|Group is active.
|First Attack
|December 2008: ASWJ attempts to take control of the town Guri Ceel in the Galguduud province from Al-Shabab. However, Al-Shabab remains in power in the town (15 killed). [1]
|Last Attack
|June 15, 2011: ASWJ attacks and takes control of Al-Shabab's posts in Dhirimaadie near Beledweyne. Two ASWJ members died while the rest of the casualties were Al-Shabab fighters (9 killed, 11 wounded). [2]
|July 18, 2012
Ahlu Sunna Wal Jama (ASWJ), which can be translated as "The Companions of the Prophet," is a Sufi paramilitary group created in 1991 to protect Sufis Muslims in Somalia. [3] The group felt that their version of Islam was under attack by the radical Islamist theology of groups such as Al Ittihad Al Islamia (AIAI). ASWJ fought off anti-Sufi attacks by calling for a rejuvenation of Sufism and the union of the three primary Sufi sects in Somalia: the Qadiriyya, the Salihiyya, and the Ahmadiyaa. [4]
In 2009, ASWJ renounced its former non-violent stance, took up arms, and emerged as one of the country's key players in fighting the Islamist groups Al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam. [5]
ASWJ signed a power sharing agreement with the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia at a meeting in the Ethiopian capital in February 2010. The group agreed to help in the fight against Al-Shabab in exchange for cabinet positions. [6] However, discord has emerged as ASWJ members claim that the government has failed to meet its promises.
Despite bickering with the government, ASWJ is still recognized by the international community as an important ally to Somalia's TFG and thus was invited in April 2011 to attend the U.N.-organized consultation meeting in Nairobi. However, the group joined the TFG in formally declining the invitation, decrying the gathering as "meaningless" and one that will "only provide unsuccessful results because they hold a different agenda than the U.N." [7] Still, some ASWJ leaders did attend the conference, such as ASWJ spokesman, who believed the conference was an opportunity for the group to express its views and concern over the TFG and Al Shabab. The internal disagreement over attendance along with fighting over weapons and leadership caused a split in Ahlu Sunnah, a topic discussed at the conference and considered a large threat to regional stability. [8]
Ahlu Sunna is considered an integral factor to the political and security situation in Somalia and has thus been visited by several international delegations, including a Norwegian delegation in January 2011, and the Ethiopian Military Officers in March 2011.[9]
ASWJ's leadership dynamic is somewhat unclear. On February 22, 2009 the group announced that Sheikh Omar Sheikh Muhammad Farah was the head of the Administration of Central Somalia, a structure used to control the Galguduud province. However, on March 15, 2010 Sheikh Muhammad Sheikh Hassan was behind the power-sharing agreement signed with the Somali government. Thus, in mid-April 2012, ASWJ released a statement calling Hassan the leader of the organization while contending that Farah was to be the group's spokesman.[10]
Ahlu Sunna adheres to a mystical Sufi sect in Islam that appeared in the Horn of Africa in the 15th century. [24] The group's initial ideology was nonviolent and worked to unite three "tariqas," or "paths" of Sufi Islam: the Qadiriyya, Salihiyya, and Ahmadiyya. [25] The group also espouses ideology to counter the Al Ittihad Al Islamia and the Islamic Union. The group fights against Al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam because it believes that their interpretation of Islam is corrupt and illegitimate. Sheikh Omar Mohamed Farah, a leader in the group, explained that, "we are fighting in the name of God to eliminate those who are propagating a misinterpretation of this religion in the country." [26]
