MANATEE COUNTY — Although 13-year-old Matthew Baar has long been an advocate for children battling cancer, the Haile Middle School student has always preferred to stay out of the spotlight.
But his actions have not gone unnoticed.
The East County youth scored big Jan. 15, for his favorite charities, as the Tampa Bay Lightning honored him as a Lightning Community Hero and awarded him $50,000 for his charities of choice — All Children's Hospital's Vincent Lecavalier Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center and Children's Dream Fund.
Through a coin-collection initiative called "Change for Change," Matthew raised more than $2,500 with which to purchase a Touch2Play game for the infusion center at All Children's Hospital, where his younger brother, Joey, has received treatments over the last three-and-one-half years in his battle against leukemia.
"I am really happy (for) the kids in the hospital (to get this game)," Matthew said. "I really couldn't do it without the help of everybody who helped."
Additionally, through a game Matthew and a friend designed for the Hunsader Farms Pumpkin Festival, Matthew, over the last three years, has helped raise more than $7,000 combined for All Children's and the Children's Dream Fund, which granted a wish for Joey Baar in late 2009.
"We look to choose heroes who lead by example in the community and can inspire others to use their life to make the Tampa Bay community a better place," said Elizabeth Frazier, the Lightning's vice president of philanthropy and community initiatives. "Matthew's story of his work with All Children's Hospital and the Children's Dream Fund is a wonderful example of such giving back.
"He saw through his brother's experiences some qualities he wanted to have changed and improved and he took action," she said. "We commend him for that."
Matthew Baar said he came up with the idea for his "Change for Change" campaign while doing an assignment for his social studies class last year, at which time he and his classmates were tasked with developing a community service project.
Matthew, however, decided to take the project one step further, implementing his idea to raise enough money to purchase the Touch2Play game for All Children's.
"(The kids getting treatment) need something to sidetrack the time," Matthew said. "I saw Joey really liked (this game). All the kids really liked it."
So, Matthew and family members distributed empty bottles to friends and neighbors so they could collect spare for the cause. When the coin drive finished at the end of summer, enthusiasm remained high, and the Baar family decided to extend the campaign through the Hunsader's Pumpkin Festival in October.
"Money kept trickling in," Matthew's dad, Jim Baar, said.
All Children's nominated Matthew for the award in November, and the Baar family learned Matthew was a finalist shortly after Christmas. Then, in the first week of January, the news of Matthew's selection came.
"I thought he was joking," Matthew said of when his dad told him the news. "It was really cool."
The Baar family arrived at their first hockey game Jan. 15 with much enthusiasm. Upon their arrival in the player's parking lot, they met Lightning lead scorer Steven Stamkos, before heading to the hockey rink and sitting on the players bench to watch warm-ups.
"I didn't realize how big the stadium is," Matthew said. "The lady told me that was the closest you can get to the ice without being on it."
"Joey's eye's got huge," his mother, Mary Jo, said.
Then, the family went to the locker room, where they met more players and the coach and watched the team strategize for the game. Matthew also got to shake hands and take a picture with Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier and team owner Jeff Vinik, as they delivered a check into his hands.
Matthew Baar proudly wore his new Lightning jersey, with his own last name on the back, while watching the game from a skybox with his family.
Although Matthew is excited about the contributions the Lightning has made, he has no plans to slow down his own efforts in supporting the causes. Matthew plans to launch his campaign again in a few weeks with the help of his sister, Amanda. This year's drive, dubbed "Change for Dreams," will benefit Children's Dream Fund, he said.

The All Children's Hospital Foundation plans to use grants to purchase the following:
• Two Starlight Fun Centers for patients. The center is a mobile entertainment unit that features a customized Nintendo Wii and a LCD flat panel television and DVD player
• Five Apple iPads for use of patients of the center and throughout the hospital
• One medical-grade blanket warmer
• One Keurig single-cup brewing system
• Fourteen holiday or special event celebrations
• Creation of a teen room at the center

text: Whats up, Im the proud new owner of a HTC EVO on Sprint. I bought the 1st iPhone the day it was released, moved to the 3G version on release day and kept it until a week ago. I used to rave over the iPhone and never gave Android a chance when it first came out. I always tried to convince Android owners that the i Phone was so much better, boy was I wrong. After having the EVO in my hands for an hour I was blown away of the usefulness for a power user like me. I never had the chance to experience multitasking on a phone till now. I had my iPhone jail broken and turned on the multitasking on IOS 4 when it came out but turned it off because it was total crap. I ran a dedicated server hosting company for 4 years and used RDP form my phone to basicallly run my business 24/7 I can only imagine the productivity I would have had during that time with a android phone. What basically killed me on the iPhone was the latest software update that turned it into a soft brick I was constantly having to wait on for everything. I had enough and a friend showed me his EVO. Long story short Screw apple and there proprietary crap I hope they go out of Business and Google takes over.

