West Hartford (AP) — A Connecticut woman was charged with attempted murder after police say she tortured her 70-year-old mother for more than three hours.
Forty-seven-year-old Gail Litsky was arraigned Monday in Hartford Superior Court and is detained on $500,000 bail. She's also charged with cruelty to persons, strangulation and assault on a person older than 60.
Police say Litsky went to her mother's home in West Hartford Friday night and assaulted her over a few hours by repeatedly striking her in the face and body, cutting her with a knife and using her necklace to choke her.
Authorities say the assaults stopped after Litsky's teenage daughter called police.
Litsky's mother is being treated at a hospital.
It's not clear if Litsky has a lawyer. She is expected to undergo a mental health evaluation.

ARM CoreLink CCN-508 is the second in a family of Cache Coherent Network products. It enables a fully-coherent, high-performance many-core solution that supports up to 32 cores on the same silicon die, enabling true System on Chip solutions. The CoreLink CCN-508 enables system coherency in heterogeneous multicore and multi-cluster CPU/GPU systems, such as those required for the networking and high-performance computation markets, by enabling each processor in the system to access the other processor caches. This technology reduces the need to access off-chip memory, saving time and energy, which is a key metric for enterprise customers. CoreLink CCN-508 also enables systems based on ARM big.LITTLE™ processing, which delivers both high-performance, required for content creation and consumption, and extreme power efficiency for extended battery life.
Optimized for ARM Cortex Processors
The CoreLink CCN-508 supports the high performance and efficient cores including the Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 processors, and is the second interconnect product to support the AMBA 5 CHI standard. This new CHI (Coherent Hub Interface) has been developed to support high frequency, non-blocking data transfers between multiple fully coherent processors. It is especially suited for enterprise networking and server applications.
Integrated Low Latency Level 3 Cache
The CoreLink CCN-508 Cache Coherent Network includes integrated level 3 (L3) cache and snoop filter functions. The L3 cache, which is configurable up to 32MB, extends on-chip caching for demanding workloads and offers low latency on-chip memory for allocation and sharing of data between processors, high-speed IO interfaces and accelerators The snoop filter removes the need for broadcast coherency messaging, further reducing latency and power.
High Performance DDR3 and DDR4 Memory Interfaces
The CoreLink CCN-508 is optimized to work with the CoreLink DMC-520 Dynamic Memory Controller. The CoreLink DMC-520 provides a high-bandwidth interface to shared off-chip memory, such as DDR3, DDR3L and DDR4 DRAM. Enterprise class RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) features such as ECC for x72 DRAM, TrustZone security and End-to-End QoS (Quality of Service) are integral components of this new memory controller.
CoreLink CCN Cache Coherent Network Series

Six of the Top 10 boys teams in AAAAAA lost to unranked teams last week.
This week, it's happened only once, but it's early.
On Tuesday, Alcovy (6-11) beat first-place Luella (13-5) in a Region 2 game 60-51. But Luella wasn't ranked, so that one count. Just thought you'd want to know.
The real one was Lassiter's 67-51 win over No. 9 Roswell. Lassiter is 4-13. Roswell is 11-6. is Lassiter (4-13).
''Inexplicable the egg we laid on Tuesday night,'' Roswell coach Ty Phillips said in an e-mail on Thursday. "Lassiter has some key pieces back and is much better than their record, so they get tons of credit for playing harder than us. At least now the distraction of being ranked won't be a problem.''
Maybe the rankings could be a little better, but it sure seems like there's some nice parity this season. No mega teams that we've seen from Milton, Wheeler or Norcross this year.
A few more observations in Class AAAAAA –
- North Gwinnett's girls are pretty good. They're 16-0 with national rankings, but more important was the team's 64-49 victory over No. 2 Norcross on Tuesday. Norcross won state titles in 2010 and 2011, has the state's top player in Naismith Award finalist Diamond DeShields and had beaten North Gwinnett four straight times. Baylee Rexing, one of six Division I recruits on North Gwinnett's roster, had a big night, scoring 16 points – matching DeShields' total. A 5-2 junior, Rexing has committed to Ole Miss. North Gwinnett seniors Lexie Brown (signed with Maryland) and Peyton Whitted (Penn State) are ranked among the top 60 seniors nationally by ESPN. Norcross comes to North Gwinnett on Wednesday for a rematch.
- Parkview's girls aren't bad, either. Check out this quick story on them posted on Thursday. This is a team that's won 51 straight regular-season games but won't get full respect until it goes a little further in the state playoffs. Parkview was knocked out by Norcross last season. This year, Parkview would face Norcross in the second round if Parkview is No. 1 and Norcross is No. 2 out of their regions. That's where they sit at the moment.
- Powder Springs is a good place to watch basketball Friday with four ranked teams on the docket. North Cobb (No. 2 boys, No. 7 girls) are playing at Hillgrove (No. 7 boys, No. 8 girls). Both of North Cobb's teams and Hillgrove's girls made the state quarterfinals or better last season. The AJC's Chip Saye will be there, while David Purdum covers the Chattahoochee-Alpharetta boys game. Note that AJC.com covers at least four games every Tuesday and Friday this season.
- Brannen Greene of No. 1 Tift County scored 37 points in Tift's 87-77 victory over Westover, the No. 8 team in AAAA, on Tuesday.. The Albany Herald reported that Greene made six 3-point shots and five dunks. Westover's T.J. Cromer, a former Tift player, scored 30 for Westover. ''I don't foresee many close games in the future,'' Greene told the newspaper, ''so having a close game will help us.''

Tift had a couple of close games at the City of Palms, both losses. But it's pretty bare south of Atlanta this year, especially without the Savannah schools in AAAAAA. As it has been the past several years, teams from the North will go thru a very difficult draw to get to the Finals. Why on earth don't they crossover like football? The only difference this year is that Norcross and Wheeler don't have to worry about Milton as they have the past four years. And Milton was loaded with no senior starters.

