By School reports
STARKVILLE – Three-hit nights by Luke Adkins and Connor Powers led the way as Mississippi State beat South Alabama 9-5 Wednesday night at Dudy Noble Field.
The top three spots in the Bulldog lineup collected eight of the squad's 13 hits as State won its ninth straight non-conference game at home. The Bulldogs scored three times in the first inning and were never threatened the rest of the way.
Leadoff hitter Luke Adkins collected his seventh three-hit game of the season, while Connor Powers had his fourth three-hit game of the season. In between, Ryan Duffy continued his recent offensive tear with multiple hits and a sacrifice fly. Duffy recorded his 100th career win with MSU Wednesday night and now has 11 hits and 11 RBIs in his last four games.
"Good teams hit the ball to the center of the field," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "We haven't been doing this, so it's a very good sign that we were hitting them solid tonight."
Kendall Graveman (2-2) pitched the final four innings to garner the victory. Graveman allowed three hits and two runs (one earned), while watching the Bulldogs expand on a 5-4 seventh-inning lead.
In the MSU first inning, Adkins started things with a single up the middle. Duffy followed with a hit to left field. Powers singled Adkins home with a single to left field. Jet Butler drew a walk to load the bases. After a strikeout, Trey Johnson hit a ground ball out scoring another run. An RBI-single by Jonathan Ogden capped the inning.
An inning later, the lead was stretched to 4-0 on an RBI-double down the left field line hit by Powers. That hit scored Adkins, who had reached with a one-out single.
South Alabama began the rally with three runs in the fourth inning. Tyler Vick started things with a leadoff double. After a sacrifice bunt, Taylor White connected for an infield hit, bringing Vick home. Brent Tanner followed with a single, prior to an RBI-single by Clint Reynolds, which scored White. A soft dribbler hit by Adam Heisler brought Tanner home and ended the night of MSU starting pitcher Luke Bole.
The Bulldogs answered with a critical insurance run in their half of the fourth again. Once again, Adkins was in the middle of things. Sam Frost began the inning with a hit. Frost took second on a sacrifice bunt attempt and grabbed third when Adkins collected his third hit in as many at-bats. A sacrifice-fly by Duffy kept the top two in the Bulldog lineup perfect at the plate and ran the score to 5-3.
MSU reliever Greg Houston gave way to Kendall Graveman to start the sixth inning. Graveman was touched for a leadoff double by USA's Reynolds. After back-to-back lineouts, one of which advanced Reynolds a bag, Jake Overstreet hit a line drive which bounced off Graveman for a run-scoring infield hit.
The Bulldogs then struck for four big insurance runs in their half of the seventh inning. After a groundout, Powers struck for his third hit of the night – a double to right field. Russ Sneed pinch hit and drew an intentional walk. Jaron Shepherd followed with an RBI-single through the right side of the infield. Trey Johnson drew a walk to load the bases. Sam Frost drew a walk to force pinch runner Nick Vickerson home. Wes Thigpen followed by going up the middle with a score-ending two-run single.
"We had a good offensive night," Cohen said. "We had quite a few hits and hopefully that will mean more confidence as we go forward."
Vick and Reynolds each paced USA with three of the squad's 12 hits. Starting pitcher Lance Brown (1-3) was lifted in the fourth inning and took the loss.
MSU hosts Tennessee this weekend when Super Bulldog Weekend returns to the MSU campus. The Bulldogs and Volunteers are slated to start at 6:30 p.m. Friday, 1 p.m. Saturday and 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Egypt's Morsi says he'll form national unity gov't, defies army ultimatum
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, in a speech to the nation, announced that he will form a government of national unity and a committee to amend the Constitution.
He said that the initiative - announced on the eve of a possible military intervention in the political sphere - includes approaching the country's political forces to gear up to hold legislative elections within six months to reform the Constitution.
In his address, Morsi said that "there is no alternative to legitimacy" and he urged Egyptians never to use violence against the army, after the military on Monday had given Morsi 48 hours to "attend to the demands of the people" or it would intervene politically.
The Islamist president said that the country is confronting the "challenge of the followers of the old regime" of strongman Hosni Mubarak, who "want to manipulate the rage of the youths, who have a right to be angry."
Morsi said repeatedly in his speech that he possesses constitutional legitimacy as an elected leader and that, therefore, he is not considering resigning.
He urged Egyptians not to shed the blood of their countrymen and noted that jihad, or holy war, could only be declared against the "country's enemies."
Snowden drops bid for asylum in Russia
Edward Snowden rescinded his application for political asylum in Russia and appeared to be running out of options as he remained stuck in the transit area at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport.
The former CIA employee and government contractor who has provided documents exposing the U.S. National Security Agency's massive surveillance of global telephonic and Internet communications arrived in Moscow on June 23 from Hong Kong.
Washington, which is charging Snowden under the 1917 Espionage Act, revoked his U.S. passport, leaving him unable to board a commercial flight unless some other government provides him with travel documents.
Though authorities in Moscow declined to speculate on why Snowden withdrew his asylum request, it seems likely he was deterred by Russian President Vladimir Putin's statement that approval would be conditioned on the applicant's willingness to forgo making any further revelations about the U.S. government.
The 29-year-old American has sought asylum from a score of countries.
19 Dead in Russia helicopter crash
Nineteen people died when a civilian Mi-8 helicopter with 28 people aboard crashed in the eastern Russian republic of Yakutia, the CEA aviation authority said.
Rescue services are seeking the helicopter which, authorities said, plunged to earth after its rotor clipped a mountainside.
"The helicopter crashed against the slope of a mountain and fell to the ground," said the spokesman for the Yakutia regional administration, Anatoly Skribikin.
He added that among the passengers were "eight children under age 8 and three ... under age 3."
"The approximate site of the accident is known, but the helicopter is not there. We have not located the Mi-8 due to the low clouds and the poor visibility," the Interfax news agency quoted the spokesman for the Emergency Situations Ministry as saying.
7 Dead in Taliban attack in Afghan capital
At least seven people died in an attack by a Taliban suicide squad on the Kabul headquarters of a company that supplies the NATO-led forces in Afghanistan, the capital's police chief told Efe.
The attack occurred at 4 a.m. and resulted in the deaths of four Nepalese security guards, an Afghan security guard and two Afghan civilians, Ayub Salangi said.
The attack was launched by four insurgent suicide bombers wearing explosive vests, but only one of them was able to blow himself up. The others died in a shootout lasting an hour with Afghan security forces, the police chief said.
India launches navigation satellite into orbit
India launched the first satellite of its own navigation system similar to GPS, a system that will begin operating in 2015.
The rocket carrying the satellite lifted off at 11:41 p.m. Tuesday from the Sriharikota base, said the Indian Space Research Organization in a communique on its Web page.
"India has entered a new era of space applications," ISRO chief K. Radhakrishnan told the IANS news agency.
This is the first of seven satellites that will make up the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, or IRNSS. It is designed to operate for 10 years in orbit.
More than 2,000 nabbed in multinational drug operation along Mekong River
A two-month-long joint police operation conducted by China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand on the Mekong River led to the arrests of 2,534 suspects and the seizure of roughly nine tons of drugs, the Chinese government said.
Authorities also confiscated 38 guns, 1,125 rounds of ammunition, 260 tons of drug-precursor chemicals and some $3.6 million in cash, the official Xinhua news agency said, citing China's counternarcotics chief, Liu Yuejing.
The operation revealed that traffickers were using handicapped, pregnant or elderly people to transport drugs in an attempt to avoid police scrutiny.
Brazilian gov't pushes for referendum on political reforms
The administration of President Dilma Rousseff formally asked Brazil's Congress to convene a referendum on a wide-ranging political overhaul.
Rousseff, who proposed the plebiscite in response to protests that have rocked Brazil for nearly a month wants voters to have input on how politics operates in the giant South American nation.
The request for a referendum was delivered to Congress by Vice President Michel Temer and Justice Minister Jose Eduardo Cardozo, who stressed that lawmakers will have the final word on holding the plebiscite and the content of proposals put before the voters.

