2013 Cleats Sports Classic Invitational Scout Blogs
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The 2013 Cleats Sports Classic Invitational tournament will bring together 15 talented teams to compete throughout the Phoenix area.
Chaparral, Desert Mountain and Saguaro will share the co-hosting duties. Chaparral is the reigning champion of the tournament, having knocked off Saguaro in the title game at Arizona State's Packard Stadium last year. Chaparral parlayed that momentum into a run to the 2012 Arizona Division I state championship, while tournament MVP
Dylan Cozens
became a second round draft pick of the Philadelphia Phillies. Here are links to the 2012 Cleats Sports Invitational Classic
top prospect list
This year's field will feature arguably the state of Arizona's top prospect, in Desert Ridge MIF
Riley Unroe
. The USC commit is the son of former big leaguer Tim Unroe, and is likely to be the biggest draw for scouts in the field. Unroe ran a 6.40 60 yard dash at the 2012 National Showcase, threw 88 mph across the infield and is a talented switch hitter.
While Unroe is the marque name entering the tournament, history has shown us that several players will likely seize the opportunity of playing on this stage to make a name for themselves as well. Cozens was a bit of an unknown at the beginning of his senior season at Chaparral last year, as some expected he would choose to pursue football. RHP
Jackson McClelland
of Redlands East Valley (CA) HS wasn't very well known prior to the 2012 Cleats tourney, but he ran his fastball up to 94 mph there and showed enough potential to be drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in spite of a strong commitment (which he chose to honor) to Pepperdine.
Defending state champs Chaparral was hit hard by graduation, but the perennial powerhouse still features a lot of talent. 2014 LHP
Andrew Shaps
, an Arizona State commit has shown steady development and was impressive at the 2012 National Underclass Session 1 showcase, where he topped out at 88 mph with good movement from a low three quarters arm slot. LHP/1B
Dillon Bigcrane Jackson
is a talented two-way player, who has also been in the upper 80s on the mound and has some power from the left side. The Firebirds have sent three players to Major League Baseball in recent years: Paul Konerko, Ike Davis and Brian Bannister.
Out of state import IMG Academies from Bradenton, FL is perenially strong. This year's team is highlighted by two-way standout and Stanford commit
Brett Hanewich
. Hanewich has taken home plenty of hardware from Perfect Game events over the course of his career, and he combines a low 90s fastball on the mound with high level switch hitting ability and strong defensive play at third base. Another familiar name from IMG will be
Manny Ramirez
, the son of former big league standout of the same name. Meanwhile 2014 OF
Andrew DiLacqua
will look to make himself at home in his future home, as an Arizona State commit.
Perfect Game will provide live coverage during the tournament with real-time scouting info via twitter (
and @
), with a post-tournament top prospect list as part of the event wrap-up coverage. The semifinals and championship game will be scored live via GameChanger, allowing fans to follow the action online from anywhere in the world.

