Taft College swept against Monterey Peninsula College
Taft College's baseball team enters Central Valley Conference action today on a sour note after getting swept last weekend in a three-game home series against Monterey Peninsula College.
TC travels to Visalia to begin a three-game set with College of the Sequoias – weather permitting. The forecast calls for a cold, fast moving storm to bring rain and snow to the central valley.
The teams are scheduled to play in Taft on Thursday and wrap up the series Saturday in Visalia.
The scores against Monterey: 10-8, 9-7 and 10-6.
The silver lining: Taft bats came alive after a weak hitting performance a week earlier when the team lost two of three games. The Cougars scored 21 runs after getting only 19 in the first seven games.
The bad news: pitching and defense, elements that had been solid in the early season going, failed.
Cougar pitchers – nine of them – gave up 29 runs (21 earned) on 36 hits.
To complicate matters, the Cougars committed nine errors in the three games. In the previous seven they had only six.
"Our hitting was great," said head coach Vince Maiocco. "Our pitching took a dump and our defense was horrible. If you had told me before we played that we would get 21 hits, I'd be thinking: 'We're gonna sweep this series."
Travis Tessandori continued swinging his hot streak as the team's leadoff hitter. The 5-9, 160-pound freshman outfielder from Tehachapi went 6-for-12, scored five times and drove in a run.
"Tessandori has been a real bright spot for us," Maiocco said.
No. 2 hitter Luis Trinidad and designated hitter Dayton Kurian both went 4-for-10, including a double. Kurian drove in two runs and Trinidad one.
Josh Roelofs came off the bench to go 3-for-5 with a triple and two RBIs.
Jossaiah Raval cracked a line-drive homer in the sixth inning of the first game to tie the score at 8, but the Cougars saw Monterey come back with two walks, a sacrifice and two-run single in the ninth to win it.
Sophomore right-hander Allan Sanchez came in with a 1.12 ERA when he started game two but had a rough outing. He gave up five earned runs on 11 hits in his six innings of work.
The CVC – typically dominated by Fresno and Sequoias – could be better balanced this year based on non-conference records.
They look like this: Porterville 4-3, Fresno 5-4, Sequoias 4-5, Merced and Reedley 3-5, Taft 3-6-1 and West Hills 2-5.
"Most everybody has three or four wins," Maiocco said. "Maybe conference is what we need right now."
He's worried about his pitching staff after playing three games on the eve of conference play.
"Right off the bat you're looking at going to your bullpen," he said. "You can only give your Tuesday (conference) starter as few innings, and you probably shouldn't throw him at all. I'll have to rethink things when I put next year's schedule together."

So looks like NFL Shop has a 50% off deals going on with the new jerseys. They have the NFL Elite jersey for #139.00... So I was looking at my old reebok jerseys and they are mostly size 52. I see that Nike has large size 44 and XL size 48. Does anyone own the new elite jersey and tell me how they fit? Im thinking a large. My old Reebok replica jerseys are large which feel like XL to me.
Anyone help me out?

Slow starts in the second half have plagued the Carthage boys basketball team often this season, and it was a problem again on Tuesday night as visiting Ozark opened the third quarter with a 14-3 run and defeated the Tigers 73-50.
Slow starts in the second half have plagued the Carthage boys basketball team often this season, and it was a problem again on Tuesday night as visiting Ozark opened the third quarter with a 14-3 run and defeated the Tigers 73-50.
Carthage trailed by only seven points at halftime, but Ozark's lead doubled in a hurry when Nick Cookinham scored, Brett Krisik made two free throws and Korbin Evans made a three pointer, all within the first 74 seconds.
"We have been bad out of the locker room at halftime," Carthage head coach Steve Ray said. "I don't know what it is. Defensively, we just had a couple breakdowns and they really made us pay for them. We've got to find a way to come out at halftime. We always talk about the rule of eight. Eight points is kind of getting in the danger zone. They got it to double figures in a hurry, and that's asking a lot for a team that's struggling to score. We've just got to keep working at it."
The Tigers opened the game in strong fashion, scoring the first six points and holding Ozark scoreless for more than four minutes. A three pointer by Noah Nelson brought the visitors within a point, but junior Jaryd Coss made a free throw, senior Dawson Allmoslecher connected from beyond the arc and senior Nathan Reid's bucket with 57 seconds left in the first gave the Tigers a 12-5 advantage.
Krisik scored with 14 seconds left in the quarter, starting a 10-0 Ozark run haulted when Carthage senior Johnathan Terry scored at the 6:23 mark to pull the Tigers back to within a point. Reid scored 33 seconds later, giving Carthage a 16-15 lead, and Reid's alley-oop dunk on an assist by Allmoslecher made it 18-17 Carthage with 3:37 left in the half.
That was the last time Carthage would lead, though.
Ozark hit two three pointers in the final 2:29 of the half and took a nine-point lead before Coss grabbed an offensive rebound and scored at the buzzer, sending the teams to the locker rooms with Ozark leading 30-23.
Ozark's shooting from three-point range continued to haunt Carthage in the second half. After Ozark made five shots from long range in the entire first half, the visitors made five alone in the third quarter and scored seven points in a row to open the half, taking a 37-23 lead.
A three pointer by Reid with 2:14 left in the quarter brought Carthage within 44-29, but Ozark answered with two three's in a row and then closed out the third with a three pointer at the buzzer to take a 53-23 lead.
"They're dangerous," Ray said. "We talked about it yesterday in practice and today in walkthrough. They're a hard team to guard because they're physical and they can post up, any of their five guys, and they can also spread you out and shoot it. For our younger guys I think it's great to see because from a skill standpoint that's the kind of team we want to be. We just have not shot the ball well at all recently. I don't feel like we took a lot of bad shots, but we've got to figure out a way to start making shots. I know they're trying, maybe they're trying too hard. The effort's there. Ozark's a good team. I thought they just got better as the game went on. We played well at the beginning, we just couldn't sustain."
Reid led the Tigers with 18 points, and Allmoslecher added 15. Junior Cory Prevost had six points, Terry scored four, and junior Anthony Turk and Coss had three points apiece.
Cookinham had 20 points for Ozark, Nelson and Clanton scored 12 apiece and Evans had 11.
Carthage will host the Class 4, District 12 basketball tournament next week. Carthage, the fourth seed, takes on fifth-seed Monett at 6 p.m. Tuesday, with the winner advancing to take on top-seeded Nevada at 7 p.m. on Feb. 28.
"A new season starts tomorrow," Ray said. "Everybody goes back to 0-0. I'm just hoping we get some energy from that. I don't know if you can really feel good going into the district tournament 9-17, but I just know these guys have a lot of fight. They haven't quit all year; they're not going to quit this last week. I think we'll be okay."
Ozark won Tuesday's junior varsity game 74-41. D'Angelo Poole led the Tigers with 13 points, Jesse Martini had nine and Josh Barrett scored eight.

