Greendale trounces Franklin
The Greendale football team made a resounding statement to the prep football world Friday night, thrashing visiting perennial contender Franklin, 37-13, before an overflow home crowd. Franklin entered the contest ranked No. 2 in the area.
"It's a big win not just because it's a cross-town thing," Greendale head coach Rob Stoltz said. "It's Franklin. They're an annual power. You never know what to expect or how close a game is going to be. We have a lot of work to do, but I can't tell the kids it's not a big deal, because it is a big deal."
After a slow start for both offenses, Greendale clung to a 9-7 lead midway through the second quarter. Senior wideout Mitchell Brees put Greendale ahead 16-7 in the final minutes of the first half with an impressive catch and run that included five broken tackles.
"That was a filthy play," Stoltz said. "There's not much else you can say about him. He's an incredible athlete."
The 6-foot-3 Brees struck again in the third quarter, this time on a 54-yard touchdown strike from junior quarterback Josh Ringelberg. Brees simply outran the coverage and hauled in a perfect throw.» Read Full Article
Oak Creek Mayor Steve Scaffidi drops Assembly run
Madison — The race to replace outgoing Rep. Mark Honadel (R-South Milwaukee) turned into a wide-open contest Friday when the only announced candidate dropped out.
On Tuesday, Oak Creek Mayor Steve Scaffidi announced he would run for Honadel's seat when Honadel said he would be stepping down from the Assembly in mid-September. But on Friday, Scaffidi told Oak Creek Patch he would not seek the seat after all.
Scaffidi, who had said he planned to serve as both mayor and state representative, told Patch on Friday he decided not to run for the Assembly because he wanted to concentrate on his job as mayor.
No other Republican or Democrat has announced plans to run for the seat. Gov. Scott Walker has not determined when the special election would be held.
Steve F. Taylor, the president of the Franklin Common Council and a Milwaukee County supervisor, said he's thinking about running for Honadel's seat as a Republican but won't make a decision for a week or more.» Read Full Article
Cudahy man sentenced in fatal drunken driving crash
A Cudahy man was sentenced Thursday to two years in prison for a drunken driving crash that killed his passenger and injured Waukesha County sheriff's deputies whose patrol car he hit on the freeway last year.
According to court records:
Ihor M. Sahan, 19, was speeding east on Interstate 94 about 2:40 a.m. Nov. 1 when he slammed into a squad car parked in the turnaround area at Sunny Slope Road.
The injured deputies climbed out and pulled Sahan and his unconscious passenger from their burning vehicle. Ryan Petri, 17, had not been wearing a seat belt and suffered massive brain trauma. He was taken to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin but never regained consciousness and died.
Sahan told police he and Petri were returning from a Madison concert where he had consumed six drinks in an hour.» Read Full Article

Falls dominates second half in 16-10 win over Oak Creek
One game does not a season make, but for the Menomonee Falls football team a foundation can be laid on opening night and the Indians did just that on Friday, controling much of the game in beating host Oak Creek, 16-10.
"It's not the season," said coach John Baker, "but we can build off this. I think we just surprised a few people. With the way we fought for each other tonight, we can roll with this, this is special."
Veteran quarterback Adam Vechart agreed. Vechart was one of those people who picked up the gauntlet, rushing many times late in the game as the Indians were trying to kill the clock after top running back Christian Almonte went out with a leg cramp.
"We did a good job here tonight," Vechart said, "and this will only help our confidence. There are a lot of new people out there without a lot of experience and this will help us go into next week (the home opener next Friday against West Bend East)."
For the defending Southeast Conference champion Knights it was a lesson in fitness. Oak Creek is replacing nine starters from a top-notch defense and the Knights were also a bit short-handed due to injury, but coach Mike Bartholomew didn't want to use that an as excuse.» Read Full Article

Franklin rolls past Hamilton in football opener, 44-16
Even after an impressive 330-yard, two-TD pass effort that led his team to an imposing 44-16 win over Greater Metro Conference favorite Sussex Hamilton Thursday night, Franklin quarterback Sean McGuire was not satisfied.
"Not good enough," he said. "Everything I did tonight was due to the O-line and my receivers."
His coach Louis Brown and opposing coach John Damato viewed the 6-3 senior's efforts in a little more positive light as the prep football season got underway.
"I'm telling you he had a great off-season and you're seeing the results," said Brown of the three-year starter. "He has a big chip on his shoulder and he's the perfect leader. I think he had one underthrown ball all night."
"...He may be the best we've every had."» Read Full Article
Nephew charged in campus overdose death in Greendale
Greendale — Resident Tyler Schmidt has been charged with first degree reckless homicide for delivering drugs to his uncle, Timothy Stanczyk. The charge, a class C felony, carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison or a $100,000 fine.
According to the criminal complaint:
Stanczyk was found dead in a dorm room at UWM on Dec. 3 by what was determined as an overdose on a heroin and opiate mixture. Schmidt told police he and a friend left Stanczyk, his uncle, in the dorm room while they went for a cigarette. When they came back, his uncle was on his back and unresponsive. They dialed 911.
Schmidt initially denied giving any heroin to his uncle. His friend, however, said they got heroin from Schmidt's dealers and Stanczyk went unconscious after shooting up in the dorm room. Schmidt's friend said he urged him to dial 911, but Schmidt tried giving Stanczyk a remedy and then the two went outside to smoke cigarettes. He said when the two were done smoking, Schmidt shot up the rest of the heroin and threw the needles in a trash chute.
Police found the needles in the residence hall dumpster, which tested positive for heroin. They also reviewed residence hall video surveillance showing Schmidt, his friend and his uncle going into the dorm room elevator and Schmidt later running out of his room. He appeared upset and was swaying on camera when he returned.» Read Full Article

