A few weeks ago, we got a call from my husband's brother Louis. We thought he is just going to say hi, just like what he always does, but unfortunately he had to tell us the bad news. My husband's mother, Lily, has died after years of battling cancer. We were all shocked on the news. We all knew that Lily fought for her life and she wanted to stay alive. It was heart-breaking. My husband and I decided to immediately fly to Melbourne to help with all the preparations for her memorials.
The whole family have decided to have a simple but memorable memorial for their mother. My husband's eldest sister, Hannah, chose a simple white dress for their mother to wear. She and their other sister were the ones in charge of their mother's clothes and how she is going to look like. On the other hand, Louis and my husband were the ones in charge of the funeral.
I helped my husband plan the whole memorial for their mother. We called and e-mailed their relatives and told them about Lily's death. We also contacted her closest friends—most of them are teachers she worked with when she was still teaching at the community college. I'm sure that wherever Lily is, she is delighted to see all her family and friends gather to say goodbye to her.
The memorial is almost set, and now the only thing that was left to do is to get her a headstone. After hours of searching online, we ended up getting a headstone for Lily from Astral Stone in Melbourne. We chose a simple headstone for her, nothing too fancy. Her headstone wrote, "In the loving memory of Lily: A loving mother, nana and teacher. A woman of substance." I think those phrases perfectly described Lily as a person.
I have attended a couple of memorials before, but I have to say that this one is the most memorable. It was definitely a celebration of Lily's life—all of the good things she has done for a lot of people, including her students, colleagues, friends, neighbours, family and most especially, her kids. People cried, of course, but laughter also echoed the room. Lily has lived a challenging but fun life—I'm sure she does not want us to cry over her death. She has always been a fighter, always reminding us that everyone will eventually die so death should not upset someone. Lily is definitely going to be missed, but I'm pretty sure that she is happy wherever she is right now

It is unclear why some species become successful invaders whilst others fail, and whether invasive success depends on pre-adaptations already present in the native range or on characters evolving de-novo after introduction. Ants are among the worst invasive pests, with Lasius neglectus and its rapid spread through Europe and Asia as the most recent example of a pest ant that may become a global problem. Here, we present the first integrated study on behavior, morphology, population genetics, chemical recognition and parasite load of L. neglectus and its non-invasive sister species L. turcicus. We find that L. neglectus expresses the same supercolonial syndrome as other invasive ants, a social system that is characterized by mating without dispersal and large networks of cooperating nests rather than smaller mutually hostile colonies. We conclude that the invasive success of L. neglectus relies on a combination of parasite-release following introduction and pre-adaptations in mating system, body-size, queen number and recognition efficiency that evolved long before introduction. Our results challenge the notion that supercolonial organization is an inevitable consequence of low genetic variation for chemical recognition cues in small invasive founder populations. We infer that low variation and limited volatility in cuticular hydrocarbon profiles already existed in the native range in combination with low dispersal and a highly viscous population structure. Human transport to relatively disturbed urban areas thus became the decisive factor to induce parasite release, a well established general promoter of invasiveness in non-social animals and plants, but understudied in invasive social insects.

Newspaper purchase completed
The Washington Post now belongs to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
The Washington Post Co. said Tuesday that it had completed the sale of the newspaper publishing business to Bezos, who said in August he was buying it for $250 million.
The soon-to-be-renamed Washington Post Co. is retaining the Kaplan education business, Slate magazine, TheRoot.com and Foreign Policy magazine, as well as the Post's headquarters building in downtown Washington. Bezos' newspaper will lease space in the building.
The Post, celebrated a generation ago for breaking the Watergate scandal, has been losing readers and advertisers to the Internet while watching its value plummet.
Bezos is buying the newspaper as an individual. Amazon.com Inc. is not involved.
Icahn wants Apple to buy back more stock
Activist investor Carl Icahn is pressuring Apple to spend $150 billion to buy back its own stock, a target that would more than double the amount that the company's board authorized in a previous attempt to placate frustrated shareholders.
Icahn took to the Internet and the TV airwaves Tuesday to make it clear that he believes Apple Inc. isn't doing nearly enough to boost its stock price, which has fallen by 30 percent from its peak in September 2012. The slump has turned Apple's stock into a bargain, Icahn said on the financial news channel CNBC, making it a "no-brainer" for the maker of the iPhone and iPad to pour more money into its shares.
Lorillard buys maker of electronic cigarettes
Lorillard Inc., the nation's third-biggest tobacco company, has acquired U.K.-based electronic cigarette maker SKYCIG for $49 million to expand its global presence in the fast-growing business.
Greensboro, N.C.-based Lorillard, said Tuesday it also will pay up to another $49 million in 2016 if the company meets certain financial performance benchmarks.
"It has been Lorillard's mission to be first and best in the electronic cigarette category," Lorillard CEO Murray Kessler said in a statement. "Our mission is now a global one."
Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered devices made of plastic or metal that heat a liquid nicotine solution, creating vapor that users inhale. Users get their nicotine without the thousands of chemicals, tar or odor of regular cigarettes. And they get to hold something shaped like a cigarette, while puffing and exhaling something that looks like smoke.
Walgreen earnings take big jump
Walgreen Co.'s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings soared 86 percent, as the nation's largest drugstore chain booked a big inventory-related gain and benefited from its acquisition of a stake in European health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots.
The company said Tuesday that it filled more prescriptions in this year's quarter and saw some improvement from the store area outside the pharmacy.
It also reaped a greater benefit than it expected from its combination with European health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots. Walgreen bought a 45 percent stake in that company last year and has an option to buy the rest of the business in 2015.
Alliance Boots runs the largest drugstore chain in the United Kingdom.

