Library offers robot soccer camp for spring break
By Emily Hill, firstname.lastname@example.com, @eh_scnnews on Twitter
During the week of spring break, students will have the opportunity to get off the couch and into the local library to combine robots and soccer.
Starting last Saturday, the Little Elm Public Library opened registration for Robot Soccer Camp, a program that allows teams of children from ages 8-18 to build robots and pit them against each other on an artificial field.
Space is limited in the free program, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
The program will last from 2-5:30 p.m. March 11 through March 16, except for Friday when the library is closed. Students who have signed up can meet as a team or individually to work on their robots during that time. Parents must remain at the library with children 13 years and under.
The robot soccer tournament will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 16, at the library on a small artificial soccer field. Prizes will be given out to tournament winners.
Each team will have eight members and at least one adult coach to offer guidance from start to finish. Parents can volunteer or the library will provide a volunteer coach for teams who need one. The library anticipates having six teams that will each create two robots, remote controls and team paraphernalia such as a mascot, team colors, uniform designs, game strategy and team fight song.
"The only limits are the imaginations of the team members," Gaillard said in the release.
The library will draft individual students into teams if need be. Materials, work space and storage for the robots will be provided by the library during the camp.
The library is not new to technology programs. Every other week, it offers the Circuits Circus program.
"We have a circuitry program that has been going on for several years," Gaillard said. "This is kind of thing that we can do to extend it. It takes the circuitry side of building things, but goes farther with it."
Students can register for the camp at the library, located on the first floor of Town Hall, 100 West Eldorado Parkway.
"We hope to definitely have more robotic things in the future," Gaillard said.
For information on the library, visit www.littleelmlibrary.org.

Pakistan's deputy attorney general works off Taliban's sins at gurdwaras and shrines
By Rakhi Chakrabarty
A man in a maroon kurta sits hunched on the floor on Sunday afternoon,polishing the shoes of devotees at a room in Delhi's Gurdwara Rakabganj.
It's a common sight in gurdwaras, except that this man is Pakistan's deputy attorney general, Muhammad Khurshid Khan, who had requested he be allowed to perform seva (community service) at the shrine.
Khan, 62, is an eminent lawyer and a devout Muslim from Pakistan's Peshawar province. He was recently in Delhi for a judicial conference. "I have been very keen to visit various places of worship here to promote harmony between India and Pakistan," says Khan.
Khan's tryst with temples and gurdwaras began in 2010 to "heal the wounds of minorities in Pakistan by becoming their sevadar (performer of service)".
For him, it was a "penance" for crimes committed by the Taliban.
In February that year, the Taliban had kidnapped three Sikhs from Peshawar and demanded a $235,000 ransom. Pakistan army rescued two of them, but the third, Jaspal Singh, was beheaded by the captors. It was after the killing, that Khan first performed service at a gurdwara in Peshawar.
"I seek harmony among all religions," says Khan, citing Pakistan's pluralistic heritage.
"I am a Muslim, not a terrorist; I am a Khan, not a terrorist; I am from Pakistan, but not a terrorist." This is Pakistani deputy attorney general Muhammad Khurshid Khan's humble submission as he visits gurdwaras across New Delhi and performs seva (community service).
The Taliban, he says, has plundered Pakistan's pluralistic heritage. "But I want to tell the world it's unfair to tarnish a whole community for the sins of a few," says the Pakhtoon who ran for Pakistan's National Assembly twice.
In Delhi for a conference (along with some 200 members of the Supreme Court Bar Association of Pakistan), Khan, accompanied by Surinder Singh, a Delhi-based businessman whose father was a comrade of Subhas Chandra Bose, polished shoes at Gurdwara Sisganj and visited Birla Temple and Hanuman Mandir.
Khan told TOI that he turned to other faiths after the Taliban beheaded Jaspal Singh in Peshawar in February 2010. "When I visited the house of Jaspal, I was filled with remorse." The killing weighed on his conscience.
He was perturbed that violence in the name of Islam brought a bad name not only to Muslims and Pakistan but also to his people, the Pakhtoons.
The next day, he went to Gurdwara Bhai Joga Singh in Peshawar and sat on the steps. He could hear the chants wafting out of the shrine. "I felt peace," he says.The lawyer started reading about Guru Nanak and approached a member of the gurdwara management committee to allow him the opportunity for seva. After discussions, the gurdwara management committee allowed to perform seva.
"For two months, I went to the gurdwara daily before the maghrib azaan (call to prayer at sunset) and polished shoes of devotees. Sevadari is ibaadat (worship)," he says.In Delhi, Khan also went to Jantar Mantar in the hope of meeting Anna. He sent his visiting card and waited for close to an hour but could not meet Anna. But he left the place "charmed". "It is amazing. This is democracy," he said.
On his way back to Pakistan, he will visit the Golden Temple at Amritsar for the 'Jora Ghar Seva (polishing shoes of devotees). He had written to PM Manmohan Singh last year to allow him a chance to perform seva at Amritsar.
"I am yet to get a reply," he said.He has performed similar service at Hindu temples and joins church prayers every Sunday in Pakistan. "I live in a rigid society. But the ulema have never criticised me. The Hadees says anything good must be spread all around," said Khan.
His gesture has been appreciated by Muslims and as well as religious minorities in Pakistan.

