Misspelling of the world "schlong," or penis. Probably derived from the German "schlange" for snake, which, pronounced in German, must have sounded like "schlong" to native English speakers.
Wow, that horse has got a pretty huge schlong. I don't know if those fifth graders on their field trip to the zoo should be seeing this.

Gstaad Mountain Rides, that means skiing, snowboarding and hiking up to an altitude of 3000 m. 53 mountain lifts and cableways provide access to 220 km of slopes, sled & toboggan runs, snowparks and panoramic winter hiking trails. With authentic landscapes, splendid sun terraces and trendy snow bars it's all certainly well worth a visit.
The geographical location of Lausanne couldn't be more picturesque: as Olympic capital, built on three hills, at the feet of connoisseurs, it is surrounded by vineyards and provides a clear view to the Alps, which, depending on the weather, are reflected on the surface of the water - an unforgettable panorama. The medieval city centre has many small alleys and boutiques - in contrast to the pulsating modern part of the city - which exert an inspiring influence on business people and creative craftspersons alike.
From MacGillivray Freeman Films, producers of the blockbuster hit Everest, comes the giant screen story of THE ALPS: its breathtaking beauty, harmonious culture, perilous avalanches and irresistible allure to a mountaineer on a personal journey to make peace with the mountain that killed his father.
Art and architecture enthusiasts will find both historic sites and various examples of the latest architectural styles in Switzerland. Big names, such as Mario Botta, Herzog and de Meuron, Jean Nouvel can be found alongside buildings from the Middle Ages, both secular and religious works. It's easy to spend hours or even days in countless museums and galleries, both large and small.

Even though Cola has had more than his fair share of injuries - he's a reliable Dman that could be a #4 guy for us...Might be a smart move to sign him, and why not take a chance on Cam Barker?
Though Arnott is big, he's not a physical player. Doesn't take much to get him off his spot. Major injury liability as well. No way I sacrifice playing time of some of your young guys for him.
Seems to me, Coliacovo would be a decent fit for the wings if you could get him on a one year deal. He can eat some minutes and hold his own fairly well. A pretty good stop gap for one year until more opens up next offseason. JMO

As 2012 draws to a close, we suspect the reaction of many area residents is good riddance.
To say 2012 has been a tough year is an understatement. While the economy slowly improved and the nation made it peacefully through a divisive presidential election, the year will be remembered largely for tragedies both nationally and locally.
Nationally, 2012 brought the terrible massacres in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., and an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. The scope and the senselessness of these brutal attacks shock the conscience and leave us dumbfounded as to why the suspects could see these massacres as a reasonable way to express their grievances.
Sadly, attacks by gunmen were not limited to these major crimes. It seems almost daily that we hear of another incident somewhere in the United States in which a person - often a family member or a police officer - has been killed by gunfire.
Violent acts also have dealt a blow to the area. Just as we were getting ready to celebrate Christmas, three murders by a suspect who later died in a shootout with police dampened the joy of the holidays.
Kimberly A. Scott of Duncansville was decorating for a Christmas party at the Juniata Valley Gospel Church when she was struck by a bullet fired by Jeffrey Lee Michael, 44, of Hollidaysburg.
Michael then fatally shot Kenneth Lynn and his son-in-law, William Rhodes Jr., both of Geeseytown, before dying in a gun battle with state police.
A little more than a month earlier, another horrible crime - this time an arson - took the life of 3-year-old Darrel "D.J." Etchison Jr.
D.J., his mother and 2-year-old sister were sleep upstairs in their East End home, when Aaron Wilson Dishong broke in and set the living room ablaze, allegedly in an attempt to kill a former girlfriend. The ex-paramour had stayed there but was not there the night of the fire.
While his mother and sister were able to escape, D.J. was trapped in the house. City firefighters rescued him, but he died later at the hospital.
Dishong later killed himself in the Blair County Prison.
Regrettably, these weren't the only families grieving over lives cut short.
Neal Hammond, 15, of the Everett area was killed when he and two friends were playing with a handgun in July. Neal died after being shot in the head.
A similar situation, just days ago, claimed the life of another teenager. Jesse T. McElhinney, 16, of Altoona died Wednesday after being shot by a gun brought to his residence by a friend. Again, it appears playing with the gun led to the tragic outcome.
The deaths of these teenagers are reminders about the need to always treat guns like they are loaded and ready to fire, a lesson even experienced gun owners need to keep in mind.
Bob Ginter, 48, of Altoona, a experienced hunter, was found dead in May in his home after a handgun he was handling inexplicably went off.
All the families of the victims have our sympathies on their losses. For them and too many others, 2012 has been an emotionally painful year.
No one knows what 2013 will bring. But we hope the pattern of murders and gun accidents that have stained 2012 will not be repeated.
Peace on Earth is a common sentiment during the holiday season. Let each of us do our best to make sure that's our reality in the new year.

NEWFANE – A man found inside the warehouse of the town Highway Department on Monday afternoon claimed to live inside the facility, Niagara County sheriff's deputies reported.
Shortly before 4:30 p.m., an employee spotted a garage door open at the McKee Street facility and saw a man inside. Upon confronting the individual, he asked that the deputies not be called, saying he lived inside the building. He then disappeared through another door, prior to the arrival of police.
Deputies said the man may have used a "hidden key" to gain entry to the structure and that he had smoked some cigarettes and left a dessert roll on the seat of a town truck. The cigarette butts and food item were taken to be tested for DNA and fingerprints, deputies said. Nothing else appeared to have been disturbed inside the building.

Nearly two-thirds of Ohio voters supported public employee unions in the election earlier this month. At the same time, all over the Buckeye State, voters made it more difficult for school boards and other local government entities to meet union demands.
Two thoughts seemed to rule the electorate on Election Tuesday: First, by agreeing to rescind the SB 5 law, voters said they want unions to continue to be able to make expensive demands of government bodies such as school boards. But second, by rejecting most local tax initiatives, voters seemed to indicate they are willing to spend only bare minimums for government services.
Unfortunately, those are not two unrelated tracks of thinking. They are contradictory views headed toward each other on the same track - and collisions will be inevitable. In fact, some already are occurring, as school districts, some in our area, have to lay off employees because of the high cost of union contracts.
It needs to be noted that in some cases union members have made substantial sacrifices in order to avoid layoffs of their peers.
Such teamwork between unions and management becomes increasingly difficult as school and other local government budget crunches become tighter, however. And they are growing worse in many school districts. Just 22 percent of the school tax issues on local ballots last week were approved by voters. That means educators will have to find ways - perhaps including union concessions - to balance the books.
SB 5 resulted in a head-to-head battle involving Gov. John Kasich and the General Assembly on one side, with organized labor on the other.
Clearly, however, that cannot be the last chapter in reforming rules for public employee collective bargaining. Now, union leaders and the politicians need to get their heads together to devise changes in reaction to an electorate that seems to be demanding more from local and state governments - but wants to pay less for it.

