Please Be An Elf, ASAP! (What you can do…)
You still have time to be an Elf and help the 25% of our nation's impoverished children, get the basics they need before their holiday!
This is a follow-up to the blog I wrote introducing #OccupyNorthPole, and the launch video.
Yesterday I had the honor of speaking live with radio talk show host Nicole Sandler of Radioornot.com, while she was filling in for Randi Rhodes, host of The Randi Rhodes Show. We discussed some of the ways people can help. With time so short before the holiday season, I want to provide y'all a list of things you can do to help Santa get children their basic requests before Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa.
As I told listeners yesterday, I've been doing tours to find out what is going on with holiday donations this year. This past weekend I spoke with a representative of the Salvation Army, volunteers at a corner community feed, and more and found that my suspicions were confirmed; holiday giving is down for the 4th year in a row. Giving by the wealthy was down 15% in 2009, 35% in 2010 and it looks like things are worse this year with increases in demand ranging from 10%-30%, depending on the region of the country. We need all Elfs on deck! With 25% of our nation's children enduring hunger and poverty, we can't afford not to get involved to protect our/their future and national security.
Last weekend I stopped by the Toys for Tots Drive at the Fox 31/KDVR studios in Denver and found a Pepsi semi sparsely supplied with toy donations. The Salvation Army rep reported that donations at this location were down over last year but that donations were up at the eight Sam's Club's locations. While she was trying to put a positive face on the situation, she reported that "in-kind" donations, i.e., socks, shoes, jackets, food, etc. are DOWN this year and that the requests by families has increased by 10% over last year. The rep was encouraged that giving is up a bit at the Red Kettles over last year, when the Denver Salvation Army experienced a 48% drop in donations and 33% nationally. Tonight KUSA 9News Denver reported that Toys for Tots is SHORT 60,000 toys in the Denver area alone! A few minutes later, CBS Denver reported that the Boys & Girls Club Toy Drive is also drastically short of donations. And, this doesn't even speak to the clothing and food shortages/requests of Santa!
Then, I traveled just a few blocks from downtown Denver, to the blocks around the Denver Rescue Mission & Samaritan House, where I saw over 1000 men, women, and children roaming the streets, looking for a place to sit, lay down, go to the bathroom, etc., with police lurking near by, arresting them for what should be basic human rights. I happened upon a group of volunteers from Evangelist Temple Church, feeding over 400 hungry people on a street corner, also under the watchful eye of the police. Pastor Betty Patterson told me that she's been feeding the hungry on this same corner for 23 years, whether in a blizzard, or a nice day as I happened upon. Pastor Patterson further stated that the needs are increasing daily, she's seeing many more children, seniors, and victims of foreclosures, that she has five volunteer cooks that are ready to go full-time in preparing meals and that her parish is seeking a nearby indoor facility to be able to prepare and serve the meals in warmth and comfort for the recipients.
Of course, toys and age appropriate gifts are always great and appreciated but, kids are requesting BASIC needs the past two years which are NOT being met! If you could donate any of the following top 4 Santa requests, kids and parents alike would be grateful! (And, the kids could feel like other kids at school that don't have to wear socks/shoes/underwear with holes in them!)
1. socks (if they need socks, they need underwear! They're just too embarrassed to ask.)
2. shoes/boots
3. jackets
4. food for families (please remember to donate Kosher foods)
Connect with children & Santa via the United States Post Office:

BeAnElf (great organization w/*excellent* resources): How To Be An Elf, and Other Great Ways To Be An Elf
Organizations you can donate to and/or find locations for:
Feeding America ($1=7 meals)
Salvation Army Rock the Red Kettle Drive
Marines Toys for Tots
Angel Tree
Things you can do:
Sign the Change.org petition, urging national news media to begin coverage immediately of the donations shortages across the nation.
• Donate $$ and/or buy extra socks, shoes, boots, underwear, food, toys, clean gently-used jackets, etc. and drop them by your local:
⁃ food pantry
⁃ homeless shelter
⁃ organization(s) working with impoverished families
⁃ school(s)
⁃ collection box
⁃ Social Services office (contact to ask)
⁃ Health & Human Services office (contact to ask)
⁃ Big Brother/Big Sister
⁃ Boys & Girls Clubs
⁃ Scouts organizations
• Adopt a local family and provide their list of needs
• Organize a drive with your church, book, gardening, etc. club
• Call your local radio, TV, and news media and ask them to cover the donations shortages
• Write letters to the editor(s) of your local paper(s)
• Convince local musicians to hold drives at their concerts like The Supreme Action League did at their album release party where they raised $65, two cans of soup and a new game, this past Saturday night. Every little bit helps. (SAL sings our #OccupyNorthPole theme song; It's Up To Us.)
• Put your extra change in each Red Kettle you see
• Get involved in social media; Tweet & post to celebrities, news media, banks, corporations, etc.
• Participate in the <National Days of Action>: (I'll post this in just a bit!)
• Sign/send on the <Change.org petition> re: (I'll post this here in just a bit!)
Thanks for anything you can do to help our children and their struggling parents.
Friday I head back to Denver to document the distribution of gifts by the Christmas Toy Distribution by the United Way Denver Inner City Parish and visiting several food pantries and Santas over the next two days.

