The well-being of children and grandchildren now ranks as the top personal financial concern of Millionaire investors, according to Millionaire Corner research. How does this growing worry shape the financial planning strategies of these wealthy investors?
More than two-thirds (68 percent) of Millionaires surveyed over the first quarter of 2012 said they were worried about the financial situations of their children and grandchildren, up from 57 percent a year earlier. Nearly two-in-five identify the educational costs of their grandchildren as a concern, up from 30 percent last year. (Millionaire Corner research shows that one of every five affluent retirees is helping a grandchild through college.)
Wedding costs are also likely to affect the financial planning strategies of Millionaires investors, who have a net worth of $1 million to $5 million, not including primary residence. Nearly 48 percent of Millionaires have helped pay for a child's or grandchild's wedding in the past, and more than 40 percent plan to do so in the future, according to a survey conducted by Millionaire Corner in May. (Millionaires help pay for weddings, even though the vast majority believes they've become too lavish, according to our research.)
These college and wedding costs – as well as other expenses – are hitting later in life for most Millionaires and, as a result, complicate their financial planning strategies and cash flow in retirement. More than 80 percent of these affluent investors are older than 55, and the vast majority is retired or semi-retired.
Given their age, retirement status and family concerns, the financial planning strategies of millionaires are most heavily influenced by the desire to minimize investment risk. Millionaires rank risk as the most important investment selection criteria (92 percent), followed by the closely related factor of diversification (91 percent), according to our first quarter study. Nearly half (49 percent) says it's more important to preserve wealth than grow assets in the current economic environment.
Millionaires also express growing concerns over the prolonged economic downturn, and rank the economy as their top national concern. Our research indicates issues such as the federal deficit and European debt crisis also influences Millionaires to adopt more conservative financial planning strategies.

Australia has dropped one place in a world ranking of nations' competitiveness after local executives nominated rising costs and slipping workplace efficiency as factors making business conditions difficult.
The Global Competitiveness Report produced by the World Economic Forum released on Wednesday found Australia was ranked 21st out of 148 countries for 2013-14, down one place from last year.
The ranking placed Australia 135th for the flexibility of wage determination, down from 123rd last year and 128th for the burden of government regulation, down from 96th last year.
It was ranked 113th for pay and productivity, down from 80th last year and 109th for the total tax rate, down from 106th last year.
But Australia did well in other areas, particularly first place for secondary education enrolment rates, first in the legal rights, second for the number of days to start a business, third for the number of procedures to start a business; and eighth for the quality of scientific research institutions.
Innes Willox, chief executive of The Australian Industry Group which was responsible for conducting the executive opinion survey in Australia, said 17.3 per cent of respondents saw restrictive labour regulations as the top difficulty in doing business in Australia.
"These results highlight the high cost of doing business in Australia and the pressing need to improve key areas including industrial relations, business regulation and company tax in order to lift our international competitiveness," Mr Willox said.

Whitmore Lake is an unincorporated community in the U.S. state of Michigan. The community spans the boundary between Green Oak Township in Livingston County and Northfield Township in Washtenaw County. The United States Census Bureau has defined a census-designated place (CDP) with this name for statistical purposes, which has no legal status as an incorporated municipality. The population was 6,423 at the 2010 census.
The Whitmore Lake post office, with ZIP code 48189, serves a larger area than that defined by the CDP and includes portions of southeast Hamburg Township, northeastern Webster Township, and larger parts of Green Oak and Northfield Townships than are included in the CDP.
The Whitmore Lake was named by Jonathan F. Stratton, a surveyor, after Luke H. Whitmore, a local landowner around 1825. Area residents have considered incorporation many times, but have not chosen to do so yet.
The well-known 8 Mile Road that forms the boundary between the city of Detroit and Detroit's northern suburbs in Oakland and Macomb counties ends in Whitmore Lake, along with 5 Mile, 6 Mile, 7 Mile, and 9 Mile Roads.

The images captured on the security cameras of the Zaher family on Beitunia's main street last Thursday struck a nerve in Israeli society. The apathy that characterizes Israeli journalism on everything having to do with Palestinians may remain, but the footage, released on Tuesday, did clear some room for a renewed debate about the morality, or lack thereof, of the IDF and other security forces operating in the territories.
Is it possible that an IDF soldier or Border Policeman shot two young Palestinians last week for no reason?
The footage from the security cameras shows, it seems, Mohammed Abu Dhaher and Nadim Nawara being shot and killed while not doing anything suspicious or posing any threat. They weren't even throwing stones.
Since the incident, and primarily since the footage was released, many claims have been heard from Israelis expressing doubt about the reliability of the clips. Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, most prominently, dismissed the footage's credibility before he had even seen it, saying he knew "the system" of discrediting Israel via such films. He was alluding in part to "Pallywood" staged footage of purported Palestinian victims filmed during the Second Intifada.
Some of the claims made by anonymous sources in the defense establishment to discredit the footage sound ridiculous, others quite reasonable.
For example, one of the senior officers who briefed Israeli journalists hinted that the small number of participants in the funerals and demonstrations afterward indicate that perhaps the two were not killed at all.
This is nonsense. We are talking about two teens living in relatively small villages north of Ramallah, and it makes perfect sense that they had small funerals.
And while it is true that demonstrations across the West Bank on the day of the funerals last Friday were relatively small, that can be explained by the current level of Palestinian apathy to what is happening on the ground.
The claim that one of the casualties braces himself before he falls doesn't dent the credibility of the footage for this reporter. Unlike Hollywood movies, in real life someone who is shot doesn't always fall at once, and will often limp before he hits the ground, or will even kneel on the ground before finally collapsing.
The suggestion that the two victims in the film are not the slain teens also sounds less than serious. Whoever has watched the entire tape can see clearly that no one else is hit besides the two killed and two others injured. And the two who appear in the film can also be seen in stills and other clips as the two slain teens.
But one point still sounds valid. Someone hit in his chest by a rifle bullet will usually fall backward, but in the footage, falls forward, as though shot in the back.
Is the film fabricated? On Wednesday I spoke with Faher Zaher, owner of the house where the security cameras were affixed. This is not a terrorist leader with an overt anti-Israel agenda. Zaher, who speaks Hebrew fluently, said that as a businessman, he installed the cameras to prevent break-ins. He also explained how the incident last week unfolded, and how the four gunshots of live ammunition from the Israeli side were clearly heard by the Palestinians. His testimony sounded reliable.
According to the version of the soldiers and Border Policemen who operated in the area, they refrained from using live ammunition on demonstrators during Nakba Day. This came from the unequivocal order from Central Command headquarters that they were not to use live ammunition unless their lives were clearly at risk.
A report from the government hospital in Ramallah, however, determined that the two slain teens, and the two others injured, were hit by live fire.
Could it be that some Border Policemen or IDF soldiers failed to report using live fire on youths who were throwing stones at them a minute or two before? It is possible that they lied?
It is preferable to wait for the end of the investigation before we jump to far-reaching conclusions. And it might be better for those anonymous IDF officers, who gave such a wealth of explanations to the press, to wait for the investigation, as well.

