the Jew after their team lost at NFL Blitz?
"You did your best, man; there was just too much bullshit. Rematch!"
Because that's what everybody says. You want world peace? Easy. We could settle every dispute in history by putting two guys on one side of a Blitz game. That loss bonds for life.
Well, I imagine, anyway. I never actually lost a game of Blitz, I've just watched others lose to me so often that I've managed to observe a pattern through the profanity and broken sobbing. (It's called Hurricane, bitches; I multipass that shit like Leeloo Dallas).
So what, am I totally off base here? What are your best moments in multiplayer games? When you relay those anecdotes to other gamers, are they all about finely tuned, well-balanced and expertly executed big name properties? Because I think a great multiplayer game is like a childhood fistfight: The good ones always involve insane shenanigans, rock-stupid mistakes and the occasional bloody nose.

Product Details
Our Signature Blackout Roller Shades put a fashion-forward face on privacy and total light blockage. This collection consists of a wide assortment of on-trend solids, trendy tweeds, bold stripes and fresh patterns. They come in a wide range of hues ranging from sophisticated neutrals to cotton-candy colors.
Signature Roller Blackout Shades are great for media rooms and bedrooms, eliminating nearly all sunlight from entering your room, while lending the look of sleek custom shades. They are available with an assortment of lifts and can be customized with an optional decorative valance.
Install Time: 12 - 15 minutes
We Recommend:
For inside mounts, you can avoid light gaps on the sides of the shades by ordering side channels. Side channels are window-frame-mounted add-ons, which eliminate the light gaps on the sides of the shade. These side channels have a sticky backing which allows you to apply them to your window easily.
Add a beaded chain to lift heavier or larger-scale shades.
The hassle-free, cordless spring tension roller option eliminates the possibility of cord entanglement
Motorization makes lifting your shades as easy as pressing a remote control.
If you would like the fabric of your shade to feed over the top rather than from the back, specify a reverse roll at no extra charge. Ideal if your shade needs to pass in front of a window or handle.
Consider ordering a valance for the top of your shade. Valances add a finishing touch to your window treatment and elevate the look of your room.
A reverse roll cannot be used in conjunction with a valance.
Inside-mounted roller shades will have an approximate 1" vertical "light gap" between the edge of the fabric and the window casing the cord-loop side and up to a 5/8" light gap on the other side. This is because the fabric must be cut narrower than the operating mechanisms at the top.
Choose the single channel remote if you want to operate a single shade or a group of shades together or choose the 5 channel remote if you want to operate 5 shades individually. For example if you are buying three shades and want to operate them together as a group, only order one single channel remote. If you want to operate all three shades separately from each other, order only one 5 channel remote.

How to openslide a guitar pick or something along the outside of the lcd, you should be able to open the top half. There are 2 screws under the arrows of the D-dap so force that off to get to them, the rest is easy. The battery is the only interesting thing under the PCB so dont take it out unless you really want to.

