Every time, when people talk about fuel, energy and power, they think about crude oil. About that source, that has to be refined, burned and bought for a very high price. Just to mention the two most popular sorts, the White Texas Intermediate and the European Brent oil. We always talk about how less crude we have now and how important it is to find and use new energies. But what about natural gas?
Natural gas. Our number one power for households to heat and cook. It needs no refining, which is a very important factor. The use of compressed natural gas, also known as CNG, "produces no unburnt carbon soot, no sulphur, no brown cloud. Just carbon dioxide and water (food for trees)." A very environment-friendly solution, if you ask me. But why don't we use this source as much as crude oil? Isn't there enough?
Quite the contrary! Natural gas is found in great amounts. America, for instance, has got almost the same amount of natural gas, as Saudi Arabia. If Americans would use natural gas even for their vehicles, they could stop importing crude oil, because the demand would be satisfied, even if we know, that America has got enough crude for the next 137 years, but that's another topic.
Anyway, it would be a good try to see how CNG works with vehicles. Honda has been factoring a CNG based car since 1998. In addition, it plans to make CNG available for every American consumer. They also think about building own CNG Fuel Stations for homes. The company BRC FuelMaker already offers the possibility to install an own CNG station at home, for $4,500. Not a convenient solution, but who knows how everything will turn out in the next few years?

Hi, I am playing the mod retarded v 2.8.
Everything works great, except APCs. They can hold 2 squads of infantry instead of one, but whenever I put the second squad inside, the first one gets stuck inside. It becomes impossible to get him out. I use commands of APC, or left click the squad icon to get him out, but still no luck. What causes this? Any ideas?
Is there any way for me to work this around?
Thanks in advance, please reply

Planning and coding at KDE's aKademy 2007
Around 300 KDE developers met in Glasgow, Scotland, for this year's aKademy KDE conference.
The first two days of the KDE developer conference [1], aKademy 2007, focused on KDE 4. Many central components for the new major release, which is expected in the fall, have been rewritten from scratch. Thanks to KDE's Plasma Framework [2], which aims to integrate elements of the SuperKaramba widget manager with the standard KDE desktop, the KDE 4 desktop will have access to familiar SuperKaramba components.
KDE is also introducing various multimedia enhancements: the Arts sound server, which has often been criticized as unreliable and hard to integrate with application development, is now a thing of the past. Its successor is the new Phonon [3] audio/ video framework, which leaves audio playback to various back-ends, such as Xine or the Helix engine, and the Gstreamer framework. In addition to its ability to mix multiple audio tracks, Phonon also makes it easier to develop video playback applications.

In many corners the lilliputian mayor of New York, megalomaniacal Mike Bloomberg, is consdered a laughingstock. And the reason is things like this:
New York Plans to Ban Sale of Big Sizes of Sugary Drinks
It's true, he's a nasty condescending little fraction of a man who gets his jollies bossing people around. But the problem with NYC is not Mike Bloomberg, it's what comes after him. The one good thing about Bloomberg is that he has absolutely no interest in anyone's opinion but his own. And NYC politics usually involves nothing more than the sock puppet candidates of various powerful political factions dividing up the taxpayer funded pie. Bloomberg may be a jerk, but he's an honest jerk. And for NYC that's a big improvement over business as usual.
When Bloomberg ran for his third term, he did so in open defiance of the law imposing term limits on the mayor. Typical. "Laws are for the unwashed masses not me." says the traditional liberal mantra. But as bad as he is, he makes the cast of characters waiting in the wings on NYC's liberal left look like a sideshow of mental dysfunction. With the war on the finance industry coming from Washington, things are going to change in NY. And I suspect no one will remember or care about Mikey's stupid law about soft drinks.

