Our office is officially closed today, but I am taking a writing vacation in exactly nine days so have lots to do!
Yes, it's true. I will be away from here for two whole weeks!
But it means I'm taking advantage to most people being off today and getting some work done.
That means you get the regularly scheduled Gin and Topics. I didn't really want to wait until next week to give you the one in the number one spot, anyway. I hope you like it as much as I do. I've watched it six times and it makes me laugh every time!
The videos this week are thanks to Heidi Massey, Lindsay Bell, Laura Click, Mr. D., and yours truly.
Let me know what you think!
5. Heavy Metal Kids. You have to watch the little girl on the right. She has some serious heavy metal talent. Watch out Gene Simmons!
4. The Social Farter. This.Is. Awesome. Just replace "farter" with "smoker" and you have a brilliant "stop smoking" campaign. It's seriously awesome.
3. Sergio Garcia Tree Hit. I wouldn't normally call golf exciting to watch. In fact, it's usually pretty boring. But this is some serious athleticism. One golfer. One tree. One hand. On the green. As a side note: The announcers are dolts.
2. Nolan Can't Say Dump Truck. I don't know why little kids accidentally saying swear words is so stinking funny, but this is hilarious! I think I almost like how he says fire truck better than how he says dump truck.
1. The Truth Fairy. Man, alive! If I had kids I would totally do stuff like this to them. I would ruin them for life. Jimmy Kimmel sets up a fake lie detector and talks to five-year-old Joelle about boys, her friends, and being nice to other kids in class. It definitely is in the top five of all videos ever made. I hope she got her gumball machine!

Best laughs I've had in a long, long time…and a lot of underlying truths in the various videos. Thanks for sharing on a *Good* Friday!
@KirkHazlett Did you like the Truth Fairy one?! So funny!
@ginidietrich @KirkHazlett Loved it, Gini. Just showed all the segments to my Mass Communication class.
If i had to guess I'd say Mr. D sent the golf one and maybe the Jimmy Kimmel and btw it is hysterical. The difference between girls and boys – the girl owns up to the fib when the lights go on and a boy probably would keep on fibbing either because they want to or because they like the lights going on – or both!!! I am going to share the don't smoke one with Mike – not that it will work – he will only quite when he wants to!
@PattiRoseKnight I love how he asks her if it feels weird and when she says no, the lights go off. So funny!
Oh my goodness….the Truth Fairy was so funny! Jimmy had better of gotten her a gumball machine.
@TaraGeissinger Is there anything you'd like to ask the Truth Fairy? I love how she turns and tells him she wants a gumball machine.
In tears over the Truth Fairy.
Oh geez, watching in reverse. Almost spit my water at the Dump Truck.
@katskrieger My SIL and I are going to do this to our nieces. I can't wait!
ginidietrich Unfortunately, procrastination is something I rarely need help with. :/ But I'll check the videos out anyway.
djgraffiti Ha!
ginidietrich That Jimmy Kimmel video is priceless!
Oh bummer, bummer, bummer! I can't watch them now – my head wants to have a migraine…it's trying, so I'm on a strict audio diet. Man, I love these posts. Emailing to myself so I remember to come back when I'm in the clear.
Two weeks – no Gini? What? What did you say?
@LisaMarieMary No Gini for TWO WEEKS! I'm curious to see how this goes!
ginidietrich That heavy metal kid makes me want to like heavy metal! So. freaking. adorable.
Truth Fairy – way too funny! Almost felt bad for the girl. LOL!!
There are a few people who I have come across that really are dump-trucks.
@rdopping LOL!!
I'm pretty sure that's GWAR on the sound system. Hilarious! The golf is pure gold (and yes, the announcers are dolts).
@belllindsay Gwarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
@belllindsay Oh look! There is the golf ball. Right there in the tree. No kidding?It's right there in the tree?
debdobson I love that one!
ginidietrich Me too. Very funny
Thanks for including the dump truck video. It's actually now on the homepage of CNN! Crazy how fast that one spread.
And the Truth Fairy? Hilarious!
@lauraclick My SIL and I have decided we're going to do the Truth Fairy to our nieces. There will be video!