Forty support group leaders, co-leaders, representatives, and IMF staff participated in the fourth annual IMF Support Group Leader Retreat, held June 27-29 at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The retreat lived up to the expectations of regular attendees of past retreats. This was the first retreat experience for nearly half of the group. Judging by their reactions, we expect to see them regularly at future IMF retreats.
On Saturday morning, Susie set an upbeat tone for the meeting with a brief history of the retreats, progress in the management of myeloma, a look at new programs, and the role of support groups. She highlighted the availability of Velcadetm, the first new drug for myeloma in many years, and how IMFers helped gain rapid approval of this drug.
In keeping with the successful format of previous retreats, the first half of the morning was dedicated to group introductions and expectations each group brought to the retreat. After the open discussion, "What Works – What doesn't", it was time for the first of the invited speakers.
Patty Delaney of the Food and Drug Administration described her role within the FDA. Due to plane difficulties, Patty had to use the telephone to share her message. Thanks to the quick work of Mike Katz and staff, the PowerPoint slides Patty prepared were easily shared with the attendees. The presentation was an insightful look at the role of the FDA from the start of the drug approval process, through approval, and follow-up post-approval drug use. She clarified some of the limitations faced by the FDA throughout the process, particularly the inability to respond due to many legal restrictions.
Next, Dr. Brian Durie provided an update on the International Myeloma Workshop held in Salamanca, Spain. He was able to place a perspective on the hot issues in myeloma research as well as those areas that appear to be losing favor as additional information is compiled. Several very hopeful concepts were presented that we will likely hear more about in the near future.
The first afternoon session focused on loss and grief issues facing support groups. Since most myeloma support groups do not have professional facilitators, it can be difficult to handle the loss of fellow members.
Jon Seskevich RN, BSN, BA, CHTP Nurse Clinician, Duke University Health System focused on, "The Vital Quartet: Safe, Sane Complementary Therapies for Inquiring Patients." Jon focused on the negative impacts of stress and identified a variety of stress management techniques. Stress management gains increased importance when we realized that 50% - 80% of all diseases are stress related. A ten-minute relaxation was said to have the impact of a half-hour nap! You can access much of what Jon presented by visiting his website at www.managestressnow.com.
The pre-dinner cocktail reception provided a nice transition between the work of the day and the anticipation of a relaxing dinner. Following dinner, Greg Brozeit presented an interesting discussion on "Cancer and Public Policy: The Importance of Advocacy." His remarks were punctuated with a variety of experiences in his years working in the offices and hallways of Washington. He pointed out the value of advocacy, particularly if done at the right time and in support of a visible project. A good share of the viability of a project lies in the eyes of what congressional representatives and senators feel they can support. His best example of this is the IMF participation with more than forty groups in the One Voice Against Cancer coalition. Our retreat ended late Sunday morning after an exceptionally well-prepared and presented discussion on the development of Velcadetm by Millennium Pharmaceuticals Medical Director, Dr. Beth Trehu. Her many years of experience as a practicing oncologist nicely complemented her new role.
Note: Chuck Koval, a co-leader of the Wisconsin Multiple Myeloma Support Group, can be reached via email at email@example.com. For a list of multiple myeloma support groups throughout the U.S. and around the world, please contact the IMF.

MSITE Science educator, Tammy Lee, has authored an article, Close Encounters of the Amphibious Kind: Frog Calls across Ponds and across Disciplines. This article has been published this month (February) in Science and Children. The articles details a half-day 5E lesson integrating two of the disciplinary core ideas (DCI) from the Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS): physical science (PS4-A) and life science (LS2.D) within an informal science environment (summer science camp). These two DCIs were integrated to demonstrate how science disciplines work together within the natural world. In the real world, science disciplines do not exist in isolation (NRC, 2012). The integration of science concepts was demonstrated by exploring how animals use sound to communicate messages (life science), with students using vibrating materials (physical science) to mimic these animal calls (sounds). Then as an extension, students played a game (non-laboratory experience) to illustrate how "being a part of group helps animals obtain food, defend themselves, and cope with changes" (NGSS,2013).

Descriptive Astronomy Students Stargaze in Ayden
Two nights this November, Bonnie Glass' Descriptive Astronomy students ventured to Ayden to view the night sky at A Time for Science. Nancy and John Bray set up telescopes, shared stories behind the constellations, and discussed ways these pre-service teachers could use these tales to integrate language and science. They explored other activities appropriate for teaching Earth-Space Systems and learned how A Time for Science could be a field trip destination for their future science students. Students were photographed by the Pitt County Chamber of Commerce and may be included in their annual brochure in the highlight on local STEM activities.
Some of these same students, Tim Maynard, Eddie Enoch and Amanda Myer, returned to volunteer their time at A Time for Science. These students led groups of 3rd graders from Sam Bundy Elementary School as they built straw rockets. They were joined by students from Mrs. Glass' SCIE 3216, Jenny Hodgin, Alisha Spivey and Kristen Snyder. Thanks to all these students for serving the community in this way. They were great ambassadors for ECU and the Science Education program!
Family Science Night in Local School -A Blast From the Past!
Elementary Science Concentration students within the Informal Science Course this semester designed and implemented a Family Science Night for Eastern Elementary School in Pitt County. On November 14th, Elementary Science Concentration students held a Family Science Night entitled, A Blast from the Past, in which activities focused on contributions of scientists which have impacted our world. Examples of stations consisted of Neil Degrasse Tyson, famous astrophysicist, demonstrating discoveries of new planets through exploring a virtual telescope, Alexander Graham Bell, making and using telephones (demonstrating how sound travels), and Issac Newton, second law of motion (F=ma), using tarps to explore how much force is needed to pull students across the gym floor. Students and parents rotated through 9 stations that evening learning of various scientists and their contributions to science. It was a very successful night with over 140 participants (students and parents) joining us for a night of science.
Science Education Club Hosts Guest Speakers
The Science Education Club held its second meeting November 4, 2013. Guest Speakers Cheryl Olmsted, Assistant Superintendent of Pitt County Schools, and Seth Brown, Teacher Support Staff of Pitt County Schools, discussed key information about applying for jobs, the interview process, and your first year of teaching. Lots of resources and helpful tips were provided.
The next Science Education Club meeting will be held December 2, 2013 in Flanagan 312 from 7-8pm. We have an awesome lineup of guest speakers to share information, and the Leadership Team will discuss some important things happening within the club.
Please join us and help celebrate the end of the semester. Sweets and treats will be provided in lure of the holiday season.

