PENNSVILLE TWP. — Following a month-long investigation, a 48-year-old township man was arrested Thursday and charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, authorities said.
George E. Bagby was allegedly distributing a controlled dangerous substance throughout Pennsville Township, according to police.
According to authorities, police stopped Bagby on Carroll Avenue and then executed a search warrant in his home on Cornell Road.
Police said Bagby was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
"The Pennsville Police Department will continue to be proactive. If you are distributing CDS in Pennsville, you will be arrested and prosecuted," Pennsville Police Chief Allen Cummings said.
Bagby was processed and committed to the Salem County Correctional Facility in default of $20,000 full cash bail.
Further court action is pending.

i know everyone thinks brawl will be awesome. i wanted to get your thoughts on why. personally these are the things i've noticed: (not including character/mode/stage additions since those are over covered in other threads. gameplay only boys)
all the best aspects from 64+melee:
from melee:
-air dodge
-side step
-fluidity in character movement + controls
-grab game with hits and directional throws
from 64:
-floatyness we all loved
-pick up and play simplicity
and MOST importantly in my books. the awesome aspect of drill moves being oh so awesome to combo with. theres something awesome about getting someone stuck in a move that hits for longer if the character stays in range and that wicked noise it makes with every hit... it beautiful lol i'm so glad they brought that back

brawl is gonna be fun for me because the last time i really played nintendo was a while back with n64 until i bought my Wii. I have always been a playstation fan so never really got around to playin gamecube (melees and such). so im quite excited to see what my Wii has to offer when this game comes out and the videos of it look excellent.
to Hicks31 and Marth101: these aaaare good points... but like i said.. and i quote: "(not including character/mode/stage additions since those are over covered in other threads. GAMEPLAY only boys)"
there are at least 20 threads on the first three pages of this forum dedicated to these topics. gameplay and feel of the game is what this thread is dedicated to

RE: Harness and Footstraps
Hi Tom,
I wrote a reply last nite, but it never showed up here.
If you want to get another couple of sails, I'd suggest keeping about the same quiver spacing you are using with your existing sails.
Maybe a 5.5 m2 T-Bird, Retro, or Severne Gator.
Once you get under 6.0 m2 most sails (down to about 4.5 m2) will rig on a
430 mast.
Get the highest carbon content you can afford as this will make your rigs
as light and responsive as possible, and make learning to waterstart significanly easier. Yep. you'll soon be beyond the harness and straps, moving on to the next level .....ummm waterstarting and carve jibes.
I use Sailworks Speedstick 430 cm masts as well as Powerex Z-Speed 430 cm (both 100%) and I've never experienced any failures or durability concerns.
Probably, if you want to stay with the Carve line, and you are going to trade in your C-145, you might be looking for a Carve 11 or 121122.
These boards will give you a bit more high end range, but will still have fairly good early planing with your 7.5 m2.
As far as falling in backwards, you need to keep a "weather eye" upwind and ahead of you. If you keep an eye on what's coming at you next, you should be able to anticipate when the windspeed is either going to gust and try to catapault your or lull and drop you in the water backwards.
Either way, with a little more attention paid to what's coming, you can ease your sheeting angle just before the gust or lull arrives and stay on your board.
If the wind gusts, easing your sheeting angle just enough so you can "handle it" will make getting through the gust alot eaiser, especially out of the footstraps. Don't simply "sheet out" suddenly as that will upset the balance of both your rig and your board.
If you sail into a lull, easing your sheeting angle will help to keep your rig powered up as much as possible as your speed drops and the apparent wind speed drops and moves more behind you.
If yo keep the same sheeting angle, you will be oversheeted and stalling your sail.
Give this a try.
As far as falling in in the lulls, learn to move your body in more over the board and standing up straighter so you can stay on the board.
Unfortunately with smaller sails (like your 7.5 and 6.5) the power in the rig will really go away in the lulls, so the better you can anticipate them the less you will fall in.
If a gust is coming you will see darker or choppier water coming from upwind and ahead.
If a lull is coming you will see flatter and glassy water ahead.
So, with a careful weather eye, you can "prepare" for whatever is coming.
Hope this helps,

