Seniors oust Overton 16-3
The Gothenburg Melons traveled to Overton last Wednesday and came home with a 16-3 win.
Gothenburg's game against Ogallala Friday was suspended after three innings (see box). The Melons finished the weekend with a loss to Broken Bow on Saturday.The last regularly scheduled game for the Melons was last night (Tuesday) in Ogallala.
Nine-run second inning
The Melons hit around as seven batters reached base in the first inning. Ben Tiedemann was hit by a pitch sending Ross Ostendorf home for the first of four runs.
After Justin Larson retired the Overton hitters in order, Gothenburg used its first inning to spark a big second inning.
Chase Ostergard singled to right field scoring Larson, who reached third base after a walk, a steal and throwing error put him at third.
With two batters being hit by pitches, Jake Matthies and Joseph Darling both had RBIs extending the Melon lead.
Darling reached first on a fielder's choice, and after a passed ball stood on second. Ostendorf hit a double to center field sending Matthies and Darling across the plate.
Back-to-back doubles from Ostendorf and Larson drove in three more runs. Another scored on an error and Tiedemann's RBI single brought the scoring to an end.
That was more than enough support for Larson who dominated the hosts except for a three-run second inning. Overton combined three hits with a Gothenburg error for its only scoring rally of the game.
In the third, Overton managed two runners reaching third on Gothenburg errors, but the threat was contained with a grounder to first finishing their attempted rally.
Gothenburg managed three more runs in the fourth and fifth to go ahead 16-3. Overton did not have a big inning of their own as the game ended in five innings.
Larson pitched a complete game and struck out eight Overton batters.
Last inning nightmare
Broken Bow used 10 runs in the seventh inning to come from behind and beat Gothenburg, 19-12.
The Melons trailed Broken Bow by five runs after a rally that included a three-run home run in the third.
Gothenburg responded with a run of its own when Ostergard drew a walk, advanced on a single by Levi Walker and scored on a ground ball to second by Trey Kolbo.
Two walks and a base hit to center by Broken Bow put the Melons in a deeper hole, 7-1.
In the bottom of the fourth consecutive bases-loaded walks to Trey Kolbo and Tiedemann scored two Melons before a wild pitch and Rodriguez single plated two more runs.
The Melons closed the gap, 7-5.
Every time Gothenburg threatened, Broken Bow would answer. The four-run fourth by the Melons was countered by two more runs in the top half of the fifth by the visitors.
Leadoff walks and a mishandled ball in center field once again extended Broken Bow's lead to four, 9-5.
That lead quickly evaporated. Jake Matthies hit a double to center, followed by an Ostendorf infield single.
Larson hit a three-run home run to dead center field bringing the Melons within one, 9-8.
Kolbo drew a walk and advanced to second on a Tiedemann single to right. Rodriguez, singled to left for his second RBI and tied the score at nine apiece.
After Broken Bow went silently in the sixth, Matthies started the bottom of the sixth with a single into left center.
A walk and a hit batter loaded the bases when a ball back to the pitcher forced Matthies out at home.
With one out and the bases loaded, an error in the infield scored two Melon runners and Gothenburg led for the first time, 11-9.
Unfortunately for Gothenburg, Broken Bow played better when they were behind, scoring 10 runs in the top of the seventh with the help of six walks, a hit batter and several passed balls.

Unit 1 Pre-Assessment
Lesson 1 of 19
Objective: Students will be able to demonstrate what they already know about the content of Unit 1.
Big Idea: In my school, setting the curriculum requires me to measure where to place the starting line.
Assessment Administration
When administering a Pre-Assessment, I use the following protocol:
- Students should sharpen pencils as soon as they walk into the door. I will also have sharpened pencils ready and available for those students who do not have a pencil or break the lead of their pencil while taking the assessment.
- Students should remain silent at all times
- Students must raise a hand to obtain permission to speak or get out of your seat
- Students must be honorable and do their own work
- Students who finish early should raise a hand to turn in the assessment
- After completing the Pre-Assessment obtain a book to read quietly
- The assessment may not leave the classroom
In my classroom, the Unit Pre-Assessment is the same as the Unit Assessment. Therefore, I DO NOT go over the the results of the Pre-Assessment with my students.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Lesson Closure
After all of my students have completed the pre-assessment, I will ask them to reflect on the following questions:
- How do you think you performed on this assessment?
- What question did you find to be most difficult on this assessment?
- What question did you find to be easy on this assessment?
During this discussion, I try to establish an encouraging tone with my students by letting them know that it is okay if they struggled with this assessment because they haven't yet been taught the standards presented on this assessment (MP1). I try to motivate them by letting them know that in a couple of weeks they will be able to compare how they performed on this Pre-Assessment with their performance on the end-of-unit Assessment.