Alaskans Take Dim View of Obama's Gun ProposalsState Speaker of the House files legislation to fight enforcementANCHORAGE/JUNEAU - Alaskans have strong opinions about their guns. After President Obama unveiled a package of initiatives designed to curb gun violence, gun owners' response has been clear: They don't like new limitations, and they don't like not knowing what these new laws will mean for the guns they already own. "I think it's ridiculous, and it's totally against my rights," said Tamra Freeman, a mother and a gun owner. She said she's not happy with the plans the president announced today. She said that taking guns out of the hands of responsible and law-abiding people would not keep the weapons from criminals. But not all Alaskans think the new proposals are a bad thing. "When the Constitution was written, they were taking like a minute to load like one shot for their firearms, right?" Darren Mackie asked. He's not a gun owner, and said he'd never want one. "When they wrote it, the 'right to bear arms,' but now they've got guns that can shoot out like a thousand rounds a minute, or some craziness like that," he said. He supported new background checks to obtain guns and said he agrees with the idea of limiting the number of rounds that are allowed to fit in a magazine. At Rabbit Creek Shooting Park in South Anchorage, gun owners were out practicing today. And while many declined to be interviewed on camera, one new gun owner said talk of the new federal restrictions are the reason he was there, practicing with a new gun he feared would soon be impossible to buy. At Alaska Custom Firearms, Gunsmith Stephen Koziczkowski said he thinks even the language used to discuss guns needs to be clearer. "High capacity magazines is another one of those things that are very subject to interpretation," he said. "If a rifle comes out with a thirty round magazine, for that rifle, that is a standard-issue magazine." What's considered a high capacity magazine for one gun, Koziczkowski said, is simply standard on another. And the idea of better background checks, while well meaning, is another phrase that leaves gun advocate nervous. "Comprehensive is open to interpretation," he said. "How comprehensive do you want to make the background check? Do you want to go through a federal security check like they do at the airport every time you buy a firearm? That takes weeks. That's pretty comprehensive. But even we've had people there slip through the cracks." Despite the uncertainty, gun sales continue to soar in Alaska, and across the country. And though many questions remain about what Obama's proposals mean for gun owners, demand for guns remains high. And with new regulations now in play, it's anyone's guess when manufacturers and retailers will be able to meet that demand. After the president's speech, a Nikiski lawmaker wasted no time filing legislation to combat some of the president's plans. House Bill 69, introduced today by Republican Speaker of the House Mike Chenault, would charge any federal employee with a misdemeanor if they tried to enforce any of the executive orders issued today by the president. This follows the lead of Wyoming and Texas, two states which have already introduced similar. bills. Chenault says the bill is important to protect gun rights in Alaska. "While its pretty harsh, I think Alaskans think that highly of their guns, and the rights to bear arms," he said. "I think that they would probably support that issue." But other lawmakers think Chenault has overstepped his bounds. "I think the idea of arresting federal officials is just about as bad an idea as you can have, and I'm surprised that any person would file such a bill," Anchorage Democratic Senator Hollis French said. "You know I support the second amendment, but that is now what this bill is about. This bill is apparently about bringing back the civil war." French added, "When you talk about arresting federal officials, you're asking for an incitement, and that's not the right way to solve problems in America, you sort of look for constructive solutions, and this isn't one." Chenault says he had been working on the bill before the president's announcement today. For his part, French says he doubts the bill will leave the House. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Wednesday, Jan 16 at 11:45 PM we are surrounded by crazy people . the government is not taking our right to own a firearm away . there is nothing wrong with a complete background check . get a grip people . Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 16 at 11:57 PM so sick of hearing the defence of the constitution and the 2nd amendment. I own semiautomatic weapons but no where in the constitution does it give me, a regular citizen the right to own a firearm. this is stated in the bill of rights written 250 years ago to protect my home from invading British soldiers. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 17 at 12:16 AM This is becoming an issue of emotion instead of common sense. We can't play the 'when the constitution was written' game. Life is dramatically different now, so either we re-write the entire thing, or we accept the wisdom of the founding fathers. Do you think Jefferson sat there musing that 'these modern muzzle loaders are becoming a threat to society; why, bow and arrows were never this dangerous!' Anyone with access to the internet, the same internet which allows you to read this comment, can learn to build or modify a firearm. The lunatic bent on shooting up a school IS GOING TO DO IT. All the laws in the world won't change that fact. Innocent wide-eyed kids huddled around the president in a manipulative photo shoot won't change that fact. Taking away every last gun and piece of ammo from us, the common citizens, won't change that fact. Should we outlaw cars because someone at the wheel can mow down dozens of pedestrians? Use your BRAIN people!!! Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 17 at 12:24 AM They say getting an ID for a voter disenfranchised minorities and elderly, but for a gun it's fair game. The Fed won't enforce immigration laws, or pot laws, but new guns laws they will enact and enforce. Credibility is crud. Just talking points with no idea on the right way to deal with and issue, once again. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 17 at 12:29 AM Problem with Alaska now is the libs ruined other states and now run here as a last bastion. Run them out, and we regain our freedoms. Everywhere libs meddle there are unintended consequences and they keep ignoring them because they know better, like bammy using the word common sense, he needs some. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 17 at 12:40 AM you don't even own a BB gun, you fool no one. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 17 at 1:02 AM Everyone I know owns guns...so if I would be needing one they would let me borrow it...but most I know would opt to put in security cameras and see what is wrong and what is lacking first...to find out why I would need to borrow it...out here it's live entertainment... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 17 at 1:52 AM Did someone say they were going to take my guns? I missed that. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 17 at 8:18 AM Everyone knows that the Sandy Hook shooter was a direct result of Obamacare (drugged up). Now he wants to take our guns, how ridiculous... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 17 at 8:48 AM Does anyone know how to pull up the gun bills he signed? They seem impossible to pull up. I think it is our right to read them. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 17 at 3:58 PM 'those who give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither' - benjamin franklin Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Jan 17 at 11:40 PM AKGuns: the Bill of Rights *is* part of the constitution; the first ten amendments. The Constitution affords you that right. It was written in 1787, adopted in 1789. The Revolutionary War ended in 1783, so, no, neither the Constitution - or the Bill of Rights - were written to fend off invading Brits. And if they knew that we'd use it to justify assault weapons and high capacity clips being thrown into the hands of any untrained idiot (outside of a well regulated militia) for a cash exchange, they'd have swam back across the Atlantic. Google before you opine about things you clearly have no knowledge of. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jan 18 at 10:48 AM Alaskans are bound by the same rules and regulations as the rest of us in the lower 48. Don't fight it, just lube it up and bend over! Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jan 18 at 8:48 PM steve is right! check at the airport same for all, goverment officials go around the security checks as the way they will with guns.... Inappropriate?

Amazing Wedding Cakes
To get married is one of the happiest and most memorable times in an individual's life. When planning the wedding reception, you have numerous things to consider. Wedding cakes are another essential part of those.
Many brides and grooms would like to get away from the standard white three-tiered wedding cake. The topsy-turvy style is becoming more and more popular in recent years due to its fancy and abstract look. The topsy-turvy cake is an amazing method to draw in the guests' attention, but can still remain elegant with color selection.
Wedding cakes are usually delicious and edible. Besides good taste, they should also act as the amazing showpieces of your wedding as well.

