Thanks and I'm very glad to be a part of this team. This is the kind of thing I have wanted to do my whole life. If no other opportunity presented itself I was gonna try to set the ultralight aircraft world altitude record, I figured that would be doable as a one-person project on minimal funding.... but I'd much rather go into orbit. I plan on bringing to bear all the resources I can on this project, because it will take as many people as we can muster and all of our combined skills and talent to really have a prayer. But then again, if it was easy someone would have done it already, and repeating someone else's work is whole lot less fun than pioneering (at least to me). Stew |

Careful what you wish for around me! That's in line with a balloon launch. I don't want to be the one doing the jumping though. I had a small HG accident at low altitude, but hey an ultralight? Maybe an ultralight Near Space craft? Near Space tourism flights could be longer and safer, Interesting. I do design aircraft I have a "Seabird" amphibian LSP. I hope to work on some day. Monroe EDIT: Wow you said Ultralight and for some reason I read Hang glider? Yes, Ultralight! But hey, Near Space tourism is an interesting possiability. _________________ Today's the day!

Yes, I was thinking a flying wing design with advanced materials, and a tesla turbine-based turboprop. If you compute the amount of energy in the allowable 5 gallons of fuel, with maximum power plant efficiency and maximum propeller efficiency, it ought to be possible to about double the current altitude record. Would have been fun to try! I did find a cool website about some guys that flew an ultralight over mount everest a few years ago while doing research.

The 3,500-pound shark was off Long Island, N.Y, on Thursday. Earlier, Mary Lee traveled as far south as Jacksonville Beach, Fla.
Shark researcher Chris Fischer says scientists know little about great whites and they are not quite sure why Mary Lee headed north so quickly.
Mary Lee and a second great white, Genie, were tagged in September. Genie headed south but because she doesn't surface as much, her travels are less well-known. She was off the coast near the Georgia-South Carolina line earlier this month.
Fisher is the founder of OCEARCH, a nonprofit dedicated to studying great whites and other large marine species.

I have to know why are the crows, crowing boldly? ? must blink and go? are the unknown, knowing rising? what is the unknown to your lost soul? i've got to know I race into town bleeding like some kind of bitch i'm down on my knees digging a new kind of ditch graced with pretty words but no answers to my questions it's a song I sing it's a song I sing I fall into town to let me commendeer the last frequency from your face a channel wish that must float up stream ? like a sweet dream what is this blood you drink like wine for? are you nuts for giving in? what does the face of death you court say? when he comes to tuck you in? it's a song I sing it's a song I sing it's a song I sing are we fighting for the spoil of endless war? what are these sores you lick like ice cream? you hide the ash you earn your past what is the blood bracing for? it's a song I sing it's a song I sing I keep telling you I keep telling you I keep telling you I don't want this song I keep telling you I keep telling you I keep telling you I don't want this song it's a song I sing

Custom E-LearningYou want an e-learning experience that feels completely authentic to your learners – created just for them. You want it on brand, and in your tone of voice. And of course, you want a great design experience that's completely tailored to your needs to achieve the results you care about. Our approach to custom e-learning is based on a practical approach to ensure learning is transferred to the workplace. This means:
Focus on what matters: You can't cover it all. Nor should you. We believe that e-learning should take a critical mistakes focus and hone in on the areas that will make the biggest difference to performance. We think of this as an 80/20 approach, i.e. 20% of the issues if addressed would make 80% of the positive impact. Make it goal-based: We take the view that most people are goal-based. They don't really want to 'learn' – they want solutions to problems and answers to questions. The e-learning needs to ensure it is focused on addressing goals that we know your learners face, and be set up to be obviously supportive of key tasks that they do. Practice, practice, practice: We all learn by doing. There is no substitute for real experience. But we can simulate this experience through engaging, short and focused goal-based scenarios in the e-learning. These give your team an opportunity to practice, make decisions, and make mistakes in a safe and supported environment, with coaching and support where needed. Tell stories: Stories are more memorable than information. While some of us may struggle to remember the key points in legislation, we would certainly remember if we violated it, and faced the consequences. We aim to capture the best 'stories' from your experienced experts, and use these where relevant within the learning, e.g. when someone makes a mistake in a scenario, or by accessing a set of stories. Make it look (and sound) great: Looks matter. Custom e-learning should be a great visual and media experience as well as a learning experience. Our team of graphic and flash designers make sure that e-learning is brand-led, and engages the eye as well as the mind, and use video and audio to bring emotion and impact. Talk their language, make it real: Custom means it's built for you. That means making it look great to reflect your brand, of course. But it means going further: making sure that it has a tone and personality. We believe e-learning needs to speak to learners like a trusted friend who's helping them along the way - being direct, challenging and above all helpful. And a sense of humour in the right places doesn't hurt either. We've applied these principles on over 2,000 custom e-learning modules. Each one is different (as you'd expect); all of them are designed to be a great experience that gets results. We're proud of all of them, and we'd love to show you some of them and find out how we can help you. Contact us for a discussion. You might also be interested in |