I have big trouble figuring out what's the exact place in player input script, where player speed retrieves those +/- values from Engine.Input (most notorious case is Walk key pressed which seems to trigger some really well hidden slowdown and fallsafe script for our player). My aim is to disable that influence completely and calculate speed myself entirely (stealth mode/regular mode/sprint mode). Any coder around here to give me helping hand here? Thanks!

Markets shaken by US budget fears, Mideast clashes
LONDON -- Markets remained under pressure Friday ahead of the start of budget discussions between President Barack Obama and congressional leaders and as investors fretted over a military escalation in Gaza.
Japanese stocks, however, enjoyed solid gains on hopes that elections next month may lead to more stimulus measures being enacted, in the latest attempt to get the stuttering economy moving.
Over the past couple of weeks, a combination of factors has turned sentiment in the markets sour. As well as ongoing worries over Europe's debt crisis, investors have grown worried about the state of the U.S. public finances and rising tensions in the Middle East as Israeli troops massed near Gaza -- a possible signal that a ground invasion might be imminent.
In Washington, Obama and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives have to thrash out a budget deal soon to avoid the so-called `fiscal cliff' at the start of next year -- a series of automatic tax rises and spending cuts that will come into force if an agreement is not reached. Some economists estimate that could cut around 5 percentage points off U.S. growth, plunging the world's largest economy into recession and seriously derailing the global economy.
"Investors will be hoping that there is enough collective desire to reach agreement, but it is almost inevitable that discussions will be protracted and go down to the wire, which is likely to keep markets erratic and volatile over the coming week," said Rebecca O'Keeffe, head of investment at Interactive Investor.
"Investors will also be hoping that the focus of attention is not diverted by events in the Middle East," she added.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was down 0.6 percent at 5,642 while Germany's DAX fell 0.5 percent to 7,006. The CAC-40 in France was 0.4 percent lower at 3,370.
Wall Street was poised for a weak opening too, with Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures 0.4 percent lower.
In the risk-averse trading environment, the dollar garnered some support through its supposed status as a safe haven financial asset. The euro was 0.4 percent lower at $1.2736.
Trading in Asia was similarly subdued. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.2 percent to 21,159.01 but South Korea's Kospi fell 0.5 percent to 1,860.83.
Benchmarks in China fell, with the Shanghai Composite Index closing 0.8 percent lower at 2,014.72 while the Shenzhen Composite Index fell 0.7 percent to 800.20.
Japan's Nikkei 225 stock index jumped 2.2 percent to close at 9,024.16, rallying for a second straight day on expectations that the opposition Liberal Democratic Party may win elections next month and pursue more aggressive stimulus policies than the current leadership. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda dissolved the lower house of parliament Friday, paving the way for elections in which his ruling party will likely give way to a coalition government.
"Equity markets in Japan have taken heart from the decision to call a snap election, with the LDP opposition promising more aggressive support for the economy," said Interactive Investor's O'Keeffe.
Japan's exporters, whose fortunes are linked to the yen's valuation, were buoyed by the prospect of a changing of the guard. Mazda Motor Corp. soared 7.1 percent. Nissan Motor Co. jumped 5.1 percent. Nikon Corp. surged 7.2 percent and Canon Inc. gained 5.8 percent.
The yen has also recovered its poise after two days of selling, with the dollar down 0.2 percent at 81.10 yen.
Oil prices tracked equities lower with the benchmark New York rate down 29 cents at $85.16 a barrel.

