The Discussion
Great video, this all looks really nice...
I have to ask though why do some pages use site specific master pages while other pages use server specific master pages?
I would have preferred ALL the master pages as site specific. This seems like a pain which could have been avaided.
Good vid, but I followed the directions to edit the master.default page and it broke my SharePoint instance. Then I find some pre-release documentation (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/ms476046.aspx) that states you shouldn't do that "Do not edit the default.master file directly in the
<%System Drive%>Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\GLOBAL\folder.". So now my installation is hosed, and I'm wondering why yours didn't break.

Holeman Announces Stefani Workman As Assistant Coach
April 22, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. --- University of Georgia soccer head coach Steve Holeman on Tuesday announced the hiring of Stefani Workman as the team's new assistant coach. Workman comes to Georgia after four seasons as the head coach at NCAA Division II Concord University in Athens, W. Va., as well as stints at West Virginia and Cincinnati as an assistant.
She will work primarily with the Bulldog goalkeepers, joining Holeman's staff alongside associate head coach Dan Blank and volunteer coach Henry Zapata.
"We have been very thorough in our search for a new assistant coach, and the time we spent has certainly paid off," Holeman said. "Stefani comes in highly recommended and will be a fantastic addition to our staff. On the field, her primary responsibility will be with the goalkeepers and we are very fortunate to have someone with nine years of collegiate coaching experience to join us. In addition to training high-level collegiate goalkeepers, she has worked with many of the top youth goalkeepers in the country as a Region I and II Olympic Development Program (ODP) staff coach. Stefani is very hard working, extremely committed, and a true professional. We are thrilled she has decided to become a Georgia Bulldog."
"I want to thank Steve for the opportunity to become a Georgia Bulldog," Workman said. "I am excited to join such a high-caliber staff and program. Being a part of the SEC and being able to recruiting the best players in the country to UGA is extremely humbling."
In four seasons at Concord, Workman posted an overall record of 34-31-4, with a 20-20-3 mark in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) through 2012 and the Mountain East Conference (MEC) in 2013. She coached her players to a total of 15 all-conference selections and two all-region honors. The 2012 season was Workman's best at Concord, as she led the Mountain Lions to a 10-win season for the first time since 2009 with a berth in the WVIAC semifinals.
A native of Poca, W. Va., Workman spent the 2008 and 2009 seasons as the goalkeepers coach at West Virginia and helped the Mountaineers record 26 shutouts while extending their string of consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances to 10. While at West Virginia, she earned a master's degree in athletic coaching education and taught classes.
Workman spent 2005-07 as the assistant coach at Cincinnati, working extensively with the keepers as well as the defense as the team transitioned from CUSA to the Big East. Her other duties included on-field training, video coordination, recruiting, team travel, strength and conditioning, academic assistance, and coordinating of community service efforts.
Workman has also spent time coaching in the Olympic Development Program (ODP) program, and has experience with several other local clubs and camps. She has a USSF "B" license and an NSCAA Advanced National Goalkeeping Diploma.
In her playing career, Workman started all four seasons in goal at Morehead State (KY). As a senior in 2004, she recorded 80 saves, was twice named the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week, and helped the Eagles to the OVC Tournament. She earned a bachelor's degree in exercise science from Morehead State in 2005.

Open Access Week: A key to unlocking scholarship
Date: October 17, 2011
Contact: Dan Lee | Chris Kollen
During Open Access Week, taking place this year from Oct. 24-31, 2011, academic institutions around the world explore Open Access – the ideal of free, full-text, immediate, online access to peer-reviewed scholarship and research results so new ideas and information can be obtained rapidly and freely by everyone. The Open Access movement seeks to address the untenable situation that scholars, students, and society find themselves in as the spiraling cost of journal subscriptions and textbooks jeopardizes access to scholarly works and learning materials.
The Open Access movement supports removing price and permission barriers so that research results can have greater impact as they will be easier to find, reach a wider audience, and accelerate the course of research. The Open Access movement embraces new forms of scholarship and learning that a networked electronic environment allows and provides for, including peer-reviewed e-journals, e-books, virtual communities of scholars, thematic research collections, primary data, textbooks and other learning materials, and peer-reviewed encyclopedias.
The University Libraries will be hosting two free lectures, both open to the public, featuring nationally known scholars during its celebration of Open Access Week.
Lecture I: "The Future of Data: Open Access and Reproducibility"
Tuesday, October 25 2011
9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Kiva Room, UA Student Union Memorial Center
Speaker Schedule:
9:00 a.m. – Victoria Stodden, Assistant Professor, Statistics, Columbia University & member, National Science Foundation's Advisory Committee on Cyberinfrastructure (ACCI)
10:00 a.m. – Steve Koch, Assistant Professor, Physics and Astronomy, University of New Mexico
11:00 a.m. – Eric Kansa, Open Context Project Director / Researcher, School of Information, UC Berkeley & Founding Convener of the Digital Data Interest Group
Lecture II: "Fantasy or Reality: Affordable and Open Access Textbooks"
Friday, October 28, 2011

Room A313/314, Main Library
Speaker: Nicole Allen, Textbook Advocate for the Student Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) & Campaign Director for Make Textbooks Affordable

Bad Exorcists is not available for watch at CineRill yet. Please come back later.
Genre: Horror, Comedy
Alex Knapp
Sean Roney
Julian Master
Kyle Steinbach
Duration: 85 min
Quality: Unavailable []
Release: Feb 28, 2015
IMDb: 1.0
Hands down the funniest horror comedy of the 18th Edition of Dances with Films. Kyle Steinbach's "Bad Exorcist" is as goofy as it is awkwardly funny.
The characters, a trio of teens who set out to make a horror film to impress their fellow classmates accidentally wind up getting their actress possessed during the shoot. Dana (Julian Master), Charlie (Sean Roney) & Matt (Alex Knapp) make up the trio. In their attempt to prove their coolness, they end up getting involved way over their head in attempting to practice from a stolen book of exorcisms for a film project meant to compete in the local reel horror film festival. However, one dumb decision after another force all three to come to grips with the fact that they actually did turn their actress into a possessed victim of the book. The attempts at fixing the problem is were hilarity ensues to stomach aching laughter.
The comedic timing of the main actors along with the visuals and sounds designs are right on target. Dana's obliviousness is especially perplexing for he seem the most clueless of the three, yet he's the one that will ignite the laughter mostly because of his response to the proceedings as they turn scary because of them messing with forces beyond their comprehension. The style of the film has a very vintage feel to it as so does the writing and evolution of the story.
As I watched, I could not help but to think of other eighty's favorites such as "Porky's" meets "Revenge of the Nerds" and the "Exorcist" as relevant films which may have influence the creation of this film. Whether or not that may be the case, this film stands very much on its own due to its fresh approach and originality in tackling two distinct genres that are hard to nail. Bad Exorcist simultaneously elicits from chuckles, to laugh out loud reactions, to jump scares. Few films succeed with engaging the audience with non stop laughter the way "Bad Exorcist" did, during its world premiere at Dances with Films, with some very funny and engaging results.

