Millburn stunned MKA with a Josh Mata goal in the final minute for a 2-1 victory on Sep. 15. It is the only loss MKA has suffered this season.
It should be another defensive slugfest as Millburn (10-2) has allowed just nine goals this season, while Montclair Kimberley (10-1-1) has allowed only four goals this season.

This week's "Best of Craigslist" comes to you from PennLive's Sarah Day, an intern from Messiah College.
Are you looking for a new pet companion to love you, cuddle with you, or spend your free time with you?
Well you're in luck. Craigslist has a 30 pound snapping turtle for free from Lancaster that is up for grabs. How cute!
"I have a snapping turtle, male. He's about 2 years old and about 30 pounds. He's been kept in an aquarium and his name is Diesel. Free to a good home. Come pick it up and it's yours."
Are you interested? Click here.
Because honestly, what could be better than finally having your own giant turtle capable of running up to 2.4 miles per hour on land.
That's right. Running from "Diesel" would be slow--but absolutely terrifying. But don't worry! Craigslist has you covered.
To escape being hunted by a giant snapping turtle, or maybe just to give your buddy Diesel something to chase for his weekly exercise, you can buy your very own, top of the line, racing lawn mower (is that even a thing?).
The Craigslist listing from Harrisburg says the mower is "race ready, best of the best!!" If you don't believe it, the seller says they've got "many first place wins--I've got trophies to prove it...This is not your pap's lawn mower!" Now THAT'S impressive. Click here to check out the ad.
So whether it comes to wanting to pick up a reptilian bestie or a new hobby, turn to Pennlive's "Best of Craigslist" for all of your strange, obscure, and oddly entertaining Craigslist needs.
"Best of Craigslist" is a PennLive series in which we highlight some of the odder ads on the local Craigslist pages. It is published every Friday at 4:30 p.m.
Is there an ad that deserves our attention? Let us know in the comments or shoot your usual "Best of Craigslist" writer, Julia Hatmaker, an email firstname.lastname@example.com. Keep in mind we only highlight those ads that are on the Harrisburg, Cumberland Valley, Lancaster or York Craigslist pages - it's all about keeping our weird news local, folks!

Blackman Township public safety officers have identified seven suspects in a spree of vehicle larcenies and home break-ins in Jackson, Hillsdale and Lenawee counties.
They plan to seek warrants against the suspects, one girl, a boy and five men, all of Jackson County, by the middle of next week, said Blackman Township Public Safety Detective Chris Boulter.
One of them, an 18-year-old Jackson man, has been in custody since Sept. 1 on unrelated charges of home invasion and domestic assault and interference with a telecommunication device.
Boulter said officers have secured confessions from some of the suspects, who admitted to being involved in 43 larcenies from vehicles, four home break-ins and a felonious assault throughout the last four weeks.
In one of the vehicle larcenies, a man tried to stop two individuals from breaking into his car by grabbing one of the potential thieves, but the other person attempting to break in pointed a gun at the car owner, a felonious assualt, Boulter said.
The detective said there may be more instances of thefts.
Mostly, the individuals stole electronics, loose change, purses or "anything they could get their hands on" from unlocked vehicles parked in driveways, Boulter said.
In some instances, they spotted a purse or other desirable item in a locked vehicle and smashed a window or windows to retrieve it, he said.
The case was broken open last week when Public Safety Officer Joseph Merritt was patrolling on foot about 2:30 a.m. Sept. 1 in a neighborhood east of Lansing Avenue and north of Parnall Road, Boulter said.
Merritt spotted one of the suspects, followed him to a residence and recovered a lot of stolen property, Boulter said.
Police had earlier identified the suspect, so Merritt was able to recognize him, Boulter said.
Among the stolen items recovered were electronics, jewelry, DVD players, digital cameras, military medals, a medical bag and air guns that fire plastic pellets, Boulter said.

Christie's sets one wine record, blows another
Christie's auction in Geneva on Tuesday claims to have set a world record price for a bottle of red Burgundy. A U.S. buyer bought the 750 ml bottle of 1945 Romainee-Conti for $123,889. But the house failed to sell its showcase lot of the auction — 315 bottles representing every vintage from '45 to '07 produced by each of the first five growths of Bordeaux.
Arbitrage in Bordeaux
New York's branch of Christie's is auctioning a collection of 64 bottles of Mouton-Rothschild on Saturday that spans the years 1945-2007. It's Geneva branch is auctioning a collection of 315 bottles spanning the same 62 vintages, but from all five first growths including Mouton-Rothschild on Tuesday. (See story "Mystery collector to sell rare wines" [ID: nN10231397])

MOBILE, Alabama – A man once known as the "Stripper King of New York" is sharing a message of good and evil in his debut novel "The Devil's Glove." The book uses a baseball story to shed light on what he calls the "illusion of success."
"The major message in the book is that success and failure live inside of you personally," said Louis Agnello Jr., a Connecticut native. "If you live your life trying to seek the approval and acceptance of what Madison Avenue considers success, then you're going to live your whole life probably disappointed."
Agnello – who writes under the nickname "Cousin Vinny" – will be at Page & Palette in Fairhope on Friday, June 6, to sign copies of the novel and talk about his personal story, which is probably worthy of its own book one day. The event is set for 6-8 p.m.
In the book, a down-and-out baseball player unwisely seeks help from the Devil to make it into the big leagues. While Satan promises him success – in the form of a magic glove -- what he wants in return is his soul.
The devil's next victim is an 11-year-old boy with similar dreams, and thus the plot is off and running. "They chased after this illusion, which made both of their lives into a living nightmare," Agnello said.
The story came to Agnello in a kind of dream, he said. He started the manuscript but didn't finish it for two decades, during which time he was working as an elite stripper for women's parties in New York and dabbling in small soap-opera roles.
By the time he return to the book, Agnello said, he had lived part of its message. He had gained national notoriety for providing a stripper to high school football players in New York, where Bill and Hillary Clinton resided at the time. He had gotten caught up in a battle over a Subway franchise. He had survived a gunshot at point-blank range in 2008.
"He hit me in a pile of credit cards in my left front pocket. The pullet punctured my license," he said. "There have been too many eerie, uncanny things that have happened in my life. I held it off for I don't know how long, but I promised to deliver this message."
Agnello describes "The Devil's Glove" as a "modern interpretation of Ecclesiastes." It's not exactly religious, but there's a morality lesson there. "We're not supposed to be brewing over what was or what may be, but accept what we have and be happy with what we have," he said.
There's also a strong anti-suicide message in the novel, he said. One of the book's characters later regrets taking his own life. "No matter how dark it seems, there is usually a ray of light, and that's what 'The Devil's Glove' is all about," Agnello said. "It's not over until it's over."
Initially, the novel was self-published under the title "The Magic Glove." But Tate Publishing, a Christian publisher, contacted Agnello, signing him to a two-book deal. So now he's writing a sequel, he says.
(Agnello will also sign books at The Summit Barnes & Noble in Birmingham on Sunday, June 8.)