Cant wait for the "superstar" Greene to visit Valdosta and the Thrilla Dome. His little
world gonna get rocked.
Maybe his teammates might remind him what happened last year.

Wildcats…you should relax. You guys aren't nearly as big as a threat as you think you are. Last year y'all won by a bucket…lol & that's without Brannen Greene in the lineup. We returned all of our starters with the addition of Greene so don't be big-headed on history. @SouthGaFan The school told us there was no evidence of a scandal even though we know it's kind of obvious he was recruited, it just can't be proved, but who knows maybe he came here on his own to play along side Tadric.

Valdosta hasn't played anyone worth mentioning except maybe Archer and have lost to some teams that they shouldn't have. Tift has beaten everyone the should no matter the end score. But Feb 1 will settle this argument.

Dont have a dawg in this fight. I a Savannah High person. We lost to Tift Co. It was a good game we lost by team personally I think they got a few call, but that dont take away the fact they beat us. Good game Tift. I would love to see Tift and Valdosta. We all know about Greene and Jackson, I would like to see that point guard I call him The Truth and number 22 with that nice jumper play each other. Wish we could did that one on ESPN.

We lost by 10 sorry at work

Styles make fights. The Tift- Valdosta game is a contrast of styles. Tift is the big hard hitting bully and Valdosta is the quick handed young kid. On paper Tift should win by 20 plus. However, Valdosta is the team with nothing to lose. These two teams have won the last 4 Region1 titles. Valdosta in 2009, 2012 / Tift in 2010,2011. I see this game coming down to can Valdosta rebound and defend the post and can Tift handle Valdosta's press and keep up with Valdosta's speed?

Tifton may be the best team in the state and may very well win the state title. Im just proud of my hometown Wildcats for even being in the conversation with Tifton. We have a bunch of homegrown kids that all play multiple sports in high school. They play with that Wildcat spirit!!!! No Div.I players, No stealing players from the next door county or any All-American transfers. They are just a bunch of local kids that grew up together and believe in their coach and each other!!!!!
@ Tift Blue Devils – Valdosta won 2 of 3 from Tift last year and very well should've won all three!!! Tift is good, but not unbeatable. Brannen Greene is good, but he aint nowhere near the next Lebron James or Kevin Durrant!!!!!!
January 19th, 2013

Langston Hughes is currently 12 wins 2 losses overall & 4 wins-0 losses in the region . They've won against Westlake & Douglas County Girls basketball teams this season. They haven't lost a game at home yet & are on a 7 game winning streak. Go Panthers!
January 20th, 2013
11:50 am
I told everyone that Brannen Greenes coments would be bulletin board material for COFFEE, BRUNSWICK and VALDOSTA. Tift still has to go to BRUNSWICK and VALDOSTA. Lke I said, Tift is good, but not unbeatable. Tift will have a very difficult game against St. Anthonys of New Jersey. I look for them to lose by double digits.

COLLEGE PARK — The one constant in Mark Turgeon's steady climb up the coaching ladder was building the type of reputation that most in his profession covet. It is summed up by two simple letters that for decades have described some of basketball's top minds: X's and O's.
Trying to attract what once were called blue-chip prospects to programs that were off the radar because of location, league affiliation or fan interest was often difficult, making it crucial for Turgeon to outcoach his counterparts. More often than not, he succeeded.
Now starting his third season at Maryland as successor to Gary Williams, one of the most respected bench coaches in modern college basketball history, Turgeon finds himself at an interesting juncture in his career.

- Video: Williams retires as Maryland basketball head coach
He is being hailed as a top-notch recruiter, but questions remain about his ability to coach.
"I don't feel like I have to prove anything because I know I can do that, but I don't like that my team looks like it is not well-coached," Turgeon said Tuesday, sitting in his office at Comcast Center. "Sometimes last year I just had to let them go, the less that was in their mind, the better they played."
Turgeon admits that at times last season "it looked like street ball. But I think now they can handle both situations [running a set play or freewheeling]. They know how to play the right way. I just have a good team, and I've got to make the most of it."
As the Terps begin the season against No. 18 Connecticut at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Friday night, their 48-year-old coach knows he will be facing more scrutiny in the coming months than he has in the 2 ½ years since taking over after Williams retired.
Turgeon understands that another long run in the National Invitation Tournament won't be acceptable to a fan base that became a bit frustrated by the way Turgeon's team played a year ago. The Terps last made the NCAA tournament in 2010.
"I think if we win one more game [in last season's ACC tournament against North Carolina], we're in the NCAA tournament and that's pressure off me," Turgeon said. "By doing what we did [winning three games in the NIT], helped our program more.
"It might not have helped me, but I think everybody around here, especially my boss [Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson], realizes that we're doing the right things and taking the proper steps. Unfortunately in today's world, all that matters is the NCAA tournament and how you play once you get there. Our goal is to be in that thing and be successful."
Typically blunt, Turgeon acknowledged that the coaching job he did for much of last season was not as good as in his first year. Last year the Terps finished 25-13 after racing out to a 13-1 start against less-than-stellar competition and then struggling to find consistency for most of the Atlantic Coast Conference schedule. Maryland was 17-15 in Turgeon's first season.
"I think the first year I thought I got as much out of that team as I possibly could get," Turgeon said. "We looked like we were coached. Terrell [Stoglin] was going to shoot, he had to shoot. X-and-O, bench coaching-wise, last year was a disappointment to me. I could never really figure the team out until the very end.
"We finally figured it out, which made the summer a lot better. I'd like to think we're going to be well-coached and that most of my teams are well-coached. There were a lot of times last year when I wondered whether we were. To be well-coached, you've got to have players buy into what you're doing and I think this team this year has totally bought in to what we're doing."
Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown, who gave Turgeon a scholarship at Kansas and later made him his captain on a team that reached the 1986 Final Four, said no one should question Turgeon's ability on the bench.
"There's no doubt in my mind that he knows the game as well as anybody. He's as smart a player as I've ever coached," Brown, now in his second year coaching SMU, said Thursday. "He sat next to me at Kansas [as a graduate assistant] and he sat next to me in Philly [as an assistant with the 76ers], and I valued his input. I think he's as good as anybody who I ever worked with."
Brown said Turgeon had to overcome some obstacles his first two seasons, first replacing a high-profile coach such as Williams and then making a player such as 7-1 sophomore Alex Len the centerpiece of his team.
"Any time you follow a great coach there are always going to be people making comparisons," Brown said. "Even though he loved Alex, it's not an easy thing when the kid already has his bags packed. If they had Alex from the beginning his first year or injury-free, I don't think people would have any reservations or doubts about how well he can coach."
Brown, who speaks with Turgeon on a regular basis, said that his former player is more concerned with returning Maryland to national prominence than building his resume.
"It's never about him," Brown said."It's about the kids and the people he works with."
Jim Turgeon, who coaches women's basketball at Iowa Western Community College said that the criticism his younger brother received for the way the Terps played last season had to bother him, but that he is better equipped to handle it than he was before.

