The Lady Canes lost to the Lady Wolves, 65-58, in Rome on Saturday.
Cartersville 68, Rome 36
The Cartersville boys hit six treys in the first quarter while taking a 24-6 lead. That lead was 37-19 at the half and grew to 51-26 after three quarters.
Coach Mike Tobin liked the effort by Cartersville as well as the result.
"We kept playing really hard," he said. "We came out shooting the ball really well."
Ryan Davis and A.J. Mosby each hit a trey against Rome, and Corey Tobin brushed through the nets with four 3-pointers in the early going.
"We had nine field goals in the first quarter and six of them were 3's," Mike Tobin said.
The Canes were 8 of 15 from the 3-point line at the end of the game, with Davis and Mosby each picking up a trey.
Both teams scored 13 points in the second quarter.
The Canes turned it up a notch defensively in the second half.
"In the second half we played solid defense and gave up 17 points," Mike Tobin said.
He said the combination of hot shooting and tough defensive play worked well.
"I was really pleased," he said. "We played very good team ball and we distributed the ball well. Everyone did a good job. It was pretty good for our first game."
He singled out Dalven Penn for his play. "I thought Dalven did a real good rebounding and post defense."
The coach said it was a strong offensive performance.
"If every game we could have three or more players in double figures, we'd be tough to stop."
Scoring for Cartersville were Davis, 17; Tobin, 14; Hakeem Winters, 7; Christian Demastus, 3; Mosby, 19; Zack Hacker, 2; Hunter Benham, 2; Tavaris Brown, 1; and Josh Farmer, 2.
Also, Davis was credited with seven assists and Tobin six. Benham grabbed six boards and Winters five. Penn blocked three shots and Tobin one. Davis and Winters each tallied four steals.
Rome dropped to 0-6 overall and is 0-2 in Region 5A-AAAAA.
Lady Wolves 65, Lady Canes 58
Cartersville shot poorly at the charity stripe — going 2-of-16 — and lost by seven points to Rome in their game.
The Lady Purple Hurricanes stepped up two classifications to open its season against their Floyd County neighbor and paid a price as the Lady Wolves were playing in their sixth game of the season.
Coach Cindy Moore said Cartersville lost to a quality opponent and she saw some things her team can build on.
"It was our first game and it showed," she said. "Rome has played a number of games and you could tell they have worked some things out. Now we need to work some of those things out."
Rome held a one-point lead after the first quarter, 17-16, but Cartersville answered in the second frame with 21 points while holding the home team to 11, giving the Lady Hurricanes a 37-28 lead at the break.
Rome outscored Cartersville 18-11 in the third quarter, good enough to cut their deficit to 48-46. The Lady Wolves scored 19 points to 10 for Cartersville in the final quarter, accounting for the 65-58 final tally.
"We probably ran out of gas a little at the end," Moore said, "and we came up a little short."
Kaelyn Irby led the Lady Canes with 17 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Also contributing to the Cartersville cause were Maya Jones, 11 points and seven rebounds; Jazmine Baldwin, nine points and nine rebounds; and Hallie Wachsmuth, eight points.
With the loss, Cartersville is 0-1 on the season. Rome improved to 3-3 overall and is 1-1 in Region 5A-AAAAA.
Game moved to Thursday
Cartersville makes its basketball home opener against Ringgold on Thursday night — moved up a day from its originally scheduled opening so fans can watch the Cartersville Purple Hurricanes host Buford at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the state high school football playoffs.
The girls tip off at 6 p.m. Thursday while the boys start their game at 7:30 p.m.

