The Singers were sponsored in the fall of 2014 by Senator Brian Birdwell to present a special concert in the State Capitol rotunda in Austin, TX and also presented an evening concert in the historical St. Joseph's Parish in San Antonio. In the spring of 2015, the Singers traveled to Italy, France & Switzerland representing Southwestern and sharing their passion for sacred choral music. In the summer of 2015, the Singers returned to St. Joseph's in San Antonio for the General Conference Meetings. The Singers performed two concerts with the Andrews University Singers, who were directed by Professor Stephen Zork. The Singers perform every year at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, TX.
In the fall of 2015 the Singers were privileged to work with award winning Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds, who led a clinic to prepare the Singers for the performance of 5 of his compositions. His works were performed at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Plano together with Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms. In the spring of 2016 the Singers traveled to South Korea presenting 15 concerts in school, concert hall and church venues throughout the country.

Raymond Felton injures pinkie in Knicks' win over Bucks
The Knicks hope they survived two scares Friday night.
They overcame a lackluster first half and stormed back from a 12-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Bucks, 96-86, at the Garden for their third straight victory, moving within a half-game of the Heat for the Eastern Conference lead.
More important for the long run, the Knicks held their collective breath when point guard Raymond Felton banged his once-broken right pinkie on Samuel Dalembert's knee while fighting for a rebound late in the third quarter.
Felton, who missed 12 games while the pinkie healed, doubled over in pain and later wore a towel over his head on the bench. But he returned to the game with 8:10 left in the fourth and even hit a three-pointer with 4:58 remaining to give the Knicks a 10-point lead as they took command of the game.
Felton finished with 14 points and eight assists. He said post-game X-rays were negative.
"He's tough,'' Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "Ray's been tough for us all season.''
Of Felton getting hit again on the finger, Woodson said: "That's going to be [a concern] the rest of the way out. We've just got to make sure that he doesn't break it or reinjure it.''
Felton said it was the first time in the four games since he returned that he has gotten hit the way he did Friday night.
"Just got to deal with it," he said. "I knew this day was going to come when I really got hit on it really hard and the pain was going to be very, very painful. But I'm all right. It's just something I've got to deal with."
Felton wears a pad on the finger during games. And he is grateful for that.
"If I didn't have that pad, there's no telling what might have happened," he said. "I might have broken it. Luckily I had that pad on it, so just a lot of pain. Still hurts right now. Something I've got to deal with. Put some ice on it and do my thing."
The Knicks held the Bucks to 13 points in the fourth quarter, 33 in the second half and 58 in the final three quarters. But they didn't take their first lead of the second half until J.R. Smith's three-pointer with 2:04 left in the third quarter made it 71-70.
The Knicks led 74-73 going into the fourth quarter and pulled away behind Carmelo Anthony (25 points, eight rebounds, six assists), Tyson Chandler (nine points, season-high 20 rebounds), Amar'e Stoudemire (17 points, seven rebounds) and Smith (17 points).
Anthony scored at least 20 points for the 31st consecutive game, extending his franchise record.
After missing one game because of a sore back, Jason Kidd started and scored three points in 23:45. The Knicks (29-15) host Sacramento Saturday night and Detroit on Monday to conclude a five-game homestand against beatable opponents.
Ersan Ilyasova led Milwaukee (24-21) with 19 points. Former Half Hollow Hills West and Long Island Lutheran star Tobias Harris played just 1:03 and did not score for the Bucks.
The Knicks were 6-6 when Felton was out. These are important games as they try to mesh, with Stoudemire, Felton, Kidd and Iman Shumpert having returned from injuries. They don't need to have Felton miss more time.
Stoudemire had another strong outing. He is averaging 16.6 points and shooting 63.9 percent in his last seven games.

The boxscore can't be right. That's your immediate reaction when surveying Mark Montgomery's debut with the Charleston RiverDogs.
A closer from Bruton High and Longwood University, Montgomery pitched one inning last Friday against the Rome Braves. He yielded two hits and one run and struck out …
Five? Really?
Sure, Montgomery, an 11th-round draft choice of the New York Yankees last month, fanned 48 in 30.1 innings for Longwood this spring. But five? In one inning? If true, is that a record?
Well, Montgomery did fan five, and it certainly appears to match a record.
The circumstances are as you'd suspect. Two of the Braves whom Montgomery struck out reached base when strike three was also a wild pitch.
Now a batter reaching first after striking out on a ball in the dirt is not that unusual. But two in one inning? In an inning when the pitcher strikes out the side?
We're talking Eddie Gaedel unusual.
"I really wasn't thinking about it," Montgomery said Wednesday from the RiverDogs' South Carolina base. "I was just glad we got the win. But afterward, it was kind of neat."
Montgomery entered the game with Charleston leading 10-7, only to allow a triple and single, narrowing the margin to 10-8. The next two Braves struck out looking, followed by the two who reached on wild pitches.
The bases were loaded. A single ties the game; anything in the gaps and Montgomery loses.
Montgomery froze Rome's Robby Hefflinger with a slider for strike three and his record fifth punch out.
No Major League pitcher has ever struck out five in an inning. At least not officially.
The Houston Astros' Joe Niekro did it in a 1976 exhibition game against the Minnesota Twins in the Louisiana Superdome. But Niekro was a knuckleballer throwing to a reserve catcher in Cliff Johnson. Madness was predictable.
Montgomery is the antithesis of a knuckleballer. He showed as much in his brief, pre-draft stay with the Peninsula Pilots, striking out five in two innings with fastballs and sliders.
He's done the same since signing with the Yankees.
In four appearances with Staten Island of the New York-Penn League, Montgomery struck out 10 in four innings. For his first professional save, he struck out the side against the Aberdeen (Md.) IronBirds, this before 6,610 at Ripken Stadium, named for you-know-who.
Since his promotion to Charleston of the South Atlantic League, Montgomery's fanned six in two innings. That's 16 Ks in 10 innings as a pro. Not a bad start.
And lest you think the two wild pitches Montgomery uncorked Friday evidence of a control problem: He's walked only two in those 10 innings.
According to the RiverDogs' media relations office, the last South Atlantic pitcher to strike out five in an inning was Jason Lakman of the Hickory Crawdads in 1997. Lakman never reached the bigs, played in the Canadian Baseball League in 2003 and concluded his career with the independent St. George (Utah) Roadrunners in 2008.
Two other documented cases of five strikeouts in an inning: Mike Schultz of the Lancaster JetHawks (Class A California League) in 2004, and Garrett Bauer of the Rockford RiverHawks (independent Frontier League) in 2008.
Odds are you don't know them. Bauer did not pitch in the majors, and Schultz had a brief 2007 stay with the Arizona Diamondbacks before heading to Japan, where he's playing his fourth season for the Hiroshima Toya Carp.
And while five strikeouts in an inning do not the next Mariano Rivera make, Montgomery did follow up his bizarre outing with a conventional, three-up, three-down save Sunday.
"Doing pretty well right now," he said.
To say the least.

