Police: Homeowner shoots, kills home invader
Holly Hill home invasion ends violently, police say
A homeowner in Holly Hill shot and killed a home invader late Friday, police said.
Investigators said the homeowner was in the bedroom of his home in the 200 block of 15th Street when he was attacked by two men armed with a knife and a stun gun.
The homeowner shot and killed one of the men, who was later identified as 35-year-old Sanlee Alan Bennett, police said.
The other invader fled in a vehicle.
The homeowner and another resident were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening.

Cost Segregation Study (CSS)
A Cost Segregation Study (CSS) is designed to provide a defensible document to support accelerated depreciation of real estate. The purpose is to reclassify 39-year assets to more tax-favorable asset classes with 5-, 7- or 15-year lives. By converting "brick and mortar" assets (depreciated in a straight-line method over 39 years) to "personal property" assets (depreciated on a double-declining basis over 5 years), the real estate owner receives earlier tax depreciation expenses, thereby improving the cash flow from the property. The benefits of a CSS are best measured in Net Present Value (NPV) savings. Typical examples of personal property include architectural millwork, electrical and plumbing supply to personal property, movable partitions, security systems, exhaust equipment, decorative lighting, emergency generators, land improvements, signage, wall and floor coverings and window treatments.
A CSS is most applicable to buildings that are newly built, newly acquired, or about to be acquired. Newly constructed buildings are ready candidates because material and construction costs have generally been calculated already. Recently acquired existing buildings are also good candidates if a significant amount of depreciation has not already been taken. Even after a few years, assets that should have been reclassified can be recaptured in the current tax year.
A CSS also makes excellent sense during the due diligence phase for new acquisitions. At the time that we perform a Property Condition Assessment (PCA), Criterium-Farrell Yancy Engineers may also be able to perform a CSS. This approach not only saves time and money, and sets you up to depreciate your asset properly from the beginning, it also may factor into the purchase price, enabling you to be more competitive.
Real Estate Investments Best Suited to Undergo a Cost Segregation Study Include:
- Real estate construction valued at over $1 million
- Building acquisitions or improvements
- New buildings under construction
- Existing buildings undergoing renovations or expansions
Properties With The Best Savings Potential Include:
- Office buildings
- Shopping centers
- Restaurants
- Hotels
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Manufacturing and industrial plants
- Medical facilities

"A Polish Box Collection" - Antique Chest Pet Urn in 3 Sizes
The small keepsake urn measures 4" x 2 1/2" x 3" and has 3 cubic inches in capacity.
The medium urn measures 5-1/8" x 3-1/8" x 3" and has 15 cubic inches in capacity.
The large urn measures 6 1/8" x 4 1/8" x 4" and has 40 cubic inches in capacity.
Any wood glue can be used for sealing these urns.
These Polish boxes are hand-crafted from seasoned Linden wood in several villages high in the Tatra region of the Carpathian Mountains of southern Poland. The skilled artisans are descendants of Tatra shepherds and farmers called Goral (Highlanders), and are recognized as the best in their profession. These master craftsmen proudly apply centuries-old traditions of hand-craftsmanship to each one of these Polish boxes. The use of feather joints, raised interior lining, and recessed hinges in the construction of each Polish box ensures its lasting value as a memorial urn. Each box is hand-decorated with one or more of the following techniques: hand-carving, brass-inlaying, image burning, or staining.

Third party launchers have always been one of Android's strength. Back in the Ginerbread days, ADW LauncherEx and Launcher Pro offered unmatched customisability and features including themes support, multiple docks and more. With Android 4.0, a new bunch of launchers took over the Play Store. Nova Launcher has stood apart from the rest, thanks to a very long list of features, stability, performance and a very responsive developer.
The launcher got an update go v2.0 last night that contains a lot of new features. I guess the developer wanted to give a gift to all Nova users with such a massive update.
The massive change-log of all the new features and changes introduced in the latest version can be found below -:
- Custom Icon Size (Prime)
- Swipe actions on any desktop icon (Prime)
- Custom wallpaper cropping
- Increase maximum desktop grid size
- Infinite Scroll Drawer Setting
- Alphabetical list drawer style
- Small Icons Dock Setting
- Force wallpaper scrolling on USA SGS2
- Aggressive Desktop Setting (Keep in memory)*
- Lower memory usage
- Improve scrolling performance
- Fixes, optimizations and tuning
- *"Retrieve Running Apps" used for Aggressive Desktop and warning when multiple launchers are running
If you have not already, go ahead and give Nova Launcher a try on your Android device running Ice Cream Sandwich or higher.

From what I understand (reading through the forums and the net), the LCD not being serial, I'll need an arduino for sure on the LCD side, am I right?
Questions: 1) Hooking up a GPS to a wireless makes sense? fast enough for the data? (GPRMC nmea data at 5hz?)
2) On the sensor side, it could be between 2 modems + 0 arduino and 1 modem + 1 arduino.
Along with the LCD display, I would also like to access the wireless data over a computer (pc or android) Questions (cont.): 3) The big one; what kind of wireless protocol is best for what I am trying to do? (Xbee, Wifi, Bluetooth, Radio), I am getting a bit confused on what's available.
Are you familiar with network programming?
Have you a complete list of sensors that will be on the Arduino?
Regarding power consumption - it relates to how busy the wifi chip will be.As a point of example, a rig I have with a WiFly with a 3mA battery 100% uptime and a few sensors ... lasts just under 2 days. With it in a sleep mode for all but 30 seconds out of 5 minutes, the lifetime extends to weeks.

