Bill of Rights

NC Government & History Library, 2013.

North Carolina's original copy of the Bill of Rights, stolen in 1865, has had a long and checkered journey before it finally returned to the state in 2005.It was created in 1789, when Congress requested President George Washington send 13 handwritten copies to the 13 states for ratification. It was stored with the state's other archival papers in the office of the Secretary of State located in the Capitol building. During the occupation of Raleigh by U.S. General William Sherman's army during April and May of 1865, a Union soldier stole it as a souvenir along with other papers. This unknown soldier took it home to Tippecanoe, Ohio (now Tipp City), and in 1866 sold it for $5.00 to a Charles A. Shotwell of Troy, Ohio.
In 1897, N.C. Secretary of State Dr. Cyrus Thompson read a news story about Shotwell with a picture displaying the Bill of Rights on the wall of his Indianapolis, Indiana office. Thompson, working through the Indiana Secretary of State, tried and failed to persuade Shotwell to return the stolen document. In 1925, Charles I. Reid of Harrisburg, Penn., representing Shotwell, contacted the North Carolina Historical Commission to sell it back to North Carolina. Robert B. House, secretary of the commission, refused, responding emphatically that it was the rightful property of North Carolina: "title to it has never passed from… North Carolina to any individual."
The location of the document was then unknown for 70 years until Washington, D.C. attorney John L. Richardson, representing an unnamed person, offered to sell it to the state in 1995. North Carolina asserted again it was the rightful owner and would not pay for stolen property. It was later determined that the unnamed person was Connecticut antiques dealer Wayne Pratt, who had appeared on the popular PBS television series Antiques Roadshow. Pratt had bought the document from Shotwell's heirs in 2000. In early 2002, Pratt, again anonymously, tried to sell the Bill of Rights to the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia. The Center subsequently authenticated the document as North Carolina's copy. Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, a member of the center's board, learned of the pending sale, and informed North Carolina Governor Mike F. Easley, proposing each state share the cost of the purchase. Instead, North Carolina refused to participate in the sale, once again asserting its rightful claim to the document. Governor Easley had state Attorney General Roy Cooper work with the U.S. Attorney in Raleigh to obtain the stolen document. The Federal Bureau of Investigation set up a "sting" operation in Philadelphia where agents seized the document on March 18, 2003.
A lengthy, protracted legal battle then began. While Pratt relinquished his claims to the document in federal court in September of 2003 to avoid criminal charges, Pratt's partner, businessman Robert V. Matthews, continued to claim co-ownership of the document and demanded compensation. On January 23, 2004, Chief Judge Terrence W. Boyle of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina ruled that the disputed document belonged to the state of North Carolina as a public record. However, he ordered the U.S. Marshals Service to keep custody of the document until the case was over.
On August 4, 2005, Judge Boyle awarded possession of the document to the state of North Carolina. Governor Mike. Easley accepted the document, which was conserved, framed, and placed in the vault of the State Archives. However, legal ownership of the document was still to be determined. Finally, on March 24, 2008, Wake County Superior Court Judge Henry W. Hight, Jr. issued a summary judgment order that ended all remaining claims to the document and declared that North Carolina owns its original copy of the Bill of Rights to the exclusion of all others.
In 2007, the document toured seven North Carolina cities: Wilmington, Fayetteville, Edenton, Greensboro, Charlotte, Asheville, and Raleigh.
On March 18, 2013, the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources gave a special program to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the recovery of North Carolina's copy of the Bill of Rights,
The program included remarks by Attorney General Roy Cooper, N.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Newby, and Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest. It was also an opportunity for members of the public to view the rarely-seen document.

A look back at PlayStation's Crash Bandicoot series of games.
There is a very high chance that Crash might be revealed at PAX Prime
Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped is my favourite crash game, but I'am still to this day a huge fan of crash team racing, phenomenal kart racer.
I would love a HD Crash Team Racing game...with an online mode.
Hell if ND ever got the rights I would love a CTR2.
Crash 1-3 + CTR and Spyro 1-3. That, for me, was gaming bliss right there.

Flooring Cross Over
We are http://www.Versatrim.com , manufacturer of flooring moldings for laminate flooring. We are starting to offer a service where a retailer can select the name of floors from different flooring brands and it will show them which ones of our molding colors match. I want the Logo "flooringcrossover" to be used as a button. It needs to stand out from our web site, I want everyone to see it, it can be round or square.
Flooring Retailers. Instead of paying $35 from someone like Pergo for their moldings that are being sold with the Pergo laminate flooring we offer it at $9.98 at equal quality.
The Font TRIXIE is heavily used in our marketing and part of our identity, so it is appreciated if used.
I like the combination of red and yellow, our red is pantone 032 or "RGB R=237/G=46/B=56) The Shell and McDonalds color combination is eye catching, but decent, I like that. Flooring comes in long planks, maybe that can be incorporated, but does not have to. Go to http://www.versatrim.com, the current box on the left bottom that says flooring crossover needs to be replaced.

