This Medals thread is slowly claryfing who is the third component of our Big 3. Good job, man. Really.
Clippers Vs. Spurs - 2014-01-04
Gold: Jamal Crawford - Picked it up big-time in the second half. Ends with 24 points.
Silver: Darren Collison - Respectable performance in place of Paul.
Bronze: Blake Griffin - No double-double, but a nice all-around game.
-------------------------Medal List-------------------------------------
Platinum Medal
Gold Medal
Clippers Vs. Magic - 2014-01-06
Gold: DeAndre Jordan - Dominated all game long and ended with 14 points, 17 rebounds, and 8 blocks.
Silver: Darren Collison - Had a perfect first half along with 4 steals.
Bronze: Blake Griffin - Another great all-around game, 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists including a windmill dunk.
^^^Blakes' numbers are in only 24 minutes!! and 3 steals, with some sick dribbling!!
Here is what I saw;
Platinum-DJ---Dude was a beast, would have loved to see him log a triple double
Gold---DC, if we get 75% of last nights performance until CP3 returns we will be just fine
Silver--BG, looked great in limited time
Bronze---Not sure if the entire bench should be included in this, sorta let ORL back into the game at one point. Matt looked good as did Willie, big drop off from those two IMHO though.
Clippers Vs. Celtics - 2014-01-08
Gold: Blake Griffin - Once again displaying his all-around game, 29 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds.
Silver: Jared Dudley - Nailed three long-distant shots in a row. Could have used some more in the second half.
Bronze: Jamal Crawford - 26 points, but shot rather inefficiently.
Dj gets bronze over Crawford easily. Not sure why Crawford even gets a mention with Collison playing better than him too.
shooting better doesn't equate to playing better. If jamal decides he is only going to take 12-15 shots to play more efficiently we get blown out its that simple. What he does takes a lot of pressure off the other guys whether its certainly not pretty but he is gotta stay in attack mode for us to have a chance.
8/26 from the floor. Horrendous shot selection. Sub-par defense.
Lets not confuse aggressiveness with chucking ill advised shots.
Otherwise we can label guys like Rudy Gay, J.R. Smith and Josh Smith as "aggressive players" who take a lot of pressure off their team when their terrible shot selection and ball hogging does the opposite.
And there is absolutely no way we get "blown out" if Jamal takes less bad shots. That train of thought doesn't even make sense. There were several plays where he could have made the pass to an open man or try to get a better shot but he decided to go J.R. Smith mode instead.
There was a play where Dudley was wide open from 3 and he decided to turn the ball over instead.
I am tired of people giving him a pass. If any of our other key players played this poorly for this long the criticism would be much greater.
2 steals for BG also!
AND a Monster Jam!!!!
If Jamal starts out 2-7 and then decides because CP3Heliflopter doesn't like my shot selection then Ill just start passing up shots and get Willie or Barnes etc more shots that we don't get blown out.
Offensive aggressiveness is not always about efficiency its about controlling the pace of the game. Did you se the entire team get down because jamal missed shots? NO because they expect him to take and make those shots. he took about 5 bad shots the rest were just flat out misses that are infuriating misses that everyone knows he should make.
This illusion that some have created that we have this ridiculous amount of offensive talent is just gone way too far. We have 4 credible offensive nba players and two are out Blake and jamal did exactly hat they must do while CP is out. That is be ultra aggressive whether they hit or miss and play through it because the goal is to keep the entire team energized and aggressiveness.
If when Darren gets into foul trouble Jamal goes into fg% shell what do we do? Didn't Doc say he was working on the teams body language? What you are talking about just simply doesn't apply to this situation.
A undermanned team needing a volume shooting night from one of its two top remaining scorers to win ....who would've thunk it !!!
Gold medals for the Celtics who played like the Celtics and almost stealing the game because we got sloppy. We played like the Baron Davis Clippers at the end.
Clippers Vs. Lakers - 2014-01-10
Platinum: Blake Griffin - Showcased the whole package. Incredible effort throughout the game.
Gold: Darren Collison - Stayed consistent, making 9-12 including 7 assists and 5 rebounds.
Silver: J.J. Redick - Welcome back J.J. Came out, as usual, hot in the first quarter and ended with 19 points.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - 7 blocks with another double-double, 13 points and 10 boards.
Hard to argue with those.
Gotta give DJ the Gold, move everyone else down a notch. He anchored the D! 7 blocks and a handful of other altered shots!! All in all great team win. Hard to assign medals.
Definitely plat for Blake. Gold is debatable. Probably DJ.
Nominees for the dogshit medal... Byron Mullens... OR... the Los Angeles Lakers.
Tough call.
Gold-JJ tied with DJ
Bronze-Team defense
I was scouring the internet looking for a poorly written all BG does is dunk article to shoot holes in, no luck. BG manhandled the entire freaking Laker team down low yesterday. No one was spared in his assault on the rim!
I almost cried when CP went down, however, (as the eternal optimist I seem to be) I wonder if in fact playing without CP and letting others get better without him playing then inserting him back late Feb or so will make us a better team?
Clippers Vs. Mavericks - 2014-01-15
Gold: J.J. Redick - Terrific in the first half. The Mavs seriously limited him in the second half though until his last three.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Incredible assist numbers with 8. Also scored 23 points.
Bronze: Matt Barnes - Thankfully broke out of his slump with 5 threes.
I would give Reddick a platinum for hitting a new career high in points.
Otherwise, I agree.
(Pssst Battlegun, check out Redick stats tonight. He has a bit more than 19 points. Other than that, good job, man.)
Platinum- redick: he earns it with 33, incredibly efficiently, 5 dimes and 3 boards while keeping ellis quiet.
Gold- Blake: workman like game. Never stopped playing and saw the floor very well. Put him over Barnes for goading a Flagrant (Dalembert) and a T (Carter and Calderon)
Silver- Barnes: incredibly hot from deep, nice at crashing the boards.
Bronze-DJ: came up clutch at the end, and really our only defender/rebounder for much of the game.
That was for Redick's game against the Lakers. I usually wait until the next game until he gets his spot on the medal list.
Oh, very sorry about that. Saw JJ down there and confused me. Sorry again. Tried to be a smart ass and backfired, lol.
I like his spinning moves at the rim.
Agree with this. Barnes did shoot a lot of 3s but he was hot so I was ok with that and those 3s were usually good looks. He needs to focus on cutting more and if his 3 point shot is off he shouldn't force the issue since he is a streaky shooter.
Plat--JJ, hands down
Gold-Giving it to Matty as its the first game in a long time he looked good
Silver--Hard to give BG the silver but I felt like he waited too long to exert himself
Bronze--JC, feel its only right the Mav's got screwed on that last second play against marrion seeing how they have won two games that should have been called fouls
I tell ya, I never leave a game early but on the games I give away and watch on TV there has only been 2 in 2 seasons I Have turned off early because I was so pissed. Last year it was Pacers in LA, this year against PHX at home. I came dangerously close to turning it off last night but I was so pissed with them down 17 with 6:05 to go I thought lets see how much of a beating they are willing to take. Don't know about the rest of you but last nights win says a lot about the character of the team and Doc as well.
Clippers Vs. Knicks - 2014-01-17
Gold: Blake Griffin - High scorer of the game with 32 with 7 rebounds and 3 steals.
Silver: Jamal Crawford - 29 points and 4 assists and made the key shots to stretch out the lead.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Another 16 rebounds to go along with 11 points and 3 blocks. Even made 3-4 free-throws.
Hey, I agree with you completely!
Clippers Vs. Pacers - 2014-01-18
Gold: Blake Griffin - Nice all-around game. but could have done more than going 6-18.
Silver: DeAndre Jordan - Probably the only consistent player on the Clippers with 12 and 17 rebounds.
Bronze: Jamal Crawford - Got his points, but not efficiently.
Clippers Vs. Pistons - 2014-01-20
Gold: Jamal Crawford - Finally an efficient performance, going 9-13 from the field in just under 27 minutes.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Second highest scorer for the Clippers with 25. Could have brought down more boards.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Yet another 20 rebound performance. Includes 16 points also.
DJ deserves the gold. He was the difference maker from the moment the game started.
yeah finally!
And finally Reddick hat a nice performance after the first quarter
Switch blake and deandre set least IMHO. Blake's rebounding is really sliding. That isn't good.
Stats wise is not good. But Blake is playing farther from the basket and is kinda de facto PG sometimes. Rebounding dip shouldve been expected. He is playing more like a Lebron role at times.
Yeah this was a crazy one. 4 guys who had great games as far as I'm concerned. Almost interchangeable. Jamal shot well and had the highest +/-. JJ shot well, had the best distribution rate and second best +/-, But Blake and DJ gave great all around efforts. I guess what I'm saying is LET'S DO THIS AGAIN!!!
I don't think most people are worried about his offensive rebounding (and he had 3, higher than his season average today), the teams game plan already limits that, it is defensive rebounding which has nothing to do with where he is playing on offense.
With that said, the team only gave up 8 offensive rebounds and out-rebounded the Pistons 44-30. I'm not so worried about an individuals personal rebounding total if the team is rebounding well. That is what is most important. Maybe Blake could have grabbed some loose rebounds that someone else got from them, but that wasn't changing the game or having any impact.
Clippers Vs. Bobcats - 2014-01-22
Gold: Blake Griffin - What can you say?
Silver: Jamal Crawford - Picked up the scoring when Griffin was out and ended with 20.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - I realize his 19 rebounds, but only two points.
Clippers Vs. Bulls - 2014-01-24
Gold: Blake Griffin - Yet another all-around game, well-deserving of his all-star selection.
Silver: Darren Collison - Proving again to be the steal of the off-season, with 17 points and 3 assists.
Bronze: Jamal Crawford - Hopefully his efficiency doesn't wear off during the second half of the road trip.
I think Doc wanted JJ so that he could:
a) Make shots when open
b) Force defenders to have to chase after him and guard him.
He did both tonight, scoring 18 points (4-7 from 3) and got 5 assists and a steal. Not bad for someone who didn't medal.
Clippers Vs. Raptors - 2014-01-25
Gold: Jamal Crawford - One of his best as a Clipper. Double-double with 37 points and 11 assists.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Another 25+ point game with 30 points.
Bronze: J.J. Redick - Despite shooting poorly in the first half, he closed the game with clutch shots.
Sounds about right to me
Disagree with this respectfully. Matt Barnes was the only thing standing in the way of Ross dropping 60 on us and the W.
Gold: Jamal
Silver: Barnes
Bronze: Blake
Cannot disagree with this at all.
Clippers Vs. Bucks - 2014-01-27
Gold: Jamal Crawford - 25 points and 3 assists for his final game of a terrific 2 weeks.
Silver: J.J. Redick - Hits 3 from beyond the arc (14 Points) in just 24 minutes.
Bronze: Blake Griffin - Decent game to end the road trip.
Clippers Vs. Wizards - 2014-01-29
Gold: Blake Griffin - Once again the high scorer of the game. Also added 9 rebounds and 4 assists.
Silver: J.J. Redick - Extremely efficient, going 7 for 11.
Bronze: Darren Collison - Distributed the ball well and had a hot first half.
The Spurs are 1-10 against teams in the top seven in terms of winning percentage, 32-1 against everybody else ... and play zero home games between Feb. 3 and Feb. 26, with three key rotation guys (Leonard, Splitter and Green) all out injured.
I believe we leapfrog someone in next few weeks!
No DeAndre Jordan???? WTF, he's the main reason we won.

