Ulster have named Tommy Bowe on the wing for their trip to Cardiff, which is their first rugby action since the recent death of Nevin Spence.
Ulster have named Tommy Bowe on the wing for their trip to Cardiff Blues, which is their first rugby action since the recent death of Nevin Spence.
Mark Anscombe has continued the rotation policy which has served his side so well since the start of his tenure. The New Zealander has made five personnel changes and a further three positional switches to the starting line-up which started in the 20-19 home win over Munster two weeks ago.
Bowe will start in his familiar position of right wing, with Andrew Trimble switching to the left to accommodate him. As a result, Michael Allen moves into outside centre and Darren Cave shifts in to fill the number twelve jersey worn by Luke Marshall in the first three games of the season.
Scrum-half Paul Marshall, fly-half Paddy Jackson and full-back Jared Payne have all retained their places from the Munster match.
Up front, captain Johann Muller has picked up a knock and is replaced in the second-row by Neil McComb. Ireland lock Dan Tuohy will make his first appearance of the season after being named alongside McComb in the engine room. Fellow international Chris Henry will also play for the first time this season and will captain in the absence of Muller. Stephen Ferris has been rested so Iain Henderson joins Henry and Nick Williams in the back-row.
Meanwhile, Bradley Davies will make his 100th appearance for the Blues on Friday.
The Blues go into the match with confidence, with their only defeat in the opening four rounds a 19-21 loss at home to Edinburgh in round two.
"Friday I think will be our sternest test against the Heineken Cup finalists," said coach Phil Davies.
"It's going to be Ulster's first game back since the tragic news they received a fortnight ago about Nevin Spence.
"We are paying due respect to the situation Ulster are in and how they feel by matching that emotion and that level of performance.
"Hopefully we will have a great game as a tribute to a great rugby player and a great Ulsterman."
On Davies becoming a centurion, Davies added words of praise for the powerful lock.
"Bradley was one of the first players to have come through the system at the Blues, playing age grade rugby for Blues North and Under 18's before joining the Blues academy," he said.
"He has gone on to perform consistently for the Blues as well as for Wales and I'm sure it's a big day for him.
"Bradley is one of the stalwarts of the Cardiff Blues and I'd like to congratulate him on reaching a landmark 100 games for the region."
Form: Cardiff Blues only defeat in the opening four rounds of this season's RaboDirect PRO12 was 19-21 at home to Edinburgh in round two. The Blues have won just two of their last five home games, but have been victorious in their last two home fixtures with Irish provinces. Ulster return to action following the tragic circumstances of last week's postponement of the clash with Zebre in Italy. The Ulstermen have won all three PRO12 encounters so far this season, whilst their only defeat in their last five clashes with Welsh regions came in this equivalent fixture last season. Each side won its respective home game when the two teams met last campaign, whilst Ulster's only win at the Arms Park since 2003 came on 9 September 2005.
The teams:
Cardiff Blues: 15 Dan Fish, 14 Harry Robinson, 13 Dafydd Hewitt, 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 Tom James, 10 Jason Tovey, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Andries Pretorius (c), 7 Sam Warburton, 6 Robin Copeland, 5 James Down, 4 Bradley Davies, 3 Taufa'ao Filise, 2 Andi Kyriacou, 1 Nathan Trevett.
Replacements: 16 Rhys Williams, 17 Campese Ma'afu, 18 Scott Andrews, 19 Lou Reed, 20 Rory Watts-Jones, 21 Rob Lewis, 22 Gareth Davies, 23 Tom Williams.
Ulster: 15 Jared Payne, 14 Tommy Bowe, 13 Michael Allen, 12 Darren Cave, 11 Andrew Trimble, 10 Paddy Jackson, 9 Paul Marshall, 8 Nick Williams, 7 Chris Henry (c), 6 Iain Henderson, 5 Dan Tuohy, 4 Neil McComb, 3 John Afoa, 2 Nigel Brady, 1 Tom Court.
Replacements: 16 Rob Herring, 17 Callum Black, 18 Adam Macklin, 19 Lewis Stevenson, 20 Mike McComish, 21 Michael Heaney, 22 Paddy Wallace, 23 Craig Gilroy.

Tipping is considered optional in Greece, but considering that most waiters and waitresses earn a low wage, rounding up the bill is considered polite. Tipping extra for good service is a personal choice – use discretion.
