Understanding speech in our native tongue seems natural and effortless; listening to speech in a nonnative language is a different experience. In this book, Anne Cutler argues that listening to speech is a process of native listening because so much of it is exquisitely tailored to the requirements of the native language. Her cross-linguistic study (drawing on experimental work in languages that range from English and Dutch to Chinese and Japanese) documents what is universal and what is language specific in the way we listen to spoken language.
Codeswitching is the alternate use of two or more languages among bilingual interlocutors. It is distinct from borrowing, which involves the phonological and morphological integration of a word from one language into another. Codeswitching involves the mixing of phonologically distinctive elements into a single utterance: Mi hermano bought some ice cream. This volume examines the grammatical properties of languages mixed in this way, focusing on cases of language mixing within a sentence.
Each edition of this classic reference has proved to be a benchmark in the developing field of cognitive neuroscience. The fifth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biological underpinnings of complex cognitio—the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychological reality of the mind. It offers entirely new material, reflecting recent advances in the field.
When children are late in hitting developmental milestones, parents worry. And no delay causes more parental anxiety than late talking, which is associated in many parents' minds with such serious conditions as autism and severe intellectual disability. In fact, as children's speech expert Stephen Camarata points out in this enlightening book, children are late in beginning to talk for a wide variety of reasons. For some children, late talking may be a symptom of other, more serious, problems; for many others, however, it may simply be a stage with no long-term complications.
Children with specific language impairment (SLI) show a significant deficit in spoken language that cannot be attributed to neurological damage, hearing impairment, or intellectual disability. More prevalent than autism and at least as prevalent as dyslexia, SLI affects approximately seven percent of all children; it is longstanding, with adverse effects on academic, social, and (eventually) economic standing.
This book explores the relationships between language, music, and the brain by pursuing four key themes and the crosstalk among them: song and dance as a bridge between music and language; multiple levels of structure from brain to behavior to culture; the semantics of internal and external worlds and the role of emotion; and the evolution and development of language. The book offers specially commissioned expositions of current research accessible both to experts across disciplines and to non-experts.
Before Steven Pinker wrote bestsellers on language and human nature, he wrote several technical monographs on language acquisition that have become classics in cognitive science. Learnability and Cognition, first published in 1989, brought together two big topics: how do children learn their mother tongue, and how does the mind represent basic categories of meaning such as space, time, causality, agency, and goals?
Scholars have long been captivated by the parallels between birdsong and human speech and language. In this book, leading scholars draw on the latest research to explore what birdsong can tell us about the biology of human speech and language and the consequences for evolutionary biology.
How is the information we gather from the world through our sensory and motor apparatus converted into language? It is obvious that there is an interface between language and sensorimotor cognition because we can talk about what we see and do. In this book, Alistair Knott argues that this interface is more direct than commonly assumed. He proposes that the syntax of a concrete sentence—a sentence that reports a direct sensorimotor experience—closely reflects the sensorimotor processes involved in the experience.
When two or more languages are part of a child's world, we are presented with a rich opportunity to learn something about language in general and about how the mind works. In this book, Norbert Francis examines the development of bilingual proficiency and the different kinds of competence that come together in making up its component parts. In particular, he explores problems of language ability when children use two languages for tasks related to schooling, especially in learning how to read and write.

Hi, when I put my two female piggies on floor time I put a towel where I know they are going to poo and a cardboard box with hay, so they don't make much of a mess. But as soon as they get there they start chewing on the towel takin threads out, bitting and breaking the cardborad box, moving the cozy around and upside down. I mean, the seem to be haing great fun but is this normal?
I use the same hidey house that they have on their cage. That is the only thing they respect!

Strategic Planning and Resource Assessment
Forest Service 2003 Success Stories
Success Stories: A Creeks and Communities Approach to Bringing People Together Beckwourth Ranger District, Plumas National ForestHealthy Streams Through Bringing People Together
A new partnership among California Trout, Five Dot Cattle Company, Plumas National Forest , and University of California Extension Service was created to resolve ongoing issues surrounding grazing and watershed health on public lands in California .
This partnership identified a portion of the Jenkins Allotment as a first attempt at working together to improve riparian and stream conditions. They hope to succeed through livestock management and monitoring the effects of the grazing system on the riparian area.
The National Riparian Service Team (NRST) worked with this partnership in fiscal year 2003 to meet the following objectives:
Build trust between the parties
Develop a cooperative grazing plan with no permanent reductions in AUM (a measure of the number of animals on a unit in a given month)
Establish a no penalty', adaptive management situation
Develop a monitoring plan.
NRST assisted with a riparian assessment, the development of management options, and an appropriate monitoring strategy. NRST also conducted a community workshop for other stakeholders in the area. Follow-up will still be necessary to know how much progress the group has made, but a good foundation was established.
Members of the partnership hope this project builds trust among the participants, serving as a foundation for their continued collaborative efforts in other areas of the Sierra Nevada Mountains .

The mother of all Indian languages, Sanskrit seems to be losing its place
in the modern world. But Mambalam Samskrita Vidyalaya, (a FREE sanskrit
institution imparting the knowledge of this classical language to everyone
without having any differences in age, sex, caste etc) is one of the few
institutions keeping the ancient language alive.
Mambalam Samskrita Vidyalaya, started in the year 1955, is entering into
its 50th year. This institution was founded by octogenarian
founder-principal, O.R.Rajagopalachariar, who considers Sanskrit as his
Interestingly, many sishyas who studied under him are working as Sanskrit
professors in all leading colleges. There are many sishyas from varied
professions like lawyers, Doctors, engineers, IAS officers..who are still
studying under him.
Here this sanskrit school even conducts the VAGVARDHINI SABHA every
Saturday to help students discuss in Sanskrit and share their views.
This institution coaches students for the Chittoor Samskrita Basha
pracharini sabha. Totally 6 examinations are there. Exams are conducted on
an half-yearly basis. FYI, Kovida(5th examination) is equivalent to BA
degree and Vidyabhooshana(6th exam) is equivalent to MA degree.
At the end of the course, what the students can boast of is the vast
knowledge that they have gained.
Now the institution has entered into Golden Jubilee year. They have
planned a year long celebrations and the final celebrations will be held
during January 2005.
All the three sons of Rajagopalachariar swami have inherited their

In the last canto of the Bhagavata Purana there is a list of predictions and prophecies about the dark times for the present age of Kali Yuga. The following 15 predictions, written 5,000 years ago by sage Vedavyasa, are amazing because they appear so accurate. Despite the negative tone of these prophecies, there is still one bright spot for all of us, which is mentioned at the end.

Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba — I AM WRITING from the darkness of the U.S. detention camp at Guantanamo in the hope that I can make our voices heard by the world. My hand quivers as I hold the pen.
In January 2002, I was picked up in Pakistan, blindfolded, shackled, drugged and loaded onto a plane flown to Cuba. When we got off the plane in Guantanamo, we did not know where we were. They took us to Camp X-Ray and locked us in cages with two buckets — one empty and one filled with water. We were to urinate in one and wash in the other.
What I write here is not what my imagination fancies or my insanity dictates. These are verifiable facts witnessed by other detainees, representatives of the Red Cross, interrogators and translators.
During the first few years at Guantanamo, I was interrogated many times. My interrogators told me that they wanted me to admit that I am from Al Qaeda and that I was involved in the terrorist attacks on the United States. I told them that I have no connection to what they described. I am not a member of Al Qaeda. I did not encourage anyone to go fight for Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden have done nothing but kill and denigrate a religion. I never fought, and I never carried a weapon. I like the United States, and I am not an enemy. I have lived in the United States, and I wanted to become a citizen.
I know that the soldiers who did bad things to me represent themselves, not the United States. And I have to say that not all American soldiers stationed in Cuba tortured us or mistreated us. There were soldiers who treated us very humanely. Some even cried when they witnessed our dire conditions. Once, in Camp Delta, a soldier apologized to me and offered me hot chocolate and cookies. When I thanked him, he said, "I do not need you to thank me." I include this because I do not want readers to think that I fault all Americans.
But, why, after five years, is there no conclusion to the situation at Guantanamo? For how long will fathers, mothers, wives, siblings and children cry for their imprisoned loved ones? For how long will my daughter have to ask about my return? The answers can only be found with the fair-minded people of America.
I would rather die than stay here forever, and I have tried to commit suicide many times. The purpose of Guantanamo is to destroy people, and I have been destroyed. I am hopeless because our voices are not heard from the depths of the detention center.
If I die, please remember that there was a human being named Jumah at Guantanamo whose beliefs, dignity and humanity were abused. Please remember that there are hundreds of detainees at Guantanamo suffering the same misfortune. They have not been charged with any crimes. They have not been accused of taking any action against the United States.
Show the world the letters I gave you. Let the world read them. Let the world know the agony of the detainees in Cuba.

Koran distributors may face more scrutiny
German politicians are urging security services to take stronger action against a fundamentalist Muslim group distributing free copies of the Koran, it was reported Sunday.The group should be watched "minute by minute," Hans-Peter Uhl, domestic politicy spokesman for the Christian Social Union (CSU) told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper.
"The situation has intensified and the assessment of these people has been confirmed, based on their behaviour," he added.
On Saturday, followers of the Salafi branch of Islam handed out free copies of the Koran in many cities throughout the country. German security experts said Salafists advocate a radical, puritanical form of Islam that promotes extremism.
Uhl noted a hate video was released last week directed against two journalists who were critical of the Koran distribution.
Internet propaganda has to be "especially watched," Uhl said. He noted while the distribution of the Koran is not a criminal act, it supports the "dangerous recruitment of Salafists" in the internet, and their goals are against Germany's constitution. (...)

Customer Reviews of Fantom Drives G-Force Black 2TB eSATA / USB 2.0 Hard Drive with 3 Year Warranty
Performing as Advertised8/14/2012
So far it seems to be working as advertised.
A Great eSATA External Hard Drive7/13/2012
This is a very good drive. It is my first eSATA Drive and I find it very fast and very dependable. I trust my files on this drive. I would recommend this drive to anyone in need of an external Hard Drive. It is also USB which is good if your computer does not have the proper eSATA Jack.
Esata works fast!8/1/2011
I was at first hesitant to purchase the HD because of the uneven reviews on the Hitachi HD. I now have had this HD for about 4 months and I can happily report absolutely no heat or other problems from this drive. The Esata is plug and play and works very fast. All in all it is very much worth it for under the one hundred dollars price point. As far as the case being lose, mine fit very well with no wobbles.
Base too large to hold drive4/28/2011
The supplied mounting base is for a wider drive housing (I have an older Fantom that it fits well), so you have to pad it with thick tape to keep it from falling off when the drive is lifted. Fantom drives (I have two others) have been very reliable and stay cool, so hope this one is the same. I will use eSATA as I do on another Fantom. Too bad it is not USB 3.0, as I am running out of eSATA ports.
Fantom Drive2/1/2011
As advertised, nice drive, Operates quietly but it's a little slower than expected but not as slow as other drives. Works much better esata than USB.
Good drive big size cheap1/12/2011
This drive worked out of the box for usb2, however if one has a built in raid and has mounted a few raids it will NOT plug and play into built in esata ports. It can be configure through the bios however a pciexpress raid controller solved my problem.
great drive for a great price1/8/2011
2tb for 100 bucks, you can not beat that anywhere. basic drive for large storage, back-up for bluray movies. nice case, stays very cool,runs quiet. i now own three and have no complaints, and if you use the esata port it is very fast. BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT!!!!!
Perfect drive for streaming Blu-Rays!1/7/2011
I bought this primarily for streaming DVD and Blu-ray. With an average Blu-ray at 30-35GB and this drive able to hold 70 Blu-rays, This costs me $1.57 per DL Blu-ray movie to backup (109.99) as opposed to 4.00 each (280+) I backup my OS's and video & photos to an external drive that gets stored away. In order not to handle my DVD's and Blu-rays, I image them in .iso format and store them on this drive. I bought a $4 e-sata cable from ebay and this drive flies. It has no problems streaming 1920x1080P @60hz through HDMI to my big screen tv. The performance of the video from image is actually faster than playing the actual Blu-ray on my Samsung player and all the updates to the Blu-ray content are available if your computer is on-line. This drive is very quiet (except for when you first access it and it "spools up"). The led was rather too bright, so it got covered with a piece of black electrical tape. Overall, I'm super impressed with this drive!3 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Top Notch!1/6/2011
Excellent buy! Great price. Fast shipping. Perfect product! I highly recommend this product to all customers looking for a fast, reliable jumbo external storage drive. No larger than a normal external hard drive. Easy plug and play operation.
Great value1/5/2011
Super fast with eSata. Trivial setup. Silent. Stays cool.
Fantom Drives G-Force Black 2TB eSATA1/4/2011
Dependable drive so far. Installed easy and works solid. 3 year warranty makes the deal that much better. Quieter then the WD My Book it replaced. Seems to run cooler then the WD drives I've had in the past. Highly recommend.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
A lot in small package1/3/2011
Works well priced well
Good Value1/3/2011
This is a great drive for the money, runs cool and clean. The only problem I have is the noise it makes, which is a high pitch sounding a little like a leaf blower. Other than that it's fine, since I only turn it on when I'm creating archives.
External HD1/2/2011
Works and looks great! Very easy install.
Very nice external backup drive1/2/2011
I bought this drive specifically for scheduled partition image backups for my primary hard drive. It performs very well when connected via the eSata port, is super quiet and is only slightly warm to the touch after hours of operation. I highly recommend it.
Fantom Drives G-Force Black 2TB1/1/2011
I use the Fantom Drives G-Force Black 2TBdrive as a backup unit. I opened the box, plugged it in… and it works. I use it to store student assignments, grades comments and my classroom presentations. This is a very nice drive for its price and reliability.
Working well so far1/1/2011
This is a heavy block of metal. The metal cover seems to dissipate heat well. Not a speed demon on USB, but that's to be expected. I only use it for backups, so I let it run as long as required. The manual says it's designed to be left on (powered up), and the drive spins down after a while, but I use the power switch to turn it off after I use it.
Great Hard Drive1/1/2011
Easy Plug and Play. Lots of starage for the price.
Inexpensive eSATA Hard Drive12/18/2010
It's hard to find for this price another external hard drive matching the capacity and eSATA interface. My drive came with a 5400 rpm 32 MB cache Samsung HD204UI. I would prefer a 7200 rpm HD, but as a back up drive it works just fine. I assume, extra reliability, power saving and quiet acoustic come at the expense of a little bit of speed. The drive itself without the encosure is $100 at newegg.com, so this is a good buy, especially if you have an eSATA port on your compouter.
External Hard Drive12/12/2010
Can't beat 2 TB of storage for under $100. Easy to use just plug in and ready to go. No longer have to worry about what files to save and back up.
The right price for the job12/7/2010
I have an abundance of data to backup and these fit the bill. I ordered two of them and both seem to be functioning well with fast transfers. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who needs some extra space.
Fantom Drives G-Force Black 2TB eSATA / USB 2.0 Ha12/5/2010
Nice quite 2TB hard drive with USB 2.0 and eSATA ports. It does what it is suppose to do. This is my 3rd Fantom drive, and so far, no problems with any of them.
Pluged it in and it works great. I have the 2TB drive sitting on my desk next to an older fantom drive and they are both working fine. You do get a little whine from the drives when active but that is normal for all hard drives. I am using the esata and the transfer speeds are about what you would expect for a drive in this price range. So far no complaints.
Great drive11/15/2010
This is the second Fantom Drive purchased, the first (1TB ) is over a year old and no problem. Great unit, great design, run very cool, eSATA connection is very fast.I highly recommend it.

