AUBURN, Ala. – College of Charleston scored three runs in the sixth inning to pull to within one run, but ultimately could not overcome Middle Tennessee State, falling by a score of 4-3.
The loss was the third straight for Charleston (3-4), while Middle Tennessee State (5-2) went 3-0 on the weekend with wins over Auburn, Indiana State and the Cougars.
Blue Raider starter Zac Curtis (1-1) picked up the win for MTSU, pitching a shutout into the sixth inning before giving up two hits and getting pulled. He ended up being responsible for all three CofC runs in the inning.
Charleston freshman Nathan Helvey (1-1) suffered his first loss of his career, pitching into the fourth inning and allowing three runs on five hits. After reliever Drew Freie gave up a run in the fifth, the CofC bullpen settled in with Michael Hanzlik and Dre Watts combining for three innings pitched, three strikeouts and just three hits allowed.
Ryan Ford tallied three hits with a run and an RBI for MTSU, and Johnny Thomas hit an RBI triple and scored a run.
Brandon Murray hit the only extra-base knock for the Cougars, coming in the three-run sixth inning, and he came around to score. Freshman Alex Pastorius tallied an RBI in his first career hit and classmate Blake Butler also tallied an RBI.
The Blue Raiders scored their first run in the second inning with a double steal with runners on first and third. MTSU struck again in the third when Thomas' triple off the wall in right field scored Ford. Thomas then came home to score on a wild pitch to put Middle Tennessee State up 3-0.
The Sun Belt Conference representatives then added to the lead in the fifth inning with a leadoff double from Dain McNabb and an RBI single from Ford.
The Cougars struck back in the bottom of the sixth inning with three runs on four hits. Bradley Goodson led off the inning with a walk and advanced to third on a ground-rule double from Murray. Pastorius knocked in Goodson with a base hit to left, and Murray came home to score on a failed pickoff attempt that went wide of the first baseman.
The Cougars loaded the bases with two outs and threatened to tie or take the lead, but leadoff batter Gunnar Heidt struck out swinging, one of four strikeouts on the day for the shortstop.
The Cougars put a leadoff runner on in the bottom of the ninth inning, but Heidt struck out with a bunt foul and Goodson and Murray couldn't get the ball out of the infield.
Sunday's loss marks the first time since March of 2011 that the Cougars were swept in a weekend series.
College of Charleston hits the road again on Tuesday to play at Jacksonville at 4 p.m. That game will be broadcast, audio-only, on the Charleston Sports Network on CofCSports.com.

Cats Illustrated
MANCHESTER, Ky. - Like many people in his Southeast Kentucky town, Clay County High School's Jacob Hyde has been a University of Kentucky football fan all his life.
The 6-foot-3, 315-pound defensive tackle is a proud resident of Manchester, considered a stronghold of UK fans but one not thought to have produced any recent football Wildcats.
It's set to produce one now.
Hyde, one of the state's strongest, biggest players, became UK's first verbal recruiting commitment in the class of 2013 on March 1, and he's still soaking in what it all means to him and his community.
The day after he committed to UK, when he sat at his desk for History class, the principal came over the intercom to announce that Hyde had become UK's first commitment.
"And everybody goes crazy," he recalled. "... I shook so many hands and hugged so many people, it's not even funny.
"That's a moment I'll remember for a while. ... It's a childhood dream of mine. My mom and I used to drive by (Commonwealth) Stadium. I'd say, 'Yeah, Mom, I want to play there when I get older.'"
Years later, he's made it a reality, and Manchester is rejoicing.
'Everybody's for him'
His high school coaches say Hyde is one of the more popular people in town, and at 6-3, 315, it's not easy for Hyde to hide.
"You could go out anywhere in the county and ask if they know Jacob Hyde, and they'll say, 'Oh, yeah, I know Jake. He's a great guy,'" Clay County strength and conditioning coach Evan Napier said.
Kids, including the grade-school football players he coaches, look up to him. Adults respect him for his affability, for being a good student and for setting a good example for his young brother.
He said since his commitment he's been asked for his autograph multiple times.
"Everybody's behind him," Clay County assistant coach Bryan Samples said. "He's loved by everybody, and everybody's for him."
Napier said Hyde is a Manchester boy "through and through," and the player looks forward to representing the Tigers once he's a Wildcat.
"I'm very proud of Clay County," said Hyde, who was born in Lexington but moved to Manchester as a young boy. " ... They all have my back. The townspeople love me. The kids, people in general, families, they all accept me for who I am."
He said he wanted to play for the Wildcats in part because his parents were UK fans, including his father, who died in an accident when Hyde was 4.
Hyde committed to coach Joker Phillips during a meeting in his office on March 1, hours before they attended UK's Senior Night basketball game against Georgia.
Hyde's mother couldn't make the trip to Lexington that day because she had to get up at 5 a.m. the next morning for her job in London, but after he committed to Phillips, he called his mom to tell her the news.
"My mom said, 'I'm proud of you, son. You're daddy would be, too, if he was still here today,'" recalled Hyde, who said he thinks about his father every day. "It was a really big moment to me."
In recent years and during his recruitment, Hyde said part-time Clay County volunteer coach Mark Deaton, who met Hyde when he was in the eighth grade, has become like a "father figure" to him.
Deaton has taken Hyde around the country to participate in many combines and camps. But UK's camp last summer - after which Hyde earned his scholarship offer - was the only college camp he's attended.
UK remains the only team to have made Hyde an offer, but Deaton thinks there would be more if they'd been to more campuses to let him be evaluated him in person.
"But everything happens for a reason, and I think Jacob is very happy with the decision he made," Deaton said.
So are UK's coaches.