Before starting a new website, every user makes a few common WordPress mistakes. Nowadays, more and more people are inclined towards WordPress because of its convenience and support.
Every time someone asks to have the proper guidan...
Once in a while, we all come across articles related to SEO and how Google is changing algorithms every few months. To boost the SEO of your website, you may also have some scary thoughts because of the healthy competition on the web these days.
It's not new to hear that most peo...
If you write frequently then you must have been stuck in a situation where you wish you could undo an action that you performed. Well, there's a built-in feature for that known as the Post Revisions. It's just like a time machine which takes you back in time and let you correct your mistakes.
Don't know how to use this extremely useful feature? No need to worry, we have got you covered.
Getting to know Post Revisions
Before learning how to use this feature we should try to learn what is this feature. While writing posts on WordPress you should have noticed that it autosaves your progress. While this autosave process it also saves a temporary revision history.
And the revisions are saved permanently in the WordPress database when you publish or save the post. This helps you to undo any of the actions that you performed earlier.
Now that you have understood that what this feature let's dive into how to use it.
How to use this extremely useful feature?
You can easily spot the number of revisions on the Document panel while editing a post. To get to the post revisions screen click on this.
This screen will show you all of your post revisions ordered from latest to oldest along with other details like date and time of the revision and who made this revision. And the green and pink colors indicate changes made in the revisions.
Another very useful feature is the "Compare any two revisions" feature. This allows you to split the scrollbar into two which can be used to compare two revisions simultaneously by placing both the scrollbar buttons at different positions. To activate this feature you need the check the box next to "Compare any two revisions".
Once you find a revision to restore you have to click on it and then click on the "Restore this revision" button.
Some people may not have updated to the Gutenberg Editor. In case you are still using the classical editor, you will find the revisions option in the publish box that is present on the right. There you will see a"Browse" option next to the total number of revisions. Rest of the steps remain the same as the Gutenberg editor.
How to limit and delete post revisions?
Some of you here might be worrying about the amount of space the post revisions are going to occupy and that might slow down your site. That's nothing to worry about because it doesn't work this way. The thing is that WordPress looks for the revisions only when you are browsing through then and skips them while making database calls on the front end.
You are also free to set a limit to the number of revisions per article. If you wish to do so you just need to browse your website's wp-config.php file and then put the following code into it.
In the code above 'n' is the number of revisions for each post. Change it as per your choice.
This will save your site from getting extra post revisions. But what about those that you already have and do not need? Before deleting the revisions that you do not need any more we suggest that you make a new backup for your website so that you can restore it if in any case, something goes wrong.
Once you have created a new backup you need to go to the plugins section and install and activate the "WP-Optimize" plugin. Once it is successfully activated you need to go to WP-Optimize and then click on Database. Then check the box next to "Clean all post revisions" and click the "Run optimization" button. This will delete all the post revision from your website.
We hope you found it super easy to use the post revisions feature and you won't panic when you accidentally perform an action the next time in the editor window that you wish you hadn't. These simple steps can save you from a great deal of trouble.
Recently updated to WordPress 5.0 or above but don't know how to use the new default post editor, i.e, Gutenberg Block Editor? Don't worry we have got you covered.
Before learning how to update your old WordPress posts with Gutenberg blog editor it would be helpful to understand that in what ways is the Classic editor different from the new Gutenberg editor.
I hope you are familiar with Microsoft Word; the Classic editor was just like it. It had all the formatting option at the top while the large text editing area just below it.
As the name suggests, in the Gutenberg Block Editor content is added in the form of blocks. There are different blocks for all different types of contents. For example, a block for images and another block for text and yet another for a list, etc. So you'll have to deal with the blocks while editing your posts in the Gutenberg Block Editor.
You have no option but to use the Gutenberg Block Editor for editing your posts if you are running WordPress 5.0 or later as it is the default editor here. But no need to worry your old posts will be unaffected and it's not rocket science using this editor if you are familiar with the old Classic Editor.
When you edit an old article that was posted using the Classic Editor, you will see that all your content will be in a single block. Now to edit it you can either edit the content in the classic block that you see initially or you can convert the content into blocks. You won't find any difficulty editing the content if you go for the first option, it is the same as the Classical Editor.
If you opt for the second option, that is, you want to convert the content into blocks and then edit your post then you just have to click on the three dots on the top right of the Classical Editor. This will do the job.
Each of the boxes in this editor has its own formatting options. To edit any of these blocks all you have to do is simply click on the block and the formatting options will appear on the top of the block. Under the Block option in the right corner, you will find some more editing options.
After editing all the blocks you can click on the Update button in the top right corner.
Before you decide to start a new website using WordPress or any other Content Management System, you need to understand the importance of investing your money effectively.
There's a lot ofcheap Web hosting companies that provide some amazing features. Most customers do their research to compare WordPress hosting cost.
For beginners, it can be hard to decide if they want shared web hosting, VPS, dedicated, or managed hosting. It's because most of them have no idea about such technical things. But when they look at the cost of such plans, they freak out.
Everyone who wants to start a WordPress website, it's vital to understand that shared web hostings are most suitable because their cost is less yet you can get everything you need.
The best thing is that you can always choose any of thefree web hostings. But to have complete access to your website, you have to spend some money.
Just like every human, if you want to save money on buying or renewing web hosting, this article is for you. Let me walk you through a few things.
Most companies offer one free domain name for one year if you buy one of their web hosting plans. You would be thrilled to know that even shared WordPress web hosting companies offer this combo.
Many people prefer to manage their domain name and web hosting separately. So, there's another way to save some money.
The companies like GoDaddy give a discount on buying a new domain if you pay the cost for two years at once. This deal doesn't offer a free domain for the first year, but at least you will save some money.
For example, if the domain cost is $15 per year, and you pay the cost of two years at once, you may have to pay only $18. It means $3 for the first year.
As we all know, every company gives deals on their products. So, you should look for some coupons online. Many big websites like WPBeginner get amazing deals from Bluehost, Siteground, and Inmotionhosting, for their readers.
Such partner companies give special coupon codes. Although when you buy a web hosting plan from anyone's link, they make money, it doesn't charge you anything. You save some money.
Bluehost offers 63% off, and Siteground provides 70% off to the readers of major websites. Such coupons are available when you buy a new web hosting plan.
But it doesn't mean you can't get anything off while renewing your existing plan. You can always look for Bluehost hosting renewal prices, and some of the popular websites will pop up with a discount coupon code.
Do your research before buying.
When I bought my first Siteground hosting, I got it at only $15 for one year. You may be wondering how I got it. Well, it's all about being upfront.
If you fail to find any coupon codes, you should try talking to the sales team of a hosting company. Siteground offered me a fantastic deal on buying a plan for two years.
It's kind of similar to buying a domain name from GoDaddy. I have also had the pleasure to talk with Inmotionhosting's sales team. They were so helpful. I saved a lot of money on buying a new plan. It was almost 55% off on the biggest plan of shared hosting.
Siteground allows you to get one-month free web hosting if someone buys a new hosting plan from your affiliate link. Every company has a different affiliate program.
Bluehost offers $65 for each qualified sign-up, and you will be surprised to know that if you make more sales, you start earning $100 per sale. You can use that money to buy a new hosting plan or renew an existing one.
And if you're an affiliate of managed hostings like WP Engine, you can make $200 per sale. Isn't it amazing?
We all know that references work all the time. While buying a new hosting plan, you can reach out to your friend to refer you through their affiliate link.
And it's possible to save more money if your friend reaches out to the sales team and asks them for a particular discount affiliate link. It's a double saving.
Your friend gets the affiliate commission, and you get the discount. If your friend is good enough to split their commission with you, you can save a lot of money on WordPress hosting.
Buying a new domain name or web hosting plan isn't the only place you can save money. Many companies allow you to reduce the domain renewal cost.
Depending on your skills and research capability, you can get a massive discount. Once I got $13 off on a WordPress domain renewal. As mentioned earlier, you should look for deals.
We all like discounts. Don't we? What about you? Wouldn't you want to save some money on your next WordPress hosting renewal or fresh plan?
All these years, I have learned that before you buy something, it's necessary to spend some time looking for alternatives. If Siteground seems costly to you, go with Bluehost or any of the best WordPress hostings.
After understanding the concept of different types of WordPress hostings, you should decide which features you need. Some companies allow their customers to cut down the features they don't need.
For example, while buying a VPS plan, you get an option to manage your servers by yourself or by the company. Similarly, a few other things are there to learn about.
Make sure the next WordPress hosting cost is less than what you paid earlier. Have you followed any of the tips mentioned above? If yes, how much money did you save?
Do you think you can do it?