Why $4 gas will cause less pain this time
Were you swearing under your breath at the pumps in 2008? Here's why it'll be easier to handle if prices soar again (and they probably will).
This post comes from Rick Newman at partner site US News & World Report.
When gas prices hit $4 per gallon back in the summer of 2008, America's drivers had a collective breakdown. No other single item affects the American psyche like gas prices, which are advertised on every street corner and magnified by the media every time they hit an uncomfortable threshold. No wonder car sales stalled, consumer confidence collapsed, and some motorists even mothballed their cars, switching to buses or bicycles to get around.
Gas prices retreated during the recession, plunging all the way to $1.60 by the end of 2008 -- a much-needed break for consumers at a time when many other things were going wrong. But a recovering economy has once again lifted the price of gas above $3, an unusual spike during the winter months, when motorists typically drive less. With the global economy heating up -- especially in oil-thirsty China -- many forecasters expect oil prices to keep rising, bringing gas prices along with them.
The price of oil and all of its byproducts is notoriously hard to predict, especially since it depends on variables like currency-exchange rates and the activity of speculators making bets on the future. But many analysts expect oil prices to consistently drift higher as global demand rises, millions of new drivers take to the road in developing nations, and drillers exhaust cheap, easy-to-reach oil deposits.
U.S. pump prices may not soar toward European levels any time soon, but they could easily rise by 25 percent or more over the next several months, since they usually rise as driving picks up during the spring and summer. Executives at General Motors say they're prepared for $4 gas. Others think prices could go higher. On top of that, there are serious proposals in Washington to raise the federal tax on gas, to help pay down the mushrooming national debt.
The next gas-price spike, however, won't be quite as painful as the last one. Here's why:
Drivers have downsized. Before the 2008 spike, drivers had gotten lazy about fuel economy. Gas prices had barely crested $3 before 2008, with typical prices closer to $2 per gallon. Cavernous sedans and camper-sized SUVs had regained popularity. In 2008, according to J.D. Power & Associates, mid-sized and large cars accounted for 65 percent of all sales, with compacts and subcompacts making up just 35 percent.
Sixty-dollar fillups began to change buying habits. By the end of 2010, the share of mid-sized and large cars had fallen to 61 percent of sales, with smaller cars rising to 39 percent of sales. That might not seem like a huge change, but it's the most abrupt shift in car-buying habits since at least the 1980s. And it came during a time when there were some huge discounts on weak-selling SUVs like the Jeep Commander and soon-to-be-retired versions of the Dodge Durango and Ford Explorer. So some buyers probably figured they were getting such a good deal on a big car that it would offset the higher cost of fueling, even if gas prices were to spike.
Cars have smaller engines. Another trend has been the downsizing of engines, even in some redesigned vehicles that have stayed about the same size. That's happening thanks to turbochargers, direct-injection systems, and other under-the-hood technology that basically gets more pop out of a gallon of gas. The base engine on the new Toyota Sienna minivan, for instance, is a four-cylinder that averages 21 mpg and is cheaper than a more conventional V-6 option that gets lower mileage. The new Ford Explorer crossover won't even come with a V-8 option, like the old one did, and the V-6 mileage is 25 percent higher than on the old model. Data from J.D. Power shows that sales of cars with 4-cylinder engines has risen from 39 percent of all sales at the beginning of 2008 to 44 percent today, while sales of 6- and 8-cylinder cars have fallen.
The same technology is making economy cars more appealing, too. Small cars like the Ford Fiesta, Mazda2, and Chevy Cruze have become hits not because they're cheap and get good mileage. Lots of cars do that. These diminutive standouts have earned praise because they're also fun and sporty, with surprising pickup for high-mileage cars. The arrival of fun economy cars is breathing new life into the small-car segment, which Americans tend to ignore except when they're worried about finances. And more gas-sipping technology is on the way, a good sign for small cars.
Hybrids have gathered steam. Electric cars like the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt (2011 North American Car of the Year) are getting all the attention these days, but hybrids averaging well over 30 mpg are far more practical and affordable for most drivers. There are nearly two dozen mainstream hybrids available, including the Honda CR-Z sports car, luxury makes like the Lexus HS 250h and RX 450h, and family vehicles like the Ford Fusion sedan and Toyota Highlander crossover. Overall, hybrids account for a respectable 2.4 percent of total sales, a share that has continually gone upward. With many more hybrids on the way, that trend is likely to continue. Toyota, for instance, plans a whole family of vehicles under its Prius nameplate, including a wagon coming later this year and a plug-in model due in 2012 that will take part of its power from a household outlet.
