Nolan applauded
Several weeks ago the Echo carried as a front page article the story of Rep. Rick Nolan's visit to the Pequot Lakes High School students. The theme of his visit was respect, honesty and integrity.
What timely topics in today's world where it seems so many are out for what they can get and at whatever price.
I applaud the congressman for taking the time to spend with these young folks to encourage them to be good citizens, especially at a time when poor judgement and self serving interests seem to be the theme of the day.
Being a senior citizen and having spent most of my adult life in the Washington, D.C., area, I have witnessed the good, the bad and the ugly of politics and government. It is gratifying to hear Rep. Nolan remind us of the values that made this country great.
Also, thanks to the Echo for giving this subject the visibility that it did.

"Left," says the boy.
"No, right is definitely the way," is her counter-argument.
I'm thinking that we already took a wrong turn to get to this point. We've already been in this maze for 30 minutes and I don't think we are any closer to getting out.
"I see victory bridge this way. Let's go." She wins the argument, but is wrong about seeing victory bridge. As we step around the corner of tall corn plants, I see the scorpion bridge. Not the way out. On the bright side, it does have another stamp for our collection.
So our adventure continued, searching for clues, prizes, and the way out.

In the 1930s, Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie and Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, and John Herbert Dillinger Jr. sent chills up the spines of banking and law enforcement officials. Willie Sutton asserted he robbed banks "because that's where the money is." And although robbers continue to barge into banks using a variety of weaponry, modern thieves often are more sophisticated.
Today, the weapon of choice is a computer. Instead of the teller's cash drawer, among the prime targets are the financial accounts of school districts and other municipalities. In 2008 and 2009, the FBI reported more than 200 cases in which cyberthieves made illegal transfers totaling nearly $100 million. Only $60 million of these stolen funds was recovered.
Surprisingly, cyber-robbery is on the rise because of the inverse correlation between the risks and the rewards. Even though the amount of money stolen in a cybercrime is far greater than that taken in a traditional holdup, criminal penalties are lower because no weapons are used.

Last Tuesday, Maine became the 31st state to put same-sex marriage to a public vote — and to have it lose. The Pine Tree State's debate over gay marriage lasted the better part of this year, galvanized thousands of volunteers, and attracted more than $9 million in contributions to both sides. In the end, 53 percent of the 567,593 voters who cast ballots on November 3 voted to repeal the gay-marriage law that the Legislature passed and Governor John Baldacci signed this spring.
Now, gay-marriage supporters (and opponents, too) are contemplating what comes next. There's been talk of "boycotting Maine," and Sid Tripp, of the DownEast Pride Alliance, thinks that Maine's tourism industry will suffer as a result of Tuesday's vote. The opposition has threatened to put forth a constitutional ban on gay marriage, depending on the outcomes of legislative elections in 2010. Some supporters are suggesting going to the courts; others want to re-examine the state's referendum system. But before they make any big moves, gay-marriage backers need to assess what went wrong.
As the No On 1 campaign and its organizational allies do the requisite post-election soul-searching, they're bound to encounter some of the following morning-after memes:
• There will be questions about how well the campaign reached out to voters in northern and rural parts of this large and politically diverse state.
• Some will wonder how effectively No On 1 responded to attacks from the opposition. Sure, the campaign responded quickly (lessons learned from California, check), but did those responses carry the right message?
• Still others will continue to point fingers at the Democratic National Committee and President Barack Obama, who failed to offer the No On 1 campaign sufficient support, financially or logistically (even as they encouraged voters to pay attention to races in New Jersey and Virginia).
• And a few might suggest (as one poster did on the conservative Web site AsMaineGoes.com) that Governor John Baldacci's involvement (as a public speaker at several No On 1 events; as a GOTV robo-caller) put off voters.
But No On 1 political operatives such as Shenna Bellows, of the Maine Civil Liberties Union, and Mary Bonauto, of Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, want to avoid making any of these claims, at least until they complete what Bonauto calls a "fearless analysis" of the election data.
"We want to try to figure out why we lost," the longtime gay-rights attorney and activist says. "It hurts to lose. That said, people on our side are very happy with our campaign. We stayed on the high road." And most importantly, "I think there is momentum. There is no doubt we are moving forward."
The question is, how?
"Clearly we still have to win over another 30,000 hearts and minds, so the first thing that people can do is enlist friends and family members who are upset and grieving into this effort," Bellows says. In addition to continue public education, the next steps could come in the form of more legislation, a court case, or a citizen-initiative referendum.

I put an o ring around the extractor spring on my rifles. I can't remember off the top of my head if its a #30 or a #60 though. My father in law was having that problem and he fixed it by cleaning out the powder residue and brass filings that had acumulated under the extractor. On some of the Sellier & Belloit cases I've inspected, I noticed that the case rim is rounded off more than other makes. You may want to try other brands of ammo