Animal rescue groups that focus on particular cat breeds are a great adoption resource. Follow-up counseling is often thorough, and fees are usually minimal.read more
Do you have good cheer, a hearty laugh and a love of felines? Then the Cat Adoption Team (CAT), a nonprofit cat shelter in Portland, Ore., has a volunteer opportunity for you.
CAT, which cares for 400 to 600 cats and kittens on a daily basis, relies on the generosity of the public and the hard work of volunteers, especially during the holiday season. That's when some volunteers are called upon to don a red suit and hat, a white beard and jingle bells before posing for pictures with kitties at a busy local pet store. It's all for a good cause, since $5 from each picture-taking session with kitty is donated to cats in need. "We are fortunate to live where people really do demonstrate their support for both cat and dog shelters," says Kimi Christiansen, CAT's development manager, who started out as a volunteer.
You may be surprised at how you can turn some of your own holiday activities -- such as baking cookies, shopping and even socializing -- into fundraising for your local shelter.
How to Help During the Holidays
Spreading Holiday Cheer
Thanks to picture-taking with Santa, an annual holiday auction called Whisker Wonderland and an online giving campaign sponsored by a local weekly newspaper, CAT expects to raise more than $150,000 this holiday season. They couldn't do it without help from the community.
Elizabeth Wasserman, a Washington, D.C., area-based freelancer, has been writing about pets, among other topics, for more than 15 years. Her love of dogs, in particular, was handed down through the generations from her great-grandfather, Eric Knight, who wrote the book Lassie Come Home in the 1930s.
Cats reach full skeletal development when they are this old:

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said prior to camp that he might name a starting quarterback two days into practice or two weeks before the first game.
It's looking like it will be closer to the latter. Sumlin addressed his quarterback competition following Tuesday night's practice (the Aggies' fourth of camp) that was partly shoved indoors because of a thunderstorm – and offered insight into the progress of each.
Sumlin on the presumed starter, sophomore Jameill Showers: "Jameill has got an extremely strong arm and an extremely quick release. He's got the ability to throw balls into tight coverage. He's got a cannon, but he still has the ability to move around. He's (also) strong in there – he's 215 pounds or something like that. He's put together."
Sumlin on freshman Johnny Manziel, the presumed No. 2 at this point: "Johnny is a creator. He can throw it, and I think he's become a better passer in the last six or seven months, and since the spring. He's worked on his motion and from what we saw in the spring he's able to move around and extend plays, and create some other offense after that. In the spring that got him in trouble some, too. What he's worked on is his ability to sit in there a little bit more and make decisions. The key between those two guys is decision making."
Sumlin on sophomore Matt Joeckel, twin brother of standout left tackle Luke Joeckel: "He's probably thrown some of the best deep balls of anybody in camp. He's more of a pocket guy, and he knows that. He's a bigger guy and not a run-around guy, and that plays to his strength. That's probably why he's such a deep-ball thrower. He'll sit in there and let it rip."
Sumlin on true freshman Matt Davis: "All of the quarterbacks have their positives. Matt is just young. A lot of things are happening for him (on the field). As a passer he's not where he needs to be, but as an athlete he's probably better than all of them. And that's saying a lot because those first two guys are pretty good athletes. His strong suit is if it's not there he's going to take off and try and make something happen.
"We're happy they're all here. They're competing and helping each other, and it will shake itself out here in the next week or so."

I spent the most of last week doing nothing but fishing with the folks in Brunswick County, riding surf to pier and jumping from boat to boat with old friends and new. I barely slept but it was well worth it.
It is the height of tourist season now and while the fishing is not what I'd call spectacular the fishermen are, locals and visitors, and good times and colorful stories abound.

Will I be helping a student to sin if I bring him his law exam results?.
It is permissible to bring the exam results to a law student because studying law is not necessarily going to lead to him working in a haraam field. It may be studied by one who wants to know man-made laws and compare them with sharee'ah laws, or to work as a lawyer within the guidelines of sharee'ah and win people their rights and support those who have been wronged.
Based on that, there is nothing wrong with helping this student by bringing the results to him, so long as it is not apparent that he wants to study for a haraam purpose.

Justin Bieber has been ordered to sit for another round of deposition questions as part of an assault lawsuit filed against the superstar by a photographer in Miami, Florida.
Snapper Jeffrey Binion is seeking damages from the Baby hitmaker amid allegations he was choked by the singer's bodyguard, Hugh Hesney, and forced to delete images he had taken after Bieber took issue with being photographed outside a recording studio last summer (13).
The 20 year old sat for a four-and-a-half-hour deposition about the incident in March (14), but video footage which later emerged online showed the pop star behaving badly throughout the meeting, refusing to answer questions relating to his on/off girlfriend Selena Gomez and even appearing to storm out of the session.
Binion's lawyer filed a court motion a week after the disastrous deposition, asking a judge to force Bieber to return to Miami to continue his testimony, and now the request has been granted.
According to TMZ.com, the pop star will have to answer all questions relating to the paparazzi and his relationship with Gomez, who had been present during other altercations between Bieber and the photographers who follow his every move.
A date for the new deposition has yet to be set.

