Chuck Dixon carves his place in 'G.I. Joe' history
If Larry Hama is the father of the G.I. Joe franchise that began in the 1980s, then Chuck Dixon is the really cool uncle.
Dixon has been writing the flagship G.I. Joe series since IDW Publishing took over the license in 2008, utilizing the characters his mentor popularized nearly 30 years ago. With its current Cobra Civil War event, IDW is relaunching the franchise with three books with No. 1 issues, including two written by Dixon: G.I. Joe and Snake Eyes, the fan-favorite ninja's first ongoing series. (Cobra is written by another Joe veteran, Mike Costa.)
The G.I. Joe team — including mainstays Duke, Scarlett and Snake Eyes — are in the fight of their lives when they're targeted by the Cobra organization during its contest to find the next Cobra Commander. (The previous one was killed by undercover Joe team member, Chuckles.)
In stores Wednesday, G.I. Joe issue 1 introduces the Cobra candidates vying for the title — including the villainous Baroness, arms dealer Destro, mercenary Major Bludd and the bloodthirsty Krake, among other baddies. And in Snake Eyes issue 1, out later this month, Dixon gives the silent commando a way to star in his own book and not take away from all the other characters.
"Everybody who's a comics fan who's also a G.I. Joe fan talks about him like, oh, he's the Wolverine of G.I. Joe — which is a fine enough metaphor," G.I. Joe editor Andy Schmidt says of Snake Eyes. "And then Wolverine's in five books a month and Snake Eyes is in Joe. We just never wanted him to take center stage for any longer than maybe an issue.
"The biggest obstacle that Chuck immediately brought up as the writer is the guy doesn't talk. I was like, 'Well, Chuck, you should love that. It's an easier paycheck right?' "
"Yeah, it's so much easier to write them doing things," Dixon adds. "I get complaints anyway that I tend to be somewhat succinct and brief in my dialogue, and I went, 'Now I've got a character who doesn't talk at all!' The challenge was to come up with a supporting cast — a reason for him to have his own book, something that drives him aside from being just another Joe."
As Dixon did when he penned a Robin miniseries and then a monthly for DC Comics in the 1990s, he wanted to build a group of people around Snake Eyes who he could rely on. He had started compiling them long before Cobra Civil War knowing Snake Eyes would have his own series eventually, and that's when Dixon utilized the female covert-ops agent Helix, who's also a master of martial arts.
"The fact that she's a functioning autistic is what fascinates me, and it makes her the perfect partner for Snake Eyes," Dixon says. "She can read him, and other people can't. She's in the first arc, and she's not in the second one, but then she shows up again following that. They're not going to be Batman and Robin, but if he's going on something where he knows he's going to have his back against the wall, he's going to want her to come along. Plus, it's great because it causes tension with Scarlett."
Since signing on to G.I. Joe for IDW, he has created a couple of Joes — and even has one in his mind he hasn't told Schmidt about yet. "There's a character they've always needed that they don't have. I'm jazzed about putting him in there."
But mostly he has taken the Joes Hama perfected in the '80s and inserted them into modern stories for fans new and old.
"I've really gotten into Iceberg and Alpine, which I really never thought I would," Dixon says, laughing. "But sometimes characters just take on a life of their own, and these guys have got some great scenes together and some follow-up stuff after that.
"Larry created such great personalities for them, I'm not really varying a whole lot from what he does," he adds. "I don't break what he's established. I'm able to take advantage of the fact that these are already established, so I can go back and pull out the coolest stuff."
Dixon says it was Hama who gave him his first break at Marvel Comics in the mid-1980s. He hired Dixon to write stories for The Sword of Conan, and he in turn would watch Hama do his G.I. Joe series.
"I'm there watching all the fun he's having, and I'm like, 'Oh man, that book looks like a blast to write.' But of course it was 100% Larry then, and nobody's going to horn in on that," Dixon says. "When I got the offer from IDW, I was like, 'Yeah, absolutely.' A military fantasy book with lots of shootouts and interesting characters, who could say no to that?"
One perk that Hama received that Dixon hasn't yet? Lots and lots of toys.
"I remember visiting Marvel, and Larry would get cases of HISS tanks," Dixon recalls. "All that was missing was the Christmas tree. He'd be sitting on the floor opening boxes of toys and giggling like a madman."
Schmidt, who has also worked with Hama on G.I. Joe: Origins, says Dixon is simply "genetically engineered" to write G.I. Joe comics.
"He brings a level of professionalism and consistency that I think is hard to find on most other comic books, even the ongoing series comic books. He's a guy who's willing to do the research and in most cases seems happy to do the research. Even if he's not an expert on something, by the time I get the script he pretty much is."
There's only one kind of affirmation that Dixon needs, though. He lives in Tampa, near MacDill Air Force Base— where U.S. Central Command is headquartered and running the war on terror — and remembers one time doing a signing at a store near the base. A whole group of soldiers showed up just to see him and get their G.I. Joe comics signed.
"The one guy, he was a colonel with special operations and he told me how all of the guys have my comics and the action figures in their offices," Dixon says. "It was like a keep-up-the-good-work kind of thing.
"That's all I need. If those guys are happy, I've more than done my job."