According to ASWJ commanders and locals, 1,500 troops are located in the central region of Somalia while about 500 fighters are in the Gedo region. [27]
Ahlu Sunna has received support from Ethiopia in the form of training and weapons since December 2008. [30] It is estimated that around 1,000 fighters trained inside Ethiopia for four months and then moved to operate in central Somalia. [31] However, ASWJ has also complained of Ethiopian troops forcing ASWJ group members to disarm [32] after an ASWJ group officer was charged with smuggling weapons over the Ethiopian and Kenyan borders into Somalia. [33]
ASWJ formed to protect Sufi Muslims from groups that espouse radical Islamic ideology. The group strongly opposed Al Ijtihad Al Islamia (AIA), but relied on non-violent tactics including clerical preaching for the revitalization of Sufi sects and the unification of Sufi religious orders. [37] However in 2009, ASWJ began using force in response to the emergence of extremist, Islamic groups such as Al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam, who have directly targeted Sufis. {[38] Overall, the group's main tactic involves attacking Al-Shabab bases and overtaking villages from the control of rival groups.[39]
ASWJ signed an alliance with the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG) in 2010, but conflict between the two has emerged. A preliminary agreement was signed on February 18, 2010 which allocated to ASWJ five ministerial posts, five deputy-ministerial posts (out of the present 39 positions), as well as positions as directors, general of ministries, ambassadors, consular officers, and military and cultural attaches. [40]
Yet, the degree of incorporation of ASWJ within the government is unclear. TFG minister of planning and international cooperation, Abdiwali Mohamed Ali, told BBC that the name "Ahlu Sunna Walijama" was just a label for the government militia, as "a number of senior ministers and military officials within the TFG and are well represented." [41] However, ASWJ contends that the group has only one senior figure in the TFG cabinet.
ASWJ has made an effort to organize in the center of Somalia, which is perceived by some as a potential threat to the TFG. The group established an administration for the central region of Somalia independent of the TFG. [42] Some sources contend that ASWJ "presents a political, military, and ideological challenge to the TFG," while others claim the group has no intention of competing with the TFG. In a meeting on June 13, 2009 commander Sheikh Omar Sheikh Mohammed Farah explained that ASWJ had "no political interest or agendas," and that its primary goal was to "help the government restore national security after eighteen years of war."[43]
In January 2013, ASWJ and the Galmudug administration signed an agreement to form a joint administration in certain regions in Central Somalia. [44] Galmudug is an independent region in Somalia founded in 2006 and known internationally for its high rates of kidnapping and piracy. [45] Control of the state is divided up between warlords and different clans, with the ASWJ controlling significant parts of the region. [46]
Ahlu Sunna was founded to protect Sufis from Islamic extremists, and is therefore a rival to Hizbul Islam and Al-Shabab. ASWJ fights Al-Shabab for control of central Somalia and criticizes the group for using tactics that will hurt civilians. For example, in June 2013, ASWJ accused Al-Shabab of recruiting child soldiers from the region of Galgadud. [58] In addition to internal conflicts, ASWJ has faced a threat from the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF). ASWJ has an antagonistic relationship with ONLF. In January
2012 a fight broke out between ONLF and ASWJ troops. According to an ASWJ
official, tension with the ONLF has been continuous as "any time the ONLF crosses the border they carry out brutal attacks and torture the residents accusing
them of spying for ASWJ and the Ethiopian government." [61]