NEW YORK - Bonhams Madison Avenue salesroom was buzzing on April 15 with two highly anticipated auctions, A Prominent Collection of Fine Jewelry consisting of eighty-two exquisite pieces from a private collector, and a subsequent auction of Fine Jewelry consisting of 182 fashionable pieces sourced from various owners. A record number of international telephone bidders as well as eager attendees and internet bidders spurred on the bidding action. The day realized over $5.3 million in sales.
The auction of A Prominent Private Collection of Fine Jewelry, was positively exceptional. Featuring the jewels of a noted philanthropist and socialite who had personal relationships with many of this century's most storied jewelers, many pieces sold well over estimate with over 96% going to eager bidders.
Susan Abeles, Bonhams US Head of Jewelry said, "Bonhams New York is clearly establishing itself as a premier venue for high-profile private collections of fine jewelry. We're thrilled with the results and expect more opportunities to offer exceptional collections to the public in the near future."
Bidders were clearly impressed with the bold and colorful pieces on offer in this collection, particularly those from Bulgari. A fancy colored diamond and diamond ring weighing 21.07 carats from Bulgari was the afternoon's top lot, achieving $590,500. Other Bulgari pieces of note from the private collection included a colored diamond bracelet that realized $278,500 and an emerald and diamond necklace that sold for $182,500. An eighteen karat gold and ancient coin necklace from Bulgari, said to be a favorite of the consigner and a wardrobe staple, soared past its pre-sale estimate of $15,000-20,000 to sell for $67,300.
The Private Collection was followed immediately by an auction of Fine Jewelry sourced from various owners, which realized strong results for diamonds in particular. A rectangular-cut fancy yellow diamond weighing 15.45 carats and diamond solitaire ring achieved $302,500, while a pear-shaped diamond solitaire ring weighing 4.35 carats by Harry Winston surpassed its estimate to sell for $158,500. A natural fancy yellow color old European-cut diamond ring weighing 5.61 carats nearly tripled its pre-sale high estimate of $50,000 to sell for $146,500. The sale's cover lot, an Art Deco jadeite jade and diamond brooch from Mauboussin also sold over its estimate, realizing $122,500.
"We are seeing a heightened interest in white and colored diamonds and signed jewelry- this interest is compounded by significant increased international interest," said Virginia Salem, Director of the Jewelry Department at Bonhams New York. "Both auctions featured rare and unusual pieces that potential buyers covet."
Bonhams next Fine Jewelry auction in New York will take place on June 19.
Bonhams, founded in 1793, is one of the world's largest auctioneers of fine art and antiques. The present company was formed by the merger in November 2001 of Bonhams & Brooks and Phillips Son & Neale. In August 2002, the company acquired Butterfields, the principal firm of auctioneers on the West Coast of America. Today, Bonhams offers more sales than any of its rivals, through two major salerooms in London: New Bond Street and Knightsbridge; and a further three in the UK regions and Scotland. Sales are also held in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Carmel, New York and Connecticut in the USA; and Germany, France, Monaco, Hong Kong and Australia. Bonhams has a worldwide network of offices and regional representatives in 25 countries offering sales advice and valuation services in 60 specialist areas.

This was my 3rd time seeing The Grand Master of Funk. The first 2 were in big arenas. He brought the party to Yoshi's! The sound was great, but the stage was TO TO small for the whole band.
There were some low moments: George Jr. did a down and dirty rap that had the crowd walking out. It was disgusting and rude, I had to walk away. Worse than him though was the Masters grandson! The dude had NO flow.
A lot of people took bathroom breaks at that point,and I saw a lot of poeple sitting at the bar out side. The momntum was almost lost ,but they managed to bring it back for the final couple of tunes.
I'm glad I went

Quotes & Highlights
Check out George Clinton at his website, or see a video of Parliament-Funkadelic at Yoshi's in November 2010 on YouTube.
Think of George Clinton and you'll likely conjure an image of a crazy black man with rainbow dreads and garb befitting a galactic shaman literally barking at phat bottomed girls with a sub-atomic "WOOF!" This lovable nutcase is the legendary and internationally renowned grandfather of funk and the founder of the Parliament-Funkadelic MOB, taking the sonic innovations of James Brown and Sly Stone to both outer space AND Neptune while selling millions of records and concert tickets in the process. Quiet as its kept, however, George Clinton's initial approach to the ladies was crooning (when he wasn't cutting hair) as the leader of a standup vocal group he formed in `55 called The Parliaments, emulating the doo wop and love songs that were popular when he was in diapers (well…he STILL wears those on occasion).
What is there left for the North Cackalackee-born grandfather of funk to do after five decades of rockin' steady on the one? He can dip back to an era of sweet street corner soul that was his initial inspiration, take some folks back into time while blowing their minds.
Almost 70 years young, George Clinton has several other projects in the hopper, including a salute to Motown and a solo album by longtime P-Funk All-Star siren Belita Woods. The master is also mindful that most of the folks whose songs he's singing on Radio Friendly are no longer here, but he has no intention of joining them in Soul Heaven anytime soon. "I ain't going nowhere," he declares. "I feel like I'm starting over right now…for real!"

Local students awarded FFA Scholarship from Schuneman Equipment Co. and John Deere
The National FFA Organization, in partnership with John Deere, awarded a $2,000 scholarship each to Matt LaVoy and Blake Salmon, members of the Tracy Area High School graduating class of 2014. These scholarships are two of six sponsored by Schuneman Equipment Co. and John Deere Company through a special project of the National FFA Foundation.
LaVoy, the son of Gary and Joan LaVoy, plans to use the funds to pursue a physical therapy degree from South Dakota State University in Brookings, S.D. Salmon, the son of Jeff and Kris Salmon, plans to use the funds to pursue an animal science degree from SDSU. Both received awards May 7 from Troy Houselog, Tyler parts manager, during the chapter's annual FFA banquet.
"Our support of FFA programs is a long-standing effort we are happy to continue," said Tom Schuneman, general manager. "This scholarship is a great opportunity for students located in the communities in which we operate."
FFA scholarships provide financial aid to chapter members attending two or four year colleges. Scholarship recipients were selected from 6,315 applicants from across the country. Selections were based on the applicant's leadership, academic record, FFA and other school and community activities, supervised agricultural or work experience in agricultural education and future goals.

