During the trivia game, groups of youth competed against each other to answer questions about the Journey to Emmaus story. It was a team effort to come up with the correct answers.
Scouts help support one another in faith
Scouts gathered at the Pipsico Scout Reservation on a recent weekend in Spring Grove for the 25th Annual Retreat-o-Ree.
"The Retreat-o-Ree is a time to incorporate Catholicism with Scouting in a fun way. We encouraged everyone in our troop and crew to sign up. Our crew is volunteering." said Danetta Jankosky, an adult leader from Troop 408, at Church of the Ascension, Virginia Beach.
"I came because last year I decided why not come and make it as best as I could; as you can see, they are smiling and having lots of fun," said Madison Parker, a 10th grade scout from the volunteer crew. This year's organizer, Lisa Villa, also from Troop 408, shared that "the Retreat-o-Ree is important because it reminds Scouts about their duty to God, and it makes their individual faith stronger."
Blending Scouting and Catholic faith is the main emphasis of the event.
"I think it's a great way to express our Catholic identity in a different way," said seminarian Matt Kiehl, also an Eagle Scout. "There are so many similarities and complementary elements between Scouting and our faith that's a nice opportunity to express that and to have young people integrate all of those components."
This year's theme was Journey to Emmaus, from Luke 24. Part of Saturday morning was spent breaking open that reading. The Venture Crew from Church of the Ascension, who led the retreat, put on a modern day skit to help make the story relevant for the scouts. The story was then proclaimed by Father Rob Cole, pastor of St. John the Apostle in Virginia Beach.
Later in the day, Scouts broke into smaller groups and went to rotating breakout sessions.
David Bessler, an 8th grade youth from Troop 179, at Saint John's, said, "Today we've done rock climbing, trivia about this morning's reading, we made rosary bracelets for the troops, and we've learned about the Saints. Saint George is the patron saint of Boy Scouts."
An outdoor Vigil Mass was celebrated in the field by the Diocesan Scout Chaplains, Father Rob Cole and Father Ken Shuping.
"It's great for the Scouts to see how the Catholic faith interacts with their scouting experience. It's also a chance for them to get out in the beauty of creation and to also get to know their Creator," Father Shuping, an Eagle Scout, said.
"It's a break from reality," said Alexis LaFountaine, a high school junior from Troop 408. "I enjoy it; it's a nice break from school that I think everyone would need."
Although the Retreat-o-Ree is Catholic, all Scouts are welcome.
"It also is an opportunity to bring Catholics back to the church who have maybe been away; they come because of Scouting, but when they get here they are reminded of the Catholic traditions," said Villa, a 7th grader who said that he was not Catholic.

About William Wordsworth
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH WAS BORN on April 7, 1770, in the Lake District of England. After the death of their mother in 1778 and their father in 1783, Wordsworth and his siblings were brought up under the guardianship of their uncles. Wordsworth would later describe frequent bouts of depression and persistent grief for the deaths of his parents and a subsequent separation from his brothers and sisters. As adults, he and his sister Dorothy would become inseparable friends.
Wordsworth toured France in 1791 and fell in love with Annette Vallon, with whom he had a daughter, Caroline. Wordsworth would most likely have married Annette, but the Revolution in France made it impossible for him to stay there, and growing conflict between France and England forced him to take his family home to England. He did, however, support Annette and Caroline for the rest of their lives.
Like William Blake, Wordsworth had been an early supporter of the French Revolution, but was disheartened by the horrible excesses of the Reign of Terror.
He met Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1793, and the two poets became close friends. Together, Wordsworth and Coleridge wrote Lyrical Ballads, a collection of poems that many credit as beginning the English Romantic movement. In Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth and Coleridge attempted to depart from the highly eloquent and stylistic works of the Enlightenment and develop a new form, based on the "real language of men." The collection includes Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey," and Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner."
By 1804, Wordsworth's friendship with Coleridge had begun to deteriorate, largely due to Wordsworth's concern about Coleridge's opium addiction and Coleridge's disillusionment that Wordsworth was losing the liberal idealism that had once driven his work. The poets' friendship, especially their collaboration on the "Lyrical Ballads," is explored in the 2000 film, Pandaemonium.
Wordsworth expected to be named England's Poet Laureate in 1813, but lost the title to his friend Robert Southey (who is best known today as the author of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears"). When Southey died in 1843, Wordsworth was finally appointed to the post.
After his death on April 23, 1850, Wordsworth's widow published the long autobiographical "poem to Coleridge" under the title The Prelude. It did not meet with either critical or commercial success on its original publication, but it is now generally regarded as Wordsworth's masterpiece.
We have within ourselves
Enough to fill the present day with joy,
And overspread the future years with hope.
—William Wordsworth

