I often read my Georgia hometown newspaper, The Moultrie Observer online, and keep up with folks I've known for years. I'm also interested in what actions governmental bodies act upon.
Recently, the council had final reading on a measure updating an ordinance aimed at public indecency, most notably, at people who wear sagging pants, exposing their underwear, and backsides, to the world.
The old ordinance states in its entirety: "It shall be unlawful for any person within this city to commit any act of public indecency."
As you may know, the interim is in full swing with committees continuing to meet to study new issues and to review the progress of newly enacted laws.
These committees are made up of both Senate and House members and are known as Interim Joint Committees. I chair the Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection Committee and the Budget Review Subcommittee on Transportation.
I serve on nine other committees and task forces that tackle issues ranging from energy to education to health and welfare to economic development and tourism, among others.
In a jet black Plymouth Fury, built before air conditioning or seat belts were standard equipment, the vacation of a lifetime began.
The massive vehicle would accommodate four adults, three children and a baby on a trip to California to meet Mickey Mouse. At 8, I was the oldest of that pack of kids.
Disneyland was a novel concept in America, a new idea that became known as a theme park.
In our household, summer vacation was a novel concept. It came about thanks to the prosperity offered by my father's first factory job.
I still call my dad most every morning. While I'm driving to work, he's slowly but surely making his way to breakfast in the retirement facility where Dad and Mom now live.
I sometimes have difficulty communicating on the phone with Dad since his hearing is not what it used to be. Dad just turned 89. So, I was encouraged when Dad told me he was getting new hearing aids. I thought that would make our conversations easier.
"I just got my new hearing aids," he proudly announced one morning not long ago.
Recently, I came home from work one day and felt a sharp pain in my stomach. It was a familiar pain, one that has occurred eight times over the past 17 years. Each time, I was hospitalized for a number of days until the blockage dissolved.
But this time would be different and much more challenging. This time I needed surgery. The surgery went well, but the recovery time was lengthy and unexpected. Bad things happen at the most inconvenient times.
At a recent Homeland Security meeting, I heard about the "If you see something, say something" campaign. The initiative was created to encourage people to report suspicious activity in their community.
The "See Something, Say Something" campaign was developed to address terrorism happening in our country. While it's hard for me to imagine that there could be terroristic activity going on around here, I understand that it's not outside the realm of possibility.
The advice given by this initiative should be considered by everyone.
It happened nearly a month ago, but the message has stayed with me ever since.
I attended a Town Hall Forum earlier this month, featuring a speaker I thought was sure to not leave a dry eye in the house.
The forum addressed something that many people don't like to talk about - drug abuse and what it does to a family.
I have found the topic makes some uneasy, as if they don't want to realize it's a problem everywhere, even in small towns like Campbellsville.
Recently my son bought a small farm that has an old well pump in the front yard.
In looking at it the other day, it brought back memories of my childhood when most farm families had a water pump in their yard, along with a tin drinking cup that hung from the side. It suited us just fine, though, especially on summer days when hard work in the blazing sun seemed to bake every drop of liquid out of you. In fact, I've never tasted anything sweeter than the cool, clear water we pumped by hand from deep under ground.
I grew up in Tornado Alley. Tornadoes were more of an event I enjoyed than a threat I feared, so invincible did I think I was as a child and teenager.
As we gathered in the Shively's storm shelter with other neighbors, I rather enjoyed the social gathering and naively hoped the twister would somehow be bad enough to cancel school but not destructive enough to hurt anyone.
Questions of why, an inevitable response to suffering, weren't in my purview, at least not then.
"What are you doing, Dad?" my son asked when he called me on his cell phone.
I was sitting on our back patio, admiring the work I'd done, having just planted the first third of my garden with the non-genetically modified seeds I had oh-so carefully selected. I wanted to come as close as I could to having an organic garden.
Then just as I as I leaned back to relax, I stood up straight, squinting at the tractor spraying the field behind my house. It was coming closer and closer to my garden.

Deschutes National Forest
56880 Venture Lane, Sunriver, OR 97707
The Paulina Plunge Downhill Waterfall Mt.Bike Tour is a wet and wild family adventure for all active ages 4 to 70. We will descend over six miles down a smooth forest trail, where our friendly guides will lead you to six pristine waterfalls and two natural water slides. Exploring this natural water park will be the highlight of your Central Oregon vacation.
Gravity will be your friend, as you descend deep into the Oregon back country. Along the way you will learn the legends of the ancient indigenous people and the saga of Chief Paulina. During the length of the trip, you will descend over 2,500 vertical feet on your mountain bike. That translates into four 1-1/2 mile biking segments to each waterfall stop. The group will visit up to 6 pristine waterfalls, ranging in height from 10 to 40 feet, as well as 2 safe natural waterslides to explore and play in.
This region is considered by archaeologists to be one of the richest sights in the Northwest. Native Americans have lived in the shadow of this dynamic volcano for at least 10,000 years. When the group arrives at the waterfalls below, we'll indulge in the traditional Paulina Plunge and then break for a snack lunch.
TOUR COST: $65 per person for all ages. Recommended age 4-70 years. Mountain bike, helmet and day pack are included.