Follow-up to BioShock, 2K Games' critically acclaimed and commercially successful 2007 release, BioShock 2 is a first-person shooter set in the fictional underwater city of Rapture. As in the original game, BioShock 2 features a blend of fast-paced action, exploration and puzzle-solving as players follow varying paths through the overarching storyline based on the decisions that they are forced to make at various points in the game. In addition to a further fleshing out of the franchise's popular storyline, players can look forward to new characters, game mechanics, weapons, locations and a series first, multiplayer game options.
Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster — somehow familiar, yet still quite different from anything ever seen — has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city. It is a Big Sister, new denizens of Rapture who were once one of the forgotten little girls known as Little Sisters, known to inhabit the city's dank halls. No longer a pawn used to harvest ADAM, the dangerously powerful gene-altering lifeblood of Rapture, from the bodies of others and in turn run the risk of being harvested herself, the Big Sister is now the fastest and most powerful thing in Rapture. You, on the other hand are the very first Big Daddy, in fact the prototype, that for some reason has reactivated. You are similar to the Big Daddies familiar from the original BioShock, but also very different in that you possess free will and no memory of the events of the past ten years. The question is, as you travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city beneath the waves, hunting for answers and the solution to your own survival, are you really the hunter, or the hunted?
The most literate first person shooter of 2007 returns
|The multiplayer mode features a completely different story and even developer
|Will you save the Little Sisters or exploit them?
|As a Big Daddy you can now venture outside of Rapture and onto the sea floor
You play the original Big Daddy - a more independently minded prototype to the giant deep sea divers from the first game. The undersea world of Rapture has been taken over by the mysterious Big Sister, who has begun to kidnap children from coastal cities around the world.
A much larger range of plasmid powers are now available, as well as more standard weapons and the Big Daddy's iconic rivet gun and drill. The game's real conflict is emotional though, as you are once again forced to make a decision between sacrificing Little Sisters or protecting them and making your task even harder. Bioshock 2 will make you think, and not just about tactics.Key Features

