Punk Lewis pulls a "Tim Poe"
We got emails last night from a bunch of folks who were pretty upset about one of the members of their unit in Afghanistan who was embellishing his record in order to build a myth around himself. Apparently, golf blog Bunkers Paradise wrote an article entitled Punk Lewis – A Combat Hero Turned Golfer. In the article, they wrote about the incident that took Lewis out of the war;
Punk Lewis was injured on August 31st, 2009 in Logar Providence in Afghanistan. While conducting combat operations, insurgents launched a complex attack against the squad Lewis was in. During the ambush multiple rocket-propelled grenades (RPG's) struck the patrol, causing Lewis several injuries. The wounds included Traumatic Brain Injury, dislocated jaw, nerve damage in his right arm, lower and upper spine damage, and short term memory loss. Due to these injuries, the United States Army decided to medically retire Punk Lewis from the service. Lewis was awarded a Purple Heart, Combat Infantryman's Badge, Two Army Commendation Medals, Army Achievement Medal and a Good Conduct Medal.
According to witnesses to the incident, what really happened was that an Afghanistan National Army soldier accidentally discharged his RPG rocket launcher and Lewis, along with several others, were caught in the back blast area (when the rocket motor ignites and sends a stream of burning gases and fuel out the back of the tube behind the gunner). Witnesses tell me that there were three other people between the RPG and Lewis who were not injured. From one email;
This guy, Specialist Victor Lindbergh Lewis, was in my unit when we deployed to Afghanistan in 2009. We were in 3rd Platoon, B Company, 1-32 IN and attached by orders to 3-71 CAV (B Troop 3-71 CAV went with our Battalion to Kunar and our company went with the CAV to Logar). At the time he was the Platoon RTO but on Facebook he claims he was a scout/sniper (he attended a week long designated marksman course at Fort Drum). On top of claiming to be a scout/sniper he has somehow managed to be awarded THREE Purple Hearts, obtain an 80% disability rating but play golf nearly everyday since going to WTB/WTU back in 2010.
On a patrol in Charkh District, Logar Province, Afghanistan in late August 2009 he claims he was back blasted by an RPG which caused spinal damage, PTSD, mTBI and a bunch of other problems. However, there were at least 3 other Soldiers between him and the ANA firing the RPG, none of those Soldiers were injured and he himself said he was fine. He managed to get CASEVAC [casualty evacuation] from Charkh all the way back to Bagram and then from there back to the states. Once in the states he continued to have different problems pop up (back injury, shoulder injury, nerve damage here or there, etc…) and finally was transferred to [Warrior Transition Unit/Warrior Transition Battalion].
Every Soldier who served with him and knew him are in a RAGE about his Stolen Valor. He is shamelessly trying to secure all the free goodies and benefits he can and taking away from the REAL wounded Soldiers from our platoon.
Apparently, he was calling himself a scout/sniper on his Facebook page but after the kerfuffle in the comments of the Bunkers Paradise article, he's removed all of that stuff. While on the subject, you can read the comments at the article and see him get called out by members of his former unit. One young lady in particular is quite exercised.
According to emails we received, Lewis was in the same platoon as SSG Brandon "the Bullet Magnet" Camacho who has the dubious honor of earning five Purple Heart medals in as many years. That seems to be the source of much of their ire.
You can also see Punk Lewis' comment in which he announces to his compadres that he "fixed" his Facebook profile.
ADDED: Since Lewis and his editor at Bunkers Paradise want to play stupid games, here's their stupid prize. A screen shot of his Twitter conversation in which he claims he went to sniper school and has 3 Purple Hearts (thanks to SSG S for the screen shot;

Excellent walleye fingerling production from the Garrison Dam (9.7 million) and Valley City (1.3 million) national fish hatcheries resulted in a record 11 million walleye fingerlings stocked into state waters.
Jerry Weigel, North Dakota Game and Fish Department fisheries production and development section leader, said with a record number of walleye waters across the state, there has never been a larger demand for walleye production. "We are fortunate to have the production capability of the two federal hatcheries to help address this demand," he said.
According to Weigel, spring rains raised water levels at many fisheries across the state, resulting in conditions that should be good for survival of the 30-day old fish that averaged about 1.25 inches in length when stocked.
Altogether, 110 lakes and rivers were stocked in North Dakota, including 4.3 million fingerlings in Lake Sakakawea, 863,000 in Stump Lake, 495,000 in Lake Darling, 329,000 in Lake Ashtabula, 321,000 in Heart Butte Reservoir, 218,000 in Paterson Lake, 205,000 in Bowman-Haley Reservoir and 200,000 in Lake Metigoshe.
One common observation Weigel noted while traveling across the state was the amount of fishing taken place, both from shore and from a boat. "There has never been a better time to fish for walleye," he added. "Statewide, there are a lot of great opportunities, and a very good chance of success."

W. Somerset Maugham
Maugham, Somerset
Somerset Maugham (William Somerset Maugham) (môm), 1874–1965, English writer, b. Paris. He was noted as an expert storyteller and a master of the technique of fiction. An introverted child afflicted with a stammer, Maugham was orphaned at 10 and sent to live with his uncle, a vicar. Although he later studied medicine and completed his internship, he never practiced, having decided at an early age to devote himself to literature. He lived in grand style, spending much of his life on the French Riviera and traveling widely, particularly to East Asia and the South Pacific. Maugham wrote with wit, irony, and scrupulous observation, frequently expressing an aloofly cynical attitude toward life. Famous as a dramatist before he became known for his novels and short stories, he achieved his first success with the sardonically humorous play Lady Frederick (1907). This was followed by a series of commercial successes, the best of which are The Circle (1921), Our Betters (1923), and The Constant Wife (1927).
Maugham had written eight novels before his breakthrough masterpiece, the partly autobiographical Of Human Bondage (1915), appeared. It is the story of the painful growth to self-realization of a lonely, sensitive young physician with a clubfoot. Maugham's experiences as a World War I spy in Russia are reflected in Ashenden: Or, the British Agent (1928), a work that strongly influenced such later writers as Graham Greene, Ian F leming, and John le Carré. Maugham's other famous novels include The Moon and Sixpence (1919), based on the life of the French painter Paul Gauguin; Cakes and Ale (1930), satirizing Thomas Hardy and Hugh Walpole; and The Razor's Edge (1944), dealing with a young American's search for spiritual fulfillment. Frequently his writings, notably the short stories "Rain" and "The Letter," use as background the exotic places he had visited. In his later work Maugham limited himself primarily to essays; The Art of Fiction: An Introduction to Ten Novels and Their Authors (1955) is representative. He was one of the most successful writers in the world during much of his lifetime, but by the early years of the 21st cent. his works had largely faded into obscurity.
See The Skeptical Romancer: Selected Travel Writing (2009, ed. by P. Iyer); his autobiography, The Summing Up (1938); biographies by T. Morgan (1980), A. Loss (1988), R. Calder (1989), J. Meyers (2004), and S. Hastings (2010).

