14 miles total
10:00 am) 30's sunny
20k race 1:19:59 6:32 average per mile
5th Place Overall. Finished 2nd in the series.
Took past 2 days off. First time I have done that in ages. Wanted to be somewhat fresh
for this race. Plus I'm tapering for next Sunday's marathon. Today's race was at Black
Forest, CO. The course is on rolling roads and is at 7500 ft altitude. I forgot how
hard this course was. I did the short version last year 10k. I have difficulties breathing
at 7500 ft. Not that 6,000 ft is easy but the extra 1500 ft makes a difference for me.
I felt winded early on in the race. My breathing settled down after 4 miles or so.
I passed a couple runners during the race and got passed right at the finish line. He
had more of a kick than me. I guess that's what you get when your 19 years old. You can
see by my splits that my last .44 was all out sprint on tired legs.

Severe Winter Weather Closes Schools, State Offices [AUDIO]
A winter storm continued to dump more than a foot of snow on some parts of New Jersey Tuesday night, grounding thousands of flights, causing hundreds of motor vehicle accidents and leading to the closure of schools and state offices.
The New Jersey Office of Emergency Management tweeted that state offices will be closed Wednesday, but all essential employees will still be required to report to work.
This latest snowstorm and more frigid temperatures have winter wearing thin on many New Jersey residents.
With up to a foot or more of precipitation predicted in some spots, residents are once again reaching for their shovels. The snow is expected to be followed by another bout of severe cold temperatures, with the wind chill making it feel like minus-10 degrees Wednesday morning. As of Tuesday night, Manalapan Township in Monmouth County already saw snow totals up to 15 inches as of 9:30 p.m., according to NJ.com.
The entire state is under a Winter Storm Warning through 6 a.m. Wednesday as snow overspreads the area along with high winds that will make travel difficult.
Roads were near gridlock with slow traffic on snow covered roads just before the evening rush hour Tuesday. New Jersey State Police tweeted that they have had 238 reported accidents and 354 motorist aids by 4 p.m. in their patrol areas. In addition, the NJ DOT has requested that State Police tow any abandoned cars off the interstates and state roads until noon on Tuesday.
Governor Christie declared a state of emergency early Tuesday afternoon to allow for easier co-ordination for snow removal. "I encourage all New Jerseyans to stay off the roads if possible so that our first responders and public safety officials can safely respond to any emergency situations," he added in the declaration.
In some areas of intense snow there could be "thundersnow" with lightning and thunder.
A number of schools will release students early from classes today as the snow begins to pick up in intensity. Schools may also close on Wednesday or open later.
The speed on the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway has been reduced to 35 MPH for the entire length of both roadways.
After several hours of snow, New Jersey Fast Traffic reported numerous accidents on all of New Jersey's highways including a jackknifed tractor trailer that closed Interstate 78 westbound at I-287. A disabled truck also closed the ramp from I-195 west to I-295 south for a time.
Earlier this evening, a charter bus crashed down an embankment on I-80 in Roxbury Township, ABC News reported. There were three people on the bus at the time of the crash, and none of the injuries were listed as life-threatening.
New Jersey Department of Transportation spokesman Steve Schapiro told the Star-Ledger that all available equipment had been deployed.
New Jersey Transit will cross-honor tickets system-wide on buses, light rail and trains again on Wednesday and operate on an enhanced weekend schedule except for the Atlantic City Line.
Amtrak's Northeast Corridor will operate on a modified schedule on Wednesday between Boston and Washington while Acela service will operate at reduced frequencies according to their website.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is prepared with extra staff working longer shifts to keep its facilities running through the storm according to a press release.
Nearly 3,000 flights Tuesday were canceled, with airports from Washington to Boston affected. An additional 885 flights for Wednesday were called off as well.
Southwest Airlines will suspend operations at Philadelphia International Airport as of 3 p.m. on Tuesday according to 6 ABC.
The storm at a glance:
- Light snow moves in around late Tuesday morning
- Periods of moderate to heavy snow move in late afternoon, lasting through the first half of Tuesday night.
- Snow tapers off Wednesday morning.
Snow Amounts:
- 10+ inches in central & south Jersey along the Route 1 corridor in Middlesex, Mercer, Monmouth, Ocean, Burlington, Camden, Salem and Gloucester
- 8-10 inches in southern Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland counties as well as Somerset, Hunterdon and Morris counties
- 6-8 inches for north Jersey
Winds & Wind Chill
A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect on Wednesday morning from 1 a.m. to 11 a.m.
- Tues: northeast winds15-25 MPH with gusts of 35-40 MPH changing to north and northwest early Wednesday morning
- Temperatures in the teens and 20s today drop to the single digits tonight making for a wind chill of -10.
Whether it's paying a neighborhood child to clean off your walkway or doing the shoveling yourself, the brutal winter is also hitting people's wallets.
"Lots of rock salt, paying a lot of money for that," said a Toms River father of two, whose heating bill was up an additional $200 from last month's cold snap.
- Get Alan Kasper's latest storm forecast
With temperatures dipping down into the teens, the man's children can't play outside for long.
"They're playing inside, going to Chuck E. Cheese, stuff like that," he said.
Costs are starting to add up for many people.
"I don't how I'm going to pay for it, I really don't, and my house is cold," another man said.
However, some are trying to be optimistic and enjoy the winter.
"It's give or take," said a Toms River resident. "I'll go snowboarding if it snows."
Another woman from the same town said she likes having different seasons, and reminds us that it could always be much worse.
"It's winter, what are you going to do?" the woman said. "Look at Wisconsin, they have feet and feet of it, so I don't think we should complain too much."

