After disparaging tweed overcoats for cold weather travel yesterday, let us consider a suitable alternative.
The illustration, from a 1935 Esquire, shows a single breasted peak lapelled fly front topcoat in a gray herringbone weave for city wear (J&J Minnis have a nice 18 ounce version of the cloth here). It's worn by a young ne'er do well but that shouldn't stop men who are constructively employed. And, by the way, for those who may be wondering, a fly front means the buttons down the front are covered by a flap of cloth.
A topcoat like this one can be worn just about anywhere short of a bitter cold day in Moscow. Don it over a blue worsted suit and it's correct in the stodgiest office lobby. Or throw it on over flannel trousers and yesterday's tweed jacket to stand in line for a cab at the airport. Said another way, gray herringbone is among the most versatile dress coats a man can own and wouldn't be out of place as his wardrobe's go-to covering, assuming he's already got a raincoat with a zip-out lining.
Truly a better coat, for travel or other pursuits.

And A Better Coat

How would you compare a tan camel hair coat in the same style in terms of versatility and warmth with this one? - October 2, 2008 at 7:30:00 AM PDT
- Laguna Beach Trad said...
Great post, Will. I suppose the virtues of such a coat would extend to its ability to conceal a hip flask, which, judging by the look on the young ne'er do well's mother (or wife?), is a particularly critical attribute.
- October 2, 2008 at 9:33:00 AM PDT
- Will said...
Sameer, I'd call them a push except that the camel hair I've seen has been overcoat weight rather than topcoat weight.

- John said...
Not to be a stickler, but from the lapel overlap, doesn't that look like a double-breasted coat?
- October 2, 2008 at 10:38:00 AM PDT
- Will said...
The notes to the photo claim the coat is single breasted, and who should know better?

She looks upset - almost as if they have locked her in the car and won't let her out.

Hello, in fall, do you put away summer dress shirts? If you do, how you do? Do you hang and store them on the hangers or fold then store in the drawer? - thanks
- October 2, 2008 at 4:05:00 PM PDT
- rip said...
I have to agree with john; irrespective of the photo notes, the fact that the lapels cross well above the first button certainly seems to indicate a double-breasted coat. I'd be inclined to trust my eye rather than an anonymous note-writer.

On today's trendwatching podcast, Nora Young talks about a new entry to the Knight News Challenge (which is a funding contest to help re-invigorate news for the 21st century). The proposal is to engineer online news feeds so that you can access the perspective of people who are UNLIKE you. It's to combat the problem of the social media echo chamber that we encounter when we just read the news our like-minded friends read (via The Atlantic)
Cathi Bond brings us a cool project in more sustainable architecture. It's a social housing project near Madrid. Cathi likes it because it's designed with 'flow through' in mind, and because it uses "cogeneration" as a power source, which allows the waste heat generated to be used for things like heating water (via Architecture Today).
Finally, for history buffs out there, check out Orbis, a project from Stanford University which is best thought of as "Google Maps for Ancient Rome". Once you get to the website, just click on "Mapping Orbis". How would you get around? (Via Ars Technica).

Born in 1988, William's mantra in life is to search, discover, and create. William graduated from MJM graphic design school in Paris and since then has realized his art works in various mediums such as photography, video, writing, and painting. Painting, however, is his principal passion. Taking inspiration from pop-art, William creates works that can be described as "street art" with a little Dadaism. His paintings embody both restraint and passion, acknowledging the past while remaining completely present. Through these artistic pursuits, William has created a name for himself in the art world and a growing cult following in his native France.