Internet access is good in Greece and internet cafes are easily found in most cities and major towns.
Mobile phone coverage is generally very good on mainland Greece, but less so on some of Greece's more remote islands. Ensure global roaming is activated before you arrive.

Ticket for short metro trip = 2 Euro
Takeaway souvlaki = 2-3 Euro
Greek coffee in a cafe = 4 Euro
Beer in a bar or cafeteria = 4-6 Euro
Simple meal at a restaurant = 12 Euro
Drinking water from taps in Greece is considered safe, unless otherwise marked (tap water may not be of drinkable quality on some of Greece's small and remote islands).
Major credit cards are widely accepted by stores in Greece. Smaller cafes and shops may not accept credit cards so ensure you carry enough cash to cover small purchases.
ATMs are common in Greece, so finding one won't be a problem in most towns and cities.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip.

2011 Summer Universiade: CIS standouts to represent Canada in men's volleyball
OTTAWA (CIS) – Canadian Interuniversity Sport, in conjunction with Volleyball Canada, announced the 14 student-athletes who will represent Canada in men's volleyball at the 26th Summer Universiade from August 12-23, 2011, in Shenzhen, China.
2011 Summer Universiade website: http://www.sz2011.org/Universiade
Team Canada website: http://english.cis-sic.ca/universiade/summer
The Red and White roster is comprised exclusively of CIS standouts including six all-Canadians from the past season. Highlighting the selection are reigning CIS player of the year Graham Vigrass from the University of Calgary, CIS championship MVP Rudy Verhoeff from national champion Trinity Western, as well as libero of the year Blair Bann from UBC.
Vigrass, a native of Calgary who represented Canada at the 2009 junior world championship in India, has been phenomenal over the last two university campaigns. The 6-foot-8 middle was named CIS championship MVP in 2010 after he led the Dinos to their first national title in 17 years and earned player-of-the-year honours this season as he guided the U of C to the Canada West banner and a CIS bronze medal. He is the Canada West nominee for the BLG Award which will be presented to the CIS male athlete of the year on May 16.
Verhoeff, who hails from Victoria, was named to the second all-Canadian unit this year before leading the Spartans to CIS gold. The 6-foot-6 left side hitter was chosen game MVP after each of the three Trinity Western victories at the CIS tournament.
Bann was named CIS' top libero three times during his Thunderbird career. The 6-foot Edmonton native is one of two returning players from the 2009 Universiade in Belgrade, Serbia, along with Dalhousie left side Sander Ratsep of London, Ont.
Rounding out the roster for the Shenzhen Games are setters Jay Blankenau of Sherwood Park, Alta., and Ciaran McGovern of Grande Prairie, Alta., both from the Calgary Dinos; Queen's Joren Zeeman of Cambridge, Ont., and Alberta's Spencer Leiske of Lacombe, Alta., on the right side; McMaster middle Tyler Santoni of Kingston, Ont.; Laval's Karl De Grandpré of Pierreville, Que., Trinity Western's Marc Howatson of Victoria, Manitoba's Chris Voth of Winnipeg and UNB's Jacob Kilpatrick of Saint John, N.B., on the left side; and Laval libero Pierre-Alexis Lapointe of La Malbaie, Que.
Nine of the 14 players heading to China were already on the national B team last summer including Vigrass, Verhoeff, Bann, Blankenau, McGovern, Zeeman, De Grandpré, Howatson and Lapointe.
Canada is coming off a sixth-place finish in 2009 in Serbia, which marked the country's third best finish in men's volleyball at the world university games trailing only a pair of silver medals claimed in 2007 in Bangkok, Thailand, and in 1983 in Edmonton.
In Shenzhen, the Canadians will compete in the preliminary round in Pool A against host China, Switzerland, Australia and Norway. The tournament will run from August 12-22 (detailed schedule to be released at a later date).
The defending Universiade champion is Russia, which overcame a two-set deficit to edge Canada 3-2 in a thrilling quarter-final match in Belgrade.
Before heading to China, Team Canada will play exhibition matches from June 5-10 in Gatineau, Que., against the selections from Brazil and Argentina that will participate in the Pan Am Cup. The Canadians will then fly to Slovenia in mid-July to continue their preparation.
Canada's coaching staff for the Universiade was announced on April 12.
