MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguay's congress is considering a gay marriage law that would give same-sex couples all the same rights and responsibilities of heterosexual married couples.
The country already has a civil unions law and has stood out in Latin America lately for legalizing abortion and planning to sell government-grown marijuana to any citizen who wants it.
The proposed "marriage equality" law would change Uruguay's nearly-century-old civil code and give married gays and lesbians all the rights and responsibilities of heterosexual married couples, including the possibility of adopting children.
It was drafted by gay rights activists in the so-called "Black Sheep Collective" and now has the support of lawmakers in the ruling Broad Front coalition, which decided Wednesday to debate the measure next week in the House of Deputies' constitutional commission.
"Today's society is much broader than the heterosexual, and the civil code should reflect this: a marriage institution that applies equally to all," Federico Grana, a member of the collective, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "This goes well beyond homosexuality — it's a law that gives all the same rights and responsibilities."
Uruguay's Roman Catholic Church is opposed.
Bishop Jaime Fuentes, who presides over family issues for the church's governing episcopal conference, told the AP Wednesday that "marriage equality" is a discriminatory misnomer.
"It seems logical that two people of the same sex who care for each other and want to share their lives together can have some sort of civil acknowledgement, but it can't be the same as what governs marriage," Fuentes said. "Giving this kind of union the same obligations and rights as marriage would represent serious discrimination against a married man and woman."
The bishop argued that "children have a right to be raised by a father and mother, by birth or adoption."

UPDATED: Federal judge gives NH woman convicted of lying about role in genocide 10 years in prison
July 15. 2013 7:56PM
CONCORD — A Manchester woman convicted of lying about her actions during the 1994 Rwandan genocide to obtain U.S. citizenship was sentenced Monday to 10 years in federal prison — the maximum.
U.S. District Court Judge Steven J. McAuliffe also sentenced Beatrice Munyenyezi to three years of supervised release. Her U.S. citizenship was revoked after a federal jury convicted her in February.
Munyenyezi came to the United States as a refugee in 1998, moved to Manchester in 2002 and became a citizen in 2003.
McAuliffe said Munyenyezi, 43, was "not a mere spectator" at the genocide. Although she has led a very different life in the United States, he said, Munyenyezi "stole it from someone who was a victim." He said she is not being held accountable for genocide, but for lying about her participation in it to obtain refugee status and later citizenship.
The prosecutors said Munyenyezi ordered rapes and killings of minority Tutsis at a roadblock outside a hotel that her husband's family owned in the province of Butare.
Her husband and mother-in-law were convicted by a United Nations International Tribunal in Tanzania and are serving life sentences.
Her sister, Prudence Katengwa, who was brought to the U.S. by Munyenyezi, was convicted last year of lying in her immigration proceedings.
Munyenyezi's defense team had sought a sentence of no more than one year. But after the sentencing, attended by her twin teenage daughters, defense attorney David Ruoff said the 10-year sentence "has a silver lining."
He said it keeps her in America, which enables her to have access to her children, including an older daughter.
Although Munyenyezi appeared to be weeping at one point during the sentencing, she was able to manage a smile for her twin daughters before being led away.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Aloke Chakravarty, who argued for the maximum sentence, argued that Munyenyezi participated in the genocide, identifying people who "were killed because of her."
Chakravarty said she did not give due process to people during the genocide, but she has benefited from due process here.
He said the prosecution knew it was going to be a challenging case. But, he said, "Tolerating genocide is not an option."
Munyenyezi's daughters politely declined comment as they left the courthouse Monday, but her brother was eager to defend his sister and criticize both judge and prosecution.
Munyenyezi's brother, Jean-Marie Higiro, a communications professor at Western New England College in Springfield, Mass., said he is a Hutu who fled Rwanda.
He said he was assisted by the U.S. because he has a daughter who was born while he was a student here.
He said he was offended by the judge's comments, saying he had Hutu friends who fought the genocide and died as a result; he accused the judge of condemning all Hutus because of what happened.
Munyenyezi's first trial ended in a mistrial in 2012 after the jury deadlocked.
The case will be appealed to the First Circuit Court in Boston, Ruoff said.

Stroke is a brain injury caused by an interruption in blood flow. Brain tissue that does not get oxygen and nutrients from blood can die within minutes. The damage to the brain can cause a sudden loss in neurologic functions. The types of functions that are affected will depend on the part of the brain that is damaged.
Two blood flow problems that cause a stroke. Strokes may be hemorrhagic or ischemic.
A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by a ruptured blood vessel. It may be:
- Intracerebral hemorrhage—bleeding in the brain
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage —bleeding in the tissue around the brain
- An ischemic stroke is caused by a blocked blood vessel.
A hemorrhagic stroke can occur because of abnormal blood vessels in the brain. These vessels are weaker than normal vessels and break open under pressure. The blood leaks out of the broken blood vessel and into the brain. This can lead to brain damage because blood flow is interrupted and the pooled blood can cause pressure on the brain.
Blood vessels may be weakened by:
- Abnormality in blood vessel structure
- Arterio-venous (AV) malformation —an abnormal knot of blood vessels
- Aneurysm —a weakened spot in a blood vessel wall
- Other illness or medical conditions like hypertension
Blood vessels damage can also be caused by trauma like a blow to the head or a car accident.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of stroke include:
- Gender: Men are more likely to have a stroke than women
- Age: Risk of stroke increases with age particularly after 55 years of age.
- Family history of stroke
Factors that can weaken your blood vessels and increase your risk of hemorrhagic stroke include:
- Having a vessel abnormality
- High blood pressure
- Smoking
- Sleep apnea
- Cocaine use
- Alcohol use disorder
- Psychological disorders, such as depression or anxiety
Blood disorders or medications that reduce blood clotting can also increase your risk of a hemorrhagic stroke.
Rapid treatment is important to decrease the amount of brain damage. Brain tissue without blood flow dies quickly. Call for emergency medical services right away if you notice any of the following symptoms.
Symptoms will depend on the part of the brain affected. Call for emergency medical services right away for:
- Sudden weakness or numbness of face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion
- Sudden trouble speaking or understanding
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden lightheadedness, trouble walking, loss of balance, or coordination
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause
- Loss of consciousness
Other symptoms that may go along with the above symptoms include:
- Neck stiffness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Sensitivity to light
The doctor will look for muscle weakness, visual and speech problems, and movement difficulty. If possible, you will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A CT scan may be done to confirm the diagnosis.
Detailed images of blood vessels will help identify the cause of the bleeding. Images may be taken with one or more of the following tests:
Blood tests can also help identify clotting problems in the blood. Your doctor may also examine the fluid that surrounds your brain and spine.
Immediate treatment is needed to stop the bleeding and relieve pressure on the brain.
If you were taking medications that reduce your blood's ability to clot you will be given medication to help your blood clot again. This may also include vitamin K.
You may also be given medication to help:
- Decrease pressure in your brain
- Prevent seizures
- Lower blood pressure
Surgery may be done to help stop the bleeding. Some surgeries can be done by passing catheters from blood vessels in the groin to the affected vessels in the brain.
Options will depend on the cause and location of the bleeding:
- For a burst aneurysm—A clip may be placed just before the damaged vessel to stop bleeding.
- For a leaking or intact aneurysm—A special coil may be placed in the aneurysm. The coil will help a clot form in the aneurysm to prevent bleeding. A clip, as used in burst aneurysms, may be placed instead of a coil.
- For an abnormal tangle of blood vessels—Surgery may be done to repair the blood vessels. This may include removing the tangles or rerouting the blood around this tangle.
A stroke can cause swelling in the brain. A surgery, such as craniotomy, may be needed to relieve the pressure in the brain to prevent further damage.
If brain tissue was damaged, rehabilitation can be an important part of recovery. Rehabilitation may include:
- Physical therapy—to regain as much movement as possible
- Occupational therapy—to assist in everyday tasks and self-care
- Speech therapy—to improve swallowing and speech challenges
- Psychological therapy —to improve mood and decrease depression
Management and monitoring of medical conditions like aneurysms and high blood pressure can prevent complications like stroke.
Other habits that may reduce your risk of stroke include:
- Getting regular exercise.
- Eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Limiting dietary salt and fat.
- Quitting smoking.
- Drinking alcohol only in moderation (1-2 drinks per day).
- Maintaining a healthy weight.
- Check blood pressure frequently. Follow your doctor's recommendations for keeping it in a safe range.
- Stop the use of recreational drugs (such as cocaine).

