CHARLOTTE � With Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson among the nearly 14,000 in attendance, the Charlotte 49ers held their inaugural spring football game.
Former Maiden High quarterback Matt Johnson completed 13 of 14 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown as the Green beat the White 26-3 in front of a crowd of 13,950.
Due to small first-year numbers and some recent injuries, first-year coach Brad Lambert used some players on both teams, though the Green team was comprised primarily of starters and the White team was comprised primarily of backups.
The 49ers, whose first game is Aug. 31 at home against Campbell, got their first score at McColl-Richardson Field on the third play from scrimmage. Johnson hit Austin Duke for an 11-yard TD pass to cap a three-play, 65-yard scoring drive.
Later in the scrimmage, Alan Barnwell and Damarrell Alexander scored on runs of 3 and 4 yards, respectively, and Stephen Muscarello hit two field goals and Hayden Pezzoni hit one.
Muscarello�s second field goal, a 32-yarder early in the fourth quarter, kept the White team from being shutout in the first game at the Charlotte�s 15,300-seat stadium that also includes the 46,000-square-foot football center.
Three former local standouts begin spring drills with the 49ers earlier this season, though one has since left the program.
Jonathan Gidney, a member of the 49ers� initial 2012 recruiting class and a 2011 All-Gazette wide receiver for Lincolnton High, injured his knee early in spring drills and has stopped playing football.
But Cortezz Nixon (Forestview Class of 2011) and Brandon Strupp (East Lincoln 2009) have stayed with the program and both participated in Saturday�s scrimmage.
Nixon, who transferred from Lenoir-Rhyne in January and earned his shot through a tryout, made three tackles playing cornerback for the White team. And Strupp, who transferred from Concord, W.Va., punted twice for a 35.5 yard average, including one punt inside the 20.

Swimming Pool Blog
Back in April of 2008 Poolcenter.com opened up it's own version of the "Community Pool". It's a corner of the web that allows for our customers to interact, share pool info, fun stories about the pool, post videos, collaborate, and just keep in touch with other pool owners. In order to make this happen, POOLCENTER.com implemented "community software" which is actually a sub-domain. The sub-domain https://community.poolcenter.com features many categories and sub-categories for users to navigate and browse at their leisure. Back in 1996 (ol' 96) POOLCENTER.com posted some information up on the web for their service customer's associated with Cox Pools, the information was to help/assist residential pool owners with such things as testing water chemistry, how to clean a pool filter, how to "winterize" a pool, etc., and so "Pool Info" (i.e. POOLCENTER.com) was born.
As the years passed, POOLCENTER.com began adding products requested via service clients and web surfers throughout the country. This spark in interest was the impetus for our Pool Talk (pool forum), which is also part of the Pool Community and boasts over 5,000 posts with users sharing information on a large number of topics largely self-policed (administered). Allowing the online user (pool owner/enthusiast) to participate in discussions only helps to promote dynamic content and opens the door to information that otherwise would be unavailable to an everyday pool owner.
After experiencing the success of both "Pool Info" and "Pool Talk" POOLCENTER.com decided to launch an entire pool community where users could actually post their own articles for discussion, edit existing, taking collaboration to a whole new level. The Pool Community also includes a "Pool Tube" for posting fun, instructional, safety videos viewable to anyone at anytime. The Pool Wiki is where the user can dive in and edit/view/add articles, including the Pool Glossary of terms.
Having been immediately recognized by Inc.com magazine soon after launching the Pool Community live, they decided to include us in their feature story regarding community software. The following is an excerpt:
Web Design
"Any idea why my chlorinator O-ring keeps stretching out?" a customer posted on Poolcenter.com, a Springfield, Virginia-based online retailer of swimming pool equipment. Before a Poolcenter.com employee could reply, two other customers jumped in to help. "JohnT" thought it might need to be greased. "MattK" agreed. "I had a similar problem last year," he wrote. "I replaced it at the beginning of the season, and applied a liberal coating of pool lube, and the O-ring has lasted all year."
Poolcenter.com founder Rob Cox recently launched the Pool Community. It includes how-to videos; a blog; a wiki at which customers can contribute to articles about pool maintenance; and a long-running forum with more than 5,000 registered users who regularly visit to discuss pool products, post photos of their pools, and troubleshoot equipment problems. "There's a conversation going on now about your company, good, bad, or otherwise," Cox says. "A company like ours is trying to gently steer it in a positive direction. And when members need a product, they're just a couple of clicks away."
The Community Pool is very new and will continue to progress and evolve. We look forward to your participation as the days and months pass so that your voice will be heard, your pool will be seen, and a healthy discussion may soon follow. This will only help the next pool owner who is struggling with how to prime his/her pump and/or how does this pool cleaner work anyway?
* Check the July 2008 issue of Inc.com for the entire article regarding community software.

Matthew McConaughey Killer Joe Screening Pictures
Matthew McConaughey Talks Weight Loss While Promoting Killer Joe
Matthew McConaughey posed alongside Gina Gershon at a special Lincoln Center event for Killer Joe in NYC last night. The duo met up with the film's director, William Friedkin, and writer Tracy Letts for The Film Society panel, where they participated in a Q&A following the viewing. It was the second screening in a row for Matthew, who also stepped out with his pregnant wife, Camila Alves, on Monday.
Matthew has his whole family on the East Coast while he does press for the film, including a stop by The Daily Show yesterday. Matthew chatted about his drastic weight loss for an upcoming role, saying that he's already shed 16 pounds and has about 15 more to go before reaching his goal. He even shared that his suit pants were sewn up so that they would fit! Matthew will be back on the small screen in an interview with Craig Ferguson tonight before the movie hits theaters on Friday.

