Sept. 21, 2005
DUDLEY, Mass. - The Engineers came into Tuesday night's game against Nichols College riding the momentum of a three game winning streak, and the Bison could not slow them down at Michael J. Vendetti Field. MIT continued to roll, holding on for a 2-1 win. Senior co-captain Noelle Kanaga provided all the offensive firepower for MIT with two goals, increasing her season total to four while extending her point streak to four games.
The Engineers jumped out to an early 1-0 advantage at 22:30 of the first half when Kanaga put home a pass from sophomore Lauren McCarthy. The Bison had a golden opportunity to tie the score moments later, but MIT senior Cheryl Texin made a huge defensive save. But Nichols freshman Lauren Pettoruto responded 14 minutes later to even the score at one with her first career goal. Pettoruto capitalized on a pass from junior Whitney Shilleto on a penalty corner.
The game remained deadlocked for just five minutes before Kanaga came back for more, scoring what would prove to be the game-winner. Senior Lauren Nowierski fed Kanaga a pass and she made no mistake, beating Nichols senior goalkeeper Kara Cicchiello.
The Engineers defense tightened up in the second half, taking control of the game and allowing just two shots. Meanwhile, MIT's offense continued to pepper Cicchiello with shots, but the Bison goalkeeper was up to the challenge, stopping all nine in the second frame. After failing to get the ball past midfield for most of the second half, the Bison finally got some chances to knot the game in the final four minutes, but the last ditch effort was unsuccessful.
MIT's victory was the sixth of the season and the third straight over Nichols. MIT currently has the best record at this point of the season since the 1995 team went 13-3 before losing 1-0 to Amherst College in the first round of the ECAC tournament.
The Engineers will look to reach 7-1 when they host UMass Dartmouth on Thursday night at Jack Barry Field.

If you live close to the water, ocean, river or lake, try to fit in some last minute fun as the days will soon to too cool to enjoy the water. Now that the days are getting shorter in our part of the world, we are trying to squeeze a lot of fun activities into the daylight hours. Even talking a walk to the local playground can be made into a fun afternoon. Pack a picnic lunch to make it special.
It's a perfect time of the year to ride bikes, fly a kite, go camping and take hikes along the oceanfront. The fish are still biting and crabs are still nibbling, so fit in some fisherman fun. If you haven't taken a boat ride or gone kayaking or canoeing yet this year, now is the time. Find out what the kids would like to do before it gets too cold for everyone to enjoy the great outdoors. Even taking time to watch the stars once it gets dark and make some smores around a firepit is a great way to spend an evening.

Databases are a relational environment, while the cloud is a tree-alike data store. Saving unrelated data in the cloud has been proved by Google as a successfull implementation. But there where you have much structured data, different tables and relations between tables, the database is still the best.
This is wrong ! SQL databases means relational databases, where data is placed well, with relations between tables. The database model has to reflect in a natural way the business model and indirect will reflect the complete application model.
Try to keep a clean, well relational database model and the performance will increase. Try to make a distinction between low volume data and high volume data. For each of them you should have a different design strategy. High volume data has to be kept small, well normalized.

