text: Local Produce Farm Survives Summer Heat - Barely MGHonor Farms owner says next year he will plant earlier and put out barrels to capture rain water for irrigation. Published on: Sep 3, 2012 Rhonda McCurry Dry, hot conditions this summer have affected more than just corn and bean farmers. Clint Brauer owns MGHonor Farms near Cheney, a two-acre garden that features herbicide-free locally-grown produce. All summer long he's been worried about the impact of drought, watching his 1,150 tomato plants stop flowering and his pepper plants shrivel in the sun. He says a general rule of thumb for determinate, heirloom tomatoes is that growers will see 80-percent of their production in eight-week's time. The rest of the season offers about 20-percent of total production levels.HARD SUMMER: It's been a rough summer for the chili, jalapeno, habanero and bell peppers at MGHonor Farms. Due to extreme heat, the peppers grew small with no volume on the plants. Brauer says one restaurant customer wanted 200 pounds a week but the popular produce couldn't handle the heat, which meant Brauer couldn't deliver. If temperatures would drop to the mid-90s or lower in the daytime to 60s at night, Brauer says his plants would turn around and produce a solid fall harvest. This wish is the same for most traditional farmers across the state, which demonstrates the need for rain no matter where farmers grow crops in Kansas. If drought conditions persist next summer, Brauer says he will catch rain in rain barrels and work up the ground early in the spring. He would also plant tomatoes earlier than ever before, estimating more produce had they been in the ground one month earlier this year. NEW SIGN:MGHonor Farms stands out to passersby thanks to a new sign. Brauer has been managing a produce home delivery subscription service, selling to restaurants, the local farmers market and at a roadside stand. He says top chefs crave the best food possible and Brauer is proud to grow their choice of produce.HARD SUMMER:It's been a rough summer for the chili, jalapeno, habanero and bell peppers at MGHonor Farms.

These (left to right) Pink Brandywine, Green Zebra and Valencia (yellow) varieties not only yielded well but tasted great thanks to the drip irrigation system installed this spring. Next year, Brauer plans to take advantage and expand to full-system capacity.POPULAR BROCCOLI:Even though Brauer has had only 0.4 inches of rain since June, he is trying out new plants and produce to expand his two-acre garden. Here is a brand new broccoli plant growing next to cilantro, dill and bush beans in drip-irrigated soil. The broccoli is already spoken for by a Wichita chef.DELIVERY FLOURISHES:The delivery business was a high point for MGHonor Farms. Brauer incorporated other locally-produced items including goat soap and detergent, olive oil, balsamics and candles. One customer purchased Green Zebra heirloom tomatoes and made a salsa he shared with Brauer. It was the best Brauer has ever tasted and he is working toward commercializing the product.USING RESOURCES:The best part of the summer season for Brauer has been hearing the results of his garden labor. Restaurant chefs and delivery customers have raved about the heirloom tomatoes, particularly the Black Krim, Valencia, Kellogg Breakfast and Green Zebra. Brauer says seed companies are a great resource regarding how and where to plant in order to prosper. Hide Slideshow Captions

Sunburn can kill, and acute sun exposure increases the risk of skin cancer and promotes premature aging.
Sunburn results when the amount of exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun or another source exceeds the ability of the body's protective pigment (melanin) to protect the skin. Sunburn in a very light-skinned person may occur in less than 15 minutes of noonday sun exposure, while a dark-skinned person may tolerate the same exposure for hours.
Ultraviolet rays can cause serious damage to human skin, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sunburn is possible throughout the year and on cloudy days; 80 percent of the ultraviolet rays can pass through clouds or fog. Sun lamps and tanning beds can also expose skin to dangerous ultraviolet rays.
Unlike a thermal burn, sunburn symptoms may take a while to appear and may not be obvious for 24 hours. By the time the skin becomes painful, red and warm to the touch, the damage has been done. Usually, the pain is worst within six to 48 hours, and skin peeling usually begins within three to eight days.
Sunburns release toxins in the skin and may cause blisters, swelling and fever. Blisters and peeling of the skin may occur several days after the exposure. A severe reaction to sun exposure, sometimes called "sun poisoning," may include fever, chills, nausea or rash.

I tried that one and also sin(x^b).
What sorts did you try? I tried something of the form ln(bsinx2) or similar, in the hope that I could cancel the trig term, but it did not work. Maybe trying to use a trig identity would fare better?
Hmm. So, there might not be a way. I will still try to look for one however. It seems I never get to use this little tool.
Those are not Fresnel integrals so he made one of two mistakes. He did not put the square in the proper spot or he does not know what a Fresnel Integral is.
But that is not a Fresnel integral. They said that the middle row contains two Fresnel integrals... so either they meant that it does not contain two Fresnel integrals, or they didn't parenthesise the powers properly...
If you meant the examples at the end of that pdf then it meant
and not the integral you want.
I know you can do it without DUIS (e.g. gamma function method), but was curious if it was made really simple via DUIS (like integrating sinx/x).
The last page here says you can do it.
I've been trying to do
using DUIS, but I can't think of any kind of useful parametrisation that would work. Every time I do, I usually end up with something that *looks* like you can use integration by parts, but that doesn't work. I'm aware the indefinite integral form of these integrals can't be expressed in terms of elementary functions, so I'm hoping I might have more luck with the improper ones. Can anyone show me a useful parametrisation that would work here?