A new approach to stimulate Learning processes
Game Based Learning
Why using computer based techniques in higher education?
According to Michael and Chen (Michael & Chen, op. 2006), "Serious Games offer a new mechanism for teaching and training by combining video games with education. Serious Games can extend the value of training films and books by allowing the player to not only learn, but also to demonstrate and apply what he or she has learned"
When talking about learning paradigm we talk about lots of sources that "require (and foster) a level of cognitive application from the user that far exceeds reading text and then regurgitating facts.
Gamers analyse huge quantities of information from a variety of sources. Games encourage, for example, problem solving, creative thinking, lateral thinking, investigation and trial and error, all of which are valuable in the workplace. ", as Corti wrote in (Corti, 2006).
In the blog "Ten reasons why game based learning works in education" at (Connected – Fluent in Multimedia learning, 2012) the author reports that "Students are already familiar with many of the devices" used to deliver games like "iPads, iPhones, PSPs" and so on.
According to a Nielsen survey in January 2012 among U.S. citizens (n=20.000) (Nilsonwire, 2012) 80% of the 18-34 aged subjects which buy a mobile device in the last 3 months, did buy a smartphone – 64% of all subjects do have smart phones at all. This is exactly the age-group which is relevant for higher education.
The most important reason for using computer based techniques in education is that there is a huge amount of already available (and free of charge) content stored in the world wide web:
"Educational apps abound and it's now really easy to create your own multimedia educational content for use on everything from language labs to macs, pcs and ipads. The internet is stuffed full of free resources to help bring content to life", (Connected – Fluent in Multimedia learning, 2012)
They also write that "Game based learning techniques are not just restricted to inside the classroom. Teachers report bringing class sets of PlayStation Portables out on field trips to make video diaries. Robust and durable these new technologies mean educational content can still be accessed on the move."
Game based Learning and Serious Games
According to Corti (Corti, 2006) some of the key potential benefits of Game based learning are performance improvement, competency testing and best practice.
He also pointed out in (Corti, 2006) that "it is important to remember that games need not be a solitary, i.e. 'singleplayer', experience! Some of the world's most popular entertainment games are multiplayer games where players team up to work together. This brings about interesting opportunities for providing social learning environments such as, for example, around team dynamics."

"I've never been in the Shell SuperRigs contest before and I always wanted to see if I could make it into the calendar – and I figured if I never go to one, I'll never get that chance. So here I am." –Kirby Martin, owner-operator out of Gettysburg, PA
I spent some time this week covering the 28th annual Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition at the Lee Hi Travel Plaza outside of Lexington, VA – truly a stunning spot for a truck stop if I've ever seen one.
Trucks large and small flocked to Lee Hi's picturesque location from all over the map – one even from North Dakota! – to compete for cash and prizes valued at approximately $25,000. Also, 12 of them would also get selected to have their truck featured in the 2011 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar.
Vehicles entered into the SuperRigs are judged by members of the trucking media and score the rigs on exterior appearance, design, detail/finish, originality, and workmanship. In total, 25 working trucks receive awards for categories such as best of show, tractor, tractor-trailer combination and classic categories.
Along with the above categories, awards will also be given in specialized categories such as "Best Chrome," "Best Theme," "Best Mural," "Best Lights," "People's Choice" and others. The "Best Lights" judging will be held at dark on day two of the event (June 11), and the "People's Choice" award will be voted on throughout this year's three -day event (running from June 10-12) by all contestants and spectators.
[Want to know what the judges are looking for? Watch the clip below as Eric Harley, host of the Midnight Trucking Radio Show on WBAP, gave me a quick tour on one contestant's vehicle to give some insight into what catches his eye as he judges rigs.]
Shell's SuperRigs contest, by the way, is free to all participants, with every entrant receiving a gift package consisting of: one gallon of Shell Rotella T Triple Protection engine oil; one gallon of Shell Rotella ELC Extended Life Coolant; a single application tube of Shell Retinax Fifth Wheel Grease; Shell Rotella SuperRigs t-shirt and hat; a 2010 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar; and a package of Rain-X wiper blades.
But of course, truckers don't do things in half measures – and the contestants in this annual competition serve as a prime example. For starters, all them spent countless dollars and hours putting together extraordinary vehicles, then spent days cleaning and polishing them to a high degree.
[You can see some of the design work that went into these trucks – as well as the backbreaking hours of cleaning and polish preparations – in the clip below.]
Shell turns the yearly SuperRigs locations into a huge "country fair" of sorts, as well, bringing in carnival rides, hot air balloon rides and drive-in movies (this year featuring that trucking classic, Smokey and the Bandit), plus free nightly concerts, which included bluegrass band Nothin' Fancy 70's show band Right On Band; and the country music of Burns & Poe at the 2010 event.
To top it all off, Shell organized a parade through downtown Lexington with some of the competing trucks as well as antique vehicles, capped by a fireworks show will kick off the big rig light contest.
Shell also brought its one-of-a-kind "Rotella Road Show" tractor-trailer to the SuperRigs contest, to highlight diesel engine systems and the lubricants that protect them.
[Below is a video tour of the "Roadshow" big rig.]
The father and son racing team Larry & Adam Koester from the National Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA) were on hand, too, showing off their unique "mini-modified" racing tractors that crank out (and I am not kidding) 2,700 horsepower.
Sponsored by Shell, Larry (in the wheelchair on the left) and Adam each have an NTPA championship under their belts (Larry actually has three of them) and they gearing up to try and get another this year.
[You'll read more about Larry and how a life-threatening farm tractor accident over 20 years ago made him into the NTPA champion he is today in a post next week. Trust me; it's a story worth waiting for.]
Probably the most interesting thing about SuperRigs, when all is said and done, is the camaraderie among the "competitors."
Kirby Martin, an owner-operator out of Gettysburg, PA, told me that while he loves showing his truck off, these contests allow him to catch up with other drivers and their families – people he rarely gets to see.
"It's like a family reunion in a way," he told me. "I don't get to see them unless I go to a show. And this year my family and I are making a 'summer vacation' out of it, staying here in a camper for the weekend to enjoy the carnival and other stuff."
It's that kind of atmosphere that makes SuperRigs a special occasion for all of the drivers involved, regardless of whether they win a prize or calendar photo shoot.