People are driving less. One phenomenon of the 2007-2009 recession was a sharp drop in the total number of miles driven by Americans. During prior recessions, driver miles flattened out briefly, but from 2007 to 2009 they dropped by an unprecedented 2.5 percent. Driving has picked up a bit since then, but driver miles are still well below the 2007 peak. Some of that is due to higher unemployment, fewer commuters, and less overall economic activity. But some families are getting by with fewer cars, and drivers have learned to combine trips and curtail their driving, to save money. For people who have learned thriftier driving habits, higher gas prices won't take quite the same bite out of disposable income.
The government has mandated better mileage. It's no accident that cars are getting more efficient, and it's not entirely because of consumer demand, either. Automakers might still be fomenting horsepower wars and boasting about size, except for tough government rules requiring a sharp increase in overall mileage by 2015. Those rules, issued under President Bush and then strengthened under President Obama, basically require aggressive new efforts to improve mileage much more than the ordinary evolution of technology would allow. So a big part of the reason that sexier compacts and thriftier haulers are even available is the automakers' need to field more efficient offerings throughout their entire fleets.
Some drivers, in fact, keep inching back toward gas guzzlers, as if the 2008 spike in gas prices is a distant memory. Despite the shift in car-buying habits, there's still a clear correlation between falling gas prices and sales of larger cars, and vice versa. To some extent, new technology is allowing drivers to think small while driving big, and sparing them from some of the tradeoffs that used to come with buying a thriftier car. But if gas prices rise much above $4 per gallon, some drivers may experience buyers' remorse all over again. And this time, if we're lucky, there won't be a nasty recession to drive prices back down.
More from MSN Money and US News & World Report:
What a complete and utter crock. A gas price hike like this article predicts will cripple the fledgling recover.y And, nice headline - $4 gas and how to get by. Then the article lists not one thing about how to get by. Just, hey, hope you bought a more fuel efficient car the last time gas prices skyrocketed for no real reason other than speculation and stopped purchasing luxuries like food.
MSN money is going downhill fast. What a dumb article.
BTW, the oil companies in this country only conrtol about 10% of world supply anymore. Everything else is owned by overseas corporations or nations (like Russia or Saudi Arabia). Welcome to Peak oil. Welcome to the endgame. Things are about to get really nasty, and then even nastier.
A recovering economy boosted the price of gasoline? What recovering economy?
Too many transparent news articles. The majority of the news media reflects the same philosophy the Federal Government has...American people are stupid and easily duped..
'Unemployment Down 8.9%'
(over 21%)
'Inflation Holds 2.8%'
(over 10%)
'Housing Industry Rebounds'
(1 + out of 5 houses in Florida stand empty)
'Recession Bump Smooths Out'
(we're in a rapidly increasing Depression)
One lousy green Bell pepper costs $1.49 in WalMarts. I'm glad I'm so old I don't need much food to survive.
But now less than 3 years later, all of a sudden $4 isn't so bad. Why it will barely even be noticed by anyone. YEAY OBAMA!!
And the MSM wonders why it's almost dead.
You have ZERO credibility left.
HELLO MCFLY? Anyone home?
Trucks use gas. And sorry moron, but you can't "downsize" a truck that carries goods across the open highway. Diesel at $5 will mean everything you buy that is delivered via truck - which is 90% of what you buy - will cost more. Food will cost more. Clothes. Electronics. Airplanes use jet fuel. Which means travel will cost more. More cost means less people traveling. Less people traveling will mean hotels laying people off along with places like DisneyLand and other tourist attractions.
And just wait until November when people in the north start getting their heating bills and it;'s 30% higher than this past winter. Guess nobody will mind though huh, because they bought a Honda Civic.
Is this really what journalism has become? Sad and pathetic.
Exactly. This author doesn't realize that other things require gas too. Another example would be our postal service. Postal delivery trucks use gas too. So what happens if gas goes up? Price of stamps goes up? Delivering things goes up? What about ships that deliver cargo? Imports and Exports? They use fuel and pardon my language but they use more f******* fuel than airplanes and cars combined. Just look at Port of Los Angeles or Miami. Only thing going down is our economy.
I don't know about all of you but if I have enough cash to buy a hybrid car, that cash is going to my grocery bill and bank account.
1. I traded in my 16mpg cars for 32mpg cars.
2. In nice weather, I ride a motorcycle that gets 60mpg.
3. I drive less.
4. I shortened my commute.
5. I bought energy stocks so I can make money off of those that drive guzzlers.
Bring on $4/gallon gas. I'll still be spending less on fuel than I did in 2000.

