Rising numbers of pupils taken out of private schools by parents who can no longer afford the fees are ending up in tough comprehensives as competition increases for top grammars and academies. One admissions appeals service said enquiries from parents whose child has been assigned to an unpopular or distant school after leaving an independent are up by half on last year.
Overall as many as 100,000 parents across the country face disappointment today when local councils announce secondary school allocations for September. Around one in six families are expected to miss out on their first-choice school on National Offer Day, rising to more than half in parts of London and the South-East. With top secondaries including grammars, academies, faith schools and flagship government free schools up to nine times over-subscribed, soaring numbers of parents are expected to appeal.
The competition for these schools is presenting problems for parents forced to abandon independent education for financial reasons whose children, it is claimed, could arrive at their new school with a big target on their back.
Like Will in the hit TV comedy the Inbetweeners they face a struggle to fit in, especially if sent to schools miles from their friends. Matt Richards, a senior partner in School Appeals Services which helps families challenge admissions decisions, said it had been contacted by 50 per cent more parents than last year who had left the fee-paying sector and were unhappy with the new school.
They cant afford to pay school fees so have had to give notice, he said.
They thought their child would get into the local secondary school but instead are sent to a school three miles away. Its very difficult. A child coming from a private school will turn up with a big target on their back.
He added that some children were sitting at home rather than attend the school they had been allocated. The number of pupils in private education dropped for the third year in a row last year. Meanwhile up to nine pupils are vying for each place at Englands over-subscribed academies and free schools, making them as popular as leading faith and grammar schools.
Haberdashers Askes Hatcham College, an academy in south-east London, attracted 1,517 applications for 161 places, while King Solomon Academy in Westminster drew 480 for 60 slots. The West London Free School, set up by journalist and author Toby Young to provide a grammar school-style education at a comprehensive, attracted 1,070 applications for just 120 places. Tamsin Kelly, of parenting website Parentdish.co.uk, said: National Offer Day is a nightmare for parents in over-subscribed areas.
Schools Minister Nick Gibb said: There are still too many pupils trying to get into too few good schools. Our school reforms will raise standards and create more good schools.

Dusty Rose In Bikini Busters
Featuring Dusty Rose
Date May 7th, 2009
Duration 24:58
Busty and mature Dusty Rose loves to turn it up. "Have you ever seen such monstrous, big-boy titties?" she brags, making direct eye-contact. Dusty's into it, fingering her bikini. Her fuck friend in this chapter of Bikini Busters has a high-energy cock chore coming up but he was chosen because he can handle a highly-sexed woman like Dusty. "Like those? I know you wanna fuck my hot, juicy tits." Dusty pours suntan oil on her tits after moving her top to the side. Our cameraman swoops in for an extreme close-up of her nipples dripping with oil. Dusty dumps the whole bottle over her chest and ass! She climbs into the whirpool and soaks waiting for the arrival of Johnny Rod. Dusty watches lots of porn, raunchy porn, not chick-light porn, so she thinks about sex constantly. Porn sex, not romantic erotica. She likes seeing dirty sluts swallow huge cocks and watching hung studs fuck the shit out of horny porn bitches.

By AMANDA EISENBAUM
Kure Pilates by Krysta Studio at 401 Bloomfield St., in Hoboken opened this week with a different focus than most studios: it specializes in treating injuries.
Kure Pilates started out as a private practice for owner Krysta Johnson. "I've been in physical therapy since I was 14," she said. "It helped me so much but it's very hard to continue that rehab outside."
Johnson uses Pilates as a rehabilitation tool for her clients. It has also helped her after knee and spinal fusion surgeries.
"I beat my body up young," Johnson said, citing field hockey, track and softball as the main cause of her injuries. Pilates helps "focus on parts of the body that are weakened," and helps rebuild flexibility and balance," Johnson said.
Clients from her from her private business are following her to the studio. One client, Jason Metz, has only seen Johnson for two months but referred to her as "a diamond in the rough."
"Not many people know about her but she's great," Metz said. "I've seen countless chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturists and pain management people, but no one had gotten to the bottom" of my pain.
Metz said he started getting bad back issues a few years after an accident. "No one has been able to do more than mask the pain," he said. "She knows her stuff."
Johnson said she has been practicing Pilates for 10 years and worked under Erika Bloom at Erika Bloom Pilates Plus in Manhattan. She has been teaching for seven years, and has certifications that log over 600 hours. "The biggest complaint I get from my clients is low back pain," Johnson said.
She suggested the best way to alleviate the pain is to "address the core and the realigned and repatterning of your muscles."
The goal of Kure Pilates, said Johnson, is to "educate people on their bodies." The program is individually-based. Johnson or one of her certified instructors "take an assessment and build on long-term and short-term goals," she said.
Johnson offers private and semi-private sessions that go up to three clients.
"We like to add semi-private pre-natal classes, and offer nanny care" for moms while they attend classes, Johnson said.

