Great boot
"This boot runs right about true to size. I sometimes wear a 13 and other times a 12. I bought these in 12 and they fit. Granted there is no room for growth but I like the fit. They are also different looking which was my attraction to them in the first place. Quality is as expected from a timberland boot...well made and durable. These boots give the illusion of being smaller than they are."

OpenSSO & Layer 7: End-to-End Web Services Security
By dr156914 on Dec 08, 2009
Last week I recorded a new Identity Buzz Podcast with K. Scott Morrison, Layer 7 CTO & Chief Architect. We discussed the Sun OpenSSO Enterprise / Layer 7 SecureSpan Gateway integration. The combined Sun / Layer 7 solution offers a powerful one-two punch when trying to conquer web services security.
Essentially, the solution allows you to deploy SecureSpan as a policy enforcement point and OpenSSO as a Policy Decision Point when abstracting and centralizing authentication and authorization for your company's web services. The SecureSpan Gateway is a nice complement to OpenSSO because it inserts an abstraction layer between the web service requesters and web service endpoints in order to govern and secure their transactions. Rather than having to deploy a local agent to protect every web service you can implement a gateway that acts as a broker to all your services.
To learn more about this integration listen to our latest Identity Buzz Podcast on the topic.
You can also subscribe to the feed and get episodes automatically. Here's the iTunes friendly link and the Feedburner feed. There is also a nice article describing the integration on the Sun Developer Network titled "Delegating XML Gateway Runtime Authorization to OpenSSO." Enjoy!

New Favorite!
"My daughter loves, loves, loves these boots! She wore them for hours around the house after she opened the box and wanted to wear them to school the next day - she said they were sooooo comfy all day at school and here it is Saturday morning and she's wearing them around the house!I'm sure the fit is just perfect - I purposely bought them a little big so she won't grow out of them before end of winter. The shaft of the boot is a little wide - which allows for jeans to easily be tucked in. The color is a little darker than what the picture appears - kinda like a burnt orangeybrown - I thought they would be a little lighter but it doesn't matter - my 8 yr old loves them - I'm happy!"

Removing Wallpaper
For the best possible results when hanging wallpaper, we recommend removing old wallcovering before installing new paper. There are several efficient methods to remove paper. The method you use will depend upon the kind of paper you're removing and how your wallpaper was originally hung.
Removing Strippable Wallpaper
Tools and Materials: Sponge, hot water, and a broad knife.
If you've recently hung new wallpaper, you probably have strippable wallpaper, which is designed to pull away from the wall easily.
With your old wallcovering removed, your walls should be ready for your new wallpaper. At this point, be sure to apply a coat of wallcovering primer. With primer, you'll get the best results when hanging your new paper.

