Some signs are pointing to the Giants replacing defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan with Dick Jauron.
It took a while but the New York Mets finally signed one of the big names on this years free agent market. Outfielder Jason Bay agrees to terms with the Mets.
The Rutgers men's basketball team held it's own against North Carolina, staying in the game until the final buzzer.
The Giants and Jets appear to be moving in completely different directions. Which New York team is falling and which is rising?
Looking back at the 2009 Rutgers football season. It was one that had its ups and downs, but yet another bowl win.
Yankees fans will be hesitant to get excited about this trade as Javier Vazquez is returning the the team. Melky Cabrera has been traded to Atlanta.
Don Bosco Prep has finished the 2009 high school football season as the #1 ranked team in the high school.
The Steelers have slightly helped the Giants playoff hopes by defeating the Green Bay Packers.
Double G Sports Expert Panel has come up with their NFL Power Rankings for Week 15. Who deserves the top spot?
One spot in the Yankees lineup remains open. Who do you think should get the majority of the at bats from the DH spot?

Authorities in North Korea executed three underground church leaders last May, according to a recently leaked news report.
The Voice of the Martyrs Canada reported that police raided a home in Pyongan province where 23 Christians had gathered together. They arrested 20 believers and put their leaders to death. North Korea harshly persecutes Christians and believers are forced to worship in secret.
U.N. Appeal for Crimes Against Humanity
Christian Solidarity Worldwide, a human rights group, has appealed to Europe's foreign ministers to support a United Nations inquiry into crimes against humanity committed by the communist nation.
"The regime in North Korea is committing the most barbaric violations of human rights and it is time that the U.N. General Assembly took meaningful action to prevent the continuing suffering of the North Korean people," CSW's National Director Stuart Windsor told Christianity Today.
"A Commission of Inquiry to investigate crimes against humanity is an essential step towards justice and an end to impunity, and we urge the EU to support this recommendation and work proactively to achieve it," he said.
Meanwhile, the Voice of the Martyrs is urging prayer for believers in North Korea "who follow Jesus at great risk."
"May they have opportunities to meet together and provide encouragement to one another," the group said.

P. R. Christensen (ASU)
The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) onboard Mars Odyssey began studying the surface and atmosphere of Mars in February 2002 using thermal infrared (IR) multi-spectral imaging between 6.5 and 15 Ám, and visible/near-IR images from 450 to 850 nm. Regional-scale infrared mapping shows that Mars has both regional and local geologic units delineated by their thermophysical properties. In Meridiani Planum these units imply a complex history involving changes in the nature of volcanic units, the environment of deposition of sedimentary units, and/or the degree of lithification or cementation of initially unconsolidated units. Mars has km-scale exposures of bedrock, and rocky surfaces are commonly observed on slopes and scarps, demonstrating that the production or exposure rate of rock locally exceeds the rate of rock burial or breakdown. In places, thermally distinct ejecta deposits with a wide range of thermophysical properties are observed around craters of varying sizes. This variation in the preservation of the infrared signature of crater ejecta may be associated with crater age. Where large fields of sand dunes occur, the dunes are typically coarser-grained than the interdune surfaces, suggesting that finer-grained material is accumulating where active sand motion may be limited. Surfaces known to be mantled by air-fall dust, such as the Tharsis and Arabia provinces, also appear completely mantled at THEMIS 100-m per pixel resolution. THEMIS multi-spectral infrared observations show significant potential for compositional mapping at 100-m scales, as demonstrated by the identification of olivine-rich basaltic units on the floor of Ganges Chasma. Polar observations have confirmed the presence of CO2 slab ice and the presence of H2O exposed at the surface of the south polar summer cap. The visible imager also has obtained information on the color properties of the surface and of atmospheric aerosols at the highest spatial resolution yet obtained from Mars orbit.
This work was supported by the NASA Mars Odyssey Flight Project.

'Venkatadri Express' Hit, Chota K. Naidu Calls it Team Effort
By IANS - CHENNAI
Published: 03rd December 2013 01:58 PM
Last Updated: 03rd December 2013 01:58 PM
Cinematographer Chota K. Naidu's mobile phone hasn't stopped ringing since the release of his nephew Sundeep Kishan's Telugu comedy "Venkatadri Express". The film has received overwhelming response and he gives credit to the entire team.
Naidu handled the camera for the film that came out Friday.
"I have never received so many calls for my own work as a cinematographer. But the number of calls and congratulatory messages I received for 'Venkatadri Express' has been incredible. My phone hasn't stopped ringing in the last two days," Naidu told IANS.
He added that people are not only praising Sundeep's work, but the film on the whole.
Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, the film also features Rakul Preet Singh, Nagineedu, Brahmaji, Tagubothu Ramesh, M.S Narayana and Jayaprakash Reddy.
"From Sundeep to character artists such as Brahmaji and Nagineedu are being appreciated for their efforts. It has been a team effort and it's time to celebrate. It has been declared a hit and I am very happy about it," said Naidu.
Reportedly made on a budget of Rs.7 crore, the film has already minted Rs.3.2 crore in Andhra Pradesh in its opening weekend.
"This is Sundeep's big budget film ever and it has got an impressive opening. In its first three days in Andhra Pradesh, the film has raked in Rs.3.2 crore," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.

Color depth refers to the number of unique colors that a sensor can faithfully capture. Cameras with better color depth will demonstrate smoother transitions from one color to the next, and avoid "banding" in areas with subtle shading. (Blue skies are an example of where you might see color banding.)
More color depth is generally better, but you'll struggle to notice a difference between two cameras with less than 1 bit of difference. Color depth above 22 bits is considered excellent.

Maximum effective ISO is an estimate of the highest sensitivity at which a camera can capture excellent quality photos.
Cameras with higher effective ISO will be better choices for indoor photography, night shooting, and indoor sports photography, especially if you intend to make large prints.

