When Duncan Musselwhite lines up at center on Friday night, he will look over and see a former teammate.
When Duncan Musselwhite lines up at center on Friday night, he will look over and see a former teammate.
Musselwhite, New Bern's 6-foot-3, 220-pound junior, once played with Wilmington Laney's star linebacker Coult Culler, an N.C. State commit.
On Friday, Musselwhite will attempt to block the Buccaneers' 6-foot-5 Culler.
�(Culler) is big and really strong. I guess he is a force on the field,� Musselwhite said.
Musselwhite and Culler played together on the same middle school team � Noble Middle School in Wilmington.
Culler's father played ball at Clemson, while Musselwhite's father, Britt, played at Duke.
Musselwhite has 18 pancake blocks as a first-time varsity starter, and on an offensive line that lost four starters from last season.
He knows Friday's showdown will be a tough challenge. Laney's first-team defense has yet to allow an offensive score.
�We plan on running the plays the coach designs for us to stop them,� Musselwhite said. �The way we block them, they can't really do anything about it.�
New Bern's revamped offensive line paved the way for a big rushing game in its 28-0 win over Jacksonville last week.
Cody Purdie ran for more than 170 yards, while quarterback Michael Hughes ran for four touchdowns.
�We see a lot of improvement,� Musselwhite said. �We've come together a lot more as a team and we are a family now because we weren't at the beginning of the season.�
Lining up next to Musselwhite, this week, will be tackles Troy Taylor and Cal Hanford, along with guards Shaquille Henderson and Josh Strayhorn.
Guard Shawn Best will not play.
�I just try to be a leader as much as I can. Being a junior, it's kind of hard, but I do my best,� Musselwhite said. �We are a pretty young line. Those of us who came up last year, we learned from the previous players. We are keeping the Bearball tradition going.�
New Bern (2-2) has beaten Laney (2-1) in each of the past four seasons while both were playing in the Mideastern Conference.
This is the Bears' final non-conference game before starting Eastern Carolina Conference action against C.B. Aycock next week.
�The keys are to play sound football, minimize penalties and have no turnovers,� said New Bern coach Bobby Curlings. �If we do those things, we will do pretty well.�
Hughes has passed for 350 yards, including 205 yards to wide receiver Deauntae Grimes. Purdie has 369 rushing yards in three games.
�We've been able to establish a running game the past two weeks,� Curlings said. �We have to mix it up and get a passing game going.�
Kickoff from Caruso-Coates Stadium is slated for 7:30 p.m.
Eagles collide with Conley
The West Craven Eagles (3-1) look to close out their difficult non-conference schedule with a 4-1 record when they take on D.H. Conley Friday in Greenville.
Conley is also 3-1, with its only loss coming to Washington, who West Craven defeated 14-7 last week.
Conley has wins over North Pitt, West Carteret and Ayden-Grifton.
Conley runs a run-heavy offensive attack in a Wing-T formation.
West Craven has been riding solid quarterback play from senior Alkeim Harley and a strong defense to its 3-1 mark.
Danny Harvey, Kenny McDaniel and Tyrone Brown are lethal threats at receiver.
Freshman Claron Mims has assumed a starting role at the linebacker position, after making the game-sealing interception against the Pam Pack.
West Craven and D.H. Conley will kick things off at 7:30 p.m.
Hurricanes look to turn things back around
The Pamlico Hurricanes (1-3) equaled their win total from 2012 in the first week of 2013 with a blowout victory over Croatan.
Since then, Pamlico has been stuck on one win, with losses to Lakewood, Farmville Central and Edenton Holmes.
Friday the Hurricanes welcome in Ayden-Grifton to Bayboro.
Tarik Davis has rushed for 283 yards and Naquan Gibbs has completed nearly 50 percent of his passes and thrown for 426 yards.
Gibbs has four touchdowns to two interceptions.
Cameron Moore has seven receptions for 169 yards and three touchdowns.
The Chargers (0-4) have losses to North Pitt, D.H. Conley, Riverside and Farmville Central.
Trojans search for first win vs. Richlands
The Jones Senior Trojans (0-4) have been beaten up by perhaps the toughest non-conference schedule in the state over the first four weeks of the season.
Opponents have outscored the Trojans 201-21 so far.
Friday, Jones will welcome in Richlands for a fifth non-conference battle.
Jones Senior is led by quarterback Glen White and linebacker Nihkee Jones.
Richlands is 2-2 with wins over Croatan and South Lenoir and losses to East Duplin and Southwest Onslow.

Because there hasn't been a post in 6 days... 2 gun range repot/review
First gun, I sold a kahr p380 that I absolutely hated... I have larger hands and after every round my mitts would push up the slide lock and I' be like WTF MATE
Taurus PT145 Mellenium gen 3 (very similar to compact 24/7 with minor control variations)
Bought it used for 300 dollars with extra mags, ammo, Glaco and cross breed super tuck holsters
Initial impressions:
Moderate holster wear but only appeared to have very minimal rounds down the tube.
Magazines - 10 round, easy to load first 8, last 2 are difficult but not so much it needs an assist tool. They are black coated steel. Even empty at the push of a button they fall out freely.
Controls - takedown, mag release, safety all for the right handed shooter. Safety is not nessecary as it has internal safeties. Mag release is in browning correct fashion.
Take down - lock slide back, flip lever and slide out. I glock style let the slide forward, pull trigger and wiggle slide off.
Function - this is a single action striker, with double strike capability. No decoker. Single action trigger pull is as smooth as a 1911 custom as soon as the slack is taken up. Double action, well thank god it's not a true double action because it is 10 light years long and heavier than a sigma.
Accuracy - tested with carry ammo, Winchester hollow points of some sort 6 rounds @20 feet, 3" group with 3 rounds going through the same hole on the cardboard.
This is a very nice edc gun. In the cross breed it disapeqrs under a regular tee shirt. It's slim and fairly light weight. Even new they sell for around 320-340 and that is a very good deal. I know a lot of people rag on Taurus's semi autos but I've totaled 100 or so rounds and have not had one issue.
2nd gun
h&r pardner protector pump 12ga. 18.5" (870 clone)
Purchased new for 179.99 from dicks sporting goods.
Initial impression is, we'll I already have a pardner field gun so I know that these things are made in china. Well being made in china i suppose its made of surplus scraped tanks. This thing weighs nearly 8lbs. I can tell the parkerizing is not up to 100% par, I'd say its a couple notches above keltecs quality. It is a tactical model so it has black "plastic" forearm and buttsotock. The plastics on this are very nice, I'd out them up with rock rivers or magpuls quality. It's dense and solid feeling.
Magazine the - 5 rounds comes with 2 round punger so that went right away. They all lock in the tube positively and are pulled out of the tube perfectly. I will be adding a +1 extension.
Controls - identical to 870 trigger block safety and forearm release. I do wish it had the magic button my benelli has to eject shells without chambering.
Take down - unscrew cap, pull of barrel and pop 2 pins out. I dentical to 870. To remove mag spring push down on stop rotate one quarter turn and slowly release.
Function - single stage trigger is very crisp and tight. Unlike the benelli I'm use to, you have to cant play too light with the forearm. You don't have to want it, but as long as you put in normal effort a round will chamber. This sum bitch is loud. It does not kick as hard as I expected, probably because it has a rubber butt pad
Accuracy - being an hd shotty I only shot from 15 feet, 3 rounds in the same place without much effort to aim. One round high and to the left, the final round I took a few steps back, and aimed away from where I had been shooting, and 9 32acp size holes were all within 3".
This is a great hd gun, it's accurate to 25 feet or so but since it has no choke anything over that is wated lead. I like this gun because everything 870 will fit on it except for barrels (which someone makes spacers for). I'm not to worried about beating this gun up so I taped a flashlight to the end, and now my fn45 can be a safe queen/shtf side arm, as if I ever do use my hd weapon chances are ill never see it again due to ohios gucked up firearm return laws
I'd recommend this shotty to anyone in need of an hd gun, or zombie slayer. I fully believe that it is more solid than any current 870 ( save for police tactical editions, which its on par to them in terms of reliability)

