"March Madness" is one of the most exciting times of the year in sports.
The basketball wackiness tipped off the at high school level this week with the region tournaments. Here is one shocker out of Henry County:
Ola High, which is only in its fourth year of varsity basketball, upset Jonesboro 53-49 to earn its first trip to the state tournament. Playoffs, baby! This is a school that won only six games in its first two seasons. They don't have a player taller than 6-foot-2 on this year's roster.
How did Ola do it? They hit some clutch buckets early, including a pair of deeeeeeeep 3-pointers in the first quarter by Thomas Werner during a 13-0 run ("He was at least 10 feet behind the 3-point line … seriously," said coach Curt Miller). That got Jonesboro out of the zone defense. Meanwhile, Ola switched up its own defensive schemes, playing primarily man-to-man with strong backside help. It forced Jonesboro into making mistakes.
When the final buzzer sounded, "We were like little kids at Christmas time," Miller said. "After you always hear you will never make it, our guys were tired of hearing that … There were so many people that texted or called me to congratulate us. It was really awesome."
Which upsets are you predicting this week? Which high school team will shock the world? Please post below.

You guys should take notes on covering high school basketball from Chicago Sun-Times newspaper. The AJC coverage of high school basketball is horrible.

With all the excitement, why can't anyone find a posted schdule anywhere? Not in the AJC, not on the GHA website (they list the regional tournaments starting next week), not on school websites – frustrating and inexcusable!

I have been saying all year that the ajc coverage of high school basketball is horrible. We have to depend on bloggers to get scores and schedules. I gave up a month ago I started keeping up with my home state TX because the Houston Chronicle lays it out right in front of you. You can look up any team and any player. Thumbs down ajc.

As a lifelong Georgian, I can safely say that this has been some of
the worst roundball reporting I have ever seen. No tournament scores
have been posted and the schedules listed noted only a few games.
I have been checking scores thru gasports.com.
C'mon guys, get with it – a high school student writing for his school
paper can do better !!
On the positive side, at least Terrence Moore, AKA Clarence Bore,
is gone, so we have one thing to be thankful for.

Thanks much nysouth – where can we find info for the girls side? I agree with all the sentiments regarding the AJC's incredibly abysmal coverage of HS hoops. And yes, I'm a HS football fan as well.
February 18th, 2010
10:35 am
I am disappointed in the high school basketball coverage as well. In the past, we were able to click on the high school link, then go to specific high schools for information. Now it is horrible. It does our kids a disservice when during basketball season, deep into the season mind you, that we see football photos, football coverage. Sure, it is fantastic to hear about the football signings, and the stories behind them. However, we have some terrific stories, and/or footage from this baskteball season as well. For instance, on Tuesday evening in Clayton County, Jonesboro High School gymnasium to be precise, I witnessed what could easily be considered the best high school basketball game ever. Mundy's Mill High played Riverdale High School (Girls) to close out the regular season. In a nutshell, Riverdale led by as much as 25 points at one stretch. In fact, the lead was 16 +/- with less than 5 minutes or so left. What a comeback by Mundy's Mill. They camme all the way back to win! Mundy's Mill had great contribution from several players, but was lead by the school's all-time leading scorer (Tandrea High) who scored 36 points. What a great senior night!
Besides having to play at a neutral site because of security reasons, this was a terrific way to perform on Senior Night! Congratulations to the Mundy's Mill Lady Tigers, as well as the Riverdale Lady Raiders! Great game!
Unfortunately there was no coverage the following day! What a shame!
Enough about football. Give our kids the attention they deserve!
February 18th, 2010
10:55 am
If it wasn't for the bloggers, we wouldn't know that Pope beat Alpharetta to go on to the next round or that there was a great game at Jonesboro or even what the regional schedule looks like this coming week. I have to agree with Big Rome, the kids playing today and this weekend should be acknowledge just as much as the kids during football season. They had there day, give these kids theirs.

Thanks jackrichey for providing the Region 6AAAAA Boys tournament bracket. Without your posting I would never have been able to find a schedule, certainly not in the AJC. They continue to be the worst as far as providing coverage of the ongoing Region BB tournaments. We go through this same crap every year. When are they going to wake and provide some coverage of these tournaments. After all, they determine who advances to the state tournament. Of course the next big question is: Will they tell us where, when and who regarding the first few rounds of the state tournament?
February 18th, 2010
3:35 pm
yes yes yes!!! I have been complaining about bball coverage all year. thought when almighty football season was over it would improve. WRONG. This is a legitimate HS bball hotbed – one of the top 5 in the country. there are probably 6 or 7 teams that can legitimately win state in AAAAA – four from region 6! D1 talent is littered all over this landscape. This coverage would be understandable in, say, Knoxville, TN. But ATL?? AJC you FAIL!
February 18th, 2010
3:38 pm
The AJC is never going to do anything about this because look at all the information that all of us just posted for free. As long as they can depend on people like us, why would they pay someone to write it for publication in the paper?
I've written e-mails and letters to the AJC editors about the lack of HS BB coverage for the past two years and have gotten all of one reply and it was the same old excuses, we only have so many reporters, budget cuts, etc., etc. I've challenged them to explain why each HS football game gets a recap and we can't even get the AJC to publish the BB scores with team records and high scorers for each team. Of course I never received an answer.
Until aomebody decides to challenge the AJC as a daily paper, I'm afraid we are stuck with what we have. Yes, we could all cancel our subscriptions, but how would that solve the problem?
February 18th, 2010
6:16 pm
Hey guys…quit being angry about the lack of basketball coverage. It is obvious that ajc will not cover basketball the way that we expect it to be covered. So do like we have done and start your own team blog. later we will be able to then link the blog and have the coverage which we think we deserve and want to have.