Updated 12:20 p.m. -- Democrat Sen. Jay Rockefeller will not seek a sixth term in 2014, giving Republicans a chance to pick up a Senate seat next cycle.
The news comes after Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito said that she would seek Rockefeller's seat.
Rockefeller, 75, held a press conference to announce his decision this morning.
A descendent of famed oil baron John D. Rockefeller, the West Virginia lawmaker's family legacy is rich with politics; New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and Arkansas Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller were his uncles.
Rockefeller moved to West Virginia in the 1960s. He held the governorship for eight years before winning election to the Senate in 1984.
He easily won his last race in 2008, defeating his GOP opponent by a 64%-36% margin. But given West Virginia's more conservative tilt -- at least in presidential elections -- winning re-election in 2014 would have been far from guaranteed.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee said in a statement that Rockefeller's departure represents "a strong pickup opportunity" in 2014.
"Voters next year will have a clear choice between a Democrat who will be a loyal vote for President Obama and Harry Reid as they try to kill West Virginia's coal industry and bankrupt our country with reckless government spending, versus a Republican who will serve as an effective check-and-balance on their liberal agenda and work to get our country's economy back on track," NRSC executive director Rob Collins wrote.
NBC's Carrie Dann contributed to this report.

Green-collar Jobs in Newark, New Jersey
In Newark, New Jersey, as part of the New Energy for America plan, a weatherization program is creating jobs and helping low-income residents save money on their energy bills.
"I know I've been hearing a lot of talk on TV about green jobs, but in Newark, we're not just talk, we're actually doing it," says Newark resident Perette Hopkins, a green-collar job trainee of Laborers Local 55 and the Garden State Alliance for a New Economy.
The first workers under the program were trained in weatherization techniques—from reducing drafts via insulation to caulking windows and doors to making the hot water heater more effective—and then applied their knowledge to update 30 homes of senior and low-income homeowners.
"The challenges that we have right now are challenges to our moral imagination," says Newark Mayor Cory Booker. "Can we see a way out of no way? Can we turn obstacles into opportunities? Barriers into blessings? Pitfalls into pools of potential?"
If green jobs initiatives like the one in Newark are any indication, then the answer is yes, we can meet these challenges and build a better future.

TBILISI (Reuters) - French-born actor Gerard Depardieu broke the law in Georgia by visiting the country's breakaway Abkhazia region and meeting separatist leaders without warning national authorities, an official said on Wednesday.
Ketevan Tsikhelashvili, deputy minister for reintegration in the Caucasus state bordering Russia, said the action was punishable but signaled he was unlikely to face arrest.
"We think he does not know what's going on in Abkhazia," she said.
The 64-year-old star of films such as "Green Card" and "Cyrano de Bergerac" was granted Russian citizenship by President Vladimir Putin in January after criticizing a planned 75-percent tax on millionaires in France.
Russia recognized the independence of Abkhazia and the separatist region of South Ossetia after waging a five-day war with Georgia in August 2008. Georgia and most other countries do not recognize them as independent states.
Depardieu also raised eyebrows by visiting Russia's Chechnya region in February and embracing strongman leader Ramzan Kadyrov. Human rights groups have accused security services in Chechnya of carrying out kidnappings, torture and extrajudicial killings to try to quash an Islamist insurgency. Kadyrov denies the charges.
France's best-known actor, whose lifestyle and outlandish behavior has made more headlines than his film career in recent years, was bitterly criticized for abandoning his homeland when he received a hug and a passport from Putin.
But Depardieu, who owns a vineyard in the Loire valley, has said he did not leave for tax reasons. He has been filming a thriller called "Turquoise" in Moscow and Chechnya with British actress Elizabeth Hurley.