It's time again for the Great Strides Walk to Cure CF. Please help out if you can.
Last week I worked on upgrading the Missionary Baptist Association of Texas website. It's now on Drupal and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. My hope is that it's now easy enough to update content that Bro. Reed, who doesn't know html or web coding should now be able to update the site. If not, it'll at least be easier on me on his newphew Justin. I think the site looks much better and less dated now.
I worked on playing with Open GL 3d code engine for my Android Phone. I love my android phone. The 3d code still has a problem with image textures. I can't figure it out. Most everything else I want is working, though. When I have time I'll try to figure it out. My phone has Cyanogenmod 5.0.7-Test5 loaded on it. It's a version of Android 2.1 for the MyTouch 3G phone. It's sweet! I really like having version 2.1 over 1.6 of the Android OS. It's much better. Cyanogenmod for 2.1 is just about as fast if not faster than the 1.6 also.
Roger gave me a payment for the yGED program. Thanks Roger. It was very unexpected because he already paid me for that. It was a pleasant surprise!
I've been churning out a Rolling Ball Sculpture about 1 or 2 a month. This last month a sculpture went really cheap. I was disappointed about that. After that though, so far I've had four different people email me asking if I had anything for sale. I don't do commissioned work anymore and and I don't have anything for sale but I'm working on it. Anyway, I'm not sure if they emailed me because they hope to get a sculpture for cheap too or that they really just want a sculpture? Anyway, I'm working on a 19" wall hanging sculpture with at least two tracks. I won't start the bidding at 99 cents, I'll start it for about $150 or so. I guess we'll find out if these would-be bidders are serious or not. ;-)
I'm becoming the Regex King. Wow, my brain hurts. Regexes are probably ok for one liners but when you have to make a regex that's about a paragraph long. It's very painful and I don't think it should be used anymore. Now imagine a regex that's about one or two pages. Yeah. ugg. It's torture. I've learned a lot, though.
I've learned that once you work somewhere at least 3 years that people rely on you probably more than they should. To the point where even on weekends, the middle of the night and on vacations you get the weirdest calls about something that's extremely important and has to be handled right now along with other tasks that also have to be handled right now. Like these calls couldn't wait until 8am? These are tasks they couldn't warn you about a month previous when it wasn't an urgency. Now that it's five minutes from being due and they need something done that will take at least a week to do. And, guess who's the only one they want to do it? Yep, it looks a lot like me? Guess who gets the credit for it not getting done on time? Yep, that person looks a lot like me too. Yep, I've been trying to push back and ask ahead of time if something needs to be done soon and remind them how many days something takes and how much work it is and how I had working late and on evenings like they get to go home on time but I don't. Guess what still happens? I guess I have that "Kick me" type note permanently tattooed to my forehead or something. Yesterday, I was back sitting at my desk trying to figure out how I can get something done right away, after being grilled and handed my tail on a plate for not having something done right away and in the special way they need or want it done, in which another guy and myself are just helping out on this other project because the original guy didn't do his job on time in the first place. So while I'm sitting there trying to figure out how to be more efficient, another team plops down a bunch of work and says that they need it done right away. Now this is already after I have a couple of other tasks on on the backburner and on hold already. So to recap, I have a couple of other tasks on hold that need to be done right away, I'm getting yelled at for not getting something done right away that another guy should have done but didn't and being told I need to step it up, and then while I'm trying to engineer how to handle that and step it up I get interrupted with more work handed to me. OK, so after that I go to talk to the guy about the project that I get stopped in the hallway and asked to be thinking about yet another new project that needs a bunch of work done right away. Like no foolin? Really? I mean, really? No wait, freakin really? Yes, really! So, that's also besides what I'm already doing that in all of my multitude of "spare cycles" I'm supposed to be also now doing a bunch of other stuff? No, like really? Anyway, I got to go because I think I'm due for another meeting to be told that I'm not getting enough done. I wonder why?

Our curriculum follows an interdisciplinary, liberal arts design with a focus on three dimensions of leadership studies: personal systems, organizational systems, and global systems, with a research thread throughout the program.
As a doctoral student, you will satisfy the liberal arts component of the degree through electives. Courses that have a title of "Leadership and…" have an especially strong emphasis in the humanities and enhance interdisciplinary thinking about leadership. Research is threaded through core and required courses, dissertation credits, and can be supplemented with selected electives.
You are encouraged to develop a concentration in the personal, organizational, or global systems dimensions by taking at least nine additional hours of elective coursework related to one specific dimension.
Each professor designs courses to fit her or his own background, education and special topical area and thus in-depth knowledge. The course syllabus is the best resource of information about the assignments and requirements of each course. The course may change from semester to semester and even within the semester as the professors respond to student interests, issues, and their own growing knowledge of the field of leadership.
An ability to read and write critically, broadly, and in-depth is a fundamental component of the Ph.D. program. You should expect significant reading assignments in each class; it is preparatory for course session discussions and in research for written assignments. Writing is required to facilitate and demonstrate learning in the field of leadership studies. Although writing assignments vary, you are expected to write in an analytical and scholarly manner.

Liz Cheney Bails on Senate Bid Like Her Pa's First Heart Bailed on Him
Elizabeth Cheney, non-gay daughter of the former VP, tried to run for Senate from Wyoming and ended up pissing off her family. She also pissed off some of Wyoming's best-loved pols, including the family friend who she's trying to unseat. All of which would have been fine, but it turned out she pissed off voters, too.
CNN reported late Sunday night that Cheney was dropping her bid to challenge Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wy.) in the state's Republican Senate primary this year. In a release early this morning, Cheney said she was quitting because of "serious health issues" in the family, though she refused to say anything more about that in an email to the New York Times.
On one hand, this is no big surprise. Cheney carpetbagged her way to the ancestral family home from her own native habitat in Washington, threw her lesbian sister under the bus for political gain, and never polled particularly well against a popular incumbent. Nonpartisan pollsters ignored the primary; a poll conducted in November by a conservative super PAC had Cheney down by 53 points, or 2 more percentage points than Barack Obama earned, total, in the 2012 election.
On the other hand, it's kinda weird to see any of the Cheneys admitting defeat after they single-mindedly bullshitted and blundered their way into a costly losing battle. But Liz is the one with a working heart.

Posted on July 19, 2010 in Strings
Playtesting Tourna Big Hitter 17 was like riding a rollercoaster for me. I had so many up and down feelings about Unique's Big Hitter Silver. I found it to be a very pleasurable poly to string. Once the string was out of the package and uncoiled I had no issues with recoiling or kinking; the surface of the string was easy to hold and weave as it had a chalky yet crisp feel to it. Being a 17-gauge gave it even more points in the stringing department; it was very pliable and it felt similar to stringing something like the WeissCannon Silverstring or the Topspin Cyber Flash.
The first hit was pretty unimpressive. The response was a bit muted, the string was soft, yet it wasn't pocketing the ball very well. I had strung my weighted Babolat Pure Storm at 61 lbs and would say that the string didn't perform that well at that high of a tension. Once the string settled after about 30 minutes of hitting, the feel improved and I started to get a little more plow through but I would still describe the response as being a little mushy feeling for a poly. Spin potential was also a little lackluster relative to other polyesters out there; most of the spin was being generated by the stroke while the string seemed to act as an accessory for topspin.
As the weeks went on the string maintained its feel and control but around the 13-14 hour mark I noticed a definite loss in tension. The tension loss wasn't horrible but I had to make sure to really keep the swing speed up or the ball would trampoline off the stringbed with little topspin, usually hitting some part of the back fence. Even though I had to concentrate on my shots more, the power that came with the lower tension also came with a feeling of glee once I got a handle on controlling it. I did really enjoy this string at the net; the combination of low power and soft feel was great for drop shots and short angled volleys. The string seemed to play better at a lower tension but technique was key in producing the topspin necessary to keep it in the court. Unfortunately, shortly after losing tension, around the 17-hour mark, the string seemed to die and I had to cut them out of my frame. No matter how hard I would swing, the type of shot hit (flat or topspin), I just couldn't produce the power to really finish points and would usually have to hit one or two more balls after a shot I would normally pump a fist for.
The ups and downs during the playtest would make me hesitant to switch to this string. Despite my own feelings, I do think there is a good market for it. Competitive players with a fast swing, who generate a lot of power would get along quite well with the Big Hitter Silver. It would be perfect in a hybrid setting if you're aiming to tone down the power without increasing tension, and anyone who likes the control aspect of polyester strings but doesn't like the 2 X 4 feel should definitely give this one a shot.