WELLSBURG - It is hard to believe that the Weir High and Brooke football teams are going to face off tonight in Brooke's Veterans Memorial Stadium in one of the hardest fought rivalries in the Ohio Valley, and the teams have but one win between them.
Fans still remember the epic battles these two teams had during the 1960s, '70s and '80s when they were in the same Class AAA ranks and fighting for playoff berths.
That lone win this year was Brooke's 34-33 victory over Point Pleasant three weeks ago. Point Pleasant was unbeaten and state ranked at the time.
Both teams are beset with similar situations this season. Namely, new head coaches, youth, lack of depth and a ton of injuries.
"Brooke hasn't done well, but they have a very difficult Triple A schedule and they also are struggling with injury problems like us," said Weir High coach, Tony Filberto, whose team has lost all seven of its games.
"But I'm looking for it to be an exciting night of high school football between two old rivals. You can't find much more exciting football year in and year out than when these two teams get together.
"I encourage the fans to come out and enjoy that atmosphere that we've had in the past."
Although first-year Brooke coach, Sean Blumette, is new on the scene hailing from the Western Pennsylvania area, he is well aware of the rivalry that exists.
"I know that you have a situation where two schools with close proximity you have a rivalry," he said. "About half the town of Weirton attends Weir High and the other half goes to Brooke so these kids know each other pretty well."
Blumette noted that both teams have gone through similar situations this year with new coaches, learning new systems, being young and beset by injuries.
However, Bluemette expects that starting running back and linebacker, Raleigh Mason, will be returning to bolster the Bruin lineup. Mason injured a knee on the third play of the first game of the season, a 35-34 loss to Parkersburg, and has missed out on a lot his senior season.
While Mason is returning, Blumette said he's not sure whether Alec Buchmelter, Brooke's starting quarterback the past three seasons, will be able to go full tilt. Buchmelter injured a hamstring in the 53-27 loss to Parkersburg South last week. If Buchmelter, who can't go, Aaron Walker, a sophomore, will be the signal caller.
Buchmelter has completed 75 of 149 passes for 912 yards and nine touchdowns. He has rushed for 198 yards and five scores. Freshman Justin Loughrie is the Bruins' leading rusher with 369 yards and three touchdowns.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Big Red, 7 p.m.
STEUBENVILLE - Big Red will continue its drive for a berth in the Region 11 playoffs tonight when Sir Wilfrid Laurier Collegiate Institute comes to town.
The Blue Devils, based in Scarborough, Ontario, but part of the Toronto school district, will bring a 3-1 record to Harding Stadium for their first meeting with Big Red.
Reno Saccoccia's squad jumped back into the Division III postseason picture following last week's 20-14 come-from-behind victory over Morgantown. Big Red stands at 6-2 and rated sixth in the region.
Laurier, named for a former Canadian prime minister, owns victories over Leaside, East York and Birchmount. The Blue Devils, considered a Division I school by Ohio standards, fell to Macdonald.
"I know they are really looking forward to coming down here," Saccoccia said of the Blue Devils. "I've talked to their coach several times and he is really up on our rules. Other teams we've played from Canada were not real familiar with the differences.
"This is their third good year in a row and I'm sure they will be ready to get after it. And, thank goodness for them or we wouldn't have had a game."
The Blue Devils, according to Saccoccia, employ a "wide open offense, a spread attack."
"Defensively, they'll play a 4-3 but they'll have to modify their defense some since in their league, they play 12 people," the Big Red mentor said.
Indian Creek at
Buckeye Local, 7 p.m.
YORKVILLE - The run for the playoffs is in full effect for the Indian Creek Redskins as they travel to Buckeye 8 rival Buckeye Local tonight.
The Redskins currently sit fourth in the Ohio Division III, Region 11 rankings and are coming off an emotional 33-21 win over Harrison Central that was in question until Alex Young returned an interception 96 yards for a score with under a minute remaining.
With that being the case, the danger for the 7-1 Redskins isn't in overlooking the 4-4 Panthers, but maybe being a little too high from last week's excitement.
"Obviously I'm not going to tell you I'm not worried about that," said Indian Creek head coach Andrew Connor. "We're trying to make sure we have a good week of coaching to get them ready for things we didn't do well against Harrison, and there were things.
"I can tell you today (Tuesday) that they were reminded by me today that if they think they'll just show up at Buckeye Local they'll be on the other end of the score Friday."
The Panthers may have dropped a 48-6 decision to St. Clairsville last week, but Buckeye Local head coach Phil Pest and Connor saw some definite positives in the Panthers performance.
"Coming off this St. Clairsville game we played physical and we were happy with that," said Pest. "They are coming to our place on senior night and our kids will be emotional and will play hard. I think our kids will be ready and will have a good chance to win."
Added Connor, "We showed the kids this. They did a really good job in a time consuming way against St. Clairsville. I know how good St. Clairsville is up front and they moved it on them very well in the first half.
"Looking at them and what I know about St. Clairsville it really impressed me."
