(Gripping true tsunami survival story)
The Impossible" is one of the most gripping, tense, frightening, yet uplifting films we have ever seen. It is based on the true story of a family who survived the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, and it is frighteningly told through their eyes.
The movie opens with the serenity and happiness of a family vacationing in a brand new oceanfront resort in Khoak, Thailand. And then, out of nowhere, a tsunami sweeps over the resort and a good portion of the land, destroying property and people in its path. The special effects are so real they make you cringe at the destruction.
The mother (incredible performance by Naomi Watts) is swept away with Lucas, her oldest son (Tom Holland) by the surging waters in scenes that are made to seem so real that we found ourselves gasping and our whole bodies tightening in fear for their lives. They miraculously manage to survive, although Marie was badly injured, and are saved by a local family who can't speak their language. She is taken to a makeshift hospital, where people are frantically searching for their loved ones and the understaffed personnel are overwhelmed.
The chaos is also overwhelming as this underdeveloped country tries to cope with sickness, death, disease and frustrating searches for loved ones. There are moments when you want to close your eyes to avoid the suffering and pain, and there are also moments of hope. One touching scene has Lucas bringing together a boy and his father. Also touching, to the point of tears, is the love and caring and fear that Lucas shows toward his mother as she struggles to stay alive.
Meanwhile, the father (Ewan McGregor) has managed to survive with his two youngest sons but has no idea if his wife and other son are alive. He sets out searching for her and has a number of misses.
The movie ends poignantly, leaving us emotionally exhausted. This movie is not for the faint at heart, but amidst all of the death and destruction there is hope and the uplifting of the human spirit. It is one awesome movie. How the special effects people made every scene so realistic is beyond our comprehension.
Rated PG-13 because of its intensity. You'll have to travel to Providence Place to see it, but it is well worth it. Stop at the Food Court, where most of the vendors give you free samples and dinner specials.

Will agents show your listings? A glimpse into NE Ohio's Competitive MLS
I'll tell you why our MLS is competitive in one word: VOLUME.
Yesterday I checked the community of Euclid Ohio. There were 683 homes on the market. Rocky River has 240 homes for sale. Lakewood has 376; Cleveland Heights has 666. You get the point. There are a lot of available homes in NE Ohio.
If you are selling your home you will be asking the same question your Realtor® is asking—what can I do to make my listing stand out, and not be the house in the back of the room waving it's chimney saying 'pick me, pick me!'
I decided to use myself as an example. I have quite a few buyers at the moment and spend time culling the listings to set up showings.
Here is what I automatically eliminate:
1. Homes with no photos
(In fact, even if they have the primary/exterior photo, unless it's unique, I skip it unless there are more.)
2. Homes with no room sizes and amenities listed
So it has four bedrooms. What are the sizes? Do they have wood floors, ceiling fans, carpet? If you don't list it, I say NEXT because there will be, say, 100 others that DO list it.
3. Descriptions
Many Realtors® and brokers give descriptions on REOs and short sale properties, no matter what the listing price. That is as it should be. And in this day and age, if you don't do that, then I can say…NEXT.
I think you get the idea!
Since almost all of my clients and close to what, 90% of all prospective home buyers are Continue reading this post

Corn plantings are up in the Southeast and the record Easter freeze made replanting necessary on large acreages in South Carolina and Georgia. Add to the planting delays due to a prolonged drought in many areas of the Southeast, and the sum result is large acreages of soybeans planted later than usual across the Southeast.
The delayed planting could put many soybeans at risk for Asian soybean rust, if the disease develops and spreads northward. Active rust is still being monitored at six sites in Florida, but little movement has been detected.
As of mid-May, the drought in Georgia and Alabama had stopped rust development cold, though rust was found on kudzu in Louisiana earlier in the month. The disease was also detected on soybeans in one county in Texas, but that field has since been cultivated and planted with corn.
Conditions remain critically dry in Florida, with fires hampering many outside activities, including planting. University of Florida researchers say, "kudzu is growing rapidly and in those sites that are infected the rust is progressing slowly. We have not had any sites become negative since the winter, but thus far we have found fewer positive sites than in previous years."
In Alabama, Auburn University Plant Pathologist Ed Sikora says, "Soybean rust has not been detected in our soybean sentinel plots or on kudzu in south and central Alabama as of mid-May. The state is still relatively dry, though some areas have received significant amounts of rainfall from widely scattered thunderstorms."
Georgia has been ravaged first by the record Easter freeze and since by extreme drought conditions that have prevented planting of many crops, including soybeans. In the northern half of the state, kudzu monitoring sites have remained dormant. Though some of the kudzu sites in south Georgia have emerged from dormancy, no rust has been found on any kudzu in the state.
University of Georgia Researcher Bob Kemerait says, "Intensive scouting occurred on April 24 at sites where Asian soybean rust was found to over-winter in 2006-2007. We are no longer able to detect Asian soybean rust at any location in Georgia on kudzu at this time. The only Asian soybean rust that was found were pustules on long-dead leaves. These leaves have been dead for likely 8 weeks, so it is unlikely that the remaining spores are viable," according to Kemerait.
Soybean planting is behind its normal schedule in South Carolina. In the Savannah Valley extreme drought has brought planting of all crops almost to a halt. Where moisture or irrigation are present, cotton and peanuts have a higher planting priority at this point, according to Clemson University Plant Pathologist John Mueller.
In the northern half of the state moisture in some areas has been excessive. Even where moisture is good soybean planting has taken a backseat to finishing cotton and peanut planting. All planting has been delayed due to the replanting of more than 25 percent of the corn crop due to the Easter freeze, Mueller adds.
Regardless of when soybeans are planted, a critical factor in managing soybean rust is to know when these plants are most vulnerable to the disease. The sentinel plot system is so accurate in monitoring movement of rust that farmers can wait until they get an advisory to spray. Still, they must know whether their beans are vulnerable to rust damage.
Pawel Wiatrak, an agronomist at Clemson University's Edisto Agricultural Research and Education Center in Blackville, S.C., says when a grower sees an advisory to spray beans between Growth Stage 4 and 6, he or she better know how to identify these growth stages. "A simple ride-by isn't likely to be a good indicator of when, or if, to apply fungicides to soybeans," he adds.
When the first flower appears on the main stem on the majority of plants in a field, the plants, and for evaluation purposes the field, are in reproductive Growth Stage 1, or R1.
When one flower on one of the top two nodes is full bloom, the plant is at R2, or reproductive Growth Stage 2.
When pods on the top four nodes are less than one fourth-inch in length, the plant is in the R3 stage. When these pods reach one quarter inch or longer, the plant is at the R4 stage.
At R5, seeds are formed, but are less than one eighth-inch in diameter.
By the time the plant reaches mid-R5 stage, and legally by R6, soybeans should not be sprayed for Asian soybean rust. At the R6 stage, seed are larger than one eighth-inch in diameter. At R7, one pod has the color of mature beans and at R8 95 percent of pods are mature.
Mueller says growers should always look at 20-25 plants in a field. If 50 percent of the plants fit into the defined growth stage categories, the grower should rate the field, he says. "Looking at one of two plants isn't likely to give you a good evaluation of the growth stage of an entire field, and in larger fields with large differences in topography and soil quality, more than 20-25 samples may be needed to get an accurate picture of maturity."
Though rust appears to be delayed in the Southeast, active rust in Louisiana could spell trouble for growers in the Mid-South and Midwest. The find in New Iberia Parrish is 53 days earlier than 2006, which brings up questions about the initial inoculum source and the overall implications for soybeans in Louisiana and the mid-section of the country, according to LSU Plant Pathologist Clayton Hollier.
Hollier says, "such an early find in the Deep South has implications for our industry and the industry north of us. It was indicated last year (2006) that Louisiana was probably the source of inoculum for the Mid-South and the Mississippi and Ohio River states north of us. That being said, the same could happen this year, especially if the weather is wetter than last year's."
While rust remains a threat to soybeans nationwide, it appears development of the disease has been severely hampered in the Southeast by drought. In 2006, a prolonged drought in Georgia and Alabama blunted northward movement of the disease, delaying it until there was little threat to soybeans in the Carolinas and Virginia.
Thought no accurate predictive models of soybean rust movement have been developed, researchers in the Southeast agree that the Easter freeze and prolonged drought in the lower Southeast have delayed development of rust.
Whether these conditions delay movement of rust into soybean producing areas of the upper Southeast remain to be seen.