Acting as head coach will be two-time CIS coach of the year Larry McKay from the University of Winnipeg. McKay, who has been at the helm of the Wesmen for 22 seasons, was Canada's head coach at the 2001 under-21 world championship.
His assistants will be Ben Josephson from reigning CIS champion Trinity Western and Steve Leknois from the Royal Military College.

100 Percent For Kids Credit Union Education Foundation awarded $13,244 to two schools in Emery County School District on Aug. 25.
Huntington Elementary received $8,394 during a presentation at the school.
With this grant, Huntington Elementary will be able to purchase Smartboards, interactive whiteboards that will allow students to learn multiple subjects that redefines education and curriculum through the use of technology. Teachers will be able to access computer programs that will allow the board to project websites and other computer programs that follow the core curriculum.
"Today's students live in a world that is extremely fast-paced, constantly changing, increasingly culturally diverse, technologically driven and media-saturated, and we cannot continue to deliver a 20th century, scientific-management, factory-model education," said Collette Clement, teacher at Huntington Elementary. "The new context of the 21st century requires that we redefine education, school, curriculum, teacher and learner. It requires that we provide an education designed to help our students truly succeed."
San Rafael Junior High received $4,850 during a presentation at the school.
The grant will help the school purchase a kiln and compressor that is used for airbrush and etched glass projects. As part of the core for Art Foundations I and II classes, ceramics are introduced and projects are completed that follow the core guidelines.
"We teach students slab pottery, coil pottery, pinch pots, glass etching and airbrush projects as part of the core curriculum to introduce different art mediums to the students," said Kelli Nelson, art teacher at San Rafael Junior High.
"The Credit Unions are excited to provide these schools with the opportunity to use technology to improve and complete core curriculum guidelines," said former Utah Senator Paula Julander, Director of 100 Percent For Kids Credit Union Education Foundation. "These tools will greatly enhance student's ability to advance in their core studies."
100 Percent of donations made to the 100 Percent for Kids Credit Union Education Foundation will reach Utah classrooms; not one cent will be spent on administrative costs. The Foundation will award $82,082 to Utah schools this quarter. The Foundation has awarded more than $3 million to schools since its inception in 2002. To make a donation, contact: Foundation Coordinator Liz Bourne, 1805 South Redwood Road, Salt Lake City, UT 84104, (801) 887-2329 or visit: www.100percentforkids.com.

Almost 900,000 extra people will be pulled into the 40 per cent tax band over the next two years, meaning that more people will have been dragged into the higher-rate net under George Osborne than any other Chancellor in history.
The threshold for higher-rate tax, currently £42,475, will drop to £41,450 on April 6 and Mr Osborne confirmed yesterday that next spring it will rise to £41,865, an increase of just 1 per cent. That is below the current level of inflation and wage rises and, as a result, about 880,000 more people will be pushed into the 40 per

On March 27, the SouthEastern Utah Off Highway Vehicle Club hosted its fifth annual Swell Cure for Cabin Fever poker ride. Though the day was blustery, and the weather couldn't decide if it should snow or shine, for the most part, the day was a success.
Riders came from Emery, Carbon, Salt Lake and Utah counties to name a few. Several riders drove in from Grand Junction to spend the day in the Swell.
Many people brought the entire family to enjoy the day together, many were also accompanied by the family pet. Everyone seemed to enjoy the ride, in spite of the fickle spring weather.
The San Rafael Swell did not disappoint the 258 riders, as the trail was excellent. Several riders were able to view the desert big horn sheep and many also saw antelope.

|In response to Re: Public toilets
: Why is that the type of toilets used in public restrooms...the type with no tank that are wall hung...are not used in homes? It seems they would be more efficient, require less maintenance and be easier to clean around and under.
They would require less maintenance if they were used in a home because there's only three to eight people daily use in the home, The public commercial installations receive three to eight person per ten minute usage, and use a two inch supply, and a six inch drain waste vent line - much too costly for residential installation. The spring loaded tankless flush toilets are not maintenance free, either. Public restrooms require a full time maintenance person (OR LICENSED CONTRACTOR ) to maintain these toilets, flush valves, springs, diaphragms, and piping.

A tragic phenomenon which is taking a terrible toll on everyone involved.
There is a dire phenomenon rising in Europe that is crippling entire societies and yet the continent sleeps, refusing not only to confront the destructive elephant in the room, but also to admit its very existence.