Difference between revisions of "Wikitravel:Hebrew Wikitravel Expedition"
Revision as of 09:33, 3 November 2005
The Hebrew Wikitravel Expedition is an expedition to create a Hebrew language version of Wikitravel which would effectively be the third multilingual version of Wikitravel.
For more information on Multilingual Wikitravel Policy, please see Wikitravel:Language version policy.
Israelis speak Hebrew as their mother tongue, and many find it difficult to read and write in English. Since there is an extraordinary number of Israeli backpackers all over the world, Hebrew speakers can share a vast amount of knowledge. Many Israeli travellers set up their own sites to share their knowledge and tips. A travel guide in Hebrew will make the information more accessible while allowing everyone to contribute.
The Hebrew Wikitravel has the following goals:
See also Wikitravel:Language version policy for more information about the procedure of forming a Hebrew Wikitravel.
Gathering a team of users
To get this project started, we need at least 5 Hebrew-speaking users willing to contribute to Hebrew Wikitravel.
If you support this project, please log in (see How to create a user account -- it's really quick) and then add your name below, by choosing edit this page.
I agree to forming the Hebrew Wikitravel and am willing to contribute: (to sign just type 4 time ~ below)
Next Steps
The interface localization file has to be translated (or modified from the one on Wikipedia), checked for correctness, and then we will vote for a go-between.
LanguageHe.php is for creating this collaboratively. It's started with the Wikipedia language interface file, but it needs to be changed to match Wikitravel.
For comparison, the English file is at Wikitravel:LanguageEn.php. Major things to watch for:
Choosing a go-between
In order to make a successful, integrated Hebrew Wikitravel, we need to choose one of the five users who put their names down, and make them a go-between. The role of the go-between will be to act as a liaison between English and Hebrew Wikipedia, and therefore, he must be able to:
The go-between will be chosen the democratic way: via voting
The candidates for go-between will be the users willing to contribute. To win, a go-between must have two votes for them, and no votes against them. Only people who nominated themselves under the "Gathering a team" section can vote. And remember, you cannot vote for yourself.
Awareness Raising
If you find this idea compelling, you are welcome to notify your friends, write about it in forums etc...
If will also be nice if someone translate this page into Hebrew and put it on his site (with a link to here and from here).

text: LOS ANGELES (AP) A state appeals court has upheld the second-degree murder conviction of a Southern California chef who claimed he cooked his wife's body in boiling water.City News Service reports that a court panel on Wednesday rejected a claim that there was insufficient evidence to convict David Viens.The chef is serving 15 years to life for the 2009 killing of his wife, Dawn.Viens told investigators that during an argument, he bound and gagged his wife with duct tape, fell asleep and woke up to find her dead. Viens said he boiled her body for four days and dumped the remains in the trash. Her body was never found.However, Viens later denied cooking his wife and said he'd just had surgery and was hallucinating when he spoke to detectives.

Psapp | WIG228 | Released: 27/10/08
The third album from our dynamic duo Carim Clasmann and Galia Durant is called The Camel's Back, because it was nearly the straw that broke it.
Psapp have been perfecting their art of highs and lows and all the fun in between for six years now. After a few low-key releases they unleashed their debut Tiger My Friend on cult label Arable before graduating to Domino to release their second long player The Only Thing I Ever Wanted.
This was the album that caused all the fun and games – its blend of homemade electronics, meticulously scored elastic bands and heartfelt pop struck a chord with all who heard it because it was life changing in the most marvellous and thrilling way.
But when your musical dreams are being fulfilled, when you tour the world, when you can give up your job and hear your music trickling out of cinemas or the telly it can be pretty strange.
This all happened to Psapp.
With everything the pair turn their hand to, they never quite know when to stop. So when joyous hysteria and an unending party resulted in equally huge comedowns they were left exhausted, confused and a little broken by it all.
Slowly though, Galia and Carim returned to what they knew was true and magic, and away from the dizziness of life they retreated to their studio to start making sense of all that had happened. The result is their most starkly beautiful album to date.
In it you will find an array of monsters, ants and heartbreak, philosophy and folly all wrapped up in glorious production, odd noises and a heightened sense of purpose. There is a real sense of triumph over adversity and whisper it…maturity… about proceedings.
Album opener "I Want That" showcases this development, bursting with enthusiasm and brassy squawks while "The Monster Song" is a hugely catchy pop number, life affirming and vast - if Psapp was a Sunday afternoon film this would be the moment when the sun came out and everyone danced in glorious Technicolor.
But try listening to "Screws" or title track "The Camel's Back" without getting swept up in an intimacy that is almost claustrophobic in its honesty.
The band has a song called "Somewhere There Is A Record Of Our Actions". This sentiment may be true, but it is doubtful that all of them would be as beautiful and insightful as the one left by Psapp.

1.8 Diesel Escort Van Wont Cold Start
vattie posted a topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsHi All. My 2002 (52 plate) Escort Van has become a right pig to start from cold. I have renewed the glow plugs, and have checked the power going to them, so its definately not a "heat" problem, so im guessing (from reading up on the subject on many forum threads) that it is possible that the diesel is going back to the tank? meaning an airleak of some sort?. To try and justified this i took the air intake off one morning and dropped a spoonful of diesel down each pot, put the air intake back on, turned the key, heated the plugs and hey presto it fired straight away, albeit didnt run as it only had the spoonful of diesel to burn, which would strenghten my case that the diesel is running back? Today i have renewed the primer pump on the fuel filter, as i read that these can sometimes leak air, but i still have the problem?......any suggestions? I have also changed the fuel line between the primer pump and the injector pump as both fittings didnt seem that "tight", but that still hasnt cured it. I have noticed that one of the diesel injectors has a leak, could that cause the fuel to creep back??? It seems that i am running out of "cheap" options. The pump timing has been checked, could it be the pump itself? but it does run ok once started, abeit a bit smokey these days (bluey/whitey smoke...related?) Like i say, i am running out of ideas, would be greatful if anyone could shed some light as to what else i could try. Someone did say there was a "shut off valve" on the pump that sometimes sticks??......couldnt see it (but didnt really know what i was looking for :)) Thanks in advance Vattie

