Former RUC man still 'holds key' in Sgt Joe Campbell murder
The old man pictured here is still the No.1 suspect in the mysterious Sergeant Joe Campbell murder case, the Sunday World has been told.
He is Charlie McCormick – a former RUC Special Branch officer – who once stood trial for the shocking killing of the popular police officer.
McCormick was acquitted of the crime but re-arrested and quizzed in connection with the murder five years ago.
After studying a file on the matter for four years, the DPP decided not to proceed with a case against McCormick.
Yesterday, a former RUC officer who served in Co. Antrim alongside both Campbell and McCormick, told the Sunday World: "Charlie McCormick holds the key to the unsolved murder of Sgt. Joe Campbell.
"He is still the main suspect in the case and I'll never understand why a decision was taken not to proceed with a second trial."
He added: "If Charlie McCormick doesn't appear in court for this, then no-one else will. He is still the No.1 suspect."
On Friday, the Police Ombudsman's Office published its report into Sgt. Campbell's murder. It was 12 years in preparation and it was heavily criticised by the murdered man's widow Rosemary who insisted it fell short "because it does not contain the full account of the murder which I had hoped for."
Charlie McCormick wasn't named in the Ombudsman's report, although there are clear references to him standing trial for the murder.
UVF serial killer Robin 'The Jackal' Jackson was named, as were McCormick's RUC colleagues, John Weir and Billy McCaughey, both later convicted in connection with the murder of Ahoghill shopkeeper William Strathearn.
However, the document stops short of naming anyone as the gunman who pulled the trigger when Joe Campbell was shot.
A 49-year-old father of eight, Joe Campbell was well known and liked in the Glens of Antrim where he had served for many years.
He was hit by a rifle shot to the head as he locked up Cushendall RUC Station on February 25 1977.
Joe Campbell had told senior officers that he suspected McCormick and one of his republican informants were involved in serious crime including armed robbery.
In his report Police Ombudsman Dr Michael Maguire said Sgt. Campbell's death was 'preventable'.
He said there was "sufficient reliable evidence" that the then head of Special Branch and probably the Chief Constable "were aware of concerns which had been documented about the threat to his life and had failed to act on them"
Although he was acquitted of Sgt. Campbell's murder, Charlie McCormick was given a 20 year sentence in 1982 for armed robberies, hijackings, possession of explosives and a rifle used in a bank heist.
It was alleged in court, that McCormick had carried out the lengthy catalogue of crime alongside IRA man Tony O'Doherty.
The IRA man told the court that McCormick said to him: "Campbell is on to us, he has to go."
McCormick became O'Doherty's police handler after persuading the Portglenone republican to work for him as a police 'tout' and Special Branch double agent inside the IRA.
Sgt. Joe Campbell
Even though he was already serving an 18 year sentence for terrorist crime, Tony O'Doherty became the chief Crown witness against McCormick.
Two years later, McCormick had his convictions for armed robbery and other charges quashed when the case was referred to the Court of Appeal.
And although he walked from court a free man, he was later dismissed from his job as an RUC Special Branch detective.
In 2009, a full 32 years after the murder, McCormick then 72 and in ill health, was re-arrested and questioned once more about the Campbell killing.
The move against the former Special Branch man came shortly after the law on double jeopardy was changed to allow the authorities to pursue for a second time a suspect already acquitted of murder.
Shortly before he was detained the Sunday World revealed the bungalow McCormick shared with his second wife Roberta in Gracehill, Co. Antrim, had been the the focus of a sophisticated listening system based in Scotland.
Before marrying McCormick in 1995, Roberta Gray, a local school teacher, had been romantically linked with McCormick for many years.
During his trial for the murder of Sgt. Campbell, Roberta Gray gave alibi evidence to the court on McCormick's behalf.
When the Sunday World caught up with McCormick in the garden of his Gracehill home we asked him if he expected to be re-arrested in connection with his former police colleague's murder.
The ex-Special Branch officer replied: " I'm not saying anything. I could say plenty, but I'm not going to at the moment.
When pressed to reveal whether he believed Robin Jackson was Campbell's killer, McCormick replied: "Go and ask Joe's family. Everyone knows that – they knew that 25 years ago.
"I could tell you things that would make the hair on your head stand up."
McCormick continued: "Joe Campbell was a decent man. Thanks be to God, the Campbells sat with me in my front room and I told them that."
He added: "Joe Campbell shouldn't have been killed in the way he was."
Shortly after the Sunday World confronted Charlie McCormick he was arrested and taken in for questioning.
For the second time a file on McCormick's alleged involvement in the Campbell murder was prepared and forwarded to the Public Prosecution Service which considered the matter for four years, before deciding not to pursue the case.

I've been car free for over a year now, doing the same basic short (8 mile rt) commute every day for five days a week plus a longer trip for supplies on the weekend. I get about one day off the bike a week, but my routes are far from the most brutal. The commute has a canyon I have to go down and come up both directions, and that gets tiring. But what I can't understand is why no matter how much stronger I get I'm STILL sore just about all the time. I take basic supplements for the joints and vitamins and eat a high protein, high fruit diet. I don't think I'm wanting for anything in that respect. I've started doing a little more hatha yoga stretching and while that does help eliminate low back spasms and knee pain--along with any periodic sprains or strains--it doesn't seem to do anything to stop the general muscle soreness.
I'm at my wits end, and tired of being exhausted. Any and all suggestions, no matter how crazy, would be welcome. Thanks!

