There was a lot of disappointment on Friday when Carvers Bay lost 28-21 to Christ Church in the Class A state championship.
But the disappointment was "for" the players, not "in" the players.
"This team, they summed themselves up as family," said head coach James "Nate' Thompson. "That's the difference. It's not all the talent. We've got one or two kids with great talent. The rest are just ordinary kids that came out and worked hard since Aug. 1."
After the game, coaches took turns consoling the distraught players, expressing love and admiration, and reminding the young men not to hang their heads. This team will forever be remembered as Lower State champions, one of the top teams in the state.
"Who are we?" Thompson asked.
"Bears," was resounding answer.
Carvers Bay was the 40th straight team to lose to Christ Church, and the third straight to lose in a state championship.
The Bears won the coin toss but deferred, and the defense held the Cavaliers to a three-and-out.
Devin Cuttino then got Carvers Bay on the board first with a 31-yard touchdown run with 8:41 left in the first quarter.
Christ Church struck right back with a 65-yard touchdown pass on the next play from scrimmage to take a 7-6 lead.
Hikeem Hampton gave Carvers Bay great field position by returning the ensuing kickoff back to the 44-yard-line. The Bears offense looked like it was going to stall, but quarterback Israel Davis converted a fourth-and-one and Chris Carter then scored a touchdown to give Carvers Bay a 14-7 lead with 1:30 left in the first quarter.
But as with the Bears' first touchdown, Christ Church needed only one play from scrimmage to tie the score, this time on a 60-yard run.
"We just had to slow it down," Thompson said. "A lot of times we were just overrunning the guy. We were running by them."
The Cavaliers extended their lead on their next drive when quarterback Demetrius Anthony recovered his own fumble and ran it in.
Less than a minute later Cuttino raced 81 yards to tie the score at 21-21.
Carvers Bay had two more scoring opportunities when Oneil Johnson forced a fumble on a crushing sack, and Tyrell Richard grabbed an interception, but both drives stalled.
Christ Church then ate up the rest of the second quarter on a long scoring drive to take a 28-21 lead with 58.6 seconds left in the half.
Neither team found the end zone in the second half. The Cavaliers missed two field goals and the Bears had a fumble, an interception and a failed fake punt that stopped drives.
"We both made changes," Thompson said. "We both started throwing haymakers at each other and it became a defensive battle."
Cuttino led the Carvers Bay offense with 143 rushing yards. Carter had 65 yards, Terry Bromell had 37, Davis had 30 and Hampton had 20.
"Both of us wanted to win," Cuttino said. "They were just the better team tonight."
"It was a war, it wasn't just a game," Johnson said. Both teams had to keep fighting."
Davis completed one pass for 15 yards to Brandon Young.
Davis, a junior, will bring a year at starting quarterback with him for his senior season. He said the loss will motivate the junior class to work hard to get back to the title game next year.
Raheem Dease and Johnson led the Bears' defense. Dease had 10 tackles and Johnson had nine tackles and two sacks.
Richard and Naquez Pringle had five tackles each; Carter, Marquiese Goss and Darius Carr had three tackles each; and Lewis Morant had a sack.
Carvers Bay finished the season 12-2.
"The challenge we put before ourselves is that next year we want to back here again," Thompson said. "And I've got a feeling this group is gonna work hard. I don't know where we're going to end up but it's going to be something good."
People shouldn't ever overlook Carvers Bay, Thompson added.
"We have to earn everything. We're that little school out in the country. We're not Myrtle Beach. We're not Conway. We're not the big schools. We're that little 1A school in the woods."

Still, the Jets sensed the Saints might bring out the best in their second-leading rusher, whether due to an added sense of pride or the fact the Saints came to the Meadowlands today getting carved for 4.8 yards each time an opposing rusher touched the ball this season.
Jets coach Rex Ryan named Ivory a game captain. During pregame introductions, Ivory was the last player sent out of the tunnel.
There was a practical purpose in believing Ivory would bash the Saints defense, as well. With Drew Brees guiding a powerful Saints offense, the Jets required a productive rushing attack to chew up yards and eat time off the clock.
By game's end, Ivory had left tire tracks on the chests of Saints defenders with his "punch-you-in-the-face" style, as the Jets coach put it.
He blasted through the visitors 18 times for 139 yards, the second-highest total of his career. A three-yard run in the second quarter resulted in Ivory's first touchdown as a Jet. After the game, the ball resided in his locker. Most importantly, Ivory said, the Jets won, 26-20.
"I'm not satisfied, I'm happy," Ivory said. "We won, that's what matters. Hopefully we'll continue to do it."
Ivory has played a significant role in the Jets' two biggest victories this season, and as the air chills it seems increasingly evident he has cemented a prominent place in the Jets backfield. Against the New England Patriots he had 104 yards on 34 carries. By comparison, his yards today came in larger quantities — 27, 30, 52 yards at a time.
"They were arguing on their side of the ball," Willie Colon, the Jets' right guard, said of how Ivory helped stagger the Saints defense. "They were trying to figure out what was going on. We just kept plugging away at it and knew they were going to crack.
"They couldn't figure out why we was kicking their butt."
Ivory's 52-yard run — the longest of his career — three seconds into the second quarter kick-started the Jets. Buried at their own 2-yard line, Ivory busted through Curtis Lofton at the line of scrimmage and down the sideline until Kenny Vaccaro tracked him down at the Saints' 46.
"It swung momentum," Jets receiver David Nelson said. "We needed something. We needed a big play."
This offseason, the Saints deemed Ivory excess in a crowded backfield. In April, they traded him to the Jets for a fourth-round draft choice. Today they could have made use of his bullying style, with Khiry Robinson inactive and Darren Sproles knocked from the game in the first quarter. The Saints rushed for merely 41 yards.
Jets teammates said it is inevitable to be energized against a former team. But even in the huddle, Josh Cribbs said, Ivory remained calm.
The closest Ivory came to expressing the sentiment was calling his performance "special." He prefers to let his legs do the talking.
Perhaps, though, we should just listen to Ivory when he says those feelings, present or otherwise, isn't what matters most.
"It's huge, but at the same time he's a Jet now," Colon said. "He stood up in a major way for us."