This campaign is the immediate sequel to Invasion from the Unknown.
After the Emperor of Chaos was defeated, the free civilizations of the Great Continent hoped that his followers would abandon the
ongoing war. Meanwhile, Galas and his unlikely band of heroes head back to the northern lands to request aid for their next journey.
Later, the Chaos Empire still manages to make a stand against its enemies. While the Grand Council is preoccupied with more
pressing matters, the fragile alliance of the peoples of the Far North is threatened by a new, mysterious leader who seeks to invade
their defenseless lands.
(Intermediate level, three separate episodes with 13 scenarios each.)
- Latest campaign release (Wesnoth 1.12.x): 0.9.16 (release notes)
- Music package: 0.2.1
The latest release of this campaign is intended to work with Wesnoth 1.12.0 and later only. Future development versions are not supported, and only Wesnoth 1.11.11 and later from the previous development series are supported for a limited time. The Windows version of Wesnoth 1.11.19 will also break the campaign, so do not use that either.
- Legacy campaign release (Wesnoth 1.10.x): 0.9.9 (release notes)
There are two officially-sanctioned venues for posting your feedback on this campaign: the feedback topic in the Add-on Feedback section, or this same topic you are reading right now. The Add-on Feedback topic has a questionnaire template and an optional survey, whereas this development topic encourages free-form posting and it is generally more fitting for bug reports and minor comments or general questions and exchanges with other posters. It is up to you to decide which communication channel to use and how!
The nomenclature for scenarios and episodes of this campaign (which I use in my own posts) is ExSy (Episode x, scenario y) and Ex (Episode x). This may be used as a convenient shorthand in lieu of the complete episode and/or scenario name. Most scenarios throughout the campaign include this shorthand along with the standard scenario name during story screen sections.
Translating this campaign is by no means an easy task. A few things to keep in mind:
- The 1.10 and 1.11/1.12 versions of the campaign are identical, using conditional code to keep compatibility for both versions. You should translate only one version of the campaign and then ask the WesCamp admin(s) to copy the strings over to the other version.
- Especially later on, there are many non-visual cues indicating the mood of a scene or a line as spoken by a character. While reading the WML or playing the campaign helps, there are also many gettext comments scattered through to help with this. If you are using poedit or similar, you should be able to see the comments or annotations attached to a particular line (msgid), as well as the source file path(s) and line number(s).
- Many lines are deliberately vaguely worded in the English original. You may find relevant comments or annotations, or you may ask in this forum topic for help.
- Only complete translations will be included with the campaign. You should notify me in this topic once your translation is listed as such in http://gettext.wesnoth.org/.
This section is here for people interested in the campaign's development history. If you do not count yourself amongst that crowd, you may skip it.
- Version 1.0.0 (future milestone, no ETA for the moment) — first balanced and art-complete version
- Version 0.9.0 (2013-03-05) — first complete version
- Version 0.8.0 (2012-05-17) — first three scenarios of E3 published
- Version 0.7.0 (2012-01-17) — E2 completed, first complete version before E3 became a 1.0.0 goal instead of 2.0.0
- Version 0.6.0 (2011-12-09) — first three scenarios of E2 published
- Version 0.5.0 (2011-10-16) — E1 completed
- Version 0.1.0 (2009-02-06) — first three scenarios of E1 published
- Version 0.0.0 (2008-05-17) — development started

You never know what dynamic businesswoman will grace our cover!
Our March/April cover girl is actress Candace Cameron Bure, whose role on the hit ABC Family series "Make It or Break It" in many ways reflects her own wholesome character.
Candace talked to us about staying true to her faith in Hollywood and her recent ministry projects.
Check out a snippet from Candace's story:
Candace also knows living your purpose and incorporating it into your business goes a long way in ministry.
"Acting is something that I love to do and if that isn't reflected as ministry as well, then to me, I don't know why I'm doing it," she says.
Entrepreneurs, though, shouldn't have to feel like they have to necessarily put a statement of faith or scriptures on their business cards to show they are Christian. Instead, a genuine and authentic nature will shine through.
"Those things can be reflected in conversations you have with people," Candace says. "I believe that if you truly love the Lord, no matter what, people will know you by your fruit."
"Whether you profess that statement, the part that really matters is when you go to that meeting, when you're talking to other moms at school, when you're out on the showroom floor pitching your business, that your heart is of Christ," Candace says. "And I think that's the most important way that you can be a man or woman of faith – that people see that difference in your attitude and in the way you speak, in the way carry yourself and in the way you conduct business."
She says it's very important to know who you're addressing and you don't want to be like "a bull in china closet" when you're conducting business and you have a faithful life. It can be done in moderation.
She also isn't offended if she is asked to tone down some of the Christian rhetoric in some of her appearances and interviews because it's not just about the words on TV or in print.
"I don't find that offensive, because at the core of it, it's who I am," she says simply. "It's the words come out of my mouth [and] I hope someone will see the difference in the way I carry myself, in the way I carry myself, without even saying the name of Christ. I hope they see a difference and then maybe want to find about more about me or go to my site, because I know I can share boldly because now they've come to me."

Forget the drive-thru: A healthier, tastier chicken nugget at home
By Hilary Meyer, September 20, 2010 - 11:43am
My husband, Russ (who incidentally is a doctor), loves McDonald's chicken nuggets. He doesn't hit the drive-thru very often, but when he does, he always gets them.
Related: Healthy Food to Satisfy Your Junk-Food Cravings
I never really considered what ingredients might be in those crispy little morsels. There should be chicken. Maybe some flour, a little seasoning and the oil to fry them in. Right? Wrong.
The chicken nuggets that my sweet husband cherishes can have upwards of 25 ingredients. 25! Yikes. Even though some of the ingredients aren't that alarming (like water, canola oil and wheat starch), the mere principle that something seemingly so simple is crammed with so much stuff is off-putting, to stay the least. So next time he gets a craving, I'll be swiping his keys and making him healthier, tastier chicken tenders at home.
Healthier Recipes for Chicken Nuggets and Chicken Tenders at Home
Cheap & Easy Chicken Recipes
In the EatingWell Test Kitchen, we've developed some pretty darn good substitutes for the classic chicken nugget (see one of my favorite recipes below). They're all a little different, but the method is basically the same for all of them. We start with chicken tenders, coat them with a breading mixture and oven-fry them so they have less fat but still get that crispy crust like the Chicken McNuggets that Russ is so fond of. The recipes are quick, easy and kids love them too.
Healthy Kids Dinner Recipes
Quick Chicken Recipes
This recipe for BBQ Chicken Tenders is a better alternative to the drive-thru Chicken McNuggets. Compared to a 6-piece order of Chicken McNuggets, you'll save 127 calories, 15 grams of fat, 441 mg sodium (and they have 15 fewer ingredients too!).