Hong Kong is a city with the perfect balance of access to natural surroundings and cultural stimulation. Here's what to see and do while you're there.
Ben's Back Beach Bar 273 Shek O Village, Hong Kong, +852 2809 2268
Though often thought of as an urban metropolis, it's the countryside and outlying islands that reveal the true charm of Hong Kong. Climb up The Peak for breathtaking views over the city (avoid the tram), or over 'The Dragon's Back', which carries you to Shek O beach village for a Thai lunch or a cold beer at Ben's Back Beach Bar.TIP: Head to Tai Long Wan, or 'big wave bay', a stunning strip of white sand and clear waters. Avoid in typhoon season – it's called big wave bay for a reason.
Ming Kee Fish Restaurant Po Toi Island, Hong Kong, +852 2508 1234
A wonderful way to spend a hot day out of the city is on a junk boat, wakeboarding, waterskiing and sunbathing. Sail to an island called Po Toi for a delicious lunch by the sea at Ming Kee, a lively open-air eatery. Order the razor clams and book ahead – despite its seemingly remote location, it's always packed.TIP: Ming Kee offers a BYOB option.
City of Dreams Macau, Macu, Hong Kong, +853 8868 6688
Take a short helicopter ride to Macau and experience the world's new casino capital. Gambling not your thing? Go to watch The House of Dancing Water, a spectacular show set on 3.7million gallons of water, or head to the Old Town for some Portuguese fare.
35 Aberdeen Street, Central, Hong Kong, +852 2870 2335
In 2010 the HKSAR Government converted the old 'Police Married Quarters' site into a venue designed to preserve the creative industries. The enormous heritage building is filled with lots of tiny businesses, a museum and plenty of places to eat and drink.
Running parallel to fashionable Hollywood Road and ending a few steps from the green tiles of Man Mo temple is Cat Street, a small pedestrian lane packed with antique stalls, jade trinkets, old Mao memorabilia, jewellery boxes and paintings. It's a great place to buy gifts, or just to look around. If you're going to buy anything don't forget to bargain – a lot.
A short cab ride from Central is the charming seaside town of Stanley. Browse the stalls of the bustling market, which sells everything from clothes to art and local souvenirs, before heading over to the boardwalk for a peaceful lunch by the bay.
137-141 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong, +852 2971 1010
In Hong Kong, massages are considered a routine part of a healthy lifestyle, rather than an occasional, guilty indulgence. Help yourself acclimatise to the local ways at Ten Feet Tall, a haven in the centre of the city.TIP: If you get a foot massage, there's an option to order froyo.
Kat Hing Street, Tai O, Lantau Island, Hong Kong, +852 9153 7453
To feel a thousand miles from the buzz of Central, take a trip to Tai O on an island called Lantau, a small fishing village full of character and quiet charm. Wander around the small houses and market stalls built on stilts, or stop for a honey and lemon tea and a piece of homemade cake at Solo Café. Close by there is a short but steep hiking route up to a stunning natural infinity pool. Get there early to avoid the crowds.

Average Declared Income in 2013 at €11,200 ({{commentsTotal}})
A total of six billion euros of income in 2013 was declared to tax authorities, marking a 5 percent increase despite the number of people declaring an income dropping.
The Tax Board said people have become more complaisant, with fewer people late with their tax declarations. The amount of income declared from abroad has increased by a third, which the authority puts down to an awareness campaign on social media. The amount increased by 37 million euros.
The total sum works out to 11,200 euros a year on average per declaration. That figure was 10,100 euros last year and 9,500 in 2011.
Only three people declared income exceeding a million euros, half the number of last year and 13 fewer than in 2011.

