Kennedy Dietz is pitching teams to victory on both sides of the border.
The 14-year-old Sarnian and member of the Enniskillen Express girls' fastball team recently pitched for the Michigan Bulldogs 14U team in the USSSA state championship tournament.
The Bulldogs made it all the way to the final only to lose the title game in extra innings.
Dietz, who also played second base, participated in three tournaments for the Bulldogs this summer. She joined the team a few months ago after noticing an online forum post. The Bulldogs, based in Macomb County just north of Detroit, were looking for a pitcher.
Todd Dietz and his daughter arranged an interview and a tryout in Port Huron. The Bulldogs liked what they saw and signed her.
The team plays primarily in tournaments against other teams from Michigan and neighbouring states.
The Dietzes say Kennedy is the only Ontario girl they know of playing in the Michigan circuit this year.
Kennedy, who has been playing for Lambton County ball teams from the age of five, said it required an adjustment.
"It was a bit weird. I had to get to know a whole new team," she said. "It's a good opportunity to meet new girls who I can play with in the future."
The two months in Michigan has improved her game, she added.
For the 14U age group the pitcher's rubber is 43 feet from home plate. In the Southwestern Ontario Grand Valley League the rubber is five feet closer – which made pitching seem easier after her experience stateside, she said.
The caliber of pitching in Michigan has also dramatically helped her hitting with the Enniskillen squad.
Dietz travels to Michigan at least once a week for practices and weekend tournaments, and her local team practices once and plays twice a week.
"It works out to about six days a week," said Todd Dietz.
Kennedy graduated from Rosedale Public School this summer and will start Grade 9 at Northern Collegiate in September.
She hopes to one day land a U.S. college scholarship, and playing in Michigan can help her get noticed by scouts.
Before that, however, she said she hopes to make Team Ontario's U16 and U18 teams and try to win a national title.

A dozen volunteers from Texoma -- along with their boats and personal watercraft -- are traveling to the Texas Gulf Coast. Their mission: To help with rescue and recovery efforts in the flood disaster zone.
"It's just another adventure in my life, it's what I like," said volunteer Norman O'Neal. "And to help people like this, it's gonna be awesome. I love it... I can't wait."
American Red Cross Texoma Chapter chairwoman Sara Jerome helped assemble the group of 12 volunteers, who began their journey of mercy after buying supplies.
"So people are donating, we've had people load groceries, we've had people walk by and give us cash," she said. "It's amazing what people want to do to help, It's heartwarming."
So how does the generosity affect the people of Texoma?
"Makes me cry, it gives you a lot of positive things for humanity. You can see the good in people when something like this comes out."
And Norman O'Neal pledges to provide assistance as long as he and his boat are needed.
"I'm really looking forward to it, and I don't care how long I have to stay, I'm just gonna go down there and help. I enjoy it."


When you say the "code doesn't carry over," it seems to be like you're contradicting what you said earlier. Could a completely new coding platform in fact be used to make an updated version of the game, as long as it is under the same license?
Recreating UQM in SCO would take a lot more footwork in the Creative Commons license than the GPL2 license because we can't edit the SCO code directly, but we can interpret some of UQM's code into the markup language SCO uses for a lot of its components.
Creating a UQM2 (Which I hope you wouldn't call "UQM2" for your sake) would fall under the same licenses if you decided to use the anything derived from UQM.
I don't care about SCO, I'm strictly focused on UQM and a supposed UQM 2. However, since it seems that SCO plays a role in determining who has the rights to what, I should know more about it.
If all of the art and coding for a..."proxy SC3" was created entirely from scratch, but the designs of the races and ships bared an exact resemblance and the title had some similarity to UQM, is that still acceptable under the GNU license? If anything it would only be intellectual aspect would be carried over, as in the inspiration is derived from UQM, but the actual content of the game wouldn't include anything from original UQM at all, it would all be new.
Perhaps an entirely different title is used like Star Explorer or Star Battle which are cliche, but if it's just a proxy it's not as important.