Guy came in to remove a phone line from the neighboring cubicle. He called in, since the cube is occupied, but the name on the outside didn't match up with the 'removal' paperwork.
"Hey, Janice, what name comes up with this line?"
"I can't pronounce it--do you want me to spell it?"
We need to hurry up and end this thing so we can strip.
I haven't been this excited to get out of my clothes since I was 16!
"What's that hanging off your chin?"
Let me get it up! LET ME GET IT UP!
(I was good I didn't laugh... really)
"I can't find a place where I can grab it..."
"Look at my crack! Look at my crack!"
"I don't like how it smells."
"I always have a box of tissues near me."
"If I gave you this, would you know what to do with it?"
"I just saw when he pulled it out, that it was small, compact, and nice."
"He said, 'sorry for interrupting,' but I was talking to myself!"
woman: "Are you wearing slippers?"
man: "Yep!"
"The size and shape really affect the flavor. I don't know if you knew that..."
J: Kenny, you'd miss your family if you were away on travel for five weeks, right?
me: (long pause) O_o
J: Of COURSE Kenny would miss his family!
me: Well, sure. Everything in moderation, I guess.

Everything is falling into place for the Post 3 Eastern U.P. Travelers.
SAULT STE. MARIE — Everything is falling into place for the Post 3 Eastern U.P. Travelers.
The Travelers continued their torrid pace during July, winning the 7-team Lynn Auto Parts Invitational American Legion baseball tournament over the weekend.
Capping a 6-0 tournament run, the Travelers beat the Soo Black Sox 4-3 in the championship game Sunday at James Field.
The Travelers (18-8) extended their overall win streak to seven games and have won 14 of their last 15 going back to June 27. It was the first time the Travelers won their own Lynn Auto Parts tourney.
"Everything for us goes back to the second game of a doubleheader against Petoskey a couple weeks ago," EUP coach Billy Mitchell said. "We were down 3-1 but came back to score three runs in the bottom of the seventh and won 4-3. Ever since then, we can do no wrong. Every hit is falling in, and we're getting good pitching and making defensive plays. This is the best sustained run of games I've been a part of as a coach."
Louie Krupa led the hot-hitting Travelers with a home run, triple and double in the title game, and he also scored three runs. Dakota Zuhlke added two hits and an RBI, while Michael James and Brady VanSloten also had doubles among the EUPs eight hits.
"Louie is hitting the ball big time right now," Mitchell said. "If you look back at what he did in high school, he's been a guy who can help take a team to another level. He did it with the basketball team, helping them make the regional final."
Jake Harrison started on the mound in the Lynn Auto Parts final and limited the Sox to three runs on six hits over 5 2-3 innings. Tyler Kirkland came on to close. He recorded a strikeout on three pitches to end the sixth inning and allowed two base runners in the seventh before finishing with the save.
"I thought Jake pitched a gem in the championship," Mitchell said. "He did a great job, and all of his big-game experience is paying off. Kirkland shut the door on them. I had to use Kirkland at the end. You can't go to a horse race and leave your best horse in the stable."
The Soo Black Sox finished 4-2 at the tournament.
"We played six games in four days," Black Sox manager Mike Lebel said. "We hung in right to the end today, and the Travelers had to bring in their ace to finish it. Our kids battled and didn't quit and I was very proud of the effort.
"Congratulations to the Travelers," Lebel said. "They have a nice roster this year, the best in the U.P. I think."
The Travelers finished 4-0 to reach the semifinals. On Saturday, the Travelers beat Sudbury 12-0 and clipped Harbor Springs 13-2.
In a semifinal Sunday morning, the Travelers beat the Escanaba Cubs 10-1 in six innings. The Travelers erupted for six runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to break open a 1-1 tie against the Cubs.
Kolbe Peller hit three doubles and drove in four runs to lead the EUPs 10-hit effort against Esky. James had two hits and Andy Krupa added a double.
EUP pitcher Andy Krupa limited the Cubs to just four hits, and he struck out five.
The Travelers banged out 13 hits in a 13-2 rout over Harbor Springs Saturday night. Brady VanSloten had three hits and four RBIs, while Peller tagged two triples and drove in two runs. Frank Bailey and Kirkland had two hits each and Devon Dear also hit a triple.
Bailey and VanSloten combined on pitching duties. Bailey started on the mound and picked up the win, allowing one run on one hit, while striking out four over three innings. VanSloten pitched two innings and gave up one run on three hits, striking out five.
Against Sudbury, Zuhlke pitched a one-hitter for the EUP, striking out five and walking none. Peller led the offense with two hits, including a triple, and two RBIs. Bailey and Kirkland also hit triples.
The Travelers beat the Escanaba Cubs 8-2 Friday and downed the Soo Black Sox 12-3 Thursday.
"We're playing with a lot of confidence," Mitchell said. "We go into every game feeling like we will win. Our veterans — like Louie Krupa, Tyler Kirkland and Devon Dear — those guys are stepping up and being leaders. The guys have learned how to have fun, and play hard at the same time."
The Escanaba Cubs finished 2-3 over the weekend.
"We had an opportunity to come to this tournament and play five games over the weekend, so that was a good thing," Cubs manager Tom Ohman said. "We didn't field well at times. Today (Sunday), we even booted a pop up in the infield, and everything went downhill from there.
"We're just about done with our schedule now except for a couple games against our local men's team, so were looking for some momentum like everybody else," Ohman said. "We don't have a deep pitching staff, but our hitting is getting better. If we can score some runs and play defense, we're fine. I guess that's baseball."
The U.P. American Legion zone baseball tournament is less than two weeks away, with the EUP scheduled to face Gladstone at Menominee on July 24.
"We need to keep this rolling," Mitchell said. "We want to be peaking at the right time, and make a run at zones."
The Travelers visit Alpena Tuesday for a doubleheader.