On Aug. 10, 2012, Harrison Manyoma was about to become a statistic. Every day in the United States, 22 military veterans commit suicide, and on that day, the 37-year-old Catholic from Texas was contemplating taking his own life.
It was seven years after he was discharged from the Army, having served three tours of duty in Iraq where he was seriously injured by a suicide car bomb, leaving him with third-degree burns to his face, memory loss and blurred vision. But on that late summer day, he received a call from the U.S. veteran's organization Team Red, White & Blue offering him to join a Heroes to Heroes visit to the Holy Land.
"That saved my life," said Manyoma, who was back in Israel at the end of March, this time as a coach for the fourth Heroes to Heroes visit. "The first time I came here it really opened my life, my heart, my mind to how ridiculous an idea it was to kill myself. Heroes to Heroes was what I needed; it is a mentally empowering program. The healing process just can't come by itself here; it has to be something spiritual."
His own participation two years ago marked a pivotal point in his continuing recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder, which affects a large number of U.S. veterans when they come back to civilian life.
The brain child of Judy Schaffer, a Jewish American who works in radio marketing and sales in Teaneck, N.J., the Heroes to Heroes program was founded four years ago and brings to the Holy Land American veterans who are suffering in various degrees from PTSD to visit Christian and Jewish sites, spend time with Israeli army veteran counterparts and to renew their faith.
Schaffer came up with the idea after a 2009 visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., at the behest of Cliff Nolan, Political Action Committee Chairman for Teamsters Joint Council 73. Nolan, who later joined her in founding Heroes to Heroes and is now a board member, opened Schaffer's eyes to the difficult situation many veterans were facing. The encounter with the veterans, she said, changed her life.
Schaffer said her grandfather and father were veterans of World Wars I and II, respectively, and she feels a responsibility to the U.S. veterans returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
"These veterans who have come back to civilian life have lost their faith," Schaffer said. "I began to think about how I could bring back faith to these vets. Israel gives faith to so many people; there is so much here. It is the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity," said Schaffer, who accompanied 10 U.S. vets, all of them Christian, on the trip this spring. The group also included two coaches — veterans who participated in previous trips to Israel — and five Israeli veterans.
Standing outside the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Greg Grutter, 47, a 19-year veteran of the Marines and National Guard who served in Panama, Iraq and Afghanistan and is a member of St. Mark Parish in Cranston, R.I., recounted how he "was blown up a few times."
After having come as a participant on a Heroes to Heroes trip in October, he returned this spring as a coach.
"Israel is the only place I don't have nightmares. In the United States, I have terrible, horrible nightmares," he said, leaning on the cane he keeps around just in case for balance after suffering spinal damage from a car bomb explosion in Kabul, Afghanistan.
He has maintained contact with the Israeli vets he met on his first trip, he said, and now if he wakes up in the middle of the night because of the nightmares, he knows he can reach out through the Internet to one of his Israeli friends who, because of the time difference, are awake. Their responses are always supportive and help him get through the rough spots, he said. Now he is glad he can begin helping some of his fellow U.S. veterans.
"If I can help some of the guys here in need, it makes it worth it. They are struggling with their experience after returning home, wondering if their sacrifice was worth it. They are dealing with guilt, losing friends and now with problems of integration," he added. "Here they talk and there is time to listen. A lot of it has to do with being able to be honest with guys who can relate to them."
Visiting the holy places he learned about as a child in Catholic school has made a real impact on him as he works toward recovery, he said.
"This has given me a better understanding of my faith — definitely brought me closer to my faith and to my God," said the father of two teenagers. "I am hoping I can take that with me, to make it better for me."
In addition to visiting the holy sites, the group went to Yad Vashem (Israel's national memorial to Jewish Holocaust victims) and to Ammunition Hill to see firsthand where part of the battle for Jerusalem took place in 1967. They also met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of the Israeli legislature. They also traveled to Tel Aviv and the Galilee, where they had the opportunity to be baptized in the Jordan River.
The veterans also meet privately with their Israeli counterparts every night to share experiences and stories. They share hotel rooms and form strong bonds that continue after they have returned to the United States.
Though 80 percent are veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, Heroes to Heroes also works with Vietnam vets, Schaffer said.
"We are looking for those roughest (cases) where the injury is not visible but which is devastating — and they get the least attention," Schaffer said. "They don't have a social life; they don't leave their homes. They have given up. Once they get here their world changes, and we can see it before our eyes. It helps them open up."
Three days into their trip, the veterans had shared their experiences and spoken about many tough issues, said Israeli Amit Bar El, 43, who lost most of his eyesight fighting as a reservist in 2006 in the Second Lebanon War. Still, he said, the really difficult issues had just been touched upon.
"We are slowly peeling back the layers," said Bar El, the father of three young girls. "We have not reached the hard core yet, but we are getting there."
Most Americans are completely unaware of what veterans went through during war or what they are going through when coming back from combat, Grutter said, noting that many turn to drugs and have difficulty with relationships because they suffer from depression, anxiety and anger management issues. Grutter said that because this generation of soldiers was the first to face large-scale combat since Vietnam, the country did not know what to do with them.
Only 1 percent of the American population serves in the military, said Benjamin Sanchez, 42, from El Paso, Texas, who served as a combat medic in an Army paratrooper unit during three tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq.
His time in the combat zones almost ruined his marriage, he said.
As a combat medic, he saw the worst of what human beings can do to each other, including non-combatants, he said, and sometimes he feels that the military just used him.
"I saw young girls — babies — blown to pieces," Sanchez said. "What really haunts me is the children. I love that I can talk to someone here, another paratrooper. There aren't a lot of paratroopers (in the United States); it is a small unit. I most definitely feel like I am amongst people who have gone through the same thing, and yet they are better and feel better."
At Ammunition Hill, Israeli Uri Ehrenfeld, 60, hands out paratrooper pins and insignia to the American veterans, who are visibly moved by the act of camaraderie. Ehrenfeld served as a paratrooper during the Yom Kippur and first Lebanon War and was held captive by the Egyptians for two months in 1973,
"This is a mission, to give a hug from us," said Ehrenfeld, who also suffered from PTSD and can relate to what the Americans are experiencing. He helped found an organization called Awake at Night 15 years ago for Israeli veterans suffering from PTSD. "I think this is an opportunity for us to give them some help. Their situation is not good — no one treats them and they are all alone. They don't have the social framework that supports them. In Israel, the rehabilitation framework is one of the most advanced in the world. I see them and I see us 20 years ago. This is a brotherhood of combatants, and we want to help."
Though not necessarily the aim of the program, the camaraderie they develop with the Israelis creates a strong bond of love and appreciation for Israel.
The visit to Bethlehem is not very long, noted Pastor Todd Horton, who accompanies the veterans during their stay in Israel, because many of the sights and sounds of the Palestinian city, which has a more Middle Eastern feel than the Jewish Israeli cities, reminds them of their time in Iraq or Afghanistan and leaves them uneasy.
"Since I've been here in Bethlehem, I have been on edge," said Chicago resident Diego Flores, 31, an Army and Navy veteran who served multiple tours of duty in Iraq and was medically discharged in 2012. "I am not comfortable being here; it brings back memories, and I feel like I have to be on guard."
Interestingly, he said, it was the visit to the Western Wall and not the Christian holy sites where he felt the most at peace.
"I've lost the spiritual side of my life, and I am searching for that," said Flores, noting that his Catholic school experience was not a good one. "I am hoping to open up so I can better spiritually connect to a higher being — anything that is out there. I feel like I need that in my life now."
Seriously injured during his 15-month deployment in Iraq eight years ago, Army Sgt. Michael Acevedo, 34, a Catholic originally from Puerto Rico but living in Atlanta, still suffers from his wounds and debilitating migraine headaches. He has yet to be able to process the heavy casualty numbers suffered by his unit: 27 of his friends died.
As a Catholic, Acevedo said he wanted to be where Jesus was.
"My grandmother was a devoted Catholic, and she would pray every day. This gives me peace of mind," Acevedo said.
Schaffer hopes to be able to raise enough money to sponsor three trips a year to meet the demand, but for now she is happy they can manage one a year.
The program has also affected how Schaffer relates to her own Jewish faith. It is as if, she said, everything has fallen into place and she knows this is what she is supposed to be doing — being part of something greater than her.
"It has helped me feel so much closer to God," she said. "I feel I am serving a purpose, as if there has been guidance all the way.
"This has been the most incredible learning experience, the most rewarding thing I have done in my life. ... It is so fulfilling; it helps me to understand what is really important in life."

Does anyone else find DSD overwhelming? It just seems like there's so much to do in so little time (games, hunts, scraps, sales, blog hops & freebies) and I can't do it all, and it's too hard to pick & choose...
@Lizanne: I think we all feel that way, especially with our limited times on the computer. It's hard to get it all done. I just kind of look around pick out the ones that look most my style and try to do my best at getting those. Hope you got some great goodies!
Yeah the downloading part/ extract and organize part has taken all of my time so i havn't had any time to scrap
@Shawna & Jessica: When I told my husband on Friday it was digiscrapbook day/weekend he just rolled his eyes & said... okay, hope to see you sometime this weekend. LOL!
I did manage to download some things, but some were hard because they were all on Facebook & I don't have (and do not want to have) a Facebook account. My oldest son has one, but I can't expect him to do all that downloading for me...
@Lizanne: you can always open a "just scrapbook facebook account" With one email that you've created especially for this that you don't have to share with anyone That way you get the goods without the personal part
@Jessica: My son keeps telling me to do that, but I keep telling him no. LOL
Marisa, I missed the last day of your DSD kit? What did I miss, and is there any way to still get it? Thanks!
In a week or so you'll see the DSD kit on the site. So never fear, you didn't miss your only chance.