How were they able to sell the shotgun here given the rules on Chinese guns? Do they import part kits and assemble them here?
@_@ @...@

Do you feel dizzy? Do you feel faint? Jesus H Christ, I think you've got a hardon!
Nope, fully manufactured and assembled in china,
Interesting enough, h&r was owned by marlin,
In 2007 Remington bought marlin and all companies marlin owned,
And a couple years later freedom group was formed and now owns Remington marlin, h&r, bushmaster, dpms, para and a few others.

Good info, I've been wondering whether or not to get an expensive 12 guage like the marine magnum that will withstand salt air or just get a cheap one and not give a damn about the slight surface rust. You helped sway me towards cheap.
The parkerizing is easily scratched, he'll mine had a light scratch on it when I brought it home.
Oh and cosmoline galore..., but just keep a light coat of oil on it and it's not going to rust.
The best part is, as I said before everything. 870 fits on it except for barrels, but there are spacers available..
But for the price, might as well get 2 of them, 400 bucks for 2 shottys that's are interchangeable, plus with the mag extension my 28" pardner holds 10 rounds

AZZA Toledo 301 Review
A new case is probably one of the toughest choices to make in a fresh build. There are a whole plethora of options to consider when buying a case. Good looks and cooling performance are just a few of these options up for consideration. For whatever suits your taste, Azza has a case for you. The Azza Toledo 301 packs some neat features such as blue LED fans, a 250mm side intake fan, and even a few tool-less solutions. The Toledo 301 also includes support for a few more fans beyond what it ships with so there is plenty of room for expandability. The case even features great water cooling support which includes a total of four holes with grommets in the rear as well as a removable top panel to allow for radiator installations. So just what else does this case have in store? You won't know unless you read on.
Closer Look:
One quick look at the box and you'll notice the same thing is featured on each side of the box. Specifically both the left and right side of the box have a table of specifications whilst the front and back have the same shot of the case from the top down. It would be nice to have another look at what is inside before opening the box or to even have a few more details, but it is what is on the inside that counts.
With the box opened we are greeted with the top of the case sandwiched between the usual two pieces of Styrofoam and wrapped in a plastic bag.
It is of course what is on the inside of the box that counts. So just what is in there?

Former tennis World No.1 Jennifer Capriati is facing battery charges and possible arrest after being accused of stalking and punching an ex-boyfriend on Valentine's Day.
Capriati, a three-time Grand Slam champion who won 14 titles and earned gold at the 1992 Olympics, had an altercation with Ivan Brannan at the Oxygen Health & Wellness gym in North Palm Beach, Florida on February 14, the local police department said on Sunday.
While Brannan was working out, Capriati, 36, "started screaming" at him before punching him "with a closed fist four times in the chest", a police report said.
A yoga instructor then stopped the former tennis pro from continuing to punch Brannan and the 28-year-old managed to lock himself in the men's locker room and call 911.
Brannan, a former Florida State University golfer, had red marks on his chest from the incident, according to the police report.
Brannan, who dated Capriati from May 2011 to February 2012, told police that Capriati began harassing and stalking him shortly after the couple broke up. He also later brought officers documentation of seven other altercations with the former tennis pro.
The North Palm Beach Police Department in Florida subsequently requested an arrest warrant for Capriati, though it has not yet been issued by the court, a spokeswoman told AFP.
A publicist for Capriati issued a statement on Friday stressing that the case "has not yet been assigned in Palm Beach County and has not been reviewed".
"The current facts being circulated by Mr Brannan are an over-exaggeration and the police report is one-sided in Mr Brannan's favour since they failed to get Ms Capriati's side of the story," Natalie Mikolich said in a statement cited by US media.
Capriati also took to Twitter herself to defend herself.
"I pushed a man that was verbally assaulting me away from me. This man has been tormenting and abusing me for so long. The truth will prevail," she wrote.
Capriati was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame last year.
But her career was overshadowed by personal problems, including incidents of shoplifting and drugs, and she struggled with weight problems.
She was charged with cannabis possession in 1994 and spent time in a drug rehabilitation clinic before struggling to return to the game.
In 2010, she survived a suspected suicide attempt following a prescription drug overdose.
Capriati won the 2001 and 2002 Australian Open titles and the 2001 French Open. In her second Australian triumph, she rallied from 6-4, 4-0 down to defeat Martina Hingis in the final, saving four match points.

