2008 Softball
Bluffton sweeps Anderson
Beavers clinch HCAC tournament berth with sweep of Anderson
April 26, 2008
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University softball team clinched a berth in the upcoming Heartland Conference tournament and will play for a share of the regular season championship when it travels to Hanover on Sunday, April 27, 2008. The Beavers swept pre-season favorite Anderson in a pair of pitching duels on Saturday, April 26. With the victories, Bluffton improved to 23-15 overall and 11-3 in the HCAC, while the Ravens fell to 16-22 with a 9-7 mark in conference play.
Bluffton 3, Anderson 1
Anderson took a 1-0 lead over Bluffton in the top of the second inning when Kelly Thompson doubled home Gretchen Louzon with one out.
The Beavers tied the contest with a run in the bottom of the third inning. Jayme Marbaugh (Ohio City/Parkway) singled with two outs and she came around when Lindsey Miller (Wapakoneta/Wapakoneta) laced her first triple of the season down the right field line.
Following two scoreless frames for both teams, Bluffton did its damage with a pair of solo home runs in the bottom of the sixth. Miller led off the inning with her 10th homer of the season to left center field. Two outs late Kellie Kenney (Toledo/Emmanuel Baptist) cranked her first long-ball of the season just inside the fair pole down the left field line for a 3-1 Bluffton lead.
Brooke Babcock (Findlay/Findlay) set the Ravens down in order to secure the Bluffton victory. She was outstanding in the circle, limiting Anderson to just one run on three hits in seven innings of work while picking up her 11th victory of the season. Babcock allowed only one hit over the last five innings and fanned 10 batters with no walks.
Kenney was a perfect 3-of-3 at the plate with her solo shot in the sixth inning. Lindsey Miller and Mollie Brown (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) both collected two hits and Miller drove in a pair of runs.
Bluffton 2, Anderson 1
All of the runs scored in game two crossed the plate in the fourth inning. Anderson scored its only run of the contest when Erin Garrity doubled home Brittany Lane with no outs in the frame. Kenney slammed the door shut with three straight outs and the Beavers answered with two runs in the home half of the inning. Abby Snider (Wapakoneta/Wapakoneta) knotted the game with a leadoff homer down the left field line. After an intentional walk to Jayme Marbaugh loaded the bases, Gretchen Handley (Ashland/Ashland) picked up the game-winning RBI with her bases-loaded walk.
Despite leaving 16 runners stranded in six innings, Bluffton completed the sweep thanks to the Beavers' second masterful piching performance of the day. Kellie Kenney improved to 12-4 after giving up one run on seven hits in seven innings on the mound.
Brown, Marbaugh, Snider and Torrie Wilson (Delphos/Jefferson) all collected multiple in the game two victory.
Bluffton closes regular season action when it travels to Hanover College on Sunday, April 27, 2008. The Beavers are assured of the second seed in the upcoming HCAC tournament that will be hosted by Rose-Hulman starting on Friday, May 2. Bluffton can clich a share of the regular season championship with a pair of wins over the Panthers on Sunday.

On D-Day, a wreath will be placed at the former Fore River Shipyard honoring the South Shore women who worked there as welders during World War II. The site is now owned by Quirk Auto Dealership.
QUINCY -- A wreath honoring the many women who worked at the now-closed Fore River Shipyard in during World War II was placed there today on the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
The ceremony was organized by the two sisters who founded the new state chapter of the American Rosie the Riveter Association.
The wreath was made by Martha Kempe of Milton, the daughter of Bertha Glavin of Quincy, 87. Glavin recently formed the new Massachusetts chapter of the Rosie the Riveter group with her sister, Mary Kennedy, 91, of Braintree. Kennedy worked at the yard during the 1940s.
The wreath was placed on a building at the former shipyard where women welders are believed to have worked during the war, turning out a variety of ships.
"We are commemorating the D-Day's 70th anniversary but we are also honoring the women who worked in the shipyard during the war doing men's jobs," Glavin said. Glavin did not work at the yard but had a civilian job supporting the war effort.
Kennedy, who lives now at Royal Braintree Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Center, worked as a welder from age 19 into her early 20s.
"They were putting out ships left and right during the war and the yard won five Navy awards of excellence, the first one very early, in May 1942," Glavin said.
The site, still called Fore River Shipyard, is now owned by Daniel Quirk and the Quirk Auto Dealership.
John Doby of Rockland, planning director at Quirk, has been working with Glavin on the event.
"This was one of the most important military shipyards in the country during WWII and employed 36,000 people at one time," Doby said.
The wreath was placed on a building of WWII vintage that was used for heavy construction of warships, Doby said.
"It may well be where the Rosie the Riveters worked," he said.

Debate Simmers Over Science of Food Pairing 111
carmendrahl writes "Why do foods taste good together? Scientists aren't anywhere near figuring it out, but that hasn't stopped one popular idea from spawning a company dedicated to discovering avant-garde new pairings. The idea, called flavor-pairing theory, says that if foods share a key odor molecule, they'll pair well. But some scientists say the idea can't explain all cuisines, and another contends his work with tomato flavor (abstract) shows that flavor pairing is 'a gimmick by a chef who is practicing biology without a license.'"

Gallery: How To Dress for Canada Day
Today is June 30th, which means that tomorrow is July 1st. Oh, and it's also Canada Day. As the French say, "bon fête du Canada!" Translation: good party of Canada.
Not only is wearing un- patriotic attire on a national holiday completely lame, but it's arguably worse than being tardy for the party, in which case you will miss the fireworks display. Here are some fashions to consider when planning your outfit.
If all else fails, red and white is the obvious choice.

Washington (CNN) - There's not a lot of public appetite for a Republican push to sue President Barack Obama, or for calls by some conservatives to impeach him, according to a new national survey.
A CNN/ORC International poll released Friday morning also indicates that a small majority of Americans do not believe that Obama has gone too far in expanding the powers of the presidency.
(CNN) – In yet another sign that Congress will leave town next week without addressing the influx of young migrants at the southern border, a senior White House official acknowledged there are major doubts that lawmakers will approve President Barack Obama's request for emergency funding to deal with the crisis.
"Alarming if Congress leaves for the August recess without acting," the official told reporters ahead of the visit of three Central American presidents to the White House on Friday.
Los Angeles (CNN) – Ramping up his populist economic message as midterm elections near, President Barack Obama on Thursday singled out large companies that maneuver through legal loopholes to avoid paying U.S. taxes as "corporate deserters."
Those firms have effectively renounced any allegiance to their home country, Obama claimed during remarks at a community college here.
Washington (CNN) - The current crisis on the nation's southern border appears to be fueling a notable shift in American attitudes toward immigration policy with border security growing in importance, according to a new national survey.
A CNN/ORC International poll released on Thursday also indicates that a majority of those surveyed support making it easier for the United States to return migrant youth from Central America who have surged across the U.S. border with Mexico this year.
(CNN) - Hillary Clinton is the clear 2016 frontrunner in the nation's largest presidential battleground state, according to a new poll.
A Quinnipiac University survey of Florida voters indicates the former secretary of state, who's seriously considering a second bid for the White House, has leads from seven to 21 percentage points over potential GOP presidential candidates in possible 2016 showdowns.
(CNN) - Olivia Pope may be the best crisis manager - real or fictional - to ever grace Washington.
But that doesn't mean the situations on "Scandal" are anything close to what President Barack Obama wants to see play out in real life.
Speaking during a high-dollar fundraiser at the home of the show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, Obama used a now-familiar phrase - "phony scandals" - to describe what he sees as a petty obsession among the political class. FULL POST
Washington (CNN) - More than half the public says Obamacare has helped either their families or others across the country, although less than one in five Americans say they have personally benefited from the health care law, according to a new national poll.
A CNN/ORC International survey also indicates that a majority of Americans oppose the Affordable Care Act, but that some of that opposition is from people who don't think the measure goes far enough.
Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama's poll numbers are nothing to brag about, but there's little evidence he has suffered so far this year a "Katrina moment" that caused his predecessor's numbers to plummet.
A new CNN/ORC International survey indicates that public opinion of the President has barely budged in the wake of new challenges that Obama has faced this year.
SEATTLE (CNN) - As President Barack Obama helped Democrats bank millions in campaign cash on Tuesday, he acknowledged his administration is confronting "some big overseas challenges" in the Middle East, Ukraine and elsewhere.
Speaking at a fundraiser in a wealthy enclave of Seattle, Obama said there is a sense among Americans "that around the world the old order isn't holding and we're not quite where we need to be in terms of a new order that's based on a different set of principles."
Overseas, Israel continues its ground invasion of Gaza and investigators continue to probe the downing of a Malaysia Air jetliner over Ukraine. Some Republicans and pundits have chastised Obama for maintaining his three-day fundraising swing on the West Coast, though his aides argue the President can do his job from anywhere.
Seattle (CNN) – Republicans and some political pundits have taken sharp aim at President Barack Obama for maintaining his fundraising schedule amid a period of global unrest.
Not among those complaining? Democrats who stand to benefit from the millions of dollars in campaign cash Obama will help pull in this week during a three-day West Coast swing, bringing him into the homes of entertainment and real estate bigwigs in Seattle, the Silicon Valley and Los Angeles.