Your passport is all you need for identification at the pier and if you've completed your online check-in you should be good to go, however, I would do two things. Read the Xpress pass to make sure you aren't missing any thing and 2, ask your travel agent or the cruise line to make sure.
Bon Voyage!
Report Abuse
It all depends where you are going. You might need vacination and some countries require a visa, but it is rare for crusie passengers but there are exceptions.
As an example: if you start a crusie or end a cruise in Russia, you will need a transit visa. If you stay over for a night pre or post cruise, you will need a regular 30 day visa.
Check with your TA and see if visas are requried to where you are going. For the Caribbeans, no worries.

Do you need to print your luggage tags from online and make sure to attach to your suitcases?

Yes. But your TA should print it out for you.

Thanks for the info. I have another Q. On my Xpress pass, it asked something to the nature if i want celebrity cruise to convert the currency when i make a charge or if i want my credit card company to do it? I was going to go with the 2nd choice and let my CC Company do it, thinking I was going to get a better right, any thoughts?
Report Abuse
Your Xpress pass is your "credit card" while on baord. Everything is charged there, and they in turn charge your credit card.
The options are for the ship to add 3% service fee and charge you on your card's home currency or the ship to charge you in US$ and let your credit card company do the convertion plus charge you the service fee.
Whoever charges you less is the one that you go with. Some credit card company charges more than 3% and some charges less, although the 3% is pretty standard.
The second question is what does the ship charges as an exchange rate and your credit card charges as an exchange rate. You really can't compare as the rate floats and unless you have a charge on the same day, and they processed it the same day, then you really can't comapre.
The option I use is none of the above. We pay cash the night before and let them charge the small balance to the credit card. I leave the currency exchange to the specialist, and usually with the best rate: currency exchange brokers.
Report Abuse
So, when they talk about currency conversation, are they talking about the currency of the country in which the ship is registered to?
Report Abuse
It is not the country the ship is registered to ,but the currency of your country at the time of purchase.
Let us say you bought something in London on January 20th 2012.
..and the cost of the item was 20 pounds.
..you charged this 20 pounds to your Mastercard/Visa.
Mastercard/Visa will convert the 20 pounds into US$ if you are in the USA and into Canadian dollars if you live in Canada etc.
However ,the conversion rate ( by the Credit Card Company (Mastercvard/Visa))will be what the rate was on January 20th when you bought the item in London.
As you know the rates fluctuate but not by that much.
Report Abuse
If you can get a CC card that does not charge a conversion rate fee (and there are many that do and only a few that don't) I would get that card and then choose to have the CC company do the conversion. Carrying cash can be risky but traveler's checks aren't easy to cash these days. Credit Card companies convert using a bankers rate which is favorable to currency exchange rates.
BTW - if you are going somewhere that needs currency exchange make sure you don't need a Visa. If you are a US citizen, you will need one in Istanbul (only if you are starting or ending your cruise - you don't need one if you have a port stay in the middle of your journey - plus you get the Visa in Istanbul so no need to get it prior), also Russia (but the cruise line usually has a blanket Visa if you do one of their excursions - a Russian Visa is difficult to obtain, but not impossible). Try using this site (http://zvs.com/) for Visa information - it's the service used by most cruise lines.
Luggage tags can be printed from online but I always wait and just get them at the pier - they are sturdier than the flimsy paper you print out anyway. If you do print them out, don't put them on prior to a flight. They'll just get taken off.
I hope this helps.

Most ships will have USD as the currency of choice but I had come across Euros, as well as Australian dollars in regional cruises.

You said "It is not the country the ship is registered to ,but the currency of your country at the time of purchase." So i understand that when I am in Belize and buy something there, my CC converts from the Belize currency. And the same thing for the other 5 counties i will be at. I think that the box that i have to check off on my Xpress pass refers to charges while on the ship. after all, what would celebrity have to do with a CC purchase in, let's say, costa rica. That would be between my cc and that county not the ship.

You are corrrect travel4425
It is between your Credit Card Company and the Country where you purchased the merchandise.!
If you get off the cruise ship in Costa Rica and then purchase something ( on the credit card) in Costa Rica.....the currenct exchange is between your Credit Card Company and Costa Rica currency.