It was not long ago that "Sojourner's Truth: I Will Shake Every Place I Go To" made its theatrical debut at the Academy of Music in Northampton.
Thanks to Joseph Carvalho, Watershops Studio, and a long cast of helping hands, the play has been transformed into an interactive learning tool designed for the classroom and history buffs alike.
"Sojourner's Truth," with 12 recorded songs and the play performed in its entirety, is now available to purchase online through the Enchanted Circle Theater's official website, www.enchantedcircletheater.com/products.php
According to co-writer and director Priscilla Kane Hellweg, it has been a rewarding – and inspiring - journey.
"In 2008, Rachel (Kuhn) and I were approached by Wendy Sinton from the Sojourner Truth Memorial Statue Committee. She had seen our educational theater play "Between The Canals: The Evolution of a Mill Town," which is a site-based, living history play about the city of Holyoke," said Hellweg, who also serves as executive artistic director at Holyoke's Enchanted Circle Theater.
Hellweg said that Stinton believed a theatrical piece detailing Sojourner Truth's life would be an educational experience for its viewers – especially given the legendary 19th century abolitionist and activist's connection to the Northampton area.
"Wendy and members of the STMSC were a tremendous resource for us, shepherding our research process, providing materials, and being readers of early drafts of the play – assessing historical accuracy and continuity. Steve Strimer, a local historian, met with us at the very start of the project, gave us a private tour around the historic district in Florence where Sojourner Truth lived, and pointed us in the right direction on some of the best resources we should be using in our research," she said.
Kuhn, an English major, and Hellweg, a theater and music education major, duo attempted to educate and inspire not only with words, but also the power of music.
"I feel the relationship between Rachel and I, as playwrights, is quite unique. We approach each play as a partnership, and leave our egos at the door, literally finishing each other's sentences. We each bring a particular set of skills to the table, and the sum of our parts is quite exciting," Hellweg said.
The end result was a theatrical work featuring a number of different themes, according to Hellweg.
"Spiritual music is primary source information, and can be a powerful teaching tool. The timeline of Sojourner's life also felt critical as a point of reference to American history, and so we conceived the play as a theatrical concert, with spiritual music moving in and out of the story," she said.
"The other essential construct of the play is the relationship between the past and the present, and how the past informs/transforms the present. When I heard Stephany Marryshow, our narrator, sing, "Where I Want to Go," I knew we found what was missing. She exemplified the reason why this story needed to be told, and Rachel and I re-wrote the beginning and ending of the play," she said.
The play made its premiere on April 1, 2010, to a packed house at Northampton's Academy of Music, subsequently going on to tour across Western Massachusetts. Its initial success proved to be only part of the journey, thanks to musician-producer, and former Springfield Museums Executive Driector Joseph Carvalho, owner of Watershops Studios.
"I had known of Joe for years, as director of the Springfield Museums, but more recently had the pleasure to meet him through a mutual friend and heard about his musicianship and studio producing work with Eva (Cappelli)," she said.
Carvalho is not only a musician, but a historian as well.
"I served as executive producer. I worked with my nephew, Devin Basile, as sound engineer on the project," Carvalho said. "We recorded and mixed the audio tracks. Eva Cappelli helped co-produce this and with the singers, specifically Stephany. She's an emerging star singer-songwriter, it was very special to work with her."
Carvalho said that he has been working with Cappelli since 2008 and originally put together the Watershops Band to perform her music.
"One of Eva's best friends is Kate Dean, of Easthampton, who works at the Enchanted Circle Theater. Eva was enlisted to work with Stephanie Maryshow to prepare her for her pivotal role as narrator and singer in the production," he said.
Carvalho said the he was at the premiere of the play – in his own words he was spellbound – and soon afterwards, Hellweg approached him about recording the play.
"I immediately said yes. I was such a fan of her work and of the organization in general. When I worked at the Springfield Museums we had occasion to work with (Enchanted Circle Theater) in terms of programming but I never had the direct experience of working closely with Priscilla. She was great to work with on the recording, he said."

Brett Landman, CEO of the Satrix Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), responds: Satrix, which is a type of unit trust that enables investors to buy shares in the largest 40 JSE-listed companies, started in 2000 with the launch of the Satrix 40 Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) as the first ETF to be launched in South Africa. The largest 40 companies by market capitalisation are diverse across all sectors and the Satrix 40 endeavours to replicate the performance of the FTSE/JSE Top 40 index. Satrix has expanded its range of ETFs to seven, offering broad market exposure in the form of Satrix 40, Satrix Swix, Satrix Divi and Satrix Rafi. In August 2004, Satrix registered with the Financial Services Board as a collective investment scheme. This means that all Satrix securities are treated like unit trusts in terms of taxation, compliance, investment exposure and reporting. The Satrix 40 ETF has a market capitalisation of R6.8bn. Over the past 10 years to September 30 2011, the Satrix 40 ETF has returned 16.01%. A current highlight is the performance of the Satrix Divi ETF over the past three years. It has delivered a return of 18.03% per annum. It replicates the performance of the FTSE/JSE Dividend Plus Index, which includes stocks based on a one-year forecast dividend yield rather than traditional market capitalisation, as is the case with the Top 40 Index. Satrix ETFs can be bought through your stockbroker/online trading account. If you do not have a stockbroker, you can buy your Satrix shares through the Satrix Investment Plan. - Fin24

Nice, beautiful and they work fine on either side of a vertical large picture. However, price is far too expensive for the quality of these sconces.
Great price and sconces look good on the wall but right sconce is warped. Decided to keep them because they are neatly hung but should have returned them.
Well made product
I like the sconces, but 2 of the arms were bent. You cannot take them apart, so we tried as best we could to straighten them without breaking them off
Beautiful and very well made. Looks very elegant on my dining room wall alongside a picture. Well worth the price and I am very pleased with the item.
Love it, it is beautiful on the wall.
It assessorizes very well a large wall picture in the conservatory.
bought it for my mom and she loved it!
The sconces were exactly what I have been looking for. They hang on either side of a sofa-size painting. They enhance it without being too much. The quality is great too.

The Boston Red Sox had a hard time hitting in Game 1 of the ALCS on Saturday night, and one of their ballgirls didn't have a much better night.
What makes it even weirder is that a Boston fan suffered a similar fate around the same area last week in the ALDS.
Hat tip to The Big Lead for the find.