Maiden Royal Princess 'Grand Mediterranean' from Barcelona to Venice: Royal Princess Cruise Review by Lindaras
Overall Member Rating
Maiden Royal Princess 'Grand Mediterranean' from Barcelona to Venice
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
Stateroom B414 (mini-suite, mid ship under Sea Walk on port side): The staterooms under the Sea Walk have as much as twice the balcony space as most other staterooms. There is plenty of room for two reclining chairs, two ottomans, and a large table, with no lack of privacy at all from sea walk above, except when standing at railing. In addition to the extra space, you have the advantage of looking down to the sea instead of to lifeboats. I would definitely book a room under the Sea Walk again. You should know, however, that a soft blue light from the Sea Walk does illuminate the balcony at night. It's not bright, but to keep the room absolutely dark for sleeping, one must pull the draperies closed. If you don't mind the soft light, it's sort of like having a night light. We liked the curtain between the 'bedroom' and the living area that allowed More one of us to sleep while the other was awake in the living area.
Beds: a little firm, lovely pillows and bedding. No sheet, just a duvet for the top cover. Perhaps one can request a sheet. We just turned down the thermostat at night so we wouldn't be too hot.
Bathroom: very nice. The mini-suite has both tub and personal shower, and there are grab bars where you need them. The shower pressure is adequate. The hair dryer in our mini-suite was in the top drawer of the desk/vanity. The button the turns it on must be HELD down or it turns off. I wrapped duct tape around it to hold it down, and that made it much easier for my arthritic hands to manage.
Elevators: There is NO CENTRAL STAIRWAY. Our cabin was closest to the central elevator bank, and the elevators get crowded at times when everyone is going in the same direction. It can be frustrating when elevator after elevator opens to reveal no additional space. Some people cram themselves in anyway, and that's unpleasant for the people already on board. It made me rethink my "midship strategy". It might be better to be closer to the top or bottom if one is planning to use elevators. Fore and aft elevators have stairs as well, so if you are capable, you have the option to take the stairs from those locations.
Closet: Ample space and plenty of hangers (the nice wooden kind that aren't attached to the rod. I requested more skirt hangers, as we only got 6 of those for the two of us. Someone showed up with a dozen or so more.
Laundry: Baha deck had two washers and two dryers, and some apparently have four washers and four dryers (Aloha, for example). There were also two steam irons and two ironing boards: one for left handers and one for right handers. Our little laundry got pretty crowded at times.
Service: Overall, very good. One or two minor glitches. There was one day when we had to ask for toilet paper, even after they had made up the room. Another annoyance is that if you order a beer anywhere in an open deck area, it comes with a plastic tumbler. The beer, mind you, comes in a glass bottle, but for some idiotic reason, beer GLASSES are not allowed for safety reasons. Well, if you put up a little fuss, a cold glass can sometimes be produced, but really, should you have to? In the dining rooms it's not a problem, but in the Horizon Court, the beer comes from an "open" bar, so, again, plastic. BTW, I was very pleasantly surprised that the ship carries Blue Moon, my favorite beverage.
Excursions: The only Princess excursion I booked was for a full day in Istanbul, and that was a 20-person, all-day tour of Istanbul. It was fine, and we were especially impressed with how well the Princess staff organized getting us into groups of 20, off the ship and onto buses. The Bosphorous lunch cruise was especially pleasant, and for this reason we were happy to have booked that tour. For the other ports, we either did our own thing or joined a small private tour through the roll call on Cruise Critic. We were quite pleased with those tours and would definitely do that again.
Coffee: I am a coffee lover, and I am not too cheap to buy the coffee card, which gives you unlimited brewed coffee, I believe. I just don't want to have to get dressed and leave the room to get my first cup in the morning. So I brought with me the equipment needed to make a cup of coffee in the room: a small metal pitcher and coil for heating water, my Mellita cone and filter, an insulated coffee mug, and my favorite coffee. That worked nicely to make a single cup. I also tried writing "hot water" on my breakfast order form, and the water came in an insulated carafe. I had wondered if it would be hot enough to make coffee, and it was. But the best news is that the coffee aboad Royal Princess is much better than the syrup-based stuff I had on my Princess cruise to Alaska three years ago. The coil heater, BTW, is technically not allowed. Our stateroom attendant advised us to keep it in a drawer, which we did.
Internet: Adequate enough for email , web browsing, and Facebook. Not so much for other things like uploading photos. Terribly expensive, and every time I logged on for a couple of minutes, I seemed to get charged for about 10.
Electrical outlets: Our mini-suite had one European style (3 round holes in a row) outlet behind the bed for the bedside lamp. It also had one US style outlet at each end of the desk/vanity and one 3-holer at one end of the desk/vanity. With European to US adpter and a US extension cord, we got two extra US outlets at the bed side. We also brought a US power strip, which gave us several outlets at the desk for charging all of our devices.
Entertainment: We enjoyed the experience of watching "Les Mis" under the stars. Once they got the sound and picture in sync (!), the only problem was that some people chose to talk instead of listen, and they didn't seem to care that they were bothering the rest of us. We went to one show in the theater, "Colors of the World", and that was good, but we didn't participate in any events, classes, etc. But there certainly seem to be plenty of activities for those who are so inclined.
News: ESPN, BBC World News, FOX, CNBC. But no source really for plain old US news other than Internet, which is expensive. CNN would have been nice for that.
In summary, a comfortable, pleasant experience in many ways, but I'd still consider jumping ship for free wi-fi and/or cold beer. Less

