Rays Losing Streak Reaches 9, Fall To Marlins 5-4
Marlins Hand Rays Ninth Straight Loss
The Tampa Bay Rays (23-37) dropped their ninth straight contest falling to the Miami Marlins by a final score of 5-4. ?The current nine game losing streak is the longest since an 11-game slide from September 3rd through 13th, 2009. ?It is the second longest in the majors this season (Seattle Mariners April 15th through 22nd & Miami Marlins April 6th through 14th) behind the Boston Red Sox 10 game losing streak (May 15th through 25th).
The game was an ordinary baseball game for the first few innings but midway through the game the Rays announced that Don Zimmer had peacefully passed away at age 83.
David Price (4-5, 4.08 ERA) took the loss for the Rays giving up five runs (one earned) on nine?hits striking out 11 and walking none over 7.1?innings. Brad Boxberger came in to finish the eighth inning and Juan Carlos Oviedo worked a scoreless ninth.
Tom Koehler (5-5, 3.33 ERA) picked up the win for the Marlins giving up three runs (all earned) on six hits striking out four and walking four in five innings of work. He was followed to the mound by Bryan Morris who held the Rays off the board in the sixth?and seventh innings. Mike Dunn worked a scoreless eighth and Steve Cishek?came in and made it interesting but picked up his 13th save.
Rays & Marlins Action:
After David Price retired the first two Marlins hitters to begin the game Giancarlo Stanton doubled off the wall and came home on a single by Casey McGehee to take a 1-0 lead.
The Rays battled right back in their half of the first as David DeJesus singled and came in on a 2-run homer by Ben Zobrist which put the Rays ahead 2-1 and Evan Longoria followed with a solo blast to push the lead to 3-1.
With David Price on the mound and the offense showing signs of life it appeared the Rays were on their way to ending their eight game losing streak but like so many times this season the opposition battled back and did so quickly.
The key blow came in the top of the third inning ?immediately after a play that should have been made wasn't. With runners at second and third and two out ?Jeff Baker sent a high chopper to Evan Longoria who leaped to make the?grab and reached down to tag Marcell Ozuna heading into third but dropped the ball allowing Giancarlo Stanton scored to cut the Rays lead to 5-2.
Donovan Solano followed Longoria's error with a three run homer to give the Marlins the 5-3 lead.
The Rays had a golden opportunity to tie or win the game in the bottom of the ninth loading the bases with nobody out. David DeJesus grounded out to bring home a run and move the runners up to second and third. Ben Zobrist sent a high chopper to first that should have tied the game but Kevin Kiermaier hesitated and elected to stay at third base.
The Marlins elected to walk Evan Longoria to bring James Loney to the plate who popped out to second to end the game.

Crafting with Martha and Amy – Glittered Skeleton Partscraftyamy
I'm pleased to be returning for a second installment of Crafting with Martha and Amy – the series in which I craft along with Martha Stewart's Handmade Holiday Crafts for an entire year. It's one project a week, and I'm still in Halloween mode so I chose glittered skeleton parts. This project was definitely a learning experience for me; for someone who isn't "good" with glitter. You see, when I craft, I'm messy. I also changed the project around a bit from when I started. I do think that the end result turned out great, and I think Martha would be proud. To see the original inspiration and learn more about my process, continue through the jump!
This is what I saw in the book that intrigued me. I really loved the specimen jar, the various colors of glitter and the skellie parts. My idea was to recreate it, but I didn't have the green glitter or the skeleton parts. After a trip to Michaels, I was able to procure some smaller skeleton parts (heads and hands) in addition to a cool candle holder. It wasn't a specimen jar, but I thought it might make a cool display.
The glittering was messy, but that's more my problem than anything – as I said, I'm a messy crafter! The only thing I wasn't happy with was my choice of lavender and dark purple glitter. Um, not a good color combination. I was trying to imitate Martha's shades of green, so thinking back, I should have gone with either the green or even blue (that would have been interesting!). All in all, I'm happy with my project, and I like the mini bones. Take a peek at the slide show below for my complete tutorial and a detail shot of my finished glittered skeleton parts.
Gather the Skellie Supplies 1 of 13I used supplies (including bags of skeleton parts) purchased from Michaels. I also used Mod Podge, not shown.
Sizing Up the Stand 2 of 13I always like to figure out my project beforehand. Okay, not always. But in this case I "practiced" first to see what my final might look like.
Mod Podge the Parts 3 of 13Mod Podge adheres glitter very nicely to items. Knowing this, I coated my skellie parts with Mod Podge.
Sprinkle the Glitter 4 of 13If Martha uses a spoon to spread glitter than so do I. I spread the lavender glitter first.
Lavender Hands 5 of 13After sprinkling the lavender glitter on, I realized it wasn't going to work. I decided to go back to the regular purple glitter for both the heads and hands.
Mod Podge the Skull Heads 6 of 13While the hands are drying, repeat the Mod Podging process with the heads.
Glitter Toupees 7 of 13Sprinkle glitter on the skeletons. Just to mentally prepare you, you are going to have to do this several times.
Continue to Mod Podge and Glitter 8 of 13Keep turning the skeletons, painting, Mod Podge, glittering and letting dry. You want to make sure to cover every surface.
Back to the Hands 9 of 13You can't tell, but I'm making a huge glitter mess in my apartment. The spoon is actually a great idea though, and less messy. I finished glittering the hands.
Glittered Parts 10 of 13Here they all are, laid out to dry. Make sure you give them several hours before assembling.
Begin Assembly 11 of 13I laid a few pieces out onto the candleholder. I did not glue to the base because I might want to reuse it.
Hot Glue Like Crazy 12 of 13Assemble your sculpture by hot gluing and adding skulls. Hold in place for a few seconds until set and then continue.
Assembled Tower 13 of 13Cool, huh? After several minutes of layering and hot gluing, this was the result. I like it!

