Quince Orchard High School linebacker Marcus Newby admitted he was nervous. So did defensive end Kieran Gregory. As did coach Dave Mencarini.
But while Westminster High School shredded Quince Orchard for 77 yards in the final 79 seconds of a Class 4A state semifinal, all without any timeouts left, perhaps quarterback Matt Choi had it worst.
"I couldn't watch any of it," Choi said. "All I heard was their crowd cheering, and I was like, 'Oh my God, they're driving on us.'
"I peeked a couple of times, and I just saw receivers running. I was about to throw up. I couldn't watch anymore."
But against one of the Maryland's best offenses, Quince Orchard's defense stepped up early and did just enough late to preserve a 21-19 victory Friday and send Quince Orchard (12-1) to its second straight 4A state championship game, where it will play the winner of Saturday's Henry A. Wise-Meade game.
Quince Orchard led 14-0, trailed 19-14 and won once host Westminster missed a 37-yard field goal with no time remaining — a gut-wrenching playoff game for a team still not over its previous gut-wrenching playoff game. Quince Orchard lost to Old Mill 36-35 in last year's title game, allowing an overtime two-point conversion after relinquishing a 21-0 lead.
"I'm sure there was a lot of people that had the oh-my-God here-we-go-again feeling," Mencarini said. "But we were able to fight through it."
Westminster (12-1) entered Friday averaging 45 points per game, and its 19 points were 16 fewer than its previous low. Quince Orchard frequently put few men in the box, but defensive ends Andrew Ankrah and Gregory often pressured Westminster quarterback Deryk Kern anyway.
The Choi-led offense took care of the rest.
Choi who became a starter after Mikey Murtaugh suffered a season-ending injury in the third game threw an 83-yard touchdown pass to Elliott Davis midway through the third quarter for the game's final score. Choi also ran for two touchdowns in the first half and finished with 170 passing yards and 119 rushing yards.
Quince Orchard has won eight straight games since losing to Seneca Valley on Sept. 28. Friday's contest was the first in the streak that didn't have a running clock, but Quince Orchard persevered — a good sign for a team driven to avenge its state-final loss.
"After Mikey Murtaugh went down, they said this isn't our season, next year," Gregory said. "After we lost to Seneca, they told us the same thing. 'We knew this was going to happen. They're not going to do it.' It's great to prove everyone wrong."
After the missed field goal, Quince Orchard players and coaches swarmed the field for a wild celebration. Mencarini ran toward the sideline with his arms raised victoriously, stood on a chair and jabbed the air as the Quince Orchard fans cheered in response. As he ran back to join his team, though, he crouched down and looked to the ground.
"Just the emotion of everything our program has been through in the last year," Mencarini said. "I know exactly how Westminster feels, and it's awful. And it's something that takes a long time to get over."
Quince Orchard players and coaches freely admit they're still not over last season's loss to Old Mill and that the defeat motivates them. As they look to this year's championship game, they're already talking about something they proved Friday they could do.
"This time," Newby said, "We're going to finish it."

I still think they should break it down a charge by division. If you want to buy all the games for the AFC east then you pay only for games played by the Phins, Pats, Bills and Jets. You could charge something like. Hundred dollars per division. And then if you are a bar you get a discounted price if you by every game. I bet if they had a pricing system like that they would see new subscriptions jump through the roof.

Yeah the catch is you don't get any of games in HD lol. Waist!!!

I am SOO all over this. I used to have this and then I moved to a place that didnt allow it. Now I have moved to a place I can have it again. Ironically, what I liked about it was not just the fins games but the ability to watch ANY game. Inevitably there are great games going on that are not shown in my area due to some regional BS. So instead of watching something like the Packers vs Saints I got stuck with Jaguars vs Browns. etc.
So I am stoked!
I just signed up. I got the choice Ultimate package with monthly discounts, autopay, referred a friend who will get 100.00 off his bill at 10.00 a month and so will I. Must have the friends account when signing up. Also they threw in the NFL package for free, and I got a HD DVR receiver and a HD receiver for free. Bill will be 56.98 a month for 12 months, and then 76.98 from month 13 to 24.

Got this message from one of the neighbors that lives on Perkerson ... his house is the one that faces #12 teepad on the corner. Pretty good deal for a 3BR:
Mark and I would like to move to our house on Dill Avenue at the end of Feb / early March to begin working on it. Our Rambler Ranch up on the hill overlooking Perkerson Park will be for rent beginning March / April. The house is a 3 bdrm 1bth Rambler Ranch with dishwasher and washer / dryer connection, wood burning fire place, screen porch overlooking park. We don't mind renters with pets and we encourage them having a dog. We are hoping to rent it out for a couple of years while fixing up the Dill Avenue house and waiting for the housing market to get better. In addition, Dill avenue needs some much needed improvements and I will be working hard toward those improvements while living on Dill. I wanted to let you know in case you knew any one that might be interested in a rental across from Perkerson Park. As you know we also have tennis courts and ball fields within walking distance to our home. Furthermore, we are a short walk or bike ride to Marta for those seeking alternative transportation and they could walk to disc golf practice / tournaments or just walk their dogs at the park. This would be a great home for local college students or for those working in the downtown area.
We would like to rent it out for $900.00 a month with a $600.00 refundable deposit / NO pet deposit required as we have pets (prefer tenants with no more than two dogs that are house broken)
We would provide all lawn maintenance and house maintenance for tenant free of charge
Free security monitoring via Alarm Force
We would also be willing to provide a bi weekly basic cleaning of the house free to tenant via (Mother & Daughter Cleaning Co.)
Local college students or Atlanta Disc Golfers renting the house would get a free case of beer once a month for the months of April, May, June, July, August, and September with a years lease. Our location would be great place for disc golfers to hang, party and grill-out after the games. (charcoal grill included)
Tenant would have to provide their own utilities such as water, gas, electric.
Thanks John and let me know if you find some guys that are interested. Mark and I are looking forward to the upcoming Ice Bowl tournament.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday floored the presidential candidate of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Major General Muhammad Buhari (rtd) as the Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja said that joining the former president in the petition or insisting that he must appear to respond to allegations has no basis in law. In a similar vein, General Buhari reacted to the withdrawal of his party?s petition, saying that it was an attempt to make the country a one-party state.
General Buhari had asked the tribunal to nullify the last general election, which he alleged was rigged. He further averred that Chief Obasanjo played a major role in the alleged malpractices. But delivering the ruling yesterday, the tribunal Chairman, Justice James Ogede said that making Obasanjo a party to the suit contravened section 142 (2) of the Electoral Act 2006 adding that since Obasanjo was not a candidate in the controversial election, there was no reason to join him.
He expressed no hesitation in striking out the name of the former president from the list of respondents, stressing that the tribunal did not bother itself on the issue of immunity clause raised by the counsel.
Justice Ogede whose ruling was agreed to by other four justices on the panel said that the provision of the law relating to the joinder was unambiguous and it states that only electoral officers could be joined in the petition in their official capacities. Obasanjo, he said, was not a candidate in the election and therefore not a compulsory party whose absence as a respondent could not affect the outcome of the petition. He said the allegation contained in the petition that Obasanjo misused the armed forces to rig the election could be handled independent of the petition.
I dont know why this man is dragging this thing
too much, its time he stops fighting democracy
and concentrate on other issues. So far so good,
this Yar'adua Government has been very fair, and
within his 100 days in office, so many changes
have happened.
Janar, enjoy your retirement, come 2011 ANPP
has their choice of candidate for the Presidency.
We appreciate your concern for the survival of
our nascent democracy, we will always remember
you as a hero in uniform and agbada.

