Got a comment yesterday on the blog from "SteveB" who says he's a Yankee fan since the mid-60s and has been Ledger reader for years. Said he's a big Moss Klein fan. Well, so am I.
Anyway, SteveB asked some questions about the job of a baseball writer. Here's part of his post:
I've always been very curious about the lives you lead during the season-- the amount of time you need to cover the team adequately, how do you get your interviews, what kind of living arrangements you have, do you stay at the same hotel as the team for example, how do you keep from going stircrazy, in your own way do you also feel the "dog days" of August, how much of your personal life has to be put aside during Feb-Oct, is it a strain on your family, does the paper give you time back during the offseason..... stuff like that. No one ever talks about that.
We'll take SteveB's questions one at a time, and happily:
1. During the regular season, media are allowed access to the clubhouse starting three and a half hours prior to the game. So, for a regular 7:05 pm start, the clubhouse opens at 3:35. It stays open until one hour before the game (in our example, 6:05), though they generally ask us to leave when the whole team is on the field for batting practice, so the clubhouse workers can clean up, vacuum, etc. So we get two and a half hours of access to the players pregame, then after the game we can talk to them up until they leave and go home.
It's a lot of access, especially compared to other sports, and sometimes the players don't love that we're in there that much. But I contend that part of the reason baseball is so revered and has such a storied history is that we, the writers, get to spend so much time around the players, getting to know them and their stories so that we can communicate them to our readers, thereby allowing our readers to get to know them as well.
2. We get our interviews, basically, by wandering up to players at their lockers and starting conversations. Very often, if I'm working on a particular story, I'll go up and ask questions that pertain to that story. But when you're a beat writer around the team regularly (as I was from 1997-2000 and am again this week), it's often beneficial to have casual conversations that aren't interviews. That's the best way to get to know players, and sometimes you'll trip over a story just because you struck up a conversation or developed a relationship with a particular player.
In the end, that last thing is the most valuable. The whole point of covering the baseball beat is to develop relationships -- with players, coaches, managers, scouts, front-office people -- so that they trust you and are willing to give you information. Because that's what it's all about -- getting information so we can pass it along to our readers. That's why we have these little cards that let us into the ballpark and the clubhouse.
A lot of people think we just go to games, write about them and go home. But the job of the baseball writer is to collect as much inside information about how the game is played and why certain things happen, then relay that information back to you, the reader.
3. On the road, most writers make their own hotel reservations. Some like to stay with the team, thinking it gives them a chance at added face time with the players. Many like to stay only at Marriotts, because it allows us to accrue points that we can then use to take our families on vacation or buy big-screen TVs. Hey, every job has perks, right?
4. Yes, it can make you crazy, going from hotel to hotel every night. There were mornings when I was a beat writer when I'd wake up and not know what city I was in. A lot of those hotel rooms look alike. That was scary stuff.
One day, when I was on the Marlins beat for The Palm Beach Post, I woke up in St. Louis, went right to the airport for a pre-dawn flight, made a connection somewhere (Cincinnati?), landed in Houston and went to the hotel to check in. I had about 20 minutes to drop my bags, shower and change before going to the Astrodome, so I did, then went and covered the game and got back to the hotel after midnight. Got on the elevator to go up to my room and....had no idea what button to push. No idea what floor I was on, no idea what my room number was.
I eventually went to the front desk with my key and threw myself on their mercy. Told them I had no idea what room I was in and asked for their help. I gave them my ID and they directed me to my room. "It's OK," they said, looking apparently at my Marriott member profile. "It looks like you travel a lot."
Wasn't that the truth.
5. No doubt, the season wears on the writers too. The years I covered the Yankees, August was a tough month, because by then it was a sure thing that they were going to the playoffs and there wasn't going to be anything interesting to write about until October. Those are the weeks and months that require you to be at your most creative, and your energy is at its lowest point.
6. Sadly, a lot of people in our profession have broken marriages, and I'm sure one of the reasons is the time that the job forces us to be away from home. When I was covering the Marlins in Florida, I was a 23, 24, 25-year-old guy and I couldn't date, because I had no time and I was never home. Tough to establish a relationship like that.
Fortunately, I met my wife while she was covering Yankees spring training in 2000 for another publication. And being in the newspaper business herself, she understood the demand my job would make on my time and our life together before she signed up and took my last name. That's not to say my being away has never caused us any stress, but I'm lucky. She understands. And these days, well, I don't travel nearly as much as I did when I was on the beat, so it's much better. Especially now with kids in the picture.
7. As for the off-season, yeah, that's when we get our vacation. But it's not as if we get to shut it down between October and February. Off-seasons with the Yankees are always insane, from trade chatter to free-agent signings to shifts in the ownership hierarchy and, this past year, even a change of managers. There's plenty of baseball to write in the off-season, and in many ways that's a more stressful time than the season is, because you have to rely on phone calls. You can call every source you have every day for 10 days in a row, but if you decide to skip a day, that could be the day the big news breaks, and then you're toast. At least during the season, you basically see everybody you need every day at the ballpark, so you're more likely to trip over some bit of information. In the winter, well, you just have to make sure you make enough of those calls.
Hey, thanks, SteveB. I kind of dig talking about the job. You're right -- I don't think a lot of people understand what, exactly, we do. It is, in so many ways, a dream job. But it is a job, complete with stresses and deadlines and hassles like any other.
Of course, like I always say, the view from my office is a baseball game, and it's hard to beat that.

Following the success of Tanglin Tennis School at Minden Road (TTS), we believe it is time for expansion, to increase the popularity of tennis in Singapore. Over the past 10 years, TTS has produced some of the U-12 girls that are ranked in Asia, like Natasha Loh, Ashley Yim, Jeovanne Canace (current SPEX U-12 Champion) and Maxjine Ng. The opening of Tanglin Academy at Sports Park @ Turf City will provide the most comprehensive tennis programmes ever developed for children 10 and under (10s)
Tanglin Academy formally launches 'Tennis…Play and Stay' in Singapore. Equipped with the right court size, the right equiment, the school hopes to bring tennis to the kids. The campaign, aimed at increasing tennis participation for 10s, centres around the slogan 'Serve, Rally, Score' and promotes tennis as easy, fun and healthy.
Play and Stay was introduced worldwide by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and involves the major nations (including all 4 Grand Slam nations), 6 Regional Associations, the Tennis Industry Association (TIA) as well as the ATP and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. The United States Tennis Association's (USTA) QuickStart Tennis play format is also similar.
The campaign is primarily aimed at starter players of all ages, encouraging them to use the slower red, orange and green balls in both training and competition. The campaign shows that tennis can be easy and fun if starter players use the slower balls on smaller courts. Play and Stay generally covers players aged 4-10 and the ITF advises a progression through red, orange and green for all players in this age range. From January 2012, for the 10s competitions, these coloured balls have replaced the traditional yellow balls and must be used with the appropriate sized courts.
Introducing tennis to young starter players in the right way is critical. As well as helping players to develop a range of physical skills, the red, orange and green stages, gradually teach tactical and technical elements of the game on smaller courts using slower balls. These gradual changes allow kids to enjoy tennis at a younger age.
Tanglin Academy is proud to be the first private tennis facility to be equipped with 6 mini courts for Play and Stay, alongside 4 full size courts and 5 tournament courts. The academy will be headed by Elvin Chee (member of USPTA, ITF) in association with TTS. TTS will continue to provide training for the juniors above 10. Together, both Tanglin Academy and TTS will provide structured tennis training, enabling the natural progression from starter to competitive junior tennis.
In addition, Tanglin Academy will also focus on elite training program, classes for adults, corporate and coaching certification. Tanglin Academy and TTS are committed to support Singapore Tennis Association in promoting the continuous development of tennis in Singapore.