SCO has no bearing on UQM if you don't give a reason to.
Like if I were to start inserting SCO ships or aliens into the MegaMod, then Brad would have words to say to me.
Actually, probably not even then... I'd have to check with him on that.
I guess it might depend on how far I take it.
Anyways, back to the licenses.
Safest way to go about it is if you have a UQM alien in your fan sequel, say, a Supox. Just slap the Creative Commons license in a text file and keep it with the game.
But see, some of the SCO ships and races probably coincide with some of the UQM ships and races. Stardock supposedly claims they own the rights to everything UQM when they bought content at the bankruptcy auction, and that affects any kind of UQM sequel.
So again that seems to contradict what was stated earlier. You're saying by choosing to put *more* UQM races in that it will decrease the likelihood it infringes on the license?

If it has to do with UQM as it pertains to P&F, slap a GNU license on it. Simple.
Alright well I hope you're right. I'll see if others agree.
Well, again, it depends on exactly what you're doing.
You'd have to tell us exactly what you're planning to do in regards to alien art, ships, music, voices, etc.
If any of it relates back to UQM then you have to slap the appropriate license.
If you want to make money off of it then you'd have to license whatever you need directly from the original owners or license holders.
I've done some considerable footwork to find out who controls the SC2 3DO assets and have not received a single response from any of the individuals involved.
Paul definitely owns most of the voices since he and his family voiced a good chunk of them, as did Erol Otus and Greg Johnson. It might be another case of the individual owning their specific part or, like the art, is under assignment to P&F.
And as you've said, you wouldn't be using any of the old code so you wouldn't have to worry about the GPL2 license at all.
Making a fan-sequel to UQM shouldn't need any licenses involved from Stardock unless you plan to use their licenses.
Sorry, this slipped through the cracks in the rest of the excitement.
While this might be true, I would definitely check with a lawyer before relying on it. If your mod is useless without Stardock's commercial product, there's a plausible argument that it is driving sales of SC:O, and therefore serves a commercial purpose, which would be disallowed under the non-commercial requirements of the CC-NC license.
Take out "Stardock out of there and that's the virtual majority of mods.
Actually don't take "Stardock" out because there's already a mod out there called Seven Deadly Sins for Sins of a Solar Empire that uses CC content from UQM.
It's pretty damn useless without SoaSE.
Now, if P&F wanted to be vindictive they could say that they'll allow mods like Seven Deadly Sins but won't allow a UQM reboot in SCO.
If I was in your position, I would ask P&F how they felt about it, and respect their decision. I would give them that courtesy because they certainly could have chosen to use a more restrictive license, or to not open-source the game at all. But they did, and that's why we're all here. Obviously, you also have the option of deciding that you don't care what they think, and then seeing if they object enough to try to force the issue. But if it were me, I just wouldn't feel right doing that.
When it comes down to the moment I'll ask, but that's months from now and just a theoretical.
Depending on which directions certain things go with the MegaMod by that time I may reboot SC3 in SCO.
It's really all fluid right now.
Well, from my (still not-a-lawyer) read of Addendum 2 of the 1988 agreement, both Stardock and P&F will have to agree to the terms of that open-sourcing. I expect that P&F would have no objection to it in principle (they proposed doing so in their settlement agreement), but they might have concerns if it seems like it could lead to the SC2 races or ships showing up in SC:O. Stardock could certainly authorize bringing all of the SC3-unique elements to SC:O, though.