The Nvidia GeForce GT 430 is the first mainstream Fermi GPU for the PC using the same Fermi architecture in the GTS 450, GTX 460, GTX470 and GTX 480. The Fermi architecture was designed to run next generation DX11 titles and Blu-Ray 3D.
The GeForce GT 430 is considered as the replacement of the GTS 240 GPU. Its 40nm GPU is clocked at 700MHz, comes with 96 Cuda cores 2GB DDR3 memory running at 1800 Mhz and a 128-bit memory interface. The result is a memory bandwidth of 28.8 GB/sec and a Texture Fill Rate of 5.6 billion/sec.
GeForce GT 430 is specifically designed to power today's digital media PCs, providing enough power for photo and video editing, Blu-ray 3D, mainstream gaming, and the next generation of GPU-accelerated Web browsers. The card also supports CUDA Technology, PhysX technology and comes equipped with an HDMI 1.4 output.
NVIDIA believes that they've made the ultimate HTPC card, and that's the line they're going to be using to sell it. However, the company claims that it could also be used for gaming. Specifically, compared to the GT240, the new GT430 scores approximately 1200 points higher in the Vantage (Pro ) benchmark and also is more powerful in popular games such as "Crysis" and "Lost Planet," according to the company.
Below you see a comparison among the GT 430 with some other Fermi -based solutions. Fermi series. Looking at the specs, we can easily understand that the GT 430 series are a replacement of the GT 240. At $80, the GT 430 also goes directly up against the Radeon HD 5570 (DDR3 & GDDR5) and the Radeon 5670. However, all of these cards are faster in gaming performance, and that's why NVIDIA has chosen to presents the GT 430 as the optimum HTPC performer. But let's wait to see some benchmark figures first before drawing any conclusions.
Meet the Inno3D GT430
Today we will present the Inno3D GeForce GT 430 graphics card.
The Inno3D GT 430 retails in the following small package:
The bundle includes just ROM discs with drivers and not any cables. The half-height single- slot card is equipped with a small heatsink:
DVI-D, D-Sub and of course HDMI v1.4 ports are provided. The card is powered by the PCI-e slot so there is no need for any external power:
Below you see the card's basic specifications.The GPU core runs
at 700MHz, the memory at 900MHz and the Shaders at 1400MHz. The Inno3D GT 430 runs at stock speeds leaving us with some hopes that it could be easily overclocked:

Brit helmer Mike Newell is attached to write and direct an untitled feature about the mysterious death of former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko.
Project is set at Warner Bros and is being overseen by London-based Warner VP of production Ollie Madden.
Newell, who most recently directed "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" for Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, is developing the pic with scriptwriter David Scarpa.
No talent is attached yet to the project, which is said to be in an advanced stage of development.
Project is based on the book "The Terminal Spy" by New York Times' London bureau chief Alan Cowell.
The film rights deal for the book was Madden's firstacquisition when he joined Warner Bros. in January 2007.
Litvinenko's death remains shrouded in intrigue. The ex-Russian spy, who was poisoned in 2006 by polonium-210, personally accused then-Russian President Vladimir Putin of being behind his murder as he lay dying in a London hospital bed.
Story became one of the most mysterious and perplexing crimes of the post-Cold War era, triggering an international investigation and diplomatic tension between British and Russian officials.
Initially, authorities thought Litvinenko was poisoned at a sushi restaurant, but alternative theories have since emerged.
Cowell's book, published by Doubleday in the U.S., has been translated into numerous languages.
Helmer Michael Mann was also developing a rival Litvinenko project with Litvinenko's wife Maria at Sony, though that appears to have stalled in recent months.