Oklahoma City Thunder: Ronnie Brewer's pedigree, defense important for OKC
On the day that Sam Presti pulled the trigger, if not pulled one over, on the deal with New York that brought Ronnie Brewer to town, the Thunder general manager immediately pointed out the decorated history of his team's newest perimeter defender.
"More impressive to us is the fact that he's played for some organizations that we really have a lot of respect for," Presti said.
One by one, players began repeating a similar message.
"He learned how to play defense under Jerry Sloan so he has a pretty good pedigree to him," said Thunder guard Kevin Martin.
Brewer finally made it to town after the Thunder acquired him Thursday in exchange for what could be the last pick in the 2014 draft. He sat on the bench in a sport coat Sunday against Chicago, one of his former teams, and received a warm welcome from his newest fans when introduced midway through the opening period.
Before the game, Brewer talked a little business, specifically his prized pedigree.
He was drafted by Utah with the 14th overall pick in 2006. He spent 3 1/2 seasons with the Jazz under Sloan before being traded to Memphis. The following offseason, he signed with the Bulls as a free agent and played the next two seasons under coach Tom Thibodeau.
The Bulls coach basically gushed over Brewer when asked what kind of player the Thunder was getting. He used words such as smart, tough and great teammate. He said Brewer can guard multiple positions, pass on the perimeter and feed the post and move well without the ball.
"He'll fill any role you ask him to fill," Thibodeau said.
The Thunder needs Brewer's defense.
Based solely on first impressions, Brewer interviewed like he was the right man for the job. Asked how he plans to defend LeBron James in a potential NBA Finals rematch, Brewer said the same he approaches every player.
"You've got to treat every player you come across as the premier player in this league," Brewer said. "So I'm going to approach whoever is in front of me as if they're the best player in this league."
It's a part of his pedigree.
Sloan and Thibodeau taught Brewer, like all their players, to how to respect the game and be a professional.
"Any time you see their players, they always have that same professionalism and toughness and respect for their team and their teammates," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "And Brewer is the same way. Just talking to him today, you know that he has that serious approach about the game and about what he brings to the team."
Martin and Kevin Durant, two of the Thunder's top three scorers, both said they hated playing against Brewer. His length and powerful 6-foot-7 frame, they said, give scorers fits. His defensive instincts, meanwhile, make it a must that opponents stay sharp.
Not mentioned were Brewer's smarts, something he prides himself on.
"It's all about paying attention to detail," Brewer said of defense. "As a player, you might not really think that's that serious. You make a turnover, or you might allow a guy to get an offensive rebound and get a tip-in. But every point counts. Every mishap counts, in the playoffs and down the stretch."
Fortunately for Brewer, he's joining a team the he believes already understands that the small things add up. It should help him come in and, as he said, get in where he fits in, rather than have to put the team's defense on his shoulders.
"This team has been able to go really far in the playoffs and have some success," Brewer said, "and I think those guys understand a play here or a play there can be the turning point of winning and losing and winning a championship."

Clause For Concern is an episode of the Happy Tree Friends internet series. It is the fifteenth episode of the third season, and sixty-ninth overall. It was also the first canonical episode after sixteen months of only shorts that said that the series was "dead".
A Santa Claus outfit is seen in a dryer in Pop and Cub's basement. Pop takes out the contents and brings them upstairs while Cub comes crawling and gets stuck in a sack. Pop puts on his Santa Claus outfit and prepares to drive for the mall. He puts his sack in the trunk and tries to close it, but he hears a scream. Pop tries closing it again, and soon succeeds. As he drives off, one of his tires hits a small rock, causing a part of the sack to fall and leave a trail of what appeared to be blood on the road, while a dog sniffs the scent and decides to follow.
Pop soon stops at a stoplight and discovers the dog trying to tear open the sack, with several other dogs waiting nearby. Pop comes and manages to pull it from the animal's jaws, as the sack flies onto a railroad. A train then runs it over, but Pop waits patiently for the train to pass. As the train continues to run, Pop continues to wait and eats a sandwich, even sharing with the dog he fought with. Pop soon reads a newspaper and eventually goes to sleep as the train still continues its course. After a long wait, the train finally passes. Pop begins to pick up the sack, but is stopped by another passing train. When the other train passes, Pop proceeds his task, but is once again interrupted by The Mole passing by on his handcar. Afterwards, Pop finally manages to pick up the sack.
Pop is then seen at the mall sitting on his throne. Truffles walks up to him, and Pop proceeds to pick up a gift from the sack. He picks up a talking doll whose head falls off, and Pop sees that the gift is broken. He tries to find something else, but picks up a paint tray smeared with red paint. He then picks up some sausages which is then eaten by one of the same dogs he got in trouble with, leading him to confusion. As it turns out, Cub was still at home inside another sack, popping out and laughing as the closing iris closes on him.
"Ignorance is bliss!"
After the credits, Cub is seen reaching for a light switch and is soon squashed by the door when a disappointed Pop opens it.
- After the credits, Cub gets smashed by a door Pop opens, splattering his blood all over the wall.
- The moon switches directions several times.
- In some shots, there are stars in the shaded side of the moon, which is impossible for obvious reasons.
- The direction of Pop's Santa belt changes places several times.
- The title of this episode is a parody of the phrase "cause for concern", which means one situation leads to something bad.
- The truth behind it all: Throughout the episode, it appeared to the audience that Cub was inside the sack due to "his" screams, signs of "blood", and dogs wanting to eat its contents. However, at the end, it was shown that the sound came from a doll which sounded like Cub, while the "blood" was actually red paint. There were also a bunch of sausages in the sack, explaining why it attracted the attention of the dogs.
- This is the first time that Cub crawls on all fours. Before this, he was usually seen standing upright and walking.
- "Deck the Halls" is heard when Pop is driving and stops at the stoplight.
- This is the first episode to air after a year-long hiatus of Happy Tree Friends, during which fans thought the series was cancelled due to several rumors. After the hiatus was ended, this episode was announced by the HTF short Tunnel Vision.
- This is the only full length episode to be released in 2011. The previous episode aired in 2010 and the next episode aired in 2012.
- This is the first episode in which a post-credits scene is shown after the credits.
- This is the first time Truffles appears in an episode unhidden, with his body in motion, and showing a new expression on his face. This could further imply that he may be given bigger roles in future episodes.
- This episode is one of the few times that Pop is seen without his hat (In this case a Santa hat).
- This is one of the few times where Pop had a much larger role than Cub, as opposed to less or roughly the same. Another example would be the TV episode A Hole Lotta Love.
- Pop's ignorance is further shown by leaving Cub alone without a babysitter, among other things.
- One of the animators listed during the credits is James Howlett (a fictional character from the Wolverine comics).
- During the credits, under Zydravomir "Z" Staykov, they put "#1 Lumpy Fan".
- One of the dogs has a similar appearance to Whistle, but grown-up and less vicious.
- Cub's death is similar to Toothy's death in The Carpal Tunnel of Love.
- The moral of this episode may be a reference to The Matrix (1999).
- This is the last appearance of the original Mondo Media logo, later episodes then used the current Mondo logo.
- There are no female characters in this episode.
- The large dog with his hair blocking his eyes strongly resembles The Big Dog from the old Cartoon Network show "2 Stupid Dogs".
- If not for the scene after the credits, then this would be an episode with no deaths, and it would be the only regular episode without any gore.
- This episode, along with Tongue Twister Trouble have the lowest amount of goofs (3).

