Greeneville, Tenn. - Ryson Felder clinched a back-and-forth affair between the Brevard Tornados and the Tusculum Pioneers on Thursday evening with a pair of free throws with 1.5 seconds left on the clock as the Tornados escaped Pioneer Arena with the 77-72 victory.
Vincent Dombrowski tied a Brevard (4-2, 2-0 SAC) school record with seven three-pointers in the contest on his way to scoring a game-high 26 points as the Tornados won their first contest after the holiday break. Dombrowski was eight of 12 from the floor and seven of 11 from behind the arc in leading the Tornados shot 44.0 percent (22-50) from the floor and 48.0 percent (12-25) from behind the arc in their fourth consecutive win after starting the season 0-2.
Tommy Klempin led the Tusculum (4-8, 1-1 SAC) comeback in the second half, scoring 16 of his team-high 18 points, including a perfect eight for eight from the free throw line as Tusculum erased a 19 point deficit, cutting it all the way back to within four points with 13 seconds left on the clock, but it wasn't enough as the Pioneers fell for the first time in conference action.
Schauss opened up the scoring in the first half, continuing his hot streak from behind the arc as the sophomore connected on his first three-point attempt of the game to put the Tornados up 3-0. Jumpers by Steigerwald and Troutman sandwiched a three-pointer by Dombrowski as the Tornados held the 6-4 lead in the early going.
Dombrowski's early three-pointer was the start of a huge first half for the junior forward as he scored 10 of the Tornados first 15 points of the game, connecting on three of four from behind the arc and added a free throw to pace the Tornados offense as Brevard built a 15-6 lead with 12:20 remaining in the opening period.
The lead expanded to 11 as the Tornados hit a pair of baskets in transition as Roper connected on a short jumper before Ryson Felder hit a three-pointer off the assist from Hendrix to push the Tornados up 20-9. The Pioneers responded with a 6-0 run over their own covering the next four minutes as Matt Darnell connected on a pair of layups and J.D. Miller scored a basket, but a long three-pointer by Hendrix ended the run at the 6:20 mark as Brevard held the 23-15 advantage.
A fastbreak layup by Roper would give the Tornados their largest advantage of the first half at 14 points as Brevard went up 33-19 with 2:41 remaining in the opening period. Troutman and Hendrix would swap three-pointers to put the score at 36-22 before Tusculum closed out the half with a 6-2 spurt capped by a Miller baby hook shot in the lane with two seconds remaining in the half as the teams went into the locker room with Brevard leading 38-28.
The Tornados came out of the gates on fire in the first half, connecting on 56.0 percent (14-25) of their shots in opening period and seven of 12 from behind the arc, led by Dombrowski with a team-high 10 points. Tusculum was led by Troutman's 10 points in the first half, while shooting 45.8 percent (11-24) from the floor and holding the 14-12 rebounding edge in the first 20 minutes.
A pair of Roper free throws opened up the scoring in the second half and he added a short jumper before Dombrowski took over again from outside, connecting on three-pointers on three consecutive Brevard possessions as the Tornados went up by their largest lead of the contest at 51-32 as his third three-pointer off the assist from Schauss put the Tornados up by 19 with 15:01 left on the clock.
Tusculum's defense would bring the Pioneers back in the contest as the Tornados went cold from the field and turned the ball over three times during the ensuing 11-0 run as a pair of free throws by Tommy Klempin brought the game back to within single digits at 53-45 with 9:38 remaining in the game.
Another Dombrowski three-pointer extended the lead back out to 11, but Tusculum continued to chip away at the lead, bringing the game all the way back to within five points at the 4:18 mark as Klempin scored six straight points to close out the run, hitting four free throws and a layup to put the score at 62-57.
Tusculum kept it within striking distance the remainder of the contest, bringing it all the way back to within four points with 13 seconds remaining in the contest on a Ryan Slusher three-pointer, but the Tornados team combined to shoot 12 of 15 from the free throw line in the last 1:46 of the contest, capped by Felder's free throws with 1.5 seconds left on the clock as Brevard left Greeneville, Tenn. with the 77-72 victory.
For the game, the Tornados held the 31-28 rebounding advantage with Drew Schauss pulling down a game-high eight rebounds. Josh Roper and Gaither Hendrix were also among the Tornados scoring leaders in the contest as Roper finished the game with 18 points, while Hendrix scored 14.
The Pioneers shot 92.3 percent (12-13) from the free throw line in the second half, led by Klempin's perfect evening and he was joined in double figures scoring by Rob Troutman and Steigerwald as the duo scored 12 points apiece.
The Tornados are back in action in the new year as the return home to Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday, January 5th, as the host Carson-Newman College. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Eagles is set for 8 p.m.

