The Unknown Scout
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
The Unknown Scout was an anonymous member of the The Boy Scout Association in the United Kingdom whose good turn inspired William D. Boyce to form the Boy Scouts of America.
The legend
Boyce was lost on a foggy street in London in 1909 when an unknown Scout came to his aid, guiding him to his destination. The boy then refused Boyce's tip, explaining that he was a Boy Scout and was merely doing his daily good turn. Soon thereafter, Boyce met with Robert Baden-Powell, who was Chief Scout at the time. Boyce returned to America, and, four months later, founded the Boy Scouts of America on February 8, 1910.
Other versions
According to Edward Rowan, Boyce stopped in London en route to a safari in British East Africa. While an unknown Scout helped him and refused a tip, this Scout only helped him cross a street to a hotel, did not take him to the Scout headquarters, and Boyce never met Baden-Powell. Upon Boyce's request, the Scout did give him the address of the Scout headquarters where Boyce later went on his own and picked up information about the group. Boyce returned to London after his safari and visited the Scout headquarters again and gained the use of Scouting For Boys in the development of a U.S. Scouting program.
Silver Buffalo Award
In 1926, the second presentation of the Silver Buffalo Award was to the Unknown Scout. That award resides in the museum at Gilwell Park.
In addition to the award, a statue of a buffalo was presented with a plaque, inscribed:
"To the Unknown Scout Whose Faithfulness in the Performance of the Daily Good turn Brought the Scout Movement to the United States of America."
On July 4, 1926, the statue was presented to Edward VIII the Prince of Wales and Baden-Powell by Amory Houghton, the United States Ambassador and a member of the National Council of the BSA.(The Presentation of the Bison]) The statue was initially emplaced on a tree stump and later moved to the current brick pedestal located on what is now known as the Buffalo Lawn behind the White House at Gilwell Park.