From the moment Chesterbrook Academy teacher Tara Gravatt found out she was nominated for an award, it was an emotional experience.
The 23-year-old didnt know how far it would actually go.
Gravatt shed a few tears when she learned shed been recommended as the best preschool teacher at her Uwchlan school, as part of an annual contest held by Nobel Learning Communities (NLC), Chesterbrooks parent organization. That excitement intensified when she discovered shed reached the regional round, and then came a surprise request from Chesterbrook Principal Casey Shaw.
She told me I needed to come up front for a conference call, so I was freaking out that they needed to talk to me, Gravatt said. Then I get up there and there are some kids whore now in kindergarten who Id had, and I was thinking it had to be serious if they wanted to talk to them. Then they handed me the phone and it was the CEO of the company telling me I won, and I lost it.
What Gravatt won was NLCs Preschool Teacher of the Year, meaning she was selected out of the groups pool of more than 180 private schools in 15 states and Washington, D.C.
Its such an honor, and it means so much to me to be recognized, Gravatt said. I didnt think I was doing anything special, really. I just did what came natural. It was a big shock.
Shaw said the award was a testament to Gravatts dedication and exuberance.
Shes just extremely creative, comes up with some really neat lessons and gets just as excited as the kids about the activities she has for them, Shaw said.
Gravatts is a teaching career that almost didnt happen. Throughout most of her scholastic life, including at Downingtown East High School, Gravatt wanted to be a lawyer. She eventually weighed the time involved, and went to Salisbury University in Maryland to study architecture and interior design. A semester into her freshman year, however, she couldnt deny her calling.
I said, I cant do this. I need to be a teacher. Thats what I love to do, Gravatt said. Its not work to me, its fun. I wouldnt be happy doing anything else.
Gravatt had started working with Chesterbrooks Beginners program in February of 2007, during her senior year of high school. After changing her major, she came back to work on breaks from school. She was drawn to the youngsters from day one.
The 2-year-olds just fascinate me, Gravatt said. Theyre little sponges, and everything they hear, they absorb. I really enjoy teaching them and hearing what they learn from them.
Gravatt herself was in daycare between 6 months and 2 years old. Self-described as needy child, her mom eventually stayed at home with her until she was 5, before she went to preschool and then kindergarten.
Gravatt and her mom both marvel at what her students have learned via her teaching and Chesterbrooks curriculum.
They know more Spanish than I learned in high school. Theyre geniuses, and its cool to know that I taught them that, Gravatt said. I talk to my mom about this stuff all the time, and it blows her mind. That and all the feedback I get that most kids this age are not learning this, it gives me the drive that I have, also.
Like her students, Gravatts time at Chesterbrook has been full of learning.
This is like a teaching-me experience, before I move up to kindergarten or first grade, Gravatt said. If it were up to me, Id teach 2-year-olds for the rest of my life, but eventually Ill have to move on.
When that day comes, it wont be easy.
Im with the kids for nine hours Monday through Friday, so I get very close to them, Gravatt said. Its not like theyre my kids, maybe more like my little brothers and sisters. Its going to be hard, and right now, I cant actually picture myself doing it. I love them so much.

How to add effects nodes to webAudioApiForDesigners.js
I am using the webAudioApiForDesigners.js library that is mentioned on this site.
I am trying to integrate Web Audio Effects nodes such as filters to it. It isn't working.
Below is some code *deleted - see comment below
I tried to edit the code above to display properly 4 times and I couldn't get it to work right. Instead I will just post a js fiddle:
The above code needs to be run off a server to actually work since it streams an audio file via the web audio api
I tried the demo from the webaudioapi on github and I noticed it need to be run from a web server. Sounds are not played when I open the file from the hd but they do when I use xampp as an apache server. It might sound stupid but it could be your problem..
That's not the problem. I can get it to work just fine and understand I need the server to make the XMLHttpRequest.
I just don't understand how to hook it to effects nodes in the Audio API.
I can play audio files just fine. I can hook effects perfectly well when not using webaudiofordesigners.js. It's hooking the effects to this abstracted piece of code that I don't understand how to do.
Thank you

Last night at board meeting, someone raised the idea of possibly eliminating the landline at church. I keep my office in the parsonage, since I don't have a secretary (other than our volunteer, unpaid secretary (my wife)), and since we don't want to heat the church just for one person to be in the office. I will often meet people at the church if needed, but the phone serves mostly as a gateway to the church answering machine, and a number to be published in the phone book.
Does anyone go landlineless at church? What are the pros/cons of doing so?
It seems like there must be a way to port that number to another service--either an add-on cellphone or a google voice number. But would we lose our listing in the phone book?