Marlins complete sweep of NatsMay 31, 2012 - 3:09 AM Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI as the Miami Marlins completed a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals with a 5-3 victory.
Chris Coghlan, John Buck and starter Josh Johnson added an RBI apiece and Hanley Ramirez contributed three hits for the Marlins, who have won five of their last six games and went 21-8 in May.
Johnson (3-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings to pick up the victory. Heath Bell worked around a leadoff double in the ninth to earn his 10th save of the season.
Roger Bernadina went 1-for-2 with a pair of RBI and Danny Espinosa added an RBI base hit for the Nats, who find themselves just a half-game ahead of the Marlins for first place in the NL East.
Chien-Ming Wang (1-1) allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks with four strikeouts in four-plus innings to absorb the loss.
With the game tied at three, Miami took the lead for good in the fifth. Ramirez began the inning with a double, Stanton was hit by a pitch and Bryan Petersen walked two batters later to load the bags with one out. Facing Ross Detwiler, Buck sent a sharp grounder into the hole which was stopped on a dive by Ryan Zimmerman. He got up and fired to second for the force-out, but threw high and wide, which allowed Ramirez to score the go-ahead run to make it 4-3.
Stanton gave the Marlins some insurance in the seventh when he got out in front of a breaking ball from Washington reliever Ryan Perry and yanked it deep and into the seats in left field for a 5-3 game.
Bell allowed a double to Adam LaRoche and walked Bernadina later in the inning to put runners on the corners with two outs, but he fanned pinch-hitter Rick Ankiel to end the game.
Earlier, the Marlins jumped on top with a run in their first at-bat. Omar Infante laced ball off the glove of Bernadina in right for a double, moved to third on a ground out by Ramirez and scored on a base hit into left by Stanton.
Washington answered right back with a run in the second inning when Espinosa cranked a triple to deep center field and scored on a sacrifice fly by Bernadina to tie the game.
The Nats took the lead with a pair of runs in the fourth. LaRoche led off the inning with a double into the right field corner and advanced to third on a ground out by Ian Desmond before scoring on a base hit by Espinosa. Bernadina followed with a double to bring home Espinosa and extend the lead to 3-1.
But Miami responded with two runs in their half of the fourth to tie the game at three. Wang issued back-to-back walks to Logan Morrison and Petersen and both runners moved up on a ground out by Buck. Morrison trotted home on a sac fly by Coghlan, and Johnson helped his own cause with an RBI single into left.
Game Notes

The European Economic and Social Committee yesterday organised an event on the margins of Rio+20 summit in Rio de Janeiro and stressed the absolute need to put in place genuine mechanisms for dialogue and democratic participation in the transition process to a green economy and sustainable societies. Participants discussed various models of civil society participation in sustainable development from local to global level. Institutional approaches such as those being pursued by the EESC and the Brazilian CDES were considered, as were consultation rights of citizens and access to information as provided for in the Aarhus Convention.
"What the EU has brought to Rio from Brussels is the way in which we in the European Union integrate dialogue with our social partners and civil society into our decision-making process" said European Commission president José Manuel Barroso at the opening of the event. "Platforms that bring stakeholders together, like the EESC, have a crucial role to play in engaging civil society in dialogue, both inside and outside Europe. They can also provide the basis for sustainable development observatories that enjoy broad ownership," he added.
"One of our main messages is that the EU and all other international stakeholders must effectively involve social partners and other civil society structures in the Rio+20 follow-up that is designed to secure the transition towards a new green economic order. The road from Rio is as important as the road to Rio has been up to now", said Staffan Nilsson, EESC president and leader of the EESC delegation at Rio+20 summit.
There was broad agreement during the debate that governments set the frame for a change towards sustainable development and a green economy. However, governments alone will not achieve what they have agreed without the commitment of businesses, industry, workers' organisations and all other civil society stakeholders. Platforms for dialogue and participation such as economic and social councils and councils for sustainable development at national and regional level have proved to be effective and must continue to rise to the challenges ahead.

Nats @ Brewers
While the Cubs and the Cards duke it out at Wrigley this weekend, the Brewers begin a four game homestand Friday after enjoying their first day off since the All Star break. The Crew managed to "weather the storm" during a key stretch of the schedule. Twenty days straight, 13 on the road. What a roller coaster ride. Seven straight wins on the road to start, a 1-6 homestand, then a dugout dustup and a 4-2 road trip. The Crew finished 12-8. They were five games back when the stretch started and five back when it ended.
No team in the National League has played more games (60) or won more games (32) on the road this season than the Brew Crew. That's an encouraging sign but only if they take care of business at home.
Now it's the Washington Nationals at Miller Park. The Nats have a different look these days after trading Jon Rauch, and releasing Johnny Estrada, Paul LoDuca and Felipe Lopez.
Washington is playing good baseball lately. They've won six of seven since losing a season-high tying nine games in a row. They are scoring six runs per game in that stretch.
Some other news and notes for the series:
In four of the past five years, the series between these teams in Milwaukee has resulted in a sweep. In 2003 and 2006, the Nationals/Expos swept the Brewers. In 2004 and 2007, the Brewers swept the Nationals/Expos.
Milwaukee went 4-2 on its recent six-game road trip, but has lost five straight at Miller Park.
The Nationals have 291 extra-base hits (193 doubles, 15 triples and 83 home runs) in 2008, the fewest in the National League.
Lastings Milledge is batting .407 (11-for-27) and slugging .926 (25/27) with four home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored in the month of August.
Prince Fielder is riding a 10-game hitting streak. Over the streak, Fielder is batting .351 (13-for-37) and slugging .892 (33/37) with six home runs, eight RBI and eight runs scored.
The Pitching Matchups:
Friday: CC Sabathia (5-0, 1.88) vs. RHP Collin Balester (2-3, 4.55) on FSN Wisconsin
Saturday: Ben Sheets (10-5, 3.14) vs. RHP Tim Redding (8-6, 4.44) on FSN Wisconsin
Sunday: Manny Parra (9-5, 4.18) vs. LHP John Lannan (6-11, 3.55) on FSN Wisconsin
Monday: Dave Bush (6-9, 4.50) vs. RHP Garrett Mock *No live TV, FSN Squeeze Play
Have a great weekend.