"Some men see things as they are and ask why...I dream things that never were and ask why not." George Bernard Shaw
My mom took her life in 1979. In 1982 I attended a suicide conference in Texas and visited a Suicide Prevention Center located in a horrible crime-infested part of the city. The wrap-around-porch on this beautiful, old building was protected by bullet proof glass The residents of that neighborhood were very protective of the center. The hotline volunteers who answered the calls from desperate people, sat at desks on that porch. I knew right then and there that one day, somehow, our area would have such a center.
Through a great deal of hard work by a good many people, and, with a bit of luck, such a center exists in Batavia, IL. Suicide Prevention Services of America incorporated, officially, on May 29, 1998 but had been in the works for several years before that. SPS is a full service suicide prevention center. We offer:
- walk-in crisis counseling
- depression screenings
- education in the schools
- a hotline staffed by well trained volunteers (also part of the national suicide prevention hotline)
- support groups (for those who have lost a loved one to suicide and for those who have attempted suicide but lived)
SPS is funded by United Ways, Community Chests, and Mental Health Boards. We are also funded by grants, fundraisers, donations , and insurance. We are, for the third time in 14 years, facing a shut down to either three or four days a week until money begins to filter in from our upcoming September Walk. We are at a bare bones staff; no one, including me as the executive director, makes a large salary. There is no retirement or pension. We are all here because of our desire to prevent a death by suicide. We have all lost someone we love to suicide.
Every single day, someone walks through our front door asking for help. Like many other agencies, we would like them to have an appointment; unlike many other agencies, we turn no one away nor do we have a waiting list. We always have at least one clinician here for just that reason. Imagine, for a minute, being so desperate for help, feeling the ambivalence between life and death, that you walk into a place where you have never been before. This place has the word "suicide" in it's name. Suicide Prevention Services. Can they really help? This is my last chance...
If you are a survivor of a loved one's death by suicide, you probably wish that you had known about this service for them. If you have ever walked through our front door or if you have ever felt so alone and scared and filled with pain that you wanted to die, then you know what I am saying.
The staff is creative enough and committed enough to continue to keep the doors open; however, by working only three or four days a week, their paychecks, once again, go down. The three top clinicians, myself, the director of Clinical Services, and the suicide prevention specialist have been with SPS since the founding. We are suicidologists. We are trained in the field of suicidology.Any one of us would be a prime catch for another agency and/or a school. Our heart is here. Every single staff person has been an intern here.
There are a lot of social service agencies struggling with this economy as it is. Some will read this and declare that their agency "does exactly what SPS does" but this is not true. A one size fits all social service agency is a jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none. SPS focuses on one thing: the prevention of suicide. We are a mental health agency that understands depression and other mental illnesses that are a foundation for suicide. We work with the crisis and then, often, refer to our agencies or partner with another agency. For example, is domestic violence is involved, we would link with Mutual Ground in Aurora.
No matter what county you live in, I guarantee that SPS has helped someone from your county.
I am asking you to visit our website www.spsamerica.org and see what we do. If you are able to donate, there's a button to do so, and I thank you in advance. (You can also click here to donate.)
If you have ideas for fundraising or can help with our Walk or other special events, please let us know. Right now, we need money to enable us to continue to help those who are desperate.
The word "suicide" is, sometimes, still whispered. When I dreamt of an agency like Suicide Prevention Services, someone told me that to have "the 's' word in the name could put people off." I hope you will accept my reply as not flippant or hurtful when I looked this person in the eye and said, "I would rather put someone off than have someone off themselves because the name of our agency wasn't clear and they weren't able to come for help."
Suicide: It's a word. People die by suicide.
"... I continue to dream and ask, 'Why not?'"

I appreciate your concern as to other's well-being but as the author of this article commented below "talking and writing about suicide does not cause it." This is a myth that has been poorly passed down along the ages.
This is a website that gives you more information regarding suicide as well as gives you help if you need it : ) Thanks again for your concern

Talking and writing about suicide does not cause suicide. That is a myth.

Miss Weber have you read Cialdini on the subject? Just writing something is a myth does not make it so.
Doremus Jessup
12:27 pm on Thursday, June 28, 2012
Miss Weber I found this through the second website you posted. here is the link.
Research Shows An Increase In
Suicide May Occur When:
• The number of stories about individual
suicides increases.*
• A particular death is reported at length or in
many stories.*
• The story of an individual death by suicide is
placed on the front page or at the beginning
of a broadcast.*
• The headlines about specific suicide deaths
are dramatic (A recent example: "Boy, 10,
Kills Himself Over Poor Grades").*

Ms. Weber thank you for writing this article. I along with Craig Bobowiec help start the Yellow Ribbon Walk in the Tri-Cities a few years ago after the loss of his step daughter. He held a benefit concert prior to the first walk and I brought up there the importance of talking about suicide. I myself have lost two family members. It scares people and as we see here some people are afraid of copy cat situations, but one thing I find interesting is for several years we tried to get the school district to talk about it with the students in a significant way, they would not and each year a child was lost if not more. Once the students came forward and showed they wanted to talk about it and the school finally implemented it they had success. Talking about it make everyone aware. Friends see signs and realize it is important to let someone know, those thinking about it are more aware of how it is truly final and the impact it leaves on those who love them. Bless you for talking about it.

YES - it helps if people talk about suicide. Talking about it can save lives. Talking about it with people like the amazing staff and volunteers at SPS is especially helpful.
I lost my son Joe to suicide and my life is forever changed. I chose to channel part of my grief into helping others deal with suicide and volunteered for a couple years at SPS. It is an amazing organization providing a very much needed service. Learn about suicide, talk about suicide, and donate if you are able - you can save a life.

