American League vs. National League
RHP Max Scherzer (Tigers) 13-1, 3.19 vs. RHP Matt Harvey (Mets) 7-2, 2.35
Baseball's best will take the field tonight in the 84th All-Star Game at Citi Field in New York City. The Nationals sent four members of their organization to the Big Apple, including Bryce Harper who will start the game in center field for the National League. Nats pitcher Jordan Zimmermann also made the trip after earning 12 wins in the first half of the season but will not pay due to a neck injury. Nationals Manager Davey Johnson and Head Athletic Trainer Lee Kuntz were also selected to be a part of the Midsummer Classic.

RHP Matt Harvey (Mets)
Harper will be the youngest player in history to start an All-Star Game for the National League. He will also be the first player in Nationals history to start in the game and the first player to represent the Nationals in more than one All-Star game.
Harper was the second-youngest player in history to participate in the Home Run Derby; Ken Griffey Jr. was 42 days younger when he participated in 1990. Harper came in second place after blasting eight home runs in each round.
Johnson was invited by Giants skipper Bruce Bochy. Johnson will return to New York City where he managed the Mets from 1984-90 and his 1986 club won the World Series in a memorable, seven-game Fall Classic. He remains the Mets' winningest manager (both in victories and winning percentage) and was inducted into the Mets Hall-of-Fame on August 1, 2010. Nationals Head Athletics Trainer Lee Kuntz will join Johnson in New York City. Kuntz is in his seventh season with the Nationals and will be participating in his first All-Star Game.
In both 2010 and 2011, the winning pitcher in the All-Star game was a member of the Washington Nationals. In 2010, Matt Capps struck out one batter in the sixth inning to earn the victory and end the American League's 13-game win streak. The following year, Tyler Clippard became the first pitcher to win an All-Star game after facing only one batter and allowing a hit to win the All-Star game.
In 2012, the Nationals had the most players selected to the All-Star game in team history when Bryce Harper, Gio Gonzalez, Stephen Strasburg, and Ian Desmond were all chose to represent the National League.
All-Star Performances All Around

With the combination of his star power and raw power, Bryce Harper is the most nationally known of Washington's performers during All-Star Week at Citi Field. However, the Nationals have had a presence in nearly every facet of the festivities, and those stories should not be overlooked. Before the Midsummer Classic takes place Tuesday night, we take a look back through the events of the past three days.
Sunday: A.J. Cole Saves the Future for the USA
On Sunday afternoon, while the Nationals were taking care of business against the Miami Marlins in the final game before the All-Star break, some of the brightest prospects in the game assembled at Citi Field for the Futures Game. Pitting the best American Minor Leaguers against those from around the world, the game has become a showcase event that marks the beginning of the week of exhibitions.
This year's Futures Game was a low-scoring, well-fought contest, in which the teams exchanged leads, with the U.S. team adding a run in the eighth to lead 4-2 heading to the ninth. Giants Minor League hurler Kyle Crick walked two of the first three batters he faced to put the tying run on base and bring the potential go-ahead run to the plate with just one out. The U.S. Futures team turned to the bullpen and brought in Nationals prospect A.J. Cole – reacquired in the offseason deal that also netted Ian Krol and Blake Treinen – to finish the job. Cole punched out Mariners prospect Ji-Man Choi looking, then induced a grounder to second base from another Giants farmhand, Jesus Galindo, to end the game and earn the save.
Sunday: Defending the MVP
As you may recall, last year's MLB All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game featured a pair of Washington Nationals Wounded Warriors Amputee Softball Team members, Saul Bosquez and Matt Kinsey. Both players shined brightly in their time in the spotlight, as each went 3-for-3, with Kinsey also blasting a home run to lead his team to victory and earn the game's MVP award. Needless to say, the bar had been set pretty high for Josh Wege, this year's Wounded Warrior participant.
Not to be outdone, Wege, representing the Nationals, cranked a home run of his own off future Hall-of-Famer Frank Thomas and nearly made a spectacular diving grab in the first inning, earning him co-MVP honors for the night.
"It's just amazing to be on the field with this guys," Wege said of his fellow athletes and celebrities. "I wouldn't trade it for anything. The fans were amazing today."
Monday: Bam Bam Reaches the Finals
Competing in his first-ever Home Run Derby, Bryce Harper was the youngest participant in the field of eight by nearly six years. But that didn't stop him from putting up the most consistent display of anyone in the tournament, homering eight times in each of his three rounds and spraying the ball to all fields, advancing to the finals. But his final effort was not enough to best Oakland's Yoenis Cespedes, who blasted 17 long balls during his opening round, the most of any player in a single round.
Check out a compilation of all of Harper's home runs below, and don't forget to watch him tonight as he starts in center field for the National League.

7.14.13 – Nationals 5, Marlins 2 (10 innings)
Stat of the Game: Denard Span had three hits including a pair of RBI-doubles, the last of which broke a 2-2 tie in the 10th inning.
Under-the-Radar Performance: Anthony Rendon also swatted two doubles, giving him 14 through his first 43 Major League games.
It Was Over When: Washington rode three consecutive two-out, RBI-hits in the top of the 10th to a three-run frame to win the final game before the All-Star break.

