East Regional final thoughts-Villanova
|03.28.09 at 5:22 pm ET
BOSTON – Villanova set a new school record for single season victories when it captured its 29th win on Thursday over Duke. The previous record of 28 was set in 2005-06 when current seniors Dwayne Anderson, Shane Clark, Dante Cunningham and Frank Tchuisi.
The win over Duke marked the first time in school history that Villanova won consecutive NCAA tournament games by at least 20 points. Villanova beat UCLA, 89-69, in round 2 and beat Duke, 77-54, on Thursday.
Villanova is now 10-4 in NCAA tournament play under coach Jay Wright over the last five seasons. Three of the four losses have come at the hands of the eventual national champion. 2005-North Carolina. 2006-Florida and 2008-Kansas.
The senior class has earned the most wins of any class in school history. They are 101-36 entering tonight's game.
Villanova is playing a fellow Big East school in NCAA tournament play for the first time since beating Georgetown, 66-64 for the national title in 1985.
Villanova beat Pittsburgh, 67-57, in the only meeting between the two teams this season. It was the last college game ever at Philadelphia's Spectrum.
East Regional final thoughts-Pittsburgh
|03.28.09 at 5:15 pm ET
BOSTON – As No. 1 Pittsburgh and No. 3 Villanova plan to square off beginning at 7:05 p.m. at the TD Banknorth Garden, here are some final thoughts to keep in mind. First, Pittsburgh.
Pitt is advancing to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1974, when they lost to eventual national champion North Carolina State, starring David Thompson.
Only two schools have advanced to more Sweet Sixteens than Pittsburgh in the last eight years. (Duke and Kansas, 6).
The last time Pittsburgh advanced to the Final Four was in 1941. Pitt beat North Carolina, 26-22, before losing to Wisconsin, 36-30, in the Final Four at Madison, Wisc.
The win over Xavier gave Pittsburgh 31, tying a school record set back in 2003-04. That was the first year under current coach Jamie Dixon.
Probable lineups for Pitt tonight: Tyrell Biggs and Sam Young at F, DeJuan Blair C and Jermaine Dixon and Levance Fields G.