Pub Crawl: The Angry Elephant
Updated 2:40 pm, Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Address: 19315 U.S. 281 No. 107
Phone: 210-545-3782
Hours: 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday-Saturday; 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Sunday
Cost/noise: Medium/medium
Snapshot: North Side bar aspires to be — on a smaller scale — the Hard Rock Café of politics. Vintage photos (Dewey Defeats Truman, a young Bill and Hillary) adorn the walls, and a cutout of Mitt Romney hangs out by a popcorn machine. The bar is split in half with GOP posters (Ike, Nixon) on one side, Democrats (FDR, JFK) on the other. The bipartisan curious can sit in the middle.
Who goes there: Grown-ups. Patrons on a recent Wednesday knew the words to the Billy Joel and Elton John songs sung by piano man Lucas Jack. Attire was neat but casual, blue jeans with button-down shirts and blouses.
Behind the bar: The bar's namesake cocktail is a spicy frozen margarita. A dozen beers on tap include two from Austin's Live Oak Brewing Co. and seasonal Shiner.
Munchies: Hot dogs, get your hot dogs. The kitchen serves more than a dozen varieties named for politicians. The Obama is a Chicago-style dog; the New York version salutes Rudy Giuliani. Even disgraced John Edwards inspires a great dog: an Eisenberg Sausage Co. frank topped with mustard, chili, diced onions and coleslaw.
Entertainment Channel
For early risers: A morning happy hour, from 7-10 a.m. Monday through Saturday, features bloody Marys, micheladas and a breakfast hot dog.
The skinny: High favorable ratings. The politics at Angry Elephant are more décor than decorum, and even staunch partisans will want to reach across the aisle for a beer and a brat.

Votto's homer pushes Reds past Indians
CINCINNATI (AP)—Joey Votto hit a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning, lifting the Cincinnati Reds over the Cleveland Indians 4-2 Monday in the opener of their intrastate matchup.
Votto won this interleague game with his ninth homer, tagging left-hander Nick Hagadone (0-1). The reliever was called up from Triple-A earlier in the day when closer Chris Perez was put on the disabled list with a sore right shoulder.
Shin-Soo Choo led off the Reds' eighth with a single and moved around on a passed ball and Zack Cozart's sacrifice bunt. Votto followed with an opposite-field shot into the seats in left.
Choo, traded from the Indians to the Reds in the offseason, also hit a leadoff homer in the first.
Jason Giambi tied it in the Indians' eighth with a long pinch-hit homer. The solo shot was estimated at 467 feet and caromed off the batter's background in center field. His ninth career pinch-hit homer ended his 0-for-24 slump and was third homer of the season and first since April 20.
Jonathan Broxton (2-1) got two outs in the eighth. Arodis Chapman pitched the ninth for his 13th save.
Reds starter Mike Leake one earned run and five hits in 7 1-3 innings, striking out seven. He left with a no-decision after giving up Giambi's homer.
Ubaldo Jimenez 3-0 in five previous career starts against Cincinnati, gave up four hits and two runs in seven innings.
Choo, sent to the Reds with infielder Jason Donald and cash for outfielder Drew Stubbs and infielder Didi Gregorius in December, led with his 10th homer of the season.
The Indians took advantage of an error by another former Indians player, Gold Glove second baseman Brandon Phillips to tie it in the fourth.
Jason Kipnis singled and took third when Phillips mishandled Nick Swisher's grounder. Carlos Santana's sacrifice fly made it 1-all.
Cozart led off the sixth with a double that just nicked the outside of the left-field line, advanced on Votto's groundout to second and scored on Phillips' sacrifice fly.