give ned yost credit fot sticking with rivera ? he has not
played snice july 27th sticking with him ? really?
what is kendall batting this past month ?
one last thing on ned — hit and run with parra and kendall
on first?
mike rivera should get more playing time he can bat better than kendall but I don't can he call pitches better than him.
Great blog. The Brew Crew are no doubt having a great season. But I'm wondering, how do you think they will be able to recover assuming they will lose both Ben Sheets and CC Sabathia to free agency this off season?
Check out my blog and feel free to comment any time – "The Hot Corner" – http://dailyrant.mlblogs.com/
Hey there, first let me say "DON'T EVER LEAVE THE BOOTH!" We really enjoy listening to you call the game. YOU do a great job!
I always wondered if you had a blog of some kind. Tonight I found a link to your blog on the Brewer Nation. There's a guy on there named Big Rygg. He had a great entry about a script for the dugout in Philadelphia. It's called "A Look Inside the Clubhouse Tonight." Funny, funny stuff. You really need to take a look at this one. It's too bad he didn't write it to Yost.
Regarding Yost………..it seems that there is more cohesiveness in the dugout these last couple of games. Sveum seems to be "into" the game more than Yost did. I think Yost had to know the end was near. Just the change in his expressions were a sign. Good to see Robin Yount in there. It's obvious they make a good team. Just an observation on how much more relaxed and focused the team seems.
Regarding the Cubs………you don't think they'll just kind of roll over and play dead just to see us NOT get the wildcard, do you? I saw some replays of plays that should have been made tonight in their game against the Mets. I would hope that wouldn't be the case, but every season has a spoiler. I would just hope it wouldn't be intentional.
Last but definately not least. Go Fielder!!!!! Dejavu from 2005. What a way to end the game! My neighbors must think I'm nuts the way I yell during the game. Oh well…………you can take the girl out of Miller Park, but you can't take the feeling of Miller Park out of the girl !
Keep up the great work in the booth. Our household hopes you have a long, happy, productive career with the team! Best of luck.

Main cream puff ingredient to come from Illinois
Some fairgoers outraged; Gov. Scott Walker thinks it's OK
Brace yourself fairgoers, the cream in your cream puffs will now come from an Illinois company.
But fair officials are reassuring people that even though the dairy co-op is based south of the state line, the cream puffs will still be largely Wisconsin-made.
"I don't like that. I think it should be from Wisconsin, the Dairy State," fairgoer Jeff Fink said.
"Yeah, I kind of do have a little problem with it," fairgoer Patti Bichler said.
Prairie Farms of Illinois got the contract when the fair's cream provider, Golden Guernsey, went out of business.
The Wisconsin Bakers' Association, which runs the cream puff operation, found no Wisconsin company could handle the 1,200 gallon a day demand.
The Illinois company has pledged to rely heavily on milk from Wisconsin dairy farms.
"And we were very strict with them, making sure we stayed (with) Wisconsin diary products," Wisconsin Bakers' Association spokesman Dave Schmidt said.
"Doesn't it concern you, the message that sends having an Illinois supplier for this iconic product at the Wisconsin State Fair?" WISN 12 News reporter Kent Wainscott asked.
"It certainly concerns us, but really the quality of the product and the fact that they work with Wisconsin farmers, really sealed the deal for us," said Kristi Chuckel of the Wisconsin State Fair.
That's the reason Gov. Scott Walker, who has famously tried to lure businesses away from Illinois, said he's OK with it.
"When it comes to cream puffs, my understanding is those are still coming from Wisconsin dairy farms," Walker said.
Some people said they think it might actually be good for business.
"Hopefully, a lot of folks in Illinois come up and support the state fair in Wisconsin then," fairgoer Mike Hipp said.
But others said it just leaves a bad taste in their mouth.
"That'd be like the Packers moving to Illinois. There's something just not right about it," Fink said.
Prairie Farms is actually a dairy co-op of farmers from several Midwestern states, now including Wisconsin.
The people at the Bakers' Association told Wainscott they did taste tests, and believe people will not notice any difference.
People don't have to wait for the fair to decide. The cream puffs will be sold for the first time at IndyFest at the Milwaukee Mile.

Introduced to the track at a young age, car fanatic and aspiring driver Kyle Shields was once a rising star in the racing world. Offered a chance to race on the pro circuit in Mexico, Kyle was blindsided when his sponsor backed out, sticking him with the $30,000 bill. Burned by that experience, Kyle left the world of professional racing behind, becoming a technical advisor to the auto industry.
About to sell his race car and give up his dream for good, Kyle gets a surprise when Kurt steps in with an offer: head to North California to train under professional driver Brendan Gaughan, a 13-year NASCAR vet and 16-time winner, for a chance to join the team at Richard Childress Racing. To earn a spot driving for legendary RCR, Kyle will have to prove he's got what it takes on and off the track, so his new mentor will put him through the paces, improving his driving skills and helping him to master the mental components of the sport. But when the finish line comes, will Kyle make it to victory lane, or will his dreams once again be dashed?
Hopeful Update:
Though Kyle didn't receive an offer to join the RCR team, he returned home to his family with a renewed passion for racing and a newfound commitment to his dream. After deciding to hold onto his car and spend more time at the track, Kyle is once again racing on the weekends and currently exploring new opportunities with NASCAR.

Portland Press Herald: Maine Needs to take advantage of federal health care funds
By Senator Geoff Gratwick
Read more here.
I am caring for a lovely 37-year-old woman with active lupus. She worked in retail until about a year ago when she lost her job — as well as her insurance — due to worsening disease.
She can no longer afford her complex, expensive medications and has recently visited the EMMC emergency room five times for worsening shortness of breath. Her disease is progressing.
Despite the fact that she has paid taxes since age 19, my patient has fallen through the cracks of our health care system at a time when she is medically and economically most vulnerable.
She has no children at home and thus isn't covered through regular Medicaid, despite her lack of income.
Maine created a program that provides so-called "childless adults" with access to Medicaid coverage but it is currently capped. This is because the Legislature passed a tax cut in 2012 financed by the elimination of health care coverage for people like my patient. She will not receive Medicare federal disability insurance until next year.
There is a solution, one both complex and very simple. It will not take care of my patient's immediate needs but will help others like her, boost the state's economy and support employment.
Maine can take advantage of $430 million of new federal funds now available through the Affordable Care Act, or ACA.
These funds will pay for basic medical needs, medications, inpatient services and mental health care for childless adults, working parents and hardworking people who need the security of medical care.
Healthy people are productive people, sick people are not. We can use this money to care for nearly 70,000 of our 106,000 citizens without health insurance whose income is below $16,000 for an individual or $27,000 for a family of three.
The money will cover 100 percent of the costs of MaineCare for these groups from 2013 to 2016. Then, the reimbursement will slowly decrease to 90 percent by 2022.
There may be an initial cost to Maine to comply with certain technical aspects of the grants, but it is small compared to the benefits.
The Kaiser Foundation, an impartial health care think tank, estimates that Maine will save $350 million or 3.8 percent of its health budget from 2013 to 2022 if it adopts this part of the Affordable Care Act. Other groups think the benefit will be smaller, but not significantly so.
In addition, these federal funds constitute a huge jobs bill for Maine. They will finance clinics, hospitals, nurses, labs, pharmacies and other services that support health care.
Hospitals will gain because they will get cash for the care they provide to these newly covered patients instead of having to write off their charity care as bad debt.
Employers and employees paying for their own health insurance will gain because fewer costs will be shifted to them. Nationally, the cost of caring for the uninsured increases premiums for the average insured family by an estimated $1,000 per year.
Congress has already appropriated these funds and Maine's taxpayers are contributing to them. If we do not use this money other states will.
Recently, conservative Republican governors in New Jersey, Florida, Arizona, Michigan, and Ohio have accepted that they have little to lose and much to gain for the people of their states by accepting these ACA funds. They will be leveraging an enormous investment at a small cost. Each found an adroit face-saving way to change his mind. Maine is the only state in the Northeast that has not signed on thus far.
There are challenges.
Hospitals are worried that the state will no longer feel the same obligation to pay its share of the current Medicaid debt once their immediate fiscal needs are met by this new infusion of federal money.
Others are concerned that the federal government will not live up to its promise and will decrease its Medicaid reimbursement to less than 90 percent, although Maine has the option to 'opt out' if the program does not work.
In 1944, near the end of the World War II, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt said in his State of the Union address, "We cannot be content, no matter how high (our) standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people — whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth — is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed and insecure."
In Maine, too many are ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure — and without health care. While this program does not solve the fundamental flaws of our health care system, it is, for some, a lifesaving step in the right direction.
Gov. LePage can follow the lead of other Republican governors and accept these funds to rescue those who live with insecurity and ill health through no fault of their own.
It is an easy and potentially lifesaving decision with little downside. We will all reap the long-term benefits. Accepting federal funds already set aside to cover the health care of more Maine people is too good an opportunity to pass up.