LOS ANGELES -- A violent pawn shop robbery on Wednesday sparked a police chase across three California counties, a carjacking, an eight-hour lockdown for thousands of college students and staff, and the arrest of three suspects, including one within sight of Los Angeles' police chief at a charity event.
Two suspects remained at large early Thursday but the lockdown at California State University, Fullerton ended at 12:10 a.m. local time (3:10 a.m. ET).
The chase began after five men wearing ski masks and armed with handguns robbed at pawn shop in Moreno Valley at about 3 p.m. (6 p.m. ET), shooting an employee of the store.
The clerk was shot four times and underwent surgery at Riverside County Regional Medical Center, where he was in a critical but stable condition on Wednesday night.
Pawn shop clerk shot 4 times in robbery that sparked pursuits, campus lockdown
California Highway Patrol officers responded to a call describing the suspect vehicle and followed it to Fullerton.
At 3:47 p.m., the pursuit ended after the car exited the Orange (57) Freeway and stopped after it was involved in a minor collision in front of the university campus, Fullerton police Sgt. Jeff Stuart said at a news conference.
Nearly 10,000 students were at the university preparing for next week's finals when two men ran onto campus, where one was immediately taken into custody. The other man fled and was seen going into the school's Mihaylo Hall, where business and economics are taught, Stuart said.
The school activated the lockdown at about 4 p.m. local time (7 p.m. ET), sending a text to students telling them to stay where they were, The Associated Press reported.
The three other men headed southbound from campus. One was taken into custody, and another carjacked a vehicle and led authorities on a high-speed chase. The driver blew through several stop signs and red lights in residential areas of Compton.

The man abandoned the car in the Watts area of Los Angeles and ran through a crowded area before surrendering on a baseball field at Imperial Courts Recreation Center, which was hosting a toy drive held by the Los Angeles Police Department.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck was among those attending the event and chased after the suspect as he headed toward the baseball diamond, away from dozens of police officers gathered at the park.
Chris Bugbee, a spokesman for Cal State Fullerton, told NBC that police had captured a total of three suspects, but two remained at large.
Stuart said SWAT team members were searching the area.
"A large number of students were able to flee the building where the suspect ran into. They've been evacuated from the campus. Those students and staff members that are still on campus are in what's called a shelter in place," Stuart said before the lockdown was lifted. "Our goal is to go around and rescue those individuals as we do our search. This is going to be an all-night operation."
He added: "It's a huge campus, so it's a very daunting task."

A student in one of the locked-down buildings said he witnessed officers checking every classroom.
"A cop came running through and he said, 'They have guns, they have guns,'" said another witness, Shant Fermanian. "So all these people started rushing so me and my cousin, we looked up, and we just got out of there as soon we can. We had no idea what was going on."
Fermanian said he saw a man, who was later taken into custody, run around a nearby building but did not see any weapons.
Christine Accetta, locked down in McCarthy Hall, tweeted a photo about 6:30 p.m. (9:30 p.m. ET) of a barricade students created inside a classroom. Four hours later, Accetta tweeted: "We have been released!"
Ain't nobody getting through our barricade! #calstatefullerton #lockdown @abc7 @ktlanewsdesk @ktla @nbcla @cbsla twitter.com/tkdgirl718/sta…— Christine Accetta (@tkdgirl718) December 13, 2012
Another student, Raquel Mireles, said the university had been regularly in touch with students via text message with updates on the developing situation.
"They're just trying ... to keep us safe," Mireles said, who said she was in College Park. "They're being really helpful. The cops have come through and told us to stay calm."
She said the blinds had been closed in the classroom she was in, and chairs had been placed in front of the door.
"The lights are off. We're kind of just all huddled together right now," Mireles said.
While she talked on air to NBC4, a loudspeaker announcement told her to evacuate the building.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