Warm Dandelion Greens with Roasted Garlic Dressing
From EatingWell: March/April 2008
In this springtime salad, dandelion greens (or spinach, if you prefer) are tossed with a warm roasted garlic dressing, tangy goat cheese and toasted pine nuts for melt-in-your-mouth results.
2 Reviews for Warm Dandelion Greens with Roasted Garlic Dressing
We made this salad this weekend using regular lettuce in place of the dandelion greens and it was so good! The dressing is really amazing and the whole combination is great. I would totally make it again.

A team from Princeton University has developed ways to break disk encryption, including Bitlocker, Truecrypt, Apple encryption, and Linux encryption, if the computer is in sleep mode or sitting at a password prompt, or even if it's just been turned off.
Researchers with Princeton University and the Electronic Frontier Foundation have found a flaw that renders disk encryption systems useless if an intruder has physical access to your computer — say in the case of a stolen laptop or when a computer is left unattended on a desktop in sleep mode or while displaying a password prompt screen.
The attack takes only a few minutes to conduct and uses the disk encryption key that's stored in the computer's RAM.
The attack works because content as well as encryption keys stored in RAM linger in the system, even after the machine is powered off, enabling an attacker to use the key to collect any content still in RAM after reapplying power to the machine.
"We've broken disk encryption products in exactly the case when they seem to be most important these days: laptops that contain sensitive corporate data or personal information about business customers," said J. Alex Halderman, one of the researchers, in a press release. "Unlike many security problems, this isn't a minor flaw; it is a fundamental limitation in the way these systems were designed."
The researchers successfully performed the attack on several disk encryption systems — Apple's FileVault, Microsoft's BitLocker, as well as TrueCrypt and dm-crypt — but said they have no reason to believe it won't work on other disk encryption systems as well, since they all share similar architectures.
They released a paper about their work as well as a video demonstration of the attack (below).
Security is only a subset of why encryption software is deployed. Being able to denying negligence is the reason big corporations purchase the stuff. The sooner you realize nothing is secure the sooner news like this won't impress you. Ugh.
As noted in the article, disabling booting from an external drive + a bios password is a good start for countermeasures, but it doesn't mention if Apple's "secure virtual memory" option (not on by default) would help against the search for the Filevault key.
On a separate note: to the Princeton researchers – Bravo, but discussing exploits before devising solutions causes more problems then the praise you receive? Didn't joe-average-hacker already teach that lesson to Microsoft?! The real intelligence is coming up with a solution; something you should have done before promoting the average 13 year old into hardcore data thief. Thanks.

Britain's newspapers agreed to create an independent press regulator as recommended by the Leveson report, but refused to commit to its controversial proposal for statutory backing.
Tabloid and broadsheet editors met in London for a breakfast meeting yesterday and agreed to 40 of judge Brian Leveson's 47 proposals, clearing the path for the creation of a regulator able to issue fines of up to USD 1.6 million.
But the editors refused to sign up to seven of the report's proposals, which called for a statutory body to audit the regulator, according to those present at the meeting.
Chris Blackhurst, the editor of the Independent, called the spirit of cooperation "really quite remarkable".
"I've never seen anything like it in my time as a journalist, he told Radio 4's The Media Show. "We are all used to the sort of annual fisticuffs at press awards, and all the shouting matches, and we all hate each other."
British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday warned editors to set up a fresh watchdog quickly or face new laws after the judge-led enquiry condemned decades of misconduct by the press.
Cameron commissioned the Leveson Enquiry in July 2011, after the phone-hacking scandal that led to the closure of Rupert Murdoch's News of the World tabloid and has since prompted dozens of arrests.

The striker will retire at the end of the season after defending the Barça strip for 18 years, 5 of which he was captain
This Monday he won his 15th Liga title, the 58th title of his career. He has the chance to win one more crown before he retires, the European Cup
18 years in the first team
18 years
Alberto Borregán (1994-2012)
15 years
Jordi Villacorta (1967-1982)
14 years
Jordi Vilapuig (1973-1987)
Aitor Egurrola (1998-...)

Quim Paüls (1979-1992)
José Luis Páez (1994-2007)
David Páez (1998-2011)
Alberto Borregán, better known as Beto, has spent his entire professional career in FC Barcelona's roller hockey team. Borregán, an avid player at the young age of 4, made his debut for the first team when he was 17 years-old. On March 21st, Borregán completed his 18th year in the FCB roller hockey first team, his almost two decades as an Azulgrana have been riddled with awards and trophies. The last one, in fact, was won this Monday, when he lifted the OK Liga trophy. His long and distinguished career serves as proof that Beto loves what he does and the sport.
From his debut to being named captain
In 1994 Borregán arrived at FC Barcelona after having played for Unión Deportiva de Horta and, previously, for Cerdanyola HC. The player admits that he doesn't remember his first game in a Barça strip but he guarantees that his motivation is that of a debutant even after 18 years in the sport. "I really like this sport. I have the same enthusiasm as when I started," he said on Barça TV's ADN Barça programme. Little by little, Beto solidified his position in the team to the point where his name on the starting line-up was indisputable.
When José Luis 'Negro' Páez left the team, Beto was named the captain of the team managed by Quim Paüls. It's been five years that Beto has been leading the team on the court with the captain armband, and without a doubt he's become a reference point in the history of the Club because of it. Years before he was given the Barça captaincy, he was Spanish national side's captain. He led Spain to many titles as well.
Enviable trophy cabinet
Out of all the goals the striker has scored throughout his career, the one he remembers with most fondness is the one he scored in the European Cup Final in Porto in 1999. The player, in fact, has turned the tide of many a game in Barça's favour. For example, this Monday's match against Calafell, he scored the 2-1 for the Azulgranas and the definitive 7-4 that closed out the game; this scoreline allowed Barça to lift its 24th Liga title in the history of the Club.
For Borregám, this OK Liga is his 15th league title - but his total haul of silverware for Barça is an astounding 58 titles. Moreover, before the season is over, he could add one more title to his collection when Gaby Cairo's men play in the Final Eight of the European Cup. "I have a lot of ambition, I want to win more titles," he said recently. "I'm surrounded by the best players in the world and it's easier to win titles with them around."
In the past, the striker has expressed his desire to finish his playing career at Barça. Now, that wish is now a reality.