NASHVILLE - Ole Miss senior forward Murphy Holloway has basically been a 50 percent free-throw shooter his entire career.
So he knew exactly what to expect when he toed the line for the two foul shots with 8.6 seconds left in Sunday's SEC tournament final against Florida that could clinch the Rebels' first league tournament title since 1981 and first NCAA Tournament berth since 2002.
"I was like, 'Man, just make one just in case they hit a 3 and we can go to overtime'," said Holloway, who made the first of the two free throws.
No overtime was required.
After two missed Florida free throws -- the second intentionally -- Gators' guard Kenny Boynton's game-tying 3 bounced off the front rim with two seconds left to preserve a 66-63 Ole Miss victory.
It was the third straight comeback win in as many days for the Rebels (26-8), who took themselves off the NCAA tourney bubble by getting the automatic bid for winning the tournament.
Ole Miss battled back from a 12-point halftime deficit to beat the Gators. The Rebels beat Vanderbilt in the semis on Saturday after trailing by nine and they won on a last-second shot over Missouri in Friday's quarterfinals, digging out of a 10-point hole with nine minutes left.
In fact, Ole Miss led for a collective 3:12 in the first halves in the entire tournament. And it still won it all despite losing starting point guard Jarvis Williams the last two games after he suffered a concussion against Missouri.
The collective effort of Holloway and Reginald Buckner controlling the inside, tournament MVP Marshall Henderson (who scored 21 points) nailing big 3s and Snoop White stepping in at the point ensured that the Rebels would be a participant in the NCAA Tournament.
"The Marshall Henderson Show is like a traveling circus," said Ole Miss's Andy Kennedy, finally in the tournament in his seventh year as Rebs' head coach. "It's up and down. We got a high-wire high act over here, the ponies here, all kinds of nonsense going on. But the dirty work, the grind, is being done by the seniors (Holloway and Buckner)."

Certified Scrum Product Owner

Course Description
Certified Scrum Product Owner Training teaches you, the product owner, how to use the product backlog as a tool for success. As you watch the product take shape, iteration after iteration, you can restructure the Product Backlog to incorporate your insights or respond to changes in business conditions. You can also identify and cancel unsuccessful projects early, often within the first several months. The Certified Scrum Product Owner; course equips you with what you need to achieve success with Scrum.
Intuitive and lightweight, the Scrum process delivers completed increments of the product at rapid, regular intervals, usually from every two weeks to a month. Rather than the traditional system of turning a project over to a project manager while you then wait and hope for the best, Scrum offers an effective alternative, made even more attractive when considering the statistics of traditional product approaches in which over 50% of all projects fail and those that succeed deliver products in which 64% of the functionality is rarely or never used.
Let us help you avoid becoming one of these statistics.
Following successful completion of the course, each participant will be designated a Certified Scrum Product Owner. This certification includes a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional member-only material and information are available.
PMPs: This course counts for 15 Professional Development Units (PDUs).

If you think about it though, for two and a half quarters, Mentor dictated the game and led by eight. The N.R. kid hit a three and it just seemed after that, Mentor was looking to hang on. I was surprised that they weren't able to stop the N.R. run and pull out the win. I have seen the Cards play a number of games over the years and I can't ever question Coach K's decision. The guy does an outstanding job, year in and year out.
I was really disappointed in them losing because I felt that Mentor's best chance to get to Cbus was there for the taking as they had played WGH real tough at Harding earlier in the year and that they could beat the Raiders.

text: Bulldogs drop fifth straight By Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch For the fourth time in five games this season the Douglas Bulldogs have allowed an opposing team to get their first win of the season against them. The Bulldogs fell to 0-5 on the season after Desert View picked up its first win of the season this past Friday night beating Douglas 40-21 on the Jaguars homecoming night in Tucson. The first half was impressive as the two teams traded scores. Desert View struck first taking the opening drive of the game and scoring on a six yard reverse taking a quick 7-0 lead. Grant Watkins returned to the field for Douglas Friday night but was only used on offense in a very limited role. The second play of the first series for Douglas Watkins broke free for a 53-yard TD run. The touchdown was called back however by a holding penalty. Minutes later Dylan Guerrero scored on a four yard run. Blaze Rose's extra point kick tied the game at 7-7. A Bulldog fumble in the second quarter eventually led to points for the Jaguars who scored from eight yards out taking a 14-7 lead. Douglas took the ensuing drive and was within the Jags five. Watkins found a hole and was on the verge of scoring when he lost the ball. Fernando Rojas was there for the recovery and Rose's extra point kick knotted the score at 14. The Bulldogs attempted a surprise onside kick which they recovered and converted into points when Watkins did score finally this time from five-yards out. Rose's extra point gave Douglas a 21-14 lead at the half. In the third quarter the Jags scored twice, the first on a three yard TD run; the second on a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown as Desert View regained the lead 27-21. Two fourth quarter scores gave Desert View its 40 points, a season high total and helped them snap a 14 game skid dating back to last year when they finished 0-10. The Bulldogs finished with 267 yards in total offense with 171 coming on the ground and 96 through the air. Rose was eight of 22 in passing with two interceptions and no touchdowns. Mark Romero had two receptions for 16 yards, Matt Nelson five for 50 and Ozzie Moreno one for 30. Rose finished with 13 carries for 76 yards; Watkins 10 for 60 and a score and Guerrero 11 for 35 and a TD. The Bulldogs, stymied by injuries, suited up just 24 players for the game. Douglas is back on the road this Friday night taking on a Palo Verde squad that is coming off a 50-0 loss to Nogales last Friday night. Freshmen The Douglas freshmen tied Desert View's freshmen 12-12 last Thursday night in Tucson. DHS freshmen assistant coach Rikki Valdez reported the defense played stellar most of the night making just one costly mistake. On a third and 15 the defense was able to force the Desert View quarterback out of bounds only to have a defender hit him late creating a personal foul and extending Desert View's drive and allowing them to score the first touchdown of the game. Douglas' offense then took over moving the ball at will and scoring just before halftime tying the game at 6. In the second half the defense was able to stop Desert View and allow the offense to continue its dominance. Marching down the field Douglas scored its second touchdown to take the lead 12-6. Both defenses then took over and were able to contain the offenses. With four minutes left in the game and Douglas still leading 12-6 Douglas was forced to punt the ball from its own 30 yard line. A bad snap forced the punter to just fall on the ball and prevent a Desert View touchdown. Desert View then had a second chance and was able to drive 30 yards and score to tie the game at 12. Both teams struggled with PAT's so Desert View lined up to go for two only to be stuffed by the Bulldogs' defense. Douglas had one minute left to march down the field and was able to get to the 20 yard line with no time outs left and only five seconds to play. Calling a play that scored them a touchdown earlier in the game QB Ernesto Loreto rolled out only to be sacked from behind by a Desert View defender to end the game. Since there is no overtime at the freshmen level the game ended in a 12-12 tie. Head Coach Daniel Ellsworth was very pleased with the progress that this team has made in the past two months. Douglas had 257 yards in total offense with 92 coming on the ground and 165 through the air. Loreto was nine of 18 in passing with two touchdowns. Jacob Ortega had six catches for 113 yards and a TD; German Galaz two catches for 27 yards and Alexis Medina one catch for 25 yards and a TD. Medina finished with 16 carries for 63 yards; Loreto four carries for 29 yards. The freshmen are at home against Palo Verde this Thursday night at 6 p.m. |