The Stillman College baseball team is off to a 5-5 start to the 2013 season after its 5-3 victory over Shorter College on Wednesday.
TUSCALOOSA | The Stillman College baseball team is off to a 5-5 start to the 2013 season after its 5-3 victory over Shorter College on Wednesday.
Shortstop Kameron McCreless went 3-for-4 and scored a run in the Tigers' victory.
After finishing 2012 with a 32-18 record, including 21-0 in conference play, the Tigers have struggled in 2013. The defending Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champions opened with a three-game sweep against Loyola-New Orleans. The Tigers defeated the Wolfpack by scores of 6-0, 6-4 and 9-8.
That weekend, Trent Posey went 4-for-7 with three runs scored, while Dustin Dun scored four runs. McCreless, Ken Perkey and Fernando Tanaka each had four runs batted in against the Wolfpack.
On the mound, Dawson Tuberville had 12 strikeouts, while Tyler Vails had four, with both earning wins.
Since opening weekend, the Tigers have stumbled. After its run in 2012, Stillman has had to replace a lot of talent.
The Tigers had to replace seniors Jarius Brown and Dion Bryant. Brown was the 2012 SIAC Player of the Year and made the American Baseball Coaches Associaition All-South Region first team while also receiving honorable mention on the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association all-region team. Brown ranked second in the SIAC with 78 hits, 62 runs batted in, 57 runs scored and seven home runs. He ranked third in the conference with a .404 batting average, seventh with a .570 slugging percentage and fifth with a .489 on-base percentage.
Bryant also made the ABCA first team with a .357 batting average and a .432 slugging percentage. Bryant led the SIAC with 61 runs and ranked third with 76 hits, including one home run and 38 runs batted in. The 6-foot outfielder also ranked third with 36 stolen bases.
But there have been some bright spots for the Tigers. Outfielder Perkey was the SIAC baseball West Division Player of the Week and Vails was the SIAC West Division Pitcher of the Week last week.
Perkey was honored after posting a .313 batting average and .438 slugging percentage. He scored two runs and had four RBIs. Vails went 1-1 and pitched a complete game in 13 innings. Vails struck out 14 and walked two in his two starts.
McCreless is this week's West Player of the Week after going 5-for-10 with four runs and an RBI last week.

Dueber's moved into the old Ben Franklin store on 1st Ave. South St. James in 1992. The chain of Dueber's stores has been in business since 1946.
Last Friday, Dueber's announced on it's facebook page it was going out of business, "It is with a sad heart today that I tell those of you that don't already know that starting tomorrow Dueber's begins their going out of business sale.
"All Dueber's stores are closing. Thank you to those that regularly shopped there. I wished this day would never come."
Dueber's moved into the old Ben Franklin store on 1st Ave. South St. James in 1992. The chain of Dueber's stores has been in business since 1946.
The department store chain based in Norwood Young America currently has nine stores. At one time the chain had 28 stores, but has been at nine for many years.
CEO and President, Chuck Dueber said, "We do appreciate the many customers that supported our retail store over many years.
Dueber said, "The decision to close was probably made years ago, contingent on selling either the Waconia Store building or Young America Office Warehouse."
On his future plan Dueber said, "I would consider working part time – or even full time for a couple of years if the right opportunity becomes available. But retirement as an option sounds agreeable.
"We also thank our local Store Managers, Pam Nelson from Madelia, and Doreen Weckwerth of St James, both have been with Dueber's for many years. It's all about having the right people, customers and staff.
"Dueber's were ideal type of stores for communities such as St James for many years, but the retail world changes like everything else."
Dueber said that the chain closing was partly because, "Current times are challenging for the independent retailer. "Retail has been overdone, especially with the expansion of "big box" retailers now coming into small outstate communities, in addition to internet retail options. "The choices are never ending. You can only 'split the pie into so many pieces'.
Dueber continued by commenting on the changing nature of business in small towns, "Smaller communities in Minnesota and throughout our country are ideal places to live and raise a family. People within these communities have to decide whether their town is worth supporting. Not only does it take a village to raise a child, but is also takes a village to sustain local businesses."
St. James manager Weckwerth said, "The town (St. James) has supported us well." She emphasized that it wasn't because of economic issues that the St. James store was closing.
Weckwerth did not know how long the going out of business sale would run, but she thought it would continue until most of the merchandise was sold. The St. James store has two employees.
Dueber said the going out of business would continue, "As long as we have merchandise to sell."

Oh Baby: Aggie's Big Entrance
Labor on the other hand wasn't so much of a joy but I'll spare you the gory details and just say that our we welcomed a healthy, beautiful girl the next morning. Photos weren't our top priority but we got a few shots to tell the story. If I ever have free time again, I'm hoping I can put together a photo book for 2012 that recaps the whole journey of the pregnancy and her arrival in right before the year was over.
We rang in the New Year from our hospital bed - definitely a New Years Eve I will never forget.