Midst a hodgepodge of GTA 5 Alien sightings, UFO appearances, Flying Saucers, and jetpack rumors, a tantalizing unsolved mystery continues to frustrate players.
What Do These Symbols Mean?
Explorers have found spacecraft hovering over mountaintops and concealed in the skies high above significant landmarks. After meetingOmega in the desert, a series of glowing, pulsing Spaceship Parts appear scattered throughout San Andreas. Tracking them down leads to the creation of a tiny spacecraft, and unlocking of the Space Docker.
But none of this explains GTA 5′s greatest unsolved mystery: the meaning of the three most prominent Glyphs on a map painted atop Mt. Chiliad.
New Clues and Current Speculation
The UFO hippie camp near Sandy Shores is ringed with a trail of Alien script. Some players believe the script might contain a decipherable code.
The breaks between examples below are limited by video capture capibilities, not by any distinctive breaks in the text. Viewed left to right from the outside of the ring, the code reads:
Possible Alien Code Part 1
Possible Alien Code Part 2
Possible Alien Code Part 3
Possible Alien Code Part 4
Possible Alien Code Part 5
Possible Alien Code Part 6
Possible Alien Code Part 7
Possible Alien Code Part 8
Possible Alien Code Part 9
It's also possible that the code reads from the inside of the ring, in which case the images would be flipped and the order reversed.
Some players speculate that the Mt. Chiliad Map should be laid over the GTA 5 pack-in paper map to reveal a number of significant locations. Current efforts center around centering the map above the northward edge of the island, though this produces no discernible explanation for the three main Glyphs.
While intriguing, this theory fails to address the purpose of the connecting lines between Glyphs, as well as the three large symbols.
According to one report, accidental clipping into Mt. Chiliad reveals no known subterranean passages or complex, though the body of evidence is somewhat limited.
The Jetpack Connection
Online communities of UFO hunters have focused largely on a resemblance of the humanoid glyph to a person riding a jetpack. Many people believe that unlocking the riddle of Mrt. Chiliad will unlock access to this GTA unicorn item.
The Beginning of the Search
A cryptic painting on the wall of the Cable Car station atop Mt. Chiliad was one of the earliest sources of intrigue for GTA conspiracy-hunters.The main map is remarkably similar to the shaft and chamber layout of a pyramid, suggesting the possible existence of a subterranean dungeon. Also scattered around the image are a number of smaller markers. While the meaning of many of the symbols within have been encrypted, the large icons of cracking egg, a spaceship, and a humanoid form remain an intriguing puzzlement.
The symbol matches the UFO depicted in the Cable Car station painting. On the back of the platform it reads "Come back when your story is complete."
The carefully hidden painting beneath the platform atop Chiliad's highest point is the sighting point for a well-documented postgame Flying Saucer appearance, which takes place late at night during thunderstorms. Other symbols likely indicate other known Glyphs spaced around the mountain. The evidence strongly suggests a relationship between the mountain and the mysterious uninterpreted Glyphs.
Alien Flying Saucers
A crashed flying saucer is clearly visible in a deepsea cleft just off the northern shore of San Andreas.
Reports are now circulating of an Alien flying saucer which appears over Mt. Chiliad near the observation deck. The UFO appears only in thunderstorm conditions after 100% completion.
The flying saucer's appearance in stormclouds appears congruent with the lightning depicted in the nearby Cable Car glyph. As other weather-themed glyphs have also been found by users around the mountain, it stands to reason other fantastic visitors are hidden in different out-of-the-way nooks waiting to be discovered.
A second flying saucer is concealed in the air high above Fort Zancudo. The saucer is only visible with 100% Completion.
A third flying saucer is reported hiding in the air above the Sandy Shores hippie UFO shrine.
Other Alien Stuff
These flying saucers aren't the first hint of extra-terrestrial life in GTA 5. The GTA 5 Special Edition map includes a UFO part location revealed by exposure to black light.
Alien Glyphs are concealed throughout the map, including drawings on Mt. Chiliad, near the Altruist Camp, and at the Hippie Camp.
Aliens also make cameo appearances frozen in ice in the Prologue Mission and wandering the lots of the movie studio.
Aliens are also seen several times during hallucinations by Michael and sometimes other protagnists.

A LiveLeak user has found and uploaded videos that the biker who posted the original footage of the NYC Range Rover vs Biker road rage incident had tried to remove from his user page.
The footage is taken from various other rides and clearly shows the "gang" breaking the law on numerous occasions. These include running red traffic lights, riding on pavements and, at some points, even riding the wrong way into oncoming traffic.
Here are three of examples of the videos the bikers would prefer you didn't see.

I have 2 computers connected through a Linksys SE2500 ( http://www.linksys.com/en-apac/products/switches/SE2500/). It's either CAT 5e or 6. There is 20 feet of cable total, maybe.
The 2500 is connected to another router.
The PCs are Windows 7 home and Windows 7 pro. Working off the home PC to the pro PC is amazingly slow. We're talking 50kb/s. Yes...KILO. Trying to navigate folders is painfully slow. If I go to the pro and copy to the home machine it's fast.
Internet connection is fine on both PCs.
It did not used to be like this...obviously I changed something but I'm not sure what it was.
Both PCs have MS Sec essentials. Connection to the 'net is fine.
I started a new thread because the fixes on other threads didn't work for me.
The home PC only has 100Mb speed via it's laptop port. The pro machines a realtek GBe motherboard port.
I turned off RDC, speed and duplex on auto.
I pinged the pro from the home and no packet loss.
Does anyone have any ideas?

How are you doing a copy, are you running homegroups?
Lets actual speed test we can use.. Robocopy is part of windows u can use that to copy files between machines so we can see tests. Also lets do a network test for speed with say iperf or netio
Simple exe - you copy the exe to both machines. On one machine you run with -s as the server, and then on other machine you run with -c ipaddressorname of the server machine and lets see some results
Or netio
So here is example of iperf in one direction where 192.168.1.8 is the server.. Lets see your test in both directions

MANSFIELD, Conn. - Senior All-America third baseman Arielle Cooper (Mystic) continued her offensive onslaught this season with two home runs, two doubles and a triple as the Eastern Connecticut State University softball team swept its fourth consecutive doubleheader, 9-1 in six innings and 8-0 in five innings against Lesley University Wednesday afternoon at the Eastern Softball Field.
Cooper was 3-for-4 with a double, triple and home run, scored three runs and drove in three in the opener, and was 4-for-4 with a homer and double, scored three runs and drove in two in the nightcap. She improved her season batting average by 42 percentage points to .625 and has eight home runs, nine doubles, three triples, 74 total bases and a 1.321 slugging percentage this year for Eastern (11-5), riding an eight-game winning streak.
Cooper has 12 multiple-hit and seven multiple-RBI games this year. After setting a program record with a 33-game hitting streak last year, Cooper has hit safely in every game this year. She has homered in each of the last four games and has extended her program career home run record to 32.
The game was a re-match of the first round of the 2012 NCAA Division III regional tournament, won 10-1 in five innings by Eastern at the Eastern Softball Field.
Ranked first nationally in doubles per game (2.75), Eastern collected seven against Lesley (4-12) to go along with three home runs and two triples and recorded 25 hits to up its season batting average from .379 to .391. The Warriors are ranked ninth nationally in that category.

Sophomore rightfielder Sam Rossetti (Shelton) was 5-for-7 and freshman shortstop Alyssa Hancock (Waterford) 4-for-5. Rossetti homered for the second time in two days, and also doubled twice, drove in four runs and scored two. Hancock drove in three runs with two doubles and a triple and scored three. Freshman infielder Alyssa Dumphy (Southington) drove in her first career run with a run-producing ground ball as a pinch hitter in the second game.
Senior righty Christine Akcer (Milford) pitched a complete-game five-hitter without allowing an earned run in the opener with two strikeouts and no walks, and sophomore righty Shannon Martin (Wethersfield) and freshman righty Emily Komornik (Shelton) combined on a four-hit shutout in the nightcap. Martin allowed three hits over the first four innings without a walk or strikeout and Komornik gave up one hit and one walk in one inning. All nine of Lesley's hits were singles.
Junior centerfielder Maria Nazzaro had three hits and freshman rightfielder Jodee Doka and sophomore catcher Allison Fountain two each.
Eastern hosts the University of Southern Maine Saturday at 1 p.m. in a Little East Conference doubleheader.