Skip to comments.The rich will pay more taxes, Boehner says
Posted on 12/05/2012 9:32:33 AM PST by Qbert
Taxes on the wealthy are going up, House Speaker John Boehner conceded on Wednesday in challenging President Barack Obama to sit down with him to hammer out a deal for avoiding the fiscal cliff.
The statement to reporters reflected how negotiations on reducing the nation's chronic federal deficits and debt have evolved since Obama's re-election last month.
Republicans once opposed to any new revenue in their quest to shrink government now realize Obama's victory and public support for the president's campaign theme of higher taxes on the wealthy leave them with little negotiating leverage.
Less than four weeks from the automatic tax increases and spending cuts of the fiscal cliff, GOP leaders face a choice: Agree to Obama's demand to hold down tax rates on most Americans while allowing higher rates on the wealthiest 2 percent, or be blamed for everyone's taxes going up in 2013.
The major unresolved question of negotiations involving the White House and congressional leaders is whether eliminating tax deductions and loopholes -- as proposed by House Republicans -- can raise enough revenue without hitting middle class Americans too hard.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
Boehner's really coming out of the closet, isn't he.
What a joke.
The joke's on us...
Folded like a cheap suit. Empty too. as expected.
Boehner and McConnell have been in cahoots all along.
Boehner tou spineless little whimp, just adjourn the House and tell the Media you sent a Budget to Harry Reid already. Force the Senate to act accordingly.
No, the major unresolved questions has nothing to do with taxes. It involves spending cuts!!
Ed Morrissey at Hotair had this item, which indicates a few Republicans are ready to to the only honroable thing: vote only to extend the Bush Tax Rates, and nothng else. It makes the most sense..and forces Obama to have a huge fight with the debt celiing next year:
"Boehners really coming out of the closet, isnt he."
Obama and the leftists must be laughing their tails off at how easy it is to get Boehnhead and his people to capitulate on everything.
I'm very curious as to what comment #2 was...
expecting the market to dump in 5..4..3..2..
As the article states, the Administration has said that the House should go ahead and pass the Senate's proposal, and then AFTER THAT, they will consider reducing spending.
Oh please, please, please tell me that Boehner is not considering that, too.
The Dems would get what they wanted in tax hikes on the so-called "rich," and then go home for Christmas break (with the spending cuts never to be heard about again).
"&^% very much, B#ner."
No. But it's much easier to go along to get along, especially when you don't give a hoot in hell about principle and instead want to hold on to your phoney-baloney job at all costs. This is why political parties die.
Tie an extension of the Bush rates to the AMT patch. If Zero doesn't sign the patch he will be raising taxes on 28 million Americans this year (2012).
What a joke!!! If Boehner thinks the middle class is so stupid they don't know their taxes are going up he's insane. Everybody's taxes are going up.
If you don't believe it sit down with your 2011 tax return and take out all your deductions especially your mortgage deduction and your property tax deduction and then see how much more you would have paid.
The GOP would be better off to go over this stupid fake fiscal cliff and let Barry take the heat for it for a few months and then sit down to the bargaining table.
If you don't like that idea then at least they should press ahead with the doomsday idea of just bringing the middle class tax cut extension up for a vote and let the Dems pass it with all the Pubbies voting present.
But never fear they won't do any of the above. Look for Boehner to agree to pretty much whatever Obama wants. He's the guy that thinks if he does what's asked they will come for him last.
soetoro praises allah
WTF is up with you Rush?!?! Why don't you take the lead of your friend Mark Levin and go for Boner's jugular!
F-ing sad.
Honestly, I can't think of one good reason why I remain a registered Republican.
They don't run decent people in my state. They don't run decent people at the top.
I'd be a lot better off registering in another party, and join with other former Republicans who had done the same thing, to vote against the worst of the worst Democrats.
Perhaps the lot of us could pressure that party to move back toward the center. We sure as hell can't get our own party to.
Bohener "challenges" Obama to come to the table and tell him what to do.
So Zero can blame the GOP when it fails to raise revenue. We are doomed.
The "rich" already DO pay more taxes. A LOT more, in fact.
This rhetorical tool to paint a pretty face on the family mutt is pure, unadulterated bull sh*t straight out of the pages of Das Kapital.
Marxism has always been the favored poison of the American masses, as long as it's tafted up with phrases like "fair share" and other such Leftist catch phrases.
Meanwhile, congress eats up the public weal like a hog at the trough, and NO ONE, EVER mentions cutting expenses or clearing away the sort of red tape regulation that keeps business from generating income.
It's a power game, and government holds all the aces.
"As the article states, the Administration has said that the House should go ahead and pass the Senates proposal, and then AFTER THAT, they will consider reducing spending. Oh please, please, please tell me that Boehner is not considering that, too. The Dems would get what they wanted in tax hikes on the so-called rich, and then go home for Christmas break (with the spending cuts never to be heard about again).
Yep. You can just see where that would go: Obama would urge House Republicans next year to pass their own bill of spending and Medicare cuts, etc.... and then Harry Reid would back out of his side of the deal, and prevent the bill from ever being voted on in the Senate. And then Dems would use the GOP's "austerity" bill to run endless ads against them in the midterms...
,,,,, in other words Mr. Bonerhead ,,, the rich will pass their tax increase along to the middle class as has been the case every time they have had a tax increase . As Leona Helmsley once said " rich people don't pay taxes " .
This is no secret to anyone on congress .
Spineless GOP-E creep.
These negotiations are all boob bait for bubba. The GOPe wants to raise taxes, they buy their votes just like the left does.
Caught Levin a bit last night - he was eviscerating Bonehead.
The rinos have won the republican party let them have it and destroy themselves!
I'm with you, and John Boehner is my Congressman. I'm done with the Republican party. And when I say done, I mean done.
'Two wings of the same bird of prey...'
IMO, voting to extend the tax cuts for everyone but those over $250K is the worst thing the pubs can do. I say this realizing full well it means I will pay more taxes.
Instead, I'd let the all the tax cuts expire so everyone has skin in the game and I'd hang the SOB out in the breeze on the debt ceiling. Obama will give. He can't afford to shut off the freebies
The truth is that the repugnant leadership wants higher taxes and bigger government... and I am tired of voting for and supporting progressives in the progressive republican party.
what is the point to voting 'present' rather than 'aye'?
They will have their @$$es handed to them in 14' none of my time or money for sure....
We cannot allow these a-holes to fool us into believing they're just shmucks being gamed any longer. They are complicit.
More layoffs, less jobs, more welfare recipients for food stamps and free Obamaphones. And they'll vote Democratic even tho Obama's policies took away their jobs. Because he gives them free Obamaphones and all the rest so they think he "cares" about them.
Heh-heh. Just wait and see what will constitute "rich" in a couple of years. LOL!
Exactly! And now we're treated to Rush acting confused and bewildered about the entire thing.
Hey Rush WTFU and call for Boner's head (figuratively of course). Man, there are some days, I'm really beginning to question Rush's desire to continue on in talk radio. He should be calling for Boehner's removal as Speaker. Instead he's just lethargically meandering all over the place trying his best not to "attack" Boner.
I just don't understand Rush on this.
This is no suprise. Boner always gives barry what he wants, end of story. always has, always will.
I think Obama told him he would take him on vacation to Hawaii with him.
Rush is not a conservative... he is a republican..
So who's gonna challenge Boehner for the Speaker's post? Anyone? Anyone?
Until conservatives in the House are willing to oppose Boehner, at the risk of being purged from their committee assignments, then Boehner's limp-wristed negotiating terms will be the Republican terms by default.
It's past time for a coup d'etat, sending Boehner to the back benches (and an early tee time and happy hour).
I've been sold out for the very last time.
I've been registered as a Republican since I turned 18 in 1969.
Over the last 24 years, I've been waiting for the next Reagan. Instead we keep getting the next LBJ.
Okay fine. The party can go where-ever it wants. I don't have to go there with it.
When the Republican party only has 5% of the registered voters in the U. S., perhaps they'll wake up. I seriously doubt it.
Golf buddies, maybe.
IMO, the Republicans should pass one bill that entends the Bush tax rates for everyone except for the top rate and make them PERMANENT and tie this bill to eliminating the AMT or raising it to inflation adjusted rates from the past 30 or 40 years.
Then pass a second bill that extends the Bush tax cut for the upper income taxpayers - let the Dems and 0bama shoot this bill down, so they own the tax raises.
Then threaten to shut down the government by not raising the debt celing if there are no spending cuts.