Founder Joseph Vidal strove to produce wines that expressed the typicity of the various soils and to achieve the highest degree of quality possible. True to the founder's goals. the winery continues to produce wines that are the finest expression of their appelation. Today Vidal Fleury offers a comprehensive range of red, white and rose wines from the Rhone Valley. Recognizing the enormous potential of Vidal Fleury and the value of its brand, the successful Rhone winemaker Marcel Guigal bought the company in 1986. Modern equipment in a spotless environment is used to implement the traditional methods in winemaking.
All red wines and selected white wines are matured adn aged in oak barrels and casks. Selected cuvees are aged in new oak for part or all of the maturation process. View all Vidal-Fleury Wines
About Cotes du RhoneView a map of Cotes du Rhone wineries
The appellation of Côtes du Rhône encompasses much of the land of the area, not to mention much of the wine – over two-thirds of the wine produced here is of the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation. Wines here need only be from the Côtes de Rhône geographic area (which is fairly large) and consist of one or more of the 22 varieties permitted. Being such a wide classification, it's a surprise and joy that so many of these wines reach such a high quality. While there are areas in the Northern Rhône that meet the classification of Côtes du Rhône, most all of this appellation is in the Southern Rhône. Wines here are based mostly on Grenache, like other Rhône reds, while the whites focus on Marsanne and Roussanne. Viognier is also allowed although typically used in smaller quantities.
Notable FactsThere is one higher level in the Côtes du Rhône called Côtes du Rhône Villages. These wines are from specific village areas that have a few more standards the wine must reach to receive the village label. Some to take note of are Cairanne, Rasteau, Seguret and Beaumes-de-Venise. The good thing about both Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages is that big producers of the smaller appellations are taking the opportunity and freedom offered by this broad appellation and creating wines of very high quality, and lower in price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Taylorsville • A look at the official scorecard from Taylorsville 15-0 victory over West yields an incomplete record of the game.
The penciled card has Taylorsville hitting through the lineup twice with a pair of home runs, nine doubles and a triple. Every Warrior hit safely and crossed the plate with smart baserunning.
They recorded six stolen bases.
It shows Aseneca Lesuna filling in for Cami Mathews on the mound and pitching efficiently, striking out two and giving up only two walks and a hit.
While there are columns for balls and strikes on the scorecard, there is no place to report the confidence Taylorsville brought to the plate for every at-bat. Coach Rich Kaelin credits his team for maintaining its focus in the four-inning affair.
"Discipline at the plate," coach Rich Kaelin said. "They weren't overanxious and because of it, we hit the ball on the money."
Defensively, shortstop Karlee Jensen made a daring double play in the second, snagging a line drive and throwing out the retreating West runner. Kaelin was impressed with the energy and focus from Louisiana Tech-committed Jensen.
"Sometimes you're afraid that they become passive, but she cares more than ever," Kaelin said. "It's nice to see it that's why she's a leader."
Maddie Cushing hit a first-inning home run and a triple in the second. She hoped that Taylorsville treats Thursday's victory as a lesson in maintaining focus through regional play.
"Games like this teach you to come together," Cushing said. "You can't sit back and hope to keep your focus you got to do what you do to win."
Jensen was pleased with her teammates' performances. She acknowledged that losing by the run-rule is discouraging but knows that the good teams come back from a tough loss.
"I'd tell them [West] that they played a good game and focus on the next step," Jensen said. "Learn from what happened, put it behind you and come out stronger for the next one."

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Chances are pretty good that you wouldn't know where to go to purchase a set of comedy bosoms or a papier-mché turd. Take note: Since 1947, Bert Easley's has provided our great state with all variations of rubber vomits, fake cigarettes (great on airplanes!), and phony squished cats. October is the best time to visit, when Halloween masks, reasonably priced life-size skeletons, and wonderfully sick-making foam-rubber body parts and polyethylene organs fill the shelves. Easley's also rents and sells a vast array of costumes year-round, and stocks more than 5,000 rentable costumes on premises. The shop carries a full range of stage makeup, and the counter help will gladly explain how to apply clown white, a fake bolt-in-the-head, or that zany chest-hair wig. Speaking of wigs, this place offers every style imaginable, all of them affordable and displayed for easy viewing. Try doing all your holiday shopping here, just once!

A few years ago, Charles Nolan quietly opened his shop in the basement of the venerable Luhrs Central Building across from Patriots Square downtown. He had a concept -- the hippest men's shop in town, and that was about it. Advertising budget? Hardly. Neon signs? Not in this lifetime. Word of mouth? You betcha. These days, Charles -- who doesn't even have a phone in his downtown haberdashery -- counts several Phoenix Suns as regular customers, and his clientele is growing by the month, eager to buy his primo Italian suits, his slick shirts, his excellent selection of ties. But Charles isn't just a clotheshorse. A major league jazz fan, he collects CDs, then sells them to his customers for a mere 10 bucks apiece. Finding this gem of a store isn't easy. But once you find Charles in Suite M, around the bend from Tony's Barber Shop, you're in for quite a sartorial treat.
The aromatic world that exists behind the plain-looking façades of this local chain stimulates all five senses, and possibly even your sixth. In what's best described as organized chaos, bins of exquisitely scented candles beckon you to dig and sniff and explore. The on-premises craftspeople work endlessly to turn out high-quality candles with new and unusual fragrances to suit every taste. Explore the nooks and crannies for an eclectic selection of candleholders and treasures brought back from the owner's frequent buying trips. And check out the shop's "container fill" program, which allows you to design your own creation for the price of the wax. Plan to shop early during the holidays, as lines have been known to form at the door of these popular gift-buying destinations.
Although lots of ladies only shop for a new swimsuit once a year, foxy Phoenician women consider bikinis a year-round wardrobe staple. This shop on North Scottsdale Road has the most fun, edgiest collection in town, ranging from modern-day Gidget florals to the barest Brazilian string bikinis, from brands like Body Glove and Bebe. It's hard to pick just one style when you have to choose among satiny blue leopard, neon flames or sparkly camouflage prints. The prices are reasonable enough to leave you with cash to buy a Hawaiian-pattern wrap and some sequined flip-flops, too. If you're feeling exhibitionist, you can even find something suitable for prancing around like one of the babes next door at Babes Cabaret -- a lace and rhinestone g-string with a pair of black patent platform stiletto mules, the classic frilly maid's costume or the naughty plaid schoolgirl mini-kilt, complete with matching plaid thong.
Who gets a rush out of visiting a fabric store? At SAS, the answer is anybody looking for the thrill of a good bargain, the delight of an unexpected find or simply to supercharge the creative juices. Stocked to the rafters with discounted merchandise, this labyrinthine shop is like a candy store for aspiring fashion designers. Dig through bolts of satins and silks, twills and tweeds of every hue. Let your mind wander as you consider 50 different types of lace. Then ogle the incredible assortment of trimmings. Boxes of vintage-look buttons, rolls of shiny ribbons and mesh, barrels full of straight-outta-the-'70s embroidered patches, and various zippers and snaps are there to hook you. We dare you to walk out of the store without a single new idea for a project.

