Late long runs lift Riders over Celina
CELINA — St. Marys senior tailback D.J. Manning grabbed a blue flag with 'Go Riders' stitched in gold lettering on it and raced down the visiting sideline at Celina Stadium, leading the entire St. Marys football team in celebration of returning bragging rights back east across Grand Lake St. Marys.
Manning ran down those sidelines all night.
A senior-laden offensive line paved the way for Manning as he rushed for 335 yards and scored four touchdowns — including a pair of long scores in the fourth quarter to lift St. Marys (3-2, 2-2 WBL) to a 32-20 win over rival Celina (0-5, 0-4) at Celina Stadium on Friday night.
The 335 yards on 36 carries is the second-most rushing yards by a Roughrider running back in a single game — 31 yards shy of the school-record 366 yards Manning posted just four weeks earlier. St. Marys rushed for 344 yards as a team.
"He gets in the secondary and he's got the extra gear," St. Marys head coach Greg Phillips said.
To hear the 6-foot 180-pound senior talk about them, the touchdown runs of 85, 5, 37 and 53 yards were simple.
"The line did a great job blocking," Manning said. "They stopped us in the second half, but we kept going at it and eventually the holes opened up...There's a hole there, the line blocks it and I just run it. There's nothing else about it."
Trying to stop St. Marys' rushing game has been anything but simplistic.
Manning now has more than 1,200 yards rushing and has scored 13 touchdowns in five games this season. The blistering pace also has St. Marys over .500 this late in a season for the first time since 2009, when St. Marys began the campaign 5-2.
The game-winning run early in the fourth halted Celina's 12-point third quarter run and rejuvenated a Rider team that had missed chances early to put away the Bulldogs.
Manning broke a tackle and chugged 37 yards down the left sideline with just over nine minutes left in the game to give the Roughriders a lead they'd never relinquish.
After St. Marys' defense stopped Celina's offense on two three-and-outs in the fourth quarter, Manning sealed the game with a 53-yard touchdown run down the right sideline that sent much of the Celina fans packing for the exits. On his final score, Manning shed a tackle seven yards from the line of scrimmage, twisted away and bolted down the sideline.
"We felt like if we just kept leaning on the running game, we could break one," Phillips said. "And we knew if we got No. 25 (Manning) into the secondary, there was a good chance he was gone."
Celina entered the game giving up a WBL-worst 282 yards rushing per game. The Bulldogs failed again to stop the run on Friday.
"We continued to miss tackles," Celina head coach Jared Rolfes said after watching his team slump to 0-5 on the season despite being in the thick of all five losses. "Just missed assignments and missed tackles and not getting off blocks. It's a young team. I love our young guys, but they're young. Nothing we can change about it."
St. Marys' defense kept Celina's balanced spread attack under wraps. Celina quarterback Braden Billger finished the game 27-of-41 for 204 yards and two touchdowns, but the junior signal caller was picked off twice and never burned St. Marys deep against sophomore corners Adam Brown and Jared Knous.
"We have two sophomore corners and we felt like if we blitzed them we had those guys going man-to-man on an island," Phillips said. "We wondered if the risk was worth the rewards. There aren't many sophomores starting at corner in the WBL, but we do and we're fortunate they're playing well. They tackle well and play hard."
"I didn't think we played very well offensively," Rolfes said. "I thought we were pretty inconsistent. They were giving us things we wanted, but we were missing it early. We weren't able to run the ball as well as we liked and I probably got away from it."
Celina rushed for 20 yards on 18 carries.
Even after finding a rhythm and scoring two touchdowns in the third quarter to take a brief 20-16 lead, Celina had to use 14 and 11 plays on the scoring drives to get touchdowns.
Billger went 11-for-16 for 78 yards and a touchdown in that third quarter, but the Bulldogs never were able to get the ball downfield against a young St. Marys defensive secondary that gave a cushion and made sure tackles.
The Roughriders' start to games have been nothing short of spectacular. Manning and the Riders did it again on Friday to start the game with an 85-yard run.
St. Marys has scored first in all five of its games this season. For the second time this season St. Marys scored on its first offensive play from scrimmage of a game. Manning weaved his way through traffic on the right side of the line and bolted for the right sideline for an 85-yard touchdown that gave the Riders an 8-0 lead.
Celina tied the game at 8-8 in the second quarter on a Braelen Bader 12-yard touchdown catch.
Manning scored his second touchdown with just 28 seconds remaining in the first half with a five-yard score on third and goal. The touchdown capped an impressive 10-play 65-yard scoring drive in the late part of the second quarter. A key play to get the score was a T.J. Powell to Tre Sherman 22-yard pass play to convert a key third and five. Five Manning runs and a Dustin Fisher end around later St. Marys led 16-8 at the half.
Celina scored two straight touchdowns in the third quarter, but the Bulldogs failed to convert on either two-point conversion.
Celina marched down the field after scooping up a Manning fumble three plays into the second half. Celina's 14-play drive culminated with a Zach Hembree two-yard touchdown run. During the drive, Celina converted two third downs and got a first down on a fourth and two on a St. Marys offsides call. St. Marys led 16-14 with 6:14 left in the third quarter after Billger got stuffed trying to run in the two-point conversion near the right front pylon.
Celina took its only lead of the game late in the third quarter after Billger engineered an 11-play scoring drive that ended with a six-yard touchdown reception by Craig Welker on third and goal. The two-point conversion again failed with an incomplete pass and Celina led 20-16 to set up St. Marys' big fourth quarter.
Mitch Fowler's interception off a deflection by a Celina wide receiver allowed St. Marys to wring the final two minutes from the clock and allow its student section to stream onto the visiting field to celebrate the rivalry win.
"It's one of those rivalries," Phillips said. "It lived up to the billing for me."
St. Marys now looks to make it three wins in a row when it hosts Defiance at Skip Baughman Stadium next week. Celina will look for its first win of the season when it travels to winless Van Wert next Friday.
— St. Marys linebacker John Phillipe got St. Marys' a sack in the second quarter, throwing Billger for a two-yard loss.
— Sherman and Fowler intercepted the two passes. St. Marys moved to plus-eight in turnover margin this season after being plus-one against Celina.
— The Riders scored 30 or more points in back-to-back weeks for the first time since 2007, when the Riders posted 35 and 47 points against O-G and Van Wert.
— St. Marys also won back-to-back games for the first time since 2009, when St. Marys defeated Wapakoneta and O-G in Weeks six and seven.
— Manning missed a 33-yard field goal attempt in the second quarter .