Wow!!!! Im going to take the advice of Wendi and leaving the ignorant alone. Speaking about suicide does help and it does help others. Loving someone who has attempted but was saved at the very last minute is such a whirlwind of feelings, A- Im ever so grateful he was found, he belongs here. B- he can now help others, read the signs that others , as hard as they try to hid the fact they're not happy and try to help them. If suicide is not talked about people will die and that is NOT ok. I will figure out some way to raise some money... LETS TALK ABOUT IT!!!! SUICIDE PREVENTION BABY!!!
Craig Bobowiec
10:35 pm on Sunday, July 8, 2012
What Stephanie and SPS have done for so many in the area and by working the "Hotlines" is unmeasurable. Saving one life would have been worth the effort and I know they have saved hundreds. Since D303 finally woke up and implemented education and "Yellow Ribbon" programs in the dictrict, I do not believe they have had a single suicide. Prior they had at least 1 per year for 5 or 6 years straight. Letting those who are hurting know there are people to talk to, there are other options and answers rather than death does give them an opportunity see a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Educating all the rest of us also on how to deal with someone who is contemplating it is also so valuable. Who would ever think someone they know who ever take their life? I never dreamed of it and yet it happened in the blink of an eye. That trauma touches and changes so many people in the circle of the one who is lost and you are never quite the same. Please, each and everyone of you who has read Stephanie's story, needs to come to their rescue and help in whatever form or amount you can. Losing SPS would be a dire loss to the community and it shouldn't happen.

If "not" talking about suicide were the real physiological cure of the disease, I would become the most vocal of this non-vocal cure.
Amazement & confusion combine to leave me disheartened when I am reminded of how medically advanced we've become about every organ, joint, muscle, tendon and fascia covering in the body except the most important ... the brain. Suicide, depression, mania, bi-polarity, hoarding, schizophrenia, paranoia, etc., are real physiological diseases of the brain. Diseases that are still culturally embedded in myth, guess & Ostrich-like cures that serve the emotional IQ of the supposed "mentally healthy" people but do nothing to address the organ's physical reasons for the disease by the disease sufferers.
Loreta J.
12:01 pm on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
We MUST talk about it. It serves many purposes to talk about it. One is to educate our kids and let them know that this is never the answer, and that it would effect us who love them and would miss them. We don't want to live without THEM! They are THAT important! Second, if we talk about it, they become aware and in tune to their friends behavior, talk, etc about this subject. They will learn to see signs and maybe worry enough to say something to them or to someone else that might end up saving their lives, or at least giving them a sense that someone cares about them.

Great article. And timely. I found it interesting that there were multiple articles recently about the untimely death of a young, apparently much beloved DGN coach and when those of us who didn't know him or anything of the circumstances around his death asked about them were almost chastised for doing so.
When another commenter factually acknowledged that his life ended apparently as a result of suicide (and provided a link to a related article), someone actually asked why that comment wasn't removed. Of course, I recognize the importance of respecting privacy, family wishes, etc. (although noted that there was no mention of cause of death being kept private, etc. - so nobody knew if there were sensitivities or just sloppy reporting). I also recognize that a repeatedly publicized passing of a young and important person will inevitably invite questions about the cause of death. It seems that efforts to hide the fact or chastise others for asking simple questions only adds to an unnecessary and unfortunate stigma.
Megghun Redmon

Ms. Weber,
I will continue to support SPS, I know the importance of this agency and can see the dedication the staff has. Please continue to update us on the status of the agency and how we can help. : )

My 19 yr old son died by his own hand. I don't think he did it because he heard someone talking about it. It seems to me that if a celebrity commits suicide it is all over the news-yet I have read that the news industry will not write about the suicide of a less known person. In Kenosha WI 5 high schoolers committed suicide at the same highschool during the same year. Maybe if the papers had reported on it the parents would have known what was going on at that school.

VPOs are located within existing businesses and are operated by the management of those locations. VPOs can offer a range of services including Forever Stamps, Pre-paid Priority Mail Flat Rate envelopes, mail collection boxes and post office boxes.
The Rock Ranch is owned by Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy and is dedicated to "Growing Healthy Families."

Gary...It's not one of the bridges that you made. It's the main bridge on the gravel trail crossing the river between the trail head and the West loop/Crooked Vulture area. I'm going there today, so I'll get some pictures posted sometime tonight.
I talked to 3 teen boys who have been riding their BMX bikes out there. They said that they are the ones who had built a plywood fort by the old car a while back. They seemed to have been just as upset as we were about the vandalism, but it could have been an act. They admitted to being out there nearly every day, so I asked them to keep an eye out for us anyhow. They appeared to be cooperative, but as you know appearances can be deceiving.
Oh almost forgot, the Crooked Vulture sign has once again reappeared. I wonder how long that will last.

