Government & Politics
Gov. Bobby Jindal’s budget shortfall | Gambit – Jeremy Alford elegantly summarizes Gov. Bobby Jindal’s budget gimmickry, which tries to veil the increasingly serious structural problems in the state budget:
Budgetary legerdemain is nothing new, but Jindal has made it a template rather than a failsafe — and he’s running out of one-time money to throw at recurring expenses. That means lawmakers will have to cut more — and deeper. On the chopping block are $60 million worth of pay raises for state workers; $40 million for a higher education incentive fund (known as WISE) that Jindal touted earlier this year; and $6 million in new money for higher education.
MAGINNIS: Green Army Absent from Capitol Battle | LaPolitics – Lt. Gen. Russel Honore’s “Green Army” movement seems to have gone AWOL as their opponents in the Legislature seek to derail a lawsuit to hold Big Oil accountable for coastal damage.
Senate rejects bill to limit drones in Louisiana | Associated Press – “A bid to limit the use of unmanned aircraft on private property in Louisiana stalled Monday in the Louisiana Senate.”
For all the breast-beating about diversions, decision to build them has yet to be made | The Lens – Ongoing cost/benefit research weighs more than a diversion’s land-building capacity. Other considerations include impacts on fisheries and flood protection in coastal towns.

Global Green Models How To Reduce Pumping In New Orleans | WWNO – Model homes demonstrate how roof gardens and other eco-friendly features can help the city better manage water.
Panel sets stage for sound limits on Bourbon Street | The Advocate – “A New Orleans City Council committee endorsed an ordinance Monday setting new sound restrictions for Bourbon Street, clearing the way for a full council vote later this week on an ordinance that has drawn passionate and loud debate for nearly four years.”
Justice Department to develop list of non-violent drug offenders worthy of sentence reductions | NOLA.com – “Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans, is backing similar [sentencing reform] legislation in the House. But not everyone is on board. Some have argued the threat of long sentences to lower-level drug offenders helps prosecutors build cases against so-called drug kingpins.”
Louisiana, 11 other states ban sodomy a decade after court ruling | NOLA.com – This is an angle I hadn’t seen: “While social conservatism plays a role in keeping unusable anti-sodomy laws on the books, [Human Rights Campaign legal director Sarah] Warbelow said lawmakers may also feel overwhelmed with having to rewrite statutes to accommodate concerns about aggravated sodomy. Some anti-sodomy laws, including Louisiana’s, use one statute to prohibit both consensual sodomy and aggravated sodomy. Opponents of the repeal argued that it would eliminate protections from oral and anal sexual assault.”

Here’s a spring festival that’s been around for ages. The 77th annual Dogwood Festival is set for April 19 through 21, 2013, in Piedmont Park, Atlanta, Georgia.
Although the excuse is that marvelous flowering tree, the festival also includes fine art, live music, cultural performances, a disc dog competition, both gourmet and festival food options and children’s programming.
Admission is free, but some areas and events require tickets. Several Midtown hotels have weekend packages featuring the fest.
The artists’ market is a juried selection of 250 participants in variety of media, from oil painting to jewelry to sculpture and fiber. The international village and stage highlights the diverse communities that make up Atlanta.
The music schedule includes a Saturday night concert. And the disc dog show? That’s talented canines taking to the field to run, jump and catch special dog discs. Note that pre-registration is required for this competition, and the city does not allow non-competing pets in the park.

Having a bedroom with a closet full of clothes is something most teens could easily take for granted. But in northern California, a population of youths have no homes or bedrooms, let alone closets, yet they attend school just like their peers. Laura Graham of Oakland, California made it her mission to provide homeless teens with gently used clothes, helping disadvantaged youth raise their esteem and fit in at the schools they attend.
Laura founded 1Closet in 2011 with support from her mother, Sue, organizing clothing drives through a partnership she created with local public and private high schools, collecting gently used teen clothing for youth living in the Alameda County and Contra Costa County Region. The collected apparel is then made available through boys and girls clubs, youth shelters, foster children organizations and county programs focused on helping teens. Laura and her team at 1Closet have collected more than 30,000 garments to outfit more than 8,000 teens.
“Once I started collecting clothes and donating them I saw how my small efforts significantly impacted others,” Laura explains. “It just felt right to continue giving and doing all I could to make the community a better place.”
Laura set the foundation for her cause. And when it was time to head to college, she developed a plan to sustain the efforts of 1Closet, seeking out a capable successor to carry the torch.
When she learned that 1Closet was searching for a new director, Riley Glasson jumped at the opportunity to continue the work of the Grahams. Since taking over as director in September 2014, Riley has created a permanent donation site, forged an ongoing partnership with a teen consignment store in addition to holding a clothing drive at a local college – as a result, individual donations have increased, creating room to support additional teen focused organizations.
According to Riley, “The most rewarding part of my experience doing volunteer work has been knowing that teens who struggled with confidence because of their lack of clothing can now feel more self-assured than they did before.”
Volunteer work has been an integral part of the lives of both of these teenage changemakers. Laura and Riley both urge others to find meaningful volunteer opportunities. “I would encourage everyone to find something they’re interested in or are curious about and get involved by doing anything, big or small to help with a cause,” Riley says.
Laura agrees, adding, “Volunteering is a very easy thing. To get involved you don’t have to start an organization or commit to anything. Just find something you feel passionate about or would be able to help with and look for people with the same interests.”

Maryanne Sawoski and the entire team at Continuity Care were amazing to work with. The nurses that took care of my mother were some of the best I have ever experienced. They managed her pain with professionalism, empathy and kindness - and handled anything and everything with absolute grace. She was as comfortable as possible given the circumstances. Our case manager truly cared for my mother, and advocated on her behalf - both to the hospice doctors, as well as the insurance company. I would highly recommend Continuity Care for any type of supplemental nursing needs.
I loved working for this company. I worked there from 2007 to 2016 and would still be there if I had not moved. The people were great to work with and I learned a lot while there. Maryanne was by far the best boss I ever had. As an employee, I totally got that I mattered to her company and she took a vested interest, not just in me, but all her employees

On this day in music history: March 26, 1977 - “Rich Girl” by Daryl Hall & John Oates hits #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 2 weeks, also peaking at #64 on the R&B singles chart on April 9, 1977. Written by Daryl Hall, it is the first chart topping single for the pop/rock duo from Philadelphia, PA. Hall is inspired to write the song after his girlfriend Sara Allen tells him about an ex-boyfriend she dated in college who was the heir to a fast food chain fortune. However he changes the subjects gender when he finishes writing it. Years later, “Son Of Sam” serial killer David Berkowitz reveals in an interview that “Rich Girl” had motivated him to commit some of the murders. Rumors also circulate that the song is about kidnapped heiress Patty Hearst, but is proven to not be so. The revelation that Berkowitz had somehow been influenced by “Rich Girl”, later moves Hall to write the song “Diddy Doo Wop (I Hear Voices)” included on Hall & Oates album “Voices” in 1980. Released as the second single from Hall & Oates’ fifth album “Bigger Than Both Of Us” in January of 1977, “Girl” is an instant smash. Entering the Hot 100 at #81 on January 22, 1977, it climbs to the top of the chart nine weeks later. “Rich Girl” is certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.

