One of the most dangerous investment plays for value-oriented investors is an apparently cheap stock of a company that is seeing a serious and significant reordering of its business and industry. That covers for-profit education company Apollo Group (Nasdaq:APOL) rather well, and I admit that I got sucked into what looked like a low valuation combined with a quality company built to last. The stock is down almost one-third since my late January optimism, and though the long-term outlook for the company is still solid, it's clear that this story is going to take time to work.

Fiscal Third Quarter Results Aren't all That Strong
While Apollo Group did surpass analyst expectations for its fiscal third quarter, that doesn't mean the results was strong. Revenue fell 8.5% and the company saw a double-digit decline in enrollment (down 13%) and an 8% reported decline in new starts (while underlying new starts were down about 5%).
Profitability was also much lower. Apollo Group is increasing its spending on student advisory and career counseling services, and instructional/advisory costs increased almost 3% from last year despite the lower enrollment figures. That pushed gross margin down four and a half points, while operating income fell by one-third.
SEE: Zooming In On Net Operating Income
GE Data not Likely to Matter Much
The Department of Education released its gainful employment (GE) data early Tuesday morning, and the data seems broadly positive for the sector. Education Management (Nasdaq:EDMC) has already pointed to what it believes are errors in the data (inaccurately low debt levels), and it's probable that analysts and companies are going to find additional objections. That said, for companies like DeVry (NYSE:DV), Education Management and ITT Educational Services (NYSE:ESI), the data is at least a "no bad news is good news" situation.
For Apollo, the data doesn't really matter all that much. Analysts expected the company would be in good shape, and it looks like there was only one problematic program out of the 100 or so that was part of the evaluation.
When will the Growth Return?
Clearly there has been a big shift in the for-profit education industry. While some may point to the scandal and kerfuffle over poor graduation, employment and debt repayment rates (which spurred a widely-publicized government investigation), I don't know if many prospective students paid close attention to that.
What I do think is relevant is the high unemployment rate, the resistance of some banks to issue student loans and the growing skepticism about the value of for-profit degrees. Unemployment may offer up the time to take classes, but it takes away income and also the confidence that investments in career development are worthwhile. Moreover, I suspect that a lot of for-profit education is undertaken with an eye towards promotion and improved earnings potential as opposed to finding a job.
Whatever the case, enrollment rates are not good in the industry. That could play well for American Public Education (Nasdaq:APEI) with its orientation towards the military and its low tuition costs, and perhaps Grand Canyon Education (Nasdaq:LOPE) with its greater focus on nursing and healthcare (which has seen lower job loss in the recession). I'll also be curious to see how this works out for Universal Technical Institute (NYSE:UTI); this stock is not well-liked by sell-side analysts and analysts have been coming down, but I wonder if a company that skews younger will do better.
SEE: Student Loans: Loan Repayment
The Bottom Line
The boom in for-profit education is certainly past, and it remains to be seen whether the industry will yet need to go through a wringing-out process where companies close up shop or pursue survival-by-merger strategies. Certainly there is no shortage of programs and providers out there.
I still believe that Apollo Group will be one of the survivors, but its status as the largest company may make sector-leading growth more difficult. Improving employment and worker confidence would help enrollment, but it looks like 2012 is going to be another year of readjustment and reestablishing expectations for the "new normal."
These shares still look cheap, but then they did 15 points ago as well. Certainly these are not shares for the risk-averse, but even low single-digit free cash flow growth would suggest that these shares offer above-average potential over the long term.