How to dual-boot Vista with XP (with XP installed first) – step-by-step guide with screenshots
How to dual-boot Vista with XP (with XP installed first) – step-by-step guide with screenshots
Want to install Vista on your PC but don't want to get rid of XP just yet? Here's how to install it so you can dual-boot between them in an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide.
Page 1 – Intro
Scenario: You want to install Vista on your PC alongside your XP installation on the same drive. You have already installed XP. (If you installed Vista first see our other tutorial on How to dual-boot Vista and XP – with Vista installed first.)
Tutorial Summary: We're going to shrink the Windows XP partition on the hard disk and create enough space for an installation of Vista. There are two easy methods of doing this – using the GPartEd Live CD and the DISKPART utility on the Vista DVD. On some systems depending on the primary storage controller We'll then install Vista and use the EasyBCD utility to modify Vista's bootloader to get XP loading properly.
Updated September 2008: This is an updated tutorialbased on our first Windows XP/Vista dual-booting workshop. The main differences are that we are now using Windows Vista SP1 Windows XP SP3 and the latest version of EasyBCD.
This tutorial was tested on a VMWare Workstation 6 virtual machine.
[#PAGE-BREAK#Get Started – Using GParted#]
Page 2 – Get Started – Using GParted
We assume that before you start this tutorial you have backed up the drive (partitions and data) that will host the two operating systems.
Your first step will be to modify the Windows XP system partition to make space for Vista using GParted
The GParted Live CD ISO is available here â burn it to CD and boot the system from the disc. The version we used was 0.3.7-7.
When you boot from the GParted LiveCD depending on your system you should just need to select the auto-configuration boot option.
During boot press Enter twice when prompted to select the keymap and language settings.
When the main GUI loads right-click on the main Windows XP NTFS partition (depending on your setup probably /dev/hda1) and select Resize/Move.
Use the slider to reduce the partition size and free up enough room to install Vista (at least 10GB) and click Resize/Move.
The changes haven't actually been made they've just been scheduled to run. To commit the changes and resize the partition click Apply. GParted will ask to confirm the changes â hit OK and away you go.
[#PAGE-BREAK#Get Started – Using DISKPART#]
Page 3 – Get Started – Using DISKPART
Boot the machine from the Vista DVD. Select the appropriate language and then "Install Now".
On the product key page press SHIFT + F10 to launch a Windows PE 2.0 command window. Then type in DISKPART and press enter to get into the DISKPART utility.
Now type in LIST VOLUME – this gives you a readout of the volumes available on the system. Select the main Windows XP volume by typing in SELECT VOLUME 0 (in most cases it will be Volume 0 – in our lab in was Volume 1).
Now type in SHRINK. Vista will reduce the size the selected Volume by around 50%.
[#PAGE-BREAK#Now Install Vista#]
Page 4 – Now Install Vista
If you used the GParted LiveCD to shrink the XP partition you'll need to reboot the system from the Vista install DVD. If you've used DISKPART then you just need to continue the installation. Once the install gets to the install location there should be at least two options: a partition marked as Primary and unallocated space. Select the unallocated space and click Next. The install will then commence.
The Vista boot manager will take over the system completely and Windows XP effectively loads via Vista. It's all pretty seamless though and you shouldn't encounter any technical problems.
[#PAGE-BREAK#Modify Vista's Bootloader#]
Page 5 – Modify Vista's Bootloader
Once Vista is installed and the system reboots you'll be presented with a boot menu with two options: âMicrosoft Windows Vistaâ and "Earlier Version of Windowsâ.
This is perhaps a little bit bland so you'll probably want to change it. Here's where one of the new features of Vista comes in and it's not so terrific. In Windows XP if you want to modify the bootloader just right-click on My Computer select Properties go to the Advanced Tab and click Settings under Startup and Recovery then click Edit. This opens a local file â boot.ini. It's just a standard text file and you can change pretty much anything. Unfortunately it's not that easy in Vista â you can still navigate to the Startup and Recovery settings but all you can do is select which operating system is the default and modify the timeout settings.
To edit Vista's boot manager you have to use the command line BCDEDIT utility. To access BCDEDIT run the Command Window as an administrator and type in BCDEDIT.
Unfortunately BCDEDIT isn't an easy tool to come to terms with especially as it's purely command line-driven. So a great tool to use here is EasyBCD by NeoSmart Technologies. EasyBCD offers a GUI frontend to BCDEDIT and makes life much easier.
Once Vista is installed call up the browser and navigate to the EasyBCD download page – download the latest version (1.7.2 at the time of writing) install and launch the application.
To configure the bootloader go to âChange Settingsâ. Here you can change the default OS if you prefer to boot into XP first. Under "Entry-Based Settings" you'll see the field which refers to the the XP partition. Overwrite "Earlier Version of Windows" with "Windows XP" and click "Save Settings".
Reboot the system and the changes are visible. You have a dual-booting Vista and XP system. That's all there is to it.
Open up Windows Explorer and there's two hard drives â the primary disk running Vista and the secondary disk with XP installed. Restart the system and load up Windows XP and the XP disk is now the primary with the Vista partition running on the secondary D: drive
If you decide that dual-booting Vista and XP is not for you EasyBCD lets you wind back the clock.
All you have to do is remove Vista's boot manager â go to âManage Bootloaderâ select âUninstall the Vista Bootloaderâ and then âWrite MBRâ. Restart the machine and that's it â the XP boot loader is the only one left on the system and XP loads. You can then delete the Vista partition and use GParted to re-extend the partition to take up the entire disk or the Extend command in Vista DISKPART.