Yesterday, Google opened its ebookstore for business. The search giant joins Apple and Amazon (and Barnes & Noble) in a fast-growing field. Electronic books will never completely replace paper books, but they're going to make up a sizable portion — and maybe even the majority — of the market sooner than you think.
Naturally, more and more GRS readers are moving to e-books. In fact, I've had a couple of people ask me about them recently. For example, Peggy wrote last week to share her experience:
What do you think of Kindle books? Do you have a Kindle?
Our family members are all avid readers. We live overseas and move every three-four years. Books are a major weight factor for us, so we started downsizing during our last move and kept only those books we enjoy re-reading or which have sentimental value.
This year we bought several Kindles, and I have to say, I really like it for its portability and that we can travel on R&R and have all our reading material in one small 'container'. But when we retire and settle down, it might lose some of its attraction. I also wonder how it will hold up over time…but I guess it's too early to tell about that.
I'm a die-hard bibliophile. I love the look, feel, and smell of an old paperback. I used to have several thousand books, though I sold many of them to pay off debt. Still, I have a modest library, and I love it. I cannot imagine a world without books.
Having said that, I did own an Amazon Kindle. I bought one in early 2009, and used it for just over a year. When I bought my iPad, I sold the Kindle to a friend. I switched to the Kindle app instead. (For those who don't know, you can download the free Kindle app for iPad, smartphone, and computer, which means you can read e-books from just about any web-enabled device.)
Checking my Kindle account, I see that in the past two years, I've downloaded 54 books. Twelve of these were free, but the rest cost about $10 each. If I had to guess, I'd say that about half of my book dollars are now spent in the Kindle store.
The pros and cons of e-books
I agree with Peggy's assessment: It's great to be able to have many books in a small "container". It's awesome, really — like living in the future. To the extent that e-books help me reduce clutter, I love them. But I'm not wholly sold on e-books yet for one very simple reason: cost. Buying e-books usually isn't cost-effective. Not for me, anyhow.
First, you can only read an e-book on an electronic device. That means you have to own the electronic device, which itself costs money. Admittedly, most folks own an iPod, a smartphone, or a computer, which means they don't have to pay anything new for an e-book reader. But still, you're using a device costing hundreds of dollars to read a book. And that device generally isn't as portable and/or convenient as a paperback.
Second, e-books aren't cheap. In fact, depending on what you read, they may actually be relatively expensive. Perhaps to protect the paper-book industry, publishers have set what seems like obnoxiously high prices for most e-books.
Here's my assessment after two years of buying e-books:
- E-books are great for new releases. For new books, the electronic version is almost always the cheapest way to go. At a friend's house the other day, I noticed he'd paid $29 for the latest John Grisham book. $29!!! That's insane. That John Grisham book costs $16 at Amazon, and the Kindle version costs $10. In fact, most e-books cost between $10 and $12. When the cost savings is combined with the space savings, e-books are the clear winner for new releases.
- E-books are okay for classics. Anything that's in the Public Domain (published before 1923) can generally be downloaded to your e-book reader for free. Sometimes the formatting is goofy, and there usually isn't any supplemental material (like essays and notes), but you do get the books at no cost. (Searching for free Kindle books? Here's Amazon's list of free eBook collections, and here's their best-sellers in the Kindle store, including free books on the right.) Of course, these books can usually be had for cheap (or free) in their dead tree versions, so there's not a huge savings here.
- E-books suck for most titles published between 1923 and, say, 2008. Books from the past century are still priced between $5 and $10 in electronic editions. This is ridiculous. You can borrow these for free from your public library. Or you can go to a used bookstore, a garage sale, or a thrift store to pick them up for less than they cost in digital format. Plus, tons of popular books aren't even available electronically. (A real-life, typical example: Cry, the Beloved Country costs $12 on the Kindle. A brand-new paperback copy from Amazon? $9. The mind boggles.)
Finally, this is both a pro and a con: With electronic books, you can download something you want to read right now. Buying a book for the Kindle is an almost instantaneous process. The morning we left for Europe, for example, we were seated on the plane just before takeoff, when I decided I wanted to read Eat, Pray, Love. In the two minutes before we were required to switch off electronic devices, I was able to download the book. It really is that easy. But, as I say, this is both a pro and a con. It might lead some folks to buy too many books on impulse.
End notes
What about the reading experience itself? Some people prefer e-books to regular books. I don't. I tend to be a synoptic reader — I read several books on a subject at once. And with non-fiction, I'm often a non-linear reader — I jump around from chapter to chapter. Plus, in all books, I like to dog-ear pages and take notes. E-books suck at all of these things. Yes, you can add bookmarks and take notes, but it's a tedious process.
To summarize:
- The part of me that hates Stuff loves e-books.
- I use the Kindle app on my iPad often (it resides in the taskbar), especially for new releases. In fact, as soon as I finish this post, I'm going to spend a couple of hours reading Jayber Crow on the iPad.
- But I think e-books are expensive.
My advice? Unless you're an avid reader of new books, I'd avoid the Kindle itself. Stick with the free Kindle app on a device you already own. And be careful choosing which books you purchase. Stay frugal!
Do you read e-books? What do you think? Do you find them convenient? Do you find they save you money? Do they cost more than the printed page? If so, are you willing to pay the price?