Minor injury in evening crash on Highway 116
Published: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 8:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 8:25 p.m.
A crash backed up traffic on Gravenstein Highway south of Sebastopol during rush hour Tuesday evening, but the injuries to the motorists turned out to be relatively minor.
Originally reported at 5:30 p.m. as a head-on collision between a Toyota Prius and Toyota Camry, the most serious injury ended up being a bloody nose for an occupant in one of the vehicles, said CHP Sgt. Jeff Abrams.
"It ended up being minor," he said.
The accident was on Highway 116 near Woodworth Road.

When he was a sophomore, Brock missed a free throw against Faith Christian that could have sent the Purple Devils to the Northeast Regional Tournament.
On Monday against second-ranked Collinsville in the Class 1A Northeast Regional semifinals in Jacksonville, that moment stared Brock in the face again – only this time he delivered, and then some.
Brock made two free throws with 12.8 seconds left to tie the game at 47 to force overtime. In the extra session, Brock connected on a bucket and ensuing foul shot with 27.2 seconds remaining, helping lift the No. 6 Purple Devils to a 54-49 victory.
"It's the biggest moment I've ever had," said Brock, who also admitted he was nervous with the game on the line.
The win sends Ragland (26-6) to the regional final against Skyline (23-7) on Friday at 2:15 p.m. Collinsville's season ends at 27-4.
"They're very athletic," Collinsville coach Jon Tidmore said. "They play hard. They've got a good scheme. They've won 26 games so far, so they're a really good team."
It's the second straight year Ragland has brought Collinsville's season to a close. The Purple Devils beat the Panthers 64-44 in last year's regional semifinal.
Adding to the Panthers' heartbreak was seeing two of their top players, senior guard Deshawn Moore and senior forward Davey Posey, collide with each other around the 2:40 mark in the second quarter.
Posey suffered a gash to the head, but returned to action almost immediately. Moore, on the other hand, suffered a cut to his bottom lip. He remained on the court for several minutes before being helped to the bench.
Moore re-entered the game with 5:25 left in the third quarter with a bandaged lip.
Before the injury, Moore had 12 points. He could only manage six more in the second half to finish with 18 points. Moore also had 14 rebounds, five blocked shots, three steals and two assists.
"That was probably big," Tidmore said. "There were some minutes we were without him, but it's a testament to his toughness, coming in and playing with that injury. It was a physical, rough game, but I thought we battled just about as hard as we could."
Following the game, Moore wasn't making any excuses for playing injured.
"It's a mental thing," Moore said. "I should have gone out there and played my normal game, but I didn't."
Things got started well enough for Collinsville. The Panthers led 12-8 at the end of the first quarter and 26-15 at halftime. Ragland cut its deficit down to four at 35-31 at the end of the third quarter and took its first lead of the second half with 2:15 left in regulation on a pair of Brock free throws.
Brock finished the game with 15 points, five rebounds and five steals.
The two teams battled down the stretch, with Brock forcing the extra period on another pair of free throws.
Speaking of free throws, the Panthers can only wonder what might have been. They missed nine of them in the fourth quarter, and finished 11-for-21 at the charity stripe for the game.
"I guess the most telling thing in the end was free throws," Tidmore said. "We had a chance to close the game out in regulation. Had we hit a couple of more free throws, we would have won. We put ourselves in a good position, but you've just got to give credit to them. When we gave them that opportunity, they took it."
Ragland outscored Collinsville 7-2 in the extra session, with Brock coming away with four of those seven points.
"It was a very good high school basketball game," Ragland coach Andy Eden said. "We got down at first. We didn't shoot the ball well in the first half, but we hung in there in the second half and didn't quit. This team's been like that all year. We've been down before, but we've pulled it out in the end. We made the plays we had to make."
Posey added 15 points, four rebounds and three steals for Collinsville. Daniel Bradford contributed nine points and four boards. David Hernandez finished with five points and also had four rebounds.
Kijana Lindsey matched Brock's 15 points. He also had 11 rebounds and three steals. Cody Jones tallied 13 points and six boards. Devane Brewster finished with five points, six rebounds, two steals, two assists and a blocked shot.
"I think Ragland gave good effort, but I think our guys were on the floor constantly," Tidmore said. "We battled every loose ball. We got after it as hard as we could. I think we did that for 31 games this season. I think that's why I appreciate this group of seniors so much. They were a pleasure to coach."