It's the shoes
- Bunions are 9 times more common in women than men. The most common cause of bunions is the prolonged wearing of poorly fitting shoes. Usually the ones with a narrow, pointed toe box that squeezes the toes into an unnatural position.
- Bunions are often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. The visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot. With a bunion, the big toe leans toward the second toe, rather than pointing straight ahead. This throws the bones out of alignment, producing the bunion's "bump." Bunions are a progressive disorder. They begin with a leaning of the big toe, gradually changing the angle of the bones over the years and slowly producing the characteristic bump, which continues to become increasingly prominent. Usually the symptoms of bunions appear at later stages, although some people never have symptoms.
- The best advise is to switch to shoes that fit properly and don't compress the toes. Don't select shoes by size because sizes can vary by brands and styles. Judge the shoe by how it fits on your foot. Make sure the toe box is big enough not to pinch.
- Some shoes can be modified by stretching the areas that put pressure on your toes. Splints may be used to reposition the big toe. Orthotics may relieve the pain. If your bunion is caused by arthritis, anti-inflammatory medication may help.
- When non-surgical treatment fails, the foot pain is severe, there is swelling or stiffness, then surgery may be suggested. The recovery period will be 6-8 weeks. While the bunion surgery can reduce the pain and align the toes better, it will not allow you to go on wearing too-small sizes or too-narrow shoes. Surgical options are covered in this eMedicine article.