Credit-quality concerns join fuel and market factors to affect power-plant valuation
Devrim Albuz is Director of Asset Valuation at Global Energy Advisors and produces its Power Generation BlueBook advisory service. He can be reached at email@example.com. Gary L. Hunt is President of Global Energy Advisors and can be reached at email@example.com
Credit-quality concerns join fuel and market factors to affect power-plant valuation
As the credit problems spread from sub-prime mortgage failures, financial investors have become more risk averse. This has caused a broader concern about credit quality and fears of loss of credit liquidity, hurting project financing which buyout firms rely on to fund their transactions. Banks are said to have a $300 billion backlog of deals. The list of hedge-fund casualties is growing. Highly leveraged funds also got into trouble as risk-averse investors sell off their investment positions indiscriminately.
Lenders know there are billions of dollars of weak financial assets in the market, such as securities backed by bad mortgages. The problem is no one knows who is exposed at what level to those weak financial assets. This causes a lack of confidence in the lending industry, and a credit crunch that — if unabated — could cause a recession.
As several recent plant auctions have been postponed or cancelled, investment banks have pulled back their stapled-financing packages, or "staples," used by sellers' banks to attract private-equity bidders. This seller-financing is called "stapled" because it is often physically stapled to offering documents. Staples have long been touted as a way to provide a floor price for potential buyers, in the absence of other financing sources.
The backlog of pending private-equity financings is growing, and in a volatile credit market, investment banks have retreated from offers to finance other deals in process because of larger problems in the market. Wall Street has committed to funding some $225 billion or more of pending leveraged buyouts (LBO), which means the banks will need to provide the debt if other debt investors are too concerned to share the financing for these deals. Faced with the possibility of having to use their own money to finance a big portion of those deals, the banks are turning down any new commitments.
During the energy markets' recovery in recent years, private equity and hedge funds have supplied desperately needed liquidity for the industry. A significant amount of generating capacity has been bought by financial investors and private equity funds during the 2003-2005 time frame (see Figure 1, "Changing Buyer and Seller Profiles") . But now, the tide has turned back, and these players began selling out in 2006 to lock in high returns.
Is the party over? Financial alchemy has allowed private-equity firms to attract a whole new base of investors including pension funds and insurance companies that never would have bought risky loans before. As private equity firms bid up the prices for ever larger LBOs, the transactions began getting riskier. The KKR and Texas Pacific Group's $32 billion acquisition of TXU so far has been the peak for the energy industry. The underlying opportunity for investors resulting from strong fundamentals

Tableau Software Vaults 15% on Q4 Beats; Q1, Year View Higher as Well
Data visualization software vendor Tableau Software (DATA) this afternoon reported Q4 revenue and earnings per share comfortably ahead of analysts' estimates.
Revenue in the three months ended in December nearly doubled, year over year, to $81.5 million, yielding EPS of 20 cents, excluding some costs.
Analysts had, on average, been modeling $67.1 million and breakeven on the bottom line.
The company's license revenue rose 93% to $58 million, while maintenance revenue doubled to $23.4 million.
CEO Christian Chabot said the company was "very pleased" with the results, and that "we continue to see an expansion of our market opportunity and look forward to helping more customers turn data into revealing business insights in the next year."
Management will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, this evening. Currently, the company's investor relations Web site is experiencing some technical issues, in my brief attempts to view it, but you should be able to find a Webcast of the event there.
Tableau stock is up $10.36, or 13%, at $89.79, in late trading.
Shares of competitor Qlik Technologies (QLIK), which reports on February 20th, are up 7 cents at $26.44 in late trading.
Update: The shares continue to rise, now up $12.07, or over 15%, at $91.50.
Update 2: On the conference call following the report, Tableau management forecast this quarter's revenue at $61 million to $63 million, ahead of an average $61 million estimate. The company forecast the full-year's revenue at $320 million to $325 million, above consensus of $308 million. It expects an operating loss for the year, excluding some costs, of $15 million to $20 million.

Why are vinyl records making a comeback?
Jim Richardson is the managing editor for home audio/video and pro audio learning content on Crutchfield.com.
More from Jim Richardson
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Check the temperature in hell. This sort of thing isn't supposed to happen in the consumer electronics business. An old analog technology appears to be making a big comeback.
Sales of vinyl records increased 77 percent in the first half of 2008, compared to the same period last year, following a 36 percent increase in 2007.
While vinyl records still account for less than 1 percent of total recorded music sales, the growth curve is so steep, it made me wonder whether we're looking at fad or a significant trend.
Turn back the clock for a moment and recall why most people abandoned vinyl in the first place. With CDs you could skip tracks or pause the music with your remote control. If you scratched a CD, it might not play, but if it did, you wouldn't hear a lot of scratchy surface noise. CDs were small enough to play in your car stereo or Walkman. You were freed from the enormous hassle of making cassette copies. And it was much easier to move a large CD collection than it was to haul crates full of records (and cassettes) around with you.
But what, for the sake of convenience, did we give up when we made the switch from records to CDs (and later to downloaded music)? And what did the artists sacrifice?
The sound of vinyl
While the mass market gave up on vinyl records, serious audiophiles and club DJs never did. Audiophiles argue that high quality vinyl records played on a high quality stereo system sound better than CDs or MP3 files.
"When done right, LP playback has an openness, transparency, dynamic expression and musicality not matched by CD," said noted hi-fi expert Robert Harley in his latest book, Introductory Guide to High Performance Audio Systems. "There's just a fundamental musical rightness to a pure analog source ... that seems to better convey the music's expression."
The ritual of listening to a record
"Putting an LP on a turntable is an act that signifies a single-minded dedication to focusing on the music," Harley wrote. "When playing a record, you sit down in the listening chair, often with full-sized liner notes and cover art, and with no remote control to skip tracks. The process makes a statement that you are about to give the music your full attention for an entire LP side (at a minimum)."
With that in mind, established artists looking to forge a closer bond with their fans are releasing more of their works on vinyl. Many of these releases are instant collector's items - limited-edition deluxe pressings on 180 or 200 grams of virgin vinyl (giving you better sound quality than standard pressings on 130 grams of recycled vinyl). You pay a premium, but you may also get previously unreleased cuts, new liner notes, or special artwork. A good example of this trend in reissues is the July release of Led Zeppelin's Mothership.
A few well known artists have eschewed the CD format for their new releases, choosing to offer only vinyl and downloadable versions. Many new vinyl releases come with a code number you can use online to download a high-quality digital copy for your iPod.
Vinyl as artistic expression
For up-and-coming artists, releasing a vinyl record is way to stand out from the crowd. Writing for Electronic Musician, journalist Markkus Rovito said, "These days burning a CD is so simple that it no longer automatically indicates that an artist has a serious commitment to the music. Pressing a 12-inch record, on the other hand, shows at the very least a financial sacrifice and suggests that time was taken mastering the music to a high standard."
"Pressing a vinyl record should not be thought of merely as a ploy for attention," Rovito wrote. "There is a serious market for vinyl. Turntables have definitely reentered the mainstream consciousness as a result of the explosion of the DJ culture, and vinyl never went out of style with the punk and indie underground. For aspiring hip-hop or dance-music artists, making a 12-inch record is an almost inevitable rite of passage into a more established place in the business."
What next?
Vinyl records may still be somewhat hard to find locally, but there's no shortage of online outlets. Many of the sites peddling vinyl are obscure, but some are decidedly mainstream. Amazon.com has a vinyl store, which it bills as "the spiritual home of audio purists and DJs."
What Amazon hints at, Neil Young said brazenly when he blasted the quality of digital sound during a recent speaking engagement, "We have beautiful computers now but high-resolution music is one of the missing elements," he said. "The ears are the windows to the soul."
Did artists, record labels and consumers paint that window shut when they turned to CDs and MP3s? Is the recent upturn in vinyl record sales a sign that the paint has been cracked and the window is beginning to open again?
What do you think?