A little more than a year after officials at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth announced a plan to cut about $800,000 total in institutional funding for its academic research centers, officials said this week there would be no further cuts to those centers' budgets for the 2014-15 school year.
DARTMOUTH — A little more than a year after officials at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth announced a plan to cut about $800,000 total in institutional funding for its academic research centers, officials said this week there would be no further cuts to those centers' budgets for the 2014-15 school year.
University spokesman John Hoey said the centers are slated to be level-funded, meaning this school year, they will receive the same appropriation from the university they had received during 2013-14.
Last year's overall funding cuts slashed about 25 percent from the budgets of 13 research centers at UMass Dartmouth, with most of those cuts directly affecting their directors' salaries.
At the time, officials said the cuts were needed as part of a plan to address a $15 million shortfall in the university's overall budget.
The cuts also intended to spur centers to seek diverse funding streams, mostly from sources outside the university. When asked about the status of the university's budget this week, Chancellor Divina Grossman said the situation "is much better."
Both Grossman and Hoey said the budget concerns had been addressed by budget reductions in various areas, as well as reallocations into others.
"It's still a fragile process," Hoey said.
In an Aug. 25 letter written to Grossman, Chief Financial Officer Mark Preble said efforts overall are strengthening the university. The letter included a report that outlined the revenues received by 10 different academic centers.
The university funds that had largely supported most of the centers were derived from its state appropriations and from tuition and fees paid by students.
Preble said modestly reducing institutional subsidies to the research centers was among the areas for reductions "that would not affect the quality of our teaching, research or community outreach."
"When we combine institutional subsidies with external funding we get the true picture of our centers' financing and how they have fared over the last couple of years," Preble said.
The report shows that overall both revenue streams were reduced, with centers overall receiving about $300,000 less in external support. Preble said most centers actually increased their external revenues, and said the net reduction is largely because of the loss of $1 million when a faculty member associated with the Kaput Center for Research and Innovation in STEM Education left the university.
Some centers' directors publicly blasted the cuts to university support when they were announced last year, including former Center for Policy Analysis director Clyde W. Barrow, who last spring resigned from both the position and as a professor at the university.
Barrow recently joined the political science department of the University of Texas-Pan American campus in Edinburg, Texas.
Barrow said that, based on communications he had received prior to tendering his resignation in April, the indication at the time was the centers had been scheduled to receive "additional cuts this year and next."
According to the university's report, the center last year saw a 24 percent reduction in university support, going from $234,667 in 2013 to $179,365 in 2014.
A university report outlining centers' budgets also shows that upon the appointment of a new director, Michael Goodman, in May, the center boosted its revenue stream from external sources by a little more than $302,000, bringing the center's total revenue to $684,723.
Goodman, whose background is in applied social science research, said obtaining outside funding is "fairly standard practice" and his prior research activity at the UMass Donahue Institute was "self-supported."
"It requires a degree of entrepreneurship, and an ability to partner with faculty and students who have unique skills who have capacity to do the work," Goodman said.
"I don't think one has to be a gun for hire in order to make it work," Goodman said. "The balancing act is as follows: Identify public issues of significance. Identify the projects that need to be done that have application in real world, and then identify potential sponsors."
Goodman said, in other cases, "we might be approached by sponsors. So some of it can be fee-for-service works."
Because the research is performed under a university name, "maintaining objectivity is paramount."
"If done properly, I think it can be done," Goodman said.
Longtime Center for Marketing Research director Nora Ganim Barnes said she believed some centers could face difficulties in securing outside funds because there may not always be funding that targets their centers' research areas.
"I think it may not be possible for all centers to be self-sustaining," Ganim Barnes said. "A lot of grant money is targeted money. Very often they want certain things studied. It's not that there's anything wrong with that. But when things are targeted, it just makes it more difficult."
Ganim Barnes confirmed that, despite previous fears of additional funding cuts, the center she heads will receive the same amount it had received last year in the upcoming school year.
According to a break down of that funding, the Center for Marketing Research received $91,005 in university appropriations this past year. In the year prior, 2013, it had received $121,190.
The reduction was mostly off-set by an increase in "external support," according to university documents. In fiscal 2013 the center received $71,885 in external funding. A year later it received $91,190. With both revenue streams accounted for its overall budget in 2014 ended up reduced by about 6 percent, just under $11,000.
When asked if the center will continue to seek more funds for self-sustenance, Ganim Barnes replied, "We will try."
"The plan is to continue as best we can to serve the business community and our students, to try to encourage collaborative works and internships," Ganim Barnes said. "Our center is really about bringing together the business community and our students to the best we can."

Judge nixes corruption plea for ex-Venice mayor
ROME (AP) — A judge has rejected a plea deal for the former mayor of Venice accused in a sweeping bribery investigation into the project to build underwater barriers to protect the lagoon city from flooding.
Ex-Mayor Giorgio Orsoni said Saturday he expected the four-month sentence offered by prosecutors would be rejected and welcomed the decision so he can defend himself.
Orsoni was among more than 30 people arrested earlier this month amid suspicions the consortium building the barriers amassed a 25-million-euro ($34 million) slush fund abroad to bribe officials. Orsoni was accused of accepting campaign contributions; he denies knowing the money was illegal.
The scandal is one of a handful of corruption investigations targeting major public works projects that prompted Premier Matteo Renzi to enhance the powers of his anti-corruption czar.

Marquette Law Receives $51 Million Donation from Alum for New Law School
May 04, 2007, 09:49:34 PM »
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel-May 4, 2007
Almost 60 years after graduating from Marquette University, a couple who made their fortune moving cargo up and down the Mississippi River will donate $51 million to the university, a gift that will launch construction of a new law school building.
The grant is believed to be the largest single gift by individuals to a Wisconsin university or college and one of the largest gifts on record to a law school in the United States.
The new $80 million law school building will be in a high-visibility location overlooking the Marquette Interchange, MU officials said Thursday. They hope to break ground on the four-story structure next spring and move in by fall 2009.
The donors are Raymond and Kathryn Eckstein, who live now in Boca Raton, Fla., but spend several months a year in Cassville, the small town in Grant County on the Mississippi River where he grew up and worked for many years. Raymond Eckstein, 81, launched and developed two businesses operating boats and barges that moved traffic on the Mississippi and other inland waterways.
Eckstein said Thursday that he was eager to do something for Marquette and he was now in a position where he could make a gift of this size.
"They do need a new law school," he said. "We wanted to make it a good contribution so it could spearhead this so they could get started on this right away."
Father Robert A. Wild, Marquette's president, said: "I think it certainly ensures that the much-needed project of building a new law school will be achieved, and will be achieved in style. More people will have to get involved, true, but we're energized. I also think it lifts people's sight and imagination about what Marquette is able to accomplish."
The new building is likely to become Marquette's most visible face for the public at large. At N. 11th and W. Clybourn streets, it will sit on open land at the northwest corner of the freeway interchange, which is one of Wisconsin's most heavily traveled pieces of roadway.
Law school Dean Joseph D. Kearney said the new building, expected to have 125,000 square feet of usable space, will offer twice the room of the current law school, located just north of the new site, and much better facilities for teaching.
He said it will also have an open feeling unusual for law schools and aimed at making the building a welcoming place for community-oriented programs. The design would be in line with a new effort by the law school to connect with the wider community and promote discussion of public issues, an initiative most noted for the hiring of former television anchorman Mike Gousha as a distinguished fellow with the school.
The exterior is expected to include a large, curving wall of glass and masonry, following the curve of the Marquette Interchange, that Kearney described as noble, bold, harmonious, dramatic and confident. There will be a large parking garage underneath the building.
The building will be named for the Ecksteins, as will the law library, which includes more than 300,000 volumes.
The new building recently received its first large gift, $1 million from the Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation.
Kearney said a campaign will begin soon to raise the remainder of what is needed for the building and funds to support the law school itself. The campaign goal is more than $100 million, including the $80 million for the building.
Wild said Sensenbrenner Hall, the building at N. 11th St. and W. Wisconsin Ave. that now houses much of the law school, would not be torn down, although its future use has not been decided.
The donors met at Marquette, where Raymond Eckstein received his bachelor's degree and law degree. He played on the Marquette basketball team in the mid-1940s.
Kathryn Eckstein grew up in Chicago and graduated with a degree in speech, her husband said.
Raymond Eckstein grew up in Cassville and returned there after graduating from Marquette Law School in 1949.
Started two companies
"The legal business in a small town wasn't that flourishing, so I had a lot of time on my hands," he recalled in an interview Thursday. He got involved in other business, and that grew into Wisconsin Barge Lines, which hauled cargo on the river. He sold that company in 1969 to a Chicago-based conglomerate, serving as president of the company until 1978.
Then he left to start a new company, Marquette Transportation Co. - named with both the university and the French explorer-priest in mind - which also owns boats and barges for moving freight on inland waterways. That company, now run by one of his sons, is based in Paducah, Ky.
Eckstein said he and his wife, who is 80, had led good lives, including having eight children, 28 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, and finding financial success.
"I feel a lot of it we owe to our upbringing and education at Marquette," he said.
The largest previous single gift to a university in Wisconsin was $50 million from John and Tashia Morgridge to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, announced a year ago. John Morgridge is the chairman of Cisco Systems Inc. In a separate gift in 2004, the Morgridges gave $31 million to the Madison campus.
Marquette has done very well in receiving mega-gifts in recent years.
In December, the university announced a $25 million grant from donors who wanted to remain anonymous to improve engineering education.
In May 2005, J. William and Mary Diederich unveiled plans to give Marquette's College of Communication $28 million. J. William Diederich was a top executive of the company that created the Weather Channel.
In 2004, the estate of Helen Way Klingler made a grant of $18 million.