Coach - Tory Mansfield
2011-12 record - 4-19
League - Continental
Top players - Parker Lewis, 6-8, jr.; Zach Mattice, 5-10, jr.; Matt Downey, 6-4, jr.
Outlook - Hopes and expectations are high for the Sabercats who return only one senior and will rely on a talented core of juniors. "We have good size and will get the ball inside," said Mansfield. "We feel we can surprise a lot of teams this year, push being over .500 and, as always, really play hard."
Coach - Rob Johnson
2011-12 record - 25-3
League - Continental
Top players - Brandon Malone, 6-0, jr.; Wil Keyser, 6-5, sr.; Mitch Parsons, 6-5, sr.; Chris Moody, 6-5, soph.; Jake Holtzmann, 6-5,
Outlook - The Wolverines lost a combined total of 49.8 points a game when Cory Calvert, Josh Adams and Reece Elliott graduated but Brandon Malone, Wil Keyser and Mitch Parsons return from last year's state champion team. Johnson has some talented sophomores he can put in the lineup and Chaparral will have more depth than last season. "We're excited about this group," said Johnson. "We have a lot of good leaders and good kids."
Coach - Jeff Riley
2011-12 record - 9-14
League - Continental
Top players - Taylour Cavanaugh, 6-6, jr.; Calvin Cooke, 6-3, jr.; Austin Shumake, 6-0, jr.; Ryley Stewart, 6-3 soph.; Tyler Ubben, 6-0, sr.
Outlook - Huskies have a young, but talented group of core players and are counting on some leadership from senior role players. Cooke and Stewart are returning starters who both averaged 13 points a game. Shumake is one of the best defenders in the league and Ubben, the team captain, will provide the necessary leadership. "I believe we will be improved over last year but our non-league schedule is more difficult which hopefully will help us come seeding time," Riley said.
Coach - Bob Caton
2011-12 record - 23-4
League - Continental
Top players - Ryan Margheim, 6-4, sr.; Isaiah Parros, 6-4, sr.; Zach Braxton, 6-8, jr.; Evan Motlong, 6-2, jr.; Nick Shumpert, 5-10, soph.; Cole Sundlog, 6-2, jr.
Outlook - Margheim, Parros and Braxton have varsity experience and will have to carry the load. It could take a few games before this team jells.
"This is a new team and we are trying to put together the pieces," said Caton.
Coach - Kevin Boley
2011-12 record - 19-7
League - Continental
Top players - Jon Cosmann, 6-0, sr.; Blake Truman, 6-8, sr.; Taylor Jenson, 6-7, sr.; Tyler Willis, 6-0, sr.; Joey Sloan, 5-11, sr.; Zach Mihalicz, 6-6, jr.
Outlook - The Titans lost nine seniors off a Sweet 16 team but Legend has an athletic team with a blend of size, scoring and depth to take the next step this season. "We feel we have improved in all areas from last year and we have a chance to challenge this year in the always tough Continental League," said Boley.
Coach - Ryan Bredow
2011-12 record - 10-3
League - 3A Metro
Top players - James Willis, 6-0, soph.; Josh Clausen, 6-4, soph.; Brenden Edgerley, 6-4, soph; Taylor Murphy, 6-3, sr.; James Thomas, 6-7, sr.
Outlook - Lions are young and athletic. Willis, Clausen and Murphy are football players who saw significant playing time last season on the basketball court. Thomas is a transfer from Highlands Ranch.
"We will be competitive in the always tough 3A Metro League," Bredow said.
Coach - Bob Wood
2011-12 record - 18-9
League - Continental
Top players - Mitch Carter, 6-2. sr.; Elijah Valdez, 5-10 sr.; Damani Respass 6-0, sr.; Jake Pemberton, 6-3, jr.
Outlook - Golden Eagles return their top two scorers from last year in Carter (14.1) and Valdez (12.0). Mountain Vista's fast break offense plus the Golden Eagles' trapping and pressing defense cause problems for teams. "We feel we have a little better talent that last year," Wood said. "We finished sixth in the league last year and were one of the final eight teams in the state tournament."
Coach - Mike Gibbs
2011-12 record - 11-13
League - Continental
Top players - Dezmond James, 6-4, sr.; Jonathan Branes, 6-8 sr.; Jared Kelly, 6-5, sr.; Tysen Saunders, 6-1, sr.
Outlook - James was the Mustangs leading scoring last year with a 16.3 scoring average but don't expect the Mustangs to play a half-court game this season. Ponderosa will push the play and open things up a lot more. "We have a core group of guys that can play multiple positions on the court and I think with having that flexibility we can go where the kids take us," said Gibbs. "This is the best team chemistry I've seen since I've been here." Ponderosa will compete in the 5A Continental League but will be 4A in the state playoffs.
Coach - Kent Grams
2011-12 record - 12-13
League - Continental
Top players - Mitch Lombard, 6-0, soph.; Tyler Garcia, 5-8, soph.; Luke Ewan, 6-6, soph.; Eli Hirsh, 6-1, jr.; Josh Peterson, 6-0, sr.
Outlook - In his first year at the Rock Canyon helm, Grams is putting in a new system and could have three sophomores in the starting lineup. Lombard is the point guard that will make the offense run.
Hirsh has a quick release on his shot and Peterson is a very good defender. "Even though we are young, I feel we have the pieces that will make us competitive in every game," said Grams.
Coach - Joe Ortiz
2011-12 record - 20-6
League - Continental
Top players - None reported
Outlook - ThunderRidge has won 19 or more games in five of the past seven seasons. Last year the Grizzlies made it into the state quarterfinals before losing a two-point decision to Arapahoe.
Coach - Ronnie DeGray
2011-12 record - 19-4
League - Independent
Top players - Chase Foster, 6-4, jr.; Christian McCaffrey, 5-11, jr.; Marcus Wilson, 6-0, jr.; Garrett Baggett, 5-10, jr.
Outlook - Valor Christian reached the Final Four a year ago, and according to new coach Ronnie DeGray, they have some unfinished business to attend to this season. The Eagles lost 70-59 to eventual champion Lewis-Palmer in the semifinals. Foster was a second team All-State selection a year ago and McCaffrey is one of the best athletes in the state. Baggett can knock it down while Wilson is a defensive stopper. The Eagles should be a factor again.

|In response to Re: recirculating pump for a boiler
The pump is on the return line and pushes through the boiler, it does not seem to go down when the boiler is off, it just goes up when it is on. I turned off the system last night and came back the next day and it was still at 29 lbs same as when I left it the night before. The pump says its rpms is 3250 where my old pump was at 1750.
: If the pump is on the return line to the boiler it can affect the pressure somewhat, but usually not to that extent because in a closed system the water pressure going out of the pump is balanced by the suction of the water coming into it. What is the pressure when the pump is off?
: : Does the speed have anything to do with the pressure in a boiler system. I had someone come in and put a new recirculating pump in for my boiler but the pressure used to be only about 12 psi in the system now it wants to go above 30 psi and that is what the safety blow off valve is set at. The new pump speed is almost twice what the old one was.

- Then, flat iron very (very) small sections with your flat iron turned up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. This seals the keratin treatment into hair shafts. There is thermal protection in the treatment to protect your hair from heat damage, but it's still very important to use caution. Always keep the flat iron moving, proceed slowly and avoid ironing over the same section too many times.
- It's very important to keep your hair completely dry and straight for 48 hours.

