AUSTIN (AP) - Sanger outlasted Midland Greenwood Saturday in the longest game ever played in the state softball tournament and captured the Class 3A title with a 2-0 victory in 17 innings.
The game lasted four hours, 40 minutes, which easily beat out last year's 15-inning Class 5A championship game between Bryan and Freeport Brazoswood, which lasted 3:35.
The two teams combined for 31 hits and stranded 35 runners. Sanger's Jessica Hudson crushed a two-out, two-run double to left-center field to score Holly Miller and Audrey Kelly in the top of the 17th, backing the complete-game shutout pitching of Amber Wood (20-2).
Erin Smith (32-9) was the tough-luck loser for Midland Greenwood.
Sanger appeared to have scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 12th inning on a single to left by Amy Hughes with the bases loaded, but baserunner Miceala Minner was called for interference on the play and was charged with the third out.
Midland Greenwood looked like it had the winning run on third base with no outs in the bottom of the 12th, but Smith overran the bag and was tagged out.
Class 5A
AUSTIN (AP) - Kelly Rhyne's one-out RBI-double in the bottom of the ninth gave Coppell a 1-0 victory early Sunday over Katy Taylor in the Class 5A championship game.
Rhyne's smash went over the head of Katy center fielder Tina Boutelle and rolled to the wall as Natasha Jacob circled the bases with the winning run.
Nicole Denes (23-1) got the victory, striking out 14 for Coppell (29-1), which was in the state championship softball game for the first time.
Denes got out of a jam in the top of the sixth inning, when Katy had runners on second and third with no outs, by striking out the side.
Cristen Vitek (27-4) got the loss for Katy (31-4) despite allowing only six hits and striking out nine in a complete-game performance.
Pam Brown, Rhyne and Jacob had two hits each for Coppell. Raquel Spencer had two hits for Katy.
Class 4A
AUSTIN (AP) - Smithson Valley used a four-run first inning to propel itself to a 5-1 win over Hallsville Saturday night and capture the Class 4A state championship.
Smithson Valley's aggressiveness on the basepaths helped lead to four Hallsville errors.
Kristy Knudsen, Loren Munoz, Heather Polhamus and Marie Polka all scored two-out runs for Smithson Valley (31-5) in the first. Harmony Schwethelm did the same in the second inning after singling and stealing second and third base before coming home on a Hallsville (38-8-1) error.
Jill Garro (18-2) went the distance for Smithson Valley, striking out six, while Loni Rasberry (23-7) took the loss for Hallsville.
It was Smithson Valley's first state championship in a team sport.
Class 2A
AUSTIN (AP) - Archer City scored two unearned runs in the top of the third inning to beat Weimar 2-1 Saturday in the Class 2A final.
Weimar (34-3) first baseman Myra Ulrich's two-out error prolonged the third inning, and Archer City (23-3) ultimately got two runs on Courtney Veal's single that scored Anna Campbell and Renea Shelton.
Weimar had a chance to tie the game or take the lead with three hits in the bottom of the sixth inning, but Regan Kasparek's baserunning error left the Lady Cats scoreless in the inning.
Kayla Jones (15-2) allowed just six hits over seven innings to pick up the win. Jenna Kubesch (22-3) took the loss for Weimar.
Class 1A
AUSTIN (AP) - Shiner scored six runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to beat Joaquin 10-4 in the Class 1A final on Saturday.
The score was 2-2 heading in the bottom of the fourth. Shiner then sent 11 batters to the plate against Ashley Jones (17-12), who threw a no-hitter in Thursday's semifinal win against Collinsville.
Melissa Boedeker, Lindsey Maxey and Chelsea Malina all had RBI-singles for Shiner (22-4) in the fourth inning. Malina and Amanda Mayberry scored on errors to help Shiner take the lead.
Joaquin (17-12) committed seven errors that led to five unearned Shiner runs.
Lindsey Michalec (13-4) picked up the win for Shiner, allowing three hits while striking out nine.

The former chief of the regional transportation agency will get a lump sum payment of $70,000 under a severance agreement after she resigned following her arrest on an alcohol-related disorderly conduct charge.
The Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority also will pay Christine Wilkinson $4,654 toward health insurance premiums under the agreement that was signed June 20.
In addition to the money, Wilkinson, who had worked for the transportation agency for 20 years - the last three as executive director at an annual salary of $130,000 - will be allowed to keep her CARTA-issued cellphone, laptop computer and iPad as long as they do not contain CARTA files or information, the agreement states.
CARTA Board Chairman Elliott Summey said Tuesday that Wilkinson was in the final six months of a four-year contract and that the agency had no way of severing its relationship with her "for cause" because she had not been convicted of a crime. Faced with that, he said, the CARTA board had to make a decision: place Wilkinson on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of her trial, or agree to a severance deal.
"It was a monetary and a business decision," Summey said.
Wilkinson, 44, was arrested just before 10 p.m. June 17 after an incident outside the Market Pavilion Hotel on East Bay Street.
According to the police report:
Wilkinson drove up to the valet stand and told employees she was there to get some ice cream. When asked if she needed her car parked, she declined. After being asked to move away from the valet area, Wilkinson drove south on East Bay Street before returning a few minutes later.
Wilkinson told staff members she was waiting for friends to come out of the bar. The door staff called police after Wilkinson began to act irritated.
A bicycle officer approached Wilkinson, who was still in the driver's seat of her car, and smelled a strong odor of alcohol coming from her body and breath. Wilkinson's eyes were bloodshot and her speech was slurred.
The officer asked Wilkinson to get out of her car due to her "grossly intoxicated state" and the "possibility of her endangering herself or others." When Wilkinson got out of her car, she staggered on the road.
Wilkinson asked the officer "to let her go because she worked for Mayor Joe Riley and has given 20 years of her life to this city."
"You could give me a break if you wanted to," Wilkinson told the arresting officer.
She resigned as CARTA director the same day the severance deal was signed.
On Tuesday, the Charleston Municipal Court clerk said Wilkinson was among defendants whose cases were scheduled to be heard who had requested a jury trial. No date has been set yet.
John Crangle, director of the state's Common Cause, a nonprofit advocacy group for ethical and accountable government, said that CARTA is limiting its liability in the case through the severance agreement.
"Actually, it seems like a soft settlement to me. It does appear that the employer settled the case and got rid of it for a reasonable amount of money," Crangle said. "The employer is protected. It's like buying an insurance policy."
Otherwise, he said, Wilkinson could have sued CARTA if she had been acquitted after resigning or being forced out.
CARTA said it would release the severance documents Tuesday but, acting on the advice of its attorney, only after the newspaper submitted a Freedom of Information Act request.
"Otherwise, providing this document under these circumstances opens the door for anyone to demand any CARTA documents without submitting a formal FOIA request," attorney Helen Hiser said Tuesday in an email to Summey.
"The FOIA is not intended as a shield to delay release of a document that is clearly public in nature," said Bill Rogers, executive director of the S.C. Press Association, an advocate for open government. "Their lawyers miss the point of the FOIA, which is to give the public and press access to government dealings."