Eating and Drinking in Alsace, France
Le Clou, Strasbourg
According to Marie Sengel, the charismatic owner here and a born gatekeeper, winstube are an exclusive club with few members: Le Clou, Le Sarment d'Or in Riquewihr, Wistub Brenner in Colmar, Caveau Morakopf in Niedermorschwihr, A l'Aigle d'Or in Osthouse, Burestubel in Pfulgriesheim—and that's it. (Strasbourg's Zuem Strissel, she says, is a fake.) While the list is short, ignoring what most French food professionals consider to be the facts, you can't dismiss it. Sengel is a practicing authority, and her view, like the Illwald, establishes a yardstick, use it or not. I've never seen Le Clou not crowded. On a soggy winter day the smell of Muenster melting over an entrecôte mingles with the steamy, doggy exhalations of boiled-wool jackets. Tables are shared, which most Americans are really not comfortable with, so you just hope for the best. The walls are hung with Hansi village scenes and the marquetry landscapes the Spindlers of Boersch have been chiseling since 1893. No matter how many times I have the winstub staple salade strasbourgeoise I still find the idea of combining Gruyère; cervelas, a sausage with the texture and color of mortadella; and oniony vinaigrette delicious but weird. When I'm in Strasbourg on a day when I know one of my meals is going to be choucroute, I make the other one this salad and a plate of marrow bones and don't feel too deprived. Other dishes from the winstub canon include escargots à l'alsacienne (with bouillon spooned into the shells, in addition to the standard parsley-garlic-shallot butter); and high-and-fluffy cheesecake, taken with a glass of kirsch.

Playing musical instruments before an audience takes lots of talent. But more importantly, it takes a lot of practice.
Saturday, some of the panhandle's most talented high school bands showed off all their hard work during the Florida Bandmasters Association District Two marching band festival.
More than a dozen high school bands from Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Liberty, Washington and Walton Counties took part.
Its important to note that it's not a competition between the bands. Bands are judged on their musicality, precision and audience appeal. More than one-hundred parents and boosters gathered at Tommy Oliver stadium to cheer on their favorite bands.

Progressive Asset Management Celebrates 25 Years of SRI Leadership
Progressive Asset Management (PAM), one of the nation's largest full-service retail investment firms specializing in socially responsible investing (SRI), celebrates the completion of its 25th year in business serving individuals, families and institutions who want their investments to be in harmony with their social and environmental beliefs.
PAM was launched at the end of 1987 by a group of SRI pioneers, most notably Peter Camejo, to fill the urgent demand for a new kind of investment firm – one that would concentrate 100% on ethical and environmentally-conscious investing. Such a firm had never existed.
Over the years, PAM has helped bring such new concepts as community investing, sustainability, plus environmental, social, and governance issues to the forefront of mainstream investment thinking. Today the PAM Group – the socially-responsible investment division of Financial West Group – consists of nearly 50 SRI advisors servicing more than 7,000 clients nationwide.
Together, PAM Group and FWG offer investors the nation's widest selection of socially responsible financial products and services, including:
- Socially-screened investment portfolio management
- Access to all listed stocks, bonds and over 200 socially responsible mutual funds
- Individual and business retirement plans with SR choices
- Institutional and endowment money management
- Trust account management
- College savings plans, including 529s
- Community investments
- Personal financial planning
- Annuities, plus Life, long-term care and disability insurance
Beyond helping to pioneer socially responsible investing, over the years PAM has provided leadership in tobacco divestment, opposing abusive labor practices, fossil fuel divestment and other shareholder actions. Recently they have offered investments in fair trade coffee cooperatives and a series of opportunities in wind power, alternative energy and green building initiatives.
Perhaps most importantly, PAM's efforts have touched hundreds of financial professionals and thousands of investors over these past 25 years – offering a place where people of conscience feel welcomed and among kindred spirits as they use their money as another way to promote world change.

|Editor: Simon Denison
National Archaeology Days, run under the aegis of the CBA's Young Archaeologists' Club, take place next month, on 25 and 26 July. At least 100 sites across Britain are expected to be open free of charge to families over the two days.
Events will include guided tours of a fishermen's hospital and a dissenters' graveyard in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk; excavations at Woodhall moated manor at Knottingly in West Yorkshire; and demonstrations of finds washing and metal detecting at the Roman Legionary Museum at Caerleon in South Wales. For further information, contact Juliet Mather, YAC Co-ordinator, at the CBA in York.
In education, the CBA - through the Audio Visual Media Working Party, a body set up jointly with universities - is trying to retrieve from Australia a series of 1950s archaeological TV programmes, `Buried Treasure', which were sent overseas some years ago by the BBC, and to have them transferred to video for use as teaching aids in universities. The programmes were presented by luminaries of the past such as Glyn Daniel, Stuart Piggott and Richard Atkinson, and featured prehistoric sites such as West Kennet, Carnac and Scara Brae.
The CBA argued that it was anomalous to consider `field' boundaries alone. Boundaries are fundamental components of the landscape, but under the regulations, hedgerows are protected only on agricultural and forestry land. The CBA pointed out that historic boundaries of all types should be protected irrespective of the surrounding land-use (they should be protected equally, for instance, in towns and suburbs).
Under the present regulations, a landowner wishing to remove a hedge has to notify the local authority, and can proceed with removal unless he hears from the authority within a certain period of time. The CBA argued that boundaries would be more effectively protected if a landowner required formal consent from the authority before removing a field boundary. The CBA also urged that funds should be made available to encourage the positive management of field boundaries.
A new national forum for organisations concerned with the provision of information about Britain's historic environment will be set up this summer by the CBA. The forum will enable bodies such as NMRs and SMRs to discuss strategies for providing archaeological information, both within archaeology and to the wider public.
At the Tewkesbury inquiry in March (see Update, BA, March), the CBA urged the planning inspector to reject an application to build new homes at the Gastons, in the centre of the field. The key issue was the status of English Heritage's advisory Battlefields Register, in which Tewkesbury is listed. According to government planning guidance, a listing in the Register should be regarded as a `material consideration' in the planning process; and the CBA argued that that should imply a presumption against any development that would have an adverse impact on the field, judged against English Heritage's criteria of authenticity, visual amenity, integrity and accessibility. The presumption should only be over-ridden by proposals fully supported by other established policies.
The CBA argued that the Register's status was being tested squarely by this case, in which conservation and development interests were directly opposed. It called for explicit guidance from the Secretary of State on the nature and strength of the `material consideration', arguing that the case showed that, treated as a simple unqualified consideration to be balanced by professional judgement and political decision, historic battlefields were too vulnerable in cases that might be determined without an inquiry.
At Oxford, the CBA opposes a recent proposal by Oxford University and the City and County Councils to demolish the city's currently disused Grade II* Victorian railway station (pictured) and re-erect it at the Quainton Railway Centre in Buckinghamshire, in order to permit road widening and redevelopment for a business school.
Only some four per cent of England's listed buildings are Grade II*, and according to government guidance, demolition of a Grade I or II* building should require `the strongest justification', which the CBA argued was not proved in this case. It was also uncertain, the CBA said, whether the under-resourced Quainton Railway Centre was capable of providing long-term care for the building, as its income was already fully committed. Moreover, the historical and archaeological importance of the building lay not only in its technology and engineering, but in its relationship with its site, and any reconstruction would produce only a sterile facsimile.
The CBA argued similarly, at an inquiry last year into a proposal to demolish and reassemble a listed timber-framed farmhouse at Hollington, Derbyshire, that the archaeological integrity of a building depended on its survival on its original site. In that case, the inspector rejected the application.
Internet Archaeology, the electronic journal run jointly by the CBA, the British Academy and a consortium of universities, has received a grant of £100,000 over three years from the UK Higher Education community to ensure its continued publication. At present the journal is available on the Internet free, but a subscription system will be phased in over the three-year period.

