JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Mar. 22, 2012) – On the heels of a 3-1 home victory of UNC Asheville during the midweek, the ETSU (11-8) baseball team opens the Atlantic Sun road schedule at Florida Gulf Coast (8-13) beginning on Friday.
Game times for this weekend's three-game series are at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, 1 p.m. on Saturday and 12 p.m. on Sunday. Each game can be heard on the Buccaneer Sports Network and online at ETSUBucs.com. Live stats will also be available for the entirety of the series.
Senior right-hander John Long (Anderson, S.C.) (4-1, 3.65 ERA) will draw the start against FGCU sophomore right-hander Ricky Knapp (3-1, 1.65 ERA) to kick off the weekend set. Long is coming off his first defeat of the season after starting a perfect 4-0. However, he still leads the league in wins and in innings pitched (37.0). Meanwhile, Knapp is fifth in the Atlantic Sun with his 1.65 ERA on the season.
Saturday's matinee will pit ETSU junior right-hander Derek Bushey (Richmond, Va.) (1-2, 4.70 ERA) versus FGCU junior southpaw Andrew Polly (2-1, 5.24 ERA).
Sophomore right-hander Jake Long (Anderson, S.C.) (2-1, 2.83 ERA) will face off against Eagle senior Jason Forjet (0-2, 3.26 ERA) in Sunday's finale. In his most recent outing, Long worked a season-high 7.0 innings last Saturday against Belmont to earn his second win of the season after allowing five hits and three runs, with four strikeouts, in ETSU's 8-3 triumph. On the season, Long has 24 K's and has permitted 15 walks in 28.2 innings.
ETSU and Florida Gulf Coast met three times last season in Johnson City, with the Bucs emerging victorious in two of the three contests. However, FGCU owns a 10-3 advantage in the all-time series as the Eagles won nine of the previous 10 meetings prior to last season.
Last season in Johnson City, the two teams combined to score 63 runs in the series. The Bucs won the series opener 16-4 and the rubber match 11-5. FGCU took Saturday's game two 18-9. Former Buccaneer Bo Reeder was named A-Sun Player of the Week following the series last season after leading the way offensively for ETSU as he hit .429 (6-for-14) with two doubles, three home runs and seven RBI. Reeder became the second fastest Buccaneer to reach the 200-hit plateau on his second home run in the Saturday contest.
In ETSU's 3-1 victory over UNC Asheville on Tuesday, the Buccaneer pitching staff allowed just one run and five hits in nine innings of work. Starter Jimmy Nesselt (Plantation, Fla.) got his first career win after tossing three scoreless innings. The bullpen allowed just one run and four hits in six innings, while Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) earned his fourth save of the season. The bullpen lowered its combined ERA to an impressive 2.67 on the year, while the ETSU pitching staff as a whole owns a 3.65 ERA.
The Bucs are led at the plate by sophomore Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) and senior Matthew Scruggs (Knoxville, Tenn.). Freeman leads the squad with a .397 average to go along with three homers and 19 RBI. Meanwhile, Scruggs is the nation's leader with 10 home runs, while hitting at a .333 clip. Scruggs also leads the team in runs scored (23) and RBI (20).
Florida Gulf Coast is coming off two losses at Texas Tech during the midweek after taking two of three from North Florida in its A-Sun opener.