How fast businesses can change and how quickly the ethanol industry has changed farming in the South! On March 30, USDA released its planting intentions report and surprised many with an estimate of 90.5 million acres of corn.
Keep in mind that those are intentions only and the likelihood of such a large planted acreage occurring now are slim.
Why will not all of these acres materialize? Keep in mind, that when this intention report was released there was not a kernel of corn planted in the Midwest. Everyone had planned on increasing corn acres under the "anticipation" of selling corn at $4 per bushel or higher. $4 in the cash market has not materialized for almost any farmers in the Midwest.
Now the market is substantially below that. Consequently, if a Midwestern farmer has not already applied his nitrogen (and nitrogen prices have nearly doubled since the first of the year), it will be easy to switch back to soybeans.
As you can see in the accompanying tables, we are now forecasting 89.5 million acres of corn and 68 million acres of soybeans.
What did occur of interest, however, was (as all of you know) the huge shift in acreage in Southern states. For example, Mississippi increased from 340,000 acres of corn last year to 900,000 acres this year. Louisiana from 300,000 to 700,000. Arkansas from 190,000 to 560,000.
These are massive increases that will result in a wide basis and some significant problems this harvest in the South. There will not be enough storage. There will be a shortage of barges. There will be a shortage of trucks and probably a shortage of combines. This big of a fundamental change in only one year will cause significant infrastructure issues.
One thing is for sure — price volatility is going to be enormous. With a late planting and excessive water in the Midwest combined with near drought conditions in the South, corn and soybean prices will experience a weather market over the next several weeks or even months.
It is likely, however, that if weather problems push this market higher between now and the end of May, the highest prices of the year will be within that timeframe. Markets peak on bullish news — and this one will be no different.
Also, because of the logistics issues in the South, expect a wide basis at harvest time and long truck lines. It will be an interesting year.

I have one of those small frozen HRI thin crust pizzas left to bake. Is there anything you want me to note when trying to bake that pizza? I want to see if the layers will appear on that crust in the bake.
Norma,I think I would just make the pizza and enjoy it. Even though I have never had a real HRI pizzeria pizza, I have come to view the frozen HRI pizzas and the HRI pizzeria pizzas as two different products. I know that there are quite a few people who say that the frozen HRI pizzas are just like the ones sold in the HRI pizzerias, and HRI itself likes to perpetuate this myth (in my opinion) at Facebook (after all, the real money is in the frozen pizzas), but I have also seen reviews where the reviewers said that the two products were not the same. To take a product that was created in 1947 and intended for a deck oven and pretend that you can make thousands of credible clone pizza per hour in frozen pizza factories without anyone noticing the difference strains credulity in my opinion. Once you get into massive automation, and no matter how advanced and sophisticated and automated the equipment, the pizza coming off of the assembly line will not be as good as the one that Nick Perrino made in 1947. And perhaps not as good as those that followed in the HRI pizzerias over the ensuing years. Peter
While all of this is true, the flaky layers phenomenon exists in both products, restaurant and frozen.
The whole thing. It's like eating dense puff pastry, almost. Hard to describe.Cheers,Garvey
I think I understand what Garvey means... I think I mentioned this before, but to me it's almost like eating layers of phyllo pastry. I mean, it's not *really* like that (at all), but I can't really think of any other way to describe it. It's like a little oily cluster of very densely-packed layers. but it's crunchy and the layers flake apart when you eat it.
Norma,I think the hydration value set forth in Reply 678 is as good as any to try at this point should you decide to proceed with another attempt.Peter
Thanks for your advice of what to try. I will make another dough this morning for an attempted pizza on Sunday.
Norma,If this gets to you in time, you might try adding the oil to the flour before adding the rest of the ingredients, including the water. That should impede the hydration of the flour and make for a drier dough ball. Peter
I was looking on HRI Pizzas facebook page again, and dont think I looked at this photo before. It shows what looks like cheese, sausage and pepperoni pizza going into the conveyor oven. It looks to me like there is not as much cheese applied as I have been doing and it looks like a lot more pepperoni is applied. Would that change the bake of our attempts if less LMPS is applied? Do you think HRI pizzerias might apply different amounts of mozzarella than they do to their frozen pizzas?
Norma,You did see the photo before. I showed the same photo at Reply 195 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6112.msg235707.html#msg235707, and later cross referenced Reply 195 at Reply 348 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6112.msg242823.html#msg242823. You acknowledged the photo Reply 349.With respect to the amounts of pepperoni used, it is hard to say without knowing the size of the pizza shown in the photo. HRI makes pizzas in its pizzerias in the 12", 14" and 16" sizes (http://www.homeruninnpizza.com/website/documents/menus/HRI%20TakeOutMenu_2012_CHIlowres.pdf). Since it appears that HRI builds its pizzeria pizzas on a digital scale, it is possible that they use pepperoni slices in an amount that is proportional to the pizza size. So, for example, if a 12" pizza has 14 slices (as used, for example, on a 12" frozen HRI pepperoni pizza), the number of pepperoni slices on a 14" pizza would be 14 x (49/36) = 19 pepperoni slices, and for the 16" size, it would be 14 x (64/36) = 25 pepperoni slices. If my assumptions are correct, the pizza in the photo would be 16". The pepperoni pizza shown in the HRI menu referenced above looks like it might be a 14" pizza based on the number of pepperoni slices. The "natural" pepperoni that HRI uses is more expensive than the common variety, so I would imagine that they don't go wild in the amounts of pepperoni slices that they put on their pizzas. As for the cheese, one of the things that I discovered when I dismantled the HRI frozen pizzas and weighed several of the parts of the pizzas, I discovered that the amounts of cheese can vary on the pizzas, particularly those that have a lot of toppings. I discussed this facet of my experiments at Reply 307 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6112.msg242492/topicseen.html#msg242492. As a general principle, and all else being equal, a pizza with a lot of stuff on it will bake differently than one with only a few things on it. The above notwithstanding, I do not know if the HRI pizzeria pizzas use the same amounts of cheese and toppings as for the frozen HRI pizzas with the same toppings. Maybe one of our members with total recall can answer that question for us.Peter