"The way to establish a familial tradition of reading is simple: read books, then talk about them."
While attending high school graduation for my daughter recently a parent asked me what the secret is to raising children who are successful in school. I was caught a bit off guard. I was emotional as I always am when seeing developing minds recognized for their achievements. I didn't have an answer ready.
Of all the things that I could have mentioned, the first thing out of my mouth was to encourage a household culture of reading.
To the editor,
The Williston Youth Athletic Association is a nonprofit, volunteer run organization designed to provide a recreational sports program to the youth of the community. The WYAA has been providing sports programs to the community for many years. The WYAA has had a long standing relationship with the city of Williston. That relationship has contributed to the success and longevity of the programs. The WYAA averages 350 to 400 participants each season.
Dear Sheriff Smith:
Words cannot begin to express the heartfelt thanks and deep appreciation I feel toward you and your generous, caring staff.
Our 2009 safety patrol trip to Washington went off without a hitch! It was perfect! Yes, we had fabulous parental and staff support, but their job was to chaperone our patrols, who, I am proud to say, were most enthusiastic and well-behaved throughout the entire trip.
Headlines from every corner of the nation and our state are unanimous in their message… the government bank account is running dry and the cupboard is bare. Florida counties and municipalities report that jobs are on the chopping block, others will see wage freezes, services are being cut and in some cases taxes will rise. Levy County is no different. The "Great Recession" may be on our doorstep.
You may well be wondering what a corporatocracy is. Officially it is not a word that appears in any popular dictionary. The word itself is a neologism, a recently coined word that is commonly used but hasn't become mainstream. Every day new words enter our language through books, magazines and newspapers. The Internet (that word was once a neologism as well) has quickly become the most popular venue for new thoughts, ideas and words entering the public domain.
As we enter the dog days of summer, people will be out enduring our famous heat and our abundant resources available to them; North Central Florida is a great place to be. Whether you're on a farm handpicking blueberries for pies, cooking steaks on the grill or enjoying watermelon on the river with family and friends, this area provides us with so many great homegrown options to fill our summer time. During these times the agriculture industry can easily be taken for granted by those not directly involved in it.
To the editor:
Each month, volunteer pilots from Angel Flight Southeast fly patients needing specialized medical care, including chemotherapy and dialysis, to hospitals throughout Florida. Many of these patients are from rural areas and would otherwise be hard-pressed to receive the care they need.
You may have seen the signs up "NO BLAST NO DUST" around our neighborhood in Montbrook and on East Levy Street. We are very much against the blasting mine Mr. Vanderwey would like to see placed here. Mr. Vanderwey hasn't given up on his idea of a lime rock blasting mine in Williston. While he hasn't gone before the Board of Commissioners (BOC) yet, he is still working on getting his paperwork in order to proceed in hopes of getting approval from the board.
The Rotary Club of Williston would like to publicly thank the following individuals and businesses for their participation in the Rotary Jail-n Bail held on Friday, June 5:
Patty Galyean, Mike Doerr, John Gray, Tammi Johns/Green Shutters, Jim Smith, Bo Hobby, Charlotte Jones/Willard's Restaurant, Frances Lasalle, John Lott, Stoney Smith, Alan Cooper, Janice Carlisle, Owen Baynard , Devin Whitehurst, Richard Dass.
When the press release came over last week, Iee^immediately put it on my calendar of things to do Saturday. "Moonlight and Music" it read. What could be better? Iee^thought.
It was raining at my house, but just a brief drizzle so I was almost sure it wouldn't be cancelled. ee^I was correct, although when I arrived at Williston Rehab, there was no one out enjoying the moonlight.
As a child of the 50s, I am part of the generation that saw humans fly into space and came to believe that if we applied ourselves to a problem it could be solved — especially if we applied ourselves to science, engineering and math.
The news that the Soviets (remember them?) had put a man into space sent us into a frenzy.
We watched President Kennedy's challenge to reach the moon in 10 years.
I remember the nuns hustling us out of class one day to look up at the sky for a "really tiny reflection of light."
The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 is a bill in Congress designed to help move the United States off of its dependency on petroleum products by rewarding folks—corporations, companies and communities—who develop and sell alternatives while demanding that the industries using or selling oil-based products—such as utilities and auto-makers—adhere to a program reducing its use over the next four decades.
Jon Ebersole of Oak Park, Ill. feels as if he has been preparing for his current career and job his entire life.
"I was raised a Mennonite, which is a very service-oriented faith," said 48-year-old Ebersole in a telephone interview. "When in college, I was the 'big brother' for a kid in a tough situation involved with state services. I believe alcohol and emotional abuse existed in his family."
I would like to respond to the article titled "The Truth about Exotic Animals". To myself and many others this matter of what is being referred to as "Exotic Animals" (I call Wild Untamed Meat Eating Cats) in a residential area is a real and possible danger to all concerned and not to be taken lightly at all.
On May 29, 2009 two cities, Williston and Dunnellon, united in a mutual partnership to protect one of Florida's special natural resources, Rainbow Springs. It was stated that two of the major threats to the springs are water quantity and quality. Williston and East Levy County, which lie in the Rainbow River Springshed, provide a necessary water supply function (surface and ground water recharge) to areas south of the county, i.e. Rainbow Springs in Dunnellon.
The June 4 issue contained a letter from a concerned citizen (with whom we agree 100 percent). She recommends we show our support in trying to defeat the request for special exemption permits.

