Finley Stadium Davenport Field
In 1997, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football program said goodbye to historic Chamberlain Field and ushered in a new era for both the University and the city. On Oct. 18, 1997, the Mocs opened up their new home, Finley Stadium Davenport Field, as an overflow crowd of 22,646 watched UTC defeat Tennessee State 28-7.
The 20,668-seat state-of-the-art facility is the best of its kind among Division I-FCS stadiums and is the crown jewel for the city's Southside revitalization project.
A stadium project for UTC and Chattanooga had been talked about by city leaders for quite some time before the dream came to fruition. Chamberlain Field on the UTC campus, which opened in 1908, had the distinction of being the second-oldest on-campus stadium in the nation. Officials agreed that something needed to be done. A facility was needed to take the UTC football program to a higher level and to elevate the city's status to a full-service, mid-sized city.
The $28.5 million project needed supporters to become a reality and got plenty of them. Donations from the private sector ranged anywhere from a 10 dollar bill to $1 million. In fact, nearly 40 percent, or $10.2 million of the project, came from private donations. The City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County contributed $13 million, the State of Tennessee gave $3.5 million and the University donated $2.9 million.
Ground breaking on the site that was once the Rock Tenn plant was held March 7, 1996. Seven months later, the Stadium Corporation named the facility Finley Stadium Davenport Field.
The late W. Max Finley, former Chairman of the Rock Tenn Corporation, dedicated his life to public service and was an active supporter of the University of Tennessee system. He received both the University of Chattanooga Distinguished Alumni Award and the Outstanding Service Award of the UTC Alumni Council and was inducted into the University's Hall of Fame.
The playing field is named in honor of the late Gordon Lee Davenport. The President and CEO of the Krystal Company from 1975-85 served as Chairman of the Stadium Corporation and Campaign and worked endlessly and tirelessly in the planning and actual development of the facility. Davenport, a longtime friend of UTC athletics and particularly Mocs football, received the UTC Alumni Council Outstanding Service Award and is a member of the University's Hall of Fame.
Davenport attended the stadium's grand opening, participated in the opening ceremonies and was presented a game ball from UTC head coach Buddy Green following the Mocs' victory over Tennessee State.
Bronze busts of both Finley and Davenport adorn the main entryway to the stadium.
The Stadium Corporation left nothing out of its masterpiece. The facility, designed by Derthick, Henley & Wilkerson and built by C&I Specialty, both of Chattanooga, contains 32 luxury sky boxes and 3,465 preferred seats with chairbacks. The $350,000 scoreboard includes a giant matrix screen, and the Stadium Club can hold 250 for pregame or postgame functions. The press box can hold 60 media representatives, has three radio booths and a television broadcast booth. Identical home and visitors locker rooms contain a separate training area and coaches locker room, as well as an extensive player locker area.
Installation for the new artificial turf surface at Finley Stadium took place in May 2005.
The state-of-the-art surface was installed by TC Thiolon USA and Precision Sports Fields Inc.
Adjacent to the stadium is the First Tennessee Pavilion. The old Ross-Meehan Foundry has been renovated into an open-air pavilion which has become a favorite for tailgaters, complete with food and beverage concessions and a children's area. The pavilion offers tailgaters a perfect atmosphere around the stadium while providing protection from the weather without being indoors.
Besides serving as the home of Mocs Football, Finley Stadium Davenport Field hosted the NCAA Division I Football Championship from 1997 to 2009. It is also host to UTC, international and high school soccer, high school football, national lacrosse tournaments, concerts and other community festivals.