10. O. Henry
By O. W. Firkins
Several years ago I turned to
Whos Who in America
in hope of finding some information about O. W. Firkins, whose brilliant reviewschiefly of poetrywere appearing in
The Nation.
I found no entry, but every few months I would again rummage that stout red volume with the same intention, forgetting that I had done so before without success. It seemed hardly credible that a critic so brilliant had been overlooked by the industrious compilers of that work, which includes hundreds of hacks and fourflushers. When gathering the contents of this book I tried
Whos Who
again, still without result. I wrote to Mr. Firkins pleading for biographical details; modestly, but firmly, he denied me.
So all I can tell you is this, that Mr. Firkins is to my mind one of the half-dozen most sparkling critics in this country. One sometimes feels that he is carried a little past his destination by the sheer gusto and hilarity of his antitheses and paradoxes. That is not so, however, in this essay about O. Henry, an author who has often been grotesquely mispraised (I did not say overpraised) by people incompetent to appreciate his true greatness. Mr. Robert Cortes Holliday, in an essay called The Amazing Failure of O. Henry, said that O. Henry created no memorable characters. Mr. Firkins suggests the obvious but satisfying answerNew York itself is his triumph. The New York of O. Henry, already almost erased physically, remains a personality and an identity.
Mr. Firkins is professor of English at the University of Minnesota, and a contributing editor of
The Weekly Review,
in which this essay first appeared in September, 1919. The footnotes are, of course, his own.
are two opinions concerning O. Henry. The middle class views him as the impersonation of vigor and brilliancy; part of the higher criticism sees in him little but sensation and persiflage. Between these views there is a natural relation; the gods of the heathens are
ipso facto
the demons of Christianity. Unmixed assertions, however, are commonly mixtures of truth and falsehood; there is room to-day for an estimate which shall respect both opinions and adopt neither.
There is one literary trait in which I am unable to name any writer of tales in any literature who surpasses O. Henry.
It is not primary or even secondary among literary merits; it is less a value
per se
than the condition or foundation of values. But its utility is manifest, and it is rare among men: Chaucer and Shakespeare prove the possibility of its absence in masters of that very branch of art in which its presence would seem to be imperative. I refer to the designing of storiesnot to the primary intuition or to skill in development, in both of which finer phases of invention O. Henry has been largely and frequently surpassed, but to the disposition of masses, to the blocking-out of plots. That a half educated American provincial should have been original in a field in which original men have been copyists is enough of itself to make his personality observable.
Illustration, even of conceded truth, is rarely superfluous. I supply two instances. Two lads, parting in New York, agree to meet After Twenty Years at a specified hour, date, and corner. Both are faithful; but the years in which their relation has slept in mutual silence and ignorance have turned the one into a dashing criminal, the other into a sober officer of the law. Behind the picturesque and captivating rendezvous lurks a powerful dramatic situation and a moral problem of arresting gravity. This is dealt with in six pages of the Four Million. The Furnished Room, two stories further on, occupies twelve pages. Through the wilderness of apartments on the lower West Side a man trails a woman. Chance leads him to the very room in which the woman ended her life the week before. Between him and the truth the avarice of a sordid landlady interposes the curtain of a lie. In the bed in which the girl slept and died, the man sleeps and dies, and the entrance of the deadly fumes into his nostrils shuts the sinister and mournful coincidence forever from the knowledge of mankind. O. Henry gave these tales neither extension nor prominence; so far as I know, they were received without bravos or salvos. The distinction of a body of work in which such specimens are undistinguished hardly requires comment.
A few types among these stories may be specified. There are the Sydney Cartonisms, defined in the name; love-stories in which divided hearts, or simply divided persons, are brought together by the strategy of chance; hoax storiesdeft pictures of smiling roguery; prince and pauper stories, in which wealth and poverty face each other, sometimes enact each other; disguise stories, in which the wrong clothes often draw the wrong bullets; complemental stories, in which Jim sacrifices his beloved watch to buy combs for Della, who, meanwhile, has sacrificed her beloved hair to buy a chain for Jim.
This imperfect list is eloquent in its way; it smooths our path to the assertion that O. Henrys specialty is the enlistment of original method in the service of traditional appeals. The ends are the ends of fifty years ago; O. Henry transports us by aeroplane the old homestead.
Criticism of O. Henry falls into those superlatives and antitheses in which his own faculty delighted. In mechanical invention he is almost the leader of his race. In a related qualitya defecthis leadership is even more conspicuous. I doubt if the sense of the probable, or, more precisely, of the available in the improbable, ever became equally weakened or deadened in a man who made his living by its exercise. The improbable, even the impossible, has its place in art, though that place is relatively low; and it is curious that works such as the Arabian Nights and Grimms fairy tales, whose stock-in-trade is the incredible, are the works which give almost no trouble on the score of verisimilitude. The truth is that we reject not what it is impossible to prove, or even what it is possible to disprove, but what it is impossible to imagine. O. Henry asks us to imagine the unimaginablethat is his crime.
The right and wrong improbabilities may be illustrated from two burglar stories. Sixes and Sevens contains an excellent tale of a burglar and a citizen who fraternize, in a comic midnight interview, on the score of their common sufferings from rheumatism. This feeling in practice would not triumph over fear and greed; but the feeling is natural, and everybody with a grain of nature in him can imagine its triumph. Nature
towards that impossibility, and art, lifting, so to speak, the lid which fact drops upon nature, reveals nature in belying fact. In another story, in Whirligigs, a nocturnal interview takes place in which a burglar and a small boy discuss the etiquette of their mutual relation by formulas derived from short stories with which both are amazingly conversant. This is the wrong use of improbable. Even an imagination inured to the virtues of burglars and the maturity of small boys will have naught to do with this insanity.
But O. Henry can go further yet. There are inventions in his tales the very utterance of whichnot the mere substance but the utteranceon the part of a man not writing from Bedlam or for Bedlam impresses the reader as incredible. In a Comedy in Rubber, two persons become so used to spectatorship at transactions in the street that they drift into the part of spectators when the transaction is their own wedding. Can human daring or human folly go further? O. Henry is on the spot to prove that they can. In the Romance of a Busy Broker, a busy and forgetful man, in a freak of absent-mindedness, offers his hand to the stenographer
whom he had married the night before.
The other day, in the journal of the Goncourts, I came upon the following sentence: Never will the imagination approach the improbabilities and the antitheses of truth (II, 9). This is dated February 21, 1862. Truth had still the advantage. O. Henry was not born till September of the same year.
Passing on to style, we are still in the land of antithesis. The style is grossand fine. Of the plenitude of its stimulus, there can be no question. In Sixes and Sevens, a young man sinking under accidental morphia, is kept awake and alive by shouts, kicks, and blows. O. Henrys public seems imaged in that young man. But I draw a sharp distinction between the
of the style and its
The tone is brazen, or, better perhaps, brassy; its self-advertisement is incorrigible; it reeks with that air of
which is opposed to real efficiency. But the pattern is another matter. The South rounds its periods like its vowels; O. Henry has read, not widely, but wisely, in his boyhood. His sentences are
a rare thing in the best writers of to-day. In conciseness, that Spartan virtue, he was strong, though it must be confessed that the tale-teller was now and then hustled from the rostrum by his rival and enemy, the talker. He can introduce a felicity with a noiselessness that numbers him for a flying second among the sovereigns of English. In one of the second-floor front windows Mrs. McCaskey awaited her husband. Supper was cooling on the table. Its heat went into Mrs. McCaskey.
I regret the tomfoolery; I wince at the slang. Yet even for these levities with which his pages are so liberally besprinkled or bedaubed, some half-apology may be circumspectly urged. In nonsense his ease is consummate. A horseman who should dismount to pick up a bauble would be childish; O. Henry picks it up without dismounting. Slang, again, is most pardonable in the man with whom its use is least exclusive and least necessary. There are men who, going for a walk, take their dogs with them; there are other men who give a walk to their dogs. Substitute slang for the dog, and the superiority of the first class to the second will exactly illustrate the superiority of O. Henry to the abject traffickers in slang.
In the Pendulum Katy has a new patch in her crazy quilt which the ice man cut from the end of his four-in-hand. In the Day We Celebrate, threading the mazes of a banana grove is compared to paging the palm room of a New York hotel for a man named Smith. O. Henrys is the type of mind to which images like this four-in-hand and this palm room are presented in exhaustless abundance and unflagging continuity. There was hardly an object in the merry-go-round of civilized life that had not offered at least an end or an edge to the avidity of his consuming eyes. Nothing escapes from the besom of his allusiveness, and the style is streaked and pied, almost to monotony, by the accumulation of lively details.
If O. Henrys style was crude, it was also rare; but it is part of the grimness of the bargain that destiny drives with us that the mixture of the crude and the rare should be a crude mixture, as the sons of whites and negroes are numbered with the blacks. In the kingdom of style O. Henrys estates were princely, but, to pay his debts, he must have sold them all.
Thus far in our inquiry extraordinary merits have been offset by extraordinary defects. To lift our author out of the class of brilliant and skilful entertainers, more is needed. Is more forthcoming? I should answer, yes. In O. Henry, above the knowledge of setting, which is clear and first-hand, but subsidiary, above the order of events, which is, generally speaking, fantastic, above the emotions, which are sound and warm, but almost purely derivative, there is a rather small, but impressive body of firsthand perspicacities and reactions. On these his endurance may hinge.
I name, first of all, O. Henrys feeling for New York. With the exception of his New Orleans, I care little for his South and West, which are a boyish South and West, and as little, or even less, for his Spanish-American communities. My objection to his operabouffe republics is, not that they are inadequate as republics (for that we were entirely prepared), but that they are inadequate as opera. He lets us see his show from the coulisses. The pretense lacks standing even among pretenses, and a faith must be induced before its removal can enliven us. But his New York has quality. It is of the family of Dickenss London and Hugos Paris, though it is plainly a cadet in the family. Mr. Howells, in his profound and valuable study of the metropolis in a Hazard of New Fortunes, is penetrating; O. Henry, on the other hand, is
His New York is intimate and clinging; it is caught in the mesh of the imagination.
O. Henry had rare but precious insights into human destiny and human nature. In these pictures he is not formally accurate; he could never or seldom set his truth before us in that moderation and proportion which truths acquire in the stringencies of actuality. He was apt to present his insight in a sort of parable or allegory, to upraise it before the eyes of mankind on the mast or flagpole of some vehement exaggeration. Epigram shows us truth in the embrace of a lie, and tales which are dramatized epigrams are subject to a like constraint. The force, however, is real. I could scarcely name anywhere a more powerful exposition of fatality than Roads of Destiny, the initial story in the volume which appropriates its title. It wanted only the skilled romantic touch of a Gautier or Stevenson to enroll this tale among the masterpieces of its kind in contemporary letters.
Now and then the ingredient of parable is hardly perceptible; we draw close to the bare fact. O. Henry, fortunate in plots, is peculiarly fortunate in his renunciation of plot. If contrivance is lucrative, it is also costly. There is an admirable little story called the Pendulum (in the Trimmed Lamp), the simplicity of whose fable would have satisfied Coppée or Hawthorne. A man in a flat, by force of custom, has come to regard his wife as a piece of furniture. She departs for a few hours, and, by the break in usage, is restored, in his consciousness, to womanhood. She comes back, and relapses into furniture. That is all. O. Henry could not have given us lessor more. Farcical, clownish, if you will, the story resembles those clowns who carry daggers under their motley. When John Perkins takes up that inauspicious hat, the reader smiles, and quails. I will mention a few other examples of insights with the proviso that they are not specially commended to the man whose quest in the short story is the electrifying or the calorific. They include the Social Triangle, the Making of a New Yorker, and the Foreign Policy of Company 99, all in the Trimmed Lamp, the Brief Début of Tildy in the Four Million, and the Complete Life of John Hopkins in the Voice of the City. I cannot close this summary of good points without a passing reference to the not unsuggestive portrayal of humane and cheerful scoundrels in the Gentle Grafter. The picture, if false to species, is faithful to genus.
O. Henrys egregiousness, on the superficial side, both in merits and defects, reminds us of those park benches so characteristic of his tales which are occupied by a millionaire at one end and a mendicant at the other. But, to complete the image, we must add as a casual visitor to that bench a seer or a student, who, sitting down between the previous comers and suspending the flamboyancies of their dialogue, should gaze with the pensive eye of Goldsmith or Addison upon the passing crowd.
In O. Henry American journalism and the Victorian tradition meet. His mind, quick to don the guise of modernity, was impervious to its spirit. The specifically modern movements, the scientific awakening, the religious upheaval and subsidence, the socialistic gospel, the enfranchisement of womenthese never interfered with his artless and joyous pursuit of the old romantic motives of love, hate, wealth, poverty, gentility, disguise, and crime. On two points a moral record which, in his literature, is everywhere sound and stainless, rises almost to nobility. In an age when sexual excitement had become available and permissible, this worshiper of stimulus never touched with so much as a fingertip that insidious and meretricious fruit. The second point is his feeling for underpaid working-girls. His passionate concern for this wrong derives a peculiar emphasis from the general refusal of his books to bestow countenance or notice of philanthropy in its collective forms. When, in his dream of Heaven, he is asked: Are you one of the bunch? (meaning one of the bunch of grasping and grinding employers), the response, through all its slang, is soul-stirring. Not on your immortality, said I. Im only the fellow that set fire to an orphan asylum and murdered a blind man for his pennies. The author of that retort may have some difficulty with the sentries that watch the entrance of Parnassus; he will have none with the gatekeeper of the New Jerusalem.
Note 1.
William Sidney Porter, 18621910, son of Algernon Sidney Porter, physician, was born, bred, and meagerly educated in Greensboro, North Carolina. In Greensboro he was drug clerk; in Texas he was amateur ranchman, land-office clerk, editor, and bank teller. Convicted of misuse of bank funds on insufficient evidence (which he supplemented by the insanity of flight), he passed three years and three months in the Ohio State Penitentiary at Columbus. Release was the prelude to life in New York, to story-writing, to rapid and wide-spread fame. Latterly, his stories, published in New York journals and in book form, were consumed by the public with an avidity which his premature death, in 1910, scarcely checked. The pen-name, O. Henry, is almost certainly borrowed from a French chemist, Etienne-Ossian Henry, whose abridged name he fell upon in his pharmacal researches. See the interesting O. Henry Biography by C. Alphonso Smith. [
Note 2.
O Henrys stories have been known to coincide with earlier work in a fashion which dims the novelty of the tale without clouding the originality of the author. I thought the brilliant Harlem Tragedy (in the Trimmed Lamp) unique through sheer audacity, but the other day I found its motive repeated with singular exactness in Montesquieus Lettres Persanes (Letter LI).

