Well this is an interview with one of the chaps certified under Billy Robinson
Theres a chap called Mick Fage I think in Kettering who is a pro-wrestling trainer but he was trained by a wrestling booth wrester. He may be able to point you in the right direction.
Also I think Robbie Brookside the pro-wrestling trainer in Leicester fought in the Blackpool wrestling booth. He may know an old timer or two still going.
There are people around but theres no culture of teaching in gyms it seems.
I develped my entire interest in grappling/wrestling from an old bloke who drank in the pub I frequented as an underager.
He wrestled in the wrestling booth in Yarmouth and used to mention having to close down drunken members of the Navy. The booze had got to him but he was still massivly strong. Norwich apparently had a wrestling gym in its old lads club but theres scant reference to it anywhere, although enough to verify that claim.
I just dont think back in the day there was any interest in it in a sportive context
Its a shame but at least theres some people who know.
Theres certainly more people with catch training than there were Brazilian black belts 10 years ago

|Summary: Antlr Task for ant
Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool. In theory, it is kind of like Make, but without Make's wrinkles. Why another build tool when there is already make, gnumake, nmake, jam, and others? Because all those tools have limitations that Ant's original author could not live with when developing software across multiple platforms. Make-like tools are inherently shell-based--they evaluate a set of dependencies then execute commands, not unlike what you would issue in a shell. This means that you can easily extend these tools by using or writing any program for the OS that you are working on. However, this also means that you limit yourself to the OS, or at least the OS type, such as Unix, that you are working on. Makefiles are inherently evil as well. Anybody who has worked on them for any time has run into the dreaded tab problem. "Is my command not executing because I have a space in front of my tab???" said the original author of Ant way too many times. Tools like Jam took care of this to a great degree, but still have yet another format to use and remember. Ant is different. Instead of a model where it is extended with shell-based commands, Ant is extended using Java classes. Instead of writing shell commands, the configuration files are XML-based, calling out a target tree where various tasks are executed. Each task is run by an object that implements a particular task interface. Granted, this removes some of the expressive power that is inherent by being able to construct a shell command such as `find . -name foo -exec rm {}`, but it gives you the ability to be cross-platform--to work anywhere and everywhere. If you really need to execute a shell command, Ant has an <exec> task that allows different commands to be executed based on the OS used.
* Thu Dec 15 2011 email@example.com - use dist and javadocs targets to make javadoc build really configurable - disable javadoc build on arm to speedup the build of java platform * Sat Sep 17 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile * Wed Mar 09 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to ant 1.8.2 * performance improvements in directory scanning * XSLT task honors classpath again (bugrep 49271) * distinction between core tasks and optional tasks is abolished * new task augment allows to add attributes or nested elements to previously defined references * Lexically scoped local properties, i.e. properties that are only defined inside a target, sequential block or similar environment. This is very useful inside of <macrodef>s where a macro can now define a temporary property that will disappear once the task has finished. * <import> can now import from any file- or URL-providing resource - this includes <javaresource>. This means <import> can read build file snippets from JARs or fixed server URLs. There are several other improvements in the area of import. * Various improvements to the directory scanning code that help with symbolic link cycles (as can be found on MacOS X Java installations for example) and improve scanning performance. For big directory trees the improvement is dramatic. * The way developers can extend Ant's property expansion algorithm has been rewritten (breaking the older API) to be easier to use and be more powerful. The whole local properties mechanism is implemented using that API and could be implemented in a separate library without changes in Ant's core. Things like the yet-to-be-released props Antlib can now provide often required "scripty" fuctions without touching Ant itself. At the same time the if and unless attributes have been rewritten to do the expected thing if applied to a property expansion (i.e. if="${foo}" will mean "yes, do it" if ${foo} expands to true, in Ant 1.7.1 it would mean "no" unless a property named "true" existed). This adds "testing conditions" as a new use-case to property expansion. * A new top-level element <extension-point> assists in writing re-usable build files that are meant to be imported. <extension-point> has a name and a dependency-list like <target> and can be used like a <target> from the command line or a dependency-list but the importing build file can add targets to the <extension-point>'s depends list. * Ant now requires Java 1.4 or later new task include provides an alternative to <import> that should be preferred when you don't want to override any targets * numerous bug fixes and improvements as documented in Bugzilla and in WHATSNEW - merge the nodeps and trax packages to main one - build ant-antlr.spec using openjdk - add ant-apache-xalan2 and ant-testutil - remove all pom files, as they are included and build from source tarball * Fri Apr 09 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - fix bnc#595144 - Compiled binary in ant remove test.exe from source tarball * Thu Mar 18 2010 email@example.com - fix the compat symlinks * Wed Mar 17 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - return back the /usr/share/ant/lib compat symlinks http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-java/2010-03/msg00007.html * Mon Jul 20 2009 email@example.com - build against log4j-mini to avoid build cycle * Wed Jun 17 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - do not use Release number in Requires of subpackages * Sun May 03 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - do not assume release number for ant and ant-antlr are identical * Tue Apr 28 2009 email@example.com - update to 1.7.1. Upstream changes (full list is in WHATSNEW): * String resources only have properties single expanded. If you relied on <string> resources being expanded more than once, it no longer happens. Bugzilla report 42277. * A String resource's encoding attribute was only taken into account when set from the resource's OutputStream; the InputStream provided the String's binary content according to the platform's default encoding. Behavior has been modified to encode outgoing (InputStream) content as well as encoding incoming (OutputStream) content. * <java> with fork now returns gives -1 instead of 0 as result when * failonerror is false and some exception (including timeout) occurs. Br 42377. * ant-type attribute has been marked as deprecated and a warning has been issued if it is encountered in the build file. * FileUtils.createTempFile now actually creates the file. The TempFile task still does not create the file by default, can be instructed to do so however using a new parameter. Bugzilla report 33969. - added maven pom files from jpackage project - synchronized ant.spec with jpackage.org 5.0 - used ant-antlr-prepare.sh for generate of ant-antlr.spec from ant.spec to keep them synchronized. Build is branched using value of %%bootstrap macro: * bootstrap == 1 means build ant, ant-{jmf,nodeps,scripts,swing,trax} * bootstrap == 0 means build rest of ant modules + ant-javadoc

