What was thought could’ve been a close game ended via the 10-run as Japan defeated Tennessee 12-2 to win the 2012 Little League World Series.
Kotaro Kiyomiya led Japan from the mound, throwing four innings while only allowing one run—a home run to Tennessee’s Brock Myers. That was the only hit of the day off of Kiyomiya as he also struck out eight. Noriatsu Osaka allowed a home run to Lorenzo Butler in the fifth inning, but that was all that Tennessee could strike for.
Osaka was the MVP from the plate as he went 4-for-4 with three home runs, including a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Japan wins their eighth Little League World Series behind a perfect 5-0 record in Williamsport, Pa.

THE ZEMANTA PROGRAM GIVES ME ‘A SECOND SET OF HANDS’
Let me introduce myself, I am the former owner, publisher and editor of the Gloucester City News Inc., (GCN) a weekly newspaper. The Gloucester City News, located in Gloucester City NJ, was incorporated in 1929. Our family owned the paper from 1948 to 2005. We also owned the Camden County Record, a weekly with circulation in the City of Camden NJ.
From the time I was a little guy I wanted to be a reporter. I started my newspaper career in 1966 at the age of 21. In 1978 my father retired an I was named editor of both newspapers. My wife Connie and I brought the Gloucester City News in 1985. Although we no longer own it, I still write a weekly column for the Gloucester City News.
Looking for another avenue to express my views we launched ClearysNoteBook (CNBNews.net) on July 31, 2006. It was touch and go in the very beginning as I knew nothing about building a website. Once I got the hang of it I had a ball. After all those years of running a weekly newspaper I could now write a breaking news story that would be viewed immediately across the wide world web. I was amazed that I could easily build a photo album loaded with pictures of a football game. The idea that I could shoot a video of a sporting event, or a parade and have it loaded on my site was also a thrill.
A few years ago CNBNews helped in the capture of a bank robber. Local police reached out to our news site with a photo of the suspect. Within hours the man was caught thanks in part to that alert posted on CNBNews.
CNBNews is a one man show. On a daily basis I view 200 emails looking for topics that are news worthy. I write commentary, edit copy submitted for posting, shoot photos and videos, design ads, talk with customers and so forth. In between I am posting 12 to 20 articles a day, seven days a week.
A watch lets you know that weather conditions are favorable for a hazard to occur. It literally means \”be on guard!\” During a weather watch, gather awareness of the specific threat and prepare for action – monitor the weather to find out if severe weather conditions have deteriorated and discussed your protective action plans with your family.
Across the continent, there have been more tornado sightings than ever before so it is more important now than ever to pay attention to the tornado warning signs listed in this article.
A warning requires immediate action. This means a weather hazard is imminent – it is either occurring (a tornado has been spotted, for example) – or it is about to occur at any moment. During a weather warning, it is important to take action: grab the emergency kit you have prepared in advance and head to safety immediately. Both watches and warnings are important, but warnings are more urgent.

follows shortly after. There will be a lot of red meat at these conventions, and not just at the steakhouses in Tampa and Charlotte. No, we will see a lot of pandering to the conservative and liberal bases, a bunch of lofty rhetoric, numerous false accusations, and plenty of mugging for the camera. What we won’t see discussed is much in the way of the important, politically-tough solutions that are necessary for the country to move away from the fast approaching fiscal chasm. ![\"Enhanced](\"http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_c.png?x-id=7cd109af-9430-46e5-9fc6-4c9a9cd44444\")
