It is the second largest watershed in the state. Also, it is a significant part of a much larger multi-state watershed, the Narragansett Bay watershed.
The Taunton River watershed is mostly situated in Bristol County and western Plymouth County, while some portions of it extends into parts of southern Norfolk County.
The Taunton River watershed includes:
- 7 species of freshwater mussels
- 27 different habitat types
- 29 species of native fish
- 114 species of birds.
- 173 square miles (450 km2) of canoeable river
- 221 lakes and ponds
- Hockomock Swamp of 16,800 acres (6,800 ha)

The Omnibus AFB Surface Topic
- [ Ignore ]
Ok, I'm about to merge the topics.
LStream, FalKirk:
The iPad is not replacing PCs as such. It's replacing paper and enabling on-the-move computing. FalKirk cites some cases that are "replacing paper". Other cases that have been cited here are mostly "on-the-move computing" such as bedside data collection in a hospital.
In the cases where it is replacing PCs it seems to be largely because the PC was never a good fit. Example: the iPad is replacing my parents computer. They travel a lot, and used to cary their Internet with them as a 3G stick with a hotspot. That was a colossal bother. Now they use an iPad with 3G and enough memory to suck up their digital pictures. iPhoto for the iPad was the missing link.
They still have a computer, but now it's a Mac Mini rather than a laptop.
I guess I'm largely in the "iPad is a different beast" camp, but not entirely.[ Edited: 25 June 2012 03:06 AM by dduck ]

It's a classic disruptive product - both disrupting a current market, and creating a large new market. So many use cases were underserved, and once the tech was cheaper enough it was low hanging fruit for the first company that could provide the solution.
A fruit company of course.

As I've said, look at the Surface about page on Microsoft's website.
First photo says it all.
scroll down: Images are design renderings and not photographs.
I wonder why we are spending so much time discussing a product none of us has touched?
It's not a product, it's a fantasy visualisation that hasn't even been worked through in detail. "Microsoft's ClearType HD Display technology delivers a great picture for movies." Cleartype is font rendering software, nothing to do with movies. It has no meaning here. VaporMg is a meaningless invented name, together with the video, intended to make you think liquidmetal, even though it can't be. "Micro HD video connectivity" is equally meaningless - Micro HD is a file format for video, not a connection method. "actual size and weight may vary"
Unknown size, unknown weight, unknown screen resolution, unknown WiFi support, unknown 3G support, unknown Bluetooth support, unknown GPS support, unknown video/audio out support.
See comments below. My perspectives come from being in Enterprise Mobility for quite a while, which involves the types of applications mentioned below. This included a stint at Symbol Tech, which is part of Motorola now. While there, I was involved in delivering solutions into the types of use cases you mention below.
One of your posts mentioned that iPads hurt Netbook sales. That makes sense to me. My prior posts in this thread have an Enterprise and higher end consumer bias.
[ Edited: 25 June 2012 08:58 AM by Lstream ]
My main point above is that the iPad and PC's are distinct markets, and therefore the iPad cannot be held responsible for declining PC sales. At least not without some more convincing evidence, which we do not appear to have. I think what Tim and Tony are saying is consistent with this point of view.
Here, in my opinion, is the problem with your thinking. You're making the same mistake that all the anti-tablet people were making when the iPad first arrived. You're thinking that tablet and desktops (and notebooks) are distinct and are different and therefore you're assuming that desktop markets will be safe from tablet incursion.
Just because the tablet cannot replace the desktop does not mean that the tablet cannot replace the job that the desktop was doing. Examples abound: I admit that some of what you say below is possible. However, most of your examples below are in the "could happen" category. As such, they cannot account for the current drop in PC growth rates
- There are probably 500 million small retail stores that use ancient PCs to handle their accounting, store inventory or act as a cash register. Cheaper, simpler, smaller, more mobile, more versatile tablets can replace them with aplomb. Possibly, but not yet. At least not in enough quantity to impact PC sales so far. These apps are deceivingly complex, and so far not deployed in material quantities on anything but PC'S. I actually think the first casualties will be purpose built hand helds in some cases, not the PC's in the back. Much like you see how iPhones are being used in the Apple store
- Tens of millions of people need to do their computing while standing up. Realtors, inventory managers, maitre d's, order takers and sales people of every kind come readily to mind. Many of them used to shoe horn notebooks into their tasks. No more. Sorry, but this is just not true. Sales people might be the one exception in some circumstnsces. This class of worker currently uses purpose built hand helds from the likes of Symbol/Motorola. Mobile workers that use notebooks almost always use them on carts, which is a tiny market. The notebook PC is simply too awkward in this use case. I agree that this is a huge market for iOS, but the victim is not PC's. It is other hand helds, plus pen and paper.
- The President of the United States, the Queen of England, the entire British Parliament now use iPads for tasks that were formally done with desktops and notebooks. Thankfully, politicians and Queens are a tiny market, so this has not moved the needle in any material way
Stop thinking in terms of computers and start thinking in terms of jobs to be done. I feel that this is how I am already thinking. The vast majority of PC'S in use today have been hired for stationary or limited mobility jobs. One of your examples has been the physician. I have watched wave after wave of technology attempt to meet their mobile needs. Everything else has failed miserably including slates and PC'S. The iPad is the first device they have embraced. However the victim in most cases will be the paper chart, not the PC. That PC will run their practice still. There is no real need to replace that function with something else like an iPad. So for this class of worker, the iPad is meeting a distinct need that will not displace a PC.
The desktop computer is moving to niche status because, like the backhoe, oven and train, we only need them for the really big jobs. Right now 90% of our computers (not counting phones) are notebooks or desktops but 80% of our jobs can be done and done better on a tablet. Tomorrow, that balance is going to redress itself. In the very near future, most people will be buying tablets because tablets will be the tool best suited for the job it is being hired to do. 80 or 90% of jobs does not equal 80 or 90% of customers. If a particular customer has a 10% or 20% need that must be done on a PC, then they cannot replace their PC with an iPad. They can add an iPad as a supplemental device and spend most of their time on it, but they cannot get rid of their PC altogether.
I know that you have a very different point of view on this than I do and if you can see logical holes in my argument, I encourage you to (gently) show me the error of my ways. I feel pretty confident about this and I'dl like to know if there's something I'm missing or if I'm somewhere made a misstep.I agree that the iPad market is huge. My belief though is that the lions share of growth is going to come from doing entirely new jobs, and not by replacing the job that is currently being done by the PC. I see this first hand in my business. I know of a utility that intends to give every one of their linemen an iPhone. The use case is new and does not replace the PC. I see this happening over and over again in the Enterprise at least. iOS devices being hired to do entirely new jobs I look forward to your (and to all of your) response(s).
They're making a big deal about these keyboard covers. They better live up to the hype. My guess is people who spend a lot of time on keyboards will not be happy with anything less than a full-size keyboard with full-travel keys.
Microsoft has no confidence in the tablet. Think about their presentation. First, they show us a tablet. Then they try to turn the tablet into a notebook.
- They make a big fuss about the integrated keyboards. Keyboards are great, but if they were essential, then people wouldn't be buying tablets in the first place.
- They have a kickstand. They think its important enough that they build it in and spend tremendous amounts of resources on it in order to make it feel and sound just right. A kickstand implies that that the device is sitting on a table. Tablets are occasionally propped on tables. But their primary purpose is to be held. The kickstand is trying to make the tablet into a desktop device.
- The camera on the back of the Surface angles up an 22 degrees. This means that it works great when the Surface is on a table leaning back on its kickstand. But its pretty awkward to use when you're holding the tablet in your hands. Again, Microsoft wants this to be sitting on a table, not held in your hands.
Think what we're talking about here. Microsoft has taken its focus off the tablet and they've put all their focus on making the tablet into a hybrid by adding a kickstand, a pen and a keyboard. These are peripherals, not the main product. They're the garnish, not the meal. It would be like Apple creating a new iPod and then spending all of their presentation time on the the smart cover. Take a look at how Microsoft displays the Surface. You will never see it without it leaning back on its kickstand with the keyboard in front. They want you to think of it as a notebook resting on a flat surface first and foremost.
Microsoft is not selling a tablet. They're selling a light, portable notebook that you can use as a tablet, in a pinch.
great post - the point about the camera angle not working unless on a table is rather obvious now that you have said it - what a rediculous decision to make for a tablet product (unless they are thinking exactly like you suggest - its really a laptop).
You know, I put all the pieces together last night, but it just now occurred to me that the word "Surface" could be a double entendre. Obviously the word "Surface" is meat to describe the device. But the word "Surface" may also, unintentionally, describe where Microsoft expects the device to be used - on a flat "surface".
Freudian slip on the part of Microsoft?
As I've said, look at the Surface about page on Microsoft's website.
First photo says it all.
Man alive, if that picture doesn't drive home the fact that Microsoft thinks that the Surface is really a notebook, nothing will.
I wonder why we are spending so much time discussing a product none of us has touched?
I spend a lot of my time talking about money and women that I'm never going to touch. So what's your point?
Seriously, the reason we're talking about it is two-fold. First, this represents the future of Microsoft. If they don't break into tablets now, they're likely to be shut out. And if they're shut out of tablets, they're shut out of the future of computing.
Second, we're trying to see if we can clarify Microsoft's thinking and the thinking of the market. Clearly, if Microsoft doesn't execute, then the product is dead. But is it also dead if they do execute? In other words, it doesn't matter how well they do a thing if they're doing the wrong thing.