Deaton accompanied Hyde to the meeting with Phillips' staff on the day he committed, and he said the Cats were thrilled with the news. Hyde had been getting regular recruiting correspondence from Georgia Tech and Missouri, and Deaton mentioned Louisville, UCLA, Stanford and Western Kentucky as other schools that showed interest.
"(UK's coaches) were all smiles and (high) fives, and they know they snagged one before anybody else could get a chance to get him," Deaton said. " ... He's true Kentucky."
In the world of college football recruiting, a verbal commitment often doesn't mean a lot, but Hyde said it means a lot to him.
He said Phillips made clear that he wanted a commitment from Hyde only if he was prepared to honor it until next year's signing day, and Hyde gladly agreed to the terms.
"How solid am I?" Hyde said. "Once I say I'm doing something, I'm doing it. If a man's word is no good, he's no good. ... I'm 100 percent with UK. ... I've always wanted to beat the other schools instead of play for them. ... I'm 100 percent in."
Thick Hyde
If Hyde's 100 percent on board for UK, the Cats have landed a powerful young prospect.
Hyde's work in the weight room is becoming stuff of legends and records at Clay County.
Napier calls him "an animal in the weight room" and "the strongest kid I've ever seen."
Napier, who played at Clay County through 2001, then at Eastern Kentucky University, said Hyde's strength reminds him more of his former teammates in college than it does of anyone he's seen in high school.
Napier remembered that the strongest offensive lineman at EKU when he played could bench press 505 pounds; Hyde - only a high school junior - recently lifted a personal best of 425.
"And he threw it up like it was 135," Napier said. "He was kind of mad at himself that he saw how easy he got it and could have done more."
Indeed, Hyde makes lifting a lot of weight look easy.
During a recent workout, he easily bench-pressed 10 repetitions of 315 pounds in what amounted to a warmup.
A few minutes later he made two reps of 405 - with four 45-pound steel plates on each side of a 45-pound bar - with relative ease. Hyde's set a goal of bench-pressing 500 by the time he finishes high school.
His maximum power clean lift is 325, and he's successfully squatted 560 with his sights set on one day getting "about 700."
Clay County's coaches aren't eager to let him push his limit on squat.
Last summer, with four teammates and two coaches spotting him, he tried to squat 685 pounds - that's seven 45-pound plates on each side - but had to quit when the bar bent.
"I said, 'Oh, well, there's a $200 bar we've got to buy," Samples said. "... It looked like the Hulk had got a hold of it. I said, 'That's done it for you. I hope UK has stronger bars than us.'"
Deaton said Hyde has been the strongest player he's seen at the various combines and camps they've attended.
"Not too many (other players at the combines) could move him," Deaton said with a laugh. "I don't want to be biased because I love the kid like my own, but he's just cornbread strong."
Deaton joked that Hyde likes to come up behind him and surprise him with bear hugs that hurt so badly that they've nearly brought him to tears.
"I can't imagine what Hyde will be after Rock Oliver gets done with him," he said, referring to UK's strength and conditioning coach.
Power ball
On the field, Hyde's strength is, well, his strength. He hasn't yet learned a lot of defensive-line technique, so his game consists mostly of bull rushes straight ahead, his coaches say. But for a high school behemoth, it's an effective method.
"He's a driver. I call it a roach: 'Drive him into the ground,'" Deaton said.
Samples said Clay County has played some very good teams with strong players but that if Hyde can get a one-on-one matchup, "it's over. ... He just blows it up instantly."
Samples said he doesn't think Hyde has played a game in which by the third play, the opponent didn't have two linemen - and sometimes a fullback as well - assigned to block him.
"When I've got my hand down in the ground, I say, 'I feel sorry for the center in front of me and the quarterback after the snap.'" Hyde said. "But they're there for a reason. They're there to whoop my rump - or to try to anyway - and we'll see how it plays out in the end."
Deaton asked UK defensive line coach David Turner the day before Hyde committed whether he'd expect him to redshirt in 2013, and Turner said that Hyde's size and strength are sufficient that he could play right away as a freshman and possibly even start as a sophomore in 2014.
But Deaton said he's told Hyde that's only talk if he's not willing to back it up with hard work before he gets to college.
And Hyde intends to do just that.
"If people have never seen me play, they should expect a very hard-playing kid, hard-nosed kid who likes to get after it, a very dedicated kid," said Hyde, who would like to graduate in December and enroll midyear at UK if his curriculum schedule allows it.
Napier said he doesn't think Hyde understands the level of his football potential or how dominant he can be as a high school player of his size and strength, but he believes that the commitment to Kentucky will raise both his confidence level and his level of play.
Being a future Cat is already a source of pride for Hyde.
"Most kids cannot say they got to live out their childhood dream," he said.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stratasys ( SSYS) was advancing Thursday following the desktop 3-D printer's announcement of a deal worth up to $604 million to acquire its Brooklyn, N.Y.-based rival, MakerBot Industries LLC. Shares of Eden Prairie, Minn.-based Stratasys were gaining 2% to $86.25 in mid-day trading. Stratasys will issue about 4.76 million shares in exchange for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of MakerBot. The proposed merger has an initial value of $403 million based on Stratasys' closing stock price of $84.60 as Wednesday. MakerBot stakeholders also qualify for performance-based earnouts that provide an additional 2.38 million shares through the end of 2014. The proposed earnouts have an initial value of up to $201 million, based on Stratasys' Wednesday closing stock price. "Desktop 3-D printers have evolved into systems appealing to professionals and nonprofessional users across a wide range of industries and applications," Stratasys CEO David Reis said on a Thursday morning conference call. "MakerBot has major customers in organizations like General Electric Co., the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Lockheed Martin Corp. and it will continue to sell its desktop 3-D printers to other major Fortune 500 companies, as well as small entrepreneurial startups and individuals." Reis and officials at MakerBot said the deal will allow both companies to cut costs and further tap international markets. "As a combined company, we'll be offering 3-D printers priced from $2,200 to around $600,000 and suitable for home, desktop, professional and industrial uses," Reis said. "We have the ability to benefit from Stratasys' processes, intellectual property, technical expertise, R&D investment and global reach," MakerBot COO Bre Pettis added on the call. MakerBot will operate as a Stratasys subsidiary after the deal closes, expected in the third quarter pending customary closing conditions. Pettis will maintain at his post. The target reported $15.7 million in sales for 2012. It had $11.5 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2013 and has sold more about 22,000 3-D printers since its founding in early 2009. "Based on industry data, we estimate that MakerBot had more than 20% market share in the personal 3-D printing market in 2011 and expanded market share in 2012," analyst Brian Drab of William Blair & Co. LLC wrote in a note Thursday. "The purchase price represents 38 times 2012 sales and forward multiple of 13.1 times expected 2013 sales."

