Young Revolution shows character in earning a valuable point, but there is work to be done ahead of a hectic stretch of games in May
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – When FC Dallas fired seven shots on target and firmly carried the run of play in the first half, the New England Revolution was delighted to enter the halftime break with a 1-0 lead. When Kheli Dube was ejected in the 56th minute to reduce the Revs to 10 men, they might've been happy to simply hold on for a draw. When Joseph Niouky saw red in the 72nd minute, the nine players left on the field could've been forgiven if they simply hoped to keep the final score respectable.
But a herculean effort from goalkeeper Preston Burpo – who made a career-high 10 saves, many of the spectacular variety – kept the Hoops at bay and helped the Revolution hang on to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, keeping Dallas winless in the process.
"It was amazing," said Burpo, who characteristically deferred much of the credit for the result to his teammates. "We were what? Nine guys with 20 minutes to go? You had (Pat) Phelan in the center. You had Khano (Smith) come in and step up. Cory Gibbs and Darrius (Barnes) in the middle were amazing.
"Everyone put in a lot in the last 20 minutes, which is what we needed to preserve a tie," Burpo continued. "All things considered, to walk out with a point, I think everyone is content. We're sure as [anything] not happy, but content would be the best way to say it."
Head coach Steve Nicol echoed Burpo's praise of the effort on the night, particularly after the Revs went down to nine men.
"Effort-wise tonight – absolutely fantastic," he said. "What more can you say? Nine men? They had a couple of chances, but you should when you have a two-man advantage. Preston made some good saves. The back four were solid and did a decent job, threw themselves in front of shots – you name it. Everybody played their part.
"Truth be told, we didn't play well, even when it was 11 v 11," Nicol continued. "But we fought hard and we rode our luck. But certainly the effort was phenomenal."
The Revs were forced to ride their luck because of a pair of second-half red cards, sandwiched around the game's goals. Zack Schilawski gave New England the lead before halftime, but Dube was issued a straight red 11 minutes after the break. Atiba Harris made the most of the man-advantage with the equalizer in the 67th minute, and then Niouky was ejected in the 72nd minute.
Schilawski's goal – his team-leading fourth of the season – was set up by the hard work of Dube. When Dallas goalkeeper Dario Sala attempted to shepherd a long pass over the end line, Dube pounced by rounding the Argentine and only just managed to keep the ball in play. With the net empty, Dube slid a pass into the middle of the field for Schilawski to finish.
"Our team works hard every day," said Dube. "Everybody works hard for everybody, and that's what I did today. I got a chance to work hard and make a play, and it happened to be a goal."
Although the Revs can consider themselves fortunate to have earned a draw – which snapped a brief two-game losing streak – there was disappointment in the way the club performed in the early stages. With midfield leader Shalrie Joseph on a leave of absence from the club, the Revolution once again got off to a slow start and struggled to maintain possession for lengthy periods.
"It's pretty clear they had the run of play for most of the game," said Phelan. "I'm a little disappointed that we didn't work on keeping the ball more than the last couple of games, because we put ourselves in that predicament going two men down."
Even before Dallas was presented with a numerical advantage, the visitors were in control for much of the match. The Hoops hit the post in just the fifth minute and had a series of chances to open the scoring in the first 30 minutes, with only some crucial clearances and missed opportunities keeping them off the board.
Many of those issues stemmed directly from the lack of possession.
"A big problem for us since the beginning of the year is keeping the ball," said Burpo. "Even before the red-card situation, we're under pressure way too much."
"It's a long season," Burpo concluded. "It's a work in progress."
The Revolution will hope to make progress quickly, as Chivas USA visits Gillette Stadium on Wednesday night.