According to police reports, a jealous ex-boyfriend is accused of trying to hire a hit man to hurt his ex-girlfriend.
The ex-boyfriend came into town to visit some friends. While out for drinks with the friends, the ex-boyfriend asked them if they would be willing to take money in return for hurting his ex-girlfriend.
They, of course, said no and they all parted ways. But these friends could not live with the knowledge they now had, the report states.
So according to the police report, the friends told the ex-girlfriend what went down.
The friends told her that the ex-boyfriend was willing to pay them $3,000 to break her legs and do her harm.
The friends said they were going to report it to the police, but wanted to warn her first.
The police spoke to these friends who went on to say that the ex-boyfriend told them that he knew a crack head who would do it for $300 and it would save him money.
They said that this ex-boyfriend tried to get them to drive by the ex-girlfriend's house, according to the police report, and to go to all the bars she frequented. But they refused.
The friends told police that this fellow recently sold his car for $10,000 and had money on hand.
Police took the friends' statements so that charges against this ex-boyfriend could be brought.
A restaurant manager called police because a suspicious person was walking around in circles in the parking lot. This suspicious person, according to the report, would occasionally walk behind the restaurant.
The manager told police he first noticed the man when he was outside.
The suspect walked out from behind the business with a rain coat pulled over his head and pulled tightly around his face.
He did not enter the business at first, according to the manager.
He continued to walk around the parking lot in circles until another patron, sitting outside, asked the man where he was from. He said he was from New York.
Then the suspect said, "I'm not really from New York," and walked away.
The patron said the man seemed dirty and possibly homeless. They called police but the man was nowhere to be found after that.
A scared woman called police because a car was following her through her apartment complex.
She said she turned into the complex when a car came up fast behind her and tailgated her.
The victim told police she was frightened and didn't want this person to follow her to her apartment so she kept driving through the complex to a nearby grocery store.
She parked and got out of the car to confront the driver and the driver pulled up behind her car, stopped, honked and sped off.
She eventually drove home and what do you know, the car that had been following her was parked in the spot next to her car's appointed parking spot.
It turns out it was her neighbor, the report states.
She didn't know this woman, but reported it to the property manager.
According to the police report, the property manager told the victim that this woman had caused many problems in the complex.
The property manager told her that when this woman drinks and gets drunk, she becomes irate and disorderly.
The victim told police that she did not believe the woman followed her because they are neighbors, probably more likely because she was drunk.
The victim did not want to prosecute, but wanted the incident documented should there be another situation.
A store security officer watched a woman walk out of their store with a purse on her shoulder that she did not pay for.
He detained the woman and called police.
She told the officer that she had been shopping when all of the sudden she remembered she had a doctor's appointment.
She said she hurried out of the store so as not to be late for the appointment.
She said she still had the purse on her shoulder.
The manager said he would not press charges if the woman was placed on trespass notice.
A local cab driver agreed to pick up a fare at one bar and drive him to another.
When they arrived at the second bar, she told her passenger the tab was $13.
He then told her he did not have any money and was not going to pay her.
She explained to him that he needed to pay the fee or she would call police.
The man was sitting in the back seat of the taxi van and attempted to exit the van by climbing over the front seat.
The driver held her arm across the seat so he could not get through, but he pushed his way, crawled into the front passenger seat, pushed the driver's head into the window and got out of the van
He then went into the bar and left her there with no money.
She called police and when they arrived, she was visibly shaken.
Another officer went inside and spoke to the manager who said the man ordered a drink, chugged it down and told her he did not have a way to pay for it.
Police then questioned the man who said he did not take a cab.
The report said the man was unsteady on his feet and slurred his words.
The officer asked him if he attacked the cab driver, and he said he did not know.
The officer finally asked him if he had a way to pay for the cab or the bar tab and he stated no.
The bar manager did not want to pursue charges for the tab, but did want him placed on trespass notice.
He was charged with assault and battery 3rd and defrauding a cab driver.
Police were called to an apartment complex because a repo man was trying to tow a car and the couple who owned it, or used to, wouldn't let him.
In fact, they stood behind the car so he would have to run over them to get it out.
But then matters changed drastically.
The repo man went under the hood to check something and the male car owner intentionally slammed the hood down on the repo man's arm, according to a police report. In fact, police had already arrived when the man did this, and police witnessed the incident.
So, not only was the man's car repossessed, but also he was hauled off to jail for assault and battery.

On March 17th the International Myeloma foundation (IMF) established the Asian Myeloma Network (AMN) at a meeting in Singapore.
Composed of myeloma experts from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Rep. of Korea Singapore, and Thailand, the IMF Asian Myeloma Network—the first of its kind in the region—will take the lead in projects to assist IMF in providing physician education and patient support throughout Asia. Multiple Myeloma is a growing health problem in Asia, with an incidence that is approaching that in western countries, but with a much larger population base.
The initial focus of the network will be the development of a unified data base to assess the incidence of myeloma in Asian countries as a key step in the designing of region-specific treatment management tools and strategies. The IMF will provide help establishing this integrated Asian data base with the creation of a template for data entry. Intended future projects will include the establishment of Asian clinical trials, as well as the development of informational resource materials in local languages, especially for patients and care givers. The extensive library of educational materials and publications on the IMF website myeloma.org will be available as a guide.
A formal yearly meeting will be held to review the Network's progress and plan future projects; the next is scheduled for Shanghai, China in 2012.