ROCKTON - Hononegah showed it wasn't going away halfway through its 54-52 victory Friday over defending NIC-10 champion Belvidere.
The Bucs (15-6, 5-3) led at the half even though NIC-10 MVP Joe Byers sat out 10 minutes with two early fouls. The Bucs then opened the second half with an alley-oop dunk by Byers from Maurice Jackson (11 points, 7 assists).
"We thought we had momentum there, but they dug deep," Belvidere coach Aaron Pearson said.
Hononegah scored the next six points and went on an 11-2 run to open a 37-31 lead.
The Indians (11-9, 6-2) remain a half-game out of first place despite losing eight of their previous nine games.
"Even with the rough stretch we've gone through, we're still in a good position," said Ryan Sughroue, who scored 14 points for Hononegah. "We like where we're at."
The Indians played without Daytona Chandler (concussion) and starting point guard Gary Hedrington, who was lost for the season with a severe knee injury two weeks ago.
"I feel sick for him," coach Mike Miller said. "He injured the whole everything."
Jake Wilson switched to point guard and scored 16 points, including Hononegah's first seven of the fourth quarter.
"I'm trying to be a team leader and get the most out of my teammates," Wilson said.
The lead changed hands 11 times, including four in the last four minutes of the game. Garrett Schweighauser scored in the lane to give the Indians the lead for good at 49-48. But Byers (seven of his 15 points in the last four minutes) kept the Bucs close. When the Indians missed two free throws with 12 seconds left, the Bucs had a chance to win, but didn't get off a good shot. Byers missed badly on a rushed 25-footer at the buzzer.
"That was us kind of freaking out," Pearson said. "This loss hurts. We're not where we need to be. We're not playing good basketball."
Hononegah is playing Hononegah basketball once again.
"Defense is the big focus of Hononegah basketball," Sughroue said.
"Coach always says one stop and we're out of here, send us home, and we did just that," Wilson said of the final play.
"It's been a crazy year," Miller said. "People didn't give us a whole lot of credit early and we got out of the gate great, then went through a killer stretch in our schedule that we've been trying to survive. We're not through it yet; we've still got a couple of the big boys coming, but I'm really proud of our toughness."

Your Personal (Solar) Power Plant
Simply put, Gen110, a California-based energy distribution company, sells electricity. "We give people an alternative to local utilities," says Jason Brown, CEO of Gen110 who is proud to have recently opened up a tenth Gen110 office in the Bay Area's East Bay.
Not only are the company's offices growing, but so is its number of customers as they've now installed what they refer to as "personal power plants" (or solar panels) on the roofs of over 2,000 homes in California in less than 3 years since their founding.
"We produce electricity and the homeowner isn't subject to the costs of transporting electricity, which they pay for through their utility. As a result, we help homeowners pay cheaper prices," he says. In order to do so, Gen110 partners with any and all local solar partners (SunRun is one in particular) to find the solar installation that makes financial sense for each home individually. "We're agnostic to technology. We put together the best combo of partners to provide the homeowner with the biggest payoff," says Brown.
The company's success thus far is based on the business model in which they don't work with homeowners that they can't help. "We don't provide electricity where the people won't benefit from this," says Brown. "They need to qualify."
By qualify, he is referring to a number of requirements that the home and the occupants need to meet. They are:
- The home's roof must have sun exposure
- The home's occupants must be high energy/electricity users
- They must be paying a high premium for their energy
Within these requirements, about one in every ten homes qualifies. Luckily for Gen110 and its qualifiers, only one in ten homes has still proven to be a successful business endeavor that manages to put renewable energy at the forefront.
But as Brown says, the company's agnostic approach to technology doesn't necessarily mean they're sticking with solar for the long haul. "We believe that eventually every single home will have their power sourced on site and not at a power plant. Right now, solar is the best option but we'll soon have a small fuel cell that produces electricity on site. It'll be like when all homeowners didn't have microwaves, and now they are in every home in America."
For now, though, Gen110 is on a mission to spread the word and inform homeowners that there are other options for generating electricity. "The future is bright. We just have to get out there and educate people," Brown says. Both literally and figuratively, bright is exactly what Gen110 hopes for.

GROTON -- The 12th annual "Taste of Nashoba Valley," produced by the Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce, will be held on Tuesday, March 19, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Lawrence Academy Stone Athletic Center.
The event is sponsored by the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Devens Common Center, Hilton Garden Inn and Great American Grill.
In 2012 the Nashoba Valley Chamber partnered with the Devens Eco-Efficiency Center to decrease the amount of waste generated during the event. With the support of the participating restaurants, more than 100 pounds of food was diverted from the trash. Unserved treats were donated to venue and security staff while food scraps were composted. This year the Chamber and Eco-Efficiency Center plan to reduce waste further. With the assistance of the Lawrence Academy, cardboard, bottles and cans will be recycled. Additionally, they have a goal to capture 75 percent of the leftover food, which will be donated or combined with organic material separated at the Hilton Garden Inn Devens for composting.
Representatives from the area's finest restaurants, caterers, gourmet and ethnic markets, wineries, brew houses and local purveyors of fine liquors will once again offer delicious samples of food and beverages. To date there are 32 vendors signed up to participate in the event. Interested vendors should contact the chamber today.
Taste attendees will vote for the "People's Choice" award, giving guests the final say as to who is "Best in the Nashoba Valley.
The cost of the event is $20 in advance and for seniors and $25 at the door. For information call 978-772-6976.

