We got a good number of calls and emails on last week's column, particularly with regard to the essential role that volunteers play in our community.
Without the volunteers manning the various boards and commissions, the workings of government at all levels would grind to a halt. Without volunteers, the animal rescue shelters wouldn't be able to do a tenth of the good work they do.
The many service groups, from Rotary and Lions to the United Way, all depend on the generosity of community-spirited folks to give of that which we value most - our time.
One of those public-spirited folks who has, over the years, volunteered much time and been extremely effective in protecting and preserving our waterways is my good friend and neighbor, Wes Jones.
In fact, Wes and I were at the latest meeting of the Blue Ribbon Committee on Shoreline Change in Charleston recently. Our committee, chaired by Wes Jones, is very close to issuing a report that will help guide the state's efforts to effectively and fairly manage the shorelines of South Carolina.
From a historical perspective, you can draw a straight line from our task today on the Blue Ribbon Committee to the work of the SC Coastal Council (now SCDHEC-SCOCRM) which was, incidentally, chaired by our own Wes Jones, some 20 years ago.
The charge then, as now, is to use the best science, harnessed to the best engineering practices, to protect the waters and the adjacent lands that are so critical to the quality of life and economic viability of our state.
You might have heard that DHEC has recently reopened a significant portion of the May River that had been closed to oyster harvesting. It comes as no surprise that the chairman of the town of Bluffton committee that labored several years to identify and implement ways to return the status of the river to the shellfish standard was, of course, Wes Jones.
On a different but related topic, the Historic Bluffton Arts and Seafood Festival is nearing the halfway point. We had a great kickoff Sunday with the Friends of Bluffton Artists Showcase, featuring my buddy Kelly Graham, followed by the Blessing of the Fleet and finishing with the first official oyster roast of the season at Larry and Tina Toomer's Bluffton Oyster Company. The weather was perfect and there were a ton of folks for each event.
Once again, volunteers get it done.
Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. is family night at the Promenade, and it's going to be the coolest thing yet. Miss Judy and Miss Paula at Booksalicious are going to be reading undersea books and telling great stories for kids of all ages. Parrott Cove Ice Cream Café has specials, but they had me at "ice cream." There will be art and nature projects, sidewalk chalk drawing, and if that wasn't almost too much, there will be a family movie shown in the park.
So bring some folding chairs or blankets, get some ice cream and sprinkles from Parrot Cove, and have a large portion of fun.
As a side note, I heard that there may be some pirates in the area, so watch out and be prepared to protect your ice cream.
Next week: My take on Beaufort County's land preservation program and why it's one of the best in the country.
Bill Herbkersman, R-Bluffton, represents District 118 in the South Carolina House of Representatives. He can be reached through his website at www.herbkersman.com or by telephone at 757-7900.

To keep your child safe during a
breath-holding spell:
Your child may stop breathing for up to 1 minute (60 seconds) during a spell. If your child doesn't wake up quickly
and start breathing again, call 911 or other emergency services. The 911 operator may tell you to give your
child rescue breaths while you wait for help to arrive.

What is a NOM List?
The Norma Oficial Mexicana (Official Mexican Standard), abbreviated NOM, is the name of each of a series of official, compulsory standards and regulations for diverse activities in Mexico. They are more commonly referred to as NOMs or normas.
The standards are prepared by the Dirección General de Normas (DGN) (General Directorate of Standards), which is the body representing Mexico in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
In the case of tequila, Mexico's Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT) regulates production NOMs. The NOM identifier means the tequila meets government standards – but this is not any guarantee of tequila's quality. However, without the NOM stamp of legitimacy, it is not guaranteed that the bottle contains tequila.
All 100% agave tequilas must have a NOM identifier on the bottle. The important laws since 1990 were NOM-006-SCFI-1993 and the later update NOM-006-SCFI-1994 revised in late 2005 NOM-006-SCFI-2005 and the most recent revision in 2012 NOM-006-SCFI-2012.
The number after NOM is the distillery number, assigned by the government. NOM does not indicate the location of the distillery, merely the parent company or – in the case where a company leases space in a plant – the physical plant where the tequila was manufactured. (Source: Wikipedia)

[media-credit name="Liane Hentscher/FOX" align="alignright" width="270″][/media-credit]
Lots of buzz about "Fringe" and its future on Fox: will it go away? should it go away?
When the clever but ratings-weak series makes its return Friday, at 8 p.m. on KDVR-Channel 31, Peter goes in search of Walternate for a big confrontation in the alt-universe.
The fan base is particularly loyal. But even as a fan, I'm starting to think the series has outlived its usefulness. Fox execs studying the bottom line have their own reason to doubt a future for Anna Torv, John Noble and Joshua Jackson — as Olivia, Walter and Peter — in prime time, let alone parallel universes.
The network this week hinted at the show's impending demise: the low-rated "Fringe" loses money, and "we're not in the business of losing money," Fox Entertainment chief Kevin Reilly told critics in Los Angeles.
The future of Fox's "Terra Nova," "House" and "Bones" is also uncertain.
There would be major cost-cutting if there were to be a fifth and final season of "Fringe," but don't count on it.

Hi all, i can't reproduce ticket CVE-2013-4854 with above description. Please help me to reproduce this bug. Thanks all !
Our policy is to provide publicly enough information for an organization to determine whether or not they might be vulnerable to a defect reported in a security advisory, but at the same time to avoid making available a recipe from which to exploit the vulnerability. We are therefore unable to give you any more information other than the details reported here and in the associated FAQ article, and the source code tarball that we recommend as the fix for the issue.
We do also work more closely with our OEM partners and some of our subscription customers to help them determine specifically the risks to their production environments.

Thank you for asking - but we will not be assigning CWE labels at this time.
Thank you for your question. The patched versions of BIND are available directly from our website isc.org. We do not ordinarily provide separate patches with the public announcement of a security issue; instead we offer full replacement versions of BIND for download.
You didn't overlook how to download the signatures - the links to the signatures were not originally directly accessible from the downloads page on the isc.org website. We've updated the website so you should now see links to the signatures too when downloading the BIND tarball. Thanks for the feedback!