Newsmakers-Ike Trevino of New Mexicans For Health Security Campaign

The Presidential Citizenship Medal recognizes American citizen who have
"performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their follow citizens."
When I was a special education teacher and then an assistant principal, many of my "kiddos" lived in extremely impoverished conditions (including in some cases no running water or sheets for doors in their trailers). I have known first-hand the ache of wanting to help children feed their bellies or find safe shelter. My friend, Mary K. Hoodhood, has experienced this as well.
When the Ford factories closed in Grand Rapids, Michigan, many families who once could provide, no longer could. It was during this time that Mary Ann Prisichenko, who is a school principal, explained to her friend Mary K. that she caught kids digging through a trash can… searching for their dinner.
This story reminded me of my former elementary students who were hungry. They struggled with learning and retaining information. Often they were sick. They were frequently in a survival-mode thinking of their physical hunger needs instead of being able to focus on the task at hand such as learning their multiplication tables. There are many children around the country with similar needs.
According to the Share of Strength: No Kid Hungry's Childhood Fact Hunger Sheet (2011):
- More than 16 million children in America are at risk of hunger. That's more than 1 in 5.
- 15.7 million children in America live in poverty.
- Over 20 million children get a free or reduced-price school lunch on an average school day.
Mary K.'s organization Kids' Food Basket successfully meets the needs of the children in her town. It is so empowering for the over 150 community members volunteers each day to pack and deliver these sack suppers, particularly when you learn that some kids know that they are making their own dinners. Currently, the Kids Food Basket serves over 4,800 children at 32 schools, along with a summer program that serves hundreds of kids.
Hearing her story on Ray Leonard's radio show, doing an interview to fill in the gaps on the phone, attending a KFB fundraiser, and interviewing this incredible woman on camera was fabulously inspiring to me personally. I continue to be blown away by her passion for the cause. I was also moved to tears by the love between her and her husband. She told me about Jeff in the following excerpt from the book which explains a part of what it was like to wake up as a quadriplegic…
Ordinary People Extraordinary Planet
"I have been married to my husband, Jeff, now for thirty years. I recall when I woke up after the accident, my first thought was,'Jeff will never leave me.' I knew in my heart that even though we were not yet married, he would be by my side. He says with a grin that he knew 'he couldn't let this one get away.' Even though others were concerned that caring for me would take a toll on our relationship, we have proven how strong our love is for each other."
It is seeing first hand this type of love and self-less service towards others that fills my heart with great joy. I am delighted to be the storyteller to spread the inspiration. Thank you to Mark K. Hoodhood who received acclaim from Lifetime Television and the Presidential Citizenship Medal. If you want to help, please visit Kid's Food Basket's website. Even if you can't donate money, check out how a group of children can color lunch bags to brighten the day of children in need.
Please let me know if you were moved by Mary K. Hoodhood's story in this post and in greater detail in Ordinary People Extraordinary Planet. Think about all the things you are capable of doing and then utilize your skill sets as Mary K. does daily!

Covering 800 hectares, Lavaux is the largest contiguous vineyard region in Switzerland, and its daringly constructed hillside terraces have been protected by UNESCO since 2007.
Right at the start of this tour, the medieval St. Saphorin with its narrow alleys and characteristic winegrowers' houses from the 16th to 19th centuries is worth a visit. The town's original church steeple still adorns many wine labels today. It is said that the Auberge de l'Onde, an establishment that can look back at a centuries-old tradition of hospitality, and where local delicacies are served on three floors, is worth sinning for.
To carelessly pass by wine cellars and traditional pubs would be a crime. After all, those who want to experience the scenery with all the senses should also taste it. And after a glass of Chasselas the dynamic uphills and downhills of the trail to Lutry are twice as much fun. On some days of the week the "Lavaux Express" is ready to comfortably transport tired hikers through the World Heritage Region, as is the "Lavaux-Panoramic" train, which takes hikers thorugh the same region.

My son and I will be visiting the Lavaux region next August. We plan to rrive from paris and are not sure whether we should make our base in Geneva or maybe Montreax. Also, could we walk part of the way, and do part of it by train? Thanks

The Mote In God's Eye is their acknowledged masterpiece, an epic novel of mankind's first encounter with alien life that transcends the genre. No lesser an authority than Robert A. Heinlein called it "possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read".
The Mote in God's Eye, set far in the future, tells the tale of humanity's first contact with an alien species. Despite being first published in 1974,..Show More » the science holds up fairly well. There are a few funny oddities that show the story's age, such as the mention of "microwave ovens" and "pocket computers" as if we would be shocked by their ubiquity, but these are rare. However, in this tale, the science isn't the star of the show. Rather, it's the nature of humanity and how that nature compares to the Moties who represent a unqiue threat. The characters, while not of any great depth, are passable for sci-fi. Some reviewers may complain about this but, as an avid sci-fi reader, I have seen much worse. I never really developed any strong attachment to the characters, but I did get to know them well enough to keep the story engaging. This is a moderately paced story with some parts moving rather quickly and others trudging along. There are a handful of dull portions, mostly involving Empire politics or background exposition, but just when I started feeling bored, the story picked up. The plot, while sometimes predictable, still leaves enough mystery to keep you reading. The story is long, perhaps a bit longer than it needs to be. For example, I think Horace Bury's character added nothing to the story and could have been cut entirely. I don't understand why some reviewers disliked the narrator. Personally, I think LJ Ganser does a superb job. Ganser can handle a room full of similar characters while giving each one a unique voice. His narration of Admiral Kutuzov deserves a freakin' medal. His reading never once interfered with my ability to absorb the story. Overall, I'd say this is a great read. It isn't the best first contact story, and it isn't the best sci-fi novel ever written, but it's fun, engaging, and memorable.« Show Less
Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, award-winning authors of such best sellers as Footfall and The Legacy of Heorot, return us to the Mote, and to the universe of Kevin Renner and Horace Bury, of Rod Blaine and Sally Fowler. There, 25 years have passed since humanity quarantined the mysterious aliens known as Moties within the confines of their own solar system. They have spent a quarter century analyzing and agonizing over the deadly threat posed by the only aliens mankind has ever encountered - a race divided into distinct biological forms, each serving a different function: Master, Mediator, Engineer, Warrior.