Dangerous Cold: How to prepare for winter storms, extreme cold | Winter driving tips | Health, safety tips | Protecting your pets | What you need in your car | What you need to do at home | Chicago Warming Centers
Dangerous cold follows snow storm
Lake County, Indiana officials declared a state of emergency at 4:30 p.m. Chicago time, allowing only emergency vehicles to be on the road "until further notice."
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has closed state offices for Monday and called in additional Indiana National Guard members to help stranded motorists. A winter storm warning is in effect with blizzard-like conditions in Indiana through midnight Monday for Benton, Jasper, Lake, Newton and Porter counties in Ind.
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced the emergency closure of I-94 between the Illinois state line and the U.S. 421 exit (Michigan City). Also, I-65 is closed between U.S. 12/20 (Gary) and mile marker 172 (Lafayette).
South Shore train service has also been canceled for Monday, and busing between South Bend and Michigan City also canceled.
"Those are the areas that have seen the hardest snow," ABC7 Eyewitness News Meteorologist Phil Schwarz said.
In Illinois, a winter storm warning expired at 6 p.m. But what follows could be worse- dangerous cold. Schools canceled classes and some businesses told employees to work from home on Monday in anticipation of subarctic cold. Schwarz said the plummeting temperatures could bring the coldest weather Chicagoans have seen in decades.
"This could be historically cold," Schwarz said.
The transition into a deep freeze starts Sunday evening. Temperatures could drop to 15 to 20 degrees below zero. A wind chill warning went into effect at 6 p.m. Sunday and lasts through 12 p.m. Tuesday for Lake, Lee, DeKalb, Kane, DuPage, Cook, La Salle, Kendall, Grundy and Will counties in Illinois. In Indiana, a Wind Chill Warning remains in effect for Benton, Jasper, Lake, Newton, and Porter counties. In Wisconsin, Kenosha and Racine counties are also under a Wind Chill Advisory.
Municipalities around Cook County have opened warming centers for area residents that need to get in from the extreme cold.
Click here for complete listing of Cook County warming Centers.
Amtrak modifies Monday service in anticipation of extreme cold
Amtrak service to Chicago will be reduced Monday as officials anticipate decreased ridership as a result of the bitter cold expected to blanket the area.
According to a statement from Amtrak, the following trains are canceled:
- Lincoln Service Trains 300 and 305. Trains 301, 302, 303, 304, 306 & 307 and Trains 21/321 and 22/321 will maintain service on the Chicago-St. Louis corridor.
- Hiawatha Service Trains 329, 332, 333, 336, 337 and 340. Trains 330, 331, 334, 335, 338 and 339 will maintain service on the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor.- Wolverine Service Trains 352 and 353. Trains 350, 351, 354 and 355 will maintain service on the Chicago-Ann Arbor-Detroit-Pontiac corridor.- Carl Sandburg Trains 381 and 382. Trains 380 & 383 will maintain service on the Chicago-Quincy corridor.
- Saluki Trains 391 and 392. Trains 390 & 392 and Trains 58 & 59 will maintain service on the Chicago-Carbondale corridor.
Chicago, suburban schools closed Monday
Several suburban schools canceled classes early on Sunday. Chicago Public Schools (CPS) followed suit Sunday evening, as did the Chicago Archdiocese, canceling classes at elementary schools in Lake and Cook counties. Check the list here.
With wind gusts of up to 35 miles an hour, temperatures could feel like negative 40 or 50 degrees on Monday.
Chicago weather conditions are "life threatening," according to National Weather Service Meteorologist Richard Castro. He said, "People should postpone any non-emergency travel during this period of dangerous cold." Dangerous cold health, safety tips.
On Sunday, 1,300 flights at O'Hare Airport were canceled proactively, and 200 flights were canceled at Midway. Air travelers should expect delays. Adler Planetarium, Brookfield Zoo and Shedd Aquarium are closed Monday. Divvy bike stations are closed, too, and the Cook County Jail will not have visits on Monday or Tuesday. No Lincoln Park Zoolights on Sunday.
Crews with the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services are helping the city's most at risk during the cold, tracking down the homeless and those without sufficient shelter.
"If somebody refuses to leave no matter what, we know where they are," Commissioner Evelyn Diaz, Department of Family and Support Services, said. "We are going to take care of Chicago residents."
Anyone who needs help should call 3-1-1.
State, city snow removal fleets out in full force
On Sunday, the heaviest snow fell south of the city and in Northwest Indiana, where a state of emergency was declared. "Until further notice, NO VEHICLES except police, fire and other emergency vehicles are to be on the road," Lake County officials said in a statement at 4:30 p.m.
In some areas in Northwest Indiana, "zero visibility," Schwarz said. Several inches fell in the city and around the Chicago area.
According to Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the state as 1,755 trucks assigned to snow duty across the state. The Illinois Tollway has Zero Weather Road Patrols in place overnight until Tuesday to help stranded motorists. The City of Chicago has deployed its full fleet of snow plows and salt trucks to combat snow in the areas. Commissioner Charles Williams of the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation reminds drivers to be patient.
"Ensuring main streets are clear is essential," Cmsr. Charles Williams said. Residential streets are plowed to make them passable after all the main streets and Lake Shore Drive are clear and the snow has stopped. Williams asked residents who are shoveling out not to dump the snow they remove back into the plowed residential streets.
"Take that snow and throw it on a parkway, instead of a street," Williams said.
When temperatures drop, ice could form on area streets, Williams said.
"Drive for the conditions. . . If you don't have to be out, this is a good time not to be out on the street,"
The city's warming centers will be open for extended hours -- from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. -- Sunday through Tuesday. To get help, the best option is to call 3-1-1.
Chicago Fire Commissioner Jose Santiago warned people about the dangers of space heaters and encouraged residents to check their fire alarm and carbon monoxide detectors.
Residents stock up on groceries
In anticipation of the storm, Chicago area residents flocked to the grocery stores to stock up on food. Alexis BernardiReis lives across the street from a North Side Jewell.
"I'd rather survive on avocados and K-Cups than go into that Jewel," BernardiReis said. "It's been insane."
Julie Nakis stopped at a Jewel in River North for milk, popcorn and fruit.
"Everybody was in the same boat," said Nakis, 25. "They just wanted to get their grocery shopping done and not worry about leaving the house tomorrow or Monday."

Berrissimo Frozen Yoghurt
My colleague Steph told me about this magical Frozen Yoghurt place Berrissimo on Brunswick St that do vegan options.
They have two vegan flavours (and yes, they are gluten-free!) each week. This week's flavours are watermelon and yellow peach. I was going for the small yellow peach with no topping ($4) but K said the whole point of having fro-yo is the fun of adding toppings.
So, I decided to go hard and picked yellow peach pieces and two types of buba ($5.5 with three toppings).
It is even better than the TCBY fro-yo I had back home in my pre-vegan days. And yep, picking toppings for your fro-yo is fun! :-) K loved it too, she said it had a great sweet-sour flavour.