Good idea, 3 Straight. I think next year I will start a Milton Blog. If we can get about 10 or so blogs linked, maybe we can start a good network that will spread. Lets keep in touch thru this sorry AJC site until we can take flight on our own. No offense to you Todd. I like your writing. You obviously don't get the support you need – and probably want.
BTW, went to the Milton-Walton game tonight. Miltonb won by about 15. Very tight game first half. See-saw battle, Milton led by 2 at half. Harrow played a great game (25 pts), but Milton had too much at all five spots for them. Fisrt time I have seem Harrow. Real deal. He can play in the ACC, Ithink, despite his size. Nolte had a monster game for Milton. 27 pts,10 boards. He kept sticking a dagger in Walton every time they tried to take a lead.
I left after the 1st quarter of the 2nd game Wheeler/Roswell. Painful. 22-4 at one point. So, Wheeler/Milton rematch Sat night at Campbell. Should be a heavy scene. Anybody got the scores from the Centenniel side of the bracket tonite? How about the Norcross region?

ive seen both wheeler walton games and pretty much the same from my perspective…harrow is good and can score like crazy, but they are just simply below average at best at every other postition on the floor..i missed the first milton wheeler game but i am hoping to make this one….unless i am wrong i think campbells gym is on the small side, i hope to be corrected by someone with more knowledge than me, last year was nice cause alpharetta was a big gym, but i think alot of people will be shut out at campbells gym

WheelerFan #2 – Campbell gym is small. about the same as Wheeler gym. Maybe a little more capacity b/c of seats on one end. I was at Wheeler/Milton game several weeks ago. Barely got in. worth sitting cramped on the floor in corner. Wheeler played great. Milton was a little off, but mostly Wheeler caused that. Had home crowd rockin. Milton was without Nolte though. This should be crazy good.

BTW….how's that, "Mount Vernon" campus doing up there? DB's looking for a ring for that thumb.
It's always clear which 2 Regions, regardless of classification, are the best in the state. Region 6, both 5A & 4A, are head and shoulders above all the others. The 5th place team in either one of those could win (this is not scientific) 60% of the remaining regions in the state….IMO

AGREE about the coverage — it's impossible to find the scores; is the AJC even paying attention and/or publishing the scores?!
February 19th, 2010
4:20 pm
Yeah Doc Hoop. DB definitely trying for more hardware. He's sweatin bullets now though. His team has been de-mystified after the wheeler and Centenniel losses. Not as much (dignified) swagger. I do think they are the best when they have that rhythm going. Royal needs to be more focused. He looks disinterested at times. Dai-Jon Parker is the best athlete I have seen on a HS bballcourt – grace, speed, quickness, strength, vertical, shooting touch. Man, everything. If he couldn't hit the ocean from the beach (which he can), you'd still want him on the floor – the whole game. And Nolte. The quiet assasin. Kills with sneaky offensive putbacks, NBA 3 pointers, good passing, solid ball handling and better than you think defense. I think the Cameron Crazies will love him (K is looking at him I think). And Shannon Scott (charlie's son) is smooth as silk. good floor general. Not as lightning quick as White or Harrow, but steady as the day is long. I want him running my show every night.
Well, the weekend is here. I'll be at Campbell tomorrow night. BIG rematch with wheeler. I'm confident but nervous as an elephanr on a tight-rope (made that up). Good luck to all – except Wheeler haha.
everybody report in here tomorrow night. Next year we get our own blog.
Be safe.

Indianapolis gets another victory on Wednesday against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
It was a great day on the mound for the Tribe. Indians starter Graham Godfrey had a stellar performance allowing just four hits and a walk through 6 scoreless innings.
Indianapolis got the offense going in the 2nd inning with a two-run homer from catcher Lucas May. Then right fielder Andrew Lambo added a solo shot of his own in the 7th.
The Tribe allowed just one run from the Rail Riders in the 9th and with one out and the bases loaded the Indians turn a 4-6-3 double play.
Indianapolis beat Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 3-1.
The Indians will host game 3 against the Rail Riders tonight.

A Flood of Toys
After Hurricane Floyd caused the largest evacuation in U.S. history,
Drew Humphrey, 7, saw hundreds of homeless kids on TV. "What will those
kids play with now?" he worriedly asked his mom. Nothing, she replied
-- the North Carolina children lost everything in floodwaters. That's
when the West Virginia boy said he'd give them his toys, including his
favorite "big Batmobile planes" and whatever he got for his upcoming
eighth birthday. Enter the media: The Thomson newspaper group -- which
owns two West Virginia papers, The (Beckley) Register-Herald and the
Bluefield Daily Telegraph -- began writing about Drew. A $3,200 deluge
of toys and money came from West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina
and Kentucky. Four Wal-Marts set up collection sites. On the day of
Drew's birthday, a
police escort led two UPS trucks and a 12-vehicle convoy to where 300
kids waited for a share of 1,000 new toys. "It was like Christmas for
those kids," says newspaper editor Frank Sayles, who helped hand out
the toys. "And so many people greased the wheels, including the state
police, who helped us breeze through the tollbooths."
That day, Drew's family also toured flood-ravaged
areas. "Some people were crying," Drew says. "I prayed a little bit."
His family adopted nine flood families and still continue delivering
beds, socks, underwear and, yes, more toys. "We're just following up
on Drew's idea," says dad Ken. "It's made us think a lot. My wife and
myself, we're both teachers, but sometimes the kids, they teach us."