There have been a few thoughts floating around the Celtics that both Stephon Marbury and Mikki Moore have been reluctant to assert themselves offensively so as to not offend the standing rule of law. To wit: Thou shalt not be bigger than the team.
That's fine as far as it goes but it represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the Celtics Code, which is not actually do no harm, but rather, do what you do when you're supposed to do it and do it well. If you're Paul Pierce, for example, that may mean taking over in the fourth quarter when it's needed, or dialing it back when it's not.
So, if you're Mikki Moore it means taking that 17-foot jump shot when the opportunity arises, and if you're Stephon Marbury, it means putting your head down from time to time and going aggressively to the basket. That Moore and Marbury haven't, until Friday night against the Hawks that is, has become something of a problem. (Click here for a recap of the Celtics win over Atlanta).
It's a fine line that needs to be walked and one that the Celtics starting five has mastered to the point where Pierce noted last week that when they are all together, " we are like one." The whole thing speaks to the larger culture that the Celtics have created in a very short amount of time and Moore and Marbury's hesitancy proves that it is not a media myth, but rather something that is well-known and established throughout the league.
Which brings us to the Atlanta Hawks. Former Celtic Joe Johnson is the team's resident All-Star. Mike Bibby is the veteran head. But it's Josh Smith who is the team's zeitgeist and it's fair to say that he and coach Mike Woodson do not always agree on things.
To quote from the Atlanta-Journal piece linked above:
'I want to set the record straight about this one last time,' Woodson said, tugging at the neck of his shirt and leaning forward in his chair. 'This is not now, and has never been, about me hating Josh or Josh hating me. It's not a personal thing. We get along just fine.'
Except for all those times they don't.
Right, and when the coach has to say publicly that he and the team's star player don't hate each other, well, that's not exactly a ringing endorsement of peace, love and understanding. Smith, who is a phenomenally talented player, is under the delusion that he is occasionally a 3-point shooter, and when he does hoist 3's at his career 26.2 percent career clip his team tends to not play well. But when he plays like the athletic freakshow that he is, Smith is capable of doing things like erasing a 20-point deficit in oh, three or four minutes or so.
There's no question that the Hawks bother the Celtics. Whether it was their temerity to take the eventual champs to seven games last spring or their marketing staff's over-the-top theatrics for their first regular season re-match, the Celtics view the Hawks as somewhat less than worthy adversaries. Witness Rajon Rondo's, "It's not a rivalry" quote.
Perhaps it's the Hawks very essence that offends the Celtics so much. A team that talks when it hasn't won anything. A team that shoots 3's when it should be pounding the ball inside. A team with players who seem to do what they want, when they want. It's a bit of a shame that the Hawks and Celtics are probably relegated to the opposite ends of the Eastern Conference bracket because they seem to bring out the worst of each other in a way that's highly entertaining.
Six more observations:
1. The injury to Kevin Garnett has officially become worrisome. At this point there is no guarantee that he is ever going to be 100 percent the rest of the season, and if he's not, it's hard to make the case that the Celtics can repeat as NBA champs. Mike Gorman made an interesting point on the telecast. The Celtics are locked into either the 2 or the 3 slot in the Eastern Conference and it won't matter if they finish one game behind Orlando or four games behind.
The Celtics clearly are not scared of the playing Orlando without homecourt and if so, then it's not worth extending Garnett for the next few weeks.
2. It was not lost on anyone over here at Green Street HQ that Eddie House, and not Stephon Marbury, was summoned from the bench early in the first quarter when Rajon Rondo got two quick fouls. Marbury was left on the bench for the duration of the second half against Orlando Wednesday and his play had sunk to such a level that Garnett felt compelled to sing his praises to the press yesterday.
But when Marbury did get in the game he finally looked like the guy people have been hoping he would be. How does 11 points, two assists and zero turnovers in 17 minutes strike you from your backup point guard?
3. Speaking of E-House, I haven't seen the latest returns in the Sullivan Tire Sixth Man award, but if he isn't the winner then the fans voted for the wrong guy. House has been the one constant off the bench all season and he continued his hot shooting with a dozen points Friday. Once again he was the offense for a good chunk of the second quarter until Marbury got untracked.
4. Last week, Doc Rivers had some strong words for Glen Davis after he went 1-for-11 against the Clippers. "When he comes in the game thinking about being a scorer, then he struggles," Rivers said. "He's a terrific player when he stays within his limitations, and that actually allows him, especially numbers-wise, to play out of people's expectations."
Baby had 19 points and 12 rebounds against the Hawks and he was the best big man on the floor until Smith went crazy in the fourth quarter. He continues to do some things that are frankly amazing, like his huge block on Joe Johnson, but his offensive game was quietly efficient and that's what Rivers wants.
5. While not as brilliant as Marbury, Mikki Moore also had something of a breakout game. After picking up three fouls in about a minute and a half in the third quarter, Moore finally seemed to get it. He finished with 10 rebounds and had some huge defensive stops against Smith late in the game.
6. Hadn't noticed it until Comcast put the numbers up, but Paul Pierce has really struggled at the free throw line in the month of March shooting just 72 percent. That's a fine number, if you play for Syracuse, but for a guy who is at 83 percent on the year, that's a slump.
Pierce has been slowly coming back around. He had a couple of shots rim in and out against the Hawks that would have made his final numbers look better, but 21 points and 37 minutes seem just about right for him for this time of year. Also, Pierce finished the game going 8-for-10 from the line.
Garnett not in starting lineup
|03.27.09 at 7:45 pm ET
The Celtics took the floor against the Hawks Friday night without Kevin Garnett. The All-Star forward had played four games in his return in limited minutes, but he has experienced soreness in his knee and the Celtics elected to shut him down. Celtics GM Danny Ainge told weei.com's Jeff Goodman earlier Friday that they would evaluate Garnett's role for the rest of the regular season next week.
Glen Big Baby Davis started in Garnett's spot.
Trags Take… Villanova-Pittsburgh
|03.27.09 at 5:24 pm ET
East Regional Final No. 3 Villanova (29-7) vs. No. 1 Pittsburgh (31-4), Saturday, 7:05 p.m. TD Banknorth Garden
The Big East has been praised up and down as the best college basketball conference in the land. On Saturday night in Boston, that will be in full display as two of the best teams from the conference square off for the chance to go to the Final Four the following weekend in the Motor City.
Here are five things from each team to look for that will go a long way in determining who will be cutting the Garden nets and getting their motors revved for Detroit.
1. Can Pittsburgh survive another inconsistent performance out of the gate? Most likely the answer to this question is no.
2. Can Pittsburgh avoid the foul trouble that plagued DeJuan Blair in the only other meeting between the two Pennsylvania cross-state rivals on Jan. 28 at the Spectrum?
3. Will Levance Fields start making an impact earlier than the last 60 seconds of the game?
4. Can Sam Young score on Villanova's defense?
5. Will Pittsburgh find a way to control the offensive glass with their bigger front court?
1. Will Dante Cunningham continue to emerge as the most active player on Villanova's roster?
2. Will Villanova be able to do what Xavier did on Thursday night and dribble penetrate in the lane and dish off to wide open scorers?
3. Will Scottie Reynolds finally be the Scottie Reynolds who can score at will?
4. Can Villanova find their long-range touch?
5. Will Villanova dominate the second half as they have in their first three tournament wins?
What they said:
Villanova coach Jay Wright: "We've got three seniors and Scottie (Reynolds) who's played so many games, he's like a senior, have been very, very successful with this year is just put the last game behind them, whether it was a good game or bad game, move on to the next game and keeping their focus on that. So I think that's going to be important. The higher the stakes get the more there's distractions around you. And we're really counting on these upperclassmen to make sure we concentrate on Pitt, who is I know I sound like a broken record, but when you get to this point in the season you're playing great teams. We know them. These seniors have played against their seniors so many times.
"It's going to be a great game. We know each other very well and we've had a lot of great battles. We have great respect for them, as I said last night. We'd love to win this game, but at least I hope we do win, but at least if we don't, there's a Big East team going to the Final Four. We'll be proud of them and happy for them, but I hope it's us."
Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon: "As soon as the game was over it was about who we're going to be playing and getting our guys back to the hotel and getting them rested and preparation for the next one. I think it's an interesting thing. I know there's about 330 programs that would like to ask that question and call the Sweet 16 like a bad thing. It's been an accomplishment. It's something that we as a program I never considered as a possibility, and we were getting there on more often than everybody but two schools in the country. So I think Kansas and Duke are one up on us. So we've had a very good run, very good success. But at the same time we know that a National Championship is something that we have as a goal."
Trags Take: Villanova coach Jay Wright says that the Final Four isn't a specific goal for his team. Jamie Dixon of Pitt says it is. Wright says he just wants his team playing their best basketball. And they are. They are outscoring their opponents by a total of 50 points in the second halves of their three NCAA games so far. Games are won in the the second half, just ask Pittsburgh who had to get a prayer answered when Levance Fields drained a long, long three-pointer in the final minute to carry the Panthers to victory. Villanova has the guard play and depth that Xavier didn't. Villanova will be revving their motors following this one and off to the Final Four for the first time since their magical 1985 title season.
Villanova 75, Pittsburgh 63
Never let them see you sweat
|03.27.09 at 4:54 pm ET
So, you thought all stories about gross, sweaty basketball arenas were reserved for a certain former basketball venue on Causeway Street in the mid-80s when the Los Angeles Lakers came to town for the NBA Finals? Think again.
The old Philadelphia Spectrum, now the Wachovia Spectrum, will be raised this spring but before that they had some significant 'lasts' in that old facility on Pattison and Broad in South Philly.
One of which occurred on Jan. 28 when Pittsburgh visited Villanova for the last college game ever to be played in the legendary building. The Spectrum, which also hosted the 1976 and 1981 NCAA Final Four won by Bobby Knight's Indiana Hoosiers, was transformed into a sweatbox that night as the heat was cranked up, making the building feel like a sauna, circa the 1984-85 NBA Finals in Boston.
Villanova coach Jay Wright prides himself on his well-dressed manner on the sideline. On this night, that was a challenge as big as containing Pitt's DeJuan Blair.
"I know they didn't know anything about the Spectrum," Wright said on Friday of his players' appreciation of the Spectrum. "But in that second half when that place got going and it was so hot in there. I pride myself I don't sweat too much. I was just sweating like crazy. And my friends were busting my chops bout going to my hanky all the time. I don't ever remember being in a game like that. It was so hot and so loud."
But as was the case in the 80s with Bird, Parish and McHale and Ainge and D.J., the home team had a little something to do with Villanova knocking off then-No. 3 Pittsburgh, 67-57.
"The second thing was, Shane Clark in the second half coming up with all those big offensive rebounds. Reggie Redding, big shots," Wright added. "Corey Fisher, big shots. They really hadn't done that before in Big East games. And that's what kind of got us going is they knew Pitt were they No. 1 or No. 2, 3? But they knew they were a great team. And now they do it against a great team and they got confidence and we got confidence in them. That's what I think really happened.
"I swear, that building had a lot to do with it. I really do think it does. Just the crowd, I mean," Wright said.
Now, on Saturday night, he's hoping the Nova fans in the Garden turn up the heat again on the Panthers.
Get creative
|03.27.09 at 4:37 pm ET
Props to Mike Vega, our distinguished colleague at the Boston Globe for the following question on the off-day before Saturday's East Regional final between Villanova and Pittsburgh.
With Villanova coach Jay Wright on the dais, joined by five players, Vega asked the following:
This is for each one of you guys, and I'd like you to take the time to maybe think and just give me your quick response to who on the Pitt team, who on Pitt's team best defines the term straight baller? Who on that team best defines that, each one of you?
DWAYNE ANDERSON: I'm not sure if you can choose one player, that's why they're in the position they are.
Q. Choose one. (Vega countered)
DWAYNE ANDERSON: Levance Fields.
SHANE CLARK: I'm going to have to go with Sam Young.
DANTE CUNNINGHAM: (DeJuan) Blair.
REGGIE REDDING: (Jermaine) Dixon.
SCOTTIE REYNOLDS: Whoever is left. It's (Tyrelle) Biggs, yeah. (Laughter.)
Q. Among the starting lineup, who is the guy that stands above the rest?
DWAYNE ANDERSON: I think probably Levance Fields, as you saw last night. At the end of the game he wants the ball in his hands. And he didn't score that much in the beginning of the game, but he made other plays on the defensive end. That just shows how great of a player he is. He took that shot when they were only down two. Levance Fields, he's their motivation, he keeps them going.
Vega also posed the same to Pittsburgh players and here were their answers:
TYRELL BIGGS: Corey Fisher.
JERMAINE DIXON: I would definitely have to say Corey Fisher, too.
DeJUAN BLAIR: I'd say Scottie (Reynolds). He's the general for their team.
LEVANCE FIELDS: Fisher.
SAM YOUNG: I'll say Dante (Cunningham), because he plays tough and he's aggressive. He always does whatever it takes to win.

