Draft Officials, Anticipating the
Man Power Bill Passage
Have Been Busy
Rights of Aliens Carefully Gone
Intq.and No Injustice Can
Result From ignorance
Yesterday the President signed the
Man t'owef'bilt ami on tlio matnlanl
the registration day for youthi from
eighteen to twenty-one ami men from
thirty two to forty Ave will be on Sep
tember 12. A yet no official Instruc
tions hav come to Governor MeCarthv,
dut, following precedent, it la not likely
that registration lay ia Hawaii will be
any earlier than the end of the month.
However, in anticipation of the pass
age of the bill and with foresight sharp
ened by hindsight, the local draft offi
cials have been smoothing out a number
i( legal points which bothered! (hem in
the last registration anil have been Ret
ting opinions and ruling that will pre
elude aome of the confusion that the
last drat brought about.
Klgnta of Allans
The rights of aliens un.ler the Beloe
tive Service Act have been gone over
in particular and It is expected that
there will be clear sailing despite the
fact that the registration to come will
include thousands of the older Orientals
in the Territory. Between the ages of
thirty-two and forty-five are very, very
many of the Japanese who rame to
Hawaii when the immigration waa at
its height, men who are less likely to
know what to do . with their registra
tion blanks and their questionnaires
than those who have already registered.
Naturally the confusion of the last reg
istration would be multiplied in the
coming one unlesa great care be taken
in advance to minimize it, .and thia
care has already, been, taken.
Beat Orowder To It
Is preparing in advance, the draft
officials have beeu doing exactly what
l'rovost' Marshal Crowder wants, as
stated in a cablegram from him to
Governor McCarthy yesterday, the mes
sage saying:
Governor, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Number B287S, paragraph one.
On account approaching classifica
tion of new registrants under new
law amending selective service law
by increasing ages, imperative that
members of legal advisory boards,
both iermanent and associate,
should be prepared to take up the
work of aiding and advising regis
trants and assistiug in the adminis
tration of the law and regulations,
immediately calling,, .registration
undo? the. new law.
' lease; take up this matter Imme
v diately .with the central legal ad--visory
committee of your state or
through such other means as may
be necessary, and arrange for pre
liminary meetings and other neces
sary steps to be taken to assure
efficient and ample personnel be or
ganised and ready to repeat the
inugniHceiit work which they did
during the first questionnaire and
classification. Please acknowledge
receipt of this, stating what steps
you have taken to carry same into
Ignorance Cannot Harm
The main Hint gone over by the
heads of the draft with District Attor
ney Huher deal with the rights of aliens
under the draft regulations. One im
sjrtant difference in the regulations as
first drafted ami us they now stand
treats with the claim for exemption
based on the fMrt that the registrant
is an alien.
In the original regulations, to secure
this exemption the registrant had to
claim it.
Am the regulations are today, no alien
lllav lie Iciallv inducted into the mill.
t i iy service who has not specifically '
waived his right or exemption.
Ignorance prevented many in tho
first registration from claiming exemp
t ion, ami in many cases these aliens
were drafted uud are now in the ser
vice. Hereafter, to be drafted into the ser
vice Is something that cannot hapMn to
mi alien through his ignorance of his
rittht. If he be drafted it will Un
because he has gone to enough trouble I
to expressly waive his exemption right, j
This is a decidedly important point i
ami should be given the widest publici
ty ih xue Japanese ami i.uiuese press,
ss it probably will bo.
Power To Punish
Another point which has been thresh
ed out ami finally submitted to the pro
vost marshal at Washington for au au
thoritative ruling deals with the dis
ciplining of registrants who may fail ,
to mane out and return their iiics
tionuaire. In the case of citizens, the fact of
the failure to return the questionnaire
promptly oldiges the classification board
to place the registrant in Class 1 A, i
from which class he will be promptly
drafted and placed in uniform if able
to past t;luB,fjicdical tests.
In the matter of aleius, however, in- ,
nsiuuch as the questionnaire contains
the exemption waiving clause, the draft j
board is apparently left i without auy
power to punish u refusal to fill in and
return the paper. The only punish
ment within the power of the board is
to classify a laggard registrant in the
first class to be called, while the fact ;
that the alien registrant has not re 1
turned his questionnaire waiviirg his
exemption prevents any such a clasai
licatioti. The question submitted to Washing
ton asks what alternate punishment
they t-au be. Nobody iu Honolulu knows
as yet.