It's going to be a happy new year for comedian Andi Smith. The Wisconsin native will feature for fellow comic Chad Daniels this week at Go Bananas, a gig she's excited about. Daniels hand-picked his feature act. "He asked me to do it and I was like, 'Yeah, no problem, that will be really fun,' " Smith says. Now living in St. Louis, Smith kind of backed in to stand-up comedy. A creative director for an advertising agency out of college, she found herself working until 10 at night while her colleagues, married with children, left at 6.
Looking for something to get her out of work at a reasonable hour, she decided to go watch open-mic comedy.
"I wasn't going to actually perform," she explains. "I was going to go and watch other people publicly fail. I thought that would be fun." The club's doorman noticed that she was a frequent patron and asked if she wanted to go up and tell jokes. As it turned out, he was hitting on her, but she went up anyway and did pretty well. Ten years on, she has a unique voice and is quite hilarious. She owes her style to her upper-Midwest upbringing. "A lot of it is just my personality," she says. "I tend to be sarcastic. My whole family is really sarcastic. I'm from Wisconsin, where people tend to be blunter." Smith performs with Daniels Thursday-Sunday at Go Bananas in Montgomery. 513-984-9288.

The Dodgers and Braves begin their NLDS Thursday evening (8:30 p.m. ET, TBS). The Linemakers on Sporting News offer our betting analysis and picks for Game 1 and the series.
Game 1 starters: Kershaw (16-9, 1.83 ERA) vs. Medlen (15-12, 3.11 ERA)
Game 1 price: Dodgers -145, Total: 6 (under -115)
Game 1 outlook: The Braves had been waiting for the Kris Medlen from last September to show up, and he finally did, going 5-0 in his last six regular-season starts and allowing only four runs in 43 innings. This is a great opportunity to take plus-money against Clayton Kershaw and feel good about it. While he's one of the best pitchers in the game, Kershaw has been one of the worst pitchers to bet on this season.
If betting Kershaw all season long for the same unit, you'd be down 6.6 units. It's not in the same category as Justin Verlander (-21.8 units), but it should give you confidence to go the bet window and place a wager on the Braves.
Look for a low-scoring game with the Braves coming out on top as the best bullpen in baseball closes the deal.
Game 1 pick: Braves, 3-2 (+135)
Season series: Braves, 5-2
Series price: Dodgers -160
Series outlook: The Braves may have won the season series, but they didn't face L.A. after late June when the Dodgers' fireworks began and they started charging up the standings in the NL West. The Braves' best opportunity is in Game 1 against Kershaw, but Zack Greinke should take care of Game 2, and from there, the Dodgers should take over the series. It'll be a tough battle, and maybe the best series in this round of the MLB playoffs, but the Dodgers have too many weapons.
Our only concern is the .500 ball the Dodgers played down the stretch while the Braves closed out the season strong. Although we feel the Dodgers are the most equipped to win the World Series, it's hard to recreate the midseason magic after injuries and complacency have taken over.
Still, it's worth taking a shot against a team like the Braves that hasn't won a playoff series since 2001.
Prediction: Dodgers in five games

Dancing in the dark
My neighbours are used to seeing me out with my camera in all states of dress (and undress).
So, it was no surprise when the next-door neighbour phoned to tell me that there was an interesting sky outside.
We rushed up the hill to see an eerie glow set the water alight with a purple fire.
The key to photographing sunsets is to wait
And listen to the music of nature
While the sky unfolds itself in colour.
And, if we're paying close attention, we can learn from children
Who know how to dance in the dark
Long before adults tell them that there is no music.
For more dancing skies, please visit: Skywatch.

October 20, 2011 at 19:24
Always such beauty when I arrive here. And isn't that so true … children dancing in the dark!
October 20, 2011 at 20:01
Your words have a profound ring of truth to them and the shot of the child with arms outstretched inspires one to dance.
October 20, 2011 at 20:04
Phenomenal color–and such wonderful images of your daughter (you should frame both, but especially the jumping for joy for her; a bulwark against the age of doubt. May she be among the lucky and never doubt…)
Thank you.
October 20, 2011 at 21:12
Lovely post and great advice.

October 20, 2011 at 23:29
You have obviously trained your neighbors well, Fi. To watch a child greet the sun and sing its praise is quite satisfying to me. I sometimes see that purple glow over my mountains, but to see it staining your lake is awesome!
October 21, 2011 at 00:13
My word – you sure know how to make my heart miss a beat, with your fantastic shots and words.

October 21, 2011 at 01:35
What more can I say than – just beautiful!
October 21, 2011 at 01:49
When you said, "Children, who know how to dance in the dark" I immediately thought of my babies dancing even as they first stood, clutching my fingers, bouncing up and down in joy. No music to be found. So true that they stop dancing as they grow older when adults tell them there is no music. Beautiful pictures as always!
October 21, 2011 at 03:28
All kinds of gorgeousness! Love!
October 21, 2011 at 03:53

I used to like Massa and his engineer, thought they were funny together, but they worked and Massa put in good performances.. But ever since the "Alonso is faster than you farce", I lost complete respect for them both and Ferrari's image sunk even further than I could imagine.
His performances have largely been sub-par, in a car capable of much, much, more. Alonso is good, but Massa has made him look like a God of racing.. Which I don't buy frankly.