Abuja — Aloy Agu, former Goalkeeper of the Super Eagles, on Tuesday advised the team to improve on their match in the quarter finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations tournament in South Africa.
Agu in Abuja said that the advice would make the team to progress to the semi-final stage.
Agu said while reacting to the Super Eagles 2-0 victory over Ethiopia that it would have been unthinkable if the Ethiopians had sent the Eagles packing from the tournament.
The current Goalkeeper-Trainer of the Flying Eagles said the squad had the capacity to confront any team in the quarter finals, be it Cote d' Ivoire, Tunisia or Togo.
Agu urged Goal Keeper Vincent Enyeama to be more focused now that the tournament had entered the knockout stage.
He said that any momentary loss of concentration could deny the team victory in the quarter finals, adding that with more determination, the eagles could surprise their next opponents.
Mr Godwin Bamigboye, the Chairman, Nigeria Coaches Association, FCT Chapter, said the team needed to work hard on their scoring skills to win the trophy.
"We are going to face the next challenge - Cote d' Ivoire, and that is a good team.
"The players have tried so far but they need to work on their scoring. Our team is not the scoring type and that is a big problem.
"That is the area we need to work on, but I congratulate Keshi and the boys for coming this far," he said.
Danladi Nasidi, Coach of the Under 15 National Team, said there was need for the players to be focused and hardworking.
"There is no laziness in football. All the players have to be focused because there is no individuality and laziness in the game of football.
"All the departments have to work harder. Let all the departments cooperate. The mid fielders, defenders, attackers, have to work together and concentrate."
The Chairman, FCT Football Association, Musa Talle, commended the team for the victory and urged Nigerians to continue to support and pray for them.
Talle said the team would have no excuse not to win the cup, having reached the quarter final.
"All they need to do is to keep improving on their games.
Mr Mathew Abraham, a Special Adviser to the Kebbi State Governor, said the win was heart-warming but that Super Eagles needed to dictate the match from the outset.
Bashir Meyere, a journalist, said the eagles must rekindle the zeal to dictate the pace of matches.
"We thank God that the team showed maturity and guts to win but the match against Cote d' Ivoire must be won convincingly," he added.
The Enugu State Chairman of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Mr Nobert Okolie, advised Keshi to work on the team's defence, to move forward.
"It was a good match. The coach is building a new team for Nigeria but he needs to do more in the area of defence.
"Defence has been our major problem. Keshi should look into the direction of home based players," he said.
Mr Okey Umahi, a businessman, expressed delight that the Super Eagles broke the jinx of playing draws in their previous matches.
"I am happy we broke the jinx of eating draw soup. Keshi should tighten his belt because the team will face Cote d'Ivoire in the quarter final," he said.
Another fan, Mrs Chieso Aniwagwa, hailed the team for its victory and urged them to work harder to win the cup.
NAN reports that Nigeria defeated Ethiopia on Tuesday to move to the next round of the AFCON championship. (NAN)

I don't expect you'll have as much trouble as you think. The '83 YZ chassis hugely favored stability, and I'd expect the IT chassis to be at least equal in that regard. When I first started riding my buddy's 490, I hadn't a lot of dirt-bike experience, but at some point I realized that on the 490 I almost never had the urge to put my foot down. You know, the classic rookie move to "catch" the bike if it slips out on a turn. Eventually, I realized it was likely that stable geometry giving me a sense of security and plantedness. Obvioulsy that comes at the expense of quick steering, but that's what it is.
These big engines are very versatile and have a lot of inertia. You won't struggle with stalling in the mud as much as you might on a smaller bike. Especially with the IT state of tune. It should be an absolute tractor.
I was surprised at how the YZ490 didn't feel that held back by its 4-speed transmission. My KTM has a 5-speed, but 1st feels pretty pointless a lot of the time and I rarely get a chance to wind out 5th. My bike would probably be fine with a 4-speed too, except when 1st gear is needed in the tough stuff to prop up the lacking low-end power the "little" 440 makes.
Compared to the YZ transmission, the IT adds a lower 1st gear, then 2nd-4th are about the same as 1st-3rd on the YZ, and finally the IT has a slightly taller top gear than the YZ. Bottom line, the bike has a wide spread of gears, and should be able to pull that tall gearing without issue.
If you're new to open classers, experiment with setting your idle speed lower than you might be used to, and learn to use the clutch to uncouple that engine inertia to keep it from driving you ahead even when you're off the power. Pulling in the clutch on a big bike will also help you make tighter turns.
On a little bike, you use the clutch to prevent keep the engine from being overpowered by the bike (bogging or stalling). On a big bike, you use the clutch to keep the engine inertia from overpowering the chassis.
For tires for the mud, pair a Michelin S12 front with an IRC M5B rear. The M5B comes in wide sizes for open class bikes. The M5B is really amazing in the mud, but rocks and hard terrain will chew it up fast. This is the combo I'm running on my KTM, and I love it. However, my next rear will be a Michelin S12. It also comes in wide sizes (although I've heard their wide sizes run a bit narrower), and I've heard they hold up a bit better on varied terrain, considering the S12 is a soft terrain tire. Basically, I've been told the S12 is a "general use" soft terrain tire, while the M5B is a mud/sand specialist.
If you're not used to drum brakes, you'll want to run grooved shoes, especially in the mud. Vesrah makes them:
You can also just cut similar grooves in the shoes you have with die grinder cutoff wheel or similar. Wet braking will be dramatically improved with grooved brake shoes.
Does your IT have the dual-leading-shoe front brake? The YZs got them in '81 (but I don't know with the ITs). If yours is a single-leading-shoe, the DLS setup will really help you get the most that drum brakes have to offer, while staying period-correct.
In case you're interested, here are the power differences between the '83 IT and YZ 490s, from period magazine tests:
(sorry, I don't have the '82 numbers)