As a former flight attendant, Beth Blair had been to Las Vegas countless times. A few years ago, she decided it would be a great place to spend New Year's Eve: bright lights, cocktails, and an all-night party.
But it wasn't what she'd hoped. "On the last day of the year, Las Vegas turns into a disrupted anthill—too chaotic and wild for me," says Blair, now a travel blogger based in Minneapolis. "I was surprised Las Vegas could get any more amped up. It just brings out the wildest of the wild."
Related: Best Places to Spend New Year's
Of course, that anthill level of excitement doesn't scare everyone away. In the latest Travel + Leisure survey, Sin City ranked No. 5 out of 35 as the best American city for New Year's Eve.
The best place to spend New Year's Eve was just one part of the America's Favorite Cities survey, where Travel + Leisure readers ranked 35 U.S. cities in 54 categories, such as the best luxury shopping, the best live music, and even the best coffee bars.
Finding a great place to celebrate New Year's Eve is important. While many of us keep a standing New Year's date with the TV and a pair of fuzzy slippers, more than 1 in 4 Americans plan to travel to welcome in the new year, according to a survey from LowFares.com.
Like Blair, not everyone who travels for New Year's wants a raucous time. When we looked at the Top 25 for New Year's in the AFC survey, a mix of great live music, good bars, and wild weekend potential helped bolster many cities' rankings. But warm weather also seemed to play a huge role. Two of the Top 10 cities are on islands, two are in the desert, and one—San Diego—is the AFC voters' winner in the climate category.
Many people also just have different definitions of what constitutes a good party. Memphis, for all its great music and good food, still came in at No. 25 for New Year's Eve—perhaps because AFC voters found other things about staying in Memphis that dampened their spirits. Meanwhile, southern city Savannah—new to the AFC survey—shot to No. 4, even besting Vegas, proving that some folks would rather err on the side of charming for December 31.
And what about New York City, arguably the epicenter of New Year's Eve? It made a mediocre No. 13 showing, perhaps due to cold temps, big crowds, and high prices. Shari Lynn Rothstein-Kramer, a native New Yorker, admits that she has spent more New Year's Eves than she can count in Times Square. "Every year I swore I wouldn't do it again," she said, "but then a friend would come into town, or it wouldn't seem so cold—but it was never really fun."
Here's where to go—and where not to go—to ensure that you do have fun on New Year's Eve.

