Region 5AAA boys at Northeast:
Mt. Juliet vs. Clarksville at 6 p.m.; Wilson Central vs. Beech at 7:30 p.m.
Region 4A boys at Livingston Academy:
Clarkrange vs. Watertown at 6 p.m.; Friendship Christian vs. Jackson County at 7:30 p.m.
Tonight's winners qualify for the Sweet 16; losers go home.
FROM SATURDAY -- It was a great night for the locals as all four Wilson County boys basketball teams advanced to their respective regional semifinals with quarterfinal wins Saturday.
IN REGION 4A AT WATERTOWN-- Watertown High coach Matt Bradshaw opted to dwell on the positives, instead of an 18-of-39 night at the free throw line as the Purple Tigers held on for a 54-45 victory over Pickett County Saturday at home.
Watertown went into the lockerroom at halftime up 24-17 on the strength of a dazzling 21-0 run.
"Do you realize how many demons we excorcised tonight?" Bradshaw said after the game, "I don't know if this program has ever played in regional tournament game -- much less won one.
"We did a great job on defense, especially early and I thought we played pretty good defense throughout -- we just quit scoring."
Pickett County cut Watertown's lead down to 43-41 with 2:16 to play, but back to back buckets by post man Ben Bain off the fast break stopped the bleeding.
"Ben is awfully steady," Bradshaw said, "he gives us everything he's got night after night. Those were a couple of big buckets right there."
Soph forward Ty Jobe led the Tigers (25-5) with 14 points while Maceio Gaines and KeAnDre Bates each had eight. Bain and Josiah Smith each had six points while Nick Sackman and Aaron Morgan finished with four points apiece.
IN REGION 5AAA AT DICKSON-- Mt. Juliet rode the hot hand of senior guard Caleb Chowbay and easily defeated District 10AAA champ Northeast 68-51. Down 26-23 at intermission, the Golden Bears put the game on ice with a 25-10 fourth quarter burst. Leading 51-47 with 4:51 left, the Bears closed out the game with a 17-4 run.
The Belmont-bound Chowbay scored 23 points and had four 3-point goals as the Bears improved to 25-7 with the win. C.J. McEwen finished with 14 and Brandon Shepard had 13. Mt. Juliet finished with eight 3-pointers.
When were playing good, we make 3s, said Mt. Juliet coach Troy Allen. When we havent been good, we miss them.
Northeast ended the season 28-3, despite 18 points from Kentucky-signee Alex Poythress. No other Northeast player could crack double figures against Mt. Juliet's sticky defense.
IN REGION 5AAAAT NORTHEAST-- Wilson Central built an early lead and then withstood a late second half rally by host Dickson County to win 63-57 and advance in the quarterfinal round of the Region 5AAA Tournament Saturday night.
The Wildcats scored the final eight points of a low-scoring first period to lead 8-3 and built the margin to 25-13 at intermission. The Wildcats were able to keep the distance until down the stretch of the fourth quarter thanks to 56 percent (10-18) field goal shooting in the second half. The Wildcats also held a big advantage at the free throw line, converting 19-of-28 attempts for the game as compared to DCHSs 4-of-5.
Central held its biggest lead in the second half at 13 points (54-41) with 3:07 remaining after Blake Huffmans layup on a fast break. The Cougars would then go on a run and were able to pull to 59-54with 1:19 left. However, the Wildcats sealed the game at the free throw line as DCHS was able to manage a lone field goal and one free throw the rest of the way.
Wilson Central featured a balanced scoring attack with Jacob Williams leading the way with 18. Dee Oldham tallied 16, powered by 10-of-15 free throwing shooting and had a game-high 11 rebounds. Conner Brandon scored 12 and Huffman finished with 10. Central finished the game shooting 51 percent from the floor (20-39).
Dickson County (21-8) was led by Tyler Spicers 19 points and nine rebounds. JeQuan Lewis added 16 and had a game-high five steals and Dante Daniel had 10 points off the bench.
IN REGION 4A IN LEBANON-- Friendship Christian rolled out to a 34-16 first half lead and coasted in for a 59-44 victory over Clay County at the Bay Family Sportsplex.
Mark Sandoval had 18 for the Commanders who improved to 22-3 with the win. Allen Heaston added 14 and Dalton Patterson added eight.
Jordan Strong had 22 points, including six 3-pointers, for Clay County (19-9). All four of Friday night's local winners will take part in loser-out games Tuesday night in their respective regional tournaments.

Been an interesting couple of weeks. Left two weeks ago Sunday for Indianapolis to attend a professional certification class for my business. Got home late Friday night of Labor Day weekend.
One of my aunts passed away in Ohio on Saturday. Off to Ohio early Tuesday morning and back late last night.
Almost 2000 miles on the car in less than two weeks.
Did manage to get some good cooks in over Labor Day weekend. Whole beef tenderloin on Saturday, ribs on Sunday, and chicken wings on Monday. Did fresh sweet corn on the grill both Saturday and Sunday.
Knew going to Ohio that I had to try to find some fish to cold smoke to take to my family. Got two nice rainbow trout, a golden trout, and a porgy from local fresh market that has a nice fish / seafood case. Used Billy "Bones" Wall's Caribbean Smoke to cure and cold smoked on mesquite tempered with white oak. Turned out good.
Hopefully be home for foreseeable future so I can get some work done and grilling / barbecue on a more regular basis.

On Thursday 26th May the Royal Armouries hosted the premiers of six short films produced by students at the Northern Film School, part of Leeds Met University.
The Royal Armouries and the Northern Film School have collaborated on projects for their year two students for the last few years. The Museum provides briefs for the films and the students then pitch their ideas to a panel from the Film School, Museum and other industry specialists. The chosen briefs then go into production.
The films were shot last December and several of the productions faced problems caused by the heavy snow fall. The final six films were premiered at the Museum to Film School staff, students, and guests from the Royal Armouries.
The evening started with Za App, a unique film using arcade game graphics, sounds and narration to explore the idea of an iPhone app which has devastating consequences. The film La Resistance showed the conflict faced by many in the Second World War who sought revenge and the possible repercussions this may cause. Like Father Like Son was a touching short following a young solder returning home, to the words of his father's thoughts on his experiences of war and its impact on the individual.
The next two films dealt with the reporting of war, raising issues of the dangers faced by photographers for their art and also the possibility of provocative images being falsified. Reporting the War was notable for its very engaging tone, music and very well constructed flashback sequence. The final film, Two Soldiers was a visually engaging piece showing two soldiers as they prepared for battle – cleverly comparing and contrasting a crusader with a modern day soldier both in conflict in the Middle East.
All the films are available to view on the Royal Armouries YouTube channel along with previous year's films.

Next weekend, my parents are coming down to Austin, and I would like to take a day trip with them into the Hill Country. My initial thought was to drive out to Llano for lunch at Cooper's, but my mom is allergic to mesquite so we can't eat there.
Any other good picks around the Highland Lakes or along the 281 corridor between Burnet and Blanco?

