A Harrison man accused of attempting to murder two people by driving his vehicle into them during a South Hackensack bar brawl on Jan. 27 is among six men charged in connection with the fight.
An argument between two groups of three men started inside Twins Plus Lounge on South Main Street at 1:44 a.m. and spilled into the street, where police officers responding found six people thought to be involved, according the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.
It was announced yesterday that Anthony Pate, 37, of Belleville, and Garfield residents, Benjamin Venegas, 27, and Raphael Carrrion, Jr., 28, have been charged. Charged earlier were Ernest Brodie, 20, of Seventh Street in Harrison; Jesus Colon, 21, of Lyndhurst, and Lukasz Dziewiatkowski, 31, of Garfield, officials said.
During the fight, Brodie allegedly got into his vehicle and intentionally drove it into Dziewiatkowski on Saddle River Avenue before turning around and running it into Venegas on South Main Street, police said.
Dziewiatkowski suffered several broken bones and was treated at Hackensack University Medical Center and released, while Venegas suffered severe head trauma and was released from the hospital three days later, officials said.
Carrion was bludgeoned in the head with a hammer, Pate was stabbed once in the torso, and Colon suffered cuts to his face and leg, officials said, adding that a total of five people were taken to hospitals that morning.
The owners and several employees of Twins Plus Lounge were cited by South Hackensack Police with 14 alleged ordinance violations, officials said.

LEXINGTON, Ohio (July 20, 2014) — Dustin Dominguez swept the SuperSport races at Mid-Ohio this weekend. Dominguez held off a desperate last-lap pass attempt by Hayden Gillim to win the race by 3.5 seconds. It was actually closer than the margin of victory indicated since Gillim was right there, but ran off the line on his final pass attempt. Conner Blevins scored third, earning his first career podium.
The result set up a situation where Gillim and Dominguez are only separated by two points so the title will likely be decided on the final weekend between those two.
"The team has been awesome all weekend," Dominguez said. They put together a really good bike for me. The last lap I made a little mistake and Hayden tried to put it on me that was fun."
For Gillim he said he gave it his all.
"The bike got a little better, but we're still having issues with grip," Gillim said. "Coming out of keyhole on the next to last lap I nearly highsided. He (Dominguez) made a little mistake coming into Thunder Alley. I felt like I could have made the pass, but I didn't want to take us both out. We still have the points lead and we're looking forward to New Jersey."
It was a disastrous weekend for the rider who was dominant earlier in the season Corey Alexander. Something happened to his bike before the start and he pulled off the side of the track just as the riders were gearing up to take the green flag.

Yarmouth Justice Centre.Tina Comeau photo
By Tina Comeau
A hearing aimed at determining whether to void the election results in District 5 in the Municipality of Argyle will be heard in Yarmouth Supreme Court on Jan. 24.
On Nov. 22 the lawyer representing Malcolm Madden – the incumbent who lost the seat to Nicole Albright by two votes – appeared in Supreme Court, along with lawyers for the Municipality of Argyle and Albright.
The municipality hasn't yet determined whether it will contest the application, but Argyle's solicitor, Real Boudreau, said they would be complying with defence requests for information.
Albright's lawyer, Martin Pink, said she is not contesting the application and will abide by the court ruling. Her involvement in the court matter is just as an observer, said Pink.
Hugh Robichaud, Madden's lawyer, told Justice Pierre Muise he hoped to see this matter make its way through the court as expeditiously as possible since there is public interest in its outcome, especially if it means a new election, and also because a drawn-out process means more expense for the parties.
Still, there are procedures to follow and documents to file and those timeframes were worked out by the lawyers and the judge, which pushes back when a hearing can be held.
Part of the issue before the court is the fact that two people who voted in District 1 during the election should have voted in District 5, because that is where they reside, said Robichaud,
But he told the court that isn't the information the couple in question was given on election day, Oct. 20, when they inquired at a polling station at Ecole Secondaire de Par-en-Bas as to what district they resided in and should vote in. He said following a phone call made by the polling station workers to another location, the two voters were given PINs to cast their vote electronically or by telephone in District 1, which is where they were told they resided.
In court last Thursday, Robichaud told the judge he didn't yet know who was on the other end of that telephone call. He said an explanation needs to be provided about how on election day two people could have been given PINs for a district they didn't live in. Robichaud referred to a section of the Municipal Elections Act that states the qualification of voters could not be challenged or changed on the day of the election.
"The electorate is most interested in a timely resolution of this matter," said Robichaud. "This is a matter that involves voter confidence."
There was also reference in court about land surveys and boundaries that are being looked into.
Albright was declared the winner on election night with 302 votes compared to 300 votes for Madden. She was sworn in on Nov. 13.
The Supreme Court hearing on Jan. 24 has been set for 1:30 p.m.

Gothenburg will be the final stop on the route for the 12th edition of the Volvo Ocean Race in 2014-15 and will also feature in the 13th edition of the race.
The Swedish city of Gothenburg has Scandinavia's largest port and has a well earned reputation for hosting major sporting events. 2014-15 will be the third time Gothenburg has hosted the Volvo Ocean Race and the second time it has staged the finale.
"Gothenburg is the perfect place to finish a global event of this stature," said Volvo Ocean Race CEO Knut Frostad. "It's great to know that after sailing tens of thousands of miles around the world we'll be coming to a Host Port with all the facilities and knowhow to make this a great event, and the history to make it feel like a real homecoming.
Gothenburg, Volvo's hometown, hosted the Volvo Ocean Race in 2001-02 and again in 2005-06 and has also staged the World and European Athletics Championships (1995 and 2006, respectively), as well as the World Figure Skating Championships (2008) and the final of the European Soccer Championship in 1992 among major events. The European Indoor Athletics Championships take place in the city in March 2013.
"Volvo Ocean Race is a world-class event and the city of Gothenburg will now strengthen its position as one of the leading event cities in northern Europe", says Anneli Hulthén, Mayor of Gothenburg.
Gothenburg is the fourth Host Port on the 2014-15 route to be revealed so far. The 12th edition of the race will start from Alicante in Spain and call first at Recife in north east Brazil. Later in the race, the teams will visit Auckland in New Zealand before rounding Cape Horn for a second Brazilian stop in Recife.
Further port announcements will be made over the coming weeks.