WASHINGTON - When the Phillies unveiled the Four Aces inside a Clearwater, Fla., cafeteria in February, Roy Oswalt sat silently and grinned. Nothing could derail the image of those pitchers forming one of the greatest rotations ever - except, oh, the daily grind of a 162-game season.
That grind claimed Oswalt on a rainy April night in South Philadelphia, when he grabbed his back and left a game. Two months later, in front of a locker in St. Louis, he wondered aloud about his future when the pain in his back was too great.
But it was here, the building where his Phillies career began a little more than a year earlier, where Oswalt made the Four Aces whole again Saturday. The life flowed through Oswalt's diminutive frame and into his right arm, which tossed eight shutout innings in a 5-0 Phillies win over the Washington Nationals. He struck out a season-high nine batters in what was unquestionably his finest performance of 2011.

According to the Sophia's Heart Foundation website, the 31-year-old singer "is thrilled to have found Leyicet who also shares his passion and desire to help children and families in need."

Joining Gokey on the cruise is Kalamazoo's Matt Giraud.

5 Reasons Moving Sucks (And Costs) More Than You Expect
#2. ... And Then Your New Place Will be a Money Pit
If I tell you to budget money to "decorate" your new place, every single male in the readership will roll his eyes and mentally strike it off. "Dude, like I'm going to be spending thousands of dollars on curtains and rugs and wallpaper. I ain't gay! Who told you I was gay? Who was it? Was it fucking Tyler? I'll kick his ass!"
OK, tough guy, here's what happens. You're standing in your new place, and suddenly you realize that the whole world can see into your house, because there is nothing covering your windows. The place didn't come with curtains or blinds. You're walking around the house nude, and there's a school bus unloading a bunch of toddlers next door. What are you going to do, tape up a bunch of newspapers?
See, the first look is free. After that, you start charging, and that's where you get 'em hooked.
So, fine, you decide you'll go buy the cheapest curtains they make. That's what I did at my new place.
Total curtain bill: 250 fucking dollars. Again, not designer rich-people curtains. These were one step up from just thumb-tacking bedsheets to over the windows.
At one point, I tried hanging up a live dog, but it just licked the glass until it was all tongue-smudged.
Yeah, that's just the beginning of the decorating bill, and I'm not even including fancy things I sprung for, like the hundreds of live doves I make my fiance release behind me whenever I enter a room in slow motion. Is your new place exactly the same size as your old one? No? Then a lot of your shit won't fit in the new place.
Now you find yourself asking, "Where the hell am I going to put this china cabinet I'm using to display my bongs?" If you can't make it fit, all of your choices involve losing money: 1) giving it away 2) paying to put it into storage 3) selling it on short notice to whomever will take it off your hands before you're forced to do either of the first two. Expect to get back about five percent of what you paid.
Though it may be best for your neighbors to not see some of the freaky shit in your garage sale.
#1. Disaster Will Strike
This isn't bad luck. It's statistical certainty. Even if you're not living under a gypsy curse like Brockway, something awful will happen.
It's just the law of averages. For each person and step you add to a project, you up the likelihood that something will break down. And think about who all needs to do their job correctly for your move to go smoothly. The hookup technicians at a half dozen utilities. The movers, if you're using them. The landlords and/or maintenance guys at the new place (and there's always some project they are supposed to finish before your move in date, even if it's just painting the place).
"We're thinking light green to contrast the brick."
And lots of these people just don't give a shit.
Back in June, I talked about what an enormous clusterfuck it was getting my Internet connection turned on. I thought I was giving them plenty of time by calling two weeks in advance. It wound up taking 51 days. Somebody on their end made a mistake. Or rather, just wrote down the appointment without checking to see if they actually offered service to the neighborhood.
And in general, every assumption you make about transferring an account turns out to be wrong. Yes, it doesn't help that my credit is shot from years of being poor, but all the local cable/satellite providers wanted up to $600 in up-front fees before they even billed the first month. One of those companies was DirecTV ... the same people who I had been using for the past year at my old place without any deposits or credit checks. But since that account was used in another town (and another county), the local dealers in my new town didn't acknowledge it. There was no transferring the account to my new house. I had to start from scratch.
Now think of the infinite universe of tiny, losable little objects you depend on. Your contact lens case. Your box cutter. Your one good pair of scissors. You will lose approximately half of them in the move. They're lost at the bottom of a cardboard box full of blank CD-R discs and ink cartridges for a printer you no longer own. Or, if your move takes more than one day, you'll get stuck in that netherworld where half of your shit exists in one apartment and half in the other, and the tiny, losable little object you need right now is in whichever place you don't happen to be at the moment. Regardless of where it is, you won't find it until an hour after you broke down and bought a new one.
It's enough to make a man want to go on a slappin' spree. Maybe I will, as soon as I find my slappin' gloves.

