Box Score
SANTA CLARITA, Calif -- Basketball can be a game of mind-numbing extremes, taking teams on exhilarating runs and dropping them just as quickly into the depths of inexplicable scoring droughts. The ability to make the most of the former while surviving the latter makes winners of teams.
Such was the case of The Master's College Thursday evening as they experienced both but survived to beat Hope International 60-56 and earn a berth in the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) National Tournament next week in Winona Lake, Indiana.
Sparked by a 10-3 run over the final three minutes, the Mustangs improved to 19-14 with their second win in as many nights.
Down 53-50 to an outmanned but efficient Royal squad, the Mustangs tied the game on a Jon Hogan three-pointer and then went ahead on a similar shot from Leif Karlberg with 2:11 remaining, giving them the lead for good. But, this game was far from over.
The Royals edged to within two points with a free throw on their next possession but a Karlberg driving layup with 59 seconds left extended the Mustang advantage to a game-high four points, 58-54. Again, the Royals countered at the line, converting two more to halve the deficit.
But, the Royals, nowhere close to putting the Mustangs on the line and needing to do so to get the ball back, committed four fouls in the space of eight seconds to, finally, send Anthony Cammon to the stripe. That's where the senior All-GSAC performer quietly drained a pair of game-clinching free throws for the game's final points.
It was a dynamic conclusion to a game in which the Mustangs appeared to be dead after a lackluster first half, one in which they shot just 32% from the field while watching the visitors surge to multiple double-digit leads and a 38-26 advantage at the half.
In stark contrast to the previous evening, the Mustangs had a difficult time finding the range in a frustrating first half. After Devin Dyer opened the evening with a jumper, the Royals outscored the Mustangs 20-5 over the next nine minutes to open up a 20-7 lead with 10:55 left in the first half. Much of that was due to 3-14 shooting in that stretch.
A Chris Patureau three-pointer, the squad's second of the evening, put an end to the run and fueled a modest, 6-2 spurt that pulled the club within nine points (22-13) on a Casey Trujeque free throw at the 8:44 mark.
However, the Royals answered with a Steve Jurich layup on their next possession, extending the lead back into double figures where it stayed for the next 4½ minutes. In fact, a Jordan Gipson charity toss with 5:16 remaining in the half lengthened the advantage to a game-high 14 points (27-13).
That didn't last very long, though, as the Mustangs put together an 8-2 burst in just over a minute that pulled them within 29-21. A Cammon jumper got the squad going and then Karlberg poured in consecutive three-balls, closing the Mustangs to within eight points at the 4:05 mark.
But, the Royals, who shot 45% from the field in the opening half, proved to be resilient as they closed the half with a 9-5 spurt for a 38-26 lead. The Mustangs shot just 32% from the field, including a weak 4-14 mark from behind the arc.
That lack of accuracy changed, though, in a matter of six minutes in the second half as the Mustangs rolled a 16-2 run out of the locker room. Again, Cammon triggered the burst with a jumper and a three-pointer but he got plenty of help from Karlberg, whose layup with 14:39 remaining tied the game at 40, and Paul Brown, whose layup a minute later put the Mustangs ahead.
That set up a back-and-forth struggle over the next 10 minutes that featured five lead changes before Karlberg's trey put the club ahead to stay. Following a poor-shooting first half, the Mustangs improved to 47% in the second period while limiting Royals to 23% accuracy.
Karlberg, who buried five three-pointers and shot 8-13 overall, led all scorers with 21 points while Cammon was the only other Mustang in double figures, finishing with 13 points.
Now, the Mustangs prepare for the national tournament that starts on March 14 at Grace College. Their first-round opponent will be announced soon.

RELEASE: February 2, 2009
MVC Announces Decentralization of Northern Regional Services
The decision to proceed with decentralizing Wayne RSC services was made following the announcement that the facility's lease had been terminated. The site will permanently close to the public on March 6, 2009.