Well, I'm with you Husnaa, I believe he should fight on. Any govt formed on the basis of treachery and injstice should be fought. I refused to be swayed by the misguided notion of yaradua will do well. In as much as he allowed the atrocities of the last election to be commited on his behalf, for his selfish desire to be president, he's as bad as OBJ. I don't know if ANPP had withdrawn their petition. If they did, it is a slap on our face, and Allah ya isa.

Unfortunately Allanguro, I completely disagree with you on this point. Why should the general withdraw his petition? Like you and I, shouldnt he have a right to seek legal redress when he is wronged? In my opinion, there is nothing wrong at all if he continues to push on should he choose to. So long as he feels he has the means and the reason to do so, he's free to do so. The question you should have raised is being in his position would you choose to carry on or withdraw, considering the other subtle issues of PR, public image, elderly respect and deft politicking in our society. Your position or comment should be an advisory position Dan Borno, in which case I clearly understand your view point, vis-a-vis maintaining his respectful status in society.
Personally I feel he should push on, without compromise but with more wisdom and with an open eye to understanding the political game and how it works. He needs to understand the game of politics a lot more. He needs to see that the only difference between PDP, ANPP and any other political party for that matter is simply, OPPORTUNITY. Therefore while we acknowledge and support him for his attributes and his vision for Nigeria, it would take a little more than that to navigate the corridors of power and secure his seat, thus defeating the "politicians" in their own rotten game.
But my support for his petition is part of a much larger issue. A major point of correction Dan Borno, in my opinion, even if he should withdraw his petition IT SHOULD NOT BE ON THE BASIS OF WHETHER OR NOT THIS GOVERNMENT IS DOING WELL.. becasue regardless of how well Yar'adua does IT DOES NOT AND WILL NEVER GIVE HIM LEGITIMACY in the eyes of we who seek truth, fairness and justice. Being a man of "pragmatic peace", I would still say Allah ya bashi zaman lafiya, but make no mistake, the government as effective as it may be is still and will be (at least for the next four years) undoubtedly illegitimate.
This is not because I am naive to politics but merely because a distincition has to be drawn at some point. we dont condone wrong because it was done by one of us. If my brother is wrong, He remains wrong and if he has wronged my enemy, he still remains wrong. that is what I was taught. The end does not justify the means, that is not the way, that is not the Islamic way. We cant build a sound society if we accept wrong where it is clearly wrong. We just cant. Where is the fairness in that? Is not a better society what we seek?
Thats why I support Buhari's petition, simply because he reminds us of what this country ought to be. I know that he is highly unlikely to be successful even at our "fair" electoral tribunals. But by pushing it through the legal channel and challenging this, he stands for a lot more than merely defending his mandate. He stands to represent we who believe that in all situations, the right thing should be done always.
Is that too much to ask?

Allah ya saka da alheri malam Sheriff.
Even though we have been busy saying our mind
or rather opinion, a lot of things must be put into
consideration, especially after the election is over.
Before and during the election, all and sundry knew
quite alright that the then government of Ubanshegu
is bent by any means to hand over this government
to Yar'adua and there is no point fighting for it.
I can remember, i started a thread on the 2007 election
Election or War - because the way Ubanshegu took
the issue of Presidential seat is far beyond personal.
Political soothsayers have predicted either civil war
or Yar'adua and Buhari has been adequately informed.
If that is the case, and considering the clamour from
the north that power must shift, what is the waste of
time for?
Another issue i want us to consider also is; despite
this election was held in a fraudulent manner, i doubt
much if the Janar is going to get away with the required
percentage to earn him the number 1 seat.
Times without number, Yar'adua has publicly stated that
we are still in the learning process of democracy, so
instead of us wasting much time in trying to define
and interprete our laws, why dont we calm down and
prepare adequately for the upcoming 2011 election?
My last argument which has always been my argument
is that, in politics, party machinery is much more
important than candidacy. No matter how popular you
might be, if the machineries of the party are not at
your disposal, you are bound to fail. So did Janar,
he was only a candidate with no party machinery at
his disposal. The party's decision is final.