LOCKPORT – Even though David J. Mongielo is guilty of violating the Town of Lockport sign ordinance, the auto shop owner is entitled to a new trial because of errors by the town justice who presided over his case, Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III has ruled.
In an eight-page ruling sent Monday to attorneys in the case, Murphy said Town Justice Raymond E. Schilling did not go through the proper procedure before allowing Mongielo to proceed without an attorney in the December 2011 trial that led to a 15-day jail sentence for violating the town's law against signs that change more than once every 10 minutes.
Murphy scolded Mongielo for "his petulant resolve to again ignore the ordinance when he saw fit. Mr. Mongielo was ill-advised to have engaged in such conduct, which was disdainful of both the trial court and the law."
Mongielo, whose Robinson Road shop has a video signboard, has served no jail time because his sentence was stayed pending an appeal, heard by Murphy on Sept. 21.
At that hearing, Town Prosecutor Bradley D. Marble acknowledged that Mongielo should have been offered a jury trial. Schilling, presiding at a nonjury trial, found Mongielo guilty of separate sign violations in 2010 and on March 20, when he issued a verdict from the Dec. 28 trial.
The town's ordinance says that any violation is a misdemeanor, which under New York law means the defendant is entitled to a jury trial.
Murphy barely mentioned that issue, instead concentrating on Schilling's failure to go through the "searching inquiry" required before a defendant is allowed to go to trial without a lawyer.
"While the transcript of that trial does demonstrate that sufficient legal evidence was presented to support the trial court's finding that Mr. Mongielo's guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt, that conviction must nevertheless be reversed and remanded for a new trial," Murphy wrote.
But the 2010 conviction stands because it wasn't appealed in time, Murphy wrote.
"We don't concede that my client committed the offenses," said Frank T. Housh, whom Mongielo hired after the second trial.
Frank LoTempio represented Mongielo at the 2010 trial, which ended with a conviction, a $750 fine and a one-year conditional discharge, any violation of which was to trigger a 15-day jail sentence for Mongielo.
Mongielo apparently thought the one-year discharge expired Aug. 24, 2011, the first anniversary of the verdict. His second violation of the sign law occurred Aug. 25, 2011, when Mongielo, who usually uses the video board for business purposes, advertised a fundraiser for an injured Niagara County sheriff's deputy.
Murphy said Mongielo apparently felt free to violate the sign law as soon as he thought he wouldn't have to risk a jail term for doing so.
But actually, Murphy said, the one-year clock started running the day Schilling announced the sentence, which was Sept. 14, 2010. Thus, the Aug. 25, 2011, offense made Mongielo eligible for a 15-day jail term, which Schilling imposed April 17.
Since the second conviction was reversed, so was the violation of the conditional discharge, Murphy ruled.

What a morning!
Temperatures fell to 69 degrees at Bush Intercontinental Airport today, making for a beautiful start to an August day. Highs this afternoon will rise into the mid-90s under ample sunshine.
The dry air we've been enjoying will give way to more humid air during the next 24 hours, so our brief taste of cooler mornings will come to an end.
Also, the Gulf disturbance we've been tracking dissipated during the last day and now poses no threat to the Texas or Mexico coasts.
As a result our rain chances will be low to non-existent for the next couple of days, before moisture returns by the middle of the week.
All in all it looks to be a seasonably warm August week, with the possibility of afternoon showers.

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.
New World Notes - Chris Hedges on Corporate Plunder and Popular Revolt (Part 2)
This week on New World Notes: radio program #237, September 18, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst plays the second part of a two-part digest of a powerful talk by Chris Hedges.
Journalist/commentator Chris Hedges traces the rise of the Corporate State, the destruction of democracy, and the corporate plunder of society. And he surveys successful examples of nonviolent popular rebellion.
This week, in Part Two, Hedges discusses the Obama Administration's assault on civil liberties--a way of suppressing both dissent and popular resistance to corporate plunder, he believes. He ends with examples of nonviolent popular resistance toppling oppressive systems--for instance in East Germany and Czechoslovakia.
Chris Hedges' latest book is Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt, co-authored with illustrator by Joe Sacco.
Chris Hedges spoke in Seattle on June 29, 2011. Our installments are adapted from the full talk, broadcast by Mike McCormick on Mind Over Matters (http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/61508). Thanks yet again to Mike.
Correction: In my introduction, I incorrectly say that Hedges denounces Democratic presidents Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. In fact he denounces Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "radar") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.
You can listen to any installment of New World Notes online or else download it (as an mp3 audio file) for later listening. The show is archived at both A-Infos Radio Project and (from #90 onwards) the Internet Archive. Either link should get you a reverse-chronological listing of available installments. Or browse the show's Web site: Each installment has a page; each page has links to the recorded audio; and a handy table of contents will quickly find the installment you want.
Series overview: Political and social commentary in a variety of genres. Exploring the gap between what we want--and what they're trying to make us settle for.

Deputies on Wednesday found a 25-year-old man shot to death on the sidewalk in South Sacramento County.
Shortly before 11:30 a.m., officials with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department were called to the 4200 block of East Nichols Avenue, according to a news release.
They found the victim -- whose name has not been released, pending family notification -- who had been shot in his upper body. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Homicide detectives are investigating.
A motive is unknown, and deputies are unable to release any information on the shooter.
Witness statements differed on a possible vehicle seen speeding away from the scene -- so that description wasn't provided, either.
Anyone with information asked to call 916-874-5115.

Not only is she beautiful, but Jennifer Lawrence is also incredibly sexy.
The 23-year-old Hunger Games actress has been crowned the Sexiest Woman in the World for 2014 by FHM, topping its annual list of the year's 100 hottest women from around the globe.
Coming in at a close second is U.K. actress Michelle Keegan, who says being on the list involves much more than having a pretty face and fantastic figure.
"I believe that being 'sexy' isn't wearing lots of heavy makeup or having the perfect hair or figure," Keegan, 26, says. "It's about self-confidence, being comfortable with yourself, smiling and being happy!"
Lawrence would likely agree – she has always been a strong advocate for girls embracing the skin they're in.
Rounding out the top five are Rihanna, Emily Ratajkowski and The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco.
Further down the list is Beyoncé at No. 7, Katy Perry at No. 12, Jennifer Aniston at No. 36, Cressida Bonas at No. 45, Pippa Middleton at No. 58, Britney Spears at No. 59, Miley Cyrus at No. 79, and Jessica Alba at No. 83.

It's officially over for Sandra Bullock and Jesse James.
The pair filed papers under seal last week in Texas to finalize their divorce after their nearly five-year marriage crumbled amid reports of infidelity by James, PEOPLE confirms.
The Oscar-winning actress, 45, filed for divorce in April in Austin, where she has a home. The papers cited "discord or conflict of personalities" as the reason for the split.
Bullock's rep confirmed Monday that the divorce is now final.
The settlement was probably amicable "because there were no arguments back and forth in court or any filings," says Daryl Weinman, an Austin-based family law attorney who is not involved with the case.
Though it's unclear if the two had a prenuptial agreement, James won't be entitled to spousal support since in Texas a spouse must be married for at least 10 years to qualify for support.
The divorce helps clear the way for her to finalize the adoption of her son Louis as a single mother. The actress, who is now legally single and by law would have to wait 30 days before she can marry again, also "presumably worked out a private visitation agreement" for James's kids, Weinman says.