Ivy Tech Opens Doors to Indiana's RV Industry
November 5, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Ivy Tech Opens Doors to Indiana's RV Industry
Amid several presentations by college officials, plenty of conversation and even a major announcement, Ivy Tech Community College recently hosted RV manufacturers and suppliers at Elcona Country Club in Elkhart, Ind.
According to a report by the South Bend Tribune, the informative session was to make sure the lines of communication were open for both sides so the college can better produce skilled workers to fill the needs of RV manufacturers and suppliers and facilitate the movement of students into such positions.
Ivy Tech also announced its plans to build a $14 million advanced manufacturing training center in Elkhart County by the end of 2014. It has already invested $1 million in a recent land purchase of 43 acres just north of the current Ivy Tech Elkhart County campus.
As various executives in the recreational vehicle industry took time to converse after hearing several presentations from the college, Tom Coley, chancellor at Ivy Tech, seemed pleased with the result.
"This is what it's all about," Coley said. "We can only be responsive if we have those lines of communication open. This is a very pivotal meeting for us."
Matt Bunner, vice president of operations at Robert Weed, a supplier to the RV industry, agreed.
"It's a good start," said Bunner, whose Bristol company supplies items such as shelves, doors, drawers and laminate finishes to RV manufacturers. "It informed a larger cross-section of the business community, of what's available at Ivy Tech, a listing of the fast-start accreditations that they've got and all the individual classes.
"I think a lot of eyes opened up today that 'wow, there's some opportunities out there that can really help my business,' " said Bunner, who serves on an industry advisory board at Ivy Tech.
Various classes offering certification were touted by the Ivy Tech staff in areas such as welding and CNC machining, to give but a few examples.

A £7m cash boost for the Science Vale Enterprise Zone could lead to more investment in the area, it has been claimed.
The money will pay for a 4,000 square metres highly specialised laboratory and bioscience innovation hub that will create 370 new jobs at Milton Park.
Culture minister and Wantage MP Ed Vaizey visited Milton Park yesterday to announce the investment.
He said: "Enterprise zones are at the centre of our long-term economic plans to build a stronger, more competitive business environment and a better future for Britain.
"This funding will give areas the infrastructure they need to attract more investment, support the growth of local businesses and create up to 3,000 jobs for hard-working people."
And Anna Robinson, strategic director at the Vale of White Horse District Council, said the money would create jobs and investment in Didcot Parkway station.
The money is part of a £100m investment which has been made to support critical business infrastructure in 12 enterprise zones around the country.
James Dipple, managing director of Milton Park, said: "The Government's contribution will help us provide exactly the type of environment which small and growing life science businesses desperately need, located in the heart of Milton Park's well established hub of 50 life science companies.
"Public-private partnerships such as this, with business investing alongside Government, create opportunities for local employment, national success and healthcare advances which will be used around the world."

Scissor Sisters - Touring the UK with Nord Stage 88
The Scissor Sisters will be touriing the UK this summer, and Dolphin Music have provided a Nord Stage 88 for the glamourous New York band.
Featuring the best of Clavia's award-winning technologies, the Nord Stage hosts three different instrument sections - Organ, Piano and Synth - plus an extensive effects section. You can use two sounds of each Section simultaneously - that's two Organ manuals, two Synths, and two Pianos. These can be combined in any split or layered configuration you need for your performance.
The Stage's user interface is designed from a basic concept: All vital functions are represented on the front panel - easy to access, and never further away than a press of a single button. After more than 20 years of experience in designing instruments to be used by professional musicians, we know how important it is to make the technology completely transparent for the user. With the Nord Stage you only need to focus on your performance, which means never having to struggle with the technology.
And, of course, the Nord Stage pianos look great! How could the colourful Scissor Sisters go for anything else?
You can catch the Scissor Sisters (and hear the Nord Stage 88 in action!) at the following dates:
- 7th July - Oxegen Festival, Dublin, Ireland
- 8th July - T In The Park, Kinross, Scotland