Twitchy shines a light on some tweets by comedians Elayne Boosler and Bill Maher, who used an identical argument to admonish the tea party. That if the tea party had just not been opposed to taxes, they wouldn't have gotten the treatment.
On the segment Really! with Seth and Amy, Saturday Night Live player Amy Poehler used the same tack to suggest that the tea party had it coming. "Really, Tea Party, really? You're surprised you are targeted by the IRS? You named yourself after a group of people who proudly and historically violated tax laws. Look, if I had a vanity license plate that said, "Weed 420″, I might expect to get pulled over now and then."
These are comedians. So laugh.
Representative Brady was right to ask the question "Is this still America?" of the IRS chief last week, but it implies that the government would never use its power to single out people who look or think a certain way. There are cases where unjust profiling has been used by law enforcement and this isn't the first rodeo for conservative groups getting the treatment from the IRS.
But the issue is whether the government has the authority to control an individual or group of individuals based on their opposition to its policies. The argument from the left concedes that privilege is vested in those who control the governing authority. How does this rationale fit in with the rest of the left's concurrence with the sovereignty of big government?
It is said, redundantly, that one's individual rights should be weighed against the good of the whole. Yet, when an expression of thought lands on the back bumper of your car, or a sign at a rally, or your license plate, you are to expect to be scrutinized as an individual by authority. Government abuse of the individual is not any different from their mantra and institutionalized belief system that the 'man is trying to keep you down,' so rise up and 'fight the power' of corporations, industrialists and the rich, except for the fact that an individual, a corporation, or an industrialist cannot force you to buy into their perceived scheme. The government can, and is reflected by the view of those who reject their own sovereignty, that the government is the ultimate authority.
It's all about coercion. The plain fact is that a corporate head can't make you buy his product, but the government can make you, under penalty of fines or jail, purchase your freedom of harassment by compliance.
Yet that is how the IRS is set up, and now, they are moving into the great uncharted waters of forcing compliance to a newly created, hyper-partisan healthcare law, the keystone of which is a coercive mandate to purchase that which you may not want, nor have funds for.
No accommodation has been made for you as an individual, especially if you have complained, because the all-powerful government has determined that your problems are to be ignored for the good of the whole.
Isn't the ultimate argument against slavery, the fact that one man cannot own another? That one cannot exert control over another, force him to perform tasks under threat of abuse?
Conservatives argue, in varying degrees, that the individual is the ultimate minority, and that good government respects the diversity of thought and ingenuity of each individual contribution. Our Bill of Rights guarantee freedom of expression in matters of politics, religion, and includes the written and spoken word. It is that expression that is under attack from a government whose ultimate authority was set up to be in the hands of the people. The ultimate authority was vested in the people, not whoever was elected to govern.
The suggestion that someone 'had it coming,' tells of the mindset and hypocrisy of the left, and blows to smithereens the assumption that we are created equal, as written in the Declaration of Independence.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
Independent thought and the expression of it, is a guaranteed right, not by the authority of government, but by the authority of our Creator. It is a faith in government, or more pointedly, a faith in man, that hands us over to his abuses.
Certain government spokespeople, most notably, Pelosi's rant about "anti-government ideology," and Harry Reid's assumptions "against government in any form," stand by their rhetoric that the tea party, and its political allies, are against government. But the crux of the matter is not that patriotic Americans are against government, but that an all-powerful government stands against us.
If silly, thought-deficient comedic expression attempts to justify the actions of the controlling authority, it's not only not funny, but offers the 'powers that be' a pass on selective abuse, and subverts individuality of thought in favor of a government's insistence to its current norm.
Power to the people.

First of Tea Party groups were not profiled. They were deliberately targeted and suppressed. I am tired of lightning the action by IRS anything other than bullying. It is no coincidence. They took the cue from the top. IRS was nothing but attack dog for the current administration.
Thank you.

Thank you Mark…..loud voices are what we conservatives need right now. Please keep it up…..and you libtards who bother to learn from Mr. Levin, listen up and read hard. This is your country too and we don't need this crap.
I'm not Mark Levin:) But thanks for the compliment.
LOL that assumes that anyone is actually FAMILIAR with HISTORY……so what? 5% of the general population? LOL