A Haverhill man is in jail on suspicion of raping a 15-year-old girl.
The Scioto County Sheriff's Office was called to Southern Ohio Medical Center on Tuesday where the girl, whose identity was not released, reported being sexually assaulted.
According to a press release from Sheriff Marty V. Donini, detectives said the girl met Gene R. Zimmerman, 37, in an Internet chat room, where he led her to believe he would take her to a friend's house in Ashland, Ky. Deputies said the alleged victim only knew Zimmerman by his screen name, Bubbles. The victim reported she was taken to an apartment in Haverhill, where she was sexually assaulted.
The girl was treated at SOMC and then sent to Adena Medical Center in Chillicothe.
Zimmerman has been charged with one count of rape, a first-degree felony. Donini said deputies are continuing the investigation and more charges could be presented to a Scioto County grand jury. Zimmerman is being held in the Scioto County jail on a $50,000 bond and will appear Monday in Portsmouth Municipal Court.
Anyone with any information concerning this case is asked to call Detective Jodi Conkel at 740-351-1091. All calls will remain anonymous.
Josh Richardson may be reached at 740-353-3101, ext. 244, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Meanwhile, Americans Bob and Mike Bryan won a record 13th men's grand slam doubles title on Saturday, thrashing Dutchmen Robin Haase and Igor Sijsling in Melbourne.
The twin brothers moved past the 12 won by the Australian pair John Newcombe and Tony Roche in the 1960s and 1970s as they triumphed 6-3 6-4 in less than an hour.
The 34-year-olds, who won the Olympic title last year, have now played in 23 grand slam finals.

The above is to illustrate that I've listened to a lot of baseball on the radio over the last 30+ years and I can tell you that I think Scott & Larry are one of the premiere duos on the radio today. It's clear they get along with one another; they converse about the game and include me, the listener, while they do so. There are plenty of facts and statistics to illustrate what's happening on the field without becoming dry or overblown. They don't take themselves or the game so seriously that they can't have fun while they're working. There are always a few laugh-out-loud moments when those two get going. Sure, they root for the Phillies, but they don't minimize the accomplishments of the other teams. Larry will rant and rave about the umpires and Scott will be the voice of reason. Scott does the play-by-play and Larry's color commentary is complementary to whatever Scott is saying.
They LISTEN to one another (unlike John Sterling who often ignores whatever Susie is saying). Scott's home run calls (That ball is GONE!) are exciting, yet the call doesn't become bigger than the home run (I'm looking at you again, Mr. Sterling). That's pretty much all I have to say about Scott & Larry. I do have to tell you I miss Ron Santo of the Cubs. His histrionics over Cubs' flubs and losses were always entertaining. RIP.

If finding a small car that can comfortably fit four adults for around $16,000 seems like a pipe dream, its time to wake up. The Honda Fit not only qualifies, it also gets around 35 mpg on the highway
While its fuel economy figures are not bad, they pale compared to the 40-mpg numbers posted by cars like the Kia Rio5, Ford Fiesta and Chevy Sonic. Also, the sedan versions of those cars cost less tha
If you're expecting the 2013 Honda Fit to handle like a miniature Civic Si, think again. However, we admit we were surprised how much fun this car is, especially considering its subcompact status. We like the Fit's precise steering and its ability to keep its poise during hard cornering. The feeling gets even better when behind the Sport trim's steering wheel, which features paddle shifters on models equipped with the automatic transmission. The Honda Fit Sport is equipped with larger wheels and more aggressive tires, as well as a t