from wikipedia: Ad hominem abuse
Ad hominem abuse (also called personal abuse) usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to invalidate his or her argument, but can also involve pointing out factual but ostensible character flaws or actions which are irrelevant to the opponent's argument. This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and even true negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do with the logical merits of the opponent's arguments or assertions.
- "You can't believe Jack when he says the proposed policy would help the economy. He doesn't even have a job."
- "Candidate Jane's proposal about zoning is ridiculous. She was caught cheating on her taxes in 2003."
I was accused yesterday of making "ad hominem" attacks in our arguments in support of fair trade of "e-waste". As a high school debate team champion (my crowning achievement to date, Arkansas state competition, 1980 Soooeeee!) I take very seriously any contention that I'm not logically supporting my argument, but drumming up personal, unrelated accusations against an opponent to sway people.
In my view, an ad hominem attack is being made on electronics technicians and recyclers overseas, when professional technicians and engineers are accused of working in "a primitive wire-burning operation". I've done a search of my past and best ewaste blog posts. Aside from the April Fool's day post (which I would still argue is not ad hominem), I find pretty clean arguments. I do address e-waste recycling earnestly, and strongly believe that an export ban has serious unintended consequences. I believe that the e-Stewards model is a case of "the perfect being the enemy of the good" when it attacks ISRI and R2. I believe that the issue which sets R2 and e-Stewards certifications apart are the possibility R2 holds out that possibly an overseas factory might be a good recycling option, that possibly it may be legal, and that possibly it could become a certified and legal end market. I have sided with R2 because of my personal first hand experience with these companies, some of whom are the original equipment manufacturer or assemblers, which are themselves overseas, taking back product very similar to the ones they take back for warranty returns. BAN's arguments in print are illogical: If R2 allows a perfect, non-polluting manufacturer takeback program in India to be certified, that "therefore" R2 will allow pollution to be shipped overseas, or "therefore" R2 violates international law. BAN's argument should be taken seriously, but breaking good stuff people need is not the best or only solution to the problem they pose, and R2 by definition certifies that the export must be legal in both countries.
In my most direct appeals to an individual at BAN, such as this open letter to Jim Puckett, I am trying to find the right balance between defending good people doing good things in other countries, and "attacking". I think the best way to put the dispute behind us and to serve my friends overseas is the "California Compromise", wherein a state which is losing so much money breaking working equipment can lose a little less money by supplying the repairable assets directly to the overseas buyers.
In this article in Toxics News from January, 2010, Jim Puckett made the following quote:
BAN members alleged that Ingenthron was not aware of the latest clarifications by convention stakeholders with regard to exports of e-waste for repair. "The truth is Robin has been trotting out his own very self-serving interpretation of the Basel Convention," Puckett continued, "unaware that the Basel Parties have carefully examined the issue and created guidelines that refute his notion that export for repair is outside of the Convention."Now, I don't consider that an ad hominem attack on me. I am conscious that the article names my company, that the title is "Toxics News", and that it's critical. But I think the allegation that my position on reuse is self-serving is fair. Wrong. But fair.
You see, my company in Vermont sells to the factory which we propose CA SB20 sell to. Once that happens, California's 9000 CRTs per DAY, supplied from ports on the Pacific, will completely flood and erase my own company's purchase order. California will be selling into a market which another logical CEO might have wanted to remain a secret so that they could continue to sell into it.
Now, calling BAN the "Ayatollah of E-Waste" is a little closer to an ad hominem attack, though it isn't one because they are not an Ayatollah. I sat on that accusation for several years, and only went public with it after 8 years of standstill on the Basel Convention Annex IX dispute.
The "ayatollah" characterization makes a couple of points. First, they act holy and scare people. By "acting holy" I mean that they treat argument over what international law actually says as equivalent to ignoring the law (their interpretation being the "correct" one), and declare those who disagree with them (Bob Tonetti, ISRI, John Lingelbach, WR3A) to be "guilty violators of international law". The "violation of law" is an allegation. In real law, you can hire a lawyer and make your case. For example, at times I think BAN conflates the "Ban Amendment", which they wish to be law, with the Basel Convention, which most countries have signed into law. An ayatollah is one who has read the Koran and who people go to for advice - mostly people who have not read it. There are good Ayatollahs. I do confess that in the USA, the term brings to mind those who use their position as go between to make political maneuvers, essentially playing prosecutor, judge and jury.
If the Koran says it is a sin be cruel to a dog or a goat, it raises ire when someone never tells that side of the Koran and, because they want a political war on the battlefield, ignore the peaceful passages and emphasize only an obscure passage from when the Prophet was entering a battle. That is the analogy I am making to the Basel Convention, which is not a bad document, and which specifically defends nations rights to support repair and reuse of electronics.
BAN knows the difference between the Ban Amendment and the Basel Convention, and knows the difference between Guiyu and Foxconn. But they speak publicly to reporters and activists who do not know what the Basel Convention says (e.g. that two nations can consider an export of a CRT for repair to be "a commodity and not a waste") and I find it sometimes unclear whether they are representing the bureaucracy (Basel Secretariat), the Ban Amendment, or the Convention. People assume they are representing the Convention, when they have taken an obscure, unratified draft proposal on mobile phones made public by the Basle Secretariat and state that my ignorance of the phone document's "decision tree" (which follows more the Ban Amendment) to refute my citation of ratified Annex IX language. It's as if a small group meeting in Switzerland can agree to a document which trumps the rights to repair explicitly stated in the Convention itself. If a memo on cell phones - which never applies cell phone procedures to Cathode Ray Tube factories or even mentions them - is used to get governments to stop those SKD factories from taking back out of warranty monitors in addition to monitors they take back under warranty... ironically, that makes the case of the opponents of the USA ratifying treaties.
Opponents say that if the USA signs a reasonable treaty, that the treaty can later be amended or interpreted by an international bureaucracy without represesentation from the USA or balance of powers we are accustomed to. I'm not an opponent of congress ratifying the Basel Convention, but these arguments of caution are not without merit.
A lot of time passes with no response to articles which genuinely question BAN's position on export of used products for repair, refurbishment, and even recycling if no toxics are released or disposed of. The USA exports raw ore - copper, lead, etc. - to smelters in China, and the raw ore and blister copper contains more mercury and lead than any e-scrap... but evidently, because it is mined from a mountainside, it is a "commodity", and the copper wire and lead battery which are cleaner and 50x more pure are a "waste".
China is starting a campaign to define things like the copper wire and dry lead as "green wastes", because China needs the raw materials. China just doesn't like the secondary market. The Communist Party owns manufacturing, and plays "planned obsolescence" games the same as Japanese and USA companies.
My point is that I am most stern when defending other people, usually the technicians overseas and the recyclers like Ms. Vicki in Mexico. But also academics like Eric Williams, Ramzy Kahhat, and Josh Lepawsky, and people like John Lingelbach (mediator of the R2 discussions) and Bob Tonetti of EPA (and now Unicor). I believe that my harshest blogs have been in response to attacks. I hope that I have not made an ad hominem fallacy. I hope even more that BAN will see the opportunity to donate CA SB20 goods to my company's end markets, and put me out of business, the good way. In the process, we can get away from the Fads and Fallacies.
I believe that California's supply would be better for our friends overseas, and would put Basel Action Network and my organization, WR3A, on the same side for a change. The United Nations GAID program could get 20,000 computers per year in the bargain (offered as a donation by the recycler who would receive and refurbish the monitors).
If the tone of this blog has become more critical in the past year, it is because factories we have visited, very promising shops which would probably have turned into long term infrastructure for the developing nations they are in, have been shut down. I have a letter sent to the factories in Indonesia which buy CRTs and refurbish them, some in ISO14001 certified operations with incidental breakage properly recycled, which tells them they cannot do it any more. This occured AFTER I wrote what I felt to be a very balanced entreaty, "We Shouldn't Have to Make That Choice", which E-Scrap News republished as an Op-Ed last December.