The French photographer-Jean-Baptiste Tournassoud- was born in 1866. He became acquainted with photography in the mid 1890s, at which time he also became associated with the Lumière brothers, inventors of the cinematograph. He was one of the first to make color photographs with the Lumière Autochrome plate. After a distinguished military career Tournassoud retired from the army with the rank of Major.
Tournassoud was one of the finest practitioners of the now lost art of animal photography in addition to the many exceptional photographs taken during his military career . He also excels in the art of the landscape, the portrait and the staging, in a characteristic style where humor is often present.
His photographic career spanned over nearly 60 years, and he left a considerable body of work, indexed in many museums and collections.
The Association
This site is created by the "Association des Amis de Jean-Baptiste Tournassoud" (Association of the Friends of Jean-Baptiste Tournassoud). The goal of the Association is "to promote the photographic work of Jean-Baptiste Tournassoud by placing it in the context of its time and in the history of French and World photography".

The reorganization has strengthened the previous structure from six product divisions into four areas of business, each headed up by a vice president of marketing. Two new sales vice presidents, one each for national accounts and for regional accounts, manage the company's sales.
"The new organization will further enhance customer focused business that provides consumer product solutions to our valued retail partners under the Casio brand name," said Terry Terada, Chairman & CEO for Casio America, Inc.

Maybe actually more of a case than anyone.
But according to his coach, the Michigan point guard is more than just extraordinarily consistent stats.
He's a leader. He's tough. He's a veteran in sophomore's clothing. And those reasons, above all else, is why John Beilein would pick his point guard as the national player of the year.
"This is not a young man playing with a senior-laden team," Beilein said. "He's not a young man playing with a dominating center that was un-injured all year long. We lost Jordan (Morgan) for six or seven games in the middle of our season, and it's been him and Tim Hardaway and a bunch of guys just learning on the run.
"For him to carry us (with) the courage he's had, and the will and the fight that he's had in games with such tremendous poise? Look at him, you don't see much emotion because he's focused. Someone who does that without a (large) supporting cast of juniors and seniors (is impressive)."
Burke was crowned the Big Ten Player of the Year on Monday, and is considered a major contender for all three major national player of the year honors -- the Wooden Award, the Naismith Award and the Oscar Robertson Trophy.
Almost since the day Burke said he'd be returning for his sophomore season, Beilein pointed at him and told him to go lead.
He's only a sophomore, he's not even 21-years-old. Yet this was his team, from start to finish. A team with five freshmen in its rotation and only two juniors that have seen significant time throughout their careers.
Not only did Burke lead, but he led at a high level, according to Beilein.
"He's played like a senior, veteran point guard the whole year," Beilein said. "Yet, he's 20-years-old."
Of course, Burke's numbers aren't anything to shake a stick at either.
He leads the Big Ten in assists (6.8 per game), he's second in scoring (19.2 per game), first in assist-turnover ratio (3.5), fifth in steals (1.6) and fourth in minutes (35.2).
He's been a leader, but according to junior Jordan Morgan, the numbers don't really lie.
"The numbers don't really lie, man," Morgan said. "No. 1 in the country in assist-turnover ratio, 15 or more points in every Big Ten game, double figures in every game this year. And not just that, doing it on a really good team.
"Beyond that, though, his leadership. His poise on the court has really been something we all look to. Not just this year, last year, even as a freshman. His poise and confidence is beyond his years. The numbers speak for themselves, but if you want to go beyond the numbers, his leadership for this team -- for a really good team -- has been rock-solid all year."

Fans of the TNT series Leverage were given some bad news just before Christmas last month, when TNT canceled the series right before its Season 5/series finale, "The Second David Job". Given the abrupt ending of the show, series creator/executive producer Dean Devlin recently revealed that they may make a Leverage movie.
"That would be fun to do. That's definitely a possibility."
He also said the producers are looking for another network home, even though the odds of the series coming back are slim.
"We're going to try to shop it around now and see if there is any other interest elsewhere. Look, it's a long shot but we have a lot of love for the show and the fans have been tremendously supportive. If we can find a way for it to continue we'll pursue."
If Leverage does get a second chance, Dean Devlin said there will be no shortage of story materials. »