Breaking Bad: Too Good
November 30, 2011 in Best Of, Entertainment, Misc, On Writing, Reviews, Shows by pacejmiller
The unfortunate thing about American cable television is that certain shows, certain utterly brilliant shows, can get lost in the mix in foreign countries, relegated to expensive local cable channels (only 6.8% of Aussies have cable), late night slots nobody knows about, or obscure digital stations with little to no advertising and about two seasons too late. You could always browse the DVD store, but with so many shows out there, just how do you separate them without some serious research?
I recently watched all four seasons of Breaking Bad (the fifth and final season is due next year), undoubtedly one of the best dramas I have seen in years, if not ever. Shockingly, I had never even heard of the multiple award-winning show until a friend of mine and I were discussing how important it was to have a 'good concept' when trying to write a script (we used to think witty dialogue was enough — damn you Tarentino!). And as soon as he mentioned the story of Breaking Bad — an underachieving chemistry teacher who discovers he has lung cancer and turns to making and selling crystal meth with a drop kick former student in order to provide for his family, with his DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) brother-in-law hot on his trail — I was hooked.
I'm not sure if Breaking Bad is the type of show I would have appreciated in my youth. It is filled with tension and keeps you on the edge of your seat, but in a slow, insidious kind of way unlike the 'pure adrenaline rush' shows (such as say 24 and the first season of Prison Break). It's a drama but the unexpected black comedy keeps making me laugh out loud, while the grotesque violence and depravity keeps making me squirm. It grabs you in with this compelling idea and pulls you deeper and deeper into the world of drug dealing and the horrific impact it has on the lives of everyone around it. Creator Vince Gilligan said he wanted to follow a character as he gradually descends from a morally upstanding person into a total badass. And after four seasons, Breaking Bad's protagonist Walt is well on his way.
Walt may have gone into meth making because of the purest of intentions — but because of the constant lies and deceit, the dark (and darker) moral decisions and judgments he is forced to make, combined with a massively suppressed ego that is finally released — he finds himself regularly pushing the boundaries and crossing lines you could never have imagined him crossing at the beginning of the show (or even a season ago). And yet, despite who he is and who he has become, deep down you still find yourself rooting for Walt, which is really at the heart of what makes Breaking Bad so freaking good.
The show is brilliantly constructed from top to bottom, inside out. The quality scripts produced by American writers on such shows never cease to amaze me. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes horrifying, always riveting. The direction and the pacing are measured, allowing the story to unfold in a deliberate fashion. The use of cinematography is probably the best I've seen in any TV show.
But of course, the show would not be where it is without the characters and the actors portraying them. Bryan Cranston (prior to Breaking Bad, best known as the dad in Malcolm in the Middle, though I was stunned to discover that he was actually smug dentist Tim Whatley in Seinfled!) deservedly won three consecutive Emmys for his astonishing portrayal of protagonist Walter White (and it probably would have been four straight had the scheduling not precluded the show from this year's Emmys).
Cranston grabs the spotlight with his award-winning performance, which makes people forget how magnificent and equally irreplaceable Aaron Paul is as the insufferable yet lovable Jesse Pinkman. I'm glad to see Paul, whose character was almost killed off in the first couple of episodes, be rewarded with an Emmy of his own in 2010.
This drug-making duo drives the show, but every key supporting character, from Walt's wife Skyler (Anna Gunn) and disabled son Walt Jr (RJ Mitte) to brother-in-law Hank (Dean Norris) and sister-in-law Marie (Betsy Brandt), is multi-dimensionally crafted. And what about sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk)? Everybody has their own motives, weaknesses and demons. Special mention has to go out to Walt's boss and intellectual equal Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), who absolutely ignited the screen in season four. It's not often that all the core characters from a show are this interesting, dynamic and ever-evolving.
And now we wait for the final season, season five, which is reportedly going to be 16 episodes (season one had seven episodes, and seasons two through four each had 13). I for one am eager to see where the show heads after the way season four ended. Will Walt keep falling deeper and deeper or will he try to turn back around (if he can)? What will happen to his explosive love-hate relationship with Pinkman? Will Skyler become an official part of the family business? And will Hank finally realise the man he's after has been right beside him all along?
In the meantime, I've been thinking about an idea for a TV show. It's about a meth cooker who, after discovering that his cancer has been cured, decides to quit to become a high school chemistry teacher. I think it'll be a winner.