Mobilisation[]
7th Anti-Aircraft Division was created in 1939 by Anti-Aircraft Command to control the anti-aircraft (AA) defences of North East England, Yorkshire and Humberside. It took over brigades from 2nd AA Division, which then concentrated on defending the North Midlands and East Midlands, and from 3rd AA Division defending Scotland. Planned from February 1939 and established in June, the new division's exact responsibilities were still being worked out when war broke out. The Divisional headquarters (HQ) was at Newcastle upon Tyne and the first General Officer Commanding (GOC) was Major-General T.G.G. Heywood, who had been Brigadier, Royal Artillery, in Aldershot Command. AA Command mobilised fully on 24 August, ahead of the official declaration of war on 3 September.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

57th Light Anti-Aircraft Brigade – new brigade forming at Newcastle
13th Light AA Regiment, RA – light anti-aircraft (LAA) unit raised 1938

28th Light AA Regiment, RA – LAA unit raised August 1939
53, 112, 113 Btys
108, 121 Btys
7th AA Divisional Signals, Royal Corps of Signals (RCS) – formed 1939 at Darlington, possibly from elements of 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division Signals[10][11]
7th AA Divisional Workshop Company, Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC)
In practice, 39 AA Bde remained with 2 AA Division, but on 23 September 1939, responsibility for the Humber Gun Zone (including 30 HAA guns manned by 62nd (Northumbrian) and 91st AA Rgts) was transferred to 31 AA Bde from 39 AA Bde. This responsibility reverted to 39 AA Bde and 2 AA Division in May 1940.[12][13]
Phoney War[]
However, equipment was critically short. In August 1939 7th AA Division only had the following:[5][14]
3-inch LAA guns:	14
Bofors 40 mm and 2-pounder LAA guns:	22
Light Machine Guns (LMGs – mainly Lewis guns):	486
S/Ls:	673
(In addition to the LAA LMGs, each S/L position had an LMG for self defence).
Luckily, the months of the Phoney War that followed mobilisation allowed AA Command to address its equipment shortages. Gun Defence Areas (GDAs) with 3-inch or 3.7-inch HAA guns were established around Leeds, Teesside (including Middlesbrough and Billingham) and Tyneside (including Newcastle). Vital Points (VPs) such as RAF Fighter Command airfields and factories began to receive a few Bofors guns.[15]
AA Command was also desperate for manpower. When the War Office released the first intakes of Militiamen to the Command in early 1940, most were found to be in low physical categories and without training. 31st AA Bde reported that out of 1000 recruits sent for duty, '50 had to be discharged immediately because of serious medical defects, another 20 were judged to be mentally deficient and a further 18 were unfit to do any manual labour such as lifting ammunition'.[16] Fitness and training was greatly improved by the time Britain's AA defences were seriously tested during the Battle of Britain and Blitz.
In 1940, RA regiments equipped with 3-inch or 3.7-inch AA guns were designated Heavy Anti-Aircraft (HAA) to distinguish them from the new Light Anti-Aircraft (LAA) regiments, and RE AA battalions were transferred to the RA and designated Searchlight (S/L) regiments.
After the German invasion of the Low Countries in May 1940, Maj-Gen Heywood was appointed head of the British Military Mission to the Netherlands and briefly replaced as GOC of 7th AA Division by Maj-Gen J.E.T Younger, promoted from command of 57th LAA Bde. Within days, Younger was transferred to command 3rd AA Division and later was replaced by Maj-Gen R.B. Pargiter from 4th AA Division.[7][17][18]
Battle of Britain[]
Tyneside, Wearside, and Teesside were important strategic targets because of their high concentrations of heavy industry and ports. During the early part of the Battle of Britain, German day and night air raids and mine laying began along the East Coast of England, intensifying through June 1940. Thereafter the Luftwaffe concentrated on Royal Air Force sites in the South of England, with occasional raids on the North East, such as the period 12–15 August.[19]
On 15 August, in the belief that the defences of NE England had been denuded, Luftflotte 5 attacked across the North Sea from Norway. Some 65 Heinkel He 111 bombers of Kampfgeschwader 26 escorted by 35 Messerschmitt Bf 110 Zerstörer fighters of Zerstörergeschwader 76 were picked up on radar and ambushed by fighters of No. 13 Group RAF before they reached the coast. Those bombers that succeeded in breaking through then split into two groups, one being engaged by the guns of the Tyne GDA the other by the Tees GDA. Bombs were widely scattered and only at Sunderland was any major damage inflicted. KG 26 lost 8 bombers and 7 fighters for no loss to the RAF, in 'one of the most successful air actions of the war'.[20][21]
On 21 August, 7th AA Division had its guns distributed as follows:[22]
Leeds: 20 HAA
Teesside: 30 HAA
Tyneside: 50 HAA
Airfields of No. 13 Group RAF and other VPs: 14 HAA, 62 LAA, 270 LMG
Mobile: 4 HAA
S/L: 604
With the bulk of the fighting occurring further south, the mobile guns soon moved out of the division's area.