Chaka Khan Lashes Out at Clive Davis After Whitney Houston's Death
Chaka Khan is not pleased with Clive Davis. The original 'I'm Every Woman' singer is furious that Davis continued on with his pre-Grammy party following the news of Whitney Houston's death.
"I thought that was complete insanity," Khan told CNN's Piers Morgan (via Zap2It). "And knowing Whitney I don't think that she would've said, 'The show must go on,' she's the kind of woman who would've said, 'Stop everything! I'm not going to be there.'"
Khan's comments directly refute Davis' explanations. Davis had previously said that Houston "would have wanted the music to go on" and that her family requested that the party go on.
"I don't know what could motivate a person to have a party in the building where the person whose life he had influenced so enormously [had died]," Khan spewed. "And whose life has been affected by hers… I don't understand how that party went on."
Khan further lashed out at everyone who thought it was a good idea for Houston to fly to Los Angeles for an entire week before her scheduled performance.
"I, too, was an addict," Khan revealed. "I know if I was on the set of a movie, even now, and [I've been] recovered for seven years, and I found out that I was coming to a city like L.A, we would've made specific plans that I come in [the] night before or day of performance," she fumed. "Especially if you have not gone in and got proper treatment and gotten your situation handled. That was the first big mistake, for her to come in an entire week before her performance at the party, I would have never done that."
Khan continued, "Whoever flew her out to perform at that party should've provided someone to be there to somehow keep the riff raff from out of the situation. To keep some of the dangerous people away."
The singer also admitted that she was "paralyzed" at the news of Houston's passing and withdrew from her tribute performance with Jennifer Hudson to grieve privately.
Houston's private funeral will be this Saturday, Feb. 18 in Newark, N.J.

I was at my friend's place the other night, and her auntie was making soy milk. The way in which it was made was with a bought soy milk maker. It was a machine specifically designed for the purpose of making soy milk from the bean.
I don't have one at home, but I'd like to have a go at making it. Does anyone make soy milk themselves, and if you do, how do you go about making it?
To buy a soy milk maker, is it one of those appliances where you get what you pay for? Or are they about the same with any given price?
If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.
Maki posted instructions here . Part two is making tofu as I remember. I have tried it and it was very easy. The only hard part for me was finding soy beans, and you'd need to do that with a machine anyway.
I'd say if you have a big pot and a blender or food processor then a soy milk-making machine would be a waste of money. And if you haven't got those things, they would be more useful to buy than the machine would.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Ah, so sorry! I wasn't aware that there was a post regarding this topic on Just Hungry already.
I just want to also add however, will using black soy beans taste any different? I gather the colour will be significantly different, but is there a reason as to why white soy beans are commonly used?
Thanks for linking me to it. :)
but is there a reason as to why white soy beans are commonly used?
I think this is a very interesting question.
Soy milk (and tofu and miso and other products associated with yellow soy beans) can be found made with black soybeans, but it is more common to find these made with the yellow kind. Black soybeans are kuromame in Japanese and are widely enjoyed, but are usually used in different ways to the yellow soybeans.
However, although soybean tofu has a relatively long history in Japan, soymilk is only a recent addition to the diet.
This resource is an excellent one when it comes to anything soy related
has some interesting comments on both black soybeans and yellow soybeans
Although black soybeans can be said to have a higher nutritional value than the yellow kind, the yellow kind beat the black soybeans when it comes to fat and protein content. This to me is compelling reason enough as to why yellow soybeans were most commonly used for tofu and other foods in both China and Japan.
A history of tofu in Japan from the same website also makes informative reading:
Especially the part about tofu traditionally being made in the colder months. The lack of refrigeration made it difficult to store in the summer.
From what I understand, black soybeans are harvested in June, yellow soybeans are ready in September.
The reason why it's the yellow soybeans that have typically been most commonly made into tofu/soymilk could just as easily be a practical one.
Another topic which might be of interest:
Whether it is worth to get a soy milk maker -
If you use it often and doesn't want to make more soy milk than about one litre each time it could be.
I think it can save you a lot of time - for example you don't have to watch it make sure it doesn't boil over, or stir so that it doesn't stick.
@Loretta - thank you very much for the link to the website, as well as for the response. Your answer helped clarify my curiosity :)
@Kalle - thanks for the thread, I definitely know next time to search for anything similar to my question beforehand. That thread was plentiful of information and advice..