LAUREL HILL � Crestview High School boys basketball Coach Greg Watson hopes Tuesday's win over Laurel Hill School can serve as blueprint for success as the Bulldogs prepare for the district tournament in two weeks.
LAUREL HILL � Crestview High School boys basketball Coach Greg Watson hopes Tuesday's win over Laurel Hill School can serve as blueprint for success as the Bulldogs prepare for the district tournament in two weeks.
Time for soul searching
Laurel Hill School Coach Kent Zessin wants his team to do some soul searching about which direction the Hoboes should take as they finish the season.
And although they're preaching different messages to their teams, both coaches agreed that the 78-29 score could serve a springboard to the playoffs.
"I thought defensively we did a really good job in the first half for the most part of making them shoot contested shots," Watson said. "And then right there in the third quarter we just shot the crap out of it. Ronnie (Baylark) hit three or four in a row and got his confidence going and it seemed like that got the other guys' confidence going.
"That was big for us. Hopefully, they will have more confidence on offense, which I have been trying to preach. Share the ball, move the ball, it's a simple game."
Zessin, on the other hand, was simply searching for answers.
"I thought my guys mentally and physically would have done a little better job with them," he said. Mentally, we didn't come in here focused and we've got to do a better job than that.
"We are in a spot where we have to decide which way we want to go. We are going to have to step it up because we do have a team that is capable of winning district and going far in the playoffs. If we want to go a long way (in the playoffs) we have to shake this one off and go back to work."
For the most part, the game between Class 7A Crestview and 1A Laurel Hill went as expected.
The Bulldogs (17-4) simply had too much fire power for the Hoboes (15-6).
Crestview took the early lead on baskets by Denzel Ware and Jerry Aaron. Laurel Hill answered with buckets by Lane Strickland and Max Smith.
The score was tied at 4-4 three minutes into the game. When the first quarter ended five minutes later, Crestview was up 18-7 and well on the way to the win.
Baylark's first basket of the game with 4:38 left in the first quarter put the Bulldogs up for good.
Baylark scored eight of his game-high 25 points in the first quarter. Aaron added six points as the Bulldogs stretched the lead to 18-4.
A long Chris Saylor 3-pointer at the horn for Laurel Hill closed Crestview's lead to 18-7.
Scored continued to be hard to come by for the Hoboes in the second quarter as Tee Calloway scored four of the eight Hobo points in the period.
Five Bulldogs scored in the second quarter as Crestview pushed the lead to 35-15 at the half.
With 6:46 left in the third quarter Strickland scored his last basket off the night for the Hoboes and Laurel Hill trailed 40-19. Seemingly on cue, the Bulldog offense erupted.
Ware sparked a 19-2 Crestview run with a 3-point play. Tay King hit a pair 3-pointers around a basket by Josh Hartzog score for Laurel Hill.
The Bulldogs hit seven 3-pointers in the third quarter's final five minutes. Baylark hit three of the 3-pointers. He was fouled on his last 3-pointer and stepped to the line to sink a free throw for the 4-point play.
With 2:39 left in the third, the Bulldogs were up 59-21 and the rest of the game was played with the running clock.
Baylark was followed in scoring for the Bulldogs by Aaron with 13 points and Ware with seven points. Marcel Moorer and King each had six points for Crestview.
Strickland topped the Hoboes with eight points. T.J. White scored seven and Calloway six.

"A New Formation: Ino–Shika–Chō!" (炸裂!ニューフォーメーションいのシカチョウ, Sakuretsu! Nyū Fōmēshon Ino–Shika–Chō) is episode 145 of the original Naruto anime.
Team 10 tells Naruto that they will take care of the brothers, and use their combined skills to immobilise them. Naruto leaves to catch up to Iruka, who is fighting Mizuki in a building used to test Academy instructors. It is revealed that Iruka and Mizuki are childhood friends, although Mizuki only hoped to get close to the Hokage. Mizuki reveals that he has become stronger and learned new techniques while in prison. Meanwhile Ino, Shikamaru and Chōji form a new formation. Mizuki sets exploding tags on the buidling and blows it up with Iruka inside.
- There is some inconsistency in this episode concerning Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Technique, as Ino takes control of Raijin and punches Fūjin with Shikamaru being left unaffected (it is previously stated as Shikamaru has control of Gaara and Naruto punches Gaara in the face that punching Gaara while Shikamaru has hold of him with the shadow position will also affect him).

NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Alex McPhee is back again, this time taking a look at the top 13 Seattle Mariners players of all time. The top of this list is a no-brainer, as are a lot of the other ones, but the one that may surprise many of you could be the first player on this list. Though Alex has a great point for including him, his stat line. Read this piece immediately, and argue your points for why your favorite Mariners isn't included in the comments below.
Who are the best Mariners of all-time?
*My* reasons to love Ichiro Suzuki's time with the Seattle Mariners
NWSB Insider and Seattle sports writer Brandon Choate brings us a look back at history. Ichiro Suzuki joined the Seattle Mariners in 2001 and set the bar high immediately. After several All-Star appearances, Gold Gloves, and silver Sluggers, the 2-time MVP is packing his bags and heading to the Big Apple. Ichiro's accolades and play brought him and Seattle lots of attention.

Millions of unemployed college graduates are back where they started, living with their parents.
Upon receiving their diploma, they find themselves saddled with crushing student loan debt and unable to find a job. More than 36 percent of those who have found jobs aren't working in their chosen profession and many are working for minimum wage.
At the same time, millions of good-paying jobs are going unfilled.
Nationally, an estimated three million jobs are available in the skilled trades - electricians, plumbers, manufacturing workers, pipefitters, mechanics, appliance repair, computer techs and welders.
Known as blue collar jobs, they routinely pay $40,000 to $60,000 a year or more. According to Salary.com, the average heavy equipment operator in Seattle earns more than $93,000 a year in wages and benefits.
Still, these jobs go begging - and the situation will only worsen as skilled craft workers retire.
"The average age of a skilled craftsman such as a carpenter is 49; welder, 55; plumber, 56; and stonemason, 69," said Phil Crone, executive officer of the Dallas Builders Association.
Washington's Workforce Training Board reports that, despite the best efforts of the state, the Association of Washington Business, labor unions and community colleges, our state faces a significant shortage of skilled craft workers.
From 2016 to 2021, job openings in manufacturing, production, installation, maintenance and repair are projected to outstrip the supply of skilled workers by three-to-one. Many employers will be forced to import workers from other countries.
Why is there a shortage of skilled craft workers? We look down on such jobs.
My father inadvertently perpetuated that attitude. As a World War II vet, he used the GI bill to become an electrician. Even though he rose to the rank of master electrician and made a good living for his family, he pushed his kids to go to college. Despite his accomplishments, he felt a trade school education was second best.
True, studies show that over a lifetime, college degrees translate into higher incomes. But as they say, the devil is in the details.
First, you have to factor in the crushing burden of student loans that must be repaid. Currently, America's college grads are shouldering $1.2 trillion in college tuition debt.
Secondly, the advantage of a college degree depends on your major. Graduates with math, engineering, science and technical degrees fare better than those who majored in the liberal arts.
And unconditional taxpayer-funded tuition subsidies have allowed universities – and students – to indulge in majors that bear little relationship to real world career prospects.
For example, University of Connecticut students can earn both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in puppetry. At Plymouth State University, you can earn a degree in adventure education, studying canoe paddling fundamentals, wilderness expedition and whitewater kayaking.
Mike Rowe, host of Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs," says we need to hit the reset button on higher education.
"If we are lending money that ostensibly we don't have to kids who have no hope of making it back in order to train them for jobs that clearly don't exist, I might suggest that we've gone around the bend a little bit. Many of the best opportunities that exist today require a skill, not a diploma," said Rowe.
To expand those opportunities, Rowe founded the mikeroweWORKS Foundation that awards trade school and apprenticeship program scholarships to young people who show both an interest and an aptitude for mastering a specific trade. The Foundation has created more than $1.6 million in education scholarships with schools around the country.
Ironically, in the real world, one of those trade school graduates will be called to the apartment of a struggling college grad to fix their plumbing for $200 an hour.