The troubling reality being referred to is the widespread practice of Muslim inbreeding and the birth defects and social ills that it spawns.
The tragic effect of the Lefts control of the boundaries of debate is that any discussion about vital issues such as these marks an individual as an Islamophobe and a racist.
A person who dares to point at the pathology of inbreeding in the Muslim community is accused of whipping up hatred against Muslim people.
But all of this could not be further from the truth. To fight against inbreeding anywhere is to defend humanity and to defend innocent babies from birth defects.
Fighting against this Islamic practice stems from a pro-Muslim calling, since identifying destructive ideologies and practices in Islam enables the protection of the Muslim people from harm.
Massive inbreeding
(Excerpt) Read more at clashdaily.com ...
Well, this explains a lot.
It makes an endless supply of bombers who are set off remotely. What Mohammed pig could resist that?
We should let them know that their particular predilection is perfectly normal and that they should continue no, increase its incidence.
(Just don't tell them that the truth of the matter is that Mother Nature will b!tch-slap them into extinction... The sooner the better).
I guess they're real when they say 'cuz' ...
Then who is smart enough to build the bomb? Judging by this article not these people.
Is there something in the Koran about that? I know it tells them how to wipe their butt.
Actually, not all autosomal recessives are harmful.
The Moslem preference for first cousin marriage may well be based on folk wisdom that allows those societies to isolate schizophrenia (and 5 other serious mental problems) from the rest of society.
I went looking for the incidence of schizophrenia on the net and found that in the US we have a 1.2% average incidence. African Americans have triple that incidence. Some old studies suggested Checnyans were as high as 9% ~ they, BTW, have some strange marriage rules ~ one set for women and a different set for men. They seem geared to minimizing harmful autosomal recessives, so there may again be a folk observation about breeding habits and resultant mental problems.
Just guessing but given the extreme legalism found in Islam, their schizophrenia rate is probably up around 20% or maybe even more!
Bet it's difficult to find moderates in that crowd ~ but rather easy to locate a suicide bomber, or someone happy to kill people for no reason at all.
Recently these sodomites have moved into my area. They are not trying to be American. They want to impose their ways. There will be a day of reckoning.
Every Culture is Equally Valid. I say don't interfere. (evil laughter).
Preaching to the choir here.
"Actually incest doesn't CREATE troublesome genes ~ it merely creates more opportunities for harmful autosomal recessive genes to do a mix and match job. "
Ever see the movie "Wrong Turn" Or "Wrong Turn part 2, 3 and 4"???
Yea it is kinda like that. Basically what you just said only someone had to go put it on the silver screen.
Since women are in mortal danger from muslim men, it makes sense to only allow your daughter to marry a blood relative.
That she is a close blood relative provides some slight protection from the horrific abuse a non-related woman would get.
You might be able to reign in your brother or your cousin as your daughter's husband, some guy from another village? No way.
Only a fool would believe they lack the ability to make and use bombs.
Anti-incest app built by Iceland college students
Nidhi Subbaraman NBC News
April 17, 2013 at 3:16 PM ET
The ÍslendingaApp SES(Beta) built by Sad Engineer Studios.
A group of students at the University of Iceland in Reykjavík have created an Android app that prevents Icelanders from accidentally dating their cousins.
The app draws information from the Íslendingabók database, a national record of Iceland residents and family trees dating back into the Middle Ages.
Arnar Aðalsteinsson, Alexander Helgason and Hákon Björnsson, in their final year at the University of Iceland, entered and won an app-building contest sponsored by the tenders of the Íslendingabók database.
When you tap phones with someone who has the app, it brings up an alert if the owners of the two phones share a grandparent. (Of course, if you don't already know who you share a grandparent with, incest may be the least of your problems, but the team says it is looking into functionality for spotting common great grandparents, too.)
The feature is called "Sifjaspellsspillir" which directly translates to "Incest Destroyer," though the team prefers the phrase "Incest Spoiler."
The app has been downloaded 3,651 times at their last check, the team told NBC News. An app for the iPhone is very likely on the way, they say.
"Genealogy is the kind of the national hobby of Iceland," Friðrik Skúlason, a software engineer who first started building the Íslendingabók database in the 1980s, told NBC News. "On average if you pick two people on the street at random you will find they are related 6 or 7 generations back."