How did a Lactation Consultant or Breastfeeding Support Group Help You?
The immense, lifelong benefits of breastfeeding are well-known. This doesn't mean that breastfeeding is always easy. Many mums need some extra help and support with breastfeeding; particularly at first when there is so much to get used to and you may still be recovering from the birth. Getting the latch right is essential as a good latch will mean a baby can effectively and efficiently remove milk from the breast and it will also be comfortable for mum.
In those early days, and throughout the breastfeeding journey, a mum may want some extra support, encouragement and reassurance. Lactation Consultants are highly experienced in providing expert breastfeeding experience. Last year Unicef stated that breastfeeding peer support groups were key in helping mums to maintain a long breastfeeding relationship.
Do you attend a breastfeeding support group? Have you ever had a consultation with a Lactation Consultant? How did these services/groups help you?
Here are some of the ways that forum members have been helped and supported by these breastfeeding support services:
- Helping me to establish a good latch.
- Helping me to find a position to breastfeed comfortably in.
- Showing me how to breastfeed when laying down.
- Diagnosing a tongue tie in my baby.
- Cutting the tongue tie and providing support after this.
- Reassuring me that the frequency I was breastfeeding was normal.
- Helping me to tandem breastfeed my twins.
- Giving me useful information about expressing for when I returned to work.
- Helping me to understand more about preparing for breastfeeding (when I was pregnant).
We look forward to hearing your experiences and stories about the support from a breastfeeding group or lactation consultant.

- Confusion/disorganization with the times and locations of things (like main programming and panels). Some of it was that the wrong info was printed in the booklet (can be more or less solved with more proofreading). But the rest were events getting pushed back (like the concert), therefore making everything else later than scheduled. I know that things do come up and people need to be flexible, but it just seemed like there were a lot more scheduling issues this year...
- Size/use of the Hilton rooms. First, I just want to say I liked the rooms on the main floor of the Hilton. The rooms on the other floor though... well, they were tiny. At least, they were tiny for the panels scheduled in them. This could just be that some panels were not expected to be so popular, but the lack of a "waiting area" or place to line up for them just compounded the problem. I think the staff did better with controlling traffic on Saturday though. And I'm glad the door from the skybridge to the panel rooms eventually got opened up. The go-in-the-small-elevator-to-get-in-another-elevator thing was weird.
- Angry elevator lady. I don't know who she was or if she was even on ACen staff (I could not see what badge(s) she had, I'm too short to see over people), but Saturday (?) when the elevator traffic was getting really crazy, the crowded elevator got to the very bottom floor and she wigged out that people were riding all the way down to just go back up. She also threatened she would make us all get off and walk the stairs to get to our rooms. Which made me mad on three counts: (1) I was the person who pressed the button for the elevator. I pressed "up." The elevator arrived and the arrow also pointed up. I got on, but it went down. I have no idea why that even happened. For all I know, someone's bottom pressed a button to go down. (2) I'm not 5. And I do not appreciate being treated rudely. (3) I'm not about to walk up 9 flights of stairs in cosplay unnecessarily. I'm asthmatic.
I realize some people can be complete bozos and have to really be prodded to do anything. But there's a fine line between being assertive to correct a problem and being demeaning. As my mom says, "Let's not put the F-U in fun, okay?"
In other news, I was overwhelmingly pleased with the rest of the staff I interacted with. There's a lot to be said for just being nice. So, thank you for that.
And just a suggestion item: I'm not sure why the ticket system was taken away for main events, but I really liked it the last time it was implemented. The tickets were basically general admission with scheduled seating times I believe. So you knew where to be and when, without the uneasiness of waiting in line and possibly waiting that whole time without ever getting in.

