'Homeland' Star Diego Klattenhoff on Playing the Good Guy and the Show's 'Darker' Season Finale
Getty Images/Showtime
Amidst the oft-twisted morality of the characters on Showtime's gripping CIA thriller
(Sundays at 10 p.m. ET) is consummate boy scout (okay, U.S. Marine Captain) Mark Faber. In recent episodes, Faber (played with believable, familiar American folkiness by Canadian actor
Diego Klattenhoff)
emerges as the pure foil to former best friend and soldier-turned-terrorist-turned-triple-agent Nicholas Brody (
Damien Lewis)
On a break from his tireless shooting schedule— did we mention he's
also in
Guillermo del Toro's upcoming, super-secretive science fiction film
Pacific Rim
?— the charming, witty Klattenhoff spoke to
about playing the good guy, what to expect from the show's season finale, and squaring off onscreen with
Claire Danes:
On his verbal sparring with Danes
in "The Clearing" episode
"You never know with Mike Faber [if he'll stop with his investigation into Brody]. [After the cameras stop] it's pretty mellow. Claire is the ultimate professional. It's amazing to get in there and try to duke it out with her since she's a bit of a monster. She's so great at her job that she can slip into that world and then later talk about babies or a new restaurant. There is pretty much zero improv is scenes like that and everything is pretty much on the page."
On whether they're afraid of their characters getting killed off.
"We're finished shooting season two but it was on everyone's mind who was going to go and what was going to happen. After the Gettysburg episode, you just don't know who is going to get punched next. It's kind of the good part of the show, not knowing what's going to happen."
Will we see a dark side to Mike?
"There are whips and chains, things with him and Jessica [Brody, played by
Morena Baccarin
]. No, I think Mike is a moral compass. What is right is right and he'll always look after the family, Jess, and Brody but something is rotten in Denmark. Mike will always try to do the right thing."
On playing an American solider as a Canadian.
"I was fortunate enough to spend some days with guys in Santa Fe who were headed off to Afghanistan. Just talking with them to understand why they do what they do, how they cope. We have our share of military [in Canada] though not nearly to the extent here in America. So you just try to understand and relate to it and translate it to the character's experience."
When he realized
was special.
"As soon as I read it, I knew. I think that was like everyone who is involved in the show. By the time you finished that first script you were completely hooked. The caliber of writing, the creative side and the cast, from the get-go it was obvious it wasn't going to be a run-of-the-mill show. We shoot the show in a little bit of a bubble and it's amazing to see the reaction. It's been fantastic."
Spoiler alert? On the on-set secrecy
"They tell us to shut our mouths and we shut our mouths. There is certain protocol for getting scripts and rewrites. I've never been a part of something like that, well I have for
Pacific Rim
, which I cannot talk about. You never know what's going to happen. We were hearing on
Breaking Bad
that people had rented a helicopter to scope out the last episode while they were shooting. You never know so it's better to be safe than sorry. For our finale, they issued us hard copies of the script and it's watermarked with your name. So you just don't be an idiot and leave it at a Starbucks or read it on a plane too much. I generally fear the wrath of the studio and the writers."
On the
bubble in North Carolina.
"It's great. You couldn't be trapped with better people on a desert island. As good as everybody is at their job, they're fun to hang out with. There is always a dinner party or someone is organizing golf or bowling or a dance party. It's a fun group.
How his life has changed.
"People didn't stop me before for a guest spot that I did on
. Nothing against
but people didn't freak out in traffic to tell me they love my show. It's cool being in a New York restaurant full of hipsters and New York people.
Michael Cera
Jude Law
are there and you don't expect anything. And then the waiter turns suddenly and says, 'I love your show man, from one actor to another, I have to say, I love it.' And meeting people you admire who are fans of your show. It's pretty surreal."
On the finale [which airs December 16].
"There is no letting up. Thinks get darker and spin faster and faster. Inevitably lots of major sh-t goes down. It literally gets darker and goes down the rabbit hole."

