MHHS softball moves to quarterfinals
Graham Thomas
Special to The Bulletin
SHERIDAN — Mountain Home made quick work of Texarkana in the opening round of the Class 6A State softball tournament on Thursday.
The Lady Bombers jumped out to a 2-0 lead and then scored five runs each in the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings to run rule the Lady Razorbacks, 12-2.
The Lady Bombers (16-14) advance to today's 6A quarterfinals at 12:30 p.m. against tournament host Sheridan, the No. 2 seed from the 6A-South.
"Winning the ball game always makes people happy, but we've got to be a little quicker tomorrow and come out and get our offense going," said Mountain Home coach Bobby Bevel. "I'm proud of these ladies. We've come a long way from the end of the season until now."
Riley Walker singled to open the bottom of the first and Macie Kelly reached on an error.
Walker made it 1-0 when she scored after Peyton Gunn popped out and the two fielders collided.
Brandee Strain's RBI single drove in Kelly and the Lady Bombers took a 2-0 lead in the first inning.
Texarkana got a run back in the third inning, and the score remained 2-1 until the fourth.
Strain reached on an error and she scored on Hannah Cantrell's double. Chassie Whitlow walked and Courtney Green's RBI single scored Cantrell.
Walker reached on a fielder's choice and Kelly ripped a two-run double to make it 6-1. Kelly would later come around to score as the Lady Bombers pulled ahead 7-1.
Texarkana got within 7-2 in the top of the fifth, but Mountain Home added five more runs to enforce the sportsmanship rule.
Cantrell was hit by a pitch and Whitlow and Walker each walked to load the bases with two outs. Kelly drew an RBI walk to make it 8-2, and Maly Tabor reached on a dropped third strike to score another run.
Gunn ripped a two-run double to make it 11-2, and the game ended with Sydnie Zimmer's RBI single.
Cantrell picked up the win for the Lady Bombers, pitching all five innings with one strikeout.
"They're playing hard," Bevel said. "They're playing good defense. It's just an exciting time. State tournament's a fun time."
The Lady Bombers played errorless softball, while Texarkana committed four errors.
"This time of year it's tight for a lot people," Bevel said. "In the state tournament, everybody knows it's one-and-done. Sometimes it does get a little tight. You've got to capitalize on those opportunities when they do happen. We did have some timely hitting along with capitalizing on those mistakes."
Kelly and Gunn had two hits apiece for Mountain Home, while Walker, Zimmer, Strain, Cantrell and Green had one hit apiece.
Mountain Home 12,
Texarkana 2
Texarkana 001 01 — 2 6 4

confusedly as I entered, his was the most cheerful. Sunning had his dog, a little blue Skye, on the bed beside him. He held out his left hand to me, for his right arm was crashed and powerless, and smiled. We had been friends, more so than I have had any occasion to mention in the course of this narrative, and I think he was glad to see me. He wished me to have the dog, he said, and I was to take him away with me, please, because he would not lie still much longer, "and he hasn't had his walk to-day." ... His eyes kept wandering from one member of the group to another, but always rested longest on his father, whose broad shoulders were turned towards me, and whose elbow I touched at last, feeling sure that the boy wanted to speak to him. Bracknell wheeled round hastily, and dropped on his knees beside the bed.
"" Yes, my boy," he said ; "what is it?"
«« Father," whispered Sunning, "you won't have Sheila shot, will you? I don't want Sheila to be shot."
· His eyes grew very large and piteous, and there was a quiver about the corners of his mouth. No doubt he had had some experience of his father's passionate nature, and feared that in a fit of unreasoning fury he might take vengeance on the irresponsible cause of his son's death. But Bracknell said grufily, " No, my boy ; nobody shall harm her. I'll swear that."
•Sunning gave a little sigh of relief, looked curiously at his father for a moment, and then turned his head towards Lord Staines, who was sitting on the other side of the bed, in a kind of nerveless stupor.
""Never mind, gran," he said ; " it does not hurt. And then you're so awfully old, gran-you'll come soon.