Every year in the Las Vegas Convention Center's Central Hall, makers of flat-panel televisions display their latest advancements in display technology. It's always a riveting, entertaining experience to walk through pavilions crammed with technologies that represent the future of the living room experience.
This year was no different. Samsung, LG, Sharp, Toshiba, Sony and Panasonic all had massive presences at the show, but up-and-comers such as Haier and Hisense also attracted more attention than they have in previous years. Walking through television vendors' display areas on the CES 2012 floor is an experience that's tough to describe. We've collected 15 of the most impressive so you won't have to imagine what it was like.

The CIA and Drone Strikes
Stephen Griffin
One of the main themes of my forthcoming book Long Wars and the Constitution is that we can gain insight into the unconventional and seemingly novel "war on terror" by looking closely at the history of the cold war. This approach is especially helpful now in assessing the charges being leveled against the CIA because of the ongoing drone war being carried out in multiple countries under the auspices of the September 2001 AUMF. It is doubtful anyone is entirely happy with the results of the drone war and the civilian casualties that are its foreseeable consequences. But the drone war illustrates several things at once about the relationship between the "9/11 War" (my preferred term for the "war on terror") and the cold war.
Self-defense and law of war targetings that comply with international law are not "assassinations." With respect to the permissibility of self-defense targetings by drone, "due process" issues, and presidential power, see my ABA statement:
One of the more interesting questions is not whether self-defense targetings of DPAA (direct participants in armed attacks) is permissible, but who is a DPAA, under what circ., etc.
The use of drones by the CIA and the military in targeted killings that inevitably result in civilian deaths that in turn radicalize people against the United States is bad policy when used as extensively as is presently the case. It may be "legal" under some interpretations of U.S. law while remaining unlawful under international law norms as I understand them. Bush declined to sign up for the International Criminal Court for just this reason. We will regret this behavior and it will come back to bite us.
I share the first comment's sentiments as to the misuse of some of the term "assassinations." The text underlines the point. A killing of a political leader like Castro is different than targeting OBL. The remarks overall are interesting though I might disagree on certain points.
This doesn't change my agreement with Bruce in Maine as to the negative policy results.
Targeting for a personality strike has a long history for surveillance and killing and both destically and internationally.
Targeting for a group or signature strike also has a long history for surveillance and killing and both domestically and internationally.
Nothing new under the sun with CIA and drones. More tomorrow.
"In the first major Pakistani court ruling on the legality of the CIA's drone campaign in the country, a Peshawar High Court judge said this morning that strikes are 'criminal offences'. Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan ordered Pakistan's government to 'use force if need be' to end drone attacks in the country's tribal regions.
He ruled that US drone strikes in Pakistan constitute a 'war crime' and are a 'blatant violation of basic human rights', killing hundreds of civilians. He ordered the government to 'forcefully' convey to the US that it must end drone strikes and called on the UN Security Council to intervene."
Actually, the intelligence analysis function of the CIA was only a cover for the covert actions for which it was responsible.

Graziano da Silva meets with Botswana's Minister of Agriculture
28 March 2014 Tunis, Tunisia – FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva met today with Botswana's Minister of Agriculture Christian De Graaf, on the sidelines of FAO's 28th Regional Conference for Africa in Tunis.
Minister De Graaf thanked FAO for its support to the country through a Technical Cooperation Project (TCP) and reiterated his appreciation for having Grazino da Silva heading the Organization.
He reaffirmed his support to FAO and the Director-General. At the meeting, the Minister asked Graziano to continue with the reforms he started and sustain the efforts already made.
Both discussed the subsidies programme in the agriculture sector that Botswana is currently putting in place which include, providing free improved seeds and fertilizers with the support of private sector stake-holders support small-holder farmers.
Graziano da Silva highlighted Botswana's success in being one of the only African countries that can export livestock to the European Union.
Also discussed was the availability of free vaccinations in Botswana. The country produces its own vaccines that FAO purchases in order to support other neighboring countries.
Botswana's Minister raised the issue of Climate Change as a great challenge with which they expect support from FAO. He also noted the importance of adequately tackling trans-boundary diseases, including fruit flies.
FAO Director-General praised Botswana for taking the challenge of eradicating hunger seriously and putting it directly under the supervision of the President, who places special emphasis on youth inclusion.

At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments.

Eclipse Series 36: Three Wicked Melodramas from Gainsborough Pictures
Quote: Release Date: 9 October 2012
Synopsis: During the 1940s, realism reigned in British cinema—but not at Gainsborough Pictures. The studio, which had been around since the '20s, found new success with a series of pleasurably preposterous costume melodramas. Audiences ate up these overheated films, which featured a stable of charismatic stars, including James Mason, Margaret Lockwood, Stewart Granger, and Phyllis Calvert. Though its films were immensely profitable in wartime and immediately after, Gainsborough did not outlive the decade. This set brings together a trio of Gainsborough's most popular films—florid, visceral tales of secret identities, multiple personalities, and romantic betrayals.
Collector's Set Includes:
- The Man in Grey (1943)
- Madonna of the Seven Moons (1945)
- The Wicked Lady (1945)
The Forgiveness of Blood
Quote: Release Date: 16 October 2012
Synopsis: American director Joshua Marston broke out in 2004 with his jolting, Oscar-nominated Maria Full of Grace, about a young Colombian woman working as a drug mule. In his remarkable follow-up, The Forgiveness of Blood, he turns his camera on another corner of the world: contemporary northern Albania, a place still troubled by the ancient custom of interfamilial blood feuds. From this reality, Marston sculpts a fictional narrative about a teenage brother and sister physically and emotionally trapped in a cycle of violence, a result of their father's entanglement with a rival clan over a piece of land. The Forgiveness of Blood is a tense and perceptive depiction of a place where tradition and progress have an uneasy coexistence, as well as a dynamic coming-of-age drama.

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Quote: Release Date: 23 October 2012
Synopsis: John Schlesinger followed his Academy Award–winning Midnight Cowboy with this sophisticated and highly personal take on love and sex. Sunday Bloody Sunday depicts the romantic lives of two Londoners, a middle-aged doctor and a prickly thirtysomething divorcée—played by Oscar winners Peter Finch and Glenda Jackson—who are sleeping with the same handsome young artist.