His rep says the actor and comedian has been "upgraded to fair condition, which is a great improvement."
The rep adds more good news: "His personality is certainly starting to come back as well."
Morgan had been in critical, but stable, condition following a deadly six-vehicle accident on the New Jersey Turnpike.
His comic mentor James McNair, known as Uncle Jimmy Mack, was killed in the crash. Two others, including his assistant, Jeffrey Millea, were seriously injured.
Millea's family, via Morgan's rep, shares that he has been upgraded to fair condition as well.
The accident happened June 6 when a Walmart truck slammed into a limousine carrying Morgan and his entourage. The driver, Kevin Roper, has pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide and assault by auto charges.

Addressing Beef-Safety Challenges
Contact: , 303-867-6302;
The third and final workshop in a series addressing beef safety challenges and dissemination of information to beef processors, last month in Atlanta, focused on important topics including testing technologies and strategies, HACCP plan updates, Salmonella and STECs, and improving performance on Food Safety Assessments. The workshops also included time for discussion about development of resources for beef processors to further improve their beef-safety systems. For related information, visit BIFSCo.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

i have the CTAC and love it
it stays put very well (dont need to constantly adjust it and realign it while you are wearing it)
it is comfortable enough to wear all day and then some (ive had mine on my side for almost 48 straight hours with no discomfort)
i like that it is tuckable (sometimes you simply have to tuck the shirt)
its very thin and holds the gun close, so it doesnt print much and doesnt bulge out one side of your waist band like some other holsters ive tried do (hard to conceal when you have what looks like an 8lb tumor on your hip)
it draws very fast
it holds its shape so reholstering is as easy and smooth as drawing (no fussing around and forcing needed, simple one handed use)
its flexible where it needs to be so it forms well to pretty much anybody
July 23, 2008, 01:46 PM
I used the Comp-tac Infidel with the gurkha strut and it worked quite well. Very concealable and quite comfortable for a Kydex...
July 23, 2008, 05:34 PM
I think I'm gonna go with the Comp-tac Infidel or C-tac when I get my M&P. But it'll probably be the C-tac.....unless I have enough money to get both :)
December 29, 2008, 11:01 PM
I wore the C-Tac for over a year. Its a fine holster but I might have gotten the Gurkha if I had to do it over.
December 29, 2008, 11:29 PM
I think we might be able to give a better idea of what would be "best" if we knew what was going in the holster?
The VMII isn't even close to the same league as the CTAC or Gurkha, but knowing what your are carrying we might be able to give you alternates, if possible (I know the HRLTD is my favorite for a 1911 over the VMII).
December 30, 2008, 01:01 AM
After using good kydex holsters I just don't like the leather ones anymore. I like the positive feel and smooth draw and reholster of the kydex. When I do drills I will draw and fire and reholster dozens of times. Kydex is nice for that.
December 30, 2008, 02:25 AM
youre right, the gurkha is much better than a vmII.
December 30, 2008, 09:15 AM
I like the comp-tac minotaur kydex/leather hybrid. Best of both worlds, and excellent concealment.
December 30, 2008, 01:53 PM
i like my C-TAC but have been wearing my raven more often.
both are well made and fit...but the raven is just a hair better with the "close" fit.
February 8, 2009, 09:50 PM
I traded in a Comp-Tac Ghurka on a C-Tac. The C-Tac has been great.
February 8, 2009, 10:41 PM
I too, am interested in the aforementioned holsters for an M&P compact. I have a blocky body type and have been using a smart carry, but I would like to get a holster that's a little more accessible. The only thing about the CTAC is that it seems like it would get quite uncomfortable having the plastic rub against you all day without some moleskin.

Those wrestling with copyright and fair use of web based materials should read the section titled: What happens to copyright in cyberspace? ~ Excellent guidance!
This is why information literacy is so critical for the future of learning. If we want to see students become critical thinkers and lifelong learners, they need to be able to navigate information. But it goes beyond simply figuring out the accuracy of what they are accessing. It also involves tapping into the connective nature of their devices. In other words, I want to see students learn how to be researchers. I want to see them learn to ask great questions and find the answers through data, through reading, through videos, through podcasts, and through finding experts that they can talk to.

" What does creativity mean? If you were to ask 10 people to define creativity, you are likely to get 10 unique and different perspectives. There are a number of creativity theorists who have made a career trying to define and study creativity. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Management at the Quality of Life Research Center, suggested that exceptionally creative people are described as individuals who work hard for long periods of time with a clearly set intention in a domain in which they have a deep interest. Keith Sawyer, author of Group Genius, agrees that creativity consists of a lot of hard work but added that creativity is enhanced by consistently engaging in practices that develop good ideas. Eva Hoff, Lund University, positions creativity as the combination of two or more elements of reality in a new way with the intention to do something original. Thomas R. Fisher, Dean of the College of Design at the University of Minnesota, relates creativity to the thought process; however, Mark Runco, Professor at UGA, links creativity to bringing something new into existence, such as an invention, design, or work of art. Some theorists characterize creativity as a state of mature emotional intelligence, mental flexibility, and field independence (not relying on information provided by others). When defining creativity, should it be characterized as personal creativity in order to consider individual differences? Does a child's style preference (selfish vs. altruistic), attitude, level of curiosity, imagination, emotional maturity, stress tolerance, and self-efficacy impact creativity? Do birth order, extracurricular activities, cultural background, peer pressure, socioeconomic status, parental style (rigid vs. relaxed), and school culture influence creativity? How do all these individual differences work together in group creativity? Christophe Mouchiroud and Frank Zenasni, René Descartes University, have studied the individual differences in the development of social creativity, and determined that novel thinking can lead to behaviors which have a benefit to efficiently solving problems occurring in groups. What role does imagination play in creativity? Are child paracosms (pretend play and imaginary worlds) a precursor to adult creativity? Eva Hoff stated that pretend play is a "necessary" part of the creative process in both adults and children. Marjorie Taylor, Professor of Psychology at the University of Oregon, studied the perspectives of a variety of theorists and found conceptual agreement that "imagination is a multifaceted capacity that emerges early in life, develops substantially during the preschool years, and continues to be fundamental to human thought throughout life." Jerome and Dorothy Singer, Yale University, highlighted that "our human capacity for mental imagery representations, reenactments, and anticipatory constructions, which are all elaborations of our direct sensory experiences, may well be a defining characteristic of our species." Another benefit of imagination is future thinking: the ability to contemplate the future, including theory of mind and inhibitory control. As you can see from above, imagination and creativity are necessary for child development and success. I believe that imagination is the foundation for a creative mind. Programs, like Destination Imagination, enhance creative behavior and enable students to be flexible and adaptive in their thinking. Destination Imagination is unique in that it strives to teach the creative process from imagination to innovation. What do you think when you "imagine" a creative mind?"

