Berkshire Schools Athletics Association http://www.berkshireschoolsaa.com
This site is an athletics website for school children in Berkshire. There are a number of links to different athletic sites on the web site.
We provide information for athletes and schools about different athletic events in the county that they can take part in.
We also provide results from those events and rankings for the athletes in Berkshire.
Schools that do athletics and school children who do athletics or would like to take part in athletic events in Berkshire
We do not sell anything form the site it is information only bar the entrance fee to the athletics meet to take part.
I am looking for a banner 939X226 to fit in the header of the site. I would like this to include the logo for Berkshire which needs to be altered.
The logo I have attached but this needs to be changed to a sky blue background with the logo reversed out in white
I would also like the name of the association as in the website in the banner as in the web site but not the font that is there.
The Association colours are sky blue or as near as they have no number for the colour as close will do. The colour in the banner that is on the site is very close.
I have attached the logo that needs to be changed. The Berkshire stag gif is how it should look like but back ground in blue and I have attached the flag Gif as it is a larger image of the stag.
If you require pictures here is the link to the gallery http://rsaa.nagorpictures.co.uk/

Interim women's tennis head coach Ben Cabell, on day: "Today was another great day for the team. We did not lose any matches that we shouldn't have lost and we won some big matches that people might not have expected. I am proud of how the team keeps battling."
Cabell, on tough early schedule: "I think that by playing in some very tough tournaments against good opponents early in the season, we are learning a lot. Even though we lost some matches in the first two tournaments, the team has gotten tougher because of those matches and they have learned what it takes to win. The team is really progressing and getting better every week."
Cabell, on McBride's singles win over Stanford's Megan Doheney: "That was a big win for Lindsay and for the team. Stanford is the top team in the country so getting a win against any of their players is a great accomplishment. Lindsay played really well and responded after losing the second set and had a great third set."

Even though North Korea is going to blow the world up any day now, the country still hosted an international marathon as part of a national holiday celebrating the birth of its founder, Kim Il-sung.
"The ongoing sports tournaments make the country seethe with holiday atmosphere," said the North Korean news agency KCNA.
Other festivities include a ten-day film festival and "outdoor dance parties". There will also be a military parade, which analysts will watch carefully for signs of which missiles the North displays.
The event, called the Mangyongdae Prize International Marathon, started in Pyongyang and had approximately 600 participants.

