By KAREN BASSO and RICHARD SHAWSports writers
At the beginning of this season Carbon's baseball coach Lane Herrick made a prolific statement.
"We won't have the same team we did last year, but in the end, we will still be there."
His reference to last years state baseball team, in connection with this years squad which lost many of the key players to graduation came to be more true than almost anyone could have believed. The Dinos were there on the last day of 3A baseball for the season, but didn't quite make it to the final game, instead losing in the losers brackets finals on Saturday morning 16-4 at the hands of Bear River who the Dinos had relegated to that bracket in the first day of play.
In the course of a season in which the Carbon team was ranked first in the state from the beginning until only three weeks from the end, a reversal of roles came about. And in the end, once again, the whole thing ended with a key game against Snow Canyon High, which the Warriors won taking a 7-5 win over the kids from Carbon County in eight innings on Friday night.
The Warriors, who have taken second in the state 3A baseball tournament three out of the last five years, finally got what they and their fans wished for. They won it all on Saturday afternoon beating out Bear River 3-2 in a nine inning game.
Carbon, who came into the tournament with high hopes and rightly so, looked great at the first day of the tournament as they beat up the two top ranked teams in the state, Bear River and Park City. In the morning game they sent the Bears to the losers bracket with a 4-2 victory. Then, that evening they got revenge on Park City for an early season loss at home with a shutout, beating the Miners 4-0.
In the first game against the Bears on Thursday afternoon, it appeared that no matter what the odds against them the Dinos seemed ready to repeat their feat of 2001. Behind 1-0 at the beginning of the second inning, Eric Vigor, the unassuming right fielder for the team, took it on his shoulders to put the team ahead. He smashed a near 440 foot home run over the left field fence bringing in three runs and putting the Dinos ahead for good.
In the fourth inning Carbon put another run over the plate, when Jeff Anderson singled driving the run in. It was their last score in the game. The Bears were able to score another run in the bottom of that inning and then the contest turned into a defensive game with neither team able to score after that.
Bear River did threaten a few more times with the biggest threat coming in the last inning when they had two runners on base with no outs, but Troy Grundy, pitching at his usual high level, was able to get two players to pop up and in the end struck out the final Bear batter.
That set up the game with Park City on Thursday evening, after the Miners had beaten Pine View earlier at Springville High 4-3.
In Carbon's mind they knew they could beat Park City even though they had replaced the Dinos as the number one ranked team a few weeks ago. The early preseason loss to the Miners was just an incentive for better play.
The two teams began as they left off in that preseason contest; a pitchers dual that lasted much of the contest. This time however, the Park City pitcher was not Brandon Rogers; he had been all used up against Pine View earlier in the day. And that was the problem for the Miners; their pitching staff beyond Rogers was not as effective and the game eventually went south for them, but it took Carbon five innings to head it that way.
The hero again was Vigor, who had respectable numbers all season, but on this day had saved his best for championship play. He hit a homer driving in two runs and Carbon was on it's way to victory.
But the important thing about Vigors play just didn't have to do with offense in either Thursday games. His defense, picking off fly balls in a number of instances in both games was key to the victories that day.
Josh Greenwood also pitched an excellent game against Park City allowing seven hits, but controlling the order so they couldn't be strung together for scores.
That gave the team literally all of Friday to prepare mentally for the game against Snow Canyon.It also gave the Warriors time to mull over last years championship game which they lost when their pitcher balked and the umpire let a Carbon runner come in for a score. It was a burr under the saddle they couldn't let sit.
This time Carbon's pitcher was Blake Wilde, and he did very well, holding the Warriors potent offense down almost the whole game.
But at first Carbon's offense wasn't up to par. As Snow Canyon scored two runs in the first three innings, Carbon couldn't get it going. They made a lot of hits, but failed to score.
Finally in the fourth inning Carbon was able to place three runs across the plate after a double by Greenwood, but then the Warriors came right back in the top of the fifth inning and were able to get up by one.
It wasn't over, by no means, however. Carbon struck back in the bottom half of the inning by stringing together some singles and steals. Jamal Lewis came in for a spectacular slide and evened the score up before the outs changed the inning and it was tied 4-4.
The Dinos had many chances after that to go ahead, and at one point had two runners on base, with no outs, but just couldn't bring the boys in.
One play in the middle of this drought made it even worse, and to Carbon fans watching the game infuriated them more than the balk call had made Snow Canyon fans mad a year ago in St. George.
Vigor was at bat and was struck out. When the third strike call was made he jumped up in frustration. At the exact same time Grundy, who had made it to first on a single, took off trying to steal second. The umpire called Vigor for blocking the catcher from throwing the ball to second, and ruled another out, which made it two for Carbon instead of just one. Another runner at third did not move. Without that call, Carbon could have very well scored with only one out on the board, but it was not to be.
Carbon fans and coaches protested loudly. In fact the umpire threatened to throw out part of the Carbon coaching staff for protesting for what he thought was too long and too loud.
Snow Canyon also had it's chances to come back but didn't. The seventh inning saw a pitching change for Carbon as Matt Jewkes, winner of last years championship game came in. But the magic didn't happen and the game went into extra innings.
In the top of the eighth, Jewkes hit Snow Canyon's lead off batter and he walked to first. Then that runner stole second and went to third on a bunt.
The next Warrior batter hit a grounder right to third baseman Jamal Lewis who, along with Zac Cloward, Carbon's catcher was able to put the third base runner in a hot box which Lewis finally ended by tagging him. But the time taken in this play allowed the batter who had hit the grounder to advance to second base.
The Warriors had two out and Carbon was confident they could keep the game under control, but the next batter hit a single and the kids from Santa Clara scored. Then, they were able to drive in that batter with a triple and an error helped Snow Canyon to score another run.
Carbon now had to overcome a three run lead. They were able to bring in one run on a Grundy single, but a grounder and a resulting double play ended the game. Carbon moved into the losers bracket, facing playing three games in one day (Saturday) to keep the 3A crown in Carbon County.
The next morning they ended up facing Bear River once again; the Tremonton team had come full circle and won their way back to a chance for the championship round by beating everyone in the losers bracket.
As the Dinos hit the field on Saturday morning, the players acted as if the steam that had driven the defending state champions to a winning season, had fizzled out. The excitement was missing after the difficult loss the night before.
The game began with hardships for the Dinos as starting pitcher for this game, Jamal Lewis struggled to make the big pitches. After walking several players in the first inning, Lewis and the Dinos found themselves down 3-0 as the second inning began.
With the beginning of the second inning came several big changes, with the most notable coming from a Dino rally which lead to two runs being scored.
The bottom of the second inning also found changes taking place. Lewis was moved to third base, and Herrick brought in Jewkes as the new pitcher.
Unfortunately the second inning turned out much the same as the first. After walking several hitters, Jewkes was taken off the mound and Grundy was brought in.
Grundy stepped up to the challenge and started out pitching strong.
Determined not to give up, the Dinos stepped up to bat and found themselves forcing Bear River to worry about their chances of pulling out a victory against the Dinos. Carbon completed two runs in the top of the third to narrow the Bears lead to 6-4.
The Dinos successfully completed a quick inning by forcing the Bears back to the outfield without scoring a run in the third. By the fourth inning however, the loss the Dinos suffered the previous night began to take its toll on the team.
Batting woes plagued Carbon who were quickly forced to the outfield where a number of errors were committed during the bottom of the fourth inning.
But the most notable struggle for the Dinos was at the pitching position. In the fourth inning alone, Carbon put in four different pitchers including Grundy, Jewkes, Cloward, and Wilde. Despite the changes, the Dinos committed error after error, leading to a 10 run inning for the Bears.
With Bear River ahead of the Dinos 16-4, the Dinos stepped up to bat in the top of the fifth inning in desperate needs of a strong performance just to be able to continue play. The 10 run rule was looming over them and they had to get at least three runs to keep the game going.
This didn't happen however. Three quick outs and the defending state champs went home.
This team has a lot to be proud of, however. They lost many key members from last year, yet still came very close to making a repeat a reality.
A third place finish at state is nothing to sneeze at.