Preds end skid, beat Kings 2-1 in 8-round shootout
Sergei Kostitsyn scored in the eighth shootout round, and the Nashville Predators snapped their three-game skid with a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
Pekka Rinne made 23 saves and stopped five of Los Angeles' eight shootout attempts as the Predators survived a weak offensive performance thanks to their Finnish goalie's sturdiness and a timely shot by Kostitsyn, who finally ended the lengthy shootout.
Captain Dustin Brown scored his first goal of the season for the Stanley Cup champions, who are off to a 2-2-2 start.
Jonathan Quick stopped 13 shots for the Kings, whose NHL-worst power play went 1 for 6 while Nashville and Los Angeles slogged through a largely dull game between two of the NHL's lowest-scoring teams.
Brandon Yip scored in the opening minute of the Predators' fifth stop on a seven-game trip, but Nashville managed just one shot in a 29:20 stretch shortly afterward - perhaps no surprise for the team that's last in the NHL with 23.2 shots per game.
David Legwand and Craig Smith scored on the Predators' first two shootout attempts, but after Mike Richards and Brown beat Rinne with change-of-pace goals, and Martin Erat missed his chance to end it for Nashville.
Three of the next four rounds were scoreless. After Simon Gagne missed to open the eighth round, Kostitsyn beat Quick for Nashville's third win in its last 10 meetings with Los Angeles.
Nashville hasn't figured out how to compensate for the absence of top goal-scorer Patric Hornqvist, who sprained his knee last weekend in Anaheim. Nobody has more than Erat's four points in the Preds' first seven games, and high-priced defenseman Shea Weber is among the players who haven't scored at all yet.
Yip scored his second goal of the season 58 seconds after the opening faceoff on a fairly innocuous shot from the top of the circle, while the Kings didn't get their first shot for more than five minutes.
Brown tied it during 4-on-3 play later in the period, sweeping home a fortunate rebound of Drew Doughty's wild shot off the glass behind Rinne's net. While Brown had only one assist to show for the Kings' first five games, Doughty hadn't even scored a point since his outstanding postseason run for Los Angeles last summer.
The goal was just Los Angeles' second power-play score of the season. The NHL's worst power-play unit began the game in a 1-for-27 slump, and failed to score on its first chance against Nashville.
The Predators played the final 16:19 of the first period without recording a shot, and Legwand recorded their only shot in the first 13:01 of the second period. Nashville dumped and chased with little success, and its power play was thoroughly ineffectual against the Kings, whose own power play has struggled mightily all season.
Los Angeles failed to score on the only power play in a tentative third period, but had a few good chances in the waning minutes of regulation.
Nashville awoke in overtime, getting most of the good scoring chances, but Nick Spaling appeared to miss an open net on the best opportunity.
NOTES: The clubs meet again in Nashville on Feb. 7 when the Predators finally return from their road trip - and then must make a one-game trip to Minnesota. ... The Kings sold out Staples Center for their 29th consecutive regular-season game. ... Los Angeles F Dustin Penner was a healthy scratch for the fourth straight game. ... Southern California native Jonathon Blum was scratched again by Nashville.

Sepp family
Sepp, a Dutch Mennonite family, whose ancestor (1) Christian Sepp was born about 1700 at Goslar, Germany, where his father was the assistant rector of the Latin school. Christian Sepp was a merchant, first at Hamburg, then at Amsterdam. Here he founded a bookshop and printing office, which for nearly one hundred years was leading in the Netherlands. It is not clear whether this Christian Sepp joined the Mennonite Church. He died in 1775 at Amsterdam. His son was (2) Jan Christiaan Sepp (1739-1811), whose first wife was Sara Focking (1745-73) and who was a renowned map engraver and bookseller in Amsterdam. He was well known for his fine collection of butterflies and insects, and he edited a number of famous books on flowers (Flora Batava), insects, and birds. In collaboration with Cornelis Nozeman, a Remonstrant minister of Rotterdam, he published Nederlandsche Vogelen in five volumes; after the death of Nozeman and Sepp this work was continued by Martinus Houttuyn. Sepp himself made some of the beautiful pictures in this book. Besides these and other books (Beschouwingen der Wonderen Gods) he also managed the publication of some Mennonite hymnals. Sepp was a man of great influence in Amsterdam; he was one of the founders of the association "Felix Meritis," which promoted public lectures on scientific themes, many of these lectures having been held by Sepp himself. In 1781 he was chosen as preacher of the Danzig Old Flemish (Bij de Kruikjes) congregation of Amsterdam; in 1787, when this congregation merged with the Zonist church, he became a Zonist minister until he retired in 1801.
Among his sons were: (3) Christian Sepp (1773-1835), who was superintendent of the police at Amsterdam, a pious man, who translated and published some works by Jung-Stilling into Dutch; (4) Jan Sepp (1778-1853), like his father the manager of the bookshop and printing office at Amsterdam, and (5) Hendrik Albert Sepp (1807-31), who was a lay minister at Knollendam 1830-31. (6) Cornelis Sepp (1810-68), the son of Jan Sepp (4), continued the printing and publishing business of his father and his grandfather. Another son of Jan Sepp (4) was (7) Christiaan (1820-90), a Mennonite minister and church historian. (8) Jan Sepp, a son of Cornelis (6) (born 1847 at Amsterdam, died 1905 at Beverwijk), studied at the Amsterdam Mennonite Seminary and served as minister at Witmarsum-Pingjum 1871-73 and Beverwijk 1873-1905. He published Gedachten des Bijbels (1876), Gedachtenis aan Doopbediening en eersten Avondmaalsgang (Beverwijk, 1889), and some sermons; his paper, "De nieuwe gezangbundels der Amsterdamsche gemeente," is found in Doopsgezinde Bijdragen of 1872. He and H. Boetje composed a new hymnal for the Dutch Mennonite congregations, usually called Leidsche Bundel.
(9) Alidus Anne Sepp (born 1881 at Beverwijk), a son of Jan Sepp (8), was at first an office clerk; after studying theology at the University and the Mennonite Seminary of Amsterdam he served as minister in the following Mennonite congregations: Witmarsum-Pingjum 1914-18, Edam 1918-26, Veenwouden 1926-30, Westzaan 1930-34, and Zaandam-Oost 1934-44. He published Achter de Maaiers (Hillegom, no date indicated), a few Biblical plays, and a set of catechetical booklets. In 1932-42 he was secretary of the Algemeene Doopsgezinde Sociëteit. Because of Nazi sympathies during World War II he took residence in Germany and never returned to Holland.