LUBBOCK - Crowell head basketball coach Rob Ogle knows about Corey Hemphill's ability to shoot from the outside.
Hemphill and Paducah pulled out a district victory this past season when the senior nailed a 3-pointer as time expired.
During Saturday's Texas Six-Man Coaches Association All-Star game at the Rip Griffin Center, Ogle's East team was the benefactor of Hemphill's hot hand.
After the East trailed by two at halftime, Hemphill opened the second half by scoring 10 of the team's first 13 points. The East squad built a 20-point lead before securing an 88-75 victory against the North.
Hemphill, who will play next season at Clarendon College, finished with 26 points to earn most valuable player honors.
"He killed us for the last four years in district," Ogle said about Hemphill. "He came out on fire in the second half, and we mixed and matched some of our lineup a bit, and (Hemphill) made some big shots."
Hemphill finished with four 3-pointers, but the East had to fend off a North fourth-quarter rally.
Trailing 69-49 at the 8:33 mark of the fourth period, the North followed Hemphill's lead and managed to have success from beyond the arc.
Happy's Allen Irlbeck and Silverton's Gid Mayfield each hit a pair of 3-pointers, and Texline's Taylor Ferguson added one during a five-minute stretch that cut the East lead to 79-69 with 3:47 remaining.
New Home's Blaine Paul added two free throws after Vernon Northside's Evan King split two free throws to get the North deficit to nine points, but the North missed its next five field-goal attempts, and the East was able to push its lead back to double digits.
Hemphill led the push with an assist to King at the 2:59 mark that gave the East an 82-71 lead.
"We came out in the second half, and Coach told me to just do what I do," Hemphill said. "I was getting frustrated in the first half a little bit but luckily I got some shots to fall in the second half, and we took it from there."
A hot start to the second half couldn't have been expected from the East squad, which didn't come out for warmups after halftime.
With the North lined up to play defense, the East hustled out to the floor as the official blew his whistle to start the third quarter.
"We made some adjustments at halftime," Ogle said. "Part of it was with our press (defense) because they were getting some easy layups in the first half."
The North was led by Mayfield, who finished with 21 points. Irlbeck added 10.
NORTH - Reynolds 1 2-2 5, Barnum 3 0-0 6, Mayfield 3 13-14 21, Voyles 2 0-0 4, Ramos 2 2-4 6, Day 0 1-2 1, Moore 0 0-0 0, Irlbeck 6 0-0 15, Paul 3 2-2 10, Ferguson 2 2-2 7 Totals 22 22-26 75.
EAST - Helberg 0 0-0 0, Brown 1 1-5 3, Scarlett 0 0-0 0, Hemphill 11 0-0 26, Martinson 1 1-4 3, Hurd 3 1-2 7, Holloway 4 1-3 10, Engdaht 3 0-0 6, Benton 8 1-3 17, King 5 6-8 16 Totals 36 11-25 88.
North 22 14 13 26 - 75
East 23 11 31 23 - 88
3-point goals: North 9 (Irlbeck 3, Mayfield 2, Paul 2, Reynolds, Ferguson); East 4 (Hemphill 4). Fouled out: None. Total fouls: North 16, East 20. Technical fouls: None.

Hi Azzy.You have a wonderful gallery. You are my favorite photographer. >Greetings from Slovakia.Janko
Hi Janko, thank you for your nice comment, I think I have lots to learn and improve upon, especially going out when the light is better ;-) Greetings from UK - Azzy
good composition!! Greetings from Onosimoski
I read that the peat fire was always burning in these homes so while it may have been snug and warm it sounds very smoky. Could you stand up in this part of the house? This is what is left after the thatch roof is gone, isn't it?
JF, yes these homes would be smokey and yes I think you could just stand up in the centre where the thatched roof was highest, there is still a full village of these blackhouses elsewhere on the island which I didn't have time to see. You can rent them out for vacations LINK best wishes Azzy
b.onosimoski thanks for looking and kind comment, best wishes and greetings from Newcastle, Azzy
What can you tell us about what we are looking at?
Hi JB just to confirm I posted the information in another comment on another photo, but links here for others to follow too. Arnol and Blackhouse Museum Regards Azzy

PSG's French defender Lucas Digne (right) vies for the ball with Leverkusen's midfielder Sidney Sam during the UEFA Champions League last 16 second-leg football match in Paris yesterday.
PARIS: Paris St Germain, resting their usual magic midfield triangle and despite Zlatan Ibrahimovic's under-par display, sailed into the Champions League quarter-finals with a 6-1 aggregate win over Bayer Leverkusen yesterday.
The French champions won 2-1 at the Parc des Princes having thrashed the German side 4-0 in the last-16 first leg, with Marquinhos and Ezequiel Lavezzi wiping out the visitors' early strike by Sidney Sam.
Sami Hyypia's Leverkusen, who finished with 10 men after Emre Can picked up a second yellow card in the 68th minute, were also hampered by Simon Rolfes's missed penalty in the first half.
PSG, who have now won their last six games in all competitions, could have gone through even more easily had Ibrahimovic not missed a couple of clear chances either side of the interval.
Bayer, looking to become the third team to progress from a knockout tie in the Champions League after losing the first leg at home, made a strong start.
In the sixth minute, Sam powered home a downward header from Giulio Donati's cross to make it 1-0 to the visitors.
The hopes of Bayer, who were without injured midfielder Jens Hegeler, causing a major upset were shortlived, though.
PSG restored order in the 13th minute when Marquinhos headed in a corner and six minutes later Ibrahimovic's delicate chip hit the crossbar as PSG tightened their grip on the game.
However, Christophe Jallet pulled back Eren Derdiyok in the area, only for Salvatore Sirigu to parry away Rolfes's penalty kick.
The hosts went ahead eight minutes into the second half when Lavezzi slotted home from Lucas Digne's fine pass.
In Barcelona, Lionel Messi struck in the second half to end Manchester City's dreams of a famous comeback as Barcelona beat the English club 2-1 to reach the Champions League quarter-finals 4-1 on aggregate.
Messi slotted home in the 67th minute after a mistake by Joleon Lescott, and City's night got worse when Pablo Zabaleta was sent off with a second yellow card for dissent. The visitors scored a consolation through Vincent Kompany's tap-in in the 89th minute before Dani Alves won the game for Barca in the first minute of injury time. AGENCIES