+1. As a long term investor, I think there is a lot of value in this discussion. When Microsoft makes a new play in mobile, it is important. There is lots of air time in other threads about more short term stuff. You don't see most of us showing up on those threads questioning why they exist.

Programmers are most at ease in RAM. RAM is spacious and flexible.
Programmer are least comfortable with
1. user input
2. user output
3. device compatibility
4. file compatibility
User input
1. Stylus—I have actually might like a stylus more than touch. I may change my mind if I lose the stylus.
2. Keyboard ... same old same old. I have a keyboard and a Mac. No value proposition yet
3. finger input ———
You know, a good program can be written very well the first time. But what if there's a bug deep in the OS that has to be worked around. Now the programmer has a lot UI checking to think about.
What if the customers push for a different UI ? Same thing but worse. First one must placate the customers. Meanwhile and thereafter a new UI is decided, programmed, debugged and put on the market.
I doubt the programmers will get any sleep if MS is serious about a Surface push.
Surface is inextricably connected to Windows 8. That's probably not a good thing.
One of the biggest problems Microsoft will face with the Windows 8 platforms is that they?re effectively starting from zero apps. What can Microsoft do to encourage developers to create great Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 apps?
The author, Marco Arment, addresses both RT and x86 apps, but we're concerned only with the former.
The even bigger problem, I think, will be the lack of dogfooding: most developers of the kind of apps Windows 8 needs don?t use Windows.
The term ?developers? includes quite a lot of fairly different professions, but the kind of developers that Microsoft needs to consistently build killer Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps are generally developers who enjoy working individually, in smaller companies, or in startups, building consumer-facing apps or services.
By 2005 or so, most of those developers were working on web apps. The web was the platform for that kind of work for most of that decade.
And during that decade, almost every such developer I knew switched to the Mac if they weren?t already there, partly because it was better for developing web apps.
... the success of Windows 8 and Windows Phone in the consumer space requires many of those consumer-product developers, now entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, to care so much about Windows development that they want to use Windows to develop for it.
How likely is that?
A business strategy view of Microsoft Surface move
Around the time the iPad came out more than two years ago, Microsoft executives got an eye-opening jolt about how far Apple would go to gain an edge for its products.
And some cues from Paul Krugman
The Hart of the Matter
And now for something completely different: I haven?t seen anyone point this out, but the very interesting Times story on why Microsoft is building its own tablet was a perfect illustration of Oliver Hart?s theory of the firm.
Just briefly: the theory of the firm asks why we sometimes rely on contracts ? I sign an agreement with your company to make my widget ? and sometimes go for direct control: I employ people to make widgets. Hart (and others) argue that such things depend crucially on our inability to write complete contracts, specifying all details ? and that the incompleteness of contracts can pose problems for investment decisions. For example, if you contract with other people to build equipment, they may be unwilling to invest in quality in the belief that you will use your sole-buyer status to extract the benefits.
And that, apparently, is exactly what has been going on with Microsoft; its reliance on other people to build computers using its software worked very well for a long time, but lately Apple?s control-freak approach has been winning out.
My favorite from FalKirk's latest tech.pinions article:
Why is Microsoft?s Surface obsessed with Keyboards?
This week marks the fifth anniversary of the iPhone. The iPhone now generates nearly $25 billion in revenue per quarter or over $100 billion per year. And ? are you ready for this ? the iPhone, all by itself, is bigger than ALL of Microsoft. That?s right, one single product, that didn?t exist five years ago, is now bigger than Microsoft?
?and it doesn?t even have a keyboard.
Mr. Kirk looks…different than I'd envisioned him.
But the man can write!
The Summer of AAPL is here. Enjoy it (responsibly) while it lasts.
AFB Night Owl Team™
Thanks, Steve.