I have been looking for proper multiplayer games programming resources. I started a thread at indiegamer.com and asked Insiders about this. I was quite surprised to see that there aren't so many (high-level) network programming articles or books available. Much of the stuff that's available deal with low-level stuff like "how to send and receive packets".
There are exceptions of course, and here's couple of pretty good resources:
By looking at articles, it looks like multiplayer games (network) programming has not changed that much. Naturally we have many more network libraries available and don't have to start from scratch, but even then: the same basic concepts for handling player input and network traffic that were used years ago are still used today – to some extent.

Employment Law
Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
No, I do not. However, can they hire a candidate that didn't meet the requirements for the position (securities license), when I met the qualifications?
I never mentioned a promotion, but thanks for the very general information provided.
You stated that you applied for an internal position within your company. I assumed that it was a promotion, because most people don't apply for a position unless it will be a better fit for them or provide better benefits, income, etc. Regardless, that assumption, if incorrect, has no bearing on the legal outcome of the issue.The information that I have provided is general because the facts that you've given here are general and also because the law in this area is very general. Employers have wide latitude in what they can do, provided that they avoid making decisions using specific illegal factors. Did you have some more specific facts for me to consider?
As i stated previously, one of the requirements for the position is to have a federal securities license. One, in which the new hire does not currently have. One in which I was asked to "teach" the new hire how to pass this rigorous exam. Well, if i was told that am not qualified for the job, how can I be qualified to teach the required licensing course?
Thanks again, obviously the law is narrow in scope.
I will agree with you there. The law is narrow in scope. The Supreme Court dictated such in one of its decisions concerning the definition of the term "hostile work environment."
The Supreme Court stated that our employment laws are not meant to be a civility code, but rather, are only intended to address specific and narrow issues of law, namely, the issue of discrimination made illegal by statute.
I do wish that I could tell you differently here, but it would not help you for me to tell you that you have a claim when you do not.I'm simply respecting you enough to be honest with you.

Fourteen Alleged Members of a Rockville Centre Crack Cocaine Distribution Organization Arrested
Criminal Complaint Charges Four Defendants are Members of the Bloods Street Gang
|U.S. Attorney's Office June 01, 2011
A criminal complaint was unsealed today in federal court in Central Islip, New York, charging 14 members of an alleged Rockville Centre-based crack cocaine distribution ring with narcotics trafficking.1 According to the complaint and a detention letter filed today by the government, each defendant is associated with a criminal organization that has dominated the narcotics trade in the Old Mill Court apartment complex in Rockville Centre, and four of the defendants are members of the United Blood Nation ("Bloods"), a violent street gang. The defendants' arraignments are scheduled later today before United States Magistrate Judge E. Thomas Boyle at the U.S. Courthouse, 100 Federal Plaza, Central Islip, New York.
The charges were announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; Janice K. Fedarcyk, Assistant Director in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office; Charles Gennario, Commissioner of the Rockville Centre Police Department; and Nassau County Acting Police Commissioner Thomas C. Krumpter.
According to the complaint, a four-month joint investigation by the FBI, Rockville Centre Police Department, and Nassau County Police Department revealed a narcotics distribution ring operating in the Old Mill Court apartment complex located in Rockville Centre. All of the defendants are charged with conspiring to distribute crack cocaine as part of that organization. During the course of the investigation, law enforcement monitored court-ordered wiretaps, which revealed purchases and sales of narcotics by and from members of the drug organization. In addition, in conjunction with the defendants' arrests, search warrants were executed at various residences in the Old Mill Court apartment complex, one residence in Hempstead, and two residences in Brooklyn. Those searches resulted in the seizure of a quantity of crack cocaine and ammunition.
"The charges and arrests announced today have disrupted an alleged drug distribution organization that victimized an entire housing development in Rockville Centre," stated United States Attorney Lynch. "We are committed to ensuring that the residents of our public housing, and all the residents of our district, are free from the scourge of narcotics trafficking. As a result of the close cooperation of federal and local law enforcement partners, these defendants will now be held to account for their charged crimes." Ms. Lynch thanked the Suffolk County Police Department, Nassau County Sheriff's Department, Hempstead Village Police Department, U.S. Marshal's Service, Internal Revenue Service, Yonkers Police Department, and the New York City Police Department for their assistance.
FBI Assistant Director in Charge Fedarcyk stated, "These arrests mark an important step in returning the streets of Rockville Centre to the law-abiding residents. Narcotics traffickers and street gang members pose a threat our communities, and the FBI is committed to ridding our neighborhoods of these twin plagues."
"These arrests will have a beneficial impact on the quality of life in The Village of Rockville Centre and other Long Island communities," stated Rockville Centre Police Commissioner Gennario. "We faced a major law enforcement challenge in our community, which required the assistance of federal law enforcement. I want to thank the United States Attorney's Office and the FBI for their hard work, dedication, and professionalism throughout the course of this extensive investigation—without their assistance this operation would not have been possible."
"The Nassau County Police Department appreciates this partnership of federal and other local law enforcement agencies in combating narcotics trafficking in our communities," stated Acting Police Commissioner Krumpter. "This investigation clearly demonstrates that cooperation and sharing of information is critical to the safety of Nassau County residents."
If convicted of the drug distribution conspiracy charge, each of the defendants faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
The government's case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Thomas Sullivan and Nicole Boeckmann.
The Defendants:
Age: 31
Age: 28
Age: 30
Age: 34
Age: 42
Age: 32
Age: 40
Age: 25
Age: 32
Age: 33
Age: 47
Age: 37
Age: 58
Age: 49
1 The charges contained in the complaint are merely allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