The border crossing is what got me to sign up. Not to metion, a really cool finisher's medal with a ribbon that incorporates the U.S. and that other country's flag. Going over the bridge right at sunrise is memorable. A great crowd surrounds the entrance to the tunnel in Windsor, and a huge, enthusiastic crowd welcomes you back to America at the exit of the tunnel. Dress warm, it was a little cool and windy this year. If you wear 'throw away clothes' do NOT get rid of them too early. Belle Isle (mile 20) is wide open and can be very windy and cold. Expo isn't huge, but working through the traffic to get to the packet pickup is difficult. The best part of the expo was about 100 people surrounding a TV to watch the Michigan-Michigan State game.
The first half of this marathon is a rush. Two border crossings, and a lot of adrenaline. Like most marathons, be ready for the back half. Belle Isle is pretty, but not while dying. Ha. I BQ'ed, so not complaining. Great event.
It was my first marathon and more than anything I really enjoyed the cool temperature; the weather was just perfect for me 'Thank GOD' and most of all I now know the true meaning of 'hitting the wall' because I experienced it for the first time at mile 20. WOW is all I can say and I had to give myself a pat on the back for being a new member of the '1%' group of human beings to complete a marathon.
I drove 10 hours for this race and I spent at least and hour and a half waiting for tolls and customs too. I expected more from this race and was disappointed. Energy of race was great, but was disappointed with the course and the spectators. Had to walk through the entire expo to pick up my bib and Shirt? First half of course was uphill and spent on asphalt and bridges. Spectators were sprinkled along the course, but were not as visible as I thought they would be. On a positive note - I would like to acknowledge the race organizers for their choice of medals. The finisher medal was spectacular (a work of art that symbolized the city and the race.) The race shirt was also nice and I felt that it was worth wearing again. The energy was positive, but the town and the race were a bit depressing. I would not run this race again.
I strongly recommend running this marathon. Course was awesome, organization was great and the fan support was excellent in both the US and Canada. Spacing of corral starts was well done...I never felt crowded. The medal and shirt are among my favorite. I stayed at the Ren Center and used the People Mover over the weekend...very convenient.
WOW!~ Top notch from start to finish! Expo amazing,great pasta dinner at the church, start and finish were electric, on time start, awsome long sleeve tech Ts (black!), water and gatoraide both sides of street every 1.5miles, course spectacular, incredible feeling running into another country being welcomed to Canada, enthusiastic fans, super food spread after race, unique and amazing medal , hotel .1 from start and finish. Weather was perfect today, I qualified for boston. This was my 44th marathon: been to NYC and Boston. Detroit on line with these races: a for sure MUST DO in the MOTORCITY! Great job!
I chose this one because of the opportunity to run in Canada. I am so glad I did. The organization did a wonderful job. Course was well laid out. Plenty of water stations. Expo was pretty good. My only 'gripe' would be that we were told that we needed to carry our passport with us, even though we had been cleared by customs already. Not a good feeling to have to run with a passport for 26.2 miles. Course had two small hills within the last 1/2 mile, and some decent inclines when crossing the bridges, but other than that, was relatively flat. Parking downtown was easy to find. I stayed in Windsor, Canada and had no problem getting to the race on race day. I actually gave myself too much time. All in all, this race is a must do.
First time running this marathon and I had a great time! The expo was pretty large, but still organized and had a great variety of booths. The race course was enjoyable and running through Canada was quite an experience! Great announcers throughout the race helped too! I'd recommend this race to everyone and would absolutely consider running it again!
I've run about 25 marathons, and this is in the top 25%. In terms of organization, it was among the best! Nice to run back and forth between two best friends (U.S. and Canada) across the bridge and along the waterfront. Not too hilly, except for the bridge, but that's early in the raise, so we are all wise enough to conserve energy going up and down this. Through some nice neighbourhoods in Detroit,.. and when I ran it, nice weather and friendly crowds. For a midsize marathon, excellent choice!!
I was born in Detroit so it was a homecoming for me. Running downtown, through Bel Isle, and Canada. Awesome!

How Onetime Social Pillars Are Crumbling—PICTURES
Updated: April 19, 2012 | 4:36 p.m.