Buckeye Local's offense averages 218.75 yards per game and 16.75 points per contest. The Panthers' rushing attack is led by Austin Marshall's 421 yards and three scores. Signal caller Nathan Kirk has thrown for 705 yards and six scores. His favorite target has been Shane Duncan with 20 catches for 505 yards and three scores.
The Panthers will find tough sledding against an Indian Creek defense that is surrendering just 217.5 yards and 17.25 points per contest, and seems to be improving.
Harrison Central at
Union Local, 7 p.m.
MORRISTOWN - Harrison Central head coach Justin Kropka believes it when he hears that tonight's game is a must-win for his football team.
But, he also believes that same thing about Weeks 1, 2, 3 and so forth. The fact that his Huskies have lost two games in a row and slipped to eighth in the Division IV, Region 15 playoff rankings doesn't make this week any bigger than the rest.
"Even if we're sitting in 20th (in the region), it's a must-win game for me," Kropka said. "I sure hope it feels the same way for the kids. We start lifting the Monday after Thanksgiving and go four days a week, so we've got a lot invested for these 10 games."
The Huskies next challenge comes Friday when they make their final road trip of the regular season to take on Union Local.
"We go into each game hoping to win like all teams, but unfortunately, we've come up short the last couple of weeks," Kropka said. "We hope to come out on the better end of things this week. Every game is the Super Bowl to me. We're not preparing any harder this week than we have for any other game because the playoffs are involved. I'm preparing hard because I want to beat Union Local."
The Jets have experienced another season of growing pains. Coach Mark Cisar's squad is 1-7 on the season after dropping a 52-14 decision at Bellaire last Saturday.
"We only have five seniors, so our kids understand their job and it's to get better each week," Cisar said. "Our kids are still busting their butts, giving us everything they have, so it's been a joy coaching these kids even though our win-loss record isn't favorable."
The biggest challenge the Jets face this week is somehow finding a way to slow down the vaunted Harrison Central ground game, which has been chewing up yardage in chunks.
"We know they're going to line up and run right at us," Cisar said. "We've had trouble stopping them each of the last two years, so we have to find a way to slow them down."
Senior Maurtice Hython is the area's leading rusher. He's ran for 1,367 yards on 161 carries and scored 14 touchdowns.
Bellaire at Edison, 7:30 p.m.
RICHMOND - The Bellaire Big Reds are certain about one thing this week. They won't be overlooking Edison and its 2-6 mark tonight.
Not that it was needed, but the Wildcats certainly caught the Big Reds' attention after they posted an impressive 35-22 victory against Martins Ferry last Friday at Purple Rider Stadium.
"I don't think their record is any indication of the type of team they are," said Davis. "They played very inspired football last week, obviously and they're a typical Edison team that we've faced the last three years."
The Big Reds took care of Union Local last Saturday in their home finale and are now sitting in seventh place in the OHSAA Division V, Region 17 computer poll.
"We still have two weeks to go and our focus has to be on continuing to improve and getting better," Davis said. "We have to continue to be disciplined and play with consistency."
The Wildcats, meanwhile, are looking to end their season on the upswing and a victory against the Big Reds and then a chance to spoil arch rival Indian Creek's season could go a long way in making that happen.
"It's always for our kids to get a win," said personable Wildcats' head coach Mike McKenzie. "We've dealt with a lot of adversity this year, but the kids have stepped up and responded. I just couldn't be prouder of how they played last weekend."
In beating the Purple Riders last week, Edison was the beneficiary of seven turnovers, including five in the first 24 minutes.
"Obviously, this is a much different scheme than we saw," McKenzie said. "We hope to stop the run last week and this week it's the pass, but Bellaire is certainly capable of running it. This is a big, big challenge because Bellaire is very good."
Hundred at Toronto, 7:30 p.m.
TORONTO - The Toronto Red Knights enter tonight's game with winless Hundred coming of a two-game losing streak.
For head coach Eric Meek and his squad it's time to put the past behind them and focus on the present and future of the program.
"It's amazing, kids sure do handle adversity better than adults do," he said. "We've had a good week of practice so far. Can't worry about what's happened. We have to worry about this week. It is the last home game for our five seniors. We need to worry about that.
"Not about what happened or could of been. We want to sent the seniors out at Clarke Hinkle Stadium with a win. We're playing for our seniors and our future.
"We feel we have a bright future. We need to focus on the positives."
One of those positives is that despite six turnovers last week against Conotton Valley, the Red Knights showed explosiveness on offense they hope to carry over to this week.
"It was a real battle out there," said Meek. "Both teams fought really hard to the end. Offensively, against a big physical team like Conotton Valley, we turned the ball over six times and scored 32 points.
"We did a lot of good things but you can't turn it over six times. You have to wonder how many points we might of scored if we didn't turn it over six times."
Quarterback Blaze Glenn completed 13 of 24 for 306 yards and two scores and ran for 70 more stripes. Chez Glenn caught five passes for 172 yards and the six-pointer. Charles Ross III caught a 66-yard touchdown strike as well.