The Board can only take action against a physician's license. It can't help you recover money from a doctor. The board can only take action against an M.D. (Doctor of Medicine), a D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine), a Physician Assistant, a Respiratory Therapist, Athletic Trainer, an Acupuncturist, a Naturopathic Doctor or a Traditional Midwife. It can't help you with problems regarding any other health care professional such as a psychologist, a dentist, or a podiatrist. The Board can't help you with any billing or collection problems.
First, the Board's staff gathers information from a variety of sources, starting with the information you include in your complaint. The staff will gather medical records, collect data and may interview those involved, You will be asked to sign a release of information form to allow the Board to obtain your medical records. Signing this release will speed the handling of your complaint. If it is appropriate, the staff will also obtain a response from the physician involved. When the information gathering is completed, the Board's Complaint Review Committee will review the facts and decide whether to take action against the physician involved.
The Board can take a variety of actions: It can limit, suspend or revoke a physicians's license to practice medicine in Minnesota. It can order a physician to pay civil penalties and to pay all court and investigative costs incurred during the complaint review process. It can order physicians to take more training, to stop treating some illnesses or to stop performing certain procedures. It can order physicians to enroll in appropriate treatment programs. It can issue a written reprimand.
During the review process, the board will protect your identity, unless you consent to have it disclosed. Disclosing your identity can, however, assist the board in investigating your complaint, since physicians must respond to specific complaints rather than to general accusations. The Medical Practice Act provides immunity from civil lawsuits or criminal prosecution to people who file a complaint.
The Board receives some complaints that do not lead to action against physicians. The Board cannot take action against a physician unless there is sufficient evidence to show that the physician violated Minnesota's Medical Practice Act. The Board must thoroughly review each complaint before it takes any action.
The Board of Medical Practice has sixteen members including eleven physicians and five members of the general public, all appointed by the Governor. The Board is supported by a professional staff. The staff and the Board work closely with attorneys from the Minnesota Attorney General's Office when reviewing complaints against physicians.

ABC Moves 'Body of Proof' to Midseason
According to Variety, the ABC medical examiner series that was to debut at 9PM on Fridays this fall has been pushed to midseason. The reason? ABC wants to give it a chance in a better timeslot.
ABC plans to give the series a healthy marketing plan prior to launch. You know, like they gave the now-cancelled 'My Generation.' (Those billboards and public transportation ads are still up, by the way.)
There are a few possible timeslots for 'Body of Proof' to slip into: 'The Whole Truth' has not been a ratings success at 10PM on Wednesdays, and 'Detroit 1-8-7' has slumped at 10PM on Tuesdays.
CBS rules Friday nights with 'Blue Bloods.' NBC's 'Outlaw' has already fallen to Tom Selleck's might, so it's probably better that the show is finding a different home. In 'Body of Proof's' place on Fridays will be 'Primetime: What Would You Do?'
'Body of Proof' stars Delany as Dr. Megan Hunt, a brilliant neurosurgeon who becomes a medical examiner after a series of emotional traumas. The series also stars 'Star Trek: Voyager' alumna Jeri Ryan,