Donaldson's homer leads A's past Yankees
Oakland earns series victory in New York to start 10-game road trip
NEW YORK -- With Sunday's 5-4 victory over the Yankees, which secured Oakland's first series win in the Bronx since August 2011, the A's improved upon their already astounding winning ledger with Yoenis Cespedes in the lineup.
When that happens, the A's are 13-4 this year, and 95-50 overall, since Cespedes arrived in Oakland.
"My mom tells me that when I'm in the lineup," Cespedes said through his translator, "the team wins more games."
Moms really do know best.
Cespedes, who had mom Estela Milanes in the stands on Sunday afternoon, was one of three A's players to hit a home run, the long ball ultimately making up for the team's woes with runners in scoring position, situations that resulted in an 0-for-9 showing.
But long balls from Cespedes and Luke Montz that helped the club to an early three-run lead were nearly deemed irrelevant when the Yankees came back to tie the A's in the sixth. It was Josh Donaldson's second-deck solo shot off Boone Logan in the eighth that untied the game and proved to be the difference.
Homers aside, closer Grant Balfour kind of stole the show with an eventful ninth.
Balfour picked up two quick outs before Brett Gardner reached first on a broken-bat single to bring up Robinson Cano, who took a strike and watched Gardner advance to second on Balfour's ensuing wild pitch. The count at 1-1, manager Bob Melvin opted to intentionally walk Cano, 4-for-12 lifetime against Balfour.
Vernon Wells, who just so happened to carry with him an even better history (6-for-12) against the right-hander, was up next. Balfour, aware of this, was upset, but he pitched on and struck out Wells on six pitches.
"I hate having to do that," Balfour said of the walk. "You got a guy that swings the bat pretty good and you got to put him on. You want to face everyone. You want to get everyone out.
"[Wells] is a good hitter. He's had plenty of success in his career. Just trying to make it difficult on him, make good pitches. At first there, I was trying to get him to hit a ground ball. When I got later in the count, I'm looking to punch him out."
"Trust me," Melvin said, "I know it's 6-for-12 with two homers sitting right behind [Cano], but in this ballpark and the way Cano's swinging, it was a better option for me. It wasn't an easy decision but one I felt like I had to make."
The strikeout secured Balfour's 23rd consecutive save dating back to a year ago Sunday, a span during which the righty has allowed just two earned runs with 27 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings.
Said Wells: "He won that battle. I'm sure there will be plenty more. Those are the moments you love to be in, everything was set up for another memorable Yankee Stadium moment, and I didn't come through that time."
Oakland left five men on base over the first three innings with lefty Andy Pettitte on the mound, drawing three walks in that time and upping his pitch count but failing to capitalize on multiple scoring chances, their only run over that span the result of a Cano throwing error in the third.
Following Montz's homer in the fourth, Cespedes launched a two-run shot to left field in the fifth to give starter Dan Straily, pitching in place of an injured Brett Anderson, a three-run lead that Jerry Blevins squandered in the sixth, when Lyle Overbay tagged him for a two-run, game-tying bloop single.
But Donaldson saved the day with his third home run of the season, his first since April 12. Montz had waited much longer for his, though.
The 29-year-old's fourth-inning leadoff shot off Pettitte was his first in the Majors since 2008, when Montz played in 10 games with the Nationals before returning to the Minors for more than four years in advance of this past Wednesday's callup.
Montz also collected a double in the second, giving him three hits since his promotion -- the same number he posted in 21 at-bats during his brief September '08 stay with Washington.
"It's been quite some time," Montz said. "2008 seems like a long time ago, but it felt like my first one today. Being at Yankee Stadium against a guy like Andy Pettitte, big game, big win, it makes it that much more special."
"We got contributions across the board today in different ways," Melvin said. "Sometimes it takes a whole group to win a ballgame, and today, that was the case."

Sheila Allen
Born 22 October 1932
Chard, Somerset, England, UK
Died 13 October 2011 (aged 78)
London, England, UK
Occupation Actress
Sheila Allen (22 October 1932 – 13 October 2011)[1] was an English actress, who was best known to the wider public for her role on television as Cassie Manson in Bouquet Of Barbed Wire and its sequel Another Bouquet (1976–77). From 1966 to 1978, Allen was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company.[1]
Early life and stage work
Allen was born in Chard, Somerset, to Dorothy Essex (née Potter) and William Allen.[2]
From the 1950s, Allen appeared in plays by Shakespeare, including for the RSC in both Stratford and London. Her first leading role was that of Katherine ("the shrew") in The Taming of the Shrew for the Arena Company in Birmingham (1954–56). Among many other Shakespearean roles, she played Hippolyta in A Midsummer Night's Dream with the Bristol Old Vic Company, a production that moved to London (1957–58), and first appeared with the RSC in 1962. Her later Shakespearean parts included Portia (The Merchant of Venice, Old Vic, London, 1962), Lady Percy (Henry IV, Parts I and II) (RSC, Stratford, 1966), Lady Macduff (Macbeth, RSC, Stratford and London, 1968), Lady Capulet (Romeo and Juliet, RSC, Stratford, 1967), Helen (Troilus and Cressida, RSC, Stratford, 1968), Lady Macbeth (Macbeth, Shaw Theatre, London, 1973) and Goneril (King Lear, Stratford and London, 1974).