Description: Journeyman Smith David Lisch created this exceptional chef's knife. The 9-3/4 inch long damascus blade is a mosaic pattern that he calls Pinwheel. The steel is highly complex and immediately grabs attention. The blade is forged to shape, resulting in optimal grain pattern and durability. Showing his tremendous skill at the forge, the bolster is integral. Though this technique is regularly done in production knives, forging an integral bolster in a custom setting is extremely difficult and shows the maker's skill at its best. The blade is slightly heavier than most Japanese blades, but lighter than their German counterparts -- a nice balance between performance and strength.
The handle scales are formed from presentation grade Arizona desert ironwood. It swells at the palm and toward the pommel for a comfortable grip. The distal tapered tang is particularly hard to fit to the wooden scales and David has accomplished this perfectly!
David is clearly a maker to watch for his culinary knives!

Reading this post by Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit leaves me scratching my head. He uses a famously faked picture of John Kerry and Jane Fonda, which is bad enough, but the real question is, why? The picture has absolutely nothing to do with the article he links to, which is about America's outdated highway system. Here's the picture:
And the Snopes article about it, which shows the original images that were merged for the fake result. But again, the question is why? The article he links to and quotes is about baby boomers supposedly sticking younger generations with the bill for an aging transportation infrastructure that needs to be updated. And it concludes with this question:
Are the boomers just incompetent narcissists, or are they the worst generation in American history?
But neither Fonda nor Kerry are baby boomers. Both were born before the end of World War 2 (and Fonda before it even started). And even if they were baby boomers, using that picture would make no sense at all. Does he think that our crumbling infrastructure is due to Vietnam War protests? WTF?

Mount faculty are invited to a CDI lecture by
Sister Laurie Brink, OP, PhD.
Teaching as a Contemplative Act
This conversation proposes that the Dominican motto,
contemplare et contemplata aliis tradere, is not an
antiquarian object of study, but an active process of engagement,
foundational to our lives as teachers and scholars. This
conversation will explore teaching as a creative act, the
embodiment of the teacher, and teaching as a contemplative
experience, in order to demonstrate the compatibility of the
academic endeavor and the Dominican pursuit of truth.

cultural world out of which early Christianity emerged. Having
worked as a senior staff member for the Combined Caesarea
Expedition in Israel, she seeks to integrate archaeological
research and biblical exegesis. She has directed an
interdisciplinary project in which scholars of Roman history,
archaeology, Early Christianity, and Jewish Studies investigated
ancient burial practices and the emergence of identifiable
Christian practices. She is an associate editor of The Bible
Today, and has recorded two lecture series (Acts of the
Apostles and Philippians) for Now You Know Media. Her publications

37 killed, 15 hurt as bus falls in river in Maharashtra
In one of the worst road accidents in the state, 37 people were killed and 15 others were injured when a Mumbai-bound private bus coming from Goa ran off a bridge and plunged 40 feet below into the Jagbudi river at Khed, Ratnagiri, early on Tuesday. HT reports.delhi Updated: Mar 20, 2013 01:54 IST
In one of the worst road accidents in the state, 37 people, many of them Mumbaiites, were killed and 15 others, including the driver, were injured when a Mumbai-bound private bus coming from Goa ran off a bridge and plunged 40 feet below into the Jagbudi river at Khed, Ratnagiri, early on Tuesday.
Preliminary investigations suggest the accident took place after the driver, Santaji Kailash Kirdat, 36, fell asleep at the wheel, said Nandkumar Thakur, additional superintendent of police, Ratnagiri.
The mishap took place at 3.30am on the Mumbai-Goa highway (NH17), which is more prone to accidents than other state highways, according to traffic authorities.
Last year, 193 people were killed and 1,290 others injured in the 1,117 accidents reported on NH17.
"The driver claims he lost control when a tempo suddenly came in front of the bus on the bridge. The bridge is narrow and only one vehicle can pass at a time," Thakur said.
The police have registered a case against driver Kirdat and collected his blood samples to ascertain if he had been drinking and driving.
Kirdat has a valid driving licence, which was issued in 1995, and the bus, which belongs to Mahakali Travels, has a valid all-India tourist permit, officials said.
"I felt a jolt and woke up. The next moment I found myself stuck between the seats.
The bus was upside down in the river and it was pitch dark. A few of us started to shout for help and somebody called the police control room. I struggled for 20 minutes before I managed to free myself," said Vashisht Soni, 23, who has been admitted in a city hospital with several injuries.
"Three cranes were used to rescue those trapped inside the bus. Seven of the injured are out of danger, and the remaining eight have been shifted to hospitals in Mumbai, Kolhapur and other places," said Rajiv Jadhav, collector of Ratnagiri.
The highway was shut for traffic until 7.30am as rescue operations were underway.
By Tuesday night, 31 of the 37 bodies had been identified and handed over to families.
The accident occurred a day after the state government gave out grim statistics of deaths and injuries on the Mumbai-Goa highway.
The state has announced a compensation of Rs.2 lakh each to the kin of the deceased and Rs.50,000 to those who got injured in the accident.

Ron Guth: In 1859, the Half Dime mintage fell dramatically to less than a tenth of the year before. In spite of its rather low mintage, the 1859 Half Dime remains affordable in most grades. One might say it is an excellent value in all grades. To make this date even more accessible, a mini-hoard of just over a dozen high-grade examples appeared on the market in 2012. Nothing less than an MS67 appeared in this lot, and two of the coins earned the remarkable grade of MS68+ at PCGS.