DB, I cant disagree with you more. Your arguments are full of perforations. If they were a bucket, they will not hold water at all.
If gwamnatin OBJ is bent on handing the govt to 'yaradua, in a fraudlent way, that still doesnt mean that ppl should acquiesce to that. Why should there be no point in fighting it? Isnt that what democracy is all about? Politcal soothsayers have predicted either war or 'yar adua... That is the most preposterous thing I have heard in a long time. Who are these political pundits? OBJ cannot be that senile. I know I heard him say that this was a do or die affair, but one cant literally translate it to mean civil war if they lose.
If as you write that the Janar would not be able to get away with the required percentage that wouldnt be such a problem in the long run because if he lost in a full and fair election, he would surely concede to the winner. So why cant we be allowed to hold a fair election and if he has to lose then fine, the point is that this RIGHT was denied not only to the General and Atiku, but also to the bulk of us Nigerian masses, who were not allowed to manifest our wishes. And since you are saying that what is the waste of time for? you forget that ppl's time and energy were wasted, by making them go to a cooked up, half baked parody of an election. OBJ should just have declared 'yar adua as the president without wasting our time, and govt money in rigging up an already decided election.
That we are still in the learning process of democracy... come on!! 'Yar adua and whoever are saying this, are just insulting the ppl's intellingence! How long does it take for a kid to enrol and finish primary sch, how long secondary and how long for university? Each of these stages is a learning process which is CONCLUDED at the end of it and for which one is deemed capable of going forward to the next stage. This means that the scholar has learned his lessons at each stage for him to be able to move forward and each of these stages takes less than the eight yrs that OBJ has been in power! Suppose someone were to take the sum total of the yrs on spends at sch as the period of the learning process, i.e. from primary sch to university, that would be 5yrs plus 6 yrs plus 4 yrs. A total of 15 yrs. If we take Nigeria's staggered democratic system, we have had as much time as that, starting from the year of independence. So what learning process are we talking about? Nothing but greed for wealth and power propels our political machinery and as long as they remain the yardstick for yearning for office, nothing will ever change. This has nothing to do with any learning process. Its just the phrases used to hoodwink the stupefied masses.
We mustnt interprete our laws? because if we did, it maybe that the powers that be will be found to be on the wrong side of the law right? so just let sleeping dogs lie. That is what you are advocating? Where is the democracy in this?
You know something? to the devil with the party machinery. You have surely heard of independent candidates who have no parties to back them. Buhari having had the ppl's support solidly behind him, would not have needed munafikan ANPP su tsaya masa. They were just using him at any rate to begin with, because of his popularity with the masses. I wish he'd realized that much earlier.
Buhari doesnt need a party machinery behind him because if he leaves ANPP today, the bulk of the talakawa will vacate ANPP as well, myself included. Ni infact ma bana ANPP anymore, I thoroughly dislike the party. Nothing but a bunch of selfish self serving opportunists.
Zakaran da Allah Ya nufa da chara ko ana muzuru ko ana shaho sai yayi, party or no party. If the masses hadnt been intimidated not to come out and demonstrate in another orange revolution style kind of picketting, at least 'yar adua may probably not be the president today. Maybe not even Buhari, but at least it wouldnt be an unelected leader!