The latest report in the Restoration Calls series examines how the institutions in Muncie, Ind.—dubbed Middletown by 20th-century sociologists—have let down the Americans who live there.
"With few notable exceptions, the nation's onetime social pillars are ill-equipped for the 21st century," write Ron Fournier and Sophie Quinton in the National Journal cover story.
This gallery takes a closer look at whom the system disappointed:

Mayor Lee & Public Utilities Commission Announce Appointment of Harlan L. Kelly, Jr. as General Manager
Current SFPUC Assistant General Manager & Former City Engineer to Lead City's Water, Sewer & Power Programs
Posted Date:
Mayor Edwin M. Lee and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission today announced the appointment of Harlan L. Kelly, Jr. as the new General Manager for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to replace retiring General Manager and former City Controller Ed Harrington.
"After a long and exhaustive nationwide search, I am proud to join the SFPUC in selecting Harlan Kelly as the next SFPUC General Manager," said Mayor Lee. "Harlan has shown tremendous commitment and leadership at the SFPUC as Assistant General Manager and in his role in delivering our City's most vital capital improvement programs, which collectively, are delivering our City's water, sewer and power to the region. I know that Harlan will continue the good work of Ed Harrington who has left a lasting impact not just at SFPUC, but on our entire City."
"Harlan exemplifies the type of leadership and vision that will lead our agency into the future," said SFPUC Commission President Anson Moran. "His commitment to professionalism and integrity, coupled with an innovative approach to management, has helped us keep faith with our ratepayers and succeed in seismically upgrading our historic Hetch Hetchy Water and Power System in addition to delivering other quality infrastructure programs. He is also a staunch advocate for making sure that the diverse communities in our City get access to jobs and training opportunities available at the SFPUC."
Kelly's civil engineering career spans nearly three decades beginning as a Student Trainee and including his tenure as San Francisco's City Engineer. At the San Francisco Department of Public Works, he also held project management positions, including Acting Director and Deputy Director of Engineering, when he directed complex capital improvement programs that included the rebuild and seismic retrofit of City Hall, Kezar Stadium, and expansions of convention, hospital, county jail, and public arts facilities. For the upgrade of the Hetch Hetchy water system, he implemented a cloud-based system to streamline and coordinate projects and enhance financial transparency and accountability, saving the City time and money.
For the past nine years, Kelly has served as the SFPUC Assistant General Manager for Infrastructure and has overseen the historic $4.6 billion voter-approved seismic upgrade of the Hetch Hetchy Water System and is currently leading the development of the upcoming multi-billion Sewer System Improvement Program. Kelly helped deliver the recently opened $191 million SFPUC 525 Golden Gate Avenue Headquarters, one of the few municipal buildings in the world built to LEED Platinum standards and one of the greenest buildings in North America. The building is projected to save ratepayers $3.7 billion over the building's lifespan thanks to a combination of rental efficiencies, asset ownership, and environmentally sustainable building design.
Kelly has also shown a strong commitment to empowering San Francisco communities. In 1995, he started Project Pull, a summer internship program that places diverse students from throughout San Francisco with an interest in engineering, architecture, sciences, business and law into City departments for a summer. After 17 years, Project Pull is now the longest-running youth program of its kind in San Francisco. In 2012, he was honored for this work and received the Local Hero Award for Community Service from KQED and Heroes and Hearts Award from the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation.
Kelly is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and a licensed professional engineer.

After months of protesting a policy requiring high school students to wear an RFID-enabled ID badge around their necks at all times, Andrea Hernandez is being involuntarily withdrawn from John Jay High School in San Antonio effective November 26th, according to a letter sent by the district that has now been made public.
The letter, sent on November 13, informs her father that the Smart ID program, which was phased in with the new school year, is now in "full implementation" and requires all students to comply by wearing the location-tracking badges.