No. 3 USC Resumes Non-Conference Play
THE TEAM - The No. 3-ranked USC baseball team (5-1 overall, 2-1 in Pac-10 Southern Division play), winners of 2 games last weekend against rival Arizona State in an unusually early conference start, now returns to non-conference action for the next 3 weeks. First up for the Trojans, who are 2-time defending Pacific-10 champions, is a 3-game series with No. 11 Long Beach State (1-2), beginning Friday (Feb. 7) at 7 p.m. at Blair Field in Long Beach, continuing Saturday (Feb. 8) at 1 p.m. at Dedeaux Field, and concluding Sunday (Feb. 9) at Blair Field at 1 p.m.
THE RANKINGS - In the pre-season polls, USC is ranked No. 3 by Baseball America and No. 6 by Collegiate Baseball...The Trojans were tabbed by the conference coaches to win the Southern Division title (the third time in the past 4 years that USC has been picked to win the league).
Long Beach State is ranked No. 11 by Collegiate Baseball and No. 23 by Baseball America in the pre-season polls.
LAST WEEKEND - In the earliest start to the Pac-10 Conference season ever, USC won 2 of 3 games against rival Arizona State last weekend at Dedeaux Field. In the opener, Randy Flores went 7 innings and limited the Sun Devils to 6 hits to capture the win. Eric Munson's 2-run home run highlighted a Trojan 7-run fourth inning. The win extended USC's win streak over the Sun Devils in games at Dedeaux Field to 8.
In the second game, pitcher Ryan Bradley pitched 3 scoreless innings of relief and hit a ninth-inning grand slam to break a 3-3 tie and lead the Sun Devils to a 7-3 victory over USC. It was ASU's first win at Dedeaux Field since 1994.
In the finale, Scott Henderson went 6 innings (retiring 9 in a row) to get his second win of the young season and Robb Gorr was 3-for-4 with a home run and 2 RBI to lead USC to a 9-6 victory. Marc Mirizzi also homered for the Trojans.
COACH'S CORNER - In his 10th season as the Trojan head coach, Mike Gillespie has a 397-231-2 (.632) career record and has led USC to 3 conference titles (1991-95-96), 8 trips to the NCAA Regionals in 10 years (reaching the Regional finals 6 times), and a trip to the 1995 College World Series (where the Trojans finished as the nation's runner-up). He has been named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year 3 times (1991-95-96) and was also honored as the 1996 West Region Coach of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association. He was also selected as one of the assistant coaches for the 1997 USA Baseball Team. Gillespie was the leftfielder for the 1961 USC team that won the national championship (his 1960 team finished as the College World Series runner-up).
TOUGH SCHEDULE - USC once again boasts one of the nation's toughest schedules: Troy plays 39 of 58 games against teams ranked in the pre-season polls, including 20 games against teams ranked in the Top 10. In addition, the Trojans will play 33 of their 58 games on the road.
SCOUTING THE 49ERS - Under head coach Dave Snow (328-171 in his ninth year), Long Beach State's features a strong pitching staff, led by a pair of junior righthanders: All-American Rocky Biddle (1-0, 5.40 ERA) and Marcus Jones (0-1, 6.43). Other standout players include outfielder Chuck Lopez (.364, 0 HR, 2 RBI) and shortstop Lateef Vaughn (.333). The 49ers opened the 1997 season last weekend at Fresno State, losing 2 of 3 games (2-7, 6-3, 6-7).
THE SERIES - USC holds a 54-20 lead in the series with Long Beach State that began in 1960. USC won all 3 games with the 49ers last year (9-5 and 10-6 at Dedeaux Field, 12-2 at Blair Field). The Trojans have 4 straight over Long Beach State and 7 of the last 8.
CONNECTIONS - Trojan first baseman Greg Walbridge prepped at Long Beach's Millikan High and then played one season (1994) at Long Beach City College. Long Beach State athletic director Bill Shumard served as a USC assistant athletic director from 1988 to 1990.
STREAKIN' - Second baseman Wes Rachels has a 5-game hitting streak, going 6-for-16 (.375) with a home run and 5 RBI. Troy's leadoff hitter, he has also walked 6 times.
FABULOUS FLORES - Probably the most underrated pitcher in college baseball today, senior lefthander Randy Flores returns to anchor a strong Trojan pitching staff. Flores, a College Baseball pre-season All-American third teamer, has had a stellar career at USC (35-5 in 4 seasons) and is on the verge of becoming USC's all-time winningest pitcher (his 35 wins are 5 shy of leader Bruce Gardner's 40). The 1995 Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year and an All-Pac-10 first team pick in both 1994 and 1996, he could be the first pitcher ever to earn 4-time all-conference honors. Flores, who was 9-1 with a 3.50 ERA in 1996, went 6 innings in USC's opener against Cal State Los Angeles to get the win (he allowed one run on 3 hits and 1 walk while striking out 5) and then led USC to a 12-3 victory over Arizona State in the conference opener (he allowed 3 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks while striking out one in 7 innings). On the year, he is 2-0 with a 2.77 ERA and opponents have a .191 batting average against him.
STELLAR SETH - Junior Seth Etherton, the 1996 Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year and 1996 All-American second teamer, has established himself as one of the nation's finest righthanded pitchers and is a candidate for 1997 All-American honors. Etherton was USC's winningest pitcher last year at 12-3 and he had a 3.94 ERA. He was 10-0 with a 2.93 ERA in Pac-10 games, notching a victory in every conference start (the last pitcher to do so was Arizona's Scott Erickson in 1989). On the year, he is 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA. He went 5 innings against Cal State Los Angeles in his first start (he did not allow a run, scattered 2 hits and 2 walks, and struck out 8) and did not get a decision against Arizona State (6 innings, 8 hits, 3 runs, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts).
WALLY'S WORLD - Senior Greg Walbridge, a 1996 All-Pac-10 first teamer and USC's Most Hustle and Spirit Award winner, returns for his third season as Troy's starting first baseman. Walbridge, who came into the season with a .342 career batting average, is currently hitting .348 with 6 RBI. In the Arizona State series, he was 6-for-15 (.400) with 3 doubles and 3 RBI.
KRAFTY KRAWCZYK - Junior righthander Jack Krawczyk, the Pac-10's top relief pitcher in 1996 with a league-leading 12 saves (No. 4 on USC's single-season list), has appeared in 4 games in 1997 and has one save with a 2.45 ERA. Krawczyk, who earned All-Pac-10 honorable mention honors last year, has 16 career saves which rank No. 3 (tied with Jason Garner) on Troy's all-time list.
MAKING HIS MARK - There may not be a more exciting defensive player in college baseball than senior shortstop Marc Mirizzi. Mirizzi, who made several dazzling defensive plays against Arizona State (he is currently errorless in 39 total chances). Additionally, he's hitting a USC-second-best .458 with a home run and 7 RBI.
THIS 'N THAT - Junior second baseman Wes Rachels led off USC's first game in 1997 with a home run to left field. It was the second career home run for Rachels and his first at Dedeaux Field (his only other Trojan home run came in the 1995 College World Series). As Troy's leadoff hitter, Rachels reached base safely in his first 7 plate appearances of 1997 (spanning 2 games), getting 2 hits and 5 walks...Senior shortstop Marc Mirizzi was 4-for-5 with a double and 4 RBI in USC's season opener.
INJURY REPORT - Senior catcher Jason Brown will be out 3-4 weeks following surgery on his left knee to repair a torn meniscus.
SIX-PAC POWERHOUSE - No Pac-10 Southern Division team has been more successful in the 1990s than USC. The Trojans have won 133 games in that span (Stanford is second with 129) with an unmatched 3 conference titles.
POWERHOUSE, PT. 2 - USC's 24 wins in conference action last year are the most league wins by any Trojan team in history. That 24-6 mark by USC is also the best conference record by any team since Stanford went 24-6 in 1990.
POWERHOUSE, PT. 3 - Troy last won consecutive conference crowns in 1977-78 (the only other team to win back-to-back league crowns since the Six-Pac was formed in 1979 was Arizona State in 1981-82). The last time USC won more than 2 conference titles in a row was when the Trojans won 6 straight from 1970-75.
THE NUMBERS GAME - USC returns 17 lettermen, including 4 starting position players and 3 starting pitchers, off the 1996 team that finished 44-16-1 overall and 24-6 in the Pacific-10 Southern Division for a second consecutive title. Among Troy's returners are 1996 All-American second teamer and 1996 Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year Seth Etherton, 1996 All-Pac-10 pitcher Randy Flores, 1996 All-Pac-10 first baseman Greg Walbridge, and a quartet of 1996 All-Pac-10 honorable mention picks: third baseman Morgan Ensberg, shortstop Marc Mirizzi, pitcher Scott Henderson, and relief pitcher Jack Krawczyk, who led the league in saves in 1996. The Trojans have 6 newcomers to the team. Troy lost 10 lettermen from last year, including 5 impact players: 1996 All-American outfielder Jacque Jones (a 1996 Olympian), 1996 All-American second team outfielder Jeff Inglin, 1996 All-Pac-10 catcher Chad Moeller, 1996 All-Pac-10 honorable mention infielder Ryan Stromsborg and 1996 All-Pac-10 honorable mention designated hitter Paul Cruz.
FALL BASEBALL - This past fall (Oct. 4-6, 1996), USC participated in the ECL College Baseball Invitational, an exhibition tournament in Spokane (Wash.) that benefitted the Spokane Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Center. The Trojans won the 4-team tournament with victories over Washington (6-1), host Gonzaga (9-6) and Oregon State (11-5). The 3 games do not count in USC's 1997 record since it was a fall exhibition tournament.
A LOOK BACK - USC, ranked as high as No. 9 in last year's pre-season polls but picked by the coaches to finish fifth in the conference standings, began the 1996 season winning 5 of its first 8 games. Despite a starting lineup that featured just 4 returning starters, the Trojans captured the Gator Slugfest tournament (defeating Florida, Oklahoma State and The Citadel) and finished second at the Anaheim Hilton tournament (topping Florida State and Oklahoma before losing to host Cal State Fullerton). With the start of league play, the surprising Trojans took 2 of 3 from Arizona and swept Stanford and Arizona State. USC then struggled briefly (losing 4 of its next 7 games, including 2 to crosstown rival UCLA) but rebounded to put together an 11-game conference winning streak. The Trojans clinched their second consecutive Southern Division title on April 27 at Arizona State. USC then hosted the Pacific-10 Championships and defeated Washington in 2 of 3 games to capture its second consecutive conference title. Ranked as the No. 1 seed at the Central II Regional in Lubbock (Tex.), the Trojans fell shy of a return trip to the College World Series, losing to Oklahoma State in the regional finals. USC ended the year with a 44-16-1 record and No. 7 final ranking in Baseball America (No. 9 in Collegiate Baseball).
TROJAN TRADITION - No other university can match the collegiate baseball tradition of USC. Troy has captured an unprecedented 11 NCAA championships (no other school has more than 5), 36 conference titles and 18 College World Series appearances (tied for third-most in the nation). Trojan players have been named first team All-American 36 times, and more than 70 former players have gone on to play in the major leagues, including such stars as Tom Seaver, Fred Lynn, Ron Fairly, Randy Johnson, Mark McGwire and Bret Boone.