Raccoon baiting season begins
(Columbus) -- The Ohio Department of Health's annual rabies baiting is scheduled to begin Monday and run through Sept. 20, 2013 across the eastern portion of the state.
The oral rabies vaccination (ORV) operations will take place during the next month in 14 northeast and eastern Ohio counties. Weather permitting, baiting will begin Monday and will cover 4,334 square miles of the state's northeastern and eastern border.
(Map courtesy Ohio Department of Health)
So far in 2013, five cases of RRV have been confirmed, including 4 raccoons in Mahoning County and one cat in Trumbull County.
ODH wants residents in these areas to be able to recognize the baits and know to keep them away from humans and pets.
As in past years, bait distribution with the oral rabies vaccine Raboral V-RG® will take place in all of Ashtabula, Columbiana, Jefferson, Mahoning and Trumbull counties and parts of Belmont, Carroll, Harrison, and Monroe counties.
In addition, for the second year in a row, a new oral rabies vaccine called ONRAB® will be field tested in parts of Lake, Portage, Geauga, Summit, and Cuyahoga counties as part of a national trial involving five states.
Baits will be distributed by various methods in each county, including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopter and vehicles staffed by USDA and LHDs. Residents in the areas to be baited should be aware of low-flying aircraft and should keep children and pets away from the baits.
Dogs in particular are attracted to the baits and will occasionally eat them. The baits are not harmful to pets.
Please keep the following information in mind:
• Know what the baits look like. The coated sachet, which will be distributed by aircraft, is about the size of a ketchup packet. It is white and rolled in a brown fishmeal glaze. In urban areas, where baits will be distributed by vehicle, the sachet will be inside a hard, brown fishmeal block, about 2-x-2-inch square. The ONRAB® blister pack, which will be distributed by aircraft and by vehicle in Lake, Portage, Geauga, Summit, and Cuyahoga counties only, is about 1 by 2 inches and has a dark-green coloring and sweet-smelling waxy coating.
• Instruct children to leave the baits alone.
• Once your area is baited, keep dogs and cats inside or on leashes for up to five days. Most baits disappear within 24 hours; however, it is important raccoons have every opportunity to eat them.
• Do not attempt to take bait away from your pet; you may be bitten.
• Anyone handling baits should wear gloves. If baits are found in areas frequented by pets or children, toss them into deeper cover. Damaged baits can be disposed of in the trash.
• If a person is exposed to the vaccine (liquid), thoroughly wash any areas of the skin that came into contact with the vaccine with soap and water.
• If someone has been exposed to the vaccine or has questions about the baiting call the toll-free phone number that is printed on the bait; ODH at 614-752-1029 or their local health department
Rabies is a viral disease that affects mammals and people. It is almost always fatal. Rabies vaccine baiting operations are intended to create an immune barrier along Ohio's state lines to prevent the spread of raccoon-rabies variant (RRV) into the rest of the state.
ODH has participated in the program since 1997 and almost 15 million baits have been distributed in Ohio over that time.

• maneuver •
Pronunciation: mê-nu-vêr • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Meaning: 1. (Noun) A skillful move or action taken to achieve some end, as tapping on a glass is a maneuver to get everyone's attention. 2. (Noun) A large-scale military exercise, as a division out on maneuvers. 3. (Verb) To direct around obstacles or over a course, as to maneuver a car along a serpentine road.
Notes: If you are in Britain or other English-speaking region that follows British orthography, remember to use the original French spelling: manoeuvre for today's word. The verb in this spelling is then conjugated: manoeuvres, manoeuvring, manoeuvred. The adjective and process noun with US spelling are simply maneuvering, but today's word comes with another adjective, maneuverable "capable of being maneuvered".
In Play: The sense of this word has broadened to include any kind of action or strategy to achieve an end: "Women don't seem susceptible to Percival's maneuvers to pick them up." The basic sense of the verb is to drive something along a crooked course: "Mildred bought a new car when her old one became difficult to maneuver."
Word History: Today's Good Word was originally the French manœuvrer, a reduction of a Latin phrase manu operari "to operate by hand". Manu "by hand" is the ablative case of manus "hand", which underlies English manual "by hand; handbook" and is found in many other borrowed words, including manufacture, manipulate, and manicure. Operari is derived from Latin opus "work", the plural of which is opera, a word we borrowed to use as a singular noun. French also developed a noun from the Latin phrase, manœvre, which was reduced in English to something quite different: manure, an etymological relationship that reminds me to wash my hands whenever I maneuver anything. (We thank Chris Stewart, our old friend from South Africa, for maneuvering today's Good Word our way.)

Archives for September 2008
Sabres' Gaustad out 3-4 weeks after thumb surgery
Sabres reassign Dennis and Myers
'Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier announced today the Sabres have assigned goaltender Adam Dennis to Portland (AHL), and returned defenseman Tyler Myers to Kelowna of the Western Hockey League. The moves leave the Sabres with 32 players remaining in camp.'
Sabres C Gaustad out after having thumb surgery
'Gaustad, entering his fourth NHL season, was hurt during a fight in Buffalo's 2-1 shootout loss to Minnesota on Sunday. He had one goal in two games in the preseason and was expected to provide a physical presence on the Sabres' second or third line.'
Sabres reduce Training Camp roster by 13
'Heading to Portland are: forwards Tyler Bouck (pending waivers), Jimmy Bonneau (pending waivers), Colton Fretter, Marc-Andre Gragnani, Derek Whitmore, Felix Schutz and Colin Murphy; defensemen Mike Card and Mike Kostka; and goaltender Jhonas Enroth.'
Gaustad has surgery on thumb
'He is expected to be out a minimum of 3-4 weeks.'
Peters reloading
'A couple of years ago Peters dropped a significant amount of weight in order to get more mobile on his skates. But he found it hard to battle the heavyweights and added about 20 pounds of muscle after changing his workout regime. "I'm back up to 240 but I tried to stay as lean as possible," he said. "I found it hard at 225 pounds tussling with the big guys. I feel strong on the ice and that's part of my job, to be strong in the corners and strong when I'm fighting. As long as I feel comfortable, that's all that matters."'
MacArthur making case for consistency
'"Coach wants to see consistency out of me, and that's one of the things that takes the longest," MacArthur said. "I've really got to work at it, and that's what I need to do to stay here full time."'
Lalime strong in Sabres debut
'"We felt we were getting a good veteran guy that played a good number of games last year (31) that could step in, I guess," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "We're looking at playing him in that 15-to-20-game range, give or take a few games here or there. There's going to be a hard plan going into the season on where we're going to play him."'
Bad bounce spoils solid effort
'"[The goal] was the only opportunity I think they had in that period," Head Coach Lindy Ruff said. "We didn't give anything up for the last 25 minutes. I thought [Lalime] was very good… I thought the team was good."'
Rivet plays tough guy for Sabres
'The game was marred by a left leg injury suffered by Buffalo winger Daniel Paille with about seven minutes to go in the second period. Paille took a borderline low hit from Wild defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron and hobbled off with what coach Lindy Ruff termed a bruised thigh.'

Brunette's shootout goal gives Wild 2-1 win
'Lalime stopped 18-of-19 shots and looked as though he was on his way to a shutout win until Brunette's centering pass deflected off the stick of defenseman Jaroslav Spacek and into the net.'
Minnesota 2, Buffalo 1 (SO)
'Patrick Lalime made 18 stops for the Sabres, whose lone regulation goal came 13 seconds into the second period from Jochen Hecht. Drew Stafford scored during the shootout phase.'
Max runs with spot on top line
'"I'm here and I want to help this team," he said.'
Myers given start against Leafs to satisfy the team's curiosity
'"It's a big adjustment to this level," Myers said. "The pace is a lot faster, the guys are stronger. They're on you right away when you get the puck, so you have to adjust, and I think I'm doing a pretty good job of that."'