The new homeowner had a home inspector and a bank inspector in the home prior to purchase. Both inspectors missed a bimetallic damper and a plastic dryer vent pipe on a gas dryer. Worse, the dryer vent had a stocking over the end, venting into the basement, and exhausting both moisture and carbon monoxide (CO) into the home.

Richard Martinez, who tearfully lashed out at "craven, irresponsible politicians" and the National Rifle Association the day after his son Christopher was gunned down in the Isla Vista massacre, now wants to meet with the father of the shooter.
"I lost my son. He lost his son. We have that in common," Martinez tells the Los Angeles Times. "We want, if possible, that the deaths of our son and his son should mean something."
Elliot Rodger, 22, the son of Hollywood movie director Peter Rodger, was suspected of stabbing three men to death in his apartment before going on a shooting spree through the neighborhood near the University of California, Santa Barbara, on Friday night, killing three more, including Christopher Martinez, at a deli. All six victims were UCSB students.
Simon Astaire, a writer and a close friend of the Rodger family, tells PEOPLE that Elliot's parents want to meet the families of the victims.
"It will be done," he says, adding, "They're grieving ... even more for the victims than for their son. ... They want to meet them. It is an important part for them."

Album: Try Love
I have something to tell you
And I know it won't be easy
I've been thinking these past few days
It might be time to leave
You're like a stranger
Then you're a lover
Never the same
Always hard to believe
(*) I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Never knowing quite where I stand
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Falling both ways nowhere to land
So constantly stranded
I can't understant it
This double life you've handed me
Is like the devil and the deep blue sea
If we go on much longer
If my doubts grow any stronger
Then I may have to let you go
If only to survive
Give me a reason
Why should I stary here?
I've tried so hard
Just to keep love alive
Repeat (*)

Well, I haven't loaded Linux on that one, but I did load 0.99 on a
386 from floppies and found it straight forward and a tolerable chore.
IMHO, I'd check with the major Linux distributors to see if I could
find one with an installation kit for that system. Otherwise I'd
turn the job over to my kids who've gone through a couple dozen
versions of Linux and several other free UNIX on two different Macs.
32MB may seem like way too little for some users, but if you're not
running the latest heavy duty graphics and sonud intensive games I've
seen Linux running on 1MB single board computers so 32MB ought to be
enough to keep the kids happy. We used to run adventure in a few KB
just fine, I don't think its grown any in the last couple decades.

Jimmy Rollins submerged his body in a hot tub Sunday morning to prepare for the Phillies' 155th game. His teammates were instructed to appear in the clubhouse. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. escorted Ryne Sandberg into the room and introduced him as the franchise's 52d manager. His players said, "I see you," to repeat a Sandberg refrain used for compliments.
"I was kind of upset," Rollins said. "He pulled me out of the hot tub for that. It wasn't news to me."
The shortstop smiled. Sandberg's tenure as interim manager lasted 37 days, and a three-year contract, made official Sunday, surprised no one. Sandberg achieved baseball immortality in Cooperstown eight years ago, but this was a moment forged on minor-league bus rides and major-league rejections.

EAST LIVERPOOL - A downtown business icon is now under new day-to-day management and some changes are planned.
The Oasis Cafe is known to have a strong clientele, but brothers Eric Wiley and Jeremy Hinton plan to expand the offerings and attract a younger-skewing generation into the Oasis family.
Terry, Ron and Cheryl are not totally out of the picture, but Jeremy and Eric are now at the helm and took over at the beginning of the year.