Kate Upton: the Vogue cover...finally
Last year, Page Six reported that Kate Upton, unlike many of her model peers, was made to pay her own way into the MET Gala by Anna Wintour. This year at the MET Gala, Upton wore DVF and it was one of the most tragic looks of a night that was dominated by tragic looks. Click here for a refresher. At the time, I wondered whether or not she was Wintour's second favourite meangirl go-to, after Victoria Beckham, obviously. Mostly though, I wondered whether or not Upton was perhaps trying too hard to belong to a notoriously bitchy community that hasn't exactly embraced her.
A week later, Upton appeared on the cover of Vogue. And many of you were all like, well, how could Anna Wintour possibly be playing her if she put her on the front page of the magazine? Good point. And yet... have you read the article?
I finally had a chance to read the full article on a recent flight. Most Vogue model profiles are characterised by awe. These are freakishly beautiful people. The writer spends most of the article remarking on the model's freakish beauty in 28 different ways. While reminding us that that freakish beauty is natural and effortless.
Upton's profile opens with a description of her busting her ass with her trainer, trying to slim down as much as possible with 5 days to go before her cover shoot. Then the writer moves on, pointing out that Kate Upton did not rise the way Gisele, Kate, and Naomi did -- that she didn't work with famed fashion photographers like Meisel, and that renowned designers like Riccardo Tisci never sent her down the runway. Instead, Kate's success came from...the internet. So, essentially, she's the Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black of models.
Next, her body. And here again, the writer mentions that hers is not the standard model's body. That takes up almost a whole column on the page. After that the writer explains how Upton had to hustle by cold-calling agents to get them to see her. All the while, Upton acknowledges that even though she knows she's not "conventional", she works hard and believes in herself and won't change to accommodate them... but, you know, they still managed to work in there the part when she meets the writer for lunch and tells her that she can't eat cheeseburgers.
For all the time we spent reading about her curves in the piece though, you look at the pictures and...she's "Vogue size". So after all that sweating with the trainer, the photo editors kept her tits and shrank everything else. I guess that's what you call a win?
It's almost as if Wintour took a call from Sy Newhouse demanding a piece of the Sports Illustrated newsstand pot and she was, like, fine, but I'm going to starve her ass for it and still make her feel and sound like she's not one of us. And I guess I just wish she'd tell them all to f-ck themselves instead of continuing to play their sick games for acceptance.
Click here to read the Upton Vogue profile and to see the pictures.

Name: lup92
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Location: England
I'm 15 and masturbate often but have had no form of sex although my girlfriend wants to start. However my penis and scrotum have extremely small lumps all over. I also have a purple red large lump on the rim of my bellend. What do I do? Should I start? Or do I risk giving something to my girlfriend?
A quick note before we begin. I'm a Ph.D. kind of doctor. not MD type of doctor. You know that, right? While I know my way around the human body, I never offer medical advice of any sort. And, just so you know, no self-respecting physician, MD kind of doctor, is gonna offer you medical advice online either without seeing you in person first. Which, if you ask me, is a real good thing.
Here's the thing about lumps and bumps and discolorations of the skin anywhere on your body, especially on your precious willie, pup. They are signs that all is not well. Do us all a big favor and have your johnson looked at by a physician. Your health is nothing to fool around with. Everything you describe could be completely harmless, but you don't want to take the chance that it isn't, right? And here's a tip: don't do it for your girlfriend. DO IT FOR YOU! It's your dick, you gotta lean how to take care of it. And there's no time like the present to start properly lookin' after it.
Just so you know, I'm not suggesting that your have a STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection). I mean, how could you? You've only been wanking, right? Still, if you're concerned enough to write to me about it, you should take yourself in for a look-see. Since you are underage, you'll probably need one of your parents to arrange the appointment. But if you are typical teenager, you'll probably be embarrassed to discuss this with your parents. Still, there's no getting around this. I think your parents will be proud of you for being proactive about your health and wellbeing. Besides, there's nothing to be ashamed about.
Another option is to contact a sex-positive resource near you. Check out the folks at FPA. Surely they'll have a resource for you.
Please take care of this ASAP.
There is one more thing. And I'm gonna be as blunt as I know how. If you think you're old enough to fuck, you're old enough to know all about condoms and how to use them. If ya don't, you're just a dumb kid who may function like a grown-up, but doesn't know how to behave like one. And I don't want to believe that about you.
What it is with young people (old people too) who are still fuckin' clueless about unprotected sex in this day and age? I have nothing against younger people being sexual. That pretty much is to be expected. But I am totally opposed to kids having kids! Like I said, if you're old enough to swing it around, you're old enough to know how to swing it responsibly.
Good luck