Modern Warfare 2 trainer issue
Corenappa posted on Jan 18, 2013 6:22:39 PM - Report post
So, I have the unlimited account. I downloaded the trainer for MW2 after checking the version of my game. I have used several trainers already so I know my antivirus and firewall programs aren't interfering. However, when I start the MW2 trainer, it not only has trouble authenticating the trainer, but it then closes itself, then DELETES itself from the folder! I don't know what is happening and I would appreciate a solution to this problem as soon as possible. Normally I wouldn't be this worried if it just simply crashed, I'd actually just shrug and play something else, but the fact that it deletes itself worries me greatly. Thanks in advance.
Neo7 posted on Jan 18, 2013 6:50:11 PM - Report post
Just because several trainers do not trigger an AV does not mean that every trainer will. Several trainers undergo refactoring in order to get around certain forms of anti-cheating technology built into games. This drastic change in code can potentially trip an AV and what you're describing sounds exactly like an AV response to a heuristic detection. You will have to troubleshoot via disabling and even temporary uninstallation in order to ensure it is not the issue.
Your bitterness, I will dispel
Corenappa posted on Jan 18, 2013 9:29:55 PM - Report post
Thank you for that response. I checked my exception list again and found the error. Apparently, when my AV updated, it wiped my exception list. I tested a trainer to see what would happen and you were right. Thank you for your help. NOW TO PLAY MY GAMES!

Would you be upset?
Met Burt in Nov 2010, married in May 2011, pregnant in Sep 2011. It's been a crazy year and I wouldn't change a thing!
B & K est. 4/25/09
WTF? You act like you live in the 1950's! Have you been living in a cave? Ever heard of feminism or womens rights? If I was your mom, I would be ashamed of your behavior.
1. It's not his money, it's "our" money. I am a SAHM too and I work just as hard if not harder than my DH. I don't get a break. I work 24/7.
2. You're not allowed? Bullshit. You have every right to see what is on his phone.
3. You are a grown ass woman who is acting like a doormat. Get your head out of the sand and start being responsible for your marriage and life. Stop letting your DUH make life choices for you.
I told him last night when he told me that I was very uncomfortable. He told me I was being a jealous Jane. He was galslighting you. A form of abuse. This is a tired tactic used to make you think something is wrong with you. I kept my distance until bedtime. At night he proceeded to initiate sex and ultimately ended up trying something new and kinky he has never tried before after more than 3 years which was a little weird but idk if this is related or not but it definitely has my mind wandering like crazy. Another red flag that he's been cheating. People who cheat often change their sexual habits. This is an age old symptom of him cheating.
He's cheating on you. I bet he already has been. Get smart and get mad. Stop being a doormat and demand respect for yourself and get into counseling because something is really off with you. YOU have a you problem and you need to find some self worth.
If you don't feel comfortable with this friendship then he needs to respect your feelings and stop texting and seeing her alone. I stay at home (so I'm not actively bringing money into the house) and I have access to everything; all accounts, emails, phones, whatever I want. He should let you see his phone and the bill. DH and I both have passwords on our phones to keep the kids out of them lol but we know each other's passwords, there shouldn't be secrecy in a marriage.
The next time one of them makes contact with the other, tell him again that you don't feel comfortable with his friendship with her. Tell him that you trust him, but you don't know enough about HER and don't trust HER. I have no problems with having friends of the opposite sex, but if someone is giving me the tinglies in a bad way, then that particular friendship needs to be reevaluated. We were born with instincts for a reason, if something doesn't feel right, then it probably isn't right.
Sarah & Jeb married 7/3/07
added Princess Cammy and Princess Evie on 2/23/09 then our little rainbow baby Lily on 5/13/12
Always save a mystery dildo. Always.
I just read your background OP and this man is not in this marriage for the long haul and he has an assortment of kids with different women and he has no respect for them, what makes you think he will ever be noble to you?
He also said he will never go to therapy, he'd rather just divorce you. What are you not getting here? It's pretty damn clear that he's not marriage/parent material and yet you still made a baby with him.
File for divorce and save your youth and life. He is not worth the shirt on my back.
Always save a mystery dildo. Always.