The owners of Marana's Tower Theatres - the region's only independently owned first-run movie complex - are optimistic that their financial woes will be settled by the end of next month, heading off a scheduled foreclosure auction in May.
The company's lender, Bank of Arizona, filed a sale notice in February on the theaters, at 5755 W. Arizona Pavilions Drive.
The theaters remain open for business, however.
Listing an original principal balance of $5.3 million, the notice of trustee's sale says the property is set for auction at 10 a.m. May 26.
Two other sale notices filed the same day list properties belonging to the partners in Linda Vista Cinemas LLC, which owns Tower Theatres as well as Grand Cinemas, a second-run theater company with two Tucson locations.
Cutler Fire Protection, owned by Linda Vista Cinemas partners Dan and Linda Cutler, and a northwest-side property belonging to Linda Vista partner Kent Edwards and his wife, Angela Edwards, are scheduled for auction at the same time as the theaters.
All three sale notices say Kent Edwards and the Cutlers have been delinquent on payments since November.
Bank of Arizona's filing of the sale notices was a necessary part of the process toward renegotiating the company's debt, Edwards said in an interview. The Cutlers are traveling and could not be reached for comment.
Bank of Arizona is a good lender, Edwards said.
"We're trying to renegotiate with our bank, and their filing a foreclosure notice is just part of the process, the procedure, because we did go into default," he said. "We're very confident that we will be able to work something out with our lender."
The company expects the whole issue to be resolved sometime in April, he said, and customers shouldn't notice any difference during the process.
"This is just something that's procedural, and unfortunately because it's a public record, everyone's going to know about it," Edwards said.
Renegotiating before the auction is a reasonable hope, said Karie Bible, a box-office analyst with Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc., a Los Angeles-based industry-research firm.
"It's a hard time for independent theaters," she said. "If it's a multiplex, it definitely stands a better chance. People still go to the movies a lot, even during the recession."
Tower Theatres has 12 screens. Edwards said customers shouldn't notice any change while the financial details are worked out in the coming weeks.
"Our business is growing, and we've done real well," he said. "We're having a record year right now. I feel very confident we'll be able to work something out."

From a media release:
Jian Ghomeshi's debut book 1982 launches September 18, 2012
Toronto, ON – Jian Ghomeshi, host and co-creator of CBC's national daily arts and culture program Q, releases his debut literary memoir 1982 on Tuesday, September 18. At turns, both hilarious and poignant, the book chronicles a 14-year-old Ghomeshi's desire to be David Bowie, much to the confusion and alarm of his Iranian parents. Intent on becoming a New Waver to capture the heart of his ideal (older) woman, Wendy, Ghomeshi's coming of age story also serves as a cultural and musical history of the early eighties.
"[1982 is] a testament to the molten nature of teenage identity that's smart, funny and engaging from start to finish," said Douglas Coupland, best-selling Canadian author (Generation X: Tales of An Accelrated Culture).
Recently selected by The Globe and Mail as one of the fall's 15 must-read non-fiction titles, Ghomeshi explores young love, heartache, conformity and the nature of cool, within a loose chronological narrative that is both wryly funny and moving. Set in Thornhill, Ontario, to the soundtrack of 1980s glam rock, the book also serves as a cultural history of Canadian suburbia and the challenges of fitting in as a young Persian-Canadian.
"If you're interested in learning about the desperate attempts of a suburban brown-ish boy with a large nose to emulate his white New Wave hero with limited results you've come to the right place!," said Ghomeshi with a smile. "The teenage version of me was slightly more neurotic and featured more purple eyeliner. But at least the soundtrack was convincing."
As host and co-creator of Q, on CBC Radio One and CBC TV, Ghomeshi shifts seamlessly from editorial essays to moderating debates on the air, mixing insight and opinion with unscripted wit. He has interviewed an array of prominent international figures from prime ministers to sports stars and cultural icons. His feature interview subjects on Q have included Woody Allen, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Salman Rushdie, Barbara Walters, Tom Waits, William Shatner, Jay-Z, Al Gore, Margaret Atwood, Billy Bob Thornton and – in a television world-exclusive – Leonard Cohen.
Since its inception in 2007, Q has garnered the largest audience of any cultural affairs program in Canada and has become the highest-rated show in its morning time slot in CBC history. Q is now broadcast on more than 120 stations across the United States, on PRI.
In June 2012 Jian was awarded the prestigious New York Festivals' international radio broadcasting gold medal for "Best Host." He was previously awarded the gold medal for "Talk Show Interview" of the year for his feature length world-exclusive with Leonard Cohen, in 2010. NOW Magazine named Jian "Best Media Personality" in TV or radio, in the fall of 2009.

Parents On Edge After Reynoldsburg Education Association Votes To Authorize Leadership To Call A Strike
There were some tense moments Wednesday after a security upgrade at a Reynoldsburg Elementary school left some teachers unable to use their key cards to enter the building.
The glitch in the security upgrade comes two days before scheduled contract talks between the Reynoldsburg Education Association and the Board of Education.
It also happened just as the company, the district hired to help in the event of a teachers strike, toured several schools.
It happened Wednesday morning at Taylor Road Elementary School and the events sent a wave of panic throughout the district and forced the principal to send a note home with students.
Dear Parents and Valued Stakeholders,
Some concerns have been expressed today about some staff members having issues using their key cards to gain access to the building. Learning about this I went out and tested my key to discover mine was having issues as well. After contacting the appropriate district-level officials, we were able to resolve this matter right away. This was nothing more than routine maintenance work on the system. Throughout recess, we as a staff worked together to ensure our children were able to get into the building. As always we at Taylor Road will continue to do what is best for our children to ensure they get the best education possible. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns.
Yours in education,
Jeremy Miller
Taylor Road
Parents have been on edge since the Reynoldsburg Education Association voted to authorize its leadership to call a strike.
The board approved a contract with Huffmaster - a company that calls itself a leader in providing strike management solutions.
The company has already placed ads in the Columbus area offering $175 dollars a day for replacement teachers and specialis
Huffmaster has been used in Ohio before.
The hired 250 substitutes when teachers in Strongsville went on strike.
Records show the the school district spent more than $1.1 million for the first two weeks of the teachers strike on services provided by Huffmaster Security.
The Reynoldsburg Education Association issued the following statement in response to Wednesday's events:
The Reynoldsburg Education Association's (REA) spokesperson, Kathy Evans, released the following statement on action taken by the Reynoldsburg Board of Education:
"Another day, another disappointing action taken by the administration. By taking unknown, unscreened outsiders from Huffmaster throughout our schools, and deactivating teachers' key cards at some buildings, it's clear that the Board's focus is on creating a confrontation with the teachers rather than working with us on a fair resolution to the contract that our students and the community deserve. We are preparing in earnest for the next bargaining session, and what happened today is not productive."
The Reynoldsburg Board of Education will meet to continue negotiations on Friday, September 5 at 4:00pm at the Columbus office of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). The two sides have been working with a federal mediator to resolve the collective bargaining agreement. This will be the first bargaining session since August 5, 2014. The teachers have started the school year with a contract that expired on July 31, 2014.