when you sit in a car and smoke weed
yo, lets have a calm bake
av ryan 6. februar 2004
A group of women with shaved beavers sunbathing in the buff. The aim is to leave no tan lines. Very common on European nude beaches.
A lot of voyeur sites just feature clambake beach pics.
av wolfbait51 28. januar 2011
See Dutch Oven and Queef. Similar to the Dutch oven however it can only be done by a woman. The woman queefs under the covers and pulls them over her bedmate's head to keep them trapped in the stink.
Did you see my youtube video of me doing a crazy Clam Bake my boyfriend? For some reason he is no longer returning my phone calls....
av Mr. Jinchao 20. september 2010
A setting or event where the number of woman is overly concentrated resulting in general catty or bitchy behavior. The exact opposite of a Sausage Festival.
They need to hire some dudes on the sales team; it's a clam bake over there with all that gossiping.
av fair_claire 27. april 2010
A party at which females greatly outnumber males.
You go to a house party but it's filled with women who just went to a baby shower together, you are one of a handful of men so it's a "clambake".
av Oliver L. the wordsmith 16. juli 2013
When a woman queefs in bed, then pulls the blanket over her man's face.
female version of a Dutch oven. Guys, don't give your woman a Dutch Oven. She might give you a clam bake.
av Leatherneck65 8. oktober 2012
A Clam Bake is when you are at a party where there are more girls then there are boys. It is a "sausage fest," but with girls.
"Dude, this party is a clam bake."

A series of dialkyl ethers was allowed to react with excess hydrogen bromide, with the following results. Identify the ether in each case.
(a) One ether gave a mixture of bromocyclopentane and 1-bromobutane.
(b) Another ether gave only benzyl bromide.
(c) A third ether gave one mole of 1,5-dibromopentane per mole of ether.
Sample Solution (a) In the reaction of dialkyl ethers with excess hydrogen bromide, each alkyl group of the ether function is cleaved and forms an alkyl bromide. Because bromocyclopentane and 1-bromobutane are the products, the starting ether must be butyl cyclopentyl ether.

• Emotional problems or "nerves" are often considered etiological agents of relevance in many conditions for which patients consult physicians. This diagnosis cannot be justified or supported by an evaluation of symptoms alone, but data allowing a positive psychiatric diagnosis should be elicited. The absence of such data should cast doubt on the diagnosis and indicate the need for further investigation. Six case histories illustrate instances in which the use of the above principle was valuable in arriving at a proper diagnosis and planning an effective therapeutic approach.