What about Sheik's comment Malam Bash?
Islamically, Buhari Must Withdraw His Election Case - Gumi
Weekly Trust (Kaduna)
15 September 2007
Isa Sa'idu
Prominent Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Gumi, in this interview, says going by Islamic strictures, General Buhari has no option but to drop his election petition against President Umaru Yar'Adua.
Weekly Trust: What informed your call on aggrieved politicians to withdraw their cases from the electoral tribunals given the widespread condemnation of the elections?
Gumi: To answer that question, I have to start by clarifying my position on the April elections. I want to say I am not ignorant of the fact that the elections were flawed in many areas and aspects.
This is not the first time I am saying this. I said a similar thing even before the elections through a press release which I issued in November 2006, five months before the elections. I made the press release to notify the public that from the conduct of the voters' registration, I have seen many flaws in which I concluded that the elections may not be free and fair. I came to the country (from Saudi Arabia) to observe the conduct of the elections myself. I have gone round and seen problems associated with the elections all along. I was not surprised with what I saw since the infrastructures for a credible elections are not on ground before the elections, therefore it would amount to self deceit for somebody to expect a house built on wrong foundation and such a house to last long or be strong.
Since all the parties have agreed with the weak foundation on which the elections lied on and consented that the INEC was capable of conducting an election, so it means they have consented to the weak foundation on which the election was built.
They should therefore agree with the outcome of the election. Whoever and whichever party joined that election must agree with the outcome of that election. They know that the foundation was weak and yet went ahead to participate in the election. Many politicians and people like us have said the nation was not ready for the election but all those people that are crying now accepted and their parties that the elections will be credible. This is just like joining a car which has no good tires and its driver is drunk. What else do you expect more than an accident? We have to deal with whole issue in a moral way. They all agreed to join an election which has
no solid foundation
when they know that the election was not well planned to be credible.
WT: But the politicians, especially the prominent ones among them, have also made such observations before the elections.
Gumi: Then why do they join the elections? They have to bear the consequences. As Islamic scholars, we take the
interest of the whole nation into consideration first
. Parties are fighting for their interest. Individuals within the parties are fighting for theirs too. The interest of the nation is to have peace, unity and tranquility before we start talking about the ethics of democracy. Democracy, power shift or leadership are fiddlers to peace and stability. Therefore, we cannot compromise the peace and stability of the nation based on personal, party or group interest.I observed that most of the parties before the April elections were themselves not ready for the election, not only the INEC. Most of the parties did not send their polling agents to the polling units. Where the party agents are sent, their allowances were not paid. They don't have people to represent them in sensitive areas. In short, all the parties are deficient. How can we take somebody's negligence and compromise the unity and peace of this nation? This is why I advised the aggrieved candidates to withdraw their cases.
Already people were sworn in into offices what we should now do is to see that a credible electoral system is put in place so that the next election will be credible. Poverty alleviation, elimination of ignorance and diseases should also be our priority as a nation. We should put our energy and efforts to see that the country's problems are tackled so that we can develop. If we say we will fight the government or call for the cancellation of the elections, we can never have credible elections because the infrastructures are not there. The INEC has no money and credible personnel to conduct free and fair elections and most of the parties are weak. If another election is to be conducted, we will only end up in chaos.
WT: You have acknowledged that the elections were flawed. The politicians in the tribunals are agitating for justice. Are they not doing the right thing Islamically since Islam promotes justice?
My decision to advice the aggrieved politicians to withdraw their court cases was based on two pillars. On the pure Islamic perspective, regardless of the way and manner in which somebody is sworn in to govern, that person must be obeyed. Islam has wisdom behind this. Islam looks at the interest of the nation and peace. Once a leader is given allegiance by some people, Islam demands that he should be obeyed. This is because if you attempt to remove him, his own supporters could cause break down of law and order or even sabotage the new administration. The Prophet (pbuh) was reported to have said, "One who dislikes a thing done by his leader should be patient over it. For anyone from the people who withdraws his obedience from the government, even to the extent of a hand-span and died in that condition, would die the death of one belonging to the days of ignorance (Jahiliyya)." Ideally as I said, the politicians should not have participated in the elections but they made a mistake to take part and a leader had emerged they should therefore bear the fruits of their mistakes. They agreed with rigging and the rigging has taken place.What I am saying is that let's forget the past and build a strong system that will not allow rigging of elections. Even the countries that we are copying democracy from, what they did was to build a system that will not allow rigging. Had it been their system allows rigging, they could have rigged their elections as we are doing here.
WT: Don't you think this position would aid election malpractices in the future?
Gumi: I gave you an Islamic perspective that if a cream of people in the society accepted and gave allegiance to a leader, he should be obeyed and I told you that the wisdom behind that is for peace and tranquility. All over the world politicians want to rig elections, what stops them from rigging is the infrastructure. The system gives them no room to rig. Let's make our system like that so that we can have the leaders who we want. But if we allow the system to continue like this rigging will continue. Even in America or England, if there is room for rigging their politicians will rig. No matter the preaching, we shouldn't deceive ourselves. Politicians always like to rig, what stops rigging is the system. This is why I said the solution to our problem is to build credible electoral infrastructures not nullifying faulty elections. Elections in this country had ever been faulty.
WT: Do you think the present administration is competent to build that credible electoral system given the way it came to power?
Gumi: I am very confident they can. If the warring parties join hands to develop the electoral reforms then they can together find solutions to our electoral problems. We need permanent polling units, permanent computerised voter register and in four years we can have that credible system. If that happens, the next elections from local governments to president will be free and fair.
WT: What happens if the aggrieved politicians refuse to withdraw their court cases?
Gumi: Islamically, once a cream of people has given allegiance to a leader it is forbidden to withdraw that allegiance. The Prophet said in a Hadith that, "You should listen to and obey your ruler even if he is a slave whose head looks like a raisin." In another Hadith he said, "The best of your rulers are those whom you love and who love you, who invoke Allah's blessings upon you and you invoke His blessings upon them. And the worst of your rulers are those whom you hate and who hate you and whom you curse and who curse you. It was asked by those present, shouldn't we overthrow them with the help of the sword? He said: no as long as they establish prayer among you. If you then find anything detestable in them you should hate their administration, but do not withdraw yourselves from their obedience." By this if the tribunals nullified the elections, especially the presidential, since Nigeria is not an Islamic state, what the Muslims will do if such happens, we will go and participate in the elections but nobody should elect these two people-Buhari and Atiku. Islamically, they are incompetent to rule because any Muslim who opposes the teachings of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is incapable of being a leader. Anybody who is not ready to make sacrifice to his people and nation such a person is not capable to be the leader. If these two giants are not ready to step down for peace and tranquility in this nation, then they are not capable to be leaders. If there would be another election we will tell Muslims to shun them with all our heart. Anybody who follows them will follow them on the risk of losing his faith in Allah.
WT: The Islamic allegiance you are talking about, does it apply to a state like Nigeria which is said to be secular in nature?
Gumi: Somebody will say we are not an Islamic state, therefore, we shouldn't bring Islamic perspective to it. But the answer to this is Islam is based on those things that take care of the people's welfare. Islamic principles are based on facts that are natural irrespective of who is involved or his country. This is to help the society. The people we are talking about are Muslims therefore, Islamic principles are applicable to them. What we are saying is that the money that will be used in conducting another election can be used, with the cooperation of Buhari and Atiku, to build a credible electoral system that will not allow rigging in future elections. I am calling on the government to put time, money and credible people in the electoral reform. Let's work hand in hand to see that things are moving in the right directions. We cannot have development in commotion and chaos. I am appealing to the aggrieved politicians to step down their arms and work towards building a credible electoral system where we can elect the leaders of our choice. I want to call on the general public to please cooperate with the government and let's start building a country that we can be proud of. Let's build a country that will be free of corrupt leaders. We can achieve that through a strong and reliable electoral system that will enable us elect God fearing leaders.

I believe all these petitions and what have you are good for our growing and developing democracy in Nigeria, because if we don't voice our opposition and our voices, we will never have a True and Honest Democracy in the country. Everybody knew what the outcome of the election was going to be, but ppl still went out and voice their opinion through casting their votes.
Life is like a flower; more exquisite and precious when shared with others.

sorry for that piece Dan Borno, i wasn't harsh. but the point is very clear, and i'm not disputing what malam said, let Buhari fight his (masses right ) to the last eve though, as i believe (deep in my heart) his not winning, but that's just the legal and democratic way. After that i don't want Buhari to say a single word ever! He was drag into politics by an organised conscipiracy Nigeria ever recorded in it's history, that's his fate and he just gonna live with that for the rest of his life.