COLUMBUS -- Kyle Ritchie. Wes Stauffer. Stu Schley. JT Perez. Chandler Smith. Layne Scheufler. Chad Harrison.
It seems like I've been writing the names of those Orrville baseball players in my scorebooks for a decade.
In actuality, the seven seniors all played either three or four years of varsity baseball for the Red Riders, but during that time they had a run that can only be compared to one other group at the school.
The 2104 Red Riders joined the 1976 AA runner-up Orrville team as the school's second state ballclub ever.
Although the steam was taken out of the Riders' sails by the no-hit performance of Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy ace Cameron Varga in a 3-0 Div. III state semifinal win at Huntington Park Thursday, it won't erase the memories of what this senior-led team did.
Orrville is a school that's known for an incredible history in many sports, but baseball has not done much decorating of banners in the gym.
However, with the seniors putting an emphasis on baseball since they enrolled at the high school, they reached four straight district tournaments, the regionals each of their last three years and finally got over the hump to get to Columbus in 2014.
Being no-hit once they got there was a tough blow to take, but Schley said he wouldn't trade the state run for anything.
The baseball team got to experience a send-off from the Orrville fire and police departments and had community support that's usually reserved for state basketball or football success.
"This whole run was a great experience," said Schley, a fourth-year starting third baseman and pitcher who will leave for West Point June 30 and has signed to play Div. I baseball for Army. "These guys are my brothers and I'm going to cherish these memories for life.
"We wanted to impact as many people as we could. When you look in the stands and see half the community there to support the baseball team, that's kind of unheard of. That was great to see all the support we got and I love those guys."
CHCA kept who it would pitch in the semifinal contest quiet until just before game time. Even the parent of a CHCA JV player told me as we walked to the stadium his son didn't know if Varga would pitch.
The Riders knew there was a good chance they'd see him and did what they could to prepare.
"Yesterday in batting practice (assistant) coach (Mark) Besancon threw batting practice at us from real close," said Stauffer, who managed to ground out twice and only strike out once. "We were only about 10 feet away from him, working on reaction time and just doing all we could do.
"We don't really have 90-plus mph throwers to pitch to us every day so we did what we could. It's just really tough to pick up if it's going to be a fastball or curve against him."
Varga (10-0, 0.00 ERA, 141 strikeouts in 58 IP) could make a case for having one of the most dominant seasons in OHSAA history: No one scored an earned run against him in 10 outings. Half those wins were no-hitters and he only gave up 12 hits all season.
No one in the state could match up with Varga and one day he'll get his chance to show what he can do at the professional level. He was drafted Thursday night with the 60th pick by the Tampa Bay Rays.
There's certainly no shame in losing to a talent like that.
As time goes on, the sting of the loss will go away and the Riders will focus on all they accomplished. Getting to state baseball has been a rare feat at not just Orrville, but in Wayne County, which was last represented by Dalton in 2005.
Stauffer already was able to smile -- a little bit -- right after the game when the Riders were greeted by family and friends.
"It was a tremendous feeling having the whole town behind us," Stauffer said. "We wanted to win, but it was great to get the chance to play here."