LEVELLAND - McLean kept its end of the deal Friday afternoon.
McLean 51, Grady 48
Records: McLean is 25-5; Grady finishes 25-10.
Impact: McLean advances to the Region I-1A Division II title game 2 p.m. today. against Follett. In both teams' first game this season, Follett defeated McLean, 62-45.
Key Stat: McLean's Sheri Haynes makes her final six shots - two 3-pointers and four free throws - to hold off Grady in the regional semifinals
Not to be outdone by Follett, which rallied in the final minute to win Friday's first Region I-1A-Division II semifinal, the Lady Tigers got a 3-pointer from Sheri Haynes with 26 seconds to play to take the lead and held on for a 51-48 victory against Grady.
It will be an all-Panhandle regional final today as McLean and Follett meet at 2 p.m. with a trip to Austin on the line.
Follett dominated McLean, 62-45, in the first game of the season for both teams.
"Somebody's going. It's neat that we're playing Follett," said first-year McLean coach Benji Hausen, who got a congratulatory bear-hug from Follett coach Shane Woods after the game.
With her team down 46-41 - Grady's largest lead of the game - with under four minutes to play, Haynes scored the Lady Tigers' final 10 points.
"I did? It was amazing, I've never done anything like that," said Haynes, who had struggled to hit shots from behind the arc the past two games. She was 1-for-7 Friday before sinking two treys as the game wound down.
"I couldn't believe it," she said of second 3-pointer that gave McLean (25-5) the lead for good. "My shot has been off."
Hausen had confidence in his sophomore guard.
"That's just normal for Sheri. She can go for 30 on any night," he said. "We just do what we do and keep going."
Haynes led all scorers with 22 points.
Her first trey cut the deficit to 46-44 with 3:16 to go.
Her two free throws tied the game 46-46, but with 1:12 to play, Grady's Lauren Robinson ripped a shot from the corner just inside the 3-point line.
The Lady Wildcats (25-10) may have missed a chance to win when Eva Dyck broke open to the basket but fumbled a pass out of bounds with under a minute to play. The next time downcourt, Haynes hit her second trey to put McLean ahead, 49-48.
Grady still had time to take a game-winning shot but the Lady Tigers tightened up on defense and forced a turnover with seven seconds to go.
Haynes was fouled again and hit both shots for a three-point lead.
The Lady Cats turned over the ball trying to set up a 3-point shot.
"Way tight," Haynes said of McLean's defense the final minutes of the game. "Toward the middle, we were down because we were losing. But then we got it into game mode."
McLean led early but Grady erased a 13-11 deficit after the first quarter and took a 16-13 lead on Dyck's basket early in the second quarter.
McLean led only twice in the second quarter, at 19-18 on Ashley Byron's basket and 24-23 on a trey by Haynes with 2:11 left.
DaShae Tolleson was fouled with four seconds left and hit both free shots to cut Grady's halftime lead to a point, 27-26.
The Lady Tigers played catchup in the third quarter, finally catching up on Haynes' drive to the hoop at 2:12.
That made it 32-32 and the next time downcourt, Haynes converted a three-point play to give the Lady Tigers their first lead of the half.
Byron's drive upped the lead to five points but Grady got a basket, followed by a steal and layup to make it a one-point game going into what proved to be a wild fourth quarter.
Grady coach Juan Rios hugged each of his five seniors as they exited the locker room.
"We played hard. But it's the regional semifinals and you can't expect anything else other than that," he said.

IFAC Response to BCBS Consultation External Audits of Banks
IFAC welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) consultative document, External audit of banks. IFAC recognizes the importance of high-quality auditing and acts to promote and enhance audit quality around the globe. This includes supporting the development, adoption, and implementation of high quality, internationally accepted auditing and quality control standards; promoting the need for global regulatory convergence; and supporting the development of strong professional accountancy organizations and accountancy firms.
IFAC's comment letter to the BCBS includes several pertinent matters with respect to external audits of banks, including:
(i) Audit Quality—A Holistic View. Recognizing that while the primary responsibility for performing quality audits rests with auditors, audit quality is best achieved in an environment where there is support from other participants in the financial reporting supply chain. Therefore, a holistic view of audit quality should be considered to determine the best means by which measures can be taken to improve it.
(ii) Quality of Information. Recognizing that the quality of information being reported by banks, and which is of critical interest to banking supervisory authorities, is a function of several factors besides the quality of the external audit, and includes the robustness of the reporting framework and the competence of those preparing the information.

With bargaining efforts between the Glass, Molders, Pottery, Plastics and Allied Workers International Union Local 7-A and company officials done, local employees were told at an informational meeting Thursday more details of what they would receive.
Ron Fatzinger, president of the local union, said the company did not offer any more then required by the WARN Act.
"Bain (Capitol) said they only owned the company for a couple weeks and they don't feel they owe the employees anything," Fatzinger said. "Usually when people work for a company 30- some years, the company feels obligated to give a reward for services rendered."
He estimated 99 percent of union members had at least 20 years working for American Standard; most had more than 30 years.
The WARN Act requires employers with more than 100 employees to provide 60 days' notice of a plant closing.
If they do not give this notice, the company is liable for back pay and benefits for the remaining 60 days to eligible employees. American Standard Americas announced a tentative decision to stop production at the plant Nov. 27. The closing of the Tiffin plant officially was announced by American Standard Americas Dec. 5, with the last day of production at the plant Dec. 21.
There are no severance packages being offered to employees. Medical coverage from Bain is to end Feb. 29. Employees will be offered the option to continue coverage through COBRA for $800 a month, Fatzinger said.
After the meeting Thursday some employees appeared confused and were asking union officials questions about the agreement.
Fatzinger said some people did not know what to expect because they have not seen any dollar figures for what they will receive from their pension accounts. The employee pension will be paid from American Standard and Trane, he said.
"They've lost faith in the company and don't trust them until they see those numbers," Fatzinger said of employees.
One employee who is waiting for his pension figure is Kenneth Gaietto, who has been employed at the company for 22 years. Gaietto was the last employee called back from the last round of layoffs that occurred at the plant.
Gaietto is 49 and will have to wait until he is 65 to receive full pension payments. He could receive reduced benefits in six years.
That money could be helpful in paying his bills. The only job he said he has found in Seneca County is Farmland Foods at $11.18 per hour. He was making $18.10 per hour.
"They're not going to lower my property tax or sewer," Gaietto said. "The unemployment representative said I would be lucky to (get) within 40 miles of Tiffin to find a job that pays the same."
Gaietto said he grew up on Second Avenue, close to the plant, and as a boy thought it would be a good place to work.
Not all aspects of negotiations have been settled.
Jerri Haver, vice president in the local union, said there could be problems obtaining the training.
Haver said American Standard Americas is claiming production at the plant was not shifted out of the U.S. but that the company closed.
Fatzinger said U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown has been helping the union with trying to obtain approval for the training.
In addition to training and job referrals, it also provides extra insurance, extended unemployment benefits and subsidies wages.
Another glitch that could occur is a union grievance filed with the National Labor Relations Board.
Fatzinger said a labor contract was imposed on the union. He said on April 30, 2002, labor negotiations were occurring between the union and American Standard. At 10:30 p.m., the company presented its final offer and local union officials took it back to its members. After discussions, the union contacted the company and told them they rejected the offer with the understanding they would continue negotiations. American Standard told the union the contract they had at midnight was the new contract and they were invoking management right.
He said hearings have been held, including a federal judge ruling in favor of the union. He said the case is to go before a panel of five federal judges in Washington, D.C., and the union needs two judges to uphold the previous ruling.
With the potential of lost wages being paid it could affect pension amounts and Bain Capitol would have to recalculate employee pensions.
Phone calls to American Standard Americas were not returned.