The boy who think too much or

Singing to Huns
"Well, old scout, I have traveled
much since I wrote to you last. We
were then at what is called a 'quiet
sector', but we changed its name. Fun
ny thing about this war as soon as the
Americans get into a quiet sector it be
comes, a Hell of a place. Ever hear
the song: 'Get Your Head Down Alle
man'f Well, we sing that to 'cm with
75s and etber stuff.
"A German order captured not long
ago referred to these troops as 'shock
troops'. Believe met the Hun will run
across a lot of khaki clad 'shock troops'
before be gets through with the fun.
Lately every day is alike. This divi
sion came out of one big scrap; had
three daya to waih spin; climbed into
trueks; traveled two days, landed one
evening and before twenty-four hours
bad passed; hiked several miles and
chased the Hunt several mora, captur
ing a thousand prisoners, two hundred
guns and enough other stuff to fill tbe
transport Thomas.
Counting Hob Grunt
" Another - American division was
right on their flack and had just the
same kind of a job at we did. It was
a scrap alright nothing on the little
corporals guard maneuver style we used
to effect. Why, I saw one traffic jam
two miles long. Five hundred guns
were in aotion on our side. We knew
the Hun had four hundred, because we
Counted them, when be left them be
hind. "If I can get bold of the 'Stare and
(Stripes' I will send you a copy. It will
tell yon about our last scrap better
than I can. I saw some nasty sights
and had a little fun once, a Hun avia
tor chased me and my driver under an
ammunition wagon; then dropped a
bomb down knocking put one of the
hones. 4ut be didn't get me.
Ont-goeaalng Prita ,
"That eight a Hub dropped a flare
over our eaarpv.A aiea feeling goes up
your spine, when you wake up some
night and find a Hun flare floating
over your nice little bed. They light i
up things so you could tee a gnat s eye
lash at fifty paces. You know then
that the Hun is way up there some
where, with a good, supply of bombs
picking out a spot he will drop one on.
There is a fine game of guess on be
tween you and the Hun then. He is
trying to guess where you will be, when
the bomb lands and you are trying to
guess where you will not be when it
lands. To make it more entertaiaing,
he usually gets high up and then shuts
off his motor to make your part of the
guessing more difficult. If he leaves
his motor on, you can usually tell pretty
near where he is. Then sometimes,
you make his part of the guessing pret
ty interesting by pointing the business
end of a machine gun or a 75 hit way.
Beating Own Game
"One day my men got tired of be
ing chased into the brush by Hun air
man so they went, out into a wheat
field close bv and brought in a collection
of guns. There were plenty of them j
out mere laying arounu, siso
must everything else in the war line,
even to dead warriors American and
German. The boys manned an anti-aircraft
battery. Thore was nothing ,du

airplane came after a French Balloon
close by. Hay! the way my boys gpeti
ed up was some dangerous. They are
all ",ood operators and telephone men
but arc not much on this machine gun
stuff. Hay! that Hun .took to the
woods. I did too. It was no place for
a sober man. The air, earth aud fences

ousness of Industrial Sit- ;
uation In Islands
Demand For Food For World
Such That All Prejudices
Should Be Buried At Once
"We are asked to sse sugar by the
pound, and yet, liecause of a prejudice
ngsinst the yellow rsce we are forced
to' waste it by the thousand tons."
This is how' Albert Horner, repre
sentative in Hawaii of the Federal
War Trade Board, sunimsrired the la
bor shortage situation in the Tcrl
lory in an interviow granted The Ad-
Mr. Horner declares without quale-
ication that there is only one way la
which Hawaii can perform its double
luty or providing its share of flghtiug
nen and of holding to a high mark its
.reduction of vitally-needed foodstafTs
sugar, pineapplea and rice and that
s by the imortation, for tbe period
if the war, of Oriental labor.
"To me tbe present Hawaiian lalssr
ituatinn is litle short of criminal,"
said Mr. Horner, "and I believe it
houid be taken up with the National
'ood Commission, the Immigration
Bureau and, if necessary, the Kzocu
ive, to assure that some relief be af

roducing power may be expanded to

ower problem is remedied.
Hher Una Weakened

his contribution of man power for the
Ighting line Vut the drain hat weak
ened another line, equally important,
he food production line, and, at Mr.
Moover tays 'Food Will Win the War',
mil, conversely, lack of food will lose

"Action to recruit the ranks of our
food producers must be taken at ono
or there Will follow a reduction, a tre
nendous reduction, ia our food prod
ucts. Unless relief comes soon there
vill be a loss of at least 50,0U0 tons
f sugar in 1919.
Breaking Down Prejudices
"New the remedy is simple, yet diflJ

"Senator McCumber, speaking ia tbe
enate on June 28, said: 'An over

be thrown to the winds'. This ent
ireties my views exactly.
"If permitted, the Oriental laborers
would come into the United States as
food producers for the period of the

ar vires might be required and then,
like our boys in France, return home.
Only some such expedient wilt guur
intee that Hawaii can perform lit
itally important function of helping

ivilians and soldiers. The importance
f this is reeognired by everyone con

Acupuncture uses tiny needles to redirect the body's energy, which is a better use for needles than sewing yourself into a sleeping bag forever. Feel better with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $49 for two-hour initial medical acupuncture treatment with consultation (a $120 value)
- $49 for two-hour initial cosmetic acupuncture treatment with consultation (a $120 value)
Treatments take place at Blue Root Acupuncture's new location on Devine Street. During cosmetic acupuncture, sterile hair-fine disposable needles are inserted into the face and the body in order to stimulate collagen production and blood flow to the face. This procedure is effective for erasing fine lines and reducing larger wrinkles, improving facial muscle tone and elasticity, and reducing the signs of stress and aging evident in the face.
Blue Root Acupuncture
Blue Root Acupuncture's licensed acupuncturist Angela Soto calls upon her extensive knowledge of medical and herbology practices when enhancing customer well-being during each of her facility's health services. Treatments range from traditional acupuncture visits⎯which can be used to stimulate circulation, influence the release of neurotransmitters, and pop the bubble wrap that was distracting the immune system from operating properly⎯to treatments that include Energy Light Rejuvenation and fire cupping.

