Indians Shut Out Red Raiders 49-0
The Stephens County Indian football team gets back on the winning track in Region 8-AAAA play.
Following two straight close losses, the Indians bounced back Friday to beat Madison County 49-0 in Danielsville.
The Indians scored on every possession in the first half of the game, adding in a defensive touchdown for a good measure. The entire second half was played with a running clock, with neither team scoring in the final two quarters.
Chaz Thornton ran for 138 yards and three touchdowns on just six carries, while Josh Tate added two rushing touchdowns for the Indians.
Dionte Mayfield completed three of his four pass attempts on the night for 93 yards, including a 52-yard touchdown pass to Tomas Colbert.
Defensively, Aahlijah Drinkard returned an interception for a touchdown.
The Indians took over from the Madison County 15-yard line on their first possession after the Indian defense forced a fumble. Two plays later, Thornton took it in from 1 yard out for a 7-0 Indian lead.
After a Madison punt, Chaz Thornton went 38 yards on second-and-10 to give Stephens County a 14-0 lead four minutes into the game.
The Indians made it 21-0 on a 58-yard Thornton touchdown run five minutes later.
Tate scored his first touchdown from a yard out with 10 minutes to go in the first half to make it 28-0.
With just over seven minutes to go in the first half, Mayfield hit Colbert for a 52-yard touchdown pass to make it 35-0.
90 seconds later, Drinkard intercepted Madison quarterback TJ Skelton and returned it about 35 yards for a score to make it 42-0.
The final Indian score came with just over three minutes left in the half on Tate's second one-yard touchdown run.
The Indians are now 5-2 on the season overall and 2-2 in Region 8-AAAA. Madison County drops to 0-7 overall and 0-4 in region play.
Stephens County returns home next Friday to take on Lanier at the Reservation. Lanier lost to Chestatee in overtime this week 43-36.
Kick-off next Friday from the Reservation is set for 7:30 p.m.
In other action from Region 8-AAAA, Monroe Area beat Walnut Grove 49-6 and Eastside beat Lumpkin County 52-16.
Elsewhere in the area, Habersham Central lost to North Gwinnett 44-6, Oconee County beat Franklin County 49-33, and Hart County beat Jackson County 31-16.

Macworld.com – Recently, after swapping a couple of machines (I sent my first-generation Intel-based Mac mini back to the Macworld offices, and we bought an iMac for the kids and general use), I realized that I had inadvertently also disabled my locally-hosted Web sites: I used to use the mini as a local Web server, and it served out copies of the Mac OS X Hints site, as well as the various family sites I maintain. I didn't really want to keep the iMac running all the time just to have the Web server running, so I decided to move the server to my Mac Pro.
While OS X ships with a built-in Web server, it doesn't ship with MySQL, the database engine that enables sites such as macosxhints.com to work. Installing it is relatively straightforward--there are OS X installer versions available on the MySQL site. About the only trick comes in choosing which version of MySQL to install--some content management systems only work with certain versions. In my case, I wanted MySQL 4.1 for compatibility with the macosxhints.com site. Unfortunately, I managed to download and install version 5.0 without noticing. As soon as I noticed the problem, I downloaded the 4.1 package, and attempted to install it. The installer, however, refused to proceed, telling me there was already a newer version of MySQL installed.
Since the installer didn't want to install due to the presence of the newer version of MySQL, I thought I'd first get rid of that newer version. In the case of MySQL, all the code lives in the /usr/local/mysql directory, which is actually a symbolic link (like an alias in the Finder) to a directory with a much longer name. So in Terminal, I issued a sudo rm -r /usr/local/mysql-long-directory-name to remove all the MySQL code. Note that this command will delete all of your MySQL databases in addition to MySQL itself! In my case, I didn't care, because I hadn't yet migrated the databases over to the Mac Pro.
I then tried to run the installer again, but it still failed, saying a newer version was installed. After some thinking, I remembered the /Library/Receipts folder--this is where installers write out records of what they did. Perhaps, I thought, the MySQL installer is looking at the Receipts folder, seeing the MySQL 5.0 receipt, and using that as the basis for stopping the install.
In Terminal, I did cd /Library/Receipts, and then ls -d mysql* to see what was there. Sure enough, I found a receipt for the MySQL 5 installation, named something like mysql-standard-5.0.67-apple-darwin8.5.1-i686.pkg. I deleted that directory (sudo rm -r mysql-standard...), and then ran the 4.1 installer again. Success! The 4.1 install ran fine, I then moved over my databases, and had the internal web server up and running again a few minutes later. OK, so it was several hours later; it just seemed like a few minutes!
Generalizing from my experiences with MySQL, here's the process I would follow to downgrade a program that was installed with Apple's installer:
1. Run the installer for the new version again. If you're lucky, they'll be an uninstall option. If so, use that, then install the old version. Also look for an uninstaller hiding in the application's folder, if it has one.
2. If there's no uninstaller, remove all traces of the new program from your machine. Start by looking at the program's receipts folder in /Library/Receipts in Terminal. You should see a top-level receipts folder, which you can cd into.
From there, use ls and cd until you find a file whose name ends in .bom. This file will usually (but not always) reside in the Contents folder and be named Archive.bom. Once you've found the file, type lsbom Archive.bom | more and press Return. This will show you exactly which files the installer wrote to your system.
In most cases, it will also show you the full path to those files. Use this data to delete all traces of the newer program from your system. In the case of MySQL, unfortunately, this file isn't much help, as it doesn't show the final install path. If that's the case for your program, too, you'll have to resort to searching your system (or Google searching for help) to find and eliminate all the parts.
3. After removing all the program's parts, remove the actual receipts folder from the /Library/Receipts folder. You'll need to use sudo rm -r receipts_folder_name, as changes to this directory require admin authorization.
4. Once you've removed all the parts and the receipts file, run the installer for the older version of the program, and it should work just fine.
Of course, there's a big bold caution that goes with these instructions: when you're messing around with removing installed versions of programs, you can damage things--you could inadvertently remove a system-owned file, for instance, or miss a piece of the code that then messes up your downgrade. Proceed at your own risk.
Perhaps at some point in the future, OS X will have easy snapshots and restore points, as has been possible on Windows for quite a while now. Until then, though, downgrading will be something of a trial-and-error process.