Reed capped a roller-coaster week with a roller-coaster win Saturday, using a six-run sixth inning to earn a 12-6 victory over visiting Reno.
"I think we kind of hit a little bit of a lull. Fortunately, with the exception of Manogue, we've gotten some wins even without playing our best," Reed softball coach Jon Wunder said. "I think we had a good conversation after the game. I think we'll come out Monday and refocus. I think the girls will come out refocused knowing that's our last week of regular season games."
The Raiders led 6-3 heading into the top of the sixth when the Huskies rallied for a trio of runs.
Sophomore pitcher Megan Dettling worked five effective innings for the Blue and Gold, but couldn't get an out in the top of the sixth.
A pinch-hit single by Alysha Taylor loaded the bases. Dettling then hit Sierra Saunders with a pitch, forcing in a run and ended Dettling's day. Dettling left the game with a 6-4 lead, but she didn't factor in the decision as the Huskies eventually tied the game. Dettling allowed four hits, while striking out nine, walking two and hitting three others.
Reed turned to senior Shivaun Landeros to get out of the inning. However, Landeros only managed to record two outs.
Back-to-back walks with the bases loaded knotted the game at 6-6. Wunder was forced to use a third pitcher in the inning.
Sophomore Jackie Sertic took the ball and struck out No. 3 hitter Cori Fisher to end the threat. Sertic pitched the final 1 1-3 innings to pick up the pitching victory. She allowed a pair of seventh-inning hits but also struck out two hitters.
The Raiders also stranded the bases loaded in their half of the sixth, but not before sending 12 batters to the plate and pushing across six runs.
Hannah Martini led off the bottom of the sixth with a single. Mary Dettling followed with a walk and an error loaded the bases.
Andi Lee ripped a two-run single and then Danaya Thompson and Makaela Moore drove in runs with singles, all in succession, forging Reed into a 10-6 advantage.
With two outs, Laura Frost knocked in the final two runs with a single.
"Sometimes you have to adjust to conditions. It was a pretty wide strike zone today. It took both teams a little time to adjust," Wunder said. "We didn't play our best game defensively. I thought for the most part Megan pitched a great game until that last inning. We brought Shivaun in for an inning. She warmed up before the game, but she was probably cold by the sixth inning. We brought her in with the bases loaded and that's a lot to ask of a pitcher. Fortunately, we're deep enough and could bring in Jackie to close out those last two innings. Dealing with a little adversity helps us get stronger as we go into this last week."
Reno scored first on an RBI groundout by Fisher in the top of the first. The lead didn't last long.
Gammon started her 3-for-5 day with a leadoff double in the bottom half of the first frame. An error allowed Martini to reach base, and the Raiders took a 2-1 lead when Mary Dettling brought both runners home with a double.
In the third, Martini and Mary Dettling reached base on a single and error. Landeros belted a double, plating Martini. Thompson came through with a run-scoring single and Landeros scored on a passed ball. That left Reed with a 5-1 edge.
Sarah Degues helped the Huskies close the gap to 5-2 in the fourth with her RBI two-bagger. She went 2-for-2 and was the only Reno player with more than one hit. The Huskies had six hits, but five Reed errors also helped the cause.
In the fifth, Lydia Valencia scored on a wild pitch after leading off the inning with a single. That brought Reno to within two runs, 5-3.
The Raiders got that run back in the bottom of the fifth on Lindsey Yearman's RBI double.
Reed finished with 15 hits on the day. Thompson led the way, going 3-for-4. Martini was 3-for-5, and Moore added two hits in the win.
Reed (23-4, 16-1 in Northern 4A) will close out its regular season with three league games this coming week. The Raiders are at McQueen Tuesday, home versus Galena Thursday and at Damonte Ranch Friday. All games are at 3:45 p.m.

Super LeagueClick here to view Super League 2013
The First Utility Super League (sponsored by utility supplier First Utility from 2014) is the top-level professional rugby league club competition in Europe. The league has fourteen teams: thirteen from England and one from France. The current champions are Wigan Warriors.
Super League began in 1996, replacing the RFL Championship and switching from a winter to a summer season. Each team plays 27 games between February and September: 13 home games, 13 away games and a Magic Weekend game at a neutral venue. At the end of the season, the top eight teams enter a play-off series leading to the Grand Final which determines the champions.
The Super League champions play against the National Rugby League (NRL) champions (from Australia/New Zealand) in the Probiz World Club Challenge.