A deadly weather system that spawned tornadoes, hail storms and flash floods across the Midwest and South flooded New Jersey's roadways this morning, trapping drivers and closing expressway exits, according to local officials and State Police.
More than a half dozen rivers in the northern and central parts of the state were reported to be at flood stage mid-morning Sunday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Up to four inches of rain hit the northern part of the state, while parts of central New Jersey received up to three inches of rain, said David Robinson, the state's climatologist.
In Hillsborough, a man's car splashed to a halt in four feet of water on the Basilone Memorial Bridge early Sunday. Authorities were able to rescue the Bridgewater resident and get him to dry ground, but the car would have to wait until the water receded, local police said in a statement.
Two New Jersey Turnpike exits were closed into Sunday morning, State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones said, after a pile of construction dirt oozed onto the exit 7 ramp and a deep pool of water shut down exit 14C. Both exits were open by 8 a.m., Jones said.
Robinson said the Raritan River is expected to crest at nearly 30 feet this afternoon, the Millstone river is forecasted to crest at nearly 12 feet this evening and water levels in the Passaic River are expected to exceed more than nine feet Monday evening.
But Robinson said the weekend's rainfall will not produce the massive flooding that plagued New Jersey last month when rains and melting snows caused the fifth-worst inundation of the Passaic River basin on record.
"In the Passaic basin, [flood levels] are notable, but they're not at the levels they were last month," Robinson said. "But that does not eliminate flooding problems."
More light rainfall is expected to appear sporadically in the state beginning tonight and possibly extending through Wednesday, said Lauren Nash, a National Weather Service meteorologist, who added that the rainfall is not predicted to be enough to aggravate current flood levels.
The rainstorm capped off a week of wild weather across the United States. The storm system originated in the western part of the country and rampaged Oklahoma, North Carolina and Virginia with tornadoes and hail as big as softballs. In North Carolina, more than 62 tornadoes were reported.
As of this morning, officials have reported at least 39 people in six states died as a result of the storm system.
"New Jersey," Robinson said, "got off lightly."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Pit-roasted pig is the traditional centerpiece of a Cuban Nochebuena (Cuban Christmas Eve supper)--a holiday that stirs the same sort of emotions--and digestive juices--in a Cuban heart that Thanksgiving does in ours. Come Christmas Eve Day in Miami, the sky fills with fragrant smoke, as thousands backyard barbecue buffs--everyone from brick layers to bankers--cook whole young pigs that have been marinating overnight in tangy adobo (garlic-cumin-sour orange marinade). This recipe calls for a more managable size cut of meat: a fresh (uncured) ham, which has the dual advantage of being more widely available than whole pigs and of being able to fit in your refrigerator.
Cubans don't generally go in for smoke flavor, but you could certainly add a couple of cups of soaked wood chips to the coals or the smoker pan while the pork cooks.
Serves 16 to 20
For the adobo marinade:
1. Have your butcher split the pig through the belly. The backbone should be partially split, so you can lay the pig open like a book. Make shallow slits in the pig or ham, skin side and meat side, using the tip of a paring knife.
2. Mash the garlic, salt, oregano, cumin, pepper, bay leaves, and olive oil to a paste in a mortar and pestle or puree in the food processor. Add 1 cup sour orange juice. Rub this mixture all over the pig, forcing it into the slits. Place the pig or ham in a plastic bag with the remaining sour orange juice, sherry, and onions. Marinate overnight, turning several times.
3. Build small fires at the opposite ends of the grill. The heat should be medium-low, about 275 degrees. Place the pig on the grill, skin side up. Cook tightly covered for about 2 hours. Place the wood chips in the smoking pan and replenish as needed. Invert the pig and baste with any excess marinade. Continue cooking until the skin is very crisp and the meat is fall-off-the-bone-tender. Baste often with leftover marinade. The pork will be safe to eat when the internal temperature reads 160 degrees on a meat thermometer. Cubans like their pork really well done, about 180 degrees. Replenish coals and wood chips as necessary.
4. To serve, pull the meat away from the bones. Discard the bones. Chop the meat with a cleaver and cut the crisp skin into shards. Serve the meat and skin with Cuban bread and mojo.
No, it's not pronounced "mo jo." Mojo ("mo ho") is Cuba's barbecue sauce, a sort of cumin and fried garlic vinaigrette that's splashed over every imaginable dish, from palomilla (Cuban steak-check out show 202's "rundown page" for a recipe) to lechon asado (see above). Cubans make their mojo with the acidic juice of the naranja agria (sour orange). Sour oranges look like bumpy greenish-orange oranges and can be found at Hispanic grocery stores. But excellent mojo can be made with fresh lime juice mixed with a little orange juice for sweetness. Serve the mojo in a bottle or jar with a tight fitting lid, so you can shake it up before pouring.
Makes 1-1/2 cups
1. Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and a pale golden brown. Do not let brown too much, or the garlic will become bitter.
2. Stir in the lime juice, water, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stand back: the sauce may sputter. Bring the sauce to a rolling boil. Correct the seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Let cool to room temperature, then stir in the cilantro.
Serve the mojo in a bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well before serving.

Tip Us Off
TIME WOUNDS ALL HEELS: There's a juicy rumor making the rounds that former vice president Dick Cheney bought a home in Santa Barbara. I'd very much like for it to be true. It comes from a plausibly reliable source, so it might even be accurate. Although I have yet to confirm this via county real estate records, I'm going to just assume it's correct. I met my source while we were both riding our bikes to the synagogue for a memorial service. I got tangled up in some side streets, momentarily losing my way; she did not. That alone establishes her reliability as a source. She had come to this info from an unnamed guy she knows who claims he did some work on Cheney's home. Why should I be squeamish about asserting such information as gospel on the basis of such unsubstantiated "fact"? Clearly, Dick Cheney never was.

Iran 'not open for business': Washington
February 6, 2014, 12:04 am TWN
WASHINGTON--U.S. officials declared Tuesday that Iran is "not open for business" and vowed to scrutinize the companies heading to the Islamic republic since it entered a temporary nuclear agreement.
Testifying before skeptical lawmakers, President Barack Obama's administration detailed initial sanctions relief to Iran, including the transfer of US$550 million in frozen oil revenues as part of a six-month nuclear agreement.
But Wendy Sherman, who is spearheading the diplomacy with Tehran, said that the United States was warning the growing number of business delegations heading to Iran that sweeping sanctions remained in place.
"Tehran is not open for business because our sanctions relief is quite temporary, quite limited and quite targeted," Sherman, the under secretary of state for political affairs, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"It doesn't matter whether the countries are friend or foe — if they evade our sanctions, we will sanction them," she said.
Sherman said that Secretary of State John Kerry spoke to Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius about a major French delegation that is visiting Tehran, telling him that the visit — while from the private sector — was "not helpful" in sending the message that "it is not business as usual."
The delegation from the French employers' union Medef is the largest from Europe since the November nuclear accord and includes representatives from major companies such as Total, Lafarge and Peugeot.
Addressing the delegation, Deputy Oil Minister Ali Majedi encouraged foreign companies to return.

Auburn jumped to a 17-7 lead on Alabama with just 3:58 remaining on a 1-yard quarterback sneak by Brandon Cox, who may be on his way to becoming only the second Tiger quarterback ever to beat the Tide three straight times.
The officials signaled Brad Lester scored the play before, but a video review put the ball at the 1. Cox scored drove in the end zone from there.
The second half has been a battle of field possession, but Robert Dunn turned it when he caught an Alabama punt and returned it 31 yards to the Tide 44. The Tigers, except for one pass play, ran it down the field for the score.