Strike at Johns Hopkins put on hold
A strike by workers at Johns Hopkins Hospital initially planned for Friday night has been put on hold.
See also: Johns Hopkins workers to end three-day strike without deal
Gov. Martin O'Malley announced a "cooling off period" between the 1199 SEIU union and the hospital in a statement Thursday.
"Today I urged 1199 SEIU and the Johns Hopkins Hospital management to take a one week cooling off period. 1199 SEIU has agreed not to strike at this time -- I appreciate both sides' willingness to continue negotiating in good faith," O'Malley said in the statement.
The union says their goal is get the minimum up to $15 for workers with 15 years of experience. The hospital has said the raise sought by workers is not in line with what's needed to stay fiscally responsible.
The hospital said it was ready to deal with the strike by asking non-union employees to fill positions held by striking workers.

JFK Bogs Down JetBlue's On-Time Stats
In July, JetBlue was dragging.
The discount carrier sank to near the bottom of the Bureau of Transportation's monthly listing of on-time rates for U.S. carriers.
The BTS ranked the New York-based airline — beloved by some for its spiffy seat-back satellite televisions — 18th out of 19 carriers for on-time arrivals in July. During that month, 64.6% of JetBlue flights arrived on time. Only Delta subsidiary Comair posted a worse on-time rate, with 63.3%. Pinnacle, a carrier that flies regional jets in the United States and Canada for both Northwest and Delta, posted the top July on-time arrival rate, 85.6%.
JetBlue's on-time rate for July improved slightly over June, when 64.9% of the carrier's flights arrived on time. But the airline's on-time performance was worse than the overall 75.7% average on-time figure among all carriers (which, by the way, improved from 70.8% in June).
In a brief e-mail to the Terminal, JetBlue spokeswoman Jenny Dervin suggested that the perpetually snarled airspace around New York's Kennedy airport plays a significant role in the company's on-time performance, or lack thereof.
"As New York's hometown airline, most JetBlue aircraft touch JFK each day. The long-term solution to congestion in the Northeast is a modernized air traffic control system. We believe top priorities should be ATC efficiency and improvements to create increased capacity. We look forward to working with the FAA on operational enhancements at JFK, which we expect would enable us to improve our on-time performance overall," Dervin wrote.
The situation in July was indeed ugly at JFK. Of the 4,762 arrivals JetBlue reported in July at JFK, only 60.1% were on time. Those numbers were better than the statistics for overall performance at Kennedy, where just 57.4% of the arrivals tracked by the BTS arrived on time. At the country's largest airports, carriers posted an on-time rate of 74.9% in July, slightly worse than the 75.7% rate at all airports.
The bottom line? Resolving the airspace bottleneck over the New York area is going to be especially important for JetBlue passengers, given the carrier's reliance on JFK.
But it's unlikely officials will be able to detangle all that air traffic anytime soon, as the debates over possible solutions, such as the FAA's proposed auctions for flight times, continue to drag on. On the upside, at least JetBlue is beefing up dining options for its new JFK terminal, so you can grab a decent bite if you're caught waiting for your flight.

Mom bought me this little bike about 35 years ago. Just wanted to know something about it.It's kinda cool looking but I can't find anything on it.
It's a 16in. green 10 speed look with a coaster brake, single speed , Hard plastic seat. There is also a spot under the top tube (a cable guide) that would be for a hand brake cable or shifter cable.
Any info would be great...Thanks