Ebullient stock markets are increasingly pricing in the possibility that the Federal Reserve will soon unveil another round of monetary stimulus, Pimco Managing Director Neel Kashkari told CNBC Wednesday.
"The Fed is really in a box right now," said Kashkari, who was an architect of the Troubled Asset Relief Program that bailed out major banks during the 2008 financial crisis. Inflation expectations and stocks are at levels that appear to be assuming imminent Fed action, he told CNBC's "Squawk Box."
"Those indicators have already priced in … that the Fed should act," Kashkari said. As a result, the fund manager suggested Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's "hands appear to be tied" ahead of a closely watched speech on the economic outlook later this month in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
"If he doesn't deliver in Jackson Hole … you'll see these risk markets react and fall back," Kashkari said. Investors clamoring for more quantitative easing (explain this) "suggests there's downside risk from here if the Fed doesn't move," he added.
Kashkari echoed remarks made last week by Pimco bond guru Bill Gross, who said investors would be hard-pressed to earn the traditional return on stocks they have in past decades. However, he suggested there was value in three stocks the market has overlooked: KIA Motors , Baxter Healthcare and Viewpoint Financial.

As promised, here is the second $1 store craft that I came up with last week. It turned out cute. If you like bright colors and glitter, you'll like this ;) My daughter loves it and helped me to make it.
Fun craft to do with the kids and one that you can use every year instead of making it then pitching it after the holiday is over!
Here's what you'll need:
1 foam cone
4 packs foam glitter egg ornaments
1 paper Easter grass
Hot glue gun
Start by pouring all the eggs on the table. Cut all of the ribbons off.
Put a dab of glue on egg then hold it in place for a few seconds. Start at the bottom and work your way up!
Although this pic shows grass being put on along the way, wait till the end to fill the holes with grass. It's much easier. I used a pencil to push the grass into the gaps well. Make sure you let the glue dry well before filling the gaps.