Super Bowl XIII, 1979. Pittsburgh leads Dallas 21-14 in the third quarter.
"Third down and three, Dallas at the Pittsburgh 10 … Roger back to throw, has a man open in the end zone … caught, touchdown -- dropped! Dropped in the end zone! Jackie Smith, bless his heart, he's got to be the sickest man in America."
* * *
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- We're inside the CBS Sports bus, cool and plush on a steam-pressed Florida afternoon. The next day, Verne Lundquist will do the play-by-play on Florida's big win over LSU. But for now his words have transported us to another place: Everett, Wash., where he grew up in the late 1940s. He is talking about religion, and sports, and voices.
"In third grade we would play tackle football every afternoon in a vacant lot next to my dad's church," he says. "I would insist on wearing a jersey with the number 37. Doak Walker. He was the biggest star in college football then, and they used to carry all Doak Walker's games on the radio nationwide. I'm not sure who called those games. Maybe a guy named Al Helfer. He used to do the Mutual baseball games back then.
"Anyway, I would sit there and listen to the call of Doak Walker's games on the radio, and in a way it would remind me of my father in church. I have such vivid memories of participating in the liturgy, of hearing him speak. I inherited my dad's lack of fear of speaking in public. To some extent, I inherited his voice."
Verne Lundquist thought about becoming a Lutheran minister like his father. He decided he was more suited for broadcasting sports. It was a good call. Verne Lundquist has made a lot of good calls.
We will deal with his most famous ones along the way, but first, the slightly less famous: Verne called Tonya Harding vs. Nancy Kerrigan at the '94 Winter Olympics. He called George Mason over UConn in March Madness. He called the Fog Bowl. He called Happy Gilmore's epic Tour Championship win over Shooter McGavin. We could go on for a while here. If you have watched a lot of sports over the past 40 years, Verne Lundquist has been a part of your life. He has put words, in the moment, to some of sports' most meaningful stories. He saw what just happened, same as you, and he can't believe it either.
He was the radio voice of the Dallas Cowboys in that great Super Bowl against the Steelers. A few days before the game he had interviewed Jackie Smith. Smith was 38 years old, a future Hall of Famer who played 15 years with St. Louis and signed with the Cowboys for one last season. He told Verne he hoped he could end his career with a catch that mattered for a touchdown in the Super Bowl. The ball bounced off his chest. The Cowboys lost by four.
"The reason I said 'Bless his heart,'" Verne says, "was I knew what it meant to him."
* * *
The Masters, 1986. Jack Nicklaus, 46 years old, looks over his putt on the 17th green.
"Go back 11 years to 1975, and Nicklaus in that terrific tournament with Tom Weiskopf and Johnny Miller. Replace the names for 1986 with Ballesteros and Kite. It's remarkably reminiscent. And here's the constant. (Pause.) This is for sole possession of the lead."
(Nicklaus hits the putt.)
* * *
Before the Masters and the Super Bowl, there were thousands of hours of games in nearly empty stadiums, to tiny regional audiences, watched on TV by just girlfriends and gamblers. His first network job was with ABC, and here's how he knew that job had run its course: ABC didn't give him a slot for the 1980 Winter Olympics. Instead, they assigned him to bowling in Peoria.
Then they called back and said they were sending somebody else to bowling in Peoria.
But Verne tended to stick with things. As a kid, he and his best friend went to 62 straight Everett High School Seagulls basketball games. At age 12, after the family had moved to Austin, Texas, Verne got his first broadcasting job -- doing radio plays at the University of Texas. He played kids' parts for 20 straight weeks, until his voice changed and got too deep for the roles.
So as his ABC contract wound down, he stuck around, hoping. In 1982, CBS made him an offer, but it wasn't much -- six football games and two basketball games. Verne had just remarried. Eight games were not enough to live on. But it beat bowling in Peoria. He took it and started over. Two years later, he made the team for the Masters. Two years after that, Nicklaus made his charge.
Jack was 46. Verne was 45.
Nicklaus walked to the 17th green just as Seve Ballesteros bogeyed 15, leaving them tied. Verne was watching from a tower 20 feet off the ground and 30 feet behind the green. He had time to think. He knew what the putt could mean. He gave himself a pep talk.
Just don't screw it up.
He uses this clip when he gives speeches, so he has seen it a thousand times. He is proudest of two things. One: At the instant he says "Yes, SIR!" Nicklaus raises both arms in the air, as if they had choreographed the moment together. Two: After he sets up the putt -- "This is for sole possession of the lead" -- he doesn't say another word until 15 seconds later, that quick "Maybe ..." just before the ball drops in the hole.
"The silence," he says. "I think I'm as proud of that as the call itself."
I ask him about something I've always wondered about that moment. As Nicklaus crouches at the edge of the green to eyeball the putt, you can hear a train whistle. It blows in the background as Verne goes through his setup. It blows again just as Nicklaus strikes the putt. Didn't that train drive you crazy? I ask. Didn't the guys in the truck go nuts when the stupid train horned in on the big moment?
Verne pauses. It's a long pause.
"There's a train?"
* * *
The NCAA East Regional final, 1992. Kentucky leads Duke 103-102 in overtime. A lot of people watching believe it is already the greatest college basketball game ever played. But there are still 2.1 seconds left. Grant Hill throws the long inbounds pass.
"There's the pass to Laettner. Puts it up … YESSS!"
* * *
In the beginning, Verne watched and listened to his game tapes over and over, picking out the spots where he repeated adjectives, or talked about the same player too much. Now he trusts himself.
"You talk to people, you learn things, you absorb all the information," he says. "Every memorable call. … Well, we all know guys who write things out. I think the most memorable calls are the ones that come from reaction and response."
Think about Laettner's last shot for a second. Imagine yourself with the microphone. Could you limit yourself to nine words? Could you resist talking over the Duke players in a dogpile on the court, Thomas Hill off to the side crying with joy, the Kentucky players slumped in pain? Could you let your nine words, none too fancy, stand for the moment?
Frank Chirkinian, the longtime producer of the Masters, once told Verne: You're a headline writer. Verne tells himself all the time: Don't get in the way.
After he said his nine words, and the buzzer sounded, Verne took off his headset and put it down.
"I didn't watch that replay for 11 years," he says. "I thought we did a pretty good job with it. I didn't want the reality to intrude on my remembrance."
A few minutes after the game ended, Verne walked out on the court. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski was still there. He turned to Verne and said, "I knew if we could get it in the son-of-a-bitch's hands, he'd make the shot."
Verne does not consider himself a selfish man. But three years ago, he was watching the Big East tournament when Syracuse and Connecticut played six overtimes. Along the way, somebody started talking about whether it might be the greatest college basketball game ever played.
Oh no, no, no, Verne said to himself. I did the greatest game ever played.
* * *
The 2005 Masters. Tiger Woods chips from just off the sloping green on 16. He hits the ball well to the left of the hole. It lands and turns toward the pin.
"Well, here it comes …"
(Four feet from the hole.)
"Oh. My. Goodness."
(The ball rolls to the lip. Hangs.)
(Then drops in.)
"Oh, WOW. (Pause.) In your LIFE have you seen anything like that?"
* * *
The only complaint he has about his life now is the travel. He has a new left knee, and that means pat-downs at every airport. Verne is not fond of the TSA.
He recently signed a new two-year contract with CBS. He'll still do SEC football and the Masters. He's cutting back on basketball some -- just four regular-season games before the tournament. It means he can take off January and February, then May, June and July. Verne is 72 now. He and his wife, Nancy, have been married 30 years. They live in Atlanta during football season, and Steamboat Springs, Colo., the rest of the year.
If you poke around on the Internet, you can find people who think Verne is a lousy announcer. He might or might not have called Nick Saban "Dick Saban." He might or might not have started the phrase "bucket list" with an F. He does, without a doubt, say "Oh. My. Goodness" a lot.
He also, during the Florida-LSU game, called Mike Gillislee's game-sealing TD with the economy of a martial artist: Run blitz … Gillislee … touchdown, Florida!
His favorite call of all time is Vin Scully on the Kirk Gibson home run against Oakland in the 1988 World Series. The home run call itself is wonderful -- "High fly ball into right field … she is … GONE!" But Verne loves what happened next. Scully didn't speak again for more than a minute. And then he said: "In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened."
"I met Vin one time and I said, how did you do that?" Verne says. "He said 'I don't know.' I don't know where what I say comes from, either. I just know we all talk about television being a visual medium, and then we destroy that concept. We don't need to say much. A few words can mean everything."
I didn't understand, even as I was talking to Verne Lundquist, exactly why I wanted to write about him. Then I was telling my wife about the Jack Nicklaus putt, and the Christian Laettner shot … and all of a sudden I started to cry. Those moments touch something deep, in the same way a great song does, or an incredible movie, or a beautiful painting. They show us what we're capable of feeling. And trying to put words to those feelings … well, that's not a bad job to have. Because a few words can mean everything.
After Tiger Woods' ball drops into the hole, and Verne Lundquist wonders if in your LIFE you've ever seen anything like that, he is silent for 28 seconds. And then, just as the crowd has caught its breath, he adds four words:
This guy's pretty good.

