Playoff Recaps 9/10: Kinston advances to Mills Cup Finals
|Mike Rayl (Photo: IPI)
After losing game one, the K-Tribe clinched by winning three straight contests, especially impressive given a 5-0 deficit in the second inning in game number two. The Indians outscored Myrtle Beach 24-3 over the final 28 innings of the series.
Trailing by two runs in the fourth, Jesus Aguilar mashed a three run home run to put the K-Tribe on top for good.
The Indians gathered insurance in the sixth on a two out fielding error. Pelicans short stop Leury Garcia gloved a grounder up the middle and flipped the ball errantly to second base in an ill fated attempt to get the force out. Jeremie Tice, running on contact from second base, scored without a throw. Officially, the play was scored as a single for Casey Frawley and an error, allowing the run.
The K-Tribe put it out of reach with five runs in the eighth inning, all unearned. Jordan Casas, Tyler Holt, Bo Greenwell and Adam Abraham strung together four straight RBI hits to make the Pelicans pay for a two out fielding error committed by third baseman Mike Olt.
The winning pitcher was Mike Rayl(1-0, 3.60). The losing pitcher was Kennil Gomez (0-1,4.50). Kyle Landis earned a hold in the ballgame by pitching three innings of one hit baseball while striking out four. Toru Murata came in to finish the ball game by pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
Now Kinston waits to see which team will oppose them in the Mills Cup Championship Series. Frederick leads Potomac in the best of five series two games to one. The start of the Championship series is unknown due to a game two rain out.
Aguilar has hit four of his five home runs at the "Advanced-A" level against Myrtle Beach.
2011 marks the first time Kinston has earned a berth in the Mills Cup Championship Series since 2006, which resulted in a series win for the K-Tribe.
Kinston will host game three of the Mills Cup Championship Series Thursday September 15th at 6:30pm. If necessary, games four and five will also be at Historic Grainger Stadium.