Wake up in the unique surroundings of Leighton Moss!
Image: Frank and Helena/Imagesource
As part of the RSPB's brand new Big Wild Sleepout, which aims to encourage people to spend a night in nature's home, the Silverdale reserve is holding a draw for people to win a place on the ultimate summer sleepout.
For one night only, the lucky winners will not only spend the night under the stars in Leighton's new sensory garden, but access parts of the reserve not normally open to the public, in a search for majestic red deer, agile bats and magnificent moths.
Jacqui Fereday, Visitor Services Manager at RSPB Leighton Moss, said: "This is the perfect opportunity to explore the secret world of Leighton Moss out of hours and discover what really goes bump in the night.
"It's an exclusive opportunity to go off the beaten track at the reserve and search for a variety of stunning summer wildlife, before returning to the Hideout to enjoy a scrumptious supper and a good night's sleep outdoors, followed by a full English breakfast.
"This is a rare chance to visit the reserve at night and with only eight places available, we encourage people to enter the draw – as you never know, you could be one of the lucky eight waking up in the unique surroundings of Leighton Moss."
The event, which will be held on Saturday 10 August, is one of a number of Big Wild Sleepouts taking place across the UK from 9-11 August. Around the country, people will not only be sleeping under the stars, but in dens made from fallen branches, ropes and sheets, while 'Glampers' will be halfway between camping and comfort as they bring their mattresses outside.
Richard Bashford, the RSPB's Big Wild Sleepout organiser, said: "If you can't join one of the RSPB's organised events, then you can take part by sleeping out in your garden. Imagine if you settled down and heard an owl calling, a fox barking or peeked out of your tent and saw a bat feeding overhead. Or even, finally saw that elusive hedgehog that you've long suspected calls your garden home."
To make the most of a garden sleepout, there are plenty of fun activity ideas on the RSPB website, from building dens to torch light safaris. People can also ask their friends and family to sponsor a sleepout to help the RSPB to give nature a home.
In a bid to encourage even more people to sleep out, the RSPB has joined forces with Blacks, the outdoor retailer.
Ken Reeve, CEO of Blacks, says: "Blacks is extremely proud to be part of this tremendous initiative. We are wholly supportive of any campaign that encourages more people to engage with nature and we see the Big Wild Sleepout as an ideal platform to encourage families to experience the outdoors together."
The Big Wild Sleepout is part of the RSPB's new Giving Nature a Home campaign which is aimed at inspiring everyone to provide a place for wildlife wherever they live and however big their outside space is.
The event at Leighton Moss will run from 6.30pm on Saturday 10 August until 9am on Sunday 11 August. The cost is £50 for RSPB members and £70 for non-RSPB members. Participants are asked to bring their own sleeping bag and roll mat. Food will be provided on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Facilities will be available on site, including toilets and a shower.
To enter the draw, email your name(s) and a contact email and phone number to firstname.lastname@example.com. Closing date for entries is 31 July.
For more information and ideas on how to make the most of your Big Wild Sleepout, and for details of events near you, visit: www.rspb.org.uk/sleepout
Nature in the UK is in trouble and some of our more familiar garden species are amongst those suffering serious declines. We can all help by giving nature a home where we live.

Dalai Lama returns to Madison
Governor Scott Walker says he spent most of the time during his meeting with the Dalai Lama listening.
Walker met with the Dalai Lama on Tuesday morning, before the Tibetan spiritual leader was scheduled to give a speech before the Wisconsin Legislature.
Walker says "there wasn't a whole lot of dialogue'' during his meeting at the Alliant Center in Madison, a couple miles away from the Capitol. Walker says of his meeting, "It was more or less a greeting. I spent most of the time listening.''
Walker says the Dalai Lama gave him a couple of his books and talked about his travels and how happy he was to be back in Wisconsin. His visit this week is his ninth to Madison.
The Dalai Lama is scheduled to speak before the Wisconsin state Assembly on May 14.
The Tibetan spiritual leader is in Madison for a series of panel discussions at the University of Wisconsin the following day as part of the ``Change Your Mind Change the World'' conference. He is also giving a public speech on May 15 at the Overture Center in Madison.
The visit will be the ninth time the Dalai Lama has come to Madison.
He is scheduled to speak to the Assembly for 45 minutes.
The public event the next day is scheduled to focus on how science, economics, environments, emotional intelligence and health care can combine to make the world a healthier, happier place.
The Dalai Lama will visit Madison on May 15, 2013, to lead the "Change your Mind Change the World 2013," a series of panel discussions with thought leaders from a variety of fields, including neuroscience, economics and sustainability, moderated by Arianna Huffington and Daniel Goleman.
The event is co-hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the Waisman Center and the Global Health Institute.

Davidson, founder of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds, one of the organizers of Change your Mind Change the World 2013.
During the panel discussions, the experts will present their best work on global health and sustainable well-being, organizers say. The Dalai Lama will respond to these insights and add his own thoughts and encouragement of how to continue to bring these ideas forward in the world.
"Unsustainable consumption of natural resources now threatens the health of our planet and, subsequently, our human species," says Jonathan Patz, director of the Global Health Institute, another of the organizers of Change your Mind Change the World 2013. "Attendees will be challenged to explore new and interconnected solutions to global health problems. The complexity of these issues requires it."
Panel discussions will take place at the Overture Center for the Arts in Madison and will feature:
- His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, leader of Tibetan Buddhism, internationally revered spiritual leader, Nobel Peace Prize winner, lifelong science aficionado;
- Don Berwick, national leader on health care quality, former CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, recent administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services;
- Richard J. Davidson, founder of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds, named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine, author of The New York Times bestseller "The Emotional Life of Your Brain";

AS A YOUNG CHILD, AT AN AGE when other preschoolers were investigating the world and happily trading germs in the sandbox, Franco Ripple sat alone in his parents' Fort Lauderdale home, drawing Heinz ketchup bottles at the kitchen table. Sentenced to life indoors, a prisoner of severe asthma and allergies, he ventured outside only on doctor visits or when asthma attacks sent him gasping to the emergency room. Diagnosed as allergic to most foods, Franco was limited to a diet of ground beef, lettuce, peas, rice and soy milk. At 4, he weighed just 29 lbs. "It was," he recalls, "like living in a gigantic bubble."
Today, Franco Ripple comes, goes and eats more or less as he pleases, and it is impossible to imagine him as a sickly little boy. Now 15, he packs a sturdy 173 lbs. on his 5'10" frame. He plays tennis, lifts weights and plans to try out for the varsity football team at Pine Crest School, where he is a ninth-grader. "Gradually," says Dr. Jaime Alvarez, his longtime allergist, "he has turned around completely."
Franco has also turned his intellectual powers against his worst tormentor: the dust mite, a microscopic arachnid, often found in carpeting, that can trigger devastating allergy and asthma attacks. A precocious science student, so advanced he is allowed to use the University of Miami's electron microscope, Franco has devoted four years to the bug. He has researched how it is affected by humidity and proved that one mite, Blomia tropicalis, thrives in Florida, where it wasn't even thought to exist. "The first thing they tell kids doing a science project is, 'Pick something you like,' " he says. "I don't like suffering with allergies, but it was the thing closest to home."
For that study, Franco earned a first place in February at the Broward County Science and Engineering Fair. He has also won awards from Hitachi America Ltd. for his use of electron microscopy and from Kodak for his use of photography. One of his science teachers, Marcia Moore, credits Franco's advice with ending years of discomfort from sinusitis. "He had a great impact on my life," she says. "I had all the carpets removed from my apartment."
When Franco was small, his parents, Will and Dee Ripple, knew nothing of the enemy in their carpet, drapes and houseplants. "He started getting sick when he was 1," says Dee, 44, a homemaker. "It was infection after infection. The nightmare of my life was that he'd get near someone—God forbid somebody sneezed on him." Doctors ordered the Ripples to keep him in a sanitized environment: visitors had to be free of perfume, hairspray and pet hair. But nothing helped. "He was never really well," says Will, 57, a retired airline supervisor. "We couldn't get answers."
Dee finally found one in an unlikely place: a milk carton, where a notice for the National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver urged asthma sufferers to call for help. The Ripples flew Franco there, and from 1987 to 1994 he had four sinus surgeries. Doctors discovered that his food allergies had been misdiagnosed and, with the exception of peanuts and shellfish, he began to eat a full diet and flourish. Eventually they diagnosed Franco with asthma and prescribed steroids.
But there were setbacks. At 4, Franco was diagnosed with Legg-Perthes disease, possibly brought on by the steroids, which so weakened his right hip that he couldn't walk. Physical therapy eased the problem, but he also developed rheumatoid arthritis, which called for more drugs. An asthma attack required Franco, then 6, to be revived by an EMS team—"he turned to me," Dee recalls, "and said, 'I'll never let that happen to me again, and I'll never let it happen to anyone else.' "
Franco's determination—plus medication, nutrition and the passage of time—helped him keep that promise. Anti-inflammatory drugs eventually eased his asthma, and today the condition is so well-controlled that he has stopped taking them regularly. His allergies persist, though, so he tries to avoid dust and pollen. "I'm susceptible to catching colds easily," Franco says. Yet he savors life in the wider world. He dates, acts in local community theater—and still likes to draw. Only now, instead of doing it home alone, Franco teaches other kids each Saturday when he volunteers at the local Boys & Girls Club. "I'm happy," he says. "I didn't know what I was missing."