Dear ones,
Poverty is not pretty and not quiet -- but here in Haiti, it often wears a smile. Honestly, these people are so happy despite the horrible conditions under which they live. Today we went to Renault, a place of shacks, huts and lean-to "homes" inhabited by hundreds, maybe a few thousand, people.
Folks here have BIG families -- at least four or five kids to each family -- and few have shoes. Some have few clothes. Many have toothpick-sized arms and legs, partly from running everywhere, partly from not having enough food to eat.
We were "blessed" with rain today as we drove there in our pickup trucks -- but the sun came out and dried things too. The past several weeks have been super wet here, we're told.
When we got to the little Assemblies of God church where our clinic was, we were surrounded by hundreds of needy people and had to try to part the crowd to get inside and set up shop. The church was hot, but the tin roof protected us from the rain which followed.
We took care of over 300 patients today -- and have served 816 on this whole trip. At one point, hundreds of people tried to surge into the church, breaking the barn-sized door off the hinges. A man with a stick got the crowd to move back; then people passed babies over their heads through the crowd so they could be seen. Oh my, a near riot -- but we kept pulling teeth at the dental station.
EVERYONE here wants to be seen, and we are doing the best we can, yet it's not enough. Our doctors are seeing lots of sick folks. In the dental clinic, Dr. Tom Turry and I (and our Haitian translator) have seen some downright awful teeth. Some come out easily, some don't. I call it "Tom Turry's Teeth Termination & Tea and Tasty Treats." (Yes, I have my thermos along and serve afternoon tea at 2:30 -- which we remember by the phrase TOOTH HURTY!)
Our first guy wanted 6 teeth pulled -- and Tom did so. We had brave children getting their teeth pulled too.
Syd Stephan, another cool guy from Minnesota, ran the glasses clinic. At least he didn't get a riot today as he did yesterday -- he had so many people yesterday wanting to get glasses that total chaos erupted.
Today, one older lady tried on glasses from Syd's wife, Barb. She lit up when she could see. She found she could walk without stumbling, so she said "OUI, OUI, OUI" -- all the way home!
Dr. Nancy Alexis keeps her cool despite all the chaos. She's an organized leader and keeps the mission running like a well-oiled machine.
Dr. Brian McCollough had to take care of two people who passed out while waiting in line for us. On this trip, he's taken care of people with cancer, several with HIV, autoimmune total body hair loss from head to toe, suspected TB and more. We've seen lots of pregnant women.
Brian has another talent too -- as we BOUNCED home in the back of a pickup truck (amusement park rides aren't nearly as bouncy), he held my thermos cup full of hot tea -- WITHOUT SPILLING A DROP! I gave him a little pack of Lorna Doones for a reward.
Dr. Mike D'Alesssandro in some ways is the team comedian, always smiling, always livening things up whether counting pills or playing cards. Of course, he sees hundreds of patients too.
Joy Panacoupoulos (We went to Ukraine together) and I have been walking up a steep, dark hill, guided by flashlight, so we can send out e-mail. She ran our ICU, such as it was, outside!
Tomorrow, we go back to Renault -- and expect even more patients, yikes! It's both exhausting and rewarding to do mission medical trips, and I wouldn't trade this for anything, even with the bug bites.
Friday, we'll be at a hospice run by the Sisters of Charity. I look forward to that too.
Well, got to go -- I miss you and hope all of you are well. I wish you could send us some COOL weather.

More than 1,400 motorists ticketed during Operation Work Brake
The New York State Thruway Authority announced that 1,400 tickets were issued by New York State Police Troop T to motorists for speeding violations during "Operation Work Brake," a five-day enforcement campaign.
The campaign was held July 9 through July 13, when Troop T stepped up enforcement efforts on the Thruway.
In 2011, there were numerous work zone crashes in New York state on the Thruway. The Thruway has been very proactive in maintaining the safety of the motoring public and the construction workers.

TRURO - An assistant professor with a nursing program in Alberta will come to Truro this month, discussing the importance of HIV/AIDS education in Uganda.
Karen Kittilsen, with the Truro-based Northern AIDS Connection Society, which is hosting the event, said guest speaker Jean Harrowing and this topic have specific relevance to the local area.
"There are a lot of community partners
we work with here that commit funds overseas" for such initiatives, said Kittilsen, of Harrowing, an assistant professor in the Baccalaureate Nursing Program at the University of Lethbridge.
"And persons who work in the health field have a connection to palliative care and AIDS ... there's always other models of practice we can learn from," said Kittilsen.
Harrowing has 28 years experience as a registered nurse and her doctoral research involved the impact of HIV/AIDS education on nurses and nurse-midwives in Uganda.
She is also a member of an international research team which explores the role of nurses from sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean in the design and implementation of HIV policy in the workplace.
Harrowing will share her experiences and ideas at the Nova Scotia Community College's McCarthy Library, in Room 111, Feb. 17 beginning at 7 p.m. For more information, call the Northern AIDS Connection Society at

John Smoltz, who has struggled in his attempt to return from offseason shoulder surgery with the Red Sox, was designated for assignment by the club on Friday. Smoltz was knocked around by the Yankees on Thursday night, giving up eight earned runs in just 3 1/3 innings.
The Red Sox have called up Japanese pitcher Junichi Tazawa, presumably to take Smoltz's spot on the roster. The 23-year-old is 9-7 with a 2.55 ERA between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket this season with 94 strikeouts in 109 1/3 innings.
Smoltz was 2-5 with an 8.33 ERA with Boston this season and struggled mightily against lefties. The team now has 10 days to trade or release the 42-year-old.
Billy Traber was also DFA'd by the Sox, and the team purchased the contract of infielder Chris Woodward from the Mariners on Friday.

A Brooklyn man's armed robbery conviction has been overturned by the state Supreme Court after the court determined that the man was improperly denied his right to self-representation.
Marcus King, 32, was convicted in 2007 of being an accomplice in a two-hour armed robbery spree in 2002 during which King and two others targeted four hotels in Somerset and Middlesex counties.
King was already serving a 15-year prison term for earlier, similar convictions when he was sentenced in the robberies of the Red Bull Inn in Bridgewater, the Howard Johnson's Express in North Plainfield, the Holiday Inn in South Plainfield and the Days Inn in Edison on Sept. 22, 2002. Two people were injured during the robberies.
King appealed, claiming that the trial court had improperly denied him the right to serve as his own defense counsel in the case.
The trial judge questioned King regarding his request to represent himself and determined that the defendant was neither adequately prepared or familiar with court process to do so and denied the request.
The state Supreme Court sided with King, ruling that the trial court's examination to determine whether the defendant was able to represent himself was "insufficient."
As a result, the Supreme Court said, "the (trial) court's ultimate determination was flawed," and King's conviction must be reversed.

PITTSFIELD -- A North Adams man accused of stabbing a friend during an argument in 2012 is back in custody on $20,000 bail after failing to appear for a court hearing last month.
Mario R. Babbs, 27, is accused of stabbing Cole DeSanty with a steak knife on June 2, 2012, in Babbs' Brook Terrace apartment. Police say the defendant stabbed DeSanty multiple times during an argument over a lost wallet.
DeSanty, who was 27 at the time, suffered life-threatening wounds, including a punctured left lung and internal bleeding, according to police.
Babbs has pleaded not guilty felony charges of assault to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
While out on $5,000 cash bail Babbs failed to show up for a hearing in Berkshire Superior Court on March 28 and a warrant was issued for him.
According to his lawyer, Springfield- based Terrence M. Dunphy, he was unable to reach him and was told by Babbs' mother and former-girlfriend they didn't know where he was.
"He didn't maintain contact with me," Dunphy told the court on Tuesday.
Babbs was arrested in Northampton and held at the Hampshire County Jail & House of Correction before being returned to Berkshire County.
It was unclear under what circumstances he was picked up.
On Tuesday in Berkshire Superior Court, First Assistant Berkshire District Attorney Paul J. Caccaviello told Judge Daniel A.
The defense attorney can ask for a bail hearing at a later date.
Caccaviello has asked that Babbs' original $5,000 bail be forfeited. A hearing on the issue is scheduled for May 8.
Babbs' trial is set for July.