Revision as of 19:01, 22 November 2012
Welcome to Conservapedia!
Some underachievers would rather shop on Thanksgiving than read the Bible or say a prayer, so Black Friday commercialism begins to encroach on the holy day.
More than 4 times as many Americans would like to have pro-life Tim Tebow as a Thanksgiving dinner guest than Barack Obama. Only 5% want Obama to join them today for dinner. [1]
A biblical creationist group has gone up to the mountain and creationists are going to the creationist promised land![2]
Let intellectual freedom ring in the creation vs. evolution controversy from every village, every hamlet and every city! Let intellectual freedom ring around the world!
Uganda's anti-homosexuality bill was officially added to their Parliament's schedule on November 21, 2012.
The Uganda speaker of parliament Rebecca Kadaga was greeted with a hero's welcome at Entebbe International Aiport for her staunch support of the proposed anti-homosexuality bill. VIDEO
Why didn't the Republicans challenge the rampant voter fraud in the 2012 Presidential election? Because 31 years ago, they signed away their right to do so! A Tea Party activist explains, and vows to take up the challenge. [3]
Why do those who dislike unemployment insist on voting for socialists? "London students protest youth debt and joblessness." [4]
Conservapedia proven right, again: Some Dems would rather fail than accept conservative reforms. Union bosses refuse to allow a secret ballot for workers, thereby causing the maker of Twinkies to terminate nearly 18,500 jobs and liquidate in bankruptcy. [5]
America heads over the fiscal cliff. Again. After we just re-elected those who pushed us there. Wouldn't Albert Einstein say that was insane? [6]
Just What Could Possibly Go Wrong? [7]
Why the international press acts the way they do towards Israel. [8]
Suicide Bomber: A Personal Account: [9]
Conservapedia proven right again. Fordham University would rather cater to a university professor who has defended infanticide and bestiality rather than a conservative commentator whom they claim is "hateful," and "needlessly provocative." [10] Defense of raping animals and killing children isn't hateful?
The stench of evolutionism and Richard Dawkins vs. the sweet smell of Jesus Christ - Jesus wins! [11]
Evolutionists, all the perfumes of Arabia cannot make evolutionary belief stop reeking of deception and foolishness.
Senate to vote on warrantless access to Americans' e-mail. [12]
- Bill was originally to strengthen privacy but drastically revised by Patrick Leahy
Why did the Dalai Lama receive the Templeton Prize?[13]
Does Christianity provide a better answer to human suffering than Buddhism?
Is the evolutionist Richard Dawkins a skunk that people want to quickly pass by?[14]
Why does Richard Dawkins have so few loyal visitors to his website according to Quantcast? Why is the trend of his website traffic downward according to Quantcast?
Secular France suffers another humiliation. Moody's Investor Service strips France of triple-A credit rating. [15]
Conservative ladies love Conservapedia articles - especially the smart ones! Janice Shaw Crouse, Ph.D. at Concerned Women of America, cites Conservapedia's Planned Parenthood article.[16]
A Question evolution! campaign blog has received over 250,000 page views and aggressive blog marketing is coming down the pike. [17]
Voter fraud alert: Patrick Murphy - the Democrat who thinks he beat conservative Allen West in Florida - has a problem with the recount. Just why have 900 votes been cast in a precinct that has only 7 registered voters? [18][19]
Evolutionists are stirring up more trouble in Greece. The neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn takes advantage of recession ravaged Greece.[20]
Evolutionism was one of the keystones of Nazism and its evolutionary racism.[21]
41% is the new low in the approval rating for the socialist leader of France. [22] Obama's socialism is similar.
Did the fall of man destroy God's image in man?[23]
Jesus through the Fabric of our Lives [24]
"3rd judge vetoes abortion pill mandate. Ruling prevents enforcement against Bible publisher." [25]
Even the lamestream media are starting to support conservative Tim Tebow, and wondering why the last place Jets haven't given the overachiever more playing time. [26] The reality is that many Democrats would rather fail than be led by a conservative.
God is love and He does send sinners to hell.[27]
Medical giant Stryker cuts 1,170 jobs over Obamacare. The beauty of it is that they voted for Obama. [28]
The heavy Democratic involvement in the mismanagement and loss of Hostess:[29]
Christmas is coming early. Uganda is passing an anti-homosexuality bill as a Christmas gift to its citizens who want the bill.[30]
Uganda had a fertility rate of 6.15 births per woman in 2010 which is much higher than the socialist state of Cuba and the secular libertines in Denmark and Sweden.[31]
Obviously, the secular left lacks machismo! See: Decline of atheism
Twinkies are the latest casualty of the Democrat mindset.
Democrat unions drive another company (Hostess) out of business, causing the loss of nearly 18,500 jobs. [32] This rejection of free enterprise causes tens of thousands to suffer, including families.
Liberal claptrap: "House Dems Call McCain Racist, Sexist and Say He 'Battered'" a U.S. Ambassador. [33]
What impact had Hurricane Sandy on New Jersey? Or Governor Chris Christie on the 2012 Presidential Election? You decide. [34]
The Israel-Gaza conflict has broken out. The Palestinians are indeed the spiritual successors of the Philistines, and it shows. But the Iranians are also mixing in. Could a wider Middle East war be in the making? [35]
The forgotten conservative Congressman: Larry McDonald: [36]
The Nazareth Inscription: Proof of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ?[37]
General David Petraeus succumbed to a common human failing. But why did the Obama Administration wait until after the election to push him out? Or do it just before he was scheduled to testify? [38]
Virginia pro-life Governor Bob McDonnell is favored by a nearly 2-1 margin among women, despite media attempts to portray him otherwise. [39] Mitt Romney's unpopularity with women seems unrelated to the abortion issue.
Under the Pillar of the Cloud, an essay by Bishop Bert: [40]
The NFL imitates the presidential election 2012: liberals would rather the Jets continue to lose than allow conservative Tim Tebow to lead the team to victory. [41] God does indeed have a sense of humor as he watches liberals fail.
A conservative congressman stuns the weak leadership in the House by nominating Newt Gingrich as Speaker. [42] It is allowed and this nomination sent a strong signal to Dems and RINOs.
Liberals can't let go of their delusions of power: "Rep. Nancy Pelosi has decided she wants to remain the face of House Democrats," despite leading her party to two consecutive losses there. [43]
A Tea Party leader sees the problem in this last election: users (i.e., Democrats) and Dead Men Walking (i.e., Republicans). See here for some instructive examples. Worth thinking about. [44]
"Paul Ryan: Obama victory not a mandate" because the people "also reelected the House Republicans." [45] Liberals are furious their political machine isn't fooling anyone.
Reports of often massive and brazen voter fraud are breaking out nationwide. A Tea Party activists writes an open letter to a New Jersey Congressman asking him to investigate. [46]
Gender gap? This pregnant woman allegedly ran over husband -- police said she was upset because Obama won reelection and her husband didn't vote. [47]
Early voting increased as the Democrat machine exploited it, and the result was that overall turnout fell substantially on Election Day. The liberal claim that early voting increases turnout is false.
Recent discoveries of the contents of dinosaur stomachs pose a gut-wrenching challenge to the idea that dinosaurs gave rise to birds. Because it now turns out that dinosaurs ate them.[48]
Another birdbrained evolutionary falsehood gobbled up! Evolutionists, its time to eat crow and admit you cannot answer the 15 questions for evolutionists.[49]
As we watch the putative President pervert our Republic once again, we must face a sad truth: that perversion began much earlier. See here for details: [50]
Conservapedia proven right, again: the Los Angeles Lakers stink with their two Overrated Sports Stars, and they again eschew a meritocracy by passing over the best coach to hire someone else. [51]
A Tea Party activist has an "immodest" proposal: Barack Obama and his allies wanted America? Let them own it! Specifically, the economy. Let them see first-hand what happens to it if they get their way. [52]
Hurricane Sandy should teach us all about relying on government-sanctioned monopolies. In this case, it's electric power. If companies competed to distribute electric power in the same town, would anyone be two weeks without power? [53][54]
Just as it was in January 2009, so it will be this January in Washington: liberals are going to trash the place. [55]
California voters approved a tax hike of $6 billion to pay for money already spent, which is no help to its massive debt or future budgetary problems. [56] Instead, the tax hike will likely crimp its economy further.
Liberal stupidity in action. Now, what sort of person would vote back into office a man who would deny him what he needs? [57]
Whoever seeks God will find Him - atheists are just immature and proud posers.[58]
Just as liberals would rather have the Nation decline than to elect a conservative as president, the New York Jets would rather lose than play the pro-life star Tim Tebow. [59]
Who says a Latino cannot be a conservative? One activist sets out some cold, hard facts about Obama's brand of identity politics. He then tells how he plans to fight for liberty. [60]
"One of the worst weeks of the year on Wall Street" for the stock market. [61]
Darwinism lost its bite after the 15 questions for evolutionists cone of shame was placed on its head.[62]
Project 200+ which is part of the widespread dissemination phase of the Question evolution! campaign is going to help neuter Darwinism.[63][64]
The brain is a problem for evolutionists, because in their view it's over-evolved.[65]
Evolutionary biologists try to solve this problem within their field by using their brains suboptimally. They suppress the abundant evidence for biblical creation and the extensive amount of evidence against evolutionary beliefs.[66][67]
The layoffs due to the election have already begun: "After Obama reelection, Murray Energy CEO reads prayer, announces layoffs." [68] Does anyone think Obama will find those workers another job??
Barack Hussein Obama fairly boasted that he's a thief, and just told half the country to stick 'em up. You doubt that? Play the video for yourself. [69]
The demographics haven't changed, it's the ignoramuses on the left showing off: [70]
Obama weeps -- for himself, and then has the private video specially released to the public afterward to puff his image. Talking about his own past as a "community organizer," Obama sheds a tear as he builds to his self-centered point: "I became a man during that process." [71]
A Tea Party activist asks several disturbing questions about the 2012 Presidential Election. He lists six possible reasons why Obama won. Some are truly chilling. [72]
Florida Governor Rick Scott stands on principle and declines to implement ObamaCare; most Floridians voted against Obama anyway. [73]
Poetic justice? Now Obama is responsible for cleaning up his financial mess, rather than continuing to push it off on others. Will Obama still try to blame George W. Bush after another four years???
Another so-called "feathered dinosaur" goes down like a lead balloon on the evidence front.[74]
Conservapedians have seen horseflies and deer flies, but we have never seen evidence of feathered dinosaurs!
Experienced GOP consultants are baffled by Mitt Romney's loss,[75] but Conservapedia explained the problem weeks before Election Day: massive early voting, which Dems exploit to an outrageous extreme.
Gold and silver rise in value, and stocks fall—hard. This is the verdict on Barack Hussein Obama. [76]
Project 200+ just gained a new creationist organization from the state of West Virginia. Almost heaven, West Virginia! Life is older there, but less than 7,000 years old!.[77]
Some reasons why Mitt Romney lost.[78] Including Chris Christie's disgraceful performance. [79] And what this means for America's future. [80]
If American Bible readers want more of these values reflected in the politics and court decisions, there needs to be more grassroots evangelism among the youth and among Latinos and Asians. [81]
Conservatives need to promote vouchers/homeschooling/charter schools more to improve education and avoid liberal indoctrination from happening to youth.[82][83]
Republican gains in state legislatures were greater than expected: pickups include the Wisconsin and Alaska Senates, both legislative chambers in Arkansas, and super-majorities in North Carolina, Tennessee and other states. [84]
The Republican Party: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. [85]
Where the liberal media propped up the Dems -- the presidential race and a few key Senate races -- the Dems did OK. But everywhere else -- including the House -- conservatives routed the liberals.
No problem, the liberal media is in inevitable long-term decline, and can only focus on a few races out of thousands.
Is this the end of RINO credibility at the top of the Republican Party? In voting for Democrats, Wisconsin and Ohio appear to reject the avoid-the-social-issues approach of Karl Rove and other liberal Republicans.
Mitt Romney leads in Virginia; Florida is too close to call.
Fraud, intimidation, dirty tricks, assault...all being committed by Democrats to keep Republicans from the polls: [86] They know they're going to lose, and they're desperate!
Looks like one voter intimidation trick used by liberals in 2008 isn't working now. Black Panthers intimidating voters? How about retired military special forces - including Navy SEALS and Green Berets - intimidating the Panthers: [87] The wager is the Panthers will lose.
By 8:15pm ET it may be possible to project the winner of the presidential election 2012, which is shortly after the polls close in the swing states of Ohio, Virginia and Florida, and also the big state of Pennsylvania.
The outcome in other key races and referenda will not be known until later.
"Voter Turnout Steady in Ohio and Pennsylvania" today -- Mitt Romney can win by taking either state. [88]
The grinding down of American Darwinism by the Question evolution! campaign continues to move faster - third party verification.[89]
Hurricane Sandy, up close and personal, and what she teaches us about what we should rely on. [90]
Mitt Romney and Barack Hussein Obama still tied nationally and in Ohio: Rasmussen poll for Sunday.
During Election 2008, Rasmussen Reports projected that Barack Obama would defeat John McCain by a 52% to 46% margin. Obama was 53% to 46%.[91]
"Obama and Romney Deadlocked" in a poll that has typically favored Obama. Final polls in many of [the swing] states, from Virginia and Ohio to New Hampshire, Colorado and Wisconsin, also find the race too close to call." [92]
Liberal politicians in New York announce "free gas" - the exact opposite of what they should be doing economically -- and the result is massive lines that will prevent those who really need gas from getting it. [93]
Limousine liberal "Michael Bloomberg drops millions on House races" spending "up to $15 million of his own money." [94] This is the guy who insisted for days on holding the New York City marathon while many middle-class families suffered without power on Staten Island.
Liberal hypocrisy in action: Lets see...they want tobacco killed off because of the dangers of smoking, but they have no problem with smoking marijuana; these same libs claim to protect the environment, but have no problem trashing the environment when it comes to getting that crop of pot harvested! [95]
Nancy Pelosi held a secret fundraiser with Islamists, Hamas-linked groups: [96] Why, and for what purpose? Is Pelosi selling-out Israel or America?
A record number of 16 U.S. Senate seats are in play this election, without much "coattails" from the presidential race to influence them.
Interpreting the early chapters of Book of Genesis.[97]
The middle class Staten Island residents are angry that government response to their plight has been disgraceful compared to how wealthy Manhattan residents are being treated. [98][99]
Double standard on how the media is covering Hurricane Sandy?[100]
"Backlash erupts as New York City prepares for marathon." [101] Obama-supporter Michael Bloomberg insisted on holding the marathon despite the suffering of many without power.
Gasoline shortages cause a crisis in New Jersey, as a lack of free enterprise in promptly restoring power has left 60% of the service stations still closed days after Hurricane Sandy. [102] Democrats refuse to allow non-union workers to help, despite the widespread suffering. [103]
If Ohio is the margin of victory in this presidential election 2012, then the Nation may need "to wait 10 days after the election to find out who will be the next president of the United States," because of the rules there about counting an unusually large number of provisional ballots. [104]
GOP returns to support pro-life Todd Akin. [105] All roads to success lead back to the life issue.
PPsimmons and Pastor Carl Gallups said the atheist Christopher Hitchens lived a "wasted life". The circus of pointless Darwinism is drawing to a close. Global creationism is on the rise and it will grow faster. At best, Hitchens was another wicked, atheist clown. [106]
Evolutionist clowns, more and more people around the world are becoming aware that you should not be taken seriously and the rate of expansion of creationism will further accelerate. [107]
The pathologically narcissistic Barack Hussein Obama actually thought he had won the first presidential debate with Mitt Romney until his aides told him otherwise. [108] His oversized ego and laziness prevented him from rigorously preparing for the debate.[109]
The lazy golf playing Obama isn't even a good golfer and the press does not know his scores.[110] Apparently, the egotistical Obama doesn't want a golf coach or caddy telling him where is doing things wrong and could make improvements.
Obama has a big problem with narcissism.[111][112] Did pride come before the fall? Will Obama be re-elected?
"Iowa is second state to forbid international observers at elections." [113] This dispute could help Mitt Romney win the key state.
RINO Chris Christie plays the role of a useful idiot in praising Obama for visiting the Jersey Shore today and accomplishing nothing together. [114]
The slow clean-up after Hurricane Sandy is controlled by Democrat unions and government, and many voters must be wondering: wouldn't free enterprise restore power more quickly?
"Disarray, millions without power in Sandy's wake; death toll at 55." [115]
How's that stimulus working for you? A123 Systems got a quarter-billion dollars from Mr. Transparency and boasted of creating thousands of jobs; only 400 people got checks of any kind before the company filed for bankruptcy. [116]
Who gave the order to stand down in Benghazi? [117]
The early-vote advantage Obama had in 2008 dropped 22% today: [118]
Democrat Party values in action: They accuse conservatives of wanting to shove grandma off a cliff, but why don't they say anything when one of their own steals from an old lady in a wheel chair, and is going to prison for it? [119]
"Claiming momentum, Romney launches ad in Pennsylvania." [120] Pennsylvania has little early voting; Romney could win the State.
Liberal-leaning Pew pollster says Obama's support is only 47% nationwide among likely voters, tied with Mitt Romney. [121] 47% support is not enough historically for an incumbent to win, as undecideds tend to vote for the challenger.
Barack Obama's surrogates beg for money and try to drum up volunteers to travel to battleground States. Hello! We're in the middle of a hurricane! Meanwhile, Mitt Romney tells people to cooperate with their local Red Cross, and even take in campaign yard signs so they won't turn into wind-driven missiles. Who is the better leader? [122]
Make your own atheist Halloween costume that doubles as an evolutionist Halloween costume.[123]
"Madonna booed after touting Obama in La. Concert." [124]
Is voter fraud being committed in Ohio? Apparently, Democrats are busing Somalis - who may not even be citizens - to polling places where they are directed where to vote, how to vote, and especially who to vote for. [125]
CBS News says Hurricane Sandy may hurt Barack Hussein Obama's re-election campaign due to Democrats having greater difficulty getting their supporters to the polls.[126]
This may be America's future if Obama is reelected: Spain's unemployment rate hits 25%. [127]
Obama is at only 47.8% in Colorado, and thereby appears likely to lose that swing state. [128]
"Thousands more campaign ads coming to your TV" in the swing states. [129] And Mitt Romney's campaign has saved more money for this final week than Obama has.
We now know that Obama refused all help during the Benghazi attack, though he could watch it happening. He even told CIA operatives to stand down. Which they didn't. Four men died, but it could have been thirty-four. [130]
Obama resorts to early voting to try to win Ohio: "Ohio you can vote now, you don't have to vote later." Early voters are herded like sheep and expected to vote a certain way, either by mail or at special polling booths. "Among those who have voted early or plan to vote before Election Day, Obama holds a 59%-38% lead, with Romney up 51%-44% among those who say they'll vote on Election Day." [131]
Why do some Christians want to defend evolution?[132]
Hint: Logic and compelling evidence are not among the reasons.
5 reasons why the Atheism+ movement will fail.[133]
How many facelifts does atheism need? What is next? The New, New, New Atheism? The new and improved atheism? Mint flavored atheism?
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Meat Loaf -- the great, intelligent rock star -- "endorses Mitt Romney at boisterous Ohio rally." [134]
The Libya scandal gets worse for Obama: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, not once, but three times. [135]
"Democrats have gone all in for abortion rights, with none of the hedging or defensiveness they've shown in recent years — a subtle but striking repositioning with political consequences that extend far beyond Nov. 6." [136]
There are five plausible swing state results whereby Mitt Romney and Obama would tie at 269 Electoral College votes apiece, which would then cause the newly elected House of Representatives to select the next president. [137]
Voter fraud is rampant in several States. Three kinds of cases have turned up. Will they decide the 2012 Presidential election? [138]
The overweight atheist and evolutionist Kim-Jong-un is executing his opponents by mortar round and persecuting tens of thousands of North Korean Christians in concentration camps.[139]
Christians are helping North Koreans flee to China.
Atheistic and evolution promoting North Korea has been described as "the weirdest place on earth".[140]
"Texas attorney general warns UN poll watchers to keep their distance," reminding them that they do not have any authority in the State. [141]
The "Inflationary Universe" was not a Big Bang but a Big Stretch. Exactly as the Bible says. [142]
Pro-life U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock stands on principle, and refuses to cave in to the liberal media pressure to recant his statement that pregnancy after rape is still a gift from God. [143] Mitt Romney and other Republicans also refuse to cave in to the pro-aborts.
Record-breaking political ad spending in the swing states: Ohio: $177M, Florida: $174M, Virginia: $136M, and Colorado, $76M. [144] Meanwhile, Mitt Romney is personally campaigning in Nevada, another key state.
Within mere hours of Benghazi, Obama and Company knew who the real attackers were, and the emails prove it: [145]
Voter fraud, the means and ways of how to do it caught on video. [146]
As Conservapedia predicted, the Obama campaign is trying to exploit an abortion-rape comment by Richard Mourdock, but the public is tiring of the Leftist demagoguery. [147]
In tonight's Senate debate in Indiana, pro-life Richard Mourdock defends his opposition to abortion in cases of rape, saying that if there is a pregnancy (which is rare), then it must be something "God intended." [148] Will the Obama campaign, Karl Rove and RINO Backers try to exploit this issue, again?
Even the New York Times is flabbergasted by the glaring omissions in the final presidential debate: "NATO was not uttered ... and the euro and its crisis were not mentioned at all." [149]
The real loser in the final presidential debate: the lamestream media. The moderator asked inane questions, referred to "Obama Bin Laden," and asked Mitt Romney a question about drones for which the candidates predictably had no disagreement. [150]
Mitt Romney wins big on substance and style in the final debate against Obama: for much of this debate Obama either stares, grim-faced, at Romney, or speaks in simplistic and repetitive ways.
The Mainstream Media now turns to panspermia as a theory of the origin of life. Really? When even the conventional scientists can't figure that out? A creationist explains why meteoroids that contain organic matter actually came from Earth to start with. [151]
Liberal style: Obama wins 'interruption debate.' ... Obama cut off Romney in mid-sentence 36 times, while Romney cut off Obama 28 times. Moderator Candy Crowley, meanwhile, cut off Romney 23 times, compared to the 15 times she cut off Obama." [152]
While ignoring the real War on Women, liberals forget that abortion goes against not only the Bible but also against reason and science. [153]
A Constitution Party official asks: what is America doing in the Middle East? More harm than good, maybe, for the people living there as well as ourselves? [154]
Liberal values: Drunk driving by teenagers is an enormous epidemic. The leading cause of death for those aged 16-19, fatal car crashes are often the result of teenage drinking. [155]
Another setback for liberal claptrap: after 79-years, Newsweek will end its print edition. Liberal spin loses popularity as Americans realize how biased the lamestream media has become.
How well supported is the Trinity in the Bible? Where can it be found? [156]
Promises made to a woman to encourage her to have an abortion are not enforceable: "there is no cause of action for terminating one's pregnancy and then regretting the decision due to subsequent events," a court ruled. [157]
Liberal Barack Obama: more talk in the debate than Mitt Romney, again, but less substance, again.[158]
Hillary Clinton, who won't begin running for president until next year, takes responsibility for the Libya scandal. [159] But will this liberal shell game rescue Obama's declining chances to be reelected now?