I agree with Yvaine.
Said student doesn't need Professor's reference anymore so that wouldn't be an issue, but is more concerned about other professors/people at the university and what their thoughts on the matter would be. (At my old university, one of the professors married a student and everybody talked about it-the whole thing was quite the source of gossip.)
I'm a little confused why this would even appear to be an issue.Is Student still employed by the company where she used the Proffessor as a reference? Is her concern that the employer will think she only got the reference because of a personal relationship? If so, how long has it been since the reference and them now dating.
It's been a year and a half since Student has taken Professor's class. Student has since moved on to graduate school, not work. Student hung around in Professor's department Student's entire last year (Student was friendly with other faculty members/took their classes) and is afraid they will think that Student and Professor were involved while Student was taking the class. Student's academic career wouldn't suffer any detriment, but Student doesn't want to cause a stir among Professor's colleagues. Because of the small size of the department this would be something that came up eventually-people talk.I realize this isn't a cut-and-dried protocol issue (as would be the case of "Don't date someone whose class you are actively in" or "Don't use someone as a professional reference that you are dating") but my friend wanted me to ask if there were any perspectives against it since said friend knows that I'm on an etiquette board.

Puget Sound
Earth : North America : United States of America : Pacific Northwest : Washington (state) : Puget Sound
The Puget Sound is a region in Washington.
The Puget Sound has many cities, check in the subregion articles for more of them. This is a sampling of seven of the more notable cities.
Other destinations
Puget Sound is a sheltered arm of ocean between Seattle and the mainland of Washington State to the east and the Olympic Peninsula to the west. The southern boundary is marked by where the mainland and the Olympic Peninsula meet, near Tacoma. The northern boundary is marked by Admiralty Pass and the Strait of San Juan de Fuca.
The San Juan Islands are not properly located in Puget Sound, contrary to common belief and widespread usage. There has been a recent popular movement to officially name the area that contains the San Juan Islands as the Salish Sea, in honor of the native people of the region. The Salish Sea is located at the confluences of Puget Sound, Strait of Juan de Fuca, Strait of Georgia.
The Puget Sound region consists of Puget Sound itself, the islands of Puget Sound, the Kitsap Peninsula, plus the mainland counties which form both the western and eastern sides of Puget Sound leading up to the edges of the watershed in the high crests of the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. Counties with this area include: Island, Snohomish, Kitsap, King, Pierce, and Thurston
Most people in the Puget Sound region speak English.
Get in
By air
The main airport in this region is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport which is the main airport in Washington. It is located south of Seattle in the city of SeaTac. It has direct flights to many American cities as well as some flights to Asia and Europe.
By train
Amtrak has three train services that serve the Puget Sound area. Cities served are Seattle, Tukwila, Tacoma, Olympia, Edmonds, and Everett: see the "Get in" sections of those cities for more details.
For more information about travelling by train in the United States see Rail travel in the United States.
By car
I-5 is the main freeway running north-south; going north to Vancouver and south to Portland and California. I-90 goes east from Seattle to Chicago and ultimately Boston. Other east-west routes include US-2 over Stevens Pass from Everett and SR-410 from Tacoma (closed in winter).

full featured email transfer class for PHP
Many PHP developers utilize email in their code. The only PHP function that supports this is the mail() function. However, it does not expose any of the popular features that many email clients use nowadays like HTML-based emails and attachments. There are two proprietary development tools out there that have all the functionality built into easy to use classes: AspEmail(tm) and AspMail. Both of these programs are COM components only available on Windows.
PhpMailer implements the same methods (object calls) that the Windows-based components do.
Class Features:
- Send emails with multiple TOs, CCs, BCCs and REPLY-TOs - Redundant SMTP servers - Multipart/alternative emails for mail clients that do not read HTML email - Support for 8bit, base64, binary, and quoted-printable encoding - Uses the same methods as the very popular AspEmail active server (COM) component - SMTP authentication - Native language support - Word wrap

