'Hawaii Five-0' Recap: Ha'i'ole
S2E1: Last season's finale of Hawaii Five-0 dropped some major bombshells, but they pale in comparison to one in Monday night's season 2 premiere.
Things started off conventionally and predictably enough: One week after the utter mayhem at the Governor Jameson's mansion, McGarrett is in jail for what appeared to be his role in the murder; Danny is an unemployed civilian; Kelly has been promoted to lieutenant; and Kono has been suspended.
We know McGarett will break out, but how? He answers that question in short order, but it takes a shanking — and not the pulling-down-the-pants variety — from a fellow inmate of whom he's not so fond (for good reason).
After he escapes the ensuing ambulance, Hawaii Five-0 temporarily becomes The Fugitive, followed by the entire now-defunct Five-0 task force trying to prove McGarett's innocence and Wo Fat's guilt. Eventually, in the form of a hidden-cam-footage tape, at least the former comes true, and the gang is back together at long last.
All seems well, and then … the aforementioned bomb droppage: (SPOILER ALERT!) Wo Fat, posing a corrections officer, kills the prisoner who stabbed McGarrett earlier and who might've known critical information about his father. And who's waiting for Wo Fat in his getaway car? Jenna Kaye. Dun-dun-dun. Book THEM, Danno! If you can …
1. That ending!!
2. The montage that opens the show, featuring Lost alum Terry O'Quinn (playing John McGarrett's former Navy SEAL buddy, here to help!).
3. This quote from the guy mentioned above: "We served together. He saved my ass more times than Id like to remember. I'm here to return the favor."
4. Kono, locked in the trunk of a car after snapping highly classified photos, jumps out like Ken Jeong in The Hangover, but with a little more a little more badassery.
5. This quote from the always comic relief-y Dr. Bergman: "Actually, Yoda technically didnt have telepathic powers."

Sometimes labels are unequivocally synonymous with value. Other times they are absolutely not. It's imperative for you to know the difference. Don't be led blindly by popularity of luxury products or services. Make educated assessments on quality and benefit. It used to be cool to purchase an item simply because you could afford it. You should no longer want to afford to be that superficial.

Dover District Council: Save Kingsdown White Cliffs beach from development
The beaches at the foot of the White Cliffs of Dover need protection. A proposed development will result in 12 large mobile beach huts spoiling the wild beach at Kingsdown. The beach is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, next to the conservation village of Kingsdown. As a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and home to rare plants and wildlife, it has been enjoyed by generations of visitors, holiday-makers and residents for its beauty, tranquility and free access. This nationally important part of the coastline with tales of smugglers, heroic rescues, Caesar's first landing and the first female swimmer to cross the Channel, ending at Kingsdown is now under threat.
If you care about Britain's beaches and its coastline, the environment and local communities, and want to protect what is precious about this White Cliffs beach, I need as many people as possible to do TWO things:
ONE: please sign this petition on Change.org
TWO: enter your comments on the DDC planning comment section of the website. I have provided an outline letter but feel free to make your own comments.
In that way, future generations may be able to enjoy this unspoilt area too. There isn't much time: deadline 15 March. For full information about this application visit the Kingsdown Conservation Group website.

Mike Ebbs
I urge you to reject the application by Tingdene Holiday Parks Ltd (DOV/12/01016) to build 12 large beach huts on Kingsdown Beach.
The string of large beach huts will ruin the wild and natural beauty of this iconic White Cliffs beach at Kingsdown. They will be built on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), where rare plants and wildlife is thriving. The beach has been enjoyed by generations of holiday-makers, visitors and residents for its beauty, tranquillity and universal access.
Please take my objection into account.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
U.S. stock markets plunged 4 percent yesterday to close at the lowest levels in nearly 12 years, sparking fresh fears of a prolonged and more severe decline.
The Dow Jones industrial average tumbled nearly 300 points, or 4.2 percent, to 6763.29, its lowest close since April 1997. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index fell to a level not seen since 1996, dropping 34 points, or 4.7 percent, to 700.82. The tech-heavy Nasdaq closed down 55 points, or 4 percent, to 1322.85.
"There's little confidence that we're going to get out of this any time soon," said Axel Merk, portfolio manager at Merk Hard Currency Fund. "We're still lacking very clear guidance. All we know is it's going to be very, very expensive."
Stocks began their slide as soon as the markets opened yesterday on news that insurance giant AIG recorded a $61.7 billion loss during the fourth quarter -- the biggest quarterly loss in U.S. corporate history. The firm said it would gain access to another $30 billion in taxpayer money as part of another restructuring of its federal bailout, and its stock ended the day flat at 42 cents a share.
The markets continued an almost steady march downward as the day wore on. The energy sector suffered the largest decline, 7.5 percent, a sign that investors think demand will remain weak and that the economy is far from recovery. Crude oil prices dropped $4.61, or 10.3 percent, to $40.15 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Financial firms finished not far behind, down nearly 6 percent. HSBC Holdings, Europe's biggest bank, was down $6.55, or about 19 percent, to $28.25 a share on the New York Stock Exchange, after the company announced profit plummeted 70 percent and that it cut its dividend. Bank of America was down 32 cents, or 8 percent, to $3.63. Sallie Mae, the nation's largest student lender, dropped 85 cents, or 18.5 percent, to $3.75.
"This is far worse than anything that we've seen, and the disturbing part of this market is the real causes of the break are still deteriorating," said David Dreman, founder of Dreman Value Management.
Markets seemed to shrug off the one piece of positive news yesterday: New government data showed consumer spending increased 0.6 percent in January compared with December, the first rise in six months, driven in part by higher gas prices. Pay raises for federal employees and the military also helped boost personal income by 0.4 percent.
Still, retail stocks were largely down yesterday -- though Family Dollar and Dollar Tree were notable exceptions, finishing up about 1 percent.
"The market is not really taking into consideration any bits of good news," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist with New York-based Avalon Partners. "It's just an ongoing downward trend."
Yesterday's dramatic losses come after the major indexes lost 4 percent last week. All 30 blue-chip stocks in the Dow closed down yesterday for the second time in less than a month, and the index has lost 23 percent of its value since the year began. Investors are bracing for more bad news later this week when the government releases monthly unemployment data.
"Bottom line is it's economic decay, and [there's] no real catalyst to turn the market around," Cardillo said.
The pain was not limited to the United States yesterday. Overseas, stock markets were hammered by massive sell-offs as well.
Italy's S&P/MIB Index contracted by 6 percent, while Switzerland's major index and Britain's FTSE 100 slid 5 percent. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng were down nearly 4 percent.