|7 nights
Our cottage offers a living room-kitchen with fireplace, a large window overlooking the lake, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and a 40 foot dock. There is a full kitchen with stove, microwave and regular sized refrigerator. Each bedroom has a double bed. Attached to the cottage is a laundry room with a washer and dryer. There is a large sunny deck and a 3 season porch. It's a peaceful setting to watch the wild life, read a book or just relax.
Over the past years our family has looked forward to the time that we can enjoy being together to swim, relax, enjoy, eat and sleep in the refreshing air at our cottage on the lake. We invite you to enjoy all the activities offered at the lake. Our friends have found some of their most enjoyable moments were viewing the lower lake and the beautiful sunsets from the large window in the living room, the enclosed porch or on the lawn outside.
Our cottage is located on Route 374 approximately 1/2 hour from Malone or Plattsburgh. It's an easy drive to Chateaugay for groceries, churches, medical services and stores. Malone has a 36 hole public Country Club which is listed as one of the top Golf Courses in NY State. Within an hour's drive you can visit Plattsburgh to shop or catch a movie or have a meal in one of the many restaurants. There are many other interesting Adirondack sites like Ausable Chasm, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain. Also of interest are the Casino at Akwesasne and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Montreal is about a two hour drive.
The shallow sandy beach is wonderful for young children but the lake grows deep enough so that a power boat can be tied up at the end of the dock. The lake is known for great fishing and boat rentals are available from the local marina. It's easy to launch canoes or kayaks on property and there is a boat launch just a couple miles away.
We had a wonderful stay at Dupree's cottage. It was cozy and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the way the living space opened onto the enclosed porch and the open view of the lake. With no internet and lots of books, magazines, puzzles, and family appropriate videos it was a great escape from modern life.
This quaint cottage was more that we expected - well equipped, clean, nice sandy area for the kids to swim, & gorgeous sunsets. We had a wonderful week and hope to be back soon.
Great cottage, very friendly owners. If you are looking for a relaxing stay by the lake, this is the place.
First time stay and will definitely be back.
Our family absolutely loved this cozy cottage!!!A perfect Vacation for all. Everything we needed and could ask for. Would definately rent again! Lovely! The owner was kind a warm.
I spent a week at this delightful cottage with friends (ages 2-60). We spent our days enjoying the serenity (peace and quiet at last!) and beauty on the lakeside Adirondak chairs and swimming in the lake. Once the kids arrived the noise level went up a bit but they were enchanted by the cottage ("like a storybook house") and thoroughly enjoyed swimming, boating, floating on the lake. The numerous ducks, loons, geese and gulls kept us entertained. And the sunsets, oh the sunsets are just breathtaking! The cottage is comfortable, homey, clean and had all the basics we needed. It was just as pictured and described. The owners couldn't be nicer. I highly recommend this rental and plan on going back next year.

Market Reactions to USDA Reports: State Analysis of Corn Price Response
This article reviews the current literature on USDA farm-level data reports and looks at the impact of information contained in the USDA Crop Production report on U.S., Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, North Carolina, and Wisconsin corn prices. A hypothesis is tested concerning the significance of the reaction to the corn basis from the report. The hypothesis is tested using maximum-likelihood parameter estimates of the effect of stocks data, previous year's production number, and separate dummy variables for the August, September, October, and November release of the USDA Crop Production report on the absolute percent change of the corn basis from the month before the report is released to the month in which the report is released. Evidence is found that supports the hypothesis that USDA reports significantly affect the corn market at the national level and in Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska. August and October are found to be the most significant month for market reactions to the report for the states affected. No evidence is found of a price reaction in the North Carolina and Wisconsin corn markets. The study period is 1949-2011.

The FIFA World Cup 2014 will be held in Brazil. It takes place from 12 June to 13 July 2014. It will be the second time that Brazil has hosted the competition, the previous being in 1950. The national teams of 32 countries will join the second biggest sports event in the world (after the Olympic Games). A total of 64 matches are to be played in twelve cities across Brazil, with the tournament beginning with a group stage. For the first time at a World Cup Finals, the matches will use goal-line technology. Twelve locations will be World Cup host cities: Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Cuiabá, Curitiba, Fortaleza, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and São Paulo. They cover all the main regions of Brazil and create more evenly distributed hosting than the 1950 finals in Brazil provided, when matches were concentrated in the south-east and south. As a result the tournament will require significant long-distance travel for teams. Brazil opens the tournament against Croatia, played in Sao Paulo on the 12th of June, and the final will be played on the 13th of July in Rio de Janeiro.