Volunteers are invited to come to the playground, located on the grounds of the J.S. Jenks Elementary School, on Saturday, April 6from 8:30am to 10:30am. Volunteers will help clean the grounds, remove weeds, trim bushes, and rake up leaves.
Please come to the playground at Germantown and Southampton Avenues and bring work gloves, shovels, rakes and lots of energy.
If you can't volunteer this Saturday, please consider coming to the Spring Work Day on Saturday, April 6 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. At this busy work day, volunteers will spread fresh mulch as ground coverage and add new sand to the sandbox. These efforts will prepare the playground for its increased utilization during the spring and summer months.
The playground and adjacent garden was built and is still maintained primarily by volunteers and community contributions. The Friends of the Children's Park coordinate the Spring Cleans Up days and Spring Work days. This group conducts fundraisers and receives support from the Chestnut Hill Community Fund to meet its maintenance expenses.
This maintenance includes repairing equipment, laying mulch ground cover, replacing sand, planting trees, staining wooden play structures, repainting fences and gates, handling trash removal and maintaining the required insurances.
Other volunteer opportunities include fundraising, gardening, grounds maintenance and repair. Donations can be made directly to the park, or via United Way Donation. (United Way #4100). For more information, please call 215-284-1914 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Hering Vacation Properties
Our family owns three luxury homes in Deer Valley, Utah and New Smyrna Beach, Florida. We love sharing our homes with guests and have for over 8 years. We work very hard to make sure our clients are happy with our properties and we have a very high repeat customer base. We have more guest comments on our online guest books than any other properties in each market (go to http://www.vrbo.com/55322 and http://www.vrbo.com/68593 and http://www.vrbo.com/19036).
We are targeting people that are looking for a nice property to vacation at in Florida and Utah. Many of our guests are families with children as our properties are very family friendly.
We currently list our properties on a number of vacation home web sites including http://www.vrbo.com (our listing numbers are 55322 and 68593 and 19036). This has been very effective for us. It includes a calender (it would be great to link our new site to each calender), 16 photos (we want to include a minimum of 16 photos), a slide show (we want to include this in the site), and a very details description of each unit.
The challenge is that guests that find our individual units may not know that we own other properties that may appeal to them as well. Thus the idea of having one site that shows all three of our properties
I want to convey high end for our Deer Valley properties and our New Smyrna Beach property yet also that each unit is very family friendly as well as perfect for a group of adults only. I want to show that our guests offer more amenities than other comparable units and list them as well. I also want to show that we have been doing this for close to 10 years. Also, I want to include our many guest comments on how they have been raving about our 3 properties.
This new website will then be linked on our listings at http://www.vrbo.com.
Creativity is key to helping us stand out from the rest of the vacation homes available in each area. I have many photos (at least 16 per property) that I can showcase. Plus short videos/slide shows with music as well.
I am thinking that the second page would be used as a Photo Gallery and Contact Page
Our listings can be found at http://www.vrbo.com/55322 and http://www.vrbo.com/68593 and http://www.vrbo.com/19036

A recent Friday night was our 11th annual Upper School Library Sleepover. Originally started by students, I was ready to let this tradition retire with the previous librarian, who retired last year and chaperoned and organized this event for a decade. The students who thought of it as a Brentwood School tradition, however, demanded we do it again, and I am so glad we did! As soon as I advertised the event one time at assembly, it was full, with over 20 students wanting to attend. Members of the Student Library Advisory Council (SLAC-ers) decided we would read Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet and watch the BBC Sherlock version of the Sherlock Holmes novella. One senior created a role-play mystery game for us to solve, which we did at 1:00 AM. She creatively invented characters related to the novella, and gave us each clues on paper made to look old, complete with wax seals. A tenth grader shared that the "library overnight was a great way to bond and meet new people ... My favorite part was when some people summarized the first half of the book by performing an interpretive dance version. Overall, I had a ton of fun, and I'm definitely excited for next year." We set up our sleeping bags in front of the TV at around 1:30 AM and most of us were asleep by 3:00. It was a night of laughter, acting, books, mystery, and new friends, and we are glad to keep the tradition going for another decade.
So many of our kids excel at sports or drama, where they get to have parties - end of season parties or cast parties - with their peers who have similar interests. I was honored to have a party for the students who love to celebrate stories, and I was happy to bring them together. Our foreign exchange student from China came too, and it was so fun for her to enjoy the craziness of the teens being up most of the night. Next year I think we are going to read excerpts from Pride and Prejudice and watch the Lizzie Bennet Diaries - we supported the Kickstarter project and bought the DVD already!

LAS VEGAS - Wrestling tights were replaced by ties Saturday night at the 40th Annual Cauliflower Alley Club (CAC) banquet where Terry Funk received the night's top honor, the Iron Mike Mazurki Award.
Executive Vice-President and Co-presenter of what has been dubbed "professional wrestling's most prestigious award," Karl Lauer told those in attendance that the Iron Mike Mazurki Award had only been given out 14 previous times and had three requirements: the recipient had to be immediately recognizable, successful in two or more professions (Funk's being wrestling and acting) and someone who is benevolent.
"Terry is a giver, not a taker," commented Lauer. "And he's always been one of the finest wrestlers that ever lived."
Vice-President of the CAC and also co-presenter, Nick Bockwinkel, spoke next. After some kind words, humor and two playful slaps to Funk's face, he observed, "(Terry's) always off the wall. You have no idea what to expect and he's one of the greatest champions the NWA's ever had."
Funk approached the podium only to have his cell phone ring.
"Would you believe this crap?" he asked those in attendance.
It was soon evident it was all a rib as Funk repeated "Si" into the phone several times only to announce to a laughing crowd, "Verne Gagne, we've got a challenge here from Chavo Guerrero. Oh, I am so funny tonight!"
Funk then went on to answer the question if given the opportunity, would he relive his career all over again.
"Would I do it again?" he questioned with a smirk. "God, no I wouldn't do it again. I'd be a Wal-Mart greeter. That way I'd have more money and insurance."
Funk then got serious and spoke about his and so many other's love for the business and encouraged everyone to "never let it stop."
"We all have the same love for a crazy God damn insane business that just magnetizes us and attracts us to one another," he declared.
He finished his speech by reading a moving dedication from his book and thanking several of his peers including: the women of wrestling who he described as "often forgotten," Larry "the Axe" Henning, Harley Race, the Vachons and Killer Kowalski.
"It's a trip I'll never forget and I never want to end it," promised Funk.
Other banquet happenings and distinctions:
Jamie Kreiser apologizes for not having this story done sooner. She is still recovering from a unique Vegas excursion that included Barry Orton, Sir Oliver Humperdink, Ox Baker and Bob Johnson. That and the fact that beer and margaritas are a lot cheaper down there than in her hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan.