The latest assessment of global climate change is out and scientists from around the world have recommended changes including some in agriculture, forestry and other land use designed to mitigate their effects on climate change.
As a lead author of a chapter in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment report released this month, Kansas State University Distinguished Professor and soil microbiologist Chuck Rice gave a presentation at the World Bank on April 16. Rice was part of a group of 18 authors from around the world who wrote the chapter pertaining to agriculture, forestry, and other land use. In an interview, he discussed some of the recommendations made by the authors.
Most greenhouse gases come from burning fossil fuels to produce energy, although deforestation, industrial processes, and some agricultural practices also emit gases into the atmosphere, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Greenhouse gases act like a blanket around the Earth, trapping energy in the atmosphere and causing it to warm. This is called the greenhouse effect and is natural and necessary to support life on Earth. However, a buildup of greenhouse gases can change Earth's climate.
"Agriculture globally contributes about 10 to 12 percent to greenhouse gas emissions," Rice said. "If you add in forestry it moves it up to around 25 percent. Agriculture is significant but not the major contributor and has declined slightly, percentage-wise, since the last report in 2007, not so much because agriculture has changed that much but because the energy sector is contributing more."
IPCC Assessment Reports Background
"The IPCC was started in the late 1980s when the first President Bush signed with other countries that climate change was an issue for the planet," said Rice, who added that this latest report is one of a series that has come out every seven years. "Our chapter addresses agriculture's role in the future of the emission of greenhouse gases."
This is the fifth assessment report, said Rice, who also served on the fourth report which received the Nobel Peace Prize. Overall, the panel includes three working groups -- one studying the science involved in climate change, one studying the adaptation to climate change and one studying the mitigation of climate change which is the group Rice's team is part of. About 240 scientists, including specialists in forestry, land use, social science, economics and others, contributed to the third group report's 16 chapters.

A lumbosacral spine CT is a computed tomography
scan of the lower spine and surrounding tissues.
Spinal CT; CT - lumbosacral spine
You will be asked to lie on a narrow table that slides into the center of the CT scanner. You will need to lie on your back for this test.
Once inside the scanner, the machine's x-ray beam rotates around you.
Small detectors inside the scanner measure the amount of x-rays that make it through the part of the body being studied. A computer takes this information and uses it to create several individual images, called slices. These images can be stored, viewed on a monitor, or printed on film. Three-dimensional models of organs can be created by stacking the individual slices together.
You must be still during the exam, because movement causes blurred images. You may be told to hold your breath for short periods of time.
In some cases, an iodine-based dye, called contrast, may be injected into your vein before images are taken. Contrast can highlight specific areas inside the body, which creates a clearer image.
In other cases, a CT of the lumbosacral spine may be done after injecting contrast dye into the spinal canal during a lumbar puncture
to further check for pressure on the nerves.
The scan will usually last a few minutes.
You should remove all jewelry or other metal objects before the test, as they may cause inaccurate images.
The x-rays are painless. Some people may have discomfort from lying on the hard table.
Contrast may cause a slight burning sensation, a metallic taste in the mouth, and a warm flushing of the body. These sensations are normal and usually go away within a few seconds.
CT rapidly creates detailed pictures of the body. A CT of the lumbosacral spine is an excellent tool for evaluating fractures and degenerative changes of the spine, such as those due to arthritis.
CT of the lumbosacral spine may reveal the following conditions or diseases:
The most common type of contrast given into a vein contains iodine. If a person with an iodine allergy is given this type of contrast, hives
, itching
, nausea
, breathing difficulty
, or other symptoms may occur.
If you have diabetes or are on kidney dialysis, talk to your health care provider before the test about your risks.
CT scans and other x-rays are strictly monitored and controlled to make sure they use the least amount of radiation. CT scans do create low levels of ionizing radiation, which have the potential to cause cancer and other defects. However, the risk associated with any individual scan is small. The risk increases as numerous additional studies are performed.
In some cases, a CT scan may still be done if the benefits greatly outweigh the risks. For example, it can be more risky not to have the exam, especially if your health care provider thinks you might have cancer.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their health care provider about the risk of CT scans to the baby.

I'm a big fan of the concept behind the Revolution however I've read mixed reviews which leaves me on the fence. Many argue that the individuals who experienced problems hadn't tuned the rest properly.
My main concern however is that I'm a finger shooter and the concensus is that a prong rest of some kind is best. I currently use the Quicktune 750 and it's served me well but I like the idea of a drop away rest. Not sure if I want to spend the dough and end up with a rest I won't use.

I have a code red and a QAD LD. I like the QAD LD a lot better. They both setup easy but I feel that the LD works a little better, and I like that when I let down slow it keeps the rest up unlike the code red. I also think that it is more quite than the code red. Just my opinion.
I love the revolution; it was easy to tune (although initial setup on the Onza was a bit touch and go with the bridged riser, it all worked out), and has worked flawlessly since I got it set. For the money, you really can't do better IMO.