Changes to collection times
From week beginning 13 February your collection times may vary.
We are making some efficiency savings by modifying the routes which refuse collection vehicles use around the borough to collect recycling - this should save over £250,000 per year. As a result, you may notice your recycling collection crews come at a different time from usual. Your collection day remains unchanged. Thank you for your patience while the crews get used to their adjusted rounds.
What you need to do
Please make sure that your landfill rubbish and recycling is out by 6am on your collection day so that it can be seen by the crews and allows a double buggy or wheelchair to get past. If you think we have missed a collection, please report after 3pm on your collection day.
If you need your waste and recycling collected from your door because of illness or disability you can apply for an Assisted Collection on by calling 08456 122 660
Thank you for recycling.

A house is the place where we live. We are always comfortable when we are in home, rather being far from home. Home always makes us feel relaxed and secured. This is human psychology that we always feel secured inside the house.
It's easily understandable that a house is not only a place to live but also it gives us sense of security. Majority of houses are secured only for normal life. They are not secured in case of wars or natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes and earthquakes.
Such destroying events cannot let our homes to provide us any security. Our homes are secured only because they save us from harsh affects of the weather. But in case of natural disasters or war we'll have to leave our homes to be safe.

APD to Continue Crackdown on Drunk Driving
By: BCHP News Staff
Updated: January 2, 2013
Chief Stan Standridge says he's going to continue enforcing APD's "Stay Alive, Don't Drink and Drive" campaign, program started last year with a goal of cracking down on the crime.
While he says he doesn't have the luxury of adding more officers to the streets, they will be on the lookout for drunk drivers.
Currently, APD conducts about 28,000 traffic stops a year.
The Chief says that number will remain the same with a closer eye on drunk driving.

The bill [H. R. 321] to amend the act authorizing cities and towns to issue bonds to complete or build school buildings, approved March 11, 1867.