Cameras with more dynamic range allow you to take photos with dramatic differences in highlight and shadow areas while retaining detail in both.
Think of a brilliant sunset on a rocky beach: Bright sunset in the background, with dark rocks in the foreground. High dynamic range means more of the extremes will be faithfully reproduced.

There was a point two years ago when Lance Stephenson was near the top of the list of athletes Miami hated. Then there was a point last year when the Heat looked into acquiring him.
That …

A bizarre and contentious Eastern Conference Finals ended Friday with the Heat pounding Indiana 117-92 in Game 6 at AmericanAirlines Arena. Miami moves on to its fourth straight NBA Finals and awaits the Spurs or Thunder.
1:32 pm May. 28, 2014
Miami is in full control of the Eastern Conference Finals and would have to undergo a shocking collapse to blow its 3-1 lead. The real question seems to be how long it will take the Heat to finish Indiana.
They can wrap that up in Game 5 tonight (8:30 p.m, ESPN) and move on to their fourth straight NBA Finals. If they do so, they will get a full seven days …

Lance Stephenson is welcome to talk all he wants.
Dwyane Wade will hear most of it, but does not care. Stephenson took aim at Wade's health when talking Saturday and said he wants to make Wade chase him around to get his knee to "flare up."

Thanks - it's good to know that there are horrors in RFC 2396 which I have been lucky enough not to encounter (yet). RFC 2396 is a remarkable document. Holy writ and hellish mess all wrapped into one package. Separating the two is difficult, both in theory and in practice. I've stopped using the term "URI" except in cases where it is purely an identifier - namespaces and RDF are the only two places I know of where that usage feels comfortable. Otherwise I'm back to URLs. ------------- Simon St.Laurent - SSL is my TLA http://simonstl.com may be my URI http://monasticxml.org may be my ascetic URI urn:oid:126.96.36.199.4.1.6320 is another possibility altogether

Today is a day that Lavonte David and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would like to forget. Week 1 of their fresh season is in the books; and if the books had a box labeled "ugly," it would be checked off. The Bucs started the game as if they were stuck in the preseason.
During their first six-play possession, they were flagged three times. On their second possession, quarterback Josh Freeman fumbled and was forced to kick the ball out of the end zone, resulting in a safety. Their third possession was a three-and-out.
From there on, besides an interception from Freeman, the Bucs seemed to have most of the momentum. Their defense forced two turnovers from the New York Jets' rookie quarterback Geno Smith, and it appeared that Josh Freeman was going to have another come from behind win added to his resume. But then, with 38 seconds left, Smith drove his team to midfield. With under 20 seconds remaining, and still out of kicker Nick Folk's range, Smith scrambled out of the pocket and picked up as many yards as possible in hope of entering field goal range. As Smith made his way out of bounds in order to stop the clock, he was shoved late by Lavonte David resulting in a fifteen yard penalty. This put the Jets into field goal range, and Folk did what he was paid to do and drilled the 48-yard field goal with two seconds reaming.
As David made his way to the sideline with his head hanging, he was met by defensive assistant Bryan Cox. Cox consoled David and lifted David's head up as it was seemingly drawn to the ground. Football is a team game, and if one thing is certain it is that David is not the sole reason why the Bucs lost the game. The team simply did not play to its potential, and it has a lot of it. If the Bucs start playing at a high level, they could make a serious run this season. They have that much talent. Football has proven time and time again that an elite quarterback is not a necessary catalyst to make a run at the Super Bowl (see Mark Sanchez, Rex Grossman, Trent Dilfer). If the defense is stingy enough and the running game is there, it is possible.
So, by that equation, as long as Freeman protects the ball and the defense eliminates mental mistakes, there is no reason why Tampa Bay cannot make some noise in the ostensibly wide open NFC. In the back field they have a stud running back in Doug Martin who was fourth in the league in all-purpose yards last year. On the right side of the field they have Vincent Jackson who lead the league in yards per catch with 19.2 last year, and on the left side, a solid number two receiver who was four yards shy of 1,000 last year in Mike Williams.
On the other side of the ball, the Bucs look scary. Last year the Bucs were the number one rush defense in the league, and, minus 47 yards rushing from Smith, they looked just as stout today. But where they needed to improve on from last year was their pass defense. Tampa Bay was ranked last in pass defense, but used the off season to rectify the problem. They traded for All-Pro cornerback Darrell Revis, who looked like his old self in limited action today. They stole All-Pro Dashon Goldson from the San Franciso 49ers and signed him to a five-year deal. Goldson had seven tackles and three bone crushing hits today (two of which hell will get a call from the league about). Then they drafted cornerback Johnathan Banks out of Mississippi State in the second-round who contributed three tackles today. Smith nor any of the Jets' running backs picked apart the defense. A safety, several drive prolonging penalties, and an interception propelled the Jets to their 18 points. So do not lose hope in them just yet.
The pieces are there. The window of opportunity is there. Now it is up to the players and coaches to lift themselves up, dust themselves off, and get back after it. They definitely have a long week of practice ahead of them, but they will have an even longer season ahead of them if they do not build off of this loss and come out strong against the New Orleans Saints next week.