I know that others have commented on the similarities between John Reese and Jason Bourne, but this episode highlighted one of those parallels when Dr. Turing mentioned that Reese was hyper-aware and liked to protect people. Jason Bourne is definitely the superior of the two, because he can win almost any physical fight and also seems to be able to predict what others will do more often than Reese can.
But John compares with Jason with how he uses the same fighting styles and considerately waits to punch someone until they have touched him in a manner that indicates that they want to detain him. In the pilot episode, Anton was the only person in the room with guns that he didn't hurt. This was because the young thug finally had learned not move threateningly and keep his hands up in an indication of surrender, but the other punks were trying to harm or kill John.
John also went out of his way to not hurt the two men who escorted him to Finch, even though he didn't know what kind of situation he was being forced into. That was because they treated him with respect and didn't come within a foot of him.
Then when they did try to physically stop him from walking away from Harold, he took pity on them. Because he understood that they were Finch's bodyguards and only doing their job, he simply knocked them into each other. That gave one man a headache and bruised the other guy's nose, but Reese could have created a lot worse damage, as he proved time and again in different episodes.

We are here again because I dump on that amazing judgment. I was just a online casino reviews geek to a portion of maniacs. online casinos is representative of a major group of online casinos cooperatives. slot machines is what really makes me happy.

text: The Omega Men wiki last edited by chrisburgess99 on 03/11/16 08:18PM View full history The Omega Men hail from the Vegan system, a planetary system with twenty-five habitable planets, which as of the early 1980s had been ruled for millennia by the Citadelians, a race of warriors cloned from the First Citadelian the demigod-like son of X'Hal.The Citadelians established a tyrannical regime based in a fortress moon known as the Citadel. The citadel then set about to conquer the younger races of Vega. Originally there were only two races in the Vegan system, the primitive Branx and the warlike Okaarans, but the Psions used Okaaran DNA to create the other twenty-three races of Vega such as the Tamaraneans, Euphorixians, Aelloans, Karnans, and the Changralyns.The Omega Men were assembled as a group of renegades and representatives of conquered Vegan worlds to fight Citadelian aggression. Pre-Infinite Crisis the team was based on the planet Kuraq. The Omega Men are important peacekeepers in their sector because the Green Lantern Corps is not allowed into Vegan space, due to a long standing agreement between the Guardians of the Universe and Agent Orange.The Omega Men made a return appearance in the Adam Strange mini-series, Planet Heist. Still led by Tigorr, with veteran members Broot, Doc, Elu, Artin, and Harpis. They were joined by a group of new members whose names were given, but not identified in the book. They were still fighting the Spider Guild. One of their new members, a precog, leads them to wait in a Rannian space station with the ultimate purpose of meeting Adam Strange. The first Doc was killed by a Durlan assassin and impersonated.Omega Men miniseriesIt had been revealed that upon returning to the remains of Tamaran with Ryand'r, the Omegans are attacked by the Darkstar zombies of Lady Styx and all but five of them died.R.E.B.E.L.S.The Omega Men have been seen fleeing L.E.G.I.O.N. robots during a hostile takeover ousting Vril Dox.

Hello I have had three csections and my last was 8 years ago. I am an extremely fit woman with great abds but I have this skin over the scar can I have it removed or fixed. The scar itself is fine but the skin above it bothers me. Thanks
I am quite surprised I may need a mini tummy tuck. My stomach is very flat and I have a six pack so the tuck part is scarey to me. i would love to hear other alternatives to this. I thought i may just have to open the skin and have it pulled again without going into muscle.

Go Team USA!
The U.S. World Cup team has provided a lot of excitement over the past couple of weeks, and if they don't come out of it as winners, they can at least feel good about inspiring a terrific new sports chant. The whole country has been doing the "I believe that we will win" chant, and the best part about it is that it doesn't have to be about sports. Camp Sunshine is a summer camp for kids battling cancer, and they do the chant every day at meal time because they believe that they will win too. This week they recorded the chant and posted it online to inspire Team USA.
Thank you so much for stopping by my page for a visit! For those of you new to WMUS, I'll give you a little bit of insight into who Mark Dixon is. For those of you who have been around for some time, you pretty much know everything about me. My life is pretty much an open book.
I've come by my career in broadcasting honestly, having grown up in Kalamazoo as a son of a radio disc jockey. My father was a DJ at WKZO and was the long time "voice" of TV Channel 3 (WKZO, currently WWMT). Years later, my career in radio began in 1978 in the small town of Ottawa, Ohio. From there I had a short stint in Lima, Ohio. Since 1988 my family has called WMUS and West Michigan home.
My interests are bicycling, deer and turkey hunting, bowling, golf, and computers (I've become quite a geek late in life.). I also enjoyed coaching my son in soccer when he went to Fruitport
You probably know that I'm not shy about bragging and talking about my grandkids, Katelyn and Brendan on the air either!