"Elegantly composed, gracefully plotted and full of humor."—Los Angeles Times

"Mitchell deftly sketches each character to such a compelling extent that you become totally immersed. . . . His nine characters and their random but fateful interactions provide a playful, suspenseful foray into our ever-shrinking world."—Entertainment Weekly
"An intricately assembled Fabergé egg of a novel, full of sly and sometimes beautiful surprises. . . . In an era in which much literary fiction is characterized by unearned ironies and glib cynicism, it's hard not to be impressed by the humanism that animates Mitchell's book."—New York

The impact of Kenny Dalglish's return to Liverpool has yet to have any effect on results, but the dressing room is full of talk about improved form and better morale despite a run of two defeats and a draw since the decision to remove Roy Hodgson as manager.
Liverpool's parent company had hoped that the appointment of Dalglish would somehow galvanise an instant recovery of confidence, pride and belief, but the evidence of the first three games of his second coming suggest it will take more time.
The improvement, however, has been undeniable, not least from striker Fernando Torres who scored against Blackpool and looked far more threatening in the 2-2 draw in the Merseyside derby against Everton on Sunday.
"We are playing better. The most important thing is getting results but if we keep playing like that they will come soon. We are disappointed with the result but we are improving and moving in the right direction. We will see what happens in the next game. We need to start picking up three points in every game," the Spaniard said.
Dirk Kuyt said the players fully respect Dalglish for what he achieved as a player and manager at the club, and that he has made Anfield a happier place already.
Kuyt said: "I do not want to be disrespectful to Hodgson because he gave everything he could. He wanted to play in a certain way, but if you put every manager next to each other, they all have their own training sessions, their own tactics, their own way of playing.
"If you see in the last three games we are playing 4-3-3 and with Hodgson it was 4-4-2 and you listen to the manager and make the best of it. He gave everything for the club to do his best and it is shame it did not work out. The way we play [now] is very enjoyable – especially in the first half against Everton, but it was a bit of a shame we did not score more goals.
"Dalglish is one of the most important players and managers for Liverpool and you only have to listen to the crowd to see how important he is for the club, and that's the same for the players."
Kuyt admitted Liverpool's dismal form this season – they are 13th in the Premier League and four points above the relegation zone – has been personally disappointing following the high he enjoyed in the summer representing the Netherlands in the World Cup.
"Six months ago, I was playing in a World Cup final. Last week, I had my second defeat of the season to Blackpool," he said. "That's not something that should have happened, because we are better than that. I am better than that and the team is. We all know we have to perform better and the team has to perform better."
Liverpool winger Ryan Babel has been fined £10,000 and warned about his future conduct by the Football Association after posting a picture on Twitter of referee Howard Webb in a Manchester United shirt.
Everton are facing up to life without Steven Pienaar, and Tim Howard admitted how much he would be missed.
Howard said: "He [Pienaar] has been our engine for the last couple of years. There is no hiding from that. He has been our star player but my feeling, having been at this club for so long, is that we just get on with it. The manager is really shrewd. He's found [Mikel] Arteta, [Tim] Cahill, Pienaar. There will be another. That's the way it is."