I follow you on Facebook to0 so I know about Agatha's grand entrance :) I had a great pregnancy too. I was mowing my lawn in my 9th month. I couldn't wait to do it again even after a less than magical delivery ;) fast forward 16 years later (as my uterus had different ideas) to my 7 and 10 yr olds that came to us from overseas. Still magical!!!!! Again, congrats and looking forward to more posts about your lovely daughter.ReplyDelete

Congrats! I have to admit, I haven't been able to follow you as religiously as I did, but I had a newborn too! Same as you, on my due date, I felt I could carry for a couple more weeks if need be and then started having contracts on my due date. Too strange. My baby boy was 7 lb 12 oz, so not too far off. I bet it was strange to be in the hospital on New Year's Eve!ReplyDelete
Too cute. Great job Mama!ReplyDelete

If you thought you heard gunfire in Devils Lake on Friday evening - you did.
If you thought you heard gunfire in Devils Lake on Friday evening - you did.
It was members of the AMVETS and they conducted a 21 gun salute at the corner of Fourth Street and Sixth Avenue during the opening ceremonies of their convention held this weekend in Devils Lake.
Representatives from throughout the state attended the events which ended with the awards banquet Saturday night in the KC Hall.
The event was emceed by Devils Lake Fire Chief Jim Moe who informed the crowd that Devils Lake was in the process of establishing its own AMVETS post, although it was not yet established.
Devils Lake Mayor Dick Johnson welcomed the vets and talked about his enthusiasm for the new vets clinic which will be established in Devils Lake before the year is out.
A number of awards were presented during the ceremonies including one for Jerry Fjeld who was instrumental in planning the weekend's festivities.

The third Wednesday evening of each month at the Hockessin Library is especially for women.
The "Chick Lit Book Group" meets at 7 p.m. to talk about books that focus on females. The group, which started almost a year and a half ago, is now comprised of six members, but has room for more.
Led by Terri Jones, the Youth Service Librarian, the women discussed Lisa Scottoline's "Come Home" on Wednesday evening.
Jones likes to keep the book list light and breezy and she moderated the discussion with questions from the author's reading guide. As members reflected on the book, they shared personal stories, not only to relate to the book but to each other. The book group quickly became a homey, safe, and fun environment.
Kelsey Guinnup and Anita Gorton have been attending the book group since last January. Gorton found out about the group through a bulletin board at the Hockessin Library while Guinnup found it online.
"It's a breath of fresh air for me," said Gorton, a stay-at-home mom. "It's nice to have something in common with people other than kids."
Both Guinnup and Gorton recommend joining the book group, and they find the intimate setting appealing.
The featured book in June will be "Sarah's Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay.

If moral victories exist, chalk one up for Cedar Key in spite of a 65-46 home loss against Chiefland on Tuesday.
After an 0-9 start and a winless 2009-10 campaign, the young Sharks could have easily swam far away from the shores of Cedar Key, and into the secluded deep of the Gulf. But thanks to a loyal fanbase and the never-give-up hustle of its players, 1A Cedar Key was able to give the 2A Indians more than it bargained before while achieving a team goal in the process.
"We're keeping the postive juices flowing," said Cedar Key coach Cris Beckham. "The highest point total we've had up to now was 39, so one of our goals was to break 40 and we did it. We played really well against a good team."
Cedar Key was led by Josh Sills season-high 28-point performance. He was forced to shoulder the load after Zach Anderson — one of the team's two seniors — suffered an early ankle injury. The duo have combined for most of the team's points this season, but with Zach Anderson icing on the bench, Bobby Trammell poured in nine points and Tyler Anderson had eight.
Sills was the trigger man all game for Cedar Key and helped the Sharks race out to a 6-0 lead before seeing Chiefland take over in the second quarter thanks to its scrambling full-court press.
"Cedar Key played well," said Chiefland coach Adam Boyd. "They weren't going to back down and (Sills) played very well for them."
Sills' deep three-pointer from the right wing cut Chiefland's lead to 38-30 with 3:34 remaining in the third quarter. That was as close as the Sharks would get until a bucket by Sills at the 3:13 mark of the fourth quarter made it 55-46. However, the Indians would use offensive rebounds and turnovers to score the final 10 points of the game, including six by Bo Beauchamp, to put the game away.
Beckham said keeping spirits high despite the losses has- n't been an issue. "They have great attitudes even though we're not winning," Beckham said. "They keep listening and working hard and that's why they're getting better."

Student Art Exhibit: Monroe Isenberg
Date: November 16, 2011 Location: Watzek Library Reading Room
Watzek Library Reading Room
Check out this totemic sculpture by Monroe Isenberg (LC, 2013), which will be on display until December 1 in Watzek's Reading Room.
In Isenberg's own words, "The two totems began as an examination of the interplay between materials: wood and metal. As the individual pieces progressed, they took on the meanings of the words health and pain demonstrated through their basic elements and principles. The slimmer of the two flows like a canyon or river, which I believe to be representations of health. The other takes on a strongly geometric sharp shape in its fundamental line representing pain."

Sparkly & Red: Buon Natale Party
We started by putting up last years decorations. The tree, the bows, the glittered snowflakes, etc.
But it needed more so on Friday, we took a predawn trip to the flower district. Not sure what I wanted, I found the whole experience of pretending to be a pro a bit intimidating. In any event we brought home a a case of carnations and some silver twigs.
Using wire I strung up some carnation heads on the branches for some drama on the buffet.
Then for added pops of red, I filled tomoto cans with carnations and put those on display.
Using the rest of the carnations, I filled a load of Ikea vases. Some got some some silver twigs, some got some glittered snowflakes and others just stood alone.
And of course there was food, food, food. We tried to keep it mostly Italian - always a crowd pleaser. Pasta and meatballs in silver chafing dishes, italian cheeses, cured meats, olives, etc..
Let's not forget the spirits. Aside from the Italian varieties, we cheated with Australian wine and Russian vodka :)
We served eggnog but it wasn't that popular. I'll have to remember that next time round and make a lighter signature cocktail next time.
Once the guests arrived, I put down my camera and took part in the festivities. Mother Nature even gave NYC the first snow of the season to keep the theme going!