Rove Is Right
It was inevitable that attacks on Hillary Clinton would be deemed sexist. We now know that they will be called ageist, too. A report in the New York Post's Page Six that Karl Rove told a conference last week that Hillary Clinton might be brain damaged after a 30-day hospital stay during her illness at the end of 2012 caused a volcanic eruption of denunciation aimed at the Republican strategist. Rove was accused, among other things, of dealing the age card from the bottom of the deck.
Rove denies saying "brain damage," and the Page Six report didn't put quote marks around that phrase. He tells me he's not sure whether he actually said she was in the hospital 30 days (it was three), but regardless, he meant to refer to the entirety of the 30-day episode when she was dealing with a virus, a fall and a subsequent concussion and blood clot between her brain and skull.
Story Continued Below
If we take Rove's interview on Fox News the day after the Page Six item as the best explanation of his view, his basic points are unassailable — the state of Clinton's health will play into her decision whether or not to run, she will have to be completely open about the 2012 episode and all of this will be filtered through the fact that she will be 69 if elected and 77 if she serves two terms.
The point about her health being a consideration in her decision making is almost a tautology. Most everyone assumes — not just evil Karl — that if she feels up for it, she's a go. And that if she passes, her health is likely to be the reason.
Even if you take at face value everything we've heard about Clinton's condition in December 2012, it was frighteningly serious. The clot, according to The Washington Post, "can cause permanent brain damage, coma or death if not detected and treated in time."
News accounts say it was caught early, and Clinton is performing as ably as ever. But politicians have a long history of lying through their teeth about their health — see Woodrow Wilson, John F. Kennedy and Paul Tsongas, for example. So Clinton will have to provide a full accounting of the 2012 incident and her health in general.
And as for her age, of course it will be an issue. The problem with being the old candidate in American presidential politics, as Hillary will be if she faces a new-generation Republican in 2016, is that people use it against you.
U.S.News & World Report had an item in April 2008 titled, "Obama Campaign Plans to Hit at McCain's Age." In May, it had another, "A Dust-up Over the McCain Age Issue." Almost every time McCain had a verbal miscue, someone wondered whether his advanced age was catching up to him. But the generational contrast between Obama and McCain didn't have to be made explicitly; it was too self-evident to need much reinforcement and Obama's theme of hope and change played into it.