This is really cool. Great potential.
I see a new grip frame in the future.
Nice job.
This is really cool. Great potential.
I see a new grip frame in the future.
Nice job.
Anyone interested in a modified eclipse Frame? I will have an extra for sale.
how much? is it a bolt on for an existing marker?
Curious - how much pressure are you pushing through that macroline?
Sometimes It's Good to be EVIL
We used to do this many many years ago with mags.
Run them with no back regulator during prototype and early production designs.
We also did it many times testing the JD tank regulators to see how consistent they were.
But the back regulator is not just a regulator, it's also a built in safety device. The regulator piston is designed to blow off in the case of over pressurization, such as when a tank regulator fails...
How does this modification take that into account? Or does it just simply bypass that level of safety and allow the shooter to shoot at full tank output pressure in the event of a reg failure?
lol his safety feature is the macroline only has about an 800 lb working pressure, +/- depending on the quality. If the tank reg fails, the macroline will explode.
The pressure going through the macro is probably in the 7-750psi range. Thats about what my capped valve pumpmag runs at on HPA to get 280-290 fps.
I was going for the lightest setup. I can use braided. I can use the standard back and ditch the cap. no z lock,but just don't adjust the pressure gased up. The pressure is around 800, but my gauge could be off too.
Ahh so true. Macro line is the weakest link and in a way, sort of a safety device. It will certainly blow out long before you could take a seriously over pressurized shot. Come to think of it, stainless line might be dangerous because it's working pressure is up to 3000psi and burst pressure is higher still, making an unregulated shot be very scary. This just makes me want to make sure my tank regulator is the best on market if using such a mod.
Is there no way to make this work while still using the original reg back? I guess it would make it longer, but making the back end piece you have there work with the stock reg back screwed into it. I dunno...just want the second reg and since it's right there....

I used to run a nitroduck megareg. Loved that thing. Heavy. But great setup. I always had constant fps on my rt no matter where tank pressure went. Since the velocity drop deal came up in this post I've got to ask. I just got a flat line to use on the same old rt. Will I see any velocity fluxuation with the single flat line reg vs the old dual reg nitroduck? Cuz if so I may have to shop for another megareg.
I can still use the entire original valve and eliminate the cap. I am currently using this setup for the purpose of weight reduction.
I just got the shipment back from XMT and I will be selling these 2 grip frames to fund another project... Crossing fingers for a 1 piece cap'd aluminum valve!
Video Posted...
Seems to only work with full version for those using phones.
I played today and had one of my best days in ~17 years, with this setup. Not one paint break in gun and everything functioned great. I am very happy with the McFly mod!
Wetwrks -- Please let me know your thoughts when you get it set up. The sear rod was cut a little too short, but I installed the top trigger stop to fine tune. awesome!
Bumping for the fun of it, umm umm umm for the smell of it...

While the NucleoSpin RNA II Kit and Vendor Q's RNeasy Mini kit provide similar yields of total RNA, Competitor Q's RNA isolation kit leaves genomic DNA contamination.
RNA was purified using the NucleoSpin RNA II Kit or Competitor Q's RNeasy Mini kit. 10 µl of purified RNA was treated with RNase A and loaded onto a 1% TAE agarose gel to reveal any contaminating genomic DNA. Genomic DNA was completely eliminated from samples purified with the NucleoSpin RNA II kit, but RNA purified with the RNeasy Mini kit showed evidence of genomic DNA contamination.
If you want to isolate high-quality RNA, it is important to prevent degradation of the RNA and to eliminate genomic DNA. Unlike Competitor Q's RNeasy Kits, NucleoSpin RNA II includes the following:
Without these components, RNA purified with Competitor Q's RNeasy kits exhibits significant DNA contamination.
With NucleoSpin RNA II, you can detect transcripts from very small numbers of cells—in this example, RNA was isolated from as few as 10 HeLa cells.
Total RNA was isolated from the indicated number of HeLa cells with NucleoSpin RNA II (elution volume: 40 µl). RT-PCR reactions were carried out with 3 µl of total RNA and beta-actin primers. The RT-PCR product was 626 bp.
NucleoSpin RNA II uses a simple spin-column procedure that is probably already familiar to you. First, cells are lysed in a buffer that inactivates RNases (which are present in virtually any biological material) and creates appropriate conditions for RNA to bind to the silica membrane. After lysis, homogenization and reduction of viscosity are achieved by filtration with NucleoSpin Filter units (shredders), which are provided with the kit. Residual genomic DNA is removed by on-column digestion with rDNase, which is also included in the kit.

Demolishing Pfizer complex a long, complicated process
Groton - Groton is bracing for a loss of more than $2 million from its tax rolls with news that Pfizer plans to demolish its former research headquarters, known as Building 118.
Just when that will happen remains unknown and depends on how quickly the pharmaceutical giant can acquire a demolition permit and get to the work of tearing down the 750,000-square-foot complex off Eastern Point Road.
Pfizer says that will happen in the next few months, despite what is typically a lengthy process to prepare the site and assure building officials that all of the necessary building codes are met and safety measures are in place.
Carlton M. Smith, the zoning and building official for the City of Groton, said Pfizer has not yet applied for a demolition permit.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, however, did approve a coastal site plan review for Pfizer in September, a precursor for the permit that is required because a portion of the complex falls within 1,000 feet of the Thames River. The coastal site plan contained things such as erosion control and other measures to protect the coastline during demolition.
Smith said that Pfizer must follow relevant state building codes. The demolition plans will be reviewed both by his office and by the fire marshal's office.
By the time the permit is issued, Smith said, an applicant would have worked out plans for things such as shutting off utilities and asbestos mitigation, if needed. In Pfizer's case, Smith said, that would include, for example, a plan showing how it would separate the walking bridges connecting sections of Building 118 to other Pfizer buildings.
The disconnection of utilities itself, he said, would be a large project considering "this is on a much larger scale than a single-family home." Safety inspections also would have to be performed during the process.
Town Manager Mark Oefinger said Pfizer notified town officials at the beginning of the year that they were seeking demolition contractors. He believed at the time, and still holds out hope, he said, that there has been enough interest in the complex to delay Pfizer's plans.
Oefinger said he doesn't expect an immediate loss of tax revenue and thinks it unlikely that the building will be completely gone by year's end. Since assessments for next year's grand list are completed by Oct. 1, Oefinger said, he expects the impact will come in fiscal year 2015.
The same is the case in the city, which will suffer an estimated $500,000 tax loss, according to Mayor Marian Galbraith.
Pfizer was a factor in the drop in the 2012 grand list, which dipped by 1.3 percent from 2011. Most of the grand list loss was attributed to the $46.7 million drop in personal property values, Pfizer's included, he said.
Pfizer, however, remains far and away the town's largest taxpayer with a total net assessment of $550 million. Electric Boat, the second-highest taxpayer, was assessed at $214.3 million, and Ledges Apartments came in third with a $21.4 million in assessed value.
Oefinger said it may be that Pfizer continues to pull personal property from the building, which will mean tax revenue losses. He said the last time he was at the facility, about a month ago, there still were staff on site.
Town records show the Building 118 complex of seven interconnected buildings is valued at $123.7 million, with an assessed value of $86.6 million.
Despite the sting of Wednesday's announcement, made doubly painful because there was an interested buyer, Oefinger said he understands it must costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to maintain the complex.
"This doesn't make any sense from an economic development perspective, but at the end of the day, it is Pfizer's building," Oefinger said. "For whatever reason, the cord has been pulled."
With the time it will take to line up the permits to start demolition, "Why not go back to the table?" Galbraith asked.
"I still hope they'll reconsider. We have a legitimate developer that hasn't walked away," she said. "They are not just eliminating a building, they're eliminating a opportunity for this region."