The first two notable goals on the list for the Goose Creek Lady Gators basketball team every season are behind them now.
The Lady Gators eclipsed the 20-win mark and locked up the Region 7-AAAA championship with a 53-27 victory over Wando on Friday night at GCHS.
Next (goal) is we hope we get a shot to go to Florence (Lower State) and then maybe on to Columbia (state) Baldwin said.
Baldwins team jumped out to a 15-0 lead after a period and coasted to their 21st win in 23 games. They are 7-0 in region play.
Freshman forward Ericka Broughton scored a game-high 24 points while freshman guard Mariah Linney added 11 points.
Senior Shakeia Joy and sophomore Shakayia Wilson led the rebounding effort with nine boards apiece. Senior center Semoine Frasier added seven points and seven rebounds.
I think were starting to play pretty good, especially in the post area, Baldwin said. Once we get those girls established, it opens up our shooters. We get some tough defense going full court and it just repeats itself. As long as we play at that level, weve got a shot.
The Lady Gators were set to end the region slate on Tuesday at Cane Bay.
The playoffs begin Feb. 18
On the season, Linney (11.3), Broughton (9.6), Joy (9.6), Frasier (8.8) and senior guard Alex Ludwig (8.2) are the top scorers.
Joy (7.3) and Broughton (7.0) are the top rebounders. Linney leads in assists (4.7) and steals (4.3).

Westminster College Transforms into America's First Highway at Annual Fund Raiser
Salt Lake City-July 30, 2003-Put the top down and feel the wind in your hair at the annual summer event fund raiser at Westminster College. This fun summer tradition is not just an exciting event, it also helps provide scholarships to more than 80 percent of Westminster College students. Unique decor and collectible Corvettes will transform the campus into the nostalgic world of national sites, roadside diners, and the open road that characterized America's first highway.
Route 66 will be the place to pull over this summer. While strolling from Chicago- to L.A.-themed tents, guests can enjoy sipping chocolate shakes and bid on unique and valuable auction items, including vacation packages, autographed sports memorabilia, furniture, jewelry, art, and event ticket packages. The event will also feature a performance at Amarillo Junction by contemporary country music artist, Ty Herndon.
As a private institution, Westminster College relies upon the support of individuals, corporations, and foundations to meet the growing costs of providing a quality education. The annual summer event provides an excellent opportunity for members of the community to make an investment in students who can make a significant difference in the world through the knowledge and experience they gain at Westminster College.
Westminster's Route 66 takes place Saturday, August 2, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the college's Dane Hansen Memorial Stadium on the west side of campus, 1840 South 1300 East. Tickets are $150 each, and the event is expected to sell out, once again, at 1,500 people. For additional information on how you can motor west, contact Westminster College at 832-2747 or visit www.westminstercollege.edu.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Fifty-three people were killed in Alabama fires in the first three months of 2014, putting the state near the top nationwide in deadly blazes.
Of the state's 67 counties, Jefferson County recorded the highest toll at 13, with eight of those in the city of Birmingham. [State fire marshal's list of fatalities]
"This is an alarming number of fire fatalities considering we have annually averaged eight or less over the past 10 years,'' said Birmingham Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief C.W. Mardis. "Most were using heating sources attempting to stay warm."
State officials are equally concerned. "Last year there were 81 for the year,'' said Alabama State Fire Marshal Ed Paulk. "It's not comparing real well."
Across Alabama, there were 28 fire deaths in January alone. That was a dramatic rise from 17 in January 2013. "That was a big jump,'' Paulk said. "We went the first five days of the year without a fire fatality and there is usually one on New Year's. My hopes were up."
The National Fire Sprinkler Association ranks Alabama fourth in the U.S. for deadly fires in 2014, and that is with numbers less than actually recorded. The group puts the state behind only New York, Texas and Pennsylvania. The U.S. Fire Administration placed Alabama the third-highest risk for fire deaths per capita in 2010, again behind New York and Texas.
Fire deaths this year have happened in 23 of the state's counties. In March, a 2-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl were killed in a Decatur apartment fire. In Winston County, an elderly couple died in a fire at their mobile home in January. An 11-year-old girl died in a mobile home fire in Leeds in February. A 90-year-old woman perished in a Montgomery fire in February. In Jefferson County, two sisters were killed in Center Point in January, and in Birmingham a father and adult son were killed when fire ravaged their home in the southwest part of the city, also in January. The list goes on.
In addition to the 13 deaths in Jefferson, there were four each in Tallapoosa and Marshall. Mobile, Limestone and Cullman record three each, followed by two each in Morgan, Tuscaloosa, Blount, Madison and Cleburne counties. There was one death each in Etowah, Lee, Baldwin, Shelby, Montgomery, Colbert, Barbour, Franklin, Washington, Winston, Dale and Geneva counties. The county of one of the victim's wasn't immediately available.
The 54th fatal fire of 2014 was reported Wednesday in Gadsden. Another person died as a result of fire overnight in southwest Alabama. That fire happened in Prichard in Mobile County, but few details were immediately available today.
|Fire deaths in Alabama
|*As of March 2014
Alabama usually averages 70 to 90 fire deaths a year.
Of the 53 fire deaths thus far this year, six of them were homicides. The rest, however, were preventable accidents, Paulk said. "Each and every one could have been prevented,'' he said. "It goes back to a person's decision, and people made bad decisions during the cold spell."
Misuse of many household items is partly to blame for the spike. Stoves and ovens, authorities said, should never be used as a heating source for a home. When an oven door is left open, it will heat combustibles around it to the ignition point.
Space heaters are also a hazard, especially when used incorrectly. They should always be kept away from flammable materials, and should never be left on overnight. Humans and pets could knock them over during the night, or accidentally kick things close to them that could catch fire.
Extension cords and multi-outlet power strips are often overloaded, and therefore problematic. "We use all of these things day in and day out, and we lose sight of the fact that they are dangerous,'' Paulk said.
Cold weather isn't always the culprit. For example, in 2011 there were 28 fire deaths statewide in April through June. "We continue to make bad decisions in the summertime,'' the fire marshal said. "Each season has its challenges in the fire service."
Firefighters, Paulk said, respond to tragic events. "We usually can't determine the outcome," he said. "It's often decided before we get there."
Fires spread quickly. By the time someone is alerted to a fire, it's probably been burning for a while. Once they get up, get oriented and call 911, more time has gone by. Then, firefighters have an average response time of a mile a minute. "You have precious little time to get out,'' he said. "And it's much bigger than it was when it was first discovered.
Education is the key. Birmingham, for example, averaged 14 fire deaths a year until it started its ongoing "Get Alarmed" campaign which provides free smoke alarms to Birmingham residents. "We have cut those numbers almost in half," Mardis said.
Paulk said he's met with fire chiefs from around the state. They are working on more initiatives to get the word out. "If people don't start making good decisions,'' he said, "We're going to continue to rack up numbers that are scary."