Indian Tribe Aliyah Approved
Latest update: November 8th, 2012
Israel's government approved the immigration of the Bnei Menashe, an Indian tribe that claims Jewish ancestry.
The approval comes after a five-year gap since the last group of Bnei Menashe arrived in Israel.
Members of the group, who claim descent from the lost tribe of Menashe, must undergo a conversion process even though it is accepted as fact that they have Jewish roots.
The Cabinet on Oct. 25 voted to restart the tribe's aliyah. A flight of more than 270 Bnei Menashe reportedly will arrive in the coming weeks, according to Army Radio.
The new immigration reportedly will be funded and facilitated by Shavei Israel, a non-governmental organization that helps locate and reconnect to Judaism and Israel the descendants of Jews.
Some 1,700 Bnei Menashe are living in Israel, and as many as 9,000 remain in India and Burma, according to the Times of Israel.JTA

Tyler Boyd won four state championships at Clairton, all the while just losing one game--that coming as a high school freshman in 2009. As a starter, Clairton was 48-0.
Therefore, playing football into December is nothing new to him, even as a college freshman.
"Since my freshman year (of high school), I've been playing all the way through December," Boyd said. "You have to keep pushing, keep pounding. Even though I'm hurt, tired, legs are killing me, I don't feel like doing it but it's my job. I'm not here just to be on the team, get a full-ride. I have to help this team as a full program win this first bowl game.
And when you talk winning, and you hear Boyd's desire to win, you gain a better understanding of how he approached that winning streak in high school. You also get a glimpse of what Boyd wants to bring to Pitt, in terms of that winning attitude.
It's not really a huge factor. Since my freshman year, I've been playing all the way through December. You have to keep pushing, keep pounding. Even though I'm hurt, tired, legs are killing me, I don't feel like doing it but it's my job. I'm not here just to be on the team, get a full-ride. I have to help this team as a full program win this first bowl game.
"Just win, that's all," Boyd said, looking at this matchup with Bowling Green. "Their team, they're talking a lot of trash, I heard. That's what Coach Chryst was telling us. I don't like a team that talks a lot of trash, if you can't back it up. All we're thinking about is preparing, and hopefully we'll pull out the win."
Boyd was a second-team All-ACC selection at receiver this year. You get a better understanding of his attitude and desire to win. While he certainly sounds confident--something you hope rubs off on the rest of this team--in terms of talking about his own numbers, Boyd is quite humble.
"Without my teammates, none of these accolades would even be possible," Boyd said. "I just wanted to come in and fit in with the team, make plays for the team. I just wanted to be here for them, to make a play. Coach Bobby Engram taught me.
"I didn't have my bar set that high, 1,000 yards and 77 receptions. I wasn't expecting it to be that fast. I'm just happy I showed the whole country what I was capable of."
Putting those numbers up, even seeing the field this year, those sort of things are natural for Boyd. It's some other minor things that were the real adjustment for him as a freshman. In another facet, we see Boyd's mentality of day-to-day life that makes him succeed.
"At first, it was pretty rough on me," Boyd added. "As the weeks came on, I started getting used to it, more comfortable around campus and everything. I just feel real comfortable. I know how everything works, so I can get my scheduled better. I'm just real comfortable.
"That's real huge as a freshmen, because they have you doing a whole lot. If we don't have practice or classes, they do these little freshmen meetings, so you have to take time out and go take care of that. You probably don't feel like doing it after a late class, but you still have to do it no matter what. We have to push through it and strive through it."
So what's next for Boyd? If there's any drawback to a successful freshman season like the one he just had, it's the idea he'll have to surpass those numbers in Year Two. He'll also have to do it without Devin Street. While he's already aware of that, if he could have one thing besides a win on Thursday, it would be to have Street back, just one more time.
"I've been missing him," Boyd said. "I've been solo out there without him on my side. He put me through a lot. He taught me a lot. I learned off him. Being out there side-by-side with him, it just doesn't feel right. I think it would be more easier on me. Our game is too good for us to not be on the field together."
Much like Street has done for him, Boyd will be counted on right away in 2014 to be a leader.in some ways, he might already be one. Aside from the numbers and his experience, he talked abou one freshman receiver who has stood out to him through some early bowl preparations--someone he hopes to be able to line up with as early as next season.
"The one freshman that stood out to me was Zach (Challingsworth)," Boyd said. "He came in there, running with the twos, he made a huge play. The whole drive was him. We were in the red zone, they threw a jump ball with him. My boy from Clairton, Titus (Howard), he usually doesn't cut any slack. We don't even have that when I'm it there. He's ready. He can't wait for his name to be called. He'll probably be with us."