Barilla pasta to make 'inclusive' ads despite chair saying he would 'never feature an ad with a gay family'
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I very much welcome these moves by Mr Barilla.
Good! Guido Barilla and colleagues are learning!
Let's never forget our economic power. We must always loudly threaten to hit bigotry where it hurts: in the pocket!
See people can change. Sometimes just need a little help and understanding.
Great practice and lets hope many other businesses copy this going forward.
Well done Mr Barilla and thank you.
They declined to comment on sales? Translation – they have been hit hard by a boycott. And rightly so.
This proves that our money is powerful, too many people seem to think that boycotts do not work, when they are one of the most successful methods of changing opinions not only within companies by in the societies in which they operate.
LGBT rights around the world didn't only happen through protest and pride marches, it happened because the society was encouraged to change their views by open discussion. We would not be where we are now with gay marriage coming in all around the world if it were not for media and companies encouraging social evolution.
Countries where homophobia is still rife do not talk about sexuality, do not have gay characters on TV, and the governments hold to outdated religious views and force those views on their public – Italy, Russia, Poland, many African nations, Muslim nations… they are all socially backward and not evolving like the rest of us.
Obviously the sales went down. Good! :) I for one only change my mind if and when I see a happy gay couple in a barilla comercial.
Good to hear although it may not change his personal views. I suspect this also has to do with rival Italian pasta companies such as Bertolli which said it was all inclusive and would be happy to take Barilla's customers away from them. I think we can all assume this was more to do with economics, profits but glad he's learned something from it, hopefully.
Whatever motivated this turnaround it is a great result. It's good to know we do have the power to change things by sticking together and taking action.
As with all bigots, a threat to their income always serves to refocus their morals. Freaking hypocrites.
The meetings have helped open our eyes and ears to the evolution taking place in the world outside Parma. As a millionaire he must be living a very sheltered life
Has has never traveled, viewed television, listen to the news or opened a magazine.
What a crack of ////
I think it's too easy for those of us lucky enough to live in quite advanced metropolitan societies to forget what life can be like in the smug comforts of Italy's more prosperous provinces. I can assure you, the exposure to anything "unconventional" is severely limited – think Surrey in the 1970s.
Also, let's not forget how very recently unstereotypical gay characters have been part of UK TV – very very little before the last 10 years. I believe few European countries can come close to what we're so easily taking for granted here.
Lesson learned? I for one do not care, he is only worried about all of the money he has and is losing…still will not make a difference to me. Damage done.
I didn't start any earthquakes, or spawn any tsunamis, or start any raging fires anywhere in the world today, but man do I feel powerful after reading this.
Too late. Mustard after dinner.
A nice start, but I'm not about to buy anything with "Barilla" for quite awhile. Words are cheap, and in the US, corporations are experts at filling employee quotas for the sole purpose of being cloaked under "equality". They will hire dozens of minorities to sweep their floors at midnight for minimum wage, then concoct reasons not to promote them (personally happened to me at the gay CEO Cook's precious Apple with my proof and complaints left unanswered).
But, you never see these "token" employees in any public capacity. When true change is visible, then I'll reconsider my opinion. Until then, as long as he keeps proving "…he would never feature an ad with a gay family', I believe I will never serve an Italian meal with Barilla pasta. (Besides, it really does taste like the cardboard box it comes in. When possible always buy local.)

Carnival Triumph Cruise Review by VacationLover96: Pleasantly Surprised
Overall Member Rating
Pleasantly Surprised
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
As a Royal Caribbean regular, I was skeptical about cruising on Carnival as I have been told that RCCL is the way to go. I was especially concerned with the fact that the Triumph is an "old" ship (about 8).
Embarkation from Miami was simple and I was on board by noon. I had my room by 130P. I had my luggage by 6P.
The cabin size is GREAT. Much larger than RCCL and it really makes a difference. I had an outside cabin with a large porthole that was wonderful. King size bed. Large bathroom.
The rooms steward was invisible and kept things optimal at all times.
All of the food was very good. The crowds were not bad at all, even at the buffet areas. The reason for this being that there are many buffets to choose from. Poolside, rear pool, and all of the other choices (deli, pizza, chinese, grill). I never had to wait or look for a nice seat.
The shows were good except for a hypnotist act that was really boring and terrible. The magician was More great and his act was nicely done (good music, costumes, etc)
The dining room was good and the service was good. The London Dining Room second floor has ALL obstructed views which is very disappointing. I mean just about totally obstructed by life boats. This is rather unfair for those guest that are seated up there.
The activities were lacking. Not enough things to do and those that were offered had tired, unimaginative and unenthusiastic crew members running them. RCCL has much more to offer (poolside dancing, pool games, dancing under the stars, etc). This ship lacked in sports amenities for kids and adults. Probably due to age.
The stops were very nice. Grand Turk is really more like a private island. It is not like going to Turks/Caicos at all. Nonetheless, it was very nice.
I would cruise Carnival again without hesitation; however, i would get a new ship with more amenities especially when travelling with kids.
By the way, on the Triumph, the Camp Carnival was lacking in all aspects and for all age groups. Do not plan on it being useful. Less

LANSING, MI – Rain, sleet and even snow didn't keep hundreds of people from experiencing a Taste & Tour of Old Town Saturday afternoon.
From noon to 5 p.m. visitors experienced samples of diverse foods from Old Town businesses, and also had a chance to walk through half a dozen unique lofts.
"We like this a lot; we love the free food," said Michigan State University student Kelsey Wright as she sampled food with friends at the Sir Pizza Grand Café. "And the lofts are really cool. They're really artsy."
This was the sixth annual Taste & Tour of Old Town. Participating restaurants were Sir Pizza, Craving's Gourmet Popcorn, Artie's Filling Station, Spiral Dance Bar, Aggie Mae's Bakery and Deli, Olympic Broil, Portable Feast, Grand Grillin' and Mark's Gourmet Dogs.
Neva Austin, the owner of Aggie Mae's Bakery at 317 Grand River Ave., was passing out four different flavors of tasty cupcakes as her tour sample.
"This is a great fundraiser for Old Town and it really provides a lot of exposure for us," Austin said. "Most people coming through haven't necessarily been to Old Town, or been in to Aggie Mae's, so it's a great opportunity for us to share a sample of what we do with new people."
Executive Director Louise Gradwohl of the Old Town Commercial Association, which sponsors the event, said the turnout was great considering the unseasonably cold and snowy weather.
"We had just over 200 pre-sale tickets and people keep coming," Gradwohl said around 2 p.m. Saturday. "I think we're going to have about 300 to 400 people today, even with the snow."
Gradwohl said last year, when the weather was warmer, about 600 people attended the tour.
Tickets for the event were $15 for those who wanted both food and loft tours. Tickets for only the loft tour were $5 each.
Gradwohl said the OTCA hoped to raise as much as $3,500 with the event, and the funds will be reinvested in future Old Town events.
Among the lofts on display for the public to explore was the residence of Eric Sturdy at 1221 Turner St. He said he enjoys living amidst the pleasant hubbub of the Old Town community.
"It gives you an urban, downtown type of feel at an inexpensive cost," Sturdy said. "I enjoy this space down in Old Town, and the community feel, too.
"You get to know everybody (including) the store owners, you've got the River Trail right out your back door for exercise and it's a simple walk or cab ride downtown for entertainment. It's a great area to live."
This year, for the first time, the event also included live music in the Turner Mini-Park at the corner of Turner Street and Grand River Avenue. Local musical acts included: Desmond Jones, The Distorted Waltz and The Bard Owls.