1996–2001: Establishment[edit]
The competition was first mooted during the Australian Super League war as a way for Rupert Murdoch to gain the upper hand during the battle for broadcasting supremacy with the Australian Rugby League. Murdoch also approached the British clubs to form Super League. A large sum of money aided the decision, and the competition got under way in 1996. Part of the deal saw rugby league switch from a winter to a summer season.
"Supporters will see a better game in better surroundings, and the deal will see their sport receive a greater profile nationally and internationally."
Rodney Walker, RFL chairman, welcomes Super League, 5 April 1995
Initially, several mergers between existing clubs were proposed:
- Castleford, Wakefield Trinity and Featherstone Rovers would form Calder
- Hull and Hull Kingston Rovers would form Hull
- Salford and Oldham were to form Manchester
- Sheffield and Doncaster were to form South Yorkshire
- Warrington and Widnes were to form Cheshire
- Whitehaven, Workington Town, Barrow and Carlisle would form Cumbria
They were to be included with the following stand-alone clubs: Bradford Northern, Halifax, Leeds, London Broncos, Paris Saint-Germain, St. Helens and Wigan.
However this proved so unpopular that only existing clubs were selected for the competition. The clubs finishing below 10th in the existing top flight were excluded, which meant Featherstone Rovers, Hull, Wakefield Trinity and Widnes were left out, as were pioneering club Keighley Cougars who had just won the Second Division Championship. London Broncos, who had come fourth in the Second Division, were "fast-tracked" in on commercial grounds. A new team, Paris Saint-Germain, was created to give a French dimension.
2002–2008: Promotion and Relegation[edit]
After two years Paris were dropped from the competition. Promotion and relegation between Super League and the Rugby League National Leagues was re-introduced, and in 2002 the Super League Europe (SLE) governing body re-integrated fully into the Rugby Football League (RFL). In 2006, French side Catalans Dragons (also known as UTC or Les Catalans) from Perpignan joined the league, becoming the second non-English team to compete. In order to facilitate this move, two clubs were relegated from Super League at the end of the 2005 season: Leigh who finished bottom of the league were replaced by the one club coming up from the National Leagues and Widnes who finished 11th (and would have stayed up any other year) were dropped for Les Catalans, thus the number of clubs in Super League remained at 12.
2009–2014: Licensing[edit]
Super League licences were announced in May 2005 by the RFL as the new determinant of the Super League competition's participants from 2009 in place of promotion and relegation. The licences were awarded after consideration of more factors than just the on-the-field performance of a club. After 2007 automatic promotion and relegation was suspended for Super League with new teams to be admitted on a licence basis with the term of the licence to start in 2009.
The RFL stated that clubs applying to compete in Super League would be assessed by criteria in four areas (stadium facilities, finance and business performance, commercial and marketing and playing strength, including junior production and development) with the final evaluations and decisions being taken by the RFL Board of Directors.
Successful applicants were licensed for three years of Super League competition and three-yearly reviews of Super League membership took place to ensure ambitious clubs lower down the leagues can still be successful.
Points attained by each club's application are translated into license grades A, B or C. Clubs who achieved an A or B Licence would be automatically awarded a place in Super League, while those who achieved a C Licence underwent further scrutiny before the RFL decided who made the final cut.
First Licensing Period[edit]
In June 2008, the RFL confirmed that Super League would be expanded from 12 teams to 14 in 2009, and on July 22, 2008 the RFL confirmed the teams awarded licenses. The teams announced were the 12 existing Super League teams along with National League 1 teams, Celtic Crusaders and Salford City Reds. Celtic Crusaders becoming the first Welsh team to play in Super League and the only team to be awarded a licenses who had never played in the Super League previously.
Featherstone Rovers, Halifax, Leigh Centurions and Widnes Vikings all failed to attain a licence. Leigh and Widnes, especially, were disappointed with their exclusions with Leigh's chairman being extremely critical of the RFL.
Second Licensing Period[edit]
For the 2012–2014 seasons Championship sides Batley Bulldogs, Barrow Raiders, Featherstone Rovers, Halifax RLFC and Widnes Vikings all met the on-field criteria needed to submit an application, but despite this only Barrow, Halifax and Widnes decided to submit an application. On March 31, 2011 Widnes Vikings were awarded a Super League licence; Barrow Raiders, did not meet the criteria and were refused a licence; and Halifax's application was to be further considered alongside the other Super League clubs.
The Rugby Football League's final decision was announced on July 26, 2011, Widnes would be joining thirteen existing Super League teams with Crusaders RL having withdrawn their application and Halifax not meeting the criteria. Crusaders CEO Rod Findlay stated that the clubs finances were not in a good enough condition to justify their place in Super League. Halifax chairman Mark Steele was critical of the decision to award Wakefield a licence over themselves, saying "If you compare Belle Vue with The Shay, it's no contest; if you compare playing records, it's no contest; and if you compare the financial position, we have kept our head above water and they haven't." Wakefield had been favourites to lose their licence before Crusaders' withdrawal.
2015 Onward: The return of Promotion and Relegation[edit]
At the 2013 Annual General Meeting at Bradford, the Super League clubs agreed to reduce the number of clubs to 12 from 2015, and also for a return of Promotion and Relegation with a 12 club Championship.
The 12 First Utility Super League and 12 Kingstone Press Championship clubs will play each other home and away over 22 rounds, including a Magic Weekend for both divisions. Following the conclusion of their regular league seasons, the 24 clubs will then compete in a play-off series where they split into 3 leagues of 8 based upon league position:
- The top 8 Super League clubs will compete in the Super League Play-Offs. After playing each other once (either home or away), the top 4 clubs will progress to the semi-finals to determine who will compete in the Grand Final and be crowned champions.
- The remaining (bottom 4) Super League clubs and the top 4 Championship clubs will compete in the Super League Qualifying Play-Offs. They will play each other once (either home or away) to determine which four of the clubs will compete in Super League the following year.
- The remaining (bottom 8) Championship clubs will compete for the Championship Shield and to avoid relegation to Kingstone Press Championship 1. Two clubs will be relegated each year.
Funding for clubs will be tiered in both leagues to prevent relegation related financial difficulties.