Looks absolutely perfect and grand! great job!ReplyDelete
Looks lovely as usual. Something about eggnog just rubs me the wrong way. :)ReplyDelete
Seriously, if this is what you can put together on short notice, I can only imagine what you could do with more time! It looks fantastically sophisticated, and I love the cute and inexpensive touch of the carnations in the tomato cans.ReplyDelete
This is a great example of the notion that beautiful design doesn't need to cost a fortune. I love the simplicity of the decorations.ReplyDelete
WOW!!! your last minute decorations really paid off!ReplyDelete
Simply beautiful~again<3ReplyDelete
Egg Nog definitely came from a carton - I just poured it into pretty pitchers. I don't drink the stuff myself - tastes like an omlet mix to me :)ReplyDelete
Absolutely gorgeous decorations and the food looks fantastic. I really love the idea of the silver branches and the red carnations. Simple and stunning!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, it would take me a month to come up with those ideas! Amazing!! Those carnations are beautiful. Heck, it's ALL beautiful!ReplyDelete
Love the red...I was beginning to think that I was the only one who liked it anymore...gorgeous.ReplyDelete

Absolute perfection--you really outdid yourself! The red and silver look so fresh and festive :)ReplyDelete
(And I know what you mean about the flower district--it can be so overwhelming! I usually just end up leaving empty handed and picking up some cheap mums at the corner store ;)
Simply AWESOME! I am loving the pops of red! Really beautiful.ReplyDelete
Buona Festa , Buon Natale e Buon Capodanno !ReplyDelete
What an awesome photo shoot in such a lovely setting!
I'm a little behind on posts...what a beautiful job you did! All this was on the fly? Amazing!ReplyDelete

WOW....I mean really, you're putting the sad wreath on my front door to shame. I LOVE those pops of red and silver. The decor is festive without being garish. And I LOVE Eggnog, esp. spiked eggnog, so if I'm at any of yoru Christmas parties in the near future (hint, hint) please have a little bit left for me:)ReplyDelete
Your party was lovely!ReplyDelete

10 Reasons to Attend Saturday's Spring Game
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
It's Thursday, March 28, 10 days before the first Nebraska Football Spring Game that will be televised nationally … do you have your tickets yet? I'm serious. According to weather.com, the 10-day forecast sees the temperature reaching 62 degrees on Saturday, April 6, a day forecasted to be mostly cloudy with 0 percent chance of rain and winds out of the east southeast up to 14 miles per hour. I mean, what is everyone waiting for? Buy and print your Spring Game tickets right here and right now, so Nebraska can show the Big Ten Network and the rest of the country that there's no spring football like Nebraska spring football.
Everything about it is appealing. Everything the traffic will allow. Nowhere could you have that happy feeling until every single Husker takes a bow. Sorry, Husker fans. I'm not going to knock 38,000 tickets already sold and distributed. I'm just asking the rest of you to DVR the 2 p.m. Spring Game and hightail it to Memorial Stadium, so you can show the world who has been responsible for filling the place up for the last 50 years. Fans can take their own bows when they show their appreciation 4½ months before the Huskers launch a realistic bid to win the 2013 Big Ten Championship, and, perhaps, even make a run at the National Championship. Here then, 10 days before Nebraska's 2 p.m. spring kickoff that costs only $10 to see, are 10 semi-persuasive reasons to make a mass fast break to Memorial Stadium, wear red, be proud and be entertained:
Reason No. 1: College Football Hall-of-Famer Will Shields and Damon Benning, the MVP of Nebraska's three-touchdown win over Virginia Tech in the1996 Orange Bowl, both would prefer that you tape the game at home. That way, you can watch it live inside the stadium and then later judge how well Will handled BTN's sideline reporter duties and what kind of grade you'd give Damon as BTN's analyst.
Reason No. 2: With Rex Burkhead returning to Memorial Stadium on a projected beautiful Spring Game Saturday, when else is anyone going to get the chance to see 'ol No. 22 up close and personal? I mean, only Super Man – college football's Heisman of Character winner – can play 20 years in the NFL, and this might be your last chance with Rex until 2033. Just kidding, but the more I think about it, maybe I'm not kidding. Maybe I'm promoting history, so please thank five 2012 seniors who will sign autographs at the First National Bank of Omaha Autograph Zone in the Husker Nation Pavilion from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Will Compton, Ben Cotton, Brett Maher and Kyler Reed will join Burkhead for that session.
Reason No. 3: Even though there's been a moratorium on communicating this very important fact, does anyone remember an N-Sider last fall that introduced the concept of Time Capsules when we asked why look back? Let's plan the next 50 years of consecutive sellouts at Memorial Stadium. Well, Nebraska fans still have one final chance to fill 200 scarlet-and-cream time capsules with meaningful memories, mementos and memorabilia that describe and define our half-century journey. The Spring Game will be your last chance to commemorate history and 325 straight sellouts with contributions that will be buried near the East Stadium still under construction (more information coming later).
Reason No. 4: Speaking of the East Stadium, we have a good reason for you to arrive early at the Spring Game, marvel at the new structure that has doubled its height and is almost all grown up to house two large research areas and boost Nebraska's capacity to nearly 92,000 fans. What you will be looking at is more than just a football stadium. It will be the first on-campus, shared academic/athletic research facility in the history of intercollegiate athletics. Gaze across the sweeping sky, and you will understand why visiting teams will be facing a more intimidating competitive environment. The roar coming from the 15 rows of seats on top of the new sky boxes should reverberate.
Reason No. 5: Let's not forget the tradition of watching thousands of boys and girls filling nearly every square inch of Tom Osborne Field and taking the drug-free pledge. That's a big deal, but not an excuse to wait before securing the free tickets that come with that pledge. Use the links at the top of this column. Every kid in the stadium a week from Saturday must have a ticket to get in. "The key is to beat the rush and make it easy, so we advise everyone to purchase tickets as soon as possible," said Holly Adam, Nebraska's assistant athletic director for Tickets. "We always encourage fans to get tickets in their hands in advance of game day." In other words, buying tickets at the last minute and choosing Will Call could make the wait just as long as buying tickets on the day of the game. Buying now or early in the week minimizes the hassle and maximizes the game day experience.
Reason No. 6: Who knows? As you walk around the stadium a few hours before Nebraska's first Spring Game in two years (remember last year's rainout?), maybe you'll bump into one of the more than 200 ex-Huskers who will attend another tribute to Tom Osborne on the Friday night before the Spring Game. Hopefully, you'll still be able to recognize the likes of Terry Connealy, Russell Gary, Guy Ingles, Jeff Kinney, Joel Makovicka, Marc Munford, Clete and Jim Pillen, Tom Ruud, Ricky Simmons, Rob Stuckey or Steve Taylor. They will all huddle up with T.O. and his assistant coaches one more time, but they're keeping it private and all in the family.
Reason No. 7: An annual Spring Game highlight is one of Coach Osborne's personal favorite recognition ceremonies – the introduction of the Brook Berringer Citizenship Team that honors the late Nebraska quarterback that died in a plane crash in April, 1996. The team honors Husker players who consistently go above and beyond to provide excellent leadership to their teammates and become involved in service to the community. Jan Berringer, Brook's mom, helps honor the Citizenship Team on the field. Nebraska Media Relations will release the names of the new class of honorees the night before the Spring Game.
Reason No. 8: Our last three reasons relate to the players, who are, after all, the linchpin lure for Husker fans taking the time out of what should be a beautiful weekend. Offensively, there's been lots of talk about young players who have had good springs and could push for playingtime in the fall – wide receivers Sam Burtch, Alonzo Moore, Brandon Reilly and Jordan Westerkamp, plus several young tight ends. Don't forget Imani Cross, a known commodity at running back. He's slimmed down and showing he can be an every-down back. King Frazier, a redshirt freshman running back, has turned some heads, too. There are several young offensive linemen that will help build depth on a veteran team with five returning seniors. One young offensive lineman earning the respect of the upperclassmen is Zach Sterup, a 6-foot-8, 315-pound sophomore from Hastings St. Cecilia.
Reason No. 9: Isn't it a Spring Game ritual to focus in on whatever quarterback would take the field when the starter might go down? With Taylor Martinez healthy, happy and hungry for his fourth straight years as Nebraska's starting quarterback, all eyes will be eager to see how Ron Kellogg III and Tommy Armstrong play in early April. A season ticketholder called to ask why Armstrong wasn't getting any pub and if he was hurt. The good news is he is not hurt and we will all get a good look at Armstrong on April 6, so buy that ticket if you haven't already.
Reason No. 10: Don't we always save the best for last? Who doesn't want to see what kind of defense Pelini & Co. parade onto the field? Last year's defense had some decidedly great moments, and spring is the sign of eternal hope. Nebraska fans will see new faces everywhere on defense, especially in the defensive line, at linebacker and safety. By all accounts, the 2013 defense is a talented group with considerable athleticism. The spring has been about teaching and figuring out the pieces of who fits where. Special teams pose the same question as two years ago. How do you replace an outstanding kicker who handled kicking, punting and kickoffs? Can Mauro Bondi follow in the footsteps of Alex Henery and Maher? Buy your tickets, print them and walk inside the stadium for your own sneak peek. It will bring you closer to a team that just might have the talent to beat every team it plays. Happy Spring Game and Go Big Red!