"We have expedited a portion of our strategic plan to bring the services presently offered at the Route 23 location to a number of sites in several different counties of North Jersey," said Harrington. "The MVC views this lease termination as a positive opportunity to enhance service and provide greater access for its customers who require these specific services; all without increasing costs."
The MVC, which has operated the RSC on Route 23 since 1988, was informed that its lease would not be renewed, causing the commission to seek other options for continuing Wayne's regional services such as scheduled driver conferences and walk-in assistance with surcharge and restoration issues. In Fiscal Year 2008, the Wayne RSC served approximately 132,000 customers, of which nearly 125,000 sought walk-in services. The closing of the facility will save the state approximately $820,000 each year.
Later this month, the MVC will begin a phased approach to bring Wayne's regional services to motor vehicle agencies in East Orange (Essex), Bayonne (Hudson) and Newton (Sussex). Customers will officially be able to access various regional services at these locations on March 6. Additional agencies in Newark (Essex), Paterson (Passaic) and Wayne (Passaic) will begin services on March 16.
To ensure continuity of service, the Wayne RSC will remain in operation until nearly all alternate locations begin offering the services. The MVC will also continue to operate Regional Service Centers in Eatontown (Monmouth County), Trenton (Mercer County) and West Deptford (Gloucester County).
"We want to make this decentralization a seamless transition," said Harrington. "To keep our customers well informed of this important change, we have provided information on the MVC Web site at www.njmvc.gov. Customers may also call (609) 292-7500."
Since its formation in 2003, the MVC has introduced a number of positive changes aimed at providing its customers with more efficient and effective service. To date, the MVC has decentralized number of services once offered at limited locations, including those related Commercial Driver Licenses (CDL), handicapped plates/placards, salvage titling and Temporary Visa Restrictions (TVR). From the expansion of online services and the introduction of credit card acceptance to the creation of the Model Agency concept and comprehensive employee training, the MVC has positioned itself as a truly customer-focused organization.
"We are the public face of government," added Harrington. "By taking positive steps such as the decentralization of services, we demonstrate that government can be effective in providing core services the taxpayers of New Jersey."

South Africa was chosen to host partly because it boasts the most developed system of infrastructure on the continent. It is also for this reason that it is already easily the most popular tourist destination in sub-Saharan Africa.
But, with a few other obvious exceptions - the savannahs of Kenya, the antiquities of Egypt or the beaches of Tunisia - much of Africa remains off the itineraries of tourists.
This is perhaps strange, given that there is an increasing desire to seek new destinations beyond tried-and-trusted countries.
In Asia, for example, Vietnam and Cambodia are attracting visitors because they are viewed as more adventurous than commercialised Thailand or Bali.
But Africa attracts fewer than 5% of the world's tourists, and receives an even smaller proportion of their money. So what is holding it back?
Infrastructure importance
One oft-cited reason is concern over personal safety. But in an age of global terrorism, the tourist of today is a battle-hardened creature, more willing to accept danger as of travel.
Perhaps the most telling proof of this can be found in one of Africa's most popular destinations, Egypt, which has also seen tourists directly targeted by militant Islamist groups.
In 2005, bombers killed more than 60 people in an attack on the Sinai resort of Sharm al-Sheikh - yet tourism receipts grew by 11% the year after. Indeed, the traditional tourism sector in Egypt, based around the Pharaonic attractions, is now so saturated that the country is being forced to diversify into beach and diving holidays.
South Africa, meanwhile, is grappling with a spiralling crime rate. It has one of the world's highest murder rates, and while tourists may not always be the direct targets, a perception that South Africa is a violent society pervades amongst visitors - yet they keep arriving in their millions.
But what both countries share is a developed tourist infrastructure.
Egypt, along with its archaeological treasures, has around 300,000 hotel beds. South Africa has around 100,000, and this is to be markedly increased in time for the World Cup. And both have extensive international air connections and developed tourist resorts.
The reality is that it is infrastructure - not safety - that is holding much of the continent's tourist potential back.
Look at Nigeria, which has long-held ambitions to become a tourist destination. It offers long beaches, eight national parks and a vibrant history.