This utility fetches a Vital Product Data page and decodes it or outputs it in ASCII hexadecimal or binary. VPD pages are fetched with a SCSI INQUIRY command.
Probably the most important page is the Device Identification VPD page (page number: 0x83). Since SPC-3, support for this page has been flagged as mandatory. This page can be fetched by using the --ident option.
When no options are given, other than a DEVICE, then the "Supported VPD pages" (0x0) VPD page is fetched and decoded.
To unclutter the output for this page, the signature and the IDENTIFY (PACKET) DEVICE response are not output unless the --long option (or --hex or --raw) are given. When the --long option is given the IDENTIFY (PACKET) DEVICE response is output as 256 (16 bit) words as is the fashion for ATA devices. To see that response as a string of bytes use the '-HH' option. To format the output suitable for hdparm to decode use either the '-HHH' or '-rr' option. For example if 'dev/sdb' is a SATA disk behind a SAT layer then this command: 'sg_vpd -p ai -HHH /dev/sdb | hdparm --Istdin' should decode the ATA IDENTIFY (PACKET) DEVICE response.

Captain Daisy, with Monty Mole or Hammer Bro (depending on the situation) and Dry Bones in the wings, and Boo on defense.
My secondary team is Captain Yoshi, with Hammers and Birdo in the wings, with Toad in the back.
Daisy's team is a but trickier to use, but it can be even trickier to stop. It's scoring relies heavily on trick plays.
Yoshi's team is a more conventional scoring team, it can put up a tough offense, and an equally tough defense.
I think you have one Birdo too many. And you don't have one single competent passer in the bunch. A strong defense should be able to eat you up. If you like her shooting, maybe get a Hammer Brother to keep the shooting but gain some passing skill.
Dry Bones isn't too bad on defense, but his passing leaves alot to be desired, and it can help to have a great passer on defense to get the ball out of your half and to hook up the wings with some one-timers.
Get someone who can pass, or good defenses will intercept, slide tackle, and generally pick your offense apart.

Report: Water supplies at normal levels heading into 2014
January 13, 2014
Snowpack and Reservoir Levels
Basin Jan. 1 Snowpack (percent of historic avg.) Jan. 1 Reservoir Storage (percent of historic avg.)
South Platte 99 105
Colorado 102 98
Gunnison 107 80
Yampa, White, & North Platte 111 118
Arkansas 106 67
Rio Grande 99 64
San Miguel, Dolores, Animas & San Juan 100 69
Statewide 103 87
For additional information about Colorado's water supply conditions, go to http://www.co.nrcs.usda.gov/snow/.
There's a long way to go before the irrigation and lawn-watering seasons begin, but water providers and users in the region can't help but feel a little optimistic.
Water supplies in the South Platte River Basin, which covers most of northeast Colorado, are heading into 2014 at normal levels — a much better situation than seen during the past couple years.
A snowpack survey from the Natural Resources Conservation Service released this week — the first comprehensive report since June — showed that snowpack in the basin on Jan. 1 was 99 percent of historic average, and collective reservoir storage levels were slightly above normal, at 105 percent of average.
"There's certainly an optimism now that hasn't been there in a while," said Mike Hungenberg, an Eaton-area farmer who serves as the president of the New Cache La Poudre Irrigation and Reservoir companies, which had their annual meetings Wednesday morning.
Hungenberg and others were quick to point out, though, it will be the heavy snow months of March and April that play the biggest part in water supplies for the upcoming growing season — as is the case every year.
But they'll certainly take what looks to be a solid start to 2014.
A healthy water supply is vital for Hungenberg and an agriculture industry that, according to the Colorado Division of Water Resources, uses about 85 percent of the state's water. And it's critical for Weld County, where the ag industry makes about a $1.5 billion economic impact annually, which ranks eighth nationally.
The recent NRCS report also showed that water supplies are in good shape on the western side of the state as well, which has an impact locally.
The Colorado River Basin — which flows in the opposite direction of Greeley and Weld County, but still supplies a chunk of the region's water needs through transmountain tunnels that cross the Continental Divide — had similar numbers to those of the South Platte Basin.
Snowpack for the Colorado Basin was 102 percent of average on Jan. 1, while reservoir levels were 98 percent of average.
Hungenberg said that with many reservoirs already full in northern Colorado, the snowpack in the mountains should make a more direct path downhill in the spring, possibly allowing farmers to get an early start on irrigating.
Hungenberg also said that, with reservoirs full and snowpack at solid levels, there's optimism that cities will be more willing to lease some of their extra water to farmers and ranchers this year, if the water situation still looks good down the road. In 2013, most cities leased little or no water at all to ag users, because cities had to refill their reservoirs, which had been depleted during the 2012-13 drought.
Along with Hungenberg, others, too, are optimistic.
"There's a long way to go, but any time those (snowpack and reservoir) numbers are around the triple digits, we'll take 'em," said Brian Werner, public information officer and records manager for the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. The district oversees the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, which, with its system of a dozen reservoirs, is the largest water-supply project in the region, supplying about one-fourth of the total water supply in northeast Colorado. (The majority of that C-BT Project water is diverted from the West Slope's Colorado River Basin.)
Thanks to significant early-season snowfall across Colorado, the state as a whole is enjoying the best start to a winter season since 2011, according to the NRCS report.
It's a far better situation than seen during the past couple years. On Jan. 1, 2012, snowpack was 85 percent of average in the South Platte Basin, with the entire state sitting at 72 percent of average. The 2012 drought would later set in, and leave snowpack statewide at a record-tying low of 2 percent of average by May 2012.
On Jan. 1, 2013, snowpack in the South Platte Basin was down at 70 percent of average. Making matters worse a year ago, the South Platte's reservoir levels were only at 77 percent of average, and statewide, reservoirs were only 67 percent of average, because reservoirs had been depleted during previous drought.
"Of course, we still have a long way to go this year," said Jon Monson, the director of Greeley's Water and Sewer Department. "But any time we can get a good base like we have now, that's a good thing."