Pharmacoimaging combines traditional pharmacology with broad imaging capabilities, enabling better decision making, improved clinical trial design, and more confident lead candidate selection.
Imaging technologies are also being used for drug safety assessment, both to screen drugs in the discovery stage and to provide supporting data later on.
Increasingly, imaging will be incorporated into preclinical and clinical studies to interrogate and quantify both drug efficacy and safety in the same animals or patients, according to presentations given at World Pharma Congress' recent "Molecular Imaging Conference in Drug Discovery and Development."
"The uniqueness of our approach is to focus more on the drug target and disease biology up front, as we develop a picture of whether and how in vivo imaging can enhance intended decision making," says Patrick McConville, Ph.D., CSO and COO at Molecular Imaging.
"Our approach drives successful pharmacoimaging by ensuring inherent relevance of the data output to the intended biological or molecular question, and how this relates to the clinical path and related decision making," Dr. McConville explained.
In vivo imaging facilitates access to information that is more directly relevant to drug mechanism or that cannot be obtained through other means. Further, imaging biomarkers are being used to provide readout of a broad range of relevant physiological and functional parameters, including metabolism, cellularity, proliferation, hypoxia, and inflammation. Such data enables measurement of disease progression and response to targeted therapies, at a mechanistic level.
Imaging has become a standard tool for characterizing biologic molecule targeting and biodistribution using isotopes for PET, SPECT, and fluorophores. Labeling of antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, proteins and peptides, and nanoparticles for image-based detection, is a powerful approach to drug discovery and development.
New imaging modalities including photoacoustic technology and clinical fluorescence will provide powerful approaches to translational medicine.
The CMOS-based microelectrode array (MEA) system combines the advantages of both MEA systems and patch clamp systems, enabling noninvasive recording from complete cellular monolayers. It can record intracellular action potentials. With more than 16,000 sensor sites that can be addressed individually, the chip increases data output at single-cell resolution.
The new silicon microelectrode array platform developed by Dries Braeken, Ph.D., R&D team leader, and his colleagues at the Interuniversitair Micro-Electronica Centrum (IMEC) in Belgium, is equipped with thousands of sensors on a single silicon chip, to target single cells growing on the surface. The standard silicon technology integrating all amplifiers, filters, stimulation and impedance circuitry into the chip, facilitates massive parallelization and increasingly efficient and cheaper systems. Additional ultra-small electrodes enable recording and stimulation of single cells.
As Dr. Braeken explained, "We developed a new assay to record signals that are much larger in amplitude than extracellular signals—up to 20 mV versus one to two mV."
These signals closely resemble intracellular signals recorded with patch clamp techniques. The assay makes use of the integrated stimulation circuitry to create transient nanopores by electroporation of the membrane patch. This creates a low-resistance path to the intracellular milieu, enabling observation of the full shape of the action potential. The intracellular signals are available from a single cell over five consecutive days.
For example, cardiac cellular signals recorded by this chip allowed for the accurate measurement of cardiac action potential duration, upstroke velocity, and different phases of the downstroke.
The CMOS MEA system is poised for a multiwell format, allowing ultra-high throughput without compromising signal quality. Software design and automation should enable extraction of specific ion channel parameters for drug screening. The technology can be integrated in organ-on-a-chip systems for more advanced predictive toxicology screening of cardiac or neuronal cells.
Dr. Braeken also presented a lens-free imaging method that is cheaper than conventional microscopy, while providing detailed information and a large field of view.
"Lens-free imaging makes it possible to perform bright-field microscopy of cells with high resolution—to 1.4 µm—and a large field of view—up to 20 mm," he elaborates.
With this approach, the sample under investigation is illuminated by a coherent light source, and diffraction patterns are captured on a CMOS imager chip positioned underneath the sample. Images from cell cultures are obtained using dedicated image reconstruction algorithms.
"The lens-free imaging system is an optical component-free, compact, and cheap imaging system with high resolution and a large field of view," Dr. Braeken claimed.
The resulting images are comparable to those taken with a conventional phase contrast microscope. The technique also enables reconstruction of a holographic image of cells. It is portable inside a cell incubator for direct time-lapse imaging.
Integrating the lens-free imaging system into cell bioreactors helps to monitor the kinetics of cell growth and differentiation, for example, in human stem cell cultures.

The number of players committed to Penn State for the 2013 recruiting class is back down to nine.
BlueWhite Illustrated's Ryan Snyder reported late Wednesday that linebacker Zayd Issah, the reigning Pennsylvania Class AAAA player of the year from Central Dauphin High School, is reopening his recruitment. Issah's announcement follows those of Ohio cornerback Ross Douglas, Belle Vernon offensive tackle Dorian Johnson, Maryland linebacker Zach Bradshaw and Philadelphia receiver Will Fuller to decommit from the Nittany Lions after the announcement of a bowl ban and scholarship reductions last month as a result of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal and the Freeh report.
Issah's decision was somewhat anticipated. When he picked the Lions this summer, Oregon was his second choice, even though he hadn't received a scholarship offer from the Ducks -- Issah originally is from Oregon. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Issah also has been seeing increasing interest from other top national programs, according to Snyder's report.
Unlike the four other players that decommitted from Penn State after the NCAA sanctions, Issah is not ruling out eventually signing with the Nittany Lions -- he told Snyder Penn State still would be his top choice if letter-of-intent day was today. However, because of the changes since he committed on June 29, he wants to take some times to weigh some options.
Issah is the sixth recruit to decommit from Penn State in the last two months; New Jersey four-star defensive tackle Greg Webb switched his commitment from the Lions to North Carolina -- closer to where his family was moving -- before the NCAA sanctions were announced.
Penn State also has gotten a commitment post-sanctions from Washington, D.C. cornerback Jordan Smith.