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior Robin Shin (Brookline, Mass.) and freshman Laura Jarin-Lipschitz (Rosemont, Pa.) represented the MIT women's fencing team on Northeast Fencing Conference (NFC) All-Star Teams. Shin received her third straight Sabre First Team selection while Jarin-Lipschitz was tabbed to the Epee First Team. The awards marked the 10th straight season in which the Engineers collected multiple awards.
Shin was a force to be reckoned with in sabre as she amassed a record of 33-3. Jarin-Lipschitz, meanwhile, turned in a 29-6 performance during her rookie campaign.

Many days, a few weeks ago I blogged about my resolutions and responsibilities for 2009. I am well on my way to fulfilling those ... already. It seems that my local genealogy society's books at the public library needed to once again be shifted. Big shift! We did this a year ago with minor shifting in the following months. Two other departments shifted last week, so we shifted.
It has not been a normal shift. One shelving section was moved and repositioned to make a user friendly area for researchers. Because we knew this big shift was approaching, we had not shelved at least 150 books in the last couple months. These were newly cataloged and not wanting to shift twice, they were left for this major shift. One heavily used area (Nebraska books) had gone shabby and out of order. Both of those functions have been accomplished and today we will finish the shift project.
I would call this my responsibility for 2009, or one of them in the genealogy world. I have had four willing workers, one being my daughter who writes the blog, Growing Up Genealogy.
A resolve I mentioned earlier this month was to clean up my computerized genealogy files. I am a Mac and Reunion user. I have picked up some great tips for doing this at Ben Sayer's blog, MacGenealogist.com. If you are a Mac user and a genealogist, be sure to read his blog. My genealogy files on the computer are enormous, but I have cleaned up three thus far and well on my way to four. I have many more to go.
Not too bad for less than one, well almost a month. Wonder what I'll do in February?

St. Joseph's General Hospital will kick off its centennial celebrations Friday with an open house.
Attendees can browse photos and artifacts, indulge in some cake and refreshments, learn more about what the hospital centennial is all about — plus they will be the first to see a special mural that will be showcased in the hospital lobby, according to centennial co-ordinator Mary Lee.
"The mural tells a story through a collage of the images from the past through to the present. It reflects the hospital's rich history beginning with the Sisters (of St. Joseph) and moves forward to the present," explains Lee.
"The reoccurring message or theme is 'Care with Compassion,' a philosophy the hospital has stood by for the past 100 years. We have also adorned the collage with a very special piece of artwork by local artist Andy Everson."
The open house starts at 11 a.m. in the main lobby of St. Joseph's.
Lee notes the hospital lobby has undergone a bit of a "facelift" in preparation for the new mural, with a few modifications and a fresh coat of paint.
"Visitors will see these changes as soon as they walk in," she says. "There is a warmer, more inviting feel to the lobby now that the cool pale walls have been replaced with a richer blue hue, which is complementary to the project that will be unveiled during the open house."
A number of dignitaries are expected to attend the open house including Premier Christy Clark, Comox Valley MLA Don McRae and Father Marek Paczka, who is representing the Diocese of Victoria.
Numerous photographs and newspaper clippings from the past 100 years have been pulled from the hospital archives and will be on display during the open house, as well as some original patient registration logbooks.
Lee notes artifacts are in short supply but some have been lent to the hospital for centennial celebration purposes. For example, the Courtenay and District Museum lent the hospital an enamel tray, jug and cups which was used there sometime during the late 1940s.
Because of their delicate nature, artifacts will be showcased in glass display cases to protect them.
Anyone with items that once belonged to the hospital or were used at the hospital, like medical equipment, uniforms or journals, is encouraged to share them for temporary display during the centennial celebrations, which continue until July 7 when a huge public celebration and mass will happen at the hospital.
For more information about loaning artifacts e-mail Mary Lee at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The public is also encouraged to share their stories and special memories of the hospital over the years for a Legacy Year project.
For a $100-donation a donor can purchase a year for their commemorative story — a birth in 1937, or a life-saving operation in 1962 are examples. These stories can simply be a one-line dedication or a paragraph up to 100 words in length, and accompanying photographs are welcomed.
Stories received before March 31 will be considered for a banner display the hospital will create.
Funds raised through this campaign will go towards centennial events like a commemorative video, the mural and various hospital beautification projects.
For more information on the Legacy Year project, visit www.cvhospitalfoundation.com, the hospital foundation office at 2137 Comox Ave. or call 250-890-3046.