Deutsche Telekom will launch a secure internet service next year for smaller companies that find it hard to pay for defenses against sophisticated forms of cyber crime.
The German firm presented the plan at a cyber security conference at its Bonn headquarters as a diplomatic row rages between the United States and Europe over spying accusations.
Last month Deutsche Telekom urged German communications companies to cooperate in shielding local internet traffic from foreign intelligence services.
It said on Monday that, for a fixed monthly fee, small and medium-sized firms would be able to access the internet via Deutsche Telekom data centres, where content would transported via a secure data line known as a 'clean pipe'.
"Hackers will have no chance," Deutsche Telekom's management board member Reinhard Clemens said.
"Of course cyber crime needs an international approach but we can't wait until politicians come up with something. We need to come with solutions right now."
Addressing the conference, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak suggested hackers would more than keep pace with attempts to neutralise them.
"We ain't seen nothing yet," said former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak. "The offense is light years ahead of defense and that is likely to remain so."
The 'clean pipe' project, in which Deutsche Telekom partners with RSA - part of US technology firm EMC - is in a test phase and scheduled to hit the market early next year.
Deutsche Telekom cited data presented to the conference as showing only 13 percent of German companies have not experienced a cyber attack, and about a third of more than 200 companies with more than 1000 workers experienced several attacks a week.
The global security technology and services market is expected to grow 8.7 percent to US$67.2 billion (A$71.8 billion) in 2013 and to more than US$86 billion in 2016, according to research firm Gartner.
EU telecoms commissioner Neelie Kroes told the conference it was better to focus on increased security preventing or reducing spying, rather than on legal efforts to ban or punish it.
"If you want to stop a burglar breaking through your front door, you don't need a good lawyer, you need a good lock," she said.