Both run the business, but Eric mainly works behind the bar while Jeremy spends time in the kitchen.
"We listened to our customers and decided to bring wings back to the menu," Jeremy said. "Some of the other ideas are works in progress while we get feedback from our regular customers and the new ones."
Six, basic, flavors of wings will be on the menu with an emphasis on a specific flavor each day.
"We want to have something like beers from around the world on display, and people can check them off as they go along," Eric said about some of his plans.
Both Eric and Jeremy are 1990 Beaver Local High School graduates and have spent the majority of their lives in the East Liverpool area.
Both were active in wrestling and track and cross country. The sports background lends itself to running a sports and entertainment bar.
Eric spent five years in the military before returning home, and Jeremy has been in the restaurant or bar business for years.
"We consider Oasis to be a sports bar and grill," Eric said.
"We'd like to start catering to the younger adult crowd those that want a place to go to relax and unwind or share some time with friends," Jeremy added.
The two hope to bring in other attractions and host special events like car shows, a bike night, pool league tournaments and possibly a cage match.
The energetic duo said the Oasis is just the right spot and has a lot to offer.
From Monday margarita night to Friday classic rock night, Oasis has, or will soon add, something for just about everyone.
"Our main goal is to bring back the atmosphere that people enjoyed," Eric said.
The Oasis Cafe is located at 644 St. Clair Ave. in downtown East Liverpool and can be reached at 330-385-9322. The business is open 11 a.m. until 2:30 a.m. Monday-Saturday and noon until 6 p.m. on Sunday. Happy hour is from 3-6 p.m.
The Cheesesteak Connection inside the Oasis Cafe is open 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

Faced with an international firestorm, the White House is mulling four options for restructuring the NSA phone spying program. Is it a sign of greater transparency?
Members of Congress and constitutional law experts are warning President Barack Obama is taking over powers that should belong to Congress.
The House committee investigating the Internal Revenue Service's illegal targeting of conservative groups is recalling former IRS official Lois Lerner.
State attorneys general who think their state's gay marriage bans are unconstitutional shouldn't have to defend them, according Attorney Gen. Holder.
The U.S. Supreme Court is delaying action in the case of the German home school family seeking to continue asylum in America.
House Republicans are set to unveil a plan to simplify the tax code.
The new budget ignores an earlier offer to cut back on government spending, a central component that received Republican support but was opposed by many Democrats.
Pollster Pat Caddell said the reason Republican leadership hasn't pushed for a high level investigation of the IRS is because they want the agency to go after the Tea Party.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is questioning President Barack Obama's commitment to religious freedom in the United States.
President Barack Obama has repeatedly made changes by himself to his health care law when it's run into problems and polls show the public doesn't like it.
Government attorneys in Pennsylvania are appealing injunctions against Obamacare's contraceptive mandate granted to religious groups.
The Obama administration said about 1 million people signed up for Obamacare in January, the first time the new law has met a target since its disastrous launch.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and a top Tea Party leader are suing their own government on behalf of "everyone in America who has a phone."
Claims that the Internal Revenue Service has continued to target conservative and Tea Party groups aren't dying down.
The White House has postponed the mandate forcing medium-sized businesses provide health coverage to workers. The move has critics questioning whether such changes are legal.
Speaking at Thursday's National Prayer Breakfast, the president called for the release of Pastor Saeed Abedini, who's been imprisoned in Iran for more than 18 months.
Obamacare will cost the nation 2.5 million workers over the next 10 years, according to a new report by the Congressional Budget Office.
Debate over the debt ceiling is about to heat up again in the nation's capital.
The Senate is moving ahead to pass a massive farm bill Tuesday. The House approved the measure last week.
President Obama endured a grilling from Fox News host Bill O'Reilly in a pre-Super Bowl interview Sunday on everything from healthcare reform to Benghazi.

Yes, I Know How to Prevent "That"emily
And by "that", you're referring to my children, right?
Friends and strangers, I know having a large family isn't for everybody. And I get that you think raising four kids in this economy is an absolutely insane idea, one you believe borders on complete irresponsibility.
But you know what? I always wanted and dreamed of being a mom to four children. And despite what you think to be true, Paul wasn't an accident.
But thanks for making me feel like he was.
Last week, when I was walking all four kids into school, another parents made me feel completely horrible about myself and my family.
I was carrying Paul with one arm, and slowly dragging my two year old along with the other (because he refused to use his legs, I know you've been there). My four year old was stomping her feet, refusing to walk with the group. Piper (my seven year old, who we were dropping off at school) was obediently walking by my side, as was her friend we were also dropping off at school.
There were five of them, and only one of me. I was woefully outnumbered, and the children were taking advantage of my desperate situation by causing a scene. I'm sure we looked like a herd of angry elephants.
As my ill-tempered caravan schlepped into school, another mom quickly walked right passed me and flippantly exclaimed: "you know how to prevent that, right?"
She then made the imaginary scissors "snip snip" sign in the air with her two fingers, referring to her suggestion that my husband needs to get a vasectomy.
Um, thanks for your suggestion and kind words?
While I'm typically quick to shrug this kind of stuff off (as it happens to me all the time), this particular morning I was struggling both physically and emotionally. I was sleep deprived, it was 7:45 AM, and I was struggling to get kids to their classroom before the tardy bell rang.
And then I was proverbially kicked down, basically by a stranger who decided to drive it home that I got myself into this mess because I don't know how to properly use birth control.
So what should she have done?
She could have held the door opened for me, and helped me in to the building. Or she could have said something kind or encouraging. Heck, even an friendly grin would have sufficed.
Or she could have kept her mouth shut, which would have been preferred.
I get it. I have a lot of kids. But I also know what birth control is, and my children were not accidents.
Are you raising a large family? Have you ever experienced the unkind words of a stranger?