I think we already know that all three characters will be showing up in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". Heck, we even already know that Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow will figure pretty prominently into the sequel, given the film's Russian-themed storyline (ala the Winter Soldier).
Even so, it's always nice to have proof, so here they are: Scarlett Johansson's The Black Widow, Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, and Cobie Smulders' Maria Hill all on the set of Anthony and Joe Russo's currently in-production "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". Nothing spoilery at all, for you spoiler-phobes out there, so feel free to take a gander, take a ganderers.
The sequel finds the good Captain (Chris Evans) struggling to "embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C." That "shadowy enemy" could very well be his old pal Bucky, since revived as the titular Winter Soldier.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" will also star Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Emily VanCamp, Robert Redford, Frank Grillo, and Georges St-Pierre.
Battling it out next April 4, 2014.

Typhoon Ondoy Floods – Philippines Caught Unprepared
The recent typhoon named locally as Ondoy hit the Philippines with unexpected strength. Actually, the news I've read about it claims that the amount of rain is equal to twice that of hurricane Katrina in the United States.
Also, PAGASA mentioned that it may be considered the worst ever in our history so you can just imagine how terrible the experience was for the victims. I am living up north of Metro Manila so there was really no flooding in my area and adjacent locations.
But 80% of the Metro was actually drowned with floods as high as 3 meters in Marikina which I presume is badly hit. Although the news in GMA and ABS-CBN reported similar incidents in Pasig and eastern parts of Metro Manila, Marikina seems to have received the worst scenarios. I did not know that much of these disasters can happen overnight and we only saw them in the news Sunday morning since the whole day of Saturday September 26 was a total blackout due to widespread power outage. I hope you are all fine. This footage from Youtube Typhoon Ondoy is just one proof of what our countrymen experienced during the ordeal.
The shocking events in the Philippines also sent some news abroad which lead to famous people donating and helping as much as they could. The Philippine National Red Cross, SSS, GSIS and even the staff of the Malacanang Palace arranged for some relief goods to be distributed to the victims. I heard based on the last counts there are 240 dead already. I hope this will never happen again only if the people will realize how nature tends to hit us back because of our abuse of it.Another low pressure area was seen east of the Philippines, let us all pray that about our safety.

Expanded scouting department made deal easy
Expanded scouting department made deal easy
An expanded professional scouting department -- one that has seen eight new hires since A.J. Hinch took over as vice president of the department -- played a very integral role in identifying and heavily scrutinizing the two players the Padres received in the trade.
Hinch said the Padres had upwards of nine different looks at pitchers Robbie Erlin and Joe Wieland while they were pitching in the Rangers' system, with more than a handful of different scouts filing evaluations on the two players.
That wouldn't have been as easy before.
"If we would not have had the resources, we would not have had this many evaluations," Hinch said. "Half of our staff saw them at one time or another. The size of the staff and the commitment to pro scouting played a big role."
Hinch said the Padres had something else working in their favor in regards to scouting Erlin and Wieland -- the two have been teammates for most of the season. They played together in Myrtle Beach of the South Atlantic League and were later promoted to the Texas League with Frisco.
"It was pretty thorough. All of us saw them at different times, some good nights and not too many of us saw them on bad nights," Hinch said. "And as we got closer to the Trade Deadline, and we focused our attention on certain players, the more guys saw them."
There was a lot to like with both players, Hinch said.
"Our job is to build a file on each player we see," Hinch said. "What you find is that you pull out a lot of similarities. A lot of us saw the same strengths and weaknesses.
"Our grades on the two were pretty much a consensus. Some guys liked Erlin more than Wieland. But some guys liked Wieland more than Erlin. I'm not sure I ever asked [San Diego general manager Jed Hoyer] who he liked better."
Erlin, a 20-year-old left-hander, got a no-decision in his first start in the Padres system on Tuesday with Double-A San Antonio last week. He tossed six scoreless innings and had six strikeouts. He's a combined 8-4 with a 3.18 ERA in 21 games this season.
Wieland, a 21-year-old right-hander, also earned a no-decision in his first start with San Antonio, allowing one run in six innings with seven strikeouts.
He's a combined 10-3 with a 1.79 ERA in 22 games this season, including a no-hitter two days before the Trade Deadline -- against his future team, the Missions.
"We knew our bullpen was always going to be popular with other teams, so we started scouting those teams based on their need for relievers," Hinch said. "We did that with a lot of players we didn't acquire. We didn't just focus on these guys."
In the end, though, the Padres feel like they got the players they wanted, even if it meant parting with Adams.
"They're good prospects, but right now they're still prospects. They've got development left," Hinch said. "We feel good about their probability and chance for being starters in the big leagues."