Bank Job, The (US - BD RA)
Gabe gathers the crew for one of Jason Statham's most adult aimed features...
Terry (Jason Statham), a small-time crook on his way out of the business of crime, is offered an easy heist by an old friend and lover (Saffron Burrows). Terry assembles a motley crew of low-rung criminals, and goes about pulling off the bank job. But unknown to any of them, the true purpose behind the robbery will stick them deep into hock with ruthless mobsters, corrupt police, and dangerous government officials at the highest level.
It's nice to see Statham taking a trip half back to his Guy Ritchie beginnings, but with a post-Matthew Vaughn adult tone. This film is flippant and lively, but not gleefully childish like Lock Stock or Snatch (not that there is a thing wrong with either of those films or their styles). The 'based on a true story' bit helps keep things from getting too outré (much like Vaughn's debut Layer Cake). The dialogue is still whip smart, but it isn't too flowerily, and the characters are only a couple inches larger then real life.
I didn't recognize director Rodger Donaldson's name, and assumed that based on The Bank Job's energy, vigour, and, well, virility he was some kind of next gen, music video trained upstart, but he was the guy behind enjoyably brain-dead tripe like Species and Dante's Peak, genuine class like World's Fastest Indian and Thirteen Days, and vomitus trash like Cocktail and The Getaway remake. I probably should've remembered his name because he also directed the bland yet effective The Recruit. Based on his filmography, we know Donaldson is a work horse, but he's only as good as his script, and he often lacks an original voice or flare. For this film he gets a boost from the real story's time period and setting—early 1970s London.
The Bank Job is a very fun time, but apparently real life looks a bit like an average Hollywood heist flick. The film doesn't really have a twist, it just sort of turns into a different kind of movie about half way through, which was enough to keep me watching with a smile, but not enough to make me drool for a second viewing. In fact, the focus on the post-heist actions, getting away with the 'bank job', is rather in-keeping with the Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn Brit-flicks. This movie isn't special because it's based on a true story, because the story is like all the other stories (though I have to admit that the fact that this happened does add some tang to the flavour), this movie is special because it's well written and acted, and because Donaldson knows how to shoot a camera.
I actually expected a grainier look for the film, based on my preconception of period and cockney crime films. This full 1080p, 2.35:1 transfer is pretty spotless overall (with the exception of some of the darker scenes), likely due to the source material's digital origin. There're no jagged edges, blocky noise or enhancement around here, though the actual detail isn't quite as sharp as other digital source discs I've seen (meaning only that I couldn't see every grain of dirt or facial pore). The colour schemes and production are generally life-like. There's definite vibrancy, but there's no super-stylish pop. Some of the brightest warm colours bleed a tiny bit. Black levels are mostly deep, though I wouldn't call most of them true black, and some of the brightest reflections, even off of skin, are a bit too edgy.
My system does downgrade the DTS Master Audio a tad, but even barring that, and the missing two channels of the 7.1, I can say that this is a successful and full blooded track, at least considering the generally realistic production of the mix. I'm not very impressed with J. Peter Robinson's rather generic score, but it does maintain presence throughout the stereo and surround channels almost the entire film. There are some lively and crisp action effects, and the roar of the jackhammer is big without distortion, but for the most part this is a music and dialogue centric track, with effectively tight bass and clear sound at varying volume levels.
Our disc begins with a commentary featuring director Roger Donaldson, actress Saffron Burrows and composer J. Peter Robinson. The track is pretty lethargic, as if the information is being forced from the participants at gun point, especially on Donaldson's part, but it is informative. I actually learned a bit (the 'female fur' was almost all fake), though not a whole lot about the true story, as I assumed I would. The lethargy ebbs and flows a bit (Burrows has a few fun interjections), but listening to it was a chore overall.
'Inside The Bank Job' talks a little more about the original robbery, but mostly in how it led to the film's production. Apparently the film was originally conceived around the time of the actually robbery, but was put into production purely as a vehicle for Statham. The featurette is built like a basic EPK, but the various elements of the film are explored in a more detail than normal. In the end these seventeen minutes are more about talking up the film rather than talking about the film, but it works alright.
'The Baker Street Bank Raid' is a welcomed historical look at the robbery that inspired the film. The classy featurette is packed with footage from the film, but it also features some meaty historical footage, photos and sound clips, and some top interviews with experts. The mini-doc is pretty speedy (only fifteen minutes), but still takes the time to put the story into the appropriate context, for all us non-Britons that have no idea about the differences of certain areas of London during the 1960s and '70s. The film's entire character drama is made up, but the basic facts of the robbery are correct. The grey area comes with all the political drama, which I'll avoid going into for spoiler purposes.
This is followed by a series of deleted and extended scenes, presented in hi-def and un-scored stereo, with optional Donaldson, Robinson and Burrows commentary. These aren't presented as separate chapter stops, just as one long reel, running about six minutes. Most of the cuts are very, very short, and they were all trimmed to keep the plot moving. None of the scenes really offer anything to the plot or characters. Things end with a bunch of Lionsgate trailers. For those of you interested in soon to be obsolete technology, the set's second disc is a digital copy of the film.
I'm actually a little disappointed in The Bank Job overall based on its critical pedigree, but all in all this is a solid film, with a nicely realistic performance from Statham. Jason's fans really should be seeing it. I was really hoping for an English Dog Day Afternoon, but the suspense, humour, characters, and drama aren't up to that level of perfection. Perhaps I was expecting too much, but all I've got here is a largely entertaining and modest thriller.

good rev. Gabe.....
i'd rate it a bit highr (7/10)....belive it's the best Statham role so far.

It was a tv movie at best, with some swearing and nudity thrown in. Not impressed.

I know I sound like a complainer right but I'm trying to prove a point. Lionsgate features little to no extras on a DVD. Look at how many DVD's they've ripped us off with extras:
The eye (2-disc)
Tyler Perry's Meet the browns (2-disc)
Bone eater
Skinned alive
Saw (widescreen single disc)
... and more!

I really enjoyed The Bank Job. A very solid heist flick with Mr. Statham getting a real good role to play beyond his usual action stuff.
lionel Member Join Date: June 2008 Location: United States Posts: 162
Movie was decent.
Nice to see Jason Statham in something that isn't a complete waste of time.
If you haven't seen it, I would give it a rent. Not really worthy of a buy at 20 bucks.

No, he or she is not alone. Hardly. You're the one in the minority here. This is Statham's best reviewed film. I would like to see him doing more movies like this and not junk like "Transporter 2".

I am with Rob Clark and YlowBstd66. I loved this film. I thought it was a refreshing old style heist film. No fancy c**p. No over the top theatrics. It was a good old heist film like the ones in the 1970s. Statham was solid, yet I am a sucker for a great action movie. This is a Blu Buy for me.

Report: Turkish jets strike Kurdish rebel targets; PM Erdogan urges calm at funerals
- Image 1 of 3
- Image 2 of 3
- Image 3 of 3
ANKARA, Turkey – Turkish jets have struck suspected Kurdish rebel targets in a cross-border raid in northern Iraq, Turkish and Kurdish media reported Tuesday, even as Turkey started peace talks with the rebels' imprisoned leader.
The private Dogan news agency, citing unnamed sources, said four F-16 jets fired at 12 targets of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, on Mount Qandil, on the Iraqi-Iranian border, late on Monday. It did not report any casualties.
There was no official confirmation of the raid, which was also reported by Firat news, a website close to the rebels.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, meanwhile, urged Kurds for calm at the funeral later this week of three Kurdish activists who were found shot dead in Paris.
Some have speculated that the killings of the three women activists, including a founding member of the PKK, may be an effort to derail the talks with Abdullah Ocalan, the rebels' leader who is serving a life term in prison on an island near Istanbul.
The victims are set to be buried in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast on Thursday. Turkey fears the funerals could turn into a show of support for the PKK — which could, in turn, trigger a nationalist backlash against dialogue.
"(Some) want to dynamite the peace process that we have started," Erdogan said in a speech to his party's legislators in Parliament. "We must not allow this."
Talks with Ocalan are aimed at persuading the PKK to disarm and end the conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives since 1984.
Interior Minister Idris Naim Sahin said last week that operations against the PKK would continue "until the rebels are no longer in a position to attack," despite the peace talks.
The PKK is considered a terrorist organization by Turkey and its U.S. and EU allies.