This drawing started out as a simple hand sketch. When I was rendering it in Photoshop, I couldn't stop. So this is the result of spending to much time on a drawing:

Close to three hours was devoted to an application before the Sag Harbor Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) at a meeting which ended just after 10 p.m. Tuesday. It was a harbinger of meetings to come on what has emerged as one of the more controversial development applications in recent years.
Tuesday night marked the first public hearing on John Leonard's proposal to demolish the Harbor Heights Service Station and redevelop the property to include a convenience store.
The project has been in front of the planning board for over two years. On Tuesday Leonard's attorney, Dennis Downes, and two engineers made their first pitch to the ZBA on why they believe Leonard should be granted relief from the village code to construct the project.
The meeting was cut short by the board and tabled until next month's meeting on February 19, but not before a handful of residents spoke in protest of the application, including Rev. Kenneth Nelson of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Zion Conference of New York which oversees the nearby church.
He said not only were church officials opposed to the project, but also say they were never informed of the proposal.
Nelson, from Oyster Bay, noted he is a descendent of Lewis Cuffee, who built the Sag Harbor AME Zion Church in 1840. He questioned why the church conference was not notified about this application.
Village attorney Denise Schoen noted that because it is a religious institution, there was no way for the applicant to track down an address for the church on tax rolls.
"I am not saying that is right or wrong," noted board member Michael Bromberg.
"We will be protesting our feelings of the sale of alcohol so close to the church," said Rev. Nelson, adding the village should also anticipate issues associated with a store so close to the schools drawing children down a heavily traveled road.
"And they will go there because a convenience store is where they can get a hold of everything they want," said Rev. Nelson. "It will be a hang out for youth that have nothing else to do and we are against that environment."
Rev. Nelson spoke after a presentation that lasted over two hours by Leonard's team.
In his opening, Downes noted while the property is zoned residential, it has operated in a commercial fashion for over a century, starting in the 1900s when Jim McMahon operated a sand mine at the site.
"This is an antiquated and out of date facility that needs to be upgraded to remain a viable business," said engineer Chris Tartaglia.
Leonard is proposing a 1,842 square-foot building, with a 972 square-foot convenience store within it. Several areas, where goods are not visible, including the bathroom, are not counted towards the square-footage.
The service station building will also be expanded slightly. Four pump islands with eight fueling positions is proposed under a canopy, as are two new curb cuts into the property, 32 parking spaces and new landscaping.
Tartaglia said the reasoning for this kind of development is tied to the evolution of the gas station business. He blamed increased fuel economy standards for vehicles for bringing down profits, as well as the increase in leased cars in decreasing the demand for small service stations.
Convenience stores, he added, are a way to bridge the gap.
Average profit on fuel is $0.04 per gallon, said Tartaglia, quoting a report from planning board member Larry Perrine, as opposed to $0.40 for a can of soda.
Tartaglia noted he believes the code, which details the setback, landscaping and size requirements for a convenience store as accessory to a fueling station, was not written in a way that would allow Leonard to develop the property.
For example, Tartaglia noted the code requires a limited height on accessory structures of 15 feet, when the bottom of the canopy measures 14 feet to accommodate fuel delivery trucks. There is no way, he said, to include the necessary fire suppression equipment in less than a foot.
Leonard needs a variance from the ZBA for the 23.75 foot canopy and its height.
Tartaglia also said the 600 square-foot limitation on store size was unique on the East End and an arbitrary figure.
The proposal needs a variance for a front yard setback of 50 feet for the store building, where 27.2 feet are proposed and also a setback variance for the canopy, which is proposed at 23.2 feet.
It also needs a variance for its landscape buffer, proposed between nine and 20 feet as opposed to the 30 feet required on all sides of the property under the code.
Tartaglia said this would significantly reduce what is possible on the property and noted they plan to use dense evergreen trees.
They also need a variance for overall landscape, which is proposed at 30 percent as opposed to the 35 percent required by code.
Tartaglia said achieving 35 percent is not possible. He added just one-percent of the property is currently landscaped.
They also need a variance for a freestanding sign just two feet from Route 114 where 20 feet is normally required.
"I am not certain how many of you would pull into a station if there was not a sign telling people how much they are charging for gas," said Tartaglia.
He declined to give further details about how the sign would be illuminated, but Schoen said the board would need that information to make a decision.
Likely the most critical variance Leonard needs is for the size of the store, which is capped under the code at 600 square-feet.
Tartaglia argued without "a complete product offering" at the store, Leonard could not make a reasonable return on his investment.
He said the economic impact of reducing the store to 600 square feet would result in nine coolers for beverages, as opposed to 11; 26 linear feet of retail counter space, as opposed to 80 linear feet and 18.7 feet of equipment counter length as opposed to 35.2 feet.
Bromberg questioned the 972 square-foot size of the store, noting wall-to-wall the building is upwards of 1600-square-feet.
"I guess it is up to us to make that interpretation," said Bromberg.
Traffic engineer Charles Olivio said he has never worked on a project involving a gas station where cars fuel in the right of way, as is currently the setup at Harbor Heights.
"Its atypical and dangerous," he said.
Based on his studies, Olivio says he believes a large amount of new traffic will come from existing traffic on the roadway, with one new vehicle every four to six minutes expected as a result of the project.
That could amount to a 40 percent overall increase, argued chairman Anton Hagen.
"What is important to us — and of course that is different than what is important to you — is to look at the impact on that increase to the community," said Hagen.
"The goal is to provide a modern site, products and amenities," said Olivio, adding he believes it will increase the safety of the site and that a new car every four to six minutes at peak hours is not a significant increase.
Anita Rainford, president of the Azurest Homeowners Association, which has been joined by a number of homeowner associations off Route 114 in opposing the project, said studies should also include allowances for bikers, joggers and walkers.
She also questioned the noise study, wondering how it was possible such an expansion would not result in an increase in noise. A lighted canopy, she added, would certainly increase the light emanating from the property.
Save Sag Harbor, which has also opposed the project, was represented by attorney Jeff Bragman, who said that group would speak at length at the February 19 meeting.
When over 40 people stood in response to who in the room was opposed to the project, Downes snapped, "Zoning is not about numbers. You could have 1,000 people in here and it wouldn't matter."