Daniel Craig on the Vanity Fair Cover November 2012
Daniel Craig Shares His Sexy James Bond Stare on Vanity Fair
Daniel Craig's bright blue eyes pop off the November cover of Vanity Fair, which is available on newsstands Oct. 9. Inside the magazine, Daniel chats about his latest turn as the world's most famous secret agent, James Bond. Daniel plays opposite Javier Bardem in Nov. 9's Skyfall. Daniel didn't open up about real-life leading lady, his wife of one year, Rachel Weisz, though he did touch on the controversy surrounding the decision to substitute James's drink of choice, a martini — shaken not stirred, for a Heineken. Here's more from Daniel:
- Daniel on protecting the Bond franchise: "What I'm doing is not what Pierce [Brosnan] was doing, and Pierce wasn't doing what Roger Moore was doing, or what Sean [Connery] was doing, or what Timothy [Dalton] was doing. Things have changed. It's just kind of the ride of it. Pierce used to say that it's like being responsible for a small country. It's kind of like you have to look after it diplomatically. I kind of get that, but I can't really say that's my deal. I'm not going to be the poster boy for this. Although I am the poster boy."
- Daniel on living life as James Bond: "It's amazing how many times I've sat in interviews like this in a bar or a hotel, and it's 11 o'clock in the morning and someone sends a martini over. And it's like, Really? It's 11 o'clock! Cheers! I'm not going to drink it."
- Daniel on Bond's new drink of choice: "Product placement, whichever way you look at it, whether you like it or you think it's disgusting, or whatever, it's what it is. Heineken gave us a ton of money for there to be Heineken in a shot in a bar. So, how easy is that? Just to say, OK, there's Heineken. It's there — it's in the back of the shot. Without them, the movie couldn't get sold, so that all got kind of blown up. 'Bond's new drink is a Heineken.' He likes a lot of drinks — Heineken, Champagne; it's all in there. I'll drink a beer in the shot, I'm happy to, but I'm not going to do an 'Ahhhhh' [pantomiming an actor looking refreshed]. And I would say this because they're paying, but they're kind of respectful about it. They don't want to screw the movie up."

Following the release of the Department for Transport's latest THINK! Drink Drive campaign, which states that 'A second drink could double your chance of being in a fatal collision', alcohol safety experts are calling for drivers to be aware of their alcohol levels the morning after drinking and not just immediately after.
20% of the UK's drink-driving convictions are as a result of 'morning after' breath tests, and in 2014 alone, alcohol accounted for 5,650 accidents and 8,320 casualties on UK roads.
Suzannah Robin, alcohol safety expert and Sales & Training Manager at AlcoDigital – the UK's leading supplier of breathalyzers - commented: "It is absolutely right people should be thinking about the consequences of drinking and driving and the significant difference on safety that two drinks can have versus one. However, they also need to consider that even if they don't drink and drive immediately after consuming alcohol, they may still be affected the following morning.
"In the same way that everyone loses weight at different rates, we all process alcohol differently so if you have been drinking say four or five pints of beer or consumed a bottle of wine during the evening you may not be safe to drive the following morning, even if you think you feel OK."
One of the most recent introductions to the UK retail market is the single use breathalyzer. In France, it has been a legal requirement for all motorists to keep a breathalyzer in their vehicle since 2012. Following its implementation the breathalyzer law has made a significant contribution to road safety in France with the CISR [comité interministériel de sécurité routière] reporting an 8% decrease in road deaths in 2013 – the lowest level since 1948.
"If you are planning to drive the morning after drinking you should be testing yourself before you get behind the wheel to ensure you are safe to do so. Single use breathalyzers are the cheapest and simplest solution available to ensure that you, your friends and family stay safe - particularly the morning after - and are perfect for keeping in a drawer at home, your handbag or the glove box of a car," Ms Robin added.

Jennifer Lopez at Valentino Paris Fashion Week | Pictures
Jennifer Lopez Continues Her Busy PFW Day With Valentino and Casper
Jennifer Lopez Continues Her Busy PFW Day With Valentino and Casper
Jennifer Lopez did a quick change in Paris today, slipping out of the little white dress she wore to this morning's Chanel show and into a flirty pink dress to check out Valentino. J Lo brought her daughter, Emme, and boyfriend, Casper Smart, along to see Chanel, though for Valentino's midday Paris Fashion Week presentation, she arrived holding hands with just Casper. The pair sat in the front row, next to the designer himself, and got a close look at the Spring 2013 Valentino designs as they came down the runway. Afterward, J Lo returned to her hotel to pick up her son, Max. J Lo and her gang are currently touring Europe as part of her Dance Again world tour. Following their quick stop in France, they're jetting back to Portugal for a show in Lisbon before moving on to Spain, Ireland, Russia, the UK, and Turkey.

If you are already familiar with the basics of reloading, you probably know that non-toxic loads are a little different in composition – in the load data or recipe – and that you can never simply substitute ingredients: using steel in a lead load, or a different primer or hull because you have a few left over. Switching ingredients or volumes, or something as simple as a wad type, may cause your load to perform poorly … or even disastrously. If the load data calls for a Windjammer WJI 20078 and you are out of this particular wad, find another recipe. If there is one universal caution before beginning this discussion, it is to stick tight to the load data.
Also, should you decide to hand load shotshells, be cautious about taking advice. A 12-gauge load develops barrel pressures between 6500 and 11000 psi. Rifle and handgun loads, even a .22 Hornet or a standard police-carry .40 S&W, operate at significantly higher pressures, two or three times safe shotgun levels, and one body of knowledge does not translate into another shooting medium. Beware also of individuals who are casual in their approach to loading shells. Freelance at your own risk!
Stick to the Load Data
Regarding load data for non-toxic shot, adhere strictly to established loading recipes. They will most likely spell out ingredients very specifically as in these examples, randomly selected 12-gauge loads from Alliant's reloading manual for Steel Power which was formulated specifically for steel shot:
- 2 ¾-inch steel: Remington Nitro Mag hull and Federal 209A primer filled with 29.5 gr. of Alliant Steel powder, a TUPRW12 wad from Precision Reloading, and 1 1/8-ounce of steel shot, gives 1361 fps with safe barrel pressures of about 10,400 psi.
- 3-inch bismuth: Remington SPELV Yellow BW hull and Federal 209A primer filled with 45 gr. of Alliant Steel powder, a Rem RP12 wad, and 1 ½-ounce of bismuth shot gives 1441 fps with only slightly higher 10,700 psi.
- 3-inch Hevi-Shot: Fed 7/16 Paper BW hull and Federal 209A primer filled with 33 gr. of Alliant Steel powder, a TUPR23 (orange) wad from Precision Reloading, and 1 ½-ounce of Hevi-Shot, gives 1274 fps with 10,500 psi. The load requires a ¼-inch thick felt spacer under the shot for additional cushion and to take up space in the shell column.
~ from Gun Digest Book of Green Shooting by Rick Sapp
The book also covers non-toxic ammunition for rifles and handguns:
- Review currently-offered eco-friendly ammunition and reloading components and understand their benefits to the shooter and reloader.
- Understand performance-enhancing modifications necessary to maximize benefit of the new products.
To read more about what's available in non-toxic shotshell loads, how they perform, keys to successful reloading for shotgun shells and more, get your copy of Gun Digest Book of Green Shooting from the Gun Digest Store today.