Station Stories
A Dot on the Map: The Stories that Bind Towns and People
A dot on the map. Barely. The town of Monument, population 128, is barely a dot on the map of eastern Oregon, four hours from Bend, and 60 miles to the closest doctor.
Being no more than a dot on the map is precisely what brought Oregon Public Broadcasting's daily conversation program Think Out Loud to Monument, Oregon, earlier this year as one of the stops in the year-long series, "Our Town."
This ambitious project takes a hyper-local look at individual communities across Oregon and southwest Washington, spending a week exploring what each town is all about and discovering stories that connect that town to the rest of the state. At the end of the week, everyone in the community is invited to a town hall. The town hall is then broadcast on OPB during the following day's show.
Sarah Jane Rothenfluch, Think Out Loud's executive producer, explains how this series is different from other reporting they do on the program: "Instead of going because news is breaking, we actually go to these towns because it's a spot on the map."
A little more than halfway through the project, there are already nine dots on the "Our Town" series map.
The first stop, just across the river from Portland, was the Vancouver-area city of Camus, Washington, a community trying to find the balance between rural and urban, growth and history.
Visit all the 'Our Town' Series Spots
Then it was over to the Oregon coastal town of Astoria, the state's oldest town, if not the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies.
Following Astoria, the show headed east over to Monument, then to Warm Springs, a town on an Indian reservation home to three tribes. Next to Woodburn, a town that epitomizes the stories of immigration and growth.
When the show visited the southern Oregon town of Lakeview they found a town supported by natural resources – from timber to geothermal energy. The story of the community of Roseburg is also closely tied to the success of the timber industry, as well as growth of newer industries like wine.
In Bend, the show found a city hit by the recession yet still focused on growth opportunities. The most recent city they visited, Ontario, has a diverse population and a large community spirit. And happens to produce 40% of the country's onions.
"Picking a town is only a little more sophisticated than throwing darts at a map"
Besides regional location, there is little that connects these dots on the "Our Town" map. Some cities are small and getting smaller, some are large and getting larger. Some are urban and some are very, very rural. Despite that diversity, Rothenfluch and the Think Out Loud staff really take the time to figure out how each town is more like the others than you might think.
"We go to towns and explore what that town is about," Rothenfluch says. "We want them to know that we care about the town. These are stories we don't always talk about. And we are looking for stories that relate to the state as a whole."
The stories are the key to the success of this project for David Blanchard, one of the program's radio producers, who worked on the Lakeview and Warm Springs shows.
"Picking a town is only a little more sophisticated than throwing darts at a map," Blanchard says. "But everywhere we've gone we've found compelling stories. There is always something to talk about."
Creating a new way to find stories in unexpected places has helped this program stand out says Blanchard.
"In our daily reporting, we have naturally gravitate towards for things that are happening in bigger places," he says. "[But in the "Our Town" series] we always find really fascinating things. Each has its own dynamic and narrative. The listeners hear that too, and are fascinated."
For much of the week that Blanchard (or another of the show's producers) is in the town, he is looking for stories to tell. He looks for interesting issues that are being discussed in the local cafes, restaurants and coffee spots. "We want to be talking about what the people are talking about," he says.
After a few days of going door to door and restaurant to restaurant interviewing community leaders and residents to really get into the heart of the stories and issues, Think Out Loud is ready to present these stories to a state-wide audience.
In a live show, town representatives, community leaders and an audience made up of residents meet to talk about these important issues.
"We take a piece of news and what it means for the state and get it down to what it means to the people on an individual level. And then facilitate a discussion," he says.
Building An Interactive Map
If all of this were the extent of the "Our Town" series it would be a complete radio program. And it is. But that's not the end. Meet the Think Out Loud multimedia producer, John Rosman. It's Rosman's job to put a face to these stories and a visual to even the most remote dot on the "Our Town" map.
Like Blanchard, Rosman spends the week in the town looking for people and stories. It's Rosman's role to make sure these precious stories have the life they deserve even beyond the radio show.
Through a website, Tumblr page, and Google map, Rosman collects those stories and the photos he takes.
"The series is about connecting the state and region," he says. "We are trying to know what's going on, and the people are the experts. We are building an interactive Oregon map."
"We Understand Them That Much More"
Spending quality time in these towns, instead of parachute journalism, is the key to the "Our Town" series and has given the team an advantage on other reporting projects. In May, when news of a fire at Woodburn High School spread through the OPB newsroom, the Think Out Loud team was equipped to cover the story because they had featured the town just a month before.