Summary of Written Public Comments – Trout Summit 2002
Recognizing that insufficient time was available to discuss issues of interest to staff, participants were provided five questions in the registration packet so they might provide written comments via a drop-off box at the Trout Summit. Some 40 participants provided comments. In addition, commentary was received via the "parking lot" and "fish bowl" and will be covered later in this report.
Currently, the Commission generally only announces the week of inseason trout stocking; however, we have announced the date of Saturday lake stockings and some streams in public ownership. What information should the Commission provide to anglers about inseason trout stocking?
Responses were organized into several groups.
Additional thoughts:
- Provide numbers stocked only.
- Give dates for all public waters only
- Give dates for Saturday lakes only
- Announce stocking by month instead of week or day.
- Need to better educate anglers to "wean" them off the follow the truck mentality
The state's trout hatcheries are limited in the pounds of trout they can produce. Hatcheries can produce more small fish or fewer large fish and remain within water quality and flow related production caps. What balance should the Commission strike between the number of trout stocked and the size of trout stocked?
Additional Comments:
- Stock at least one trophy trout or "Salter" trout for each stream.
- Stock fewer larger fish except in urban areas
- Medium size fish are okay
- Stock by pounds instead of numbers
- Use All-Tackle Delayed Harvest regulations to encourage recycling of stocked trout.
As a result of outstanding volunteer efforts, Pennsylvania cooperative nurseries currently stock about 1 million adult trout each year in various waters. Looking toward the future, what are your ideas about the role of cooperative nurseries and your suggestions for how cooperative nursery efforts should factor into the state's trout stocking programs?
Additional Comments:
- Coops can be used to vary the size distribution of fish stocked
- Will DEP be targeting their discharges?
- Do not use coop fish for derbies and rodeos
*Please name 4 streams in Pennsylvania where you fish and have desirable wild trout fishing.
1. *There were 80 different streams mentioned.
A. There were 60 streams mentioned only once.
a. 52 (87%) are located in the northcentral, northeast or southcentral PA.
b. 8 (13%) are located in other regions of the state.
c. 34 (57%) are managed as Class A or B wild trout populations.
d. 19 (32%) of the waters mentioned are stocked.
B. *There were 20 streams mentioned two or more times.
a. All were located in the northcentral, northeast or southcentral PA.
b. 15 (75%) are managed as Class A or B wild trout populations.
c. 9 (45%) are managed under special regulations.
d. 12 (60%) were stocked waters.
* The utility of this question is hampered by incomplete responses. For example, in some cases only the stream name was mentioned and a specific area of the stream was not given. Thus, it was impossible to determine the management thereof.
Using your own fishing experiences, how many trout would you expect to catch and what size trout would you expect to catch per fishing trip to consider it a long-term, rewarding sport-fishing experience?

Additional Comments:
- Many responses seemed to think this question related only to wild trout
- Some said they preferred to eat panfish over trout
- A majority said they do not use numbers caught and harvested as a sole measure of their satisfaction. Numerous other factors were mentioned.
- Many said the numbers and sizes expected would vary based on the water fished, stream conditions, and species.
- One response said he has no expectations when he goes fishing.
Fish Bowl and Parking Lot Comments and Questions
Trout Summit 2002 participants were provided two other opportunities to offer comments. The "parking lot" approach was intended for mentioning topics/issues that may have been somewhat distant or off the subject being discussed by a focus group. The intent being to include the topic in further discussions or at least have staff address the question later. The four questions/comments regardless of the focus group discussion topic were as follows:
Discuss opportunity for young anglers to catch, kill and eat fish.
Does termination of stocking hurt access (do property owners post)?
Does the removal of rural streams from the stocking program hurt license sales?
What are they (anglers) willing to pay (for stocked trout)?
The "fish bowl" was an opportunity for participants to provide a note on an issue they felt was not thoroughly discussed, an idea that came to mind after the session, or simply to offer a comment on things in general. Some did not clarify the focus group question or issue at hand. The six fish bowl messages were as follows:
Lower quality streams in certain areas
Adjust delayed harvest to allow earlier harvest and reduced numbers
Promote other fish to take focus away from trout
Cooperate with clubs/cooperative nurseries on stocking to disperse trout
Decrease PFBC costs by clubs picking up and distributing trout
Delayed harvest stocking may be inappropriate because of impacts on wild trout populations.
Acknowledgement and Appreciation
Fisheries Technician Bob Weber is to be commended for the tough job of deciphering handwriting and grouping responses to the five questions.

Fans always wonder if the players actually hear what they're shouting in the stands. Well according to Derrick Brassard, they do.
In this fan taken video of Brassard's goal last night, you can distinctly hear the crowd yelling shoot seconds before he releases the shot…
You have to assume Brassard was going to shoot and that was just a coincidence, right? Maybe not as Brassard said this about the fans' encouragement after the game (via Newsday)…
"The crowd was chanting 'shoot the puck.' I was going to [pass it] back to John, but I decided to shoot . . . You never know. You put the puck on net and good things happen."
…got to admit, I'm shocked to hear this. The Garden crowd is notorious for yelling "SHOOT!!!!" during the game, even if the Rangers have the puck behind the net, so I find it fascinating that Brassard actually was influenced by the chant.
…the MSG crowd has been credited for inspiring the Rangers to victory through their energy and passion, but this is the first time I can remember them having a direct impact on a player's actions. Amazing.
…and how about this Brassard guy? I think he's a keeper. Not sure where the Rangers would be without him. Actually, I do know, on the golf course.
Here's Brassard after the game…