There have been some exciting archeological discoveries in Israel in the last little while. Among them is the famous inscription found at Tel Dan in the northern Galilee featuring the earliest extra-biblical mention of the "House of David." This was a major nail in the coffin of the biblical minimalists, who believe that much of the early history of ancient Israel before the latter part of the first millennium was prefabricated.
Other exciting discoveries include the remains of what may be David's palace. This massive structure was discovered near the crest of the ancient City of David, where the earliest settlement of Jerusalem was found, which has been dated to the dawn of civilization, circa 3000 BCE. Although the identification of this monumental structure as David's palace has yet to be confirmed, it shows that Jerusalem was an important centre and not just a provincial backwater that was the inconsequential home of some insignificant chieftain in the Judean Hills.
A few years ago, an inscribed potsherd dating to the late 11th or early 10th century BCE was found at Tel Qeiyafa, just outside Jerusalem. What made this small piece of broken pottery so important was that the inscription on it supposedly dealt with such humanitarian issues as protecting widows and orphans. Such matters would become a hallmark of Judaism's ethical and moral base. It has been postulated that this inscription may have been part of a coronation decree dating to the accession of Saul. To see these issues emerge so early is amazing and promises to have a major impact on the study of the development of the ethics and morality of ancient Israel.
The last discovery is especially dear to me, since I had an indirect role in helping to bring it about. This happened when Prof. Michael Chazan, head of the University of Toronto's Archaeology Centre, told me that the centre, with the backing of U of T's Centre for Jewish Studies, headed by Prof. Jeffrey Kopstein, was about to participate in a major new excavation in the Galilee. He asked whether I was interested in helping him out. I jumped at the opportunity.
Thanks to the Canadian Institute for Mediterranean Studies and some generous former students from the Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto, we adopted the dig as an ongoing project of the Jewish/Italian Friendship Project, which I helped to initiate with both the Italian and Israeli consulates in Toronto. What was even more exciting was the fact that the excavations at Tel Huqoq produced the most exciting find of the past season: an inscribed and illustrated synagogue mosaic floor dating to the late Roman/early Byzantine period, in the fourth to sixth centuries CE.
On March 14, we will be bringing the charismatic head of the excavations, Prof. Jodi Magness, to Toronto for a free, illustrated lecture, 7:15 p.m., room 400, Alumni Hall, at U of T's St. Michael's College, 121 St. Joseph St.
I look forward to seeing you there.