Quote: Release Date: 30 October 2012

#1, Rosemary's Baby is an A+ classic, but I would offer the following. When was the last time you have seen it on TV. It's never on, so unless someone has tipped you off to it, it's easy to miss. It's 40+ years old and honestly non of the cast has been relevant for some tome. Sure. Mia was married to Woody, but no one has cared for more than a decade. The director won an Academy Award about a decade ago, but would be sentenced for life if he ever stepped on US soil.

The chancellor cautioned that increasing the number of students by 9,000 in 10 years would not be easy. Such growth would require, among other factors, new academic programs, successful completion of the current campaign to raise funds for scholarships, and significant new facilities beginning with the planned Science and Technology Building, he said.
The trustees devoted most of the special called meeting to discussions of ways to increase university enrollment while at the same time raising academic standards. The University of North Carolina General Administration has projected an enrollment boom of nearly 50,000 additional students system-wide in the next 10 years, with most of the growth coming in the second five years. General Administration projections put ECU's enrollment at 23,700 in 2008.
Eakin said that forecast by the GA is based on a model that with small changes at the beginning yields major shifts at the end of the decade. "None of the numbers that we're using should be considered to be scientifically determined," Eakin said.
"They are simply projections. "No one knows what's going to happen in 10 years," he said. Vice Chancellor Richard Ringeisen (Academic Affairs) and Vice Chancellor James Hallock (Health Sciences) outlined for the Trustees several undergraduate program additions, enhancements and revisions that could attract additional students to the campus.
The proposals, all of which would have to be approved by the faculty, included: a school of information sciences and technology, reorganized and expanded programs in communications, a program in coastal sciences, enhanced teacher training, a bachelor of science program in allied health sciences, and a program in engineering technology. Eakin cautioned that the programs discussed with the trustees were neither guaranteed nor exclusive. Other programs explored in recent discussions have included sports management, transportation and pharmacy, he said. The faculty and the deans must be centrally involved in proposing, developing and approving new programs, he said.
Donald Neal (Geology), vice chair of the faculty, told the trustees that the faculty has worked "long and hard to achieve doctoral status." He said that it is the hope of the faculty grow stronger programs on this foundation to attract even better faculty and students.
"Our contributions to the strengths of ECU come from the quality of our programs," he said. "If we build a strong, positive image of ECU, the students will come," he said. The university will grow, but that growth must be a managed growth, he said.
"It all comes down to image and the ability to market this image to the world," Neal said. "The faculty are ready and willing to do their part." Gene Rayfield, chair of the board, said the trustees want to aggressively pursue increased enrollment and increased standards at the same time. He suggested that the trustees may hold similar day-long meetings to consider growth strategies in health sciences and in athletics.
Trustee Robert Ward said East Carolina should be the "university of choice." "let's work on building quality programs," he said. "The students will come." Eakin said that administrators will return to the board at the March 11-12 meeting with a more-complete report on enrollment growth.

By Bill Cotterell
TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - The Florida Senate voted unanimously on Tuesday to ban texting while driving, sending the proposal to likely passage in the House of Representatives.
"It's become an epidemic," said Senator Nancy Detert, a Republican who has been trying for five years to pass the bill. "This needs to stop."
Detert said Florida is one of only five U.S. states that does not currently have any restrictions on texting behind the wheel. She said public opinion polls show 89 percent support for the ban.
"They see the beauty of it," said Detert. "We don't need facts and figures; we see it, driving to Tallahassee."
The bill would make texting a "secondary violation," meaning a police officer would have to see a driver doing something else wrong to pull a driver over. Usually, Detert said, that would be drifting in and out of traffic lanes.
A first offense would carry a $30 fine and a second or additional texting incident within five years would be double the fine and add three points against a driver's license. A driver who accumulates 12 points in 12 months would face a 30-day suspension of his license.
Supporters of the legislation said they were more interested in educating young drivers than in punishing those using hand-held electronics. Drivers could still text while sitting at a red light or while pulled over on the road shoulder.
Detert's bill is supported by a wide coalition, including the AAA motor club, the Florida Parent Teacher Association, medical and insurance associations and Florida sheriffs and police chiefs. It sailed through three Senate committees without a dissenting vote and got a 36-0 endorsement by the full Senate.
A companion bill by Republican House Representative Doug Holder is pending on the House calendar. It also is endorsed by three committees, with only one member opposing it.
Text messaging is banned for all drivers in 39 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Virginia-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). In addition, novice drivers are banned from texting in six states.
Talking on a hand-held cellphone while driving is banned in only 10 states, led by California and New York.
While the IIHS does not take a position on the legislation in Florida, spokesman Russ Rader said research shows that legislation to ban texting while driving has so far not had the desired impact on car accidents. "Unfortunately the bans have not reduced crashes," said Rader.
That was perhaps because bans are now so well publicized that offenders are hiding their phones from view on their laps; an even more dangerous practice, he said.
In several states crash rates had actually gone up after texting bans were introduced, he added.