2dr Cpe Man 2.0T Turbo
Starting at $23,395 | Starting at 21 MPG City - 30 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
Completely redesigned for 2012, the Volkswagen Beetle is a two door subcompact hatchback with seating for four. The Beetle is available with two different engine options; a standard 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine (170 hp/177 lb-ft of torque) and an optional turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine (200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque). Transmission options consist of a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, and 6-speed DSG� automatic. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 21 mpg city to 31 mpg highway, depending on engine and transmission selection. Features include bi-xenon, 19-inch alloy heritage wheels, push-button start, sport steering wheel, ambient lighting, sport suspension, touchscreen navigation, premium audio, and hands-free phone capabilities. Safety is comprised of four airbags with integrated side curtain protection, anti-lock braking, intelligent crash response, and electronic stability control. The Beetle is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.
With a new, more aggressive design, more spacious interior, plus a pair of tried and true powerplants, the 2012 Volkswagen offers a fresh new alternative for buyers shopping around for a cool compact. Against the likes of the MINI Cooper and Fiat 500, the Beetle holds its own, with a base price just under the MINI, and more practical usability than that of the diminutive FIAT's.
The popular Volkswagen Beetle is completely redesigned for 2012. Most noticeable is the exterior restyle, which incorporates a lower, flatter roofline and more steeply raked windshield. The look is more reminiscent of the very first Beetle of 1938. The car is four inches wider and six inches longer than its predecessor. Also different is the name: the 'New' has been dropped from this Beetle's moniker. Inside is a wealth of metal-look plastic and chrome, and the dashboard is much narrower than before, which means an increase in interior cabin space. The charming bud vase is no longer present.
Volkswagen went way back to the drawing board with its reimagining of the 2012 Beetle. The new Beetle--which is not to be called a 'New Beetle'--draws its inspiration from the original car of 1938, but with a lower, flatter roofline. This gives the car a more aggressive stance. Overall dimensions have grown, which translates to more interior room for passengers. Those passengers get a combination of retro simplicity in the gauge layout, elegance in the quality of cabin materials and high-tech in the available gizmos and gadgets.

SIMPACK has an extensive range of products for simulating and analyzing mechanical and mechatronic systems.
SIMPACK is a multi-body simulation software (MBS). SIMPACK Kinematics & Dynamics is the base module of the SIMPACK software, made up of the pre-processor, post-processor and, most importantly, SIMPACK's renowned solvers. All other modules and interfaces can be added on to SIMPACK's Kinematics & Dynamics. All SIMPACK products are 100% compatible.
The basic concept of SIMPACK is to first create a CAD style MBS model for a mechanical or mechatronic system. The static and dynamic behaviour of the system can then be automatically solved by SIMPACK. With the SIMPACK post-processor the system's motion and forces (external and internal) can be animated and plotted.

Penny Marshall, most famous as the Pepsi- and milk-swigging half of "Laverne & Shirley," reveals in her new memoir, "My Mother Was Nuts," that her life off-camera has been just as crazy as anything that viewers saw on the screen.
Marshall's book reads like a Who's Who of pop culture's major players in the last half of the 20th century. There are stories of Calvin Klein tearing up the dance floor at high school parties and of Marshall hanging out with John Belushi and smelling pillows for Steven Spielberg.
CNN recently sat down with the actress-director as she opened up about her incredible life:
On her unconventional appeal
In her pre-fame days, Marshall quickly learned she didn't fit the Hollywood stereotype when she co-starred in a Head & Shoulders shampoo commercial with a then-unknown blonde named Farrah Fawcett. Marshall's on-set stand-in wore a placard that read "Homely Girl," while the stand-in for Fawcett had one reading "Pretty Girl." Fawcett kindly decided to cross out the word "Homely" and wrote "Plain" instead. In an episode of "Love, American Style," Marshall was cast as the "Homely Girl at Bar."
After becoming a big TV star with her own series, she handled her fame with aplomb, though once at a party she and "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman's" Louise Lasser cordially congratulated one another on their success, then slipped into a nearby bathroom, giddily jumping up and down and squealing, "We're famous! We're famous!"
On her marriage to Rob Reiner
Before either one of them was well-known, Marshall ended up dating and marrying Rob Reiner, who grew up across the street from Marshall in the Bronx, though the pair had never met. "It was a very wide street," Marshall explained. At one point, both auditioned for a new sitcom, but while Reiner was cast as Mike Stivic, Sally Struthers ended up playing his wife, Gloria, on "All in the Family."
On the ups and downs of 'Laverne & Shirley'
The actress' brother, director Garry Marshall, was a successful TV writer and producer when Jack Klugman convinced him to cast his sister as Oscar's secretary, Myrna, in "The Odd Couple." Later her brother ended up casting his sibling and her old pal Cindy Williams in a guest stint on another hit series, "Happy Days." The two played Laverne and Shirley, "fast girls" Fonzie recruited for a double date with Richie Cunningham.