This week saw CES 2010 taking place in Las Vegas, where we got our hands on a whole load of shiny new kit that will be heading to our stores this year.
Read on for our most-read CES coverage this week.
Top five news stories
In what rates as one of CES's most compelling keynotes, Jen-Hsun Huang Co-founder and President of Nvidia drew rapturous applause from wowed tech watchers with his demonstration of the Tegra mobile chip. The processor is intended to give portable devices the power of desktops yet, in Huang's words, "only sip power". He described the chip's creation as: "the greatest undertaking since our foundation."
Stand back: Panasonic unveils the world's largest Full HD 3D TV
While the 3D TVs shown at CES in 2009 were very much in the prototype stages, this year should see the arrival of 3D TVs we can actually buy. Panasonic is keen to be at the forefront of the 3D revival and its stand at this year's CES is dominated by the technology. So what better way to shout about your 3D prowess than by developing the world's largest Full HD 3D plasma display?
3D-capable Sony Bravia LX900 heads 'Monolithic' TV range
Sony turned heads at its CES 2010 press conference by showing off its new Bravia LX900, HX900, NX800 and EX700 HD TV models for 2010. An undoubted star of the show is Sony's new 'Signature' range and the feature-packed Bravia LX900. Available in 40-inch, 52-inch and 60-inch sizes, this 1080p, net-connected, edge-lit LED 3D TV is an early adopter's dream.
Project Natal to be here by Christmas
Calling 2010 "the biggest year in Xbox history" Robbie Bach, President of Entertainment and Devices at Microsoft, announced that Natal would definitely be ready for this Christmas – though he didn't say how much it would cost despite talking up the new technology in the extreme.
Alienware's new netbook can run Crysis
Alienware has just announced a new Nvidia-powered gaming netbook with enough processing power to run high-end PC games such as Crytek's sublime Crysis - still, for many, the benchmark title that sorts the real gaming machines from the try-hards.
Top five in-depth articles
Back in October 2009, TechRadar put on its felt-edged predicto-hat and tried to guess what would be grabbing the headlines at CES 2010. We called it: New Year gear to get you excited. Our thoughts naturally turned to Microsoft's Project Natal, the Courier Tablet, legions of new Kindle-rivalling e-readers and Full HD 3D TVs. And, as this year's CES has unfolded, we've not been entirely disappointed.
For the last 10 years, Gordon Bell and Jim Gemmell of Microsoft Research have been scanning and digitising their entire lives: documents, phone calls, files, chat sessions, email, the web pages they read, the TV and radio shows they watched and listened to, where they want, what applications they had open… Over the next 10 years, you're going to do the same, Gemmell told the Storage Visions conference at CES 2010.
Microsoft keynote: it's all about the PC
In the opening CES keynote this year, CEO Steve Ballmer and Entertainment and Devices president Robbie Bach repeated the "three screens plus the cloud" story that Microsoft has been pitching for a while, although they concentrated on the PC and TV screens, brushing past Windows Mobile with a demo of the already-launched HTC HD2, the usual vague hint from Ballmer about bringing "the Zune music and video service to other Microsoft platforms" and the promise of announcements at Mobile World Congress next month.
The PC market might be recovering, but the 25% average market growth in the third quarter of last year means only one thing to Asus CEO Jonney Shih: a great comparison for the 56% that Asus delivered. "We are well on our way to our goal to be one of the top three portable PC vendors by 2011," Shih promises. And the secret isn't just selling lots of netbooks: "the key to this level of leadership and performance is the Asus innovation".
Intel: wireless tech needs to get better, faster
During his keynote at CES Intel's CEO Paul Otellini said that while computing was evolving and becoming about more than the PC, connectivity was key to this change. "Smartphones truly embody personal computing," Otellini said. "Wireless connectivity is critical and 3G is great, but it's not fast enough. 4G technologies like WiMAX are needed to deliver on the promise and potential of these new devices."
Top five hands-on reviews
Hands on: Lenovo Skylight review
At a packed CES press conference, Lenovo took the wraps off Skylight – a new 10.6-inch ARM-based netbook device running Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip. The tiny 800g notebook really is a marvel, with a good-feeling keyboard that belies its size, HDMI connector and a 10-hour battery life. We had been expecting the device to be launched, but what we weren't expecting was the use of a new, proprietary Linux-based OS. Indeed, previous Snapdragon-based netbook prototypes that we've seen were running Google's Android.
Hands on: Motorola Backflip review
CES isn't usually the place for major mobile phone announcements, but Motorola has announced its third Android handset here. After the Cliq and the Droid comes the Backflip which, as you'll see from our snaps, includes a foldover reverse flip QWERTY keyboard. The Backflip will be coming to Europe after its launch in the US.
Sony's Dash is one of the devices that has most impressed us at this year's CES. The so-called "personal application viewer" is a nifty little internet-enabled device which packs a 7-inch touch screen and an accelerometer. There's also a USB port for connecting devices, as well as a headphone jack.
Hands on: T-Mobile Vega Android tablet review
Away from the CES 2010 show floor, T-Mobile gave us a sneak peek at a product that will be coming later in the year: an ultra-thin 15" Android touch screen tablet codenamed Vega. This isn't just another Android device for the sake of doing something that isn't a PC or a tablet to take advantage of the hype about whatever Apple might or might not launch; while it's got a web browser and it will play YouTube videos and work with BBC iPlayer, the main application is a shared family calendar for getting everyone organised.
Hands on: Lenovo Lephone review
At its press conference this afternoon, Lenovo announced the LePhone – initially intended for the Chinese market. Like Lenovo's other big announcement, the Skylight netbook, it runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor. Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing introduced the handset by saying he believed the "Lephone is the best device in this category." The handset is a looker, with an 800×400 pixel screen and a proprietary Linux-based OS.