/ 2008 Idaho Conservation Security Program (CSP)
Loading Tree...
Free D&B DUNS Numbers
System for Award Management (SAM)
Some of Idaho's best conservation stewards in a selected watershed will have the opportunity to be rewarded for their hard work.
The Conservation Security Program (CSP) sign-up will occur from April 18 to May 16, 2008. This year's eligible watershed is the Little Lost.
CSP is a voluntary program rewarding those farmers and ranchers meeting the highest conservation standards on their lands.
Farmers and ranchers in this year's watershed will want to gather their farm records and application information now. Producers interested in determining their eligibility should first review the "Basic Eligibility Checklist" (below) and then the CSP Self-Assessment Workbook (link below).
A public meeting and workshop will be held in the Little Lost watershed to help producers prepare.
Find out if your land falls inside the Little Lost watershed.
General Map
Detailed Map
Producers with the majority of their land inside the boundaries of the selected watershed have met the first criteria for eligibility in CSP. Producers must fill out a Self-Assessment to apply for the program. By going through the CSP Self-Assessment Workbook, potential CSP participants will get a good idea about whether they are eligible for CSP at this time. Producers who may not be eligible can find out about programs that can help them achieve a higher level at conservation so that they may apply for CSWP in the future.
Producers need to provide records of their conservation work. Idaho has developed a Conservation Records Book to assist with organizing records for the program. The self-assessment workbook is required and the Idaho CSP record book is a valuable tool to organize your farm and ranch records.
The following are listings of offered CSP enhancement activities that may be selected along with the certification requirements. Please keep in mind that these are offered nationally and may not be possible for you to complete in your location. Care should be taken in the selection of these activities. For example, before agreeing to the enhancement activity "Recycle 100 Percent of Waste Lubricants" you may wish to find out where the closest approved multi-lubricant recycling center is located. If may not be feasible to haul your waste lubricants if your nearest location is several hundred miles away.

4-H Robotics
Turbo has been participating in a Robotics club this year and he absolutely LOVES it! Since it's been such a big hit, I wanted to take a minute to share some information with you as well. They have 3 tracks to work through, Virtual Robotics, Junk Drawer Robotics, and Robotics Platforms.
The program Turbo is currently doing is called "Junk Drawer Robotics" because the items used can typically be found in your junk drawer!
The group is filled with boys ranging from age 6-12 and they all team up to work together on projects. They are currently working through the Robotics Level 1 "Give Robots a Hand". They'll eventually move onto Levels 2: "Robots on the Move", and Level 3: "Mechatronics". Each project (teacher manual) book costs around $7-$9.
In order to complete the program, each student needs a 4-H Robotics Youth Notebook ($5.95). The notebook is used to record ideas, collect data, draw designs, and take notes on their projects. Along with the main curriculum books, they also supply facilitator resources (Free pdf downloads) as well to help you teach through the lessons in the notebooks and help with supply ideas.
In our group, the boys gather in teams of 2-3 to to design and assemble their projects, but you could easily adapt your "group" to fit your homeschool family. Or if you're feeling brave, you could even offer to lead a robotics group for some friends as a co-op!
Marshmallow Catapult:
Here they made a "Trebuchet" style swing arm marshmallow catapult. They used weights and gravity for their power source, and finally tested it out. They measured how far it went and if it hit their target depending on how far away they were.
Weighted Balance:
In Activity F they created a weighted balance, learned about Torque (Force x Distance), and then used beams of different lengths to control their robotic arm movements on their balance. They also recorded what happened when they altered their pivot points.
They've also created a 3-D tic-tac-toe game, and are currently in the process of designing a robotic arm using levers.
One way I know Turbo loves this program?
As soon as he comes home, he starts rummaging through my drawers looking for "supplies" to make something. he usually tries to replicate what he's made in the group, but typically ends up making something else as his project evolves. I love to see his mind cranking away at how to make something work. I think the practice of logical thinking of process and design is really enriching his education!
Want some more information?
Level 1 Give Robots a Hand: This level covers pneumatics, arm designs, and three-dimensional space. It also includes form and function, scientific habits of mind and engineering design process.
Level 2 Robots on the Move: In this track, the students will cover concepts such as friction, basic electrical power and motors, engineering constraints, gear systems and buoyancy.
Level 3 Mechatronics: This level introduces simple electronic components, circuit building, and basic elements of programing and instruction for robotic computer control.
The great thing about these courses is that they mostly use easy to find, everyday items to build the projects. It's great to have students work in teams if possible, and creates a wonderful learning experience, instills investigative skills, and fosters creative thinking!
Disclosure: I just wanted to make it clear that this was not a sponsored review, nor did I receive anything free in return for posting. Turbo is really enjoying this course, and so we really wanted to share some of his projects with you all and hopefully give you some ideas of how to add fun, hands-on experience, and creativity in your homeschool!
My son just started 4H this year. I wish I would have known about this option. He chose photography but would have enjoyed this one. Maybe I'll go ahead and order the book anyways. Is this something he could do at home that doesn't have to be a 4H project?
Yes, you can order and do it at home! You don't have to do it with a 4-H group, ours is being led by a friend in our local homeschool group and she offered it as a group for boys. But you can just get the books and do it with your own kids.
This looks great! I'll save this for my 2 yr. old. He'll love it when he gets to understand it.
Is this just for boys? My 7 year old daughter loves science projects and building things. She'd love something like this!
Hi Stephanie,
No way, you can totally do this with girls too! I just happened to have a friend offer a group for boys, but you could easily purchase the book and do it with your own kiddos!
This sounds like something my son would love to do. I didn't know it existed. He is 8 yrs old. I wonder if it would be appropriate for a 6yr old going into 1st grade next year. We have a friend that might make a good team with him. It is awesome that you don't have to do it with a group, but it would be a good excuse for my son to "have" to work with a partner/group since we don't get out much and he is very much an introvert (like me) until he feels really comfortable with something/somebody.
thanks for the info.
Hi Erica,
My son is 9 and interested in giving it a try in robotics. We also join a 4-H group but I don't think they are keen on doing robotics, so I am thinking of setting up a group of my own.
I just wonder how easy/difficult it is to do this. You mentioned that one should be able to find everyday household stuff to do the project? In Level 1, they mentioned pneumatics etc. Do we need to buy a motor or something?
Thank you for sharing about 4-H robotics. We were researching into that for about a year now.We are also thinking about Legos WEDO but the price seem expensive.
Any advice you give will be much appreciated.
Sorry for a late comment, but just ran across the site. The JDR curriculum is about common stuff and recycle and low costs when possible. The pneumatics uses plastic syringes and tubing like for air line in an aquarium. You can download free resource guides on materials, tools and safety, and facilitation at the national 4-H mall web site. just google 4-H Junk Drawer Robotics and you should be able to find it.
Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for posting! We'll include this, since my little one wants to really become a 'ninja inventor' 😛