I think these are minor differences in the big picture. By far the biggest factor in the output color response is the spectral transmission of the Bayer color filters. As far as color reproduction goes (*), I've measured some CCDs with great spectral transmission curves and other CCDs with not-so-great ones. The same with CMOS sensors. Eric(*) i.e., getting a good match on the so-called Luther-Ives condition
And of course, a variation of that is the triple CCD in some video cameras
As far as the sensor is concerned, the important factor (as noted above by others) in color reproduction is not the density of the color filters (or their spatial arrangement in a mosaic pattern such as Bayer), but rather the shapes of the transmission curves and how they relate to each other.
But then each photon is counted (at least in theory). For bayer and color wheel solutions, only e.g. 1/3rd of the photons hitting the sensor during the total exposure time is counted, the rest is absorbed in spectral bandpass filters.
Not sure about thathttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dichroic-prism.svghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:A_3CCD_imaging_block.jpgI'd don't have a well defined opinion on the efficiency of splitting vs filtering, but I am under the impression the sensors in a 3CCD or 3MOS cameras don't get all the photons. If they did, it would be a mess to colour balance imho.
As far as the sensor is concerned, the important factor (as noted above by others) in color reproduction is not the density of the color filters (or their spatial arrangement in a mosaic pattern such as Bayer), but rather the shapes of the transmission curves and how they relate to each other. Ideally from a color perspective, you'd want the transmission curves to be the same as the human cone responses (in the eye) or a linear transformation thereof. But there is a tradeoff in terms of color vs noise, and of course there are other practical constraints due to materials, manufacturing, costs, etc., so in practice this technical condition is not satisfied. as I mentioned earlier, this is rather a separate issue from the choice of CCD vs CMOS.
An example of these tradeoffs is discussed in the DXO paper comparing the Nikon D5000 with the Canon EOS 500D. The Canon has poor color depth due the characteristics of its CFA filters. The problem lies mainly in the Red CFA filter, which is actually more sensitive to green rather than red as shown below. This necessitates a large coefficient in the color matrix, which adds noise. In contrast, the Nikon has a better red response and a greater color depth.
Do you think that this is a trade-off of achromatic SNR vs color noise, or sensor cost/performance vs color noise?-h
The article states, "This comparison is a bit surprising with respect to the previous SNR 18% results. Why such a difference? Color sensitivity is impacted by noise curves and spectral responses. If SNR curves are close, most of the divergence observed must be due to a difference in spectral sensitivities, which implies very different color processing for each sensor."I conclude that the difference is largely due to color noise.Regards,Bill
I should have phrased my question differently. Given that Canon have less spectrally selective CFA than Nikon, and thereby a color correction matrix that is more different from the identity matrix and more color-noise prone:-Did they do this because they think that having wider filters, passing more photons, gives them an advantage when shooting spectrally broad/flat scenes-Or does Canon have a sensor with a disadvantage in the first place, and spectrally wide filters used to hide its flawsOr perhaps this is a feature to the silicon process that Canon use, linked perhaps to micro lenses etc?I have heard that Sony alpha DSLRs have a radically different philosophy (closer to the standard CIE observer, at the cost of more noise)?-h
Hi,I guess that Canon seeks better high ISO performance and therefore has more overlap between the filters in the CGA. But, that is just a guess.Best regardsErik
It seems that multi channel dichroic prisms are, in theory at least, better than wideband RGB filters, in the sense that there are no holes, spikes, overlaps, etc... in the transmission band. The incoming light is split, you characterize it and that's it. I guess this could also allow for different distances for the three focal planes to compensate for chromatic aberration.http://www.optec.eu/eng/multichannel/1194.htmhttp://www.firstlightoptics.com/rgb-filters-filter-sets/baader-lrgbc-ccd-filter-set.htmlBut in practice, I have only worked with wide and narrow band filters and therefore will try to keep my foot out of my mouth, waiting for someone more competent in those matters to eventually jump in ;-)
I think there is still one important area that CMOS can not approach CCD's quality: uniformity.

Like any device that contains moving parts, most computers require some general maintenance to help make them perform to their optimum capability. Depending on the environment where the system is placed, periodic cleaning may be required to prevent system failure due to overheating.
It is recommended that systems be kept in a clean area free of dust, fur and other contaminants that can obstruct the ventilation of the computer. Heat is always the biggest threat to the system, and most computer have cooling systems (active or passive) to dissipate heat to protect the system components. The central processing unit (CPU) and the graphics processing unit (GPU) are the 2 components that generate the most heat. Other devices that generate heat are the power supply unit (PSU) and hard disk drives (HDD). (Figure 1 & 2)
Figure 1
Figure 2
You should periodically inspect your system and clean it as needed based on the ambient conditions of the location.
Using portable system on a blanket, pillow, or other type of cloth may cover the fan grills blocking the airflow that cools the system. This can lead to overheating and could cause permanent damage. (Figure 3)
Figure 3
We recommend using the Laptop computer on a hard, flat, non-cloth surface which will help increase the airflow and reduce heat from underneath and inside the system.
Clean the system as needed. There are some indicators that a system may need cleaning.
Some of the tools you may need to clean you system
When ready to clean the system, it should be powered off and unplugged. If you are cleaning a portable system then also remove system battery. Once all power sources are removed, press and hold the power button for 15 seconds (this will discharge any stored power in capacitors built in the system reducing the chance of static electricity damaging system components
While wearing an anti-static strap, on desktop/Tower systems, remove the cover/side access panel to access the internal components. If there is a removable shroud for the CPU heat sink, remove it, if not then use the canned compressed air to clean out any accumulated dust in the heat sinks of the CPU GPU and the PSU. Then clean the fans, with gentle puffs of compressed air.
Portable systems, may have a bottom cover that can be removed by the user (See the system manual onDell Support). Removing the bottom cover allows easier access to the heat sinks. Again, using short puffs of air clean the air vents and the CPU/GPU heat sinks of any dirt, dust or debris.
As systems are produced, there is a constant process of re-evaluation and improvement. In computers one of the ways that system performance is improved is by updating the BIOS micro code. These updates make changes to the system performance based on customer feedback and engineering evaluations to improve performance. Check Dell Support for the latest BIOS release and update the system when new versions are available.

If this show gets a dub, I really want Johnny Yong Bosch to voice Riki Naoe, and Sandy Fox to voice the loli Kud Noumi. But I'll save that in another thread.

IIRC it was only the game localization that they don't like doing. And IIRC there's some sort of opening the company's doing to see if there's interest in localizing the games. A lot of the fansub sites had posts on it.

That's not "we don't want to localize our games", which I would get because that takes time and money. That's "we don't want people outside of Japan to play our games, and we will do what we can to prevent that".
So that's why I was surprised.

I think they want to expand everything into other markets. I don't see anything being very offensive in Rewrite as opposed to Planetarian, so the Japan only message is kind of strange, maybe they have to conform to product region rules or something and they inadvertently put that asinine message in to try to explain that...

So afaik this whole issue has nothing to do with Key, it has to do with Visual Arts contradicting themselves.
And, I would not call the problem just "xenophobia". It's much deeper than that. I understood it before, but now it's just getting stupid.
Also the message and block occurs in the very last games on the older Reallive engine, so it's not just a new Siglus "feature". Visual Arts, their programmers, can take out that "feature" at any time, or at least issue patches that disable it, if they wanted to. And until they do or present a reason for trying to chase away non-Japanese customers past the eroge fiasco of, what, 2008 or 2009?, I'm going to wonder wtf is going on with them.
You can contact me if you want to know more. Kind of a dead horse by now, but it may put things in some more perspective.
Back on topic I hope we get a Blu Ray release. Dub would be even sweeter, since apparently Sentai usually reserves BD releases for dubs?
Last edited by Kudryavka; 2013-02-05 at 04:06. Reason: well, it was technically about eroge only, but some VN companies are also acting like there is witch hunt for them too...