Bangor, ME - Husson football fell to the Mustangs of Mt. Ida College on Senior Day 6-0 Saturday to end their 2013 campaign at 5-5 overall. Tailback Byron Jackson led the Eagles on offense carrying the ball 24 times for 84 yards while Stephan Dance managed 12 tackles, one and a half of them for a loss of nine yards and a sack for an eight yard loss.
The only scoring play on the afternoon came just over four minutes into the game. Mt. Ida's Melquan Pinkney took one of his 24 carries on the day into the endzone from 21 yards out to end an eight play, 82 yard drive to open the game. Husson had a chance to bring Pinkney down on the play but he slipped the tackle and scampered in for six. The extra point was no good and Ida led 6-0, the eventual final score.
The Eagles were intercepted once and lost two fumbles on the day as the offense just could not get going. The Mustangs got to quarterback Ryan Stroud eight times on the afternoon. Stroud moved back to quarterback from wide receiver in the first half last week at Norwich when starter Joe Seccareccia came out of the game with an injury.
After the game head coach Gabby Price had nothing but praise for his 2013 team: "From the first day [of preseason] to the last day their attitudes have been terrific. We can't say enough good things about their efforts. Today Mt. Ida played hard, got the one score and played their hearts out. Our hats are off to them."
Both teams end with identical 5-5 overall and 4-3 conference records on the year. The Mustangs now hold an overall 8-3 advantage in the 11 meetings between the two schools and is the oldest rivalry for the Eagles' football program dating back to the very first game in Husson program history in 2003.

How much caffeine is too much? Should kids have caffeine at all? Le Bonheur Dietitian Nichole Reed, RD, states that it's important to understand the effects caffeine can have on kids. She tackles the topic below.
How much caffeine is safe for kids?
Safe caffeine consumption in children is based upon weight. So, a 60-pound child can tolerate 60 milligrams of caffeine in 24 hours. However, the problem lies in the amounts of caffeine found in many products. Working in the Healthy Lifestyle Clinic at Le Bonheur, I'm all too familiar with some of our kid's favorite caffeinated drinks.
For reference, here are the amounts of sugar and caffeine found in popular drinks. Many have more caffeine in one serving than a child needs in an entire day.
- Starbucks Frappuccino Beverage (Bottle): 75 mg caffeine | 31 grams
- Starbuck Mocha Frappuccino (Grande, 12 fluid ounces): 110 mg caffeine | 62 grams sugar
- Regular Soda (12 fluid ounce can): 34mg - 55mg caffeine | 30-55 grams sugar
- Coffee, black (6 fluid ounces): 115 mg
- Coffee, black (6 fluid ounces), with 1 tablespoon of sugar: 115 mg | 12.5 grams sugar
- Red Bull Energy Drink (12 fluid ounce can): 115 mg caffeine | 27 grams sugar
- Monster Energy Drink (16 fluid ounce can): 160 mg caffeine | 54 grams sugar
The other problem with these drinks: added sugar. The upper limit of added sugar a day is 25 grams per day. As you can see above, most of those drinks exceed that limit.
What are the biggest concerns with too much caffeine?
For one: sleep. A study in the journal Pediatrics found that 75 percent of children consume caffeine on a daily basis -- and the more caffeine children consumed, the less they slept. Sleep is critical for all but children and adolescents require more sleep than adults, up to 9-10 hours. Watch Le Bonheur's Facebook Live on sleep recommendations.
Plus, evidence suggests that if you have a child who already has an anxiety disorder, the effects of caffeine make it worse. Just as in adults, too much caffeine can cause many unnecessary side effects:
- jitters and nervousness
- upset stomach
- headaches
- difficulty concentrating
- trouble sleeping
- increased heart rate
- higher blood pressure
The bottom line: practice label reading and looking at the caffeine (and sugar) content of your child's drinks. You might be surprised by what you find!

Best Kids Parties: Princess
Name: Chole, 4
Location: Toronto, CN
Chloe loves all things princess so we dreamed up a royal celebration for her and ten of her friends.
The princesses arrived dressed in their finest attire. We just finished our basement renovation so I set up different stations around the large space. There was a colouring station and a crown making station where the girls and their moms could get crafty. I also set up a little table and chairs for Cinderella's Beauty Salon. The girls loved getting a sparkle nail polish manicure, some princess tattoos and accessorizing with dollar store rings and candy necklaces. And tucked under our basement stairs, we have a playhouse that has a magnetic wall. I put magnetic dress up princesses on the wall. It turned out to be great spot for some of the shyer kids to escape the party chaos and play quietly.
Crowned and bejewelled, the princesses then made their way upstairs to the grand surprise: Princess Chloe's castle. My husband (an intern architect) and I crafted a giant castle out of cardboard boxes. It had turrets and arched windows, pencil-drawn bricks, and a drawbridge. Chloe's bedroom is currently being repainted so we put it into the empty room. We already had paper covering the floors so we added on a stone walkway and moat around the castle too. The girls just loved it!
After all the fun, we enjoyed a light feast of fruit cups, veggies, cheese, and pizza. I set up a Royal Refreshment Station with pink lemonade and juice for the girls and carbonated juice and soda for the adults. Chloe loved her frilly chocolate-raspberry cake which I topped with princess dolls and washi tape bunting.
Then we sent her friends home with goodie bags filled with fairy tale finger puppets, chocolate gold coins (royal treasure!) and a sparkly gold wand. It was a perfect day for our little princess.
Thanks, Jennifer!

A fence would be nice. When my kids were little I had a treehouse that was difficult for kids to get to. They would play below while I drank wine in the tree!

You might want to invest in a cheap flannel backed tablecloth to tac on the wall to lay out your design.

That picture reminds me of every attempt at a quilt photo that has been ruined here by a cat suddenly jumping into the middle of the blocks. They think they get extra points for spinning in circles and making them fly!
I do love those colors.

I was thinking that the fence is really a quilt flannelwall in disguise. Really, it confines the kiddos, offers a place to check out your designs, and lets you be outside.
There it is. Or not. Swear away if that's what it takes.