"We make a bunch of contacts in the towns we visit. We were able to go through our contacts from the [Woodburn] show to get to the right people to know who to call for an interview," says Rosman.
Those contacts help them produce better reporting, Rothenfluch adds.
"This series has helped us to understand, in a much better way, different places in our area," she says. "We can picture the people who live there. We know what the town is like."
Delving deeper into these communities helps these journalists put context into all their other reporting.
"Whenever I see stories about Warm Springs and Lakeview, we know the importance of these stories that can just fall into the stream of other stories," says Blanchard. "We know the urgency that the town is feeling. We've been there and seen and talked to the people. We are personalizing these stories. We care so much more and have an appreciation of other towns in similar straits. We understand them that much more."
Like any good story, the cities that stand out are the ones that are personal and meaningful.
"I talked to one guy in Woodburn who is battling MS," says Rosman. "A couple of years ago he had a job, and was walking. Then he was just hit with MS. He turned from pessimist to optimist. It seemed counter intuitive to me, but he turned something negative into positive. It really touched me to talk to him. And put my own life in perspective."
Blanchard had a similar experience when he went to Lakeview.
"We were very warmly received in the midst of their really difficult situation; they are just trying to make an economy based on timber that has completely dried up," he says. "There was just a strength in the way that they spoke about it. No defeatism or a really negative strain. It was a cheerful show about serious issues. They are really strong and positive. When you hear stories about the death of small town America, it sounds so bleak and desperate. But those aren't the adjectives I'd walk away with. The spirit and the strength that are in these towns. They know there is a way out, because of their ingenuity and dedication."
It's safe to say that the "Our Town" series has impacted Blanchard, Rosman, Rothenfluch and the rest of OPB's Think Out Loud staff. But, of course, they aren't in this for themselves. It's about their listeners.
"As we go through the year, you'll see dots on a map," says Rothenfluch. "My hope that it becomes a resource; to answer the question, what does that town really look like? This could come to be a resource, to see the people and the reality of a place."

BEIJING -- Yeah, mon, there's a new world order in sprint racing.
Jamaica, the birthplace of reggae music and jerk chicken, is now home to the fastest people on the planet.
One day after Usain Bolt burst into the history books in record fashion to win the men's 100 meters at National Stadium, a trio of his Jamaican countrywomen made Olympic history with a 1-2-3 finish in the 100, upstaging their American counterparts in an unprecedented show of force.
Unheralded Shelly-Ann Fraser won the gold medal with a start-to-finish victory in 10.78 seconds. Teammates Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart tied for second at 10.98 and were both awarded a silver medal.
Americans Lauryn Williams, Muna Lee and Torri Edwards finished fourth, fifth and eighth, respectively.
The medal sweep is the first in Olympic history in the event. And the fact that it came from a country of about 2.8 million people, which is far less than the population of Louisiana, makes the achievement all the more remarkable.
"This is a crazy 'Bolt effect,'¤" said an ebullient Fraser afterward. "Last night was amazing, it was crazy. I wanted to come out and do the same thing. I was inspired by Usain and Asafa (Powell). .¤.¤. The secret of the team's success: reggae music."
And incredible athletic ability.
"The top three times were fast," Edwards said. "(A time of) 10.78 for the win into a negative head wind is pretty impressive. They ran fast."
The dominant victory also ended a string of close finishes for Jamaica. In the previous seven Olympiads, Jamaica has finished second three times and third three times.
"Oh my God, that is too much!" Stewart said. "For us to finish 1-2-3, Jamaica is sayin' something. And they need to pay attention."
The world is listening after their epic -- but controversial -- performance Sunday in what was being billed as a showdown between the United States and Jamaica, which fielded six of the eight runners in the final.
Fraser seized the lead with a brilliant start and never looked back. Simpson and Stewart were right behind, outkicking the Americans who were desperately trying to make up ground down the stretch.
"When I crossed the line and saw Sherone and Kerron there -- that was the moment. I wouldn't trade it for anything else," Fraser said. "I just couldn't believe it, but I had to calm down and stay relaxed."
It all went wrong at the start for the Americans.
Edwards, crouched in Lane 6, appeared to flinch in the blocks a split-second before the start. Lee, in Lane 5, saw the movement out of the corner of her eye and hesitated. So did Edwards.
"Man, I swear somebody jumped," said Lee, who starred at LSU from 2001 to 2004. "Someone got out before the gun. I've never had a bad start like that -- ever."
Edwards admitted that she jumped the gun.
"I'm pretty sure that I did," said Edwards, a two-time Olympian. "They didn't do a second gun. I thought I'd hear it. I hesitated. That was really a rookie mistake. I just kinda got stuck out there."
Even Stewart said she thought "there was a false start. And I was just waiting for the callback, but the race is over."
It was definitely over for the Americans.
Lee tried desperately to make up ground and gradually did, but at that point it was too late. The Jamaican trio was too far in front. A bewildered Edwards, whose time of 10.78 at the trials was the fastest in the world this year, finished last.
After Lee crossed the finish line, she cast a disgusted glance at the video board, then took an immediate hard right off the track and into the exit tunnel. Williams and Edwards weren't far behind. Before the Jamaicans had reached the end of the first turn in their raucous victory lap, the American trio had flown the coop, otherwise known as the Bird's Nest.
"It was a terrible race," Edwards said. "(A time of) 11.2 is so mediocre it's ridiculous."
On behalf of the runners, the USA Track and Field Association lodged a protest to the International Association of Athletics Federation, the governing body of the track and field competition, claiming that the race should have been halted because of the false start. The IAAF rejected the motion a few hours later, leaving the American women with a medal shutout in the 100 for the first time in 32 years. Technically, the United States also was shut out in 2000 after Marion Jones was stripped of her gold medal for doping.
"Yeah, I am kinda surprised. I thought some Americans would get up in there," Lee said. "I still can't believe it."
All is not lost. The American sprint relay team will try to turn the tables on Jamaica in the 400-meter relay later this week.
"I'm excited about the relay," Williams said. "I think we're going to try to get out there and get some vengeance."