The bill [H. R. 52] authorizing the assessment of land for gravel, plank and MacAdamized road purposes, and repealing the law of 18G7being read the first time-
On motion by Mr. GREEN, the Constitutional restriction was suspended, the bill was read by title only and referred to the Committee on Corporations.
On motion by Mr. JAQUESS the House amendments the Soldiers' Home bill [S. 246] were concurred in.
The House concurrent resolution concerning the appropriation of $20,000 for the purchase of Dr. D.D. Owen's geological cabinet being read -
Mr. WOLCOTT moved to amend by reducing the appropriation to $10,000, for the reason that such cabinets have very little market value, though collected at great expense of time and labor. The Senator from Monroe stated last session that it had been offered to the State University for $10,000, and the present State Geologist knew of its having been offered for $16,000. Then a sister State has paid but $3,000 for one probably as good.
Mr. FISHER said that the widow of Dr. Owen would rather sell it for $16,000 and have it retained in the State than to sell it for $20,000 and have it removed out of the State, and that she had been offered the latter sum from parties outside of the State.
Mr. JAQUESS understood that this cabinet could be bought for $16,666, but thought it better to pass the resolution as it is it embracing the items of expense incident to the removal of this cabinet.
Mr. CARSON said the appropriation of such a large sum was a proper subject for the consideration of a committee, and he moved to refer the resolution and Amendment to the Committee on Finance.
Mr. FISHER thought the reference unnecessary; that committee knows nothing about this cabinet, except from rumor.
Mr. CARSON said the committee should consider the ability of the State to make this appropriation, the necessity of it, and its propriety.
Mr. MORGAN regarded this as one of the most valuable cabinets in the country, embracing some 84,000 collections. He saw no necessity of sending this resolution to a committee, and was very much in favor of the appropriation.
Mr. WOOD suggested that there was no place about the State buildings in which to put this cabinet, and gave that as one additional subject for the consideration of the committee.
Mr. WOLCOTT noticed that there is no mention made in the resolution about the furniture of the cabinet the scales, drawers, cases, etc. He had no doubt this is a very valuable cabinet, but knew from general observation that geological cabinets are not valuable property. Looking at such a purchase, however, in a favorable light, he would consent to an advance on his own proposition of $6,000; and so proposed to amend it.
Mr. Carson's motion was agreed to, and the resolution and amendments were ac page: 197[View Page 197]cordingly referred to the Committee on Finance.
The bill [H. R. 80] declaring what evidence shall be sufficient to establish title, prima facie, under a Sheriff's sale on execution, was read the first time and passed to a second reading.
The bill [H.R. 136] to create a lien on real estate sold for taxes by the County Treasurer, in favor of the purchaser, being read the first time -
On motion by Mr. FISHER, the Constitutional restriction was suspended, and the bill was read by title, so that it might be referred to the Committee on County and Township Business.
Mr. BRADLEY moved to instruct the Committee to strike out the "fifty" per cent. penalty, and insert in lieu thereof "twelve."
Mr. FISHER resisted the motion. Men who are borrowing money, frequently refuse to pay taxes because, at the end of two years, they can bring on suit and recover their land by paying the purchaser only six per cent. interest on the money paid at the tax sale; consequently we have such large delinquent lists all over the State. In order to remedy this evil he desired to see the bill passed.
Mr. GREEN regarded this as a very important bill, intended to remedy a great evil, and he opposed the instructions submitted by Mr. Bradley.
Mr. CARSON did not wish to see this bill passed, because its effect would be to put the poor men of the State in the hands of the money sharks. Necessity alone compels the poor man to let his land go delinquent.
Mr. BRADLEY was not opposed to any law that would facilitate the collection of taxes, but would much prefer a statue of limitation - say three, four or even six years.
Mr. BIRD opposed the passage of the bill. The present law is plenty good enough, if properly enforced. The only thing that might be done would probably be to extend the time for the collection of delinquent taxes. You want to give the collector time enough, and the present law is good enough.
Mr. GREEN insisted that this bill was only driving at the technicalities of the law unjustly taken advantage of by those who purposely allow their lands to be sold for delinquent taxes.
Then came the recess till 2 o'clock.
Mr. WOLCOTT called up the special order for this hour - being the consideration of the specific appropriation bill [H. R. 311] in Committee of the Whole; and, thereupon, the Senate resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, Mr. GIFFORD in the Chair.
On motion by Mr. CARSON, it was ordered that the bill be read and adopted by sections.
Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 having been adopted, and section 5 having been read Mr. FISHER said the committee saw no justice in erecting a monument to Governors Wiliard and Jeimings and General P. A. Hackleman, and not to Governors Wright, Noble, Whitcomb and others. He therefore moved to concur in the Committee amendment striking out this section.
Mr. RICE paid a feeling compliment to the memory of Governor Wright, a former citizen of his county. As the present Governor has recommended such an appropriation, he felt that he would like to see the I section amended so as to provide for a life-sized portrait of all our Ex-Governors to be placed in the State Library.
The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR hoped the Senate would leave the appropriation for a monument to General Hackleman stand. That soldier died poor, and this I would be a fitting tribute. Mr. HANNA suggested that a monument be erected in the Governor's Circle on I which maybe inscribed the names of the ex-Governors. He inquired why General Hackleman was singled out from among our departed heroes?
Mr. FISHER said it was because he was | the only general officer who fell in the field.
The committee amendment was agreed to.
The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR moved to insert a section appropriating $1,000 for the erection of a monument to the late P. A. Hackleman, in lieu of the section stricken out.
Mr. HANNA could riot see why this soldier-though a relative of his-should be singled out in this way, and he could not vote for the amendment. He moved to amend by adding an additional thousand dollars for a monument to the late Colonel Neff of Sullivan county.
Mr. BRADLEY moved to further amend by adding $1,000 for a monument to Colonel Gilbert Hathaway of Laporte county.
Mr. CARSON moved to add $5,000 for the erection of a monument to General Anthony Wayne on the old fort grounds in the city of Fort Wayne.
Mr. BELLAMY objected to these amendments proposing appropriations for monuments to colonels.
Mr. RICE offered a substitute authorizing life-like portraits of all Ex-Governors to be placed in the State Library-appropriating not exceeding $200 for each. The memory of these brave military leaders are page: 198[View Page 198] embalmed in the heart of every man that lives and moves and has a patriotic heart. Every man of Indiana, for all time, will like to look upon the portraits of the men who have governed the destinies of this State every four years, and he hoped his substitute would be adopted.