NEW YORK (AP) - President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in New York and Long Island.
The declaration makes federal funding available to people in the area. It bore the brunt of the sea surge from a superstorm that hit the East Coast on Monday.
The National Hurricane Center said that as of 5 a.m. Tuesday, the storm was moving westward across Pennsylvania and was centered about 90 miles west of Philadelphia.
It lost its hurricane status on Monday and is now considered an extratropical cyclone.
It is expected to move into western New York on Tuesday night and move into Canada on Wednesday.

Welcome to the Trempealeau County Sheriff's Office Web Page. The Trempealeau County Sheriff's Office began operation in 1854 and has since been dedicated to serving and protecting the 27,393 citizens of Trempealeau County by providing them with safe and secure communities. Serving as the Sheriff of Trempealeau County has provided me with an opportunity to utilize my skills and experience in overseeing our county's law enforcement agency and protecting the citizens of our county.
As the county's leading law enforcement agency the primary purpose of the Trempealeau County Sheriff's Office is to provide quality law enforcement services to the citizens we serve through the promotion of community safety. Sheriff's Office employees continually strive to prevent crime when possible, intervene appropriately when crimes occur, and improve individual and community capacities to prevent future crime in the most cost effective way. As county employees we operate on behalf of and are accountable to both the people who are directly affected by crime and our community at-large.
Over the years law enforcement has been continuously evolving moving towards the trend of community oriented policing. Community policing provides law enforcement with an opportunity to take a more "proactive" rather than reactive approach to law enforcement. This philosophy focuses on crime and social disorder through the delivery of police services that includes aspects of traditional law enforcement, as well as prevention, problem-solving, community engagement and partnerships. As law enforcement officers it is our responsibility and dedication to promote the relationship between law enforcement and the community through the development and promotion of "credibility, responsibility, integrity, and professionalism".

Tower tours were at 11am and 12 noon with further ones through the afternoon though the early afternoon ones may well be booked up because a school is bringing two classes along to see what's what.
The Project Team
Here are some of today's photos you've captured.
WatchPoint Report part 1.
Watchpoint Report Part 1 - 10.30am to 2.00 pm
Not a great deal to report this morning unfortunately. We never saw the falcon from the ground although, as we were setting-up at about 10.30, one of the adults flew into the nest platform and wasn't seen to emerge (although we were quite busy and may have missed it leaving again). The tiercel spent two long periods sat on the J of Jury's Inn giving good views.
On the Tower Tours, we saw the remains of several prey items including Song Thrush and Little Grebe as well as seeing the tiercel fly off from Jury's Inn at about 11.45 and landing briefly on the nest platform in a rain shower at around noon before returning to his perch on the J.
Watchpoint Report Part 2 - 2.00pm to 4.00pm
Things remained quiet for the first part of the afternoon with the tiercel continuing to sit on the Jury's Inn sign. During a particularly heavy shower he again returned to the tower to take shelter underneath one of the arches above the nest platform for a while, before disappearing. He was later seen back on the hotel lettering. There was a steady stream of people including a large party of school children, as well as some Dutch visitors who were suitably impressed! It was also good to meet several of you who have contributed to the blog. Unfortunately from the ground it was not possible to see the exciting developments taking place on the scrape, as both falcon and chicks stayed well hidden. However, on the last tower tour we were treated to some lovely views of the newly hatched fourth chick, whilst watching the live images on the monitor in the bell ringing chamber. Perfect timing!! The chicks were fed for around ten minutes, after which the falcon then settled back down to brooding them.

District name: Jasper County (just make it the name of your county)
District description: The voting district includes the entire county.
District boundaries: County lines are the district boundaries.
Mutliple districts
If your county has more than one voting district, each district should be named in this system the same way they are named by your county election authority (i.e. District I, District II, etc. or Northern District, Southern District, etc.).
If you have a map of your county showing the voting district boundaries, you can link to it. The map should be a JPG or PDF file and should be stored in your county website. If it is a JPG, place it in the images folder; if it is a PDF file, place it in the documents folder. You can upload it with the file manager in WebTool, or if you are still using FrontPage, drag-drop it into the appropriate folder.
Don't rely solely on a map for defining/describing your districts. People with vision impairments will not be able to see the map, so you must provide a text description.

Laila Ali's Baby's Nursery For Sydney
A Sneak Peek Into Laila Ali's Whimsical Nursery
A Sneak Peek Into Laila Ali's Whimsical Nursery
Laila Ali has styled her daughter a beautiful respite from the chaos of daily life. The former boxer and Dancing With the Stars participant gave birth to her first daughter, Sydney J. Conway, two months ago, and we're getting a sneak peek into the lil one's cool and calm lair.