Editor's note: This is the third of a three-part series about the Aiken Together campaign that was recently announced to raise funds through private donations for the Center for African American History, Art and Culture, the Aiken Visitors Center and Train Museum and the funding to open a Savannah River Site Heritage Center. Today's story covers the Savannah River Site Heritage Center.
The third major project in the Aiken Together campaign is a Savannah River Site Heritage Center, which will be housed in downtown Aiken.
Chaired by Savannah River Nuclear Solutions CEO Dwayne Wilson, Aiken Together will look to raise funds for the development or completion of the Center for African American History, Art and Culture; the Aiken Visitors Center and Train Museum; and the Savannah River Site Heritage Center.
"SRS has always been a major influence on the community and the nation. It has produced numerous scientific accomplishments and forever changed the lifestyle of the surrounding communities, schools, roadways and employment demographic," said J. Walter Joseph, executive director of the SRS Heritage Foundation.
The SRS Heritage Center would be built in a downtown Aiken building; although, members of Aiken Together have not specified yet which one.
The center will showcase the history of the Site, including its past and present work and people. It will feature a timeline and a series of videos, photographs and interactive exhibits all related to the legacy of SRS. Exhibits will cover the Cold War, nuclear physics, the impacts of the Site, those who had to make major lifestyle changes, technology and accomplishments of the Site.
"People brought their interests and enthusiasms to Aiken, and SRS and contributed to things like the Aiken Playhouse," Joseph added. "That story needs to be told so that young people will get a sense of the pleasures and excitements of working in the technical fields."
Funds raised by Aiken Together will be used for building reconfiguration, infrastructure to accommodate visitors and exhibit design and installations. The group prides itself in using zero public funding. Instead, it is seeking funding from businesses, companies and corporations.
According to the organization, about 31 percent of the allocated funds will be used for the Heritage Center, with 41 percent going toward the Center for African-American culture and 28 percent to the Aiken Visitors Center and Train Museum.
"Aiken has such a rich heritage," Joseph added. "The SRS Heritage Foundation is leading the effort. We're a nonprofit, and our mission is to preserve the history of the Site, and this museum will be a major step in doing that."
Submitted photo An old Aiken Standard article about the Savannah River Site showcases just a taste of what the Savannah River Heritage Center would like to highlight in its proposed building and center through the Aiken Together capital campaign.×