-- at large of the national -- Jonah Goldberg he is also a Fox News contributor.
You probably saw the Washington Post that piece today that says Bob mr.
Obama plans to take any more combative approach.
On gun control and he's going to be going around the country.
Putting on sort of you know old town hall events kind of rallying the people to try to get this thing past you think it worked -- I'm pretty skeptical we saw in his inaugural also tried this too he said that he was is he -- the help of the people.
Serve he's backing community organizer Modi wants people to call in the congress.
Put pressure on congress.
Problem is is that he wanted to do this sort of thing a lot over his presidency and it's never worked.
I think the people in the White House -- live in a bubble about the president's own level persuasive power with the American people who do great job of getting out voters on Election Day.
But he gave over fifty speeches in 2009 about obamacare he never once move the needle public opinion on obamacare.
He never once persuaded people he's not a not nearly good salesman but people who already agree with them think he has.
Well we saw that especially in the early parts of his first term anytime he wanted to get some legislation pastor something he seemed to give a prime time speech.
But that didn't seem to have a great -- either.
Right I mean David Axelrod seem to have this sort of more -- bell was the answer to everything approach to Obama's speech making.
And the problem for Obama now is he's a lame duck and he's got to go to these states that have voter that voted for Romney in the election to have the public put pressure.
On their senator is -- to back him on an issue that they don't -- back my I just.
It's a very tall order and I kind of feel sorry for Joseph but I think he's sincere on all of this but he's out there with this dog of an issue politically he wants -- -- when he sixteen.
And he's stuck doing this while while Hillary Clinton is gonna -- co host are beyond sixty minutes with Barack Obama.
On this Sunday I'm sure he's pretty bitter about that.
So that's why we have the vice president giving people helpful advice like if you really want to protect yourself go by a shotgun that way he can sort of work both sides of the issue push for the gun control but still be a gun advocate.
-- -- it's -- really great advice because it well I think the shotgun is good it's also really good at killing innocent bystander next to the person breaking into your house.
You know the whole Biden -- a tough -- heat heat.
Knows that he can't be anti gun the problem is that this administration.
Has absolutely easy for good reasons or bad I mean that's not the issue this is an analytical matter has zero credibility.
With the that the gun rights community they they believe that Dianne Feinstein that I believe that -- -- Obama.
Want to take away guns they believe that their bones and this legislation.
Is -- it is so full polls and loopholes.
And -- -- group that wants the late on the predicate to make it easier down the road to check lists of gun owners to.
Sue people who didn't store -- guns to give people give the government the right to go into people's homes.
And -- is no trust that that that that's where the Democrats are gonna stop and so -- it is also has a down payment on a slippery -- these are the people these are the people who are in ninth 2000 aide to Senator Obama sought clinging to their guns and religion.
Enemies of the people he apparently thinks that he's going to move.
And persuade to be in favor of gun control states like West Virginia and Wyoming imagine it's not gonna happen -- and I'm -- there's -- presently -- an analytical political matter that this thing ever gets out of the senate.
And I think John Boehner loves the idea of just simply saying we will give serious consideration to what ever Harry Reid senate.
Passes and sends onto us on the matter of gun control.
Because it's -- terrible wedge issue for Democrats and I don't think Obama has the loyalty among Democrats but he thinks he does and Harry Reid himself has enjoyed the support of the NRA.
In the -- yeah.
-- and Harry Reid can't cross the NRA.
A lot of these guys can't -- it as much of -- -- the NRA as if it's the NRA that holds you know holding these guys ransom.
Their voters in a lot of these places.
The NRA actually does speak for them this is a popular in a position among actual voters in the in these in these essentially red states with with.
With blue senators all right Jonah Goldberg from the national review good analysis as always thank you.

The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans [1] are designed so people can easily fit physical activity into their daily plan and incorporate activities they enjoy.
These guidelines recommend that each week you do one of the following:
Make sure that you do at least 10 minutes of aerobic activity at a time.
In addition, incorporate muscle strengthening activities, such as weight training, push-ups, sit-ups, carrying heavy loads, or heavy gardening, at least two days a week.
Read about some specific recommendations for special conditions [2], such as women who are pregnant, adults with disabilities, and older adults or those with a chronic condition.
Exercise specialists, such as the American College of Sports Medicine, also recommend incorporating stretching and other exercises to increase flexibility and avoid injury, as well as exercises to improve balance and reduce risk of falls.
While exercise is undoubtedly beneficial, it is not true that the more exercise you do or the harder you work the body, the better the results. Too much or too arduous physical activity can lead to injury. It is essential to maintain a balance between working out the muscles without overdoing it.