At the Derek Jeter Center at Phoenix House in Tampa, Fla., the doors are always open to welcome adolescents as they begin their journey to recovery. The Center provides comprehensive outpatient services for adolescents and helps families deal with adolescent substance abuse and co-occurring mental health issues. Teens confront the underlying causes of their substance abuse and regain control of their lives by establishing sobriety and building support networks to help sustain recovery.
"Working with the counselors at Derek Jeter Center, I've been able to change myself in more ways than I thought possible."
The Derek Jeter Center at Phoenix House is a multiservice treatment center serving youth with comprehensive outpatient programs, including treatment and counseling. Since its founding in 2007, treatment capacity has tripled. Today the Center serves more than 1,000 adolescents annually and has helped more than 2,700 boys and girls overcome substance abuse, transform their lives and pursue their dreams and goals personally, academically and professionally.
Outpatient Services: Phoenix House adolescent programs provide treatment in a safe, supportive environment that gives youth and their families a chance to break free from substance abuse. Teaching adolescents how to regain control of their lives is the essence of Phoenix House's adolescent treatment programs.
Our outpatient services for teens include both intensive (nine-plus hours a week) and traditional (fewer than nine hours a week) options. Both provide individually tailored treatment plans that emphasize family education and encourage the development of community supports for continued success after discharge. The Derek Jeter Center provides a range of services: comprehensive assessment; individual, group and family counseling; psycho-educational therapy groups; case management; life-skills education; drug testing; and recreational activities that teach young people ways to have fun while sober. Clients take part in after-school sessions from one day to five days a week, enjoying ongoing engagement and positive activities with an appropriate support group.
Phoenix House substance abuse education and prevention programs bring research-based curricula into schools and other community sites to highlight the dangers of drug use, reinforce positive self-esteem and empower youth to make positive choices. Drug and alcohol problems affect entire families, and recovery is a family process. At Phoenix House, family members are involved in all phases of the continuum of care, including counseling and therapy, parent/family education seminars and educational workshops.
"Going to the Derek Jeter Center helped me get my mother's trust back."
Meet Rebecca: Treatment works! Rebecca is a wonderful young girl who turned her life around at Phoenix Houses of Florida's Derek Jeter Center.
Rebecca comes from a great family. Her parents are loving and supportive, and she has a good relationship with her older sister. Although Rebecca has needed daily insulin since she was five years old to treat her diabetes, she managed to live a normal, active life -- until she started smoking marijuana in her early teens. Marijuana soon led to opiate abuse, an epidemic problem in Florida, and her drug abuse became a source of serious family conflict.
When she was 14 years old, Rebecca's addiction landed her in Juvenile Court. But that proved to be a blessing in disguise, as the court referred her to Phoenix House. While receiving outpatient treatment at the Derek Jeter Center, Rebecca was able to confront the reasons for her substance abuse and become -- and remain -- drug-free. She and her mother attended family counseling sessions together to work on better family communication. This helped Rebecca overcome the anger issues that her new sobriety had alleviated already.
Today Rebecca has a whole new lease on life: she's clean and sober, earning excellent grades in high school and enjoying a much happier relationship with her family. She and her mother have a great time taking yoga classes together, which gives them a wonderful relaxing and bonding experience.
It's a Family Affair: Sometimes an entire family can find a new life at Phoenix House!
Javon was a 16-year-old outpatient client at the Derek Jeter Center at Phoenix House -- a young man whose substance abuse was complicated by problems at school and a family history of addiction. But with the help of Phoenix House's skilled and compassionate counselors, he overcame his substance abuse and went on to graduate from high school, enroll in technical college and learn a skilled trade.
Not too long ago, Javon contacted the Derek Jeter Center again because he was worried about his little sister, Carla. Carla, 15, was showing some of the same behaviors and symptoms of substance abuse that Javon himself used to exhibit. To complicate matters, their mother's drug problem had grown worse and she wasn't exercising any parental control over Carla. But because of Javon's positive experience at the Derek Jeter Center, he was able to convince Carla to at least come in and talk to a counselor. That conversation led to an assessment and, with Javon's support, she entered the program.
Carla's time at Phoenix House included not just treatment but also recovery coaching, which helped her stay strong and committed to sobriety once her treatment was completed. With the help of her big brother and the Derek Jeter Center team, Carla is staying clean and sober and is back on track in school. And the story doesn't end there: after seeing her kids turn their lives around so successfully, Javon and Carla's mother decided to seek treatment for her own drug problems and entered Phoenix House's Adult Outpatient facility in Tampa. While her recovery is still in the early stages, the sensitive and caring treatment she has received -- coupled with the love and support of her kids -- shows every promise of guiding her and her entire family to a healthy, happy future together.

At Phoenix House, each individual is guaranteed the highest quality of care, delivered with professionalism and respect.

Shamrocks edge out former league rival Carson City-Crystal in December finale
The Portland St. Patrick girls basketball team got the job done, especially defensively, for a 50-45 victory over the Carson City-Crystal Eagles Thursday night in non-league girls basketball action.
Courtney Dixon led the Shamrocks with 12 points while Danielle Simon added 10 points.
The Eagles are former members of St. Patrick's league, the CMAC.
St. Patrick improved its record to 6-1 while the Eagles fell to 4-2.
Coach Al Schrauben wanted to see a better effort from his Shamrocks despite the victory.
"I was not real pleased the way we played defensively," he said. "I thought our half-court defense we were slow and never caught up to the ball all night long. There were a few times where we finally bodied up and pressured the ball harder and made it harder for them to throw the pass and then we were all right. We didn't do that nearly enough."
Leading 27-23 entering the third quarter, the Shamrocks were up 34-27 at 4:30 on Jennifer Bosworth's two foul shots. But the Shamrocks missed some key layups that could have extended their lead.
It was 36-32 St. Patrick going into the fourth quarter.
Danielle Simon scored off her own steal to open the fourth to extend the lead, But Carson City-Crystal fought back and Mackenzie Geister's baseliner with 4:30 to play made it a 40-39 game.
Dixon followed with two free throws and a layup to make it a 44-39 Shamrock lead a minute later.
Anne Mackowiak scored off a Shamrock steal and it was 46-39. But Mikayla Duflo netted a triple to keep the Eagles alive.
St. Patrick forced Carson City-Crystal to foul as time was favoring the Shamrocks. Both teams had key turnovers in the final 80 seconds. The Shamrocks missed chances to increase their lead but the Eagles squandered opportunities to cut into it.
Simon netted a free throw with 40 seconds left for a 47-42 lead and the Eagles threw the ball away. Duflo hit a triple to make it a 48-45 with 10 seconds to play, but Simon was fouled and sealed the deal with two free throws.
"It's a good win for us," Schrauben said. "They're a nice ballclub. We have a little more depth than they do. They won the league last year. It was a good win for us for a nonleague game."
"We work really well together when we're smart on our offense," Dixon said. "We had smart defense and played well together."
St. Patrick's full-court pressure was effective in some regards in the first half although not to Schrauben's satisfaction.
Simon and Anna Bosworth both netted triples in the first quarter to lead the Shamrocks to a 12-11 edge. Jennifer Bosworth scored off her own steal midway in the quarter for a 19-14 lead. Tori Goodrich sank a three-pointer moments later and the visitors were up 24-19. It was 27-23 at the break.
The Shamrocks were led by Duflo with 15 points.
"We need to go back to work, shore up our ball skills and make sure we're taking better care of the basketball than we did today," said Eagle coach Larry Farmer. "We turned the ball over too much. We had way too many turnovers. We didn't handle his press well. If we had gotten shots on possessions instead of giving it back to them, we could have pulled it out."
Bosworth added eight points for the winners.
St. Patrick now heads into the holiday break.
"We're working hard together as a team, are staying strong and can go into break happy we're coming out strong," Dixon said.