Serious Grape: Cool Summer Wines
On Fridays, Deb Harkness of Good Wine Under $20 drops by with Serious Grape.
The dog days of summer are upon us, and the heat is on. Many of us reach for beer or mixed drinks when the temperature climbs and we are in search of something icy cold and refreshing.
But you don't have to give up on wine. Instead, you need to make summer-savvy choices. Before the cool weather hits, check out some of these recommendations for cool reds, rosés, and whites that will quench your thirst and match beautifully with the simple, fresh foods of August and September.
If drinking red wine, go for lower alcohol choices. Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon can be hard to take when the temperature soars, given their tongue-puckering tannins and high alcohol. Instead, reach for a French Beaujolais or a red wine from a Mediterranean region such as Sicily. I've found that these wines can be chilled slightly (to around 60°F) without losing their flavor, which makes them even more refreshing. I am particularly fond of Sicilian reds made with Nero d'Avola or Frappato grapes. Look for the Valle d'Acata Frappato, with its floral aromas and fresh cherry and strawberry fruit (find this wine), or the Dievole Fourplay with its cherry, licorice, and blackberry notes (find this wine).
Robust rosés can stand in for red wines. Rosé wines are not the sappy, sweet wines you might remember. They're all grown up now, and pair well with burgers, roast chicken, other grilled foods. A chilled glass of rosé is one of the most refreshing, iconic summer drinks for me. Two I've enjoyed recently are the 2008 A to Z Wineworks Rosé made from Sangiovese grapes picked in Oregon, which is full-bodied and has raspberry, strawberry, and cucumber aromas and flavors (find this wine), and the 2008 Scherrer Winery Dry Rosé made from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel grapes grown in Sonoma County with intense aromas and flavors of strawberry and crisp, stony notes (find this wine)
Simple, unpretentious white wines are great for outdoor meals. For white wines, I head straight for lesser known, regional whites that pair well with fish and salads, and often select wines from Alsace, Portugal, and Italy. The entry-level Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and Rieslings made by Helfrich under their "Noble Varieties" label retail for under $15 and have delicate aromas of flowers and fruit and crisp, refreshing flavors (find these wines). Portugal's vinho verde ("green wines") are made to be drunk young, and have a little bit of spritz to accompany their fresh citrus flavors. And they are the best values in the market—you can often find the wines for around $5. Good makers to look for in your local wine shop include Quinta da Aveleda (find these wines) or Caves de Cerca (find these wines). When it comes to Italian whites, I head to the seaside and the wines of Sicily, Sardinia, and Liguria. One of my favorite go-to producers is Argiolas, who makes a range of white wines from Vermentino grapes. They are citrusy, refreshing, and sometimes a bit salty which makes them a perfect partner for a bucket of peel-and-eat shrimp or some calimari (find these wines).
Full Disclosure: I received the Dievole Fourplay as a sample.