Timeline of the Big Three bailout
Friday - Chrysler and General Motors each get $4 billion in loans.
January - GM gets another $5.4 billion in loans.
February - If Congress agrees, GM gets another $4 billion.
March - GM and Chrysler must show they are making progress in becoming more competitive or the government can revoke the loans.
The person determining whether companies have made their best efforts to get those concessions will be an Obama appointee. Several workers said that makes them feel a little bit better about what's coming next.
"I am extremely, but cautiously, optimistic about President Obama," said Brian Peshek, an employee at Chrysler's Twinsburg Stamping Plant. He added that politicians know who their friends are, and "the Democrats have always had to answer to labor and have taken care of labor."
During hearings this month, Corker and other bailout opponents focused on labor costs, saying Detroit's automakers should pay workers what Toyota and Honda pay their American employees.
While wages are almost identical, UAW workers usually receive much more generous health-care benefits. Detroit's automakers are also paying benefits for millions of retirees.
Pesce said that even with Obama in office, he expects calls for wage cuts to succeed.
"Now that the ball is rolling, the company is going to take that ball and make it roll faster," he said.
UAW leaders have argued that the union has already agreed to cuts. New hires at Big Three plants make about $14 per hour, about half the wages of senior workers, and the union tackled retiree health care costs in the 2007 contract.
In the new contract, the UAW agreed to let automakers create trust funds to handle retiree health-care costs by 2010. The union-managed trusts would eliminate the biggest competitive disadvantage in labor costs, but GM, Ford and Chrysler don't have the money to create the funds....

BALTIMORE - The 10 Tibetan Buddhist monks spent the week crouched on an art studio floor, coaxing millions of grains of sand into an intricate, brilliantly colored circle.
Sunday morning, the monks held a brief ceremony, then scattered the sand into the waters of Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
The ritual, which will be repeated in a 22-city American tour, celebrates the mandala, an ancient Tibetan art form central to Buddhism.
"We hope that through this activity we can help this city by bringing more awareness of the value of inner peace," said Tensin Chosam, the interpreter for the group from the Drepung Gomang Monastery in India. "We wish to tell people that love, compassion and tolerance will give individuals a chance to enjoy their lives."
Working in shifts as long as 12 hours, the monks used a small metal funnel and wood-palette outline to painstakingly arrange vegetable-dyed sand over a four-square-foot surface at the American Visionary Art Museum.
Mandalas, which are designed to represent different spiritual qualities, are meant to heal the environment or living beings. The monks selected the design of Lord Avalokiteshvara, which symbolizes compassion.
About 200 people watched as the monks swept part of the design into gold-colored containers to distribute to onlookers and poured the rest into the harbor, an act intended to spread the spiritual meaning.
"The mandala has nothing to do with substance," Chosam said. "It is not material. It's spiritual."
The monks are raising money for their monastery, which houses many Tibetan Buddhists exiled by Chinese repression.
"You are filled with a sense of amazement that someone can painstakingly create something with that much meaning and detail and then destroy it," said Baltimore resident Virginia Eanes, who helped arrange the monks' visit. "But that's the essence of Buddhist life. Nothing's permanent."

Man killed after confrontation with police in Indio
Happened near Auto Zone on Highway 111 and Monroe in Indio
An Indio police officer has shot and killed a suspect, who reportedly had a gun, near Auto Zone on Highway 111 and Monroe.
The Shooting happened, just after 1:30 p.m. Thursday, after Indio police got a call for service, about a suspicious man with a gun in the area. The suspect was located west of the Auto Zone, next to Jack in the Box.
Indio Police Public Information Officer Ben Guitron says, that the officer approached the suspect, and some sort of altercation occurred and the officer fired his weapon. The suspect was shot, and later died.
The parking lot of the Auto Zone and Jack and the Box were shut down for hours while detectives investigated the shooting. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department will be in charge of the investigation.

Keyshawn Thinks Jets Players Ready For Change
The New York Jets quarterback competition hasn't approached the fever pitch of last summer, but former Jets wideout Keyshawn Johnson?s not above stirring the pot, and said he thinks he sees which way it?s pointing.
The ESPN analyst told Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com that he thinks Geno Smith will eventually prevail over Mark Sanchez, primarily by virtue of being the new guy.
?Geno will add another dimension of attitude to the team,? Johnson said. ?The players are probably more receptive to him than Mark. I would think the players like him more than Mark. They?ve been around Mark and they?re tired of Mark?s [crap]. That?s how players think. Geno Smith is the new wave. He?s hip, he?s cool. Mark is in a tough spot.?