was a hot and steamy exoplanet.
That's because she's your ex. When you were with her she was as big as a planet.
Thank you, thank you. I'll be kicked off stage now.
Did you keep her number?
GJ1-214b, but she's blocked me now that she gotten all popular.
Well, it's 75 times closer to the star than us so the starlight comes from a wider angle plus a steam atmosphere sounds like a pretty good heat conductor so I doubt it's all that different. But if it's tidally locked, the dark side of the planet could be interesting...
75 times closer to a Star five times smaller than the sun. I'm not gonna do the math if it's more complex than the apparent 5/4 ratio but it's important to consider the size of the Star if you're gonna talk about wide angle. And there might be a matter of brightness of the star too.
Anyway, the planet apparently does get more light, since its temperature is about 200C
steam atmosphere sounds like a pretty good heat conductor
Conductor? Water vapor is actually a good insulator. On earth water vapor is the largest contributor to the greenhouse effect.
Water vapor has about the same thermal conductivity air. Greenhouse effect is not due to thermal conductivity at all, but due to radiative heat transfer and the properties of absorptivity/emissivity.
Conductor? Water vapor is actually a good insulator.
What parent poster probably meant was that given the planets' proximity to its host star and its abundance in water, the intense heat and radiation from the star heats up water on the planet and creates a planetary heat bath system [wikipedia.org], maintaining high water vapor temperatures all around the planet. Since water is, as you remarked, "actually a good insulator", that would mean that the water vapor retains its heat and potential weather patterns may circulate i
What about the poles?
They haven't got there yet.
A planet like this is highly likely to be like Venus, with more or less the same temperature everywhere on the surface. Thick atmospheres will do that for you, and this is likely to have almost as high a surface pressure as Venus.
Standing on what little land exists here, you watch a giant red dwarf sink slowly into the horizon of a hot ocean.
What a coincidence
"Dwarf" is such a demeaning term. I prefer to think of them as "valid souls with a high degree of vertical challenge."
Not sure how you apply that to a planet, though.
"The red, vain soul with a high degree of vertical challenge ever so slowly slipped out of sight past the horizon, less like a setting Sun than a discovered pervert shying away from sight with the slow shuffle that only stars can make look graceful in bathrobes, his red."
*pfffffttttttt* *coughouchgouch* far OOUUUTTTTT--
I'm on my way there, just have to buy a big, space capable sunshade.
Cool picture, but true water worlds are unlikely to have any true land (i.e., rocks at the surface). What they may have are mats of carbon materials too light to sink. On water worlds with biology, creatures may evolve to form such mats in symbiosis with air breathing animals (i.e., giving them a place to live, in return for goodies like nitrogen fixation from the atmosphere in their excretions), in much the same way as corals (the creatures that build coral reefs) get up to 90% of their nutrients from their symbionts [wikipedia.org].
Now, that would be a water world Kevin Costner could be proud of.
New Hubble observations confirm the atmosphere of the exoplanet is rich in water, comprising up to 50% of the atmosphere's mass.
Actually, they do nothing of the sort. They just make water a more probable explanation for the observations. It says as much in the article.
These [harvard.edu] abstracts [arxiv.org] both state that the data indicates an atmosphere high in hydrogen and helium, but (taken from the second abstract):
Our observations disfavour a water-world composition, but such a composition will remain a possibility until observations reconfirm our deeper Ks-band transit depth or detect features at other wavelengths.
From the linked PDF, last of section 5.1 on page 15:
In the meantime, we adopt an atmosphere with at least 50% water by mass as the most plausible model to explain the WFC3 observations.
Even if it doesn't spiral into the star the UV will be slowly splitting the water into its component parts and the hydrogen will disappear off into space. What happens to the O2 after that is anyones guess - perhaps it'll react with whatever rock is there or perhaps it'll end up as a huge oxygen atmosphere.
With the atmospheric pressure so high, won't the H end up forming with hydroxide to make water again (or water to make hydronium), and won't the oxygen ions just get absorbed into the water?
Don't know to TBH , I'm not a chemist. But some will undoubtedly escape before it can react with anything. Given the low density of the planet its unlikely its gravity is much greater than earths so H2 won't have a hard time escaping the atmosphere.
According to TFA its gravity is 6.5 times Earth's.
No , its says its *MASS* is 6.5 times that of earth. Given its much larger volume its gravity won't be anything like that. Gravity is a result of mass divided by volume, not just mass on its own. Otherwise Jupiter would have a gravity of about 300G , not just 2.5 and the sun would collapse into a black hole.
Where did you learn physics? Gravity is NOT a result of mass divided by volume. It's 1/r^2. That's mass divided by the surface area of the enclosing sphere.
Last time I looked the surface area of a sphere was directly related to its volume you fscking moron.
Wow. Next time you're going to try to insult someone, at least have a clue what you're talking about.
The enclosing sphere has nothing to do with the volume of the object. It's the imaginary sphere at the relevant distance from the object's center of mass. The object's volume does not enter into the equation at any point.
So let me get this straight, you're saying a sphere can increase or decrease its surface area without a commensurate increase or decrease in its volume? Well I'm stunned. You should publish a paper in Nature about your new model of reality - you'd win the nobel prize.
No, I'm not saying that. You need to read more carefully, and figure out the difference between the volume of an imaginary sphere enclosing a mass, and the volume of that mass (hint: the imaginary sphere can be any and all sizes greater than or equal to the volume of the mass).
When you decide you want to stop acting like a child and actually learn something, try reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss'_law_for_gravity [wikipedia.org]
Err , ITYF the volume of the mass of a planet is the volume of the planet. Unless perhaps you were thinking of those oh-so-common planets where the core is actually hollow?
Low density? Density doesn't enter into the equation here - gravity is a function of mass, not density. Here, look at this
Note, the inner rocky planets are WAY more dense than the gas giants - hell Saturn would float if you could find a bathtub big enough to throw it in. Saturn and Jupiter have no problem holding onto H2.
This planet is 6.5 the mass of earth. Uranus, the smallest gas giant in our own system is 14 times the mass of earth and has half the density of this planet.
This isn't surprising. This planet seems to occupy a transition zone between rocky planet and gas giant. Uranus & Neptune are primarily Methane.
I wonder if it turns out that most planets of a certain mass range are mostly water - earth being on the one end and this new planet on the other side of the curve. After a point the gases in the planet transition to methane for some reason, then finally to just diatomic hydrogen in the case of the largest gas giants, and finally stars.
We already know that Jupiter is about as large as a planet can get by volume - any larger and the density starts increasing again, until fusion occurs and you get a star somewhere around 50 Jupiter masses. (Some astronomer please correct me on that).

Kirk got all the action; his XO never got any because he was much too logical.
Yes, but they have a lot of frustration in the intervening 7 years
At 230 degrees Celsius, this means the planet is shrouded in steam.

Yummy! I would suggest pointing SETI that way and finally find the elusive *burgers*.

I added this to my list of star systems to send messages to. Finding a planet in the system with so much water certainly seems promising. If only the professionals were doing active SETI. We should be messaging every single one of these promising systems. The declination of this system is around +5 degrees, which is conveniently close to the Arecibo dish zenith. Most promising systems that are also close by are far enough into the southern sky that Arecibo can't target them, but this one is right in its cro

Unburden fixes that problem. You use Fake Out, which activates Normal Gem and will do some nice free damage. Now you've got Speed in the 400 range. Close Combat is more reliable than Hi Jump Kick, and your ability is Unburden, not Reckless. Stone Edge provides type coverage. No matter how fast you are, there is still a chance that you can be outsped. So Bullet Punch provides priority. Sucker Punch isn't used because it isn't able to be used along with Unburden. Your EVs give you enough Speed to outspeed most foes after Unburden. Attack is maxed out, and some bulk on the special side is also given. answered May 28, 2011 by trachy edited Jul 3, 2011 by trachy but why invest in bulk when close combat lowers your defenses? commented May 2, 2014 by Amos Chee Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes ScrewyouHax!

The point being, Para-hax has gotten to be a real pain lately, so here's how you solve it! Limber lets you switch in on Paralyzation, without getting paralyzed, if you predict the switch, you get a nasty STAB Focus Punch blow in!

And others with Earthquake. answered Aug 16, 2011 by Josh Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Close Combat: An extremely powerful attack. Stone Edge: Powerful attack that can deal with multiple foes. Sucker Punch: Powerful priority attack. Earthquake: Despite the type coverage being mostly taken by Close Combat, it can be used to deal with Poison type foes. answered Dec 15, 2010 by trachy It's a good set, but some flaws are that, instead of Earthquake, maybe Bullet Punch? It deals with the Fairy type, which is super effective against it. Also, Brick Break instead of Close Combat, for, having low Defense already, it's basically suicide. commented May 31, 2014 by GassyGamer Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Hitmonlee Suggested ability: Unburden; Suggested item: normal gem Earthquake/Sucker punch/pursuit -Type Coverage, or cover ghost and psychic types that might give you trouble. Close Combat:-STAB. Less risky than Hi jump kick. If the opponent switches into a ghost type, you'll lose about half your health with HJK. Stone Edge: Covers flying weakness. Fake Out: Pretty simple.

Rock Slide: need to cover hitmonlee's weakness? Well, he has 2 weakness. FLYING and PSYCHIC. when I look back, more flying type Pokemon than psychic type Pokemon.

Bulk Up will just waste a move to allow super effectives to attack you and rock slides accuracy isn't all to brag about, brick break isnt a bad idea but how sure are you that barriers will be used??

With that, I'd go with Nature: Adamant/Jolly Stats: 252 atk, 252 spe, 4 spd Drain Punch= STAB and healing Blaze Kick- Mainly for no real reason, other then type coverage Poison Jab- For the coming 6th gen to deal with Fairy Types Earthquake/Stone Edge/Rock Slide- Depending if you want to kill Flying Types, or just get some good coverage. answered Sep 21, 2013 by PsynirasMaster Poison Jab doesn't give much to it. I understand what you mean for Gen 6 but until it comes out let's leave sets for the future out of it. Drain Punch seems good, but HJk can be used as better alternative for more power.