UBS, the world's biggest private bank, wants its identity to rival HSBC and Citigroup. It will ditch its well-known Warburg and PaineWebber brands - taking a $1 billion write-off on the discarded names. While the move should eventually pay off in attracting new business, the short-term upheaval may scare conservative private banking customers away.
Lukas Muehlemann's departure from his twin roles at Credit Suisse was no surprise, given the company's plummeting share price and US probes into the allocation of hot stock offerings. But new management alone will not solve the bank's problems. The new joint CEOs - inside players John Mack and Oswald Gruebel - now need a new strategy.
Citigroup is beset by regulatory difficulties, adding to existing market turbulence. The group is under investigation for handing prized IPO shares to some of its private clients in the hope of gaining investment banking business from them later. Overall, this huge symbol of capitalist excess is looking battered.
As Datamonitor had predicted, the US economy is experiencing a slow-growth recovery. Consumer spending has remained strong despite worsening employment. With business spending still weak, it's unlikely that consumers can keep buying forever. Even so, the likeliest outcome for Q3 is further moderate growth: in the region of 2-2.5%.
Two CSFB senior executives (and four ex-employees) have been suspended for charging excessive brokerage fees on newly-issued technology shares during the dotcom boom. The news comes at a bad time for parent Credit Suisse, which recently announced a higher than expected Q2 loss and is in the process of restructuring to salvage its ailing share price.
It's earnings season, and some leading US brokers performed far better this Q2 than they managed last year. However, this is unlikely to make life easier for IT vendors who derive business from Wall Street firms. The profits rise is driven almost entirely by cost cutting, and financial firms will stay extremely cost conscious for the rest of the year.
UBS' plan to reach the mass affluent has aroused hostility within its merger partner PaineWebber, which fears being swamped by its Swiss parent. Ultimately, however, new moves to cater for the mass affluent are part of a process begun by the PaineWebber deal itself.
The state of the US economy is a vital influence on almost all businesses' success, wherever they are based. But at the moment, commentators are far from agreed on what's going to happen - making a realistic evaluation of the economy's prospects all the more necessary. Datamonitor's Brendan Ford weighs up the evidence...
Just as Nasdaq prepares to roll out its SuperMontage trading system, a major rival has appeared. Instinet will now account for 22% of transactions in Nasdaq-listed stock, strengthening its position versus the exchange - but its long-term future is still not assured. Instinet's parent Reuters has got the best deal, diluting its holding without creating confidence problems.
HSBC will set up a hedge fund business, in a bid to become the total fund management provider. However, there are risks involved: the bank could fall prey to brand contamination. HSBC's ambitions in this area are sure to revive talk of a merger with Merrill Lynch, although Merrill may not be particularly receptive.

Pu-erh is one of the most interesting and sought after teas these days because of its medicinal properties as well as its general collectibility. With pu-erh cakes from decades past going for thousands of dollars these days, collecting pu-erh for long-term storage can be quite an investment.
Before deciding where and how to store pu-erh, you have to figure out which type of pu-erh you are actually in possession of. Jump over to Wikipedia to decide whether you have a raw pu-erh or ripened pu-erh. Ripened pu-erh has already gone through a secondary fermentation process to "fake" the aging process, so further aging this tea may produce a questionable result. Raw pu-erh is what most speak of when discussing the storage of pu-erh cakes.
Tea natually takes on the odors wherein it is stored; this is wonderful for adding a hint of vanilla or bergamot to your tea, but in the case of storing pu-erh — finding a neutral smelling place to store it is of utmost importance. Stéphane Erler from http://teamasters.blogspot.com suggests you "flake [off] some pu-erh and put it in the open for a couple of months in the basement and in your other alternative place(s). Then smell and taste the different samples to see which aged best over this period."
Pu-erh enthusiasts recommend storing the tea at 60-80% relative humidity, while carefully monitoring the tea to ensure that no mold or any other unsightly organisms are making home in the tea. Wesley Crosswhite took this information and came up with quite the creative solution seen here: http://thegreenteareview.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
It has also been said that pu-erh ages better when stored with many other cakes at the same time. This kind of makes me want to grab a shovel and dig my own pu-erh cave below my floorboards and fill it with puerh cakes. Pu-erh ages best when kept in the bamboo wrappers groups of cakes come in, unfortunately these packs of pu-erh are hard to come by in western countries.
The main take-away points are:
- Keep the tea in an odor-free environment.
- Keep the relative humidity between 60 and 70%.
- Keep a constant flow of fresh air going through your storage place.
- Keep the storage area dark.
- Keep the tea covered with a breathable material (fabric, or the original paper wrappers work fine) free from dust.
- Always test the are you plan to store your tea in with a small amount of tea to save yourself from ruining a large amount of pu-erh.
- Check the progress of your tea often.
If anyone has any solutions to pu-erh storage or any corrections, feel free to let us know!

Name: Helen Hernandez
Where body found: Just off Baculite Mesa Road in Pueblo County
Agency: Pueblo County Sheriff's Department
Date killed: June 15, 1984
Cause of Death: Strangulation
Suspect: Jeffery Newsome, 45, serving life in prison in Alabama
A former Fort Carson soldier discarded the nude bodies of a girl and young women in remote areas in Germany; Guntersville, Ala.; and possibly Pueblo County.
Jeffery Newsome is a suspect in the death of Helen Hernandez, whose body was discovered on July 5, 1984, off Baculite Mesa Road.
Newsome, 45, is currently serving a life term in the St. Clair Correctional Facility in Alabama for killing Kim Vaughn, according to Alabama Department of Corrections records.
In that case, Vaughn's nude body was discovered in 1986 near Alder Springs, Ala., close to where witnesses saw Newsome's jeep stuck in the mud, said Sonny Riddle, Marshall County sheriff's investigator. She had been strangled, Riddle said.

