Manchester United produced their best display of this season as the Red Devils ran out convincing winners against Alan Pardew's Newcastle United.
Jonny Evans and Patrice Evra both headed home in the first quarter of an hour before Tom Cleverley scored a wonderful curling shot to secure United's fifth win of the campaign. Without further ado, let's have a look at the three most important things we learned from the one-sided game at the Sports Direct Arena.
1. Ferguson Got His Tactics Right
Against Tottenham Hotspur, Sir Alex Ferguson completely got his tactics and team-selection wrong. The Scot deployed a 4-4-2 formation, wherein the midfield and defence was too weak and lacked the pace to counter Spurs' tormenting attack.
However, against Newcastle, Fergie revolutionized his formation and completely transformed the team's tactics.
United played with more of a 4-2-3-1 line-up with heavy emphasis on attack and build-up play. The likes of Rooney, Carrick and Cleverley became the fulcrum and hub of the Red Devils' game, forming the pivotal nexus between defence and midfield and ensuring that the visitors dominated the possession and consequently, the match.
Newcastle's central midfield duo of Tiote and Cabaye were outnumbered, and left chasing the game after conceding two early goals from set pieces, could not exert the same influence as they did when the sides met in January, when the Toon ran out 3-0 winners.
Ferguson's new tactics not only helped United ditch their futile counter-attacking play for the relatively consistent and stable possession play, but also encouraged the midfield and attack to collectively help out the vulnerable defence and shut out the opposition.
2. Defensive Frailties Remain
Even though the collective effort of the team helped United to claim their only second clean-sheet of the season, the back-four still showed some worrying signs.
David de Gea even though made some wonderful saves throughout the course of the game, looked shaky with incoming crosses and set pieces.
Moreover, due to Alex Ferguson's rotation policy that has limited de Gea to only five appearances so far this season, there was a lack of communication and understanding between the defenders and de Gea.
Rafael Da Silva had his same old game as the Brazilian was a constant threat going forward but was often found out of position at the back.
Patrice Evra on the other hand, might have scored a pivotal goal, but the Frenchman too failed to fulfil his defensive duties and was lucky not to concede a clear-cut penalty when he tugged Papiss Cisse's shirt late in the first half.
The central defence duo of Jonny Evans and Rio Ferdinand were able to contain Newcastle's daunting strikeforce consisting of Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse, but as mentioned above, it was largely due to the defensive contributions of likes of Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Tom Cleverley.
The two were easily beaten by their markers during set-pieces and such mistakes will not go unpunished in Europe or against Premier League's 'blue brigade' of Chelsea and Manchester City.
3. Tom Cleverley is the Future of United's Midfield
After an injury-plagued past season, Tom Cleverley is finally cementing his position as the future of Manchester United's midfield.
The England international was just fabulous on Sunday, orchestrating United's midfield, doing a decent job at the back and most importantly, forming a great partnership with fellow countryman, Wayne Rooney, at the centre of the park.
With the likes Paul Scholes ageing, and Michael Carrick and Anderson unconvincing, Cleverley will surely be United's most important midfielder this season and supporters will now hope that the youngster lives up to his true potential.
His goal was the second he has scored for the club, both against Newcastle, and the second in as many domestic starts.

|[CQ-Contest] CW SS
|"Kelly Taylor" <email@example.com>
|Fri, 7 Dec 2007 01:09:21 -0600
Hi all, For reasons that will be immediately obvious when you see the likely results, Steve, N2IC and I will be trading places this year on writing the SS report for QST. He'll do phone, I'll do CW. (In an ironic twist of fate, at least I'll be writing about something I participated in, as I didn't make it on for phone. It's usually the other way around, but I'm making a concerted effort to concentrate on CW (at least you guys hear my pipsqueak signal a bit on CW...)) Please, if you have any whimsical, enlightening, educational or just plain fun anecdotes to share from this year's running of SS CW, please send them my way. If you have any insight into this year's contest at all, don't hesitate to let me know. I'm particularly interested in those tales that aren't told by the Top 10 boxes, neat regional battles, curious stories of perseverence, etc. 73, kelly ve4xt _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest

Starting with Radeon HD 3000 IGP. In order not to give Nvidia too much breathing room, AMD has announced that the new Flash Player 10.1 beta will make use of ATI Stream technology for some neat hardware acceleration.
Hardware acceleration for Flash Player 10.1 beta will include both notebook and desktop platforms which run on Radeon HD 4000, 5700 and 5800 series graphics cards, Mobility Radeon HD 4000 and HD 3000 IGP, as well as bunch of FirePro cards starting from V3750 to V8750 and higher.
We finally managed to get some finalized specification of Geforce GT 240 card and we can even share some performance estimates.
As far as we know, the card launches tomorrow, November 17 and the 40nm GPU will work at 550MHz. The shader clock is set to 1360MHz and the chip has 96 shader units.
The memory of choice is GDDR3 at 2000MHz or GDDR5 at 3400MHz and the card will come with either 512MB or 1024MB. The emory interface is 128-bit wide and the card will sit between Geforce GT 220 and Geforce 9800GT in terms performance.
ATI / AMD has finalized the Radeon HD 5970 spec. First and foremost, the card is scheduled to launch on the 18th, or this coming Wednesday and it will without a doubt be the fastest card for this Christmas.
It has two RV870 GPUs clocked at 725MHz, which is some 125MHz less than on the single GPU Radeon HD 5870, but both chips have kept 1600 shaders. This means that Radeon HD 5970 has 3200 shaders and comes with 2GB GDDR5 memory.
Maximum Board Power is 294W and the total GPU compute performance for the card is 4.64 TFLOPs.
So much for IWNet curbing cheating. One of the main excuses that developer Infinity Ward used to explain the lack of dedicated server support for the PC release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was that it would be able to curb the hacks and cheating with the new system. It would appear that although it was only released a couple of days ago, the first batch of hacks and cheats are already hitting the PC version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
Microsoft has banned more than a million players from its 20 million-strong Xbox Live gaming service. The move, which effects one in every 20 Windows Live users, comes about because Redmond is convinced the users have modified their consoles to play games illegally downloaded from file-sharing sites. In a statement Microsoft said that all consumers should know that piracy is illegal and that modifying their Xbox 360 console to play pirated discs violates the Xbox Live terms of use.
While other operating systems in Microsoft's stable were given security patches yesterday there was one important one that was considered still fine to run. Most people expected a few things to be found wrong with the newly released Windows 7, however there were no patches for the operating system.
Those people who pre-ordered a copy of Modern Warfare 2 through Steam, will be miffed that they will have to wait a few days.
Yep while the game hit the shops unofficially several days ago, Steam which should have been able to release it straight away still hasn't. Valve has delayed the availability of the online-bought Steam version until tomorrow despite the fact that the retail versions available yesterday.
HIS has revealed its new custom designed Radeon HD 5750 card that will feature stock clocks and Arctic Cooling's L2 Pro dual slot cooler previously seen on some HD 4850 cards like the recently tested Mushkin, or Sapphire's HD 4670.
The new HIS HD 5750 iCooler IV features a non-reference blue PCB, 720 stream processors and stock core and memory clocks of 700 for the GPU and 4600MHz for 1GB of GDDR5 memory.
Arizona State University's spin off outfit Fluidic Energy plans to build a new battery with an energy density 11 times greater than that of lithium-ion batteries for just one-third the cost.
Fluidic Energy uses ionic liquids as its electrolyte, which could help it overcome some significant problems faced by previous metal-air batteries. Currently metal-air batteries have usually used water-based electrolytes, but due to water evaporation, the batteries tended to fail prematurely.
While any user who's had "the pleasure" of running Vista knows this from personal experience, NPD's statistics now shed some light on just how bad the market needed Windows 7.
The NPD Group reports the initial Windows 7 (boxed) sales figures have exceeded those of Vista by impressive 234 percent in the US. Revenue growth on the other hand wasn't that great, although 82 percent better than Vista is still nice. Such revenue is reportedly a result of pre-order discounts and a "lack of promotional activity" for the Ultimate version.