Panthers outlast Bulldogs to kick-start their season with first victory
In a game that never rose to any great heights due to the humid conditions contributing to an error-filled performance from both sides, Penrith was aided by an ill-disciplined Bulldogs outfit that conceded a plethora of penalties, to grind out an unconvincing 22-12 victory at SportingBet Stadium.
Although Garth Brennan will be pleased to get the first win of the season under his belt, there is no doubt still the Panthers will need to improve immensely especially when in possession of the ball as they prepare to face the top two teams in the NSW Cup in consecutive weeks, Wentworthville & Mounties.
Interest in this match was heightened by the late inclusions of Sam Kasiano & Moses Mbye for the Bulldogs while for Penrith the withdrawal of Eddie Aiono to injury & Isaac John to first grade duties provided NSW Cup debuts to NYC centre/wing Regan Haika and 2013 Holden Cup premiership prop, Mitch Clark, who had only recently returned to the Panthers after an opportunity at Wentworthville failed to materialise. Haika & Clark stretched the total number of players to debut in the NSW Cup team to 6 in just 3 games to date.
Both sides opened the game struggling to complete their sets but it was the Bulldogs who were able to put first points on the board after taking advantage of an error by fullback Dallin Watene-Zelezniak close to his own try line. From the ensuing set, a quick spread right allowed Jarryd Dodd to take advantage of the overlap created to put his winger Tyrone Phillips for the opening try from close range. Templeman's conversion from out near the touchline gave the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead.
Winger Kayne Brennan was put on report for a high tackle on Watene-Zelezniak in the 20th minute & was replaced by Anthony Cherrington making his first appearance for the Panthers for the season after serving a two-game suspension result from an incident in last year's grand final. Cherrington's entry into the game forced a reshuffle in the Panthers backline, but it didn't deter the Panthers as a wonderful short pass from halfback Liam Ayoub put the back-rower on a 25m run to the try line only to spill the ball in the process of diving short of the line, costing his side their first points for the game.
The Bulldogs allowed Penrith to build pressure on their try line through a combination of errors & penalties conceded & the Panthers finally scored on the half hour when a Kierran Moseley short ball from dummy half allowed prop Shaun Spence to crash over from close range. Wes Naiqama's conversion levelled the scores at 6-6.
The Bulldogs were nearly made to pay for another string of errors & penalties when Penrith, playing deep in Bulldogs territory, moved the ball out right to Nathan Smith playing in the centres at this point in time got the offload away to make-shift winger, Tom Eisenhuth but he couldn't handle the ball with one to beat from close range.
The Panthers took the lead soon after in the 37th minute when another Bulldogs error allowed Penrith to spread ball out to the right where Wes Naiqama was able to put Watene-Zelezniak in for the try out on the right from 10m out. The conversion from Naiqama allowed Penrith to go to halftime leading 12-6.
The Bulldogs continued to give away silly penalties early in the second half but Penrith couldn't take advantage making several errors when in possession. When the Bulldogs were able to maintain possession, winger Kayne Brennan went close to scoring in the 51st minute, doing everything right on a 20m run cutting back in off his wing only to drop the ball going over the try line.
Penrith made the Bulldogs pay for that mistake 6 minutes later when Cherrington from 35m out made a run at the Bulldogs left fringe before providing a great offload inside to Naiqama who in turn found the debutant, Mitch Clark backing up to score next to the posts. The conversion giving Penrith its biggest lead of the match 18-6.
The Bulldogs managed to get themselves back into the game with 13 minutes remaining when five eighth Pat Templeman feigned to go right from dummy half & provided a terrific cut out pass to his winger Kayne Brennan who this made no mistake in scoring in the left corner from 10m out. Templeman's conversion from the sideline had Penrith nervous leading just 18-12.
The Bulldogs continued to apply plenty of pressure on Penrith in the closing 10 minutes but were unable to come up with the play that would allow them to level the scores. A Lachlan Burr shoulder charge late in the game allowed Penrith the opportunity to close out the match, which they were able to in the 79th minute when Ayoub feigned to go for the drop goal from 30m out before going out left to five eighth, Will Smith who was able to go to the line before rolling in a grubber into the in-goal where another debutant, winger Peter Haika was able to pounce on the loose ball to put the match beyond doubt at 22-12.
Best for Penrith was debutant Mitch Clark who played some big minutes considering he hadn't played any footy for nearly a month & was making his debut at this level. Wes Naiqama was also instrumental once he shifted to fullback while Ryan Simpkins was at his industrious best working himself into a standstill in defence. The Bulldogs were their own worst enemy but Pat Templeton continues to show why many Bulldog fans rate him as the next big thing.
Next Sunday, Penrith head down the M4 to take on local rivals, Wentworthville Magpies at Ringrose Park while the Bulldogs take on Wyong Roos at Belmore Sports Ground.
Penrith 22 (T: Spence, Watene-Zelezniak, Clark, Haika; G: W Naiqama 3 from 4) def. Canterbury 12 (T: Phillips, Brennan; G: Templeman 2 from 2)

Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty says 2013 will see the administration of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam advance basic changes the administration made in the previous two years.
Hagerty talked with the editorial board of The Memphis News this month about the retooling and decentralizing of the state's jobs engine as well as the local debate about government incentives.
This is an edited transcript of Hagerty's conversation.
Hagerty: The story for 2011 and 2012 has been remarkably strong in a tough environment. We've had two back-to-back record years in terms of performance in our department against a pretty tough macro economic environment. We still have a lot of ground to cover though. The unemployment rate is still unacceptably high and we still see a lot of opportunity to perform better. We also look with concern at some of the recent surveys. Ohio State just put out a survey in December. It was a survey of middle-sized businesses. What the businesses said was that while they are still growing, they are growing at a slower pace in the last quarter of 2012. And they expect to grow at an even slower pace in 2013. Does that mean we are heading into recession? No. But it means more muddling along. The governor set a higher bar for us in 2013 that we had in 2012. We are going to have to be at bat more often to make things work.
TMN: What is different about your approach in the last two years?
Hagerty: What we've done is focus on the strategic reasons for companies to be in Tennessee as opposed to using incentives to get them to do something that is not strategic. The result is we have not got our incentives cost per job down to the lowest level in a decade on top of two record-breaking years. That I think shows that we are moving in the right direction.
TMN: Talk about the eight new international trade offices formally opening this month and their role in growing Tennessee exports.
Hagerty: Over the past 10 years, Tennessee exports have grown from $10 billion to $30 billion. The reason for that is the exchange rate. Over the same period, the euro has increased its purchasing power from a dollar perspective by 50 percent. The yen's purchasing power has increased by 25 percent. But Tennessee has a unique edge. That advantage applies to any state. Tennessee's unique advantage is our location as a logistics hub. … The opportunity for us is to leverage the favorable backhaul economics that occur when you've got to send those containers back to their home. I think that's the unique advantage that Tennessee has. The growth from $10 billion to $30 billion has been largely enjoyed by the largest and most sophisticated Tennessee companies today. There are great examples across the state of companies that are small or medium sized who have figured out how to begin to export. I've done it a couple of times in my own career. It's not rocket science.
TMN: Are we where you want to be in terms of state incentives? Does what the state offers change how locals approach incentives? We've had some energetic debates locally about incentives and claw backs.
Hagerty: We have three primary tools for incentives. One of them is the basic infrastructure tool and that is for infrastructure that goes on public land that benefits multiple entities. That does not have claw backs. … Then we have the FastTrack training tool. The way that's implemented is an employee has to be on the payroll at the time. … And then there is our new FastTrack business development fund, which has a claw back mechanism. It's called an accountability agreement. It is a performance-based agreement. It is going to something to benefit the company directly.
TMN: Do you see locals having to change what they do? Are PILOTs outdated or are they here to stay?
Hagerty: Each locale has a different view. Some locales have been very protective of the component of the PILOT associated with schools. I have great respect for that. But not every jurisdiction does that. And the local level sees the same thing that I do at the state level. Unilateral disarmament while laudable is sometimes challenging from the competitive standpoint. Each mayor, each city council is challenged to deal with the matrix of different tools that different jurisdictions use to compete against them. What I would say to any mayor or city council is this. Your locale has certain strategic advantages. There are reasons for a company to be there beyond the incentive. If the incentive is the only reason the company is coming, beware of what happens when the incentive burns off.
TMN: How scary is it for a business owner to come off the sidelines in this recession and its aftermath? And are you seeing companies still sitting on a lot of cash?
Hagerty: There's $2 trillion still sitting on corporate balance sheets. A lot of companies today are focused on their internal cost structure because they are trying to figure out how to implement the Affordable Care Act. Some are making adjustments to their part time full time employee mix as a result of that. I would far rather see them focused on expanding their markets and hiring more people than focused on internal cost structure trying to optimize for a regulatory regime that is still not fully defined. The implications of Dodd-Frank are far reaching and they continue to impact small and medium sized companies. While the stated purpose of legislation was to address the too big to fail banks, that's not been the result. What's happened is more and more small community banks are going away. That's creating an increasing void for our small and medium sized companies and the capital they need to grow.
TMN: Is economic development statewide more of a challenge because we border more states than any other state?
Hagerty: It is a challenge but I think we are learning to coexist better. I've reached out to my counterparts in Kentucky and Alabama and we are working on some joint regional programs. They are different political parties. That doesn't matter. We're trying to do what's best for our citizens. … Companies don't really care whether political boundaries are there or not. … If the conversation among the governors is more along the lines of we're trying to demonstrate cooperation, maybe we can get away from this continuous race to the bottom if you will on which state can out do the next one on some major incentive program and really create a good and wholesome environment for the businesses that exist there and that logically should come.
TMN: The site consultants have had it pretty good with this competition.
Hagerty: I think that competitive pressure is going to remain. It's a fact of life that is amplified when you have a tough economy like you do now. It's the nuts and bolts of our work that don't get headlines. The expansion – that's a great story. The trade stuff – we're not going to get any headlines on that. But it's going to count and it's going to add jobs and that's what Gov. Haslam has us focused on.
The opportunity to get any company to this region is one I'll take because I believe tn. will stand up very favorably in a head to head competition with any border state. I'm happy to go into the ring with all of them.
TMN: Do our bordering states with state income tax have an advantage in recruiting businesses?
Hagerty: I would never promote that as a policy for the state of Tennessee. While it may be advantageous in a particular recruiting scenario to tax the workers and then pay it back to the employer, it's not good for the citizens. That's not our objective, to mask incentives and do stuff like that. We have no interest in pursuing that as a tool, although we have been on the receiving end of that.