One Florida School Protects Students, While Another Forbids GSA
Even with statistics confirming a ninety percent harassment rate in schools today, two Florida school boards chose polar opposite approaches toward LGBT students. Only one voted to make its schools safe.
On December 11, 2012, the Orange County School Board voted to update their non-discrimination policy for teachers, staff and students to include sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. Like many other Florida schools, Orange County chose to make changes in order to ensure full equality and equal protections for all their students and staff.
But not all schools say they are ready to make the critical step forward. Currently, the Lake County School Board is facing national criticism over their less-than-friendly treatment of LGBT students and their fight to start a gay/straight alliance in their schools.
"I think the board sent a very unified message," Orange County School Board member Rick Roach told EDGE. "We want ALL of our teachers to be talented, well respected and feeling like they are part of the team. For our kids, we want all kids to attend school and get their human needs met in a safe, accepting, challenging environment."
The six to two vote was taken after a lengthy and sometimes-heated hearing in which a crowd of over two hundred students, parents, community leaders and opposing conservatives alike waited anxiously for the board's final decision.
Supporters of the policy change argued that it was a basic civil rights issue. Those opposed argued that the board was imposing moral choices on their families.
In the end, equal-rights group Equality Florida says it was School Board Members Daryl Flynn and Nancy Robbinson who stood firm and championed protections for the LGBT students and employees at OCPS. Board Members Joie Cadle, Rick Roach and Kat Gordon as well as Chairman Bill Sublette also made a stand and voted in favor of the policy change.
"I think our students and staff now feel they are truly supported and respected," said Board Member Daryl Flynn. "Should they feel threatened, bullied or disrespected in any way due to their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, they are able to go to school authorities without fear of reprisal."
Michael Farmer, the Statewide Field Coordinator of Equality Florida, insists that equality in school is not a political agenda but rather a critical issue in which young lives may hang in the balance.
Statistics show that LGBT students as well as students who are perceived by their peers to be gay are the most common targets of harassment at school. Nine out of ten LGBT students frequently experience verbal, physical or sexual harassment in their schools. They are more prone to health risk behaviors including smoking, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, criminal activity, sexual risks and running away from home. LGBT high schoolers have a dropout rate nearly three times the national average, and are more likely to attempt suicide.
"If kids can't get support in school, it could mean the difference between whether they live or they die," Farmer told EDGE. "Everyone should be entitled to the same school experience. It's the job of the school board members to ensure that all students, including the LGBT students, are offered the same experience, education and chance to be successful citizens."
Religious Conservatives Oppose Lake County GSA
Unfortunately, in spite of the overwhelming statistics and the millions of Americans who are in support of equality, religious conservative groups such as the Florida Family Policy Council continue to actively fight against any progress and they boldly feed incorrect information to the public in an attempt to stir up misguided fear of the LGBT community.
In a December article published by the Orlando Sentinel, John Stemberger, a Volusia County attorney and President of the Florida Family Policy Council, wrote that allowing transgender students in Orange County to have a "legal weapon" of retaliation against teachers and principals who discriminate against them is a "foolish decision." He also wrote that classrooms have enough distractions without adding another layer of drama and nonsense that will do nothing but detract from educating students.
After losing his fight with the Orange County School Board, Stemberger refocused his anti-LGBT student mission on the Lake County School Board that is currently facing national criticism over what some say is their less-than-fair treatment of LGBT students.
Last year the Board rejected a student's request to form a Gay-Straight Alliance club at Carver Middle School. The student, 14-year-old Bayli Silberstein, wanted to form the group so students could combat bullying together and have a place where they could be themselves.
Dexter Foxworth, the Director of the Zebra Coalition, agreed with the importance of safe-haven support groups in school.
"Schools with inclusive anti-bullying and harassment policies, as well as a presence of school clubs like Gay-Straight Alliances are factors related to safer schools, better school performance and higher student aspirations," said Foxworth.
Silberstein applied again this year and although the Board has yet to make an official decision regarding her group's re-application, the school board made national news when it was reported that they are considering eliminating all extracurricular clubs in order to prevent Silberstein's Gay-Straight Alliance from forming.
Middle Schoolers Too Young for Gay Club?
Lake County Board Member and chiropractor Tod Howard, who describes himself in the Right Side of the Lake blog as "a very independent Republican who is very close to the South Lake Tea Party," said that the LCSB policy must comply with the Equal Access Act, which defines secondary schools as grades 7-12. He also said there is a legality issue because their middle schools are grades 6-8 and he feels their policy should be based on both law and what is best for the students while being age-appropriate.
Howard believes that Lake County schools should have a limited open forum/club policy for high school, which is where he says he would welcome a Gay-Straight Alliance group. But he believes middle school students having equal access to all clubs would be troublesome.
"Students in middle school run the gamut from some still believing in Santa Claus to some being sexually active," said Howard. "I support curricular-only clubs for middle schools."
LCS graduate Aurelia "Rei" McDonald doesn't agree with the LCSB's rationale.
"The people who state that a GSA is not age-appropriate conversation for middle schoolers need to realize that supporting a group and telling them they're okay has nothing to do with the physical actions they fear. It isn't encouraging bad behavior and it isn't discussing anything the age group isn't already familiar with," she told EDGE. "Middle schools and high schools are the places to put gay support groups. That's where they're needed so desperately. That's where kids are sorting themselves out."
But Howard feels that a community outreach is a better avenue.
"Most teenagers don't have their own transportation, so a GSA provides them the peer-to-peer support during or after school hours," said Michael Slaymaker, president of the Orlando Youth Alliance and founder of the Orlando Anti-Discrimination Ordinance Committee, which worked with the OCPS Board. "Allowing a GSA to formulate is a positive step. If they don't have the personnel or leadership to facilitate one, they should provide the information to the students on where to find assistance and help. If we need to branch out to Lake County, we will."
Orange County Board Member Daryl Flynn told EDGE that allowing GSA groups and including the LGBT community in non-discrimination policies and practices are ways to improve the learning environment for our LGBT youth.
"Establishing an atmosphere of trust, acceptance and tolerance is key in making all students feel they are valued as individuals and protected," she said. "We have to help our LGBT students know they can talk to someone and discuss any fears or anxiety they may be experiencing."