In the Blog
Oh just apologize already.
Some of you may have heard that Toronto city councilor Rob Ford recently got himself into some trouble by saying the following (moronic and offensive) thing in a speech proposing that stores be allowed to open when they wish:
"Go to Hong Kong, okay? I've been there. You want to see workaholics? Those Oriental people work like dogs. They work their hearts out … that's why they're successful in life. … I'm telling you, Oriental people, they're slowly taking over, because there's no excuses for them. They're hard, hard workers."
My sincere apologies if you just spat your drink all over your keyboard. Toronto's Mayor David Miller rightly demanded that Ford apologize and Ford refused. Victoria Shen (Co-President of the Toronto Chapter of the Chinese Canadian National Council) wrote a brilliant open letter in response to Ford's comments, stating, "It is not enough to deride and be outraged by racist comments. Words are empty. Sanctions are merely palliative. We challenge those who are genuinely offended by Councillor Ford's comments to run for office at the next Municipal election. It is the only way."
(I'm still trying to figure out the image choice that accompanies BlogTO's reposting of Shen's letter, but I'll leave that alone.)
Now, Rob Ford is not exactly known for his ability to come up with the best ideas or say the most tactful things. Torontoist lets us know he had this to say about why Toronto shouldn't fund an AIDS prevention program:
"If you are not doing needles and you are not gay, you won't get AIDS probably. That's bottom line." Of course, when it was pointed out that heterosexual women are the fastest-growing group of AIDS patients, Ford postulated "How are women getting it? Maybe they are sleeping with bisexual men."
For reals? How is this man allowed to serve the city of Toronto? I'll tell you how. There are so many people who just don't see what the big deal is when leaders say these kinds of things. There's been a lot of arguing on the blogs about how objection to his most recent statement is "nitpicky" and people who think he should apologize are overreacting. There are even people in the "media" who say crap like this:
"This preoccupation with what people say and how they say it and finding offense in everything said is happening, I suspect, for the same reason that dogs lick their genitals. It's because they can."
Again: for reals? But no, there's more. Apparently those of us who appropriate words for self-identification are hypocrites. Again, from the Canada Free Press:
"Most recently radical feminist women have begun using the C-word (which to me is probably one of the most offensive words in the English language) as an identity tag. I recall an article by the columnist Barbara Kay wherein she quoted a woman who had emailed her a proud proclamation that 'women are c—s.' Kay was appalled at the idea that women would be using that term as a self-descriptive term."
You know what, cunts? I'm not even going to go there. What I am going to say is that the reason we have to call out and condemn public officials for what they say is because they have the very public power to indicate what kind of speech is okay. And hate speech is never okay, regardless of the intention (Ford said he meant it as a "compliment.")
Just to give you an idea of why I think public officials need to be called on their hate-filled bullshit before everyone feels like they have an all access pass to spew vile rhetoric - Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern didn't know that she was being recorded in a meeting when she launched into a speech about what she thinks of her gay and lesbian constituents. What results is a real indicator of why it's important that public officials be held accountable for their words:
As for Rob Ford:
"I don't know why I should (apologize)," Ford said. "People aren't asking me to."
Well, why don't you go ahead and ask him to?
UPDATE: From The Toronto Sun
Councillor Rob Ford says he has apologized to as many as 20 people who objected to his comments about "Oriental people."
Ford, who is considering running for mayor in 2010, sparked controversy at last week's city council meeting when he made comments which included "these Oriental people work like dogs, they sleep beside their machines."
Called on by Mayor David Miller to apologize on the floor of council, Ford chose to say sorry personally to those who were offended.
Ford said yesterday that he has apologized to "15 to 20" people who contacted him.

As I have said before, Mandriva is a nice Linux distribution for working if you blow up your Windows system. However, unless you install it, Mandriva ONE cannot be used as a rescue distro because it does not mount other partitions in Live mode, so you cannot access and retrieve your stored data. That was at least what I thought until yesterday.
I was testing Mandriva ONE 2010.2 and, sure enough, my other partitions could not be accessed in Dolphin (it reported the same error message when trying to mount them). I believe this is done to prevent damage to the primary OS in the computer, be it Linux or Windows.
The interesting part is that I decided to launch Gimp, the GNU image manipulation software, to see how fast it would open. It opened pretty fast, so I went to the menu to look for any image to load it... and, as I was doing it, I was saying to myself that the attempt was a futile one since I had no images in Live mode. Nevertheless, I saw my other partitions in the open menu and playfully hit the icon where my home partition is sitting on my hard disk. I got a pop up message informing that the operation I wanted to perform required root privileges and asked for my root password.
A root password!
A bit amused and expecting an error message, I typed "root" and voilà ! It mounted my home partition. In disbelief, I looked for a picture there and opened it, quickly modified it, and saved it to my home partition in a different folder.
I tried to open the folder in my home partition with Dolphin and it worked: I found the new image file.
I repeated the process with Gimp to see if it would mount my Windows partition as well. It did, so I took an image from Windows, modified it, and put it into a different folder. Using Dolphin once again, I noticed that my Windows partition was also mounted. I looked for the new folder I had created and located the file there.
I thought that it might be a glitch in Mandriva 2010.2, so I repeated the process using a Mandriva ONE Spring (2010.1) CD. When Gimp asked me for my root password, instead of typing "root", I hit "cancel" and it went ahead and mounted my home partition anyway. The same happened with my Windows partition, which shows that inputting a password is not actually necessary. Other programs, such as Gwenview, could also open files in other partitions after the process.
Now, the practical application of this is that you can retrieve all sorts of files (not just images) once your other partitions are mounted. In other words, you can use Mandriva as a rescue distro provided that you have any usb flash drive in which you can copy your retrieved files.
It is just too bad that Mandriva ONE does not come with K3b, the CD/DVD burning software. It could have made Mandriva a very good candidate for my perfect rescue distro quest.
A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx 4, Mageia 7, PCLinuxOS, MX 19, PicarOS, Elive 3, and AntiX 13.