KENT COUNTY, MI - A 53-year-old with a history of alcohol abuse who accidentally drowned in a bathtub.
A 61-year-old with lung cancer who had lived with a family member, then was placed in hospice care two months before death.
A 42-year-old homeless person who died by their own hand.
They are among the unclaimed bodies so far this year in Kent County, a group whose numbers have been on the rise since 2009, records show.
In that year, 21 bodies were left in the medical examiner's morgue. In 2010, there were 24, followed by 26 in 2011 and 30 in 2012.
Last year, the bodies of 34 people who died in Kent County were not claimed by friends or relatives.
In the majority of these cases, the deaths are of natural causes, Kent County Medical Examiner Stephen Cohle said.
They are labeled unclaimed when no one steps forward to take responsibility for their burial. Sometimes, people with chronic substance abuse problems have become alienated from family and friends. Other times, the deceased simply lived alone and led a private life.
In some cases, police have exhausted all efforts to find any friends or next of kin. Other times, authorities locate family, but they either don't want anything to do with burial arrangements or cannot afford a casket or cremation.
The cost factor is more often becoming an issue, said Carmen Merrero-Perez, office administrator for the Kent County Medical Examiner.
"People just don't have the money," Merrero-Perez said. "They just kind of throw it back in our lap."
The situation is not unlike one unfolding in Grand Traverse County, said Wendy Trute, health department director.
Trute spoke to that county's board of commissioners recently about insufficient space in county morgue, which is operated by the Munson Medical Center. An expansion may be needed in the future, she told MLive and The Grand Rapids Press, in part because of space concerns that result from an increasing number of unclaimed bodies.
Because Munson is a regional medical center, Trute said, patients are coming in for treatment from other Northern Michigan counties. The hospital handles the bodies of those who do not survive — some of whom are not claimed. The bodies may be kept in the morgue for 30 of 45 days if necessary, as post-mortem procedures are completed and authorities try to locate family.
Grand Traverse County also has a high homeless population because of resources available for aid. This also may contribute to the increasing number of unclaimed bodies, Trute said.
In Kent County, the unclaimed bodies were buried at Oakhill Cemetery in Grand Rapids.
Last fall, burials started at Oak Grove Cemetery, located near MacKay-Jaycees Park. Eleven people have been buried there so far this year, said James Arsulowicz, the city's cemeteries, parks and forestry manager.
Burials of the unclaimed in Kent County are handled through Pederson Funeral Home in Rockford.
There is no memorial service or graveside gathering. There are no gravestones placed. But Arsulowicz said those involved in the burials take a respectful moment of silence to recognize each person being buried.
"It's a human being. It's a human life. They deserve it just like anyone else," he said. "We always treat all of our burials with the utmost dignity."
THE LAST 10 UNCLAIMED BODIES IN KENT COUNTY• Age: 61 Cause of death: cardiac arrest, acute respiratory failure/schizophrenia.
• Age: 61 Cause of death: Lung cancer, heart disease Unclaimed circumstances: Family couldn't afford burial. Had lived with family member until placed in hospice care 2 months before death.
• Age: 80 Cause of death: Cardiogenic shock, acute kidney injury, heart failure.
• Age: 53 Cause of death: Asphyxia by drowning in a bathtub (accidental). History of alcohol abuse.
• Age: 69 Cause of death: Heart disease Unclaimed circumstances: No family found
• Age: 61 Cause of death: Heart failure, end stage renal disease
• Age: 61 Cause of death: Metastatic Lung Cancer
• Age: 50 Cause of death: Cancer of the liver
• Age: 42 Cause of death: Head trauma due to fall (suicide) Unclaimed circumstances: Single, homeless
• Age: 56 Cause of death: Heart disease, blood around the heart. Unclaimed circumstances: Found deceased by roommates in a home. No family found.
The Kent County Medical Examiner's Office has possession of bodies generally for no more than 30 to 60 days before they are considered "unclaimed," Merrero-Perez said.
During that time, immediately after a person's death, police are hard at work tracking down relatives.
Generally, authorities find identification and track relatives using a known address for the deceased. Sometimes, an advanced computer search program helps to find relatives living elsewhere, Grand Rapids Police Capt. Jeff Hertel said.
In a recent case, police had identification and an address, but that address was used only for mailing purposes.
Police take fingerprints of the deceased to see if they match up with anyone in a database. More often than not, the deceased has had some contact with police. Other times, they've been booked into jail and police can match a booking photo with the person's body. Those who have been booked into the jail often have to leave record of a contact person, which offers authorities a lead.
If the deceased's family lives out of state, Grand Rapids Police contact local authorities in whatever state the relative may reside in to notify relatives of the person's death. They can be there to offer local resources for grief counseling or other aid.
If Grand Rapids Police don't find relatives right away, though, oftentimes word of mouth finds them first — especially with the evolution of social media.
"We really have to work hard to beat the grapevine with getting information back to the family," Hertel said.
If police notify the medical examiner's office that they haven't found a person's family or that the family cannot be part of funeral arrangements, the state of Michigan steps in. The state provides $800 for the burial of a person whose body is not claimed, said Sarah Neumen, who has worked with Pederson Funeral Home for nearly two decades.
Of that money, $555 goes directly to the funeral home for purchase of a simple burial container and transport of the body. The next $145 goes to the cemetery for time spent opening and closing the grave. The last $100 pays for the vault.
There are no gravestones placed. Grass eventually grows over the site, leaving it more or less as a peaceful open clearing.

This week's episode of Rescue Me focused on Tommy's (Denis Leary) latest dilemma, which woman to choose: Janet, Sheila, or the new mystery woman, Maura Tierney, who seems to have a thing for firefighters. Maura Tierney made a second special guest appearance in which her character came to the firehouse looking for Franco (Daniel Sunjata), but upon not being able to find him, asks out Mike (Michael Lombardi) instead. Both Janet (Andrea Roth) and Sheila (Callie Thorne) have persuasive discussions with Tommy as to why he should choose them. Janet suggested that they stay together for 5 years, just until Katie goes off to college. Tommy would be allowed to live separately from her when Katie is not visiting and expects that they will maintain a monogamous relationship with each other. If he doesn't choose her, Janet insists the kids will hate him and that due to their impending divorce; he will barely be able to see them in the future. Sheila on the other hand, took her opportunity to influence Tommy into choosing her by stressing that he knows what he is getting --mentally and physically. She also makes it very clear that if Tommy doesn't choose her, she will move on and find someone else.
Who's he going to choose? I think that he may choose Sheila. In the episode, viewers also learned that Janet does not have much leverage with the kids. Colleen moves in with Tommy and reveals how much Katie hated living with Janet and the baby and that she'd probably rather live with Tommy too. Does anyone know if Janet has a nanny? She's always out and about, visiting Tommy-- who's taking care of the baby? Maybe he's at Daycare?
Tommy's relationship issues were the main focus in this week's episode, but I also have a couple of interesting observations I would like to discuss. It appears that Tommy is struggling with the fact that his friends are drinking again. This was apparent in the dream sequence Tommy had, in which both Mick and Uncle Teddy were shown in a car wreck with alcohol bottles spread out amongst the dashboard of the car. Lou (John Scurti) asks Needles (Adam Ferrara) to be his best man, rather than Tommy. Sheila's wardrobe has been comprised of a large variety of animal prints lately. I like it---definitely fits her character! Finally, I learned a new word this week, "funder-wear". This is the word that Tommy uses to describe all of Colleen's underwear and lingerie that he never wants to see.
Next week:
Tommy confronts Lou after he chooses Needles over him to be his "best man"
Franco accepts Lou and Needles proposal to fight a lesbian in the ring
Sheila and Tommy re-visit old memories
Damien receives a proposition; Tommy doesn't approve