Do you love your music? Do you like to listen to your tunes at top quality? Whether you want to turn the music up loud without disturbing others around you, or you want to get the most out of your new MP3 player, this guide will help you select the right headphones for you.
It is not uncommon to put a pair of headphones on in a shop and find them quite comfortable for the minute or so that you're browsing tracks and checking them out in the mirror. Get them home, however, and by the end of the first album or movie, your ears are aching -- on the inside and the outside. If you are going to wear headphones for hours on end, make sure they sit over and outside your ears -- the larger the cup size, the better. Similarly, a soft fabric will minimise the pressure on your ears and head while ensuring the least number of gaps that let sound both in and out of the cups.
While cups and straps can cause physical pain after an hour or so, things like bass boost can have a similar effect on your ears. Many consumer-level headphones are designed for listening to certain styles of music and, as a rule, this means they have a certain level of 'sweetening' built into them. In other words, they have the equivalent of an EQ preset that is designed to make music sound 'better'. This is the major difference between Hi-Fi headphones and monitoring headphones used in professional sound recording. If you plan to use headphones while writing music or making soundtracks on your computer, for instance, look for a pair that has a 'flat' frequency response. Similarly, if a model has a bass boost or any other equalisation feature, make sure it can be disabled -- unless you are prepared to live with it permanently on.
The style of cup is also a large factor in headphone comfort, especially over long periods of use. For closed cups (otherwise known as "circumaural", "closed-back" or "sealed" cups), the larger the cup is, the more comfortable the headphones will be. The opposite is true for open cups (otherwise known as "supra-aural" or "open-back" headphones). Soft fabric and a padded leather strap will also help. The headband design can make a difference. Some people find that over-the-ear or "hanging" style headphones reduce the pressure on the ears, thereby making them more comfortable over longer periods. Alternatively, behind-the-neck headbands can have a similar benefit, although you may find that this design adds more to the aesthetic properties of the headphones than to its comfort. In any case, make sure the strap is fully adjustable -- it should have leeway on both sides when it is adjusted to fit comfortably. Rotating cups also make it easier to fit closed-back headphones to maximise comfort and minimise sound leakage.

Taking the PlungeWritten by Vu Ha Kim Vy
Swimming education is a hot-button issue in Vietnam. With thousands of drowning deaths occurring each year, it's something that should be seen as a crucial need. Unfortunately it isn't. Vu Ha Kim Vy jumps into the deep end, finding answers to this paradox along the way
My mountainside room has a view, the kind of view that people travel halfway across the globe for — paddy field greenery that sweeps into an infinity of sky, limestone mountains and canals. Yet set in a remote part of southwest Vietnam on the edge of Cambodia, this is the type of sight that few overseas visitors to this country ever see. Until now.

The painted names and tags around Ho Chi Minh City are not often the exciting, elaborate images that you see in other cities. But graffiti here doesn't carry the negatives it does in other cities — an eyesore to some — as it's still quite rare. So rare, in fact, that many people still don't know what graffiti is.

I remember in my early days, seeing a T-shirt that read "I made it to Vietnam before McDonald's did!" I recall loving that concept at the time; I felt original, like I accomplished something groundbreaking. With my nine-year anniversary of living in Vietnam having passed in June, along with the news recently breaking of McDonald's finally coming to the country, I started thinking of all of the other things this city didn't have when I first arrived. Here's my list of eight things that made it to Vietnam before McDonald's (but not before me).

Another Premier League weekend scarred by racist abuse, and the coin attack that left Rio Ferdinand dripping in blood at the Manchester derby, has English authorities fearing a return to the spite-filled climate when the country was a footballing outcast.
Despite English football fans being praised last month by FIFA President Sepp Blatter as positive examples for the world, unrest at globally televised Premier League matches looks to be mounting to revive memories of the hostilities in the 1970s and 80s.
"To see Rio Ferdinand with blood on his face is absolutely terrible,'' English Football Association chairman David Bernstein said Monday. "I think it's disturbing that we're seeing a recurrence of these types of incidents.
"We've had racial abuse issues, the odd pitch incursion, things being thrown at players. It's very unacceptable and has to be dealt with severely.''
Prosecutors acted swiftly Monday to charge nine men in connection with disorder at the previous day's top-of-the table derby in which Manchester United won 3-2 at Manchester City.
They included the fan who invaded the pitch to confront Ferdinand after the bloodied United defender had been struck by a coin during the celebrations for Robin van Persie's stoppage-time winner. A fan heard by officers allegedly hurling racial abuse at the Etihad Stadium will also face court.
On Saturday, Norwich's 4-3 victory at Swansea was also overshadowed by a man being arrested for allegedly racially abusing Canaries defender Sebastien Bassong, one of four cases of apparent racism directed at the Cameroon center back in the past two weeks.
"It's very disappointing - so much of football is so good, great things are happening in football as a whole, but these odd incidents get the headlines - and understandably because they are serious matters, they are unforgivable things,'' Bernstein said on Sky Sports television.
"When you think of the millions watching football every week, or involved in football, to see it hijacked by these incidents is awful, so we have to deal with it in the strongest way we can.''
During English football's darkest period in the 1980s, hooliganism led to club sides being banned from playing in European competitions for five years.
But since then English football has been credited with cleaning up its image to the extent where Blatter believes the country is setting an example to the world.
Reflecting last month on the blissful crowds at Olympic football matches in Britain in July and August, Blatter said he hoped the spirit "would be transported ... all around the world, where in all football matches you can sit together and there are no clashes or disputes.''
Yet only days after he spoke, a London derby at Tottenham was marred by West Ham fans hurling anti-Semitic abuse and performing Nazi salutes.
Herman Ouseley, the head of English football's anti-racism body, fears there is a "nastiness creeping back into society ... bigotry and hatred.''
"People take those characteristics into football to ease their frustrations,'' Ouseley said.
Bernstein also attributed the recent racism cases and crowd unrest to a "difficult social problem.''
"I think there's a copycat thing,'' he said. "Something happens and other people copy it, and this sort of thing can spiral.''
In the past year, there has been a spate of arrests for racism at Premier League matches, while Liverpool striker Luis Suarez and Chelsea captain John Terry have served bans for racially abusing opponents.
"It's important that matters are brought to a head and people understand that there is no room for this in football at all, and we'll do everything we can within the FA,'' Bernstein said. "I know the rest of football feels the same, it's a blot on the game.''
As the FA investigates Sunday's incidents, the FA is encouraging clubs to impose life bans on those found guilty of misconduct at matches.
The pitch invader from Sunday's Manchester derby, who had to be restrained by City goalkeeper Joe Hart, has issued an apology and acknowledged the damage his unruly actions have caused English football.
"I am extremely ashamed of my actions. I have let myself down, my family down, my fellow fans down and Manchester City Football Club,'' the 21-year-old Matthew Stott said in a statement released by his legal team. "I intend to write personally to Mr. Ferdinand to express my extreme regret and apologize, and also apologies to Manchester United and their fans.''
Ahead of Stott's court appearance, City has removed the season ticket from the landscape gardener from Knutsford, south of Manchester, and he is now facing a life ban from the club.
Solicitor Rebecca Caulfield insisted that Stott was not a "stereotypical drunken football fan.''
"He is embarrassed and ashamed of his temporary moment of madness that has brought wider consequences on the club he supports and his fellow fans,'' Caulfield said.