Answered by Tom Conner
Any business that has an element of recurring profitability has a value attached to it which should be protected in the event of a shareholder death. There are various methodologies applied to valuing a business depending on its type and size.
More often than not we will work in consultation with the company accountant to place a suitable value on your business and shareholding for the purpose of shareholder protection insurance. One of the most commonly accepted methods of valuation would be applying a multiple to the net profit of the company, basing your shareholder insurance cover on your proportion of the total shareholding.
It is important to recognise in addition to the valuation of the business to ensure the relevant trusts are in place to ensure your shares are dealt with accordingly. As part of our consultation process we will help you put in place all necessary trusts, with suitable executors appointed and a legally binding Cross Option Agreement which ensures that the wishes of all parties involved are adhered to.

Samsung recently launched its first smartphone with a flexible and foldable display, called the Galaxy Fold. The $2000 priced phone attracted everyone when it launched. The new Galaxy Fold was definitely a revolutionized creation in the history of the smartphone market. Unfortunately, the bad news came earlier last week when many smartphone reviewers around the world started reporting a major flaw in the display of the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
Many reviewers just a couple of days of their review test found various display glitches on the newly announced Galaxy Fold device. Now, to counter this Galaxy Fold display issue Samsung has officially decided to Postpone the launch of its Galaxy Fold smartphone Globally.
There is a very small tear at the top part of the hinge and after I poked at it, the screen got worse. I thought perhaps it was another removable layer. Tear may have been caused by removing it. But @stevekovach @backlon having similar issues without having removed the film. pic.twitter.com/9WCPmEMpB1
— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) April 17, 2019
Samsung later today via its official blog post confirmed that they have decided to postpone or delay the release of the Galaxy Fold. Samsung also noted that the company will announce the new release date in the coming weeks again.
According to the blog post, the initial findings from the inspection of reported issues on the display causing various glitches on the newly launched Galaxy Fold have been found associated with the top and bottom exposed areas of the hinge.
Below you can find the official statement from Samsung.
While many reviewers shared with us the vast potential they see, some also showed us how the device needs further improvements that could ensure the best possible user experience.
To fully evaluate this feedback and run further internal tests, we have decided to delay the release of the Galaxy Fold. We plan to announce the release date in the coming weeks.
Initial findings from the inspection of reported issues on the display showed that they could be associated with impact on the top and bottom exposed areas of the hinge. There was also an instance where substances found inside the device affected the display performance.
We will take measures to strengthen the display protection. We will also enhance the guidance on care and use of the display including the protective layer so that our customers get the most out of their Galaxy Fold.
The post also notes that there have been substances found inside the device that could have possibly caused the display issue on the Galaxy Fold.

JKNPP protests collapse of law and order in State
Kashmir situation fast reverting back to early nineties: Harsh
STATE TIMES NEWS
JAMMU: Expressing serious concern over the breakdown of administrative machinery in the State and attacks on Amarnath pilgrims, Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party staged a demonstration at Exhibition Ground here on Monday accusing the government of its utter failure to restore rule of law.
The agitated protestors, led by Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman JKNPP and former Minister and Yash Paul Kundal State President Young Panthers, raised slogans against the Coalition Government.
Addressing the media persons, Harsh rebuked the government for having failed to respond appropriately to the situation created in the wake of killing of Hizb Commander and the resultant turbulence witnessed in the Valley. He regretted that with dozens of people killed, hundreds injured and religious pilgrimage being assaulted, it was virtually a case of anarchy and lawlessness prevailing in Kashmir with no signs of government on the ground.
He said that the ministers had deliriously shun their responsibility thus allowing the situation to further deteriorate. Alleging total collapse of law and order with administration having lost control over the fast deteriorating situation, Harsh sought the intervention of the Governor under the powers vested in him by the constitution. He said that most alarming was the dis-arming of the security personnel who were ordered by the BJP-PDP govt. not to use force despite the gravest provocations of the saboteurs or inspite of the violent attacks by them. He cautioned that the fast deteriorating situation had the potential to revert back to early nineties and said that the unholy alliance between the BJP and PDP was squarely responsible for the same. He strongly condemned the attacks on pilgrims, security forces and police stations by the subversives and anti nationals who had virtually taken control of state of affairs in Kashmir. Holding the appeasement Policy pursued by the incumbent government responsible for the prevalent crisis, Singh said that the government had taken several nasty decisions at the behest of separatists and others anti national forces which had emboldened such elements. He said that non initiation of action against those waiving Pak flags and ISIS flags and showing disrespect to Indian Flag had emboldened the felons besides dampening morale of security forces. He regretted that the tale piece of the sordid story was the full support of the BJP to the Kashmir centric leadership in the highly egregious decisions compromising the national honour and security for the lust of power. While ridiculing the tall slogans of ‘zero tolerance’ against anti nationals given by BJP, he regretted that the saffron leaders had infact displayed infinite tolerance only to retain the role of junior partner in the PDP govt. He asked the BJP Ministers to resign in case they had the slightest concern for the public sentiments.

The Niger Delta University has maintained that its 2019/2020 resumption date remains November 8th which was contained in the bulletin/academic calendar for last session. In a brief interview with the institution’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr. Indoni Ingezi, the Officer noted that school have resumed since November 8th dismissing claims that the NDU is on flood holiday.
In an attempt to allude to the flood ravaging the homes of many students in the community, if such occurrence would not amount to closure of academic activities, the PRO noted that such decision is outside the boundaries of his office. He however noted that the committee of provosts and deans would meet to determine that if the situation calls for that.
The PRO also dismissed calls made to him that the NDU is currently on flood holiday. According to him, such holiday has never been conceived nor published this session and wonders where such news is emanating from.
Trying to push him further, we inquired about why no bulletin has not been released till date or if any would ever come out. In his response, the PRO noted that the last session bulletin also covers for part of the current session, hence, that bulletin still stands until further information is released from any of the institution’s relevant offices.
Recall that earlier, there has been frenzy over the resumption of this current session as to whether school will resume under the current flood situation or not. However, all attempts to get relevant confirmation from management has proved abortive till today. Many students and parents as usual have been waiting for management release of bulletin but management on the other hand has not done so.
What is of major concern to most students who are yet to resume now is the level of flood in their homes as they can even barely access their streets talkless of their homes. It is expected that since the dry season is here, the water would recede, hence, within two weeks from now, hopes should be high.
It has been populated that classes held yesterday and today but the level of seriousness of the resumption is still uncertain as most students are yet to resume probably because of the floods.
However, year one clearance and verification have started. All freshers are expected to resume immediately and commence their studies.
NEXT…. Students who received change of course information from NDU with different names, should they change their course?