Should Penn State Get the 'Death Penalty'?
After the investigation into the cover-up of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal at Penn State, some analysts believe that the university's football program should be temporarily shut down.
"If they play football come September, at Penn State, something's wrong," sports newscaster Bob Costas said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
The investigative report, conducted by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, showed that top officials at Penn State, including Head Coach Joe Paterno, were aware of assistant coach Sandusky's crimes, but chose to keep them a secret to protect the football program from an embarrassing scandal.
Sandusky was protected, Costas said, because of the power of Paterno.
"Eventually, over time, he built up such power, that there was no oversight."
If Sandusky were a sociology professor and Paterno were his department chair, Costas analogized, the incident never would have happened, because a sociology department chair does not have enough influence to keep university leaders from contacting Child Protective Services.
Costas believes that the current Penn State leaders should suspend the football program for at least a year. But if they do not, he believes the NCAA will suspend the program, an action sometimes called the "death penalty."
In a panel discussion on ABC's "This Week," conservative columnist George Will argued that division I college football has an inherently corrupting influence on college campuses and stands in opposition to the mission of a university.
"We have grafted a multi-billion dollar entertainment industry onto higher education," Will said, "it is inherently discordant with the mission of the university, it is inherently corrupting. You're going to get this, and elsewhere, different forms of corruption, but always forms of corruption, because big time football has no business on college campuses."
Democratic strategist James Carville, though, strongly objected to giving Penn State the "death penalty," calling it a "really dumb idea."
"Lives have been ruined, so the answer to it – let's go out and ruin more lives," Carville complained.
Current players, vendors and hotel owners would also be impacted by a football suspension, Carville explained.
Costas responded to this criticism by saying, "there's always collateral damage when justice is meted out," but there are ways to limit that damage. Current players, for instance, could be allowed to transfer without having to wait a year to play or their scholarships could be extended a year.
ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd, a Catholic, compared the situation to the sex abuse scandals in the Catholic Church.
"If you took Jerry Sandusky and ... put the word 'priest' and ... Joe Paterno and substituted the word 'bishop' – it's the exact same thing. What you have is an institutional, corrupt, problem. Basically, the end of the institution becomes more important than the people involved."

The United States supports Lebanon's efforts to move forward on oil exploration, Energy Minister Gebran Bassil said in remarks published Tuesday.
"Lebanon received renewed U.S. support to move forward on oil exploration and implement all the approved measures," Bassil told the local daily As-Safir.
Bassil's comments came following a meeting at his office Monday with a senior State Department delegation comprising Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Diplomacy Amos Hochstein and Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Lawrence Silverman.
Bassil said the U.S. officials praised him for his efforts and hailed his ministry's levels of "transparency and professionalism in meeting the highest international standards."
"I met them for two hours and there was a clear encouragement and praise for all the work done by the [Energy] Ministry," he said.
As-Safir said it learned that Bassil stressed during the meeting Lebanon's right to its full economic boundaries as well as its right over the disputed maritime territory with Israel.
A statement released by the U.S. Embassy in Beirut said the U.S. delegation discussed during separate meetings with senior officials Monday the political, economic and security situation in Lebanon, in addition to regional issues.
Before meeting Bassil, the delegation met President Michel Sleiman, Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Najib Mikati.
"In their meetings, Mr. Hochstein and Mr. Silverman expressed their support for the Lebanese government's efforts to implement fair and transparent regulations for Lebanon's energy sector, and discussed Lebanon's maritime exclusive economic zone," the Embassy statement said.
It said the U.S. officials also underscored Washington's commitment to assist refugees from Syria and the Lebanese communities that host them.
"They also welcomed the efforts of Lebanese leaders to reach consensus and uphold Lebanon's democratic and constitutional principles and hold parliamentary elections on time," the Embassy statement said.
Fears are running high in Lebanon that parliamentary elections, due on June 9, may not be held on time given the political parties' failure to reach consensus on a new law voting system.
The State Department officials also renewed calls for all parties to exercise restraint and respect for Lebanon's stability and security.

Congresswoman claims a Filner groping (years ago)
Former San Diego mayor allegedly went in for a kiss
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., Nov. 20
Can't get tickets for Comic-Con? Lucky you! Instead of being taken at the Con, drop in on the double feature of double-crosses opening Friday at Landmark's Ken Cinema.
Godard in 35mm? You should have already purchased tickets. A double feature of Godard and Melville in 35mm? There should be a line of lawn chairs loaded with guys and gals wearing fedoras and dangling Gitanes snaking around the corner in anticipation of Friday's 1:50pm showing of Le Petit Soldat and Un Flic.
Fortunately the Ken didn't throw away its antique booth equipment and both lovingly restored films will screen in 35mm.
How many more times is this town likely to experience 35mm revivals? I beg that you encourage this type of behavior by catching this combo before it skips town.
As for the big Con, I've never had the energy to write a piece on San Diego's annual tribute to everything that's wrong with contemporary cinema. This piece by Danny Baldwin at Critic Speak comes close to echoing my deep-seated disapproval.
Click to open my review of the Melville. You emo Twi-hards enjoy the Smurfs, and Wolverines, and all the Cosplay. Frankly, I was surprised to hear that he was still touring in his one-man show.
I'm envious, so should more movie addicts....(sigh) I live near a city that should try harder to do right by the movie starved fans. The Dallas Film Society is currently trying to kill our enthusiasm for more adventurous cinema revivals. Their recent slate for the month in the "Cinemark Classic Series" is "Back to the Future" on the 14th & 17th, "Animal House" on the 21st & 24th, "American Graffiti" (don't have a brain aneurysm, Marks it's the only Lucas film on their schedule) on the 28th and 31st, "Ghostbusters" on the 4th & 7th of August, and lastly for the pantheon of cinema of ye forgotten lore, "Dirty Dancing" on the 11th & 14th. Bleak stuff considering you can rent any one of those and watch it at home (sans 40 foot screen, big sound and audience reactions). To set you off on your near fatal stroke, I should mention that they're BIG into Speilberg, so much so they dedicated their four movies of June to him.
Maybe we don't have it so bad in San Diego after all. Ironically, the only great film you mention is "AmGraf."
I want you to tear it all down.