Editor's note: This is an updated version of a previous story
FLINT, Michigan — The Flint School District unveiled its new strategic plan today, which school officials say will give the district a clear direction and help them stay on track.
The plan, which cost about $140,000, is focused in four main areas -- student achievement, stakeholder satisfaction, community collaboration, and accountability and transparency.
Some of the key initiatives within those areas are an implementation of a standardized curriculum, expanding advanced placement courses and improving parent and community involvement in every school.
"I would like to encourage the board to pat yourself on the back," Superintendent Linda Thompson said at a June 29 committee of the whole meeting when the plan was approved to go before the full board. "This is something that is a beginning."
The plan was created through a partnership between the Board of Education, administration and the Center for Collaboration and the Future of Schooling, an education consulting firm based in Independence, Ohio.
Thompson described the plan as a "blueprint" for the district, giving them a document on which all their decisions will be based.
Part of the plan is supposed to allow the public to hold the district accountable to that pledge.
It includes the implementation of a quarterly "scorecard," where community members can rate the progress of the school -- a process Thompson said is stillbeing worked out. Thompson also said under the plan the district will also give "benchmark" reports at 100 days, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months, showing how well the district is sticking to the plan.
Not all board members were completely satisfied with the plan. During the June 29 meeting Vice President Antoinette Lockett (assistant secretary-treasurer at the time) said, "It gives us a path with no direction."
After announcing the plan to the public July 23, Lockett said she still wished the plan was more specific in the programming and funding for the coming year.
"I know you can't plan for four or five years down the road, but for this coming year, I think there should be some specifics. And I'm sure they're coming. They have to come." she said.
"I'm not wary of the strategic plan, but I'm a detail person. I would have liked to see a little more detail on where we're going with this," she said.
Among the nine goals listed to accomplish during the first 100 days are creating a planning team for developing an at-risk student intervention program, developing the community scorecard system and meeting with Flint city government to discuss the need for greater collaboration between the city and school district.
Tekera Boyd, who has two children in the district, remembers receiving information about the plan in the mail but said it didn't have much have much of an impact on her. She said she's talk with teachers who are concerned about future classroom sizes and said she hopes the plan does what it says it will.
"I like what I see," she said, staring at an outline of the plan.
"I hope (it will help), with all them schools closing. I really do."
The plan is available for the public to see on the Flint School District Web site, www.flintschools.org.

Garn won the 800 meters in 2 minutes and 14.99 seconds. She doubled up and won the 1,500 meters in 4:52.01. Garn's time in the 800 is the seventh fastest in the state this spring.
Also in Rome, Brianna Richardson of West Genesee broke the school record in the pentathlon with a score of 2,392 points. Tammy Brodie of Liverpool won the event at Rome with a score of 2,718 points, the fifth best total in the state this year. Haylie Virginia of Phoenix was right behind with 2,626 points, the ninth best score in the state.
Ryan Manahan of Marcellus blistered the field at the New Hartford Invitational on Friday to win the 3,200 meters in 9:15.74. Nicholas Leclair of Liverpool was a distant second in 9:57.44. Manahan's time is the third fastest in the state this spring.
Casey Bunce of Westhill won the same event at the Running Cadet Invitational in Hilton this past weekend in 9:53.18. Corey Wilkinson of Bishop Ludden won the discuss throw at that meet with a heave of 143 feet, 8.5 inches. Wilkinson was second in the shot put at 48-05.00. His shot throw is 19th best in the state.
Nick Ryan of Fayetteville-Manlius ran the mile in 4 minutes, 11.67 seconds at the Chittenango Invitational on April 26. Its converted time to the 1600 meters is the fastest time in the state this spring. Manahan has the sixth fastest time in the state in 4:16, also at the Chittenango meet.
Katie Brislin of Fayetteville-Manlius has turned in the fastest mile in the state this spring with a time of 4:58.92 at the Chittenango Invitational.

"I can be what I want to," Al Jarreau crooned Saturday afternoon (May 3) in the Jazz Tent at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, reminding his audience that after more than 30 years, a song such as "Boogie Down" can twist and shake and satisfy.
Now 74, with a voice that is less lustrous than gravelly, Jarreau had moments that were undeniably charismatic. One had to be patient, though, because much of his set sounded more haphazard than fully considered.
There was abundant light humor, hearty doses of trademark scat, and, for his numerous admirers, lots to bask in. I was less than thrilled. Still, after listening to Jarreau for about an hour, I had to concede that he seemed as eager as ever to be on stage, teasing his audience and sidemen with ongoing winks and smiles.
Jarreau has more than a passing New Orleans connection. "What a wonderful history we have together," he said. "My daddy grew up over on Annunciation (Street)."
Fatherhood was a motif of his set; some of his best moments emerged via "Heart's Horizon," a song he wrote when his own son was 4 years old, evoking images of painted skies and "bright shiny horizons."
Newer numbers such as the Brazilian-inspired "Devil Face" revealed how Jarreau isn't content merely to reinterpret his material. "I feel pretty good," he allowed. "Every day is Thanksgiving."
His listeners murmured their assent. No doubt most of them were taken, too, with his percussive, staccato vocal effects sprinkled throughout the early evening.
On June 17, Jarreau will release an album in tribute to pianist George Duke, who died last August at age 67. It will be something to investigate and, hopefully, to savor.