For anybody, who may be interested, in reading about the circumstances, surrounding Barry Evans death, I have copied, over some information, via the Barry Evans Coroners Report, from various Newspapers, and the alt.comedy.british newsgroup, which I managed to obtain, during the Autumn of 1998.
I have no desire, to add my own comments and opinions to this page, and therefore, it is up to anybody who comes across this page, to make their own conclusions, because I have set up my Barry Evans Website, because I intended it to be aimed at Barry's career, and not the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death, and via the mainframe of this Website, I have already drawn my own conclusions into the mysterious circumstances, surrounding Barry's death, which is good enough for me, but anybody who comes across this page, is more than welcome to draw their own conclusions, thank you.
The Express and Star (Town {Wolverhampton}Final)
Wednesday 14th October 1998
Mystery still surrounds the death of Seventies TV sitcom star Barry Evans - who died from acute alcohol poisoning only days after making a will, an inquest heard today. The coroner for Leicester and South Leicestershire Martin Symington recorded an open verdict on the 52 year-old former star of Doctor in the House and Mind Your Language after hearing he was found dead at his home in February last year with four and a half times the legal drink-drive limit in his blood. Police discovered his fully clothed body lying face down in the lounge of his home, at Claybrooke Magna, Leicestershire, after tracing his car to the detached bungalow. On a nearby table was an empty bottle of whisky and a spilled bottle of aspirins priced before decimalization, the court heard. The court was told a youth was charged with attempting to murder Mr Evans, but charges were later dropped by the CPS.
The Express
Thursday 15th October 1998
By Phillip Derbyshire
Former sitcom star Barry Evans drank himself to death because he could not cope with his declining fame, an inquest heard yesterday. Evans 52 was found dead on his sofa with an empty whisky bottle and a spilled container of aspirin at his side. In the weeks before his death from acute alcohol poisoning in February last year, he had been drinking a bottle of whisky every two days. His body was found to have four-and-a-half times the legal drinking limit of alcohol.
Evans found fame, in 1967, in the Cult Film: Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush. He later, landed the part of Dr Michael Upton, in the Doctor in the House series, before taking on, his best-known role, as the Teacher, in the nineteen seventies Sitcom: Mind Your Language. His friend: RSC Actor: Jimmy Gardner, who had known him, for thirty five years, told the inquest, in Leicester, that Evans, had left London, four years ago, after his acting work, had dried up.
He suffered from mood swings and depression said Mr Gardner adding "For the last four or five years in London, he had worked very little. Evans lived alone in the village of Claybrooke Magna, Leicestershire, where he worked as a taxi driver. Another friend, Lawrence Brown, told the inquest: "I got the impression he was missing the publicity of being an actor and that he'd like to get back into acting, but never really did anything about it. He used to discuss what he had done and showed me videos of his work"
Police discovered the actor's body after going to his house to tell him they had recovered his stolen car. James Leadbitter, eighteen years old, was arrested over the theft and later accused of attempted murder. He told police he was a friend of Evans and had visited him, on the day he died to say he would not be calling round again. Leadbitter said after, the actor became upset and drank half a bottle of whisky. The charge of attempted murder was later dropped.
Recording an open verdict, coroner Martin Symington said there was insufficient evidence to prove Evans had intended to kill himself. He added: "Was he perhaps contemplating taking the tablets and the alcohol together, but passed out, before he could use the tablets?"
An attempted murder charge against a teenager brought in connection with the death of 1970's sitcom star, Barry Evans has been dropped, a court heard today. A Not Guilty verdict, was recorded, at Nottingham Crown Court on James Leadbitter, eighteen years old, of Hinckley.
A teenager was yesterday cleared of trying to murder 1970's TV Funnyman: Barry Evans. Prosecutors dropped the case, against 18 year old James Leadbitter - leaving the actor's death, shrouded in mystery. The Crown Prosecution Service admitted it had "no real prospect" of a conviction, against Leadbitter, who denied the charge. Evans, 52, star of the comedy, Mind Your Language, was found dead, last February, at his rundown home, in Claybrooke Magna, Leicestershire.
Detectives suspected that
he had been poisoned by drink and drugs. Leadbitter
of Hinkley,
was arrested hours later. His lawyer, Geoffrey Headley, said outside court in
Now I hope, that these following press statements, will help to answer, any questions, that anybody has got, about the mystery, surrounding Barry Evans' passing away. I am afraid, at present, that there has been no more statements, since, then. And all I know is, that another male teenager, was also charged, with breaking, an entry, into the late Barry Evans' house, and for stealing a few valuable items, which were some antiques, that Barry, had collected, over the years. And, I am not certain, if that went to Court, or not. But the moment, that I hear anything else, via the press, surrounding the mystery of Barry's passing away, I will definitely, add it, on to this section, as soon, as it is possible, for me, to do so, anyhow!
But my most important task, with writing these pages, of Barry's life, is mainly to give out details, where his acting appearances, are concerned, and the rest of the main website, will be devoted to his work.
Thank You

Import-ban on copper leads Palestinians in Gaza to smelt Israeli currency into electrical wiring, causing half-shekel coin shortage.
Elior Levy
Published: 02.20.14, 14:40 / Israel News
Elior Levy
The coins' absence did not impact the day-to-day life of the average Gazan, as most prices were in full shekels. However, gas prices rose last month, after the tunnels used to bring fuel in from Egypt
were sealed off, and as a result the price of public transport also went up.
Abed, a resident of Gaza City, tells Ynet that taxi and bus drivers had been forced to raise prices by half a shekel, but no one had the half-shekel coin to give change to their passengers. So, he says, the drivers improvised. They began to carry small items to make up the change - chewing gum, candles, pens, cookies and candies. The passengers pay the driver in full shekels, and get half a shekel's worth of products in change.

Issue Information
Not sure if this was made before but I suggest that there should be something to undo the forum read thing when you click on Hapori Tohu's head. I sometimes accidentally click the head on a forum I hadn't read before and it may be inconvenient for some of us.
While a confirmation dialog is possible, an undo feature would be much more difficult. I think the other ticket serves the same purpose and we can use that one.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I know I didn't need a lot of storage space for my migration process. At any point in time I would only need storage space to hold a single folder from a single user's account. This is a small issue compared to what follows but I just thought I'd include it.
The big issue is that you're saying imap is fairly reliable.
That would be fantastic news as I'm sure others would be glad to know there is an easier migration path from FirstClass than there used to be.
I wonder if we can be sure that it's more reliable.
I often tested with small accounts only to find the problems later while migrating larger accounts. If you're not already, then you might try a medium to large account with many folders and subfolders as a test every now and then.
This brings up one of the many issues I ran into with FirstClass. It allowed multiple folders at the same level to have the same name. Zimbra doesn't (or at least didn't) allow this. FirstClass allowed the use of certain characters in folder names that Zimbra didn't allow. This second problem might be able to be resolved by the use of imapsync's --regextrans2 parameter. My migration method took care of both of these problems.
Here's a quote from a May 2009 post where someone claims imap is broken with no hope to be fixed.
"Don't bother with imapsync, it won't work. FC IMAP is broken. Period. Even their product manager Scott Welch agrees that IMAP is broken (his suggestion for using IMAP is to have two separate FC accounts, one you access via the client, one you access via IMAP, and don't ever mix the two). They have no plans to fix IMAP, but will gladly advertise it as working in all their product literature."
Here's another post in June 2010 from the same user.
I don't think the user indicates what version of FirstClass they are using.
On the upside I did find this post July 2010 that indicates someone is migrating large mailboxes from FirstClass using imapsync.
Issue migrating large mailboxes from FirstClass to Dovecot
This thread is a little long but well worth the read if you are trying to use imap to migrate FirstClass. The short version of the story is that using the latest versions of imapsync (1.359) and Mail::IMAPClient (3.25) you may very well be able to migrate from FirstClass using imap. You may need to include some special parameters for imapsync as indicated in some of the thread posts though.
I think this information would be invaluable to administrators who are looking to migrate from FirstClass so if you are able to confirm that it works please post here.
Of course, you still won't get the "sent" email unless you do as you suggested by copying them and "unsending" them.
I still think there is nothing imap can do to migrate things like "uploaded files" or "collaborative documents" but please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think imapsync is a very powerful tool and would be better suited to your task than the script you mentioned. I'm probably not understanding your requirements though. Does the script you are using handle syncing or will you just disable a user's account and migrate in one shot?
I hope you understand that I don't have a particular interest in my method being used.
I just don't want anyone to go too far down a path (imap) if it ends up failing in someway.
I spent many months working around FirstClass issues and I don't wish that on anyone else.
Please let me know what your results are with imap reliability.