The MBT Index simplifies the process of finding the right level of MBT shoe for your needs. It ranks MBT into one of three categories, starting at Activate, our least level of rock, and progressing through Dynamic and ending with our highest level of rock, Performance.
Love the rocker bottom and the go-with everything grey. The 38 fit my 7 1/2 post-surgery but still wide at the front feet.
I have these sandals in 2 different colors. They are very stylish for an MBT. These are the only shoes I can wear due to many foot surgeries and foot problems. Love them.
much better looking than all the rest of my MBT's. My feet are much happier wearing this brand than anything else in the world. I put my orthotics in all my shoes, even sandals. The gunmetal Pia has become my favorite -- it makes me feel pretty.
These are great sandals for casual use. Easy to put on and take off thanks to the two velcro straps. I can walk around for quite awhile and my flat feet still feel good.
These are really beautiful shoes, the metallic color is gorgeous, but if your feet are the least bit on the narrow side, they will probably not work for you. I have about 15 pairs of MBTs . . . I love them and they are pretty much the only brand I have worn for years because the are sooooo comfortable and have really helped my back problems, but the sizing is definitely different for these Pia sandals than what I am used to . Normally the Velcro adjustment/buckle will enable me to make the straps tight enough to wear comfortably and for the styles that tie, I can tie them tight enough to wear, but these have an additional piece of elastic in the front strap that made it impossible for me to pull the strap tight across the front of my feet so I had to return them. I have noticed that several of the newer lower profile shoes from MBT have also seemed to run a bit larger than the higher soled styles I was used to purchasing. I usually do not call my feet narrow, but in this style I guess they were. I gave them 3 stars because they are really pretty, but if they had fit my foot they would have been 5 stars for sure.
strap across toes and ankle can cause irritation after long wear
I've had heel pain for one year, and it's hadn't been getting better. I was told that wearing MBTs for 4 days straight would fix my feet. I'm on day 2 and I can say they feel much better.
Just wish the styles were a bit more...stylish.
I had been experiencing painful plantar fasciitis for about 2 months when someone told me about MBT shoes. I had stopped exercising and doing yoga. I was able to walk without pain for the first time in 2 months when I started wearing my MBT sandals. I have a very narrow foot and can wear these because of the velco straps. I even put these on when I wake up at night and walk to the bathroom. I highly recommend them.
I love MBTs and I LOVE the PIA sandal! This is my third pair of PIAs. I now have the black, beige, and gunmetal leather! They are soooo comfortable. I can work in them for hours. They're true to size. My feet never get hot, tired, or uncomfortable! They look like normal shoes. I always get compliments on them, especially the 2 tone ones (the beige and the gunmetal)
I wish it was always summertime here, so I could wear then year round! My feet feel like they are walking on air! Truly the best purchase!