But tourism is virtually non-existent. Official figures, which put tourist arrivals at close to 1 million a year, are skewed by the fact that many traders enter the country on tourist visas.
Of the rest, a high proportion are members of the Nigerian diaspora returning to visit friends or family, while others still will be there on oil business.
It is here that the familiar problem of infrastructure returns. Hotels in Nigeria are of poor quality, expensive and bureaucratic. The airline network, notwithstanding the introduction of Virgin Nigeria in 2005, is limited and unsafe: seven airlines recently had their licences revoked following a safety clampdown.
Even so, air travel is still preferable to taking your chances on the roads.
As a result, and despite such a low base, the Economist Intelligence Unit predicts the number of tourists to Nigeria will grow at less than 3% a year for the next five years, showing just how much work needs to be done.
But there is potential south of the Sahara. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) estimates that tourism in sub-Saharan Africa grew by 8% in the first four months of 2007, compared with four per cent in North Africa.
However, it is not only a matter of the number of visitors a country can attract. Tanzania, which welcomes tourists to its game parks and the beaches of Zanzibar, has been cautious about developing new hotels and resorts, as it markets itself as a more exclusive destination.
Arrivals are low - around 500,000 a year - but each of those tourists spends an average of $1,078, compared with, for example, $405 in the more traditional destination of Tunisia.
According to Tony Janes, the director of the travel firm Simply Tanzania, limiting the number of visitors to the country's game parks has another benefit - sustainability.
He says that while there could be as many as 1.5 million tourists a year visiting the country, any more than that could lead to the degradation of the very thing that attracted the tourists in the first place: the country's savannahs.
This would be self-defeating if the tourists then started staying away. In its quest for tourist dollars, Africa must not lose sight of what it is that makes it so special.

Wow, it's big. That's my first impression of the Kea campervan which we're going to drive on a whirlwind tour of the South Island. Self-drive tours are popular in New Zealand and campervans are a particularly popular option. But, I wonder, how is the Kea going to handle? Will it be difficult in the mountains?
These fears are soon put to rest. Power steering, an automatic turbo-diesel engine and a comfortable, high driving position with good visibility and huge side mirrors make me feel at ease in no time.
The "house" at the back is very well appointed - so much so that I dub the campervan the Ikea, because it has everything, although it is of course named for New Zealand's mischievous alpine parrot, the Kea. It can sleep up to six people and has a kitchen with a fridge, gas stove and a microwave oven, plus a bathroom with shower and toilet.
GALLERY: Mogen's Johansen drives New Zealand's South Island
We have chosen to drive straight to Oamaru after arriving on one of Air New Zealand's direct flights from Perth to Christchurch. This will give me chance to get to know the Kea as the drive down the east coast is nice and easy, plus Oamaru and the Waitaki Valley will put us on the doorstep of the drive across the Southern Alps.
Oamaru turns out to be the perfect start to our trip and we immediately warm to this pretty harbor town. The main street is colourful and welcoming but it is the harbor-side limestone warehouses of the Victorian precinct that attract us most. Built in the 1870s using local limestone, the warehouses are now a vibrant place filled with galleries, artists and artisans as well a mix of retail shops. We spend some time browsing, looking at books, antiques and quirky Kiwi souvenirs before heading off to explore the Steampunk HQ at the edge of the Victorian precinct.
A steam train running off the rails outside the historic building makes a dramatic statement about what lies within. The gallery and the yard behind are home to a large collection of weird steam-driven machines and devices cleverly displayed with dramatic lighting and audiovisual displays. It's an interesting interpretation of steam-powered science-fiction machinery.
For dinner we try the Riverstone Kitchen, a restaurant run by award-winning chef Bevan Smith and his wife Monique on the Waitaki Plains, just north of Oamaru. Bevan and his family grow their own vegetables on site and source the rest of the produce from local suppliers depending on what's in season, so the menu changes regularly.