Doug Bacon already knew there'd be some shoes to fill.
Finding out who will claim those spots may take a little time.
Graduating four of its top seven from last year's state qualifier meet and losing a fifth this summer to knee surgery, the Marshalltown girls cross country team has a wide-open competition to fill out its varsity seven.
Three-year varsity standout Rachel Blagg returns for her final campaign and leads a quartet of runners that have established themselves early. It's the final three spots that remain up for grabs.
Blagg is coming off a 19th-place finish at the state qualifier and is joined by sophomore Ashley Macbeth, who finished 53rd on the Bobcats' sixth-place district contingent.
Michaela Huey (23rd), Wynn Tan (30th), Victoria Jones (44th) and Abby Snyder (46th) all graduated last spring and Ellyn Boland (38th) will miss her entire junior season following knee surgery this summer.
Those departures have opened the door for Boland's sister, Ruth, and sophomore Hannah Shirar, who have solidified themselves as varsity contributors. Shirar has been right with Macbeth in early workouts, while Ruth Boland also has been near the front despite battling a hip issue.
"I know who the top four are but after that it's a little dicey," said Bacon, who enters his 12th season at the helm. "There's five girls in the running for those last three spots. It might be a very handy thing that we can run 10 in the varsity on Thursday, just because it's been so hard to tell who the top seven really are."
There's no doubt as to who will be leading the Bobcats' seven.
Blagg, who finished one spy shot of the state meet as a sophomore, enters her senior season with what Bacon considers her best summer of training yet.
"The quality of her training was much better than it's been in the past," Bacon said. "It's kind of been broken up in the past with different things she's had going on in the summer. She was able to develop a little bit of continuity there as far as how she was getting her miles accumulated over the summer.
"She's looked really good early on in practice and she hasn't had trouble in any workout of hitting the goals I've set for her."
At least six more runners are in contention for the final three varsity slots.
Seniors Becky Schwartzenburg, Erin Carmichael and Kierra Carbajal, junior Daesha Underhill, sophomore Aspen Chadderdon, and freshman Victoria Johnson could all work their way into the mix.
While the Bobcats have shown a good work ethic through early practice sessions, it may take some time to overcome their inexperience.
"It make take a few meets for us to get over that," Bacon said. "They work hard, but developing into racing hard and racing as a team - when you haven't done that at the varsity level - it just takes a little bit of time.
"These first two or three meets could be quite an adventure for us."
Marshalltown hits the road for its next two meets before returning to MCC for the 41st annual Bobcat Invitational on Sept. 11. The Bobcats also will host the Central Iowa Conference meet on Oct. 16 and the state qualifier meet on Oct. 23.
The Central Iowa Conference remains the deepest league in the state with six league schools placing in the top-10 at state last year. Dowling Catholic is the defending state champion, Ames was runner-up and Johnston took fourth, while Waukee (6th), Urbandale (8th) and Ankeny Centennial (10th) extend the league's talent pool.
"It's hard to describe the conference cross country meet," Bacon said. "It's sort of like taking the better part of your state field and running against them."
Bacon is hopeful his scoring quintet can approach a 1:30 split to start the season and eventually whittle it down to a minute by season's end. And getting his top five under the 17-minute mark would bode well not just for this season but for the future.
"I'd feel really good if we could get all of our top five under 17:00, that's a good goal for us," Bacon said. "Knowing that most of our kids are back, that would be a good ending point. Even if we don't qualify for state, we'd feel like we'd have some momentum going into next year."
Thursday's Early Bird meet features a pair of ranked squads including Class 4A No. 10 Urbandale and Class 2A No. 9 East Marshall. The girls varsity race is slated for 5:20 p.m.

"August" is not only a noun (the eighth month of the Gregorian calendar), but it is also an adjective meaning "inspiring reverence and admiration." For example "The august George Brumat" who will live on in spirit as long as there is an august jazz club at this address. So this August (n.) Snug Harbor once again offers an august (adj.) month of jazz.
Our early week-lineup continues with stalwarts Charmaine Neville (Mondays), Jesse McBride and the Next Generation (Tuesdays) and Irvin Mayfield and The NOJO Jam every Wednesday beginning on the 1st . On the 2nd, it's a clarinet summit with a pair of talented reed men, Tim Laughlin and Tom Fisher, and their band which features Tom McDermott on piano.
Do the Satchmo Strut! The 7th Annual Satchmo Club Strut takes over Frenchmen Street on Friday the 3rd, so get your wristband and come see Ellis Marsalis at 8 and 10pm, and a special Midnight Show with Bay Area based vocalist Jacqui Naylor. And come celebrate Pops's birthday on Saturday August 4th with Maurice Brown, hailed by Down Beat as "one of the most exciting young trumpeters in jazz."
Topsy Chapman brings her Solid Harmony to Snug on Sunday the 5th, the third course in a feast of female vocalists this month. There's the aforementioned Neville and Naylor, as well as the lovely Leah Chase on Friday the 10th, Germaine Bazzle, New Orleans' First Lady of Jazz, accompanied by the Ed Peterson Quartet on Saturday the 25th and Cindy Scott will go from "Major to Minor" on Sunday the 26th .
The Times-Picayune's night-life blogger Keith Marszalek recently wrote of Herlin Riley "Watching this man on the drums leaves you with the sense that you have seen a true master at work." See for yourself when he leads his quartet on Saturday the 11th. And on the 12th see another master at work when Steve Masakowski and his custom 7-string Sal Giardina guitar grace the Snug Harbor stage (Giardina also fixes dog-eaten ukuleles!).
Sax Attack! Plenty of reeds will be vibrating on Thursday the 16th when the New Orleans Sax Quartet - Tony Dagradi, Khari Lee, Alonzo Bowens and Jason Mingledorff put their embouchures to work. And Dagradi is back with the boys from Astral Project on the Saturday the 18th. Another saxophonist, Martin Krusche follows on the 19th with a reunion of his stellar band Friendship Pagoda.
Nineteen-year-old piano sensation Nicholas Sanders returns to Snug on the 23rd with his quartet. He's had more that 4,000 virtual listeners on his Myspace page...come see him in person. On the 30th Jason Marsalis brings back his Vibes Quartet for the month's penultimate show followed by his piano playing pop Ellis closes on the 31st. All proof that August will be aghast!

READING — While Kyle Ebersole might not have been part of Lancaster County Christian's first district championship team, the sophomore righthander with the slow, tantalizing curveball certainly played a lead role in No. 2.
And No. 2 arrived Thursday at overcast FirstEnergy Stadium.
Spreading four hits over a slick complete-game performance, Ebersole also fanned 11 batters as Lancaster County Christian claimed its second District 3-A title in three years by edging defending 3-A champ York Catholic 2-1 in the front end.
York Catholic won last year's 3-A final by a 7-1 count.
"It adds a lot more," Ebersole said. "Once we realized we were facing these guys in the championship, we were like, 'We gotta get revenge for last year.' "
And they did.
Already assured a prized berth in the PIAA Class A tournament that gets rolling sometime Monday, the top-seeded Lions (15-1) will take on District 6-A runner-up Juniata Valley at a site and time to be determined.
York Catholic (11-10) will play District 1-A champ Devon Prep.
Chandler Petersheim, Josh Brubaker, Luke Dixon and Blake Petersheim registered one hit apiece for LCCS, which collected just four hits off the York Catholic tandem of Clint Bohn and Jake Krevetski. Blake Petersheim had the Lions' lone RBI.
Krevetski, Bohn, Kentucky-bound Erich Hartman and Miles Elliott were the only batters in the Fighting Irish lineup to solve Ebersole — even though Ebersole issued four walks and hit two batters.
Ebersole appeared to be in serious trouble really, really early — or as soon as Krevetski lined his second offering into the right-center gap for a triple — but the lanky righty was able to work out of trouble.
Although his first two strikeouts certainly helped, the momentum-changing play occurred when Krevetski tried to come home on Hartman's chopper to third. Third baseman Josh Mayer went home with his throw, however, promptly putting Krevetski in a pickle that led to a successful 5-2-6-1-5 rundown.
"That was huge," Ebersole said with a big grin. "That play by Josh Mayer to leap up and get that and throw home, and we got him in a rundown. That just kind of set the tone. After that it was like, 'We got this.' "
Several minutes later, the Lions led 1-0 after Bohn fell down trying to get to Blake Petersheim's slow, two-out chopper back to the box and the Lancaster County Christian catcher was able to leg out an infield hit that chased home his cousin, Chandler Petersheim, with the game's initial run.
"I'm not mad about it," Blake Petersheim said. "Helped us out."
Chandler Petersheim opened the first with a walk, moved to second on a long single off the left-field wall by Brubaker and then was stationed on third following Jensen King's sacrifice bunt. One out later, he scampered home.
The Lions added run No. 2 in the bottom of the second when Dixon worked a leadoff walk, wheeled to third on a wild pitch and scored easily on a throwing error.
While York Catholic had chances — Ebersole stranded nine runners — the Fighting Irish were unable to cash in until Bohn laced a sacrifice fly to center in the top of the fifth that enabled pinch runner C.J. Burnside to roll home.
Ebersole worked out of that jam — a bases-loaded jam — by getting Pat Clement on a swinging third strike. Five of Ebersole's 11 Ks came with Irish looking.
York Catholic was still chasing the equalizer in the top of the seventh, putting two aboard with one out when Krevetski was plunked by a 2-1 offering and Bohn ripped a line single to center. That brought skipper Ron Brubaker to the mound.
"He said, 'Let's put a little icing on the cake. Just keep it down, you got this, let's go. Two more outs,' " Ebersole said.
Ebersole promptly spread the frosting on the Fighting Irish, getting Hartman on a high fastball and Clement on a fly ball to center.
"It was [a little nerve-wracking]," Blake Petersheim said. "I knew he would get through it. He's pulled through all the other games this season, so I believe in him and he did. So it was good."
Ebersole on whether he had any pre-game anxieties: "Once I got on the mound, it kind of went away."
Ebersole on his out pitch: "My curveball was working really well. I was able to spot that a lot. They weren't hitting it too much, so we just kept throwing it."
Blake Petersheim, the catcher, on Ebersole's demeanor: "He kept his composure the whole time and threw a great game, so I was happy with him."
Petersheim on Ebersole's curve: "How many strikeouts did he have? Eleven strikeouts. Worked pretty good."