Kaysville, Utah 84037
Office Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Hector Caleb Haight is unique in that he is claimed by two towns, Farmington and Kaysville, as their first settler. Shortly after the pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, Hector Haight was sent north to find grazing for the stock. On a beautiful stream in the Kaysville/Farmington area, Haight soon built a log cabin and brought his family to live there.
In the fall of 1849 a spot not quite two miles north, where two streams joined, was chosen by settler number two, Samuel Oliver Holmes. Two of his friends, Edward Phillips and John Hyrum Green, who were living in Salt Lake, decided to travel north to Brown's Fort (Ogden) to find a permanent place to settle. When they reached the "sandridge" (later known as Hill Field) the snow was so deep and crusted that their horses were unable to carry them through. The men returned to the cabin of Samuel O. Holmes, spent the night and decided the next morning that this was where they wanted to locate. They spent the winter in Salt Lake and then brought their families here to settle. The next day, their friend William Kay and his family arrived.
Many more families must have arrived during the summer because, according to the 1850 census, there were over three hundred settlers in this part of the valley and it was time for the organization of a ward. On January 27, 1851 Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball came to the Phillips home for that purpose. Edward Phillips was asked to be Bishop, but feeling unworthy he suggested William Kay, who was appointed. It was not until September of 1852 that the ward formally began to function with William Kay as Bishop, Edward Phillips as first counselor, and John H. Green as second counselor. This little settlement became known as Kay's Ward. "Little" really isn't the word to use because the settlement covered a great deal of territory - from Haight's Creek on the south to the Weber River on the north, and from the mountains on the east to the lake on the west. In 1856 William Kay was called on a mission to Carson Valley in what is now Nevada. After Bishop Kay left there was a desire on the part of some of the people to have the name of the settlement changed from Kay's Ward to Freedom. The request was presented to President Brigham Young and when he bluntly asked, "When did Kay's Ward get its Freedom" his reply was taken as disapproval and the matter was dropped.
There had been trouble with Indians in the south and central section of the territory, so an edict came out from Brigham Young that each town should build a fort for protection. Early in the spring of 1854 Jesse W. Fox, Church Surveyor, came to Kay's Ward for the purpose of laying out the fort, which was later to become the center section of the town, about midway between the two main roads. It encompassed approximately 15 square blocks, between what is now Main Street and 600 West and 200 North and 100 South. The Spanish adobe wall was to be built of clay (dug from the outside forming a ditch) which was shoveled by hand into lumber forms. The plan of the wall was five feet at the base, tapering to three feet at the top, with a height of six feet. Each able-bodied man would be assigned to build a certain section of the wall himself or hire it done. Only part of the project was ever finished and that was on the south and west sides. The entrance to the fort was located about where Barnes Bank now stands.
There was no trouble with Indians in this vicinity, so a fort was really not needed. They were of the Gosiute Tribe, commonly called "diggers" because they depended for their very existence on what they could dig from the ground in the form of roots and bulbs, or reap from the grasses and berry bushes. They were too busy trying to stay alive to make war. Then too, the settlers carried out Brigham Young's policy of "bread instead of bullets." There were times when this was a real trial, for often there was no bread in the humble home to which the Indians came begging, but what little there was, was shared. For a time, this settlement was called "Kay's Fort".
On or around 1870, the fort was torn down. In the City Council minutes it states that on April 4, 1870 the Council passed a Resolution granting the use of lands where the old fort wall stood. The Resolution states, "Be it resolved by the City Council of Kaysville City that any person or persons who have thrown down the old fort wall can occupy the land where the said wall and ditch stood until the City Council shall deem that the public necessity requires them to remove to the line of the lots".
Kaysville was settled in 1850 and on March 15, 1868 it was incorporated, becoming the first city to be incorporated in Davis County and the 27th to be incorporated in the Utah territory. The boundaries at this time embraced an area approximately five miles square.
The majority of people coming to Kaysville up to 1852 were English. Of the 29 families who arrived before this date, 19 families came from England, three from New York, two from Vermont and one from Kentucky. No record can be found of the other four families. Later immigration to Kaysville seems to be in practically the same proportions. The majority of the people came from England or were of English descent. Most people lived on their farms with very few homes in the central part, which has since become the city of Kaysville. The first people to arrive settled on the streams or near the lake shore. There was no division of lands. A settler came in, saw a tract of land that suited him, and if not already occupied, took it up by fencing it and living on it. Several families came together and usually settled in the same neighborhood.
Prominent citizens who lived in Kaysville:
Henry H. Blood (Governor of Utah 1932-36)
Sumner Gleason (developed the Stark Early Elberta Peach)
Newell "Hod" and Clover Sanders (founded Clover Club Potato Chip Factory in 1938)
LeConte Stewart (famous landscape artist)