I got this in a Sephora favorites box, I wouldn't consider buying this myself.
The concept is pretty easy to grasp, you lay down a base, apply the fibers, and apply more black mascara over to hide the white fibers. I've found any black mascara works.
It does work and makes really long lashes, but I've found it to flake a lot easier and sometimes fibers fall on my cheek. Also, its quite irritating to my eyes and I find I have to wash it off asap. I have watery eyes, so I'd definitely not reccomend to anyone that also does.
All in all, if you're going to go through the effort of using this you're better off just buying real falsies. Surprisingly, real falsies are more comfortable than this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Honestly with this mascara, less really is more. I've heard awesome things AND horrible things as well. It all really depends on how you apply the mascara, I've done it to where my lashes look amazing and sometimes when I'm in a rush they look hideous. It is sticky and wet, BUT if you leave them alone, by the time you finish the rest of your make up, they've dried and look amazing. You don't want to apply too much of the mascara or the nylon fibers because that's when they start to look clumpy and gross. You just want to apply a light base coat, lightly add the fibers and again lightly add the top coat, that way they're not too sticky and wet, dry quick, and still look good. Over all I love this product, it made my lashes nice and full and I'd definitely recommend to this who KNOW how to do their make up

More reviews by simplieelegant
I was excited when I ordered this mascara but i was disappointed within minutes. I do not like this mascara and I really regret buying even after I watched all those reviews. First of all to me the application is really messy since the black mascara is really wet. I love that it gave me length but mascara fibers were way too flimsy. If i scratch near my eye and accidentally touch my eyelashes my eyelashes will like move like if i push my lashes to the left the lashes will move and stay on the left and it would be a pain to try to fix it. I don't like how wet it is.
By far the worst mascara I've ever used. And I've tried a lot of mascaras. It is super sticky. All day it stayed sticky and made my top lashes stick to my bottom lashes when I blinked. Taking it off was a nightmare. Had to rub it with makeup remover and it pulled out my lashes and came off in messy sticky clumps. I immediately threw this out!
It really does make you look like you have false lashes on. It makes your lashes thicker and fuller. I have gotten ask many times if i have falsies on. However it does not last all day., By the end of the night my lashes weren't as full and thick as they were when i first applied and my lashes became dry. I did try to add more coats after i saw that they weren't as full and i could not apply because my lashes were to flaky. I paid $35 for this mascara system. Which for me is a bit too pricey so I will not be purchasing again.

More reviews by LyricNicole1125
I don't understand why this has an average 2.7 rating.
This is my favorite mascara!
Not only does it make your lashes look longer, it makes them look thicker too!
Too Faced is a cruelty free brand so they will always win me over! I have sparse thin uncurlable asian lashes and this mascara helps to lengthen them but it does not help volumize them. You must learn how to use this correctly and once you do you'll love it. I only do one eye at a time: curl lashes, apply one coat of the black base, apply nylon fibers only to the tips of lashes, and immediately one coat of the black mascara. As other reviewers say it is sticky but you can't touch or move your lashes during the sticky phase. Let them dry, place a light coat of regular mascara on top and let dry again. Then I go in and lightly curl my lashes again. They make your lashes look NATURALLY long which I prefer so people aren't asking me if I have extensions or fake lashes on. I don't think the fibers work with regular mascara so you have to use the activating mascara. The only con to this for me is the expensive price.
My lashes felt sticky. Made them clump. Looks good with one coat (but more of a natural look just longer lashes) but since I wanted my lashes thicker, I tried to put on anther coat my lashes stuck together and looked weird. I'm going to keep trying to make this work. If I don't get it right by the next couple days I'll return it
Definetely not the HG of mascaras. Overall sticky texture. If not applied properly eyelashes clump and stick together. While it lengthens my lashes the overall appearance is CLUMPY! Difficult to remove. Would not buy again...and expensive to boot!
I am OBSESSED with this mascara. I haven't had any problems with my eyelashes coming out when I take it off or any other problems others have complained about! I am a cheerleader for a professional team and this is my must have for game day! I personally don't use it on my bottom lashes and have had some experience with stickiness but the base needs to be so the fibers stick. If you coat another type of mascara over it, it'll solve the stickiness issue. It lasts a long time and I will definitely buy this product again! I LOVE IT!

This is the home of Prof. Dr. Andrey Zheludev's Neutron Scattering and Magnetism Group in the Laboratory for Solid State Physics at ETH Zürich. AZ's personal and lepidoptera web pages are located elsewhere.
Our mission is fundamental experimental research in solid state physics, with a focus on collective quantum phenomena in materials, particularly on magnetism. Current research topics include criticality, phase transitions and disorder effects in quantum spin systems, complex helimagnetic structures, ferroelectrics and structural transitions, multiferroic materials and more. Our main tools are inelastic neutron scattering , neutron and X-ray diffraction, and muon spin rotation spectroscopy at user facilities in Switzerland and around the world. We also perform a variety of measurements in-house, such as calorimetry, magnetometry, X-ray diffraction, and optical spectroscopy. In addition, we synthesize and characterize many of our own samples.