Again, this seems to be trying to add new functionality into a corner case of a existing mode. I don't like this because it makes testing and validating that the code is correct for its uses difficult. Especially given that a number of combinations of modes might be set at once. What happens to freq adjustments done at the same time as an ADJ_OFFSET - STA_PLL? Personally, I see the adjtimex call as too flexible, as I'd prefer to have the modes be exclusive (adjusting one thing per call). As it is now, the kernel doesn't throw out enough invalid to invalid-ish cases. ie: MOD_NANO|MOD_MICRO: totally cool! We should fix these and make the input checking more strict, but in my mind moving to mode-numbers rather then mode-flags would be much nicer (and more extendable). Richard: Maybe this is a good thing to think about for clock_adjtime? If we are adding a new syscall, maybe we should make sure we clean up some of the old syscalls issues? It does add a good bit of complexity, as the idea of clock_adjtime being a multiplexing adjtimex was nice and simple. We'd also have to review the mode usage to see if multi-mode adjustments in a single call are all that common or not. Kuwahara: Maybe could you maybe better explain your passion against using a new mode-flag for this new functionality? You seem dead set against it, but have not expressed your rational well. thanks -john --
Where are the mode bits and their combinations documented, anyhow? There are lot of papers on NTP, and I have not read them all, but I don't recall having seen a precise and succinct decription of the ntp_adjtime interface anywhere. Thanks, Richard --
You can find the original ntp_adjtime description here: Page 22 of: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/database/rfc/rfc1589.txt This pre-dates the nanotime kernel paper, which added MOD_NANO. thanks -john --
So, is the NTP source code the documentation of the kernel interface? Thanks, Richard --
Yea. adjtimex is a combination of ntp_adjtime and the older adjtime interfaces. So its not identical to David Mill's design, but it is compatible. In fact, it wasn't until somewhat recently that it picked up the ntpv4 changes and MOD/ADJ_NANO. By the way, I'm not saying we should switch from using mode flags to mode numbers for the new interface as I'm not sure if it would confuse users moving to it (being very similar, but slightly different can be worse then being totally different). But I figure it warrants some consideration. We do still have 4 unused bits in the modes flags after your patch, so this may be a premature worry. thanks -john --

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 101
Hi! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Did you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV? Ever thought of watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade live? Do it. It completely exceeded my expectations. And mine were high! Today I'll focus on practical tips if you want front row seats.
1. One person from your party must pick a spot on the parade route by 5:30am at the LATEST. Bring tarp and blankets to claim your small piece of land.
2. Location: Anywhere along the parade route on Central Park West on the park side of the street. See below.
3. Send the kids over by 7:15am because the police WON'T let you cross over to the park side after that. See below.
4. The bigger the group you watch the parade with, the better! It was like a huge playdate for my kids. Someone in our party even brought a small tent! The kids played in it until it was disassembled minutes before the parade started. So fun!
5. My feet froze! I should have worn snow boots or something similar.
6. Convince your kids to wear diapers! My boys did! ha
7. Don't expect to have the energy to cook a Thanksgiving meal after the parade. We were exhausted. We got home at 12:30pm, took long naps, and went over to our cousin's house in Harlem at 5pm. The timing was perfect.
8. Take a family photo. I forgot.
9. I'll keep adding to this list when I think of more. What did I miss?
My favorite parade moments tomorrow!
6 comments:
I was in New York for Thanksgiving in 2001 - I was at friends upstate for Thanksgiving itself so I went to the balloon inflating the day before which was so much fun too! So if you can't go on the day itself or don't want the crowds then go see them inflating the balloons the day before.
Glad you had a good time!Thanksgiving Day is coming soon. I am always convinced that Thanksgiving Day is a holiday when we thank our family and friends for their love, support and help during the year. Then, how do you usually express your gratitude to the beloved people around you? As far as I am concerned, to select wonderful gifts for them is a pretty good idea. For instance, if you want to buy a car DVD player for your father as a Thanksgiving Day gift, you need to do some preparation.

Love the style and shape of the jars but they come prefilled with no labels. So how am i supposed to tell what is in the jars. I now have 7 jars filled with green stuff in varying shades that I cannot identify by sell or color!!
Product was just as discribed and it's price was the cheapest of all other sites and stores.
I like that the look, don't care for all the spices I got, probably will switch some out with mine, wish the tops were made with metal rather than plastic.
This product is stylish and functional would make a great addition to any modern kitchen. I would gladly recommend it to a friend.
I love the way this little spice rack looks in my kitchen. I arranged it so the most colorful spices were facing front as most of them are just shades of green. I've used the Savory mix and the Herbs Provence and both were amazing. My only complaint is that the actual stand is made of a very cheap plastic.
Very nice set. Some of the spices are a little funky and I will never use but overall good value and looks real nice. Best price out of all online retailers was on Overstock.
I purchased this for a raffle prize, but I did check it out before wrapping. The person who won the prize was thrilled, and actually called me to rave about the spice rack. She and her (loves to cook) hubby were very happy with the rack. I am giving serious thought to replacing my spice rack with one of these racks.
I bought this as a house wariming gift and it was well recieved.
I guess I should have looked more closely at what spices they had, I don't use a lot of these and there wasn't a lot of the spices i use. But its very nice looking and Ill try some recipes with the different spices!
Very efficient use of space. Convenient, useful. Much better than expected.