The statistician George Box once wrote that "Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful." Whether the context in which this was written is identical or even particularly close to the sabermetric issues I'm going to touch on isn't really the point. Perfect models only occur when severe constraints can be imposed.
Since you can't have a perfect model, the designer and user must decide what level of accuracy is acceptable for the purposes for which the model will be used. This is a question on which the designers and evaluators of sabermetric methods and the end users often disagree. In my stuff (I'll use "stuff" because "research" is too pretentious and "work" is too sterile), my checklist of ideal properties would go something like this:
1. Does the method work under normal conditions? (i.e. does the run estimator make accurate predictions for teams at normal major league levels of offense)--This is the first hurdle that any sabermetric method must clear. If you can't even do this, then your model truly is useless.
2. Does the method work for unusual conditions?--I'm going to draw a distinction here between "unusual" and "extreme". Unusual conditions are those that represent the tails of the usual distributions we observe in baseball. A 70-92 team is not unusual, but a 54-108 team is (and keep in mind that individuals will exhibit a wider range of performance than teams). If the method fails under unusual conditions, it may still be useful, but extreme caution has to be taken when using it. Teams and players that threaten to break it will occur often enough that one will quickly tire of repeating the caveats.
3. Does the method work for extreme conditions?--Extreme conditions are the most unusual of cases, ones that will never occur at high levels of baseball over large samples. A player that hits a home run in every at bat will obviously never exist (although a player could have a game in which he hits a home run in every at bat). A method that can't handle these extremes can still be quite useful. However, a method that can handle the extremes is much more likely to be a faithful representation of the underlying process. Furthermore, methods that are not accurate at extremes must begin to break down somewhere along the way, so if a model truly works better at the extremes, there's a good chance it will also produce marginally better results than an alternative model for some of the unusual cases which will actually be observed.
And simply as a matter of advancing our knowledge of baseball, a model that works at the extremes helps us understand the true relationship between the inputs and outputs. Take W% estimators as an example. We know that, as a rule of thumb, 10 runs = 1 win. This rule of thumb holds very well for teams in the usual range of run differentials in run-of-the-mill major league scoring conditions. But why does it work? Anyone with a spreadsheet can run a regression and demonstrate the rule of thumb, but a model that works at the extremes can demonstrate why it is true and how the relationship differs as we move away from those typical conditions.
4. How simple is the method?--I differ from many other people in the relative weight given to the question of simplicity. There are some people who would rank it #1 or #2 on their own list, and would be willing to accept a much less accurate estimator if it was also much simpler.
Obviously, if two approaches are equally accurate (or very close to being equally accurate), it makes sense to use the simpler one. But I'm not a fan of sacrificing any accuracy if I don't have to. Limits to this principle are much more relevant in fields in which more advanced models are used. However, most sabermetric models (particularly for the type of questions that I've always focused on) really are not complex at all and do not tax computer systems or trigger any other practical constraints on complexity. People might say that Base Runs is more complex than Runs Created, but the differences between common sabermetric methods are on the level of adding one more step or one more operation.
Now that I've attempted to define where I am coming from on this general question, the specific trigger for this post was Aroldis Chapman's FIP. Trent Rosencrans of CBS pointed out that Chapman's FIP for July was negative. It goes without saying that this is a breakdown in the model, as a negative number of runs scored makes no sense.
I have always been prone to overreact to a few comments on a site, and run off and compose a blog to respond not to a strawman, but to an extreme minority opinion. That's probably the case here.
Still, it is interesting which metrics and which results set off this sort of reaction, and which generally don't. A number of us tried unsuccessfully for years to argue for the replacement of Runs Created with Base Runs, but a number of very intelligent people resisted the idea. Arguments were advanced that Base Runs was too complex or that given the errors inherent to the exercise, Runs Created was good enough.
OPS+ also remains in use as a go to quick and dirty stat, due largely to its prominence on Baseball-Reference. Yet OPS+ clearly undervalues OBA and can also, in extreme situations, return a negative number of implied runs. ERA+ distorts the true difference in runs allowed rate and makes errors in aggregation across pitchers and seasons seem natural, but B-R had to backtrack quickly when they replaced it with something better because of the backlash.
It should be noted that some of the reaction to any flaws in FIP are likely related to general disagreement and distrust of DIPS theory as a whole (Colin Wyers pointed this possibility out to me). DIPS has always engendered a somewhat visceral reaction and remains the most controversial piece of the standard sabermetric toolkit. An obviously flawed result from the most ubiquitous member of the DIPS family is the perfect opportunity to lash out.
It's no mystery why FIP fails for Chapman's July. FIP is based on linear weights, and any linear weight estimator of absolute runs will return a negative estimate at low levels of offense. For example, a game in which there are three singles, one double, one walk, and 27 outs will result in a run estimator of around -.1 runs. [3*.5 + 1*.8 + 1*.3 - 27*.1] Run scoring is not a linear process, but there are many advantages to using a linear approximation (I won't recap those here but this should be familiar territory). However, if the weights are tailored for a normal environment, and become less reliable as the environment becomes more extreme.
In July, Chapman's line looked like this:
There is no linear run estimator that will be accurate for a normal context that will survive something this extreme. Fortunately, it is an extreme context observed over a very small sample size. A month may superficially seem like a significant split, but fourteen innings is roughly equivalent to two starts.
Going back to my checklist for a metric above, I do place a high weight on accuracy for extremes. While I am personally comfortable with the use of FIP for quick and dirty situation, I happen to agree with some of the critics that it isn't particularly appropriate for use in a WAR calculation (presuming that you want to include a defense-independent metric as the input for WAR at all). It doesn't make a lot of sense to sweat the small stuff as WAR does, except for the main driver (FIP). While the issue of negative runs will not be present over the long haul, using a linear run estimator for individual pitchers is needlessly imprecise by my criteria.
There are at least a couple different Base Runs-based DIPS formulas out there--Voros McCracken himself has one), I have one (see "dRA" here), and there could be others that have slipped my mind. Using dRA, Chapman's July checks in at .68, which seems pretty reasonable.
The moral of the story is that our methods will always be flawed in one manner or another. Sometimes the designer or user has a tradeoff to make between simplicity and theoretical accuracy. Depending on the question the metric is being used to answer, there may be a reason to change one's priorities in choosing a metric. Ideally, one should be as consistent as possible in making those choices. At the risk of painting with a broad brush, it is that consistency that appears to be lacking in some of the reaction in this case.

