INDEPENDENCE — A Grayson County grand jury indicted a Galax man April 24 on 13 charges, several of them sex-related.
William Estill Crigger, 29, of Skyline Highway, Galax, was indicted on five charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, sodomy, possession of child pornography, one count of indecent liberties with a child by a custodian and five charges of indecent liberties with a child less than 15 years of age.
An indictment is a formal charge, not a finding of guilt.
Galax scored 15 runs in the span of two innings and thumped Narrows 16-3 in a Mountain Empire District baseball game Friday at Felts Park.
Galax (8-3 overall, 2-1 district) broke a 1-1 tie by scoring six runs in the third inning, all coming with two outs and the bases empty. Todd Nichols and Travis Cockerham both doubled in the third.
The first nine Maroon Tide batters to step to the plate all scored in the fourth before Narrows recorded an out. Galax coupled five hits with three Green Wave errors for the rally.
RADFORD –– The season is only three races old, but so far, Brent Bell is batting a perfect 1.000.
Bell won his third Street Stock race in three starts on April 18, claiming both ends of the Price's Body Shop/SCI Roofing Twin 30s at Motor Mile Speedway.
Bell has put his Camaro on the pole for all three races and has led every lap of all three races at the .416-mile asphalt oval, jumping to an early 16-point lead in the season points standings.
Dee Walker slugged Galax into an early lead and the Maroon Tide blew the game open in the sixth inning to pick up its first win of the season, bashing Fort Chiswell 13-2 in a Mountain Empire District game Monday at Mountain View Park.
Walker's three-run home run spotted the Maroon Tide (1-7) a 4-1 lead in the third inning.
Galax led 5-1 when it pushed eight runs across in the bottom of the sixth with six walks and singles by Bailey Shumate, Janisa Lawson and Channing Russell.
HILLSVILLE -- Michael Francis knocked in a loose ball in the final minutes Monday night to lift Marion to a 2-1 win in a Southwest District boys' soccer match at Tommy Thompson Field.
For the Cavaliers, the feeling of coming up on the short end of a one-goal match is too familiar.
INDEPENDENCE -- Grayson County's second one-run win over Fort Chiswell this season didn't have a lot in common with the first one. Other than one similarity, that is.
"They were both wars," said Grayson County coach Mike Worrell after his Blue Devils rallied from four runs down to defeat the Pioneers 7-6 Tuesday at the GNB Baseball Complex.
Looking for a house a few blocks from Palm Beach in sunny Florida?
Susannah Pushkin, whose grandparents were originally from Baywood, is hoping someone will agree to trade her a home in Galax in exchange for her 1,358-square-foot house in Lantana, Fl.
Pushkin is the owner of a two-story, 100-year-old farmhouse in the Baywood community of Grayson County, and is looking for something to do with the property. In order to begin working on the place, she needs a home back in Galax.
Holly Padgett Parker of Raleigh, N.C., is a Galax native and the city was her home for 27 years. "I miss it every single day," she says.
Let's talk a little bit about dialect and colloquialisms.
A few years ago, I was offered a hostess position at a very ritzy restaurant in downtown Raleigh, N.C. The owner and my company had done some business together and the owner was so impressed with my demeanor and professionalism that he asked me to come to work on a part-time basis and train potential hostesses about customer service and attitude.
HILLSVILLE — The Carroll County supervisors added responsibilities for water and sewer projects and operations to the county administrator's duties after a joint closed meeting Monday between the county board and the Public Service Authority.
The board and the authority members emerged from an unusual joint closed session at the supervisors' regular April meeting and ended the interim appointment of Assistant County Administrator Ronald Newman as director of the PSA.
When the show's over, actors Randy Carico and Art Pemberton might have an identity crisis.
The pair stars in the Galax Theatre Guild and New River Players production of the popular laugh-out-loud comedy "Greater Tuna," opening later this month at the Rex Theater in downtown Galax.
Carico, of Pinnacle, N.C., and Pemberton, of Galax, portray all of the 20 eccentric characters — of both genders and various ages — in the town of Tuna, Tex.
They quickly change personas and costumes throughout the production.