Basic Scones
Makes 8
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons frozen grated butter
1/2 cup cold milk
1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
2. Sift the dry ingredients 3 times into a large bowl. Rub the frozen grated butter into the dry ingredients until it feels like sand. Add enough milk just until you get a sticky dough.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board, and lightly flour the top. Knead very gently once, then fold and turn the kneaded dough 3 or 4 times until the dough has formed a smooth texture. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 6-by-12-inches, then fold into thirds.
4. Using a well-floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out 6 rounds. You can get 2 more scones from the scraps, but they won't be as tender. Alternately, use a well-floured sharp knife to form wedges. Brush the scone tops with milk, or sprinkle them lightly with flour.
5. Transfer scones to a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly colored. Immediately transfer to a cooling rack. Serve with clotted cream, jam or homemade lime or lemon curd.

text: Set to make a formal debut at this year SEMA Show, RageTank.com is looking to bring the racing community from all over the US & Canada together. The new mobile app allows you to select your racetrack for the day, the car you are flogging and the best part is it operates in airplane mode. A great feature since most of our beloved tracks receive little to no cell signal as it is. Once off, the app records your best lap time, top speed and even can calculate your predicted lap time. Other features like the Gas/Food/Lodging buttons can help you find appropriate accommodations within earshot of the track. Bare in mind the app will only work when your smartphone GPS has entered into one of their 335 race tracks coordinates. It will not work for you hooning around your neighborhood or on a canyon run.

Could there be a sea change happening at the LCBO when it comes to products previously disallowed for reasons of "community standards"? Dan Aykroyd's Crystal Head is now on shelves and this holiday beer that features a picture of a rogue-ish Austrian Santa — more Billy Bob Thornton than Tim Allen — on the label has also been given the green light by the AGCO.
It didn't make it out from the LCBO warehouses to stores before the 25th but there still seems to be a strong demand for it. Summerhill went through 44 bottles in three days and I wouldn't be surprised if the inventory at other locations disappears almost as quickly. (more…)

A 5-3 victory by Wabash against Allegheny in the finals of the 2011 North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Tournament gave the Little Giants a third place finish a school-record 18th win for the season. Wabash finished third in the final conference tournament standings for the third consecutive season.
Freshmen Daniel Delgado and Wade Miller opened play against the Gators with an 8-2 victory at number one doubles. Ricky Ritter and Peter Gunderman scored an 8-4 win at number two doubles, while Ian Leonard and Evan Bayless completed the sweep with an 8-2 win in the third doubles flight.
Allegheny rallied for three wins in singles play before the Little Giants could take the match with three singles wins of their own. Miller won 6-3, 7-6 (4) at number two singles to give Wabash a lead in the team score. Ritter (right) scored the matching-winning victory in his final collegiate career match with a 6-0, 6-0 shutout at number five singles.
Wabash finished the year at 18-10, eclipsing the mark of 17-11 to set the old record one year ago.

The Cowboys are on their way to putting together their best draft since at least 2005 after two more solid picks in rounds 2 and 3. They aren't going flashy, but they are picking solid players who can step in a contribute immediately.
In round 2, the Cowboys picked Bruce Carter. He'll fit in nicely at inside linebacker. While the Cowboys may not need someone to step in immediately at middle linebacker with Bradie James, Keith Brooking, and Sean Lee already there the two starters are getting up there in age. Keith Brooking has one season left with the Cowboys if he even stays with the team. Bradie James is starting to slow down. So it makes perfect sense to find another heir apparent in the middle of the defense along with Sean Lee. Carter is an excellent athlete but he is recovering from a knee injury which is why the Cowboys were able to land such a talented player all the way in round 2. Assuming he gets back to full speed he could be a long term starter.
The end of Marion Barber's time in Dallas may have come when the Cowboys picked DeMarco Murray in the 3rd round. The Cowboys now have three running backs on the roster and you can bet that all three won't be back next year. With Barber's ridiculous contract I would bet he'll be the odd man out. DeMarco Murray will fit in nicely with Felix Jones and Tashard Choice. Choice will probably take over the short yardage/goal line role with Felix Jones starting. That makes DeMarco Murray the 3rd down/change up back. Murray is an excellent pass blocker and a great receiver out of the back field. I love the pick. Probably the best feature for Murray this season is his ability to return kicks. So the Cowboys can let Dez Bryant exclusively return punts and focus on wide receiver this year.
I'm waiting for the Cowboys to find some depth on the defensive line but I can't complain when they are not only addressing high need positions, but they are also filling the roster holes with players who can get on the field this year. I hope they continue finding guys who can help now and develop into starters down the road. Tyron Smith will most likely start this year. Carter and Murray both have the ability to become starters very soon.

What's up Romo2Witten, I'm baaack. Keep up the good work but do me two favors. Factor into your analysis of our picks who was left on the board at the time we picked (ala Bowers still on the board when we took Carter). When the draft is over go back through our schedule and factor into your analysis who our opponents picked up in the draft (ala facing Suh and Fairley when we play Detroit.ReplyDelete

Obama Passes Telework Enhancement Act of 2010
It's a been proven: teleworkers are more focused, productive and able to balance their family life and work life. But in comparison to other industries, the public sector has been slow to adopt telework policies. President Obama, however, is making significant strides to change that. Last week, the House passed the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010 requiring federal agencies to establish policies that enable government employees to work remotely.
Teleworking in the public sector is not new. In fact, government workers were advised to work from home in April 2010 during the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington to avoid the traffic snarls from high-security measures. And when snowstorms, also known as snowpocalypse, closed down federal offices in Washington for days in February 2010, teleworking kept government agencies running and operational. Until now, though, teleworking has only been implemented during extreme situations. Yet, 61 percent of the federal workforce holds a telework-compatible job. If those eligible work from home at least once a week, government agencies would see productivity increases, federal employees would realize transportation-related savings and the nation would experience reduced carbon emissions.
Furthermore, research shows that teleworkers find more satisfaction in their jobs compared to those who are office-based and that teleworkers experience a greater number of benefits associated with working remotely. Giving federal employees more freedom to telework is expected to save the government money since it will spend less in onsite resources, help retain employees because of increased flexibility and be prepared for the unexpected disruptions that stall operations. Overall, it's a promising move that we can expect will be adopted by more government agencies down the road.

