Nonprofit organized to stop sale or partnership of NHRMC
By Frances Weller | November 18, 2019 at 6:51 PM EST - Updated November 19 at 8:19 AM
WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - A new nonprofit organization has been formed to stop the sale or partnership of New Hanover Regional Medical Center. Members of Save our Hospital, Inc. say they plan to launch a public information campaign.
"In our communication efforts, we will engage in a continuing public information campaign to help educate the people of our area regarding the dangers of selling New Hanover Regional Medical Center or for the hospital to enter into a strategic partnership that would likely lead to an eventual take-over by a larger medical services entity," says Gene Merritt, president of Save Our Hospital. "In those instances, we feel that prices will rise and levels of service will decrease."
In September, New Hanover County Commissioners voted to explore the sale or partnership of NHRMC, the county's largest employer.
Then in October, the hospital and county announced the Partnership Advisory Group had been formed to explore the future of the medical center. The group has met twice.
"We believe that NHRMC, a financially viable institution, is fully capable of managing its own future without selling out or obtaining a partner. We favor local control of our hospital system," Merritt says.
The nonprofit will seek financial contributions to fund the public education campaign.
A news conference will be held Wednesday, Nov. 20 on the steps of the New Hanover County Courthouse in downtown Wilmington to officially announce the formation of Save Our Hospital, Inc.

The Broncos have moved another step closer towards their new Red Hill facility as work begins on the development site.
See some of the new and updated designs for this facility in the video as Broncos CEO Paul White gives Broncos TV an update on the process ahead.
"It is appropriate that we thank the State Government for their continued work and support of our vision for this project", Mr White said.
Minister for Environment and Member for Mt Coot-tha Dr Steven Miles said the Broncos were an important part of the local community, contributing to it since they made Red Hill their headquarters back in 1988.
"This facility really cements the Broncos commitment to Red Hill and the surrounding community," Dr Miles said.
"One of the things I like most about the development is that the community will be able to access part of the training facility when the Broncos aren't using it."

Ebonite was invented in 1839 by Charles Goodyear. He found that he could obtain a black material, which was rigid rather than elastic, by mixing together and heating latex and sulphur. The result was a hard rubber and it was given the name ebonite because both the colour and consistency were very similar to ebony (heartwood).
Ebonite would go on to be used in the manufacture of many objects including high-quality fountain pens, bowling balls, clocks, electrical insulating material or saxophone and clarinet mouthpieces.
Ebonite was also employed as an alternative material for making flute bodies. It seems it was first used in flute making in the mid-1800s by New-York-based Alfred G. Badger and other makers followed suit. It was thought to be very advantageous as a material because it did not absorb water, was durable and difficult to break. It was also a bad conductor of heat which meant that alterations in air temperature would not affect the pitch of the flute.
The famous 'Giorgi Flute' was made entirely of ebonite (with metal rings) rather than wood by the London firm Joseph WALLIS & Son Limited in around 1900. It was not only constructed in this new hard rubber material, but had no keys!

Stellent's acquisition of Optika will continue a wave of consolidation as enterprise content management vendors seek to offer a complete suite of products. However, this latest acquisition could make Stellent itself an attractive target for a major software company such as Oracle.
Stellent, the enterprise content management software maker, is paying $10 million in cash and 4.1 million shares for Optika in a deal that will total $59 million and give Optika's shareholders about 16% of the stock of the combined company.
Though it made a modest profit of $183,000 in its last quarter to September 30 on revenue of $5.3 million, Optika has an undistinguished financial record. The attraction to Stellent is its Acorde system to integrate imaging, workflow, collaboration and document/records management capabilities into a single platform.
Stellent CEO Robert Olson said customers are looking to consolidate their content management needs, including imaging, business process management, web content management and record management with one vendor. He said the merger will enable Stellent to provide a comprehensive suite for managing both consumption-orientated content and high-volume transaction-based content.
Combined, the two companies will have an annual revenue run-rate of about $100 million, which is modest given that the content management market is forecast to grow from $2.29 billion in 2002 to $3.8 billion in 2007.
Stellent has been acquisitive of late. It bought Ancept last August for its Media Server technology, while in March it moved into the hosting market with the purchase of Active IQ Technologies.
Stellent also announced that it is sticking to its previous guidance and expects revenue for its third quarter to December 31 to grow about 20% to between $9.2 million and $10.3 million.
Stellent's belief that customers want their needs to be satisfied by a single vendor applies on a larger scale too. Its acquisition of Optika makes it a more attractive target to a major software company and hungry companies such as Oracle [ORCL] could soon be knocking on its door.