'Through the lens of small town values
Forthcoming Hudson Valley Boys film gives Monroe filmmaker a soapbox opportunity
Director Alexandre Pulido, far right, of Monroe, reviews an upcoming scene with one of the leading actors, Theodore Jones of Monroe, left, and Kyle Beiermeister, who is behind the camera.
Alexandre Pulido, in his directorís chair, oversees filming on the set at the Newburgh location. From the left are Ryan Perry and Kyle Beiermeister with other extras in background.
Actor Justin Fernandez of Monroe stands at the counter of Mr. Cone in Monroe, prepping for his next scene.
MONROE — A Monroe student filmmaker completed filming his thesis project this past weekend in the local area, calling it the first of many "soapboxes" he hopes to create in the future.
Alexandre Pulido, a 2008 graduate of Monroe-Woodbury High School and currently a student at Emerson University in Boston, is the director of "Hudson Valley Boys," produced by Toreador Films, an amateur film company comprised of film and theater majors from regional East Coast universities.
Local venues, businesses, cast
The film company shot at a variety of "recognizable Orange County locations" involving a number of local merchants and vendors in the creation of the film, which production officials said support the local economy. In return, they added, the film company has also received "generous support" from local merchants as well.
The cast and crew included area residents with Pulido as director/screenwriter; Justin Fernandez of Monroe as "J-Bo;" Theodore Jones of Monroe as "T'Bone;" Shawn Wood of Monroe as one of the grips; Evan Smith of Warwick as the key grip; and Josh Wechsler of Warwick as sound recordist/engineer.
The film is about two young men (J-Bob and T-Bone) coming back to their small hometown to deal with drug problems occurring there, Pulido explained.
"Hudson Valley Boys is a statement, sprayed in bullet holes across the side of a dilapidated pick-up truck, remembering a time long gone that, for many, is still going strong," Pulido wrote in a note to The Photo News. "A modern day perspective on a present day place anachronistically trapped in the past. It explores the relativity of morality and justice in the lens of small town values, and when, if ever, vigilantism can be the best solution to a problem."
In a later conversation, Pulido said he pulled from his personal experience for much of the content.
"The two main characters (T-Bone and J-Bob) are based on my best friends from high school," he said. "They come back from being away to deal with the problem of drug proliferation in their community. Along the way, they deal with issues of vigilantism. I saw those (drug) problems to an extent, but they were not kept out in the open. I noticed it more when I came back from college. "
'A camera is a weapon'
Filming took place at Mr. Cone in Monroe this past Sunday as well as at The Tucson Café in Warwick and other venues in the surrounding area. "He (Joe Loscalzo at Mr. Cone) was so incredibly accommodating and incredibly nice," said Pulido. "We were there a half hour longer than we thought. He insisted in giving ice cream to everyone. We wanted to buy it ourselves, but he said, 'No, you absolutely will not.'"
Pulido also shot at the homes of some of his friends as well.
"I had some fun shooting at local venues," he said. "It was very interesting for me and I had a lot of friends to help me out in a lot of different ways and I really appreciated it."
Pulido said his film, scheduled for completion in December, has a purpose.
"Art is a statement," he said. "An artist finds himself in the unique situation walking around at all times with a soapbox tied around his neck. Possession of this soapbox demands that a statement be made, and the ability to make a statement that many may hear demands that it be one worth telling many."
But he wouldn't reveal the lesson, noting he was more interested in seeing what viewers take away from it themselves.
"Filmmaking is war," added Pulido. "A camera is a weapon. Words are bullets. This film is my soapbox. 'Hudson Valley Boys' is my statement."

Time for city to entertain conversation about taxes

1) Eagerly supporting/funding study for the commuter train from McMinnville to Portland that did not have any chance of happening.
2) Funding the Newberg-Dundee bypass at a level greater than Newberg and Dundee combined even though there would be a shortfall in funding McMinnville street maintenance.
3) Never in the last three decades taking a stand against the mismanagement of PERS and now wanting money to cover PERS costs.
Really? I guess the question is - how is that any different than what has been happening for the last 30 years?
However, people like to think they can have their cake and eat it too. They like to think if they just root out all of the supposed waste, there will be lots of money left to meet their personal priorities. So we feel compelled to remind them of reality.
Nearly every level of government ( or public-funded entity) will claim slim, but the truth does not coincide with that assessment.
The article states the city has raised fees (or licenses) and cutting staff. So the reality these days is we are already paying more and getting less. Not much more room to wiggle, don't you think?