School budget cuts on the way
MARYSVILLE School District Finance Director Jim Baker said officials must slice between $700,000 and $900,000 from the 2008-2009 budget.
The school board plans a public meeting on the proposed cuts 6:30-7:30 p.m., May 14, in the board room of the Educational Service Center, 4220 80th St. NE.
Budget cuts each spring are an increasing challenge for us, said Superintendent Larry Nyland. Our cuts this year are less than the last several years, but still difficult. Each year we have fewer and fewer options to make cuts, we see greater impacts that affect classrooms.
As he discusses cuts, Baker repeatedly talks about cuts in basic education and in specially funded programs. Basic education consists of pretty much what it sounds like, namely the day-to-day operations of the district which largely are funded by the state.
Baker hopes basic education cuts can total roughly $541,634.
Among other steps, Baker is recommending slicing library help, eliminating a so-called elementary school specialist and reducing district nurse supervisors from
three to five.
He also talked about eliminating the replacement of certain district equipment and cutting a print shop position.
Elementary school specialists serve a number of educational support functions and Bakers hope is smaller district schools can share staff.
Baker said he had created all his recommendations after discussions with other school administrators, teachers and district union leaders.
Looking beyond general education, Baker said last week cuts still are under discussion but those recommendations should be available by the May 14 public hearing. Some areas being studied include, in no particular order, special education, student transportation and food services.
As school officials begin their latest budgeting process, Baker said this is the fourth year running that they will need to be looking at cutting expenses. He put the blame largely on the state.
For example, Baker said legislators included in the latest round of state dollars a 4 percent salary increase for school staffers, but that money does not fund raises across the board in all programs offered by the district.
We have to treat everybody the same by contract, Baker said.
With a total budget projected at about $105 million, the district has a reserve of about $3.5 million. To be what he would consider truly fiscally sound, Baker believes that reserve should be doubled to $7 million. He definitely does not support the idea of dipping into the reserve.
While $900,000 might not represent a huge percentage of the districts overall budget, Baker again noted this is the fourth year officials are going to have to make cuts.
We are coming up with fewer and fewer choices, he said, echoing Nylands comments. Baker further predicted that unless changes are made in state funding, more cuts would be needed locally in the future.
There is no chance that the district, even if officials wanted to, could approach Marysville voters for more local dollars. State law prevents the district from collecting any more local money than already is coming in.
Weve already done everything we can do locally because of the levy lid, Baker said.
Essentially, the district cannot collect more than 24 percent of its budget locally no matter what voters have approved. For example, during the current tax year, the district could be collecting roughly $16.6 million based on voter-sanctioned levies. But with the 24 percent limit, collections will reach roughly $16 million, about $500,000 shy of the amount voters approved.
Baker added the levy collections do not rise with property values, something he called a common misconception. Further, while district voters have approved, in the past few years, dollars for various construction projects, by law that money must go into those projects and cannot be used for operating expenses.
Among others, the projects include the new Getchell High School and the options campus on the Tulalip Reservation.
While Baker is recommending certain cuts, he also will present the board with numerous other potential means to reduce spending. Those possibilities include everything from reducing counselors or custodians, to cutting various support programs and, as has been mentioned in the past, closing the Marysville-Pilchuck High School swimming pool.
The board has the final word and can follow any or none of Bakers recommendations.

Give Advice: Should I Be Worried About My Guy's Female Friend?
My boyfriend of almost 7 months has a female friend that he claims is like a sister to him, but they way that they communicate, he talks more to her than his own family. She will call or text really late at night and sometimes the entire time I am with him. I live in New York for school and he lives in my home state and I wouldn't mind the texting so much if we didn't live in different states and got to see each other more often. Sometimes the texting and calling interrupts our time set aside as a couple to communicate with each other. It also worries me that he constantly calls her things like "sweetie" and "love" and they are constantly telling each other that they love each other. I have talked to him about it before, but nothing seems to change. Should I be worried or am I just over reacting?

Weekend Discovery: Bigelow Hollow State Park
Just because it's located in the Quiet Corner doesn't mean we can't talk loud about Bigelow Hollow State Park.
Combined with the adjacent Nipmuck State Forest, Bigelow Hollow State Park is one of the larger recreation areas in the state, offering 9,000 acres of gorgeous forest and water that are open to hikers, boaters, fishermen and all variety of outdoor enthusiast.
The big draw here are the three ponds—Bigelow Pond, Breakneck Pond and Mashapaug Pond. Of the three, Mashapaug is the biggest at 300 acres and most popular, especially with boaters and those who like to fish (as it is regularly stocked with trout). The more remote Breakneck Pond—you can only get there by foot—is ideal for those who like to hike, as it's a 6-mile loop to go all the way around. Bigelow Pond is the first one you encounter when you arrive at the park, and draws picnickers and those who enjoy a scenic view.
The park also welcomes mountain bikers and bird watchers, and even though there is no beach or lifeguards, scuba diving is allowed in Mashapaug Pond, where divers enjoy the exceptionally clear water.
On a sunny summer weekend, the park can get busy, so make sure to get there early to get a good spot for enjoying one of the best places Connecticut has to offer.

A proposal to build 192 apartments on vacant land near the Target store on Ann Arbor-Saline Road is headed to Pittsfield Township's Planning Commission this week for consideration.
Planning commissioners will consider the final site plan for the Oak Valley Apartments project at its 6:30 p.m. meeting on Oct. 17.
The project is proposed by a group of business partners who also own the northern section of the Oak Valley Centre, a shopping center anchored by Target near Ann Arbor-Saline Road and Oak Valley Drive. Other tenants in the center include Office Max, Chuck E. Cheese's and Arbor Fit.
The plan for the Oak Valley Apartments calls to construct 16 buildings with 192 apartment units on an 18-acre vacant parcel behind the Chuck E. Cheese's on the northern portion of the property.
The developers also revealed long-term plans in 2012 to eventually redevelop the center so it's more pedestrian friendly and connects the commercial and residential uses. (Read more about the redevelopment plans)
"We'd like to create a more pedestrian friendly, walkable environment," Andy Jacob of Oak Valley Centre LLC told The Ann Arbor News in Dec. 2012.
"The center was built in a time where the thinking was different; the thinking was retail uses are obnoxious and you should hide them," he continued.
The 16 Oak Valley Apartment buildings would have 12 units each, and each unit would include a two-car garage. Rental rates for the apartment units haven't been determined yet, but Jacob said they would have nice amenities, such as wood floors, island kitchens and stone countertops.
There are three wetlands on the site, totaling about 2.41 acres. The project would require a wetland use permit.
After receiving input from township planners, the developers reconfigured two buildings in the proposal so that all buildings would share a common access drive off Oak Valley Drive.
The developers also eliminated a community area from the plans, so the township is asking them to submit plans for a park/community space to the south of the Oak Valley Centre to compensate for the loss of usable open space. The installation of that open space would commence with the redevelopment of the shopping center, according to the plans.

Artist: Picture Me Broken
Album: Mannequins (EP)
Who's behind the pointed face
The broken child that you can't erase
A sip to hush the sorrow
Heart as empty as your bottle
The last you felt something
From the one who left you bleeding
I know how you feel alone,
Lost in a thousand people
You look so perfect in disguise
I know you're broken up inside tonight...
I want everything that lies behind
Your beautiful disguise tonight
Medicate yourself and hide
To give them all a show tonight
Disguise, disguise, disguise...
I'll breathe in off your sorrow,
Fill your empty space so hollow.
Remove the mask, is all I ask
And I will always follow
You look so perfect in disguise
I know you're broken up inside tonight...
It's only make believe,
But I believe it, I believe it
You're only make believe
But I believe in you...