The AdFarm crop was planted on Thursday, May 20.
Even better:
The acres received 2.4 inches of rain Saturday – Monday (much better than the 5+ inches less than 10 miles east)
Soil temp was about 62 degrees F at the time of planting, according to the state's Agricultural Weather Network, NDAWN
This warm, wet soil is exactly what corn needs for a great start. The National Weather Service also predicts high temps in the 70's this week.
The corn seed is Pioneer double stacked 39D97 with required 20% corn borer refuge (39D95). It was treated with Jumpstart and Torque, a product from EMD Bioscience, plus a fungicide. See photos of the smooth, level seed bed, which will help seeds germinate and, ultimately, impact crop yield at harvest time.
Meanwhile, the warm, wet soil and warm forecast points to optimism for the 2010 AdFarm N.D. crop. Stay tuned….
Your thoughts on our corn crop planting?

Gov. Jerry Brown said today that "humanity is getting dangerously close to the point of no return" on climate change, and he launched a website criticizing conservatives who dispute its significance.
The website "Climate Change: Just the Facts," is hosted by Brown's Office of Planning and Research. It devotes one page to "the denialists" and another to rebutting "common denialist arguments."
The Democratic governor, in Stateline, Nev., for the annual Tahoe Summit, has long been frustrated by conservative politicians who say the effect of global warming is overstated, or who argue government intervention to address climate change is a drag on the economy.
"Global warming's impact on Lake Tahoe is well documented. It is just one example of how, after decades of pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, humanity is getting dangerously close to the point of no return," Brown said in a prepared statement. "Those who still deny global warming's existence should wake up and honestly face the facts."
Brown signed legislation last year requiring California utilities to obtain one-third of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020, and his administration is seeking to promote projects that could create 20,000 new megawatts of renewable energy projects by that year.

Do you want to make a difference in a child's life? That is the first basic requirement needed for the Guardian ad Litem (GAL) Program here in Sampson County. Sampson/Duplin GAL Program supervisor Patrick Giddeons is looking for volunteers who can commit to the time needed to help give children who have no voice a voice in the courts system.
What is a Guardian ad Litem? According to Giddeons, a GAL is a trained volunteer who is appointed by the court to advocate for the best interests of an abused or neglected child, defined Giddeons. The GAL serves as an important voice for the child in court.
"We need volunteers from Sampson County desperately. Currently there are about 140 children under our jurisdiction in Sampson as compared to 40 in Duplin County. Yet of the total 46 volunteers that we now have, the majority are from Duplin County," asserted Giddeons.
The North Carolina General Assembly established the Office of Guardian ad Litem Services in 1983 as a division of the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts. When a petition alleging abuse or neglect of a juvenile is filed in district court, the judge appoints a volunteer GAL advocate and an attorney advocate to provide team representation to the child, who has full party status in trial and appellate proceedings. All GAL volunteers are trained, supervised and supported by program staff in each county of North Carolina.
The entire program is a collaborative effort involving the GAL attorney advocates, volunteers and staff. All North Carolina children who are alleged by the Department of Social Services to have been abused or neglected receive GAL legal advocacy services.
Giddeons explained that anyone with a clean criminal recor, and from all walks of life and a variety of professional, educational and ethnic backgrounds, can apply to be a volunteer. "There are no special education or experience required. We just need people with a true desire to help children to have a better life and make a difference in the child's life. They give us that, we will give them everything else they need to be a GAL," cited Giddeons.
Once a volunteer's application has been received, the individual will be screened by the program staff and a criminal record check will be completed. Following final acceptance into the program, each volunteer is required to complete 30 hours of training before being sworn in by a judge and appointed to advocate on behalf of a child. Additional continuing education training on advocacy issues will be provided in conjunction to providing services to the child(ren) assigned to the GAL.
"There is no set number of children or cases that can be assigned to a volunteer. But the volunteer is given a choice to work with cases that match best for the volunteer and in the best interest of the child. Also we take into account the amount of time a certain volunteer may have to give to the program. Ideally we would like to have volunteers that will commit at least one year or two to the program. Some cases will run at least that long and some extend even longer. The best scenario would be someone who will make a long-term commitment to serve," remarked Giddeons.
The GAL program supervisor stated that a volunteer could expect to spend about 6-8 hours a month working on each case until a child is placed in a permanent situation, however the length of time varies from each case. Many volunteers according to Giddeons work full-time, are students or retired. Most of the work can be done on the weekend, in the evening or on the telephone. However the volunteer will need to ensure their employer will grant permission to take off from work to allow the volunteer to appear in court which is about once every three to six months.
"The GAL's responsibilities include digging for details. This is were the volunteer has to leave their own personal beliefs and prejudices at the door and be ready to objectively and non-judgmentally observes and determine what is in the best possible interest of the child they have been assigned. They have to go beyond just looking at the onion; they have to peel off the layers and see what the facts are because the facts are all we deal with in each case. They must get to know the child and interview the parents, caretakers, social workers, teachers and other service providers. Time is also spent reading records related to the child and the family. As the child's advocate and voice, the GAL must report to the court and communicate with the GAL attorney advocate in order that decisions are made in the child's best interest. The process is ongoing," explained Giddeons. "I continue to be amazed at our volunteers who we ask so much because they keep giving even when it seems we have taken all they have to give," added the program supervisor.
Pam High has served as a sworn GAL in Sampson County. However due to a current obligation that would be a conflict of interest, she has stepped down as an advocate for a short while. High shared her feelings regarding being a GAL.
"Why did I want to be a GAL? I heard about the program from a friend and contacted Patrick to learn more about the program. I feel that someone needs to be a voice for these children without a voice to be heard and I felt that I could help meet that need. That is why I became involved," said High.
In responding to the question What did she get out of being a GAL, High stated that she received the satisfaction of knowing that she had helped a child as they were confronted with having to deal with the upsetting and unknown world of the court system.
"It is a real fulfilment to know you are helping a child that will have lasting affect on their lives. Volunteering is a worthwhile opportunity for anyone what would like to see a child's life made better. I encourage anyone to become involved. It is such a blessing for the child and for the volunteer as well," expressed. High.
The Guardian Ad Litem Program is now accepting applications for volunteer child advocates.
Currently, more than 140 children are involved in Sampson County court through no fault of their own. This training will teach future child advocate how to independently investigate the best interest of children and report to the court. The next training class will be held on Feb. 21, 28 and March 7 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Sampson Community College. Applications are available on the website at www.gal4kids.org. For more information, call Patrick Giddeons at 910-275-7102 or email email@example.com.