I've got a bunch of Giant Toes that I can't get rid of...it insists they're quest items. But I don't think I have such a quest. Can I start it somewhere so I can get rid of them?
They are used for the "Hangover" quest which starts with a drinking competition in which you black out and destroy a temple (see this question if you need help). One of the items needed to repair the staff is a Giant's Toe.
Skyrim has the annoying functionality that sometimes regular items can be quest items (Giant's Toes, Amulets of Talos), but they stack with their non-quest item selves, and you can't separate them.
To answer your question, Sanguine's Daedric Quest involves a quest-item Giant's toe. (See Uhh... I got drunk and trashed a temple. How do I pick up the mess?)

It's Easter weekend. If you like egg hunts, what could be more Florida than an underwater egg hunt? I didn't even know they had those, but there are a couple (plus some other, more traditional activities).
Eggs and bunnies not your thing? Try the Mandarin Arts Festival!
No? Okay, then stick to the basics – go to the beach or stay in the Library and study. (I would pick the Library!)

I've been playing a litte while, raised Assassin to lvl 5 and unlocked a few more classes. But I still don't understand some of the upgrades. Is there a manual or reference anywhere that would explain these?
Blunting : Is this -1 attack for each monster, or the total of all monsters? I've never taken this because it seems like it would be a tiny difference even at mid-levels.

For much of today, a bridge beam has been blocking Highway 68-80 in Logan County.
Russellville Police say just after 10 this morning, they were called to an accident at the city limits on Bowling Green Rd.
The beam is still blocking one lane in each direction, but traffic is able to get around the wreckage.
Police are waiting for another trailer to arrive on the scene, so two cranes can put the beam on it.
Police say a semi was driving the over sized load from Bowling Green to St. Louis.
"The driver believes that pin broke and released the beam into the roadway. There's no damage to any other vehicles except for the vehicle involved and to the roadway itself," said Russellville Police Public Information Officer Samantha Reeser.
Police expect the lanes to be cleared by 10 tonight.
We'll have more information as it comes available.

Given two coprime integers $a < b$ of different parities, only a finite number of points in $\mathbb N^2$ cannot be reached by a walk in $\mathbb N^2$, starting at the origin and using only steps of the form $(b,\pm a),(\pm a,b)$ (and thus making an acute angle with the north-eastern vector $(1,1)$).
Is there a good upper bound on the number of such exceptional points? Is there a good upper bound on the coordinate sum $x+y$ of such an exceptional point $(x,y)$?
(Remark: A naive proof that almost all points can be reached gives an upper bound which is probably very far from the true value.)

Bolshoi 'Swan Lake' & 'Don Q' in Canada, May 2012Toronto & Ottawa
Posted 24 May 2012 - 02:55 AM
Posted 24 May 2012 - 08:28 AM
Posted 24 May 2012 - 06:14 PM
"J and I were at the Bolshoi's Swan Lake Thursday night. Quick critique of a couple of things:
I would have loved to have seen Alexandrova and Skvortskov (he's such a hunk and she is absolutely stellar!), but J's schedule only allowed her Thursday night.
Anna Nikulina, whom we saw, first danced Odette/Odile at the age of 19 so I expected much more from here - she's had 7 years to mature in the role, but still looked like she had some 'ballet school' to shed. She was so intent on her (perfect) technique that I saw little artistry in her interpretation.
I found her Odette to be too remote and unattached to her Prince Siegfried, Semyon Chudin, who tried his best to pull some emotion out of her. She was alternately icy and resigned to her hopeless fate (a different ending makes hopeless the correct word).
Her Odile was slightly better acted, but still left so much to be desired! Alexandrova would have been dramatic and passionate and warm as Odette and wily, harsh, and manipulative as Odile. So sorry to have missed her!
We were sitting in the second row so saw all the facial expressions - and lack of them - on every dancer's face. There was a fantastic actress among the brides - the Spanish bride - and both J and I were riveted by her reactions during the brides' dance. She's the only bride who revealed any of the story and emotions behind the dance.
If there was a "star" of this production, I'd say it was the corps. They were very homogeneous physically, so that helped the effect, and of course, all have had identical training, but gosh, they were SO together no matter what they were doing. A true marvel. Petipa would be proud!
In addition to appreciating the endless line of highly arched and instepped narrow, long feet on all - ladies and men - we appreciated the fun and perfection of the "Fool" whom we have never found annoying, like so many others do, and who in this Swan Lake has great choreography and appropriate jestering behaviour. Typecast for physique, he'd be a wonderful premier danseur if emploi didn't drive role-casting.
The "Evil Genius" also deserves applause (and he got it in spades) for his exemplary dancing. He was invisible to the Prince at the lake while he danced behind him and around him performing his sorcery with arm movements and apt Von Rothbart-y expressions.
He was likable! I was actually glad he remained physically intact, not losing any parts of his body in the last act of this version. And I didn't feel a single pang about Odette's expiration. Only poor Siegfried, advancing forward centre stage, in a completely bereft state, had my sympathies. J was moved almost to tears. I'm just jaded."
By the way, the theatre was pretty much full the night we went, the 3rd performance. There were three casts of principals that each danced twice. We saw the 'third string', as it were. I also remember that someone made a comment about the new sets. I thought they were fantastic, as were the costumes.