The database was taken over by genetics company DeCode. Íslendingabók is now a free database for anyone with an Iceland national identification to use online, where they can trace relatives and their contact information.
"[Iceland] is a small community with extensive records gong back centuries, and everybody is related to everybody else," Skúlason told NBC News. "The database contains every single person who is currently alive or that we have been able to find any information about for the past 1,100 years."
He hasn't used the app himself, but Skúlason imagines it will make for good pickup lines at a bar. "My phone would really like to know if it's related to your phone there are possibilities," he says. Although, he adds, most people already know each others' close relatives well.
About two-thirds of the country has accessed the database at least once, he says, with spikes in activity during Christmas, "I guess when people are writing Christmas cards and trying to remember what is the name of Uncle Joe's third child and so on," and during the summer, when people plan the traditional family reunions.
I think the picture at the link is of someone with the "elephant man" syndrome, not necessarily a problem with genetic issues.
Quite a few Islamics in US psych hospitals.
Remember, just because a gene is recessive doesn't mean it's bad, nor does being dominant make it good.
There are two main reasons for first-cousin marriage:
1) Bride-price (mahr): the groom is supposed to pay a dowry to the woman, which serves as her alimony in case of divorce. Marry a first cousin, and the money stays in the family.
2) Avoiding dividing clan loyalty: marrying somebody from the same clan ensures that the loyalty of the children is not divided.
Not that it's not just first-cousin marriage, you are supposed to marry your first cousin on your FATHERs side, which concentrates male-oriented recessive genes even further.
The House of Widsor is not British in origin. No doubt back in the early Dark Ages the German tribes over did the incest thing, but again, the Brits are not Germans.
I agree....let them continue. Allah wants retarded followers.
You add Islamic teaching on top of that cake and there you have it!
That is why any who claim to be moderate are just blowing smoke to enjoy the priviledges of being here...they could give two cents about this country or they would deny ISlam and their dastardly prophet...and burn their Koran.
Until then they are not to be trusted no matter how or what they say.
My understanding is 100% of them , if they are tested, have some form of PTSD...and varying other mental issues.
When you look at their prophet anyone who follows his teachings is going to have some form of mental illness...
Some interesting facts from a New Book...
"The Mental Illness of the Prophet Muhammed"
....the five oldest and most trusted 'Islamic sources' do not portray Muhammad a superior being or any kind Godly mercy for mankind. The sources reveal that he was a thief, a liar, an assassin, a pedophile, a shameless womanizer, a promiscuous husband, a rapist, a mass-murderer, a desert pirate, a warmonger, a spineless coward and a calculating and ruthless tyrant. It is certainly not the character profile of the founder of a true religion.
....given some of Muhammad's well-known documented behaviors, it is certain that he had a conflict-ridden psychological dependence on others..... He equated love with weakness and feared intimacy...... He inflicted pain and abuse on others as his second nature.....
He was unable to give his followers a reason to live, so he gave them enough reasons to die die in Allahs name to enter paradise...... He could not convince the Arabs to choose his religion based upon its merits, so he threatened them with damnation....... The religion he preached was more about fantasy, less about proof.
A person who, among other atrocities, orders, and then watches, the beheading of 800 innocent people, and beds the wife of a man whom he had tortured to death on the same night cannot be considered psychologically normal..... Common sense alone tells us that a 51-year-old man, who marries a 6-year-old girl, is abnormal..... The notion that a godly revelation would focus on the sexual desires of a lecherous man is really disgusting.
Muhammad had shown all the symptoms of his lunacy and his prophetic claim was based on the quicksand of grand delusion.... But the irony is that the entire religion of Islam is based on the truth claim of such a man, who could easily swing back and forth between the two extremes reality and fantasy.
Religion was just a cause for Muhammad. He actually worshipped his own image not God..... He had created Allah in his own image and attributed to that God the qualities of his own self...... Allah was a plastic entity that Muhammad shaped to meet his needs.....
That is why Allah seems a multidimensional entity in the Quran, an obedient servant that Muhammad used on all occasions, from managing the harem affairs of his wives to swearing to punish mercilessly whosoever disagrees with His beloved messenger.
No religion in the world has ever destroyed family ties as Muhammad has done in Islam.
Him or that sasquatch he married?
All the other stuff was created in Damascus a long time after the man's death.