Top 10 States to Work in HVACR
Originally published: 01.29.13 by HVACR Business Staff
California, Ohio lead Emerson list with plentiful opportunities and high salaries
Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) contractors looking for plentiful job opportunities, high salaries, available training and large numbers of service calls should head for the Golden Coast or the Buckeye State, a new report from Emerson Climate Technologies shows.
One of the key challenges facing the HVACR industry is a shortage of qualified technicians. According to the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), an estimated additional 57,000 skilled workers are needed each year to work in the HVACR industry.
"I have talked to contractors from all 50 states during my career at Emerson and I have found a lot of pride in the work, whether they're keeping up with the demand for residential air conditioning in the southwest or working to keep food safe in northeast population centers," said Bob Labbett, Vice President, Marketing, Distribution Services, Emerson Climate Technologies. "This list is an interesting way to draw attention to the important issue facing our industry—recruiting talented people from across the country to take the place of an aging workforce."
Top States Boast Salaries, Training, Sunny Days
- California tops the list with more than 2,000 NATE certified technicians, many cooling degree
- Ohio comes in second with fewer sunny days but many more opportunities for training, with the most accredited HVACR schools in the country. The state is also in the top ten in the country for number of wholesaler locations.
- Florida also offers many HVACR employment opportunities but much lower wages than California. The state boasts a high number of cooling degree days but was edged out by Ohio's better training environment.
- Texas ranks similar to Florida in many areas; both are in the top ten states for residential air conditioning sales. However, Texas does not have as much commercial service volume, according to Emerson.
- Illinois does not employ as many techs, although they are paid better than techs in the three states above. The state offers more wholesaler locations than Ohio and more commercial business than Texas.
In rounding out the top ten, the next 5 states include New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Georgia. They fall behind in employment, training schools and cooling degree days, while offering high numbers of certified technicians, large numbers of wholesaler locations and valuable commercial service opportunities, Emerson says.
Among the top 20
- Tennessee is among the top ten states for air conditioning sales but falls behind in economic indicators like home values and wages.
- Oklahoma has the second most trade schools, seven, but technician employment below the states making up the top 10.
- What Indiana lacks in accredited schools (it has none), it makes up for in NATE certified technicians, ranking 10th in the country.
The list was compiled based HVACR salary and employment data from the U.S. Department of Labor; trade school locations recognized by the Partnership for Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Accreditation; heating and cooling degree days calculated at DegreeDays.net; residential home values from the U.S. Census, and certified contractors by state from North American Technician Excellence (NATE).
Emerson also draws upon its own data to look at wholesaler locations and commercial service volumes from its ProAct Service Center.