This game was a lot more enjoyable than I had originally anticipated, and with good reason. The playoffs were involved.
After the opening tip, Glencoe came out firing on all cylinders as a squad. Their guards were able to hit a couple of quick jump shots in the opening two minutes which really bolstered their confidence. Once the Sherwood defense was concentrated on Glencoe's shooters, the opportunity for Kevan Acker to shine presented itself. At first, Acker was doing everything around the basket. He hit his hook shots, made lay-ups and everything he put on the glass seemed to fall right through the bottom of the net with ease. However, as Sherwood began to make one of their many runs during the game, Acker would not relent. Every shot he took was in rhythm. If the middle of the lane was clogged with bodies, Acker would pass the ball, step out to the perimeter and knock down a smooth jumper on assissts coming from his guards. His ability to recognize the defense and make the proper adjustments (not to mention his fantastic interior defense) is the reason Glencoe had such a great first half, and was able to stay in the game until the final two minutes.
Despite an atrocious first two quarters for the Bowmen, halftime seemed to reignite a fire that Sherwood had all but burnt out. With the prospect of their season ending on a rainy Friday night, the Bowmen refused to go without a fight. Their relentless defense didn't seem to be producing results in the third, and early part of the fourth quarters or play. Despite that, the Bowmen continued to believe in a victory, and as Glencoe's players began to tire, so did their desire to win. The ball wasn't bouncing Glencoe's way anymore, and the frustration showed in their players behavior. At one point, Glencoe player Robbie Unger, was incensed by an offensive foul that was called on him. Instead of gritting his teeth and bearing the ref's decision, he elected to argue his point with the official who in turn, awarded him with a technical foul for his efforts. As Unger went to the bench, he could only watch as his team's lead melted away. What's more is that this particular play occurred during a critical point in the game. The score was tied at 40 with just over 4 minutes to play, but as Unger brought the ball up the court, he used his off-arm to create space from the defender, and thus committed the foul. This meant Sherwood got the two technical free throws (which they made) and possession of the basketball (which they converted for 2 points) that resulted in a 4 point swing of the scoreboard, and a heavy turn of momentum in favor of the Bowmen. This was the defining moment of the game, and is the reason Sherwood will be continuing their season while Glencoe is looking towards next year.
This is normally the part of the recap where I say what Glencoe has to look forward to, but with Acker and Apeland graduating this summer, it looks like nothing but tough times ahead for the Crimson Tide.

Renton chamber signs final deal to buy new HQ building downtown
Three chamber officials, John Galluzzo, Jason Parker and Bill Taylor, signed the final paperwork on Monday for the $840,000 purchase of the historic train depot downtown from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Co.
An initial agreement was signed in November and since then the chamber and Burlington Northern have worked out the final details.
For years, the depot on Burnett Avenue was the home of the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train and the kitchen where catered meals were prepared for the Spirit of Washington Event Center, now the Renton Pavilion Event Center at the Piazza.
The move is "exciting," Taylor said Tuesday, but there is still a lot of work ahead, including repairs – replacing 11 broken windows – and new paint.
The chamber's 50-year lease with the City of Renton, which owns the airport, expired at the end of 2010. Since then, the chamber has scoured Renton for a new home, mostly in the downtown area.
"For 52 years, the chamber didn't need to concern itself about its home," Taylor said. "The main reason we wanted to buy and not lease is that so we could deliver to future chamber folks the same feelings."
The purchase includes two buildings, the main building and a second one that houses the kitchen. The chamber plans to sell that building and launch a major capital campaign to reduce the debt on the new chamber headquarters and visitors center.
When will the chamber move in?"
"When we're ready," Taylor said.
"There is so much to do," he said. "It's not in move-in condition."
Work has already begun on installing phones and data system and getting the heating and air-conditioning systems started. Taylor has met with representatives of Certified Folder Display Service Inc., which will supply for free the displays for brochures at the new visitors center.
The chamber and its guests will leave behind at the headquarters on Rainier Avenue the iconic view of Renton airport and the almost daily view of 737s making their maiden voyages.

When Christine Nielsen moved to New Orleans, the 26-year-old Delaware native fell in love with the city's Carnival pastries. "I lived in France for a year and love the French-style king cakes, but I had never encountered the Louisiana king cake," Nielsen said.
The young cook, who had previous baking experience, embraced the Carnival spirit and committed to teaching herself to making Louisiana king cakes.
"I thought the way to participate in the king cake culture and make a little extra money during Carnival would be to start my own business," Nielsen said.
The project proved harder than expected.
"I feel I finally have my recipe down, but it took me more than 100 king cakes to get right."
She began with a recipe from Emeril Lagasse and made modifications from there.
"I wanted to make a king cake that people wouldn't think was dry and disgusting. I like anything that is sweet and delicious, but I know a lot of people don't like them for being too dry," Nielsen said. The result is a cake that tastes like a European-style pastry, typically made with more butter and less sugar, than an American baked good, which is often more sugary.
Nielsen began selling her creations, uniquely marked with broad strips of colored icing, last year.
What are young bakers' greatest challenges? Controlling the yeast, in a time of year when weather is variable, and purple icing, she says.
"Purple is a really hard color to come out right on king cake. I never realized it was a thing, but I talked to other bakers and purple is just trouble," Nielsen said. "This year I am doing a lemon glaze and then painting it over with the pastry brush."
There is, of course, the final challenge of how to enjoy Mardi Gras season while baking its traditions.
"It took over my life last year," Nielsen said, explaining she made a time-consuming, 20-plus king cakes a week out of her home kitchen. This year she has decided to scale down operations and hit more parades. Her slices are still sold out of the Pizza Delicious kitchen.
Fellow Pizza Delicious entrepreneurs Greg Augarten and Michael Friedman were early supporters of Nielsen's endeavor.
"It is an obvious outlet to help Christine to sell things to an audience we already have," said Pizza Delicious co-owner Michael Friedman. "And they are actually good. I think most king cakes are disgusting, but I legitimately enjoy her king cakes."

Cockroach Stew
Pam Ellingson
I found this recipe for exterminating cockroaches on the internet. I have it saved in my "Occasional Odd Recipes" file on my computer which includes such recipes as Fungicide Recipes for the Garden, Tomato leaf juice to conquer Blackspot on roses, and Homemade Insect repellents.
As many as you have, I guess
1 Hr 5 Min
No-Cook or Other
- 1 clove
- garlic
- 1 small
- onion
- 1 Tbsp
- cayenne pepper
- 1 qt
- water, hot
Directions Step-By-Step
1In a large pot, let all the ingredients soak for one hour and then stir the solution. The recipe did not indicate if they were to be chopped or whole, so do what you want there.
2Place the pot on a countertop or on the floor before you go to bed. The roaches will smell and find the solution, ingest it and die
Just make sure you do not have pets around who might decide to try it. If you do, I would put a bowl of it under the cabinet or somewhere they could not get to it, or close off the room where it is.
3And you thought this was going to be a dish with veggies and cooked Cockroaches. LMAO
About this Recipe
Course/Dish: Other Non-Edibles

Mitt in the Mirror with Jimmy Fallon
Who knew Mitt Romney could be funny?
Who knew Mitt Romney could be funny?
Okay, it's Hump Day and I really need to let off a little steam. My brain isn't exactly working at maximum capacity, but here goes anyway – my attempt at mocking the totally predictable, knee-jerk reactionary dingbat response to President Obama's executive order immigration policy band-aid…
The songs have been playing in my head since last Tuesday's elections. The video merely helps fill in a very strange mental image. It is a great video though…🙄
If you're anything like me, then you're probably looking forward to the mid-term elections coming to an end tomorrow just as much as I am. I'm telling you, after months of negative or even downright crazy political ads, I'm thinking that the whole country might be in need of a good long shower – regardless of how the vote goes.
With that in mind, it occurs to me that a little bit of stress relief – by way of videos that I think capture the "spirit" of today's politics so well – might just be in order!😉
These thoughts were inspired in part by my friend Rosie's Facebook shares…
And I'll be damned if I don't see nails everywhere I look!😉
I simply haven't been able to get this song out of my head since fellow blogger Poietes posted it on Tuesday. I mean, seriously, is there a better testament to the state of our world today?