A minor weekend traffic accident led county sheriff's deputies to a van in Carson, where they discovered a man's body inside along with a driver attempting to slit his wrists.
The incident was reported about 4 p.m. Sunday in the 2700 block of East Madison Street, near Santa Fe Avenue and Carson Street, close to the Carson/Long Beach border.
Sheriff's Deputy Mark Pope said the victim, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was discovered after deputies from the Carson sheriff's station were called to the area when the van sideswiped a vehicle, Pope said.
Witnesses found the blue-and-white van nearby on Madison Street, and notified authorities.
Pope said the victim appeared to have been strangled, and the driver was trying to kill himself.
"The driver inside the vehicle was actively attempting to commit suicide by slicing his wrists," Pope said.
The deputies were able to stop the driver, and he was rushed to a local hospital. He was expected to survive, Pope said.
His name also was withheld and authorities said it was not known if he would face criminal charges.

I had everything when I left, but the LORD has brought me back with nothing. How can you still call me Naomi, when God has turned against me and made my life so hard?"
1 Before Israel was ruled by kings, Elimelech from the tribe of Ephrath lived in the town of Bethlehem. His wife was named Naomi, and their two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. But when their crops failed, they moved to the country of Moab. And while they were there,
3 Elimelech died, leaving Naomi with only her two sons.
5 Mahlon and Chilion also died. Now Naomi had no husband or sons.
6 When Naomi heard that the LORD had given his people a good harvest, she and her two daughters-in-law got ready to leave Moab and go to Judah. As they were on their way there,
9 May he give each of you another husband and a home of your own." Naomi kissed them. They cried
10 and said, "We want to go with you and live among your people."
12 You must go back home, because I am too old to marry again. Even if I got married tonight and later had more sons,
13 would you wait for them to become old enough to marry? No, my daughters! Life is harder for me than it is for you, because the LORD has turned against me."
14 They cried again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-by, but Ruth held on to her.
17 I will die where you die and be buried beside you. May the LORD punish me if we are ever separated, even by death!"
18 When Naomi saw that Ruth had made up her mind to go with her, she stopped urging her to go back.
19 They reached Bethlehem, and the whole town was excited to see them. The women who lived there asked, "Can this really be Naomi?"
21 I had everything when I left, but the LORD has brought me back with nothing. How can you still call me Naomi, when God has turned against me and made my life so hard?"
22 The barley harvest was just beginning when Naomi and Ruth, her Moabite daughter-in-law, arrived in Bethlehem.

Earlier this month Peace Action and Peace Action Education Fund launched a call-in campaign to the White House comment line, calling on the President to choose the zero troops option once the U.S. ends military operations in Afghanistan.
We timed it just right, in conjunction with a visit to Washington from Afghanistan's President Karzai.
Apparently we made our point. In his meeting with President Obama, Karzai went out of his way to reject the very notion that the U.S. would even consider the "zero troops"option. Our message was received.
Peace Action members renew our demand for a safe and complete pullout at the earliest possible date, but, in the interim, we are encouraged that the 10,000 to 20,000 troops the Pentagon was hoping for appears to have fallen from favor.
Let's remind the President that U.S. military operations in Afghanistan are more likely to destabilize the government than achieve a political outcome favorable to the real interests of the American people.
After you write President Obama you can help a great deal more by getting your friends involved. You can click here or watch for the 'Tell a Friend' page to appear after you send the President your personalized message.
Let's keep up the pressure and demand an end to this terrible war.
Thank you for keeping up this important work.
Humbly for Peace,
Kevin Martin
Executive Director
Peace Action
P.S.Thank you for your actions to end this war. We have turned public opinion around over the last few years and it's time to be heard again. Tell your friends to join in and write President Obama. Tell him its time to end this war and bring all our troops home.