Review And Giveaway: Mahatma Rice
I remembered Mahatma rice from living in other parts of the country, but didn't realize it wasn't available here in the Pacific NW until recently. (I buy my rice in bulk at Costco mostly these days) Mahatma is actually the new name of S&W Rice. I was sent two packages to try out: the Brown Rice, and the Extra Long Grain Rice.
I enjoyed both, and have bought several other packages of the Brown since I first received my kit. Most Mahatma rice is grown in the US and is Kosher approved - nearly 85% of the rice consumed in the US is grown by farmers in the states of Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas (whoo hoo!). I like having food products that are from here. The Mahatma Thai Jasmine Rice and the Mahatma Aged Authentic Basmati rice are imported though.
A lot of people think that rice is difficult to cook, but if you get yourself a decent rice cooker (mine was under $15 at Target), it opens up SO MANY possibilities! It's so easy! I don't even buy rice mix side dishes any more unless they are free, because I've learned how to make my own using the rice cooker. It's also easy to make a large batch, then add the extras into dishes the next night. (I make homemade fried rice all the time this way, and it's done in minutes without all the extra sodium you find at restaurants) You don't have to buy a big, bulky rice maker either - I have this small 6 cup one that also allows me to steam veggies while the rice is cooking!
If you visit the Mahatma site, they have a ton of great recipes that are easily made. If you're looking for one of my tested recipes, try using their rice in my Creamy Chicken and Rice Casserole.
The Mahatma brown rice is a little more expensive than the Extra Long Grain Rice, and a little harder to find. I finally tracked it down for my local folks at Safeway, where it is on sale this week for $2.64 (regular retail looks to be $2.89) for a 28 oz bag. The Extra Long Grain rice can be found at both Safeway and Albertsons for $2.89 for a 2 lb bag. (As of this posting, I haven't been able to find it at any of the local Fred Meyer stores) Watch for it to go on sale, and buy several bags - but do be aware, that brown rice goes rancid much faster than white. Only purchase for your food storage and pantry a supply that you will use in about 2 months of recipes at the most. The white and extra long grain, if stored properly can be good easily for a year or more. (To get around brown rice goes rancid quickly, you can store it in the freezer, but only for a few months longer)
Tip: If you are having a hard time getting your family to enjoy brown rice without a bunch of sauces, try replacing 1/3rd of your recipes using brown rice, and the rest with white or extra long grain, then mixing it well before cooking.
It's also easy to stretch a lot of meat recipes with a cup of rice. Consider making tacos with 1/2 ground meat, and 1/2 cooked rice!
Don't forget to join The Riceipe Club for online coupons, special offers and other Mahatma updates!
Win it! BzzAgent sent me several coupons for free Mahatma rice products to hand out as part of my participating in this campaign, and I've set one aside to share with my readers! You'll be receiving two coupons actually - one to try the Mahatma brown variety, and one to try the extra long grain variety.

Never heard of this rice before, but I like the idea it's American. We eat lots of rice dishes. I suppose a less common one would be rice salad, with a dressing and whatever fresh veggies I have in the frig.