The Apollo PropheciesNicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick
Availability: SOLD OUT
The Apollo Prophecies depicts, in one extravagantly long duotone panorama, an imagined expedition of 1960s American astronauts. Landing on the moon, they discover a lost mission of Edwardian-era astronauts who greet them as long-awaited gods. Part Jules Verne, part Stanley Kubrick, the panoramic moonscape literally unfolds in episodes that intermingle artifacts from early-20th-century exploration with space-age gadgetry. Using digital photography, the artists combine real-life locations, miniature models, and full-scale props of their own devising to produce a dramatic narrative played out by space-suit-clad astronauts (and similarly clad monkeys and elephants). This is an Apollo lunar mission both dreamlike yet oddly familiar—and utterly convincing.
Included in this ingenious package is a 16-page booklet with a mind-bending narrative illustrated with four-color mixed-media drawings.
Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick (born in New York City and London, respectively) have been collaborating since 1986. Their work is in the collections of the Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Massachusetts; Brooklyn Museum; Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Philadelphia Museum of Art; and the Smithsonian Institution, and many private collections. Residents of the New York region, they are represented by Yancey Richardson Gallery, New York; Pepper Gallery, Boston; Paul Kopeikin Gallery, Los Angeles; Lisa Sette Gallery, Scottsdale, Arizona; Irvine Contemporary, Washington, D.C.; and Carl Hammer Gallery, Chicago.

We lost yesterday 55-47, but we only had 5 guys so I had to pace myself throughout. Only a single sprint all game to successfully stop a break, clean the glass.
Had 1 block, around 10 boards, at least 4 dimes on football-pass outlets, and I had 6 points, all off of offensive rebounds including one tap-back.
So it was a good game I think. Also, foul trouble; caught 2 in the first quarter and I had 4 in the Fourth so I spent most of the final period standing and watching on drives to the hole, I couldn't afford to pick up another foul and leave our team with 4 guys on the floor.
Dumbbells, squats, and we will come back next week to bang it even harder.
Record: 1-2

Editor's note: Welcome to the Hispanic Heritage Month "A Trip to" series here on Latinaish. Join us as we virtually visit different Latin American countries through the photos and words of people who live there, have lived there, or have visited and have a lot of love for that particular place. Today Diana Caballero of Speaking Latino shows us around Chile!
I had the opportunity to visit Chile during the best time of the year: Fiestas Patrias! My husband lived there for three years and he always talked to me about how wonderful Chile is especially when they celebrate their independence. At some point I became friends with a Chilean living in Miami and she introduced to me some of the Chilean food and culture that reinforced to me that Chile was a must-do trip. So a full year of "campaigning" to visit Chile began with Jared and finally attending this year's Fiestas Patrias celebration became reality for me.
Pio Nono street crosses from North to South in the Bellavista neighborhood in Santiago. It's a street with a lot of restaurants, bars and galleries. The Bellavista neighborhood has a bohemian mood with colorful buildings. This street also takes you to the Metropolitan Park that includes a zoo and funicular that takes you to the top of the San Cristobal hill where you have an almost 360 degree view of Santiago.
In 1962 the Chilean rodeo was declared a national sport and it is also commonly performed during the celebrations of Fiestas Patrias. This photo shows several Chilean rodeo national champions that met at the Padre Hurtado Park (ex Parque Intercomunal de la Reina) as part of the celebrations of the Semana de la Chilenidad. All participants wore the traditional Chilean Huaso attire.
Almost all Latin American countries have their own version of an empanada. In Chile the most popular is the empanada de pino. Pino is the filling made from beef, onions, raisins, one black olive, and a portion of hard boiled egg. These empanadas also have a distinctive way of folding and sealing the dough.
In addition to the fondas, the cueca dance and the barbeques, the Chilean Fiestas Patrias also include traditional games played by kids. Hopscotch is one of those. Chileans refer to it as luche, but its also known in other countries with many different names such as infernáculo, rayuela, peregrina and avión. Other traditional games played during this celebration are: the Chilean rayuela, la rana, palitroque and taca taca.
The figure of the organ grinder or organillero in Latin America comes from Germany where the first instruments came from in 1880. Organilleros in Chile are usually seen in conjunction with the traditional chinchinero, a street performer who plays a bass drum strapped to his back with long drumsticks and a rope tied around to the performer's foot to play the cymbals on top of the drum.
I think you would like to experience a terremoto in Chile. Terremoto means earthquake, but I am not talking about a real one. This one is just a drink. The terremoto drink is made with pipeño, a sweet white wine, fernet or grenadine and a scoop of pineapple ice-cream that floats on the top of the drink. Depending on the size it can be named differently: cataclismo (cataclysm) for a big glass or réplica (aftershock) for a smaller size usually after you drink a terremoto. Warning, these drinks will make your legs shake!
About one and a half hours from Santiago you can arrive to Valparaíso, one of Chile's main ports. Valparaiso was built on 41 hills and was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. Get ready for a nice walk that includes some steps while looking at artistic expressions in graffiti on the walls of this old city. There are eight funiculars or ascensores that will take you to the top of the hills for a magnificent view. Within a short drive you can go to Viña del Mar, the principal beach town for Santiago residents.
Editor's note: Did you enjoy this guest post? If you have some nice photos of a Latin American country you'd like to share as we did here with some short descriptions, please email me to be a part of this special Hispanic Heritage Month series!