One of the few remaining projects to grace my garden from my flurry for the Rugby World Cup is a flagpole. At first I had it proudly on my front lawn, but it has now been consigned to the boundary fence. The flag, which has been up there six months, is well past its use-by date and is now tattered rags. But I find myself consulting it daily to check the wind direction. The main purpose for this preoccupation with the direction of the wind is to check its relevance to surf conditions. Not that I surf anywhere as much as I'd like, but I find this kind of wishful thinking captivating.
But I am finding looking at the tattered flag a little depressing, so I am keen for an upgrade. And the obvious upgrade is to a proper weather vane.
At first I was going to go all out with some pretty serious engineering using aluminium, tubing, bearing sets and so on. But after some careful consideration and a little time spent in my local Bunnings, I decided to use bamboo as my main construction material.
The only metal component is the chain swivel, which allows the arrow of the vane to swing around.
The wind vane has a fixed portion, usually in the shape of a cross, which marks out north and the three other corresponding corners of the compass. Above that is an arrow, which needs to be free to move around to show the wind direction in relationship to the compass direction.
The arrow needs to be able to catch the wind from one end, so some sort of sail or wing is usually used for this, while the other end is slightly weighted to give some stability.
To ensure the bamboo is sound in the weather, I'm painting it - and this requires me to lightly sand the surface before I apply the paint. I've made the wing and the compass directions from thin sheet tin cut to shape and slotted into the ends of the bamboo, but marine ply will work as well as anything.
Either way, there's plenty of opportunity for you to add some extra embellishments.
Step 1: Select two diameters of bamboo. Use a 40mm to 60mm thickness (it needs to be thick enough to insert the chain swivel into the end) about a metre long and three to four pieces 10mm to 20mm in diameter and about half a metre long.
Step 2: Sand the shiny surface off each piece of bamboo and paint with white acrylic paint. At the end of each 10mm thick piece, cut a 40mm slot, into which the wing and the compass directions will slot.
Step 3: Cut a 100mm section of the thicker piece of bamboo. Insert one end of the chain swivel into the end of the bamboo and hold in place using Selley's Knead It epoxy putty. Once the putty has cured, after around 20 minutes, insert the other end of the chain swivel into the longer piece of bamboo and again hold in place using Knead It. Shape the putty so the water runs off.
Step 4: Through the centre of the shorter length of bamboo, drill a hole to fit the 10mm thick bamboo, 50mm above the chain swivel. Insert one of the 10mm-thick bamboo lengths and hold in place, again using Knead It.
Step 5: Through the centre of the longer length of bamboo, drill a hole to fit the 10mm-thick bamboo, 50mm below the chain swivel. Insert one of the 10mm-thick bamboo lengths and hold in place using Knead It. Repeat the step 20mm below this, but this time set the bamboo length perpendicular to the first, so it forms a cross.
Step 6: Using tin snips, cut out the wing, arrow and compass direction shapes to slot into the end of each piece of bamboo. Drill a couple of 2mm holes through the bamboo and tin, then sew together, using wire. Cover with Knead It and paint.
Step 7: To erect the wind vane, use a compass as a reference to make sure the compass points are pointing in the right direction. You could also set the wind vane on a longer bamboo pole attached to a fence.

First off I am new. I have been reading up on this for sometime. Everyone is so helpful.
Ok I purchased to Rommy kits for my first build. These are ok to practice on. If I am to keep something I want it to be nice. I have read the hungarian /bulgarian and Russian are much nicer. Is this true and can I still find one for under $500? I think I would be happier with a kit with a milled receiver. A underfold is nice but not that necessary a chromed lined barrel is a plus. So please reccomend and if you want to sell your kit PM me. KEep in mind when I speak of quality I mean how well stuff is machined ect. Not the finish. I will redo the finish unless it's like new.