Psalm 3 is a hopeful psalm. David starts by noting that great and powerful people have persecuted him, including his own son, Absalom. Then he expresses his hopeful trust that God will deliver him from these travails. Then, in verse 7, he says:
לֹא אִירָא מֵרִבְבוֹת עָם / I will not fear the myriads of people
אֲשֶׁר סָבִיב שָׁתוּ עָלָי. / who drank a round on me.
I guess he bought Absalom's people a round of drinks, and he's therefore not afraid of them. Is that a correct understanding? If so, this doesn't seem to fit in with the psalm's theme of trust in God; an explanation would be appreciated. If not, can someone explain this verse?

LONDON - She's shooting for two.
A Malaysian woman who is eight months pregnant will compete in 10-meter air rifle at the London Games. She found out she would be a mother just days after she found out she would be an Olympian.
Nur Suryani Mohammed Taibi is due in September. Perhaps feeling some of mom's Olympic excitement, the baby is kicking, and between deep breaths Taibi will ask her unborn child for restraint during competition Saturday.
"I will breathe in and breathe out and try to calm myself down and talk to baby: 'Behave yourself and help Mummy to shoot.' And luckily she understands. She always understands," Taibi said.
She said she is aware she could got into labor any moment - although she said she hopes to win an Olympic medal before the baby comes.
"If I won the medal, I will see this is as yours, as you helped Mummy so much," Taibi said, speaking of the baby. "Maybe you give me more strength, more stability and more confidence."
Being pregnant means the 29-year-old Taibi has to get in and out of a special suit and belt for practice, but that is only one challenge: She is also drawing overwhelming attention that threatens her concentration ahead of competition.
She said her husband helps her remain calm and focused on the positive.
"When you think negative things, it will give you more stress. Then it will make your anxiety greater, and then you cannot handle the stress and the situation," Taibi said. "It makes you less confident of yourself and less focused on yourself."
To her parents, the mom-to-be is already a champion.
"Whatever happens, I'm satisfied already," her father, Mohammed Taibi, said from the family home in northern Malaysia.
"I'm proud of her. I've told her: If you can compete in the Olympics, that's such an achievement already - all the more when you're pregnant," ''We're her family, so we support her. We'll be praying for her," he said.
He said he and Taibi's mother would be watching on television.
Taibi is ranked 47th in the world and won two golds at the Southeast Asian Games in 10-meter air rifle and 50-meter rifle in November. She finished fifth in 10-meter rifle at the Asian Championships in January to earn a spot on Malaysia's Olympic team.
Taibi also reached qualified for the 50-meter three-position event, but she decided against competing in two Olympic events.

LUNENBURG -- Residents reacted with surprise Wednesday to news that the investigation into racist graffiti left on the home of a biracial Lunenburg High School football player is now focused on his mother.
Interviewed outside the post office, Holly Cafferky, of Leominster, said she was floored by the new development in the case.
"It's just unbelievable to know a parent could possibly do that," she said.
Her four-year-old daughter Grace was with her.
"Why would you do that to your child? Why would you go that far when you know it's only going to hurt them?" she said.
Isaac Phillips, a 13-year-old eighth-grader who played on the freshman football team at the high school, was targeted for the color of his skin, according to his parents. Phillips' mother, Andrea Brazier, is white, and his father, Anthony Phillips, is black.
The family said they woke on the morning of Nov. 15 to see the phrase "Knights don't need n******" spray-painted on the foundation of their home at 134 Chase Road. Lunenburg's team nickname is the Blue Knights.
The incident led to Superintendent of Schools Loxi Jo Calmes canceling the high school's Thanksgiving football game.
Cafferky said she still supports the superintendent's decision to forfeit the game, even though police have said there is no conclusive evidence linking any player on the football team to the graffiti.
"They have to set an example for these kids, and they need to show the district is taking this seriously, even though it was punishment for the entire team," she said.
Sara and Lukas Cuddy, both of Lunenburg, have two young children and graduated from Lunenburg High School in 2000. While outside the post office, they said they felt bad for Isaac Phillips.
"Anywhere he goes now, he's going to be known as that kid. It's just awful," said Sara Cuddy. "I feel bad for all the kids who had to miss out on this game. I was a cheerleader in high school, and I know how much that Thanksgiving game means to all those kids. I honestly don't believe any kid in that school would have done something like this."
Lukas Cuddy agreed, saying his best friend all through high school was black and while there is not a lot of diversity in town, Lunenburg students are not ignorant.
Shortly after the graffiti was discovered, Isaac Phillips transferred to a middle school in Leominster.
On Wednesday, just after 2 p.m., residents, news crews and curious motorists camped out at the end of the driveway of Phillips and Brazier. A police cruiser blocked its entrance.
A search warrant granted by District Court Judge Andrew Mandell had been executed at the home on Monday. Police recovered ammunition and two cans of spray paint.
Lunenburg police Lt. Michael Luth said the family told police they had cleaned out the home of a deceased relative and had held on to the ammunition. It was not immediately clear how long the family was in possession of the ammunition.
Luth said there is no evidence to suspect Isaac Phillips was involved in spray-painting the graffiti or had first-hand knowledge of what was going on.
His mother has not been arrested and no charges have been filed against her. Luth said representatives from the department and police would be meeting with Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr., to discuss possible charges.
If arrested, Luth said Brazier could face charges including filing a false police report and obstruction of justice.