Puppy Linux
It would be fair to say that the Linux landscape is somewhat cluttered with distributions, each offering a slight value delta to consider. So, I didn't expect to be evaluating yet another distro any time soon. Recently, however, I went hunting for an embedded Linux solution for small devices, and along the way, I stumbled on something that offers much more general value than what I was looking for—a Linux distribution called Puppy Linux (hereafter referred to as PL).
PL is getting a lot of attention and steadily gaining popularity, and it seemed worthy of further examination. At first glance, PL is a distribution praised for being small, fast and stunningly complete for its size—just as complete and secure as most desktop distributions. It also has the relatively unique distinction of being usable from live bootable removable media—CD/DVD or even a USB Flash device.
PL was developed and organized by Barry Kauler in 2003 as a fresh-start Linux Distribution Project—that is, it did not grow out of an existing distribution. Its goal and identifying characteristics have been consistent—offer a small, efficient distribution that doesn't sacrifice on user features or ease of use. PL's lightweight footprint makes it practical to use directly from a portable bootable image rather than needing to install it onto a fixed internal disk. In fact, PL can be booted and used effectively from any medium, ranging from a floppy disk to a network server.
To try PL, you need access to a CD/DVD R/W drive and disk writer software capable of burning ISO images and a host PC/laptop with the following:
Pentium II-class processor.
Removable media (CD/DVD or USB device).
BIOS that will allow the computer to boot from CD or USB—this device needs to appear before internal drives or other active boot options.
RAM: 128MB–256MB (at minimum).
Internet connection.
The machine I primarily used for testing is now a dedicated PL host. On the surface, this machine was ready for the scrap heap—a vintage Pentium III, 600MHz processor with 384MB of RAM. The PL community has suggested that a 100MHz-class machine with a minimum of 64MB of RAM will support PL. That may be, but I would expect it to be very tight and recommend more memory and a faster processor.
So what does the PL distribution contain? Given the size of the bootable image—the latest 3.0.1 release is smaller than 100MB—you might be surprised to see the completeness of PL. PL includes utilities and applications for anything a desktop user typically expects and needs to do—browse and communicate on the Web, view and manipulate digital photos and other media files, create documents, play games and so on. Specifically, the default core distribution includes the following:
Desktop control, filesystem browser and command-line console.
Choice of two X servers and the JWM (Joe's Window Manager).
Language interpreters: Perl, TCL/TK and the bash-compatible shell.
An assortment of media players and burners.
Office applications: word processor, spreadsheet and PDF writer.
Internet client tools: base Mozilla browser (Seamonkey), chat, FTP, e-mail, secure shell/Telnet, a wiki and a Web-authoring tool.
Network services, including an FTP server and firewall.
System administration utilities to manage and monitor disks/filesystems, job scheduling, printers, processes and memory usage.
Drawing/graphics applications.
A handful of games and dozens of utilities for managing PL's activities, life cycle and appearance.
Additionally available packages include:
Web server.
Gaim chat client.
GIMP photo editor and other image manipulation and viewing tools.
Additional development tools, including additional TCL/TK tools/libraries, Python and full bash 3.1 interpreters.
Additional media applications.
C/C++ compilers and libraries.
And, too many more applications to list here.
Not bad! And, you don't need to start with the standard core set of applications. Through a process documented under "Puppy Linux Unleashed" (www.puppyos.com/puppy-unleashed.htm), you can create a customized distribution from more than 500 packages designed to run under PL. The PL community puts the total number of available applications at more than 1,000.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Cosmic pluralism: science, religion, and possible populations on Venus
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it became possible to believe in the existence of life on other planets on scientific grounds. Once the Earth was no longer the center of the universe according to Copernicus, once Galileo had aimed his telescope at the Moon and found it a rough globe with mountains and seas, the assumption of life on other planets became much less far-fetched. In general there were no actual differences between Earth and Venus, since both planets orbited the Sun, were of similar size, and possessed mountains and an atmosphere. If there is life on Earth, one may ponder why it could not also exist on Venus. In the extraterrestrial life debate of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Moon, our closest celestial body, was the prime candidate for life on other worlds, although a number of scientists and scholars also speculated about life on Venus and on other planets, both within our solar system and beyond its frontiers. Venusians: the Planet Venus in the 18th-Century Extraterrestrial Life Debate (PDF), from The Journal of Astronomical Data (JAD) Volume 19, somewhat via NPR and their mention of amateur astronomer Thomas Dick's estimations of the populations of the other planets in our solar system (Archive.org online view of Celestial scenery, or, The Wonders of the planetary system displayed, 1845).