We can't resist doing the math: For less than the cost of one in-office treatment, this at-home microdermabrasion system delivers the exact same results (except you can use it for an entire four months before replenishing pieces). That's one solid investment on behalf of more radiant skin. Our favorite part? The whole process takes about one minute, and we can stay in our PJs the entire time.
I hate to be the lone dissenter, but I really, really, REALLY dislike this device. (I would say I hate it, but I don't want to use the "H" word twice in the same sentence. But I hate it.) It feels cheap and when I use it on my face, the brush slows to a crawl and then stops. I have seen absolutely no difference whatsoever--probably because THE BRUSH STOPS. I use the dermabrasion crystals in the shower with my fingers and the product is ok--but no great shakes. There are reviews online that say it's the same as a popular drugstore brand. If that's true, it's not even worth the $20 cost of that brush. SO disappointed.1
I am very happy with this purchase. I had my eye on another one of these devices for a while, but was never really sure if it was worth the price. After joining Birchbox (and suffering through a really bad breakout) I discovered the DDF and decided to spend the money. So far, I really think it was worth it. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks but I can really tell a difference in my skin-my breakout has cleared up, I do not have as many new blemishes, and my face feels so clean and smooth after I use it! I also feel that my make-up goes on and stays better but maybe that is just because I am not needing to use as much as before. I also like the fact that it comes with three different brushes (plus batteries!) and you can use your own cleanser. You do have to replace the brush heads about every 3-4 months and my only negative comment is that you can not buy them separately. The refill kit contains all three brushes and the crystals. I feel that once I find out which one I like best, I would probably want to replace only that one brush that I use most often. But all in all I still think this was worth the money and I can see myself using it happily for years.4
Use this twice a day since i've bought it. owned it for about two months now and my skin is brighter and it just feels cleaner. the only qualm i have is that when using the micro crystals the brush head seems to really have a tough time spinning seems like the product is a little too thick.5
This was the first system I have ever bought. My skin has never felt so smooth after use. I like the fact that there are two different types of brush heads. One for sensitive skin and one for normal skin usage. Plus you get the dermabrasion sponge with the product. Its perfect for use in the shower. Its quick and easy. love it!5
The tool is lightweight and easy to use. The different brushes easily attach and detach. The whole process takes about 1 minute to complete. It is great for daily use and leaves my skin clean and refreshed without drying it out. I love the option to use it for microdermabrasion which was not an option with many other systems. The polishing crystals come with the kit and are not harsh on my skin and are great to use in place of the daily system twice a week. I highly recommend this product!5
I am totally obsessed with my DDF Revolve. I never OWNED a tool like this before and have seen a noticeable difference in my skin. It feels clean and refreshed! I have used my sister's Clarisonic from time to time but DDF is so much better. 3 different types of heads and such a great value. LOVE!5
I bought this for my dad and he claims it has helped his "brown spots". He is not the type to use products specifically for wrinkles or age spots, but he wanted something to make his skin not look so "dull" and after using DDF only once a day, I really think his skin looks tighter and brighter.5

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/flk7f4/it_infrastructure) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "IT Infrastructure Outsourcing Services Market: Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela" to their offering.
The IT infrastructure outsourcing services market is becoming more mature in Latin America as some cultural restraints related to security and infrastructure issues are been addressed. Disaster recovery and storage are the faster growing markets, while co-location and dedicated hosting are more mature in terms of adoptions and for that reason have lower growth rates. New market opportunities and trends with cloud computing and new business models are stimulating the IT infrastructure outsourcing services market and several mergers and acquisitions have been witnessed in the region. The main market competitors in the region are IBM, HP, Unisys, Daycohost, Global Crossing, and Kio.

Most DevOps journeys involve several phases of maturity. Research shows that the inflection point where organizations begin to see maximum value is when they implement tight integration deploying their code to their infrastructure. Success at this level is the last barrier to at-will deployment. Storage, for instance, is more capable than where we read and write data. In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 20th Cloud Expo, Josh Atwell, a Developer Advocate for NetApp, will discuss the role and value...

As companies become increasingly aware of the liabilities and frustrations inheren in manually affixing RFID labels, commonly called "slap and ship," they are investigating a transition to automated RFID tagging. RFID "slap and ship" scenarios are generally recognized as an added cost process while automated tagging opens the door to reducing
cost and adding value. However, since they are two very different processes, transitioning to automated RFID tagging requires specific considerations.
Label Considerations
The first step is to review the current, non-RFID labeling operation. If an automated, print-apply labeling solution is already in place, the key decision is whether to modify the existing label to include the RFID inlay or leave the existing application and label as is and, instead, add a dedicated RFID-based print-apply system to encode, print and apply a small RFID label where and when needed.
It may be necessary to add a second label for RFID if "real-estate" is a concern since the RFID label will likely be larger than the current, non-RFID label and may not fit the designated area. If the product itself is "RFID-unfriendly," the RFID label may require a secondary location.
If an automated, print-apply labeling system is not currently being utilized, then the RFID label can be just large enough to contain the RFID inlay and allow room for human readable and/or barcode information as a backup in case the RFID inlay becomes damaged and unreadable. Alternatively, process improvement can be considered where technologies such as ink jet or pre-printed barcodes can be eliminated and the information can be combined into one RFID label.

An insane precedent is being set. Not only have Greinke and Hernandez set the market for top 15 pitchers, but the Anibal Sanchez deal may set the standard for what teams pay mediocre pitching. its scary.
With the way teams are trending toward big money to lock-up big name pitchers, the Mariners will get their money worth. Felix is flat out awesome.

Richards Homewares was started in 1939 in Los Angeles, California by Myron Freelander under the name of Richards Plastic Company. Myron took sheets of vinyl, die-cut them, sewed elastic around the edges and sold them to the dental industry as head rest covers for dental chairs.
In the late 40's his son Bernard joined the business and they began to develop consumer products from the same vinyl: sweater and blanket bags, suit and dress covers, indoor furniture slip covers, etc. These were marketed to the notions department of department stores in Los Angeles. Over the years more and more products were developed, primarily from vinyl. At one time the product line included raincoats, and was sold to every department store chain in the southwest.
Richards was the first manufacturer to go off-shore for sourcing, and in the early 70's grew to become a nationwide supplier to the notions industry. In 1976, Bernard's son Robert joined the business. In the early 80's Robert began to push the company into a wider range of product lines. Wooden hangers, steel garment racks, wardrobes, and canvas garment bags were added. At the same time, Richards began leading the industry with unique products and features such as injection molded ventilated shelving for sweater closets, the patented maxi-rack frame, and patented frameless garment bag, to name a few.
In 1989, after 50 years, the name of the company was changed to Richards Homewares, Inc., which better described the nature of the business as it had evolved. In 1994, the company re-located to Portland, Oregon, an environment where it could afford larger facilities to handle future growth. Today, Richards boasts hundreds of items and continues, year after year to develop new products for home, storage, and closet organization.