Few things I want to point out:
-Little Busters! was confirmed to be getting a English dub at Anime Expo with a November release.
-Sentai Filmworks also confirmed that they managed to get Blu-Ray rights for Little Busters! (also for November)

Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center has appointed Alicia Scott, RN, MSN, ANP-C, clinical coordinator of its state-designated Stroke Center effective immediately.
Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Vijay Bojedla announced the appointment.
Scott, pictured, completed her licensed practical nurse training and a subsequent associate's degree in registered nursing at Niagara County Community College. She later earned both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science/Adult Nurse Practitioner degrees at Daemen College.
Scott, who holds board certification through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, joined the medical center's staff in 2006 as a registered nurse on the telemetry unit. As a nurse practitioner, she has worked on the hospitalist service and, for the past two years, with Stroke Center Medical Director Dr. Nyathappa Anand, the head of Memorial's division of neurology.

Swimmers from seven high schools crowded UNCW�s diving pool on a late-January evening, angling for a clear look at the board. Above, the parents who packed the natatorium�s metal bleachers turned that way, too.
Swimmers from seven high schools crowded UNCW�s diving pool on a late-January evening, angling for a clear look at the board. Above, the parents who packed the natatorium�s metal bleachers turned that way, too.
Maddie Black had previously competed in two meets this winter, both times well before the swimming started with only a handful of spectators present. Now the Mideastern Conference took a break from its championship meet to make the Topsail High School diver the center of attention.
Black later acknowledged nerves as she stepped onto the board for the first of her six dives, but each time she hit the water, the crowd broke into appreciative applause.
�Knowing that everyone was excited made me more excited,� Black said.
The N.C. High School Athletic Association has contested 1-meter diving in conjunction with its state swim meets for more than four decades, but athletes from this area have rarely, if ever, taken part.
Black became the first diver in recent memory to compete at the Mideastern Conference meet, and she headed to Raleigh on Monday for the 3A East region meet. She also swam the 200 individual medley on Tuesday in Cary.
Black began diving during her freshman year of high school in Massachusetts, but she�s ramped up her training over the past three months through the fledgling Wilmington Dive Club to learn the 11 dives necessary to compete at regionals.
As the club�s only high school competitor, Black works two days per week with coach Shana Dege. Last week, she added her final dive, an inward flip that requires her to start backward, facing the board.
�She�s really motivated,� said Dege, who dove at the University of New Hampshire. �She kind of has to be. She doesn�t really have anyone else to feed off of.�
Black had competed in a few high school diving competitions and even taken private lessons before her family relocated to Pender County.
Last winter, Black focused solely on swimming for the Pirates, but she jumped at the chance to get back on the board as a junior.
�I really did miss it,� Black said.
The only local indoor diving facility is at UNCW. Beau Bunn, the Seahawks� coach, started the youth club last year with his son Jason, now 12, as the first diver. It has grown to include about 15 divers who compete year-round.
Because of NCAA recruiting rules, Bunn can�t coach high school athletes, so Dege took charge of Black�s training. When she restarted, Black was understandably rusty. They started with the basics and built her repertoire quickly.
The sessions usually start on a harnessed trampoline that allows Black to simulate the diving fundamentals suspended in air, but most of their two hours is spent on the board.
�Now I�m just cleaning everything up,� Black said.
At the region meet, Black will have to perform 11 different dives for two judges. The top eight scorers will advance to the state meet. Divers are disqualified if they fail to complete more than one of their dives. Black�s main goal is to make it through her complete list.
Points earned in diving go toward the total team score, so adding divers would be a way for local squads to be more competitive at the region and state level. The top divers have traditionally come from the Raleigh and Charlotte areas, where there are well-established clubs.
�Those points count,� said Hoggard coach Tammy Pruden, whose teams have combined for 27 Mideastern Conference titles in the past 15 years. �The schools that don�t have diving are definitely held back a little bit when it comes to regionals and states.�
Black hopes the scene at the Mideastern Conference championships will encourage others to join her. Despite the pressure, she recorded her personal best score for the six-dive set.
Afterward, several swimmers from other teams asked how to get started in the sport. Black plans to stick with it next season and would be glad for company at her practices.
�You just have to try it,� Black said. �I�m scared a lot of times at practice because I�m trying new dives. You�re worried about hitting the board or smacking the water. That�s part of it. I�m hoping some more people do just give it a try.�

ASUS continues to go all out on the tablet market. Their 10.1″ Transformer Prime TF200T tablet was released back in December as the first quad-core Tegra 3 tablet on the market, and since then they've announced the 10.1″ Transformer Prime 700T (complete with HD resolution and other enhancements), and the 7″ MeMO 370T, which will bring 7″ and quad-core processing for $249.
While ASUS has continued to sell the original Transformer tablet it released in 2011, it's reign as ASUS' entry-level 10″ tablet may soon be reaching its end. ASUS has announced at Mobile World Congress the Transformer Pad 300, a 10″ tablet geared toward the lower-end of the 10″ market.
The Transformer Pad 300 is a scaled down version of the Transformer Prime tablets, with a 10″ IPS display instead of the IPS+ (600 nits) display found on the Prime, and offering 16GB of storage instead of the 32 or 64 GB varieties of Transformer Prime. The innards are largely the same, with a Tegra 3 processor, 8MP rear/2MP front camera, 1GB RAM, 1280 x 800 resolution atop Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The build will be a bit thicker than the Transformer Prime line of tablets, and offers the same 10 hours of battery as it's older brethren.
Assuming the Transformer Pad 300 will land at the same price point currently found in the OG Transformer tablet (say $350 – $400 range), the Pad 300 could become the 10″ tablet for the budget-conscious. We'll be trying to get our hands on the Transformer Pad 300 in the coming days to give you a feel for how it compares to the current Transformer Prime tablet, and to see if we can get any word on pricing and availability out of ASUS.
Would you consider a Transformer Pad 300 if it sold for $350 – $400?

It may generally be impossible to tell who is lying, but it's not impossible to tell if he's lying. Clearly, he's either lying now, was lying in September, or both.Everyone I know with that many interviews at big law salaries is at a top 10 school. Everyone I know with interviews sent their cover letters as e-mail attachments. (That's what I did, and I have big law -- or mid law at market -- interviews.) So no need to encourage people at lower-tiered schools that if they just send out more letters they'll get a big law job. At some point in the next few weeks, they should start exploring other opportunities. You may have a special resume (and I don't know why you'd send a personal statement to an employer), but the top three deciding factors for interviews at this point are networking, where you go to school and grades. Every firm will openly tell you that.
well, right. i just meant to shed some insight regarding my experience, not decide if whoever was lying or not.