If your experience is the same as mine, the Republicans will almost universally predict that Hillary Clinton will be the candidate. But the Democrats, oddly enough, will be much more doubtful.
For Republicans, Hillary Clinton is just about as offensive as a Democrat can get. But they not only detest her -- they fear her. They know how she steamrolled her way into the U.S. Senate in 2000. They have yet to find any serious Republican candidate willing to stand up and take a licking at her hands when she runs for re-election this year. They know that she is piling up a formidable war chest for her presidential bid in 2008. And they realize, ruefully, that she has, in Bill Clinton, the best campaign manager in the business. Already he has piloted her toward the center of the political spectrum, from her previous position on the far left. Finally, her name-recognition is near-total.To be sure, there are some other Democratic politicians sniffing the winds of 2008. Grover Norquist, a Republican strategist, has dismissed them, however, as "six or seven emasculated senators (who will) pretend to run for president while actually auditioning for vice president," and he is probably right. Sen. John Kerry might regard the vice presidential nomination as beneath him. But former Sen. John Edwards accepted it once, and would certainly accept it again. And so, too, in all likelihood, would such other possible players as former Gov. Mark Warner of Virginia and Gov. Tom Vilsack of Iowa. No wonder Republicans are inclined to think that Hillary will take the 2008 Democratic convention the way Grant took Richmond.
But Democrats -- at least the ones I have talked to -- are less certain. Propose Hillary as their likely nominee, and they will roll the idea around in their minds as if it were an interesting thought that had just occurred to them. They don't reject her; they simply don't forthrightly endorse her. If you press them a bit, asking the reason for their reluctance, they don't cite any of her policy positions as objectionable. Instead, they are likely to say that they're just not certain she could win the general election. And that is, of course, a thoroughly legitimate consideration.

Quick stop in Clearwater.
... The sand was lovely and white and the sea was very hot. It is the Mexican gulf sea so that is probably why. In fact it was so hot it was warmer than outside. It was like a jacuzzi. So we swam in it for a while till we were too hot and had to sit in the sun to cool us down haha. After around maybe two hours a big cloud came over and it looked like it was going to rain. So we left the beach early and went back to the silly lady to give her her money. We went to ...

This is the fourth year my daughter has had this backpack, she loves it. Every year I offer to buy a new one and she refuses. The first year the handle did snap in two, but I ordered a replacement for $X and it has been good as new ever since. We also have the matching lunch box and that has seen a lot of action and it still going strong. This company makes a great product.
Backpack broke after 5 months. My daughter carries all of her books in it because her school has no lockers. First the strap tore then both straps broke away from the base of the backpack. Hope to get something back on my "lifetime" warranty.
Very durable backpack, arrived on time, and survived a full year of rough use - way longer than any other backpack we have purchased.
- How accurate was the sizing? perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very good
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes

I baked these and my guests loved them! I was especting a crowd and didn't have time to stand over a frying pan. Here's how I did it: I spread the tortillas with chive onion cream cheese as suggested by a previous reviewer. Then after rolling up the asparagus, I took a bit of melted butter and brushed the outside of the tortilla, especially at the seam. (I skipped the egg.) This went very quickly. Then I baked the rolls for 8 min. at 500. Much less time and much less fat.flag if inappropriate
We loved this the first time I made it. However, the second time was even better as I spread the tortilla with onion & chive cream cheese. Then put a slice of turkey or ham on the cheese. Rolled up and followed directions per recipe. Also made with corn tortillas. I liked the flavor best with these, however, they don't roll as easily and therefore don't look as nice. Both ways are great!flag if inappropriate
I took the advise of past reviewers and added parm prior to rolling. It went along easily however the end result was not impressive. One piece of advise: warm the tortillas in the microwave for 30 secs for easier rolling.flag if inappropriate
Good and tasty- but more work than it was worth. The party guests liked them, though.flag if inappropriate
These are very good, and people love them. I sprinkle a little parmesan cheese inside the tortilla before I roll. Have got to have FRESH tortilla's otherwise they break if they are stale. For answer to previous question. They are a deep fried food, I think they are only good fresh although I had someone that ate them the next day out of the fridge and said they were good. But I would not think they could be made and rewarmed. They would just be soggy and warm. Well worth making.flag if inappropriate
Wasn't able to roll the asparagus. Tortila kept breaking. BAD!!!!!!flag if inappropriate
Question for cooks: can these be made in advance and re-heated?flag if inappropriate
Simple, unusual & so easy to prepare. Always add romano or parmesan cheese to egg mixture. Always a hit! Everyone always comments and they disappear quickly.flag if inappropriate
Not so easy to make if you're in a hurry, but definitely worth the effort. Teenage kids and adults enjoyed!!flag if inappropriate
I made these for a large group and they went over wonderfully. It is defintely all about the presentation and dipping sauce.flag if inappropriate