S. Park (NASA/GSFC, USRA)
The diffuse X-ray background emission (DXB) near the Galactic plane (l, b ~ 25.6o, 0.78o) is observed with ASCA. The observed region is toward a Galactic molecular cloud which is recently reported to cast a deep ``X-ray shadow'' in the Galactic DXB in the 0.5 - 2.0 keV band. The selection of this particular region is intended to provide a useful constraint for the spatial distribution of the DXB emission along the line of sight: i.e., the molecular cloud is optically thick at <2 keV that the bulk of the soft X-rays must originate in the foreground of the cloud which is at ~3 kpc from the Sun. In the 0.8 - 9.0 keV band, the observed spectrum is primarily from thermal plasmas and K emission lines from He-like Si and Fe ions are detected. The detailed nature of the spectrum is however complicated and most likely comprised of multiple components of hot thermal plasmas. The preliminary results from the GIS data imply the existence of a hot plasma (T > 106.9 K) within ~ 3 kpc from the Sun.

Once in a while, you can tell whether these guys are juiced to play a game.
This isn't one of those times.
Q. You haven't personally had a real shot at these guys yet.
Vince: (shrug).
Q. You got clobbered by 23 once against Boston, and were down 23 the other time. Your guys could say that your absence was a factor.
Vince: (shrug).
And so on.
Meanwhile, Kidd stayed in the trainer's room. Under the weather, they said. He has the sniffles, they said. No, he wasn't getting a shave, they said.
Jefferson sounded like a primary candidate who is 10 points behind in the polls, downplaying expectations.
"You could say that that they are the best team in the conference right now, probably the best team in the NBA," he says. "But again, if we win this we're not the best team, and if we lose this, things aren't over and done with. I don't think you really get quality games until the end of the season, when there's must-win situations or you're down three (in the standings) with seven games to go. Those are the games that really prove the type of team you are and the type of team you wanna be."
In other words, wake us in April.
The coach is upbeat, but that's par for the course.
"Look, they're the top team in the league," L-Frank chirped. "You can't sugarcoat it. Regardless if they've come off a loss, they've only lost four times. You look at the last couple of weeks -- this will be now the top team in the Eastern Conference, but we played Orlando, we played Detroit a couple of weeks ago. So it's a heck of a challenge, but at the same time it's a great opportunity."
The moment they awaken, maybe they'll seize it.
Otherwise, prepare for something painful.
Says who? Says him:
"We're definitely a much different team now," Josh Boone mused. "We're playing much better basketball. We're really running the floor, playing a lot better defense. Hopefully that's going to continue tonight, because if it doesn't, we're going to be in for a long night. That's just being honest. We don't play defense, it might be a loooong night."
You might have stumbled across that Doc Rivers remark the other day about how R. Jefferson leads the league in individual transition points - something about how an outside stat service tracks it. Sounds plausible. But L-Frank doesn't even know of such a thing, nor did he give it much credence.
"I think it's probably a subjective stat," he said.
This gets more intimidating by the week. Check out the Celtics' rankings:
Scoring defense - 1st (87.5 opg)
Field goal defense - 1st (.417)
3-point defense - 1st (.312)
Steals - 3rd (9.06 spg)
Def. rebound pct. - 2nd (.766)
Summary: Most teams would kill for just one week of those numbers. Either that, or these guys have just beamed in from 2002-03.
"They do a phenomenal job," L-Frank said. "One, they turn you over so they can create easy buckets that way. Two, they don't give up transition buckets. They're second in the league in (transition) points allowed. Three is, they're second in the league in fewest points in the paint allowed.
"So by creating easy ones, not giving up easy ones and protecting their paint, they're forcing you to shoot jumpers. Even though they're not a shot-blocking team (25th), they have really good length in their frontline players."
Oddball stat of the day: What do the Celtics and Nets have in common? They are the only two teams in the NBA that Jason Kidd has failed to record a triple-double against.
Of course, that doesn't count the '02 East finals, when he torched the C's for a T-D average in the six-game series.

cape cod residence
Architect: Karen Kempton
General Contractor: Watson Construction
Year: 2006
Scope of Work: Complete turnkey house
This 4,000 square foot home in a quiet, country-like setting was completed in less than six months using an accelerated building schedule. It incorporates a state-of-the-art Hydro-Air heating system and the kitchen showcases a custom 20' cathedral ceiling with exposed timber beams.
"When it was time to build our dream house on the Cape, Marc Watson and Watson Construction were highly recommended to us. We couldn't be more pleased. The work was completed on time and within budget. Additionally, Mark made several suggestions for architectural changes that were improvements to the original design. His crew was always courteous and responsive to my wife and I and the job site was always left in a safe and clean condition. As we enter our third year living in the house, we have not had a single problem and we credit a large part of that to Watson Construction."- The Homeowners