Ron Howard: What I Learned from Andy Griffith in the Los Angeles Times
Ron Howard says co-star Andy Griffith was a leader, a mentor and coach in the New York Daily News
OLNEY, Md. – The South — and the world — mourns today following news of Andy Griffith's demise.
The 86-year-old came into our homes more than half a century on this newfangled contraption called TV. He made us laugh, a LOT, and brought the down-home goodness of Mayberry into the American conscious.
Sure, Andy Griffith played roles other than Andy Taylor, but no other role suited him so.
I started watching "The Andy Griffith Show" when my mom married my dad, Leroy Sitton, in 1977. Dad worked for the Arkansas State Police. I'm – still – a redhead. And Ronny Howard actually knew to spell his name with a "y." It all rolled from there. In hindsight, I'm only surprised that it took until the 8th grade for Patrick Grogan to nickname me "Opie."
Although I didn't live in Mayberry, I learned a lot from watching Sheriff Taylor and the gang.
Watching Aunt Bee arrive to help with Opie in "The New Housekeeper" showed me acceptance may be hard, but love can overcome anything.
Watching the citizens of Mayberry's hostility to a fella who knew everything about them in "Stranger in Town" showed me folks have NO IDEA about the long reach of media, which is particularly relevant in these days of facebook and twitter.
Watching Barney Fife take over as sheriff in "Andy Saves Barney's Morale" showed me absolute power can corrupt absolutely.
I could go on, but I'm sure you have your favorite episodes.
Surprisingly, television allowed Griffith to portray a single dad in an era where single parents were frowned upon. By the time I came around, single dad-hood wasn't a big deal as we received daily doses of "Family Affair."
The show made such an impact on me, we named our dog Otis after Mayberry's town drunk. At first glance, this might seem to be a slight. But what else could we name the dog after he continually put himself in his kennel whenever he messed up?
Sunday would have been dad's 74th birthday. In a way, I find it fitting that Andy Griffith died the week that marks dad's birthday, my folk's anniversary and the nation's Independence Day.
The only way it would be more fitting would have been for "Ang" to pass on July 4th. But then again, he never was one to hog the spotlight.
We'll miss you, sir.
Editor's Note: A previous version left out the word "on" when discussing the reader's favorite episodes and also contained an AP style error. All apologies.

'But let's not pretend this is a cure-all answer to Buffalo's woes. Some of this has to fall on GM Darcy Regier, as well. His blue-line corps, for my money, is overrated, I might even say soft. The Sabres aren't good enough down the middle, although Cody Hodgson is showing signs he'll be a good one. And overall, there's not enough character and leadership on that team.'

text: Cluster Resources Newsletter – June 2006 Optimizing your Compute Resources ________________________________________________ http://www.clusterresources.com/june06 _________________________________________________ *NEWS/ANNOUNCEMENTS* 1. Cluster Resources to Open First European Base of Operation in the UK 2. Torque 2.1.1 Released 3. Moab Grid Suite Available for Evaluation at Cluster Resources' Web Site 4. Moab Cluster Software Certified on PSSC Labs' PowerWulf Clusters 5. DID YOU KNOW: /mshow -a/ (show available resources in Moab) ******************************************************** *Cluster Resources to Open First European Base of Operations in the UK* Cluster Resources, Inc.^TM announced on June 26 the planned opening of a European base of operations in the United Kingdom to provide greater support and services to the European region. The new office is planned for a Q3 2006 opening at a location currently under negotiation in the United Kingdom. Cluster Resources will make a future announcement on their Web site at _http://www.clusterresources.com <http://www.clusterresources.com/>_ detailing the specific date and location. "We are very pleased with the growth our company is experiencing," said Michael Jackson, President of Cluster Resources. "The UK facility will allow us to continue providing top quality service and support, but now with faster response times for organizations based in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as well as broader coverage for global organizations." The UK facility and other unannounced future expansions are due to strong sales of Cluster Resources' innovative high performance computing management solutions. The continued growth resulted in Cluster Resources' recent upgrade to their third headquarters location. For 2006, they are experiencing a growth rate estimated to be well over 100 percent from last year and have grown 60 percent to 100 percent every year over the previous three years. "The time is perfect for an expanded European base of operations," said Jackson. "We appreciate the customer and partner relationships that have made this possible. The new facilities will allow us to provide added support and services, which will help us continue delivering 90-99 percent utilization for clusters and grids across the world with our Moab products." Cluster Resources' expanded support covers Moab customers, but also provides free support for Moab Cluster Suite_® and Moab Grid Suite_® evaluators. The UK facility will offer these services as well, assisting sites with their testing of Moab solutions. ******************************************************** *Torque 2.1.1 Released* Cluster Resources is pleased to announce the latest release of TORQUE: version 2.1.1. This release contains many enhancements, fixes and new features including additional foundation work allowing support of dynamic jobs and cluster configurations. Further improvements to diagnostics and more intuitive job submission behaviors are now in place. Full details are available at http://www.clusterresources.com/torquechangelog In addition to this release, we have also enabled anonymous check-out access for the TORQUE source code. We are using Subversion to manage the repository so community members can now download the most up-to-date code using any SVN compatible tools. Subversion is well documented and widely used throughout the open source world.(See http://subversion.tigris.org/ for downloads and documentation.) We hope that its use will further increase TORQUE's momentum, stimulate development and empower the community. Thanks for all your contributions and support. ******************************************************** *Moab Grid Suite Available for Evaluation at Cluster Resources' Web Site* An evaluation license of Moab Grid Suite, an advanced metascheduler and grid workload manager, can now be downloaded from Cluster Resources' Web site. Moab Grid Suite intelligently schedules all grid resources to automatically migrate jobs and data to the optimal cluster on the grid, while taking into account all needed variables such as network, political policies, job priorities and more. Moab supports popular resource managers (LSF, PBS Pro, TORQUE, LoadLeveler, SLURM, etc.) and functions with or without Globus. The free evaluation can be found at _http://www.clusterresources.com/grideval_. One of the largest obstacles to grid computing is the loss of independence that cluster administrators may experience when clusters are grouped into grids. Moab Grid Suite provides tools that allow multiple departments or organizations to share resources while still maintaining cluster autonomy. For example, cluster administrators can set reservations and policies for their own clusters, guaranteeing that end-users at any given cluster will be able to do their work when they need to. Moab Grid Suite includes advanced features to facilitate managing a grid, such as a graphical interface for system management and reports, and the ability to unify management across heterogeneous clusters (different hardware, operating systems, resource managers, etc.). Cluster Resources' technical support team will provide free Moab Grid Suite evaluation support to answer any questions regarding installation and management of the grid environment. They can help you evaluate your specific computing needs and environment. Information not found on the Web site can be requested by emailing _info at clusterresources.com <mailto:info at clusterresources.com>_. Complete Moab Grid Suite product details can be seen at _http://www.clusterresources.com/mgs_. ******************************************************** *Moab Cluster Software Certified on PSSC Labs' PowerWulf Clusters* Cluster Resources, Inc.^TM announced earlier this month that their Moab Cluster Suite® software passed compatibility tests on PSSC Lab's PowerWulf Linux clusters, offering a seamless solution for optimizing cluster workload management and return on investment. PSSC Labs' Beowulf Linux clusters, known as PowerWulf, are made to order, offering various options for configuration and capacity. PSSC Labs also provides full hardware and software support free for the life of the cluster. Adding Moab Cluster Suite's intelligent scheduling capability and full tech support to PSSC's custom hardware and software package can increase resource utilization to 90-99 percent through intelligent scheduling based on information generated by the resource manager and various hardware monitors. This creates a highly efficient system designed to optimize performance in any computing environment. "Our goal is to give our customers the most efficient, easy-to-use and cost-effective supercomputer possible," said Alex Lesser, PSSC Labs Vice President. "Moab makes our easy-to-use system even easier to manage." Moab gives administrators the power to manually change reservations and scheduling priorities as needed from a remote location.