Louisville (28-8) vs. California (32-3) | Time, TV: 6:30 p.m. ET Sunday, ESPN.
Why Louisville will win: The three-pointers keep falling. Against Baylor, Louisville sank 16 of 25 three-pointers and eight of 23 against Tennessee. Even though the Cardinals have already knocked off two heavy hitters, they've embraced the underdog role. "We're the party crashers," coach Jeff Walz said. "We're going to run with it and see where it can take us."
Why Cal will win: Layshia Clarendon will lead the way, just as she did in the overtime victory vs. Georgia in the regional final, with 25 points, her 11th game this season with more than 20. Led by 35-year-old coach Lindsay Gottlieb, the Golden Bears are especially close-knit, a factor that helped them get to their first Final Four.
Follow this player on Twitter: @monique_reid. The Louisville senior, the lone player left from the Cardinals' last trip to the Final Four in 2009, hit the clinching free throws against Baylor.
Did you know? Louisville is only the second No. 5 seed to reach the Final Four. Missouri State's 2001 team that featured guard Jackie Stiles, the leading scorer in NCAA Division I women's history, is the other.
Connecticut (33-4) vs. Notre Dame (35-1) | Time, TV: 9 p.m. ET Sunday, ESPN.
Why Connecticut will win: Breanna Stewart, USA TODAY Sports' high school girls player of the year last year, has been on fire. In six postseason games, she has averaged more than 17 points while blocking 14 shots.
Why Notre Dame will win: The Irish are due a little luck after losing in the title game the last two seasons. Plus, the team is determined to win a championship for senior Skylar Diggins. And they have UConn's number, beating the Huskies three times this season by an average of four points. The Irish have won seven of the past eight meetings, including two national semifinals.
Follow this player on Twitter: @SkyDigg4. Skylar Diggins has more than 330,000 followers. One of her tweets Thursday: The crawfish and jambalaya is delicious!
Did you know? UConn is making its record sixth consecutive Final Four appearance. If the Huskies win it all, an eighth national title would tie Tennessee's record.

Reporting on this disaster
Last week, not an hour after the May 13 Tunica Times went to press, President Obama signed a disaster declaration that includes Tunica County. The release of the information literally came minutes too late to make the paper.
That's the way it happens sometimes with a weekly newspaper. We wait and wait to get information, holding off until the last possible moment. Then when we give up and send the paper to The Panolian in Batesville to be printed, the news we were waiting for comes in.
That's why we're posting frequent updates to our web site, www.tunicatimes.com, and our Facebook page. Of course, there are limitations there, too. Every reader will not have computer access.
You would think technology has made communications easier, but that's not really the case. It seems to us that technology has further isolated us into our own little worlds.
The Tunica Times is committed to getting you, our readers, the best information available to us, as quickly as possible. We hope you will call with your questions and concerns, and we will try our best to get factual answers.
And if we've helped even one person throughout this disaster, that makes it all worthwhile for us.

If not for the heat of a summer day, one of the major biological finds in the Delaware River in recent years might not have occurred.
It was June, and researchers were scouring the banks and shallows of the river between Trenton and Philadelphia for evidence of freshwater mussels, important water-filtering organisms that are becoming increasingly hard to find in the region's streams.
Danielle Kreeger, science director of the nonprofit Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, had spotted shells along the banks during a wetlands project, and she wanted to see if live mussels were in the river nearby.
So far, no luck.

DETROIT -- Here are three stars for the Detroit Tigers from their 7-5 victory Friday night against the Cleveland Indians:
The Tigers have been waiting for Victor Martinez to turn a corner. It appears he finally has. Martinez opened the scoring in the second with a solo homer to right field -- his fifth this season. More importantly, it was his second in as many games and his third in the past six. A career .300 hitter, Martinez entered Friday with a dismal .231 batting average. He finished 3-for-4 and is batting .375 (6-for-16) during this homestand, which has raised his average to .241. He scored three key runs Friday and ripped a double down the line in the seventh.
Can we officially put the "struggling" rumors to bed? For the third straight start, Justin Verlander pitched seven innings of three-run ball to pick up his fourth straight win. He improved to 8-4, tying Max Scherzer for the most team wins and continued to build his case for an All-Star invitation. Verlander hasn't allowed fewer than three runs in any of his last six starts, but he appears to have finally solved the fastball command issues that plagued him for much of May.
For the first time this season, Torii Hunter started a game with a batting average below .300. It didn't take him long to move back into familiar territory. Hunter doubled in his first at-bat to snap an 0-for-14 skid and hit an RBI single in his second at-bat to score Brayan Pena as part of a three-run second inning. He added a single in the fourth to finish 3-for-5 to pick up his fifth three-hit game this season and finished with a .305 batting average. He continues to make his case for a starting spot in this year's Midsummer Classic.
What do you think? Are these the right three guys? Andy Dirks went 2-for-5 -- his 13th multi-hit game -- and added an RBI. Does he deserve a star? Post your thoughts in the comments section below this story.