BETHLEHEM, PA – Visiting Johns Hopkins scored 21 points in a span of just over four minutes midway through the first half and the Blue Jays never looked back in posting a 41-3 victory at Moravian in Centennial Conference action at Rocco Calvo Field Saturday afternoon. Johns Hopkins, which improves to 2-1 overall and 2-0 in the Centennial, jumped out to a 34-3 halftime lead and picked up its second straight win against the Greyhounds, who slip to 1-3 overall and 1-2 in the Centennial.
The Greyhounds efficiently moved 56 yards in nine plays and got a career-long 41-yard field goal from Ian Heck on their ensuing drive, but that would be the final score of the day for Moravian.
A nine-yard touchdown pass from Tomlin to sophomore Scott Cremens on JHU's next possession made it 28-3 and Scott Barletta capped a quick, five-play, 65-yard drive that took just 1:49 with a one-yard scoring run with just over three minutes remaining in the second quarter. The drive was highlighted by a career-long 53-yard run by Tomlin, who orchestrated a perfect fake and sprinted down the middle of the field before being caught at the Moravian 12. Barletta's touchdown came four plays later.
The 34-3 lead held until midway through the fourth quarter when junior A.J. Safi added a one-yard touchdown run of his own. Safi's scoring run came six plays after Moravian's sixth turnover of the game and finished a drive that covered 19 yards. The Blue Jay defense forced three fumbles and came up with three interceptions on the day while holding the 'Hounds to just 185 yards of total offense, including just 62 in the second half.
Freshman Phil Gardner was 7-of-17 for 106 yards with two interceptions, while Joe Tegan added 60 yards rushing to lead the Greyhounds. Moravian was just 1-of-10 on third down conversions and was outgained 417-185 on the day.

Oakland is a district in Pittsburgh east of Downtown. In it are many of the hospitals that serve Pittsburgh and most of the colleges and universities.
Get in
From downtown one takes Forbes Avenue east which is a one-way street that leads directly to Oakland. There are frequent PAT buses as well as this is a heavily travelled route.
Get Around
Although Oakland is essentially a location for schools and hospitals, there are many things to see and do there. Perhaps the most interesting for visitors is The Carnegie Library and Museums. There are three major sections in a single large building along Forbes Avenue:
There is a concentration of different colleges and universities in Oakland that is perhaps only rivalled in Cambridge, Massachusetts. These include, most notably, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, but there are many others, large and small, public and private.
Put some twenty thousand college students in a small urban area and you can be sure you won't go hungry. Or thirsty. If you've outgrown college food and college bars there are also a number of very good restaurants in the area.
There is always The O. The place for some of the best fries in Pittsbugh. All along Craig St. are restaurants ranging from Chinese and middle eastern to Subway.
Hemingway's - Forbes = Excellent food. $1 Beers, and food is half off from 9pm to 1 a.m. A good variety of items. Around $10 for a meal. The crowd is mostly frat boys.
Mad Mex - Atwood Street = Great food. Food is half off from 11pm-1am. Mexican food. www.madmex.com The employees are mostly punk types while the crowd is usually yuppie.
The O - Forbes = Cheap food. Extremely greasy. You can get giant piles of greasy french fries for cheap. It is a good place to go after drinking. Late hours. The place is filthy. You don't want to use the bathroom. It has a reputation for being dangerous, but there is always at least one cop there at all times. Most people go for the hot dogs, french fries, or pizza. If you are in Oakland, you should at least try the fries to say you have been there.
Fuel & Fuddle- Oakland Avenue = http://www.fuelandfuddle.com/ Good food. Vegetarian friendly. It has a hipster crowd. The prices are about $10 for a meal.
Hemingways - Forbes Avenue = $1 Miller Lites, microbrew selection, combined with the food, great place to drink. A lot of girls.
Gene's Place - Louisa Street = Really cheep drinks ($2.50 mixed, $2-3 22oz beers, $5.50 pitchers). No food. Some microbrews. Mostly guys looking to drink. If you are looking to drink cheap, here is the place.
Mad Mex - Atwood & Bates = Excellent beer selection (9 or so microbrews on tap, extensive bottle selection). The frozen margarita's are great. Expensive unless you come during a drink special (430-630 for happy hour, 9-11 for evening special). Great food if you like to eat while you drink.
Fuel & Fuddle - Oakland Avenue = http://www.fuelandfuddle.com/ The crowd is hipster. They have a large microbrew draft selection (12 or so) and an extremely extensive bottle selection.
Since this is a "college town", as well as a center of research and technology, there are numerous accommodations including most of the bigname chain hotels. In addition the area has very frequent bus connections to Downtown which is only a ten or fifteen minute ride to all the large downtown hotels.

Institute for Metropolitan Studies
While many of our most vexing urban problems are metropolitan in nature, they are often left unresolved due to the lack of appropriate governmental machinery to deal with metropolitan issues. The Institute for Metropolitan Studies was created to address these problems by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and general spirit of cooperation between San José State University and its surrounding metropolitan community.
Upcoming Event: Presentation May 2nd
For previous IMS events see the URBP events page
About the Institute for Metropolitan Studies
The major purposes of the Institute are:
Public Service
To assist community groups, non-profit organizations, private sector representatives, and public agencies to resolve urban problems by making available and orchestrating the extensive expertise of the University and community relevant to such problems.
Student Internships
To provide students in urban related program with an opportunity to integrate theoretical knowledge gained formally in class with internships involving real metropolitan problems.
To develop a set of case studies in the resolution of urban issues which would be published for use by the community and academic institutions.
The Institute conducts studies for both public and private entities focusing on a variety of urban and regional issues including housing, land use, economic development, transportation, and permit processing.
Site and Design Review
Working with both the private and public sections, the Institute reviews alternative design solutions for difficult sites.
Neighborhood Area Studies
In close partnership with local communities, IMS conducts studies of specific neighborhoods reviewing the social and economic characteristics as well as land use patterns and facilities. Based upon these analyses, it recommends neighborhood improvement policies, alternative land uses, and urban design strategies.
Computer Simulation and GIS
The Institute employs a variety of computer applications and experienced personnel in conducting site review and analyses. In addition, it utilizes Geographic Information Systems to improve the planning processes of local governments.
Transportation PlanningThe Institute conducts studies on traffic calming practices, perceptions of traffic congestion, the influences of transportation information on residential location choices, and pedestrian behavior.
Information Seminars and ClassesUtilizing the resources of San José State University, the Institute conducts seminars on a variety of subjects. It makes arrangements for speakers, publicity, facilities, and media recording/broadcasting of each seminar. In addition, IMS conducts full semester courses on specific subjects of interest to planners, local officials, the business community, and the public at large.
Projects and Seminars
Envisioning NeighborhoodsIMS has been developing information design techniques and digital tools for area analysis to envision neighborhoods with transit oriented development potential. Context matters, so data is best understood in a comparative context. Using small multiple replicate maps, charts and digital images, place comparisons are made across space, time, and scale. Scales start with parcels and include blocks, area within walking, bicycling, and driving distance.
Collaborative Neighborhood PlanningTeams of faculty and students from the Urban Planning Department at San José State University work as planning consultants in partnership with city staff, grassroots organizations, community leaders, and the community at large to develop an open and participatory planning process. These collaborative efforts result in neighborhood improvement plans and projects that accurately capture the strengths of the community as seen through the eyes of its residents, while also address its needs. In 2003, one of these plans, the Market-Almaden Neighborhood Improvement Plan, received the AICP Student Award, the American Planning Association California Chapter Academic Leadership and Service Award, and the Northern California Chapter American Planning Association Academic Project award.
Transportation Planning StudiesIMS principals have been collaborating with researchers from universities across the nation on projects that examine the potential for influencing residential location choice and commute behavior by adding transit information to an online home rental database; analyze how travel surveys can be modified to better capture walk trip lengths; compare bus lane violations in New York City and San Francisco; and study specific paths pedestrians choose when accessing light rail stops in Portland and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Guide to Planning in San JoseCommissioned by the City of San Jose Planning Department, the IMS developed Planning in San Jose, a Community Guide. Planning in San Jose is an introductory guide to land use planning for people unfamiliar with the process in the City, as well as for those already acquainted with the practice who want to learn more. It is a resource for residents, business owners, and property owners, as well as for developers interested in building in San Jose. The guide emphasizes opportunities to make a significant difference in the community by becoming actively involved in the planning process.
Watershed Protection in Trail DevelopmentWith a grant from the Santa Clara Valley Water District, the IMS is currently preparing a manual with guidelines for incorporating watershed protection measures in trail development in Santa Clara County. The manual presents methods to generate positive environmental effects on rivers, creeks, and streams in combination with recreation. Specific considerations include watershed protection techniques to ensure sensitivity to water quality, habitat issues, community concerns, and safety.
Evaluating Development Proposals in Your BackyardIMS cosponsored with Urban Ecology and the City of San Jose Strong Neighborhoods Initiative an interactive public workshop for community leaders, neighborhood activists, and urban planners. Workshop participants learned to utilize tools to look beyond the rhetoric and identify projects that are good for the community.