Ever have one of those nights where you just can't decide what to do with something that's already been defrosted? Earlier this week I had some chicken thighs that needed to be cooked and I just didn't feel like tackling a recipe, so after thinking about things a bit I decided to slop them with some soy sauce and then treat one half to some hot sauce and the other to the last dregs of a bottle of sesame oil.
They sat in the fridge for 24 hours and then I started them skin-down directly over the coals. After about 5 minutes I flipped them and moved them to indirect heat. I didn't get an exact reading but based on the way the thermometer needle went flying past 350 I'm guessing they cooked at 450 or higher.
Was the skin crisp? Yes, it was! They turned out pretty good in that they were cooked through and juicy, but I think the higher heat really hurt the flavor of the soy sauce and sesame oil.

I'm confused about <q>, ,
.
Especially after reading that article: Quoting and citing with
, <q>, , and the cite attribute | HTML5 Doctor (which is great, by the way).
Here's what I want to do:
I heard someone speak at a conference. I'd like to use a couple of sentences for the opening of an article (rights have been granted), as if a prelude.
Which tag would I use? I would go for
, but I just wanna make sure.

 is for quoting a block of text, and it is a block level element. In other words, it will be separated from the paragraphs before and after. (It can't contain text directly, either, you have to use a
 or some other element inside it.)
<q> is for quoting text within a paragraph or other block, and it is an inline element. In other words, it can't exist as a stand-alone section, only within another container.
It depends on how you're setting out your page as to whether you want the quote to stand out or to be integrated into the rest of the text.
The
 tag is for longer quotes where you display the quote as a separate block offset from the rest of the text. Shorter inline quotes go in the <q> tag.
The  tag is used with either of the above to identify where the quote comes from.
Lemme put it this way:
CITE and Q are for inside a normal sentence:
As General George S. Patton often said,
<q>Do not tell a man how to do a job. Tell him to get it
done and let him impress you with his ingenuity.</q>
A normal quote inside a sentence uses inline elements. Blockquote is for when you have a... well, block quote.

When I want my men to remember something important, to
really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not
sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea
party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an
army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An
army without profanity couldn't fight it's way out of a
piss-soaked paper bag.
As for the types of comments I make -- Sometimes I just,
By God, get carried away with my own eloquence.
-- General George S. Patton Jr.
See the difference? Threw a CITE attribute on the blockquote so you can see the difference between the attribute and the tag. As an attribute it's optional -- you can use it on Q or BLOCKQUOTE, and it should be a URL... unlike the CITE tag, which should be text saying who/what you are citing with said quote... AND can be used on it's own when you are repeating information from a source without PRECISELY quoting it.
As reported in the Nashua Telegraph a 47 year old
Manchester man was arrested public indecency for hiding in the
Cess-pit underneath public outhouses at various state parks.
Citing the source WITHOUT a direct quote. Ideally I'd put a anchor inside the cite on this last one pointing to the original article.
Thank you, guys.
d60: thank you so much for having taken the time to give me such a detailed explanation. Everything's all clear now. You rock. And I think you've made yours Patton's technique.
Two more questions:
1) Does the cite tag have to follow the blockquote tag immediately, or can it be separated by some other pieces of content (no examples to provide, just in theory)?
2) Can the cite tag precede the blockquote, and be surrounded by other tags? (,
 etc...)
The  tag marks up a citation, ie another source referred to in your text. That should be as close as possible to the
 it refers to (if it even refers to one), but it isn't a programmatic relationship, you can use whatever structure works for you.
The cite="..." attribute in a
 tag can also be used to give a source URL for the quote. Although I'm not sure that there is any user-agent out there that does anything with it!
SteviePerhaps not, but it can still be used for cool add-on effects, e.g:
blockquote:before {
background-color: #ddd;
box-shadow: 2px 2px #666;
content: attr(cite);
float: right;
font-style: italic;
margin: 2px;
padding: 2px 4px;
Here's the simplest way to explain those three HTML tags
<q> is used for writing short quotations.
 is used for references to books, websites, etc (a bit like when your doing a school assignment and quoting a source).