If you love your daughter you have very little choice. In islam she is a slave so that daughter you love, you keep her close where you have some say on her treatment (your clan or close family) otherwise if you care nothing for her you marry her outside the clan or family where you have no say on her treatment in a society that has taught their men women are from the devil and a lower life form that you can beat or betray on a whim.
Mulsim incest is a form of love believe it or not. Islam is a sick religion and only leads to evil even when you are trying your best to protect those you love.
PapaBear3625 has some other valid points at post 19.
Different take, same net result.
I wonder to what degree the spread of Islam was on the influx of fresh DNA / outbreeding via the captured concubines. The first generation took over by surprise and zeal - the second through training by experienced warriors and without inbreeding depression of their intelligence.
Saudi Arabia Awakes to the Perils of Inbreeding
New York Times
01 May 2003
And I thought it was just sheep and goats they were bonking ...
Could not the same be said of Christianity? After all Hell is a part of Christian cosmology and theolgoy too.
The problem with inbreeding is one of receiving two copies of the same messed up gene. Not one of having an extra chromosome i.e. trisomy 21.
Muslims are dangerous and dangerously inbred. I have been posting this to FR for years. Maybe it's catching on.
Ask anyone who knows anything about Britain's National Health. It is in real danger of actually being bankrupted by the statistical anomaly presented by the huge number of Pakistani Birth defects.
Saudis? Huge numbers are drooling fools: deaf, cross-eyed, bad kidneys, polydactilism, strange body morphism, tragic Birth Defects, and nuttier than fruitcakes.
The Saudi government is feverishly subsidizing the importation of suitable foreign Muslim breeding stock in order to open up the gene pool.
Getting back on topic, if we're looking for a royal personage who was a victim of inbreeding depression the clearest candidate is Carlos II (1661-1700), the last Habsburg king of Spain. Most history books will tell you his deficiencies were the result of excessive inbreeding, but let's look at the evidence for ourselves.
*Technically* it's not incest, at least as our society currently defines that. Incest is a sexual relationship with a *near* blood relative such as sibling, parent, or grandparent. Breeding with cousins isn't incest ... it's just icky.
The term the writer should have used was "inbreeding" rather than "incest." Interestingly, inbreeding is sometimes used by breeders of horses, etc. in search of strengthening a particular physical trait. But of course, horse breeders have the freedom to cull the genetic disasters.
Shelbyville Iraq.
Looks more like someone tried to kill a newborn by stomping .. and God saw fit to allow him to live.
Even Abraham commanded that the daughters of Israel were to marry withing their tribe that the inheritance "be not removed"
The Democrats, too.
No wonder Islamic societies never have any real achievements and everyone lives in squalor — except to the extent they can seel oil or steal from someone else who is productive. They are the ultimate Marxists, redistributing and stealing wealth.
Their "Golden Age" lasted only as long as their expansion. Once they no longer had an influx of loot and slaves who knew how to run a civilization, the Islamic world stagnated.
Polygamy fed their wars of expansion. A man who cannot afford the bride price to get a Muslim wife, will be quite a zealous warrior if he knows that his only hope of getting laid is to capture a woman of his own.
Which is what warfare used to do for them.
Thought you were talking about the last Democratic Convention for a moment.

HIGHLANDS RANCH - Rock Canyon girls basketball coach Robbie Ballard is a little concerned about his team's habit of letting comfortable leads evaporate.
However, if the Jaguars start the way they did last Tuesday night, it erases some of the worry.
Rock Canyon jumped to a 20-5 first quarter advantage and went out to defeat Mountain Vista, 72-60, in a Continental League game at Rock Canyon's gym.
The Jaguars, ranked No. 5 in the Class 5A poll, improved to 2-0 in the league and 12-2 on the season while Mountain Vista saw its conference record evened at 1-1 and its overall record drop to 11-3.
"The first quarter we came out pretty strong and then we kind of let down and let them come back but we pulled it out," said Rock Canyon junior forward Kendall Koslosky. "Lately we have been having problems being consistent for the whole game but we are working on it."
Rock Canyon came out with a trapping defense which led to eight first quarter Mountain Vista turnovers. The Jaguars cashed in on several fast break baskets against the Golden Eagles who managed to hit only two of 12 first quarter field goal attempts.
"We talked about their transition game, getting back on defense and we didn't do that in the first quarter," Mountain Vista coach Mike Willahan said. "Rock Canyon is a good basketball team. They are a top five team in the state for a reason. They came out and were ready to play."