Staten Island's top basketball players continue to thrive in college and beyond. We'll check in periodically to see how they're doing both in Division I college competition and professionally. While Curtis products Halil Kanacevic and Hassan Martin are getting ready for Atlantic-10 conference play, Kyle McAlarney, Ryan Rossiter and O.D. Anosike are starring abroad.
Former Curtis star Isaiah Wilkerson is in his second season in the NBDL, and he's featured in the video below.
Halil Kanacevic (Curtis)
The St. Joseph's University tri-captain has started all 12 games for the Hawks. The multi-talented big man is averaging 9.2 points on 50 percent shooting to go with 8.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. Kanacevic had a career-high 27 points and 14 rebounds in a win against Drexel on Dec 18. On Saturday he had eight points and four rebounds as St. Joe's beat Denver, 53-52, to improve to 9-4. St. Joseph's jumps into Atlantic-10 play against No. 23 UMass on Wednesday.
Hassan Martin (Curtis)
The freshman is averaging 3.7 points and 3.8 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game with two starts for the Rams. The 6-foot-7, 210-pounder is averaging nearly two blocks per game, with 28 in Rhode Island's 15 games. The Rams are 9-6 after Saturday's win against LSU and get started with Atlantic-10 play Tuesday night at home against St. Louis.
Isaiah Wilkerson (Curtis)
The former NJIT standout is playing steadily for the Tulsa 66ers in the NBA Development League. Wilkerson is averaging 8.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per game for the Oklahoma City Thunder affiliate. Last Thursday he had a season-high 23 points against the Maine Red Claws.
Kyle McAlarney (Moore Catholic)
The two-time Warren Jaques Award winner has a new team in his third year in France's Pro A League. McAlarney is averaging 14.4 points in 32.9 minutes over 14 games for Orleans. The sharp-shooter is knocking down 44 percent of his 3-point attempts and is a familiar 90 percent from the free-throw line.
Ryan Rossiter (Monsignor Farrell)
After spending last season with the Canton Charge of the NBDL, Rossiter is back abroad, playing for Tochigi Brex in Japan. And the 6-foot-9 former Siena star is dominating. In 26 games, Rossiter leads the team with 21.4 points and 11.0 rebounds per game. He's shooting 62 percent from the field.
O.D. Anosike (St. Peter's)
The first-year pro made a quick first impression in Italy with a rebound game-winner, and he's picking it up with VL Pesaro of the Serie A League. Anosike had 23 points and 12 rebounds in his last game against Granarolo. In 13 games he's averaging 14.1 points and 12.4 rebounds.