Television and film
Allen appeared with Patrick McGoohan in an episode of Danger Man ("Don't Nail Him Yet", 1964), before her guest role in The Prisoner (1967). In the episode "A. B. and C.", the third episode of the series, Allen was Number 14, a scientist who was one of many who failed in "the Village" to elicit from Number 6 (McGoohan) why he had resigned from a certain organisation. She was pressed by Number 2 (Colin Gordon) to use a new wonder drug and archive film to influence her subject's dreams, but he was able to manipulate the process and thereby to cause the downfall of Number 2. When not dressed in her subterranean laboratory in a white coat with her hair tied back, Number 14 was seen with flowing hair, walking around the Village in a cape of many colours.
In Bouquet of Barbed Wire, based on a novel by Andrea Newman and described by Philip Purser as a "kinky saga which was much discussed ... well made and acted",[3] Allen's character was the wife of Peter Manson (Frank Finlay), who had an unhealthy obsession about his married daughter, Prue (Susan Penhaligon). Among many sexual entanglements, Cassie had an affair with Gavin Sorenson (James Aubrey), her own son-in-law.
She also portrayed the Matron Mary Taylor in the television series Shroud for a Nightingale (1984), based on the P.D. James novel.
Her many film credits include The Prince and the Pauper (1962), Children of the Damned (1963), The Alphabet Murders (1965), and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film) (2005). Allen continued to work into the 21st century, and taught at the Guildford School of Acting.

A's walk off in 12th for ninth straight win
OAKLAND -- Josh Donaldson was a little bit nervous after his homer secured the Oakland Athletics' ninth straight win on Friday night. After all, it was his first Major League walk-off hit and he knew the pie was coming.
Donaldson, who scored the tying run in the seventh, went deep in the 12th inning to lift Oakland over the Detroit Tigers, 4-3.
"The streak is a streak, and I don't care about it," Donaldson said. "We're just trying to win the one game in front of us."
The nine-game winning streak, which began after a 0-2 start to the season, is the 14th streak of nine or more games in Oakland history.
"I was kind of nervous. I didn't know when the pie was going to come," said Donaldson, the latest Athletics player to receive the special treatment from Josh Reddick.
Donaldson hit a fastball from Brayan Villarreal into the right-field bleachers. The ball just cleared the fence.
"I didn't know if it was going out," the right-handed hitter said. "I've never hit one there. I was looking for a fastball. He throws pretty hard and I didn't want to be too aggressive."
Coco Crisp, a multiple-pie receiver, singled home the tying run in the seventh but had to leave the game after the ninth with a strained left groin.
Oakland reliever Chris Resop got one out in the 12th and earned his first win.
Bartolo Colon pitched seven strong innings, allowing only Prince Fielder's three-run homer in the third to mar an otherwise solid effort. He gave up eight hits, struck out five and did not walk a batter.
"The whole game I felt good except for that one inning," Colon said. "I was supposed to throw it to a different spot and I didn't get it there."
Fielder went 4-for-5, falling a triple shy of the cycle.
"It wasn't like we walked somebody," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "[Donaldson] hit it over the fence. You gotta tip your cap."
Colon retired seven of the final eight batters he faced, giving the A's the chance to erase an early deficit.
Tigers starter Max Scherzer allowed five hits over six innings, giving up two runs while walking one and striking out 11.
"Max pitched extremely well," Leyland said. "He was good. We just didn't add on."
A's relievers combined to throw five scoreless innings, allowing four hits with no walks and three strikeouts.
"We've seen it before," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "We feel like when we tied the game, we have a bullpen that can hold them down."
Eric Sogard doubled to open the third, stole third and scored when Scherzer threw the ball away trying to get him at third, making it 3-1.
Jed Lowrie opened the sixth with a double and Reddick followed with an RBI single to bring the A's within one. It was Reddick's first game since he injured his right wrist in Houston on Sunday.
Donaldson doubled to lead off the seventh to set up Crisp's game-tying hit.
"I've experienced a lot of magic, and I've always been the guy leading up to it," Donaldson said. "I feel like in a pressure situation, the best comes out of me."
Crisp has hit safely in each of the nine wins, hitting .390 (16-for-41) over that span. Lowrie has reached base in all 11 games this season.
Both Crisp (strained left groin) and Yoenis Cespedes (sore left hand) had to leave the game, forcing Melvin to abandon the designated hitter. Donaldson made sure a pitcher wouldn't have to hit.
"We lose two of our better players and we still go out with the idea of winning," Melvin said. "It doesn't matter who is on the field."

The Knox County Criminal Court Clerk's Office was responsible for a series of mistakes that led to wrongful arrests and defendants kept in jail past their release dates, according to a series of audit reports compiled by the county's Information Technology Department that trace the history of the arrest records.
The audit trails were put together after Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey last week gave the Knox County Commission a packet of information that was supposed to exonerate her from allegations that errors in her office led to a number of problems, including erroneous charges against defendants.
The file McCroskey turned over included her version of events for seven specific cases in which defendants were wrongly arrested or detained. She said her office was responsible for only one, and that the there were no problems with the others.
However, the informational packets McCroskey provided included errors, omitted data, and even admissions of guilt for some of the problems, according to a WBIR Channel 10 analysis. They were comprised mostly of narratives put together by her staff and contained few relevant supporting documents.