Mountain Vista trimmed Rock Canyon's lead to seven points late in the first half but Erin McClarie's 3-point basket just before the halftime buzzer gave the Jaguars a 36-26 lead at intermission.
Rock Canyon scored the first 11 points of the third quarter to swell its lead to 21 points but with 2:54 left in the game, Mountain Vista had trimmed to lead to seven points at 63-56 after a 3-point basket by Chelsea Pearson.
The Jaguars outscore the visitors 9-3 down the stretch to secure the win.
"The first quarter," Willahan mumbled. "We played them even for two of the next three quarters. It was my job as a coach to have my team ready to come out and play.
"I'm really proud of my team. The effort and resiliency was there. We cut it to seven just before half and they had big 3-pointer. That was a backbreaker, a momentum changer. We cut it to seven with three minutes and had a chance to cut it to five and missed a layup. Hopefully we can learn from this."
Kolinsky, who scored several easy baskets and many coming after she took long passes to break the Mountain Vista press, had a game-high 29 points, junior Levy Thorderson had 25 points and McClarie, another, junior finished with 11 points.
"I'm pretty fast and can run and we have good guards that pass the ball to me," Koslosky said. "Mountain Vista is kind of our rival because we are both from Highlands Ranch so this was a big game."
During Rock Canyon practice sessions the girls shoot 15-foot and 3-point shots in a license to shoot drill. Players who make 60 percent to get the okay to shoot in a game.
Thorderson, Koslosky and McClarie must have been accurate in practice because Thorderson made three 3-pointers and Koslosky and McClarie one each.
Jordan Graff, a 5-foot-6 junior guard, led Mountain Vista with 14 points while Maddy Whetstone and Paige Keller each had 11 points. Karlee Schwartzkopf added 10 points for the Golden Eagles.

Emery County Public Lands Council met to discuss land issues pertinent to the county. Chairman Ed Geary said the council is lucky to have Ray Petersen as the public lands director for the county. He is always sending out information to council members and keeping them up to date on any new developments concerning public lands.
Jon Gilbert and Rod Player were appointed as representatives on the trails committee from the lands council. Petersen said he had attended a RS-2477 road meeting in Provo for strategy and planning. The AGs office has no plans to litigate on these RS-2477 roads in the next three years. Petersen said he is very disappointed in the process and they are losing witnesses for these roads at a rapid rate.
The commissioners and Ray Petersen met with Rep. Rob Bishop during the governor's energy summit recently. He is very optimistic about the Emery County Public Lands Use bill. He thinks meeting with neighboring counties and having a more regional approach might make the bill more attractive in Congress. The Emery County delegation said they have no problem with that approach as long as the bill retains its content. Currently the staffs of Rep. Bishop and Rep. Jason Chaffetz are reviewing the bill and installing the appropriate language to make it into bill form prior to its introduction in Congress which hopefully is in the six months-year and a half time frame. Petersen and his assistant Val Payne are in communication with the Congressional staffs on the language for the bill. They are incorporating language from prior land use bills that have passed into the bill. The bill will be introduced in first the house and then the senate. Rep. Bishop is on the natural resources committee. As issues come up the county will consider the language to make sure it reflects what the county wants to maintain. As the bill is formed into Congressional language the integrity and intent of the bill must remain or the county would pull the bill.
Josh Winkler from the Bureau of Land Management spoke to the council concerning the route designations east of I-70. These routes were not addressed in the Price Field Office RMP. All of these routes were open and the RMP closed the area to existing roads and trails only. But, these existing roads and trails were not inventoried, the RMP stated this inventory must be done within a five year period. This period is ending and work has been done to map these existing roads and trails. The company Advanced Resource Solutions has been doing the work for the BLM. Winkler said help is needed to make sure none of the roads and trails are missed and not included in the inventory. If there is a cow trail to a pond, a hiking trail, mountain bike trail, horse trail, ATV trail or any other trail in the area that you know and use, please inform the BLM or this trail might be lost and not included in the inventory. He believes the company has done a good job inventorying the area, but he guesses there are some existing roads and trails that have been missed. He said they are looking at every linear feature in the area, or trying to; these linear features include bike trails, horse trails, jeep trails, motorcycle, etc. If these features are there and established they will be noted on the travel plan map. During this evaluation period, a purpose or need for each trail and road must be established. The public needs to become involved to tell the BLM why they need this road and why it should remain open. Does it lead to a cow pond? Does it lead to a camping spot? Is it a hiking or biking trail? etc.