On page 26 of the DMG, it describes a passive insight check and gives an example of using it in a social encounter. Could you help me with it and how to use it? Step by step would be appreciated
The passive insight check is not something that is rolled or actively used. It is more like armor class or a reflex defense, a number which the opponent must beat to successfully deceive the character. As such, there is no retrying, just as there is no retrying an armor class or reflex defense. It is, from a gameplay perspective, a tool to speed up the game and reduce randomness. It's basically the assumption that a character takes 10 on their insight checks on these situations. Beyond that, it assists the DM because calling for insight checks is a sure way to make the PCs realize something is up. It's the same deal with passive perception, except that's used to stealth rather than deception. |
From a GMs perspective: Passive insight is the DC for any subterfuge (bluff & intimidate) checks made against the PC. It is the PC's defense against social attacks. Much the way AC is the defense against weapon attacks. If your NPC is trying to lie to a PC, you roll a Bluff of your NPC against the PC's passive insight. If your bluff does not exceed the PC's insight, you should hint to the PC that something the NPC just said does not sound right. |
Generally I would have the players passive insights in front of me and if one of them would automatically be able to tell if somebody was acting oddly or lying, then I would give those players a little extra information. For example, the basic description: "As you approach, a figure comes up to the bars of the cage and pleads with you to let him free. The figure is a female elf, dressed in tattered rags, and seems to have been beaten." If a player had a very high passive insight, I might tell that player the additional: "The way in which the figure moves appears unnatural, as if the elf is not comfortable with its body" I wouldn't have somebody "use" their passive insight. It's more a tool for me to determine how much information to give out without the character making an active check. |
You've missed a key element in a "passive insight" check — they aren't rolled. You compare the character's Passive Insight score to the difficulty of the check, and determine whether they succeed or not based on that. Applying a penalty wouldn't have any effect at all; future "checks" would still fail, only by a greater amount. Now, you could apply a small bonus if you chose, reflecting greater exposure to the stimulus. But, at that point, you'd be better off rolling. |
One of the game design goal of things like passive insight (and passive perception) is to allow the DM to adjudicate scenarios where knowledge of the insight (or perception) test would grant the players knowledge that their characters should not. Imagine a scenario where the characters are approached by an NPC with a story of woe, that in actual fact is a fabrication to try and lure the characters into a trap. The NPC needs to make a bluff check, but if, as the DM you call for an insight check to oppose the bluff role, you tip your hand to the players that there is something for their characters to discern. Enter the passive insight score.
As other answers have noted, in order to make this flow most naturally, as the DM you'll want to know the passive insight of your players in advance, and thus avoid having to break out of role play to ask for their characters' stats. |

Sports Update
Home, Sweet Home: Eagles roll past Naaman for first home win
BY Matt Welch,
Published: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 11:10 PM CST
After falling short in its first three home games of the season, the fourth time was the charm for the Allen boys basketball team on Tuesday.
The Eagles overcame a slow start and exploded midway through the second quarter to pace a 61-47 victory over Garland Naaman Forest in front of a jam-packed crowd for their first home win of the season.
"It was good for the kids to get this win," said Jeff McCullough, Allen head coach. "... It was a good win to generate some enthusiasm with our student body and our crowd. They're a great asset for us by creating a little emotion and a different vibe than what we've had here in the past."
After being victimized by four Naaman 3-pointers in the first quarter for a 19-16 Rangers lead, the Eagles surrendered just seven points in the second stanza. Offense came a bit easier thanks in part to forcing nine Naaman turnovers.
"Defensively, we quit taking chances and just played solid," McCullough said. "In the first quarter, guys were taking themselves out of plays and going for steals that weren't there, and that made for some easy buckets for [Naaman]."
The Eagles closed out the first half on a 19-3 run, limiting the Rangers to one field goal over the final six minutes of the second quarter. Allen also bagged five steals in the first half, including three from junior Myron Fisher who added all 13 of his points in the opening half as well.
"All year long, Myron has been our most consistent player," McCullough said. "He's our glue guy and he makes us go. I'm real proud of him and he knows exactly what we're trying to do."
Fisher was one of multiple Eagles to create a steal at midcourt and enjoy an uncontested open-floor layup at the other end, with senior Cameron Epps capping the half by converting a takeaway into a bucket with three seconds left for a 37-26 halftime lead.
"We did what we were supposed to do on defense and that resulted in some easy looks for us on offense," McCullough said. "We also quit forcing shots, slowed down and were more patient with the basketball."
Allen carried the momentum over into the second half, albeit with Naaman offering a stiffer test with its perimeter defense. But despite forcing seven Allen turnovers in the third quarter, the Rangers were never able to close the gap to more than six points at 49-43 late in the frame.
Sophomore Olin Carter put the kibosh on any Ranger rally, draining a 3 with 30 seconds left in the third for a 52-43 advantage. While Naaman's perimeter defense tightened up, it wasn't enough to permit Carter and Epps from having their way inside with the former leading Allen with 15 points and the latter chipping in nine.
The Rangers were paced by Jonathon Basco, who provided 21 points and six rebounds while Donyta Carter scored 12. Naaman was unable to keep up its torrid pace from the opening quarter, only mustering four points in the fourth quarter while the length of Allen juniors Jamuni McNease, Shaun Breland and Nic Castrillon flustered any easy looks inside.
The end result was Allen's first home win of the season, with the team looking to build off the victory at 7:30 p.m. tonight against Southeast Oklahoma in the first round of its home tournament, the Allen Classic.
"We've played our tails off for weeks now," McCullough said. "It's tough to play that hard and not get a win so it was nice to get one tonight and gain a little momentum moving forward for our tournament."