Keyboard are important. Even in the latest Star Trek movie—- oh forget that. It looks more iPad or giant Surface touch pad than a keyboard.
I need a keyboard, I swear.
I'm glad Microsoft likes keyboards because I do. I wish it was as light and good looking as my Mac keyboard. MS and Apple should cooperate in this issue.
Back to the design of the Surface. I bet the majority of designers of the Surface dont want their names in public.

And Snow It Goes
A lift ticket cost just five dollars when Keystone opened forty years ago. An adult ticket this weekend will set you back as much as $67 (order online for best discounts), but instead of the four lifts on the hill in 1970, you now get access to twenty lifts and 3,148 skiable acres, including North Peak (which opened in 1986), The Outback (1990) and Independence Bowl (2006). If I hopped into the hot-tub time machine to 1970, I think I would see some really cool hair and some really funky ski gear, says Keystone spokesman Ryan Whaley (born in 1978). I might even recognize some people, because one of the neat things about Keystone is that there are a lot of folks who were skiing here in 1970 who are still skiing here, and some of the original employees are still working here.
A time traveler heading in the opposite direction might be baffled by more modern touches, including night skiing (added in 1985), snowboarding (first allowed at Keystone in 1996), the A51 Terrain Park (1999), the eight-person River Run Gondola (2008) or the brand-new EpicMix, a social-media app that uses on-mountain scanners and passive radio frequency chips embedded in lift tickets and season passes to help visitors shout their wintry accomplishments to the world via Facebook and Twitter.
Keystones offering a special $40/person room rate at its resorts this weekend, and will be advertising other deals at Facebook.com/Keystone.
For the full fortieth-anniversary experience, break out your vintage gear, pick up a throwback trail map and commemorative beanie, then head for the Argentine fixed-grip, two-person lift on Dercum Mountain: Its the last of Keystones original chair-lifts still in operation.

The Consumer Electronics Show, CES, the largest consumer electronics trade show in the world, has kicked off again for another year in Las Vegas. There may be other shows, but they're small fry compared to CES. This is the one that counts; the mecca for all technology enthusiasts.
CES proper actually doesn't start until the Thursday but the Wednesday still meant a packed out schedule for journalists with each company eager to get the world's tech journalists excited about their vision and their products. And as ever, there were some major announcement made on the first day. We're going to kick off with just a couple of items but they'll be more to follow.
As is traditional, LG got in there with the very first press conference of the day. Things kicked off with a slightly cheesy video that was used to visually how LG products tie in with its slogan of 'Life's Good'. Well, it's certainly better than the 'Lucky Goldstar' that LG used to stand for.
Obviously, the most immediate thing that I noticed was the 71in plasma placed in front of me in the room. The 71PY10 features a no compromise 1,920 x 1,080p resolution, and positively, dwarfed the 50in plasma that was next to it. Not to be outdone though, there was also a 71in rear projection set, based on LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technology.
LG also announced four plasmas with integrated DVRs with the integrated hard disk enabling them to record HDTV directly without the need for an external player. Some of its TVs can have cable TV integrated too, though that's only relevant for the US as there's no equivalent in the UK.