Subject: Shadrack ODOM
Date: Sun, 5 Jan 1997 17:46:46 -0500
It looks like another of my lines might stem from the Orangeburgh area.
I've just received a message from a fellow Odom researcher who says that
a Shadrack or Shadrach Odom lived in Orangeburgh District and fought in
the Revolutionary War. He married Millie Breland or Breeland; they had at
least one son, William Odom. Shadrack Odom died sometime between 1785 and
1790, and Millie remarried Matthew Cook. Sometime around 1810, a group of
Odoms and Breelands left Orangeburgh and migrated across Georgia and
Alabama to Mississippi and Louisiana. Thus they are probably related to
my Odom line of Louisiana, but I'd like to prove it if possible.
Does anyone on this list have information on Shadrack Odom, or on any
other Odom or Breeland in Orangeburgh?
Thanks -- Mark James <>

|Comparison of the Safety, Efficacy, and Feasibility of Medical Abortion Provided by Physicians and Non-physicians in Nepal: a Randomized Controlled, Equivalence Trial.
- Complete abortion [ Time Frame: 30 days ]The primary outcome measure was a successful (complete) abortion, defined as no ongoing pregnancy at clinical examination and no surgical intervention necessary.
- Complications from medical abortion [ Time Frame: 30 days ]Defined as life-threatening events requiring hospitalization: haemorrhage requiring a blood transfusion, hospitalization (iv fluids, iv antibiotics), or laparatomy for ectopic pregnancies.

|Assigned Interventions
Midlevel provider
Patients were assigned to a midlevel provider (arm 1) or to a physician (arm 2) for their abortion.
Other: Type of provider
Different types of clinicians have different types of medical training. This study tested whether midlevel providers were as safe and effective in administering medical abortion as doctors. All types of providers underwent the same training in medical abortion and used the same medical abortion regimen.
Physician arm
Patients were assigned to a midlevel provider (arm 1) or to a physician (arm 2) for their abortion.
Other: Type of provider
Different types of clinicians have different types of medical training. This study tested whether midlevel providers were as safe and effective in administering medical abortion as doctors. All types of providers underwent the same training in medical abortion and used the same medical abortion regimen.
Detailed Description:
Each year, some 210 million women throughout the world become pregnant and nearly one in five chooses to terminate the pregnancy (Singh et al., 2009). Approximately, 22 million pregnancies are terminated unsafely; of these, the vast majority (98%) take place in developing countries (WHO, Forthcoming). Access to safe abortion services is a challenge for many women with unwanted pregnancies in developing countries because of restrictive legislation, a shortage of skilled staff or other barriers.
Non-surgical methods of abortion, known as medical abortion, have been developed that use safe and effective drug-based methods for induced abortion. Prescribing authority is generally limited to doctors, however. As a result, medical abortion remains under-utilized and is often inaccessible for many women in developing countries seeking public sector providers trained in medical abortion in areas where there are no doctors.
Midlevel providers (non-physician clinicians such as nurses and midwives) have the potential to provide accessible, low-cost, and safe abortion services in many countries, especially in the developing world. They are more cost-effective to employ than doctors and often work in areas where doctors are in short supply, providing much needed health services to under-served areas while conserving resources. Training midlevel providers in the independent provision of medical abortion with appropriate referral systems would expand access to safe abortion services to lower levels of the health care system where there is no doctor and complement a global health systems trend towards task-shifting where doctors are costly and scarce (WHO, 2007).
The overall objective of the study is to obtain evidence on the safety and effectiveness of medical abortions performed by government trained and certified midlevel providers and physicians to inform policy makers interested in or committed to expanding and decentralizing medical abortion services.

Another application was filed in the Supreme Court (SC) for the recovery of a missing prisoner on Wednesday.
The petitioner alleged that Jamshed Raza, aged 53, was abducted by intelligence agency officials from Bahawalpur Jail. Tariq Asad, the counsel for Raza's relatives, prayed to the court to take up the case along with the case of 11 missing prisoners from Adiala Jail, since the incidents were similar.
Raza was one of the suspects in a case regarding the attempt to murder former president Pervez Musharraf.
In the petition, Asad said that a weak FIR was registered against the abduction and the culprits' names were not included in it.
The petition further stated that Raza was acquitted of all charges levelled against him but was abducted outside the jail by officials of secret agencies.

SHERIDAN — The musical, artistic and culinary talents of Sheridan Junior High students will be on display in early April at the fifth annual Art Extravaganza. The Extravaganza is held annually at the SAGE Exhibit Gallery at the Sheridan College Main Street location.
"This is a truly wonderful event that shows the combined hard work of this year's junior high sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders," said Mary Lawson, an art teacher at SJHS. "This is a collaborative effort made possible by our junior high teachers and students in conjunction with the SAGE Art Gallery."
Students will begin setting up their art on April 3 and a reception will be held Thursday, April 10 from 5:30-7 p.m. The event will feature music and singing by students as well a sampling of finger foods created by the school's food classes.
"I'll have 50 students that will be doing the cooking," said Sandy Birkholz, family and consumer science teacher at SJHS. "They all will make some food. Then there will be probably eight or 10 that help out at the Extravaganza."
Birkholz said the classes will provide punch at the reception, as well as appetizers such as truffles and roll-ups.
"We have a new batch of kids coming in at the quarter and that is 10 days into the quarter, so it is quick training," she added. "What they really like to do is carry around the trays and pretend they are working in a restaurant! We enjoy it."
In addition to music and art, SJHS music students will provide a variety of music at the reception as well.
"In years past I used to just do a choir thing downstairs, but last year I invited Doug Moore and his band students to perform too," said SJHS teacher Tony Sawyer, who teaches choir, guitar and piano. "We take turns having students do different solos. These are volunteer students who want to do this."
Sawyer said the event is not only a showcase for student talent, but has been attended in the past couple years by other SJHS students who come to look at the art, listen to the music and socialize with friends.
The event is free and open to public. The show will run through April 30.