Mr. LASALLE moved to amend by adding the words "and Territory" after the word "State."
Mr. RICE accepted this amendment.
The substitute was adopted.
Section 10, appropriating $57 75 for taking care of horses for the General Government in 1863, being read-
Mr. BRADLEY moved to strike it out it being a claim against the General Government.
Mr. FISHER regarded it as a similar claim to many that have been allowed by the State.
Mr. HANNA insisted that we should not allow claims against the General Government.
Mr. CRAVENS knew the claimant to be a reputable citizen of his county.
The motion to strike out was agreed to.
Section 19 being read-
The committee amendment reducing the sum of $32 for a Registry book, to $23 04 was agreed to.
Section 20 being read-
The Committee amendment substituting $16 92 for $23 for printing 750 yeas and nays, was agreed to.
Section 21 being read-
The Committee amendment striking out $24 and inserting $17 28 for a book Register of bills, having been read-
Mr. TURNER said the Committee was satisfied that all these bills were 30 per cent, too high, and ordered their clerk to make the reduction.
The amendment was agreed to.
Section 22 being read-
The Committee amendment striking out $36 25 and inserting $26 10 in lieu, was agreed to.
Section 23 reimbursing $1,200 to the contingent fund was stricken from the bill on motion by Mr. BRADLEY.
Section 26 allowing the State Printer $7,455 13 for extra work done on the Adjutant General's Report, being read-
Mr. HOOPER moved to strike it out. This work was printed under a contract, and he saw no good foundation for this claim.
Mr. CARSON thought we should not allow contractors to come in here in this way and claim extra pay. Especially in this work the Legislature was entirely over reached.
Mr. GRAY and Mr. BELLAMY explained that in order to avoid making fifteen or twenty volumes the type was changed from large to smaller, which made composition.
Mr. HANNA had taken the look into this matter and explained the change from brevier to nonpariel type. Several volumes contained an excess of number of pages required by the contract, and this claim is for the excess.
Mr. HUMPHYEYS moved to reduce this amount 30 per cent.-the same reduction that has been made in the Printer's other bills.
Mr. FISHER said if the original contract had been lived up to strictly we would have had sixteen volumes instead of eight and the State would have had to pay $70 000 or $80,000 more for this work. He though-the amount should be allowed.
Mr. CHURCH and Mr. GREEN were satisfied that the claim should be paid m Mr. HOOPER still believed that the section should be struck out.
Mr. TURNER favored Mr. Huffman's amendment allowing $5,220 instead of $7,455, because he thought the 30 per cent deduction was about right for all bills coming from that printing establishment.
Mr. SHERROD could not believe that the public printer would make so large a charge erroneously, and hoped the amendment would be withdrawn. Let the section be adopted.
Mr. GRAY understanding that the work was done under an open contract, and that the House Committee had cut down the claim about 30 per cent(from upwards of $9,000)he thought this claim about fair.
Mr. FOSDICK had heard no one complain of the injustice of this claim, and if it be just it should be allowed.
Mr. HUMPHREYS recited the history of the order for the printing of this report, which has already cost the State about $80,000. He could not tell whether this claim is just or not, but it certainly should be examined very closely before allowed.
Mr. HAMILTON thought the State had been saved some $60,000 by the change talked of, and acknowledged here to have been made.
On motion by Mr. WOLCOTT, the amendment was rejected.
The motion to strike out the section was also rejected.
The section was then adopted.
Section 27, allowing $2,000 to Jonathan S. Harvey, late Treasurer of State service, being read-
Mr. CARSON moved to strike it out.
Mr. WOLCOTT read from Mr. Harvey's itemized account, and explained its correctness.
Mr. CARSON regarded this as a claim belonging not to the State of Indiana, opposed its allowance.
page: 199[View Page 199]Mr. ROBINSON, of Madison, presented papers to prove the justness of the claim.
The motion to strike out was rejected.
The section was adopted.
Section 59 being read, allowing $843 42 the city of Indianapolis for constructing a sidewalk around the Governor's Circle -
Mr. CARSON made an ineffectual motion to strike it out.
The section recommended by the Committee on Finance, allowing Talbott & Costigan $7,501.34 for articles used in building the State Prison North, being read-
Mr. FISHER moved to strike it out, and he showed that these contractors should not be allowed this claim-reciting many facts concerning their connection with the construction of the Northern Prison.
Mr. BRADLEY knew nothing of the matter of fraud referred to by the Senator from Wabash (Mr. Fisher). He read papers signed by members of former Legislatures, and made statements founded on undisputed authority, to convince Senators that the claim is just and ought to be allowed.
Mr. HOOPER stated that no minority report from the Committee on Claims was presented on this claim because he did not notice when the majority report was made-although he watched for it.
Mr. WOLCOTT and Mr. FISHER said, although this amendment appears as coming from the Committee on Finance, that Committee does not endorse it. It was referred to that Committee by the Committee on Claims, with instructions to report it in this bill, and that accounts for its appearance here in this connection.
After further remarks by Mr. ROBINSON, of Madison, Mr. BRADLEY, and Mr. CRAVENS-
The motion to strike out was rejected.
The section was adopted. And then, on motion by Mr. BRADLEY, the Committee rose, reported progress, and asked leave to sit again.
The Chairman reported as directed, and the report was concurred in.
Mr. CRAVENS, from the special committee thereon, returned the Morgan Raids Raids bill [H. R. 119], recommending its passage in a written report, reciting at length reasons why the bill should become a law.
Mr. HOOPER moved that the Senate adjourn.
The motion was rejected by yeas 20, nays 25.
Mr. FISHER opposed the passage of the bill. He read authorities to prove the correctness of his statement made the other day, that the General Government had reimbursed the State of Ohio only for damages done by the United States troops: - for expenses incurred in repelling the raid. He was unwilling that a deception should be practised here in order to secure the passage of this bill. He defied any Senator to produce an instance in the world's history where a government has paid for damages done to private property by a common enemy.
Mr. HOOPER regretted that there is a disposition manifested to pass through a measure of so much importance as this in such haste. This bill proposes to appropriate $413,000a sum that will certainly reach the bottom of the Treasury unless a further levy is made on the people of the State in the shape of taxes. He could not see why claims against the General Government should be fastened on the State; and, so far as the other classes of claims are concerned, they have no right in justice or in law to demand payment by the State. And whenever you depart from this and go outside of law to allow claims you enter upon dangerous ground.
Mr. HANNA argued that the failure of the State authorities to protect the property of these claimants laid the whole people of the State liable to bear the burdens to pay for its destruction-because when the people of the State put those in authority who failed to discharge their duty the whole people of the State are responsible for the failure.