He was therefore supposed to throw off his old Gentile state, as he threw off his clothes, and to assume a new character, as the baptized generally put on new or fresh garments." Comment. on Rom. vi. 4.
The last verse cited above, 1 Cor. xv. 29, has obtained many inter pretations, as the meaning of the apostle in the words, "for the dead," is not certain.
JOHN EDWARDS. "Some of the fathers hold that the apostle's argument in the text is of this sort: If there should be no resurrection of the dead hereafter, why is baptism so significant a symbol of our dying and rising again, and also of the death and resurrection of Christ. The immersion into the water was thought to signify the death of Christ, and their coming out denotes his rising again, and did no less represent their own future resurrection." In Stennett's Answer to Addington, p. 105.
MACKNIGHT. "Christ's baptism was-an emblem of his future death and resurrection. In like manner, the baptism of believers is emblematical of their own death, burial, and resurrection.” Apost. Epis. Note on Rom. vi. 4.
Inference. If faith PRECEDED baptism in the apostles' days, and the persons who received that ordinance had imbibed the influence of that ONE SPIRIT, and had put on CHRIST as the robe of righteousness, the spiritual adorning of their souls, hoping for their part in the first resurrection at His appearing and glory, it is most manifest, that none but a genuine convert to Christ could thus be baptized, or enjoy such high and delightful privileges.
§ III. Baptism illustrated by Events recorded in the Old Testament.
THESE are the LAST PASSAGES we find in the New Testament which relate to we subject of our examination.
1 Cor. x. 1. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2. And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
1 Pet. iii. 20. The long suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water. 31. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not
the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The better to understand the apostle Paul, in the first passage above, the reader would do well to peruse the account, in the Old Testament, in Exod. xiv., to which he refers. In verse 22, we are told, that the Israelites" went into the midst of the Red Sea upon dry ground," that the water divided, opening a passage for them, and forming "a wall unto them on the right hand and on the left." We also learn, that "the cloud" which had conducted them, now removed its situation; stood between the two armies, and overspread and concealed the Israelites from their enemies; that it was bright, and "gave light" to the former, while it was "darkness" toward the latter. It does not appear that any water actually touched the Israelites in any sense whatever; and hence, the word "baptized" must be used by the apostle in a figura tive sense; and if it has a reference to the mode, we have only to ask, Does the situation of the Jews, "IN the cloud, and IN the sea," best agree to sprinkling with water, or a total burial in it ? Pædobaptists of the highest celebrity will answer :—
"WITSIUS (says Mr. Booth) expounds the place to this effect. How were the Israelites baptized in the cloud, and in the sea, seeing they were neither immersed in the sea, nor wetted by the cloud? It is to be considered, that the apostle here uses the term 'baptism,” in a figurative sense, yet there is some agreement to the external sign. The sea is water, and a cloud differs but little from water. The cloud hung over their heads, and the sea surrounded them on each side; and so the water in regard to those that are baptized.'" In Pæd. Exam. Vol. I. p. 185.
WHITBY. "They were covered with the sea on both sides, Exod. xiv. 22; so that both the cloud and the sea had some resemblance to our being covered with water in baptism. Their going into the sea resembled the ancient rite of going into the water; and their coming out of it, their rising up out of the water." Ibid. p. 187.
By the apostle Peter, in the passage cited, we are taught that as Noah and his family "were saved by water," so baptism, the antitype of the water of the deluge, "now saves" the believer; not by a wash ing of his person, or a ceremonial purification, which cannot take away sin; but the water being a "like figure" in both cases, that is, EXHIBIT ING CHRIST AND HIS MERITS, the believer is saved by the SACRED REALITY signified. In this case, baptism is "The answer of a gooa conscience toward God:" both the answer given to inquiry at baptism, and the subsequent testimony of the mind to God, are conscientious, being in accordance with a sincere and heartfelt faith in the merits of the dying and rising Saviour.
OWEN. "I deny not but that there is a great analogy between salvation by the ark, and that by baptism, inasmuch as the one did repre
sent, and the other doth exhibit Christ himself." On Hebrews, Vol. IV. p. 138. Williams's Abr.
MACKNIGHT. "This answer of a good conscience being made to God, is an inward answer, and means the baptized person's sincere persuasion of the things which, by submitting to baptism, he professes to believe; namely, that Jesus-arose from the dead, and that at the last day he will raise all from the dead to eternal life, who sincerely obey him." Apost. Epist. Note in loc.
Inference. If the exercise of "a good conscience" is associated with the ordinance of baptism, in none but a believer in Christ can this union be realized.
CONCLUSION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.
HAVING now, my reader, completed the chief design of this pamphlet in transcribing and laying before you every passage of this sacred volume that relates to the subject of our inquiry, and contains any information, whether on the subjects, mode, or spiritual design of baptism, I have, I humbly hope, fulfilled the title I have assumed, in presenting you with "THE SCRIPTURE GUIDE TO BAPTISM.' Our Divine Master commanded us to "search the Scriptures," and I have no doubt but that it would meet with His gracious approbation if this plan were adopted, in reference to any subject pertaining to His cause or kingdom. "To the word and to the testimony," is an inspired maxim in theology, and one from which no Protestant will dissent. "Ye do err," said our Redeemer, "not knowing the Scriptures."
We ought, therefore, now to be able to answer the three inquiries proposed at the beginning :
1. Who are proper subjects of Christian baptism, according to the authority of Christ, and the practice of his apostles?
Answer. We have met with the baptism of many thousands of persons, and the ordinance administered on many different occasions; but we have no where found, through all this sacred book, any one person baptized (Christ excepted) that we have the slightest reason to suppose was not FIRST INSTRUCTED in the doctrines of the gospel, and had professed to BELIEVE; but this is either expressly testified, or so implied of all, as to leave no just ground of dispute.
II. By what mode should the ordinance be administered?
Answer. We have no where met with a single verse, word, or circumstance, which indicates the application of water, by pouring or sprinkling; but wherever any thing is found descriptive of this ordinance, IMMERSION (as the word baptism undeniably signifies) is plainly implied in circumstances, and confirmed by allusions.
III. What is its spiritual design, and in whom is it realized ? Answer. The passages that have been before us plainly indicate,
that it was the Divine intention that this ordinance should exhibit and teach the important change produced by the efficacy of grace on a sin ner, namely, his PURIFICATION from sin, and BURIAL as to the love and practice of it; his RESURRECTION to a new and religious life; the UNION and FELLOWSHIP into which the Christian enters with the Triune God; and his RISING from the dead, through his risen Lord, at his coming.
Here my pages might close: but when the subject of baptism was first brought under my own examination, and I had read with care these portions of Scripture; being taught from early childhood to consider infant baptism of Divine authority, I felt anxious to propose a FEW QUESTIONS to those competent to answer me and I conceived the generality of inquirers on the subject would feel a similar solicitude. On these questions I have obtained satisfaction to my own mind; and being desirous the reader, if disposed to propose the same questions, should enjoy the same satisfaction, I shall employ AN APPENDIX to the foregoing pages, in expressing those questions, and giving such answers as to me appeared CONCLUSIVE and satisfactory, Whether the reader may consider them so or not, I leave to his own judgment and conscience, and to the influence of that Spirit, whose office it is to "guide into all truth."
I shall support the answers by citations from eminent Pædobaptist writers, as I have done my foregoing observations; and sometimes give such extracts alone, as the best and most conclusive replies.
APPENDIX, PART I.
ON THE GROUNDS OF INFANT BAPTISM, ITS RISE, AND SUPPOSED BENEFITS.
1. Question. Although in the passages of Scripture you have cited, I have not found an express authority, either by command or example, for the baptism of infants, yet will Pædobaptist divines allow that no such authority is to be found in the New Testament?
Answer. BISHOP BURNET. "There is no express precept or rule given in the New Testament for baptism of infants." Expos. of the Articles, Art. xxvii,
MR. S. PALMER. "There is nothing in the words of institution, nor in any after accounts of the administration of this rite, respecting the baptism of infants: there is not a single precept for, nor example of, this practice through the whole New Testament." Answer to Priestley on the Lord's Supper, p. 7.
LUTHER. "It cannot be proved by the sacred Scripture, that infant
baptism was instituted by Christ, or begun by the first Christians AFTER the apostles." (In Pæd. Exam. Vol. II. p. 4.) See also GOODWIN, BOSTON, LIMBORCH, and BAXTER, at page 44 of this pamphlet.
2. What then are we to make of those words of our Saviour, and his subsequent conduct? Mark x. 14, 16. "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them."
Answer. If, when our condescending Saviour took these children in his arms, it had been added "and he baptized them," instead of the words "and blessed them," then this passage with propriety might be adduced, and, indeed, would have decided the subject; but as the Holy Spirit has recorded the circumstance, it no more refers to infant baptism, than to infant communion, or infant circumcision. It is certain Christ did not baptize these children, for he never baptized at all, John iv. 2; and if his disciples, who baptized for him and by his authority, had been commanded by their Lord to baptize infants, it is certain they would not have "rebuked" the parents or friends of these children for bringing them.
But this passage, by fair inference, and implication, contains an argument against infant baptism. Here you observe parents bringing their children to Jesus to crave his blessing upon them; or, at least, that he would "pray," Matt. xix. 13, that the blessing of heaven might attend them.
Now let me ask, If baptism would have brought these children into the covenant of grace, or into Christ's church, or secured to them any spiritual benefit, would the Lord Jesus have concealed that circumstance from these parents, and from his disciples ? Would he take them-in his arms and bless them,' and give them back to the parents without baptism, and without a word upon that ordinance? Was it ever known that any spiritual benefit was sought from him and he bestowed it not? Here the spiritual good of these children was sought at his hands, and if baptism was the key, the seal, the door to all the spiritual blessings of the covenant of grace, (as Pædobaptists often describe it,) would the Lord Jesus refuse it, or send them away without it? This is impossible; and, therefore, I infer that infant baptism is no part of the will of Christ, that it can communicate no good, and ought not to be observed. Some of the most learned Pædobaptists are aware that this passage serves not their cause.
POOLE'S CONTINUATORS. "We must take heed we do not found infant baptism upon the example of Christ in this text; for it is certain that he did not baptize these children. Mark only saith, He took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them." Annot. on the place, in Matt. xix. 14.
BISHOI TAYLOR. "From the action of Christ's blessing infants, to