Bear Claws: Bowdoin Topples Trinity
from press release
HARTFORD, Conn. - The Bowdoin College women's lacrosse team has earned its first trip to the NCAA Division III final four. The Polar Bears (17-3) dealt second-ranked Trinity (18-1) its first loss of the season in the regional finals of the NCAA tournament on Sunday, 9-6, giving 11th-ranked Bowdoin a trip to the national semifinals next Saturday at Adelphi University in Garden City, N.Y.
The Polar Bears will face top-ranked and undefeated The College of New Jersey (20-0) in the first semifinal game at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 21.
The winner will play in the national championship game on Sunday, May 22 at 3:00 p.m. against the winner of the second semifinal between Cortland State and Gettysburg.
Bowdoin, which was making its third regional final appearance, was led by three goals apiece from Carolyn Gorajek and Katy Dissinger.
Sophomore goalkeeper Tara Connolly stopped 10 shots in what was likely the biggest win in school history.
Trinity sophomore midfielder Megan Leonhard opened the scoring on a free position 5:13 into the game, but Bowdoin erupted for four straight goals in a four-minute span and maintained at least a two-goal cushion for the majority of the first half.
Three of the Bowdoin goals during the streak came on free-position shots, including the first by junior attacker Liz Clegg at the 22:47 mark and the last by Clegg with 18:49 on the clock. Leonhard ended the run with an unassisted tally with 17:15 left in the first half, but Dissinger answered less than a minute later to push the Bowdoin lead back up to three at 5-2.
Katy Dissinger scored three goals, helping Bowdoin pull away from top-seeded Trinity in the regional final.

Neither team scored for nearly 10 minutes, although a Bantam goal by sophomore attacker Hadley Duncan was nullified due to a charge call and Connolly made a key save against Trinity senior co-captain midfielder Alisen Urquhart, stopping the shot and picking up the ball on a roll just before it crossed the goal line.
Urquhart intercepted a pass during a Bowdoin clear attempt and raced down the field to score Trinity's third goal with 6:34 remaining before the break, and Leonhard beat Connolly with a nice feed while running from right to left in front of the crease off a pass by junior midfielder Liz Bruno to cut the lead to 5-4 just before intermission.
Trinity junior goalie Gina Dinallo made three saves late in the first stanza, after relieving sophomore Olivia Whitney following Bowdoin's fifth goal.
Gorajek and junior midfielder Katie Herter scored for Bowdoin and Leonhard notched her fourth and fifth goals of the game over the opening seven minutes of the second half, making the score, 7-6, with 23:13 left to play. Gorajek completed her hat trick with just under 21 minutes on the clock, while Connolly stymied a close shot by Bruno, and both Urquhart and Shea Kusiak each saw shot carom off the post over the next 10 minutes for the Bantams.
Dissinger gave Bowdoin a 9-6 advantage at the 6:43 mark, eluding several Bantam defenders on her way from the top of the arc to the right wing before shooting high past Dinallo. Connolly stopped Leonhard on a high shot from point-blank range and saved a free-position attempt by Trinity senior co-captain attacker Rachel Romanowsky at the 1:27 mark to help keep the Bantams off the board for the final 23:13 of the game.
Gorajek added an assist to total a team-high four points, while Connolly added three ground balls to her 10 saves.
Bantam first-year Lyndsey Shepard picked up a game-high four ground balls, and Dinallo and Whitney totaled six saves between them.
The women's lacrosse team is the fifth Bowdoin program to make a "Final Four" and third Polar Bear team this academic year to earn a national semifinal appearance along with field hockey (national champions) and men's soccer (national semifinalists). Liz Grote's squad joins the Bowdoin women's ice hockey (2002, '03), women's basketball (2004), field hockey (2005-'08, '10) and men's soccer (2010) teams with the accomplishment.

Another weekend, another release: today is the turn of my CC.NET Monitor for Vista Sidebar, which hits version number 0.9.5.
This new version is very close to what I've planned for the final 1.0: a lightweight replacement of CCTray that runs on the Vista Sidebar.
The main feature introduced with this version is the autoscrolling of the projects when in docked mode: if you enable this new feature, the list of all the projects you are monitoring will automatically scroll and loop through all the projects.
I also added some improvements in the usability and error reporting:
I also changed the icon that is displayed in the list of all installed gadgets, which is also more appealing than the previous one:
You can download the new version both on Google Code and on Windows Live Gallery.
The only feature that is missing for version 1.0 is the possibility to play an audio notification when the state of a project changes (Play audio notifications #3)
Anything else you would like to see in the CC.NET Monitor Gadget?
When I start up my machine, the gadget displays "Loading..." until I have opened the configuration dialog on it and pressed OK. Then the status will be shown.

Hi Simone, I encountered the same issue as Thomas G. But the reason I comment here is that I stumbled over the Team Build Monitor Gadget (http://blogs.msdn.com/marcalt/archive/2007/07/17/team-build-monitor-vista-sidebar-gadget.aspx). Maybe you can get there some additional inspiration for your gadget ;-)
Hi Thomas, thank you for announcement.I had a look at it, and makes a nice use of the flyout.Maybe I could also add the flyout that pops out when someone click on the project name in the dock view.
Vista Gadget to monitor Orcas TFS Team Build
Hi Simone,I'm getting a "'serverUrl' is null or not an object' error when the gadget loads.I allowed the debugger to load, and it's complaining about first line in this function:function BuildNotConnectingProject(prj){ var project = new Project(prj.serverUrl); project.Name = prj.projectName; project.Status = "Unknown"; return project;}-dave
Thank you Dave, that's the same thing that I found out...I'll be fixing it in the next couple of weeks since I'm going back to Italy next week, and I'm a bit busy with packing up stuff and then will have to unpack and recover from the jetlag when I arrive in Milano.
Hi SimoneCool gadget. I've been using it for a few months now. I just upgraded to your version 0.9 and I've noticed a few things. When I click on the project in docked view, it doesn't navigate to the CC log page any more.Also, it would be good if I could click on the icon (in docked view) and force a build. I can force a build in undocked build, but being able to force one while docked would be good.Great work thoughDerek