HDTV: Are You Ready?
David Beamish provides a handy guide to help you choose the right HD screen
Anyway, enough of that blithering. High Definition is something which is going to affect us all and it seems to have been presented to the consumer so poorly that many do not know how to tell if a TV is actually High Definition or just compatible with a High Definition input. Therefore I will go over the simple checklist shortly and explain roughly what it all means and what you should look for in a new screen. Whilst pertinent to most markets, this is going to be based on the HD Ready spec developed by EICTA in Europe. The spec defines that there is more to a TV being HD Ready than just having a certain resolution. Even if not in Europe, you might want to consider these specs when looking for a new screen.
A Brief History of Time
Non-High Definition televisions are now called standard, or even low definition. This is said to reflect the resolution of the screen. Up until recently resolution was something best left for computer screens, but now it is something more of us will have to come to terms with. Basically it is a measurement of the amount of pixels on the screen usually defined as widthx height. If you'd like more info on that, check out Wikipedia. Since all high definition screens have a wide aspect ratio, I will only compare them to the standard definition widescreen sets—assuming older 4:3 sets are now obsolete. If you would like more information on aspect ratios, or are unfamiliar with the jargon, please read both of our short articles on the subject (part one here, part two here) before continuing.
Standard definition resolutions differ between countries, formats and aspect ratios, and whilst that sounds a lot it is fairly simple to follow. These are defined by the number of horizontal lines that run across the screen which is also how High Definition is measured. Whilst you might not have heard standard television resolutions described this way, it is useful to know about as a comparison tool.
As well as resolution, an image on screen is defined by how it is presented. There are two options here: Interlaced or Progressively Encoded/Scanned. An interlaced image updates alternative lines on the display every cycle—fast enough for many to not notice—and progressive scan images update every line with every refresh cycle. This gives a more solid image with less flicker, however it is twice the information to carry.
|Number of horizontal lines
|Standard Television (NTSC: USA, Japan)
|Standard Television (PAL: Europe)
|Standard DVD (NTSC: USA, Japan)
|Standard DVD (PAL: Europe)
Standard television broadcasts utilise an interlaced image. However, certain games consoles and DVD players (amongst other devices) support a progressive output. Therefore, as well as 480i and 576i, we also have 480p and 576p. Since this is a step up from standard definition, this has been termed Enhanced Definition but people seem to rarely use this description, more often than not, defining it by its content (480i, 480p etc.). Maybe it is this that will be how HD is referred to in the future—everything will be HD but the resolution will get larger.
"Dwell in the past and there will be no future"
High Definition sets have several easy to understand requirements that, for some reason, many people just do not know about. Perhaps it is to do with the current lack of HD source devices, which has meant, aside from the screens, there is nothing for the public to conceptually grasp as HD. Once HD broadcasting comes truly of age the knowledge will be more widespread, but that is going to be a bitter pill to swallow for those who have purchased 'flat screen' televisions only to find they are not going to be compatible with the new broadcasting systems. Incidentally, does anyone know why they are called 'flat screen' TVs? My old Sony CRT had a flat screen—thin screen makes more sense in defining these new toys. I digress.
The minimum number of horizontal lines that a screen must have to be classed as HD is 720, and these should be able to display a progressive format video. Therefore we can term this 720p—all HD Ready screens must have 720 horizontal lines. This is generally coupled with a width of 1280 pixels however this is not always the case. Check out the caveats section below. Since humans view in a widescreen aspect ratio (there is a debate about the actual aspect ratio, but it seems to be around 1.78:1 or 1.85:1—something close to 16x9 anyway), televisions have been moving into a wide format for several years now. The introduction of DVDs and widescreen broadcasting has helped push this concept forward and from this we realise our second HD Ready requirement—the screen must be in a wide aspect ratio.
The HD Ready specification also includes requirements for the inputs of the screen. Most of these televisions will come with such inputs as Composite, S-Video, SCART (if you live in Europe!) and even VGA for connection to a PC, but these are all additional to that defined in the specification. An HD Ready screen must have two very specific inputs and these are:
- Component: Analogue YPbPr input
- DVI or HDMI: Digital input
Not to be confused with a single composite input, a component input features three RCA type connectors and does support high definition. However, the yellow composite input is normally accompanied with a red and a white audio lead. A component lead carries video only. If the set has a DVI input then it must also support HDCP which is a form of copy protection. HDMI sockets support HDCP by default.
Finally, a small techy bit—the digital inputs have to support the following:
- 1280x720 @ 50 and 60Hz progressive scan ('720p')
- 1920x1080 @ 50 and 60Hz interlaced ('1080i')
Nb: that is not to say the component input does not need to support these. It is just assumed it does since it is required to support HD signals as industry standard. Here is the accompanying quote from the specification for that part:
HD ready displays support analogue YPbPr as a HD input format to allow full compatibility with today's HD video sources in the market.
Also, this does not mean it has to have 1080 horizontal lines—it just means it has to accept the input and then scale it to the panel's native resolution. It is generally better to use an input signal as close to the panels native display as possible to prevent the need for any scaling.
The final requirements of an HD Ready screen
So there we have our HD Ready list of requirements:
- Have a minimum of 720 horizontal lines
- Be widescreen
- Have a component analogue input
- Have a DVI with HDCP or an HDMI digital input
- Support via the digital input 1280x720 @50 and 60Hz progressive scan ('720p')
- Support via the digital input 1920x1080 @50 and 60Hz interlaced ('1080i')
"Yes sir this is HD Ready screen I do you good deal"—caveats
Unfortunately we consumers need to have our wits about us when purchasing a new screen in Europe at least since as I just mentioned, signals can be scaled. This means it could be possible to have a screen with less than 720 horizontal lines claiming to be ready for high definition material because it can accept the input and scale it down to the screens native resolution. Therefore, whilst the screen can accept the signal, the viewer will not get the full benefit from it since it has been squashed down to fit into the smaller screen resolution.
I would also be wary of certain plasma screens. I saw one recently which had 768 horizontal lines—should be enough to display a full HD signal right? Not quite! You see it only had 1024 vertical lines instead of 1280 which would be needed to display a full 1280x720 resolution image. That also makes it sound like it is a square screen but plasmas (I heard on a forum where we were arguing on this screens legality in using the HD Ready logo) can have rectangular pixels so it did look like a widescreen set. This is just something for you to be wary of. I didn't spend too much time on it since I don't own a plasma screen and don't intend to buy, one but if you do, make sure you check the entire resolution. Perhaps the spec should have been a little more explicit to cover off occurrences such as this.
One spec to rule them all!
Just when we thought we knew what was going on, those clever people at EICTA, obviously bored and needed to justify their jobs, have created another spec, which was released in March. This specification is called HDTV and you can get info on it at the EICTA website.
This defines access to the above HDTV logo and was made to identify devices that "are capable of receiving and processing High Definition television signals broadcast over terrestrial, cable and satellite or pre-recorded" .
This makes reference to devices which can themselves receive and generate an HD signal, for instance a TV with an integrated HD tuner/receiver, or an HD set top box. It states that the HD Ready specification should be inherently implied by the use of the HDTV logo and so all HDTV logo equipped screens will follow the above guidelines from the HD Ready specification.
So there you have it. I hope that has helped to clear things up a little and that you can use this page as a reference for your HD queries.