I choose an entree of Marlborough figs with Windsor blue cheese, roasted hazelnuts and vincotto followed by a main of spiced lamb with roasted summer vegetables, chickpeas and coriander. My wife opts for deep-fried zucchini flowers with four cheeses followed by rib eye of Wakanui beef with sauteed potatoes, butter beans and romesco sauce.
Satisfied after a sensational meal, we decide to fit in one last attraction for the day. Oamaru lays claim to being the penguin capital of New Zealand, so we head down to the harbor to watch as the tiny blue penguins return to their colony after a day of fishing at sea.
Seated quietly in one of two outdoor viewing grandstands along with several other visitors, we listen to commentary as small groups of penguins emerge from the water and waddle up a stony ramp to their nesting burrows.
The birds don't arrive until after dark and numbers vary daily, but this evening's count is just short of 100. A colony of rare yellow-eyed penguins can be found just 5km from Oamaru, at Bushy Beach.
The following morning we drive out through the rolling hills of the Waitaki Valley, enjoying the views as we pass the Waitaki and Aviemore dams. It's increasingly scenic as we pass wineries and small towns. We stop for a break at Hot Tubs Omarama. Owners Lance and Jan Thomas established the business four years ago after travelling to Japan, where they fell in love with the local onsen, or hot springs, which have been part of Japanese culture for centuries.
The hard-working couple have created a stunning place. Set in clever landscaping so you can enjoy privacy while taking in the views of the Mackenzie Basin, the tubs are filled with fresh mountain water and temperature controlled using a wood-fired SubTub. As we soak up the beautiful setting in our tub, we try to imagine how special it would be to sit here during the winter when the landscape is covered in a thick blanket of snow.
Continuing our journey towards Queenstown, we cross the tussock grassland of Lindis Pass. The 971m pass winds its way through smooth slopes devoid of any other vegetation but as we get closer to Queenstown the landscape changes, becoming more agricultural with a mix of dairy farms, wineries and orchards. We stop to buy fresh fruit at one of the many roadside stalls before rolling into Queenstown.
Built on the shores of Lake Wakatipu with stunning views of nearby mountains such as the Remarkables, Cecil Peak and Walter Peak, Queenstown is perhaps the South Island's best-known tourism town.
Adventure tourism is what this place is about and from skiing and jet-boating to skydiving and bungee jumping, you name it and you will most likely find it here. But there are plenty of other things to do if you are not an adrenalin junkie: cruise Lake Wakatipu on the coal-fired steamer TSS Earnshaw, explore some of the hiking trails close to town or hit the shops and restaurants. We choose to try the steepest cable car lift in the southern hemisphere - much to my wife's dismay, as she is scared of heights. It carries us 450m up to the Skyline restaurant at the top of Bob's Peak to a superb 220deg. view of Queenstown, The Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu. Below us, the lights of the town are taking over as evening darkness descends onto the landscape. During our buffet dinner at the Skyline restaurant, the special setting inspires one diner to get down on one knee and propose to his sweetheart. After a few moments of consideration, she agrees, to applause from all the other diners.
The next morning, we are up early for one of the most anticipated parts of our itinerary, a flight/cruise/flight trip to Milford Sound. Low morning cloud cover over Queenstown is a concern but as we take off and climb above them it makes for a slightly eerie but beautiful flight. Clouds form what look like white rivers in the valleys below, while the snow-covered peaks of the taller mountains reach up into the morning sunshine, some of them appearing close enough to reach out and touch as our small plane flies past.
By the time our pilot begins the descent into Milford from the west, flying in among the tall mountains around the sound, the morning sun is beginning to do its job and the low clouds are starting to burn off and reveal some of the splendour that awaits us.
Bowen Falls, Sinbad Gully, Mitre Peak, Pembroke Glacier and Mt Pembroke dominate the view as we board our boat for the cruise on Milford Sound.