Beyond Desolation at last
We had a great summer, once again, managing to get away for a solid 7 weeks. On top of that we had a long awaited venture further north than usual, and this time we made it. After a relatively quick dash to Desolation Sound our flotilla left Squirrel Cove to take on the infamous rapids between us and the Broughton Islands.
Following Jack Dale's excellent suggestions the rapids turned out to be largely non events, in fact we dealt with more adverse current in more open areas, however these rapids are not something to trifle with and transiting at or very near slack is always advised.
Heading up towards Bute Inlet, rapids around point on the left.
Day one was getting through the Yucaltas, Gillard, and Dent rapids, which constitutes a 5 NM run through the three of them. Fighting the tail end of the flood, using backeddies in the Yucaltas, we got through Gillard a half hour early and hit the Dents pretty well spot on.
Path from Squirrel Cove to Forward Harbour, with 5 rapids to transit
This took us to Shoal Bay, a rustic resort that has a very popular public dock. One thing we noticed right away was the colder water.. Desolation's 68 -70F immediately gave way to 53-55F, the boat cooled down immediately, esp in mornings. It was often warmer on deck in the early am.
Shoal Bay
From Shoal Bay we moved a short way to the Cardero Island anchorage, a delightful spot where we caught up with the rest of our group before heading through Greene Point and Whirlpool rapids to Forward Harbour – the serious rapids were dealt with.
Cardero Anchorage
Due to forecast afternoon gales (common in summer, and esp good weather) we had a 5 am start to try to catch the ebb and a bit less wind through the unavoidable stretch of Johnstone Strait. This transit, too, was uneventful and the typical morning grey, low cloud predictably cleared and brightened to a sunny late afternoon, a pattern that was nearly a daily event throughout.
Entering Havanna Channel from Johnstone Str.
The day ended at an abandoned resort area on Minstrel Island, once a vibrant social hub of the area. Sadly falling down and overgrown, the docks remain and cruisers make good use of the free moorage. Exploring the tumbledown buildings and surrounding area is a neat way to spend some time, always keeping an eye out for local bears.
After a supply stop at Lagoon Cove, we moved up Tribune Channel to Kwatzi Bay, an almost Princess Louisa-like bay half way through Tribune. Here we anchored at the base of the steep slopes. We visited the nearby marina, which was quite busy and had some very nice crafts and clothing in the floating store.
Clouds clearing in Tribune Channel
Kwatzi Bay.. morning and afternoon..
Serious Barnacles:
Lichen/moss filled trees are common here.. very pretty
Our overall meanderings in the area north of the rapids:
Re: Beyond Desolation at last
Simoom Sound was our next stop, and we stayed an extra day – our only really rainy day. As it was grey and dreary and we were reading below and all morning thought we heard 'whalesong', but the others, sitting in their cockpit enclosures, didn't hear anything. After a while I went on deck for a lookaround and saw hundreds of dophins frenziedly heading to the head of the sound, a half mile of white water in otherwise flat calm. One of our party hopped in the dinghy to investigate and were treated to a spectacular show, the dophins were attempting to escape a pod of a half dozen Orcas. Unfortunately the show of leaping whales and dolphins was out of sight of our anchored raft, but a number of dolphins sought safety in a nearby cove and we got up close and personal with some of these.
Another abandoned resort is Greenway Sound. Again, docks left behind but these, while usable, are deteriorating rather quickly. With a half mile of floats in deep water, one leg is turning into a bit of a pretzel. The resorts' famous 'red carpet' still covers the majority of the floats.
Lake at end of hike at Greenway
Our northernmost point was Turnbull Cove, another small, steep sided cove with great shelter in any weather. The next day was one of the rare early morning clear, sunny dawns.
Down Wells Passage for a night a Dickson Island, known for halibut fishing but not, apparently, for our group. This was followed by a light air grey crossing to the top of Malcolm Island and a visit to Sointula, an old Swedish settlement that has persevered. A visit to Alert Bay (detailed in another thread) preceded a couple of days in Port MacNeil for provisioning and to pick up guests.

Leaving that area we headed to Blackfish Sound where we were treated to the sight of a couple of Humpback whales, including some good tail shows, though never managed to capture one with a camera.
We also stopped at Mamilallacula, and ancient aboriginal village with a huge midden beach and decaying buildings and structures.
Old Pier near village
Former school/hospital
Remains of a Longhouse
Fallen, rotting totem.. can you see the otter??
By now we've grown to a flotilla of 9 and all of us converged on an already busy anchorage at Waddington Bay.
We started heading back south by this time and intended to attend the music festivals in Comox, as is our usual custom. Transiting the rapids in reverse we retraced our path to Desolation and happily jumped in the warm water as full summer returned.
However I have to say we were thrilled with the weather. This part of the coast, like the West Coast of Vancouver Island, is known for extensive fog, cloud cover, rain and drizzle. We did not hit any significant fog and only had one solid day of rain (which even then cleared off by evening) and a morning of drizzle here and there. Nearly every day ended in sunshine, often by noon or early afternoon.
Re: Beyond Desolation at last
Lovely pics and trip Ron. You're tempting me to sail up to the BC coast ..... :)
Re: Beyond Desolation at last
Thanks Mark.. turn left at Trinidad Tobago and right after Panama!! ;)
Re: Beyond Desolation at last
What is the secret to getting away for seven weeks?
Re: Beyond Desolation at last
Great stuff. We saw some of the Broughtons on the AVI in May. We only had two weeks for the whole trip. It was nice and and quiet :). Lacey Falls is great then as it had lots of water, it is a bit disappointing later in the season.
I am glad my advise about the rapids worked.
Re: Beyond Desolation at last
Splendid splendid splendid and welcome back mate.
Naturally enough after seeing those pics I hate you but thats not surprising now is it ? After all I am a bitter and twisted old sod. :p
Couple of questions ....
Why are those resorts closed ? GFC I guess ?
Can I buy one ? Resort not GFC.
Re: Beyond Desolation at last
Awesome Glad you had so much fun. Those are some nice pictures. good think you had so much luck with the weather too. I wonder if I crossed your path somewhere along the way.
Re: Beyond Desolation at last
Great pictures. Thanks for posting
Re: Beyond Desolation at last
Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing. Looks like an amazing place for exploring.