 is used for long quotations.
Cite is pretty confusing on its own. It's more confusing within the HTML5 spec, where they've declared (for now) that cite tags may ONLY have titles of works in them. Nothing else.
No authors, artists, dates, or anything else. Titles of works only.
Why they would do this but then not find other tags for the other stuff, I dunno. Please leave your sense of logic (and semantics and anything else) at the door please.
I would go with <q> tag ... but doesn't "..." do it?Or just write the phrase and at the end - by author?
Browser support for it is still poor... so it's not always used -- though it's gotten better since we no longer care about NN4 or IE5; it is also styled inconsistently cross-browser so many people either won't use it, or add it to their "reset".
It's in my list of "They're wasting time implementing HTML 5 when they don't even have HTML 4 implemented yet?"
Then search engines, screen readers, and other non-"screen" targets treat said text as no different.
Again, semantic markup -- saying what things ARE, not what they look like... though it is often handy to have a hook to apply styling to indicate it is different for all media targets. Another reason you are much more likely to see BLOCKQUOTE than Q... see a quote box on a forums for example. Though many forums still have their heads wedged up 1997's backside and go "la-la-la-la" so far as 2000 to 2010 is concerned -- just like HTML 5 does.
In English, a block quote would have opening quotation marks at the beginning of each paragraph, and a closing quotation mark at the end of the last paragraph. Modern typographical convention calls for the opening quote marks to be outdented. The text-indent: property lets us do the outdent easily. Unless you want to add the quotes manually, we can use pseudo elements and classes from css. That will work for modern browsers. So, what about older IEs? My attitude in this case is forget IE. The block indention sets aside the quote sufficiently, and the
 tag should set it out for screen readers.
We can properly quote the text in modern graphic browsers by adding a bit of css style rules.
blockquote p {
text-indent: -.5em; /*value equals approximate
width of quote-mark face*/
blockquote p:before {
content: open-quote;
blockquote p:after {
content: close-quote; /*we have to close each paragraph
else following quotes would all
be inner quotes*/
visibility: hidden; /*so we hide them until the last
blockquote p:last-child:after,
blockquote p.last-p:after { /*belt and suspenders; use a class on last p
for older Opera and chrome*/
visibility: visible;
Thank you. Very helpful.
Would it be ok not to display quotes? Or would that be a crucial mistake in the design of a website?
Not at all crucial. It is only important that the block quote be differentiated from the rest of the text. The default side margins for blockquote are derived from the print convention of setting the quoted text in from the page margin to allow room for the quote marks.
Key word there is ENGLISH, which is why they should NOT be automatically added. Besides, as characters and language syntax quotes SHOULD be in the markup as CDATA!
What you have there is like adding periods automatically to a paragraph or dollar signs automatically to numbers using CSS -- nonsensical at best, grammatically incorrect at worst.
1)
 tag is used for put the long text in quotes form.2)<q> tag is used for put the short text in quotes form.3) tag defines citation.
??? The applied quote marks are language dependent. The browser automagically uses the symbols/glyphs appropriate to the page's language. If the usage is not appropriate to the page language, use a different convention.
Besides, as characters and language syntax quotes SHOULD be in the markup as CDATA!
What you have there is like adding periods automatically to a paragraph or dollar signs automatically to numbers using CSS -- nonsensical at best, grammatically incorrect at worst.This is a typographic convention. Originally, quoted text was not marked at all. It was sufficient to say who was speaking and what he said. In the Baroque period printers began adding marks, quote marks if you like, to the beginning of each printed line of the quoted text. By the Renaissance, printers began removing the marks, but leaving the space. From that we have both the conventions of indenting block quotes and the one I described above. Do you have issues with the indention being in the presentation layer? Using quotes as above is only a different typographical convention and both may be used. Neither are structural in nature.
You have previously made the point strongly that typography belongs in the presentation layer. Now you say it belongs in the structural layer. Make up your mind, Jason.
Such typographical decisions were made by the printer based on their time and limitations of the hardware -- NOT the proper conventions of the language. It's like text printed as ascii7 -- oft made are the sacrifices of the time...
This is where we differ on the attitude -- I'm basing on written grammar per the Philadelphia standard as one would expect to be taught in high school or even grade school English, you're basing on the history of typography... which frankly has a very poor history of following the rules of grammar and syntax.
Kinda like HTML coders...
Earlier in the same section, there was this:
Visual user agents must ensure that the content of the Q element is rendered with delimiting quotation marks. Authors should not put quotation marks at the beginning and end of the content of a Q element.
User agents should render quotation marks in a language-sensitive manner (see the lang attribute). Many languages adopt different quotation styles for outer and inner (nested) quotations, which should be respected by user-agents.
My suggestion is consistent with W3 recommendations.
Don't be obtuse, Jason. Grammar is about how language is used. Typography is about how it is rendered. There are bits of overlap simply because many typographical conventions have been adopted by grammarians. Even your beloved paragraph is a typographical construct. Typesetters, and that includes the olden monk scriveners, began marking changes of voice, topic, tenor, &c. to make reading easier. The pilcrow (¶) was the symbol used to mark the change. Then came a line break before the symbol, then the symbol was removed leaving the familiar line indent. And so, we have paragraphs as typographic artifacts.
Grammar and typography are not mutually exclusive. They each have a part in the finished product. Typography is the area of decision making when you decide, for example, how to render a heading; font size, font family, weight, flush left, flush right, centered, etc. How will you display a menu? Oh, and the blockquote? Indented, italicized, use quote marks, other, all of the above? Parenthetically, I read a lot of research papers, and block quotes are ubiquitous. I think I've seen every possible method of setting the quoted text apart; indented, quote marks, italics, bold, smaller fonts, different font families, and any and every combination. None had jack to do with grammar, and everything to do with typography. The important issue is whether the quoted text is identifiable as separate from the authors' text. All of the methods do the required job, though some are less than æsthetically pleasing.
Or, do you not use style sheets?

Working in the newspaper business, I have the opportunity to visit many people, places and things in and around the county.
Of course there are certain places I always enjoy going, and I don't mind telling you our schools are right up there near the top of my list. And so it was this week when I had the opportunity to visit an area school. The door had barely closed behind me, and the memories quickly began tapping me on my shoulder.
The smell hit me first. Most schools smell the same — except for DePue, which always smells of something wonderful cooking/baking/roasting in the school cafeteria. It's clearly incredible, and every time I've gone to DePue around lunch time, I've always wished I'd brought my lunch money. Those lunch ladies down there can cook! Anyway ... back to the smell.
As I walked down the dimly-lit hallway, the smell wasn't any different than the way my schools smelled nearly 50 years ago. It was a distinctive aroma — a combination of old books and sweaty kids coupled with the not-so-distinct scent of success and sometimes failure too. Quite frankly, I wanted to stop and lean up against the wall, close my eyes and breathe deeply for a few minutes, as the memories continued to send me down Memory Lane.
The sights and sounds ... Some kid slamming a locker door in the distance brought me back to reality but not for long. I continued down the hallway, momentarily glancing into classrooms as I passed, where I saw children engaged and teachers doing what they do best. It would have been fun to linger in the present, but for some reason, my mind kept taking me back to yesteryear ...
Favorite teachers' faces returned quickly — their smiles, their eagerness and excitement about the lessons they taught, their compliments and their encouragement. I doubt I'll every forget those faces. On the proverbial other side of the hall, there was always that teacher who scared our youthful souls to death — the one rumored to have young boys and girls hidden in her closet — bad boys and girls who she hoarded and snacked on during the summer break. (Don't write me letters, please. We were kids, and we had vivid imaginations!)
Almost at my destination in the school that day, I could see children on the playground, and teachers watching their antics, as they wiped their brows from the late summer heat; I heard a music class singing a charismatic version of a familiar tune; and I passed the gymnasium where a group of kids were red-faced and sweaty as a ball went flying past the gym door and a teacher's words of warning bellowed from inside the hot room.
An adult passed me in the hallway and asked me if I needed help ... and for a moment, I wanted to tell her I did. That's right. I wanted her to tell me how I could return to a place in time, when the biggest worries of the day were what I got on my math test, what the cafeteria was serving for lunch, and which boy liked which girl. Instead, I thanked her for her concern and moved on.
School has started, and while I realize the educational process is considerably different than when I was a child, I have to believe the basics are the same: Kids need great teachers to offer the tools of knowledge to take their students into the future, and teachers need parents to encourage their child and work hand-in-hand with them to ensure these kids are ready for the world. Basically, teachers need parents to support them and then leave them alone to do what they do best — teach our young people.
Bureau County has exceptional schools and phenomenal teachers. The rest of the world should be so lucky. A quick trip down an educational Memory Lane reminded me of that ...