Universities and colleges set their own admission requirements for higher education courses, so they vary broadly. Depending on the course, graduate student may be able to get into higher education with a range of qualifications. If you're applying to do a Foundation Degree course, you may find that work experience is taken into consideration alongside any qualifications you have. Some higher education institutes and colleges offer Foundation Years as preparation for a certain degree courses. They usually don't result in separate criteria as they simply qualify you to enter the degree program itself. Foundation Years aren't within reach for all degree courses, however.

FRB Governor Daniel K. Tarullo made a provocative presentation concerning bank corporate governance and prudential regulation to corporate and financial law professors and other attendees at the Midyear Meeting of the Association of American Law Schools.
In his presentation, Governor Tarullo pointed out that the recent financial crisis provided support for the proposition that banks require both enhanced microprudential level (regulation at the individual bank level e.g., increased capital and liquidity requirements) and microprudential regulation (regulation designed to protect the U.S. economy as a whole and avoid a harmful contraction of credit in a significant geographic region or to an industry sector). Because management of risk is central to the activities of banks, stated Governor Tarullo, we need to consider ways in which prudential regulation does and should influence bank risk-taking decision-making. One example of a step already taken to influence risk management by banks is the Dodd-Frank Act's requirement that bank holding companies with more than $10 billion in total assets establish a risk management committee comprised of independent directors.
Governor Tarullo next discussed three kinds of regulatory and supervisory measures that he believes can better align bank corporate governance with prudential regulation.
Changing Compensation Incentives for Senior Executives
Governor Tarullo observed that stock option and other equity-based compensation arrangements for senior managers do a good job of aligning the executives' interests with those of diversified shareholders "who value the upside of risk-taking and whose limited liability makes them relatively less concerned with catastrophic downside possibilities." However, regulatory objectives are focused on avoiding the catastrophic downside risk and preservation of the bank. Ways of realigning these incentives noted Governor Tarullo include: (1) having a bank's return on debt as well as return on equity reflected in incentive compensation calculations, and (2) making a significant portion of incentive compensation deferred and subject to clawback and forfeiture. In addition, stated Governor Tarullo, incentive realignment can be addressed by increasing capital market discipline through imposition of a requirement that a banking organization maintain specified minimum amounts of long-term debt that would be converted to equity upon the insolvency of the banking organization. Governor Tarullo stated that requiring establishment of this class of convertible debt would indirectly influence a bank's corporate governance because senior managers of the institution would need to understand, monitor and address the concerns of a new constituency, those of at-risk debt holders.
Requirements for Stress Testing and Capital Planning That Help to Regulate Risk-Taking Decisions
Governor Tarullo pointed out that it would be very difficult for bank supervisors to develop a rule that would require a bank to implement a risk appetite plan that matched regulatory objectives. However, bank supervisory programs that require a bank to conduct stress tests and develop and implement a capital plan "serve as partial surrogates for such a rule." Stress tests allow bank regulators to evaluate at an early stage whether a bank's risk-taking is consistent with the bank supervisor's microprudential and macroprudential objectives.
Enhanced Board Oversight of Risk Management and Potential Change in Fiduciary Duties of Bank Directors
In discussing actions that have the effect of improving the risk assessment and risk management capacity of bank boards of directors, Governor Tarullo noted efforts to enhance management information systems that improve the quality of data and other information provided to bank boards. He also noted the value brought to the board decision-making process by including independent board members and by having members with relevant expertise and experience. Bank regulators, said Governor Tarullo, should expect that a banking organization board's risk management decisions are made on an enterprise-wide basis and that the board is spending a sufficient amount of time on overseeing key risk management and control functions.
Furthermore, Governor Tarullo suggested that consideration be given to expanding the fiduciary duties of directors of banking organizations to more closely align these duties with meeting regulatory objectives. While such changes in fiduciary duties would require amendments to state corporate laws and are beyond the powers of bank regulators, Governor Tarullo stated that such changes would be likely to make bank boards more responsive to interests beyond those of diversified shareholders i.e., to interests of regulators and society as a whole. Governor Tarullo further noted that broadening of a bank director's fiduciary duties would make "the courts . . . available as another route for managing the divergence between private and social interests in risk-taking," by providing a mechanism to hold a bank director liable for an alleged breach of his or her broadened fiduciary duty.