I have only visited a convent once ; it was in the middle-north of England where the friend of a friend was serving. I was fairly young at the time and knew next to nothing of religious life, so I had only a jumble of ideas of what to expect. My first surprise was that they let me into the convent at all ; I had half expected that I would be required to wait outside while my companion went in to chat with her old school-friend. But, in fact, there is a homely and comfortable reception area made for the purpose of entertaining all kinds of visitors ; and we were both made very welcome.
I began to wonder what on earth I could contribute to this meeting of old friends. Are nuns allowed to speak to men? Or even to listen to them? I prepared to make… Read more

Kerry Hangs Back From Disclosure to All
The NY Sun June 9, 2005 Josh Gerstein
Did Kerry really release Navy records?
Chicagao Sun Times June 9, 2005 THOMAS H. LIPSCOMB
This should be a bipartisan effort.
If you?re a Democrat who supports Kerry, his signing form SF-180 would
help prove that he?s a genuine war hero, not the fraud that the Swift Vets claim he is.
If you?re a Democrat or Republican who opposes Kerry,
the contents of his military records would shine a bright light
on his murky Vietnam War record.
Either way, it?s in everyone?s best interest to get the senator to sign SF-180 and release his records.
Contact your current
senators and representatives
and main stream right wing media
and find out why Hanoi Kerry still is in the US Senate.
Demand that this traitor is removed from the US Senate now!
Don't be like the silent majority in the 60's and 70's
and turn your back on America and cave in to the anti war minority.
Demand that this traitor
is removed from the US Senate now!
There is no need to impeach him.

Viper's Vietnam Veterans Page
Col. Geo. "Bud" Day Medal of Honor Vietnam POW 1967-1973 USMC - USA Attorney 1949-2004
Dear Joe: The major issue in the Swiftboat stories is, and always has been,
what John Kerry did in 1971 after he returned from Vietnam.
Kerry cast a long dark shadow over all Vietnam Veterans with his outright perjury before the Senate concerning atrocities in Vietnam. His stories to the Senate committee were absolute lies.. fabrications.. perjury.. fantasies, with NO substance. That dark shadow has defamed the entire Vietnam War veteran population, and gave "Aid and Comfort" to our enemies..the Vietnamese Communists. Kerry's stories were outright fabrications, and were intended for political gain with the radical left..McGovern, Teddy and Bobby Kennedy followers, Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, and the radical left who fantasized that George McGovern was going to be elected in 1972. Little wonder that returning soldiers from Vietnam were spit upon and castigated as "baby killers".
A returned war hero said so.
Kerry cut a dashing figure as a war hero, lots of medals, and returned home because of multiple war wounds..even a silver star. His Senate testimony confirmed what every hippie had been chanting on the streets.."Hey hey LBJ..How many kids did you kill today"?????
He obviously was running for political office in 1971.
Until Lt. John O' Neil, himself a Swifboat commander, spoke out before the 1972 elections against Kerry's outright deceptions, there was no one from the Swiftboat scene that could contradict Kerry's self serving lies.
I was a POW of the Vietnamese in Hanoi in 1971, and I am aware that the testimony of John Kerry, the actions of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, and the radical left; all caused the commies to conclude that if they hung on..they would win. North Vietnamese General Bui Tin commented that every day the Communist leadership listened to world news over the radio to follow the growth of the anti-war movement. Visits to Hanoi by Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark gave them confidence to hold in the face of battlefield reverses.
The guts of it was that propaganda from the anti-war group was part of their combat strategy.
While the Commies were hanging on, innumerable U.S. Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Air Foce members were being killed in combat.
Every battle wound to Americans after Kerry's misdirected testimony is related to Kerry's untruthfulness.
John Kerry contributed to every one of these deaths with his lies about U.S. atrocities in Vietnam.
He likewise defamed the U.S. with our allies and supporters.
His conduct also extended the imprisonment of the Vietnam Prisoners of War, of which I was one.
I am certain of at least one POW death after his testimony,
which might have been prevented with an earlier release of the POWs.
I draw a direct comparison of General Benedict Arnold of the Revolutionary War, to Lieutenant John Kerry. Both went off to war, fought, and then turned against their country. General Arnold crossed over to the British for money and position. John Kerry crossed over to the Vietnamese with his assistance to the anti-war movement, and his direct liason with the Vietnamese diplomats in Paris.
His reward. Political gain. Senator..United States.

I VOW to the 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on
The Viet Nam Wall who never came home
and to those who died at home from injuries and
from broken hearts.
"I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all.
I will not tire, I will not falter,
and I will not fail.
I solemnly vow to do all I can to restore your honor
until I give my last breath on earth."
I spent 3yrs on a destroyer in the Navy from
'66-'69 as a Gunners Mate, GMG3.
USS CORRY DD 817 '68-'69 Gulf of Tonkin Yacht Club Member.
Home port was Norfolk Virginia
and sailed with her in the North Atlantic,
Caribbean,(dealt with Cuban gunboats off of Havana in Jan '68)
thru the Panama Canal, across the Pacific to Viet Nam and back.
I was there the same time Kerry was.
I was there Oct'68-Apr'69 on the destroyer USS Corry DD-817
which sometime supplied PCF's and PBR's
and provided gunfire and gunfire support
in North AND South Viet Nam.
My ship may have even supplied
Kerry's boat in the Mekong Delta
Although there are many similarities between naval gunfire support
and Operation Sea Dragon (which ended Nov '68), they differ in two important areas:
naval gunfire support is normally fired at the request of troops ashore,
while Sea Dragon's mission is the interdiction of supplies and destruction
of military targets; and naval gunfire support is always conducted in South Vietnam,
while Sea Dragon missions are fired only above the demilitarized zone.
29 US Navy ships received gunfire from Viet Cong shore batteries.
My ship DID NOT get hit by the VC.
In Feb '69 my ship was part of Operation Bold Mariner
which was the largest amphibious assault since Korea.
This is EXACTLY what I used to do as a Gunner's Mate 3rd class.
The bottom pic is the ship I served on.

The weekend could also provide a bit of history as three-time All-American Emily Csikos needs just three goals to become Cal's all-time leading scorer.