The Section 199 deduction — a special 9% freebie deduction off the top of "production" income — is one of the worst ideas enacted in the tax law since the Section 409A rules. Section 199 taxes income from manufacturing, farming, construction, and related architect and engineer services, at a lower rate than other income. The arbitrary favoring of one way to make a living over another is economic illiteracy and a tax compliance headache. It ignores the many supporting services – transportation, human resources, logistics — to say nothing of accounting – that gets stuff from the factory to you.
So tax nerds with long memories can smile a bit at defeat in a primary this week of Congressman Donald Manzullo. The Illinois Republican lost after being redistricted to the same district as another congresscritter. Mr. Manzullo "led the charge" to get Section 199 enacted in 2004.
He lost after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor endorsed his Tea Party-linked opponent (via Instapundit). So maybe the Section 199 deduction might go away? Maybe Congress will swear off micromanaging the economy through the tax law? Don't get your hopes up.

NEW YORK CITY -- VeriFone Systems Inc. has launched a mobile payments app that lets New Yorkers pay for their cab rides with their smartphones.
Called Way2ride, the free app is available for iOS and Android smartphones. It enables passengers to pre-load payment information and preferred tip amounts. Once inside the cab, they can pay at any time with a tap of their phones. Digital receipts are stored in the app, and are accessible at Way2ride.com.
Way2ride is VeriFone's first commercial deployment of its Zoosh sound-based technology, which uses the speakers and microphones of smartphones to securely exchange encrypted data between devices through the cloud. The technology allows app developers to deliver single-tap functionality in non-NFC smartphones, alongside their NFC-based solutions.
Following the Big Apple launch, VeriFone plans to expand Way2ride acceptance throughout its network of more than 70,000 cashless payment-enabled taxis worldwide.

Gaining Weight
I've gained 22 pounds. My doctor, husband, friends, and family are not as concerned as I am and they don't seem to understand how I feel. I'm completely thrilled at the prospect of becoming a mother, but the weight gain is making me miserable. Do I just need to get over myself'? Am I the only one who feels this way?

Hi Lovelyjoy02,
It sounds like you are gaining well. You'll lose that weight quickly if you breastfeed your child. This is one of the added bonuses of breastfeeding.
Be sure you are eating a healthy diet. Eating too many simple carbohydrates and not enough vegetables can easily put the pounds on without giving you the nutrition that you and your baby need.
I would encourage you to focus on eating more fruits and vegetables. Blending them into a smoothie can be really yummy and allow you to get these nutrient packed foods into your body without adding unneeded pounds.
Warm Regards,

Before getting pregnant your weight should be healthy. That means that your weight should be ideal for you. Calculate your BMI.
If you are still not pregnant then I advise you to lose weight, of course, if your BMI isn't okay. Weight loss is a hard thing, so be patient. Eat healthy food, less carbs more proteins, especially lean protein. Eat chicken breasts. Drink more water and no juices! They contain a lot of sugar, so it is bad for your health.

Pretorius Brothers' diamond-importing house in Amsterdam, Holland.
According to Pretorius, the conference was an unsatisfactory one.
The latter added to the difficulties of the situation by suggesting to Pretorius that now was his time to avenge Boomplaatz.
Pretorius and his burghers met the Zulu forces at a river then unnamed.
A word or two of this Pretorius, after whom the now notable town of Pretoria was named.
The church promised by Pretorius was built in 1841, three years later.
The Boers, four hundred in number, were sent by the late Mr. Pretorius to attack the Bakwains in 1852.
Pretorius, however, gave him 48 hours' notice to quit the Republic.
Very soon after Pretorius had sent the marauding party against Kolobeng, he was called away to the tribunal of infinite justice.
No sooner was the proclamation generally known than the horde of Pretorius' followers flew to arms.

Study: No Link Between Combat, Military Suicides
(NEWSER) – People in the military kill themselves for the same reasons civilians do and there is no clear link between combat or deployment overseas and the military'ssurging suicide rate, according to a new study. Researchers, who tracked 150,000 soldiers from 2001 to 2008, found that most of those who killed themselves were heavy drinkers who suffered from depression or had been diagnosed with manic depression, CNN reports. Surprisingly, being deployed for longer than a year was associated with a lower risk of suicide.