— October
By Ben Ellison
Thank You, Mr. Gates
|Microsoft alumni are gifts to the world of marine software.
You'd be grinning, too! Brad Christian, who retired young after a fruitful 17-year stint as a Microsoft programmer, is seen at right enjoying quality time aboard his Bayliner 5788 Urania. He and his family are just setting out on a "gourmet cruise" of Washington State's San Juan Islands, an event which he took pleasure in organizing for his yacht club this past summer season (and which sounds tasty enough to deserve coverage in our sister publication Voyaging). On top of all that, Christian has the satisfaction of navigating with a humdinger of a program, Coastal Explorer (CE), that he built himself and that I predict will become a valued tool for many boaters.
Microsoft may be a popular punching bag both for regular folks frustrated with computer complications and competitors annoyed at aggressive business practices, but its huge success certainly has been good for yachting. Cofounder Paul Allen's 414-foot Octopus deservedly gets major attention on PMY's busy (and fascinating) Megayachts forum. He and other key beneficiaries of Bill Gates' money machine own no fewer than four of "The World's 100 Largest Yachts," and the Seattle area is reportedly crawling with more modest yet technologically tricked-out Softie boats.
But the person who particularly earns my gratitude is the smarty who "graduates" from Microsoft comfortable enough to take an extended cruising break, but instead—or simultaneously—builds cool marine software for the rest of us. Two such alumni founded charting powerhouse Nobeltec ten years ago, and one of my favorite mainly-just-for-fun programs, the PocketStars (www.nomadelectronics.com) astronomy guide and nav calculator, was apparently created more or less for the hell of it while its alumni developer enjoyed "retirement" along the Inside Passage.
Maybe it's the driven, brainy—even arrogant—"we can do it better" Microsoft culture, or the proximity to great boating waters, or the creative energy naturally born of new freedom. Whatever causes the phenomenon, Christian and CE are certainly its expression. Even the prerelease software version I've been testing is notably stable, well-crafted, and loaded with fresh ideas.
I'm hard put to name a favorite, but I guess I'd start with the tightly integrated gazetteer. Almost all PC nav programs and plotters already help navigators access useful supplemental information without digging around in reference books, usually via icon chart overlays and/or somewhat cumbersome "find" menus. CE goes to the next level. First, it contains a vast database of 7 million place names and locations, which it monitors without asking and without cluttering the display. As your cursor plays over a chart, the appropriate names appear on the status bar, and when you create a new route, the start and finish locations are automatically used to name it. When a buddy mentions a hot fishing spot or a great anchorage you haven't heard of, there's the Google-style search box on the main toolbar, which will zip you to an annotated list of all matching locations and then probably right to its charted position.

J. Mendel Spring 2013
The spring collection Gilles Mendel sent down the runway today was a success for the following reasons. One: the range of colors from sherbets to jewel tones was delightful. For every pistachio green trapeze top and seashell pink raglan coat there was a dramatic peacock blue evening dress and a deep purple wisteria-print pant. Two: the clean makeup and hair swept off the face and cascading down the back looked perfectly natural, as if no one was trying too hard. And three: As always, anyone in need of a long evening look come spring—and they're more challenging to find than you'd think— should start here. Mendel has built a reputation for evening (on top of the house's long history with fur) and it's due as much to his ability to fit and flatter real women as it is that he offers pieces that are interesting without being too complicated. The ones he presented today all carried the J. Mendel hallmarks: deep V-neck, roping detail, accordion-pleated chiffon that wafts gently in the breeze. What was new were the touches of floral appliqués on the shoulders and hips, a nod to the rich flora of Japan's Kawachi Fuji Gardens.
Mendel's also made valiant efforts to amp up the label's daytime offerings without compromising any attention to detail. This season he laser-cut leather into a fine lace for full skirts, short shorts, and fitted tanks. They looked light and wearable, but they also represented the challenge for a house like this in terms of putting on a large-scale runway production. Clothes this worked are best seen up close. They're not attention-grabbing pieces, which is very much the appeal for the women who wear them, but can make also for a quiet show. Then again, maybe that's okay. There's nothing wrong with a breath of fresh air, especially for spring.

A new Arizona law aims to increase fresh produce donations directly from farmers to food banks and other charities. The Western Growers-sponsored bill signed last night by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer allows farmers to receive tax deductions if they donate some of the crops they produce—literally giving away the fruits of their labor to the hungry. Building on the spirit of giving, the law revises previously complicated rules for the donations in hopes of boosting charitable contributions.
Sponsored by Arizona Sen. Steve Yarbrough (R-Chandler), the new law will apply to all 2012 tax year Arizona grown fresh produce donations.
"I am very pleased and appreciate the action whereby Gov. Brewer signed my Senate Bill 1121. This bill will make farm fresh produce donated to food banks easier to accomplish and will greatly benefit some of the most needy in our society," said Yarbrough. "I applaud Western Growers for urging this legislation."
Arizona food banks are also excited about the new law.
"We're looking for good, solid nutritious food. And fresh produce, you can't hardly get any better than that," said Ginny Hildebrand, president & CEO of the Association of Arizona Food Banks. "We're really excited about the potential of this law. What we know is that these growers and owners of fresh produce products in Arizona have one purpose in mind—that is to feed hungry people. They don't grow product to see it wasted."
Analysis from the food bank shows that less than 1 percent of fresh produce grown in Arizona was donated to food banks in past years. Hildebrand hopes the new law will change that. The law makes these fresh produce donations common sense by allowing farmers and others to deduct the wholesale market price of the fresh produce for tax purposes. The law also gets rid of complicated restrictions that entire crops be harvested on behalf of a charity. That means farmers can immediately donate food when they choose.
That's important for Arizona farmers like Western Growers board member Gary Pasquinelli of Pasquinelli Produce Company, who heard about a similar law developed with help from Western Growers in California. Pasquinelli asked the right question: Why not a similar law in Arizona? Paul Muthart, also of Pasquinelli Produce Company, then provided critical input to make sure the tax deduction would work with businesses tax structures.
Established in 1984, the Association of Arizona Food Banks is a private, non-profit organization serving five-member regional food banks (Community Food Bank, Desert Mission Food Bank, St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance, United Food Bank, Yuma Community Food Bank) and a network of nearly 1,600 food pantries and agencies. As one of the first state associations in the nation and an inaugural partner state association of Feeding America, AAFB was instrumental in the development of a statewide gleaning project, and our advocacy efforts have brought about beneficial state and federal legislation for our member food banks and the people they serve. For more information, to find a food bank or pantry in your area, or to learn more about donation and volunteer opportunities, please visit www.azfoodbanks.org.

Recently I have noticed that my female cockateil has a dropped wing. I have felt around to see if any bones are sticking out and it does not seem to be broken. she can move it and spread it out and acting normal. It just does not look right at all. I was wondering if anyone would have any information as to what may be wrong ???