China's product quality boss resigned Monday in the wake of the tainted baby formula scandal that has sickened nearly 53,000 infants and caused the deaths of four infants.
Li Changjiang stepped down with the approval of China's Cabinet, the official Xinhua News Agency said. Li's group is responsible for ensuring that China's food supply chain is safe.
His resignation comes after the industrial chemical melamine was blamed for causing kidney stones and kidney failure in babies.
The chemical was found in infant formula and other milk products from 22 of China's dairy companies.
China's product safety system was overhauled only a year ago with new regulations and procedures to try to restore consumer confidence.
The discovery of the tainted milk is especially damaging because Sanlu Group Co., the company at the heart of the scandal, is China's biggest producer of powdered milk. Such large companies are expected to act as industry role models for safety and quality.
Infant formula and other milk products have been pulled from stores around the country.
Chinese imports from liquid milk to instant coffee mix to milk-based candy have been banned around Asia.
The official number of sick children jumped late Sunday from 6,200 to nearly 53,000.
More than 80 percent of the 12,892 children hospitalized in recent weeks were 2 years old or younger, the Health Ministry said. Of those in hospitals, 104 are in serious condition.
Another 39,965 children received outpatient treatment at hospitals and were considered "basically recovered," the ministry said.
Four babies' deaths have been blamed on tainted milk powder.
The ministry did not explain the sudden increase in the number of cases but suggested health officials were combing through hospital records from May through August to trace the origins of the contamination.
The deaths of three infants linked to tainted infant formula occurred during those months, the Health Ministry said.

1974 Frank Sinatra Limited Edition LeRoy Neiman Lithograph (Artist Proof)
Starting Bid - $300.00, Sold For - $1,380.00
"Sinatra In Concert" was one of Neiman's earliest limited edition signed lithographs, predating the era of his full-color serigraphs. Issued as a limited edition of 300, this example is not numbered, and is notated "AP" in the lower left, designating this as an artist proof. The lithograph is flawlessly signed in the lower right by artist LeRoy Neiman ("10"). Sinatra was one of Neiman's favorite subjects. Neiman has captured Sinatra in a uniquely primitive style which captures the essence of Sinatra with very little detail. The crisp printed title contrasts with the intentionally rough quality of the artwork, giving the lithograph the impression of a concert poster, and emphasizing the intent of Nieman's impressionistic vision. This design was, in fact, used by Sinatra as a concert poster, and was Sinatra's touring logo in 1974. The lithograph measures exactly 21 x 29 inches. Near Mint condition. Reserve $300. Estimate $800/$1,200. SOLD FOR $1,380.00