Small Wonders: AIA Small Projects Awards
Ranging from objects to structures, this year the Chicago AIA was all about small. Recognizing the status of the economy and a shift from living large to treading softly, the architectural organization decided to honor small projects who best reflected these changes all while being highly innovative and on a budget.
The Small Firm/Small Project Award is the first of its kind for the Chicago chapter of the AIA,
The goal of this award program is to raise public awareness of the value that architects bring to small projects and to promote small practitioners as a resource for design excellence.
All firms in the competition have 9 or less licensed architects & architectural interns. The construction budget was a maximum of $50,000 for the 'Object' category, and $500,000 for the 'Structures' category. Of the 14 winners, here are a few of our favorites:
Shown above the jump from left to right:
1 Erie on the Park Residence by Froelich Kim Architecture: "The aim of their material and other choices, say the architects, was to create a calmer, more fluid space than the 'hodge-podge of angled walls and columns' that had been in the space. As built originally, they say, the condominium was made to feel smaller than its 1,300 square feet by its being chopped up into 'compartmentalized and jumbled spaces.' They were called in to impose a logical and harmonious feeling to the home. They did so in part by creating a subtly arced wall that follows the natural circulation path through the center of the home, and by installing several large pocket doors by which the residents can modify the levels of privacy and openness that the floor plan allows."
2 Retreat House by John DeSalvo Design: "This duneland home contains just 1,200 square feet but lives larger, both because of its many window and skylight openings and because of its thoughtful arrangement... The site is tight—and was made even tighter when the builders were required to put up retaining walls to jeep the dune from shifting—but an exterior staircase to the rooftop porch and built-ins throughout the living space are a few of the devices used to preserve interior room... The first floor is 850 square feet, the second is 550, and above that is a spacious rooftop "porch" private enough to accommodate a hot tub. The home sits 14 feet above street level, which further maximizes its stature, not to mention its views. The architect used a palette of natural and local materials for low environmental impact and minimal maintenance."
3 Yao Residence by Perimeter Architects: "When called in to 'redefine' an existing home on a horrendously noisy site 30 feet from a CTA Elevated train platform, the architects turned their backs—or rather, they turned the house's back. They wrapped nearly the entire train-facing side of the house with a standing-seam metal panel wall that is filled with open-cells pray foam insulation that dramatically cuts noise penetration to the interior. The result is a tightly wrapped west wall, with just one window; a large skylight that slices through the top of the house compensates for the loss of light."
4 For the Birds Birdhouse by Froelich Kim Architecture: "Designing an object for a Pritzker Elementary School fundraiser, Froelich Kim Architecture looked to the current housing market for inspiration, noting that it's 'for the birds.' In response, the architects aimed to fill a needed niche with a multi-family birdhouse. The design challenge was to create a fully functional birdhouse that would meet the standards set forth by effective birdhouse guidelines while serving as a built homage to the canons of high modernism."
5 Bucktown Loft by Suski Design, Inc.: "After being completely devastated by fire, this stunning soft loft was re-envisioned to better suit the owner's tastes and functional needs. The client wanted a minimalist environment with an emphasis on the views of downtown Chicago and the Wicker Park neighborhood. The renovation made the layout a free-flowing design where spaces were opened, details simplified and window added for increased natural light and enhanced skyline views. The clean lines, neutral palate, contemporary furnishings and a variety of smooth and textured surfaces help to make this loft a tranquil home suited for both relaxation and entertaining."

|CFDA Number:
|84.004D - Training and Advisory Services
|Goal 8: To support access and equity in public schools and help school districts solve equity problems in education related to race, gender, and national origin.
|Objective 8.1 of 1: Provide high-quality technical assistance and training to public school districts in addressing equity in education.
|Indicator 8.1.1 of 1: Breadth of services: The number of services provided by the EACs will increase each year.
|Targets and Performance Data
|Assessment of Progress
|Sources and Data Quality
Progress: In 2001, EACs improved their performance in all areas except ''conference/seminar/other training events.'' Program budget constraints prohibited increases in this area. 2001-2002 EAC activities were interrupted by the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), January 2002. NCLB re-directed EAC activity and focused Centers' work on the requirements of the legislation. The shifting nature of requested technical assistance is reflected in what appears to be a reduction of services in some areas. New areas of TA include: increased access to English language literacy for ELL students in addition to bilingual education advocacy; disaggregated data; high-quality teacher professional development; and parent group assistance.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
TaxonomyThe platypus was described scientifically for the first time by Dr George Shaw (1751-1813), who named it Platypus anatinus. Platypus is an anglicised Greek word meaning flat foot, probably referring to the web on its feet. Unfortunately this name had already been applied to a genus of beetles, so it had to be changed. Ornithorhynchus (bird-snout) replaced it, but the species name anatinus (duck-like) remained the same.The original specimen described by Shaw is currently stored with our research collections.
No other animal on Earth looks quite like the platypus. The most distinctive feature is the bill, which is not hard like the bill of a duck but soft and pliable. It is well supplied with nerves and is used by the animal to locate food and to find its way around under water.Platypuses lose their deciduous juvenile teeth a short time after the young leave the nesting burrows. They are replaced by horny pads made of keratin.
Built for swimming and digging
Platypuses are covered with dense, waterproof fur, except on their feet and bill. They have a streamlined shape, short limbs and propels themselves through the water using alternate kicks of their webbed front limbs. These webs of the forefeet are folded back when the animal is walking or burrowing to expose strong claws.Behind the bill on either side of the head are 2 grooves that house the ear openings and the eyes which close when the platypus dives. The nostrils are on top of the bill, not far back from the tip.The skeleton is streamlined but heavy enough to support large muscles for swimming and digging.
Other key features
Each of the males' rear legs bears a horny spur on the ankle of about 1.5cm in length. This hollow spur is connected to a venom gland in the upper leg.The tail consists mainly of fatty tissue and acts as a fat storage area.Interestingly, the platypus skeleton shows reptilian and marsupial features:
- Between the collar bone and the sternum the platypus has a distinctively T-shape bone called the interclavicle, which is also found in modern reptiles.
- Like marsupials, the platypus has two epipubic bones attached to its pelvic girdle.
- The legs are splayed rather like those of reptiles but they rotate in their sockets like those of mammals. (Grant, 2007)