One of the debut brands at last week's Greener by Design Conference in San Francisco was a company called Ditto Hangers, co-founded by industrial designer Gary Barker, also co-founder of Greenheart Global, Inc. It may seem trite to focus a brand on something as rudimentary as the everyday hanger, but that's precisely why this kind of 're-thinking design' is so pertinent. An estimated 8 billion polystyrene and polycarbonate hangers clog our landfills every year, and as Gary Barker points out, that's enough to fill the Empire State Building 4.6 times!
Long story short the manufacturing trend of producing 'floor ready garments' counter-intuitively produces piles (and piles) of hangers in dumpsters on a daily basis, as clothing arrives at retailers on the cheapest plastic hangers made, and there's no use for them within the store after purchase. Gary makes the case for a recycled and recyclable hanger incredibly well in his How Many Hangers Does it Take to Fill a Landfill? article.
Lest repeating the entire thing, one can find his article as well as many a scary fact on disposable plastic things on the Ditto Hanger site. You can also learn all about why nearly all of us walk around bioaccumulating Benzene and Bisphenol-A, two popular chemicals used in polystyrene plastics. The problem with 'disposable' plastics and even most recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable plastics, is that they never really go away – such as are the laws of thermodynamics: that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed and that they tend to disperse.
The Ditto 10-pack, available at www.Amazon.com, comes in a 100% recycled and highly compressed paperboard option as well as a 100% recyclable PET plastic option. Both are available in a range of colors and have a client branding option, for custom advertising on the hanger itself. These are an excellent replacement to the much-disliked metal and equally bad disposable plastic hangers.

Policy and Procedures for the Protection of Children and Youth
NYAA welcomes everyone and is committed to helping individuals and families enjoy athletics.
We also recognize that today's society is not immune from the painful reality of child abuse. We understand the
devastating damage done to a child's growth when abused within an academic or athletic setting. As an organization, we must take intentional measures to protect our children.
This policy is designed to provide safety and openness: to provide protection for our children while maintaining an atmosphere that welcomes all. By providing many sports with supervisory responsibilities and screening requirements, we are striving to meet the needs of today's youth. By developing and implementing safety procedures and precautions, we are trying to ensure that the growth and development of our children is not disrupted by the preventable evil of child abuse.
This policy will:
• Establish a procedure for reducing the risk of child abuse which is consistent with the law;
• Establish minimum guidelines for educating our members and staff about child abuse;
• Establish a procedure for reporting and responding to allegations of abuse
• Do everything reasonable to assure a healthy and safe environment where everyone can enjoy athletics.
This comprehensive plan presents procedures for Screening, Supervision, and Response.
These procedures are the minimum necessary precautions for protecting children. NYAA will endeavor to monitor updates and recommendations by the NYAA Board of Directors and may modify these procedures.
"NYAA": The Northwestern Youth Athletic Association, PO Box 7, New Tripoli PA 18066. www.nyaatigers.org.
"Adult": a person 18 years of age or older or out of high school.
"Child": any person under the age of 18 or still in high school
"Staff Person": any person employed, appointed by or volunteering with the NYAA as a coach or director.
"The Two-Adult Rule": a standard that requires that at any NYAA activity there will be at least two UNRELATED adults present. Two related people may serve together, but a third person should be present as well. This may include the presence of an adult "roamer" who moves in and out of rooms/activity areas.
"Children's Activity": any activity or program sponsored by NYAA in which children are under the supervision of staff persons.
"We": NYAA.
"Child abuse": as defined under Pennsylvania Child Protective Services Law means any of the following:
(I) Any recent act or failure to act by a perpetrator which causes non-accidental serious physical injury to a child under 18 years of age.
(ii) Any act or failure to act by a perpetrator which causes non-accidental serious mental injury to or sexual abuse or sexual exploitation of a child under 18 years of age.
(iii) Any recent act, failure to act or series of acts or failures to act by a perpetrator which creates an imminent risk of serious physical injury to or sexual abuse or sexual exploitation of a child under 18 years of age.
(iv) Serious physical neglect by a perpetrator constituting prolonged or repeated lack of supervision or the failure to provide essentials of life, including adequate medical care, which endangers a child's life or development or impairs the child's functioning.
"Crisis Management Team": a group of individuals to include the parents, legal counsel, medical, psychological or counseling representative and others as deemed necessary. This group shall be a standing group appointed as needed by the NYAA Board of Directors, and the NYAA President or Legal Council will act as the point of contact (contact information via www.nyaatigers.org).
SCREENING PROCEDURES & Background Check Info (for coaches & volunteers):
The State of Pennsylvania passed new legislation requiring any adult applying for an unpaid position as a volunteer who will have direct contact with children to obtain background checks/clearances. The new requirements are effective July 1, 2015. If you are a Northwestern Youth Athletic Association (NYAA) Volunteer in any capacity, you are required to obtain the following clearances every 60-months:
Pennsylvania State Police Criminal Record Check (PSP)
Child Abuse History Clearance from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (Child Abuse).
A fingerprint based Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal history- if the volunteer has lived outside the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the last ten years. Volunteers who are not required to obtain the FBI Clearance because they have been a continuous resident of Pennsylvania for the past ten years must swear or affirm in writing that they are not disqualified from service.
Outlined below, you will find the cost of the clearances:
Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Criminal Record Check: $0.00 (or reimbursable)
Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance (Child Abuse): $0.00 (or reimbursable)
FBI Criminal Background check through PA Dept. of Human Services: $27.50 (reimbursable by NYAA)
If you work/volunteer for a school district, human services organization, etc., and already have the required clearances and they are less than 60-months old, you do not have to complete this process until within 60-months of the date of the most recent clearance. If you previously obtained clearances but they are more than 60-months old, you have until July 1, 2016 to complete the process.
While volunteers will be responsible for completing and paying for the clearances up front, NYAA will reimburse/credit volunteers when they provide proof of the required clearances. This new process will replace all other background check processes previously required by NYAA and its leagues. NYAA will not reimburse for clearances already secured for other jobs or volunteer services and that pre-date this notification of June 1, 2015.
The Child Abuse, PSP and FBI clearances can all be applied for and paid for electronically. The FBI clearance also requires a fingerprint submission. Once all clearances are obtained, you will receive certificates that you MUST provide copies to NYAA for compliance to the requirement as well as for reimbursement/credit. All NYAA Volunteers are asked to begin the clearance process before the start of a season as it could take several weeks to secure all the required clearances.
Please go to the following websites to complete the clearance process:
Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Criminal Record Check https://epatch.state.pa.us/Home.jsp
Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance (Child Abuse) https://www.compass.state.pa.us/CWIS
FBI Criminal Background check through PA Dept. of Human Services (if you haven't lived in PA for 10 yrs) https://www.identogo.com
Information on the new requirements pertaining to Child Abuse Clearances can also be found at www.KeepKidsSafe.PA.gov.
These clearances are required for ALL NYAA volunteers.
Volunteers need to provide certificates of clearance, to their respective sport Director.
NYAA, due to the State requirement, will reimburse/credit all volunteers who provide proof that they have secured the required clearances/affidavits.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our Executive Board
The second step to providing a place of safety for children is conscientious and intentional supervision. These procedures are designed to reduce the possibility of abuse to children and to protect persons from unwarranted accusations. These are minimum standards. Each sport may adopt more stringent standards as necessary.
• Minimum supervisory standards include the "Two-Adult Rule." The "Two-Adult Rule" standard not only helps provide a safe environment for the children, it also provides volunteers with more encouragement, creativity, and flexibility.
• Each room or enclosed space, when applicable, where activities are held shall have a window in the door or the door shall be left open. All sports should occur in open view.
Once an incident of child abuse occurs or an allegation is made, it is crucial that it be dealt with speedily and in a clearly outlined manner. The person who observes alleged abuse or to whom such abuse is reported shall report the incident immediately to the staff person in charge of the children's activity. The staff person in charge of the children's activity in which the alleged abuse was observed or disclosed shall obtain necessary information such as the name of the alleged victim and his/her address and family information.
If the allegation is against a NYAA staff person or if it occurred in the course of an NYAA activity, the staff person in charge of the activity will contact the NYAA Board who will mobilize the Crisis Management Team. The Crisis Management Team will then make the initial contact with the Pennsylvania Childline & Abuse Registry (1-800-932-0313). The staff person will also contact the Child's guardian(s) immediately and an in-person meeting arranged as soon as practical. (A 24-hour time frame suggested for reporting).
If the allegation concerns activities or persons outside any relationship to an NYAA related event or activity, the staff person will contact the NYAA Board who will mobilize the Crisis Management Team. The Crisis Management team will then make the initial contact with the Pennsylvania Childline & Abuse Registry (1-800-932-0313). An example of this would be a child telling a coach about abuse by a relative during the prior year. (24 hour maximum time frame suggested for reporting)
Persons who are the objects of the report shall refrain from all coaching, staff or other volunteer activities until the incident report is resolved. NYAA Board members will take responsibility for informing the person they are to be removed from coaching, staff or volunteer activities and inform them of steps to be taken in the investigation. In any removal of a person from any coaching, staff or volunteer activities, care should be taken to handle this in a discreet manner, recognizing that an investigation is still being conducted.
A quick, compassionate and unified response to an alleged incident of child abuse is expected. All allegations will be taken seriously. In all cases of reported or observed abuse in a sport, the entire organizational arm of that activity shall be at the service of all official investigating agencies.
The NYAA Board President, or his/her designee, is the only person authorized to make statements to representatives of the media. All requests for statements should be directed to the NYAA Board President. Training in how to handle media requests should be a regular part of staff training. A spirit of cooperation in helping the media find the "official spokesperson" is often helpful.
Thank you for your support!