text: So, I've basically been working 7 days a week since Hurricane Sandy trying to keep my company in at least a somewhat functional state. Well, I've got most of my company functional right now even though everyone is working in places other than our office. (our building is closed and will be for somewhere around a month) I decided that I was taking Sunday off. (well, still did a few things) I wasn't sure what I was going to do, but I woke up early in the morning and flipped on the TV. The Channel was on the Science Channel. (one of my channels of choice) A show was just coming on called Firefly and they were going to run the entire series throughout the day. I decided to see what it was and watched the first episode. It was kind of an off-beat Sci-Fi Western type show. I figured something like Tera Nova which wasn't all that good, but watched it anyhow. Anyhow, it took an episode or two, but I actually found the show was actually very good and it just got better as it went on. (Mal starts out a bit difficult, but they cleaned up his character within a few episodes) Anyhow, the show only has about 25 episodes before it was cancelled, but it has a huge cult following. (it's from 2002-2003) I suppose I never heard of it since I don't watch much TV. Anyhow, it's on Netflix if you have it. If you like SciFi TV, I think you will like Firefly and I highly recommend it.

My name is Brandon Clifford. I have a 3-1 record in pro mma (0-1 on sherdog - bastards!) so not the worst but definately not the best out there.
I have trained with Roger Gracie academy, London Shoot, Straight Blast and vulcan wrestling in Dublin, and various boxing and thai boxing gyms in and around london.
I never make claims to be the dogs' but I love mma and have always had an ambition to open a gym. My plan from day one was to out-source the coaching to those that really know their game and I believe thats what I am doing. I have a partner in the gym - Juliusz Malik, an ex-pro bodybuilder from Gdansk in Poland, he self admitedly states he knows very little about mma but is a sucessfull business man and helped me sourse the coaches.
Hope this clears any mystery!
Hi Brandon so if you weren't talking about Carlsons I take it you were talking about 'bully boy' tactics at London Shoot?
was not refering to either club, something I should have said when I was replying to Simon. I should have chosen my words more wisely,(hindsight is a wonderfull thing) because I was not refering to shoot either - I shouldnt have said "at those gyms mentioned".
Just to clear this up, I have never trained at carlsons but have heard it to be a sound gym. I have trained at shoot and KNOW It to be a great gym, I havent trained there in a long while now but still have many friends there with who I keep in contact.
I never seen any bully tactics at shoot and was refering to things I have seen at other gyms that I have trained at since leaving london shoot.I SHOULD HAVE CLARIFIED THAT. I seen a seasoned muay thai guy hammer the shit out of a novice and the instructors watched and did or said nothing. I also seen an experienced bjj instructor continue choking a begginer even though the guy tapped about 30 times just so he could show how effective the technique was.
Neither Paul or Alexis at shoot would tolerate this sort of bullshit and have allways matched up guys of equal abillity.
Really sorry Paul and Simon as I can see by my response to Jay how you guys may have got pissed !
Classy post by Brandon - all the best with the new gym. You're actually just down the road from me, so will try to stop by and say hello.
Good luck with New School. Next time we in London we will stop by.
Any pictures yet?