text: Deerfield hit the road this afternoon to take on a talented and aggressive Loomis squad, and came out on the wrong end of a 4-3 overtime loss. The Big Green got on the board less than two minutes into the game, when a harmless looking dump in managed to sneak by the Loomis goaltender. Lucy Lytle '15 got credit for the goal. Though the home team was able to tie the score, Deerfield reclaimed the lead when Kayla O'Connor '14 finished off a beautiful passing sequence from Katherine Jackson '15 and Meghan Halloran '17. Though we headed into the second period up by a goal, Loomis took charge in the next fifteen minutes, maintaining good possession in our defensive zone. Our coverage held strong however, and we were able to force Loomis into taking shots from the outside. Unfortunately, two of these shots eluded goalie Molly Kennedy '16, including one on the power play, and Deerfield headed into the final frame down 3-2. The period began with a parade to the penalty box for the visitors, but Devinne Cullinane '14 and Kylie Davis '14 both made huge plays in killing off a two player disadvantage. With six minutes to go in the game, Deerfield earned their own power play, and Maryanne Iodice '14 wasted no time in blasting the equalizer past the Loomis keeper. Jackson and Katherine Goguen '16 earned assists on the play. In overtime, Loomis took advantage of an early defensive breakdown, as we left a forward wide open in the slot, and she quickly fired the winning goal over the shoulder of Kennedy, who stopped 24 shots on the afternoon. Deerfield had 18 shots on the Loomis goal. We will get back to work tomorrow in preparation for the defending New England champions from Nobles on Friday night. Many thanks to the Greenbaums and Nottebohms for the snacks after the game!

Why Twitter Wants to Be Your TV RemoteBy
Twitter has been hard at work selling the idea that people's sarcastic remarks about the shows they're watching could be a boon to the networks airing those shows. To further hammer that home, the company just announced a deal with Comcast and NBCUniversal in which tweets will include a button that will let people switch the channel straight from their timelines.
Comcast apparently found it frustrating that people could troll through an endless progression of tweets about The Voice without actually be watching the show. "What's missing is how to seamlessly move from that conversation to consumption" said Sam Schwartz, the company's chief business development officer, in a blog post.
No longer. Now company can prompt viewers to log into a Comcast Xfinity account directly from Voice-related tweets. From there, they can change the channel on the television or record the show with a Comcast DVR. Viewers can also decide to start watching directly on the mobile device they're using to access Twitter. People who aren't Comcast subscribers will be redirected to the NBC website.
This is hardly a universal remote. It works only for Comcast customers, and then only for television shows chosen for integration. The feature will initially include shows Sunday Night Football and The Michael J. Fox Show, as well as The Voice. It will begin showing up in tweets in next month.
Comcast isn't paying Twitter for the rights to do this. But the cable company will likely be more interested in paying for promoted tweets once it can offer potential viewers a direct path from Twitter to a TV show.
Twitter already brags that tweets drive up television ratings. A Nielsen study in August showed that the volume of tweets leads to noticeably higher television ratings 29 percent of the time. Higher television ratings, sensibly enough, also lead to more activity on Twitter.
In the hard-fought competition with Facebook over becoming the social network preferred by people whiling away evenings on the couch, however, serving as a social remote control capability into the mix can't hurt.

One Reason Atheism Doesn't Really Answer Anything

Last Thursday, Adreian Payne had a 41-point game in Michigan State's opening-round win against Delaware. Last Saturday, Branden Dawson had a 26-point game as the Spartans's edged Harvard.
On Friday night, it took both Payne and Dawson for Michigan State to take down No. 1 seed Virginia 61-59 and advance to the Elite.
"They were ridiculous," sophomore Matt Costello said. "They won the game for us. Hands down.
"Their big couldn't mess with our bigs and we showed it and we got the W."
Dawson had 24 points and 10 rebounds, while Payne had 16 – including a huge tiebreaking 3-pointer late.
As the Spartans struggled at times against a physical and tough Virginia defense, it was the pair of Payne and Dawson that kept proving to the be the difference.
"They're big time players and they're supposed to make big time plays in big time games," sophomore Denzel Valentine said.
They did just that.
Payne had seven of the Spartans' first 10 points. Dawson had 11 of the final 16 points in the first-half – a stretch that featured a field-goal drought of 6:27 and Virginia went on a 12-0 run.
With another stretch of almost seven minutes without a field goal to open the second half and Virginia on a 9-1, it was a powerful dunk from Dawson that got the Spartans back on the board and pulled it back to a 36-34 game.
Dawson and Payne then teamed up to help fuel a 7-0 run to give the Spartans the lead back.
"It was important and I think we never lost our poise when they went on that run," Dawson said. "We talked about teams going on a run and we just never let up."
The shot that gave MSU the lead came from a backcourt that struggled against the Cavaliers, but junior Travis Trice knocked down a 3-pointer that made it a 43-40 game.
"For me personally, I'm just grateful for the opportunity and to knock it down," he said. "That speaks to how good of a team they are, that's the only transition bucket we get."
The run became a 13-2 burst when Payne threw down a huge dunk, Keith Appling got his lone basket of the game and Dawson finished a nifty reverse layup on a pass from Valentine.
But the Cavaliers were hardly done. A 7-0 run of their own was capped by guard Justin Anderson's first basket of the game, a game-tying 3-pointer with 1:49 to go.
Then with 1:29 left, Payne knocked down his second 3 of the game.
"It was a read," he said. "Keith read it well and threw it back to me and I just stepped up and made it."
The duo came right back to team up for what probably is the first alley-oop from Payne to Dawson.
"It's something we've worked on but it was the first time we did in a game," Payne said. "I just thank God B.J. was right there to catch it and finish it."
Free throws sealed the two-point win and the first Elite 8 appearance for Tom Izzo since 2010.
"It's a big hump," Izzo said. "We get to play again. There's nothing like getting to work the second game of the weekend when you get into the NCAA Tournament.
"It's the greatest thing I do. I'm just excited about it."
And it was thanks to a pair of players who carried their team at Madison Square Garden.
"They just imposed their will," Costello said. "They're that good of players. They're NBA players, both of them.
"When you have NBA players playing on a college floor, it shows."