Three votes sent the Niagara-Wheatfield Board of Education back to calculators to find a tax levy that the residents will live with, and emotions ran high as the next steps were presented to a large gathering of residents on May 22.
After polling the members of the board, President Steven Sabo made a motion to set the tax levy for the second vote at 4.5 percent. The measure passed with one negative vote, that from board member Richard Serianni.
"The vote lost by only three votes, I think if we put up a 5 percent increase it would pass," said Serianni. "We need to encourage people to get out and vote."
The board continued with a motion that will reduce a team of teachers from the middle school, saving approximately $300,000 and reduce support staff across the district, saving $130,000. That motion passed with Serianni voting no.
"It's too deep," said Serianni. "All we have to do is tweak this budget. If we cut teachers, we raise class size; if we cut support staff more evenly than in the past two years that might be doable. But if we single out groups, we are hurting the safety of our kids, and there is no way I can support this budget with these cuts."
Board member Christopher Peters supported the 4.5 percent, saying that the voters turned down the 5.91 percent vote and feels they won't support a 4.9 percent tax increase, the other option put forth.
"We have a tricky situation here," said Peters. "We had a public that voted down this budget, we have a district that hasn't supported this budget, and it's sad that it hasn't been supported. Apparently, some people believe there is all kinds of money sitting in this school district, and it's amazing. This isn't a smoke and mirrors situation."
"We are in dire straits here," he continued. "We have to look at areas that aren't going to hurt the kids as much. ... If we get into music and sports programs, the kids won't want to be in this school and kids won't learn in this school."
Peters then made a statement that caught the audience by surprise and also had them react out loud, which they did periodically throughout the meeting.
"I'm not going to be popular by saying this," said Peters. "The parents in this school district do not care about their kids education."
He explained that the actual society is not showing up for school board votes. He was frustrated with people he talked to who said they didn't have time to vote. "We, the board, need to do something that passes and we need the parents and public to show up and pass the vote," Peters continued. "I don't know if it will pass at 4.5 percent, if it fails and we get zero, you know the consequences - we have no kindergarten, sports or music and we're still short."
Sabo asked if the board wanted to rescind the 4.5 percent increase and go for the 4.9 percent increase, but no one moved to do that.
"I'm not willing to take the gamble with kindergarten if the 4.9 percent doesn't pass," said board member David Breir. "I think the 4.5 percent will pass."
"We sit here as board members expecting the worse and hoping for the best," said Sabo. "The reality is we have to sell the budget to the entire community. I can see the 4.5 passing a lot easier than the 4.9."
In the case of a failed second vote, the school district would go to a contingency budget, which calls for a zero tax levy increase.
Sabo opened the discussion with a motion that full-day kindergarten would not be cut from the budget this year. The vote passed unanimously.
However, in listing the $1.27 million in cuts needed if the district goes to contingency of a zero increase, kindergarten would be cut to half day, saving $181,000; elementary music would be eliminated, saving $123,000; all interscholastic sports would be eliminated, $478,000 saved; music at the middle school would be reduced, and at that point, the staff would still have to find another $487,000 in reductions.
Sabo instructed the administration to find those other cuts by June 15.
Newly elected board member Amy Deull asked if the administrative bonuses given out last year were being given out again this year. Sabo replied that practice had been removed from the policy manual.
"I'm disappointed the budget didn't pass; but encouraged with the educational opportunity that came from having such a close vote, and showing our children how important it is to vote, because it can come down to a single vote," said Dana Andrews.
"But beyond that I don't think there are more than 20 people that know what goes into a budget this big," he continued. "I think the board should look at a way of showing the working process of what goes into the budget and the contingency process showing what you have to cut."
"Now that the budget failed, I hear about cuts but nothing about generating revenue," said Jacob Dullen. "Are we proactive in making revenue?"
Sabo and Peters both explained that the facilities are available to outside organizations at a cost, including community-service organizations that are allowed to use them at no charge.
Another speaker asked about having additional voting locations to encourage voters. It was explained that unlike regular political elections there is one list of voters and that at this time there isn't a way to put that registration list out to several locations at one time.
Interim Superintendent James Knowles reported that he had received a number of calls and emails about voters not being called and reminded of the district budget vote. Knowles explained that this is against education law.
In other business, he reported on the tragic loss of a senior in an automobile accident and two others injured in that accident, also seniors. He explained that the district has a crisis plan in place that includes the notification of staff, bringing staff together to let them know the plan for the day and making counselors available to staff and students.
"We try and make the day as normal as we can," he explained. "That allows the children to get through the day and we continue with the help from that point on."
"We ask you keep the family in your thoughts and prayers," he concluded.
The board officially approved the budget vote and election of board members.
Proposition 1, the 2013-14 budget received 1,598 yes votes and 1,601 negative votes. The budget was defeated.
Proposition 2 to put a student on the Board of Education passed with a 1,855 "yes" vote and 1,107 "no" vote.
Elected to three-year terms on the Board of Education were Lori Pittman with 1,876 votes and Amy Deull with 1,807 votes. Lorna Tilley-Peltier received 1,357 votes.
The board also approved its meeting dates for 2013-14. The next regular school board meeting will be June 5.
The vote on the revised Niagara-Wheatfield school budget will take place Tuesday, June 18, from noon to 8 p.m. at the Adult Learning Center at the Niagara-Wheatfield High School. A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for Tuesday, June 11, at 7 p.m. also in the Adult Learning Center.