(Rick Hickman / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, November 10, 2012 11:19 PM
Eight teams from Southwest Louisiana won Friday night and advanced to the second round of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association football playoffs.
The American Press had reporters and photographers at many of the area's top games. The following is a quick-hit look at each game. Pick up a copy of Saturday's American Press for complete stories and photos. Check our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/americanpress for a photo gallery of Friday's action.
Barbe had its hands full with a scrappy Terrebonne team to open the playoffs.
Fortunately for the Bucs, they had the better hands.
Star receiver Trey Quinn got his usual 166 yards receiving, but the Bucs' oft-maligned defense turned the game with two crucial fumble recoveries to frustrate the best efforts of Terrebonne.
Both recoveries — one by Isaac Sanders, the other by Beau Jordan — came at the Bucs' 5-yard line to waste a lot of the Tigers' 211 yards rushing.
No. 2 Barbe (10-1) advanced to host Byrd in the regional round despite scoring a season-low point total with its state-leading offense.
"It's the playoffs, you just want to win," Barbe coach Mike Cutrera said. "They came out scrappy and playing hard. We finally found some things that could work for us and started moving the ball.
"Defensively, we came up with some key stops."
Kennon Fontenot completed 15 of 21 passes for 247 yards, including a 95-yard touchdown to Quinn that capped a gigantic momentum shift on the final play of the first quarter.
MONROE — Kavonte Turpin returned two punts for touchdowns as top-seeded Neville jumped out to a big lead and never looked back.
John Diarse ran for two scores and threw for a third as Nevelle (10-0) remained undefeated.
Diarse scored on TD runs of four and 77 yards and then hit Turpin on a 28-yard scoring pass for the Tigers, who advanced to the second round.
Turpin also scored on punt returns of 74 and 78 yards.
St. Louis (5-6) was led by Jared Smith, who ran for 109 yards on 19 carries. Alex Kjellsten kicked a 52-yard field goal for the Saints.
LAKE CHARLES — The frosty shower given to LaGrange head coach Jules Sullen with a couple minutes remaining said it all.
It screamed milestone.
The No. 14-seeded Gators dominated its first playoff home game since 1999, routing No. 19 Franklinton to give the school its first playoff win since that 1999 season.
LaGrange will travel to St. Martinville next week after the No. 30-seeded Tigers upset No. 3-seeded Lutcher by a 30-29 margin.
It was apparent that LaGrange was well-prepared for the Demons, rolling up 359 rushing yards while limiting the Franklinton spread attack to six first downs.
"We thought we could come out here and establish the run," Sullen said. "We realized that's our strength right now."
NEW ORLEANS — Thomas Broussard kicked a 33-yard field goal to lift 22nd-ranked DeRidder to an upset of 11th-ranked O.P. Walker.
O.P. Walker (6-3) drove to attempt a last-minute comeback, but at DeRidder's 18-yard line, Chargers' quarterback Li'Jon Cordier spiked the ball to stop the clock, not realizing it was fourth down.
DeRidder (8-4) got the ball back with about 25 seconds left on the clock and knelt on it to run out the clock.
DeRidder will host No. 6 Holy Cross, a 28-0 winner over No. 27 Shaw, in the regional round.
D'Angelo Reder led DeRidder with 91 yards and the Dragon's lone touchdown on 20 carries.
In a game where defensive stops were few and far between, Northwood came up with two down the stretch to seal its first playoff win in more than a decade.
Northwood (9-2) will host No. 2 seed Karr next week. Karr (10-0) beat Peabody 50-6 in its bi-district game Thursday.
Washington-Marion (8-3) took a 38-35 lead midway through the fourth quarter on a 3-yard run by Darrien Duhon, then got the ball back when the kickoff bounced off a Northwood player. W-M drove to the Northwood 30-yard line, but was stopped on a fourth down play with 3:39 remaining.
Northwood needed only five plays to score the winner. Falcons quarterback Jerrick Peterson found Angelo Roberts wide open down the left sideline for a 49-yard touchdown with 2:17 left. W-M again drove to the Northwood 30, but was again stopped on a fourth down play, when quarterback Maruius Rideaux was forced out of the pocket and had a desperation heave intercepted by Trey Walker with 59 seconds left, preserving Northwood's first playoff win since 1994.
JENNINGS – The Jennings Bulldogs forced three fourth-quarter turnovers as they were able to hold on for a win over the Bogalusa Lumberjacks.
The Bulldogs advanced to the regional round of the playoffs where they will travel to face Loranger, who a 47-14 winner over Kaplan.
The Bulldogs forced two interceptions and one fumble in the fourth quarter.
"The fumble was big and two interceptions were very big," said Jennings coach Rusty Phelps. "I'm real proud we were able to get those turnovers. To come out of here with two interceptions and fumble recovery was big against a team like this."
BUCKEYE — Iowa ended a five-year drought Friday night and proved their playoff seeding to be way off.
The Yellow Jackets dominated Buckeye for a 49-6 win and secured their first postseason victory since 2007.
The No. 26 Yellow Jackets (9-2) will host No. 10 North Vermilion, a 38-36 winner over Avoyelles, in the regional round next week.
Iowa led 22-0 after the first quarter and 49-0 by halftime, completely demolishing seventh-seeded Buckeye on both sides of the ball.
Chaz Key scored on runs of 48 and 24 yards, Jordan Malbreaux found the end zone from 20, 36 and 9 yards away and D'Juan Ringmaiden ran one in from 5 yards out for Iowa. Austin Theriot added a passing touchdown when he connected with Tanner Buller on a 23-yard pass in the second quarter.
The Yellow Jackets defense held Buckeye, which averaged 35.1 points in its last four games, scoreless until late in the fourth quarter.
Iowa forced four fumbles, grabbed an interception and held Buckeye to 177 yards, all on the ground.
WESTLAKE — For one half of football, Westlake looked like a team ready to knock off the defending state 3A champs. St. Charles rallied and showed just how tough a champion can be.
Brandon Zimmer's run with just over five minutes remaining lifted the Comets to the win.
Zimmer's score came after the Rams (6-4) had jumped out to a 26-6 halftime lead.
For the Comets it was their seventh straight victory, but it didn't come easy.
ROSEPINE — Blake Hinson ran for three touchdowns as the Eagles crushed Lake Arthur.
Rosepine's prize for the rout? The Eagles (8-3) get to travel to Shreveport for the second round to face perennial power Evangel Christian.
Evangel has won 13 state titles, including two of the last three. Evangel, the No. 2 seed, throttled Capitol 54-16 in its bi-district game.
Rosepine used a powerful ground attack to wear down Lake Arthur and control the game. The Eagles ran for 318 yards and held the ball for 21 minutes in the second half.
KINDER — Kinder lost a heartbreaker when the Yellow Jackets failed to convert a two-point conversion with 39 seconds left.
No. 17 North Webster survived No. 16 Kinder's last-minute attack to win and head to the regional round of the playoffs.
Khalil LeBlanc caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Austin Pickle with 39 secons left on the clock, leaving Kinder (8-3) an extra-point shy of tying the game. When North Webster (7-4) lined up offside, Kinder was left with only a yard between itself and the goal line and elected to go for the win.
Even after North Webster turned Pickle away, the Yellow Jackets' Wells Cooley recovered the onside kick and Kinder had a chance to win the game. North Webster didn't allow Kinder to get the drive moving, though, and advance to a regional round game with top-seeded John Curtis.
WELSH — Northlake Christian's spread offense proved too much for Welsh to handle.
Undeterred by its 20th seed in the playoff bracket, Northlake Christian used ball control and an efficient passing game to upend the Greyhounds, who finished the year 8-3.
Northlake Christian (6-4) took the opening kickoff and drove 76 yards in 14 plays. Taylor Mussachia's 1-yard run gave the visitors a 1-yard lead.
BASILE — Basile defeated Elton for the second time in eight days, but this time around it was much closer.
A week ago, Basile downed Elton 28-12 in the final game of the season. In that game, Elton scored the first 12 points before Basile stormed back.
This time around, Basile bolted to a 14-0 lead behind a pair of touchdown runs by Kendrick Ceasar covering 27 and 1 yard.
Basile (10-1) advanced to the regional round to face the winner of Mangham and Plain Dealing. Elton finished the season 7-4.
OBERLIN — Fifteenth-seeded Oberlin rolled behind Lance Frank's 101 yards.
The reward for Oberlin (8-3) is a trip to No. 2 Haynesville (8-2) in next week's regional round.
Haynesville beat No. 31 Christian Life 28-0 in its opener.
Jordan Wilson added 65 yards on seven carries and Austin Darbonne added 62 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 11 carries. Frank also ran for two scores.