Epidemic of power abuse amongst local authorities as America sinks deeper into police state
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Friday, August 26, 2011
Ron Paul supporter and anti-drug war activist Ronnie Reeferseed was hauled away from an Austin City Council meeting and banned for a year for stating his name in a mildly satirical manner, in yet another example of how local officials are increasingly engaging in petty power trips to oppress the free speech rights of American citizens.
The video shows Ronnie introducing himself before Mayor Lee Leffingwell snarls, "you will stop there, step back, your time is up," and gestures for police officers to come and remove him from the podium.
Ronnie stated his satirical pseudonym in a, God forbid, mildly satirical manner, but the reaction of Leffingwell and the goons who removed him from the podium was a despicable and thuggish overreaction.
When other citizens present at the council meeting start to vocally complain about Ronnie's treatment, Mayor Leffingwell calls for order and then threatens them, "sit down, be quiet, or you'll be next."
Ronnie was subsequently banned from attending Austin City Council meetings for a year for violating Leffingwell's "rule of decorum," by merely stating his name.
Mayor Leffingwell has led an attempt to restrict citizens' free speech at council meetings by creating a new rule that a person can't speak on more that three agenda items per session.
Leffingwell's behavior is typical of the increasing trend of local officials who have forgotten that they are servants of the people and their job is to represent and hear out concerns of local residents, not boss them around.
In Quartzsite Arizona last month, Jennifer Jones was hauled away from a council meeting and arrested for criticizing Police Chief Jeff Gilbert , who later had the council declare martial law as a result of the bad publicity generated by the incident.
Also last month in Gould, Arkansas, the City Council moved to ban all gatherings and groups, no matter how small, from discussing city matters without prior permission from the authorities.
In an incident reported by Infowars this week, Republican Congressman Steve Chabot had cops grab the cameras of constituents during a town hall meeting in Cincinnati Ohio.
Watch Alex Jones' reaction to this incident in the clip below, as well as an interview with Ronnie Reeferseed himself. Ronnie points out that the council meeting room was packed with police, indicating that they had planned to haul him out ahead of time.

Finland joined the Community of Democracies as its mission is in line with the aspirations of our government. The promotion of democracy, the rule of law and human rights are among the key objectives of the Finnish Government.
The Community of Democracies brings together a unique coalition of democratic governments, civil society organizations and other actors that support democratic development. The recent upheavals in a number of countries highlight the growing need for international cooperation in promoting participatory democracy.
As Minister of Justice of my country, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the need to involve all groups in democratic processes. Yesterday, Finland, together with South Africa and UN Women, organized a side event on Women's Access to Justice. Active measures continue to be needed to secure that women can ensure their rights on an equal footing. Knowledge on human rights and democratic processes need to reach women and girls, too.
Furthermore, democratic societies need to make sure that minorities and indigenous peoples in practice have equal rights with regard to access to justice. As Finland, for instance, is a bilingual country, an individual can access court proceedings in his or her own language, Finnish or Swedish. Also the Sami, the indigenous people of Finland, can in their homeland area use their own language in contacts with authorities. We are currently taking special measures to promote the inclusion of especially young people and immigrants in the democratic processes of my country. We are also amending the Equality legislations in order to enhance the protection against all forms of discrimination in practice.
Mr. Chairman,
I believe Finland can share some good practices of promoting equality in the area of the rule of law and democracy. However, I do not think that any country can present itself as a model for others – every country has to find its own path to democracy and every government has to take responsibility for its own decisions. In terms of democracy and human rights, no country is perfect – but sharing experiences and pooling resources helps us get closer to these goals.
I thank you.

At some stage in your running life there will come a point when running holds a dual purpose. You will always do it because you love it, but along the way, a secondary voice will keep you going as well, the one that reminds you that you wantto keep running to stay healthy and feeling young.
When you are younger, it is easy to skip a workout here and there, eat whatever you want, and get much less sleep than you need and see no negative effects. Just as on a long run when the miles pile up and you can't quite even remember running them all, the years will start to pile on and suddenly you find yourself with an invitation to your 30th high school reunion and can't believe that much time has passed.
Luckily, as a runner, you don't feel much older on the inside or outside, but paying attention to the things you can do to extend your running life beginsto make sense.
Knowing how aging affects our bodies leads to training strategies that can help extend our running lives and three areas to focus on are strength training, nutrition and rest. We have all heard that muscles start to decrease with age as early as 35. The clinical term for this is sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, strength and function.
But what is generally thought of as 'normal' aging doesn't necessarily apply to runners. A 2008 UNH study confirmed that decline in muscle function was due to physical inactivity and not age. In this study, inactive women ages 18-33 and 65-84 participated in an eight week strengthening program or were assigned to a control group; results showed that strength training caused similar gains in muscle strength in both younger and older women. In 2011 study, UNH Kinesiology researchers studying aging and other factors related to running economy found that lower body strength did not differ among age groups but flexibility and upper body strength was much less in study individuals (runners) age 60 and over. So while running is protective of muscle strength in the lower body, additional upper body strengthening exercise such as lifting weights is required to keep upper body muscle mass and strength.
Another assumption related to aging is that as we get older, we gain weight. A 2007 study of over 8,000 runners published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that both men and women gained weight and increased waist and hip circumference over the seven years of the study even as they maintained the same weekly running mileage. Those who ran the most (over 29 miles a week) gained the least weight. So while the runners gained less weight in proportion to their levels of activity, they still gained.
One strategy to avoid this is to up your running mileage as you age. Another is to carefully examine your eating habits and (sadly) admit that while you may have been able to eat just about anything when you were a younger runner, this may not hold true as you get older.
And finally, the topic of sleep and rest days — a study published in the journal Lancet found that lack of sleep led to higher cortisol levels and interfered with glucose metabolism which both can affect running performance. Other studies have found that lack of sleep meant longer recovery time for muscles. In any case, running and exercise-induced muscle damage requires rest for repair, and the recovery period tends to increase as we age. The advice all runners hear to 'listen to their bodies' becomes more important as we age; we may require greater rest periods between harder workouts, and more sleep for example.
The best goal to have as a runner is to be able to keep running. Age only gets as much relevance as you are willing to give it. If you assume you are too old to do something, it becomes a self-fulfilling truth.We may have to adjust our training as we age, but if you look to the many masters and older runners as inspiration, you'll find a vibrant, healthy group of athletes who continue to train and race and enjoy what running has to offer.
Running Notes: The turkey trot season has begun. On Nov. 17, try the Tiger Trot 5K and 10 Miler in Hampton Falls to benefit the Lincoln Akerman School PTO.