In most years, primary elections are sleepy affairs that feature a few local tax issues and maybe one or two contested races. Then every four years the presidential campaigns come along, and everyone's focus is a little sharper.
Still, Ohio had little chance to make a difference this year when the presidential primaries were reconfigured into Super Tuesday on Feb. 5, ganging up more than 20 states into a mini-national election. Surely the Democratic and Republican nominees would be decided by March 4.
Not so fast, and stop calling me Shirley.
The well-documented battle between Barack Obama (link) and Hillary Clinton (link) arrives Tuesday with Ohio again being "The Decider." So get out and decide. Here's some helpful advice.
Democratic Presidential Primary: Barack Obama
History will be made this year no matter whether Sen. Hillary Clinton or Sen. Barack Obama is chosen to represent the Democratic Party in the general election. Americans will be one step closer to electing our first woman or first African-American president.
And so this primary battle is as much about themes and character as it is about specific policy proposals. The basic difference comes down to Clinton's experience as First Lady and senator vs. Obama's freshness.
You can argue over degrees of difference in their plans for the economy or for dealing with immigration, but Clinton and Obama aren't far apart on the solutions that interest progressives. So why do we favor Obama?
The federal government -- and the country in general -- needs real change now. After 20 years of Bush/Clinton/Bush presidencies, we just can't add four more years of another Clinton.
The bitter partisanship of Bill Clinton's two terms and the current President Bush's two terms has produced little progress in this country or around the world. It's difficult to see a Hillary Clinton presidency transcending the same kind of bitter recriminations and revenge.
Obama offers all the benefits of a fresh start and carries the hopes and dreams of millions of citizens who've said, "What's the use?" The day President Obama is inaugurated is the day the world changes -- and it's time. It's simply time.
Republican Presidential Primary: No endorsement
Sen. John McCain (link) clearly is within reach of the Republican Party's official nomination, and a win in Ohio might put him over the top. We wish him well and hope he finishes a distant second in November.
Democratic Primary for 2nd U.S. Congressional District: Victoria Wulsin
Indian Hill physician Victoria Wulsin (link) returns for her second run at the 2nd District, losing a very close battle in 2006 in her first general election experience.
U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt beat Wulsin 50.5-49.4 percent in what's considered a heavily Republican district.
Wulsin has competition in this primary election from Indian Hill attorney Steve Black, making his own first run for public office.
Known for her pledge not to accept the health insurance plan provided to members of Congress until there's serious health care reform, Wulsin has latched on to what's proving to be a popular issue in the presidential campaigns. As a doctor, she has genuine interest in and knowledge of how Americans struggle with health care issues.
She's also on board with Democrats nationally -- again, starting with the presidential campaigns -- in calling for immediate troop withdrawals from Iraq. It'll be interesting to see how that plays against Schmidt's ultra-patriotic image in this district.
Wulsin is ready to take on and defeat Schmidt in a rematch.
Republican Primary for 2nd U.S. Congressional District: No endorsement
Issue 10 (Cincinnati Public Schools Levy): Yes
This five-year levy provides additional operating funds for Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS), basically replacing the district's last new operating levy, which was passed in 2000 and has now expired. This tax is for 7.89 mills for every $1 valuation of your property, costing the owner of a $100,000 house $240 per year.
Last fall, CPS asked for a 9.95-mills levy and was defeated 58-42 percent. CityBeat endorsed a "yes" vote on that levy as well.
Issue 10 will raise an estimated $51.5 million per year to fund the school district's "emergency requirements." All Ohio school districts are required to come before voters to ask for both new and renewing tax levies; Cincinnati voters passed the district's renewing levy in 2004 and passed the district's one-time building construction tax levy in 2003.
As Margo Pierce points out in her story "Good Urban Schools" here, CPS is in better shape than at any time in recent memory. Test scores and graduation levels have improved, making Cincinnati one of the best performing big city districts in Ohio. Parents are involved in many schools, and new buildings are going up all over town.
There are a lot of negatives, starting with the projected $72 million deficit for next year. And there's the expected uncertainty surrounding the search for Superintendent Rosa Blackwell's successor.
Three new school board members were elected in November at the same time voters defeated the tax levy, showing the public's mood for change at the top and change in how the district approaches its finances. The board has come back to voters with a smaller levy request, and CityBeat supports it.
The district's students, parents and teachers deserve financial support now that they've demonstrated improved performance and are starting to move into new classroom facilities. There will always be bumps in the road for large urban school districts -- at least until the Ohio Legislature finally fixes the state's school funding system -- but Cincinnati Public Schools is near the top of the class.
Issue 17 (Cincinnati Zoo Levy): Yes
This five-year renewal levy asks for an increase in the previous levy rate and provides funds for maintaining the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. This tax is for 0.46 mill for every $1 valuation of your property, costing the owner of a $100,000 house $9.44 per year.
The five-year levy that's expiring now was for a rate of .4 mill and was approved by voters 66-34 percent in 2003. The Hamilton County Tax Levy Review Committee said the property tax increase requested by Issue 17 falls within the rate of inflation.
Issue 17 will raise an estimated $7.2 million per year to provide approximately 23 percent of the Zoo's annual operating budget. Tax proceeds can be used only for direct costs of Zoo operations in the feeding, care and health of animals; horticulture; and maintenance.
Hamilton County voters have supported a tax levy for the Zoo since 1982, though there was one year (1997) the levy failed due a dramatic increase in requested funds coupled with public concern over the organization's finances and management. Those concerns haven't returned during the tenure of the two most recent executive directors, including the current leader, Thane Maynard.
Maynard has a pragmatic agenda of continuing to create animal and plant exhibition space on the Zoo's land-locked acreage by moving more parking off-site. He and his staff have been good stewards of taxpayer funds -- which aren't used for these construction projects -- and CityBeat backs continued support of the Zoo.