Mr. GRAY, while extending his sympathy to the claimants, did not think this a just claim against the State of Indiana. He regarded reflection against the State authorities in this connection as having no foundation in fact.
Mr. CARSON made an ineffectual motion to adjourn.
Mr. TURNER demanded the previous question.
The demand was sustained by the Senate-upon a division-affirmative 24, negative 17-and-
Under its pressure the report of the Committee was rejected, by yeas 23, nays 24-follows:
YEAS-Messrs. Andrews, Bellamy, Bird, Bradley, Church, Cravens, Denbo, Grifford, Green, Hanna, Henderson, Howk, Huey, Huffman, Humphreys, Laselle, Lee, Montgomery, Bice, Robinson of Madison, Sherrod, Taggart and Turner-23.
NAYS-Messrs. Beardsley, Carson, Case, Caren, Eliott, Fisher, Fosdick, dray, Hadley, Hamilton, Hess, Hooper, Jaquess, Johnson of Spencer, Kinley, Morgan, Reynolds, Robinson of Decatur, Scott, Smith, Stein, Wolcott, Wood, and the Lieutenant Governor-24.
Pending the roll-call-
Mr. CARSON, when his name was called, said that this report was untrue in law, and false in fact.
Mr. CRAVENS, in explanation, disclaimed any personal or party allusion in his report,it was but the simple announcement of a general proposition.
page: 200[View Page 200]Mr. FISHER spoke knowingly when he declared that there was an organised regiment of men in every border county at the time of this raid, but the difficulty was they had no horses, and therefore could not catch Morgan.
Mr. GREEN did not like the language of the report very well.
Mr. HAMILTON was not prepared to endorse the language of the report.
Mr. HUMPHREYS, by his vote would not commit himself for the bill.
Mr. RICE disclaimed any intention in the report to strike at the officials of the State at the time of this raid.
Mr. ROBINSON, of Madison, thought the bill should not be passed without some amendment, and consequently regretted that the demand for the previous question had been seconded.
Mr. STEIN had been resting under the delusion that the State of Ohio had been reimbursed by the General Government for claims similar to these, but under the light thrown upon that question this afternoon he would not take the risk of voting for this bill.
Mr. WOLCOTT believed this report to be untrue in law and false in its deductions of facts.
Mr. WOOD voted "no" without indicating how he should vote on the bill.
The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, in explanation of his vote, said: If the Chair should be called upon to vote on the bill I should vote "aye," for I believe the bill is right; but I do not believe the statements in this report are true; and I can not give my vote to concur in a report that casts censure upon the Governor of the State, I therefore vote "no."
So the report was rejected
And then the Senate adjourned.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After Jonathan Quick put Los Angeles on the brink of its first NHL title with yet another shutout, the Kings' unbeatable goalie wore pretty much the same placid expression he sports after exhibition wins in September.
Almost nothing bothers Quick, including nearly all of the New Jersey Devils' 72 shots in the Stanley Cup finals. Nothing affects his poise in the crease or his focus on the next victory — and that's the only goal remaining for the Kings near the end of a playoff run with few equals in NHL history.
"We're just trying to win one game here, that's all we're trying to do," Quick said.
If they do, he'll get to drink from the Stanley Cup.
Maybe that will put a smile on this goalie's face.
Quick made 22 saves in his third shutout of the postseason, Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams each had a goal and an assist, and the eighth-seeded Kings beat New Jersey 4-0 Monday night to take a 3-0 series lead in front of a sold-out arena daring to believe in the end of a 45-year championship drought.
Alec Martinez scored the opening goal several minutes after Los Angeles killed a key 5-on-3 disadvantage. Jeff Carter and Williams added late power-play goals for the Kings, who improved to an astonishing 15-2 in the postseason.
Only the 1988 Edmonton Oilers can compare with their 16-2 run to the Cup. The Kings can match them with a win in Game 4 on Wednesday night.
"I don't think we're too surprised," said Kings defenseman Drew Doughty, who has scored in every game of the finals. "We know we have a great team in here. Before this game, it easily could have been 2-0 for them. It is a tight series, but at the same time, we are really confident with the team we have in here."
And with good reason: Los Angeles has jumped to a 3-0 lead in its fourth straight series — a feat never accomplished in NHL history before these seemingly charmed Kings steamrolled every opponent in their path.
Yet there's not much excitement yet among the Kings, who realize the folly of celebrating anything that isn't the Cup. Captain Dustin Brown didn't pick up the Campbell Bowl after winning Los Angeles' second conference title, and nobody was touching any speculation about the Cup.
"We're obviously not going to be stone-faced if we do something we've been waiting our whole lives for," Williams said. "We're going to keep pushing forward. We're a focused group right now. We're not going to let anything get in our way. We certainly don't want to get back on that plane."
Martin Brodeur stopped 17 shots, but the Devils couldn't beat the impenetrable Quick, who has allowed just 24 goals in 17 playoff games, or his penalty-killers, who turned aside six power plays — none bigger than a 60-second kill during 5-on-3 play late in the first period that left the Kings' fans standing and roaring.
"I think the (penalty-kill) was the difference in the game," Quick said.
The relative youngster in black has outplayed the 40-year-old Brodeur, and New Jersey must accomplish just the fourth comeback from an 0-3 series deficit in NHL playoff history to win its fourth title.
"It's not the best situation," Brodeur said. "It's probably the worst situation you could be in — no, it is the worst situation you could be in. But we believe in ourselves. We're going to compete as hard as we can, and the result will be there one way or another. ... We're just facing a team right now that's doing everything right."
The Devils had never lost three straight Stanley Cup finals games in the franchise's five appearances. New Jersey hadn't lost three straight games this season since late February.
New Jersey has been pretty good in the finals, but nothing has been able to slow these Kings, who seem destined to become the first No. 8 seed to win the Stanley Cup.
"We felt like the way we were playing, we were going to get one, but it just didn't happen," Devils captain Zach Parise said. "It's frustrating when everyone has been playing well, and we find ourselves down three-nothing."
The Kings could celebrate their first title at home, but their only speed bump in this dynamic postseason has been Game 4. They're 10-0 on the road in the postseason, but failed to close out Vancouver and Phoenix at home in Game 4s.
No team has won the Cup with a sweep since Detroit wiped out Washington in the 1998 finals.
After opening their first Stanley Cup finals appearance in 19 years with two overtime victories in New Jersey, the Kings relied on Quick and their penalty-killing in Game 3 before their offense got rolling. The Kings had to survive their early nerves from playing in front of their title-starved fans, and they barely hung on at times against the Devils' dynamic forechecking in the first two periods.
After Carter took a 4-minute penalty for high-sticking Adam Henrique while Los Angeles already was short-handed in the first period, Los Angeles killed one minute of 5-on-3 play before Marek Zidlicky lopped two more minutes off the