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – AUGUST 2013: The Grand Opening of the new recording facility at Nashville's Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet School on May 8th featured the first API 1608 console in a high school setting. Many important names in the recording industry rallied to show their support of the "Music Makes Us" initiative by welcoming the new API-equipped studio, which will serve almost nine hundred students this year alone.
Built in 1986, the Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet High School is located in north Nashville and is the sole entertainment magnet school in the country, offering courses in everything from audio engineering to television broadcasting. With the hard work of The Recording Academy® Producers & Engineers Wing® members and a partnership with the Warner Music Nashville label, this world-class facility is the home of the first ever student-run record label. The API console will serve as a major part of the school's Academy of Entertainment Management and Academy of Entertainment Communication divisions. Students will learn audio production from song creation to production and on to distribution.
The school's motto, "Together as One" rang true as a wide variety of important pro audio individuals contributed to and celebrated the opening of the studio. The Recording Academy® P&E Wing® as well as Nashville Mayor Karl Dean, Senior Vice President of A&R for Warner Music-Nashville Scott Hendricks, and API President Larry Droppa were among some of the attendees at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the expert-designed $1.2 million multi-room facility and control room.

Sometimes the simplest meals are the most delicious. This recipe only has a few ingredients and can be prepared in less then 5 minutes. It is my favourite summer meal.
Arrange tomato and cheese on plate. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil. Drizzle with oil and vinegar, add salt to taste.
I got a basil plant so I used fresh basil! Hopefuly I can keep it alive.

Koans are an interesting form of Zen practice. In the Soto school, we do not use them very much, but there are many Soto teachers who are also trained in the Rinzai sects' methods and use them more extensively. Master Loori of Zen Mountain Monastery in New York state comes to mind. Soto's reluctance to train with koans is not to be taken as dogma. Master Dogen himself was thoroughly conversant with the various koan collections and, indeed, created a collection himself. Master Dogen founded the Soto sect of Zen Buddhism.
What we should not do is replace koan practice with shikantaza. Shikantaza, the practice of just sitting, is foundational to our way. Sitting with a koan in mind is not shikantaza. On the other hand, we have ample opportunity throughout our day to examine life itself: the most profound of koans. And everywhere it presents itself to the mind that sees.
Master Dogen had a phrase, 'moon in a dew drop'. This phrase penetrates deeply the true state of things. Consider it. Is the moon in the dew drop or not?

Hecklefield, John
by Neil C. Pennywitt, 1988
d. August[?] 1721
John Hecklefield, militia officer, justice of the peace, provost marshal, and vestryman, moved to North Carolina from England in 1701. Court records of 1701 and 1702 refer to him as a doctor. His family name was rare. Settling in the Little River area of Perquimans County, he quickly became one of the growing community's leading citizens. Hecklefield married Elizabeth Abington Godfrey, daughter of Thomas Abington and widow of John Godfrey. He apparently was a man of some means before arriving, for provincial courts, the Council, and the Assembly all met at their home between 1701 and 1715. Court had been held at the same place during Godfrey's lifetime, and afterwards when the house was occupied by his widow. It may have been Hecklefield's marriage that drew him into public office almost immediately after his arrival. He was given power of attorney by a local resident in 1701, and later in the year he became captain of the militia. In 1703 he was provost marshal and a few years later was a justice of the peace for Perquimans County.
Like many of his contemporaries, he began acquiring large tracts of land. In 1713 the Assembly named him to prepare a rent roll for his precinct, and in 1715 he became a vestryman for his parish. Hecklefield also was appointed deputy to Lord Proprietor William Craven, but he declined to serve because of ill health.
His wife died before he did, and he was survived by a five-year-old son. His will, dated 30 May and probated 8 Aug. 1721, provided bequests to such prominent friends as Governor Charles Eden, Edmund Gale, and George Durant. His son did not survive long afterwards, and the bulk of the estate was then willed to Hecklefield's sister-in-law, Mrs. Mary Fox, who lived near Essex Bridge, Dublin, Ireland.