Adding injury to insult
June 23, 2011
Genoa City — Last week was anything but ideal for the Genoa City Senior Legion squad. Along with three losses, the boys received some disheartening news on Monday. One of the club's top pitchers, Badger junior Colton Andresen, broke his ankle at a basketball camp and will miss the rest of the season. Head coach Gary Kukla said several pitchers must step up in the young star's absence.

Recognizing the bigger picture
June 23, 2011
Walworth — Sometimes, a basketball game isn't just about canning a wide-open three-pointer or weaving through the lane for a layup. Sports can transcend simple competition, and that was epitomized Friday at the annual Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Division 3 all-star game. Some of the best basketball players in the state migrated to the University of Wisconsin-Madison field house for the annual event, which benefited the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer (MACC) Fund. Along with solid competition, players were able to spend time with young cancer victims and survivors. Big Foot graduate Courtney Spangler soaked it all in. The former Lady Chief standout played for the Division 3 South squad, which lost 74-61 to the North Squad. Spangler, a 2011 first-team all-Walworth County pick and all-Rock Valley South selection, scored seven points, good for third-best on the squad. She acknowledged the importance of playing against the MACC Fund and the honor of being selected as an all star.

Sports Check: A semi-pro football tryout
January 20, 2011
Everything about Sunday morning was unorthodox. It started with me, a 28-year-old, mostly out of shape, former quarterback, waking up at the crack of dawn and driving 30 minutes to Williams Bay from Burlington. What I did at Williams Bay High School at 9 a.m. was for the love of journalism but could be construed by outsiders as straight-up crazy.

hi.. im running a distributed zimbra installation ( with 3 mtas and one mailbox store). Periodically i see that the mysql server stops running for no reason. Email still appears to be flowing during that period.. i out of fear just restart the zimbra services.
when i restart the zimbra services everything goes back to a working state for an hour or so and then i see in the logs ( watch zmcontrol status) that mysql is not running again.. what could be responsible for this, and what can i do to stop it?
The mailbox server (installed with everything but mta service) has 16GB of RAM, and we set mysql memory percent to 10, after varying it from 12 and 11 ( to keep it below or just at 2GB as recommended.

Senior center Brett Benzio had a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds in Tulane's 62-45 win over Louisiana-Monroe on Monday.