Tennis diva Serena Williams has smashed her own Wimbledon ace record in snaring a fifth Wimbledon crown with a fighting three-set final defeat of Agnieszka Radwanska.
The American serving dynamo spectacularly notched up her 100th ace of the championships with four straight in one rarely seen "golden game" of her 6-1 5-7 6-2 victory over the Polish third seed.
Williams' recovery from a jittery second-set meltdown takes the Williams family's remarkable title haul at the All England to a perfect 10.
Older sister Venus has also collected five singles trophies on London's hallowed grass and the most successful siblings in the sport's history will also shoot for a fourth triumph in the women's doubles final.
Serena's latest conquest also completed her inspirational comeback from a year out of the game with injury and life-threatening illness and gave her an identical strike rate in grand slam finals as fellow American all-time great Pete Sampras.
All the focus this fortnight has been on Roger Federer's quest to match Sampras's seven title successes at the All England Club - but Williams quietly beat the Swiss marvel to the punch in equalling Sampras's pre-Federer grand slam benchmark.
The 30-year-old former world No.1 joins Sampras with 14 career majors from 18 finals with her emotional two-hour, two-minute victory.
Poland's first grand slam finalist in 73 years, Radwanska did a commendable job even making a match of it.
There were fears early for the former Wimbledon that she may suffer the ignominy of being on the wrong end of the first double-bagel final defeat in 101 years.
The first-time major finalist trailed 5-0 and 15-40, but gallantly saved two set points and held with an ace to avoid the same sorry fate as Dora Boothby, who was humbled 6-0 6-0 by fellow Brit Dorothea Lambert Chambers in 1911.
After finally getting on the scoreboard, Radwanska seemed to benefit from a timely rain break after the opening set and most definitely seized on some Williams jitters to stretch the match to three sets.
But like dethroned titleholder Petra Kvitova in the quarter-finals and Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka in the semis, Radwanska was ultimately unable to overcome the awesome serving firepower of Williams.
The American brute rocketed down 17 aces in all to give her a staggering 102 for the championships - 14 more than her previous grand slam women's record of 89 set in winning the 2010 Wimbledon title.
Radwanska had the opportunity to climb to world No.1 had she won her maiden major.
Instead, the 23-year-old will rise to a career-high No.2 on Monday behind Azarenka, who will return to the top of the rankings with French Open winner Maria Sharapova slipping back to third.
Radwanska can also console herself with a runner-up cheque for 575,000 pounds (A$873,000), with Williams to pocket 1,150,000 pounds (A$1.75 million).
Williams will move up from sixth to fourth in the rankings on Monday - just 16 months after suffering a pulmonary embolism which the former No.1 feared could have killed her.