HBR: Use Design Thinking to Build Commitment to a New Idea
Roger L. Martin
The logic we use to understand the world as it is can hinder us when we seek to understand the world as it could be. Anyone who comes up with new ideas for a living will recognize the challenges this truism presents. It means that to get organizational support for something new, the designer needs to pay as close attention to how the new idea is created, shared, and brought to life as to the new idea itself.
The Normal Way of Generating Commitment…
Normally, we commit to an idea when we are rationally compelled by the logic of the idea and we feel emotionally comfortable with it. In the modern world, we focus disproportionately on the logic, assuming that the feelings will naturally follow. Analysis has become the primary tool in this regard. A logically plausible proposition, combined with supporting data, is presented to produce a cognitive "sense of proof." Hence the modern equation is: logic plus data provides proof, which generates emotional comfort, which leads directly to commitment.

text: As I said, there is a gun show loophole, and it has been made legal by our fathers in Washington. I've been at a lot of gun shows and watched some vato, covered in gang and prison tattoos, dragging his mother or girl friend who has a clean record, and making her buy the gun of his choice. It's legal, it shouldn't be, but it's legal. Curing that loophole would affect the inherit freedoms of several people and I'm not sure I would want to do that. I think I'd rather take my chances with the vato.

A Cinco de Mayo celebration called El Carnaval de Puebla, held each year in Philadelphia, has just been suddenly canceled — and in short order, it's due to President Donald Trump.
Why? The normal and usual Mexican holiday participants are worried they might get deported.
This is a good thing.
For years, under Barack Obama, the law-abiding of the nation have watched with a wintry mix of outrage and disbelief as the nation's illegals stood at podiums — public podiums, immigration officials be hanged — to shed tears for their entitlement rights, and demand the mean ol' Republicans who want to deport them get in the amnesty line. Jose Antonio Vargas was probably the worse-case scenario of a face-slapping to America's border control laws.
Remember Vargas?
He was the guy who penned a long-winded heart-puller in New York Times Magazine entitled, "My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant." Was he arrested? No. Shortly after writing another piece about the plight of the illegals — to include his personal struggles in a country like America with borders — Team Obama announced the halting of deportation of those age 30 and under who met certain DREAM Act circumstances.
Vargas was also the guy who called his illegal self an American — that he just didn't "have the right papers."
But he was hardly the only illegal in America, under the Obama administration, to boldly go forth as an illegal — to demand equal rights to citizens. Thousands of others took part in public events, outright outing their illegal statuses, outright casting deportation concerns to the wind. And why wouldn't they? Obama had an open door policy at the border — an open door policy that led him, in the days before the last presidential election, to pretty much encourage those without voting rights to, well, get to the ballot boxes and vote, anyway.
His message: Because who's going to deport them?
When asked in late 2016 by a member of the media if undocumented citizens and dreamers — "I call them citizens" — got in the election game and voted, would immigration officials then know their location and deport them, Obama's response: "Not true. And the reason is first of all when you vote you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating."
Go on, Obama egged. Vote. Nobody's checking — not in my administration, anyway.
Well, new administration. And now illegals across the nation seem to be getting the message that the new sheriff in the White House isn't so blind to the borders.
Typically, up to 15,000 gather in South Philadelphia each year for the Cinco de Mayo celebration. But this year?
Different story, it seems. In recent times, Trump's border control officials have arrested or detained hundreds of illegals. Why just within the last few days, 248 were detained in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia during a mass federal raid that lasted about two weeks.
As such, illegals everywhere are starting to think: Hey, maybe we ought not strut about as if we're citizens any longer.
Good idea.
"The group of six organizers decided to cancel unanimously," said Edgar Ramirez, one of the Cinco de Mayo organizers, to a local NBC affiliate about the fate of the event. "Everyone is offended by the actions of ICE. They did not feel comfortable holding the event."
Ramirez's comments were meant to be critical — were meant to demonstrate just how Trump's crackdowns were causing undue chaos in the illegal community. But sorry, no sympathy here. For the law-abiding in America, Ramirez's announcement is just yet another feel-good moment for the election of Trump — another chance to breathe a collective sigh of relief that the adults are back in charge and order, justice and law once again count.