(NY Daily News) – Gwyneth Paltrow's husband Chris Martin is known for his smooth vocals and mellow tunes, but her personal summer playlist turns out to be a bit more eclectic.
The quirky actress, who performed a rousing rendition of "Forget You" with Cee Lo Green at last year's Grammy Awards, posted her selection of Summer Jams to pal Jay-Z's site Life + Times, with a few unexpected choices.
Among her picks were San Diego rock band Pinback's "Loro," hip hop artist Kendrick Lamar's "The Recipe" and indie band Neon Indian's "Halogen."
Frank Ocean's "Thinkin About You" also made her list, as did Hot Chip's "Motion Sickness."
"I could listen to the chorus of this song on a loop for an eternity," she said of Ocean's honest track. "I think this album might be a masterpiece."
But it's French Montana's "Pop That," featuring verses by Drake, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross, that really helps Paltrow, 39, get into a good summer groove.
"Rick Ross puts me in a good mood," she said by way of explanation. "He just does."

Target: Plamen Oresharski, Prime Minister of Bulgaria
Goal: Urge the Bulgarian government to expedite its handling of refugees' asylum requests so that they can be released from detention
Syrian refugees that have fled their war-torn country and arrived in Bulgaria through the Turkish border are stuck for months in crowded refugee shelters while waiting for their asylum requests to be granted. Only once they have legal status can they lead a normal life with a right to freedom of movement, employment, and a private residence. The living conditions in the five Bulgarian refugee shelters are abysmal. There are as many as fourteen people to a room. As they are not allowed to leave the premises, they are permanently confined to this crowded environment where even bathroom use is complicated.
As it takes up to six months to process requests for asylum, many refugees, frustrated by having to wait so long for their detention to end, have gone on a hunger strike. Thirty-two of them are starving at the Lyubimets center for the temporary accommodation of foreigners to protest the slow handling of their applications for asylum. At the Busmantsi detention facility, fifty refugees are likewise refusing food but with a different demand in mind — the right to leave their quarters and move around freely in the vicinity.
On average, only 10% of the refugees are granted legal status in Bulgaria; the rest must resubmit their applications either in Bulgaria or in another European country. Since it is cruel to leave people lingering in overcrowded detention centers without freedom of movement for months at a time, the Bulgarian government should speed up the application process so that the refugees can regain their freedom as soon as possible. That way they will have the chance to leave the country and petition for asylum elsewhere if they are not granted legal status in Bulgaria.
The Syrian refugees deserve better living conditions and the right to go about as they wish without being confined like prisoners. Sign this petition to urge the Bulgarian government to expedite the handling of refugee applications so that they can be released from the detention camps.
Dear Plamen Oresharski, Prime Minister of Bulgaria
Please process the asylum applications of Syrian refugees more quickly so that they don't have to be stuck in detention centers. It is sad to see a population that had fled its country to escape war suffer yet again in Bulgaria because the living conditions of the refugee centers are so poor. There's no freedom of movement; these men, women, and children must stay within their crowded rooms housing up to 14 people at all times and cannot circulate freely on the streets nearby, never mind travel around within the country.
It is quite ironic for these Syrians to have escaped a war zone that kept them locked up in their homes out of fear of encountering violence on the streets only to be cooped up once again in a narrow space without the possibility of leaving it. It is cruel to detain the refugees for months in an overcrowded facility where they are left in the dark about whether or not they will be granted asylum and allowed to legally stay in the country. They deserve decent housing and the freedom of movement. To allow them to live in freedom and dignity, we urge you to process their applications for asylum as soon as possible.