Four Methods:Creating a Stake CorralPea StakingSingle Staking a BushStaking a TreeCommunity Q&A
Planting large bushes and trees are great for adding coverage in a garden, but in the beginning, the plants may not be able to support themselves. In order to give your plants the best chance at becoming strong and large, you may need to stake them for support. The process is easy, but you'll have to decide which method of staking is best for you and your garden based on the types of plants you're growing.
Creating a Stake Corral
1Get your supplies ready. A stake corral is a method of staking a bush or small tree by creating a 'fence' around it for the branches and limbs to rest on. To create a stake corral, you'll need 3-4 stakes and thick linen string. Bamboo stakes or plastic coated metal stakes will work nicely, as these will blend in without damaging the plant.
- If you're up for spending a bit of money, specialty 'L-shaped' stakes can be purchased to form a corral.
2Insert your stakes. If you have three stakes, create a triangle shape around the perimeter of the plant. If you have four, create a rectangle or square around the bush. Keep in mind that you want to try to space each of the stakes equally apart around the plant.
3Add your 'corral'. Select a location halfway up or higher on the stakes for your first tier. Wrap the string around the stakes in the same location on each, pulling the string taut as you work. When you get back to the start, tie the ends of the string together in a knot and cut the loose ends. For a large plant, you may have to repeat this process and create multiple tiers of string to hold the plant in.
4Adjust your corral over time. The idea of the corral is to give small plants some structure to lean against as they begin growing. Once your plant has reached a more mature size, you can remove the corral completely or adjust it so that the plant is given more room to grow. If you don't remove the corral, you may stunt the growth of your plant or damage pre-existing limbs.[1]
Pea Staking
1Select a variety of branches for staking. The concept behind pea staking is that you use dead branches as natural stakes, both to blend into the garden and to degrade over time on their own. This style of staking works best for bushes and plants with a spreading growth habit. Head out into the woods and find a few sturdy old branches. They needn't be very large, but you need them to be strong enough to give support to your bush.
2Place your branch stakes. Stick your branches into the ground 6–8 inches (15.2–20.3 cm) deep, so that they won't be blown over in the wind. Space them out around your plant to either create a corral-type perimeter, or to hold up branches that need support. You can use many branches to support each limb, or just one or two to give support to the largest limbs.
3Adjust your stakes over time. If your branches are old/thin enough, they'll likely fall over and begin to decompose on their own over time. If you chose sturdier branches, however, you'll have to move them outwards consistent with the growth of your plant. Remember that eventually when your bush reaches maturity, it may not need stakes in order to be supported, as its own branch system should be strong enough to hold itself up.
Single Staking a Bush
1Select your stakes. If you're working with a plant that grows upwards rather than outwards (like a tomato plant), you may want to consider single staking it. Select a stake for this - typically bamboo stakes or plastic-coated metal stakes work the best. You'll also need some string; linen thread or yarn will work.
2Locate the primary branch. Once your plant has been planted, look for the primary branch that supports the most growth. This is typically near the center, but if you have a plant that has split down the center, there may be two 'primary' branches.
3Insert the stake. Dig a hole 6–8 inches (15.2–20.3 cm) deep about 2 inches (5.1 cm) from the base of the primary branch. Stick the stake in the ground, tamping the soil near the base and verifying that it is totally vertical.
4Tie the branches to the stake. Cut small pieces of string/yarn to attach the branches to the stake. Tie the primary branch in 2-3 locations to the stake, spacing out the ties so as to firmly support the branch. You shouldn't need to tie smaller branches to the stake, unless you have multiple stakes spread out around the plant.
5Adjust your stakes over time. When your plant has grown large enough, it will either need to have the stakes removed completely or relocated. Pull up the stakes and determine what your course of action should be. If you choose to relocate them, place them in locations so as to support the heaviest branches.[2]
Staking a Tree
1Know when to stake. Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary to stake every newly planted, small tree. Trees should only be staked if they are in a location that received heavy winds, trees that are planted in very sandy soil, and trees that are quite tall but have a small root ball. Remember that even if you do choose to stake a tree, you should remove the ties as soon as you are able. Trees that are left staked into maturity will be damaged by the ties and much weaker than trees that are not staked.
2Select your supplies. To stake a tree, it is typically recommended that you use two tall, thin stakes made from bamboo or metal. The stakes should only be tall enough to reach the top of the trunk, but not to interfere with the branches. You'll also need ties to attach the tree to the stakes. Use ties that are wide, flat, and flexible. Nylon stockings or flat elastic can work nicely for this.
- Never use wire or rubber hose to stake your tree, as these will grow into the trunk and damage it over time.
3Place your stakes. Your stakes should be placed equidistant from the trunk, about one foot away on each side of the tree. Place the first stake on the side that the wind typically comes from, and the other stake directly opposite that. This will help to keep the tree stable in poor weather and storms. Make sure that the stakes are buried deep enough in the ground that they do not give when pushed against; they need to be firm in order to support your tree.
4Add the ties. You'll need two ties to support your tree; the ties should be in the same location, but each will attach the trunk to the opposite stake. Wrap the flat side of the tie around the trunk, keeping it taut to provide support. Tie the wrap around the stake firmly, and then cut off the excess.
5Adjust the stakes over time. Trees will naturally become stable and sturdy enough to support their frame, so the stakes that you supply them with will never need to be permanent. When the tree has had enough time to let its roots expand and for it to grow a bit stronger, you should cut the ties and remove the stakes. If at any time the ties begin digging into the tree, they should be removed along with the stakes to prevent further damage.
Community Q&A
How do I make my rose bushes stand straight?wikiHow ContributorIt depends if they are a single-stock bush or a multi-stock bush. If single, be sure to have them well packed so they can't lean. As they grow, be sure to support the stems until they are mature and hardy. If they are a multi-stem bush, be sure to clear out old growth and keep only 1-3 year stems. Older than that and they cause the bush to spread and become overgrown.
I have a Russian sage that is huge - it's so heavy that the branches touch the ground. It's as tall as i am, 5'6". Is there a way for me to make it grow shorter? I trim it each spring.wikiHow ContributorI'm guessing you trim back the old growth in the spring. You should indeed do this. Once the new leaves emerge to about 6" of new growth, you can trim any old growth away. Depending on your growing season, your sage should be ready for another trim in about 4-6 weeks. You can now take off up to about 1/3 of your plant's height. (i.e.: if your plant is 3 feet tall, you can trim off 1 foot.) You can continue in this pattern for the rest of the season. This will also help promote more blooms, if it has been struggling with that.
Is it okay to stake mature shrubs to limit direction of growth?
How do I stake a fuschia bush that is leaning?
- When pounding takes near a plant, be careful of roots that you could damage. Damaging a couple may be OK, but if you put stakes all around then you might be damaging too many roots.
- If wind is a problem, anchor the stakes into the ground with guy wires or strong rope in at least three directions.
- After you stake the plant, wait a few days and check the stakes and ropes. Are the stakes still in the ground straight? They might need to be pounded down more. Are the ropes still tight? If they have come slack or loose, re-tie them to the stakes.
- If a stem actually breaks, you must cut it off, and try to support nearby stems. If a plant droops too much, you won't have upright growth or a nice shape without major pruning, rather than simply staking it more and more.
Things You'll Need
- Stake poles of wood, bamboo, metal or plastic, at least three feet tall (up to 8 feet tall), at least 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) x 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) square.
- Strips of twine, plastic, or rubber
- A large hammer or mallet to pound stakes
- Pruning shears for trimming
- Stakes for guy wires if used