Sending postcards, letters and parcels is a rather straightforward process and services are reliable, though not overly fast when sending post internationally, mostly taking about a week to the USA and Europe, and there is a track-and-trace service for this as well. Domestically, there are both next day as well as more expensive same day delivery options. Stamps are available at post offices, as well as some kiosks or other places where they sell postcards.
For sending packages internationally, you can also used competitively priced private companies like TNT, UPS or DHL. They are generally much quicker and not much more expensive.

Destiny Wade is an example of what hard work and dedication can accomplish.
Wade, a 6-2 post player for the Lady Cats, has overcome obstacles in her career with an easy smile.
Now she is reaping the rewards of her time spent drilling in the gym. Wade inked a national letter of intent to continue her basketball career at Angelo State University in San Angelo.
Wade chose the Division II Lone Star Conference school from a short list of other schools in Texas and one in Kansas.
When asked about her choice of colleges, she had a quick answer.
"It was like Angelo State found me," Wade said. She explained that family friends near San Angelo asked her about attending the school. One thing led to another, now Wade will be suiting up for the college.
"The coach at Angelo State (Cayla Petree) reminds me of coach Chapman (Jeff Chapman) Sulphur Springs head girls basketball coach. "It's tough, but there's hugs too. It was tough playing for Chapman because he was a post player. But I took all his time getting onto me as a compliment. He wanted me to get better."
Wade visited Angelo State, not once, but twice to make sure the school was best for her.
"It's a family feeling I get with the players and coaches," Wade said.
Wade said she knows that while she might be all-district in high school Class 4A basketball, college ball is a different level.
Wade averaging 12.8 points and 8.9 rebounds for the Lady Cats during their regional semifinal run this season. The team ended the year 25-6.
"I need to work on my outside shots and ball-handling in college," Wade said.
Chapman is happy and sad to see Wade head off to college. He's proud of her accomplishments, but does not have a replacement for Wade.
"A post player is the anchor you build the team around. We don't have anybody ready to replace her. She's been a four-year player," Chapman said.
"She's grown as a person and her skills on the court," Chapman said. "She is also a team leader. I watch her with the younger players not only in basketball, but volleyball too. She wants to help them. It's her work ethic."
Chapman said he hopes that Wade is just the first of many players who leave the Lady Cats basketball program and get to play in college.
Her parents, Cordell and Jacqueline Jackson are also proud of their daughter and the hard work she has put in.
"Playing basketball in college has been her dream for a long time," Cordell Jackson said. "I helped her as much as I can. She started out in Little Dribblers and then started playing AAU ball in the sixth grade. I coached her until high school and then coach Chapman took over."
"I'm excited for Destiny, I wish her the moon and beyond," said Jacqueline Jackson. "She's worked hard and I have taught her, if she keeps doing that the sky is the limit. As long as she keeps a good attitude, she will go far."
Wade added, "This last year in basketball was my favorite. It was one of my best. It's been a fun ride. "

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Wednesday, April 21, 2010
The Hudson Valley Community College baseball team (24-11, 19-5) defeated Fulton-Montgomery Community College in both games of a doubleheader, 8-3 and 13-3, on Tuesday, April 20. The Vikings remain in first place in the Region III, East Division.
The Vikings went down early in the third inning of the first game on a fielding error, 3-0, but responded quickly in the bottom half of the inning with a three-run homerun by Luke Burns (Delaware Academy, Bovina) that put the Vikes up 4-3. The Viking pitching and defense shut down the Raiders for the remainder of the game and pulled off the 8-3 win. Chris Massaroni (Voorheesville, Voorheesville) had three RBIs and Tyler Young (Shaker, Latham) went two-for-three with two RBIs.
Game two was all Hudson Valley as they defeated Fulton-Montgomery 13-3. Bobby McLoughlin (Bishop Gibbons, Schenectady) went two-for-three with four RBIs. Mike McCrone (Whitney Point, Binghamton) went two-for-three and Young was two-for-three with two RBIs.