Rooms and nice and spacious. Filling colombian breakfast served on the terrace. Restaurants and all the zona rosa around parque lleras is close but far enough for it to be very quiet at night. Walking from the metro takes a bit of time and is uphill though.

Homerville, GA
I purchased several of these a while back and had them sent to the store in Valdosta, GA. I thought I was buying something that would connect one hose to another hose. When I got to the store, they only had the female connectors and I had to purchase the male side of the connections. The picture does show the female side of the connection, but it isn't clear from the information provided that you are getting only the female side (at least that is what happened to me at the Valdosta Store). As for the quality of the product, these connectors are outstanding in their performance. I have purchased more of the sets of male and female connectors at the store and am pleased with how they work and their durability. Just be sure you know what you are going to get when you place an order.

This thing is awesome. You can change hose ends without having to go go back and forth to the spigot. I love this thing.

Higher quality than the comparable items found at ********** and ****** and you can feel the difference when you pick them up, they are and feel like a better product. I installed these with teflon tape for a leak proof connection. The only reason I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars is that when I tightened the female portion on my water spigot on the house, the male counterpart was difficult to put on and take off. I found this to be because I had overtightened the female part and the nipple on the male part was hitting the faucet inside the female connector before the spring and ball connection could click. This was corrected by backing off the female connection on the faucet a bit and then it was fine. This can leak then if it is not a tight connection no matter how much teflon tape is used. This could however be a problem with the faucet itself not having ample threads for a good connection and not these connectors at all. Another option would be to grind down the male nipple portion so there is more room inside to make the connection and still have the female connector tight on the house faucet. Otherwise they are great for quickly changing items like a spray nozzle, sprinkler, concentrated sprayer, etc.

Made of brass so, it'll last forever. Makes changing hoses and accesories a breeze.

The traffic light is not due to be in-stalled for some weeks, but was ordered by the Board at its last meeting on recommendation of Chief of Police Peter Elar.

They claimed installation of a traf-fic light would be Injurious to busi-ness at that point where there are •number of stores. Mr. Murdock con-ducts a gasoline filling station there.