Washington Nationals (47-47) vs. Miami Marlins (35-57)
RHP Taylor Jordan (0-2, 3.45) vs. RHP Henderson Alvarez (0-1, 5.73)
The Nationals hope to end their final road trip before the All-Star break on a high note as they look for a Sunday matinee victory in Miami. Despite pitching well in his three appearances to date, Taylor Jordan is still seeking his first Major League win as he'll be opposed by Henderson Alvarez, making his third Major League start of the season following two outings against Atlanta.
1. Harper LF
2. Rendon 2B
3. Zimmerman 3B
4. LaRoche 1B
5. Werth RF
6. Desmond SS
7. Span CF
8. Ramos C
9. Jordan RHP
At 47-47, the Nationals currently own a .500 record for the 19th time this year (excluding season-opening 0-0 record). In recent weeks, the Nationals have sported methodical 27-27, 28-28, 29-29, 31-31, 32-32, 33-33, 34-34, 36-36, 37-37, 38-38, 39-39, 40-40, 42-42 and 47-47 records.
The Nationals are 2-for-36 (.056) with runners in scoring position during their current 1-5 road trip after going 12-for-35 (.343) with RISP during last weekend's three-game home sweep of the Padres.
Taylor Jordan makes his first career start in his home state of Florida, just a few hours south of where he was born and raised (Merritt Island). Despite allowing just six earned runs through his first three starts, Jordan has taken two losses and a no decision. The 24-year-old righty has been very solid through the first five innings (3 ER/14.1 IP, 1.88 ERA), but has struggled to get outs past that point so far (3 ER/1.1 IP, 20.25 ERA).

7.13.13 – Marlins 2, Nationals 1 (10 innings)
Stat of the Game: Dan Haren turned in one of his sharpest performances of the seasons, shutting out the Marlins on three hits and a walk over six innings, striking out seven.
Under-the-Radar Performance: Tyler Clippard turned in his eighth straight scoreless outing, over which he's allowed a single hit and three walks with eight strikeouts.
It Was Over When: Ed Lucas beat out the back end of a potential inning-ending double play ball with the bases loaded to give the Marlins a 2-1 victory.

Washington Nationals (47-46) vs. Miami Marlins (34-57)
RHP Dan Haren (4-10, 6.00) vs. RHP Jose Fernandez (5-5, 2.83)
Washington looks to rebound in the second of a three-game set as they face Marlins hard-throwing rookie All-Star Jose Fernandez. The Nationals will counter with Dan Haren, who shut the Phillies out for the final four innings of his start in Philadelphia on Monday, but took the tough-luck loss in a 3-2 final.

3. Harper LF
4. Zimmerman 3B
5. LaRoche 1B
6. Werth RF
7. Lombardozzi 2B
8. Ramos C
9. Haren RHP
At 16-11 (.593), the Nationals own the National League's second-best record in one-run games. Only the Diamondbacks (20-12, .625) own a better winning percentage in one-run contests.
Jayson Werth has hit safely in nine straight games with six walks, a double, two home runs, six RBI and a .517/.583/.759 slash line. Werth's last double-digit hit streak was a 13-gamer, September 7-19, 2008 with Philadelphia.
Washington has won only four of 19 series played in Miami since the beginning of the 2007 campaign. The Nationals swept a season-opening, three-game set at Nationals Park from the Marlins and outscored their division foes, 11-1, in the process. The Nationals and Marlins split 18 games last season despite Washington's 20-12 advantage in home runs.

7.12.13 – Marlins 8, Nationals 3
Stat of the Game: Ross Ohlendorf tossed four scoreless innings of relief, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out four.
Under-the-Radar Performance: Jayson Werth extended his hitting streak to nine games with a booming double off the left-field wall, just shy of a home run.
It Was Over When: The Marlins added two more runs in the second following their five-run first inning and the Nationals would get no closer.

Washington Nationals (47-45) vs. Miami Marlins (33-57)
RHP Stephen Strasburg (5-6, 2.45) vs. RHP Nathan Eovaldi (1-0, 2.55)
The Nationals head south for their final series before the All-Star break, as Stephen Strasburg leads the charge into Miami for a three-game set beginning Friday night. Since May 11, Strasburg owns the National League's second-lowest ERA at 1.74 (12 ER/62.0 IP), and has struck out 63 batters over that 10-start span.

At 16-18 (6-5 at home, 10-13 on the road), the Nationals enter the final series before the All-Star break with a sub-.500 record against the NL East this season. However, 26 of their 39 contests vs. NL East opponents after the All-Star break will take place in D.C. By the end of this weekend, the Nationals will have visited each of their four NL East rivals twice and hosted each just once. That trend will reverse itself after the break.
Jayson Werth is batting .328 (40-for-122) with 16 walks, six doubles, six home runs, 21 runs scored, 21 RBI and a .403 on-base percentage in 34 games since returning from the DL (right hamstring) on June 4. Werth has hit safely in eight straight games, with a .538/.594/.769 slash line, along with two home runs and four multi-hit performances during that stretch.
With tonight's series opener, Ian Desmond moves past Cristian Guzman into sole possession of second place on the Nationals' all-time games played list. Here is how that list looked at the completion of play on Thursday:
Ryan Zimmerman: 1068 games
Desmond: 550
Guzman: 550
Roger Bernadina: 450
Nick Johnson: 414

7.11.13 – Phillies 3, Nationals 1
Stat of the Game: Jayson Werth continued to stay hot since returning from the disabled list, collecting two hits to extend his streak to eight games.
Under-the-Radar Performance: Bryce Harper scored Washington's lone run (and, arguably, a second one) thanks to a sixth-inning triple followed by Ryan Zimmerman's sacrifice fly.
It Was Over When: The Phillies added a run in the bottom of the eighth to provide the final margin.