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Congratulations on having the energy to post for 500 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work. Want to become buddies??? Warren {:-)
A BIG CONGRATS on 400 consecutive days again! Awesome! For most GBs (8M plus) they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But, even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Alabama GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy! Ron
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching that 1M mark and your first new red car! Awesome, most new GBs will never make it to 1M, but you did! : ) You're one of only 6,786 GBs of more than 8,000,000 GBs to have accumulated at least 1,000,000 points! Keep going another 2 or 3 million! Another 2M and you'll be into that nice big limo! : ) Only 2,325 GBs have made it to 2M, so there is room for you there also! Many GBs ahead of you have already retired! DON'T give up now like so many of those that retired once they got to 1M and 2M! You're doing great, it takes persistence and dedication, but you can do it, so keep going! Keep going like a PRO Alabama GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks! Ron
Congratulations on reaching 1,000,000 points! Great job!

NGE >> History and Archaeology >> Civil Rights and Sunbelt Georgia, 1945-1990 >> Groups/Organizations >> Student Movement of the 1960s |
Student Movement of the 1960s During the 1960s Georgia experienced an increase in student activism on its college campuses and in its cities. Opposed to U.S. political leadership and dissatisfied with American culture, student
The student movement, also called the New Left because it represented the latest manifestation of left-leaning political activism, gained converts on campuses across the nation throughout the decade. In Georgia several schools maintained chapters of national and regional student organizations, such as Students for a Democratic Society and the Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC). Georgia student leaders often looked to the national New Left for guidance and inspiration. Civil Rights Movement The civil rights movement motivated many of Georgia's New Left leaders to become involved in political activism. Emory University student Gene Guerrero, who became the first chairman of SSOC in 1964, turned to activism after being arrested at a 1963 civil rights sit-in in Atlanta. Georgia student activists who joined the civil rights and student movements routinely risked arrest and physical harm, as well as alienation from their conservative friends and families. Activism at UGA The
Antiwar Protests The growing sentiment among Americans against the Vietnam War (1964-73) generated numerous protests in Georgia. The largest antiwar demonstrations occurred during the fall of 1969, as part of the national "moratorium" campaign. In October and again in November, thousands of students gathered on campuses across the state to remember those killed in Southeast Asia. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Atlanta witnessed many antiwar demonstrations, most of which followed a route down Peachtree Street to Piedmont Park. Atlanta Counterculture As
The success of the Great Speckled Bird, an underground newspaper that operated out of a house on Fourteenth Street in Atlanta, symbolized the considerable size and longevity of the 1960s student movement in Georgia. From 1968 until it ceased operation in 1976, writers for the Bird filled each weekly issue with stories about New Left causes. Founded by students from several Georgia colleges, the newspaper kept activists outside the metropolitan area in touch with the student movement. At its height in the early 1970s, activists distributed the paper throughout Georgia and the Southeast. Women's Rights and Gay Liberation Movements The
Georgia student activists participated fully in the social and political upheaval that overtook the nation in the 1960s. Although often overshadowed by events in other parts of the nation, the Georgia student movement played an integral part in the story of the twentieth century's most turbulent decade.

Hi guys
I am new to here and I don't have much experience with latex clothing and I only have one latex catsuit in black so far. But I have ever used any polish to shine or any lubricants to help wear latex.
As my newly ordered catsuit which is measure-to-made (and also in black) will be arriving home soon within this week, I am quite urgent to buy a latex polish and lubricant for my new latex suit because it must be spoiling the pleasure in front of the new catsuit but without any polish and lubricant.
I have searched on google and browsed on forums about which brand of latex solutions should be of the best-value, but I see there are lots of different opinions and there is no easy answer to this question.
So I would like you guys to kindly comment on which brand of latex polishes/lubricants that is the best to buy, just because there are too many
choices and too many differnet comments on the web about that, i really feel so hard to decide which one. Another worry is that I see somebody saying here that some kinds of latex polishes will damage the latex clothing although it will give an excellent shine. Of course I want to buy some polishes that will give my latex the best shiny appearence, but I just don't want it if it would damage my latex suit. So please suggest some polishes that won't damage my latex while it will give a good shining to it. But of course, the cost is also one of my concern , especially because I am in Asia so the shipping cost from European or America will be quite high.
By the way, I see that there are some people who sell those stuff claiming that their polishes can be used as lubricants as well, while some do not mention that. I would like to ask if "polish" and "lubricants" for latex is actually the same thing? and I would like to ask what is the difference between "silicone-based" and "water-based"??? Which "based" I should choose? Will the "water-based" lubricants be better to the human skin ? (because "water" seems to be more natural and simple )