"whiff" comes from the sound of missing something - that rush of air as something sails by or when you swing a baseball bat and hit nothing but air, etc.
On the Hand of Protection issue: if it's not clearly labeled as a spell it's probably considered a physical action. CS, for example, is clearly a physical action, whereas Exorcism is clearly a spell. I know you can also use conc, holy wrath, all your healing spells, and buffs while HoPed, but most other things are blocked. If you cast it on someone aside from yourself (which you should almost always do and use Divine Shield for yourself), by-and-large if they are a melee player it will screw them over (for attacks anyway) and if they are a caster they can just keep plugging away.

Cornerback Brent Grimes (knee surgery) was officially declared out of the game.

A win Sunday for Atlanta will come down to OL protecting Ryan to give him time to pass and work his magic and the DL getting after Tj making him have to throw quickly. Atlanta needs to run that no-huddle throughout the game to keep their defense( Texans) off key. They rock in that no-huddle as for what makes it work, no idea, other than they rally around Ryan and he must see things none else sees. The guy is really amazing in that no-huddle, its like a completely different football team on the field. They need Michael Turner in this game badly so maybe he will be ready to go on Sunday.
If the Atlanta D puts some heat on Tj, he may get rattled and make some mistakes considering this is a bigtime football game for him. With the Atlanta secondary shaken up with injuries the front seven will really have to step it up for a change. Probably the hardest game so far this year for them this Sunday. They have got to blitz some to get after the young Texas QB .

Cool game between the Falcons at Saints last year, did Atlanta have ' the eye of the tiger ' ?
December 2nd, 2011
11:24 pm
Also, the key is to make three and outs for the Texan offense, so their defense is constantly on the field. I do not care how good your defense is; if you're on the field the whole time, eventually you'll tire.
To be honest with you. I am excited to see more touches with Quizz. I'd love to see what that kid is really made of. So, if Turner needs to sit out more plays, I don't mind at all.

Did Julio Jones spend this much time on the sidelines at Alabama? Hope this doesn't become the tale of his career.
December 3rd, 2011
6:44 am
I guess you could start Turner and if you get a good lead, Jaquizz and Snelling can add punch to the running game. You can also use the short pass to combat their pass rush- if the O line can't keep Ryan upright. Similar to the strategy last week against the Vikings. The Falcons should sign Abraham to a two year contract and let Kroy Bierman go, if they feel Sidbury is going to be productive going forward. My bold prediction is the Falcons secondary will look totally different next year.

Its a cool beautiful Saturday morning here in the mountains drinking a hot cup of coffee and sitting by the wood stove and I think I'll make a call on that Sunday Game with the Texans……………………………………………………………..Atlanta 26——Houston 17.
Two touches and about 4 field goals should do it !
December 3rd, 2011
7:44 am
Hopefully with Turner being a little banged up, Quizz will get more touches like we've all been screaming for. He is our Sproles. The sooner we start using him that way, the better. I thought that was why we drafted him. The guy can play, and he will help us if he's ever given an opportunity.
December 3rd, 2011

That little guy is a good set-up man when the Falcons are backed up with a penalty and 3rd and long and need a first down, he's done it before and he may do it again in Sunday's Battle.

If ANYone wants J. Puker let them have his arse. I find the whole, "I'm so special I have to be called by three names," crap to be way beyond annoying. And sports announcers who go along with this stupid crap to be just as guilty and stupid sounding. They are the same ones who will call Ted Turner Stadium, "The Ted" (an unoriginal insipid idea that copies "The Jake.") Morons, like the proverbial birds, do flock together.

|Mets send Pelfrey to Triple-A
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 13 May 2007 07:31
Pelfrey won the fifth spot in the rotation with a strong spring training but went 0-5 with a 6.53 ERA in six starts for the Mets. He allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings in New York's 12-3 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday.
``It's a business,'' Pelfrey said. ``I didn't win any games. You have to win to be here. Right now I think it's for the best.''
The Mets didn't immediately announce a starter to replace Pelfrey, who was set to go against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, but manager Willie Randolph mentioned reliever Aaron Sele and minor league left-hander Jason Vargas as possibilities.
Sele is 1-0 with a 4.11 ERA in nine relief appearances but has been a starter for most of his career. He went 8-6 with a 4.53 ERA in 28 games with the Dodgers last season, 15 starts.
Vargas is 2-3 with a 5.30 ERA in seven starts with New Orleans.
Gomez made his major league debut Sunday against the Brewers, getting the start in right field. The 21-year-old hit .286 with two homers and 13 RBIs with the Zephyrs. He also stole 17 bases.
Regular right fielder Moises Alou sat out with a strained left quadriceps and could be headed for the disabled list. He came out in the seventh inning of Saturday's loss.