Newsome was later convicted of killing Christianne Lutz, 17, whose body was found in 1986 near an Army base in Germany after he was dishonorably discharged in a drug case, according to a news article by The Advertiser-Gleam of Guntersville, Ala.
Riddle had gone to Germany to testify against Newsome. While he testified, he said Newsome never showed any emotion. "He stared straight ahead, never looked at me," Riddle said. "He was very cold."
Newsome was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison after he claimed in court that he accidentally choked her to death with a wire. Riddle said that despite Newsome's claim that it was an accident, he hid the body in a forest.
Riddle also collected evidence that tied Newsome to the death of Fran Cox, who disappeared in 1987. Her body was found by Boy Scouts camping on Buck Island in 1989. Newsome had been dating her at the time.
Newsome didn't become a suspect in the death of Helen Hernandez of Pueblo until after his convictions in Germany and Alabama. Pueblo sheriff's investigators had done a national search for information about similar cases.
On June 15, 1984, Hernandez was returning home from her manufacturing job in Colorado Springs when she disappeared, said Lt. Don Leach, of the Pueblo County Sheriff's Department.
Hernandez had graduated two years earlier from high school and had never gotten into trouble, Leach said. Decades later, he would get calls from her friends asking whether the case was solved.
On the day she went missing, Hernandez drove passed Fort Carson, where Newsome was stationed. Her vehicle was later located abandoned alongside Interstate 25.
Her nude body wasn't discovered until July 5, 1984. She, too, had been strangled, Leach said.
Investigators questioned Newsome about the murder, but he denied having anything to do with it. But the similarities between Hernandez's murder and the deaths of the women in Alabama and Germany are remarkable, he said.
"He's clearly a person of interest," Leach said.
Two years ago, investigators submitted DNA evidence discovered in connection with Hernandez's case. Leach declined to say what the tests determined, if anything.
Solving a homicide that is nearly a quarter-century old will take good police work, he said. He said he's not sure what will make the difference.
Contact information: Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Pueblo County Sheriff's Department at 719-583-6400. Denver Post reporter Kirk Mitchell can be reached at 303-954-1206 or email@example.com/.

Letter: Does anyone remember the Golden Rule?
Donna Marano, Stuart
Letter: Does anyone remember the Golden Rule?
What happened to the Golden Rule and empathy for our fellowmen? Is everyone "too into themselves" to care?
I've lived and worked in Stuart and Hobe Sound for almost 25 years. Many hours of my time have been donated to volunteer work for organizations helping other people.
In July, I underwent two extremely serious surgeries that were touch and go as to if I would survive or not! After almost seven weeks of "hell on Earth" I am at home recuperating. I may have setbacks to come, but hope to fully recover.
I have no family here. My friends and neighbors have been very helpful, but I can't keep imposing on them. I've called every organization I can find to get someone to lend a hand periodically for grocery shopping, laundry, etc. So far everyone wants to charge exorbitant prices, which I cannot afford on my low income.
Is there anyone out there who still remembers the Golden Rule and what it means to lend a hand to someone in need?

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) A Kansas house committee plans to hold informational hearings on a bill that would shorten the appeals process for inmates sentenced to die for capital murder, despite concerns the measure should get a broader review.
The measure passed the senate on February 13th and was sent to the house this week, where it was assigned to a conference committee.
The measure shortens the open-ended nature of capital murder appeals in Kansas, limiting the time from conviction to a ruling on the initial appeal by the Kansas supreme court to three-and-a-half years.

|fMRI of Language Recovery Following Stroke in Adults
|Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn how language difficulties caused by stroke improve and test the effectiveness of constraint-induced aphasia therapy.
|Detailed Description
Aphasia (difficulty speaking) is one of the most dreaded consequences of stroke. It is associated with high mortality and severe motor, social, and cognitive disability. During the past decade, therapies administered by stroke teams have made great strides in limiting the damage due to a stroke. Unfortunately, progress in aphasia rehabilitation has not experienced the same rapid advancement. Evidence suggests that the brain may have untapped potential for recovery of aphasia after stroke.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers now are able to examine the areas of the brain that are responsible for language recovery after stroke. Such data may explain how the brain recovers after stroke, and may lead to new therapies to help individuals who have suffered an aphasia-causing stroke.
In this study, researchers will examine the changes the brain undergoes while recovering from an aphasia-causing stroke and the mechanisms that underlie such recovery, and test the effectiveness of a new and promising method of aphasia rehabilitation called constraint-induced aphasia therapy (CIAT). The scientists will perform fMRI studies of brain activation in people who have suffered an aphasia-causing stroke in order to better understand the underlying mechanisms of recovery from aphasia. Specifically the researchers will compare language activation between adults with stroke and children with perinatal and postnatal stroke (from previous studies); map changes in language activation, characterize the patterns of language reorganization that occur following stroke; and use the fMRI measures to assess recovery using CIAT.
The study will last one year, during this time participants will have language testing to evaluate the degree of aphasia and its recovery; and five fMRI scans scheduled at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 26 weeks, and 56 weeks. Participants with remaining moderate aphasia will be offered a chance to participate in an extension treatment study that will last up to 3 months.
A better understanding of brain changes during recovery from aphasia may help develop new methods to improve recovery.

This no-holds-barred autobiography chronicles the remarkable life of Phil Robertson, the original Duck Commander and Duck Dynasty star, from early childhood through the founding of a family business.
Life was always getting in the way of Phil Robertson's passion for duck hunting.
An NFL-bound quarterback, Phil made his mark on Louisiana Tech University in the 1960s by playing football and completing his college career with a master's degree in English. But Phil's eyes were not always on the books or the ball; they were usually looking to the sky.
Phil grew up with the dream of living the simple life - living off the land like his forebears. But he soon found himself on a path to self-destruction — leasing a bar, drinking too much, fighting, and wasting his talents. He almost lost it all until he gave his life to God. And then everything changed.
Phil's incredible story tells how he followed a calling from God and soon after invented a duck call that would begin an incredible journey to the life he had always dreamed of for himself and his family. With great love for his country, his family, and his Maker, Phil has finally found the ingredients to the "good life" he always wanted.