As we cruise out along the sound, the skipper points out other landmarks, including peaks known as the Lion and the Elephant. The mood changes constantly as the clouds battle the sun for supremacy. This is really spectacular wilderness. They get an average rainfall of nearly 7m - that's right, metres - per annum here and it rains every second day on average, making Milford Sound the wettest inhabited place in New Zealand. Stunning waterfalls cascade down the steep mountainsides. By the time we reach St Anne Point at the end of the 15km sound, the weather is brilliant. Fur seals drag themselves up on to rocks by the steep mountainsides to soak up the sunshine while others wallow in the water, waving their flippers as we pass. The skipper slows the boat near the 155m Stirling Falls and nudges the bow close enough to give anyone who is not undercover an ice-cold shower. Finally one last treat as we sail into Harrison Cove to get a closer look at the Pembroke Glacier, before heading back to our plane for the return trip to Queenstown. By now most of the cloud cover has dispersed, revealing the splendour of Fiordland and Lake Wakatipu.
We set off to our next destination, Fox Glacier, taking us on a stunning drive through the mountains. Just outside Queenstown, we begin the climb up through the hairpin turns towards the Crown Range summit. The 1076m pass is the highest sealed road in New Zealand. Europeans first used the pass in the 1860s when they drove sheep across the ranges searching for pasture. The road was finally sealed in 2000 and it is now a major tourist route, providing easier access to the ski fields at Queenstown and Wanaka. We descend through the Cardrona Valley towards Wanaka, past Lake Hawea and Lake Wanaka. Winding mountain roads reveal one breathtaking view after another as we drive through Mt Aspiring National Park towards Haast.
We stop several times along the way at places such as Fantail Falls, where I wade across the shallow, crystal-clear but ice-cold Makarora River to get a closer look at the waterfall. We drive on, following the Haast River until we catch our first glimpse of the Tasman Sea, where we head north to Fox Glacier. It's one of the most scenic and interesting drives I have done.
The twin towns of Fox Glacier and Franz Joseph Glacier have two of the most accessible glaciers in the world. The Fox Glacier's terminal face is just 5km from the township and easily accessible, either on your own or by joining a guided walk to explore the ice caves and spectacular formations created as the river of ice forces its way down through the valley. Visitors can also take a heli-hike that combines walking on the glacier with a helicopter ride.
The Fox Glacier falls 2600m on its 13km journey from the Alps to the coast; both the Fox and Franz Joseph glaciers are quite unusual because they descend to about 300m above sea level, finishing among the greenery of the temperate rainforest below.
I take a helicopter trip to the top of the Fox Glacier to get a bird's eye view of the river of ice plunging down through the valley. As our pilot flies straight up the valley, conditions are overcast at first, but as soon as we get above the low clouds we are faced with a remarkable alpine vista of the glacier with Mt Cook behind. We land briefly on the snow to take pictures and throw snowballs.
During our trip we have met plenty of friendly Kiwis but we needed to see a real kiwi - bird, that is - so as we head north towards Greymouth we stop at Franz Joseph Glacier to visit the West Coast Wildlife Centre. Here you can see the rare Rowi kiwi roaming around the nocturnal house and go for a backstage tour to see how the centre, in partnership with the Department of Conservation, runs its successful breeding and incubation program.
Kiwis are under severe threat from introduced species such as stoats and cats, and radio trackers are used to monitor the birds in the wild so that when they lay an egg it can be removed from their nest and taken to the centre, where it is placed in an incubator until it hatches. The young hatchlings are fed and raised until they are strong enough to be released on a small, predator-free island. Seventy kiwis were successfully returned to the wild last year.
Continuing our journey, we stop in at the new Westcoast Treetop Walk, near Hokitika. Similar to our State's own tree-top walk at Walpole, the 450m steel walkway is 20m above the forest floor, providing a bird's-eye view of the rimu and kamahi tree canopy. There is also a 40m tower from which you can see the Southern Alps and Tasman Sea, plus a cantilevered walkway with a viewing platform at the end.