SALT LAKE CITY — A 9-year-old Utah girl who plays little-league football can claim a Wheaties cereal box.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Samantha Gordon of Herriman goes by the nickname "Sweet Feet."
Gordon ran for more than 2,000 yards and scored 35 touchdowns in a just-completed season for the Gremlin Division of the Ute Conference — football for little leaguers.
The girl's performance has gone viral on YouTube, making her something of a sports celebrity. She appeared Wednesday on "Good Morning America" with her likeness on a box of Wheaties.
General Mills Inc. tells The Associated Press it's a one-of-a-kind box — Samantha has yet to become a professional athlete whose image is used for sales of Wheaties cereal.
Her coach Chris Staib calls the running back a tenacious young athlete.

An equipment operator from Rockingham got the chance to show off his skills at the N.C. Department of Transportation's annual Equipment Operator Roadeo, held last week at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.
Earl Graves, a transportation worker with NCDOT, walked away with a win in the "tractor low boy" event at the competition.
The Equipment Roadeo featured representatives from all 14 NCDOT highway divisions showing off their skills in operating their heavy equipment by completing specific tasks in a safe manner.
"The trucks go through an obstacle course," Graves said. "You have to back up to a loading dock to unload freight … The closer you get to it without touching it … you can get up to 50 points. I backed up and mine was three and a half inches with a 65 foot trailer. The next thing you have to do is parallel park the tractor trailer. Then you go through a serpentine of barrels and weave around them. Then they set up some tennis balls. With the right side wheels, you have an inch of play on each side of the tires and have to go through them without touching. You pull up to a painted line in the parking lot like you were going to park. The closer you get without going over, you get up to 50 points. Next you have to do a pre-trip inspection of the truck, like you normally would.
"There are six stations for 50 points each. Three hundred is the best score you can make. My score was over 200. It probably could have been better, but it could have also been worse," Graves said with a laugh.
Graves entered the Roadeo representing Division 8, which he said consists of eight counties.
Kevin Hendrick, District Engineer for NCDOT, said the Equipment Roadeo is held every year.
"We're real proud of him," Hendrick said. "Earl drives a dump truck daily. He hasn't driven a low boy for several years, since he left forestry service … For him to compete against other operators, where their primary duty is operation, and for him to win, that makes it ever more special."
Three of the six individual champions work for NCDOT Division 3, headquartered in suburban Wilmington. Donnie Thigpen of the Duplin County office took the title for tractor/mower, while Jongie Futral, also from Duplin County, was the top backhoe operator, and Timothy Smith of Onslow County won the single-axle dump truck competition.
Other winners include Robert Chapman of Alexander County in motor grader and Darrin Willett of Chatham County for tandem dump truck.
The overall team title went to Division 14, which took the championship trophy back to the western mountains and its headquarters in Sylva, Jackson County.
Runners-up in the individual events were Nakoma Emanuel of Forsyth County (backhoe), Charles Hensley of Burke County (low boy), Brian Gentry of McDowell County (single-axle dump truck), Chad Bailey of Stokes County (tandem dump truck), Justin Beam of Cleveland County (tractor/mower) and Gerald Ellixson of Granville County (motor grader).
Both the winners and runners-up move on to the 10th annual Southeast Regional Equipment Operator Roadeo in Beckley, W.V., on Sept. 17-19 against their counterparts from seven other states.
NCDOT won one individual title in last year's southeast championships and finished fourth overall behind two-time defending champion Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi.
Graves has been employed with NCDOT for six years, and lives with his wife, Tina, in Rockingham.
"I'm very proud of him," Tina said of her husband. "He's worked all of his life very hard. He grew up farming and driving farm equipment. We still do some work to move hay and things like that … but nothing like driving the big equipment that he does at DOT. He's a very hard worker and I'm very proud of him."