Want one or not, there's going to be a rematch. With every other team in the nation with a reasonable chance (sorry, Houston) of snatching a BCS championship game berth away from the Southeastern Conference's Dynamic Duo rising and falling like so many wannabe Republican presidential hopefuls, LSU and Alabama fans can make their plans to be at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Jan. 9 for Game of the Century 2.0.
Got any extra tickets?
To be sure, No. 12 Georgia can put a stain on top-ranked LSU's otherwise perfect season by beating the Tigers in the SEC championship game on Saturday in Atlanta.
But unless Tigers Coach Les Miles goes completely Mad Hatter and rests his starters like an NFL team with a playoff berth assured might do and gets run out of the Georgia Dome, the Tigers have built up enough credits to stay atop the final BCS standings when they're released Sunday.
Even with a lopsided loss, in reality from LSU's point of view, the game is about as relevant as a conference basketball tournament final is to a team with a No. 1 seed locked up.
There is a major reward for Georgia winning, however.
As SEC champions, the Bulldogs would gain the conferences' berth in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, assuming LSU and Alabama remain the top teams.
That would give the SEC an unprecedented three teams in BCS bowls.
Alabama's only concern is that there could be enough underground anti-rematch zealots willing to bump the Crimson Tide out of the No. 2 spot in the standings, especially if No. 3 Oklahoma State decisively defeats No. 10 Oklahoma on Saturday to give them a credible alternative.
But that would mean more than 2/3 of the voters in the USA Today coaches poll and the Harris Interactive poll changing their votes when at present the Cowboys are fifth in both of those polls behind Stanford and Virginia Tech, as well as LSU and Alabama.
In fact, Oklahoma State is three votes short of being a unanimous No. 5 in the Harris poll and two short in the coaches poll, meaning the voters would have to jump the Cowboys over two other teams besides the Crimson Tide.
Oklahoma State is No. 2 in the computer rankings, so the Cowboys wouldn't have to surpass Alabama in the polls to top the Crimson Tide in the standings -- and Virginia Tech could take itself out of the equation by losing to Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game, but still wholesale vote switching appears remote.
In part that's because none of those voters have publicly declared he would vote to avoid a rematch or stated that a team which doesn't win its conference championship doesn't belong in the title game.
And with the final votes being made public, the necessity to explain afterwards might prove to be a deterrent.
There are those (without votes) who are holding out hope for a poll revolt.
Los Angeles Times columnist Chris Dufresne urged voters to remember how in 2006 then-Florida coach Urban Meyer boosted his Gators over Michigan (another reason for Big Blue fans to hate him when he takes over at Ohio State) for the title game against the Buckeyes saying, "The other team had a shot."
BCS expert Jerry Palm of CBS Sports puts a different twist on the rematch angle by saying if anyone deserves one, it would be Georgia if the Bulldogs beat LSU.
"Georgia would have done something nobody else has done, which is to beat LSU," he said. "Georgia would be the SEC champion and on an 11 game winning streak. An LSU-Georgia rematch is more justifiable than LSU-Alabama."
The only problem with that is that Georgia is No. 14 in the BCS standings, and the voters are unlikely to boost the Bulldogs anywhere near to No. 2.
Palm added he believe LSU belongs in the title game win or lose against Georgia.
If the Bulldogs did win, it would shake up the at-large selection process.
The Fiesta Bowl would have first pick among the available teams and would probably go for Stanford, which, if its stays at No. 4, would have an automatic berth.
The Sugar Bowl, with the next pick, would almost certainly go for Houston, provided the unbeaten Cougars beat Southern Mississippi in the Conference USA championship game Saturday to garner the berth that goes to the highest-ranked champion from the five non-BCS conferences.
No. 18 Texas Christian could replace Southern Mississippi if the Eagles falter, but the Horned Frogs would have to move into the top 16 to be eligible.
The alternative would be the Big East champion -- West Virginia, Louisville or Cincinnati -- but Houston, featuring record-setting quarterback Case Keenum, would a no-brainer.
If it's TCU or the Big East champion, things might get stickier. And if no non-BCS team is available, the loser of the Oklahoma State-Oklahoma game or Kansas State would come into play.
An LSU victory against Georgia would leave the Sugar Bowl with the first pick among at-large teams, with Michigan the most-attractive candidate, even though at No. 16 in the standings the Wolverines would have to move up at least two spots to be eligible.
So it would help Michigan greatly if No, 13 Michigan State beats No. 15 Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game and especially if LSU beats Georgia because Stanford, the Big East champion and Houston would have the other available berths.
That means the Wolverines are pulling for the Spartans this week as well as LSU, whose coach, Michigan man Les Miles, has twice spurned his alma mater's advances to become the coach there.
Only in the BCS.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot writes on Cleveland.com that Trent Richardson has had a slow start to his rookie season.
It all started with a knee injury that caused him to miss all of training camp. Now sore ribs have slowed him down to the point where he sat the entire second half against the Indianapolis Colts.
So now coach Pat Shurmur has a decision to make: Should he sit T-Rich against San Diego and Baltimore, and let him rest through the bye week and come back against Dallas on Nov. 18?
Easy decision, right?
"You just watch him, watch him practice, see where he's at physically and if he's ready to play, he'll play," Shurmur said Monday. "If we see that this is bothering him to the point where he can't perform, then we'll make those decisions as we go. I just want to make the point though, that there was a lot going on out there. It wasn't just Trent."
Sure, it wasn't just T-Rich, who wore a flak jacket during Sunday's loss, but when it comes to getting him healthy, Shurmur should sit the rookie and allow him to heal. Reserve running back Montario Hardesty is not T-Rich, but running back by committee is in the team's best interest, compared to risking Richardson.It's not like T-Rich has been piling up the yards (his 348 rushing yards rank him 23rd in the league), so rest and preparing for the future is in the Browns' best interest instead of risking further injury in a playoff-less season.

It all started with Item 47. If you have not seen it yet, you are not missing anything, because it is pretty lousy. Basically, a couple named Benny and Claire run around the country robbing banks using Chitauri technology. The thing is, none of the Chitauri technology that SHIELD recovered worked. Benny was somehow able to repair the Chitauri gun, and because Claire convinces him to do so, he uses it to commit several crimes. Agent Sitwell tracks down the couple and takes the gun. Since bank robbers belong in jail, he surrenders the couple to the police.
Except, wait, no, he does not do that. He actually hires them! Benny starts to work for the SHIELD R & D think tank, and Claire becomes the assistant for Agent Blake. You may be wondering why SHIELD trusts these people. I have no idea. Benny might be a valuable asset, since he can help SHIELD reverse engineer Chitauri technology, but what can Claire possibly contribute to the organization? The only thing she does in Item 47 is act as a bad influence on Benny. Throughout the short film, it appears that the couple only cares about money. How exactly does Sitwell know they will not rob SHIELD?
You might say that this was just an isolated incident. Sitwell was just acting foolish, surely this is not something SHIELD does on a regular basis! I would like you to recall the pilot for Agents of SHIELD. There was a certain girl names Skye, and she worked for the Rising Tide. She found a way to hack into SHIELD's databases. Seeing as they are a multi-billion dollar company, SHIELD updates their security software, in order to stop hackers. No, wait, that is far too rational. Instead, Agent Coulson and Agent Ward find Skye, and recruit her.
What exactly makes Skye so special? I really do not know. Sure, she is certainly a gifted hacker, perhaps one of the best in the world, but surely there are hackers that SHIELD could recruit that are not plotting their destruction? In episode 12 of Agents of SHIELD, we learned that Skye was a very important baby, and many people died protecting her. However, Agent Coulson and Agent May did not know that until recently (despite previous episodes implying that they did). Why do they trust Skye? They learn she is a saboteur in episode 5, but for some reason, they keep her around, despite having absolutely no reason to trust her. The only punishment they give Skye is a bracelet that restricts her online activity, and shockingly, she manages to hack into secured SHIELD files once again two episodes later.
In the pilot of Agents of SHIELD, we are introduced to another new character, Mike Peterson. He was a test subject for Centipede, meaning that he has both Extremis powers and the super soldier serum. Unfortunately, this combination drives him insane, and he tries to kill his former boss, before nearly blowing up in the middle of a crowded train station. Coulson and his team manage to subdue him, and even manage to suppress his powers. So now, they send him to jail, which is where violent criminals belong, right?
Nope! Once again, SHIELD recruits a former enemy. Of course, Mike is a super soldier, and it appears that SHIELD has found a way to suppress his ability to spontaneously combust, so it kind of makes sense that they chose to add him to their roster. You might even say it was not his fault that he went insane, since the Extremis was messing with his brain. On the other hand, how do the people at SHIELD know that Mike will not have another psychotic episode? After all, they found a way to suppress his powers, but that does not mean they found a way to mentally stabilize him. Later in the series, Mike becomes Deathlok. This is not his fault, as he is being controlled by outside forces, but it seems like quite a coincidence that a former criminal working for SHIELD has returned to being a criminal.
Even when SHIELD are not actively hiring their enemies, they are giving people within their own ranks a slap on the hand for heinous crimes. In episode 12 of Agents of SHIELD, Donnie Gill creates a storm machine, and then uses to make a massive storm. He is a student at one of SHIELD's universities, and he makes the storm on campus, endangering hundreds of students. His reason for starting this storm? To attract the attention of Ian Quinn, a known enemy of SHIELD. As punishment for this offense, he is relocated, so that SHIELD personnel can keep an eye on him.
I am sorry, but I am pretty sure he should be be expelled or fired, and probably put in prison. Why would they want this guy to continue to work for their organization?
You could try to claim that SHIELD only became stupid after The Avengers. Way back in phase 1, the super-spy organization knew what they were doing. If you really think that, then you probably do not recall a certain god of thunder.
Do you remember how Thor first met Agent Coulson? Coulson was interrogating Thor after the Asgardian had just beaten up at least a dozen SHIELD agents. Does Coulson attempt to press charges against Thor for assaulting his troops? No, he lets him go, because he somehow believes that Thor is a fitness nut on steroids. At least, that is what Selvig tells him.
This happens again in The Avengers. The first thing Thor does upon his arrival to earth is kidnap the being whom SHIELD considers to be the most dangerous man in the world. Then he gets into a petty squabble with Iron Man (to be fair, Tony actually started that fight), and tries to kill Captain America. Remember, Thor has no idea who Cap is. He does not know Cap is a super soldier, or that he has an indestructible shield.
Let me see, if an alien with homicidal rage issues comes to this planet, and tries to rescue the most dangerous man in the world, I do not think I would be particularly trusting toward this fellow, especially if he claims to be the most dangerous man's brother. Of course, SHIELD and the Avengers immediately trust him, because they love nothing more than a person who likes to beat up members of both of their respective organizations.
Am I being too hard on these people? Is it possible Benny, Claire, Skye, Mike Peterson, and Thor are all good people, just misunderstood? Should I stop being so judgemental, and become more like SHIELD? Should I go to maximum security prisons in an attempt to find a new best friend?
The truth is, I do not think it matters if these people are trustworthy or not. The point is that SHIELD is far too trusting with their former enemies, and eventually that is going to hurt them. Do you want some evidence? Consider Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I have not seen it yet, so I will not give away any spoilers (and please do not give any away in the comment section). I can only judge based on what is in the trailers, and it appears that Captain America and Falcon will be fighting helicarriers. It also appears that both Cap and Black Widow are fighting regular SHIELD agents. Heck, we know that Crossbones will be working for SHIELD, at least in the beginning of the movie.
What does this point to? Well, I am guessing that Cap, Widow and Falcon have not suddenly lost their minds and decided to kill their co-workers. Far more likely, there is corruption among SHIELD's ranks. It is not hard to believe that an organization that regularly employs former criminals is filled to the brim with corruption.
What can SHIELD do to reverse this epidemic? They can become far less trusting. Seeing as they are a spy agency, they need to be using bugs, not hugs. Do you remember, in The Avengers, when Black Widow mentions that SHIELD monitors all potential threats? SHIELD needs to broaden their definition of a "potential threat". SHIELD needs to stop being so accepting of people, and get back to spying on people. After all, they are a world-wide peace keeping force, not a friendship club.
Do you agree? Disagree? Do you think SHIELD should be a friendship club? Let me know in the comments!