• After a time he beckoned to me, and put the dog in my arms. "Good-bye, Bluey," he whispered. The dog licked his face, and he patted its rough head, and then for the first time two great tears welled up into his eyes and flowed over. I bent over him and kissed him, and then I picked up the dog and went away. I had no right to intrude upon the scene which I knew was at hand; and besides, to tell the truth, I could not bear it any longer.'
Surely we have here a worthy successor to Thackeray and Sterne. The scene where Colonel Newcome says Adsum is certainly a more ambitious piece of description, and perhaps higher as a work of art ; but neither it nor the classical death of Le Fevre is more fully penetrated with the spirit of true pathos than the piece we have quoted, nor as free from any approach to artificiality of sentiment. Indeed, for the combination of high literary qualities which Mr. Norris possesses--a pure, refined, and scholarly style, unaffected pathos, gentle cynicism, quiet strokes of humour, and stimulating aperçus of society
we must go back to the most eminent of his predecessors. We do not find in any of his contemporaries the same characteristics united in the same degree.
ART. VII.-1. Reports of Committees of Inquiry into Public
Offices. 1848-1860. 2. Report on Civil Service Organization. 1853. . 3. Orders in Council of 4th June, 1870, and 19th August, 1871,
Establishing the System of Open Competition. 4. First and Second Reports of Civil Service Inquiry Commission.
1874 and 1875. 5. Order in Council of 12th February, 1876, constituting a
Lower Division of the Civil Service. 6. First and Second Reports of the Royal Commission appointed
to inquire into the Civil Establishments of the different Offices of State at home and abroad. 1887 and 1888. F any proof of the importance which necessarily attaches to
the proper organization of the Civil Service were required, it would be found in the list of documents which we have placed at the head of this Article. The enormous increase of the functions of government; the ever-widening range of operations over which it exercises control; the multiplication of the statutory provisions under which it acts upon our complex social economy; all these have made it a matter of everdeepening importance, that the details of this delicate and complicated machinery should be in the hands of an able, a trustworthy, and an energetic body of men.
But other causes, of a different kind, have also contributed to increase the interest felt in the constitution of the Civil Service. Democratic institutions are rapidly changing the whole tone of Parliament and the character of the men who, by obtaining commanding influence there, must be expected to occupy the great political offices of State. These are no longer confined as they formerly were, more or less exclusively, to a narrow class in which the traditions of government were strong, whose training in public life was begun in their earliest years, and was, indeed, an inheritance. The new type of statesman is represented, more and more every day, by those who have acquired influence amongst large masses of the people, and are little affected by traditions which embody the principles of a ruling caste. Their influence must be obtained by other means, and their experiences have generally lain in other spheres. The qualities which they bring with them when they enter upon high office may have their own value; but they are little fitted to teach them to appreciate the delicate machinery with which they have to deal. They are slow to perceive how narrow, after all, are the limits of their power; they overlook dangers which may arise from unwary generalship; they naturally hope for much from the free and
energetic energetic popular influences of which they believe themselves to be the exponents, and are impatient of restraint. Lastly, without any conscious bias, they may be unduly inclined to introduce into public administration the tactics of the caucus and of the electioneering manager. Some, indeed, of these features of modern political life are rather tendencies looming in the near future, than things actually realized. Even when they operate in their full strength, we are not disposed to lament them unduly, or to deny that they may supplant many opposite tendencies to narrowness, timidity, and routine. But unquestionably they impose a new responsibility on the permanent servants of the State. When presiding, in the autumn of last year, at the annual dinner of the Civil Service, Mr. Goschen did well to remind his audience, that they were receiving a new master, whose aims and moods it was their duty to learn, and to whose legitimate desires they must accommodate themselves without friction. We believe that the democracy will find that it has no good reason to complain ; that the traditions of the English Civil Service are as pure, its personnel as capable, and its sense of duty as strong as are those of any other service in the world. But it is evident that the task of adjusting itself to new relations will require tact, discrimination, and a high sense of duty. For the purpose, then, of providing for the smooth and at the same time the free exercise of all the complicated functions of state administration, working over so vast a sphere as ours, we require a Civil Service not only able, energetic, and trustworthy, but also tactful, foreseeing, and independent.