Daily Mail writer Melanie Phillips and MSP Bill Walker tipped for Bigot of the Year
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Richard Carvath should also be nominated for bigot of the year.
The cupboards must be overflowing with them by now.
I'd vote Melanie Phillips, and then have a poll on how long it takes the sad old bat to play the "help, help I'm a victim" card. She's a typical bully – likes to lash out, but when we lash back we are all being big meanies. Pathetic.
My only concern regarding Melanie Phillips is when she will drop dead.
Typical response from the homosexual community of haters that hate anyone who is opposed to anything they do.In truth, homosexuals as a group and heterosexual fornicators have spread so much death and disease that guilt alone should.
Lest we forget, AIDS was initially spread by the filthy brigade of annly fixated buggerers that thought sodomizing a rectum was worth the spread of a deadly plague.
Fithy disgusting perverted immoral swines all!
Yes, we've killed SO many more than Christianity. *cough* Crusades *cough* Witch Hunts *cough* World War 2 *cough*
HIV/AIDS is a HUMAN disease, spread through risky behaviour – ask yourself WHY gay men participated in said behaviour more than other groups. Could it be because they could not live openly – due to vile, evil people like you – and so the only way to be themselves was to go underground? People like YOU created the HIV problem. Congratulations, you are a murderer.
I do not endorse religion. I hold to the bible which says not to take up arms.Did you not know this?
Pleae do no act as an apologist for death spreading immorals who whilst knowing the harm they were causing, could not control their anal fixations!
Well said!
Excellently put, phoenix!!
Irrelevent comment again from saddo Keith.
That old myth that HIV (given that AIDS is a condition that develops from HIV and not spread as AIDS from person to person despite what you might like to suggest is your vile rhetoric) is spread by homosexuals only …
The reality is that it is now much more of an issue for heterosexuals and the bias and inane and inaccurate vile rhetoric suggesting otherwise is banal and lacks any intelligence. Of course, there should be no complacency in the homosexual communities re HIV, however the reality is that heterosexuals are now seeing HIV diagnosis growing at an almost exponential level whilst the growth of new diagnoses in the LGBT communities is stagnant.
I hope God judges you for the vile and judgemental manner in which you communicate and sees the hate in your heart. If he/she exists.
If you actually do believe in God, check Jude 7 where he says he will judge fornicators(homosexuals are fornicators). Psalm 97:10 says to "hate what is bad" so I think I should be safe since the bible condemns "men who lie with men".
How long will this garbage last, I wonder?
Lets hope it's dealt with very soon Will.
Keith comments as usual are completely irrelevent to the thread.
LGBTQI people are NOT up for debate on this site, Keith. The stories are.
Well, for the record, I don't believe in God …
However, if you choose to – its interesting that you seem to be selective in your theology and choose an old testament approach to Biblical interpretation. That is not the message of Christ that I understood from my reading of the New Testament (in conjunction with the Old). I suspect the veracity and mal intent of your heart will become apparent in your judgement, if your belief turns out to be appropriate (ie that there is a God).
Hi there Keith
I'm not just concerned with the content of your post, but with your grasp of English e.g. "annly fixated buggerers". Quite a lot of verbiage here too, like "sodomizing a rectum". The irony here is that appears to be you that is annly (sic) fixated.
He's an ex-gay schizophrenic, or something equally as wonderful. He seems to obsess about young boys and toilets a lot.
Thanks for pointing out the typo. It is a shame that the 'anally' fixated do not apply the same high standards to their sexual morality as they do to their grammar.
For moral lessons, see me.
For English lessons, see an English teacher.
"For moral lessons, see me"
LOL! Do you seriously, even in your acutely delusional state, think any of us do anything other than laugh at your ridiculous comments?
Before they're deleted, naturally :)
Many, if not all, of Keith's comments are found in Dick Hafer's 1986 Comic Book Series about the 'horrors' of homosexuality:
I think it is brill to be able to vote against this vile Keith being without having to read is predicatble hate filled ignorant bile.
Well put Gavin.
When I think of Keith I think the word 'deluded' springs to mind.
I mean, could it be any more deluded? Probably!!
"For moral lessons, see me"
Is that before or after your appointment with the Rent Boy?
Makes me laugh that Keith thinks his hatred makes him the moral one.
Again, could it be any more deluded?
Yet again a totally irrelevent comment from Keith.
Bravo Valksy!!!
Interestingly, this woman turns the lash back into a rather perverse, peevish, art form of sadomasochistic self-indulgent pique!!!
Don't you just love "muzzling these trolls!!!
Yes, I like the new system. :)
But I'd prefer it if people didn't respond to them once they've shown their true colours. That's what they seek – attention. Responding is doing exactly what they want.
Hi Iris, I agree there is no sense in feeding the trolls, and we really should try and avoid the temptation.
It isn't always easy…
Yes, I agree and I know I have relapses but sometimes it's difficult not to respond to such hatred.
I think it's more pity for it than anything else though, coz it's so sad that they hate life so..
Don't give it to Stephen Green he'll just think he's become relevant.
Bigot revealed at Cardiff Mardi Gras.
That picture is just brilliant :)
Who is Stephen Green?
Agreed. These bigots must be shown up for what they really are.
Whilst Lady Gaga and Joan Armatrading are good, positive role models, they not only enjoy what they do, but get paid for it too. Roger Crouch is the real hero. He doesn't get paid, and yet has tirelessly and selflessly been pushing the anti-gay bullying message all year to anyone who would listen, in order that other parents avoid the pain and agony that he and his wife suffered when they lost Dominic. It is only just over a year since Dom threw himself from a six-storey building, and Roger and Paola must still be grieving, but have channelled their grief into a challenging yet worthwhile cause, often without thanks and support. They deserve the recognition, and honouring Roger with the 'hero' title would help them realise that their hard work has no all been in vain.
I agree wholeheartedly with your thoughts here
Absolutely 100% agree that Roger Crouch thoroughly deserves the hero award for his dignified, honest and principled approach to dealing with homophobic bullying and his desire to engage in debate on forums such as these (and elsewhere) despite some disgraceful comments from some contributors. His work with Stonewall, Dept for Education and others should be honoured.
As for who should be bigot of the year, I must admit I am torn between Brian Souter, Melanie Phillips and Bill Walker – can't they share it?
Totally agree Rob. Roger Crouch is an inspiration.
well, I don't want to take anything away from what Mr Crouch has done or from the desperately sad loss of his son – but why did he send his child to a school run by the most homophobic institution in the country, the Church of Rome, in the first place?
I suspect that given Mr Crouch is far from homophobic (about as far as you can get from the evidence I have personally seen) and is a Catholic (if my memory is correct) demonstrates that just because an institution can be regarded as homophobic does not mean that all consituent parts are homophobic nor indeed all its members. I would also suggest that at the time of seeking a school place for his son that the standards of education etc were the principle thoughts in the family's mind, given that they had no indication that his son may or may not be gay – and they still believe that he was not gay and that the homophobic bullying was misdirected.
Agreed, Stu!
Roger Crouch has only just passed away – one or two days ago! Horrible!
Glad to see Stonewall are doing something useful again :|
Phillips for bigot.
I hate her and they way she belittles people who are different.
That woman was made with bile :(
But that's the Daily Mail mindset, sadly. I remember every morning on my commute to work a woman and her ghastly husband boarded the train at Luton Airport Parkway for the journey to London, with Daily Mail in hand. He had a sort of odd, deranged look about her as she looked around at the other passengers on the train to see who she could look down on.
One morning, she sat opposite me as I had my headphones on: I was listening to a piece of choral music and was following an accompanying musical score, becoming familiar with a piece of music I was about to sing as part of a choir. Her face was a picture! It was a look of disbelief that someone was (possibly) more cultured and intelligent than her.
But that's what these people are like: lower-middle class uber-chavs, bitter and resentful of people may just be happier and more content than they are.
Melanie Philips embodies all these twisted values. Vile! Truly vile!
Such a choice. I guess my vote goes to Melanie Phillips as it seems to take little for her to pipe up here bigotry and sadly, share it.
It is a shame though but I would imagine Melanie Phillips and her 'clan' would see such an awards as a status symbol just like the juveniles and their ASBOs.
With that in mind I wonder if there are really an differences between Ms Phillips and the thugs in the street we sadly here too much about.
An ASBO for Melanie would be preferable to an award any day.
Totally agree Alf N. Spit.
Won't someone please join my camaign to stop 'Jock S. Trap' diminishing and demeaning anything he writes about? It's nearly impossible to believe someone who uses such a childish pseudonym can have anything intelligent to say about anything. Unless, of course, that is his real name in which case he deserves our sympathy.
Judging someone by their name/pseudonym is such an intelligent way to make a judgement on their opinions … grow up and grow some balls
It is a good starting point Mr Pid!
Thank you Stu. :)
@Rashid – Grow up for goodness sake and take you petty vendettas else where!!!
Thank you JohnK. :)
I see Rashid Karapiet is on another boo-hoo tirade. Why not run along and tell a teacher, there's a good chap.
This woman is wrong about everything she writes. How has she got a platform? Oh that is right…she has Dogma compliance syndrome
Great endorsement, deservedly so. While they're at it, StonewallUK should include the Daily Mail as the worst daily homophobic rag and some at the BBC too. Is it too late to include Cardinal Keith O'Brien and Archbishop Conti of Scotland?
Valsky, exactly!
They forgot to include Ben Summerskill for his "study" about how much marriage/CP equality would cost the government. (And, I don't mean for the Hero award.)
Whilst I agree with the awards, some of the nominees, and I am thinking of Ms Phillips in particular, will use this as the basis for yet another article. People like this thrive on such publicity.
Such is their desperation for attention.
Melanie Philips definitely that bitch is truly vile!!
Couldn't have put it better, actually!
Don't forget big Jessie O'Brien.
Melanie Philips is the reason I managed to convince my mother that the Daily Mail was bad news. After being able to see the outrageous anti-gay stuff by realising it wasn't true of me, she realised the anti-everyone else stuff was probably not true either. Well done Mel, you're a hateful, awful woman but you show the Mail for what it is. Definitely my favourite bigot.
First came across Melanie Philips when researching tabloids for a Media Studies project and even at 15 I realised what a foul loathsome creature she is and I've kept a few tabs on here since and my opinion of her has only got lower over the years. Her and all those who agree with her are welcome to each other. Her lack of respect for anyone who doesn't fit her view of a 'proper' British person (white, hetero, protestant of course) makes me feel absolutely sick.
GayTaff, Phillips is Jewish!
I see you're right there. Sorry for my ignorance but upon reading an article of hears about the royal wedding she made particular mention of how great a show of Christian Britain it was so I made a silly assumption. That aside I believe what I said is accurate.
Gay Taff, no problem. What an odd comment she made though, Christian Britain. What has that to do exactly with pageantry? I wonder why she needed to say it? Makes no sense.. There's something wrong with her. Even odder is that she's Jewish and makes an absurd statement like that. I'm surprised she didn't get any flack for that. Christians aren' the only ones in the UK and the majority of the population doesn't worship, but then she's not that smart to realise it. How would she like it I wonder if we said some disparaging things about Jews, just to give her a dose of her own medicine? We're too decent to stoop so low as she is prone to do when it comes to us. She's a vile, disgusting piece of human detritus.
Well here's the article, it's kinda in the last 1/3 of it where she starts talking about Christianity: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1382618/Royal-Wedding-2011-A-joyful-day-rebuke-sour-faced-whiners-left.html
Well I agree we must not stoop to her level at all least of all for me because my best friend is Jewish and I'd loathe to lump him in the same boat as her. But most of all because the world won't be made a better place if everyone is tearing lumps out of each other. She can have her views if she wants, maybe it'll be of some comfort to her when the world leaves her behind and she is left even more redundant than she already is.
melanie philips gay charities are showing children acceptence not brainwashing i suppose she is one of them jesus freaks know as christians look not further than that lady for brainwashing
What the lovely Melanie fails to understand is, if this were a generation ago, she, as a Jewess, might have found herself sharing an oven with gay people.
Thanks for the kind coments about my unexpected nomination. Mel P is my favourite for bigot of the year. Pink News is getting very cautious "after apparently suffering homophobic bullying" – Dom left 3 notes all said he'd been bullied, one was addressed to all at St Edwards school, all said people were making up stuff about him and one of his school mates later said I think he misinterpreted the "gay stuff".
A great pity that Ben Cohen (the former England rugby player) isn't also amongst the nominees for Hero of the Year.
The Lady Keith protesteth too much. He/she is either mentally ill or is obsessed with the notion of annal intercourse in that he/she would probably enjoy a large lingum in his yoni!
While Ms Phillips comes across as strongly opinionated and not gay friendly, I find that often I agree with her opinions and value her insights and courage. I do not see her as being any more bigoted than the type of journalist that no doubt Stonewall approves of. This story says more about Stonewall than Ms Phillips, who sadly have gone down in my opinion.
oes anyone think that the new Javascript PN have loaded up with the rating systems is pointless.
It provides for a "Keith Away", but you can't see what the latest post is as it all re-adjusts via this script.
In other words, there is no longer a coherent human conversation as the rated comments float to the top it destroys the flow of conversation.
Just a thought having 28 years experience in all things IT and
I have to agree it's also really annoying that it doesn't show replies unless you click on them :(
anything that provides a 'keith away' gets my full support.
Love Melanie Phillips.
Why? Are you Rich in disguise?
I am saddened & shocked by this discovery about Melanie Phillips, who I have admired for quite other reasons. I will be very careful to temper my remarks about her in the future – thank you for this lesson.
Oh Dear! So Mossad trained Ms Phillips is at it again. She has been doing this sort of thing for decades and still she stands alone shouting in the dark with no one apart from those who pull her strings to take any notice. I wouldn't nominate her for anything on the planet it would boost her sagging ego. Please don't give her the oxygen of even the merest slip of publicity. She thrives on stale lies and poisonous crumbs of delusion.
OH! Mossad trained Melanie Phillips. Is she still alive?
Methinks the Lady Keith protesteth too much! Failing that, he/she appears to be mentally ill, in that he/she seems obsessed with annal intercourse. Perhaps all he/she really wants is a large lingum in his yoni!
Obsessed with your anus, aren't you Keith. Part of the "ex-gay training" was it?