USA TODAY reports the study examined 3,932 actors who spoke at least one word in the 100 top-grossing films of 2013.
Fewer than 5% of actors in top Hollywood films are Hispanic, though they make up 17% of the population. The study determined the group to be the most underrepresented, even though Hispanics bought about 25% of all movie tickets and are more likely to be moviegoers than any other group, according to the Motion Picture Association of America.

Stunning phenomenon sees bubbles freeze into breathtaking ‘snow globe’ domes before popping in the bitter winter wind
This incredible phenomenon sees bubbles freezing into breathtaking “Snow globe domes” before popping in the bitter winter wind.
Eye-watering temperatures of -40C in Alberta, Canada, gave light to a real blink-and-you’ll-miss-it phenomenon, witnessed by high school chemistry teacher, Jason Zackowski.
Forming bubbles in the stunning snow-clad regions of Red Deer, the transparent domes begin to visibly freeze, as ice crystals slowly form on its outer exterior, before popping under the strain of the blistering breeze.
Swirling back and forth, the crystals create a mesmerizing display reminiscent of a shaken snow globe, as the tiny iced particles dance back and forth.
39-year-old Jason, who has set up his own Instagram to document his scientific photography, said: “It feels pretty incredible to experience this phenomenon first hand.
“I could’ve sat and watched these little snow globes form all day, but I probably would’ve died from the exposure to the cold.
“The bubbles form because the soap in the mixture creates three layers.
“Between the inner and outer layer, a razor-thin layer of water is sandwiched in between. This water freezes, creating the snow globe effect.
“It was very windy, with a chill of around -46, which is why the bubbles popped so quickly.
“Each one was completely unique and as beautiful as the last.
“There needs to be frigid temperatures for this to happen, so it’s a very rare occurrence and always very exciting.”

FTI seeks waiver of diesel excise
Energy policymakers admit fuel prices poised to rise
The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) is calling on the government to temporarily waive the diesel excise tax to allow it to better manage borrowing to continue the diesel price subsidy programme.
The suggestion was made as energy policymakers admitted on Friday that diesel prices, currently capped at below 30 baht a litre, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices, which are fixed at 318 baht per 15-kilogramme gas cylinder, are likely to increase as subsidies from the Oil Fuel Fund are running low.
The ongoing subsidy programme is based on the Dubai crude oil reference price of US$100 a barrel, but global oil prices, which soared towards $130 earlier this week, look set to skyrocket as the Russia-Ukraine war shows no sign of abating.
If the government does not charge diesel excise tax, it will help control diesel prices, relieving its loan burden and allowing it to continue the subsidy, said Kriengkrai Thiennukul, vice-chairman of the FTI.
The Prayut Chan-o-cha administration earlier agreed to cut diesel excise tax by half for three months to cap its prices at below 30 baht a litre. Motorists are usually charged diesel excise tax at 5.99 baht a litre.
The measure is being used along with subsidies from the Oil Fuel Fund.
The Oil Fuel Fund Office (Offo) already spent 23 billion baht subidising diesel and LPG, which is used as cooking gas. It has only 7 billion baht in subsidies remaining and a loan of 10 billion baht, expected to be received soon, to support the fund.
Offo officials expect the fund to be used up in May.
"From April, we plan to reduce the LPG subsidy by increasing the retail price to 333 baht, up from 318 baht," said Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow.
"We are also looking for measures to cope with the higher price of diesel."
In the view of the FTI, eliminating the diesel excise tax is an option for the government if it wants to better manage its loans that support the Oil Fuel Fund, said Mr Kriengkrai.
"We understand the global situation and the government's burdens. The business sector is aware the subsidies will not last long," he said.
Representatives from 45 member industries in the FTI were urged to find measures to cope with the impact of the war.
Truck-pooling, using digital technology to increase energy efficiency and a shift towards renewable energy have been suggested, said Mr Kriengkrai.
"These measures can help save on energy costs by 10-20%," he said.