Octuplets Mom Wants YOUR Money
It was only a matter of time ...
Nadya Suleman has started a family website asking for online donations.
The opening greeting says: "We thank you for the love and good wishes sent to us from around the world. The octuplets arrived on 1-26-09. They are all healthy and getting stronger by the day."
The website features pictures of each baby, along with their names and birth weights, in a section called "Meet the Octuplets."
Oddly, all photos on the site appear to be stills from Nadya's NBC interview. No original photos in sight so far.
There is a place to leave a comment for Nadya herself. But these comments are not live, so you can't see what others are saying. (Maybe that's a good thing.)
Of course, the site offers visitors the option of donating funds via Pay Pal. No surprise there. It also gives Nadya's publicist's address in case people want to make cash/check donations or send items.
Nadya's financial situation is reportedly pretty dire. The mom of 14 children, has no job, no income and, according to the Los Angeles Times, owes $50,000 in student loans, not to mention the millions of dollars in medical bills that she racked up delivering her eight new babies. Ultimately it will be taxpayers paying to support her and her massive brood.
I think the Dr who performed this needs to have a little punishment for his actions in this. Maybe for all the couples out there that really want children and can not afford invetro themselves…maybe he should do some free will donations of this for his part in this mess. I do feel for the children, they are the innocient ones. They deserve to have a normal life which does not look possible in this situation. They will never get the proper love and attention they deserve with 14 children. Being the mother of 2 children there are times that I feel I do not give one child as much attention as the other working full time. Best of luck to her in figuring out the working full time and taking care of 14 children all at the same time. For the sake of the children I hope there is a psyciatric evaluation in the future for this mother.
This disgusts me. How dare this idiot continue to have children when she already has 3 on the government payroll? This woman should have been spayed rather than implanted!
despite her obvious mental problems which have caused her to use children for money i'd like to know how in the world she was able to pay for the procedure to get pregnant in the first place. i have worked in the fertility business and the desperate and wonderful people that want children have to spend thousands of dollars on a long shot. all i'm saying is she should be able to pay to raise kids if she managed to pay to make them.
It is time that we now focus on the children and not her. If she needs the help we should give it to her.
i agree she made an irrational decision and i agree that nobody should make a monetary donation, the state of california already is, however i do believe that if the children can not be fed or provided for child protective services should already be involved and going back to school should not be an option at all, she has enough schooling to get a decent job though she will still need public assistance to make ends meet even if she gets a good job, she irresponsibly brought life into this world that she can not afford, but the good Lord did ultimately give their lives to her, now she has some serious decisons to make…..and if she doesn't make them soon, the state of california really should make the decisions…
I am outraged by how irresponsible this women is and how reckless she could be with these 8 innocent babies lives and futures. If she is feeding the first 6 with food stamps what chance do any of them have to go to college, or even play little league for that matter. She could not afford 8 uniforms for them. Then she sets up a website for donations, I would not give her a penny. She is a bottom feeder!
Nobody has said this,but I have to.
There,let us milk this story for all the LULZ that it can be milked for!
I woild love to leave those kids alone! Totally alone! I do NOT want ONE DIME of my hard earned money to go to those kids! I would prefer the money I earned go to MY family! I would be more than happy to take care of my own, and I do! But I do NOT want to take care of others!! At least others like HER!
I am curious if she has no job who paid for the invitro fertilization? They should be the one to help her care for her tribe!!!!!
All I can think is…the poor kids. They are the ones who are going to suffer.
I live here in California, too, and no one is giving me money to support my children. You had them, you support them. BTW, disability and food stamps are welfare, you stupid woman!!!
I just heard on the news. That she gets 2300.00 a mth from the government. She gets about 500.00 in food stamps (the family does have to eat), and she gets 600.00 a piece for the 3 children who have disabilities. Didn't she just say, that she received nothing and was looking for nothing? I knew that was a crock. I feel her and the Dr. planned this to get rich quick. I hope the medical assoc. is looking into his practice. I bet there is something there to be found. This whole situation is so sad. Her Mother said that she (herself) is tired and wishes that Nadya would come home and take care of her own children. She doesn't understand what is going on in her daughter's head. Oh, btw…I also heard (not sure if true) that they are thinking about going to the sperm donor for child support (since she says she knows who he is). Hmmmm…maybe, I am wrong here, but, I didn't know they told you the sperm donors name. Does anyone know the answer to that question? Thank you…