In 2014 the following teams will run in each of the Senior Academy divisions:
Super League Academy - U19s:
Championship Academy - U20s:
- The Academy U19s competition is primarily for Super League clubs. Catalans Dragons does not have a teams in the league as they run their lower grade sides in the French league.
- The Academy U19s competition has a 6 team play-off with a Grand Final at the end of the play-off series.
- The Championships U20s have a 3 team play-off with a Grand Final at the end of the play-off series.
- Many Super League, Championship and Championship 1 sides also have Academy U16 teams. They compete in a small number of games throughout the season and all such games are seen as friendly matches.

"On the Road"[edit]
In 2009, a match between Catalans Dragons and Warrington Wolves was staged at Barcelona's Olympic Stadium. London Broncos have also staged a number of games "on the road" including at Brisbane Road and Priestfield Stadium, both in 2012.
The Magic Weekend[edit]
In an attempt to expand out of the traditional rugby league "heartlands", and market the game to a wider audience, the RFL has staged games in large stadia, in places without a strong rugby league presence. The "Magic Weekend" concept, which involves staging an entire round of Super League in such a stadium, was first staged in Cardiff in 2007. Dubbed "Millennium Magic", and played in the Millennium Stadium, the concept was held in Cardiff again in 2008. In 2009 and 2010, the event was held in Edinburgh at the Scottish national rugby union stadium, giving rise to the name changing to "Murrayfield Magic". Generally held during the May Day weekend, 2011 saw the Magic Weekend return to Cardiff, and was held during the weekend 12–13 February, and serving as the season opener. It has since returned to its traditional mid-season slot and is currently held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

Competition Format[edit]
Regular Super League Season[edit]
Between 2009 and 2014, 14 teams will compete in Super League. They play each other twice on a home-and-away basis, interrupted by the Magic Weekend round in May. Before the expansion from 12 teams, an additional four fixtures were played (before the introduction of Millennium Magic in 2007, an additional six fixtures were added). After the 27 rounds, a play-off series is used to determine the two teams who will meet in the Super League Grand Final to compete for the championship.
Super League Play-Off Series[edit]
In 2014, the First Utility Super League Play-Offs will be contested by the eight sides finishing highest in the league. The structure is designed to reward the teams finishing nearer the top. The Grand Final is played at Old Trafford.
The current First Utility Super League Play-Off structure:
- Week 1
- Four matches will take place on Week One, effectively in two pools: the Qualifying Play-Offs and the Elimination Play-Offs.
- Week 1: Qualifying Play-Offs
- These matches involve the teams who finish in the top four.
- They are:
- 1st v 4th
- 2nd v 3rd
- The winners of these two games will progress directly to Week 3. The highest ranked winning club will have Club Call, whereby they choose their opponents in Week 3.
- The losers of these two matches will have another chance in Week 2 when they will be at home to the winners of the Week 1 Elimination Play-Offs.
- Week 1: Elimination Play-Offs
- These matches involve the teams who finish from fourth-eighth.
- They are:
- 5th v 8th
- 6th v 7th
- The winners of both matches will progress to Week 2, losers are eliminated.
- Week 2: Preliminary Semi-Finals
- There are two matches in Week 2; the winner of each match progresses to Week 3 and the loser is eliminated.
- The first Preliminary Semi-Final features the highest ranked Qualifying Play-Off loser (from Week 1) v the lowest ranked Elimination Play-Off Winner (also from Week 1).
- The second Preliminary Semi-Final features the lowest ranked Qualifying Play-Off loser (from Week 1) v the highest ranked Elimination Play-Off Winner (also from Week 1).
- Week 3
- Week 3 also features two matches; the winner of each match progresses to the Grand Final and the loser is eliminated.
- Week 3: Club Call
- Club Call will take place following the second weekend of the play-offs and will be hosted by the highest ranked winning club from Week 1.
- The host club will select who they play in Week 3 and can only select from the winners of the two Preliminary Semi-finals (Week 2) – they cannot choose the other Qualifying Play-offs winner.
- The highest ranked club from the Qualifying Play-offs (Week one) must choose their opponents – they cannot cede the responsibility to the other Qualifying Play-offs winner.
- The team with Club Call and the other Qualifying Play-off winners from Week 1 are guaranteed home advantage in Week 3. For example, should the teams that ended the regular season in 1st and 2nd place lose their opening play-off match, they could still find themselves playing away to the 3rd or 4th placed teams in Week 3.
- Week 3: Qualifying Semi-Finals
- The first Qualifying Semi-Final features the highest ranked Qualifying Play-Off winner(from Week 1) v the team selected through Club Call.
- The second Qualifying Semi-Final features the lowest ranked Qualifying Play-Off winner(from Week 1) v the team not selected through Club Call.
- Week 4: Grand Final
- The two winning teams from week 3 contest the Grand Final to determine the First Utility Super League champions.
- Can any team have Club Call?
- No. The highest ranked winning club from Week 1 will have Club Call, whereby they choose their opponents in Week 3. Only a team that ended the regular season in 1st, 2nd or 3rd can win Club Call.
- Will the teams who finished 1st or 2nd at the end of the regular season be guaranteed home advantage in Week 3 should they progress?
- No. The two highest rank teams after Week 1 (the team with Club Call and the other Qualifying Play-off winners) are guaranteed home advantage in Week 3. For example, should the teams that ended the regular season in 1st and 2nd place lose their opening play-off match, they could still find themselves playing away to the 3rd or 4th placed teams in Week 3.
- Does the Club Call team have to choose their opponents or can they relinquish the responsibility to the other Qualifying Play-offs winner?
- The highest ranked club from the Qualifying Play-offs (Week 1) must choose their opponents – they cannot relinquish the responsibility to the other Qualifying Play-offs winner. In addition, they can only select from the winners of the two Preliminary Semi-finals (Week 2) – they cannot choose the other Qualifying Play-offs winner.
Qualification for International Competition[edit]
Each year, the Super League champions play against the National Rugby League (NRL) champions (from Australia/New Zealand) in the Probiz World Club Challenge. This fixture is usually held at the beginning of the following season (during February).
Competition Rules[edit]
Club Trained Players[edit]
The 'club trained player' rule stipulates that each club must have a minimum number of players who are aged under 21 years or are graduates from their own academy system in their 25 man first team squad. Clubs are also required to have a minimum number of UK-trained players (or in the case of the Catalans Dragons, France-trained players) in their squads, and also are limited to a maximum number of "overseas" trained players.