Posted 27 May 2012 - 05:53 PM
Thanks for the reviews so far! Speaking of Alexandrova's O/O, I find it a bit odd that she will not be on the final leg of the tour (the Swan Lakes in L.A.). L.A. gets only two O/Os, both 'juniorish' -- Nikulina and Krysanova -- although there's so much to admire with both ladies.
I, for one, am very disappointed to not get Alexandrova (probably one of my top three ballerinas) here, and am surprised they didn't send a more established principal, though I do enjoy Nikulina and Krysanova quite a bit.

The original cast remained mostly unchanged from the website except:
1. On the program there were three dancers sharing the role of the Street Dancer for Act I - Anna Okuneva (23, 25), Anastasia Meskova (24, 26 mat), and Anna Leonova (26 eve).
2. Leonova was replaced at the last minute by Okuneva on 26 eve. performance.
I will write a little review on these performances later on, but please don't mind me as I'm not the most technical writer.

I will post my review on the three performances as soon as I finish my write up.
Posted 28 May 2012 - 09:07 AM
I considered myself lucky. Last year, I saw the Mariinsky; this year, I saw the Bolshoi. Live.
I have been seeing Bolshoi's productions for several times this year, thanks to the live streaming broadcast, but never up close and personal in a theatre. I didn't see it as an option when the new dance season was announced in April 2011, with a colorful poster of Zakharova in Kitri's costume completely filled the cover page of the season subscription booklet and inserts of Osipova and Vasiliev. (Is there a chance I could see Osipova next year? Alright!)
Well....that didn't happen. I mean Osipova. However, it didn't stop me.
So basically, 3 different casts of principals as Kitri and Basilio, with mostly 2 different casts of soloists and same corps members sharing the rest of the roles. I decided that I would see all 3 casts. Friday the 25th was a must because of Nina Kaptsova, her only show in Ottawa. The first and second casts danced twice, I decided that I would see them all on the same day on Saturday, the 26th (mat and eve).
Every performance was almost sold out. A few single seats left here and there, mostly the last rows up at the top level. I would say all three performances I went to the theatre was at 95-98% full. Some were willing to get in for the standing room (space behind the last row at the Orchestra level) at the last minute.
Friday, May 25th – Nina Kaptsova as Kitri and Semen Chudin as Basilio
Kaptsova and Chudin made a very charming couple together. They were playful in Act I and reasonably fun (as much as you would expect from Act II). I found the reaction from audience was a little "reserved" this evening. Nothing particularly stood out with their partnering, and nothing was less either. Kaptsova struggled a bit to balance in the Act III PDD, as she extended to the second and held her arms in fifth. Chudin saw that coming, he let go for less than a second and supported her from behind right away. She got better later on when balance was required again in attitude but the struggle was still obvious (to me anyway). Other than that, the rest of the variation was easy sailing. She did the fouette turns with single fouette then double pirouettes throughout. They both finished the coda with a very enthusiastic reception from the audience.
Saturday, May 26th, matinee – Maria Alekandrova as Kitri and Vladislav Lantratov as Basilio
Out of the 3 principal casts, this pair was my personal favorites. At first I thought Alekandrova might not be a good fit with Lantratov but they actually partnered very well. The supported turns at the beginning tended to tilt to the right (of the dancers), Lantratov kept having to support the turns and keep her in balance at the same time, but things seemed to get better right after. Alekandrova's balance and control and Lantratov's energy and youthfulness were able to build up the momentum in Act I and get the audience excited. Lantratov kept Alekandrova up during the second overhead single arm lift longer than any other cast, and the orchestra just kept on drumming till she came off the lift. This played off when Act II came around, the audience found them and the rest of the characters comical and not holding back laugher when Basilio pretended to be dying. They were fantastic in Act III. Alekandrova's balance was incredible during the PDD and she made it look so easy. Lantratov reminded me of a very young Angel Corella (not sure if I made a good comparison since these two male dancers came from different schools, but Corella just came to my mind as I watched Lantratov) when he did the Basilio's variation, clean jumps and turns, sharp and spot on. He was just made of air. Alekandrova did the fouette turns later on in Kitri's variation as singles instead of inserting doubles in between. The simplicity allowed her to do one turn per beat, and right on the beat fast. The audience at this point was just going wild for her. They both finished the coda at such height the audience was ready to give a standing ovation before the act ended.
Saturday, May 26th, evening – Ekaterina Krysanova as Kitri and Vyacheslav Lopatin as Basilio