Last weekend I attended the International Quilt Market in
Salt Lake City, Utah. This was my first Market experience, and I enjoyed every
second of it. It was so great to
meet face to face with people that I have communicated with solely through
email. It was also a treat to see some of the new trends, fabric lines,
gadgets, and quilts that people have come up with. As a team, we discovered some great new products, ideas, and art that we cannot wait to share with you in upcoming magazines. Stay tuned for more details and hints!
Here are a few pictures of us in our own booth at the show:
Above: Marlene, Pokey, Helen, and Barbara!
Above: Helen, Pokey, Barbara, and me!
As I mentioned, I was very excited to meet people that I previously have only communicated with through email. I was very excited to meet the Jung family in person. Here is an update on the Jung family – the fabric designers
that were featured in this blog post. They have a new line out, as well as a
new member of their team!
The booth looks great. Glad you had a good time at your first Quilt Market! Sounds like alot of fun. Looking forward to seeing you at Festival in Long Beach!
Awesome Lindsey! I had the opportunity to go with a fabric designer, but it just didn't work out this time... but I dream of my first market. Hope you post lots of pictures of it.

Northamptonshire have given former Gloucestershire and Middlesex seamer David Burton the chance to resurrect his county career.
The 25-year-old, who played for Northamptonshire in the final County Championship match of last season against Leicestershire at Wantage Road, has impressed on trial this season and has now signed a one-year contract.
Burton played for Northamptonshire's first team again in last weekend's two-day tour match against India and took the wicket of Virender Sehwag.
Fast bowler Burton has taken 27 wickets in ten Second XI matches so far this season and also scored 99 against Worcestershire at Wantage Road.
"I'm thrilled to have earned a contract with Northamptonshire. As a lot of people know, I've been working hard for a long time, trialling and playing 2nd XI cricket for Northants and other counties," Burton said. "It's great that Northants have stuck by me over the past couple of seasons.
"I know the performances have to remain consistent in the first XI and hopefully I can continue to work hard and contribute to the team over the next season."
Burton made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire in 2006 and played 12 first team matches for Middlesex in all competitions in 2008 and 2009.
"David has worked really hard and put in some good performances for the second team," said Northamptonshire head coach David Capel. "He is not shy of putting the work in, he wants to invest in his future and has done it all off his own back.
" It gives me a lot of pleasure to reward his tenacity and the attitude he has shown to his cricket."

Take Action
Our Upcoming Events
Schools & Parks
Schools and Parks are the foundations our neighborhoods. I believe that every park should be clean and accessible and that youth should have quality school campuses and ample after school options. I have used the majority of my Council office's discretionary funds on Oakland schools and parks to improve accessibility, quality, and safety.
Every school deserves our support, whether is it a conventional public school, a small school, a charter school or a private school. I am currently planning or implementing projects using my discretionary funds at the following public schools: Glenview Elementary, Delores Huerta Learning Academy, Urban Promise Academy, and United for Success (at Calvin Simmons). I would like to do projects at Fremont Federation (Mandela, Robeson, Architecture, and Media College), Jefferson Elementary, Lazear Elementary, and Hawthorne Elementary. I also coordinate with the Oakland Unified School District regularly around issues of safety and access to recreation facilities.
Parks are key to a good neighborhood. Geographically, District 5 is one of the smallest districts but the most densely populated. It has a limited amount of open space to serve its residents. I am committed to developing creative uses of schools and other public facilitates to bring recreational opportunities to District 5 residents. I am planning or implementing improvements at the following parks: Josie De La Cruz/Sanborn Park, Cesar Chavez Park, Jungle Hill, Manzanita Recreation Center and Fremont Pool.
Oakland taxpayers have been very generous in supporting our youth. In 1996, Voters passed Measure K, which created the Oakland Fund for Children and Youth (OFCY). This is funded by a 2.5% earmark of the City's General Fund ($10-$12 million). Measure Y (The Public Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2004) is a voter-approved parcel and parking tax that funds about $6 million per year in violence prevention programs. I continue to work to ensure these programs are well-managed and effective.

Several years ago, a few days before Easter, an administrator of a local church called Cory's Audio Visual Services in a panic. The church's new sound system wasn't working, and the company that sold it to the church wasn't answering the phone.
Within four hours that afternoon, Cory's technicians had the system up and running, and the church since has been a loyal customer.
It's the kind of story in which Cory Chief Executive Brad Poarch revels.
"Our company very much is relationship-based," Poarch said. "We stand behind what we do and, if there's a problem, we're there."
Cory's leases projectors, screens, lighting and other AV equipment to churches; schools, including the University of Central Oklahoma and Oklahoma City University; and other businesses and organizations hosting commencements, conferences and events.
But equipment rental is only half its business. Fifty percent of the company's revenues are from selling, installing and training on AV equipment, from $3,000 to half-million-dollar systems, for Devon Energy, Continental Resources, OGE Energy Corp. and others.
Said Chief Operating Officer John Cory, who custom designs corporate systems, "As equipment becomes cheaper and cheaper, many would rather buy than rent it three or five times a year."
Poarch, 34, and Cory, 33, are cousins who bought the business in February of last year. Their grandfather, the late Joseph F. Cory, in 1953 founded the firm that was carried on by his son and John Cory's father, Joseph A. Cory.