Editorial | School funding ruling brings new questions
Judge John Erlick ruled that the Washington state Legislature is not fulfilling its constitutional duty to fully fund basic education. It is an obvious but long-awaited acknowledgment to what educators have known for some time — the state has not met its obligation to adequately provide for educating its citizens.
In his 78-page ruling in McCleary et al v. State of Washington, Erlick ruled that the word "paramount" in Article IX, Section 1 of the Constitution means "preeminent, supreme and more important than all others" and that funding K-12 education is "the state's first and highest priority before any other state programs or operations."
Erlick ruled that the state "has not designed or implemented a state system that (1) determines the actual cost of amply providing all Washington children with the education mandated by this court's interpretation of Article IX, §1, and (2) fully funds that actual cost with stable and dependable state sources."
He ordered the Legislature to "proceed with real and measurable progress" in determining the costs of providing students with the "basic knowledge and skills needed to compete in today's economy and meaningfully participate in this state's democracy," and to establish a stable, dependable funding source to pay those costs.
But how? Where will the money come from?
In its latest forecast, the Washington State Economic and Revenue Forecast Council says that while certain sectors of the economy are showing signs of life, the recovery is going to take time.
The November 2009 state revenue forecast for the 2009-11 biennium is $28.8 billion —$760 million less than expected as of last September.
How will the shortfall be made up? How long will it take? In the meantime, just who will be cut to help pay for schools?
Just as it is for other urgent requests such as boosting child protective services, roads and highways and health care, the need far outweighs the money available. Each has its own crisis looming. Taxes must increase or services must be cut further. What the Legislature must do is think way outside the box in how it collects and allocates the state's money. Yet the judge's decision is the first and most important step in moving toward a goal of the proper level of funding for educating students of all abilities and needs.
Erlick is blunt in his assessment of the impact of doing nothing.
"Society will ultimately pay for these students," Erlick wrote. "The state will pay for their education now or society will pay for them later through unemployment, welfare or incarceration."

Superior, WI (NNCNOW.com) --- The Superior football team had its first practices of the 2014 season on Tuesday afternoon, with the team taking full advantage of the year's first day with three 90-minute sessions.
Teams are only allowed to practice in helmets until Aug. 11, with Superior using Tuesday's practices to install schemes and work on learning the playbook for the upcoming fall.
The Spartans went (7-3) in the 2013 season and qualified for the WIAA Division 2 playoffs, a performance head coach Bob DeMeyer is relying on his upperclassmen to help replicate.
"I would say one of our strengths is the leadership we have," DeMeyer said. "We've got kids that really know how to get after it, how to work, and how to set the pace. They do a great job of showing the younger kids the expectations of our program."
Superior opens the 2014 season on Aug. 22 with a road game against Hopkins.

A Milwaukie filmmaker will debut a short film on Saturday that looks at the effect of large new apartment complexes on single family neighborhoods.
Greg Baartz-Bowman said he was approached last year by Sellwood residents concerned about plans for a 68-unit complex to be built on three single family lots. In talking with the city and the developer, neighbor George Wolters said he began to learn how little oversight or thought of impact there was surrounding the project.
Wolters asked Baartz-Bowman if he wanted to examine how similar development was happening all over the metro area, especially in Portland's east-side neighborhoods.
Over the course of about a year, Baartz-Bowman, with help from Wolters, shot and edited the film in his free time. The result, Den$ity: Profit over People in Portland, Oregon is a neighborhood-level look at Portland's recent housing boom. The film features interviews with community activists and city leaders, including Portland City Councilor Amanda Fritz.
Baartz-Bowman, along with collaborators, has produced several documentaries under his production company, Straw Bale Films. His last documentary, Un-Dam It!, advocated for the removal of the Kellogg Dam in Milwaukie.
Wolters and Baartz-Bowman say the film is not against density, development or infill, but against the lack of process, poor design and materials and developers who refuse to work with neighbors.
"It's good we have developers coming in and building in our city, but we need stronger standards," Wolters said.
The issue is complex and Baartz-Bowman said he doesn't have all the answers. He hopes the community will provide feedback after watching this cut of the film.
"I'm looking for more ideas and for what I missed," Baartz-Bowman said.
Den$ity is one of several films to be screened on Saturday, the second night of the five-part Milwaukie Film Series. The screening is free and will begin at 7 p.m. at the Milwaukie Masonic Lodge.
The entire line up of films is available at www.milwaukiefilmfestival.com. Watch the trailer for the film below.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — People eager to offer assistance to kidnapping victims Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight are being given a few options by the Cleveland Foundation and the city's police.
The Cleveland Foundation has set up the Cleveland Courage Fund for people to offer financial assistance to the victims and their families. Money can be donated through the foundation's website or at KeyBank branches in Northeast Ohio.
Cleveland police are asking that people with cards and other gifts for the victims drop them off at stations in the First and Second districts instead of at their homes so they and their families can maintain privacy.
Cards and gifts for Berry, excluding cash, can be dropped off at the First District located at 3895 West 130th St.
Cards and Gifts for DeJesus and Knight, also excluding cash, can be dropped off at the Second District located at 3481 Fulton Road. Packages should be marked with the girls' names and "Care of Commander Sulzer".
Police are asking that monetary donations go to the Cleveland Courage Fund. Money donated to the fund will benefit the victims through nonprofit organizations, according to the Cleveland Foundation's website.

I am not happy at all. I start almost every day by reading nearly every headline in the newspaper. I felt informed, sometimes intimidated and quite often ticked off about an editorial stance or a columnist's holier-than-thou attitude, but I felt enlightened. I, for one, will not turn to tiny screens with flashing ads, popups and poor English responses 4 U 2 read (oops, my bad) to your editorials, assuming you will carry them to fit an iPhone screen.
Oh, I understand the reasoning. Declining advertising revenues call for dramatic and hurtful management decisions.
So, it's not anger that prompts this letter, just disappointment that "my" newspaper didn't attempt to hone the traditional process of printing as it did when faced with competition from radio and television, or new technology in the century-plus The News has been published.
Maybe this is the way The News must go to survive as a media outlet. Maybe you think Warren Buffett is wrong to invest in dozens of newspapers during this recession. I just don't think I can get accustomed to a three-day-a-week newspaper in a market the size of Birmingham. I just don't like reading for hours on a screen, or watching tiresome, repetitive TV newscasts with forced minutes of commercials and little local news.
I just don't think The News will be able any longer to call itself a dominant force in the Birmingham area, and that's sad.