There's some bad news for anyone irritated by mobile phones. With a bitter price war between network providers continuing, making calls is cheaper than ever. And as charges keep falling, there'll be even less reason for mobile phone users to show any restraint.
There's some bad news for anyone irritated by mobile phones. With a bitter price war between network providers continuing, making calls is cheaper than ever. And as charges keep falling, there'll be even less reason for mobile phone users to show any restraint.
The fight began last month when serial entrepreneur Stelios Haji-Ionannou, founder of cut-price airline easyJet, announced the launch of easyMobile, which he claimed would finally break up Britain's "cosy" mobile phone market.
Now the companies most under threat, Virgin Mobile and Fresh, have hit back with price cuts and some barbed comments about the small print of the easyMobile offering. And Tesco, which has been trying to break into the mobile phone market, is also promising to transform its bargain-basement service into an even cheaper offer.
These services are known in the trade as "virtual networks", because they provide services through the infrastructure set up by Britain's five competing network providers. But the distinction is irrelevant to mobile phone users: your handset works in the same way whether you're with one of these providers, or the big five of Orange, O2, T-Mobile, Three and Vodafone.
In most cases, the virtual networks operate on a pay-as-you-go, or pre-pay basis. Users buy a set amount of airtime in advance and then top up their phones with more time as and when they need it.
The alternative is a contract deal, where phone users sign up for a minimum period and pay a monthly fee. Until now, this has generally been better value. First, the network knows it is likely to keep them as customers for longer, so it offers bigger subsidies on handsets.
Pay-as-you-go customers, by contrast, generally pay more for the same phones.
Contract customers pay a monthly fee to cover most of their calls. As long as they're on the right tariff, most regular phone users have found that this one-off fee works out cheaper than paying for each call on a pre-pay basis. Even calls that are not covered by the monthly rate - overseas and premium-rate numbers, for example - have often been charged at a cheaper rate for contract customers.
The most recent survey by the consumer group Which? of the mobile phone market, completed at the end of last year, concluded that contracts suited people who used their phones for at least a few minutes most days. Pre-pay deals suited those who didn't use their phones often, Which? said, as long as they were prepared to pay more for their handset and to keep it for a while.
Mobile phone experts reckon this advice still stands for most people buying a phone for the first time. Equally, if you're the kind of person who wants to upgrade their phone regularly, a contract, with its subsidised handset, will still represent good value.
However, Jonathan Morris, the technology editor of What Mobile? magazine, says: "For someone who isn't bothered about regularly changing their old phone, pay-as-you-go now represents a real opportunity to save money, because the providers are practically giving airtime away."
Jessica Simpson, of Carphone Warehouse, which advises on mobile phone deals and also runs the Fresh network, agrees. She says: "The price war will continue and, on cost terms at least, it has really tipped the balance towards pay-as-you-go."
The cost of a contract depends on which tariff you choose: the higher the monthly fee, the more free airtime and text messages you get. Contracts start at about £15 a month, for which you might get 30 minutes of free calls, effectively a 50p-a-minute charge. At the top end of the scale, you could pay as much as £70 a month for 700 minutes of free calls - worth 10p a minute.
Now, however, easyMobile is offering call charges at 9p a minute. Virgin Mobile's pre-pay charges start at about 5p a minute, though they can cost as much as 35p. Fresh has halved its prices, so charges start at 5p a minute. In other words, for all but the heaviest of mobile phone users, pay-as-you-go services may now work out cheaper than contracts.
And it's not just the newer entrants to the market that offer good deals. The five networks all offer their own pay-as-you-go services and have been forced to become increasingly competitive.
Even so, Morris believes: "Pre-pay has real appeal, but it will take time to convince people." He thinks most phone users like regular upgrades, and the cost of the latest handset on a pay-as-you-go deal will eat into call charge savings.
Simpson adds: "It's also worth bearing in mind the convenience of paying monthly by direct debit." Pre-pay customers, she points out, have to keep topping up their phones - at Fresh, for example, they actually have to go into a Carphone Warehouse store to do so.
Still, some mobile phone users are aready making savings. Steve Thomson dumped his 12-month mobile phone contract last year after a change in circumstances.
"I had been using my phone a lot at work and during the evenings, but then I was made redundant. Then I was paying a fixed monthly fee for a service I never used," he says.
After looking at rival providers' web sites and talking to advisers, Steve eventually decided to move to Virgin Mobile. Its service is much more like a pay-as-you-go deal.
Steve, who lives in South-east London, now pays for airtime in advance each month and is able to carry over unused minutes to the next month.
"I reckon I'm saving £20 or more each month and the other great thing is I'm not tied in," Steve adds. "This means that if I find a better deal in the future I'll be able to switch again."
By contrast, last year Steve was upset to discover he would have to pay a fee to retain his old mobile number and that switching it over to his new phone would have taken up to 21 days. "More flexibility was a really important consideration when I started looking for a new deal," he adds.
In practice, the deal you go for depends on a variety of factors. You need to consider how many calls you make each month, at what time of day and whom you call - charges vary depending on whether you're contacting a mobile on a different network, a land line or an international number.
There is also the cost of text messages to worry about if you plan to send any number.
If you have special circumstance, there may be deals that have been designed particularly for you. For instance, Carphone Warehouse this week launched Mobile World, a network offering cheap charges on international calls.
Also think about whether you're bothered about keeping up with new technology. Virgin Mobile claims mobile users who don't upgrade their handsets collectively waste £99m a year on contract charges.
On the left, we look at the best deals for four different types of mobile phone user, but most people will benefit from taking some independent advice. The excellent Which? internet site at www.which.co.uk/switch can help you identify the best deal. Carphone Warehouse continues to offer good independent advice, despite its ownership of Fresh.
Don't be put off by complexity. The majority of Britain's mobile phone users - and there are 50m contracts in force - may be able to save money.
So while critics of easyMobile point to small print such as a £4 charge for itemised bills, Stelios is owed a vote of thanks. He may not have delivered the simplicity that easyMobile promised, but phone charges are continuing to fall.
Amy has persuaded her parents to buy her a phone. The 13-year-old will mostly use it to send text messages to friends, but she will also make occasional off-peak calls.
Carphone Warehouse recommends: Virgin pay-as-you-go - 3p texts to other Virgin mobiles, plus the option of £10 bundles for 200 cross-network texts (5p each).
Or she could choose Fresh pay-as-you-go. 5p-a-minute cross-network calls, 1.7p cross-network texts.
On both deals, Motorola's C115 handset costs £24.99; the Nokia 1100 is £29.99.
Mark works in a typical office environment and has access to a landline during the day.
Outside of work, however, he makes lots of off-peak calls to friends and family, both to mobiles and landlines.
Carphone Warehouse recommends: O2 Leisure Time Plus contract. This provides 1,000 off-peak minutes to other O2 numbers and 100 texts for £20 a month.
Another option is O2's Leisure Time All contract. This gives 500 cross-network minutes and 100 texts for £25 a month.
Margaret runs her own catering business and is constantly on the move. She uses her mobile all day to talk to clients and other work contacts. She also makes plenty of off-peak calls.
Carphone Warehouse recommends: 3 Talk and Text 600 contract. 500 cross-network anytime minutes and 100 texts for £30 a month.
Alan, a retired teacher, has never owned a mobile phone, and has never wanted one. But his ageing estate did recently break down, and he has realised that a mobile might be useful in emergencies.
Carphone Warehouse recommends: Pay-as-you-go on any network. A Nokia 1100 handset costs £29.99 with Virgin Mobile and Alan can top it up as required.
He must, however, buy an initial £10 worth of calls when he first gets the phone.