The true story of one of the most successful pop-metal bands of the 80s. All born in England, the group first found success at home and then, with the help of producer Mutt Lange, they began to top the US charts. Although problems with drug and alcohol addiction took their toll, it was not until a car accident took the arm of the group's drummer that the party came to a halt. Faced with the potential death of the group and pressure to find a new drummer, the group banded together and encouraged their mate to learn how to play with one arm and re-join Def Leppard. They went on to sell over 14 million albums during their next tour.

Villaraigosa Denies Record-High Spending, Staffing In Mayoral Office
Using the language of our headline earlier this week, KNX 1070 Newsradio asked Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Wednesday if he indeed "Has The Biggest, Most-Expensive Mayor's Office In Decades." Of course, he denied it, but he didn't really answer the question.
Rather, Mayor V., ever slick, noted to the station that his office, including staff salaries, has taken a 10 percent cut this fiscal year, and that his people have seen more furlough days than those of any other city department. That's nice. Seriously. But it doesn't address the point: Villaraigosa's office has spent more money than either of his predecessors, Jim Hahn and Richard Riordan. On that point he was mum.
Our report simply pointed to the good work of Isaias Alvarado at La Opinion (English translation), who found that the mayor at one point had a decades-high office budget of $9 million. Even after recent cutbacks, Mayor V.'s operations employ 173 workers versus 121 for Hahn and 114 for Riordan, according to Alvarado.
Mayor V. has 12 deputy mayors, 10 financial advisers, eight communication advisers, seven energy-and-environment advisers, six transportation advisers and three international-trade advisers.
La Opinion found that personnel managers make as much as $170,000 a year, legislative leaders make up to $160,000, and deputy mayors go as high as $148,000. Remember, here, that the city is facing a $212 million-and-counting deficit as well as the specter of 4,000 layoffs. Police staffing is already suffering as a result of the budget crisis.
Oh, and by the way, Villaraigosa told Fox 11 News Tuesday night that if you want a pothole fixed, you're on your own: The city doesn't have the money to expedite road repairs.

Man suffers head wound during home invasion; pair of laptops stolen
KNOXVILLE — An apparent home invasion on Highland Avenue late Tuesday night left one person with a head injury and a pair of laptops stolen, according to Knoxville Police Department Sgt. Scott Coffey.
At 11:44, residents at the location reported that a pair of men in dark hooded sweatshirts came in through their front door and took the two computers.
In the process, one of the intruders apparently struck one of the residents in the head with his gun, requiring him to be taken to the hospital for treatment, according to Sgt. Coffey.
Knoxville's Major Crimes department is investigating the incident, and anyone with information is asked to call the KPD Drug/Crime hotline at 865-215-7212.

Perrone's Pub in Overbrook offers neighborhood tavern feel
Perrone's Pub, at 1400 Harrison Ave., is gaining a local reputation for its steak sandwiches and pizza.
Owner Dominic Perrone said it is because everything they serve is homemade, including the pizza dough.
The pub was opened seven years ago by Dominic and Trina Perrone. It is a small pub located in the Overbrook neighborhood of Jeannette and heavily patronized by people from that area.
"We have lots of regular customers," said Trina Perrone. "It is a neighborhood bar — everybody knows everybody so it is a nice atmosphere."
Both the Perrones are from Westmoreland County. Dominic Perrone attended Greensburg Central Catholic High School and then graduated as a chef from the Culinary Institute of Pittsburgh, which is now known as the Le Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts at the William Penn.
Trina Perrone attended Norwin High School and then the Bradford School of Business, where she trained as a paralegal. She still works two days per week in that field. The couple has one daughter, Marley, 5.
Over the years, Dominic Perrone worked as a chef at various venues including the Sheraton and Bobby Dales.
"I always bartended on weekends for extra money and he always wanted to have this kind of business because he went to school for it," said Trina Perrone
While Dominic Perrone takes care of the kitchen, Trina Perrone manages the bar. The couple also employs two bartenders and a dishwasher. Prior to opening the business in Jeannette, the Perrones had a restaurant in North Huntingdon, but were then able to purchase their current location.
The couple would like to add an additional room to the pub in the future to make more dining space and Dominic Perrone said he would also like to be able to have outdoor dining space.
In addition to the specialty steak sandwich — made with a hand-cut rib eye steak — Perrone's Pub specializes in hand-tossed pizza and jumbo whole wings. Hours are 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., Mondays through Saturdays, and 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Sundays. Patrons can either eat in or order take-out.