This makes me sick she is selfish there are people out there that can't have kids or try to have kids and pay all the money for in vitro and all that still have to pay for their hospital bills that aren't on Welfare. Because medical and food stamps are still considered welfare. She should have stopped having kids after the 7 she already has. She should put these kids up for adoption for people that can't have kids
We had problems already with irresponsible people having babies on welfare. Providing this woman with money, tv shows and donations only encourages more selfish irresponsible people to run out and do the same thing. Nadya's mother stated in an interview that she was not aware that her daughter was receiving disability payments, because her daughter was not giving her any money to help out. For all the parents out there, please let this be a lesson, don't spoil your children. I believe Nadya has no respect for her parents or anyone else because she is too caught up on what she wants. Signs of spoiling. Also, in an early interview with one of her neighbors, her neighbor stated that Nadya said that her financial situation was good with her 6 other children because "she's getting paid to have them." The main point is, she shouldn't have gone in to have IVF for even 1 more child, when she couldn't afford the ones she already has. And why are people so upset with what she did? Because people like myself, 38 years-old, have not had 1 child yet because with 2 incomes we can barely afford the cost of living for 2 of us, let alone bringing a child into the world. We try to be responsible and do the right thing, then you have people like Nadya who take more of our tax paying money for her selfish wants. We have the right to be mad, we're paying for her to raise those children!
It would seem to me that the best case scenario at this point would be to have a Social Worker assigned to this case who can help find a job for the mother and educational day care for the children and babies while Mom works for a living. She might even be supplied with a home helper, but the initial need is for the mom to get a job. If she has student loans, then she must have gone to college, so she is probably able to get a well paying job. The fact that she knows who the father is, and refuses to allow him to contribute financially to the upkeep of his own children is selfish. The state must take her to court and force her to accept child support from him or have her SSI suspended, until she conforms.
This is truly a sad case of the mad doctor and the wild client producing an anomaly of a social situation that is being dumped onto the grandparents and society. What the doctor did is criminal behavior, endangeriing the life of the mother, and the mental health and welfare of all the children involved. He needs to contribute to the child support of these children as well.
From what I read already, there at the house is food on the walls and clothing deposited everywhere…if a social worker were to walk into this house, how would she/he react to this situation? Could he/she say that this is an appropriate environment for the children to live in? If the mother wanted to be around children so much, then she should have become a teacher or a pediatric nurse. But to have a classroom sized family, well, that speaks volumes for her development of responsibility. She needs to be kept to the same standards that all other parents are kept to, before their children are taken away.
And what is this I hear now, that she is living in a hotel!!! Someone needs to check this situation out and soon!!!
she is already receiving ssi benefits for disabled chidren from the state she lives in, its supposed to be for food, clothing and shelter, for the children. the newborns will probably be receiving benefits each of them as well because they were born premature, the maximum the federal government pays for those benefits is $674.00 per month per person. plus medicaid, unfortunately we tax payers are already paying this bills, and their support. she will get all this state aid plus food stamps. Isn't the State of California in crisis. she should be investigated or the children removed and given to families who will handle their benefits properly.
Ummmm, arnt responsible parents supposed to make sure they are finacially stable before having kids? Let alone 14!!!! She had 6 to begin with! Awwww not getting all the free public support you figured you would get?
I think she is sick in the head and should have all her children removed from her,she is a sorry excuse for a mother she just want's checks,checks,checks. I hope that all 8 of those babies get taken away from her that would answer alot of prayers. I hope people don't give her a dime, make her suffer for the poor choice she made.
While I think her having this many children on purpose as a single woman with no funds to raise them is beyond stupid some of these responses are nearly as stupid. It would be very dangereous to force sterilization on anyone, that was done before in this Country with tragic results as was forced lobotomies. It would also be dangerous to just take away a persons children based on thier stupidity. I think the children should be monitored by child welfare to make sure she is able to meet thier needs, she should be offered visiting nurses and other services that anyone with very premature babies gets (I had preemie twins years ago.