Let's see if I can connect some seemingly random thoughts as the housewares industry heads into the busy season for product introductions and back-half planning.
First off, congratulations to the 2013 Housewares Design Awards winners, which were presented during a special 10th anniversary gala and ceremony in New York last week (see story on page 1 of the February 4, 2013, issue).
The winners are the latest standard bearers for the value-added design innovation that stirs the housewares industry at all pricepoint levels every year. Thanks, indeed, to all that entered this year's Housewares Design Awards. Even those that didn't make the finals demonstrate that the industry's zeal for "new and improved" never yields to uncertain market conditions and myriad other potential restraints.
Shopping Journeys
Thanks as well to all who helped deliver the 2013 Housewares Design Awards: to The Gourmet Housewares Show at NYIGF and Whitford Corporation for their valued sponsorship; to the ICD Publications, HomeWorld Business and Gourmet Insider teams for their creative, technical and administrative support; to the Steel Associates team for its detailed coordination of entries and judging; to the judges for their thorough evaluation; to The Merchandise Center for its attentive hosting of the judging; to the Field Marketing & Media team for its enthusiastic media outreach effort; and to Paul Murphy for keeping the awards gala on track.
Speaking of design innovation, housewares buyers and suppliers hunting for inventive new products and programs are preparing to embark on their annual winter and spring shopping journeys to trade shows from Europe to the U.S. to Asia and other points in between.
Narrow Gap
It will be especially interesting to see how the unusually close, two-week gap separating Frankfurt's later-than-usual Ambiente and Chicago's earlier-than-usual International Home + Housewares Show impacts buyer participation in each show.
My guess is the impact will be nominal. Both shows have established firm, distinctive roles for often-overlapping constituents. The show organizers, nonetheless, would be wise to avoid such near-collisions on the calendar in the future to keep that constituency from grumbling.
Housing Boost
Speaking of minimizing the grumbling, here are a couple of recent tidbits that suggest the housing market and related spending are heading toward slightly cheerier times.
The National Association of Realtors reported U.S. home sales rose to 4.65 million in 2012, a gain of 9.2% over 2011 and a five-year high. Rising new home demand finds builders stepping up construction, which bolstered economic prospects to the tune of about 30,000 new jobs in December.
Meanwhile, the Joint Center For Housing Studies of Harvard University reports a surge in remodeling activity after a long period of under-investment in homes left plenty of housing inventory, including a glut of foreclosed/distressed properties, in need of rehabilitation. While aging consumers retrofit for their future needs, the so-called "echo boomers" projected to be the largest generation in our history are primed to enter peak remodeling activity during the next decade.
This would seem to be encouraging developments for businesses that make and sell all the things that will go into those new and refurbished homes— likely to include the 2013 Housewares Design Award winners and many of the products buyers will discover from Frankfurt to Chicago and beyond.
See, it is all connected.

Press release no. 4/2013 from 07/04/2013
1460 Micro ESD
Sophisticated tool for smart minds
Wuppertal-based tool manufacturer launches an interesting innovation on the screwdriving market / Complete torque control for precision applications / ESD function for work on electrostatically endangered components / Multi-zone handle for precise work and optimum power transfer
Wuppertal. Whether you are a professional or an amateur: in the case of work on electrical appliances or components, a tool is quickly picked up and used for tightening or loosening screws on the PC or camera.
But be careful: particularly micro-screws that are often found for example in smart phones, can – if stressed in a careless manner – be easily over-tightened. This can damage the entire expensive appliance and render it useless.
Now that's over with!: that is what the Wuppertal-based tool manufacturer Wera thought and launched the 1460 Micro ESD, a sophisticated tool for precision applications. This special screwdriver allows even the smallest screws to be tightened with torque control, without them being too tightly or loosely tightened subsequently. The selected pre-setting of 3.5 Newton centimetres (Ncm) is the one recommended by leading smartphone manufacturers.
How it functions: when the torque value of 3.5 Ncm is reached, the user hears and feels a distinct "click", which warns against any over-tightening. There is no torque control in the other direction since here it was intentional that there should be fitted restriction, thus enabling even jammed screws to be easily loosened.
Doubly secured: the screwdriver does not only protect the micro-screws with its intelligent torque control mechanism, but also the entire appliance since Wera has provided the 1460 Micro with an additional ESD function in accordance with the latest standards, thus optimising the tool for work on electrostatically endangered components. The new tool can take-up bits frequently used in the electronics sector: 4 mm halfmoon drive (Wera Bit Series 9) or HIOS drive (Wera Bit Series 21). The exchange of the blade takes only a matter of seconds.
Smart zones: the proven Kraftform Micro handle with multi-zone function is also a clever idea. The rotating cap and the fast-turning zone enable rapid twisting. Soft zones have been intentionally integrated in the power zone to enable higher loosening and tightening torque levels to be applied. The precision zone is located just above the blade for the right rotation angle during fine adjustment work.
Other values: a modification of the pre-set torque value is possible within a range of 2-8 Ncm after consciously removing the non-tamper mechanism. It is important to check the newly set value subsequently with a torque tester. However, this task should only be carried out by expert or trained users. That is why there is no scale on the "smart Alec" among the Micro screwdrivers.