Studs & Duds - Friday 3/8/13
I'll volunteer They call Tennessee the volunteer state, and on Friday night Colin Wilson volunteered to lead the Preds past the visiting Oilers. Colin racked up two goals and two assists, one each on the man advantage, as Nashville obliterated Edmonton 6-0. He's 14% owned in Yahoo leagues, but only 12% started him. Listen closely and you'll hear that two percent facepalming themselves. The scalpee becomes the scalper Matt Duchene delivered the goods with a goal and three helpers as the Avs finally put an end to the Blackhawks streak. Matt added two hits, two blocked shots, won eight faceoffs, and two of those assists came on the powerplay as a nice bonus. The Avs 6-2 win avenged Wednesday night's 3-2 loss to those same Blackhawks. This game serves as the cherry on the sundae for his owners who are being rewarded for gambling on his rebound from last year's disappointing season. This guy... Courtesy of Puck Daddy Major respect, even if it's a rival, for the point streak. But as a Red Wings and Stars fan I revel in Chicago's defeat. If only they had been the ones to end it, but they had their chances and missed. Duds Gimme back my bullets The Oilers are singing that old Skynryd classic after being shutout on consecutive nights. When they fell behind 1-0 that wasn't the end of the world, that came when Dubnyk allowed an unobstructed shot from the red line to get past him to make it 2-0. From there the massacre was on. I don't even know where to begin, I could populate the next week's worth of Duds selections from this game alone. Suffice it to say the Oilers have hit rock bottom, unless of course they pull out the heavy equipment and resume digging. The thrill is gone I guess if you've backstopped your team to a record setting points streak to open a season, when it ends it might as well end with an emphatic thud. On the night "the streak" ended Corey Crawford put up his worst statistical night of the season, finishing with a 7.51/.737 line and swapping seats with Ray Emery after the second period. It's merely a bump in the road, so let not your stat sheet be troubled Crawford owners, Corey shall surely rebound. He still owns a sparkling 11-1-3 record with a 1.81/.930 stat line powering many of his fantasy owners in their quest for a title of their own. Flame out After opening this season on decent run for his new team Dennis Wideman has gone as cold as the Alberta winter. After opening with 10 points in the first 13 games, he only has one point in the last nine and is a minus-4 over that same stretch thanks only to to his plus-3 in the game where he got his lone point. Otherwise Wideman would be a minus-7 over that same time. At the moment he's doing more to help your fantasy rivals by sabotaging your roster from within. Deep thoughts from a shallow mind - P.A. Parenteau and Paul Stastny joined Duchene in feasting on Chicago. The duo each contributed a goal and two assists to the winning effort. - After inking a huge new contract earlier in the day Ryan Getzlaf notched a goal and assist in the win over Calgary. - Pekka Rinne stopped all 24 shots he faced during the Preds de-pantsing of the Oilers. - Not to be outdone Viktor Fasth put up a clean sheet of his own stopping 29 shots in the Ducks 4-0 shutout of Calgary. - Jakob Silfverberg picked up the game winner as the Sens knocked off the Rangers 3-2. Sergei Gonchar chipped in two assists as well. - Dustin Byfuglien ended his 13 game goal-less streak when he scored the game winner in OT against Jacob Markstrom and the Panthers. - Brandon Saad continued his mini-breakout picking up and assist on the Toews goal. Saad now has seven points in his last six games including a three point game against the Wild.

How about some love for EJ? Came back from concussion, assisted a goal and was +4. All it took to stop the red hot Blackhawks was a game against EJ.

I had my first dabble in politics during my senior year in high school, when I agreed to help a close friend run for student body president. What started out as a harmless venture into high school politics so he could meet girls, turned into an ugly, downright shameful campaign that would have made Mitt Romney proud. Our campaign strategy was simple, we would raise money for the campaign by collecting donations from a few friends in return for political favors. Which really meant nothing at the time, this was high school after all. Our political influence was limited to perhaps a free lunch.
We collected a small fortune of about $200 dollars. The money went to finance a smear campaign against our rival in the race, that amounted to us passing out flyers around campus, suggesting that our political rival had a love child with a handicapped student. My friend showed no remorse and pulled out all stops on his dirty election run. Leaving me thinking that he would have even taken out a hit against the other guy, if he would have gotten away with it. In the end, our political ambitions got us suspended from school, costed us a few friends and the election.
Now fast-forward to 2012 and what has changed in American politics? Not much really.
As the 2012 presidential race is hot under way, the Republican front-runners are busy tearing at each other's throats via proxy attack ads, such as a recent attack ad against Newt Gingrich financed by Mitt Romney's super PAC, "Restore Our Future." It's a catchy name, isn't it.
So what in the hell is a super PAC? The term is an abbreviation for political action committee and its birth came from the 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v.The Federal Election Commission. Prior to the decision, political contributions were limited by the federal government to tune of $2,500. After the decision by the high court, previous limits on political campaign financing were prohibited, opening the floodgates for unlimited political contributions. Super PACs can now raise unlimited amounts of money in support for or against a candiate. The only catch is that the super PACs cannot "coordinate" with candidates they support. Is it just me, or does that not make any sense at all?
Given the complexity and absurdity of it all, Stephen Colbert invited the former chairmen of the Federal Election Commission, Trevor Potter, on his show early last year to explain what a super PAC is and how it works. Click on the link above to see the video.
So why even have a super PAC? For starters, its expense to run a political campaign. According to a recent article in Forbes, the cost of a presidential run has skyrocketed over the years. In 1996, Bill Clinton spent $153 million, compared to the $774 million Barack Obama spent in 2008.
Second, not everyone who wants to have some say in how the government is ran will run for office. So how can organizations, businesses or individuals have a say in goverment? By buying some political influence and that is now becoming easier to get then most people think. All it takes is deep pockets, leaving out about 99 percent of Americans from the political process.
According to Forbes, As of 2011, super PACs supporting Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich raised over $32 million combined. Behind some of the largest contributions are mega millionaires, like Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who gave Romney $11 million as of January of this year. According to political strategist Douglas Schoen, when ever a political donor gives that much money, that donor is now someone with some sway, "you will be taken seriously in Washington by every player." Where as "in traditional philanthropic giving, that's a valuable contribution, but the president of the university doesn't have time for you. The President of the United States does have time for you," according to Schoen.