New Concessions and Restaurants Make Memphis International Airport Great Place to Land
December 19, 2007
On December 15, Memphis International Airport unveiled its new restaurants and concessions. The renovations to the airport's concessions cost approximately $25 million and took two years to complete. Four primary operators have long-term contracts to operate restaurants or concessions at Memphis International Airport: The Paradies Shops, Anton Airfood, DNC - Travel Hospitality Services and The Hudson Group.
The new concessions were designed to be Memphis-centric and feature local favorites such as Interstate BBQ, Back Yard Burgers, Lenny's, Corky's, Grisanti's Bol a Pasta, Folk's Folly, Huey's, Sun Studio, The Memphis Zoo, the Memphis Rock & Soul Museum and Elvis Presley Enterprises. In addition to the well known Memphis names, the airport now boasts new major brands and Memphis-themed restaurants such as Varsity Grill, Blue Note Café, Einstein Bagels, Starbucks, Arby's, CNBC News and Hudson News.
"For thousands of people each week, Memphis International Airport is their introduction to Memphis, or even their only experience with the city," said Larry D. Cox, president and CEO of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority. "We wanted that experience to give our guests a real flavor of Memphis. From the food they eat, to the stores they shop, to the artwork on the walls, our goal was to entice them to want more of the one-of-a-kind Memphis experience."
Artwork by local artist Ephraim Urevbu can be seen along the connectors between terminals. The hometown theme is continued with murals throughout the terminals that depict a variety of recognizable Memphis scenes from music, art, tourism, history and industry. With all these renovations, one thing is clear; Memphis International Airport is set to soar head and shoulders above the rest.

Milton Resnick
|Milton Resnick
Untitled, c. 1990, acrylic painting on paper, private collection
January 7, 1917
Bratslav, Kovno Governorate, Russian Empire
|March 12, 2004(aged 87)
|Known for
|Abstract Expressionism
|Pat Passlof
|Jimmy Ernst Award (1990)[1]
Milton Resnick (January 7, 1917 – March 12, 2004)[2] was an abstract expressionist painter and teacher known for his mystical, abstract and figurative paintings. Born in Bratslav, Russia, he emigrated to the United States in 1922.
Milton Resnick was one of the last survivors of the first generation of the New York Abstract Expressionists. Born in Russia, Resnick and his family left and arrived in New York City in 1922 at age five. He settled in Brooklyn with his family and attended public school where a teacher renamed him from his birth name of Rachmiel and nickname of Milya to Milton. At age 14, he enrolled in the commercial art program at the Pratt Institute Evening School of Art in Brooklyn, but a teacher there suggested he switch to fine arts, so the next year he enrolled in the American Artists' School in New York City. Ad Reinhardt, future Abstract Expressionist, was a classmate, and they shared a budding interest in abstraction.
However, Resnick's father forbid any expression from his son of wanting to be an artist and faced with this disapproval of his commitment to painting, Resnick moved out in 1934 when he was 17. He supported himself as an elevator boy and continued at the American Artists' School, where he was given a small studio room and each day provided with materials left behind by students attending night classes.
During the Great Depression, Resnick was in the Easel and Mural Division of the WPA of the Works Progress Administration. By 1938, he had his own studio on West 21st Street, and there was nearby Willem de Kooning with whom he formed a close friendship in the 1940s. However, Resnick's art career was interrupted by World War II, and he served five years in the Army, stationed in Iceland and Europe.[3] After the war he lived for three years in Paris, where among others, he associated with modernist sculptors Alberto Giacometti and Constantin Brâncuși. He endured near-starvation during this period only to have the one show of his work created in Paris canceled by an unsavory dealer.
In 1948, Milton Resnick returned to New York, and used his G.I. benefits to enroll in abstract expressionist painter Hans Hofmann's school. He also took a studio on East 8th Street, near Jackson Pollock, de Kooning, and Franz Kline, and in September through de Kooning met artist Pat Passlof,[4] whom he married in 1961. Passlof (1928–2011) was also an accomplished abstract expressionist painter and remained married to Resnick until his death in 2004.
In the late 1940s, he debated painting with his friends and colleagues Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock, sometimes at The Club,[5][6] a regular meeting of modern artists working in and around Tenth Street in New York.[7] Like them Resnick was striving for an overall quality for his pictures, a way to unite foreground and background, in order to achieve a resolution of opposites, a metaphor for all dialectics. While the others moved toward throwing or dragging quantities of paint across the face of the canvas, Resnick retained a particularly personal and impassioned confrontation with brush painting. Sometimes his work was referred to as Abstract Impressionism because of his all over style. Coming into prominence just as Pop Art moved into the limelight, his great accomplishments weren't recognized to the extent some thought they merited, as a painterly integration of Western metaphysics and Eastern philosophy. In his mature years, he worked in a converted synagogue on Eldridge Street in the Lower East Side, attended by devoted students, admirers, and his wife Pat Passlof.[4]
During the 1950s and 1960s, Resnick earned respect for his Abstract Expressionist paintings and also was one of the few New York artists to have a large working space for large-scale canvases. In 1976, he purchased the space that served him to the end of his active career, an abandoned synagogue on Eldridge Street on New York's lower east side. It was near his wife's studio, which was another abandoned synagogue purchased by the couple in 1963.