Transnuclear Inc. (TN) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AREVA North America that offers total system solutions for used fuel/radioactive waste management, and comprehensive transportation services for the entire nuclear fuel cycle. TN is the market leader in both sectors because of cutting-edge engineering capabilities.
No other Dry Storage Cask System is as versatile as NUHOMS®, Transnuclear's flagship product. The system is robust, practical and simple to operate. It uses advanced technology — an engineered Dry Shielded Canister and Horizontal Storage Module — but supports a low life cycle cost. Currently, NUHOMS® offers the highest capacity, burnup, heat load, thermal and seismic options available in the U.S. today.
Available for at reactor storage of both BWR and PWR used fuel, NUHOMS® offers the nuclear industry several key advantages:
All NUHOMS® DSCs are designed for offsite shipping using Transnuclear's cutting-edge MP197HB transportation package. For special applications, Transnuclear can also provide metal storage casks.
Transnuclear offers an integrated logistics model that combines transportation know-how with packaging design expertise in a single offering that provides a one-stop, holistic solution for commercial and government customers in North America. Services include:
Designed for the U.S. EPR™ reactor, Transnuclear's NUSTOR™ used fuel racks are adaptable for use in all reactor types, offering customers flexible fuel management options and next generation technology.
NUSTOR™ racks utilize Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) poison material for criticality control. Our MMCs do not require extrusion, use a more corrosion resistant matrix alloy, and reduce dissimilar metal contact. As a result, TN has eliminated the major causes of pitting corrosion in other MMCs and consequently eliminated the need to anodize.
Design and licensing are underway and the first NUSTOR™ rack will be installed in a U.S. reactor pool in 2013.
Innovative technology. Practical execution. From the workhorse NUHOMS™ storage system to advanced engineered products, Transnuclear's designers have licensed a range of casks that today meet all the used fuel storage needs of US utility and government customers.
Cutting edge engineering products include the AREVA Automated Welding System, NUSTOR™ rack, MP197HB, and NUHOMS® Dry Shielded Canisters and Horizontal Storage Modules that offer the highest capacity, burnup, heat load, thermal and seismic options available.
For many utilities, used fuel loading is not a routine activity. With the Transnuclear pool-to-pad team, utilities receive a proven, comprehensive used fuel management solution that minimizes cost and risk. Services include fuel loading, handling and inspection; procedures and training; crew and equipment mobilization; and ISFSI design, construction and startup.
Today, U.S. reactor operators face limited options for disposal of irradiated reactor components. The NUHOWS system provides an ideal on-site interim storage solution for Class B and C irradiated reactor hardware components such as control rod blades, jet pumps and fuel channels.
NUHOWS is designed intentionally to mirror TN's proven NUHOMS® Dry Shielded Canister storage system. The Rad Waste Container, like the DSC, is stored in a Horizontal Storage Module and transportable via TN's MP197HB shipping package. In addition, the RWC minimizes size reduction requirements and under water component segmentation, and allows for multiple loadings. One RWC accommodates up to a decade of irradiated components.
AREVA helps its customers to fully benefit from the energy potential of their used fuel by recycling it. This option also enables them to condition their final waste and to reduce the volume and radiotoxicity.

Storm Update: Please Clear Fire Hydrants, Driveways for Safety
The town of Burlington is asking residents to help the DPW and fire department by clearing fire hydrants.
Now that the snow has ended the Town of Burlington is asking residents to help keep their neighborhoods safe. In a notice posted on the town's web site, the town is asking residents to help the fire department and department of public works in clearing fire hydrants. "If one is located near your home we are asking you to help us by clearing snow from around the hydrant (3 foot circle all around)" the notice states. As reported on Patch with an interview with Fire Chief Steve Yetman during a 2011 storm, there are roughly 700 hundred town-owned fire hydrants and 400 privately-owned hydrants spread around the town of Burlington. The notice from the town also advises residents to be careful if walking or driving the streets in town. "The DPW …