11th Inning Walk-Off Gives Phillies a Series Split with the Reds
It took a torrential downpour to start the game, 4 runs, 11 innings and 4 ½ hours, but the Phillies finally pulled off a win against the Reds for a series split. The win also vaulted them into 3rd place in the division. Imagine being happy about 3rd place back in April…this has been a crazy year.
One person who was not happy about the rain to start the game was Cole Hamels. He stated after the game, "We have these things called radar detectors and if you can't read them correctly I don't know what's going on." After getting into trouble and allowing a run in the 1st while it poured, Hamels was probably having bad flashbacks to Game 5 of the 2008 World Series. Officials did not call that game until after Hamels relinquished 2 runs to tie the game due in part to the sloppy field conditions.
But that game turned out pretty well, although not until several days later. The start of Thursday's game was not delayed as it should have been, so his frustration is easy to understand. But the extra-inning affair also worked out in the end. Hamels went 6 innings and allowed 3 runs.
The offense had some issues as well. It looked like no one could hit Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto until the 6th inning when the Phils finally scored 2 runs. But once they got the game tied up at 3-3, things got every stranger.
The Phillies started getting on base, but there appear to be a brick wall at 3rd base that no one could pass. In both the 8th and 9th innings, the Phillies had the bases loaded with only 1 out and did not score. In the 9th Domonic Brown hit into a double play to end the inning, adding to the frustration. They left 2 men on base with 1 out in the 10th as well. In all, the Phillies stranded 16 runners and went only 4-14 with runners in scoring position.
Throughout those many irritating innings though, the bullpen did an excellent job of holding the Reds at bay. 5 pitchers went 5 scoreless innings, including Phillippe Aumont who made his major league debut. He tossed a scoreless 8th inning.
Aumont had been called up to replace Jeremy Horst who was on paternity leave. But Horst returned, and also pitched, last night. Aumont stayed and instead, Michael Schwimer was very quietly sent back to Triple-A. So it appears the Phillies will get a longer look at Aumont to see what he can do.
With the bullpen's solid effort, the table was set yet again for the Phillies in the 11th inning. Finally, someone got a hit with the bases loaded. John Mayberry Jr. singled to left to score Chase Utley for the walk-off victory. After the game, Charlie Manuel expressed his frustration about all the previously stranded runners by saying, "I feel drained. Really. I kept waiting for somebody to come home." Everyone laughed, which is certainly a lot easier when you have won the game.
And now the 1st place Nationals come to town. There is just something very wrong about that previous sentence…sigh. Game time tonight is 7:05pm.

What FamilyTreeDNA sharing genetic data with police means for you
A popular at-home DNA testing company has announced that it is allowing police to search its database of genetic data just as customers do when looking for family members. But there's one big difference: Police are trying to track down rape and murder suspects using relatives' DNA.
Since Joseph James DeAngelo was arrested as the suspected Golden State Killer last April, police have...
Genealogy databases could reveal the identity of most Americans
Protecting the anonymity of publicly available genetic data, including DNA donated to research projects, may be impossible.
About 60 percent of people of European descent who search genetic genealogy databases will find a match with a relative who is a third cousin or closer, a new study finds. The result suggests that with a database of about 3 million people, police or anyone else with...
What I actually learned about my family after trying 5 DNA ancestry tests
Commercials abound for DNA testing services that will help you learn where your ancestors came from or connect you with relatives. I've been interested in my family history for a long time.

DNA testing can bring families together, but gives mixed answers on ethnicity
Michael Douglas, a new resident of southern Maryland, credits genetic testing for helping him find his heritage — and a family he knew very little about.
Douglas, 43, is adopted. He knew his birth mother's name and had seen a birth certificate stating his birth name: Thomas Michael McCarthy. Over the years, Douglas had tried off and on to find his birth family, mostly by looking for his...
Why using genetic genealogy to solve crimes could pose problems
Police are using a new type of DNA sleuthing, called genetic genealogy. Already the technique has caught murder and rape suspects in California and Washington. While solving the cases has given cause for celebration, the tactics used in catching the alleged culprits have many privacy and civil rights experts worried.
Closing the Golden State Killer case (SN Online: 4/29/18) and the...
At-home telomere testing is not a reliable marker of aging, researcher says
Stay younger, longer. Great idea. But direct-to-consumer test kits that promise to gauge a person's biological age by analyzing a drop of blood are not worth the $100 or so investment, says oncologist Mary Armanios. The tests measure the length of telomeres, the bits of DNA that cap and protect the ends of chromosomes. But the consumer tests are unreliable and can be misinterpreted, Armanios...

Privacy and consumer genetic testing don't always mix
For a few hundred dollars and a spit sample, you too could take a journey of genetic self-discovery. You may learn some things, but what are you giving away?
Today, hundreds of companies offer to analyze your DNA, or parts of it, to let you in on everything from your health risks and ancestry to more dubious traits like intelligence or athletic ability (SN: 5/26/18, p. 20). The direct-to...