- About the brand
Liquid Keratin 30 Day Straight Smooth Strong & Long Treatment Starter Kit is
a long-lasting, patented, at-home keratin treatment kit that makes frizzy,
coarse or curly hair straight, shiny and extremely manageable.
The process is transformative. Reviewers rave that their hair is completely changed – absolutely straight and frizz-free.
The key ingredient in this treatment is keratin, a protein found naturally in your hair. This treatment doesn't simply cover-up frizz or weigh down curls, it actually repairs hair – infusing keratin into imperfections in the shaft, which causes hair to calm, lay straight, shine and feel silky rather than rough.
Results can last for up to 6 weeks.
Kit Includes:
* 4 oz. Liquid Keratin 30 Day Straight Smooth & Long Treatment
* 1.7 oz. Liquid Keratin De-Frizz Shampoo
* 1.7 oz. Liquid Keratin De-Frizz Conditioner

A Curly Hair MiracleI have tried Chi straightening, spent hundreds on flat irons and products, blowouts and no-frizz serums. My corse, curly and frizzy hair ruled my life.I read about this product after hearing about it in a People magazine. I thought it was just another hair gimmick, but decided to give it a try since it was not permanent. WOW, my hair has never been so soft and smooth and easy to manage. I can air dry it, straighten it in 10 minutes or wear it curly. I actually have gone a whole week without using a single product on my hair. I am hooked for life.Aug 9, 2009Kristen / Milwaukee, WI

So Far No Frizz With Liquid KeratinI did the treatment about 6 weeks ago and have used only the Liquid Keratin shampoos and conditioners since (as they strongly recommend.) My hair is about the same to blow dry time-wise, but it looks better - lots of body and with that naturally smooth look. The product is fabulous at protecting against heat damage. I now use a professional style flat iron as well sometimes, and my hair is holding up very well. My hair will wave and maybe curl in humidity, but it doesnt frizz. And the flat iron makes it good as new in just a few minutes.Jul 15, 2009Susan / Columbia, MD