Here we have good ol' Hubie and Bertie, trying their best to play Daffy and Porky against one another.
Too Close For Combat
Uploaded by Martiangirl
ha. I hear Michael Dorns voice in there.
Meh.It still isn't funny.
Michael Dorn was one of the regular cast members on the show. Whenever Mars was featured, you could always look forward to Dorn voicing the Martian centurians.
While there certainly were a few clunkers, I found "Duck Dodgers" to be a highly enjoyable show, especially after it's rocky first season start. And although some shows are plagued by thick lines and bland art direction, many episodes (such as this one) feature some really great animation and expressive drawings. Not to mention Alasky and Bergen really did a fantastic job voicing Daffy and Porky (or Dodgers and the Cadet if you want to get picky.)
Anyone looking for another stand-out Dodgers episode needs to catch "The Curse of Castle High" the next time it airs on Boomerang. Great homage to the old Universal Frankenstein.
This is a great episode.
Joe Alaskey gets better and better recreating Mel Blanc's voices....
That blew man pickle.
The drawings are nice though.
Comon Thad, that's a little juvenile. Can you at least explain why you didn't like it? I think you hold unfortunately high expectations when it comes to anything new involving these characters. I'm a stickler for something to at least have a little respect for what made the classic WB stuff so great, but nothing is really going to capture that spirit. Duck Dodgers is certainly better than Baby Looney Tunes or Loonatics, and a good handful of episodes - on their own merits - are actually really, really good.
Or maybe I'm just saddened that someone of your reputation around here would describe anything in such an immature way.
(I'm not trying to flame or knock Thad in any way, folks. I'm just saying what's on my mind. For his work on his own blog, as well as over at TTTP, we owe Thad a lot of thanks.)
"Not to mention Alasky and Bergen really did a fantastic job voicing Daffy and Porky (or Dodgers and the Cadet if you want to get picky.)"
They do a wonderful job but there talents are wasted on this garbage. The show in general is just incredibly lazy. There is no sense of timing, the music is awful (minus Tom Jones's Thunderball-esque title song),the jokes mostly come from stupid dialogue, the animation is extremely dull, and the characters are little more then talking heads. I whish the WB whould just let the Looney Tunes rest in peace and just keep releasing the classics on DVD.
"Duck Dodgers is certainly better than Baby Looney Tunes or Loonatics"
To be quite honest with you, that's like saying "oh this peice of crap is better then that peice of crap".
Maybe "blew man pickle" is harsh, but that's about all the reaction I could muster for it.
What's wrong with it?
For starters, how about the outrageously stupid idea of Hubie & Bertie being hired hitmen?
The bad timing, the bad voices (sorry guys, but I think Joe Alaskey does a very poor Daffy)... The drawings and colors are fine though. And it's just a damn talking head-fest. I love Spike & Tony's work, but this flies in the face of certain noisy blogs that artists are the only ones who can write good cartoons.
I always thought it'd be more clever to do a series based on "Duck Twacy"... At least you wouldn't have to make up a bunch of villains or load it with random cameos. C'mon, who wouldn't want to see a Pickle Puss cartoon?!
Maybe they didn't go with a Duck Tracy series because they already kind of attempted that with the "Pluck Tracy" parts in Tiny Toons (which were predictably awful). Also, kids eat that space age stuff.

State Bank of India (BSE:SBI), www.statebankofindia.com a public sector bank, is the largest bank in India.[1] SBI accounts for almost one-fifth of the nation's loans.[1]
Besides personal and corporate banking, SBI is also involved in NRI (Non Resident Indian) services through its network in India and overseas. The bank has 21 subsidiaries and 10,186 branches. SBI was recognized as the best bank in India in 2008 by The Banker magazine of The Financial Times.[2]
Banks across Asia are looking to shore up their balance sheets as they prepare for a tougher business environment amid a global economic downturn. SBI, which had no direct exposure to sub-prime mortgages, has said that it would still need to raise USD $2-4 billion capital to boost its Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio, but whether it would be done through a rights issue or other means has not been finalized.[3] Tier 1 capital is a core measure of a bank's financial strength. It is composed of core capital, which consists primarily of equity capital and cash reserves.
SBI offers banking services as well as an array of financial services which include Mutual Funds, Credit cards, Life Insurance, Merchant Banking, Security Trading & Primary dealership in the Money market. The Bank is actively involved in non-profit activity called community services banking apart from its normal banking activity.
Associate banks
There are six associate banks that fall under SBI, and together these seven banks constitute the State Bank Group. They are:
SBI is the only Indian bank that figures in Fortune's top 100 banks. Its 11,000 branches and 5,600 automatic teller machines give it a reach throughout the length and breadth of the country; its work force of 200,000 dwarfs all other banks in India (its nearest competitor is Punjab National Bank, which has around 56,000 employees[4]).[5] It is also the second largest bank in the world, measured by the number of branches and employees.[6]
SBI has entered into strategic agreements with banks, insurers and other companies. Insurance Australia Group (IAG) has signed a $170 million joint venture agreement with the State Bank of India (SBI) to establish a general insurance company in India.
SBI will become the first public sector bank in India to enter the custody services sector. State Bank of India (SBI) and Societe Generale Securities Services (SGSS), part of Societe Generale Group, have announced a joint venture which will offer custody and related services in India. The new company, SBI SG Custodial Services, will be based in Mumbai and offer a range of services to both foreign and domestic investors and clients, covering custody, depository, fund administration, registration and transfer agent services. The joint venture will leverage SBI's strength in the Indian financial sector.[7]
India is a preferred destination for private equity funds in real estate. SBI has planned to capitalize on this opportunity by teaming up with Australia's Macquarie Group for a $2 billion infrastructure fund, and with an affiliate of Unitech Ltd, the country's second largest publicly traded real estate company, to float a private equity (PE) real estate fund.[8]
First Quarter Fiscal 2011 Results[9]
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, State Bank of India reported operating profit increased year-over-year by 66.97%. Net Profit for Q1 FY2011 increased to Rs. 2914.20 crores from Rs. 2330.37 crores in Q1 FY2010, representing growth of 25.05%. Net interest income increased by 45.35% in Q1 FY11 over Q1FY10 by 4.30%. Interest expenses on deposits decreased by 11.85% during Q1 FY11 through strategic shedding of high cost bulk deposits. Interest expenses have come down despite deposits increasing by 6.78%. Interest income on advances increased by 8.62% year-over-year driven by growth of 20.74% in advances.
Interest earnings from Investments increased by 3.08%. Cumulative net interest margin improved significantly by 88 bps to 3.18% from 2.30% as at the end of June 2009. Total non interest income increased by 3.40% despite profit on sale of investments decreasing by 75.54% (Rs.535 crores). Non interest income excluding profit on sale of investments was up by 22.96%. Fee income increased by 29.41% year-over-year, driven by robust growth in loan processing charges, non fund based business, government business, and cross-selling.
In keeping with its integrated approach to all treasury activities in various markets in different time zones i.e., Forex, Interest Rates, Bullion, Equity and Alternative Assets, the Bank re-designated its Treasury Operations into "Global Markets."
The Bank's Wholesale Banking Group consists of three Strategic Business Units: Corporate Accounts Group, Project Finance & Leasing, and Stressed Assets Management Group. The Bank has recently launched the "Wholesale Banking Initiative" to harness the SBI Group synergy for the benefit of the corporate customers by providing them with a "One Stop Shop" facility for all their banking needs.[10] Testing....................
The Mid-Corporate Group (MCG) has been immensely successful in attracting the business of Mid-Corporate units through relationship management and quicker credit processing. It is estimated that 38% of the Mid-Corporate universe in the country is covered by the bank. The total credit portfolio (fund based) of the Group stands at Rs 1,090.02 billion. This is more than the aggregate business handled by many of the top banks in the country. =
The Bank's National Banking Group (NBG) consists of three Business Groups: Personal Banking, Small & Medium Enterprise (SME), and Government Banking.[10]
Rural Business Group comprises rural and semi urban branches, accounting for about 70% of the branch network of the Bank.
The Bank has a network of 84 overseas offices spread over 32 countries covering all time zones. Net Profit from the Bank's overseas operations (including subsidiaries and joint ventures with more than 50% shareholding) registered a growth of 84% during the fiscal year mainly driven by significant growth of 48% in Net Customer Credit.
Government regulations and the country's macroeconomic policies affect SBI's expansion and liquidity the most. Key ratios such as Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR), Repo rate and Reverse Repo rate are all controlled by the government and affect the bank's liquidity.
SBI and ICICI Bank Ltd, two of the nation's largest banks, have been worst hit by the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) decision to increase the amount of cash they must hold with it (CRR).[12] In 2008, RBI hiked CRR from its long-standing value of around 6%, in steps, to 7.5%. Changes in interest rates adversely affect net interest margin — the difference between the yield the bank earns on assets and the interest rate it pays for deposits and other sources of funding — which in turn affects earnings. As SBI works to broaden its products and services and to increase its branch network, it will have to gain approval from the Reserve Bank of India and other government agencies.
SBI is laying greater and greater thrust on its international operations, capitalizing on its presence in 32 countries. Being the largest commercial bank in India, it is one of the most capable banks to cater to corporate India's growing appetite for international mergers and acquisitions. Net profit from the bank's overseas operations (including subsidiaries and joint ventures with more than 50% shareholding) registered a growth of 84% during FY 2007-08 mainly driven by significant growth of 48% in Net Customer Credit. The bank was ranked No. 1 in the Asia Pacific (excluding Japan and Australia) in the mandated arranger/book runner league table for syndicated loans by IFR Asia in 2007-08.[10]
Bank branch expansion in India is regulated by RBI and banks cannot expand their branch network without RBI's approval. As low-cost deposits are directly tied to the size of the branch network, the number of branches a bank has, is a key success factor for any bank in India. Branch expansion is particularly a key factor for SBI, given that SBI's profit growth is driven by core business. The operating profit increased by 54.5% year-over-year, given a robust increase in the net interest income and a modest rise in the non-interest income. Net profit rose by 40.2% year-over-year after accounting for a 30% increase in the tax paid.[13]
Public sector banks are facing competition from their private sector counterparts and foreign banks entering India in all realms of financial services. While public sector banks enjoy a pre-eminent position in terms of low-cost deposit base (also called CASA deposits in India – stands for Current Accounts and Savings Account), private-sector banks have been increasing their CASA base steadily over the years. ICICI Bank, the largest private bank in India, has expanded its CASA market share by 218% over the period of 2003-2007. The bank's CASA deposits have grown at a CAGR of 61% over the same period, compared with a growth of 17.1% for public-sector banks, 32.5% for private sector banks and 29% for foreign banks in India.[14]
Private sector banks, armed with usually more efficient management and employees, are employing all tricks - branch expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and international operations - to compete with public sector banks.