Guidelines call for limits to whole genome testing for fetuses

The history of heredity makes for a fascinating, and chilling, read
She Has Her Mother's LaughCarl ZimmerDutton, $30
The Elephant Man, novelist Pearl S. Buck and Phoebus, god of the sun, all find their way into science writer Carl Zimmer's latest book. In She Has Her Mother's Laugh, Zimmer uses famous moments in history — and Greek mythology — to explain genetics and how researchers have come to understand heredity and try to manipulate it.

Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas declared himself "all in" last week, promising to push for a vote on Palestinian statehood at the UN Security Council. His decision puts the already-listing HMS Oslo Accords in danger of running aground on a long-ignored reality: The current paradigm isn't working.
After 18 years of negotiations that have so far failed to deliver the envisioned outcome of two states for two peoples, it's hard to imagine Abbas backing off from a promised vote on Palestinian statehood along borders that prevailed before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. In Ramallah last week he declared UN recognition as necessary to move forward, and promised to present the statehood demand after delivering a speech at the UN on Sept. 23.
"We need to have full membership within [pre-1967] borders in order to go to negotiations on a basis adopted by the world so that we may discuss the permanent issues of Jerusalem, borders, refugees – and our prisoners in Israeli prisons," Mr. Abbas said.
Abbas's own legitimacy has been waning. He has neither an electoral mandate nor much progress to show Palestinian constituents on the issues they care about most: curtailing Israeli settlement expansion and moving toward meaningful statehood.
In the West Bank, 60 percent of the land is still fully controlled by Israeli security forces, and economic development is not permitted in those areas, according to a recent World Bank report I wrote about last week. In the Gaza Strip, where Hamas is the de facto authority, an economic blockade enforced by Israel and Egypt remains in force. If Abbas backs off now without receiving something in return, as the US is urging him to do, it would be a crippling blow to his own standing among Palestinians.
[ Video is no longer available. ]
What will happen if Abbas moves forward on Friday? The US is hinting at a Security Council veto, a moment that is likely to shred its last remaining credibility among Palestinians as an impartial, honest broker when it comes to Palestinian-Israeli peacemaking. After all, the US position has been for years that a Palestinian state should be based on the pre-1967 borders. While Washington says that such a state must be achieved through negotiations, not at the UN, standing in the way of the UN bid will, rightly or wrongly, send a message to the Palestinians – and the restive populations of neighboring Egypt and Jordan – that the US is committed to doing the bidding of Israel's current government, not to delivering a Palestinian state.
Blogger Issandr El Amrani flags a revealing conversation between State Department spokesman Mark Toner and the AP's Matt Lee last week, in which Mr. Lee asks why UN recognition can't be seen as a prod to new and meaningful negotiations, rather than as an obstacle. As Lee pushes his point, Mr. Toner seems flummoxed – continually repeating the US position that it prefers direct talks and that recognition is "counterproductive." Lee, apparently frustrated, finally says: "To the Palestinians, it gives them some kind of hope, some kind of confidence, that when they do sit down – let me finish – when they do sit down at the negotiating table, that they have more leverage than some kind of nonentity that they're treated as now."
Palestinian respect for the US has already been waning fast. Veteran negotiator Dennis Ross went to the West Bank last week in a bid to convince Abbas to back off from the UN vote, and his proposal reportedly infuriated Abbas. Palestinian officials said Mr. Ross had presented a plan that, among other things, referred to continuing Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank as "demographic changes" rather than illegal, thus implying US support for them. The Israeli enclaves, which house more than 300,000 Jews in the West Bank, are considered illegal under international law, which forbids the transfer of citizens into occupied territory.
In the wake of a US veto at the UN, it's hard to see American peace process professionals like Ross retaining any clout with Palestinian leaders at all. In Egypt and other regional states, the belief that when the chips are down that the US always backs Israel will be strengthened – and limit US influence in other arenas. Prince Turki al-Faisal, the former Saudi ambassador to the US and as close as any senior Saudi official to the US, provided a stark warning of regional consequences in an op-ed in the New York Times last week.
"With most of the Arab world in upheaval, the 'special relationship' between Saudi Arabia and the United States would increasingly be seen as toxic by the vast majority of Arabs and Muslims," he wrote. "Saudi leaders would be forced by domestic and regional pressures to adopt a far more independent and assertive foreign policy. Like our recent military support for Bahrain's monarchy, which America opposed, Saudi Arabia would pursue other policies at odds with those of the United States, including opposing the government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in Iraq and refusing to open an embassy there despite American pressure to do so."
Israel's position is plummeting elsewhere around the region. Turkey has kicked out Israel's ambassador over anger at Israel's decision not to apologize for the killings of Turkish activists aboard the ill-fated Gaza flotilla, and Israel's ambassador had to flee Egypt after the country's military rulers failed to secure the embassy here from angry protesters.
Political change in Egypt means that the old formula of Egyptian support for Israel in exchange for US cash is almost certainly going to be reworked. From the left to the Islamists to the neoliberal right here in Cairo, anger at Israel is one of the few consensus positions. Jordan, the only other Arab state that has made peace with Israel, is likely going to come under popular pressure to distance itself from the Jewish state as well – further isolating Israel (and the US).
"Any thoughts of the Arab awakening 'proving' that Palestine was in fact a marginal concern in the region were unequivocally banished in recent weeks," former Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy wrote last week. "To imagine that a popular Arab push for democracy, freedom, and dignity would ignore Israel's denial of those same aspirations for Palestinians was a flight of fancy."
The one thing Israel could do to head off this vote – a West Bank settlement freeze, with teeth – is unlikely to come to pass, given the fervor and political power of the settlers.
Right-wing settlers, who have a strong voice in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government, have been promising provocative marches against UN recognition this week and staking their claim to the West Bank. Settlers won't be "waiting at home so the Arabs might get close to their fences," Itamar Ben-Gvir told Ynet. "We're going to go out and make it clear to the Arabs who the home owners are. We're going to take the initiative and march towards Palestinian towns."
Whatever happens at the UN, events at the end of this week are going to prove a new marker over the decades long fight over creating a Palestinian state. Abbas' big bet isn't going to change the situation – or help his people – overnight. But it could chart a new course for a "process" that has, by and large, been a failure.