Manchester United go into Tuesday's visit to Wigan Athletic leading the Premier League by seven points from defending champions Manchester City, and with van Persie having scored 33 club goals for Arsenal and Ferguson's team in the year 2012.
His last-minute effort in the 2-0 win against West Brom, adding to an early Gareth McAuley own goal, was his 14th Premier League strike since moving to Old Trafford in the close season and his 17th for United in all competitions.
After scoring his goal towards the end of Saturday's game, van Persie revealed a T-shirt bearing the words 'RIP Tchuna', in tribute to a personal friend who had passed away on the eve of the game.
Ferguson certainly appreciated the efforts of his forward and the United manager believes that United are halfway towards completing their goal of wrestling the league title from City's grip.
"He (van Persie) changed the game for us," said Ferguson. "When I brought him and Paul Scholes on, they settled the game down for us.
"It (van Persie's goal) is fantastic. He is a fantastic player. He came on and changed the game for us.
"Every time the ball came up to him, he got hold of it. He turned on them. They were having to go back to their box all the time. He has done well.
"We're in a good position. We're halfway there. We've a game on Tuesday away from home at Wigan and we've got a few players to freshen it up. We'll look forward to the next game and try and win it.
"It's important, though, that we do not sit looking at the league table, admiring our position, positive though it is, because we would soon get a rude awakening.
"Congratulating ourselves on our Premier League lead doesn't mean a thing to me. It's winning the next game that counts."
Given his team's defensive problems of late, Ferguson was arguably even more content with the efforts of his defenders, who kept just their fourth clean sheet of the season in the Premier League.
"We defended their crosses very well," said Ferguson. "They kept pumping it in and we had to make sure we were competing for all the crosses, which we did very well.
"It will be a hard game on Tuesday. Wigan have had a great result today (a 3-0 win at Aston Villa on Saturday).
"Hopefully we can freshen up again. Possibly Phil Jones will be ready. Rafael will be ready. We rested Javier Hernandez today, Ryan (Giggs) and Paul (Scholes). We have enough freshness to bring in on Tuesday."
Steve Clarke, the West Brom manager, was disappointed by the margin of defeat and felt the sodden Old Trafford playing surface - which required two pre-match pitch inspections before being declared playable - did not help his team.
"The scoreline didn't reflect how well we played, particularly in the second half," said Clark.
"The pitch was dreadful and trying to play through the middle was something we got caught out by.
"But you don't look for games to be called off. We used to play on pitches like that all the time. There was no reason to call that game off."
Clarke's club have been one of the big surprises of the Premier League season, although the manager refuses to be carried away by his team's impressive first half of the campaign.
"It's difficult for a club like us to look too far ahead," he said. "Like our fans keep singing, we know what we are.
"We know what we're trying to be and what we're trying to build as a team and for us to look too far ahead would be wrong.
"We've got Fulham at home in two days' time and the first target for us, like most teams in the league, is to get to the 40-point mark so we can say we're safe. When we reach that, we will re-assess and set ourselves another target."

Hey folks. I'm going to be doing some writing over at Chad Moriyama's blog, Chad Moriyama. I'll be covering mostly the minor leagues over there, but I'll also chime in on the Dodgers from time-to-time.
What does it mean for this blog? Well, not a whole lot. I'll still be writing here and posting excerpts of what I write over there. Admittedly, the posts here might not be as frequent, but I still hope to put out some quality work here. And I'll definitely continue doing the weekly podcast with Jared Massey of LA Dugout.
I just want to give a big thanks to Chad for giving me this opportunity. I am humbled and grateful for the chance. Look for my first post soon.

Crawford's goal remains postseason

Seattle Hoops: Crawford's goal remains postseason
By GARY WASHBURN
HE LOOKS NO different than he did 10 years ago, same wiry frame, same ability to score at will, same desire to win. Jamal Crawford will be 29 in two months, still striving to play in his first NBA postseason game in nine seasons.
The former Rainier Beach High School star remains one of the best high school players in the city's history. And he shows flashes of that brilliance at the highest level, dropping 50 for the Golden State Warriors on Dec. 20 at Charlotte, just a month after being acquired from the New York Knicks.
Crawford liked New York. He became a favorite of the media because of his engaging personality and desire to stand up and comment in every situation. He became the voice of reason in constantly chaotic times in Manhattan, whether it was a coach facing sexual harassment charges or following another disheartening loss or a teammate who refused to check into a game.
Through all the drama, Crawford wanted to remain in New York and see through the various rebuilding projects. But on Nov. 21 he became part of the ever-changing Knicks landscape when he was traded to the Warriors for Al Harrington, and Crawford moved from one rebuilding project to another.
He has taken change in stride, eager for players such as Monta Ellis and Corey Maggette to get healthy so perhaps the Warriors could make a late run at the final playoff spot -- though that is unlikely. Crawford is happy with his new surroundings.
"It's going well," he said this week. "I was shocked to say the least when the trade first happened, especially when we got off to our best start in 10 seasons. Things were going well. I was averaging 20 points. I thought things were good. I was definitely shocked, but I was excited about the opportunity to be closer to home, the way Coach (Don) Nelson coaches and his system, I was excited to be a part of it."
Crawford was indeed putting up All-Star caliber numbers in New York. He was flourishing under new coach Mike D'Antoni's up-tempo offense, which appeared to fit him perfectly. But D'Antoni wanted another athletic big man and Harrington wanted out of Golden State, and Crawford found out about the deal after a shootaround in Milwaukee.
"I was caught off guard because my name had never been out there like other people's names," he said. "I was the last person to expect to get traded like that. I had been in New York so long, through the tough times. I definitely wanted to be there when it got good again."
Say what you want about Crawford and his game, but he is a chameleon, with the ability to adapt to any situation. I was in New York last season when Knicks fans were calling for Isiah Thomas' firing at home games, and Crawford was one of the few players who didn't attempt to blow past the media at practices. Thomas brought him to New York to pursue stardom, and he wanted to see that come to fruition.
That's still entirely possible, but it will happen in the laid-back Bay Area. Crawford said the best thing about the West Coast is being able to dart to Jack-in-the-Box on late nights. The simple things make him happy.
Nelson's shoot-first and shoot-again offense seems to fit Crawford's game perfectly. He has been accused of falling in love with jumpers, launching them at every opportunity, even when he was hopelessly missing, but that won't be a problem with Nelson. The Warriors love to run, and Crawford is one of the league's best scorers when that jumper is flowing.
"It's just getting up and down the court and making quick decisions, and Coach Nelson trusts his players a lot," Crawford said. "They are going to make the right call and do the right thing, pass up a good shot for a great shot and attack the defense. I'm still adjusting, especially me playing point guard. You'll see big scoring games like a 50 or 40 game for me. You'll also see games from me where I will take six or seven shots to try to get everybody involved."
There is talent in Golden State. Ellis is probably a month away from returning from an ankle injury. Maggette is just returning from a torn hamstring, while Stephen Jackson had battled ailments all season. Add to that Andris Biedrins, youngsters Brandan Wright, Anthony Randolph and Anthony Morrow, and the Warriors have a foundation.
Yet it could be a while. The Warriors fell to 10-27 after losing to the Lakers on Wednesday and are 11 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot. Crawford is in the NBA basement again, hoping to reach the penthouse before he becomes a graybeard.
"It's definitely tough and it tests your patience for sure," he said. "But it's easy to walk away and give up and say 'I'm just going to go to a team that's already been there before, at least I can say I am on a winner now.' But it's a bigger challenge to say 'I think it can be more gratifying if you can turn something around that's not expected to do anything.' I think there's more satisfaction in that."
Crawford will have an important career decision this summer, whether to opt out of the final two years of his contract, totaling nearly $20 million, in favor of free agency.
"When you have something like that, that doesn't mean you jump ship, it means you can still use the opt-out clause and re-sign, but there's different options," he said. "My first and second choice is to be here. They traded for me, and I think they really believe in me. When they traded for me it was for the long term, it wasn't just for the rest of the season."