Review this carBy daisymay (WA) on Monday, April 22, 2013
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 7,000
overall rating 9 of 10rating detailsPros: "better than expected MPG"
Cons: "Don't care for power windows, door locks, USB, etc"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"Bought mine new for $17,000 or so with tax and license, 5 speed manual. I've had it for 1 1/2 years and only have 7000 miles on it, use it mainly for city/country driving. Getting 38-40 MPG, was more like 34-36 at first. You can "Fit" a lot into it with the rear seats down. Very happy with my purchase! If I had to find a complaint it would be it's a little noisy from inside...and of course there's not much power there, but seems to take the mountain passes OK. Freeway driving MPG drops to around 35."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 8,000
overall rating 9 of 10rating detailsPros: "Fun to drive but I like sticks"
Cons: "Plenty of cup holders."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I only have had it for six months, but I really enjoy it. There are only two things questionable about it and that is the slight hesitancy in third gear, which doesn't seem to add up to much, and the fact that it's too low on the front bumper. I have the manual base model, and I would advise that nobody buy the sport model, since the bumper is even lower. Mine scrapes so I can't imagine how badly the sport scrapes when going in and out of steep driveways, or even not so steep driveways. But this is not unusual for newer cars. All of my friends with minivans report the same thing, this scraping, and let's face it; we see it everywhere on the driveways, those markings. Great car. Totally understandable why US News says greatest small economy car. I only have 8,000 miles on my 2013, but expect it to go many many more. AC great, and radio very good too. Storage is incredible. The things I can fit in the Fit :)..."

New Yorkers Give Wisconsin's Cigarette Tax The Bronx Cheer
Cigarettes have been in our news a lot since the New Year. Last week Wisconsin's new cigarette tax was implemented, and smokers are now sending one dollar per pack in additional tax to Madison. Now there is talk of a legislative ban on smoking in all public places.
Mick Jagger was once a student at the London School of Economics, and is renowned in the music industry for his business acumen. In 1971 he made tax "exiles" of the Rolling Stones by moving the band permanently out of England. They settled in New York City, and in 1978, released the album Some Girls, which, fueled by hit after smash hit, went multi-platinum. One of those hits, When the Whip Comes Down, is a tough and gritty anthem about some of the darker sides of the city's sub-culture. I saw a bit of that sub-culture on a trip there last September.
The United States Congress
Let's see now...............
An organziation that exempts itself from the very Social Security System that it has bankrupted, and cannot even protect the college age youth in its employ from the improper sexual advances of its own members, is now turning its all-correcting eye to the task of cleaning up Major League Baseball.
Have A Ball With The Elmbrook Education Foundation
The Elmbrook Education Foundation is sponsoring its annual fund raising "Have a Ball" party on Saturday February 23, from 7 PM to Midnight at the Elite Fitness and Racquet Center, 13825 West Burleigh Road in Brookfield.
The Foundation is a private group of citizens which dates back to the 1950's, and its purpose is to support the students and programs of the Elmbrook District Schools. It does so by raising money via private donations, business contributions, and fund raising events such as the Have A Ball party. Funds raised by the Foundation are invested directly back into the school community in the form of grants to the District's eleven schools and scholarships for students. Beginning in 2001, the grants have enabled the purchase of nearly $150,000 of materials and equipment for the schools. The scholarships are awarded directly to deserving students who exhibit outstanding performance in the areas of academics, leadership, and service to both their schools and our community. Since its inception, the E.E.F. has given out over $800,000 in scholarships to nearly nine-hundred deserving students. Last year, twenty-eight High School seniors received scholarships of $1,500.00, and the Foundation plans some major announcements of additional grants later this month.
Something of Value
An African Basuto proverb says the following:
"If a man does away with his traditional way of living and throws away his good customs, he had better first make certain that he has something of value to replace them".
Out of Balance - Sports and Forensics in Brookfield
I have the day off and spent the morning enjoying small things, like taking our daughter to school, saying hello to her Principal and teachers, and an unhurried cup of coffee while reading the printed version of Brookfield Now. Later, I have a lunch date with our third-grade son. I will cherish this, as it could well be the last year he views Dad coming to school as something cool.
Now before I get into the subject matter of this article, I have some disclaimers.