NFL owners gathered in Atlanta on Tuesday to discuss heading off a work stoppage for next season.Meanwhile, Patriots owner Robert Kraft was still processing his own team's work stoppage in 2010. Speaking to Greg Bedard of The Boston Globe, Kraft went long-view first."I think if anyone had said at the beginning of the year that wed go 14-2 and get a bye, I dont think there would have been any takers. To see the way it evolved and everyone put the team first, the coaching staff did a great job and we really got excited with this team and then it got yanked away from us.So great credit goes to the Jets and Rex Ryan and what they did. They earned it."Of the pregame crap-talking by New York, Kraft said, "I dont think thats our style, but I guess it happens from time to time."Meanwhile, Jets owner Woody Johnson, speaking on the same topic, noted, "Those things happen. Youve got high spirits on both sides of the equation. There were shots fired on both sides. Thats part of competitive sports.Ideally, youd like to lessen it,'' he said. "But the emotion used to play the game of football is high. This is not for the faint of heart. If thats the worse thing that happens for the rest of the year, Ill be delighted."Hold that delight. The trash talk is probably trumped by the Jenn Sterger, Ines Sainz, Michelle Ryan troika of embarrassing occurences. As for the labor issues, the league side is expressing irritation that the players association isn't doing more bargaining with them. Said Kraft on the bleak outlook for a new CBA, "Its the same, he said. I think theres more litigation going on than negotiations, so thats unfortunate. But I guess maybe thats just the process.Tom E.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Greyhound Canada will scale back intercity bus service on several routes in Ontario as it awaits a government report on the future of the industry, the company said on Wednesday.
The schedule changes due to start on January 17 will maintain service on the TransCanada Highway at a reduced level while officials prepare the report on intercity bus service that is set to be released in September, Greyhound said.
The long-term future of its cross-country operations will depend on the outcome of the study, announced by provincial and federal transport ministers in October, the company said.
Greyhound, a unit of British bus and rail operator FirstGroup Plc, says it loses money on many rural routes and needs government aid to keep them open.
"The route frequency reductions we are announcing today are designed to relieve some of that financial pressure," Senior Vice-President Stuart Kendrick said in a news release.
Greyhound had said in September it would discontinue all service in Manitoba and northern Ontario, and warned it might pull out of Western Canada, but it delayed those cuts when the government said it would look at the issue.
Greyhound is the only ground transportation alternative to cars for many small and remote communities in Central and Western Canada, where passenger rail service is extremely limited and aimed largely at tourists.

Already 6-foot-3, Will Few stood a little taller Tuesday evening.
Primarily the Aquinas catcher, Few was instead on the mound Tuesday, but he still delivered, helping the Fighting Irish win at home against Georgia Military College, 11-1, in six innings.
Few is a possible pick as the team's No. 3 starting pitcher and thus a potential Game 3 starter in the upcoming Class A state playoffs.
"I'm usually the starting catcher," Few said. "Hopefully (the third starter) will be me. I want to do it."
Few had six strikeouts and held the Bulldogs to only three hits while throwing a one-hitter through five innings.
The leadoff hitter reached just once on Few, and when Georgia Military College did threaten to score multiple runs, its chances were ended by Few and the defense.
In the fourth, after hitting the first batter, Few got a big double play from his infield, and two innings later, though the Bulldogs finally scratched one across on an RBI single, Aquinas (21-3) got the ball in quick to catcher Colin Oliver applied the tag to get the out at home.
Earlier, in the bottom of the third, Aquinas provided all the runs Few needed when Shane Meehan started the rally with a walk.
After Tyler Williamson and Erin Hawk reached to load the bases, Brendan Douglas crushed the ball to left-center field for a two-run double. Hawk scored the third run when the Bulldogs' catcher mishandled the ball at the plate.
Sam Few followed with the second of his three hits, an RBI single that made it 4-0. That chased Georgia Military College starting pitcher Nolan Baugh, but the inning didn't stop until after Palmer Douglas added a fourth run on an RBI groundout.
The Fighting Irish (21-3) then won by the run rule by plating two runs in the bottom of the sixth.
Sam Few began the inning with a double past the center fielder and Dane Anderson followed with an RBI triple.
The Bulldogs intentionally walked the next two hitters to load the bases, but the ball got away from catcher Donald Rogers to allow the clinching run to come home.
Aquinas coach Mike Laney was pleased with what he saw, especially from the battery, but he is still worried about the little things, particularly communication and intangibles.
As the runner-up in last season's state playoffs, Laney hopes this club doesn't get a feeling of entitlement as it plays Wilkinson County in a doubleheader today and looks to fight for the state championship once the Class A tournament begins.
"We got to stay hungry," Laney said.