Nancy Eckerson: Focus on strength training, nutrition and rest

Greige and Gold: Hot Color Combination
Pantone may be calling it a pink year, but to me the hot colors are neutrals, grays and creams and greiges of all varieties. Worried about being too subtle? See how a lot of designers are keeping things from getting dreary with a punch of gold.
Of course, gold often creates a sense of traditional luxury and glamor. But it is also effectively used in modern, neutral interiors as a way of providing a different texture without veering too far from the color palette.
Which neutral and gold combo is your favorite? Do you have a place in your home for gilt-y pleasure?

Additional Information
Porcelain in its natural form is textured in order for it to have a polished finish the tile needs to be grinded down and then buffed to a highly polished finish, this creates micro pours that will require sealing. All Polished Porcelain tiles sold by Topps Tiles are micro sealed at the factory unless otherwise stated on the box. This sealer will last approximately 12 months providing the correct cleaners are used. In most cases polished porcelain will also have a transit wax on to prevent damage during transportation, this will need to be removed with extra strong residue remover before grouting.
PREPARE: After grouting for an initial clean, use diluted residue remover for honed and polished stone. Allow the residue remover to sit on the tile at least 10 minutes to allow the grout residue to be broken down. The use of an emulsifying pad will aid with removal of grout residue.
CLEAN: To prevent the build up of deposits it is important that the correct cleaner is used, to maintain the tiles we suggest Tile & Stone Cleaner diluted.
Acidic or highly Alkaline cleaners are not recommended for maintenance of this tile as they will damage the life of the sealer .
*PLEASE NOTE: All of our Polished products have a protective micro sealer applied to them during the manufacturing process which protects against staining. This sealer will, depending on usage, last for 12-18 months at which point we recommend reapplying our Polished Protector to ensure that the tiles stay in top condition. Apply 2 coats with either a brush or a roller, allow each coat to dry thoroughly.
For more information on whether specific products will require sealing please speak to a member of store staff or contact us via our Web Chat.

Swedish and UNDP signed a Cost Sharing Agreement to support Transitional JusticeDec 24, 2013
The UNDP's Acting Resident Representative Mr. Mahamed Hassen and Mr. Anders Frankenberg, Head of MENA Unit of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) signed a Cost Sharing Agreement through which the SIDA will donate SEK 14,000,000 ($ 2,1 million, approximately) to support the Implementation of Transitional Justice Project in Yemen.
"Supporting the institutions that will establish facts about the past are of key importance for transitional justice process in Yemen," says the Minister of the Legal Affairs Mohammed Al-Mekhlafi. He also stressed that activities related to raising awareness on transitional justice and supporting Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have a crucial role in initiating and securing societal dialogue on the state, regional and local levels, and further promoting reparations, rights of the victims and vulnerable groups and making connections between institutions and citizens.
Mr. Frankenberg said that he believed that the SIDA donation would additionally contribute to achieving all of the project intended results.
Mr. Hassen also stressed that transitional justice is of critical importance for the transition period in Yemen, as stated in the 2011 November political agreement. Supporting CSOs and non-judicial bodies to investigate violations from the past and initiating raising awareness activities to understand the concept of the transitional justice helps to legitimize the transition justice process and secure a widely public acceptance.
The contribution is a part of multi-donor contribution. The Government of Yemen with the support of UNDP will continue fund-raising efforts in order to all the component of the project are fully funded to allow achievement of the intended results.

GEMA Vs. YouTube Hits The Three Year Mark As Rate Negotiations Fall Through Again
from the quite-possibly,-GEMA-hates-musicians,-Germans-and-anything-Google-related dept
Once this initial negotiation broke down, things went from frosty to litigious.
GEMA went on to sue YouTube in a 2010 test case for distributing copyrighted material without permission — holding it responsible for copyrighted material uploaded by its users. Then in April last year a German court ruled that YouTube must install software filters to prevent users uploading content whose rights GEMA holds.After a couple of lawsuits, GEMA returned to the "negotiating" table, this time with an offer a bit more in line with reality.
Die Welt reports that GEMA wants the German Patent and Trademark Office to arbitrate on whether its proposed rate of 0.375 cents per stream is appropriate — but YouTube is arguing for a lower rate.This doesn't really resemble a negotiation at this point. GEMA offers, Google counteroffers and all of a sudden, the home team's PTO is going to decide whether GEMA's preferred rate is "appropriate." But that's not all: GEMA is also suing YouTube to the tune (pun really not intended) of €1.6 million for the alleged unlicensed use of 1,000 songs from its catalog.
Not only that, but another German court is in the process of defining YouTube's role on the web, something that could potentially see YouTube remove itself entirely from Germany.
A Hamburg court is already arbitrating another row between GEMA and YouTube over how the platform should be defined. GEMA claims that YouTube is a content provider whose business model is built on content that is subject to royalties. YouTube, on the other hand, says it is a hosting service which simply makes space available to its users.The push here is to remove any sort of "safe harbor" (such as it exists in German law) and hold YouTube entirely responsible for anything uploaded by its users. Framing YouTube as a content provider puts it right in the legal crosshairs, which is where GEMA wants it. Despite the efforts made by YouTube to curtail infringement, GEMA still wants to see it pay more.
Of course, GEMA's doing this "for the artists." And those artists must be thrilled, what with the world's most popular video streaming site serving up this message, rather than actual videos, all too frequently.
And wouldn't you know it, GEMA also has a problem with the message posted by YouTube, which has become visual shorthand for the German YouTube Experience.
GEMA is demanding that YouTube take down the on-screen notice blocking music videos in Germany that blames GEMA for the impasse. In November last year, GEMA head Harald Heker accused YouTube of deliberately misleading German users with the notice.This sounds familiar. Those blocking or taking down videos for various violations seem to think that YouTube should keep them free from criticism, too. Considering YouTube has already negotiated licenses with various other PROs, including ASCAP and the infamous PRS, it certainly seems likely that GEMA's contentious relationship with, well, just about everyone, might have something to do with the "failure to license." GEMA can complain about the "impression" this message makes, but if it were solely up to Google, German citizens wouldn't be seeing this message at all. Here's Google's statement:
"The notice about GEMA is being posted wilfully, purely to stir opinion," he told WirtschaftsWoche magazine at the time. "YouTube is trying to awaken the false impression that the failure to license is GEMA's responsibility. That is simply wrong."
YouTube believes that rights holders and artists should benefit from their work. We have dozens of collection society deals in place across more than 45 countries because we provide an important source of income for musicians and a platform where new artists can be discovered and promoted. Music labels are generating hundreds of millions of dollars on YouTube every year. Artists, composers, authors, publishers, and record labels in Germany are missing this opportunity as a result of GEMA's decisions. We remain committed to finding a solution with GEMA compatible with YouTube's business model so that we can again provide a source of revenue for musicians and a vibrant platform for music lovers in Germany.That's the crux of the situation. The artists, composers, etc. aren't just missing these opportunities -- they're not even being allowed to have these opportunities, thanks to GEMA's insistence on combative, hardline tactics. GEMA hasn't done much for the artists it "represents," but it's doing a great job turning Germany into a cultural island.