We went on a dive mission on Saturday - a reconnaissance mission basically.
Armed with a little information from the ScubaDive New Zealand forum, a copy of the SpotX Dive spots book, a little bit more information from some Dive New Zealand archives and armed with a Department of Conservation permit ... and an ache to go for a dive, Marty and I headed off down country.
We were headed for Lake Okataina which turned out to be on the other side of Rotorua.
Okay so no drama on the way there - there is really only one road into the lake, so that was the road that we took.
Driving around past Lake Rotoiti, it appeared as if we might not get a dive in at all. The wind was whipping up the lake and it was very choppy!
Even though the weather was absolutely atrocious - wind and lots and lots of rain - because New Zealand is so green, I always think it looks fresh and washed in the rain. We dodged slips and fallen trees on the way down to the lake and then we were there.
It was quiet, deserted and absolutely beautiful.
A guy came out of the lodge on his tractor - his boat had slipped the moorings and he was off to chase it.
We asked him about the pa and he told us it was at the other end of the lake. Some 7km walk from where we were or a boat ride.
Which he could have done if his boat had not slipped out into the lake.
So we decided to jump in where we were.
Gearing up in old DOC huts to keep out of the rain, we took the truck right down to the waters edge and slipped into our gear - my new 45lb unbanded bladder and jetfins were getting their first workout outside of the pool.
We were both diving twins again - Marty thought a two hour dive was in order.
Stepping into the lake, tractor man must have thought we were clowns. Double bottles, cameras - on a day like this?!
We stood in the water - a little rain never hurt anyone - and the lake did not feel all that cold. Floating, and dipping our hands and faces in the water - now it felt cold!!
We slipped out of the weed and dropped down.
On this end of the lake, 3m of freshwater weeds quickly drops off to quite a silty bottom and it got deep rather quickly.
Small freshwater fish a plenty, I didnt see any rainbow trout but the bottom of the lake was literally covered - and I mean covered in freshwater crayfish.
Some the size of my forearm and most around wrist to finger tips.
They would rear up on their back legs and their tails when we came near - it was eerie gliding over the top of them with all their pincers and feelers in the air.
In fact, I just read Binklebonks report from Taupo and think these must have been related.
40 minutes into it and there was no point in being a hero.
I looked at Marty - he signed f'ing cold and so we headed back in towards shore. I could not move my fingers on my right hand - they were just gripping the camera and I was holding my wrist with my left hand to make sure everything stayed today.
It is amazing how as soon as it gets lighter, you start to feel warmer!!
I found some old bottles - very small ones - and for the first time ever, I took something from a dive site.
These bottles are so small, I really want to know why they are there.
We stopped there for another hour and a bit - taking some photographs. With the mist and the hills and the beautiful quiet and empty countryside, it was a nice way to spend the afternoon - and we were both too bloody cold to get back in again!
We are planning on going back really soon - to get to dive on the old pa.