Da'Rick Rogers was suspended from the University of Tennessee football program for failing drug tests according to the troubled wide receiver.
Rogers made the admission Tuesday during a press conference to announce his decision to transfer to Tennessee Tech.
"There were a couple of drug tests," said Rogers. "And it was about me being a young, immature guy and those are things that I've got to work on. I plan to do that. When it came to review my next school and I met coach (Watson) Brown I most definitely felt like he was a guy that could help me with all my things and the situation that I had going on."
The 6-foot-3, 206-pound junior led the SEC in receptions (68) last season and was second in the league in receiving yards (1,040).
Brown told the Tennessean that Rogers will dress for the team's game Thursday night against Hampton but he hasn't made a decision whether or not he will see any action.

Being a Follower: Leonard Sweet
I'm reading Leonard Sweet's book "I am a Follower".
It turns leadership on its head, which feels a bit ironical to have it as a textbook this 9 weeks in my Master of Arts in Christian Leadership course. But, then again, I didn't expect to learn leadership ordinarily. We're working from the ground up here. We aren't learning to be bosses, we're learning to be like Jesus, and influence others in the fashion of God's Kingdom, not man's (courtesy of the Sermon on the Mount, I might add)
It's a challenging message for us.
Here are some noteworthy bits I've gleaned:
1. Jesus wasn't looking for leaders…he was looking for followers. Instead of worrying about finding and keeping followers, we follow him.
2. The seduction to apply a secular business model has infected churches but has been a remarkable failure. Spiritual depth doesn't come from this model. (Willow Creek's self-assessment is an honest but damning example.)
3. God's strength is made perfect in human weakness, and this will be illogical in a worldly model. God's power is how we do well.
4. God will prune us, for our own good, so we may be more fruitful and glorify him more.
5. Strategy and planning common in many church models today can superseded the focus on the work of the Holy Spirit.
6. There is a going myth the technology and innovation are answers to our leadership and church problems.
7. God calls us to do something bigger than ourselves.
8. The Church's obsession with leadership reflects our cultures values which usually center in ego and self-interest.
I will follow up with more from this intriguing and entertaining book. The man does not shy away from plays on word.