Pro Party Appetizers
There's one sort of food your bound to find at a party - any party - and we're not talking about dessert!
There's one sort of food your bound to find at a party - any party - and we're not talking about dessert!
Appetizers, hors d'ouevres, finger foods, starters, mini bites, apps, antipasto, cocktails, tidbits. There are plenty of names for the all important party menu food, but no matter what you call them, they have to meet certain criteria to be considered a pro party appetizer.
Party apps have to be easy to eat, pleasing to many, delicious and not to mention, fun. We're so tired of those pigs-in-a-blanket and boring shrimp cocktail! As much as we love those classics, the world of party appetizers as expanded so widely - and we want to try them all!
Check out our favorite pro party appetizers and give them a go the next time you've got a crowd coming over!
Like we said, no more shrimp cocktail! You can have your shrimps in a more sophisticated way and without much more work. Andrea shares her recipe for a unique twist on an all around appetizer winner in this video. Not into zesty garlic shrimp? Try our tea marinated shrimp recipe instead. Either way - skip the store bought cocktail sauce.
Even a BLT can be turned into an elegant pro party appetizer. Just downsize them! This tutorial for homemade bread cups is crazy simple and the filling a chopped up version of the popular sandwich ingredients. Everyone, and we mean everyone, will love this app recipe.
You can also use filo dough to make mini party cups to fill with tasty appetizer mixes. This chicken artichoke recipe is one of those recipes we love eating as much as we love serving it to our guests.
For a more formal feel, and a more filling pro party app, turn to these mini stuffed potatoes topped with a thin slice of salmon and chive. It's a flavor packed bite that delights the tastebuds!
For another unexpected potato appetizer, consider serving this more dressed up version of a favorite. Applewood bacon and cheddar give potato skins a more grown up flavor.
Another familiar appetizer remade, these bites are given a fresh look but still have the same comforting taste. Rather than displaying on a bland pick, assemble this layered tomato-mozzarella appetizer on mini forks to increase the drama.
Have you ever eaten mac-and-cheese on a stick? We didn't think so. Your party guests will go just as crazy as you once they try this cheesy, crunchy app. Best of all, it's really not hard to make!
Ideal for an early afternoon affair, delicate tea sandwiches are so delicious and look formal without a ton of work. Fill them with whatever creative mix you can think up, then make them mini by cutting your bread with a small cookie cutter.
Buffalo chicken can be made in the crock pot long before your guests arrive, so this recipe isn't just delicious - it's convenient, too! As if it couldn't get better, our buffalo chicken wrap recipe is a healthier version of the classic using lettuce leaves to hold the shredded mix. Trust us - this is a pro appetizer everyone (and their waistlines) will love.
Nothing says comfort food more than tomato soup and grilled cheese, but even this classic combo can be made into an elegant, chic and delicious mini bite. Turn your favorite meal into a pro party app with our easy recipe!
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

That's the topic--and a good one it is--of the 2013 4-H Honey Bee Essay Contest, sponsored by The Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees.
Why this topic? "Pesticides are a fact of modern life, but misuse or overuse of pesticides, or making poor choices when selecting and applying pesticides can be devastating to honey bees and other pollinators. The 4-H'ers are encouraged to learn about bee-killing pesticides being used in their communities – by homeowners, businesses, or farmers. Then, they should investigate how the impact of those pesticides on honey bees can be lessened."--National Essay Contest Guidelines.
The contest is open only to members of 4-H, a youth development program that teaches life skills and how to make the best better. Some 4-H'ers are beekeepers, but enrollment in a beekeeping project isn't required to enter the competition.
Each state will select a winner and then a national winner will be selected from the pool of state winners.
Judges will score the essays on scope of research (40 percent), accuracy (30 percent), creativity (10 percent), conciseness (10 percent) and logical development of the topic (10 percent).
California 4-H'ers have until Feb. 15, 2013 to submit their essays (750 to 1000) words to the state judge/coordinator, Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology. All essays must be electronically submitted (email@example.com). (See the rules.)
In 2011, California 4-H'er Rachel Ricchiuto won the national award for her essay on "U.S. Honey: A Taste for Every Preference." This year (2012) another California 4-H'er, Tucker Van Brunt, received second for his essay on "The Results of Honey Bee Pollination in My Community." You can read their essays and other award-winning essays on the Honey Bee Preservation website.
The national winners will receive cash prizes: 1st place: $750; 2nd place, $500; and 3rd place, $250. All national and state winners will receive a book about honey bees, beekeeping, or honey.
It will be interesting to see what the youths have to say about pesticides.
And, by the way, Mussen points out that "honey bee" is two words, not one.

- ABfinity™ recombinant antibodies are screened to be sensitive and specific
- Enable consistent performance for your assays
- Consistent product from lot to lot
ABfinity™ recombinant rabbit antibodies are produced from specific recombinant clones, so antibody performance is consistent over time. Lot-to-lot variability, commonly a problem with polyclonal products, is minimized with ABfinity™ antibodies. In addition to the monoclonal versions of our ABfinity™ antibodies, we offer oligoclonal versions of several of these specificities. Oligoclonal ABfinity™ products are a mixture of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and offer the improved signal strength you get with polyclonal antibodies, combined with the highly reproducible results you get from monoclonals.
Th2 cell differentiation is initiated through IL-4 stimulation of the IL-4 receptor in the presence of T cell activating receptor (TCR) crosslinking in naive T cells. IL-4R signaling, mediated by STAT6, results in transcription of IL-4 and GATA3. GATA3 remodels chromatin, driving T cells towards the Th2 lineage.

Interleukin 4 (IL-4) is a key cytokine in inducing Th2 differentiation. IL-4 interacts with the IL-4 receptor, activating the STAT6 pathway, which in turn leads to IL-4 transcription, setting up an autocrine loop. We offer Gibco® Recombinant IL-4 from human, mouse, and swine for use in studying Th2 differentiation.
Gibco® cytokines and growth factors are high-purity recombinant proteins with high bioactivity. Gibco® growth factors are of the highest quality because each protein is analyzed for purity along with structural homogeneity to help ensure a biologically active protein is produced.

- Optimized probes for detection of oxidative stress in live cells
- Simple 30-minute protocol that can be multiplexed with other compatible live-cell dyes
- Compatible with various platforms such as live-cell fluorescence imaging, high-content screening (HCS), flow cytometry, high-throughput screening (HTS)
CellROX® oxidative stress reagents are fluorogenic probes designed to reliably measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) in live cells. The cell-permeant reagents are nonfluorescent (or very weakly fluorescent) while in a reduced state. Upon oxidation, they produce a strong fluorescent signal. With these reagents, researchers can detect oxidative stress in the red, orange, and green channels of their instruments.
Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ability of cells to scavenge them. In addition to the role oxidative stress plays in the progression of many diseases, ROS also appears to drive T cells toward the Th2 phenotype (J Immunol 176:2765 (2006)). CellROX® reagents offer a simple live-cell workflow for measuring oxidative stress that can be adapted to various platforms and benchtop instruments, such as the Tali® Image-Based Cytometer, FLoid™ Cell Imaging Station, and Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer.