Traditionally, the MPSF garners two at-large selections to the NCAA field as well. An All-Session pass is good for all nine games of the tournament.
Csikos On The Cusp Of History
Three-time All-American Emily Csikos enters the weekend with 210 goals, just two shy of Colette Glinkowski all-time record at Cal. Csikos has 43 goals this season and ranks third in the MPSF with an average of 2.39 goals per game. Meanwhile, senior Breda Vosters has 23 goals this season to give her 153 for her career, good for sixth place on the Bears' all-time list.

The Spartans are coming off a 15-8 loss to No. 4 UCLA.

Model, Apollo Astronaut on Moon
This unassembled plastic model kit, in its original box, of an Apollo astronaut on the Moon, was manufactured and sold by Revell, Inc. beginning in 1970. The box art -- an artist's conception of an astronaut stepping onto the lunar surface -- played off of the excitement surrounding the Apollo program's successes. In the depiction, the astronaut's achievement is dramatized as he steps out of a partial shadow onto the Moon, with the Earth clearly visible above his head. Although the astronaut's face is pictured through the gold helmet visor, no individual astronaut is depicted.
The model was found in the collection.

This polished comicbook adaptation is most notable for newcomer Louise Bourgoin's captivating perf.
Take Indiana Jones and replace him with a knockout redhead, a slew of CGI and a somewhat bloated storyline, and you'll get an inkling of what lies behind Luc Besson's costumer/creature feature, "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec." More convincing than the helmer-producer's recent efforts but not exactly the enjoyable f/x extravaganza it should be, this polished comicbook adaptation is most notable for newcomer Louise Bourgoin's captivating perf as a fearless, wisecracking heroine who — this being France — drinks, smokes and plays in the buff. Massive local rollout delivered a strong opening, and should venture beyond Francophone markets.Though it's better conceived and executed than the tyke-targeted "Arthur" series, pic still suffers from the kind of directorial tics and narrative pitfalls that often make Besson's blockbusters highly uneven affairs — commercial movies that have all the required elements, but never quite nail down the formula. As both scribe and helmer, as well as his own producer via Gallic powerhouse EuropaCorp, he exerts perhaps too much control over works that would benefit from some fresh collaborative voices and, in this case, a pair of scissors to trim down an overstretched third act. Budgeted at 30 million ($40.8 million) — compared with the latest "Arthur's" whopping (for France) $88.4 million — "Adele" does manage to spend its money wisely. With handsome production values, polished visual effects and eye-popping locations (shot by Besson regular Thierry Arbogast) that include icons like the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, pic smoothly blends state-of-the-art CGI with a story set in pre-WWI France. After a rapid-fire opening sequence that, without a handy voiceover, would be practically impossible to follow, we're soon introduced to the audacious explorer-novelist Adele Blanc-Sec (Bourgoin), who's on a mission in Egypt. Quick-witted and stubborn, but also incredibly seductive, she manages to squeeze her way out of a tangle involving a band of cartoonish locals led by her nemesis, the archeologist Dieuleveult (Mathieu Amalric, practically unrecognizable with pasty makeup and buck teeth). Back home with a sarcophagus in tow, Adele is confronted with yet another dilemma: A scientist (Jacky Nercessian) who has the power to heal her comatose sister (Laure de Clermont-Tonnere) has managed to unleash a pterodactyl into the skies above Paris. As a worthless detective (Gilles Lellouche, amusing) and a trigger-happy hunter (Jean-Paul Rouve) try to shoot the beast down, Adele summons the best of her charms and skills to prevent the baddies from thwarting her master plan. If this sounds awfully childish, well, it is often is, and what frankly saves pic from its convoluted plot and boilerplate villains is Adele herself, thanks in no small part to the all-consuming performance of Bourgoin (who made a noteworthy debut in Anne Fontaine's 2006 "The Girl from Monaco"). Delivering lines with screwball timing, while sporting an assortment of disguises like a sexed-up Lon Chaney, she dominates practically every scene and makes us regret the ones without her. Supporting cast serves up the type of characters depicted better in the original comicbook series (created in 1976 by Jacques Tardi and still running), and the onslaught of digital creatures at the film's close is too overcooked to be enjoyable. The same goes for a closing scene that all too sloppily sets up a sequel, leaving one with the impression that Besson is already worrying about the next film before trying to get this one right.

Seeking approval: The challenge with biotech crops in the EU
Within the European Union (EU), fewer GM products are being authorized for import each year and it is taking longer for those products to get through the politically driven multi-level approval process.
"The delay is twice as long to have something approved in Europe compared to the United States; it takes an average of four years in the EU to approve GM products for import, while the US is aiming at 1.5 years. This difference in the pace of approvals for GM crops that have already been authorized elsewhere leads to costly trade disruptions," says Nilsy Desaint, Public Affairs and Communications Manager for Green Biotechnology Europe, a unit of EuropaBio (the European Association for Bioindustries).

Keeping its customers satisfied is priority No. 1 at Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County, Washington (Snohomish County PUD), which distributes electricity to about 320,230 commercial, industrial, and residential customers in Washington State. The utility, the largest PUD in the state, with a 2,200 sq. ml. service area, purchases most of its power supply from third parties (Bonneville Power Administration and other producers. It operates hydroelectric and fossil-fueled power plants and participates in wholesale power transactions to balance its supply load. Snohomish County PUD also serves more than 20,500 water utility customers in a 205 sq. ml. service territory, via about 390 miles of pipe.
Financial Performance
In 2012 the PUD's revenues grew by 1% thanks to an electric rate increase of 3%. Retail sales also grew as the result of higher energy sales and rate increases for both power and water use. Wholesale sales grew as higher than usual rainfall allowed the company to sell more surplus power into the wholesale power market. Snohomish County PUD posted a net income of $63.7 million in 2012 (compared to a loss of $81.9 million) due to increased sales.
To meet federal and state goals for reducing greenhouse gases, the utility is exploring a range of green energy options, conservation measures and new power generation activities, including geothermal, tidal, wind, and solar power.
In 2013 solar energy capacity stood at two MW, enough to serve 170 homes. More than 350 PUD customers cover part of their electricity needs through their own solar energy units. The PUD's Solar Express program offers financial incentives and technical assistance for solar photovoltaic and solar hot water systems.
In 2012 the company amended a power contract with Hampton Lumber (a fuel supplier since 2007) that will boost the level of biomass energy the utility will receive from the lumber company's Darrington plant. The new agreement will allow Snohomish County PUD to receive up to 2.5 MW of energy from Hampton Lumber, enough energy to power about 2,000 homes.
Supported by $15.8 million in matching federal stimulus dollars, in 2011 Snohomish County PUD completed its first major project as part of a long-term upgrade of its electric grid with smart grid technology. The upgrade includes the installation of more than 160 miles of fiber optic cable, and connecting them to 62 substations, two radio sites and other utility buildings.
Snohomish County PUD is a government-owned entity.
Company Background
The company began providing water utility service to parts of Snohomish County in 1946. Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County began operating as power utility in 1949, providing publicly owned electric and water utility service to the residents of Snohomish County and Camano Island.