ALBUQUERQUE � Two 6-month-old Mexican gray wolf pups are navigating southwestern New Mexico�s Gila forest on their own now that their troubled pack has splintered, worrying environmentalists who think the animals� chances of survival are slim.
This week�s efforts to track the Fox Mountain pack show the pups are miles apart and far from the pack�s alpha male. Environmentalists blame federal wildlife managers, who ordered the pack�s alpha female � the pups� mother � captured and removed from the wild in response to a string of cattle kills.
The fate of the pack is fueling the latest wave of frustration over the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service�s handling of the 14-year effort to reintroduce wolves to the American Southwest. The frustration has taken the form of online petitions, public-records requests and now a lawsuit.
WildEarth Guardians, a Santa Fe-based environmental group, announced Wednesday that it was asking a federal court to force the Fish and Wildlife Service to release documents related to management of the Fox Mountain pack. Another public records request filed by the Center for Biological Diversity has gone unanswered. A third has netted hundreds of pages of blacked-out documents, raising questions about decision-making within the wolf program.
Fish and Wildlife Service regional spokeswoman Charna Lefton said Wednesday she could not comment on the pending litigation.
Wendy Keefover, director of WildEarth Guardians� carnivore-protection program, questioned the veracity of the evidence used by wildlife managers to link the alpha female to the cattle kills.
�We have yet to see proof that the loba actually killed livestock, and none appears to be forthcoming,� she said, adding that the female wolf should be reunited with the pack.
The pack has been blamed for six cattle deaths, including four that happened outside the wolf recovery boundaries within a four-month period.
Ranchers have long voiced their opposition to wolf reintroduction, pointing to economic losses as well as safety issues for rural residents. Gov. Susana Martinez even asked the Fish and Wildlife Service to capture and relocate the entire Fox Mountain pack.
Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity said no livestock killings had been reported in the pack�s territory for months leading up to the alpha female�s capture. He said the wolf�s removal was unnecessary and now the pups could end up starving.
�The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has treated the removal of this animal as just removing a piece from a chess board,� Robinson said. �What we see again is that these are social animals and that the remainder of the pack is no longer a pack at this point.�
Wildlife managers have been struggling to boost the wolf population and the number of packs in New Mexico and Arizona since the reintroduction program began in 1998. Efforts have been hampered by everything from politics to lawsuits and illegal shootings.
An annual survey done at the beginning of the year showed at least 58 wolves in the wild � far below what biologists had initially expected.
The next survey will begin in January, and Lefton said the hope is that some of the pups born this year will make it through the winter.
Wolf program managers said they are monitoring the Fox Mountain pups but no supplemental feeding is planned.
Managers are considering several options for releasing wolves in Arizona to replace three wolves that were killed over the past year, but no final decisions have been made.

A three goal differential can be burdensome.
But, imagine being down by three goals before the opening bowl-in. Crestview was faced with the encumbrance of a three goal deficit because of the handicap differential in the finals Sunday of the New Bridge USPA Pete Bostwick Memorial 12-goal. A strong second half by Crestview would give them a 14-13 victory.
However, with Crestview having their work thoroughly defined, it was imperative for them to get off to a good start, and they did so with Santi Torres scoring the game's first goal from the field. Crestview made some adjustments to their lineup with Torres moving to forward, after playing at the no. 2 position for the better part of the tournament.
Foxdale Equine Services/Myco responded, with a goal from the player earning Most Valuable Player honors, the quarterback of the team, and the player who dictated the pace of the play for much of the game, Julian Daniels. Crestview's Pelon Escapite kept the game close with a successful 30-yard penalty shot.
Crestview's pressing need for offense found them creating additional opportunities, and they would reduce the lead to to a one goal margin as Alan Meeker finished a play started by Santi Torres.
However, the game saw a number of overly ambitious feeds and deep drives into the opposition's zone, but whether or not the teams were able to capitalize was a totally different story. Foxdale Equine Services/Myco made the most of their opportunities, with one player in particular providing the catalyst. Will Tankard's three goal chukker, that saw him score one goal from the field, and two on successful penalty conversions, gave the team some breathing room. But, Crestview persevered and began to get off the mat as Santi Torres scored from the ensuing bowl-in after the third of Tankard's goals. Crestview kept the pressure on with another deep drive, but failed to score.
At no time did either team exhibit so much flash that it took away from the players attention to detail. Crestview's teamwork began clicking late in the second chukker, and their patience began to create scoring opportunities. Pelon Escapite successfully converted a 30-yard penalty shot. Foxdale Equine Services/Myco's Julian Daniels took the ball half the length of the field, while being closely marked, and finished the play. Tankard picked up his fourth goal of the first half, converting a 30-yard penalty shot. Crestview's ability to withstand the early storm, enabled them to regroup and direct their focus toward changing the momentum of the game, and it was teamwork that resulted in a goal for Santi Torres, to reduce the deficit to three goals.
Crestview won the second half's opening bowl-in, but it was Foxdale Equine Services/Myco scoring first it the fourth chukker, as Will Tankard continued to be lethal with his penalty shots. Tankard also was solid defensively stifling several scoring opportunities. But, the script flipped. Crestview would score five consecutive goals, taking advantage of Foxdale Equine Services/Myco's new alignment on the bowl-ins. Santi Torres worked through dense. heavy traffic that had set up in front of the goal mouth to score. Crestview would continue its torrid scoring pace, with Escapite finishing a play started by Torres. The margin would be reduced to one goal late in the chukker as Escapite scored on a 60-yard penalty conversion.
"We forced them to change," said Escapite. "We played more of a zone defense early in the game, and decided that it wasn't working for us, so we began going to the man, and they had to change the way they were aligned during the bowl-ins. The adjustment helped us a lot because we had been losing the bowl-ins."
It was different times and different circumstances in the second half as Crestview continued their amazing transformation. Escapite's successful 30-yard penalty conversion tied the game. Foxdale Equine Services/Myco had an outstanding scoring opportunity with Daniels feeding Joe Meyer, but the shot would go wide right of the goal mouth. Pelon Escapite gave Crestview their first lead of the game, the direct result of a successful penalty no. 2. However, that did nothing to stop the intrepid Julian Daniels, who managed to score, despite being marked closely by two defenders.
The goal breathed new life into Foxdale Equine Services/Myco as Hugh Worsham stole the ball in the opposition's territory, and an attempted give-and-go with Daniels, created a scoring opportunity, for Daniels, providing Foxdale Equine Services/Myco with a one goal advantage. However, Crestview tied the game on another successful penalty shot by Escapite.
Crestview's well-disciplined approach during the final chukker of play saw several foul calls going their way. Escapite launched a 60-yard penalty shot through the uprights, and would follow that with a successful 30-yard penalty conversion. Tankard reduced the deficit to one goal with 1:54 remaining.
"We saved our best horses for the second half," said Escapite. "Julian does such a good job in organizing his horses."
Foxdale Equine Services/Myco's Hugh Worsham's Walter the Wall was selected as the Best Playing Amatuer Pony, and Julian Daniels' Cobra was named Best Playing Professional Pony.

GOLDEN � An 18-year-old told a 911 dispatcher last fall that he kidnapped and killed a missing suburban Denver school girl and had hidden her remains in a crawl space at his mother�s home, according to a recording played by a prosecutor in court Friday.
The recording was played at a preliminary hearing at which a judge decided there�s enough evidence for Austin Sigg to stand trial in both the death of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway in October and an attack on a jogger at nearby Ketner Lake in May.
Sigg is charged with murder, kidnapping, sexual assault and robbery. Prosecutors also added three counts of sexual exploitation of a child because child pornography was allegedly found during the investigation.
Jessica�s disappearance on her way to school set parents in the Denver area on edge for weeks last October. Hundreds of officers canvassed the area, investigated leads and took DNA samples as parents waited with their children at bus stops and thought twice about letting them out of sight.
On Oct. 23, Sigg�s mother called 911 to say her son wanted to turn himself in and had confessed to killing the girl. When the dispatcher asked what Austin Sigg said, Mindy Sigg replied, �That he did it, and he gave me details, and her remains are in my house.�
She can be heard crying and asking if her son will talk to the dispatcher, who asks him general questions.
�I don�t exactly get why you�re asking me these questions. I murdered Jessica Ridgeway. I have proof that I did it,� Austin Sigg said. �You have to send a squad car down here, and I�ll answer any questions you want to ask me.�
He also said the remains were in a crawl space.
When asked about his criminal record, he told the dispatcher: �The only other thing that I have done was the Ketner Lake incident where the woman got attacked. That was me.�
The teen allegedly had told his mother he kidnapped Jessica as she walked past his car, bound her arms and her legs, placed her in the back seat, drove around for a little bit, then took her to his house, said Westminster police Detective Michael Lynch, who interviewed Mindy Sigg.
He said the teen allegedly had Jessica change clothes and tried to strangle her, first with zip ties and later with his hands. He said he then took the girl�s body to a bathtub where he dismembered her using a saw, Lynch testified.
�Austin said that he didn�t rape her,� Lynch said. �It was a comment he had made right off the bat, �I didn�t rape her. I didn�t torture her.��
The teen had been on investigators� radar before his mother turned him in. A neighbor called a tip line suggesting they check him out because he seemed preoccupied with death, Westminster police Detective Luis Lopez said.
Two FBI agents responded and took a DNA sample from Sigg on Oct. 19, four days before his mother called 911.
Lopez said Sigg�s DNA � the kind left behind by touching something � was found on Jessica�s remains and clothing, but no semen was found.
The judge originally ordered the hearing Friday to be closed to the public, but the Colorado Supreme Court sided with media organizations who argued that he failed to show that holding the hearing in public would jeopardize Sigg�s right to a fair trial.
Some of Jessica�s remains were found in garbage bags in an open space park five days after she disappeared. Friday was the first time investigators revealed that the bags contained her torso. Lopez said she died of asphyxiation.
The case set parents in the Denver area on edge as weeks passed without an arrest. Police asked residents to look for anything suspicious from their bosses, friends and family members, watching for things like leaving home unexpectedly, missing appointments or changing their appearance.
Lopez said Sigg�s mother turned her son in a day before testing was completed on the DNA sample taken based on the neighbor�s tip.
Former classmates of Sigg described him as smart and interested in mortuary science.
Arraignment is set for March 12.

Sunday night saw the screening of another episode of the US version of Who Do You Think You Are?, this one featuring actress Brooke Shields.
At the start I was beginning to wonder if there was going to be any genealogy, as it seemed to take ages to get moving and away from the fact that she was from New York.
The first part in Newark was quite interesting, not only because of the obligatory 'celebrity trying to work a microfilm reader' shot, but also because of the picture that the historian was able to paint of the neighbourhood.
I did feel that the programme left this side of the family a bit prematurely. I would have liked to find out where the (probably) immigrant ancestors had come from, but I guess the travel budget was being saved for the other side of the family.
The other side of the family was the rich and famous side, and as such there was no genealogy seen on screen, other than the handing over of a scroll with her father's ancestry already laid out for her.
We have seen this several times on the UK version, where the show moves away from researching and interpreting the lives of the ancestors, to capturing the reaction of the celebrity as he/she is revealed to be the descendant of increasingly wealthy/powerful/pious individuals.
Brooke Shields seemed genuinely interest and enthusiastic as she was shown paintings and sculptures of her illustrious ancestors and it certainly made for great television. Like the previous episode, the best place to find out more details is on the NBC website, not the BBC website.
Coming up next week is Susan Sarandon, on BBC One at 10.35pm on Monday 12th July 2010.

Postcards from Brighton, Sussex are not particularly rare, having been a tourist destination for many years there must have been millions of cards produced. This one probably doesn't actually show Brighton beach and I am sure if I looked I could find examples with the names of many different seaside resorts on them.
The reason this appealed to me was the colour and design, it is such a bright and cheerful card. That is why I have featured it today, after last week's snow scenes and the generally grey weather we have had, I decided that things needed brightening up!
I have no idea who published this card, it was posted on the 23rd August 1907 to an address in Camberwell, but the handwriting is a bit dodgy so I can't be sure, or actually make sense of the message. Hopefully it will brighten up your day to!