By the end of this week, motorists in Brunswick County will have endured another inconvenient summer road closure because of a North Carolina Department of Transportation project.
The case of Army Pfc. Kelli Bordeaux, a combat medic stationed at Fort Bragg who was reported missing in April 2012, attracted national attention. She was last seen alive in the company of Nicholas Holbert, who had been convicted of sex crimes against a child, helped lead police to her remains two years later and is awaiting trial on murder and other charges related to her disappearance and death. Although Holbert was a known sex offender, he was not registered because he was living in the woods behind the bar where he met Bordeaux and had no permanent address.
As the campaign to preserve the Battleship North Carolina as the state's memorial to its World War II veterans continues to make significant progress, efforts to establish an all-inclusive monument for our military servicemen and –women in Brunswick County deserve our recognition and support.
As the Project Lazarus initiative gains ground to combat Brunswick County's prescription drug overdose crisis, we are obliged to cite a program already working toward that end: Drug Treatment Court.
It is easy to get caught up in the festivities that accompany Independence Day weekend, especially among the many events planned in Brunswick County, but safety must be considered for celebrations that require any amount of travel. AAA estimates 41.9 million people — the most in eight years — will travel during this holiday period.
Summer weather arrived before summer itself did this year in Brunswick County with temperatures soaring and heat indexes in the triple digits. The heat itself has not been unusual, but it seems to have been more oppressive and stifling than usual despite the frequent breezes from our coastline.
In recent years, summer safety efforts have focused on rip currents. In recent weeks, it has targeted shark encounters. The risk of heat exhaustion and stroke at this time of year, however, exists regardless of whether anyone sets foot in the ocean or even on the beach.
We feel it is safe to say everyone in Brunswick County is as sorry to read about three separate shark encounters that left three children injured within four days along our beaches as we are to report them. Our community strives to be hospitable, welcomes visitors and wants all to enjoy the time they spend here.
Perhaps the most maddening aspect of the story is the fact no one is at fault for what happened, especially to the children who were maimed at Oak Island last Sunday afternoon.
Regardless of whether motorists like them, roundabouts (or traffic circles) seem to be the ways of the future for busy Brunswick County intersections.
The small one at First Street on the island of Ocean Isle Beach took some getting used to once it opened several years ago. A larger version was successfully installed at the foot of the Mannon C. Gore Bridge to Sunset Beach island last summer and, despite initial trepidation, appears to function as intended.
Nearly two weeks ago, North Brunswick High School won the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Class 2A boys' track-and-field state championship for a second straight year. Including indoor titles, the Scorpions, coached by Garry Bishop, have won four straight track state championships.
North sophomore Jayhlen Washington, who won the long jump and the triple jump and finished second in the 110-meter hurdles race, was the Most Valuable Athlete.
Memorial Day affords us a chance to pause, remember and acknowledge those who have died in military service to our country. But let us also spare a thought for the veterans and active service members, as well as their families, and the sacrifices they have made.
Despite lower property valuations, Brunswick County has opted to remain revenue neutral, meaning the board of commissioners will not raise taxes in the coming fiscal year. On the surface this is wonderful news for taxpayers, but the reality is they cannot expect the same level of service from the county. Maintaining services at their current levels requires money the county will not have.
When Shallotte native Robert Stanley founded the Beacon in 1962, he dedicated the newspaper to "the continued progress of Brunswick County." When he died last year, friends and family said he took great pride in publicly standing on the "right side of history during civil rights struggles in the turbulent '60s."
More than 50 years later, the Beacon maintains the stand Stanley took: That the Ku Klux Klan contributes nothing to the improvement of our community.
After a relatively uneventful summer last year, it would have been easy to forget four people died in less than 36 hours on Brunswick County's beaches the previous summer.
Soon after the deaths, which were ultimately blamed on dangerous rip currents, county and municipal officials thoroughly reviewed their policies, procedures and practices to ensure the very best efforts were being made to keep residents and visitors safe on our coast.
With every passing day, we lose more and more World War II veterans, members of our nation's greatest generation. Now, we are in danger of losing our state's monument to them and others who lost their lives in that war.
All residents of Brunswick County — including elected officials — have the right to voice their opinions on matters that affect their way of life. When the public cannot discern whom its elected officials are representing, however, it raises legitimate questions about potential conflicts of interest. Sunset Beach Town Councilman Wilson Sherrill and Mayor Ron Watts have found themselves the subject of such questions in the past month.
Maybe the loss of privilege licenses will not affect the bottom line of Brunswick County's municipalities much, but Senate Bill 369 certainly will if it should become law.
It appears the economic recovery in Brunswick County is gaining momentum based on construction projects in progress.
Congratulations to Les Tubb, who has become Brunswick County Schools' 10th superintendent in 30 years after serving in an interim capacity twice in five years.
Every county in North Carolina has either a coroner or a medical examiner, though most by now employ the latter. Brunswick County is not among them, with Greg White having served as our coroner for the past 30 years.
To report a single fire death during the course of a winter is terrible. To report five of them in less than 48 hours is beyond horrific, especially because four victims in the five fires reported in five days last week were members of a Supply family that included a 3-year-old boy and his pregnant mother.
Compounding that tragedy is the fact their mobile home had no smoke detectors. We will never know if having one would have saved their lives, but we know it would have increased their chances of survival.