Abstract : Several published reports indicate that top Israeli decision makers now are seriously considering whether to order a military strike on Iran s nuclear facilities, and if so, when. Twice in Israel s history, it has conducted air strikes aimed at halting or delaying what Israeli policymakers believed to be efforts to acquire nuclear weapons by a Middle Eastern state destroying Iraq s Osirak reactor in 1981 and a facility the Israelis identified as a reactor under construction in Syria in 2007. Today, Israeli officials generally view the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran as an unacceptable threat to Israeli security with some viewing it as an existential threat.

WE CREATED OUR BELLY SERUM TO SPECIFICALLY SOOTHE "THE POD".
We had many Mommas request something to prevent stretch marks and relieve the itchiness they were experiencing as their "pods grew to hold their peas"...this is our answer. And it works to support our Momma Butter incredibly well!
We have crafted our Belly Serum using soothing and easily absorbed oils like sweet almond oil, avocado oil and rosehip to relieve itching. We also included organic argan and organic tamanu oils to specifically address stretch marks. Completely free from parabens, synthetic fragrances and chemical preservatives, this serum is a healthy blend for "the pod" that contains nothing harmful to "the pea".


← ARE YOU RAISING CHILDREN IN A HOUSE OF JOY?
Have you thought about the day you take your child to college? Imagine moving them into their dorm room and coming to that difficult moment of saying goodbye. What parting words will you share that they will take with them through the rest of their lives? In other words, what will you say knowing that they are about to experience a new found freedom and desiring that they will use this freedom responsibly. How about "Live up to your God given purpose!" The strength of character your child possesses will determine how well he or she will navigate through a world filled with temptation, pressure, and different worldviews. It's never too early or too late to prepare kids for a faith-filled future!
Many of my friends and I are sending our children off to college this year. A friend of mine mentioned that He may need to start a ministry for parents sending kids off to college. I think that is a great idea. Some of us may need it during transition :). Even though we are all excited, we will miss them and worry a little. One thing we know for sure is that we have poured into them the word of God and ultimately we will have to trust and know that at the end to the day that is what matters. Now it is time for us to allow them to soar and walk into the purpose and destiny that God has for them. Sometimes that may be different than what we may think it should be. We have spent our life teaching, training and protecting our children; now it's time to "give them wings." For many parents, the shift from being the primary influence in a child's life to releasing them to adulthood isn't easy. Hopefully we have been preparing them for independence from the start. Now that they are on their own — finding their niche, building a career — you're no longer their major authority, but friend. By setting healthy boundaries, you can enjoy this new role, while offering the love, guidance and insight only a parent can provide.
John 14: 1-"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me.
Matthew 7: 12 -So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Luke 9:23-Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Luke 8:39-"Return home and tell how much God has done for you." So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.

SAARC – Uniting to combat COVID-19
Posted by IASbaba
Categories UPSC Articles
INTERNATIONAL / SECURITY/ HEALTH
Topic: General Studies 2:
Bilateral, regional and global groupings and agreements involving India and/or affecting India's interest
Context: With the pandemic showing no signs of abating, growth prospects for the world's fastest-growing region, South Asia, appear grim.
COVID-19 in South Asia
India has the second largest number of COVID-19 cases in the world (over 55 lakh) after the U.S
Bangladesh has around 3.5 lakh cases.
Bhutan and the Maldives have managed to largely contain community transmission and avoid prolonged lockdowns due to a higher testing rate.
Low Mortality: Unlike other regions, South Asian countries are experiencing a lower mortality rate despite having a higher infection rate.
Reasons for Low Mortality: The region's tropical climate, protection offered by a tuberculosis vaccine (BCG), exposure to malaria, and a weaker strain of the virus are considered as some of the reasons for low mortality
Have the governments in South Asia announced stimulus package?
India, in late March, announced a $22.5 billion relief package to ensure food security and cash transfers to save the livelihoods of an estimated 800 million people living in poverty. RBI slashed the repo and reverse repo rate to create liquidity for businesses.
Bangladesh, in early April, announced a stimulus package worth about $8 billion in addition to an earlier $595 million incentive package for export-oriented industries.
Pakistan, in late March, unveiled a comprehensive fiscal stimulus package of $6.76 billion. Its central bank also slashed the interest rate.
Maldives, in late April, mobilised a $161.8 million emergency fund and Afghan government allocated about $25 million to fight COVID-19.
Concerns:
Inadequate Testing: Countries facing a surge in cases, such as India, could have flattened the curve by increasing the number of tests
Data Reliability: South Asia houses one-fourth of the global population and one-third of the global poor, many COVID-19 deaths might have gone unnoticed, unreported or even under-reported.
Implementation of Economic Package: Although countries like India and Bangladesh announced financial and material stimulus packages, distribution concerns remain unaddressed
Inoperative SAARC COVID-19 fund: The fund was created following Indian PM Narendra Modi's call to South Asian leaders, but governments are yet to decide on its modus operandi.
Narrow Geopolitical Rivalry: This crisis is likely to result in prolonged economic slowdown in South Asia which will be further complicated by narrow geopolitical rivalry.
Way Ahead – A coordinated response mechanism
South Asia region could leverage its existing institutional framework under the umbrella of SAARC to effectively respond to the crisis.
For instance, SAARC Food Banks could be activated to tackle the imminent regional food crisis,
The SAARC Finance Forum can be activated to formulate a regional economic policy response