HAMPTON — You'd never know it to look at him now, but once upon a time Marshawn Williams was a couch potato who spent his days playing video games. That, pretty much, was the extent of his physical activity.
Today, he's a 16-year-old junior for Hampton High who already has accepted a football scholarship to Virginia Tech. He's a physical specimen, a powerhouse runner with breakaway speed, and not someone you'd enjoy trying to stop.
He owes it all to his cousin Maurice Boone, who dragged him off the sofa to play youth-league football when he was 10.
"I really do," Williams said. "Football kind of grew on me."
So it did. Going into Thursday night's showdown against Phoebus, Williams has rushed for 939 yards and 15 touchdowns. Those numbers are good enough on their own, but consider that during a two-week stretch, he was limited to 11 carries and 50 yards because of a bruised side.
At 5-foot-11, 212 pounds, and with 4.57-second speed in the 40-yard dash, Williams has become a load to handle.
"He's really, really good," Woodside coach Danny Dodson said. "He's not a big, slow guy. He's a big, fast guy. It's hard to catch him, and if you do catch him, it's hard to bring him down."
Dodson knows all about that. Williams rushed for 192 yards, 89 coming on a pair of touchdowns, in a 42-20 win over the Wolverines on Sept. 21.
Virginia Tech was impressed enough to offer Williams prior to his junior year. That's no longer unheard of in college football, but it's still fairly rare. Consider David Wilson, the Hokies' starting tailback last year and the New York Giants' first-round pick in the NFL draft. He wasn't offered until the spring before his senior year.
"It was very overwhelming," Williams said of Tech's early offer. "I was more surprised than anything. It was a dream come true, really, because that was the school I wanted to go to."
Williams played on the junior varsity as a freshman, though he did get nine carries in limited work with the varsity. As a sophomore, he became a starter and rushed for 650 yards on 100 carries. He became an instant hero in the hallways with his 9-yard touchdown in overtime to beat Phoebus.
Though he's a natural tailback, he's been asked to play fullback on occasion, depending on the personnel head coach Mike Smith wants to use. Either way, he's been effective. He's the district's best power runner, and five of his 15 touchdowns have been at least 34 yards (including a career-long 60 last week vs. Kecoughtan).
"It really doesn't matter where I play, as long as it's helping my team get to the state (championship)," Williams said. "I'll play anywhere Coach wants me to."
Nor does he care that his numbers would be far better if Hampton featured him more. Williams averages 13 rushing attempts a game. Heritage's Khalid Abdullah, Phoebus' Tony Pittman and Kecoughtan's Trenton Cannon all average at least 21 a game.
Smith appreciates Williams' team-first approach.
"He's a hard-working, unassuming guy," Smith said. "He works hard every day in practice and has a great attitude. He cares about his teammates and respects his coaches, and he's well-liked around the school. Marshawn's a good kid and fun to coach."
Part of that hard work is running track in the offseason. It's made him faster on the field, and that's made him more valuable.
"My track coach has been working on my form and my speed and my explosion," he said. "My explosion wasn't as good as it should have been, and he's been tuning it up and making it better.
"It's better to be more versatile than one-dimensional because you can help in so many ways. You can do what Coach needs you to."
Thursday's game
•Hampton (8-1, 7-1 Peninsula District) vs. Phoebus (9-0, 8-0), 7 p.m. at Darling Stadium
TICKETS: $5 adult, $3 children 12-and-under and seniors 65-and-over. Pre-sale tickets are available 4-6 p.m. Wednesday at Hampton and Phoebus' main offices.
SUNDAY: Series by the numbers.
MONDAY: Ten memorable series games.
TUESDAY: Profile of Phoebus coach Jeremy Blunt, who replaced Stan Sexton weeks ago.
TODAY: Profile of Hampton running back Marshawn Williams, a Virginia Tech commitment.
THURSDAY: What you need to know heading into game day.

|Quick Facts About Indiana Trial Courts
All counties have circuit courts
Many counties have superior courts
Marion County is the only county with distinct small claims courts
St. Joseph County is the only county with a specialized probate court, which also has juvenile jurisdiction.
Trial courts are courts of general jurisdiction, meaning they have the power to hear any civil or criminal case. Following are descriptions of each type of court found in the Indiana trial court system:
Circuit Courts
Circuit courts are the only trial courts mentioned in the Indiana Constitution, but the Constitution did not create circuit courts. The 1851 Constitution granted the General Assembly the power to create circuit courts. The General Assembly divided Indiana into circuits, based on county lines. Each county in Indiana has at least one circuit court. Indiana has 92 counties, and 90 of these counties comprise their own circuit, with their own circuit court. The remaining two small counties (Ohio and Dearborn Counties) have been combined to form one circuit.
When Indiana first became a state, circuit courts were the only courts in each county. Therefore, circuit courts traditionally heard ALL civil and criminal cases. Today, circuit courts continue to have unlimited trial jurisdiction, EXCEPT when exclusive or concurrent (shared) jurisdiction is conferred upon other courts.
|Jurisdiction of Indiana Trial Courts
Circuit Courts. Unlimited trial jurisdiction in all cases, except when exclusive or concurrent jurisdiction is conferred upon other courts.
Appellate jurisdiction over appeals from city and town courts.
Superior Courts. Trial jurisdiction and organization varies from county to county.
Appellate jurisdiction over appeals from city and town courts.
City/Town Courts. Jurisdiction varies depending upon the size of the city
In counties without superior courts, the circuit courts in addition to all other cases, also handle small claims cases, such as civil disputes involving less than $6,000 and minor offenses, such as misdemeanors, ordinance violations, and Class D felonies. Class D felonies are the lowest level (least serious) of felony charges. Circuit courts also have appellate jurisdiction over appeals from city and town courts.
Superior Courts
As local needs grew and more trial courts became necessary, the Indiana General Assembly created additional courts called superior courts. The majority of Indiana trial courts are superior courts and almost all Indiana counties have superior courts in addition to their circuit court.
For the most part, superior courts have general jurisdiction, so they can hear ALL civil and criminal cases. Superior courts are also charged with establishing small claims and minor offense divisions.
City/Town Courts
City and town courts may be created by local ordinance (local law). Currently there are forty-seven city courts and twenty-eight town courts in Indiana. Plainfield, Avon, Carmel, and Jamestown are just a few examples of cities and towns that have city/town courts. City and town courts handle minor offenses such as violations of city ordinances (laws), misdemeanors, and infractions. These courts commonly handle traffic matters. City and town courts are not courts of record, so appeals from city and town courts go to the circuit or superior courts and are decided as if they have never been to court before. Did you know that with some exceptions, the city and town court judges are not required to be attorneys?