Jets 2, Maple Leafs 1
After watching his team's offense struggle on a six-game road
trip, Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel hoped his team would score
more than once at home against Toronto.
He got his wish, barely, but two goals were enough to cool off
the Maple Leafs.
Chris Thorburn scored and Bryan Little added the go-ahead goal
as the Jets edged the Maple Leafs 2-1 Tuesday.
"We don't particularly care who it comes from as long as we get
a little more than one," Noel said after Thorburn scored his
second goal of the season to get the Jets rolling.
Winnipeg has 56 points, winning at a loud MTS Centre after a 2-4
road trip in which it scored just six goals over six games.
Home-ice advantage has been one of the few consistent weapons the
Jets have found this season.
The Jets made the most of their brief homestand, and now hit the
road for two more away games starting Thursday in Washington. The
Jets hope this result will lead to better success on the road.
"We haven't been pretty good on the road but hopefully this win
will kind of set things in motion," Little said. "We have another
big road trip coming up and we need these points. Every game is
going to be important for us."
Winnipeg forward Evander Kane made his first appearance in the
Jets' lineup since Jan. 19 after missing games with concussion-like
symptoms but his ice time was limited.
"Hopefully next game I'm a little more involved," said Kane,
who showed no reluctance to go into the corners.
"Taking those hits early on just gave me a little more
Toronto failed to gain any ground in the Eastern Conference
playoff race. The Maple Leafs are in seventh place in the
conference, one point ahead of Ottawa.
Toronto had won three games in a row and lost only one in its
previous six coming into Winnipeg.
Phil Kessel scored Toronto's goal, skating smoothly around
Winnipeg defenseman Tobias Enstrom to slip his 30th of the season
past Ondrej Pavelec at 11:06 of the first period.
Winnipeg answered as Thorburn scored at 14:16. Thorburn flipped
a solid backhand past Toronto goalie Jonas Gustavsson.
The Jets went ahead for good at 9:47 of the second period.
Gustavsson made a great save to keep Blake Wheeler from scoring,
but Little slammed in the rebound to give Wheeler a team-leading 26
Pavelec made 17 saves for the Jets, while Gustavsson stopped 27
shots for the Leafs.
"All season long we're staying positive," Pavelec said.
"We know we can play. We know we can beat those teams."
Manitoba native James Reimer, who has been playing well for the
Leafs, didn't second-guess coach Ron Wilson's decision to give him
a rest, but admitted it was a little frustrating to sit.
"It was disappointing. I felt like we had the chances and we
controlled most of the play," he said.
"We just couldn't find any good scoring chances in tight. Kudos
to them for blocking up the net."
Winnipeg and Toronto both failed to score on two power-play
Notes: The Leafs lost their first game in Winnipeg 3-2 on Dec.
31. In that game, Antti Miettinen had two of the three assists he
has managed since donning a Jets uniform. … Winnipeg defenseman
Zach Bogosian left the game clutching his wrist early in the
second, but returned later in the period.