CRESTVIEW � Thursday marks a milestone for a Crestview couple�s relationship, and a rarity for most couples: 70 years of wedded bliss.
CRESTVIEW � Thursday marks a milestone for a Crestview couple�s relationship, and a rarity for most couples: 70 years of wedded bliss.
Friends and family of Marlin and Charlotte Bass, 89 and 87, respectively, filled First Baptist Church of Crestview�s fellowship hall on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the occasion. The couple, who married Dec. 20, 1942, celebrated an early anniversary to accommodate loved ones.
The Basses have three children, 11 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren who attended the celebration, which was open to the public. A new great-great grandchild was absent.
Although the party had plenty of cake, fruit punch and presents, the couple were too busy socializing to have any of it.
"I wasn't expecting this many people,� said Dudley Bass, 56, the youngest of siblings Jeffery Dean Bass, 63, and Dottie Lynn, 61.
Charlotte expected the packed house.
"We knew there would be a lot (of people) here. We are a very loving family," she said with a smile.
The crowd included several church members like Scotty and Jan Cline, who attend Sunday school with Basses.
"It's more than a milestone," Jan Cline said. "They are the sweetest people and the most dedicated Christians."
Jeffery traveled from Tennessee to share in his parents� special occasion.
"There are very few families who can have this type of celebration," he said.
And after 70 years, the couple are still going strong � literally.
"We are proud that they are in as good shape as they are,� Jeffery said. "They are pretty much independent� and drive around.
Others agreed.
"For their age, they get around great," Dudley said.
Relatives said the couple has stayed young at heart.
"They haven't seemed to lose their enthusiasm at their age," grandchild Janet Fitzgerald said. "They still have fun with each other."
An inspiration
Some of the younger family members marveled at the marriage�s longevity.
"It�s unbelievable that they have been together for that long," said great grandchild Lillie Gaillard, 10. "I know that (Marlin) was in World War II; that's pretty cool."
Her mother, Erin, found her grandparents� long lasting marriage inspirational.
"I think it sets an example for all of us," she said. "My husband, David, and I will be married for 14 years in February."
Their story
Marlin and Charlotte met through mutual friends while attending Munson School. The pair attended several social functions like afterschool parties together before their friendship bloomed into something greater.
"In the summertime of that year (1942) is when we decided to get serious," Charlotte said.
After their marriage, Marlin joined the U.S. Army for six years and served in World War II.
Post-military life meant trying different jobs like selling life insurance, working as a Gulf Power meter reader and moving onto the next thing.
"He has experience in everything," said Charlotte, who worked 22 years in the Okaloosa County School System.
The couple�s three children � who came after Marlin left the military � eventually helped the family grow to what it is this day.
Despite an enduring marriage that will span seven decades, disagreements arise, the couple said, but they manage to work things out.
"Time is a marvelous healer of all things," Charlotte said.
But a healthy marriage requires each other�s hard work, Marlin said.
"We worked through all of this together," Marlin said. "It was a cooperative effort all the way around."

Mariah Carey's Used Engagement Ring?
Mariah about to be on-fire?
Rumors are buzzing that Mariah Carey's engagement ring from Nick Cannon was actually recycled from his old fiancee Selita Ebanks!
The two rings on both the pop princess and Victoria' Secret model are eerily similar!
Take a look up-close and see for yourself!
UPDATE: According to Latina.com, the pair already got married yesterday! Mariah and Nick reportedly had a small wedding on an island with a few close friends including Da Brat. If it's true, congrats!
DO YOU THINK Nick the cheapskate took the ring back from Selita and gave it to Mariah?

Cities on the Move
Thoughts on urban growth from Kiel to Nairobi
I'm writing at the end of a long, dusty mission, after numerous plane, train and car journeys. In fact, 1/7th of my time has been spent on being transported from one city to the next; this gave me plenty of time to marvel at the diversity in city structures.
The first stop was Kiel, Germany, where I spent a few hurried days with academics, government officials, private companies and journalists, discussing solutions for pressing problems in trade and clusters and their impact on poverty and inequality. A city of around 280,000 residents, Kiel is small, about as dense as Dublin, and well-linked with the rest of Germany and Europe. It is one of multiple core-municipalities that form a system of cities around Hamburg along with Lübeck, Bremen etc. The train from the airport was relatively painless, and travel within Kiel (to shop for fresh bread and herring) consisted mostly of short walks.