When I used towork larger scale digging projects that couldn't be completed
before more rain came, I would cover the hole with a tarp. Other types of
projects, too, that would be more difficult with too much moisture, I'd
cover them. Is there any way the raised beds could be covered without
damaging the plants?

The major factors determining drug responses are the input and disposition rates controlling pharmacokinetics, drug distribution to the site of action (biophase), the mechanism of drug action in altering mediator or receptor levels, and turnover and transduction processes. A major advance in quantifying pharmacologic responses came from our recognition that diverse pharmacodynamic effects can be characterized using a family of four basic (and extended) indirect response models. These (and most) models require analysis using differential equations which usually cannot be fully solved analytically. This project seeks to characterize and quantify the general properties of drugs acting on turnover processes which are important for numerous body functions, structures, or biomarkers.
Our specific aims i nclude further analysis of extended indirect response models (with and without precursor compartments) for responses following multiple dose administration that are not predictable from single- dose studies;continued development of multiple-pool lifespan-based indirect response models that mimic hematopoietic and other cellular differentiation cascades for drugs capable of altering the turnover or life-span of natural cells;development of advanced pharmacodynamic models of target-mediated drug disposition for systems where drug action alters the turnover of target-expressing cells, drug competes with endogenous ligands, and the mechanism of drug binding is allosteric or noncompetitive in nature;and the development and evaluation of mechanism-based transit compartment pharmacodynamic models that can emulate cellular signal transduction cascades and bridge molecular biology and macro- scale pharmacodynamic responses with a focus on anticancer drugs. Advanced methods of calculus and simulations will be employed to seek exact or approximate solutions or behaviors of these models to identify how the onset, extent, return, duration, integrals of response (flux), and steady-states of response are controlled, to recover meaningful parameters more easily from experimental data, and to discriminate among diverse models available to describe typical data sets. These efforts will yield improved insights and methods for understanding and characterizing the time-course of drug responses as related to major drug- and system-specific properties manifesting from mechanisms of physiology and pharmacologic action.
The major factors determining the intensity and time-course of drug responses are related to how the body processes the drug, pharmacologic mechanisms of action, and turnover of physiologic structures and functions. These drug and system properties are complex. This proposal seeks to utilize mathematical and computer modeling to improve the understanding of how drugs elicit their effects. Such efforts enable the integration of large amounts of information to efficiently explore new drug targets and provide methods for improving utilization of current drugs for treating various diseases.

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
Here is 1. The character of a good man, which is the work of God's grace in him; he is God's servant, subject to his law and employed in his work, that is, devoted to his fear, given up to his direction and disposal, and taken up with high thoughts of him and all those acts of devotion which have a tendency to his glory. Those are truly God's servants who, though they have their infirmities and defects, are sincerely devoted to the fear of God and have all their affections and motions governed by that fear; they are engaged and addicted to religion. 2. The confidence that a good man has towards God, in dependence upon the word of his grace to him. Those that are God's servants may, in faith and with humble boldness, pray that God would establish his word to them, that is, that he would fulfil his promises to them in due time, and in the mean time give them an assurance that they shall be fulfilled. What God has promised we must pray for; we need not be so aspiring as to ask more; we need not be so modest as to ask less.