Hi, Jim -
I am also looking to make the next move in my career. Here are a couple of things given to me by a well-respected educator who once served as the superintendent for many years in my district. I am happy to share. First, he provided three entry plans, suggesting that one may be more suitable for certain personalities than others:
1. Timeframe 90-120 days (July 1 to September 30)
2. Objectives (5-7):
* To acquaint myself with key people associated with the school.
* Identify key instructional issues of the school.
* Identify the climate and culture of the school.
* Identify the key non-instructional issues of the school.
* Identify key issues of superintendent, staff, parents, and community.
* Develop tentative plan with timeline to deal with key issues. Do this with input from others.
3. Develop questions for meetings and decide where you will look to get needed information
Theme: Listen, learn, and improve
Purpose: Increase confidence in academic success of school
Goals: List the major goals of the entry plan
1. Meet with all staff members to establish relationships and get their input on school strengths and needs.
Some plans are very simple and straight forward and breakdown plan with a day by day schedule.
Day 1-5 Organization:
* Set up and organize office
* Meet with office staff
* Walk school with janitors
Day 6-15 Gather information:
* Meet with all teachers
* Meet with parents and key community leaders
* Meet with people from district office
* Meet with superintendent
* Review relevant school data
Day 16-20 Study data:
* Review information gathered from meetings
* Review test data
* Review report card information
* Review school surveys
* Review suspension/expulsion data
* Review school retention rate
* Review personnel files
Day 20-25 Sharing information
Entry Plan Points
1. Read, study, discuss-find out as much as you can about the school. Pay attention to things like academics, staff, demographics, finance, etc...
2. Decide the key people you need to talk with to get a sense about what is happening at the school and the perception others have about the school. Do this even if you have been at the school as an assistant principal.
3. Develop a list of questions you want to ask the key people in the school community.
4. Conduct your interviews-make sure these meetings are low-keyed meetings set in a comfortable environment. Know that some of the responses may be guarded and not totally accurate.
5. Review the data and interpret the results. What did you discover?
6. Communicate the results to the appropriate people.
7. Develop action plan complete with timeline. This should be done with input from others. Go slow!
Hope this helps your thinking as you prepare to move forward...