Bellaire police capture Texas fugitive
BELLAIRE Police apprehended a fugitive from justice Monday night.
Officers Lt. William Shallcross and Ptl. Kevin Yates, at 7:08 p.m., responded to the 700 block of 41St. Street, Francis Wallace Apartments, concerning a report of a male threatening to shoot people.
The officers recognized a subject wanted by El Paso, Texas Police, as he was featured on their Crime Stoppers web site.
Both David Rector and Eddie Rector, 38, were wanted, but Texas would only extradite Eddie Rector, who was listed as armed and dangerous. A warrant for parole violation was issued on May 15, 2012. The original charge was for dangerous drugs.
Eddie Rector was taken to the Belmont County Jail to await extradition. He was booked on a charge of being a fugitive from justice.
Both Rectors were staying with relatives in the Bellaire area.

In total, the program will provide aid to approximately 4,000 refugees.
October 1, 2012
With the escalation of violence, the need for humanitarian assistance in conflict-ridden Syria is becoming increasingly acute. Most recent estimates by UN OCHA place the number of affected in Syria at over 2.5 million, with almost half of that number being internally displaced as people attempt to flee the constant violence. Many have been displaced several times. Schools and public buildings have become shelters for hundreds of thousands of people. Medical facilities, clean drinking water and food are all in short supply. According to UN Aid Chief Valerie Amos, over a million Syrians face complete destitution. Over 30,000 people have died since the conflict broke out 18 months ago and more than 310,000 Syrians have fled the country.
Even those who have migrated within Syria in an attempt to escape the rampant violence continue to be subjected to dire living conditions and suffer from severely limited access to any sort of healthcare facilities. The schools that host many of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) are badly underequipped to care for the massive influx of people. Further, water and sanitation is a major concern for IDPs living in the camps. Medical supplies are gravely low.
GlobalMedic is in the process of deploying 600 food and hygiene kits into Lebanon to support the health of Syrian refugees who have fled the conflict. Nutritious food and access to proper hygiene tools will be vital for maintaining the refugees' health and well-being.

What is a Car Title Loan?
A car title loan, sometimes called a title loan, is simply a loan secured by a car. Borrowers give the lender the title to their car as security or collateral for the loan. One of the major advantages is that a title loan not only lets you borrow some needed cash, but you're able to continue driving your car.
A car title loan can be easier to get than other forms of credit because the lender tends to look at the value of the car and doesn't just consider an individual's credit score when making the loan. As a consequence, the interest rates tend to be a bit higher and the term of the loan is shorter than other types of credit. A car title loan is also for a fixed period of time with a specified number of payments.
If you own your vehicle, we can loan you up to 50% of the wholesale value. If your vehicle is not entirely paid off, we can refinance your loan and allow you to access the cash equity that you have built up. In some cases, we may even be able to lower your monthly payments. YOU MAY PAY OFF THE LOAN AT ANY TIME WITHOUT A PREPAYMENT PENALTY OR ADDITIONAL CHARGE. We clearly state all charges and amounts to be paid before you finalize your loan so you never have to worry about hidden charges or unexpected penalties.
In order to receive a loan on your car's title you must have the following:
- Own the car outright; that is, you must hold the title and not be making payments on it.
- Have a car that is in good condition.
- Maintain the car's insurance during the lifetime of the loan.
- Have a job or some other sort of verifiable income.
The application process for a car title loan is fast, and normally can be done in minutes. Once you know you've been approved, it's fairly simple to complete the paperwork and receive the money you're borrowing.
Not all car title lenders have the same standards so it is always good to shop around. AutoPawn.com prefers vehicles with a wholesale value of at least $3,000, and it is our goal to help you get the cash you need when you need it. So if your vehicle value is less than $3,000 or you don't currently have a steady source of income, we may still be able to help you.
By applying with us, you will have the greatest chance of getting approved and will get the best loan for your needs. If we can't loan money to you, we are able to help you find someone who can.
If you would like to find out if you qualify, just click on the Apply Now button, or call 888-463-3322 and we can pre-qualify your vehicle over the phone. We will also be happy to answer any other questions that you may have. If you click on the Apply Button and complete a loan application, we can approve you in less than a minute.

A condition in which the person affected, usually a child, is unable to control various voluntary body movements that require skill; an older name for it is clumsy child syndrome. Though dyspraxia has been used in the medical literature for many years (the British Dyspraxia Trust, for example, was formed in 1987), it has only recently begun to be used outside this specialist field but now shows signs of becoming a vogue word in Britain, as dyslexia did before it. A particular form of the condition is Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia or DVD, in which a child is unable to control the muscles of the mouth and so cannot articulate words correctly. The problem is known not to be due to paralysis or nerve damage and seems to be a failure to interpret messages from the brain correctly. There is a technical difference between this term and apraxia but the two are often used interchangeably. The word is derived from the Greek negative prefix dys and the Greek word praxia, "action". The adjective is dyspraxic.