NEW YORK — Thousands of teenagers who can't take their cellphones to school have another option, courtesy of a burgeoning industry of sorts in always-enterprising New York City: paying a dollar a day to leave it in a truck that's parked nearby.
Students might resent an expense that adds up to as much as $180 a year, but even so, leaving a phone at one of the trucks in the morning and then picking it up at the end of the day has become as routine for city teenagers as getting dressed and riding the morning-rush subway.
"Sometimes it's a hassle because not everyone can afford it," said Kelice Charles, a freshman at Gramercy Arts High School in Manhattan. "But then again, it's a living."
Cellphones and other devices, such as iPods and iPads, are banned in all New York City public schools, but the rule is widely ignored except in the 88 buildings that have metal detectors. Administrators at schools without detectors tell students, "If we don't see it, we don't know about it."
Schools where violence is considered a risk have metal detectors to spot weapons, but they also spot phones. They include the Washington Irving Educational Complex in the bustling Union Square area, a cluster of small high schools housed in a massive century-old building that used to be one big high school.
The trucks that collect the cellphones have their own safety issues — one was held up in the Bronx in June, and some 200 students lost their phones. That could be why one operator near Washington Irving refused to speak to a reporter recently.
A converted disability-access van that's parked a block away on school days is painted bright blue and labeled "Pure Loyalty Electronic Device Storage." The owner is Vernon Alcoser, 40, who operates trucks in three of the city's five boroughs.
Alcoser would not comment, even though the names of news outlets that have run stories about Pure Loyalty are affixed to his trucks. Pure Loyalty employees chatted but would not give their names as students from the Washington Irving complex lined up on a drizzly morning to surrender their phones.
"Next, next, have the phone off, have the money out," an employee yelled as the teens texted and listened to music until the last possible second. At the truck window, each student exchanged a phone and a dollar for a numbered yellow ticket.
"It's not that much of a hassle unless it's really crowded," said Gramercy Arts sophomore Chelsea Clouden. Continued...
"My whole four years I've been putting my phone in this truck, and it's been great," said Melquan Thompson, a senior at the High School for Language and Diplomacy. "Only a dollar. It's not bad."
The cellphone trucks appear to be unique to New York City.
"That is hilarious," said Debora Carrera, a high school principal in Philadelphia who had never heard of a phone storage truck. "Wow. It is very strange."
At Carrera's school, Kensington Creative and Performing Arts High School, students operate a cellphone storage room where phones can be dropped off in the morning at no charge and picked up after school.
For many teens, it would be unthinkable to leave the devices at home all day, Carrera said. "Their phone is like a family member," she said. "It's like a pet. They love it."
For parents, the phone may be the only way of communicating with a teen who commutes two hours to school and gets home at 8 p.m., after sports practice.
"In this day and age, it's ridiculous that the Department of Education doesn't allow us to store them on site," said Robin Klueber, the PTA president at Frank McCourt High School on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Frank McCourt, named for the late writer and teacher, shares a metal-detector building with several other schools. Some students store their phones in a truck, and others use a nearby shoe store, Klueber said. She wishes the city Department of Education would let the PTA run a storage room instead.
"In this day and age, especially when many of us still feel the scare of 9/11, students should be able to travel with their phones," Klueber said. "Many of these kids come from other boroughs and participate in after-school activities where they are far from home late into the evening."
The Department of Education did not comment on whether lockboxes in schools were being considered. Spokeswoman Marge Feinberg said only, "We have a longstanding policy that does not allow students to use cellphones in schools. It is in Chancellor's Regulation A-412, and there are no plans to change this." Continued...

Blue Lizard is a great product I have used for a few years. It is a good sunblock, doesn't irritate my skin and doesn't need to be replenished as often as some.
The Blue Lizard SPF 30+ Face Sunscreen is a great, non-greasy sunscreen that is easy to get rubbed in without much trouble. Great for even sensitive skin. I've tried the Sensitive skin and Sport formula as well and would recommend those as well!

Volleyball: Familiar foes: Hebron, Coppell set to meet for fourth time and fourth consecutive playoff tilt
By Justin Thomas, email@example.com
During regular season competition, Hebron's volleyball team was one of just two programs to defeat defending state champion Coppell.
But the Cowgirls repaid the favor two weeks later - a victory that paved the way to the District 5-5A Title - and also topped the Lady Hawks during non-district competition at the Pearland Tournament.
Tuesday in Lewisville, the teams squared off for a fourth occasion (results not available as of press time), only this time with the highest of stakes as the winner punched its ticket to the UIL Class 5A Region I Tournament.
Boisterous crowds are nothing new to Hebron and Coppell, which will not only be facing off for the fourth time this year, but for the fourth consecutive postseason, with the winner of the previous two playoff meetings continuing on to win state.
"It's going to be a battle," said Julie Green, Coppell head coach. "Hebron is a team we are familiar with and they're always prepared and are well-schooled. We can't wait to play."
Hebron advanced to the regional quarterfinals for a fifth consecutive year by virtue of defeating Euless Trinity in the bi-district round last Tuesday (25-13, 25-14, 22-25, 25-17) and Cedar Hill Friday (23-25, 25-17, 25-15, 25-15).
In the win against the Lady Longhorns, the Lady Hawks overcome a sloppy first set.
"We were a little jittery at first," Keeney said. "We made too many mistakes, either on our serves or just hitting out of bounds or into the net."
The Lady Hawks were also adjusting early on to the athleticism of Cedar Hill, including outside hitter Briana Holman, who has committed to LSU.
"She's legit," Keeney said. "We had a tough time handling her, but we were able to get some great blocks and we had some impressive digs, because a lot of her kills are coming straight down at the floor. She can really get up and swing."
Loren Williams led Hebron with 12 kills, while Micaela Spann had 10 and Kendall Patterson had seven.
"After the first set, we cleaned it up and got busy," Keeney said. "We took leads early in the games and had comfortable margins to work with. We were serving aggressively and out-ball-controlled them."
Jordan Yauch recorded six aces, while Banner Rodgers and Marissa Salazar had four apiece. Patterson and Rodgers had 14 and 10 digs, respectively, while the Lady Hawks had six blocks as a team.
While Hebron got out to a slow start against Cedar Hill, the reverse was the case against Trinity when the Lady Hawks rattled off the game's first eight points and never looked back.
"We came out fired up," Keeney said. "It was the opposite of the match against Cedar Hill. We fizzled just a little bit in the third set, but we came back strong in the fourth."
Coppell, meanwhile, won its first two playoff matches by convincing sweeps.
The Cowgirls pasted Grapevine in the bi-district round (25-7, 25-6, 25-9) before cruising past Midlothian Friday in the area round (25-13, 25-9, 25-10).
"We were passing the ball very well," Green said. "When we receive and pass well, we can side out at a good percentage and during those playoff matches we were siding out at 80 percent. We didn't allow our opponents to get on any runs and that's been one of our biggest goals during the season."
The Cowgirls also benefited from facing a pair of defensive-oriented squads.
"That was really good for us," Green said. "We look to put the ball away after three touches and both Grapevine and Midlothian did a good job of digging and prolonging the points. We had to work for ours and it helps to go against scrappy teams because they can give us difficulties."
A balanced Hebron team also has the ability to keep points alive, as well as offensive options to challenge Coppell's defense.
"Hebron is similar to Grapevine in a way," Green said. "We watch a lot of film to prepare specifically for our opponents. We've seen Hebron so many times we have a good idea of what we want to do and are confident in our rotations and some of the other smaller adjustments."
Regardless of the victor, both Hebron and Coppell should be prepared moving forward after coming out of a district that featured three of the eight regional quarterfinalists (Flower Mound lost Monday in the third round against Colleyville Heritage).
"I'm not surprised at all," Green said. "I thought coming in we were in the toughest district in the region. When you look at the last couple of weeks with some of the things we were dealing with and to still finish first in the district is incredible. It's made us all tougher and more prepared.
"We feel good because we have a nice balance of young kids that bring something new and fresh, but also experienced leaders who can keep us on an even keel. It's a good mix and they can all step in and play."