In one of racing's most picturesque settings, the 2014 season for the Verizon IndyCar Series opens this weekend with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
ABC will have a live telecast of the event on Sunday, March 30, with pre-race at 3 p.m. ET. The green flag will fly at 3:27 p.m.
The race will be run on a 14-turn, 1.8-mile temporary racing circuit that includes St. Petersburg city streets as well as part of an airport. With the Florida city's skyline and adjacent Tampa Bay providing a scenic backdrop, the stars of the Verizon IndyCar Series will race for 110 laps.
The new season looks to be one of IndyCar's most intriguing with a deep and competitive field of drivers and cars.
Motorsports broadcasting veteran Allen Bestwick will begin his first season as ESPN on ABC's lead announcer for the IndyCar Series at St. Petersburg, joined in the booth for analysis by former series drivers Scott Goodyear and Eddie Cheever. Goodyear is starting his 13th season as an analyst and Cheever his seventh.
The coverage team at St. Petersburg also will include pit reporters Rick DeBruhl, Jamie Little and Vince Welch. Terry Lingner will produce the telecast and Bruce Watson will direct.
The popular "Side-by-Side" feature, used in IndyCar Series telecasts since first introduced by ESPN in 2005, will continue in 2014. During national commercial breaks, a split screen format showing the advertisement on one side and racing action on the other allows viewers to not miss anything that might happen on the track during the break.
ESPN will produce telecasts of four additional Verizon IndyCar Series races this season on ABC, including the May 25 Indianapolis 500 that will air on ABC for the 50th consecutive year, as well as the inaugural IndyCar Series race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course on May 10. ABC also will televise the new-format Indianapolis 500 qualifications May 17-18 and two races from Detroit's Belle Isle circuit May 31-June 1.
In addition to television in the United States on ABC, ESPN also distributes Verizon IndyCar Series race telecasts through a combination of ESPN networks and syndication to more than 197 countries and 96 million homes. In addition, U.S. troops serving overseas and on Navy vessels around the world can watch live via a broadcast agreement between ESPN and the American Forces Network.

I enjoyed judging the Mardi Gras parade at The Village of Baytowne Wharf on Tuesday. Loads of fun. I saw Charles and Robin Wiesneth, Tresha Brown, Donna Burgess, Connie Yarbro, Bob and Carol Saucier, and Alden Lagasse there. The king cake from KaraBoo Bakery was delectable.
Last Sunday was full of activity in South Walton.
The day kicked off with the Seaside School Half Marathon & 5K Run at 7 a.m. Jimbo Holloway, Kelly Buzzett, Shaye Smith, Stephanie Burke, Wendy Morgan, Carol Stovski, Michelle Fillingim, and Sharon Thompson were some locals who completed the race. It was Jimbo's first.
That afternoon, The Village of Baytowne Wharf hosted its Mardi Gras Parade for dogs, which got a mention in the Birmingham News. David and Judi Bludworth, Carol and Bob Saucier, Joyce Hoye, Kris Johnson, Connie Yarbro, and James Murray were some who attended.
While Jon and Teri Vice went to Mardi Gras in Mobile, Andrew and Jennifer McAlexander, Malayne and Robert DeMars, and Patrick and Christi Ferry let the good times roll at Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
Before the race and the dogs, John Stasko celebrated the one-year anniversary of having a new knee with a small cocktail party at his Gulf Place home. Bob Johnson, Gena and Ron Bolton, Ron Green and Lisa Morris, Bev and Greg Schmitt, Keith and RoseAnn Knight, Earl and Carol Foster, Wally and Shirley Weisenborn enjoyed last Friday night.
I hear that last weekend's Emerald Coast Children Advocacy Center's Kieran May Memorial Golf & Gala Weekend was a huge success. Geoff McBride was presented with the Kieran May Award for his work for child abuse victims. Amy Rogers, Michael Thompson, Cory Fosdyck, Jim and Tammy Pierce, Tom and Dana Saffel, and Hank White were some who attended.
Kent and Peggy Lillie dined at Fat Clemenza's last Saturday night and saw several people they knew. "It was the place to be," said Peggy. Beverly and Greg Schmitt, Pam and George Hattaway, Lorre and Jack McDonald, and Mary and Richard Byrd were there. Dom stayed busy greeting all his guests.
Lauren Magli, Jamie McIntosh, and Shaye Smith attended YP@The Beach Networking After Hours last week at Tommy Bahama's Tropical Cafe.
Stephen Marlette and Harriet Crommelin are back from the Big Apple.
Nan Jacobs is back from Birmingham.
Robin Wiesneth, Didon Comer, and Susan Lucas are going to attend Springmaid art workshops at Myrtle Beach in April.
The Trailways Annual Conference will be held at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort March 9-11. More than 250 Trailways company owners, their families and industry leaders are expected.
Special Forces soldiers and their families gathered to learn the �5 Love Languages� during a three-day retreat held at Sandestin Resort that began Feb. 14. This Strong Bonds program helped soldiers and spouses of the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), many whom experienced multiple combat deployments in recent years, understand how to thrive in their marriages and resolve problems using Dr. Gary Chapman�s �5 Love Languages� book.
Congratulations to Aaron Jackson, who was interviewed by National Geographic.
Charlie's Donuts at Alys Beach got a writeup in the Auburn Plainsman.
Condolences are expressed to the family of Mary Papciak in her passing.
Get well quick wishes go out to Bobby Beene.
If you're out and about Saturday and see Kerrie Thompson, Suzanne Preston-Blakeman, The Donut Hole's Laurie Tate, and artist Ari Zalace, wish them a "happy birthday."
On Sunday, send greetings to yoga-lady Bridgette Lowe and artist Laura Holthoff.
Monday to Sylvia Kocour, Michelle Tommey, Joyce Russell and artist Debbie Weant.
Tuesday to Shari Trejo and Dr. Phil Benton.
Thursday to Susan Snider, Chip Peay, and Jerome De'Eramo.
And Friday to Nancy McCullen.

In January, Eli Baker was a sixth-grader in Glastonbury, playing on soccer and lacrosse teams and auditioning for stage, film and television roles.
Two months later, the 11-year-old was filming a NBC television pilot, "Growing Up Fisher," that will be a midseason series to be launched after the Winter Olympics in February.
This week he meets the press to promote the show, then return for a relative period of calm while adjusting to seventh grade, before heading to Los Angeles Dec. 2 where he will spend four months filming the first season's episodes.
The series has a solid showbiz pedigree: Jason Bateman ("Arrested Development") as executive...

State of Rhode Island
Department of Health
Mercury can only be found in fish through laboratory analysis. Mercury contamination is dangerous. Mercury cannot be "cooked out" of the fish.
Canned tuna typically contains lower levels of mercury than frozen or fresh tuna. Light tuna typically contains lower levels of mercury than white (albacore) tuna. Avoid eating bass, pike, tilefish, king mackerel fish, and pickerel. Swordfish, shark, bluefish, striped bass, and freshwater fish (with the exception of stocked trout) that are caught in Rhode Island should also not be eaten. Although mercury levels in bluefish and striped bass are low, the Food and Drug Administration cautions against eating these fish because of the presence of other contaminants known as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs. Limit black crappie and eel consumption to one meal per month. Eat smaller fish and vary the types of fish that you eat.
Given the effects of mercury exposure on some fetuses, pregnant women and women who are planning pregnancies are particularly advised to not eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish. However, seafood can be an important part of a balanced diet for pregnant women and women who may become pregnant. Such women can eat up to 12 ounces a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are low in mercury (a typical serving size for fish is three to six ounces). Some common fish that are low in mercury include shrimp, light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should eat no more that six ounces of tuna per week.