With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scoring 25 points on Saturday afternoon, Georgia beat Tennessee 78-68 to end the Vols' six-game winning streak and complete a season sweep of their SEC rivals.
Georgia entered the day having lost four of its last five games, including suffering a one-point defeat at Vanderbilt on Wednesday night after leading by 17 points in the first half.
Also included in Georgia's recent tough stretch was an overtime loss at Mississippi and a two-point defeat at Arkansas.
The Bulldogs took no satisfaction from consistently having chances to win. They wanted to finish what they started — and on Saturday, they did.
"It was important for us to get back off the mat," Fox said. "You have to get rewarded for doing it right. You have to have successes along the way."
Georgia led by 12 with about three minutes remaining and kept the lead in double figures for the final minute.
"The last couple of games we've left the ball in the opponents' hands in the last couple of seconds," said freshman Charles Mann, who had 18 points. "It felt good to have the big margin at the end."
Mann called the win "a confidence-booster."
"Tennessee is a heck of a team," Mann said. "To get the win puts us back on track."
Tennessee (17-11, 9-7 SEC) suffered its first defeat since losing to the Bulldogs 68-62 in Knoxville on Feb. 6.
Jordan McRae set career highs with eight 3-pointers and 35 points to lead the Vols before fouling out with about one minute remaining.
Georgia (14-15, 8-8) took its first regular-season sweep of the Vols since 2001. Mann made 12 of 14 free throws. Georgia made 22 of 26 attempts overall.
The Vols, who moved into NCAA tournament consideration with their longest winning streak of the season, were denied their first streak of seven straight SEC wins since 2008.
Kenny Hall had 10 points but no other Tennessee player scored in double figures.
Trae Golden, last week's SEC player of the week, made only 1 of 10 shots from the field for four points, eight below his average.
Skylar McBee missed his first seven shots before finally sinking a 3-pointer for his only points. Jarnell Stokes had eight points and 10 rebounds.
"I felt like we didn't get the shots we were looking for," said Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin. "Give Georgia credit defensively, but when we don't get production from Trae and Jarnell, it's going to be a long night."
McRae, who averaged 28 points in his last three games, continued his hot streak.
He had 27 points in the Vols' 64-58 win over No. 8 Florida on Tuesday night. His previous highs of six 3-pointers and 34 points came in an 82-72 win over LSU on Feb. 19.
McRae made eight of 11 3-pointers but said he couldn't enjoy another career high.
"We lost, that's all that matters," McRae said. "The personal stuff doesn't mean much. It goes right out the window."
McRae said the Vols had to shoot 3-pointers because Georgia sealed off the lanes to the basket: "Every time we tried to drive, it was like driving into a wall," Mc-Rae said. "There was nowhere to go. It was tough."
Georgia had success from the 3-point line in each win over the Vols. After making 11 of 20 from behind the arc at Tennessee last month, the Bulldogs made 8 of 16 3s on Saturday.
The Bulldogs led by 11 at 25-14 late in the first half. The Vols rallied to lead 41-40 on McRae's 3-pointer about eight minutes into the second half.
Georgia had a quick answer. A jam by Tim Dixon gave the Bulldogs the lead for good.
Freshman Kenny Gaines, who returned after missing one game with a heel injury, hit a 3-pointer with 5:20 remaining to give Georgia a 53-45 advantage. Gaines' added another 3 with 2:56 remaining to push the lead to 12 points.
"Coach said to keep fighting and stay with the process," Gaines said.
Georgia had five turnovers before it scored its first points but finished with only nine turnovers for the game, including only two in the second half.
Georgia will host Kentucky on Thursday night.

Syrian Oppositionist Mamoun Al-Homsi
I salute the heroic Syrian people. I salute the heroes of Syria, the Sunnis of Syria. I salute you, brave men, defenders of your faith and your country.
From this day on, you despicable Alawites, either you renounce Al-Assad, or else Syria will become your graveyard. Enough of your silence, enough of killing of Sunnis. From this day on, we will not remain silent. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
I swear that if you do not renounce that gang and those killings, we will teach you a lesson that you will never forget. We will wipe you out from the land of Syria.
From this day on, we will not be silent. We will turn Syria into the graveyard of Alawites, if they do not stop the killing. Down with the despicable political Shia.
This is the opposition in Syria. They want all other people to die. A full massacre of Alawites and Shias. Where in the world have you seen where opposition groups come and name another sects and ethnics and declare war on them? Have you seen any opposition in Bahrain calling stuffs like these on Sunnis, even though Sunnis are supporting al-khalifa while in Syria it is not only Alawits but majority of Baathist minded Sunnis are supporting Assad as well. Have you seen in Iraq in the last 3 decades where Shias say something like this?