I've been wanting to write a book for a while now, but I still can't come up with any good ideas. Anybody care to share? Please be a bit specific in any descriptions.
why not write about ninjas and stuff like that? i mean you must really love ninjas (i'm basing it on your avatar and username... hehe lol correct me if i'm wrong)... and one of the things important in writing a book is that you must like (or at least you're interested) what you're writing about and of course you must be knowledgeable enough about them... that'd make writing a lot easier... so yeah i think ninjas would be good for you... ^_^~Crescent"...beneath the truth lies a lie and behind lies hides the truth..."
Thank you both for the input. Of course, to make the most amount of money, why not write a book about something that's popular. And of course, writing about what you love is always a must. I may just combine the two and make a bestseller! Who knows? "I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but at least I ain't a spoon!"
Right now vampires are very "in" so you can always reinvent the vampire again. I am working on a vampire story right now that is about fifty pages long so i'm not far and i have one about elkves that's like 80 pages long. i hope to finish both of them by the end of the year and try to get published. Draw on things you like. i watch a lot of anime and sci fi and read about almost everyhijng, get a little bit of an idea and change it around to make it your own. "Someone once told me you can't put a price on human life, although when push comes to shove the price suddenly becomes negotiable"
Why don't you combine them together....what I mean is write a story about a ninja that is also a vampire... I don't think that there has ever been a story like that. I bet it would be very popular too.Good luck to you. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate" http://view.playlist.com/13500951819
while you're at it why not add a little of wolves and stuff like that... lol... variation is good but way too much characters will make the story too complicated and a mumbo jumbo for readers though it'll still depend on how you weave the story anyway... well those are the most popular these days anyway, ninjas, vampires and similar beings... i think you'll do great with them...~Crescent"...beneath the truth lies a lie and behind lies hides the truth..."
but like you said Crescent, it's important to not have too many different things going on in a book...it will only confuse the readers. But maybe the Vampire Ninja could have a Wolf partner, like a spirit guide of sorts, that would help him/her detect the enemies that they're hunting down. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate" http://view.playlist.com/13500951819
but I don't want to take away the suggestion from you...I never really though of writing a story let alone a book O-obut who knows what the future may bring... I'd just need to find someone to do the art for it since I can't draw all that well, especially anything manga related. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate" http://view.playlist.com/13500951819
I could do the illustrations...but unfortunately, I can't seem to do any "original" work. I guess you could say that I'm a human copy machine! "I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but at least I ain't a spoon!"

We have to draw a pic of our room ( real or imaginary) and then use the picture to describe it in Japanese to the Sensei-- who wh will then ask us up to 5 questions in Japanese-- GAH! The worst part is we can't use notes.. O-O;;;;;haha... I think I can pull it off though and it's only 6% of the total final grade anyway...

It's been really hectic around here. My finals even got postponed until the beginning of next semester due to the amout of snow days we had "I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but at least I ain't a spoon!"