McCroskey's presentation to the County Commission came in the wake of a 10News investigation that detailed a systemic problem inside McCroskey's office that has led to wrongful arrests, cases set aside due to errors and residents temporarily losing their right to vote.
The mistakes appear tied to poor training, outdated information and her refusal to cooperate with other county departments. Her workers often enter the wrong data into the records management system, lose crucial paperwork and provide defendants, prosecutors, and authorities with bad information.
After commissioners received the information last Monday, a number of officials asked the county's IT Department to conduct an independent review on the seven cases McCroskey specifically noted. The office then put together the audit trails, which include timestamps that detail the chain of events leading up to a defendant's arrest or extended incarceration.
On Thursday, WBIR obtained audits connected to five of the cases, and first reported that the information McCroskey gave officials included admissions to the problems, avoids addressing the mistakes, or is in itself riddled with errors.
The complete report was then released this week to WBIR under the state's open records act.
The information it contains was culled from the Knox County Justice Information Management System, or JIMS, the recordkeeping system that officials use to make decisions on whether a defendant is up-to-date on payments, court appearances, or community service.
Each audit suggests that errors originating from the Criminal Court Clerk's Office caused the problems.
McCroskey on Monday declined to comment about the matter.
A number of top county leaders, including judges and officials from the law department, sheriff's office, district attorney general's office and the criminal court clerk's office are expected to meet in the next few weeks to go over the issues and find solutions.
Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, who called the reports "troubling," said he also will attend.
The meetings, he said, will more than likely "cause some people some discomfort because there's (going to be) someone to blame."
Knox County Commission Chairman Brad Anders also said officials still "have more questions that need to be asked."
"This doesn't have to (be a case) of finger pointing, but we need to fix the problems in our justice system before anyone else is falsely arrested," he added.

BUNNELL, Fla. - A Palm Coast man was arrested Wednesday on battery charges after police responded to a possible attempted child abduction at a daycare center in Bunnell.
Bunnel police were dispatched to a daycare center on North Chapel Street after receiving reports that a man in a gold or brown four-door sedan with a taxi sign on it had picked up some children.
Officers located George Fredericks, 63, of Palm Coast, who matched a description given to them by victims at the scene, according to an arrest report.
Fredericks was not charged with any crimes related to child abduction, but he did confirm that he touched and shook the victim whom he wanted to scare "in order to teach him a lesson" after the child allegedly made a rude gesture to him, the report states.
Police said that, based on testimony given from Fredericks and the victim, there is probable cause to believe that Fredericks intentionally touched the child against the victim's will.
Fredericks was arrested and taken to the Flagler County Inmate Facility.

text: For local spelling bee winner, runner-up, it was a repeat performance By Amber Marra February 3, 2012 Story Share Tom Hindman Kathryn Wantlin, 12, is this year's Kanawha County spelling bee champion. As a seventh-grader at Charleston Catholic, Kathryn splits her time between studying for both the spelling bee and math field day and practicing the piano, all while maintaining her grades. She will compete in the regional bee March 17 at Capital High School. Bob Wojcieszak Lauren Coccari, 12, was runner-up in the Kanawha County bee and, like Kathryn, will advance to the regional competition. Lauren is a seventh-grader at Sissonville Middle School. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For the winner and the first runner-up of the 56th annual Kanawha County Spelling Bee, it was a repeat performance.Kathryn Wantlin, 12, of Charleston Catholic, took the top title in this year's bee. She sealed the deal by spelling "ghastly" as her winning word.It was the second year for her to be named county champion.It is also the second year she has matched wits with Lauren Coccari, 12, of Sissonville Middle School.Lauren became first runner-up when she missed "slanderous," but she had survived 46 rounds against Kathryn and 61 other Kanawha County students in the Jan. 21 event at South Charleston High School.The third-place winner was Alexandra Goad, 13, of Cross Lanes Christian Academy. The top-placing elementary student was Varun Kukkillaya, 10, of Holtz Elementary.This is the third year Lauren has been county runner-up. She will reach the age limit for competition next year, and she will try one more time for the county champion title. "I want to try to actually win next year and make the best of it because it will be the last time I'll be up on that stage spelling, so I'm enjoying the last few years of glory while I can," she said.Both Kathryn and Lauren will compete in the March 17 Gazette-Mail Regional Spelling Bee, joining champions and runners-up from 21 other counties in the southern half of the state.The regional bee will be held at Capital High School. It is co-sponsored by the West Virginia Housing Development Fund and Lumos. The regional contest will be televised on MyZ, WSAZ's sister station, at 1 p.m. March 31.The Kanawha County girls have spelled against each other more than once and have similar interests -- both are avid pianists. They feel no animosity towards one another. "It's just like going up against any other person," Kathryn said.As she prepares for the regional bee, she also must find time for piano lessons, regular schoolwork and math field day practice. Luckily, she has her mom to help her study the list of words she gets before the competition.She says she can't help but think about the way words are spelled."Sometimes when I'm doing something else, it just creeps up into my mind," she said. Lauren also has a study list and has her mom help when she can.At the county bee, pronouncer Kennie Bass had moved beyond the word list that had been provided to spellers when he gave Lauren "slanderous." "They started going off the list, and then I was pretty much screwed because there are a million different suffixes that could go on the end of that," she said.Pronouncers move beyond resources provided to competitors even sooner on the regional and national levels. Students who do best at those levels are those who read widely and study language rules.Kathryn studies etymology, or the history and roots of words, before she gets on stage."They have certain rules, like tricks to help you spell it if you've never seen the word before, like in Arabic some letters come up double and in German they like to have three consonants together," she said. Bass, a news anchor for WCHS and WVAH, has served the difficult role of pronouncer for the Kanawha County bee for the past three years. He says hearing the word and its