How on earth can someone continue fighting a battle he konws he will not win? Buhari is a fine gentleman, an upright and courageous soldier, but to me, he is not a complete democrat and should better remain an elder statesman guiding and counselling our current crop of leaders. His rigidity has always denied him the loyalty of his party chiefs and ultimately the Nigerian Presidency.
In our democracy, at least during "mai hanci kaman gajeren wando"s time, anything goes! It was the WILL of the Almighty that Yaradua becomes the President, and is so far making strides. Let us pray for him to have good health and last the four years mandate.....simple!

For days, I haven't been following the happenings in the news. I don't know things haven gone to that peak--though I heard of the news that ANPP had withdrawn is petition at court. But what attract my attention is what DB quoted Gumi saying in the Daily Trust. That statement absolutely surprise me though I haven't gone through every line of the piece because am afraid of the time but still I grasp where it headed.
Personally, before the election commenced, I can boldly say I wasn't at Bukharo's side and neither am I now. But how these so-called northern elites, pro-govt mallams (like Gumi), his party ANPP and the rest are bluffing him, trying to convince or persuade him grudgingly to withdraw his petition at court.
Kai, do you know one surprising point? At first Bukhari announced that he won't take anything to court but his party said it would and convinced him also to do, but when Yar-Adua called for a unity govt and they answered him due to apparently worldly possession shamelessly came back saying bula-bula. What a paradox? What an unjust? What a shame? Gosh!!!!!!!!

I agree with that. I don't think Buhari is made for nigerian politics. And
Hajiya Husnaa
, he
a party machinery to succeed. And I'm not sure where he's headed to next. Cos going by his antecedents, whatever marriage he eventually contrive with whatever party (not only ANPP) is bound to collapse sooner or later. That said, I believe he should continue to fight this illegal govt. that was borne fraudulently. If we continue to live under the illusion of "our democracy is still a baby", when is it going to grow? I tell you that assertion was just coined by a selfish, wicked, greedy and morally corrupt politicians in order to continue to do as they wish. So the general should fight on. Its his right; its our right. It's mighty myiopic for someone to say
ai tun da mulki ya dawo arewa shikenan
. Are we saying it is okay to commit a crime in the name of arewa? How does it even going to benefit the average northerner? I don't give a hoot wherther 'Yaradua will do well, can do well or means well. I always say the mere fact that he collude with OBJ to perpetrate that atrocity (ppl killed, maimed, properties burned) in the name of election means he's as selfish and greedy as OBJ.

Friday, September 28, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. -- The East Tennessee State volleyball team ran their winning streak to five as they defeated College of Charleston in a thrilling 3-1 match Friday night from Brooks Gym in Johnson City, Tenn. The first game would start out even, with the teams exchanging points until ETSU (8-1, 5-1 SoCon) would take a 16-10 lead. The Bucs would hold that advantage until College of Charleston (10-2, 2-1 SoCon) would cut the advantage to two at 27-25. The Cougars would eventually take the lead and have game point at 30-29, but the Bucs would fight back to take the lead back and win the game 33-31. College of Charleston turned the momentum around by winning the second game 30-22. The Cougars took a small early lead and expanded it throughout the game, with the final margin being the game-high. The third game was the reverse of the second. The Bucs took a small advantage in the third game and it grew as the game went on. The game-high lead was the final margin, 30-19 in favor of ETSU. The Cougars took an early lead in the fourth game, but the Bucs tied the gae at 9-9 and would take the lead at 10-9. ETSU would not look back, never relinquishing the lead and winning the final game, 30-21. The Bucs were led by senior setter Carey Cavanaugh, who was one dig short of a triple-double, tallying 10 kills, 51 assists and nine digs. Sophomore outside hitter Kate Steidle led the Bucs with 16 kills as ETSU had five players finish the match with double-digit kills. Sophomore setter Jessica Miller had a game-high 16 digs. College of Charleston was ked by outside hitter Sara Davis who had 14 kills, 12 digs and three blocks. Outside hitter Stephanie Ballard led the Cougars with 15 kills and setter Mary Sabatino led the team with 36 assists. Middle blocker Alisa Long had a game-high four blocks for the Cougars. The Bucs return to action on Saturday as they host The Citadel at 11 a.m. and then Lipscomb University at 3 p.m. from Brooks Gym in Johnson City.

***Deadline Extension***
"Revisiting Black History, Identities, Sexualities, and Popular Culture"
The Department of Pan-African Studies at Kent State University invites papers for its second bi-annual Africa and the Atlantic World Conference. This year's conference aims at exploring new ways of studying the complex experiences of Africana people worldwide through the lenses of Black history, identities, sexualities, and popular culture. We are particularly interested in the interconnections between the experiences of blacks living in Africa and the Black Diaspora and the significance of these experiences in the formation of past and current identities in a global world. These experiences need to be discussed not only in relationship to the similar developments that occurred in Africa and the United States, but also in connection with parallel dynamics that evolved in other parts of the world such as the Caribbean, South America, Asia, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East. Our interests in these issues stem from the growing vision and dedication within critical Africana scholarships to study the important contributions of African and African-descended people in the humanities in both local and global contexts. In this vein, the conference invites submission from academic scholars, independent scholars, advanced graduate students, undergraduate students, artists, community leaders and activists on ways to reflect the strengths and diversity of people of African descent. We welcome artistic submissions and have set aside gallery space and theatre space for such endeavors.
Topics and themes of papers/artistic work may include:
· Theories and Africana Studies
· Approaches to Africana Studies
· The humanities and Africana Studies
· Social Sciences and Africana Studies
· The future of Africana Studies
· Public Policy and Africana Studies
· The role of arts in the development of Africana Studies
· Geography and identity
· Gender, sexuality, and the black body
· Black popular culture
· Diasporic economics and labor markets
· Migration and identities of modern immigrants
· Redefinition of the African American identity
· Culture, representation and performance,
· Obama Phenomena
· Jobs for Africana graduates
Please submit a working title and a brief abstract of 250 words, an abbreviated CV (1 page), your full name, institutional affiliation, phone number, and e-mail address. The new due date is now December 6, 2013. Please send all materials electronically to:

5. ??? (I can't even come up with a name here, Clemmons or Clay maybe?)
Why would we sign a 6 yr contract to a WR that only scored 1 TD. Marshall was traded for 2 3rd round picks
cause he kept dropping TDs and losign games for us. did the bears make the playoffs?
If I sign Jennings or harvin and draft Patterson, why do I need hartline?
Just because he is seeking that much, doesn't mean he is going to settle for that.
If he came out and said, "I'd love to get what Laurent Robinson got but I'd realistically settle for $4mil/year." - how do you think his negotiations would go?
He wants $6.5mil/year and will probably settle for $5mil/year.
My ceiling for him $4.5 mil/yr as our #2 WR. If he doesn't like it, see ya later. Jennings and Patterson will be a great tandem.
2015 Miami Dolphins Draft

4. OG: Jamil Douglas-Arizona State
5. DB: Bobby McCain-Memphis
5. RB: Jay Ajayi - Boise State
5. FS: Cedric Thompson - Minnesota
5. WR/CB: Tony Lippett - Michigan State
Key FA signings: DT Ndamukong Suh, TE Cameron Jordan, WR Kenny Stills, and CB Brice McCain
Overpaying Hartline will mean we can't pay a real WR next year, or seriously draft another one, soon or sometime down the road because of salary cap or investment.
If Hartline wants that much money and a team is willing to pay $5 mil for a WR who got 1 touchdown all year on a fluke blown coverage play, then LET THEM.
**** Brian Hartline. For real. He is not even worth $5mil. I want him at 3mil. 4mil tops. Higher than that, he can go F himself.

Two Buddy Bison Students Impress a U.S. Senator
Recently, National Park Trust had a big party to give Senator Susan Collins an award for all she has done to help parks. The Senator is from Maine, the home of Acadia National Park. Two of my friends, Brianna and Wrayzene, sixth graders at KIPP WILL Academy in Washington, D.C., talked about the Buddy Bison program at their school.
Brianna talked about her National Kids to Parks Day adventures, "With the Buddy Bison program I went on a hike with my mom and my aunt. We went to the Mason Neck State Park and learned how to read maps and how to survive in the wilderness. We even met Big Foot who taught us not to leave any trash behind. The hike gave my family and me, the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors more and to take every opportunity to exercise. Now, I keep Buddy Bison near me to remind me to explore all of our beautiful parks. "
Wrayzene said. " Buddy Bison has done so much for me, like letting me go on trips and learning important things that I never imagined I would have the chance to know about." She also talked about how much she enjoyed reading the National Geographic Mystery Series which is included in the Buddy Bison Toolkit and getting to meet the authors in a Skype interview, as well as her experiences canoeing on the Anacostia River and other field trips. Wrayzene summed up her experience, " I really love all that Buddy Bison has done for me and I wish to do more with him and give back to my community and the environment."
Brianna and Wrayzene gave Senator Collins her very own Buddy Bison and she loved it. The Senator even said she would introduce me, Buddy Bison to Minnie Moose from Maine! It's enough to make a Bison blush.
Watch the video of Brianna and Wrayzene's speeches!
Authors Teach KIPP DC WILL Academy Students about Parks
Students in the Buddy Bison program learn about national parks through Gloria Skurzynski and Alane Ferguson's National Geographic Mystery Books. Fifth graders from KIPP DC WILL Academy recently interviewed the authors via Skype. Here's what Cara-Lynn and Kristionie thought about the interview!
Written by Cara-Lynn;
It was a great experience to interview Gloria Skurzynski and Alane Ferguson. When my class interviewed them we found out about interesting things like how they write books together even though they both live in different places. We also learned what inspired them to write new stories. For example, Alane Ferguson said that what inspired her to become an author was watching her mother write children's books. We also learned that Mrs. Gloria Skurzynski has written many other interesting books. (Our class is excited to get some of these books!).
The class learned from the authors' books, and our chat with them encouraged us to go out and visit all the national parks there are out there. I want to visit the parks just like the authors did and research about all the animals that live on each! They really convinced me that reading is a great hobby because there is so much to learn and write about. I want to say thank you to them!
Written by Kristionie:
Hi my name is Kristionie, and I want to tell you about the two amazing authors my class interviewed using SKYPE. (Cool, huh?) After reading a mystery series all taking place at different national parks, we interviewed authors Gloria Skurzynski and Alane Ferguson. I am so happy I had the opportunity to meet them and ask them my favorite questions. My favorite part was when Mrs. Gloria told us about all the awards she has won. She told us how she won a chair as an award one time!
They really inspired me to read more and about many kinds of subjects. I am also thinking of changing my career from a scientist to a science and environmental author. By the way, I'm still reading the authors' books and hope I can ask them even more questions! Thank you!
Buddy Bison Students Invited for White House Announcement