WICHITA FALLS - Canyon jumped out to an early lead, but Graham reliever Mark Gray shut the Eagles down for six innings in a 5-4 Graham victory in Game 1 of a Region I-3A semifinal best-of-three baseball series Friday at Hoskins Field.
Game 2 is scheduled for 2 p.m. today at Moegle field in Lubbock. Game 3 will follow if necessary.
Canyon led 4-0 in the second inning when Gray took the mound. He overpowered Canyon hitters with his fastball, striking out 12.
"There's not much to say. We just got shut down by the fastball," Canyon coach John Doan said.
Graham tied the game with four runs in the bottom of the fourth and took the lead with another run in the sixth.
Graham 5, Canyon 4
The Series: Graham leads Region I-3A semifinal best-of-three series 1-0.
Game 2: 2 p.m. today, Moegle Field, Lubbock (KZRK 1550-AM).
Elsewhere: Follett advances to region finals
Lance Dougherty went the distance for Canyon, falling to 9-4, and contributed to his early advantage with a home run.
Travis Franklin doubled in a run for Canyon, and Clayton Young singled in a run.
"Now we've kind of slipped into a have-to mode," Doan said. "We've got to win tomorrow to keep going."

Beyond zero sum
Community gardens seem to be one of the up-and-coming trends in our readership area. Transition Honesdale started one last year in Honesdale, PA, and last week, we printed an article about one being started this year in Hawley, PA. In Tusten, NY, there is a proposal to start a community garden in Narrowsburg, on the Fort Delaware property and the 14-acre field on Kirk Road that currently belongs to the school district (as of press time, it had not yet been confirmed whether the venues will be available).
Although the proposal has been put together by Andrea Reynosa, who is a councilwoman for the Town of Tusten, it is not a town government project. Nevertheless, the subject of the garden came up last week at a town board meeting because the board is forming a Local Development Corporation (LDC) so that it can raise funds for various projects to enhance the town (municipalities themselves are not allowed to do fundraising), and the community garden could be one of the projects for which funds would be raised.
As a result of the LDC connection, and because at least part of the garden is proposed for school property, a member of the public raised a question as to the potential negative impact such a project might have on local farmers. Should any public facilities be used to encourage a community garden when such a thing might in fact cut into sales at farmers' markets?
As staunch advocates of local agriculture, we are delighted to see farmers' welfare brought into the equation. But we think this criticism is based on a faulty assumption: that we are talking about a zero-sum game. The idea that community gardens are harmful to farmers assumes, in particular, that there is only some fixed amount of demand for fresh produce, and that therefore, for every new supplier that comes in, some existing supplier must sell less.
But the market for locally grown produce is by no means fixed; on the contrary, it has been expanding rapidly over recent years around the nation. That growth is directly related to a raising of public consciousness about the value of fresh food versus the highly processed and packaged forms to which most Americans have become accustomed, in terms of health, taste, energy conservation, environmental cleanliness and sustainability. This educational process has taken place in magazine stories, marketing coops like Pure Catskills and a growing number of vendors and activities that we run into at every turn, reminding us that food is not spontaneously generated from a supermarket shelf, but grows from the soil—and is both more healthful and delicious when consumed as directly as possible from that source. Community gardens are part of this phenomenon, which is creating a rapidly growing market for fresh local foods. That means more sales for existing farmers, and more room for new ones.
So yes, some individuals with community gardens might buy less farm-market produce because they are growing their own (though others will belong to income groups that would not otherwise be able to afford farm market produce at all). But that effect will be more than offset by the fact that this garden, like other local community gardens, is part of what is creating an overall expansion of the entire market.
It is also important to note that Narrowsburg's community garden proposal includes a teen employment component. Makers of manufactured goods like Nike go out of their way to win young people over to their brands early, to capture consumers for life. The young people working in the garden will learn about the importance of fresh food, be exposed to different varieties of unusual produce and learn to appreciate the labor that goes into growing them. Chances are, they will be consumers of fresh local produce for life.
And there is another important plus with regard to the "appreciation" factor. Because farmers comprise such a small percentage of the population nowadays, it is generally very difficult to get the public politically interested in issues such as farm bills, which have a crucial impact on the success or failure of small farmers. People who know what it actually takes to raise good food—and know how precarious the process is—are much more likely to be aware of farm issues and proponents of good farm legislation.
So while we appreciate the concern for local farmers, we believe in the end that it does not justify opposition to community gardens, or to public support of them. Along with farmers' markets, slow food groups and farm-to-fork restaurants, they are part of what is creating the excitement that is making small local farming one of the 21st century's growth industries. Let's get on board.