Floral Notes and Bardo: The Creative Chronicles of a Shambhala Mountain Resident is a daily feature on the SMC blog in which a member of our staff/community shares his experience of existing as part of Shambhala Mountain Center.
A week of staff retreat–so, so good…
Meditation in the mornings, talks from our teachers, a beautiful lahsang on day one, cooking meals for each other. In the afternoons–activities: music group, art, nature, physical movement, study…
So, peeps chose a track, grouped up, and got deep into those activities. Some of us peeps got into music. I facilitated the group and encouraged deep listening, space exploration, improvisation… edgy spots, sweet spots, unexpected things. And after we bravely improvised together, becoming braver as the days went on, we'd spend some time just hanging out with some tunes–Irish tunes, Brazilian jazz tunes… everyone in the group was coming from a different place, musically, and so the improv was interesting and also the hangout section was lots of fun and varied.
The first night of the retreat we held council practice for the whole community. People sharing from the heart in a sacred space. I felt such deep love for everyone. It set the tone for the rest of the retreat.
Such immersion into what it is to live here. Time spent together–practicing, playing, just being together. Lots of spontaneous, long conversations. People staying after meals just to hang… Ahh, so good. Time with the land. Time enjoying living in this amazing situation together, free from the day-to-day complexities and stresses that go along with trying to keep the thing afloat, and progress towards greater operations. Of course (of course!), the greatest operation is ever-happening. This was a nice reminder of that.
In the evenings there were various activities–dancing, movies… Nathaniel and I hosted a sound bath. People laying on cushions in the center of the shrine room–heads together in the center, huge speakers all around, dimmed lights, and an hour and forty minutes of washy, lush, beautiful music curated by Nathaniel, who has exceptional taste. I offered a bit of my music into the mix, which he blended nicely.
Milarepa Day on day 6. Oh, wow! A full day of reciting, singing, chanting "The Rain of Wisdom"–spontaneous songs of our Kagyu forefathers. So, so, beautiful. So deep. We began at 9am and went until after 10pm. A very rich, traditional Buddhist day. We drank chai and nettle tea on breaks. Sho mo! What a joyful, good experience!
The next day we went to the Great Stupa for Sadhana of Mahamudra. I was so glad for how everything lined up/unfolded. We spent a lot of time planning and preparing for the retreat, and then it seemed the magical forces kicked in and carried it to better places than we could have imagined.
We ended with a feast at which we practiced the Shambhala Sadhana, dined, and had libations, toasts, and made offerings. The music group performed, others sang and shared things about their experience throughout the retreat, the art group had everyone throw colorful paper airplanes…
Rejoicing the Container: Our friend Tara–who was here and then left–asked us to put this nice thing into place: a box which collects 'thank yous'–to people, from people. We did so and offered the thank yous at the feast. Everyone read one from the box. Touching.
So… Ahh! Such a deeply beautiful immersion into the magic of living here together. That's the thesis. That was the intention and it really hit nicely. So grateful. Now onwards into the springtime…
–March 24, 2014
Travis Newbill is a curious dude on the path of artistry, meditation, and social engagement who is very glad to be residing at Shambhala Mountain Center. His roles within the organization include Marketing Associate and Head Dekyong–a position of leadership within the community.