Obama's Warfare: 'From Power To A Policy'
The nature of war has changed, and so has the president's purview. The country increasingly relies on elite special forces, rather than armies, and drone technology to target its enemies. How those operations are authorized has also shifted — it's more covert and less defined.

West Coast this morning participated in the rookie draft, recruiting Subiaco's Callum Sinclair at no.12 and Jamie Bennell from Melbourne with its final selection, no. 27 to round out its list for the 2013 season.
National recruiting manager Rohan O'Brien shares his insight below:
"I think we bolstered our list in some respects through the trade period, so once we got into the draft and the rookie draft it was really a matter of identifying the talent available and how we thought it could fit into things long term. We think we're fairly well placed for ruckmen with Scott Lycett coming through, so the short-term thing of bringing in another ruckman wasn't in our thinking."
Pick 12: Callum Sinclair (Subiaco)
"We've tracked Callum for a few years now and thought that the time had come for an opportunity. He is a young developing tall and he can play ruck, forward and maybe even a little bit back. Going across from Port Melbourne to Subiaco this year, he acquitted himself in the WAFL really well and played consistently good footy."
Pick 27: Jamie Bennell (Melbourne)
"We rated Jamie fairly highly in his draft year (2008) and he's played 50-odd games of league footy and played some reasonable games amongst them. He's coming off a knee injury, which wasn't really a great concern to us because we're not picking Jamie to play tomorrow. He offers some variety, playing forward and playing back and with his talent he should be able to pinch-hit through the midfield as well."

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission released maps of the initial single-lane traffic patterns that will be put into effect next week along both directions of Route 22 in the vicinity of
the Easton-Phillipsburg Toll Bridge.
Work crews are expected to begin the process of setting up the project's 2014 work zone on the toll bridge and adjoining portions of Route 22 around 9:30 a.m. Monday, March 24.
The work zone will be over a three-day period, eventually moving all traffic to single lanes in each direction on the downstream (southern) side of the bridge adjoining portions of Route 22 in
The single be 10-foot toll bridge. Additionally, there will be short, narrow on Route 22 westbound, beginning after the Thursday rush.
The first will shift westbound traffic into eastbound lane shortly after the toll plaza in Phillipsburg.
The second will the traffic back to the two-lane westbound freeway after 4th Street in Easton.
These geometric conditions are likely to have a slow-down effect on westbound traffic, particularly when trucks decelerate to travel through the crossover locations.
For this reason, westbound motorists should consider allowing additional time to reach their destinations, particularly during weekday evening peak commuting periods – 4-7 p.m.
While eastbound motorists will be spared of lane crossovers this year, they still will be impacted once uninterrupted, around-the-clock single-lane restrictions go back into effect.
Eastbound motorists should be particularly wary during the morning period – 6-9 a.m., Tuesday, March 25, as face new single-lane for the first time this year.
The accompanying map shows what the traffic pattern for the project's 2014 construction will look like once it is put fully into place.
The travel lane restrictions identified in maps will be follows:
• Route 22 East – Taper to a single lane will begin after the 13th Street interchange and slightly before Cemetery Curve in Easton. Eastbound traffic will be limited only to the right lane through downtown Easton, across the toll bridge and into Phillipsburg, where traffic will return to two lanes.
• Route 22 West – Single lane – already in place – begins before the toll plaza on the bridge's Phillipsburg side. After fanning out at the toll plaza, westbound motorists will encounter a taper into a single shortly after the toll plaza. This lane will then cross over to the current left eastbound lane, remaining in that lane across the toll and along Route 22 through downtown Easton to a crossover back to the westbound around Fourth Street.
• Route 22 west ramp to Route 611 – ramp immediately crosses the toll bridge Easton
and is scheduled to close shortly after 9:30 a.m. Thursday, March 27.
• Route 611/Riverside Drive beneath Route 22 – This crescent-‐shaped roadway crosses beneath Route 22 immediately west of the toll bridge and will be shut down after 9:30 a.m. March 31.
While this initial prevailing travel configuration will be modified as work progresses during the year, both directions of Route 22 will be limited to continuous single-lanes of travel until mid-December, when the bridge rehabilitation project's 2014 work stage is scheduled to end.
Further project work is expected to be conducted into the spring of 2015, but these remaining construction activities should require only periodic short-term off-peak travel restrictions.
More information on the Easton-Phillipsburg (Route 22) Toll Bridge Rehabilitation Project is available at drjtbc.org/tollbridgerehab.
To enhance communication with the public, the Commission also has established a toll-free question/comment line – 1-855-FIX-SPAN, a Twitter handle – @22tollbridge, and a project-specific email address – firstname.lastname@example.com.

South Whidbey schools seek volunteers to save history
South Whidbey School District administrators and board members are hoping to preserve the cherished class photographs displayed in the hallways at Langley Middle School.
During the monthly school board meeting in March, staff members sought input from the district's board of directors on how to preserve and digitize the photos.
Staff members at the middle school hoped to begin the project this spring, following an earlier plan to paint the hallways. After examination and further discussion on the condition of the photos, it became a much bigger project than anticipated.
"It's a big project that keeps on evolving," said Linda Racicot, board chairwoman.
Principal Eric Nerison described a variety of obstacles needed to restore the photos. Some are yellowing, have edges that are curling or are so worn down the names of the students are unreadable. The types of frames and glass of the photos also contribute to the damage, he said.
The images feature graduating high school classes from 1931 to 1981.
The walls of the hallway were scheduled to be repainted last summer, but it was delayed pending the photos' restoration. Nerison said he hoped to begin the process soon, and that he wants the community to have better access to the photos, currently high above the lockers, in the future.
The school board suggested help be sought from the community for the project, which includes saving digital copies of each photo, scanning, and possibly reframing and restoring the images.
Director Damian Greene wanted community input. He expressed concern about the placement of the photos in the future and wanted to have the photos returned to the same place as they were.
Director Rocco Gianni agreed, saying that as a former teacher at the middle school he often saw people bring their children and grandchildren to the middle school to look at the photos.
"These are like family pictures," he said. "I think it's important how we handle it."
To volunteer with the restoration and digitizing of the photos, contact Director Damian Greene at firstname.lastname@example.com