Nick Homler is a senior at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, and like many young budding filmmakers, is both curious and concerned about the future of independent movie theaters.
By now, many of us have heard the story - the high cost of converting to digital projectors required by Big Distributors will likely cause many independently owned theaters to close doors. Homler, who was a junior this summer when his team participated in the sixth Sleepless in Lake Placid student film competition, found he had a genuine interest in the issues surrounding this cinematic sea change, and sought to bring it into focus for others by creating a short documentary for his capstone project.
Nick enlisted the help of the Adirondack Film Society and our little band of misfits, ADK MOGUL, and began interviewing theater owners, film critics, and filmmakers to get their take on the situation. In this clip, Nick and his crew interview Nelson Page, a New Jersey theater owner who made a trip to Lake Placid to present "Metropolis" at the Palace Theatre on November 1st. Page discusses the role of community regarding the plight of movie theaters.

Movie : Purab Aur Pachhim
Music Director : Kalyanji Anandji
Singer(s) :Mukesh
Lyricists :Indeewar
Koi Jab Tumhaaraa Hriaday Tod De
Tadapataa Huaa Jab Koi Chhod De
Tab Tum Mere Paas Aanaa Pirye
Meraa Dar Khulaa Hai, Khulaa Hee Rahegaa, Tumhaare Liye
Abhee Tum Ko Meree Jarurat Nahee, Bahot Chaahanewaale Mil Jaayenge
Abhee Rup Kaa Yek Saagar Ho Tum Kanwal Jitane Chaahogee Khil Jaayenge
Darpan Tumhe Jab Daraane Lage, Jawaanee Bhee Daaman Chhoodaane Lage
Tab Tum Mere Paas Aanaa Pirye
Meraa Sar Zukaa Hai, Zukaa Hain Rahegaa, Tumhaare Liye
Koi Sharta Hotee Naheen Pyaar Me, Magar Pyaar Sharton Pe Tum Ne Kiyaa
Najar Mein Sitaare Jo Chamake Jaraa, Buzaane Lagee Aaratee Kaa Diyaa
Jab Apanee Najar Mein Hee Girane Lago, Andhero Mein Apane Hee Ghirane Lago
Tab Tum Mere Paas Aanaa Pirye
Yeh Deepak Jalaa Hai, Jalaa Hee Rahegaa Tumhaare Liye

From Tri-City Americans
KENNEWICK, WA – The Tri-City Americans today made forward Parker Aucoin their first pick (15th overall) in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, held at the Deerfoot Inn in Calgary, Alberta. Overall, the Americans selected 10 players in this year's draft.
Aucoin, listed at 6'0 and 176 pounds, became the first forward taken by Tri-City in the first round since Connor Rankin (2009) after posting impressive numbers in his bantam year. Serving as the team captain of the Calgary Northstar Sabres, Aucoin appeared in 33 regular season games and totaled 63 goals and 87 points. The Calgary, Alberta-native's 63 goals this season is second most in Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League history, second only to current Portland Winterhawks forward Ty Rattie's mark of 75 in 2007-08, while finishing 3rd in the AMBHL scoring race.
In Round 2, Tri-City picked up another offensively talented forward from Alberta. Nolan Yaremko (29th overall), a 5'11 178 pound left wing, was a member of the Southside Athletic Club Southgate Lions of the AMBHL who captured the Alberta and Western Canadian AAA Championships. Yaremko finished 13th overall in AMBHL scoring, after racking up 28 goals and 69 points in 33 regular season games.
Then, with two picks in the 3rd Round, Tri-City got defensive, taking two blueliners four picks apart.
With the 59th pick, the Americans claimed Mark Drohan of the Calgary Bisons. The 5'11 143-pound Calgary-native collected seven goals and 15 points in 28 games for the Bisons, which won the AMBHL Challenger South division title.
Then, with pick #63, Tri-City selected Dylan Coghlan from Nanaimo, British Columbia. The 6'1 174-lb. defenseman spent the 2012-13 season with the Nanaimo Clippers of the Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey Association. Coghlan played in 35 games for the Clippers, registering 18 goals, 44 points and 72 penalty minutes.
Tri-City then used their remaining selections to take Morgan Geekie (5, 90th), Jordan Roy (5, 95th), Nicholas Sanders (6, 125th), Anea Ferrario (7, 146th), Parker McCormick (8, 163rd) and Cory Thomas (8, 169th) respectively.
Of the 10 players selected today, the Americans grabbed five forwards, four defensemen and one goaltender. Tri-City also selected one player from the United States (Ferrario), which marks the fifth straight season that the club has drafted at least one U.S.-born player, five from Alberta, two from Saskatchewan and one each from British Columbia and Manitoba.
The WHL Bantam Draft is the WHL's talent identification process and serves as the first opportunity for WHL teams to add players to their respective 50 player lists. Eligible players for the Bantam Draft will be 1998-born players who reside in Alberta, B.C., Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

No-no contest
20 years ago, baseball was besieged by no-hitters
By Trevor Hayes
April 30, 2010
Click here to view video footage of Nolan Ryan's sixth career no-hitter.
Baseball fans like labels.
1968 was the Year of the Pitcher. 1961 was dubbed the Year of the Home Run. A book even labeled 1930 as the Year of the Batter.
So if one trend must define a season, 1990 was the Year of the no-hitter.
When the dust settled 20 years ago, a record-setting nine no-hit games had been thrown. Later rule revisions lowered the number to seven, which is still matched just once in modern baseball history – amazingly, the following season.
Of course, the 1990 season had other notable moments. Rickey Henderson won the AL MVP. Fellow future Hall of Famer George Brett became the only player to win a batting title in three decades. Closer Bobby Thigpen topped 50 saves – the first in history – and set the single-season record at 57.
But the rash of no-hitters became the dominant story of the first year of the new decade. And when the story of 1990 is told at the Baseball Hall of Fame, the exploits of the men on the mound becomes the dominant theme.
Officially, a no-hit game occurs when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game – which consists of at least nine innings – that his team wins. But the Year of the No-hitter wasn't just notable for the nine no-no's, but also for the close calls. Twenty-two games took place in 1990 in which one team was held to a single hit or less – and the year started off at a rapid pace.
By the third day of the season, the first no-hitter was already in the books. Angels Mark Langston and Mike Witt combined to blank Seattle on April 12. Their manager, Doug Rader, said afterward he wouldn't have removed Langston under normal circumstances, but he didn't want to risk injury after the brief spring.
"If (Langston) would have been adamant about staying in the game, I think it would have allowed it," Radar said. "This one had less drama because it was with two guys. But still, it was a 1-0 ball game and the game was on the line with every batter."
Witt, who threw a perfect game on Sept. 30, 1984, walked to the mound in the eighth to a chorus of hometown boos. But he won over the crowd, working two quick innings and retiring Ken Griffey Jr. to end the game. The Griffey strikeout set in motion a whirlwind season.
Andy Hawkins, future 300-game winner Randy Johnson, Terry Mulholland, Melido Perez, Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, Dave Stieb, Dave Stewart and Fernando Valenzuela all joined Witt and Langston on the no-hitter list for 1990. Hawkins' and Perez's accomplishments eventually fell victim to the rule changes (Hawkins lost his game 4-0 on errors, Perez's game was shortened to six innings by rain) and are no longer offical no-hitters.
Each of 1990's no-hitters is represented in Cooperstown. Caps from Hawkins, Johnson, Perez, Ryan, Steib and Stewart all made their way to the Hall of Fame. Mulholland and Ryan donated their jerseys and Steib and Stewart both gave up their spikes. Balls from each no-hitter adorn the Hall's No-Hitter Exhibit. The display is located on the Museum's third floor and has a special section dedicated to Ryan, the all-time no-hitter record holder with seven.
And more items are on the way. A ball from Ubaldo Jimenez's April 17 no-hitter will soon be on display at the Hall of Fame, honoring the Colorado Rockies right-hander's gem against the Atlanta Braves. Balls from every big league no-hitter dating back to 1940 are on exhibit at the Museum.
Trevor Hayes is the editorial production manager for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