Deputy Administrator (WHD), Nancy Leppink
Testimony of
Nancy J. Leppink, Deputy Wage and Hour Administrator
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
before the
Subcommittee on Agriculture, Energy, and Trade
Committee on Small Business
U.S. House of Representatives
February 2, 2012
Good morning Chairman Tipton, Ranking Member Critz, and Members of the Subcommittee. Thank you for the invitation to testify at this hearing on the child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act as they apply to agricultural employment, statutory provisions that were intended to protect the welfare of our nation's children and to ensure that they are not put in harm's way when they are hired and employed in agriculture businesses.
Mr. Chairman, the Department of Labor recognizes the importance of youth employment in instilling in young people a sense of responsibility, and the valuable role of agricultural work in promoting a sense of stewardship for the nation's land and animals. Furthermore, the Department appreciates and respects the role of parents in raising their children and assigning tasks and chores to those children on farms. As this testimony will show, policy proposals currently under consideration and recently reviewed by the public are intended to promote the viability of agriculture, while respecting and upholding the values and culture of our Nation's rural communities. We welcome the dialogue with this Committee and want to ensure that the views of the agriculture community as a whole are fully considered. After receiving a number of comments from the agriculture community on the need to provide the Department with further input on the parental exemption, the Department announced on February 1, 2012, that it would re-propose the parental exemption portion of its recent Notice of Proposed Rule Making on child labor in agriculture.
The Department recognizes the unique attributes of farm families and rural communities. The re-proposal process will seek comments and input as to how the Department can comply with statutory requirements to protect children, while respecting rural traditions. The Department will continue to review the comments received regarding the remaining portions of the proposed rule for inclusion in a final rule.
Until the rule on the parental exemption is final, the Wage and Hour Division will apply the parental exemption to employment situations where the parent or person standing in place of the parent owns or operates a farm. This will include situations in which the parent or person standing in place of the parent is part owner of the farm as a partner in a partnership or as an officer of a corporation which owns the farm if the ownership interest in the partnership or corporation is substantial. This approach is consistent with guidance the Wage and Hour Division had provided to the public on its web site for the past several years.
Since it was passed in 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has established minimum wage, overtime compensation, recordkeeping, and child labor standards. Congress recognized the need for minimum wage and overtime requirements to ensure that workers are fairly compensated for their labor, especially when working long hours for their employer. Congress also knew that the overtime requirements would create the incentive for employers to spread available employment opportunities by encouraging them to hire more employees instead of working a few employees long hours.
In addition to wage protections, the child labor provisions were a cornerstone of the FLSA. At the time the FLSA was enacted into law, many States had passed child labor protections and Congress was building on these many decades of state laws to protect all children in the workplace. Congress recognized that, when children work, they should do so under conditions that do not put them in harm's way -- conditions that do not put at risk their health, well-being, or educational opportunities. One of the highest priorities of the Secretary of Labor has been and continues to be the prevention of the death and injury of children as a result of their employment in hazardous occupations.
Children serving as employees in agriculture businesses are among the most vulnerable of our nation's workers.1 The fatality rate for young agricultural employees is four times greater than that of their peers employed in nonagricultural work places.2 Between 2003 and 2010, 130 children 15 years of age and younger died on the job. Seventy-three percent of these were employed in agriculture.3 The most common cause of agricultural deaths among child employees is farm machinery, with tractors involved in about a third of the fatalities.4
The injuries suffered by children employed in agriculture tend to be more severe than those suffered by children employed in industries other than agriculture. For example, in recent years the WHD investigated the death of a 15-year-old employee who was killed when he was thrown from the bucket of a front-end loader tractor attachment in which he was riding. Many tragic and unnecessary accidents involving children employed in agriculture never make the national news, but result in significant harm to the lives of those children and their families.
The Department of Labor has worked to enhance its enforcement, update its regulations, and expand its education and outreach to better ensure that children employed in agriculture businesses have positive work experiences that do not put them in harm's way. Through enhanced enforcement, using new strategies and all available enforcement tools, the WHD obtains employers' compliance with child labor laws by engaging in effective investigations; maintains their compliance with the assessment of civil money penalties; and, sustains that compliance through education and outreach to employers, employees and communities, often leveraging resources outside of the WHD. In addition to an effective enforcement and compliance strategy, we need up-to-date regulations that are responsive to changes in industries and are based on the Department's enforcement experience, the best available data, the recommendations of safety and health experts, and input from employers, employees and the public.
Statutory History
The enactment of the FLSA in 1938 provided Federal restrictions on the employment of children in private employment, including agriculture. The nonagricultural child labor provisions of the FLSA apply to youth under the age of 18. Children 17 and younger are prohibited from working in any occupation that the Secretary has designated as hazardous, and fourteen- and 15-year-olds are only allowed to work during periods and under conditions that will not interfere with their schooling or health and well-being. The agricultural provisions of the FLSA only apply to youth under the age of 16. Once a child reaches the age of 16, he or she may be employed in agriculture to do any work at any time.
When first enacted, the FLSA permitted the employment of children in agriculture as long as they were "not legally required to attend school." Exemptions in State compulsory school attendance laws for young migrant agricultural workers, however, who were not subject to mandatory school attendance requirements, confounded this initial effort to protect children working in agriculture and allowed very young children to be lawfully employed in any agricultural employment at any hour of the day. Congress subsequently amended the FLSA in 1949 to provide additional protections to children employed in agriculture; specifically, the amendments prohibited children from working during school hours in the school district where they lived while employed. This change made it illegal for children 15 years old and younger to be employed in agricultural work during school hours. Again, in 1966, Congress further strengthened the FLSA's child labor protections by prohibiting the employment of children under the age of 16 in agricultural occupations that the Secretary of Labor finds and declares to be particularly hazardous for children 15 years of age and younger. In 1974, Congress further restricted the agricultural work of youth under the age of 14 -- 12- and 13-year-olds can work in nonhazardous occupations outside of school hours if they have the consent of their parent or work on the same farm as their parent, and the employment of youth under the age of 12 is largely prohibited. It is important to note, however, that these expanding protections have always allowed for the children of farmers to be employed on their parent's farm without restriction.
When Congress enacted the FLSA in 1938, it included a parental exemption from the child labor provisions. This parental exemption makes sense, since parents have a unique, natural concern for the best interests of their children including their safety and health. That exemption, as amended, allows a parent to employ his or her child in nonagricultural employment except in mining, manufacturing, or an occupation found by the Secretary of Labor to be particularly hazardous. When it amended the FLSA in 1966 to prohibit children under the age of 16 from performing agricultural work that is "particularly hazardous," Congress exempted from this prohibition a child who is "employed by his or her parent or by a person standing in place of his parent on a farm owned or operated by such parent or person."5 The parental exemption in agriculture applies not only to children who are employed by their parents on a farm that is owned by their parents, but to children who are employed by their parents on a farm that is operated by their parents, provided that children working on farms operated by their parents are working outside of school hours. Of course, the parental exemption is not needed in agricultural employment once a child reaches the age of 16; at that age, children may perform any agricultural work at any time, whether or not they are employed by their parents.
In summary, under the statute, children aged 16 and older may be employed to work on any farm, in any farm job, at any time. Children aged 14-15 may be employed in non-hazardous agricultural jobs outside of school hours. Children aged 12-13 may be employed outside of school hours in nonhazardous agricultural jobs on farms where their parents are also employed or if the children have written parental consent. Children under the age of 12 may be employed on small farms not subject to the FLSA minimum wage if the work is performed outside of school hours, in non-hazardous agricultural jobs, and if they have parental consent6.
Wage and Hour Efforts
Unfortunately, even with current laws on the books, there are employers who continue to illegally hire and employ children to work in hazardous jobs in agriculture businesses. Child farm employees are still killed or injured on the job, and one child injured or killed on the job is one too many. It is also not uncommon for WHD to find very young children working illegally in the fields exposed to numerous hazards including pesticides, dangerous machinery, and other hazards. The Phoenix WHD District Office found children as young as 10 and 11 years old who had been illegally hired by farm labor contractors to work in the fields during the fall chili pepper harvest. Our WHD McAllen District Office found children as young as 9 and 10 harvesting onions and a separate investigation found a child, 6-years old, also illegally employed to harvest onions. Enforcement experiences like these make increasing compliance with federal child labor protections one of my agency's most critical priorities.
WHD has over the last three years systematically enhanced its enforcement activities, including increasing the number of enforcement personnel, establishing a directed enforcement strategy, and utilizing all the enforcement tools provided by the FLSA, in an effort to more effectively and broadly obtain compliance with the laws applicable to the agricultural industry. Unlike the FLSA minimum wage and overtime provisions, the statute does not provide for a private right of action to address illegal child labor, thus making the agency's role in safeguarding young workers all the more important. Furthermore, a robust enforcement presence that ensures all agricultural workers are paid the wages to which they are legally entitled reduces parents' need to bring their underage children to work to supplement the family income.
In an effort to ensure that we protect and keep working children safe while not limiting their opportunity to be employed in positive work experiences, the Department of Labor has for a number of years been reviewing the Federal child labor regulations. In May 2010, the Department issued final regulations that updated the child labor protections in nonagricultural employment. These new rules reflected the most substantial changes to the nonagricultural child labor provisions in over 30 years. The modernized rules not only identified additional jobs that are too hazardous for children to perform but also added to the jobs young workers can safely perform.