NORMAL - Annawan forced a lot of Eastland turnovers.
A state-tournament record number of turnovers.
The Cougars committed 47 turnovers, as the Bravettes stole the ball a state-record 35 times in a 71-45 loss for Eastland on Friday.
"We didn't play the type of game that Eastland girls basketball is used to," Cougars coach Colleen Finn-Henze said. "But I have to give tons and tons of credit to Annawan and its pressure.
"We didn't handle it well throughout the whole game and especially in that first half."
Getting past half court was a struggle in itself for the Cougars as the Bravettes 2-2-1 press overwhelmed them. Eastland committed six turnovers on their first six possessions before crossing the half-court line.
"They sucked in on us guards so fast," Eastland guard Courtney Walker said. "Their hands were everywhere and it was really hard to see down the floor to see who was open and who wasn't.
"When you picked up the ball to try to pass it, they just sucked right in and got their hands on it."
"From a different perspective," Eastland forward Hannah Hake said, "in the back, we're like 'we're open.'
"But from their side, they didn't really have a place to go."
Eastland played well enough on defense to keep the game close and only trailed 3-2 in the first three minutes of the game. But things snowballed from there, as Annawan went on a 15-2 run to cap the first quarter.
By halftime, Eastland found itself in an insurmountable 42-16 deficit.
Bravettes center Celina VanHyfte finished with a game-high 18 points, nine rebounds, eight steals, four assists and two blocks.
"I didn't think it would as a tough to guard her but it was tough," Eastland center Lexis Macomber said. "She would just sit down and bury me and there was no way I could get around her. She's bigger than me, so it was hard."
Guard Megan Foes (seven points) added nine steals, which tied her for second in a state tournament game behind Aquin alum Sophie Brunner's 12 in 2012. Maddie Jackson had seven steals and five points.
Cierra Davis (15 points) and Morgan VanHyfte (13) also scored in double figures for Annawan.
Macomber finished with a team-high 12 points, five rebounds, a steal and a block.
The Cougars play in the third-place game against Moweaqua Central A&M at noon Saturday. The Raiders lost to Carrollton, 40-38.
"That's a good, solid team that's had a great, successful year," Finn-Henze said.
"Personally, I'm ready to get back out there," Walker said, "and prove that we belong out there.
"You hear a lot of smack 'Oh, small-town Eastland, they don't deserve to be there.' I want to prove that we deserve to be here."

Questions for the superintendent or staff are preferred 3-5 days in advance so answers can be researched and prepared.
Representatives include parents from individual schools and programs of Robbinsdale Area Schools. These representatives act as communication liaisons between the district administration and their own schools, groups, or boosters. Representatives attend PTA/PTO/Booster meetings to share meeting highlights and bring questions or concerns and accomplishments back to the council.
Getting Involved
Guest speakers are frequently invited, providing information that affects our entire district. Past guests include district staff and representatives of Community Education, PRISM and Seven Dreams.

To the editor:
I walked along Sunset Beach and Bird Island this morning and was amazed at the loss of sand dunes after our recent storms.
Particularly distressing is the Kindred Spirit mailbox on Bird Island. The mailbox and bench are now inaccessible atop a large dune with no way to get to the location without a sheer climb up the 7-foot dune.
I hope someone will relocate this wonderful Brunswick County beach tradition, enjoyed by residents and tourists alike, to a more accessible location on the beach.

Safety Sweepstakes".
Four of the suggestions were selected
for Honorable Mention: "Safety In
Wealth Contest", by Patricia deVries of
the Executive Office; "Fortuna Door Di
Seguridad", by Nicolina Dirksz of the
Personnel department; "4-L Safety Con-
test" (Life, Limb, and Longevity Lotter-
y), by J. S. Harrison of the Executive
Office; and "Be Safety-Wise and Capi-
talize", by Guy Permaul of the M. & C.
Office. One contestant, Maximo Maduro,
who is a messenger at the Instrument
department, went straight to the heart
of the matter by suggesting "Mucho Pla-
ca Contest". Many of the suggestions
turned in, while not exactly titles, would
make excellent slogans for the plan.
The contest committee, which judged
the titles and will continue to assist in
the direction of the plan, includes Jan
Beaujon (Chairman), Ram Harry Paul,
Tom Malcolm, Clifton Monroe, and Ro-
bert Schlageter.
The Italian army, before it was pushed
into its own backyard, had established a
high price ceiling on American jeeps. A
quotation during the latter part of the
Tunisian campaign was 2,000 lire reward
and a possible furlough for the soldier
who captured or destroyed a jeep,
whereas a tank captured or destroyed
rated only 1,000 lire, and a plane was
worth 2,000.

Seven Ideas For Off-the Job Safety
1. You wouldn't store incendiary
bombs in your garage. Gasoline is even
more dangerous.
2. The best thing to say about in-
flammable cleaning fluids is don't use
3. A roller skate or tricycle left in
the way when it's dark can make any
man fly through the air with the great-
est of ease!
4. For the ladies a good cook
keeps pot handles turned to the back of
the stove, so little Jane or Junior can't
get dangerously inquisitive.
5. Driving is probably safer on black
night than on moonlight ones. That
light isn't as strong as it seems! Parked
cars, or approaching cars without lights,
have a startling way of looming up like
a shot, especially on big-moon nights.
6. Give the pedestrian a break by
keeping your windshield clean of dust
or salt-spray at night, so you have at
least a 50-50 chance of seeing him.
7. Walking on the LEFT side of the
road, facing oncoming traffic, increases
any pedestrian's chance of living to see
the end of blackout and war.

the men who turned in the winning suggestions for the
naming contest (see page 1), are shown receiving dupli-
S(late awards of Fls. 25 from Jan Beaujon, Chairman of
the Safety Sweepstakes Committee. Mr. Sloterdgk, who
said it was "lucky money", planned to invest his prize
in you guessed it a Curacao lottery ticket.