From: Gilmer, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Compost and Mulch, Planting, Soils, Shrubs
Title: Landscaping help for Gilmer, TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:We have just moved to the beautiful hot state of Texas from warm California and we need some help! Our roses are dying, we have a patch about 25ft. by 3ft. that gets the rain run off like a little stream, what kind of plant/flower can help absorb the water puddles and it's in a semi shady area? Can you recommend any particular landscape co. and or magazine to help us with our new area. There is much to do and I really love the cottage look. Thank you
Your question was pretty complex, so we'll try to deal with it in pieces. First, welcome to Texas. You're going to find gardening here different from gardening in California.
Okay, you say your roses are dying, and then that a patch gets rain runoff. Are the roses in that patch? Did you just plant the roses or were they there when you moved in? If the roses are standing in rain water, they are planted in the wrong place. They need good drainage, and no underplant is going to absorb water to protect the rose roots. If you just planted the roses, you picked a bad time. In Texas, November is a much better time to plant them, from containers purchased from a reputable nursery. And a semi-shady area is also wrong for roses, they really like the sun. In a shady area they will not prosper as well, and will tend to get mildew. Read this Southern Garden article by Dr. William C. Welch on Rose Culture. Also, please refer to this Mr. Smarty Plants previous answer on rose culture, which has a link in it to a Texas A&M website on pests of roses.
Let's talk a little more about the rain runoff area. If that is from a gutter downspout or is under a roof dripline, you probably need to divert the water onto a lawn area before you try to grow any plants there. In Gilmer, in northeast Texas, you should have a pretty sandy, acidic soil. The sand will help in drainage, but it can drain too fast and leave roots dry. The acidic soil is great for hydrangeas, blueberries and azaleas, but not so good for roses. After you have diverted the potential flow of water from the bed, we suggest that you do some amending of the soil. First, determine the drainage by a quick test. Run water on a spot until the water reaches the surface and puddles. If it takes more than half an hour to drain, you have a clay soil, which may also be alkaline. Regardless, tilling a good compost or other organic matter into the soil will help with the drainage as well as with the texture of the soil.
At the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, we are devoted to the care and propagation of plants native to North America and the area in which they are growing. A native plant is well-adapted to the environment and will require less water, fertilizer and maintenance. If you need help with your landscaping or a source for native plants for your landscape, go to the Native Plant Suppliers section of our website, type your town and state in the Enter Search Location box, and you will get a list of native plant nurseries, seed companies and landscape consultants in your general area.
Finally, on the subject of magazines, we would recommend the Wildflower, a magazine published quarterly by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. It is available by subscription or as a benefit of membership in the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Go to the magazine site to get details and also to find out about membership.
We realize we probably didn't answer all your questions. We suggest you contact the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, Upshur County for more information on soil types, rainfall, pest control, etc.

Bucharest Java User Group: Launched and Growing!
The Bucharest Java User Group is up and running in Bucharest, Romania! The JUG held its fourth meeting (see picture) on August 23. The group's first meeting was held on May 24. In a message to the Java.net JUG Leaders email list, Bucharest JUG leader Ioan Eugen Stan noted: "We've started a JUG in Bucharest and we're doing well. We've just held
our 4'th edition and there is a huge interest."
That's a great way to start!
Thus far, each meeting has featured three presentations! That's quite an impressive start for a new Java User Group. I'll guess that in part this is because Java is a very important technology in Romania. According to the web traffic analysis site Alexa.com, Romania ranks 28th among the world's nations in Java.net's audience (though Romania ranks 59th in population). But also, finding three people each month to give presentations surely attests to the organizational skills of Bucharest JUG's leadership.
Thus far, the presentation topics have included Guava, Maven 3, Apache James, open-source Java developers, Apache Sling, JAAS, Trove, secure Web apps, writing clean code, Eclipse Modeling Framework, and Sikuli. Some time after each meeting, the presentations are published online, and the links are published on the Bucharest JUG web site.
The Bucharest Java User Group has a Google Group with an email list, and they also have a github repository. The Bucharest JUG Java.net project was started in August.
The JUG defines its mission in its invitation to potential new members:
Welcome! If you are a passionate developer using either Java, Scala, Groovy, Clojure, JRuby or any other language based on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) you are in the right place. Our plan is to organise a monthly face to face meeting with 2-3 presentations starting around 7PM and later on move to a pub for drinks.
Sounds like fun! Welcome, and congratulations, Bucharest JUG!

Fiscal Year 1998 Obligations for Fossil Energy Programs
RCED-99-284R: Published: Sep 14, 1999. Publicly Released: Oct 14, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6877
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO compared the actual fiscal year (FY) 1998 obligations for the Department of Energy's (DOE) Fossil Energy Research and Development (R&D) Program and the Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program with the estimated obligations that were previously reported.
GAO noted that: (1) DOE's FY 1998 appropriations provided about $362 million for the Fossil Energy R&D Program and rescinded about $101 million of the related Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program; (2) last year, DOE estimated that its obligations for the two programs during FY 1998 would be $581.3 million; (3) during FY 1998, the Fossil Energy R&D Program obligated about 1 percent less money than had been estimated; (4) the Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program obligated the same amount of money that DOE had estimated would be obligated; and (5) within the Fossil Energy R&D Program, the increase or decrease in obligations varied by program as well as by phase of R&D.