I think it is becoming relevant that the American People are slowly waking up to what this Liberal Scum really is. I think there uncommon sense and constant lies they have had there 5 years of NOTHING positive for this Country. It will be very soon they will be back seat drivers and the real drivers will just turn up the radio. They are Garbage, Have NO heart, and completely useless to any productive society. They had there hay day and soon the lights will be turned off and this disaster and nightmare will finally come to some closure. I hope God destroys all of them with NO mercy for the nothing that they are….
My hat goes off to the most patriotic American in this country, Mark Levin! He loves America from sea to shining sea and is passionate about this countrys leaders when they try to walk all over our constitution. I really wish he were more in charge of the Tea Party or Republican party! He is a true conservative! Agreat Role Model for every generation!
Jerry F. Wetzel
My father taught me a very important lesson while I was growing up. My father was just such a man as to stand up for his rights even if it meant coming to blows, which he did on several occasions. The theme that he taught me was, "Your rights end where my nose begins." That is to say that your rights are fine for you as long as they do not infringe over into MY TERRITORY. Once you infringe upon my rights, then I have the right and the obligation to strike back, regardless how large or how small the infringement. So, if you have a belief whether it might be the Muslim beliefs or homosexuality, as long as you constrain your beliefs within your own territory, I have no problem. But, when you try to force me to recognize or support those activities that I do not approve of or accept, then you have overstepped your bounds and should expect a reaction from me whether it be verbal, mental, or physical. I am completely within my rights. The Constitution gives me and grants to me these rights. If and when you try to remove my rights, then you have become the lawbreaker and should expect to suffer the consequences.
Well said but the Constitution does not give you these rights. God or nature did as an irrefutable mechanism for you to exist. The Constitution was designed from scratch to insure that the Federal Government would not meddle with what is self-evident as part of our nature and civilization. Going beyond what Jefferson stated in the Declaration I can say that these rights are even more than self-evident; they can be proven by scientific methods that can be defended from any challenge.
Well said.
Jersey Dave
I'd been wondering if some liberals understood the precedent, that if something happened to one set of groups it could happen to any groups, even ones they agreed with. But considering that the IRS was giving tax info to liberal 501c3 media groups it drives home the point that some of the lard left don't care because they have the understanding that the rules are set one way for them and another for their opposition. They will have cover and protection and their opposition will not, so attack away. This is very, very foolish. The First Amendment was never written to cover only speech and speakers one agrees with, but some on the far left are showing they no longer care about this. Well, they went after the second first, and some could argue the fourth as well. If those protections are removed the people doing it are doing so with the believe they can then control more. What they are doing is dismantling checks and balances which is even more dangerous, but they can't see it yet. __Hopefully there is enough media left with sense and enough people in both parties left who will see the danger. If there isn't this will go to some very bad places, like Woodrow Wilson vs. the Suffragettes places, before it gets any better.
Jerry Gerardi
"if the tea party had just not been opposed to taxes, they wouldn't have gotten the treatment."-[-"to suggest that the tea party had it coming."
This is of course the most absurd asinine argument, liberal idiots would make- ie; it only you shut up, you would be targeted, is like saying – if only you girls hadn't worn sexy outfits, you wouldn't have been raped.. ie; you caused it upon yourself..
This is the kind of asinine stupidity that liberal think, but that's why hey are liberals, illogically unintelligently braindead useful idiots, to which they are naive ignorant tools to the left's end goal of marxist leninist stalinist maoist communism / the end of Individual Freedom and Liberty.
Maybe someone should carefully explain to Amy Poehler that a Republican President using the FCC to go after, in general, NBC, and in particular, SNL, would be the same deal.
Liberals are just intellectually shallow people. They refuse to think things through.
Someone once said that "Liberalism is a mental disorder." Seems about right.
Stu Cozza
Do not kid yourself… liberals (aka, "progressives") know exactly what they are doing and have thought it through to the end game and the end result.
To me this is one of the best articles Jen has written. It explains what is at the core of conservatism and clearly addresses the most fundamental aspect which is individual liberty.
This is a defining concept to the extent that if you understand the principle you are a conservative; if you don't then I feel sorry for you as well as myself and all other conservatives because you are part of a constituency that can cause great misery and suffering for everyone including yourself as the recipient of the problems you so often help create.
awww, thanks:)
That is no surprise the comedians have that same totalitarian socialist mind set as the IRS workers they believe "The end justifies the means "
"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness to the extent this current administration is willing to allow you to have" updated progressive version.

Excellent, well done.