This year's show will feature the National Vegetable Society's annual national championships, the most prestigious event in the UK growers' calendar.
There are 1,000 vegetables set to be displayed, all vying for best in show and championship trophies.
The show will have approximately 2,000 animals, including a mob of six meerkats.
Their trainer Seb Miller MBE will accompany them and allow fans to get up close and personal with two of those that are trained.
As well as meerkats, Black Rock Llamas will take centre stage in the Symonds & Sampson Countryside Ring for the first time.
The group is the only llama display team in the UK and will take part in the UK's only Llama Puissance competition.
Riding on the success of Britain's Got Talent, the Bolddog FMX Display Team, pictured inset, are returning to act as the Main Ring's star attraction. Their display includes motorcross and motorcycle stunts involving flips and jumps. The Shopping Marquee will be offering interiors, fashion and craft ideas from Milinery by Misha to hand-embroidered cushion covers from Lizzie Searle of Norwich. This year's show will also have 90 different food options on offer for visits, with the Dorset Food Hall bigger and better than ever before.
It will boast 40 producers and many new names on the local Dorset food scene, including Downhouse Farm.
The show attracted more than 60,000 last year and show secretary Sam Mackenzie-Green hopes for a similar turnout.
Ms Mackenzie-Green said she was trying to avoid looking at the weather forecast.
She added: "I try not to because every time I do look it changes."
The show secretary, however, said organisers would be prepared for any eventuality.
She said: "We've got so much marquee coverage. There's plenty to do inside and outside.
"If it rains, there's still plenty going on."
Entries for homecraft classes at this year's event remain high.
Ms Mackenzie-Green added: "We've had 2,312 entries this year. I think it's growing every year. When I started we had 852 entries."
ADVANCE tickets for the Dorset County Show cost £12 for adults, with under 16s going free.
Tickets are available from Tourist Information Centres in Dorset and online at dorsetcountyshow.co.uk Tickets can be bought on the day at the gate for £15.
There will be a 'round robin' bus service operating through Dorchester on both days. The showground is approximately 20 minutes' walk from both South and West train stations.
If going by car, follow the yellow signs from the Dorchester bypass.

LaSalle Looking To Derail Unbeaten Shenendehowa in Class AA Semifinals
As expected, there are several key matchups as the Section II football tournament continues with semifinals on Friday night. In Class AA, unbeaten Shenendehowa will entertain LaSalle while CBA of Albany travels to Columbia.
"CBA is a very good team. Coach (Joe) Burke has done a great job over there. The kids play hard and have a lot of team speed. On our end, we need to continue to play hard and minimize the mistakes," said Columbia coach Craig Cavotta.
CBA (7-1) knocked off Schenectady, 40-0, in quarterfinal play. CBA coach Burke is very impressed with the Blue Devils.
"Columbia is very big and physical and they dominated the Liberty Division. They've won big and won some close ones, therefore prepared for all scenarios. We will need to stop the run. (Christopher) Smith has been spectacular all year 1,400 yards and 18 touchdowns. No one has had an answer for him. He has great balance, strength, deceptive speed. Quarterback (John) Stanley is talented and has a lot of yards as well. He's very dangerous and mix in their size and we will have our hands full. Their defense is very good as well," said Burke.
Smith has compiled 19 touchdowns and Stanley is also well aware of the end zone with eight scores. Columbia lost its first game against Shaker, 32-28, and won ever since.
Cameron Wynn is the pace-setter for the Brothers with 13 touchdowns and Cody Zappone has 10.
"Our kids have put together two very complete performances in a row against two quality opponents. Defense has caused eight turnovers and eight fourth down stops in the last two weeks. We have paid a great deal of attention to our assignments on defense. We will need to be able to run inside and out and mix in the pass. We must keep them (Columbia) off balance in order to advance. We have to continue to protect the football. We've done a great job all year. The special teams have been solid, only one big play and field changing plays," said Burke.
What could possibly be a high-scoring contest takes place at Clifton Park.
Shenendehowa enters the game with an 8-0 record after beating Shaker, 35-7. LaSalle is 5-3 and also racking up the points.
Senior back Tony Fusco has put together 20 touchdowns and his running mate Marcelino Christie is a big contributor with seven. Corey Acker's foot is also instrumental adding 30 PAT's and a field goal.
"This is the sixth time LaSalle has played Shen and we are 3-3 with them. We are not matched up very well physically, but we do have some speed and the highest scoring offense in Section 2 this year. We have not played real well on defense. We have returned seven kickoffs for TD's this year. We have never been real good at that either," said LaSalle head coach Al Rapp.
LaSalle has Kevin Koberger highlighting the offense with 13 scores, Gabe Smith has 10 touchdowns and Marc Carroll nine touchdowns. In the kicking game, Mitch Connolly has 38 PAT's and four field goals.
"Our qb Garrett Delory has thrown for 18 TDs and is 70 per cent on completions. We have good receivers in Gabe Smith, Kevin Koberger, Marc Carroll and Josh Landy. We are hoping our offense can answer when they have to. We will see how it goes from there. The (Tony) Fusco kid is the real deal and we have to slow him down," said Rapp.
The Class A semifinals feature two huge games as Burnt Hills goes to unbeaten Troy and Queensbury visits Amsterdam again.
"We are excited for the opportunity to host such a big game versus a quality opponent in Burnt Hills. They are an excellent team and very well-coached. I think both teams match up well, very solid offenses and both have very strong stingy defenses. The game could be decided by one or two big plays late in the game. We need to stay on par with our offense by protecting the football," said Troy head coach Jack Burger.
Troy has an 8-0 record and outscoring its opponents, 286-31. Daquan Holmes leads the Flying Horses with 11 touchdowns, Raheem Felder has eight and Maurice Green six.
Burnt Hills is looking for its sixth straight Super Bowl appearance and obviously has to get by a talented Flying Horses squad.
"They're (Troy) a great defensive team, very physical on both sides of the ball. They're very athletic and it's going to be a good challenge. We have to keep the field position. We've been able to throw and run. Our defense has played very well," said Burnt Hills head coach Matt Shell.
Thomas Ruppel is Burnt Hills' top scorer with 11 touchdowns. The Spartans only loss came to Amsterdam, 23-7.
"Last Friday (beat Mohonasen 47-6) I thought we played a complete game. The improvement has been there. Troy is very well coached. You have to be ready and be physical and play at a high level," said Shell.
Amsterdam is coming off a big 54-12 win over Lansingburgh where quarterback Vinny Sobkowich tossed six touchdown passes.
Brett Stanavich leads the Rugged Rams with nine touchdowns, Sobkowich has seven while kicker Tyler Rouse is a potent weapon with 32 PAT's and three field goals.
The first time around, Amsterdam beat Queensbury, 29-7 on opening night.
"We are looking forward to having another shot. Hopefully, we can be relatively error-free because Amsterdam is very good at taking advantage of other team's mistakes. Both teams seem inproved so it should be a good game," said Queensbury head coach John Irion.
The Spartans, which boast a strong running game, will have Nic Ketter and Evan Earle as the starting wingbacks, Nate Myers at fullback and Mike Hewitt at quarterback.
Ketter has reached the end zone 14 times.
In Class B, unbeaten Schalmont (8-0) will entertain Ravena (6-2) while Cobleskill-Richmondville (5-3) invades Albany Academy (6-2).
Alex Hildebrand stars for Schalmont with 17 touchdowns and teammate Devon Willis is right behind scoring 15 times. Quarterback Niko Nicoletti runs the offense.
"Ravena is very well-coached and will be well-prepared. It is going to be a classic defensive battle for both sides. Both of our defenses don't give up a lot of points and are very physical. They (Ravena) send a lot of pressure on defense which makes it tough to score on them," said Schalmont head coach Joe Whipple.
Carmen Grecco is Ravena's top offensive player with 11 touchdowns.
"Ravena is very big upfront and physical which possess a concern for any team. On the offensive side of the ball, they find ways to get it done. Their quarterback is very consistent throwing and when he gets out of the pocket, he makes plays. The Grecco kid has big game experience under his belt so I'm sure he is going to play his best this game. I think that whatever sides seniors' step up and play like it's their last game they will win. We need to score on each possession we have in order to win. If we don't, we could be in for a long game," said Whipple.
Ravena head coach Gary Vanderzee knows all about Schalmont and the formidable task that lies ahead.
"They (Schalmont) are the two-time defending champion with an in-Section 26-game winnig streak. That about says it all. They are very talented and diverse on both sides of the ball. Offensively, they have several threats and use them all. They are a multiple formation team that tries to put you in bad spots by formation. Defensively, they fly to the football and are good tacklers. They will be a formidable opponent for us," he said.
Section II leading scorer Conner Hartigan spearheads Albany Academy. Hartigan has scored 24 touchdowns so far. Last week, Albany Academy got the best of Hudson Falls, 27-6.
Dillon Greene paces Cobleskill-Richmondville with eight touchdowns.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/3/2011 (2356 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Information
A History, a Theory, a Flood
By James Gleick
Harper, 544 pages, $34
IN this fascinating -- if occasionally dense -- history, U.S. technology writer James Gleick explores the very lifeblood of our globalized and hyper-connected society.
By bringing to life the personalities and inventions that formed the foundations of what we call the Information Age, Gleick shows that this era actually has a longer history than most of us realize.
As a onetime science and technology columnist for The New York Times Magazine and a co-founder of an early Internet service, Gleick has had something of a front row seat for the digital revolution, and has been nominated for both the U.S. National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize.
From the origins of the "new science" of Chaos (1987) to the Faster (2000) pace of contemporary life to figuring out What Just Happened (2003) in the early Internet age, he has proven himself to be an eloquent chronicler of the most important ideas in science and technology. He is therefore ideally equipped to tackle perhaps the biggest idea of all: that the world around us (including ourselves) is made up of information in the form of codes and signals.
These signals are the primary focus of information theory, which holds that the actual content and meaning of messages -- not being an engineering problem -- should be left to other disciplines.
Gleick shows how the computer is only the most recent in a long tradition of information technologies that includes the ancient talking drums of Africa, the telegraph and the telephone. Much like Tom Standage did in his 2007 history of the telegraph, The Victorian Internet, Gleick shows how each progression in technology brings with it social anxieties and transformations, many of which are only now being fully realized.
It was anticipated, for example, that the telegraph would replace newspapers, and that people would use their telephones to listen to concerts. Now we casually access both (and much more) on our smartphones.
However ubiquitous and familiar our gadgets may be, Gleick reminds us that behind their appealing and gleaming surfaces lie an almost unimaginably complex universe of algorithms and codes. Those unacquainted with advanced mathematics will probably find some of his passages challenging.
Yet, much like the codes upon which the Information Age depends, The Information is, itself, rather bloodless: its enthusiasm for description and explanation is not matched by a desire to question or philosophize.
As two titles from 2010 revealed, there is still much to debate about the Google era. Nicholas Carr's cautionary The Shallows argued that the Web is rewiring our brains and crippling our ability to concentrate, while Jaron Lanier's You Are Not a Gadget observed that the "hive mind" of the Web threatens our sense of individuality, and of humanness itself.
By contrast, Gleick merely concludes that the Information Age is complex and messy (hard to dispute) and that, maybe, that's OK.
He may chide information theorists for their single-minded focus on signals, but in the end Gleick, too, leaves for others the search for meaning in the Information Age.

- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1-1/2 teaspoons shortening
- 1 chocolate crumb crust (8 inches)
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Spread over the bottom of pie crust. Top with raspberries and whipped topping. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 6-8 servings.

ONTARIO >> When Walmart opened the doors to its newest supercenter last week, it was looking to serve the communities in many different ways.
The new 190,000 square-foot-store, at 1333 N. Mountain Ave., not only provided residents with new shopping options, but a new partner in the community.
"We appreciate the support we have received from the community and we look forward to being a good neighbor," said Mario Guajardo, store manager. "We're excited to be here and be a part of the Ontario community."
For the 2013 fiscal year, Walmart donated $3.5 million to local charitable and civic organizations in the Inland Empire, including the city of Ontario, Second Harvest Food Bank and Ontario Salvation Army, said Wes Morris, market manager for Walmart.
"We're committed to taking care of this community," Morris said.
Walmart also donated more than 1.3 million pounds of food to relieve hunger in the Inland Empire.
As part of the grand opening ceremonies, the Walmart Foundation gave $8,000 in donations to a variety of organizations. The Walmart Foundation's State Giving Council awarded a $25,000 to the San Bernardino Community College District Entrepreneurship Institute
Walmart also gave to the following organizations:
Meals on Wheels Ontario – $1,000
Chaffey High School – $2,000
Kids Come First Clinic – $1,000
West End YMCA – Ontario/Montclair branch – $1,000
Ontario High School – $1,500
Girl Scouts – Ontario/Montclair Service Unit – $500
Kids Come First Community Health Center in Ontario was among several community organizations on Wednesday to receive a donation from the Walmart Foundation. The Ontario organization received $1,000.
"That will cover three kids for a year," said Beverly Speak
The health clinic was contacted by the Walmart Foundation informing them they had been selected for the donation.
Speak said the donation is important for Kids Come First because it not only helps raise their visibility in the community, it also gives the public a better understanding of what services they offer.
The goal of the organization is to gain more support by the local community, Speak said.
"Right now our campaign is to engage more of the local community rather than depending on government grants or outside foundations. Our local community is what's going to make us sustainable," Speak said.
"We look forward to serving and giving back to the community for many years to come," Guajardo said.