Once the revisions to the child labor regulations in nonagricultural employment were completed, the Department then turned to modernizing the regulations governing employment in agriculture, targeting the work that is most likely to result in a child's death or serious injury. The current federal agricultural child labor rules were issued over forty years ago and have never been updated or revised. In 2010, WHD held two listening sessions prior to publishing the proposed rule, one for worker advocates and one for the USDA and its stakeholders.7 On September 2, 2011, the Department published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), suggesting changes to the child labor regulations to better protect young workers employed in agriculture from hazards by updating and enhancing the agricultural hazardous occupation orders. Essentially, the Department's NPRM is proposing to update the agricultural child labor regulations to bring them into the 21st century based upon the WHD's own enforcement experience, recommendations made by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and a commitment to bringing these rules in line, where allowed by the statutory provisions, with the more protective rules that apply to children employed in nonagricultural occupations. We have received over 10,000 comments on the proposed rule, and will carefully consider them as we draft a final rule.
The proposed rule only limits children who are age 15 and younger and serving as employees on a farm not owned or operated by their parent (or person standing in the place of the parent) from performing the most hazardous jobs. The Department's proposed rule also only applies to situations where there is an employment relationship. In other words, a child of any age could, for example, assist a neighbor to round up loose cattle that have broken out of their fencing because that would not establish an employer/employee relationship. Nor would the regulation apply to situations where a child is raising a pig as part of her 4-H project, or taking the pig she has raised to sell at a county fair or market on her own behalf. And, even if an employment relationship is established a child could still help a neighbor with chores such as hand harvesting crops, detasseling corn, bucking hay onto a trailer, mending fences, and performing many other tasks.
Many of the proposals in the NPRM relate to updating the hazardous occupation orders that limit the agricultural employment of youth under the age of 16 unless the parental exemption applies. These hazardous occupation orders have not been updated for 40 years. The NPRM proposes to amend those orders to, among other things:
- Prohibit child farm employees who are 15-years old and younger from operating most power-driven equipment, including tractors and other hazardous farm implements. A similar prohibition against the operation of power-driven equipment has existed for 14- and 15-year-olds in the nonagricultural child labor provisions for over fifty years. However, "bona fide" student learners those enrolled in agricultural vocational education programs recognized by state or local authority age 14 and 15 would still be permitted to operate certain tractors (when equipped with proper rollover protection structures and seat belts) and many hazardous farm implements, provided that they meet certain requirements.
- Limit the "student learner" exemption to the prohibition against 14- and 15-year olds operating tractors and other heavy machinery to only those children who are enrolled in vocational education programs offered by a state or local educational authority, or a substantially similar program conducted by a private school, and have completed 90 hours of instruction in agricultural education. This would scale back the current exemption, which is also available to children who have taken tractor and farm machine certification programs. The proposed rule would not eliminate safety programs that are provided by organizations such as 4-H and the FFA. The Department of Labor fully supports the important contributions of these organizations and recognizes the critical role they play in teaching and training children about best practices in agricultural work, which have a greater purpose than issuing the certifications required by the current federal child labor regulations.
- Strengthen the current child labor prohibitions for agricultural work with animals; in timber operations; in manure pits; in fruit, forage, or grain storage silos or bins; and in pesticide handling. New agricultural hazardous occupation orders, similar to those applicable to children employed in nonagricultural workplaces, would as proposed prohibit hiring farm workers under the age of 16 years for such tasks as construction, wrecking, demolition, excavation, roofing, and working at heights greater than six feet. Under the proposed rule, children who are 15 years of age and younger could generally still be employed to perform many nonhazardous jobs on farms such as gathering eggs, detasseling corn, weeding gardens, mucking out stalls, mending or painting fences, hand harvesting, and feeding and watering farm animals. Much of the work performed on farms would still be available to children hired to work. Only the most hazardous jobs would be off limits.
- Prevent children from being hired in the cultivation, harvesting, and curing of tobacco to reduce the risk of green tobacco sickness.
- Create new agricultural and nonagricultural hazardous occupations orders that prohibit child employees from using electronic devices, including communication devices, while operating power-driven equipment, including motor vehicles and tractors. Injuries and deaths to workers of all ages caused by the distractions presented by such electronic devices have increased over the last few years with the advent of new technologies. The proposed rule does not, however, prohibit child employees from using two-way radios to communicate on tractors, trucks or combines when the vehicle is parked, or to listen to one-way radios or other music devices as long as the device is operated "hands free" without headphones or ear buds. The proposed rule also would not prohibit a child from glancing at or listening to a navigational device, provided that the destination and route are programmed while the vehicle is not in motion.
- Create a new nonagricultural hazardous occupation order that would prohibit employing children under the age of 18 in all work performed in conjunction with storing, marketing, and transporting farm-product raw materials. Both the WHD and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are conducting initiatives within the grain storage industry to reduce injuries and deaths. Occupational injury and fatality rates are very high in the farm-product raw material wholesale trade industry.8 In the last two years, the Department has investigated cases involving: (1) the deaths of three young workers employed in two different grain storage facilities; (2) the serious injuries of two youth who each lost a leg to a power-driven auger while working in a grain elevator; and (3) the serious injury of a 14-year-old girl who was stampeded by a calf at a livestock auction. Under the proposed rule, children under the age of 18 would be prohibited in nonagricultural employment from working in such establishments as country grain elevators, grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feed lots, feed yards, stockyards, livestock exchanges, and livestock auctions. The existing agricultural hazardous occupation orders already prohibit much of this type of work when it is performed by children under the age of 16.
The NPRM also proposes to:
- Increase transparency with respect to the current assessment of civil money penalties for child labor violations. The Department proposed to incorporate the civil money penalty guidance set forth in the Wage and Hour Division Field Assistance Bulletin No. 2010-01, Assessment of Child Labor Civil Money Penalties9 that was issued in January 2010 to address the 2008 amendments to the FLSA that increased the amount of CMPs that can be assessed for a child labor violation that causes the death or serious injury of an employee under the age of 18. The Department believes that the complete transparency of the child labor civil money penalty process will facilitate the administrative assessment and collection of the penalties, increase compliance with the child labor provisions, and reduce occupational injuries and deaths of child workers.
The notice and comment period on this proposed rule, which was extended for an additional 30 days beyond the typical 60-day period, has allowed for significant and robust comment from all of our stakeholders, including many members of Congress. The Department will carefully consider those comments as it develops a final rule. The Department recognizes the unique attributes of farming communities and rural culture and notes that young people often assist neighbors, grandparents, and other relatives on specific tasks. As such, comments and input will be viewed in that light.
Compliance Assistance
WHD does not just rely on enforcement and updating its regulations to achieve and sustain compliance with the nation's child labor laws. WHD has always considered that providing information to employers and employees, including those in the agricultural industry, about their responsibilities and their rights is a critical part of an effective strategy for achieving compliance with the laws we enforce. The Division's staff is available to provide assistance to agricultural employers, whether it is in person, over the phone, by e-mail, to determine whether they are in compliance and what steps they should take to achieve compliance. In the past year, WHD has conducted nearly 900 outreach seminars, conferences, speeches, symposiums, panel discussions, and presentations where the target audience was employers, employer representatives, human resource professionals, and/or employer associations. The WHD also makes extensive and comprehensive guidance in many forms available to all employers and employees on our website (www.dol.gov/whd). This guidance includes fact sheets, field assistance bulletins, e-laws, and opinion letters. In whatever form the guidance takes, the WHD endeavors to find ways to assist employers and employees and to help them understand how the laws the Division enforces apply to their situations.
In recent years, WHD's multi-faceted approach to compliance with child labor laws has made a real difference. In 2009, WHD embarked on an enforcement initiative in the blueberry fields of North Carolina, New Jersey, and Michigan. When the harvest began, WHD investigators equipped with the necessary language skills were in the fields. As blueberry crews moved from one state to the next, WHD offices in those states shared information and investigators so that they followed the harvest to ensure the violations found and mitigated in one area did not resurface in another. Additionally, WHD investigators visited the farms at different times of the day, including in the early morning hours and on weekends, to monitor and ensure compliance with the wage and child labor provisions of the FLSA and the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act.
As a result of these investigations, WHD found significant child labor and other labor-related violations. In addition to assessing penalties, however, WHD took a comprehensive approach to ending the dangerous practices it had uncovered. Our staff met with employer associations, farm groups, community organizations, and state and local agencies to be sure that employers understood their obligations and workers understood their rights. When WHD went back into the blueberry fields in 2010, there were no children working unlawfully in those fields.
In conclusion, one of the Department of Labor's highest priorities is to ensure that children are protected from illegal employment in prohibited hazardous occupations, and that those who are eligible to work have safe and appropriate work experiences. Children working in agriculture are permitted to do more work at younger ages than children working in other industries, they suffer more fatalities than they do in nonagricultural industries, and their work-related injuries tend to be more severe than injuries to children working in nonagricultural industries.10 For these reasons, through enforcement, regulation, and outreach, the WHD is committed to obtaining, maintaining, and sustaining compliance with our nation's agricultural child labor laws.
1The National Safety Council ranks agriculture as our nation's most dangerous industry with 28.6 deaths per 100,000 adult workers (Injury Facts 2009 Edition, available at www.nsc.org). For youth 15 to 24, the rate is 21.3 deaths per 100,000 full time workers.