Dual Registration[edit]
Clubs in both the First Utility Super League and the Kingstone Press Championships benefit from the new dual registration system which was been introduced for the 2013 season. The new system is intended to complement the existing player loan system.
Dual registration refers to an arrangement between clubs whereby a player continues to be registered to his current First Utility Super League club and is also registered to play for a club in the Kingstone Press Championship. The system is aimed at young Super League players who are thought to be not quite ready to make the step up to 'week in, week out' Super League first team duties but for whom first team match experience is likely to be beneficial for their development.
- Only First Utility Super League players can be dual registered and the receiving club must be a club in the Kingstone Press Championships, meaning that Super League to Super League club dual registrations are not available.
- A dual registered player will be eligible to play and train with both clubs in a format agreed between the clubs, subject to registration, salary cap and competition eligibility rules.
- The player is restricted to playing in one fixture per scheduled round of fixtures in any given week and would not be eligible to play for his First Utility Super League club on a Thursday and in a Kingstone Press Championship fixture at the weekend, for example.
- A receiving club will be limited to a total of five dual registered players per matchday squad.
Match Officials[edit]
All Super League matches are governed by the laws set out by the RFL; these laws are enforced by match officials. Former Hull FC player and Huddersfield Head Coach Jon Sharp is the current Head of the Match Officials Department of the RFL. He assumed this role following Stuart Cummings' departure in March 2013 having previously held the role of Match Officials Coach & Technical Director.

Salary Cap[edit]
The Super League operates under a real-time salary cap system that will calculate a club's salary cap position at the start of and throughout the season:
- The combined earnings of the top 25 players must not exceed £1.65 million.
- Clubs will only be allowed to sign a new player if they have room under the cap.
- Clubs are allowed to spend a maximum of £50,000 on players outside the top 25 earners who have made at least one first grade appearance for the club during the year.
- Costs for players outside of the top 25 earners who do not make a first team appearance will be unregulated.
- Any player who has played for the same club for at least 10 consecutive seasons will have half their salary excluded from the salary cap for his 11th and subsequent seasons. This is subject to a maximum of £50,000 for any one club.
Squad Announcement System[edit]
Before each Super League and Tetley's Challenge Cup fixture, each club must announce the squad of 19 players it will choose from by 2.00pm on the second day before the match day.
Trophies and Awards[edit]
League Leader's Shield[edit]
The League Leader's Shield is awarded to the team finishing the regular season top of Super League; this is also known as a minor premiership. The League Leader's Shield was introduced only in 2003, previously no prize was awarded to the team finishing top following the introduction of the Super League Grand Final.
Super League Trophy[edit]
The winner of the Grand Final is given the Super League Trophy as Super League Champions. This is considered more prestigious than the minor premiership. Each year, the year of a champion team's triumph, team name and team captain are engraved.
The record for most Super League titles won is held by Leeds Rhinos, who won the title 6 times in 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 & 2012. Leeds captain Kevin Sinfield currently holds the record for captaining the most Super League title winning sides after captaining Leeds to all 6 of their grand final successes. St Helens contested the final 6 years in a row (from 2006 until 2011) during which time they succeeded only once in lifting the trophy against Hull in 2006; after which they suffered consecutive defeats against Leeds Rhinos in 2007, 2008, 2009, Wigan Warriors in 2010 and Leeds Rhinos once again in 2011.
Steve Prescott Man of Steel Award[edit]
The Man of Steel Award is an annual award for the best player of the season in Super League. It has continued from pre-Super League times, with the first such award given in 1977. It was renamed in honour of Steve Prescott in 2014.
Super League Dream Team[edit]
Each season a Super League Dream Team is also named. The best thirteen players in their respective positions are voted for by members of the sports press.
Super League Champions[edit]
- See Rugby Football League Championship for the all-time list of champions since 1895.
The league format changed in 1998 and the championship became a play-off series to determine the Super League champions. This meant a reintroduction of a final to determine the European champions, the first since the 1972–73 season.