A hotbed of power plays, plots, rumors and cliques, the American corporation, as Robert Bell, Ph.D., sees it, is no place for an employee to wander unarmed. "The guys at the top aren't looking out for anyone but themselves," he insists. In his new book, You Can Win at Office Politics (Times Books, $15.95), Bell, former head of the management department of Fordham University's Graduate School of Business in New York, offers what he says is the best defensive weapon. It is a simplified, nonmathematical version of game theory, the algebraic reasoning method devised in 1943 by a mathematician and an economist at Princeton University as a way to determine the best course of action in real-life situations. As Bell applies it, it often means being as cunning and unscrupulous as your boss. Bell, who earned his doctorate in cybernetics from Brunei University in England in 1972, is now a consultant and lecturer. Apart from collecting corporate horror tales, Bell, 42 and single, writes plays and movie scripts in the Manhattan apartment he shares with "a mutt I rescued from death row." He discussed his unapologetically amoral prescriptions with correspondent Paula Span.
Aren't you encouraging people to be manipulative and opportunistic?
I am encouraging people to act pragmatically in self-defense. If merit is rewarded in your company, do the best job you can and you'll get ahead. But if you act honestly and openly in a company where politics, rather than merit, is rewarded, you may never advance and you may lose your job.
Is merit not valued anymore?
There's no question that merit is rewarded at some companies. But most companies are getting more political. For instance, there were 1,337 mergers, acquisitions and divestitures in the first half of 1984—200 more than in the same period last year. In virtually every case, middle managers got the ax. The post-merger situation is one of vicious power plays and an end to team spirit, and the merger trend isn't letting up. People need protection. Game theory is an equalizer, like a six-gun.
How can a corporate small fry use the same strategy as the Joint Chiefs or board chairmen?
In any situation, look at your options in terms of what you don't want but are afraid you might get. In other words, what are the possible consequences you most fear or would find least tolerable, and how likely are they to happen? Your own feelings are a much better tool in making personal decisions than an objective formula. Now pick the course of action that looks best and follow it. The reason I set it up this way is that people are usually more in touch with what they don't want than what they do want.
How does game theory help you fight, say, a negative rumor about yourself?
You don't want to have to go into a long-winded explanation. But if you don't respond, you might be viewed as snooty. If you counterattack, you might make the whisperer the underdog. Deal with the feelings of the audience. Here's an example that's farfetched but actually happened. A guy was so much better than his rival that he could finish work early and kibitz with people. His rival began spreading the word that the guy didn't have his heart in his work. To counter this, our man checked into a hospital complaining of chest pain. He got a clean bill of health, and people at work felt guilty. He out-underdogged his detractor.
Is it wise to try to turn rumors to one's own advantage?
You might use the information, but you have to do it in a way that doesn't open you to accusations of spreading rumors or acting on unfounded information. For example, if you hear about a job opening you're not supposed to know about, don't approach the boss about that specific job but tell him you're interested in a certain kind of job, the kind it just happens to be.
What if you suspect that your superiors are looking for an excuse to fire you?
Once people want to get rid of you, it's unlikely that you can change their minds. But you can buy time. An auditor in a New York ad agency heard that his boss was grooming someone to replace him. The boss gave the would-be replacement a new job, reporting directly to him. Normally the person in that job would report to the auditor. The boss held a meeting, expecting the auditor to protest. This is what I call a duel. If the auditor fought the duel, he would have looked like an obstructionist and could have been canned. Instead, he offered to train the new guy. This threw off his antagonist. It bought him several more months on the job, during which time he found work elsewhere.
What should you say when people ask you how a meeting went?
Say something noncommittal like "okay." Don't say it went lousy, if it did—that hurts your reputation. Don't lie and say it went wonderful—that hurts your credibility. Always say the same thing. When people hear on the grapevine that the meeting went well, and you haven't bragged about it, they won't think you're trying to show them up. And when you don't do so well they'll be supportive.
How do you avoid "the macho trap"?
That's the most common corporate trap. Everybody who's seen Rebel Without a Cause knows about it. James Dean and another kid drive stolen cars toward a cliff, and the first one to jump out is chicken. Business people are constantly engaged in the same silliness. The sure way to win at chicken, ironically, is to lose. I know of a guy who got his job as district sales manager with a big jewelry company in Los Angeles through nepotism. The salesmen hated him because he was new on the job and didn't know anything. His options were to establish his authority, prove he was more macho than they were, or soft-pedal his power, which is what he did. They became protective of him. They started teaching him the business and he became quite good at it. He deliberately lost the game of chicken.
Why do you recommend choosing sides in office conflicts?
For an entrepreneur, being a loner may be effective. But in a corporation, you must be in a faction whether you want to be or not. You need friends, information. If you don't have friends, in a takeover especially, you're likely to find yourself on the street.
Will you pay a price for not socializing with the boss outside the office?
Many people like their bosses and colleagues but don't enjoy the kind of socializing they do, like drinking. If you go along, you may be miserable. If you consistently decline, they may think you don't want to be around them, and you may as well kiss your aspirations goodbye. But there's a third choice: Invite the boss and colleagues to social events of your choosing. Have them over for dinner. One New York female manager invited the boss to join her and her husband at concerts. One memorable evening can make up for a lot of skipped bar crawls.
What's your short list of general dos and don'ts?
Don't tell the boss what's good for him. It suggests you're his equal and that you know his job better than he does. Don't think you need a mentor. It's hard to tell until it's too late whether or not your boss really has your interests at heart or knows what he's talking about. When negotiating for a raise or promotion, show your boss not what the company will get, but what he'll get. A loyal ally? A hatchet man? A tireless worker? Let him know subtly.
Why do you have such a jaundiced view of business?
I don't think I have a cynical view of business. These are all real stories. Production workers have unions. Top management has power. But supervisors and middle managers are taken for granted and therefore they have practically no job protection. In Japan, companies don't sack middle managers at the drop of a hat, and that will continue to give them an advantage in efficiency and morale. I'm trying to help these people arm themselves. The bullies don't have to win.

Drop by Calguns.net, 2nd Amendment forum, for some discussion of the initiative content and the support for it.
The language in that particular initiative is not very favorable to CA residents.
January 10, 2012, 11:43 PM
Well I didn't read through the entire thread, but I think I got the gist of it. Personally, I think it is pretty shameful of the guys over there opposing it.
They're all skeptical because Piazza is probably just trying to make money. Ha! Well Duh! That would be a gold mine for him if he could start training for CA CCW permits. Why is that bad? How is that a reason not to get behind it?
Then they are concerned that people that have a history of drug abuse could be denied a permit.
Do a survey of criminals, and see how many have a history of drug abuse. It is probably pretty high. I think that is a valid concern for people who might oppose the initiative.
The arguments that it isn't fair for people that have done drugs or are on drugs for mental illness is understandable, but why not make this thing as easy to vote for and to defend as possible? Almost all the high profile mass shootings we have seen in our country have involved shooters who were on prescription meds for mental illness. It is an understandable concern for people on the fence.
Oh well. Maybe they got something better going. I hope so.
January 11, 2012, 01:52 PM
Good luck to you all :)
January 11, 2012, 08:04 PM
I find some wording in the proposed initiative that bother me. Section 3, 26150:
(b) The applicant has no history of medically diagnosed mental illness requiring medication or admission into a mental institution.
(c) The applicant has no history of substance abuse.
(d) The applicant has no history of domestic violence.
The history sources are not defined. (b) Also, there are some medically diagnosed mental "illnesses" that are very effectively treated with modern pharmaceuticals that do not impair function or safety in firearms handling. There should be more specifically defined diseases that disqualify and also those that could be allowed if proper treatment is administered.
(c) Any substance? And what is the legal definition of "abuse"? Can I be denied because I beat a can of Draino with a hammer? This section needs to be specific in that it is intended to cover "illegal drug abuse" and it needs to be specific as to how or what that history is. Neighbor spots you smoking a joint on the back porch and the account of the neighbor is taken at face value? When you were a kid, now as an adult you want a Carry License and get denied? I can see conviction records (NOT arrest records) being considered for clearly defined infractions, not hearsay.
(d) History of DV from where? Unsubstantiated accounts from pissed-off former girl friends or criminal records of filed and investigated complaints?
This thing is way too full of legal vagueness for me and I'm not even close to being an attorney.
January 12, 2012, 03:15 PM
For an analogy, would you favor requiring a voter to complete a 3-semester-unit community college class on your state politics before s/he could exercise the franchise?
I think any gun owner should feel a moral obligation to get training, and even more training if s/he chooses to carry in public. Requiring a specific course of training is anti-rights.
January 14, 2012, 02:08 AM
I understand your point. And I agree. I don't know why you guys don't have an initiative for constitutional carry. My point is that this would be a huge improvement over what you have right now. At least for most people. And it is probably more realistic than getting constitutional carry. I'm not saying once you get this to smile and sit down and stop fighting for more freedom.
January 14, 2012, 02:54 PM
Most of us at Calguns think this initiative is a serious step backwards.
There is also the set of issues around initiatives in general. They used to be something a 'grass roots' campaign could use to get around a recalcitrant legislature; the last time that really worked was the Howard Jarvis Prop 13 campaign of 1978.
These days the process has been seized by 'special interests' (pick your own side); it takes somewhere between 1 and 5 dollars to collect EACH valid signature of the 500,000 needed just to get on the ballot. Then, it takes TENS of MILLIONS of dollars in advertising to get a position to stick in the minds of the voters.
Even if this initiative was wonderful from a gun rights point of view, just suggesting it might be favorable to gun rights would draw the TV and print media into 'protect the children' mode, where every news story would be a free ad opposing it.
History suggests it won't even get on the ballot. I really hope history is right.
January 14, 2012, 08:02 PM
Whether this initiative is good or bad is academic- the California electorate is not going to approve any CCW reform.
March 22, 2012, 07:07 AM
On 02-01-2012, Front Sight pulled the initiative.
Two days ago, I was invited to attend a meeting in San Jose, between Dave Clark, the proponent who wrote the California Shall Issue Concealed Carry proposition that we all have been successfully gathering signatures to place on the November ballot, and Gene Hoffman, a significant player in the California's pro-gun movement.
During the meeting, Mr. Clark was convinced to allow the current Supreme Court bound cases including Richards v. Prieto and Peruta v. San Diego to proceed toward a hopeful, successful conclusion, thus properly positioning California to gain Shall Issue Concealed Carry Status through the courts, instead of the ballot box.
Mr. Clark agreed to withdraw his CA Shall Issue Concealed Carry ballot initiative this cycle to give the legal actions currently in progress an opportunity to succeed, but if not, he received the assurance that a UNIFIED California Shall Issue CCW will be targeted for the 2014 election cycle that ALL pro gun groups in California will support in placing on the ballot, and will work together to win.