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Joe Johnson is active for Tuesday night's game against the New Orleans Hornets, but told reporters it's doubtful that he'll play, according to the New York Post. Johnson has missed the last two games due to a sore left heel. C.J. Watson will start in his place for a third straight game.
Johnson hoisted shots before the game, but told reporters in New Orleans he preferred to be cautious rather than returning too soon. He began experiencing the soreness on Feb. 11 in Indiana and Feb. 13 against Denver prior to the All-Star break. It continued to following the break. Before sitting out due to the injury, Johnson went 3-for-14 from the field in Milwaukee on Feb. 20.
Johnson, 31, is averaging 17 points on 42.3 percent shooting in 38 minutes per game.
The Nets have missed Johnson particularly in the fourth quarter of their past two games, both losses. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Johnson, who has hit three game-winning shots this season, leads the team with 64 crunch-time points -- defined by points scored in the last five minutes when the scoring margin is within five.
Reserve Jerry Stackhouse is not with the team for personal reasons. Stackhouse has not appeared in a game since Jan. 26.

God gave us emotions to experience life, not destroy it! Lysa TerKeurst admits that she, like most women, has had experiences where others bump into her happy and she comes emotionally unglued. We stuff, we explode, or we react somewhere in between. What do we do with these raw emotions? Is it really possible to make emotions work for us instead of against us? Yes, and in her usual inspiring and practical way, Lysa will show you how. Filled with gut-honest personal examples and biblical teaching, Unglued will equip you to:
©2012 Lysa TerKeurst (P)2012 Zondervan
"Unglued is Unreal"
This book could apply to anyone who is looking at their life and want to improve their reactions and behaviors to everyday living.
"Great book! Enjoying it very much."
I am enjoying this book so much that I bought it in audio and both in paperback and on my kindle too. It is one I will read over and over. It is as if it was written just for me.
I am very pleased that Lisa read her own book for the audio, as I enjoy hearing the authors narrating their own books instead of someone else.
Lisa is so real and honest in this book, as she is in Made to Crave (another one of her books that is fabulous.
Keep up the good work, Lisa. I really enjoy your books.
"Listen, re listen, and then listen again"
I run to this book every time I have an issue with my husband, mother, siblings, friends, teachers, really anyone that I wrestle with. Lysa gives such amazing advice on how to handle both the everyday and the tough situations with grace and mercy.
"Totally helpful eye-opening read!"
I love how Lysa is so open to sharing with us all about her short comings and struggles in order to better help us in the same areas. If you are an emotional person (exploder or stuffer) this book helps to open our eyes and point us to Christ! Definitely worth the read and I know it can help anyone who reads it. Lysa also does a great job reading it and she is able to get you into the emotion she is feeling because she is also the author. I recommend to anyone looking to become more grounded in their faith!
"Holds Together Well"
I have recommended this audiobook to several of my friends already. I am on my second listen and appreciate the sound biblical reminders the book offers when emotions rise and my own thoughts begin to prevail. It has served as a wonderful redirecting of my thoughts back to God's perspective.
I liked Lysa's vulnerability which she reveals throughout the book. I do not believe I would have stuck with the subject matter had I not believed she actually lived life like the rest of the world.
Of course it is much more enjoyable to listen to the author herself reading how she felt in those particular moments she is sharing. I think the impact can be greater on the listener.
It brought up some memories and examples within my own mind of my life and how much I have to be ready to practice "soul integrity" as she calls it - Godly honesty all of the time in every relationship. I was particularly drawn to her explanation and examples of putting up barriers vs. setting boundaries. I did smile and relate numbers of times with her examples.
I think this is a REAL girl's book. I would recommend it to any girl/woman who wants to be honest with herself and others and follow a God of honesty and truth.
"Great Godly Resource!"
If you are a person who struggles with bouts of frenzied negative emotion, Lisa does a great job helping you get to the possible underlying causes, and how to arm yourself with God's word to begin keeping those emotions in check! Definitely a book I will share with others, and return to myself!
"Another good one"
I could relate too well! I enjoy Lysa's real life examples and willingness to be vulnerable.
"Lack of information and focused thoughts"
What a disappointment.
I was really excited to take in this book and hoped for some nuggets of knowledge. Unfortunately, it's more of a collection of random thoughts with the author explaining that everyone has emotions, they take over us a lot.
Her answers come from the bible, but they're not really answers as much as more thoughts she tries to tie back to her situation.
First time I want to ask for my money back.
"a book for those who don't have it altogether"
loved every minute of it. cried like a baby during the epilogue. great touching book.
"Great Book"
I listened non-stop! Prompted a self evaluation but gave insight on how to do it by using Christian principles and scriptures. I also enjoyed the Author's voice. I will read/listen to more of Lisa TerKeurst's books.