Study of Coastal Vulnerability Zone Based on Biophysics-Social-Economic Condition at North Java Coast Due to Climate Change (Studi Zonasi Kerentanan Kawasan Pesisir Berbasis Kondisi Biofisik-Sosial-Ekonomi Di Pantai Utara Jawa Akibat Perubahan Iklim)
Coastal regions and small islands are dynamic environments that are rich in natural living and non-living water resources. Intensity level coastal resource utilization rate may lead to some positive and negative impacts. The negative impact will result in the degradation of coastal environmental quality. Environmental degradation in coastal regions and small islands can come from outside and from within the coastal area itself. The main cause of which is the use of coastal space that had served the area with various activities such as fisheries, tourism, industry, mining, and transportation.
An estimated 21% of the world's population live in areas 30 km from the coastline. Growth of population living in coastal faster than the average world population growth include increased due to urbanization and the development of rapid coastal cities. At the same time, sea level rise caused by global warming or climate change also tends to increase the expected accelerating anthropogenic global warming. Research conducted in Indonesia indicate a trend of increasing water level in the North Jakarta coast of 0:57 cm/year based on the mean sea level (MSL) pasut the period 1925-2002 (Hadi et al, 2006; Radjawane et al, 2006). Sutisna et al (2002) indicate a sea level rise in Tanjung Priok, Semarang and Surabaya about 8 mm/year over a period of 18 years (1984-2002). Another impact of global warming on the coast is the increased intensity and frequency of tidal wave/extreme that can cause harm even brought the victim. Understanding of the direct impact of the biophysical aspects and impacts, especially in the field of advanced socio-economic communities due to sea level rise needs to be studied further.
This research tries to offer a more comprehensive approach to the development and management of coastal areas of anticipative, sustainable and continue. Previous of this classification is generally based on the coastal landscape and beaches cover much of biota or administrative zoning. An integrated study of the classification/zoning area based on the level of vulnerability of coastal areas based on biophysical conditions and dynamic coastal economy and social composition of coastal communities is needed. North Coast Region (Pantura) of Java is the object of this research is an area with consideration to population and development levels are high which has a strategic role as a transportation artery sea and land. Pantura a sloping beach configuration so vulnerable to sea level rise and high tide. Coastal cities that are selected based on its economic growth rate which represents the city of Jakarta coastal megacity, Semarang represents the medium coastal town and Pekalongan represent smaller one.
Outlines the methods used include statistical data processing and digital image processing as well as methods for decision making and interpretation of results. Spatial data will be displayed in the form of DEM (Digital Elevation Model). Conducted field visits to three locations, namely Jakarta, Semarang and Pekalongan for visits and interviews with coastal communities that will be conducted in September 2009. Data sea level rise obtained from the literature and secondary data. Biophysical indicators such as data on geology, morphology, increases in relative sea level, erosion and accretion, tidal, wave height and maximum water elevation obtained from the literature, secondary data and maps are available. Determination of biophysical coastal vulnerability index (CVI = Coastal Vulnerabilty Index) by using the formulation developed by Gornitz (1997) and has been applied in the coastal United States. Determination zoning index based socio-economic parameters using the formulation Socio-Economic Vulnerability Index (SoVI) by Szlafsztein (2005). Both indices are averaged to get the price of Coastal Vulnerability Index Total. Superficial zoning based on the vulnerability index-overlay with land-use maps and DEM.
Model DIVA (Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Assessment), developed from the project DINAS-COAST, Dynamic and Interactive Assessment of National, Regional and Global Vulnerability of Coastal Zones to Climate Change and Sea-Level Rise, (Klein and Nicholl, 2001) is used to supplement the results above. The model used for dynamic and interactive study of coastal vulnerability to climate change scenarios and sea level rise.

She ended up with traumatic brain injury. I knew this walking into the room as I took three classes with in college, knew the full details of her case and even seen her MRIs. I swear to fucking god the defense lawyer said it should not impact the case and was not reason for dismissal.

Forget everything you may have known about Cusano's Cuvée Rouge and Cuvée 151 cigars. Since their introduction at last year's tobacco retailers trade show, production was halted and the original blends were scrapped.
Now, the new versions of the cigar brands are shipping to retailers with different components and, according to Mike Chiusano, co-owner of Cusano Cigars, better performance.
The Cuvée line was first introduced in November 2006 with the Cuvée Grand, which is a lancero. At the 2007 Retail Tobacco Dealers of America trade show, Cusano unveiled the Cuvée Blanc, Cuvée Rouge and Cuvée 151 lines.
The Blanc, which is a very light and fairly mild cigar, has remained on the market unchanged since its inception, retaining its Ecuadoran-shade-grown wrapper. The Rouge, however, was a much darker Dominican puro that had a short release to a few retail shops in the Northeast but was quickly pulled due to performance and flavor issues.
The new Cuvée Rouge is now available and has gone through some reblending. For starters, it is no longer a Dominican puro. The wrapper is now from Ecuador and, according to Cusano, there is Ecuadoran wrapper leaf in the filler as well.
Much darker than the Rouge, the Cuvée 151 promised to be the strongest of the Cuvée line with its near black Costa Rican wrapper, but the cigar never really made a retail debut. It was handed out on a sample basis, and was subsequently canceled because Chiusano was not satisfied with the quality.
The wrapper is now an equally dark Brazilian leaf.

The athlete had his legs amputated at the knee as an infant, but has become a hero for South Africa due to his ability to overcome obstacles and race in the Olympics. "He was an icon for South Africa," said Hennie Kotze, one of the coaches who worked with Pistorius at the London Olympics. "It was the way he handled his disability with such character and discipline. It is a big shock for everyone." Pistorius, 26, won two gold medals and a silver at last year's Paralympic Games in London, running on carbon-fiber blades and earning the nickname 'Blade Runner.'
Sarit Tomlinson, Steenkamp's publicist, told Sky News that the couple had a "healthy, fabulous relationship," and as an iconic couple in South African pop culture, no one wants to believe that Pistorius is a murder. Pistorius, also a known gun enthusiast, may have shot her by accident thinking she was an intruder, claim early reports. The Olympian has had false alarms with intruders before, and his model girlfriend could just have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. "The best case is that he shot her by mistake," said Hagen Engler, a journalist and friend of Steenkamp. "And that is a particularly South African mistake, that we are so paranoid you are ready to fire off bullets when you don't know is coming." Due to the violence that goes on in South Africa, it is not uncommon for households to keep guns.

I seriously hate guns. There is no reason to own a gun. 911 will get a gun dispatched wherever
it is needed. I own no guns, I have no shovels, and no desiccant.