The Longview Daily News reports that in December 2007, Zach Beck, a young, well-connected member of the Aryan Nations, organized a white supremacist rally at Longview's McClelland Arts Center.
The rally attracted only about 30 sympathizers. But more than 400 Longview residents marched in a counter-demonstration to support the cause of local diversity. A swarm of TV news crews descended on Longview. Beck didn't show up for the rally, and his moment in the local public eye came to an unceremonious end.
But this year, Beck, who is serving a 51-month sentence at a federal prison in Arizona, self-published a book disavowing the neo-Nazi movement and also publicly apologizing to the communities he victimized.
"My behavior was childish, immature and lacking intelligence," Beck wrote in one of many letters to The Daily News this year. "I truly want to apologize for the image of hate I brought upon the residents of Cowlitz County."
Beck said he realized his beliefs were "rooted in fear" and that he needed to "evolve." He began writing the book just after his June 2011 conviction for violating the civil rights of a black man he attacked with two other men in a Vancouver sports bar.
"I wanted to explain how a young kid whose first concert was the Grateful Dead, (who) wore tie-dye t-shirts and worshipped Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix could fall prey to a world of hate and violence," Beck told the newspaper. "But more than that, (I wanted to show) why I was able to overcome such an ignorant, primitive … instinct such as racism."
In other news around the Northwest:
Selaah police say a man started a 500-acre wildfire by launching a floating luminaria. The bag heated by a candle drifted into a hillside Friday and started a brush fire that took 100 firefighters to extinguish.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports police are recommending a reckless burning charge against 36-year-old Alejandro B. Olivarez.
He spoke to firefighters at the scene and said he intended for the luminaria to rise into the sky.
Meanwhile, in Medford, two sheep that were on the loose have been captured after nearly a year on the lam.
The sheep had been crossing Interstate 5 and interfering with traffic. They fled into a greenway and avoided capture until Monday night when they were cornered by police and volunteers behind an apartment building.
The Mail Tribune reports the goat-like Barbados sheep are now in the care of the Sanctuary One animal rescue operation.
A manager, Sansa Collins, says one is a female with an ear tag and trimmed horns that indicate it was once at a ranch. It was apparently pregnant when it escaped and gave birth on the run because the other sheep is a male with no sign of human care.

MUSKEGON, MI. – The Muskegon Lumberjacks couldn't have drawn it up much better.
Back-to-back games against the first-place leaders in the USHL and down-to-the-wire games each night.
Sioux Falls scored all four goals off faceoff plays, including the game-winner when C.J. Franklin got free backdoor to score with 28 seconds remaining in overtime.
The Lumberjacks also lost 4-3 Friday night, but that was in a shootout against Eastern Conference leader Dubuque.
Against Sioux Falls, Muskegon scored three goals in the second period to take a 3-2 lead, but couldn't finish it out.
"I guess similar to (Friday) night, in a sense, we probably did enough, maybe did enough to win against some teams, but not against the Western division leader," Muskegon coach Jim McKenzie said. "We've got to be a more complete team or play a more complete game all the way through.
"The mistakes that were made were in the back of our net. We did a lot of good things offensively, but we've got to take care of our end better and take care of the puck a lot better on all four goals."
McKenzie thought the plays off draws were the difference.
"All three of their goals, all four counting the overtime, were all face-off plays," McKenzie said. "It's stuff we work on. You work on winning draws, you work on your own zone, if you don't win it you don't lose it, we work on the winger coming through and taking that lane so the shot doesn't get through and we failed on all four of those. That's probably, because of the effort the guys put in, the sad part of it to have it go that way."
All the scoring from Muskegon came in the second period.
Trailing 1-0 after one period, defenseman Michael Brodzinski got Muskegon on the board with his 11th goal of the season at the 5:03 mark. On a power play, he took a pass near the blue line and skated in to fire a shot past Sioux Falls goalie Charlie Lindgren.
After Sioux Falls regained a 2-1 lead, the Lumberjacks scored a pair of goals less than a minute apart.
Muskegon's Adam Gilmour got a fortunate bounce along the boards and scored an unassisted goal, his 13th of the season, at the 16:37 mark. Linemate Cameron Darcy put Muskegon ahead 3-2 58 seconds later when he weaved his way through the defense and scored in the top right corner.
Gilmour made the switch from center to wing two games ago and he said it's paying off. He has points in five of his past six games. Gilmour also was credited with an assist on Brodzinski's goal.
"I'm on a good line with (Ben) Foster and Darcy and we've been gelling really well," Gilmour said. "I like wing. I think I can do a lot and help the team."
Gilmour said the adjustment hasn't been too difficult.
"Probably the only thing is battling along the wall to get pucks out in our defensive zone, and other than that, the offensive zone coach lets us play where we want just as long as we got back in the "D" zone and cover my defenseman and just get pucks out. That's my job."
Sioux Falls, in the midst of a nine-game road swing, rallied and tied it up at the 9:17 mark of the third period on Franklin's first goal of the night.
In the overtime, Sioux Falls had a 5-1 edge in shots and Muskegon goalie Kevin Lindskoug made some good saves, but couldn't force another shootout.
Sioux Falls had a 39-31 edge in shots and also got goals from Todd Skirving and Vinny Muto.
Muskegon plays its third game in three days with a road trip Sunday to Chicago. Game time is 4 p.m.