To study the history of the Jews within the Russian Empire, one is quick to learn such things as intolerance, expulsion and assimilation. These were all issues that the Jews had to deal with on a daily basis. From the Middle Ages, the Jews were under pressure to fit into the Russian believe that all should form a single people, based on common beliefs, with a common language and common religion.
The history of our ancestors, and the struggles that they went through are now documented in a wonderful website http://www.friends-partners.org/partners/beyond-the-pale/index.html. That site Beyond the Pale- The History of the Jews in Russia, tells the stories of our people. not only through written word but through some wonderful photos.
This site not only discusses the history of the Jews, but talks of anti-Jewish attitudes and intolerance of the Jewish people. As it states on the site "This exhibition depicts the history of anti-Jewish attitudes -- and of anti-Semitism today, a form of intolerance that in our century caused the death of millions of people. The exhibition also portrays the history of Jews in Europe and in Russia to help understand their life, religion and culture. But above all, the exhibition wants to warn of the great dangers of prejudice and intolerance, particularly in times of political uncertainty and increased social tension."
It is so very important that we read and reread the histories of places such as the Pale of Settlement, for if we don't don't learn from the past, what kind of future can we have.

RIPLEY - Ripley High senior forward Sarah Williams is making the most of her last season on court for the blue and white.
With two double-doubles under her belt (double figures in two categories in one game) this season, she played her most dominating game to date versus Shady Spring at Ripley Health Center on Monday evening as the Lady Vikings took down the Tigers 59-45 for the second time this season.
Williams, an Honorable Mention Class AAA All State selection last season, notched 25 points, 15 rebounds and 11 steals in what is surley one of the most dominating performances in the county over the last two seasons.
"Sarah is playing as well as anyone in our conference (MSAC). In watching film, I realize what she does for our team. She is all over the floor making plays for us," said Coach Justin Frashier.
The Lady Vikings were coming off a heartbreaking loss to cross county rival Ravenswood that saw Ripley shoot poorly down the stretch from the free-throw line and squander a 10 point halftime lead in a 58-55 loss to the Devilettes.
Ripley took over the game in the second quarter on the hot shooting of Savannah Williams and Emily Oldham. Williams was an enforcer on the boards collecting offensive rebounds alongside post-player Jade Donohew, which gave Ripley second chance shots at the bucket.
Ripley led 20-14 at intermission and came out firing in the third on the shoulders of Sarah Williams' aggressive play.
The Lady Vikings slammed the door shut with a 24 point fourth period.
Point guard Chelsey Hager played well in the contest, knocking down a trey and finishing with nine points and five assists.
Ripley shot much better from the charity stripe in this contest, connecting on (14-of-21) for a 66.7 percent clip.
Ripley (3-5) will host Lincoln County on January 8.
For the game; Emily Oldham added six points and four boards, Amy Ferrell had four points and three rebounds, Kensey Bergdorf had two points and a rebound and Jade Donohew had two points and eight rebounds.
Williams' triple-double leads Lady Vikings over Shady