nooooooooooooooooo! lol j/k
haha probably because I idealize you as the protective, dominant, but gentle and sweet partner.
Ooh you
So sweet, goodnight
No, people don't even acknowledge my existence
Thanks, glad you can appreciate my strangeness.
Me too
I went out on the town, a loner as always.... I wore my white t, red jacket, blue Jeans and quaffed hair! sometimes I like to emulate James Dean, because I really relate to him, if I'm feeling lonely it cheers me up to get done up like him, like he's with me or something, makes me feel cool.
Haha, I've never shared that with anyone, but I thought you might appreciate it because you like him too, hope you don't think I'm a weirdo.
Talk to you later
You're so modest
Yeah I finally moved, I LOVE it here, actually I'm about to go out right now. Glad you like my picture.
you are really smart!
I was hoping you were out partying and 'living la vida loca', too bad. Although it's good you are responsible to focus hard on your studies, even if it means being away from me.
So do you have some free time now?
You were gone for a really long time
Were you having fun? I hope so....
You have no idea how excited you just made me!
I've missed you ever so!

Uh...what the hell was that?
Well, out of sheer boredom I decided to tune in to watch some of the UCLA-FSU Emerald Bowl. At least that sounded like a college football game.
But I'm confused.
Because my TV said I was watching ESPN but it sure looked and sounded a hell of a lot like cable access.
Sweet Jesus, was that bad!
Whoever thought it was a good idea to make Dan Fouts a play-by-play guy should either be forced to watch the broadcast again or sandpaper his balls for three hours as punishment. And if you didn't watch the game, trust me when I say both are equally as painful. Because that was about as interesting as listening to the yearly open enrollment benefits seminar at Procter & Gamble.
And the overall quality of the broadcast was just plain frustrating. Like that FSU touchdown on 3rd and nine in the 4th quarter where the UCLA DB ended up on the ground. Fouts kept saying that it was definitely offensive pass interference. Over and over again. So along with everybody watching on TV, I'm wating to see the replay but...nothing.
So Dan adds, "Boy, I'd like to see that one again." Hint,hint. As if he was begging somebody in the truck to show it once more.
Still nothing.
I can only assume they plain missed it. But instead of somebody telling the audience we don't have a good angle and can't show it to you again - after going on and on about the play - they just went to commercial then came back and pretended it never happened.
Oh, and speaking of commercials, equally as bad were the Emerald ads during the game. It's almost like they sponsored a bowl so the CEO's kid who always wanted to be in advertising could shoot some really crappy commercials for his reel.
Now I remember why I've skipped the bowl season thus far. At least I only have to wait two days until the excitement of Clemson-Kentucky, Texas Tech-Minnesota and - yes, and - South Carolina vs. Houston. Somebody pinch me...or sedate me.

I forget who the color guy was, but for the longest time after I tuned in he didn't say anything, and I was thinking ESPN had sent Fouts out to do the game all by his lonesome. I was highly amused by the image of Fouts talking to himself in the booth and became highly dissapointed to find out otherwise.

From now on referees should ask people watching at home for advice on instant replays. Anyone with a TV could have corrected the out of bounds kickoff call in 5 seconds. Instead we had to wait for the instant replay official to confirm something we already knew.

It was DEFINITELY cable access quality broadcasting. I couldn't take it.
I turned it off....
You, Yost, are a glutton for punishment.

It could have been worse - we could have had that Pam Ward chick do the game. She is just brutal in a horrible way!
- December 28, 2006 7:45 AM
Hey bro, you are getting on the wrong guy I think,it was Tim BRant that kept saying that it was obviously pass interference when Carr caught the touchdown pass. I thought the game itself was pretty good and did anyone else get the image of Carr standing in the end zone plastered over the tv screen as Fouts and Brant were talking about the upcoming kickoff, it stayed on my screen for a good 30 seconds or longer.
- December 28, 2006 8:23 AM
Its UCLA football you're watching. Of course its going to be cable-access quality! They have a nice juggler on the sidelines though.
- December 28, 2006 10:19 AM
Listening to Dan Fouts is almost as bad as listening to Erkel (I mean Bryant Gumbel) do the NFL network games!
- December 28, 2006 10:30 AM
anon 5:23a,
Yes about the wierd 30 second image of Carr in the endzone.
- December 28, 2006 11:04 AM
Fouts was awful.
ESPN Radio had the game on as well and I was listening to it as I drove home. Bill Curry was the color guy and someone 1,000 times better than Fouts was doing the play by play.
I got home and listened to radio broadcast instead. How do you put Curry on the radio and these jokers on TV??

I've had the flu since Friday and have been on an odd biorhythm ever since. I'm in bed at two in the morning, choosing between the re-broadcast of the Emerald Bowl and the World Series of Darts on ESPN II.
At first, I watch football and only go to the darts during commercials. By halftime, I'm watching only darts. Eventually I go back to sleep and don't find out who won the football game until this morning.
When it's less painful to watch fat men throw needles, you know it's a bad broadcast.

Anon 4:45, my bad re: Brant. And I had that weird frozen image, too. Totally forgot to put something up about that.