Pete Curie has made sure the Orrville boys basketball team knew what the right score was for 35 years, putting more points into the scorebook than anyone in school history. Around 100,000 by a conservative estimate.
All good things must come to an end, though, and Curie informed Orrville athletic director Kent Smith prior to this winter that it would be his last keeping the books for the Riders.
"I'll be 70 in May and I thought it was time for someone younger to get involved," Curie said. "Maybe they can get a good 15 years or so out of someone else."
Maybe, but Kent Smith knows it's not likely. Orrville will recognize Curie for his unprecedented contributions at the school during its last home game of the season against Wadsworth on Wednesday, which has been designated as "Pete Curie Night."
Despite never playing a minute of organized athletics in high school -- "My parents didn't want me to wind up limping when I was older because of a sports injury, so they told me to join the band," Curie said -- he went on to leave an impact like no other on athletics at his alma mater.
The retired Rubbermaid engineer and former Orrville city councilman has worked with six different head coaches. He enjoyed his greatest moments over the past 25 seasons scoring for Steve Smith's teams, which won three state championships.
"I'm not ancient, but Pete was the scorekeeper when I played," said Kent Smith, who will help recognize Curie for his dedication prior to the 7:30 p.m. tipoff against the Grizzlies. "He loves Orrville and loves Red Rider sports.
"It's just amazing to think about how many games he's done in 35 years."
Curie took a moment recently to attempt to calculate just how many games, and points, he's witnessed. The results were staggering.
Curie's first season keeping the basketball book was in the 1963-64 season and he's done it every season since, minus three when his Rubbermaid duties forced him to move temporarily from the area.
"I've missed a few games here or there other than that, but not too many," said Curie, who has also been chosen as the official scorekeeper at the state tournament.
Orrville has played 857 games counting tournament appearances since Curie's debut, going 594-263. Smith accounted for the bulk of those wins with a 451-119 mark entering the season, including state titles in 1992, '95 and '96.
Curie estimates he pushed his pencil at about 775 of those games, If one figured the average combined points for each contest between the Riders and opponents was 130, that puts Curie into a rare 100,000-point club for scorekeepers.
"Wow, that's a lot of points," Curie said, upon reviewing the results of the basketball equation.
Help wanted
Although Curie's parents didn't want him to play sports, that didn't stop him from enjoying them as a spectator. Already known as an avid follower of the Riders as a young man, Curie's legendary career as a statistician began innocently when he said "Yes" when asked to do a favor by a friend.
"I started as a football scorekeeper when Bill Shunkwiler was coach in 1962 and I did that until 1982," said Curie, who has been married since 1954 to Jane, who has attended many of the Rider games with him. "A former classmate of mine, Jay Lacy, was an assistant to Shunkwiler and they needed a statistician.
"(Lacy) came to me and said, 'You go to all the games, why don't you keep score?' I said I didn't have a clue as to what they wanted, but they were willing to show me."
Shunkwiler also coached basketball. Knowing a good volunteer when he saw one, he asked Curie to keep the basketball books as well.
"I said again, 'I don't know how to do it,'" Curie said, "but he was willing to show me again what he wanted."
Apparently Shunkwiler and the Rider coaches who would follow liked Curie's work as he stayed on for more nearly four decades.
Free ticket
Asked why he would give up so much time to help out a program, Curie joked at first.
"I get into games for free and I get a good seat," he said.
Of course, there's more to it than that.
"I've seen an awfully lot of good kids play basketball and worked with a lot of good people over the years," Curie added, as his voice became more serious. "I've been able to watch many of the kids grow into good, solid adults as well. In fact, I've had about a half-dozen or more father-and-son combinations who I kept score for, like Paul and Tom Reusser, Darrell and D.K. McDonald."
Despite all his years of service, Curie said even some friends don't realize exactly what he does at games.
"They ask, 'Do you run the clock, or put the score up?'" Curie said. "They don't realize that an official score book is kept."
Curie said to be a good scorekeeper one must be dependable, conduct themselves in a professional manner, keep up with rule changes and, above all, be accurate.
"I tried to do all those things," Curie said.
Curie plays on
Steve Smith, who has been forced to the sideline this winter as he undergoes treatment for throat cancer, said Curie has been much more than just a scorekeeper.
"He has been a great scorekeeper and a dear friend as well," said Smith in a phone interview last week. "His loyalty to Orrville athletics is unparalleled. He really cares about kids. They call him the 'Candy Man' because he's always giving them candy. He's just a great guy."
Curie and Smith struck up a friendship almost immediately when the coach came to Orrville in 1977. Since then Curie has been amazed at Smith's success as he averaged an 18-5 season through the end of the 1990s.
"We found we had something in common because both of us had been in the Navy," Curie said. "I served in the Korean War and Smitty was in Vietnam. From there our friendship grew. He has been a great coach and friend."
Smith is not expected to attend Wednesday's game due to the effects of his treatments.
Originally, Curie hoped he and Smith could jointly announce their retirements and go out together.
"I know Smitty doesn't want to end after a season like this," Curie said. "He'll do everything he can to beat the cancer and coach again."
As for Curie, he'll continue to stay busy as a trombone player in two local bands. He is also president of the Orrville Historical Museum, a fitting job for someone who has been a part of so many important community moments.

Britney Spears Chills in Sherman Oaks
Posted Monday April 21, 2008 3:12 PM GMT
Taking some time away from her intense workout and recording schedule, Britney Spears was spotted running some errands in Sherman Oaks, California yesterday.
The "Piece of Me" singer looked relatively normal in a white scoopneck short-sleeved shirt, a pair of relaxed fit blue jeans, and a pair of high-heeled brown leather boots.
And the industry is abuzz with the news that the "Toxic" mommy will be revisiting her hit role as a flirty secretary on CBS's "How I Met Your Mother."
A source from the show told press, "The show is ecstatic and so is Britney. She had so much fun the first time around she really wanted to come back."

Enjoy the pictures of Brit out running errands in Sherman Oaks (April 20).

RESULTS: Should the Smoking Age Be Raised to 21?
The bipartisan bill is sponsored by state Representatives Beth McCann (D-Denver) and Cheri Gerou (R-Evergreen). In the Senate chamber, state Senators Steve King (R-Grand Junction) and John Kefalas (D-Fort Collins) are sponsoring the bill. The bill is intended to delay tobacco's introduction. Radke cites a study show that 95% of tobacco users start before age 21.
POLL RESULTS: Should the age when adults can purchase tobacco in Colorado be raised to 21?
We asked "What is your take on the issue?" Should the state legislature raise the age that adults can purchase tobacco to 21? Or should the government just "butt out" and work on things that really matter?
Our listeners made it VERY clear that they do not support raising the tobacco purchasing age to 21. There was not a single vote supporting the proposed law.

At this time, we do not know how to prevent glaucoma. However, studies have shown that the early detection and treatment of glaucoma, before it causes major vision loss, is the best way to control the disease. So, if you fall into one of the higher risk groups for the disease, make sure to have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once every one to two years.