Gimp in Mandriva, a glitch than can help you rescue files
4 comentarios:
That's an interest discovery with great rescue potential. Will you inform Mandriva about it? :PResponderEliminar
I don't know... if they fix it, Mandriva will be a work distro and cannot be used for rescuing files any longer.ResponderEliminar
You kinda just did as this article is now listed on tuxmachines... just save your disks and make a copy or two.ResponderEliminar

Introduction to the New Testament (Carson & Moo)
Category: Biblical Studies
Formerly included in the Scholarly Zondervan Bible Study Suite. Also available for individual purchase through Easy Install.
D. A. Carson and Douglas Moo's Introduction to the New Testament explores the authorship, date, purpose, and historical background to every book of the New Testament.
An Introduction to the New Testament focuses on 'special introduction' that is historical questions dealing with authorship, date, sources, purpose, destination, and so forth. This approach stands in contrast to recent texts that concentrate more on literary form, rhetorical criticism, and historical parallels---topics the authors don't minimize, but instead think are better given extended treatment in exegesis courses. By refocusing on the essentials, An Introduction to the New Testament ensures that the New Testament books will be accurately understood within historical settings.
For each New Testament document, the authors also provide a substantial summary of that book's content, discuss the book's theological contribution to the overall canon, and give an account of current studies on that book, including recent literary and social-science approaches to interpretation.
This second edition reflects significant revision and expansion from the original, making this highly acclaimed text even more valuable.
- A new chapter provides a historical survey examining Bible study method through the ages.

This book is a very good resource to have "on the shelf." My only regret is that Amazon and Google books are selling digital copies for $15-$20 less than Accordance. It is hard to justify purchasing the digital copy through Accordance at this price.

John Goodricke, Edward Pigott, and Their Study of Variable Stars
Linda M. French
Presented at the 100th Spring Meeting of the AAVSO, May 22, 2011; received February 28, 2012; revised April 17, 2012; accepted April 17, 2012
John Goodricke and Edward Pigott, working in York, England, between 1781 and 1786, determined the periods of variation of eclipsing binaries such as b Persei (Algol) and b Lyrae and speculated that the eclipses of Algol might be caused by a "dark body," perhaps even a planet. They also determined the periods of variation of the first two known Cepheid variables, the stars whose period-luminosity relation today enables astronomers to determine distances to distant galaxies. Goodricke holds special interest because he was completely deaf and because he died at the age of 21. The lives and work of these two astronomers are described.

With no slowing down in sight, Reebok puts forth its latest capsule of Basquiat-marked footwear designed by second-year curator Swizz Beatz; the upcoming Fall/Winter 2012 Footwear Collection focuses on three models – the Pump Omni Lite HLS, SL Berlin, and Tennis Vulc Low – that exemplify Basquiat's and Reebok's influence on two distinct subcultures that have come together as one. You can expect the Basquiat x Reebok Fall/Winter 2012 Collection to begin hitting select Reebok retailers like Footaction in August, so check out the three models below for a better view.

Bathurst High School
My work captures the fleeting innocence of youth, the joy and the melancholy of being absorbed in something you love, and the connections between people, places and performance spaces. The layering of textures, rhythmic movements, muted colours, streetlighting and Gary Jules singing his version of 'Mad world' creates a sense of poignancy. The dreamlike images depict the enthusiasm of those who practise and perform, but might never achieve fame, acclaim or even acknowledgement. This seems particularly relevant to young people in country towns. Installing the vignettes in 'worn-out places' used by young people makes my work accessible to this audience.
Influencing artists: Shaun Gladwell, Jeffrey Smart, Craig Walsh, Gregory Crewdson
Performance and street culture are strong influences on Shaun Gladwell's art practice. Research Gladwell's body of work, especially Woolloomooloo (night), and develop a case study based on the artist's approach to his contemporary world.
Joe Denyer-Simmons is also tracing contemporary street culture in this work. How does he include his unique personality and combine it with a very public concept?

Nokia is on a spree of announcing new phones! Yesterday, the company announced three new Symbian Belle powered phones, the Nokia 600, 700 and 701. Today, the company has announced two new handsets, the Nokia 100 and 101. Unlike the handsets announced yesterday, both the handsets announced today are low-end ones, and are meant for the emerging market.
The Nokia 100 and 101 are powered by the Series 30 OS. Both the handsets also come with a color display, FM radio and a flashlight on-board. The main difference between the Nokia 100 and 101 is that the latter is a dual-SIM phone, while the former is not. The 101 also comes with an MP3 player, 3.5mm audio jack and a microSD card slot. The handsets will also have an exceptionally good battery life, and can last up to 25 days on standby.
In selected markets, the handsets will come with Nokia Life Tools pre-installed as well. The Nokia 101 will go on sale in emerging markets like China and India from this quarter, itself. The Nokia 100 will be launched sometime in the next quarter. The Nokia 100 will retail for €20 and the 101 will retail for €25, excluding taxes and subsidies.