Chicana author Ana Castillo to speak March 22
Ana Castillo, novelist, poet, and essayist, has been renowned as one of the most articulate, powerful voices in contemporary Chicana literature. She will speak at Penn State Berks on Thursday, March 22, 2012, at 7:30 p.m. in Perkins Student Center Multipurpose Room. This event is free and open to the public.
Castillo is one of the few Mexican-American writers who has captured the attention of mainstream readers, since her work transcends boundaries of politics, class, and gender. The Guardians, her most recent novel, follows the lives of Mexican immigrants who illegally crossed the border into the United States. Overwhelming realism combined with spiritual transcendence accurately describes The Guardians, which focuses on a family burdened with death and disappearances. Ultimately, Castillo's incandescent novel of anguish and love guides life's journey toward the light even in the bleakest of hours.
This presentation is part of the Arts and Lecture series. For more information, contact the Office of Student Life at 610-396-6076.

Who We Are
The All Academy & ROTC Parents Club was organized in 2003 by a group of parents and friends of college students who attend our nation's service academies, or who will be commissioned as officers when they graduate from colleges where they participate in ROTC programs.
We are a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)3 Tennessee-based organization whose volunteer membership comprises parents and friends of these students, as well as previous graduates from these institutions.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to support students and the families of those attending the United States Military Academy, the United States Naval Academy, the United States Air Force Academy, or any other military college, and those students from Tennessee that are enrolled in a ROTC program.
We assist our nations service academies in their efforts to identify and recruit high school students interested in pursuing a military education, and educate the community about these opportunities.
We hold events during the year that raise money support for the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). These events are the WWP's Soldier Ride, where we host wounded soldiers in an organized charity bike rally, and the All Academy & ROTC Ball where we recognize and honor those young Tennesseans who are pursuing collegiate military leadership training.
What is the Wounded Warrior Project?
The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. It was founded in 2002 by a group of retired military personnel, some of whom had been injured in recent conflicts.
The WWP provides comfort and support to injured soldiers not covered by military or other government programs. Beginning at the bedside of the severely wounded, WWP offers programs and services such as WWP Backpacks, benefits counseling, advocacy, family assistance, the Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project, WWP Outdoors, and the Soldier Ride. These programs and services are designed to ease the burdens of these heros and their families, aid in the recovery process, and smooth the transtition back to civilian life.
Since 2006, our club has helped to raise over $225,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project.

About BabyList
BabyList is the baby registry that lets you register for exactly what you want for your baby from the retailers of your choice - including your favorite local or independent shops (like Etsy).
I created BabyList when I was pregnant with my son and was trying to create my own baby registry. I knew exactly what I wanted - frozen meals, pet sitting for our German Shepard, an eco-friendly diaper service - and there just wasn't an online registry that suited my needs.
Being a bit on the geeky side I decided to create a better online baby registry. BabyList launched just two weeks before my son was born. It was too late for me to use it, but I'm thrilled that so many people are finding it useful.
Our mission at BabyList is to make baby registries more personal and less overwhelming. If you're ever feeling stuck and need help with your registry contact me personally by email email@example.com.

By Bio-IT World Staff
April 15, 2014 | The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this morning issued the first patent to cover CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, awarding the Broad Institute a patent for a version of the CRISPR-Cas9 system used to modify the DNA of mammalian cells. The technology covered by this patent was first demonstrated in a January 2013 Science paper by senior author Feng Zhang, who has previously discussed his work on CRISPR-Cas9 with Bio-IT World for a feature on the gene therapy company Editas, of which Zhang is a founding member. While CRISPR-Cas9 exists in nature as a defense mechanism against viruses shared by many species of bacteria, the elaborate system of DNA-cutting proteins and guide RNA sequences requires extensive engineering to function in eukaryotic cells, and to insert new genes where the targeted host DNA is excised. These modifications are patentable under U.S. and international law.
In announcing the patent, the Broad Institute reemphasized its commitment to sharing insights and capabilities in CRISPR gene editing with scientists around the world. "Consistent with the Broad's mission to accelerate the understanding and treatment of disease, we are committed to empowering the global research community by making this technology broadly available to scientists for research around the world," said Institute Director Eric Lander in a press statement.
CRISPR has been cited as a very promising mechanism for curing genetic disease in humans, and has already been demonstrated in live mammals including cynomolgus monkeys and mice, in addition to its use in numerous basic research studies. The underlying chemistry of the Cas9 protein continues to be explored.