Compare and Contrast tariff and non-tariff barriers
Therefore the removal of export subsidies would have to be accompanied by agricultural reform , which could take many forms . An example would be the implementation of production control through strict production quotas to eliminate surplus production due to the export subsidy stricter than those that already exist through the CAP . Another policy option would be to reduce support prices . The effects of this would be to increase domestic consumption due to the reduced prices consumer have to pay in the domestic market , as well as a reduction in domestic agricultural production due
to the lower price producers receive . Hence the need for export subsidies would diminish , as the potential for a build up of agricultural stock would be reduced
According to a study by Stout , Leetmaa and Normile , the elimination of EU support prices , with tariffs to protect agricultural products against import competition remaining in place , the largest impact within the EU would take place in the diary , coarse grain and beef markets . This is expected since these sectors are where the highest levels of price support are found , and for these agricultural products , as domestic prices fall , production and hence exports decline subsequently . This reduction in EU exports would have the effect of driving up world prices , increasing convergence between previously-distorted EU prices and world prices
The same study referenced above also studied the scenario in which the tariffs which protects the agricultural markets from import competition are eliminated . Such a policy initiative would allow the EU to import agricultural commodities at the world prices , in turn driving down the domestic EU prices of commodities , which are currently protected by heavy tariffs . The impact of tariff elimination would be felt the hardest in the markets where import tariffs are the highest , for example , the sugar , dairy , beef , corn and...

Product Description:
"Following worthily in the tradition of Burton, Lawrence, Philby and Thomas, [Arabian Sands] is, very likely, the book about Arabia to end all books about Arabia." —The Daily Telegraph
Arabian Sands is Wilfred Thesiger's record of his extraordinary journey through the parched "Empty Quarter" of Arabia. Educated at Eton and Oxford, Thesiger was repulsed by the softness and rigidity of Western life—"the machines, the calling cards, the meticulously aligned streets." In the spirit of T. E. Lawrence, he set out to explore the deserts of Arabia, traveling among peoples who had never seen a European and considered it their duty to kill Christian infidels. His now-classic account is invaluable to understanding the modern Middle East.

Bididari Island is a popular daytrip destination for those heading out of Labuan Bajo or Wae Cicu and the white sand beach certainly doesn't disappoint.
If you're visiting on a daytrip, expect to be dropped on a sandy stretch on the northeast coast of the island. The reef is right offshore and has a good drop off. This spot was particularly notable for the volume of fish and we also saw a seasnake here which was quiet a surprise. The beach is very attractive and is fairly well looked after, though did have a fair amount of high tide trash.
The snorkelling at Kanawa or Seraya is better than here, in part because there are a lot of boats coming and going dropping people off for a few hours of snorkelling -- they anchor right on the beach unfortunately. The beach has limited shade, but as long as it isn't too busy you'll find some shelter. As with the other islands, pack plenty of sunscreen and water.
There is a upper-range resort on the far side of the island, Angel Island Resort but daytrippers are not permitted to stop there nor seemingly set foot on their beach -- when we tried to walk through the brush to have a look at the resort and were told in no uncertain terms not to proceed.
If you're looking to stay here, rates start at around 100 euros per night -- contact them via their office in Labuan Bajo at Reefseekers (on the main road through town).
Because this is quite a hike from Kanawa or Seraya, you're more likely to visit here from Labuan Bajo or Wae Cicu -- both are about 30 minutes away by boat.