Another Disney trip in the books.
We've been doing Disney since before the kids were born, and our kids have pretty much grown up making frequent pilgrimages to the House of Mouse. It's our go-to place. We feel at home there. We have our routines down. We know how to navigate the parks, and we pack in the maximum magic in each trip, with uber-efficiency. We returned this year to kick off our new year. A few thoughts from our journey:
• We downloaded an app called Road Ninja, and it may possibly be the single greatest app ever created. There are plenty of good travel apps that tell you what restaurants, gas stations, etc. are coming up at approaching exits. This one, though, has an especially awesome function – it tells you how far off the interstate a business is. I believe it should be against federal law to have your logo on one of those blue interstates signs if you are more than a 1/3 of a mile or two stop lights off the road. (I'm talking to you, Alcovy, Ga.)
• One morning, I went ahead of the group by myself and was at the entrance of Epcot about 10 minutes before opening. That was a sight. The crowd crushed together in a sweltering blob of inhumanity at 8:45 a.m. was simply amazing. When they started letting folks in, I was amazed to see people breaking into dead sprints, mainly for the rides Soarin' and Test Track. At one point, I saw a guy sprint past me. About two seconds later, a small girl ran past me shouting, "Daddy! Wait up!" His response: "Hurry up!" Thrill rides are nothing to play with, folks.
• I am still amazed at how some people are simply not aware that other people exist on the planet. Exhibit 1A for this trip was, on the standing-room-only bus back from Animal Kingdom, when a guy let his backpack occupy one seat while he snoozed in his. When we exited the bus, I remarked to my wife, perhaps a little louder than I should have, that I hope his backpack was nice and rested.
• My son is a daredevil maniac in the real world. My daughter is a cautious worrywart. This makes it odd that my daughter is the roller coaster junkie, while my son got off every single one expressing regret at his decision to board. After one ride – Mission: Space – I asked my son if he wanted to ride again. He responded, "Ok. Well, maybe. Actually, no." My daughter? "LET'SGOAGAINLET'SGOAGAINLET'SGOAGAIN!"
• If you need to clip your nails, can you please do it before you get on a Disney bus? Thanks. That's all for that.
• We have discovered my son's superpower – using only his right food, he has the power to turn a fully functioning escalator into a staircase. He demonstrated his power by placing his foot near the revolving hand rail– just as his father told him not to –, which promptly wedged his foot into the contraption, jamming his toes in and sending the escalator to a screeching halt. I pulled his foot free, removed his shoe and sock and accounted for all five toes. In no time, several Disney managers were surrounding us, offering doctors, shoes, etc. I assured them the main damage was to my son's pride.
• While in a gift store, I saw a little girl, maybe three years old, holding up a Minnie Mouse purse and tugging at her father's pants leg. He turned to her and said, over and over, "Nyet! Nyet! Nyet!" Disney speaks the international language of parental gift shop annoyance.
• I'm not sure who was running Quebec and Ontario while we were there, because based on the traffic we saw during our return voyage, the entire population of those two provinces were heading north from Orlando.
In all it was a great trip, as usual, and I look forward to our next sojourn. It will probably be 2014 when we return. That will give me plenty of time to get the kids into cross training so they can keep up when we sprint through the parks.

Former Durango resident Lelia Elva (Koontz) Fox died Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013, in Phoenix. She was eight months shy of her 100th birthday.
Known as Elva, she was born Aug. 4, 1913, to Leslie C. and Elsie Josephine Henry Koontz at home on her family�s farm near Dodge City, Kan. Mrs. Fox was the second of 10 children.
�Mom was a nature girl,� her sons Carl and Larry Fox said. �In high school, she planted and tended her own garden, growing flowers, vegetables and fruits. Her prize-winning plants netted her a bundle of ribbons from the fair.�
Mrs. Fox taught elementary grades in a one-room schoolhouse in Jetmore, Kan.
During the Great Depression, she attended college at Fort Hays, where she met her future husband, Maynard Fox. The couple married in June 1937 at her family�s home in Hodgeman County, Kan. Mrs. Fox was only a few semester hours away from her degree in education when they moved to another state and started their family.
Mr. Fox was a college professor, and the family followed his career, first to South Dakota for 17 years and then to Fort Lewis College in 1965, where Mr. Fox taught until his retirement in 1978. The Foxes lived in Durango until 1992.
�She was enthralled with flowers, birds and butterflies,� her sons said. �During her life in Durango, she participated in many bird counts and was considered an expert on birds of the Southwest U.S.�
Mrs. Fox was the president of the local Audubon Society for many years and led numerous bird walks. While she was president, the club also hosted the annual conference of the Colorado Field Ornithologists at least once. She was also a member of the Garden Club of Durango and president more than once.
�She was green before green was popular,� said fellow Garden Club member Karen Anesi. �She was responsible for many of our civic beautification projects, and most of the dragon�s blood sedum you see all over town as ground cover started in Elva�s garden.�
Mrs. Fox was an avid record keeper and photographer. She always kept journals, even during the last few days of her life. She also enjoyed traveling. She went to Baja California with her boys on camping trips, taking photographs, and keeping detailed logs of new birds and plants. Mrs. Fox also traveled to Iran, Germany and Thailand to visit family members on overseas assignments and documented everything with journals, photographs and slides.
�Mom knew how to live life to the fullest, and give others joy and comfort,� her sons said. �She had some deep sorrows during her life, etched with pain, yet she never wavered in her faith in God and creation, and always came through the experiences with her basic outlook on life unbroken.�
Mrs. Fox was preceded in death by her husband of almost 65 years, Maynard Fox, in January 2002; and daughter Kathleen Pascale.
She is survived by her sons Larry Fox of Phoenix and Carl Fox of Wichita, Kan.; sister Muriel Otis, of Salina, Kan.; 10 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.
A small service was held Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013, in Phoenix. A larger memorial service will be held at a later date in Durango.
Condolences may be sent to Carl Fox, 7942 Meadow Park Circle, Wichita, KS 67205, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Some experts claim that centrally-located Ribera del Duero, Spain's fastest growing wine region, has the greatest potential for memorable red wines. These are largely inspired by the revered Vega Sicilia, an estate producer whose dark Tempranillo wines are balanced with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. For one hundred years Vega Sicilia has taken Spanish tradition to the extreme, growing highly concentrated grapes and aging wines ten years in cask and sometimes more in bottle before releasing exquisite, expensive wines that still benefit from cellar aging. Like slightly smaller versions of Vega Sicilia, other Ribera del Duero Tempranillos are tannic and long-lived, usually inky and massive, with complicated aromas of chocolate, plums and smoke. French varietals Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec are joining the native varietals. White Ribera del Duero uses the indigenous varietal Albillo.