Peyton vs. Perfection
It's the Game Of The Year so far: the prolific Denver Broncos vs. the stingy Kansas City Chiefs. Can Peyton Manning and company hand K.C. its first loss?
This AFC West showdown between the Broncos and Chiefs is as good as it gets for football in November. No division rivals have ever squared off with fewer than two losses between them so late in the season. The Broncos (8-1) are scoring an obscene 41.2 points per game, by far the best in the NFL. The Chiefs (9-0) are giving up just 12.3 points per contest, also a league best. As Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton once taught us, something's gotta give.
Broncos offense vs. Chiefs defense
1. Pressuring Peyton
A hot topic right now is Peyton Manning's protection. It hasn't been great in recent weeks, which is to be somewhat expected given that anchor Ryan Clady (IR) has been replaced by Chris Clark. The 28-year-old undrafted journeyman has given up a few critical blind-side hits, though he's not the only culprit on this struggling line. Right tackle Orlando Franklin also has been caught flat-footed a few times. Manning, with precise pocket movement and rapid progression-read ability, is generally able to overcome shoddy protection. But two bum ankles—plus copious bumps and bruises on his 37-year-old-body—make eluding pressure a taller order these days.
The Chiefs know how to apply pressure. Tamba Hali and Justin Houston give defensive coordinator Bob Sutton the rare privilege of scheming with dynamic rushers from both edges. One of the two almost always faces one-on-one pass blocking. Both might see it frequently at the same time on Sunday night, as Manning prefers to go with a minimum five-man protection in order to have five eligible receivers at his disposal. (This is one reason why running back Knowshon Moreno catches so many short passes.)
Kansas City has been one of the most complex and successful blitzing teams in the NFL this season, particularly on 3rd-and-long when Sutton loves to play dime and send speedy corners and safeties after the quarterback. Though a sizeable chunk of Kansas City's league-leading 36 sacks have come out of complex pressure packages, don't expect Sutton to use a lot of them against the Broncos. Most defensive coordinators refrain from blitzing Manning. The Chargers had some success with it, but they only called for pressure in the second half after it became apparent that their defensive backs could not compete with Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas. Kansas City's defensive backs can challenge those receivers.
2. The Man-to-Man Matchups
The closest any defense has come to slowing Denver was Indianapolis's, when cornerbacks Vontae Davis, Greg Toler and Darius Butler stymied Manning's receivers for most of the first three quarters in Week 7. (Injuries to Davis and Butler changed Indy's fortunes down the stretch.) The Broncos know how to beat man coverage—they've mastered barely legal pick plays and intertwined crossing patterns—but they have yet to face a man-coverage defense as sturdy as the Chiefs'. At the same time, Kansas City hasn't faced an offense with these types of weapons. The following individual matchups will likely determine the outcome of the game:
Outside: CBs Sean Smith and Marcus Cooper vs. WRs Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker
Smith is lanky and physical, though he's been a bit shaky as of late. (Receiver Stevie Johnson was right when he said that Smith's 98-yard pick-six against Buffalo was "lucky." Smith was in position to make that interception only because Johnson had juked him so far sideways off the line of scrimmage.) When Smith plays with discipline, he's one of the best boundary defenders in the game. But if he gets antsy against double moves—something Thomas and Decker perform extremely well—he could wind up in trouble.
On the other side, Cooper, a seventh-round pick of the Niners this past spring, is a legitimate Rookie of the Year candidate. He has an innate sense for playing both the ball and the receiver in isolated coverage against vertical routes on the outside. He also has good closing quickness when working back to the ball, especially for someone who is 6-2. For all of Cooper's merits, don't be surprised if Manning still tests him early. The young corner did get beat twice due to missteps in his press-jam technique in Kansas City's last game.
Inside: CB Brandon Flowers vs. slot receiver Wes Welker
Since Week 5, Flowers, one of the NFL's best boundary corners, has been playing the slot in nickel and dime. So far, the results have been stellar. Flowers is a surprisingly good blitzer, and more importantly, he knows how to apply his physicality in the wider spaces that come with playing inside. Most corners, even elite ones, can't do that. We'll find out on Sunday whether Flowers really is a slot aficionado. He's yet to face an inside receiver of Welker's caliber.
Inside: SS Eric Berry vs. TE Julius Thomas
Berry has transformed from a liability to an asset covering tight ends—though he hasn't been severely tested except for when he controlled Jason Witten one-on-one in Week 2. The Broncos have the most dynamic tight end in the AFC not named Rob Gronkowski. And their system does a good job getting Thomas open by design.
3. Building Offense
Contrary to popular belief, the Broncos don't do many complicated things offensively. Instead, they do many simple things really well. One is called "building offense," meaning they use certain plays early in the game to set up other plays later in the game. Defenders think they're spotting something familiar, but they're actually being set up to be exploited. The good thing about being a man-based defense (like the Chiefs) is you're a less susceptible to this sort of deception because coverage defenders don't see the ball or route designs to begin with; their focus is solely on their man.
This doesn't mean the Broncos won't try to build offense. Instead of doing it with a combination of two or three different routes, they'll do it on a more individualized basis. We saw a great example of this with Demaryius Thomas scoring two touchdowns at San Diego.
Kansas City's cornerbacks must concentrate on getting stops, not interceptions. If they start cheating against Denver's routes, they'll get burned by a twist.
Chiefs offense vs. Broncos defense
There's a perception that Denver's defense is iffy, maybe even porous. That's only because its two bad performances happened to coincide with the team's two most-watched games: Week 5 at Dallas, and Week 7 at Indy. Take out those contests and this group is allowing a respectable 21.6 points per game.
The Chiefs lack the same offensive firepower that the Cowboys or Colts have. Their system hinges on Jamaal Charles being able to turn the outside corner in the ground game, and converting a few screens into first downs. Their passing game is limited, mainly because Alex Smith is committed to doing whatever it takes to not lose games. So far he's been successful in this regard, but in order for the undefeated Chiefs to be genuine Super Bowl contenders, he at some point will have to actually make plays to win a game. This doesn't mean making a gutsy play late in the fourth quarter; it means having the fortitude to consistently take advantage of big-play opportunities.
Smith is nowhere close to doing that right now. The TV camera angles that get beamed into living rooms across the country might show Smith not throwing interceptions. What those camera angles don't show, however, is him missing wide-open receivers at the intermediate levels. They also don't show him abandoning plays before receivers have finished their routes. We can see this, though, thanks to the All-22 film.
As this game probably will prove, Kansas City's defense can't keep holding opponents to under 20 points while also creating points of its own each week. Kansas City's offense (i.e. Smith) will have to get sharper.
Head over to Page 2 for a preview of Thursday night's game between the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans…
Peyton is no spring chicken. He won't have the stamina to withstand the pass rush pressure even if the rush doesn't result in a lot sacks.
Great points. For me, It's the Chief's week this week
All good and thoughtful comments, I don't think that people understand Alex's mind set. I have been watching from the start and he seems to rise to the occasion when necessary. He did it in 2011 seven times. He is really cool under pressure. Remember there is never been any other QB in SF to do that not even the great Joe Montana.
Denver is #1 in passing for both QB & receivers. Manning has zero mobility and the running game is not used much. KC is rather ordinary offensively, but very balanced. The game could come down to key defensive playmaking. Denver is #4 in giveaways, where KC is #1 in turnover differential. KC is #1 in sacs and #1 in stuff percentage and #1 in 3rd down efficiency. Whether they will be able to continue an aggressive pass rush against one of the best QB's, with so many very good receivers, is difficult to know, but this strategy worked for the Colts.
Chiefs are 24th in league vs run, no pass rush, difficulties scoring. No turnovers could be 48-10 ugly
Of course Manning is hurt, he is playing a decent D. If they hit him early he will fold like a paper bag.
Manning's injury will impact the Bronco's chances to win. His footwork will not be at 100%, and against a tough defensive line like the Chiefs he will be under pressure to get the ball out early. However, he should be able to pull through and have the Broncos win, my final is 17-14. However, the chiefs should win the rematch in arrowhead by about 6-7 points.
The two most likely scenarios for a Chiefs victory involve the Broncos playing without one or more key starters.
Losing Manning might possibly change a thing or two about the Broncos execution on offense but another overlooked secondary lynchpin is Knowshon Moreno. The struggles of Denver's young running backs have created a situation in which Moreno may have no fully effective backup.
The Broncos can run 90% of their offense with Ronnie HIllman but his fumbling issues have made him inactive on Sundays for the last several weeks.
It's not clear what the Broncos offense would look like with rookie running backs under center 100% of the time. There's the no-huddle signal calling, there's the complicated pass protection schemes, there's the timing for chip blocking and the route discipline. How much do they know? No outsider knows the answer to that question but it seems obvious that the Broncos would rest Moreno more if they had that option.
Manning is going to come out looking to punch the Chiefs in the mouth and see if they can cover ALL of his targets. The pass rush generally only becomes a factor after about 1.5 seconds so if the bump coverage isn't perfect then the train is leaving the station. That first impact between the leagues best units will have a huge influence on the course of the game.
If the Broncos score quickly then they can pick and choose between revving the offense and grinding the clock. Conversely, if the Chiefs defense can put some big first quarter hits on Manning, especially with turnovers and points, then the Broncos may be forced to adjust the fundamentals of their offense, doubling Poe and keeping skill players in blocking roles. They might be forced to abandon their favorite "posse" personnel package and go with two or three tight ends.
The problem for the Chiefs is that the Broncos don't have to blow up the scoreboard to win this game. Del Rio's defenses tend to be very good at scheming for limited weapons and the Chiefs' weapons are among the most limited in the league. Conversely, the Broncos could go conservative with their three tight end package and still be very dangerous because all those tight ends can catch.
The Chiefs almost have to get touchdowns from their defense or return game to win.
Tim, Smith is cool under pressure and is a fourth quarter player. If Denver is close in the 4th qt. then the favor goes to the Chiefs, they play under control and can keep the ball away from Denver. Fatigue at that altitude may be another factor. The chiefs seem to be prepared for that with their conditioning. We will see.
Good analysis... I agree for most part. You can throw all the stats out the window...this game will come down to execution...who plays as close to mistake free football as possible. Cooper and Smith have to have their best games of the season. Berry, with help,hopefully will keep thomas in check. Hali and Houston HAVE to re-ignite the non blitz pass rush. Poe/johnson and company have to keep the run game in check as well as the underneath. Generate takeaways is key.
I think Alex Smith knows exactly what he needs to do, and more importantly, I think andy reid knows exactly what he needs to get Alex to do to win this game. They need to use the fullback and one of the tightends to brutalize the denver defensive edges.....with Not just charles but davis and grey. They have got to get bowe going in the intermediate routes, along with Fasano and McGrath..just to open up the field a bit. I fully expect Alex to play his best game this week...sort of a rebound and put up a couple passing touch downs. I see Jamal having one rushing touch down, and the defense putting up a touchdown. A field goal or two is possible.. giving the chiefs 28-36 points.
Defense playing best game,... denver scoring 28 or less.
I think Peter doesn't watch the whole game, what he missed, was the drives were stopped by penalties and dropped passes. You must remember Smith knows how to sling it when he has to and that may show up on Sunday.
@MannySilva - Yes; and Peyton is becoming more frustrated and cranky with each game he plays. During the Charger game, he was yelling at the refs.
Ball and Hillman have been very disappointing - particularly Hillman, who has had a year in the system and shouldn't be putting the ball on the ground. Ball still has the "I'm a rookie" thing to fall back on. Another back to consider - CJ Anderson. He might not be as powerful as Ball or as fast as Hillman - but he's been somewhat reliable. I wouldn't be surprised, if the Moreno dude goes down; we see more of CJ Anderson.
@trangthetroll I agree with your game plan but no way will the Chiefs put up 28 points against the Broncos D. They are barely putting up 20 points a game and the Broncos D is better than the stats indicate. I see this being 24 -17 Broncos. I will be at the game in Arrowhead and that one will be much closer. As for this game The Broncos will win easily if they don't turn the ball over 3 or more times.
@MannySilva There is a byline to the right of each headline. Peter King doesn't write all the articles. This one was by Andy Benoit.
That said, I'm hoping we'll see some more offense from the Chiefs this week. There have been too many nail-biters this season...
@MannySilva Smith is terrible. If he doesn't start taking more risks, the Broncos will win by three touchdowns. I've watched and rewatched every Broncos game and have also watched over half of the Chiefs games...
The Broncos will get at the very minimum of three touchdowns and two or three more FGs, so where are the points going to come from if Smith continues his Captain Checkdown routine against one of the best coverage linebacker groups in the league and a unit that held LeSean McCoy to 70 yards rushing and also near the top in the league against the run?
Chiefs fans don't want to admit it, but even with a great defense they won't be able to stop the Four Horsemen from getting their catches and touchdowns. The Chiefs offense needs to be able to come and play ball and so far they are regressing into something frighteningly bad.
@MERRILL2310 @trangthetroll The Chiefs have played 3 top 10 defenses. They can score 28 against the Broncos.
@TimLynch1978 @MannySilva - Yeah, 9-0 is just awful like Alex is, right?
@TimLynch1978 @MannySilva Fear not Tim (The Banner) Lynch... When the LB's are sitting tight on the short routes is when Smith will open up. Of course you think the Broncos will stop the Chiefs offense and that the Broncos will score their points on the Chiefs defense. Maybe it will work out that way at Mile High but then again maybe not. Even if it does they play at Arrowhead in two weeks where the Broncos could only muster 17 points last year. Funny there is that magic 17 points again. If they split chances are the third game will be a Arrowhead. Sounds like fun to me....
@ChandlerLewis @MERRILL2310 @trangthetroll No, they can't, and won't. By the fourth quarter look for a Broncos blowout.
@blynder @kisersosay @TimLynch1978 @MannySilva I will be at the game in arrowhead. It will definitely be a closer game that I expect tomorrow nights game to be, but bottom line is if the Broncos don't turn the ball over no team in the league can score with them. We only lost to Indy because we had 4 turnovers, 1 in the end zone and 1 as we were about to get the go ahead touchdown from the 2 yard line.
@kisersosay @TimLynch1978 @MannySilva
What did the Chiefs score in that game at Arrowhead last year? Arrowhead is a TOUGH place to play; always has been. Denver isn't exactly an easy place to play either. If Denver's D shows up in Arrowhead like it did last year, (yes, certainly we can all agree that Alex Smith is NO Brady Quinn) 17 points will be more than enough.