Gallery: Urban farmer John Lyons raises chickens in his permaculture garden
Urbanites searching for cruelty-free eggs and farm-fresh produce are hatching plans to raise chickens and grow vegetables in their own backyards, redefining "local" food even beyond the neighborhood farmers market.
"Once you've eaten an egg that has come from a chicken in your backyard, you kind of turn your nose up at even the organic eggs in the store," said John Lyons, who owns the garden and chicken coop design company The Woven Garden.
But as the "urban homestead" movement continues to take flight in the Los Angeles region, many residents are clucking about some cities' bans on the egg-laying animals, which some see only as noisy neighbors.
When done right, backyard chickens can have many benefits, said Mike Scott of Eagle Rock, who builds chicken coops and vegetable gardens with his company Eagle Rock Backyard Farms. They can provide manure for the garden, eat household food waste, produce fresh eggs every morning and can even be lovable family pets.
"It's definitely a lifestyle, it's not just having another pet. You can have a dog and a dog gives you love back, but the chickens actually give you something for treating them really well, and that's the egg," Scott said. "You can't beat fresh eggs."
Chickens are already permitted in many cities, including Los Angeles, Pasadena, South Pasadena, Monterey Park, Glendora, Chino and Rancho Cucamonga, although many restrict the number of chickens per household and most ban roosters.
But San Dimas, Ontario, Montebello, San Gabriel and Whittier are among the cities that ban chickens in residential areas, and many who live in those cities are asking their city councils to lay off.
Last week, the San Marino City Council lifted its ban on backyard chickens at the request of some residents, though the city restricts the number of chickens per household and bans roosters.
San Gabriel is also looking to change its laws. The City Council last month granted resident Vito Clarizio a conditional permit to keep the eight chickens he's housed in his backyard for eight years, and directed staff to develop a new code that would allow backyard chickens with certain regulations.
Long Beach also has been considering loosening regulations on urban agriculture. A City Council committee considered the issue in June, and city staff are continuing to study how new proposed laws could be implemented.
The seemingly eccentric rule, a relic of Long Beach's 20th century urbanization, was part of a pack of changes to the municipal code debated by the City Council's Environmental Committee recently.
The proposed law would allow up to four hens with no restriction, five to 10 chickens at least 25 feet away from a neighboring residence and 11 to 20 of the birds at least 50 feet away from homes.
Currently, up to 20 hens can be kept on a property if they are at least 50 feet away from single and two-family residences and 100 feet from homes of three families or more.
Lyons, who owns 20 chickens at his San Fernando Valley home, said city chicken bans are likely based on antiquated ordinances, and any city that has them should reconsider.
"The chicken ban makes absolutely no sense," Lyons said. "Chickens are very quiet creatures, I don't understand what the restriction is about."
And the growing voice of urban chicken owners may prompt many cities to, like San Marino and San Gabriel, take a second look at their municipal codes.
Jordanne Dervaes, of Urban Homestead in Pasadena, has made a business raising crops and chickens at her family home and helping others do the same. She said when she first started keeping chickens 10 years ago, it was hard to find any information on how to raise them in an urban environment.
"That was breaking new ground," Dervaes said. "It was very scary for me at the time."
Now, owning a chicken coop has become a way for people to eat healthy, natural food and know where it is coming from.
Dervaes said she's happy that urban farming has become more popular, but also is concerned that some chicken owners might not know what they're getting into.
It can be especially hard, she said, because many urban vets and humane societies won't provide chicken health services.
"Now it is a trend and as with every trend people don't adhere to basic things you need to do to take care of an animal," Dervaes said. "I've seen the good and the bad. It's good when people do it right, but if you don't do it right it could backlash for the rest of us who are doing it right."
Though there might not be a chicken vet in Los Angeles cities, websites like backyardchickens.com and urbanchickens.org, and groups like Los Angeles Urban Chicken Enthusiasts, can provide support for the urban farming community.
Rob Ludlow, owner of backyardchickens.com, said his site has more than 125,000 active members nationally, up from 50 when the site first started in 2007.
"There is a growing awareness of how fun and easy it is to raise backyard chickens," Ludlow said via email. "People are quickly realizing that chickens are a multi-purpose pet."
Ludlow, of Pleasant Hill-based Ludlow Concepts Inc., also co-authored "Raising Chickens for Dummies" and "Building Chicken Coops for Dummies."
Scott, who quit his corporate job two years ago to start his backyard farm business, said he has seen a similar boom in business since he started his company. He has built chicken coops, "edible gardens" and bee hives for residents throughout the region and most recently constructed one for the Los Angeles County Arboretum.
"It's basically sustainable living, and chicken coops are a big part of that," he said. "You're basically creating a mini ecosystem."
Ultimately, he said it's not just the environmental or health benefits that make owning chickens so great, it's the atmosphere and the relationship he has with his chickens that make him glad he chose the lifestyle.
"One of my favorite things to do is sit outside with a glass of wine and watch the chickens peck and look for bugs," Scott said. "It's really relaxing."

Bandai Namco Games is justifiably proud of its 57 year heritage as a diverse games and entertainment business built on innovation and enthusiasm. With an iconic product range bearing testament to a long term commitment to its own development programme, the company is also Europe's largest third party distributor of coin-operated and other leisure equipment. Bandai Namco Games lays claim to an impressive list of distribution agreements secured with many market leading manufacturers including Raw Thrills, Jennison Entertainment and Five Star Redemption.
Bandai Namco's John Brennan confirmed that visitors to their stands will be in for a treat: "Throughout the year we participate in several European regional shows but EAG is very important to us, especially now with the added support and involvement of BALPPA. We always showcase new products at EAG International and view the show as the doorway to the New Year. We'll be launching no fewer than seven completely new products in January," confirmed John.
In a market that shows signs of becoming increasingly discriminating, John's view is that only the best of breed will survive. "To attract operator investment in today's economic climate, games have to be especially high on entertainment value and stimulate a whole generation of players," he revealed.
Bandai Namco's plans for EAG International reveal that the company is certainly committed to raising the bar by showing strong products and showcasing its exemplary service and support capabilities.
Amongst the innovative products on show will be five original Namco ticket redemption products and no less than six themed Pac-Man games releases. The exciting new Dark Escape 4D with movement is sure to create a stir. A combination of terrifying graphics playing on the player's fears, vibration, wind and surround sound will test any player to their limits, with heart rate and panic levels being displayed after being recorded by sensors in the gun grip.
Making its European debut will be SnoCross from leading arcade video game creator Raw Thrills. Players race snowmobiles and sleds around some of the world's most extreme and exciting tracks. The experience is enhanced through HD graphics and a motion seat and players can share their scores on Facebook via personalised QR codes.
Pac-Man themed Big Bang Smash takes the popular game of air hockey to a whole new level. Instead of players having to deal with just one or two pucks, dozens of mini pucks are fired out during play, delivering extra speed and excitement.
With the sales team and technical support staff being joined by manufacturers and distributors, a visit to the Bandai Namco stands at EAG International must be high on the agenda for anyone in the serious business of innovation, entertainment and inspiration.
Registration for EAG International Expo 2013 is now open at www.eagexpo.com

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Interior be, and he is hereby, empowered to grant rights-of-way for all purposes, subject to such conditions as he may prescribe, over and across any lands now or hereafter held in trust by the United States for individual Indians or Indian tribes, communities, bands, or nations, or any lands now or hereafter owned, subject to restrictions against alienation, by individual Indians or Indian tribes, communities, bands, or nations, including the lands belonging to the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico, and any other lands heretofore or hereafter acquired or set aside for the use and benefit of the Indians.
No grant of a right-of-way over and across any lands belonging to a tribe organized under the Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984), as amended; the Act of May 1, 1936 (49 Stat. 1250); or the Act of June 26, 1936 (49 Stat. 1967), shall be made without the consent of the proper tribal officials. Rights-of-way over and across lands of individual Indians may be granted without the consent of the individual Indian owners if (1) the land is owned by more than one person, and the owners or owner of a majority of the interests therein consent to the grant; (2) the whereabouts of the owner of the land or an interest therein are unknown, and the owners or owner of any interests therein whose whereabouts are known, or a majority thereof, consent to the grant; (3) the heirs or devisees of a deceased owner of the land or an interest therein have not been determined, and the Secretary of the Interior finds that the grant will cause no substantial injury to the land or any owner thereof; or (4) the owners of interests in the land are so numerous that the Secretary finds it would be impracticable to obtain their consent, and also finds that the grant will cause no substantial injury to the land or any owner thereof.
No grant of a right-of-way shall be made without the payment of such compensation as the Secretary of the Interior shall determine to be just. The compensation received on behalf of the Indian owners shall be disposed of under rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior.
This Act shall not in any manner amend or repeal the provisions of the Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920 (41 Stat. 1063), as amended by the Act of August 26, 1935 (49 Stat. 838), nor shall any existing statutory authority empowering the Secretary of the Interior to grant rights-of-way over Indian lands be repealed hereby.
Rights-of-way for the use of the United States may be granted under this Act upon application by the department or agency having jurisdiction over the activity for which the right-of-way is to be used.
The Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized to prescribe any necessary regulations for the purpose of administering the provisions of this Act.
This Act shall not become operative until thirty days after its approval.
Approved, February 5, 1948.