CRESTVIEW � The Air Force and Army�s Northwest Florida presence has been an economic generator for Crestview and surrounding communities.
CRESTVIEW � The Air Force and Army�s Northwest Florida presence has been an economic generator for Crestview and surrounding communities.
The University of West Florida�s Haas Center for Business Research and Economic Development estimates the average earnings per military-related job are $87,300; annual military economic impact to Okaloosa County is $5.2 billion with more than 58,800 local jobs.
In Northwest Florida, military workers generate more than $4 billion in annual sales activity and consume $3.3 billion in goods. Defense annually brings capital investment of $495 million, according to a 2012 report from the Association of Defense Communities.
The influx of an estimated 6,000 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) troops and airmen of the Eglin 33rd Fighter Wing, support staff and family members helped shield Crestview and its housing market from the recent recession.
Armament development
Armament development, including creating the 2002 Massive Ordnance Air Burst bomb, commonly known as the "mother of all bombs,� remains an integral part of Eglin Air Force Base's mission.
Eglin test support personnel, mostly civilian employees, run and analyze weapons trials by the U.S. Air Force and allied nations. Foreign allies routinely rotate in and out of Eglin for training on the F-35 fighter jet.
Nearly half the Department of Defense's spending in the state occurs in Northwest Florida, according to the Okaloosa County Economic Development Council.
Even with possible civilian employee furloughs � which the Department of Defense said won�t be as severe as anticipated � the average military salary is nearly double the state average, the EDC said.
Military and municipal partnership
With the Eglin reservation comprising nearly half the county, and the base's Military Influence Planning Area taking up nearly two-thirds of the remaining half, community leaders mindful of the military's economic contribution are careful to not infringe on its missions.
Crestview has joined eight regional municipalities, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton counties, and Eglin Air Force Base in the Military Sustainability Partnership, which plans strategies to enhance and support the military's Northwest Florida mission.
The Crestview City Council last month sent the state a revised comprehensive plan that, if approved, would adopt recommendations from the base's Small Area Studies report completed last fall. These include mitigating light pollution that can distract pilots' night vision, and implementing structure height restrictions within approaches to Duke Field. Limiting residential development potentially close to aircraft noise in flight corridors also is a factor.
The sound of freedom
Visitors to Crestview sometimes flinch when a C-130 Hercules lumbers overhead on final approach to Duke Field � sometimes so low that folks on the ground can wave to pilots.
Just as the roar of Eglin's F-35 fighters often surprise south county visitors, but not people who live there, north county residents are used to the four-engine turbo-prop planes.
It's just the "sound of freedom," they say. And for many, it's also the sound of the region's economic engine.
The north county's eight-decade involvement with the military dates back to the 1930s and a Depression-era project that employed local workers to service Pensacola Naval Air Station planes landing in Crestview.
The aircraft, stationed at Crestview's old American Legion Field, joined planes from Maxwell Field Station in Montgomery in area exercises. The Maxwell planes eventually landed at a Valparaiso airfield, according to "Crestview: The Forkland,� by Betty Curenton and Claudia Patten.
The $2,000 allocated to improve and develop the Valparaiso field and build hangars for the Maxwell planes marked the origin of Eglin Field, a U.S. Army Air Corps training post.
World War II�s beginning in Europe accelerated Eglin�s importance and strengthened its relationship with the county seat. More than $1.25 million was spent, prior to America's entry in the war, to enhance Eglin's mission as an aerial gunnery school, the book states.
War expands Eglin's role
In post-Pearl Harbor days, the Doolittle Raiders rehearsed at Eglin Field for the first U.S. attack on the Japanese homeland. Their mission buoyed the nation�s spirits and fostered regional pride in the local base's role.
By then, Eglin armament experts were in the formative years of the base's mission, testing America's armaments. Among early experiments in guided missile technology, they reverse-engineered a captured German V1 flying bomb and enhanced it with Yankee expertise. One of those early weapons hangs from the Air Force Armament Museum�s ceiling at Eglin Air Force Base.
Economic impact begins
Recognizing the field's personnel would have local impact, a downtown Crestview building boom began, as "five new brick business houses" were constructed downtown before war came to America, according to the book.
When Eglin soldiers and airmen received weekend leave, their sights frequently turned north to Crestview. Main Street watering holes, eateries and movie houses swarmed with young men in khaki every weekend. Those who celebrated too much became well acquainted with the Hilton Hotel, present-day Desi's Restaurant, which rented cheap dormitory accommodations to soldiers who missed the last bus back to Eglin Field.
A local USO formed at the Crestview Woman's Club House in 1942; meanwhile, enlisted men could dance into the evening with locals at the Community Recreation Center. Area residents' donations funded the center.