Warhawks girls shatter scoring records in blasting Cedarburg and Lutheran
Average 101.5 points a game in two wins
The Germantown girls basketball team went to watch the NCAA Division III power Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) take on Cardinal Stritch University on Jan. 30.
And they came away disappointed because Nazarene is the model upon which Warhawks coach Matt Stuve bases a great many of the team's "shoot and press" tendencies. The Tigers, who came into the game averaging about 101 points a game, lost to area power Stritch by a 96-73 count.
"I told them afterwards, 'See, we're better than them,' " Stuve said with a chuckle.
Especially this week, as in a pair of memorable and astounding efforts for proponents of stupendous girls basketball, the Warhawks rewrote virtually every offensive record there was out there and kept themselves in the North Shore Conference race.
On Jan. 29, Germantown, with Wisconsin's third-best scoring offense, turned the state, not to mention the North Shore Conference, on its ear, when the Warhawks destroyed any number of school and state records with a 98-82 blasting of NSC leader Cedarburg.
Germantown hit 16-of-33 3-pointers in the contest, proving, yes, girls can shoot it if you let them.
So Stuve let the Warhawks do it again on Friday, when they broke even more records, draining an even better 17 treys in a 105-56 rout of Milwaukee Lutheran.
"This is the second time through the conference, and teams are trying to find ways to slow us down," Stuve said, "but four games into (the second go-round), we've bettered our score against our opponent each time. Obviously, the kids are playing with a very high level of confidence and we expect to score points, but 98 and 105 points in back-to-back games, that's just something that you really can't plan for.
"All we try to do is be ready for the next opponent."
Moving up standings
With the victories, Germantown stayed in fourth place in the NSC at 7-4 (13-5 overall) while Cedarburg (9-2, 13-4) held a precarious one game lead over both Whitefish Bay and Nicolet (8-4 each). The Warhawks are at Port Washington on Friday.
The crazy thing about the Cedarburg game was that the final score was nowhere as close as the game actually was in the fourth quarter. Germantown actually had a 96-70 lead at one point in the fourth quarter.
That was because the Warhawks had nine shooters combine for an amazing 16-of-33 effort from the 3-point stripe (48 percent). They also went on a second-half tear that must have felt like being caught in a category five hurricane for the host Bulldogs.
"We were down 46-44 with 7:05 left in the third quarter and over the next 13 1/2 minutes we outscored them something like 54-26," Stuve said.
The win not only erased a tough first-half of the season defeat at the hands of the Bulldogs but also eased Germantown's pain of back-to-back wrenching last-possession defeats at the hands of Whitefish Bay and Grafton.
Senior forward Megan ("Maggie") Johnston, who at one point very early this season made the comment that she didn't think very much of this offensive system, is now a full-on believer.
"I mean it's looking great now, especially after last night," said Johnston, who Stuve trusts to tell him the pulse of the team, because Johnston is famous for saying what she thinks when she thinks it. "It was like 'Oh my God.' In the first half, we weren't making a lot of threes, but then we started making more of them in the second half and that let us be more aggressive on defense."
Turnovers key for team
Because along with averaging about eight treys a game, the Warhawks also average a forced turnover rate of about 27 a contest.
"And we were actually a little bit below that (against Cedarburg)," Stuve said.
Records for team scoring and 3-point makes are hard to come by (Germantown's previous high this season for threes was an almost-as-impressive 14) and no doubt there have been other girls teams that have scored more than 100 points in a game, but there is no question that these Warhawks have made history.
Because it is very doubtful that any basketball program in the state in the last decade had a better girls single game score (105) and boys single game score (107 vs. Whitefish Bay) combined (212) than what has been achieved by Germantown this year.
And what of the opinion of the coach of that 18-0, defending state champion boys Germantown team?
"I didn't hear about it until Wednesday (Jan. 30)," Steve Showalter said of the girls' effort against Cedarburg, "and when I did I was surprised and impressed. I think that was the first time that they've outscored us this season, and I bet you could check statewide scoring and you wouldn't find a school that has both teams averaging over 75 points a game like ours."
The boys beat Cedarburg that night by a 79-35 count and were outscored again by the girls on Friday despite a 94-44 rout of Lutheran.
There is a small, but growing wing of coaches statewide who are now seeing that this "shoot and press" system, all of which is based off the now famous Grinnell (Iowa) College program, as a way to succeed against the more defensive-minded, more physical programs out there.
Catering to players' strengths
And frankly, what kid wouldn't want to play a system that is this much fun?
"The reason we do it, is because it plays to the strengths of our kids," Stuve said. "We have athletic kids who get to fly up and down the court for 32 minutes, but it does have its limitations. After I got home the other night (after Cedarburg), my wife, who was a tennis player, asked 'Don't you guys ever play defense?'
"Go to our locker room sometime and see how many blank stares you get when you ask that question. It's just a different focus. We just try to create more shots. They (the Bulldogs) shot 51 percent the other night but we put up over 80 shots.
"… Everyone is looking for a little help now (trying to win games). We just happen to work a lot on shooting drills."
And that's the truth.
"I've watched a little of their practices," Showalter said, "and I know how much they work on shooting. They get into it (the offense) and get off shots, which as everybody knows, is something I like (laughs)."
Other advantages include playing time.
Players rotate in five at a time, almost every minute and 13 of the 15-player roster are in those top rotations. Rotations are charted for efficiency. The games went so well last week that even the last players on the bench, the ones who work hard making the others better, got in many good minutes.
There are purists out there who say it isn't real basketball, that too much emphasis is placed on scoring.
Stuve, Johnston and their friends are diplomatic and just say "Try it, you may just like it!"
"I know there are people out there who are kind of upset with the way we play," Johnston said, "but we just went all out and beat the number one team in our conference (by a lot), and we should have won other games, too. … When we play with energy, we're kind of hard to beat."
Another thing about the system is that it is vastly entertaining. Seeing as it was a Tuesday night road game with a home boys game to compete against, the crowd for Germantown against Cedarburg was largely made up of a smallish group of parents, but Stuve said by the time the Warhawks were really getting into it early in the fourth quarter (the two teams combined for 66 points in the stanza), it was disproportionately loud on the Germantown side.
"You would have thought that we had a huge student section there the parents were so loud," Stuve said.
"It was awesome," laughed Johnston.
Germantown is well on its way to an excellent regular season finish and a good WIAA tournament seed. Stuve just wants the kids to keep on having fun.
"One of the beauties of the system," he said. "Is that the kids on the bench are just as excited as the kids out there playing, because they know they'll get their chance soon. … The thought is, is that everyone helps the team and hopefully that way the fun can continue."
Warhawks rock!
Girls basketball team pours it on.
CEDARBURG DETAILS: A total of 13 players scored, led by Taylor Higginbotham with 24, Courtney Mehring with 13, Paige Groth 11, Miska Cantley 9 and Bridget Kelley 8. Mehring had a "phenomenal game" with 10 rebounds, five assists and five steals. Nine different players hit the 16 3-pointers.
LUTHERAN DETAILS: Again 13 players scored led by Higginbotham with 16, Groth with 13, Erika Berry 12, Johnston 10 and Addy Green with 8. Again, nine different players hit the threes as Germantown was 17 of 41 from behind the arc (41 percent).
GERMANTOWN BOYS TEAM AVERAGE: 78.1 ppg
GERMANTOWN GIRLS TEAM AVERAGE: 70.1 ppg
PREVIOUS SEASON BESTS: The Warhawks girls have broken 80 on seven occasions. The previous best before this week was 87 against West Bend West. They have been held under 50 only twice with 37 being the low against Whitefish Bay.