Sixty years ago, Roper Hospital's top floor probably looked a little like a zoo.
Clinical trials information
Roper St. Francis
(843) 740-1592
(843) 792-1414
That's because there were caged animals up there back then — sequestered from the patient population in the name of medical research.
"Up until about 1947, we were the teaching hospital for the Medical University. We did all kinds of research," said Dr. Steven Shapiro, chief medical officer for the Roper St. Francis Healthcare system.
The animals are long gone now and it's been decades since the hospital system invested any significant time or talent into medical research. But that's about to change.
The hospital system just launched a new Clinical Biotechnology Research Institute — a long name for its new research department. A construction crew is busy carving out space on Roper Hospital's fifth floor to house the new venture. It's expected to open this fall.
"We're going back to our roots," Shapiro said.
The institute is not meant to mimic the Medical University of South Carolina's research department. MUSC's research portfolio approached $230 million during the 2013 fiscal year and much of that is funded by the federal government.
By contrast, Roper has invested only $1.5 million in its program and wants to court private research grants, instead of federal ones, from drug companies and medical device manufacturers seeking FDA approval who need to test their products in clinical trials.
"Most health care in America is done in settings like Roper St. Francis — private hospitals, as opposed to academic centers," said Roper St. Francis Healthcare CEO David Dunlap. "I think we have seen that the device manufacturers and the pharmaceutical companies like the idea of being able to put this in a private, not-for-profit setting as opposed to an academic setting, which again, has strengths, but it's not where most people receive their care."
Roper's new research efforts could even complement MUSC's own, said MUSC President Ray Greenberg.
"I don't view this as competition at all — our competition is in Durham, N.C. and Atlanta, Ga. — places with other prominent academic health centers," Greenberg said. "Building more medical research in Charleston is a good thing for the institutions, for the people of the region and for the economy."
It may also be good for Roper St. Francis Healthcare's bottom line, Dunlap said.
"If it's managed well, it can be not hugely profitable, but it could be a positive contribution to our margin."
The institute is the brainchild of Dr. Jacobo Mintzer, a former MUSC researcher who jumped ship earlier this year with his team of 10 staff members, to start the research program at Roper St. Francis.
"We need to find a way to develop a model of research that will be patient-centered," said Mintzer, who is still a teaching faculty member at MUSC. "The kind of research projects that will move forward are the kind of research projects that answer a need that a clinician has in the field."
Charleston's other hospital systems — Trident Health and East Cooper Medical Center, both private, for-profit facilities — do not house research departments.

Al Gore thinks socialism is best for America even though it hasn't worked for any other country. The definition of insanity is "trying the same thing over many times, expecting a different result" This is the basis of the democratic party.

Item Description
Beoga is a traditional band based in County Antrim. Their unique sound features the twin duelling accordians of Seán Óg Graham and Damian McKee, along with four times All-Ireland bodhran champion Eamon Murray and pianist Liam Bradley. While they have recently added one of Ireland's premier young singers, Niamh Dunne, to the fold, their debut CD, A Lovely Madness was recorded before her arrival in the band.
The bedrock of Beoga's music lies firmly within the Irish tradition, but they are not afraid to incorporate other genres' nuances into their music. From bluesy riffs to Astor Piazzola-style jazz, to a raunchy New Orleans jamboree vibe, their music always returns to a wonderfully bouncy traditional sound. With a repertoire of fresh self-penned tunes and inventive arrangements, their debut album A Lovely Madness has earned a 9/10 in Ireland's Hot Press magazine and was in the list of Top Trad/Folk Albums of the year.
"...marvelous energy...a wonderful, wonderful album." - Bill Margeson, Irish American News

If you're in the market for big appliances, a new lawn mower or just about any other big, bulky item, Labor Day weekend is a good time to shop for it. Have a pickup truck on standby this weekend and hit up these deals while they last.
Gas grills are something we tend to associate with summer cookouts, but I think most locals will agree that grilling out is practically a year-round affair in Charleston. Plus, buying one off-season could knock a decent amount off the price tag. Find high-end models for 20 percent off at Lowe's this week, with most marked-down prices ranging from $139-$400. The deals are valid through Sept. 9.
Mattresses are a weighty expense for everyone, and if you've been putting off the purchase, now may be the best time. Around Labor Day, you'll be able to find high-quality mattresses that you can actually afford. Check out the selection on sale for 50 percent to 60 percent off at Sears this week. Some qualify for free delivery and with some styles, they'll even throw in a free box spring.
Outdoor gear such as camping accessories, bicycles and other recreational equipment will be marked down this week. Kmart has Schwinn bikes on sale for $99-$160, marked down from $130-$200. Kmart is also advertising impressive deals on camping gear, with a six-person tent going for about $70. For name-brand models, check the sales on REI.com. The Base Camp Four Person tent is marked down from $369 to $269.
Appliances are a rare purchase, but if you're upgrading yours, shop this week's sales and you could save at least $100. At Home Depot, appliances are 10 percent off or more, most qualify for free delivery and there's no interest fee for items that are paid off in six months. H.H. Gregg has an impressive sale as well, with markdowns ranging from 25 percent to 30 percent.
Electronics, especially televisions, are a smart purchase this week. Wal-Mart is a go-to spot for cheap TVs, but H.H. Gregg appears to be giving the mega-store a run for its money with its Labor Day specials this year.
A 32-inch LCD TV by Seiki is on sale for $200 at H.H. Gregg, which saves you about $45. If you have a little more to spend, there's a package deal on the website for a 51-inch plasma, high-definition TV and a free Blu-ray player for $498, which saves you about $130. Plus, the store offers short-term financing.
Lawn mowers are a necessity throughout the year for homeowners, but Labor Day is one of the few times of year they go on sale. You'll only see gas-powered models advertised in Lowe's circular this week, but the store actually has even better prices on electric mowers, like the 13-amp Greenworks push mower for $189.

The New Girls' Network: The Science Of Office Politics
Mothers are 79% less likely to be hired, only half as likely to be promoted, offered an average of $11,000 less in salary and held to higher performance and punctuality standards than an identical woman without children.
By Joan C. Williams (Author, The New Girls' Network)
Advice literature for women is a crowded field and a predictable one. Most advice falls into one of two woefully inadequate camps:
1. Man up! The most common advice assumes that the problem is that women need to act more like men. Men tend to negotiate harder, act with more confidence and go after plum assignments that will require them to stretch and swagger. All this is good advice – sometimes, for some women. It will work for you if you tend to act in traditionally feminine ways: modest, happy to play support roles and attuned to the comfort of others

Can you define these popular missing words?
ni hao (second tone first tone when used together) means 'Hello' in mandarin chinese. When the question word 'ma' (no tone) is added at the end of it, it simply means "How are you?" The literal meaning of ni hao is 'you good'. Putting something before the word good makes it hello to that paticular person or group of people. ni is simply 'you', so you would that that to only one person. With the 'ma', the literal translation is 'you good?'