Hi All,
I like to know, is it NULL and Space value is same in ABAP, if it is not how to check null value.
Thank you.
Hi Senthil,
You check the null value using INITIAL..
IF NOT w_matnr IS INITIAL.
IF w_matnr IS INITIAL.
Suresh Datti
Dear Senthil,
NULL of oracle is reffered as INITIAL in ABAP. As such INITIAL and '' have same meaning. If you want to specifically check with space then you use SPACE reserved word.
Hello Senthil,
the above replies are not correct. A NULL value on Oracle level is something completely different from the SPACE value on SAP side. In SAP environments NOT NULL constraints are often used, so NULL values should not appear so often. But under certain conditions (e.g. in order to avoid time-consuming conversions when adding a column to a table) the NOT NULL constraint is omitted by the SAP DDIC. In this case a column can contain both NULL and SPACE values. In order to capture both you have to select for both:
<column> = ' ' or <column> IS NULL
If you forget the second part, the result set is not complete. See also note 617679.
Martin Frauendorfer
SAP Active Global Support - Technology
Hello Martin,
We have a AIX/Oracle system and will migrate it to Win/Oracle.
In our system there are a few custom tables that have NULL columns and a oracle level program controls this NULL values.
After we migrated the system We saw that NULL columns changed to NOT NULL values with initial value and our oracle level program is broken.
1- Is it mandotary for SAP to change this NULL values to NOT NULL ?
2- Can I change this NOT NULL columns for a specified table to NULL in .STR or .SQL files ?
Hello Senthil,
I think I was to fast saying that the above answers are not correct, sorry. They are also valid. But nevertheless you may also consider the information I wrote in my above reply.
everything is correct though some answers are not correct.
A Database NULL value represents a field that has never been stored to database - this saving space, potentially.
Usually all SAP tables are stored with all fields, empty fields are stored with their initial value.
But: If a new table append is created and the newly-added fields do not have the 'initial value' marked in table definition, Oracle will just set NULL values for them.
as mentioned: There is no NULL value to be stored in an ABAP field. The IS NULL comparison is valid only for WHERE clause in SELECT statement. WHERE field = space is different from WHERE field IS NULL. That's why you should check for both specially for appended table fields.
If a record is selected (fulfilling another WHERE condition) into an internal table or work area, NULL values are convertted to their initial values anyway.
Hope that sheds some light on the subject!
hey can i guess the answer!!! ia ma just a beginer, but then what i know is when making tables in abap if u check the initial indicator it transfers null value to the data base that is : eg: suppose u r using abap with oracle database the initial value of for eg: type n here(abap) is 00000 ... however in oracle it mite be different......, so if u uinsert null values through abap it takes the initial values of the database else if u put nothing in aba it takes the initial value of abap ...!!!!! comments needed!!!!
yes, you guess quite right.
A NULL value in the database means that ORACLE will not use physical storage space for the value. NULL means there is nothing, not even an initial value stored.
If ABAP inserts a structured database record, all fields are populated in the database, at least storing the initial value for a field. I don't even know the way to store NULL values using ABAP open SQL statements.
An unchanged standard SAP dictionary table should not carry any NULL values because always the whole structured record is transfered to the database.
But because you can never know for sure, a selection for unpopulated fields should compare for the initial value OR space OR NULL.
When writing to the database (insert or update), just don't care.
I have a similar problem. I have a requirement to update external database table field either with a NULL value or non-zero numeric value. iam thinking of using either EXEC SQL statement or a SAP view to that table (using databaselink). The field is a numeric field in that table.
I tried to update that table intwo ways using ABAP program. If i use CHAR field type it's passing 'space ' which is not a valid value.If i use numeric field it's defalting to zero value,again,which is not a valid value.
How can i update that external table field with NULL value.Can anybody advice ?
Is any bettwer idea available other than using PL/SQL objects at databaselevl !!
Thank you
it WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am a beginner who starts a week ago. i am SO NOOB now hahaha.
feel damn happy when it works! THANKS ALOT!!!!!!!!! btw are u still doing abap??
You can use next sentence
WHERE filed IS NULL.