Thanks so much for inspiring our class!"
"The course is broken down in a simple, easy to understand format"
"Rob and Michelle's experience as mechanical engineers is an asset to their permaculture design course. The course is broken down in a simple, easy to understand format, but what is more is that natural processes are explained and demystified piece by piece so that people taking the course can integrate the new knowledge into their lives. Before taking the course I thought compost was something that holds up a building. Now I know that it is a way to improve soil and save the world."
"the most useful and constructive education I have experienced"

Sara Renner, Owner of Paintbox Lodge and Olympic Medalist, Canmore, AB
"a way for the future and future generations"

"It is important to learn all these new ways we can help make a better more sustainable future.

A Canadian Hurricane Centre map shows the expected track for Hurricane Arthur. It's expected to be downgraded to a post-tropical storm when it reaches Newfoundland.

Tropical storm Arthur off the east coast of the United States has been upgraded to hurricane status this morning and is still spiralling toward Atlantic Canada.
As a post-tropical storm, it's expected to bring wet and windy weather to the Atlantic region, including Newfoundland, on the weekend.
Environment Canada says a trough of low pressure will be moving eastward from the Great Lakes, guiding Arthur toward the Atlantic region where wind gusts could exceed 100 km/h.
Due to uncertainty in the track, Environment Canada says it's too early to say for certain where in Atlantic Canada the strongest winds will be. Nova Scotia is expected to experience the windier side of the storm.
Significant rainfall amounts are also likely for parts of Atlantic Canada on the weekend. The weather office says general amounts of 50 to 100 millimetres are likely with a good probability of higher amounts north of the track. New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island have a higher risk of receiving the heaviest rainfall.
High waves and storm surges at sea are also possible. Environment Canada says details as to the exact location of where the biggest impact from surge and waves will occur will become clearer on Friday. Atlantic coastal Nova Scotia has a higher risk of surge and waves in the region.

The Government's handling of the ash dieback infestation is to be investigated by MPs.
Present and former ministers are expected to be among the witnesses called to give evidence to the Environment Select Committee about how the disaster was allowed to happen and how it will be dealt with in future, a source said.
They will also be asked to explain the dearth of funding for monitoring and studying the diseases threatening Britain's trees. A report commissioned by the Government and released earlier this year described the field as "woefully underfunded".

In what might have been a look at things to come for Syracuse basketball, three Orange recruits took to the floor together in the All-American Championship in New Orleans on Sunday.
Jamesville-DeWitt center Dajuan Coleman and DeMatha forward Jerami Grant, who have committed to play at Syracuse next season and Tilton School center Nerlens Noel, who will announce his decision on April 11. He'll make the announcement on ESPN, the same day other top recruits Shabazz Muhammad and Tony Parker will make their announcements. Noel narrowed his choices down to three: Syracuse, Kentucky and Georgetown, and will announce his choice on April 11. Noel was originally part of the class of 2013, but reclassified to 2012.
"It means a lot to be invited to play with all of these great players," Noel told The Times-Picayune.
"I wanted to develop my game at the next level. I thought staying in high school wouldn't benefit me as well. So I spoke with my mom, and I decided I wanted to become a senior and pursue my dream to play in college and the NBA. It's my fourth year of high school anyway, so it's not like I was skipping a year."
Coleman, Grant and Noel all came off the bench for the East squad. Here's what Scout.com's John Garcia Jr. had to say about the three playing together:
"Noel, Coleman, and Grant played every minute together on the floor – and each collaborated on at least one basket. Each was unselfish with the ball around the basket and assisted the other on easy dunks. Defensively, Coleman and Noel rotated at center, each showing the ability to play the position although the defense – like any All-Star game setting – was a loose man-to-man for most of the game. The dilemma remains, should Noel choose SU on the 11th, as to which position each would play when on the floor at the same time. For now, I would say Noel at center and Coleman on the wing – though it's far from ideal." The East beat the West 84-72. Noel had six points, six rebounds and three blocks.

Money is so complicated. It's hard to distinguish needs and wants, and harder still to figure out how to spend less than you earn. This is so true regardless of marital status, but your relationship with money changes when you associate it with your relationship with another person.
In fact, money is the number one thing married couples argue about. I know that money issues for me have come up while dating, and have shaped my relationships in the past. A few years ago, I was dating someone who made a lot more money than I did, and he was the kind of person who liked to throw his money around. He liked to show off. He had a flashy car, fancy clothes, and he enjoyed taking me to expensive places. I was not making much money at the time, and I felt a little like his charity project.
One of the last nails in the coffin that was our relationship happened (in all places) in a gorgeous Tuscan village at dinner time. He made some comment about how I wasn't thankful enough that he was footing the bill for this trip, and that conversation ended in tears. I wanted to leave, but realized I didn't have enough money to get a plane ticket back myself, and was stuck on this trip for the next several days. I know that sounds like #firstworldproblems but I was miserable. I'd never felt more alone than I did halfway around the world, spending time with someone who was mean to me.
When I got back home, I thought, never again will I be in that situation. I took a long hard look at my finances and realized that there were several things I needed to do while I was still single. Money allows you the freedom of choosing the way you spend your time. Paying the "change your ticket" fee is far better than spending time with someone who quite clearly thinks you're taking advantage of them.
If you follow these ten things to do with your money while you are single, you'll be well ahead of your peers, and much more able to talk to your spouse about money without being defensive.
10 Things To Do With Your Money While You Are Single 1 of 11
1. Pay back your parents 2 of 11
Your parents may offer to help you with your wedding. If so, that's great. And kind. And generous. And wonderful. But you better be sure that you've paid back any debt you owe them before you let them make a huge financial decision on your behalf! I know when I was in my post-college years, I borrowed money so I could put a deposit down on an apartment. My mom kept track, and told me how much I owed her. I paid her back as soon as I could. Even though parental loans are often interest-free, you earn a lot more "grown up" credit if you pay those loans back before you embark on a family-making adventure of your own.