Ray McNulty: In London's opening ceremonies, the athletes are the stars
LONDON — There was no way London could hope to outdo the unforgettable spectacle of Beijing, where 2008 Olympic organizers used the power, precision and pyrotechnics of their opening ceremonies to welcome the world for the first time.
So they didn't try.
Instead, they treated us to something different — something equally as memorable and, maybe, in its own way, something better.
They gave us something human.
The past two Summer Games were all about the venues. Four years ago, there was the mystique of China, a faraway land few of us had visited and even fewer knew much about. Four years before that, there was the return to Athens, birthplace of the ancient Olympics.
The 2012 Olympics aren't about London, or England, or any of Great Britain.
They're merely our host.
These Summer Games are destined to be about the games — the competition, the goodwill and sportsmanship and, more than anything else, the athletes.
This is their Olympics.
And Friday night's opening ceremonies in a magnificent Olympic Stadium, built on a part of the city heavily bombed during World War II, made sure everyone knew it.
From start to finish, the ceremonies were a celebration of people, much more so than any particular place.
Yes, much of the first hour was a British history lesson, from the empire's rural roots through two World Wars and the Industrial Revolution, and into the digital age of today.
There was plenty of British culture, too, from Shakespeare to James Bond to the Beatles, and even "Mr. Bean," homegrown comedic actor Rowan Atkinson, who was featured in two "Chariots of Fire" skits that filled the arena with laughter.
It was a delightful show — serious at times, lighthearted enough to make it fun, but almost always entertaining.
Always about people.
Especially the athletes.
The Queen was there to officially open the London Games, even participating in a skit with Daniel Craig, the latest in a chain of actors to portray "007." Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, made an appearance. So did Muhammad Ali, who, noticeably suffering from the effects of his long battle with Parkinson's syndrome and supported by his wife, was one of the Olympic flag bearers.
And the feel-good night ended with Paul McCartney belting out "Hey Jude" and leading an 80,000-person sing-a-long.
But even with so much star power in the building — even with so much money spent on such a massive, Broadway-like production — the highlight of the ceremonies was still the parade of athletes.
They were the real stars, the sparkle in their eyes and beaming smiles lighting up the night as they waved to the cheering crowd.
This was their night.
Not London's.
The London organizers made sure of it, surprising everyone by bestowing the honor of lighting the Olympic torch not on a past champion but, rather, on a group of teenage British athletes.
Soccer star David Beckham piloted a speedboat along the River Thames to deliver the flame to the stadium, where Steven Redgrave, a rower who won five team gold medals in five different Olympics, was waiting outside.
Redgrave then carried the flame into the arena and handed it to the teens, literally passing the torch to what Britain hopes will be the next generation of Olympians.
Given the tone of the evening, it was a fitting gesture.
As the 30th Olympiad of the modern era began, London did exactly what it wanted to do — put on a show far different but every bit as memorable as Beijing gave us four years ago.
London also did what it needed to do, opting for something special over something spectacular.
The opening ceremonies, as wonderful as they were, will not be the story of these Olympics.
Nor will the venues.
Or the city.
Or, as was the case with the past two Summer Olympics, the context in which the Games will be played.The real story of London 2012 will be written across the next 16 days by the 10,490 athletes who will compete here.
And, in its own very human way, that's every bit as good as what Beijing gave us.
Maybe better. BIG DAY FOR OLYMPICS TV

DENVER (MarketWatch) — Justin Danhof took the floor at Honeywell International Inc.'s annual meeting in Morris Township, N.J., on Monday to ask about the company's taxpayer-funded biofuels demonstration project in Hawaii.
Chief Executive David Cote's response was that he was "comfortable" with what the company has done with a $25 million green-energy grant it received from the Obama administration.
Danhof is general counsel for the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative, free-market think tank in Washington.
Cote, who heads Honeywell HON, +0.09% a well-known manufacturing company with $38 billion in annual revenue, has advised President Barack Obama personally on the nation's debt load as it piles up to the $20 trillion mark.
Obama appointed Cote to the Simpson-Bowles commission, which unofficially proposed an all-American slashing that would have bled just about everyone to save the nation.
Cote now sits on the steering committee at Fix The Debt, a campaign by Erskine Bowles, a former member of the Clinton administration, and Alan Simpson, a former Republican senator from Wyoming.
Cote also has ranted and raved about the debt on national TV.
In a 2012 interview with CBS News, he called the national debt "ridiculous." He said Medicare would "crush the system." He complained America soon will have more than $1 trillion a year to pay in debt service alone.
Cote also warned debt would condemn the U.S. economy to years of anemic growth and high unemployment. And he promised he wasn't going to create jobs in this miserable environment.
"I wish I'd made up this phrase," he said in the CBS interview, "because it's so good. But it's "capital is a coward." So when it comes to hiring, I let people attrit, they retire, they leave for a variety of reasons, and I'm just not going to backfill those jobs."
Cote is probably right about the cowardice of capital and the dangers of a mounting national debt. And his financial results at Honeywell speak for themselves. He's running a company with tepid sales growth but laudable earnings thanks to continuing cost-cutting efforts. Honeywell's first-quarter earnings were up 17% to $966 million, while sales grew a meager 0.2% to $9.33 billion.
The question Danhof raised is why a company that makes billions has to beg the federal government for millions. And all the while, its CEO is on TV with a Chicken Little act about ballooning government debt.
"He's sorely out of touch with reality and definitely out of touch with the average American," Danhof said in a telephone interview.
The one thing worse than airport delays
Lengthy waits at the gate for delayed flights may soon seem like a breeze if furloughs prompt officials to waive three-hour tarmac rule, Kelli Grant reports. Photo: Getty Images.
Honeywell's UOP subsidiary received the $25 million grant in 2010 as part of the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 — you know, that bill that was supposed to put everyone back to work. The Department of Energy anticipated Honeywell's plant would create 85 construction jobs at its peak and 40 permanent jobs during its duration.

NEW KATY, TEXAS. New Katy is on U.S. Highway 290 fifteen miles northeast of Austin in northeastern Travis County. Several scattered houses and a school marked the community on county highway maps in the 1940s, but only the place name was shown on maps in the 1980s. No population estimates were available. By 2000 New Katy was no longer shown on county highway maps.