i am very concerned with horde or alliance dominating this do to just shitty servers(in terms of alliance to horde ratio). My server is about 2.5 to 1 horde, on a good day so im pretty sure horde will be owning lake wintergrasp(horde could dominate leveling areas, but im hoping people are more interested in leveling). blizzard really needs to add incentives for people to roll on the lower populated sides. it took WAR 3 weeks to do this... I do not want to pay $25 dollars to switch servers and and i dont want to leave my guild. might be easier just to play with them in WAR unless bliz can pull their heads outta their asses

TEAMS: New York Mets
Matt Harvey sure looked ready for prime time last night. In his major league debut, Harvey pitched 5.1 scoreless innings, did not allow a run and broke Tom Seaver's franchise record for strikeouts in a debut. And for good measure, Harvey went 2-for-2 at the plate with a double. He finished the night with 11 strikeouts and it was fun to watch a Mets starter blow the ball past opposing hitters. According to Brooks Baseball, Harvey averaged 94.88 miles per hour with his four-seam fastball and topped out at 98. According to FanGraphs, here are the average fastball velocities for the other starters for the Mets this season: Niese – 90.6 Gee – 90.2 Santana – 88.4 Young – 84.4 Dickey – 83.4 FanGraphs does not distinguish between two and four-seam fastballs, and as Harvey had two fastballs that weren't four-seamers, his overall FG fastball velocity will be a few ticks lower. Still, this is a substantial difference in velocity. The 2012 leaderboards show 17 qualified starters with an average...

Stroke Health Center
Drug Combo May Reduce Risk of Second Stroke: Study
Recently, doctors have moved away from using this combination of drugs for long-term stroke treatment because of the increased risk of serious bleeding, he said.
"Now we can see there is a definite benefit of the combined use of aspirin and Plavix in the acute phase of stroke," Ortiz said.
He said this treatment appears most effective in patients who have suffered a minor stroke or TIA. "If the results of other trials are similar to what we saw in this one, more people will use this therapy," he said. "It offers more tools and better options to offer patients."
Dr. Ralph Sacco, chairman of neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, said the study "provides some very convincing data on the efficacy of clopidogrel and aspirin in the acute phases after TIA or minor stroke compared to aspirin among Chinese patients." He also noted that TIA patients are at a high risk for stroke.
Sacco said that in previous studies, the drug combination has not been found effective in long-term treatment to prevent a second stroke. However, he added, "this trial offers hope that in the short term, combination [drugs] may be worth the increased bleeding risk to improve outcomes."
He mentioned current studies that "continue to assess this more aggressive [combination drug] option among U.S. patients, since Chinese patients could have different stroke subtypes and higher risks of recurrence."
Study author Johnston acknowledged that his later U.S. trial is important because differences in genetics, risk factors and medical practice in China could mean different results for different countries.
If in a few years the U.S. results turn out the same as those of the China-based study, giving stroke and TIA patients Plavix along with aspirin will likely become standard therapy, he said.
Stroke is a major cause of death and disability around the world, and the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.
More than 795,000 Americans have strokes every year, and in 2008 some 133,000 were fatal, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, about 300,000 Americans have TIAs each year.

Per Evan Daniels of Scout.com, Nick Faust will announce his decision to commit to Maryland at 5:00 today. This is huge news for the Terps, who pick up their biggest target of the 2011 basketball recruiting class. Faust is a top 25 player in the nation who has unbelievable scoring abilities at shooting guard. We'll have more analysis up later, after he officially announces.
Couldn't ask for a better Faustmas gift!