The Supply Chain Unplugged
[From iSource Business, May 2001] The Home Depot hates static inventory. The Atlanta-based mega-store, with $38.4 billion in 1999 revenues, likes inventory to fly into its store and off its shelves without ever lying around in a warehouse. The company calls the strategy mobile inventory, and the glue holding it all together is wireless technology.
Although seemingly invisible, wireless technology is palpably poised to be the next killer app in supply chain management. Many diverse companies are using wireless applications hand-held devices that stream information to and from remote corporate databases in their inventory management plans. Once serious stumbling blocks like limited bandwidth, different technology protocols and privacy issues are surmounted, much broader wireless supply chain solutions are expected to take hold.
Imagine trucks, staged around major cities, that are filled with company merchandise, waiting to be alerted about immediate deliveries. Or procurement specialists notified the minute no, the second commodity and component prices budge an inch. What about packaged products that automatically tell corporate databases they have left or entered the warehouse? Or retail stores that know when a top customer, who is a size seven and loves black Manolo Blahnik shoes, has just walked through the doors? Wireless takes such musings and makes them real.
How does it pull this off? Well, in supply chain management, the seams between disparate processes are just as important as the processes themselves. Affixing those seams, however, has been a problem. Wireless can be the connecting technology, dictating the movement of goods from the raw material stage through to the end user. Each process sourcing, procurement, order processing, inventory management, logistics, warehousing and customer service can be accomplished via wireless communications, offering real-time decision making and mobility where none presently exists. The supply chain is ripe for wireless because it is very disconnected and, yet, very mobile, says Scott Sbihli, senior manager at Dynamis Solutions Inc., a Farmington Hills, Mich.-based Internet professional services firm. It's just the kind of situations wireless applications excel in.
Why Wireless?
Current promise aside, the unplugged supply chain still resides largely in the future. Techno-research gurus at such companies as Gartner Group predict wireless will be an integral part of the so-called Supranet, an uber-network of all networks, in which mobile, wireless data communications are plugged into the Internet and other communications networks, such as voice and data, television and computer. These heretofore independent networks will interact to drive unparalleled efficiencies in the supply chain. Wireless is the missing link in the Supranet, says Mark Margevicius, a Gartner research analyst in Cleveland, because it creates a thread of continuity in all these interactions.
Wireless devices remove the constraint of a fixed location for a terminal, enabling services to be based on the user's current location wherever that may be, Margevicius explains. Companies and customers will get products faster and most certainly at a cheaper cost because of inventory systems that get updated in real-time.
The use of wireless technology to access the Internet (via the Wireless Web) and integrate with company extranets, Intranets and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is just beginning. Impediments to growth are obvious, from the exasperatingly long time it often takes to connect to the Internet to the tiny screens on cell phones and PDAs (personal digital assistant devices), which limit messages to brief text. These shortcomings are bound to change, due to the immediacy, mobility and convenience of wireless devices literally forcing the technology to improve.
More than one million PDAs were sold in the United States in 1999, a 60 percent increase from the previous year, according to researchers at NPD Group, based in Port Washington, N.Y. An informal poll by this magazine of company willingness to use wireless devices for e-procurement needs indicates overwhelming interest, with 62.5 percent responding in the affirmative.
Some companies are already there. The Home Depot has used wireless technology in its inventory management system for three years. Store associates roam aisles armed with a penpad PC and scanner that alerts company servers when merchandise is low. The associates eyeball the shelves to determine what is needed and enter it into the computer, says Curtis Chambers, senior manager of information services. This information is then wirelessly routed for approval and dispatched as an EDI [Electronic Data Interchange] transmission to our suppliers.
The penpad PC, with software provided by Rockville, Md.-based MERANT Inc., informs associates how much merchandise should be on shelves, given current sales experience and market data. Despite these supply chain benefits, that's not the main reason why Home Depot went wireless. The idea was to find a way to keep our associates on the floor at all times to help customers, says David Pennington, Home Depot's IS manager. Previously, the associates would write down inventory requests on paper, walk back to store offices and transcribe the data into computers. Given the store's 50,000 SKU's, some associates must have been marathoners.
Inventive Inventory
Wireless technology is also finding a home inside the four walls of the warehouse. As supplies and products arrive at the door, the facts about them can be wirelessly communicated to company inventory management systems. The earlier companies can capture information about shipments and communicate it, the better they can plan, says Michael Jakab, vice president of business development at Descartes Systems Group, a Waterloo, Ontario-based supply chain management company.

Just when you thought you'd heard the last about the twerking phenomenon for a while, three women went over the top in shaking their money makers in a parking lot at Beaverton City Hall in Beaverton, Ore. on the afternoon of April 28, and ended up getting arrested in what was described as an impromptu dance party that got totally out of hand. It didn't help that in addition to creating a scene while at City Hall, the three ladies all were found in possession of a variety of drugs.
Oregon Live reported the Beaverton Police as saying that the three young women were "twerking" in the Beaverton City Hall parking lot; but the party didn't stop with the dance move made infamous by Miley Cyrus. The women also exposed their genitals and videotaped their gyrations.
The ladies were at City Hall on Monday afternoon because one of them had to go to municipal court to "pay a fine for a warrant," and was accompanied by her two girlfriends. After the women left the building, the party in the parking lot got underway.
Police say that one of the women "lifted her skirt and urinated between two cars," prompting an employee inside City Hall to call police Monday afternoon around 3:30 p.m. Witnesses on the scene confirmed that the terrible threesome were twerking in front of the building's windows and exposing themselves to people in the immediate area, while one of the three women filmed the other two with her cellphone.
The ladies drove off, but only made it a few blocks away from City Hall before the Beaverton Police caught up with them. KATU added that after police searched their car, they arrested Brittany Medak, 20, of Vancouver, Christie Valazquez Coura, 20, of Vancouver and Leokham Yothsombath, 22, of Portland, after finding the women were holding a variety of drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and prescription drugs.
The women are now face a variety of charges, including "disorderly conduct, offensive littering, tampering with drug records, possession of prescription drugs schedule 4 and possession of marijuana," according to KPTV. The party girls were transported to the Washington County Jail.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — The City of Las Cruces received capital outlay funding for water and waste water infrastructure improvements from the State of New Mexico.
The utilities department received more than $3 million to replace four older wells and the remaining funds will extend city waste water services to parts of the East Mesa currently on septic systems.
The money is part of a request Governor Susana Martinez made to the state legislature to fund water infrastructure improvements statewide.
Initially Martinez asked for about $112 million for water infrastructure but the state legislature only approved $89 million.
Las Cruces received a total of more than $7 million from the state for multiple projects ranging from street lights to funding for a women's veterans memorial.

Logan Forsythe gave the Rays a three-run cushion with a two-run, first-inning single and a fourth-inning homer, but Jeremy Hellickson ran into trouble in the fifth inning as the White Sox netted a 4-3 victory Friday night at Tropicana Field, officially eliminating the Rays from Wild Card contention.
9/19/2014 | No postseason, but Rays show plenty of fight
The Rays left Spring Training with the look of a champion, but injuries to their starting rotation led to a taxed-out bullpen and Tampa Bay ended up being a postseason outsider in 2014 with their official elimination Friday.
9/19/2014 | Field, Snell among Rays' Minor League award winners
The Rays handed out their Minor League awards before Friday night's game at Tropicana Field, with outfielder Johnny Field named Player of the Year and left-hander Blake Snell the organization's Pitcher of the Year.