Later, in Greymouth, we join a small group of beer lovers for a tour of the Monteith's Brewing Company's new brewery. Stewart Monteith started the brewery in 1868, much to the delight, no doubt, of the many thirsty gold miners working in the area at the time. As we make our way through the brewery our guide explains the brewing, kegging and bottling processes but unfortunately this is the last tour of the day, so the brewery is idle. Afterwards, we sample some of the product at the trendy new bar at the front of the brewery where they have cunningly matched their extensive range of beer and cider with a selection of pub fare.
The next morning we are up early to learn a bit more about the gold mining history of the area. Shantytown Heritage Park is an opportunity to step back in time and see how life was for the gold mining pioneers from the 1860s onwards. The town's two main streets have 30 historic buildings, including a church, hospital, jail, fire station and various shops. We take the steam train for a short trip to see the displays at Infants Creek Sawmill and walk back along a short forest track to see a gold-panning demonstration, stopping along the way at information boards to read some of the pioneer's amazing stories of hardship. One tells of a tree logger, Charlie Dudley, who cut his toes off with an axe. He calmly sat down, took off his boots, rolled the toes up in his sock and threw them into the bush, before proceeding to eat his dinner while a mate ran down the track for help.
To reach to our last stop at Hanmer Springs we're forced to endure another stunning drive, this time over the Lewis Pass.
Hanmer Springs is a lovely village with oak trees lining the main street. Like many towns in New Zealand, there's plenty of adventure stuff on offer but we're here to relax and get pampered at the popular thermal pools. Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa has nine outdoor pools heated to 33-42C, three sulphur pools with natural unfiltered thermal water, a 25m heated pool and six private pools. The fractured rock bed along the Hanmer Fault produces the hot springs here, which were discovered by Europeans in 1859 although not developed for another 20 years. In the early days, the pools were used not only for recreational bathing but also by the neighbouring Queen Mary Hospital for the treatment of recuperating soldiers and arthritic and disabled people.
Throughout our trip, we parked the campervan at the Top Ten Holiday Parks with 49 locations around New Zealand. We required only a powered site but the parks offer many other accommodation options including self-contained units, cabins and unpowered sites for tents. Most of the parks are rated four-star plus to five-star so you are assured of excellent, well-maintained facilities.
Driving around the South Island really is a pleasurable experience but be aware it takes a lot longer than you might expect to drive through the mountain areas. Allow plenty of time so you have time to enjoy all the sights along the way.
Haere ra, New Zealand - see you again soon.

|nwiz.exe /install - Nvidia control panel, you can disable it in MSConfig, but I wouldn't recommend it, since I think you need it running for auto fan control to work. So if you switch it off and then your GFX card gets hot under load, nvidia cp might not increase the fan speed to compensate. you also need to keep it checked in MSConfig if you use ntune to overclock, if you use a diff program then you might be ok disabling it.

|Do with it whatever you want. It's from NVidia, that's for sure. It uses almost no RAM, so it won't slow down your computer in anyway. I just don't know exactly what it is for, cause after I killed that process, I can still manage my dualmonitor setup. So it's safe to remove, but if you want to let it run, you won't experience problems either. Kees

|This has something to do with nVIDIA video card drivers, but in the latest version of nVIDIA drivers (190.38), it actually deletes the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key in the registry which controls startup programs (e.g. DAEMON TOOLS starts up on boot using this mechanism).

RailRiders Solve Columbus Riddle
Bats Come Alive in 5-1 Win
By Aaron Berlin / Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders | August 10, 2014 4:50 PM ET
Moosic, Pa. - An impressive display of power and crafty pitching helped propel the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) passed the Columbus Clippers (Cleveland Indians) Sunday afternoon in a 5-1 win. Two thunderous home runs by Antoan Richardson and Kyle Roller were combined with five plus innings of two-hit ball from starter Nik Turley to help and end the club's longest losing streak of the season at five games. The two home runs accounted for three of SWB's five runs and concluded the season series between the two clubs with Columbus (65-57) taking seven of the eight clashes.