Hey Savanna. I've always had a problem with premature
ejaculation. I was wondering what I could do to "hold
my horses" and not cum too soon.
A.Ok so here it goes, and I am serious! You asked and I will tell you, but it's no fun and games! You need to listen and obey! Ready? The truth is, I too have the problem of premature ejaculation, but, being a girl, I can get away with it. I don't have to worry about loosing my erection because I can spit on it and keep going. You, my love, do not have this luxury so you must listen to me. Look into tantric sex. It may seem annoying at first but it really works. Seriously, I understand wanting to come when I damn well want to come but let us both go on a tantric journey to try to control that urge. Trust me it will not only beneficial for our partners but for you and me as well because our orgasms will be so much more memorable and satisfying. My husband has the most cum in the history of the world. Now you can choose to believe me or doubt me because it is not documented on film and at the risk of totally exposing myself and my marriage I will tell you that this fact is both the answer to your concerns and your wife's downfall. I say that because as much as I enjoy the extreme amount of cum he has I also have to have quite a lot of sex before it builds up to that orgasm. I am not talking all at once either. For me, and I'm sure most of you women reading this will agree,our own orgasms are amazing but if we don't give one to our man we are left feeling empty and disappointed. For the sake of your man however, we need to help him out and let him stop before he comes and then allow him to do it again a few hours later. Eventually he will learn to last longer and build up that luscious amount of juice that will squirt out all over you.
I know that you, as a man want to satisfy your woman, but don't forget our orgasms only goes so far because we want to satisfy you. It's uncomfortable for everyone involved if that happens too quickly so whether you are alone or with your partner try to stop and think about mowing the lawn or baseball or anything it takes to "hold your horses." After some practice it wont be so difficult and will prove to be well worth the hard effort.
Dear Savanna: My lady and I LOVE our sex life! We have one
minor problem of not being able to do the dog though. I knew the first
time it was a problem as she yelped and asked not to do that
again. Turns out I'm a bit too long for the available
space. I really miss that feeling of those lovely lips giving
my boys a little kiss every time it goes in. Any ideas to offer
that will help me/us keep from hitting her cervix?
A. Hi honey, um, the truth is that I too hate doing the "dog". I mean I do it because I am a people pleaser but the whole time I am praying to myself that it be over, even to the point of wishing he would shove it in my ass! I have cum that way maybe once or twice and that was only because I was rubbing my clit underneath like crazy. However, I always offer myself that way to my man as a token of my love or passion. I only complain if a) he tries every time and b) if that is the only way I can make him cum.
I remember making a man with a rather large penis cum and then just because it was still a little hard but not so big and feeling macho, getting on all fours and offering my pussy. What a mistake! Within a minute that thing was full blown again and he was cramming it so far in and it hurt like hell. I took it as long as I could and then I escaped and immediately started sucking it. I guess what I am saying is to your Lady and that is, "Honey, sometimes it sucks and it hurts but we, as women, have to do what we have to do to please our man." And now to you, "Honey, it sucks sometimes and I know you want what you want when you want it but remember your girl's pussy is a tight, tiny little thing and have some respect. Do it for a little bit to start, then change positions before she has to beg you or save that for the very end when you are ready to cum and give it to her good before spraying your hot cum deep inside her or all over her lovely back." Relationships need work and compromise and we never want to hurt each other but a little pain sometimes can be so good and goes a long way!
Hey Savanna, got a silly question here: what's the best
way for a guy to get laid in one night (at a party) WITHOUT
being blunt?
A. Please don't be blunt! Crazy but true, a woman always goes for, even if it is only mental, the one man who does not give her the time of day or night. The one who makes her wonder if he is gay or not is the one who catches her eye; hence why so many best friends of women are gay men. As difficult as it may feel, do not pay attention to the girl you want. Unfortunately, I am one of those women who wants the one who does not want me. I guess I am a glutton for punishment but I can't help it. Ok, how else? There is actually a way to make a woman think you are not paying attention to her when you really are. Keep your eye on her until she catches it or thinks she does, then immediately look away. She, being the curious, self conscious little bitch she is, she will need to know, by nature if she was imagining it or if you were in fact looking at all. Play this with her and do not let her know you ever looked or care to. When she looks your way, go so far as to look past her as if you see a friend or someone you know who just happens to be behind her. It's crazy but we women are always curious about the ones who don't want us. When you do happen to inch closer and have conversation forget about all those pick up lines and be truthful. What really attracted you to her? Her smile? Her blouse? Her hands? Her eyes? Don't be afraid to expose yourself but please, whatever it is, tell it from your heart and eyes and not what you think she wants to hear. This takes courage but we women see right through the bullshit pick up lines. Of course I have fallen for, "Wow your babies are going to be amazingly beautiful." But don't do it! We may melt for a moment and then realize what has just happened. Don't be afraid to be vulnerable but never desperate. Oh and no matter what happens, do not and I repeat DO NOT call her the same night that she gives you her number! Even if it was a magical first evening don't do it! If that woman gets home and sees the blinking light on her answering machine she will be so gutted when she pushes play and it's your sorry ass saying how wonderful it was to meet her. I too hate playing games but absolutely wait a day and a half or two days before calling her. If she calls you, well either you're golden or she's a psycho bitch. You'll soon find out.Hey, best of luck and remember confidence! You're the shit! She wants you and you could care less!!!
XJayXmanX, 21 M
My partner and I love having sex and she loves it when I lick
her pussy, but I hate the taste. What can she or I do to help it taste better?
A.Gosh what a loaded question! Meaning, I want my women to taste like a woman and not like blueberry lube or condoms or babywipes! A healthy pussy tastes like, well, nothing or maybe a little salty if she worked out or I don't know how to explain it, but a woman. I mean, I admit I taste myself all the time just because I am always self-conscious because of young fools growing up who compared women's privates to fish! How aweful to have that in the back of your head in the heat of the moment? Some women's vaginas has a stronger odor than others but it should never smell or taste tainted. It is a man's duty, as difficult as it may seem, to inform his partner of anything that is stinky or lumpy or just not right. I don't care how inexperienced you are if you stick your finger in a woman's vagina or ass and feel a lump then please tell her. I mean maybe you are not that familiar but we as humans have the sense to detect something that just doesn't feel right. As far as the taste, gosh, I don't know, I have had women that taste like nothing and that is almost stranger than a pussy that tastes too strong! The PH level in a woman's vagina changes throughout the month and the taste is often stronger at different times but in my experience most pussys do taste stronger when I first go down on them and then lighten up as the juices start flowing so please suck it up until you really get her going. If, however, the taste is too strong and funky, she probably has some feminine issues that need to be addressed. Communication is the key to any relationship and also any great sex life and I urge you to talk with her about her taste. There are tricks of the trade that I have learned that supposedly make us taste better. Eating strawberries for one are supposed to make the woman's pussy juice sweeter and the men drink pineapple juice before a scene because it makes their sperm sweeter tasting and smelling. Why don't you taste my pussy and you can compare notes?
Dear Savanna,
My wife and I are trying new things in the bedroom and are wondering if you have any fun ideas. My wife loves to do more than one position every time and is into a lot of kink. Any help is appreciated!
A. How fun you just asked this question because I just finished filming a Vivid movie called MILF, well I think you what that is, but anyway it should be released very soon. The script cracked me up because it was so much fun imagining doing those things with my husband. Most of my fantasies come from things I've done on camera and want to take home and do in ways that feel good with out worrying about camera angels and open penetration. Where do you live? Well never min, that's not important, but I ask because I live in the heart of Manhattan. I have this lovely telescope that I use in my apartment and what I realize is that no one is having sex! I look and look and they're just not. Anyway, this movie was about a couple that moved into Milfwood where naturally, hello it's porn and everyone next to them and across from them are having sex. These two characters are unpacking boxes and wearing army fatigues and literally hunting each other around the house with night goggles and beeee guns, that just sting a little. They even had a bear head. Ok so that is a little extreme but not really. Ever play hide and seak? Well imagine that in army combat, enemy against enemy! What a way to take out your aggressions and have the ultimate fuck, captive fuck that is, with ropes and everything. Sounds silly and the kids might be a problem, but if you can get away with it you will feel like teenagers or younger and when you are finally captive the torture will be pure pleasure! Ok so perhaps this is extreme, so how about highheels and some sex toys and a Savanna movie? Works for me!
Dear Savanna,
I was wondering if you could tell me–since you have all your
"privates" pierced–is it your hood or your actual
clit that is pierced? I had my hood pierced over a year ago,
and have heard since then that although it hurts a lot more,
and is difficult to do, an actual clit piercing is much more pleasurable. I was wondering if this was true.
A. A year ago I would tell you all about how wonderful piercings are but right now my nipples are killing me because I just finished a movie where I was a good Catholic girl who wouldn't have them and so I kept taking them out and putting back in after the scenes. Now they are hurting and I am over it. Please don't get your clit pierced. I mean why mess with a good thing? Also, if you are going to be sexually active with more than one partner I fear they hold and attract germs that will cause you problems. I hate to be the bearer of bad news when it comes to something you are fantasizing about but that is where I am at, at this point in my life. I will do one photo shoot hanging from them with chains to document having them but then I am taking them out. I found the piercing irritated my clit too much and was not a pleasurable sensation. Visually yes, but absolutely not physically.
Since joining Adult FriendFinder I've found that there's a lot of no-strings-attached sex going on. I like the idea of it, as it
suits my lifestyle, but my question to you is: how can I avoid confusing sexual needs with emotional (love) needs? Sometimes it's really hard to have a great fuck with a guy and then just move on!
Hello Savanna,
My wife and I saw you in a movie with Julian and it is clear
he has quite the cock. Does size matter to you when you
are shooting a movie or having sex in your personal life?
A. Funny you should ask because I a firm believer that size does not matter if you are man enough to realize the truth and enhance your skills in other directions. Instead of dwelling on insecurities of size or lack there of, how about facing facts in a positive way and investigating the areas which will prove to be your strong and confident points? Julian has a beautiful cock but to be honest with you there was never that much chemistry between us so regardless of the size of his dick the sex was never really heartfelt and true. It may look good on camera but if you look real closely you will see that I am not wet at all! What really matters is the chemistry and connection between two people. Size is secondary and should never be an issue.