Rooms With a View: Tour this urban-chic apartment designed by Lucy Goddard
Interior designer Lucy Goddard is a Creative Director of studio NoChintz, alongside Natalie Gray. The pair first met working on the Harvey Nichols' design team, and NoChintz was launched in 2007. Lucy let us quiz her about the design and re-fit of a stunning two-bedroom apartment in Manchester's Century Buildings. The buildings are in the central conservation area and feature a 1960s glass-fronted office block fused with a Grade II listed building. Take a closer look here...
Love the idea that you can create a home cinema without a huge basement room. How did you do it?
The blackout blinds were stitched in way that when they were lowered they became the projector screen. As the room was fully glazed bar one wall this meant that the client wouldn't be restricted with its layout, and to having a TV on just one wall. Surprisingly this was also a cheaper option.
This living-dining area is streamlined and sleek but you've added warmth with the copper clad pillar and the quirky artwork. Can you tell us more?
We loved the quirky artwork – and the story behind it. It was all painted by the client's grandmother so it not only made the space bright and colourful, but also brought some homely sentiments into it. The copper-clad pillar was born out of the team's desire to disguise a functional column that stood in the living space. We decided that the best way to go was to make it into a piece of art in its own right.
We like the way you've given this modern kitchen a country twist with pan racks. Why did you choose to add these?
It was intended to be a juxtaposition against the sleek hard lines found inside the apartment layout and visible out of the windows. They bring a homely dimension into the space and create a distinction between the kitchen and the other living spaces.
The wraparound gold colour gives this bedroom a glamorous feel. How could we create the same effect at home?
I would advise people to break convention and use wall coverings on other surfaces: ceilings, doors, anywhere that isn't a wall. Using inexpensive materials in a different way is a great method of making a bedroom – or any other space for that matter – a little bit different.
The perfect place to get ready! Can you give us some tips on creating a contemporary dressing table?
I love the concept of using feature materials such as leather straps and belts hanging from wooden pegs to create space to hang things like jewellery from. I also love the use of vintage boudoir pieces: for example, collect a stack of vintage hand-held mirrors and display them all round the dressing table for a special look. If you don't want to overdo the vintage look, fuse it with a contemporary idea. You could paint a vintage dressing table with a matt black colour to create a modern look.

The Institute for Healthcare Studies and the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine anticipate the availability of postdoctoral health services research fellowships. These two-year, full-time fellowships provide an opportunity for individuals who have completed a doctoral degree to gain expertise and experience in health services research, with the goal of preparing fellows for a career in health services research.
Program graduates will help ensure that there are adequate numbers of highly trained individuals to carry out the Nation's health services research agenda, with a focus on improving quality and safety of healthcare, enhancing access and healthcare equity, and appraising the effectiveness of healthcare expenditures and health policy. Complete information about this fellowship.
Dr. Alex Wong was a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and the Center for Healthcare studies at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He came to us from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he completed his doctoral degree in Community Health in 2012. He holds another doctoral degree in Rehabilitation Sciences and also a clinical degree in Occupational Therapy. His research studies focus on the neurocognitive functions, psychosocial/vocational aspects of disabling conditions and cancer survivorship.
During the fellowship, his research focused on the development and application of patient reported outcomes (PROs) with specific emphasis in the medical rehabilitation context. His interests in PRO reflect his conviction that patient-centered outcome measurements will help clinicians make informed decisions and improve healthcare quality through the provision of evidence-based information. While he has experience in PRO research and knowledge in item response theory and computerized adaptive testing, his future research is to develop an expertise in psychometric and diagnostic measurements that better characterize the patient phenotypes. Research in this area will elucidate the health and recovery mechanism by predicting the individual differences in patients' treatment responses and help clinicians identify patients at risk and facilitate the development of patient-centered intervention.
Dr. Wong recently left CROR to join the Program in Occupational Therapy faculty at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.