Could someone show me the relationship, if any, withing the following terms:
Lagging/Leading Power Factor (PF)
Lagging/Leading Reactive Power (Q)
Positive/Negative Reactive Power (Q)
Can I say that Lagging PF = Lagging Q = Positive Q?
Could someone show me the relationship, if any, withing the following terms:
Lagging/Leading Power Factor (PF)
Lagging/Leading Reactive Power (Q)
Positive/Negative Reactive Power (Q)
Can I say that Lagging PF = Lagging Q = Positive Q?
we have a traveling power (reactive) that it is saved in magnetic and electric fields .for a half of priod it saved in mag. field (L)and for next half priod is saved in elec. field (C). for a inductanc load (L) ,current is lagging from voltage .so we say a inductive load has lagging reactive power.for a Cap. load we say it has leading reactive power.
Negative Reactive Power (Q) used for generation of Reactive Power and positve for consumption.
http://Can I say that Lagging PF = L... = Positive Q?
Do you mean PF=Q ??
I mean "Lagging PF" = "Lagging Q" = "Positive Q", correct? Thanks.Originally Posted by smxx
I'm confused. Any problem with the following statements:
For a load of capacitor VAr is produced and considered negative or lagging as in Figure 3.10.
A capacitive load on the other hand will be represented by R-jX as shown in Figure 3.12 and hence produces lagging VArs.
Or, pls check my another thread here:
Please give me your advices.
Here is the understanding I have:
Lagging power factor is where the current lags the voltage (current peak occurs after voltage peak). This occurs if the load is inductive. In this case, the load consumes VArs. The question is now, is this positive VArs or negative VArs. Regardless, you must supply VArs. Most people call this positive VArs or positive Q.
Lagging power factor <=> load consumes VArs <=> positive Q <=> inductive load
(I'm using <=> to denote an implication and an inverse implication. Basically, this is an equality)
Leading power factor is where the current leads the voltage (current peak occurs before voltage peak). This occurs if the load is capacitive. In this case, the load supplies VArs. Most people call this negative VArs or negative Q.
Leading power factor <=> load supplies VArs <=> negative Q <=> capacitive load
Remember, that leading and lagging is always measured using the voltage (or real power, which is in phase of the voltage). Therefore, negative Q is lagging the voltage and positive Q is leading the voltage. Using the convention, you should rewrite your implication to be:
Lagging PF = Leading Q = Positive Q
Leading PF = Lagging Q = Negative Q
Actually, thinking about this some more, when
Lagging PF then the VArs are lagging the P. Therefore, your statement is correct, but your text appears to be using the convention I mentioned in the post above. The book is backwards and bizarre, it confused me too. Sorry, but
Lagging PF = Lagging Q = Positive Q.
Everything else I said above is correct. I never really think in terms of leading of lagging Q, but rather leading and lagging current and the consuming or supplying of VArs.
I agree with u. The author of the text used kind of convention that confuses reader. Thanks for your explanation.

I don't understand this
Lagging PF = Lagging Q = Positive Q.
pls tell me.
for fully sine wave we have
V=Vm cos(Θ) where Θ=ωt
I=Im cos(Θ+Φ)
S=V*I=Vm *Im cos(Θ)* cos(Θ+Φ)=½ Vm *Im [cos(2Θ+Φ)+cos(Φ)]
S=[Vrms*Irms *cos(Φ)]+[Vrms*Irms*cos(2Θ+Φ)]=P+Q
so freq of reactive power is 2Θ
for a period mean values for term cos(2Θ)cos(Φ) is 0 and for sin(2Θ)sin(Φ) is sin(Φ)
so the mean value for Q is :Qm=Vrms*Irms*sin(Φ)
this value is the Amplitude of a sine wave only.
for dynamic PFC we must design a filter to measuering real time reactive power .
thanks all
I thought cos(θ) = cos(-θ) ≡ "positive value". So, PF should be a number between 0 ~ 1. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
Sorry for my post that confusing u. Actually I tried to ask as follows:
Lagging PF ≡ Lagging Q ≡ Positive Q
... meaning if a device gives "lagging PF", can we say that the Q associated to the device is "lagging Q" and "positive Q"?
Originally Posted by smxx
Yes, pf is never negative. But you designate a "leading" power factor or a "lagging" power factor.
Maybe some people use a negative sign to denote leading?
We've been using equal signs for a "reversable implication". Basically, we've been saying A = B to mean that
A implies B and B implies A
It's a logical equality not a numeric equality. Sorry for the confusion.