09 January 2012
2012 - May it be a good year ...
Thank you all so much for your continued good wishes and maybe I'll manage to post more from now on. I have every intention of making 2012 a good year, and so far so good!
Paul has made such good progress and has put on all the weight he lost, thanks to his nightly 2.5 litres of nutrition circulating through his bloodstream via a Hickman line. What seemed such a daunting prospect back in August has turned into the norm, although I know he would love to be able to have a night off from being hooked up! Mind you, it could be a case of 'Be Careful What You Wish For' as that was the case at the beginning of December when a high temperature meant 5 days in Yeovil Hospital with no TPN while the line was tested for infection. Thankfully it turned out to be a dose of flu, but this will be the case every time his temperature goes above 38 degrees. However, we like to think we've moved on from that and he is looking better than he has looked for a very long time. His next follow-up at St Mark's Hospital is on 26 January. It'll be interesting to see what they have to say.
Dairy House Antiques continues to thrive, and Woo is now a firm fixture, keeping everyone on their toes and doing a brilliant job keeping me under control. My stress levels are improving by the day, and all seems set fair for the sort of year I'd like it to be ... not that there's any complacency. As December showed, anything can happen and plans may need to change without warning. But we can cope with that. It's become a way of life.I am, however, now able to spend more time at Dairy House. At the moment most days are covered, so I'm able to come and go without being tied to the desk. I was there on 4 separate occasions last week, which was something I questioned whether I'd ever be able to do again.
Despite all the despondency, doom and gloom, we had our best year yet, and 2011 brought us lots more new regular customers. Hopefully that trend will continue this year! On 20 November, at the end of National Antiques Week, we held a 'Christmas Market' at Dairy House, which turned out to be very successful for everyone involved. We held a raffle and offered mulled wine and mince pies to our visitors, and I'm delighted to say that we raised £255 for St Mark's Hospital Foundation.
Christmas came and went uneventfully, thank goodness. We spent Christmas Eve with Hannah, Rob and Florence the Granddaughter. There was plenty of laughter and present opening, although Paul's afternoon snooze meant he missed out on the hilarity of Flo's antics. She is almost 20 months old now and is a comedian just like her mother. I'm such a proud Gran (what Grandmother isn't!!!!).
Last year I bought a French dolls bed, armoire and dressing table from Linda Clift at the Honiton Textile Fair. As Han and Rob had bought Florence a doll it seemed the ideal time to make the bedding and give it to her for Christmas. I was thrilled to find a Scheurer fabric in my stash which matched the colours of the 'bedroom suite' perfectly, and this became an eiderdown of sorts. I made a mattress and covered it with the tiny check cotton gingham that had been used as long runners on the tables at Han and Rob's wedding. A pillow and Irish linen pillowcase, a French linen sheet and a Welsh blanket completed the ensemble, On the back of the armoire is the name of the recipient and the date when I imagine a proud father or grandfather made it: Noel 1944. As Paul pointed out, it was made the year he was born!!
Mum and Gillie came to us on Christmas Day and that was the end of our festivities. I'm afraid I ignored anything decorative this year other than putting up our cards. Can you imagine - no tree! That was quite horrid, but just one thing too many to cope with. We spent the next week or so doing next to nothing, generally restoring the batteries and looking forward to a better year.
In a couple of weeks' time it'll be Mum's 91st birthday, followed at the end of March by our 35th Wedding Anniversary - where did that time go, then? Our grand plan, subject to change of course, is to have the window in our sitting room, which is quite wide, replaced with a single door and opening windows. It looks out onto the back garden and would make the room so much nicer. We're so lucky in so many ways. We don't really 'need' anything, and don't do much in the way of holidays as you know. Organising any while Paul's on TPN, whilst not an insurmountable problem, isn't anything we're particularly desperate to do, so the door to the garden seems like a good idea, and is something I've wanted to do ever since we moved here.
Next on the calendar willl be the Dairy House Annual Textile and Costume Day on Sunday 15 April, and with that in mind I'm hoping, with Woo's help, to have a grand sort out of my shed/studio. I have had so little time over the last 9 months to concentrate on all things textiley, so am looking forward to the rummage and finding out exactly what stock is there, forgotten and forlorn!!
Our other Dairy House plan is to hold an 'Outdoor Living ... Indoor Life' event at the beginning of July to kick off the summer season before the schools break up. We hope that these 2 newest events will become regulars on the Dairy House calendar in the same way that the Vintage Textiles & Costume Day has established itself.
Finally, my other grand plan (with moveable goalposts) for 2012 is to get back to sewing and being creative. When I look back at some of the creative projects I've worked on over the last (ssshhhh!!!!) 45+ years, I realise that the last 10 have been virtually 'make'-free, and that's something that needs to be rectified. I had such fun making the bedding for Florence's doll's bed and realise how much I've missed sewing, in particular. Far too silly when I look at the piles of vintage fabric and haberdashery I am storing and/or selling.
Onward and upward, yet again ...
I hope to be back here soon, maybe with some show-and-tell ... who knows!
Meanwhile a very Happy and Prosperous 2012 to you All.
Sue x

Busch snaps streak, wins Truck race at Charlotte
Kyle Busch showed he can still be dominant in the NASCAR Truck
Series, even when facing adversity.
Busch overcame a costly penalty to snap a seven-race drought on
the Truck Series by winning Friday night at Charlotte Motor
Busch dominated the race early, but had to overcome a penalty
for leaving the pit stall with a gas can still in his truck, a
mistake that forced him to the back of the pack on lap 84 of 134.
However, he battled back from 19th place in the No. 51 Toyota for
his first Truck victory since Sept. 24, 2011, at Loudon, N.H.
"We sure do like to make it interesting, don't we?" Busch
said, laughing while celebrating his 113th win in NASCAR's top
three series.
Busch said the penalty was frustrating but the team stayed
focused and didn't panic despite their recent string of bad
"We had to work our way back and I wasn't sure I was going to
make it all the way back," Busch said.
The 28-year-old Busch took the lead for good on lap 123 after a
four-car wreck brought out the race's eighth and final caution flag
and held on for his 31st career Truck Series win and fifth in the
series at Charlotte. He has won more Truck Series races at
Charlotte than at any other race track.
Busch said he's gone through six engines between the last two
races at Kansas and Charlotte.
"We have been having some engine issues and these guys have
been working too much overtime trying to change these motors out
left and right," Busch said.
The win was the first for Busch's crew chief Rudy Fugle.
"We didn't have the truck we were hoping for yesterday during
the test session but we played with some things and Rudy made some
good calls overnight and this morning it was an entirely different
piece," Busch said. "Great job to these guys for giving me a
great truck."
Brendan Gaughan finished second, and Max Gresham was third.
Series points leader Matt Crafton was fourth, followed by Ty
Dillon, James Buescher, Miguel Paludo, John Wes Townley, Ross
Chastain and 2012 winner Justin Lofton.
It was the first top-10 finish for Gresham who called the finish
"a win for our team."
Jeb Burton started on the pole for the third time in five Truck
events but failed to win that elusive first race of the season. He
finished 13th. Burton is alone in second place in the points
standings, 22 points behind Crafton.
Three-wide racing off the restarts led to several wrecks.
Brad Keselowski lost his chance for his first Truck Series
victory when he collided with Darrell Wallace Jr. with 14 laps
remaining. He finished 14th.
Johnny Sauter's tough luck continued after Buescher ran into the
back of his No. 98 Toyota on lap 115 and forced him into the wall
in turn four.
Sauter had been leading the standings before being docked 25
points on April 24 when NASCAR announced it found a modified fuel
cell found during inspection following the Kansas race. That
dropped him into a tie for second place in the standings despite
having two victories and four top-five finishes in four races.
In addition, NASCAR suspended Sauter's crew chief Joe Shear for
four races.
Sauter finished 28th.
There were five cautions in the first 100 laps, including a
two-car wreck on lap 94 when Ron Hornaday Jr. had a tire go down
and began sliding up the track. Jake Crum couldn't avoid Hornaday
and slammed hard into his rear bumper taking both drivers out of
the race.
Jennifer Jo Cobb, who had her team trailer taken from her race
shop earlier this week, had more troubles on Friday before the
She was unable to get her truck started prior to qualifying and
didn't race.
Mike Harmon, the man arrested and charged with felony larceny
for stealing her trailer, finished 24th. Harmon, who normally
drives on the Nationwide Series, has repeatedly said he was not
involved in the theft and maintains his innocence.
Cobb has said she feared racing against Harmon because he might
seek retribution on the track.