It is perhaps a matter of some regret that, to the ordinary public, any scheme of re-organization for the Civil Service, any inquiry into its conditions and rules, should so often wear the appearance, on the one hand, of a concession to the discontent of a class, or, on the other, of an investigation into abuses, which popular rumour readily accepts and inevitably exaggerates. We prefer now to deal with the question on an altogether different basis. If there is serious ground for discontent amongst the Civil Service, we should be glad to see it removed ; but we fancy that the official class would occupy a singular position amongst the professions if many of its members did not continue to find some ground for discontent. If there are real abuses, if sinecures still linger on, for which no good defence can be made, by all means let them disappear. But we gravely doubt whether there is any ground for discontent amongst civil servants, or any ground for distrust on the part
of the public, so serious as to demand investigation on a very
large large scale. Supervision, if really on the alert, and administration, if really vigorous, ought to be sufficient to deal with both. We wish to deal with the question on broader grounds, and with a more important object in view. Personal interests are apt to assume undue importance, and we wish to keep them in the background. Is the Civil Service, as a whole, after repeated attempts at reform, organized in such a way as to give us confidence that it can meet the new and delicate work that is accumulating upon it? Can it, as a body, be expected to maintain the fundamental principles of administration, and yet adapt itself readily to the times, to maintain confidence in its independence, and yet avoid offending the disposition of its new master? To enable it to do so, what elements in its present constitution must we be careful to preserve, and what modifications does it behove us to introduce? These are the questions to which we wish now to direct attention.
It would involve an inquiry of much interest, but considerable difficulty, were we to endeavour to trace with any completeness the history of the Civil Service. The subject, however important, has not been attractive to historians, who have preferred to follow the more dramatic aspects of political affairs; and the influence of the permanent servants of the Crown in moulding our institutions has not been sufficiently recognized to occupy much space in any contemporary record of events. We can only conjecture it by watching certain indications of under-currents, which give us some idea of the course which matters were taking. For a great part of our history the operations of Government were on a very
range.
The careful supervision of local government ; the elaborate inspectorial functions of the central executive; the administration of laws relating to trade ; the working of the great machine of colonial government; the conduct of intricate schemes of registration; the vast and complicated system for the regular collection of the revenue and the audit of public accounts; the administration of the Education Acts; all these, as we are only too apt to forget, either did not exist at all, or only existed in embryo, a few generations ago. Even the collection of the revenue, regulated by no strict and uniform method, seems very largely to have been in the hands of private contractors. The operations of the Mint were not seldom entrusted to private bands. The spending departments, whose operations were on whai we should consider a limited scale, audited their own accounts, so far as details were concerned. Difficulties of communication, and the distance of the provinces from the centre, prevented anything like effective central control. Much of the
administration was in the hands of the Court, and was transacted by men more or less in the position of Court officials. Even when intricate affairs rendered necessary the employment of experienced and trained men of business for the performance of detailed duties, the subordinates of these men were apparently employed by the men themselves, responsible only to them, and remunerated from funds placed at their disposal for the purpose. The superior officials were, as it happened, either men of sufficient astuteness to cover their political bias, and make themselves acceptable to successive administrations; or they bound up their interests with those of their political chiefs, made the most of their offices while they held them, and fell with the fall of these chiefs. Even Samuel Pepys, as Secretary of the Admiralty, acute and wary as he was, did not manage to keep himself free from the political vortex. Erasmus Lewis, the trusted official who supplied Harley's lack of industry, fell with the fall of his patron, absolutely beyond recall. At times the official, after having for years carried out the schemes of others, emerged from departmental obscurity into the position of ministerial responsibility, for which a parliamentary position was not always deemed an essential qualification. The nominal official might, in other cases, be a political or literary henchman, to whom office was a sinecure, while he arranged with a substitute to perform the duties of his post.
As the operations of Government increased, the band of those employed to carry out the details grew in number ; but their selection, their remuneration, and the terms of their tenure, remained unfixed and arbitrary. The result was confusion; the absence of any defined professional status or tradition ; and, as an almost certain consequence, wide-spread corruption. Patronage was openly abused; political partizanship was almost the only recommendation to employment; civil servants were despised; and they took the revenge which lay most ready to their hands.