There is no love on Earth like a mother's love. It's unconditional and all-consuming and more powerful than anything else I know. And we love our children completely: Their hands, their faces, the way they smell, their voices, the way they look when they're sleeping ... All of them.
Well, all of them, except for a few little things. In fact, some things about our kids, we simply can't stand. Here are the top 25 things about their kids that drive my friends crazy ...
1. Telling me "one second" for EVERYTHING I tell him to do. - Nancy
2. The door slamming that will eventually break the whole damn house. - Jamie
3. Hearing the word "but", which is always followed by all the reasons I should change my mind about something I've already decided. - Marie
4. Incessant whining when they don't get their way. The worst is when this escalates into a full-on public tantrum. - Erin
5. Like Mom, it's like this, like, like, like ... Holy crap she says the word like a million times a day! - Kellie
6. You know when you are on the phone and suddenly you are soooooo irresistible to your offspring??? - April
7. I wish my 5-year-old would keep his damn hands off of his sisters. He's constantly hitting, pinching, pushing, and grabbing at them. I say KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF YOUR SISTERS more than any other words. All.Day.Long. - Natalie
8. Yelling "help me" in every store we go in! One of these days someone is going to think I'm abducting him. - Amanda
9. Fighting sleep ... every nap, every night for bed. Once in a great while, she will fall asleep no problem. Then it's like a miracle and I want to have a party. - Sarah
10. He mimics a friend of his who does this spit slurping thing between sentences and it MAKES. ME. INSANE. Even more so than the whining. - Beth
11. Her 'one second!!' reply with attitude when I tell her to brush her teeth and put pajamas on. In fact, she says it every time I ask her to do something. - Megan
12. My 5-year-old always procrastinates. It takes him 20 minutes to brush his teeth. Drives me crazy. - Stefanie
13. The constant chatter. He's not usually even saying anything to anyone, it's just constant noise out of his mouth. - Summer
14. My kids fighting over everything!!! We could have three of everything and they'd still fight over one toy! - Shannon
15. My 6-year-old thinking everyone wants to see his penis ... Really??? - Carolyn
16. Like. As in, "Mommy, today, I was like, you know, going to like school, and like had to like talk to like her." Maddening. - Eryn
17. I'd love to have him quit telling me how much he hates school ... he's in freakin second grade, how can you hate school already? - Dawn
18. I would like the eliminate the words: I don't know. Period. Every question to my 13-year-old on why he did something he wasn't supposed to is "I don't know", yes, you do know. Now answer my damn question! - Patricia

To absolutely no surprise whatsoever, EA announced that they will be releasing the Sims 2 on all the home consoles and the DS and PSP. What's the difference?

Xbox 2/360 To Be Revealed On MTV
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Xbox 360,
Microsoft has finally made all the details about their upcoming Xbox 2/360 reveal on MTV public knowledge. Hosted by Elijah Wood and The Killers, MTV Presents: The Next Generation Xbox Revealed will be a 30-minute special focused on the next generation Xbox. Microsoft is aiming big on this one, as the show will air on MTV channels in the US, Asia, and Europe all within 24 hours - an industry first. The MTV website will continue providing Xbox 2/360 coverage after the show airs, and let's be honest, a commercial-laden 30 minute show which also features a performance or two by The Killers isn't going to provide a whole lot of depth as far as the Xbox 360 goes.

GameStop / Electronics Boutique Merger Conference
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News,
If you haven't heard by now, GameStop has made the decision to purchase Electronics Boutique for $1.44 billion. This may not seem like that big a deal to the casual gamer, since both GameStop and EB Games stores are often quite interchangable, but the big thing here is what is going on behind the scenes. The merger will create about 3200 GameStop stores nationwide, giving them almost as much video game selling power as the almight Wal-Mart. Check out the online merger announcement webcast from GameStop.

Dating, love and marriage fuel Kavinoky's production of a popular revue
Before penning the book and lyrics for the 2009 musical "Memphis" and the book for 2012's "Nice Work If You Can Get It," lyricist and playwright Joe DiPietro cut his teeth on the musical revue "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change." The show, which opened in an off-Broadway theater to tepid reviews in 1996, ran for more than 5,000 performances before closing in 2008. It remains the second-longest-running off-Broadway musical in history.
The Kavinoky Theatre (320 Porter Ave.) opens its own production of the crowd-pleasing show at 8 p.m. Friday. The piece, set to music by Jimmy Roberts, is a series of vignettes that begins as an exploration of the dating scene in Manhattan and becomes a rumination on relationships in general. The theater promises a production "as funny as it is poignant."
The Kavinoky's production, directed by managing director Joseph Demerly, stars Kelly Meg Brennan, Charmagne Chi, John Fredo and Brian Riggs. It runs through July 7. Tickets are $35 to $39. Call 829-7668 or visit www.kavinokytheatre.com for more information.

- FA Cup
Rooney in spot of bother with Fergie after penalty miss
This season, the FA Cup is live on ESPN all the way to the final at Wembley. Click for details on how to subscribe
Sir Alex Ferguson expressed his frustration at Manchester United's poor record from the penalty spot following Wayne Rooney's miss from 12 yards in their 1-0 win over West Ham.
Rooney, who scored the winner on his return from injury, blazed a spot-kick into the Stretford End in United's victory, which set up an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Fulham on January 26.
United have now missed the majority of their penalties this season, with Rooney the culprit twice and Robin van Persie, Javier Hernandez and Nani the others at fault in their five failures. Rooney has now missed 10 of 27 penalties he has taken for United.
Ferguson compared his own team's troubles from the penalty spot with some of the most successful penalty takers elsewhere.
"I don't think it's one of these things, I think we have to improve on that," he said. "There was talk about the boy [Rickie] Lambert at Southampton who has scored 31 out of 31. That's what penalty kick taking is all about.
"There are several great examples over the years. [Matt] Le Tissier, 47 out of 48. There was a player in Scotland played for Rangers [Johnny Hubbard], 57 in a row. Your penalty kick is your opportunity to take an advantage - whether it's a foul or a handball - of scoring a goal."
Hubbard was a striker in the 1950s who scored 65 times out of 68 from the spot at a time when Ferguson was a teenage Rangers fan.
Ferguson also hailed centre-backs Phil Jones and Chris Smalling for helping his team keep a clean sheet against the Hammers.
He added: "Absolutely brilliant, the two of them, absolutely marvellous. I couldn't be more pleased. They have been injured for a while so they needed games and today is going to help them. We have several other players who needed a game, Nani and Rooney and Anderson and [Alexander] Buttner so we have six players who have had a run out."