Western Bulldogs forward Jarrad Grant will return from a foot fracture in his first game of the season for Footscray against Sandringham in the VFL at Simonds Stadium on Saturday.
The 24-year-old re-signed with the Bulldogs at the end of last season after a stellar second half of the year that resulted in strong interest from the Brisbane Lions, only to suffer his injury during the pre-season. His return is much anticipated given his importance to the Dogs' forward line.
After missing the bulk of last season through injury and form worries, Grant played the last eight matches in the AFL and showed bursts of excitement with 13 goals.
He is expected to play around 70 per cent of game time against the undefeated Zebras.
"It's great to have Jarrad back," Bulldogs VFL coach Chris Maple said.
"It's not about how many minutes he plays, it's more about how he plays."
"He's a special talent, Granty, with his speed and his agility and just his goal sense as well."
Another Bulldogs tall – Jordan Roughead – is likely to make his return via the VFL within the next month after returning to training this week. He is recovering from surgery after injuring his shoulder against Richmond in round three.
Maple said he has been pleased with first-year youngster Mitch Honeychurch, who is on the verge of his AFL debut.
"He's been knocking on the door, the little fella. Again, for a first-year player, we've been rapt with how he's settled in to the place and his work ethic and just his competitiveness around the contest," Maple said.
Maple said the Bulldogs' VFL team is largely about developing its young players rather than its win-loss record, which is currently 2-3.
He said the team had four criteria to fulfil: develop AFL-listed players; develop VFL-listed players; develop staff so they can fill roles at AFL level; and develop competitiveness.
In contrast, St Kilda's aligned partner Sandringham is in peak form, sitting third on the ladder, and is the surprise of the season.
"I thought we'd be competitive this year," Zebras coach Simon McPhee said. "We just wanted to improve and I think the most pleasing thing is the fighting spirit."
Maple said Footscray had recruited experienced ex-AFL players such as Brent Prismall, Lukas Markovic and Nick Lower to have the "bigger bodies that can guide the young VFL-listed players" and to help build "the link between the two groups as well".
The Bulldogs will play home games at Simonds Stadium in Geelong and in Craigieburn this season with its home matches at Whitten Oval capped at six for the season.
In Saturday's other VFL match, the Northern Blues are looking to bounce back from a mini form slump when they host the Casey Scorpions at Visy Park.
Blues recruit Jack Anthony said the Blues need to regroup following losses to Werribee and Coburg.
The Scorpions will be looking for big performances from Melbourne recruits Vic Michie, Jimmy Toumpas and Aidan Riley.
Meanwhile, Box Hill suffered a two-point loss to West Perth to be bundled out of this year's Foxtel Cup.
The Hawks charged back from a 19-point deficit at half-time to get within striking distance.
Hawthorn's Alex Woodward, who has recovered from a shoulder injury, was the best for Box Hill with 29 disposals.
VFL Round 6 (with tips in capitals)
Footscray v SANDRINGHAM, Simonds Stadium, 1.10pm
NORTHERN BLUES v Casey Scorpions, Visy Park, 2pm
Frankston v WILLIAMSTOWN, Frankston Oval, 2pm

the born-again
This is a script I am almost complete with. I completed an independent study under the supervision of Jennifer Bean for scriptwriting. This will be a feature length movie, to be shot in the summer, late spring if possible. I figure i will submit another application for post production separately, as i will better know my schedule after some shooting is done. i plan on acting and directing this feature. As a side project, I will also create a documentary on a making of this movie, which serves as a plan B. I figure if the movie fails miserably, than at least the doc will be humerous.