Spina bifida is a congenital condition (meaning it is present at birth) that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord or its coverings. Nemours' spina bifida experts are uniquely prepared to treat the medical challenges of the condition while giving children the tools they need to grow into active, independent adults.
The term spina bifida comes from Latin and literally means "split" or "open" spine. Though the cause is unknown, the spine's failure to close properly happens during the first month of pregnancy.
A child born with spina bifida (also called myelomeningocele), or the related disorder lipomeningocele (when the "open" spine is covered over by an area of fatty tissue), often has some sort of damage to the nerves of the spinal cord. The extent of this damage can vary widely, but may include paralysis in the lower extremities and loss of bowel and bladder control. Children with spina bifida may also have hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain), and some may also experience attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or other learning difficulties.

Choosing the Right Law School / Re: Thomas jefferson on full scholorship VS tier 2 with no money??« on: February 09, 2006, 07:00:17 PM »
It might be an ok choice, just don't expect to get a job and be prepared to be failed out by their harsh curve. Honestly though, if that's your best choice I would suggest reconsidering your career choice. A paralegal at a biglaw firm would make more money than most TJ grads and you can do it with just a BA.

National Aquarium announces an exciting paid opportunity for undergraduate students interested in the conservation sciences!
Starting in summer 2013, we will host four students for an eight-week hands-on program focused on Chesapeake Bay ecology and marine mammal conservation. This program helps foster the students' understanding, appreciation and stewardship of our local aquatic habitats (and the plants and animals they support!). Our hope is that by exposing students to these experiences, it will inspire them to pursue a future career in the conservation sciences.
The Aquarium is actively involved in conservation education, applied restoration of habitats and preservation of marine animal species and provides a unique platform for student involvement. Students are encouraged to participate in all facets of habitat restoration and animal rehabilitation and release.
Our chosen participants will also have the opportunity to work with Aquarium partners also actively engaged in conservation, research and management issues. These issues involve a variety of state, local and federal government and non-government organizations. Students will have the opportunity to make very important contacts within the conservation field.
In addition to being paid for their time in the program, students will also be offered housing in a nearby facility. Applications are being accepted now! Please contact the Conservation Department at 410-659-4274 or email@example.com for an application packet. The deadline for applications is March 15, 2013.

Cosplay Special on King of the Nerds! - USA, reality TV
King of the Nerds, an indie reality TV show featured a Cosplay segment with the contestants dressing up as RPG characters and be judged by awesome celebrities - Adam Bush, Yaya Han and George Takei
It looked like tons of fun I reckon
Yaya also talks about her experience on the show when she filmed last year in LA on her Facebook
"I was hugely flattered that they came to me first regarding this guest appearance... But I actually declined, because I just wasn't sure what the appearance would entail, and because they had to shoot during San Diego Comic Con where I already had a plate full! The production company was super nice and kept asking me over several days hahaha, including explaining to me in details what the shoot would be, and finding a way to jet me up to LA from San Diego the Friday of SDCC. The entire crew was extremely professional and kind.
I found out later who my co-judges would be (to my delight).
I asked the hard questions regarding portraying cosplayers in a positive light. They answered them all.
The deliberations were actually much longer. I insisted on looking at the costumes up close, as I always do during every judging. Later I realized that request probably took the crew by surprise lol, but they indulged me and all 3 judges walked onto the stage to look at the craftsmanship up close.
We talked directly to the contestants, from our chairs, and gave them a lengthy critique. I liked Danielle's costume the most because there was so much hand work done on it, compared to some of the other costumes being put together from found pieces. Yes, Celeste's cube was also well constructed, and I said more than 1 sentence about her lol.
I was thoroughly impressed by George Takei's and Adam Busch's professionalism and respect toward cosplay. Thumbs up, gentlemen!
Once my portion of the shoot was done, there was so little time that I RAN to change and was rushed to the airport, as I had a booth appearance at SDCC that afternoon. I think I still had bits of the costume on at the airport lol. Made my flight by mere minutes, phew!
I've gotten many tweets and comments about the show and my tiny mini pop in. Most are so sweet, my heart melted. LOVE you guys. But! I KNOW some of you have serious apprehensions about the overall show, and that's ok! There are plenty of blogs for you to disuss those thoughts on. I just want you to remember that reality TV shows have to be made a certain way, and editing can change everything, from expressions to sentences said. Even my favorite completion show - Project Runway, devotes many minutes of its program to inter-contestant relationships and not the fashion designs. That's the TV reality we live in right now.
All I know is - an episode about cosplay could have been all kinds of out of this world, in all kinds of freaky manners. Just from web media coverage, you can see that cosplay is viewed in a million different ways. I appreciated the effort all the contestants put into their outfits, performances and the hours they must have stayed up rehearsing. And their efforts showed on camera! Hurray!
Since cosplay is an extremely personal passion, LARP-ing does interject with cosplay for some. Just remember, there is no wrong way to cosplay :)"