Sexual health is an integrated care-delivery and prevention concept that recognizes sexual expression as normative and encompasses preventive and treatment services throughout the life span. However, the United States lacks an integrated approach to sexual health. Public health programs such as sexually transmitted disease (STD)/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention and family planning are categorically funded and organizationally fragmented, and federal reproductive health programs in the past decade emphasized abstinence. As a result, sexual health indicators are poor. Incidence of HIV has not decreased since the 1990s,1 and rates of STDs, unintended pregnancy, teen pregnancy, and abortion are higher than in many developed countries.2 "Sexual health" does not appear once in the more than 1000 pages of the new health care legislation. Nevertheless, the public is keenly interested in sexual health, as evidenced by the uptake of recent medical advances. For example, there are an estimated 17 million prescriptions for erectile dysfunction annually,3 and 26 million doses of human papillomavirus vaccine have been administered since its licensure in 2006.4

NOTE: All of this was current in, uh, 2002 or so. Both the facts and the opinions may have changed since. I'm leaving it on for historical reasons at the moment...
Clemens F. Hofreither

I live in Austria, and I'm about (Fall 2002) to begin studying AppliedMathematics
at the Johannes Keppler Universit�t in Linz. Yes, that implies that I am fascinated by mathematics. Other than that, I do a lot of programming in my spare time, which - inter alia - got me the job I'm working at this summer.
At my summer job, I participate in a project to control and supervise automobile factories, but in my spare time my programming interests are obviously targeted at a slightly different direction. Precisely, I do a lot of game programming, with all its related issues like 2D graphics, 3D graphics, network programming and so on (see the link above). I feel
is the
for this area, so this is why I'm pretty proficient in it (or at least I think so, I'm sure other people would disagree). Lately, however, I've started using
in my projects as a
and am delighted with its simplicity and easy way of extending applications.
At work, I have just learned using
and the
framework. Considering it's a
product, it's amazingly simple to get productive results with. (As much as I hate admitting it.)
Another interest of mine is the
; although I have to admit I still use the evil
operating system (currently in its 2000 variety, which is better than the 9x's I've used before) in daily work, I love playing around with my Linux system; for instance, I've tried writing some modules for the
with good success. Another nice thing I've accomplished is setting up the Linux system in such a way that I can boot my Win2k machine to Linux just by inserting a special boot disk; the Win2k box then gets the kernel from the Linux system, imports some NFS file systems and is fully functional, including the KDE graphical user interface.
Of course, I'm not an all-computer person. I have several (often it seems to me, too many) other interests, including:
Some of my favourite bands are Sonic Youth, Radiohead, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Sigur Ros, Nine Inch Nails, Tool... I guess I'm pretty much on the alternative side of music. I personally play the trumpet, the electric guitar and a bit of keyboard. I've also done some experiments with electronic music on the PC, very interesting.
. Lately I've started playing the
, mostly against computer programs and online against other people. I'm fascinated by the way grandmasters build up a delicately balanced network of mutual protection between pieces and use this network to strike at weaknesses in the opponent's position which they identify by careful scrutiny and analysis. Now obviously I'm not getting anywhere near this level, but I'm at least trying. See
for an interesting discussion.
. Another pastime of mine, though I'm not too successful with this as of yet. I just have a not-too-exciting small reflector and have tried to find some of the easier objects with mixed success. A good planetarium software helps, though.
As I look at this list, I realize that all of these things have at least some connection to computers. Should I be worried now?

Their pitching statistics suggest both could finish first. But awards already announced appear to indicate that neither will bring home the hardware this week.
Verlander went 19-9 and tied for the major league lead in wins, while leading the majors with 269 strikeouts and 240 innings pitched.
Porcello was 14-9 with a 3.96 ERA, winning more games and making more starts (31) than any other big league rookie.
Kansas City Royals ace Zack Greinke was named The Sporting News AL pitcher of the year, and the past 14 to get that honor also won the Cy Young.
Greinke also was chosen the league's top pitcher in the Players Choice Awards with Toronto's Roy Halladay and New York's CC Sabathia being the other finalists.
Chicago White Sox third baseman Gordon Beckham was The Sporting News AL rookie of the year, and that winner has gone onto also win that award from the league every year since 2004. Beckham also won the Players Choice Award as top rookie with Tampa Bay pitcher Jeff Niemann and Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus being finalists.
The AL Rookie of the Year, announced Monday, and the AL Cy Young results, released Tuesday, are voted upon by two members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America from each city with a team.
Greinke's major league-low 2.16 ERA, 242 strikeouts and 16-8 record for the Royals will be tough to overcome for Verlander.
love to see Verlander get it," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "It'll
probably go to
Greinke, but I think Verlander did a hell of a job pitching in big games and kept us in it. You can make a case for him winning the Cy Young, and he certainly deserves it. He's as good as it gets."
While Leyland seems resigned to Greinke winning, he believes Porcello is the Rookie of the Year favorite.
"I think he's the top candidate," Leyland said. "Porcello won a lot of games for us, and pitched well in the biggest game of the year. You can make a strong case for this guy. I can't imagine him not being a strong contender."
Porcello, 20, pitched his way into the rotation in spring training, and went from throwing 125 innings for Class A Lakeland in 2008 to 1702/3 innings in the majors. He was 5-2 with a 3.19 ERA after Aug. 1.

But who is the man behind the mask? PEOPLE caught up with the 29-year-old shortly before he headed to Sochi to round up some intel on the adorable athlete (but sorry ladies, he's taken).
1. He's been wearing skis since he could walk
"My parents started me in skiing when I was 2," he explains. "They put up with me when I was a little kid kicking and screaming down the slope, allowed me to foster my love for it, and taught me about hard work." It paid off: by age 10, "I decided I really wanted to become a ski racer," he says. "Every kid has a dream of being a pro athlete, but I worked hard until it came to fruition."
2. If you're not following him on Twitter, you should be
Ligety is only home about 70 days a year – meaning he's out on cool skiing adventures the rest. So "it's fun to share stuff," he says. "I take pictures wherever I go, because I'm documenting it for myself but also sharing it with my fans. My parents actually have a lot of fun following along, too; sometimes that's easier for them to know exactly what I'm seeing, than talking on the phone every once in a while."
3. It's not always fun being an athlete
Though there's not much he loves more than hitting the slopes, "there's parts of it that are a job," Ligety says of his sport. "But I would say 95 percent of the time it's a lot of fun. When you're skiing it's fun, but the middle of the summer when you're in the gym working out and there's no snow around – that's not always so fun. But I know what I'm doing it for, so it keeps my motivation high."
4. He's cute with kids
For one week of every year, Ligety coaches kids at ski camp in Park City, Utah. "Our age range is actually like 7 to 87, but I'm generally with kids in the 10 to 13 range, just starting ski racing, so it's always fun to work with them," he shares.
5. His gold medal is in a very safe place
"My mom keeps them," Ligety, who's part of P&G's "Thank You, Mom" campaign, admits of his 2006 gold and all of his additional awards. "She's more protective of that kind of stuff than I am."
Catch Ligety Sunday beginning at 7 p.m. ET on NBC.