Oops, something didn't work.
thats really cool
ive been using pex for a while and its really quite amazing how complex tests it can create
put (x: ELEMENT; key: STRING) is -- Insert x so that it will be retrievable through key. require count <= capacity not key.empty do ... Some insertion algorithm ... ensure has (x) item (key) = x count = old count + 1 end
Also. I don't quite agree that ensurances should come first (contrary to Eiffel), but granted, using the embedded technique where ther contracts are blended in with the rest of the code, it may be a better technique for readability. Maybe.
It's also striking how much use of contracts can be devoted to the type constraint for reference types that nullness not be part of the domain. How nice it would be with a simple language extension, even if only interpreted as a contract
add (Point! x)
It's again the annoying wrong-default situation; as with of nullness over non-nullness there's also the variance over invariance (well, im/mutability if you will).
That Code contracts actually implements the old- and result-semantics is very nice.
Can we now expect .Net to be littered with Code Contracts all over for increased code correctness?
(oops, there goes the beautiful formatting heh)
Yes - Code Contracts is the contract feature of .net 4.0 and Pex can already handle .net 4.0 processes. Since the Contracts API is still evolving there might be a difference between the .net 4.0 CTP release and the latest Code Contracts download (which Pex

In response to Colleen Laurent's letter to the editor about off-leash dogs, I completely agree. I also keep my dog leashed when I walk her on the street, but for different reasons. She is 10 years old; when she was 1 year old, she was hit and run over by a car. She was off-leash. Her hip and rear left leg were shattered. We were lucky she lived through it and the subsequent surgeries. Today she continues to limp and carry her rear leg, walking mainly on three.
For the people of Truckee who walk their dogs off-leash: Do it on the trails - not on the street. My dog is docile and can't run very fast, so I'll let her run off-leash on trails when I'm with her, but on the street, that would be asking for trouble.
Even more of a concern are those who do not even walk with their dogs, but simply let them out to walk themselves. Not only are there aggressive dogs roaming about, but there are coyotes out there that can kill your dog, and if a coyote doesn't, a car very well could. Visitors to our town are not familiar with the roads and generally drive too fast for conditions - even in the summer. Surgery for a dog can cost more than $8,000. Can you afford that? Are you willing to make the decision to put your dog to sleep because you cannot afford the veterinary costs?
As an aside, why do people bag their dog poo only to leave it on the side of a hiking trail? Who do you think is going to clean up after you? That is like using a toilet but not flushing.

I'm going to miss it when our tree branches are no longer weighted down to the floor with three ornaments per branch and laminated reindeer heads with tiny school pictures.
It's so easy to forget. I know this because already I hold a ceramic blob made in art and I don't remember if it was Noah's or Carter's. The blue Hallmark Baby's First Christmas ornament... I can't recall whose first it was. I look at our tree, uneven and I suppose not exactly how I prefer it to look, but I imagine my mom, and my mother-in-law decorating their trees just so, how they like it. Perfect and without the assistance of small children. And I know all too soon that will be me someday. I already miss this.