Get ready to fall in: Air Force-wide roll call is back.
Beginning immediately, the Air Force has re-instituted a servicewide roll call, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force James Cody said Sept. 18.
It will be up to front-line supervisors to decide how frequently to hold roll calls — some could be daily, others could be weekly or even monthly.
Cody said the change is a crucial step toward improving face-to-face communication within units and between airmen. Looking one another in the eye will strengthen the bonds between airmen in a way that online communication such as emails and Facebook posts cannot, Cody said.
"We have to do this," he said. "I think it's the right thing to do. This is how we'll continue to care for our airmen, because we'll know our airmen, because we spend time with one another."
Some units, such as maintenance shops, already have a regular roll call to take their troops' pulse, spread the word on new plans or requirements, and make sure they are understood. But the Air Force stopped requiring daily roll call in 1966, as the Vietnam War was ramping up. Former Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Rodney McKinley revived a servicewide roll call in 2006, but it gradually faded away. Until now, roll call was largely replaced by commander's call, which was introduced in the 1950s.
At commander's calls, large groups meet to hear from their senior leaders about a wide range of topics. Roll call is a routine gathering of smaller groups, led by direct supervisors, that allows for a more intimate appraisal of how airmen are doing. In these meetings, supervisors can tell if their airmen have problems or concerns with a new policy, or have fully understood it, Cody said.
"You can't get that through an email," Cody said. "You can't get that through a text or a tweet or a Facebook page. I might get some response that says you are acknowledging the information, but I don't know whether I've communicated to you effectively on what we're talking about. I haven't made that connection, and that is what daily roll call is all about."
Of course, it's unlikely that enlisted service members will speak up and tell their commanding officer when they think a new policy is a boneheaded idea. But Cody said supervisors will benefit from seeing their airmen's reactions when they hear about new policies, even if it's only a nonverbal reaction.
"Just like, I'm sitting in a room, looking at you, you're looking at me, and everything I'm saying, I'm getting feedback from you," Cody said. "Whether you like it, or don't like it, or whether you're getting it or not."
Cody said the Air Force is giving individual units wide leeway on how they structure their roll calls, because different units will have different requirements.
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh last year began considering reviving a servicewide roll call as a way to bring airmen and their leaders together.
Airmen "want to know that their squadron commander or their chief or their [NCO in charge] or their branch chief believes in what they're doing," Welsh said in September 2012. "They want to ask questions about why it's important. They want to understand where they fit in the process."
Airmen's reactions to the announcement on Air Force Times' Facebook page were divided. Some thought bringing back roll call could improve discipline.
"Tell me why it is when I go to the chow hall I see so many airmen looking like a bag of ass," a commenter named Jorge Reyes said. "If [their] front line supervisor had looked over their troop[s] they would not look like they do."
But others are skeptical that roll call is even worth their time.
"We had them every Thursday, but it was the same redundant crap since they sent it thru emails what they were going to talk about anyways," Sam Roman said. "Sometimes the meeting hindered us more than helped us. If you are in a [24-hour] ops that never closes, the roll call becomes useless."
"Gathering people for roll call doesn't institute a culture of caring," Alexsa Billups said. "My people know I care about them because I know what their issues are and I follow up individually with them. If a roll call is about shop talk, we are missing the intent put forth in the message. We will see ... "

I picked up a copy of "How to Grill" a while back. I wanted to move past basic burgers and hotdogs. I must say, the book is great. Steve does a great job of telling not just the recipes, but the "how-to's" and the "why's" behind the recipe. Also, the pictures are great.
I have done quite a few recipes and all have turned out great. (my beef ribs using the Kansas City recipe are still a little dry, but I am working on that... ) I did the roast leg of lamb provencal over Christmas. My family could not say enough good things about it.
I catch your shows on PBS whenever they are available.
Thanks Steve!!

Fairfax County Recognizes Outstanding Employees
At the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors meeting today, the Fairfax County Employees Advisory Council (EAC) presented the 2007 Don Smith EAC Award to two county employees. The award recognizes individual county employees who have contributed in an outstanding manner to the well-being of fellow employees. The winners receive an engraved plaque and a small cash award from the council.
The 2007 Don Smith EAC Award winners are:
Paul Carlin, Fire and Rescue Department, for being a caring
and considerate fellow employee. He is well known in his department as
the go-to person when something needs to be fabricated, repaired,
acquired or done. He has been described as the epitome of support and
an inspiration to all, on and off the job, 24/7.
- Lt. Timothy Hoover, Police Department, for his performance outside of his regular job duties as both an officer and supervisor. He made himself available on and off the job to staff under his supervision after the 2006 attack on the Sully District Police Station and is always available for moral support for ailing family members. He is a major force in his department's support network.
In addition, two employees received honorable mention awards:
- Jeffrey Davidson, Department of Public Safety Communications (DPSC)
Maj. Edwin Roessler Jr., Police Department.
Davidson was recognized for his volunteer work with the DPSC Peer Support Team, assisting new employees dealing with job stresses at the 9-1-1 Call Center. Roessler was recognized for his inspirational commitment to fellow employees, their families and the community. He is donating his cash award to the Law Enforcement Relief Fund.
Six other Fairfax County employees who were nominated received certificates of recognition:

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Most of us go through our daily lives with fairly fixed routines. We get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, and drive to work the same way every day. This isn't necessarily bad because it allows our brains to slowly speed up to meet the day, but it also doesn't give our brains any exercise. Since these routine tasks are carried out almost subconsciously, the brain uses almost no energy and makes no new associations or neural connections.
Even activities like doing the laundry or walking the dog can be so routine that you hardly even think about doing them. Each activity is a chance to give your brain some exercise and get it actually thinking. Try to add some surprise or novelty into daily activities. For example, drive to work using a different route. This will prevent you from going on auto-pilot and getting to work without thinking about how you got there. The new path will provide new and interesting things to see which will stimulate your mind and make new associations.

Well it really depends on what you are looking to achieve. In general there are three styles of doing the sauce, or so they say. Of course there are thousands of other variations using fruits and other goodies....
The memphis (sweet), carolinian(vinagry), and the Texas (which is a combo of both).
I too have been experimenting with creating my own signature sauces--still have not found the right blend yet. What I did do is take three recipes, one for each category and start playing with them.
As previously mentioned sauce and rubs are the hard part of development.

Operation: Automobile-EctomyLanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Six words have had their automobiles removed. The automobiles have been placed into Group A. The remaining letters of each word have been placed into Group B. Your task is to reconstitute the words by merging each automobile with the proper set of letters. Other than merging the two groups together, there is no rearranging of the letters. Example: sand + pne = spanned (SpANneD).
Group A: bus, cab, car, sedan, truck, van
Group B: deit, ditto, eqet, hmer, tafstess, unble
Answerbus + eqet = bequest (BeqUeSt)
cab + hmer = chamber (ChAmBer)
car + ditto = dictator (diCtAtoR)
sedan + tafstess = steadfastness (StEaDfAstNess)
truck + unble = turnbuckle (TuRnbUCKle)
van + deit = deviant (deViANt)