I don't know what CMake interface is available to you on the windows side of things (I use ccmake on the unix side), but I suggest you use whatever CMake interface is available to set options rather than editing CMakeCache.txt. For example, if you set ENABLE_tk OFF with an interface, then PLD_tk gets automatically turned off. If you simply edit the cache, then it's possible you could get some strange inconsistencies between options. > 2.

I have checked all files in cmake/modules and also all the CMakeLists.txt files for occurrences of "cat". That Unix command is used twice in doc/docbook/src/CMakeLists.txt to help build the documentation (which I assume you were not doing), and once in bindings/CMakeLists.txt to build pkgIndex.tcl (which should not happen if ENABLE_tcl is OFF). Do you get the same complaints about cat if you do a clean start from an originally empty build tree? And returning to an earlier question, what have you done about the problems Werner found with, e.g., _isnan? If you have solved those minor issues, please check in your solution.

The apartment was very spacious and comfortable, with a large patio, with a wonderful, unobstructed view of the lake and mountains. Free parking under the building. The property is about 2 km by road from the town of Bellagio. You don't want to walk on the very busy road, which is narrow and twisty with no sidewalks. There is a way to walk to town during the day without going on the road, passing through the grounds of Villa Melzi, which are worth seeing anyway. The friendly and helpful staff will give you a map. Otherwise you drive and pay for parking, or use the free shuttle service. We found 2 problems with the apartment during our stay. The first is that there were minimal cooking and eating supplies - no bowls for cereal, only one pot and one pan, no condiments such as salt and pepper. The second is that the hotel shuts off the air conditioning when the outside temperature is 23 degrees C. or lower. Our unit had no windows, so the only way to provide ventilation was to open the sliding doors to the patio, which we did not want to do when we were sleeping. Therefore the room became too hot at night.

I like the theme of your review, and that you give credit to all of the people that made sure the production was enjoyable for everyone, which is incredibly important in a musical like this one. I would've liked to hear more of your opinions on the elements of the specific performance you saw. How was the singing, choreography, orchestra, lighting, etc.?

Kabul - The US-led Nato force in Afghanistan on Monday conceded that several children died during a bombing raid last week in the northeast province where French troops are based.Afghan President Hamid Karzai had condemned the air strikes and ordered an investigation after saying that eight children were killed on February 8.Brigadier General Carsten Jacobson, spokesperson for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), said that an ongoing assessment showed that troops engaged "a group of men, who were armed and engaging in unusual behaviour"."This group was engaged by coalition aircraft and that engagement followed all ISAF tactical directives. Following the engagement, additional casualties were discovered and these casualties were young Afghans of varying ages."At this point in our assessment, we can neither confirm nor deny, with reasonable assurance, a direct link to the engagement," he said.Homes raidedBut Mohammad Tahir Safi, a member of parliament for Kapisa and part of the investigation team dispatched by Karzai, disagreed.To reporters, he narrated an account in which the local head of Afghan intelligence told a French colonel that the area of the planned operation was "not a threat", refusing to countenance an operation.Safi said French troops raided the homes of two former jihadi commanders before dawn, confiscating "only one mortar round, a shotgun... some AK rounds and nothing else".About 600m west of the village, children gathered to start a fire when "all of a sudden a plane dropped one bomb in first round and another bomb later", he said, showing pictures of bloodied children in shrouds."There were eight people and all innocent children and you can see their pictures," he said. The dead were aged between six and 14, with "another guy aged about 18 to 20" who was mentally ill, Safi said.Strained relationshipJacobson called any deaths of innocent people a tragedy but insisted: "We simply are not yet certain how this happened."The Afghan president, who has a strained relationship with his Western allies, has regularly condemned Nato for civilian deaths in the decade-long war against Taliban insurgents fighting to overthrow him.At the time, Kapisa district police chief Abdul Hamid Erkin said that seven children and a mentally-handicapped 20-year-old were killed.He said French commanders "claimed that the target was a group of Taliban facilitators, but we checked the area and there were no Taliban".Last month, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said troops would hand over responsibility for security in Kapisa to Afghans from March 2012, following the killing of four French soldiers by an Afghan they were training.
And how many have you killed since 2001? These atrocities wouldn't have happened if the NATO powers had not first committed a previous atrocity on its own children - turning young people into killers.
One of the US generals said in Iraq, to paraphrase, "we don't do body counts".
You're both delusional, lying to yourselves and trying to lie to others.