The Vancouver Board of Education has suspended its school closure process immediately.
The September 21 announcement by the Ministry of Education that it was removing the 95 per cent capacity utilization target set out in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed with the board in 2014 played a role in the board's decision to suspend the closure process.
In the MOU, the board and ministry committed to achieving an average 95 per cent capacity utilization across the district through the provincially-funded Seismic Mitigation Program. The MOU was a key factor in the Long Range Facilities Plan (LRFP) and the school closure recommendations that flowed from it.
"The school closure process, including the development of the LRFP and administrative reports on schools, involved thousands of hours of staff time. The closure process was working on very tight timelines and the minister's announcement about the removal of the 95 per cent requirement came too late to allow detailed consideration of the implications prior to the September 26 board meeting to move schools forward for public consultation. A new staff report may not be ready before decisions have to be made in December," said VSB chairperson Mike Lombardi. "The decision of the Board means that in accordance with the VSB school closure policy, none of the 11 schools identified for consideration of closure will be closed by June 30, 2017."
In addition to suspending the closure process, trustees are referring three recommendations from the acting superintendent to the facilities committee for consideration. They include developing a report recommending strategies for expediting and accelerating seismic upgrades using available school space. Another report recommending processes and timelines for updating the LRFP. And that there be a further review and report to the Board on policies related to school closures and other related matters.

An invigorating accretion in technology has doubtlessly brought us to a comprehensive new phase, where the retail culture has been modified to a greater extent with more and more people buying online instead of waiting in queues for the same old shopping experience. Pharmaceutical Industry in Canada too hasn't remained untouched by the booming e-commerce that has revolutionized the retail culture and has brought a more personalized and better experience to shoppers all over the world. But is it really the trend that needs to continue? Should Canadian Pharmacies really digitize their stores and start selling online? To answer these questions, we see why online emerging Canadian Pharmacy are better than their offline store counterparts.
Your advantage with online Canadian pharmacy
Your local pharmaceutical stores might offer you a decent discount when it comes to knowing you and maintaining you as a loyal customer. But here is a look at what the online Canadian Pharmacies have the potential of offering you-
- Exceptional personalized service whenever & wherever you need.
- No waiting in queues for advice or payment of bills- click and you are ready to go.
- Best deals and discounts from manufacturers with no commissions or extra cuts that help you save a lot of money on health bills.
- You can get medicines and other products discretely delivered to your home as per your convenience.
- You get 24X7 assistance and service whereas the local stores might close down.
- You only get certified and tested medicines that are good to use for a genuinely long time.

- Payment is secure and gets stored in a record that will allow you to view the receipt whenever you need, without you having to take care of it.
- Your prescription is viewed by an experienced and knowledgeable pharmaceutical staff member who would then personally ready your order of medicines or health products which would be delivered to you in no time.
- Select from the various payment modes- you can pay for your medicines online or pay for them with cash after checking the delivered order as well.
And that's not all. Canadian Pharmacies in the digital realm are taking the International Pharmaceutical industry by storm by offering the lowest possible price of health products and medicines for all patients.
The Future vs The Past
The battle between the online pharmaceutical stores or associations and offline retailers is like the clash of the future with the past. You might trust the offline retailers more for the moment but stop to look around you- Online Canadian Pharmacy has really changed the game and has made quite a strides in the past few years. If you too are ready to be a part of an amazing online buying experience and want to get the certified best medicines or health products at the best prices, change to online Canadian pharmacy and witness the difference.