I'm frequently asked what inspires me to create makeup looks and if I ever run out of ideas. Honestly, makeup for me is so much more than just paint so it's easy to be inspired. It's passion, it's expression, and it's conveying your emotions and feelings on a canvas that is naturally animated. Makeup makes me want to grab beauty from everywhere and exude that feeling on a face. Today I want to share with you, in photos, a glimpse of my inspiration taken by a true artist, Kassia Phoy.
It's almost mundane to say "nature" as an easy response to inspiration, but only because it's so easy to take it for granted. Pink petals, soft sunlight, green leaves, and a sea of wispy vines are both delicate and wild. Isn't that frequently what we want our makeup to say about us as well?
It can be as specific as a neon lipstick trend or as vague as the feeling of your heart beating faster as you spin. Inspiration comes where you open your eyes and see it.

- January 22, 2013 at 12:14 AM
The awards are becoming as meaningless as the Nigerian yearly awards. Sort your house before sorting the world.
- January 22, 2013 at 1:13 AM
Its so unfortunate and disheartening the way this UN Peace Ambassadorship is being dished out to all and sundry. With all due respect to the different recipient artistes, what exactly are the criteria chosen before this award is conferred upon them? Being one of the founding members of the United Nations Youth Association-Nigeria -the awarding body - it smacks of gross corruption for awards to be given to anyone starting from D'Banj's in 2008 or thereabout just for pecuniary gains of a few. There is so much that UNYA-Nigeria can do to affect lives being a direct appendage of the United Nations rather than dish out awards just for the sake of it. I fear for the future of this generation if all we can offer is our myopic and rather bemusing hedonistic acts.
Linda please post my comment and if you want a detailed expose of the shenanigans behind the activities of UNYA-Nigeria, I would gladly oblige you.

- Olawale Daniel said...
Greatly said @Orire.
We need to verify the kind of a lady she is for her to come out and say bad things concerning her hubby.
There's something behind this whole issue.
However, he Zakky should also be checked to the root and know how he handled situations before making good or bad comments about the incident and the award.
Thanks Linda for sharing

He should be jailed. I hear he is a bigamist. He is a mean, insecured, washed up singer who takes out his frustration on women. He needs help! But we can only give it to him while he is behind bars.

@Orire ORI E OKPE RARA ....even if the woman is the most useless female ever created (which we know CAN'T BE) No man has ANY right to beat a woman. There is NO excuse....ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE TO ACT LIKE A BEAST. YOU HAVE A WIFE AND SHE'S EVERYTHING TO YOU MY ASS I CAN IMAGINE WHAT YOU PUT THE POOR WOMAN THROUGH, IF WE COULD INTERVIEW HER YOU YOURSELF WOULD BE SHOCKED. .....And its ZAAKI MERITS not MERIT olodo.....I am disappointed that an international organization would give an award like this to a tout without as much research.SMH.

Longtime Durango resident Robert L. Hemphill died Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012, at his home. He was 86.
Known as �Bob,� he was born to Earl and Alvina (Heyen) Hemphill on April 5, 1926, in Gillespie, Ill. He graduated from Shipman High School at the age of 16.
In 1943, Mr. Hemphill enlisted in the Army Air Corps at 17. He had just completed training to be a B-25 pilot when World War II ended.
On Jan. 1, 1947, he married Jane L. Schaffenacker in Mt. Pulaski, Ill.
The next year, Mr. Hemphill graduated from Western Illinois University with a bachelor�s degree in education.
He began his teaching career as a social studies teacher and head basketball coach in La Junta after graduation. The team won the state championship the first year he coached. From 1950 to 1954, Mr. Hemphill taught and coached in Newman, Ill. He owned and ran his own independent insurance agency in Newman from 1954 until 1969.
In the early 1970s, Mr. Hemphill taught and served as head of the social studies department at Durango High School.
Mr. and Mrs. Hemphill owned and managed the Royal Motel, the Adobe Inn and the Thunderbird Lodge in Durango until they retired in 1994. They owned and lived at Pinerock Ranch in the Animas Valley for 24 years.
In 1994, the Hemphills retired to Green Valley, Ariz., returning to Durango in 2007 to be near their daughter. During their retirement, they traveled extensively throughout the United States and the British Isles.
Mr. Hemphill had many hobbies and interests, including history, geography, bird watching, bridge, reading, gardening, hiking in the back country, golfing and downhill and cross country skiing. He joined the volunteer Ski Patrol at Purgatory in 1970, after skiing for only two years.
Mr. Hemphill refereed high school basketball and football games for many years and enjoyed watching all sports, particularly the Denver Broncos.
�When he developed an interest in a new hobby or activity, he read and researched the subject thoroughly,� his daughter, Phoebe Hemphill, said.
Mr. Hemphill is survived by his wife of almost 66 years, Jane L. Hemphill, of Durango; daughter, Phoebe Hemphill, of Durango; son, William Hemphill, of Cottage Grove, Ore.; three grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