Network Funding. It's an interesting name for a mortgage company, but it's one that communicates both our vision and our story. In 1998, two longtime colleagues, Buzz Baker and Rex Chamberlain, set out to be different from the competition by creating a network of mortgage professionals driven by values, not just profit. They took this idea and turned it into a reality by creating Network Funding.
From the beginning of Network Funding, we set ourselves apart from other financial institutions in both design and essence. We began providing branches with loan product availabilities of a mortgage broker coupled with the administrative strength of a large financial institution. Consequently, our branches were free to focus on what mattered most, our clients. Quickly becoming a major player nationally, we grew to more than 150 branches across the country and over $2 billion in funding annually.
In the years that followed, we worked hard to become known by our integrity. Recognizing the ethical dilemma and the imminent future danger involved with sub-prime loans, alternative credit programs and other exotic mortgage options, we continued striving to do the right things in lieu of higher profits. We saw that many of those programs would put families at risk by placing them in loans they shouldn't have been in and most wouldn't understand.
Inevitably the housing crisis of 2008 arrived, crushing the financial institutions that preferred quick profits over higher principles and leaving the dreams of so many in shambles. As banks and lenders across the nation failed, we grew.
While many felt the American Dream was dying and the entire mortgage industry was on the brink of collapse, we began to thrive more than we ever anticipated, showing there was still hope in an industry marred by unethical practices.
Being one of the few mortgage companies to grow through the crisis, our reputation now precedes us. So as we look to tomorrow, we know the principles on which we were established will be the foundation upon which we continue to grow. Integrity, reliability and simplicity are our standards; funding your home in the American Dream is our goal.
As we have grown over the years, our success tells a story that's bigger than spots on a map or upward trending profit. While Network Funding currently has a presence in over 30 states and is originating over $2 billion in mortgage loans annually, we believe that our success is the result of our value-based approach to doing business.
Can a company's way of doing business really impact its industry, the lives of its clients and the well being of its community? Yes, we believe it can and should.
Our mission is to revive the American Dream of owning a home by serving every client with integrity, keeping the process simple and getting the job done.
God - We believe our highest aim in being a great company is to glorify God.
Family - We believe in families and that they are the backbone of society.
Home - We believe homes are for people, not just profit.
Integrity - We believe in doing the right things, even when they are hard.
Reliability - We believe in getting the job done and getting it done on time.
Simplicity - We believe in making the loan process simple for our clients.
Our vision is to set the standard for how to do business within the mortgage industry. We want to grow both the size and impact of our company by investing in communities, helping families and restoring dreams.
– Dwight D. Eisenhower

Professor Collins' research interests are on the application of direct numerical simulation to a broad range of turbulent processes. Areas of current interest include: (i) turbulent coagulation of aerosol particles; (ii) experimental and numerical evaluation of Lagrangian statistics in turbulent flows; (iii) mixing and chemical reaction in turbulent flames; (iv) turbulent breakup of microstructures (e.g., drops, polymers and red blood cells); (v) drag reduction due to polymer additives. A unifying theme is the importance of fine---scale (micro---turbulence) transport to these phenomena. A second focus is on developing a new class of turbulence models that are capable of describing micro---turbulence processes. Recent contributions have been made toward extending fundamental spectral theories of turbulence to applications (i) and (ii). Current emphasis is on validating the models and incorporating them into computational fluid dynamics codes.