Natural gas doesn't get enough respect.
Two reports – one on last winter's outage and another on the future of natural gas – make that clear.
This month independent investigator Michael Johnson verified that February's natural gas outage, which left 28,707 customers without heat during an arctic blast, unfolded the way New Mexico Gas Company said it did. Fancy that.
The company said at the time that freeze-outs in the Permian and San Juan natural gas basins, combined with rolling blackouts in Texas, kept producers and processing plants from delivering gas into pipelines and allowed pressure in the system to fall.
In the San Juan Basin, 20 percent of gas production was off line because of weather, Johnson reported.
In the Permian Basin, electric outages shut down compressors and plants, which had no other backup.
We now know the company shut off gas to some communities rather than see the whole system go down.
While there were some preventive measures employees might have taken, the circumstances were largely beyond their control.
The state Public Regulation Commission hired Johnson, retired chairman and CEO of Conoco Gas and Power and a New Mexico Aggie geologist, to study the disaster.

I was looking for a rule of thumb for allocating objects on stack or heap in C++. I have found many discussions here on SO. Many people said, it's about the lifetime of an object. If you need more lifetime than the scope of the function, put it in the heap. That makes perfect sense.
But what made me confusing is, many people said, allocate objects to stack if they are small. If objects are big, put it to heap. But none of them said how to identify an object is big or not?
I have the following questions,
- How to identify an object is big or not?
- What will be the stack maximum size? Each OS will have different stack size?
- I have a wrapper class which wraps vector<string>. It will have around 100 items. Will it make a stack overflow if I allocate this class to a stack? I tried this, but it worked perfectly. Not sure I am doing something wrong.
Any thought?

Attention Twihards, it's time to give back.
The director of Breaking Dawn: Part 2 is issuing a challenge to Twilight fans during the cheating crisis for stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
"The fact is, these are actors playing parts, and maybe it's not such a bad thing that people be reminded of that, Bill Condon tells Entertainment Weekly in this week's issue. "Both of these actors gave heart and soul to the Twilight movies, not only during shooting, but also by navigating so graciously the whole life-in-a-fishbowl aspect of the phenomenon."
"Above all they have always shown great respect for the fans who made these movies such a success. Now it s time that some of that respect be returned to them," he said.

His record as a talent evaluator as general manager of the Raiders and Buccaneers is a mixed bag of success and woeful failures. But now, at least, the dysfunction that permeates Redskin Park might disappear.
Will that translate to a new era of success on the field? Hard to say until the Redskins make one more key addition - a new head coach.
Asked about speculation that his partner in Oakland and Tampa Bay, former coach Jon Gruden, will join him in Washington, Allen said, "We don't have an opening at that position."
Technically, they don't.
Zorn said, "We hope to have many conversations and hope we can be compatible."
They would have to be awfully compatible - Laurel and Hardy compatible - for Zorn to have a chance to stay.
That's not going to happen.
Allen said he met with Zorn and that "we're going to have some more meetings to discuss the future."
To be fair to Cerrato, nearly everyone operated on Thursday as if Zorn didn't exist.
Speculation that Gruden would leave his current job with ESPN in the "Monday Night Football" booth to join Allen with Washington ran rampant.
There was no factual basis for the speculation, just assumptions resting on the shared past of Allen and Gruden. Just last month, ESPN announced Gruden had signed a multiyear contract extension to stay with the network.
There also was speculation that former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan would replace Zorn when the season ends and work with Allen.
Wishful thinking? Perhaps.
Once the euphoria of Cerrato's departure passes, a new reality will set in: Unless the franchise adds a powerful, high-profile coach with an influential voice in the organization, the highlight of Bruce Allen's career with the Redskins might be recognizing Bubba Tyer.