They were the original opening cast and they also finished this tour in Canada on a high note. I heard of them before here and there but it was the first time ever I saw these two dancers performing (never on any sort of media outlet or in person). Technically, they delivered, especially Lopatin. Whatever other casts have done, he had to slip in an extra turn or jump, even if it meant finishing the variation one note later. I have no complaint throughout all three acts. The balance, the control, the turns, the jumps, the partnering, the elasticity, the attack, the suspense…everything was there. Needless to say, the audience loved the feat. Krysanova did the fouette series first with one single fouette and double pirouettes, then all single fouette in the second half. If I have to pick on something, and interestingly, it would be after the fouette turns in Kitri's variation, and Basilio's series of turns right before the coda ends, they both ended up facing the audience with their backs because they were both attempting to make faster and more turns. They just turned around and posed to finish. That put no dent whatsoever, as the act was about to end and the audience was very taken.
Don Quixote & Sancho Panza
Alexey Loparevich as Don Quixote for all 5 performances. I saw him literally in every Bolshoi's productions I have seen this year and I like him. There wasn't any surprise in terms of the casting, as well as his ability in playing this character. His slender built was very fitting for this role.
The role of Sancho Panza was shared by Sergey Minakov and Roman Simachev. They were funny and effective as character dancers. There were slight differences throughout in how these two interpreted the role. For example, when Don Q showed Panza his book in Prologue, Minakov conveyed the character's illiteracy by turning the book upside down and shrug his shoulders, "whatever..." and gave the book back; Simachev also turned the book upside down, then put the book above his head and "wore" it like a hat, gave the book back and gestured "Oh I see what you mean there." That is also why I like seeing the same production with different casts. Different interpretations provide the performances with alternative texture and flavour.
The role was shared by Vitaly Biktimirov and Ruslan Skvortsov. I was secretly hoping to see Skvortsov as Basilio but he wasn't on the list when the official casting was out (on the website). I thought he wouldn't be coming. I was surprised that he was cast in this role instead as I read the program. In truth, both dancers were dashing, handsome, and most importantly, great as Espada. Skvortsov and the corps were very sharp-looking and together as they performed their variation in Act I. I first thought Biktimirov's performance was just ok on Friday the 25th, then on Saturday the evening of 26th, I saw the flair in him.
The mercede variations were well done by both Kristina Karaseva and Anna Balukova with the repeatedly slow and deep backbends. Just exquisite. Although it's probably not mostly regarded as one of the highlights in this particular ballet, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Gipsy Dance
Anastasia Meskova and Anna Antropova alternated this role. Both good but I favoured Meskova more, she danced with such intensity and wilderness. I liked her in this role better than as the Street Dancer in Act I.
Dream scene
Whenever the stage was transformed (as the lights came on) into this scene, with beautiful dancers in all tutus, everyone was going "woo" and "whoa". Same dancers performed all shows for the roles of the three dryads, the four dryads, and the cupid. The three and four dryads, along with the corps, were all in harmony and synchronized at all times, they were absolutely wonderful to watch. Anastasia Stashkevish as the Cupid was marvelous. She looked more mature on the company profile picture than when she was on stage. Her pin-size figure was perfect and so adorable for this role. She was quick and light on her footwork. Her variation was warmly received. The three female principals danced the variation in this scene more or less with the same tempo except the entrance: Kaptsova came out and posed about two notes early, Alekandrova rushed out almost at the last minute to create the super quick bourrée effect then hop to pose, Krysanova timed it to the exact second and note. I actually giggled in my head seeing Don Quixote walking around upstage and nodded "oh this is nice…oh you girls over here danced very nicely too!"
Overall, it was a great run for all casts. The theatre was full most of the time, the anticipation was high, and the company delivered what was expected. The corps members were in sync with high energy, the soloists and the principals did not disappoint. Every performance received a standing ovation at the end.

Mercedes' variations certainly should be a highlight of the ballet even if they often are not. And thank you very much for the detailed review.

I read that Pope Benedict XVI is resigning. I don't know much about Catholic/papal authority as it relates to leading the Church, but as far as I can remember, a pope dies before another one takes the reigns. Apparently, this has happened before, but how does the living pope confer that authority to a successor, since he's still alive? Since he resigned, is his authority to lead the Catholic church removed from him, or how does that work?