Law gives terminal patients 'right to try' unapproved drugs
- published_in
- Print Edition
Dubbed "right to try," the legislation makes it easier for patients with terminal illness to access drugs not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but that have passed the FDA's safety requirement.
The bill was sponsored by state Rep. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins, who spent more than 20 years in the pharmacology industry before entering politics. Giving patients the option to try experimental treatments has the potential to save lives, she said.
Ginal introduced the bill in February and has heard from many Colorado families expressing support. It passed with bipartisan support, but remains controversial nationwide. Louisiana, Missouri and Arizona are considering similar measures.
It takes more than 10 years and $1 billion to get a drug approved by the FDA, Ginal said, and terminally ill patients rarely have enough time to wait a decade. "Right to try" allows patients to apply directly to the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the drugs to try to get them before they get FDA approval.
The FDA testing process has doubled since the 1970s, Ginal said. At that time, getting a drug approved took only four or five years as opposed to 10.
A federal law already allows patients to get access to experimental drugs in terminal cases, but they must apply to the FDA, Ginal said. Getting approval takes three to six months and, again, terminal patients may not have that kind of time. Allowing patients to go directly to the manufacturer will decrease the wait time, Ginal said.
Patients would have to confer with their doctors to make sure that using an experimental drug is the best route, and would be fully aware of potential side effects or lack of efficacy, Ginal said.
Drugs that have been through Phase 1 of FDA testing are deemed safe, but the second two rounds of testing check for a drug's effectiveness.
Using unapproved drugs provides a choice for those patients who are too sick to enter clinical trials, which allow some patients to get access to new treatments. Terminal patients are not chosen for clinical trials, Ginal said.
When conducting a clinical trial, researchers want to find the healthiest possible candidates with the condition a new drug is meant to treat, said Charles Siler of the Goldwater Institute, a libertarian-conservative think tank that helped write the legislation.
Only 3 percent of people who apply for a clinical trial are accepted, Ginal said.
Critics of the legislation say that accessing experimental drugs will create a false sense of hope in terminal patients or that unscrupulous people or companies may attempt to pass off bad drugs.
But patients will only be able to access drugs that have made it through the first round of FDA testing, Siler said, and their physicians must have honest conversations with patients to make sure their expectations are realistic.
Other criticisms include that expanding access to experimental drugs will negatively impact the existing clinical trial and drug testing structure, but data could be collected from patients who take drugs under "right to try" that could be used to augment data retrieved from traditional testing processes.
While "right to try" will give patients another option for treating their diseases, there is no guarantee that the drugs will work, Siler said.
Access to these drugs probably will save only a fraction of people, but that fraction is worth it, he said. About 1.6 million people a year die following a terminal illness in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"I can't say this is a cure-all," Ginal said, "but it gives people a choice."

Hal Ballard rode up to Lincoln Street Elementary School this afternoon wearing a bright yellow jacket and riding a dark green single-speed bicycle with back-pedal brakes. Ballard, who is the executive director of the Washington County Bicycle Transportation Coalition, was at the school to teach a group of 33 elementary school students how to ride a bike.
The program, which Ballard co-taught with Nancy Nelson and Steve Boughton, is part of the Hillsboro Parks and Recreation Department's after-school BLAST program. Last year, the group taught seven bike skills clinics. This year, they're teaching four. The classes last three weeks and teach kids how to choose helmets and bikes that fit and how to ride safely.
Though every clinic has at least a few kids who have never ridden a bike, Ballard said the class changes that.
"By the time we get them out in the street riding, they know what they're doing," Ballard said. "That's just exciting."
Today's class started with lessons on how to fit a helmet. The kids watched a video and then Ballard, Nelson and Boughton showed the kids one-on-one the different ways to adjust a helmet. The students -- three are named Anthony -- were impeccably well behaved. They were quiet during the video but answered questions quickly as Ballard asked them.
"Who here has crashed a bike?" Ballard asked the group.
Most of the students' hands shot up.
"I should raise three hands," Ballard said. "You never know when you're going to crash. That's what the helmets are for."
When Ballard and Nelson pulled out the Top Gear helmets -- each student earns a free one in the class, thanks to a donation from the local Rotary Club -- the kids celebrated.
"Sweet." "Awesome!" "I want that silver and black one!"
As the students waited in line for their fitting, a student named Burke twisted around. "The anticipation is killing me!" he said to no one in particular.
"When are you going to bring the bikes?" one of the Anthonys asked the instructor.
"Friday," Ballard said.
"That means we have to wait two more days!" Anthony said before running off to tell his friends.
The class continues Friday. I'll be on hand to take some pictures and make a video as some of the kids try riding a bike for the first time.

Publicity With Pizzazz
Publicity with PizzazzEffective publicity is the best way to promote your organization and its programs and special events. Giving your publications a professional look isn't as difficult as you might think. Simple graphic art techniques are easy to learn and may add the extra pizzazz your material needs to be noticed.
Many computers have desktop publishing programs such as Microsoft Publisher or Adobe Pagemaker, even Microsoft Word provides some graphic arts capabilities.
Chances are at least one person in your organization will be familiar with one of these programs. If not, the time it takes to learn the basics will be well worth it for your organization.
For the most professional look, you will want to print your publication on a laser printer.
Design Tips:
- K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) - Busy, cluttered pages are hard to read. Don't overwhelm the reader with too much information. Also, don't hide important basics like time/date of event.
- Limit your fonts and sizes. Many people over do it when they first sit down to a computer with dozens of fonts and type sizes. Try to limit publications to two or three fonts, and for larger blocks of copy, make sure your font is especially easy to ready.
- Leave white space. Make sure you have adequate margins on your page. Also, don't cram information together. Leave space between elements on the page.
- Always spell check. This is a quick, easy way to make your publication much more professional.
- Include your organization's name and logo (if you have one). Also, don't forget the name of any co-sponsors.
- Save your work! You may not think you'll need to make any changes, but for the cheap price of a disk, you can make sure you don't have to re-do your entire project.
Clip Art:
Clip Art is a non-copyrighted art that can be purchased in art supply stores; bookstores; and office supply stores. Clip Art books usually cover a wide range of topics are easy to use.