AMHERST — Amherst withstood a wild and woolly ending Saturday and came away with a 3-2 win over Southwestern Conference foe Avon Lake in a Division I boys district soccer final.
With their first-ever district championship, the Comets
(10-7-2) advance to a regional semifinal against North Royalton on Tuesday at Bay High at 7 p.m. The Bears defeated Strongsville 1-0 in a Brunswick district final Saturday.
Amherst played in a district final in 1992 but lost that game, which came one season after coach Brett Thompson graduated from the school.
"This truly was an unbelievable game," Thompson said. "I didn't think that it could top our district semifinal win over Westlake (a 1-0 decision after three rounds of penalty kicks). There was a big scramble at the end and that had me worried that we would go overtime."
"Things were really crazy at the end," Comets senior goalie Ryan Tucker said. "I got to the ball, took my six seconds and punted it harmlessly away."
Avon Lake coach Dan Ogilvy obviously was disappointed with the final outcome and the failure to get the tying goal at the end.
"We had our chances to equalize things and probably go to overtime," said Ogilvy, whose team finished the season 8-8-3. "Unfortunately, Amherst was able to withstand our pressure and to advance."
Junior Chris Schmittle of the Comets scored what proved to be the game-winning goal in the 70th minute after the teams played a scoreless first half.
Schmittle's game-winner came when he found Avon Lake's goalie out of position and rifled the ball into the net for the unassisted goal.
"The Shoremen tried to drop the ball back to their goalie," Schmittle said. "I got to it before the goalie could and ripped it by him with my left foot."
The Comets scored the game's first two goals in a little over five minutes early in the second half. Senior Chad Schroeder, with an assist from Lee Ferber, buried the ball in the lower-left corner of the goal 1:19 into the second half from about 10 yards out.
Ferber put the district champions up 2-0 with an unassisted goal five minutes later when he drilled a left-foot shot into the net from 10 yards away.
Avon Lake senior captain Nick Siko cut Amherst's lead in half with his unassisted goal from close range in the 65th minute.
Four minutes after Schmittle's game-winner, Siko successfully converted a penalty kick, booting the ball low and hard into the net after he was apparently fouled in the box.
"Avon Lake was well-prepared for this game," said Thompson, whose team's win avenges a 2-1 home loss to the Shoremen on Sept. 3. "We needed the plays that we made to win in a game that I was really happy to have two Lorain County teams playing in.
"I push heart and compassion for team chemistry. I really don't want our season to end. I'm very proud of our coaching staff. I hope we can get this far in the tournaments every year."
"The Comets did what they had to do to win this game," Ogilvy said. "The ball didn't bounce our way. Hopefully, we will take this as a learning experience."

GOALS: (AL) Nick Siko 2; (A) Chad Schroeder, Lee Ferber, Chris Schmittle

ohh i love freddos!!
am i the only one who read this and thought i better take out another credit card? the kids are going to want everything, we are huge HP fans, its one of the ways i persuaded dh to take another trip we really honestly cant afford - the kids ll freak in the morning, they are soooo excited
thanks for sharing
p.s deb, do you read the sentinel on line every day?
Please, please let the WW of HP be open by May 2010! I promise to be good until then
Piglet- I'm sooooo with you on that one- we go 3rd-17th may pleeeeeeeeeease let it be open then
I have not read a UK newspaper for 2-3 years now, often look at BBC website but read Orlando Sentinel site at least twice a day. News about Florida is far more interesting than UK news.
Can't wait to see this, it's really starting to sound good.
Oh, any word on the rumour of a possible staggered opening (Hogsmead opening Dec 2009, Hogwarts and main ride opening 2010)?
I admit to having a vested interest as I'm ove in March 2010.
I'm the complete opposite of most of you in this thread! I hate Harry Potter with a passion and I really hope it doesn't open while I'm there in May! Not bothered if it's open before then but I expect it'll bring alot of crowds!
Wouldn't say I hate HP but never read the books and only saw 2 of the films before losing interest, not watched last few films at all.
Yeah, I watched the 1st one, I think, didn't watch it the whole way through as found it boring but I just don't get the hype I think possibly because it began when I was a teen and it just wasn't cool to like Harry Potter. Not really high on my agenda these days but still think it's over-rated. It'll be cool to see a new area in Universal but doubt I'll spend any time in it!
I hope for everyone here that it's open in the first half of the year, although I feel really bad as I have a convinced a friend to postpone plans and travel later in the year as I told her I didn't think it would be open in time for her planned May trip!! OH NO!!!
Fingers crossed! If we miss out though it will be another reason to go back again
I can't wait, not planning my trip in 2010 until I know when its opening.
We're on for May 2010 too, and my Dad's a massive HP fan, so I'd love for it to be open so he can see it all.
It's looking promising, but I'm not counting my chickens...just yet!
We have decided for our trip next year we will probably book 2 nights at universal at the start of the trip before heading over to WDW (that way we get front of the line access and it saves our friends 2 nights worth of DVC points which are a lot for a 2 bedroomed villa over the Christmas/New Year week!) I do enjoy Harry Potter and I am looking forward to seeing the new area, but I can't help but think it is going to be a bit of a let down. If they are retheaming 2 of the rides (one of which is already a major coaster) then I can't help but think that apart from the rumoured robocoaster and a special effects thing then apart from the theaming of buildings there actually isn't going to be that much new attraction wise in there. Due to the fact that it is taking so long to build people are going to be expecting something major in there, and I get the feeling they hype might not reflect the true new contents. Having said that, like I said we will be visiting it and I hope I am prooved wrong.
Separate names with a comma.