A SERIAL "sex predator" obsessed with the BBC newsreaders Fiona Bruce and Emily Maitlis was given four life sentences yesterday for the gunpoint rape of an Ann Summers shop assistant.
David Decoteau pretended to be a customer at the sex shop before grabbing his victim, pulling out a pistol and threatening to "blow her brains out" if she did not do as she was told.
The terrified woman was dragged into an office, bound, gagged, partially stripped and "mercilessly" assaulted.
Once Decoteau had finished, he brazenly sauntered past customers with 1,500 stolen from the safe and disappeared.
Although he was jailed for 12 years for raping a 15-year-old girl a few months later, it took nearly a decade, significant advances in DNA profiling and a "cold case" review before Decoteau, 45, was identified as the armed attacker in the Ann Summers store, Southwark Crown Court in London was told.
Police also discovered that he had an "unhealthy fixation" for the Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis - he called her his "special lady" and wrote to her from prison - and was "fascinated" by BBC newsreader Fiona Bruce and her ITV colleague Nina Hossain.
Decoteau, from Camberwell, London, was convicted of raping the shop assistant in 1996, indecently assaulting and falsely imprisoning her, possessing a handgun to carry out the attack and robbery.
As the woman watched from the public gallery, the judge, Stephen Robbins, said
Decoteau's "continuing behaviour" since his release from prison two years ago "leaves this court in no doubt you clearly represent a danger to society, namely a sexual danger to females".
The judge said psychological and psychiatric reports made clear he posed a "high risk of sexual reoffending".
After explaining there would be a total of four concurrent life sentences imposed - one each for the rape, the robbery, the handgun possession and the false imprisonment - as well as an eight-year term for indecent assault, the judge said he would have to serve a minimum of ten years before being considered for parole.
At that point, Decoteau lost his temper, looked up at the judge and swore at him.
Outside court, Det Sergeant Jackie Murphy spoke of her "absolute delight" with the sentence.
The case officer, who received a "peculiar" letter full of sexual innuendo from Decoteau after his conviction, said: "This means women are a whole lot safer. He is clearly a sexual deviant with a history of sexual offending."
During his trial - much of which he spent reading a Bible - jurors heard that,
while in prison for raping the schoolgirl, he developed an "unhealthy fixation" for the three presenters.
His attitude towards women was so worrying that after his release he was banned from contacting Ms Maitlis or going anywhere near BBC News Centre.
When his home was searched during the Ann Summers rape investigation, police found a picture of Ms Maitlis by his bed, six rolls of PVC tape and a series of "scribblings" about rape, violence and sexual positions.
Decoteau had also jotted down notes about the sex-shop chain, its profits and its chief executive, Jacqueline Gold.
STALKING is now one of the fastest growing crimes in Britain.
Most victims are professional women aged between 20 and 40.
A number of high-profile celebrities have also been targeted.
Well-known victims include Jill Dando (pictured), 37, who was murdered outside her home in west London in 1999 by Barry George, an obsessed fan.
In 2005 Barry Tullet, 57, was jailed for six months for sending Sue Barker, the Question of Sport presenter, a letter saying she would be "the next Jill Dando".
Madonna has also been plagued by stalkers. The most terrifying was Robert Dewey Hoskins, who was jailed for ten years for threatening to slit her throat if she did not marry him.
In 2005 Catherine Zeta-Jones branded Dawnette Knight "evil" after she threatened to cut her into pieces, claiming to be in love with the actress's husband, Michael Douglas.
Other celebrities who have suffered include David Beckham, Meg Ryan, Michael J Fox, Olivia Newton John, Pamela Anderson and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Stalkers have also plagued sports stars, especially tennis players.
Monica Seles was stabbed in 1993 by a man obsessed with her rival, Steffi Graf.
Newscasters who have been stalked include Selina Scott, who was trailed for seven years by a fan.
Stalkers also targeted Zeinab Badawi, Anna Ford and Andrea Catherwood.

How to Gloat Over Your Captured Enemy
Posted on July 12, 2009 | 55 Comments | Permalink | Email Article | Tweet
I totally want a Moon Men logo...
you should think about selling rocket hats in the B.I. store.
you probably shouldn't actually do it, but just think about doing it.
i didn't even notice it till you pointed it out - that is an outstanding design!
you obviously did not see the original comic where the Magnificent Robe was introduced... it's in the archives somewhere but I have forgotten what the instructions were... it was awhile ago
Are you on vacation, Scott? I believe "old Rick" is used because this is an "old strip." That, or I can foresee the future, albeit my foresight is limited to internet comic strips.
The drawings in this comic had me laughing way before I even read the first word. I think we need a Rocket Hat story arc.
It Look's like I wasn't the only one wanting to know more of the "Moonmen Chronicles"
Is it in the future or from our past? Does it ever end? Who is the ultimate victor? This story could grow into a book deal, and then maybe a full- length feature movie, heck maybe a trilogy! It Could even top the Star Wars saga! well, maybe not.....
263 comics later the series is continued. Now, if we can only see the return of Scott's brother, my life would be complete.
May I just add that I appreciate the subtle detail of Rick's knees sticking out from beneath his evil villain robe?
"How to Make It Up to a Friend You've Insulted in Your Comic"
Always funny!
The third panel made me laugh harder than I've laughed in a while.
Too fun more like!
Those *fingernails*! Beautiful and hilarious.
MoonRick's legs in panel 1 are disturbingly thin and wrinkly. Think he's getting a balanced diet up on the Moon?

The Los Angeles Lakers have gone through a lot of drama through the first few months of the season—what if Hollywood decided to dramatize the beginning of the year in L.A.?
Kobe Bryant and company are already very familiar with the movie industry, considering that they have had a plethora of stars attend their games over the years.
Who do you think could play each of the Lakers' starters? We all know Jack Nicholson would make a cameo in this movie, but who are the main stars? Let's find out.