Hello in Chinese. Most commonly used by non-Chinese people to show off the only chinese phrase they know to a Chinese they just met, who can speak fluent English ironically.
"Hey I have learnt some Chinese from another Chinese friend...ni hao."
"Oh, wow. That's great. I wish I know how to say hello in your language."
"Oh, wow. That's great. I wish I know how to say hello in your language."

"Ni hao" has become a phrase to say derrogatorily to "chinese gold farmers" (a player whose sole purpose is to collect in-game currency to sell to other players for real-world money) in MMO games such as World of Warcraft or Everquest. Usually used snidely or snarkily.

Having used Circo notebooks in the past, I already knew how wonderfully functional they are. I purchased the Sliver notebook for my piano lessons (you're never to old!). I use my Circa punch on my sheet music and notes. When I want to play a tune, I can take out the sheet music, and when I'm finished playing, store it back in my notebook. No more paper scattered all over my piano! I also love the way the notebook lays flat on the music stand. I bought a second one for my daughter's voice lessons. It's a little spendy, but there is absolutely nothing else out there like it. It's completely worth it.

This notebook system is everything I wanted it to be and more! I don't regret any of my purchases. I love the way my purple cover looks and functions. This notebook is my workhorse, it has 1.5 discs and I use everyday nearly all day long for school. BUT, it is already showing some serious wear and tear and I have only been using it for 6 weeks. Like another reviewer when I switched out my disc, there was damage done to the front and back of the front cover, since it didn't happen to the back cover, I had chalked that up to my error. Now I notice that the outside corners on the front and back cover are starting to peel. I spent the extra money to have my name stamped on it and now thats the corner that shows the most wear and it's starting to look sloppy. I love how slim and lightweight this cover is but I'm starting wonder if I should have just got the leather cover.

Comments about Levenger Circa Sliver Foldover Notebook:
I've been looking for a cover like this to use for my planner for some time; I LOVE the disc systems out there, but was never really happy with the covers I came across, and was never happy with my DIY efforts, either. This notebook cover is sturdy, slim, and purple. And the price was right. 5 out of 5 stars in my book!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful, cost-effective
By Stephanie bullet journaler
from Santa Clara, CA
I love this notebook. it's so versatile and functional. I purchased in the red cover and it's a beautiful, very attractive notebook for the price. I use it as a bullet journal and I think it is the perfect product for that use. It organizes all my to-do lists, daily thoughts, drawings, lists and notes. As a bullet journaler, the only drawback about these Circa notebooks is that Levenger/Circa does not currently offer a dot grid style paper (which we gravitate to) ... so, I buy Rhodia paper separately and use my Circa punch to make it work with my notebook. But that's my only complaint and it's not really a big deal. At least, my Circa punch (kinda pricey!) is getting good use! Overall, very happy with this system.

Lovely color for Circa
By Heart
from Ocean View, DE
I have a couple other plane-jane circas, silver color, Jr size. Circas are... Circas!What I love about this one is the color, "touch" and feel of the covers. Thin but not too thin. Supple but not flimsy. And the color, did I mention the purple color!Unfortunately, I purchased the 1.5" beautiful purple/blue/clear/white flecked coins to compliment the Jr size purple Circa, and while the color of the coins is a great complement to the color of the notebook, I didnt do my homework on the size of the coins. 1.5" dwarfs a junior notebook. My bad. It looks like is is on rollers or wheels!! Even filling with 1"+ worth of circa paper, the size of the coins looks a tad over the top. Oh well, live, (buy) and learn!
Cover durability a question mark!
By Discs in TX
from Dallas,TX
I Love my Circa leather notebook. Thought I would try something cheaper. I switched out the plastic discs for the same size aluminum discs. The disc edges scraped off material off of the front and back of the covers near the punches no matter how careful I tried to be. Textured cover collects any small particles of paper or eraser from work surfaces. I really wanted to find a less expensive alternative. Next stop Circa Impressions...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great planner/notebook!
By ReyGirl
from Lake Lanier, GA
I've been looking at the Circa notebooks for a while and when the semi-annual sale came up, I jumped at the chance to get one. I chose the Sliver cover as a step up from the translucent covers, but not as bulky (or expensive) as the leather or bookcloth covers. The cover is flexible but not flimsy. Folded back, it will provide enough support for you to write if you aren't near a table or desk. I added the monthly planner tabs and the full page 1/4" ruled sheets and now I have the perfect notebook.I do wish Levenger gave you the option to pick the paper style you want when you order a new notebook. I got the junior size since it fits in my handbag and I carry it with me everywhere. I don't want annotation sheets in the junior size because it limits the space for writing. I ordered the full page ruled sheets and now I have 60 pages of annotation ruled paper that I don't really need. I will, of course, eventually use them so as not to waste them but it would have been simpler to be able to get the full page ruled sheets included with the notebook cover in the first place.
Looks more expensive than it is
By Valerie in FL
from South Florida
I was worried I wouldn't be able to change out the discs for larger ones, but this was not an issue. I like that the cover is the same thickness throughout, and does not use a thinner material around the discs. This cover, in black, looks really nice with the vivacious tabs.

I was a little hesitant to get this because I have had issues with binders as a left handed person, but I've been extremely pleased with this style. It lats flat when cover is folded back, and my hand doesn't bump into the binders.
Best way to keep track of business and personal life!
By Entrepreneur & Mom
from Silver Spring, MD
I've been using the Circa notebook for a couple of years and LOVE it. What a pleasure to switch from screen-based calendaring to this. The calendar tracks my business, personal, and kid-related appointments, and I use tabs behind that to keep notes on all of my client work. I was using the starter kit notebook cover for ages, but I just bought the Sliver Foldover notebook, and I'm glad to have this new cover. It's solid without being heavy.
I would buy this product again.
By tatter
from Lincoln, NE
I was wanting a different color, but was told that color was only for the picture, so I had to pick another color. I already have one in the color sent, but this one is a much muddier color and not the smooth cover. Like its companion one, I count on this one being as sturdy and great for note taking especially when table or hard surface not available. I like Circa for the ease in moving notes to subject division it will apply to. It is not color I wanted, but I can live with the color because the quality is top notch.
I have bought this notebook several times before. Love it.