In a repeat of Friday's outcomes, Illinois State, Wichita State and Bradley came out victorious again on Saturday, clinching the series win for each squad. The Redbirds clinched their first series win over Creighton since 2001, and the first in Omaha since 1986, behind a solid pitching performance by Brad Sorkin. The Shockers got out to an early lead and hung on to top the Salukis, 9-1, while the Braves won their first series over the Bears since 2000 with a 6-4 victory in Peoria.
In Saturday non-conference action, Indiana State evened the series with The Citadel, taking game two by a score of 11-7, while Evansville fell in the final contest of its three-game series with Dallas Baptist, 8-2.
OMAHA, Neb. - Brad Sorkin scattered three hits and held Creighton scoreless through 6.2 innings while pitching Illinois State to a 5-2, series-clinching win over the Bluejays at CU Sports Complex Saturday afternoon. The win secured Illinois State's first series win over Creighton since 2001, and first series win against the Blujays in Omaha since 1986.
Sorkin didn't allow more than two runners on base until the sixth inning and never let a runner past second base while shutting out the Jays until he left in the seventh with two outs. Illinois State (14-14, 4-1 MVC) pushed across five runs on 13 hits to take a 2-0 lead in the weekend series with Creighton (14-11, 3-5 MVC). Sorkin and Illinois State reliever Cam Verbeke combined to strike out four batters in the seventh - one reached on a dropped third strike - and were one out away from a shutout before pinch-hitter Joey Bowens tripled with two on and two outs in the ninth off Kenny Long.
Kevin Tokarski led off the game with a double and after a sacrifice bunt by Chad Hinshaw, was driven in on a single by Jake Thornton for the game's first run. It was the first of three hits for Thornton, and the first of two runs Tokarski would score in the contest.
Illinois State added two more runs in the fourth after back-to-back hits by Ty Wiesemeyer and Ryan Court to lead off the inning set up RBI situations for Zach Amrein and Chad Hinshaw. Amrein pushed across Wiesemeyer with a sacrifice fly and Hinshaw singled in Court after the Bluejays intentionally walked Tokarski to get the freshman to the plate. The Redbirds scored two more runs on Creighton starter Brandon Koenigstein (3-1) in the sixth to take a 6-0 lead.
Sorkin (3-1) faced just one over the minimum through the first three innings and two over the minimum through five. The freshman from Buffalo Grove, Ill., fanned two batters in the first three innings but relied on his defense by inducing five ground balls through the first three innings. Sorkin got a lift from his catcher Matt Mirabal, who caught Trever Adams trying to swipe second in the first inning, and got a 6-4-3 double play after walking the leadoff man in the second.
Zane Hinkel doubled with two outs in the third inning for Creighton's first hit, and later reached second in the sixth inning after being hit by a pitch and moving over on a wild pitch. He was the only Bluejay player to reach second safely in the contest. Sorkin induced another double play ball with two runners on in the sixth. Court fielded the chopper at third, stepped on the bag and threw across the diamond to end the inning. Court had five assists in the game, including a throw from his knees after diving to the left to end the eighth.
Sorkin struck out three in the seventh - the third reaching on a dropped third strike - and left the game after reaching his pitch count. Verbeke entered the game and struck out Ian Dike, the only batter he faced in the game. Long pitched a scoreless eighth and retired the first two batters of the ninth before walking two batters. Bowens replaced Dike and cracked a bases clearing triple before Clay Cuno flied out to left to end the game.
Thornton (3), Court (2), Tokarski (2), Anthony Ruffolo (2) and Ty Wiesemeyer (2) all had multiple hit games for the Redbirds. Wiesemeyer's double to lead off the fourth was his first hit as a Redbird.
Adams had two of three hits for Creighton off Sorkin. Hinkel and Bowens also had hits for the Bluejays. The series concludes Sunday at 1 p.m., with left-handed freshman Ty Blach starting for Creighton against an undetermined starter for Illinois State.
WICHITA, Kan. - Wichita State got out to a hot start for the second game in a row, building a big lead and hanging onto it to clinch the series victory against the Southern Illinois Salukis, 9-1.
For the second game in a row, the Shockers (21-9, 7-1) got the bats going early. On Saturday afternoon, WSU put a four-spot up in the team's first trip to the plate and wouldn't need more than that, although the Shocks weren't done for the day.
Senior outfielder Ryan Jones led the charge at the plate, going 3-for-3 that included a two-run opposite field bomb. Junior designated hitter Preston Springer chipped in four more RBI during his 2-for-4 effort.
For the Salukis (15-16, 4-4), just three hitters collected all but two of Southern Illinois' hits. Second baseman Blake Pinnon posted a three-hit performance to pace the offense. Left fielder Nick Johnson notched the Salukis' only RBI when he was hit by a Tim Kelley (5-1) pitch with the bases loaded.
Kelley (5-1) became the first Shocker pitcher to five wins this season after a seven-inning, one-run performance. The redshirt junior surrendered eight hits, walked one and struck out seven on Saturday. Right-hander Nick Forer (1-2) took the loss for SIU. After giving up six runs - just one earned - in the first two innings, the Saluki starter settled in and threw four scoreless innings.
Kelley allowed two hits on two pitches to start the game, but didn't let the Salukis get any further from there. A strikeout and a come-backer ended the threat. Had Kelley not worked himself out of the early jam, however, his offense would have done so for him.
Two Saluki errors aided a four-run Shocker first. Another SIU miscue in the Shockers' following at bat allowed Jones an earlier trip to the plate. He capitalized on the opportunity. With the wind on his side, Jones smacked an opposite-field home run to left, giving the Shockers the 6-0 lead heading into the third.
A leadoff single from center fielder Chris Murphy, a one-out walk and another single loaded the bases for Southern Illinois in the top of the third. After Johnson was hit by a pitch to bring Murphy home, Kelley struck and flew out the next two batters to end the threat.
Kelley finished the seventh before handing the 6-1 lead over to senior reliever Cobey Guy for the eighth and ninth innings. The Shocker bats gave Guy some support, as well. In the bottom of the eighth, freshman Nate Goro crushed a one-out double to the right field corner and scored on freshman second baseman Walker Davidson's base knock. Springer's single to right posted the last two runs of the game to give the Shockers the 9-1 victory.
The final game of the series is set for Sunday at 1 p.m.
PEORIA, Ill. - Bradley (8-17, 2-6 MVC) scored five of its six runs with two outs, including three in the bottom of the seventh, for a 6-4 Missouri Valley Conference victory over Missouri State (12-18, 1-4 MVC) Saturday afternoon at O'Brien Field.
Senior catcher Kevin Sullivan put the Braves up 1-0 in the first with a two-out single to left field that scored sophomore third baseman Rob Elliott. Missouri State tied the game in its half of the second, but Bradley answered with another two-out run in the bottom half to regain the lead. After two quick outs, senior first baseman Mike McMillan singled up the middle and scored on a double by freshman shortstop Jason Leblebijian to make the score 2-1.
The Bears plated two runs on three hits in the fifth to gain a 3-2 edge, but Bradley responded by stealing a run in the bottom half to tie the score. Elliott reached on an error by Missouri State shortstop Travis McComack, stole second and advanced to third on an infield single by junior outfielder Brian Martin. With Sullivan at the plate, Martin attempted to steal second, but was caught in a rundown. The speedy junior survived in the pickle long enough for Elliott to score from third to tie the game at 3-3.
Missouri State regained the lead in the sixth on an RBI single by Kevin Medrano and held its 4-3 edge until the bottom of the seventh. Leblebijian reached on an error to start the inning, stole second and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by senior second baseman Matt Fritz. With the Missouri State infield drawn in, Elliott grounded a ball to McComack and Leblebijian broke for home. McComack fired to the plate just in time to retire the Bradley freshman and preserve MSU's one-run lead.
With two outs in the seventh and Martin at the plate, Elliott swiped his third base of the day to move into scoring position. Elliott's speed paid off, as Martin doubled to right-center field to tie the score at 4-4. The Braves then used back-to-back doubles by Sullivan and sophomore designated hitter Brad Kimball to plate two more runs in the inning for a 6-4 lead.
Junior right-hander Patrick Cooper entered the game for Bradley in the eighth and held Missouri State hitless in the final two innings to preserve the win, 6-4.
Martin, Sullivan, McMillan and Leblebijian each had two hits for the Braves, while Sullivan finished with two RBI's, including the game-winner. Senior right-hander Kori Jensen earned the win for Bradley, allowing three runs on six hits in 3.1 innings of relief work. Cooper picked up his first save of the season.
The Braves and Bears will wrap up their three-game set Sunday, April 11 at 1 p.m.