Anacostia River is Launching Point for a Week of Outdoor Fun
Buddy Bison's friends from Wilderness Inquiry inMinnesotatraveled with their canoes to provide an urban wilderness canoe adventure to kids who live near and along theAnacostiaRiverinWashington,D.C.From Saturday November 13 to Thursday, November 18, students from Buddy Bisonschools KIPP D.C. WILL and KEY Academies (Washington, DC), Washington Latin Public Charter School (Washington, DC) , Jefferson Houston Elementary School(Alexandria, VA), Stokes School (Washington, DC), andE.L.HaynesPublicCharterSchool (Washington,DC) took their woolly friend out on the river as they learned more about the Anacostia in five hand-made Voyageur canoes.
Anesia from KIPPDC, KEYAcademywrote, On Saturday we went canoeing. We learned what pollution is and how to stop it. When we went I noticed a lot of trash (a.k.a. pollution) in the river. Me and the people on my canoe tried to help by picking it up. When we went we saw Buddy Bison. He is brown and looks like a bull. He is nice and respectful. I had a great time with my friends and kids from WILLAcademy, and they were respectful and nice.
The week of canoe trips was designated as a Let's Move Outside event by First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move initiative! Learn how you can move outside!
WashingtonLatin Public Charter School, KIPP D.C. WILL Academy, and E.W. Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School Hit the Trails
The North Face's Planet Explore invited kids and families out to hike Maryland and Virginia Trails last month—and the hike taken by many of our Buddy Bison students was featured on First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move blog!
All told, about 90 Washington Latin Public Charter School, KIPP D.C. WILL Academy, and E.W. Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School students and their families hiked a beautiful trail at Seneca Creek State Park. As one E.W. Stokes parent said, "the weekend was awesome! Beautiful location, beautiful lake, beautiful Stokes scholars, parents, siblings, extended family, staff, and board members. This is what it should all be about."

Horace Panter (born Stephen Graham Panter, 30 August 1953, Croydon, Surrey, England) also known as Sir Horace Gentleman, is the bassist for the Coventry 2 Tone, ska revival band The Specials. After spending most of his formative years in Kettering, Northamptonshire, Panter started a one-year art course at Northampton School in 1971, where he met many influential musicians. In 1972 he started studying fine art at Coventry's Lanchester Polytechnic, now known as Coventry University. In his second year there, he met Jerry Dammers, and soon they formed The Specials. The band started playing in Coventry bars and pubs. Following the break-up of The Specials in 1981, Panter went on to play with General Public, and then with the reformed Specials in the 1990s. Since then, Panter then played with Box of Blues, Blues To Go and took part in The Specials reunion concerts in 2009. He has also played with The Tones, as well as leading the Coventry Ska-Jazz Orchestra. He also taught art to special needs children in Corley Special School in north Warwickshire. He has written an autobiography, Ska'd for Life, in which he shared how he became introduced to the ska genre, and described his experiences since the band's creation.

U.S. Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski seemed almost giddy over the prospect of a light-rail line connecting Charles County to the Washington Metro during a Tuesday meeting with the county commissioners.
Mikulski (D-Md.) stopped by to "touch base," discuss the impact of federal "sequester" budget cuts and learn more about the county's priorities, including the light-rail project, associated transit-oriented development in Waldorf and the Gov. Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge.
Commissioners' Vice President Reuben B. Collins II (D) briefed Mikulski on the county's plan, in coordination with Prince George's County, to build an approximately 18-mile light-rail line from the Branch Avenue Metro station in Marlow Heights to White Plains, in hopes that it will spur an urban revival in Waldorf.
"Actually, this is very exciting," the senator said.
However, Mikulski said, the project has a long time to wait in the queue of transportation projects before completion of the state's "two big enchiladas" — the Baltimore Red Line and the Purple Line connecting Bethesda and New Carrolton.
In the meantime, the senator, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the county might be able to find funding for the project in the form of federal Community Development Block Grants, which can be used toward a variety of projects.
Commissioners' President Candice Quinn Kelly (D) said the county hopes its delegation's support of Gov. Martin O'Malley's (D) transportation bill during the 2013 legislation session will pay dividends.
Commissioner Ken Robinson (D) made his oft-repeated pitch for a new Nice Bridge, stating that is should be seen as a homeland security issue given that it is the only crossing of the Potomac River south of the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge in Oxon Hill.
"During any natural or other disaster in the national capital region, people suddenly look at the maps and say, 'How can I avoid D.C.,' and they look at [U.S.] 301," Robinson said. "[U.S.] 301 is a four-lane highway on both sides of the river, but when you get to the bridge, it's a [two]-lane bridge with no shoulder, and so something as simple as a flat tire will tie up traffic for miles."
"That's a good argument," Mikulski said, adding later, "It should be viewed as America's bridge, not a state bridge, not a county bridge."
She also acknowledge the need for a new Gov. Thomas Johnson Memorial Bridge linking Calvert and St. Mary's counties.
The senator said that an Internet sales tax could generate an annual $170 million for transportation projects in Maryland.
Congress is scheduled to vote on whether to allow states to implement a sales tax on online transactions next week, she said. If it passes and Maryland implements the tax, Mikulski said she hopes the revenue would be earmarked for transportation.
Commissioner Debra M. Davis (D) briefed the senator on the county's Vision 2020 anti-poverty initiative, which Davis has spearheaded.
Mikulski also suggested CDBG as a potential funding source for the homeless shelter Kelly said the county wants to open in Waldorf.
"You have very solid plans, and you obviously have the will," Mikulski said. "You're looking for some help in the wallet."
The senator also said the county's geography "should be an asset," but seemingly hasn't been.
"You're next a really big county called Prince George's. You're next to a really big city called Washington, D.C. You're next to a real big river called the Potomac, and you're treated like you're Wicomico [or Garrett]," she quipped.
"You are more than welcome to open up an office in our new Waldorf Urban Redevelopment Corridor," Robinson said. "You seem like a great cheerleader for us."
Mikulski was also pleased to hear about the business incubator coming to Waldorf, which she said seemed similar to the NASA-run incubator in Baltimore's Canton neighborhood that helped fill the void left by the departure of a large canning company.
As for the looming federal budget cuts known as sequestration, the senator said steps have been taken to delay the impact until June or July.
Mikulski stated that "there will be ramifications," particularly in education with cuts to Title I, Title II and special education funding, as well furloughs to government workers, including the thousands of civilian military personnel at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indian Head and the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in St. Mary's County.
"I'm so upset about this, because when you listen to the excellent work that they do, to protect our warfighters, to protect the homeland … we should be pinning medals on them instead of furlough slips," she said.
Kelly pointed out that the county, with a newly expanded runway at Maryland Airport in Indian Head, is trying to work alongside St. Mary's County and Pax River to secure a grant for the region to become a Federal Aviation Administration-designated testing site for nonmilitary applications of unmanned aerial vehicles.
"So what you're telling me is that whatever helps St. Mary's County," Mikulski began.
"Helps us," Kelly finished.