"My first trainer experience"
The project trainings, along with many unemployed people, are attended by young volunteers participating in other activities of our NGO partners. After their take IDEA trainings, these young people gain additional skills and knowledge that helps them to become professionals themselves. For example, one of volunteers of Tokmak-based NGO "Ortega y Gasset" that joined IDEA network in 2014, Denys used to attend several trainings and this IDEA Center as a trainee. But in June 2014, after Denys participated at a seminar "IT school for NGOs" held by Microsoft Ukraine in Kyiv, he successfully started conducting IDEA trainings himself. Denys shared his experience of realizing this opportunity. He says: "Even though I took trainings at my IDEA Training Center and participated in the second" IT School for NGOs "at Microsoft, I was incredibly nervous during my first training. Its topic was "Windows 8 (Farewell XR!)" that I myself went through during "IT School for NGOs". Though I was prepared and confident that everything would according with my plan, this new experience of working with people and the presentation topic - all made me a little nervous. As a trainer, I must make sure that people who attended the training understand me, and I should be aware of their interest in my information. Fortunately, most of the audience was young, so I quickly found the approach to communication and understanding with my students. And, in a quiet mood, but with focused concentration, time flew by me unnoticed. Information about the modern style of Windows 8 came out of my mouth itself. I thought only about using my time efficiently to manage to present out the entire volume of materials that I have prepared. For the first time, the youth heard enough information, and I'm happy with my result, but I will not lie - I still have to learn a lot from my trainers. I felt immense relief at the end of the training, and realized that I really like this thing. I'm sure that this experience was my first but not the last training session, and I do not plan to stop at that."

Financial support from municipal government
NGO "Centre Podillya-Socium" actively partners with IDEA Project Powered by Microsoft YouthSpark and delivers computer training to youth, particularly disadvantaged young people. Recently, the organization won a grant at the 2014 social projects contest held by Vinnitsa City Council. The City supported its project proposal "Uniting Generations" which aims to improve the living standards of the elderly through the mastery of modern information technology. Assistance for older people in learning the basics of computer literacy during the project is going to be provided with a help from student volunteers. The main component of this success was that in February 2014, the organization received free Microsoft software licenses for 10 computers. Congratulations to "Centre Podillya-Socium" on this success!

Internship at IDEA Center helped to start a venture
Yaroslav Markitan (22) from Ivano-Frankivsk says, "I graduated from college, and my specialty is computer engineering. Unfortunately, I did not have enough experience and practice, so, for a long time, I was unemployed and looked for a job. Recently, I signed up for training and internship at IDEA Center affiliated with NGO "Business Award Foundation". Trainers and staff of the Center taught me practical skills in computer maintenance, and it gave me invaluable experience. I decided to try to start my own business of servicing of computers and office equipment. I plan to cooperate with several entrepreneurs and maintain their equipment. Hopefully, I will become a successful entrepreneur. Through a partner network of IDEA Center, I have received positive recommendations and began to serve several businesses, including a children dance club and a network of home appliance stores. This is a good start for my own business, and I thank the project for helping me with it!"

Creating a Cristmas fairy tale!
Hanna Lebedeva (23) about two years ago, upon an advice from her friends, took IDEA training in Luhansk, and now Hanna shares her success and plans for the future: "At IDEA The Centre opened by the charity fund "Light of Heart", I studied Microsoft Office course. I am very, very grateful to my friends for that advice! After I completed the course I was able to open my own business. Originally, I posted an ad on the Internet for services "Santa Claus. Give your kids a fairy tale for Christmas Holidays." So, now I work as Snow Maiden and I have my own agency to provide, as I say, jolly mood!' This is how IDEA courses helped me to find myself in life and open my creative potential. And I would like to expand the list of services that my agency provides and give children holidays all year round! Also in my plans is to create my own website. Hopefully, IDEA Center operation at "Light of Heart" will help me with this too".

Total distance travelled: 68.8 nmi (10.2%)
Henry Worsley gives us today's report from the Amundsen team. We hear about their 13th day, full of rest, well deserved, but productive nonetheless. Knowing the Amundsen team, there's always something to be done, even on a day off!
Henry's report, as always, resounds with the epic spirit of adventure of Scott and Amundsen.

The Scott team report today comes from leader Mark Langridge, who laments on the continuing delays caused by sastrugi (for a definition, please see our new Polar glossary). The guys celebrate their own milestone, crossing from 78 to 79 degrees south, with a little liquid refreshment provided by Chivas Regal. We might wonder whether Chivas Regal better with pork scratchings or boost bars!