Hampshire's road verges a cut above the rest
Wednesday, 30 May 2012
Hampshire County Council's highways maintenance teams are out across Hampshire working on the annual grass cutting and verge maintenance programme. Over 2,000 miles of Hampshire's roads are covered by the rural grass cutting programme - double the distance if both sides are treated.
Verges of ecological importance cut early or later in the season
Each year the County Council cuts a third of all rural verges back to their boundary. There are also a number of designated road verge sites of ecological importance, which are managed to ensure the survival of rare species and diverse species-rich swards. These areas are cut either early in the season during April or May, or in late September each year.
Rural grass cutting
Rural grass cutting is carried out twice a year using local contractors, with the first cut starting in May and completed by the end of June. The second cuts starts in August and should be completed by the middle of September. There are up to 12 machines working around the county at any one time.
Councillor Mel Kendal, Executive Member for Environment and Transport, said: "With almost 2,000 miles of roadside verges to look after, Hampshire's grass cutting programme is an essential part of maintaining the highways to keep Hampshire moving.
"Good visibility is crucial for motorists and other road users, so we have to make sure that verges are trimmed back during the summer. The work we carry out is sensitive to nature conversation, we ensure that plant and wildlife habitats of special interest are protected, with careful timings so as not to disturb resident animals and birds, and we are particularly careful on rural roads to balance conservation with the need to keep the roads safe for everyone who uses them.
"If you are a motorist and get stuck behind one of our grass cutting vehicles, please be patient. We always try to keep any inconvenience to a minimum, but work to keep our roads and verges safe is clearly in everyone's interests."

The complainant, an employee with Georgia Power in Dalton, told police that between the listed dates, someone cut and took a large amount of high-strength rope that is commonly used to pull electrical wire along power poles.
The unknown offender(s) took approximately 4,200 feet of rope, causing the four main spools to have to be replaced.
There are no suspects at this time, and the case has been turned over to detective Michael Tinker.
•Between July 17 and Sept. 19, a theft occurred on Mack Smith Road in Rossville, in which two cargo trailers were stolen from the vacant lot.
The victim stated that between the listed dates, two cargo trailers that he had parked at the vacant lot while working out of town were stolen.
The smaller 14-foot trailer was empty, but the victim stated that the 20-foot trailer was loaded with various construction materials as well as tools and household items.
A witness stated that she saw an old man drive off with the larger of the trailers with the help of a younger man.
She recalled that the duo pulled the trailer out of the lot and pulled into the Mega Star gas station.
She added that the men were driving a white or primer colored medium sized pick-up truck that was too small to be pulling the trailer.
The men were last seen pulling the trailer in the direction of East Ridge, Tenn.
The estimated value of the stolen property is $9,100.
The case was turned over to detective Timothy Busby.
If you have any information on these cases, contact the Catoosa County Sheriff's Office at 706-935-2424 or 706-965-6863. Anyone with information leading to the arrest and prosecution could receive a cash reward up to $1,000.

Billy Built-in with a top
Materials: Half Height Billy Bookcases
Description: I love built-ins, I can't afford built-ins so I made my own out of 5 Billy bookcases.
Step 1) Assemble bookcases! Easier said then done.
Step 2) Screw bookcases together, pulling the middle section out 3-4 inches. Creating some interest!
Step 3) Cut MDF into three sections, glue and nail to top
Step 4) Attach chair rail or crown molding to the face (a chair rail is much easier to work with than crown)
Step 5) Fill seams and gaps. Once dry sand
Step 6) Paint, we chose Martha Stewart's Talc color to match the white Billy bookcases, not an exact match but pretty darn close.
See more of the Billy built-in with a top.

looks very, very nice.
maybe caulk the corners/edges where the bookcases meet each other for a true built in look. Not to be critical, but this is not a built-in. The combined cabinet looks freestanding / detached from the wall. There are gaps on both sides and behind the unit, which built-ins do not have by using filler strips on the sides, or a frame that fits flush to the wall, and top that sits flush against the back wall.
Good effort with the storage and functionality of a built-in, but not there all the way.- AnonymousJanuary 28, 2011 5:53 PM
Hey Icerabbit - Go easy - it's an Ikea Hack, after all...

I really really dig this. I wanted to get the LIATORP set for my entertainment center/living room, but my wall is 2 inches too small for what I needed...the Billy series is perfect, I never even thought of adding the molding and a top to make it look more finished. I'm going to start planning mine now!

Icerabbit: what a jerk. This is an absolutely beautiful and achievable project that many would be proud to show off in their own home. Shame on you.

Hey Ashli it looks great, and I love the chairs! Where are they from? The composition of the room is excellent - you should be proud!

Great job! I love this. I've been dreaming of building half-wall bookcases. This is a creative and simple solution.