The RailRiders led wire-to-wire, with three of the club's five tallies scoring courtesy of home runs. Richardson provided Turley with some early run support by launching a majestic bomb in the first for the initial lead. Roller joined the party with an impressive two-run opposite-way laser off starter Tyler Cloyd to extend the lead to 3-0 in the fourth.
Turley danced around four walks and didn't yield a hit until Jesus Aguilar ripped a line drive to right field to leadoff the sixth. A fielder's choice by Giovanny Urshela erased Aguilar before a base hit via Carlos Moncrief chased Turley from game. Reliever Nick Rumbelow tossed behind Turley, promptly issuing a fly ball and a walk before retiring Matt Carson on fielder's choice to end the threat. Two more RailRider runs crossed on a run-scoring knock by Richardson and sacrifice fly by Rob Refsnyder to extend the SWB lead, 5-0.
Turley (2-2) notched the win, pitching into the sixth and striking out five batters, while Cloyd (9-7) spun a quality start, spinning six innings and yielding three runs on four hits and striking out four in the loss, his first since July 3 against the Toledo Mud Hens. Three SWB relievers combined to finish off the game, with Edgmer Escalona yielding the only run on Luke Carlin's RBI double.
The RailRiders continue the eight-game home swing with the series opener against the Louisville Bats (Cincinnati Reds), August 11 at 7:05 p.m. SWB will start left-hander Matt Tracy (1-5, 3.99) while the Bats counter with right-hander Dylan Axelrod (7-8, 4.05). John Sadak and Aaron Berlin will have the call on radio with the pregame show beginning at 6:35 p.m. on NEPA Sports Radio - The GAME, Northeast PA's largest sports radio network: 100.7 FM, 1340 WYCK-AM, 1400 WICK-AM, 1440 WCDL-AM and 106.7 FM. For season ticket information, single-game tickets or to book a ballpark group outing, call (570) 969-BALL (2255) or visit swbrailriders.com.
Antoan Richardson's home run in the first inning marked his third of the season and first since May 4 off Suk-min Yoon of the Norfolk Tides in the fourth inning. The home run ended a drought that lasted 62 games and spanned 183 at-bats.
Richardson's home run in the first marked just the second time a RailRider a lead off a game with a home run this season, with Jose Pirela's solo blast off Pawtucket's Steven Wright on June 23 the lone other occurrence.
The win over the Clippers snapped a 14-game losing streak against Columbus dating back to the 2013 season, marking the longest successful run by a Columbus in the history of the series. It trumped a 12-game domination from June 1, 1993-April 9, 1994 when the then-Red Barons got outscored 97-27. The win was SWB's first against Columbus since April 23, 2013.
The RailRiders series finale win avoided a historic loss for SWB. Only once has SWB ever lost every meeting with a team in a single season. That came in 1989 when the first-ever Red Barons dropped each of their three games against Buffalo, all on the road. The SWB franchise has only lost every home match-up against a team in a single season five times (1989 vs. Iowa, 0-3; 1999 vs. Charlotte, 0-3 and vs. Indianapolis, 0-4; 2004 vs. Norfolk, 0-4; 2011 vs. Durham, 0-4). Today's contest is the final meeting with Columbus on the regular season.

Wilmington & Western Railroad Museum
The Wilmington and Western Railroad Museum is an operating railroad museum. That means visitors can climb aboard and ride on authentic rail cars pulled by one to two steam engines powered by coal, one engine was built in 1909 and the other engine in 1907, or historic diesel engines, or a self-propelled diesel-powered engine called a "doodlebug."
The Wilmington and Western Railroad is owned and operated by Historic Red Clay Valley, Inc. (HRCV), a not-for-profit organization. The Wilmington and Western Railroad has been serving the communities along Red Clay Creek since 1867.
Railroad Museum Excursions
Two regular railroad rides are available that take visitors on a historic and stunning ride along scenic Red Clay Creek and through the lovely Delaware countryside.
Mt Cuba Express
This excursion takes 1 ½ hours for the round trip. It chugs about 5 miles up the line and then stops for a half an hour at the Mt. Cuba Picnic Grove, and then returns to Greenback Station.