Just something to think about…
Have you ever really stopped to think why you believe what you believe? If you have any religious or spiritual beliefs, what prompted you to form them? If you are a Christian for example, why did you choose to be a Christian? Was it because that is what you were taught growing up? Is it because most of your friends/family share that belief system and you want to fit in? Is it because you want blessings in return or fear going to hell? Or it is because you truly love and want to live those beliefs?
Now, once you have an idea in mind of why you chose your beliefs, think about who those beliefs serve. Which of the reasons are self-serving and which are others-centered? If you chose your beliefs because that is what you were always taught or because all your friends and family share the beliefs, who benefits from that? Have you just taken the path of least resistance? Are you afraid to question those beliefs for fear of being ostracized, bullied or left out? If so, is that a good reason to believe something?
If you chose your beliefs because you fear the punishment of hell or desire rewards here or in heaven, who benefits from that? Is it selfish to choose a belief system based on what it can give you or to avoid the fears of hellish punishment that have been instilled in you? Is it materialistic to live a good life only because you want a nice mansion or big crown in heaven when you die? How many people keep some kind of tally in their head of good vs bad deeds, trying to do just enough good stuff to require whatever fulfillment they believe will get them into heaven? How selfish is the “gospel of prosperity” as some people have called it? Do you believe that if you do ‘right’ you deserve good things and that those who don’t have good things have obviously failed to live right (as I have heard some Christians say)?
Now, what about if you chose your beliefs because you truly loved them and wanted to live them? Do those beliefs make you want to serve others? If you are a Christian, do you truly like the things Jesus did and do you try to emulate those actions regardless of how unpopular they may be? Do you want to defend and help heal the weak and the hurting? Do you put the welfare of people before tradition? Do you want to actively participate in God’s spiritual kingdom here on earth and make things better for others while you are here, or are you just surviving until you can leave the earth? Do you find meaning in reaching out to others rather than in being entertained or catered to? Is your comfort more important to you than the basic needs of others?
Of course, no one can answer these questions for us. It is something that requires deep thought and honesty. It makes us see the parts of ourselves we may not like or may make us question what we have always thought. I ask myself these kinds of questions often and sometimes they are hard to face and reveal, but I have a deep desire to be authentically about helping others. So many of us take our selfishness into our religion…and that shows. People know and it turns them off. I hope that maybe we can all someday see that true love and spirituality can never be just about “us”, “our kind” or “our wants and needs”.

Herb Kohl Rumors
Negotiations are under way among the Milwaukee Bucks, city and state officials on how to pay for a $500 million new arena or face franchise relocation. The Bucks’ current owners, Marc Lasry and Wes Edens, have committed $150 million, and the former owner, Herb Kohl, has committed $100 million. Republican Gov. Scott Walker, a presidential hopeful, has proposed borrowing $220 million, but his party’s legislature is fighting him on it and wants the state’s contribution to be closer to $150 million.
As for the arena, Lasry acknowledges its shortcomings. The Bucks’ home locker room is outclassed by that of many major college programs, and their practice facility is an annexed building of a Catholic archdiocese. Lasry and Edens have pledged $100 million to build a new arena, as has former owner Herb Kohl. They are still searching for ways to fund the rest, while the location has been narrowed down to three sites. Lasry says they hope to settle on one in the next month or so, after which things should begin to move quickly. “It is a process, and it’s challenging,” Lasry said. “We are trying to get the best site where we can do the best for the city. For as many people who want you to do something somewhere, there are as many people who don’t want you to do something somewhere.”
So, it wasn’t surprising that when Kohl recently sold his NBA franchise, he didn’t forget about the people who worked under him. You may have read where Kohl gave gifts of $500 to employees at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, where the Bucks played their home games. What you haven’t read, though, is that Kohl’s generosity extended much further. He also bestowed significant financial gifts to others in the organization, from secretaries to sales personnel to basketball operations officials. The amount Kohl gave those employees varied and was based on different criterion, not the least of which was longevity with the organization. Some Bucks employees received $40,000 while others received nearly $100,000. And there were even some individuals who were given checks that one person close to the situation described as “life changing.”
There was widespread chatter among Bucks officials and even some NBA executives that Kohl was livid with Hammond and, if he had maintained ownership of the team, would have fired him after the season. But Hammond, the NBA’s Executive of the Year in 2009-2010, is still overseeing the basketball operations and Drew is heavily involved in draft preparations. Thursday, during an informal gathering with a group of media, Lasry and Edens expressed their support for Hammond, Drew and Morway. “I think, on the basketball side right now, John, David and Larry, at least from all the dealings we’ve had, they have been doing a great job,” Lasry said.
The Milwaukee Bucks are officially under new ownership, as the NBA’s Board of Governors unanimously approved the sale of the team Thursday from Herb Kohl to Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry. Lasry and Edens, New York-based hedge fund billionaires, agreed to purchase the franchise from Kohl for $550 million on April 16. It took nearly a month for the deal to become official, but the Bucks now are no longer under the control of Kohl for the first time in 29 years.

Meghan McCain Celebrates Whoopi Goldberg's Birthday with Throwback Pic Posing with Her Late Dad
Meghan McCain expressed for the second time in months how much her co-host on "The View," Whoopi Goldberg, means to her as she sent the iconic star a sweet message on her birthday.
In September, "The View" premiered its 24th season with hosts Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Meghan McCain, and Whoopi Goldberg, who celebrated her 64th birthday over the weekend.
Since Meghan McCain joined the team of hosts four years ago, she developed unwavering respect for Goldberg - a feeling she shared most recently in celebration of Goldberg's birthday.
ADMIRATION FOR GOLDBERG
Two weeks after season 24 of "The View" premiered, McCain took to social media with a message to Goldberg. Appreciative of the difference Goldberg makes in her life, even if it still feels "surreal" to her, the 35-year-old wrote:
"Love you Whoop, thank you for your unending support, friendship and political perspective — I continue to learn from you every day."
On November 13, McCain sang Goldberg's praises again as the star celebrated her 64th birthday. McCain posted a picture wherein she and her late father, Senator John McCain, flanked Goldberg and shared heartfelt words in the caption.
"You bring so much light, wisdom, kindness, empathy, and joy into this world. It is a privilege to work with you and call you a friend. I hope you have a wonderful day filled with all the love, laughter, and happiness you deserve. I love you so much!" McCain wrote.
MORE TO CELEBRATE
McCain's show of admiration came shortly before she welcomed her first child with 38-year-old Ben Domenech. Since she announced news of her pregnancy on March 22, McCain kept her pregnancy private. However, after her daughter's birth late September, she proudly shared that they decided to name her Liberty Sage McCain.
McCain called her "classy" co-host a dependable person, and one she couldn't wait to share the special day with.
With the new addition to her family and the start of the new season of "The View," McCain is looking towards the future, even though she doesn't always agree with the perspectives of her co-hosts, including Goldberg.
During a discussion in December last year, McCain and Hostin couldn't see eye to eye during a political discussion. As both hosts refused to back down, Goldberg stepped in and told McCain to keep quiet. McCain didn't appreciate the sentiment and soon expressed her dismay on social media.
ANOTHER SPECIAL BIRTHDAY
Relatedly, Meghan McCain makes sure to show her other co-hosts on "The View" show how much they mean to her as well. When Hostin turned 52 on October 20, McCain sent her a sweet shoutout.
Thanking Hostin for her loyalty as a friend, McCain called her "classy" co-host a dependable person, and one she couldn't wait to share the special day with, in person and with a bottle of bourbon.