Lady Flames defeat Tri-City 3-2
October 6, 2012 | Lynchburg, Va.
The Lady Flames Division I hockey team came away with a 3-2 victory over the Tri-City Selects from the Carolina Amateur Hockey Association to close out Homecoming Weekend Saturday night in the LaHaye Ice Center.
The Selects jumped out early as Nicole Adden scored on a pass from Sara Herr to put Tri-City up 1-0 midway through the opening period.
Liberty got two goals in quick succession from senior Carly Peleshok and went into the intermission with a 2-1 lead.
Shelby Saltys tied the game at 2 midway through the second, as Liberty goaltender Sam Rupp could not corral the loose puck.
Freshman Carrie Jickling scored the decisive goal for the Lady Flames shortly after, giving Liberty a 3-2 lead they would not lose.
The third period was physical, with the teams whistled for a combined eight penalties in the period. But despite the physical play, the Selects could not manage a tying goal and the Lady Flames held on for the victory.
Liberty outshot Tri-City 48-16 on the game, and Rupp went the distance for the victory, allowing the two goals while making 16 saves. Kelsey Neumann took the loss for the Selects, stopping 45 shots.
The two teams will conclude their two game series on Sunday afternoon, game time is 2:45 p.m.

Their memories are clear, undimmed after seven decades.
John Fletcher can see dead German soldiers stacked in a truck and multicolored parachutes dropping on Bastogne, Belgium, in the desperate winter of 1944-45.
A scene from August 1942 plays in Ted Cummings' mind, the unexpected sound of music on a blood-spattered ridge.
Rico Pace remembers that the sand was dyed red on Omaha Beach as soldiers struggled inland on June 6, 1944.
Images of a Nazi death camp are locked in Ben Cooper's memory.
Many Connecticut veterans of World War II, now in their late 80s and 90s, have only recently revealed such vivid pictures. Some have written about their roles in history's deadliest war, but only for family and friends. Others have spoken to students and civic groups and agreed to videotaped interviews available to anyone with Internet access.
Stories that haven't been told vanish with those who hold them. About 555 World War II veterans die each day, according to the National World War II Museum. Of the approximately 16 million who served, just over 1 million are still alive, about 13,000 of them in Connecticut.
The Veterans History Project at Central Connecticut State University has recorded interviews with about 700 state war veterans. Soldiers, sailors and Marines who were unwilling or unready to speak publicly have reconsidered as they near the end of their lives, project Director Eileen Hurst said.
"A lot of them were scarred, but they didn't talk," Hurst said. "They came home, they wanted to go forward with life and forget. The problem is, you don't forget."
Looking for interview subjects several years ago, Hurst called Cummings, a U.S. Marine veteran from Manchester. Cummings declined, but Hurst called again recently, and this time Cummings embraced the chance to tell his story.
"If you're not careful," he said, "war becomes almost casual and sanitized. ... It's all forgotten or it's barely touched on, and the awfulness and size of that conflict was something that should not become a passing thought of casual interest.
"So the stories should be told. War — there's no glory in it. There's just horror and stuff that leaves bad memories, yet there are some good ones, too, because somehow, men and women retain their humanness in all of the chaos."
The Veterans History Project did a three-part interview with Cummings: "When he opened up, he opened up," Hurst said.
The Piano Player
Then 18 and serving with the 1st Marine Division, Cummings describes a moment in August 1942 on a grassy ridge bisecting the tiny island of Tulagi in the Solomons, a first objective in the Battle of Guadalcanal.
"We came out of the half light of the jungle into the brilliance of the South Pacific morning and it was like being in a balcony seat in a large theater," said Cummings, 90, a retired insurance company owner.
"To the right, we could see everything — the invasion fleet anchored, wakes of the small boats ferrying supplies into the troops that had landed the previous day, and the air was heavy with smoke from burning buildings and oil stores and there was a bite from the cordite in your nostrils.
"You could hear the cough of the mortars and the long roll of them firing and the crack of rifles. In a cut in the ridge ahead of us, we could see the mouths of caves and the winking of enemy machine guns, and suddenly a Marine began to rappel down the face of the cut with a satchel charge fastened to the end of a long pole, and he stuck it into the end of that cave that he was targeting and it blew.
"Suddenly, two dive bombers came in very, very low and the pilot and the gunner waved to us and they dropped their 250-pounders on the cut and you could feel the concussion from the exploding bombs and the heat.
"Off about a mile and a half, Marines were landing on two specks, former volcanic cones, Gavutu and Tanambogo, and a Navy destroyer was firing its guns ahead of those Marines. You could hear the "whump, whump," and to the right, immediately to the right, was a smashed, large white house that we found out later was the resident high commissioner's house. There were large pools of dried blood on the ridge, on the grass. There had been a hell of a fight there the night before.
"The house was crumbled from shell fire and yet next to it, in between the splinters, was this piano with one of its feet shot off so that it canted. All of a sudden we were standing there seeing all this, smelling it, feeling it, and this Marine got out of the file, walked over to the piano and as he moved toward it our eyes met and his eyes danced a little bit. They were bright and he was kind of half smiling.
"He moved up to that piano and with all of the chaos going on he played — I don't think a half dozen of us heard him because of the noise — he played, 'You may not be an angel / But angels are so few / So until the real thing comes along / I'll string along with you.'
"He played it again. The humanness of the act! Then he looked and our eyes met again just briefly. I never saw him again. I hear that song occasionally. ... He played it. He meant it. A few of us heard it, and when the bombers flew overhead, they smiled and waved. They didn't hear."
'I Always Cut It Short'
Pace, 92, of West Hartford, served with the Army's 197th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion. He fought in five battles and witnessed the horrors of the Nazi death camps.
"I was in the first wave on Omaha Beach" on the Normandy coast of France, he said. "We got off the ship at 6:30 in the morning. We were on the beach six to eight hours before we could get up that hill."
When his halftrack rolled off a landing ship, the beach was "nice brown sand." Hours later, the sand was red with the blood of thousands of American soldiers, he said.
Pace said that in the years after the war, he spoke with his family about some of what he experienced during the war, but otherwise said little.
"Details are too horrible to talk about," he said. "I always cut it short.
"I didn't want to get reminded again of what I went through. Now, I'm 92. I remember it as a picture in my mind — the agony, the crying, the poor GIs running around, getting hit, bombs going off, soldiers calling out, soldiers blowing apart, screaming, fear."
After the war, Pace worked for 47 years at Allen Manufacturing Co., volunteered as a tour guide at the state Capitol and continues to volunteer two days at week at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford.
In the first years after he returned, he would sometimes wake up screaming, he said. Time has healed many of those old wounds, he said, but once in a while he'll dream about it again.
"It eats you alive inside, and that's only part of it. Everybody suffers."
When he talks about his experience, it is so others "know what war is all about, how gruesome it is, how sad it is."