NCAA Tournament: Rodney McGruder scores 30, Kansas State slips past Southern Miss, 70-64
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Kansas State coach Frank Martin likes to joke that freshman point guard Angel Rodriguez is quickly adding to the gray hair on Martin's head.
The coach can probably live with the stress if Rodriguez keeps playing the way he did against Southern Miss.
Rodney McGruder kept the eighth-seeded Wildcats in their second-round matchup with the ninth-seeded Golden Eagles and Rodriguez closed Southern Miss out late as Kansas State surged to a 70-64 victory on Thursday afternoon.
Rodriguez hit a nifty reverse lay-up after the Golden Eagles had pulled within 62-59 then added three late free throws as the Wildcats won their opening tournament game for the third straight year.
Kansas State (22-10) will play either Syracuse or UNC-Asheville in the third round on Saturday.
McGruder finished with 30 points — including 18 in the first half when the Wildcats could muster little else — and center Jordan Henriquez added 15 points, nine rebounds and six blocks for Kansas State.
Rodriguez, handed the starting job after the Wildcats slumped early in Big 12 play, had 13 points and four assists.
Neil Watson led Southern Miss (25-9) with 16 points, LaShay Page had 15 and Kentucky transfer Darnell Dodson scored all 14 of his points in the second half. But the Golden Eagles let a chance to win their first-ever tournament game slip away in the final minutes.
Southern Miss led by as many as five points in the second half but had no answer when McGruder and Rodriguez in the end.
The Golden Eagles, making their first tournament appearance in 21 years, overcame some early jitters to take a 45-40 lead on a 3-pointer by Dodson with just over 13 minutes to go.
Kansas State responded with a 18-6 surge led by McGruder and Henriquez, who combined for 13 points during the run, including a 3-pointer by McGruder that hit every inch of the rim before rolling in.
The Wildcats appeared safe when Rodriguez hit Thomas Gipson on an alley-oop to give them a 62-55 lead with just over 3 minutes left, but Dodson — cast off by Kentucky coach John Calipari two years ago — hit a jumper then added a steal and dunk to get Southern Miss within 62-59 with 2:30 to play.
No biggie.
Rodriguez worked the ball on the wing out of a timeout then blew past two defenders for a reverse lay-up that pushed Kansas State's advantage back to five.
Moments later Rodriguez calmly drained three free throws and Southern Miss came up empty on its next two trips to ruin coach Larry Eustachy's return to the NCAAs.
The former Iowa State coach led the Cyclones to a pair of Big 12 titles over a decade ago before his stunning downfall. He resigned in 2003 shortly after photos of him partying with students surfaced.
Eustachy went to rehabilitation to treat alcoholism and found a job at Southern Miss in 2004, where he's slowly built the program into a Conference USA contender by providing a home for cast-offs from other programs and junior college transfers.
The Golden Eagles repaid Eustachy's patience by leading the program to just its third-ever tournament appearance, but Southern Miss had trouble all game overcoming the bigger, tougher Wildcats.
No Wildcat was bigger or tougher than Henriquez. The 6-foot-11 center dominated the lane, swatting six shots and altering a handful of others.
He wasn't too bad on the other end of the floor either. Henriquez — a 52 percent free-throw shooter — made 9-of-10 at the line to give McGruder some help after a first half in which McGruder singlehandedly kept Kansas State in front.

A Ski Story ~ by John Nicolich
When I last reported, I had skied day one with a hockey babe in death crust. A few days later it was skiing in the rain at 49N. Things got worse as the base went from 24-in. to 20-in. to 16-in., and as it dwindled so did my hopes of a glorious early season. Then came Thanksgiving. While others were thankful for their health, their families, and God, I was thankful for the snow that was absolutely puking outside. That's right friends 14 inches in 24 hours. Schweitzer opened on Fri 11/24, to a cushy 36-in. base. That was just the beginning. On Sunday night it snowed 10 inches over night.
Schweitzer's sexy backside was open to midway but had remained closed to the top while the hounds licked their chops and waited. By chance I was on the chair when the top opened and was the first (besides a few dirt bag snowboarders) to reach the goods. I hit Big Timber, a classic run that is the first hit for most powder pigs, posers, wannabe's, and others of ill repute. It was wide open, untouched. I was first one in for the season. It was as close to a religious experience as I've had. I was describing it to a buddy of mine and said "I may never have another run like that again!"
Next day, Monday. 9 inches of new. Patrol closed the top of the backside till 10 AM. I was skiing the front side when I saw the rope drop and started the long traverse over. I saw some boarders download off the chair, but they were heading away from the backside. I was puzzled, why would you leave when it was just opening up. Another group unloaded and did the same thing. Did they close the North Bowl runs?? I almost bailed when I said screw it, lets check it out. Back to Big Timber. No Tracks, deep pow, flying like a demon, just like a dream. Deja Vu baby.
Today, Tuesday. The temp dropped to 6 degrees. That snow you saw on Monday night football - its here now, and another 5-inches fell. This time the cold air left us Utah snow. I'm not kidding, the POW was blower, boot deep or higher in places. And the best part is on a Tuesday its just me and the old people and a few slackers and social outcasts.
Man am I tired. The pace is frantic. To ski all day, I have to work all night - just finishing up now. My family misses me. But you know its that time of year again, and tomorrow is another day.
I'm Out
PS Stan is the cow catcher on the 4-runner?, we are leaving soon. If you can, you should come up here for a pre-Targhee session - yeah its that good.

Only us skiers can relate to that beautiful story. I am expecting a few more inches this week to make my birthday ski day (December 15) even better. Hoping they open "The Waterfall" just for that day. Snow flurries right now at 5 am, just before my workout, then to the slopes at 9 for another.
See you soon Tony, Renee
- Phyllis said...
Tony, not being a skier I have no earthly idea what you are talking about, BUT it sounds like you are in Heaven.
Have fun my friend and stay safe!
- Phyllis said...
Ok so I see that wasn't your story. So forget what I said up there :-)
I know you love to ski and I am sure we will be reading "your" ski story soon.
- psalm9567 said...
I echo Phyllis! Sounds like a foreign language to me!!! But, we all know you are a die-hard ski boy, so have fun, stay safe, and come back in one piece!
Plyo Legs, baby!
- AlfaSunshine said...
Whoo hoo!! Tonight is my first night of the X...p90 fatburner in the morning and the x classic at night for as long as I can take it! WHEN I hit the slopes (Lord only knows when that will be this season) I WILL BE A SHREDDER!! I won't be holding my breath for Vail...but Heavenly is good enough for me!!WHOOOOOO HOOOO!!!
- GreatDane said...
I have never been a skier but I can sure understand the excitement of doing something you love to do...
It's been a while buddy, since LA camp I have completed the Master Series and I even bough myself P90X for Christmas but I'm not quite ready for that yet...
I have also tried to add more outside stuff to my life, since we don't have much snow here in Texas I had to find something else ;) so my boys and I have been mountain biking... having lots of fun together... and this past weekend we went rock climbing all night long, today Wednesday is the first day I'm not sore all over :)... feels really good though to get back out there and just have fun... Thanks for showing the way... Appreciate everything you do.