City taps brakes on Strawberry Plant Park project
It was dry outside City Hall Wednesday evening, but about 30 citizens arrived at the council meeting dressed to abandon ship.
The life jacket-clad islanders flooded the meeting in symbolic protest of the city's proposed shoreline restoration project at Strawberry Plant Park. Several spoke in favor of greater shoreline access and preservation of historic structures on the site.
The city was ready with a response.
City Manager Mark Dombroski said the city plans to organize a joint meeting with the Bainbridge Metropolitan Park and Recreation District board to review plans for the park, and take comment and questions from the public.
"This project has been going on since 2004 and a lot has been forgotten and a lot has been misunderstood," Dombroski said.
The park district and city jointly manage the property. The park district will be developing the upland portions.
Dombroski said he had also instructed staff to cease active planning on the project while continuing the permitting process, until a firmer consensus on the park's future could be reached. The project has already missed its fall construction window and the spring of 2010 is now being targeted.
The city's current site plan would create new marshland and nearshore habitat by removing existing concrete bulkheads and a large portion of shoreline.
Island historian Gerald Elfendahl has been actively campaigning for a more active "Cannery Cove Park," and appealed the city's determination of non-significance for the project. Hearing Examiner Margaret Klockars will make a decision on the appeal of the city's SEPA determination by Aug. 7.
Elfendahl said he was pleased to hear a new dialogue was starting.
"We've had a lot of discussion about Cannery Cove, and we're glad to hear that we'll have a discussion with you," Elfendahl said.
Several islanders joined Elfendahl in calling for greater waterfront access and historic preservation.
"There's something magic that happens when water gets involved," Ed Kushner said. "I think we need to keep it so we can all use it easily and freely."
But a number of citizens were on hand to counter the life-jacket crowd.
Several said they supported the city's plans to restore habitat for salmon and other marine fauna and flora.
Ian Bentryn recalled that Strawberry Plant Park had come to the city as part of a land swap with a developer for John Nelson park.
The current Strawberry Plant site is beautiful, Bentryn said, "except for the fact that it's a mess of concrete dumped into Puget Sound."
But he said the city's plans could unlock its potential.
"I think that John Nelson could be proud of the park that will be created both for people and wildlife," Bentryn said.
Rod Stevens called for a renewed public process and said the rift the project had created was noteworthy.
"It's alarming to me that on an island that values historic preservation and environmental preservation, we have a project that pits the two groups against each other," he said.
A date for the informational meeting has yet to be set, but Dombroski said he hopes to schedule it in the next two weeks.

10,000 to bicycle 200-plus miles in STP Classic this weekend
Bicyclists from the area and throughout world are riding in this weekend's 34th annual Group Health Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic (STP).
Nationally recognized and named "one of the best cycling events in the nation" by Bicycling Magazine, Cascade Bicycle Club's STP begins Saturday and ends Sunday. The 200-mile route, designed to be completed in one or two days, takes riders from the University of Washington in Seattle to Holladay Park across the street from Lloyd Center in Portland.
The ride will draw 10,000 participants, ranging from kids with parents up to one 90-year old. The STP is Cascade Bicycle Club's largest fundraising event to benefit bicycle education, advocacy, commuting and riding programs.
The sold-out event will welcome riders from 45 states and five other countries including Canada, France, The Netherlands, the UK and Malaysia. Many are first-time riders, but one person – Jerry Baker of Seattle – has participated every single year since the ride began.
Of the 10,000 riders, nearly 2,500 make the entire 200-mile trip on Saturday in one push, arriving into Portland on Saturday evening. The remaining participants spend the night near Centralia, host of the midpoint festival.
Official rest stops, staffed by volunteer groups, are established in Kent, Spanaway, Lexington, and St. Helens, Ore., to provide riders with food, drink and a place to rest. In addition, there are many other "Mini Stops" along the route that are fundraisers for local community groups selling food and drink to riders.

This painting by the early sporting artist James Seymour is one of the artist's most sympathetic portraits. The sitter is depicted with a hound in a hunting field. An old label on the verso reads 'Paternal Ancestor (Russell)'; however, no precise identification of the sitter has been made. Given Seymour's associations with Newmarket, it is possible that the sitter may be a junior member of the family of Admiral Russell (created Baron Shingay and Earl of Orford for his victory over the Dutch at La Hogue; died 1729). Admiral Russell acquired the manor of Chippenham Park, just outside Newmarket. Seymour was passionate about racing and is believed to have owned racehorses himself.

The detailing of the costume, such as the firmly-tied breeches-lacings and the buttoned leather strap above the knee to keep the breeches from riding up, is painted with the artist's customary meticulousness. His very precise records of the animals, clothing, equipment and locale exactly fulfilled his patrons' requirements.

Reviews for Himalayan Children's Charities Inc

I have been involved with HCC for 10 years, and on the board of advisers for six years.
HCC has committed time, energy and resources to over 50 orphaned and destitute children in Nepal. Due to the recent earthquakes, that number will greatly increase, and HCC is stepping up to provide resources and education for these children who have lost homes and family.
What sets HCC apart is that they provide not only the basic education, food, shelter, and health care, but they have created a home for the children with a family-like environment, holiday celebrations, and emotional support. The children receive classes in communication, team-building and essential life skills. Educational field trips and tutoring services are available for them.
With a literacy rate of only 57.4% in Nepal, HCC's commitment to provide education makes a huge difference, not only in the lives of the children in their care, but for the future of Nepal as a whole. This commitment is extended to include college or technical training. HCC students are studying to become health assistants, lab technicians, nurses, pharmacists, IT engineers, hotel and business managers, and accountants.
I'm glad to be a part of this wonderful organization that contributes so much.

It is a pleasure and privilege to support HCC for the past 9 years through my sponsorship and being a member on the board of advisers. The work they do is immense. Just watching Man Maya grow into such a wonderful, loving and talented young woman gives me such hope for future generations. When one child's life is saved and transformed, the ripple effect cannot yet be measured, but it certainly can be imagined. I have had the pleasure of watching over 50 children's lives be transformed. Imagine the ripple that has caused!. How inspiring!

I have been involved with HCC for 8 years now and it has been a wonderful experience on all levels. The child we have been sponsoring has developed into a beautiful, confident, and capable young woman and we are so proud of her accomplishments and what she brings to her community. With this organization everybody wins and I am proud to be a part of it.

Originally I just wanted to help my best friend and her husband with their charity. I had no idea it would have such a huge impact on my life. Since then I have become a sponsor for 6 years and also a board adviser. Himalayan Children Charities is an organization that provides orphans and destitute children in Nepal with an education and a safe place to grow up in, thus changing the future of these children and the country. I started sponsoring a 12 year old girl. When she was 15 I had the opportunity of visiting her in Nepal along with all the other children HCC sponsors. It was a life changing experience. She is now 18 years old and is in college pursuing her education in business. We are deeply connected and stay in touch via email. I feel blessed to have her in my life. HCC is a wonderful charity. Please support HCC. You will make a huge difference in the life of destitute children in Nepal. They are the most loving children I have met and so grateful for the help they receive.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Himalayan Children's Charities (HCC) is an outstanding charitable organization, where sponsors can actually see the extraordinary difference they are making in the lives of orphaned and abandoned children. Being a board member at HCC has given me a sense of accomplishment and joy that no other volunteer job has given me. There is no safety net in Nepal, so HCC truely creates a future for 50 kids. The first class schooling, group home and family atmosphere creates secure, self-confident and grateful children. The founders encourages a personal relationship between the sponsor and the child that is life changing. The founders instill in the children the importance of giving back to Nepal, so they all want to become doctors, teachers, social workers, engineers etc, and HCC supports their goals through college. Also, the kids are also taught to live in a family setting and learn cooking, laundry and taking care of the younger children---things that orphans never can learn in an institutional setting. Finally, 100% of all donations go to the care and education of the children, and that is something that is extremely rare in the charitable world. HCC is truly a class act, changing the world one child at a time.