Why? Weight, moods prompt women to puff
Caren Chesler, 40, is no dummy. She's well aware of the health risks associated with smoking: She even lost her father to a form of esophageal cancer thought to be linked to cigarettes. Yet she continues to light up– sometimes smoking as many as 35 cigarettes a day.
"I think about my father's death, and the increased probability that I'll get cancer," she says. "Does it make me stop?" she asks. "No."
Like Caren, most female smokers can practically recite the statistics in their sleep:
*They run up to six times the risk of heart attack that nonsmoking women do.
*Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women and will kill an estimated 68,800 women this year (about 29,000 more than will die of breast cancer).
*Smoking-related illnesses, such as lung cancer and heart disease, will kill close to 178,000 women each year.
*Women who smoke have an increased risk of cervical cancer and difficulty conceiving.
Despite these sobering statistics, a quarter of all American women in their 30s smoke, the highest percentage of any age group. (Twenty-one percent of women smoke overall.)
What's behind our predilection to puff?
Experts say there are a number of factors that can make it extra tough for women to kick the habit. In fact, women are one-third less likely to be successful at stopping than men, according to Saul Shiffman, director of the Smoking Research Group and the Clinical Psychology Center at the University of Pittsburgh. Why do women find it so challenging to give butts the boot? Is it possible for a woman to become a quitter for life? Read on.
"I'm afraid I'll pile on pounds"
A significant number of female smokers say they want to quit but are afraid they'll gain weight if they do. (One of the reasons teen girls start smoking in the first place is to avoid gaining weight.) They're right to be concerned. Smokers tend to have diets low in fruits and vegetables and high in fat, according to Nancy Betts, professor of nutrition and health sciences in the College of Education and Human Sciences at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Plus, nicotine speeds up your metabolism, so when you quit, your body slows down the rate at which it burns calories. Smoking may also affect levels of serotonin, the feel-good hormone that regulates mood and appetite (in fact, smoking itself may act as a mild antidepressant).
When you come off cigarettes, it's tempting to reach for sweets and carbs in an attempt to improve your mood. It all adds up to a possible weight gain of 5 to 15 pounds, according to Robert Klesges, lead author of the book How Women Can Finally Stop Smoking.
It's no surprise that women who try to quit often consider starting a diet at the same time, but experts say this double-barreled approach will probably fail. "Women need to focus all their energies on quitting smoking first and worry about the weight gain later," says Klesges. "In fact, I tell them not even to step on the scale for six weeks."
"I'll become a total crab"
Men who quit smoking get cranky, too, but women seem to be hit with an extra whammy. The mood-elevating properties of nicotine are stronger for women, making their pre-quit highs higher and post-quit lows lower. Plus, the side effects of stopping– lowered concentration, heightened anxiety, depression, and irritability– often mimic the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and, in a cigarette catch-22, PMS often makes those symptoms worse.
About 60 percent of relapses occur during the first 14 days after someone has kicked the habit, according to Klesges. "Women should quit smoking a few days after their period ends so they're not hit with PMS at the same time," he says.
Even so, a woman trying to quit may feel extra vulnerable to remarks from others during the first two weeks after she stops. While a man might brush it off when a friend says, "You're so grouchy now that you've quit," statements like that can cause some women to ditch their efforts. Instead, women should say: "The first few weeks are the hardest, so I hope you'll understand if I'm stressed."
"I've tried to quit– and I can't"
Stress reduction is often cited as one of the biggest benefits of smoking. A fight with a friend, a harried day, or an unexpected traffic jam become reasons to light up. Indeed, a deep drag can help a smoker chill out, concentrate better, and feel more energetic when she's tired.
Once nicotine enters the brain, it results in a temporary change in chemistry that the smoker experiences as enhanced pleasure, decreased anxiety, and a state of calm alertness. "It goes straight into the brain in a very immediate, sharp spike," says Dr. Corinne Husten, medical officer of the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) Office of Smoking and Health. "It's much more reinforcing than other drugs, such as heroin, that have a slower delivery to the brain."
"My friends all smoke"
A strong sense of connection often comes with smoking. While tobacco company ads 30 years ago emphasized the independent woman ("You've come a long way, baby!"), today's product pitches feature groups of gregarious friends chatting, laughing, and bonding over cigarettes. For many women, kicking the smoking habit often means limiting contact with or moving away from those relationships– a decision that may be as tough as actually giving up cigarettes.
Although having pals who smoke can make it more difficult to quit, it's not impossible, says Steve Wood, a therapist who counsels patients at the live-in nicotine addiction program at St. Helena Center for Health in Napa Valley California. "Ask your friends to work with you by not smoking around you and by certainly not offering you a cigarette," he advises. "As you continue to succeed, you'll get a lot of reinforcement from others wanting what you have."
"Smoking is my identity"
"Women almost always start smoking in their teen years because they want to be cool or sexy," says Wood. In fact, many women in their 30s who light up started as teenagers. And the rebellion that played a part in the first puff remains decades later, but with a slightly different face.
"The young rebel is closely connected to a strength I see in successful adult women who smoke: They are highly independent decision makers in both career and family" Wood explains. "The rebel transforms over time and becomes the modern woman managing life in the early 21st century– career, mother, wife, often divorced, and on her own or never married."
Smoking is a constant for these women. So while they might change their romantic relationships or move or get a new job, cigarettes remain, literally, as pocketsize friends. "The one companion for these women throughout the years is their cigarettes," says Wood. "They are, in some ways, more dependable than these other aspects of their lives."
Quitting is tough, no doubt about it. The typical long-term rates for those who rely on nothing but their own willpower are a dismal five to eight percent. But the good news is, experts say you get better, not worse, at kicking the habit each time you try because you learn what pushed you to begin again.
Before you try to quit (whether for the fourth or fortieth time), it's crucial that you prepare. "Often it takes a glimpse of reality for a smoker to be ready to take that step," says Shiffman, who has studied smoking addiction for more than 30 years. "It could be that they see someone get cancer or heart disease, or they run for a bus and realize how winded they are."
Once you're ready, the best approach is to use several of the strategies below, not just one:
1. Buddy up. Tell one or more friends, family members or co-workers you're quitting and ask them for help. Often, simply sharing your intention to quit can make you more committed. Choose people who can sympathize with your situation. "A nonsupportive partner who continues to smoke is one of the most difficult problems to overcome," says Marc Manley, executive director of the Center for Tobacco Reduction and Health Improvement at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota. If your husband won't quit, says Dr. Manley, at least suggest that he smoke away from the house.
2. Go to a pro. "Whether one-on-one with a doctor or through a support group, counseling is key" says Dr. Husten of the CDC. "Together you'll develop a plan that includes practical strategies for quitting."
One of the newest-and best-twists on professional counseling is telephone quit lines. Thirty-three states have them, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota has set up system-wide phone programs for its members. Callers to the Blue Cross and Blue Shield program are immediately connected with someone who will help them create a plan of attack, with tailored homework plus follow-up appointments. Most telephone quit programs are free, and a study of smokers who called a California-based line showed that telephone counseling roughly doubled abstinence rates even 12 months after the smokers had given up cigarettes. (The American Legacy Foundation's Circle of Friends Web site, join-the-circle.org, has a list of state telephone quit lines, as well as lists of other national quitting resources.)
Computer-based counseling programs are becoming more prevalent. The American Lung Association's (ALA) Freedom From Smoking online cessation clinic (ffsonline.org) is free 24 hours a day. Another online effort, Committed Quitters (committedquitters.com), is a personalized support program available free to purchasers of certain nicotinereplacement products (you must enter a code from the inside of the product box). It creates a targeted plan based on your responses to a series of questions, ranging from readiness to quit to the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
3. Don't dismiss meds. Quit rates using any one of the six available medications to help people stop smoking are around 25 percent. These meds fall into two categories: nicotine replacements (patches, inhalers, gums and nasal sprays) and medication (the antidepressant bupropion hydrochloride, marketed as Zyban). "Pick one based on your preference and on your previous usage and failure patterns," says Dr. Husten. For example, if you're prone to depression when quitting, Zyban may be your best bet.
There's also evidence that combining different medications-a patch with nicotine gum, for example-can be particularly effective. "The patch provides a low, steady amount of nicotine, to reduce withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine gum can then provide more nicotine when needed," explains Dr. Husten.
4. Track your triggers. Many smokers associate a cigarette with a morning cup of coffee, the drive to work or an afternoon break at the office-routines that, when repeated day in and day out, can make lighting up a kneejerk reaction. Similarly, certain situations, like drinking alcohol or socializing in a smoky bar, can prompt you to reach for a pack.
"You need to change the routines that might lead you back to cigarettes," warns Shiffman. "Be vigilant. Ask yourself, `Are there any triggers coming up, such as a stressful meeting with my boss?' and have a plan in place for dealing with them." For example, you might chew a stick of nicotine gum before the meeting.
5. Try. . . and try again. No matter which methods you choose, it's crucial to stick with them-and to try again if you fail. Experts say it can take between five and 11 attempts before a person's efforts to stop smoking finally stick.
It's well worth it. Quit now and your body will begin to repair part of the damage almost immediately-some benefits, such as lowered blood pressure and pulse rate, appear in as little as 20 minutes after your last cigarette. After about 15 years without cigarettes, an ex-smoker's risk of getting lung cancer is only slightly greater than that of someone who's never puffed. Now that's news that can help you breathe easy.