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Drat! Odious rodents survive everything
Q. What fascinating facts do Liza Lentini and David Mouzon write in Discover magazine about one of mankind's greatest plagues? –P. Piper
A: There are 56 known species, including browns and blacks of various shades, their teeth growing 4-6 inches per year– at least they would if not constantly worn down from gnawing on pipes, cement, brick, wood, bones for dinner. A female can mate 500 times in a six-hour period, and a pair of browns could produce 2,000 descendants in a year if unchecked. Flush one down the toilet, and it can tread water for three days and survive, or it could fall 50 feet and land uninjured.
Its favorite city eats are scrambled eggs, macaroni and cheese, cooked corn. Absent these, its own feces will do in a pinch for nutritional value. Killing one or many was popular sport for man and dog in 19th-century London, with one 13-pound bull terrier doing in 100 in 5 1/2 minutes.
"Drats" has nothing to do with them, being a short form of "od rat," a euphemism for "God rot," a sort of profanity. Owing to their skill at stowing away on ships, this creature, identified as an anagram and palindrome of "star," enjoys nearly worldwide distribution.
Q. From how high up might a dropped baseball be caught by someone down below? –G. Bagby
A. In 1908, a couple of major league catchers nabbed baseballs tossed from atop the 555-foot Washington Monument, says Jearl Walker in The Flying Circus of Physics. Thirty years later, Cleveland Indians catchers Frankie Pytlak and Hank Helf waited beneath Cleveland's Terminal Tower as balls were dropped from 700 feet up (213 meters). They wore steel helmets for protection as the balls reached an estimated 140 mph (225 km/hr).
Helf caught the first ball, claiming there was nothing to it, but the next five for Pytlak went astray. One bounded up to the 13th floor and was fielded by a police sergeant after its third bounce. "On the sixth try, Pytlak made his catch and shared the record," Walker writes.
In 1939, Joe Sprinz of the San Francisco Baseball Club tried to catch a ball dropped from a blimp 800 feet or more up; on the fifth try, he gloved one, but the impact drove hand, mitt, and ball into his face, fracturing his jaw in 12 places, breaking five teeth and knocking him unconscious– and he dropped the ball.
More ludicrous was a 1916 toss from an airplane at 400 feet by Brooklyn Dodgers trainer Frank Kelly. He pretended to launch one toward manager Wilbert Robinson below, though in reality he had substituted a red grapefruit.
"When the fruit exploded on impact, its red contents drenched Robinson," Walker reports. "He cried, 'It broke me open! I'm covered with blood.'"
Q. What bizarre sight might a climber see from atop a high mountain? –A. Lowe
A. Serious mountain climbers have long known that thin air and reduced oxygen to the brain can bring on acute mountain sickness at altitudes above 2500 meters (8000 feet), say Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang in Welcome to Your Brain. At these heights, they write, "Mountaineers report perceiving unseen companions, seeing light emanating from themselves or others, seeing a second body like their own, and suddenly feeling emotions like fear."
Neural structures in and near the temporal and parietal lobes of the cortex can be affected, triggering seizures that elicit intense religious experiences, such as feeling that one is in heaven or in the presence of a Supreme Being. Generally, such visions are associated not only with mountains–Moses encountering a voice from a burning bush on Mount Sinai– but with other remote areas such as deserts where environmental conditions and stresses are extreme.
Q. What's the most common cinematic sci-fi error– unsound science, you might say– to which Stanley Kubrick's classic is the quiet exception? –Hal
A. Outer space noise. Sound waves require a medium through which to travel, such as air or water, points out Adam Weiner in Don't Try This at Home: The Physics of Hollywood Movies. Sound cannot propagate through a vacuum, and therefore even a supernova explosion in space would make no sound, never mind spaceships whizzing around.
In the 1977 Star Wars, the evil empire develops a death star capable of destroying an entire planet with a single high-energy beam. Numerous exciting space battles ensue, and in every one of them, the noise is deafening, as the ships emit whizzing, screeching and whirring sounds. This same blunder occurs in movies like Star Trek, Galaxy Quest, Starship Troopers, but Star Wars surely ranks as the consistently loudest. Only the beautiful exception of 2001: A Space Odyssey portrays the silence of space as it really is.
A space battle occurring in complete silence would be not only more accurate but more exciting than the usual fare, suggests Weiner. "Imagine the dramatic tension between the absolute silence of space juxtaposed with the deafening chaos inside an embattled space cruiser," he writes. "That's a scene I would love to see."