Yes, as the Pope said in his resignation speech, he gives up the office and it is for those whose duty it is to convoke the conclave and elect a successor — just as it would be if he had died.
As a cardinal, he's entitled to attend the conclave (but he probably won't) but he can't vote because he's over eighty.
Jimmy Akin stated on his blog:
The papal authority is removed completely from the ex-pope. From wikipedia, I understood that his ring, seal etc. are destroyed as though he died, though it's not clearly stated there.
As Andrew Leach wrote, as a cardinal the ex-pope can attend conclave, but even if he was younger than eighty, he would be expected not to be very active in the election of his successor (part of the tradition of vanishing from public).
EDIT: according to what I found while researching answer for a related question, there is an aspect of the pope's role he maintains after resignation, or even after death: the obligation and authority to pray for the Church.
Another EDIT: as Cardinal Lombardi said, Joseph Ratzinger won't participate in the conclave. In Czech version the Vatican Radio goes to more details, such as that Ratzinger will no longer be a Cardinal, but I didn't find it in English.

STEUBENVILLE - Catholic Central played for 80 minutes. Indian Creek did not.
The Catholic Central boys' soccer team registered a 9-0 win over Indian Creek in a Breast Cancer Awareness Game Saturday afternoon at Harding Stadium.
"It was very exciting not only with how we played, but also with the day overall with all of the local schools playing," Catholic Central (13-1-1) head coach Steve Kopcha said. "It was a special day."
The Crusaders recorded three goals in the first half, and tallied six more in the second half.
"We came out flat in the second half," Indian Creek (7-8) head coach Jonathan Hoover said. "I thought we played very aggressive in the first half, but we came out flat in the second half. We didn't come out with that spark."
Individually for Catholic Central, Leo Herrmann netted four goals, John-Paul McNamara recorded two goals and an assist and Harold Rogers, Jacob Rigaud and Kevin Herrmann all tallied a goal.
"I thought we contained him pretty well," Hoover said about Herrmann, Catholic Central's all-time leading scorer. "They had one on a run on a play in the first half. The other two goals came on a penalty kick and off of a free kick. He plays very hard. He works hard for his goals."
Also for the Crusaders, Jude Ledyard delivered three assists, while Pat Hernon and Brady Bolger each recorded one.
"I knew a little bit about Indian Creek," Kopcha said. "You get to see the local teams play. I knew it was going to be a competitive game. It was going to be a high-energy game. No. 10 (Max Lewis) and No. 11 (Russell Ratcliffe) impressed me with their speed. We knew it was going to be a competitive game coming in."
The Crusaders' John Bolster finished with five saves. He was replaced in the second half by Rigaud, who made one save.
"I was very happy with our defense," Kopcha said. "John did a good job in goal. We were missing one of our defenders today. Isaac Stanford and Aidan Gotta stepped in and did a good job. Our defense did a good job holding them down."
Andrew Price made seven saves for the Redskins.
"This late in the season, you know what to expect from the local teams," Hoover said. "They played exactly how we thought they would play. Steve does a great job with them. They are well coached. They are disciplined."
Linsly handed Catholic Central its first loss of the season when the Cadets blanked the Crusaders, 2-0, in the tournament semifinals Sept. 28 at Wheeling Island Stadium.
Catholic Central has now won two-straight games after its loss to Linsly to be 13-1-1.
"All you can do is put the game behind you whether you win or lose," Kopcha said. "You have to get ready for the next game. A sign of character from this team was we were able to put that loss behind us and we have been able to move forward."
Both teams are scheduled to return to the field Tuesday. Catholic Central will play at 5 p.m. at home against John Marshall. Indian Creek will travel north into Columbiana County to take on Beaver Local.

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Well Jonathan has good points. But I have learned that people choose apps based on things that are not necessarily based only on popularity, but also on graphics, name, and what ever their friends tell them. So in my opinion if you believe you can do a great app, just go ahead and do it.
Unless an existing app already dominates the market such that it creates an insurmountable barrier to entry (which is rare), it doesn't matter.
Besides, if you have an idea for an app that you think is truly unique and you can't find any prior examples, it might just be a bad idea. Competition helps provide market validation.
In any case, the idea isn't important. Your success will be defined by identifying customer needs and executing, not by having a great idea.
Not sure how to respond to this. Just search for it.
Unless you have magical powers, your best bet will always be a Google search with keywords that reflect your app. Of course, whether or not someone has already made one isn't as relevant as questions like the following:
If the answer to at least one of those questions is no, then you should go ahead with your app! If the answer to both, however, is yes, you should come up with a different idea.
Google google google and the appstores obviously. If you can't find anything there then go ahead and starting dev'ing! Either way if there is an app with the same type of gaming experience that doesn't mean yours won't be successful. Marketing is super important :)