Everyone! Rihanna just wanted to let us know that she's going on vacation in a private plane and that she doesn't care how we feel about it! Are you ready to look at her twit pics and not care? Or care, but knowing that she doesn't care if you care? Lol, all of these assumptions have been gathered from her instagram captions so I'm probably jumping to conclusions. I'm sure when she writes "#phuckyofeelings" she doesn't mean she doesn't care about them. She just means… phuck em! Anyway, the "ph" makes it less harsh. She's so cute. Pics inside.
Oh, RiRi. Another day, another set of twit pics for me to use in my futile attempts to psychoanalyze you and our very complicated relationship. Freud would not approve, but here I gooo!
Rihanna's caption: #phuckyofeelings Vaca here we come…. #boatsandhoes
I don't know why I cringe when Rihanna curses on twitter, lol. She just sounds like she has such a foul mouth! And she's supposed to be a *pop princess* lol. But then she makes the "boats and hoes" reference and I'm reminded that she has a sense of humor and I forgive her for ph*cking my pheelings. Oh, thanks Rihanna. Step Brothers references will win me over every time!
Rihanna's caption: phuckyojob
Ummm ok. Well, I like my job Rihanna! I don't wanna phuck it! I love it! Wait… maybe I do wanna phuck it, like make sweet love to it…? Is that where she's going with this? I dunno. She looks like she's having fun though. Nice.
Rihanna's caption: I want u to…….
Ok, this is the part where she gets sexy on us. And you get to fill in the blank. Based on the "Trapstar" hat I'm assuming she wants us to go listen to some Young Jeezy circa 2005. Will do, Rihanna. Will do.
Rihanna's caption: 420 Hi
Ok, I'm interpreting this as one of her standard weed references. But it's also one of her sexy moments so we're getting a Twofer here (a la 30 Rock) which is great. And it's always good to be reminded that she has better lips than the rest of us.
And for that, we thank you badgalriri!0

OK. Third year, 17 hives, harvested from 8. This year I started tracking income/expenses, with an eye toward losing a little money on my taxes. This year I had approximately $5K go in and out of the account, not enough to justify professional tax preparation. (Surprising to me- to date I'm only a couple hundred in the red and still have enough honey left to come out ahead.)
Started plugging the numbers into my accounting software but the catagories don't seem to make sense. I'm a contractor, do my own taxes, and am familiar with Schedule C, (Profit/Loss from Small Business). Should I be looking at Schedule F (Farm income)? Or is this Hobby Income? Am I going to prison?

When you submit a new word or phrase to UrbanDictionary and immediately (or eventually) many other authors make a definition for it as well that is usually a horrible spin-off, a wrong version of it, or generally the same thing - they're trying to take credit for it. Usually happens to those that are deemed "word of the day". Also - irony points if it happens to this.
John: I submitted that word I made up to UrbanDictionary yesterday and immediately these three fags 'coincidentally' submitted the same word.
Gerald: You got credit flocked.

- Care & Cleaning
Print The nylon fabric will initially repel water. However, if nylon is exposed to water for any length of time, it will darken momentarily due to some water absorption. Should this occur, blot with a dry white or light colored cloth and allow it to dry completely.
For simple spot cleaning, use a soft cotton cloth slightly dampened with distilled water (sodium-free seltzer water may be substituted) and a mild bar soap, applied in a circular motion. Repeat with distilled water only to ensure no residual soap remains. The fabric should then be allowed to dry completely.
Oily spots should first be wiped free of excess liquid. Talcum powder is then sprinkled on the area and allowed to sit briefly. Using a dry toothbrush, gently brush the powder away to alleviate the soil.
No creams, polishes, cleansers, or leather conditioning products should be used on the trim and handles.

Some of the RB's posted some horrific times. Rutgers Jawann Jamison was crazy for declaring. I dont know who gave him that advice but if they knew he was that slow and that small he should of went back to school and piled up good tape. He probably wont get drafted and now has no degree to fall back on. Some really awful 40 times yesterday. Guys on Twitter were talking to some scouts at the combine and they said as long as u can break 4.7 you can play in the NFL but there was some really slow backs.
Leveon Bell still really intrigues me for the Giants.At beginning of the year some were saying 1st round which I thought was crazy but I really like his skill set and think he would compliment Wilson well. He is big, strong ,can block , and withstand the pounding of 20 carries between the tackles. I think he would compliment Wilson well.
Though he has chosen to hold off on running the 40-yard dash until his pro day on March 21 at Stony Brook because of a hamstring injury, Maysonet said he'll do agility drills and bench press at this week's combine.
"Things happen for a reason," he said of the injury suffered in January. "When it first happened, I was frustrated because I felt like I was letting all the people down in my hometown that [were] supporting me. I wouldn't be able to compete. But I was able to stay positive about the whole situation and just work my way back to full strength."
Im a fan of Gillislee. He is a very underrated interior runner. I feel like more should be talking about him.

Quote, originally posted by vee arr six » I have stage 1's all the way around including the tranny mount. I would recomend replacing all the mounts at once because the stage 1's were too much for the 'heavy duty' rado mount causing it pop. Also, after the mounts were installed i noticed my motor sitting slightly higher than before, it actually would hit the underside of my hood when i would start to slam gears causing it to dent. After i installed the stage 1 tranny mount about 3 weeks ago i noticed that my tranny sounded like it was whinning, but apparently thats normal if you put a solid tranny mount on a VR. I love the way my VR drives now, it feels very solid, and as my friends say 'feels like a go-cart' cause of the mild vibration.
just drove mine for like 4 hours. (stage1 all around+tranny) feels awesome. not too much vibration, theres a verycool hard engagement of the starter, i can feel it with my with my butt. nice quick response and gear banging gives me whilash.