Yost, are you sure you weren't just scouting FSU to make them your #1 pick in next year's pre-season poll?
- December 28, 2006 11:23 AM
I kept thinking I was listening to an AM radio HS football broadcast. Plus for a record crowd did you ever hear any crowd noise. I think the broadcast team might have been in a sound proof booth.
Those nut commercials are ... nuts (and weird).
- December 28, 2006 11:34 AM
Fouts and Brant are the 3rd-worst commentating team in sports (Pam Ward and anyone else come in 1st, and Mike Patrick is a close 2nd). First Brant couldn't get anyone's name right, then Fouts saying ridiculous shit like Lorenzo Booker is expected to go in the 1st round. It was a goddamn cable access show with ESPN plastered on the front.
- December 28, 2006 11:54 AM
I got home & realized that there was actually a game semi-worth watching finally & turned it on in the 2nd quarter. After about 10 minutes I was already questioning the quality of announcing. It was almost bad enough to turn off, yet there was nothing else on & also the game was close.
I agree that Pam Ward has to be the worst announcer in college football. There has been more than a few times I've wanted to watch a game & turn to it only to hear this horrible play-by-play & resort to watching a game I care much less about instead just because of that fact.
- December 28, 2006 12:24 PM
Beast -- LOL You reminded me of a time in college when I came home from the bars and started flipping throught the channels. The only things ESPN (1, 2 or The Ocho) were running at that wee hour were Chuckwagon Racing and Figure ROLLERskating. (Swear to god!!! LOL)
With these lesser bowls on (for now), I hope they give those options again. (I can't believe I missed the darts!!! Damn.)
- December 28, 2006 12:28 PM
I'm just happy FSU didn't suck. For the first time in a long while, I have a positive outlook on next season. We finished with a good win, we get new coaches, we get new coaches, and we get new coaches.
- December 28, 2006 12:35 PM
Which commentators are good and know what they are talking about? It seems to be just the CBS or SEC commentators that have a clue. On ABC Musberger is a moron and so is Herbstreit.

Perhaps a Florida troll in our midst?
At any rate, prior to even visiting the blog today I was wondering if it was just me or does Fouts suck that bad? He's been on TV for years; covering Pac 10 for ABC. (even used to be Keith Jackson's partner when KJ came out of retirement the first time with the stipulation that KJ would only do games within same day travel distance of his home in California)... And I've never heard complaints before... but then again the rest of the country doesn't regularly get Pac 10 games.
I loved the call on delay of game penalty in the third quarter where Fouts said the pass was incomplete. WTF... there was no pass... there was a penalty before the ball was snapped!
Or was the game just on a time delay from hell?
- December 28, 2006 1:26 PM
As a UCLA alum, I had to watch the wretched game. Painful to watch, both the game it self, and the coverage. I got the frozen picture, as well. Poor play calling, camera work shoddy, etc. They must have hired local crews who cover the Raiders.

Yost, you should feel fortunate that you don't live on the west coast - we seem to get Fouts for every decent Pac 10 game out here. I think he got his head rattled a few too many times when he was in San Diego.
Lord how I wish I was 30 years younger so that I could enjoy more or Keith Jackson......sorry, but he was the best there ever was. WHOOOOOOOOOOOoOAAAAAAAAAAAAA NELLIE!

Tonight I hopped in my truck to run to the store for milk & bread.
Guess who's doing the ESPN radio broadcast of the Holiday Bowl - Dan Fouts on play by play and Tim Brant on color!
If you thought the telecast was bad...
- December 28, 2006 10:53 PM
BiB - re: running to the store for "milk and bread".
I'm in SoCar and recognize the Southern bad weather shopping spree when I see it... what's up in Bama and I wonder if it's heading our way.

Every spring one of North America's last great overland migrations takes place. The Porcupine River caribou herd is the last large herd of migratory animals to travel their traditional routes, undisturbed, in North or South America.
The 123,000-member herd migrates to the Coastal Plain of our Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, also known as the "biological heart" of the refuge. For more than 25,000 years, indigenous communities have inhabited this region and rely heavily on caribou to provide 85 percent of their food and clothing. Every year our Coastal Plain breeds life, and every year it is at risk from oil development. This year could be different.
The Coastal Plain supports 135 species of migratory birds that fly to six continents, as well as providing critical habitat for the iconic polar bear. In Oregon, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge may seem far away. But the Sandhill Crane and the Brant Goose migrate to and from the Coastal Plain and Oregon each year. As ice floes offshore disappear, America's polar bears are increasingly denning in the Coastal Plain. The region is a place of immense diversity and teems with life.
There is a way to end the year-after-year threats to the Coastal Plain with a wilderness designation from Congress. This has always been and will continue to be a bipartisan effort. Republican President Eisenhower created the Arctic National Wildlife Range in 1960, just a year after Alaska's statehood. Two decades later, President Carter enlarged the area and renamed it the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, but Congress did not designate the Coastal Plain as wilderness. And this year, bipartisan wilderness legislation, HR 139, has been introduced in the House by Reps. Michael Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Ed Markey, D-Mass.
Today, this decision should not be controversial. Drilling in the refuge could provide a six-month supply of oil to the U.S. Our country consumes 22 percent of the world's oil supply every year, but we hold just 2 percent of the world's known oil reserves. Extracting the oil in our refuge won't solve our oil problems, but using less oil might.
Additionally, President Obama and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell are staunchly opposed to drilling in the refuge. The president said it's "off the table" to development. Interior Secretary Jewell has reconfirmed her support for the refuge over and over again.
What's more, Oregon's congressional delegation is increasingly important, and historically opposed to risking damage to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil development. Sen. Ron Wyden has consistently voted to disallow drilling in the refuge and to protect sensitive habitat areas as wilderness. Wyden chairs the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and is widely expected to take over the Senate Finance Committee. His 32 years of service in Congress, commitment to bipartisanship and ability to work through stalemates mean his sponsorship of a wilderness designation could go the distance.
Rep. Peter DeFazio, who has served for 26 years, now has the top Democratic spot on the House Natural Resources Committee, thereby increasing his power of persuasion in that chamber.
We are Oregon. Nationally, we're looked to as a leader on natural resource issues. It is only fitting that our elected representatives in Washington, D.C., hold those positions officially.
Today the Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act (HR 139), which would protect the Coastal Plain as wilderness, has 97 co-sponsors, including Oregon Reps. DeFazio, Earl Blumenauer and Suzanne Bonamici. We should encourage Reps. Kurt Schrader and Greg Walden to join them. Additionally, in the Senate, S 17, the Energy Production and Project Delivery Act of 2013, would open the sensitive Coastal Plain to drilling, which is slated for consideration in Wyden's Energy and Natural Resources Committee. We should thank Wyden for his leadership and ask that he vote against S 17 and instead support the strongest possible protections for the Coastal Plain.
The Porcupine caribou herd has held a rhythm and balance for tens of thousands of years. We've fashioned much of the natural world to suit our purposes. We owe it to the natural world to preserve this extraordinary wild place.
There are other places to drill. There are better ways to find energy in our world. There are irreplaceable things we cannot return to once they are gone. The Coastal Plain of our Arctic National Wildlife Refuge needs a wilderness designation. Oregon can help it get one now.
Dennis Specht is a volunteer with the Alaska Wilderness League. Dennis and the League will present screenings of the documentary film "Being Caribou" at the library in downtown Jacksonville at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 5; the Medford Library at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6; and the Ashland Library at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7.