Air mobility in Iraq: Air refueling set tone for air ops for start of OIF
by Master Sgt. Scott T. Sturkol
Air Mobility Command Public Affairs
1/4/2012 -
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill.
-- Whether it was a KC-135 Stratotanker or a KC-10 Extender, Air Mobility Command's air refueling aircraft played a key role at the onset of Operation Iraqi Freedom, according to AMC history.
Nearly nine years ago, on March 19, 2003, OIF kicked off with what many people termed a "shock and awe" air campaign. The campaign included fighters and bombers from the Air Force, Navy and coalition forces hitting key targets against the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq.
Keeping those fighter aircraft in the fight at the start of OIF were aircrews flying the KC-135s and KC-10s. In the 2009 AMC History Office publication, "Air Refueling: Without Tankers, We Cannot...," several missions for the opening OIF air campaign are highlighted.
"On the first mission, KC-135s refueled two F-117 Nighthawks and five support aircraft on the way to their targets and then the F-117s on their way back," the publications states. "Other tankers played a critical role in the 33-hour B-2A Spirit bombing missions from Whiteman Air Force Base (Mo.)."
The publication also highlights efforts of AMC wings for the beginning of OIF.
"The 319th Air Refueling Wing (of Grand Forks AFB, N.D.) deployed 10 KC-135Rs fitted with the Multi-Point Refueling System - the wing-mounted hose and drogue pods. This system allowed the KC-135s to support all aircraft including U.S. Navy and coalition probe-equipped planes," according to the publication.
"As the threat subsided, the tankers moved into the combat area. At one point, a 22nd Air Refueling Wing KC-135R (from McConnell AFB, Kan.) flew over Tikrit, Iraq -- one of the most heavily defended and dangerous cities in theater -- to support six aircraft involved in a search and rescue mission for a downed F-15E Strike Eagle crew."
Six months into OIF, tanker Airmen and aircraft were stationed at non-disclosed bases throughout Southwest Asia. At the 340th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, part of the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, they had "teamwork went beyond that of one unit" in combining assets of five KC-135R Stratotanker units.
The director of operations for the 340th EARS in October 2003, Maj. Eric Brumskill from Grand Forks AFB said combining people and planes from the 6th Air Mobility Wing, MacDill AFB, Fla.; 319th ARW of Grand Forks AFB; 22nd ARW of McConnell AFB; 19th Air Refueling Group of Robins AFB, Ga.; and the 92nd ARW of Fairchild AFB, Wash., worked out well to meet the OIF mission requirements.
"Having so many units under a commander from one unit and having the director of operations from another unit can be a challenge," said Brumskill, who is now a lieutenant colonel with the 96th Air Refueling Squadron at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. "There are always issues with deployed members and home units that must give their inputs about their people. The challenge is finding the right belly button to push to make things happen with no familiarity. Overall, the crews and staff (were) nothing but professional, and truly exemplify 'one team -- one fight.'"
Maj. Joel Rivard, who was a captain and KC-135 pilot deployed from Grand Forks AFB in 2003, also highlighted the 340th EARS success early on for OIF.
"We had people and planes from different bases deployed here and except for different faces, it was pretty seamless," said Rivard, who is now stationed in RAF Mildenhall, United Kingdom. "We all come from the same schoolhouse (at Altus AFB, Okla.), so we're all working off the same sheet of music. Yes, there are some differences from base to base, but they're minor. Tanker folks all get along very well with one another so we all started off as friends from the beginning."
While the 340th EARS was comprised of KC-135s, the 908th EARS at another Southwest Asia base was formed mainly of KC-10s which also supported OIF air refueling support. The 908th EARS was initially established in 2001 to support Operation Enduring Freedom, but also picked up support OIF in 2003, history shows.
Capt. Sean Flynn, a KC-10 pilot deployed from the Air Force Reserve's 514th Air Mobility Wing at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., who deployed to the 908th EARS in 2010, said supporting the air refueling operations for OIF or elsewhere was what "kept the mission going."
"With the constant supply of tanker gas, we can enable our fellow service members on the ground and in the air to continue to do their mission. We often fly long hours and in extreme weather conditions," Flynn said. "You really see the big picture while working in the area of responsibility. It takes everyone from the base support staff, to the bus drivers, to the maintainers to help get us to the end result which is a successful mission in which we can deliver well needed gas to help the fight."
In the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, as was the case for many air operations in the Air Force's history, air refueling was key to success. Alexander Wathen, a military defense analyst with the Airpower Research Institute and the College of Aerospace Doctrine, Research, and Education at Maxwell AFB, Ala., highlighted that fact in his October 2005 article for the Air and Space Power Journal.
Wathen's article, entitled, "The Miracle of Operation Iraqi Freedom Airspace Management," explained the extensiveness of the early Iraq air campaign.
"The air campaign that danced over Iraq was an intricate ballet conceptualized, designed and executed by the men and women of the Combined Air Operations Center," Wathen wrote. "In all, 1,801 total aircraft flew 41,404 sorties in a 720-hour period between (March) 19 and (April) 18, 2003."
Wathen may have also best defined the importance of air refueling for OIF through his explanation of the acronym -- NKAWTG.
"The tanker crew saying, 'Nobody kicks a-- without tanker gas,' was never truer than in OIF. One of the biggest factors to consider in designing the airspace is the large amount and layout of the airspace to be dedicated to air refueling. Most of the 1,800 aircraft supporting OIF flew missions covering great distances and required long loiter times over their targets, requiring more fuel than their internal fuel tanks would allow, and necessitating air refueling."
(Note: This is the second article in a series of nine stories highlighting the contributions of mobility Airmen during nearly nine years of operations in Iraq through Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn. The AMC History Office contributed to this article.)

The 2013 Gamemaker Game of the Year winner Savant:Ascent is coming to the PlayStation 4. Announced on the PlayStation Blog, Savant-Ascent is a platform shooter that at first glance has some environments that will instantly make you think it is a Castlevania variation.
According to developer D-Pad Studio, the story line revolves around "A malicious orb [that] has cast Savant out of his tower and transformed his surroundings into dangerous enemies."
As Savant, you must fight your way to the top of your tower, unlocking new abilities and custom music that inspired the game. Savant-Ascent has made the rounds on Steam, Google Play, the App Store, and just about any other place you can think of, but the PS4 will be the home for its console debut. Neither a release date nor any details of a PlayStation Vita version have been revealed.
So even though Sony consoles is becoming a nice revenue stream for indie developers, would Savant-Ascent be a good edition to the limited PS4 library? It does give developers more exposure, but do you think you'd be likely to continue developing for consoles as they generate new titles? Let us know what you think.