All-Stars ready to rumble in Norwich
Recent Eastern League All-Star tilts suggest a great game is on tap
By Evan Mohl / MLB.com | July 10, 2007 10:01 AM ET
But ... this year, fans will have something to quench their sports thirst. No, it's not Gatorade. It's even better. On Wednesday, July 11, the Double-A Eastern League All-Star Game will take place in Norwich, Conn., showcasing some of baseball's best young talent.
This year marks the fifth time the Northern Division will take on the Southern Division in the Eastern League ASG. In 2003, Minor League Baseball decided to move away from one All-Star Game for all three Double-A Leagues (Eastern, Southern and Texas). Now, each league stages its own Midsummer Classic.
Since the league-by-league approach has re-emerged, the Eastern League All-Star Game in particular has proven to be an exciting event. Besides showcasing future Major Leaguers such as Jonathan Paplebon and Hanley Ramirez, the games always seem to be intense. The series between the Northern and Southern squads is knotted at two apiece, and each of the past four contests has been decided by three runs or less.
This year should be no different.
The festivities begin at 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday with an All-Star Game Luncheon at the Mystic Aquarium, where players will be able to have some fun photo ops with the animals. Events then shift to Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium, where a large fan fest will be held outside the balllpark. Gates open at 2:45 p.m., when batting practice begins. After the players are finished taking their hacks, an on-field autograph session will commence at 5 p.m.
Then things start to heat up, with the Home Run Derby scheduled to start at 6 p.m.
Participants were announced late Sunday and eight sluggers, four from each division, will swing for the fences. Representing the Northern club will be Sergio Santos (New Hampshire, 15 HRs), Caleb Stewart (Binghamton, 13), hometown favorite John Bowker (Connecticut, 13) and Brett Harper (Binghamton, 13). Hitting for the Southern squad are Michael Costanzo (Reading, 17), Oscar Salazar (Bowie, 14), Neil Walker (Altoona, 12) and Greg Jacobs (Reading, 14). Costanzo enters the contest as the early favorite with his league-leading 17 long balls.
The Derby will lead straight into the game itself, with first pitch slated for 7:35 p.m.
Each team's roster has 24 spots consisting of 10 pitchers, seven infielders, five outfielders and two catchers. All 12 teams in the league will be represented by at least three players, with Akron sending the most at six, followed by the hometown Defenders with five.
Both teams are loaded with talent. Eight of the players heading to Norwich are ranked among their organization's top six prospects.
Headlining the Northern Division team is New Hampshire catcher Robinzon Diaz, who also played in the XM Satellite Futures Game on July 8 in San Francisco. Diaz started for the World Team and ranks seventh in the EL with a .326 batting average. He will be joined behind the plate by Connecticut's Steve Holm, who sports a .474 slugging percentage with 23 RBIs and almost as many walks (21) as strikeouts (22).
Holm and Diaz will be handling a stellar pitching staff. Trenton's 1-2 punch of Alan Horne and Jeffrey Marquez are a big reason why the Thunder rank first in pitching in the EL. Horne is 9-3 and is second in the league in ERA (2.26) and strikeouts (113), while Marquez is 9-5 with a 3.18 ERA. Joining the duo will be Connecticut's Brian Anderson, who leads the league with 19 saves, and teammates Geno Espineli and Osiris Matos. New Britain's Timothy Lahey and Jose Mijares, Binghamton's Kevin Mulvey, New Hampshire's Tracy Thorpe and Portland's Charlie Zink, who ranks fifth in the league with a 2.77 ERA, round out the staff.
Binghamton cornered half the Northern squad infield, with first baseman Brett Harper, and his impressive .425 on-base percentage, and third baseman Mark Kiger. Joining them on the dirt will be second baseman Eugenio Velez (.346) from Connecticut and Luke Hughes of New Britain. On the left side, Portland's Jed Lowrie and his 39 extra-base hits will split time at short with New Hampshire's Sergio Santos and his 15 home runs. New Hampshire third baseman Rob Cosby was also selected to the team.
The Northern outfield showcases a variety of teams, with John Bowker of Connecticut, Matt Carson of Trenton, Jeff Corsaletti of Portland, Aaron Mathews of New Hampshire and Caleb Stewart of Binghamton. Bowker is second in the league with 99 hits and Mathews ranks second with a .342 batting average.
The Southern Division All-Stars are unlikely to be fazed by that array of talent, as they have some potent weapons of their own. Reading's Jason Hill and Altoona's Brian Peterson will anchor the team behind the plate. Hill is batting .303 with 32 extra-base hits, and Peterson has 43 hits on the season.
With a league-leading 10 wins, Erie starter Dallas Trahern headlines the Southern mound staff. He is joined by Altoona closer Matt Peterson, who ranks second in the EL in saves with 18. Adding to the excitement will be right-hander Radhames Liz of Bowie, who has fanned 101 batters, welcomed the month of June by no-hitting Harrisburg and nearly duplicated the feat 12 days later. The Southern Division staff also features Brett Campbell and Dan Kolb of Harrisburg, Matthew Maloney and Chris Key of Reading, Randy Newsom and Reid Santos of Akron, and Dave Davidson of Altoona.
The Southern infield delivers an awful lot of pop along with its defense. Akron shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera will bring his .328 batting average (sixth in the EL), 98 hits (third), 21 stolen bases (tied for third) and 69 runs scored (first) to Norwich. He will be joined by Reading third baseman Michael Costanzo and his league-leading 17 home runs. Costanzo's teammate, Jesus Merchan, should start at second base with his blistering .353 batting average, tops in the EL. Also around the infield will be Akron's Jordan Brown, Harrisburg's Josh Whitesell, Altoona's Steven Pearce and Neil Walker and Bowie's Oscar Salazar.
One incongruity for the Southern squad is that its outfield is not quite as potent offensively as its infield, but it still has plenty to offer. Reading's Greg Jacobs ranks third in the league in batting with a .330 average and is tied for second with 57 RBIs. Brian Barton of Akron brings a .419 on-base percentage, while Val Majewski of Bowie and Jackson Melian of Erie complete the lineup.
The Aeros staff, which guided Akron to the Southern Division Championship last year and the second-best record in the league in the first half this season, will manage the Southern team. The host Connecticut Defenders' coaches will handle the reins for the Northern squad.

Garnet and Gold Scrimmage Set for Saturday

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – Before the 13th-ranked Florida State indoor volleyball team heads to Lincoln, Neb. For its season opener against No. 7 Nebraska, the Seminoles will divide into two squads for the annual Garnet versus Gold scrimmage at 1 p.m. on Saturday in Tully Gym.
"This is the first chance for the fans to get a look at our team," head coach Chris Poole said. "We have nine new players, so it's a great opportunity for us to go through our regular pre-match routine. It's a dress rehearsal and a great opportunity for us to see how the ladies will perform under the lights."
In addition to the 17 active players, former standout Jordana Price will return to the floor and play for the Garnet squad. As a middle blocker, Price was a three-year member of the FSU volleyball team (2007-2009) and was a part of the school's first ever Elite Eight appearance. She now is heading into her third season as an assistant coach at Valdosta State.
Following the scrimmage, players will be autographing posters in the Tully Gym lobby.
The Seminoles will official begin the season by playing No. 7 Nebraska (Aug. 29) and Iowa State (Aug. 31) in the AVCA Showcase. FSU is the first ACC team to earn the invitation to the highly-touted tournament.