Rambus And NVIDIA Bury The Hatchet, Sign 5 Year Agreementby Ryan Smith on 2/9/2012 10:53 AM EST

ananduser - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - link...if only Apple took a page from Rambus' experience. Reply
tayb - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkI would not. Why would I want to license my patented technology to a competitor? I would rather be the sole offering in the market and send them back to the drawing board.
Of course, regulatory boards would probably step in and stop me... but I would not do it willingly. And if you were the owner of a business I doubt you would either. Reply
Exodite - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkThis is why we can't have nice things. Reply
tayb - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkWe can't have nice things because I fronted the research costs and would like some semblance of exclusivity on a market I essentially created? You are more than welcome to bring a competing offering but abusing my research costs, launching a competing offering at a lower price (because you don't have research costs to recoup), and then hoping I'll settle for an insignificant licensing fee at a later date is not at all fair in my opinion. Reply
FaaR - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkWhat exactly is it you claim Rambus researched? It's been well established pretty much all they've sued people over is stuff presented in open standards talks that they've snuck out the back door, patented and backdated to a previous patent, then surprised everyone else with. Reply
tayb - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkThis is more of an hypothetical than a real world take on the Apple or Rambus situation. I don't really know enough about either of those suits and the patents involved to have a meaningful dialogue. I'm speaking in generalities here. Reply
Belard - Monday, February 13, 2012 - linkThen why make the previous response?
RAMBUS is a patent troll. They done minimal research and then screwed everyone.
Hatchet belongs in rambus dead body. Reply
dcollins - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkYou're right in concept. The only problem is that patents are granted for far too long. If you invented some awesome technology, you should be the first to bring your product to market, but you do not deserve to own that market forever. Technology patents should expire in at most 5 years, probably 3 years. Reply
tayb - Friday, February 10, 2012 - linkI think it should be 5 years for the patent and then it enters a FRAND-esque state for 4 more years and then it is considered "prior art" and anyone can use it. Reply
Penti - Monday, February 13, 2012 - linkTechnology doesn't really work like that, either you supply your research to a standards-body and get some cash as well as some awsome products out or your just out of the game with proprietary tech nobody uses and avoids because they can only turn to one player, one supplier which overchage and has no capacity. Regulation doesn't really need to come into play at all.
Plenty of tech is used royalty and claims free for years then you get players like Microsoft turning up some 8 years after it's on the market and saying they want money. It won't work in the long run. Ultimately it will turn people away from stuff that aren't clearly licensed by a standards body and it will take forever to change anything. Reply
B3an - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkHi there, i work for Apple.
You have used the letter "i"' far too much in your comment. Your IP has been tracked and we will be taking you to court. If you are not aware, we invented the letter "i" and own a patent on it.
@Anand, this site has rounded corners on a few of the buttons. We own a patent on rounded corners. We also invented them. If you remember everything before the 1980's was actually square until we brought forth this original innovation. Please correct these rounded corners within 15 days. Reply
retrospooty - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkLOL... Dont for get that Apple also patented the shape of a rectangle, as well as the colors black and white. Reply
FITCamaro - Friday, February 10, 2012 - linkApple shouldn't even be able to get people to pay for licensing since most of their patents are invalid to anyone with a clue. Many of their patents have instances of prior art that they just did first on a mobile phone. Doesn't make it their invention though. Reply
chizow - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkFirst the favorable settlement with Intel over chipset licensing/GPU IP and now a presumably favorable settlement with Rambus. That takes care of the two major legal matters Nvidia has dealt with over the last few years and it sounds as if they got more favorable terms in both cases. Reply
minijedimaster - Thursday, February 09, 2012 - linkWhy settle at all? RAMBUS deserves nothing but a quick and painful death in the market. I would have appealed all loses in court since their patents were nulled by the Patent office and bankrupted them to oblivion. That way real innovation could continue in the market place without company's worrying about some idiot company coming along and "creating" a patent and suing them. Reply
mevans336 - Friday, February 10, 2012 - link... and this is why you don't run a Fortune 500 company.
It's not about principles, it's about the dollar. Reply
chizow - Friday, February 10, 2012 - linkYeah while I strongly dislike Rambus and their actions over the last decade or so, I think it was smart for Nvidia to just settle at presumably much more favorable terms so they can get back to business as usual.
Looming litigation and any similar uncertainty is just bad for business, so the sooner they put it behind them the better. Plus it gets expensive. Nvidia is big enough to not get pushed around but unlike Intel with endlessly deep pockets or Rambus that lives in the courtroom, Nvidia would probably prefer to spend its resources on its business rather than on legal bills. Reply
Wolfpup - Friday, February 10, 2012 - linkYeah, I totally agree. RAMBUS needs to die, their only real "product" being fraud.
I'm assuming this is just Nvidia saying "this is cheaper than continuing to fight" even though they're presumably in the right. Bad thing is RAMBUS gets even more money to continue "operations", such as they are. Reply
RamarC - Sunday, February 12, 2012 - linkSHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!

NetSketch - Collaborative Drawing for the iPhone and iPod Touch
There are a lot of iPod Touch and iPhone apps now. And, of course, there are inevitably a good number of drawing apps. My favorite so far is NetSketch, not necessarily for its ability to share the sketches you make with others, but for its color and brush choice (though I honestly wish I had a lot more brush choices), and for its zoomability, and because it saves everything not as raster images, but as curves. And you can convert your finished drawings to eps files for messing with in Illustrator (or some other eps-able software). Neato. Though I'm still holding my breath for something just a tad more painterly, this one is doing right by me for the time being.

Surrey have started their Home Counties League programme with one win and one defeat.
They started the campaign with an encouraging 132-95 victory over Middlesex, with the rink of Bernie Pedersen (Tongham), Paul Coleman (Cheam), Ian Ross (Wallington) and Surrey captain Ian Honnor (Weybridge) winning their rink 30-7, as Surrey took 18 points and Middlesex four.
Team manager Dave Candeland said: "The atmosphere was very good with the players tackling their task very quickly and pressurising their opponents."
Rink 1: Surrey: Colin Boozer, Richard Cushen, Joe Cable, Mick Sigamoney 16. Middlesex: John Sinclair 14. 2: Alan Gover, Gareth Morgan, Paul Chuter, Eamon Nolan 19 Tony Waller 20. 3: Bernie Pederesen, Paul Coleman, Ian Ross, Ian Honnor 30 Norman Worley 7. 4: Deric Homes, Steve Cooke, Tim Orr, Lee Dickson 18 Ernie Rudston 30. 5: Andy Bullen, Simon Greenwood, Nathan Beeson, Eamon O'Flynn 29 John Greeves 9. 6: Tony Downs, Andrew Boarer, Jeff O'Leary, Graham Vigor 20 Andy Knott 15.
However, the impressive start came unstuck with a 125-97 defeat to Oxfordshire at Oxford City & County Bowls Club.
The hosts fielded eight back-end bowlers from their last Middleton Cup match and, although the counties won three rinks each, Surrey took just six points to Oxfordshire's 16.
Rink 1: Oxfordshire: M Charlett 30, Surrey: Charlie Souter, Keith Searle, Dave Clark, Nathan Beeson 21. 2: I Snowdon 14 Mick Gray, John Tucker, Joe Cable, Tim Orr 22. 3: C Nicoll 20 Chris Jones, Paul Chuter, Gareth Morgan, Ian Ross 11. 4: NR Welsh 19 Deric Homes, Richard Cushen, Paul Vamvacopoulos, Mick Sigamoney 20.
5: George Moon 15 Phil Burge, Andrew Boarer, Lee Dickson, Eamon O'Flynn 16. 6: Alan Ley 27 Colin Popple, Mike Appleford, Graham Robinson, Martin Sampson 7.
Surrey's best rink consisted of Mick Gray (Cheam), John Tucker & Joe Cable (both Purley Bury) and Tim Orr (Mid-Surrey).
Surrey's next Home Counties League match is at Kent in early July.
There was also a shock defeat for Surrey in their first home county friendly with the Isle of Wight at Farnham BC.
Surrey were beaten on four of the six rinks and their best quartet were senior vice-president Tony Bourne (Purley Bury), Robin Taylor (Windlesham), Derek Harvey (Purley) and David Candeland (Shirley Park). Over the last six years the matches between these two counties have been shared with three wins each but Surrey do not usually lose a county match at home. Two matches next week, on Tuesday against Hertfordshire (Away) and Thursday against Sussex (Home) when Surrey hope to return to winning ways.
Surrey 112 Bowls Isle of Wight 113.
Rink 1: Surrey: Bob Archer, Dennis Williams, Billy Banks, Jim Mason 10, Isle of Wight: Colin Vines 21, 2: Tony Bourne, Robin Taylor, Derek Harvey, David Candeland 30 Roy Smith 9. 3: Peter Duncan, Ken Parker, Mike Smith, Martin Sampson 16 Barry Rodwell 19. 4: Errol Kum, Tony Clark, Dave Botting, Ian Ross 19 Tony King 22. 5: Dave Hussey, Terry James, Terry Cannon, Paul Chuter 14 Derek Stevens 2. 6: Deric Homes, Michael Rejman, Tony Plater, Joe Cable 23 Fred Sly 22.
Surrey have a home friendly with Norfolk at Purley Bury on Tuesday, June 14 (2pm).