The Atlanta Braves, Their Manager, My Couch, Two Decades, and Me
In the Time of Bobby Cox
The Atlanta Braves, Their Manager, My Couch, Two Decades, and Me
The number of players who've hit the field for Cox is astonishing—and this book includes a list. From David Justice to Greg Maddux to Chipper Jones to Jason Heyward, Cox managed every kind of player, and almost always got the most out of each one. He did it with patience, persistence, and faith. He did it by adapting, communicating, and, more often than any other manager, getting himself ejected. Whitaker didn't think much of it at first, but, as the years rolled by, he realized he'd learned at least as much from Cox as players such as Andruw Jones had.
In the tradition of Frederick Exley's 1968 classic, A Fan's Notes, and Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch, sports commentator, editor, columnist, and blogger Lang Whitaker weaves memoir with his obsessive super-fandom, providing the perfect blend of sports, humor, and insight for Braves fans and for everyone who enjoys America's favorite pastime.

Kat McCullough
The free event will start at 12 p.m.
Activities to begin at 12 p.m.
Olivia Lukasewich has been one of the most versatile players in program history.
One of Louisiana Tech's most respected soccer letter winners, Kat McCullough, returns for her third season on the sideline as part of Kevin Sherry's coaching staff.
McCullough lettered four years for the Lady Techsters as the four-time Academic All-WAC performer was an instrumental part of building the Tech soccer program into a winner.
McCullough ended her career at Tech in 2009 and ranks third in career assists with 14 and seventh in games played with 68. She currently ranks fifth in goals (12), fourth in shots on goal (64) and sixth in points (38).
She played three years under Sherry as the Techsters finished with records of 10-5-5 and 12-7-1, respectively in her junior and senior seasons. During her senior year, she was a member of a Lady Techster team that broke six team and 13 individual school records.
After the 2011 season, McCullough was selected to serve as an U.S. Youth Olympic Development coach for the Louisiana U-15 girls team.
She graduated from Louisiana Tech with a bachelor's degree in business and completed her master's degree in business administration at Tech in February 2011. She has a United States Soccer Federation "E" coaching license.
Prior to arriving in Ruston, McCullough was a four-year standout at Coppell High School in Coppell, Texas. She also played for the Solar Soccer Club for two seasons.

Purchasing backlinks. Keyword stuffing above the fold. Cloaking. Hidden text. All are considered black hat SEO. But what about going pedal to the metal with legitimate techniques? "Over optimization" is the euphemism used by Google's own Webspam engineer, Matt Cutts, referring to ambitious site owners wanting to get their page to the top of search results. After all, being at or near the top means higher conversion rates and for business owners, that translates directly into sales. But the Internet is ever evolving and everyone with a presence on the world wide web will have to adapt.
Over Optimization in a Nutshell
Overly optimizing or over optimization is precisely what it sounds like. It's the bridesmaid who went so far as to sew her own dress, the other bridesmaids' dresses, the flower girl's dress, the best man's tux, the tuxedos of the ushers and the bride's gown. While it may be a good thing, it simply is too much. Another way to think of it is the best selling athletic shoe in the United States running television commercials every commercial break during every prime time show on every day of the week during Sweep's Week. Again, simply too much.
Over optimization is the practice of conducting more search engine optimization when the job has already been sufficiently done. Overly dense keywording. Buying links for the sake of it. Guest posting and commenting each twice an hour each workday.
Improving Search
A fact of life on the Internet is there is a plethora of competition for every imaginable product or service. As a result, some site owners embrace over optimization as a way past the competition, while staying in the good graces of the search engines. Call it pseudo gray hat. But over optimization is seen by search engines as an artificial leg-up, manipulating search results to reward sites with over optimization top placement without having to work on the most important element of SEO–original, quality content.
Search engines don't just want to display sites with the highest level of SEO, they don't want to return search results based solely on keywords and other SEO elements. They want to display search results based on a site's relevancy–in other words, sites with the best content on a particular subject.
Google's Response
The largest, most used search engine is now actively seeking to identify site employing over optimization techniques. Google is on the precipice of releasing a new algorithm which detects over optimization. The purpose is to make the playing field more level, allowing sites with great content to get a fair shot at being higher ranked than competitors with mediocre content using over optimization.
Alternatives to Over Optimization
There's far more to SEO than repeating the same techniques time and time again. In fact, as Google is now so amply demonstrating, site owners who do so are going to be penalized, not rewarded. However, site owners who practice responsible SEO and don't fall prey to the temptation of over optimization will only reap the benefits of higher search result rankings.

Question concering over active letdown/reflux/milk protein allergy
Hey gang. I've been reading about the above topics extensively on here. My husband and I had our first baby girl in September. The day my milk came in was the day that her demeanor changed. She fusses all the time and is inconsolable. She also spits up a lot and her stomach makes werid "juicy" sounds all the time, especially when nursing. Went to the pediatrician when she was a week old because she had cried non stop for 9 hrs. She was diagnosed w/ colic and reflux. She was put on zantac and prevacid, neither have made a dramatic difference. After being told repeatedly it was just colic and try to make it through, we went to a GI specialist and was told she possibly had a milk protein allergy and was given Nutrimigen to try. Being breastfed, she didn't like the bottle or the formula so I am currently trying an elimination diet. I've also read up on overactive letdown/foremilk/hindmilk imbalance and it sounds like that could be her problem.