"[Camp Invention] helps them retain [what they've learned] rather than just answering questions out of a book — they're actually doing something," Assistant Professor of Biology and camp coordinator Merry Clark said.
For example, students had to work together in teams to construct a "duck chuck" device from used electronics they brought from home. Small groups of campers built with the devices an apparatus to launch a rubber duck under the scenario that the ducks, each from different countries, were migrating with their flocks and got lost along the way. Thus, the groups tried to launch their duck the farthest in order to catch up with their flocks.
"They brought in VCRs, clocks, DVD players, keyboards, computers — all that kind of stuff," camp counselor and Mission Road Elementary School teacher Anita Webb said. "The other thing is they have to get along and work together, which is usually the biggest problem, but they've really done well with this.
"The major rule is they cannot touch the duck. They had to build a launch pad and [launch the duck] at least 10 feet to be in the running for the competition."
While working on the "duck chuck," Alexandra Kanturek, an exiting fourth-grader from Pine Log Elementary, along with her group, applied one of the most integral tools that all Southern inventors, young or old, have used at one time or another when working on a project.
"We've been using lots of duct tape," Kanturek said, adding she also enjoyed learning about Earth science during the camp, such as volcanoes and earthquakes.
Students also had to construct a model and provide an explanation to real-world problems and scenarios.
"There was not enough room in Singapore so we had to find a solution to make more land there," Cartersville Elementary School exiting fifth-grader Alex Cliver said. "The team I was in, we thought of [building] land up in the sky on multiple levels, so you would have separate areas of land you could rent."
Webb explained, "They were trying to utilize separate areas of land, so a lot of them put [the areas] floating in the sky, in tunnels ... One of the [challenges] was the water in Honduras was being polluted so one of the groups designed a netting system that cleaned the trash, but we didn't want to ruin the marine life, so they had a sonar-type sound that emitted from [the net] and it scared the fish away and they also had baiters to keep the fish away."
Cliver said his group learned to work together to apply their ideas to their projects.
"We kind of all had our ideas and we put them together," he said. "We had three people to a group ... and we put each [idea] into one big plan."
Cliver said he plans to apply some of what he learned at Camp Invention when pursuing his passion — inventing.
"I kind of just like making stuff," Cliver said. "I'm definitely going to be an inventor when I grow up and I love science."
Clark said six campers received camp scholarships through contributions from Chemical Products Corporation.

Before a big game, some athletes think it's best to carbo-load by eating large pasta dinners. A runner can tear a ligament in her knee and not be aware of the full extent of the damage until years later. Video games like Brain Boost are advertised as improving memory and hand-eye coordination. These seemingly unrelated examples address the human mind and body, its abilities, and its limits – topics explainable through the science of human performance.
The human performance program is designed to lay groundwork for continued graduate study on topics of health, wellness, and how to unlock the full potential of the human body.

Pain Management Health Center
Opioid (Narcotic) Pain Medications
Opioid Side Effects
One of the reasons why your doctor needs to manage your pain medications so closely is that they can potentially cause side effects, such as:
- constipation
- drowsiness
- nausea and vomiting
The drugs methylnaltrexone (Relistor) and naloxegol (Movanik) have been approved specifically to treat constipation due to opioid use in those with chronic pain not caused by cancer.
Opioids can be dangerous if you take them with alcohol, or with certain drugs such as:
- some antidepressants
- antihistamines
- sleeping pills
Make sure your doctor knows all of the other medicines you're taking. That includes:
- prescription drugs
- over-the-counter drugs
- herbal supplements
Opioid Tolerance and Addiction
After taking opioid pain medication for a while, you might find that you need more and more of the drug to achieve the same effect in reducing pain. This is called tolerance. It's not the same as addiction, which involves a compulsive use of a drug.
When you use opioid medication over an extended period of time, you can develop dependence. This can occur when your body becomes so used to the drug that if you abruptly stop taking it, you get withdrawal symptoms such as:
You can also develop an addiction to opioid pain medications. People who are addicted to opioids compulsively seek out the pain medications. They typically have behaviors that lead to negative consequences in their personal lives or workplace.
If you are having a problem with addiction, you might need to see an addiction specialist.
Should You Take Opioid Pain Medications?
Opioids can make a dramatic difference to people with moderate to severe pain. These drugs can be an effective therapy -- as long as you use them safely and follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