In September 1940 7th AA Division formed 7th AA Z Regiment equipped with rocket projectors.[23]
The Blitz[]
The Battle of Britain was followed by the Luftwaffe 's night Blitz on London and other industrial cities during the winter of 1940–41. Again, NE England escaped the worst of this, but hundreds of people died during the Newcastle Blitz and there were notable air raids on Tyneside on 9 April and Sunderland on 25 April.[24][25]
AA Command was now reaching its peak strength, and there was considerable reorganisation in November 1940. 31st and 39th AA Bdes transferred to a new 10th AA Division covering Yorkshire and Humberside, and 7th AA Division came under the command of 3 Anti-Aircraft Corps. 30th AA Bde was covering Tyneside and 43rd AA Bde covering Teesside, while 57th LAA Bde had become primarily a searchlight rather than LAA gun formation.[26]
3rd AA Division had the following composition during the Blitz:[27][28][29][30][31]
30th AA Brigade
63rd (Northumbrian) HAA Rgt – see above
64th (Northumbrian) HAA Rgt – see above
37th (Tyne Electrical Engineers) LAA Rgt – duplicate of 37th (TEE) S/L Rgt, see above
38th LAA Rgt (part) – unit shared with 10th AA Division
68rd LAA Rgt– new unit raised in December 1940[32]
7th AA Z Rgt – see above
43rd AA Brigade
8th (Belfast) HAA Rgt – returned from Dunkirk and re-equipped[33]
73rd HAA Rgt – returned from Dunkirk and re-equipped[33]
50th LAA Rgt – new unit raised in July 1940[32]
72nd LAA Rgt – new unit raised in January 1941[32]
47th (Durham Light Infantry) S/L Rgt – see above
41st LAA Rgt – new unit raised in January 1941[32]
46th (Lincolnshire Regiment) S/L Rgt – see above
53rd (Royal Northumberland Fusiliers) S/L Rgt – see above
7th AA Divisional Signals, RCS
7th AA Divisional RASC
907 and 923 Companies
7th AA Divisional Company, Royal Army Medical Corps
7th AA Divisional Workshop Company, RAOC
In 1941, 7th Divisional Signals became a 'Mixed' unit, indicating that women of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) were fully integrated into the unit.[11]
Mid-War[]
The main Blitz ended in May 1941, but occasional raids continued. Newly-formed AA units joined the division, the HAA and support units increasingly being 'mixed'. At the same time, experienced units were posted away for service overseas. This led to a continual turnover of units, which accelerated in 1942 with the preparations for the invasion of North Africa (Operation Torch) and the need to transfer AA units to counter the Baedeker Blitz and the Luftwaffe's hit-and-run attacks against South Coast towns.[34] In August 1942, 3rd AA Division was sent to the South Coast and 7th AA Division took over command of 36th (Scottish) AA Bde covering Edinburgh and the Forth.[35]
During the Baedeker raids in 1942, Middlesbrough and Billingham received two successive raids on the nights of 6 and 7 July, and another on 25 July. Sunderland was raided on 6 September, but most of the bombs fell wide of their targets.[36] The were also lone raiders, such as the Dornier bomber that hit Middlesbrough railway station on August Bank Holiday 1942.[37]
During this period the division was composed as follows:[31][35][35][38]
63rd (Northumbrian) HAA Rgt – left for War Office Control December 1941 preparatory to embarking for Ceylon[39][40]
64th (Northumbrian) HAA Rgt – left April 1942 preparatory to joining Operation Torch[41]