I dont have any great answers for you I will say dont stop breastfeeding if at all possible. My 7 month old has never been diagnosed with anything but we went through alot of the same things as you from the sounds of it. The first months of my baby's life were so hard! He cried nonstop all the time. I never put him on anything (especially since he was never diagnosed with anything too) but I did cut out all dairy as I thought maybe there was an issue there. From what I have read it takes about 30 days for all dairy products to clear your system. So if thats any issue it will be a little while to you see a change. I had to rock or walk my baby till he fell asleep (crying) all day everyday pretty much. The glider and my baby carrier were my best friends with out them it was so much harder. He is now 7 months and things are soooo much better. He still chokes alot (everytime we feed and just randomly through the day) but he is a much happier baby.posted 11/20/2010 by blessedagainmama
try pumping, my son didn't like my milk for some reason, after 6 weeks of breast feeding and giving mylicon every 2 hours along with prevacid, I gave up .....went on gentleease and he's off everything else, made a world of difference, just the way he was...my first was on zantac for a year and spit up 4x am hour, no exaggeration. just how he was he grew out of it, he had to do soy formula that what worked with him best, it will get better as he grows, I also lept both of mine on their tummies I was afraid they would choke, and my ped was fine with itposted 11/03/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
For colicky gasy babies try anis tea...it wont harm your baby. Give them 2 onz in a bottle. I give it to my baby all the time and she is two months old it also helps with their digestive system if they have any problems pooping.posted 01/23/2011 by onchi9
As long as she isn't losing weight I think you just have to try to make it through the hard time. I know how hard it is. My boy would scream and scream almost as if he was in pain. He fell asleep crying pretty much every time he took a nap. And sometimes he had projectile spit up. He also seemed constipated which shouldn't be the case for breastfed babies. If at all possible again I wouldnt change anything in your breastfeeding schedule if it is something you want to continue for awhile. My first child I nursed off of one breast for 2 1/2 years so anything is possible! But if you do something that might lesson your suplly you could make things alot harder for yourself.... Any questions just ask me and I'll help if I can! Just hang in there! I have heard babies with reflux you usually get better with time and colic will go away too. Again as long as she isn't losing weight and is gaining at a pretty normal level you should have nothing to worry about. Lots of luck to you mama!posted 11/20/2010 by blessedagainmama
I'm going to try block nursing but it says to feed from one breast numerous times for up to 2 hrs. My baby eats every 2 hrs anyway so what do I do? Plus, I don't want to diminish my milk supply if that's not my problem. My husband and I are at the end of our ropes, we are tired and having a hard time dealing with a cranky fussy baby. Please help!posted 11/02/2010 by brynn's_mommy33

Collect as many coins as you can as you race against time performing cutbacks, floaters, big airs, and backflip madness to increase your score. Be sure to leave enough time to make it to heaven, or you will be left out on the waves in the middle of the ocean.

An alright game
I found out about this in another app. This game is actually really awesome I just don't fully understand how to work it. It seems like I'm supposed to do tricks but when I press the directional buttons he doesn't do anything but crash down.

Living Well On Less
Less Money - Less Stress - More satisfaction
Tools, Tips and Tricks to Enjoy Your Life and Get Things Done
How and Where to Sell Your Handmade Beads, Jewelry, or Art
First, a question.
Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
Why do I ask?
It makes a big difference in where you'll be happiest selling your beads or jewelry.
Don't enjoy a large amount of contact with the general public? Then you're probably happier at home doing the artwork than you would be out dealing with lots of people in a sales situation.
You'll probably find what you want in wholesale or online (requires some "social networking" online these days).
Love people and socializing? Social butterfly? You'll likely be happier out doing things like home sales parties, shows or a shopping service. Best to consider retail.
General InfoWe are fortunate to be selling beads and jewelry. Apparently something deep in all of our limbic brains, or as some call it, "lizard brain" loves those shiny, sparkling objects. That means that this stuff sells if it's good.
Beads and jewelry still do OK in tough economic times. Probably a combination of people looking at them as portable wealth and the comfort factor of the pleasure they get from looking/at wearing them. It's right up there with comfort food.
There can be a lot more profit in selling finished jewelry than just the beads.
Not that you won't earn it, or may not be suited to it.
Or, there's the "in between" ways, like this....
A lampworker I knew years back would bring his beads, some jewelry already assembled, and his jewelry tools to the beach. He would spread it all out on a blanket and begin assembling jewelry. He would do this in a high foot traffic area and almost everyone that walked by would come see what he was doing. His prices were reasonable and he was a very nice guy. People liked talking with him and watching him work. He was very good at sales so he sold a LOT of jewelry any day he set up...as in hundreds of dollars worth in cash. He didn't do it frequently enough in the same spot to get complaints, be run off, or for customers to tell themselves they could buy from him "next time" they saw him.
The moral of the story?
1.There's always a more fun/clever/less expensive or labor intensive way. Always think about it, watch and study what's going on.
2. The possibility was there to expand big time if he was motivated to do the work on marketing and sales....or...not. It's a question of balance in your life. This guy had a great life, needed/wanted very little and this was all the money he needed. For him, more work for more money wouldn't have made life any better.
Getting PaidBest to set up however you decide to sell so that you get paid up front or on delivery and avoid commission deals...as in "you'll get paid for it when it sells". Commission usually involves dealing with art galleries, stores, catalogs and shops.
Selling Your Beads and Jewelry Wholesale
As we said, this is for those who are game to make a lot of work. You'll be giving up at least half of what your work would sell for retail, so you'll have to make it up on many more pieces being sold. This worked great for me when I was making furnace beads because you do that at a "factory" scale of output anyway. Your mileage may vary.
Bead/Jewelry/Art Reps
These are people who "represent" you to stores and other places that will buy your work.
They usually charge a 15% commission. I think this is very reasonable. If you actually paid yourself for all the time and expense it takes to sell your work otherwise you will come in well over 15%.
You have to be making and selling a lot of beads/jewelry/art to make this pay off. To give you an idea, you are going to get paid somewhere around $4-5 for a nice lampworked focal bead, and then you'll pay 15% of that $4-5 for the rep's commission. That's not much money per bead but a good rep can move a lot of beads.
I've done production beadmaking on this scale but not through a rep. I was selling on Ebay when there were only four pages of lampwork beads (1990s, when Ebay first started) and you could sell as many as you could make. Once you get it down, you can make a lot of beads in a day.
Reps can get you into more geographical areas than you ever could by yourself....nationwide!!!!
Here's a few articles with a lot more detail on the subject.
Read these articles before you contact any reps so you don't embarass yourself!!!!!!!!
These are some of the reps I've seen mentioned here and there. I don't know if any one is better than the others. There are others out there, the articles mentioned above have some ideas on where to look.
I've only talked with one of them, Fred Boulter. Fred was nice enough to explain how it all worked and what the price ranges were for what I was doing. It was a funny conversation. Fred was cautious when first contacting me. A lot of bead artists he had talked to were highly offended at the price offered and had given him an earful about it. We had a good laugh at how they must not be "doing the math" to discover what they're really making on each bead.