Man on motorized barstool charged with DUI
A DUI is never "good news" but this is positively interesting.
Neighbors heard what sounded like a lawnmower buzzing down Kelley Lane in Newark earlier this month. It turned out to be a motorized barstool which police say a man crashed while drunk.
Kile Wygle, 28, is charged with driving a barstool while under the influence of alcohol and driving with a suspended license. He's asked for a jury trial.
Police say Wygle crashed his strange-looking contraption while trying to make a U-turn.
According to a report, Wygle told Officer Michael Trotter that his barstool can reach speeds of 38 mph, but was only going 20 mph when he crashed.
Wygle was treated for minor injuries at Licking Memorial Hospital where he joked with Trotter about drinking 15 beers before the crash. He refused the blood-alcohol test.
Ohio law prohibits anyone from operating a motorized vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The law excludes wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

I have just a plain bare retangular back yard with a 24 x 14 concrete patio I had poured. No plants just weeds. I need some ideas for shade, layout or grill - table -other sitting area to make it functional and cozy. Also on a budget after the concrete. Where can I go for ideas for a normal persons backyard. All of the make overs seem to be expensive or yards with charactor of which I have neither. efv | |||
first, you need to determine where shade from a tree will fall on the patio at the time you are most likely to use it. Then plant a tree that wont grow more than 25-30 ft. tall.in that location but not so close as to overwhelm the patio. If you plant a tree that grows 50,60, 70, ft tall you will regret it. You also have to determine whether the roots grow down or close to the surface. If they grow close to the surface, then there's a good possibility for damage to the patio as the tree grows. I would put the sitting area in the shaded area and the grill outside of it, to keep from having any smoke or grease (??? )from damaging the tree. You might also consider where the prevailing winds blow and take that in consideration when locating the grill. Also get rid of the weeds as soon as possible and plant a good variety of grass for your area. The rest of the landscaping can wait until your funds are available and you figure out where they would look best. Post a photo when you get doneThis message has been edited.

where do you live? | ||||
I live near Austin,TX. Also, I need to do something to the concrete to make unplain. Is there a site for ideas or somewhere I can use a program to layout the furniture I currently have? And far as shade I was referring to a pergola or some sort of a sunshade. I'm pretty good with picking out plants and landscaping. efv | ||||

Arrested for DUI, Assault
The crazy incident occurred Monday night just before midnight. Cops say Warren was driving in L.A. when she struck 3 parked cars in her Toyota Prius. Warren drove away but cops spotted her and placed her under arrest for driving under the influence, though not before she resisted and kicked an officer.
Warren was taken to the police station in handcuffs, and during the booking process she managed to get out of her handcuffs and then run out the back door! Warren was quickly recaptured.
Warren is being booked for felony escape. We're told she will also be booked for assault, hit and run and DUI.
As one law enforcement source told TMZ ... "She was really hammered."
According to the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. website, Warren's bail has set at $100,000.
UPDATE: Warren was JUST released from jail ... nearly fifteen hours after the incident.

Jason Lawrence Ward
By: Terry McDaniel
Updated: October 15, 2012
Jason Lawrence Ward, 36, of Dothan passed away Saturday, October 13, 2012 at his residence.