Reading Victim in Child Sex Crime Linked To Wakefield Day Care Business
John Burbine, 49, is a level 1 sex offender accused of filming himself in various sexual activities with young children.
A Wakefield husband and wife are facing numerous charges in connection with an illegal day care service that subjected at least 13 children - one of them just days old - to horrific sexual abuse that was recorded on video.
On Thursday, Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone announced the indictments of Wakefield residents John Burnbine, 49, and his wife, Marian Burbine, 46. The two were proprietors of the Waterfall Education Center, which reportedly offered home-based services to clients ranging from day care to group care and tutoring and babysitting. The business reportedly had some employees as well, although Leone indicated that no complicity has been found at this point among them.
"In my 14 years in Middlesex County, I have never seen a case this bad," Leone told area media at a Thursday press conference in Woburn.
Combined, the two defendants were indicted on more than 100 charges. John Burbine is facing 40 counts of aggravated forcible rape of a child, subsequent offense, 17 counts of indecent assault and battery on a child, 12 counts of posing a child in a state of nudity, 11 counts of posing a child in sexual conduct, 13 counts of child pornography, 2 counts of dissemination of material harmful to a minor, and one count of operating an unlicensed day care program.
For her part, Marian Burbine faces 6 counts of reckless endangerment of a child, and two counts of operating an unlicensed day care business.
According to the DA, this case covers abuse allegations occurring from August, 2010 to August 2012. Child victims allegedly ranged in age from 8 days old to 3.5 years old. The victims are reportedly from Reading, Stoneham, Medford, Newton, Melrose, Woburn, and Waltham.
A complaint against Mr. Burbine received back in July was also deemed not prosecutable at the time, reported Leone - but it also gave authorities the break they needed to keep the investigation of the day care service going. That's because once they knew about the illegal day care service, authorities were able to get a cease and desist order for the business, as well as a search warrant for the defendants' home and business. During this search, Leone reported that a large number of videos and photos allegedly showing the abuse were discovered. Mrs. Burbine was charged on October 1, while Mr. Burbine was arrested September 28, said Leone.
For now, Leone said that Mrs. Burbine is not charged with knowingly allowing the abuse to happen. However, he noted that along with allegedly running the illegal daycare service, she would have been aware of abuse allegations made against her husband in 2005 and 2009, which turned out not to be prosecutable, as well as his record as a sex offender. Leone suggested that in those matters, the very young age of the alleged victims may have made prosecution impractical.
For up-to-the minute updates on this story and others, follow Reading-North Reading Patch on Facebook and Twitter, or sign-up for our e-mail newsletter. |
Many of these assaults also allegedly took place at the homes of the victims - apparently this business was set up more like a babysitting service where they would go to clients' homes. The two have a residence on Second Street in Wakefield and their business address was on Lincoln Street. The two reportedly do not have children of their own.
Leone also noted that in 1989, Mr. Burbine was convicted of indecent assault and battery, but that under state law, was classified as a Level 1 Sex Offender - which is the kind deemed least likely to repeat.
"It is our firm intention that he will be convicted for these crimes and he will never get out of jail," said Leone, noting that some of the victims are "irreparably damaged."
Mrs. Burbine is due back in court Dec. 20 while a court date for Mr. Burbine is not yet established.
And while authorities so far are investigation abuse against 13 children, Leone noted that "scores" of children had been in the care of the Burbines at some point. With that in mind, those who still have allegations to report involving this matter are encouraged to come forward, added the District Attorney.