Hey Tony,
A couple of years ago, in order to please an ex-girlfriend, I decided to launch myself down some of the most crowded slopes in the East. So, we loaded up the car and headed up old Route 8 in your home state of Connecticut. A couple hours later I found myself screaming in terror as all of my 200 lbs barreled out of control down the steep and icy deer run at Mohawk Mt. Even though I narrowly cheated death or paralyzation, I suddenly discovered a rush and elation that I had never felt before. I got on the program, took a lesson, took a break and headed back out. Six hours and many runs later, I finally took off my boots and called it a day. I'll never forget that day.
Hydrate or die, brutha!

Semi-Outdoor Chaise Twin
Sizes: Twin
Style: Freedom
Includes: Stainless Steel Hardware
Box Cushions or Specific Mattress: FeatherTouch2 with PlushGuard Protector
Fabric: Sunbrella or Outdura
White Oak has a golden color similar to teak. Stronger and denser than its cheaper counterpart, red oak, it has a "closed cell" structure, called tyloses, which prevents moisture from penetrating. This makes it ideal for wine barrels and outdoor furnishings.
Suitable Environments:
Mahogany has a rich reddish-brown color. We use Sapele, the cream of African Mahogany hardwoods in performance, stability and appearance. It has a grain and pore structure that is tighter than most other mahogany making it ideal for outdoor furnishings.
Suitable Environments:
Cherry has a warm, reddish-brown color with a golden luster. Smooth and even silky to the touch, it is highly prized by cabinet makers. Freshly cut cherry is often pale, which then oxidizes to its famously rich, brown-red color with time.
Suitable Environments:
Ash is light in color, similar to maple. Its beautiful grain stains easily to almost any color. Strong and tough yet elastic, it is ideal for products demanding high strength and resiliency including baseball bats, axe handles and convertible furniture.
Suitable Environments:
Box Cushions
In a box cushion, the upholstery fabric is an integral part of the cushion - it is the actual casing. It is "permanent". Our box cushions have hidden zippers and inserts may be removed from the casing. Restuffing inserts into the triple casing will likely need to be done by a professional. All of our cushions are made by us in our sewing shop.
The great thing about these plush mattresses is that they are thick and comfy yet they BEND. Comfy for sitting and great for sleeping. We offer 3 different mattresses from GOLD BOND, a 100 year old, made in America company. If you prefer a mattress model not listed here - let us know - we can get it for you. The upholstery fabric for mattresses is a completely separate item from the mattress. It is called a slipcover and is like a giant snug-fitting pillow case with a very, very long zipper. It is easily removable for cleaning or re-styling.
If you like to angle the footrest in chaise position... then keep in mind that the thicker mattresses will be less conforming. The mattress that drapes the easiest is the Deluxe mattress.
Fabric options are classified as followed. Suitable for indoor or outdoor.

"I ate a whole lemon, raw, and it was delicious," says Katie O'Neill, a Philadelphia-based medical student. No, she wasn't on drugs, but her perception was chemically altered: after eating miracle fruit, nearly everything tastes (temporarily) sweet. The experience is so psychedelic that many have dubbed it "flavor tripping."
Miracle berries, native to West Africa, are a trendy example of the weird world of exotic fruits. A sure sign that you've landed somewhere new, such fruits intrigue and challenge us, whether by their unfamiliar size, shape, texture, or smell. The stinky durian fruit, for instance, has become infamous among travelers to China and Southeast Asia.
"I was thrown off a bus once because I had one in my bag," says travel writer Mikaya Heart. But she's quick to add that durian is one of her favorite tastes: "It is very succulent and oily, the consistency and color of really thick custard. I would eat it every day if I could." With a little effort, you can find durian and other exotic fruits without flying halfway across the world; start your search at specialty grocery stores or ethnic restaurants.
Such crazy, beautiful, and above all, natural fruits are a vivid reminder of the planet's incredible, if precarious, biodiversity. As many farmers mass cultivate the same breeds of common fruit over and over again, other versions may die out to make room for bestsellers like Golden Delicious. At the same time, fruits once considered exotic (like mango or, recently, acai) can find their way into the American mainstream, which makes encountering an unfamiliar fruit that much more of a tantalizing novelty.
Case in point: David Slenk lived with a Peruvian family in Lima during a yearlong trip through South America. At dessert time, they served him a weird fruit: "bright white and kind of mushy, chopped up and covered in orange juice," he recalls. "I'd never seen anything like it before. I took a cautious bite, couldn't believe my taste buds, then finished the entire bowl in seconds."
That's how Slenk discovered that he loves cherimoya, a green fruit with a fleshy white inside and black seeds. "It's almost enough to make me move to Peru forever."
Keep reading for more exotic fruits bound to stimulate your senses.