As it plans additional branch locations in 2010, West Michigan's largest credit union is coming off a solid 2009.
Lake Michigan Credit Union more than doubled net income last year while recording double-digit volume growth.
President and CEO Sandy Jelinski sees an even better year shaping up in 2010, as the economy shows signs of improvement and generates greater loan demand.
"We feel it. I feel people getting more comfortable," Jelinski said. "We've been through a couple bad years, and people can only get held down for so long."
The Grand Rapids-based Lake Michigan Credit Union — after opening locations last year in Allendale and Jenison in Ottawa County and in Kalamazoo — has 25 offices.
The new Kalamazoo office, a small location that will expand this year to a full-service branch, marked the credit union's first foray into that market. A second Kalamazoo location is planned for 2010, as well as a new office in downtown St. Joseph that's scheduled to open in May.
"We studied that area quite well and felt we could fill a need there, too," Jelinski said.
In planning the new locations, the credit union is following market opportunities it identifies and is "not going crazy" with branch development, Jelinski said.
"We're not on this big expansion mode," she said. "It's very selective and slow."
Financially, Lake Michigan Credit Union recorded net income of $15.6 million for 2009, which compares with $6.2 million in 2008, according to a 2009 financial report filed with the National Credit Union Administration.
Assets grew 23.1 percent during the year to $1.83 billion from $1.48 billion, and loans, driven largely by growth in mortgage lending, increased 15.7 percent to $1.34 billion from $1.16 billion.
Business loans to members declined 7.4 percent to $22.4 million, reflecting the economy's toll on the demand for small-business lending.
Membership grew to more than 158,000 as of Dec. 31, up from 136,000 a year earlier.

#Reds acquire from Phi Wilson Valdez for Jeremy Horst, Nick Masset signs 2-year deal, IF/OF Willie Harris signs minor deal with ST invite.
Interesting. Between him and Janish, we should have a solid bullpen. Err...
In all seriousness, I'm not sure I get that move. He's no better than Janish at the plate or in the field. Just depth?
Great pickup IMO. I like Valdez a heckuva lot more than Janish, and Horst is easily replaceable.
Cool, there's no way we lose in 19 innings this year!
Strange move. Valdez is a somewhat useful piece, but he's certainly not an upgrade over Janish.
2 year deal for Masset, that I like, depending upon the $'s.
Not a huge fan of the Valdez move. He's not really an upgrade over Janish.
It kind of depends on how much they have to pay Valdez, for me.
It also tells me they're not sold on Janish or maybe Janish is going to be traded. Did they agree on a contract, because I thought Janish was arbitration eligible?
What are you going to trade Janish for? A six pack?
And they're probably not sold on Janish because he's really, really bad at baseball.
Yeah, Janish is around 800 k or so. I don't recall the exact figure. Fay posted it though.
Valdez turns 34 in May.
He and Janish bolster our bullpen in long games when we run out of pitchers. LOL.
I disagree. There's not a wide disparity between the two players, but I think Valdez is a better hitter and runner. He's good defender. And while I know this may not register with all observers, he plays with more energy. The guy knows his role -- I think Janish sees himself as a failed starter -- and as a Dominican he'll be a nice caddy for Francisco after this year (assuming Rolen retires). Valdez played for a winning club and did a nice job filling in for Rollins last year.Quote:
He's not really an upgrade over Janish.
I'm not even close to a follower of WAR. But considering just how poorly Janish played last year (by FAR his worst season ever), he had a WAR or 0.0 in around 350 pa's. Wilson Valdez, 300 pa's last year.... -0.2.

Band history still to come.
More Underground Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
BUGEN HAGEN is the name of a new Thrash Metal combo from Germany and offers us its second indie release, the mini CD "Expulsion". The material of the band is not really bad, but nothing sticks. Not that the guys thrashed ahead like maniacs, no, they have enough variety to offer, but the songs don't really get to you, meaning: They don't grab for your balls!
You can listen to the songs without any problems, but just as easily they are forgotten again. To get a good deal you'll have quite some work before you, guys!!! (Online February 29, 2004)

"Killer Joe" and "Pitch Perfect" were both shot in Louisiana, but they couldn't be more different. One is a searing and brutal black comedy. The other is a light and fluffy bit of cinematic cotton candy. Both have their merits, however -- and both land on home-video this week. They top today's (Dec. 18) survey of notable new DVD and Blu-ray releases:
Killer Joe
4 stars, out of 5
Matthew McConaughey stars in an unflinchingly ugly -- but downright mesmerizing -- New Orleans-shot tale, one that plumbs the depths of human immorality and, along the way, offers a dash of subtle commentary on just how far we, as a 312 million-member nuclear family, might have lost our way. Directed by William Friedkin and based on the play by Tracy Letts, it tells the story of a young man (Emile Hirsch) who puts his kid sister up as collateral when hiring a hitman to kill his mother for the insurance payoff. Naturally, things don't go as planned. What results is a film with brutal and troubling violence -- including a particularly hard-to-stomach sexual assault -- but the performances are universally strong in what ends up being a fearless and affecting film. As difficult as it is to watch, it is also among the best locally made films to hit theaters in an already-impressive 2012. Juno Temple, Thomas Haden Church and Gina Gershon co-star in a film that lands on home video Friday (Dec. 21) instead of the traditional Tuesday.
Lagniappe: Read a full review of "Killer Joe" here. Read an interview with "Killer Joe" co-star Thomas Haden Church here. Watch the "Killer Joe" trailer here.
DVD extras: Director's commentary, featurette, SXSW Q&A with cast, SXSW intro by Friedkin, trailer. Feature running time: 1 hour 42 minutes.
Pitch Perfect
3 stars, out of 5
Lagniappe: Read a full review of "Pitch Perfect" here. Watch the "Pitch Perfect" trailer, above right.
DVD extras: Deleted scenes, extended scenes, commentary, featurettes. Feature running time: 1 hour 52 minutes.
Star ratings are taken from staff and wire reviews that appeared in The Times-Picayune, and are on a five-star scale. They do not apply to bonus DVD content. (BR = Blu-ray). For full reviews of rated movies, see The Times-Picayune's A-to-Z movie review archive.

Verizon Wireless Starting Targeted Advertising This Week
Verizon Wireless customers should be receiving an e-mail, text message, or smartphone notification soon informing them about Verizon's new "Verizon Selects" program.
Verizon Wireless will be tracking your data usage, including web browsing, location, and app data, in order to send you targeted advertisements sent to you either by standard mail, mobile advertising, e-mail, or texts.
Obviously this sounds like an imposition on its customers, which is why Verizon Wireless is giving you the option to opt out of the program. So whenever you receive that e-mail, text, or notification, you can simply decline to be opted into the program.
Verizon does offer coupons and rewards for opting into their program, but in exchange for receiving constant ads, it may not be worth it in the end.
It's nice that Verizon Wireless is making their targeted advertising program optional, but it's most likely because they're forced to do so. So Verizon Wireless customers, look out for that notification and if you know something we don't, please let us know!