Alien Species
The introduction of non-native species to an ecosystem is one of the major causes of decreased biodiversity. Termed alien species, they are also known as exotic, introduced, non-indigenous, or invasive species. As the names imply, these species do not belong to ecosystems in which they are either intentionally or unintentionally placed. They tend to disrupt the ecosystem's balance by multiplying rapidly. These species are often plants, fishes, mollusks, crustaceans, algae, bacteria or viruses.
Many alien species are tranferred into marine ecosystems through the ballast water transported during commercial shipping operations. Ship ballast water may transport up to 3,000 species around the world every day. Alien species are often introduced into freshwater ecosystems such as estuaries, rivers, lakes and streams by humans discarding animals or plants formerly held in captivity. In some cases, species used as bait can invade freshwater ecosystems. Well-known invasive species include the Northern Snakehead fish, the Zebra mussel, the Sea Lamprey and the Asiatic Clam, Corbicula fluminea.
Effects on Humans
The introduction of an alien species is often responsible for an increase in predation and competition, habitat reduction, a variety of diseases, extinction of native plants or animals and genetic change in populations. Certain strains of cholera have been transported in ballast water, ending up in oyster beds and infecting finfish destined for the dinner table.
Alien Species Aboard
Alien species are often transported to non-native habitats in the ballast of ships. The organisms are taken in when ships attempt to balance their load by letting water into their holding tanks. When they reach their destination, the ballast water is released and with it any organisms picked up earlier. Mollusks and other organisms whose habitat includes marine substrate also attach to the surfaces of ocean-going vessels at the point of departure and then fall into the water at the destination.
Unintentional Introductions
Aquarium plants and animals, such as the invasive algae Caulerpa, as well as ornamental plants like the purple loosestrife are released innocently into waterways by humans. They quickly overgrow and eventually choke native plants and even interfere with the water flow of lakes, rivers, estuaries, and streams. Unwanted exotic fish, such as the red lionfish, Pterois volitans, have invaded the waters of the Southeastern United States. The introduction of this non-native species may cause problems becaues of its poisonous spines that divers or swimmers may be unaware of and it may also pose a risk to native species through predation or competition.
Intentional Introductions
Alien species like the cane toad have been introduced intentionally to reduce the number of a native species in the area. Unfortunately, this plan can backfire when the animal multiples quickly and takes over the habitat and beyond. In Hawaii, for example, the mongoose has eliminated many species of birds but it was originally introduced to keep the rat population down. The kudzu plant that blankets much of the southern United States was the result of a program sponsored by the government to control erosion.
New seaways or cross-basin connections provide a way for alien species to cross over into novel territories. The Great Lakes became significantly invaded by alien species following the creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959.
Wetlands filled with foreign soil are invaded by seeds and roots of plants from other ecosystems.
The Food Industry
Seafood like shrimp, oysters, and Atlantic salmon is farmed in non-native areas like the Pacific Northwest. When juveniles escape into waterways, the potential for spread of disease and harm to the ecosystem is created.
Animals like the northern snakehead fish and Asian swamp eel were introduced as a potential source of food, but they soon overwhelmed the ecosystem forcing local communities, scientists, and policy makers to find ways to control them.
Diseases, such as whirling disease, which infects rainbow trout, can infect native species when introduced by alien species, in this case the European brown trout imported from Europe.
Seafood is sometime packed in seaweed, which houses alien species that are subsequently introduced to new ecosystems.
The Fishing Industry
Recreational fisherman have introduced alien species to their favorite fishing hole so that there are an abundance of fish available to catch.
Fish bait, such as crayfish, minnows, and earthworms are often thrown overboard, introducing them to new ecosystems that cannot support them. Earthworms have depleted the topsoil in some northern U.S. forests reducing the organic matter available for native species.
Sewage and wastewater contain seeds and roots of invasive species that are discharged into waterways and transported by water flow to the ocean.
Voracious Invaders
Alien species are often able to survive better than native species, which results in increased competition among native species. Alien plants take over the areas with abundant sunlight and use up nutrients essential for other plants. They can also deplete oxygen in the water causing a hypoxic environment that suffocates other marine life.
Research and Prevention
Research known as vector ecology is currently taking place to determine exactly how alien species are introduced. Scientific studies in the population ecology of alien species is helping to understand why some species thrive in non-native environments and what impacts they're having on native species. Research in biogeography provides important data about global distribution patterns of alien species and databases with organized information make it possible for scientists to compile and analyze the data to help shape future practices designed to avoid introduction of alien species.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. _ Living here for the first 18 years of his life produced a lot of great memories for Lipscomb Bisons coach Scott Sanderson.
The 40 minutes of basketball the Bisons played here Tuesday night with the University of Alabama will not be placed in the "good times" file. The Bisons struggled from the opening tip-off and lost 71-51 to the Crimson Tide at Coleman Coliseum.
"We did not compete the way we typically compete," Sanderson said. "Wow, that's all I can say. I did not see this coming at all. We were not very good at all. We competed for about five minutes in the second half.
"In these kinds of games it is how you set the tone both offensively and defensively. We were not very good on either end of the floor. I did not enjoy one thing about the time we were here on the court."
The loss ended the Bisons winning streak at five games. They are 7-3 this season.
They are 0-11 against teams from the Southeastern Conference since making the move to NCAA Division I.
Alabama is 6-6 overall, winning all six games on their home court this season.
"You have to give Alabama credit though," Sanderson said. "They played well defensively and understood our personnel. Alabama has improved drastically."
The Bisons faced a 14-point deficit when they returned to the court for the second half.
They didn't help themselves by letting Tony Mitchell score on a layup on the first possession of the first half.
But the Bisons started chipping away as their three-point shooting started to click with guards Josh Slater and Jordan Burgason finding the range.
With 14:38 left in the game the Bisons cut the lead to nine, 45-36, as Burgason connected on a three-pointer from the corner. Slater hit one of two free throws with 11:51 remaining to trim the lead to eight points at 45-37.
Trevor Releford scored on a layup with 10:37 on the clock to give the Tide a 47-37 lead.
Charvez Davis connected on back-to-back-back three-pointers to give the Tide a 56-37 lead with 8:30 left in the game. Davis scored a game high 22 points.
Sanderson was concerned that the first five minutes would decide the game. But after eight minutes each team had eight points, an average of one point per minute.
The Bisons spotted Alabama an 8-0 lead in the opening 3:23 of the game before coming back to tie the game at 8-8 on a layup and a free throw by Brandon Barnes at 13:42.
Lipscomb center Adnan Hodzic, who has been scoring most of his points in the second half of games, connected on four-of-10 shots for eight points in the first half. He finished with 12 for the game.
With the Bisons shooting only 12.5 percent (1-of-8) from three-point range in the first half Hodzic's inside scoring was even more important.
With five seconds left before intermission Davis scored on a layup. He added a free throw to make it 35-19, the biggest lead of the half.
With one second left Slater hit a pair of free throws to cut Alabama's lead to 35-21. The 21 points was the lowest first half production for the Bisons since scoring 21 against Jacksonville Dec. 6, 2008. The Bisons lost that game 83-67.
The 51 points by the Bisons was the lowest total by the team in a game since losing 57-50 at Samford Nov. 24, 2008.
"It was hard for us to score baskets," Sanderson said. "Alabama really understood who was doing what on our team." The Bisons made 15 turnovers and also had 10 shots blocked.
"We got everything blocked," Sanderson said. "Against Alabama you cannot go too far into the lane or you will get it blocked.
"Blocked shots, in my opinion, are like turnovers. Those 10 blocked shots are the same thing as 10 more turnovers against us."
Burgason led the Bisons with 13 points. Slater added 10.
Guard Brandon Barnes led the Bisons with eight rebounds. Alabama held a 44-41 advantage on the boards. Chris Hines grabbed game high 10 boards for the Tide.
The Bisons shot 28.8 percent from the field (19-of-66) and 20 percent from the three-point line (5-of-25). Alabama had held opponents to an average of only 58.1 points per game heading into the Lipscomb game.
The pregame buzz was that the Bisons might have a legitimate chance to win against Alabama.
"We weren't polished at all," Sanderson said. "If we played like we were capable of playing I thought we had a chance to win. I still feel that way. But when you played like we did you have a zero chance of winning."
The Bisons will take a short Christmas break before returning to the court Dec. 30 at Memphis.