+ Interesting story
+ nice, non-linear and natural platforming
+ beautiful lighting
+ The black stone pillars looked very well.
+ Good use of the marvel pack stickers on the intro level.
+ Cleverly hidden point cache areas
- You have some very strong cameras in your level. This level would benefit more from looser camera strength.
- The collapsing rock in the beginning seems like a cheap kill. Theres no warning that it will fall.
- In one area theres a led light inside some dark matter showing.
- Some of the gas levels are high. I kept getting killed thinking a platform would catch me but the gas would hit me.
- At times it was hard to tell where to go next.
- The level badges were bland considering how detailed the levels were.
The level was pretty good but it would be way better if you fix those issues. I gave it 4 stars. Keep up the good work! Your time and effort shows you put your all into this. Ill play this again if you make any changes . Ill also be looking forward to your series. You should participate in the F4F program. Its a nice way to get feedback and plays as long as you fulfill your duty and give feedback back. You should also check out Aya's Garden of Goodies for some extra creation tools and also check out comphermc's Font Central for some nice looking letters.Last edited by L1GhTmArE; 08-20-2010 at 04:23 AM.

Thanks L1GhTmArE, helpful feedback. I made a late night fix. I improved upon the things you said. I softened the camera angles and such and runs smoother and has a better feel. I lowered the gas more (You wouldn't have liked the first version of the gas, it was twice as high as that). I also alerted the rock at beginning. Thanks again. It'd be appreciated if you played through again. Better experience this time.
08-20-2010 #5
Good work! It ran pretty smooth this time around and the gas was not a problem this time. You still have some strong cameras in there but they werent jerking as much. you got a heart from me this time

I thought this was great! Here are my thoughts:
- Beautiful Scenery
- Nice Design
- Good use of lights
- The pillars are very cool
- Idk why, but the end made me jump haha.
- The cameras are soooo violent with my screen... Meaning, I feel like my sight is being jerked around as I walk through your level. (From previous posts, I see you worked on it, but it was still a little harsh for me.)
- I was unclear on where to go on a couple of parts.
- I thought I was supposed to jump down in that hole in the beginning, but it was just death by gas.
Overall: Great level. Beautiful Scenery. (Prologue was cool.) andVisit my LBP.me Profile!

Good job man. I know how much time and work you put into this, and it greatly shows. Looking back at the first couple of versions of this level, I strongly believe you made the right choice in making it a trilogy and moving certain parts around. The story could be a little better in my opinion, but then again, its just nice to have a pretty solid story anyway. The prologue sticker work looks top notch. You really have out done yourself here. Congrats man, here's to the rest of the trilogy surpassing this solid level.

First Impressions
Upon first entering the level, you are greeted by a pleasant colour scheme and interesting use of levels and lights. A combination of this nice opening and prologue is very effective.
I liked...
- The artistic aspect of the level.
- The non-linear, multipath aspect of the level.
- You used traps well in unsuspecting locations - nice.
- Once again - the lights. Some people may call me obseced with light usage in levels, but what the hey!
I disliked...
- The lack of ease when climbing some platforms.
- Not much else, brush up on ease and you've got a five star level in the works!
I think you've done a really good job of this level. The ending was very interesting indeed, and left me eager for more!
LEVEL HEARTED: No, sorry it takes a lot.
AUTHOR HEARTED: It certainly left me wanting to see more of your work! Until that sequel comes out, that's a no.
TAGGED: Beautiful.
A great level, keep it up!

I rarely use anything except Pioneeer scrapbooks and albums. They are economical, available in a wide variety of colors, easily expandable and durable.

About Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher was born on May 29, 1967 and is famed for being the former principal songwriter for the British band Oasis. Noel is the older brother of Liam Gallagher, the former lead singer in Oasis.
'The Dreams We Have As Children' is a collection of songs recorded by Noel at the London Royal Albert Hall on March 27, 2007, along with fellow Oasis member Gem Archer. The album's title stems from a lyric in the Oasis song, "Fade Away". The album also features Paul Weller on "All You Need Is Love" and "The Butterfly Collector".
Five of the songs were released over the course of 5 days as free downloads on iTunes, followed by a physical CD give-away with The Sunday Times, which contained an additional 11 recordings from the performance. The album then went on sale digitally in its entirety the following day.
The album was compiled and released in order to raise the profile of Teenage Cancer Trust gigs being held at the Royal Albert Hall in March 2009.
After a high-profile bust-up with his brother, Liam, in Oasis. Noel quit the band to pursue solo interests. As of late-2009 he was optimistic of having an album out by the end of the next year. Also like his brother is now following a career in fashion and has also formed a new band, Beady Eye, with their debut album released on the 28th of February 2011.
For months, Noel remained silent on his plans for his post-Oasis. Finally, on the 6th of July 2011, Noel held a press conference to reveal plans for two new solo releases, with his new band Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Recorded in 2010 and 2011 and co-produced by David Sardy, album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' is set to drop on October 19th.