Resilient Masonry Buildings — Saving Lives, Livelihoods and the Livability of Oregon's Historic Downtowns
Lane Powell Shareholder Walt McMonies was a contributing author for an October 25 Historic Preservation League of Oregon ("HPLO") Special Report titled "Resilient Masonry Buildings — Saving Lives, Livelihoods and the Livability of Oregon's Historic Downtowns." The report discussed historic masonry buildings throughout Oregon, the challenges they face and potential solutions for solving those challenges. Walt is a 2012 HPLO Roundtable member. To learn more about HPLO, click here.
The Main Street hardware store next to the microbrew-pub, the neighborhood grade school that's seen four generations pass through its halls, the clinker brick apartment building you moved into after graduation, the polished stone courthouse with the monument honoring local war heroes. … From Klamath Falls to Astoria, Jacksonville to Portland, these historic buildings are icons that define hundreds of Oregon's communities. Most of them are built of unreinforced brick or stone that was meant to last, withstanding fire and flood, but are at serious risk of collapse in an earthquake. Many have vacant upper floors and desperately need rehabilitation, but have real economic potential.

These are from a series of annual spring keepsakes I did in the 90s that combined type and hand-lettering. I still like them, though I think I'd make the brown type in the top design smaller now. My favorite is the one on the bottom w the 4 poems, because of the number 2000 I wrote in the background — hope you can see it.

Irish Folk Songs for Classical GuitarSteve Marsh - Mel Bay Publications Inc.
Irish Folk Songs for Classical GuitarSteve Marsh - Mel Bay Publications Inc.
Publisher Desc.
Author Steve Marsh has spent many years playing guitar in the folk clubs of the United Kingdom where Irish music is in abundance. This collection draws from his extensive collection of original arrangments of traditional tunes. The songs vary in style and can be grouped into sets for use in a recital program. Many of the folk songs have been handed down from generation to generation so several versions of a song may exist. Therefore, the author has taken a few liberties with the tempo and rhythmic structures of a limited number of tunes in this collection. In general, the pieces in this album range from moderate standard to difficult. In standard notation only.

About 1,400 non-reserved lower bowl tickets for the Clovis-Hobbs boys basketball game on Jan. 25 go on sale today at 9 a.m. in the athletic office at Clovis High School.
Usually CHS doesn't sell tickets to games so early, but it's making an exception for the rivalry game.
"It's just to give our fans a chance to get the ones on the bottom," CHS athletic director Dale Fullerton said.
Cost is $5 for adults and students and $3 for senior citizens.

The undersized Farwell Steers miss Rowdy Mitchell's physical presence inside and on the boards.
Mitchell was unavailable when the Steers opened up District 3-1A play with losses against Morton and Sudan, which are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in Class 1A in Texas.
Farwell coach Clint Conkin said Mitchell should be recovered from his back injury for the Jan. 28 rematch with Sudan.
"When we get Rowdy back, we'll beat the both of them," Conkin said.
Morton's Kendrick Johnson, a 6-foot-9 senior who signed with Georgia, scored 32 points against the Steers (14-9, 0-2) last Friday, including 14 points in the fourth quarter, when the two teams combined to score 51 points.
"He was getting all the putbacks and we were running down the court making 3s," Conkin said.
The Steers connected on six 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and 12 in the game.
Against Sudan, Deterron, Jeramee and Jerry Smith dominated the paint, combining for 42 points and 26 rebounds.

- Long Synopsis:
- From masterfully funny and poignant Jordan Sonnenblick, a story that will have everyone searching for their inner Zen. When eighth-grader San Lee moves to a new town and a new school for the umpteenth time, he doesn't try to make new friends or be a loner or play cool. Instead he sits back and devises a plan to be totally different. When he accidentally answers too many questions in World History on Zen (only because he just had Ancient Religions two schools ago) all heads turn and San has his answer: he's a Zen Master. And just when he thinks everyone (including the cute girl he can't stop thinking about) is on to him, everyone believes him . . . in a major Zen way.

I know. It is a little early. Remembrance Day is Monday and US thanksgiving is weeks away. Plus this year it was 14C on November 6th which hardly has me in the Yuletide spirit. But it's coming. So this is just a wee heads up. It is coming. We'll have to have a chat about what the rules might be. And I need to hit people up for prizes. I have a pile set aside already. If you have something to share - beer, a book, swag, anything - let me know. I hope someone in India sends entries again. Or someone in Japan or Mexico. Or The Falklands. It is the most wonderful time of the year, isn't it? Up there? Last year's grand champion, Robert Gale of England.

Background:: Endoscopic management of ileal pouch strictures has not been systemically studied. The aim was to evaluate endoscopic balloon therapy of pouch strictures in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with ileal pouches and to identify risk factors for pouch failure for those patients.
Methods:: Consecutive IBD patients with pouches from the Pouchitis Clinic who underwent nonfluoroscopy‐guided outpatient endoscopic therapy were studied. The location, number, degree (range 0–3), and length of strictures and balloon size were documented. Efficacy and safety were evaluated with univariate and multivariate analyses.
Results:: A total of 150 patients with pouch strictures were studied. Stricture locations were at the pouch inlet (n = 96), outlet (n = 73), afferent limb (n = 33), and pouch body (n = 2). A cumulative of 646 strictures were endoscopically dilated, with a total of 406 pouchoscopies. The median stricture score was 1 (interquartile range [IQR] 1–2); the median stricture length was 1 (IQR 0.5–1.25) cm, and the median balloon size was 20 (IQR 18–20) mm. Of 406 therapeutic endoscopies performed, there were two perforations (0.46%) and four transfusion‐required bleeding (0.98%). The 5‐, 10‐, and 25‐year pouch retention rates were 97%, 90.6%, and 85.9%, respectively. In a median follow‐up of 9.6 (IQR 6–17) years, 131 patients (87.3%) were able to retain their pouches. The number of strictures and underlying diagnosis were independent risk factors for pouch failure in the Cox regression model.
Conclusions:: Endoscopic treatment of pouch stricture appears to be efficacious and generally safe to perform in experienced hands. Underlying diagnosis of Crohn's disease of the pouch and surgery‐related strictures and multiple strictures were the risk factors for pouch failure.