A birthday cake would have had too many candles.
So the symbol on the masthead of The Daily News starting this week will be one way the newspaper you are reading marks a milestone.
It was 125 years ago that the publication now called The Daily News was founded.
In 1886, Grover Cleveland was president and dedicated the new Statue of Liberty, which was followed by the first ticker tape parade ever in New York City. The London Times published the world's first classified ad.
Memphis didn't exist as a city, having lost its charter in the devastating aftermath of the 1878 yellow fever epidemic and the collapse of city government finances. David Hadden was president of the taxing district. The Shelby County Courthouse that marked its centennial last year was still 24 years away from being built.
The seat of all local government, including the courts, was the old Overton Hotel, about where the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts now sits.
The newspaper has had three other names since its 1886 founding – The Daily Record, The Daily Court Reporter and The Daily Court News.
"I keep a copy of one of the oldest copies of the paper on my wall in my office, just to remind me of the history of the paper, the sense that every edition we put out is a continuation of a very long legacy covering Memphis," said Eric Barnes, publisher of The Daily News Publishing Co. Inc.
Since its beginning and in all of its incarnations, the newspaper has been built on a foundation of providing public notices and public records that are the source material for the city's daily business.
Plans are being made for a series of events honoring the milestone for what has been a local, family-owned business since its inception. Look for stories throughout the year recounting the history of the paper, culminating with a 125th anniversary party in the fall.
Upgrades are a constant part of the company's history, the latest of which includes major improvements to the printing press and its capacity.
"Even with a history as long as ours, there always seems to be an opportunity to do something new and different, be it a revamped website, the launch of our weekly edition, or the start of an e-mail edition," Barnes said.
The Daily News Publishing Co. also marks the 125th anniversary with an upgrade of Chandler Reports, the regional real estate information company also owned by the publishing company.
In June, The Memphis News, the free weekly publication of The Daily News Publishing Co., will begin its third year.
There is also an expansion into the Nashville market.
The company bought The Westview, a family-owned Middle Tennessee suburban weekly, in February 2010. It recently rebranded it as The Nashville Ledger and will expand its circulation into Williamson County after initially building an expanded market into the Downtown Nashville area. There are also plans to turn the weekly publication into a bi-weekly publication.
"I've always thought that what matters most is putting out quality journalism and information, regardless of format," Barnes said. "So whether you read our paper in print or on your iPhone, what matters to us is that you get the type of high quality, very serious journalism that we try to produce."

*giveaway is now over*
KLRU has a commitment to presenting the arts to Austin. As part of this commitment we team up with local arts organizations to bring you television programs like In Context and online arts features on KLRU Collective. We also bring you the best of performance art from PBS with Great Performances and Live from Lincoln Center.
Today, we're teaming up with Texas Performing Arts to bring you tickets to a live performance of Black Watch. Post a comment on this blog post for your chance to get a pair of tickets to the Feb. 17 show at 8 pm. The winner will be chosen at random on Feb. 15. Black Watch runs from Feb 16-20 at the Bass Concert Hall. Tickets can be purchased at texasperformingarts.org
PLEASE NOTE: Black Watch contains strong language, loud explosions, and strobe lighting. Not recommended for audiences under 16.
Presented in partnership with Fusebox Festival and the Department of Theatre and Dance, Black Watch is written by Gregory Burke and directed by John Tiffany.
This rare tour of Black Watch by the National Theatre of Scotland stops in Austin following a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, performances around the globe, and unanimous critical and popular acclaim. For this groundbreaking presentation, Texas Performing Arts is putting the audience on the Bass Concert Hall stage in a rare and intimate seating configuration.
Black Watch is a stirring play based on interviews conducted by Scottish playwright Gregory Burke with veteran soldiers who served in Iraq. Viewed through the eyes of those on the ground, Black Watch reveals what it means to be part of the legendary Scottish regiment, what it means to be part of the war on terror — and what it means to make the journey home again.
Hailed as a cultural landmark of the 21st century, John Tiffany's production makes powerful and inventive use of movement, music, and song, all to create a visceral, complex, and urgent piece of theatre — compounded by your seat on stage, next to the action.
PLEASE NOTE: Black Watch contains strong language, loud explosions, and strobe lighting. Not recommended for audiences under 16.

W ith two cars, foreign holidays and a cook for their apartment, one Beijing family epitomizes the new middle class created by China's decades of rapid economic growth — and its resulting worries.
Li Na, 42, is a caterer at the Beijing Zoo, and her husband, Chi Shubo, 48, works for a state-owned investment company. The couple have seen their fortunes transformed since Li arrived in Beijing 20 years ago from Shandong Province.
Then, she cycled for hours from a shared dormitory to visit her husband's workplace. Now she commutes in a US-made car and the couple holiday with their 11-year-old daughter in Japan, South Korea and the US.
Tens of millions of other Chinese have made a similar transition. About 10 percent of China's 1.35 billion people now count as middle class, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, a figure that is set to rise to 40 percent by 2020.
However, their concerns about air pollution, food safety and China's education system show the challenges facing the country's newly appointed leaders, who have promised a shift away from the model of growth at all costs.
Every year, Li and her husband set a goal to improve their lives.
"We always have a plan," Li said. "For example, this year I might want a new camera and my husband will help make that come true."
The family's four-bedroom apartment in a Beijing suburb was the most important purchase of their lives.
"We struggled half our lives to buy it," Li said over a breakfast of fried eggs and bacon.
In a picture of comfortable suburban living, their daughter, who goes by the name Nancy, sprawls on a vast sofa opposite a huge flat-screen Sony television, nuzzling the family's fluffy brown dog.
Li says her top priority is Nancy's education. It is not a school day, but Li's iPhone alarm rings to signal that it is time for her daughter's first lesson.
She steers her Chevrolet Epica sedan past forests of near-identical apartment blocks to the Haidian Youth Palace, a relic of Maoist-era China which now holds classes aimed at boosting children's creativity.
At weekends, Nancy has lessons in traditional Chinese calligraphy and a badminton class "with a private coach," Li said.
In the past year, the young girl swapped learning the piano for a new instrument, the ocarina, a pocket-sized flute.
Nancy has only three or four hours of free time a day on weekends, Li said, as she seeks to hold her position in China's highly competitive education system.
A glut of graduates created by the expansion of China's university system means that the graduate unemployment rate is higher than that of the general population, making winning a place at the very best colleges ever more crucial.
Getting into a top school is also not always about ability, Li said, with cash donations sometimes involved.
"Sometimes parents need to do extra work, give out red envelopes and even then, success can depend on your contacts," she said.
This year has bought some more worrying lessons. When thick smog blanketed northern China, sending pollution levels soaring in the capital, Nancy learned about PM2.5, the name given to invisible pollutants which can damage children's lungs.
She reached into the pocket of her mother's car seat and pulled out a face mask.
"My mum made me wear this every day in January and February because the PM2.5 was very bad," she said.

Orseno Looks to Future in Florida
Mandatory payouts for Rainbow 6, Pick 5 and Super Hi 5
In preparation for the inevitable torrential downpours during its initial summer racing season, Gulfstream Park completed a $1 million construction project to strengthen the main track's drainage system in time for the return of live Thoroughbred racing on Tuesday, June 25.
Designed to help move and drain water faster off the racing surface, a gutter was installed in the swale between the inside rail of the main track and the outside rail of the turf course. The project received an early and severe test from Mother Nature, who dumped up to 14 inches of rain in the Hallandale Beach area on Friday, June 7.
Trainer Peter Walder, who has 27 horses stabled at Gulfstream, had his concerns about how the racetrack would withstand so much water, only to be "shocked" when training resumed at Gulfstream the next morning.
"For the track to be opened for training the next day was amazing," Walder said. "It was in great shape. On Sunday, the track was fast. I thought the track was incredibly good. I was shocked. They did a great job on the track."
Walder, who traditionally stabled in the Mid-Atlantic area during the summer months, remained at Gulfstream Park when the winter session came to a close on April 5.
"I did it for a couple of reasons. First, I love it here. It's home. I've always said if they ran here (year-round), I'd stay. And the management here has always gone out of the way to make you feel comfortable," Walder said. "It's the only place I've been to where the frontside and the backside work as one for the good of the game. I wanted to be home, but I wanted to give back to Gulfstream what they've given to me."
Walder, whose horses won at a 29-percent clip during the winter at Gulfstream, said he has four horses to enter Friday for Tuesday's program, which will have first post at 12:50 p.m.
Orseno Looks to Future in Florida
Trainer Joe Orseno is looking to build upon the seven horses he has stabled on the grounds for the summer while he splits his time between Belmont Park and Gulfstream. It was an easy decision to support the first summer session.
"Gulfstream is my favorite track. I would love to be there year-round," Orseno said. "I will look to get more clients who would like to stay in Florida and race at Gulfstream year-round. I'm hoping to be in Florida year-round. Gulfstream is a great place to be. It's the one place I feel at home. I just like being there,"
Stacey Prior, former assistant and exercise rider for Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito, will handle the day-to-day operation of Orseno's stable at Gulfstream.
"I'm planning on going back and forth for July and August, and in September I hope to get there fulltime," Orseno said. "I see all good things. If we could ever get lights there and get deregulation from the dog track and race at night during the summer, it would be great for Gulfstream. There are so many positive things happening there. It's just a place I'd like to be."
Mandatory Payout for Rainbow 6
The wagering menu for Tuesday's card will mirror that of the winter season and will include the popular 10-cent Rainbow 6, the 50-cent Pick 5 and the $1 Super Hi 5, in addition to a full assortment of traditional bets.
Because the program is the last official racing day of the 2012-2013 meeting, there will be mandatory payouts of the Rainbow 6, Pick 5 and Super Hi 5 on Tuesday only.
Beginning on July 1, the first day of the new racing season, there will once again be carryovers for the three wagers, should there be no winning tickets.
The Rainbow 6 has produced multi-million-dollar carryovers and extremely lucrative payoffs, including the record $3.5 million won by a simulcast bettor in New Jersey last February. The innovative wager requires a bettor to select the winners of the last six races on the card, but the bettor must be the only one to hold a unique winning ticket to win the whole pool. If there are multiple winners or there are no tickets with all six winners, 60 percent of the day's pool is paid out, while 40 percent is added to the carryover pool. On Tuesday, the bettor or bettors with the most winners will be eligible for the whole pool.