Florida plays at Georgia on Wednesday night, two weeks after beating the Bulldogs at home by 33 points.
Florida has overcome injuries and a grueling road stretch across time zones to get off to an undefeated start in Southeastern Conference play.
Now, the No. 8 Gators will face another test — overconfidence. Florida plays at Georgia on Wednesday night, two weeks after beating the Bulldogs at home by 33 points.
Overall, Florida has won six in a row and its first four SEC games by an average margin of 26.8 points. Florida's 4-0 start in SEC play is its best since winning its first 11 league games during the second of its back-to-back national title seasons in 2007.
So it would be easy for Florida players to assume an easy ride in the downtrodden SEC. But facing the first of two road games this week, Florida coach Billy Donovan is preaching focus and consistency.
"It all comes down to our ability and our mentality to get better," Donovan said. "Looking at the Missouri game and Texas A&M and last time we played Georgia, there's still areas we can get better in. There's still areas we can improve."
Donovan also doesn't have to remind his returning players that last season's Elite Eight squad lost 76-62 at Stegeman Coliseum after beating Georgia by 22 points at home.
"That's a big thing: remembering what happened last year," Florida senior forward Erik Murphy said. "I think that will help us keep our focus at practice the next couple days. Similar situation to last year. We beat them at home, and they got us there. We're trying to prepare and not let it happen again."
Murphy went 0-for-5 from 3-point range in last year's loss at Georgia, and as a team, Florida went 5-for-23. But this season's Gator team is more equipped to handle a bad shooting night because of their ability to play defense. Florida hasn't allowed an SEC team to score more than 52 points so far this season.
"The one main aspect of this journey right now, is not get too big-headed and accept what is going on," Florida senior guard Mike Rosario said. "I tell my teammates every day we aren't satisfied. We haven't scratched the surface yet. I always want to tell them that. You want to improve and get after it every day."
Donovan said he feels the Gators have done a good job moving from one challenge to the next this season without embracing success.
"The human nature in all of us is to want to relax," Donovan said. "We don't want to be stressed or uncomfortable or put under duress. We want everything to be nice and easy, that's just normal human nature.
"I think my job as a coach is to try to take these guys out of their comfort zone physically and mentally to get them to strive and achieve the things that every college basketball player and team wants to achieve — and that's the opportunity to compete for a championship. But in order to do that, you've got to be able to mentally and physically be able to take yourself out of your comfort zone. If you want to be comfortable, you're never ever going to reach your true potential."
In Wednesday night's matchup, Donovan is concerned about the return of starting Georgia forward Donte' Williams and reserve guard Kenny Gaines. Both sat out Florida's 77-44 win over Georgia two weeks ago due to violation of team rules. Georgia is coming into the game with some confidence after a 67-58 home win over LSU on Saturday.
And don't discount the Florida-Georgia rivalry, which is heated in all sports from football to basketball to Tiddlywinks.
"The first time we played them, they had two players out," Donovan said. "The starting center, Donte' Williams, did not play. I definitely think going on the road will be challenging, just as it was against LSU or Texas A&M."
G Kenny Boynton 6-2 Sr. 13.3 ppg, 3.7 rpg
G Mike Rosario 6-3 Sr. 12.5 ppg, 2.3 apg
G Scottie Wilbekin 6-2 Jr. 8.3 ppg, 4.9 apg
F Erik Murphy 6-10 Sr. 12.5 ppg, 4.7 rpg
C Patric Young 6-9 Jr. 11.4 ppg, 6.5 rpg
G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 6-5 So. 17.1 ppg, 6.2 rpg
G Charles Mann 5-11 Fr. 5.7 ppg, 2.8 rpg
F Brandon Morris 6-7 Fr. 4.0 ppg, 1.9 rpg
F Donte' Williams 6-9 Jr. 2.9 ppg, 3.3 rpg
C John Florveus 6-9 Sr. 10.4 ppg, 8.6 rpg
Notes: Florida is playing its second game against Georgia in two weeks. The Gators beat the Bulldogs 77-44 in their SEC opener Jan. 9 at the O'Connell Center. … While Florida has won 11 straight at home against Georgia, the Gators have lost three of their last four games at Stegeman Coliseum. Florida's lone win during that stretch was a 104-91 double-overtime outcome in 2011. … Florida ranks third in the nation in scoring defense, holding opponents to 51.7 points per game. The Gators have held eight opponents under 50 points and 12 opponents under 60 points. … Florida is playing its seventh game away from the O'Connell Center in its last 10 games. … Junior point guard Scottie Wilbekin will get another tough defensive assignment in facing Georgia sophomore guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who is fourth in the SEC in scoring at 17.1 ppg. Wilbekin held Texas A&M guard Elston Turner, the seventh leading scorer in the SEC at 16.1 ppg, to just four points on 1-of-10 shooting. He followed that up by holding Missouri point guard Phil Pressey to just four points and six assists. Pressey, the SEC's assist leader at 7.3 per game, also had 10 turnovers against the Gators. Caldwell-Pope had 11 points on 4-of-10 shooting in his first meeting against the Gators. … Georgia senior point guard Vincent Williams is averaging 5.3 points and 2.4 assists off the bench. … Junior forward Casey Prather remains out for the Gators for at least another week with a high ankle sprain.