Here in what I hope is a clickable link is Loie Fuller in 1905, when she was smiting the sensibilities of such as Auguste Rodin and William Butler Yeats.
And here she is on her return tour in 2016. Marmoreal now as an image by Rodin, she has gone static at last, and her beauty no longer needs to scowl with the effort of becoming.

Chapter 1: History
Back in the early 1970s when I was a child, a "computer" was a monstrosity the size of a house, costing $1,000,000.00; only large corporations or government agencies could own one.
At Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California, where I took some classes in the early 1970s, they had an IBM 360, then the king of the mainframes. Its CPU was the size of a walk-in deep freeze, its two hard disk drives were the size of kitchen stoves, and its five tape drives were the size of refrigerators. Its printer was as big as a washer/dryer set, and made more noise than an entire Laundromat! The computer room (about seventy feet square) looked very much like a fancy appliance warehouse. That was a "computer".
Then, around 1973, the first "home computers" came out. A typical example of these early home computer was the "IMSAI 8080". This nifty machine had a front panel with lots of little lights to indicate the binary status of each bit of each register. It was programmable in machine language only. Needless to say, these early computers never attained widespread popularity.
Then a year or two later, two gentlemen named "Steven" -- Steven Jobs and Steven Wozniak -- built a small computer in their garage in Silicon Valley which was programmable in a simple programming language called "Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code", or BASIC. The first practical home computer, the "Apple II", was born. True, one still had to learn BASIC to use it, but BASIC is a lot easier than machine language, any day.
In the middle and late 1970s, home computers proliferated, and prewritten software became the norm, rather than having to write your own programs in BASIC. One of the most popular computer lines of this era was the "Tandy Radio Shack", or "TRS" line.
Then around 1979, The IBM corporation decided to enter the home computer market with a machine which would both out-perform other home computers, and also set hardware and software standards for future designers. This computer was the "IBM PC", and its big brother the "IBM XT". IBM hired an until-then obscure computer nerd named Bill Gates and his tiny company "Microsoft" to write the operating system for its new home computers. Bill Gates created what he called "MS-DOS", which was basically a stripped-down drastically-simplified version of UNIX (the operating system used by most large computer systems, both then and now), and sold limited rights to IBM, who resold it as "PC-DOS" with its PCs and XTs. But in a business blunder of enormous proportions, IBM failed to secure the copyrights on MS-DOS. Bill Gates retained those. This blunder changed the face of the computer industry drastically and forever, both for better and for worse./P>
For Bill Gates wasted no time selling MS-DOS to a lot of other computer manufacturers, and soon Microsoft had a near monopoly on the world's small-computer operating systems. As IBM floundered, Microsoft and Bill Gates became enormously wealthy.
In the mid 1980s, two things happened. Firstly, the two Steves, Jobs and Wozniac, struck again with a new computer called the Macintosh, which had a very user-friendly graphical operating system using cute icons instead of cryptical file names and command codes. And secondly, Microsoft immediately came out with it's own version of the Macintosh's operating system, and called it "Windows". (Well, Windows 2.0 and 3.1 were actually just "Graphical User Interfaces", not true "operating systems", to be precise... but that's a whole other story.) The long rivalry, continuing to this day, between Apple Macintosh, on the one hand, and IBM-compatible computers (all running MS-DOS and Windows) was born. Macintosh was always the more user-friendly, but IBM clones running MS-DOS and Windows have always been far more numerous, and have a far richer range of software and hardware available for them.
And that brings us to the current day. Perhaps about 90% of the world's small computers are now IBM clones running Microsoft Windows 98, with the other 10% being all other computers combined. And the percentage of middle-class households owning a computer has risen from 0% in 1970 to about 75% in 1999. A huge change in a mere 29 years!
And yet... many of us are still at a loss to know how to use a computer. The technology has changed so fast that we were not able to keep up. How does one go about learning to understand these contraptions known as "computers"??? Well, that's were I can help. Read on.
Chapter 2: Analog or Digital?
Most-generally speaking, a "computer" is any device that "computes", or performs mathematical tasks. Computers exist in two basic types: "analog" and "digital". Analog computers use pysical quantities such as voltage, fluid pressure, stress, string tension, etc., which are proportional to -- "analogs" of, that is -- the numbers one wishes to process.
Analog computers tend to be very application specific. One example is the diaphram in a gas pressure regulator. Another is the central mechanism of an automotive carburator. Another is a bow. (Double the pull-back distance, and you double the string tension, and consequently the force on the arrow, which doubles the take-off velocity. A very simple, elegant analog computer.)
Digital computers, on the other hand, are much more versatile and non-application-specific. All of the home computers used today are digital. Digital computers work by converting all of the numbers they process into digits, usually binary digits. Thus to add 5 and 7, a digital computer calculates like this:
Binary (base 2) numbers are used because of the ease of designing digital logic circuits that use two primary voltage states called "Hi" and "Lo", and because of the ease of converting the basic rules of logic (which are based on "Yes / No" questions and answers) into digital circuitry, and because transistors switch back and forth between full-on and full-off much faster than they could track intermediate voltage values.
So do you have to learn binary arithmetic to use a digital computer? No, not at all! But to understand what is actually happening inside that mysterious ecru-colored box on your desk, it helps if you know that the numbers are all converted into zeros and ones before processing.
Chapter 3: Bits & Bytes & Big Numbers
All those individual ones and zeros your computer calculates with are called "bits", and most of those bits are oraganized into groups of eight, called "bytes". Thus a single bit is either a "1" or a "0", while a byte is any of 256 possible patterns of eight ones and zeros in a row. For example, the binary addition problem in the chapter above is actually one byte being added to second byte, to produce a third byte.
To facilitate talking about large amounts of data, certain shorthand terms have come into use in computer circles. Specifically, the following prefixes have been adapted to indicate large numbers of things:
- "Kilo-" means "thousand"
- "Mega-" means "million"
- "Giga-" means "billion"
- "Tera-" means "trillion"
Thus the phrase "five Kilobytes" means "five thousand bytes", and the phrase "seven Megabits" means "seven million bits".
Also, "bits" is abreviated by a small "b", while "bytes" is abbreviated by a large "B". Thus "4GB" means "four billion bytes", while "4Gb" means "four billion bits", an important difference.
Chapter 4: Basic Home Computer Layout
A home computer consists of several basic parts which work together. In this chapter we discuss those parts and how they function. Most of these parts are inside your computer. Don't be afraid to take the cover off your machine and take a look. (But don't set screwdriver to anything or move any jumpers until you know what you're doing!)
The brain of your computer is an integrated circuit ("IC") called a "Central Processing Unit", or "CPU" for short. Some of the most popular CPUs in use today are:
- Intel 486 (slow, but still in use in older computers)
- Intel Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III (good, reliable CPUs)
- Intel Celeron (low performance junk; designed for the "common man")
- AMD K6, K6-2, K6-3 (good stuff; better and cheaper than Intel)
- Cyrex (I've heard these are pretty crappy; don't use 'em.)
CPUs are rated by speed, which is measured in MegaHertz ("MHz" for short). One "Hertz" is one clock cycle per second, so "300MHz" means "300 million clock cycles per second". I recommend at least 300MHz to run today's software. I've used 200Mhz machines at work and they seem slow as hell.
The CPU is the brain-power of your computer, so be sure to get a computer with a decent one! I'd recommend nothing short of an AMD K6 or an Intel Pentium. If you want the absolute best, it's probably an AMD K6-3/500. This is a powerful CPU with a 64-bit internal bus, running at 500MHz. It runs about 2-3 times faster than most other popular CPUs in use today.
Your CPU plugs directly into the main circuit board inside your computer, which is called a "motherboard", since it acts as "mother" to lots of ICs and plug-in cards. The motherboard holds the CPU, RAM and ROM memory chips (more on these later), plug-in cards, and connectors and cables heading off to all the other parts of your computer (keyboard, mouse, printer, hard disks, floppy disks, CD-ROM, etc.). If you buy a computer with a decent CPU, it will probably have a decent motherboard in it. If you build your own computer, however, you will have to shop for a motherboard which supports the kind of CPU you want to use. (But that is a topic for advanced computer afficionados only!)
Your Read-Only Memory, or "RAM" for short, is your computer's short-term, scratch-pad memory. The contents of RAM dissolve the instant you turn your power switch off. Your computer uses RAM to hold all of its currently-running programs. The larger the capacity of your RAM, the more programs you can have running at once. If you plan on running Microsoft Windows 98 and several large applications programs designed for Win 98, then I recommend at least 128MB of RAM, and preferably 256MB. Many computers come with far less RAM in them, but if you use anything less than 128MB of RAM with today's modern software, you will get repeated error messages such as "Insufficient Memory To Open Program" and "Invalid Page Fault" and "Your system is running dangerously low on resources". I am currently using 64MB, and I get such errors if I run more than 2 or 3 programs at once. I really need 256MB.
The "Power Supply" in your computer is that box with the fan in it, the power cord coming in the back, and all the wires hanging out on the inside of your computer. This is the "heart" of your computer. It provides all the power that drives your CPU, motherboard, and plug-in cards. The two popular types of power supply in use today are AT and ATX. The AT power supplies are an old but reliable design. The ATX power supplies have added features, such as turning your system on or off, or putting it in "sleep mode", by pressing keys on your keyboard rather than manually flipping the power switch.
When you first turn a computer on, the first thing the CPU does is to start reading and executing whatever is in its "Read-Only Memory" ("ROM" for short). The ROM is the computer's main program. On simple application-specific computers (such as the ignition controller in your car), all of the computer's program is in the ROM. But in a home computer, only the most basic part of the program is in ROM. This is called the "Basic Input Output System", or "BIOS" for short. The BIOS tells the CPU how to interface with the keyboard, the mouse, the video monitor, the hard and floppy disks, the CD-ROM, the printer, and other hardware.
The first thing the BIOS does is read your battery-supported CMOS RAM. The CMOS RAM contains your system settings, including the number of heads, tracks, and sectors on all of your hard disks, and other basic hardware information. BIOS needs this data so that it knows how to instruct the CPU to interface with your hardware. You can access your CMOS setup data by holding the DEL key down while turning your computer on, and keeping it held down until the CMOS setup screen pops up. But don't change anything in there unless you know what you're doing! If you enter the wrong data, your system may not start. When in doubt, read the manual for your computer or motherboard. If you can't find the manual, or you don't understand what's in the manual, call your vendor.
Your hard disk contains your operating system, your programs, and all of your data. I recommend nothing less than a 4GB hard disk, and 10-15GB disks are already common.