I don't want to say it's great or any thing but it sure did drop the VARROA for me and I have not lost any hives this year so I'm happy with it so far. We will see come spring . I have only tried fogging with FGMO before OAV and that didn't work now OAV did well you see the pics.
Say hello to the bad guy!
year five==== 31 hives==== T{OAV}
For what its worth…
I got an OA vaporizer last week. And tested it on a couple of dozen hives. Half had screened bottoms. All were treated with Apiguard last September. These hives were from the 'dregs' of last spring's nucs. Each had had some sort of problem..typically queens…some supercedures, some 'lost' during mating and the like. I keep them in a yard where I can nurture them and by season's end they had recovered, built and provisioned their nests and gone into cold weather with healthy clusters. My point is that when treated in September most had relatively low mite loads, in part from brood breaks and the like.
At day five, after OA the drops range from around thirty (pretty much what I'd hoped to see) to a couple of hundred mites dropped. There were actually four hives that dropped over a hundred. And those are only counting the hives with screened bottoms.
So…yeah….it knocks down mites and I'll get into my other beeyards over the next couple of weeks and do them.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Glock, What is your plan for the hives that had the high mite loads next spring? Continue treating, new queen or what?
The closest we get to a broodless period here in North Florida is right after Thanksgiving making it a good time for a dribble or OAV. The Maples have already started blooming now and the queens have really picked up the past two weeks.
I wonder if this just proves that even 3 treatments a week apart may not be good enough if you still have brood in the hive.
http://www.exmoorbeesandbeehives.co.uk/ Buckfast UK.
I plan on doing alcohol washes on all hives right before the main flow and see witch hives have high mite loads and treat the ones that need it. I plan on working with what I have and see witch hives are dealing with VARROA and go from there . I have 25 hives and some didn't not have high mite loads in the fall but all had mite. this is only the end of my 4th year and the bee yards are well stocked with healthy bees and lots of equipment now it's time to play. I am going to sale a few nucs this year and try to have 25 nucs by fall and run 7 production hive through the 2014 flow. I am going to test for hygiene and re queen all hives that need it all my hives are last year queens breed from my strongest hives so this coming year is going to be fun to keep good records so some day my queens will be worth selling and making nucs watching mite loads see witch hives build up fast and are making lots of honey and deal with VARROA all goals.
My bees come from 2 different bee breeders that breed for VARROA resistance and every thing I have comes from over winter stock from my bee yards .
Say hello to the bad guy!
year five==== 31 hives==== T{OAV}
That's why it is important to learn about when and how to use all of the options. To everything there is a season...
Since '09-75H-T-Z6b
Are you guys use just generic wood bleach or some other form of OA??
Glock, you already talked me into using OA, and thank you sir! But capitalizing VARROA!!! In every use is like a visual punch in the mouth man!
What was the temperature when you did the fogging
One post mentioned screened BB? do you normaly close those up or??
Yes, you close them up. Does not have to be perfect........ slide in some heavy duty aluminum foil (or flashing) and block entrance with old shirt, towel, whatever..........
Hi Gord, How much wintergreen do you add to the FGMO? and is this a liquid or another form ? Thanks for any help you can offer. I feel that FGMO and essential oils must be effective if the method and frequency is correct. Once a week by some accounts is not often enough? Cheers Chris Bright

There is a large variety of food with natural ingredients that should be included in any kind of fitness and exercise diets. Some of these foods include organic products, fruits, vegetables, and salads. For people who work out for long periods of time, they have to satisfy their bodies with he right amount of nutrients every day.
Right amount means 9 to 12 servings of carbohydrates, 3 to 4 servings of proteins, 2 to 3 servings of dairy products, and 7 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables. Aside from the size of the servings, there should be rules in fitness and exercise diet that must be followed to the dot if one wants to enjoy a healthy body.
The Rules to Follow in Fitness and Exercise Diet Programs
1. The first rule in a fitness and exercise diet is employing everything in moderation. Do not attempt to introduce any of the necessary steps in your fitness and exercise diet harshly. Let your body get use to the program slowly and surely.
2. Watch what you eat and eat it slowly. Savor the food you are chewing and chew it carefully. This will help your stomach do less effort in digesting the food but at the same time will tell the brain that food is in order.
3. Some people eat large meals everyday. The human body is not equipped to process all the nutrients at one time so it will be best to break down the nutrients into smaller portions during the day. This way, the body can process better. There will be more energy too because of the proper amount of glucose present in the bloodstream.
4. Never eat before you go to sleep. Anything taken in 3 to 4 hours prior to sleeping is just stored as unwanted fat. Resist the temptation and just talk yourself into looking forward to breakfast — which will take us to the fifth really important fitness and exercise diet rule.
5. Never, ever attempt to skip breakfast! Skipping meals is terrible, and so is starving yourself. These bad habits will deprive your muscles and brain the critical nutrients needed for them to function efficiently. Do not work out without any energy or you'll just damage your health. Eating good breakfast meals everyday will keep you happy and healthy.
Your fitness and exercise diet program should have a variety of food in it. This way you will be able to get all the different nutrients your body — – and you get to enjoy the food too. Eating moderately and consciously will make for a successful diet program because you will have the tendency to eat less.
Your body will be able to process the food more efficiently, and you can also develop more endurance and energy in the process. Soon, you will lose weight without the hassle of feeling deprived and miserable.

Room To Breathe is a surprising story of transformation of struggling children in a San Francisco public middle school as they are introduced to the practice of mindfulness meditation.
The film focuses on four troubled children in Marina Middle School in San Francisco: an African American boy trying to cope with his brother's murder; a highly social Latino girl with no interest in academics; a tough and disruptive Latino girl who is frequently in trouble with school administrators; and a defiant Latino boy who sees himself as unfairly persecuted by his primary teacher and other school officials. The film shows chaos in the classroom - children fooling around, shoving, and yelling.
How can teachers help these children develop the social, emotional, and attentional skills they need to succeed in and out of the classroom? Instead of just forcing the children to listen, the school administrators decide to experiment with "mindfulness," a new program in self-reflection that is being introduced to a handful of public schools across the nation.
While the mindfulness instructor's efforts are initially met with defiance, contempt for authority figures, and poor discipline, the teacher from Berkeley helps the four children and their classmates take greater control over themselves. A new sense of calm begins to permeate their worlds, in class and at home.
The root of the children's problems may be unique to each person, but the practice of mindfulness meditation has positive influence on all of them. Room To Breathe is an inspiring film that demonstrates a simple method that appears to have the potential to transform the ways in which children relate to their peers, their teachers, and their world, to reduce violence and bullying, and to create marked improvements in academic performance.