2. Pay off your credit card 3 of 11
You want to start your married life without credit card debt. So get those puppies paid off! There's no reason that your future life partner needs to be on the hook for your past monetary transgressions.
Image by cohdra
3. Pay off your car 4 of 11
In that same vein, you should be able to pay off a car before you enter into matrimony. If that means you can't really afford a $20,000 new car, then so be it. Find something used, something reliable, and something you can pay off in a short period of time.

4. Plan for your student loans 5 of 11
Some people are in a tough spot with student loans, so I wouldn't say that you should have them paid off before you get married. That's absurd! Some loans won't be paid off for another 25-30 years. But you should have a plan for how you're going to tackle them. Are you paying them off as fast as you can?
Image by hmm360
5. Decide to stop financing things 6 of 11
Don't finance anything else. You don't need a new furniture set (and you shouldn't be financing that anyway!). Live simply. Make the decision that you'll get into higher ticket items together, once you're married. For now, don't accumulate any new lines of credit.
Image by cohdra
6. Start saving for retirement 7 of 11
Have you set up an IRA? How about an employee-sponsored 401(K)? Do that now. There's no time like the present. Don't wait until you're married to decide where you're going to get enough money to retire.
Image by cohdra
7. Set aside savings 8 of 11
You're not living paycheck to paycheck, are you? Start setting aside savings now, so that you will have some money when you're married.
Image by mconnors
8. Negotiate a raise 9 of 11
Are you underpaid? Do you think there's room in your company's budget to give you a raise? Negotiate that now, because if you wait, then you might be fooled into thinking you don't need a raise by the "security" that comes with sharing a bank account with another person.

9. Sell off some of your stuff 10 of 11
I'd be willing to bet that you don't need at least a third of the stuff you have, and if you start selling it now, you'll have a little more cash for your savings, and a little more space for someone new.

10. Stand on your own 11 of 11
This is really important. You've got to be able to stand on your own two feet financially before you marry someone. If you don't, then you run the very serious risk of letting your partner have the power of the purse strings, and you don't want to start your marriage with that kind of imbalance.

text: It's a sobering thought that a volcano far away in Iceland can paralyse flights over the UK and Europe, but the recent eruption is actually fairly small. Iceland has some of the world's most dangerous volcanoes — when Laki erupted in June 1783 it ripped open a fissure 25km (15 miles) long that pumped out millions of tons of lava, dust and highly acidic and poisonous gases for eight months. Most of Iceland's sheep and cattle were killed from eating contaminated grass, and about a quarter of the population died of starvation or toxic fumes. For a while there was talk

LUDINGTON, MI -- A sunset cruise aboard Ludington's S.S. Badger car ferry set sail Saturday, June 8, south along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
The sold-out cruise was a fundraiser for the Sable Points Lighthouse Keepers Association, which maintains four West Michigan lighthouses, including the White River Light Station in Fruitland Township.
The historic car ferry reached Little Sable Point lighthouse at Oceana County's Silver Lake State Park right at sunset. The lighthouse was built in 1874 and stands more than 100 feet tall.
The silhouettes of passengers lined the deck against the sunset. Along the beach, a number of people watched the car ferry make its first-ever sunset tour.
Passengers aboard the car ferry had been invited to "Cruise into Yesteryear" during the 50s-themed event. They were encouraged to dress in 50s attire and the food and entertainment were also from the 50s era.
A 50s-themed event took place in Ludington last weekend and the previous weekend, June 1-2, when the second annual Michigan's West Coast Lighthouse Festival was held.
The SPLKA was to receive 50 percent of the money from ticket sales for the first-time cruise, according to the group's website. Tickets were $49 apiece.
In addition to Little Sable Point, the Ludington-based association maintains the Ludington North Breakwater, Big Sable Point and White River lighthouses. Its mission is to preserve the lighthouses and help educate the public about the historic structures. Maritime artifacts and replicas were on display aboard the car ferry during the cruise.

Boy, I would think you'd want the ground grid to be as deep as reasonable because this grid may be dissapating all or part of the energy from a lightning strike. When I worked as an electrician in Wyoming on an industrial construction site the designs called for heavy copper cable ( about 1/2" dia) to be layed for the peripheral ground. We'd encircle the building with the cable, and cad-weld at right angles to this cable more cables that would enter the building at various places to be used as ground connections. As I recall these cables were about 4 to 6 feet deep in the soil, and about 6 to 8 feet away from the building foundation. -- Dave -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: firstname.lastname@example.com Administrative requests: firstname.lastname@example.com Problems: email@example.com Search: http://www.contesting.com/km9p/search.htm