Bird holds off Nasr in BahrainChris Medland April 21, 2013

Sam Bird took one of the closest GP2 victories ever as he held off Felipe Nasr by 0.08s in the sprint race in Bahrain.
Having started third, Bird took the lead from his team-mate Tom Dillmann by the end of the first lap and looked in control as he extended his lead to almost four seconds. However, Stefano Coletti and Nasr reeled him in late on and Bird was left to cling on to the line.
Coletti looked the more likely to challenge but could not force an error from Bird and then ran wide himself at the final corner at the end of the penultimate lap to allow Nasr through in to second. Coletti finished third with Dillmann a distant fourth ahead of a close battle for fifth which was headed by James Calado.
Bird initially got a poor start but Adrian Quaife-Hobbs blocked Coletti at turn one allowing Bird in to second behind his team-mate. Alexander Rossi sustained a broken front wing at turn one after being clipped, while Rio Haryanto and Marcus Ericsson also picked up damage as the former ran in to the back of the DAMS car.
Bird passed Dillmann in to the final corner but the pair scrapped through Turns 1 and 2, allowing Coletti to get the run on Dillmann to take second. The following lap, Nasr dived down the inside of Dillmann in to Turn 1 as the pole sitter dropped to fourth by the start of lap three.
A great start from the ART cars saw them both in the top eight but Jolyon Palmer passed Calado for P7 on lap four, with Calado then having to hold off his team-mate Daniel Abt. The race settled down as drivers looked to preserve their tyres, but with Bird locking up twice in to turn one it was clear the race would come to life later on.
The majority of the action came in the final seven laps, with a train forming behind Quaife-Hobbs. Palmer dived up the inside of Fabio Leimer for sixth at Turn 1 and then Calado followed him through before Turn 4. Quaife-Hobbs' tyres were completely worn and he eventually dropped back to eighth behind Calado, Palmer and Abt, leaving feature race winner Leimer outside the points.
With two laps to go, Bird's lead was erased and the top three ran line astern, but a big lock-up from Coletti cost him his chance and Bird held on for Russian Time's first GP2 victory.