It has become infinitely clear that America's media are deeply concerned former President Bill Clinton's recent antics on the campaign trail threaten Hillary's chances of winning the White House.
Not only was this subject addressed at length on the Sunday political talk shows, but also Newsweek's senior editor Jonathan Alter wrote an article Saturday amazingly titled "Leading Democrats To Bill Clinton: Pipe Down."
While you check that link to verify my veracity - believe me, I won't be offended! - Alter began (emphasis added throughout):
Prominent Democrats are upset with the aggressive role that Bill Clinton is playing in the 2008 campaign, a role they believe is inappropriate for a former president and the titular head of the Democratic Party. In recent weeks, Sen. Edward Kennedy and Rep. Rahm Emanuel, both currently neutral in the Democratic contest, have told their old friend heatedly on the phone that he needs to change his tone and stop attacking Sen. Barack Obama, according to two sources familiar with the conversations who asked for anonymity because of their sensitive nature. Clinton, Kennedy and Emanuel all declined to comment.
Shocking, wouldn't you agree? But there was more:
[T]here's concern that in hatcheting the Illinois senator and losing his temper with the news media (last week he thrashed a San Francisco TV reporter for asking about a lawsuit filed by Clinton-backing teachers union members to limit the number of Nevada caucuses), Clinton is drawing down his political capital and harming his role as a global statesman. "This is excruciating," says a member of the Clintons' circle, who asked for anonymity. "But the stakes couldn't be higher. It's worth it to tarnish himself a bit now to win the presidency."
When the former president called Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat gave Clinton an earful, telling him that he bore some blame for the injection of race into the contest. In any event, both Hillary and Obama made peace on the race issue at the Las Vegas debate. The Clinton camp now fears that Kennedy is leaning toward Obama, according to the Clinton source, though Kennedy's office says he is making no endorsement "at this time."
When you see such a consistent theme across so many media outlets, especially such harsh criticism of likely the current press's favorite president of all time, you've got to believe folks are very concerned that Bill is going to blow their chances of winning back the White House in 2008.
Of course, those on the right should not only sit back and enjoy the ride, but also hope that for a change, the media's anxieties are warranted.
As such, keep up the bad work, Bill. Our nation is counting on you.

Does anyone know a good voice changer that makes your voice lower/darker?

Does anyone know a good voice changer that makes your voice lower/darker?
i would just try to do it naturaly, but it depends on what you want it for
Yeah go for the whole natural batman voice :D
Well I'm 18, and my voice aint that dark xD Even if I try it still dosn't sound that acurate -.-
i have a vortex 2, made by hyperdyne labs for my Vader.. they do something similar for other characters....
Here's a link to the page Naglium was talking about: Hyperdyne Labs - Electronics - Vortex Voice Effects Amp
I thought the page said you could turn the breathing off if you wanted to...
If your going to be boba just be quit and that solves it but like i said before it really depends on what your trying to do,i was venom a year or to back and with a little voice manipulation and a spirit halloween voice changer......
oh, and here's why.
StarWars.com | Plo Koon
yeah i would try the cheap voice changer BUT it really depends on how your voice sounds
Also keep in mind that your voice is different than whoever recorded the samples, so you will sound different. You most likely have a lighter voice than him so your output voice would be lighter as well.
the vader breathing comes from an external MP3... the vader vortex is just an example of what they can do - they have other "characters" that they do besides vader.
there are settings and adjustments on the actual voice changer. its a great product, and def worth the money.
They have different chips for different characters that you can switch out. I have a Fett and a stormtrooper.
Thank you very much all!
i've sent a mail about making a custom one.
maybe they can do one very close to koon ^^
Target sells a cheap ($10) voice changer labeled as "eerie voice changer" for halloween. It has the scream character on the package. Hyperdyne said they were sold out of theirs when I contacted them. The target one is supposed to do several different pitches.
The only problem I've had with voice changers is that I still hear my own voice over the altered one. Tried some cheapo $10 one from online, as well as the one from spirit, which has like 6 switches on it and a bunch of different combinations, all of which are pretty garbled. I've tried talking quieter and all but that just makes the changed voice uneven, garbled, or too quiet. *** man. :/
Are you sure that's not you hearing your voice as it travels through your head? That's the phenomenon that makes us thing we sound different than what we do and freaks us out when we hear ourselves recorded. You might hear your natural voice when you have the voice changer, but others probably don't.
You're gonna hear your own voice inside the helmet, but the changer is what others will hear.
Nah, I had my gf record me from about 6-10 feet away using the voice changer. With and without some sort of helmet/mask. I still heard my voice pretty easily in the recording. It WAS the spirit halloween voice changer, so I didnt expect top-notch quality.
I think the best bet would be a good recorder that amplifies the voice quite a bit, so you can talk quietly and still have a decent output. Also with effects n such, and without costing a ridiculous amount of money. Dare to dream lol.
The aker 10 watt amp is pretty cheap and packs a punch when you need it.
any local halloween store, but if all the halloween stores close up buy it of spirit halloween :) Halloween Costumes - Childrens & Adult Halloween costume ideas available online on SpiritHalloween

I have a 32" Samsung that I've had for... quite a long time. Those that have done the TV upgrade before: is a 32" >> 46" a nice leap? Worth the investment?
Keep in mind: I purchased my current 32" LCD from CIRCUIT CITY for a shade over a cool grand. So while I believe I'm due for an upgrade my wife may think not.
Great reviews (4.6 out of 5.0) on the UN32EH5300 over at walmart.com and check out the product page
Is this a deal?
What does refurbished typically mean for TV? Can I trust these to last as long as new? What are possible risks?

Yes, 46" is an upgrade and will be a noticeable upgrade. However, I upgraded from a 42" to a 60". With that said, I would go for a 55" if I were you and if you have the space. The price is very reasonable, especially considering that you spent over a grand for your 32" way back when. And trust me, you wouldn't regret it. Your wife probably wouldn't either.
Bought the 50" the last time these were on Woot. It is quite big actually. The set is full of apps and built in wifi makes set up a breeze, it's a smart TV, so it is supposed to learn from you, but this did not come with the optional set top box transmitter so the TV can control the set top, so we had to turn the smart stuff off. But the picture is excellent.
sleepypuet wrote:What does refurbished typically mean for TV? Can I trust these to last as long as new? What are possible risks?
Something broke. It went back to the manufacturer or an authorized re-work facility, the problem was fixed, the set checked out, and sold for a big discount. The only risk I have seen with refurbished is that during rework, they did not catch all the problems. Not typical though.
If I were to get one of these, I would get a 55" or bigger. It looks like the sweet spot, pricing wise, is the 60" which seems to be about $375 cheaper than Amazon.
The 50" and smaller are 60Hz TVs which means that they would suck for any amount of motion (i.e. movies, sports, etc.). Ignore the "Clear Motion Rate" as it is pure marketing.
The 55" and bigger also includes the more modern DTS and surround sound modes found on Bluray, etc. Of course, you wouldn't necessarily notice unless you hooked up an external sound system to it.
Here are the real refresh rates:
Compared to new on Amazon:
65" - Woot is $300 cheaper
60" - Woot is $375 cheaper
55" - Woot is $300 cheaper
50" - Same price
46" - Woot is $120 cheaper
40" - Woot is $30 cheaper
32" - Woot is $10 cheaper
I have a 24" Samsung Smart TV in the bedroom and I rather like it. I like the network connectivity (no cable box in that room) because it's easy to connect to Netflix or HBO GO etc. All in all, I think Smart TV's are a great choice, 'cause who has a Xbox in every room anyway?
This seems like the better way to go for a 60inch, brand new and basically the same price when you add in the $400 gift card. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A7612378&dgc=CJ&cid=47997&lid=4279734&acd=10550055-4485850-a39a509da129412bab6c8b7509e740c7
With the value for the dollar that current TV's offer over what you paid for the 32 incher, you're only being prudent to jump to the largest screen you can comfortably afford. I personally kicked up from a 27" to a 52" and am extremely happy with the decision.
Strongly considering the 55" to replace a JVC 61" that is on its last legs. I'd love the 60" but things being what they are here the 25% discount over 5" will likely out. Will have to re-measure to see how well it fits into the existing space.