Freed after 18 years, ex-inmate uses wrongful incarceration cash to honor lawyer who helped free him
Posted Oct 21, 2013 11:15 am CDT
Former death-row inmate Anthony Graves is trying to spend $1.45 million wisely, for the most part.
Before his exoneration, Graves spent 18 years behind bars for the 1992 slayings of a mother, her daughter, and her four grandchildren. The Texas Legislature awarded Graves $1.45 million for wrongful incarceration, and he has been mostly careful with the money, Texas Monthly reports in a story noted by the Huffington Post. He did buy himself a BMW convertible, but he also helped his mother rebuild her house and started a foundation to help children whose parents are in prison.
Now he has decided on a new use for some of the money—honoring the lawyer and journalism professor who fought to free him for eight years. Graves told Texas Monthly he wanted to repay Nicole Cásarez, but he knew she would never accept his money. He opted instead to create a scholarship in her honor at her alma mater, the University of Texas Law School. The gift was revealed at a party.
Graves handed Cásarez a framed certificate indicating the school had established the scholarship with Graves' gift "to honor his defender, friend, sister, and angel, to recognize her and her students' work to exonerate him from a wrongful conviction, and to encourage others to follow her example of hope, perseverance, courage, and humility."
Graves was set to be retried for capital murder, but prosecutors dismissed the charges in October 2010 after a special prosecutor who reinvestigated the case, Kelly Siegler, found no evidence linking Graves to the slayings. A co-defendant had originally testified that Graves was an accomplice, but he later recanted. Siegler called the original prosecution a "horrible" miscarriage of justice.

Skip to comments.Obama Speech on Television is Comedy Hour and OBAMAGASM! [Live Thread]
Posted on 10/30/2013 1:12:28 PM PDT by Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America
Obama is on television AGAIN, this time in Boston speaking about the Affordable Health Care Act. He's attaching Romney to the ACA as a way of dragging Republicans into the mess he's created.
Somebody Stop Me!
Has anyone fainted yet?
I like how Obama thinks that blaming this on Mitt Romney is going to exonerate Obama.
Mitt doesn't have a job, Obama.
You're next.
Who was screaming at Obama at the beginning?
He just said that ObozoCare will provide insurance for less than 100$ a month for 80% of Americans???
This sunovabeach is LYING without a care!!
anybody faint yet?
OMG!!!! BLAME.....BLAME.....republicans.....it's all someone else's fault!!!!
I'm in Maine and I'm listening to a radio talk show being broadcast live from Boston.
There are a number of TEA Party and other conservative protestors marching outside Fenway Park, just in case Obama decides to crash Game 6 of tonight's World Series.
The protestors are chanting, "OBAMA LIED! MY HEALTHCARE DIED!" A lot of passing cars are honking their horns in support.
You guys assured me here:
That linking 0bamaCare to RomneyCare was impossible.
The sound of his voice makes me throw up in my mouth.
I can't believe that that a-hole is still talking on the Fox News channel.
He has a case of diarrhea of the mouth.He just can't help himself.
hahahaha Who buy's his bovine excrement any longer.
The guy is a walking SNL skit
And look at the sheep behind him, smiling like they dont have a care in the world..They are in love with him, he could tell them that he will go to their house and kill their kids and those sheep will start clapping and say "YAY, Thank you Messiah Obama, he's coming to my house"
No not yet but I'm sure ready to BARF though
You mean those 'hecklers'?
It was obviously a set-up, everyone grinning at the activists who want 0bama to stop 'climate change'.
Hey, where can I get me that $100 a month complete insurance plans that 0bama said millions have gotten already?
(I'm too old for one of those less than$50 a month plans he was touting)
Wife had Fox on when I came in from the garage and I gave him a two handed, single finger salute.
What a slimey devil. What's with the blue lips, jug-ears? Liar.
Why... why do this to my eyes? Please stop!
If he shows up I hope they boo him until he pees in his pants and goes running to mommy Valarie.
99.9% chance he shows up at Fenway Park for the game tonight. Maybe he'll throw in the first pitch, girly style.
Get this shameless marxist off TV!
can't wait for Dr. Ben's reaction . . . the ONLY reason I have this creep Obama on and muted is I can't stand the sound of his lying voice. If Obama's lips are moving he's lying.
Clown Prince nobama shames clowns. Can't this complete feckless loser just stay on a golf course somewhere (so as to avoid his whacked family)????
If I saw Putin of Russia or Cameron of Britain ALWAYS MAKING SPEECHES WITH GIDDY FEMALES STANDING BEHIND HIM, I'd think he was an F'ing P*SSY of a President! THIS IS EMBARRASSING FOR AMERICA.
don't forget the lesbian sistas . . ..
What a liar ! ! !
Cannot stand this POS any more...how on earth are we going to survive another three years of this piece of filth?
"cant wait for Dr. Bens reaction . . . the ONLY reason I have this creep Obama on and muted is I cant stand the sound of his lying voice. If Obamas lips are moving hes lying."
I can't believe this guy.He just won't shut the hell up.Its a good thing he's got his obamabots standing a cheering behind him.
If we had idiots like those at the founding of this country we would still be subjects of the king of England.
What a bunch of losers.
Uhhhh, was Massachusetts healthcare signups 'voluntary' or were the mandatory with non-signers committing a crime and being fined?
Damnable lies from the Prick in Chief.
If that SOB shows up at the game he will ruin it for me——just because he's breathing the same air as the Sox (and The Cardinals,a most worthy adversary).
Those pink things I'm looking at KILLED US IN THE VOTING BOOTH IN 2008 AND 2012. America was WRECKED by those things in the voting booth. I am sorry but I call it as I see it and today's speech backdrop is PROOF of what I say. MOST females vote with their emotions, not their logic and this has killed America. Now 0bama WHISPERS to them as if to lull them into a TRANCE OF OBEDIENCE. DISGUSTING.
Got it on now, thanks
He said Dems worked with GOP to make Medicare part D working because they put people first.
He says GOP should put their petty politics a-side to make ACA work for the good of Americans
Just praised Romney.
Tears are rolling down my face.
Romney said today that Obamacare is a lemon.
Ok, so there's needy people getting 'signed up', but there are a lot getting dumped in the name of O"care" . . . but then the dumpees represent only 5% of the American population . . . must still be ok to have 'needy' people around...
Amazing for Boston!
Just wondering, what happens to RomneyCare now the Obamacare is kicking in.
Not a chance. He won't the chance at being booed big time.
Hadn't thought of that but you fail to recognize that in a Marxist narcissist's mind they are loved by EVERYONE.