Comment posted Tonight: meeting in Oban on forming West of Scotland Watersports Hub by Mike Story.
A great turn out despite the thunderstorm. The fact that most people were dripping wet did'nt dampen the enthusiasm in the room.
I was glad I could lend support and signpost the way to become part of the Argyll and The Isles Tourism network.
A great cross section of businesses with the potential to combine and offer a wold class range of outdoor and marine activities.
Looking forwards to the next meeting
Mike Story also commented
- I cannot speak directly for the organisers of this great meeting, but as far as Argyll and The Isles Tourism are concerned and from the general feeling at the meeting, a hub and spoke approach where all Argyll and The Isles based watersports and Marine tourism providers would be interlinked and would work togther.
Done well, this could provide the largest and most varied range of aqua based products in Scotland, if not Europe.

Hello all! It is hard to believe, but winter break has already passed us by, and now it is time to go back to school! No one is ever anxious to go back to work or school after a long vacation, but I think being at a fine institution like Rockford College makes it all quite a bit easier. Unlike many other places, when you return from a long break at Rockford College, you are greeted with many affectionate smiles and just a warm, genuine overall atmosphere. I know this first-hand as a sophomore and a student worker. Today was my first day back from winter break, and everybody in the admission office was happy to stop by for a little conversation and ask me how my holidays went. It was almost as if I never left!
Next thing to do: buy your textbooks for your new classes. If you have not done so already, now is DEFINITELY the time to do so! With classes starting tomorrow, the clock is winding down!
Until next time…

Boys Basketball: Yacob's strong outing can't save Carroll vs. Neumann-Goretti
PHILADELPHIA — Yosef Yacob had a pretty good idea that Thursday night's Catholic League opener against reigning Class AAA champion Neumann-Goretti would require a change of plans from the usual.
The Archbishop Carroll All-Delco point guard is usually content to get a few baskets and spend the rest of the game facilitating things for his Patriot teammates. But Yacob knew that if Carroll was going to have any chance against the Saints, he'd have to be called upon to score — a lot.
Unfortunately for him, though, only half of that plan worked. Yacob dumped in a career-high 24 points and kept the Patriots around for most of the game, but a late corner 3-pointer from Lamarr Kimble sealed N-G's 70-59 win and dealt Carroll a tough hand in its PCL opener.
"I just wanted to be aggressive the whole game," said Yacob, a Chester resident. "They like to push you and make you scared, but you've just got to be strong with the ball."
It seemed like the Patriots (7-2, 0-1) never could quite get over the hump. When they trimmed the Saints' (7-1, 1-0) lead to 43-41 late in the third quarter on the strength of a Joe Mostardi 3-pointer and a Yacob jumper, Kimble came through with a clutch 3-pointer to send N-G into the final frame with a five-point lead and the momentum. When Derrick Jones (13 points, 12 rebounds) cleaned up a Yacob miss to get Carroll to within one at 51-50, Jamal Custis dropped in a tough shot in traffic and — who else? — Kimble canned another key 3-pointer after a Jones miss.
To hear Yacob say it, though, starting a rigorous league slate with the best of the best is, well, the best way to do it.
"You know exactly where you stand at," said Yacob, a Binghamton signee who did his scoring on 11-for-19 shooting from the field. "We had them right on their heels, so we know if we did that to the best team in the league, supposedly, we could do that to every team in the league. There were a lot of big points where we could take away both good and bad."
While Jones got his numbers, he also had to make do with a fierce matchup in Saints big man and Towson signee John Davis. Davis muscled his way to 15 points and nine rebounds and had a big hand in dealing Jones a pair of early fouls. When Davis was done inside, it was Ja'Quan Newtown doing damage everywhere on the court with 24 points, 12 rebounds and a game-icing 7-for-8 fourth quarter at the charity stripe.
"I knew from the jump we could play with everybody," Jones said. "We could beat most of the Catholic League teams. We just had an off night. None of our shots were falling, free throw shots weren't falling. ... It was great playing (N-G) first because we thought we could get the win, but they beat us. They're the hardest team in the Catholic League, so we know now that we can play against anybody."
With the way things went down Thursday, it would be surprising if that were the lone matchup between the two this year. Continued...