3See the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries at http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshcfoi1.htm."
5The FLSA's "parental exemption" to the child labor provisions applies both to parents and persons standing in the place of parents. In the interest of clarity, this testimony will refer to both as "parents".
6"Small" farm means any farm that did not use more than 500 "man-days" of agricultural labor in any calendar quarter (3-month period) during the preceding calendar year. "Man-day" means any day during which an employee works at least one hour.
7This is in addition to three separate meetings the Department held in March 2003 (one each with the researchers, advocates, and employers) after the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health ("NIOSH") report was released.

By Mary Beth Breckenridge Akron Beacon Journal
Ross Chapin is re-envisioning the neighborhood.
Chapin, an architect from Whidbey Island, wants to bring back a stronger sense of community to the places where we live.
He's doing that by promoting what he calls pocket neighborhoods, small clusters of homes that share a common green space and are designed to promote interaction.
Chapin believes people are longing for simpler lives with more interpersonal connection. It's the kind of existence he knew growing up in a cottage on a Minnesota lakeshore, in a neighborhood steeped in what he called "porch culture" — a culture where people had reason to venture outside their homes, where kids could roam and where neighbors interacted on a regular basis.
Yet since the middle of the 20th century, homes and neighborhoods have gotten bigger, communities have been designed to accommodate cars instead of pedestrians, and living spaces have become oriented toward the rear of the house and the backyard.
Americans have been sold on the need for privacy, Chapin said, and community has suffered as a result.
Chapin thinks a hunger exists for a better balance. "How do we live smaller, live smarter and live together?" he asked rhetorically.
He's sought to achieve that by designing or developing pocket neighborhoods around the country. For the past 10 years he worked with Seattle developers Jim Soules and Linda Pruitt to build six pocket neighborhoods, and he's designed dozens more around the country.
Chapin has written a book on the subject, "Pocket Neighborhoods: Creating Small Scale Community in a Large Scale World." He also has a website, www.pocket-neighborhoods.net.
The purpose of a pocket neighborhood is to put a dozen or so households in close proximity and give the residents an incentive to interact daily. It's not a commune, but more like a cozy block.
The size of the neighborhood is important, Chapin said. He recommends eight to 12 households, enough to create a lively, diverse cluster, but not so many that neighborliness is lost.
Shared space is another key element, such as joined yards, a garden courtyard or a pedestrian street. It's a place where kids can play, where neighbors might share a community garden or picnic, and where residents spend time or pass through regularly, Chapin said.
Chapin's pocket neighborhoods have some other distinctive features: He turns the houses around so their fronts face the shared space. Also he incorporates larger front porches, and he advocates having common gardens and buildings, such as a shed to house shared lawn and garden tools or a multipurpose room for community potlucks and gatherings.
Smaller homes also encourage more outside living.
He prefers to create a parking area away from the houses, requiring the neighbors to walk through the common area.
Another option, he said, might be a lane leading to attached garages that are shielded from the common area.
Even though pocket neighborhoods promote interaction, Chapin still emphasizes the importance of privacy. He designs and orients houses so the residents can't look out their windows into their neighbors' houses.
The benefits to pocket neighborhoods are many, Chapin said. As neighbors become closer, they help and watch out for one another. Security is enhanced, because unfamiliar people in the common space are more likely to be noticed. And children in the neighborhood have lots of adults involved in their lives, as well as a safe area to play and explore the outdoors.
While Chapin's neighborhoods are built from the ground up, the pocket neighborhood concept can translate to existing neighborhoods, he said. Neighbors might remove fences to create a shared yard where children can play, for example, or they might reclaim an alley as a gathering space.