The Fury of Firestorm #1 by Ethan Van Sciver, Gail Simone and Yildiray Cinar has one good element at its core (I guess that pun is intended) and that's the issue of race. Before high school quarterback Ronnie Raymond and school reporter Jason Rusch are linked to the Firestorm Protocol, they are just kids who don't get along because Jason accuses Ronnie of racism. It′s not that Ronnie says or does anything to provoke this, which shows Simones subtlety and sure hand; its that Jason is angry and maybe jealous of Ronnie′s minor celebrity and plays the race card, with the effect of actually getting Ronnie to wonder why it is he and his mother don't have any black friends, even as he′s angry at Jason for bringing the question to light.
That's the most interesting part of the issue, with the rest being rather unconvincing stuff involving a threesome of handsome American terrorists tracking the remaining particle to Jason, leading to the transformation of our two male leads into the superpowered version of The Defiant Ones. None of that is very interesting, with average, Bob McLeod style art from Cinar and the same made-up teen lingo (″Ill casket you!″) Simone used to ill effect in Batgirl. I give it credit for trying to be about something for half its length, but its not enough to keep me around.
Teen Titans #1 by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth is one of many DC books determined to bring back the ′90s. Hey, the title of the issue is even, Teen Spirit, and you've got ′90s X-writer Lobdell and ′90s Image artist Booth, looking about the same. Lobdell doesn't do such a bad job, though gathering just two heroes together for the eventual team seems a little sluggish. Red Robin, the Cassie Sandsmark Wonder Girl, and Superboy—none of these are characters who I feel like I′m missing out on. I actually liked Lobdell′s Superboy debut, so hopefully I can just read that without having to follow this one.
I, Vampire #1 by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Andrea Sorrentino is the most Vertigoesque of the new books, a nod to Twilight and True Blood with its star-crossed lovers and that one special vampire guy who sees humans as more than walking blood bags. This vampire, Andrew, has been (un)living for 400 years with guilt over turning the sweet Mary into what she is today, a bloodsucker about to go to war against humanity with the rest of her kind. This isn't an original comment, but yes, Sorrentino′s art does look a lot like Jae Lee, and that's a good thing, as the book calls for a style that's someber and still, though maybe Fialkov could have broken things up a bit with a flashback to sunnier times. I think Fialkov may be in for a tough go trying to reconcile this world with the rest of the metahuman-filled DCU, but for now, we′re off to a good start.
The Flash #1 by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccelato is a nice-looking book that brought me back a little bit to the first time I ever was interested in The Flash, the Waid/Wieringo run. Oh, its not that Manapul is busting out fresh concepts like the Speed Force or anything, but what as a new writer he may lack in making Barry Allen much more interesting than the norm, he makes up for with an engaging, softer art style that looks like color over pencils, sans ink, and a willingness to play with page layouts and an organic use of sound effects that stands head and shoulders over what we can now say with authority is an overwhelming lack of artistic ambition on the part of 90% of the other DC artists. I think Manapul could do a better job introducing his supporting cast for maximum impact, but I do like that he seems to understand that one way to make boring Barry more interesting is to have two women interested in him.
Justice League Dark #1 by Peter Milligan and Mikel Janin is the most interesting and competent of the many team books DC has unleashed the past month. As he has shown the past few years in Hellblazer, Milligan is expert at damaged characters who still have something to offer, and now, in addition to roping in John Constantine and early success Shade The Changing Man, he has the scarred soothsayer Madame Xanadu, the daft, haunted June Moone, the resourceful but insecure Zatanna, and even the searching Deadman, who are all being slowly drawn together to go up against The Enchantress, who has already defeated the regular Justice League.
Janin is a new name to me, but I like the style, which is dark but grounded. Obviously this is a title that's going to call for some out-of-the-box storytelling, so hopefully he can keep growing in that regard. I guess my only concern is that Milligan has his work cut out for him trying to make each of these strange loners distinct, but I trust he will be up to the task.
And that's it, the whole 52 aside from Green Lantern Corps, a title that I missed. I think that's thorough enough. I can say that the majority of these books are not ones I will continue to follow, but I will say there are more I liked than I expected, so that's something. The ones I wont stick with mostly fail by being mediocre, the titillating or offensive elements unfortunate but probably overly remarked upon. I don't think reaching more women, kids or non-Caucasians was ever a serious goal, and the few who are offended are likely to keep reading anyway. What folks should really be more demanding of are better stories, more adventurous art, more risks taken. The relaunch has been considered by many to be a kind of last ditch attempt at new readers and relevance, and so the problem is not that Starfire is a slut or Catwoman and Batman get it on, but that to those writers′ minds, and their editors, this represents risk and a bold attempt at taking the characters into new territory. At the same time, maybe 15% of the books show some inventiveness and fresh approaches that aren't based on exploitation, with another chunk of the books being familiar but competent entertainments. That's not a bad average overall.