Mumbai: Even though the Bollywood actor Aamir has become famous due to his part in the much awarded movie Qayamat Se Qayamat a few whikle back, his debut on the big screen took place a lot earlier in the movie production called Yaadon Ki Baaraat, which was released in 1973.
Over the years he has managed to win several awards. For instants, his Raja Hindustandi brought him the famous Filmfare Best Actor Award. After he lost the award for the best actor in 1995, Aamir decided not to attend any other award event in the future. However the following year he did win.
A few years back managed to surprise the entire country after he got the divorce from his childhood sweet heart Reena and was seen dating Kiran Rao. Aamir proved himself to be a really successful producer after he has ventured in several winning projects such as Peepli Live, Taare Zameen Par, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, and Dhobi Ghat. There is no doubt about it, Aamir is a perfectionist.

And the 21-year-old Glasgow Warriors star is convinced the Scots' performances in recent weeks have put to bed last season's wooden spoon disappointment and can only breed confidence among the players.
And despite losing their last two games of the championship, Weir - who made only his second Test start in the 23-16 defeat in Paris after starting the first three 6 Nations games on the bench - admitted the side had taken huge strides forward to compete with the very best sides.
"We feel we had a wee bit more to play for this year, especially with how close this Championship was," said Weir.
"If we'd won against Wales, we'd have gone to Paris possibly in contention for the title. It's disappointing that didn't turn out, but we've taken a great step forward."

Siemens to cut thousands of jobs
Page Tools
German electronics giant Siemens plans to cut 4,224 jobs, including 2,860 in Germany, in its loss-making Com division, which covers the group's activities in fixed-line and mobile communications, a German magazine reported.
Manager Magazine, to be published next week, said the job losses will occur over 18 months with the majority occurring in its business communication systems, where 2,838 jobs will be lost.
A further 797 jobs will be cut from the fixed and mobile telephone networks and 294 in the manufacture of wireless telephones for fixed lines.
The computer services of the Com division, comprising 295 jobs, will be relocated in India.
The group has not commented on possible job reductions but the IG Metal union said it had expected 3,000 jobs to go at the Com division after the legislative elections are over.
Last week the magazine der Spiegel said 10,000 posts could be lost at Siemens.
An announcement on restructuring measures is expected next week, probably on Monday when there will be a meeting between management and staff at its Com division.