To the editor:
“Beware the Ides of March” (March 15) took on a whole new meaning to me this year.
I had a stroke without warning. The pre-cursors, of which I have none, are high blood pressure, diabetes, being overweight, smoking and drinking alcohol. My symptoms were not the norm either. I just knew that one side of my body wasn’t working right.
My husband promptly called 911 and we were off to the emergency room at Wilson. I was one of the lucky ones who arrived within the three to four hour window and qualified for the drug tPA. This has made my recovery a much shorter process. The drug continues to affect recovery up to six months after it is given.
The reason I am writing about my experience is to make people aware of the urgency that a stroke requires. Get to the hospital as soon as it presents itself. Thinking that the feeling in one side of your body will return after you rest for a while can have tragic results. There is a short window of tPA (the magic potion).
I am not in the medical field; I am just sharing my experience. But I was shocked to hear many say there were not aware how important it was to get help at once.
At this time I am back to about 90 percent of where I need to be for a full recovery. I attribute this to the excellent care I received first at Wilson emergency room then at Miami Valley Stroke unit and Upper Valley rehab. I then came full circle back to the Wilson for six weeks of rehab after getting home.
I feel blessed and thankful.
Please check with the American Stroke Association for additional information.

guerrilla type of force, which could spread terror along the enemy coast.
On the 4th

LANCASTER — The Moorpark College women's basketball team found the barometer game for which it was searching.
Foothill College of Los Altos, ranked No. 2 in Northern California, played for the state championship in March and reached the final of the 16-team Gilcrest Invitational earlier this month.
And although the No. 7-ranked Raiders didn't quite measure up, falling 64-55 in the semifinals of the Antelope Valley Holiday tournament Saturday night, they left with an honest progress report.
"This was a good game for us to see where we're at," Moorpark coach Lindsay Goldblatt said. "We have a lot of room to grow."
Moorpark (9-3) saw its four-game winning streak snapped despite 21 points and nine rebounds from sophomore Katie Lenik and being in control for most of the first half.
"We knew, coming into the game, that we had the advantage inside and we wanted to exploit that," Goldblatt said.
Lenik kept her team in the game, scoring 10 straight points for the Raiders after Foothill took its biggest lead, 51-40 with 7:16 to play.
Sophomore Gabrielle Root, who added 10 points, buried a 3-pointer to pull Moorpark within 58-55 with 1:35 left.
But Foothill, which was 14 for 18 at the line, made six straight free throws to put the game away.
"I think they're a very talented, very well-coached and very disciplined team," Goldblatt said. "They take advantage of your mistakes."
Chelsea Salom had a game-high 22 points for Foothill (9-3), which has suffered its three losses to the regions' top-ranked teams, Mount San Antonio (South) and Fresno (North).
Freshman center Riley Abraham, the reigning Western State Conference Player of the Week who had averaged 18 points and 16 rebounds in the last four games, was held to five points and five rebounds.
"She had a couple of misses early and it seemed like it affected her," Goldblatt said.
Camilla Chun, Root and Allison Dobner hit 3s as Moorpark jumped out to a 16-9 lead. Foothill used a 10-1 run that bridged halftime take a lead it wouldn't relinquish.
Ventura men reach another final
Zalmico Harmon had 15 points and eight assists, Jaylin Airington had 16 points and the Ventura College men's basketball team earned a berth in its fourth tournament final of the season with a 72-59 win over Contra Costa Saturday night at the Sequoias Pepsi-Holiday Inn tournament in Visalia.
Joseph Soto scored 14 points, Najee Salaam had 10 points and nine rebounds and Anthony Morman added eight rebounds for Ventura (14-1).
The Pirates will play Sequoias, which beat Consumnes River, for the title today at 4 p.m.
The Pirates won their fifth straight, continuing their torrid shooting by going 14 for 16 from the free-throw line and 9 of 20 from 3-point land.
Both Airington and Soto made 4 of 6 from beyond the arc. Airington made three straight 3s late in the first half to balloon a four-point lead to a 45-29 halftime cushion.
Behind 18 points from guard Davion Mize, Contra Costa (6-2) pulled within 58-49 with nine minutes left but VC held firm.