The Double[edit]
In rugby league, the term 'the Double' is referring to the achievement of a club that wins the top division and Challenge Cup in the same season. To date, this has been achieved by a total nine different clubs but by only three different clubs during the Super League era.
|Winning Years
|1989/90, 1990/91, 1991/92, 1992/93, 1993/94, 1994/95, 2013
|St Helens

|1912/13, 1914/15 (All Four Cups)
|Broughton Rangers
|1907/08 (All Four Cups)
|1927/28 (All Four Cups)
N.B. In the event of a tie, the team that won x amount of 'Doubles' first is given preference.
Super League has been sponsored since its formation.
The title sponsor has been able to determine the league's sponsorship name. There have been six different title sponsors since the league's formation:
- Stones Bitter (1996–1997)
- JJB Sports (1998–1999)
- Tetley's Bitter (2000–2004)
- Engage Mutual Assurance (2005–2011)

The official ball supplier is Rhino Rugby, who have held the contract since the 2013 season when they took over from Steeden.
Media Coverage[edit]

A national repeat was first broadcast overnight during the week since February 2008 when the then BBC Director of Sport, Roger Mosey, commented that this move was in response to the growing popularity and awareness of the sport, and the large number of requests from people who want to watch it elsewhere in the UK. The end of season play-off series is shown nationwide in a highlights package. Super League Show is also available for streaming or download using the BBC iPlayer in the UK.

301 SW 3rd Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL | Directions 3331226.119216 -80.147065
Closed – This restaurant is now closed. It's a shame as the food was good and the views of the New River were spectacular.
Awful, not impressed. – Service and food were less than average. The hostess was unwelcoming. Waiter was inexperienced. Untrained in wines and the menu. He only checked on our party once. This place came highly recommended but not sure why. Water view was nothing to write home about. Prices were high for the lack of service. Will not return.
romantic romantic – beautiful candle lit place. unique. great service, staff could be better at wine knowlage but really good. food is fantastic.... gem
Great spot – FUN HAPPY HOUR!! When it is a beautiful night it is awesome to sit on the verandah and have cocktails! Its like having a beautiful mansion on the river with out the big mortague! Great friendly service and dinner is really good too. Love it before a play.... Yummy!!!
Location and constistancy – I adore this restaurant. The food is classic and consistant, the service is warm, you see the same faces year after year. I love that I can pull up on the boat for an easy casual dinner or go in my dressy duds before the opera. It really has become my "go to restaurant". Very few places in South Florida have the beautiful old world style and also have a fantastic menu.
Worst Experience – Had reservation for 8:00 on patio. Arrived at 8:00pm and was not seated on patio but in the restaurant. We informed them we wanted a patio seat and then waited for 30 min. When seated, table was not ready. When asked for a candle, it was a big issue to get one as every other table had one. When eating at the patio, a man was throwing up in the garden next to the patio after eating at the River House. As the night went on, the staff was cleaning the tablecloths off the tables around us and felt like we were being rushed out as we were still eating our main course. The food was good but not great. All in all, the bill was approx. $130.00 for two people. A price way too much for what we experienced. You are better off going to Morton?s Steakhouse for the same choices of food for much better service and quality of food.
River House Sinks – The River House is located on a canal across from a used boat dealership which ruins the view from the restaurant. The architecture is the one thing going for this restaurant so go and take pictures but find another place to eat. Two glasses of a wine which sells for under $12 dollars a bottle costs $23 and is served in the 3-4 oz. range (1/3 wine glass). Our meal consisted of grouper which wasn?t fresh (Sunday night) and was 8-10 minutes over-cooked. There was a wedding party going on and perhaps the attention of the kitchen was here. It certainly wasn?t on the other diners. The asparagus spears looked more like javelins (3/4? dia.) and were essentially raw. The waiter took our order, cleared the appetizers, and delivered the check, the bare essential and acceptable. The meal was inexcusable however; and, at over $100 for two, insulting.
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Restaurant located on the New River serves fresh day boat fish, prime cuts of beef and locally grown produce.
Exquisite In Everyway – I am Front Desk Manager a small boutique hotel in Fort Lauderdale..I try my best to send every guest to this restaurant
..First of all it is situated in the most beautiful area in the city and the building is in an old mansion on the New River ..the best ambiance in town...romantic, historic and quiet!
Secondly the food is usaully flawless...I recommend the Crawfish PotPie appetizer if available...one of the best dishes I have ever eaten...
You can take the Water Taxi to its last stop at Riverwalk and just walk a few hundred feet further up river to River house..They also do a fantastic Sunday brunch
It may be chaotic if there is a wedding reception occuring or some other party....
....if you have a small group ask for one of the private rooms upstairs..where you can usually be a little more rambuctious without stares from other diners!!
In a nutshell if you have one night and one resaturant to visit...go nowhere else...

Pillars Hotel
Fabulous! – I had my wedding and reception there on the back patio. Everything went off beautifully and flawless. My husband and I have since been back there on a few occasions and the food, service, and ambience were still excellent.