Food & Water: Innovation in Agriculture
March 02, 2017
Food and water. We can't live without them, but many people around the world are living without enough of either. The good news is that amazing work is being done to combat both drought and famine.
We've written about some incredible advances in the production of clean water, including these articles:
- Clean Water Around the Globe (a billboard that actually produces clean water)
- A Book that Cleans Water? (Yes, there is a book that cleans water, and so many more amazing innovations!)
- 663 Million (life-bringing organizations dedicated to giving clean water to those in need)
Water: Sunlight-power water purifier
There are so many more exciting new tools being utilized to give fresh, clean water to the thirsty, including this new and vastly improved solar-powered water purifier. Qiaoqiang Gan, an electrical engineer at SUNY Buffalo, has created a new type of solar still for purifying water. In Global Challenges, Gan reports that the still is " 88% efficient at channeling the energy in sunlight into evaporating water." One square meter device can purify 1 liter of water per hour, and costs only about $1.60. This could be of immediate benefit not only to people in impoverished regions, but also to those affected by natural disasters that wipe out safe drinking water options. Science Magazine
Food: Innovations in Agricultural Production
So, great strides are being taken in the struggle to help provide clean water to people all across the globe. But what about food production? One way to combat hunger and famine is to grow better crops. Here's an example:
In 1944, Norman Borlaug, a biologist and plant pathologist, "left the U.S. for Mexico to fight stem rust, a fungus that infects wheat, at the invitation of the Rockefeller Foundation, among others. He and his colleagues spent the next decade crossing thousands of strains of wheat from across the globe, ultimately developing a high-yielding, disease resistant variety. Unfortunately, it couldn't stand, heavy with grain. " Scientific American
Borlaug had worked for years to develop a strain of wheat that resisted disease and produced much grain, but it was so heavy that it couldn't stand. So, he crossed the wheat again with a strain of Japanese dwarf wheat, producing a semi-dwarf wheat that produced large amounts of grain, was disease-resistant, and was short enough that it didn't fall over. First, this wheat helped Mexico become self-sufficient in grain, and then it was taken to India and Pakistan, where it helped save millions from famine. Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 and is often credited with saving a billion lives from starvation. Because of his achievements to prevent hunger, famine and misery around the world, it is said that Dr. Borlaug has "saved more lives than any other person who has ever lived." World Food Prize
Borlaug's work with wheat plants was crucial. Wheat provides approximately one-fifth of the total calories consumed globally, so how do we continue to increase production of this essential crop? Plant scientists are still working on this question, and some researchers in the UK have produced a "superwheat" which is ready to begin field trials. Plants use carbon dioxide from the air to make food. These new wheat plants actually use carbon dioxide even better, and increase the efficiency of photosynthesis. These super-efficient wheat plants are predicted to boost a wheat harvest by 20 to 40 percent. Next Big Future and New Scientist
There are many other projects working to combat hunger, such as this one which is fighting critical Vitamin A deficiency in sub-Saharan Africa with sweet potatoes. "Orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is rich in vitamin A and is being disseminated with support from USAID under Feed the Future, the U.S. Government's global hunger and food security initiative." USAID
Innovation in agriculture is key to global development and global health. "Here's what we know. We need agriculture that not only produces more food, but also does so on less land with less degradation of our natural resources. The future of agricultural innovation must give us food, biodiversity, and all of the other services that ecosystems provide like clean water, soil nutrients, and fresh air."

Usain Bolt landed in Glasgow on Saturday afternoon and immediately underlined his commitment to the Commonwealth Games.
The fastest man of all time is the leading name at the Games and has flown halfway around the world in order to compete in the 4x100 metres relay.
An injury earlier in the season means he is restricting himself to just the relay rather than the individual sprints, causing some to question why he has taken on such a journey for just the one event.
But Bolt told a media conference just after flying into Scotland of a long-held ambition to be a Commonwealth athlete and that he will be running in the heats of the relay as well in order to get his fitness right.
"For me it was very important (to be here)," he said.
"I expressed it to my coach and I am happy to be here. I have always wanted to compete in the Games. The first one in Australia (in 2006) I strained my hamstring and in 2010 in India it was in October, which is a bad time for me.
"I got injured earlier in this season and I didn't want to take anyone's spot so I decided 'why not just come in the 4x100m?'"
Bolt fielded lots of left-field requests during the press conference, ranging from asking if he would wear a kilt to journalists asking him for a selfie.
Serious questions were posed, though, such as if he felt that the Games needed him and other big names to commit after the withdrawal of a number of stars.
"I don't think anyone has dropped on purpose," he added. "It happens in the Olympics, it happens in the World Championships. It's one of those things."
Bolt also buried his head in his hands while laughing when asked if he had any plans to pull out himself.
"That's a very weird question," he said. "I am here to run. Why else would I travel all this way to Glasgow? I will be running, definitely."

Zimmerman case gets new judge; lawyers say he may regret it
A veteran judge with broad experience and a reputation for being tough on both lawyers and defendants has been assigned to take over George Zimmerman's murder trial.
Seminole County Circuit Judge Debra Nelson is a familiar face to the Zimmerman family: She is the same jurist assigned to handle Zimmerman's wife's perjury case.
Zimmerman's legal team might live to regret forcing the last judge off the case because Nelson runs a tight ship and tends to favor the prosecution, Central Florida lawyers said. A native of South Florida who did a brief stint at the Broward state attorney's office, Nelson is known for being a no-nonsense judge who keeps lawyers on their toes.
"I don't think they did themselves any favors," said attorney Jose Baez, best known for defending "tot mom" Casey Anthony. "She has a reputation of being more pro-prosecution than the previous judge. We have an expression: 'The devil you know is much better than the devil you don't.' "
Nelson was appointed in a random rotation a day after the Fifth District Circuit Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach ordered Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester to recuse himself. The first judge on the case was also forced off, making Nelson the third judge assigned to the case.
Defense attorneys argued that Lester demonstrated gross bias against the defense by writing a scathing, eight-page bond ruling that accused Zimmerman of manipulating the court by portraying himself as broke when he had actually raised more than $200,000 in donations. The judge also ordered the release of evidence that the defense desperately tried to have sealed.
When Lester declined to step down, defense attorney Mark O'Mara appealed.
Lester's backers point out that despite having written a caustic bond ruling, Lester granted Zimmerman bond not just once, but also after Zimmerman was caught misrepresenting his finances. Baez said that proved Lester was willing to stand up to public pressure — a crucial judicial virtue in a high-profile case.
"Lester's bark is worse than his bite," said Luis Calderon, president of the Central Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
Calderon agreed that O'Mara had little choice but to seek a new judge because Lester's demeanor changed sharply after Zimmerman was caught misrepresenting his finances. But, like Baez, Calderon suspects getting a new judge may be worse for the defense in the long run.
"She's a tougher judge than Lester — not that her sentences are harder, or that she treats defendants with ill will, but she doesn't let attorneys fall asleep at the wheel," Calderon said. "If you need more time, you better have a good reason."
His organization's annual poll of local judges show Nelson ranked close to the bottom in most categories. Lester scored highest among Seminole County felony court judges both overall and in the "freedom from bias" category.
Most of the negative comments lawyers wrote about Nelson were related to her refusal to grant continuances, Calderon said.
Nelson graduated from the University of South Florida in 1975. She was first appointed to the bench in 1999 by former Gov. Jeb Bush. Since then, she has presided over felony, civil, family and juvenile cases.
"She's a very good judge," Calderon said. "She doesn't succumb to pressure. She's going to do what she's got to do. She's very tough, but fair."
Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder for the Feb. 26 killing of Miami Gardens teenager Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman claims the unarmed high school junior attacked him, forcing him to resort to deadly force.
Zimmerman's wife, Shellie, was charged with perjury for allegedly lying about the couple's finances while testifying under oath at her husband's first bond hearing.
Through an attorney, Trayvon Martin's parents declined to comment on the latest developments.
"We are trying to respect the court's ruling and trying to have faith in the court system," their attorney, Benjamin Crump, said.