Tulane/Louisiana-Monroe Game Book in PDF Format
NEW ORLEANS - Senior forward Brett Benzio recorded her first double-double of the season with 14 points and 11 rebounds as the Tulane University women's basketball team rolled past Louisiana-Monroe, 62-45, Monday evening at Fogelman Arena.
Benzio, who crumpled to the ground in pain late in the first half, returned to the court full go for the final 20 minutes of play and hit back-to-back layups to start the stanza and help the Green Wave pull away. With the win, Tulane improves to 2-0 for the second consecutive season. Louisiana-Monroe, meanwhile, falls to 0-2.
"We didn't do a very good job of getting her the ball in the first half, but I thought this was going to be a good game for her," Tulane head coach Lisa Stockton said of Benzio. "When she went down, I was really hoping she could come back. I thought she could really set the tempo for us in the second half. It was much better second half, but I would still like for us to be a little more patient on offense and just get some better shots."
Ten of Benzio's points came in the second half, when she hit 5-of-7 seven shots from the field and swatted two of her three blocked shots on the day. She was one of three Tulane players to finish with double-digit rebounds for the game as junior guard Olivia Grayson and freshman forward Adesuwa Ebomwonyi had career highs with 13 and 10, respectively.
Joining Benzio in double-digit scoring was freshman forward Danielle Blagg, who had three 3-pointers among her four field goals, with 11. Grayson led the Green Wave with seven assists and four steals.
More than half of Tulane's points came in the paint (34-of-62) and the Green Wave turned 19 offensive rebounds into 18 second-chance points. The Wave's defense held Louisiana-Monroe to a 26.9 shooting percentage (18-of-67), including a .185 clip in the first half (5-of-27).
"We missed a lot of shots, so I'd like to drop those rebounds and make some more shots but 19 offensive boards is really good," Stockton said. "We've been able to stay in games when we're shooting bad just because we're getting rebounds. Also, with them shooting 27 percent, we didn't give them a whole lot of extra opportunities. There were a lot of good things, but the nice thing is we have a lot of room to grow."
Tulane scored the first six points of the game, but neither team could find its rhythm early on as the two squads combined to score just 38 points in first half. Tulane clung to a three-point, 16-13 advantage with just over four minutes to go in the stanza and scored nine of the final 10 points in the period to head into the locker room at the break on top, 24-14.
The advantage hovered between the 12-to-16 point mark during the early portion of the second half and the Green Wave appeared to have the game comfortably in hand with a 42-26 advantage with 9:12 left to go. The Warhawks used a 9-2 run the cut the deficit to single digits at 44-35 over the next 2:48 before freshman Danielle Blagg canned a 3-pointer from the right wing and the led never dipped below 13 the rest of the way.
"It was a slugging game," Stockton said. "I felt that our defense was doing a great job. We held them to 18 percent in the first half. We were taking good shots but just couldn't knock them down. I don't know if that something that being so young we're going to have these inconsistencies, but I'm glad that our defense was able to hold so that we could go in with a lead."
Larrie Williams led the Warhawks with 13 points and Marion Zollicoffer had a team-best nine rebounds. Elizabeth Torres led all players with nine assists and shared game-high steal honors with Grayson with four.
The Green Wave return to action on Saturday, Nov. 19, when they play host to LSU at 7 p.m. in Fogelman Arena. The game against the Tigers is the third of four straight home games for Tulane to start the 2011-12 season as the Wave will face New Orleans on Monday, Nov. 21.

We wanted to wish everyone a Happy Father's Day. My daddy is celebrating in heaven. Although, I miss him so much I know nothing on earth can compare to his eternal home. I am so thankful that we will see him again and spend eternity together. Today, my kids and I celebrate my hubby. He is an incredible husband, father, and friend. I am blessed beyond measure, and so thankful. Hold tight to the Father's in your life you celebrate today, I hope that you can relax and lay the cares of this life aside.
On a not so serious note, my kids asked a couple of years ago how Father's Day started. Don't know about you, but I had no idea. So, we looked up some Father's Day Facts and included them below in case you were wondering yourself.
Facts about Father's Day

I am a fairly new road bike rider. I really like the older vintage bikes and am looking to pick up a new one.
This guy has a 3 bikes for sale and I was wondering which is the better value. He said he would part with any of them for around $100.
The first is a late 60's/ early 70's Raleigh Grand Prix.. He said he replaced the derailers with Shimano components.
The second is a 1984 Peugeot PH-11.... The rear derailer is replaced with a Shimano 105, while the front derailer is Simplex.
The 3rd is a Raleigh Pursuit... Not sure about any of the components but it looks the best cosmetically, as he said it doesn't have many miles.
I have attached pictures of the 3 below...
PH11.jpgpursuit.jpgGrand Prix.jpg
Which one of these offers the best value? Any help to a newbie would be appreciated.