Zags should no longer surprise us
Originally Published: December 30, 2004By Fran Fraschilla | Special to ESPN Insider
No team in the country has three better nonconference victories than Gonzaga as the Bulldogs enter Thursday night's game at Missouri. And their convincing victories over Washington, Georgia Tech and Oklahoma State say all you need to know about the Zags as a Final Four contender.
How could Gonzaga end up in St. Louis? First, keep in mind that the Bulldogs have already played three top-five teams Illinois, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State. And the Yellow Jackets and the Cowboys return the majority of their players from last year's teams that advanced to the Final Four in San Antonio.
In addition, not many teams have two contenders for first-team All-America honors like Gonzaga has. Sure, North Carolina has Rashad McCants, Sean May and Raymond Felton; Oklahoma State has John Lucas and Joey Graham; and Duke has Shelden Williams, Daniel Ewing and J.J. Redick. But Adam Morrison and Ronny Turiaf are as good a 1-2 punch as any in the country.

If we did, it certainly would have saved me disappointments on purchases over the years. I have defiantly bought some things I was sorry I ever got, if I'd had that option it would saved me some grief on that count.
Well here we are down the road several box's later with the "Bodyguard" and I have to say overall it's pretty decent.
EVEN FOR A TUPPERWARE GUN!!!! There I said it,,
I like this plastic gun :wow:,,,, let the abuse begin!!!!
I've put everything but the kitchen sink through it now,, and not a hick up. Very accurate, as a matter of fact it's surprised me just how accurate it really is for a mouse gun! The recoil is very mandible too, the slide springs are very well matched for the recoil. After a box and a half your pretty much ready to put it down for a bit though, it is pretty small after all and not a target gun. It seems the out gassing has gone away too, at least the last session with it I didn't notice any.
Now for the bad news,,,I found something that is just a bit disconcerting with this gun.
I'd been out and about and was clearing it at the dinning room table and when I pulled back the slide and the cartridge was 1/2 way out and the slide slipped out of my bad hand and discharged the cartridge out of battery,,,killing the TV, dead center!!!!! I was alone and my muzzle control was good,,THANK GOD,,, it's the very first accidental discharge I've ever had. Other than from a Remington with a bad trigger group. But that was at the range and proper muzzle control saved the day there too. Never forget the basics,, no matter how long you've been shooting!!! It's critical. I just proved that.
After examining the case I found that where the ejector protrudes from the slide it made a perfect straight line across-ed the back of the case and primer, sorry I couldn't get a decent pic of it to show you what happened. It fired out of battery and gave me some minor powder burns on my palm and scuffed up my thumb some when the slide came back, but nothing serious. I sent the barrel out to have it "magni-fluxed" and all was OK, no damage to the gun,, just the TV,,,well my fuggy drawers too, extra Clorox was required there!!!!!!! WHAT A FRIGGIN SURPRISE!!
It's certainly not the guns fault, just my damaged nerves going into spasm mode at the worst possible moment. I can possibly see where this could be an issue for someone with weak hands though as the spring is rather stiff and the slide so small. The slide is machined with a small protrusion that shields the ejector and that was obviously the cause of this happening,, so be aware of that when unloading one of these little buggers. Something like this ,,Can,, happen, even with the up-most of care being taken when unloading it.
I must say I do like it very much after all is said and done, but the price is still to high IMO,,,but what isn't lately????? Even though this happened, which was my own fault,,, It's a awesome little gun and I have now changed my views on plastic framed guns,,,,Amassing ain't it???? I polished up the barrel , slide and frame rails and feed ramp. That really smoothed it up quite well. Now for the long travel in the trigger, which isn't really bad at all and it has a quite predictable hammer fall, but just me being fussy again,,,,I gather from my research there is a kit available to eliminate that long travel issue.
I know the odds of that discharge happening are a million to one, but I've shown,,,,it can happen if your not SUPER careful. That slide is very small to get a good grip on, especially with my buggered up hand,, be careful .
It is a great little carry piece, for sure though and I have no questions about how it will perform. Great accuracy and 100% reliable after >6-7 box's of many different types of ammo and projectiles being put through it.
If you can get one for a decent price,,I highly recommend them. Just remember the things I've mentioned before. I still think a few extra slots milled into the slide would make it easier to get a better grip on the slide and the somewhat weak laser are the only negatives with this rig I've found. Otherwise a great little carry piece. And to be honest if you don't have buggered up hands like me the slide will probably be just fine for most folks.
And that's the complete and honest review of this rig, right down to the most picky of things. So,, FU,, if the wiffey likes them, they have my thumbs up. Hope this helps ya out in your decisions.
We don't need to worry about the children. We need to worry about our TV's when TWA is around! :bleh:
It's OK Hillery was on at the time and I just couldn't find the remote ,,,, there, didn't have to listen to her after all!!! Take that!!!!! :geezer::lol::lol:
Smart ass jrs!!!
But seriously that sure took me by surprise!! That ejector needs to be flush with the ejection port, not protruding. But most people can control there hands better than me so it will probably never happen to anyone else, but defiantly something I thought I'd better point out. Look at one next time you see one and you'll see what I mean about the ejector protruding from the slide into the ejection port.
Thanks very much for the review.
I really do like it for a compact carry piece ,,I'm just EXTRA,,EXTRA careful unloading it now though!!!!
Has anyone checked them out after my review and noticed how the ejector protrudes?? I think you'll see how this happened. That may end up a design change later if others report that as I did.
Other than that I really like it. I Still can't believe how accurate it is!!! How do they do it???? I can hit a beer can every single time at 50' with no issue at all!! That's amassing for a rig of that size. Dare I say,,, it just might even give my CZ's and Beretta's a run for there money. This one might be a fluke, but this particular one,, sure as Hell,, is accurate! And the sights are about the best I found in this class of gun. You can actually hit something by using them!! Amassing!!
I still think they should come with 2 mags and a lower price tag though.
Yes thank you for the great review.
I am starting a new job very soon. Ill be walking several blocks to/from my car in the city around 11pm, and my required attire will not lend to concealing my snub SP101 that I normally carry. I was looking at the Ruger LCP and the Bodyguard, Im definitely gonna check one of those suckers out now.
Just watch out for those desperado TV's !!! jimranor21,,,,,:lol::lol:
Those slides could use a bit better or more groves in them IMO. But as I said it could have been just me. Sometimes when I get those spasms in my shoulder and neck, my hand just looses all control and strength and my fingers just lock up pointing straight out and go numb,,,it sucks!
Puts a damper on my big bore rifle and shotgun shooting too. Ar's ,22's and handguns are mostly all I can shoot now without paying for it later! Sucks too, I took years to gather a nice collection now I can't use most of them. Saves ammo though,,,,I guess !!