When we last left our beloved ursine protagonist the Cub, he had just suffered through an emotional but enlightening evening. We pick up his story the next morning, when he awakens to find his father gone but a note next to him:
Good morning young Cub! I hope you slept well. I'm sure you were hoping this note was from your father, but alas, this is the Owl speaking. He's not one for emotional words, as you know. But he did want me to tell you that he bids you farewell and sends you his unconditional love.
Now before we get to the task at hand, I also want to say I'm sorry I didn't fess up last night that I speak fluent English. While I admit part of me was just messing with you, I also think my words had more impact when I spoke my native tongue - didn't you? But okay, mostly I was just messing with you.
So anyWHOO...rest up and relax today, for as soon as the sun sets tonight (at 10pm), you must embark on your journey posthaste! While I know your ultimate goal is to find your father again, your immediate task is to unite with your true love (I told you last night who that was). She is somewhere in this forest waiting for you, and you have until sunrise (6am) to get to her.
But be careful. The forest is a dangerous and tricky place to navigate. Here are some ground rules you must abide by:
- You can move north, south, east, or west, but not diagonally.
- Each move in any of these directions takes you half an hour.
- You must keep moving - you cannot occupy the same spot for two consecutive moves.
- The forest is full of enemies and other obstacles you must avoid:
- Trees - Trees are stationary. You cannot move onto a spot with a tree.
- Eagles - Believe it or not, an eagle can kill you in one fell swoop. You must avoid them. Eagles move in a straight line as indicated by the green arrows. They also move one square per half hour (including the diagonal eagle). Unlike yourself, eagles are able to traverse trees.
- Vultures - You must avoid them as well. Vultures move in a circular motion, as follows: Two squares north, two squares west, two squares south, then one square to the east. If by then they haven't found you, they will disappear before reaching their original starting point. Like the Eagles, Vultures are able to traverse trees and move one square per half hour.
- Spurned Female Cubs - Perhaps most dangerous are your three spurned loves. They must be avoided at all costs. In fact, you cannot get within one square north, south, east, or west of any of them (diagonal is okay). They may move in a straight line (at the same speed as yourself), or remain stationary, as indicated by a green arrow or a lack of one, respectively.
- You may pass Eagles, Vultures, and Spurned Loves in transition between squares, but not on a square itself. For example, if you are in a square directly to the west of an Eagle, and the Eagle is traveling west, it is OK if you move east while the Eagle moves west, thereby crossing the Eagle. You cannot however end up in a square that is occupied by an Eagle.
If you survive the perils of the forest and reach your true love in time, the forest will speak to you and tell you where you must go in the next stage of your journey to reunite with your father, as follows:
- The forest will make 6 utterances during your journey.
- The first four will come at midnight, 2am, 4am, and 6am, respectively.
- The 5th will be spoken in code throughout the first 4 hours of your journey.
- The 6th will be spoken in code throughout the last 4 hours.
If you find the correct path, you will have your answer*. However, if you go astray, the wilderness shows no mercy. You will perish.
Oh and one last thing - I hope you deciphered my reply to your third question last night. For if you don't initially head in the direction I instructed, you will never hear the words of the forest and you'll be lost forever (my instruction applies only to your first move)! Now rest up and prepare for your overnight trek.
Good luck and Godspeed, dear Cub. I am rooting for you.
Yours truly,
The Owl
So puzzlers, back to the real world here (or at least back to SoSG). It's your task to help the Cub carry out the above. Here is the layout of the forest as he embarks on his quest at 10pm (that's him in the center square):
Hint 1 (9:35am): there are actually two previously used devices needed. A hint for one, which was used last year, can be found "in time."
Hint 2 (11:40am): the first device requires conversion of computer-speak to people-speak. The second device requires finding the correct url.
Hint 3 (2:51pm): the Cub's first move is mandated by the Owl. His next 4 moves are determined by where he has a safe move. The rest is a combo of safety and beating the clock.
Hint 4 (3:48pm): have you ever seen a two-toned, pastel-colored forest before?
Solution: click here.
Puzzle Rules: The answer to the puzzle is a place. Comment freely in the thread, but if you have the solution, please don't give it away to everyone in the comments section. Instead, do the following:
- Email us with the place the Cub must go to find his father. And please include your screen name somewhere in the email; and
- Post a comment simply saying you have emailed your solution attempt. I may not be able to reply to your original email promptly, so please be patient and check back on the comment thread for the latest news; I may confirm correct answers there.
- As a Grand Slam Puzzle, this one is worth 150 points.
You have until midnight PT tonight to submit your answer. Good luck!
*a device used in several previous puzzles will also be needed to translate the forest's words.