</div> <i>
ITS BACK! Silly wry show bout alien activities on earth a different take on comedy.
Kirsten needs a BAXKBONE and believe in herself or se will be gone.
So far it's ok but Laura is a bit of nerve wrecking and it's annoying , if she goes on like that I won't watch it anymore
Not as dark as I thought it would be but I liked it. I liked the fact that they didn't fill it with models and pretty people that don't know how to act. It was good acting and the story line looks like it will be good. I'll definitely be watching it again. I'll give it an 8 for now but that could change.
in the first MINUTE you realize it is a stitch. Also - waaaaaaay to easy AND early for forgiveness. They really (really, really) need to get on track with the main sory line.
Everybody should watched this...... It's extremely fantastic

Through sheer luck and a lot of networking, I've been able to obtain quite a few tombstone pictures for our family history. Two of them are for a father and son, David and William Livingston Holmes and they are my subjects for Tombstone Tuesday.
David Holmes
Information on the father, David Holmes is a little sparse and not all documented, but it's most likely he was born in Virginia circa 1777. He was an older brother to my fourth Great Grandfather, John Holmes who was born in 1784. I am not even sure if these two men were full brothers, or half brothers, but John's letter of 1872, which I have in my possession, claims him as a brother. David Holmes died 15 September 1869 in DeKalb County, Missouri.
William Livingston Holmes
David's oldest son and child was William Livingston Holmes who was born 30 May 1807 in Overton County, Tennsessee. William and his wife, as well as three of their children were members of the 1843 Oregon Trail wagon train that arrived in Oregon City, Oregon in November of that year. William was the first sheriff of Clackamas County, Oregon serving from 1845 to 1852.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Thailand's Chapchai Nirat began his bid to end a four-year title drought by grabbing a share of the lead with six-under-par 66 at the SAIL-SBI Open on Wednesday.
Armed with a hot putter, the 29-year-old Thai nailed eight birdies, as against two bogeys, at the par-72 Delhi Golf Club to jointly lead the Asian Tour event he famously won four years back with local rookie Khalin Joshi.
Nicknamed 'King Kong' for his big-hitting game, Chapchai set a Tour record for 72-hole total with his 32-under-par 256 victory in 2009 at a different course on the outskirts of Delhi.
Seeking his fourth Asian Tour title, he displayed signs of the same ominous form in Wednesday's opening round.
"My putting was very good today," he said. "I stuck to my new putting routine and didn't take too much time over my putts. I feel confident for the rest of the week."
Playing his maiden Asian Tour event as pro, 20-year-old Joshi missed what could have been his 10th birdie from 10 feet on his last hole to share the lead with Chapchai.
"I putted really well today. I've been hitting the ball well the past few weeks but the putter was hot today, made quite a few," said Joshi.
"I'm going to approach the rest of the week like how I did today, just play within myself. This is the first week I am not playing with my driver. I'll do that the whole week. Just keep the same attitude."
Korean-American Chan Kim came up with a couple of chip-in birdies to move into contention in his rookie season on the Tour.
"I was pretty shocked when I got here," said the 22-year-old, who trailed the leaders by a shot after sinking six birdies and a bogey in the opening round.
"My partners in Myanmar were telling me how narrow it (the fairway) was and I looked online and it didn't look as narrow. But when I stepped on the first tee on Monday, I kind of got a taste of how it really is," he said.

POMONA, CA -- A Shop24 automated store will be up and running on the California State Polytechnic University's Pomona campus when the fall semester starts. The giant vending machine store will be placed at University Village, a student housing facility with more than 1,300 residents.
The vending machines are made by Shop24 Global LLC (Columbus, OH)
"Shop24 will allow us to serve the residents at the University Village who have not had access to any food services within a reasonable walking distance before," said Aaron Neilson, interim director of dining services for the university. "They are very excited about our partnership with Shop24. The integration of our campus card will also allow us to gain better penetration of our Bronco Bucks program in that location."
California State Polytechnic University is the second largest polytechnic school in the U.S. and one of the 23 schools in the CSU system.

On Food
Starve a Fever, Feed a ColdBy Robin Bellinger
My husband and I got engaged on December 30, 2005, in a restaurant in Greenwich Village. We spent the next night at home, having planned a feast for two. About halfway through an afternoon of strenuous cooking, however, Andrew became quiet and glassy-eyed. He took to the couch, rousing himself only when I served the fish.
The sight of his laden plate made him flinch, but he bravely took a bite of potato-crusted salmon. "Mmm," he said unconvincingly, "this is good." Mine was overcooked. "I think I'm going to throw up," he said. I thought that was a drastic overcorrection, but before I could say so, he was on his way to the bathroom, where he remained for many hours.
This gave me plenty of time to drain the champagne, eat up my gougeres and caramels, and contemplate the future to which I had recently committed myself. Is this a psychosomatic reaction to the idea of being with me forever? I wondered. I suppose this is what having children will be like, I thought, as I did my best to keep him clean and comfortable and get him into bed once his body had expelled everything.
Now I know that when your child is sick, you, too, are often sick, making motherly nursing even more challenging than I had imagined. I spend long stretches of every winter making cup after cup of peppermint or ginger tea to decloud my head. This past December, as I coped with my third annual Thanksgiving-through-New-Year's malaise, I thought to consult Mrs. Beeton, whose masterwork, Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management, I remembered included a chapter on invalid cookery.