Tempest (Final Fantasy VIII)
this wiki
The Tempest (テンペスト, Tenpesuto?) is a vehicle from Final Fantasy VIII. It is the car Squall drives when he attacks Edea at the end of Disc 1.
Reminiscent of the American Cadillac, the Tempest is a light blue convertible with left-hand steering, meaning it is designed for driving on the right-hand-side of the road. Since the roads of Deling City are designed for left-hand-side driving it can be surmised that the Tempest is a foreign car from a different region, although which region exactly is unknown.
The Tempest's license plate reads: WH-1637551 and is a Galbadian license plate.
Other appearancesEdit
Chocobo RacingEdit
Squall appears in Chocobo Racing driving the Tempest. In the game, it possesses great speed, acceleration and turning, but has a bit of a problem with braking, which is referred to the FMV where Squall is driving The Tempest to assassinate Sorceress Edea in Disc 1 in Final Fantasy VIII.
- The Tempest's hood ornament is that of a chocobo.
- A real-life car exists bearing the Tempest name, which was a mid-size muscle car produced by Pontiac in the mid 60's. This car had the similar design as the Tempest Squall drives, including the fact that it had a left-hand steering wheel and hard braking characteristics commonly found in muscle cars.

She is new to the high school, but it did not take South Kitsap fastpitch coach Jessica Cabato long to gauge the state of the program.
"We all have the same goal this year of making it to state and doing very well this year," she said. "They all agree they're not content just to get there."
The Wolves finished with a 12-15 record in Tami Lester-Dame's lone season as coach in 2012, but advanced to the Class 4A state tournament for the first time in nine years.
Cabato, a 2000 Central Kitsap graduate, said she feels South has the ability to be successful. The Wolves lost some production when a pair of three-year starters, outfielder Erika Henderson and catcher Ericka Hobson, graduated. But Cabato feels the program returns plenty, including third-year varsity starter Ashley Chamberlin, who has hit in the middle of the order since her first game in 2011. When Chamberlin is not on the mound, Cabato said she will play first base. Madison Watson, a junior, also will see time as a pitcher.
The infield is close to set as the Wolves approach their Monday nonleague season-opener against Peninsula. Juniors Hannah Spohn (first base) and Tessah Tremper (third base) will handle the corners with senior Alyssa Buss, who also can pitch, at shortstop.
"She's an outstanding middle infielder," Cabato said of Buss.
That leaves second base open. Cabato said sophomores Hayley Romo and Drew Camacho are competing with junior Bailey Arnett, who is recovering from an injury, are competing for the starting position.
"Drew will get quite a bit of time for a sophomore," Cabato said.
That not only will come at second base, but catcher. South traditionally has featured enviable depth at that position and this year is no different. In addition to Camacho, seniors Kayla Clauson and Emily Elam will vie for playing time there.
Cabato said Clauson's arm strength and ability to "track the ball down" makes her a good fit for center field, too. Juniors Mackenzie Bergstrom and Chelsea Foster and sophomore Shelby Reyes also are expected to vie for playing time in the outfield.
As far as early impressions are concerned, Cabato said she has been impressed with the Wolves' talent and leadership.
"They've been great to work with," she said. "They understand that my expectations might be a little different than what they've had in the past. They make me want to come to practice each day."
Cabato, who works as a training technician at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, pitched at Bethune-Cookman University in Florida before returning to the West Sound. She later guided Olympic College to a 91-64 record and four playoff appearances from 2008-11 before being let go by the school.
"The program was very successful," she said. "The athletic director just wanted to go in a different direction."
Cabato then rejoined CK's program as an assistant to longtime coach Bruce Welling last spring. South hosts the Cougars in its first league game Wednesday. Welling announced earlier this year he plans to retire after the season and Cabato looks forward to competing against her mentor.
"I think it will be a lot of fun," she said. "Maybe a little extra competitive."
Busy could aptly describe Cabato's schedule this spring. She also coaches her daughter's 12U select team.
"I love this game," she said. "I have a passion for watching kids grow and develop. I like coaching at the high school and college level because I enjoy the competition there."

If you've missed any of this game, there will be plenty of Notre Dame highlights on ESPN's SportsCenter this evening.
Notre Dame leads Syracuse 66-54 with 11:36 remaining. Kyle McAlarney has 22 points on 7-for-9 shooting from 3-point range. He's just one 3-pointer shy of the school record; set four times, including twice against Syracuse. Keith Freil and Matt Carroll both hit 8 3-pointers against Syracuse.
Ryan Ayers supplied the play of the day with a thunderous dunk over SU's Donte Greene and Kristof Ongenaet.
Donte Greene has gone to the bench with four personal fouls. He has five points for the game.