Why do boys always go for the pretty girls? They have to have the blonde hair and blue eyes! But what about the girls with dark hair and green eyes? Aren't they pretty too? Boys always go for the pretty girls, they want to look popular with those girls and be considered cool cause they go out with the "cute" girls! What's so cute about a ton of blonde cheerleaders thinking they're better then everyone else? In all the movies the blonde cheerleader has the guy at the beginning but then, in the end, the brunette get's him. Why can't it be like that in reality? Boys are so confusing. One moment they are together with the geeky girl, the next moment they are dancing at prom with a cheerleader. Why can't the girls that make sense and are beautiful in there own way be loved. Why are boys so cute, yet so hard.
Why are boys so confusing?
I can equally make a rant about girls but to be honest I agree with you. Many of my fellow men are shallow, but I guarantee you, unless you live in an area with a population of 500 there is a boy that doesn't just go for the cheerleader. All people need to do is realize that he won't be "A material", he won't be on the Football team of some really hot looking guy. Both sides of the argument, in my experiance, are hypocrites.
great point. i was just thinking about this yesterday. i feel like the shallower guys are also the guys usually bold enough to ask girls out, especially the ones on the younger side.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just because you are a blonde doesn't mean every boy will be memorized by you're beauty. Some boys like girls with dyed hair and percings and others like plain girls with a natural look. We should trying being our selves.
I am a boy, and I'm different than all the other boys on this entire earth. I feel sympathy for you and your friend. I am 13, and I'm completely in love with this girl that's too embarrassed to admit she loves me too. She is a brunette, and I think she's the most beautiful thing to walk the earth. I've published several pieces on teen ink with her in mind. She doesn't love me, though. I am blonde with blue eyes, but I don't want to be. Let's say I...get a ... (more »)
Aw! That's actually really sweet! I hope my article didn't affend you. :)
And if that girl doesn't like you then she doesn't know what she's missing cause you seem like a great guy!

She was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me...and she didn't care...I'm trying to make them think that I don't care for her anymore, but...I honestly do, and I never will stop...
Well, there is one girl somewhere out there who will love you for you. :)
Ha, sorry, I just read this kid's comment, and I had to throw my two cents in-- Believe me, boy-- my school needs a few more like you. You do sound like a great guy, so go get'er! And a nice article, VirginiaSoul, good topic, try adding more 'meat' to it and expanding... it could go far.
yeah very true but if you TRULY luv this gurl go 4 her nd try 2 find out y she hasnt listened to you. For all you know she might have issues of her own just like u
Lol AndersN,

not all guys are like this, you have your head stuck in the gutter. You're just not seeing other parts. Girls can be the same way as well. They never go for the geeky guys, but they always want the hot shots. This is just our problem, we only accept the love we think we deserve.
(I wrote this artical) Okay, this was for my friend, I'm NOT a brunette with brown eyes. I am blonde with blue eyes. I'm the other girl in the article (the blonde one). The brunette girl was just a fictional (yet quite real) character. Just letting you know.
Thanks for your opinion though. :)
I'm not trying to be mean, I promise! :)
Thanks for your opinion though. :)
I'm not trying to be mean, I promise! :)
i agree that you have no intention on hurting any ones feelings. thoug i will agree that the girls are the same way. any way i absolutely love your stuff keep it up. it speaks the truth. also, don't get offended by others comments, the only thing that matters are YOUR thoughts. smile :)
VirginiaSoul, I think it's really cool that you wrote it about the brunette with brown eyes even though she's not you (she's me!) :D But I'm not complaining. Actually at my school it's not the blonde cheerleaders all the guys like... it's weird. And I think we only have two blonde cheerleaders. Lol. :)
My school has NO blonde cheerleaders. looks aren't super important. as long as you are happy with how you look, then nothing else matters.
this is so true.
I agree with this. but im with a guy i love deeply, even tho im not popular. im always alone. im not as pretty as other girls. but he likes me for who i am. i just had to be patient to find him. heh (:

this is so true!!! i really liked reading this!!! boys need 2 stop being so pickyy... and go for the gurls who havent had any guys. a guy doesnt need to always have a blonde gurl! all gurls r pretty in their own way
Im telling you right now, the guys where you are from are pigs! Im a boy, and I don't do that. I like a girl with a good personality and has the same intrests as I do. Looks are only secondary things after good personalities for me. Trust me, there are some guys I know that would wish to meet girls. I have always gotten girls that really never liked me...I wish there were girls that would live in GA that didn't care about looks....and only personalities cause I would never be so Frikin...

Test People
I have no time for "demonic influences" in my life! There is a spirit behind everything: it might be a commercial pushing you to over-eat, or a comment said that scares you into purchasing something you don't really need, etc. (Most things in life will prey on your fears, unsatisfactions and discontentment.)
I had to stop a manipulation situation just the other day with a person who wanted money from Chris and I for a semi-legit need. (*Hear me!! Test people!!) How? 1. Pray in the spirit–He reminds you of all things and forewarns! 2. Watch for "red flags"–obvious…counterings of the Bible/morality. 3. Throw out certain words/phrases to see how people respond. (Use truth to your leverage!) 4. If something is robbing you of Peace…shut it down! 5. "Man-up"–keep your emotions out of it! **This is using discernment!!)
Demons don't like it when YOU can't be manipulated! (They always work through people!)
Well, this person was angry that they didn't get what they wanted…(manipulation again!) I am hopeful this person will change and see their need for Jesus!
(TV's on…why do I suddenly want a new lawn-mower?)