Singh quashes rumours over Judan Ali
Blackburn Rovers have denied reports that an untried manager who was the subject of a Bollywood film is set to become their next boss.
Judan Ali, whose attempts to earn a playing career formed the basis of the 2007 film Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal, was at training on Friday, the day after the Championship club sacked Henning Berg.
Berg was sacked after a 57-day reign in which he only won one of his 10 games in charge and assistant manager Eric Black, first-team coach Iain Brunskill and goalkeeping coach Bobby Mimms were also fired.
But Rovers say it was a coincidence that Ali, a former Arsenal trainee who has led India's Under-15 team, led a community youth project in Dagenham and managed Accrington Stanley Bowles, was at the club's Brockhall training complex the day after Berg's departure.
"He was a guest of the club and has been here for about a week or 10 days. His visit has been planned for months," said Rovers' global advisor Shebby Singh. "He seems to have got caught up in the crossfire."
Singh hopes to appoint a new manager "imminently" as Rovers, who have slipped to 17th in the Championship, seek to change their fortunes and offered a glowing assessment of reserve team boss Gary Bowyer and his staff to the Press Association.
"We've got capable people,'' he said. "This club is well run, we've got proper people. Gary Bowyer has been reserve team and Under-21 manager for two years, he's been at the club for eight years.
"Terry McPhillips, Tony Grant (both youth coaches) - these are great guys. They've been working so hard behind the scenes and people don't realise all the good work that they've put in. So nothing of that sort (Singh and Ali taking training), it's been business as usual.''
Quotes attributed to Balaji Rao, managing director of the Venky's group that owns Blackburn, emerged earlier on Friday stating that a manager with "Premier League experience'' would be appointed after the Barnsley game - something else Singh insists is wide of the mark.
He added: "I can safely say that is not true because I was on the phone with him. I've been on the phone with him all morning and no, it's not true. Someone's just decided to be mischievous about it so, no, it's not true.''
Former Rovers player and manager Mark Hughes is the fans' favourite to succeed Berg but it is questionable if the Welshman, sacked by QPR in November, wants to work in the Championship.

A festival that encompasses performances by Van Dyke Parks, Corey Harris and Lydia Loveless, movies about the Jesus Lizard, Big Star, John Fahey and the Rolling Stones, a Melvin Peebles tribute, a Wax Trax roundtable and a presentation by punk-provocateur Martin Atkins? That's the enticing, mixed-media menu at CIMMfest, which launches its fifth year next week.
CIMMfest surely deserves points for establishing itself as a different kind of festival – one that combines movies, music and conversation in a way that aims at the discerning culture disciple. But high-minded intentions and astute programming only go so far. For any festival to survive, it needs cachet, buzz and money – not necessarily in that order. Chicago hosts dozens of festivals annually, most of them niche events that draw small, clued-in audiences, but never really grow from there. Despite countless attempts, Chicago has never been able to nurture a festival on par with the annual South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, which draws huge audiences each March from the music, technology and movie industries.
Josh Chicoine, a longtime musician (formerly in a terrific band, the M's) and CIMMfest cofounder with documentary filmmaker Ilko Davidov, says he's confident that his festival can get beyond the just-glad-to-be-here stage into something a bit more long-lasting. "It's always a challenge to shout as loud as we can that we exist," he says. "But I think we're well-positioned to that idea of a South by Southwest type event for Chicago to bear fruit."
CIMMfest attendance has risen slowly, to about 8,500 people last year from 6,000 during its 2009 inception, Chicoine says. This year, he's aiming higher as the festival has expanded its capacity and programming with 25,000 tickets available for four days of events, Thursday through April 21, at 22 venues, most along Milwaukee Avenue between Division Street to Diversey Avenue. The lineup includes more than 100 music-centric movies from 20 countries, as well as live performances.
"The goal is to get people from out of town," Chicoine says. "There are enough film venues, enough clubs, enough music possibilities, enough hotels. We have never thought small about this."
Louis Black, who cofounded the South by Southwest Music Conference in Austin, Texas, in 1987 and now sits on CIMMfest's advisory board, says the festival's growth impresses him. But what prompted him to get involved was the feeling that he was among genuine movie and music enthusiasts.
"There are so many film festivals now, but this one had an organizing sensibility, a vision," Black says. "When I first got involved with it a couple years ago, it was liberating to see the way they embraced music and film and how they related to each other. South by Southwest was created by music, film and new-media fans, and the CIMMfest people are fans first and foremost."
South by Southwest dominates Austin for the first half of March, but CIMMfest shouldn't expect to do the same in Chicago, Black says. Chicago is simply too big. "But the emphasis on quality, the superior taste – they have it and that will serve them well," he says.Chicoine hopes that partnerships can become a way forward, not only for CIMMfest but for other well-intentioned festivals with similar goals. A few months ago, yet another attempt at a citywide music festival was announced: The Chicago Music Summit on Sept. 20 at the Cultural Center, sponsored by a new music office in the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. A tie-in with CIMMfest would seem logical, but as yet the two festivals haven't discussed anything.
Chicoine says it's a meeting he'd like to see happen, and Dylan Rice, director of creative industries in the city music office, says he's open to it.
CIMMfest "looks like a great multi-disciplinary program and one that connects local musicians and filmmakers," Rice says. "I am willing to meet whenever they would want to meet. I would love to talk to (CIMMfest) further about ways we can work together."
Black says it took several years for the City of Austin to join forces with South by Southwest. "Dealing with the city was often a pain," he says.
"I don't think it's essential to have city support. When government gets involved in the arts it's never a completely good thing. You need discriminating taste, above all. But money is always helpful."
CIMMfest cobbles together funding from a variety of sources each year to keep the festival rolling. "It's a real matrix," Chicoine says. "That's basically what I am doing each year, figuring out where the money is coming from. But the attitude the whole time is that we're doing it because nobody else is, and we can do it best."
The question is, will that be enough to keep CIMMfest thriving for another five years?

A NASCAR fan who leans against the chain link fence to get even closer to the race.
Look at that waffle belly down there! He's almost though the chain link fence!
by The_Swampfox July 11, 2011
A "groupie" for racecar drivers. The distinctive cross-patterns on their bellies are acquired by wearing a halter top and tightly pressing their over-tanned bodies up against the chain link fence which separates them from their objects of desire (the racecar drivers).
The cross patterns closely resemble the patterns (but perhaps the the inverse) of those seen in Belgian waffles.