Instant Fiverr Goldrush Review
As promised I have gone over Instant Fiverr Goldrush and I will go into the review. However, before I do I would like to say that although I usually review products that I find useful, once and awhile there comes a product, service, or report that I either have mixed feelings about or dislike. That being said on with the review.
Instant Fiverr Goldrush is 9.97 and you really get what you pay for. What I mean by that is that the report contains some good tips, but I would hardly call it a Goldrush. I guess the flashy name helps to sell the product. I by no means mean to say the product is bad, it is not, however some of the tips it gives you are very elementary.
The report is good to the complete newbie who wants to make money on Fiverr and hasn't a clue how to do it.
It starts with the basic information of signing up, getting a PayPal account, etc. It then gives you 20 tips on how to make money on Fiverr; my guess is if you look at what others are doing on Fiverr you can figure it out.
A couple extra things about the report include a list of free resources where you can advertise your Fiverr gig as well as other sites like Fiverr. This is great information if you are not getting any response to your gig on Fiverr. If you are having that kind of trouble and do not know how to get people to your Fiverr gig to get enough sales you may like the guide.
Instant Fiverr Goldrush is a definite newbie report and while there is nothing wrong with it, and could help those who are new online, I did not find anything spectacular in it.
So there you go my honest review…if anyone has differing opinions on it I would love to hear them….but if I offended anyone….be nice:)
5 Responses to "Instant Fiverr Goldrush Review"
Thanks Jenny! So nice to see a review which is actually honest and helpful. Really appreciated! 🙂
I do use Fiverr as a buyer and LOVE it but I agree, just logging on and exploring was enough for me – as a buyer at least – to understand what to do with it. There may be other tips here and there but time is valuable and we need to save our time for the more vital resources when we can.
I also used Fiverr. It was OK for me, but needed some time to go through it all.
I have bought through 2 people on Fiverr. Haven't used it much to promote myself, but I really didn't get much of an uptick from either one.
I like the E-bay like feedback system, but even then it's hard finding something of genuine value for the $5 price.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission said the owners of a telemarketing scheme in New Jersey will have to pay a $18.8 million fine for duping consumers about their donations to police and firefighters.
The complaint named Civic Development Group, LLC; CDG Management LLC; and owners Scott Pasch and David Keezer.
The defendants allegedly misled consumers by telling them "100 percent" of donations would go to the charity.
The FTC said Pasch will turn over a $2 million home; paintings by Picasso and Van Gogh valued at $1.4 million and proceeds from a recently sold wine collection. And Keezer will turn over a $2 million home, a Range Rover and a Bentley.

The faces glaring back at them weren't happy. The tension in the room was thick.
The audience members freely applauded testimony by their side. They clearly met officials' responses negatively.
When all was finished, one crowd left pleased, the other ... well, upset. A tale of two highly contentious meetings.
On March 22, members of the White Deer Independent School District stood their ground and made the tough choice. They decided, much to the chagrin of the more than 100 people present, to move the fifth- and sixth-grade classes from Skellytown Elementary School to the White Deer campus.
White Deer ISD Superintendent Danny Ferrell said the transfer was necessary because taxable revenue and school enrollment have dropped during the past 10 years. Skellytown Elemen-tary, which used to be a K-8 school, lost its seventh- and eighth-graders to White Deer last year.
Needless to say, Skellytown parents didn't shower school board members with warm fuzzies.
A day earlier in Canyon, Randall County commissioners also were facing a pretty serious decision with wide-ranging consequences.
But unlike White Deer officials, county commissioners pleased the crowd.
In light of last month's successful property-tax rollback election, the Randall County Commissioners Court had to trim about $2 million from this year's budget. One of the areas it cut, in addition to commissioners' own salaries, was rural fire protection.
On Feb. 19, nine days after the vote, County Judge Ted Wood and Commissioner Bob Karrh held the first of three meetings to discuss rural residents' options.
Wood said the crowds generally favored the court's earlier decision, and the audience seemed to understand the county's fiscal plight. People appeared to be warming to the idea of holding an election to form a rural fire protection board, which would run the fire district, set the tax rate and decide how to spend the money.
On Feb. 26, during the last meeting, things changed. "I was essentially fielding questions from a very, very hostile crowd," Wood said.
Then on March 21, commissioners decided to reverse course and fully fund rural fire protection. In front of an overflowing crowd of more than 100, commissioners voted 4-1 to continue the status quo. Wood was the lone dissenter.
"It basically sets a precedent for giving in and sends a message to people that if they want to get something changed in the budget, all they need to do is put enough pressure on commissioners, and commissioners will eventually buckle and give them what they're after," Wood said. "It's kind of like we made the initial cuts in the wake of the rollback, drew a line in the sand and said, 'Here's where we are; don't step over the line.'
"And then people stepped over the line, and we said, 'Oh well, the line is moved; it's over here.'
"I think once we have given in to any interest group, in this case rural people, there's a precedent set that we'll do it again for the next group that puts enough pressure on us."
Commissioner Gene Parker disagrees.
"The hardest thing to do is be able to separate pure bias from reality," he said.
Parker defended his decision by saying the county didn't have enough time to thoroughly investigate all the ramifications of turning over fire protection to rural residents.
He said the crowd didn't have any impact on his decision. "I was pleased that a lot of people turned out," Parker said. "What they said made sense to me, based on what I had already heard."
Parker said he had talked with several people concerning the issues in the time between the initial meeting following the vote and last week's meeting.
"I have no problem voting that way especially after all the facts that I got on my own," he said. "It reaffirmed what I had already thought prior to the meeting. I was going to vote for the status quo before I even went to the meeting because of the information I had."
Parker's district is in south Amarillo. His constituents voted overwhelmingly for the rollback.
"People might say, 'You're not representing us.' Well, they can go to the polls and vote," Parker said. "I didn't get in there to be a sissy."
So maybe Randall County commissioners made an informed decision based on outside sources. Maybe they were showing that county government is still small enough to respond to a few upset voters.
Maybe they weren't pressured by angry residents at all.