About RSNA
(This report was presented to the Board of Directors during RSNA 2009.)
In 2009, RSNA continued to provide the very best in radiologic science and education in the present, while at the same time looking to the future through collaborations with other organizations, an increasing global focus and fostering the development of cutting-edge radiologic technology.
Leadership Changes
RSNA welcomed Richard L. Baron, M.D., a pioneer in abdominal imaging and in the gastrointestinal applications of CT and MR imaging, as the newest member of the RSNA Board of Directors. He served as the liaison-designate for education in 2009, working with George S. Bisset III, M.D. In 2010, when Dr. Bisset becomes the RSNA Board chairman, Dr. Baron will assume the role of liaison.
RSNA named Mark G. Watson as the new RSNA executive director in April 2009. Watson has served RSNA in a variety of capacities for almost 20 years, including interim executive director since September 2008. In naming Watson as executive director, the Board recognized not only his history of distinguished service with RSNA but also his ability to provide the good counsel and effective leadership needed to realize the promise of RSNA's future.
Following Watson's appointment were other additions to the Society executive leadership—RSNA promoted Controller Sally Nikkel to the position of Associate Executive Director for Finance and Administration and welcomed Karen E. Bresson, CAE, as the new Associate Executive Director for Marketing and Membership.
Annual Meeting
With its theme of Quality Counts, the RSNA 2009 opening session examined radiology's quantitative future, addressed the importance of patient-centered radiology and looked at the role of radiology in achieving national priorities for transforming healthcare.
The RSNA 2009 New Horizons Lecture focused on extracting quantitative information from MR, while the Annual Oration in Diagnostic Radiology explored quantitative imaging and reporting. The Annual Oration in Radiation Oncology detailed the latest in radiation therapy for breast tumors.A mock jury trial presented during RSNA 2009 gave attendees the opportunity to watch and learn from a re-enactment of a real-world malpractice case involving a patient who died of lung cancer. The "RSNA Presents" series featured the United Kingdom and focused on research advances in emergency radiology, high-resolution CT of the lung, and MR fluoroscopy.
New to RSNA 2009 was a two-part session featuring representatives from the National Institutes of Health Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, who discussed the availability of SBIR funding for researchers in advancing medical imaging technologies. The Digital Mammography Training and Self-Assessment Workshop was expanded for RSNA 2009, adding breast tomosynthesis and breast MR.
RSNA dedicated its 2009 RSNA Meeting Program to the memory of 1978 RSNA President Henry P. Pendergrass, M.D., and to the memory of 1980 RSNA President Hillier L. Baker Jr., M.D. The New Horizons Lecture was dedicated to the memory of Edward V. Staab, M.D.
Among the many RSNA 2009 sessions presented in collaboration with other societies was an RSNA-SNM course which combined didactic and case-based sessions on PET/CT. RSNA collaborated with the American Academy of Family Physicians to present the "Radiology and the Family Physician" course and with the American Society of Radiologic Technologists to offer a new 1½-day educational track for radiologic technologists.
At the RSNA Education Store at RSNA 2009, RSNA and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine unveiled the first phase of Web-based physics teaching modules designed to improve basic science education for radiology residents.
Interorganizational Collaborations
In addition to numerous collaborations yielding relevant and popular annual meeting content, RSNA continued its work with partner organizations on numerous other projects in 2009.
RSNA formed two task forces with the American College of Radiology (ACR), addressing such diverse topics as an adult radiation protection program and resident training in professionalism. RSNA continues to work with ACR to promote ACR's "Face of Radiology" campaign, which seeks to inform the public about the role of radiologists in healthcare, and the two organizations hosted a joint Residents Reception at RSNA 2009.
RSNA is assisting the National Cancer Institute with an epidemiological study of physicians who perform fluoroscopy-guided procedures and is also working with the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering to convene a methodology workshop on Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) in Imaging.
RSNA and the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology will co-present a March 2010 conference, "Imaging for Treatment Assessment and Radiation Therapy." Also next March, RSNA will co-sponsor the GU Cancer Symposium, an American Society of Clinical Oncology program focusing on genitourinary radiology and oncology. The RSNA and European Society of Radiology (ESR) leaders had a productive leadership retreat in September to discuss potential joint international projects.
International Efforts
RSNA continued its activities on a global front in 2009, collaborating with ACR on an international observership program whereby each organization sponsors an international radiologist as he or she spends six weeks learning at a U.S. institution. The first radiologists to participate are from Iraq.
RSNA joined Global Outreach Radiology, or GO-RAD, a new virtual journal launched by the International Society of Radiology. Radiology Editor Herbert Y. Kressel, M.D., and RadioGraphics Editor William W. Olmsted, M.D., select articles from their respective journals to contribute to GO-RAD, where they are available free to radiologists in developing nations.
In 2009, RSNA worked with radiology societies around the globe to facilitate International Visiting Professor trips to Estonia, Bolivia, South Africa, Argentina and Mexico. In 2010, teams will travel to the Philippines, Thailand, Brazil and Mexico.
At RSNA 2009, RSNA convened a meeting of international radiology leaders to discuss trends and perspectives on training, certification and practice in hybrid imaging around the world.
Publications and Communications
In addition to their new contributions to the GO-RAD journal, RSNA journals celebrated rising impact factors (according to the 2008 Citations Reports® from the Thomson/Institute for Scientific Information Annual Citation). Radiology has an impact factor of 5.996 (up from 5.561 in 2007) and RadioGraphics has an impact factor of 3.095 (up from 2.542).
In 2009, Radiology launched a monthly podcast featuring Dr. Kressel and "How I Do It" videos featuring authors of selected articles. RadioGraphics continued to enhance its online CME offerings.
RSNA continued to communicate with the public at large about radiology and the role of the specialty in patient care. In early 2009, RSNA continued to track data regarding media coverage of RSNA 2008. More than 160 members of the medical news media attended RSNA 2008, providing coverage of the meeting via newspaper, television, radio and the Internet. Popular stories included a study of self-embedding disorder in teens, new developments in autism research and a study of how including a patient's photo can enhance a radiologist's reading of an exam.
Information Technology
In 2009, RSNA continued in its leadership role in advancing the applications of information technology in healthcare. With the RadLex® lexicon mostly completed, RSNA is embarking on its Structured Reporting initiative. Meanwhile, the Society's commitment to connectivity is evident in its continued central role in the North American and international Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE®) efforts and the hosting of the annual IHE Connectathon involving almost every major corporate vendor in medical information technology.
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) recently awarded RSNA a $4.7 million contract for a two-year pilot to design, develop and launch an Internet-based network for patient-controlled sharing of medical images and reports, making the information available for patients' personal health records (PHRs).
Finally, RSNA in 2009 continued to enhance its myRSNA™ personalized homepage for the convenience and widespread use of Society membership.
The Future of RSNA and Radiology
In 2009, RSNA launched a new strategic plan that added a significant new goal—to shape and advance radiology's future. This new goal encompasses a variety of initiatives, including convening radiology thought leaders to articulate a vision for the future of the specialty, preparing professionals in the radiologic sciences for an increasingly quantitative future and advancing the frontiers of radiology informatics.Examining its own future as well as that of the specialty, RSNA began a 12-month process to renew its accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
Meanwhile, a new RSNA committee is exploring both the Society's past and its future. The Centennial Committee will identify appropriate themes and programs to mark the anniversary throughout the centennial year beginning with RSNA 2014 and ending with RSNA 2015.
Solid Foundation for What Lies Ahead
As it prepares to celebrate 100 years as a leader in radiologic science, education, and information technology, RSNA realizes its accomplishments uniquely position the Society as it embarks on a new century of charting a course for radiology and preparing and empowering professionals for that future.
The hard work and professionalism of RSNA members have helped establish the Society's reputation as a radiology leader and partner. I join the rest of the Board in thanking our many dedicated volunteers who contribute to RSNA's many successful programs, publications and partnerships.
Burton P. Drayer, M.D.Chairman, 2009 RSNA Board of Directors

EUCLID is an interactive identification and information system for eucalypts, using Lucid software.
It was produced by the Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research from the Australian National Herbarium database of over 60,000 eucalypt specimens as well as information derived from glasshouse studies for details of comparative juvenile morphology, and from widespread field observations. It was first published in 1997, with a revised edition published in 2000 which includes all the species of Angophora. EUCLID Second Edition published in 2002, covers all southern Australian eucalypts.
Eucalypts have been difficult to identify in the past but now with EUCLID and a minimum of plant material and/or instructive illustrations, the task has been made simple.
EUCLID (EUCaLyptus IDentification) allows the user to quickly and easily identify any of the 690 species and subspecies of Eucalyptus and Angophora native to southern Australia, i.e. New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and the southern part of Western Australia below the 26th parallel.
Region of Australia covered by EUCLID Second Edition
Identifications are achieved by matching features of the specimen with features from any of the 113 different characters available in the key. The characters are arranged into sets and these sets contain information about the natural distribution, habit, bark, flower buds, fruits, seeds, juvenile leaves, and habitat. Characters can be selected in any order. The great advantage over traditional identification keys is that EUCLID gives the freedom to avoid characters that are unavailable or difficult to assess.
To enhance the word descriptions, each character is illustrated by line drawings, colour pictures or scanning electron micrographs. Most species are also illustrated by a range of colour photos of the habit, bark, leaf venation, buds, flowers, fruits, seeds, juvenile, seedlings, and a map of the natural geographic distribution. These images with the description are presented in the format of a fact sheet.
The database includes extra information on nomenclature and synonymies, a description of each species, notes on related or similar species and how they may be distinguished. Uses for the species such as timber, fibre, honey production, shelter and ornamentation are also included.
EUCLID is designed for use by anyone who wants to identify eucalypts. Professionals, researchers, botanists, foresters, nurserymen, students, educators, land managers, farmers, horticulturalists and gardeners will all find this an essential tool for identifying eucalypts.