Thanks AB. That is a very agreeable analysis.
I've just been reading Olivelle's translation of the Upanisads, and to my surprise I find an unusual use of "atman". Besides the 2 we are familiar with (ie as Atman and as a reflexive pronoun), it apparently also means "body". Not the physical body, for which śarīra is used (eg in BAU 2.1.18), but apparently to refer to the conglomeration of or vessel for the vital functions (prāṇa) -
- breath
- speech
- vision
- hearing
- olfaction
- taste
- touch
- mind
- perception
- thought
This looks about as close a listing to the MN 44 concept of the 3 sankhāras. I suspect that the Buddha was turning the old competition for supremacy between the prāṇas on its head, by showing that the breath is not supreme after all.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
This place is a little hard to find, tucked in the back of a popular shopping center, but it's totally worth the search. The space offers two pole-dance studios — one large one for group classes, and a smaller space for private, all-female parties. We hear women of all sizes and ages who are "taking pole" asking each other in the hallways, "What level are you at now?" — as if it were any dojo in town. These gals are serious about developing core strength and six-pack abs by wrapping and gyrating around poles and cheering each other on. It's a classy environment (really!) where soccer moms can feel comfortable popping in for a pole class, then picking up some groceries at Trader Joe's. Even though it's an all-female gig, we suspect quite a few husbands and boyfriends out there are appreciating Express MiE about now, too.
The Valley's a real valley, in case you never noticed, and it's surrounded by numerous, picturesque desert mountains. Most are contained within governmental recreation areas, making them easy to park near and hike up. But not Red Mountain, located on the eastern side of the Salt River Pima- Maricopa Indian Community. The eye-pleasing reddish hue and steep, weather-worn cliffs make Red Mountain (a.k.a. Mount McDowell, FireRock, and Gunsight Butte) one of the area's most beautiful crags. At 2,830 feet in elevation, it stands higher than either Camelback Mountain or Piestewa Peak. Since the early 1980s, though, the mountain has been off-limits for hikers, climbers, and photographers who want something more than a shot from the Beeline Highway. Tribal officials tell us that local law prohibits even Salt River residents from walking the summit trail, thanks to punks who descrecated some of the mountain's centuries-old petrogylphs. No permits for hiking are issued, and those caught sneaking in for an illicit adventure should expect to be prosecuted if caught. Like it or not, some things are sacred.
Hiking to the top of Brown's Peak, the tallest summit of Four Peaks, can be a challenge for people in the best conditions. Brown's Trail, the typical summit route, is about four miles round-trip and steep in places. Hands-on scrambling is required near the top of the gully close to the summit. After a wet year, like this one, the upper flanks of Four Peaks can be covered with ice and snow. And that changes things for hikers — for the better, if you like adventure. When we hiked Four Peaks with a friend in mid-April, the gully was a long, glacier-like ice chute. The only group of hikers we saw summiting that day, besides us, had used harnesses and a climbing rope to belay each other up. Somewhat unintelligently, we forged our way up the chute using sticks like half-assed ice axes. Wearing crampons, those spikes you can attach to your shoes, would have been preferable for the hike. While crossing the chute seemed to invite a potential death fall, the sketchiest moment of the hike came when hikers above us kicked down a head-size boulder. The boulder rolled down the snowfield straight for us and banged into the stick we were holding. We descended a different way, spidering over the snowless summit blocks, ending up in thigh-high snow before finding the main trail. In other words, this spring outing felt like a day in the Himalayas. We're going back the next time it snows — and we'll be taking better gear.
At 7 p.m., the gate closes off the park road leading into Pima Canyon, near the northeast tip of Phoenix's extraordinary South Mountain Park/Preserve. Cars can't get back in there — but you can. A ranger told us recently that night hikers or bikers are good to go, even after hours. (He added that if police catch you out there past 11 p.m., they may tell you to get out but won't ticket you). We can't tell you where to park for a night adventure in South Mountain — the Pointe neighborhood surrounding the park entrance is private property. However, once there, it's a beautiful, peaceful walk by moonlight — or starlight — that anyone can do. Unlike a desert single-track trail, this hike is easy at night because it begins on a mile-long asphalt road (usually filled with parked cars in the daytime) and continues with another mile or so of pleasant dirt road winding through low hills. At night, we typically stop at the benches near the National Trail trailhead before turning around. True, the place can be spooky after the sun goes down — akin to a stroll down a long, dark alley. It's probably best to take a friend or two. But if you're the type who scoffs at such risk, hiking Pima Canyon at night offers a tantalizing trade of perfect safety for an hour or two of wilderness-inspired bliss. Did we mention it's cooler at night?
We've hiked the Grand Canyon to the Colorado River and back up in a day many times, and only once did the climb out nearly do us in. On that fateful trip, somewhere between Indian Gardens and the three-mile rest stop on the Bright Angel trail, as our quads seemed ready to pull off the bone, we vowed never again to forgo our traditional Grand Canyon training hike. Our friend came up with this one: You hike to the top of Piestewa Peak via the main summit trail, but instead of going all the way back down, you set off on the four-mile Circumference Trail. That will plug you back to the lower slopes of Piestewa and the main summit trail — which you then climb to the top. Although our buddy claims the second time up is easier, because you're warmed up, we've never found that to be the case — it always seems much tougher. But adding this hike to your training regimen will allow you to enjoy the Grand Canyon ambiance instead of worrying whether you'll need a mule to drag you out.
This may be our all-time favorite hike in the Valley. If you want to see the Sonoran Desert in its entire splendor, head to Usery and rock the Pass Mountain Loop hike. Just make sure it's between February and May when our unique vegetation actually looks fertile (for once). Yes, the saguaros will be tipped with white blossoms; the ocotillo will be covered in lush leaves and orange blooms; and the barrel cacti will glow with their hot pink, orange, and yellow flowers. And don't forget the Brittle Bush, and, ahem, Blue Dick that sprout from the dirt. We say, with such a rare opportunity to see some life in our desert, make the most of it with this eight-mile loop. You'll certainly get an eyeful as you wrap around the mountain's base, slowly climbing to make a steep descent on the other side.