The defining step in most ChIP assays is the use of an antibody to enrich for a particular protein or histone modification state associated with segments of chromatin. The specificity of the antibody is critical to the interpretation of the experiment, yet this property is rarely reported. Here, we present a quantitative method using mass spectrometry to characterize the specificity of key histone H3 modification-targeting antibodies that have previously been used to characterize the "histone code." We further extend the use of these antibody reagents to the observation of long range correlations among disparate histone modifications. Using purified human histones representing the mixture of chromatin states present in living cells, we were able to quantify the degree of target enrichment and specificity of several commonly used, commercially available ChIP-grade antibodies. We found significant differences in enrichment efficiency among various reagents directed against four frequently studied chromatin marks: H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K9me3, and H3K27me3. For some antibodies, we also detected significant off-target enrichment of alternate modifications at the same site (i.e., enrichment of H3K4me2 by an antibody directed against H3K4me3). Through cluster analysis, we were able to recognize patterns of co-enrichment of marks at different sites on the same histone protein. Surprisingly, these co-enrichments corresponded well to "canonical" chromatin states that are exemplary of activated and repressed regions of chromatin. All together, our findings suggest that 1) results of ChIP experiments need to be evaluated with caution given the potential for cross-reactivity of the commonly used histone modification recognizing antibodies, 2) multiple marks with consistent biological interpretation exist on the same histone protein molecule, and 3) some components of the "histone code" may be transduced on single proteins in living cells.

Car Review
2014 Kia Sorento SX: Fresh Eyes
After the sobering experience of banging up our long-term 2014 Kia Sorento SX tester and walking away impressed with its crashworthiness, we were eager to have the Korean crossover repaired so we could jump back into the saddle and carry on our test. But as it turns out, sometimes things don't go as planned (again) and cars aren't fixed as quickly as you might hope.
After waiting a couple of weeks for the body shop and being told that the damage was more extensive than we initially thought, Kia kindly decided to send us an entirely different test car so we could resume our evaluation anew.
Different, But the Same
AutoTrader's replacement car was of identical spec -- that is, a fully loaded SX model in Remington Red with a black leather interior. For having a tisk over 10,000 miles on the clock, this freshly detailed example was in impressively good shape, and had roughly 2,400 fewer miles than the SX we crashed.
Though several minor wear points (like the thinly scratched plastic steering wheel cover and rear gate guard) betrayed this Sorento's mileage, it was in otherwise excellent shape, ready to take on kid hauling, errand running and cross-city commuting duty.
SX, Revisited
Having time in between Sorentos to sample other cars enabled us to examine the new long-term loaner with fresh eyes -- and, for the most part, we liked what we saw when we came back to Kia. Having spent time in several sterner, more back-to-basics crossovers from other manufacturers made us more deeply appreciate the creature comforts in our SX model, such as heated and ventilated seats, a blind spot warning system, a pleasant soft-touch interior treatment and a sliding panorama roof.
We'll be darned if the new tester didn't drive better, as well. Seems the second car has more sure-footed handling and more confidence-inspiring dynamics, which is especially appreciated given its taller center of gravity. Was it perhaps a car that rolled off the assembly line later, or maybe one with a recent suspension alignment? Regardless of the reason, the new car felt better behind the wheel, particularly thanks to its more stable driving characteristics.
What's Next?
As we settle back into the 2014 Kia Sorento SX, we'll be coming back with updates on how it carries on through daily life with reports on fuel economy, day-to-day practicality, another upcoming move and an impending routine service.
If the Sorento continues to perform this solidly, we expect nothing but smooth sailing.

Increasing Performance With Monitoring Solutions
In the corporate environment, ensuring that employees remain productive while still keeping everything secure is no easy task. For years now, CIOs have been imploring their business colleagues to add more resources to IT budgets, understanding that without them, monitoring the safety of the company will suffer. And when safety suffers, so will the company.
In a recent survey of 150 IT decision-makers around the world, CA Technologies discovered that while companies are increasingly trying to adopt innovative business models and services, their biggest difficulty is monitoring such solutions to ensure that policies are being followed and security is kept as tight as possible.
"Senior executives across all functions are expecting IT to contribute to game-changing innovation and business transformation that can get products and services to market faster, spur revenue growth and support the agile creation of entirely new business models," says Mike Sargent, general manager, Service Assurance, CA Technologies. "This study confirms our belief that converged infrastructure management better positions enterprises and service providers to manage the stresses and strains brought on by accelerated adoption of mobile technologies, rich-media content and higher expectations from customers."