The good news for NFL star Hank Baskett is that now he can spend a lot more time with his pregnant wife Kendra Wilkinson.
The bad news? He's out of a job.
The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Tuesday they had cut Baskett, 27, from their 53-man roster, a move that makes room for controversial quarterback Michael Vick.
PHOTOS: Kendra Hits the Beach with Baby Bump
Reached by the Philadelphia Inquirer after the news broke, Baskett responded: "I'm not speaking about it."
Baskett was released despite having had his best season ever in 2008, with 33 catches and three touchdowns.
Vick, however, is considered a stronger offensive player. The star quarterback, 29, last played for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007, but was let go after he was sentenced to 18 months in a federal penitentiary for organizing a dogfighting ring. He is set to begin practicing with the team today.
Baskett and Wilkinson are expecting a boy on Christmas Day.

My mother had to do something with all the fruit and berries from my father's garden, so if it wasn't made into jams and jellies, or canned, or frozen, it went into cakes and pies. We had a lot of pies. Lord knows what that stuff is for this one; if I didn't know better, I'd say it looks like Chicken McNuggets. As usual, the equipment spans the decades from the 30s to the 60s. The board, stamped "Howard" on the end, is among the oldest, along with the sifter (behind the flour sack), measuring cup and glass pie plate. The stainless steel bowl, part of a nest of three, came along in the late 50s. The teardrop-shaped enameled wood salt and pepper shakers (left of flour sack) are just there because this is our kitchen table. Newest item is probably the plastic mixing spoon. Interesting that she kept her diamond engagement ring on for this operation. My mother is 55 here; I was 16 when I shot this Tri-X negative; now I'm about to turn 65 and I still haven't made a pie from scratch.

In short, I want media management software that can monitor a folder location and parse the video files from there (rename the file(s), put them in a folder, etc). Media Center Master has this functionality but I would preferably like to find free software that can do this.
Is there any free media management software that has this functionality built in?
I run Windows on my main systems, but I would be open to either Linux or Windows software that does this.

Olivia Mayer scored 18 points, Dana Kym added 13 points and 9 rebounds, and Libertyvilles girls basketball team pulled out a 48-46 win in overtime over host New Trier in a nonconference thriller Thursday night.
Libertyville (12-13), which won its third straight, overcome a six-point deficit in the fourth quarter to take the lead, but New Trier sank a 3-pointer to beat the buzzer and force overtime.
In the extra session, Haley Hoeksel (10 points) sank a shot and Andi Katz went 2 of 2 from the line, as the Wildcats outscored the Trevians 4-2.
Mayer finished 8 of 9 from the stripe.
Liv and Dana were phenomenal, Libertyville coach Greg Pedersen said of Mayer and Kim. Liv paced our team and found opportunities, while Dana crashed the boards and fortified the inside.
Grayslake Central 34, Woodstock North 32: The visiting Rams played their typical stingy defense, and this time they scored just enough points to pull out the Fox Valley Fox Division game.
Morgan Dahlstroms 14 points paced Grayslake Central (17-9, 10-1), which won its fifth in a row. Taylor Peterson added a season-high 11 points for the Rams.
Carmel 37, Wauconda 20: The host Corsairs, who saw their six-game winning streak snapped Monday against Joliet Catholic, got back on the winning track, as Claire Ogrinc scored 16 points in the nonconference game.
Carmel (18-8) led 7-6 after one quarter and then shutout the Bulldogs 8-0 in the second quarter and outscored them 18-9 in the third.
Wauconda received 11 points and 5 rebounds from Lauren Nee.

The Walrus Says
The incomparable follies theme for this year is "Music, Movement and Memories" and will include remembrances from the 1950s to the present. Regular members of the group are, in addition to Kathy, Marilyn Polleson, Caroline Jaques and Laney Furtado, who will be joined by guest performers.
Auditions will be held Monday, Aug. 17, and Tuesday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m. at the center. An accompanist will be available.
The talent show is the chorus' biggest fundraiser and proceeds benefit chorus programs, which include its two yearly concerts, the music scholarship award, donations of music and movies to the Jamestown library, and more.
Questions? Call 423-1574 or visit the chorus website at www. jamestownri.com/chorus.
Ron Storey writes, "Thanks to my co-worker Laurie Dutra, who places a copy of the Jamestown Press on my desk every week, I've been following the articles in the 'Walrus' section of your paper regarding my father's (Mack Storey) welding shop. The shop was originally called Jamestown Welding, but the name was later changed to 'Heat-O-Vector' to refl ect the fireplace insert business, which later became our primary product. The business, located on Clinton Avenue, manufactured over 5,000 wood stoves and fireplace inserts during the fuel crisis of the 1970s. The fuel shortage of the 1970s many times caused gasoline customers to form a long waiting line up Clinton Avenue. People often waited for over an hour to purchase a few gallons of gasoline from Harold Richardson's Central Garage, which was located around the corner."
The NFL teams are in training camps, all's well with the world.
Tomorrow is National Lighthouse Day. The Beavertail Lighthouse Museum Association will celebrate the occasion by offering a 10 percent discount on any one item purchased by visitors to the museum gift shop that day.
The gift shop is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Beavertail Lighthouse.
So, what was Lloyd Wright's sister's first name? Edith, said Marilyn Dutton, adding that Edith lived with her brother, Lloyd, on Antham Street. She told us that Lloyd was a great fan of the Drum & Bugle Corp. and although he did not play an instrument he attended all the competitions. "We all loved him," Marilyn added.