The EAF is an initiative advised by the EIF which provides equity to Business Angels and other non-institutional investors for the financing of innovative companies in the form of co-investments. The EAF works hand in hand with Business Angels and helps them to increase their investment capacity by co-investing into innovative companies in the seed, early or growth stage. The activity of the EAF is adapted to the Business Angels' investment style by granting the highest degree of freedom in terms of decision making and management of investments.
At year-end 2015, the EAF initiative had a volume of EUR 253m, with approximately EUR 75m already committed to Business Angels which have already built a portfolio of about 100 SMEs.
The EAF is currently operational in Austria, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain and, subject to regulatory approval, about to be set up in Denmark in the course of 2016. In the future, EAF will be extended to other European countries and/or regions. EAF will foster and support cross border collaboration between Business Angels. It will also contribute to the establishment of European Business Angels and Family Offices as an attractive alternative asset class.
Instead of granting co-investments on a deal-by-deal basis, the EAF enters long-term contractual relationships with Business Angels. Co-investment framework agreements (CFAs) are established through which the EAF commits a predefined amount of equity for co-investments upfront to each Business Angel for future investments. For ease and speed, these CFAs are generally standardized while leaving room for adaptation to specific requirements of individual Business Angels. Such elements include for example timeframe, sector focus, and number of investments.
All investment decisions will be taken by the Business Angels and their investments will be matched on a pari passu basis, i.e. by the same amount, by the EAF. The total volumes available under an individual CFA range typically between EUR 250k and EUR 5m. The EAF does not pay a management fee to the Business Angel but shares investment-related costs on a pro-rata basis.
The EAF has a unique set-up which is adapted to the Business Angels' investment style and needs. It provides significant financial support while granting a maximum amount of freedom to each Business Angel. Carry payments from the EAF to the Business Angel increase even further the upsides of the investments for the latter. Through the EAF, Business Angels can draw on the expertise and network of EIF, one of the most experienced Venture Capital investors in Europe.
At the same time, administration processes are designed to be as lean as possible so that Business Angels can fully focus on their investment activity. A standardized reporting tool will allow for simple and efficient reporting.
The EAF wants to support innovative SMEs. Investments are possible in all sectors and throughout the entire range of development phases of a company (seed, early or expansion stage). Co-investments under the EAF are generally focused on new investments of the Business Angels.
You should fulfil, amongst others, the following criteria:
A lean Due Diligence process and the use of CFAs ensure a short reaction time and a minimum of administrative burden for the Business Angels.
If you are eligible according to the criteria listed above, you can apply to EAF by filling out the online form. After submitting your application online, you will receive a confirmation email. Should you have any further questions or comments about EAF or should you wish to modify the information you have submitted online, please contact us by e-mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Baird Suruga Bay Steam Lager
RATINGS: 2 MEAN: 2.85/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 2.8/5 SEASONAL: Autumn EST. CALORIES: 153 ABV: 5.1%
The "Steam" style is an unusual one born on the American west coast (notably California) sometime in the mid 19th century. It is unique in that it is fermented with cool-temperature lager yeast but done so at slightly warmer, ale-type temperatures. The sobriquet "Steam" is thought to have stemmed from the fact that this style was served mainly in pubs from casks in which a secondary fermentation had taken place and when tapped released CO2 in a sound reminiscent of steam escaping a high-pressure pipe. This style remains identified with the city of San Francisco even today thanks to Fritz Maytag and his Anchor Brewery's flagship beer "Anchor Steam." Baird Suruga Bay Steam Lager is our Japan interpretation of this wonderful, historical style. Amber-Red in color, like the early fall foliage, this warm-fermented lager is made soft and round by just a touch of yeast-derived sulphur. The flavor is a fruity one reminiscent of figs, raisins and plums. A slight hint of nuttiness serves to enhance the overall impression of complexity. Relatively little hop aroma and the fruity-sweet initial flavor belie the 35 BUs of bitter hop punch that is delivered at the end.

HARRISBURG - With 5.8 million Pennsylvanians working full-time to support 2.7 million people on public assistance, the state is on a clear "collision course," Gov. Corbett's top welfare official said Tuesday.
"We have to do something," Welfare Secretary Gary Alexander said in defending funding cuts and program rollbacks proposed for his department.
"We are in a very tight fiscal climate, and some of these programs have grown very large over the years," Alexander told members of the Senate Appropriations Committee at a budget hearing. "We are trying to balance them."