The Jefferson County sheriff's office will deploy 17 deputies to Louisiana for hurricane relief support.
The deputies, drawn from all of the divisions to keep from stretching any one unit too thin, are expected to be on the ground in Gonzales, La., on Wednesday.
They will take with them enough food, supplies and fuel to be self-contained for five days, said sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Randy Christian.
Sheriff's officials will deploy the Mobile Command Center and any Homeland Security Equipment that is needed. Star 1 helicopter will be on standby, also if needed.
"It is our understanding this area has massive power outages," Christian said, "and looting is a concern."
Any costs will be reimbursed by FEMA, Christian said.
The sheriff's office previously has responded with aide to both Louisiana and Florida following storms.
"When a sheriff from another area calls for help we will respond," Sheriff Mike Hale said. "We have mutual aide agreements and the people here in Jefferson County will appreciate that if we ever had a local disaster, sheriffs around the country will respond here to assist. It is the time to help our neighbors."

Results tagged ' Ryan Church '
Braves may have made all their significant moves
Braves general manager Frank Wren has never been accused of being a procrastinator and with the trade deadline resting a little more than a week away, there's a chance that he's already made all of his significant deals.
This line of thinking could be altered if the Braves were to struggle during this week's four-game series against the Giants. But at the same time, this belief could be strengthened if they were to claim at least three of these four games against the National League Wild Card leaders.
Having won 12 of their past 18 games, the Braves entered Monday night's series opener trailing the Giants by 4 ˝ games. Seeing how the Phillies have become immune to losing since they were swept out of Turner Field earlier this month, the Wild Card race has become much more intriguing from a Braves perspective.
There's no doubt that the Braves could benefit from another power bat and another veteran reliever. But as the season's second half enters its first full week, it's apparent that the makeup of their roster is much stronger than it was a month ago.
"We like our club the way that we're situated right now," Braves general manager Frank Wren said. "We like the balance we have in our lineup. We've liked our pitching really from the beginning. I think we're observing and if there are ways to improve, I think we'll at least look at them. But right now we like our club."
Wren improved two of his three outfield spots with the trades that brought Nate McLouth and Ryan Church to Atlanta. The left field position has been improved as Garret Anderson has provided the offensive consistency that negates some of the defensive deficiencies that come courtesy of his suspect range.
This month, the Braves lead the National League with a .292 batting average and rank second in both on-base percentage (.366) and runs (84).
Yes, the Braves are just five of 16 NL teams to have played 16 games so far. But the 5.25 runs they've score per game this month, look a whole lot better than the 3.57 runs per game that they scored in June. In April they scored an average of 4.04 runs per game and in May they improved that mark to 4.66.
"Up and down our lineup, I think we're getting more quality at-bats, which we think will translate into more runs and more wins," Wren said. "(Offense) has been the area that has held us back."
If the Braves truly believe they are in the thick of the postseason race, they'll likely look to keep Javier Vazquez, Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez. As Type A free agents, Soriano and Gonzalez will only be moved for a significant return.
Of course if they were to fall out of the race, the Braves could utilize each of these hurlers to help them begin building for the 2010 season and beyond.
While Vazquez could be moved to provide the financial flexibility to gain another bat for the season's final two months, the Braves are providing more indication that they'd like to keep the impressive right-hander around throughout the remainder of this season and possibly beyond.
But it doesn't appear that they will have the financial resources that would allow them to keep both Vazquez and Tim Hudson around for the 2010 season. Coming back from Tommy John surgery, Hudson won't rejoin the Atlanta rotation before Aug. 25.
If the Braves continue to win, the most likely candidate that they'd move before the trade deadline would be Kelly Johnson. But as they found while attempting to deal Jeff Francoeur, there aren't a lot of clubs lining up to acquire Johnson's services.
Johnson's Minor League rehab assignment expires on Saturday. So sometime within the next week, the Braves will have to trade him, place him back on the big league roster, or activate him from the disabled list with the intention of optioning him back to Triple-A Gwinnett's roster.
With Martin Prado manning the everyday role at second base and Omar Infante just a couple weeks away from being activated from the disabled list, there is limited need for Johnson in Atlanta.
Since becoming an everyday member of the lineup on June 30, Prado has hit .400 with two homers, a .458 on-base percentage and a .759 slugging percentage. The Braves have won 11 of the 17 games played during that span.
"There's a certain chemistry and feeling that every team has and when you feel like you've reached that right balance, you are a little hesitant to make a change," Wren said. "I know the guys on this club feel good about this team right now and that's a positive. That doesn't stop you from inquiring and seeing if there are other things that you can do. But we've done quite a bit already."
Mets answered Braves prayers with Church
When I get to the ballpark today, I'm going to have to do a lot of explaining to Chipper Jones.
Somewhere over the course of the past couple weeks or even within the past 24 hours, I'm pretty sure that I bet his ranch on the belief that the Braves wouldn't be able to trade Jeff Francoeur for anything more than a mid-level prospect.
Given what I'd gathered from the Braves over the previous few weeks, they shared this same thought up until Wednesday, when Mets general manager Omar Minaya provided an offer that immediately made him a candidate for a playoff share if the Braves turn things around and compete in this year's postseason.
Seriously when I first heard that the Braves had acquired Ryan Church in exchange for Francoeur, I think I squinted like Arnold Drummond used to do before uttering, "What you talking about Willis?"
I had essentially resigned myself to the belief that December would arrive and the Braves would gain nothing in return when they non-tendered Francoeur.
But now instead of going through this season's second half waiting for a man once recognized as "Their Future" to regain the promise he'd shown in The Past, they've actually traded him for somebody who will strengthen their right field position.
Like most every other Major League outfielder, Church doesn't possess Francoeur's arm. But now that we have that out of the way, it's pretty hard to find any other aspect of the game where Francoeur proves to be superior to Church.
What concerns me the most about Church is the fact that he's hit just .264 with five homers and a .686 OPS in the 115 games that he's played since being concussed by Yunel Escobar's knee last year.
But those numbers look pretty similar to the ones produced by Francoeur, who has hit .259 with six homers and a .661 OPS over the course of his past 115 games.
Just two days ago, we were baffled by Bobby Cox's decision to once again start Francoeur instead of Matt Diaz. Now with the left-handed Church, the Braves have the perfect platoon compliment for Diaz in right field.
Dating back to the beginning of the 2007 season, Church has hit .291 with 25 homers and an .831 OPS against right-handed pitchers. In 272 at-bats against left-handers during this span, he has hit .232 with five homers and a .640 OPS.
With Diaz hitting .365 and a .935 OPS against left-handed pitchers this year, the Braves don't have to worry about the fact that Church struggles against southpaws.