Chairman's Statement on Governor's Promise to Undo Proposed Freeze of Local Composite Index
Feb. 8, 2010
News Highlights
Governor Bob McDonnell announced today that he will support updating the Local Composite Index (LCI), the formula that determines state and local education funding responsibility in the upcoming budget.
"Governor McDonnell's announcement to undo the freeze on the LCI is great news for our schools," said Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova. "Northern Virginia has been seriously affected by this severe economic downturn, making us eligible for a higher share of state funding. The proposed freeze has been an enormous fairness issue and I am very pleased that the governor has taken this position."
Details on the governor's announcement can be found online.

A seminar should be
offered to all parents who are contemplating having a second child.
There are certain things you ought to know about the reality of the
situation that no one bothers to tell you — probably because these
things are already obvious to any rational adult. But, you're not a
rational adult, are you, Prospective Second-Time Parent? You left
rationality behind the moment you started thinking, "Aw, baaaabies!"
instead of, "Ack! Babies!" when confronted with a newborn. Every new
parent goes through a period where the exhaustion and stress of caring
for an infant is still so fresh in their minds that the thought of ever
having another baby is absolutely abhorrant. Eventually, as your child
gets older and your routine regains some sense of normalcy, you start to
forget about the time when showering was a luxury only afforded to you
every four days and you regularly pushed the boundaries of how many days
without sleep constitutes legal insanity.
Lesson One is guided
imagery. Someone sits you down and repeats the following phrase over and
over until you have a panic attack: "Remember what it was like when
your child was a newborn? Now, imagine that, but you still have another
Lesson Two: At some point your older child will try to off
the baby. There may be a honeymoon period where they are enjoying the
role of older sibling and the baby is a novelty, but that will
eventually run out and you will be left dealing with mysteriously
overturned baby furniture and a squalling infant.
Lesson Three:
Your routine is garbage. This is a physical test. You are presented with
a messy house. You must attempt to clean it, one-handed, holding a
screaming baby while another child follows in your wake, destroying
everything you've accomplished like a three-foot-tall tornado.
Four: You must cut yourself some slack. You won't be able to do
everything and things will fall through the cracks. Last night, I fed my
toddler frozen waffles for dinner. That's it. Just frozen waffles. He
didn't even want syrup, so he just ended up with two buttered Eggos. I
chucked him a gummy vitamin to compensate, but I'm still mildly
concerned that he's going to end up with rickets.
Super Mom, I am
not, but with a three year-old and a two month-old to contend with, I'll
settle for Adequate Mom. Do I get a cape?

A GARAGE mechanic who pranged one of the world's leading super-cars during a routine MOT has apologised for the accident.
Andrew Mitchinson, 37, said he was taking the silver Lamborghini Murcielago, which cost its owner £220,000, for a short drive through Staveley when the accident happened.
Due to a combination of wet road, leaves, and the two-seater vehicle's 'featherweight' accelerator, Andrew said he accidentally clipped a kerb, spun and collided with a parked Ford Focus, damaging both vehicles.
The head-turning 630 brake horsepower Italian-made beauty, of which just over 4,000 were made, has just 24,500 miles on the clock.
It belongs to business-man and Lakes hotelier Stephen Leahy, 46, from Greater Manchester, who described it as 'my beautiful, beautiful car.' Mr Leahy had booked it in to the Station Garage, owned by Mr Mitchinson's father Alan, and believes the accident has now seriously damaged the car's potential sell-on value.
- ABOVE: CCTV footage shows the crash take place.
He said it has affected its provenance, the unique identity, and guarantee that it has not been seriously damaged, that other buyers would be looking for.
However, Andrew put the damage at around £20,000 and said he believed the car was worth around £95,000 on the open market.
A policeman is understood to have been walking through the village at around the time of the accident and was quickly on the scene.
"I was in second gear just going up the road to try the brakes. I don't honestly know what happened. I wouldn't have been doing more than 25-30mph - if that.
"It was unreal.
"I was gutted because I knew it was an expensive car," said Andrew.
His father, Alan, said: "It is the first time he's had an accident in a customer's car and he's been here 20 years. He has driven thousands, from Ferraris to Aston Martins.
"With the Lamborghini being a four-wheel drive, it has to be road tested to test the efficiency of the brakes.
"You can't put it through the rolling road brake tester here because it would damage it."
Alan said his son was insured to drive the vehicle, and that all the cars the garage took out were fully insured.
Alan added: "My insurance company is aware of what cars we deal with here, and have been on the phone. I'd expect my premium to go up a bit now."
A Cumbria Police spokeswoman said the incident was reported to them at 11.56am on November 6 by the owner of the Ford Focus, who found the garage's insurance details on its windscreen.
The spokeswoman confirmed the Lamborghini was involved in a collision with a stationary Ford Focus, and that inquiries were on-going into the incident, and that no-one had been arrested or charged.

You might need to sand the choil/neck and spine area a little to relieve the corners a bit, but it only takes a few minutes w/a couple of thin strips of 220 sandpaper. It's a great performer and the price is great as well.