3 Million Tons of Extraterrestrial Ice Fishing
At least three million tons of fishlike creatures could theoretically live and breathe on Europa, according to Professor Richard Greenberg of the University of Arizona in Tucson. Greenberg recently presented his findings to the Division for Planetary Sciences, American Astronomical Society (PDF, Google quick view). Greenberg has written about potential life on Europa before, but his recent calculations suggest that the concentrations of oxygen would be great enough to support not only microorganisms, but also more complex animal-like organisms which have greater oxygen demands.

Mysteries of Titan
Saturn's enigmatic moon Titan holds on to its mysteries. Radar images reveal quite a bit of variation but no clear interpretation. The hazy atmosphere prevents the sudden shock of discovery that characterized the Voyager and Galileo flybys of the moons of Jupiter, revealing little more than fuzzy Rorschach blobs. With less than 1% of the surface mapped, researchers suspect that Titan has a young surface shaped by processes that have yet to be revealed.
Galileo Dies.

Swan song for a great explorer.
Swan song for a great explorer. Tomorow, the Galileo explorer will make a flyby of Jovian moon Amalthea ending pehaps the geatest unmanned mission in NASA history. Galileo telemetry may not survive the flyby having already receieved much more radiation than it was designed for. Even if it does survive, this will be its final orbit scheduled to crash into Jupiter in September of next year. In spite of antenna difficulties, the spacecraft returned many beautiful images of Jupiter's moons, along with coverage of the Shoemaker-Levy collision and the first atmospheric probe to decend into Jupiter's weather.