9/18/2014 | Konerko, White Sox stop at the Trop to face Rays
Paul Konerko leads his White Sox into Tropicana Field for the start of a three-game series against the Rays on Friday. Jose Quintana will square off opposite Jeremy Hellickson in the series opener.
9/17/2014 | Wil climber: Myers makes clutch, leaping catch
Wil Myers showed some ups in the Rays' 3-2 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday night. The Rays' right fielder made a key play in the sixth that helped Alex Cobb escape a bases-loaded jam with just one run scoring to keep the game interesting.
9/17/2014 | Call quickly overturned after Rays' challenge
The Rays challenged a call in the eighth inning Wednesday night and won before falling to the Yankees, 3-2, in the series finale at Tropicana Field.
9/17/2014 | Command eludes Cobb as Rays miss out on sweep
Alex Cobb didn't come close to a no-hitter this time around. He didn't continue his streak of allowing two runs or fewer, either, or carry the Rays to a series sweep of the Yankees in the clubs' final meeting of the season. No, Cobb's last start at Tropicana Field in 2014 was a pedestrian 3-2 loss to New York on Wednesday night.
9/17/2014 | Reflections: Jeter a part of Rays' own stories
The Rays have been there for Derek Jeter's moments, of course. There've been plenty over his 20-year MLB career -- like when he hammered a home run off Tampa Bay ace David Price for his 3,000th hit. But Jeter's been there for the Rays' moments, too.
9/16/2014 | Zimmer jersey highlights Rays' Jeter tribute

9/15/2014 | Zobrist's walk-off hit in ninth plates game's lone run
The Rays' offense waited until the last minute to produce, and when they did, one run was enough in a 1-0 walk-off win over the Yankees on Monday night at Tropicana Field. With two outs in the ninth and the bases loaded, Ben Zobrist lined a single to right field to win it.
9/15/2014 | Rays to honor Jeter before tonight's game at The Trop

9/14/2014 | Rays answer Jays' comeback with 10-inning win
If the Rays aren't going to make the playoffs, they can ruin the chances of other teams. That seems to be the Rays' mantra heading into the final stretch of the season. Sunday afternoon's 6-5 Rays win over the Blue Jays in 10 innings certainly didn't help the Blue Jays' cause.
9/14/2014 | Two challenges go Blue Jays' way in loss to Rays

9/14/2014 | Colome among three Durham callups
Following Triple-A Durham's 4-1 loss to Pawtucket in the International League Championship game on Saturday night, the Rays opted to add three players from Durham for Monday's game: Right-hander Alex Colome, infielder Nick Franklin, and left-hander C.J. Riefenhauser.
9/14/2014 | Kiermaier's manufactured run highlights his hustle

1 (12 pound)
fresh goose
2 stalks
4 slices
French bread
1 cup
boiling water
1 cup
dry white wine
1/4 cup
tawny port wine
1/3 cup
all-purpose flour
3 cups
chicken broth
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
I rate this based on the extensive and detailed recipe. I have been roasting a goose for last 40 years and the simple European recipe is still the best. Only salt and caraway rubbed inside and outside. Never pick the skin until the last 30-40 minutes stage of roasting. It holds the precious juices that will come out for the sauce you keep. You collect the clear fat( very precious stuff for roux and even medicinal purpose) every 30 minutes. After you finally prick the meat you add broth from the neck and giblets. (You can fry the liver on the goose fat for the pate).Goose is not done ,until the legs move freely when pushed. Rule is the same as with the rotisserie roasting: do not rush to get the color on the skin. It will get golden when it's time comes!
Taking all other reviews into account, I had the confidence that I would make a perfect goose my very first time. I followed the very clear instructions step by step. I removed my goose from the oven as soon as the thermometer registered 80°C, actually closer to 90°C and I was worried that I had overcooked. It turned out that the goose had a fatty, wobbly layer all around that it was hard to get a grip on it with my teeth. No crispy skin and the meat was not dry. Possibly I should've used a different heat setting in my oven other than 3D-fan hot air. Perhaps goose is just not my thing.

I served this meal on Christmas Eve to my typically Midwestern family. They couldn't believe how juicy the goose was without being greasy, and my mom loved the gravy the best! I did turn the goose over for about 20 minutes to get it brown all over, but I will use this recipe again!
Excellent recipe, but 1 point to make. Use the fat removed prior to cooking by making goose-fat pastry. For the pastry: remove the large, visible chunks of fat you'll see inside the raw goose. They are obvious. Put them in a pan with some cold water and heat very slowly until melted. Cool, then chill in the fridge. Lift off the fat; freeze it. For ordinary shortcrust pastry use 2oz of fat to 7oz of flour, plus salt as usual. Grate the frozen fat into the flour, rubbing in in the normal way, then binding with very cold water. Rest, then use. PS I always add some lemon juice before the cold water.
(Goose fat has a very low boiling point, so it has to be frozen to make pastry).
THe meat was excellent and so was the gravy, but there was almost no meat on the goose. Will make similar gravy again, but not the goose.
If ANYONE is silly enough to discard goose fat, please discard it my way. The fat from 1 goose (rendered and frozen) will last even a New Orleans cook for a year. It yields the most incredible mouth feel and tase to any dish using oil, and you can't imagine the superior quality of a goose fat roux. The port and sherry are great flavors with this, and adding fresh tarragon makes it even more out of this world. P.S. Way to go.....Saints are 13-0!!!! Laissez les bon temps roulle!!!!!
This is a great recipe for any time of year, and the gravy is to die for. This is a keeper,thnks.
The goose was great. Everyone loved it. It was very moist and the gravy was awesome! I would make this again.