It so happens that I have the original radiator, but I had it re-cored in the 80's. So the tanks are the original ones, the original ID tag is long gone. I just want something which looks pretty close and works well. I'll keep the original in case the car is restored someday and of course since it is the original part. Not sure I'll ever be the one to restore the car. I don't care about showing and all that stuff, I just like to drive it and enjoy it as it is now. It's a great looking, great running original Z , with pretty much all the original drivetrain etc. It's not going to win any shows, but it's plenty nice enough for me.What Richard has done is along the same lines as what I'm thinking. Thanks for the input.
Hey Gary, nice Z. The first one I looked at in 1982 was your color combo. Couldn't quite get the dealer done with the seller. He dropped the price, then raised it. Pride got in the way at that point. I'm quite happy with the one I ended up with, so it was probably the right move.What' the pros and cons of the aluminum radiators being offered today, versus the original brass type? I'm seeing a lot of the aluminum ones.

With the 1st pick of the 6th Round (167th overall), the Astros select 6'3" 200lb Jacob Nottingham, a right-handed hitting catcher from Redlands High School in California.
Nottingham was the Citrus Belt League MVP, hitting .543/.629 with 7 HR and 31 RBI in 70 AB.
Baseball America ranked him 114 in their Top 250 Draft Prospects. Jonathan Mayo had this to say:
"A two-sport standout for Redlands, Nottingham chose baseball over a scholarship offer to play tight end at Arizona. He is committed to Oklahoma for baseball, if he doesn't sign with a Major League team after the Draft. Nottingham's best asset is his power, which has the potential to develop into a plus tool. His swing has a tendency to get long, but he doesn't get cheated at the plate. Defensively, he has the tools necessary to become a steady receiver and has a good arm. Nottingham is an aggressive player who has a good understanding for the game."
Perfect Game USA profiles him over here, and his scouting video is over here.

Great kid with massive potential! If he stays at catcher, he's going to be an all-star. Either way, Houston just got some character. 100% he signs.

Honolulu, Dec 7: Ray Emory could not accept that more than one quarter of the 2,400 Americans who died at Pearl Harbor were buried, unidentified, in a volcanic crater.
And so he set out to restore names to the dead.
Emory, a survivor of the attack, doggedly scoured decades-old documents to piece together who was who.
He pushed, and sometimes badgered, the U.S. government into relabeling more than 300 gravestones with the ship names of the deceased.
And he lobbied for forensic scientists to exhume the skeletons of those who might be identified.

Bloomberg Businessweek has become known for its provocative magazine covers, and its latest is already drawing controversy for its depiction of Mormons.
Here's a look at the cover. It depicts the moment when John the Baptist appeared before Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon church. The story is tied to an investigative report about the business dealings of the church.
There were immediate complaints, with some tying the cover to the candidacy of Mitt Romney. "It should anger anyone who finds it low and, frankly, un-American, to attack a candidate – directly or indirectly – through his religion," conservative media watchdog Newsbusters wrote.
Views: 362
In the final analysis, religion - belief in the supernatural - is absurd. If anyone is attacked for public belief in such absurdity and has to defend his belief, does he have a defense other than that others agree with his belief, that it is a norm of society and an accepted tradition?
This is yet another case of The Emperor Has No Clothes, though in this case, I imagine the mormons are wearing their magic underwear at least. If they get called on it, are the whistle-blowers to be blamed for calling bullshit or are the mormons for indulging in bullshit?
The difference between a religion and a cult is the amount of real estate they own. Frank Zappa.
Mormonism, under that definition, certainly qualifies as a religion. As does the Catholic Church, Southern Baptists, and Scientologists, among others. And, I've got to give it to the Mormons. Like their Catholic brethren, they know how to milk $$$ out of their after-life protection racket.
The Zappa quote is a new one on me, Pat - thanks!
We discussed elsewhere about if Romney were elected POTUS.
Does anyone think this maybe a push from the mormons? ie: having a POTUS that represents them? Presidents in the past have certainly 'said' the were christian in some shape or form but I don't think it has ever been a major factor, just as long as he was god loving in some way. I would have to research each Presidents religious agenda to note that perhaps each one was in a 'mainstream' church, that is to say nothing radical. I deem the mormons to be radical because of the crazy shit they believe, ok it's all crazy shit but theirs is craziER!.
And what influence would the mormon church have? How would they benefit (on top of the benefits they already receive).
Can and has the mormon church donated to SuperPac's ? I know it is highly possible and probable that members could certainly donate privately.
I am very surprised and the strict lifestyle structure of the mormons and yet they have no problem with owning shares in Burger King etc. Seems kind of hypocritical. Oh yes, sorry, no one said they couldn't be.
The mormons backstopped the putsch for Prop 8 in California. If they can do that and get away with it, what's to stop them from doing anything else?
The Mormon problem is this. We are caught up in a post 9/11 America. After 9/11 and the backlash at the Muslim population, I believe what we have is people afraid of being accused of being discriminative against him and his superstition. If this were before them clowns flew the planes into the buildings for their so called paradise with 72 crystal raisins, we would be seeing a different story. I think most people these days realize that their superstition is wrong logically, but choose to follow only due to tradition and fear of stepping out from underneath the umbrella of ignorance.
People know that once you pull someone's Bullshit card on being stupid for something, odds are your is next. The thing is with Mormons, everybody knows they are fuck nutz! But only a few will step out into the realm of honesty and call them out on it. Do you think a band of Mormons will burn down a newspaper stand for selling this? I don't think so...

Sleep deprivation is comparable to excessive drinking. A sleep deprivation study found that not sleeping for 17 hours impaired a person's motor skills to an extent equivalent to having an alcohol toxicity of 0.05 percent. Not sleeping for 24 hours was equivalent to a toxicity level of 0.10 percent.[1] This level of deprivation would impair speech, balance, coordination and mental judgment.
Sleep deprivation can cause work-related accidents. A study found that four out of eight officers involved in on-the-job accidents and injuries were impaired because of fatigue.[2] Such accidents include automobile crashes that were due to officers' impaired eye-hand coordination and propensity to nod-off behind the wheel. Other work related injuries come from accidents that occur when officers have impaired balance and coordination.
Research shows that fatigued officers:
Despite the impact of fatigue, many officers continue to work double shifts, triple shifts and second jobs. Some work well over 1,000 hours of overtime a year. Excessive work with inadequate rest over a long period of time can make officers sleep-deprived — 53 percent of officers report an average of 6.5 hours of sleep or less.[4]