College Hockey:Goulet, Ellis Lead Mercyhurst Past Army
WEST POINT, N.Y. — Linemates Louis Goulet and Eric Ellis scored two goals apiece to lead visiting Mercyhurst to an 8-1 decision over Army Friday night at Tate Rink.
Adam Tackaberry added four assists to keep the Lakers unbeaten in MAAC play at 8-0-1 and improve their overall record to 8-4-2. Army is winless (0-3-1) in its last four games and is now 5-10-1 overall, 4-7 in the MAAC.
The eight goals allowed were the most by an Army team since a 9-3 loss to Princeton early in the 1997-98 season and the most in a home game since a 9-3 loss to Boston College in the fourth game of the 1994-95 season.
Mercyhurst benefited from two quick three-goal flurries. Peter Rynshoven, Mark Stamp and Jamie King all scored within a span of 3:34 midway through the first period to help the Lakers open a comfortable lead. Rynshoven and Stamp knocked in rebounds, while King beat Scott Hamilton with a high shot from the right point.
Army's Mike Fairman cut the lead to 3-1 on a five-on-three power play at 4:26 of the second period, but Ellis scored twice in 12 seconds to cap the Lakers' second three-goal outburst. Tackaberry fed Goulet from behind the net for a power-play goal at 13:04 to make it 4-1 before Ellis tallied twice. The three goals in 3:07 made it 6-1 after two periods. Jeff Gould and Goulet added third-period insurance against Army backup goalie Ford Lannan.
Mercyhurst, which defeated Army 2-1 on a Gould goal with 0.9 seconds left in regulation on Dec. 9, outshot Army 40-28. Peter Aubry made 21 saves before giving way to Matt Cifelli (six saves) for the final 10:07. Hamilton stopped 22 shots in two periods for Army, while Lannan made a career-high 10 saves in 20 minutes.
Mercyhurst was 3-for-7 on the power play, while Army was 1-for-5 against the nation's top-ranked penalty-killing team.
Goulet added two assists to his two goals for a four-point night, and Rynshoven also chipped in two helpers.
The Black Knights travel to Sacred Heart on Saturday at 5 p.m., while Mercyhurst visits Colgate at 7 p.m.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIF. - Former California water polo standout John Mann has been selected one of 15 athletes who will compete for the USA Men's Senior National Team at the upcoming FINA World League Super Final, starting next week in Genova, Italy. The USA National Team has trimmed its training roster to 16 players as it moves closer to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Competition in the World League will begin on Monday, June 16 when Team USA competes in a match against Italy.

Team captain and two-time Olympian Tony Azevedo leads off the roster of 15 headed to Italy. He will be joined by veteran and fellow two-time Olympian Ryan Bailey along with 2004 Olympians Adam Wright, Layne Beaubien, Jeff Powers, Jesse Smith and Brandon Brooks. In addition to those players will be a core group that has a good deal of experience in their own right including Mann, Merrill Moses, Rick Merlo, Pete Hudnut, Tim Hutten, Peter Varellas, Brian Alexander and JW Krumpholz
Mann, who helped power the Golden Bears to the 2006 national title, was named the winner of the 2006-07 Peter J. Cutino Award as the nation's top male collegiate water polo player. One of the top players in school history, Mann led the Bears (31-4) to both the NCAA and Mountain Pacific Sports Federation titles in 2006.

He finished his college career with 218 goals.
Recently released from the USA National Team training roster was Jeff Tyrrell, who was instrumental in the Bears winning back-to-back NCAA titles in 2006 and 2007.