Here's Major League Baseball's Most Guilt-Ridden Umpire, Jim Joyce, Holding a Puppy
Maybe you've heard that last night, on the very last play of what was an otherwise perfect game for Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga, umpire Jim Joyce missed the call, thus costing Galarraga his perfect game. Everybody - whether you're a fan of the team throwing the perfect game or not - wants to see a perfect game. It's like catching a shooting star. And to ruin it on the last call? It's a terrible thing.
Joyce even admitted he ruined the call, telling a Detroit sports talk radio station "No, I did not get the call correct. I kicked the shit out of it. I had a great angle, a great position, I just missed the damn call. This isn't a call. This is a history call. And I kicked the shit out of it. And I took a perfect game away from that kid who worked his ass off all night."
Oh, man. Joyce feels bad. Everyone back off him. Now the heat's on Bud Selig, the commissioner of Major League Baseball, to reverse the call. And apparently, Selig is still reviewing the call, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. But via The Big Lead, here's a picture of Jim Joyce holding a puppy.
America, forgive this guy. He knows he fucked up, and he was just trying to do his job. And he can hold a puppy. We all have our moments, you know?

STRATTANVILLE - Philipsburg-Osceola coach Jim Gonder has one of the most successful softball programs in the state, amassing 577 wins and two state titles in his 31 years, but his current team played quite possibly the strangest game ever in that time on Monday.
Playing unbeaten District 9 champion Moniteau in the first round of the PIAA Class AA playoffs in intermittent rain at Clarion-Limestone's field, the Lady Mounties had one of the worst fielding innings in their history and one of the highest scoring innings.
Known for its tough defense, P-O committed five errors in a three-run first innings, including three on one play. But, three innings later and trailing 6-3, the Lady Mounties, sparked by Abby Showers' three-run game-tying home run, scored 16 runs on eight hits and sent 19 batters to the plate in the fourth inning en route to a 19-6 win in five innings.
"I have seen games like that, but it was about 7 years ago when I was growing up," P-O starting pitcher Chelsey Henry said. "You just have to work through it."
"It was unusual," Gonder said. "We had a circus inning in a bad way, but they stayed positive. Abby's home run was huge.
"I hope we do that three more times," Gonder added later with a laugh. "I don't know. I can't explain it."
P-O (20-5) advanced to the quarterfinals, where it will play District 7 champion Beaver, a 6-0 winner over Everett, on Thursday at a site and time to be determined.
The visiting Lady Mounties, playing in their first game since the 5-4 eight-inning loss to Bald Eagle Area in the District 6 championship, scored two unearned runs in the first inning in the rain against pitcher Kennedy DeMatteis before the defense imploded in the bottom of the inning.
Three errors were made on Cortney Claypool's two-out ground ball, allowing two runs to score. One batter later, two more errors were made, and another run scored.
"I think we got a little nervous at the start," said Showers, who started at third base before moving to shortstop, "but I think we came together and came back well.
To P-O's credit, through, it went errorless the rest of the way, and it even turned a double play in the second when Henry snagged Gabby Stewart's line drive and threw to first base to catch the runner off of first. The Lady Mounties nearly turned two more double plays on ground balls in Moniteau's three-run third, but the runners were ruled safe at first both times.
After the second near DP, Sarah Hull laced a two-run double to left-center, and Taylor Hasychak followed with a run-scoring double to right-center, giving Moniteau (20-1) a 6-3 lead. Henry, a sophomore, got out of the jam by inducing a ground ball for the third out.
Megan Bainey and Annie Kost started the fourth by working walks off of DeMatteis, who gave up eight of them and hit three batters in 3 innings of work. Her most interesting line was of the 17 runs she gave up, only four were earned.
After Taffani Wagner moved both runners over with a bunt she almost beat out, Showers pounded her first home run of the season over the left field fence to tie the score.
"It was huge," Showers said of the homer. "We were down and I was thinking 'Just get a base hit.' I didn't know it went over the fence until the second baseman [Alyssa Dailey] told me it did."
Haley Frank followed with a single, and back-to-back errors - Moniteau had six miscues, including five in the inning - that loaded the bases for Henry, who chased two runs home with a single. Henry didn't have her best day pitching, but she had six RBIs, including five in the inning. She came up later with a three-run double.
"As a pitcher, I know I gave up six runs," Henry said, "so I had to make up for it."
"She can do that with the bat," Gonder said.
Every P-O batter scored in the fourth, and Kenzie Burge scored four times in going 1-for-4. Bainey batted three times in the fourth, walking, getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and singling to right to score a run.
"That was nuts," Henry said of the inning.
"We're a team that once somebody gets a hit, the rest of the team hits," Showers said.
Just like in the district title game, freshman Maggie Peck relieved Henry and retired all six batters she faced to end the game. Afterward, the attention turned toward Thursday's game against Beaver.
"Beaver must have a good pitcher," Gonder said. "We'll see what happens."