Chris Simon: Being a Tough Guy is Serious & Respectable Choice
A portrait of Chris Simon taken by the KHL's official magazine, Hot Ice
After leaving the Washington Capitals in 2002, Chris Simon played for five different NHL clubs over the following seven seasons. He received four suspensions during that time, including a 25-game ban for slashing Ryan Hollweg in the face and a 30-game sit down for tripping Jarkko Ruutu and then stomping on his leg with his skate.
In 2008, Simon opted to have a clean slate and joined the KHL. He signed with the league's toughest team, Vityaz Chekhov. Known as the "Indian" among Vityaz fans, Simon quickly became a fan favorite and was named captain of the team. With Vityaz, he participated in the mega-brawl against Avangard Omsk, which resulted in both teams accumulating 600 PIM and a cancellation of the match. However, Simon's scoring totals steadily grew every year in the KHL (eight goals in 2008-09, 13 in 2009-10 and 16 in 2010-11) and he was recently named to the 2011 KHL All-Star Game. Rumors that he would be traded at the deadline were circulating and finally, five days before the All-Star Game, he was traded to UHC Dynamo Moscow, who were looking to add some grit to their line-up for the playoffs. The second seed in the East, Dynamo was upset by Dinamo Riga in the first-round in a heart-breaking six-game series. Shortly after, Sport-Express spoke with the former Cap.
Below the jump, RMNB's Igor Kleyer has translated the rare Simon interview. The 39 year-old talks about what it was like to learn Russian, who helped him settle in with his new team and why he decided to become a "tough guy" in the first place.

Rico Creative Filz - Anthracite (92) - 50g - Product Description
Rico Creative Filz is a beautiful and light super chunky yarn that knits into warm and soft garments, but is, as the name suggests, particularly suited to felting. After felting, it forms a sturdy fabric that is perfect for bags, hats and slippers. If you don't want to felt it, just hand wash gently, but for easy felting, place in the washing machine on a warm setting. It knits up really quickly and comes in a range of bright clear shades, but if you're looking for something a little different, then it may be worth taking a look at Rico Creative Filz Print - the same yarn, only in variegated colours.
Rico Creative Filz is available in a wide variety of different shades, and as one of the largest stockists of Rico yarn in the UK, we stock every single colour and shade of Creative Filz that Rico produce. The chances are that if there's a shade of Creative Filz that we don't have, it is because Rico have stopped making it! Supplied in 50g balls, Rico Creative Filz knits to a gauge of 11 stitches over 17 rows on 8mm needles, and there are approximately 50m / 55yds in every 50g ball.

The four-game series between the Atlanta Hawks and the Indiana Pacers has been as disjointed and schizophrenic as any in the 2013 NBA playoffs. There has been one constant, though: the dominance of the home team.
In Monday night's 102-91 victory it was the Hawks' turn to get the home-court boost and they took advantage, riding the tidal wave of emotion from the Philips Arena crowd to a series-tying 'W.' After losing two games in Indiana in unimpressive fashion, the Hawks have tied the series 2-2.
"We're definitely feeding off the crowd," said Hawks coach Larry Drew. "That's why home court is so important. It's a great feeling when the crowd is behind you and into it. In the fourth [quarter] the crowd was really into it and our guys fed off it."
The crowd may truly have swung the game on a few occasions.
Before the start of the game, Philips Arena was around half full and by tip-off, the arena was still filled with open seats. The lack of fan support seemed to take the air out of the Hawks. They let the Pacers jump out to a 21-14 lead in the opening period before closing the gap and eventually taking the lead into the second, 22-21.
By the second quarter the full 18,241 had taken their seats and the Hawks kicked it into gear. Josh Smith, who got the start at small forward on the evening, seemed particularly motivated by the energy, leading the team with 10 points in the quarter on 4-6 shooting, and pulling in five of his 11 rebounds for the evening.
The Hawks cruised through the second stanza with 35 big points, almost double the Pacers output. Smith and the hot-shooting Kyle Korver scored as many points (19) as the entire Pacers team that period to take a 57-40 lead at halftime. Korver was red hot from beyond the arc and finished with 19 points and was 5-8 from three-point range for the game.
The third quarter again showed the impact of the fans, but on the other end. As the crowd slowly crept back into their seats, the Hawks quickly lost a grip on the lead.
A "hot seat" fan promotion inside Philips typified the Hawks' troubles. One fan was set to win $250 if a Hawk scored a three pointer within two minutes, starting at 7:13 in the quarter. Not only did the Hawks not hit a three-pointer, the team didn't even score a field goal until the 1:34 mark of the third.
Atlanta went 3-20 shooting in the quarter, 0-8 from beyond the arc and 8-16 on free throws. It was painful to watch.
"We were very, very stagnant in the third quarter," said Drew. "Didn't execute our offense and we became our worst enemy. I was happy to see that my guys maintained their composure, but it was nothing they were doing, it was all us."
The Pacers used the Hawks abysmal quarter to get right back into the game, wining the quarter 22-12 and knocking what had been a 17 point halftime lead down to a manageable 69-62.
While the run allowed the Pacers to get back into the ballgame, it proved not to be enough.
"The third [quarter] really should've been a 30-35 point quarter for us," said Pacers forward David West. "We gave them too many opportunities so we were fighting uphill, spending a lot of energy trying to get back in the game."
That uphill battle in the fourth quarter on Atlanta's home court proved to be too much for the Pacers. West and company were stymied by an impressive defensive run led by Smith, forward Al Horford and Korver, who picked up his first block of the postseason, and the team was able to turn offense into defense.
After letting Indiana get within 5, at 92-87, the Hawks got a 19-foot jump shot from Horford and a breakaway dunk on a fast break from Smith to put the game out of reach with 1:07 remaining.
After the thunderous jam that forced Pacers coach Frank Vogel to take a timeout, the College Park native remained on the court and urged the Atlanta faithful to get on their feet. They obliged him.
"I don't think they realize what they do for us," Horford said of the crowd. "Josh played big minutes for us and I can tell you that he was tired, but when the fans are supporting us it makes it easier for us to go through it. The home fans have been a big part of [the past two games]."
Smith had a career high with 29 points and added 4 assists and 3 steals to go along with his 11 rebounds.
The series continues with Game 5 Wednesday in Indiana. Game 6 will be back in Atlanta Friday.