Amy Tresidder, a Democratic Oswego County legislator who is looking to make the leap to the state Senate, needs all the exposure she can get.
But Mrs. Tresidder didn't get any help from the Oswego Health newsletter, which digitally edited her out of a ribbon-cutting photograph that was taken in April.
Representatives for Mrs. Tresidder's Nov. 6 opponent, state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, remained in the photograph. But the hospital insists that it did not Photoshop Mrs. Tresidder out of the photograph out of political favoritism, but rather because it couldn't identify her in the caption.
"We have apologized to Amy by both phone and by letter," said Marion Ciciarelli, the hospital's public relations manager.
The hospital's president and CEO, Ann C. Gilpin, donated $175 to Mrs. Ritchie in 2011. But no political malice was intended, Ms. Ciciarelli said.
Mrs. Tresidder originally appeared over the left shoulder of Sarah Compo, Mrs. Ritchie's spokeswoman. In the photograph that ran in the newsletter, Mrs. Tresidder is rather sloppily edited out. Her disembodied legs still remain in the photograph; specks of white appear on Ms. Compo's shoulder; and Mrs. Tresidder is replaced with a wall that is an unnatural color of brown. Even a technological Luddite could suss this one out.
Ms. Gilpin phoned Mrs. Tresidder after the newsletter came out over the weekend to apologize. The original photograph which includes Mrs. Tresidder ran in area newspapers and on the hospital's Facebook page.
"She was very sincere in her apology," Mrs. Tresidder said. "I have to take her at her word. We all know how it looks. It looks bad."
She said of the hospital's explanation that it couldn't recognize her: "I find it odd. The hospital is in my district. I'm not really a stranger to the Chamber (of Commerce)," which helped organize the photo-op.
The Fulton Medical Center is a local urgent-care facility that is run by Oswego Health. In April, it was celebrating the end of remodeling.
"It's a very nice facility now," Mrs. Tresidder said.

Whale Carcass removedUPDATED 7:35 PM HST Oct 26, 2013
A massive whale carcass drifting offshore is now in a Waimanalo landfill.
The effort to dispose of the animal was a lot harder than expected.Video Transcript
carcass drifting offshore is now in a Waimanalo landfill. But the effort to dispose of the animal was a lot harder than expected. KITV4's Jill Kuramoto reports from Heeia Kea Boat Harbor. A dirty, smelly job. But someone had to do it. 36:22 IF WE HAD DONE THE NORMAL COURSE OF ACTION AND TOWED THE WHALE 20 MILES OFF SHORE 36:25 IT WAS MORE THAN 90 PERCENT CHANCE THAT IT WAS GOING TO END UP BACK ON SHORE. 36:28 The carcass was attracting sharks, so the Department of Land and Natural Resources hired a contractor to remove it. Once on land... It drew a large crowd. But getting rid of the 55-foot, badly decomposed sperm whale wasn't going to be easy. 17:22 NAT SOUND TOW STRAP SNAPPING 45:55 ITS MISSING ALOT OF ITS ORGANS BUT THAT WAS A 60,000 POUND TOW STRAP THAT JUST SNAPPED SO IT'S A PRETTY HEAVY ANIMAL. 46:02 Researchers determined it was an adult male sperm whale that had been dead for several weeks. Samples of teeth and bones will tell more. 39:45 WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO COLLECT SOME ORGAN SAMPLES SUPRISING CONSIDERING HIS CONDITION. AND WE'RE ABLE TO COLLECT MUSCLE SAMPLES FOR DIVING STUDIES AND GENETICS TO DETERMINE WHAT POPULATION SPERM WHALES HE CAME FROM. 39:55 Scientists say say this is the second sperm whale found dead in Hawaiian waters this year. WHY remains a mystery. But no obvious injuries to this one means it didn't die from being hit by a boat. 49:44 ALTHOUGH WE MAY NEVER REALLY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THIS WHALE TO DIE RESEARCHERS ARE HOPING THEY'LL AT LEAST BE ABLE TO GAIN SOME POSITIVE SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION THAT WILL HELP THEM LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS SPECIES. 49:54 After determining that disposing the whale in one piece wasn't going to be possible... Contractors resorted to plan B... Cutting up the carcass in pieces to take to the Waimanalo Gulch landfill. Jill Kuramoto, KITV4 News. The whale was spotted Wednesday off Kaneohe Bay and then drifted near Kualoa yesterday before being towed to Heeia Kea. Lifeguards at Kualoa were advising beachgoers to stay out of the water after sharks were spotted

|The Game Story:
| ONEONTA, N.Y. - Junior midfielder Devin Poole (Geneva
HS/Geneva, N.Y.) had four goals and one assist, and junior attackman
Brian Prescott (Duxbury HS/Duxbury, Mass.) tallied four goals to lead the
Hartwick College men's lacrosse team to a 21-11 victory over 16th-ranked
McDaniel College (Md.) on Saturday at All-Weather Field.
The Hawks (2-0) controlled the tempo of the game early and took a 10-3 lead at the end of the first quarter. Poole and sophomore attackman Mike Debrossy (Westfield HS/Westfield, N.J.) each had two goals and one assist, and senior midfielder Greg Cohan (Farmingdale HS/Farmingdale, N.Y.) tallied two goals in the first 15 minutes of play.
The Green Terror (1-2) received goals from senior attackman Jeremy Freed (Boys' Latin/Baltimore, Md.) and freshman midfielder Jared Nutter (Moorestown HS/Moorestown, N.J.) to open the second quarter. Hartwick responded by scoring five of the next six goals to take a 15-6 lead into halftime.
Freed scored the first goal of the third quarter, but Hartwick answered with consecutive goals to extend the lead to 17-6. Freshman midfielder Steve Hoffman (LaSalle HS/Latham, N.Y.) scored two unassisted goals to pull McDaniel within 17-8 after three quarters.
Debrossy, Prescott, junior midfielder Mike Rose (Cheshire/Cheshire, Conn.) and freshman attackman Lee Austin (Duxbury HS/Duxbury, Mass.) scored in the fourth quarter for the Hawks. Senior midfielder Pete Shaffer (S. Carroll HS/Sykesville, Md.) and junior midfielder Donnie White (Glen Burnie/Glen Burnie, Md.) finished the scoring for the Green Terror.