Open-Back Knit Dress 18 18
Too tight I found the bodice too tight. I am a size 8-10 and ordered a medium. I would recommend it for a younger , more slender body. July 2, 2015
frumpy and cheap looking Cute in pictures, and yes it's true, it did hide the bra straps, but overall this was a dowdy piece made of seemingly low quality material. October 27, 2014
Flattering Knit Dress The description of "fit and flare" is apropos; the top portion fits well and the skirt flares. But, it's the perfect amount of flare; doesn't make me feel like a little girl. When I first tried it on, I thought the top may be too tight, but after wearing it for 15 minutes, it became very comfortable, as if the dress were holding me together. I'm 5'6", 135 lbs, broad shouldered, a 36C and ordered the small in black. If you are any bigger than a 36C, size up. The material has substance, not a thin knit. Yet the skirt drapes nicely. A slip is not necessary. I would wear this dress to the office with a cardi, then take the cardi off for an evening out, or wear it shopping with some comfy sandals or flats. August 2, 2014
The home run LBD I love this dress! I can wear it to work, to important meetings, and out to dinner with my husband. The fabric has enough body to feel well made and skim over any little lumps or bumps. The sleeves reach to the elbow which is very flattering and extends the season I can comfortably wear this dress. I am 5'7" and the length is just to the top of my knee. I have a number of tee shirt dresses so this dress with the *slightly* gathered waist is a nice change without being puffy or not looking tailored. I love this dress. August 1, 2014
cute and comfy dress I love any kind of embellishment - even if it is in the form of a cutout bow - love the fit and will be great for travel - I will be trying it out next week! July 31, 2014
Cute Summer Dress This is a great dress. The fabric is a good weight and the fit is perfect. Although there is a cutout on the back, coverage is good and my bra strap does not show. It will look cute with flats or heels and can be worn to many events, more on the casual or very slightly dressy side. I ordered my normal size "S" and the fit is perfect. May 17, 2014

A typical organic waste, petroleum drill cuttings containing hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and chlorides, was treated by stabilization/solidification (S/S) using cement and high carbon fly ash. Analytical techniques, including differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry/microspectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis, were used to investigate the effect of drill cuttings on binder hydration products, the interaction between binders and drill cuttings, and the type of immobilization mechanism occurring. Results show that both high carbon fly ash and drill cuttings addition decreased the amounts of binder hydration products. Hydrocarbons were discovered to be physically trapped by micro- and macroencapsulation in the matrix formed by binder hydration. Chemical interaction was observed between binders and chlorides leading to Friedel's salt formation. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared analysis of residues from leaching test indicated that exposure of S/S products to leaching conditions could compromise their integrity. This work demonstrates use of these techniques to investigate the interactions between a waste and binder during S/S, thus aiding the development of an effective S/S system.

press release
June 10, 2012
SSHURSA supports Malawian President's position on Sudan's President Bashir's entry to Malawi, calls on African countries into action against impunity:
The South Sudan Human Rights Society for Advocacy (SSHURSA) welcomes and supports the bold step taken by the Malawian President Joyce Banda on Friday June 8, 2012, in refusing to enter to Malawi the Sudan's President Omar Hassan Al Bashir for the African Union Summit next month. Bashir is wanted suspect of serious international crimes and has been vicariously charged liable for killing in thousands his own fellow citizens, the people of Darfur since 2003 when the war erupted in the region.
The step taken by Malawian cabinet ministers to endorse the decision of President Banda is a big bold step in the right direction which SSHURSA gives credits for, to people of Malawi. It is better for a country like Malawi to have seen what most African countries do not see. How pathetic that the African Union cannot see and sympathize with the blood of people of Darfur, the right to life of the poor innocent people most of whom children and women being terminated and killed on daily basis by the Sudan Armed Forces and Khartoum sponsored Janjaweed militias, all under President Bashir?
SSHURSA urges the African Countries to boldly come out from such hypocrisies because their silence is harmful to the suffering people of Darfur, Southern Kordufan and Blue Nile whom Bashir's government is determined to wipe off on the face of earth. Let the African Union choose to be with the side of justice and oppressed rather than pleasing the oppressor. "Impunity in the world must come to an end because no any human person can claim the infallibilty".
Therefore, SSHURSA urges all world leaders to avoid commiting attrocities or crimes against humanity and the Uinversality of human rights must be respected at all times and everywhere.

ANCHORAGE – A new study released this week and conducted by Darryl Wood, associate professor in the University of Alaska Anchorage's Justice Center, and Paul Gruenewald of the Prevention Research Center of Berkeley, CA, looks at rural communities that have banned alcohol and how the ban has impacted the communities in terms of serious injuries.
The statistical evidence from this study shows that while the prohibition of alcohol is an important first step, villages have the lowest rates of serious assaults when they are also served by a recognized police authority," said Wood.
The findings of the study indicate that fewer serious injuries occur in the villages that have put in place the local option, and, further, that in those villages which also have a local police presence in addition to the prohibition on alcohol, there are fewer injuries from assaults.
The findings are the focus of an article in the March 2006 issue of the journal Addiction. The article is titled "Local alcohol prohibition, police presence and serious injury in isolated Alaska Native villages."
Since the 1980s, rural Alaska communities have been able to ban the sale, importation, and possession of alcoholic beverages. To what extent has the application of this local option resulted in fewer serious injuries in these villages? And is the presence or absence of a local police authority associated in any way with effects of the local option? The article appearing in Addiction discusses recent research relating to these two questions.
Legal prohibitions on alcohol sale, possession and use have not proved particularly effective on Indian reservations in the lower 48 states, but previous research has indicated that in geographically isolated communities, such as Alaska Native villages off the road system, local prohibition may be more effective.
The research undertaken by Wood and Gruenewald has advanced the previous work. Their study examined the effects of alcohol prohibition and police presence on serious injury in 132 isolated Alaska Native villages over the period from 1991 through 2000.
According to Wood, "The two other studies conducted on a statewide basis found that local prohibition reduces the incidence of deaths caused by accidents and intentional violence. Our study confirms these earlier studies in terms of the effects of local prohibition upon serious injury." While earlier studies considered only the effect of prohibition, "This study expands upon those studies by also considering the effects of a lack of local police presence upon problems typically brought about by alcohol use," Wood said.
The study measured serious injury through the Alaska Trauma Registry and death certificate records of the Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics. Local option election records and police deployment records were used to classify cases as occurring in wet, damp or dry villages, with or without a police presence. The analysis revealed that villages that prohibit alcohol have lower age-adjusted rates of serious injury resulting from assault, motor vehicle collisions and "other causes." Dry villages with a local police presence have a lower age-adjusted rate of serious injury caused by assault.
According to Gruenewald, future research can further clarify "the conditions under which local alcohol prohibitions are most effective. That way we can make specific policy recommendations for specific places." Gruenewald notes, "Although national prohibitions on alcohol are generally ineffective, and in terms of crime counter-productive, local prohibitions can be very effective in reducing harms related to alcohol."