Liam Neeson's nephew, Ronan Sexton, has died five years after sustaining serious head injuries from a fall, PEOPLE confirms. He was 35.
Sexton passed away over the weekend in Cushendall, a village in Northern Ireland, with his family present, according to The Belfast Telegraph, which first reported the news.
The 66-year-old actor's nephew was seriously injured after falling from a telephone booth and hitting his head in 2014 while enjoying a night out with friends, PEOPLE confirmed at the time. Local authorities said that Sexton fell about 20 feet from the phone booth at around 4 a.m. that Sunday morning; Sexton was 31 at the time.
Sexton was taken to a nearby hospital where he was in critical condition at the time and later transferred to a specialist neurological center.
He was the youngest of six children. His mother Bernadette is Neeson's sister.
This is not the first loss the Taken star has had in his family. Almost 10 years ago, the actor lost his wife, beloved British actress Natasha Richardson, who died at the age of 45 in March 2009 two days after she fell and hit her head while skiing in Quebec.

Prosodic structure as a parallel to musical structure
Christopher C. Heffner, L. Robert Slevc
What structural properties do language and music share? Although early speculation identified a wide variety of possibilities, the literature has largely focused on the parallels between musical structure and syntactic structure. Here, we argue that parallels between musical structure and prosodic structure deserve more attention. We review the evidence for a link between musical and prosodic structure and find it to be strong. In fact, certain elements of prosodic structure may provide a parsimonious comparison with musical structure without sacrificing empirical findings related to the parallels between language and music. We then develop several predictions related to such a hypothesis.

Flaw In DOL Rule Sets H-1B Visa Salaries At $208,000 A Year

In a rule filled with devastating impacts for employers, high-skilled foreign nationals and employment-based immigrants, one feature of the Department of Labor's (DOL) H-1B wage rule stands out. In many instances, when an employer searches for the required salary for an H-1B visa holder, the DOL website reports a mandated minimum annual salary of $208,000 ($100 an hour). That is because the Department of Labor boosted the percentiles (and, therefore, salaries) so high under its new system it is unable to provide salaries for many occupations and metropolitan areas.
A National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) analysis found: "The new DOL wage system requires employers to pay exactly $100 an hour, or $208,000 a year, for over 18,000 combinations of occupations and geographic labor markets, regardless of skill level and position, because DOL cannot provide prevailing wage data for the occupations under the new system. NFAP found this takes place for some of the most common high-skilled occupations in leading high-tech areas."
For example, if an employer uses the DOL website to check the required minimum wage for the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara area for an H-1B visa for a software developer (systems), the DOL website reads: "Leveled wages cannot be provided in Area 41940 for the occupation code 15-1133 due to limitations in the OES [Occupational Employment Statistics] data. Employer provided surveys may be considered under the appropriate regulation, unless the provision of a survey is not permitted. The wage data may be at least: $100.00 hour, $208,000 year."
The NFAP analysis notes that a private wage survey from Willis Towers Watson shows a software developer (systems) at the equivalent of Level 1 should earn $70,600 in annual salary in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara area, rather than the DOL mandated minimum salary of $208,000 a year. In other words, the Trump administration is requiring employers to pay foreign nationals much higher salaries than comparable U.S. workers. The $208,000 mandated salary for software developers is $137,400 over the market salary listed in the private wage survey.
Would DOL accept a private wage survey? Perhaps, but many startups and smaller employers do not have access to such surveys due to cost, and the surveys are typically unavailable outside major cities. DOL notes only 8% of H-1B wage determinations are through private surveys.