Cooper, 92, was a combat medic with the 45th Infantry Division, one of the units that liberated the Dachau concentration camp.
Cooper arrived at Dachau the day after it was liberated. He was horrified by what he saw — misery, starvation, the systematic murder of men, women and children.
"I was overwhelmed by the inhumanity," Cooper said. "My God, it was horrible."
The surviving prisoners were in deplorable condition. "I couldn't tell men from women," he said.
Cooper carried a camera with him throughout the war, and he took photographs everywhere he went, including at Dachau. What he saw continues to haunt him.
"You just can't forget," he said. "They were innocent people."
After the war, he shared his photos, but was troubled by the response.
"I showed the … pictures to my family and people in my neighborhood," he said. "'Oh, that can't be,' and, 'It couldn't have been that bad,'" were the responses. "So I put them away and didn't talk about it. I went on with my life."
After the war, Cooper got into the family package store business and joined the Jewish War Veterans. He got to know many of the death camp survivors who settled in West Hartford and in Hartford's North End.
"A lot of fellows took up drinking," Cooper said. "You had to do something to get over what you saw in combat. It was locked in my chest. It just bothered me."
In 1990, a schoolteacher in Torrington asked Cooper to speak about his wartime experiences. Since then he has spoken many times to school and civic groups about the Holocaust and what he saw. He speaks each year at Hall High School in West Hartford, his alma mater, and at Conard High. Lately, he's been joined by his close friend Henny Simon, who survived the death camps.
Cooper said he is deeply troubled by those who deny that the Holocaust occurred and the ease with which young people can come across that information and become confused.
"The kids today are very vulnerable," Cooper said. "If they hear a lie long enough, they think it's true."
Talking about what he saw, bearing witness to the Nazis' crimes, has been good for Cooper.
"It's been a healing process for me," he said. "I've noticed when you get it off your chest and you can talk about it, it does help."
Bouncing Betty
Joseph Borriello, 90, of Meriden, was a radio operator with the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division. At age 76, after retiring as a school administrator in Meriden, he wrote a book about his experiences, mainly for his children. Here, in a passage from the book and from an interview, he describes a 1943 minesweeping mission in Tunisia and the first GI he saw killed:
"The first day we went out to clear a mine field, we were instructed in the use of a mine detector. We worked in pairs, one on the detector and the other putting down tracing tape as we went along to show which area had been cleared."
The type of mine they were clearing, Borriello explained in the interview, were called "Bouncing Betties." Barely visible, their needle-like prongs protruded above ground. When triggered, the antipersonnel mine jumped from the ground and sprayed shrapnel. Stepping on a prong, Borriello said, made a noise like the snapping of a dry twig.
"If we missed a mine with the detector and stepped on one, at the sound of the pop, we were to yell, 'Mine,' and we all turn and hit the ground that has already been swept," he wrote. "One of the fellows in the next row to us was named Cpl. Tom Redmond. About 20 yards into the mine field, he yelled 'Mine!' and we all hit the dirt. For some unknown reason, the mine was a little late in exploding. Apparently Tom thought it was a false alarm, so he started to get up. That's when the mine exploded and he was riddled with shrapnel.
"For three days," Borriello said, "every time I closed my eyes, I saw Redmond getting killed."
'We Never Saw Him Again'
Fletcher, 89, of Manchester, was with the U.S. Army's 10th Armored Division, one of the units that fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
He says his memories of the war are "like it happened yesterday," yet he never talked about them, even with his wife and four children.
He's matter-of-fact about it: "I didn't feel anybody was interested. … Guys got killed; it didn't make me go crazy."
After retiring from a career as a lawyer for insurance companies, Fletcher took a writing class last year at the local senior center. He dropped the class after completing several essays about his war experience.
"I couldn't think of anything else to write about," he said.
Here he writes about the siege of Bastogne:
"After several days, our supplies were running low. We were down to about 12 rounds per man, and short on food. … There were waves of C-47s overhead, which dropped multicolored parachutes, which might have been made in Manchester. The women in town were delighted to get them, to make clothes. During the German occupation, material was hard to get.
"Renee Lemaire [a Belgian nurse who had been helping the Americans, Lemaire was killed when the Germans bombed an aid shelter] had hoped to get one of them for her wedding dress. We gave her relatives one and I believe they buried it with her."
Fletcher also remembered German soldiers killed in an artillery barrage. The Americans loaded the bodies head-first into a truck, "and all you could see was their boots," Fletcher said.
"You get a mind-set. You're killing people and they're killing you, and you kind of lose your humanity — or you go crazy."
In an essay titled, "Feelings," Fletcher wrote about a soldier who had reached the end of endurance.
"There were men who lost their minds during the combat period. In our war, they called it 'combat fatigue.' … I remember that we had one man, a replacement, who acted 'numb' all the time. We sent him back to the medics. They didn't believe he was ill, so they sent him back up with the next load of replacements.
"Just a few days later, we were situated on the top of a flat hill. The German shells, with flat trajectory, were going over our heads and exploding about a hundred yards behind us. We were standing by our half-tracks eating breakfast when they brought in some mortars, and the shells were exploding around us. The man was hit in his steel helmet with a piece of shrapnel that dented his helmet and raised a welt on the side of his head. He went completely berserk, and this time the medical staff believed him. We never saw him again."