During an appearance before the PennLive/Patriot-News Editorial Board last week, state Attorney General Kathleen Kane explained why her office proceeded with its defense of Pennsylvania's VoterID law, but controversially referred a defense of Pennsylvania gay-marriage ban to the Corbett administration's Office of General Counsel.
Kane, a Democrat, and Corbett, a Republican, have clashed over the decision. As recently as last week, Corbett again said Kane, as the state's top law enforcement officer, couldn't pick and choose which laws to enforce.
Kane said her office had a "fundamental disagreement" with the administration over the statute's constitutionality and said she had a legal and ethical responsibility to refer the case back to the administration.
Kane said she believes it violates the Constitutional guarantee to equal protection under the law.
"Under the constitution, no state or political subdivision can discriminate against any person. You can't do it on the basis of race, gender or sexual orientation. Our constitution does not carve out anyone."
When it comes to the VoterID law, Kane said "showing ID at the polls is not per se unconstitutional. We decided as an office that we should pursue that [case]."
Asked whether her office had become politicized, Kane said all her decisions, including the gay-marriage defense, were made on legal grounds.
"I know our decisions at the Office of Attorney General were the right ones," she said. "They are based on fact and duty and the law."

Services are intangible goods that, just like houses or online stores, can be well designed. Because of this intangibility, people are not fully aware of service quality, and often dismiss opportunities for improvement. Service Design is a new way of thinking and provides a lot of benefits to the end user experience when applied to sectors such as banking, transportation, communication and healthcare.
Some paper prototyping work to share
Yay! Finally my portfolio website has been updated with my latest work. What you will see here is mainly my work as a UI Designer and Accessibility/Usability consultant. Hopefully I will also be uploading my amateur photography work really soon but in the meantime you can see my Photos on Flickr. So here it is my website: www.etnikastudio.com
Another news is that I'm switching from Textmate to Sublime Text which so far it has been great. I have found this tutorial for starters that it's very helpful. Any thoughts, please share!
It's a great pleasure to announce one of the most important launches that Zendesk.com – where I work – has done so far, not only for the new look and feel of the application but also for the usability and interaction improvement that it has.
"The new Zendesk provides customer service agents with rich information about the customer –the history of their tickets, if they're active on the company forums, details about their organization – all within the same page they are using to work on the ticket."
I invite you to take a look at this new article that talks about that: The New Zendesk: Simplicity

Creative Cooking Tips
- Use a pizza cutter to cut everything at mealtime: pancakes, french toast, grilled cheese, fish sticks, sandwiches...anything that needs to be bite size. It's much faster and easier than using the knife and fork method.
- Place bay leaves in kitchen drawers and in flour or sugar containers to keep crawling insects away.
- Watch from the oven window to conserve energy because the oven temperature drops by 25 degrees every time the door is opened.
- When opening canned goods, open the end that has been sitting on the shelf. The ingredients come out more easily and that end is usually the cleaner of the two.

No score was kept in the game as the structure was to pit the offense vs. the defense for approximately 50 plays and then work on red zone offense and the two-minute drill.
"I was extremely happy to go as many plays as we did and not get anyone hurt and for the first time have some full special teams work. If there's one guy that's clearly had an outstanding spring it's Connor Barth. He's kicking the ball as well as anyone I've ever been around."
Barth made all three field goal attempts, connecting from 25, 33 and 22 yards prior to the scrimmage.
Many of the Tar Heels' offensive leaders were either freshmen or sophomores. Yates, a redshirt freshman from Marietta, Ga., led the team in passing, redshirt freshman Anthony Elzy finished second on the team with 37 rushing yards and sophomore Hakeem Nicks had 82 yards receiving.
"Speed and inexperience is a pretty good assessment of this entire football team," said Davis. "If we're not the youngest team in the country, I'll be shocked."
The Tar Heels have 10 scholarship seniors and 44 of the 69 players currently on scholarship are either freshmen or sophomores.
Defensively, linebacker Martel Thatch led the team with six tackles, while defensive tackle Kentwan Balmer had two sack and three tackles. Others with sacks included defensive end Hilee Taylor, Tavares Brown, Kendric Burney, Aleric Mullins and Garrett White.
On a personal note, Davis, who had a cancerous growth removed from his mouth in February, told reporters he had one more chemotherapy treatment remaining.
"I feel great and I'm looking forward to spring recruiting."

good snacks
I have a 9 year old boy. He has had stomach problems for awhile know. He does not like to eat fruit when we tell him to. My sister is a Dr. and told him to eat more fruit or drink this gross drink.
School started on Monday and I sent 2 piece of fruit which he did not eat. How do you get a picky 9 year old to eat more fruit? He is my one and only.
dena vogel
We actually don't eat alot of fruits, but we eat veggies everyday. I do agree that fruit is important, but I am happy with my son if he eats the veggie. It does keep him regular. I had a major issue with my son having bathroom problems a couple years ago.
How about dried fruit like raisins, craisins, dried apples, etc?
When you say you sent two pieces of fruit, were they whole? Would he eat something like sliced apples sprinkled with cinnamon? Fruit salad drizzled in honey or yogurt? Have you tried lots of different types like grapes, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple?
Will he drink a smoothie? What about fresh berries? Will he eat vegetables? Have you tried taking him to the store and pick out his favorites?
Smoothie has been mentioned - great idea
Dried fruits mentioned - but maybe in a trail mix
Freeze the fruit (and/or smoothie) into a popsicle
Also - there's this great cookbook....called Deceptively Delicious. (I borrowed it from my library) and it is FULL of recipes that sneak in fruit and veggies and no one knows except the cook. Amazing desserts and foods with things you've never thought of. Worth giving it a shot....
There are also some ALL FRUIT gummy "fruit snacks" that are made from 100% fruit! That actually taste GREAT!
like these:
There are other brands as well... many "organic" are made with just fruit... and actually taste better than many of the common brands with high fructose corn syrup.
I have also given my son prune juice. It's not the tastiest thing in the world, but it works wonders.