But numerous as were the abuses, we believe that the very necessity of the case was working a change before the reconstruction which began some forty or fifty years ago. Patronage was still the only method of selection, and political partizanship the only means of securing a post. But already the principle of permanency was established, and a pension fund was granted. The legal rights and status of the servants of the State were recognised; administrative traditions were established; and Ministers found themselves surrounded by a band
a of men, not always energetic or inventive, but self-respecting, capable, and experienced. Even when our Civil Service was

New Miss America glad swimsuit was eliminated
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Miss New York, Nia Franklin, has been named 2019 Miss America in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
She was chosen Sunday night from among 51 contestants in the first Miss America pageant to be held without a swimsuit competition in its 98-year history.
Instead, contestants were asked an onstage interview question by other contestants.
And behind the scenes, a revolt was under way among most of the Miss America state organizations who demand that national chairwoman Gretchen Carlson and CEO Regina Hopper resign.
The outgoing Miss America, Cara Mund, says the two have bullied and silenced her, claims that the women deny.
The newly crowned Miss America says she's glad she didn't have to wear a swimsuit in order to win the crown and a $50,000 scholarship.
Franklin says she's happy the pageant eliminated the swimsuit competition this year.
She says she and the other 50 contestants "are more than just that."
Franklin returns the Miss America crown to New York, which won it three years in a row between 2013 and 2015.

Q: Random number of dice with random number of faces-Probability of getting a max number provided Suppose we have a vector $y$ that represent $m$ dice with a potentially varying number of faces (let's call this number $k_i$, where $i$ goes from $1$ to $m$). Let's also suppose that $x_{max}$ is an input that states the max number that can be present in any combination of the dice after being thrown, and that must be present in at least one of these.
I'm interested in the probability of such an event, so I would need a generic formula where I can provide a vector $y$ of $m$ dices with $k_i$ faces and max integer $x_{max}$.
I understand that the probability of at least one case occurring would be:
$$
P(X) = \prod_{i=1}^{m} \frac{1}{k_i}
$$
To consider all cases that fit the criterion I would need to multiply $P(X)$ by the number of all cases $n$, that would yield $P(T)$. This is where I'm having a problem: Im not sure how to arrive at the generic formula to calculate all the possible cases that fit the criterion.
I have arrived at a solution where I generate all permutations and discard the ones that fit the criteria, via programming, but it's not the most efficient method.
Here's a couple of examples:
$$
1) y = [2,5,8],
x_{max} = 8,
P(T) = 0.125
$$
$$
2) y=[2, 5, 7, 3],
x_{max} = 3,
P(T) = 0.180952380952
$$
$$
3)y = [3,4]
x_{max} = 2
P(T) = 0.25
$$

A: I'll write $x =x_{max}$. I'm assuming a dice with $k_i$ faces shows integers between $1$ and $k_i$.
We can consider this the probability that no die shows higher than $x$ (I.e. all dice show $\leq x$) minus the probability that all dice show $<x$. This comes out to (taking into account that probability cannot exceed $1$)
$$
{\prod_{i=1}^m \min\left\{\frac{x}{k_i},1\right\}} - {\prod_{i=1}^m \min\left\{\frac{x-1}{k_i},1\right\}}
$$

A: Let's try to reproduce your example (2)
So the dice have sides $2,5,7,3$, and  there are $2\times 5 \times 7 \times 3 = 210$ equally possible outcomes
We now want to count the ones where the maximum value is exactly $3$. Count the number of ways all the dice show less than or equal to $3$ and subtract the number of ways all the dice show less than or equal to $2$.  So $2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 - 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 54-16=38$
This gives a probability as $\frac{38}{210} \approx  0.18095$, as you found
In general this becomes $$\dfrac{\prod_i \min\left\{x_{\max},k_i\right\}   - \prod_i \min\left\{x_{\max}-1,k_i\right\}}{\prod_i k_i}$$

Chaffin Luhana and Najee Harris to Give Away 600 Turkeys in Greater Pittsburgh Area
Local Law Firm, Chaffin Luhana LLP, and Steelers Running Back, Najee Harris, to Offer Free Turkeys for Pittsburgh and West Virginia Families in Need This Thanksgiving
PITTSBURGH (PRWEB) November 09, 2022
Chaffin Luhana LLP, The Chaffin Luhana Foundation, and Pittsburgh Steelers Running Back, Najee Harris, along with his foundation, Da' Bigger Picture, are pleased to announce their campaign to fight food insecurity this holiday season with Chaffin Luhana's annual Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway.