In this case we write a article about the removal instruction for Blitz Media Player. Do notice that Blitz Media Player is not a virus or adware. But it does act like a Potentially Unwanted Program. We got a lot of questions from customers who installed Blitz Media Player on their computer without notice. This is because Blitz Media Player comes bundled with known adware contained custom installers from Download.com and CNET. The CNET custom installer is where we got Blitz Media Player installed. If you try to decline Blitz Media Player during installation of the free software you are trying to download, the whole installation quits. Even the free software is not installed. This behavior might vary from customs installer.
You are being forced to install the offered application if you want to try the free software you originally trying to install. Therefor this removal instruction for Blitz Media Player.
Also we added 3 free tools to remove additional offered adware that is also forced to be installed onto your computer. We use AdwCleaner and Junkware Removal tool for detection and removal of adware on your computer system and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware to remove any left over infections. Both AdwCleaner and Junkware Removal Tool are known adware removal tools and just as MalwareBytes Anti-Malware completely free of charge.

'If you've got a business—you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
Despite President Obama's effort to walk back these remarks, the damage they've caused to him remains. And that's because what he said in Roanoke, Va., on July 13 came across as a true expression of his worldview.
The president's vivid words did not come out of nowhere. While pushing for higher taxes on upper-income people, Mr. Obama often refers to the wealthy as "fortunate" (such as at a Democratic National Committee event last September) and "incredibly blessed" (at a campaign event on July 23). Translation: Successful people don't really deserve to keep what they earn.
"You didn't build that" is not Mr. Obama's only recent problematic statement. In a June 8 news conference, he said "The private sector is doing fine. Where we're seeing weaknesses in our economy have to do with state and local government." And in Oakland, Calif., on July 24, he told donors that on the economy, "We tried our plan and it worked!" These comments make voters wince.
Every candidate stumbles verbally, but in 2008 Mr. Obama did so less frequently than most. He was disciplined, on message, and gave his opponent few openings. So what is different this time?
One factor may be overscheduling. Mr. Obama has attended an extraordinary 195 fundraisers in the 16 months since he filed for re-election on April 4, 2011 (according to CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller). Many people don't fully appreciate how much of a drain it is on a candidate—involving travel, a speech or two, private meetings with particularly energetic (or obnoxious) money bundlers, and always plenty of advice. Most fundraisers also include a long photo line where the candidate grips and grins for dozens, sometimes hundreds, of photographs.
I observed first-hand how difficult it was to wedge 86 fundraisers onto President George W. Bush's calendar over the 14.5 months from May 16, 2003 (when he filed for re-election) through July 2004. In comparison, it is astonishing how much time Mr. Obama has spent scrabbling for cash.

That's not all. You need to add to the fundraising calendar an early and very active campaign schedule as well. Remember last August's three-day bus trip through the Midwest? And then there are the demands of Mr. Obama's day job.
In short, the president may be nearly exhausted. If he is, the normal inner discipline that protects a candidate from saying too much, being too blunt, or sharing too openly may be weakening.
Despite the scramble for money, Mr. Obama's campaign fundraising take is behind its 2008 pace, and its overhead is enormous (according to monthly FEC filings by his campaign and the Democratic National Committee). His cash advantage over Mr. Romney was probably gone as of July 31, in large measure because (according to public records at TV stations) Team Obama has spent at least $131 million on television the last three months.
These ads have not moved him up in the polls. The race is tied in the July 30 Gallup poll at 46%. Neither have the ads strengthened public approval of Mr. Obama's handling of the economy, which is stuck at 44% in the July 22 NBC/WSJ poll, nor have they erased Mr. Romney's seven-point lead in that poll regarding who has "good ideas for how to improve the economy."
Roughly $111 million of Mr. Obama's ad blitz was paid for by his campaign; outside groups chipped in just over $20 million. The Romney campaign spent only $42 million over the same period in response, with $107.4 million more in ads attacking Mr. Obama's policies or boosting Mr. Romney coming from outside groups (with Crossroads GPS, a group I helped found, providing over half).
Mr. Obama's strategists know they won in 2008 in large part by outspending their opponents in the primaries and general election. They've tried that with Mr. Romney the last three months, and so far it isn't working. Still, just this week, according to public records, Team Obama has bought an additional $32 million in ads in nine battleground states for August.
Unanswered television ads do move poll numbers, as was the case in 2008. But these Obama ads won't go unanswered.
The response by the Romney campaign and Romney supporters will be amplified by the reality of a painfully weak economy, growing debt and unpopular ObamaCare. More fundraisers will not solve that problem, but they will create opportunities for a weary candidate to make more revealing and damaging statements.
Mr. Rove is the former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to President George W. Bush.