Ah, but I only gave it a brief mention yesterday as I had completely forgotten that we're wrapping up The Year of the Inane. No, that's not a new Chinese Zodiac creature (The Inane - Similar to a macaw, but with more distinct features around its nether regions). Silly. Pointless. Unsubstantial. Shall I use it in a sentence? "This blog can be inane." Yes, I thought that might clear things up. Now to clear up what the heck I'm talking about, as how else would one cap off The Year of the Inane but with hundreds of thousands of dollars being shelled out to an unmarried, teenage couple, both of whom have not finished high school and who just had a child out of wedlock. (This story really is ridiculous, but I'll admit to playing it up a bit with the whole "out of wedlock" terminology there. I am not a fan of that phrase. First of all, it sounds a bit too much like "headlock", which you could end up with should you not choose wisely. But really, where/when else is it ever used? I've never said, "I'm going to see my two friends get joined in wedlock." Or "They've been in wedlock for about five years now." No, the word we use is married. Unless, apparently, you're knocked up. That's when you can your oven full of a bun are more than just "not married', you're "out of wedlock". As if you don't have enough problems as it is, being an expectant single mother and all, now you have to worry about the semantics of vocabulary to boot!)
But why, you ask? Why, oh, why is someone or something or some magazine shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars to unmarried, under-educated, premarital fornicators? (Oh, my mistake. Unmarried, under-educated, premarital fornicators in love. There. Is that better for all of you optimists? Oh, wait, optimists don't read this blog. Cynics and realists do. Well, at least eight of 'em do. Carry on!) Because this isn't your average, ordinary, run-of-the-mill teenage girl that got preggo. This preggo is the daughter of the hot, hot governor of Alaska who was once trying to become the hot, hot Vice-President of the US as the running mate of old, old John McCain. I, of course, am speaking of hot, hot Sarah Palin and her daughter, Bristol, who would be one half of the fornicating duo of Bristol and Levi. Levi being Levi Johnston, the son of Sherry Johnston, the official OxyContin dealer for the state of Alaska.
Word on the street (that is, if "street" = "Internet"), is that a certain celebrity news magazine (whose name I won't reveal just yet, but I will throw a teaser out there and say that the name of the magazine rhymes with "Sheeple". Chew on that for a while!) is shelling out (brace yourself) $300,000 for the baby photos of little Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston. (So in addition to Bristol and Levi, they now have Tripp and if you take the first initial from each name, you have BLT. I don't know what it means, but I'm sure it's provocative. And if it's not, well, at least I got to screw around with Photoshop for a while before I figured that out.) And I think that I can speak for all eight of you reading this right now when I say, "WTF?!"
According to The Scoop over there at MSNBC.com, "...bidding for the baby photos began at $100,000.
People Sheeple won out in the end, but In Touch was the only other weekly to make serious bids." (I only had one question after reading that. What the heck is "In Touch"? Sounds like a weekly circular for pedophiles.) They added that "...most estimates hover around the $300,000 range (none of the magazines would confirm the exact figure in the end, which is standard)." OK, so it's "standard" for the magazines to not confirm how large the ridiculous sum of money is that they are paying for pictures of a baby that probably looks like most other babies, because why now? Do the magazines think it will "look bad" if the public finds out that they're bidding, of all things, bidding on someone's baby pictures? It might. But if that's the case, I doubt that it would look as bad once the baby pictures appear on the cover of the magazine! (I can't be the only one seeing the irony in a magazine whose theme is providing every possible personal detail about anyone that they think the public might be interested in, yet they have "standards" and won't say how much they're paying for something.
Why so much? According to "an editor" (I guess they don't reveal names either), "The bidding started well before the baby was born, but once Levi's mom was arrested — well, then you had a story." HOW??? Just because the "Hillbilly Heroin" dealer got busted, the magazines assume that the public is once again interested in something that we weren't all that interested in to begin with? I don't see how the one connects with the other one and I certainly don't see how it connects to the tune of $300K.
And just to make the story really inane, they threw in this: "No word on whether the money will go to charity, as sometimes happens in a celeb baby deal." :::: sigh :::: I'll give you the word on that one. No. No, the money will NOT go to charity. Why not? Well, first of all, Bristol and Levi are eighteen. Eighteen year olds who just became parents (one of whom dropped out of high school to take a job on the North Slope oil fields as an apprentice electrician) do not donate $300K to charity. But the even bigger reason? THEY'RE NOT CELEBRITIES!! They're the daughter and possible future son-in-law of the governor of Alaska. That's all! So why it would be expected, "as sometimes happens in a celeb baby deal" that it would happen in this instance is beyond me. It's like saying, "No word on whether or not the new kitchen sponge that was purchased actually talks, as sometimes happens in a cartoon called 'Spongebob Squarepants.' " It doesn't talk because the sponge isn't Spongebob! It's just a sponge!
You know, this really isn't doing much for everything that we're supposed to tell kids not to do with their lives. They're not supposed to drop out of high school. They're not supposed to have sex. They're not supposed to get pregnant. They're not supposed to have a baby without being married. They're not supposed to have a mother who deals drugs. And the list goes on. But in this case, you have all of those things and what are the consequences? You get $300k and a bunch of pictures of your kid in People freaking Magazine when you're eighteen, for cryin' out loud! So what have we really learned?! Do not pass 'GO'. (In this case, you can't pass 'GO'. Where are you going to go without a high school diploma whilst you're raising a child? Not far!) But DO collect $300,000!
Ugh. Even for $300 grand, it still wouldn't be worth it to me to play host to an alien being for nine months before forcibly expelling it out of my uterus in a process akin to that of shoving a pot roast through my nostril. Not even close to worth it.