If they are found guilty I can not put into words what I would like to see happen to them !!!
7:34 am on Friday, December 7, 2012
How is this possible in the state of MA? Years ago when my 3 children were young, I had a "family daycare" in my home. Before computers and the licensing was very strict..which I welcomed, hoping the families felt comfortable and safe with the environment..Who in MA is responsible for protecting the children that go into someones home for daycare these days? This guy was accused in 2005 and 2009 and now it's 2012.......this is a very sick couple. My heart goes out to the families, I can't even imagine what they are going through......
10:14 am on Friday, December 7, 2012
How is this possible in the state of MA? Well part of the problem is that the state kept the fact that he was on the sex offender registry a secret. If that information had been public, I would think this would have come out sooner.
10:15 am on Friday, December 7, 2012
And anyone that's against the death penatly in a case like this deserves it themselves.
Joe T. Plumber

(1) How is this possible in the State of Massachusetts? Hmmmmm...Rob because we live in the most liberal state in the country and we tolerate this behavior. Nothing is going to happen to John Burbine if he is convicted other than jail time, and he will get out some day. (2) Anyone against the death penalty in this case deserves it themselves!.......Hmmmmm.....We abolished the death penalty some time ago in Massachusetts!......Rob....You would have to execute more than half the people in this state who dissagree with you! Rob...Tell the truth!....You voted for Obama didn't you? It's ok....What is happening here is Rob is that you are being transformed from a Democrat into a Republican...Like a caterpillar blossoming into a beautiful butterfly...The transformation begins once age of awareness sets in! Shame what happened to those kids!
12:47 pm on Friday, December 7, 2012
I was responding to Kelly's comment above where she asked "How is this possible...". Then I tried to explain how it's possible (obviously not clearly). Not an Obama voter here, and I stand by my comment for anyone that doesn't think he should be executed.

Joe, I'm disgusted that you could even joke about this. This isn't the time to get into a political argument of Democrats & Republicans. You seem to be a heartless, unsympathetic person. These children have been victimized, and you find it funny to come on the Patch and say, "what a shame!" Imagine if it was your 8 day old child who was abused.

My question is - what is the state really doing with our tax dollars? It is obviously not monitoring it's own drug lab, nor drug compounders, nor sex offenders, nor day care safety, nor taking pains to properly qualify the state saftey commissioner (the Governor didn't even know who hired her!!!!!), nor the probation department, nor public transportation (T) saftey. It goes on and on and on ..........

Dave, that is an important question and let me see if i can address your concerns. You see, your tax dollars (your wealth) are being redistrubuted to help other more deserving people that are less fortunate than you. If there is anything left over well I will see to it that we organize a committee to look into your concerns. In the meantime please keep working hard because tax time comes right after the holidays. I want to make sure there is something left so I can hand out free phones at the next election!

Howie is Joe is right. That individual if convicted will go to a place segregated from all others because he is at risk. He is going to be put in with his own kind just like the coach at Penn State. That is not punishment. So long as there is no fear of corporal punishment or the death penalty then this state will continue to see these kinds of crimes. Remember the Fells Acre Day Care Center. History tends to repeat itself.

Out of touch! Make them aware! Derrick they just got re-elected in November. The one guy (Scott Brown R) from Wakefield that could understand the plight some of these kids will have to deal with because he was molested as a child, was not re-elected. He could have led the fight for reform but lost to a woman that lied and said she was part indian to gain sympathy votes.
Derrick Hudson
1:39 pm on Friday, December 7, 2012
The laws in this state needs to be updated n enforced. Lawmakers must take the steps now to rewrite the laws n provide the strictest penalties allowed to discourage this reprehensible behavior.
Anthony Rosario
1:43 pm on Friday, December 7, 2012
That is the whole point Howie. The controlling party on law and punishment in Massachusetts has been the Democrats! As sarcastic as Joe's message may have come across he is right. Put me with Joe and Walter.