root can make or break a speller.He prepares for his role in advance and realizes the seriousness of speaking every word as clearly and concisely as possible."This is going to sound silly, but there is a lot of pressure involved with that job. I just don't want to be the reason that causes them to have an error," Bass said.Bass has a history with spelling bees. He won multiple school contests when he attended the now-closed Arthur I. Boreman Elementary in Cross Lanes.Kathryn said the thrill she gets from spelling a word correctly helps her overcome her nervousness about a competition."I just spell every word and it calms me down, I guess," she said.Last year's regional champion, who represented the Gazette-Mail at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., was Elizabeth Koh, 13, of St. Francis De Sales School in Beckley.Elizabeth won the Raleigh County bee and again will compete in the regional competition.This year's regional winner will take a weeklong trip to the nation's capital to compete in the national bee. The regional trophy will be placed in the new champion's school for the next year.The SMART529 program will award the regional champion a $2,500 college savings account. The winner also receives the Samuel Louis Sugarman award, a $100 savings bond donated by Jay Sugarman in honor of his father, Samuel Louis Sugarman; a one-year subscription to Encyclopedia Britannica Online donated by Encyclopedia Britannica; a copy of Merriam Webster's Third New International Dictionary, the official reference for the bee.The second-place regional winner will receive a $150 cash prize, a subscription to Encycopedia Britannica Online, a Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and a $20 Amazon.com gift card.The third-place winner will receive a $75 cash prize, an Encyclopedia Britannia subscription and a $20 Amazon.com gift card.Reach Amber Marra at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-4843 Story Share Story Share Trending Now 1 Deer in 8 WV counties found dead from EHD 2 New company planning $73M synthetic fuel plant in Greenbrier County 3 Richwood mayor on leave amid investigation of purchases 4 WVU law professor announces run for Congress 5 Morgantown coal operator Laurita indicted in alleged campaign finance scheme W.Va.

On May 6, the state Department of Environmental Protection approved a permit to significantly expand a mountaintop removal (MTR) mining operation near Kanawha State Forest and the community of Loudendale. Under this permit, the deforestation, blasting, noisy machinery and plumes of toxic dust will move continually closer to the forest and Loudendale over the next 10 years.
The operation will be close enough that the mining company, Keystone Global, has been given the right to close the Forest's shooting range road and adjacent hiking/biking trails during the frequent times when blasting occurs. Blast warning signs have already been posted at Forest trailheads.
A growing community of people is coming together under the name of the Kanawha Forest Coalition to appeal and oppose this permit. The coalition includes residents of Loudendale, residents of other nearby communities such as South Hills and Mount Alpha, and people who use and appreciate the forest. The coalition will host an informational meeting July 8.
There are two primary reasons for the Kanawha Forest Coalition's opposition to this permit. First, this is a terrible location for conducting MTR mining. Kanawha State Forest is a 9,300 acre tract of Appalachian Forest (which is arguably the finest temperate forest on Earth), located 5 miles from the state Capitol. This makes the forest a wonderful asset, a gem. The forest is exactly the kind of quality-of-life feature that helps us to attract and retain the highly educated, skilled young people who are critical to building modern, diverse economies. What message are we sending to these young people when they see one of our finest assets encircled with the ugliness and devastation of mountaintop removal? How is this consistent with our efforts to expand tourism and promote a more positive image of West Virginia?
It also makes no sense to conduct mountaintop removal directly upstream of a Loudendale community that suffered devastating flooding just over 10 years ago. In addition, a growing body of evidence from peer-reviewed research is showing that people who live near MTR operations suffer significantly higher rates of disease and illness, as well as lowered life expectancies. This correlation holds true even after controlling for differences in income and lifestyles. One likely reason for these health impacts is repeated exposure to toxic fine dust particles, and these particles are carried by the wind well beyond the boundaries of mine sites. So why is our state government allowing an MTR operation in a location that will expose Charleston area residents to these elevated health risks?
The coal industry tries to keep such discussions focused on jobs and cheap electricity. But let's look more closely at the impact of the coal industry on West Virginia, beginning with an analogy. In the Amazon Forest, both individuals and corporations have sought wealth by engaging in a practice commonly referred to as "slash and burn," where they cut down a section of the forest, burn the stumps, and then farm or graze animals for five to seven years, at which point the tropical soils are depleted of nutrients, creating a wasteland. Then the developers move on and do the same thing on more tracts of land.
We look at such self-destructive behavior and wonder what they can possibly be thinking. Yet, other than the fact that coal mines may last a little longer than tropical farms, is there any real difference between this approach to economic development in the Amazon and the practices of the coal industry in West Virginia? The reality is that relying on coal is not an effective strategy for building healthy communities or a sustainable economy.
Sadly, the coal industry has been even more destructive than necessary. I've often wondered if there aren't at least a few reasonable, responsible executives in the coal industry who value and support rigorous, effective safety inspections and regulations, a few executives who are interested in mining coal while causing the least possible damage to the environment and to human communities. Yet if these executives exist, they choose to remain silent.
Instead of cooperating with regulators, community members, and environmentalists, the industry has chosen to use its political clout to resist a strong and effective system of oversight. This is why safety inspections are infrequent, regulations are inadequate, and enforcement consists of slaps on the wrist. It's why mines still explode more often than they should, miners still die from black lung, and the hard-won pensions and health benefits of miners are taken away from them. This is why thousands of miles of ecologically vital headwater streams are sterilized by acid runoff or buried under the rubble of valley fills. This is why our landscape is seeded with hundreds of toxic sludge impoundments that are disasters waiting to happen, either swiftly (Buffalo Creek, etc.) or slowly (leaching into groundwater). And this is why we are advised not to eat the fish from West Virginia because their bodies contain too much toxic mercury.