What I have been talking about in this forum in the last two posts are about my frustration on how highly people think of Ise from DxD and typical shounen heroes. It's actually off-topic but i at least add my thought about Hagure there.
You mention about people's comments being forced upon others or being useless doesn't do them justice either. I believe a lot of people have to express their frustration about Naruto and Bleach on internet forums since weeaboos they know happen to believe they are the only decent series we have.
What are you talking about people doing something dirty anyway? You meant to say about people doing hentai doujinshi of the series?
I notice that manga version and anime version of Hagure Yuusha are different. I wonder which adaptation is closer to the LN version.

Let me blunt with this all hype for DxD. DxD is good but its average for me and not that good. And that's the reason that it didn't beat the higher ups or big hitter in LN because of that reason.
Fans of narutards or blitch might love it but fans of nasuverse might not like DxD. Well for me I read DxD but not totally like it. Ise looks stupid for me most of the times. He is just super LUCKY.

Other than what happened during his first day as a 'hero' in the other world when he was weak, is there any instance where he got beaten by his enemies and needs to start training like what shonen protag usually do in the novels? I know many people hate overpowered characters right in the beginning, but I like that type of characters since it would mean that there will be no filler training arc and stuffs like that ._.

Well there are various Babel around the World(Forgot the actual number).
But one of the Babel is in Japan where Akatsuki is at. And the one in charge of the Babel is Kyouya(Student President). He is also one of the *Cocoon* which are people who stands at the top of the World. Akatsuki's brother(Micahel Arkwood. Its a codename hence its not Japanese name) is also one of the Cocoon. Kyouya would be stronger than Akatsuki at this point. Well at least in volume 1.
Spoiler for akatsuki:

In episode 2, it shows the part where the student council realises that Akatsuki took the vice-presidents panties(He also took the other girls bra) and see their conversation about it. Also the part about the three girls pissing their pants had lots of themes and funny moments cut off. Also about the fight between Akatsuki and the other guy called Onizuka(He's my favorite male character in this series) was had parts taken out such as he tried to molest Miu but got stopped by Akatsuki and such.
Episode 3 probably can finish volume 1 since the remaining thing which happens are......
-The virtual training thing, where a terrorist terrorizes the system and the student gets in a serious danger but Akatsuki basically solved it with ease.
-The culprit behind the terror was the guy who was bullied by Onizuka and he was hiding his true power. Akatsuki again solves this himself.
-And a very short epilogue about the other world realizing that Akatsuki must have took the Maou's daughter, and the part Miu releases all her sadness and sorrow about having her father killed.
I think Miu falls for him in volume 3, but she started to have feelings for him before that......Can't actually remember precisely though.
Miu also doesnt battle much. She usually just stands or runs away. But Kyouya realises her true worth in volume 3. I think it was..... So Miu doesn't go through a power up during her battle and such. More like her true power was unlocked or released in later volumes.

does anybody think that this novel is going to be translated anytime some, since before they don't translate this novel is because it is not well known but now it even got a anime and to top it off one of the best anime of this season.