By Matthew O'Toole, Christopher Kelly and David Hahn February 7, 2018, 5:33 PM ESTLaw360 (February 7, 2018, 5:33 PM EST) -- With the development of advanced distributed ledger technology and coding comes the potential for deployment of "smart contracts." These programs autonomously effectuate and enforce contractual rights and obligations without the need for further human intervention. Strictly speaking, a "smart contract" need not be a legal agreement at all; fundamentally, it is computer code that automates performance of an already existing contract. Yet many smart contracts — such as the "Ricardian Contract" and other "smart legal agreements" — may constitute self-effectuating contracts in software, potentially in a...

Another View -- Mike Biundo: Where is Shaheen's gas price outrage now?MIKE BIUNDO
July 27. 2014 7:36PM
SIX YEARS AGO, Jeanne Shaheen was quick to attack then-Sen. John Sununu on the cost of gasoline. This was a time when New Hampshire consumers were paying around $4 a gallon. In television ads and on the stump, Shaheen argued that the senator deserved blame for not doing more to bring prices down.
Her supporters even held protests at his offices to highlight her position. One of her supporters went so far as to dress up as a gas pump to follow Sen. Sununu around at events claiming he wasn't doing enough to "help the middle-class" deal with fuel prices. A creative way to highlight an issue? Possibly. Completely hypocritical in hindsight when reflecting on her first term? Absolutely.
Despite their outrage in 2008, these same Shaheen supporters are nowhere to be found in 2014 despite gas prices currently climbing to $3.90 per gallon in some parts of our state. While they were quick to criticize former Sen. Sununu, they haven't been demonstrating outside Sen. Shaheen's offices or following her around in costumes at her events. If the issue is that her supporters have misplaced their gas pump outfit over the years, I would be happy to provide them with a new one, but I doubt that's the case.
Sen. Shaheen is not much better than her supporters when it comes to hypocrisy on the issue. Now that she is in Washington, you don't hear her talking much about how those on Capitol Hill are letting down New Hampshire families with their inaction to reduce fuel costs. Her press conferences in front of gas stations are long gone. Her expensive commercials are a thing of the past. Her scripted talking points and incessant blaming have faded from memory. However, with Granite Staters becoming increasingly tired of higher costs at the pump, they deserve answers as to why she has gone silent on such an important issue.
You really can't blame Sen. Shaheen for going into hiding with the record she has, but it is important to point out that six years ago last week, Jeanne Shaheen released an ambitious (although misguided) plan to lower gas prices. Considering this anniversary and her incessant finger pointing years ago, it is only fair to remind her that we are in no better shape now than we were when she insisted $4-a-gallon gasoline was Sen. Sununu's fault.
In typical liberal fashion, her plan singled out "Big Oil" and promised that she would fight to decrease our dependency on foreign fuel sources. Yet, when given the opportunity to do something about it over the past six years, she opposed projects such as the popular Keystone Pipeline and has refused to support legislation that would expand drilling for new oil within the United States and along the Continental Shelf. She was even caught at a recent event in Portsmouth saying that she would support an increase in the federal gas tax.
Almost everyone agrees that we would be better off by reducing our dependency on Middle Eastern oil. However, what Sen. Shaheen fails to realize is that an all-of-the-above plan to do that must include increasing our domestic exploration.
Let me give her another tip. While this should go without saying, if she still wants to decrease gas prices, then she might want to reconsider her belief that hiking that federal gas tax is a good idea.
While we shouldn't have expected much from Jeanne Shaheen considering her puddle-deep proposal when she was on the stump, it is a shame that she wasted her entire first term in the U.S. Senate doing nothing to reduce gas prices for her constituents. Six years ago she was quick to attack a former U.S. senator for what she called a lack of action to reduce gas prices. What does she have to say for herself, considering we are in the same position today regardless of her tenure on Capitol Hill?
In all seriousness, perhaps it is time for Sen. Shaheen's supporters to finally break out the gas pump costume. If they still have it, but don't want to wear it to shed light on her inaction, there are several Granite Staters who are fed up with paying more at the pump. I assure them that there are many of us who would like to use it to remind Sen Shaheen of their frustration with her in 2014.

Missouri is leaving the Big 12 on top.
Kim English capped a phenomenal conference tournament with 19 points, Phil Pressey added 15 points and eight assists, and the fifth-ranked Tigers beat No. 12 Baylor 90-75 on Saturday night to win their second championship in the past four years.
The Tigers (30-4), who led from start to finish, will head off to the Southeastern Conference next year savoring a title in coach Frank Haith's first season in charge.
English wound up 29 of 40 from the field in a virtuoso performance in Kansas City. Michael Dixon added 17 points, and Ricardo Ratliffe and Marcus Denmon had 15 each.
Perry Jones III led Baylor (27-7) with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Brady Heslip scored 14 and Deuce Bello came off the bench to add 13 for the Bears, who were turned away short of their first conference tournament title since 1950.