I'm always surprised at how many of my dreams are set on the rooftop yard of my elementary school. You'd think that after 20-
something years I'd have worked out the lingering issues, but the peeling green floor and the colossally high fence that crowned my school still remain the backdrop to whatever niggling ideas enter my subconscious at night.
My own need for psychoanalysis aside, I think this points to a truth every adult will acknowledge: Our childhood years, particularly the hours spent behind a school desk, in the lunchroom or on the yard, stay with us forever.
The formative impact of both negative and positive childhood experiences can't be overstated, in terms of the values we hold true, the way we relate to ourselves and to other people and where Judaism fits into our lives.
That puts a tremendous amount of pressure on parents, educators and community leaders who hold not only individual minds and souls in their hands, but the future of the Jewish community, as well.
At its best, that pressure is parlayed into passion. At its worst, it ratchets up competition and angst to unprecedented levels for kids.
Parents and educators need help in their monumental tasks, and we at The Jewish Journal see it as our community role to be here as a resource. For that reason, we have rededicated ourselves to giving more space on our pages to stories on education and parenting. As The Journal's new education editor, I will make it my business to understand and address what parents are thinking about.
I've spent the last few weeks talking to people whose lives are focused on this issue.
At Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) headquarters and in talking to other journalists who cover education in Los Angeles, I've learned what our public school students and parents are thinking about: How will No Child Left Behind affect our children's schools? Will our neighborhoods benefit from the LAUSD building boom? Are magnet and charter schools fulfilling their potential? Are our kids safe in school?
For our children in public schools or in secular private schools, what is the best way to provide meaningful Jewish content and inspiration? I've talked to rabbis and educators about innovative and effective new approaches to reversing the post-bar/bat mitzvah Hebrew school dropout rate, and talked to others who see informal Jewish education -- camps, youth groups, social action -- as the key to keeping this generation Jewish.
I spoke with child psychologists about the anxiety over resume-building and getting into college, and how instant messaging is affecting teenage social and academic lives. We talked about how parents pick through issues such as gender identity, social skills and kids who don't fit the mold. How do parents decide when to let kids go out unsupervised? When to seek professional help? When to push religion?
And I attended a Bureau of Jewish Education conference for day school lay leaders, where volunteers and professionals spent a day exploring how to make the city's 36 day schools operate more efficiently so that they can provide an always-improving Jewish and secular education for the 10,000 students in L.A. day schools.
With great knowledge and passion, presenters and volunteers discussed everything from board structure to financial aid best practices, from tapping in to government resources for private schools to funding endowments to make Jewish education more affordable to more people.
I am a parent myself, and these and issues like it are at the center of my life. They are what drive me, and I want to know more about the concerns that drive you and the programs and experiences that inspire you.
We'd love your input into the education section, for listings in our monthly Family Calendar, helpful how-to corners and activity ideas that you can engage in as a family and our "Kvell of the Week," where parents, teachers, aunts and uncles share the amazing things kids have said or done during the week. Look for book reviews and children's writing, and watch next week for more Class Notes, a column dedicated to news in parenting and education.
I've come a long way from rollerskating on the school's roof to sitting behind a computer and worrying about what to make for dinner (or both at the same time). But it's not such a long way. The kid in all of us lives forever as the foundation of the adult we become. And that itself is reason enough to use every resource we can to be the best parents, educators and community we can be.

Jay Z celebrated his 44th birthday yesterday by changing his diet.
Along with wife Beyonce, the rapper is going vegan until Christmas, he wrote on his "Life & Times" blog.
"I prefer to call it plant-based!" he said, citing a theory of psychology that a habit requires 21 days to be formed or broken. "This all began a few months back when a good friend and vegan challenged me to embrace a 'plant-based breakfast' every day. It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought."
Jay Z found a symmetry he liked about starting the challenge at this time.
"There's something spiritual to me about it being my 44th birthday and the serendipity behind the number of days in this challenge, 22 (2+2=4), coupled with the fact that the challenge ends on Christmas Day," Jay Z wrote. "It just feels right!"
He promised updates on his "spiritual and physical cleanse," and requested recommendations of vegan restaurants.
He'll eat many meals on the road: The rapper last weekend launched his "Magna Carter" tour with a concert in St. Paul, Minn.