Corpus Callosotomy
Corpus Callosotomy is a surgical procedure to disrupt pathways between the two halves of the brain which are involved in certain generalized seizure disorders. It may be considered a therapeutic option in patients excluded from resective procedures because their seizures are either unlocalized, multifocal and bilateral, or localized but not resectable.
Corpus Callosotomy is an operation which aims only to limit the spread and clinical symptom of seizures by disconnecting the two cerebral hemispheres from one another.
What to expect
- The morning of the procedure you will arrive from home.
- You will be taken to the operating room where you will have anesthesia, then the neurosurgeon will separate the two sides of the brain.
- Once the surgery is completed (approximately 6-8 hours) you will go to the Neurological Intensive Care Unit. Pediatric patients will be taken to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. You will spend the first night in the intensive care unit.
- The next morning you will be taken to the Neurological Medical Unit.
- You will have a dressing on your head.
- You will be discharged to home a few days after the operation.

Into the Woods
Walt Disney, $29.99; Blu-ray, $39.99
Available on VOD on Tuesday
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's work is one of the great achievements of American musical theater: a mash-up of classic fairy tales that's funny, tuneful and refreshingly honest about the impossibility of "happily ever after." "Chicago" director Rob Marshall's big-screen version isn't the best possible that could've been made — it lacks humor and trims the second act until all the big emotional moments come in quick, numbing succession — but the songs and story still work, and the cast is top-notch. Meryl Streep gets most of the attention as the wicked...

alt: wonderful!! Tim has a great list of resources that many of us aren't aware of.
Seventies: He really does. So I decided I'm going to spend two days at the National Archives. Maybe 3.. but at least two
alt: good luck, not sure I would be up to 2-3 days of research at this stage of the game.
Seventies: I'm glad I found out about the records. Maybe I can find other family members in it...
alt: I can 'browse' all day long, but concentrated research, no way.
Seventies: lol
alt: what resource did Tim recommend?
Seventies: U.S. Serial Set. I'd never even heard of it.
alt: ah so, okay
Seventies: Apparently, it has testimony and depositions in it. He says that Adams Co. has a LOT of the Mississippi state depositions. Needless to say I was excited. Hello Selma
Selma: Afternoon Lunch Bunchers..alt and seventies
alt: that's good to hear....I think the U.S. Serial Set was one of the 'biggies' on the Heritage Quest site.
Seventies: okay.
alt: Ms. Selma, how goes it with you?
Seventies: He said that he accesses it from a library
Selma: Limping along here.. LOL
Seventies: Oh no, is rain or snow in the forecast?
alt: Limping? what's up with that?
Seventies: brb y'all.
alt: Selma, the TJ 'controversy'….. shades of the Obama book last year, huh?
Seventies: What TJ controversy?? I have missed all of that. . .
alt: Interesting how historians/biographers seem to adopt the person they are writing about and their view of that person is the only view they will accept. the book by Henry Weincek (sp) "Master of the Mountain" or some simialr title about TJ.
Selma: I haven't read Weincek's book..but the heat that Gordan Reed took in her first book before the DNA was done and the results came out, was substantial..or have folks forgotten
alt: not me
Selma: and I am not talking about the book she wrote that got the pulitzer..I have to find the first one
Daviss: Hi there alt, Selma and Seventies!
Seventies: Hi Daviss.
Selma: Afternoon Daviss..
alt: my recollections of TJ and the projects surrounding him go back to the Getting Word project that Cinder Stanton, Diane Wright (?) and Bev Gray worked on back in the early 1990's. hello Daviss I think they were among the first to take and up close and personal look at the 'slave life' on Monticello (Getting Word)
Selma: I have both of Weinceks other books and they are excellent..the one on The Hairston's and Washington
alt: hello vkn
Seventies: hello vkn! Anyone see this on facebook? http://mariahszepher.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-day-ms-ruby-lee-bates-helped-shape.html
vkn: Howdy alt daviss selma seventies
Selma: Yes to Cinder Stanton and Wright..don't know Gray, but they took a lot of flak for their more honest portrayal of Jefferson
alt: not yet Seventies
Daviss: hello there vkn!
vkn: Oops driver is here gotta run
alt: Bev Gray is from Chillicothe, Ohio and is a great researcher on the Hemmings family that migrated to Ohio ... Madison & Eston, along with the Tuckers & Fossett's that came from Monticello.
Selma: The TJ/Hemmings and Grandma was a full blooded Indian, and exactly who one the Ware are 2 or 3 of the topics that here in VA cause the most "Foaming at the mouth, knashing of the Teeth and taking to the Bed" reactions..it is how I came up with the saying LOL..at seventies
Daviss: lol lol
Seventies: Ok now I'm fully back... lol
alt: fully, are you sure Seventies? LOL
Selma: Sorry daviss..will check it out after I put Mizz Vicky/Angela down for a nap
Seventies: lol yes well I'm going to try to be lol