I've had a 720p 32" samsung TV for 9 years now. This TV has been completely flawless and never once given me an issue.
I use this TV as my monitor and TV and even with the heavy use, it's still kicking. I can't even imagine how many hours I have burned into that TV.
Samsung make some lasting products in my experiences.

We have the UN40EH5300, got it a few months back at Costco.
TV works really well, decent sound, very good picture.
My only gripe is the stupid annoying "smart TV" interface. Its slow, overly "jazzy" - and worst of all, - Netflix is hit or miss. Sometime it works, for two weeks - then it crashes. Have to reset the TV to get it back. The "smart hub" interface also randomly updates itself - but then pesters you with a "HEY LOOK AT ME I UPDATED PRESS OK TO GO BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE ENJOYING BEFORE I INTERRUPTED WHAT YOU WERE ENJOYING - DID I MENTION THAT I UPDATED?!"
Which causes much sadness to my 6 year old when it shows up on his TV time.
Amazon Prime TV works great, and is a huge plus.
There is an iPhone/Android app, but its pretty limited - it used to be much better before they updated it...
Purchased a Samsung smart TV in November...crapped out in December. They could NOT supply authorized repair facility with necessary part. They would NOT replace TV. After months of calls and emails, they replaced it in April. Never again will I buy a Samsung product.
LOL I just bought the 55" from Amazon on friday for $300 more. Curses!
Bought the 46inch last time it was up there. This TV is great, especially if you have Samsung Smart devices on the same wifi network.
Being able to send videos and pictures that are stored on your phone to the TV without a stutter is such an amazing feature.

Perhaps you can return it to Amazon and buy this one today from Woot! Your return to Amazon can be a Woot! refurb sale in a few months :-)
These are all 120 or 60 hz. I just can't justify replacing my little 42" 240 hz TV. It's awesome! I'll just sit a little closer to make it bigger.
Buyer BEWARE i bought one in NOVEMBER. It arrived broken after months of e-mails i recieved info to return it, which i did months ago BUT still no refund ?????? BEWARE !!!!!!
[MOD: I'm sorry for the delay. I'll email CS so they can look into it.]
What/How does the square trade extended warranty offer?
Is it easy to deal with?
Still $5.00 shipping, no matter the size?

You betcha!
Our buyer is having a _____ Monday but he's decided to lower the price for a couple of the models.
(PS: Dadblasted Amazon keeps lowering their prices right after we set up our sales!)
The 32" was $269.99; now $259.99 The 40" was $379.99; now $359.99
If you already purchases these models, money will come flying back to you shortly.
I want to chime in as I've had a UN50F6400 since September of last year. While the picture quality is excellent, and the features for customing that picture quality are also excellent so that I'm able to create a really beautiful picture for blu-rays, the "Smart" features on the TV can be very frustrating. They worked well for about 3 months before things started to get bogged down; apps often don't start on the first try and have a tendency to stop working (namely apps which stream content such as Amazon Video and Netflix). Just wanted to throw out a cautionary note on the Smart functions based on my experience.
For the 32", I'd get it new verses refurbished off Amazon for $20 more (as of 5/12 at 10:30am central). Plus as a Prime member, free shipping.
Am I silly for wanting to hold off and get one with 3d? Not sure if anyone out there uses it anymore....
I purchased a refurbished Samsung 55" smart TV from Woot at the beginning of April. The model they are selling now is slightly newer...and has a couple better specs. for the same $799.00 price. It was new, in a brown OEM box, good packaging and everything was there. I don't know what was "refurbed", it was like new. I have had it for a month, my TV is perfect and works like a charm. The picture is so realistic, and the depth perception so good, I think 3-D is a fad. This is the one to buy, 55" seems to be the best size per dollar. When I bought it a month ago, everything was at least $250 more on Amazon, Walmart, etc. I am very happy with this purchase....go for it, don't be afraid.
Be careful when buying Samsung. I screwed on my last TV buy from them. I got a 52" TV 13 months later it started to act up. They saved all of $10 by using an underrated capacitor in the power supply. Do a search on clicking Samsung tv to read about it. Even though they knew of the defect they feigned ignorance until a class action suit was filed. Unfortunately that didn't help those of us who tried to get this fixed before they were sued. So you can be sure Samsun will try to save pennies and then deny any claims.

3D is a fad that came and went. You will rarely use the feature, I've used it may 3 times in 2+ years I've had my 3D tv. Not to mention that after a while you start to get headaches. I would not wait for that feature.
loaba wrote:cause who has a Xbox in every room anyway?
People who don't buy refurbished TV's ;)
I have the 65". Very happy with the TV, but the stand is completely inadequate for a TV of the size. It wobbles like a bowl of Jello. Plan on wall-mounting it.
I think this is a great deal. I have been looking for this exact model 60". I bought it last time around. Be warned, make sure you have the freight guy open the box and check it for damage. Mine did not appear to be damaged from the outside. However when we opened it we found the top corner of the tv shattered. I refused delivery and woot refunded my money. Very quickly I might add, so good job woot!

Benjamin Conner, Hodgenville, has earned the National Junior Angus Association's Bronze and Silver awards, according to Jaclyn Upperman, junior activities director of the American Angus Association in Saint Joseph, Mo.
Much like the highly anticipated London Summer Olympics, the first annual Zinnia Fest is now one for the record books, I am happy to report.
The number of readers who stopped by Groundhog Hill more than tripled my estimate, and I thank them for coming. Hope they are still enjoying their flowers and are recounting to friends and family about their time visiting what very well may be The Garden Spot of the Universe.
The Kentucky Horse Council is hosting a Horsemen's Caucus for all area horsemen 7 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Hardin County Extension office. The event is free to all horsemen and related equine businesses, and will offer a meal, presentations and discussion of area horse concerns and successes.
The caucus includes horsemen from Meade, Breckenridge, Hardin, LaRue, Grayson, or Hart counties. Judge executives and state representatives from each of the areas have also been invited.
Rinse and return
Empty five gallon or smaller plastic pesticide containers will be accepted at Southern States in Hodgenville 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 7. Containers should be properly rinsed and have lids and labels removed if possible. There is no charge. For more information, call the LaRue County Extension office at 358-3401.
Beef producers meet
Despite some concerns over fusarium head blight in wheat this spring, most LaRue County farmers had excellent wheat yields. Growers now are selecting the varieties they will grow for the 2013-14 crop.
As growers select their varieties, they should consider results of the UK Small Grain Variety Performance Test. In the 2012-13 growing season, 99 wheat varieties were evaluated in six locations across Kentucky, under both no-till and conventional tillage systems.
A new disease affecting a popular bedding and container plant will likely change the look of Kentucky gardens for years to come, said Nicole Ward Gauthier, extension plant pathologist for the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
Impatiens downy mildew was first reported in the state in June 2012. It is widespread this growing season. Kentucky is not alone. The majority of states in the eastern half of the United States reported cases of the disease in 2012.
Conservation program for tornado damage
The LaRue County Plastic Pesticide Container Recycling Project will be conducted again this year. Commonly called Rinse and Return, the program provides a free, environmentally friendly way to dispose of used plastic pesticide containers.
Local farmers and other users were encouraged to rinse the containers as they were used and store them until the collection date on Wednesday, Aug. 7. Other eligible plastic products can be recycled at the county's recycling center.
All recycled containers must be properly rinsed. Triple rinsing is suggested.
Sitting alone in a folding chair on a sunny afternoon in the middle of a babbling creek, a tired gardener's mind tends to wander, and to wander, and then finally, to go blessedly blank.
Then, the mind wanders some more before an image takes shape and solidifies: I sit on the edge of my truck tailgate smiling as friends mill about the garden laughing as they discover one flower more beautiful than the last. This isn't Heaven. It's Groundhog Hill.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Zinnia Fest is upon us.
As I was mowing the garden the other day (that's right, mowing — don't judge.), the following thought occurred to me: This year's garden at Groundhog Hill is both the prettiest and the ugliest garden I've ever tended.
Beautiful zinnias planted in hedge-like rows. Check. Stately sunflowers about to bloom. Check. Johnson grass. Check.
Rows of marigold overgrown with crabgrass. Check. Squash plants dying of wilt. Check. Rows of basil that never came up. Check.
Pumpkin plants that still hold promise. Check.