because they are cut off close to the

Fricasseed Kitten and Mule Meat
One good turn deserves another, and
when the NEWS published an article in
the last issue about an 1888 Curagao
booklet, Dan Zilko of the Personnel de-
partment came forward with a copy of
an 1863 Civil War newspaper irom
Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Strangely enough both grew out of
the same thing the freeing of slaves
but on opposite sides of the question.
For the Curagao booklet commemorated
the freeing of slaves, while the Vicks-
burg Daily Citizen was a Confederate
slave State paper, speaking of the
"mongrel administration of Abe Lin-
Dated July 2, 1863, this issue of the
paper was written during General Ulys-
ses Grant's siege of the city. It is print-
ed on wallpaper, on the side without the
design, and is, naturally, 99 per cent
news of the Civil War.
Journalism was nothing if not bril-
liantly colored in that place and time.
In eulogizing a Vicksburg officer killed
in the siege, the editor writes: "May the
soft south winds murmur sweet re-
quiems o'er his name, and the twilight
dews fall gently like an angel's tear
drop and moisten his turfy bed".
The purple of that passage changes to
an angry red when he speaks of another
confederate newspaper which had been
captured by the Northerners, and "is
now edited by a pink-nosed slab-sided
toad-eating Yankee who is a lineal des-
cendant of Judas Iseariot".
The editor also takes a crack at war-
time hoarders and profiteers within the
besieged city, who were selling flour at
five dollars a pound, molasses at ten
dollars a gallon, and corn at ten dollars
a bushel. And he makes a good story of
two friends who served stewed kitten to
their guests, passing it off as rabbit and
being pleased when the guests exclaim-
ed that it was delicious.
The entire paper is Confederate news,
datelined July 2, except the last two
inches. The final article, a "Note", is
dated July 4, 1863:
"Two days brings about great
changes. The banner of the Union floats
over Vicksburg and the Citizen lives to
see it. For the last time it appears on
wallpaper. No more will it eulogize the
luxury of mule meat and fricasseed kit-
ten urge Southern warriors to such
diet nevermore. This is the last wall-
paper Citizen, and is, excepting this
note, from the types as we "yankee
printers" found them."

Lago All-Stars Take Game and
Cup From Sabaneta Schutters
Piling up the substantial margin of 5
to 2, the Lago All-Stars won their
second meeting with the Sabaneta
Schutters August 7, and took possession
of the cup that was presented by the
Company. Their first game over a
month ago was a tie, with Lago barely
holding on, but Lago was always on top
the second time. The trophy (see cutj
will be presented to the winners at the
sports meet August 31.
The game started slowly, with Saba-
neta scoring first. Soon afterward the
soldiers' fullback stopped with his hands
a Lago forward's shot to the goal, and
Angel Chirino made the penalty kick
good, to tie the score 1 1 at half time.
In the second half "Chummy" Quandt
made it 2 1 for Lago, then Damien
Tromp, with a spectacular kick from
near the center of the halfback line,
made it 3 1. Chirino scored again,
with a shot passed by Jose Paulino at
left wing, the ball barely escaping the
goalkeeper. Romulo Franken scored one
for the soldiers to make it 4 -- 2, but
in the last few minutes Hans Nahar,
playing right wing, moved into center
and scored the fifth goal.
Angel Chirino and Otilio Paulina
starred for Lago (though the whole
team "clicked" well) and Pablo Steenbar
and Romulo Franken were outstanding
for the soldiers.

Questions and Answers
Q. What is the name of the new Safety
A. "The Safety Sweepstakes".
Q. Who is eligible to be in it?
A. Every employee in the plant partici-
Q. Do departments compete against
each other?
A. No, each department competes only
against its own safety record of the
past five years.
Q. What are the prizes?
A. Half-tickets in the Bond Fortuna
(Curagao Lottery) will be prizes in
the monthly contests. At the end of
1943, the grand prizes will be whole
tickets, distributed on exactly the
same basis as the monthly prizes.
Q. How does a department win the
A. At the end of each month starting in
August, each department's safety
record for that month will be com-
pared against its five-year record. To
win tickets, a department must
improve its past safety record. (De-
partments with perfect records must
keep them perfect to win). The
number of tickets won depends on
how great a safety improvement is
made. For example, a group having
105 employees which improves its ac-
cident record 50 per cent in August
would receive three half-ticket prizes.
Q. Who in the department gets the
tickets ?
A. This will be decided by chance. All
payroll numbers of the department
will be placed in a container, and the
men whose numbers are drawn will
receive the tickets.
Q. How soon after the end of 'each
month will this be done?
A. No definite date can be set, but it
will be as soon as the safety records
for all departments can be calculat-
ed, and the necessary number of
tickets purchased.
Q. Does Safety pay dividends?
A. YES it pays dividends in health
all the time, and during the Safety
Sweepstakes it will pay dividends in
fortune too.

torpedo hit. The ship, loaded with pig
iron, sank very rapidly, but not before
a second torpedo struck, smashing one
of the lifeboats and killing an officer
and several of the crew. Three lifeboats
left the scene, one with the Captain,
First Officer, and seamen, a second with
seamen only, and the third with
Atkinson and 20 other men.
His boatload, which soon became se-
"HEY MA! TELL GSANDPAW AVO tS TO

parated from the others, included only
one A.B. seaman the rest were gun-
crew members, firemen, and two stew-
ards. Soon after the start of their 15-
day voyage to land, the boat was nearly
capsized by a gun-crew man unfamiliar
with steering. After that Atkinson and
the A.B. took alternate watches, a
strain that told heavily on them.
For water each man got two ounces
morning and night (about equal to one-
quarter of an inch in a drinking glass).
By a freak of bad fortune they ruined
part of their water: during a storm one
night they gratefully caught rain in
their sail, dumping it into one of the
water containers. Daylight showed them
that the water had been contaminated by
the brilliant red dye of the sailcloth!
One man persisted in drinking Emall
quantities of sea water, and could not
be stopped. He died of the effects five
days after they landed, the only one of
the 21 who did not survive the ex-
They reached the African coast at a
point where a landing looked easy, but
hidden rocks broke up the boat several
hundred yards out, and many of the
men were injured before they reached
the shore.
It was a barren and uninhabited re-
gion, but they fanned out and eventually
found civilization; finally they got to
Cape Town, where many other ship
survivors were awaiting return to
England. Atkinson learned later that
the Captain's boat had been picked up,
but he has never heard whether or not
the boatload of seamen was found.
Atkinson, who is 20 years old, has
been at sea since he was 14. Like the
tremendous majority of those men who
have survived the attacks of Nazi sub-
marines, he goes on with the sea.