Authentic Texas: People of the Big Bendby Bill Wright Daudistel Marcia Hatfield
The Texas of vast open spaces inhabited by independent, self-reliant men and women may be more of a dream than a reality for the state's largely urban population, but it still exists in the Big Bend. One of the most sparsely settled areas of the United States, the Big Bend attracts people who are willing to forego many modern conveniences for a lifestyle that proclaims "don't fence me in." Marcia Hatfield Daudistel and Bill Wright believe that the character traits exemplified by folks in the Big Bend--including self-sufficiency, friendliness, and neighborliness--go back to the founding of the state. In this book, they introduce us to several dozen Big Bend residents--old and young, long-settled and recently arrived, racially diverse--who show us what it means to be an authentic Texan.
Black Friday: Volume 1by Wright Noah Aj
All it takes is one murder to change a million lives, and that's exactly what happens to Kasheef Williams on a cold, black Friday. After a reunion with an old friend goes wrong in a Long Island night club, Kasheef is forced to protect himself by any means necessary. The only problem is that prying eyes see everything. Those eyes belong to Alija Bell. After walking in on a situation she was never meant to see, she runs; but Kasheef sees her face, and he tells her that it's best for her to get temporary amnesia. Afraid for her life and the safety of her daughter, she keeps her mouth shut--but when a tape of the murder surfaces, the only face that's visible is Alija's. Now the police are looking for their eye witness, and Kasheef has to get to Alija before her day comes to testify against him in court. In this dramatic, hood-savvy tale, things aren't always as they seem. Somebody holds the ticket to the jury's verdict. Lies and truth collide. Everyone has a different angle, but the only question is, who has the most influence over Kasheef's fate?
Cosmos, Self, and History in Baniwa Religion: For Those Unbornby Wright Robin M.
In this ethnography of Baniwa religion, Robin M. Wright explores the myths of creation and how they have been embodied in religious movements and social action--particularly in a widespread conversion to evangelical Christianity. He opens with a discussion of cosmogony, cosmology, and shamanism, and then goes on to explain how Baniwa origin myths have played an active role in shaping both personal and community identity and history. He also explores the concepts of death and eschatology and shows how the mythology of destruction and renewal in Baniwa religion has made the Baniwa people receptive to both Catholic and Protestant missionaries.
Demon Undergroundby Wright S. L.
Half-human and half-demon, Allay has finally warmed up to her new life feeding off the customers at her downtown bar whens he finds herself brokering a truce between New York City's most powerful demons. But when she senses assassins around every corner, Allay hides out of sight and underground-until combatants in the growing war tempt her back above the surface. . . .

Slave Mastersby Wright
ABDUCTED BY ALIENS, FORCED INTO BONDAGE... Only a few years earlier, Rose Rico of Earth had no idea that her planet's government was secretly selling human beings to the alien Alphas in exchange for advanced alien technology. Then Rose found herself, along with hundreds of other human captives, bound for the far reaches of space, and compelled to cater to the depraved desires of her new alien masters. Rose broke her chains, freed some of her fellow captives and stole a spaceship of her own. Now they are wanted fugitives, and the galaxy is heating up for Rose and for her renegade band of former pleasure slaves. As her companions flee from the Alphas, Rose plots a one-woman strike against her former masters. Recaptured, tortured, and once again forced to serve as a pleasure slave, Rose escapes to rejoin her crew and battle the Alphas -- to free Earth from their domination!
Slaves Unchainedby Wright
Years ago, Rose Rico learned firsthand that Earth's government was secretly "exporting" hundreds of human beings into bondage, in exchange for advanced alien technology from the Alphas. Forced to wear the collar of a pleasure slave, Rose and her fellow abductees were condemned to a lifetime of satisfying the Alphas' carnal lusts. But not even her sadistic "masters" could extinguish Rose's passion to regain her freedom. Escaping her oppressors and leading a crew of escaped slaves in a hijacked Fleet patrolship, she has returned to Earth, intent on breaking the Alphas' stranglehold on her world. Her only chance for success lies in overthrowing Earth's corrupt leaders and publicly exposing their ongoing clandestine pact with the aliens. But to do so, Rose and her renegade crew must first distinguish friend from foe among those closest to them, all while fending off the advances of a reinforced Alpha Fleet, which will accept nothing less than the return of their nubile "property"...and Earth's total subjugation! SLAVES UNCHAINED IS THE ROUSING CLIMAX TO THE SLAVE TRADE TRILOGY, A SCIENCE-FICTION SAGA OF SLAVERY, SUBMISSIVENESS, AND INSURGENCE!