I have a disease called Hailey Hailey Disease (HHD). It's very rare, and most people (even doctors) have never heard of it. It's also known as Chronic Benign Familial Pemphigus. It's hereditary and affects families without regard to ethnicity or gender. There's a lot of medical terminology that I could use to explain it, but that's just jargon.
Here is what it means to me. On a daily basis. For a lifetime.
- My skin doesn't heal quickly or normally. Small cuts or scrapes or bug bites usually turn into full-blown sores. Sores that won't heal and usually get infected. I may have these sores for months. Even antibiotics don't help that much anymore. I really believe I've become immune to them.
- Sweat or stress or friction makes this disease worse. It aggravates the skin and causes it to break down. It splits and tears and blisters and itches, and it damn well hurts!
- The only drugs that REALLY help are problematic for your bones, your liver or cause weight gain. And other body parts that I don't even know about. I've tried lots of different drugs, drugs that require regular blood tests and all sorts of other invasive tests.
- Some of those with HHD swear by vitamins or diet changes. Those things haven't worked for me, although I am glad they have worked for them. I don't think this disease affects everyone the same way.
- Some people suffer all the time with open sores in their groin area or armpits. I usually get it wear my clothes are causing friction ... waistband, bra straps or on my neck (if I make the mistake of wearing a necklace). Sometimes it is on the backs of my legs. It makes it hard to sit down.
- It's painful. It gets infected easily. It may "drain" sometimes.
- It's depressing, and it affects your personal life.
- Clothes can be very uncomfortable. I work in a business office and I'm required to wear business-type clothing. Some days, by 5 p.m., I am literally in tears and the pain is almost unbearable. And I feel like I have a high tolerance for pain.
- It keeps me from exercising like I want to. Again, the sweat causes the skin to break down. And it hurts to do anything sometimes.
- It changes the type of clothes I wear. I have to be comfortable, and I have to hide any scarring.
- It's very painful. I hate it.
- I do not have it all the time, but maybe 75 percent of the time. I'm grateful for "clear" weeks.
I want to be better. I just don't know what to do next.

Very soft, with a wonderful drape. The yarn does split but after working with it for a while I have no problems anymore. I will order again.
Very soft and love the colors
Very soft, I bought it for a project that required light weight yarn. It's the exact same thickness or maybe slightly thinner than the friends 8/4 yarn I have which is labeled as super fine so I'm really not sure how this got labeled as light. Going to make something else out of it and I'm sure it will feel amazing but I just wanted to warn anyone who thinks this is light weight yarn. WPI for what I got is 17-18. Still, really like it, just not what I was necessarily looking for at the time.
Very soft but absolutely full of little partially broken strands, and random tufts that stick out of the yarn. The yarn splits like mad, is loosely spun, and is thinner than some #2 weight yarns I have.
The partially broken strands and random tufts are the biggest issue imo, and each of the 3 balls I bought of this yarn are absolutely riddled with them.

A Piece of UConn History:
Looking Back From 2003
By Mark J. Roy
[ Index to UConn History ]
120 Years Ago - In 1883, the first graduates of Storrs Agricultural School received their certificates during a commencement ceremony held at the old Storrs Congregational Church. Six boys graduated, and each delivered a paper on an agricultural research topic. The commencement speaker on June 27, 1883 was J.M. Hubbard, a member of the Board of Trustees from Middletown.
110 Years Ago - In 1893, the school became Storrs Agricultural College, and formally accepted women as students; they had been taking classes informally since 1891. Also in 1893, SAC was designated as Connecticut' s land-grant college and Yale sued the state over its loss of land-grant status. A three-judge panel ruled three years later that Yale should receive damages of $154,604, but that the state could designate whatever institution it desired as its land-grant designee.
105 Years Ago -In 1898, immediately after graduation in June, four of the 14 graduating seniors joined the U.S. Army to serve in the Spanish-America n War. One of the four, Willis Hawley, visited Storrs on leave in late September. Two months later, on Nov. 18, 1898, Hawley died of typhoid fever at a Red Cross hospital in Philadelphia. The first graduate to die while in military service, Hawley was remembered with the naming of the campus armory built in 1914.
Also in 1898, George Flint succeeded Benjamin Koons as president of Storrs Agricultural College. Koons became the first president emeritus and continued to teach and serve as director of the Museum of Natural History. Flint was to have a brief and controversial tenure: accused of trying to move the agricutural college toward "classical education", he was forced to resign in 1901.
75 Years Ago -In 1928, Charles Lewis Beach retired as president of Connecticut Agricultural College, after serving 20 years as president. He had been a faculty member from 1896 to 1906, but after two years at the University of Vermont, he was called by trustees to return to Storrs as president. During Beach's tenure, the college saw its first major building expansion, with the construction of Hawley Armory, the Mechanic Arts Building, Koons Hall, a dining hall (now the Benton Museum), and Holcomb Hall. Started during his presidency, Beach Hall was named for him when it was dedicated in 1929.
70 Years Ago -On Sept. 15, 1933, Beach died, five years to the day after his retirement and 25 years to the day after he began his presidency in 1908.
60 Years Ago -In 1943, nine Japanese-American students began classes at the University of Connecticut. The nine had been interned in camps with their families after the outbreak of World War II. UConn was the only institution of higher education in the state to accept Japanese-American students through a government program that allowed the students to complete their education.
Also in 1943:
50 Years Ago - In 1953 - Football season opened in the new Memorial Stadium; a bill to replace the Board of Trustees with a Board of Regents was defeated in the state Senate; and the student newspaper, the three-times-a-week Connecticut Campus, became the Connecticut Daily Campus.
40 Years Ago - In 1963 - Homer Babbidge was inaugurated as UConn's eighth president. He succeeded Albert N. Jorgensen, who retired the year before after 27 years as president. Babbidge held the office for 10 years, stepping down in 1972.
30 Years Ago - In 1973 - Glenn Ferguson, president of Clark University in Worcester, Mass., was named UConn's ninth president. During his five-year tenure, the University administration was reorganized, moving from a provost system to a cabinet of vice presidents. Also, 1973 was the last year diplomas were issued on real sheepskin.
20 Years Ago - In 1983 - UConn launched its first capital campaign. Known as the "Second Century Fund," the campaign garnered more than $50 million in donations, more than double the campaign goal of $25 million.