Type of Document Thesis Author Smith, Kelly Bryan URN etd-04072007-135421 Title Solitary Rambles and Stifling Sickrooms: Disease and Gender in Jane Austen's Fiction Degree Master of Arts Department English, Department of Advisory Committee

- Pride and Prejudice
- Sense and Sensibility
- Persuasion

Date of Defense 2007-03-26 Availability unrestricted Abstract Jane Austen's use of disease in her novels is crucial to the interpretation of her work. The most current Austen scholarship continues to debate her political leanings and motivations. John Wiltshire sees an important link between illness and the fate of women in Austen's novels. This means that the instances of disease in Austen are significant to the interpretation of gender politics in eighteenth and nineteenth century England. It is important to pay attention to indisposed women in Austen for this very reason. Illness in general, and especially feigned illness, can be seen as a source of power for women, a means used by female characters in Austen to exert control over their own lives through subversive means. Disease in Austen's novels also serves to reflect the morals of her characters in the midst of a changing cultural landscape. Another critic, Mary Poovey, observes that proper morality was in a state of fluctuation during Jane Austen's life, and her writings mirror this uncertainty. Many female authors before Austen reinforced the traditional role of women in society, but Austen's ambiguity of tone and varying treatment of her heroines calls her political positions into question.In this thesis, I seek to explore the unexamined area where the readings of Wiltshire and Poovey potentially overlap. I hope to build a bridge between Wiltshire's study of the body and Poovey's examination of female propriety. Firstly, I examine instances in Austen's novels of men and women who are punished or reformed by disease. I find that the narratives are not set up in such a way that Austen is condemning all supposedly improper behavior. Often the women who are punished, for example, Marianne Dashwood, are the more favorably depicted characters. At other times, those who are reformed disappear from the narrative, so that the reader cannot tell whether the behavioral changes are permanent. To bring the role of disease into sharper focus, I next look into another of its aspects, the more visible role of invalids and hypochondriacs. In Jane Austen's works, hypochondriacs and invalids serve as examples of men and women who use disease to subvert their social roles. Some succeed while others fail. Why? Does Austen see danger in subversive behavior, or is she simply reflecting some of the values of her time? In order to try to resolve these questions, my last section examines how healthy characters are depicted in Austen's novels. In the end, I conclude that unlimited behavioral freedom, especially for women, is problematic. In order to find physical and social health within the society of Austen's time, women need to have a degree of physical and intellectual in order to be more productive members of society. The healthiest women have a proper man to help guide them, but that isn't to say that men should be in full control. The healthiest men need female guidance, too. Perhaps this is Austen's way of trying to increase female freedom without overturning the patriarchal order altogether.

Violence. Studies have found that approximately 1/2 of all inmates ( about 1 million) experience violence either by other inmates or by staff. The study below shows that violence perpetrated by staff happens in the same numbers as violence by inmates against each other.
Gangs are prolific in prisons. Many use the telephone to contact gang members outside of prison. "A significant number of federal inmates use prison telephones to commit serious crimes while incarcerated—including murder, drug trafficking and fraud." (Justice Department Study)
Drugs are also found in virtually all prisons, keeping many inmates addicted and creating new addicts. For some, even those who were not addicts when they entered prison, it is a way to escape the horrible conditions. Drugs are smuggled in in a variety of ways. Staff will many times bring it in to trade for sex. (Do a Google search for "prison officer charge sexual misconduct" (no quotations marks) to see a long list of links to cases.)
The Inspector General of the Justice Department released a report in 2003 which found illegal drugs in every one of the nations 102 federal prisons. It showed that the drugs were brought in by visitors, the mail system and most disconcerting… the staff.

Stacking the Shelves (8)
Stacking the Shelves is a new weekly meme hosted by Tynga of Tynga's Reviews. It's a weekly post where book bloggers share the books they received throughout the week.
I'm not home right now, so I'll make this post quick and to the point. I was pretty good this week and only bought one book and then only received two for review. So all in all it's not too bad and it hasn't added to much to my TBR pile. So without further ado, here's what I got.
- Katya's World by Jonathan L. Howard (from Strange Chemistry) - This one sounds really interesting and like something a little different. Plus I'm really excited about all the Strange Chemistry books that are coming out this fall. They should definitely all be interesting, this one included.
- Venom by Fiona Paul (from Razorbill CA) - So this book takes place during the Renaissance in Venice, what more do you need? Ever since I first heard about this book I have been dying to read it. I love the Renaissance and Venice is an absolutely fantastic place to set a story. I'm pretty sure I'm part of a blog tour for this book as well so be sure to look out for that closer to the release date.
- The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer - I'm not usually a big Middle Grade reader but this book sounds absolutely adorable and I've heard that it's actually really good so that made me excited to read it. Plus it was written by Chris Colfer (Kurt on Glee) and I love him so how exactly was I supposed to pass up this book?
So that's it for me this week. Be sure to leave me a comment below telling me what you got and I'll try to come check it out at some point during the week.
On a different note, tomorrow I will be advocating for Lucas Delos from Josephine Angelini's Starcrossed trilogy in the YA Crush Tournament so if you could head over to YA Sisterhood to vote for Lucas, that would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great week!