Under the Department of Labor's new wage rule, because the DOL website provides no other salary, software developers must be paid $208,000 a year, no matter the skill or experience level, in San Jose, San Francisco, Battle Creek, Michigan and several other U.S. cities, according to NFAP research.
How big a problem is this? The DOL wage rule states that almost 40% of the PERM labor certifications needed for most employment-based immigrants are for software developers, who would likely need to be paid $208,000 a year or be forced to leave the country.
How could a Department of Labor rule have such a major flaw? One reason is when DOL published its H-1B wage rule on October 8, 2020, the agency claimed it had "good cause" under the Administrative Procedure Act to put the rule into effect without permitting the public to comment.
This DOL-created phenomenon of mandating a minimum annual salary of $208,000 takes place for 18,327 combinations of occupations and geographic labor markets, or about 4% of the 437,598 area/occupation combinations identified by the National Foundation for American Policy.
In a lawsuit spearheaded by the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the plaintiffs in Purdue University et al. v. Eugene Scalia et al provide declarations on the real-world impact of the rule and cite the NFAP finding of over 18,000 instances of a mandated annual salary of $208,000 a year.
In a motion for a preliminary injunction filed in the Purdue University lawsuit, the plaintiffs emphasized the Department of Labor did not consider the impact of its rule on U.S. universities. "Several occupations for which data was previously reported are now assigned the default prevailing wage rate of $208,000 per year," according to a declaration by University of Michigan Vice President for Student Life Martino Harmon. "The prevailing wage for an entry-level engineering instructor or an entry-level physician is now set at this arbitrary wage level."
In the motion, the plaintiffs also focused on questionable arguments DOL presented to justify publishing the rule without notice and comment, which normally is allowed only in emergency situations. DOL cited the general unemployment rate caused by the coronavirus pandemic as a reason for issuing the rule "interim final," which allowed the regulation to go into effect immediately without public comment. However, the agency waited 6 months to publish the rule after the U.S. unemployment rate peaked in April 2020. Moreover, the unemployment rate in computer occupations, in which most H-1B visa holders work, was 3% in January and 3.5% in September 2020, not a significant change.
Michael McRobbie, president of Indiana University, paints a grim picture of how the rule will affect students and residents in rural areas. "Primary care physicians at Indiana University would be most affected by the IFR [interim final rule]," according to McRobbie. "Offering a salary of $208,000 for an academic primary care physician is excessive and not affordable. This will greatly impact the primary care workforce. There is a shortage of primary care physicians in the state of Indiana and several work in medically underserved areas."
"The minimum salary of $208,000 will prevent a newly trained Assistant Professor in Clinical Neurology from being sponsored by Indiana University because her salary is well below that amount and cannot be increased to avoid salary equity issues with other employees who hold that same position," said McRobbie. "This Assistant Professor will have to return to their home country and no longer be able to work in the United States as long as the IFR [interim final rule] is in effect."
"Foreign Medical Graduates, must be paid a minimum of $208,000 per year despite only having just graduated medical school, which is dramatically higher than the market rate for these employees and clearly more than rural hospital and medical centers are able to pay," according to the plaintiffs. "By devising a regulation where the underlying data does not allow calculation of wage levels for purposes of high-skilled immigration and imposing a default $208,000 annual salary, underserved populations in rural areas will remain underserved."
"Because physicians in training will not be paid $208,000, an absurd salary for a medical resident typically paid about one-fourth of that, they will have to work on J-1 visas," said Ram Sanjeev Alur, MD, president of Physicians for American Healthcare Access, in a declaration in the Purdue University lawsuit. Many physicians would have to leave the United States after their training finishes because their required salary on an H-1B petition would price them out of the U.S. labor market. "Every doctor that has to leave is a community that will have less access to needed health care," said Dr. Alur.
The new DOL wage system is also hard on dentists. Under the new rule, in 806 out of 1,066 geographic labor markets, or 76%, the default salary required for dentists, regardless of experience, is $208,000 a year, according to an NFAP analysis.
Dr. Jaspreet Kaur Gill, DDS, president of Dentists For America, points out in a declaration that few dentists in the United States earn as much as $194,000 annually, and dental residents earn only $50,000 to $65,000: "It makes no sense that the Department of Labor would require a salary for an entry-level dentist that is near the very top end of the market for the most experienced dentists in the highest-paid markets. The new rule essentially makes it impossible for international dentists to remain in the U.S. no matter how severe the shortage of U.S. dentists grows."
The Department of Labor's H-1B wage rule is one of the most expensive regulations in American history, costing employers $198 billion over the next 10 years. The rule did not go through the normal rulemaking process and, as a result, is filled with problems. The plaintiffs in Purdue University et al. v. Eugene Scalia et al. are expected to have their day in court on November 13, 2020. They are likely to come prepared with arguments to show DOL lacked "good cause" to make a massive regulatory change that effectively prices foreign-born engineers, physicians and others out of the U.S. labor market. That could spell trouble for the Trump administration.