Pell equations can be solved using continued fractions. I have heard that some elliptic curves can be "solved" using continued fractions. Is this true?
Which Diophantine equations other than Pell equations can be solved for rational or integer points using continued fractions? If there are others, what are some good references?
Professor Elkies has given an excellent response as to the role of continued fractions in solving general Diophantine equations including elliptic curves. What are some other methods to solve the Diophantine equations $$X^2 - \Delta Y^2 = 4 Z^3$$ and $$18 x y + x^2 y^2 - 4 x^3 - 4 y^3 - 27 = D z^2 ?$$

The NBA rescinded the double-technicals handed out to JaMychal Green and Kevin Durant in Thursday's Game 3.
The main impact of this is on Durant's side, who was sitting on two technicals before this one and he would face a suspension if he picked up four more over the course of the playoffs. It seems like a lofty number to begin with, but it's a good thing to keep in check.

October 15, 2019, 11:57 pmRJ BarrettSF, New York Knicks
In an interview with David Fizdale, the coach mentioned that he would sprinkle in some point guard time for RJ Barrett due to his comfort with the ball in his hands.
Barrett handled the ball plenty at Duke and his 4.3 assists per game show he had some success (though his 3.2 turnovers show he has room for improvement). The Knicks have plenty of rotation players that will handle the ball in Elfrid Payton, Dennis Smith Jr. and Julius Randle, but this year should be all about developing their young players. Barrett should have nice assist numbers for a wing you can draft in the late rounds.

October 15, 2019, 11:44 pmDoug McDermottSF, Indiana Pacers
Doug McDermott sank four treys on his way to 14 points (5-for-10 FGs) in a loss to the Wolves on Tuesday.
McDermott is a 3-point streamer and not much else these days. He provides very little else, especially now that he's likely to get under 20 minutes per game for the second season.
October 15, 2019, 11:37 pmAaron HolidayPG, Indiana Pacers
Aaron Holiday (upper respiratory infection) returned to the court on Tuesday against the Wolves, scoring nine points and dishing out four assists in 17 minutes off the bench.
Fellow point guard T.J. McConnell (10 points and eight assists in 20 minutes tonight) has been soaking up enough of the point-guard minutes, that Holiday's role isn't simply the full-time backup point guard that many fantasy players hoped. Edmond Sumner (upper respiratory infection) also played after previously being listed as questionable. Sumner had 11 points and four assists in 26 minutes off the bench.
October 15, 2019, 11:29 pmGoga BitadzeC, Indiana Pacers
Goga Bitadze (ankle) impressed in his Pacers debut on Tuesday as he went for 14 points (6-for-9 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two 3-pointers in 24 minutes.
It was a nice way to begin his career in Indy. Bitadze won't likely play this many minutes on a regular basis, but he should get enough minutes to warrant rostering in deep leagues right away. He's in a situation similar to fellow rookie big man Brandon Clarke. Both are currently blocked but have big dynasty value.
October 15, 2019, 11:19 pmDomantas SabonisC, Indiana Pacers
Domantas Sabonis double-doubled on Tuesday in a 119-111 loss to the Wolves, putting up 11 points (3-for-7 FGs, 4-for-6 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists and one 3-pointer in just 17 minutes.
Sabonis is in line for a slightly bigger role this season, but he's still likely to be a very Enes Kanter-like big man. That is, he'll do everything a traditional center does without the blocks but with good free throw shooting.
October 15, 2019, 11:10 pmKarl-Anthony TownsC, Minnesota Timberwolves
Karl-Anthony Towns dominated on Tuesday with 33 points (13-for-20 FGs, 3-for-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and four threes in a 119-111 win over the Pacers in Indianapolis.
What, no steals? Kidding. This is about all you could ask for from a top-5 fantasy pick. Towns had all of his strengths on display in limited minutes tonight. He should certainly be in consideration for the first pick in drafts.
October 15, 2019, 11:03 pmJarrett CulverG-F, Minnesota Timberwolves
Jarrett Culver came off the bench and dropped 15 points (7-for-14 FGs, 1-for-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and one steal on the Pacers in 20 minutes in a win on Tuesday.
Culver's lines are looking respectable already with minutes in the low 20s. The 20-year-old will likely have some growing pains, but he looks like an all-around player to keep an eye on as the season gets underway. Josh Okogie also played 20 minutes off the bench and put up five points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal.
October 15, 2019, 10:57 pmShabazz NapierPG, Minnesota Timberwolves
Shabazz Napier dished out seven assists in addition to nine points (2-for-8 FGs, 3-for-4 FTs), three rebounds, two steals and two triples in 19 minutes on Tuesday vs. the Pacers.
Napier could find himself in a good position should anything happen to Jeff Teague this season. Even as it stands now, there aren't many other trusted ball handlers on the Wolves. Those in deep leagues should make sure he's rostered as he's shown great production in the past.
October 15, 2019, 10:50 pmJordan BellPF, Minnesota Timberwolves
Jordan Bell (left calf strain) got his first action of the preseason on Tuesday and had four points (2-of-4 from the field) and five rebounds in seven minutes.
Bell has a new opportunity with the Wolves this season and he returned to his crazy per-minute stats tonight. He's a definite watch, as he could get backup minutes at both the four and five spots. Bell only needs about 20 minutes per game to be worth starting in deeper leagues. Keita Bates-Diop (back spasms) was available but did not play in this one.
October 15, 2019, 10:44 pmJeff TeaguePG, Minnesota Timberwolves
Jeff Teague didn't shoot well but had a solid night on Tuesday, providing nine points (3-for-14 FGs, 2-for-3 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, two steals, two blocks and a 3-pointer in 28 minutes.
Teague isn't the solid bet to finish inside the top-50 that he used to be, but he's a great value around pick 90 where he's been going in drafts.

ORIENTAL GREENS AND CABBAGES Various crops are offered here—all are traditional culinary types from Asia. Bok choy and Tatsoi are turnip relatives grown for their spatulate leaves and succulent petioles (stems) which are often white and very juicy. Mustards are grown for their thinner, often spicy leaves. Chinese cabbages and kale form tight heads, but of often quite unusual shapes compared to the usual Western ones. As a group, these types tend to be fairly early and tolerant to cooler weather. Mustards, as a rule, are the greens most tolerant of heat, can take some frosts, and stay usable longest in the garden; pak choy, tatsoi, and cabbages are apt to bolt in frosty weather or summer heat. All are best in cool spring or fall conditions. Most should be sown where plants are to grow. Sow no deeper than one-quarter inch in moist, rich, well-draining soil. Most types mature in about 45 days; heading varieties require 60-75 days.