Renovations moving along on Smith mansion
CHESTER – Fourteen months ago, the C.A. Smith home in Chester was looking less like a historical landmark and more like history.
The porch was in danger of falling in, the staircase leading from the second to the third floor was nonexistent and the front stairs were crumbling.
Then the Fox family, owners of the Orchards at Foxcrest retirement community, bought the home and pledged to restore it.
"There have been a lot of years of neglect," Jim Fox stated last year. "It's a solid structure; it just needs some TLC."
"The C.A. Smith house is an important part of Chester's history," Scott Fox said. "Our family wanted to secure the future of the house and ensure the home would be there for future generations to enjoy."
The 6,000-square-foot house, which used to overlook Rock Springs Park and the Taylor, Smith & Taylor pottery, is being renovated for development into a historical inn that will serve the Chester area, the Fox family said in a news release.
The as-yet-unnamed inn will feature seven bedrooms, a dining room, a parlor and a library. Workers are taking care to restore the things that are salvageable and improve the things that are beyond repair.
"We are trying to renovate the home to its original condition, save as much as we can, while updating the electrical, fire safety and security systems," Jim Fox said.
In addition to electrical upgrades, the house is getting a new kitchen, a state-of-the-art sprinkler system, and handicapped-accessible restrooms and entrances, the family said. The seven guest rooms also will be available for special events.
General contractor Shamrock Construction, owned by George McIntosh, also is taking pains to replace the porch ceiling and restore the exterior wood siding to its original condition. When workers removed the home's modern siding, they were surprised to discover what is believed to be the original wood siding.
Inside, renovation plans include restoring the original wood floors, retaining the original marble fireplace, keeping as many of the original windows as possible, gutting and refurbishing the bathrooms, installing a fire escape and repairing the elevator.
When Chester founding father Charles A. Smith and his family lived in the house, it had 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Smith built the home in the early 1900s and moved into it in 1905, according to the book "A History of Chester, A Gateway to the West" by former Mayor Roy C. Cashdollar. Smith built an addition onto the house in the 1930s. He died in 1953 while still living there.
The Fox family said the house will not be called a bed and breakfast because, in West Virginia, the owner of a bed and breakfast must also occupy it. The inn will be named something to honor the home's history.
So far, the house has not received any historical designation from the state or federal government. The family does not rule out such a designation in the future, however.
Work on the home is expected to be completed late this year or early 2014.

We have heard from the powers that be that "entitlements" are killing our national budget. When they speak of "entitlements," they speak of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. I suggest that trying to balance the budget on the elderly and poor for wars generated by the Republican president on "a credit card" is a poor idea. Congress "went along" with this plan; Congress also went along with raiding Social Security funds. On many levels, they owe the elderly in this country.
I suggest that The Plain Dealer start an investigation to name names and companies that are getting huge tax breaks and funding from the federal government: Look, for instance, at the giveaway to Goldman Sachs, which built a beautiful building largely on our taxes. This stuff needs to be investigated and aired in the media. So should the double dealing of politicians like Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, who is probably just one of many. But they want expectations of the rest of us to be lowered. Really! This is you and me and the other 99 percent.

As an outdoors writer, I get all sorts of questions from readers about fish, wildlife and other outdoor matters.
This week, I received questions about northern pike in Onondaga Lake and advice on keeping a wild snapping turtle as a pet. The questions and my answers follow:
Q: I am a midwestern/southern fisherman here in CNY for business. I have a boat and have been using it in the Seneca River and northern bays of Onondoga Lake.
The last two weekends I have trolled through the northern inlet into Onondaga from the river using Rapala deep divers that look like perch. I have caught many yellow perch from 6 to 16 inches and 1.5 to 3 pound smallmouth doing this. I kept a few perch 13 to 16 inches to fillet and fry and they were very good.
I have also hooked into nine pike between 26 and 35 inches and taken pictures and released them. People at work have told me pike are also good fried, but I need to clean them properly. I watched a few videos on filleting them and removing the Y bones. I was just wondering it is normal to catch 30-plus inch pike in this area? And when is a pike "trophy" size? I have seen that the state record is 46 pounds, but what would a common size pike be for the area.
*William Gilbert, Jacksonville, Fla. (formerly of Springfield, Mo.)
A: William, sounds like you've been having a great time. A trophy is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I wouldn't consider a northern pike to be trophy unless it's in the 40-plus inches. My biggest to date is 35 inches. Northerns like the ones you're catching are impressive, but not that unusual. On a side note, I'd advise checking the DEC fishing guide book about "health advisories" for eating fish out of certain bodies of water. Onondaga Lake has a long and storied history of being polluted. As you can see on the lake today, extensive measures are underway to clean it up. Nevertheless, the DEC's general advisory for eating a yellow perch or a northern pike out of Onondaga Lake is one meal (defined as a half pound of fish) per month.
Q: Last winter a friend found a quarter-size, snapping turtle in a road that was not near water. I took her in and have her living in an aquarium. She has grown quite a bit and is looking good except for the moss on her shell. Should I try to get it off or does it serve a purpose? Also, she is in a tank in just water, with a floating dock. Should she have access to dirt for the winter? I've been reading up on turtles. I've never raised them before. Any info would be helpful.
A: Linda, as a general rule, it's never a good idea to take in a wild animal and try to turn it into a pet. In addition, the state Department of Environmental Conservation has strict rules about the hunting and possession of these turtles. They're one of two species of turtles that can be hunted in this state. Hunters must have a small game license and can only use a gun or a bow. The season is July 15 to Sept. 30. The DEC regulations note the minimum size limit for possession of these animals is 12 inches in length (determined by measuring the length of their upper shell). The one you have, Linda, is obviously much smaller than that and is also illegally being possessed outside of the hunting season.
The only other turtle that can be hunted is the diamondback terrapin. A valid diamondback terrapin license is required. These turtles can only be taken using dip nets, hand capture, seine nets, and traps. The traps must be capable of capturing diamondback terrapin alive, and the trap must be marked with a tag bearing the name and address of the licensee and must be checked daily. Like the snapping turtle, it is illegal to possess one of these turtles out of its season, which is also July 15 to Sept. 30.
Apart from those two species, "You may not harvest, take, or possess any other turtle species at any time," the DEC website states.
Jim Arrigoni, a doctoral student in conservation biology at SUNY ESF, pointed out that such laws were not enacted to harass individuals who unknowingly take in wild animals out of curiosity or concern. They were passed to prevent persons from engaging in large-scale capturing or killing of the animals for use in the pet trade, to sell for food or other commercial purposes.
Arrigoni noted that it's not unusual for female snapping turtles to lay their eggs as much as a half mile away from water and that young turtles are more than capable of finding their way back. As for the moss (it's probably algae, he said) on the young turtles back, he noted snapping turtles and other turtles are prone to having all sorts of things growing on them.
"You could scrape it off with a tooth brush. It won't hurt it," he said.
As for giving it access to dirt or mud, Arrigoni noted that since the turtle is probably being kept indoors it probably would not go through its normal winter dormancy period, where it buries itself in dirt or mud and hibernates.
Arrigoni said snapping turtles have been known to live up to 50 years and grow up to 50 pounds in weight. Taking care of any animal that long and that size is a big responsibility, he added.
My advice is let the creature go now, before winter. Pick out a spot near a body of water. Mother Nature will provide.