Court Rules Police May Be Liable for Injuries Caused by Less-Than-Lethal Weapons
LOS ANGELES –Occupy protesters point out an overlooked July 11, 2012 ruling that may benefit those injured by Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) at July's Downtown LA Artwalk.
As reported in the LA Times, federal appeal court decided— two weeks ago Wednesday, the day before the so-called Chalk Walk Melee – police officers may be held liable for injuries caused by pepper balls, and other less-than-lethal weapons, intended to disperse a crowd.
From the LA Times article:
The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals was a setback for police agencies defending themselves against lawsuits arising out of the Occupy movement. Students from UC Davis have sued police for dousing them with pepper spray, and UC Berkeley students have sued campus police for using batons during a protest. Oakland also has been sued by Occupy protesters.
Chalk activists, also known as chalktivists, say that the LAPD injured at least half a dozen young men, mostly minorities, when they allegedly shot indiscriminately into a crowd of peaceful people gathered at the monthly art event.
Occupy Activists say the LAPD pushed one man off the sidewalk, another officers shot him at close range, then that same officer kicked the man's skateboard into his face as he lay on the ground, two other officers smashed the man's face into the pavement, and then they violently arrested him.
Participants of Chalk Walk also say the LAPD shot one young man with "foam bullets" at least four times in the torso and officers shot other young men in the face with other projectiles. There are unconfirmed reports of the LAPD using tasers and tear gas as well. Others report the LAPD violently attacked them that night.
Writing for the court, Judge Stephen Reinhardt said police used excessive force. "A reasonable officer would have known that firing projectiles, including pepper balls, in the direction of individuals suspected of, at most, minor crimes, who posed no threat to the officers or others, and who engaged in only passive resistance, was unreasonable," he wrote.
Chalk Walkers say the LAPD started the violence early in the evening around 7:15pm, right after the first arrest for chalking vandalism.
Occupiers report police started using their batons to push the group into each other, into a bolted-down garbage can, a cement planter box, parked cars, and into the street even though participants asked the officers to go to the opposite end of the group to get others to move further south on the sidewalk, so they could safely walk down the sidewalk and out of the way.
"I specifically asked not to be pushed into the street since the LAPD had arrested other occupiers at previous Art Walks for being in the street," said another Occupier, "But the officer pushed me anyways and once in the street another officer threatened me with arrest for being in the street."
Protesters say the police laughed when the Occupiers complained about the officers pushing them into the street.
Those present that night said the LAPD used excessive show and use of force throughout the entire evening. They report the LAPD had dispatched about 40 officers, 12 bikes, 5 patrol cars, and 3 motorcycles to shut down Spring Street just south of 5th Street for the first 2 arrests that happened 30 minutes apart.
After that, Occupiers report the LAPD would run in snatch a chalker without warning until about 9pm when some occupiers decided to leave Art Walk to attend a fundraiser for the twelve chalking arrests which occurred prior to Art Walk.
Occupiers maintain that the LAPD gave none of the first 8 arrestees warnings before arresting them on chalk vandalism and they say all of those arrests happened before 9:40pm. Yet, unconfirmed reports say LAPD called in officers from the Olympic Division as early as 8:40pm nearly an hour before anyone but police gathered in the street or before any alleged bottles were thrown.
While some Occupiers played hopscotch with some children, attendees report that the LAPD started pushing people off the sidewalks and into the streets at the intersection of 5th and Spring Streets around 9:30pm where a crowd gathered to look at police in riot gear that had amassed for no apparent reason.
"The LAPD escalated the violence all night long," says another activist, "All Occupiers remained peaceful throughout the entire night and tried to deescalate the crowd after they witnessed police brutality."
Witnesses say around 9:38pm, the LAPD officers wrested a small female – who had just drawn a smiling stick figure on cement— to the ground, slamming her face into the pavement and then the LAPD body slammed her brother to ground.
"The police didn't even warn that girl before tackling her to the ground," said another activist, "People don't like to witness that kind of injustice firsthand and some people responded with a lot of emotion."
Occupiers say none of them threw any objects towards the police.
"We have chalk, they have guns," states an Occupier, "Who are the violent ones?"
According to the LA Times, Police officers generally cannot be held liable for damages in a civil lawsuit. They lose immunity if it can be shown that their actions violated a "clearly established" constitutional right.
Occupy Activists say the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has already ruled in the favor of chalk as a form of constitutionally protected Freedom of Expression and stated "No reasonable person can think chalk could damage a sidewalk" in MacKinney v. Nielsen 1995.
"We were exercising and enjoying our Freedom of Speech and Assembly," said yet another activist, "We made it clear to officers these actions were all about our Constitutional Rights."
A Youtube Video shows the group using the "human mic" – a call-and-response way of communicating that amplifies a message so it can be heard by all near the group – to read California Civil Code 52.1 to at least ten LAPD officers, including Captain Frank who took the lead that night.
Activists say the City of Orlando has already spent $200,000 defending the arrests of an Occupier for chalking. A Federal court ruled the City of Orlando cannot make any further chalking arrests.
The Occupy activists in LA say they would like to help those injured and arrested by LAPD doing during Chalk Walk.

Dunkin' Brands Takes Stand Against Obamacare
The Canton-based company is lobbying the White House to changes its definition of full-time work from 30 hours a week to 40 or more per week, according to reports.
Canton-based Dunkin' Brands has joined the fight against Obamacare. The coffee and baked goods company is working to overturn a major provision of Obamacare, according to a Newsmax.com report this week. Specifically, Dunkin' is lobbying the White House to change its definition of full-time work from at least 30 hours a week to 40 or more per week, CEO Nigel Travis told the Financial Times, according to The Huffington Post. The change would leave Dunkin', as well as other companies, with fewer workers to insure under the health care reform law, which requires large employers to provide health coverage to all full-time workers and their dependents. Those companies who fail to provide coverage could face a penalty of $2,000 per worker. The …

Texas Revolution name Billy Back as first head coach
BY Matt Welch, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Texas Revolution have named Billy Back as the IFL team's inaugural head coach.
Back takes the reins of the Revolution following a trio of consecutive championship seasons with the Cincinnati Commandos in the Continental Indoor Football League and the United Indoor Football League.
During his tenure at Cincinnati, Back amassed a 35-3 overall record including an unblemished 6-0 mark in the postseason, while also coaching a pair of league MVPs, two Offensive Players of the Year, a co-Defensive Player of the Year and was named co-Coach of the Year in 2010.
"I'm honored to be chosen as the first head coach for the Revolution," Back said. "From the moment the team made contact with me I knew that this was going to be a great organization to work with. I immediately started building what I believe is a championship team, and I am very excited to start working towards my fourth straight championship."
Joining Back's staff will be defensive coordinator Brian Wells, who served as an assistant under Back in Cincinnati. The Commandos boasted the league's top defense in each season under Wells.