International manufacturing productivity, 2010
October 19, 2011
In 2010, productivity growth in manufacturing increased in all countries covered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The productivity increases were driven by large gains in output coupled with modest changes in hours. Output, after having fallen in all countries in 2009, rose in all countries in 2010.
Over the 2009-2010 period, for the majority of countries covered, labor productivity (output per hour) rose by more than 5 percent. Six countries (Singapore, Finland, Taiwan, Japan, Sweden, and the Czech Republic) experienced productivity growth of over 10 percent.
These data are from the International Labor Comparisons program. Refer to Country at a Glance tables for additional data on international labor comparisons. To learn more, see "International Comparisons of Manufacturing Productivity and Unit Labor Cost Trends, 2010" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-11-1469.

Copy after Andrea Mantegna (about 1431-1506)
'The Battle of the Sea Gods'
About 1470-80
Pen and ink
Museum no. CAI 406
Bequeathed by Constantine Alexander Ionides
This drawing is a skilful and meticulous copy of the left-hand section of an original double-sheet engraving which Mantegna made as a riposte to Pollaiuolo's frieze-like Battle of Nude Men. Close in spirit and technique to Mantegna's original, it is probably by an artist from his inner circle, perhaps a workshop assistant.

WASHINGTON -- The United States has a very rich and substantial Judeo-Christian heritage. The nation's Founding Fathers believed the Bible to be the Word of God, and it shows.
So, CBN News set out to see just how much our Christian heritage is on display in the nation's capitol.
Washington D.C. is a city of power and influence, but it is also a city sparkling with the Christian heritage of this nation.
Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union want the name of God and government to be separate, but that will be difficult in our nation's capitol.
As a matter of fact, 17th and Constitution Ave. is a good place to start. Literally, within a few minutes walk, so many references to God appear that the ACLU very well might have a fit.
Carrie Devorah is an investigative photo journalist behind the project "God in the Temples of Government." She searched and found signs of a godly heritage in Washington, D.C.
"Here at 17th and Constitution, I found God," Devorah said.
The Bible prophet Daniel is tucked behind bushes on the property of the Organization of American States building, which is partly funded by Congress. Many employees there did not know about the statue.
"None of them had a clue where he was," she said. "I don't think anybody knows the condition he's in. He's made from concrete, and as you can see he's falling apart from weathering.
"But I have faith in Daniel," she added fondly patting the statue near the inscribed word "liberty."
Her tour progressed just down the block to an inscription at the Daughters of the American Revolution building. It features the following quote from President George Washington at the Constitutional Convention in 1787:
"Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair. The event is in the hands of God."
There is also an inscription from Proverbs 22:28.
"Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have set."
The Department of the Interior looked like a run-of-the-mill government building, but Devorah revealed that behind one of the corner walls was a time capsule. Archaeologists placed a Bible in the capsule years ago.
The statue of General Jose Artigas sits in the middle of the busy intersection on Constitution Ave., right on federal government property. The statue was adorned with cross-loops of gold braid décor-on Artigas' boot.
"All it takes is one person to walk by and say I don't believe in God, I don't believe in religion," Devorah said. "And every time I look at that, it may be just be a decoration on a boot. But I see it as being a "cross" and I want it taken off," she said, making reference to those who are offended by Christian emblems.
At the Korean Veterans' Memorial, the cross and the star of David were displayed right on the Korean wall.
"It's almost like being a kid in a candy shop because there's so much to find," Devorah said.
David Burton, president of The Christian Heritage Group, Wallbuilders agreed.
"Just walk into the Rotunda (of the U.S. Capitol)," he said. "In the Rotunda, there are four paintings hanging on the wall. In those four paintings, you have two prayer meetings, a Bible study, and a baptism. That's just while walking into the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol!"
Besides reference to God in the Washington Monument, the Capitol, and the Lincoln Memorial, God's name was mentioned at the National Archives, Senate and House Office Buildings, the U.S. Supreme Court, the Jefferson Memorial, and the Library of Congress.
In the main reading room of the Library of Congress, there was a bronze statue of Moses holding The Ten Commandments.
On the ceiling, a painting called "Judea," showed a young Israeli woman raising her hands in prayer to God. There were also Bible quotes on the walls.
"The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork," it reads. And, down the hallway in the main lobby, two Gutenberg Bibles were on display.
In the National Archives, there was a bronze medallion on the floor, and right at the top of it were The Ten Commandments, front and center.
At the Jefferson Memorial, God's name was mentioned numerous times, including the famous Jefferson quote, "God Who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?"
At the Lincoln Memorial, words like "Nation Under God", "Bible" and "Pray" were inscribed everywhere in the building stones.
In the Senate and House Office Buildings there was a plaque that read "In God We Trust."
At the Washington Monument, the CBN News team managed to fit inside the dark stairway.
Almost 200 carved plaques, donated by the states, hung in the stairway. Many of them displayed scripture verses from the Bible and quotes such as, "Search the Scriptures" and "Holiness to the Lord."
On the outside aluminum tip, a Latin phrase was inscribed that read, "Laus Deo," which means "Praise Be To God."
At the U.S. Supreme Court Building, The Ten Commandments were located in several different places including on the carved stone frieze on the front of the building. The statue showed Moses leaning his arm on The Ten Commandments. The commandments are also on the wall above the judge's courtroom bench.
Even with all these references to God in the federal buildings, there are some judges who say God and government do not go together.
"You have judges that say 'We don't believe that,'" Barton said. "And we don't like that 'religion in politics. So we're going to stop this.' And that's what we have today. That's why nearly every decision of the court will break down between whether they believe that the Constitution really means something it says, or whether they rewrite it according to their will."
Scenes like The Ten Commandments monument in Alabama were being rolled away out of sight. But the reality is, God's name is chiseled in stone all around, and that is something that can not be disregarded.
"I think it's being disregarded because it's politically incorrect," Devorah said. "I tease people about the P.C. I have -- the other P.C.: The 'pictorially correct'."
Sometimes, you just can't argue with the evidence.
The ACLU and other groups may try to remove God from the public square, but what they can't remove is the undeniable fact that the U.S. was born on the principles of Almighty God and the pictures are there to prove it.