This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (extent of occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is extremely large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Bulletin No. 04-1
|Individual Health Insurance Carriers
|March 2, 2004
|Mary L. Hartung, Director
|Individual Health Insurance - Requirements Relating to Federally
Eligible Individuals
The purpose of this Bulletin is to provide notice to carriers offering individual health coverage to Idaho residents of requirements under federal and state law relating to "federally eligible individuals."
"Federally eligible individual" means an individual:
a) Who has had at least 18 months of creditable coverage as of the date
the individual seeks coverage under the Pool; and
b) Whose most recent prior creditable coverage was under a group health benefit plan; and
c) Who is not eligible for coverage under a group health plan, part A or part B of title XVIII of the Social Security Act (Medicare), or Medicaid, and who does not have other health insurance coverage; and
d) Whose most recent creditable coverage was not terminated based on nonpayment of premiums or fraud; and
e) Who, if offered, elected continuation coverage under a COBRA continuation provision or under a similar state program and exhausted such continuation coverage.
Renewability of Individual Health Plans
The Idaho Individual Health Insurance Availability Act (Chapter 52, Title
41, Idaho Code) was enacted to promote availability of health insurance
coverage for persons not covered by employment-based insurance, regardless
of their health status or claims experience. This act contains provisions
governing renewability of coverage, and limitations on the use of preexisting
condition exclusions. These provisions extend to all federally eligible
individuals; except no preexisting condition exclusion may be applied to
federally eligible individuals.
Identifying Federally Eligible Individuals and Providing Notice at Time of Application
The federal agency Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has
informed the Idaho Department of Insurance that federal law requires individual
carriers to ensure that all federally eligible individuals are identified
during the application process. To comply with this requirement, all application
forms used by individual carriers must solicit information that will allow
the carrier to identify federally eligible individuals by including questions
about the applicant's prior coverage history. Individual carriers
are responsible for providing proper training to their agents to assure
that federally eligible individuals are identified at the time of application
for health insurance coverage. In addition, carriers must assure that federally
eligible individuals are advised of and understand the protections that
are available to them under the federal Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA). To meet this requirement, all federally eligible
individuals must be clearly informed, prior to completing the application
form, that they are eligible for coverage under Idaho's Individual
High Risk Reinsurance Pool benefit plans. Federally eligible individuals
must be offered the Individual High Risk Pool plans along with any other
types of coverage that may be available to them.
Universal Application Form
The Idaho Individual High Risk Reinsurance Pool Board has developed a Universal
Application that includes information for identifying federally eligible
individuals, various forms of creditable coverage, and other benefit protections
for federally eligible individuals. The Universal Application can be obtained
by contacting the Individual High Risk Reinsurance Pool Administrator at
(208) 344-7900 ext. 3177, or from the Department's web page at www.doi.idaho.gov
If an individual carrier intends to use the Universal Application, the carrier
must file notice of its intent with the Department's Policy Rates
and Forms Section. For information regarding this filing, contact the Department
of Insurance at (208) 334-4250.
Preexisting Condition Limitations
Idaho Code § 41-5208 (3) identifies standards governing preexisting
condition limitations for individual health insurance policies. By this
Bulletin, the Department is providing notice to all carriers that no preexisting
condition exclusion or limitation period may be applied to federally eligible
individuals. A "preexisting condition exclusion" is a limitation
or exclusion of benefits relating to a condition based on the fact that
the condition was present before the first day of coverage, whether or not
any medical advice, diagnosis, care, or treatment was recommended or received
before that day.
Qualifying Previous Coverage
Idaho Code § 41-5501(17)(b) defines "qualifying previous coverage" to include any individual health insurance policy or health benefit arrangement that provides "benefits similar to or exceeding benefits provided under the basic health benefit plan." The CMS review committee has determined that the specific reference to "benefits similar to or exceeding benefits provided under the basic health benefit plan" in Idaho Code §41-5501(17)(b) is an impermissible restriction under federal law. Rather, health coverage that fits into any category of creditable coverage that is identified in HIPAA, must be considered creditable, regardless of how comprehensive it may be. Therefore, we are directing carriers to use this definition of creditable coverage in determining whether an individual is a federally eligible individual who is guaranteed the right to purchase a choice of individual coverage, with no preexisting condition exclusion.

The virtual workspace of the future is being packed up inside of boxes and is getting sent out right the heck now! Or later. Maybe someone was too trigger happy, here. But maybe the Microsoft HoloLens is something to be happy about. We've seen the specs and demos and the pre-orders were made by developers. Now, we're seeing signs of movement. Received hololens shipment confirmation. Could have it as early as tonight, depending on actual status. — Rafael Rivera (@WithinRafael) March 23, 2016 Rafael, by the way, lives in Bellevue, Washington, not terribly far from Redmond.

Is it fair that manufacturers restrict what we can do with the smartphones we purchase, drawing lines in the sand between permitted "consumer" activities and prohibited "developer" ones? We're hard-pressed to argue how that possibly makes sense, but like it or not, that's the situation for many handsets out there, leading to the release of Developer Editions that cater to the power user who can't resist the temptation to poke around a bootloader. We've seen Samsung give such treatment to models from its Galaxy lineup of Androids, like the Note 3 last fall. This year, it's the Note ...

$649.99 is what you had to pay to own a Developer Edition Motorola Moto X. However, if you are preparing to grab one just now, the new price is more attractive. It will set you back $549.99 for both the GSM (works with AT&T and T-Mobile), as well as the Verizon flavor of the Developer Edition phone. These phones are the 32GB internal storage flavors and you will be able to easily unlock their boot loaders. As far as the color is concerned, the special black and woven white Developer Edition design will set it apart just a bit. Source: Motorola (1)(2) Via: AndroidGuys

Last week we've heard official wording from Motorola (its VP, Punit Soni) about additional carriers on which the Moto X will land in a "matter of days", and, at the same time, and with the same timeframe, we also heard about the Developer Edition version of the phone. On that exact note, Motorola has updated its "ways to buy" Moto X page, adding a render of the Developer Edition phone. As you can see pictured above, we're looking at a black-and-white flavor (black front with white back), and a "Developer Edition" text specifically being called out on the bottom. The text says "Moto X ...

We all kept a good eye on HTC's promise of selling a SIM and Boot Loader-unlocked Developer Edition of their HTC One on the same days that the carriers are getting their devices. We're glad to inform that HTC kept their promise, and as of today at 10AM EST, you can purchase your Developer Edition HTC One online. There are a ton of advantages to this device. First of all, it's SIM unlocked, so you can use it on AT&T, T-Mobile or abroad. You can obviously tweak the software all you want since the Boot Loader is unlocked. Now even better is the price tag. If you wanted to buy a ...