Comments from the public will help. The formal comment period is not open at this time. These comments are being taken ahead of the formal comment period so that work can be addressed and completed now on the maps to show as many of the roads and trails as possible. The formal comment period only lasts 30 days so the BLM wants as many comments ahead of time as possible.
Brian Torgerson from SITLA said they have met with the BLM to give them the roads and trails on the SITLA property.
Petersen said all the inventoried routes that Emery County has in that area have been submitted to the BLM for their use in inventorying that area. The company is being paid $100 a mile to go into the desert and find everything they can. Meetings will be held the end of March before the scoping period begins, one will be in Castle Dale and one in Green River. After the meetings the formal scoping period will begin. The BLM will look for ways to make sure the grazers and other interested parties have notification of these scoping meetings.
The Division of Wildlife Resources has a new lieutenant in the area for enforcement Jay Shirley has transferred here from the Monticello office.
Wild turkeys were transplanted to Joe's Valley from South Dakota, 30 birds in all. The DWR has several habitat projects upcoming this year to improve the habitat for deer and elk. Elk counts are going on now. The coyote population seems to be decreasing due to the bounty program. The fox population is increasing. The preliminary steps for the listing of the Gunnison sage grouse on the endangered species list are taking place now. There will be a series of sage grouse open houses.
Torgerson from SITLA thanked Ray Petersen and Commissioner Jeff Horrocks for their help in approaching the CIB for funding for right-of-ways on SITLA land. These additional funds will help speed up the process of perfecting right-of-ways in Emery, Grand and Uintah counties. SITLA is also involved in a land exchange with the DWR for additional property around Desert Lake and the Emery farm. SITLA will trade these properties for DWR land elsewhere. SITLA is still working on the land exchange language for the Emery County Public Lands use bill concerning grazing that will work for everyone. The land exchanges will go before the SITLA board on March 28 for their input.
The question was asked if any of these land exchanges would affect public access in any way. The DWR representative said the DWR lands are managed for public access for hunting and fishing.
Darren Olsen from the forest service said they are meeting to coordinate Seely fire clean-up efforts and funding opportunities. He said there will be a fee increase for use of the Seely Guard station from $35 per night to $50. Fees will be implemented at three or four campsites surrounding Miller's Flat to cover the expenses of bathrooms in the area. This increase will need to be approved by the RAC so the fee may not be implemented until fall. During the winter months the forest services is working on planning and analysis for projects. They hope to have a decision on the Shalom timber project soon. There is also a big project in Ephraim Canyon. The forest service is looking at four sheep and cattle allotments and going through the NEPA process. They are also involved in planning rangeland improvement projects. The Flat Canyon coal lease is almost ready to lease. The forest service is starting their summer hiring process. The old cabin on the Muddy will be torn down if the lease isn't renewed by the family. The forest service has not heard from the family. The town of Emery and local cattlemen do not want to see the cabin torn down. Olsen said there are some things that can be done and to contact him to discuss it.
Members of Rep. Chaffetz office attended the meeting. Wade Garrett has been with Rep. Chaffetz for four years. He instructed the lands council to contact him with questions regarding the Emery County public lands use bill. Rep. Chaffetz office is trying to familiarize themselves with Emery County and the issues here. Rep. Chaffetz is introducing HR-250 a bill to look for ways to exempt Utah from the Antiquities Act. He is also pushing for reimbursement for counties that conduct search and rescues on federal lands.
Sherrel Ward from the lands council wondered if Rep. Chaffetz office would be able to help with any funding for the fire rehabilitation work.
Jonathan Hunt from Utah State Parks said the Green River Golf Course is open again. The snowmobile grooming on all trails is taking place throughout the winter. Half of the sites at Millsite State Park now have power. Reservations for the park for weekends in the summer are almost filled up. An ATV trail where you can ride from the park to the mountains should be open this summer.
Basinwide snow total is at 87 percent. "We could use some more storms," said Ward. The county will be presenting before the state legislature to get funding for the construction of catch basins before the spring runoff.
There are two log jams one in the Left Fork and one on XTO property above Huntington.