What is a Multivalue Database?
If you are an experienced database professional, you will be familiar with the relational database model. This model is widely taught in academic institutions, often with an implication that it is the only valid way in which a database can be constructed. The multivalue database model successfully challenges this viewpoint and has significant advantages. With the growing NoSQL movement encouraging a move away from the relational database model, multivalue is the obvious and well proven alternative.
The multivalue model was created at about the same time as the relational model but has not received the recognition that it deserves, however, it is widely used in systems ranging from simple single user applications to the massive databases employed by some of the world's largest corporations. Perhaps one reason why it is not more widely known is that it rarely makes the news because multivalue database projects tend be delivered on time and within budget. Developers who work with this model are usually so enthusiastic about it that it is surprising that it has remained unheard of by many database professionals.
One of the key features of the multivalue model is that it enables information to be stored in the database in a form that more closely relates to the real world entities that the data represents than is possible in a relational database. It achieves this by relaxing one of the rules imposed by the relational model that otherwise complicates database design, increases application complexity, and hence raises development costs.
Before exploring the multivalue data model, it is worth observing that this is a superset of the relational model. Everything that can be done in a relational database can be done in multivalue but it is the ability to store multi-dimensional data that makes this model so powerful.
Database Tables
There are many ways to represent data in a database but the most common is as simple two dimensional tables, each containing data of a specific type. As an example, a very simple sales processing system might have just three tables storing the stock data (STOCK), customer details (CUSTOMERS) and orders placed (SALES).
The STOCK table that stores product stock levels might be structured as in the diagram below.
Adopting some terminology, each row of this table is referred to as a record and the unique identifier for a row (in this case the part number) is referred to as the key or record id.
The Rules of Normalisation
The Rules of Normalisation were proposed by Ted Codd in 1970 and, although put forward as a discussion document, have been adopted by most relational database developers as fundamental design laws. The first three rules are the most significant and each step transforms the data to the next "normal form".
First Normal Form: Eliminate repeating data by creating a separate table
for each set of repeating data.
Second Normal Form: Separate tables for sets of values that apply to
multiple records.
Third Normal Form: Eliminate fields that do not depend on the key.
Discarding the First Law
The second and third normal forms represent good design practice but the first normal form is largely an artificial and unnecessary step that was partly introduced to make the internal workings of the database software easier. The effect of applying this step is to move away from a database in which the data is stored in a form that closely models the real world entities that it is representing. In the multivalue data model, the first rule of normalisation is discarded (though there may be special occasions when it is useful to apply it).
We are probably all familiar with representing data in multivalue form in our everyday lives. Consider the receipt from a shopping trip to the local supermarket. This will have non-repeating data such as the store name and the date of purchase but it will also have a list of the descriptions, quantities and prices of each item purchased. It would be unreasonable for the supermarket to produce a totally separate receipt for each item purchased and yet that is effectively what the first normal form forces us to do inside the database. Unless the supermarket is a multivalue user, there is a good chance that their software breaks the data from the checkout into separate tables in the database and that the process of producing the receipt requires this data to be reassembled into a single entity. In a multivalue database, the transaction is stored in the database as a single record that represents the entire purchase.
The Multivalue Data Model
Consider the SALES table. The rows of the table (records) each hold the data for an individual order. The columns, known as fields or attributes, hold information about the orders. Keeping this very simple, we might need columns to store the order date, a cross-reference to the CUSTOMERS table (probably the customer number) and a list of part numbers, quantities and prices.
The diagram above shows how the multivalue model allows us to store the entire order as a single record instead of breaking the repeated data (product, quantity, price) into a separate table. As our orders become larger, the performance advantage of this model becomes more significant. Also, by reducing the number of tables, the application becomes simpler to understand and hence easier to develop and maintain.
Our SALES table has just six fields including the record id. Realistic databases are much more complex with, perhaps, over one hundred fields at times.
To fully understand the power of the multivalue data model, it is useful to
understand how this data is represented inside the database. All data is
normally stored in character format rather than storing binary values for
numeric items. The data in each field is concatenated to form a single
character sequence that represents the entire record. To provide a way to know
where the boundaries between the fields lie, we insert a special marker
character called a field mark between each field. Similarly, where a
field contains multiple values, these are separated by value mark
characters. Thus order 12001 from the diagram above becomes
Character data that is divided into fields and values is known as a dynamic array, a term that emphasises that it is a list of items, each of which can be of variable format. Although dynamic arrays are most commonly used to represent database records, they are often used for other purposes within multivalue applications.
There are several important things to note about this representation of our data record.
Firstly, note that the order number is not in the data. In any database system, we need a way to uniquely identify the records in the table, in this example by use of the order number. In the multivalue data model, the unique identifier (known as the record id or key) is not considered to be part of the data but is a handle by which we access the data. Although it may at times be helpful to consider it as part of the record as in the diagram above, reading a record from the database returns only the data fields.
Secondly, notice that although there is a value by value relationship (an association) between the values in the product number, quantity and price fields, there is nothing in the stored data to show this. The structure and interpretation of the content of a record is defined by the table's dictionary.
Thirdly, by use of mark characters, it is possible to store truly variable length data. There will come a time when the customer numbers need to be expanded to five digits. With the multivalue model, we can store these as variable length so that no changes are needed to the database when the number of digits increases. Use of mark characters also implies that the multivalued fields can hold any number of values. The data model imposes no restrictions.
The database may at times store data internally in a different form than
would be used to present this data to a user. Dates are usually stored
as a number of days from a reference point in time and fractional
values are normally scaled into a lower unit to eliminate the decimal point.
Our example record above becomes
The data model allows us to go one more level, breaking values into
subvalues. Perhaps our order processing database needs to store the
serial numbers of each part sold. We could add a further field that has a
value for each part number, further divided into a subvalue for each serial
If this looks complex, take the dynamic array apart one layer at a time. First identify the fields, then identify the values in each field and then, if relevant, identify the subvalues in each value.
By storing our data in this form, our orders table is now a four dimensional structure that, once we understand the concept, is far simpler than the multi-table representation forced upon users of the relational model. Also, the additional processing needed to locate and extract items from the dynamic array is usually far less costly than merging data from separate tables as would be needed in a relational database. Note, however, that there is no reason why a multivalue database cannot store fully normalised data if the developer so wishes.
So what are the mark characters? When the multivalue data model was originally created, the upper half of the 8-bit character set was undefined. The designers of the data model chose to use the final five characters (251 to 255) as the marks.
In the table above, the column headed Symbol is how the mark character is shown in dynamic arrays in the QM documentation. The column headed @var is a code that can be used in applications to reference the mark character.
The item mark (sometimes known as the record mark) is used internally in some multivalue systems but has little use by developers. The field (attribute), value and subvalue marks are as discussed above. The text mark is used in some places to mark positions where text data could be split over multiple lines.
The upper half of the 8-bit character set is now defined and tends to contain language specific characters. In Europe, for example, it contains the accented characters used by many languages. This poses a problem as, for example, the German u-umlaut (ü) has the character value that the multivalue model assigns to the subvalue mark. It is, therefore, not possible to store, for example, the name Müller. This is clearly unacceptable in some situations and most multivalue products, including QM, provide an option to work with an extended character set such as Unicode.
How Does Multivalue Simplify Applications?
As described above, by relaxing the first rule of normalisation, the multivalue model simplifies applications. But what does this mean in real terms?
The diagrams below represent part of a real application for controlling emergency ambulances (a critical role in which multivalue is often used). If we model the call logging and dispatch elements of this application using the relational model, we end up with a minimum of nine database tables and fifteen inter-relationships.
Redesigning this with the multivalue model yields an application with just four database tables and six inter-relationships.
As additional elements of the application are added, the complexity of the relational model rises rapidly whereas the multivalue version tends to remain simple. Complexity gives rise to higher development and maintenance costs as well as greater risk of error.

Bulldogs down Cougars 12-2 in 5 innings
The Morenci High School baseball team hit its way to a mercy-rule victory in Wednesday's season opener against Lenawee Christian, 12-2 in five innings.
After years of struggles by the Morenci baseball program, earning a victory in the first game of the season was something to be excited about. First-year Morenci coach Anthony Barron received his first win as a head coach, and after Morenci's 2-19 record last year, things look to be promising for the Bulldogs.
"I'll take it," said Barron, a former baseball standout for Morenci. "Everyone hit great today — top to bottom. It's great to get my first win, but it's more about the kids. Everyone contributed today, and that's good to see. It was definitely a team win."
The Bulldogs opened up the game with three quick outs after their starting pitcher, Hunter Borton, picked off a runner at first, struck out the next batter and got a groundout to first.
"Hunter pitched a very solid game today," said Barron. "He worked around hitters, threw strikes and got himself out of a few bad situations. Definitely looks promising for the future."
Morenci would then strike first on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first after Eli Decker hit a ground-ball single, bringing in both Borton and Austin Sandusky.
The Cougars would come close to scoring in the top of the second. After being hit by a pitch, Josh Gamel moved all the way to third base on an error. However, Borton would bounce back and sandwich two strikeouts around a groundout, leaving a man at third and keeping the score at 2-0.
"We didn't hit well today," said Lenawee Christian coach Josh Erd. "We got some guys on base, but could never bring them home. Between the weather and my five seniors just getting done with basketball season, we really had rusty bats today."
The scoring continued in the bottom of the third. After Borton singled and moved to second on a passed ball, Torin Merillat would blast a double to center field, bringing Borton home. Decker would then bring Merillat home after a ground-ball up the middle that turned into an LCS error.
With a score of 4-0 going into the fourth inning, the Cougars had to get their bats going. They were able to do so, but only scored one run after Jacob Baker brought Gamel home with an RBI groundout.
Just when LCS was able to find the scoreboard, the Bulldogs exploded in the bottom of the fourth, as everyone's bats seemed to be hot. It would all start with Bobby Black and Sandusky getting base hits. Tyler VanBrandt would then knock a hit up the middle to bring home Black and bring Sandusky to third, making the score 5-1. Next up would be Borton, who hit a single to right field to bring Sandusky home. Merillat then brought home both VanBrandt and Borton with a single. The bats would continue to hit, as the Bulldogs ended up with eight runs in the inning, extending the score to 12-1.
Going into the fifth inning, the Cougars had one last chance to close the gap. It began to look as if they would do so, as for the first time all game, the LCS bats would get hot. Alex Eberly would bring home Austin Eagen with an RBI single, and LCS would then load the bases. However, Borton's fielders were able to step up and catch two consecutive fly balls, leaving the bases loaded and putting the mercy rule into effect.
"We saw some good and bad things today," said Erd. "We will continue to improve as we get more reps and more experience."
Borton allowed one earned run on five hits, struck out six and walked two in five innings, while scoring three runs himself to go with two hits, an RBI and three stolen bases. Decker went 3-for-3 with a team-high five RBIs. Sandusky went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two RBIs and two runs. Borton added two hits, an RBI, three stolen bases and three runs. Merillat added two hits with a double, an RBI and two runs. Shawn Feltz also contributed two hits.
LCS starting pitcher Jacob Land allowed four runs on four hits, struck out three and walked two in 2 2/3 innings.