With players dropping left and right on the court Saturday night, it would have been conceivable for the Dodge City Community College Conquistadors to shut things down and lick their wounds against Cloud County.
Not this group of warriors.
The Conqs overcame adversity and picked up their third consecutive victory by shutting down the visiting Thunderbirds 79-69 inside United Wireless Arena.
"Were guarding, it's as simple as that," said head coach Brady Trenkle. "On offense, we're sharing the ball and on defense, we're guarding. We're getting down, and we are doing what we have been practicing all year.
"You had to go through what we just went through — we hit rock bottom. You define yourself on how you pull out of that when you're six feet under like we were."
Making a comeback
It has been a rocky month for the men, as they dropped six straight games beginning in January to send them from the top of the division to near the bottom, but a renewed fervor in defense has this team playing some of its best basketball of the season. That was once again evident during their meeting with Cloud, which was only a couple of games ahead of the Conqs in the conference.
Saturday's battle between Dodge and the T-Birds began like any other Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference contest, with both squads exchanging blows on each end of the floor. The Conqs would pull away for an early lead, as Tramel White and Tony Phillips began to work the interior of the Cloud defense.
However, things would become a little more difficult as Dodge City's leading scorer, R.J. McGhee, went down with an injury very early in the first half. After a turnover from the Conqs had the T-Birds running a fast break for a bucket, McGhee got a good jump on the Cloud player and went up for the block. But he landed awkwardly on the floor, which had McGhee moaning in discomfort.
So down another player, the Conqs looked to maintain their slim lead over the Thunderbirds, but that advantage slowly dwindled down. But with Tyshon Pickett coming off the bench for the first time this season, the Conqs continued to slow down Cloud's offense, as they went into the locker room with a 35-28 lead.
McGhee returned to action in the second half, but the Thunderbirds had other ideas as they exploded to bring the game within one at 49-48 with eight minutes remaining in the second half. But, enter Pickett, who showed why he is one of the premier forwards in the entire KJCCC.
After a basket from Pickett, Cloud once again closed the gap, but a thunderous slam dunk from Pickett got the crowd jumping and silenced the Thunderbird faithful. Once he got the momentum in Dodge City's favor, Pickett took over around the rim and even showcased some dribbling skills and a deft mid-range game.
Page 2 of 3 - "We mixed up the lineup tonight, and Tyshon has been in foul trouble almost every single game since we've gotten back, so I talked to him and told him to sit down and watch how the flow of the game went and see how they are calling things," Trenkle said. "We all know what Tyshon can do. It just comes down to having him on the floor, because in games like we had against Pratt, he fouled out in 14 minutes. We need him out there for 25 minutes or more, and when he is, things are going to happen for us."
Behind Pickett's dominating performance, the Conqs went on a 19-7 run to put the game out of reach, despite watching White go down with a hard fall to the court late in the second half. He would return a little later on to sink a couple shots to seal the win for Dodge City.
The Conqs were led by Pickett, who recorded another double-double with 26 points and 14 rebounds, which also included three blocked shots. Three other Conqs scored in double digits, as White had 15, Phillips had 11 and McGhee finished with 10. As a unit, Dodge City shot 45 percent for the contest while holding Cloud County to 32 percent.
The win improves the Conqs to 6-7 overall in the KJCCC with three games remaining in their regular season. The next game is a Wednesday meeting with the number-one team in the West Division, Seward County.
"The kids will have a day off on Monday, but then we'll be right back into practice, doing the same thing we've been doing these last three wins," Trenkle said. "We haven't changed anything. Our game plan hasn't changed, it's simplifying things for this team. For Seward, we have to be ready for different personnel, and that's the key. Right now, it's just game by game."
Looking for a win
As for the Lady Conqs, they continue to search for ways to pick up their first conference win after suffering another setback Saturday against Cloud County, dropping their 14th in a row with a 66-49 loss.
Dodge City fell in a hole early on against the Lady Thunderbirds, as 24 percent shooting in the first half had them trailing 31-19 by the halftime intermission. Despite only shooting 28 percent itself, Cloud County was able to get to the free-throw line 14 times to help extend the lead over the Conqs.
The second half would begin much better for head coach Lucas McDonald's squad as they clamped down defensively, going on an early 4-0 run while holding the Thunderbirds without a point for the first three minutes.
However, for every run that the Conqs had in them, Cloud County had an answer to erase any progress that Dodge City had made earlier on. As soon as the Conqs had the deficit down to single digits deep into the second half, the Thunderbirds would respond with a three-pointer and a couple quick strikes to extend the lead back into an untouchable range.
Page 3 of 3 - Despite the best efforts of Je'nae Strong, Laquaris Harris and Jazmin Villa, the Conqs just did not have enough fuel in the tank to come back for the win. Foul shots from Cloud County down the stretch gave the T-Birds their winning margin at the end of the game.
The Conqs were led by Strong with 19 points and six rebounds, while Harris finished with 11 points and five rebounds.
The loss drops the Conqs to 0-13 in the KJCCC and 8-19 overall, with their next game on Wednesday against a 20-5 Seward County squad.
Wednesday's contests with Seward are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. for the Lady Conqs and 8 p.m. for the men in Liberal.