Daviss: lol selma ok thats good enough for me
Seventies: Ok how come y'all didn't ever talk to me about the U.S. Serial Set?? 'cept for you alt. lol
alt: we thought you knew Seventies
Selma: It is something I had heard of seventies..but not actually looked at... There is a lot to keep up with
Seventies: Well it was recommended to me so I plan on looking at it in December at the Nat'l Archives.. Selma, don't I know it!
alt: too much to keep up with and more 'stuff' is becoming available everyday.
Selma: Plus a lot of the folks I talk to are looking for leaves...and getting them to expand their search can be exhausting..you excluded
Seventies: well at this point, I know directly who I am looking for. I'm looking more so for the history of my family. Specifically the Rounds. This could lead to something else... About the lives of my ancestors. . . hopefully this will give some stories, insights etc.
alt: I got an email this morning from a young lady (18 y/o) that is the youngest daughter of one of my closet childhood freinds... she found 2 photos of me and her father on AfriGeneas .. from 1944 & 1952.... really made my day ... her father passed away in 1998 when she was 4 y/o.
Selma: How wonderful alt..
Seventies: Whoaaaa 18?? hold on brb.
Daviss: how sweet alt
alt: yes Selma, I'm getting together a package of photos that her father is in to send to her.... The earliest photo I have of him is when he was about 5-6 y/o and was the mascot for a baseball team.
Selma: What a wonderful gift alt...I am sure she and her family will treasure
alt: I hope so Selma.... one of the 'pleasures' of getting old... helping folks relate to their families ... historically
Selma: Does she live in Ohio?

Trailer Trash Tracys | DS050 | Released: 16/01/12
Inhabiting their own beautifully dark, ethereal corner of the musical universe, poised somewhere at the crossroads between the nocturnal, rolling soundscapes of Angelo Badalamenti and the sublime, naive melodies of 50s pop, Trailer Trash Tracys are a deliciously unique proposition.
Recorded by the band themselves on a "solfeggio scale" – a scale to which, apparently, western guitars and pianos are not pitched to – Ester is an ambitious achievement that marries an experimental urge with a love for the standards and classics of pop eternal.
The freeform intro "Rolling - Kiss The Universe" leads us into Trailer Trash Tracys' own otherworldy sonic space in which their ideas play freely. Deep and hazy sonic textures drift around singer Suzanne Aztoria's gossamer light vocals, which sound as though they were beamed from another dimension, evoking a sensual, yet unnerving tension. The album progresses to reveal ever expanding possibilities, running the gamut from the spiralling guitar shreds of "Engelhardt's Arizona" to the gloriously seductive and brooding pop of "You Wish You Were Red", out to the delicate, pinprick orchestrations of "Starlatine". The smouldering slow-burn of "Turkish Heights", meanwhile, closes the album in poignant style, romantic, dreamy and sincere, revealing a tender heart beating indelibly inside the machine.
With Ester, the inimitable world of Trailer Trash Tracys is brought to haunting, vivid life (in a visual sense as well, with Kurt Ralske responsible for the artwork) – a little off-kilter, a little askew, but nothing less than utterly beguiling and completely memorable.

About 4Spectrum E Vitamin E Complex

The power of Vitamin E to treat and prevent heart disease of all types, whether coronary or rheumatic, depends upon four chief characteristics:
"Vitamin E seems to be a natural
in the human blood stream. It has been found by Zierler of Johns Hopkins and the U.S. Navy Research Department and Kay at Tulane to be a substance normally circulating in the blood of all men which prevents clots occurring inside the vessel. It is the only substance preventing the clotting of blood which is not dangerous. It does not interfere with the normal clotting of blood in a wound and with the normal healing process. Indeed, it actually accelerates the healing of burns and wounds.
"The second important effect of the use of Vitamin E is oxygen conservation. It is a
natural antioxidant
in the body. It has been shown by Houchin and Mattill, and this has been confirmed by many workers, to decrease the oxygen requirement of muscle by as much as 43 percent and makes the narrow stream of blood which gets through the narrowed coronary artery in many heart patients adequate to prevent the occurrence of anoxia (lack of oxygen), which is the trigger that sets off
anginal or heart pain
. Consequently, we have patients in Montreal who were once unable to walk half a block without the occurrence of angina pectoris but are now able to climb Mount Royal. Indeed, there is present in my audience today at least one such patient.
"The third major function of Vitamin E is the prevention of excessive
scar tissue
production and even, in some instances, the ability to melt away unwanted scar. It has been proven to function in this way in many areas of the bodyfrom the hand, in Dupuytrens contraction (Rochester, N.Y.)to urinary tract strictures (Johns Hopkins).
"It is a dilator of blood vessels. This was beautifully demonstrated by x-ray in rabbits injected before and after the administration of
Vitamin E
by two workers in Florence, Italy. It opens up new pathways in the damaged circulation, therefore, and by-passes blocks produced by clots and
hardened arteries
"These four functions, all of them extensively confirmed in animal experimentation and human clinical work, make it the most valuable ally the cardiologist has yet found in the treatment of heart disease. It has no rivals. No other substance has this array of needful properties. This drug then becomes the first safe drug which can be given to patients suffering from the results of a clot in a coronary artery. There has been and still is no treatment at all for this type of case except two mildly useful drugs, which can be administered with great peril to the already precarious patient. Vitamin E replaces rest and reassurance, which have no authentic basis, with real help to the damaged, laboring heart itself. It is the key both to the prevention and treatment of all those conditions in which a lack of blood supply due to thickened or blocked blood vessels or a lack of oxygen is a major part or the whole story of the disease. As I have said, it has no rivals. No pharmacologist or internist can suggest another substance with all the powers and properties of this vitamin. God made it unique and we ignore it at our peril.
From a speech delivered by Evan Shute, MD, Gynecology, of the Shute Foundation of London, Ontario, Canada. He and his brother Wilfrid Shute, MD, Cardiology, used
natural Vitamin E complex
successfully in treatment of over 55,000 patients during their respective careers.