Two-time Olympic Trials Marathon qualifier Olson passes away at 33
Following a 15-year battle with a persistent brain tumor, NCAA Division III national champion and two-time Olympic Trials Marathon qualifier Johanna Olson died on Jan. 3 at the age of 33.
First diagnosed with the brain tumor in the fall of 1997 during her freshman year at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, Olson endured three brain surgeries and multiple treatments of chemotherapy and radiation over the next 15 years. In that time she also experienced success as an elite marathon runner by qualifying for the Olympic Trials Marathon in 2004 and 2008 and running a personal best of 2:43:27 in 2003 when she placed seventh at the Twin Cities Marathon. Her career at Luther College included six conference championships and seven All-American honors. On the third anniversary of her first brain surgery, Olson won the 2000 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships.
Olson was forced to undergo surgeries in July of 2009 and September of 2011. But a tumor was still detected in July of 2012.Weakened by her illness and surrounded by family and friends, Olson set out to "ralk" (a combination of running and walking) the Twin Cities Marathon in October. She completed the race in 5:09:54, which was well over two hours slower than her lifetime best.
Preceding the Twin Cities Marathon, Olson appeared in a feature story on www.usatf.org and in Fast Forward, USATF's quarterly member magazine, where she said, "running is my center. If I can run, then I always know things are going to be okay. Through all the hardships that I have had running is that one thing that has kept me going."
Olson attended Wadena-Deer Creek (Minn.) High School where she was a six-time state qualifier and three-time runner-up at the state high school cross country championships. In the fall of 2011 she was inducted into the Luther College Hall of Fame.
Olson's family has been maintaining a blog on the events, which also includes information on her struggles with the illness here.

After four years in the making, Chemin-A-Haut State Park's Big Slough Lake will be opening soon for on bank fishing. With the park known for having some of the most appealing scenery and outdoor activities in Louisiana, park representatives are proud to be offering this 25-acres man-made lake to the public.
"This will be the most beautiful place in the parish to fish," said park manager Russ Brantley. "We've got it stocked with brim and young bass. Eventually we'll have shad in it."
Brantley said for the first three to four years, the lake will be seasonal for fishing, with its open dates being April 1 – Oct. 1.
"After this trial period, we plan to have bass up to 10 pounds," Brantley said. "Until then, we ask that everyone fish with barbless hooks to protect the young bass."
Brantley said a nature trail for walkers and bikers currently goes part of the way around the the lake.
"Eventually, there will be a horse tail around it as well," he said.
Situated on a high bluff overlooking Bayou Bartholomew, the 503-acre park currently offers two playgrounds, a swimming pool, RV and tent camping and cabins. Brantley said overnight guests staying in the cabins will be able to fish part of the lake from the cabin's porches.
Brantley said as of now, the plans for the lake's future are not entirely known, but they have several to consider.
"We may eventually have tournaments on down the road, but it's too soon now to know that for sure," he said. "For now though, we will have a bragging board at the front of the park for fishermen to post pictures of their big catches."
Chemin-A-Haut is located on US 165 or LA 139 north to Bastrop. From Bastrop, take US 425 north to LA 1257, Loop Park Road. Gates are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday through Thursday. The entrance station is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. All park sites close at 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Admission into the park is $1 per person. Seniors and children age 3 and under get in free.

Chestnut Hill's Woodmere Art Museum presented West Mt. Airy pianist Marja Kaisla in recital Sunday afternoon, Dec. 9. The Finnish-born virtuoso played a program of music by George Gershwin and Serge Rachmaninoff for an audience that was the largest so far this season.
Kaisla devoted the first half of the recital to Rachmaninoff and then shifted gears for Gershwin. She opened with Rachmaninoff's most famous solo piano work, "Prelude in C-sharp minor; The Bells of Moscow," catching its evocation of the ringing of the countless bells in Moscow's Russian Orthodox cathedrals. She sensitively voiced the score's parallel chords to imitate the chanting of monks and colored the sonorous double octaves to surround the chant with the magical tolling of the hours.
The Gershwin portion of the recital began with Kaisla playing seven of the American master's own solo piano transcriptions of his popular songs. Although I found her interpretations a tad too heavy on the side of romantic legato and a tad weak on rhythmic accentuation, Kaisla played all seven with sensitivity.
I was less convinced by Kaisla's rendition of Gershwin's solo transcription of his most famous work, "Rhapsody in Blue." Originally scored for piano and jazz band by Ferde Grofe (of "Grand Canyon Suite" fame) for Paul Whiteman in 1924, it's most often heard nowadays in its arrangement for piano and symphony orchestra. Although Gershwin did the solo version himself, it remains a problematic score because there's simply too much music equally divided between band-or-orchestra and piano to successfully compress it all into a solo piano part. It's virtually impossible for a pianist to vary her touch so broadly as to differentiate what was meant for piano from what was meant for the other instruments. Plus there's always the temptation to veer in the direction of Lisztian virtuosity in place of Gershwin's unique Tin Pan Alley-style of American Jazz.
Once again, Kaisla imposed too much romantic legato on the music, offering smooth lyricism to the exclusion of sharp rhythmic thrusts and tart textures. There were also moments when the pianist was dealing with either minor memory lapses or technical mishaps. Hers is an interpretation that still needs more thought and work. It was a good performance, of course, but one that wasn't up to Kaisla's own standard as an international concert artist, a standard evident during her playing of Rachmaninoff's "Corelli Variations."
The Philadelphia Chamber Music Society presented the vocal quartet Anonymous 4 Friday night, Dec. 14, in the Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity on Rittenhouse Square. The church's imposing Victorian Romanesque sanctuary was filled with nearly 1,000 music-lovers eager to hear "A Virgin Unspotted: Medieval & Traditional Christmas Songs for Mary," a seasonal program with historic import.
Comprised of Ruth Cunningham, Marsha Genesky, Susan Hellauer and Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek, Anonymous 4 is the reigning master of this medieval repertoire, much of it derived from manuscripts and codices (ancient or medieval books) that require historically informed and musically sensitive reconstructions to render it suitable for performance. Going far beyond that, however, Anonymous 4 gave renditions Friday night that were models of technical perfection and interpretive commitment. Pitch, blend, balance and diction were immaculate.
Expert projection enabled the singers to fill Holy Trinity's wide-open space with warm resonance. The quartet easily essayed the angular harmonies, jagged rhythms and extravagant melodies without a hitch. More to the point, the quartet sang with an intense passion founded on aesthetic sophistication – and held its audience in rapt attention from start to finish through scores hailing from England, France, Spain and even colonial America.