Date: April 07 2012
The leader of a Mali coup has pledged to transfer power to the country's national assembly head, effectively ending a period of uncertainty in the capital, Bamako.
After talks with regional grouping ECOWAS, Captain Amadou Sanogo said on state television that he would make Dioncounda Traore head of state and restore constitutional order.
According to Mali's constitution, the head of the national assembly should assume power in the interim if the president is unable to carry out his duties.
Dressed in his army uniform and flanked by soldiers, Sanogo said "we have come to an agreement that will allow us in the coming hours and days to effectively put in place constitutional measures".
He added that an interim prime minister and transitional government will serve under Traore.
According to the agreement signed in conjunction with ECOWAS, both Mali's original government and the coup leaders will be subject to an amnesty.
Earlier this week, the junta had said it wanted to pursue ousted President Amadou Toumani Toure for high treason and financial embezzlement.
Toure was ousted on March 22 by soldiers loyal to Sanogo.
Reports suggest that Toure is still sheltering with loyalist troops outside of the capital.
Friday's decision comes after days of talks by ECOWAS heads of state.
The grouping imposed tough economic and diplomatic sanctions on Mali on Monday, after saying the coup leaders had failed to restore constitutional order.
In Bamako, Malians watched at about 10pm local time as state broadcaster ORTM announced "a framework agreement between ECOWAS and the junta".
"At last!" Momo Biagne, a shopkeeper in Bamako, said by telephone.
"We were all afraid that (the junta) would try to hang onto power for as long as possible. This is very good news," he said.
Many people have been living with limited fuel and cash after long lines formed at petrol stations and banks reduced transactions in the wake of the sanctions.
In a statement released earlier on Friday, dozens of high-profile Malian commentators, writers and academics called on ECOWAS to remove the sanctions.
"Giving justice to the people of Mali in current circumstances begins with the immediate removal of the sanctions ... proposed by ECOWAS as a concerted exit strategy from the crisis," the statement read.
But as the junta clung to power this week, ECOWAS stepped up talks, discussing the possibility of ousting the coup leaders through force.
Three thousand troops have been on standby since last week.
Friday's move comes after Tuareg separatists known as the MNLA declared independence of the northern part of Mali earlier in the day.
The EU, African Union and France said they would not recognise the desert region of Azawad - which skirts Niger, Burkina Faso and Algeria - as an independent state.

Rogersville rode a hot start from behind the 3-point arc in the the championship game of its own tournament on Saturday and held off the Ozark Tigers en route to a 64-58 win.
Rogersville (9-7) won its fifth consecutive game and followed an upset of the state's No. 2 ranked team in Class 4, Republic, by knocking down five 3-pointers in the first quarter and eight in the first half as the Wildcats took a 31-18 lead to the break.
Ozark made a run in the second half and were within two points (60-58) with 34.7 seconds remaining in the game after a basket in the paint by Tyler Clanton. But Rogersville was nails at the free throw line down the stretch, hitting all six of its attempts in the closing minute of play to close out the game.
Freshman Marcus Gorman followed Clanton's basket with a pair of free throws with 22 seconds remaining to give Rogersville a four-point lead and Ozark missed a pair of shots at its offensive end to close put the game.
With 7.6 seconds remaining, junior Corbin Medley hit a pair of free throws for the 64-58 final.
Three Rogersville players — Gorman, Medley and Aaron Freeman — knocked down three 3-pointers and Medley finished with 16 points to lead the Wildcats.
Rogersville was 5-7 after opening the new year 1-3 against Central Ozark Conference foes (the Wildcats defeated Ozark and lost to Branson, Marshfield and Webb City). But since then, Rogersville has found its stride, starting with a win over Cape Girardeau Central (55-48) at the Laker Shootout. Rogersville grinded out a hard fought win over Glendale (44-41) to open the Rogersville Tournament and Republic (47-45) in the semifinals.
"We're not the biggest team. so we've had to do a lot of defensive work and get stronger on defense, which we have," Marcus Gorman said. "I don't even know what to say right now, I'm pretty excited.
"We just had to play good defense and whenever we shoot good everything is a lot better."
Rogersville head coach Rod Gorman said a big part of the Wildcats success during its run has been at the defensive end where they are allowing just 48 points during the winning streak.
"We found some offensive flow and we got tougher defensively," Rogersville head coach Rod Gorman said. "We knew at the Blue and Gold time that we had to get better in those two areas and we are playing with a lot of confidence and making a lot of shots.
"When you shoot the ball, you are never going to shoot it well all the time, but we have good shooters and we can make 3-pointers and free throws and we can get on a roll and have one or two guys make one and other guys will make one."
On Saturday, Ozark got a game-high 17 points from senior Tyler Clanton and 13 points (11 in the second half) from senior Brett Krisik. Ozark head coach Steve Hunter said the Tigers made hay in the paint in the second half. The Tigers opened the fourth quarter by scoring on each of its first five possessions during an 11-2 run, much of which came either in the paint or at the free throw line.
"The big thing is we were 1-for-10 from the (3-point) ark and we settled for outside shots in the first half," Hunter said. "And the second half we went inside which is where we should have been in the first place."
Ozark (9-8) entered the Rogersville tournament having lost four straight, including losses to two teams who have been ranked No. 1 in Missouri Class 5. The Tigers losing streak began with a close loss in the championship game of the Blue and Gold Tournament to Nixa, the state's No. 1 ranked team until a knee injury sidelined senior Jalen Norman at the Tournament of Champions.
And, the Tigers fell to Hazelwood Central at the Laker Shootout. Hazelwood Central has since climbed to the top of the Class 5 rankings.
The Tigers opened the Rogersville tournament with a convincing 67-36 win over Camdenton, then ran away from Strafford, 69-39, a team the Tigers narrowly defeated at the Blue and Gold.
"We played two great games and we beat two teams by 30 this week and we haven't done that all year long so I'm not concerned," Hunter said. "They are playing harder and more defense and making shots and once you get confidence and playing hard you get the results.
"This time of year if we had lost two and tanked it I would be concerned but I'm very pleased."
Ozark 13 5 17 23 — 58