Buies Creek -- President Jerry M. Wallace has announced the appointment of Dr. Andrew Wakefield as the next Dean of the Campbell University Divinity School. Commenting on the appointment, President Wallace said, "We are extremely pleased that Dr. Wakefield will be positioned as the school's second Dean. In assuming the role, he brings a sterling academic record, a deep commitment to ministry, and years of demonstrated excellence within the school itself. Andy is an extraordinarily talented individual whose range of skills will, no doubt, propel the school upward from the significant achievements of its first fourteen years." With the appointment effective on July 1, 2010, Dr. Wakefield will succeed founding dean Dr. Michael Cogdill.
Dr. Wakefield is a 1983 summa cum laude graduate of Wake Forest University. He went on to earn the Master of Divinity degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, then earned his Ph.D. in New Testament from Duke University in 2000. His dissertation, "Where to Live: The Hermeneutical Significance of Paul's Citations of Scripture in Galatians 3:10-14," was published by Brill Academic Publishers and the Society of Biblical Literature. More recently, in addition to numerous scholarly articles, he has produced a finished manuscript for the teaching of New Testament Greek, and is well along the way on a commentary on Galatians. Dr. Wakefield has served on the faculty of the Divinity School since 1997, and currently holds the Lewis Edward and Martha Barnes Tyner Chair of Bible.
In commenting on the position, Dr. Wakefield acknowledged the tremendous opportunity before him in leading the Divinity School. He stated, "I am deeply humbled to have been selected as dean. Under Dr. Cogdill's leadership, this school has achieved the highest levels of excellence; I look forward to maintaining the proven values that have led to its success. At the same time, I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead as we respond to the rapidly changing landscape of the church and of theological education. My desire is that we will always continue growing and stretching, so that Campbell University Divinity School students will always be at the forefront of leading the church to meet the challenges of a post-modern world."
Dr. Wakefield was born in Chattanooga, Tenn., but spent his childhood in Southeast Asia as the son of missionary parents. Those early years indelibly imprinted on him a commitment to church, missions and ministry. Most recently he has been serving as coordinator for Baptist Fellowship of Angier, a mission church focused on ministry with children and families from economically depressed areas.
Voicing praise for Dr. Wakefield was Campbell University provost Dr. Dwaine Greene, who chaired the dean search committee. He stated, "Andy possesses a wonderful combination of intellectual breadth, skill in teaching, and love of ministry, all wrapped in the package of a Christian man with experience and creativity. Under his leadership, the coming years in the Divinity School hold the promise of great excitement and success."
Dr. Wakefield and his wife, Olivia, reside in Lillington with their two daughters, Natalie and Allison. They are members of the Memorial Baptist Church in Buies Creek.

Olive oil on popcorn, anyone?
Palestine's olive trees may seem a long way from the cornfields surrounding Ankeny, Iowa. But on a recent crisp fall weekend, a major conference organized by AFSC's Iowa staff and focusing on US policy in the Middle East brought the two lands closer together in spirit.
During a recent trip to Gaza, AFSC's partners repeatedly asked Michael Merryman-Lotze, AFSC Program Director for Palestine-Israel, to "not present Gazans only as victims, but rather to make clear that they are average people with normal hopes, dreams, and fears," he said. The partners emphasized that the crisis in Gaza is not a humanitarian crisis, but rather a political crisis resulting from Israel's continued occupation.
Gazans told him, "Don't give us more humanitarian aid. We don't need food. We need political action that will help us build our country and achieve our rights." Gazan journalist and author Laila El-Haddad repeated these sentiments nearly word for word during her keynote address at the Iowa conference.
Michael who also attended the conference, said, "This is an excellent example of how the conference provided participants with both messaging shaped by AFSC's on-the-ground experience and the information and skills they need to help move forward US-based education and policy change efforts."
With offices in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, AFSC works to uphold human rights and humanitarian law, build equality between Palestinians and Israelis, counter militarism, and end Israel's occupation of the Palestine territories. AFSC's position on the conflict and how to achieve a just peace is shaped by its belief in an ethic of reciprocity: what holds true for one side in the conflict should hold true for the other side. This means that AFSC has consistently supported the right of both Israelis and Palestinians to self determination.
In her earlier keynote address, Phyllis Bennis of the Institute for Policy Studies shared her optimism about improved prospects for redirecting US policy toward a greater emphasis on human rights and international law in Palestine-Israel. Now is an excellent time to push policymakers toward ending the $30 billion in military aid which the US intends for Israel over the next ten years, she emphasized A number of other experts led participants in a series of workshops, including one on Grassroots Organizing by Jennifer Bing of AFSC 'sChicago office. Bing described a successful "Mock Congressional Hearing" and a bus ad campaign, both of which invited the public to be on the side of peace and justice in the Middle East.
Poet, writer and activist Remi Kanazi from New York shared several powerful dramatic readings over a lunch hour. Remi is editor of Poets for Palestine and the author of Poetic Justice: Writings on Resistance and Palestine.
According to Kathleen McQuillen, AFSC's lead conference organizer, participants are developing a statewide network in Iowa to consider next steps, such as connecting the issue of US S military aid to Israel with the "Occupy" movement sweeping the nation. Other ideas include offering a student-organizing tour and supporting churches as they consider divestment strategies targeting Israel's illegal occupation.
Meanwhile, pass that tasty popcorn!

AMD, Intel settle antitrust, IP disputes
Intel and Advanced Micro Devices Thursday announced that they have settled all antitrust litigation and patent cross-license disputes between the companies.

Intel and Advanced Micro Devices Thursday announced that they have settled all antitrust litigation and patent cross-license disputes between the companies.
Executives at Advanced Micro Devices this week said they are hoping that the company's new 40-nanometer graphics processing units will be in full by the end of the month.
In good news for the semiconductor industry, IDC today reported that worldwide computer chip shipments skyrocketed in the third quarter.
Intel's Atom processor, which is used in netbooks, helped PC microprocessor makers sell record numbers of chips during the third quarter, although the overall value of the market fell, according to market researcher IDC.
After keeping operators and users alike waiting for nearly a year, Intel has begun production of a wireless chipset, called Kilmer Peak, that will support three versions of WiMax, 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo filed federal antitrust charges against Intel this week, with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission expected to follow suit. Security problems yet again snagged a lot of IT headline attention, including news about y...
An offshore Advanced Micro Devices Inc. foundry is having trouble ramping up on production of a new 40-nanometer graphics processing unit, forcing PC makers to delay shipments of desktop and laptop computers, AMD confirmed today.
China plans to hold a robot Olympics next June with events including combat, dancing and track and field, state-run media said late Wednesday.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) has won a major victory over China's biggest chip maker in a court case that could have wide ranging implications for the loser.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's decision to file an antitrust lawsuit against Intel doesn't make sense, with prices for microprocessors falling sharply in recent years, said some critics.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against microprocessor maker Intel, alleging that the company engaged in a "systematic campaign" of illegal conduct to protect a monopoly.
New York's antitrust suit filed against Intel Corp. today, coupled with previous antitrust actions and lawsuits, could give rivals like Advanced Micro Devices Inc. room to pick up some steam in the processor business. New York Attorney General Andrew...
Intel expanded its chip shipment lead over Advanced Micro Devices during the third quarter as the rivals battle for larger market share, according to a survey released by Mercury Research on Tuesday.
Via launched its fastest netbook processors to date as part of a new lineup of chips that also draw less power, the company said on Tuesday.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Fairfield Democrat is retiring from the board after 24 years, including 10 as vice president, and has written about her life and work as an educator.
Former students filed into the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute on Thursday night as Hall signed copies of "My Journey: A Memoir of the First African American to Preside Over the Alabama Board of Education," which she co-wrote with Carmelita Bivens.
"You wanted to be like her. She was knowledgeable, smart, pretty and well-dressed," recalled Sammie T. Stevenson, a former student of Hall's who graduated from Westfield High School in 1963.
Classrooms were different in those days, Hall said. "There was no special education. Everyone took the same classes and everyone did it. We made our own gifted classes; all our students were gifted," she said.
Hall spent 12 years at Westfield, which served studentsfrom across west Jefferson County, before taking a job working with dropouts as part of a U.S. Department of Labor program.
Hall was soon back in the classroom, this time at the University of Montevallo, where for a time she was the school's only black instructor. The University of Alabama recruited her and she retired from there in 1999.
To get her education, Hall at age 7 had to move to Birmingham from Madison County to live with her grandparents. "My parents didn't live near a school. I had no way to get there," Hall said.
Hall said much of the book recounts her work on the school board.
She thought of sitting out the 2006 race when her husband of 55 years, Alfred Hall, became ill. He died that same year.
Hall said friends and constituents urged her to seek one last term. At times, Hall said supporters urged her to run for other offices, such as the state legislature.
"I never wanted to do that. I've just been interestedin education," Hall said.