She's a busy girl with a bustling career, and yet Taylor Swift still finds time to get married and buy a massive Los Angeles estate- at least that's what the press would have us think.
This week, OK! Magazine reported that the "Shake It Off" songstress got hitched to Calvin Harris, while Variety claimed that she dropped $25 million on the Samuel Goldwyn estate in Beverly Hills.
No stranger to collecting trophies, Taylor Swift won a Creative Arts Emmy Award in the Original Interactive Program category for her AMEX Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience project on Saturday (September 12).
The "Style" songstress, who is currently on the road with her 1989 World Tour, couldn't stop gushing over the honor via social media and made sure to post plenty of snapshots throughout the day.
It was only a matter of time before she conquered the social media realm, and now Taylor Swift is the undisputed champion of Instagram.
The "Style" songstress just surpassed previous leader Kim Kardashian by amassing more than 45.5 million followers, half a million more than the "Disaster Movie" dame's current record.
She's clearly the biggest entertainer in the world these days, and Taylor Swift shows no signs of slowing down. So it's no surprise she tops the newly-released "Powers That Be" list from Vanity Fair.
While most of her devoted followers are perfectly safe and sane, once in awhile Taylor Swift comes across a crazy devotee who can't seem to follow the rules.
On Saturday night (August 29) the "Shake It Off" songstress gave a sold-out concert at Petco Park in San Diego when 26-year-old Christian Ewing charged the stage and was immediately tackled by four beefy bodyguards.
Trying out a brunette coif, Taylor Swift stars in the new clip for her single "Wildest Dreams" along with hunky costar Scott Eastwood.
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress debuted the music video during the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards pre-show, channeling the golden age of Hollywood cinema and set in Africa.
Putting another year of craziness in the history books, the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards took over the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night (August 30).
Following a string of sold-out nights at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Taylor Swift brought out a slew of pals for her grand finale on Wednesday (August 26).
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" babe invited her BFF Selena Gomez to debut her new song "Good For You," and one fan told Us Weekly, "It was a major girl power moment. Afterwards Selena and Taylor seemed so excited about how well the performance went."

Both have had great adventures with birds in their native countries.
Afterwards, PEEC will honor their volunteers who have been important this year, then PEEC will hold its annual election of new board members.

for Margaret's education. This was more difficult than for that of the boys. She could not trust her sweet, gentle, blue-eyed maid among girls who might be rough or unmannerly, and yet she could not possibly afford to send her to one of the upper class of schools. Margaret already read much better than she did, for her own attainments extended no further than a limited amount of reading and writing. The few books, besides the Bible, she had brought away from the minister's library, were mostly on theological subjects, somewhat, she felt sure, beyond Margaret's comprehension. She lived on dry crusts for many a day to sanction her extravagance in purchasing several books, one after the other, suited to the little maiden's taste. Margaret was delighted to receive them, and while Janet sat and span she read them aloud to her, and amply rewarded was the kind nurse for her self-denial. Not dreaming that Margaret could possibly educate herself, she still continued turning in her mind how that desirable object shoul