Laminate comes out swinging

Laminate comes out swinging
[Las Vegas]
Laminate suppliers have accelerated the evolution of surface and structural design in an effort to keep the category relevant amid mounting pressure from the growing luxury vinyl tile (LVT) segment.
Designers are no longer content with emulating nature and are now looking to improve upon it with deeper, more sophisticated texturing. In addition, laminate planks are getting longer, wider and being offered in random variable sizes. Digital print is now a reality. And merchandise displays have become more user friendly.
Armstrong paves the way
Armstrong has historically been at the forefront of laminate innovation and design. In 2007, it paved the way for the high-gloss trend that catapulted the category to new heights. Late last year, it introduced multi-width laminate planks. This year, the company launched perhaps its most unique laminate collection to date — Architectural Remnants.
Shown as a single prototype and due out in the spring, Architectural Remnants combines multiple species and colors as if distressed by the sun, sea and wind in random widths and with extensive but intelligently applied EIR.
"This design offers multiple species of wood, all in a unique place in time. It may be raw, it may have remnants of paint, it may be touched by hand with random chatter. We just love the random character — visually, texturally and with the random width," said Sara Babinski, principal designer, Armstrong hardwood and laminate.
Classen goes long with digital printing
Classen's new Long Plank is seven feet long by 10 inches wide and, because of digital printing, you won't find the same knot, nick or cathedral no matter how vast the installation. The collection is available in both 8mm and 10mm formats.
"Digital printing is a design play for us. It allows infinite patterns without repeat and doesn't increase cost," said Derek Welbourn, CEO of Canada-based inhaus, the North American division of Germany-based Classen."
Eternity Flooring's entrepreneurial spirit
Pacoima, Calif.-based Eternity Flooring has carved out a niche, and territory, without the roar of mainstream brands.
Its new 12mm Frontier collection features five-inch wide antiquated rustic planks with French Bleed blackened bevels and is priced competitively at $1.50 to specialty retail.
"We have our own trucks that pull containers from the Long Beach port 20 hours a day," said Eternity CEO Doran Gal. "We also train our own people in China on quality control, sampling, labeling; our displays are made by us in China." Eternity also featured new coordinating laminate stair nosing with its displays.
Formica Flooring leverages American made
Formica Flooring introduced its new Coastal Classics and Tradewinds collection with a simple premise: deliver American-made laminate with high styling, embossed-in-registration (EIR) and four-sided bevels to specialty retail for under $2 per square foot.
"We have the same beautiful styling and design sold to retail for $1.79. Laminate is all we do and we're passionate about it. And it's all made and inventoried here in the U.S.A.," said Fred Giuggio, vice president of sales and marketing, Formica Flooring.
Mannington design in plain sight
Mannington went off in a unique direction exhibiting its new Elmhurst, the latest addition to its best selling Restoration Collection.
"It's very difficult and expensive to find elm in hardwood flooring," said Dan Natkin, Mannington's director of wood and laminate flooring. "Dutch elm disease (DED) has killed off the species but we found an antique board that we emulate perfectly."
Also being shown in the American-made, 12mm Restoration collection were new walnut, hickory and oak variations each with their own unique gloss level and EIR.
"We don't have the scale of a Krono or Quick-Step so we live or die at the upper end with our designs," said Natkin.
Mohawk makes multi-widths at home
Mohawk's new Timberloft collection emulates the growing multiple width hardwood trend by offering EIR laminate in three various widths — 4 7/8 inch, 6 1/8 inch, and 7 1/2 inch — in a single box. Made in Thomasville, N.C., the collection features micro-bevels, an AC4 commercial rating and a lifetime residential and 5-year light commercial warranty.
"Timberloft was a big hit at our convention and it's creating a lot of excitement here at Surfaces too," said Jeff Madsen, laminate product manager, Unilin. "The muliple widths set it apart and adds another level of realism."
Quick-Step "talks" to consumer
Quick-Step's new Prestige Display utilizes striking visual cues such as toppled wine glasses, high heels and markers to educate consumers on the durability of Quick-Step product.
"Women gloss over when they hear about AC ratings. They want to know if the floor can handle a Big Wheel careening around the dining room table," said Erinn Valencich, Quick-Step's celebrity design partner.
The display also contains bar codes that can be scanned by smart phones leading the consumers to a video where Valencich acts as a personal design consultant.
Quick-Step also launched a simplified laminate repair kit, InstaMatch, that reduces the number of required pigments from 36 to three.
Shaw's intros show diversity
The new 10mm Avenues collection features popular 5-inch wide hand-sculpted visuals with beveled edges in Natural Acacia, Rich Acacia, Lime Oak and Warm Hickory.
Meanwhile, the new Canterbury and Breton collections are being featured with low-gloss finishes on 8mm planks. Canterbury portrays oil-rubbed white oak in five distinct finishes while Breton focus on urbanized hickories in three colors.
Shaw highlights that its laminates are made in the U.S.A., composed of recycled content and utilize the LocNPlace single-action installation system.