The owners of a former Boulder fraternity house that was vandalized in November are offering a reward of $10,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the six suspects in the case.
According to police, the vandalism occurred in the early morning hours of Nov. 17 at the former Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house at 1101 University Ave.. Video surveillance captured images of the six suspects throwing rocks and breaking windows while standing outside the building before pushing a table against a wall to enter the building through the second story, police said.
Once inside, the suspects kicked in a wall and set off a fire extinguisher before causing additional damage, according to officials.
The suspects all appear to be white males aged 18 to 25 years old. A white female was seen with the suspects outside the building, but was not seen entering.
The suspects caused about $70,000 in damage, according to Daniel Otis with New York-based Brickstone Partners, which owns the building and is putting up the reward.
The company is hoping to turn the building -- which is currently vacant -- into apartments.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon moved to the former Boulder International Hostel at 1107 12th St.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Kipp Euler at 303-441-3393. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776.
Tips can also be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website at crimeshurt.com. Those submitting tips through Crime Stoppers that lead to the arrest and filing of charges on a suspect(s) may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 from Crime Stoppers. ___

Actian Analytics Platform Hadoop SQL Edition arrives this month, billed as the "highest performing" industrial grade, fully compliant SQL in Hadoop offering on the market today.
"The Hadoop SQL Edition is the first and most comprehensive solution to give the millions of SQL users and business analysts access to data in Hadoop," said Mark Milani, senior vice president product engineering for Actian.
"By combining that access with the only end-to-end analytic processing natively in Hadoop, the analytic process is more available, consumable, and easier to manage for companies investing in Hadoop. The Hadoop SQL Edition broadens the scope of data discovery, increases the accuracy of decisions, and speeds time to value — delivering on the promise of big data analytics."
Powered by the firm's own vector processing engine, the Hadoop SQL Edition uses the X100 engine across every node of the massively scalable Hadoop architecture.
The company offers business-critical security, complete ACID compliance, full SQL support, and libraries of analytics functions to make the analytic process potentially easier to manage.
Additionally, the platform provides the only YARN Ready, end-to-end analytic processing natively in Hadoop, and accelerates the full analytics process from data blending and enrichment to analytic computation and operational BI.
"Until now, business analysts and BI tools have been locked out of the big data lake because only a subset of SQL was supported in Hadoop. Some SQL queries would not run in Hadoop while others had to be completely rewritten due to incomplete SQL support," said Milani.
Actian's platform claims to address this challenge by providing the SQL support that users demand from an enterprise-grade analytics database. The maturity of Actian's SQL environment also delivers industrial-strength DBMS security, encompassing users, roles, and authentication with ACID-compliant reliability.

After successfully competing during the regular season, the RVMS Knowledge bowl team headed into the sub-regional contest ready to demonstrate what they knew.
After successfully competing during the regular season, the RVMS Knowledge bowl team headed into the sub-regional contest ready to demonstrate what they knew.
The team, made up of six members, including Madisen Clennon, Gage Rohne, Halle Runck, Nathaniel Passe, CJ Theis and Becky Vang competed in early January for a chance to qualify for the Regional contest.
A total of 55 teams from across the region competed at the sub-regional event held at SMSU in Marshall.
Members of the team talked about their day, and said at that level the questions got harder and the competition more challenging.
After all, when it came to the sub-regional contest it was either do well or your season was over.
The meets the RVMS team competed in during the season, including those at Murray County Central, Wabasso and in Marshall helped prepare the team for the contest, and in the end the team did pretty well at sub-regions.
"We were in the running for first for quite a while," said Passe.
One bad round, said Theis dropped them out of contention, but the team still finished in the top 10 – good enough to qualify for the regional contest.
With 87 points and a ninth place finish, the RVMS team headed into the regional competition against 51 other teams who had also qualified.
A total of 25 teams each from two sub-regional contests took part in the regional contest, also held in Marshall at SMSU.
During the season, the teams competed at invitationals that included oral rounds, but according to Theis the regional contest included four oral rounds of 45 questions each, as well as a written round.
The written round is a team event, too, said Clennon, who added the RVMS team did OK in the written round.
Students in Grades 7-9 are able to compete in junior high knowledge bowl.
The RVMS team did not have any freshmen on its team, which put it at a disadvantage with other teams who did, as those older students competed with added contest experience.
Questions posed during the written and oral rounds at a knowledge bowl meet question the problem solving and critical thinking skills of those participating, with subjects, such as American history, world history, government, current events, economics, law, geography, literature, English, math, physical science, earth science, health, art, music and general knowledge of Minnesota.
The RVMS team knew it was up against strong competition when it saw teams coming in with uniforms, but it did not let that intimidate them. In the end, the team scored 86 points at the regional contest, which was good enough to place in the top 20.
There are up to five team members who can compete in a round, and with six team members competing for RVMS, there were times when they would switch, said Runck.
The RVMS team felt it had a successful season, and with no state contest held for junior high knowledge bowl, the team can say it qualified for the top contest in their activity. The knowledge bowl program is sponsored by the Southwest/West Central Service Cooperatives student activities program.
Members of the RVMS said they enjoy the Know-ledge Bowl activity and said they plan on participating again next year.
The team is coached by Jamie Steffl.