His oncourt digits are almost as impressive as the ones on his paycheck, but what really has TROY MURPHY smiling are the numbers in the win column. However you add it up, it's clear you can count on Murph.
By Russ Bengtson
The story isn't all that recent, nor is it relevant, but it's a good place to start. We'll start with 1, the number on Troy Murphy's back. It's just after the 2001 Draft, and the Golden State Warriors have selected the Notre Dame junior with the 14th overall pick. Having not much of an idea who's on the team, and having never been to the Bay Area, the then 21-year-old starts with a phone call. But let him tell it.
"I wore number three when I was in college," Murph says, "and then when I got to the Warriors, three was taken by Bobby Sura. So I called Bobby and asked him if I could wear the number, and he told me that he would let me wear the number if I could beat him up. So I'm coming to this team, and this dude's telling me, 'If you can kick my ass, you can have the number.' So I said I'm not sure I need it that bad. Number one seemed real cool at that point."
Laughter all around. The next question seems obvious - when point guard Baron Davis was dealt to the Warriors at the end of last season, did he call Murphy to request his number? Murphy doesn't miss a beat.
"No - but I was going to use the Bobby Sura line on him."
Even if he didn't laugh, you'd know Murphy wasn't serious. He just finished serving up Thanksgiving dinner to a group of underprivileged children at a Danville restaurant, about 45 minutes away from the Warriors practice facility in downtown Oakland (but just minutes from his home, out "with the deer"). It's the fifth year the Warriors have done this, and the fifth year that Murph has helped out. He's the only starter in attendance. And, just in case this whole basketball thing doesn't work out, he'd probably make on hell of a waiter. Long reach and all that. You even get the sense he enjoys it.
And everyone notices. If you can't tell by the fact that he's signing everything from photos to t-shirts to folders for some adoring fans, some of them are more than happy to straight-up tell him so. Tucked in the corner of the restaurant doing this interview, he's discovered. A pair of girls approach, young and not at all shy. "I love you, Troy! Will you be here next year?"
"Yeah, I'll be here," Troy responds.
They take it even further. "I told that cheerleader that you liked her."
"OK, thank you!" Murph responds, flushing.
"And she said she'll think about it."
"Oh, perfect. Thank you!"
Not that the whole thing is for the kids. Let's go to 2, as in double-doubles, something Troy Murphy gets a hell of a lot of. Not the crazy, KG-like 35 and 22s, but the strong, steady numbers: 19 and 11, 10 and 17, 21 and 10. Blue-collar digits for the blue-collar player. "The great thing about Troy is that you know what you're gonna get every night out," Derek Fisher says. "When you get the stat sheet at the end of the game, unless he just had a bad night, he's gonna have 16 points and 12 rebounds. And you can't compare him to guys like Shaq and Ben Wallace and all these other big guys, but... the great thing about this League is when you have guys where you know what you're gonna get out of them every night. That's a real pro, and Murph's a pro."
What real pros do is get better every year, and Murph has done that. His second season, thanks largely to 20 added pounds of muscle, he was the only player in the League to improve his scoring and rebounding by 5-plus a game. That season he averaged his first double-double (11.7 and 10.2). His third season was marred by injury, as he only played in 28 games in '03-04. In Year Four, he added a deadly trey to his arsenal (we'll get to that momentarily) and averaged another double-double, 15.4 and 10.8 per. This year, he's bringing it all together. "He's doing a lot of little things that in the past maybe he wouldn't have done," says coach Mike Montgomery. "He's running to screens, he's moving the ball - in fact, I talked to him after the game last night and he just seemed so much happier. He's got a little bounce in his step and he just seems to enjoy playing."
He seems to enjoy just about everything these days, which is exactly right for a 25-year-old entering his prime with a set-for-life contract and a team of young stars. He spends his summers in New York City and his money on not much (his concession to the dress code is a suit jacket over his Led Zeppelin t-shirt). And you want to know how much he enjoys the game? After a hard day of playing basketball, he just wants to go home... and watch basketball. "The best thing is, we get done with practice, and then the games start at four, so I get something to eat and go home and the games are on," he says. "It's great."
It's that love of the game that has driven him, ever since he starred at North Jersey's Delbarton High. That's where John MacLeod, then head coach at Notre Dame and now a Golden State assistant, first saw Murphy play. Once in South Bend, he took his natural talent and worked at it: by the time he was done, he was a two-time Big East Player of the Year. "It wasn't unusual for him to be out there at 1:30 or 2 in the morning working on his shot," MacLeod recalls. "He worked out some kind of deal with the security people at the arena where they knew this was Murph, and Murph would come in late at night and shoot."
It all paid off. And those late-night sessions bring us to three, for three-pointers. Murph took all of 40 of them (connecting on 11) in his first three NBA seasons combined. Then, last season, he went nuts. Took 148, hit 59. That's 40 percent, folks, which, while it wont give Steve Kerr any nightmares, was the same percentage hit by Dirk Nowitski. "Hopefully these guys that are inside, back-to-the-basket guys, they still gotta come out and chase me around," Murph says. "That's the idea."
It's an idea his teammates can get with. "You got a big guy that steps out," JRich says, "and he's not clogging up the middle, and guys that drive like me and Baron, it frees us up to get to the basket." Baron, often the dime behind the trey, co-signs. "He really stretches the defense, man. He's been working on his shot as well as his post-up game, and I'm just glad to have him, because it takes a lot of pressure off me."
It's easier for Murph, too. He can get that shot off without much space - keep in mind, he's a 6-11, 245-pound lefty - but every inch of room still counts. "When I spread the defense, it's a lot like having somebody run at you when you're shooting at 18, 19 feet, and then when you're behind the three-point line you can really space it out."
Let's move on to four. That would be Murph's position, power forward, which he plays quite well, thank you very much. There's been a lot made of the Warriors needing more toughness inside - both by the local media and the coaching staff - and Murphy's had quite enough of that. The question is raised one time too many after practice, and the response is quick: "If we continue to win, I don't care if we have an inside presence, an outside presence - I don't care if we have a presence."
He's right, you know. The Warriors started out 11-6, and more than that, Troy's been rebounding, averaging 8.3 rpg through the first month of this season. Isn't anyone keeping track? "I just don't understand sometimes when people say, 'We need this,' 'We need that,'" Murph says, "And I understand we need a guy you can throw the ball to at the end of the game and get fouls and things like that, but if you want rebounds, two out of the last three years I've been in the top five [in the League]. I mean, sometimes I just get frustrated with some of the things they come out and say."
To end, let's skip five (and a few others) and jump straight to 58 million. That's the amount he got in an extension he signed in 2004. There are a lot of people who can't believe Troy Murphy is earning nearly $60 mil to play basketball (just check the Warrior message boards), and Murph is one of them. "If you told me 15 years ago that I'd be doing this," he says, "I'd think you were lyin'."
But this really has nothing to do with the extension itself - like the Bobby Sura tale, it's just a good story about why he hasn't spent it yet. Listen.
"It just happened that I signed the extension, and then the next day we started playing, and I played all right that game. And the next game I went like 2 for 15 and got booed out of the place. So I called up my AAU coach, and he said, 'Save every penny,' Murphy says. "So I said, screw it, you know?" (S)