What plants do kawakawa compete with for light, space and water please
Teia - New Zealand
Much of the competition with other plants has to do with where the kawakawa is located. It is difficult to tell in its natural habitat.
Strategies plants use
Topic: Criteria for Winning
September 15, 2017
I need to know the strategies plants use to out compete other plants,such as rapid growth,chemical warfare,growing up over other plants,and shade tolerance.

You have listed many of the strategies plants use. See Competition Among Plants for details.
How does innovation affect business competition?
Topic: General
November 7, 2016
how innovation affect business competition performance!?
Mtemba - Tanzania
Innovation in business is coming up with new products, new services, or new ways to do things such as doing things faster or less costly.
These innovations will help the business stay ahead or catch up to the competition. For example, the maker of a mobile phone might improve the quality of its camera to attract more customers than the other companies. Or a bank may offer a special service that others don't offer, as a way to attract new customers.
Better to go for swift victories
Topic: Art of War
October 24, 2016
how to apply this "In war, it is better to go for swift victories rather than engage in prolonged military campaigns." into business..?
thanks. :)
Pei Yuan - Malaysia
In a business, you want to be able to act quickly to produce and deliver goods. This gives you a competitive advantage. If a company takes too long to enter the market with its products, it is at a disadvantage compared to its competitors.
Another thought is that it may be better to get many small sales than to spend much effort and time on gaining a very big sale. Often many small contracts are better than waiting for the one big contract.
I hope this helps. Best wishes in your business efforts.

Hi Ron,
I was searching for some poker information today and I came across your resources for winning at competition
Anyway, I couldn't help but notice that you mentioned playwinningpoker.com but their site has been completely shut down for a while now.
You way want to remove their URL from your article.
My entire site is actually dedicated to providing success for poker players: http://www.beatthefish.com/
Might make a nice replacement on the page. :)
Either way, keep up the awesome work!

Dirty playing in high school football games
Topic: Defending Against Dirty Play
October 7, 2016
How do I address? My son is a football player for Galileo high school. He told me that he was down and the guy from Lowell high school keep knee him. It happened that we have it on tape! Should I will to my son's coach!
If now I will show the take to other school coach. And in the previous game, one of the players was down and they punched him three times. He up holding a punch but didn't happen! These never experience this!
We want them play a good game! Good sportsmanship! It is sad the coach lets they players play like that! I am sure this is not the first time! I want to address this!
Marie - USA
Unfortunately, some coaches allow their players to to play dirty and show poor sportsmanship. However, it is the job of the referees to flag dirty playing and penalize the other team or even throw the player out of the game. It is their job to make sure the players don't get injured by such dirty playing.
It is good that you have a tape of the incident. You can show it to your team's coach and also to the school principal. They should be concerned about such dirty playing. Also, other parents in your school should be concerned, because they don't want their kids to get hurt by such dirty playing.
I hope you will be able to get some action on stopping this activity. Let me know how things turn out.
Purpose of a beauty pageant competition
Topic: General
August 9, 2016
Beauty with a purpose pageant competition.
In a beauty pageant, contestants are judged on their looks, personality, and talent. This is a form of Performance Competition, where a judge decides who is best and the contestants cannot affect the performance of the others.
Just as a competition to see who can run the fastest, the purpose of a beauty pageant is simply to see who wins under their criteria.

How do animals compete for food?
Topic: Animals Food
February 8, 2016
How do they compete # examples and why do they compete besides the fact that they just have those instincts.
Azeem - USA
It is natural for animals to want to get food to eat. When two animals want to get the same item of food, they get into competition for that food.
Sometimes, the first one to see the food will grab it and run or fly away. A flock of crows may see some food, but the first one to get there will grab it and fly away. He won the competition.
Other times they might fight for the food. Dogs are known to compete for food by fighting.
Some animals--such as chimpanzees--can actually trick the other into getting the food.
Hopefully, this reader feedback has helped provide information about Competition issues.

Like almost every other game set in the future, multiplayer mech shooter Hawken looks bleak. Pollution, dark skies, it just seems a generally unpleasant place to spend any amount of time.
Some days, though, the clouds part. The shooting stops. And hardened futuristic science warriors can kick back, have a beer and read the funny pages of the Despairing Future War Herald.
The piece is by Hawken artist Khang Le. You can see more of Khang's work in this feature we did on his art back in June, or on his CGHub portfolio.

BIM helps deliver on time and under budget
Project summary
Consigli Construction used Building Information Modeling (BIM) to coordinate construction of a new 125,000-square-foot, 410-bed residence hall without impacting the university admission schedule. Autodesk BIM solutions helped Consigli prevent delays and costly construction problems—and enabled them to complete the project on schedule and half a percent under budget.
Consigli Construction Co.
Framingham State University North Hall
Allocate space more efficiently
By using BIM to create 3D models and explore design options, Consigli was able to solve space challenges, and analyze materials and construction techniques to identify more cost-efficient structural systems.
Optimize construction schedules
Consigli created a model of the whole building site to develop synchronized construction sequencing, coordinate materials delivery, and minimize weather-related delays.
Minimize construction problems
The team used the model to systematically identify and resolve interferences floor by floor—an effort that paid off in a big way. During construction, only one significant clash surfaced. It was easily fixed.
Improve job-site efficiency
Consigli used BIM 360 Field cloud-based construction field management software to review the project on-site and generate punch lists. Punch lists were documented with photos and linked to issues to boost efficiency in the field.