How to Select
How to shop for occupancy sensors?
Occupancy sensors are designed to detect and record how many people are present indoors or in a certain area in order to restrict or intensify occupancy of the system that manages the operation of the lighting or other accessories. The sensors are widely used in small public areas such as elevators or public restrooms in order to turn the light off when the room is empty and they are helpful for street lights operation to keep streets lit when people are moving on them. Recently the devices of this kind are becoming very popular for office and household applications.
A variety of types and advances features of occupancy sensors that are available on the market today can embarrass the customer who is aiming to select and purchase a suitable device. This article will emphasize some important things to avoid any problems with the sensor compatibility and usage.
Occupancy sensors use one of four technologies to detect motion such as ultrasonic, infrared, audible sound or microwave technology.
Passive infrared sensor or PIR detects human movement by sensing infrared heat that is emitted by any object such as human body or an animal. The devices convert heat into electricity and are called passive because they don't emit infrared light but receive it.
Ultrasonic sensors produce ultrasonic high frequency sound waves that are above the limits of human hearing to detect motion throughout the room or area. These sensors use ultrasonic transducers that create vibrations and convert the returned echo into electrical or mechanical energy.
Microwave sensors contain microwave receivers and generators that emit a signal and measure the frequency of the reflected waves. The sensors of this kind are less common but more sensitive and they are essential for certain applications such as automated door openers.
There are the sensors that combine both infrared and ultrasonic technologies that take advantages of the both sensor types and offer flexibility and high accuracy of detection. In addition, there are audible sound sensors that are used in industrial areas with high noise level cause by machines and equipment. In order to purchase the correct device that is suitable for certain application and satisfies all of the requirements, it is important to consider the wattage that should exceed the amount of the installed lighting, line voltage, wall, ceiling or screw-in mounting. In addition, there are single-pole sensors that are designed to control only one device and three-way sensors that can turn on the light in several places of the room simultaneously.
Occupancy sensors are the devices that won't cost a fortune, but they can save up to 80% of the energy consumed and, therefore, amount of money to pay each month for electricity. In addition, they ensure perfect safety, security and convenience for the residents, users or office staffers.

New parents spend a lot of time changing their baby. Indeed, babies may use 10 diapers a day or more.
Diaper changing might seem complicated at first. But with a little practice, you'll find that keeping your baby high and dry is easy.
Before you begin, gather a few supplies:
Make sure your supplies are all within reach. Babies should never be left unattended, even for a second. Even newborns can surprise parents with their ability to roll.
Using the wet washcloth, cotton balls, or baby wipes, gently wipe your baby clean from the front to the back (never wipe from back to front, especially on girls, or you could spread the bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections). You might want to lift your baby's legs by the ankles to get a better reach. Don't forget the creases in the thighs and buttocks.
For boys, keep a clean diaper over the penis during changing because exposure to air often causes boys to urinate — on you, the walls, or anything else within range.
Once you've finished wiping, pat your baby dry with a clean washcloth and apply diaper ointment.
If you're using disposable diapers:
Here are a few extra tips to keep in mind:
Although most parents choose disposable diapers because of their convenience, some parents opt for cloth diapers, which can be more affordable (if you wash them yourself). Some believe that cloth diapers are more environmentally friendly, but there's some debate over whether this is actually true.
Cloth diapers come in many shapes and sizes. Traditional cloth diapers usually come prefolded or in a square and require pinning. More modern types are fitted or contoured like disposable diapers, and come with Velcro closures or snaps. Other cloth-diapering accessories include absorbent liners (some are flushable), diaper doublers for extra protection at night, and diaper covers to help prevent leaks.
If you're using traditional cloth diapers, there are several ways to fasten them. One of the more commonly used ways is the triangular fold:
Another method is the rectangular fold, which is similar to the fold of disposable diapers:
Here are some tips to keep in mind when using cloth diapers:
It's common for babies to have some diaper rash. But if the rash happens often, lasts for more than 2 or 3 days, or is getting worse, it may be time to call your doctor. Also let the doctor know if your child has a fever with the rash or if the rash seems painful, bright red, or has blisters.
To prevent and heal diaper rash, keep these tips in mind:
Once you have these basics down, you'll be a diapering pro in no time!

Comments On Jan 02, 2013:The jersey in blue looks amazing I love the blue, purple and yellowish/green colors and how they flow and change from one to the other. The jersey fits good but I did have to send in my xl to get a xxl because the size was off a little but because Rocky Mountain has a fitment guarantee exchange was painless. The jersey is very durable taking snags and not putting holes in it or ripping it like other jerseys ive had quality is top knotch. Im 6'3" and muscular and have long arms so that may be why I needed a xxl in the jersey.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The gray/green color is lovely. It looks great next to stainless steel fridges. The magnet is double the size that I thought it would be, which was a welcome surprise."
"At first I was worried I couldn't order a sample of the magnet, but when I received them in the mail (earlier than expected), I was so happy with the final result. I can't wait to mail my Save the Dates and order my wedding invites in the future!"
"Loved this unique destination wedding save the date card! It's customizable, so you can enter your wedding location and the map will change to match. Great alternative for a save the date if you don't have your engagement photos done yet (which would be us) or if you'd rather not upgrade to photo cards. Lots of cool options for fonts too - I thought ours ended up looking very trendy. The color quality is great too, almost a vintage look. We received a lot of compliments on them!"
"Everyone who received our save-the-date absolutely loved it! We loved that on one side we could put a picture, and on the other we could customize details to fit our story, and our wedding colors. All the notes that we added regarding changing the colors and the wording were taken into account with efficient customer service interactions (via emails). We changed the "she" to my name, and instead of "can you all" we changed it to "plan to" so it didn't sound like a question without a question mark (my future mother-in-law is an editor!). We also asked to use the same font from "Save the Date" for our names."
"We ordered samples of this design and loved them. The style was exactly what we were looking for in our invitation suite: simple and classic so that it can be formal without being ornate. We ordered the save-the-dates in the Burgundy color and were very pleased. The paper has a great weight and thickness to it, and the print quality was perfect. The included envelopes were of equally good quality. Everything arrived in a nice William Arthur box, which has been great to store and protect the cards and extras. I had many compliments from our guests on the save-the-dates. We are about to order our invitations in this same style!"