Hello, hello! Today a friend told me that she spotted an article I submitted to Apartment Therapy featuring my parents' garden. I had planned on sharing some of my latest memories from their garden already, so that exciting news came in seamlessly! Check it out:
With that in mind, I just want to express some mushy love towards my parents. Like the article said, in the beginning when I was studying I left a tiny garden behind for my parents to watch over. Low and behold when I came back, it was untouched and had dried up. It's okay though… no hard feelings, Mom and Dad! But a few years later, my parents stepped up to their own plates and started a venture into the world of organic gardening. I think it's an examples of all those sayings that talk about going on or making our own paths. What's important to each of us is something that we discover through our own experiences, and we add them to our files, sometimes making them a part of our daily priorities. And the thing is… what matters to me may not matter to someone else. Hearing about the beginnings of the garden when I'd talk to my parents on the phone, and seeing its growth on each visit–especially during my last one–has been a joyful experience. From my parents triumphantly sharing the gardens' bounty, to hearing about all of the efforts that go into keeping an organic garden. It's just helped bring something back into my parents' spirits that I can hear in their voices and see in their eyes. It lies within their hearts. I must say though, that I'm glad that me and my family have a strong kinship, made even stronger by being able to share the things we care about. It wasn't always like that either though.
Actually, taking a step back, I think this garden has inspired and revived a wholesome way of being within my family. Much how I meditate on the parallels between life and what goes on in a kitchen or a yoga mat, my family has been living those lessons through the garden. A garden doesn't just come out of nowhere, unless it's the Garden of Eden. Although things do grow in the wild, there is a caring and thoughtful energy that goes into tending a garden. You learn where the plants seem to thrive the most, next to which plants, how much to water them, when to water them, rubbing olive oil on their leaves to protect them from hungry worms, all their little secrets. Similar to how we take care and learn from the relationships we have with people in our lives. When I would walk through the garden, checking up on the plants, I would breathe out a loving feeling. After all, they do "eat" CO2. And as I'm walking through life I see my words and actions as a bridge–a connection–to this world. An opportunity to build one.
With tomatoes being picked by the basketful, my family was coming up with ways to prepare them, aside from popping them into our mouths.

You are in MYRTLE HEAD, a picturesque town perched at the top of a scenic wooded headland. It's a pretty little town, but not terribly exciting. Nothing out of the ordinary ever happens here. Ever.
You are quite certain that this statement will never be ironically contradicted.
Not that you've seen much of the town anyway; you're here for business, and got here and went straight to the LAKEVIEW HOTEL where the important CONFERENCE that you came to Myrtle Head for is taking place.
(You are uncertain exactly how it got its name, given that there don't actually seem to be any lakes viewable from the hotel...)
You've finally made it to the front of the line to pick up your badge and other conference materials. Now you just have to tell the guy manning the check-in table your NAME...

T-Mobile's Q1 sees revenue drop, customer gains
In the midst of a turnaround effort, T-Mobile reported late Tuesday that its first-quarter revenue declined 7 percent on service revenue losses while adding new customers.
The wireless carrier recorded total revenues of $4.68 billion for the first quarter, compared with $5.03 billion for the year-ago quarter. Service revenue decreased 9.9 percent to $4 billion but were offset by increased equipment revenue. Its adjusted earnings, excluding interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization, totaled $1.2 billion, a 12.4 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2012 but a 7.5 percent decline over the year-ago period.