Non-story. Someone said this last night after the video package, that the internet would go crazy about Sting returning. Sting is a major part of TNA programming right now, he was included simply because he is a former World Champion, not because WWE wants him to sign. I don't think so anyway.
Plus, if Sting wants to join WWE once he leaves TNA, all he has to do is say the word and he'd be signed on the spot.

Some theological speculations regarding the Heavenly Mother
Keeping in mind that these ruminations are purely speculative.
Keeping in mind that these ruminations are purely speculative.
G. tells us his muse is a goober. Mine is a crusty old retired Sith Lord.
The Junior Ganymede welcomes this guest post by Kent G. Budge.
My reaction to the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage has been decidedly mixed. By that I mean that I've experienced a broad range of emotions over it, none of them positive.
One emotion I haven't experienced is surprise. We all knew this was coming, and those few of us who professed optimism that the Court might yet rule in favor of the states, or at least rule very narrowly against the states, struck me as whistling furiously in the dark.
However, one emotion I have found myself experiencing, which I did not expect, is remorse.
The courts have found that there cannot possibly be any reason to deny gays the benefits of marriage that is not rooted in animus. Bigots on the Right claiming that there are rational arguments for the traditional view of marriage are just lying about their real motivations. Here's a quote to prove it:
It turns out that miscegenation laws and laws banning gay marriage have very little in common, after all.
His Majesty was wearing a sour face when he came out to breakfast this morning.
Because, apparently, others are happy to do it for them.
Freedom of conscience for me, but not for thee.
Will this turn-about be considered fair play?
The Mozilla Foundation has a new CEO. He was a co-founder of Mozilla, helped invent Javascript along with other notable achievements. But it is not for his technical qualification that the internet is in an uproar. It is because he donated to Prop. 8. Now there is an uproar, from both within the company and the general community at large, for him to step-down or renouce his former position.
Calls for diversity and openness do not extend to his position, which is only referred to as hateful and irrational.
Apparently free-love prioritizes sex over actual love.
Who knew?
What ho, what ho, what ho!
As a sagacious and experienced man of the world, I am often called on to render my two bits on the events of the day. In recent years one's interlocutors have been rather pressing on this matter of what is called, if I have the terms right, frolicsome marriage. One isn't au courant on all the details, of course, but begging pardon for any blushes mantling maidenly cheeks, as Jeeves explained it to me the whole caboodle has to do with a matrimony where the conjugal relations suffer from a distinct lack of variety. Rather! It hardly seems likely, but he insists. Buttonhole the fellow if you want more information. (more…)
The course of inevitable progress ne'er did run smooth.

Now, I can't say I spent a whole lot of time between the acquisition and the formal announcement worrying about whether or not things would change. This is due to two reasons:
1) The team at American Underground and I spent a lot of time making sure that what I didn't want to change would not.
2) We then spent an inordinate amount of time making sure that everything else would.
I like change. Change is good.
Those changes are starting to play out. They were noticeable Monday night in downtown Raleigh, where over 130 entrepreneurs and investors from all over the Triangle came out to the new American Underground @Raleigh facility. There they enjoyed a selection of half-a dozen local craft beers provided by Tasty Beverage and, for the first time ever at an ExitEvent Startup Social, wine.
Because there's money for that now.
But there are other, more relevant signs that the growth that this new partnership was engineered for is starting to take hold, decidedly if slowly.
You can see it on the website where the once-a-day content is becoming twice-a-day on most days, with a bunch of new voices telling startup stories from an entrepreneur's point of view.
And Laura Baverman, ExitEvent's new editor -- one with a background in journalism and national experience -- is only getting warmed up. She spent most of Monday night meeting new people and building on her knowledge of the Triangle startup scene.
Laura's presence (and her work ethic) mark the first formal connection between the ExitEvent Social and ExitEvent content, allowing her to get the pulse of several startups at once, as well as prime the megaphone to tell more and better stories to the world about what's going on in the Triangle.
Another immediate and important change is that more people know about ExitEvent now. I'd like to think I've got a pretty solid reach, but just having other people involved in promoting the cause and spreading the word creates a huge increase in that reach.
Add in the fact that those other people are also setting a beachhead in the Triangle becoming a top-five entrepreneurial region, and that increase goes exponential.
And the quality was off the charts. I made a bunch of introductions, some of which were ricochet introductions -- that's where someone gets introduced to me and I immediately introduce them to someone else I think they should know.
Not only is that kind of thing fun and exciting, which is important, I should add, but it's also necessary.
I started ExitEvent because the Triangle isn't Silicon Valley, and in that it has to play a certain kind of catch-up in order for more startups to succeed here. I built ExitEvent to bring those elements to bear that I thought would make that happen -- more focus, more connection, more spotlight, more education.
Those things are happening, and now they're happening more and better. And if it can be done without the name tags, the speeches, the selling, and the bullshit, then I'll have nothing to worry about after all.


text: "As we pursue our strategy of building a better investment firm 'through clients' eyes', we are succeeding in driving growth in both our client base and stockholder value," Mr. Bettinger continued. "Our core net new assets of nearly $43 billion were 97% higher than a year ago and the highest in Schwab history for a summer quarter; our year-to-date core net new assets of $108.8 billion represent an annualized growth rate of approximately 7.4%. In addition, we ended September with 9.0 million active brokerage accounts and 930,000 banking accounts, up 3% and 10%, respectively, over the third quarter of 2012. While total corporate retirement plan participants declined in keeping with our announced consolidation of plan recordkeeping technology platforms, we are seeing strong interest in our new index-based 401(k) offering. Meanwhile, introduction of our groundbreaking, innovative ETF 401(k) Plan solution is pending resolution of a final regulatory issue."Mr. Bettinger noted, "These client results supported double-digit percentage increases in all three of our main revenue sources and 15% overall revenue growth versus the year-ago quarter. Even with the continued headwind created by an interest rate environment that remains at historic lows, our third quarter revenues surpassed all our prior quarterly results save the extraordinary spike we experienced at the height of the internet bubble." CFO Joe Martinetto commented, "With our client investments running at appropriate levels, we were able to convert Schwab's strong revenue performance into a 33.8% pre-tax profit margin and $290 million of net income for the third quarter, our highest quarterly earnings since the peak year of 2008. As we deliver improved earnings and our balance sheet growth tracks with our core asset gathering activity, our capital flexibility increases – we ended the quarter with a preliminary consolidated Tier I Leverage Ratio of 6.3% versus our target minimum ratio of 6.0%." Mr. Martinetto concluded, "Assuming an ongoing economic recovery, as well as interest rates and client trading activity that remain at or above recent levels, our outlook for the remainder of this year and into 2014 has not changed – we expect our 2013 revenue growth will outpace expenses by approximately 100 to 200 basis points, helping us to achieve a pre-tax profit margin of at least 30% and earnings per share in the mid-$.70s for the year. Additionally, we are aiming for a gap of approximately 300 to 500 basis points between revenue and expense growth in 2014. We continue to believe we possess all of the elements necessary for strong growth and increased operating leverage going forward: business momentum, operating and expense discipline, a healthy balance sheet, and a solid capital base."