Girls Basketball: Cardinal O'Hara fights together to capture Catholic League title
PHILADELPHIA — Perhaps Cardinal O'Hara is a team of destiny.
The Lions have stuck together through good, bad and trying times. And they plan on moving forward, together, to the PIAA Class AAAA tournament. It's only the first step. The Lions have bigger goals in mind, but winning a Philadelphia Catholic League championship is a good start.
After all, it is meant to be. Or at least it seems that way.
O'Hara captured the Catholic League title Monday night at the Palestra with a 31-25 victory over Archbishop Wood. It's the Lions' first Catholic League crown in five years.
"We've come together and being here — and being able to win it here — feels so good," senior forward Shanice Johnson said. "We fought together. At the end of the day, we deserved it."
Johnson and other members of O'Hara made it a point to mention their teammate and leader, senior guard Mackenzie Rule. Twitter exploded last week with the hashtag, #NoOneFightsAlone, which became a nationwide trend. It was tweeted mostly by high school kids in Delco who wanted to show their love and support for Rule, whose father, George, died recently from cancer.
The Lions and their fans donned purple shirts with the NOFA slogan during pregame warmups.
During a time of terrible sadness, the Lions managed to win big games. They took down reigning PCL champs Archbishop Carroll in the semifinals before disposing of Wood.
And Rule never missed her call in the starting lineup. She was there Monday, and received the loudest ovation of any player during pregame introductions.
"It was nice to see what the kids have done," coach Linus McGinty said. "They love Mackenzie." Continued...
For the Lions (20-5), they won for the 17th time in their last 18 games. They defeated the Vikings (17-8) for the second time this season.
The last time the Lions were able to celebrate at the Palestra was in 2008, when the likes of Natashia Cloud (Saint Joseph's), Alicia Manning (Lafayette) and Steph Holzer (Vanderbilt) were running the show. Monday night, it was Rule, Johnson, Libby Lannon, Mia Farmer and Rachel Guy.
There wasn't one standout performer, which isn't a surprise. O'Hara is as balanced as any team in the area. It's been that way, with this core of players, for two seasons. Though Johnson is the target for most defenses, containing her effectiveness guarantees nothing. Thus, it wasn't shocking to see that only one player scored in double figures Monday. That player was Guy, who came through at the free-throw line. She hit three foul shots in the fourth quarter, including a pair in the waning moments to help seal the win for the Lions.
"It was nerve-wracking, because everyone was yelling and screaming, but in the end we came through and we won," said Guy, who finished with a game-high 10 points and shot 7-for-8 from the foul line.
Trailing, 29-25, with 30 seconds to go, Wood moved the ball up court with little sense of urgency. The Vikings didn't take a field-goal attempt until there was 11 seconds left on the clock. The scoreboard, though, read that O'Hara was ahead by three points when in actuality it led by four. The scoreboard error could have factored into the Vikings taking their time on that final possession.
"Everyone really showed a lot of heart, especially in this game, and for pulling together and being there for Mackenzie," senior Libby Lannon said. "We really don't have one player, we have a team. We let our defense turn into our offense and I think tonight we did that."
In the teams' previous meeting, O'Hara won a low-scoring affair, 30-27. Needless to say, a another defensive battle was expected.
"We tried to press early and we got some baskets, but we couldn't maintain it," McGinty said. "We sort of lost momentum. They got two in the end (and were within three points) and had a pretty easy shot and missed. We battled."
The Lions jumped to a 7-0 lead, forcing a pair of early turnovers. The Vikings were flummoxed and spent a timeout. Eventually, the reigning three-time PIAA Class AAA champions settled down and made it a game, but they could never catch up. O'Hara led the entire way.
The Vikings stayed within striking distance throughout, but struck out on a slew of chances in the third quarter, when they shot 1-for-13 from the field. With 1:52 left in the third, the Vikings had no fouls to give, but the Lions couldn't always capitalize from the free-throw line. Continued...
"We knew it was going to be tough the whole game," Lannon said. "We knew it wasn't going to be a blowout or anything like that. We had a lot of confidence that we could play with them and beat them again, but it was very tough. They're a great team."
Johnson scored nine points and grabbed eight rebounds and Farmer chipped in with five points. Farmer banked a shot off the backboard as time winded down in the first half, which has become something of a speciality for the junior guard.
Somehow, someway, the Lions won despite shooting 7-for-26 (26.9 percent) from the floor. Wood wasn't much better, converting just 10 of 35 attempts (28.5 percent).
But again, maybe it was supposed to be that way.
"That's how I feel about it," Lannon said. "That this was going to happen no matter what."
The Lions take on Central of the Public League for the District 12 title Saturday at 5 p.m. at Lincoln High School.
"It's a lot better now than it has been in previous years going into states," Lannon said. "We're definitely more motivated now. Now we have to continue it, because it's not over."

UFC on FUEL TV 5: Stefan Struve vs. Stipe Miocic full fight video highlights
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Sep 30, 2012 at 7:30 am ET
Junior Dos Santos, Cain Velasquez, Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum, make room for the 7-foot-tall Struve, who scored a vicious knockout of Miocic.
Full fight video highlights are now available of the the bout.
UFC on FUEL TV 5 took place at Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England. Struve and Miocic headlined the FUEL TV-televised main card that followed Facebook prelims.
During his three-and-a-half-year UFC career, Struve has been a consistent winner, but against his biggest-name opponents, he's fallen short. Hoping to shake gatekeeper status, he faced the undefeated Miocic, one of the division's most well-rounded athletes and a striker with exceptionally heavy hands.
Struve ate some shots and appeared to wobble on a few occasions. But he soon found his range and tagged Miocic in the second round with some heavy blows. After Miocic slipped in the round, Struve quickly popped him with a straight right and then unloaded some heavy uppercuts that staggered Miocic and eventually forced the stoppage.
Check out the embedded clip for the full highlights.