Going toeside in El Faro.
Beautiful view from the Mijas mountain… You can see Benalmadena (on the right) and Malaga (on the left). That cloud is killing it :)
We woke up in a random "longboard zone". Too bad it's a rainy day.
After spending around 20 days in a row in Fuengirola it was time to make a getaway to mountains. We spent the night by this amazing lake in mountains near Malaga.
Another set is down.
Relaxed slackline session @ Elviria
Happy times at yesterday's session at Doping! Super dooper!
Friday, 27th December
The weather today was crazy hot so we decided to make it a freeride day with Erik and Tintin the dog! We warmed up at a nice chill hill and later hit this beauty!
Doping; One of "hidden jewels" of Costa del Sol. Very good down :)
Welcome to the Fuengirola Golf Club motherfucker! Nadia skating this ruff road with an awesome view!
The next day we headed further down south towards San Jose in the natural park Cabo de Gata. When we arrived we immediately started looking for a tapas place because it was Mihaels's birthday and our 4-year anniversary! So yeah, happy us <3! When we got the first beer and tapas our expectations were shattered because the first tapas was horrible - so we tried again and again and again and after the last beer the tapas was good!
After that we went to check out the lighthouse in Cabo de Gata, a nice place but too windy for us. The next stop was supposed to be Almeria, but as we checked our Facebook for any new messages from the longboarders in Almeria, we found no reply from the guys so we continued on our rout.
We ended up near Nerja in Torrox Costa! Luckly we found the perfect spot next to the beach with water and friendly people. As we checked google maps for new spots to skate we found a few skatable places right next to our parking lot! After skating the first one Nadia's tooth started hurting and we had to go to the nearest dentist to take it out :( In the next days recovering she took the time to film the local spots.
We stayed in Torrox Costa for 11 days one reason for that was good skate spots and the next is free WiFi - our fresh friend from Greece gave us the password for the wifi in the nearest closed restaurant. Thank you!
We left Torrox Costa with good memories and we know we're going back soon.

La Bateria de Atalayon
When we left Calp, our journey took us through Torevieja, passed Cartagena to La Azohia, a qiuet and peacefull village with a few campers parked next to the sea. We explored the area to find the perfect spot to spend the night when we randomly found a vending machine with beer and Coca Cola. After getting refeshments we went up to La Bateria De Atalayon. It was night and the road was narrow and we were so excited about the view, that we drove slowly to the top. After spending the night we took a long walk to see the sights La Bateria has to offer. The most beautifull place we found so far is an abandoned military fort (we don't know much about it because all the signs were in Spanish haha). I must say this was the first 'touristy' thing we did and you figured, we took a lot of photos so check them out!
Finally another edit from Spain! Check it out and share it if you like it! Big thanks goes to Nadia, Stefano and David for shooting <3

While the New York Rangers continue to battle tooth and nail on the ice for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, there's one battle off the ice that they appear to be way ahead of the competition.
Forbes.com released their list of the best dressed athletes and two Rangers made the cut - forward Sean Avery and goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.
The stylish duo were the only NHL players that made the list of 15 athletes that included the likes of NBA poster boys LeBron James and Dwayne Wade, pin-up quarterback Tom Brady and soccer superstar David Beckham.
Lundqvist says the honour was a pleasant surprise.
"I'll put up the article in the locker room to feel good about myself," the stylish Swedish netminder told TSN. "It's fun."
Lundqvist admits that his teammates don't necessarily share his fashion sense, but he's trying his best to open their eyes to the concept of dressing well.
"This team is a lot about comfort," said Lundqvist. "They show up at the rink in soft sweat pants and T-shirts. I try to get them in shirts and nice coats maybe game days it works, but not practice days so we have a couple more steps to go."
He does say that the Rangers fashion sense in general has improved during his stint in New York.
"It's been a process but a lot of the guys have improved over the years. It's good to see."
When asked to compare his style to Avery's, Lundqvist said his upbringing in Sweden had a lot to do with his personal style but he admits that the brash forward has a distinct look.
"Maybe I'm a little bit more European in my style," said Lundqvist. "More tight fitted jeans and shirts and boots. He's got good style I have to give them that."
Avery made headlines two years ago when he took a summer internship at Vogue magazine. The self-confessed clothes horse, who also writes a style column for AskMen.com, told People Magazine at the time how much he enjoyed the experience of working in the fashion industry.
"I was surrounded by some of the greatest minds in American fashion and in the world," Avery said.
The Rangers hope to be able to translate their off-ice flair to the rink on Thursday night when they look to rebound against the Senators in Ottawa.

Guinness World Records
World's Most Expensive Cocktail Costs Almost $9,000! [VIDEO]
I'm an adult; and as such, I enjoy the occasional adult beverage. Living in Fort Collins, I pretty much have to love beer; and trust me, I do. I give spirits their fair shake as well, though. The fanciest I usually get in terms of cocktails is a Manhattan; but the cocktail in this story makes even the swankiest Manhattan look like a Shirley Temple.

If you've been following my posts for any reasonable amount of time, you know I love Guinness World Records. And I especially love the more obscure ones! So of course I had to share (what could be) the world's largest tennis racket with you! What kind of person would I be if I didn't? "Normal," you say? But that's no fun...

Dear Members,
During our recent Board of Directors (BOD) elections, we made a mistake.
As you may know, not long ago the BOD created a D.C. Advocacy Director position to focus on advocacy opportunities in the District of Columbia. At that time, the BOD selected Joel Gwadz to fill that position. However, we neglected to update our Club Rules to reflect this new position, and during this past election, we mistakenly omitted it from our list of BOD positions to be filled. So, in fairness to Joel and to the rest of the club, we are running a separate election to officially fill this position.
Here's how it will work: Nominations will be accepted for five days, from January 26 through January 30. An election poll will be opened in the Member Area of the forum on February 1 and will remain open through February 5. All nominations will be posted for member review in the election poll. After the voting concludes, we'll tally the votes and make an official announcement of our new D.C. Advocacy Director.
Nominations may be submitted by e-mail to email@example.com. Nominations should include a short bio, a statement of the candidate's intention for the position, and the candidate's MORE forum user name. More information about MORE's election rules and processes can be found here: http://www.more-mtb.org/forum/showpost.php?p=236657&postcount=2
We apologize for this oversight and for any confusion it may have caused. The BOD is committed to being as open and fair in our operations and communications as possible, and in this case, we believe that a special election is the best way to achieve that fairness.
Frank Raiti
Vice President, MORE