I was born for more
than balance sheets and Quattro Pro.
I see trochee couplets

But there's no facile passageway
between financial values and free verse.
I get lost along the way and ponder
double deficits at end-stopped lines.
When I try to decide an appropriate foot
the effectiveness of monetary policy
intrudes. Whatever my stability, I credit
the ability to disguise from the left

But pieces of this puzzle fail to fit.
Can market equilibrium be better

It's embarrassing to mention how much

Stollen Wreath Bread with Mrs. Kostyra
At a traditional German Christmas table, stollen is likely to appear as a beloved part of breakfast or as a conclusion to the holiday meal. A stollen begins as a sweet, rich yeast dough, which is then accented with dried fruits and nuts, and baked until golden brown. This version, brought to us by Martha's mother, is served every year at the Kostyra family Christmas.
- Yield: Makes 1 large wreath
- 1 cup currants
- 1/4 cup cognac
- 1 1/4 cups golden raisins
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground mace
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 cup milk
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 3 tablespoons, melted
- 1/4 cup warm water (about 110 degrees)
- 2 packages active dry yeast (5 teaspoons)
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Grated zest of 2 oranges
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 3/4 cup chopped citron
- 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
- 1 1/4 cups blanched almonds, coarsely chopped
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
In two separate bowls, soak currants in cognac and golden raisins in orange juice; set aside. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, mace, and nutmeg; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup milk and 10 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Let stand until lukewarm, about 5 minutes.
Pour 1/4 cup warm water into a small bowl; sprinkle with yeast, and let stand 2 to 3 minutes. Stir to dissolve yeast completely. Add the dissolved yeast, warm milk mixture, and eggs to the flour mixture. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, and knead until fairly smooth. Transfer dough to a large bowl.
Add currants and raisins in their liquid, orange zest, lemon zest, citron, apricots, and almonds, and then work them into the dough with your hands. Transfer dough to work surface, and knead for about 10 minutes. If the dough is sticky, knead in more flour, but be careful not to overwork.
Butter a large bowl with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Punch dough down, roll into a rectangle about 16 by 24 inches and 1/4 inch thick. Starting with a long side, roll up tightly, forming a long, thin cylinder. Carefully transfer dough to a Silpat- or parchment-lined baking sheet; join ends together, pinching with fingers if necessary to make it stick, forming a large circle.
Using sharp kitchen scissors, make cuts along outside of circle, in 2-inch intervals, cutting 2/3 of the way through the dough. Twist each segment outward, forming a wreath shape with all the segments overlapping.
Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel; set aside to rise for 30 minutes. Dough will rise only a little bit. Brush dough with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Bake until golden brown and crusty, about 45 minutes, rotating halfway through. Place baking sheet on a wire rack to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Djokovic into fourth straight U.S. Open semi
By Matt Majendie
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Serbia's Novak Djokovic defied high, swirling winds to reach the semi-finals of the U.S. Open for the fourth consecutive year with a convincing 7-6 6-1 6-2 victory over Gael Monfils on Wednesday.
There were high expectations for the a match that featured two of the most watchable players in the men's draw, and while both showcased glimpses of their crowd-pleasing shotmaking, the windy conditions wreaked havoc on their play.
Routine ball tosses were blown off course, the pair's towels were at times strewn across the side of the court and serves were slowed to 110 mph as the gusts increased in the latter stages of the match.
"These are the worst conditions so far in this tournament," Djokovic said in a courtside interview after the match. "But I was really focused when I needed to be and I'm just so happy to come through in straight sets."
France's Monfils, cheered on by countryman and New York Red Bulls striker Thierry Henry, jumped ahead 4-2 in the opening set after breaking the number three seed's serve.
But Djokovic, who had never lost to his French opponent in four previous meetings, broke back two games later and showed beautiful variation to dominate the subsequent tiebreak 7-2.
As the wind was increasingly whipped up inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, both players struggled to hold serve.
Djokovic, cheered on by a very vocal group of Serbian fans, did well to concede just one break while Monfils failed to hold a single service game in the second set, which was far tighter than the 6-1 score suggested.
After that, Djokovic marked himself as a serious contender for Sunday's title when he wrapped up the final set in dominant fashion in 37 minutes to set up a last-four encounter with the winner of the Roger Federer and Robin Soderling match later on Wednesday.

Testicular Cancer in Twins : A Meta-Analysis
Neale, Rachel, Carriere, Philippe, & Baade, Peter D. (2008) Testicular Cancer in Twins : A Meta-Analysis. British Journal of Cancer, 98(1), pp. 171-173.
In a meta-analysis of testicular cancer in twins, twins had a 30% increased risk (estimate 1.31, 95% CI 1.1-1.6), providing indirect support for the hypothesis that in utero hormone variations influence risk of testicular cancer. The summary-estimate for dizygotic twins was 1.3 (1.0-1.7) and for monozygotic or same sex twins 1.4 (1.2-1.8).

text: Same as mine, sent back to Taurus, back again and had 3 FTE out of 100 rounds. Exactly as you described, dangerous to safe a loaded gun with fingers inside. When weather clears am taking out again with WWB and Rem. Have tried American, Blazer brass and steel and Monarch. You need to send that weapon back, my opinon, and if mine fails again in next 100 rounds it's going back again. I own 4 other Taurus weapons, this is disappointing.