How planning can pay
CPEX wants the public to know urban core investments can lead to economic benefit. |
In 2005, Raleigh, N.C. invested $10 million in redeveloping its downtown area. The plan wasn't popular, and urban planners had a hard time getting taxpayers to understand the wisdom behind it.
"No one thought investing in downtown was worth it," says Mitchell Silver, the city's chief planning and development officer. "Downtown Raleigh was not a place that anybody wanted to live or shop."
Just seven years later, that $10 million investment has resulted in more than $2.5 billion in private investment, with shops, restaurants and—this is the most important one, according to Silver—thousands of new multifamily units lining Fayetteville Street in Raleigh and the surrounding neighborhood.
Raleigh officials don't yet know how many actual property-tax dollars the city has netted from its initial investment because property is assessed there once every eight years. But based on the economic activity alone generated in the vibrant and growing downtown corridor, they are reasonably certain every penny of the $10 million was worth it.
"It was such a success, now we are replicating that same model all over the city," says Silver, who also serves as president of the American Planning Association. "People are beginning to realize there is a real economic value to good, solid, land-use planning. There is a direct connection between planning and economic development."
Raleigh is one of a growing number of cities that is taking an economic approach to planning, and Silver is one of its disciples. He'll be bringing that message to Baton Rouge at the Center for Planning Excellence's 2012 Smart Growth Summit, which will be held Aug. 27-29. CPEX officials say it's a message the local community needs to hear and take to heart.
"Data is out there to show how a small amount of public investment and a successful plan will lead to long-term, sustained private investment," says CPEX Director Boo Thomas. "We have shown that with our own downtown area here in Baton Rouge. We want elected officials and developers to understand it can be that way everywhere."
It's not always an easy message to convey. Even in so-called progressive locales like Raleigh, part of North Carolina's high-tech Research Triangle, local government is often loathe to spend public dollars on infill and redevelopment projects, preferring instead to direct developers to the outskirts of town. But Silver says research shows municipal and state governments get a better return on their investment, or ROI, if they work from master plans that focus on the urban core of an area.
"If you plan smart and plan right, it is the best way of stabilizing your tax base," he says. "We have learned in Raleigh that a downtown location can have 50-to-90 times the tax value of a suburban location. In other words, the more density you put on it, the more value you create."
As a hypothetical example, the returns could vary widely on a $10 million publicly funded infrastructure project, like the widening of a road. The rule of thumb, according to Silver, is that if the project is built in a suburban location, it will yield a 2% return and take 40 years to pay off. If you take a similar project in a higher-density area, the ROI will be 30%—and the project can be paid off in three years.
"A six-story building downtown has a much higher ROI than a Walmart on the edge of town," Silver says. "That is counterintuitive to the thinking of a lot of people."
CPEX officials are optimistic Silver's address will be well-received. In the years since CPEX began hosting the Smart Growth Summit in 2003 (the conference took a hiatus from 2004-2006 and resumed in 2007) awareness about the importance of smart growth and proper planning has spread throughout the Capital Region, and beyond. Last year's event drew more than 800 attendees from 31 parishes.
The Baton Rouge Center for Planning Excellence will hold its Smart Growth Summit at the end of the month. See some of the scheduled events here.
"People understand the message now because they can see the results," Thomas says. "The best visible sign of what a good plan can do is the Shaw Center for the Arts. Look at what that has done for our downtown area. That is really the perfect example of what a plan can do."
While this year's Smart Growth Summit revolves around Silver's theme about the smart economics of smart growth, the conference will also address other pressing issues relevant to land-use and planning. Other topics on the agenda include: parks and greenways, bike infrastructure, art for revitalization, financing, water management, preservation and green building, to name a few.
Another noteworthy item on the agenda deals with building and development in coastal communities, a subject of increasing importance in south Louisiana's eroding parishes. Earlier this summer, CPEX published a Best Practices Manual for Development in Louisiana, which explains and illustrates the latest available international, national and local best practices in coastal development. The agency also published a coastal toolkit, which focuses on hazard mitigation and natural resource protection in coastal areas. Both will be officially unveiled at the summit.
"The value of the summit is really in introducing new ideas," Thomas says. "It's getting everyone in the same room. It doesn't change your culture overnight, but little by little, things start to change."