Selling to Other Artists
One of my local lampworker friends makes beads for another lampwork artist who hits the show circuit all year. The artist hitting the shows hasn't got time to make enough beads to keep up with the demand, My friend makes $2-300 worth of beads at $4-5 per bead every week to keep this other artist on the road and selling.
There's more of this going on than you might imagine. You'll have to ask other artists who you know do a lot of shows to find this.
Selling Online
Online is really a hybrid of wholesale/retail because you can sell for retail prices (or wholesale on quantity) but you will also have to do a lot of marketing and tech work to make this go. More on that in a minute.
You need somewhere online to display your work that includes taking payments. That could be as simple as a website with Paypal buttons to process each sale or something more complex with a shopping cart. This takes some level of computer tech ability to set up and run. That's why the ready-to-go solutions that handle a lot of this for a percentage like Ebay, Etsy and others are so popular.
I started this way on Ebay. It would be hard to get started there now because there are over 3-4000 lampwork beads up for sale there at a time. That's waaaay too much for most people to look through, so unless you're known, or are marketing your work otherwise, you may never be seen. You'll pay about 15% to sell there by the time you pay all the Ebay and Paypal fees.
Etsy is coming on strong for online art sales. They have a very reasonable fee setup. You pay 20 cents for each item listed and then 3.5% of the sales price when it sells. You'll also have Paypal fees for collecting payment. That's the best deal I know of for online. You can have a "shop" there too with no cost for it to be there, just for whatever of their services you use. Another plus is that you can only sell handmade, vintage or supplies on there. That can get you more quality buyers from those who go there to shop.
Update: I've discovered a whole new treasure trove of info on Etsy. Turns out Etsy is waaaaaaay better than I ever imagined. Check this out here.
Email me if you have any other questions about the book. My email is at the top right corner of the page. It's a picture so you can't copy and paste. That keeps the spammers from getting me. I've read the book and I'll be glad to answer your questions.
Amazon has started something like Etsy but it's too new to know how it will do. It's pretty much a knockoff of Etsy with a different fee structure. You can pay your sales fees "by the item" but what they really want you to do is sign up for paying somewhere between $12 and $20 per month and not having to pay other fees. I hate recurring payment subscription setups like that but you may be different. When they first started they had the fees out in plain sight but now it's hard to find anything about fees. The links that are supposed to tell you the costs are a bunch of blather about how great they are but no info on what it will cost you. Not good. Selling anywhere else on Amazon is a straight 15%, so I would look for the fees for Art Fire to get up in that range eventually.
If you're looking at these sort of storefront setups be sure to hit your favorite search engine and put in whatever the online store name is combined with a word like "problems". Also search for the store name with "seller problems" and "buyer problems". It's a good idea to know where the issues and drawbacks are...or aren't.
The Most Important Things You Must Know About Selling Online
1. You can't put your work online and expect it to sell. You will have to market your work or it will not sell.
This is a horrible to surprise to many people. Particularly people who were used to their stuff selling itself online in the past.
Yeah, it used to be like that. Put it up in the right place and they would come and buy it. That's no longer true. There's way more competition out there than there ever was before, and it's all online now. You now have to expect to spend a good bit of time and effort marketing if you want to sell. Where you put your stuff almost doesn't matter, you might as well just look for the best deal/fewest problems/most benefits for a place to be.
I hear my old time glass artist friends saying that the younger generation of buyers have no interest in art glass any more, that all they want to spend their money on is electronic gadgets.
I think the younger buyers might be way more interested if they were seeing or hearing about more of that art in the places where they go with those electronic gadgets. There's a generational shift going on here. Best for you to be where the trend is going, so....
2.You have to market in some new and different places and some different ways.
If you're online at all you've probably heard the phrase "web 2.0". I didn't get the real meaning of this until just recently. It means that the "next generation" of web users want to have their web be interactive.
Used to be you put up a website, said what you had to say, (or sell) and that was it. That's history now. People don't want to be broadcast to any more, they want to interact with you on the web...which means using social media, posting on blogs and being "out there" in general. I hear the groans from the old timers already. I understand...the last thing I wanted was one more web thing to have to go check and participate in. Unfortunately, this is your major opportunity for the future, like it ot not.
That's OK, it's going to be easier than you think. There's someone with a whole lot of experience who has already "been there, done that", made it work, and made it into a book. The book also has a great bonus that covers how to do the most efficient set up on the physical parts of the business. Things like the online storefront, packing and shipping, pricing, strategy, etc., etc.

This concept was news to me...it's so obvious it's easily missed. It may be one of the best ways ever to sell your work because no one is taking any commission or booth fees out of what you make, and it's retail pricing. It would take some time to get it going, but, using what you already have, you could easily start out small and ramp it up.
The original idea came from a visit to a doctors office around the holidays. The doc mentioned that he hadn't even begun his holiday shopping and, worse yet, the doc had young relatives and he had no idea what they might like. Rena jumped right in and suggested that she could make, gift wrap and deliver or ship jewelry that would be a big hit with everyone. The deal was done and the doc got rave reviews on his gifts. From there the idea was developed into how to be the "go-to" person for everyones gift and jewelry buying.