Highland hands Blackwell its 1st loss of the year
BLACKWELL — The hottest six-man football team in Nolan County has changed its address. Highland now has that distinction after defeating Blackwell, 76-60, on Friday in Blackwell for its fourth consecutive win.Highland running back Michael Hyde ran for 331 yards and six touchdowns as his team improved to 4-3 this season. Blackwell, after starting out 6-0, suffered its first defeat despite 155 yards rushing and four TDs by Jayden Jones and 177 yards passing and three TDs by Matthew Lowry.Highland QBs Jacob Rich-burg and Ethan Wilson were a combined 8-of-14 for 156 yards, with both of them throwing a touchdown pass to Gaga Soedarsono.The game was full of momentum shifts.Highland took first-half leads of 18-0 and 26-8, but Blackwell scored a pair of TDs at the end of the half to get within 26-24 and took its first lead, 32-26, on Low-ry's TD pass to Jones plus Wade Allen's extra point.Blackwell then regained slim leads of 40-32 and 46-40 in the third quarter. Highland tied it a third time at 46-46 going to the fourth quarter, then regained the lead (54-46) on the first of four Hyde scoring runs in the final period — a lead the visiting Hornets would not give back though Blackwell trailed just 62-60 with 4:18 left. Franck Cano and Ted Chambliss also caught scoring passes for Blackwell and Mason Magness had a TD run. Ethan Wilson had a TD run for Highland and Isaac Rios scored on a 78-yard kickoff return. It was the final non-district game for both teams, who have an open date this week.Albany 44, Roscoe 0ROSCOE — The Lions, ranked No. 9 in Class 1A, led Roscoe just 7-0 after the first quarter before erupting for 23 points in the second stanza en route to the win.Albany (6-0, 3-0 in dis-trict) held Roscoe (2-4, 1-2) to just 124 total yards, al-though quarterback Cutter Davila did complete 17 of 29 pass attempts. The Lions' Caleb Masters led all rushers as he gained 203 yards and scored three touchdowns.Roscoe resumes play this Friday when the Plowboys travel to Ranger.

I currently have Pacey at #4 on my list as Pacey William Jack, which I love, BUT I would like to get the honoring name in #5 (Magnus Edward Finn) up into Pacey's name...
Pacey Edward Jack
How does that sound? I don't think I love the flow more than Pacey William Jack but I really like having honoring names further up my list. And the flow isn't too bad. (:
And the problem is that that leaves Magnus out in the cold, because I'm not crazy over Magnus William Finn. So, I'm also looking for a first middle for Magnus. I could steal Howard from Lane's full name (Lane Arrow Howard), so I'd have:
Magnus Howard Finn
Which doesn't sound too bad and kind of matches Pacey's combo. But then Lane Arrow needs a second middle name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...here's my current whole list of boys in case you got lost.
Leonidas Micah Ray
Odin Timothy Keats
Castiel Robin Scott
Pacey William Jack
Magnus Edward Finn
Lane Arrow Howard

Pull up a chair in my domestic church and let's chat!
I have worn many labels (Not in any particular order): Catholic, Wife, Mom,Gramma, Doctor, Major, Soccer Mom, Military Wife, Professor, Fellow.
All of these filter my views of the world. I hope that like St. Monica, I can through prayer, words and example, lead my children and others to Faith.

A different sort of Christmas
My oldest is celebrating in Afghanistan. He already called after getting out of "Midnight" Mass. It began at 3:30am Afghanistan time which corresponded to midnight in Poland. He is on a Polish base. During Mass, a Polish general in Poland addressed the troops in Afghanistan via a video conference set up. Interesting that he assumed the Polish troops would be at Mass.
My daughter-in-law and granddaughter are in Texas with her parents for Christmas. Our home is so quiet. There are only five of us here--well five people and four dogs. My son's two dogs did not join his wife and daughter in Texas. Normally, my parents would be with us for Christmas. My mother's death this past February has left a gaping hole in the Christmas season. My father was here for Thanksgiving so he stayed in Texas and visited my sister for Christmas this year.
Still, there is joy. I heard my son's voice today so I know he is safe. Miles cannot diminish love so even family members who are not in my home are in my heart. And it is still Christmas with so many familiar sights and sounds--a Christmas tree, cookies, and carols.
Most importantly, there is Mass. We always go to Mass on Christmas Eve, but this year my son drew the 7:30 am Christmas morning Mass as an altar server. So we will go to Mass before we open presents. Another difference this year. I love Christmas Mass. The joy of welcoming our newborn Savior wells up within me. It fills all the niches of sorrow and loss. There is Faith. There is Hope. There is Love.
Wishing each of you a Christmas filled with Faith, Hope, and Love. Know the greatest of these is Love.

Yes, that is a lot of change for one year! Praying that the new year brings your oldest son back to the USA safe and sound, and that everyone else will be blessed with happiness and good health as well.

Just getting a little caught up on blogging. Denise, a Merry Christmas to you (since we're still celebrating). I love Christmas Mass too. It sounds like you had a different and yet still joyful Christmas. God bless you and your family and keep your son safe!

Manchester United defender Rafael is surprised at how many appearances he has made this season and feels his development has been aided by his twin brother Fabio leaving Old Trafford on loan.
Rafael has played in more first-team games this term for United than any other member of Sir Alex Ferguson's squad, featuring 21 times in all competitions, 20 as part of the starting XI.
"I start every season hoping to make an impression and play a lot of games, but I couldn't have imagined how well this season has gone for me," Rafael told Inside United. "It's been great, and yes, I've been a little surprised to have played so many games. But I'm not a young player any more. I feel like I've developed and I want to play in every single game."

Christmas yesterday was great. We spent half of the day in Gainesville and the other half down in Inverness with family. The weather was warm (70's) so we fried a turkey and ate outdoors. Kate and I also did some exploring on the ranch:
|I found these hip bones from cattle in a swampy area.
|African Spiny Leg Tortoises
|In this Jeep's better days, we used it to go boar hunting when we were kids.
|Kate with some cattle. I'm just glad my southern roots aren't scaring her off.
Dirt/jeep roads and paved roads.
Slightly hilly.
Upper 50s to lower 60s, humid, overcast.
Saucony Kinvara 2, shorts, short sleeved shirt.