As you know we are big advocates of 'me-time' at MTAM. We believe a happy mum means a happy child and what more could result in a happy mum than a bit of relaxation and pampering?! So, we were delighted when the lovely Dina (@KensingtonMums) invited us to a pamper morning she was hosting at the wonderful Neal's Yard in Kensington.
We knew we could expect a massage and perhaps a makeover but what we got was so much more! After arriving a little late – me because public transport decided to attempt to sabotage my precious me-time and Ruth because she tends to have to waddle at a snail's pace these days being only 4 weeks away from the bump's arrival! However, we got there in the end and the setting of the lovely little Neal's Yard shop on Kensington Church street immediately made you feel relaxed – not only because of the light airy feel to the room but also due to the wonderful aromas that filled the room and the fact that a cup of delicious herbal tea was served that we were told was especially brewed to relax. That and the delicious nibbles and I'd have been happy chatting, nibbling and supping and leaving feeling perfectly relaxed due to a few precious hours of child-free time. But, again there was so much more.
We had our own team of specialists which included Sam who literally gave us a lesson in herbal remedies that were specifically and particularly beneficial to babies, children and mums. The child products mainly functioned to soothe, calm and protect whereas the mum ones were created to de-stress, relax and pamper. It was so interesting to learn about the strength, power and healing properties Mother Nature provides. We got to sniff, taste and test but then best of all, we all had a go at making our own natural product using the various bases and essential oils. We could 'make and take' a massage oil, shower gel, bath oil or body cream. It was so much fun and hugely satisfying concocting it!
In between the workshop sections we mingled and chatted and of course despite being 'mummy me-time' the talk somehow veered towards childbirth and child rearing but in a fun and supportive way. Throughout the morning we also took turns to have a makeover and/or a massage and I have to say the massage was amongst the best I've ever had and the practitioner spookily told me about myself just by feeling my back and neck muscles!
The Neal's Yard products really are wonderful and I'd highly recommend them and was hugely grateful to go home feeling relaxed, pampered and refreshed clutching my goodie bag and handmade massage oil. But, most of all it was a well run event where mums could get together and enjoy being women as well as mums and we just have to give a big thumbs up to that – So thank you Dina!

The Scout's Eye takes a look at the stop on the Redskins final offensive drive.
Jason Garrett and the offensive coaches did the best job they could managing the final minutes of that game to not only get a lead but take time off that clock. After an Illegal Block Above-the-Waist penalty on the kickoff return puts the Redskins on their own 13, Monte Kiffin and his defense, fresh off a stop on the previous drive, head back out on the field with 1:01 on the clock.
Kyle Shanahan sends his "11" personnel on the field with 3rddown back, Roy Helu as the running back. Kiffin counters with his nickel personnel in hopes to match. Pre snap, Cousins motions Helu wide to the left over
The Redskins are now facing a 2nd – 6 from their own 16. Shanahan sticks with the "11" personnel and does the same thing motioning Helu out of the backfield creating an empty set. Kiffin is still in his nickel but the adjust that he makes, is that he walks Church all the way outside to handle Helu and keeps Carr on Garcon out of the tight slot. It's a Cover "0" with
Now 3rd – 6. Redskins sticking with their "11" personnel, Cowboys still in nickel. Shanahan goes with a much tighter formation with Paulsen and Robinson on the left side with Garcon and Moss to the right. Helu is lined up in the backfield, next to Cousins on the right side. At the snap, Garcon sprints to his right with Carr in chase, Scandrick goes inside with Moss. Moore takes Robinson and Church is on Paulsen. On the route, Carr gets his hands on Garcon which actually throws him off balance. Cousins is trying to go in this direction without question. As Garcon regains his balance, he heads up the field with Carr on his hip. Garcon raises his hand like he wants the ball down the field, but instead Cousins throws it to the outside like he was expecting the comeback or the out at the sticks. Ball goes out of bounds, forcing a 4th down.
4th – 6. Shanahan has gone with his "11" personnel in the entire series and Kiffin has matched him with his nickel. With the play clock winding down, the Cowboys catch another huge break, Scandrick and Carter with their eye on the clock see it hit :00 begin to call for the penalty but the officials do not and the play is allowed to continue. At the snap, Scandrick runs with Garcon out of the left slot, Carr handles Moss wide left, with Moore on Robinson and Church still on Paulsen. Holloman takes Helu, who stays in to block, left of Cousins. Carr manages to get his left hand on the right shoulder of Moss to hold him up enough. Cousins is looking at him the entire time. Carr is in outstanding position the entire route leaving him no window to throw the ball in. The pass sails over the head of Moss incomplete. In the pocket,
For a defense that has struggled getting stops all year, this one couldn't have come at a better time with the season on the line.

Bathinda has emerged as a preferred destination for investment in the field of information technology owing to its strong telecom infrastructure, IT-compatible power policy, a spotless labor history and above all the quality of life in state.
Bathinda Computer Professional Association (BCPA ) is the fastest emerging IT association in Punjab. This association is a registered association of computer dealers of Bathinda. It was founded in the year 2001 and was registered with the Registrar of Societies in the year 2010. Over the years, the Bathinda market has grown by leaps and bounds.
With the cooperation of BCPA, many IT companies have held training sessions and meetings at Bathinda, although, the major IT needs are fulfilled by the neighboring tier-1 and 2 cities like Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Chandigarh.
Speaking on the potential of the market, Varinder K Bansal, president, BCPA and owner of Mascot Enterprises said, "In the last 3 years, the market potential has been improving with large refining companies entering the city, which has given several potential for the local IT partners to provide services locally. As of now, SOHO, army, and SMB are the major IT buyers. Seeing the expansion, major national distributors and vendors have started setting up their service support locally."
Compuage will be setting up its service center shortly in the city as well. The market promises sales of 1,000 units of PC market in a month, with brands like Dell, HP and Lenovo holding the major market share.
Recently, BCPA conducted its general house meeting. The main agenda of this meet was to make the dealers aware and stop Windows piracy. All the speakers emphasized on selling original Windows or Linux operating system as operating system.
With all the current business opportunity, Bathinda partners are keeping low hopes with this Diwali, Unlike every year, the sale of the IT products around the popular festival 'Vijaya Dasami' was quite disheartening. "By this time, people should have started purchasing. However, for unknown reasons, people have refrained themselves from purchasing. However, we are hoping that a couple of days before Diwali, the market will bounce back," concluded Bansal.