Barça, with 10 players, were the most represented club in the World Cup. Each player returned to Barcelona with a winners medal
Besides the Brazilians (gold) and the Spaniards (silver), Saad (Italy) won the bronze medal after his team defeated Colombia in the third and fourth place match
FC Barcelona Alusport's 10 international players that featured in the 2012 World Cup in Thailand came away with medals. The three Brazilians - Ari, Wilde and Gabriel - won gold, Cristian Torras, Fernandao, Lin, Aicardo and Lozano, won silver and Saad won bronze.
Facts and figures
The Barça player that put up the best numbers in the World Cup is the Italian Saad Assis. Playing for a restructured Italy team, FC Barcelona Alusport's number 11 led his country with seven goals - one from a penalty - and one assist in seven matches. In addition, he won the bronze medal after Italy defeated Colombia in the third and fourth place match.
Two other Barça players that put in great performances were Sergio Lozano and Jesús Aicardo. The first, however, suffered a terribly hard tackle from the Brazilian Je in the last match of the tournament and he wasn't able to perform at his highest level. Lozano scored five goals and one assist in his seven World Cup matches. Aicardo was one of the standout players of the tournament. In the final he showcased his skill when he scored the 2-1 against Brazil. The Barça Alusport player finished the tournament with four goals and three assists in his seven World Cup games.
Fernandao (4 goals and 1 assist), Torras (3 goals and 7 assists), Ari (3 goals and 5 assists), Gabriel (3 goals and 1 assist), Lin (2 goals and 2 assists) and Wilde (2 goals) also had sublime World Cup campaigns.
Wilde missed the final
Besides Lozano's possible injury, the only other player Barça Alusport are worried about is Wilde. The pivot didn't feature in the final due to injury. This Thursday, as the internationals return to Barcelona, the team's Medical Services will determine if the Brazilian will be able to travel with the team to Segovia.
The keeper Cristian was only able to play in one match, against Panama, seeing that Spain's first choice keeper is Juanjo.

Check out appoLearning.com, because your kids deserve the very best educational apps!
Angry Birds is back again for some crazy slingshot madness. This time around you will be launching those mad featherfluffs into the dark. This version is Halloween-themed and offers 45 new levels to pummel your way through. Just like the hit game that started it all, the new app introduces you to each different type of bird slowly until you have all of them in your arsenal.
The gameplay has not changed one bit and in fact, the game acts more as an expansion than a new experience. For once, I can say that is a good thing as all 45 levels just provide even more of the awesome bird-launching we all love. The theme is Halloween and it shows with scar y music and pumpkins all around. All of this is purely a skin change but is enough to enjoy another few rounds of the greatest game to hit the app store.
It comes in both an iPad and iPhone version and is priced very reasonably. If you enjoy Angry Birds, which I assume you do, this next iteration is an excellent addition to your collection. Check it out.

*Attention, Garage-heads!*
Just had an advance copy of that : if there's only gonna be one DVD of the Doors you're ever gonna need, THIS is IT ; no boring interview with critics or old geezers, no biography documentary we all seen a thousand times... it contains only rare film clips of them, not all the clips there was, but a LOT here I've never seen yet and, the others I have... never as better quality than this! I just realized I have the plain common one but, there's a Deluxe Edition available too, "packaged in a 40-page DVD sized hardback book with a "scrapbook" style presentation on each track including lyrics, background info, trivia and photos." WOW! (Should I ditch my discout copy and get it?... ) Well, I used to hate the Doors when I started a Garage Punk thinking how ridiculously OVERrated they were but, I used to hate Hendrix too... and just seeing the first few rare clips here, it almost makes me reconcile with Morrison & co. I have the first three original albums as Classic 60's West Coast rock, thinking at getting the Soft Parade too and, sorry Garage Nazis, the first album in MONO is actually Great! And their first single : "Break On Through" IS Sunset Strip Garage-rock :-)

Via Astro Le Mocker on The FaceBook.
There's been a real debate amongst Rock'n'Roll erudites and scholars on who actually wrote the classic "Love is Strange" (which later made hits most notably for the Everly Brothers, later Sonny and Cher, and inspired Buddy Holly's "Words Of Love"... ), and that debate lately heated up when Mickey Baker, the writer of Rock'n'Roll's first guitar method and original hitmaker with Duet partner Sylvia Robinson (herself future founder of Rap's first hit label : Sugarhill Records... ! ), died last year... until I read a quote from an original interview printed on an article about Mickey Baker on the latest French Oldies magazine : "Jukebox magazine" that recounted what had actually happened... The story goes like this : apparently, Sylvia who was a great fan of Bo Diddley's and used to attend a lot of his gigs, loved an original number which he would perform on stage that she thought would be wonderful for the duet act she was having with Mickey Baker at the time; it was called "Paradise", but remained unreleased since Chess rejected the track and Ellas "Bo Diddley" McDaniels had to register the song under his wife's maiden name "Ethel Smith" for contractual reasons. Now, Mickey disliked the tune, finding the original lyrics even ridiculous... he finally gave out to Sylvia's urging and rewrote the lyrics, readapting the tune as "Love is Strange", keeping the intantaneously recognizable gimmicky guitar riff by Jody Williams (which Williams had played on Billy Stewart's debut single "Billy's Blues" before!.. ) that was later used by Dave "Baby" Cortez in his 1962 instrumental song "Rinky Dink" too (...the mind boggles! )... and the rest is Rock'n'Roll HIstory!
Nevertheless, the co-writers of the song are of some dispute since, Sylvia Robinson claims that she and Mickey Baker wrote the lyrics, while Bo Diddley claims that he wrote them. However (according to Wikipedia source... ), it appears the first recorded version of "Love Is Strange" was performed by Bo
Diddley himself (! ), who recorded his version on May 24, 1956 with Jody Williams on
lead guitar (this version was not released until its appearance on I'm a Man: The Chess Masters, 1955-1958 in 2007... ); while Mickey & Sylvia's version was recorded several months later on October 17, 1956... hm!
Now, if you type the words "LOVE IS STRANGE" on the BMI website, they currently list the writers as all three : Bo, Mickey and Sylvia... !!!?
BAKER MICKEY SACEM 1863218 (French copyright )
Hm... What to think now? Love is Strange indeed! ;-)
(PS : The funny part is, despite the dispute, Bo Diddley went on to pen a song specialy for the Duo called : "Dearest"... ! ) : http://www.jukeboxmag.com/accueil.cfm?lng=2