PORTSMOUTH — The Portsmouth High School football team took the field without nine regular starters, an ongoing theme in a season full of adversity.
It's also been a season of triumph, and the state champion Clippers did it one more time. This time on Thanksgiving.
Taking the field just five days after winning their Division III title, the oft-injured Clippers had enough in the tank for a 27-14 win over Division II Dover on Thursday, taking back the Turkey Bowl for the first time since 2008.
"We were down so many people," Portsmouth senior Rick Holt said, "and that's one of the better game's we've played all year."
Portsmouth ended a three-game losing streak to Dover in what will be the their final meeting on Thanksgiving Day. The Clippers finished 3-4 all time in the series against their longtime rival.
"It's about time we actually won this game," said Holt, who came up empty in his first three tries as a varsity player, "because it can't be a rivalry unless the other team wins. We finally got the win, and I can't think of a better way to send myself off."
Dover had two chances to produce a game-tying touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, and both ended with costly turnovers.
The first was a fumble at the Portsmouth 34. The second was a brilliant defensive play by Holt, who snuffed out a screen pass, batted the ball in the air and watched linebacker James Haslam take an interception back 10 yards for the game-sealing score.
Holt also finished his day with three sacks — one that went for a 13-yard loss.
"Rick has been making plays for us since he was a freshman," Portsmouth coach Bill Murphy said. "He's a great competitor."
Junior quarterback Donovan Phanor was the orchestrator of Portsmouth's offense. He passed for 173 yards and a touchdown and added a pair of rushing scores from inside the 10, helping the Clippers turn an early 8-0 deficit to a 21-8 lead through three quarters.
Portsmouth out-rushed the Green Wave 159-78, spearheaded by 210-pound sophomore Mikel Toar and his 115 yards on 18 carries. Kyle Seawards was Dover's leading rusher with just 24 yards.
"It starts up front," Dover coach Ken Osbon said. "Forever, Portsmouth has always been loaded with athletes. Where we've had some success over the years is that we've been a little bit bigger, a little bit stronger in the trenches. That's not the case right now."
Dover quarterback Derek Stegman finished 10-for-22 passing for 169 yards. His 32-yard touchdown pass to tight end Eric Wilson and subsequent two-point conversion throw helped the Green Wave close the first quarter with an 8-0 lead.
The Clippers responded with an 11-play, 74-yard drive that ended with Phanor's QB keeper from the 1. They added a second scoring drive before the half, hurrying to the line and scoring on a 12-yard reception by senior Taylor Henschke to take a 14-8 lead into halftime.
Trailing 21-8, the Green Wave came alive late in the third quarter when wide out Jarrett Hudson flipped field position with a 72-yard catch and run to the Portsmouth 20. Seawards covered those yards with three consecutive Wildcat runs, scoring from the 7 to pull Dover back within 21-14. The extra point failed, however, when the hold was bobbled and Phanor raced into the backfield to smother the play.
Dover got the ball back quickly when Seawards made a leaping interception on Phanor's deep ball down the sideline. But with about nine minutes left in regulation, the Green Wave gave it back when Portsmouth's Charles Kendall pounced on a fumble in Portsmouth territory.
"On both sides of it, we made mistakes," Dover senior Colin Shaughnessy said. "We didn't capitalize on stuff we should have and that we practiced the last couple of weeks. Got to give it to them, too. They're a good team. That's why they're the champs of D-III."
Hudson paced Dover with four receptions and 118 total yards from scrimmage. The Clippers got 59 yards receiving from Henschke and 40 from Chris Main, who also handled the kicking duties and went 3-for-4 on extra points.
It was Portsmouth's second non-league win this season against a team from one of the state's higher divisions. The Clippers also own a 22-10 win over Division I Londonderry.
"Any time you can beat the bigger schools, you're happy to do so," Murphy said. "And personally, I was coaching this team when we were in that upper division, and we got kicked around a little bit. So we had the chance to play some of those teams, and it just makes you feel well that you have players that can compete at that level."
Portsmouth 27, Dover 14
Dover 8 0 0 6 - 14
Portsmouth 0 14 7 6 - 27
Scoring: First quarter: Dov - Wilson 32 pass from Stegman (Wilson pass from Stegman) 4:52; Second quarter: Por - Phanor 1 run (Main kick) 11:55; Por - Henschke 12 pass from Phanor (Main kick) 1:20; Third quarter: Por - Phanor 7 run (Main kick) 6:17; Fourth quarter: Dov - Seawards 7 run (kick fails) 11:16

TORONTO — Sher Kopman always adored the green salads her sister-in-law Michelle Cass whipped up. "They were simple but incredibly delicious," she said.
Like everyone else who had ever tried Cass's salads, Kopman was impressed by their perfect balance of tantalizing tastes.
Cass's salads were perennially popular, largely because of her dressings. Concocted from scratch, they were a meld of olive oil, vinegar and maple syrup.
Cass had always stayed clear of commercial dressings, considering them unhealthy and less than tasty or nutritious because they contained fillers, preservatives and refined oil and sugar.
Although Cass was something of a magician in the kitchen, it never occurred to her that marketing her dressings might launch a business career.
It was left to Kopman to suggest that the dressings might appeal to the public. It was one of those eureka moments that can change lives.
"I imagined that a healthy version of a traditional salad dressing would sell," Kopman said.
Cass, who has a background in holistic nutrition, was initially not impressed. Boring, she thought. "But as the idea stewed in my mind, I got more excited," she recalled. "We both share a passion for healthy, great-tasting food."
Acting on this deceptively daring concept, they conducted intensive research and testing, during which they refined their product.
Cass and Kopman launched RawFoodz Inc. in October 2010, starting with a modest line of kosher-certified salad dressings, all of which are organic, vegan, and nut- and gluten-free.
The first four dressings, French Fusion, Glorious Greek, Purely Poppy and Sea-zar Serenity, were followed by Japanese and Italian dressings.
Their newest one, Ranch Revival, is due to be unveiled soon. Another dressing, Pomegranate Passion, may hit shop shelves one day soon.
Containing such high-quality ingredients as antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, the dressings can be used not only in green salads but in pasta dishes as well.
RawFoodz dressings can be purchased in major supermarkets including some Loblaws and Sobeys stores, and in gourmet and health food stores in Ontario and Nova Scotia.
They can be ordered online, too.
In the near future, the dressings are expected to be distributed in western Canada and there are plans to distribute them in the United States.
Sales were slow at first. "It was very hard at the beginning," Kopman said.
"But we were always confident of success," Cass said, noting that their company is now profitable and on an upward climb.
Their products are made in a 2,700-square-foot facility in the north end of Toronto. Cass, 39, is in charge of blending and manufacturing, while Kopman, a 37-year-old graphic artist by profession, handles such tasks as labelling, packaging, administration and public relations.
They are assisted by one employee.
Now that their salad dressings have gained acceptance among consumers, Cass and Kopman are hard at work perfecting a line of dips and marinades.
"We want to give people healthy and convenient alternatives," Cass said.
Kopman sounded a similar theme: "Our intention is to make it convenient for everyone to enjoy healthy, delicious and nutrient-rich foods."