The east is home not just to the world's best football club, but also to rugby league's most powerful men. Roy Masters reports.
Almost anyone in a position of strength in rugby league supports the Roosters, lives in the eastern suburbs, or both. The mission of Penrith, their opponents in tomorrow night's grand final, is to be the No.1 rugby league club in the world. But the Roosters are already the most powerful.
On and off the field, the Roosters are the most potent national football club, even eclipsing Australian Football League premiers Brisbane, who do not enjoy the commercial, media and political influence of their grand-final opponents, the Eddie McGuire-led Collingwood.
Significantly, following the victory of the Bondi Junction-based club over the Bulldogs in the preliminary final, the Roosters president, millionaire businessman Nick Politis, expressed the ambition to duplicate the Lions' three successive premierships.
The grand final might be billed as a "head says the Roosters and heart says the Panthers" game but there is plenty of power and passion in key places favouring the premiers.
The "Clovelly Hotel Mafia" - a group of influential men who meet at the watering hole, including NRL chief executive David Gallop, leading player manager Wayne Beavis, ARL chief executive Geoff Carr and NSW State of Origin coach Phil Gould - is said to exercise power.
Gould, the Roosters' coaching director, certainly exerts a powerful media influence through his columns in Fairfax newspapers, publishers of the Herald, and Channel Nine.
Beavis's principal client is Roosters captain Brad Fittler and Carr watches Sunday football games with both, although the likeable official is widely regarded as the code's "Mr Fixit" of strained relationships, the only man whose popularity is so widespread he can bring warring parties together.
Gallop rejects the notion he is part of a Clovelly Mafia and avoids having a beer there in case it fuels the perception. Last month he found himself having to defend his recent membership of the Clovelly Surf Club, saying he goes there because "it's got a gym".
Still, NSW and City selectors, rival club officials and past players quip they are more likely to find out what is happening in rugby league at Clovelly than the Fox Studios headquarters of the code.
Alternatively, they call into the Lord Dudley hotel in Paddington, where another player manager with key clients, John Fordham, is usually in tune with recent manoeuvres. Fordham counts among his clients Roosters coach Ricky Stuart and player Ryan Cross.
The power of the east is a perception Gallop resents. He nominates his opposition to attempts by Politis to increase the salary cap. Gould campaigned for an increase in the $3.25 million cap and Beavis led the opposition to an apparent concession by players' association boss Tony Butterfield to let NRL salary-cap cop Ian Schubert (another former Rooster and a vigilant auditor) peruse players' tax records. (The NRL subsequently withdrew its demand to check tax records.)
The truth is these manoeuvres are mere pawn play to the real power base of the game - the NRL Partnership Committee, which consists of three representatives from News Ltd, three nominees of the ARL and is chaired by Colin Love, who is also ARL boss.
Politis is one of the three ARL directors and a friend of Love, an eastern suburbs resident. This board makes the key decisions - whether to increase the number of teams to include Gosford or the Gold Coast; the awarding of radio and TV rights; approving key sponsorships.
Politis, whose investment and control at Bondi Junction is such that the Roosters resemble a privately owned club, is campaigning for the Gold Coast, a move some cynics suggest is designed to curb the power of the Broncos. Sydney businessman John Singleton, who has a small shareholding in the Broncos, wants a Central Coast team. Not surprisingly, Singo, an eastern suburbs resident, says he hates the Roosters. But his radio station, 2GB, does hold the league radio rights.
Channel Nine, owned by long-time "Easts" supporters Kerry and James Packer and run by a director of the Roosters, David Gyngell, holds the free-to-air rights and half-owns Fox Sports, which controls the pay-TV rights.
A close friend of Politis is Mark Bouris, part-owner of Wizard Home Loans, which sponsors the NSW State of Origin team. Bouris is a key supporter of Gould and has been influential in Fittler's career.
Fans complain that sport is now merely a business, but the reverse may be true at the Roosters. Certainly, the two have merged. Politis-Bouris-James Packer-Gyngell are too straight-talking to lace their speech with sports metaphors, like many other sneaker-wearing businessmen. You never hear them talk about "blue-chip recruits" or "level playing fields".
Still, the phone-number salaries, designer clothes, luxury cars, a win-at-all-costs competition and dizzying celebrity makes it sometimes difficult to separate the footballer from the businessman.
It can be argued the eastern suburbs have always been influential in rugby league decision-making, particularly when John Quayle, a former Roosters player and resident of Centennial Park, was chief executive of the NSWRL. But NSWRL and ARL chairman Ken Arthurson, a Manly supporter, and Peter Moore, chief executive of the Bulldogs, wielded enormous influence during Quayle's reign. Quayle is now happiest when he can escape to his olive farm in the Hunter Valley, which he co-owns with Politis.
In Quayle's day, influence in the game tended to be exercised via referees and the judiciary. The NRL has worked hard to establish transparency and referees boss Robert Finch, whose son Brett plays for the Roosters, is scrupulously fair.
Judiciary chairman Jim Hall, who played three seasons with the Roosters, said of the so-called Clovelly Mafia: "I avoid meetings with those blokes."
He said his tribunal members, including Royce Ayliffe who captained the Roosters, could actually be harder on their former clubs.
"Clubs you've played for are worse off because we tend to be stricter," Hall said.
Still, even peripheral positions in the code are held by former tricolours players. Roosters board member Ron Coote is president of the Men of League, a past players' association. Roosters deputy chairman of 10 years Bill Healey has recently been appointed to one of the NSW Government's most senior and prestigious posts, Director General of Sport, Tourism and Recreation. However, Healey is considering his future with the club lest his new position be compromised by his role at the Roosters.
Not all the powerbrokers are eastern suburbs residents, or Rooster supporters. NRL board chairman Malcolm Noad lives on the North Shore.
But the influence of Penrith is so minimal that only one official has ever held a position on a board of a governing body. Panthers general manager Roger Cowan was on the NSWRL executive during the reign of Kevin Humphreys but resigned in frustration. "We met every Monday for a full year to try and work out ways of stopping the spiralling cost of rugby league," Cowan said. "The final system we came up with was to recognise local products.
"Parramatta had ex-juniors in first grade in every club, yet we had only seven players anywhere in Australia who had come from Penrith's junior ranks. Our juniors had not broken through. So a system to reward local juniors was going to be a handicap for us. They still brought it in."
Thirty years later, Penrith have the richest vein of local juniors in the code and the Roosters the poorest. No wonder the Roosters are attempting to exert pressure on the salary cap.
But their success has meant kids in the eastern suburbs now go to primary school in Roosters jumpers. In the long run, that may be their most powerful ally of all.

It has been estimated that up to 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near‐crashes involve inattention as a contributing factor, and that distraction is a factor in about a quarter of these. Distraction and inattention are therefore significant road safety problems, around the world.
The contribution of distraction as a factor in road trauma is likely to increase as more distractions, inside and outside the vehicle, compete for driver attention. Simultaneously as the role of distraction and inattention in traffic safety is becoming clearer, there is an intensified development of countermeasures, and an intensified focus on the fundamental science of attention in modern neuroscience research.
This conference aims to bring together stakeholders from these different fields.
The conference will run over two days:
