When riding long distances, either solo or with groups of people, it is obviously necessary to carry a first-aid kit in case of a crash or other injury. What are the most important items to pack, while still considering weight or space? What items can be included in 'travel-size', and which items should be 'full-size'? What items should definitely be left at home?

I bring enough to dress small cuts and stop bleeding, at least until 911 could get to me. If you're riding in areas you might not be able to be reached by emergency services, or if you have particular medical issues that need specialty supplies, a kit like this would insufficient.
Other things you might consider are snappable heat packs, a knee brace, and something to put on bug bites or poison ivy for rides in the woods. If you're allergic to bee stings, you might bring something for that.
In addition to what's already mentioned, I bring a small vial of "liquid band-aid". It's good for small cuts, and with bandages it helps larger cuts heal faster.
A cell-phone, possibly one that's specifically adapted to the purpose:
I would substitute the tape and roll of gauze for a small ace bandage and a few gauze pads. You'll be able to treat the same injuries as you would with the tape and gauze roll but with the added benefit of the ace bandage to use as a brace. If you wreck and jam your wrist or you have a knee that starts acting up an ace bandage will let you keep riding. I carry Betadine instead of a gel based antibiotic, it helps the gauze stay put and can make it's way deeper into a cut. I'd also throw in a few safety pins, good for gear repair and digging out splinters.
... it depends on your activity. Long-distance can mean so many things such as random touring, rescue ops or challenging sport. I use standard first aid kits and mix them with some prescription drugs, such as stress-relieving hormones, and essential vitamins, such as B12-vitamin in tube.
Travel size
My smallest first-aid kit is a small container that holds master link and some very useful medicine, very hard to notice (carrying always). You can hook it to anything like clothes or bags: small, unnoticeable and easy-to-carry. Cortisone and allergy stuff. You can get the containers here and here. I also use the red kit with bandages, scissors and an extra B12-vitamin tube to heal sore skin, cannot stress enough the importance of the last thing particularly if you are a male rider.
Full size
Then again my long-distance first-aid kit is much larger. Epinephrine, heat-blanket, resuscitation face shield, wound compress, plastic gloves, pain relieving gel, --. Some extra stuff are small saw chain, magnesium lighter, mosquito web and extra reflection vest. The picture contain some of my first aid kits. There are actually three kits in the same picture. The blue one is something I rarely need. The red one is something I carry very often, stuff at the bottom. The upper stuff is for very serious accidents, actually the yellow thing, epinephrine, at the bottom should be there. Other answers cover mostly my red first aid kit. I use the other kits with my other sport activities mostly dealing with water and camping.
Alert about the prescription drugs mentioned
Do not use the prescription drugs mentioned if you are not instructed to do so, particularly meaning the things such as epinephrine and cortisone. They do have side-effects so you need to know how to use them. I wanted to cover them here because I hope you won't get fooled by very expensively marketed placebo drugs such as "snake tablets" where the affecting agent is cortisone but usually in a very low amount as non-prescription drug.
The hormones work differently. Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, lasts a short time, luckily, the cortisone lasts much longer. The effect of the former is fast and short-lived while the effect of the last is slow and long-lived.
You probably want to take loads of stuff if you are touring from 'Angola to Burkino Faso via the Cameroon' with a whole bunch of people as 'tour guide', however, here is my recommended list for solo tours in 'first world' countries:
The scalpel blade is for tidying up gravel rash, the tape to bandage oneself up with. I keep both of these items in the handlebar bag front pocket for ease of access. Sometimes I get a bit faint if I look at a 'flesh would' and it is helpful to be able to patch up the damage quickly without having to look at it for any longer than needed.
All the other items are 'in stock items' carried anyway. Warm clothing, i.e. the fleece jacket is important for those times when one's body does not do a good job of keeping itself warm. The spare T-shirt can be used for a larger scale bandage, in conjunction with the tape. Water is obviously useful for cleaning oneself up with, as are the cleaning wipes.
Aspirin does have an effect on blood and how quickly it clots, some people may want to take a different headache relieving drug, e.g. paracetamol. I don't have many headaches but I do carry a couple of aspirin tablets in my wallet out of habit.
The Pen Knife is a 'dual use' item for general camping, however, the tweezers have came in handy many times, hence a mention.
Fortunately I have only suffered 'flesh wounds' on tour (and mountain biking). I have yet to use the surgical scalpel blade but it weighs next to nothing so it gets carried. Only the tape is a real necessity, having proven its worth in the field.
I see that the sports-injury brace is cited by others here, I have never needed such an item ever, on the bike or off it.
For my first ever tour I did carry lots of stuff that others thought I should take and I bought into the 'better safe than sorry' risk-averse thinking. Three days in and I dumped off a lot of things that were not necessary and the 'elephant sized' bandages and other silly gubbins had to go. It came down to realistic basics for the first aid supplies - some tape to patch myself up with and the sterile scalpel blade in case of gravel rash problems.
Wrist supporter (Either ACE bandage or one of those velcro slip-ons with a hard thing inside; one you use for roller blading)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dodoka from Rockport Boots My son choose it as his Christmas present (age 22) and he is absolutely satisfied with his new boots. I ordered his size and wrapped. Christmas Eve my son wore his beautiful boots and he was happy and I was happy. This is the third pair of Rockport boots we have purchased and he has a pair of Rockport sneakers and it is the only foot wear he wears. Need I say more?

Rated 5 out of 5 by alany from Wonderful lightweight boots The first week I wore these boots, I got compliments everywhere I went ! But I was happy enough because they were super light weight, and fit very well. While there is a slight break-in period for the uppers (they can chafe your ankles initially a bit) and they don't have significant arch support, on the whole they are fantastic shoes for casual, dressy, work, whatever...

Rated 5 out of 5 by gimpy from style and comfort these Ledge Hill boots are super comfortable and light weight, which is important to me because I use an electric assist to overcome foot-drop.....there's is not any extra room for an orthotic, but the size is accurate....I especially like the low heel and pretty-much non-skid outer sole
Date published: 2013-03-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by GP57 from I am on my feet all day, so comfort & support are important. These boots require no breaking in. I now have two pairs & I would recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable boot that is also stylish.

Corella Ballet Castilla León
Posted 10 July 2008 - 01:19 PM
If you want to see how the new company members look like: Corella Ballet dancers at the Company presentation Gala, July 9, 2008
Performances are schedulled for tomorrow and Saturday and I can't wait to be there
We'll keep you posted
Published in this article in Spanish (Photo by EFE agency)
Posted 16 July 2008 - 07:44 PM
As Carolina, and numerous Spanish newsmagazines and newspapers have posted, Angel arrived home in Spain on the 9th to attend a Presentation Gala of the Company that night, had one day with his Company to rehearse and fine-tune what they had achieved during the 6wks he was away performing with ABT at the Met, and then, despite a rainy day and cold nights, performed Friday & Saturday. Angel, himself, only danced in "Clear" but of course was always present to comment, coach, and encourage his brave dancers.
(David Richardsen was also present to set "Bruch..." and personally, his assurance that the rain would stop was (I think) the only reason the rain gods finally complied)
BRAVO, BRAVA, BRAVI to all.
My brain is rather jetlagged--only averaged 1-3hrs sleep a night in Spain, and none before arriving home late last night--so will post more later. Those interested in the Spanish press reviews, and interviews conducted the Thursday prior to the performances, can google "Angel Corella La Granja" and probably pull something up. If I was more technologically savvy, I'd post a link in the Links forum--so apologies to all for now.

Here's the on-line version:
Kavanagh visited the company in last April. She talks about the background and future plans of the company, and pays them a visit during a rehearsal and while a photoshoot is in process. 4mrdncr was actually there with her video camera!
Corella's also on the cover of the August/September Pointe Magazine.
Posted 27 July 2008 - 04:20 PM
I want to thank 4mrdncr for calling our attention to a new article, by Julie Kavanagh, on Corella's company. Entitled "Lift Off," it's in the summer 2008 issue of Intelligent Life. A slightly edited version appears in the on-line MoreIntelligentLife.com.
Here's the on-line version:

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the article. I wish there were more photos.
Posted 30 July 2008 - 07:46 PM
Another article, this one in the Aug./Sept. 08 Pointe Magazine -- "Made in Madrid," by Kristin Lewis.
It's an excellent update about the company and includes the following:
1) Corella began preparing the way for this as long ago as 2001, when he created the Fundacion Angel Corella to lay the groundwork for a company similar to ABT --
a company with a classical repertoire that would also perform works by neoclassical and contemporary choreographers llike ... Balanchine ... Robbins .... Wheeldon ... Kylian, and ... Forsythe.
2) The impetus for the company (and 70% of the funding) comes from the Royal Family's foundation, which also donated the palace in Segovia that is the company's headquarters.
3) The name "Corella Ballet" is all about starting off with star recognition. AC hopes it will become the National Ballet of Spain (which must be conferred by the Spanish Government) or the Royal Ballet of Spain (bestowed by the royal family).
My name as a person and a dancer is only there for the moment, but eventually it will be a company for the country and dedicated to the country.
4) The official Madrid opening -- in September, at the Teatro Real -- will be Makarova's version of Bayadere, with Corella and guests Paloma Herrera and Gillian Murphy.
5) Next hurdle: starting a ballet school for ages 11-18.
6) Some very nice photos, too.
It's clear that, behind the sunny exterior and sweet smile, there's a sharp intelligence and serious organizational ability and drive.
Thanks, 4rmrdncr, for calling my attention to this article.
Anytime. And here are my "edits"...
1) Actually, he started the Foundation in 1999, four years after arriving at ABT when he was only 24.
2) Well the Palace of St. Cecilia's still needs to be renovated; also the studios and ancillary residence buildings--the expected completion date is late 2009. In the meantime, the Company & Foundation have recently moved to a temporary location in the general vicinity, that should fulfill all their needs until the Palace etc. is finished.
3) And as I posted before, the name change was also at the request of (or a condition of?) a principal funder. It has never been about or for Angel, but rather for his country and the many Spanish classical ballet dancers who previously had no opportunities to live & work in their own country.
4) But not every night. The Corella Ballet principals will also have their chance to shine.
5) See #2 above.
6) The studio pictures were taken before the move mentioned in #2 above.
And finally...
This has always been a frustration of mine (and his): people see that face onstage, briefly afterwards, or in some photoshoot etc. and still think of him as a "boy" (even Macauley in his review of Giselle this year couldn't help it), when underneath there has always been a very serious, focused, and mature individual.
Posted 31 July 2008 - 06:13 AM
Is anyone planning a trip to Madrid for the opening? It occurred to me that the ACB might benefit from the international publicity that YouTube provides, or possibly a video website. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to check in and see a bit of class, rehearsal, or a brief documentary about what the company is planning for the 2008-2009 season!
Posted 01 August 2008 - 01:54 PM
I have been documenting the creation and development of Angel Corella's company and school since January. I have shot over 30hrs of footage, am planning to return to Spain (for the 4th time) in a few weeks to film the debut at the Teatro Real, and am currently trying to fundraise the monies necessary to edit all the above into something coherent for viewing. I've already had several requests for footage from internet sites. The plan was to possibly air some excerpts from the documentary-in-progress in September to coincide with the Company's debut in Madrid. However, until the legalities are finalized, I cannot release the footage yet. Something the Company/Foundation in Spain has yet to realize is a necessity. There is also a plan to release a dvd of some of the performances at a later date. Merde to us all.
Posted 02 August 2008 - 09:38 PM
Have a great and rewarding time at the Teatro Real.
If I don't get an ulcer first.

Corella Ballet Castilla León Pre-premiere in La Granja
We hope you will enjoy it!
Posted 14 August 2008 - 09:17 AM
It was a wonderful article!!!
Posted 14 August 2008 - 04:22 PM
There's also a delightful, very informative interview with Corella by Kazumi Imasuki. It's in a Spanish translation, and comes with some stunning performance photos. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you'll find a link to the original English (Japanese, too!). That link comes with an entirely different set of wonderful informal phtos, including Corella helping to mop the stage at La Granja, following a pre-performance downpour. (Keith Richards joins him.) Great stuff.
I'm really impressed by the way that fotoescena has consistently made the point that Corella's company is something of great importance not only to ballet or to Spanish ballet dancers, but also the the national culture.
Spain has a "Dream Team" in cycling. It looks like they are on the way to having a Dream Team in ballet as well.
Our hope now is that our political officials are able to appreciate the quality of this company and the need to maintain it, along with the honour its creation brings to all Spaniards. While their headquarters are in La Granja de San Ildefonso and the company is committed to this community hosting and supporting them, they will tour all over Spain each year. It is the duty of the Spanish government to guarantee and ensure economic support to Corella Ballet so they can grow as it was planned.
Spain has needed this for so long and now we have it. After the presentation we experienced last year with such emotion, our fondest dreams could not have imagined that this project would become the incredible company we enjoyed in La Granja.
I hope they're also thinking about future tours to Latin America. They already have some fine dancers from that part of the world.
As Cristian said (above): !Suerte! to everyone involved.
Posted 14 August 2008 - 04:42 PM
El mejor suerte a todos!
Posted 14 August 2008 - 09:54 PM
Yes, thank you, Carolina. Jose Vallinas' photos of dancers performing each of the pieces in the pre-premiere performance are beautiful, though I wish the individual dancers had been identified. Maybe some readers hear can help us out with the identifications???

Uh bart, I think you mean Keith ROBERTS, not Richards (who makes & uses a different kind of music).
And yes L/S. America is on their radar for future visits. But first Madrid, and then 25 cities in Spain.
Carbro is right to reference the Corella Ballet website for info as to who and what is pictured.
Thanks to CarolinaM for posting the translated fotoescena article link on BT. Additional thanks to Jeanne Bosse for translating--I was astonished how much the syntax had improved!
And remember, all the events described above (and more), were videotaped. Edited excerpts should be posted by Sept. to coincide with the Teatro Real performances, which I will also be present at.
Posted 15 August 2008 - 05:06 AM
Now we will be operating on the Ballet de Espana forum on European Companies. As the company develops, we should start new threads for new "topics," reviews of performances, etc., just as with other companies.
My mind must have been floating back to the 60s. I've made this particular name-switch before. Hmmm. Thanks, 4mrdncr.
Uh bart, I think you mean Keith ROBERTS, not Richards (who makes & uses a different kind of music).
What do the rest of our Corella fans think? Anyone planning to be in Madrid for the official opening? What do you think about the rep that Corella chose for the "pre-premiere" outdoor performances? Do you have any suggestions for future tours, rep, etc.?
The emphasis on touring sounds interesting. Here's Corella's comments from the interview:
With 21 cities in central Spain alone -- many of them, I suppose, large towns rather than "cities" in the conventional sense -- this sounds like something from the days of the old Diaghilev tours (World War I U.S. and Spain), or the Ballets Russes and early Ballet Theater in the U.S. Daunting and difficult. But the idea of bringing ballet to so many places where it doesn't exist -- or hasn't existed for a long time -- is impressive.
We have 21 cities in the state of Castilla y Leon; we are going to Tenerife, The Canary Islands, The Granada Festival, both the Liceu Theatre and Tivoli Theatre in Barcelona, and hopefully, we will go to Brazil. We may also go to Washington D.C. There are also possibilities of other cities as well. Hopefully, we will be able to go to Japan, if Japan Arts or anyone else is interested in bringing the company there.

For example: I would like to set my CPU to higher end for when running a specific application, such as psx4droid. Is this possible with Tasker?
Or if not Tasker... any other app? SetCPU doesn't have the option.
It seems to me that you could get there by having tasker either directly set the system variables necessary to overclock or to access the commands that setCPU uses. To do that you can use the "Execute" plugin that executes commands like you would in the terminal emulator. A lot of this is over my head but you probably understand terminal commands and such better and may be able to make sense of my ramblings:
Theoretically, when you open psx4droid it should run that profile you created, changing the CPU settings.

There's a story my fiancée likes to hold against me from when we were first dating. We went into a Blockbuster (which might date this story right off the bat) to pick out a movie. She badly needed to use the bathroom, but figured we'd be in and out of there in a second, and my apartment was right around the corner, so she didn't say anything. I wandered into the "4 for $20" section, and started browsing for the next half hour. I found three movies I wanted, but for the fourth, I could only find movies I'd pay money to not have to see. Meanwhile, the woman I'd later decide to spend the rest of my life with was doing her best to be patient with my indecisiveness. She said, "Look, just get the three you want and throw away the fourth. It's still a deal!" But I still kept hunting for a worthy fourth. Finding nothing, I eventually gave up, leaving empty-handed. My poor girlfriend's bladder was put through that ordeal for nothing.

If you play the card Masquerade, and you have zero cards in hand, library and discard, what happens? I assume the person to your left will still have to pass a card along. Do you have to pass a card from play (potentially the Masquerade itself), or does the player to your left receive nothing, essentially reducing his or her deck by one card?

Out of interest, how did you reach the position of having zero cards in hand, library and discard?
Anyway, the answer is fairly simple, I think. Consider the following section of the rules, qualifying the action of "draw 5 cards from your deck":
It seems clear that Dominion follows the same rules philosophy as, for instance, Magic the Gathering: if you cannot fully carry out an action, carry out as much of it as you can.
First, you try to draw 2 cards. You can't, so instead you draw 0 cards.
Next, you try to pass a card left. You can't, so you don't, though you probably do receive a card from your right.
Next, assuming that you were passed a card, you have the option to trash it.
Simple enough!
As thesunneversets said, if you have no cards in hand and in your deck when you play dominion, you do not pass a card, but your opponent still has to. This is the key to the dreaded king's court / masquerade lock.
to quote dominionstrategy.com:
The basic ingredients are 2 king's court, goons/militia/ghost ship/outpost, and masquerade.
If these cards are in the kingdom in a 2-player game, the first to get the right combination usually wins the game, no matter how many provinces the other already has.
Setting it up is easier than you may think, if you aggressively use masquerade to trash cards, or have another trasher like chapel to help.
Even if your opponent buys 7 provinces while you set up this combo, once you have it running, your opponent will lose all their victory cards, start every turn with 0 cards and will only be able to buy copper or curses.
Once he has zero cards, you can deplete piles, and get some victory points on the last turn.
Only chance the other player has is getting a huge lead in vp chips before the lock hits, since vp chips cannot be taken away, and your own possibilities to gain vp while executing the combo are strictly limited.
Donald X, the creator of dominion has this to say about the combo:

Nebraska's first public charge station for electric cars opened in Nebraska City on Jan. 7.
The city partnered with Coulomb Technologies to provide the charging station at the city hall parking lot, 1409 Central Ave.
City Administrator Joe Johnson said it is fitting for the home of Arbor Day to be first in the state for the public station.
"The station meets the recharging needs of environmentally conscious drivers and it fits our vision," he said.
"The market is growing for electric vehicles," Mayor Jack Hobbie said. "We are the home of Arbor Day and Nebraska City draws environmentally conscious travelers, so the electric vehicle charging station is a natural fit for our community," he said.
There are charging stations at dealerships in Bellevue and Omaha, but this is the first charge station available on public grounds.
Johnson said motorists from Omaha and Lincoln could probably make the trip to Nebraska City and back on a full charge, but having the charge station here is reassuring for them.
Motorists with existing accounts with ChargePoint can use the station. There is a phone number posted at the station for new users to call.
Johnson said a three-hour charge would cost the user about 90 cents.
A Nissan Leaf uses 22 kilowatts for every 100 miles of driving, so it would cost $1.76. A full charge on the Leaf takes four to six hours.
Charge times vary depending on the vehicle and the amount of charge needed, but Leroy Frana of Nebraska City Utilities said the charging station is "level two," meaning it charges faster than a typical overnight home station.
ChargePoint intends to establish a national grid of stations and Johnson applied to the company for a grant to construct the station.

Supercomputer Project Aims to Simulate the Whole World
In a sort of giant Sim game, scientists are planning to use some of the world's largest supercomputers to simulate all life on Earth, including the financial system, economies and whole societies. The project is called Living Earth Simulator, and forms part of a huge EU research initiative named FuturIcT.

"I have two counts of first degree armed robbery."
"I got a manslaughter charge and a robbery charge. Right now, I've been her for 16 years."
Inmates end up in the Green River Correctional Complex for a variety of reason. But these inmates are getting a chance to make a difference for some dogs on Death Row at the Muhlenberg County Humane Society. The program is called Death Row Dogs.
Kim Pennington is the Director of the Humane Society. She says, "They'd be put to sleep. So this is a really neat program. It's a second chance for them."
Pennington picks dogs that people are not looking to adopt and they are brought to the prison. From there inmates take over.
Keith Smock is an inmate trainer in the program. She says, "When she first came in she was kind of timid around people. But she's learned how to sit, lay down, rollover, dance, she stays, she comes when I call her.
The inmate trainers form a special bond with the dogs.
Inmate trainer, Gary Roark says, "I think for a lot of us it's the first time in our lives we've ever actually experienced love."
At the end of the eight-week training the dogs know all kinds of tricks.
"Sadie sit, good girl!"
And they are adopted. Molly is a full-blooded German Shepard and she has been adopted by Kentucky Lt. Governor, Steve Pence. Georgia is a full-blooded Bloodhound and she is going to New York City to be a search and rescue dog. But each inmate trainer who finishes the program knows their time with the dogs, they have grown to love, has to come to an end.
Inmate trainer, John Orthober says, "I'm getting ready to lose a best friend today. I never thought about that either. Junior's back there. The little Snauzer that likes to dance. I never thought I'd get attached to a dog, but I can honestly say right now I'm attached."
In a few weeks it will start all over again and these inmates will give man's best friend another chance at life.
The Muhlenberg County Humane Society is receiving such a positive response to it's Death Row Dogs program that now they are going to surrounding counties' humane societies to try to save some of the dogs on Death Row there.

Top FavoriteNot too sweet; I love to use this as an all day vape or to reset the taste buds after using cinnamons or mints long term. Its refreshing and tasty. You shouldn't be disappointed.
Love it but rarely in stock.This is my second favorite juice behind WowBoy but I can rarely buy it in 0mg nic strength.
I don't know the supply issues with this juice but I hope they restock it soon at the 0mg nic level.
must trygreat flavor - my favorite
One of my Top FavoritesIt is like vaping a Jolly Rancher, and that is a good thing.
Great flavorI like it almost as much as grape.
Sour-candy-ishDunno if the other person got some bad juice or something, but it tastes and smells kinda like apple jolly ranchers to me. Flavour isn't quite strong enough in my opinion, but otherwise I really like it.
AwesomeNot sure about the review above this, but Sour Green Apple is one of my favorite e-cig flavors from V4L! Not to sour and not to much of a regular apple flavor. Just the perfect balance!
Definitely SourWhat can I say if you looking for sour apple than look no further. I'm not a big fan of fruit flavors but I figured I'd give it a try. Kind of has a perfume taste on the inhale. I think I'll stick to the tobacco flavors from now on.
very goodcrisp red delicious apple! very good.
GOOD FLAVORnice flavor, green apple

WACO (January 8, 2012)- A local nightclub that has been surrounded by violence, officially surrendered its liquor license and closed for good January 2nd.
Club Alazan in Waco, has been targeted by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage and Commission during the past months. Alazan agreed to give up their liquor license and close for good in November after TABC slapped them with multiple violations.
TABC Spokesperson Victor Kuykendoll says the club was mainly targeted for possesion of non-invoiced alcoholic beverages.
In 2006, a man was stabbed in the head and torso while leaving Alazan.
The club saw shootings in 2008 and 2010, and earlier this year two men were robbed at gun point in the Alazan parking lot.
In October 2012, a man was stabbed to death in the Alazan parking lot. No arrests have been made following that stabbing yet.

Larry Gould is a Frenchman by birth, an Englishman by education and a South African by choice.
He is a former international hotelier, having worked in Europe, USA, the Caribbean, East Africa and the Seychelles. During this time in the hospitality industry he earned the nickname the "Golfing Hotelier" because of his passion for the game.
He came to South Africa in 1979 for a three-week holiday and never left. He told us: "I fell in love with the scenery, the beaches, the mountains, the people and, as a Frenchman, the wine!"
In South Africa he has been the General Manager of Fancourt in George, and with the advent of democracy and the impending tourism boom he identified the need for a guide to local golf courses for international golfers.
For the past 18 years he has produced his regional guides The Larry Gould Guides to Golf (where to play and where to stay).

Palladino: Northwestern controls boards, gets win
The final score was 72-62, Northwestern over Terryville, in Berkshire League boys basketball Wednesday. But these other numbers tell the real story: 43-23. That was the rebounding edge held by the Highlanders over the Kangaroos.
This showdown between BL unbeatens was won on the glass.
Mike Jeffko grabbed 16 rebounds for the Highlanders (5-0), and Connor Guiheen scored 26, and also snared 10 boards, as the defending BL champions showed some muscle in their first major test this season.
The Kangaroos (5-1) ran with Northwestern, scored in the open court, and buried eight 3-pointers on the night, but Terryville simply couldn't win the struggle in the paint.
"We put on the board before the game that we had to check off a lot of boxes to compete with these guys," said Terryville coach Mark Fowler, "and No. 1 was 'D' boards, and, we couldn't check that box off tonight."
Northwestern wasn't making shots early, but it was second-chance hoops, and third-chance hoops, and on a few trips, fourth-chance hoops, that proved critical.
"We know we get a lot of scoring form our guards," said Jeffko, who also scored 12. "We have awesome guards. And we know that if we can control the boards we had a strong chance to win this game. We weren't hitting too much early in the game, and those boards were helping."
"He was awesome," Northwestern coach Doug Sebach said of Jeffko. "It was hard to take him out of the game. I had to give him a breather, he was fighting so hard on the boards."
Along with Jeffko and Guiheen in double figures, John Stevens scored 16, with five assists and three steals, and John
See NW, Page 5C
Lippincott, getting a first start, added 13 points and five rebounds.
Northwestern was leading comfortably in the first half, and when Stevens hit back-to-back hoops midway through the second, the Highlanders had their biggest lead, 28-16.
But Terryville refused to let the Highlanders run and hide. Tyler Trillo had the hot hand, and his 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer brought the Kangaroos within one point. When he scored off a steal to start the second half, Terryville had its first lead. In a 90-second spurt, Trillo hit two 3-pointers and two free throws, and with 1:28 to play in the third, Terryville led 45-44, and had the momentum.
But then Northwestern exploded on a 17-2 run over a five minute span to close this game out.
"That's what we expected," said Trillo. "We tried to limit them, but their offense has so many weapons. They out-boarded us. They got into the paint, and everyone crashed."
Guiheen led the final push, with a drive, an offensive board, and then Stevens scored off a steal, and when he stole the inbounds pass he assisted on a Lippincott hoop.
It was close for a long time, but then Northwestern ran away in a flash.
"In the second half especially we stepped it up," said Guiheen, talking about team defense. "John and I got some steals, but it comes from everybody. If everybody guards their guy tight then they have nowhere to go, and that's going to create the easy steals.
"The extra pressure we brought in the second half broke it open for us."
It is, perhaps, the experience that comes from playing and winning big games last season. That experience is what Terryville seeks.
"We're gaining it," Fowler said. "I'd like to say we're there, but, you think about how many times we handed them two points. We probably did it three or four times, and in a six- or eight-point game, there's the difference."
Trillo had 30, with four steals, while Shea Tracy added 11, Jacob Johnson nine (seven rebounds, five assists), and Arthur Trent 10 boards.
The big stat of the night though, belonged to Jeffko, with his 16 boards. So there you go, BL coaches, there's your Northwestern scouting report. If you want to beat the Highlanders on the scoreboard, you must first beat the Highlanders on the glass. Good luck.

Today I will show you how to draw an Ocelot, step by step. The ocelot cat looks very much like a miniature leopard. These wild cats can be found in places like Trinidad, Margarita, Central America, and Mexico. All of the countries I listed are all in South America. The ocelot has also been seen in North America in places like Texas and even in Arizona. What is amazing about these cats is they are as cute as a domestic cat, and have some of the same traits as one as well. They are fairly small in size compared to say a bobcat or lynx. They are a lot more slender and feline as well with weights from anywhere between eighteen and forty pounds. Anyways, I do hope you like this lesson on drawing an ocelot. I will be back in a bit with more drawing fun for you so stay tuned in.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Georgia is home to the third best elementary school archery team in the country after this month's National Archery in the Schools Program National Tournament. Woodlawn Elementary's finish is the highest ever by a Georgia school competing at NASP Nationals, which saw more than 6,700 student archers from 34 states compete in the elementary, middle and high school divisions. The tournament is the largest archery competition in the world.
Georgia School rankings:
Woodlawn Elementary School in Chatsworth finished third in the country in the elementary division with a team score of 3,243. Woodlawn won the Georgia-NASP elementary school title during the state tournament in February.
Bay Creek Elementary School in Loganville placed ninth in the division (4th-6th grade) with its score of 3,157, while Youth Elementary School finished 32nd nationally with a score of 3,030. Ninety-One elementary school teams, made up of 16-24 student archers, from around the United State competed.
Morgan County Middle School in Madison placed 58th in the middle school division (7th-8th grade) with a 3,031. East Laurens Middle School in East Dublin shot a 2,905 to place 85th, while Dodge County Middle in Eastman fired a 2,860 to finish 92nd. There were 106 middle schools teams competing.
Georgia Student rankings:
Individually, Bay Creek Elementary's Jon Bailey placed 10th nationally by shooting a 285 in the elementary division. Bailey's score was the top fifth-grade male score in the country.
Parker Kimery of Sharon Elementary in Loganville was fourth overall among fourth-grade males by shooting a 274. Bay Creek Elementary's Michelle Childers and Woodlawn Elementary's Haley Bagley each fired a 274 to place in the top 10 among fifth-grade females.
Joshua Peterson of Dodge County Middle placed 23rd nationally among seventh-grade males with his score of 282.
NASP is an in-school archery curriculum that meets all education department standards. Only schools that are certified in NASP through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are qualified to compete. Schools in nearly 71 counties in Georgia are NASP certified.
The program promotes instruction in international-style target archery to improve educational performance and participation in shooting sports.