The giveaway will take place in Pittsburgh, PA, and Hancock County, WV – two locations in which the firm has offices – on Tuesday, November 15th, and Wednesday, November 16th from 2:00-4:00 PM each day. Families must reserve a turkey ahead of time as supplies are limited. To reserve your turkey, please visit: https://www.chaffinluhana.com/turkey-giveaway/
According to the Feeding America organization, more than 34 million people, including 9 million children, in the United States are food insecure. The pandemic made things worse, particularly among families and communities of color, and today's economy has left many American families struggling to put food on the table.
In Pittsburgh alone, over 343,000 people are food insecure, according to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, with 96,030 of those being children. Hancock County, West Virginia, has a higher-than-average food insecurity rate of 12.6 percent, with a child food insecurity rate of 19.4 percent.
"Though the COVID-19 pandemic has receded," said Eric Chaffin, Founding Partner, "the struggle hasn't ended for many families in our area. We feel privileged to make this small contribution during what should be a happy time during the holiday season. Anyone who needs a helping hand is more than welcome to reserve a turkey on our website."
Anyone in need of a holiday turkey is encouraged to register for the event online. Chaffin Luhana and Najee Harris also invite everyone to register online as quantities are limited. Registrants should plan to arrive early at their designated pickup location to ensure they receive their turkey.

Chaffin Luhana and the Chaffin Luhana Foundation have long believed in giving back to the community through charitable contributions and scholarship donations. This year they have organized their annual Turkey Giveaway with Najee Harris, to give out hundreds of turkeys to those in need. This is the second year partnering with Najee Harris and his foundation for the event.
"I was once in the position of being homeless," Harris said, "so I have an idea what it's like to be facing the holidays in a difficult situation. I want to bring awareness to that struggle and give back to those families who are in need. Sometimes a little help can let people know, particularly children, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Partnering with the Chaffin Luhana and their Foundation has helped me broaden my reach while sharing my values and mission with people with the same goals."
Harris' Da' Bigger Picture Foundation focuses on assisting underserved families in reaching their highest potential while providing tools and assistance to families facing challenging times.
"We're honored to work with Najee on this event and other charitable initiatives," said Founding Partner, Roopal Luhana. "Too many families continue to struggle in our area, as these remain challenging times. Our firm motto is 'Doing Good By Doing Right,' and we intend through our combined efforts to follow through on that mission during this holiday season."

This is the upscaled model of our queen square (queens square) percussor. Nothing else like it is available anywhere but here. Our exclusive hammer with stem on stainless steel head to reduce breakage, "never hard" silicone bumper, reasonable 16 inch handle. This is an attention getter. It is an excellent and very flashy knee hammer. This is the same as the other model except every dimension is scaled up by 50% (with the exception of the handle, which is scaled up from 12 inches to 16 inches, not 18). 3 inch diameter bumper around a solid stainless steel head. CE approved. You do the math. 1.5 times 1.5 times 1.5. By volume or by weight, that's 3.375 times the steel and 3 times the handle for 10 times the hammer. At 8.8-8.9 ounces, that is even more than our Troemner. Fortunately a huge bumper means a huge surface area to spread the force over, so it won't leave a crater in your patients on impact. White nylon handle with a point at the end for pressure testing and a plastic guard to keep you from poking yourself with the point accidentally.
IMPORTANT NOTICE! It has come to our attention that these percussors resist their handles being twisted in all the way. If you only screw them in for 2 rotations, they will be prone to breaking off in the head when dropped. Make sure you keep turning even when it begins to resist until it is screwed in absolutely as far as it will go to minimize the chance of this happening!