Scholarly activity
To further complement our clinical experiences, each of our residents is required to complete a research project during his/her training. The results of these projects are presented at the research symposia for the Department of Internal Medicine. Scholarship may be based in either the clinical or basic sciences, and the subject of study is determined by the individual resident's interest. We have found that this has provided a wonderful opportunity for residents to get first-hand experience with the process of developing a research question, collecting and evaluating data, and presenting data to their colleagues. Many of the research projects completed by our residents have been awarded research grants; presented at state, regional, or national meetings; and published in peer-reviewed medical journals. Based on the quality and innovative nature of our residents' research, our residents consistently receive awards from our Department of Internal Medicine in recognition of outstanding research. In addition, following graduation we have had a number of residents pursue further research training as Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars, General Medicine Research Fellows, or through sub-specialty fellowship training. Over the years, our graduates consistently comment on the value of this educational experience, even if they elect not to pursue a research-based career.
Recent projects by our residents have included:
- Role of liver dysfunction in the prediction of adverse outcomes in acute coronary syndrome
- Assessment of prognostic factors for mortality after inter-hospital transfer
- Description and assessment of the health status of Latinos in Washtenaw County
- Evaluation of the influence of patient gender on the diagnostic reasoning of medical students in a simulated patient chest pain scenario
- The Utility of Urinary BK Viral Loads in Predicting Late-Onset Hemorrhagic Cystitis in Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

Dear Miss Manners: Our two children are in day care and have a lot of friends they play with every day. Often when one of them has a birthday, the parents will throw what I consider to be a lavish party and invite all of the other children, who are 2, 3 and 4 years old.
These events seem to be universally overstimulating for the birthday child, and the idea that one child gets all the toys for the day is quite a challenge for the guests, as well.
For my own kids, we have done very small parties. We have dinner with one or two other families we are close to, let the kids play in our yard, have a small cake, and any gifts that are given we open after the party or the next day, to avoid fights.
However, I am feeling that I am not being appropriately gracious. Year after year, we are invited to these parties, and I have no intention of inviting these children (and their parents and siblings) to our birthday parties.
Is it OK for me to keep going to their parties and not invite them to ours? At this point, my kids won't notice if we don't go, but I feel rude for refusing. I usually enjoy attending the parties – visiting with other parents, letting the kids run around together. It's overstimulating, but we have a good time.
Luckily for us, my son's birthday is in the summer, when many people are on vacation, so sometimes I just say we celebrated when we were out of town.
Gentle Reader: Indeed, you are lucky. Many parents have regaled Miss Manners with the joy of their child's summer birthday (although the child in question was not so jubilant), when inviting the whole class to the party is not a necessity.
When it comes to hospitality, reciprocation does not have to be exactly equivalent. Issue invitations for a play date or similarly low-key social interaction to the children whose birthday parties you have attended. You may find that the parents, whom you could also include, will appreciate the gesture all the more for its being a break from the (over)stimulation.
The window treatment
Dear Miss Manners: I was at a social civic club event held at a member's rather stately home. When refreshments were served, a member took aside our gracious hostess and informed her that her choice in window treatments just did not do her home justice, and told her she would have her decorator call her to correct the situation. I am curious at what Miss Manner would have said?
Gentle Reader: "Well, you know tastes differ. I'm terribly sorry that my windows offend you, and I apologize on their behalf. But we are actually very fond of them."
This column was co-written by Judith Martin's daughter, Jacobina Martin.

Westphal played with Barbara and the Karousels polka band
As a boy living on his grandfather's Cedarburg farm, Joseph Westphal used to pick up sticks and pound on garbage can covers while listening to music.
"Then he'd turn boxes upside down to make different sounds. He just loved playing the drums," his ex-wife Joyce said of Westphal, who went on to perform for half a century as a drummer and singer with the polka band Barbara and the Karousels and other polka groups. »Read Full Article