If you've spent any time living in southwest Michigan or northwest Indiana, you know that this area has a tremendous craft beer scene. From the Michigan staple, Bell's up by Kalamazoo, to our own backyard breweries like Iechyd Da Brewing Company and Greenbush, finding a great pint is always easy. While this is great news for beer lovers, having this much great beer at your fingertips can also make it difficult to find and sample everything that the local brewers have to offer. Luckily, that won't be a problem this year thanks to the 2013 South Bend Brewfest.
The 2013 South Bend Brewfest is your ticket to sampling some of the best beers that this area, and from across the country, have to offer. This is actually the second annual South Bend Brewfest, but the last one was held back in October of 2011. It was a great success and a lot of work has been put into making the second event even better. This year, the Brewfest is in the Great Hall at the Century Center, which is a perfect space when you have over 30 different breweries on hand to serve up over 125 different beers.
2013 South Bend Brewfest Event Details
- Saturday January 12, 2013Century Center Great Hall
- 1pm – 5pm
- Tickets are $35 and include
- Commemorative glass, program and food coupon
- Designated driver tickets are available for $10 and include:
- Food coupon and unlimited soda / water
- Tickets are available at the Morris Center box office
Purchase your ticks early at the Morris Center box office, or at the door the day of the event. Designated driver tickets are only available for purchase at the door. If you aren't familiar with the Century Center, it's located at 120 South Saint Joseph St. in downtown South Bend. See this map for directions.
Beer and Breweries Attending
The list is still growing, but so far there are over 30 confirmed breweries attending and they will be serving up over 125 different beers. Plan on a long day of sampling beer, speaking with some of the local brewers, and making new beer friends. As a beer lover and home brewer, I always find these events not only a lot of fun, but very educational. Learning about all the different beer styles, how the beer is made, and how to pair beer with food.
Here is the current list of breweries and the beers being offered. This is subject to change:
- Abita: Purple Haze, Turbo Dog, Jockamo, Amber
- Bare Hand's Brewery: 754 Pale Ale, cask of Double 754 with extra hops in the firkin, and more.
- Barley Island Brewing Company: Barfly, Dirty Helen, Brass Knuckles, Sheet Metal

Trem pedal like never before.
One of the greatest effects in the history of amplified music is the tremelo effect. It can invoke dirty little juke joints in the Midwest, swampy bayous in the deep South, psychedelical mind trips in the West or any number of other regional feels and climates. The Z-Vex Super Seek Trem offers a programmability and sound quality that surpasses the iconic amplifiers fo the 50s and 60s that defined this sound.
The step sequence feature along with tap tempo, MIDI IN/THRU for sync, expression pedal ports, glissando control between steps for groove and swing, a hold feature, the ability to choose between 1-16 steps in the sequencer to accommodate any time signature and much more.

ERROR! (ret = -1)
I searched and searched and no one seems to be getting this. Am I really the only one? I need major help!
could be several different issues. such as an IOS not installed properly or missing. Could be a compatibilty issue with the USB card. Incorrect formatting of the USB card.
There is a USB issue guide located in FAQ's section I believe on all of this.

Not so much a prank as a message... intended for a relatively short

My family has been going to A&W since 1973, my 3 sons and all my grand children have been going there sice they were infants. We always had a great time at the Friday night cruises and always made sure we booked our spots when the Hot Rod Supernationals came to town, what a blast and good times to remember. Even once we sold our hot rod we continued to go to the cruises, everybody was always so polite and the people really enjoyed being there, Rick is one in a million, always walking around talking and laughing with everyone, we always stopped down at least a couple times a week just to chat and have our ice cold rootbeer in the MUG !!!! Sorry to see you go A&W, you will be missed, thanks for the memories.

mp37 may be done but I want to say something. If your FRIEND was a friend of his then he knew darn well the person Jose was. I got to meet him a few years ago and let me tell you, he was a person that no one will ever forget. I am not a young person that knew him like they knew him but my sons friends are like my own kids and they have places in my heart. This is ridiculous, every body arguing over this crap. Let the man rest in peace. I was at his funeral and for anyone to have hatred about him was not seen at the funeral home, there was people lined up to pay their respects to his family and friends, so many people in tears and sobbing that you didn't have time to think about the tragic accident. I've been to the crash sight and talked to people that live near it, no one, I mean no one had anything bad to say about Jose, they all were very comforting to anyone who stopped and sent their prayers to the family and friends. If you believe in God enough to say GOD loves you then you shouldn't write the things you have written because God would NOT love you for it. We are all God's children, even Jose......

AskmeifIcare - Yes, I was at the crash scene several times, did you SEE what I saw laying all over the ground???? Thats what I meant by the township doing what they needed to do. Do you think his family and friends wanted to see what they DIDNT clean up????? No matter what this person did in life it does not mean that he was the worst person on earth and they did not deserve to die. Yeah, maybe drugs and alcohol were involved but AGAIN, that does not mean that they were not human beings that loved thier families and thier friends. I AM grateful that they didn't take any other lives and that it was 3 am and not pm, I was at the scene yesterday at the time there was kids getting off the school bus and telling them to watch where they stepped because of the fantastic clean up. There are hearts breaking right now and tears flowing because of this loss and I agree that everyone needs to be thinking of the family and friends. RIP Jose and Dale and God Bless.

Kind of ????? It's called an accident for a reason. All of us have made mistakes in our lives and these 2 young men did not ask to have their lives taken, everyone of us have disrespect for speed. I knew one of these young men and he left a 5 year old daughter, they were brothers. Have some respect for their friends and loved ones. This was horrific and I personally think that the township needs to step up and do what they needed to do. Just saying. 2 young men have lost thier lives and they will never be replaced. This is sad no matter how you look at it. I have sons and friends of my sons that I consider MY sons and I would not want to have to face something like this. RIP Jose and Dale. Everyone is in our thoughts and prayers.