This is a new innovation from Medworks. It may be named after a certain eminent physician at a certain eminent university who may make it his signature hammer, but at the moment that certain person seems to be undecided. He is, however, the one who said it was an "excellent knee hammer". Get yours today and be one of the first with the ultra queen square percussor! Even amateurs can't HELP but get a reflex response with this on the first try, it is almost impossible not to!

Introduction to Racing
Before YW's editorial assistant begins her training for the Fastnet, she decided to get a bit of round-the-cans racing experience during the Warsash Spring Series. Jo Cackett reports
With no racing experience I jumped at the chance to attend Sailing Logic's Introduction to Racing course. A two-weekend course that involves training on the Saturday and racing in the Warsash Spring Series on the Sunday. Although offshore racing is a much different experience to inshore round-the-cans racing, it still gave me a chance to experience the pressures of racing with a crew.
Aboard we had a few experienced racers and others like me who wanted to get the first taste of it. Most sought after the course to escape full-time work and the office daily grind. Our skipper, Philippe Falle, also trains Global Challenge crews so is no stranger to inexperienced sailors, as well as his first mate Sara who is the Global Challenge Crew Volunteer Coordinator.
The first weekend of the Warsash Spring Series was a little fickle. On the Saturday we trained on the Solent from Southampton with a good breeze and the sun shining. Shuffling around crew positions, we attempted a few spinnaker hoists and a mock race with the other Sailing Logic boats.
But when we reached the calms of the popular Osbourne Bay for lunch the bobbing of the boat led my stomach to bob with it. I kept my composure, nibbled on my baguette and tried to shake the seasick queasiness for the rest of the afternoon. If I was going to be like this on calm waters how would I be when it's rough? But I didn't want to relegate myself to a diet of Stugeron tablets – yet!
On the cruise back the tide was low and to our amusement our Reflex 38 friend, Jaguar, managed to run themselves aground. We attempted to throw them a line but couldn't get close enough without burying ourselves and so had to leave them to wait for the high tide to creep up. It seems Jaguar weren't the only ones as we sailed past one boat sitting high and dry on a sandy bank! Needless to say we met a tired and hungry crew at The Whyte Harte pub in Hamble later that evening.
The excitement for our first race was dissipated by the lack of wind on Sunday morning. Cruising around the Eastern Solent in a light, cold north-westerly for a few hours it seemed our chances at racing were slim. But a puff of 6kt breeze from the south-west meant we were off at 1pm. The committee decided to race IRC Class 1 and IRC Class 2 at the same time, just to make things a bit more interesting!
The start line was a hustle but beating upwind, our tacking was smooth and spinnaker changes good enough for a bunch of beginners. But the second downwind leg led us to lose pace, after having problems hoisting the spinnaker. Towards the finish line we were forced to put in two tacks that left us behind Sailing Logic boat Panther, but still in front of the other two Reflex 38s. We were happy with our efforts.
After another tough day's training in the Solent on Saturday, we were ready for the next day's race. Skipper Philippe, was keen on getting us on different jobs around the boat while we were racing, and although I had been training well in the cockpit on the guy I moved onto the trimming of the spinnaker instead when racing – not a great move!
With perfect racing conditions of 18-20 knots of wind and sunshine in the afternoon, we were firing along after a good start. Already I could sense the teamwork between myself winching and tailing with crewmates Kathy and Sara, and the helmsman and bowmen. But it seems I spoke too soon, as my inexperience on the spinnaker contributed to it wrapping around the forestay in a moment of panic on a gybe. Despite losing our speed, the spinnaker unwrapped itself and we were off for an exciting finish that unfortunately was spoiled by a boat from another class slam-dunking us… We were very happy to hear we came seventh so it was slaps on the back all round and a few Mount Gay rum and cokes!
All in all it was a terrific course that I'd recommend to anyone keen to get racing, for all levels of experience. I only have one regret and that's accidentally dropping my underpants from my sail bag as I climbed out of the boat for a shower only to return to see them flying off the forestay!!