Woman accused of hit-and-run on truckFebruary 15,2014Woman accused
of hit-and-run
BENNINGTON A North Bennington woman was charged Monday with a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in property damage, after police said they cited her Jan. 24 because the man driving the truck she allegedly hit called police and stayed on the phone with them until they caught up to her.
Liza LaFountain, 43, of North Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to the charge. She was released without bail.
In an affidavit, police said they got a call Jan 24 around 8:35 a.m. from a man who said his truck had been hit by a van while he was driving in North Bennington. The man said the crash took place near the intersection of Main and Bank streets after the woman driving the van went through a stop sign without stopping and hit his truck.
The man said the woman driving the van didnt stop so he followed her. He stayed on the phone with police until they were able to stop her.
LaFountain told police she felt a bump but didnt know what it was. She said she hadnt stopped because she was taking her son, who was in the van with her, to school.
Police said LaFountain, who has no criminal record in Vermont, also told them the crash took place in a challenging spot for her because the sun was in her eyes and frost was partially obscuring the windshield.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Bondville woman is facing a felony charge after police said they learned she was...

DeKalb All Stars Eliminated from State Tournament
The DeKalb County Junior League All Star 13-14 year old team was eliminated from the Junior League State Tournament Sunday after losing to Clarksville Northwest 11 to 3 at Cumberland Gap High School near Cumberland Gap, Tennessee.
In the tournament opening game on Saturday, the DeKalb All Stars were
defeated by the District 7 All Stars from Murfreesboro by a score
of 6-5. That loss sent the local all stars into the loser's bracket of the double elimination tournament against the 13 -14 year old All Stars from Clarksville Northwest on Sunday.
DeKalb was the visiting team on Sunday and came out in the 1st inning with singles by Stephen Howell and Steven Page and a 1-0 score. Stephen Howell was the starting pitcher
for the DeKalb Team.
In the 3rd Inning Howell then hit a double, followed by Evan Cripps hitting a single bringing in Howell, and Steven Page hit one deep bringing in Cripps, but Page was called out at third base, resulting in the score of 3-0 DeKalb at the bottom of the 3rd Inning.
The 3rd inning saw the tide turn for DeKalb as Pitcher Stephen Howell walked six successive batters allowing Clarksville Northwest to score 4 runs. Evan Curtis came in to relieve Howell and ended the Clarksville streak by striking out a batter.
In the 4th Inning DeKalb saw a batter hit, Seth Stanley, followed by three successive outs.
Clarksville scored no runs in the 4th Inning.
In the 5th inning Devin Summers came in as pitcher and walked three batters and allowed three singles, hit a batter, and two walks and the score was 7-3.
The 6th inning saw DeKalb's bats come alive with a single by Evan Curtis, double by Jordan Huling, but there were three outs at the bottom of the line-up resulting in no score. Clarksville increased their lead to 11-3 in the 6th Inning sealing DeKalb's fate, although in the 7th
inning Evan Cripps and Evan Curtis each added a single.
The final was DeKalb 3 and Clarksville Northwest 11, ending the DeKalb County 13-14 Year Old All Stars' appearance at the State Tournament.
This team would like to thank all individuals and businesses who donated funds to allow the team to travel to the State Tournament.