The book's author is D.B. Cooper.
As every sentient Pacific Northwesterner knows, on Nov. 24, 1971, a man who gave his name as Dan Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 from Portland to Seattle, extorted $200,000 from authorities, had the jet refueled, and then somewhere between Seattle and Reno, jumped out of the plane with a parachute. His body was never found nor was an arrest ever made. In the subsequent 40 years, D.B. Cooper has gone on to become, alongside Bigfoot, the greatest legend in Pacific Northwest history.
Not only could Cooper successfully hijack a plane and elude the FBI, he also was (is?) an excellent writer. "HA-HA-HA" is a lively, often hilarious memoir that recounts his hard-luck life before the hijacking (failed real estate developer, boozer, petty thief), describes in serious detail what really happened that night (he smoked Raleigh cigarettes to deflect suspicion), how he made his escape (he rented a house and gassed up a vehicle not far from where he landed near Pyramid Lake), and how he shrewdly invested the ransom money (in Boeing and silver!) and became very wealthy. He may yet be alive and reading this.
Besides writing well, Cooper also seems to have invented a new literary genre: a cryptic-yet-lucrative contest within a book written by a criminal mastermind who practically dares the law to locate him. Unfortunately, finding this Lost Northwest book is about as easy as finding D.B. Cooper. A recent search on the most comprehensive used/rare book site turned up only three copies for sale, each for around $30. I have never seen the book in a library.
"HA-HA-HA" originally sold for $3.95. I bought mine for $6 at a used bookstore in Lincoln City a decade ago and never bothered to read it until the recent release of the latest D.B. Cooper book, "Skyjack: The Hunt for D.B. Cooper" by Geoffrey Gray, and the revelation that the FBI had a new lead in the case. As it turned out, the lead went nowhere and the mystery remains, which raises the question: Did Gray and all the other D.B. Cooper buffs bother to read "HA-HA-HA"? I doubt they knew of its existence.
Wouldn't it be something if D.B. Cooper did write this superb book and the Big Score was (is) for real? What better ingenious way to throw off the FBI? Tell everyone what happened and everyone thinks you're a nut. And then to top it off, stage a contest!
Whoever owned "HA-HA-HA" before me made an active effort to discover the clues and left behind outstanding notes. Is $200,000 just sitting somewhere in a safety deposit box or storage facility?
Clue No. 1, on Page 25: The Phoenix Sun.
If you want to learn more clues, be sure to attend "DB Cooper Night" sponsored by orhistory.com at Mississippi Studios, 3939 N. Mississippi Ave., at 7:30 tonight. I'll be there, along with Katy Barber, an assistant professor at Portland State University, and Doug Kenck-Crispin.
Matt Love is the author/editor of seven books about Oregon, including his latest book, "Love & the Green Lady," about the Yaquina Bay Bridge.

From Falling Waters:
Although I enjoyed Dr. Bennett's article on George Washington in last Friday's paper, I must point out that Washington was known for his boat trip across the Delaware, not the Potomac. Also, she made absolutely no mention of his numerous slave holdings.
From Berkeley County:
Yes, you can blame a Republican for our high gas prices. Yes, President Lincoln's signature split Virginia. So we have reaped the results since 1863.
From Martinsburg:
Concerning Tiger Woods and Obama being friends: What's the difference? A lot of our top officials were friends with the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. So what's the difference in friendship between Tiger Woods and Obama? There is no difference. Friends are friends.
From Martinsburg:
I want to thank those young people, and praise God for them, that stood up for the rights of having prayer in the Square. We need more people like that. We need people like that to run our nation and we would be much better off. God bless you, young people, and the minister as well! Thank you.
From Martinsburg:
Sequestration is yet another crisis contrived by Obama to obscure our real problems. There will be no solutions. There will be no layoffs, but we will be encouraged to bow the knee and kiss the ring of the king.
From Martinsburg:
To the person complaining about NASCAR racing, if you don't like it, don't watch it. Some people do like it. I think it's one of the best sports to watch.
From Charles Town:
When is that rat trap of a house going to be cleared away on South George Street? The one with all the old cars surrounding it? It looks like a junkyard for auto parts. I am surprised the city allows this. It would make a great parking lot for working people in town, not for car storage. Please bulldoze it, clean it up and put it to use for the residents of Charles Town. Thanks a lot.
From Inwood:
Isn't it amazing that in just four years the public has been conditioned to accept $4 gasoline instead of $2 as "normal."
From Martinsburg:
In reading the recent articles in The Journal in reference to the Jefferson Commission appointing a new sheriff. The office of sheriff under the state code: No. 1, serves the courts; No. 2, collects taxes and No. 3, heads county law enforcement. One duty shall not be more important than the other. I would ask the voters of Jefferson County to ask one question: Will this appointee have any prior law enforcement knowledge, training, etc.?
From Martinsburg:
Robert Reich, the so-called "economist" of Keynesian stripe, said "Minimum wage is a no-brainer." He's right. No one with brains would suggest it. Many decades of experience have shown that minimum wage eliminates thousands of low-skilled workers from payrolls. No one should expect "burger-flippers" to support a family of four on minimum wage. When minimum wage is abolished, hundreds of thousands of willing teens and others of low skill will have work.
From Berkeley Springs:
Instead of legislators passing a minimum wage act, they should make legislation favorable to making money so that the job market tightens up and businesses have to pay more to get help and still more to get good help. Every country has had its power backed by a great economy. We are following the socialist Pied Piper into being and having less, not more.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI. – Rick Williams' adventure into the Spartan Death Race ended after 30 hours.
The good news?
He's still alive.
"It was intense," the 36-year-old from Grand Rapids said of the weekend event in Pittsfield, Vt. that attracted 300 entrants from around the country. Official results have not been posted on youmaydie.com, but Williams said about 10 to 15 finished, with the final competitors coming in after 60-plus hours.
After about 30 hours of competition, Williams, a government contractor, injured his ankle when he tumbled on a descent down a mountainside, and eventually had to retire.
"As soon as I got up and figured I hadn't ripped anything open or broken anything that I could tell, I realized that my ankle was stiff, but numb," he said. "That turned into stiff but painful over the next half-hour as I descended the mountain. I was using my (walking poles) as a pair of crutches by the time I made it to the bottom of the mountain. I worked my way back to the base camp and had to leave the race because of the injury."
He didn't feel failure.
"I really didn't feel any sort of nagging feeling of failure, and I think it was because the race kind of demanded everything you had all the time with almost no downtime," he said. "I'm not kidding. If you had more than two minutes between events, you were super lucky."
Williams was satisfied that his training for the bizarre mix of mental and physical challenges paid off.
"The stuff we were called on to do in the race was even more intense than the pace of my training hikes, but resource deprivation training I did came in very handy," he said. "I didn't experience muscle failure or many of the things that start to get you from that type of exposure. I was really looking forward to the next leg of the event that many of us thought would start to separate us out some."
Among the obstacles Williams encountered – entrants don't know the course until just before the start – were running, swimming, lifting and even writing an essay 24-plus hours into the race.
The first challenge, which Williams said lasted about 24 hours, involved hiking up mountains carrying – over their heads - either a sea-style kayak (about 150 pounds) or 4-inch PVC tubes filled with sand and water.
"We were also in competition with each other not to be the last group in the line of kayaks and pipes for fear of some harsh punishment or being disqualified," Williams said.
Next year's race is expected to be held in Las Vegas, and Williams appears likely to enter again.
"I told my buddy Smitty (Ryan Smith, who served as his support crew), I was going to take a week to think about it," Williams said. "In my mind, I'm 99 percent of the way there. I just want to let that thought settle in for a few days. I have this nagging feeling, even if it was some random injury this time that no one would probably fault me for, I will have let this race beat me if I don't go back."