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate / Progress
We demand a lot of the digital devices that we carry with us every day. We expect them to take all the abuse we put them through, from early morning until late at night. We depend on them. Unfortunately, our cell phones, PDAs, audio players and notebook computers won't run forever. They all depend on battery power to keep them alive and kicking.
While some batteries seem to go forever, eventually they have to be recharged. And recharging is, at the very least, inconvenient. So if we can stretch the battery's life between charges, the fewer recharges we will have to perform.
And lucky for us, stretching battery life is often fairly simple. All we have to do is decrease the drain on the battery. There are a number of ways we can do that.
First, disable Bluetooth when it's not needed. Bluetooth is a short range wireless technology found in many notebook computers, PDAs and in a majority of cell phones currently on the market. Unbeknownst to many people, Bluetooth stays on and broadcasts a signal even when it's not actively being used.
In fact, some people see significant increases in battery life after Bluetooth is disabled, as the technology is fairly very battery intensive.
Two, disable wireless networking when it's not needed. The wireless networking hardware found in many of today's notebook computers and PDAs waste a lot of battery power constantly searching for potential wireless networks to connect to.
Some notebook computers have a physical switch on the front or side of the computer that powers off the wireless networking hardware inside. Many notebooks also have an icon in the system tray near the system clock that can disable the wireless hardware with a click of the mouse.
Three, dim the LCD screen so it's not as bright. The brighter the screen is, the more battery power the device will consume. Luckily, most notebook computers dim the screen automatically when on battery power, but display settings can override that behavior, preventing the screen from dimming when AC power is unavailable.
Four, disable system sounds. Many cell phones, for example, play a sound every time a key is pressed or a picture is taken.
Five, if the digital device is a digital audio player, like an iPod or Zune, consider purchasing a model that does not use a magnetic hard drive for music storage. Unlike Flash based drives, magnetic hard drives have a number of moving parts, which translates to greater power usage, and thus, shorter battery life.
Unfortunately, nothing can store as much music as a magnetic hard drive. Players with flash drives are severely limited in storage capacity, but they do last significantly longer on battery before a recharge is needed.
Six, try to avoid using digital devices in extreme temperatures. Electronics don't operate as efficiently in really hot or really cold environments. That means shorter battery life.
Seven, turn off the GPS receiver in your cell phone when it's not being used to seek a location. Even if the GPS features are not in use, the phone will constantly attempt to find GPS satellite signals, which will put a severe drain on the battery.
So master your battery usage, and you'll find yourself charging your battery a lot less often.

Three Canadian teams into playoffs at U21 worlds
UMAG, Croatia (June 21, 2013)– Three of Canada's four pairs at the U21 FIVB Word Beach Volleyball Championships advanced to the playoff round on Friday.
In men's competition, 10th seeds, Grant O'Gorman of Toronto and Aaron Nusbaum of Aurora, Ont., hung on to third spot in Pool G despite two losses on Friday after winning their opening match. The pair were third here at the 2011 World Youth Championships.
In Group B, Greg Simone of London, Ont., and Gabriel Burlacu of Tecumseh, Ont., won their third and final round robin match to also advance. Simone and Burlacu went 0-3 last month at the U23 worlds and had lost their first two matches here.
On the women's side, ninth-seeds Sophie Bukovec and Ali Wooley of Toronto ranked third in Pool H with a 2-1 mark defeating Ivana Ovcina and Tea Juric of Croatia 21-19, 21-14. In Group B, Tamara Vujadinovic and Emily Kuwaguchi, both of Toronto, lost their three matches and do not advance.