BRADENTON, Fla. - This was the busiest week of the spring training season at McKechnie Field, and, unfortunately, it also produced some of the coolest weather we've experienced here for a few years.
From Sunday, March 3 through Saturday, March 9, the Pirates played six games in seven days at McKechnie. The Astros, Phillies, Rays, Orioles and Twins all came to town, and the Bucs also welcomed the Spanish National Team for an exhibition game.
Most of the Grapefruit League games began with temperatures anywhere from 52 to 58, which is about 10-15 degrees cooler than normal for this time of the year in Florida. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining because I've heard about the weather you guys have been getting up north.
Still a couple of weeks to go in the Grapefruit League season, and it's tough to get a gauge on the Bucs. Because of the World Baseball Classic, some teams, including the Pirates, seem to be altering their workout schedules this spring. Clint Hurdle has rarely played his regulars in back-to-back games and more than 60 players are still in big league camp, although the Bucs are expected to begin making cuts by the end of the weekend.
Among the more impressive Bucs in camp, to my eye, are Starling Marte, Gaby Sanchez and Jose Tabata, among the position players, and pitchers Jared Hughes, Jeff Locke and James McDonald. Former No. 1 pick Gerrit Cole pitched three scoreless innings and struck out six straight batters against Team Spain, but the Spanish lineup had only two former major leaguers. Unless something unexpected happens, Cole will open the season in Indianapolis but could be with the big club before the end of the season.
By now, Jean and Joan have secured most of the Pirates autographs. They also added Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, now a coach with the Phillies, along with Dominic Brown and John Lannan of the Phils, Brett Wallace and Tyler Greene of the Astros
Former NFL coach and current NFL analyst Tony Dungy paid a visit to the Pirates this past week. Dungy spoke to all of the players in both the major and minor league camps, stressing the importance of becoming a good teammate.
The Penn State Altoona baseball team was in the area for its own spring training, and we bumped into freshman pitcher Derek Totaro and his family from Lancaster who were here for the Pirates-Phillies game.
Several Altoona area folks have been around the ballpark recently. Tom Smith, one of my Thursday morning breakfast buddies, and a couple of his friends, broke away from the Penn State watch to come down for a few days. John and Gail Austin were here with Jim and Patty Ross and Bill and Judy Duey. Larry Stitt, Jim Klausman and Dave Claar as well as Al and Kathy Ansman were seen, along with Dr. Phil and Paula Hall. We've spent time with former baseball buddy Charley Hess and wife Linda, who now live in Chambersburg. We also had dinner with an old college roommate, John Turner and his wife, Judy, from Greenville.
Restaurants recently visited by our group included Popi's VI, Primo's Restorante in Sarasota, the Anna Maria Oyster Bar and Demetrios' Pizza House.
We also made our annual trip to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City where the featured entertainment was country stars Neal McCoy and Trace Adkins. We plan to return Sunday when entertainer of the year Blake Shelton will perform.
Until next week

Sometimes it's the simple things that are the most beautiful. This is a tiny birdhouse attached to the front of one of our cabins. I'm not sure if our groundskeeper placed the nest there, or if it was the work of a mother bird. I'd like to think it was the mother bird!