God's Word uses powerful hunting and fishing analogies to drive home vital truths regarding temptation, lust, and its grip on a person's life. Are you hooked? The hook is often hidden by the bait and the sad but true fact is, we never outgrow the hooks! Listen to this challenging message from James 1:13-15.
After covering "The Mystery of the Gospel" and "The Essence of the Gospel," Pastor Mike moves on to the third segment of a series of messages on the theme "The Gospel: What It Is and What It Means to Be Saved." This morning's message is part one of a sermon entitled "The Need for the Gospel: Man's Condition." Using the analogy of an X-ray, Pastor Mike shows that Ephesians 2:1-3 is God's portrait of the human heart that doesn't lie nor deceive. Our emotional response to the revelation given in no way affects the truthfulness of it nor the reality of it. Until we understand how desperate our condition is before God we won't understand our need for the Gospel and consequently we will feel no sense of urgency to run to Christ for rescue.

Fox "Straight News" Division Uses Health Care Anniversary To Push GOP Falsehoods On Reform Law
Fox's supposedly "straight news" division has a habit [1] of passing off Republican talking points as news. And it shows no signs of stopping. On March 23, on the eve of the two-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, Republicans in Congress set their eyes on repealing the provision of the law that created the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), relying on falsehoods to attack the IPAB. And Bill Hemmer, supposedly a "straight news" anchor at Fox News is pushing the same falsehoods.
IPAB recommends proposals to limit Medicare spending growth. As explained by the Kaiser Family Foundation [2]:
The recently enacted health reform law (P.L. 111-148; P.L. 111-152) establishes a new Independent Payment Advisory Board with authority to recommend proposals to limit Medicare spending growth. If projected per capita Medicare spending exceeds target growth rates, the Board is required to recommend proposals to reduce Medicare spending by specified amounts, with the first set of recommendations due in 2014 for implementation in 2015
The Affordable Care Act specifically prohibits [3] the IPAB from making "any recommendations to ration health care ... or otherwise restrict benefits." That has not stopped the website of House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) from characterizing IPAB [4] as a "rationing board." And Hemmer was right on board with the talking point. Hemmer stated during a segment on the IPAB: "Critics say that it's misguided and will only lead to rationing of care." Hemmer then played an attack on the IPAB by Republican Rep. Jeb Hensarling (TX) and conducted an interview with IPAB opponent Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA) but never even mentioned that the IPAB is prohibited from rationing care.
Today's segment follows on the heels of yesterday's IPAB discussion, in which Bill Hemmer characterized IPAB as "the so-called death panels," a version of the thoroughly debunked [5] lie [6] from 2009.
This false attack by Hemmer again dovetails with Republican messaging. Rep. Phil Roe (R-TN) called IPAB the "real death panel" in an interview with The Daily Caller [7] in 2011.
"What everybody was talking about, when you saw Sarah Palin and so forth, what they were talking about these advanced directives where you sit down and there's sort of mandatory counseling - and Medicare paid for it. This IPAB got missed - and it's the real death panel."
And Republicans are still using "death panel" terminology to refer to the IPAB. The Washington Post reported [8] on April 22 that Rep. Jack Kingston claimed of IPAB: "It's not necessarily a death panel, but it is a rationing panel and rationing does lead to scarcity for some," he added. "Who's going to get the needed treatment, an 85-year-old or the 40-year-old with children?"

I've had my Samsung Galaxy S3 for over a year now, and I still keep on tripping over new things to see and do.
For example, the other day I accidentally pinched the home screen using two fingers and was taken to this screen:
Sweet – an overview of all my different app pages all in one place! From the looks of it, I've got a lot of extra real estate I'm not using…
Thankfully, adding/removing pages is simple!
To clean things up and remove an extra page you're not using, simply tap and hold a blank page and drag it to the trash icon on the bottom.
*Poof* gone!
Now, to add screens, just tap the page with a + sign.
Voila! Extra room for whatever you'd like! Remember – you can have up to seven screens at a time!

Summerville soldier fatally stabbed in Washington, possible hate crime
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From the Associated Press:
A Lowcountry soldier stationed near Seattle, Washington who was fatally stabbed during an altercation in Lakewood, Wash., on Saturday has been identified.
The Army said Sunday that Spc. Tevin Geike, of Summerville, was an aviation operations specialist and a member of the 7th Infantry Division. He entered the Army in October 2010 after graduating from Stall High School, according to his Facebook page. He arrived in Washington in 2011.
Glenn Zimmerman was walking with Geike and a group of about 15 after celebrating the end of a friend's military service. That's when Zimmerman said the situation turned from a celebration to a tragedy.
"A car drove by, yelled something about them being white. One of my buddies said something about disrespecting a combat veteran," he said to our NBC affiliate in Seattle, Washington.
That's when police say five African American men in their mid twenties pulled over and started an argument. One man allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed Geike multiple times.
"When I first saw his body, I didn't even stop. I just kept going," Zimmerman said. "I wanted to find the people who did it so bad."
Police have yet to find the suspects. Investigators are examining whether the attack was a racially motivated hate crime.
Zimmerman is still searching for answers.
"I hoped I would have woke up this morning, and he was still there. I pray it was just a nightmare. He was taken before his time."
An autopsy is planned for Monday morning.