text: A Houlton man who claims he was trying to teach his two boys meditation, is accused of burning them with a cigarette.28-year old Adam Maguire was arrested Sunday afternoon.According to Houlton Police, Maguire is charged with Violating Conditions of Release (Class E), two (2) counts of Domestic Violence Assault (Class D), two (2) counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child (Class D). Authorities say Maguire burned his 12 and 13 year olds in an attempt to show them pain compliance while meditating. Police found marks on their upper back and neck areas. They're described as superficial.Maguire reportedly told a detective that he has a history of self-mutilation.  Houlton police say Maguire's girlfriend told them the couple was showing the two boys meditation techniques. They thought meditation would be helpful because the 13 year old boy had been diagnosed with ADHD. The boys were informed that when you clear your mind, you are no longer susceptible to pain. The matter was referred to the Houlton Police Department by the Department of Health and Human Services, according to Houlton Police Chief Butch Asselin. The two children are now staying with relatives. We're told Maguire is currently on probation for the December 2008 Andy's IGA burglary.Â

Date of Stay: February, 2008
I've stayed at this park off and on for several years now and I disagree with some of the comments about the staff. From what I've observed, if people respect the park and it's guests, there are no issues. I think people forget that this is an RV resort and not the desert or a campground. Some people are there to relax and some people are there to party. In order to please everyone, there must be a balance and sometimes the staff is forced to be direct and it may come across as arrogant but I have never experienced this. I will tell you that this place is family-owned and operated, along with some very nice non-family staff. They are religious and care about every guest's safety and happyness. As for the homeless people in the park and the nearby street, that is something that goes with being close to the beach. I have never seen any odd-looking street person wandering around the park and I feel safe there. This park is extremely clean with a nice ocean breeze, beach access, gorgeous sunsets and you can see the stars at night. Sure, the trains can be irritating but last I checked, the railroad runs up and down the coast. If you stay at any hotel or RV park on the coast in North San Diego, you have to deal with the trains and homeless people. The bottom line is that if everyone respects this place, you will not have problems.
Date of Stay: September, 2007
Nice park but i was next to some noisy neighbors and a barking dog. I have no pets but I do not mind them as long as they don't bark all night!
Date of Stay: August, 2007
I love this park. I stayed here for 3 months and loved it. If you like lots of shade, this is your park. It's kind of run down as far as level sites but there's just something about this place that gives it charm. It's one of my favorite RV parks I've stayed at.
Date of Stay: June, 2007
Very fun and relaxing park. I love the staff.
Date of Stay: June, 2007
This is a great park but at the end of the day, it's in Escondido. There's not much more to say. The park is beautiful and clean but like i said, it's in Escondido.

Citation: Bower, C.K., Malemute, C.L. 2005. Utilization of salmon by-products in rural Alaska. American Association for the Advancement of Science Meeting. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Marine fishing operations in Alaska may be discarding up to 60% of their landed weight as processing waste. Solutions to this problem may be found by examining traditional Alaskan methods for utilizing salmon by-products. This preliminary Salmon By-Product survey was conducted at the 2005 Yukon 800 Boat Race in Galena. Results indicated that all people surveyed ate the salmon fillets, roe, skin, and heads. Some villagers consumed the oil (47%) and a few ate the viscera (26%). Salmon were most often preserved by smoking, canning, or freezing, with about half of the respondents pickling or salting the fish instead. Approximately 25% of the salmon was fed to dogs, usually after cooking it. Fish bones and viscera were most often discarded back into the river as waste. Non-food uses for salmon by-products were less commonly reported. The results of this survey suggest that villages such as Galena, harbor a wealth of fish preservation knowledge, which may prove valuable for solving the by-product disposal problems currently found in larger fishing communities. The survey also uncovered potential small business opportunities for village-based salmon fisheries. It may be possible to utilize a greater percentage of each salmon, and at the same time increase village revenue by tapping into emerging markets such as fish oils and fish-leather.