Re: The AT&T Mirror Dance
That wasn't my point. It's almost amusing to see how closely AT&T (and specifically AT&T), stays to the script. Verizon does something and ATT follows closely behind. And, you're right. It's to stay competitive. However, in a long list of moves from ATT that mimic Verizon's, this is one that would be nice to see from them. I'm just wondering if anyone will notice if they don't follow suit to help the efforts in Haiti.

At Road to the Horse, I donated my chaps to a charity auction to help our returning veterans. These are the same chaps that I was wearing when I won the RTTH championship in 2009. It was a great cause, and I was sure happy to do it. John Brand at Buckaroo Leather didn't want to see my go "chapless," so he replicated my auctioned chaps and made me a brand new pair. I am now riding in style once again! Thanks John and Buckaroo Leather!.....Richard Winters of Richard Winters Horsemanship

The opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) party has called on the Government of Liberia (GoL) to place a hold on awarding additional oil blocks to multilateral companies. The party said it was not prudent to continue to divide up the country's unstable economic commodity in the face of what it called weak national oil policy.
The CDC urged the government to use the already awarded oil blocks to yield the needed economic viability and a trickledown effect on the lives of ordinary of citizens.
The party's call was contained in a 12-page document titled: "CDC Official Response To The President Message."
The document, which was released recently at the party's headquarters in Congo Town, outside Monrovia by the National Deputy Secretary-General Mr. Samora P.Z Wolokollie, commended the government and at the same time criticized the government on several national issues.
According to the party, only a marginal fraction of funding by the NOCAL is being used towards developing the oil sector.
"The country would have appreciated information on the state of oil discovery, information on prospecting, the awarding of oil blocks and issues bordering on the national oil policy," the party said. The CDC also called for the administration of NOCAL to be scrutinized thoroughly.
"If this country is to be protected, Liberians must increase their capacity in the oil sector, which is presently dominated by foreigners. We propose that capacity building consumes at least 50% of the current NOCAL budget. This would develop a legion of Liberian hydro-economists, geologists, geophysicists and many other technical experts 2017," the party added.