While Church's numbers against lefties might be alarming, they don't look much different than the ones compiled on an everyday basis this year by Francoeur, who in his past 272 at-bats has hit .246 with four homers and a .614 OPS.
The Mets didn't do Church any favors by quickly rushing him back to the lineup on two separate occasions after he suffered the concussion last year and they didn't provide any of their hitters an advantage with the dimensions that are present at Citi Field.
During the 32 games he's played at Citi Field this year, Church has hit .216 with a .576 OPS. In 35 road games, he has hit .326 with an .804 OPS.
Throw in the fact that Mets manager Jerry Manuel didn't seem to like him and it was obvious that it was in Church's best interests to escape New York.
And there was no doubt that it was time for Francoeur to realize a change of scenery. While he's still the same likeable kid that we've known since he debuted in 2005, the past two years have proven that he's not the quality player some might have envisioned when he hit .276 with 53 homers and a .777 OPS through the first 321`games of his career.
In the 310 games that have followed, he has hit .256, with 25 homers and a .685 OPS.
With the pressures of living up to the expectations of being the hometown hero that he was during his high school days, Francoeur constantly tried to change his approach and in the process, he seemingly lost his identity.
Whether Francoeur is able to turn things around in New York remains to be seen. But there's no doubt the Braves made themselves better yesterday when they were miraculously found somebody willing to provide the piece that significantly upgrades their right field position.
Francoeur trade reaction
After posting that original blog entry with tonight's lineup, I went to the dugout to talk to Bobby Cox, who quickly explained the Tommy Hanson situation and then got the call from Frank Wren.
Moments later, Cox grabbed Chino Cadahia and both immediately headed toward the clubhouse to inform Jeff Francoeur that he'd been traded.
Just like that, Francoeur went from being one of the most scrutinized players on this blog to being a member of the Mets outfield.
To recap the trade, the Braves sent Francoeur and cash considerations to the Mets in exchange for Ryan Church. The specifics of the cash consideration weren't revealed. But it was probably something in the neighborhood of $250,000 — which would account for the differences in their salaries.
I've got to add to the main story on the site. But in short, I think this is a trade that has the potential to benefit both players.
Church seemed to fall out of favor with the Mets and while Francoeur was one of the most likable players in the Braves clubhouse, his performance had put him in a position where he was likely going to be non-tendered if he remained in Atlanta until the conclusion of this season.
I would have to say that Jeff Francoeur was one of the better human beings that I've ever come across in this business. Obviously, there have been times that he's been furious with things that I've written and consequently chosen to give me the silent treatment for a while.
But over the past six weeks, I saw the 25-year-old outfielder truly mature and accept the fact that baseball is a tough business. I wish him nothing but the best and when the Mets visit Turner Field next week, I hope the fans show him how much they appreciated the dedication and determination he displayed throughout his 4 1/2 seasons in Atlanta.
There was certainly reason to criticize his game. But in the midst of all of his struggles, Francoeur never lost his desire to give everything he had every day that he came to work.

MOBILE, Alabama -- On the heels of winning what head coach Joey Jones (and many others) have termed the biggest game in the young program's history, South Alabama travels to Tennessee in hopes of rendering that designation no longer accurate.
A win at Tennessee would obviously be a huge victory for the Jaguars, who carry a two-game win streak to Knoxville. The Volunteers are 2-2 but have lost their past two games at No. 2 Oregon and at No. 20 Florida. With Georgia and South Carolina set to visit Knoxville for the Vols' next two games, the game against South Alabama had become a big one for Tennessee.
Evan Woodbery, Tennessee beat writer for the Knoxville News Sentinel (and a former Auburn beat writer for AL.com), answers five questions posed him to him about Saturday's game. You can follow him on Twitter @TennesseeBeat. Here are his responses:
Q: Considering the Vols' two-game losing streak, would you describe this game as a must-win situation for Tennessee?
A: Butch Jones was asked that very question this week. He replied in the way you would expect a coach to respond: Every game is a must-win game. But the truth is that Tennessee was expected to lose to Oregon and Florida, and those losses didn't affect the team's quest for six wins and bowl eligibility. A loss to South Alabama would have devastating consequences for the Vols' aspirations of returning to a bowl after a two-year absence.
The margin for error this year is slim. A letdown in a game that -- on paper -- the Vols are expected to win would be tough to overcome.
Q: What are the strengths' of this Tennessee team and how might the Vols take advantage of those strengths against South Alabama?
A: The offensive line is the most experienced and talented unit on the team, and that's one area in which BCS teams often have advantages over non-BCS teams anyway. So you could certainly see the Vols lean on the line and the running game on Saturday. Of course, developing some traction in the passing game is important, too if Tennessee wants to keep USA's defense honest. Tennessee's two running backs -- Rajion Neal and Marlin Lane -- probably don't get the credit they deserve because of Tennessee's lack of success in recent years. But many teams would love to have an experienced one-two punch like that in the backfield.
Q: Neyland Stadium seats more than 102,000 fans. How many are you expecting for Saturday's game and what type of environment do you believe they will create for Saturday morning's game?
A: Well, it will be afternoon (12:21 p.m. EDT) in Tennessee, but those early kickoffs are always a challenge. As of Wednesday, about 84,000 tickets had been sold, but that could climb a bit throughout the week. I've written a lot about attendance issues, and it truly is a national issue that goes far beyond college football. But UT's huge capacity is both a blessing and a curse. It makes for a great atmosphere in big rivalry games, but it can be tough to fill for non-conference opponents.
Butch Jones has been very active in trying to boost attendance, particularly among students.
Q: Which of these two statements is more true in your opinion: A South Alabama loss would be a great boost for the Jags' program? Or a Tennessee loss would be a devastating blow for the Vols' program?
A: I really didn't read the questions in advance, so it's entirely coincidental that I used the term "devastating" in the first question. To say it would be a devastating blow to the program might be a bit harsh, but it would certainly be a blow to this season.
The difference between 5-7 and 6-6 might not seem like much, but for a program that needs momentum, just getting to a bowl game would be progress. It would be a sign that Jones could show to fans (and especially recruits) that things are getting better. If the Vols lose to South Alabama, they'd have to steal a win as a heavy underdog in October or be perfect in November to reach a bowl.
Q: What do you see as the keys to Saturday's game and will this be, as some have predicted, an easy win for the Vols?
A: To answer the second part first, no, absolutely not. I'd be just as surprised by a Tennessee blowout as I would be a Tennessee loss. I think this game will be relatively close.
The biggest key for Tennessee is to get quarterback Justin Worley back to the efficient, confident game manager that they know he can be. After last week's quarterback disaster, a quarterback who is boringly efficient and doesn't make mistakes sounds pretty good. If Worley can make the routine throws and receivers can make the routine catches (two things that have happened inconsistently or not at all in 2013) the Vols should win this game.