The citizens of West Virginia deserve better than this. The second reason the Kanawha Forest Coalition is opposing this mining operation is to send a loud and clear message to the coal industry and to our political leaders that the future of West Virginia needs to be about more than protecting the profits of a single industry.
The full name of our organization is Kanawha Forest Coalition: For a Healthy West Virginia. We seek to build a better West Virginia that supports healthy bodies and minds; thriving, vibrant communities; a diverse, sustainable economy; and a truly representative political system.
We are having a public meeting on Tuesday, July 8, at 6 p.m. at Village Chapel Presbyterian Church on Venable Avenue and 39th St. in Kanawha City. We will be providing information about the impacts of this MTR mine, and we'll talk about how we can effectively oppose this mining operation. Please join us. To learn more, email email@example.com or visit facebook.com/kanawhaforestcoaliton.
James C. Waggy is an organizer for the Kanawha Forest Coalition.

Kelley puts on impressive strikeout performance
KANSAS CITY -- Shawn Kelley said he definitely wasn't trying to rack up a career-high six strikeouts in Friday's 11-6 win over the Royals, but the pileup of punchouts was a nice bonus for the Yankees right-hander.
Kelley hurled 2 1/3 perfect innings of relief in New York's victory, including striking out the first five batters he faced.
"I've always been a guy as the season goes on, as the weather gets warmer, my velocity goes up a little bit [and my] slider gets a little sharper," Kelley said. "I'm starting to feel a little bit more like myself and finding my groove a little bit."
Kelley was acquired by the Yankees in February from the Mariners for Minor League outfielder Abraham Almonte, making the team this spring because of his ability to pitch multiple innings.
"I think his arm strength has been more consistent," manager Joe Girardi said. "You're seeing the velocity out of his fastball be more 92-93 [mph] where you would see 89-92 [previously].
"It makes his slider better. It just makes all his stuff better. He's a guy that holds runners, he's athletic. It just seems like it took his arm a little bit of time to get in better shape."
Kelley has a 6.14 ERA in 14 2/3 innings, spanning 12 appearances, but has pitched cleaner ball of late and has also racked up 24 strikeouts against four walks entering Saturday.
"I'm just trying to attack and get ahead," Kelley said. "I've gotten a few more strikeouts this year than I've had in the past, but I'm not really doing anything different -- just getting more swing and misses.
"I don't really know if there's a reason for it or if guys are just being a little more aggressive, but I feel good as long as I keep getting ahead in the count. It's big for me to start 0-1. Then it's in my favor."
The Yankees' record for consecutive strikeouts in a single game is eight, set by reliever Ron Davis on May 4, 1981, against the Angels in Anaheim.

Oakland Raider arrested on firearms charge
Posted: Mar 17, 2011 2:25 PM EDT
Updated: Mar 17, 2011 5:54 PM EDT
Enlarge this picture
FORT MYERS: Lehigh Acres resident Mario Henderson was arrested after a traffic stop in downtown Fort Myers early Thursday morning, according to Fort Myers Police reports.
An officer on foot patrol in downtown Fort Myers spotted a black Impala driving north on Hendry Street playing loud music. The officer noted he could hear the music from a distance over 150-feet, a violation of a city ordinance, according to police.
Another officer spotted the vehicle and ordered the driver to pull over. The officer noted the driver wasn't wearing a seat belt and the tint on the car windows appeared to be darker than the legal limit, reports said.
When the officer spoke with the driver, Henderson, he asked if there were any weapons in the vehicle.
Henderson said there was a gun in the glove box. When he opened the glove box, the gun was not inside. The gun was actually between the driver's seat and the center console, according to reports.
A records check revealed Henderson did not have a concealed firearm permit, reports said.
The officer informed Henderson he was under arrest.
Henderson, a 6-foot 7-inch offensive tackle for the Oakland Raiders, is larger than most people. The police officer requested the Lee County Sheriff's Office's transport van to take him to the FMPD station, but it was unavailable.
The officer asked Henderson if he wanted to walk the four blocks to the station, or lay in the back seat of the patrol vehicle for the ride.
Henderson chose to lay down in the back of the patrol car.
Henderson was charged with carrying a concealed firearm and cited for failure to wear a seat belt and city ordinance violation for the loud car stereo. He was given a verbal warning for the dark tint.

So I noticed in a lot of the threads that people are often disssapointed with some of the discs they recieved because they were either too flippy, or too beefy to get the results they expected. I've experienced the same problems and it's pretty annoying when I fork out money for a new disc, take it out to the field, and realize that it's utterly useless. Then I used the magic of Google to search "is there a way to make discs more overstable?" and found this article: http://www.aerobie.com/Products/Details ... rticle.htm
The link might not work for some, since I'm posting from an iPhone, but if you Google "Tuning long range drivers for desired flight characteristics", you'll find it. I was sceptical that it would work at first, but after spending about 15 minutes bending the wing of an extremely beat-up, super flippy Vulcan, I took it out to the feild to test it. I bent the rim so much that it flew pretty much the same as a Star Max. Serious hyzer from a disc that I had given up on.
After that I "tuned" almost all the discs I had in storage and now I have so many great discs that I'm having trouble justifying buying anything new. Mid-ranges or putters are the only discs that are difficult to modify. Most fairway drivers are adjustable using this method. They just take a little more effort.
I've also read about discs that are too domey, or too flat. There's a simple way to fix that too here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bFSJYrx1V1U
I prefer to place the disc upside down on the counter and stick a cooking pot that matches the size I want to flatten, then pour some hot water into it, but his method works pretty good.

Thomas Beeley of Pole Bank.
7 comments:
There are usually maps with these sales catalogues. It would be interesting to see that, too.