40 as at 20 miles per hour?
That, for longer life, tire manufactu-
rers recommend an air pressure of 30 to
34 pounds rather than 28 to 30 pounds?
(The 28-30 means easier riding, but the
30-34 means longer riding).

DeductiveThinking Wiki
DeductiveThinking.com is a scientific risk assessment and modelling website. This wiki, that we like to call Wiki of Knowledge, is focused on Science, Modelling and Risk Assessment, using inductive and deductive thinking approaches and free/open source software tools. The main idea of this wiki is to present methodology for Science and Research. The topics which this site is focused on in its beginning, would be modern epidemiological models, linear models, generalized linear models and meta-analysis, and predictive microbiology models as growth/death models using time and other factors affecting pathogens. Although, in this early stage food safety is targeted, the same principles apply also to other fields, as biological, medical and business modelling and risk assessment. Exploring this website you can find:
- Deductive Thinking
- Epidemiology
- Meta-analysis
- Modelling
- Risk Assessment
- Free/Open Source Software Tools
On this wiki of the website materials and methods for the above areas can be found. You can select one by clicking one of the areas listed above or you can return to the DeductiveThinking main website. Also you could try to the DeductiveThinking Blog, where news and events regarding to the risk assessment, modelling and free/open source software are presented.
The wiki is a form of communication and anybody is welcome to contribute to this public discussion. We like to call it Wiki of Knowledge, because hopefully it will concentrate material and methodology, applicable directly to Science or to Business. In this way, the reader will be able to find easily helpful information on his work concentrated in a stored knowledge-base.

Frederick, MD — Initially, it was Tom Watkins who called the Gold's Gym in Frederick, MD, to inquire about working out there. After Watkins had second thoughts — six months' worth of second thoughts — owner Chris Maddox finally convinced Watkins to train at the club.
There was a time when Watkins was self-conscious about how he looked, and it had nothing to do with his being overweight. Watkins, a Vietnam War veteran who earned two Purple Hearts, lost his left leg after being shot as a Miami, FL, police officer. Today, Watkins has no more inhibitions. He has been training with Maddox since 2006 and has lost 65 pounds.
Both Watkins and Maddox were honored in July at the Gold's Gym convention in Las Vegas. Watkins was the winner of the Change Your Body, Change Your Life competition. Maddox, who also serves as a Washington, DC, firefighter, won the Gold's Gym President's Award.
Watkins works with Maddox, who was a trainer before he owned the club, for about one hour a day, three days a week, and they see each other at the club six days a week. The 60-year-old Watkins says he's in better shape now than he was 15 years ago.
"I owe it all to Chris because he encouraged me to come in and pushed me, pushed me, pushed me," Watkins says. "I don't want to think of where I'd be right now if I hadn't [come to the club]. I've gotten to the point where I don't even realize I don't have a leg. I don't consider myself handicapped at all. You can't put a price on feeling good."
Maddox says: "Tom never gives himself any credit. He motivates pretty much everybody in this gym. He can do everything that anyone else can do, and probably even better."

One of my readers sent me the following story. You be the judge as to the true guilty party.
AT&T billed me $667.91 with no explanation of the charges on the phone bill. When I called them they said that it was a charge for my phone because the credit card charges had been disputed by the person that purchased the phone. I told them that I had purchased the phone legally from a co-worker they did not care. They have refused to give me any details on the charges. They even refused to do any investigation into their facts to make sure that I do owe the money. They finally, after several hours agreed to investigate it but still will not tell me much. What I have been told as of now is; the phone was charged with an American Express card, the phone was shipped but not to the address the credit card was registered to. They also tell me that no receipt was requested for the phone upon delivery. (I find this very strange. You would not send out a phone worth more than $600 and not ask for a signature of the recipient). They cannot explain how I ended up with the phone. They said that they are not concerned with that. They have also told me that the charge was put on my account by an AT&T store but when asked which one they refused to tell me. I also know that several employees at the Burbank store, including the one that sold the phone to my co-worker, have been fired for "questionable actions". I said to them "If this phone is stolen than call the police and I can take care of it from there." (Another strange action, if it was stolen the first thing you do is get a police report). I guess they don't want anyone looking too deep into their actions. They said they would not make any call but if I do not pay it they would take me to court for it. It seems strange that they seem to only go after me when they even talked to the person that sold it to me who told them that he was the one that bought it from the Burbank store. If it was really stolen as they claim than why did not try to get my co-worker to pay for it. This whole thing stinks of a scam by AT&T to make up money that a dishonest employee took.

A new ad for the vegetarian brand Lightlife reimagines Old Macdonald's Farm as a Tim Burton-esque setting populated with animals composed of different vegetables, like walking, lowing, pecking jigsaw puzzles of plant matter. The commercial's vegetable animals are cute the way that Frankenweenie dog is cute, though, if we're being insufferably literal, I'm not sure it'd be any easier to cudgel a cow made out of bell peppers and red onions than a real cow, especially if they were both mooing plaintively. Also, onion milk sounds very gross, so let's just all hope vegetable cows' udders are made of cocoa beans.