As we begin to consider the Bible and its message let us first answer some commonly asked questions.
What does "Holy Bible" mean ?
The word "Bible" comes from the Greek word "biblos" meaning "book". "Holy" is a word meaning "set apart" or "separate", with the idea of being set apart or dedicated by or for God. Therefore the name "Holy Bible" was given to this book because it was seen to be God's inspired Word, thus making it separate from all other books ever written.
When was the Bible written?
The Bible is in fact a collection of books or writings that were written over a period of approximately 1600 years by many different writers. The first books were written by Moses about BC 1500, while the last was written by John the Apostle around AD 100.
Why is the Bible divided into the Old and New Testaments?
If we look at the index in the front of the Bible we see that it contains 66 books. The translators divided these books into the Old and New Testaments many years after they were written. The Old Testament contains 39 books that were written in Hebrew before the birth of Christ, while the New Testament contains 27 books that were written in Greek after Christ.
Where was the Bible written?
There were many men whom God chose to write the Bible over a long period of time. Although most wrote in Israel there were some like Daniel and Ezekiel who wrote in Babylon and others like the apostles who wrote in different provinces of the Roman Empire. The amazing fact is that although the Bible was written over such a long period of time, in many different places and by many writers, its message is consistent and unified. This in itself indicates that God is its Author.
How did God cause these men to write the Bible?
There are many references in the Bible telling how God caused His message to be recorded. The Apostle Peter expresses it this way: "No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:20-21). Thus Peter explains that God selected holy or God-fearing men to whom He made known His will. These men then wrote the message that they received from God. These combined writings have become the book we know as the Bible.
Why was the Bible written?
This question is answered this way by the Apostle Paul: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
The Bible was therefore given to teach man about God and His purpose, and to direct him into a way of life that is pleasing to God and rewarding to those who obey Him. Afterall as our Creator does not God have the right to bring on this earth the purpose for which He alone made it in the first place. It is a great blessing to us individually that He has made US all with free will, that He has invited us to be a part of His Purpose is now up to US to decide whether we want to find out about it, be involved and live FOREVER in a perfect world
"Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, "Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?" Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, "Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?" No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him… This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life… Deuteronomy Chapter 30:12-20
From this passage we see how important it is to each one of us that we seek after God and His Word the Bible to us.
Without this we have no hope of LIFE, but only a future of DEATH.
This Word of God was originally given to the Nation of Israel and later it spread via the Apostles of Christ to the World, that even we today might have this same HOPE of LIFE ETERNAL.
It is UP to YOU then to seek out God's Word, to KNOW what is the TRUTH of God's Word so that you and your family might KNOW the way of LIFE ETERNAL and the great HOPE of living in God's Kingdom on EARTH.
Do not let your HOPE rest upon others and most importantly on what others teach, search it out for yourself because we have been warned that the churches would be astray from God's word in the last days.
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn awaytheir ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:3-4
Too much is at stake for you to not act yourself to seek out the TRUTH.
Christ himself has told us to do this when he said…
"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:23-24

The charge
a) "In or around the 40th minute of the match he made a gesture which was abusive and/or indecent and/or insulting and/or improper, contrary to Rule E3(1); and b) It is further alleged that the misconduct was an 'Aggravated Breach' as defined by Rule E3(2) as it included a reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or religion or belief."
The verdict
Both charges against Nicolas Anelka were found to be proved. But regarding the second charge, the independent commission "did not find that NA was or is an anti-Semite or that he intended to express or promote anti-Semitism by his use of the 'quenelle'." The penalty was a five-game ban, an £80,000 fine, the full costs of the hearing and to undertake an education programme.
It was not necessary that his words or behaviour were intended to be abusive or insulting, only that they were so.
The quenelle
The commission considered the orgins of the quenelle, and took evidence from each side. The FA, through Professor Seán Hand, Professor of French Studies, University of Warwick, submitted that the French comedian Dieudonné, who invented the gesture, "regularly expresses views that are strongly anti-Semitic and that the use of the quenelle has become interwoven with those views and therefore with anti-Semitism". Professor Hand concluded that by the date of the match "the gesture cannot be reasonably untangled or dissociated from anti-Semite sentiment" and could not have been seen as "a harmless prank".
Professor Philippe Marlière, Professor of French and European Politics at University College London, for Anelka, said he did not accept the proposition that as of 28 December most people in France would associate the quenelle gesture with anti-Semitism.
Why was he guilty?
Anelka made the gesture deliberately, and knew the game would be broadcast in France. The commission accepted the view that as of 28 December the majority of people in France would clearly have associated the quenelle with Dieudonné. Given the nature of the controversy over his anti-Semitic views, they were satisfied "that the quenelle is and was at that time strongly associated with anti-Semitism".
They also said it was a factor that Prof Marlière said he would not perform the quenelle and would not regard it as acceptable for his students to do so, because he considered it offensive. The fact that other players had performed it did not "deprive it of the abusive, insulting and anti-Semitic meaning we found it has".
Prof Marlière had said in a BBC radio broadcast that the gesture "certainly has anti-Semitic overtones".
It was therefore "insulting and abusive and improper" for Anelka to make the gesture, which meant he breached Rule E3(1). That breach was aggravated because it contained reference to the "protected characteristics" defined as ethnic origin and/or race and/or religion or belief. So both charges were proved.
Was Anelka anti-Semitic?
The summary says it was not necessary to consider that question. But on the evidence, the members of the commission were not satisfied (to the requisite standard) that he was an anti-Semite or that he intended to express or promote anti-Semitism.
The FA wanted a ban of longer than five matches because a)Anelka had denied the charge; b) he is a high-profile player; c) the FA is heavily involved in promoting inclusivity and combating any form of racism; d) he may have damaged the reputation of English football round the world.
Anelka's counsel said it was a much less serious case than that of Luis Suarez when he was banned for 10 matches for racially abusing Patrice Evra, and Anelka had a good disciplinary record.
The commission agreed there were mitigating factors, which meant the punishment was sufficient.Reuse content

KALAMAZOO, Mich. _ The Kent State women's basketball team earned its second consecutive Mid-American Conference East Division championship in dramatic fashion, wiping out a late five-point deficit to defeat Western Michigan 73-66 Tuesday night at University Arena.
The Golden Flashes (18-6, 12-2 Mid-American Conference) trailed 64-59 with 5:20 to play, but scored the next 14 points to salt away their eighth consecutive victory.
"We're used to coming back in somebody else's gym," said Kent coach Bob Lindsay. "We know how to do that. We just found a way to win."
The Broncos (16-8, 9-5) led 35-29 at halftime and maintained a 64-59 cushion with 5:20 to play. But Kent junior point guard Dawn Zerman hit a 3-pointer, and sophomore center Julie Studer tossed in a layup to tie it before two free throws by freshman forward Jamie Rubis gave the Flashes a lead they would not relinquish.
"Dawn is a money player," said Lindsay. "She plays her best ball when her back is against the wall."
Two free throws by Zerman and a layup by freshman Kristen Buelow gave Kent a commanding 72-64 with 1:18 left.
Studer tossed in 15 points (7-of-8 field goals) and grabbed eight rebounds in the decisive second half, and wound up with career highs in both points (24) and rebounds (11).
Sophomore guard Carrie Nance scored 10 of her 18 points in the first half to keep the Flashes close, and Zerman finished with 14 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
"We've scrapped our way into this position (MAC East Division title) with different kids playing well in different situations," said Lindsay. "Our players know how to win games."
The Flashes return to the MAC Center Saturday to battle West Division leader Toledo.

Refer to our Community Health Needs Assessment and Community Benefit Strategy and Implementation Plan for more information about this work.