My dear brother was shot and killed in broad daylight and was the 39th homicide in this damn city in 1993 and no one, I MEAN NO ONE has ever solved his case and we haven't heard from anybody from the fantastic Youngstown Police Dept in years. 2009 don't make me laugh !!!!!

text: Blood Risk Assessment WorkshopConduct Blood Risk Assessment Workshop with stakeholders. The workshop conveys information to stakeholders on important statistical, epidemiological, and risk assessment considerations for the regulation of blood and blood products. The workshop advances the FDA Transparency Initiative by enhancing stakeholders' understanding of risk assessment and its role in the regulatory decision-making process.On May 13 and 14, 2010, CBER held a workshop on quantitative risk assessment on blood safety and availability for CBER stakeholders. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the structure of risk assessment, to present a case-study (Malaria exposure and blood donor deferral) demonstrating risk assessment principles, and to solicit stakeholder input on how to better involve stakeholders in complex risk assessments. Stakeholders from the patient advocacy groups and from the regulated industry provided feedback in presentations and during panel discussions. Stakeholder input from the workshop has enabled OBE to consider new strategies for addressing questions regarding risk management and communications. For example, complex risk assessments may require special consideration. Public meetings might be needed either within or outside of the advisory committees meetings to present and discuss the critical assumptions of a risk assessment early in the process.

Review: Jitterbug
Form Function Video Wrap Up Comments
Replying to: Beware this is a poorly run company. by glmason
Re: Beware this is a poorly run company.
In addition to the above listed problems, my phone came with a number which has the wrong area code. In order to change it I need to call customer service. The how-to-guide lists the number as 1-800-733-6632 which is not answered. An insert which came with the phone gives the Jitterbug Customer Service number as 1-877-296-4334 and the personnel who answer tell me that they are not Customer Service , they are the Operator. When I try to change the erroneous area code, I am advised to call Customer Service at 1-800-733-6632 where there is no answer. Ergo, if I call my neighbor who has the same area code as I do, I will be charged for a long distance call. I don't think this is poor management, I think this is deliberate.

Both were honorable mention selections by the league's head coaches. It is the second straight season Loubeau has been recognized, while Turner-in his first year of eligibility after redshirting last season-earns his first Big 12 accolade.
Loubeau, a 6-8 senior from Miami, finished the regular season third on the team in scoring (11.0 ppg) and rebounding (4.5 rpg). His field-goal percentage of 47.5 and free-throw percentage of 74.3 were both second-best on the squad, and he recorded 21 double-digit scoring games this winter. This season, Loubeau became one of only 16 players in school history to score 1,000 career points and grab 500 career rebounds.
Turner, a 6-5 junior from Sacramento, was the Aggies' leading scorer and three-point shooter this year. He averaged 14.0 points, which ranks in the top 10 of the Big 12 leaderboard, and connected on 68 treys-one of the highest single-season totals in program history. Turner reached 20 points a team-best seven times and averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in seven games against top-15 opponents.
The official All-Big 12 awards are selected by the league's head coaches, who are not allowed to vote for their own players.
Texas A&M (13-17) returns to the court as the No. 9 seed for this week's Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. The Aggies will open play at Sprint Center in Kansas City on Wednesday at 6 p.m. (CT) against No. 8-seed Oklahoma (15-15). The game will air on the Big 12 Network.

Former Government vet Kirk Thompson, 46, who played a major role in the response to the bird flu out-break, left the body under a duvet and later engaged in sex with another man.
During the violent session, which was set up on the internet and lasted several hours at Thompson's Jes-mond flat, he burnt David Kochs, 43, and caused severe internal injuries, cutting him with surgical equipment he had acquired from his veterinary background.
A jury at Newcastle Crown Court found Thompson guilty of manslaughter and a charge of actual bodily harm on Wednesday.
Passing sentence yesterday, Mr Justice Globe told him: "What you did to David Kochs was unusual, exceptional and undoubtedly dangerous and unlawful."

Natural Skin Care By M U V A Z I®
Confucius says "The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell."
We agree with Confucius here. M U V A Z I® has built results into our product, and then we doubled it!
Understanding what is right is a great start in reinventing natural skin care and how it meets the expectations of its customers. Let's take Oat Beta Glucan for instance, studies have been done on its effectiveness in treating fine lines and wrinkles and was tested at ½ %, we liked the studies and doubled it. M U V A Z I® starts with 1% Oat beta Glucan.
Once again returning to understanding what is right instead of what sells, other skin care lines may use 1% - 3% of a 1% solution in a formulation.
M U V A Z I® Natural Skin Care likes to take results and double them as a minimum.
We don't want to give away all of our proprietary information here as this would not be wise, but sufficed to say that M U V A Z I® uses more Oat Beta Glucan in our Hydrating Face Serum than any one!
What does this mean for you potentially? It means that we have formulated for what is right, not just what will sell, understanding that what is right will ultimately sell.
If you are tired of looking and trying skin care systems and being disappointed, then give us a try and see why customers say things like this about M U V A Z I®. . .
"This is absolutely the best skin care system I have ever used! I have a drawer full of products I have tried and disliked. I could tell my skin felt different the first time I used it. My skin feels alive finally! It's softer and younger looking already, after a month's use. I will be a life-time user now. Thanks for making the product that I have been looking for forever! I'm cleaning out the drawer and throwing all my other products in the trash! Thank you!"
Donna Carter from Collierville Tennessee, you are welcome and thank you for sharing your experience with M U V A Z I®.