Doctor's Best Best Vitamin D3 is beneficial for supporting bone health, immune wellness, cardio- vascular function, and cellular metabolism, among others. Mounting research is highlighting the ever-increasing benefits of optimal vitamin D3 status. Vitamin D3 is known to interact with over 200 different genes and thus plays a crucial regulatory role as a metabolic activator for a multitude of metabolic processes. Science-based nutrition Dietary supplement Vitamin D from dietary intake or sun exposure requires two activation steps in the body. The first activation occurs in the liver, while the second activation occurs in the kidneys, allowing for regulation of calcium metabolism. However, vitamin D receptors are present throughout the body, in tissue such as the skin, cartilage, heart, prostate, bones and intestines. Thus, the second activation step also takes place in local tissues. Recent discoveries have highlighted the important modulatory effects of vitamin D on various cells of the immune system. Vitamin D enhances and regulates immune functionStudies show that vitamin D has important immunomodulatory effects. It is known that various cells of the immune system, such as T lymphocytes and antigen presenting cells, express the vitamin D receptor on their surface when activated. Recently, it has been found that treatment of these immune cells with vitamin D influences their expression of cytokines, which are chemical messengers of the immune system. The immune modulating effects of vitamin D extend to monocytes and dendritic cells of the immune system as well. Dendritic cells are important antigen-processing cells of the immune system that function to initiate the immune response. By altering the cytokine expression of dendritic cells, vitamin D may prevent overactivity of the immune response and keep the immune system in a normal healthy state of vigilance. Vitamin D supports optimal cardiovascular functionResearch has uncovered the role vitamin D plays in supporting cardiac function. Heart myocytes (cells) express the vitamin D receptor, as do smooth muscle cells of blood vessels. The benefits of vitamin D on the heart are potentially far-reaching. Studies on mice heart cells have shown that vitamin D administration impacts their growth and proliferation. In these cells, vitamin D inhibited the release of a protein that could be detrimental to the function of these cells, displaying cardioprotective properties. It has also been shown that vitamin D has a modulatory effect on heart rhythm. Again, in mouse heart cells, knocking out the effects of the vitamin D receptors led to an increased rate of contraction and relaxation. In normal mouse cardiac myocytes, administration of vitamin D led to normalization of heart contractility. Further studies in mice have led researchers to conclude that vitamin D supports the overall structure and function of the heart in terms of shape, size and performance. Studies in humans have confirmed the importance of vitamin D for heart function. In a study consisting of 1,739 participants from the Framingham Offspring Study, those individuals with the highest levels of vitamin D had superior cardiac function in relation to those with low vitamin D levels. These results make sense when taken in context of the overall effects of low vitamin D. These effects include an imbalance in the immune production of inflammatory markers, disturbing the normal inflammatory response and leading to potential effects on all tissues, including the heart and blood vessels. Restoration of optimal vitamin D status supports a healthy, normal inflammatory response and may thus restore the optimal health of the heart and cardiovascular system. Furthermore, recent research highlights the profound benefits of vitamin D sufficiency in the realm of markers of cardiovascular wellness. Studies have previously shown that vitamin D supplementation has no effect on weight loss. However a recent study conducted in 200 healthy overweight individuals has shown that vitamin D supplementation can enhance the cardiovascular benefits associated with weight loss. The individuals participating in a 12-month weight reduction program were divided into two groups – one received placebo while the other group received supplemental vitamin D on a daily basis. At the end of the study, it was found that neither placebo nor vitamin D had a measurable effect on weight loss, as both groups lost similar amounts of weight. However, cardiovascular markers and blood lipid markers significantly improved in the vitamin D group, indicating enhanced cardiovascular support with vitamin D supplementation. A further way in which vitamin D may influence the health of the cardiovascular system is through its potential blood pressure regulatory effect. While the mechanism of vitamin D's effect on blood pressure regulation is unclear, it is known that vitamin D regulates calcium balance, supports endothelial function, activates gene transcription, and influences the sodium-potassium balance and aldosterone system in the kidneys. It is likely that vitamin D exerts its blood pressure regulatory effect in one or more of these ways. A study was conducted to assess the effects of vitamin D status on blood pressure. In this study, data from the Third US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was used to determine the association of blood pressure levels with vitamin D status in healthy individuals. The results of this study, which included data from 12,644 people, showed that those individuals with the highest vitamin D status had an increased ability to maintain their blood pressure levels in the normal range. By supporting blood pressure levels within a range that is already normal, vitamin D promotes the health and wellness of the cardiovascular system. Vitamin D supports healthy bone density and structureThe role of vitamin D for bone health (alongside that of calcium) has been well-characterized in published literature. Vitamin D is obviously required for optimal calcium absorption. Recent studies have shown that possibly a majority of women with bone health issues have low levels of vitamin D. In some studies, this number is well over 60%. One such study found that out of a total of 2,606 postmenopausal women assessed, more than 64% had levels of vitamin D of less than 30 ng/mL (measured as serum levels of 25(OH) D, a common blood measure of vitamin D sufficiency). These authors state that, according to a recent review article, the optimal vitamin D levels as measured by 25(OH) D are between 50 and 80 ng/mL. Thus, levels near 30 ng/mL are significantly below those considered optimal. An interesting study was performed recently in Finland in which 212 adolescent females were divided into three groups – a placebo group receiving no vitamin D, a low-dose vitamin D group (200 IU per day) and a higher dose vitamin D group (400 IU per day). The study aimed to measure the effects of vitamin D intake on bone mineral density in these young healthy females who also had adequate calcium status. At the end of the one year study, both vitamin D groups had significant improvements in bone density measured at the femur bone, whereas the 400 IU group also had significantly higher mineral density at the lumbar spine. These findings indicate the importance of vitamin D in bone structure and formation and also indicate the role of vitamin D in bone health independent of calcium intake. Vitamin D promotes healthy aging by enhancing cellular functionGiven its role as a promoter of gene expression, vitamin D affects numerous systems throughout the body. Research unmistakably shows that vitamin D is also a regulator of cellular health and wellness. Aged, unhealthy cells tend to lose their ability to differentiate and perform their original intended function due to the cumulative effects of oxidative damage. Vitamin D, acting as a pro-hormone, promotes the ability of cells to maintain their normal life cycle of birth, differentiation, functional performance and death, when they have become overly damaged. Damaged cells can lead to damaged tissue function. By promoting the normal cell cycle, vitamin D ensures the progression of cells through their functionality and their healthy renewal.