"For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust…"
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5a
Ask the average Christian young person to describe what God wants them to know about sex, and you'll probably hear something like this:
"Thou shalt not have it."
For far too many years, sex remained categorized as one of the taboo topics given little air time in the church. Armed with little more than the knowledge that God intended for sex to be saved until the wedding day, many Christian men and women have entered marriage with little biblical understanding of why God created sex in the first place. Well, apart from making babies, that is. Most people can wrap their minds around that particular concept.
In her chapter on the wise woman's sexual conduct, author Mary Kassian highlights the Christian tendency to be "far too easily pleased" when it comes to grasping the importance of God's design for human sexuality:
Most Christian discussions about sex and sexuality put the emphasis in the wrong place. They spend a whole lot of time focusing on what constitutes improper sexual conduct. They draw lines and boundaries that delineate pure from impure behavior. It seems to me that coming up with a list of "don'ts" somewhat misses the point. It tackles the issue from the wrong side. We can't hope to know which behaviors we should avoid until we understand the reason that we ought to avoid them. What's more, this approach lopsidedly focuses on behaviors to avoid, rather than attitudes and behaviors to cultivate. It can result in a pharisaical sense that we're getting our sexuality right, when in fact, we're getting it very wrong. Many married Christian women are guilty of wrongful sexual conduct, even though they may not technically be transgressing a specific biblical boundary. For example, a woman who is frigid toward her husband dishonors God's pattern for sexuality as much as the one who commits adultery does. A married woman who uses sex to punish her husband is as wrong in her thinking about sex as an unmarried woman who hooks up with a guy just for the thrill of a fleeting night of pleasure.
The Bible's principles for sexual conduct take the issue of sex a lot further than a written list of dos and don'ts. They emanate from the heart of God. He wants us to cherish and value our sexuality as much as He does…He wants us to live in such a way that our sexuality puts His glory on display.

OK, I gave in a bought a Challange 20" folding 6gear city bike from Argos in the UK for £74.
I have a MTB that is my main cycle, but you can't take it on public transport in rush hour and as I'll be working in the city (London) more thought a folding bike might fit.
Now I'd love to have got a brompton, or Dahon but can't afford the £100's involved in that - so this cheapie will have to do.
Won't be killing in on mileage and I know performance won't be great...however it is the same weight as a £6000 Dahon so now I'd like some advice on further improvements I can make.
- I'm thinking some quick release pedals will be a start for folding size.
- Next The handlebars don't fold, but can I get either a quick release stem/post or can anyone advise a source for a folding post/stem like the dahon's have?
- Lastly, I think I can lose some weight from the wheels - would more or less any 20" wheel fit?
Sorry for the ignorant questions...I have searched but there's a lot of parts out there to choose from!
Assembled the bike sunday, not rode it properly yet due to adverse weather in UK

Insane Contact Juggling
Don't be jealous. No human is this coordinated. This guy is probably a robot.
This amount of skill is impressive as all hell, but how does a person make use of it? It would be superfluous in most skill-based activities. Not even a sport that uses a ball could utilize or appreciate what Akihiro Yanai can do. Can you imagine a display of this skill in baseball? "Hunter Pence hits the ball, it get through the infield! Right fielder Akihiro Yanai picks it up as Pence rounds first base. Pence hits second while Akihiro Yanai perfectly balances the ball on his nose. Yanai pops the ball into the air and catches it with his elbows as Pence rounds third. Yanai pulls out a second and third baseball and makes them roll around his arms in a circular pattern as Hunter Pence and all the base runners cross home plate! Hunter Pence has scored an infield grand slam!"
Sorry about the digression. I probably lost you at "Hunter Pence hits the ball."

It's now been about 14 years since I first started this web site as a resource for Sierra Nevada mountain pictures. During this time, I've seen many much better sites with far superior images fill this need so, I've decided to take HSMI in a somewhat different direction...
In the upcoming months I hope to start using this site as a vehicle for my illustrated trip reports. These reports span some 40 years of hiking and climbing not only in the Sierra Nevada, but also in many other locations around the state. A lot of work, to be sure, but also a lot of fun.
Thanks for visiting and stay tuned :-)

Carey wins Walpole Classic
Longtime coach honored with sign
1 2 Next page >
Senior Erick Vilchez struck out a career-high 12 batters over 6 1/3 innings, and senior James Harrison came on to earn his second save in as many games, to lead Carey to a 4-2 victory over Herricks in the 12th annual Bob Walpole Classic on April 24.
Sophomore Jon Heyer hit a two-run homer, his second of the season, to give the Seahawks a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning. Freshman Anthony Catapano was on second after drilling his team-leading eighth double. Carey (10-4 in Conference AA-IV, 10-6 overall) clinched its eighth consecutive playoff berth.
But the day belonged to Walpole. The long-time coach and physical education teacher was recognized by the Carey community for his nearly 50 years of support and dedication to the students and athletes at Carey. Walpole was joined by his wife Eileen, and his children and grandchildren, for a ceremony on the field prior to the game.
Walpole, who picked up over 200 victories and a pair of league championships during his 21 years as head varsity coach, and also coached junior high and junior varsity baseball, was taken completely by surprise by the ceremony. "I had no clue that this was taking place," Walpole said. "I'm completely overwhelmed. I knew something might be up when my wife ironed me a shirt. I didn't think I needed a shirt ironed just to throw out the first ball. It's a real honor."
Numerous former players and students were in attendance at the event, which included a reception in the gymnasium. Some reminisced about their time on the baseball diamond, while others spoke of the life lessons that Walpole instilled in them. All had fond memories of Speeedball, a game Walpole invented in the early 70s.
"It was around the time of Title IX when women were going to get the same opportunities as men," Walpole said. "The physical education curriculum was going to change in many ways. I went over to Adelphi and saw a game of team handball, and there were things I liked, and things I didn't like so much. So, we modified it, and then modified it some more, before introducing it. The kids went nuts for it. It became like religion here."