It aims to encourage passengers to give up their seats to mothers-to-be who are often forced to stand.
Ken Livingstone was announcing full details of how the scheme will operate at High Street Kensington Tube station.
It follows an earlier attempt by the Mayor to resolve the problem by giving pregnant women badges declaring their expectant status, in the hope that other passengers would make way for them.
A recent survey found that London is the least sympathetic place in Britain towards mothers-to-be. About a third of women said they had never been offered a seat while travelling during pregnancy.
The survey of more than 500 new mothers, carried out by London Underground, found those given a seat had to stand for an average of five stops beforehand.
One in five spent more than £100 on taxis during pregnancy to avoid using the Tube.
Karlene Davis, general secretary of the Royal College of Midwives, said: " Offering assistance to pregnant women is not just a matter of courtesy, it's a matter of health. Pregnancy is stressful."
Jo deBank of London TravelWatch said: "Anything encouraging people to be more aware of pregnant women is welcome."Reuse content

For the first time, researchers have identified a peptide that can spur cargo transport in nerve cells, a discovery that could help scientists better understand nerve cell function and test possible therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.
Elaine Bearer, a professor at Brown Medical School, led the research, which was conducted at the MBL (Marine Biological Laboratory) in Woods Hole, Mass., where Bearer was a Dart Scholar and is a Whitman investigator. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences online early edition, the research shows that a peptide, or protein bit, can hitch biological material onto molecular motor machinery, acting as a "ZIP Code" that directs the shipment to the synapse.
The peptide comes from amyloid precursor protein, or APP, a principal component of plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. Scientists have long known that APP can break down and form these plaques and that mutations in this protein lead to early onset of Alzheimer's disease. Until now, however, little was understood about the function of APP in healthy nerve cells.
The research also sheds light on the complex intracellular transport system inside nerve cells. This transport system is critical to nervous system function, bringing proteins and RNA from the cell body down a neuron's spindly axon to the synapse, the major site of information exchange and storage in the nervous system. Without this precious cargo, neurons can't communicate. Memories can't be made. Learning can't take place. And neurons die.
"This neuronal transport system is incredibly important, but until now, we didn't know what actually attaches the cargo to the motor and gives it a 'ZIP Code' or address to ship it to. Our work shows that the cargo-motor hitch is as simple as a short peptide," Bearer said. "We've identified the first of these molecular dispatchers – a short peptide from the Alzheimer's protein APP."
At Brown, Bearer studies molecular transport through the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which travels inside neurons between the cell body and synapse. At her MBL laboratory, she studies the general mechanisms governing transport by injecting fluorescently labeled virus into the giant axon of the squid.
Aside from being a seafood delicacy, squid have a giant axon, or nerve cell fiber, that is 1,000 times wider than the average human axon, making it much easier to see and work with. For more than 75 years, squid have helped MBL scientists demystify important nervous system functions, such as how nerve cells communicate; how proteins, organelles, and other cargoes are transported along the axon; and how nerves conduct electricity. Since all life forms have similar basic cellular functions, scientists can translate what they learn from a simple system like the squid's to the more complex system in humans.
The Bearer lab has already shown that APP is physically associated with the herpes virus during anterograde transport, or the movement from the cell body to the synapse. In this new work, Bearer wanted to test whether APP was capable of mediating this movement.
In the lab, Bearer and her team substituted fluorescent beads for virus and coated them with chemically synthesized peptides based on the sequence of human and squid APP. The squid sequence was obtained through a new squid genome project initiated at MBL by study co-author Joseph DeGiorgis. Bearer and her team injected the beads into squid axon then watched through a microscope. Would the beads move? If they did, what path did they take? And where would they wind up?
After testing seven different peptides, Bearer and her team found that only one, a short peptide from APP, which they called APP-C, made the beads move quickly down the axon to the synapse. What's particularly compelling about the finding, Bearer said, is that APP-C in squid can be found in a nearly identical form in humans, worms and fruit flies, making it likely that the peptide plays a universal role in cargo trafficking inside neurons and other cells.
The peptide tag could be used to tag protein therapy aimed at repairing synapses damaged by disease or by poisons such as lead. Scientists could use the tag as a research tool to help them better understand nerve cell transport. It might also be also be used in diagnostic studies to determine whether and how much transport has been affected by dementia or to trace normal or abnormal neuronal circuits.
Bearer said the research results point to APP transport as a possible drug target for Alzheimer's, Huntington's and other diseases characterized by a breakdown in nerve cell transport.
"We've created a protein delivery system that we can use for all kinds of basic bench research as well as to test biomedical therapies," Bearer said. "The possibilities are exciting."
The research team includes Prasanna Satpute-Krishnan, a former Brown graduate student in the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry, Joseph DeGiorgis, a former Brown graduate student and current post-doctoral researcher at MBL, Michael Conley, a former Brown research assistant, and Marcus Jang, a Brown Medical School student.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences funded the work. Dart Neurosciences LLP also provided financial support through a Dart Neuroscience Scholars Program award to Bearer from the MBL.

text: If we had won that game- Pearson breaking/avoiding that tackle- it would have been a tough game against the Bengals- but I think we win. ANd that could have made all the difference in the world to the team and its confidence in Danny. And yes we probably would have maybe won another one as well down the line. Danny would then be up with Roger and would have had a real good shot at the HOF. He was the third best QB in our history= which is PRETTY GOOD.

A man accused of breaking into a home in Rome didn't make it out alive and state police say a man living in that home opened fire on the intruder and killed him.
State Police Spokesman Steve McCausland sais Monday that 44-year-old Christopher Dennison of Livermore Falls had brass knuckles and was wearing a ski mask when he forced his way into a home on Foss Hill Lane around 8:00 Saturday night.
State Police say 48-year-old Richard Duffy, who lived there, shot Dennison multiple times after the two men fought in the living room.
No charges have been filed but state police are still investigating.
"Obviously a lot of work will remain," McCausland said Monday. "The ballistic tests will be done, the medical examiner's information will be compiled and detectives will also certainly do their report. Then this will be forwarded to the Attorney General's Office for a decision of whether charges are appropriate."
State Police do not believe the two men knew each other.
Duffy and his teenage son were home at the time of the break-in.
Neither of them was hurt.