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 28 (Reuters) The Islamic Development Bank, based in Saudi Arabia, has announced it will raise at least 10 billion dollars over 10 years to combat extreme poverty in Africa and elsewhere among developing nations.
Amadou Boubacar Cisse of Niger, vice president of operations for the bank, told a news conference the new Poverty Alleviation Fund was in addition to some 3 billion dollars currently spent on projects for basic social services in needy countries among its 56 bank members.
The aim is to help meet the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), proposed by Secretary-General Kofi Annan and approved by world leaders in 2000. They include cutting extreme poverty by half, ensuring universal primary education, and stemming the AIDS pandemic, all by 2015, among others.
But Cisse said not all members, such as Gabon or Cameroon, had a majority Muslim population and the bank's projects would not impose Islamic strictures on such targets as girls' education.
''The girls in the Muslim (areas) are more backward, the ratio is the lowest'' for education, Cisse said. ''But it is for our member countries to decide.'' He said Saudi Arabia had pledged 1 billion dollars and Kuwait 300 million dollars to launch the fund, which is expected to start operations in mid-2007. The bank currently has provided financing for projects in Senegal, Niger, Mali and Uganda, among others, Cisse said.
The bank's announcement coincided with an all-day conference among governments, business leaders, foundation heads and advocacy groups, organised by UN General Assembly President Haya Rashed al Khalifa of Bahrain to take stock of the Millennium Development Goals.
Kemal Dervis, head of the UN Development Program, said no region was on track to meet all seven of the goals by 2015.
North Africa, he said, was likely to achieve most of the goals -- except for the promotion of women's rights and improving maternal health. Eastern Asia, he said, was on track but not for goals on universal education, reducing child mortality or combating contagious diseases.
Latin America, and the former Soviet republics, Dervis said, were likely to meet almost all of the goals. But sub-Saharan Africa, southern and western Asia would achieve few of them.
Dervis told the General Assembly that while the world has experienced rapid economic growth, the gap between the 10 richest countries and the 10 poorest accelerated to a 50 to 1 ratio in 2005.
''Income distribution affects the effectiveness of growth in being able to lift people out of poverty,'' Dervis said.

Modifying existing duct work
Hello all - I've managed to mangle a drawing together of my existing duct work along with approximate lengths of each run from the plenum to it's respective outlet. The redzone indicates the area that I will be framing and finishing. There are two long duct runs that are in the way currently. All runs are 7" except for the one 10" that is split out way down the line to service to 7" outlets. The two rear duct runs (bottom) go to the garage, which is uninsulated currently. I'm planning to remove these runs from service and use at least one for the red area. Another thing that bothers me about this setup is they have the return about 1' from the blower which makes for blower noise as well as noise from turbulence. There is a couple of feet that I could move this unit backwards if that would help alleviate some noise. The return is a high placement, which in the living room which really aggrevates me when you are trying to watch television.
There are 4 ducts run in between the floor joists for the 2nd floor. The remaining ducts are open and lay on top the insulation.
It really would be convienent that instead of homerunning all those ducts to the plenum if there was a way to craft two main supply trunks, one that would service the 4 joist ducts and another to service the other northbound runs.
One thing to note is that the one 10" duct that runs in the floor joists actually comes back out in open area where the Y-duct is. So it would be possible to not have to use the Joist for that run to begin with.
The A/C work that I'm looking at re-doing was pretty shoddy. The coil/plenum isn't completely sealed and there are numerous other leaks going on around the edges. The duct work seems excessively long to me as well as a ton of static pressure from the bends and kinks.
I'm not too sure if this A/C shouldn't have been located in a better place? Perhaps when they built the house (I'm 2nd owner) it was located there for convience.
Any ideas?
I just want to comment on your drawing... it is so great... although a bit scarely like those monstor robot which has a bunch of arms to kill people... and the red zone is like someone trying to aim at shooting off two of his arms using some night version device....
Why Don't you just put in a smaller furnace for the second floor. You can put them right next to each other same gas line, electricial. Lower Btu can be use for simple fact you will loose about 25% of heat do to it rising up stairs.
Without seeing the actual system and knowing what kinds of ducts you have (hard metal or flexible, etc.), it is hard to say exactly what you should do. Static pressure drop and airflow (in cubic feet per minute, or CFM) is all related to this. You would need to do a heat loss calculation on your home as well (including wall insulation info, windows, doors, direction the rooms face, where you live, etc., etc.) to determine how much air you need in a room.... or, you could "dumb it down" and just approximate how many CFM per square foot you need in certain rooms (depending on room usage and wall direction, whether you had big windows, etc.). Residential usage is typically anywhere from 0.4 to 1.0 CFM/sqft.
All that being said, from your sketch (well done, BTW), some basic ideas:
-Make sure that if you change around your ducting, you keep about the same cross-sectional area within the ducts... i.e., if you want to combine two 7" round ducts to be one main duct, those are each about 38.5 sq. in. of area, so two would be about that would come out to be about 77 sq. in., which is approx. a 10" round, or, say, a 10x8 rectangular).
-Make sure, if you have flexible duct, to straighten out any kinks and make any turns as long and smooth as possible.
-Obviously, if you can seal any leaks, that is good too.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/3/2014 (1197 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brandon City Council has thrown its support behind the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.
This week, council passed a motion to send a letter to Lisa Raitt, the federal minister responsible for Canada Post, to say that Brandon wants to maintain the system of residential door-to-door delivery, and requests the government consult with Canadians about what kind of postal service they need.
The motion, brought forward by Mayor Shari Decter Hirst, states going from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes would be "especially hard on seniors and people with disabilities."
Last December, Canada Post announced it will be ending door-to-door delivery in urban areas and hiking the cost of stamps.
The change will be rolled out over the next five years, which will also mean scaling down its labour force by 6,000 to 8,000 people.
The change would entail the "downloading of responsibilities, costs and liabilities to local governments," such as paving, lighting, snow removal, and policies related to vandalism, graffiti and mail theft, according to the city's resolution.
"At a recent FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipalities) event I talked to the mayor of Surrey, who has had a great deal of issues around vandalism and mail theft," Decter Hirst said. "You can imagine, when those big community mailboxes are open, everyone in that mailbox's mail is subject to potential theft. It's a target for graffiti — our police have got better things to do than start patrolling community mailboxes."
There's also the issue of snow clearing around community mailboxes. Decter Hirst wondered if that task would become the city's responsibility.
The decision comes two weeks after Local 708 president John van Hoek, and chief shop steward Leanne Stanick, made a presentation to council on the subject.
The union is urging municipalities across the country to send letters to Raitt, and would like to see Canada Post look at re-establishing postal banking as an alternative way to save the system.
The only councillor to vote against the motion was Jeff Fawcett (Assiniboine). He said Canada Post is a federal issue and didn't believe the topic needed to be at the council table.
"The Federation of Canadian Municipalities is dealing with it, so is it kind of redundant?" he said. "They represent us as a lobby group."
Fawcett also pointed out that most of the Brandon residents living on the North Hill already have community mailboxes, including the Oak Bluff area, trailer courts and Monterey Estates senior homes.
"The only place on the North Hill without them is where I live which is … the older part," he said. "So the change on the North Hill would be that little section."
Fawcett said times change, and people have to adapt even if it does seem inconvenient.
"It's an industry that's changing," he said. "It's a little bit like going to buy a CD at a CD store in Brandon."