RSU 10 fans support each other
Students from the RSU 10 fan section are seen cheering on the state champion Dirigo Cougars here. (Times photo by Bruce Farrin)
DIXFIELD -- A community is a group of people having a religion, race, profession, or other particular characteristic in common.
In our community, we have one very important characteristic in common: the love of basketball.
The fan section for the Dirigo boys' basketball team at each of the playoff and championship games over February break consisted of all three schools of RSU #10: Dirigo, Mtn. Valley and Buckfield.
Before the Dirigo boys' Western Maine Championship game, we tallied about half the students in the student section were from Dirigo, and the other half being mostly Mtn. Valley. They were at the both of the Mtn. Valley basketball teams preliminary games as well.
The fan section as seen in the background of a foul shot on TV, or the big, white crowd seen at the game is what makes the Civic Center roar.
With the back and forth chants from both team's cheering sections, it's the competition to be the loudest.
Being a student of that section, the biggest thing is to be original. During the Western Maine Championship game, the Old Orchard Beach Seagulls were the opponents. To distract them during foul shots without being completely rude, one student, Ayla Allen from Mtn. Valley, came up with the idea for everyone to yell "Mine, mine, mine!" randomly just like the seagulls from the movie "Finding Nemo."
The other part is to be louder than the other section. When they're chanting their school name, it's our job to chant ours twice as loud of the same time. Then there's the classic come back with "We can't hear you," but obviously, they can.
Ben Holmes, senior forward of the basketball team, says about the fan section, "They influence the momentum of the game. They get you pumped as well as discouraging the other team."
At the end of the night, we gather in the cafeteria of the Dirigo High School to celebrate the win or loss as one giant community. The Western Maine Foothills coming out to support each other.

In high school I started varsity soccer all four years so if you are looking for a decent female player for your inter mural team, I'm your girl.
I had a great time in college in a little place made famous by The Office. I possibly had a better time in law school, minus all that pesky studying.
I give people incredible nicknames.
While all that probably sounds borderline amazing, I do have my flaws. For example, I ask a lot of questions during movies.
I don't play relationship games. If I like you, you'll know it. And if you like me I hope you'll show it.
I do play other games, especially words with friends. Want to play? I warn you, I know all the killer two letter words.

Left to fend for themselves, after their SS officer father and mother, staunch Nazi believers, are interred by the victorious Allies at the end of WWII, five German children undertake a harrowing journey that exposes them to the reality and consequences of their parents' actions.
Led by the eldest sibling, 14-year-old Lore (Saskia Rosendahl), they set out on a journey across a devastated country to reach their grandmother in the north. After meeting the charismatic Thomas, a mysterious young refugee, Lore soon finds her world shattered by feelings of both hated and desire as she must learn to trust the one person she has always been taught to hate in order to survive.
Lush cinematography and an evocative, haunting mood infuse this unconventional take on the Holocaust legacy with unforgettable impact.
Based on the book "Lore" by Rachel Seiffert.

Deadly Force Ruled Justified In Stearns County Deputy Shooting Last Fall
The Stearns County Attorney's office says that the deputy who shot and injured Marcus Michael Barshaw in October will not be charged.
According to an investigation conducted by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and a decision made by Stearns County Chief Attorney Michael Lieberg , deputy Chad Meemken's use of deadly force was justified to protect himself and other law enforcement, also to prevent Barshaw's escape.
28-year-old Barshaw was indicted by a Stearns County Grand Jury for first degree murder in the killing of Jeffery Schultz. According to police, Barshaw had shot 30-year-old Shultz multiple times on Oct. 21 in Rockville.
According to the statement of probable cause, Meemken shot Barshaw later on that day after he came out of an apartment holding what was believed to be an assault rifle. Barshaw did not put down his weapon when he was told to by police. Meemken shot and injured Barshaw as he began to point his weapon at Meemken.

Red is a great accent color. A little bit goes a long way. I love the gray pinstripe upholstery and the wire table base that continues that theme. They have used just enough red to add interest, like a necktie with a suit.
I think this is interesting. The chandelier is covered in fabric, and I can't tell if the chairs are wrapped in fabric or tape. The space is entirely neutral, except for the pops of red.
Red sofa and chairs are a great design solution for this space. The area rug grounds the sofa, so that it doesn't seem to float above the floor. There is no wall space for art, and the white walls enhance the large windows. The red furniture provides all the warmth and color that this space needs, without detracting from the windows.
Red can be difficult to match perfectly. I love this photo, because the rug, chairs and paint colors are so perfectly matched. There are actually several shades of red in this rug, which makes it a perfect candidate for color matching. If you want to try this yourself (with any color) a paint color matching computer will get a better sample from the fabric than the rug, because of the way the rug texture affects the light. The paint color taken from the fabric may need to be modified by adding a few drops of black, which will adjust for the differences in textures. That modification is best done on site, as you go along with the painting process under the actual lighting conditions in the space.