Feb 2016 - $20.00
We returned to this campground so we could ride our trikes on the Longleaf Trace. Not much has changed since our last visit, except that the pleasant and helpful owner and his son are now raising goats, so campers can expect to see plenty of goats, horses, miniature horses, and a braying donkey. Unless one is animal-phobic, they are a lot of fun; bring old bread for treats. The beagles have moved down the road. The sites are tight and a couple of them were damp after the recent rains. We have not seen another camper when we were there, and odds are you would be the only one when visiting. FHU included in rate shown. Some of the cable TV wires have pulled out of their jacks, so there was no cable but OTA reception was good. Good cell and data coverage. Any time we're in the area and want to ride the trace, we'll stay here. - Jay Rutherford
Jul 2013 - $20.00
A small private campground providing stable services for equestrian activities and bicycling along the 46 mile long Longleaf Trace Rail Trail. Owner is quite friendly and knowledgeable about the area and Longleaf Trace. Campground consists of five sites dedicated to RVing, and four sites for tents. Each of the five RV sites is FHU. Utilities worked fine. RV sites are grassy and tent sites are gravel. We had to use one set of levelers on the utility side of the camper. Access is snug in sites 3-5 due to small back-in turning radii. I believe a large trailer, fifth wheeler, and motor home could maneuver only into site 1 or site 2. Owner said he rarely gets more than three RVs at a time. Quiet. About two blocks off of MS 52. There are some friendly horses there, but if you are a kid and not bicycling with parents on the Trace, there is really nothing to do. There was a healthy population of non-biting black ants. A scout had found its way in by the next afternoon. Check-out time was whenever, in other words, enjoy life. Cash only. CSpire phone service was 5 bars and 3G. DTV had all five networks and independents, excellent over the air signals. CATV connect was on the water post, but it had no signal. No Wi-Fi, so we used our phones. For bicycling, the Longleaf Trace is one of the nicest trails in the South. We rode from Bassfield to Prentiss and back in July! Lots of water stops on the Trace. We would definitely return to this campground to serve as a base camp for riding the remainder of the Trace. - The Happy Traveler
Jan 2013 - $23.00
We stayed here for two nights so I could ride my bicycle on the Longleaf Trace, a 41 mile, paved, world class bike trail. The owner is on the board of the trace and was very friendly and helpful. There are 5 back-in sites on a horse farm with full hookups including cable. Electric service is 20, 30, and 50 amp. There are 4 other sites with water and 20 amp electric, plus tent sites on the property. There are horses nearby plus a bunch of beagles that, when set off, raise an amazing cacophony. The rate for full hookups was $22.50 per night. Narrow streets might dissuade large rigs from staying here. Bassfield is a tiny community with one restaurant and one fast food place. We found the location particularly good for the trace and would definitely stay here again if in the area. - Jay Rutherford

Nice quiet park. Owners are exceptionally nice. Go out of there way to help you. Pretty ponds. Nice sites. Very quiet. Was traveling through for only one night was a little out of our way, but was worth it. - Beverly McConnell
Jan 2016 - $26.00
PROS - The ponds make a nice setting. The clubhouse in its day must have been really nice, love the large stone fireplace.
CONS - Older campground in need of repairs. Dirt roads dusty with a lot of potholes, low water pressure we only had 35 psi, filled our water tank and ran with the water pump. No cable, but they will rent you a Dish, no Wi-Fi. On the site we had the 50 amp and the voltage was too high and would trip our surge protector so we ran on propane.
WOULD WE STAY HERE AGAIN? No - Traveler II
Oct 2015 - $14.00
About two mile drive from highway to park on a narrow road, final part of drive was very dusty, this means it could be muddy after a rain. With that said, PA rate of 14.00 was a good deal, staff was friendly, sites were grass/gravel and fairly level. We did not use any of their facilities. Their utilities were good and wifi was ok. A good place for an overnight stay. - jlc

This is an old run down campground with lots of full timers. Most units are not well maintained. It works for a quick overnight but I think we will look elsewhere when we travel through again. Didn't check the restrooms / showers. Utilities worked as they should. - MovinOnDownTheRoad
Feb 2014 - $25.00
Good access. Quiet and shady. A little soggy in some areas due to recent then overnight rain. Pet friendly. Nice people. Wifi worked. I would stay here again. My only real complaint is that they are too close to the Watermelon patch shoe store right up the road. Yes, we had to go by there the next morning so the wife could buy 3 pairs of sandals. We would still be there if I hadn't stopped her at 3. - GrumpyJoe
Dec 2012 - $33.00
Old run down facilities. No one was in the office even though we were checking in during the posted office hours. The sites were okay, and it was like camping in an open field with hookups. There was something wrong with the electrical connection as it fried our 30 to 50 amp adapter. We were just stopping for the night or we would have found someplace else. We would not have felt comfortable leaving the motorhome unattended at this campground. We would not recommend this campground to anyone and would not stay here again. - Patsypoo02

Jul 2012 - $26.00
The owner was very friendly and accommodating. There is no cable TV and very few spots where a satellite would get a signal. She placed us in a spot where we could get a signal and also near the building where the Wi-Fi router was located. The Wi-Fi signal was weak and kept dropping off. This is truly a campground, not an RV park. There were a few pull-throughs, which are short, and you would still have to unhook. Roads are very narrow, with small branches hanging down. I said all of this as information, not complaining. It is a nice little campground for a family outing. - phaeton31808

We stayed here Thursday through Sunday. The staff was very friendly and accommodating as they changed our reservation as requested to arrive a day early and also due to weather (rain), they moved us to a dryer site. As stated, the weather was very bad and we had to stay inside most of the time. This park does hold water and could use some gravel to freshen things up and help keep water from pooling at the campsites. This did not detract from the overall quality of this campground. We will return and look forward to spending some time here during better weather. - RNLCOOKIE