This is wonderful news and super smart of Jetbrains. I still need the commercial version but this is really going to open IDEA up to a wider audience.
Jan Eerdekens replied ago:
I've been waiting for ages for something like this to happen. I'm totally switching back from Eclipse to IntelliJ, the IDE I started my career with.
Jan Eerdekens replied ago:
If you need to program Swing, Spring and Java5 it'll be more than enough. Maybe that's not considered real work by some, but not in my book.
Jan Eerdekens replied ago:
You could do that using Axis2 and there's even a plugin to help: http://ws.apache.org/axis2/tools/1_1/idea/Idea_plug-in_userguide.html
Jan Eerdekens replied ago:
It does need a servlet container to run, but so does JAX-WS and I don't really use the IDE server integration anyway since I can do the same using Maven, Ant or the command line. I can understand that most users would want to have all the bells and whistles (JSP debugging is one that I'd miss), but in the six years that I've been working with Eclipse now, I've really missed IntelliJ, the IDE I used for a year before I had to start using Eclipse (boss won't provide a license).
Ian replied ago:
I'm an Eclipse developer through and through. I am very productive in it and it works very well for my needs. However, if you're needs (or preferences) are different than mine, that's ok. If Intellij makes you more productive, then that's awesome!
For your boss not to pay for a license for a product that makes you more productive, that's just absurd. This is a sad state of the software industry right now. Penny rich, pound pour. How much did your boss save by not buying you a license. Now, what if that tool improved your productivity by even 10 minutes every day. Over the past 5 years you would have added 10,000 minutes of productivity. I'm pretty sure that's worth the few hundred bucks.
Jan Eerdekens replied ago:
Well I've been programming in Eclipse too now for the last 5 years and all in all it is a great IDE, certainly if you take into account the whole plugin ecosystem. But to me at least it seems that Eclipse took longer to get to the level where IntelliJ already was a couple of years ago. I'd say that at the moment they're almost equivalent and it's a personal preference which one you like to use.
I also think it's strange for a boss not to provide his developers with the tools they're most comfortable with, but it seems that in that department every penny counts. Certainly for IntelliJ this is weird since it costs almost nothing compared to other programs. But I've got the same opinion regarding hardware: why try to save money on that. Just provide your developers every 2 years with the newest state of the art hardware, it'll show in their productivity. I had to complain for several months to get a quicker laptop, but it was certainly worth it since the same build/deploy took me 7 minutes, but my colleague only 30 seconds. If you have to do that 30+ times a day, the lost time will quickly be worth the same as a new laptop.

Poor Bachelorette Emily Maynard can't go get a facial at a plastic surgeon's office without everyone thinking she's getting plastic surgery, and now, poor Emily Maynard can't enjoy a meal out alone without someone snapping a picture of her. Further still, poor Emily Maynard can't get her picture snapped with a fan without someone like me writing about it. So, uh, let's get right to it, eh? I mean, Emily Maynard was makeup-free and looking naturally flawless.
Sometimes I find it hard to remember that she's just 26, but when she goes bare-faced, you can totally see this very beautiful young woman who's not just some done-up reality star with something to prove.
If you ask me, Emily should go makeup-free more often. Sometimes her look can become too pageant-y, which only serves to make her look older, not necessarily more attractive.
More from The Stir: Emily Maynard's Botox Secret Makes Us Question Everything About Her
I've always been a fan of the less is more theory, especially, if not specifically, when it comes to makeup, because, really, there's no better beauty than natural beauty. OK, well maybe inner beauty is the most important thing, but natural beauty is a close second.
Emily's got a 7-year-old daughter. Before she knows it, little Ricki will want to start dressing up, wearing makeup, and doing her hair just like Mommy. What a nice example Emily could set for her daughter by laying off the eye-liner and lip-plumpers and letting, instead, her organic attractiveness shine through.
There is no denying Emily's god-given good looks -- she's got an innate elegance about her that is more than charming. Sometimes I think that gets lost behind the layers of makeup. (While we're on the subject, I don't think her giant breast implants enhance her appeal, either.)
All I'm saying is that Emily, like most women, looks her best when she's wearing minimal makeup, and that her daughter Ricki might be inspired to let her own natural beauty do the talking if Mom does, too.
Just a thought.
When it comes to makeup, do you think less is more?

Moms wearing makeup does not damage their daughters self image. Does she look great without it, yes, but dressing up and wearing makeup as a mom isn't something to to frown upon.