Man pleads guilty to sexual assault, incest with 17-year-old niece
A 38-year-old man arrested on allegations he raped his 17-year-old niece will be sentenced next month, as he has pled guilty and admitted to his criminal conduct.
Samoa News is withholding the name of the uncle to protect the identity of the victim in this matter. The defendant's sister is the mother of the victim.
The uncle was charged with felony counts of Rape, Sexual Abuse, Deviate Sexual Assault and Incest.
During the change of plea hearing, the defendant pled guilty to deviate sexual assault and incest, while the government moved to dismiss the remaining charges in the matter.
The defendant admitted that on July 16, 2013 in Pago Pago, he went over to his sister's house, woke up his niece, telling her he wanted to speak with her. The uncle the grabbed the victim and pushed her towards his house where he had sex with her, yet the victim repeatedly told the defendant to stop.
The defendant admitted his conduct was without legal justification or excuse.
During the plea hearing the uncle said he accepted and understood that if the court imposes a different sentence than that recommended by the parties, he cannot later change his plea.
The incident came to light when the defendant's sister reported to police that she caught her brother naked in the bedroom with her daughter.
Police Officer Kimberly Mau, the lead investigator in this matter, interviewed the 17-year-old girl.
The girl told police the first incident occurred on July 11, 2013 where she woke up and the defendant was laying next to her, touching her inappropriately.
The second incident occurred on July 16, 2013 where the defendant woke the girl up and told her he needed to talk to her at his house. The victim followed him, and that's when sexual intercourse occurred, 'which lasted three minutes'. The victim told police she was a virgin when the incident occurred.
Court filings say the victim told a social worker that she had been raped by her uncle. The victim explained that she was sleeping in the living room with her mother and cousin when the defendant woke her.
She claims her uncle was drunk and told her he needed to talk to her at his house and she attempted to wake up her mother but the mother did not wake up. According to court filings, the victim said the defendant grabbed her and pushed her towards his house and had sex with her even though she told the defendant to stop.
The victim stated that she tried to yell but the defendant told her to be quiet.
During the police interview with the defendant, court filings say, he admitted that he has had feelings for his niece for a very long time and that he's aroused every time he sees her.
Court filings further state that the first incident occurred when the defendant went to fetch the iPod charger and the girl was sleeping, with her shirt halfway up, and that's when he touched her on her private parts.
The second incident occurred on July 17, 2013 when he had sex with his niece.

There are very few Major League Baseball managers gifted with the privilege of job security.
Major League Baseball's coaching carousel has been fully operational over the last few months as teams scramble to find viable candidates for the job.
With the Blue Jays' hiring of ex-manager John Gibbons last month, the carousel seems to have come to an abrupt halt, but managers should be far from convinced they'll still be there in October.
With next season just three months away, there are a number of coaches whose seats are getting too hot to sit in.
Here are five Major League Baseball managers on the hot seat heading into next season.

Tech meet up: Where entrepreneur and investors convergeAlbert J. Marro / Staff Photo
A large gathering of business owners, entrepreneurs and investors are shown at the Green Mountain Power offices on Merchants Row in Rutland for an event called Tech @ Rutland Meet-Up.
For Daniel Riley and David Newlands of Blu-Bin, it was a perfect opportunity to mingle and meet potential sources of new capital for their growing 3D print shop.
Riley and Newlands were among more than 70 people who turned out last week at a tech meet-up at the Green Mountain Power Corp. offices on Merchants Row.
It was the latest in a series of mixers around the state with the idea of connecting high-tech entrepreneurs with sources of capital.
Thats important for budding entrepreneurs like Riley and Newlands and their six-month-old Poultney business.
We dont have a lot of cash so weve grown ... as far as we can and now were trying to finance that next step, said Riley, Blu-Bin founder, CEO, and recent graduate of Green Mountain College.
Blu-Bin uses three-dimensional technology to print or manufacture a solid object from a digital model thats converted into layers of material in various shapes.
Riley said 3D technology can speed up the manufacturing process, going straight from idea to product.
But Riley also said its the kind of start-up business banks arent thrilled to finance.
Thats precisely the reason Thursdays mixer was sponsored by several organizations committed to helping fledgling high-tech business in the state.
Our main goal is to help entrepreneurs, who are at a number of stages of business, to connect with the resources they need around the state, said Andrew Stickney, vice president, Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies.
Stickney said encouraging entrepreneurial activity is a huge benefit for any community and I think in particular Rutland has a lot of terrific resources that we can leverage and that Green Mountain Power has already done a huge amount to bring together.
GMPs Energy Innovation Center is working on making Rutland the solar capital of Vermont, bringing with it the potential of attracting high-tech jobs.
Adam Dantzscher of Renewable Energy Resources made the trip from Bennington to attend the mixer, not to line up investors, but to spread the word about his company and with luck meet a customer or two.
Im looking for the next project... like a college or a high school, an industrial park, he said.
Dantzschers four-year-old biomass supply company designs, builds and installs commercial renewable energy systems.
Its European-made Lin-Ka biomass boiler can burn a variety of fuels.
Most boilers today are single source, wood chips only, Dantzscher said. Vermont is a wood state but what were trying to do is bring it to ... (burn) agricultural biomass and to complement the wood industry.
The Danish-made boiler can burn switch grass, agricultural waste, wood chips and pellets. If the energy market dictates, he said the boilers can be converted to burn fossil fuels like natural gas or heating oil.
The tech meet up also attracted Rev. John Longworth of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church on Hillside Road. Longworth said he came to pitch an idea of a solar farm to GMP. The church is considering purchasing a parcel of property across the street to expand its child care center. He said a solar farm, with the power sold on the grid, would help defray the cost of the purchase.
The mixer kicked off with some brief comments from organizers, including David Bradbury, president of the Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies; Jamie Stewart of the Rutland Economic Development Corp.; and Cairn Cross, co-founder of Fresh Tracks Capital in Shelburne.
Cross said Fresh Tracks has $25 million under management in 25 companies, many of them here in Vermont, typically in high technology.