As long as 'Free them all Deval' is in office... Nothing will change. I bet the wife gets a slap on the wrist because she will probably get immunity for flipping on her husband.
The guy will probably get a private air conditioned cell in the summer and heated in the winter... He wont be able to be in general population because it will be a security risk for him. The cell will have cable (probably HD) so he can watch Nickolodeon and the Disney channel all friggin' day so he can feed his sick perversions. I like to think things will change... But they won't.
Glenn Thompson
12:27 pm on Saturday, December 8, 2012
As reported last night on the news Deval Patrick proposed a law change over a year ago that would allow a level one sex offender info to be released to the public which would have potentially affected this case. The bill got lost in the legislature as politics took over (I will support your bill but you have to support mine) and it died. Sad to say because our laws lagged behind what the feds required us to have we lost $350,000 in Federal grant money. I don't blame the governor on this, it was our democratically controlled legislature on Beacon Hill.

2:39 pm on Saturday, December 8, 2012
Sorry, but you AND the governor are very naive.. Not only does the sex offender registry NOT work, but the existence of it not only puts the public MORE at risk , it is also a waste of BILLIONS of dollars of TAXPAYERS MONEY! The more people labeled "sex offender" the more millions the SORB gets to pay for the cushy 200K jobs of the incompetent people on the SORB. THEY are the problem. Last I checked one of the board members was a manicurist, and another, a house painter. These incompetents are so busy labeling people that don't deserve to be labeled, to keep the money coming in, the "sex offenders" who are ACTUALLY dangerous slip through the cracks, and get away with it, because they know someone.. The sex offender registry should be done away with, and the laws should be changed for child rapists to NEVER get out of prison. ACCORDING TO THE SORB'S RULES, a child molester is NOT a level 1. Level 1 is for someone urinating on the side of the highway! And you want these people's names to be made public?? Well hopefully, you or the governor are on the highway someday and can't make it to the bathroom, with a state cop near by! Oh, but then, I forgot, doctors who rape women are classified level 1, and cops who rape children don't have to register at all, so obviously the governor won't have to either.

This artwork is currently on display in Gallery 405
This hemispherical bowl may have been made by blowing molten glass into an open mold (though possibly it was free-blown); subsequently, four rows of oblong-to-round facets were wheel-cut and polished. The thick glass, originally pale green, has lost much of its surface color and gained extensive iridescence through weathering.Faceted bowls such as this one are characterized by uniformity of shape, size, and arrangement of the facets in four or five rows. They represent the most widespread type of late Sasanian glass vessel, found in excavations of Mesopotamian and Iranian sites dating from the fifth to seventh century A.D. Some examples—probably carried along the Silk Road to the Far East by Persian merchants and traveling embassies—have been found in Japanese contexts, namely in the sixth-century tomb of the emperor Ankan and in the Shoso-in Treasure at Nara, which was assembled by the emperor Shomu in the eighth century.

MENA, Ark. (AP) — Authorities have arrested a 17-year-old girl in connection with the death of an 80-year-old man whose body was found in a ditch.
Mena police detective Brandon Martin says authorities found the body of Loyd Cole in a ditch near Gillham Avenue at about 11 a.m. Monday. Martin tells the Southwest Times Record that police consider the death a homicide, but they haven't released how Cole died.
Martin says police arrested a 17-year-old girl in connection with the death. The teen, whose name hasn't been released, is being held in the Polk County jail on a $500,000 bond.
Police declined to release details of the case, saying it's still under investigation.

Baseball: Phillies select Glenview's Serritella in fourth round
Updated: July 8, 2012 6:37PM
A broken wrist sidelined Chris Serritella his entire junior season at Southern Illinois.
It turned out to be a blessing for the Salukis first baseman.
Serritella's second chance at a big-league career came Tuesday when the Philadelphia Phillies drafted the 6-foot-3, 205-pounder with the 158th pick, the last selection of the fourth round.
Although Serritella had thought about starting his pro career this time last year, he wasn't selected until the 31st round.
The 2008 Loyola graduate decided to go back to the Carbondale campus for his senior season.
"Best decision I ever made," the Glenview resident said. "I took the last season to really learn the game, all the little things. I also got my swing back. I was able to better my talent.
"I became more mature as a baseball player and as a person."
Serritella was one of the best hitters to ever play for the Salukis. He set single-season records this spring with 24 doubles and 156 total bases.
Serritella led the Missouri Valley Conference in batting average (.389), on-base percentage (.461) and slugging percentage (.667). He tied for first with 13 homers. The power-hitting infielder also drove in a team-best 61 runs in 58 games.
"That was my best year," he said. "In the past, I had been inconsistent with my swing. I would have it one weekend and lose it the next. I felt like it was there throughout the season."
Serritella said he planned to sit down Tuesday night and start negotiating his contract. He said he hopes to be on the road somewhere next week.
"This is something I dreamt about as a kid," he said. "Once I got to high school, it was about getting a college scholarship. Then, the possibility of playing pro ball came along. The last two years it became more of a reality.
"This is an exciting time for me and my family. I'm excited about the next phase of my career."