- Friday, 30 November, 2012
Thomas Carter Beeley and his family were living at Bowlacre when he died on 9 June 1909 and although a near neighbour of Pole Bank, I wonder how the Beeleys acquired it, since it is well documented that the Hall was built by and for the mill-owning Ashtons. There is obviously a link between the two properties and I'm interested to know what it is.
- Saturday, 01 December, 2012
yes you are right Werneth low..Thomas Carter Beeley lived at Bowlacre and died at the young age of 40 in 1909 one year after the death of his father Thomas Beeley of Pole Bank Hall who died in 1908 aged 75 years..will send Tom a couple of photos of the Beeleys and see if he wants to put them on the blog...
- Saturday, 01 December, 2012
Thomas carter Beeleys father Thomas Beeley lived in polebank hall and passed away 1908, the year before Thomas carter Beeley died 1909.I think this is why the whole family estate came up for auction 1912...
- Saturday, 01 December, 2012
So that's it! Thank you, Dave B, for solving the mystery for me. I learnt quite a bit about the Beeleys when I was young as my mother was employed by George and Dorothy Adamson (Thomas Carter Beeley's eldest daughter). It would be good to see photos of the family. Thanks again.
- Sunday, 02 December, 2012
No problem Werneth Low...Good info on Beeleys, Google--Graces Guide--Boiler makers and then T (Thomas Beeley & son)
On another site Dorothy Adamson whom you mention (Born Beeley 1897)is also listed. Google--www.worldvitalrecords.com--Given name(leave blank) Family name (Beeley) Place (Hyde)--search--and then click on (Family Trees(46)see more). Her name pops up on page 2. When I clicked on the names of the two Thomas's I was lucky and the two photo's came up free! however for more detailed information on this site I'm afraid it may involve getting the credit card out...
- Sunday, 02 December, 2012
Thanks again, Dave. All this is very interesting. George Adamson died in 1976 and Dorothy in 1983. They had 3 children - Sally Carter Adamson, born 1928, Judith Ryder Adamson, born 1932 and John Daniel Adamson, born 1935. Wonder if they're still alive. Judy married Dr John Bennett in 1959 but I don't know more than that.

Correction: The email address to contact Keegan Russell was incorrect in an earlier version of this story.
Attention rappers! There's a rap battle league on the Central Coast. And if you got your lyrics up, you can be a part of the action.
The folks at Central Coast Chamber host a rap battle event at 4 p.m. Saturday at Stay Fly clothing store, 530 Broadway Ave., Seaside. The event is free.
Eight battles are scheduled for the event, featuring MCs from the Fresno and San Francisco Bay Area, as well as the Peninsula.
The main event pits Pacific Grove rapper Maniacal against Override, who hails from the Fresno area.
Young Sinister of Pacific Grove faces off against Inovate of Clovis. Miggi of Marina battles Chewbaccs of Seaside. Oakland rapper Ten J goes head to head with Fresno rapper Decade. And Stikk Figga of Tracy will battle Esem of Fresno.
The event is hosted by Draztik Matter and Kali. For information, see Facebook.com/ChamberBattles, Twitter.com/ChamberBattles, and YouTube.com/ChamberBattles.
Keegan "Kali" Russell and Matt "Draztik Matter" Rockwell are in charge of the league.
The two 20-year-old Seaside residents took over the league, which began in March 2012, after the founder left to focus on school.
Central Coast Chamber consists of about 12 battle rappers right now, Russell said. Several are in high school, with the youngest only 14.
"(Founder Uziel Diaz) started it up along the lines of trying to get something started for the Central Coast, some sort of music or hip-hop-related unity," Russell said. "There's a lot of people around here who rap and stuff, and there's nobody who wants to work together to do anything with it. He wanted to get something going and he's a fan of battle rap as well, so that was a good way to get a lot of people involved."
The art of battle rap is self-explanatory — rappers square off against one another trying to out-rhyme, out-smart and out-perform an opponent. For the Central Coast Chamber event, a panel of three judges will determine a winner.
The form goes back to the early days of hip-hop culture.
In the late-'70s/early '80s, old school pioneers The Cold Crush Brothers battled The Fantastic Five in one of the first popular New York City battles.
Legendary rap battles include Kool Moe Dee vs. Busy Bee and LL Cool J, Boogie Down Productions vs. Juice Crew, and Jay-Z vs. Nas.
The current battle leagues are an outgrowth of the rap battle resurgence in the past decade, fueled early on by the Jay-Z/Nas beef and Eminem's landmark film "8 Mile."
Locally, Monterey native Pete Morris, better known as The Saurus, has emerged as one of the most respected battle rappers in the world. He is a two-time champion in the Scribble Jam and World Rap Championship battle events, two of the most prestigious competitions on the battle circuit.
Russell and Rockwell look to The Saurus, as well as battle leagues like Grind Time, Kind of the Dot and Ultimate Rap League (URL) as models.
Central Coast Chamber has hosted four major events in less than a year. Russell believes the next one could be its biggest yet.
The Fresno caravan consists of rappers from that region's battle league, Power and Respect.
Rockwell said the battle format requires juggling several factors at once.
"You have to have jokes and control the crowd and know what works (for crowd response). Sometimes you don't know what works and you just gotta keep going," said Rockwell, who has been rapping for about eight years. "I feel people don't know what to do when they're under pressure sometimes. I feel this is a good thing to learn if you want to be an MC."
"You can't get nervous in a battle. It shows and everyone can see it," said Russell, who battled in the first two events. "When I went out there, I knew I was nervous. I get out there and I'm just freaking out. 'Why am I doing this?' The pressure is on. You can't just 'Eeehhhh, no. I'm good.'"
For information on the event, joining or sponsoring the league, email Russell at firstname.lastname@example.com.