Michael d'Abo
first rose to prominence in British rock through his assumption of a most unenviable task, succeeding Paul Jones as lead singer in
Manfred Mann
-- the group's own record label, EMI, was so persuaded of the unlikelihood that anyone could replace him, that they dropped the band from the roster. He proved up to the challenge, however, and across the four decades since, has remained a busy and well-known musical figure, in rock and in music in general. Born in 1944 in Betchworth, Surrey,
reached his teens during the early days of England's rock & roll boom, and as a boy, took up the piano as well as singing. While attending the Harrow School, he co-founded
A Band of Angels
with guitarist/singer John Graydon, guitarist John Baker, bassist
Dave Wilkinson
, and drummer James Rugge-Price. The group managed the get noticed and cut a quartet of singles (the last, "Invitation", written by
) for Pye Records' Piccadilly subsidiary and for United Artists Records. It was a televised performance of "Invitation" in early 1966, on a show called A Whole Scene Going, that brought
to the attention of the members of
Manfred Mann
-- organist
Manfred Mann
and drummer
Mike Hugg
initially saw him on the broadcast, and soon
and bassist/guitarist
Tom McGuinness
were checking out his work at a club date, and this led to an offer to join the group.
Partly thanks to the extended departure schedule of Paul Jones, and EMI's decision to plunder the vaults for commercially viable sides left behind by the group, there was some overlap between
s recordings with
Manfred Mann
-- done for the Fontana label under a new contract -- and those featuring Jones on EMI. Eventually, however, the new edition of the band featuring
caught the ear of the public, enjoying a string of British hits starting with "Just Like a Woman" in the summer of 1966 and extending through "Semi-Detached Suburban Mr. James" and "Ha Ha Said the Clown," all culminating with "The Mighty Quinn" in early 1968, which topped the British charts and restored the group to the American hit parade for the first time in two years with a Top Ten placement. By the time organist
Manfred Mann
pulled the plug on the group in 1969,
was one of the more prominent rock vocalists in England, though the group's decision to turn down an offer of a U.S. tour in the wake of "The Mighty Quinn" cost the band an opportunity for renewed stardom in America.
also established his credibility as a songwriter during this period with his compositions "Handbags and Gladrags" and "Build Me Up Buttercup," both huge hits and the latter written in collaboration with composer/producer Tony Macauley, who placed it with
the Foundations
, whose version sold over a million copies.
s tenure with
Manfred Mann
lasted until the spring of 1969 -- by that time, they'd had five major hits in their new incarnation and their leader, organist
Manfred Mann
, had been hinting strongly that it was nearing time to disband the group. All of the members were increasingly eager to explore other sounds and musical avenues, and they'd run out their string most profitably and honorably, even recording a serious psychedelic classic album,
The Mighty Garvey!,
on which
played an essential role, portraying the non-existent singer "Eddie Garvey" (a sort of forerunner to
David Johansen
's Buster Poindexter). And almost as important, they'd lasted at the top for three years longer than their former label, EMI, had believed possible for them to do without Paul Jones fronting them. Even before the band broke up officially in the summer of 1969,
had taken the step of recording a single, "(See the Little People) Gulliver's Travels," for
Andrew Oldham
's Immediate Records, which had to be recalled when Fontana Records asserted its exclusive rights to
's voice, although an accompanying album -- evidently among the rarest long-players of its period -- did follow suit on the Immediate subsidiary Instant Records.
His contractual problems were solved by the time
embarked on his next project, as one of the singers on the original studio production of
Jesus Christ Superstar
(1970), which became a mega-hit in the United States. A solo album entitled
, recorded for MCA and featuring
Albert Lee
on guitar, was released in 1970 to little notice. In 1972, he followed this up on A&M with
Down at Rachel's Place
, and two years later -- with
Graham Nash
Mike Bloomfield
, and the
, among others, participating -- he released
Broken Rainbows
, which was greeted as a pop masterpiece by some critics, but failed to chart and, also closed out his A&M contract. In 1976,
formed a composing and recording partnership with
Mike Smith
, formerly the vocalist and keyboard player with the
Dave Clark Five
, which resulted in the release of
Smith & d'Abo
on British CBS. His subsequent releases, Indestructible (1987) and Tomorrow's Troubadour (1988), saw little popular interest.
was not without success musically, however -- during the '70s and '80s, he turned to writing songs for commercials and found special success with a jingle for Cadbury's chocolate on British television. He also played with a band called Beat Goes On (who cut a live album at Ronnie Scott's) and a top dance band called
Mike d'Abo & His Mighty Quintet
, in addition to serving as a deejay and host on a couple of long-running top-rated radio programs. During the '90s,
and Jones both rejoined their former bandmates -- apart from
Manfred Mann
himself, who had other musical pursuits in mind -- in the
, a reunited version of their '60s band.

HP Autowerks || PSi 'Raceline'(Ohlins Dampers) BMW E82 1M suspension system (2-way)
Performance Shock's new Raceline suspension system for BMW E82 1M or E9X M3! Features 36mm 'inverted' front struts and TTX36 rear dampers. This configuration is 2-way adjustable; 1-way compression and 1-way rebound (low speed for both). The inverted strut design, with large working cylinder diameter provides excellent lateral support while reducing friction. The rear utilizes the TTX36 inline (Non-C/O) or piggy (Race C/O). C/O rear kits are only recommended for cars with re-enforced shock towers, preferrably a caged vehicle. A major advantage with the TTX36 inline damper is the integral reservoir that makes it very compact and easy to package. No longer is the balancing of reservoir damping ("can stack") to main piston damping required to avoid cavitation. With no reservoir valve, the internal pressure of the damper unit will be kept to a minimum. The low amount of hysteresis results in excellent short stroke/high force performance. The Ohlins TTX range of shocks require very low gas pressure which considerably improves grip without any loss of damping performance. This is one of the best suspension package that you can install on your 1M or M3, period!
Key Kit Features:
* Extremely broad external adjustment range Front (20 clicks bump, 40 clicks rebound); Rear (22 clicks bump/rebound)
* Low internal friction
* Direct damping response / low N2 pressure
* Inverted 36mm front strut
* TTX36/ILX36 'piggyback reservoir' or 'inline' rear damper
* Easy to access external adjustments
* PSi EDC emulators available separately
* Adjustment tools included
* Includes Eibach ERS springs
* Ground Control Front Camber/Caster plates
***Note: this kit is intended for track use only***
Please contact HP Autowerks for more details on this kit.