wikiHow to Join and Survive a Swim Team
Two Parts:Getting into a teamBeing part of the teamCommunity Q&A
Joining a swim team can be a momentous occasion if you're dreaming big about entering competitions and maybe some day even representing your state, region or country. Swim teams are a form of support in training and a form of competitive pressure to get you primed for competition. They can be intense at times but the training and support you'll receive make it worthwhile, so get your gear on and get into the mindset to be part of your local swim team.
Part 1
Getting into a team
1Make sure that you feel ready. A lot of effort will be expected once you join the team and you can't slack off or you let down the whole side. Consider your readiness before joining.
2Find a team. There may be a choice in your area, in which case, you'll need to do a little sleuthing first to work out which team will suit your needs best.
- Go and see the teams at training. Talk to the coach about your interest and ask to spend an hour watching and asking questions. Talk to the coach about your ambitions too.
- If you have a community pool, it's possible they have a team. Ask the lifeguards if they have a team or ask anybody else that works at the pool.
3Find out when registration occurs. Sign up as soon as you can to ensure a spot on the team. If there are try-outs, schedule yours.
4Do your best during a try-out. Train up to the time as much as possible. Wear the right gear: a one-piece bathing suit for girls and a jammer/speedo for boys, a latex/silicone cap, and goggles. Stay calm and focused on your goal.
- If possible, try to get into shape before you try out. Just try running around the block a few times, or arms and legs workouts. Trust me, it will be a lot easier if you're already fit. Also, you might want to get into a pool during the week prior to the tryout to get the right feel for the water; running keeps your muscles in-shape but not your stroke.
5Congratulations if you succeed in becoming a part of the team. If you don't, ask the coach for tips about trying out next time. Follow those to get into shape and be successful next time around.
Part 2
Being part of the team
1Set aside a lot of your schedule for swimming. If you want to get seriously competitive with swimming, be prepared to give up a lot of your free time and sacrifice a large part of your social life.
2Improve your strength. After you have joined the swim team, you need to get stronger. This includes work done outside of the pool (lift weights, run, push-ups, planks, sit-ups, crunches, 6 inches). Find time to devote to this style of training; your coach should be able to assist with training ideas and scheduling.
3Improve your flexibility. This is another important aspect of being a good swimmer. You'll need to do work outside of the pool too.
- One flexibility exercise: Sit on your ankles and try to make the top of your foot flat on the ground. If it starts to hurt, either stop or stay in that spot; doing this will allow you to make a better point with your feet and create less drag.
4Swim every day. Daily practice is essential for success. If you can't manage daily, swim as much as possible. Be aware that you need to meet the schedule the coach considers sufficient for staying part of the team.
- Do not miss any practice sessions unless you are sick.
5Make friends in the team. It is important to find support within the team, to share tips, stories, disappointments and success with. Having friendships will help you to survive the team well.
Community Q&A
How do I become a faster swimmer?wikiHow ContributorIf you are doing freestyle, try breathing less often and on one side. If you are doing backstroke, try pushing down, the advanced way. For breaststroke, use more power in your legs and glide between each stroke. For butterfly, try kicking hard, and having your body vertical. It is very hard to get your arms out of the water if your body is slanted. Keep your legs and arms in sync.
How do I overcome my fear of flip turns?wikiHow ContributorIf you are afraid of getting water up your nose, try to hum or blow bubbles out of your nose. If you're afraid of bonking your head against the wall, try to do somersaults in the deep end or just away from the wall.
How do I become ready for a swim team? What if I'm not good enough?wikiHow ContributorTry learning the strokes correctly first, because in swim team you repeat the strokes again and again, and it will be hard to correct any poor habits. After that, work on what is called endurance.Try swimming 50, 100, or even 200 laps. Make sure to go slow but test your limits. If you've put in the practice, have confidence in yourself and try out. You'll never know if you can make it until you try.
If it's my first time trying out, do I have a chance of making the team?wikiHow ContributorOf course. Just try your best.
I used to swim on a team when I was younger. I quit a few years back, now I miss it and want to try again. I'm a good swimmer, but I don't know if I'm good enough for a team. What should I do?Stay fit and practice at least twice a week until tryouts.

- There will be a lot of endurance sets which means a lot of swimming, so be ready, swimming isn't as easy as some might think.
- Ask for help from the coaches if you want to improve a stroke, they love to help and its always better to know what you need help on.
- Try if for a week and see if you like it. You might find that you want to quit. Swimming isn't for everyone.
- Be sure you don't hit your head on the bottom of the pool, and be sure you don't hit the wall.

MIAMI (AP) — As the West Virginia Mountaineers celebrated their first Orange Bowl victory, safety Darwin Cook shared a hug with the game's mascot, Obie.
They had run into each other earlier in the end zone when Cook scored the night's pivotal touchdown, then leaped on the smiling orange. Only after the game did he learn a woman was wearing the Obie outfit.
"I didn't know you were a girl," he told her. "I apologize."
The Mountaineers ran over everything in their path Wednesday night, including the Clemson Tigers. Geno Smith tied the record for any bowl game with six touchdown passes, and the No. 23-ranked Mountaineers set a bowl scoring record with their high-powered offense by routing No. 14 Clemson 70-33.

Los Alamos Fencing Club coach Tom Hill took 16th out of 70 Epee entrants at a national event last month.
Hill competed in the United States Fencing Association's North America Cup event that was held in Kansas City, Mo. The four-day event attracted more than 1,000 top fencers throughout the country.
In the Combined Vets Epee division, age 40 and above, Hill got off to a rocky start. In pool play, he won just one of seven contests.
He picked up his performance in the direct elimination rounds, however, including pulling off a big upset over top-seeded Sean Ameli in the second round. Hill upended Ameli, one of the nation's top-ranked Epeeists, by a score of 10-4 to advance.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — As Brady Hoke trotted across the Superdome field, his Michigan players celebrating all around him, a big bucket of ice water suddenly came splashing down on the coach's head.
It had been quite a while since the Wolverines won a BCS bowl and they were going to enjoy it.
"All the tough times we've been through makes it even more special," senior defensive tackle Mike Martin said. "To be the fifth team that ever in Michigan history has won 11 games in a season, it means a lot."
Brendan Gibbons drilled a 37-yard field goal down the middle in overtime, lifting No. 13 Michigan to a 23-20 victory over 17th-ranked Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl at the Superdome on Tuesday night.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball team held a 4-point edge late against the Volcano Vista Hawks, but struggled in the final three minutes of Tuesday night's contest.
The Hilltoppers dropped the road contest to the Class 5A Hawks, 46-42.
While the loss was disappointing, worse still for the Hilltoppers was a late injury suffered by Thomas Russell. Russell, one of the team's premier players, rolled his ankle on a putback attempt in the fourth quarter.
It was the second time Russell had injured the ankle, the first being in the preseason, but he stayed in to the contest long enough to sink two free throws to give Los Alamos a 4-point advantage.
The Hilltopper girls basketball team hosted the Volcano Vista Hawks Tuesday night at Griffith Gymnasium. The Hawks, one of the top teams in Class 5A, came away with a 61-39 victory. Volcano Vista (13-0) held Los Alamos to just five second quarter points and 13 first half points on its way to victory. Los Alamos (6-8), which has struggled against top-tier opponents in recent games, will have an important test Friday night when it hosts St. Pius X.
A local United States Tennis Association men's team pulled off an upset in the final round of the Northern New Mexico District League championship.
Los Alamos' team, composed of George E. Von Nieda, Thomas Kelley, Jerome Morzinski, David A. Shunas, Geoffrey B. Mills, Bob Nolen, James B. Harris and Sergey S. Kurennoy topped previously undefeated Highpoint Sports of Albuquerque, 2-1, to take the district championship last month.
The district tournament was held at the Lobo Tennis Center in Albuquerque.
With Los Alamos' victory over Highpoint Dec. 11 in the 3.5 championship, the team qualified for the United States Tennis Association's Southwest Sectional Tournament. That tournament will be played in early May in Surprise, Ariz.