It seems a fitting day to launch our new feature, Letters from Home, in which we give voice to the loved ones of our intrepid adventurers. This week, Wendi Langridge shares her thoughts:
"It has been 3 long years of preparation for my husband, my hero, who is finally embarking on his expedition, fulfilling his dreams. I write this as an honorary member of The South Pole Lonely Wives' Club, due to Mark having already been on a solo expedition to The South Pole in 2008/2009. Mark knows that if it were not for the love and support of everyone at home, he would not be able to achieve this lifetime ambition. Mark has the most amazing willpower I have ever known – if only he could give some to me – and his determination and strength are truly admirable."
"Since my return from Punta Arenas I have put all of my energy into raising money and gaining support for the lads. I felt such a part of it when they were preparing to leave Chile, it was very hard to leave. It can get lonely at times but our English Bull Terrier, Bullit, keeps me on my toes and he too misses his Daddy, although it is great being able to follow them on the website. On that note I would like to thank the sponsors, family, friends, and all the people out there who we do not know, for their continuing support, and of course thank you for all the donations."

Expanding Production in Vietnam
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Thailand's leading oil and gas firm, PTT Exploration and Production (PTTEP) is gearing up for a massive $3.1 billion equity sale to finance the $1.9 billion acquisition of Cove Energy for which the company had successfully outbid Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A). PTT's equity sale will be the biggest ever in Thailand in which shares will be priced at 142 baht/share ($4.63/share) which is 7.2% lower than its Friday (Dec. 7) price of 153 baht. The 650 million shares will be sold to its parent PTT Plc and existing shareholders. Moreover, PTT has set out on an ambitious four year $11 billion investment plan through which it seeks to increase its operations in Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Myanmar, Oman and Vietnam. PTT has significant representation in MSCI Thailand Index Fund ETF (NYSEMKT: THD).
PTT, which is 60% owned by the government, has a 65% stake in PTTEP. Its primary objective is to satisfy the increasing fuel demands of the Thai economy. The company also owns a 45.27% stake in Singapore's coal company Sakari Resources and has made a $959 million offer to purchase the remaining shares.
Meanwhile, PTT is planning to build an enormous oil refinery in Nhon Hoi, Vietnam, which would rank among the five biggest in the Asia Pacific region, by investing $28.7 billion, which would make PTT the biggest foreign investor in Vietnam, by far. Dung Quat is the only refinery that currently operates in Vietnam with a capacity of 135,000 bpd which is expected to increase to 240,000 bpd in the next five years. PTT's plan will produce a refinery that is five times as big as Dung Quat is currently with daily production approaching 660,000 barrels. The country's own demand is around 400,000 bpd. With PTT's plans, Vietnam could end up with surplus refined petroleum for the first time in its history. Vietnam has moved from being a net exporter of oil to an importer as its production has fallen off its peak and has settled near 350,000 bpd.
Without significant reinvestment and exploration, Vietnam's production is scheduled to drop to around 150,000 barrels per day by 2020.
PTT has not made any commitment yet as the massive scale of the project requires extensive groundwork and participation with the country's central as well as provincial government. Vietnam has its own ambitious objective to increase its refined oil capacity to 25 million – 35 million tons by 2020 through construction of four other refineries and through PTT's investment, the target could be achieved before the deadline.
Vietnam is currently working on the Nghi Son refinery project, the country's second refinery with a capacity of 200,000 bpd. The Kuwait Petroleum International Co and Japan's third biggest refiner Idemitsu Kosan own 35.1% each of the Nghi Son refinery. Idemitsu Kosan is reportedly renegotiating its terms. Other partners include PetroVietnam with 25.1% stake and Japan's Mitsui Chemicals with 4.7% stake. PetroVietnam and the country's other listed companies are represented in Market Vectors Vietnam ETF (NYSEMKT: VNM). That PetroVietnam only has a 25% stake in Nghi Son is significant and suggests that given the current internal issues with a number of Vietnamese SOE (State-Owned-Enterprises) that better terms are on the table for foreign investors, especially after Conoco-Phillips (NYSE: COP) sold its assets to Perenco earlier in the year.
Foreign investment into Vietnam has dried up in the past 2 years due to very unfavorable market conditions and investors have been holding off waiting for better terms and more reforms before committing to the second big wave of investment capital to the country.
In its previous financial results, PTTEP has posted a 21% increase in revenues and a 26% increase in EBITDA to $5 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, for the first three quarters of the current fiscal year.
Year to date, through the week ending December 7, THD and VNM have risen 30.9%, 12.71% respectively. THD has been one of the stars of 2012 among ASEAN nations with the SET Index rising 30.5% year to date. The VN Index rallied strongly in the 1st quarter, but the economy hit the wall as the State Bank's ultra-tight monetary policy finally began forcing liquidation of bad investments, while the Bank of Thailand held fast even after 2011's devastating floods and the economy has recovered well. PTT and its subsidiaries are moving aggressively to support the continued growth of the Thai economy with moves around the region, including Myanmar. These moves makes PTTEP – which trades on the Bangkok exchange and has an ADR that trades in the OTC market under the symbol PEXNY – an attractive long-term energy play in SE Asia as they attempt to triple their production. The Cove acquisition was dilutive to the share price, but the company now has access to the massive gas reserves off the coast of East Africa.

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
By a lie, a man...annihilates his dignity as a man.
Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.