Steven Seagal : Aikido Article
Steven Seagal, a 7th Dan black belt, began the practice of Aikido in the late 1960's (or early 1970's) at the Orange County Aikikai in California under Harry Ishisaka. Prior to that, he had been studying Karate under Fumio Demura.
NOTE: Harry Ishisaka (c. 1929-1978) was an early instructor in Orange County California area who contributed greatly to the development of aikido in Southern California. Affiliated with Koichi Tohei through the late 1970s, then became independent. Well known for being first Aikido teacher of Steven Seagal, he was chief instructor of Orange County Aikikai until his death.
For an interesting review/tribute of Take Sensei by his Sempai and others, buy the video direct from his website.
Interview for Shambala Sun with screenwriter Stanley Weiser. Also, see Other INFORMATION about Steven Seagal onWorld Tibet News.
Seagal Sensei studied under Koichi Tohei (another for Orange County, California) in the summer of 1974 before traveling to Japan shortly thereafter. Seagal separated from Tohei's organization and assumed direction of the Aikikai-Hombu-affailiated Tenshin Aikido Dojo in Osaka which was owned by his Japanese wife's parents. He was rapidly promoted to 5th dan in consideration of his position as chief instructor of the dojo and was eventually awarded 6th dan. Steven Seagal operates a dojo in Hollywood, California [it has been stated that Seagal doesn't appear much anymore at his dojo and it is run by one of his black belt instructors, though it professes Seagal's style].
From Seagal Sensei's website:
"Seagal was born in Detroit and raised in Southern California. His interest in martial arts began at age seven. After discovering a Japanese dojo in a neighboring town, he began studying Aikido, long considered the most difficult and spiritual of the martial arts disciplines. A decade later Seagal moved to Japan and established a reputation as a master of martial arts. He became the first non-Asian to organize his own dojo in Tokyo, one that, with over 2,000 students, remains in operation today.
"Seagal serves as CEO of Steamroller Productions, his Los Angeles based production company which is involved in the development, production, financing and marketing of TELEVISION and motion picture product."
Dojo Address:
Tenshin Dojo
8505 Santa Monica Blvd.
West Hollywood, CA 90029, USA
[The above is from
The Aiki News Encyclopedia of Aikido
(C) 1991 by Stanley A. Pranin.]
Bits And Pieces:
Sensei Seagal holds black belts in Karate, Aikido and Kenjutsu and has also studied Judo, Kali, Kendo, Eastern Philosophy, Shinto Religion, and the Holistic Arts (including Acupuncture, Herbology and Calligraphy).
Seagal is a Shodan in ****oryu Karate and has trained briefly under Master Fumio Demura.
He received his 1st dan in Aikido from Koichi Toheiin Orange County in the summer of 1974.
In 1975, Steven Seagal became the first American instructor to open a Aikido Dojo in Japan.
Seagal began his movie career as a fight and weapons coordinator.
Take Sensei's daughter is an actress named Ayako Faith Fujitani. There were in The Patriot together. She was listed as Ayako Seagal.
Shihan Steven Seagal is known as Shigemichi Take(which means: "Warrior who will prosper").
Steven Seagal's directing debut film was On Deadly Ground.
There is a rumor that Steven Seagal used to be involved in the CIA. There has been no evidence to warrant or disclaim it. [ Seagal personally states that he may have had a friend while in Japan, who asked him to do a favor, and who just happened to work for the CIA. Whether or not this was a personal favor on a sanctioned mission, an official extension through his friend to perform a service for the CIA, or simply a matter of helping a friend exclusive from the CIA operations division, is up for speculation and only further enhances Seagal's mystique. Whatever that favor was, it was not in his best interest to state openly, and may or may not be classified.]
Steven Seagal was born on April 10, 1952, in Lansing Michigan. His mother was a medical technician and his father was a high school math teacher. When Steven was 5 the family moved to Fullerton, CA. At age 7, Steven became inerested in the martial arts and discovered a Japanese dojo in nearby Garden Grove, and began studying Aikido. Steven attended Buena Park High School, then Orange Coast College and finally, Fullerton College.
In 1971, two years after the death of O'Sensei, Morihei Ueshiba, founder of Aikido) Steven left for Japan to study with the Masters in: Zen, Buddhism and Aikido. In 1975 he married and continued to live in Japan where he eventually inherited a dojo from his Japanese father-in-law. In the Aikido world he adopted the name Shigemichi Take (Take being his father-in-law's name). Seagal claims to have lived in Asia for many years and had become close to several CIA agents. He also met powerful people and did special favors for them.
Seagal returned to the United States in 1987, where he set up a martial-arts school, the Tenshin Dojo, in West Hollywood. With the help of his guardian angel, Mike Ovitz, Seagal made his acting debut with 1988's Above The Law. This was followed by several more successful films, including the successful Under Siegeand Out For Justice(which he also wrote).
Steven Seagal says about Above the Lawthat, "I was lucky in that I got to play me." Above the Lawwas, to some extent, autobiographical. Seagal claims not only to have been involved in security operations for the deposed Shah of Iran, but to have worked security for Bishop Tutu and the late Anwar Sadat. Accounts of his CIA involvement have been disputed over the years, but that would be standard fair anyway, for the CIA or associated agencies.
A stern-looking martial arts wizard who studied and later taught his craft in Japan, Seagal got his feet wet in motion pictures as a fight coordinator on John Frankenheimer's The Challenge (1982) and later set up a popular martial arts school in West Hollywood. He caught the attention of Michael Ovitz (then head of Creative Artists Agency) who arranged a martial arts demonstration for Warner Brothers president Terry Semel. Impressed by Seagal, Ovitz arranged a screen test and he was somewhat unexpectedly catapulted to action stardom. His first feature was the low-budget, urban cop drama Above The Law (1988), for which he provided the story, served as producer, and played a CIA operative in Vietnam who later exposes the corruption of Chicago government officials.
Seagal cemented his popularity as an avenging action hero with the follow-up action/Aikido films Marked For Death, Hard To Kill(both 1990), and Out For Justice (1991), in which his larger-than-life presence alternates between meditative serenity and vigilante violence. His persona represented an odd mix of the mainstreaming of Chinese and trendy New Age philosophizing with the contemporary taste for good guys who seemed sinister and yet satisfied an increasing taste for simplified notions of instant justice in a troubled US, justified heroes who enjoy dispatching their enemies in as dispassionate a manner as possible.
The canny, pony-tailed actor has enhanced his mystique by creating a public image shrouded in mystery and surrounded by speculation about his possible past links with the CIA. Although critics have carped at Seagal's modest acting abilities, Janet Maslin of The New York Timeshas summed up as the aspects of his star persona:
"What Mr. Seagal offers is a clever, uncategorizable hybrid of physical prowess, fortune-cookie wisdom, law-and-order politics, street-smart bravado and, above all, the confident insouciant manner of a natural-born star."
[ Aside from this somewhat offensive way of expressing what Seagal does (i.e., fortune-cookie wisdom), the previous paragraph is indeed a clear picture of Seagal's typical storylines.] Seagal earned mainstream status with Under Siege (1992), a Die Hard-style thriller that grossed over $80 million. Its villains were played with relish by Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey and it possessed welcome moments of deadpan humor. Seagal followed up this success with his directorial debut, On Deadly Ground(1994), a well-intentioned eco-thriller featuring Seagal as Alaska's last hope.
The inevitable sequel to his earlier smash, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory(1995), followed, with the inscrutable but increasingly accepted star receiving the occasional kudo for some lively action scenes. Indeed, although many critics found Seagal to be unchanged for his "guest star" supporting turn in the Kurt Russell actioner Executive Decision(1995), some found his cool dispatch [near the beginning] to constitute some of the best moments of his career to date.
"It doesn't work if the bad guys kill his mother's uncle's friend's neighbor's pet dog. You've got to make the stakes high."
--Steven Seagal, explaining why the hero's woman must get shot.