The Prop B "Compromise"
Posted in Advocacy, In the News, Legislation | No Comments »Yesterday, Governor Nixon proudly announced that a slew of Missouri agricultural and animal groups had reached a "compromise" on Proposition B, the hotly contested measure to restrict large-scale dog breeding operations that was passed by voters last November and recently flattened by the passage of a controversial bill in the Missouri House and Senate.
Over the past week, my administration has been working closely with folks on every side of this issue to reach an agreement that respects the will of the voters, protects dogs and allows responsible breeders to earn a living in our state. People with good minds and good will have come together to develop a Missouri solution to this Missouri issue, and together, we have made significant progress. Throughout this process, I have met personally with representatives of Missouri's major animal-welfare and agricultural organizations, and with leaders on this issue in both the House and the Senate. The agreement that was signed today upholds the intent of the voters, protects dogs and ensures that Missouri agriculture will continue to grow. I look forward to continuing to work with these leaders as we move this proposal through the legislative process as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
Coincidentally, this announcement came on the same day that SB 113 landed on the Governor's desk for final approval or otherwise. Quick flashback to the timeless lessons of Schoolhouse Rock: the governor has 14 days remaining to veto the bill, sign it or let it go into effect without his signature. Any superseding legislation also has to pass through the Senate and House within this time frame.
The new agreement does restore a lot of the basic standards of care for dogs in "breeding facilities" and includes an additional $1.1 million in enforcement funding – which isn't small potatoes. Gone, though is the 50 dog limit (regardless of care-giver to dog ratio) and the updgraded felony charge for breeders who violate the new law – which will remain a misdemeanor under the new "solution."
Also gone from the original language of Prop B: lots of specifics. For example, in the original bill, "Adequate rest between breeding cycles" was defined as such:
…at minimum, ensuring that dogs are not bred to produce more than two litters in any eighteen-month period.
The new agreement defines it this way:
…at minimum, ensuring that female dogs are not bred to produce more litters in any given period than what is recommended by a licensed veterinarian as appropriate for the species, age and health of the dog.
Or in other words:
…as often as I can get my lowest common denominator vet to say is OK.
Here's my favorite change in the new solution though:
"Sufficient food and clean water" means…continuous access to potable water that is not frozen and is free of debris, feces, algae and other contaminants.
"Sufficient food and clean water" means…continuous access to potable water that is not frozen and is generally free of debris, feces, algae and other contaminants.
Isn't that just the most perfect example of half-a$$ed lip service you've ever seen?
I really hate to sound unreasonable. Certainly, I understand that this new proposal is better than SB 113, but the fact remains that Proposition B was approved by Missouri voters. The end. We shouldn't be asked to compromise on an issue that has already been settled.
I understand that Governor Nixon desperately wants to stay out of this fight (given that he's up for re-election next year) but in the absence of his willingness to honor the democratic process with an outright veto of SB 113, I have to hope that the same rural legislators who insisted on ignoring voters in favor of generous agricultural interests the first time around will dig in their heels on the compromise as well – forcing him to actually take a side.
I can't imagine Nixon would favor the minority in light of all the national attention this issue has generated, but even if he did, that leaves the door open for voters to have the (final) final say at the ballot box next year. Something (like history!) tells me I know what they'd decide.

We have found great strollers (we prefer side by side but could go with stadium seating), however they don't each accommodate two car seats. We found theGraco Quattro stroller (stadium seatng), however the reviews say it is so large and I'm kinda wimpy So looking for ideas...the other strollers we think would work when the boys are a year or so is this correct? Should we wait or just end up buying another stroller after they get older? What did you do?

Wildlife officers punished for hunting while on duty
A pair of legally besieged Ohio Division of Wildlife officers were not only fired by the agency. They also won't have the opportunity to hunt, trap or fish for one year.
Former Wildlife Division supervisor David Warner and former agency wildlife officer Matthew Roberts plead no contest to charges they were hunting while on duty and then falsifying time sheets by writing they were working when they really were hunting.
Warner had been the field supervisor for the Wildlife Division's District Five (southwest Ohio) Office, a position he was fired from by the Wildlife Division on Sept. 21.
Roberts was the state wildlife officer assigned to Clinton County.
In each case, the separation was made after the Natural Resources Department determined the men had violated state policy governing conduct while on duty.
Originally, Roberts and Warner were each charged in July with theft in office, a fifth-degree felony, and tampering with records, a third-degree felony.
Warner was also indicted on charges of dereliction of duty, a second-degree misdemeanor.
The charges stem from the pair's activity of hunting while on duty, and for turning in bogus time slips that supposedly showed they were on duty when they were allegedly hunting with former state wildlife officer Allan Wright, who had been assigned to Brown County.
Appearing in Brown County Court of Common Pleas on Thursday, the two men saw the hammer of justice fall on their heads.
Warner received a 120-day suspended sentence, an one-year probation along with the loss of the opportunity to hunt, trap, or fish, for one year. Continued...
In Roberts' case, he received one year of court-ordered probation, a 30-day suspended jail time and like Warner, Roberts cannot hunt, trap or fish for one year.
Also, both men must pay restitution to the state for the time they falsified being on duty when they were hunting. However, this restitution applies only to the single day in which Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little wrote in the indictment.
For Warner, this restitution amounts to $708.73, and for Roberts his required obligation is $353.10, Little said.
"The (Ohio Department of Natural Resources) will have to seek restitution for the rest," Little said.
Little said also she is "satisfied" with the outcome, believing the punishment was "an appropriate resolution."
That being said, Little would like to see the Natural Resources Department conduct "follow up" investigations to help ensure no other similar situations are lurking in the legal shadows. In a related matter, Little will appear before the Ohio State Supreme Court on Tuesday to argue her case against five former and current Wildlife Division officials — often referred to as the "Brown County Five."
These past and present officials each face felony charges but insist they have legal protection against self-incrimination via a public sector firewall called the Garrity Rule.