AT&T testing wireless technology in Waukesha
The number of dropped cellphone calls and wireless dead zones could decline under technology that AT&T Corp. is testing in Waukesha and plans to ramp up in the next couple of years.
The technology uses small antennas that can be mounted on lampposts, utility poles and buildings, to provide wireless coverage in places where large cell towers aren't practical or don't offer good coverage.
Older versions of the "small cell" technology have been used in sports stadiums and other locations where people gather, including Miller Park, for years. What's new is that AT&T says it plans to install more than 40,000 small cell transmitters on its wireless network by the end of 2015 - with the installations stemming from tests done in Waukesha and Crystal Lake Park, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis. »Read Full Article(12)

Double murder probe leads to sexual assault charges in Waupaca County
Waupaca - An Oklahoma man who DNA evidence recently tied to a 1990 sexual assault is considered a person of interest in a 1992 double murder in Waupaca County, sheriff's officials said Monday.

Aging population, fewer business start-ups restrain Wisconsin job growth, report says
Madison - Job growth in Wisconsin has largely lagged behind the nation since the mid-1990s, held back by our age and apparent reluctance to take risks, according to a report by the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance.
The sobering report shows the state's work force has failed to keep up with even the weak growth seen in the rest of the country since the 2001 recession.
Since 1996, the state has outperformed the nation in creating jobs only 27% of the time. That's a marked reversal from the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the state consistently beat the national growth rates. »Read Full Article(553)

Oconomowoc woman found not guilty by reason of insanity in child stabbing
Dana M. Hooper, accused of stabbing her infant daughter to death last September, was found to be not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect at a court hearing on Feb. 4.
Judge William J. Domina ordered the 33-year-old Oconomowoc resident to remain in institutional care for life and denied conditional release because of the potential threat Hooper could pose to herself or others.
Two court-appointed psychiatrists, Dr. Deborah Collins and Dr. John Pankiewicz, determined that Hooper suffered from a psychotic disorder. Hooper said that in the weeks leading up to the murder of her child, she was suffering from mood swings, hallucinations and frequent periods of sleeplessness, made worse by an antidepressant she was prescribed.

Pastor gets probation, home confinement on income tax charges
A pastor who ran a private choice school in Milwaukee and was convicted of filing a false income tax return was sentenced to two years probation including four months of home confinement last week in federal court.
Gregory Goner, 42, of Milwaukee, also was ordered to pay $68,128 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service by U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman. Federal sentencing guidelines called for 10 to 16 months in prison. Adelman provided a statement of reasons he went below the guidelines but that statement was sealed.
Goner's attorney, Rodney Cubbie, submitted letters to Adelman about how Goner has served as a foster parent to a number of children. Those letters were added to Goner's file.
Goner, pastor of Spirit Governed Baptist Church, also was president and chief administrator of Excel Academy, which taught kindergarten through high school. It operated in various locations between 2004 and 2010, most recently at 4744 N. 39th St. The Department of Education granted about $100,000 to the school each year during that time.

History between War Memorial, Art Museum disrupts overhaul
On the way toward reshaping the more than half-century relationship between the War Memorial Center and the Milwaukee Art Museum, old history and simmering resentments are threatening to disrupt a planned $25 million overhaul of the iconic lakefront temple that's home to the museum and local veterans groups.

New biography explores Rosa Parks' lifetime of activism
For her 100th birthday, the late Rosa Parks has received a special gift: a new biography by historian Jeanne Theoharis designed to prove that when it comes to the civil rights movement, Parks was more than a one-hit wonder.
Parks, born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala., is the African-American woman who was memorably arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest triggered a bus boycott in Montgomery and made Parks one of the icons of the civil rights movement.
In her biography "The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks" (Beacon Press), Theoharis, a professor of political science at Brooklyn College, makes it clear that Parks' challenge was not the isolated act of a tired woman, as the haze of time and myth now seem to us believe. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