Hockessin Express
This excursion takes 2 ½ hours for the round trip. The ride goes for the entire 10 mile stretch of railroad line owned by HRCV to the town of Hockessin before returning to Greenback Station.
Special Train Excursions
HRCV also offers dinner trains, so visitors can enjoy a nice dinner while enjoying the scenery and the swaying of the train. Some dinner excursions are to a specific restaurant.
Holiday trains rides include Easter Bunny Express, Fireworks Express, Autumn Leaf Special, Halloween Express, Veteran's Day Celebration, Holiday Lights Express, and Santa Claus Express.
Those seeking thrills and scares can check out the Wild West Robbery Express, Hayride Express, and Ghosts of the Valley.

Big Spring Chapter
We would love to talk to you about becoming a member of the Society.
If you would like more information on the DAR, please email our chapter contact person Sara Baston.
Big Spring Chapter, located in Kentucky at Georgetown, organized on March 6, 1912, by Miss Katherine Stout Bradley, chapter organizing regent. The chapter was named for the Big Spring which Colonel John Floyd discovered on July 9, 1774. Colonel Floyd was a surveyor assigned the duty of mapping the part of "Kaintuckee," which lay north of the Kentucky River. He described the spring as "Royal." The spring was first called Floyd's Spring in his honor. Records show that it received the name "Royal Spring" on April 29, 1780.
News of adequate water supply traveled fast in pioneer days; and in October, 1775, John McClelland, his family, Colonel Robert Patterson and six other frontiersmen left Pittsburg to settle in Kentucky near the spring. Early in 1776 they had erected a fort near the site of Royal Spring; this was the first fortified station north of the Kentucky River, and the first settlement of more than one family in that section, now Scott County. This fort, called McClelland's Station, was a stop-over station for pioneers passing to and from larger settlements south of the Kentucky River.
Late in 1776, the fort was destroyed by Indians; John McClelland was mortally wounded and died January 6, 1777. Following this attack, the fort was abandoned for almost ten years. Then came settlers from 'back East,' among whom was Elijah Craig, a Baptist minister, who left Virginia with family and friends to escape religious persecution. Craig built his home on the "Big Spring" branch, not far from the old fort site. The new settlement was called Lebanon's Station; but in 1790 the name was changed from Lebanon's Station to George Town in honor of George Washington.

DIY teleprompter text reverserator written in the year 2005 by steve cooleyhttp://www.somejunkwelike.com with critical parts contributing to it's functionality by: http://www.apple.com/macosx http://www.apache.org http://www.php.net http://www.entropy.ch http://www.stewartspeak.com/headings/ http://www.brownielocks.com/autoscroll1.html http://www.x11.org http://fontforge.sourceforge.net http://www.tulrich.com/fonts/ - nice Public Domain font! woot! Thank you!
Heh, that is awesome! The attribution is fine (none required, but I appreciate it anyway). I'm adding a link to my fonts page. -Tinspired by: http://www.hackaday.com which pointed me to: http://www.wallstreetfreethinker.com/otherstuff/PlastiPrompter/plastiprompter.htm which reminded me of: http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/22302.html
That is very cool and would be very useful to someone who doesn't want to edit HTML. A do-it yourself teleprompter for people who don't code. Very slick, will certainly mention in my next installment. Thanks Steve! Best, MaxAnd, of course, my wonderful wife, whom I'm always trying to impress. :) hey, Max Rottersman and Brian P. Lawler, this script is for you! This is a utility that takes your text and prepares it for your DIY teleprompter rig. You can check it out here, but, I extremely, highly, recommend, wait.. No, MUST INSIST that you download it and run it on your own >= php 4.3.4 machine. Like most everything on the Mac, this is easy. Install Marc Liyanage's entropy.ch php module, turn on personal web sharing and you're essentially set. BUT, helping you get online with PHP apache, etc, etc, etc... is welllll past the scope of this utility. If you need help getting PHP to run, try the free tech support forums at Macosx.com or on the entropy.ch user forum.