The Supreme Court yesterday gave the nation's legally married gay couples equal federal footing with all other married Americans and also cleared the way for same-sex marriages to resume in California.
In deciding its first cases on the issue, the high court did not issue the sweeping declaration sought by gay rights advocates that would have allowed same-sex couples to marry anywhere in the country. But in two rulings, both by bare 5-4 majorities, the justices gave gay marriage supporters encouragement in confronting the nationwide patchwork of laws that outlaw such unions in roughly three dozen states, The Associated Press reported.
The court yesterday wiped away part of a federal anti-gay marriage law, the Defense of Marriage Act, that has kept legally married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits that are otherwise available to married couples.
In the other case dealing with California's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, the court decided on technical legal grounds that California's Proposition 8 ban was unconstitutional.
California Gov. Jerry Brown quickly ordered that marriage licenses be issued to gay couples as soon as a federal appeals court lifts its hold on a lower court ruling.

I believe both of the Enya 120s outperformed the Saito 120 according to Mr Lee's tests.
I am still interested aquiring an Enya 155 .
As far as the stand off issues ,What to do ? Perhaps the thread starter already checked the valve adjustment as suggested ? Get some RPM measurements ? What fuel ? What glow plug ?

I've used all three engine The big head1.20 the 1.20S and Enya R1.20. At 6K feet of altitude the big head Saito with the carb insert would turn the heavy MAS props (like18x6) faster than the Enya and it had better tractability with one exception.
The Saito 1.20S was a little weaker than the Enya at higher rpm up to 12K rpm. Reworking the big head Saito 1.20 (milling 1 mm off the case deck, some mild porting and adding the "S" cam) she would run with the Enya R1.20 (some props faster some props slower).
To the OP,
The failure mode I saw with the Enya was worn valve guides. If the engine was fitted with a muffler (back pressure) oil would tend to back flow, up the worn guide and "flood" the rocker box. This might be what you are seeing. With the valve half open you should not feel (see) any side to side movement in the stem as you put some side loading on the valve stem.
Cam timing marks should look like this.
The tractability issue I had with the big head Saito on heavy props was that if I pulled back on the throttle suddenly you could hear the flame go out . As the prop windmilled down to the speed that throttle was set to (low power or idle) she might relight. Even with on board glow I never got 100% reliability.
K'rad, check out page 4 on the review of the Enya 120-4C
The same review is in the RCM 4 Stroke Anthology book from many years ago. Mr Lee reports the Enya running about 300 RPM stronger on larger props . This was the Saito 120 of that time against the small valve Enya 120. You may also see the power gains at higher revs with the R120-4C.
From page 1 ,this thread:
Valve guide wear as well as general valve related wear are suspect. This is why I referred to starting out by checking lash. Hopefully he did not get himself a clapped-out used and abused engine !

As I don't see a date on the review and that he mentions the OS I'm confident that Mr. Lee was comparing the Enya 1.204C to the old pre "S" Saito 1.20 and the pre Surpass OS 1.20. The Enya was why OS finally conceded that the market wanted powerful four cycle engines, not just quiet engines for "Sport/ Sunday fliers".
As I recall the OS surpass was the stronger engine until the YS came on the scene
I'm sorry to say I no longer have the notes from my four cycle experiments. Thinking back I think the Saito S1.20 was on par and my reworked big head actually stronger than the R1.20 Not that this is a fair comparison as I had tuned the Saito for my flying conditions, 6K feet altitude. As I recall the stock OS Surpass 1.20 out ran all these stock engines when it came out.
The OS Surpass lived up to it's name and was pretty much top of the heap for a time. The Enya R120 and Saito were pretty well matched as I recall. The Enya 120 geared pump with it's huge carb was quite a contender but a bit troublesome. I never owned a GP Enya but a very capable friend did...not for very long. Could have been a fun one to play with.
The Enya 120 review is also in my RCM book dated 1985. Pre OS 120 Surpass as well as being Saito FA-120, Pre 120-S era.
I for one would like to have one of the smooth running pre "S" 120 Saitos. Some of the old ,soft tuned 4 strokes have a real charm .
I am hesitent to say much in this part of the discussion since I've never owned a Saito 1.20 but i I did have an Enya 1.20GP which I sold to a guy in Turky. It and the 1.55 I had had a really irritating exhaust note. It had a sharp bark to it compared to the Saitos deep throb. I may try to put a Saito muffler on my Enya .90 and see if that improves the exhaust note.

I am partial to these TurboHeaders, on most Saitos they are good for an average of about 220 rpm. On a Saito .50 the TH gave a 210 rpm increase but on the 1.00 twin a pair of them provided a 270 rpm boost. Not double the increase on the .50 like you'd think. Interestingly on the Saito 1.25 the TH provided no increase in rpm. It would be interesting to try a TH on the new Saito 125 engine as it has the valves angled out more and larger cooling fins.

K-man, they are a tuned chamber with a beveled end in the chamber. If you buy a 12mm one for a Saito 1.00 it is an open chamber but if you specify it for an .80 or .82 than it comes with a reversion cone in the end. The reversion cone has four holes in it to let the exhaust out. Here ya go. I'm headed for the flyin field.
I have been doing pretty much the same thing with an open ended, plain tube outer and the anti reversion inner. It is a practice I picked up from racing 4 stroke karts with my son 25 years ago. The peak gains have been minimal but tractability improves . Lots of room for tinkering. I have one on a 7 year old Saito .56 at present.Sounds great.
I will post a photo in the next few days. I am going off to help my late friend's widow today. Flying tomorrow

Thanks IT,
I was not aware of these. Reading your description it sounds like they are trying to control the reversionary pulse (positive pressure wave) from reintroducing contaminating exhaust into the combustion chamber during valve overlap.
Reading the TH site it looks like they are touting the looks and sound of the header more than the performance. I did not see and data showing sound level comparison with the original engine's OEM muffler nor did I see any comparison data for performance such as open stack, OEM muffler and the TH.
Do you know if they (TH) have a white paper on this device?
Again thanks for the link,

CHICAGO — An Illinois man who more than 27 years ago was identified as a victim of a notorious Burbank, Ill., pedophile filed suit Tuesday against his alleged abuser as well as the Boy Scouts for failing to protect him.
The man, who filed the lawsuit anonymously in Cook County Circuit Court, had "compartmentalized" his memories of the sexual abuse, which allegedly happened on numerous occasions in 1985 when he was a 10-year-old Boy Scout, said Christopher Hurley, his attorney.
Memories of the abuse only resurfaced when the Boy Scouts of American in October released their long-secret "perversion files" under the orders of an Oregon court overseeing a civil case against the organization. The man, who is now married with a family, looked online through the files for his former Scout leader Thomas Hacker, Hurley said.
Hacker, now 76, is serving a 100-year prison sentence for sexually abusing boys. The father of three was able to keep working as a Scout leader of a troop that served the Burbank and Oak Lawn area despite being convicted of sex crimes against youths in Indianapolis in 1970 and Mount Prospect in 1971.
"He was very shrewd," said retired Cook County assistant state's attorney Jim McCarter, who prosecuted the criminal case. Hacker used his Boy Scouts post to work with children, looking for kids who might be vulnerable, McCarter said.
The Boy Scouts declined to comment, issuing a statement saying they had not yet seen the lawsuit.
"We deeply regret that there have been times when Scouts were abused, and for that we are very sorry and extend our deepest sympathies to victims," the statement said.

Alright, you insufferable piece of garbage! Let's get into this since you've been ducking me! No restrictions! No time outs! No holds barred! Spotlight is on you! You are mine!
FD: Relax. You need to get laid, ASAP.
1) What sort of blackmail do you have over Terry Pegula that enables you to keep your job?
FD: Name one mistake I have ever made. Name one thing you would have done differently. Terry wants a GM with experience and luckily for him, he has one of the longest tenured architects in the game. I am building a powerhouse and if you and the "fans" would just give me time, I'll deliver the Cup….He eats this shit up.
2) What was it like to see Lindy Ruff? Did you guys hug?
FD: Lindy and I have been in contact through texts for awhile. He sends me a lot funny pictures. Are we LinkedIn? No. Facebook? Yes, but only for Candy Crush. There was a single bro-hug, and he really didn't want to let go, I could sense that.
3) Any regrets on firing him? Set the record straight.
FD: Regret? It was the most exhilarating day of my life. I only wish I could fire five people a day. I'd fire you, the Two in the Box guys, Buffalo Wins Bieber, John Murphy just for the shocked look on his face, Mark Kelso, Bobby Hurley, Section 317, Brian Degnan, about 30 Fake Rolston accounts on Twitter….I need to make a shirt that says I Want To Fire You on the front, and You've been shit-canned by Darcy on the back.
4) So, why did you trade Thomas Vanek? Also, how did you break the news to him?
FD: I traded Camel because Garth Snow is an idiot and needed to be exposed. I have another shirt idea; Made a Deal With Darcy And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt. I called Thomas and asked him "Do you know who's having a worse day than Thad Lewis? YOU! Enjoy Uniondale."
5) Have you been involved in the construction of the Harbor Center?
FD: I am not good at building things.
6) Can you tell me anything about Matt Moulson?
FD: How about those eyebrows, eh? Looks like the biggest caterpillar you've ever seen is doing the dolphin across his forehead. I'm afraid if he and Stafford ever bumped heads we'd never get all that Velcro apart.
7) Your strategy seems to be that you are acquiring as many draft picks as possible. What is the reason for this?
FD: Simple. It takes five years to find out how we'll be in five years. I am hitting the reset button. It's called self-preservation, and I have a PhD in it.
8) Do you get input from Kris Baker about prospects? I mean, God knows you are kind of an idiot and need all the help you can get, right?
FD: Yeah, I listen to bloggers. What's next? Take advice from Bucky? Get outta here.
9) Oh, why are the Sabres a grease fire of awfulness?
FD: Chicken wings are made in grease. French Fries and doughnuts are too, I think. I heard people make turkey in grease and even Snickers! Sometimes you have to put up with a grease fire here and there to get the good stuff. You have to admit, I made a great point.
10) What is going on with Grigorenko and why is he on the 4th line?
FD: Griggers is on the 4th line because we don't run 8 lines.
11) Alright, I gotta ask you about the John Scott hit. Why have you decided to employ the goons like him and Kaleta?
FD: To keep goons like you and Harrington far away from me. Our fans are really softening. The reaction to Scottsy's hit from our fans was treasonous. When Big John hoists the Cup twenty feet in the air, he and I will be vindicated.
12) Any truth to the rumor that you are going to fight Mike Milbury?
FD: Remember what I said about Garth Snow? He is an exponentially better GM than Milbury ever was. I don't need to fight Milbury. Just give him a couple of spoons and some pots and pans and he'll be occupied for hours. Don't send him a link to this.
13) Why the hell does Andrew Peters have a job?
FD: You hire fighters knowing you can't fire fighters. Rayzor barely has command of the English language and his job is as safe as mine. Remember this when Scottsy signs his five year extension.
14) What the hell happened with Pominville not being acknowledged? Were you responsible for this?
FD: For what?!?! For bringing us the worst goal call pun in the history of hockey? We got rid of the Blooper reel. What message does it send if we put up Pommer's highlights?
15) Why has Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Tyler Ennis and pretty much everyone you've given an extension to been awful?
FD: It's odd. I mean, I got my extension last year and the team responded so well. I really don't have an answer to this perplexing question, so I'll blame the media. Their fault completely.
16) What is the latest on Ryan Miller? Is he getting traded?
FD: I might get an airport in trade for Miller. *rubs hands together*
17) Are you worried about the Bucky and Sully Show? I've seen that they have gone head-to-head against the Sabres broadcasts?
FD: HA! That's like asking if the Bills playoff run will affect our ticket sales! It's an impossible hypothetical! Ludicrous! Perhaps you should get together with them and put together some reality show. Pudgy Puggle Bucky and Sully! No, not worried.
18) What is your relationship like with Ron Rolston?
FD: Besties. He's terrific.
19) What is your must see movie in theaters?
FD: "Jason Pominville's Career Highlights: An NBC Digital Short"
20) What does Ted Black do?
FD: Teaches the media how to properly ask questions and hands out programs.
21) Why did you get rid of Patrick Kaleta?
FD: Because he's been pretty invisible the last few games.
22) Mailbag update? Yeah..I know, it will rise like The Titanic.
FD: Next week, for sure. I don't have many more pieces to trade that anyone will want so I will have a ton of free time. Look for it.