This campground was just plain fun. The sites are gravel and tend to get swampy in the rain. There are trees everywhere and the river front sites are definitely river front sites. We had lovely views from our coach. The sites are wide. There is a fishing pond, a great pool, clubhouse, bathhouse and one can access the river by going down the staircase in the rear of the grounds. There are some woody trails to explore with the kids and the staff is friendly. Many folks have their golf carts with them, pets are welcome and kids are having fun all over. Some folks are there full time, but not on the river front. It is a bit rustic and natural. We did not have DirectTV yet, and I noticed most people have stand alone satellite dishes. Be careful to turn left when exiting the CG; otherwise you will end up in a brick yard! I really liked this spot and only give it a 7 because of its rustic atmosphere which may not be to the likeing of some RVr's, and because it gets so messy when wet. If I recall correctly, there is 30 amp at each site. I will go back often because it is so laid back and natural. We were able to park a 42' MH on the river, although not many of those sites will allow it. - Iris

This rustic public park is located about four or so country miles off of US 49. Well marked on US 49, smaller signs lead to the park. Roads are narrow and some turns can be sharp, thus my questionable review on big rig access. However, there is little traffic, and there were 5ths in the park. We arrived late, set up in the dark. Morning light revealed an open lawn pine tree setting near a lake. Apparently, all sites are FHU. Utilities were fine. PVC sewer connects come out of the ground at a 30 degree angle, making the connect with the hose at risk of causing a spill. Site pads were chopped up by a ditch witch when electrical was upgraded, leaving unpaved trenches across the pad. Not all sites were level by any means, some had steep dropoffs to the picnic table. Primitive dump station was a PVC pipe, a screw on cap, and a potable hose connect about 20 feet away with no hose, all on bare ground. Never saw that before. Bath house doors propped open all night with the lights on, which attracted a large number of mid-summer insects, thus the unclean bathroom rating. Small, insignificant swing set for kids. An off road bicycle trail is available. CSpire phone was 4 bar 3G. DTV scanning picked up 40 channels. Manager was met at the entry gate in the morning, friendly fellow. Only 5 campers in the park, including us. Appears to be primarily a weekend local fishing spot. Overall, a very rustic feel with some significant site upgrades needed to the pavement and leveling. The high ratings by previous reviewers drew us to the park, but I can rank this CG barely average with a 4 compared to other high scoring locations. This is no 8-10. When in the area again, we would opt for someplace else, probably over to Bassfield. - The Happy Traveler

This park is five miles off of 49. It is very quiet and peaceful with 28 sites. They have just finished up grading the electrical system. Lots of trees and plenty of space between sites. The pads are blacktop, some do need attention. They are in the middle of adding more sewer hook ups, so all most all site now have this. The road in can be narrow at times, but passable. The park people we dealt with were first class. This park is not used a lot, seems lost to the traveling RV'er. We were here this Labor day week end and there were only three of us in the entire park. The bad is we had no cell service, but that was good in a way. We will be back. Should have wonderful fall colors and spring colors here. - Frank Henn

We loved this quiet, rural County (or State, not sure which) Park. The price quoted was based on Passport America rate. This park also had laundry facilities, which is rare in municipal parks (we've found). Lovely walking trails and a lovely huge large. The only negative was we were not able to get satellite reception because of all the gorgeous trees. We would most definitely return here. - tpw0607

This park is one of a number in the Pat Harrison Water Park system. The park offers full services and has large sites with either paved or concrete pads as well as fire pits and barbecue stands. They offer PA reductions on certain days as well as senior discounts. A nice quite getaway. We would stay again if in the area. - lrp374
Oct 2007 - $8.00
Paid Passport America rate of $8.25 for first 3 nights and $15 (senior) for 4th night. Park has two RV areas and is part of the Pat Harrison Water District which runs about 9 "water parks". The sites with the higher numbers has been recently updated, all new pavement, sites and roads. 50 amp service with sewer. Nice quiet park very much like a COE park, big roomy sites with plenty of space between them. The only one downfall we had was a bunch of small ants that must have gotten disturbed. They were all over the RV and we did not have ant spray with us. Other than that we had a good time. - Bob and Inga