Photographer Luke Gilford Captures the Emotionally Charged Musician's Soaring New Spirits
Radiant in a rose-emblazed shirt and silk kimono, Perfume Genius, AKA Mike Hadreas, is haloed against the backdrop of a New York skyline in photographer Luke Gilford's double-exposed portraits. First writing music after leaving New York to return to his mother's place in Washington State, Hadreas garnered a cult internet following and critical acclaim through his freshman effort, Learning. His second album, Put Your Back N 2 It, released next Monday, sees the singer-songwriter resurface with newfound confidence and poise shining through his hauntingly emotional piano-led ballads. "Some writer described him as a Hollywood starlet trapped in a twink's body," offers Gilford. "Usually on shoots I'm trying to reel myself in from getting too weird but Mike actually embraces that weirdness and totally runs with it, wanting to push things even further. More strange, more funny, more fucked up. It's surprising but kind of delightful." As well as making the album art for both records, Hadreas creates his own homemade videos by repurposing fetish films and vintage Russian cartoons, and recently hit the news after a 16-second advert for the new album––featuring him topless and embracing porn actor Arpad Miklos––was controversially banned from YouTube. Here the Seattle-based rising star opens up on bar life ennui, stepping up to the plate and dissecting asphyxiation films.
What do you like to do when you come back to visit New York?
I like to go shopping. There isn't a Topman in Seattle. You can't really find anything. It's all Southwestern prints and TexMex specials.
Where does the name Perfume Genius come from?
You know the book Perfume? And the movie was really bad? I was watching it with a friend and she kept calling the main character the "perfume genius." When I was starting out that was the first thing that came to mind. I didn't think about it much. To be honest, if I knew it was going to stick I probably would have thought more about it. I like the way it looks, the words, the letters, but some people think it is a ridiculous name.
Being sober now, are you going out at all?
No. I'm starting to figure it out after I stopped drinking. It gets really old to have a couple of diet cokes and be in a bar that is really loud. I used to spend, like, 20 hours in stank-ass bars. I go to shows, but mostly I stay at home.
As a title, Put Your Back N 2 It arouses different expectations than Learning. Is there a new personality to this record?
There is. I wanted to step up. I'm into the bravery part of the title, talking about things that are tough. If you're sensitive and people think you are wimpy, that pisses me off. I think you can be tough and brave and gentle at the same time.
How do you find the source material in your videos and collages?
I know exactly what I want a song to sound like or an image to look like and then I'll do all this manic research to try to find it. It's funny because my boyfriend notices my behavior now. He'll come home and be like, "What are you doing?" I'll have fetish videos playing on mute, silently watching footage of people trying not to breathe, or be reading some autopsy book. Maybe it's helpful that I don't think about it too much.

GRAND CHUTE, WI (LEARFIELD-WSAU) Linfield of Oregon won its first N-C-A-A Division-Three baseball title with a 4-to-1 victory over Southern Maine yesterday at Fox Cities Stadium near Appleton.
Chris Haddeland pitched a complete game for his school-record 15th win of the season. He gave up a run on eight hits, with three walks and five strikeouts. Linfield won the game with a four-run rally in the fourth inning. A squeeze bunt from Kyle Chamberlain brought home the winning run.
Linfield finished at 42-and-8, with its first national baseball crown since 1971 when it was in the N-A-I-A. Ithaca took third place, after losing to Southern Maine earlier yesterday by a 5-to-4 verdict in 13 innings. U-W Stevens Point placed fourth, after being eliminated on Sunday.

National Day of Action coming up
The National Day of Action is Sept. 30 and local emergency management leaders are advising the community to be prepared for potential disasters throughout the year. (September 26, 2014, Page 1)
Ready for any threat
Both the city and the county are updating their hazard mitigation plans which are required to be reevaluated every five years. Hazards include floods, tornadoes and man made threats. (September 17, 2014, Page 1)
Fawn increase due to mild winter
Oxford Emergency Management Coordinator Jimmy Allgood said a warm, mild winter has increased fawn births inside the city limits and is encouraging property owners to continue using deer deterrent efforts. (July 25, 2012, Page 1)
City gets grant for center
Oxford will receive the only FEMA grant funding this year for $750,000 to build an emergency management center on Molly Barr Road. (August 29, 2011, Page 1A)
Being prepared
The city of Oxford is hoping to be awarded a $750,000 grant from FEMA toward the construction of an emergency operations center. (June 8, 2011, Page 1A)
Good marks for storm response
With Sunday's snow fall being the most this area has seen at one time in more than 20 years, city and county officials have reviewed how they responded and decided their crews did a fine job overall. (January 12, 2011, Page 1A, 10A)
Winter storm packs wallop
Oxford and Lafayette County residents woke up to a winter wonderland this morning, after a winter storm dumped close to 9 inches in some parts of the community. (more…) (January 10, 2011, Page 1)
Is snow headed our way?
City and county crews are gearing up to prepare for what could be the worst snow storm since 1988, according to the National Weather Service..
Snow is expected to move into the area around Sunday afternoon, with it getting increasingly heavy after 6 p.m., said meteorologist Ryan Husted with the National Weather Service. About 3 to 5 inches of snow are expected, however, Husted said if snow bands settle on top of Oxford, more than 6 inches could fall in the LOU area. (January 7, 2011, Page 1A)
Oxford spared icy roads
With dozens of schools closing in neighboring north Mississippi counties due to icy roadways and two weather-related deaths reported this morning, Lafayette County was spared the worst of the dangerous wintry mix this morning. Lafayette County Road Manager Jerry Haynie and his road crew took to the roads at 5 this morning checking for icy accumulations on county roads.
The temperature hung around 32 degrees this morning, causing some icy patches to form on local roads, but not enough to cause traffic problems in Oxford and Lafayette County. The Mississippi Department of Transportation noted bridges in Lafayette County were starting to ice over at 7 this morning on its website, wwwgomdot.com. (December 15, 2010, Page 1A)
Worst of storm misses Lafayette County
A strong storm cell that wreaked havoc in some parts of Mississippi took it easier on Lafayette County, according to emergency management officials.
No local reports have been made of damage due to the high winds associated with Monday night's storm, said Oxford Emergency Coordinator Jimmy Allgood.
In Lafayette County, Emergency Coordinator David Shaw said his office received a few reports of some trees being blown down. (November 30, 2010, Page 1)