More summer fun and some preps for the school year...
2 comments:
I am very impressed with all the thought you put into your projects and the careful exectuion of each one, like the matching hard backing to all the photos in the boxes, etc.ReplyDelete
How do you have time?
When do you research and make these projects?
When do you run to the store to get supplies?
I discover that with a lot of porjects I am considering, I realize that if I don't have supplies at home to execute it, the thought of going to a craft store for just those few ingredients with 3 kids and then cleaning up the mess make it not worth it.
What's your secret?
Oh, I wish I had a secret!ReplyDelete
But I can tell you that I don't run out to the store to buy things whenever I need them- and I am also Montessori certified for Primary age kids which has taught me so much!
That being said, the color coding is Montessori- and look around your house, you would be shocked to see how many things you can use. Before I bought a laminater ($18 from Costco) I used to use packing tape to laminate things! Go on Pinterest, there are so many great ideas of how to DIY without running to the store when you need things! And save magazines, brochures etc.
Good Luck!

Brad Paisley Gives a New Name to 2012 Tour
Over the holidays, Brad Paisley realized that his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tour name, the Cowabunga! Tour, was a smidgen outdated. So, with the dawning of 2012, it was out with the old and in with the new! Paisley will embark on his freshly-named Virtual Reality World Tour on Jan. 12.
The 'Water' hitmaker's light bulb went off while he was rehearsing for the upcoming shows in December. "When you see plans and sketches on paper it's one thing, but to actually see it in real life is something else, and that's what happened to me when we were in tour rehearsals," Paisley said in a statement on his official website. "When I saw the visuals and how exciting and sometimes mind-blowing they were, I just felt the tour name needed to reflect what the fans were going to see."
"For two hours each night of the tour they can be taken away from reality — literally," he added. That's certainly a big promotion to live up to, but we have no doubt that the tour will be unlike anything Paisley has ever done before — especially given the all-star opening lineup of Scotty McCreery and the Band Perry.
Last month, Paisley teased his road show by calling the then-Cowabunga! Tour a "high-tech redneck" production, which certainly piqued our interest. "We've got some cool technology. I like to take technology to where people walk out not sure how we did certain things. That's always a goal of mine," he said. "We've got a few of those in our bag of tricks. I got to see them the other day for the first time, and I was floored."

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - MIT water polo was defeated by No. 12 Brown, 12-9, on the road on Friday night after a very close game. Junior Craig Cheney (Sherwood, Ore.) scored the first goal of the game just 30 seconds into the first period, giving the Engineers a quick lead over the Bears. By the end of the first eight minutes, however, Brown had turned the game around, giving it a 3-1 advantage going into the second period.
Brown's Henry Fox scored the lone goal of the second period, extending the Bears' lead to 4-1. Control of the game shifted, though, when freshmen Kale Rogers (Newberg, Ore.) and Ory Tasman (Orlando, Fla.) scored two goals apiece within the first four minutes of the start of the third period. With 32 seconds left on the clock, sophomore Dylan Hallman (La Jolla, Calif.) scored one last goal, tying the game at 6-6 heading into the final period.
The Bears played aggressively in the remaining eight minutes, netting six goals compared to MIT's three, which were scored by Cheney, Rogers and junior Scott Stephens (Los Altos, Calif.). The game ended with the Bears being victorious, 12-9.
MIT returns to the pool on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 5:00 p.m. when it faces Connecticut College for the third time in the past three weeks.