A sore throat is the general name for two common conditions:
- Pharyngitis—swelling and inflammation of the pharynx (the back of the throat, including the back of the tongue)
- Tonsillopharyngitis—swelling and inflammation of the pharynx and the tonsils (soft tissue that makes up part of the throat's immune defenses)
Many things can cause a sore throat, such as:
- Infection with a virus, such as the viruses that cause influenza (the flu) and thecommon cold
- Infection with bacteria, such as the bacteria that cause strep throat
- Infectious mononucleosis
- Mucus from your sinuses that drains into your throat
- Smoking
- Breathing polluted air
- Drinking alcoholic beverages
- Hay fever or other allergies
- Acid reflux from the stomach
- Food debris collecting in small pockets in the tonsils
Risk Factors
Sore throats are more common in certain people. However, anyone can get a sore throat. Risk factors that may increase your chance of getting a sore throat include:
- Age: children and teens, and people aged 65 or older
- Exposure to someone with a sore throat or any other infection involving the throat, nose, or ears
- Exposure to cigarette smoke, toxic fumes, industrial smoke, and other air pollutants
- Having hay fever or other allergies
- Having other conditions that affect your immune system, such as AIDS or cancer
Along with the sore throat, you may have other symptoms, such as:
- Pain or difficulty when swallowing
- Difficulty breathing
- Fever
- Enlarged lymph nodes in your neck
- Hoarse voice
- Red or irritated-looking throat
- Swollen tonsils
- White patches on or near your tonsils
- Runny nose or stuffy nose
- Cough
When Should I Call My Doctor?
Call your doctor if you:
- Experience a worsening of your sore throat or the symptom lasts longer than you or your doctor expect
- Have difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Have developed other symptoms, such as:
- White patches on tonsils (may be a sign of strep throat)
- Enlarged lymph nodes on your neck
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Earache
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fever
- Rash
- Muscle or joint aches
- Fatigue
- Blood in saliva
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests calling your child's doctor if your child has a sore throat that continues through the day (no matter what other symptoms are present).
If you think you have an emergency, get medical care right away.
Your doctor will do a physical exam. This involves looking closely at your mouth, throat, nose, ears, and the lymph nodes in your neck.
- This physical exam may include:
- Using a small instrument to look inside the nose, ears, and mouth
- Gently touching the lymph nodes (glands) in your neck to check for swelling
- Taking your temperature
- Examining your ears
- The doctor will ask questions about:
- Your family and medical history
- Recent exposure to someone with strep throat or any other infection of the throat, nose, or ears
- Other tests include:
- Rapid strep test or throat culture—using a cotton swab to touch the back of the throat to check for strep throat
- Blood tests—to identify conditions that may be causing the sore throat
- Mono spot test (if mononucleosis is suspected)
Treatment depends on the cause of the sore throat. Options include:
- Antibiotics for strep throat
- Drugs to reduce sore throat pain. These drugs include:
- Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
- Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children or teens with a current or recent viral infection. This is because of the risk of Reye's syndrome. Ask your doctor which other medicines are safe for your child.
- Numbing throat spray for pain control
- Decongestants and antihistamines to relieve nasal congestion and runny nose
- Throat lozenges
- Corticosteroids (used in combination with antibiotics for severe cases)
Home Care
- Get plenty of rest.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Gargle with warm salt water several times a day.
- Drink warm liquids (tea or broth), or cool liquids.
- Avoid irritants that might affect your throat, such as tobacco smoke and cold air.
- Avoid drinking alcohol.
Here are ways to reduce your chance of getting a sore throat:
- Wash your hands frequently. Do this especially after blowing your nose or after caring for a child with a sore throat.
- If someone in your home has a sore throat, keep their eating utensils and drinking glasses separate from those of other family members. Wash these objects in hot, soapy water.
- If a toddler with a sore throat has been sucking on toys, wash the toys in soap and water.
- Immediately get rid of used tissues, and then wash your hands.
- If you have hay fever or another respiratory allergy, see your doctor. Avoid the substance that causes your allergy.

isoindolinone yellow
Isoindolinone Yellow is a high performance pigment of excellent brightness and an average drying time.
Isoindolinone Yellow has excellent lightfastness.
Isoindolinone Yellow is not considered toxic.
The first isoindoline pigments were patented in 1946, and commercial production of pigments in this group began in the 1960s. Several isoindoline yellow pigments are available.
polychlorinated copper(II) phthalocyanine
C32H3Cl13CuN8 to C32HCl15CuN8 or C32H16CuN8Cl15 (PG7) or C32Br6Cl10CuN8 (PG36)
Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high intensity color used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue. It is slow drying and an excellent base color for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a very good alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well and can be used to emphasize mineral colors in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so it can overpower other colors. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.
Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.
This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been in use since 1938.

organic, aminoanthroquinone
1,4-diketo-3,6-di(4'-tertiary butyl phenyl)-2,5-dihydro pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole
This bluish red transparent pigment has high tinting strength. Diketo pyrrolo pyrrole pigments are noteworthy for their light stability, excellent weatherability, and outstanding heat stability.
Pyrrole Rubine has excellent permanence and lightfastness for an organic pigment in its color range.
Pyrrole pigments are considered to be non-toxic.
The Pyrrole group of synthetic organic pigments was developed in the 1980s. Pyrrole Rubine was first manufactured by Ciba Specialty Chemicals under the trade name Irgazine Ruby. Although not a perfect match for alizarin crimson, Pyrrole Rubine is one of several new pigments that has helped to close a traditional gap in the gamut of artist pigments, the lack of lightfast and transparent colors in the red/blue and red/violet parts of the spectrum.

Conservationists Claim Victory on New Farm Bill
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Wildlife and environmental groups are claiming victory when it comes to conservation under the new farm bill.
Two of their top priorities made it into the law, which set federal farm policy for the next five years.
One is "conservation compliance," which means farmers will have to use good conservation practices on highly erodible lands and protect wetlands to qualify for crop insurance premium subsidies.
The other creates "sodsaver" protections to discourage farmers from plowing up native grasslands in the Dakotas, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana and Nebraska.
It wasn't a total victory, though. The $57.6 billion in the farm bill for conservation programs over the next 10 years represents a net reduction of $4 billion. And conservationists are disappointed that fewer acres can be enrolled in the popular Conservation Reserve Program.