Prince Fatty - Supersize
The second album from reggae master Prince Fatty.
Renowned sound engineer and record producer Mike 'Prince Fatty' Pelanconi has been a prominent member of the reggae and dub scene in the UK since the mid-90s. Finding himself frustrated by the tempos and mixes of certain records he loved, typified by DJing one time after Don Letts who had already played half his selection, he set about recording his own versions with a super group of London's finest reggae musicians.
"I have worked with many of the UK-based reggae musicians at one point or another so I went about selecting the best possible musicians from my experiences with two criteria in mind: the best skills and the most vibe. At the same time my Dub Supervisor and Reggae Jedi aka Little Roy and I had started to record tracks for his new album and I found myself recording reggae every day. The Pioneers were dropping by my studio, Al Capone was cutting specials and singers like Winston Francis were just hanging out."
As well as versions of favourite reggae and soul songs, two tracks stand out: covers of Ol' Dirty Bastard's Shimmy Shimmy Ya and Cypress Hill's Insane in the Brain.
"I was sad when Ol' Dirty passed away and for me the great hip hop era ended with him. I cut the version of Shimmy Shimmy Ya soon after he died. As a tribute we often hold a minute's silence when Horseman and I perform it live. We did Insane In The Brain for fun as we had a show supporting Madness. The nutty boys challenged us to a sound clash and they lost. Though we played a dirty hand, they were gracious in defeat."
The vocal line-up on the album also include Hollie Cook - Slits singer, daughter of Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook and fellow Mr Bongo signing. Also on the album is a dub of That Very Night that features on Hollies debut album.
Prince Fatty's 2007 debut album Survival Of The Fattest achieved widespread critical acclaim from the music press and was supported across BBC Radio, resulting in a raucous live session on Mark Lamar's show. Favouring recording on vintage equipment to preserve his signature sound, Pelanconi's unique style has attracted the likes ofLily Allen, Graham Coxon, Little Barrie, Gregory Isaacs and Sinead O'Connor to work with him. He has recently opened his own studio, The Ironworks, in Brighton.
Please note the vinyl album tracklist differs due to length of the recording.
1. Winston Francis – Dry Your Tears / 2. Little Roy & Alcapone – Still I Wanna Love You / 3. Horseman –Shimmy Shimmy Ya / 4. Hollie Cook And Alcapone – That Very Night In Dub / 5. Little Roy – Need It / 6. Natty – Bedroom Eyes Dub / 7. Winston Francis – Ain't Got Time / 8. Little Roy – Christopher Colombus / 9. Winston Francis & Horseman – Come On Girl Disco Mix / 10. Little Roy – Roof Over My Head Dub / 11. Horseman – Insane In The Brain

Lauding Americans' increased outpouring to service members, their families and veterans, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, have vowed to continue leading the Joining Forces initiative during the next four years with a goal of creating a national culture of appreciation and support.
The mission of Joining Forces is "to rally this nation to support our military families to make sure that we are supporting them – our troops and our veterans – as well as they have supported us," Obama said during an exclusive interview with Marine Corps SSgt. Josh Hauser, a Pentagon Channel correspondent.
"Our belief is that everyone can do something," she said. "And we have seen the country step up in ways big and small."
Joining Forces has mobilized every sector of society by encouraging employers to hire veterans and military family members, promoting efforts to cut through red tape to transfer professional licenses as military spouses move between states with their loved ones, and giving teachers the tools to help military children, the first lady noted.
"People have really reached out, and we have gotten such great response. We feel pretty good about that," Biden said. "And we are going to continue this for the next four years – to keep pushing that and plugging away. … We hope this continues in our culture for years to come."
As they prepared to kick off the presidential inauguration weekend by hosting a tribute to military families Jan. 19, Obama and Biden told Hauser they've seen increasing understanding among the American people of the contributions and sacrifices service members and their families make every day.
"There is growing appreciation, but I think there is still more work to do," Obama said. "We want to keep shining that spotlight."
Recognizing the end of U.S. military operations in Iraq and the drawdown in Afghanistan, the first lady said support for service members, veterans and military families is more important than ever.
"That is not when it ends. That is when it begins," Obama said. "Because as families are making that transition to civilian life, it is going to be more important than ever before for us to show them how valued they are to us – and not just in words, but in deeds."
Obama and Biden said they are struck as they meet with military families by their strength and resilience, and the maturity and adaptability of military children.
"They are learning to juggle responsibilities, dealing with their emotions and dealing with the highs and lows of life in very stressful, emotional conditions," she said. "And they are succeeding. They are successful, smart, bright young people."
The skills they are learning now will give them a leg up when they face other challenges in life, and an appreciation of the tradition of service that has made America great, Obama said.
"Our military kids are the best that the country has to offer. So we want to make sure they know this, and they can talk about their skills in a positive way," she said. "And we want to make sure the country can appreciate and understand the uniqueness that these kids bring to any task, to any group, to any situation, so that we embrace that."

"Taxideremia" contains three generational stories, about a grandfather, a father, and a son, linked together by recurring motifs. The dim grandfather, an orderly during World War Two, lives in his bizarre fantasies; he desires love. The huge father seeks success as a top athlete -- a speed eater -- in the post-war pro-Soviet era. The grandson, a meek, small-boned taxidermist, yearns for something greater: immortality. He wants to create the most perfect work of art of all time by stuffing his own torso. Historical facts and surrealism become intertwined as magical realism, like in the works of Gabriel García Marquez or the Hungarian writer Lajos Parti Nagy; the script is based on two of the latter's stories. Palfi added the third story, that of the grandson the taxidermist.