Bringing woods alive to fashion works of art
To you, it's just a carved plaque that represents an Amish boy and girl holding hands on a country road. To Tony Patriarca, it represents centuries of tradition and the evolution of a way to use wood to tell stories without sacrificing the wood to the story. It's called intarsia, and you have seen intarsia just about all your life. So, it's not the art; it's the technique you are not familiar with.
Tony Patriarca has been doing intarsia in his Warwick workshop for about 15 years and very helpfully gives visitors to his workshop a sturdy card that gives a brief outline of history of this decorative art form.
"Intarsia Wood Art is an ancient inlay wood art that has recently been revived," it reports. "Through the centuries, rich patrons employed craftsmen to create beautiful works of art from wood." Patriarca cites examples of the work found in Egypt, Rome, Persia and even Japan, but Germany and Italy during the Renaissance produced the most spectacular examples. For a more comprehensive history, see F. Hamilton Jackson's "Intarsia and Marquetry," London, 1903, who writes that, "Historians agree that the city of Siena was the cradle of Italian wood carving and inlaying. As early as the thirteenth century, documents mentioned a certain Manuello who, with his son Parit, in 1259 worked on the ancient choir of the Siena Cathedral."
But Tony's brief version will do to introduce you to thriving craft that will be one of many on display on Nov. 29 and 30, when the 23rd Annual Holiday Crafts Festival is held at the Warwick campus of CCRI. The show is organized by the Ocean State Artisans, a group of crafters who got together to promote and encourage the crafts in Rhode Island.
"The only rule to join is that your work is handmade," said Patriarca. "No manufactured goods from China or other countries: Just handmade stuff from America."
But the craft festival is also a holiday food drive for local food programs, which last year collected over 3,000 pounds of food and gave $5,000 to Rhode Island charities.
Patriarca has always been interested in woodworking. His father was a contractor.
"As a boy, I always had a hammer within reach," he said.
But an equal interest in photography took hold of him as a teenager and he left home to study photography in Rochester, N.Y. and in Minneapolis for six to eight years.
"I even took courses in anatomy as part of my training in photography," he said.
Patriarca became an expert technician as well, and when Earl Davis was building up Abar, Rhode Island's largest color photography plant and the largest outside of Kodak in America, he made a career of it until he retired in the early 1990s. But he never totally abandoned working with wood, and in 1979 he started building a house for his daughter that was based on blueprints from an antebellum mansion in South Carolina. No, he didn't suddenly decide to become a contractor like his father; he decided to build a "doll house" for his daughter, although that term seems inadequate to describe what is actually a scale model of a real house and its furniture rendered in extraordinary detail.
"It took me seven years, in spurts," said Patriarca.
One of the reasons Patriarca left photography was health. A failing heart demanded less stressful work, but for a man like Patriarca, having nothing to do created a different kind of stress and he came upon intarsia just in time to provide him with a satisfactory hands-on activity that was relaxing at the same time. Learning about the history of intarsia convinces you that there are levels that would be far from relaxing to master, especially if you had a rich sponsor looking over your shoulder, as was the case back in the day.
After the invention of perspective drawing and its application to painting during the renaissance, ambitious intarsia crafters echoed the trend in wood. Much of their work focused on street scenes and architectural subjects and simple objects like cupboards with their doors partly open to show items on the shelves. These were often extraordinarily realistic considering the materials and techniques used. The discovery of acid solutions and stains for treating wood and by the practice of scorching wood to create shades broadened the subject matter and deepened the skills. In the best works, pear, walnut and maple were the principal woods.
"At one time, Florence had 34 workshops for wood carving and intarsia," according to Jackson.
Early intarsia works depend mainly on silhouette for their beauty, but they also exhibit the use of line (made by graver or saw) within the main composition. A great deal was accomplished by choice of wood type, color, tone and by arrangement of grain direction, a technique still employed by Patriarca, although Tony's approach is a lot more casual than that of ambitious crafters of the renaissance. Aside from a very ambitious depiction of the Last Supper, Patriarca tries to keep it light when it comes to subject matter, but he is still very serious about materials.
"You always want to select wood for the grain, and how the grain contributes to the design," he said, and pointed to the leg of one of his own intarsia dogs, where the grain of the wood seemed to be added by an artist to create a three-dimensional effect. "You always try to pick wood with grain patterns that echo the subject matter."
By its very nature, intarsia places limits on the artist that are similar to other crafts and Patriarca says he spends a lot of time selecting various woods for their color and grain and, while it is acceptable to use dyes and colors, practitioners take particular pride in the marriage of material and vision and exceptional pleasure when the wood and the subject matter are, for lack of a better word, "made" for each other. If the wood is properly selected, less shading, tinting and dying is necessary. But, in the hands of a skillful artist, very beautiful effects can be obtained with dyes and tints. Too much coloring and the very nature of the art is violated. Good intarsia reflects the qualities of the wood being used as an intricate part of the composition.
"What I want to see is people completely enjoying the work I do," said Patriarca. "What I want to see is a smile on your face when you look at the work."
The 23rd Annual Holiday Crafts Festival will be held Fri., Nov. 29 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sat., Nov. 30 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $1 if you bring a non-perishable food item. To learn more about Ocean State Artisans, visit www.oceanstateartisans.com.

Modern Love Investigation: Do Old People, Like, Do It?
Ah, Modern Love: the New York Times' intellectualizing of chemicals that float between us. Many are awful, some are wonderful, and most are uncomfortable. Today's no different, as they answer an..age-old..question: are old people fucking?
Come on! You know you've wanted to know if your grandparents ever take the dentures out, put them on the nightstand, throw some Count Basie on the gramophone, and get bizz-ay with the sizz-ay. And you know you've always wanted to read something about it the started like this:
I sat on the examining table in my urologist's office...
Woah. Stop it right there, GRANDMA. Is that an ass-doctor you're talking about in the lede? [Ed. No?] Let's get to the good stuff! Are. You. Sexually. Active? Let's see here, blah blah blah, friends joking about not getting laid, it's funny, ha ha, words words words, sharing the same urologist with your husband, blah blah blah, hmm. I don't see anything, ah, wait! We might have a winner...
Physically, cuddling is high on our list. Back rubs are important. Holding hands on walks and in the movie theater is automatic. Yes, we are active - actively involved in each other and in our love of our life together.

Would this be a good idea or should I just dive straight into C++? Would C# actually be easier because its more like PHP than C++ or is it the other way around because I already know PHP and whichever one is more similar would be easier.

The Charlotte Hounds on Saturday afternoon held on to beat the New York Lizards 13-11 in front of 3,012 fans at American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte. With the win, the Hounds remain in fifth place in the MLL Standings, just below the Boston Cannons. The top four teams qualify for the postseason. Hounds midfielder Peet Poillon was named Player of the Game for a four-point performance.
Poillon opened the scoring for the Hounds after
Mike Sawyer recovered a groundball to set up the goal. Sawyer followed up with a tally of his own from just inside the 2-point line to give the Hounds a 2-0 lead four minutes in to the game. But the Lizards won the ensuing faceoff and some quick passing resulted in a goal by
Steve Mock to cut the lead to one.
Rob Pannell scored the equalizer after working from behind the cage to rip a one-handed shot low. The Hounds responded with a three-goal run to close the quarter, with
Matt White,
Josh Hawkins and
Mason Poli all scoring in transition to build a 5-2 lead.
The Hounds kept momentum rolling in to the second quarter, as
Brett Schmidt forced a turnover and
Steve Dircks recovered the groundball to set up
Kevin Drew who beat
Drew Adams low for a 6-2 advantage.
Ryan Young extended the lead to 7-2 before
Dave Earl was able to sneak a shot past
Adam Ghitelman to cut the Hounds' advantage down to four. But the home team again closed out the quarter with a three-goal run, including a 2-pointer from Poillon, to move in front 11-3 at the half.
Poli won the groundball off the first faceoff of the third quarter, and was able to dish the ball to
Eric Lusby who buried his shot and pushed the Hounds ahead 12-3. But the Lizards closed the quarter with back-to-back goals, the second of the night for both Mock and Earl, to make it a seven-goal game, 12-5.
The Lizards stayed hot at the start of the fourth, as
Steven Waldeck ripped a 2-pointer to pull back within five, 12-7, just 2:15 in to the quarter.
Jake Tripucka made it a six-goal game again though as he bounced one past Adams three minutes later. But the Lizards began to mount what looked like a comeback beginning with back-to-back goals from Pannell to cut the lead to 13-9.
Max Seibald followed that up with a 2-point goal to pull the Lizards within two, 13-11, with just over four minutes to play. But the Hounds held on and were able to close out the game to improve to 5-6 on the season. Ghitelman had 12 saves in the win.
The Hounds go back on the road next week, traveling to Columbus to face the Ohio Machine (1-9) at 7:00pm on Saturday the 27th. The game will be available in the Charlotte area on WMYT-12 or can be streamed nationally through ESPN3.com.