He is best known for his work "Custer's Last Rally" (1881), his paintings of the American Civil War, and depiction of the early days on the open prairies of the West.
However, much of his work was lost over the years, according to Niamh O'Sullivan, professor emeritus of Visual Culture at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin.
"He had huge coverage in the American press and was written up in the most enthusiastic of ways," said O'Sullivan, who is shocked that he has become such a forgotten figure over the last century. "What interests me is that he's both quintessentially Irish and quintessentially American and displays a combination of the two."
O'Sullivan has studied the works of this forgotten icon, whose paintings like "The Preliminary Trial of a Horsethief" (1876), "Battle of Aughrim" (1885) and "Portrait of Robert Emmet" (1897) have been lost in the cobwebs of American history.
According to O'Sullivan, who has traveled to the states several times in search of his work and information about the painter, Mulvany was lost in a puzzle of Irish-American folklore after he was allegedly assassinated for getting involved with a mob-like crowd in the Irish underground in 1906.
"Because he died under such harsh conditions, he was forgotten," she believes. "There was nobody to keep his reputation after his death."
Today, O'Sullivan says some of his paintings might start to emerge throughout the neighborhoods of North Brooklyn where he did much of his work in the late 1800's.
"A lot of these artists are being rediscovered now," O'Sullivan said. "These are definitely paintings of one of the most important artists of his generation."
While currently working on a book about Mulvany's life and impact on the art world, which she says will be roughly two years in the making, O'Sullivan is reaching out to anyone who knows the whereabouts of his lost artwork in hopes of reclaiming a piece of his forgotten past.
"He was a phenomenon in his time," she said.

AlunaGeorge will perform a first-of-its-kind concert that will be recreated live in the virtual world of videogame Minecraft.
The actual concert is being held in Hamar, Norway as part of an annual tech festival, the Gathering, but the band will also simultaneously appear in pixelated form in the hit videogame.
A team of volunteers will control avatars modelled after the performers, matching their every movement in the game.
In a trailer for the event, a horde of boxy characters run towards the show while AlunaGeorge's new single 'I'm in Control' plays in the background.
Dette blir så kult! Artistene har siste gjennomkjøring på scenen akkurat nå. Er du klar for å kjempe deg gjennom Minecraft-verdenen for å komme først til scenen? Følg også vår live stream fra Vikingskipet på https://stream.tg16.gathering.org/
Posted by The Gathering on Tuesday, 22 March 2016
Ahead of the concert, users have created billboards and flyers inside Minecraft advertising the performance. Due to server constraints space will be limited, with enough room for a few thousand fans.
"I'm sure they'll be able to accommodate around 2,000 to 3,000 people, so this will have the same sort of feel as seeing a show in small concert venue," said Erik Heisholt, a Gathering organizer and founder of the tech company Heisholt Inc.
The concert is scheduled to begin at 8pm this evening (March 23). Watch below.

Much to my surprise, Larry Witticisms from perl Errors still works -- from perl 5.005 all the way to perl 5.12. Given that this obfu creates random Larry witticisms based on the precise wording of perl error messages that is a huge and very pleasant surprise. I salute the Perl 5 Porters! Update: It finally broke with perl 5.14 (thanks to ambrus for pointing this out).

Jake Adelstein, author of the non-fiction underworld yarn Tokyo Vice, got a handful of gangsters to review Sega's crime game Yakuza 3. But how?
According to the original story, Adelstein appeared at "a shady real estate office in Tokyo" with cigarettes and whiskey "to teach these gangsters how to handle a PlayStation controller". That wasn't the only thing being handled, it seems.
In an interview with Penthouse, Adelstein says that one of the reviewers was "very reluctant" to do the review. He made Adelstein an offer.
"In a roundabout way, he said he'd review the game if I did him a favour, which was to have sex with his girlfriend while he watched, because that really got him off," he tells Penthouse. "I'm not gonna say what my reply was, but we worked out a compromise and he did help with the review."
The lengths this man had to go for a Yakuza 3 review...
Yakuza 4 is out in North America next year. Perhaps that yakuza would like to review it. Perhaps he needs persuasion. Perhaps!