Cakes in miniature can make a person feel special. It's like you're getting a whole cake to yourself. I'm not saying that a person shouldn't share, but mini cakes provide a perfect excuse not to share. These chocolate mini bundt cakes are a simple but indulgent treat. The combination of the milk chocolate cake with a bittersweet chocolate glaze is a delight and the ease of preparation pleases a lazy baker like me. And since the cakes are baked in a fanciful mold like a mini bundt, it appears as if I spent more time in the kitchen than I actually did. Of course that's what I will be telling myself if I give in to temptation and buy more cute molds. They're really a time saver. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Chocolate Mini Bundt Cakes
(adapted from Dorie Greenspan's "Baking From My Home to Yours")
(makes 6 mini bundt cakes)
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 ounces (1 stick/8 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened at room temp
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
7 ounces good quality* milk chocolate, melted and cooled
(*I used Michel Cluizel's Grand Lait 45%)
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 tsp light corn syrup
To make the cake:
Preheat oven to 350F. Generously butter a 6-mold mini bundt pan. (Each mini bundt is about 3.5 inches wide x 1.75 inches tall.)
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat for 1 minute more, then beat in the vanilla.
On low speed, add half the flour mixture and mix only until it is incorporated. Add in the milk and mix until just blended. Then add the remaining flour mixture and mix only until it is incorporated. Blend in the melted chocolate.
Divide batter evenly among the 6 molds. Bake at 350F until cake tester comes out clean, about 20-22 minutes.
Cool for 5-10 minutes in pan. Then remove the mini bundt cakes from pan and cool to room temperature before glazing.
To make glaze:
Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water or in the microwave on low. Stir in corn syrup. Spread glaze or drizzle over cakes. Allow glaze to set at room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Note: I omitted the nut filling that Dorie had in her original recipe. You can skip the chocolate glaze and just dust the mini bundts with powdered sugar.

ELLENVILLE — Police swept up 21 people and seized drugs during a pre-dawn raid Friday.
ELLENVILLE — Police swept up 21 people and seized drugs during a pre-dawn raid Friday.
Two of those arrested are alleged gang members, while two others were charged with selling within a school zone. The raid culminates a yearlong investigation into drug trafficking in the Ellenville area.
All of the suspects were located during the 4 a.m. crackdown and none remain at large.
"These individuals have been selling poison for a long time," said Ulster County Assistant District Attorney Gerard Van Loan. "These arrests will prove that selling drugs doesn't pay in the long run."
The suspects were accused of selling everything from crack cocaine to marijuana to prescription painkillers.
About 60 federal, county and local law enforcement officers descended on Ellenville and Wawarsing in the early morning. Nobody resisted arrest, and nobody was injured.
The 21 suspects are being held in Ulster County Jail.
Police were armed with 17 grand jury indictments and five local arrest warrants. A handful of those charged had already been incarcerated.
"These investigations are cumbersome," said Ellenville police Chief Phil Mattracion. "They are long-term investigations."
Those arrested face 96 felony and six misdemeanor charges in total, nearly all of which pertain to having or selling drugs.
Police seized drugs from many of those arrested, including nearly 300 bags of heroin and 2.5 ounces of crack from Garvey "Joker" Marmol, 27, of Ellenville. No weapons were seized during Friday's raid.
Carlos "Los" Medina, 28, of Ellenville, is an accused Blood, while Jose "Chops" Rodriguez, 30, of Ellenville, is an accused Crip. Erol Tuna, 28, of Ellenville, and Iris Serrano, 34, of Wawarsing, are accused of selling drugs within 1,000 feet of a school.
A 2007 raid resulted in the arrest of 17 suspected Bloods in Wawarsing and Rochester, while March's "Operation Clean Sweep" ended with 101 arrests in the Kingston area. Police said that 44 of those arrested in the Kingston raid were street gang members.