Research Interests
My research interests primarily involve land use/land cover impacts and effects on water quality and quantity. Despite the large volume of research devoted to relating watershed conditions to stream water quality, many uncertainties still remain. One such challenge is in separating geophysical controls (i.e. geology, soils) from human-driven land use/cover influences in terms of explaining stream chemistry.
Likewise, incorporating issues of scale (whole watershed vs. riparian area versus reach) and proximity of land use/cover to a stream into a statistical framework for explaining stream chemical and biological patterns is also an important area of ongoing research. Further work is also needed in integrating different means of assessing in-stream water quality to provide a more holistic view of stream ecosystem health, a focus of the Center's New York watersheds project.
The ongoing challenge is to take different methods of assessing water quality and incorporate them into a single picture of stream health, one that highlights both the unique aspects of each measure and also the overlapping aspects between measures, leading to "multiple lines of evidence" for defining water quality conditions.

Occupy The Huffington Post? So Snooty They Charge for Internships
Via Jim Romenesko, we're reminded that Arianna Huffington is so cheap, not only does The Huffington Post fail to pay interns. They charge interns for the privilege! How very "One Percent" of her.
A Huffington Post internship sold on CharityBuzz.com for $5,200 this week, reports Jeff Bercovici. "In an auction held last spring, a three-month internship netted a massive $14,400. Last year, one sold for $9,000, and in 2009 the winning bid was $13,000. That price history makes $5,200 look like a serious bargain, and that's even before you factor in the free soda and the nap rooms."
Curiously, the Huff-Po is publishing former Vice President Biden economic adviser Jared Bernstein lamenting the persistence of dramatic wealth inequality in America. Left unasked: how is President Hope and Change doing on that liberal goal of redistribution? Apparently, it's not a factor in the discussion.
The question is whether it's cyclical or structural and the answer is that it's almost certainly the former. Note the huge bounce back in the growth of top incomes once the economy recovered. Since the underlying forces generating the increasingly unequal distribution of growth remained in place, there was no reason to expect a structural downshift....
What does the future hold in this regard? Will inequality, as measured by the share going to the top 1%, start climbing again soon?
I'm quite certain it will as the forces stoking its growth remain in place.

WARILLA-Lake South Gorillas have returned to something like their best form and the Berry Magpies' six-match winning run came to a sudden end in round 16 of the VB South Coast Rugby League competition at Cec Glenholmes Oval with the home team winning 52-4.
Berry were unable to handle Warilla captain and lock forward Aaron Henry, who had a field day.
He scored two tries, played a part in several others and his strong running continually left the defence in tatters. He received great support from his teammates and Warilla again appear the team to beat for the premiership, and for the first time in several games their goal-kicker was on target.
Good Berry defence featured in the opening stages, but lost possession did not help their attack and Warilla hooker Dane Corran appeared to score, but his team was given a penalty and in the ninth minute Luke Roberts scored for Nolan Gray to convert and the Gorillas led 6-0.
Jesse Dee short-kicked for centre Blake Colgan to score and Warilla led 10-0.
With Warilla dominating possession, Henry made his presence felt, sending Corran over before scoring himself just before half-time. When Nolan goaled it was 22-0 at the interval.
On resumption, Berry again lost possession and Henry sent Jarryd Pepper over in the corner and Nolan converted with a great kick: 28-0.
Dee was again prominent and sent Henry crashing over for his second try, which Nolan converted and another Henry pass sent Keiran Rankmore in. At 38-0 in the 56th minute a big score looked on the cards before Berry at last showed something in attack and winger James Knight crossed for their only points after a great passing movement.
Again it was all Warilla with Blake Colgan sending winger Chad Lisch over and then Henry was again to the fore, sending Mark Walsh over. The half century was posted when Lisch scored his second and the final score was 52-4. The match flowed well with referee Craig Jones only awarding seven penalties for the entire game.
Henry was outstanding among many good Gorilla players including Walsh, Joel Skeates, Dee and Corran, while halves Josh Ingold and Joe Rogers, Knight and Nick Schilko tried hard in a beaten Magpies team.
In other weekend games, Shellharbour City Sharks proved too strong for Kiama Knights with a 32-18 win at Kiama, Port Kembla caused a boilover to upset Jamberoo 30-18 at Noel Mulligan Oval, Gerringong Lions ended Nowra-Bomaderry Jets' five-game winning run 54-18 at home and Milton outclassed Albion Park-Oak Flats 40-22 at Mollymook.

Rio Ferdinand has urged Roy Hodgson to give youth a chance against Costa Rica on Tuesday.
The Central Americans' shock win over Italy sealed the England's fate and means the Three Lions can no longer qualify for the last 16.
With qualification now out of their grasp 81-cap Ferdinand believes the time is right to blood some of the country's brightest youngsters.
Speaking to promote the launch of EA SPORTS UFC, he said: "I think it's a young squad so why not see what they're about.
"I'd love to see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain play, Barkley get a few more minutes, Lallana too and I'd like to see Luke Shaw, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling as well.
"There's loads of them in the squad that would benefit from having a few minutes on the pitch."
Former Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney came in for a lot of criticism in the run up to the Uruguay game.
But the 28-year-old responded well scoring his first ever World Cup goal, something Ferdinand was pleased to see.
"I think in the Uruguay game he reacted quite well, in terms of he got in positions to score goals, he had a couple of chances that maybe he would have expected himself to do a little bit better in.
"On another day he would have banged that left footed shot in definitely.
"Then he still got in and scored a goal and he was our most productive player on the day in terms of getting chances and putting one in the back of the net, so I said he reacted in response to the first game where he didn't really look like scoring.
"But at the end of the day, England will be judged and so will the players, and Wayne Rooney is our talisman and he will be judged accordingly.
"I'm sure he's man enough to take any criticism that is going to come his way if it does."
Ferdinand, who bowed out of from the international stage in May of last year, admits that with the eyes of the world on Brazil he'd still love to be out there playing.
"Absolutely, when you're a born footballer you always want to play football," he added.
"I'd love to be playing as it's a beautiful place to play football and everyone loves it here so yeah I'd love to be playing out there in those stadiums, it would be cool."