Dear Ella,
I've been working in the same company for almost five years. I like my job and the people I work with. I hate my boss, and I think he hates me. He doesn't treat me like he treats the other employees in my department, and there's blatant favouritism, which makes for a very uncomfortable environment.
For example, he never says good morning to me, and a smile is out of the question. I get chastised if I'm even one minute late, yet I've seen others come in late and he doesn't say a word. He never chit-chats with me like he does with my colleagues. Sometimes I feel like a leper in this place. The other employees are very cordial and nice to me, and we all get along great until "he" walks into the room. Then everyone starts sucking up to him, and it feeds his ego.
I feel it's unfair, but this is a secure, paying job and I have a lot of bills to pay. I don't have the luxury of leaving just because of a personality conflict. I don't know if it's a sexist thing or a jealousy thing. I don't really want to complain about him to the head of the company, because that will just make things worse.
What should I do?
Hate My Boss
Dear Hate My Boss,
Since you spend most of your day at work, contentment in the workplace is important. Usually a problem with a boss is much more than just a personality conflict.
Perhaps you need to look at the bigger picture – look at yourself. Does your performance match your colleagues and, therefore, allow for you to have the extra perks? Do you work as diligently, ethically and efficiently as other employees? Are you clear, open, reliable and trustworthy? Does your self-interest trump your concern for others? Are you respectful, or do you roll your eyes or sigh when you are not happy?
Don't just gloss over these questions. You'd best think about them long and hard, and be very honest with yourself if you really want to find a solution.
Even if you honestly don't feel like you're guilty of any of these, others' perceptions may be different than your own.
Of course, it's possible that it's as simple as your boss just doesn't like you, but that's unlikely to happen for no reason, and I assume he had something to do with hiring you?
If you want to improve your situation, you'll need to change your attitude first. Make up your mind to give it all you've got and be the best you can be. Walk in on time, or even a little early, with a smile on your face. Look your boss in the eye and say good morning first. Work harder and smarter. Anticipate what he and your team need and stay on top of it. Don't kvetch and complain. Be proactive and put the good of the company before your own gain.
If you truly give it all you've got and still have a problem with your boss, you have nothing to lose by requesting a private meeting and confronting him. Maybe there is something you're missing, but prepare yourself to hear things you may not be aware of, or may not like.
Most problems can be fixed with hard work and honesty. Good luck.

Subject: U.S. Helsinki Commission to Hold Hearing on Egpyt
Hon. Christopher H. Smith, Chairman
Hon. Benjamin L. Cardin, Co-Chairman
For Immediate Release
November 10, 2011
WASHINGTON—The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) announced today the following hearing:
"From Arab Spring to Coptic Winter: Sectarian Violence and the Struggle for Democratic Transition in Egypt"
Tuesday, November 15, 2011
2:00 p.m.
Room 210 Cannon House Office Building
Please join the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe for a heaing that explores the nexus between sectarian violence and democracy.
On Sunday October 9, 2011, 25 people were killed and more than 300 injured when the Egyptian military attacked a peaceful group of Coptic Christians protesting the burning of a church in Aswan. In what has been deemed the "Massacre at Maspero," referring to the location of the demonstration, witnesses say the army fired on the demonstrators with live ammunition and plowed into the crowd with armored vehicles. The military denied the use of live ammunition and claimed that their soldiers were attacked by an armed mob. The military has arrested at least 28 people, almost all Copts, including prominent blogger Alaa Abdel Fattah, and brought them before military prosecutors. The hearing will focus on violence perpetrated against the Coptic Christians in Egypt, the implications of the events for that community and the current Egyptian leadership, and prospects for the consolidation of democracy in Egypt.
Witnesses Scheduled to Appear:
Mr. Michael H. Posner, Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, Department of State
Ms. Dina Guirguis, Egyptian democracy activist and attorney and member of the Egyptian American Rule of Law Association (EARLA)
Mr. Samuel Tadros, Research Fellow, Center for Religious Freedom, Hudson Institute
Dr. Michele Dunne, Director, Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East, Atlantic Council
The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent agency of the Federal Government charged with monitoring compliance with the Helsinki Accords and advancing comprehensive security through promotion of human rights, democracy, and economic, environmental and military cooperation in 56 countries. The Commission consists of nine members from the U.S. Senate, nine from the House of Representatives, and one member each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.

Shortline tax credit extended as part of fiscal cliff dealWritten by Mischa Wanek-Libman, editor
The shortline industry began the New Year with good news: Extension of the railroad track maintenance credit.
The 45G tax credit has been extended until Jan. 1, 2014, as part of the "fiscal cliff" deal passed in the Senate and then in the House of Representatives. The credit is retroactive and applies to expenditures paid or incurred in taxable years beginning after Dec. 31, 2011.
The tax credit was originally enacted in 2004 and creates an incentive for shortline and regional railroads to invest in track rehabilitation and improvements by providing a tax credit of 50 cents per dollar spent on those improvements. Prior to the current deal, the credit, which is capped based on a mileage formula, expired on December 31, 2011.
Richard F. Timmons, president of the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association issued a statement saying in part, "Shortline railroading is one of the most capital intensive industries in America. Shortlines operate almost 50,000 miles of track and preserve the first and last mile connection to factories, grain elevators, power plants, refineries and mines that employ over 1 million Americans. While competing highway infrastructure is maintained by federal and state governments, shortline infrastructure is preserved by small companies. The 45G credit allows small railroads to improve railroad infrastructure that benefits the public by using more of what they earn, rather than giving it to the government.
"This investment keeps millions of additional heavy trucks off of the publically maintained highways each year, reducing wear and tear, pollution and congestion and preserves jobs and economic development opportunities. Section 45G allows the market, not government bureaucrats, to prioritize infrastructure investment decisions. The Railway Tie Association estimates that when the 45G credit is in effect, between 500,000 and 1,500,000 additional railroad ties are installed each year. These steel rails and wooden ties are made in America with pride and are investments that cannot be outsourced abroad.
"The 45G success story is the story of reducing federal taxes and interference with small businesses and allowing those businesses to invest more of what they earn in ways that benefit all Americans."