David Gilman, the former Leicester teacher convicted last week of sexually assaulting a student and sentenced Thursday to 10-13 years in prison, is said to have apparently used social media to help groom the 12-year-old female student he assaulted several times in 2009.
This tactic has become one of the primary means by which sexual predators stalk and groom their victims, according to children�s advocates, such as Jetta Bernier, executive director of Massachusetts Citizens for Children.
�These individuals try to put themselves in situations that give them access to kids. They interact with kids online. They offer free homework lessons, looking to find which kids make the best victims, and which ones would be the most likely not to tell of the relationship,� she said.
In addition to predators having more personal access to students, Ms. Bernier said some schools are not doing enough to screen out potential sexual predators or to educate teachers and other school employees in detecting and preventing sexual abuse of students.
�This is an issue in which you can�t wait for an incident to occur before you act,� she said. �You need to train your staff and volunteers to prevent this from happening. You have to establish a code of conduct and standards that will easily identify a predator when he is grooming a child.�
Sexual misconduct is the main reason teachers lose their license in Massachusetts, and state officials during the past several years have upped their efforts to investigate sexual abuse allegations.
The state, however, cannot act unless school administrators report these incidents, but some, stymied by the still remaining culture of silence around the issue, have allowed educators accused of sexual misconduct to leave without reporting them.
But even in cases where questionable conduct by a teacher is reported, the district could find it difficult to discipline or dismiss that educator.
In 2002, for example, an arbitrator ordered the reinstatement of a Worcester teacher who was dismissed for sexually harassing a student, which included touching the student on the leg and shoulder, staring at her inappropriately, rubbing her thigh and telling her that he loved her.
The teacher admitted only touching the student on the leg and shoulder, but an arbitrator found that while the teacher�s conduct was wrong, it was not serious enough to merit dismissal.
In another Worcester public schools incident, a guidance counselor admitted that while he was chaperoning a conference in 1998, he drank a beer and touched a high school student�s ankle and kissed her cheek.
He explained his behavior as common in his cultural heritage. His dismissal was overturned by an arbitrator and upheld by a Worcester Superior Court judge.
Such outcomes can certainly dissuade other victims from coming forward, but the imperative for schools to become more vigilant in protecting students cannot be overstated. Fortunately there are ample resources out there for schools who take this issue seriously.
The Massachusetts Citizens for Children, for example, offers schools, other institutions and communities an array of programs and training to strengthen their child protection policies and practices.
A number of communities around the state, including a group of southern Worcester County towns and organizations, are participating in one such program, �The Enough Abuse Campaign.� The South County group will hold a training session June 27 and 28 in Webster and additional information is available from the Massachusetts Citizens for Children at (617) 742-8555.
Call them. It is time to break the culture of silence on sexual predators who prowl our schools.

Despite rampant rumors to the contrary, Bobby Flay will not be opening a restaurant in Sag Harbor.
The New York Post's Jennifer Gould Keil reported on December 29 that the celebrity chef had been in talks to take over the space currently occupied by Espresso's at 184 Division Street. Flay tweeted that he would not take over the space and this Wednesday confirmed the story is false.
"The reports that I'm opening a restaurant in Sag Harbor are completely fabricated and not true," Flay wrote in an email to the Express. "I have no idea where the assumed space in Sag Harbor is. I've never stepped foot in the space nor have I ever spoken to the owners."
"Sag Harbor," he added, "is one of my favorite places to visit in the Hamptons but I will only be dining in other people's restaurants, not opening my own."
A staple in Sag Harbor since 1993, Espresso Italian Market and Grill, or Espresso's, as it's commonly referred to, has reportedly been sold by owners Corrado Paini and Richie Camacho, but the building's new occupants are yet unknown. Paini and Camacho bought the established store from Robin and Luigi Tagliasacchi in 2005.
Calls to Espresso were not returned as of press time.
The reaction to news that Espresso's would stop serving its famed focaccia, and the like, after 20 years had a ripple effect throughout Sag Harbor, many residents lamenting the changes they have seen in the two-and-a-half square mile village.
"I spent many days after school hanging with friends at Espresso's," said Ryan Skinner, a Sag Harbor resident who graduated from Pierson High School in 2004. "It was the Pierson hangout spot, I have some fond memories there."
"Espresso's is a treasure," Judi and Howard Roth wrote Monday in a letter to The Sag Harbor Express. "We hope, hope, hope that they will find someplace else to open or that they manage to renegotiate and stay just where they are."
In the same column in the Post, Keil also reported Citarella, a Manhattan-based gourmet market with local shops in East Hampton and Bridgehampton, was planning to open a Sag Harbor store. Rumors quickly circulated around town that Citarella would be leaving its East Hampton location and taking over the Schiavoni's Market space on Main Street, which the Schiavoni family has owned and operated out of since 1941.
The owners of Citarella and Schiavoni's Market confirmed these rumors are also unfounded.
"We are not opening in Sag Harbor," said Citarella owner Joe Gurrera Wednesday. "Rumors start, no idea where, but we are not opening in Sag Harbor."
Gurrera confirmed Citarella is not leaving its East Hampton location, as some had speculated, but will in fact open another store on Hampton Road in Southampton this spring.
"We're staying," Schiavoni's Market owner Mike Schiavoni said Tuesday. "I have sons involved, everybody's fourth generation, so no."
Schiavoni reiterated Schiavoni's Market is a multi-generational market and he plans to keep it that.
Matt Schiavoni, who shares a great grandfather with Mike, manages the store with his wife, Judy. He said Tuesday there is "no truth" to rumors the family market is leaving Sag Harbor.
Mike is committed to "continuing generational activity at the store" and keeping the market — and the building, which his mother and aunt own — in the family, he said Wednesday.

USA Today Social Security commentary riddled with falsehoods
In a January 14 column in USA Today, Stefani D. Carter, identified as a former fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation and a current student at Harvard Law School and Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, made false claims to argue that Social Security faces an imminent threat and that private accounts are the solution.
First, Carter falsely claimed that Social Security "will be forced to cut benefits or increase taxes" in 2018:
In about 13 years, Social Security will begin to pay out more in benefits than it receives in taxes. At that point, the program will be forced to cut benefits or increase taxes, either of which will negatively affect minorities and the poor. By 2032, only a few years before I retire, Social Security will be taking in only enough money to pay 70% of promised benefits.
In fact, the Social Security trustees estimate that under current law the trust fund has enough money to pay promised benefits until the year 2042 -- not in 2018, as Carter claimed -- while the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the so-called "year of exhaustion" will be 2052.
According to the trustees, in 2018 the Social Security trust fund will begin to pay out more in benefits than it receives in taxes, and in 2032, yearly revenues will equal 70 percent of costs. But current law ensures that long-term assets, in the form of U.S. Treasury bonds, will cover these expected yearly shortfalls. The trust fund has been accumulating these bonds for decades and will continue to accumulate them until 2018; during this accumulation period, the system has collected billions more in taxes each year than it pays out in benefits.
Next, Carter misleadingly claimed that Social Security is unfair to poor and minority workers, citing the example of a beloved uncle who died before the retirement age and therefore, according to Carter, "didn't get a dime back" :
Minorities get the least because they generally have a lower average life expectancy than whites (age 72 for blacks vs. 78 for whites). They are being cheated out of years of payout. The poor are hurt disproportionately, too. Lower-income Americans also have a shorter life expectancy than the well-off, meaning a smaller overall payout.
But while whites do have a higher life expectancy than blacks, the difference between the two expectancies is largely due to higher mortality rates among infants and the young. Infants pay nothing into the Social Security system, and youths who die in their teens or 20s pay a relatively small amount. According to the report Health, United States, 2004 , compiled by the Centers for Disease Control's National Center for Health Statistics, the difference in life expectancy for blacks and whites who survive until 65 is about two years (depending on birth cohort).
In claiming that Social Security was unfair to her uncle, Carter also ignored a substantial element of the Social Security program: survivor and disability benefits. If her uncle, who died when he was 58, had become disabled, he would have received disability benefits from Social Security. In addition, his wife and children, if he had them, would have been entitled to Social Security survivor benefits.
Finally, Carter criticized the current Social Security system as inefficient, writing: "The program, as it stands, is an inefficient way to save for retirement: It has a decreasing rate of return." Many economists believe, however, that President Bush's proposed private investment accounts will vastly increase retirees' exposure to risk without producing a better rate of return than the current system. Brookings Institution senior fellow Peter R. Orszag, former special assistant to the president for economic policy (1997-98), reviewed estimates by three other economists -- including one who openly favors creating individual accounts -- and all three indicated that private accounts will typically provide a rate of return similar to that provided under the current system.
Vincenzo Galasso, a researcher at the Centre for Economic and Policy Research, argued in a paper published in the September 2002 Social Security Bulletin that the rate of return would be higher in the current system than for private accounts. He wrote: "Calculations of the median voter's return from " investing" in Social Security suggest that for a majority of voters the U.S. Social Security system provides higher ex-post, or actual, returns than alternative assets."