Featured Golf News
Making of a Masterpiece . . . Well, Two
When Minneapolis-based mining company Mosaic began thinking about what they could do with the tens of thousands of acres in central Florida they had mined for phosphate since the 1960s, one of the ideas mentioned was to build a new town from scratch.
Streamsong Blue No. 18
(Photo © Larry Lambrecht
Rick Mack had what he thought was a better plan, however. The company's executive vice president and general counsel, and a keen golfer who preferred old-school designs over Florida's typical golfing fare, Mack wondered if a golf resort with 36 holes designed by Tom Doak and Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw could work. He knew he had the site to do it, but he also knew the designers might take some convincing.
As Coore says, the last thing Florida needed was another golf course.
Fate, and a very persuasive Rich Mack, determined it would happen though, and golfers throughout America - the world even - should be very pleased it did. Doak and Coore may have built courses at the same location before (Bandon Dunes, and Barnbougle Dunes in Tasmania), but they never built them at the same location at the same time.
Who's to say if that will ever happen again?
Three months after Streamsong Resort opened, I asked Doak and Coore (at different times) to talk about the project - their initial reactions to the very idea of working in central Florida, how they thought it all played out, and how they feel about their courses now they're open for play. Here is that Q&A.
4-1-13-The 16th at Streamsong Red
(Photo © Larry Lambrecht)
Can you describe your initial reaction to Rich Mack's call asking you to build a course in Florida?
Tom Doak: Actually, a consultant hired by Mosaic called me to begin with.
Bill Coore: Central Florida wouldn't be my first-choice location. It didn't sound promising. But I was thinking I'm happy to listen, and happy to have this conversation, but I really don't think it's going to work. So many potentially good developments never get off the ground because the financing can't be found, but I knew that Mosaic were in a position to make Streamsong happen. They also asked if we would have any problems working alongside, or simultaneously, with another design company. We said we really wouldn't, but asked who they were thinking about. When they mentioned Tom I said unequivocally that there was no problem. We respect each other tremendously. We actually have different styles, but I knew we could work with Tom and his crew if that's what Mosaic chose.
What enticed you to go and see the site?
TD: I asked who else they were talking to, and the guy on the phone named several architects, but he said that the Mosaic people had asked specifically to talk to me and to Bill and Ben, which meant to me that they had a certain kind of course in mind.
BC: In a word: sand. When someone mentions "sand" and "dunes" in the same sentence it certainly gets your interest.
How surprised were you when you saw the site?
TD: If I didn't know where I was and someone had asked me which state I was in, Florida would have been about my 47th guess. We actually visited a few sites the first day, one that had already been reclaimed (where the lodge is being built today), a freshly-mined site (which would have taken a lot of patience to put back together), and lastly, the site we built on. I was amazed when I saw the scale of the dunes and the amount of vegetation which had re-colonized the site. Most of it looked like natural dunes, although there were a few features that were just too sharp to be natural.
BC: Well, like I say, my expectations as I approached the site were not good. But Mosaic had 16,000 acres out there and three potential sites for the golf course. The first looked like the Badlands. It was just too rugged. The second I called the "Old Lands." It was all mined out so there were some elevation changes, and a lot of vegetation had grown since they stopped mining it. It was quite interesting. It would have needed a lot of work but it was possible to build a course there. The third is what I called the "Sand Hills" site and where we eventually ended up building. There were dunes and lakes - a combination that I had never seen before.
No. 7 at Streamsong Blue

Do you remember your first conversations about the project with Bill/Ben (Tom) and Ben (Bill)? What sort of things did you discuss?
TD: At that point, Mosaic was thinking of building the courses on two of the different sites we'd looked at, and Bill's first take was that the great site wasn't big enough for 36 holes. I thought it was, but I'd been given an older map which was made before some of the site had been reclaimed. When we got together in Florida, we discovered the error on the map, but we still agreed to work on trying to fit 36 holes on the current site. We were both very interested in the idea of having our crews work side by side on the project.
BC: I remember talking to Ben on the phone and saying you are not going to believe this place. It is truly amazing, not like anywhere we have designed courses before. I mean it had a bit of everything - Bandon Dunes, Sand Hills, Prairie Dunes, Friars Head. And yet it wasn't exactly like any of them. I told him it had so much potential and that the upside far outweighed the downside.
How long did it take to decide who was going to build which course? How did you decide?
TD: It took three-four months of going back and forth to sort out the routings of the two courses, which we really did together, without regard for which of us would build which course. Neither one of us wanted to decide because we didn't want the other guy to think he got the short straw, and really, we both liked nearly all of the holes, and our favorite holes were split between the two courses. Finally, Rich Mack asked Bill to make the choice, and Bill says he took the Red course because it needed more earth work and that would give his crew something to do for a longer time.
BC: A long time. We started talking with Tom on the phone and realized pretty quickly that we needed to collaborate. We said it would have been a train wreck had we not worked together. I did an 18-hole routing on the Sand Hills site, so did Tom. But I don't think either of us was terribly pleased with what we came up with. I just knew that 18 holes on that site left too much good golfing ground. It was so wasteful. I wasn't convinced there was space on that site for 36 though, because we would need to move south from the proposed clubhouse area and there was a large lake immediately south, and Mosaic were still mining a strip of land that is now the second hole.
We knew we would have to build the two courses on a diagonal - northwest to southeast, and that they would likely cross at some point. We had a meeting with Tom and his associate Bruce Hepner and laid out the courses on a map. I think we used red and blue pins, which is how the courses got their names.
I remember Rich asked if we should just flip a coin to decide who takes which course. I said I was fine with that, Ben too. But Tom said we should think about it. We went to and fro for a while. I asked our associate Jimbo Wright which course he thought we should take and he said, matter-of-factly, the one that requires more work. Well, that was good enough for me so I went to Rich and said if it's okay with you and with Tom we'll take the Red. Rich was surprised because he knew it would be take more work to build.
Red No. 7 at Streamsong
(Photo © Larry Lambrecht)
Did you decide between yourselves, or with Rich, how different the courses would be?
TD: Rich asked us more than once how we would make the courses different, but we didn't want to limit ourselves by deciding on obvious differences (like making the greens smaller on one course, or the bunkers in a different style). We just kept assuring him the courses would have a different character, like two sisters.
BC: Ben and I discussed having Melbourne Sandbelt-type bunkers, blowout bunkers, or Scottish revetted bunkers, but in the end we agreed we didn't need to steal from any other course, we should just build the best course this site was giving us. It didn't need to resemble anything else. As I said, it is a totally unique site.
Would you just as happily have built the Red/Blue?
TD: Yes. There were a couple of holes on the Red I wasn't sure what I would have done with. Mind you, there were a couple on the Blue as well.
BC: Yes. Tom was just as surprised as Rich that we wanted to take the Red. Actually, had we known the extent of the work that was needed to build the first six holes of the Red we might have picked the Blue. I remember shortly after deciding who was taking which course, Tom and the Renaissance guys came over to our area. They saw us looking at the lake wondering what we were going to do, and Tom says "We are not switching." He was joking, but at that point I think he was pretty happy about doing the Blue.
Which were the really obvious holes, and which took a bit of finding?
TD: Bill's first 18-hole routing that he showed me (before we started on a 36-hole plan) included the seventh, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th on the Red course, and the third, fourth, fifth and sixth on the Blue course. As obvious as the seventh on the Blue course seems today, we didn't include it for a long time because getting to and from the green was such a detour. The second on the Red and the 13th on the Blue took the most amount of creative work and earthwork.
BC: There were a lot of obvious holes. We had to do virtually nothing on the seventh. The green site was just there. It reminded us of the 10th at Friar's Head. Much of the back nine just fell into place pretty easily. There were a lot of naturally interesting holes. But I actually didn't see the 16th (one of the most notable holes on the Red) straight away. Ben did. People just see things slightly differently.
Did the terrain present you with any difficulties?
TD: The only difficulty was working around the lake banks; the sand was relatively unstable because so much had been moved years ago, and we had to have a spotter watching us anytime we were anywhere close to the water, in case the ground gave way.
BC: If we had ended up building 18 holes on this particular site and 18 on another, the first six holes on the Red wouldn't exist. We had to fill in the lake on the first hole, and deal with the mine on No. 2. We used the quarried sand from No. 2 to build the dune to the right of the green. The Mosaic people were just fabulous. They helped us build that dune. We used 300,000 cubic yards of sand, but the phosphate they mined to get it more than paid for it.
How many associates did you have working with you?
TD: Bruce Hepner was my lead associate. Eric Iverson built the majority of the greens, with some help from Brian Slawnik, Brian Schneider and Mike McCartin. Mike did the majority of the bunker work.
BC: We had Keith Rhebb, Dave Axland, Jimbo Wright and Jeff Bradley.
Now it is finished and in play, how do you feel your course turned out?
TD: I'm really happy with it. I've heard some critics say it's "less strategic" than the Red course because it's so wide open, but actually, a lot of the good players I've talked to say they really have to play to the right spot in the fairway in order to get at certain hole locations. That was our goal.
BC: When they visit the course for the first time, people will wonder where these sand dunes are. It's not like approaching any course on the west coast of Ireland, or Friar's Head or Sand Hills, for instance. I liken it to Prairie Dunes actually. The first time I visited that course, I remember getting close and wondering where on Earth it could be because there certainly weren't any dunes that I could see. And then you actually arrive and discover one of the finest courses imaginable. I think Streamsong is similar. As you approach it, you're probably thinking it can't be very special.
But we're very proud of it, and have high hopes for it. It was a very daring venture for Mosaic, and it was an honor to work for them and for Rich Mack. Visitors will obviously compare it with other courses, but ultimately it's Streamsong. There's nothing like it.