One of the very fundamental problems in cheminformatics is the decomposition of complex ringsystems into sets of rings. While chemists usually have a very clear picture in mind of what rings a molecule consists, the classical algorithms for ring decomposition had their difficulties in matching these expectations for certain classes. Naphthalene has to two rings, sure, but what about adamantane or cubane? What about macrocycles with para-substituted rings?
The existing solutions (SSSRs, RCs, RCPs) were either not unique (depend on the atom order) or not chemically meaningful in all cases. About five years ago, we presented the Unique Ring Families model (URFs) and showed that it is unique and chemically meaningful. Furthermore, we presented an efficient, polynomial-time algorithm for its computation. Unfortunately, this is very tough to implement. So we decided to develop an easy-to-use open source library for URF calculation. It is under New BSD license, so free to use and integrate for everybody. Hopefully, we were able to contribute in making cheminformatics software a little bit more unique in answering questions like 'Hey, to how many rings does this atom here belong?'.

4 or 5 ton systems should be multi-stage...
Despite the passing of Regional Efficiency Standards, International Code requirements for Load Calculations and Equipment Selection, tighter homes and duct systems, I cannot see the likelihood of grossly over-sized equipment going down! The significant problem at hand is that HVAC Contractors are either going to use the system design process, or not.
In the meantime, Regional Standards are pushing Manufacturers into finding ways to make their systems more efficient. Other than variable refrigerant flow (VRF), I am not sure what a manufacturer can do to increase the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). In fact, some manufacturers and distributors have reported their variable capacity systems have actually tested, in a laboratory, lower EER than their two-stage and even single-stage counterparts. We have seen the increased use of Electronic Expansion Valves (EEV) to maintain the lowest possible superheats in the industry. Even increasing the physical size of Evaporator and Condenser coils in attempts to pick up/reject more heat. This is all putting the burden on the contractor to find the room for installation, as well as finding systems that can deliver the latent capacity needed in the replacement market.
So, I propose this: Why don't we require any 4 or 5 ton system be multiple stage or variable capacity? This can address the significant over-sizing issue so often seen in the HVAC Industry. After all, a study completed in 2006 by the Florida Solar Energy Center: "Measured Impacts of Proper Air Conditioning Sizing..." found little electrical savings for homeowners when replacing systems 47 - 65% oversized. There is still significant peak energy savings to Electric Providers, hence the enforcement of proper sizing with most Utility Rebate Programs. I wonder what those savings to the homeowner would have been if they just installed a multi or variable capacity system? This code enhancement could change the industry significantly in future years, keeping the focus away from bigger coils and higher efficiency, but still pushing the contractor to proper sizing and equipment commissioning. Yes, two-stage equipment costs more! So you should size the equipment correctly to avoid these extra costs, increasing your bids. Trust me, I have inspected as much as hundreds of A/C installations a year, for almost five years now, in a local utility rebate program. Almost never do I see an installation or replacement system larger than a 3-ton. Less than 10% of my inspected systems are larger, and almost always multi or variable capacity. Customers still report increased comfort and reduced energy use. Let's push efficiency using correctly sized, multiple capacity for the 4 or 5 ton systems, not physically larger units!
Views: 412
The FSEC studies are good, but using a 2006 study seven or eight years later when newer technology exists and had not been factored into the older study - may add some bias.
Did you really mean "keeping the focus away from bigger coils and higher efficiency" right sizing the capacity should not mean downsizing the efficiency. You really want the right capacity with the most efficient unit if you are trying to maximize the energy reductions. If the point is to optimize the cost - unfortunately that might mean to oversize the system...(cheapest system). and then quickly sell and move out of the house :-)
I question the study of replacing the oversized systems. Often ductwork is WAY too small and the oversized systems is not delivering it's rated capacity. Putting in a smaller unit matches the smaller ductwork better, and the savings are more significant than the study shows.
While we're at it lets quit doing furnaces over 80k. Very few regions of the country require a furnace over 80k, most regions can go with a 40-60k in all but the largest homes. Yet 80-100k furnaces are routinely installed when heat less is 1/2 to 1/3 of that. High limits trip, heat exchangers crack, customer complain about wide temperature fluctuations.
Don't get me started on ductwork that rarely delivers the the high BTU performance of these monster sized HVAC units !!

What do you get when you combine one pop music diva with a hip hop group, a television host, children and toy instruments? The answer is a Christmas song that hits the right notes of holiday fun and festiveness!
Singer Mariah Carey joined Jimmy Fallon as well as The Roots for a rendition of a Christmas classic that will be remembered for years to come. The songstress was accompanied by classroom toy instruments as she sung the holiday classic, "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
Careys' voice proved to be a great addition to the kazoo, Fisher Price xylophone, tambourine, bass drum and wooden block that were all played. Children also added to the vibrancy of the moment with their vocals.
The song which debut in 1994, has risen to "classic Christmas songs" status and has also proven enduring being covered by not only Carey but Michael Buble and Justin Bieber, only to name a few.
Watch the video below of a new spin on a Christmas classic!