You need to make some clarity with your sentencing..
What do you exactly mean by that? you can't get dualboot on sdhc? If that's the case you can make BT3b install onto sdhc and then install windows on the ssd. You then reconfigure lilo/grub to make sure dualboot works. Also you need to set which device has boot priority, I suggest the sdhc and you put either lilo or grub on that partition.I have gotten both OSes to work when on the ssd, but niether of them on the sdhc (I have gotten the live BT3 to work on the sdhc).

Did a search for "epoxy surfboard" on ebay and found hundreds of boards in all shapes and sizes ranging from $200-$500 which is of course much less than you see in the shops. I know they are china boards which I could care less about, but for your average surfer can you really tell the difference between riding say an ebay-style $400 epoxy board like this:
Versus a more expensive "brand name" stick from the local shop? Any thoughts?

As a somewhat humorous aside, we received one of these emails addressed to "Dear Sales" (email address: sales@lottery) informing us that we were one of six lucky winners of £2.5 million. The scammer had, however, used CC in their email instead of BCC and you could see that the same email had been sent to several hundred people all with email addresses beginning with the letter "s"!
Anyone else getting bombarded with spam for:* Doctorate degrees* Kitchen cabinets* Used carsOr am I just that special?
I can't stand all the times I walk near a smoking area, though, minding my own business, and some stranger comes up and asks me for a lighter. Come on, you can support your cigarette habit and always make sure you have smokes on you, but you can't keep track of a lighter? Really?
We've been getting collection calls on our phone (number we've had for a long time, so unlikely to be a person who used to have the number). I can't think of any bill we have that could have gone to collections, so I'm hoping it's a scam (rather than something that we have totally missed). I haven't managed to pick up on any calls yet, though, so we'll see.
Not really a scam, either, but I hate the envelopes from the cable company that say "Important Account Information" where the contents are just advertisements.

It's the end of an era, to be sure, and the "Parks and Recreation" team is going out with a futuristic bang. The first trailer for the hit NBC series' final season follows Leslie Knope, Tom Haverford ( Aziz Ansari), Ron Swanson and the rest of the gang into the year 2017 to see how things have turned out.
It's sure to be one of the hottest date movies of the summer, and last night (July 10) the stars of "Sex Tape" showed up at the Los Angeles premiere.
Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz both looked to be in good spirits as they greeted fans outside the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood ahead of the screening.
He's been enjoying some quality time with his family at their vacation house in Grasse, France, but things took a turn toward tragedy for Rob Lowe when torrential storms caused flash flooding.
The 50-year-old "Sex Tape" star posted photos to his Instagram account of the whole ordeal, along with the caption, "This is right outside the house. Was twice as high at the worst, just before sunrise."
Showing some love for their Spanish fans, Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel attended a photocall for their new film "Sex Tap" in Barcelona on Wednesday (June 18).
Also joined by Rob Lowe, the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" hunk and the "Vanilla Sky" vixen were in good spirits as they posed for photos ahead of the big premiere.
He's been through the teen heartthrob phase and came out on the other end as a successful star so Rob Lowe knows what Justin Bieber is going through these days.
The "Parks and Recreation" stud sat down with Oprah Winfrey to discuss the tension of Bieber's life as an artist and idol.
It's becoming one of his hottest regular segments, and the sixth installment of Mean Tweets was hilarious on " Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night (February 6).
George Clooney read, "I'm very much looking forward to the day when the world stops sucking George Clooney's t**t. Lumpy-faced basterd."
Over the years, Ann Perkins and Chris Traeger have become beloved members of the "Parks and Recreation" family, so it will be heartbreaking when cast members Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe say farewell on January 30th.
The forthcoming episode, titled "Ann and Chris," promises to give the departing characters a worthy send-off, though NBC hasn't revealed what's in store.
Stepping off the set of his hit television series "Parks and Recreations," Rob Lowe scored the cover spot of Manhattan magazine's Philanthropy issue.

USC geographer recreates Louisiana hurricane of 1812
Nearly 200 years before Hurricane Katrina, a major storm hit the coast of Louisiana just west of New Orleans. Because the War of 1812 was simultaneously raging, the hurricane's strength, direction and other historically significant details were quickly forgotten or never recorded.
But a University of South Carolina geographer has reconstructed the storm, using maritime records, and has uncovered new information about its intensity, how it was formed and the track it took.
Dr. Cary Mock's account of the "Great Louisiana Hurricane of 1812" appears in the current issue of the Journal of the American Meteorological Society, a top journal for meteorological research.
"It was a lost event, dwarfed by history itself," said Mock, an associate professor in the College of Arts and Sciences. "Louisiana was just in possession by the United States at the time, having been purchased from France only years before, and was isolated from the press."
Mock says historians have long known that a hurricane hit New Orleans on Aug. 19, 1812, but they didn't know the meteorological details about the storm.
"Hurricane Katrina is not the worst-case scenario for New Orleans, as its strongest winds were over water east of the eye," said Mock. "The 1812 hurricane was the closest to the city, passing just to the west. It wasn't as big as Katrina, but it was stronger at landfall, probably a mid-three or four category hurricane in terms of winds."
Detailed information about past hurricanes is critical to helping climatologists today forecast and track hurricanes. But until recently, little was known of hurricanes that occurred before the late 19th century, when weather instrumentation and record keeping became more sophisticated and standardized. Mock's research has shed light on much of the nation's hurricane history that has remained hidden for centuries.