As pretty as this little jewelry holder is, my mouth hung open when I pulled it out of the box because it was so much smaller than I had imagined.
Comments about Blue Enameled Three-Tiered Jewelry Stand:
I love this item. I also was able to get it at a great price while it was on sale. It is beautiful and it is a great size. I am able to use it to hold not only jewelry but things like my tweezers and small face care products and contact lens case. So it helps my bathroom counter remain a little less cluttered!

I bought this to go on a shelf in my bedroom where I often put jewelry after taking it off for the day. It's very pretty and makes a great place to put those items overnight or for a few days before you put them away. It keeps them from being lost or getting tangled up. I'm very pleased with it.

HEDGESVILLE - Though the Hedgesville senior softball team had a seemingly easy road to the Southeast Regional with three very lopsided wins, the team is preparing and ready for tougher competition in Fort Myers, Fla.
The girls have been getting in as much practice as possible, especially on defense.
Coach Scott Sigler said though they did not see fielding as an issue during the state tournament, the coaches felt it could use practice for tougher teams hitting harder balls at them.
Article Photos
Here is the Hedgesville Senior League girls all-star team will be competing in the Southeast Regional in Fort Myers, Fla. Team members include Lindsey Criswell, Brenna Haught, Jordyn Munson, Haley Pitzer, Tylo Vance, Allie Anders, Marissa Shetley, Lauren Ingram, Alex Pusateri, Kayla Payne, Bethany Tenney, Meghan Dunleavy, Alex Fierey. The coaching staff is Tim Mumaw, Scott Sigler and Jenn Myers.
"When we hit ground balls, we hit pretty hard shots," Sigler said laughing. "They all got bruises. They wear them as badges of courage."
Hedgesville looks to continue its big offense and aggression on the bases to help them pull out wins in the regionals.
"The managers and coaches feel these girls can hit the ball," he said.
Haley Pitzer, Marissa Shetley and Lindsey Criswell are being looked at for key hits and to "carry big sticks," Sigler said. He said Kayla Payne also had a nice tournament already, hoping she can carry that momentum into regionals. After scoring 11 runs twice and 22 runs once in the state tournament, the team hopes to continue that double-digit streak with its bats.
Two other players Sigler believes will continue their great play offensively are Jordyn Munson and Brenna Haught, who have been on fire.
"Brenna's one when we get her on base, she will be doing some running. She runs like a deer," Sigler said.
Aggression on the bases is the other side of Hedgesville's game plan, one they've seen success with so far. The coach said like Haught, other girls on the team run "like a deer," but even the ones who lack speed are smart runners.
"We make teams get us out," he said, saying their normal base running style will be seen in the regional tournament.
On the mound, the team feels confident with their talented rotation.
The two big bats at the plate transition to big arms on the mound, and their coaches are expecting them to perform as they have all season.
"We expect Jordyn Munson and Brenna Haught to be basically our two main pitchers," Sigler said.
"We're pretty loaded on pitching," he added, listing other girls who will see mound time, including offensive hopeful Criswell.
With all the work the Hedgesville girls have put in on the field, they've put just as much in off the field to get them to Fort Myers.
They spent hours fundraising to help lower the cost of travel including a car wash and shifts at Food Lion where supporters donated to the cause.
"On and off the field, these girls worked hard," Sigler commended his team.
The Hedgesville coach does not expect to see blowout scores like they did in the state tournament. Sigler said he knows his team will face tougher competition at this level, but the girls have been playing together for five years and are looking to win together since it's the last chance for some of them who are moving on to other levels of play.
Hedgesville plays Honaker, Va., Saturday morning in its first game in tthe tournament.

Can you tell me why this is better lan than Adroits et lan?
guess only because of prices, it's way cheaper for some people to go to poland then to netherlands
its only cheaper for polish guys :/
well, not only. For example I talked with devastation and they told me that for some of them its like 200 euro cheaper to come to poland then to adroits lan
200€ cheaper? im paying around 200€ btw, that would mean that im paying liek nothing there ;))
that's what I heard from tomoyo
hes from fr and im sure its cheaper for him to come to enschede ^^

na miejscu bedzie sprzet typu klawiatura, myszka czy sluchawki ale nie beda gornych lotow.
Przeciez karta graficzna akurat w ET nie ma zadnego znaczenia, wiec nawet jakbys do kompa wpakowal GF GTX680 to wzrostu fpsow nie zauwazysz.
procesory sa tam dobre, ale karty graficzne zintegrowane wiec potrzebujemy troche nowszych/lepszych.

Lord of the Rings: A family tree
Traditionally, most people research their own family, or one that that they have some connection to - but college student Emil Johansson is different.
Johansson has chosen a more peculiar family tree. He recently received international attention when he published his gigantic tree focusing on most of the characters in "Lord of the Rings".
In his own words, Johansson is "overly enthusiastic about Tolkien's Lord of the Rings," leading him to create a project where he has attempted to collect all Middle Earth's characters and creatures in one giant family tree.
Eighteen months ago, he began studying chemical engineering at Chalmers University of Technology, but it wasn't an easy choice:

Eat starches and protein with healthy fats - I like my own rendered beef or lamb tallow best.

Samsung unveils Galaxy Alpha, a smart phone to rival upcoming iPhone 6
Samsung has shed its traditional plastic shell for a metal frame on the Galaxy Alpha, its latest smart phone.
The Galaxy Alpha is a shinier, ultrathin version of Samsung's flagship Galaxy S5 and will go on sale in early September, just in time to duel with the iPhone 6.
Many of the features on the Galaxy Alpha are similar to what is expected for Apple's next smart phone. Notably, the Galaxy Alpha features a 4.7-inch screen, the same size rumored for the iPhone 6, and a metal frame, which has always been a defining characteristic of Apple's phones. The Galaxy Alpha is also just 0.26 inch thick, thinner than the current iPhone 5s.
Samsung is likely hoping the Galaxy Alpha can help its sales once Apple announces its next device. The South Korean giant has had a tough time keeping up with Apple in 2014, with sales of the nearly year-old iPhone 5s continuing to eclipse those of the newer Galaxy S5.
Apple, meanwhile, is expected to announce the iPhone 6 on Sept. 9.