By Marie Berberea, Fort SillOctober 6, 2011
FORT SILL, Okla. -- Running Amok is exactly what I did Saturday ... My plans of taking on the obstacle course also ran amok, as I fell over a wall of hay and fell out of my kayak into the lake. What can you do? Clumsiness should always be accounted for.
The first Run Amok event took place at Lake Elmer Thomas Recreation Area and with a healthy turnout of participants I was more than excited to find out what was in store. I should have known by the smile on event coordinator Cara Bell's face that it would be interesting, to say the least.
My team of five was in the first heat. We traipsed the course straight into the first obstacle: tires. I put on my best "I've watched ESPN training day" face and performed some quality high knee maneuvers.
So far, so good.
We took a curve and continued on to the second obstacle: hay jumps. With different levels of hay stacked on itself, I clumsily climbed over the first two mounts. The third was a much higher stack, about chin level, and my neighbor and I tried to attack at the same time. I was on top of the hay when it came crashing down and my hip bore the brunt of the fall. (That's what bones are for.) I picked myself up, along with my pride and continued on.
Our team stealthily made it over some rocks, across a bridge rested on treacherous gooey lake remnants and up ladders. Then came my arch-nemeses. The one-man kayak.
We were warned about a boat portion, and Bell said the life vest was a must. So when we came upon single-person kayaks we were a little wary. Nevertheless we each hopped in and started to paddle out to our point in the lake. I paddled to the left. Good. I paddled to the right. Not so good.
Now I've been called a bad driver (mainly by my husband), but when I maneuvered the right end of my oar, my kayak took an extreme turn to the right. I was a little dumbfounded as my straight path was more of a zipper.
I eventually made it past the second buoy to turn back to shore when it happened. I daftly maneuvered into an oncoming kayaker, apologized, and tried to turn around. It was then that I took a pleasant swim on purpose, of course.
My kayak was still at my side when James Holliver put into principle the Run Amok code of teamwork. He held my kayak while I pulled myself and an onslaught of water inside. As I was slowly taking in more water, I pulled a Titanic and went down with my ship. My neighbor, Dan, also aided in bringing me back to shore but I felt like too much of a burden. So, I put some lap training into use as I slowly … made it back to the rest of my team.
I believed that I helped boost the morale for everyone including my friend, Tasha who I'm sure was saying 'bless her heart' so I considered the kayak obstacle a success as we went to the mud pit.
The guys jumped right in as the ladies got in a little less enthusiastically. We low crawled to our hearts content and ran straight for a tunnel and some over, under table obstacles.
United as one, my team jogged to the not-so-tight ropes and made our way to the home stretch. Let me just say that I've always wanted to put mall-walking into good use as we turned the corners of what can only be described as a check out line. We were told we were not allowed to run through it but as soon as we got out we were supposed to sprint. That's exactly what we did.
I'm not sure exactly how we would place in the event if there were such things as ranking in Run Amok, but I'm positive we would do it again.

Giants beat Sedro for district title
"The South Whidbey Giants fastpitch team has won the District 11 Major Little League championship for the 11- to 12-year-old girls division.The championship game was played July 14 in Burlington against Sedro-Woolley. Both teams entered the game with only one loss in tournament play. But the showdown wasn't even close -- South Whidbey won 10-3 behind the pitching of Caitie Newman who threw to catcher Robyn Vandervort.The victory sent the South Whidbey squad to the state tournament which is in progress this weekend.The girls playing for the Giants went undefeated in Whidbey Island League play during the year, which began in April and ends with the state tournament. They and the other South Whidbey team combined forces for the all-star round of tournament play. Team members are Jenna Dunsmore, Katherine East, Lacey Greene, Sara Hicks, Silver Keck, Caitlyn Kalal, Marcella Litwiller, Anna Miller, Caitie Newman, Amellia Pernell and Robyn Vandervort.In district play, the South Whidbey girls, managed by Lance Dunsmore and coached by Jim Adsley, won their opener 13-3 against South Skagit. They beat Burlington 18-7, then nipped the North Whidbey All Stars 6-5. A 6-7 loss to Sedro-Woolley sent those two teams into the title match.Due to vacation schedules, the South Whidbey Giants opened the district tournament with only nine players, which grew to 11 later on. These young ladies truly learned the value of collective perseverance and teamwork, said coach Adsley. Five of the players spent the early part of this week at baseball clinics, but the team was back together for the state tournament opener."

Hi Dave, I have no experience on 160m and really little on 80m so I will not talk about low bands. However, during the last two years I have been actively chasing DX and trying to learn the propagation from Viet-Nam my experience follows what you tell. It is not always as pronounced as last week-end and I am not always able to be on the air during the morning and the next evening, but my feeling is that it is hard to have good condx to both directions. This morning (02.00utc) condx were average on 15m but I managed to have QSO with several stateside stations. This afternoon (09.00utc), condx were also average on 12m but I had several EU stations (not far to the west however). I managed to have QSO with both areas but neither one was with good condx. Thanks for sharing your experience. 73, Yan. > Yan, > > On Guam, I am equally distant from the East Coast of North America and > Western Europe.

It appears the Commander-in-Chief has also suspended the UCMJ along with welfare reform and illegal immigration laws to advance his agenda. That being the Code that curtails the civil rights of military members and ensures their loyalty to the office of the President, it might be wise to re-think that.
Prior to 1985 it was not illegal to court martial military members (US Navy anyway) with beards. Not positive but pretty sure that there isn't any law against firing squads carrying out a death sentence order against the bearded.