Man arrested in connection with Irricana-area hit-and-run
Police Notebook:
Police arrested a man in connection with a fatal hit-and-run that took place on Highway 9 near Irricana, around 12:30 a.m. on June 21.
Calgarian Lloyd Louis Gerard, 40, was arrested in the evening of June 21 in Calgary and charged with dangerous driving causing death and failing to remain at the scene of a collision.
Gerard has pled not guilty to the charges.
Beiseker RCMP received a 911 report from a motorist who came upon a collision between an SUV and a 2005 blue Dodge 3500 pickup truck with a white slip tank in the back, that took place on Highway 9 just south of its intersection with Highway 567.
When RCMP, Rocky View Fire Services and EMS arrived on scene, they discovered the driver of the SUV, a 51-year-old Raelene Schmaltz from Beiseker, had died.
The driver of the pickup, and possible occupants, had fled the scene.
�HAWCs were called out along with a police service dog in an attempt to locate the occupant or occupants of the other vehicle that had fled from the scene,� said Cpl. Darrin Turnbull of the Airdrie RCMP at a press conference on June 22.
�We still don�t know how the collision happened, that part is being investigated. However, it is a criminal offence to flee from the scene of a collision when someone has been injured.�
Turnbull said Gerard sustained injuries.
The road was closed for about nine hours during the investigation.
Bomb threat
RCMP and about five security officers responded to a bomb threat at CrossIron Mills mall, in the early afternoon of July 27.
A small section of the mall was evacuated for about 40 minutes before the situation was deemed a false alarm by RCMP at around 1:30 p.m.
�One of our stores received a call saying that there was a package in the store,� said Ken Gallaher, CrossIron�s property manager. �A crisis management plan was implemented. Everything seems fine.�
It is the first such threat Gallaher has had to deal with.
�It gets your heart going a little in the afternoon,� he said. �RCMP arrived very quickly and took control of the situation.�
Break and enter
Police are looking for two Caucasian men in relation to a break and enter at an Airdrie Shopper�s Drug Mart location, which took place at around 12:50 a.m. on June 20.
Police believe the suspects tampered with the locks on the front door of the store, located at 836 1st Ave., to gain entrance.
Once inside, suspects stole perfume and cologne, mainly Chanel and Lancome products, the value of which was not known at press time.
If you have information on any crime, contact Airdrie RCMP 403-945-7200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.crimestoppers.ab.ca

Strengths: High Speed, SATA, Decent Storage.
Weakness: Size and Price
I've had this fella tooling along in a rather oversized performance machine. It's been a bit over a year now of running this hard for anywhere from 6-14 hours every day without a hitch. It can produce a bit more noise then a normal hard drive that one might be used to, but that is the trade off of the higher speed performance this drive provides, and it is certainly a noticeable increase in...

The Bar By Which All Others Will Be Judged Has Just Been Raised !
Strengths: Repeat after me, Fast, Fast, Fast!, 95% of the performance of 15,000 RPM SCSI drives without the SCSI headaches, 16 MB buffer, 4.6 ms seek time
Weakness: Price is still high at $200, 150 GB is on the smaller end compared to current 1 TB monster drives, Raptor X is louder than regular 150 or 75 GB Raptors, SSD drives may soon eclipse the Raptors
(Jan 6th, 2008) Every few months one of the five or so large drive manufacturers (Western Digital, Maxtor, Hitachi, etc) comes out with a new hard drive claiming revolutionary advancements. This crap is almost never true, but with the 150 GB Raptor we finally have a drive that trys to live up to some of its billing. If you are an enthusiast, power user, rich or just plain hate the slow boot times...

Fastest Sata drive I have ever tested.
Strengths: Speed, reliability, great raid drive.
Weakness: Though 150 gigs is a big jump from the previous 74 gig raptor drives, the size is still its only weakness.
Western Digital does it again. They release an update to the fastest Sata drive on the market, which was overdue, but well worth the wait. These drives are up to any task you can throw at them.
By deadsoulz - Jan 17, 2006
Great drive!
Strengths: Fastest SATA, less expensive than similar speed from SCSI
Weakness: Makes a good small random read/write for boot, not for huge files
I have been using this drive in a RAID 0 as a boot drive on my PowerMac G5 for quite some time with a Firmtek SATA PCI card to bypass the native SATA. (Newer Mac Pro's won't need the PCI card.) The speed and 300GB storage size is very ideal and FAST! With my huge collection of movies, tv shows and music from iTunes, the response of these RAID O Raptor drives is awesome. I would advise one Rator...

Raptor Hard Drive
Strengths: SATA, 10000 rpm, 16MB
Weakness: price
At this point in time, Western Digital is the only hard drive manufacturer that has all the bells and whistles, ie. SATA, 10000 rpm, 16 MB and decent capacity(150 GB)for this class of enthusiast hard drive. It is pricey though.