PLAYERS: Brandon Jennings, Mark Cuban, Steve Nash, Darren Collison
TEAMS: Milwaukee Bucks, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers
TEAMS: Milwaukee Bucks, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers
Brandon Jennings wants a max deal, and it seems as if the Milwaukee Bucks are not interested in paying him as such. ESPN Dallas is reporting that the Mavericks just might be interesting in paying Jennings top dollar. Sources tell ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the Mavs have a "level of interest" in Jennings if the Milwaukee Bucks make the restricted free agent-to-be point guard available before the Feb. 21 trade deadline. Jennings, 23, is averaging 18.5 points and 6.1 assists in his fourth NBA season. He arguably fits Mark Cuban's description given for potential trade targets: a young talent who would immediately be a top-three player on the Mavs' roster with the potential to develop into an All-Star. Cuban spoke Monday and would like a player comparable to Steve Nash in his prime. "I'll analogize it to Steve Nash," Cuban said Monday, speaking in generalities about the type of player the Mavs would target. "Whatever we saw in Nash and (Michael) Finleywith Donnie (Nelson]) back then, same type of thing. There's been lots of players we picked up over time that weren't All-Stars that turned into cornerstones. We'd take those. "They don't have to be proven. They'd have to be someone we think it's just a question of time or system or coaching or whatever." The Mavericks are not comfortable with tabbing Darren Collison as their point guard of the future. I believe Dallas sees Collison as more of sixth man or complimentary part at point guard.

Reading Rules and Tools
- Tuesday, January 13, 2004
How to Fix Mistakes
Many parents tell a child to "just sound it out," when their child comes to a word she doesn't know, or when she misreads a word. It is far better to give your child the word—but in two parts and have her put it together.
A child tends to slow down when she comes to a hard word. Or, she guesses and butchers the word. These can become bad habits and be difficult to break. Help your child fix a mistake by giving her the misread word in two parts, and have her put it together. Then, ask your child to reread the sentence, saying the word correctly. For example, let's say that your child misreads the word, perfect. Instead she says, "present."
Don't say, "That's wrong. You know this word. It's a spelling word!"
Instead, say to your child, "That word is per-fect. Put it together."
She says, "Perfect!"
You say, "Good. Reread the sentence, please."
She says, "The purple pig was perfect."
You say, "Good job!"
Use these great rules and tools of the trade to help your child learn to read better. Your child can even enjoy reading about how wee, little Zacchaeus grew in love and gave lots of money back to people. That's because Jesus was his new friend!

Global CREST challenges
...exciting new CREST awards
Global CREST challenges are based around Practical Action's work, which uses science and technology to address global issues such as energy, water and food. They give students a real insight into how science and technology can be used to tackle challenges faced by communities in the developing world, and how they can be part of the solution. These awards form part of the British Science Association's CREST award scheme.
The downloads below provide information on how to get started with the CREST awards and contain a wealth of information on the five different themes which will help your students begin their challenge. They include a number of different project ideas but your students can equally come up with their own. There are links to technical information used by real engineers and scientists in the field. Some of these are now available on the technical briefs area of our schools website, making them easier for students to access.
To view an example of the Global CREST challenges being used in a school go to Challenges in Schools.
At Practical Action we believe in technolgy justice... that everyone has a right to access the technologies they need to live a life they value, as long as that doesn't harm others now or in the future. By working on propjects inspired by our global CREST challenges we help your students will begin to believe that too and as a result join us in the fight against global poverty.
To help students understand technology justice in greater depth please consider using the interactive activities below

Tom Silverstein's post on Miss State Bulldogs | Latest updates on Sulia
M. Newhouse is the #Packers favorite to play LT but D. Sherrod is expected back for training camp if not sooner. McCarthy said this of Sherrod, the team's first-round pick in 2011, at the owners' meetings: "He's there everyday. He looks better every time I see him. I obviously haven't seen him since I've been down here. They're projecting probably training camp, so we'll know more when we get to OTAs. Hopefully, he can get out there in June and do something." http://goo.gl/yjTLI

JOBS Act Title III crowdfunding moves closer to reality
On 23 October 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) voted unanimously to propose Regulation Crowdfunding, the rules related to the offer and sale of securities through crowd-funded private offerings, as set forth in Title III of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act. FINRA then published its proposed rules governing the licensing and regulation of so-called 'funding portals', a new type of limited-purpose regulated intermediary solely for these offerings. Crowdfunding itself is not new. Websites such as Kickstarter and IndieGoGo help all sorts of businesses, organisations and people raise money through small individual contributions for an identifiable idea or business.
Until the JOBS Act, however, crowdfunding could not be used to offer or sell securities to the general public. Issuers and intermediaries relying on Regulation Crowdfunding expect to further democratise investing in start-ups, because any investor, whether or not accredited, may invest in these securities…

Slipper welcome back
Anglican Archbishop John Hepworth says he would welcome back his 'friend' Peter Slipper as a priest of the Traditional Anglican Communion. Howard Sattler spoke to National President of the Christian Democratic Party Fred Nile who said the notion of Mr Slipper preaching morals to the community is laughable.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The West Virginia Regional Technology Park Corp. has a new executive director and chief executive officer.
Rusty Kruzelock will assume the duties on Nov. 1. His appointment was approved by the Higher Education Policy Commission following an endorsement by the park's directors.
Kruzelock will oversee operations of the multi-tenant research, development and commercialization park in South Charleston. Kruzelock has extensive experience in research and development, most recently as president of a biotechnology company he co-founded.
He says he looks forward to helping bring new companies to the region.
The West Virginia Regional Technology Park is the newest research, education and technology campus in West Virginia's higher education system. The park was donated to the state in 2010 by The Dow Chemical Co. and deeded to the Higher Education Policy Commission.