How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.
The perfect match - paint mixing
Finding the right combination of colours to match your home and personal taste is essential, but it can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In 2003, his comic series inspired a film adaptation of the same name, with Pekar portrayed by Paul Giamatti.

Virtua Tennis 2009 Review
Despite the fact that all the evidence suggests Virtua Tennis is a series stuck in a rut, Virtua Tennis 2009 is still great fun, especially in multiplayer.
In the ten years since Virtua Tennis was released in arcades, it's hardly changed. Sure, the graphics have improved a bit, and the player roster has kept up with the times, but for all intents and purposes it's exactly the same game now that it's always been. Virtua Tennis 2009 is yet another in the series that shows just how slowly SEGA's famed franchise is evolving.
Playing the game sparks mixed emotions. On the one hand, SEGA's stubborn refusal to tinker with VT's arcade-style tennis engine is great, because it's so much fun to play. But on the other hand it's frustratingly disappointing. 2009 is so much like VT3, and VT2, and even VT, that playing it induces deja vu.
This is the conundrum. Do we criticise the game for being more of the same, or do we shower it with praise for being more of the same? We'll get to that, but first, a comparison is in order. 2K Sports' Top Spin, that other tennis series, has always played second fiddle to Virtua Tennis, but with Top Spin 3, released in June last year, developer PAM raised the stakes. It superbly simulated the game of tennis with wonderful graphics and realistic gameplay. Virtua Tennis' focus has always been on less realistic, fast-paced arcade gameplay, but Top Spin 3 showed tennis enthusiasts just what was possible on "next-gen" systems. Some people, in fact, thought it VT3's superior.
So, all eyes are on SEGA. Just what would its response to the Top Spin threat be? Would it revolutionise the Virtua Tennis experience? Would it dump the arcade gameplay for sim gameplay? Well, it's not really done much at all. In fact, given that the only tangible change to the gameplay is the replacement of player dives with player stumbles, and the only meaningful new game feature is the implementation of proper online play, you half suspect that Top Spin hasn't even registered on SEGA's radar.
Don't misunderstand. Every change and addition has benefited the series. And for some hardcore VT players, the gameplay tweaks will be the stuff of megatons. Without the annoying shot diving, rallies are longer. Lobs and drop shots are more useful (not so much against the computer). The game altogether plays more fluidly, with better, more realistic animations contributing to a slightly less bonkers game of tennis. It's still firmly set in its arcade roots, (the classic VT ball trail, enthusiastic umpire voice and ridiculously cheesy SEGA music just won't go away), it's just a better game.
Bar these changes, there's little new to get excited about. There are loads of new courts. There's a new roster, which includes Andy "laid back" Murray, Roger "not as good as he used to be" Federer, Rafael "veiny guns" Nadal and Maria "legs" Sharapova. The World Tour plays out like it did before, with created players (via a more robust player creation tool) rising up the ranks towards world number one by winning tournaments. As before money earned can be spent on new gear from the shop. And, as before, you can make your player look like one hell of a tit, which you'll probably do, just because you can. Abilities are raised by playing the 12 mini-games, a Virtua Tennis trademark. Five are completely new, the best of which is undoubtedly Pot Shot, a nine ball mini-game that sees you serve the cue ball from the bottom of the screen onto an American pool table, adding spin with the thumbstick. It's great fun, actually, especially in multiplayer. And because your scores are fed into online worldwide leaderboards, don't be surprised to find yourself serving more breaks than aces. Oh, and Zoo Keeper's great, too.

LONDON (Standard & Poor's) Nov. 23, 2006--Despite still-low levels of cash generation, online businesses remain especially attractive acquisition targets for newspaper groups in Europe and the U.S., says a research report published yesterday by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. Titled "U.S. and European Newspaper Groups Stake Their Future On Multimedia," the report shows that with newspaper circulation on the decline in all developed markets, diversification by these groups into other media, including digital, will be crucial to their future success. "Flush with the perceived net debt capacity surpluses available after generally good financial performances in 2005, newspaper owners in Europe and the U.S. are keen to secure new sources of revenue growth," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Anna Overton....