I went to the chuck wagon races in Clinton Ar. this year was my first time to attend them. Does anyone else go to them?
It was not really my thing but there was a lot of people there so people must like them. Might be more fun to camp out and be there all week. I only went for one day

Many moons ago, I was in to them. The crowd at those (not necessarily Clinton, cause I've never been), can be a little rough. We have 2 in Western KY, that draw big crowds.

Re: Clinton Chuckwagon Races
I have friends that go but I've never been personally. I've always been told there's two main campsites. One for the party crowd and one for the other folks just wanting to camp out and have a good time. It's a pretty big deal here and most anybody you walk up to on the street knows about the chuckwagon races.

Re: Clinton Chuckwagon Races
I am not a party person so I would have to stay with the ''camp out and have a good time crowd'' for sure. I just don't like to see any sport that they put the welfare of their horses /mules in danger just to say they won. Seen way to many crashes where the team or outrider were knocked to the ground and had to be un harnessed and helped up or even put in a trailer and taken off.

Re: Clinton Chuckwagon Races
I have several friends that go and run at Clinton, but we do not personally go. When Charlotte, Arkansas hosted a race one year we went, but only because we were running a BBQ concession stand. That was crazy enough for us. A lot of the same people that go to Clinton came to it.

Re: Clinton Chuckwagon Races
I worked with a guy that ran in it every year until about two years ago. I think they got asked to not come back due to different things. He ran chuck wagon and his sister ran the little wagons and ponies, and his dad ran ponies also. Another I worked with was also in it. I think they both were at the top when I worked with them last about 3 years ago. It looked like a big party to me so I never went while I was working up there.

TAMPA, FLa.—The Barry Buccaneers dropped the series finale to the seventh-ranked Tampa Spartans 4-3 on Sunday morning at Vince Naimoli Family Stadium.
The Bucs (21-11, 9-3 SSC) jumped out to a 3-1 lead after four innings. In the second, the Bucs loaded the bases with two outs and Alexis Kent drove in Britney Pugh with a single to left, but were unable to get anymore.
In the fourth inning, Pugh walked to lead off and Kelly Martinez drove in pinch runner Kate Hehre with a double to right center. Kent, again, drove in a run with a perfect squeeze bunt to plate Martinez.
But trailing 3-1 in the fifth, the Spartans (19-8, 7-5 SSC) loaded the bases with two outs as Kayleen Boatwright singled, Katie Bannon reached on a throwing error and Megan Burke walked. Stacey Piagno drove in two with a single to right and Burke came across on another throwing error.
Kayla Cox (14-4) sat the Bucs down in order in the sixth and seventh to preserve the lead. Cox struck out five, a season-low, and allowed three earned runs in a seven-inning game for the first time in her career.
Camille Czarnecki (5-3) took the loss for the Bucs, despite allowing just one earned run.
The Bucs return home to host the 10th-ranked Rollins Tars on Thursday and Friday.

Each bollard is supplied complete with a removable internal mounting base as standard, which can be attached to expanding achor bolts, root mounting J-Bolts, or mounted onto any flat surface. Alternatively, a Professional Root Mounting System is available.
A clear, UV stop polycarbonate diffuser surrounds the centre section of the head (spares available) and silver aluminium internal louvres add character to the bollard as well as acting as anti-glare shields / protecting the LED bulb. The head and 2.5mm thick extruded aluminium cylinder of the bollard light are created from heavy duty die-cast aluminium, and all external screws are allen (socket) type made from stainless steel, resulting in a completely rustproof and non-corrosive product.
Choosing the style of a product is only part of the equation you must also think of where that product will be used and how it will be installed. All exterior lighting products on our web site have a IP rating which is explained further in our design ideas section but in simple terms the IP rating is appropriate to each light fitting and its intended application and is therefore fit for purpose. Water ingress is the enemy for outdoor lighting and the products supplied are only as good as the installation as the weakest point is always cable joints. All joint must be made 100% water tight and this can be done using heat shrink kits, waterproof junction boxes which are then filled with a resin or magic gel mix. All joints where possible should be made above ground for easy access and reduced water ingress. When installing ground buried lights adequate drainage systems should be put in place especially in clay based soil areas.
The colour of a lamp is defined as a measurement called kelvins. A standard GLS light bulb in your house would be 2,700 kelvins
which is in the warm colour spectrum and a lamp with 5,000 kelvins would be at the very cold white spectrum. Getting
the right colour temperature of a lamp does matter as the warm colour wavelength helps to soften the tone of the area
and gives a warm soft relaxed feel and ideal for colourful flower beds and rockery areas especially with wooden bark
and at the other end of the scale a 4,000 to 5,000 kelvin lamp colour would be used against a light background such as
white walls or to accentuate grey blueish foliage in shrubs and small trees. When you buy a new, energy efficient
bulb, keep your application and colour scheme in mind and make sure to buy the bulb with a colour temperature to match.
The amount of light that is produced by a lamp is called lumen's and the more lumen's the lamp has the brighter it will be. Lumen's work in conjunction with kelvins and should not be taken in isolation of each other, for example if you had a very warm white lamp at 2,700 kelvins and it produced 300 lumen's and you then had another lamp which was a cool white 5,000 kelvins which also produced 300 lumen's the cooler lamp colour would always appear brighter to the naked eye than the warmer one this is due to the receptors in the eye that react better to a white light spectrum. Another factor on how bright a light may appear is contrast so if you shine a white 5,000 kelvin light onto a dark wall and a warm 2,700 kelvin lamp onto a white wall the warmer lamp would appear brighter due to the contrast of the material it is focused on. So when choosing a lamp always take into account the area you want to illuminate and think about Kelvins ( colour ), Lumen's ( brightness) and contrast ( colour of area).

Volunteer since:
All the ways I contribute to WTIP…
I'm the creator and voice of "Sunny's Backyard" on Lake County Journal.
Why I volunteer with WTIP…
I volunteer because WTIP is the voice of all of our lives in the Arrowhead. We are lucky to have such a great community radio station that can be heard far up into the woods. I am grateful to be a part of WTIP, of Lake County Journal – and grateful that Martha does all the work to make the program happen.
Fun fact…
Sunny lives off the grid in the woods of Lake County and spends time observing nature, usually in a state of awe. Other hats Sunny attempts to wear are dog musher, musician, gardener, and watercolor artist.