The penetration percentage for Flash on PCs around the world is something like 98 -- that's almost everyone -- and many, many sites employ the standard on their pages. When we say many, we mean most if not all of the pages you typically visit use Flash to display some of their content. The iPad browser doesn't support Flash, and won't support Flash, perhaps ever. Apple has not only turned away from what is the industry standard for rich media in webpages, but it instead is pushing a newer standard called HTML5. Apple has been very successful thus far in moving its agenda forward and bringing websites into the fold of HTML5, but we're talking maybe, say, one percent of websites on the internet. Probably way less.
So how much of a stumbling block is the lack of multitasking? The honest truth is that a large number of users won't notice or care, which is why it's easy for Apple to ignore the problem (or claim that their OS supports the functionality because they allow a handful of their native apps to run in the background). For the rest of us, this is starting to feel just like copy and paste -- a problem so obvious and so easy to fix that it's just perplexing Apple doesn't come up with a solution and end the conversation. The iPad may do many things better than a netbook, but multitasking is not one of them.
You will get work done with it, play with it, consume content with it, but the underlying framework of the real operating system is almost completely invisible. For instance, in applications like Numbers or Keynote, you don't have "files," rather a long, Cover Flow-style list of work to scroll through. Have 200 documents you've "saved"? Tough -- you just have to scroll through them all to get to the last one. To say that sometimes it feels like a computer for beginners might be overkill. But it's close.
For many consumers, it will be easy enough to accomplish much of what you would with a netbook or laptop on the iPad, and yet other experiences will extend far beyond what you would do on a typical computer. It's not a laptop replacement, and this OS can't do everything a laptop can do -- but maybe it doesn't have to.
The buyer of an iPad is one of two people, the first is someone who sees not just the present, but the potential of a product like the iPad... and believes in and is excited about that potential. This is also a person who can afford what amounts to a luxury item. The second is an individual who simply doesn't need to get that much work done, and would prefer their computing experience to be easier, faster, and simpler.

They basically give the finger to Adobe and Google and they are still gaining steam. And will probably continue until they have some competition in the mobile market. So far it's not even close. Apple owns the mobile internet.
windigo wrote:Google already has more features than Apple when it comes to their smart phones.
windigo wrote:And look at the iPad - it's got less features than a 250$ netbook. Apple's ahead of the game here because they found out people don't care and are focusing on features people use.
windigo wrote:Where is Google teaming with MS?
windigo wrote:I agree with you that eventually the open systems will win but I think we've got too long a way to go here. For a desktop there's no question because you don't really care who makes what for parts. There's lots of mixing and matching and customization. We're not there for phones and laptops or "pads". In this arena it's too important to have the hardware and software tightly coupled.
windigo wrote:If the PC world can't figure out beating Apple at laptops yet (which have been around for a long time now) - how are they going to figure out beating them at smart phones?
windigo wrote:I don't see Apple making the same mistake like it did in the personal computing days. That fact is they lost that battle because Windows was better and allowed you to do more. Now days the "insiders and educated people" tend to like OS X (maybe because it's built on unix which is more open and all that). Things aren't the same as the 80's now.
windigo wrote:If you look at iPhone + iPod touch + iPad though - Apple is crushing them. Mobile internet doesn't necessarily mean using a cell network anymore.
windigo wrote:I also don't think it will be long before the iPhone takes over Blackberry in numbers. Once Apple breaks away from AT&T they just opened another flood gate.
windigo wrote: They just want to sell the most expensive devices and those devices will use whatever they feel like using whether its convenient and logical or not.
windigo wrote:RE: laptops
I'm talking about market share. I'm talking about the best laptop. It's a 15'' MacBook Pro. Why is Apple STILL ahead in laptop design??? Their touch pad setup beats everything out there - it's not even close. And it integrates perfectly with the OS.
windigo wrote:Android is up because its new. Apple is stuck with AT&T and they need a bigger pool.
windigo wrote:Agreed, the iPad won't be as successful as the iPhone/iPod. But it's just another area where they will assert themselves as the top tier product. The Kindle or the Barnes & Noble reader (for the name) or Sony's project, etc are all better e-book readers. Yet they are all toast now since the iPad is perceived to be superior.
windigo wrote:Also, you can't really compare Apple's laptop numbers with everyone that easily. They don't sell netbooks and those numbers are inflating HP/Dell a lot. It's amazing Apple is where it is on that list given the price premium. It would be interesting to see the market share based on price tiers.

The TV commercials are already promoting the �biggest shopping day of the year,� which comes a bit earlier this year due to the shorter Christmas shopping season.
Black Friday kicks off Thursday with major retailers dangling big savings on many popular items -- and there are a lot of good deals to be had.
But the best deal is to shop local, and shop small.
Saturday is Small Business Saturday, a �shopping holiday� creative in 2010 by American Express to help small local retailers compete with the Big Boxes.
Smaller local businesses don�t have the buying power or the inventory to compete with the larger retail chains, but they are vital members of a community who contribute greatly to a community�s quality of life.
Because of the recession and sluggish recovery, these past five years have been difficult for many small businesses trying to survive. Competition from the larger retail chains is one thing, losing customers because of economic conditions is something altogether different.
Small businesses are the organizations that sponsor Little League teams, donate to local charities and causes. Small business owners hire local workers and patronize other local businesses. Local business owners pay property taxes, which helps maintain tax revenues that pay for services and programs important to a community.
The money consumers spend purchasing products from small local businesses typically stays within the community, adding to its economic stability.
And the level service for customers is usually higher and more personal at a small retailer, and so are the products that they offer. Granted the selection may not be as varied at smaller boutiques, local book stores and novelty shops, but adding that personal touch to one�s holiday shopping with a hand-crafted gift is rewarding in more ways than one.
It�s estimated that $5.5 billion was spent at local shops nation-wide on Small Business Saturday last year. That is a significant boost to local economies -- and one that can be easily duplicated this coming Saturday.
That�s our opinion. We�d like to hear yours. Email us your thoughts at email@example.com

First, noone in Russia is used to multiple choice exams. This form of education is never used here. For example, applying to a university you are usually given 3-5 (in some places even 1(!!!)) problem to solve for 3-5 hours. These problems are really tough. Sometimes, you are not even supposed to solve it up to the end - the admission committee looks at what ideas did you have for solution and how far did you get. So, the whole educational system is very different.

By default, let all algebras be complex and unital. I am concerned with the non-commutative algebras. I am wondering if the following might be true (at least for some classes of algebras, like semi-simple algebras).
Suppose $A$ is a complex, non-commutative algebra with a maximal right ideal which is not finitely generated as a right ideal. Must $A$ contain a maximal left ideal which is not finitely generated as a left ideal? Is there any relation between generation of right/left ideals in general?

letter containing a threat to behead Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie unless she helps implement Sharia law in Australia has sparked a security assessment at the outspoken independent's office.
The letter was received at the senator's Burnie office last week and included threats to behead the former Palmer United Party member unless she converted to Islam and helped implement Sharia law by March 18.
It was accompanied by graphic images of a man being beheaded, which prompted the senator's office to treat the threats seriously.
"By the powers invested in me by Allah, I sentence you to death," the letter said.
"I will take the honour in beheading you ... when you are least prepared; my men and I will take your office by surprise."
Senator Lambie has been a vocal critic of Islamic Sharia law, but she said the death-threats would not deter her.
"I have no doubt that it is my stance against Sharia Law and my questions on Halal that are going on at the moment," she said.
"The bottom line is that we are at war with ISIS and we are just going to have to be extremely cautious."