Dorchester 4 Superintendent Jerry Montjoy has been poring over his rural school district's test scores trying to figure out why its letter grade dropped.
Exit exams
What it is: The High School Assessment Program test, or exit exam, is given in English/language arts and math. Students typically take the test during their second year of high school.
Why it matters: Students must pass the state's exit exam to earn a diploma. It also is used in the calculation of schools' ratings on the state report card and in schools' grades for federal accountability status.
Results: The following shows the percentage of students who passed both exams on their first attempt in 2013 compared with the previous year.
District 2012 2013
Berkeley 81.2 83.5
Charleston 82.9 83.2
Dorchester 2 87.5 86.0
Dorchester 4 69.1 74.6
State 80.1 82.0
S.C. Department of Education
The district's 91.7 "A" fell to a 77.8 "C," and that's mostly because of its high school, Woodland High, he said. Its letter grade dropped from a 73 "C" to a 48.8 "F."
"The high school data brought the whole district down," he said.
One of the problems is the graduation rate used to determine the letter grades, he said. The state uses schools' 2011-12 rates because the ones from the 2012-13 school year aren't yet available. Woodland High saw its rate fall from nearly 7 percentage points to 71.5 percent last year, but Montjoy expects the rate this year to be about 80 percent.
Most of the district's other test scores were what Montjoy said he expected to see.
"We still want to be an 'A,' and whatever we have to do to make that happen, we're going to do that," he said.
The district saw some big gains in its middle grades, particularly in English/language arts, and he attributed those to a new reading program. The district's math scores for sixth- and seventh-graders fell from last year, and he said that will be a focus this year. Schools will use a new math program with its struggling students.
An additional 20-student pre-kindergarten class should help ensure more children are ready for kindergarten, and most students who are on waiting lists should be served, he said.
Other programs that should be beneficial to students include a new Project Lead the Way curriculum at St. George Middle and a partnership between Woodland High and Trident Technical College, he said.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - For the ninth year in a row the Crown Room of the Crystal Bay Casino is the place to be for a Halloween dance party. The Creeper's Ball returns with Tainted Love. The Halloween costume party has become a Tahoe tradition. There will be $500 in cash prizes for the best costumes. All tickets are $25 and advance purchase is strongly advised as this party sells out well in advance every year.At the beginning of the 1980s - with the fall of disco and the commercial demise of punk rock - music took a turn into what was dubbed, "one of the most romantic periods in the history of popular music." Musicians abandoned their guitars and traditional drum kits for the latest in state-of-the-art technology: synthesizers drum machines, and special effects. They donned a more androgynous look known as "New Romantic." The result was music alive with sensual crooning, searing synthesizers, pulsating bass lines and pounding electronic drums, carrying a message of love, politics and sexual being. Thus was created a "New Wave" of pop and dance music, when bands like Duran Duran, Eurythmics, The Cure, and the Thompson Twins were on the cutting edge. The 1980s also saw a multitude of unforgettable "one-hit-wonders" such as Modern English, Gary Numan, and Dexy's Midnight Runners. Tainted Love, the seven-piece outfit from San Francisco, brings you back to the days when keyboards ruled the airwaves, cascading hairdos were commonplace and outlandish fashions lit up the pioneering early days of MTV. With a stellar lineup of three high-energy singers driven by a power house band whose credentials include Pride & Joy, Super Diamond, Car Wash, Panama, and Yah-Yah Littleman, Tainted Love delivers a non-stop 80s live show featuring "Hungry Like the Wolf," "I Melt With You," "Obsession," and "Safety Dance."

Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone filled another key position on his staff with Monday's hiring of Danny Crossman as the Bills' special teams coordinator.
Crossman, 45, has eight years of NFL experience as a special teams coordinator, including the last three with the Detroit Lions. From 2005-09, he had the same job with the Carolina Panthers.
Crossman, 45, and Marrone, 48, were teammates in 1991 with the London Monarchs in the World League of American Football. They served together on the same coaching staff in 1993 at the Coast Guard Academy.
"The relationships that you build as players are obviously very important and special. You go through a lot of adversity in this game, so we remained close," Marrone said in a news release from the team announcing Crossman's hire. "… Really we have come from the bottom up through this industry. We have stayed close and we have come to this point where we can work together again. He brings great enthusiasm to the room and he brings experience."
Crossman inherits a special teams unit that was generally strong under former coordinator Bruce DeHaven.
The Bills finished first in punt return average (17.1 yards per return), fourth in kickoff return average (27.0 yards per return) and 12th in made field goal percentage at 87.5. That number was higher until the season finale against the New York Jets, when kicker Rian Lindell had two of his three misses on the year.
Provided the Bills are able to re-sign unrestricted free agent Leodis McKelvin, they have one of the top returners in the NFL. McKelvin returned two punts for touchdowns in 2012, and led the league with an 18.7-yard average.
"There are those in both the NFL and college who just have the innate ability to make big plays. Some guys are blessed with it and some are not," Crossman said in the team's release. "It is exciting to look at a guy with that caliber and possibly have the opportunity to work with as well as the other positions of the unit here."
One area the Bills will have to improve is on punt coverage, where they allowed two return touchdowns (the kickoff coverage unit also allowed one).
The team finished last in the league by giving up an average of 14.8 yards per punt return. Buffalo's net punting average with Brian Moorman and Shawn Powell was 37.8 yards, second worst in the NFL to the 37.1 yards averaged by Crossman's unit in Detroit.
The swirling winds of Ralph Wilson Stadium can make the kicking and punting games more of a challenge than they are indoors at Ford Field in Detroit.
"Weather can impact special teams greatly," Crossman said, "and that is one of the things you never know until the morning of a game. We will have the ability within our game plan to adjust accordingly for that day."
In Crossman's first season with the Lions, the team finished 15th in the special teams rankings compiled by the Dallas Morning News, which are accepted as the league standard. That number fell to 31st in the NFL in 2011.
The 2012 figures will not be released until next month.
Detroit this season averaged 31st on kickoff returns, 22nd on punt returns, 19th on opponent's average start after a kickoff, 14th in kickoff coverage, 32nd in net punting and 18th in punt coverage. The Lions were the only team in the league to allow four return touchdowns in 2012.
"Many games are won and lost with special teams. It was important to our players and the organization to hire someone with experience. You want to make sure that you have someone that has experience and that can evaluate the full roster so that we know that we are getting the most out of our special teams units," Marrone said. "It is obviously one third of the game and it is a very important part of it. That person has to deal with everyone on the team."
The website footballoutsiders.com also does its own special teams rankings, factoring in five elements from that phase of the game: field goals and extra points, kickoffs, kick returns, punts and punt returns.
Crossman's units' rankings were 11th, 29th, and 30th, respectively, the last three seasons. The Bills under DeHaven finished 17th, 24th and ninth.
Crossman's most successful season as a special teams coordinator came in his first, 2005 with the Panthers. That year, Carolina finished ninth in the Morning News rankings and fifth according to footballoutsiders.
Last season with Detroit, Lions kicker Jason Hanson set a franchise record with 134 points. Over the previous three seasons, safety John Wendling, a former Bill, tied for the NFL lead with 51 special teams tackles.
Crossman has 20 years of coaching experience overall, 10 each in the NFL and collegiate ranks.
"The thing I am excited about for what Danny will bring to our special teams is a system that plays to our players' strengths," Marrone said. "For our players, we are going to be able to evaluate what their strengths are and be able to put them in the best position possible for us to win."

I could be looking too far into it but it seems strange to me that one payroll goes up and the other seems to be slowly rolling backwards in terms of cap hit. It's 2013 and I realize there is a cap but we are not even in the top ten for payroll and not in the top 10 in wins.
It could also be that Ilitch has always had even before the salary cap era a self imposed salary cap of around 60 million with the exception of 2002. I guess we will see if they go over 60 next year.
Teams that used to be nowhere near the talent level as Detroit are now spending more than we are.
It's rediculous the amount of money he is spending on the Tigers vs the Wings
I am a Wings slappy but I truly believe they will not make the playoffs this year. A spade is a spade.

At an unexpected moment every day I am reminded that Gray won't be "the baby" for long. Although I still call all my boys my babies, he won't be the baby anymore. And he's been the baby for a while now.
Every day is getting better with this kid. We have had some rough times. Some drama. Ok, a lot of drama. From the moment he wakes in the morning to the moment he fights sleep at night. But each day is better. Each morning brings a bigger smile and less tears.
Maybe he's finally getting the hang of this being a two year old thing. It can't be easy, I suppose. What with being waited on hand and foot and loved every moment of the day... imagine! But it's a lot of life and living and being loved by so many people to take in around here. A lot of learning that the world doesn't necessarily spin and stop when he wants it to, and that cookies are not to be eaten for breakfast or even lunch for that matter. Only sometimes.
But look at this kid's smile. The fact that I'm seeing it more and more is a light in my day. I was concerned the scowl and brood was going to be his signature look. This baby is, gulp, turning into a boy.
A boy.
Goodbye to his tears and hello to mine.