BAY MINETTE, Alabama — An Atmore truck driver pleaded guilty Monday in Baldwin County Circuit Court to attempting to kidnap his estranged wife — who was pregnant with another man's child -- struggling with the wife's new boyfriend over a sawed-off shotgun, and a string of other offenses from a December 2010 incident.
Troy Avery Barton, 47, went to his mother-in-law's house in Bay Minette with the intent to kidnap his wife, Tammy Burton, Assistant District Attorney Megan Doggett said in a news release.
Barton brought a short-barrel shotgun and a duffle bag filled with pillowcases, zip ties, duct tape and various medications, intending to tie up his mother-in-law and her husband, and take his wife by force if she was unwilling to come with him, Doggett said.
Barton's wife was not at the home, but her new boyfriend, Leroy Taggert, was, Doggett said.
"They struggled to gain control of the shotgun and it discharged. The mother called 911 and he was arrested there."
Barton entered a blind plea — meaning there was no predetermined agreement with prosecutors on a sentence — to first-degree burglary, second-degree attempted kidnapping, possession of a short-barrel shotgun, unlawful imprisonment and reckless endangerment.
Baldwin County District Attorney Hallie Dixon praised Sgt. Daniel Steelman and the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office for their work on the case and testimony that led to concurrent sentences of 20 years (split to serve five) on the burglary, 10 years (split to serve three) on the attempted kidnapping, and one year each on the other charges.

How will they explain this on "Nashville"? Hayden Panettiere is reportedly pregnant, expecting a baby with fiance Wladimir Klitschko. The "Nashville" bad-girl actress and her fiance, world champion boxer Wladimir Klitschko, have been off and on since 2009. The "Heroes" and "Nashville" actress, however, didn't bother to confirm her affianced status until a visit to "Live! With Kelly and Michael" in October.
The "Heroes" alum and the towering Olympic gold medalist, 37, reportedly got engaged last March; at least, that was around the time the petite star began sporting her gargantuan bauble. The two met in 2009 at an acquaintance's book launch. They dated for two years before breaking up in 2011 and got back together last spring, which is when she described their rekindled relationship "like the 2.0 version."
As for a wedding, don't expect one soon: "Everything that's happening in Ukraine definitely put a hold on things," Panettiere told Parade in a May interview. "But we have time."
Her fiance's 42-year-old brother, Vitali Klitschko, was just elected mayor of Kiev. He ran in tandem with chocolate billionaire Petro Poroshenko, who on Sunday declared victory in Ukraine's presidential race.
-- Maya Angelou, the towering poet who died at the age of 86, had a lot of friends. People mag has assembled a photo gallery of her with Tony Bennett, Gloria Steinem, Whoopi Goldberg and more. They're great; check them out.
-- OK, he may not be the greatest actor, but no need to hit him. A man was jailed on suspicion of battery after rushing up and hitting Brad Pitt in the face on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of the movie Maleficent, witnesses and police said. Pitt was apparently unhurt and, along with fiancée Angelina Jolie, who stars in the film, soon resumed signing autographs.

Port Norris residents have mixed feelings about Mayor George Garrison's recent declaration of war on the bayshore town's wild guinea hen population, according to a report in the Daily Journal.
The report said Garrison directed Animal Control Officer Ron Sutton Jr. last week to set traps for the hens in eastern Port Norris after receiving complaints from residents about noise and property damage. But some residents refer to the small birds, which move and fly very quickly, are beneficial critters that eat ticks, which cause Lyme disease.

The Florida Highway Patrol says a 67-year-old woman has died in severe flooding in the Panhandle, bringing the total number of deaths from a string of U.S. storms to at least 36.
The agency said Wednesday that Betty Faye Word drove her Mercedes Benz into high water Tuesday night and it submerged. She did not escape.
Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency for 26 Florida Panhandle and north Florida counties that have been hard-hit by torrential rain.
Scott issued the proclamation early Wednesday and mobilized the Florida National Guard to help.
Heavy rains started falling over the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday, drenching parts of Pensacola with between 15 and 20 inches of rain.
At least 36 deaths have been reported from the large, stubborn storm system making its way through the South after cutting a destructive path through parts of the central U.S.
Mississippi and Arkansas saw the most fatalities, as well as the most destruction from violent tornadoes.
Deaths also were reported in Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Iowa.

How To: Make Pretty Dough Ornaments
I think the first time I made a dough ornament was way back in first grade, at least, and the result was a yellowed, rough, and very... salty piece of handiwork. Because I haven't been all too fond of the yellowed and rough look, the salt dough ornaments haven't made their way into my own home. After seeing these ornaments, however, I think it is time to give dough ornaments another chance- especially since these do NOT include salt or flour, making them a beautiful creamy white canvas. Made simply of baking soda, corn starch, and water, this recipe used by professional chef Carmen Swaine looks to be exactly what I need.
The recipe, tips, and tricks can be found on Carmen's blog, Woodside Kitchen.