text: Explore Umbria Perugia Lago Trasimeno Città di Castello Gubbio Assisi Spello and around Spoleto The Valnerina Terni Narni and around Todi Orvieto Share The cuisine of landlocked, hilly Umbria relies heavily on rustic staples – pastas and roast meats – and in the past tended to be simple and homely. The region is also the only area outside Piemonte where truffles are found in any abundance, and their perfumed shavings, particularly in the east of the region, find their way onto eggs, pasta, fish and meat – but at a price that prohibits overindulgence. Meat plays a leading role – especially lamb and pork, which is made into hams, sausage, salami and, most famously, porchetta, whole suckling pig stuffed with rosemary or sage, roasted on a spit. Game may also crop up on some menus, most often as pigeon, pheasant or guinea fowl. The range of fish is restricted by the lack of a coast, but trout can be caught from the Nera River and Clitunno springs, while the lakes of Piediluco and Trasimeno yield eel, pike, tench and grey mullet. Vegetable delicacies include tiny lentils from Castelluccio, beans from Trasimeno, and celery and cardoons from around Trevi. Umbrian olive oil, though less hyped than Tuscan oils, is of excellent quality – about 90 percent is extra virgin – particularly that from around Trevi and Spoleto. As for desserts, Perugia is renowned for its chocolate and pastries. Cheeses tend to be standard issue, although some smaller producers survive in the mountains around Norcia and Gubbio. Umbria used to be best known outside Italy for fresh, dry white wines. Orvieto, once predominantly a medium-sweet wine, has been revived in a dry style. The wine was beloved of the artists and architects of Orvieto's Duomo: Luca Signorelli requested a thousand litres per year by contract. In recent years the pre-eminence of Orvieto in the domestic market has been successfully challenged by Grechetto, an inexpensive and almost unfailingly good wine made by countless producers across the region. Umbria's quest for quality is also increasingly reflected in a growing number of small producers, many of whom have followed the lead of Giorgio Lungarotti, one of the pioneers of Umbrian viticulture (any wine with his name on is reliable), and in some outstanding reds, notably the Torgiano Rosso Riserva DOCG and the Sagrantino DOCG of Montefalco. The region has four wine routes (strade del vino): the Strada del Sagrantino, around Montefalco; the Strada dei Vini del Cantico between Todi, Perugia, Torgiano, Spello and Assisi; the Strada del Vino Colli del Trasimeno; and the Strada dei Vini Etrusco-Romano, in the province of Terni.

In at least one respect, Joe Conti, the (sort of) outgoing head of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, is the perfect man for the job: We can't seem to get rid of the LCB, and we can't seem to get rid of Conti, either.
Conti is serving his last week as the alcohol monopoly's CEO, but he and the agency have already seen to it that his retirement party will presage a throbbing hangover. Two weeks after he leaves his $156,000-a-year post, The Inquirer reported last week, Conti will be eligible to return as a very costly temp.
At the LCB's request, the state has approved the once and future booze minister to work up to 95 days as a consultant at $80 an hour. Assuming typical workdays, that would allow Conti to collect up to $57,000 on top of his annual pension, which has been estimated at $60,000.

No Buddy Left Behind: Bringing U. S. Troop's Dogs and Cats Safely Home from the Combat Zoneby Terri Crisp C. J. Hurn
The love of a dog or cat helps heal soldiers' emotional trauma. One very special woman and program brings them back together after the war. No Buddy Left Behind is an animal book with a difference. It is not only about rescued dogs and cats, but also about U. S. soldiers trying to survive the horrors of war and readjust to life back home. It unveils the life-altering relationships American troops serving in the Middle East share with the stray dogs and cats they rescue from the brutalities of war. Overcoming monumental obstacles, Terri Crisp makes it her mission to save these wartime "buddies," get them out of danger, and bring them home to the soldiers who love them. So, how does someone get animals out of a country at war when normal resources are lacking and every step of a plan to transport animals could get you arrested, kidnapped, or blown apart? As Crisp soon learns, each rescue mission from first to last is a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants experience, and no animal is truly safe until its paws touch American soil. Terri and her team have saved the lives of 223 dogs and forty-two cats befriended by military personnel since February 2008-and No Buddy Left Behind finally tells this story.
Out of Harm's Way: The Extraordinary True Story of One Women's Lifelong Devotion to Animal Rescueby Terri Crisp
Terri Crisp chronicles her efforts to save animals from abuse, accidents, and natural disasters, sharing some of her more memorable rescues and offering pet owners advice on how to prepare for disaster situations.

Starting Bid - $400.00, Sold For - $928.00
Now available for the collector's viewing pleasure.... four full reels of 16mm film that chronicle highlights of World Series action from days gone by.

The films are presented on their original spools and are protected by their original custom tins. Precisely, these films include the Fall Classics of 1952, 1959, 1960, and 1969. The lids of two of these tins bear a label referencing Major League Baseball. Herein, are the glory moments of famous fielding - Martin in '52; the first world championship for a West Coast team in '59; Mazeroski's walk-off home run; and innumerable other spellbinding moments in World Series competition. This is a time capsule of cinematic images from an earlier era which are rarely seen in any form, and can be enjoyed today just as when originally produced for release and distribution by Major League Baseball.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — If crime was an olympic sport, clearing the Boca Raton Police hurdle would undoubtedly be a gold medal accomplishment. The department's impressive detective squad noted that something didn't seem quite right in the area of 116 NE Wavecrest Way.
Here's what happened next…according to the PD:
On Wednesday, March 6, 2013, at approximately 4:00 p.m., Boca Raton Police detectives were in the area of 116 NE Wavecrest Way when they saw a rental van parked in the driveway and two males standing at the front door. As detectives watched, the males got into the van and drove slowly out of the area. Detectives followed the van and as it entered I-95 from Palmetto Park Road.
Officers stopped the van and made contact with the driver, Jason Demitro, and passenger, Perry Quick. Demitro said he was in Boca Raton to look at a Corvette he had seen advertised for sale on Craig's List. He said he met with the owner of the Corvette, who lives in the area of NE 44th Street near Dixie Highway, and he gave officers the owner's phone number. Demitro said that after looking at the car, they left and drove down A1A to Palmetto Park Road and made no other stops. Quick gave a similar account of their actions. Officers called the owner of the Corvette who said he lives on Wavecrest Way and that he spoke with the two subjects about the car when they showed up at his house. Both suspects then changed their stories, but still insisted they hadn't stopped at any other homes.
Officers continued to question the inconsistencies of Demitro's and Quick's ever changing stories. The resident at 116 NE Wavecrest Way identified Demitro and Quick as the two men who knocked on her door. Officers arrested Demitro and Quick for loitering and prowling.