There appears to be a problem currently affecting PSpell functionality on Windows machines.
Currently, the compiled build of PHP5 for Windows does not by default include PSpell, and to activate these functions the Windows user has to (a) install GNU ASpell; (b) copy the file aspell-15.dll to a directory in the Windows "Path" statement (typically C:\Windows\System32); (c) install one or more ASpell dictionaries; (d) enable the PSpell extension to PHP by adding a reference to php_pspell.dll in the php.ini file, and moving the file itself to the main PHP directory.
However, when this has all been done and PSpell appears to have been fully activated, there remains a problem. While all the PSpell functions work as specified when referenced from the "main" body of PHP code, if they are placed within a PHP function, the system reports that it is unable to find any word lists for the specified dictionary (whichever one is chosen).
I have a sample of PSpell-using code (taken from the SAMS book PHP 5 In Practice) which works perfectly on a Unix-based Web Server, but which fails with the indicated error message on a range of Windows machines.

Report says northeast temperatures rising
Thursday, 06/18/09
John Dillon
A White House report on climate change says two of Vermont's iconic industries are in trouble: winter sports and maple sugaring. As winters get warmer, the New England forest will change. And if greenhouse gas emissions stay high, the study warns that the prime area for maple production will shift north into Canada.

why don't you try wicd to connect automatically and more easy way
type in console wicd
then go to the menu > internet > wicd
click search and choose your router, also choose properties to configure the security and connect to it
Hi there!
I am having trouble connecting to my network when I enable WPA2-PSK. My configuration is as follows.
I have a D-Link DWA-552 Wireless NIC in my computer.
I have installed BT4 to my hard drive.
I configured my /etc/network/interfaces as follows:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.28.115
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.28.0
broadcast 192.168.28.255
gateway 192.168.28.1
wireless-essid *****
pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
I have configured my wpa_supplicant.conf as follows:
When I run /etc/init.d/networking start everything starts without errors and says done.
When I run iwconfig I get the following:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"*****"
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr: off Fragment thr: off
Encryption key: off
Power Management: off
The loopback IP works fine but I cannot ping anything including my router.
I can't wire my computer directly to my router as I do not have access to it.
I am new to BT but am somewhat familiar with Linux. I would appreciate any and all help.
why don't you try wicd to connect automatically and more easy way
type in console wicd
then go to the menu > internet > wicd
click search and choose your router, also choose properties to configure the security and connect to it
---> 3v3RY D4y P4ss3S 1 f0uNd N3W th1NGs <---
Knowing how 2 use BT dsnt mean that u r hacker
First of all check out ;
Then have a look at an example wpa_supplicant.conf that may be used to
connect to a network ;
Code:ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 ap_scan=1 network={ scan_ssid=1 ssid="********" proto=RSN key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=TKIP CCMP group=TKIP psk="************" }
Let us know what works for you so this post is of value to others.
When starting the wpa_supplicant, I use the following ;
You could also include the -B switch to keep the konsole 'free' afterwards ;Code:wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /location/of/wpa_supplicant.conf
And of course then to get an IP, either in a seperate console or in the same one if you use the -B switch before ;Code:wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /location/of/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
Code:dhclient wlan0

Allstate Sugar Bowl to Sponsor Class 5A Region III Tennis Tournament
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
The Allstate Sugar Bowl will sponsor the 2010 Louisiana High School Athletic Association Class 5A Region III Tennis Tournament this Wednesday and Thursday at the University of New Orleans Tennis Courts (6500 Press Dr.). It is the second year that the Sugar Bowl has sponsored the event which crowns the region's top boys and girls tennis teams and individuals. The region consists of teams from the Bayou region of Louisiana and the South-shore Metro New Orleans area.
Action begins on Wednesday at 9 a.m. with quarterfinal matches slated for approximately 3:30 p.m. Thursday action continues at 9 a.m. with championship matches expected to start at noon.
On the boys' side, Jesuit is favored to repeat as regional champion with Assumption, Brother Martin and Rummel expected to push the Blue Jays. Rummel standout Brock Turnbull returns to defend the boys singles title. However, Zach Marroy, from Assumption, was a semifinalist last year and will be eyeing the singles title. Jesuit is led by standout freshman Hobie Hotard while Joshua Marx will be Brother Martin's top singles player. The top boys doubles teams this year include Michael Ourso and Jonathan Comeaux (Assumption), Andrew Crespo and Taylor LeBon (Brother Martin), Paul Mickan and Taylor Smith (Jesuit), Theo Kennedy and Dylan Kennedy (Jesuit), Jeffery Gasser and Mario Sanchez (Rummel), and Trevor Lew and James Sampognaro (Jesuit).
In the girls' draw, Mount Carmel and Assumption High are the favored teams in the regional tournament. Mount Carmel is led by defending champion Ellen Edwards, with her top competition expected to come from Paige Blanchard (Assumption), Connor Murphy (Mount Carmel) and Kaylyn Blosser (Dominican). Mount Carmel also has the returning doubles champions in Meghan de Baroncelli and Gabrielle Roe. That duo will have to fend off bids by teammates Janie Lester and Annie Lavie, as well as Allison Gravios and Ainsly Crochet (Assumption), Savina Nguyen and Caroline Nelson (Dominican), Michelle Bordes and Claire Jensen (Chapelle), and Katie Blanchard and Brooke Landry (Assumption).
In last year's action, Jesuit earned the boys championship while Mount Carmel collected the girls crown. The Blue Jays won the boys' crown with a victory over Archbishop Rummel, while Mount Carmel upended Assumption.
In individual action, Rummel's Brock Turnbull took home the boys' championship with a win over Taylor Smith from Jesuit, while Mount Carmel's Ellen Edwards held off Indi Mire from Thibodaux for the girls' singles title. In boys' doubles action, Jordan Ezell and Gerard Suhor from Jesuit captured the championship over Stephen Joubert and Cameron Nodier from Brother Martin. Mount Carmel also registered the girls' doubles championship as Meghan deBaroncelli and Gabrielle Roe defeated Erin Hebert and Paige Blanchard from Assumption in the finals.