NIAGARA FALLS – New plans for the Robert Moses Parkway call for the state to rip out two of the four lanes guiding motorists to and from Niagara Falls State Park.
But it's not that road change that is getting officials excited about the proposal; it's the thought of connecting the state park to the city after decades of separation.
To many, the idea is common sense: Residents and tourists should be able to move easily between the park and the city.
But for far too long, that hasn't been the case.
While the park boasts a main entrance at the city's edge, the parkway makes many other areas harder to pass.
Take the recent exchange between Mayor Paul A. Dyster and a young tourist family visiting the falls:
As he was leaving a meeting where leaders unveiled the new parkway plans, the family asked Dyster how to get to the water. The mayor turned around and pointed in the direction of a pathway that snaked toward the river. The trail was blocked by a closed gate. Looking around, he eventually directed them on a roundabout journey through the park.
If the new plans stand – they are in the public review stage and will be finalized next year – residents and tourists will have more public access points to get to the Niagara River.
That's why officials are calling the new design of the southern section a "Riverway."
"We should give them the best experience we have to offer, and not have them find something by accident," Dyster said.
The Buffalo News surveyed those access points to give residents a better idea of what the changes will mean. The proposed access areas include:
• New paths and crosswalks in the upper rapids area, near the Red Coach Inn.
Some consider this area to be one of the falls' most breathtaking viewing spots, with benches for travelers to experience the thundering rapids up close.
Getting to the viewing area from city streets, though, means you currently have to walk down a steep hill and cross illegally over four lanes of the Robert Moses.
• Sidewalks and crosswalks at Fourth Street, near the former Fallside Hotel.
This area often gives residents the sense that they are "almost" at the water.
From here, though, it's just as difficult to penetrate the Moses' concrete barrier.
Sidewalks exist on only one side of the street, and residents would need to dodge cars on the expressway to get to a hiking trail.
• A lowered embankment and nature areas along Riverside Drive.
The row of old city homes greeting incoming motorists hardly looks like real estate located just seconds from a natural wonder.
That's because an embankment built to support the expressway robbed the street of its riverfront view.
State officials plan to lower the berm and create a walking path that will snake from the park.
A small pond – designed with the principles of park architect Frederick Law Olmsted in mind – could become a gathering place for nature tourists and residents alike.
These changes could also spur development of a planned bed-and-breakfast historic district on Buffalo Avenue, leaders say, as well as the reuse of vacant structures such as the Fallside.
• A new path to the water from Buffalo Avenue near the First Street bridge to Goat Island.
The new trail and crosswalk will again give visitors a safer way to cross the parkway and get to the water, officials say.
• A more extensive trail system along the water's edge that would be accessible to motorists and pedestrians.
Nearly all of the new access points would connect with trails along the water – one which exists now and others set to be added.
The additional trails would stretch from the falls area to east of the John B. Daly Boulevard interchange.
Most of the access points are geared toward pedestrians, but motorists will see improvements, too.
Those driving west on the parkway from Buffalo into the state park now must enter the main park area to reach the riverfront.
That would change with the addition of parking pull-off points like those that exist at the water intakes.
Pull-off points would be built along the trail system at the water's edge so that motorists could park and reach the water more easily.
"We're looking at areas in the park we can get people to go to other than the falls," said Mark W. Thomas, regional state parks director.
"What this does is it opens up a whole new area of the park that felt foreboding and forbidding to the public."
The new parkway plans can be viewed until Jan. 31 in Niagara Falls City Hall, the Niagara Falls Public Library and visited online at nysparks.com/inside our-agency/public-documents .aspx.
Written comments on the design can be sent to David Szuba, P.O. Box 1132, Niagara Falls, NY 14303, or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
After public comments, a final design will be approved next year, and state officials must find roughly $15 million to fund the project.
Construction on the final design would begin in 2014, officials said. The latest design on the northern section of the Robert Moses – between Niagara Falls and Lewiston – will be unveiled next month.

It took three extra innings, but the Parks Field American All-stars defeated the Carolina League All-stars 9-5 Wednesday.
Parks Field, Carolina, Ladson, Pepperhill/Wescott, Moncks Corner, Hanahan and Parks Circle/Northwood are competing in the 2014 South Carolina Dixie Youth Majors (age 11-12) District 7 Championship Tournament this week at Wescott Park. The double-elimination tournament opened Tuesday and will conclude either Saturday or Sunday depending on whether or not a team can sustain an undefeated run. Games are held at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. daily.
Parks Field and Carolina League both won their opening-day game to set up a Summerville showdown on Wednesday. Parks Field defeated Park Circle 11-3 and Carolina League defeated Moncks Corner 8-7.
The next day it took the Summerville teams nine innings to settle which would remain in the winner's bracket.
Parks struck first as Ethan Shaw tripled in the top of the first inning and scored on a single by Jordan Loving. In the bottom half of the inning, Carolina took a 2-1 lead when DeAngelo Mazyck drove in Tybray Moses and Ahmad Tucker with a double.
Colin Grooms tied the game in the second with a single that plated Camden Rossa. Parks then added a run in the third when Loving singled to plate Michael Collins and another in the fourth when Hayden Fowler came home on a throwing error for a 4-2 Parks lead.
However, Carolina answered in the bottom of the fourth. Mazyck singled, moved around on a walk and a Zykye Green single and then scored on a wild pitch. Then Javon Walker drove in TyQuane Murdock with a ground out for a 4-4 score.
Parks regained the lead in the sixth when Shaw scored on an overthrow, but Carolina answered in the bottom of the frame as Mazyck scored on a wild pitch.
Neither team was able to push a run across the next two innings, but Parks strung some hits together in the top of the ninth to send four runners home. The turn at bat began with a single by Loving. After a strikeout, Jennings Fowler and Hayden Fowler singled to load the bases.
Rossa doubled to drive in Loving and Jennings Fowler and then Geoffrey Schnee tripled to plate Hayden Fowler and Rossa for the 9-5 score.
Parks then secured the win by retiring three straight Carolina batters with a strikeout and two pop ups.
Jacob Church, Shaw and Loving pitched for Parks. Loving threw the final five innings and struck out six batters.
Loving and Hayden Fowler both went 3 for 4 at the plate to lead the Parks batters. Shaw and Schnee both reached base four times, including once on a triple.
Tywan Moses, Ahmad Tucker and DeLeon Nelson pitched for Carolina. Tucker threw six-plus innings and fanned six batters. Mazyck led the Carolina batters, going 3 for 4 at the plate with two RBIs and two runs scored. Justin Smith and Green were both 2 for 4 at the plate.
On Thursday after press time Parks faced Pepperhill/Wescott, the only other team without a loss in the tournament. Carolina faced Hanahan.