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) for
Automotive Electronic Protection
A major challenge in automotive design is
protecting electronics- such as control units, sensors, and
entertainment systems - against damaging surges, voltage
transients, ESD, and noise that are present on the power line.
Transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are ideal solutions for
automotive electronic protection and have several important
parameters for these applications including power rating, stand-off
voltage, breakdown voltage, and maximum breakdown voltage. The

Red Sox, Cardinals both well positioned for future Series success
BOSTON -- A baseball game and even a postseason series can hinge on any moment, and with the bases loaded in the third inning, the Cardinals' rookie phenom stood on the mound facing one of the Red Sox' free-agent additions, a pivotal at-bat that doubled as a nutshell synopsis of how these franchises rounded out their rosters in 2013.
St. Louis right-hander Michael Wacha, a 22-year-old vying for the honor of greatest rookie pitcher in postseason history, threw a 2-1 fastball to Boston rightfielder Shane Victorino, a 32-year-old outfielder who had already won one championship ring. In this World Series, seniority trumped precocity.
Victorino's swing on Wacha's fastball dinged the Green Monster and drove in the game's first three runs en route to a championship-clinching 6-1 victory in Game 6. His double made Fenway Park shake with uproarious energy, rattling its century-old foundation, almost enough to make one wonder if America's most beloved ballpark, which sits on filled-in marshland, would sink into the Charles River basin. After all, the 38,447 occupants were more than double how many witnessed the last such home clinching back in 1918, when many of the grandparents of the current Red Sox weren't yet born.
"This is what it's all about," Victorino said. "This is the moment you live for."
WATCH: Victorino's double opens scoring in Game 6
And both clubs -- the only ones to win at least three pennants in the last decade -- are well positioned to have a few more of these moments coming up soon, even though they took markedly different paths to this meeting in the Fall Classic.
Boston's hirsute ensemble -- which harkened no less than Shakespeare, who once wrote, "He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man" -- looked more like vagabonds than multi-millionaires. Notably it was a group regarded as second-class free agents who took comparatively moderate years and dollars to play in Boston, a dramatic departure from the superstars who preceded them and were subsequently traded to the Dodgers in a budget-clearing trade last August. Each of the seven new free agents was targeted and recruited not only for their need-filling baseball tools but also for their big-market-compatible makeup.
"It was recognition that things weren't working and somehow we needed to reshape it," Boston general manager Ben Cherington said of the trade with the Dodgers. "You can do that in small ways or you can do that in big ways, and that allowed us to do that in a bigger way. ... When you're around [such chemistry] and you feel it, it's hard to say it's not valuable. I still don't know that any of us know how to engineer it, but when you're around it and you feel the group coming together like it did, I don't have any doubt that it's valuable."
The newbies joined homegrown players Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz and longtime mainstay David Ortiz in turning a 69-win cellar-dweller into a 97-win league and World Series champion. The rapidity of their ascent was astounding and thus may prove difficult to sustain. Did the Sox catch lightning in a bottle or will there be regression?
"The 2013 Red Sox team is great," Cherington said. "It doesn't mean the work stops. Obviously there are still things we need to do to get better. There are ways I can be better and ways the organization can get stronger. But they won their last game of the postseason, so this team was great for 2013."
The Red Sox do face an offseason with several question marks, given the pending free agency of four position players: Ellsbury, first baseman Mike Napoli, shortstop Stephen Drew and catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Given that Boston has started seeing the first fruits of its own increasingly well-stocked farm system -- infielder Xander Bogaerts, outfielder Jackie Bradley, Jr. and pitchers Brandon Workman and Allen Webster, among others -- it ought to be able to replenish some talent from within. And of course, Boston has the financial wherewithal to add established players in the offseason, too.
St Louis, meanwhile, is in even better shape. It boasts 18 homegrown players on its roster, supplementing the likes of Yadier Molina, Matt Holliday, Carlos Beltran and Allen Craig with an embarrassment of pitching wealth up and down its roster -- its bullpen is brimming with young arms other clubs must lust after, yet the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright-led rotation remains so amply stocked that the likes of Trevor Rosenthal, Carlos Martinez, et al., have begun their big-league careers as relievers. Their hitting prodigy, outfielder Oscar Taveras, saw his Triple-A season derailed by an ankle injury but is thought by some to be the minors' best pure hitter and a future superstar.
"To get as close as we did is disappointing, but at the same token, you look at how we did it and it was really an example of what we were trying to accomplish over the last seven, eight years and do it from within," St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said. "To see the youth movement get within two wins of a championship shows you [that], directionally, where we're going is very positive."
Beltran is the lone free agent from the Cardinals' 25-man World Series roster. If the organization wants, it can keep intact the nucleus of a lineup that, in the last three years, won a World Series, lost in the seventh game of the NLCS and lost in the World Series. The pitching staff has already been revamped -- only Lance Lynn pitched in both the 2011 and '13 World Series, but the churn should slow given the young arms who have debuted in the last two seasons.
"You're never going to close the door on potential things that could help the club," Mozeliak said, "but when you look at this team, it could look a lot like it does right now."
The Red Sox are more likely to have new faces -- newly shorn ones, at least -- and turnover induces uncertainty, whereas the Cardinals know they'll return a roster of enviable depth and upside. This World Series pairing, which we've already seen in '04 and '13, may prove habit-forming.