PopeWatch: Down Argentine Way
PopeWatch has long believed that one of the keys to understanding Pope Francis is that he is an Argentinian, a very unique country whose tempestuous history has been dominated by outsized personalities. Here is an intriguing comment about the leadership style of Pope Francis by Nicolás Tereschuk which appeared in The Buenos Aires Herald:
As a bishop in Buenos Aires, Jorge Bergoglio pursued a conservative agenda critical of the "leftist" turn made by Néstor and Cristina Kirchner. But known for his "Peronist-style" leadership the priest's strategy cannot be understood only in terms of the "right or left" spectrum. The question a man like Bergoglio asks himself is more like "how do I get to lead this organization?", and not "how do I impose my own views in full to this organization?" In other words, with an institution without a real left for so many years — the last dictatorship and John Paul II views did the work — the biggest threat to Bergoglio was on the far right — an elitist conservative right. Behaving like quite a fierce challenger of the "red" Kirchners allowed Bergoglio to lead the Argentine Church and become papabile.
Now as Peter's successor, the pendulum of power has swayed again for Bergoglio. To my own surprise — not everybody's I must admit— it moved to the left. He does not seem that worried now about the conservative agenda he pushed in Buenos Aires, and his words sound more Latin American, younger, more progressive. Again, this should not be taken into account without noting the main fact. Bergoglio is now at the top of the organization he's belonged to his entire life. He can neutralize his internal enemies best with this "liberal" shift than by being more conservative. It is also important to keep in mind that his former fellow cardinals gave him a task: get the Church out of a financial and political crisis, and clean its image as a first step to prepare it for the next two thousand years to come.
Go here to read the rest. Pope Francis often comes across as a simple, good hearted, perhaps sometimes confused, character. PopeWatch believes that he is a good deal shrewder than that and that he is pursuing a plan that he has laid out. Read up on Argentinian political history if one really wants to understand this papacy.
2 Responses to PopeWatch: Down Argentine Way
Two good places to start to understand Francis are "Francis, A Pope For Our Time" by Luis Rosales and Daniel Olivera and the blog of Marilena Stuart http://romancatholicworld.worldpress.com/the-blog/ These three writers look at Francis from different perspectives, but come to the same conclusions about the man. They all see him as someone who has been deeply influenced by Peronism and communism, and that he emphasizes with the liberal wing of the church. I'd highly recommend that TAC readers go to Mrs. Stuart's blog to get some very good analysis's of Pope Francis's actions and policies from a conservative Catholic viewpoint. The book is basically a puff piece by two guys who are in love with the Pope, but it's important to read to understand the mentality of those who are frantic over Francis.
Personally, I have great respect for those who are able to speak of the faults of their leaders.

22/3/11 www.bbc.co.uk
Consumer Focus Wales is calling for full inspection reports to be made available to the public in order to protect vulnerable groups.
The watchdog has published a map showing public institutions with ratings below the satisfactory score.
The Welsh Local Government Association said local authorities had "prioritised food safety work".
Consumer Focus Wales is monitoring the implementation of recommendations developed to prevent a repeat of the 2005 E. coli outbreak in south Wales.
Five-year-old Mason Jones died in the outbreak and 157 people became ill. A butcher was jailed for a year in 2007.
Maria Battle, senior director of Consumer Focus Wales, called for the assembly government to use its new direct powers to ensure food hygiene ratings were displayed at business premises.
"It is not acceptable that there are publicly-funded institutions, such as hospitals and schools, serving food to vulnerable people despite failing to meet statutory requirements for food hygiene," she said.
"The greatest tool for improving food hygiene is openness to public scrutiny by making businesses display their food hygiene ratings on the premises.
"Start Quote
The reason for a low score could be that the business does not currently have a written procedure for food hygiene"
Welsh Local Government Association
"What greater incentive for food producers than knowing their rating will be public and their failings will no longer be hidden?"
She added that the fact the "vast majority" of premises serving food to vulnerable groups were getting high ratings made it hard to understand why a small number rated so poorly.
The watchdog is calling for the Food Standards Agency to encourage local authorities to make full inspection reports available for the public to download.
The Welsh Local Government Agency said that since the 2005 outbreak, local authorities had "prioritised food safety work" and "provided significant new resources to tackle this important public heath issue".
A spokesperson added: "The idea behind the food hygiene rating system is to promote consumer choice and drive up standards in food businesses. A business with a poor rating is generally one that is found on inspection to need to improve standards.
"However, the reason for a low score could be that the business does not currently have a written procedure for food hygiene.
"Whilst the business premises could be spotless, without this written supporting document they could not be scored above a one-star rating.
"It is important to note that those premises with low ratings are most likely to be in the process of improving."
Food hygiene ratings can vary from zero (urgent improvement necessary) to five (very good).
Since the scheme started in October 2010, 24 schools and colleges in Wales were rated two or below, while 30 caring premises and three hospitals also had facilities with similarly poor ratings. Consumer Focus Wales has identified these premises on a map.
They include the main kitchen at Swansea's Morriston Hospital which was told to make major improvements after a rating of one.
Managers there said they had strongly challenged the score, saying problems were down to documentation.
'Put things right'
Sharon Mills, the mother of Mason Jones, the schoolboy from Deri near Bargoed who died in the 2005 E. Coli outbreak after eating infected meat, said it was "diabolical" that hygiene was not up to scratch at premises serving vulnerable people.
"They are the vulnerable age groups, children and older people, and it's not good enough that we're exposing them to risks in this way," she said.
"They shouldn't be scoring lower than three. I thought after the outbreak [in 2005] and the public inquiry these places would pull their socks up."
Following the inquiry, Professor Hugh Pennington made 24 recommendations aimed at preventing further outbreaks.
The Food Standards Agency said it was pleased the Consumer Focus Wales assessment showed implementation of many of Prof Pennington's recommendations was well advanced.
The assembly government spokesperson said it supported the launch of a food hygiene rating scheme last year, and commissioned a review of food law enforcement.
That report will be submitted in May