A field of 11 sophomores will go postward to contest the $1 million Louisiana Derby (G2) at Fair Grounds on Saturday. The Road to the Kentucky Derby event is the finale of a three-race graded sequence for sophomores hosted by the New Orleans venue this season, with the first two legs – the Lecomte Stakes (G3) and Risen Star Stakes (G2) – going to the formidable War of Will (#6) (6-5).
I am having a hard time going against the surging son of War Front in this spot. Trained by Mark Casse, War of Will is unbeaten from three lifetime races on the dirt and he has won in convincing fashion on each occasion.
The Kentucky-bred has fine early presence in a field lacking an abundance of pace. He holds a tactical edge on many of his foes and I envision him running his win streak to four beneath Tyler Gaffalione in his customary press-and-pounce style.
I do have interest in a few others in hopes of gaining some value in the Louisiana Derby, though I will focus on just one sophomore to complete the exacta.
Trainer Steve Asmussen is well-represented in the Louisiana Derby with a talented pair of colts. I prefer Limonite (#3) (20-1), who will be making his second run of this campaign. The bay son of Lemon Drop Kid would be a surprise to win the race, though I expect a huge leap forward from the Kentucky-bred.
Limonite concluded his juvenile season by finishing a closing third in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (G2) at Churchill Downs. The bay broke slowly in his 2019 debut in the Risen Star and also endured some traffic in the stretch during his fifth-place performance.
He hails from a highly productive South American family and is bred to run all day. Limonite is out of a multiple Group 1 heroine and his half-sister has also secured Group 1 glory. His catalog page is full of high-quality performers.
Limonite receives a nice post to save ground early and he also gets a rider upgrade with Jose Ortiz accepting the assignment. He is training well of late and Asmussen is excellent with horses running second time off the break.
There are multiple factors to suggest that he will show marked improvement on Saturday at a big price. The colt may have trouble reeling in the favorite, but Limonite will be charging hard late.
The Best Bet of the Weekend is an exacta!


Previously eliminated Caribbean rivals Trinidad & Tobago (0-1-4, 1 point) and Cuba (0-4-1, 4 points) concluded their participation in the 2015 CONCACAF Under-17 Championship with a 2-2 draw on Wednesday at the Estadio Francisco Morazan.
The result was Cuba's fourth consecutive draw after opening with a loss, while Trinidad & Tobago acquired its only point on the heels of four straight losses.
The Group A tripleheader will continue later in the day with the United States facing Jamaica and Honduras squaring off against Guatemala in group-deciding encounters. With a win, the Americans will seal a place in the final and a ticket to the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
In a match of two halves played at dissimilar rates of speed, Cuba took a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute.
Yosniel Gonzalez burst into the left side of the penalty area and directed a pass on the ground towards the six-yard box. As he attempted to block the feed, the ball took a slight deflection off Tekay Hoyce's foot, spinning oddly towards the goal line. Eduard Puga reacted with precision to that change of direction to slam home easily from two-yards out.
Realizing it was their last chance to register a win in the competition, both teams emerged from the break in attacking moods.
Trinidad & Tobago leveled in the 65th minute through Kareem Riley, who fired in from 25-yards out with his right foot for one of the tournament's most memorable strikes.
Six minutes later, the Soca Warriors took a lead for the first time in the competition. A right-sided corner kick was played diagonally the top left corner of the box. Team captain Noah Powder received the ball and unleashed a low shot that went off the hands of goalkeeper Lazaro Garcia before going into the net.
Cuba, however, would not be denied yet another draw and, like Trinidad & Tobago, netted off a corner kick. The outstanding Raycharle Herrera lofted a left-sided delivery into the box to which Carlos Borromeo beat two defenders, heading powerfully beyond Tyrek James to complete the scoreline.