The giant target glued to the backs of Scotlandville's basketball team is nothing new to the Hornets.
Carlos Sample's squad has been a top-two seed in the playoffs each of the past four seasons and has won the state championship two years running.
Now Scotlandville will set out to defend its two-year reign as the kings of its Class again as the top seeded team in 5A following LHSAA's official release of the 2014 boys' basketball playoff brackets Monday afternoon.
"We're not in foreign territory," Sample said. "The good thing about my kids is they don't read too much into papers and stuff, and they still feel like there's a lot of work to do. There's no pressure on them at all. I think they handled themselves well to this point in the season. It hasn't been a distraction, so they just need to continue doing what they've been doing and prepare themselves like they would if it was the second game of the season."
Dutchtown checks in as the second-highest seeded team in the area in Class 5A, earning the No. 6 seed after a late, strong push through the evenly-matched District 5-5A.
Four of the six teams from 5-5A made it into the postseason, including No. 8 McKinley and No. 10 East Ascension – both of which tied to the district title – as well as Catholic-Baton Rouge at No. 25.
The Panthers and the Bears will face each other in the opening round, which will act as a rubber match between the two teams that split their regular-season series.
Central-Baton Rouge also worked its way into the playoffs as the No. 23 seed is pitted against the Spartans in the bi-district round.
The Hornets garnered the No. 1 seed again as they did in 2012 and will face a first-round matchup against No. 32 John Ehret.
"The No. 1 seed or whatever, it's nothing but a number," Sample said. "A 32 is capable of beating a 1 and a 31 is capable of beating a 2. We've just got to focus on getting better and not worry about the seed. We're concentrating on doing the things that we do and do them better, and the things we don't do so good, get better at them. We just need to be prepared to play. That's the bottom line. We've got to be prepared to play for 32 minutes."
Tara was the lone Baton Rouge school to crack the top-10 in Class 4A by earning the No. 9 seed. The Trojans have improved their postseason seeding for the fourth straight year after missing the playoffs in 2011, squeaking in at No. 26 in 2012 and finishing No. 16 a year ago.
District-rival St. Michael also improved on last season's 28th seed by jumping up to No. 13 this year with a first-round contest against No. 20 Westgate.
Plaquemine, also in District 6-4A, missed the playoffs last season but worked its way to a No. 18 seed in 2014. Belaire represents the final team to make the playoffs from 6-4A, sneaking in as the No. 32 seed with a first-round matchup against top-seeded Landry/Walker.
District 7-3A was often referred to as "the ACC of high school basketball" throughout the season, and the league's playoff picture represents that notion.
Five of the seven teams from 7-3A worked their way into the playoffs, with all five earning top-20 seeds.
University Lab leads the way as the No. 3 seed in its first year in Class 3A after being the No. 2 seed in Class 2A a year ago.
"The top four is definitely where we wanted to try and get to," said Cubs' Coach Joe Spencer. "You never know with the way the playoffs are set up if you're going to have to travel or not. But if the top seeds win, there's a chance you could have three games at home. Being in the top four gives you that chance. It also means you're not going to have to see any of those teams if you're fortunate enough to move on throughout the playoffs. You're not going to have to see any of those other top four seeds until the top 28. We set up the schedule to try and help us make a run at the state championship. We're pleased. We're definitely looking forward to the playoffs."
Port Allen just missed out on a top-four seed, checking in at No. 5 after its strong season.
No. 13 West Feliciana, No. 15 Parkview Baptist and No. 19 Brusly round out the rest of the tough league's 2014 playoff slots.
"District was really tough this year," Spencer said. "I think it was tougher than anybody really expected it to be. We knew it would be good, but not so balanced from top to bottom. The competition has been great. I think it helped us, and I'm hoping it'll continue to help us throughout the playoffs. We have goals, but if you look past that first game, it could come back to haunt you really because everybody is in it. I'm looking top-to-bottom at that 3A bracket, and there are some tough, tough teams from top-to-bottom. It'll be interesting."
Donaldsonville also cracked the top-10 at No. 8, and will face No. 25 E.D. White in the opener.
The Capital City is well-represented in Class 2A as well, in particular in District 6-2A.
Dunham and Episcopal both made it into the top 10 at No. 3 and No. 6, respectively, with No. 21 East Feliciana, No. 29 Istrouma and No. 30 Northeast earning their way into postseason play as well.
A pair of area teams will meet in the first round as No. 12 Doyle hosts East Feliciana, while Runnels also snuck into the playoffs as the No. 31 seed, taking on No. 2 Lakeview in the opener.
It's a similar story in Class 1A as district rivals Madison Prep earned the No. 3 seed, slightly ahead of District 6-1A rival Christian Life, the No. 5 seed.
The young Chargers, who won the state championship in Class B last year before moving up to 1A this season, will face No. 30 Merryville in their playoff-opener after a season chock-full of challenges.
"We have six freshmen, six sophomores and two juniors, and it's not that I didn't realize it, but it just kind of hit me that dang, we're really young," said Madison Prep Coach Jeff Jones. "For a young group to play the schedule that we played, I went back and looked at our record … I was really proud of them. I'm extremely excited about what the future holds. Being a top four seed and winning some of the games we won and going through some of the experiences we went through, it was great. I'm extremely pleased with what we accomplished this season, and I'm definitely looking forward to the future."
Madison Prep played 15 games against 11 different schools that earned top-10 seeds across all Classes in the 2014 playoffs and won eight of those contests.
Two losses came to Scotlandville and two more came at the hands of McKinley, but for a squad that boasts six freshmen, six sophomores and two juniors, any experience is good experience.
"I don't think we'll be shy come playoff time," Jones said. "I think the experiences we've gone through so far have prepared us for this moment. We'll be a tough out for somebody. Experience is going to help us, just going through this experience. Inexperience could hurt us, but I like where we are. You know, 1A is tough this year. We're going to have to play our best ball to have a chance to beat (the other top four teams). I'm excited to be at this point and be one of the top four seeds. One of our other goals was to make it to the top-28 this year, and we have a chance for that. It won't be easy, but I'm just glad that we're at least in that position."
Rounding out the area schools in Class 1A are No. 10 White Castle, No. 14 Southern Lab, No. 16 Ascension Episcopal, No. 18 Pointe Coupee Central, No. 21 East Iberville and No. 24 Ascension Catholic.
First-round contests for all classes are slated to begin this week.

I've got the same thing
Hi ajsit,
Please share the 'System Model' and 'Operating System' installed. Also, please elaborate on the issue whether you are not able to connect to internet or not able to detect wireless connections. Also, please share when do you encounter this error message.
Please reply with the information, I'll be happy to help.
We have Dell Opiplex 7010's and we are noticing that these pc's are being bounced off our switches, when we look further we see this Dell ESG Pcba Test and would like to know if this has anything to do with the switches bouncing them offline as showing duplicate mac address's'
Hi. I have the same thing showing as an active device on my network. I show as an Ethernet connection.
This is the MAC address for the IDRAC or management port.
If this is something I have not set up myself I would have to guess it could be the way my machine was hacked.
I first discovered this using something different than what I am using now. My AV shows it in my network as Generic device and adapter is made by Canon. I know it is the same because MAC is the same.
I have only found out that it is some sort of server hub that would normally be used by an Admin on an Enterprise machine. I am pretty sure that it has something to do with a "RAT" that is part of some bigger hack. I have had issues for almost 3 years with something no one or no virus scanner seems to see.
This article (addrs. below)seems to be a step in the right direction though. Maybe not your issue but it is dead on with my problems. let me know if you find out more. Thanks for letting me know.
Did you find out what this was? I can see it on my network and it is trying to log on to my server with a funny user name and password? If you have any info please could you ping it back to me, can not see any think on google about it?