Eastern now 3-0 in LEC tournament after downing Keene, 10-0
MANSFIELD, Conn. - Two-time Little East conference Softball Tournament MVP Molly Rathbun (Hebron) of Eastern Connecticut State University struck out 15 for her 27th consecutive victory as the Warriors moved into the championship round of the 2012 LEC Tournament with a 10-0 victory over Keene State College Friday afternoon at the Eastern Softball Field.
At right: Molly Rathbun
Top-seeded Eastern (39-1) which tied the program record for season wins with its 38th straight victory, is the only remaining undefeated team and needs one win (in two tries) to claim its third straight title . Second-seeded Keene (25-9-1) faces fifth-seeded Western Connecticut State University (29-14) in an elimination game Saturday at noon. The winner must defeat Eastern twice later in the day to unseat the two-time defending champions.
Rathbun (28-1) won her third straight tournament game and has now been the pitcher of record in the team's last ten wins. She allowed only four hits in a game which featured 18 hits but no extra base hits.
Eastern, ranked No. 2 nationally, broke open a tight game with six runs on six hits in chasing senioir pitcher Emily Albin. Trailing 1-0, Keene threatened against Rathbun in the bottom of the third but Rathbun left runners on the corners with a swinging strikeout to end the threat. The first six batters reached safely for Eastern two innings later. Sophomore, Mattie Brett (Waterford) drove in two runs in the inning with a single, with junior Arielle Cooper (Mystic), junior Kassondra Silva (Hamden), senior Priscilla Alicea (Stratford) and Rathbun all plating one.
Already the program's career hit leader, Priscilla Alicea (at right) reached the 200-hit plateau Friday.
Alicea, Rathbun and Brett all drove in two runs in the game. Alicea had three hits and scored two runs and Rathbun, Cooper and sophomore Megan Godwin (Manchester) all had two hits. Alicea collected her 200th career hit in the game and Cooper extended her program record hitting streak to 31. Rathbun became the first pitcher to shut out Keene this year since the Owls' season-opener.
Eastern 13, Rhode Island 2 (6)
In a battle of teams which had won their Thursday openers, the Warriors opened play Friday with a 13-2 win over third-seeded Rhode Island College.
The Warriors threatened right off the bat in the top of the first. RIC junior pitcher Emily Johnson got two quick outs, but Cooper singled through the left side and Godwin singled up the middle. Brett was hit by a pitch to load the bases, but Emily Johnson induced a ground out to get out of the jam.
The Anchorwomen used the momentum to take a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the frame, courtesy of Stacy Pokora's eighth home run of the year. It was Pokora's second homer in as many games at the tourney.
Eastern tied the game up and then took the lead in the fourth as freshman left fielder Shannon Martin (Wethersfield) led off with a single through the left side and was lifted for junior pinch runner Courtney Weber (Groton). Weber promptly moved up to second on a wild pitch and Silva delivered a game-tying single up the middle.
With two out and the bases full, Cooper singled to second base, bringing in junior first baseman Kelly Paterson (Southington) and senior pinch runner Christine Yeomans (Durham). Godwin then singled in Rathbun and Brett delivered a lethal blow with a three-run homer (2) to left field, making it a 7-1 advantage for the top seed.
RIC loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning as Johnson doubled, junior right fielder Kristina Gingell singled and freshman first baseman Justin Thoma picked up a base knock. Freshman third baseman Monica Koehler plated Gingell with a one-out walk, but Rathbun recovered to strike out the next two hitters she faced to end the comeback bid.
Rathbun drew a one-out walk in the fifth and Cooper smacked a two-run homer (9) to center field to increase the visitor's lead to seven runs, 9-2.
In the sixth, junior relief pitcher Christine Acker (Milford) and sophomore pinch hitter Stephanie Johnson (Plantsville) each singled, with Acker moving up to third on an Anchorwoman error. With one down, Alicea walked to load the bases. Rathbun helped her own cause with grand slam (4) to center field to make it a 13-2 ballgame.
Rathbun pitched another strong game to get the win, allowing just two runs on five hits to go along with six strikeouts in four innings of work. Acker allowed just one hit in two innings of relief.
Johnson (8-10) took the loss, allowing eight runs on nine hits, to go along with seven walks and two strikeouts.
Cooper went 3-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored, four RBI and a home run. Rathbun went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored, four RBI and a homer. Godwin was the only other Warrior with multiple hits, posting a 2-for-3 effort to go along with a run scored, two RBI and two walks.
Gingell went 2-for-2 with a walk and run scored. Pokora was 1-for-3 with a run scored, an RBI and a home run.
In three tournament games, Eastern has outscored the opposition 32-2 and outhit them 34-12. In 16 tournament innings, Rathbun has struck out 32 and walked four and allowed 11 hits and one earned run (two total).Led by Godwin (.545), Cooper (.545), Rathbun (.500), Silva (.500), Brett (.444) and Alicea (.444), the Warriors are batting .430 as a team in the tournament and have commited only two errors.
Eastern has now won 11 straight LEC tournament games over three seasons.
Keene, ranked fourth in the NCAA New England region, has won four LEC tournament titles but has finished second in each of its last three championship game appearances between 2008 and 2010. Western won the last of its three titles in 2004 and last reached the championship round in 2007.

The scene in Book the Second, Chapter 7: Monseigneur in Town centers on a fancy reception with lots of French aristocrats in attendance. The upper-crust gathering is taking place at the Parisian suite of a French Lord, Monseigneur. One of the partygoers gets miffed by the lack of attention he's paid by the other guests and the host, so he leaves in a huff in his horse-drawn carriage.
Self-absorbed and arrogant, the Marquis St. Evrémonde lurches recklessly through the Paris streets. Along the way, the Marquis's carriage runs over and kills a child. Unmoved by the accident, the Marquis flippantly tosses a coin to the boy's grief-stricken father as he approaches the carriage. To a member of the wealthy ruling class, a coin would be more than payment enough for the death of a valueless peasant kid.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Kenwood Elementary was under a brief modified lockdown Wednesday afternoon as officials investigated a possible burglary.
Michele Nicholson, Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman, said the lockdown began around 12:30 p.m. when law enforcement was alerted to a possible burglary on Powell Drive near the school.
Units investigating the home did not find anything suspicious and the lockdown was lifted, Nicholson said.

Recently, we have had many inquiries about how to find support groups and local resources that are specific to special needs. One mother shared her heart's cry stating, "I need more than an expert to give me suggestions, I need friends with which to meet regularly." Are there others out there who have this same need? I'm sure there are.
While many families are already involved in a home school support group, our department often hears from parents who say that they don't feel like their family "fits in". They sense others within their support group may not understand or cannot relate to their unique challenges associated with home educating a child with special needs, particularly students with severe behavioral and learning needs, such as children on the Autism spectrum, Down Syndrome, or behavioral disorders. At other times, members report that their children are not included in the group, requests for accommodations are not met by co-op teachers, and a general lack of understanding or compassion seems to exist.
When I hear these things, it saddens me because I know that families are hurting and in need of support, community, encouragement, and a "safe place". I think for the most part, it is not that people intend to disenfranchise and treat those with learning differences, physical, behavioral, or mental challenges badly, but rather are acting out of fear, lack knowledge, insecurity, and are quite frankly unsure of how to help.
I would like to encourage folks who are involved in support groups and co-ops to follow Jesus' admonition to "let all the children come".
Let's get the conversation started:
What can we do to reach out and include those with disabilities? What are ways that you all out there are making an effort to include children with various exceptionalities in your groups? We would love to hear your comments and ideas.
Places to find support groups:
1. Look for on-line support groups, chat groups, bulletin board discussion groups, and blogs. While these definitely are not the same as having a support system in your own neighborhood, they can still be a good way to find ideas, exchange experiences, and to connect with others who are walking a similar path.
Here are a couple to check out:
Yahoo Groups
Special Needs Homeschooling on Facebook
2. One can also find private, learning consultants that offer support and resources for families. Many will offer consultations from a distance, via web-cam, phone, and email exchanges.
Here are a few, very well known private consultants who offer support and resources:
Sharon Hensley/Almaden Valley Christian School
Places to Find Support Groups:
- Respite Care—Nathaniel's Hope
- Check out local Churches—many have disabilities ministries
- National Challenged Homeschoolers Associated Network, NATHHAN/CHASK—
- Key Ministry an organization whose mission is to help churches serve families impacted by disability.
- HSLDA's Support Groups Lists