If I accept the offer to go to London, can I still be considered to study on-campus in Saratoga Springs in September?
No. We depend on your commitment to the London program when we make our plans for the fall semester. You will need to choose whether to go to London OR commit to an on-campus spot in September.
What will happen if I accept this offer and then I change my mind?
Your initial deposits are non-refundable. You may be responsible to Skidmore for any monies already paid by Skidmore on your behalf, or in any respect committed on your behalf, that are not retrievable by Skidmore. Once you arrive in London, no fees are refundable.
What kind of student profile presents the best prospect for success in London?
According to past participants of the London program, independent, adaptable, open-minded, adventurous, mature, tolerant, and responsible students succeed in London. Students tell us that people who tend to be reluctant to engage in new experiences might find it more difficult to adjust.
Will I be able to talk to someone who has studied with Skidmore's First-Year Experience in London before making my decision?
Yes. Returning students from previous London programs have volunteered to e-mail or talk with prospective students to answer questions from the student perspective. Let us know, and we will provide contact information for a student that has already studied in London. If you attend an Accepted Candidates Day, you may speak with past participants at our information table.
Will there be an orientation program for the enrolled London students?
Yes. All students going to London will begin the fall semester with a 3-day orientation on the Saratoga Springs campus. The group will travel together to a New York City airport and fly as a group to London. After arrival in London, orientation will continue in London with the Skidmore Faculty Coordinators, IES staff, and Skidmore Program Assistant. See Orientation and Activities for arrival and orientation dates.
How will I get to London?
Skidmore arranges a group flight leaving from a New York City airport and will provide transportation for the students from the Skidmore campus to the airport.
Do I need a passport to travel to London?
Yes. If you do not have one, you should apply now at your local U.S. Post Office or the passport issuing agency in your country.
Do I need a visa to travel to London?
Yes, students will need a visa to travel to London. The only students that do not need a visa are those students who are citizens of the UK or European Union. If you are a US citizen, you will be able to enter the UK as a Short Term Student. There is no fee for this visa and you will apply for it upon entry into the United Kingdom at the airport. If your citizenship is other than U.S., check with a British Consulate to find out what type of visa you will need or contact Off-Campus Study & Exchanges at Skidmore College for more information. Please note that visa requirements are subject to change.
Will there be opportunities to travel while I'm studying in London?
YES! Skidmore will plan a number of cultural and social activities in and around London during the semester. Many students also travel independently during the mid-semester break. Non-U.S. citizens may need to apply for additional visas to travel to countries in Europe other than the U.K.
Can parents visit in London?
While it is not recommended for parents to visit while classes are in session, some families may wish to visit their sons and daughters during the mid-semester break or at the end of the program. On the other hand, the break is, for many students, a great time to engage in their own independent travel. We do expect that students will meet their academic and programmatic responsibilities regardless of when family and friends visit. Visitors to London, including family, are not permitted to participate in field trips or activities related to the program.
Is it expensive to live in London? How should I plan?
Goods and services cost about twice as much as those in larger U.S. cities. Returning students have told us that they were glad they had saved money from their summer jobs to take advantage of the wonderful cultural offerings in London. Don't forget: tuition, room, most meals, local transportation, and many cultural experiences will be pre-paid. Students will receive a stipend of about £680 per month to be used toward food and local transportation. Also, students can apply their Skidmore financial aid package to the cost of the London FYE program.
Will it be hard to become part of the Skidmore community when I return from London?
The best way to become a real part of your Skidmore class on your return is to introduce yourself to others, join organizations, audition for plays, try out for sports teams, or apply for leadership positions. Previous participants tell us that being part of a returning group from London helped too, as they had many 'ready-made' friendships before reaching campus.
If I am planning to be pre-med or major in the sciences, can I still study in London?
With careful planning and close advisement, pre-med students and students planning to major in the sciences can study in London for their first semester at Skidmore. Some of Skidmore's pre-med and science major course requirements are sequenced and the first course in the sequence may only be offered in the fall semester on the Saratoga Springs campus. This means you may have to wait until your sophomore fall to take the first course in the sequence of requirements for certain departments. Most of the courses available in London are based in the humanities and social sciences except for Calculus I, which may fulfill a mathematics requirement for some science majors.
As of fall of 2017, both introductory biology courses for the first year of biology (BI107 and BI108) will be offered each semester and they can be taken in any sequence. This means that you can take BI108 in the spring of 2020 and then BI107 in the fall of 2020 if you need to take the introductory biology sequence for your major.
You are strongly encouraged to contact the Chair of your intended major department or the Health Professions Advising Committee (HPAC) before you commit to London and discuss your options
Where will I live when I come to Skidmore in January?
London FYE students will live on campus when they return to Skidmore for the spring semester. Students will be sent a housing questionnaire to complete in late October for spring semester housing on campus. The Office of Residential Life places students in on-campus housing where space is available, and upper class students have first choice in housing.
How will my grades appear on my Skidmore transcript?
You will receive Skidmore credits and grades. Grades count towards your Skidmore GPA.
Will I get into the classes I want for the second semester at Skidmore?
You will register for classes using the Skidmore online registration system in the same manner as the rest of the first-year class. Upper class students have first choice of courses. Thus, first-year students should plan for a flexible range of course choices. The Skidmore faculty directors in London serve as faculty advisors for the London FYE students and will advise the students about registering and course selection for the spring semester.

Doesn't this do the job? https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/g...s-discussions/
Just an idea - why not have a branch of this forum for all kinds of discussions? We'd have a chance to both practise the language and broaden our cultural horizons.
Last edited by Humble; 24-Feb-2007 at 22:30. Reason: error
Doesn't this do the job? https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/g...s-discussions/
OK, Bob,
Still I believe a separate branch -under the same roof-would be more convenient. It would thrill many ESLs who long for practising English, and bring more fun; besides it would increase the site's popularity considerably.
Do you think it's technically difficult?
I don't know anything about the technical difficulty. Red5 is the man for that. But I imagine he'll take some persuading, in view of the forum that already exists.
It would also depend on the types of discussions. They can get heated at times.
Last edited by Dr. Jamshid Ibrahim; 02-Mar-2007 at 10:47.
Well, it would be lovely if it were that simple.
Why don't you get started in the General Discussions area and see?
was this settled?:) just curious...

Do you have a child you'd like to get interested in Shakespeare? Are you worried that the Bard's prose might be too indecipherable, or the plays too violent, or simply not interesting enough for today's kids with their iPads and Twitters and Biebers and Pokémons? Well, today is your lucky day, because the Robot Shakespeare Company has produced The Tragedy of MacBeth, a kid-friendly version of the play with some very unique characteristics:
• It stars robots
• It's CG animated
• There are spaceships, holograms and laser guns
• There's no graphic violence
• There are modern subtitles, so kids can understand what the heck is being said
This is super-weird, but it's really cool too. MacBeth seems like an odd choice for the project — certainly Shakespeare has more kid-friendly work — but MacBeth is one of Shakespeare's most popular plays for a reason, and I think kids would get into it. The scifi setting is neat, and definitely kid friendly, and the modern subtitles are a genuinely brilliant idea. And sure, the CG isn't exactly Pixar, but this was originally a Kickstarter project, and besides, this is a pretty noble cause, so I'm more than willing to cut them some slack.
You can purchase The Tragedy of MacBeth on DVD here, but it can also be viewed free on the official Robot Shakespeare Company website, complete with educational notes. Thanks to Megan B. for the tip!

|This is the template sandbox page for সাঁচ:Asbox (diff).
| This template is used on 1,700,000+ pages.
To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or/testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This is the asbox or article stub box meta template. It is the standard template used for creating new or updating existing article stub box templates. It supports most, if not all, stub template styles.
Basic usage[সম্পাদনা কৰক]
{{asbox | image = just the name of the image, e.g. Image.png - will be sized at 40x30px | subject = given before "article", e.g. "this *biographical* article is a stub" | qualifier = given after "article" e.g. "this article *about a musician* is a stub" | category = just the name of the category to place tagged pages in, e.g. History stubs | name = the full name of the stub template itself, used to reference itself internally }}
This simple usage should suffice for a great many stub templates. Additional parameters are described below for advanced use.

image is the name of the image :-
pix will likely be required as well, the default value for
pix is 40x30.
imagealt may be used to override the default alt text which is set to "Stub icon".
pix[সম্পাদনা কৰক]
The size of the image in pixels (no need to append px). Only required if
image is used and this image requires a size different from the default maximum of 40x30 pixels. (Note that in the interests of standardising the formats of stub messages, images of size 40x30 are much preferred.)