Mihalich has difficult week
ROCHESTER – When Dolores Mihalich was diagnosed with colon cancer, doctors gave her six months to live. She fought for another seven years.
Mihalich, the mother of Niagara University coach Joe Mihalich, lost her battle with the disease Wednesday (Nov. 21) at the age of 88. Just before she died at a hospice facility in Philadelphia, caregivers were wondering why all Dolores' clothes were purple. There probably wasn't a bigger Niagara fan than Dolores Mihalich.
"It was a long, tough week and a very emotional week," Joe Mihalich said on Saturday. "Whether she's here or not I can still hear her saying, 'Be where you're supposed to be, do what you're supposed to do.' Even though she's not here anymore, she still motivated me."
Dolores became a media darling back in 2005 when the Purple Eagles made their first run to the NCAA Tournament since the Calvin Murphy era. Newspapers across the country wrote about her strength and perseverance.
"I met her a couple of times and she was just a nice person, a nice person to be around," Antoine Mason said.
Saturday's game, an 80-75 loss to St. Bonaventure, served as an outlet for Mihalich.
"It helped knowing how much she loved Niagara basketball," he said.
Mihalich received condolence text messages from the mothers of Mason and Juan'ya Green as well as Mason's father, Anthony, the former New York Knicks forward. Most importantly, Mihalich's players helped through the grief.
"It was like family," Mihalich said softly. "It felt good."

bronson3 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 239 diseños de 52 diseñadores freelance.
Breakwater Trading
The company: a privately owned trading firm located in the heart of Chicago's downtown financial district. Invested heavily in latest technology, the firm develops and maintains it's own proprietary electronic trading application & platform. The business puts high demands on our technology and people. Think highly skilled traders working closely with highly-skilled technologists. It's the type of place that never sleeps.
Breakwater is at once progressive and conservative, strategic and nimble.
The project: Re-energize the brand. Clean up the logo after many years of neglect. Better manage the perception we present to our target audience.
Traders, technologists, financial-services professionals. People interested in the company for the first time (professional first impression) and others coming back and getting a breath of fresh air. The audience target age is 20's through 60's. These people are tied into current events. They are educated and successful. They are driven. They understand the power of technology when applied with intelligence. They want results and never stop thinking about what is around the next corner.
The existing logo is busy, stale, blah, poorly targeted, unclear, fills space, unaligned, although the basic inspiration for the logo is solid: The Chicago Lighthouse. Search google images for "Chicago Lighthouse" - there are a ton of reference pictures. The lighthouse captures a lot about who we are (our name, our location, stability, planning, technology) We want to stick with this basic design -- The new logo should feel at its base inspired by the existing logo but also breaking free from stagnation.
The new logo should be clean, tied together, sharp, defined, much simpler in its design, fresh fresh fresh, based in vectors and lines not in a bitmap image-- but it should also feel like it is an evolution of the current logo. Having the idea or impression of a light coming from the lighthouse would be a good idea, but is not a requirement. We are only interested in B&W, no color.
Looking to avoid too many shades of grey. Something pretty "flat". Don't necessarily need the company name in the logo.
The winning entry will be strong, bold, steady, recognizable, and straightforward without being simplistic.

Pulmonary aspergilloma is a mass caused by a fungal infection that usually grows in lung cavities. It can also appear in the brain, kidney, or other organs.
Alternative Names
Fungus ball; Mycetoma; Aspergilloma
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Aspergillomas are formed when the fungus aspergillus grows in a clump in a lung cavity, or invades previously healthy tissue, causing an
Aspergillus is a common fungus. It grows on dead leaves, stored grain, bird droppings, compost piles, and other decaying vegetation. Cavities in the lung may have been caused by:
Coccidioidomycosis Cystic fibrosis Histoplasmosis Lung abscess Lung cancer Sarcoidosis Tuberculosis
See also:
You may not havesymptoms. When symptoms do develop, they can include:
- Chest pain
Cough Coughing up blood
- Fatigue
Fever Unintentional weight loss
Signs and tests
- Biopsy of lung tissue
- Blood test for presence of aspergillus in the body (galactomannan)
- Blood test to detect antibodies to aspergillus (serum precipitins for aspergillus)
Bronchoscopyor bronchoscopy with lavage Chest CT Chest x-ray Sputum culture
Many patients never develop symptoms. Often, no treatment is needed, unless you are coughing up blood.
Occasionally, antifungal medications may be used.
If you have bleeding in the lungs, your doctor may inject dye into the blood vessels (angiography) to find the site of bleeding. The bleeding is stopped by shooting tiny pellets into the bleeding vessel.
Surgery is often the only choice if there is life-threatening bleeding.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome can be good in many patients. However, it depends on the severity of the condition and your overall health.
Surgery may be very successful in some cases, but it is complex and can have a high risk of serious complications.
Difficulty breathingthat gets worse
- Massive bleeding from the lung
- Spread of the infection (see acute invasive aspergillosis)
Calling your health care provider
See your health care provider if you cough up blood, and mention any other symptoms that have developed.
People who have had related lung infections or who have weakened immune systems should try to avoid environments where the aspergillus fungus is found.