A little inside baseball here (pardon the pun): After taking in four games at the Roselle Park Dad's Club Invitational, I sat down late Sunday night and into the wee hours of Monday morning to hammer out this week's Star-Ledger Top 20.
Figuring out the top 2 was easy. It was also quite simple to figure out Nos. 3-7. And then? It was a mess. This is officially the Season of Parity. We wanted to just call it a day, present The Star-Ledger Top Seven this week and move on, but alas.
So here is the third installment of The Star-Ledger Top 20 this season. Some of these teams have already lost on Monday (Monday through Sunday poll, as always) but that's just the way it is. It's baseball. Please leave any questions, comments or concerns down below in the comments section and I will get back to you as soon as humanly possible.

Ernie's World
By Ernie Witham
This Column Brought to You By Aleve…
A new term has entered my everyday vocabulary – age-related. Seems like every time I visit my doctor for a checkup he says the same "old" thing.
"Doc, it hurts when I bend over."
"That's normal for a guy your age."
"And I'm really sensitive to cold things."
"That's normal for a guy your age."
"And I'm fidgety and have trouble relaxing."
"Yes, I noticed that, but if you'll stop complaining for just one minute we'll be done with your proctology exam."
Anyway, the good news is I'm not alone in this age-related dilemma, as was evidenced by a recent golf outing with a group of my peers. Together we had enough age-related problems to fill a medical journal.
"Can you pull your seat up? Lately, my calves tend to cramp when my knees are forced into my chin."
"You mean like when you fall into a sand trap?" Rich asked as he pulled his seat forward one notch.
We were driving from Santa Barbara to the Alisal River Course in Solvang in Rich's truck. It's one of those super cabs with a back seat big enough for two grown men, provided the men are 4 feet tall and don't have any appendages.
"One good thing about sitting back here," John said, "is that I don't need a seat belt. If we have an accident, I'll only be thrown forward about four inches."
"Course that could be enough to throw your back out," I said. "Mine went out once just bending over to tie my shoes."
"The only way you could bend over far enough to reach your shoes is if they were on your knees," Rich said.
"Yeah, just wait until you get to be my age," I said.
"I am your age," he said.
"Right, well be careful tying your shoes that's all I'm saying."
"I knew someone who threw their back out sneezing," Roger said.
"Great. I've been having a lot of sinus problems when I golf," said John. "I've developed allergies in the last few years."
"Me too," both Roger and I said.
"That's because you guys spend so much time in the woods. It's not as bad out on the fairway."
Rich always offers to drive. That way he can say whatever he wants and doesn't have to worry about getting beat up on the way to the course.
"I used to have back problems," I said. "Now I have golfer's elbow. The doctor said it's because I have a steep swing plane and I take divots that are too large."
"You mean it's from hitting the ground instead of the ball," Rich said.
"Yeah, but in an athletic manner."
"I've got golfer's elbow and tennis elbow in both arms," Roger said. "I have to take Aleve before I play."
This comment produced a chorus that sounded like a commercial on the six-o'clock news.
"I take Aleve."
"I take Aleve."
"I take Aleve."
We all checked our watches to see whether it was time for another dose.
The other expression that's now become quite common in my everyday vernacular is heredity. The first thing the doctors want to know is whether your parents had something so they can say: "Probably runs in your family."
"Do you think I inherited this problem from my mother, Doc?" I asked.
"I don't know. Did she have jock itch?"
Turns out today's group had some heredity issues, also.
"I'm going to cholesterol class," said Roger. "My cholesterol is on the rise."
"Kind of like your handicap, huh?" Rich said.
We all looked at Rich and he smiled and mouthed the words: "Careful, we're doing sixty miles per hour."
"What do they teach you in cholesterol class," John asked.
"How to eat and drink."
"What have you learned so far?"
"That red wine is good for you."
"Wow. I've been self-medicating every night and didn't even know it," I said.
Rich pulled into the parking lot and we all got out to stretch a bit. All the creaks and groans sent a heron and two ducks to flight.
"Oh, there goes my shoulder."
"I think I felt a twinge in my neck."
"My foot fell asleep. I can't wake it up!"
We limped into the pro shop.
"You guys all together?" he asked.
"Not anymore," I said, an age-related quiver in my voice.

Colburn's steady leadership, play drive Auburn Mountainview | Prep fastpitch
Delene Colburn is rock solid.
On the softball field and in the dugout, the Auburn Mountainview senior's playing and leadership skills are such stuff as programs are made on.
Next season Colburn, a three-time all-league selection at infield and pitcher, will be among six players signed to begin the University of Montana fastpitch program.
According to Lions coach Alicia Thompson, it's a role with which Colburn is already familiar.
"She's just been part of the foundation of the program," Thompson said. "In reality, it's our eighth year of the program, and she's been there for half of them. This is what she's built. It's a great legacy she leaves behind.
"She has amazing, competitive drive, that competitive spirit that gets our team going and keeps us going," Thompson added. "Whether we're down in games, up in games, she keeps the team alive in the dugout or out in the field."
Colburn began playing at age 5, following in the footsteps of older sister Deanna, who was a standout softball player at Auburn Mountainview.
"We actually played together a couple of times, but not in high school," Colburn said.
It didn't take long for Colburn's skills and leadership to make their presence felt on the field.
"I was a natural leader right away, so that kind of helped develop my attitude toward the sport right away," Colburn said.
When she was just 9, Colburn played in her first softball all-star game for Auburn Little League after setting her sights on a collegiate career.
Colburn parlayed her Little League experience into a standout club career, most recently with the Washington Ladyhawks Gold team.
By the time she turned out for the Auburn Mountainview program as a freshman, Colburn was already a highly-touted infielder.
Circumstance intervened, however, and she was asked to shoulder the pitching load for the Lions.
"I started at shortstop, then I moved to pitcher because we needed a pitcher in high school," Colburn said. "My best positions are second or third, though."
"When she goes to college, she's probably not going to throw," Thompson said. "Her coach may do that, but she's a great infielder and great outfielder. But she's made the sacrifice to throw for us. It may not be the No. 1 thing she wants to do, but she never complains, she just gets up there and throws her heart out."
Colburn said that, although she was happy to help the team any way she could, assuming the No. 1 pitcher role was difficult.
"It was hard to have to pitch every single game my freshman, sophomore and junior years," Colburn said. "It's mentally really tiring. Sometimes you're out there and the other team is just hitting and hitting and hitting. And you have no relief. So you have to just suck it up. But it builds character I guess."
And for Colburn, it's built character as sturdy as a brick house, Thompson said.
"Her maturity this year has been huge, where she's come since she was a freshman to senior year," Thompson said. "She's just really supportive of the freshman, the JV program and my sophomores and juniors. She's really encouraging, and not the snotty senior who is above everyone. I'm really impressed by how she welcomes everybody in and wants them to improve."
Colburn agreed:
"I'm more vocal, but with a positive attitude towards the girls," she said. "I encourage them to come out and work hard and do their best. That's what I see my role as. My dad (Lions assistant coach Ken Colburn) always said to be positive toward others. And that's natural to me because I've put so much time toward it. So I try to coach people and encourage them."
Last year Colburn and her Auburn Mountainview teammates fought their way to the state 3A tournament, where the team went two and out.
This year the goal is go to further.
"We wanted to go to state again because it's the seniors' last year," Colburn said. "We wanted to redeem ourselves and try to go further. It was hard because we were pumped. But we were just happy we made it because it was the first time for this program in six years."
Auburn Mountainview, who finished second in the South Puget Sound League 3A with a 9-6 record, 11-7 overall, began play in the sub-district playoffs Thursday night at the Boise Creek Six-Plex in Enumclaw. Scores were unavailable at press time.