Seven students from a California high school took a field trip to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in September, after they submitted the winning entry in a nationwide contest to name a new hybrid, deep-sea vehicle under construction at WHOI.
The vehicle, formerly known as the Hybrid Remotely Operated Vehicle, or HROV, will be called Nereus after a mythical god with a fish tail and man's torso.
The winning team, from Monterey High School, included six boys and one girl who spent a day at WHOI meeting engineers, touring ships and vehicles, and even testing several mechanical components of the new vehicle, which will be capable of transforming from tethered robot to free-swimming vehicle.
"The biggest impression that the HROV left on me was its autonomous capability—that it can work even when the human connection at the surface is cut off," said high school senior Matthew Hogan, 18 (shown seated in photo at right as he learns from WHOI research engineer Matt Heintz how to operate the vehicle's manipulator arm).
Teacher Ron Woods said the experience provided students not only a glimpse of a first-of-its kind vehicle, but also "a real world example of how a team works to accomplish a goal."
"It was an amazing experience to see the scientific method in action as the WHOI engineers took us through the Nereus design process," said Woods, who accompanied students and several parent chaperones on the trip.
"Seeing the WHOI scientists and engineers joking together, and generally working in an informal yet productive atmosphere, was a great example for our students," he said.
The $5-million vehicle should be ready for testing off the coast of Hawaii in November 2007, said project engineer Andy Bowen, who sponsored the students' visit to WHOI. Scientists plan to use it at depths up to 11,000 meters (36,000 feet) and to explore remote, difficult-to-reach areas, including under the Arctic ice cap.
Engineers and ship's crew will be able to transform Nereus from a free-swimming vehicle for wide-area ocean surveys to a vehicle tethered by a cable to a surface ship that can be used for or close-up investigation and sampling of seafloor rocks and organisms.

Everyone's always on Kanye's jock for showing up at Cannes driving a SLR Stirling Moss or using a Tatra in "Runaway," but is PBR&B'er Frank Ocean actually the cooler car guy?
It's easy to pick the most expensive, wildest looking cars available (and the SLR Stirling Moss is exactly that). When you can select any car it's more impressive to eschew the Ferraris and Lamborghinis for something with a bit more taste.
Ocean's first EP "Nostaliga, Ultra" features no less than a tastefully modified E30 M3 on the cover. Hard to top that. But the short music video above for his song "Acura Integurl" doesn't have an Acura Integra (although, props for the reference), opting instead for an Acura NSX — any car lover's dream.

A hotel boom in downtown St. Louis has a decidedly historic flavor. Five projects are using historic buildings wholly or partially to add nearly 2,000 new hotel rooms.
The largest of the projects is the renovation by New Orleans-based Historic Restoration Inc. (HRI) of two buildings that are across the street from each other and adjacent to America's Convention Center. The larger facility will be a convention hotel, and its neighbor an all-suites property. Both will be operated by Marriott International under the Renaissance flag.
The convention hotel, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2002, will utilize the 84-year-old structure of the Statler Hotel, which has been vacant for 20 years. It will contain about 320 rooms. The remainder of the Renaissance's 918 rooms will be located in an adjacent new 22-story tower, and a ballroom and meeting space will be constructed in an adjacent block.
Preservation officials rejected an earlier plan to accommodate meeting space in the new tower, which would have made it conspicuously taller than the existing structure. Baltimore-based A/E RTKL Associates is architect for the project, and St. Louis-based J.S. Alberici Construction Co. is the general contractor. RTKL's work included a design review for compliance with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's standards for rehabilitation.
The 165 units that make up the Renaissance Suites will be created in a 1922 building that was originally the Lenox Hotel, which was subsequently converted to apartments. The design is being done in-house by HRI, with St. Louis-based Paric Corp. as the general contractor.
From goods to guests
The 260-room Westin St. Louis, which opened in March, utilizes four of the remaining nine buildings of Cupples Station, a complex of about 20 warehouses constructed between 1894 and 1917.
A challenging aspect of the project was the need to install pin piles to bedrock at a depth of 60 feet because the original wood pile foundations have been weakened by dry rot. Needle beams attached to the piles will provide the additional structural support required.
Two St. Louis-based firms, Trivers Associates and McCormick Baron & Associates, are architect and developer, respectively, for the $55 million project. Chicago-based McHugh Construction Co. was the general contractor.
High-rise adaptive reuse
A 13-story, 1 million-sq.-ft. former J.C. Penney Co. warehouse built in 1929 is being converted into the 292-room Sheraton St. Louis Hotel by developer Breckenridge Companies. The architect is Henmi & Associates and the general contractor is R.G. Brinkmann, both based in St. Louis. The $35 million development, scheduled for completion in June, will also include four floors of residential condominiums. A major feature of the conversion was the removal of a section of floors five through 13 to create a 1.2 million cubic foot atrium. The building is notable for a large mural on its south wall that depicts local landmarks.
The 370-room Drury Plaza Hotel, which opened last September, was the first of the current series of adaptive reuse hotel conversions to be completed. It encompasses the 1919 International Fur Exchange Building and two adjacent buildings that were constructed in the 1950s. Henmi & Associates was the architect and Drury Development Corp. the developer and general contractor.

Workers May Have Helped Terrorists in Algeria
Low-level workers at the Algerian gas plant attacked by terrorists may have helped the militants by providing basic information. WSJ's Paul Sonne has spoken to survivors about the part local drivers may have played after being on strike for nearly six months. Photo: Getty Images