Mount Vernon vs. Newport
When: Tuesday night, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Newport H.S.
Breakdown: Newport finished the season 13-7, but six of those losses came in Kingco play and the Knights took fourth in the Kingco Crown division behind Garfield, Issaquah and Ballard. In the District 2 Tournament, though, Newport came roaring to life after losing to Bothell in the first round. The Knights beat Eastlake, Ballard — for the first time in three tries — and Inglemoor to take third place and keep their season alive. Mount Vernon, which beat Edmonds-Woodway and Monroe on the consolation side of the bracket after losing to Jackson in the semis of the District 1 tourney, must shut down 6-foot-3 junior guard Will Ferris. Ferris is the Knights leading scorer and scored 16 and 15 points in the wins over Eastlake and Ballard, respectively. Newport's sophomore center Calvin Throckmorton is coming on as well, scoring a game-high 19 points in the win over Inglemoor.
Key players: Newport—Will Ferris, G, Jr.; Isaac Dotson, F, Sr.; Miles Fowler, F, Sr.; Calvin Throckmorton, C, So. Mount Vernon—Kevin Hofstad, G, Sr.; Casey Leek, F, Jr.; Andrew Roozen, F, Sr.; Melvin Walser, G, Jr.
Twitter: @krueger_david
Winner's reward: A trip to Wenatchee for a showdown against 10th-ranked Eastmont.
Lake Stevens vs. Newport
When: Tonight, 5:45 p.m.
Where: Newport H.S.
Breakdown: Not unlike their boys counterpart, the Newport girls finished near the middle of the Kingco Crown division. In the District 2 tournament, the Lady Knights beat Eastlake twice — in the first round and consolation final — to punch their ticket to tonight's crossover game against Lake Stevens, which has won seven of eight games since the return of star guard Brooke Pahukoa. The Vikings only loss in that time was to district champ Lynnwood. A great matchup tonight will be Pahukoa against Newport wing Marikah Wright.
Key players: Newport—Marikah Wright, W, Sr.; Chiara Victor, G, Jr.; Anna Crabtree, G, Jr.; Casey Schoenlein, P, Jr. Lake Stevens—Brooke Pahukoa, G, Sr.; Brittney Pahukoa, G, Sr.; Kali Long, F, Jr.; Emily Vandegrift, F, So.

Winner's reward: A trip to Wenatchee for game against Davis.

EL SEGUNDO - Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni still believes in championships.
When he was hired -- and Phil Jackson was not -- D'Antoni said anything less than a championship would be a disappointment.
Lakers reflect on the '12-13 season: PAINTER: No easy solutions for aging, ailing Lakers | Bonsignore on Dwight Howard | Painter on Pau Gasol | Medina on Kobe Bryant | Painter on Mike D'Antoni | Medina on Mitch Kupchak | Inside the Lakers blog | Photos: Lakers season highs and lows | Exit interview photos
The Lakers barely made the playoffs, were just swept by San Antonio in the first round, and D'Antoni is still thinking championships, despite a world of uncertainty with the Lakers roster.
But that's how it always should be for the Lakers.
"I think championships should be the expectation," D'Antoni said. "As a matter of fact, I would think 30 teams are talking championships in September. They should. Why not? Realistically, we have enough talent if everything remains the same or whatever tweaks (general manager) Mitch (Kupchak) and the organization make. We should have (enough) to win a championship."
The Lakers don't know if Dwight Howard will re-sign, which affects whether Pau Gasol would be back.
Kobe Bryant will be back, but it's not clear what his game will be like.
D'Antoni weathered the "We want Phil!" chants this season but feels the love from the front office.
"I feel the support," D'Antoni said. "You've got a guy (Kupchak) coming in next who can answer that question. They let you do your job."
D'Antoni tweaked his offense, after he'd angered Gasol for relegating him to the bench and figured this older team couldn't run an up-tempo offense.
"Assuming the personnel is decided, you try to play to their strengths," D'Antoni said. "It took a while to get there. Once we figured it out, it went better even with a lot of injuries. We can tweak things and get it better."
And championships are still the benchmark, despite this last disastrous season.
That's the way it should be.

Baseball teams never can have enough pitching. From Cottonwood High's perspective, the more arms the better this season.
Three different pitchers have earned a victory through the Colts' first five games entering this week. Early success aside, Cottonwood pitchers still have to earn their spot in the rotation before the region season begins.
"Our goal is to have eight arms, and they're fighting to be in the top eight because they'll all pitch at some point," Colts coach Jason Crawford said. "Whoever throws the best this week will get the first opportunity."
Sophomore Tevita Gerber, a southpaw, might be considered the favorite to be the team's ace. Gerber was 2-0 following victories over Granger (5-1) and Syracuse (13-1). Senior right-hander Skyler Sylvester looked sharp in a 10-2 win over Olympus, while Jeff Barton earned the win in relief against Bingham.
Hard-throwing juniors Carter Owens and Hunter Smith, who both have reached the mid-to-upper 80s, also are in the mix along with left-handers Jake Shapiro, Nathan Crowther and Trey Lacher.
Gerber and Smith both went 2-2 last season, while Owens was 1-1.
"We're a lot deeper than last year," Crawford said about his pitching options. "Our pitchers have thrown a lot of strikes and pitched to contact, which is all we ask them to do. We don't have the big, dominant arm. We have average to slightly above-average arms. We try to pitch off our fastball and locate that first."
Having capable arms available will come in handy once region play begins. Region teams play three-game series each week, meaning three different pitchers will start instead of seeing an opposing team's ace more than once.
According to Crawford, the pitcher who doesn't win the third or fourth starting job out of preseason will be the team's first option in relief.
"You truly see who the best team is that week," Crawford said. "Having pitching depth obviously helps. You've got to go win the series, which makes it a little more competitive. We try to challenge our pitchers daily to compete against each other to make our team better. It does help when region starts."
While Owens and Smith might throw the hardest, Cottonwood's pitchers are a blend of power and finesse. Their mission is simple throw strikes and let the defense behind them record the outs. That's all any coach could want.
"They have a good understanding of our philosophy and have matured quite a bit," Crawford said. "We just want them to be themselves and not try to be anything else. This year's team is unbelievably awesome. They want to do everything together. They're a tight-knit group."
This week's Hard 9 National Classic Tournament in Anaheim, Calif., will go a long way to determine who opens region in Cottonwood's starting rotation. Crawford said each pitcher would get a start in the four-day tournament.
"They'll all pitch, and we'll see who's going to win it," he said.

So, this is my problem with backtrack4:
I use arch, and wanted to have backtrack 4 pre final installed as well, so, as i had to reinstall all my system, i also installed bt4 first, in one single partition, and then, arch with /boot and /home in different partitions.
The thing is that now, i cannot boot into backtrack, and only boot into arch.
My question is: How can i add a new entry in my arch grub boot menu so i can boot into bt4? Like some kind of dual boot with two linux distros.....
Thanks! :)