Not in the way you might think, though.
"The difference was, they got to the foul line because they're fast, they're experienced and they're talented," Beilein said Saturday. "That was a big difference in the game. Not the officiating, just the fact that they got to the foul line.
"Because that's what they do."
Entering the game, Michigan was averaging a national-best 11.8 fouls per game. Opponents were shooting just 11.2 free throws per contest.
At Indiana on Saturday, Michigan was whistled for 19 fouls, and the Hoosiers held a 25-7 free throw advantage.
Part of that edge was aided by the Wolverines' late-game fouling strategy, as they put Indiana on the line 10 times during the final 1:05 with an effort to extend the game.
However, IU big man Cody Zeller played 34 minutes in a Big Ten game Hoosiers coach Tom Crean dubbed as "physical" -- and was never once whistled for a foul. Indiana's Victor Oladipo, an extremely intense, talented and physical defender, was whistled for two fouls.
But, again, Beilein said he took no umbrage with how Mike Sanzere, Ted Valentine and Mike Eades called the game.
"I don't know," Beilein said. "Normally, and I won't look at the film for a while, (but) that's a pretty good crew."
Indiana, meanwhile, continues to lead the country in free throws attempted -- and now averages 27.4 foul shots per contest.
At home, in Assembly Hall, the Hoosiers have attempted 402 free throws in 15 games this season. Their opponents have attempted 215.
Crean credited some of that to his team's improved ability to stay out of foul trouble.
"I think anyone who would look at it and say 'they don't foul that much,' (but) they're physical," Crean said after the game. "There's no doubt about that. This was the most physical I've seen them, the film doesn't do it justice maybe, but they were physical. It was imperative that we got to the line."
When Michigan State visited Indiana on Jan. 27, the Spartans attempted just six free throws in a five-point loss. Michigan attempted seven Saturday in an eight-point loss.
After the MSU loss, Spartans coach Tom Izzo went on record saying big man Derrick Nix was "clobbered" during a crucial late-game play that was whistled as a traveling call.
Playing on the road isn't easy, but Crean -- a former Izzo assistant at Michigan State -- insists his team shoots more free throws because it makes a point of getting to the line, and not fouling on defense.
"We went from 23 fouls a game (two years ago), which was worst in the country, to 17 a game (last year)," Crean added. "And we're still even bringing that down."
"There might be some opponents who wouldn't agree with that, but that's what the numbers say. (I'm) sure Izzo's not listening."

You're talking about a S&W correct? Good reliable guns for sure.
I have a Ruger LCR with tritum night sights in 38 Special that serves as a CCW gun. It's light but it's a DAO only gun which you might not like.
Take a course, man. Best thing you can do is to find a reliable gun, and practice with it consistently. The GLOCK 19 is reliable as fuck. I carried one as a contractor for 2+ years in Iraq, and even in those conditions, it never failed with reasonable maintenance. But it all depends on how you shoot it. Some people just don't like em, and I'm not one to argue with that. All I know is I have been effective with them.
I agree. I have a 438 and it's a bitch to shoot. Definitely NOT for a beginning shooter. On the other hand, it's reliable and accurate. Just takes some doing to shoot well. But then, I practice with is constantly.
lol This isn't a competition. Stay in your lane.

When signals need to be exchanged long distances and the installation site is exposed to the elements, cable and contact-based systems very quickly reach their limits. In the industrial sector, the wireless InduraNET p system from Pilz Automation Safety L.P. has demonstrated its suitability for everyday use. Now it is proving to be a reliable signal and data transmitter under difficult conditions in a wastewater treatment plant.
The scraper bridge rotates its way round the third secondary settling tank, which has been in operation at the wastewater treatment plant in Bergen auf Rügen, Germany since early 2008. Two blades remove floating sludge and scum on the floor of the tank. At the same time, the station moving along the bridge collects messages on conditions and potential faults. These messages are transmitted wirelessly to the control station, about 90 yards away, via InduraNET p (Industrial Radio Network). In 2005 Bergen's local authority put the expansion of its wastewater treatment plant out to public bid. The requirement manual specified various status conditions to be communicated to the control station.
As with all applications using rotary joints or slip ring transmission systems, contact-based communication systems are limited to linear or rotational movements. InduraNET p was developed for a rugged industrial environment. Its distinguishing features are robust and interference-free communication, plus high availability and coexistence capability with other wireless services.
An InduraNET p network consists of a base station and a remote station; allowing for two-way communication. A maximum of 10 InduraNET p networks can cooperate within a single environment. Pre-assembled cables are used to connect the base and remote station to industrial antennas. At the plant the remote station is positioned on the blade; the controls for the drives, pumps and snow sweeper are issued via the I/O modules. The base station is located in the control cabinet. InduraNET p does not adversely affect any other industrial wireless systems. Busy frequencies are marked as unusable for a certain time period. InduraNET p has a strong immunity to signals from other wireless services. The compact antennas enable efficient wireless communication despite constantly changing conditions in relation to the propagation of the radio waves.
InduraNET p is used in conjunction with the decentralized I/O system PSSuniversal, which can process safety-related signals and/or standard control signals. The configuration of the wireless network is stored on a chip card, plant availability is therefore assured, should it be necessary to exchange the station hardware. Even outside classic industrial applications, this technology shows its strengths wherever there's a need to transfer a wide range of signals. The plant operator intends to fit InduraNET p systems to the two older secondary settling tanks. Service and maintenance intervals will be extended, making the plant more available and reducing costs.

BAY CITY — The fates of a two local brothers charged with raping a pair of small boys are in limbo as authorities determine whether to sentence them as adults or juveniles.
Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran was to sentence Leeallen K. Weaver, 19, Monday morning. Sheeran granted defense attorney Maureen L. Fitzgerald's request for an adjournment in order to allow the Department of Human Services time to prepare a report recommending what court actions be taken.
Weaver in July pleaded no contest to assault with intent to commit sexual penetration, a 10-year felony. His brother William F. Weaver, 18, pleaded no contest to the same charge Monday. A report from DHS is pending in regards to William Weaver as well.
Though the brothers are now adults, they were minors when they allegedly sexually assaulted two boys — now ages 12 and 8 — from 2005 to 2008 at Bay City and Bangor Township homes. As such, they are entitled to such reports from DHS.
As they were charged as adults, the brothers could receive prison time. Bay County Assistant Prosecutor J. Dee Brooks said he is recommending Leeallen Weaver be sentenced to statutory probation.
Police began investigating the Weavers' in November when one of their alleged victims told a relative of the abuse in an effort to protect a possible third victim, court records show.
Sheeran is now scheduled to sentence the brothers on Dec. 5.

To see goalie Martin Brodeur facing shots from Devils' players has to raise coach Brent Sutter's level of excitement. But Sutter told me Monday that he isn't looking too far ahead when it comes to Brodeur's return.
"You know what? I'm talking the cautious approach," Sutter said. "This is just another step in the process of his rehab. Whenever Marty is ready, that's when he'll be ready. There is no timetable, there is no pressure from within the organization. When he's ready, he'll be ready. This is another process we have to go through with Marty in his rehab. It's all part of it and we'll monitor it on a day-to-day basis."
Sutter likes what he sees.
"Sure I do," Sutter said. "He looks like he's taking steps. And that's the important thing. Encouraging steps."

Lehigh County Center for Recovery opens
It's the first of its kind in the Lehigh Valley.
A treatment center that focuses on drug addiction and mental illness at the same time.
The Lehigh County Center for Recovery opened its doors in March.
The 31 bed facility puts patients through detox, a personalized sobriety program and addresses their mental health needs.
Law enforcement officials say the center could also have an impact on crime in the Lehigh Valley.
"A year from now it will be fascinating to see the impact of putting a few hundred people through this facility rather than locking them up in the county jail that is going to be the payoff," said former U.S. Drug Policy director Gen. Barry McCaffrey.
McCaffrey says the program used at the center could become the national standard.