Mental health and or physical disorders, related or not, that happened or happens can change someone's views, perceptions, thinking and even someone's life.
Location: #science
Members: 36
Latest Activity: Nov 30, 2015
This shows how our physical state can affect one's state of mind and one's thinking process.
I'm having bronchitis at the moment but I was diagnosed only last wednesday. Most people were telling that it was just the flu (grippe), and that it takes longer in summer for it to take its course and disappear, and poor ignorant me, I believed them.
Instead of improving, the symptoms became unbearable: coughing non-stop, blocked nose, headaches, no hunger and feeling dizzy.
Now, I'm on antibiotics and have to use a respirator twice a day.
The physical symptoms are lighter now, but, I'm always exhausted with a very cloudy brain. I can't seem to use my mental faculties properly. I make stupid mistakes and generally speaking I'm kind of out of it.
So, this was just to give an exemple of how physical and mental health are closely connected.

Almost everyone has closets full of stuff, favorite mementos, and expanding collections of books or shoes or spices or hotel shampoos. But sometimes our emotional attachments to stuff can spiral out of control, and people become not just pack rats but compulsive hoarders. Dr. Robin Zasio, therapist who specializes in treating hoarding and other anxiety-related disorders, explains what compulsive hoarding is and how to treat it. She'll also give advice about how to live a less-cluttered, better-organized life. She's the author of The Hoarder in You: How to Live a Happier, Healthier, Uncluttered Life.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.
When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news."
"The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness."
"The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry.... How soon can I go home?"
I think mental illness scares so many people because we are all potentially subject to it. A human brain can take a lot of crap and remain unscathed, yet a few odd molecules can turn it inside out.
I am MY OLD SELF AGAIN, not too depressed even if I try to read not so funny fiction books...

The next time you're in a shopping center near a Best Buy store, don't be surprised if your smartphone suddenly receives a coupon for the electronic giant. Spotzot, a mobile marketing firm, recently debuted their new SpotAds product—geographically targeted store advertisements, merchandise offers, and e-coupons individually tailored to shopping habits. The API-based product uses a mix of pre-existing cookies, social graph integration, and location-based technology to determine advertisements sent to users.
SpotAd's initial retail and brand partners include Best Buy and Microsoft. Pilot testers for the product included Walmart, Macy's, and Best Buy. Bobby Jadhav, Spotzot's CEO, tells Fast Company that the difficulty of getting in-store promotion information to customers spurred the creation of SpotAds. Using pre-existing mobile web technology, Spotzot is able to push information about in-store promotions to potential customers. Spotzot will also send users time-sensitive advertisements using the service.
Retailers are being offered both exclusive and non-exclusive advertising space through the service. Both retailer-exclusive and multi-retailer advertisements, however, are geo-targeted. For Spotzot, the key is to attract a shopper's attention when they are as close to the store as possible. Online-only retailers, however, are also included in the service thanks to the graphing of end users' individual shopping activities. While similar services (and, well, plenty of them) exist for the conventional web, this is one of the most ambitious efforts yet to bring targeted shopping offers to mobile platforms.
According to Spotzot, the new SpotAds product generates promotional and advertising offers for users based on each shopper's individual activity. These ads, which show up in mobile browsers, include instant coupons, nearby store information, links to other e-commerce sites, and price comparisons with other retailers.
At the same time, SpotAds is part of the burgeoning lead generation industry that unintentionally creates privileged classes of customers. By microtargeting individual shoppers based on their browsing and purchasing habits, certain demographics of customers will receive discounts that others won't. While there is nothing new about retailers chasing after certain kinds of customers, the rise of web- and mobile web-based shopping mean that the process—and the ability to figure out who's purchasing what—have only become accelerated.
For now, Spotzot is distributing information on promotional merchandise, offers, and stock at 500,000 individual retail stores from "the top 1000 American retail chains" via the SpotAds platform. The company claims to have a reach of 100 million mobile shoppers. For Spotzot and their competitors, the major challenge is that mobile augmented-reality shopping is still a year or two away from maturity. While many customers might be glued to their iPhones and Droids while inside stores, they're more likely to be checking text messages or Facebook than using their mobile browsers or advertising-integrated apps.

But assuming that the propeller blades of the failing engine were feathered to lessen drag, there's no reason why a properly-loaded ATR 72 shouldn't have been able to climb out to a safe altitude using the remaining engine.
There appears to be a lot of data recorded on this crash, so they mystery should be solved soon…