Note about the Guest Blog: B21 has produced in full a letter sent from the Music Minister at Clifton Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky to thousands of other church muscians on why this minster's congregation has chosen not to emphasize patriotism in their corporate worship. B21 believes there is much wisdom in this minister's words and we hope that this letter will be helpful for us and our readers as we all consider patriotism in corporate worship.
Guest Blogger: Chip Stam, the author of the letter, is also the Director for the Institute of Worship at Southern Seminary.
[This went out to several thousand church musicians. This version is current as of April 5, 2007.]
Dear Pastors and Church Musicians:
I want to comment on Memorial Day and July 4th and how they overlap with the life of church music and faithful Christian worship.
I am a very patriotic American. I cry when the planes fly over the football stadium and when we sing "America the Beautiful." I pay my taxes with enthusiasm and, to my knowledge, have never missed an opportunity to vote in state and national elections. I would guess that the vast majority of the U. S. citizens in our congregation are also extremely patriotic.
HOWEVER, as a local congregation, we choose NOT to use these national celebrations as an emphasis in our worship services. Here are our reasons:
1. It is just too easy to confuse what it means to follow Christ with what it means to be a loyal U.S. citizen. Especially when hard-hitting emotional presentations are made with flags and uniforms and pledges, it is too easy to get mixed up about where our allegiance should be. However, we ARE quick to pray for our country and for our leaders and we are quick to thank God for the freedom of worship that we enjoy. We are also faithful to pray for believers in other countries who do not enjoy the freedom to worship Christ openly.
2. We have many internationals in our congregations, many of whom are experiencing American culture for the first time, and some of whom are considering the Christian faith for the first time. We do not want to have the bold gospel of the Cross somehow confused in their minds with Uncle Sam and a particular form of government or foreign policy.
3. When a mood of patriotic celebration is present, it seems to be about two clicks away from partisan politics. While we strongly encourage citizens to vote, we are amazingly silent concerning how exactly Christians should vote. If anything, we want believers who are committed to different views on social programs and public policies to be ONE IN CHRIST. There are some fine Scriptures that support this position.
I realize that there are many Christ-centered churches that pull out all the stops (and flags) for these civic celebrations. My intent here is to share with colleagues in ministry how we have worked through some of these issues in a way that seems consonant with our understanding of the Lord's will for our congregation. May God's richest blessings be on you and your congregations—and on our country.
Respectfully submitted,
Carl Stam
Director, Institute for Christian Worship
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Minister of Music & Worship
Clifton Baptist Church, Louisville, Kentucky
B21's Nathan Akin will lead a webinar for the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina on the topic, "Raising Up Future Elders and Church Planters: How to be Intentional about 2 Timothy 2:2." Nathan will take a look at how local churches should be intentional about multiplying leaders and will draw on the internship he went through at Open Door Baptist Church.
From the State Convention Registration Website: Nathan Akin will take a look at the Biblical call for pastors to raise up men who will be future leaders in their church and in churches that they will plant. We will specifically look at being intentional about training these men. Nathan will reflect upon the training that he went through as a good model to establish in other churches. Every church should be seeking to multiply its leaders and therefore seeking to multiply itself through planting, but this has to be intentional or it will never happen.
When: Thursday March 31 @ 11am – 12pm
Cost: Free
Baptist21 is excited to announce that we will once again host a panel at this year's Southern Baptist Convention to be held in Phoenix, AZ.

There are still many details to be determined, such as: location, cost, etc… stay tuned for more information in the days ahead
Some have asked for resources on what is going on with Rob Bell's new book, "Love Wins." Here are the resources that we have found to be most helpful. In addition, today at 2:30pm The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary will be live-streaming a discussion of the book with Albert Mohler, Russell Moore, Denny Burk, and Justin Taylor

Part 2 of Saved From… To… For…
This post is by no means comprehensive. However, over the past couple of years, God has deepened my love for the Gospel through him teaching me on the points above. It is my prayer that through a better understanding of biblical salvation, perhaps we can minimize statistics such as "twice baptized." I also pray that a better understanding will drive a never-ending gratitude for the Gospel and fuel a quicker obedience to the commands of Christ. Finally, I pray that God would be glorified in our words and deeds as we live lives worthy of the Gospel and go to all the peoples of the earth and herald the good news about Jesus. May we never neglect so great a salvation.

Fort Mill, SC – Schaeffler Group USA Inc, a supplier of industrial and automotive components, plans to expand its existing operations in South Carilina. The $40-million investment is expected to generate 190 new jobs.
"Schaeffler Group USA is proud to continue our long standing partnership with the Town of Cheraw, Chesterfield County and the state of South Carolina. We have a skilled team capable of manufacturing high-quality bearings and engine components for our automotive and industrial customers," said Bruce Warmbold, president and CEO of Schaeffler Group North America.
Schaeffler Group USA has been manufacturing bearings for more than 40 years in Cheraw and has two plants in Chesterfield County. Both facilities will be expanded to produce bearings and engine components for new automotive applications. The expansions will be completed by 2013 and this is the second major expansion of the Chesterfield facilities in the past two years.
The company has multiple plant locations in South Carolina, including Fort Mill and Spartanburg, employing more than 2,300, and making it one of the largest German-based manufacturers in the state.
The Schaeffler Group with its product brands INA, FAG and LuK, is a global manufacturer of rolling bearings and linear products as well as a supplier of high-precision components and systems for engines, transmissions and chassis applications to the automotive industry. The bearings and engine systems produced at the Cheraw facility are used in automotive and industrial applications.
David Diamond
What good news for Cheraw and well done to Gov. Nikki Haley who's trip to the Paris Air Show and a meeting in Germany with Schaeffler's Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler has so far yielded 440 jobs and $78 million in investment for the area. I see that Schaeffler also train young people for the future, it's a shame that more companies don't realise the importance of this as here lies the companies future. I'm also relieved to see that Schaeffler are continuing to maintain a strong presence in Europe as this helps to give confidence for an EU recovery. Although Schaeffler employ more than 74,000 people worldwide, they employ more than 29,000 in Germany and another 22,000 in the rest of Europe excluding Germany and that includes a much needed 315 jobs in the UK where I am from. I wonder - does anyone know about any further expansion plans for Schaeffler within the US ?