Virus attacks through social media
A nasty Trojan virus nicknamed Zeus has been spreading quickly through social media outlets like Facebook and via links to fake Web pages.
Once a system is compromised, the virus waits until the user accesses a banking account or credit card website, wherein it captures login and personal data.
That information gets transferred to servers controlled by cybercriminals, who sell the data or drain the victim's bank account.
Zeus began circulating the Internet about six years ago but has resurfaced in recent months, according to Internet security firm Trend Micro.
The New York Times' Nicole Perlroth reported that millions of computers already are infected.
Most of the infected computers are in the United States.
Much of this malware's recent rapid disbursement comes via links posted on Facebook.
Culprits set up fake profiles and post links on popular fan pages or hack user accounts to spam links to "friends."
In many cases, links take users to a website where they're prompted to purchase knockoff designer goods. The victim's credit card number (along with name and address) gets sold or used to place fraudulent charges.
The virus also spreads from compromised e-mail accounts: The Trojan accesses an infected user's contact list and sends e-mails with links to malware-infected pages.
If you ever receive a suspicious-looking e-mail with a link or attachment, contact the sender to confirm whether he or she actually sent the e-mail.
It is better to be aware of what's happening to safeguard your accounts.

LANSING, MI -- Police are looking for witnesses of a serious crash early Monday morning in which a driver allegedly fled the scene.
A motorcyclist was traveling along westbound Interstate 96 about 2 a.m. between Waverly and Creyts roads in Eaton County's Windsor Township.A full-size pickup truck towing a trailer veered into the motorcyclist's lane, causing the motorcyclist to attempt to evade a collision, according to Michigan State Police.
The motorcyclist lost control of his vehicle and it overturned. The driver of the truck used a median turnaround to get onto eastbound I-96, then fled the scene, police said.
The motorcyclist, a 32-year-old Charlotte man, was taken to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
State Police were assisted at the scene by the Eaton County Sheriff's Office and the Windsor Township Fire Department and emergency personnel.
Those who witnessed the crash are asked to call the State Police's Lansing post at 517-322-1907.

American Idol, March 18, 2009: The Results Get Sucked Into a Scary Ring of Fire Edition
Could the awful "Ring of Fire" be enough to submarine Adam Lambert today? It seems unlikely--and, if it does, don't be surprised to see the judges break out the save a little earlier than they wanted to--but it was one of the strangest and most off-putting performances I've ever seen on the show.
If Adam isn't the victim of the national vote tonight, though, I have a hard time imagining them saving any of the other singers tonight. Or, at least, not any of the others that seem likely to be pushed over the edge. Before we find out, though, we have to endure the sing and dance extravaganza that always makes me want to lash out wildly at the nearest high school drama troupe (but that might just be a me thing) followed swiftly by a Ford infomercial happily unfunded by massive bailouts from our phenomenally generous government.
Safe: Danny. Which is as it should be. Lil Rounds. With extra, post announcement squeakiness. Anoop. He's so lucky he got that second chance.
Not So Safe: Allison. Maybe she's not pretty enough? For once, I don't mean that with Extra Snark--I'm just surprised that she's in the bottom three tonight. Sarver. Who just got Punk'd by Ryan Seacrest in a really cruel way.
Safe: Art Garfunkel. Which is fine. Megan. Because she is definitely pretty enough. Matt Giraud. Which he deserved (even if it wasn't best of the night). Kris. Which is a matter of luck. Adam Lambert. Lucky bastard.
Not So Safe: Alexis. Which is reasonably well-deserved.
Who is staying? Alison. Definitely fair.
Nuggets win.
If you missed last night's performance, by the way, here's video of Adam Lambert's take on "Ring of Fire." Seems a bit like what might happen if Queen covered the tune and absolutely nothing like Jeff Buckley, as Randy suggested.
Now, finally, we find out who is going home. In theory. The judges have just thrown a kind of cruel safety net to the two contestants by admitting that one of them would be worth saving. If the other gets chosen, there will be a moment of hope followed by a sense of crushing rejection for the loser.
The loser tonight is Alexis Grace-- which I called yesterday. But will the judges save her? I hope so and the judges are giving her one last chance to sing for life.
The judges save their save for another time. Poor kid is going home which is a shame since Motown week could have been damned good for her.
Update: Dig Mr. Lady's take.

Social Transformations and Sociology of Development
For thousands of years, the social interaction of Chinese traditional farming civilization has been organized by "guanxi" which has a profound impact on the logical configuration of rural community resources in the contemporary era. The present study is about the development of rural social relations. The research traces the different stages of development by considering policy interventions like the transformation of land tenure systems, rural economic and social systems as the driving source based on theoretical study of "guanxi" combined with changes in the social development of rural transformation. The study analyzes characteristics of each stage and the impact of transformation, and proposes what constitutes the dynamic characteristics of rural relations and social capitalization in the new era. Based on the characteristic elements of new era's rural social development and combined with the operational characteristics of rural social capitalization and rural development dilemma, the study constructs a cognitive framework for understanding the development of rural society in the new era.