Boost your bottom line by reporting new annual wellness visits correctly. If you want your annual visit claims to be picture perfect in 2011, then follow these five tips to avoid future denials and keep your physician's claim on the fast track to success.
Background: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) extended preventive coverage to more than 88 million patients covered by health insurance, and Medicare has codified that benefit in the form of an annual wellness visit. Medicare valued the new annual wellness codes based on a level 4, problem-oriented new and established E/M service.
The two new codes are:
G0438 — Annual wellness visit; includes a personalized prevention plan of service (PPPS), first visit
G0439 — Annual wellness visit; includes a personalized prevention plan of service (PPPS), subsequent visit.
Tip 1: Apply G0438 to Second Year of Coverage
Be wary of applying these codes to new Medicare patients coming in to your physician's practice in 2011. The reason is that Medicare will only reimburse the initial visit (G0438) during the second year the patient is eligible for Medicare Part B. In other words, during the first year of the patient's coverage, Medicare will only cover the Initial Preventive Physical Exam (IPPE), also known as the Welcome to Medicare exam.
Tip 2: CMS Limits G0438 to One Physician
If your FP sees the patient for the initial visit (G0438) and the patient sees a different physician for the next annual wellness visit, that second physician will only receive reimbursement for the subsequent visit (G0439), despite having never seen the patient before.
Here's why: CMS has indicated that when a patient returns to the same or new physician in a third year, they might only pay for the subsequent visit, says Melanie Witt, RN, COBGC, MA, an…

the world is your platter
I almost do not want to write a review of this place; I sort of want to keep it a ménage à trois between its secret community of patrons, Montreal, and myself. Tucked away slightly underground, Furusato requires a little sniffing out to be noticed. The tiny entranceway and even tinier signs (white A4 paper, really) announcing its name in even tinier print belie its low-profile darling status. If it isn't immediately obvious, they're very modest about it.
Tempura udon (above) was just about right for the moderate taste bud, not overwhelmingly orgasmic but subtly well controlled. Its tempura prawns were very soft, the light yellow cocoon of fried, soup-soaked flour about ready to come loose to reveal the naked body of the prawn inside.
The grilled squid (top) was grilled to a consistently thin and very fine crisp outer layer, mouth-wateringly shimmery under the warm lighting (although I confess I had waited a long time for a friend to arrive to start eating). Grilled mackerel (bottom) was also done the same way, brown skin over white flesh. Both tasted a bit hard and dry respectively, but that's where Furusato has got it right. Their modus operandi seems to be a kind of simplicity, understatement, and an understanding of the act of enjoying food, where the coming together of various components of a dish is essential to creating maximum effect. That is, before you dig in to some plain old grilled squid and mackerel, you HAVE TO juice it up with a squeeze of your lemon slice, dip a piece into the sauce that accompany the serving, and only then indulge yourself. It's like baking with salted butter and still adding salt to the recipe; the people at Furusato possess the Japanese sensibility of modesty, in food and in décor. The small restaurant is very cozy, great for a quiet dinner with a few friends or a date night. Sit on the retro orange stools at the rather neglected-looking bar and watch the chef at work, or by the window in the soft glow of a Japanese lantern. Now that we've told you about the art to eating here, go ahead, take a reservation and get your date on. Just don't spread the word too much, they're already busy enough on the weekend.