Northland, New Zealand is a subtropical haven of beaches, islands and bays, native rainforest and is culturally significant, being New Zealand's first area of settlement.
The Northland Region stretches from Auckland to the very top of New Zealand. It is a story of two coastlines with the iconic Bay of Islands, as well as the Kauri Coast, the Far North, and Whangarei.
Encounter the magnificent Tane Mahuta, the biggest kauri tree in existence, amongst New Zealand rainforest near the stunning Hokianga harbour. Journey past the huge sand dunes and pristine beaches of the Far North to experience the northernmost tip of the country, where you can watch the seas of the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea collide.
Visit the stunning Doubtless Bay and then the beautiful Bay of Islands with its 144 islands and bays. Swim with dolphins, dive, fish, sail or play golf and visit the Waitangai Treaty Grounds, one of New Zealand's most significant historic sites, along with Russell and Kerikeri, New Zealand's oldest settlements and buildings.
Northland's only city, Whangarei is close to the beautiful Bream Bay and Mangawhai beaches to the south, and Tutukaka with a world class marine reserve for diving and fantastic outlying marlin fishing areas.

LG Shows off 5-inch Flexible Plastic OLED Display at SID 2013
This week there are two semi-big mobile events going on. There's CTIA which is mostly a carrier event and has been a pretty big snoozefest this year. There's also SID, which is where LG and Qualcomm and others are this week.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
LG is showing off their 5-inch flexible plastic OLED display. Because it's made of plastic, it allows the display to be both bendable and unbreakable, which are two things we love to see. LG is also touting that the display will debut in a smartphone before the end of this year. We've heard rumors of it being in the Optimus G2 coming this fall, but that's not confirmed just yet.
This panel is made from plastic substrates. Which are more flexible and cheaper to manufacture than their glass counterparts. LG is saying that cost-effectiveness seems to be the chief objective overall. This will definitely benefit those that drop their phones often or are accident-prone. Typically the glass above the screen would break, but with this OLED panel, it would stay in tact. Which in turn would result in lower repair costs.
At LG's booth, they are allowing attendees at SID take a hammer to the standalone display and twist it every which way. And it did indeed withstand these torture tests. Engadget was on the show floor and got this hands on demo for all of us to check out. The LG rep there also told Engadget that the panel could sport a bigger or smaller size when it debuts in a smartphone later this year. The resolution could probably be higher as well.

Skin Cancer Can Be Dangerous
Skin cancer is a dangerous form of cancer and can affect anyone. It is not considered dangerous but can prove fatal in some cases. The older white males are at an increased risk of getting skin cancer. Even though people under the age of 50 are at a lesser risk of getting cancer and the death rates of people under 50 dying from cancer have been coming down over the last 20 years. But death rates for men over the age of 50 are increasing for the last 8 years.
The highest number of people dying from skin cancer are white males over the age of 65. Even though a lot of women are also dying due to skin cancer, still two times more men die of skin cancer as compared to women.
Medical experts feel that the reason for this is that awareness about skin cancer was not very common earlier. It is only during the last two decades that people are aware of the dangerous nature of skin cancer.
Even though it can take decades for this type of cancer to spread, it still remains a dangerous condition. Experts also feel that it is only during the last few years that people have started using sun creams regularly. Medical science had also not progressed so much to make people aware of this cancer. But due to advance medical treatment, now 92% of skin cancer victims are able to successfully overcome their condition.