Fever, cough, night sweats: What could I have?
Q: Hello, Three weeks ago, I travelled to India, upon arriving in India, I had an extreme fever, and had pain on my lower right side and extreme pain just to the right of my spine on the right side of my back (in the middle chest area). The pain was so severe that I could not inhale more than 10-15% of my lung capacatiy without feeling like someone was hitting a pressure point in my back. I called a doctor and he gave me a anti inflammitory in shot in the bum that took away the pain in the back and left it only on the right side. He also prescribed an antibiotic (cipla) which contains orinidazole IP 500mg and Ofloxacin IP 200mg for 5 days. I had diahrea for a week, and severe night sweats. I also woke up one morning with a bloody nose (I have never had a bloody nose in my life). After this first week I lost 11 lbs. After flying home, I visited a doctor and ahd a chest xray done. They ruled out tuberculosis from the chest xray, and prescribed 500mg of Levofloxacine for 5 days and broncophane cough medicine and something to break apart my phlegm in the chest. The night sweats dissapeared. In week 3, I the night sweats have returned, and the cough will be non existant if I am not speaking or moving around. However at times if I am talking I will have a coughing fit where it sometimes leads to puking. Once the puking happens the airway is clear and I do not puke anymore. The sickness does no happen everyday and appears to only happen when I can not clear the airway. I have also began to notice tiny amounts of blood in my phlegm in the first morning spit, and none afterwards. I have returned to the doctor and he has taken a blood test for Typhoid fever, tuberculosis (although I have been tested for this numerous times in the past few years as I work in a public sector), and 2 other illnesses I had never heard of. The pain in my right side is not as severe as it used to be, but I still notice it if I attempt to take a full breath, it is at the lower right side of the rib cage and slightly below. My weight has varied at times, the lowest I have weighed was around 168lbs (down from 185). This was in the morning extremely dehydrated after night sweats. I now consistently weight between 172-176 depending on my hydration level. I also have the energy to lift weights, and despite my weight loss I am still lifting similar amounts of weight. 1. Diagnosis? 2. What are the chances I could have tuberculosis if I had a clear chest xray a week into the infection? 3. I also live in the middle east and it is sand storm season as this may be prolonging my recovery. -Thank you,
A: You could have had an acute severe pneumonia or a kideny infection from what symptoms you have described early on. However the night sweats and weight loss does make one think about TB and thus it is good that you are checked up for the same. Moreover since you visited India and had fever with night sweats one may also suspect malaria which will manifest with similar symptoms. If you indeed have had TB then the chest xray would have shown it since you had respiratory symptoms. You can also get a TB skin test done. I am not aware of how a sand storm season can definately affect your recovery but it sure can make you more susceptible to dust and prolongation of upper respiratory tract symptoms like cough and runny nose. All the best.

Tuesday night, the city council agreed to put three measures on the August sixth ballot. Pullman City Supervisor Mark Workman said that Washington's Initiative 747 has put a strain on the budget because it only allows the city to increase property taxes to 1% annually.
"One of the intentions of the proponents of Initiative 747 was to force municipalities to go back to the votes periodically to reaffirm service levels and reset property taxes," said Workman.
One ballot measure would increase property taxes by 65-cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. That money would increase the city's general fund revenue by about $887,000. The other two measures would each raise property taxes another nine-cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. That money would fund emergency medical services and parks and recreation.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a subtype of depression. Research suggests that SAD arises from some people's sensitivity to seasonal changes in the amount of available daylight.
People sometimes react emotionally to changes in the amount of daylight available. For example, with less sunlight in the winter, some individuals become depressed, sad and irritable. They want to sleep a lot and eat constantly and lose interest in socialising. When spring arrives with more daylight hours, their mood enhances; they feel better and start getting their energy back.
Are you depressed?
We all feel fed up sometimes but these feelings usually last for a couple of days or weeks at the most. Perhaps you have been feeling like this for longer.
We have designed a test to give you some indication.

Parenting toddlers and preschoolers can be very hard, even in the rewarding times. There is so much to teach and train them and as much as we love it, it can still be very overwhelming. One of the best things I did in my parenting was teach these top 5 Bible verses for toddlers and preschoolers to my children at a very early age.
The toddler and preschool years can be some of the greatest years for molding character and forming strong Christian faith. Since my oldest daughter, now an adult, was as young as one years old, Bible verses were a part of our parenting. I thought I would share with you, 5 Bible verses for toddlers and preschoolers to memorize, which will impact their Christian walk and make parenting a little easier.
5 Bible Verses for Toddlers and Preschoolers to Memorize
These verses are going to be the ones that this age group will will benefit from to overcome the natural tendencies that are demonstrated often during the toddler and preschool ages
- Children Obey Your Parents
In Ephesians 6:1, it reads, "Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right."
- Be Kind to Others
In Romans 12:10, we find, "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;"