I ... the the ... so ... this might ... be the least thirty seven on what is ... going to die militants dead ... he cited the leaves while the Algerian authorities that he said ... according to pull sunny so some of the survivors of all what evidence is that the ... local workers were the ones that are just as there to serve to two things here one is that of the Algerian prime minister of the muscle all ... of last week came and made a speech about what the Algerian authorities to know about the attack ... and when the things they mention was that a former driver from the facility was with the militants is among ... the militants who took the place and then he also said to clearly we think they have inside information he said they had a map but it was unclear whether he meant a map of the facility or in ... the area ... aam and in addition to that a lot of survivors say when the militants arrived they appeared to have information about the facility ... schedules on the electricity was cut out very quickly suggesting the potentially they they knew ... of ... where the generators were ... a lot of other things said though is that it was sort of high level technical team to bring you that they seem to know some basic stuff but not cups ... tell the novelist as to the consensus among the survivors we've talked to seems to be that ... they had basic but important information about the facility as I said schedules are locations of the main management off as potential locations of generators ... on the scuttle the boss that is taking it as the airport ... but what they didn't have was high-tech and for higher higher technical information about the gas facility which would've allowed them ... to load up or really understand how it works ... on by almost all accounts ... they didn't really understand ... how the sort ... of a Wisconsin because ... it seems to be any kind of had that in this new day hopes to actually ... take it you take the kidnapped ... in Somalia and use them as pawns in this in the whole of ... the stuff that a lot of money at the moment but ... when that seemed to fall apart ... then they decided they want to blow the ... yes so if there is ... this is in the other seems to be the consensus is something that Prime Minister so Wall said last week that ... initially had planned to take the hostas back might and then I when it turned out that I wasn't working out they set about trying to upload the plant the question is on it what were they going to blow up the planned or did they see that as another way on to have leverage against the people there were negotiating with because if they found a way to book the plants ... are or are the least threatening credibly to book the plant then on then they might've start getting some of her demand concerns about the possible harm to society this all happens to coincide with and what was based in August but the plot to bomb ... yo diet in the middle of a working ... to most of all us yet yet so so far no one has no none of the other authorities have pointed to a direct connection between the straight and um the attack but we do know that after authorities are looking at ... um the lower level workers who is from the area where the plant is which is our journey as Europe or South it's in the middle of the country but closer to the south on in the middle of this our desert ... and Dom it does it does appear on Juniper's are looking at that aam but it doesn't ... it's it's un clear with a if if there's any connection with the strike will we do know is that this trait was among two groups he was among the drivers who are among among this group of lower level workers that are better being with us and in the technical administration staff who was far as we enter Sanhedrin Thurs are not concentrating on aam because most of them are ... of really I was killed from the north ... aam and would have more information about the gas facility ... which ... the stairs in the year ... this is going to have them but don't read the potent chemicals what what is unseen has well ... is that this attack to face with a lot of senior executives with a ... pot of not being

they stopped on looking for the day they continued producing well but to start drilling new wells they start their fracking program to God and the number of expats I decided to really you know when

Tips for keeping your interior paint from fading
It�probably�seems like only yesterday that you agonized over choosing the perfect color for your walls. Now that you've taken the time to paint, you can relax and put the rollers and tarp out of mind. But in just a short time, your walls may begin to loose their luster. Here's why.
If the space on the wall behind a wall fixture�is darker than the rest of the room, then chances are your paint has fallen victim to UV rays. Just as sunlight can damage your skin, it can also fade the pigment in a room that gets a lot of sun. Because areas of the wall that aren't exposed to sunlight will remain the original color, this�can create noticeable differences in the shade of your paint. There's no way to remedy it, aside from repainting, so save time by getting proper window treatments. For rooms with a lot of saturated color to lose, get roller shades in a dark color and keep them down whenever the room is not in use.�
Humidity and other forms of�moisture�can erode the paint itself, so take note of the climate you live in. It might be wise to invest in a dehumidifier if you notice your room gets damp easily. If you manage to spill water on your walls (or are cleaning up something else that got onto the wall) dry it up as soon as you're able.
Some paints aren't made to withstand extreme temperatures, like those�under 50 degrees or over 80. Hopefully your house isn't subject to such conditions, but if you're looking for a home improvement project, consider insulating. Not only will it keep your rooms at a moderate temperature, it will also help keep your paint saturated.�

The club premises had originally started in Salters Shed in the Harbour and was gradually added to.
The exact year of the foundation of Baltimore Sailing Club is somewhat uncertain! Above the bar, in the Club House, is the formal list of Commodores starting in 1952.
In a letter, dated 3rd August 1976, Frank Murphy, who was the first Secretary of the club, stated that the club was founded in the summer of 1953. The Minutes of a Meeting held at Messrs Salters Baltimore on Saturday 28th July 1956 state that "It was unanimously felt that a Sailing Club should be formed.
Present were Thomas Fuller, Davis Wolfe, Hugh Musgrave, Ivo Kennedy, Robin Atkins, Alan Marten and Frank Murphy. At that meeting, on the proposal of Mr. Musgrave, seconded by Mr. Murphy, Mr. Thomas Fuller was elected Commodore and on the proposal of Mr. Fuller, seconded by Mr. Musgrave, Mr. Frank Murphy was elected Secretary.
Where it all began in 1952
The following Committee was appointed, which would also act as Sailing Committee :-Commodore, Secretary, Robin Atkins and Pip Marten. Baltimore Sailing Club appeared to be the most suitable name but it was decided to withold a decision on this until the next meeting". So there are three years with a claim to be the start date!
There is no doubt that there was dinghy sailing before 1953, first at Tragumna and then at Baltimore and since the official list of Commodores starts in 1952, this should be the start year. It also enables us to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Club in 2002! Those who contest this can organise celebrations in 2003 and 2006!
The most interesting account of the founding of the Baltimore Sailing Club is contained in a letter from Frank Murphy to John Newenham (Commodore 1976) dated 3rd August 1976 from which I quote:-
"You asked me about Tom and the foundation of the Club. The real background is not generally known. Tom was always deeply concerned at the emigration from Baltimore and Skibbereen and spent much time and money here and abroad, and over a long period, in attempts to establish industries to give employment, but without success. I went with him in one of these efforts which took us to Zurich in 1952. Eventually we discussed expanding and developing the indigenous industry of boat building and promoting Baltimore and the islands as a resort for centreboard sailing which would also benefit local tourism.The first step was to get the people who came there "doing it". Apart from a few motor boats there was only an International 12', one unclassified 12' and an old 21/2 ton yacht.
There were increasing numbers of young people both local and summer visitors who could be interested and taught to sail; to start a club was an obvious necessity. I wanted to push on with it but Tom was against doing so until we could be sure of more support. In the early summer of 1953 two more International 12's arrived; in the week following a third was bought in Crosshaven and, when I called to Tom on the Saturday, he had already heard all and declared we start the club immediately and was passing the news all around for a meeting that night, which was duly held in Salter's Lounge (now Bushe's Bar).
He was elected Commodore, and henceforth he and Olive gave it most of their spare time, winter and summer. For years they never missed a weekend on the pier, in fact I only remember one absence in all their years of office when they had to attend the funeral of a relative in England."
Tom Fuller remained Commodore of the Club until 1966. His successor was Frank Murphy who held the position for a year, followed by Hugh Musgrave for two years. Since then the post has been held 17 Commodores, changing approximately every two years. Above all Baltimore Sailing Club was a family club run on a completely voluntary basis. Today many of the children and grandchildren of the founding families are most active participants. There are a total of approximately 200 members.