This is when a person from one clique joins another. For example, a stoner might become a jock. This is a very rare occurrence.
One of the most amazing clique jumps I saw in high school was when one of the hicks became a stoner.

There was much anticipation as the children pulled out their wooden shoes for the arrival of Saint Nicholas tonight and filled them with carrots and hay for his horse :)
We have spent the last couple of days reading some of our favorite books like the Legend of Saint Nicholas and The Baker's Dozen and of course we had to pull out our Veggie Tale movie of Saint Nicholas as well. It just wouldn't be complete without the veggies *grin*.
I've been sneakily collecting a few special books for their gifts in the morning and this year to make their gifts special I made these little wreaths with holly leaves. I just cut out a cardboard wreath shape and then used my hot glue gun to glue them all around the cardboard circle. Really easy and I think I'm going to make a bunch more for the rest of my christmas gifts :)
I just love how they turned out and now I'm off to fill their shoes with nuts and other goodies before they wake up because I know they will be up before the first light of morning. There will be no sleeping late for mama tomorrow :)

But, in order to become a word-of-mouth buzz - Zac Brown Band travelled through a journey brimmed with ups and downs. Let's take a look at its history. The Zac Brown Band is a country music band hailed from Atlanta, Georgia.
The current lineup of the Zac Brown Band comprises lead vocalist and guitarist Zac Brown; fiddler and vocalist Jimmy De Martini; bassist, guitarist and vocalist John Driskell Hopkins; guitarist and organist Coy Bowles; drummer Chris Fryar; and guitarist, organist and vocalist Clay Cook. Zac Brown is the founder of the band who was born and raised in Dahlonega, Georgia. Brown began playing guitar at a very young age but joined his father who owned a restaurant, Zac's Place, in the Lake Oconee area of Georgia. Since music was in Zac's nature so he opted for that field.
Zac Brown started his music career as a solo artist. After deciding to form a band, Zac hired John Hopkins as a bassist and Jimmy De Martini as a fiddler. The trio came up with their debut album entitled Far from Einstyne in 2004. The album received a critical acclaim. The group issued its second album, Home Grown, the subsequent year. But, it wasn't until 2008 when did the band sign an agreement with Live Nation Records. The agreement turned out to be a short-lived though. The Record-Label issued the Zac Brown Band's single, Chicken Fried. Chicken Fried was originally a score from the Home Grown album. It was, later, re-recorded and released on Live Nation Records in 2008.
In October 2008, Zac Brown Band released their next album, Chicken Fried on Atlantic Records. The album Chicken Fried peaked at # 1 on the country charts and hence propelled the band to stardom. Zac Brown Band became the first country band to occupy Number One position on the music charts. In January 2009, the band was joined by Clay Cook as a multi-instrumentalist. Zac Brown and his band took no time to release a second single, Whatever It Is. The song managed to enter Top 5 on the country charts. It was followed by the release of Toes which became the second single to reach # 1 on the country music charts.
Aside giving a hit after a hit, Zac Brown Band doesn't lag behind in live performances either. They have recently been joined by Coy Bowles on guitar and organ and Chris Fryar on drums. This new addition has added more to the ability of the Zac Brown Band to dazzle the audiences. The band has confirmed various venues as part of their upcoming tour which is bound to feature music from their latest album.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Texas Republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer acknowledged Monday that he is the lawmaker who shouted out "baby killer" during a floor speech by Rep. Bart Stupak, an anti-abortion Democrat whose vote was crucial to passage of the Democratic health care bill Sunday evening.
Neugebauer, in his third term from a solidly GOP district that includes the city of Lubbock, said he had apologized to Stupak for his outburst, which drew a rebuke from the chair during the often-rowdy debate.
Neugebauer insisted in a statement that he was not referring directly to Stupak but to the agreement that the Michigan Democrat helped work out with the White House. That eleventh-hour agreement, under which President Barack Obama said he would issue an executive order pledging that no federal funds be used for abortions, helped seal the last votes Democrats needed to pass the bill.
He said his exact words, referring to that agreement, were "it's a baby killer."