Welcome everybody to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. This is meeting number 39. We have some committee business at the top of our orders.
When we left the meeting the last time, there was a motion by Ms. Michaud and an amendment proposed by Ms. Chow. We are now debating the amendment, which says that the motion be amended by deleting the words "and obtain approval from municipal and provincial governments before the development of a new aerodrome is formally considered".
I had a list of speakers prepared. I had Monsieur Aubin and then Mr. Poilievre. We finished with Monsieur Coderre, so I'll open the floor to Monsieur Aubin.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – In an exhibition game against Waseda University, Tyler Kuresa hit a pinch-hit walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning to boost the Gauchos to a 2-1 win on Tuesday afternoon at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium.
In this game, the Gauchos primarily played a bullpen game with their pitching staff, using six pitchers total with no pitcher tossing more than two innings. Andrew Vasquez, Robby Nesovic, Kenny Chapman, Cameron Cuneo, Connor Baits, and Campbell Wear combined to pitch nine innings of one run ball, allowing only two hits and one walk in the process. Catcher Dempsey Grover led UCSB's offense with a 3 for 4 performance, including an RBI single. Scott Quinlan also added two hits for the Gauchos.
Waseda quickly got on the board in the top of the first, as Syota Nakazawa led off the game with a triple off the top of the right field wall. Nakazawa would then score on Shogo Nakamura's sacrifice fly, giving Waseda a 1-0 lead. Neither team would get a hit until Ryan Clark singled to right in the bottom of the fourth with one out. After Clark advanced to third from a wild pitch and a groundout, Grover came through with a two-out RBI single to left field to tie the game at one.
UCSB and Waseda would proceed to exchange scoreless innings until the bottom of the ninth inning. With one out, Josh Adams singled and was pinch-ran for by Andrew Calica. Joey Epperson followed by hitting a pinch hit single, putting runners on second and first. Coming in to pinch hit with two outs, Kuresa responded with an RBI walk-off single off Waseda's Sosei Kimoto, scoring Calica and giving the Gauchos their first walk-off victory of the season.
Campbell Wear pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings to record the win. Kimoto took the loss after allowing one run in 1.2 innings.
Andrew Vasquez started the game for the Gauchos, allowing one run in two innings with two strikeouts. The rest of the bullpen pitched seven lights-out innings and only allowed one hit. Yuhei Takanashi was the starting pitcher for Waseda and pitched four innings of one-run ball with five strikeouts.
Waseda's offense was quiet for most of the game other than the first inning. Nakazawa and Nakamura each had one of the team's two hits, and Shinnosuk Shigenobu drew the lone walk. Kosuke Adachi also contributed three shutout innings in relief of Takanashi.
This weekend, the Gauchos will head out for a road trip to Tuscon, Ariz. for a four-game tournament with the University of Arizona and Mississippi State. UCSB matches up with the Bulldogs first at 2:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced more than $4.3 million in grants to 13 institutions to study and improve our understanding of how certain organic compounds form in the atmosphere. The University of Iowa in Iowa City will receive a grant for their study, "Sources and Radiative Properties of Organosulfates in the Atmosphere."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced more than $4.3 million in grants to 13 institutions to study and improve our understanding of how certain organic compounds form in the atmosphere.
The University of Iowa in Iowa City will receive a grant for their study, "Sources and Radiative Properties of Organosulfates in the Atmosphere."
Research performed by grantees will help the federal government improve its air quality management systems and climate change models with respect to organic aerosol formation and help EPA continue its work of protecting people's health and the environment.
"This partnership provides a tremendous opportunity for groundbreaking research on air quality." said Lek Kadeli, principal deputy assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Research and Development. "By working together, we will be able to improve the accuracy of the air models that are used by states to develop plans to reduce air pollution and meet air quality standards. This research will also lead to more accurate climate models as we continue to study the impacts of climate change."
Support from EPA, along with that of the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Southern Company, and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) totals more than $20 million in research funding. EPA is also contributing staff scientists to work as part of this effort.
Researchers will have access to NOAA and NSF resources such as aircraft and towers to capture information about organic aerosols at multiple heights in the air and on the ground at the same time. The Southeastern Aerosol Research and Characterization (SEARCH) Network, a collection of air quality monitoring stations throughout the southeastern United States developed by EPRI and Southern Company will be collecting ground measurements, and providing access to current and historical air quality data and analyses. The researchers will use the collected data, and high quality models built from this data, to address emerging air pollution issues.
The EPA also awarded grants to the following institutions:
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin
SUNY, Stony Brook, New York
University of California, San Diego, California
Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, Michigan
Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia
Research Triangle Institute, Durham, North Carolina
Rutgers University, Newark, New Jersey
Reed College, Portland, Oregon
University of California, Irvine, California
Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
These research grants support EPA's Air, Climate, and Energy research program, providing integrated science to address complex air quality issues.
Aerosols are solid and liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere that impact our climate because they affect the amount of radiation from the sun that reaches the earth. Because aerosols have been tied to health impacts, they also play an important role in air quality.

BAYBORO � The Pamlico Hurricanes seemed to be in control.
BAYBORO � The Pamlico Hurricanes seemed to be in control.
They had the lead with four minutes remaining, and shut down Farmville Central on fourth-and-goal from Pamlico's nine-yard line.
It looked as though the Hurricanes were to set win their second game of the season.
However, in a matter of seconds, Farmville Central's Donquell Forbes reached up, snagged an interception and ran seven yards for the game-winning touchdown.
Quarterback NaQuan Gibbs ran for a touchdown and threw for another, but his costly throw at the end was the difference in Pamlico's 17-14 loss on Friday in Bayboro.
The Hurricanes are two plays from beating 3-0.
Instead, they walked away from Friday's game against Farmville Central sporting a 1-2 record.
For the second week in a row, the Hurricanes' offense gave the game away in the final moments. A fumble last week against Lakewood late in the fourth quarter was costly in Pamlico's 14-7 defeat.
�It kills you. It makes you sick to watch these guys work as hard as they are working and not get rewarded,� said Pamlico coach Kevin Yost.
�We are just not making the plays. We are so close, but when the game is on the line, we throw a pick and it kills you.�
Farmville Central scored on its opening drive, but not long after, Pamlico struck back with a 32-yard touchdown pass from Gibbs to Will Becton.
�It was a huge momentum shift,� Yost said. �I thought we were clicking early. To answer their touchdown after they went down and scored, that says a lot about their character.�
Gibbs scored on a 1-yard touchdown run as the Hurricanes took a 14-10 advantage at halftime. They carried that lead into the fourth quarter.
Gibbs passed for 74 yards and ran for 45. Becton had three catches for 39 yards, while Tarik Davis gained 35 rushing yards.
The Hurricanes racked up 123 yards (49 rushing, 74 passing) on offense.
�I'm proud of their effort. God, I'm proud of their effort,� Yost said. �If you win special teams and you win turnovers, you win the game.
�It's a lack of focus, attention to detail and execution.�
Pamlico's defense recovered two fumbles and limited Farmville Central's offense to gain 169 yards. Josh Jones had most of those yards with 87 on 19 rushing attempts.
Pamlico returns to the road next Friday against Edenton-Holmes.