Une Nouvelle Amie (The New Girlfriend)
Directed by François Ozon
Claire (Anaïs Demoustier) is shattered when her closest friend since childhood, Laura, dies leaving behind her grieving husband David (Romain Duris) and their new baby. When Claire drops by David's house unexpectedly one day, she finds a strange, blonde woman there, who turns out to be David dressed in his dead wife's clothes! At first Claire is horrified, but when David explains that his wife was aware of his desire to sometimes dress as a woman, she becomes more understanding. She and David begin to go on outings together, with him dressed as his female persona, "Virginia", and Claire tells her husband that she is spending time with an old friend from school. But as David begins to identify more strongly with Virginia, Claire begins to feel confused and conflicted, and her relationship with "Virginia" causes tension between her and her husband.
I really enjoy Roman Duris' acting, but he's not the most effeminate man, and it is testament to his skill as an actor that he manages to make David/Virginia a believable character. The film has some interesting things to say about desire and gender, and the character of David is handled in a respectful way.
La Belle et La Bête (Beauty and the Beast)
Directed by Christophe Gans
A very straight re-telling of the classic fairytale. I really wanted to see this because Léa Seydoux (Beauty) is so gorgeous, and I'm a sucker for anything with really lovely costumes.
This was a little over-the-top even for me - it was almost like twee on a grand scale. The costumes were extremely detailed and theatrical, but at the same time a bit too fussy and fiddly. The scenery was so romantic that it started tipping over into slightly sickly territory, and because the story was very traditional the whole thing got a bit boring.
I mean, this dress was quite amazing, but I just wanted to tell her to look in the mirror and take a few of the accessories off, You don't really need a matching earrings, necklace and tiara set with a dress like that.
Aesthetically the whole film reminded me of one of those New Age crystal shops full of fairies and whimsical romantic stuff. I expected a unicorn to come prancing through at any moment. I like my fairytales with a darker edge and this was just too much like fairy floss.
Directed by Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache
Samba (Omar Sy) is a Senegalese dishwasher who has been living in France for ten years. After being arrested as an illegal immigrant, he meets Alice (Charlotte Gainsbourg), his caseworker, who is volunteering at the centre while on stress leave after a breakdown at work. The pair make an unlikely couple, and their hesitant romance is thrown into trouble when Samba's past actions start to catch up with him.
There are some fantastically funny bits in the film, especially from Samba's friend Wilson (Tahar Rahim), a fellow immigrant who has a way with the ladies. There are also some really heartbreaking moments, and although some reviewers have criticised the film for making light of the very real problem of illegal immigrants living without rights in France, I found that the humour allowed the characters to develop more three-dimensionally and to be seen as real people with flaws and desires. Sy is brilliant as both a comic and a dramatic actor, and Gainsbourg excels in portraying a woman tormented by shyness and anxiety.
Le Temps Suspendu (Handmade with Love in France)
Directed by Julie Georgia Bernard
If you are interested in artisans and handcrafts like I am, you will be fascinated by this documentary. It looks at several small ateliers in Paris which still produce exquisite handmade items for France's top fashion houses. There's M. Lognon, who pleats fabric in the most complicated designs, and who does all of Hermes' finely pleated silk scarves; M. Legeron who runs the silk flower workshop his grandfather established, and who still has boxes of flowers that his grandfather made; and M. Ré, who carves amazing hatblocks out of wood.
The French title of the film (Suspended Time) hints at the idea that these artisans are living almost in an earlier era, where craftsmanship was prized and clients respected the time it took to make things. These days it is getting harder and harder to run an independent workshop - fashion is speeding up, there are more collections per year, and the turnaround time on orders is reaching a level where it is becoming almost impossible to create a quality product in the time given. Many workshops are being sold to conglomerates owned by the fashion houses, and moved out of their quaint Parisienne ateliers and into large modern workshops in the suburbs. It's a bittersweet look at something that probably won't exist in twenty years.

On popular itineraries like Caribbean and Mediterranean, guests can experience the excitement of a new city at every port. River Cruises, the latest in luxe travel offer slow and sumptuous sailings down European rivers; there are even some specializing in German Christmas Markets.
There's a perfect ship for every traveler – from intimate, luxe ships that carry 300 passengers or less and stop in smaller, more exotic ports (i.e. Windstar, Silversea, Uniworld) -- to mega-ships that have more than 3,000 guests onboard (i.e. Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, Celebrity) and hit popular tourist ports.