According to reports from the C-47 helpline, the stolen aircraft is believed to be none other than the world-renowned 'Fifi Kate! Having dared to flaunt the authority of the forces of law and order, FK conducted a spectacular fly-by and was last seen heading NNW climbing to FL 140. Confirming the authorities' worst fears, it has been established from microwave intercepts set up by MI5.3 (reccurring) that two previously unidentified members of the gang are none other than the 'Dastardly Dutch Duo' – breakaway members of the Eindhoven Faction. This is a serious development!
Breaking News….our Highlands and Island correspondent has just sent word that a C-47, similar in appearance to Fifi Kate has been spotted on a wind-swept ramp at Wick in Caithness. Having been alerted to the possibility, it was expected that a crack anti-terrorist unit of the Highlands police would swoop to make an arrest. The chance was, however, missed as the constable concerned was otherwise occupied with a little old lady parked illegally on a double yellow! With the aircraft now grounded by weather, it would appear that this vicious gang of villains has yet again escaped the net….

Obama has flushed billions of dollars in hard-earned taxpayer money down the drain with his Green energy cronies. We all know about the $500 million flushed down the toilet in the Solyndra debacle.

Please take a moment for all the families of the victims in Ct. I know it breaks all of our hearts to see violence such as this occur. The children. I do not understand this. But I will keep them all in prayer. Joyce
I have done laundry, swept the floor, dusted, bathed the animals, vaccumed the carpets, cleaned up the yard, or part of it, and am also happy to say I took a 1 mile walk. Only 1 mile because while on the walk I was thinking what all I could be doing at home. Tomorrow I go to the hospital for a chest x-ray and stress test. I plan on getting up by 6:30 a.m., and walking to the bus, 2 1/2 miles. I have to get 2 buses to get to the hospital. JoAnn works afternoon shift tomorrow. I told her I just needed her to get me up, or make sure I am up. Take care. I will talk to you all tomorrow. Love
It is very difficult trying to keep up with the exercises with all this cold. I didn't walk today but I did yesterday. Nothing like I did when it was warm out. But I try to keep a positive attitude. Even at this time, I still have 5 more lbs to lose to get back where I was in the summer. But I have not put myself down for this. We all need to keep a positive attitude. Negativity just brings us down. Coming down does damage to a person and can side-track our progress. So to all, keep a positive out-look on your journey, and remember, It Is One Day At A Time. Love Joyce
Went to the drs. It is like pulling teeth. He is 70 yrs old, and getting ready to retire. I am getting a stress test, blood work, chest x-ray, and he did an EKG. But he didn't want to. I am on Medicaid. I told him I wasn't feeling a 100% and I needed this done. He finally agreed. When I went on vacation I weighed 217 and after a week I was 10 lbs. heavier. With the cold I haven't been walking like I used to, but I do get out. Today I weighed 220. So 3 more lbs. I will be back on track. I felt like a million dollars. MOTIVATION!!! Anyways, I am just wishing everyone a great day. Love
Got up this morning and walked 4 miles to Elm Grove post office. On the way home a neighbor stopped and said, are you now ready for a ride home? I said Yes. But I did 4 miles in 220 minutes. According to tracker I was walking a 55 mile walk. Used over 900 calories. Anyways I go to the doctors tomorrow and get a mammogram. Talk to you all later. Love

+ Premier Sotheby's hires new broker associate
The new broker associate at Premier Sotheby's International Realty in Lakewood Ranch also likes to fight fires.
The real-estate company announced March 25 that Douglas Grosso, a volunteer fireman with a master's degree in business administration, has joined the firm.
Grosso began his real-estate career in Fort Lauderdale, working in commercial and general real-estate sales.
Grosso has also worked as a mortgage banker/loan originator and a commercial production manager, where his responsibilities included recruitment of loan officers and coordination of sales and marketing programs.
"We are delighted to have Douglas join our team," said Jodi Emrick, managing broker of Premier Sotheby's International Realty's Lakewood Ranch office. "His well-rounded real-estate background, as well as his experience in banking and customer service, is an asset to our office."
Before joining Premier Sotheby's International Realty, Grosso worked as a business banking relationship manager and managed a portfolio of 120 clients with relationships in excess of $20 million.
He also has experience as a project manager for a land-development company and as a commercial real-estate broker for an international real-estate firm.
An enthusiastic outdoorsman, he enjoys hunting, fishing, boating, sailing and diving.
He is a current member and prior vice president of the Sarasota Sportsmens Association and helps educate local youth about outdoors sportsmanship and safe practices.
+ Business broker sees opportunity in Manatee
Truforte Business Group, a Fort Myers-based business broker, is opening an office in the East County.
The new office will open the week of April 1. An increase in buyers who seek to own and operate businesses in Manatee and Sarasota counties prompted the expansion.
"We are excited about the opportunities in Sarasota and Manatee counties," says Jamie Aymerich, a local business sales consultant for Truforte, in the statement. "Our clients are always looking for new opportunities, and 2013 seems to have brought about an increase in activity from buyers on a national, as well as international, level."
A former associate publisher of Sarasota magazine, Aymerich joined Truforte last year. She "has been instrumental in the orchestration of opportunities ranging in size from $30,000 up to $3.5 million," according to the release.
Founded in 1994, Truforte now has 10 consultants who broker sales and purchases of businesses. Its new Lakewood Ranch office will be in the ComCenter on Town Center Parkway.