Over the duration of the Pokemon franchise, we've seen quite a few deviations from the classic collectable-JRPG. We've seen things like Dungeon Crawlers, and Fighting games. But, there is nothing new under the sun. And I want to know what kinds of games do you think could be not only beneficial to Pokemon Company, but may also be a sort of pseudo-game-changer?
What sort of game would you like to see in the future?

Alexander Gorlin, FAIA, is a multifaceted architect with a range that has taken him from classical country villas to modernist urban houses, from affordable housing to luxury high-rises and on to offices, schools, synagogues—even to whimsical guard booths and a grand piano or two. His client mix is equally eclectic. In 2004 Gorlin designed Daniel and Nina Libeskind's 2,200-square-foot TriBeCa loft in New York City, five blocks from where the Twin Towers once stood. A year earlier, a commission from New Urbanists Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co. resulted in the 12-story Gorlin Tower at Aqua in Miami Beach, Fla. And the nonprofit developers of the Nehemiah Spring Creek Houses at Gateway Estates in Brooklyn, N.Y., recently broke ground on 117 row houses that Gorlin designed. The brightly colored homes will be modestly priced from $158,300 to $480,000.
"I'm easily bored," Gorlin says by way of explanation. "I think one's practice should reflect the mix of society at large. To limit yourself in what you do is unnecessary, and in a way, I think your work can become less interesting."
It's a statement architects often make, but in Gorlin's case, it seems rooted in a generosity of spirit that transcends mere ambition. Born in Queens, N.Y., and educated at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and at Yale University, Gorlin is polite, friendly, and unassuming, with an open-minded optimism that makes him extremely likable. His SoHo office is a large, utilitarian room filled with 15 employees, cardboard models, and walls of books used to research ideas for the work at hand. Gorlin is a rigorous student of history—his Cooper thesis reconstructed the Jerusalem Temple from biblical texts and placed it in New York City's Union Square, on axis with the subway lines along Broadway—yet his work has good-naturedly resisted typecasting. For him, history is just a means to an end. "You can't compete with Michelangelo," he says. "The most meaningful way an architect can connect with history is to make it somehow his own."
That's why Gorlin deliberately courts clients who are enthusiastic about making something unusual, like the urbane Chicago bachelor for whom he designed a theatrical townhouse. As is his custom, Gorlin dreamed up a narrative for the house, designing an all-white, glowing cube as the ultimate James Bond pad. "It's like a dating service," he says of the architect-client match. "Clients should themselves be creative, and it's better if they're fun to work with and have a sense of humor." Listening to him talk, he seems buoyed not just by a desire to stand out, but by an urge to design buildings that are genuinely joyful.
urbane infill As free-ranging as his work is, Gorlin is the go-to guy for urban dwellings. Townhouses, in particular, have been a focus of his considerable energies in recent years, resulting in two books: The New American Town House (Rizzoli, 1999) and Creating the New American Town House (Rizzoli, 2005). Gorlin became interested in this narrow, vertical house type through his work at Seaside, Fla., in the early 1990s, where he designed a cluster of townhouses facing Ruskin Place, the town's central square. Ever the scholar, he began mining history for inspiration. How had city houses, with their blinkerlike parallel walls, evolved to overcome the challenges of lighting, construction, and circulation? What, he wondered, does it mean to do something modern with a house type that has been around for thousands of years? Or, in the case at Seaside, within the constraints of a TND?
Gorlin's research showed that the noteworthy architecture emerging in the early part of the last century was not a rejection of tradition but an abstraction of classical ideas, such as the Roman peristyle garden reinterpreted as a double-height, light-filled atrium. Those ancient courtyard gardens were, he wrote in The New American Town House, "the ultimate focus of the house, completing the metaphorical transition from the city to the countryside in an architecturally rich setting of modulated light and shadow."
Moving forward in time, 17th- and 18th-century Parisian townhouses also caught his eye. Although their façades were typically one undivided volume that respected the street, in plan all hell broke loose. They had a relaxed lightness that came from playful asymmetries—ideas, he says, that Le Corbusier expanded on in the 1920s, when the introduction of steel and reinforced concrete offered up new ways to configure space. "As opposed to the limitations of pattern-book places like Disney's Celebration" in central Florida, Gorlin concluded, "the lessons of the development of Paris, London, and New York demonstrate that urban codes and rules have absorbed and encouraged innovation in the creation of the city."
What Gorlin finally decided was that a row house's style is less important than whether it speaks the street language. And that's what he set out to prove in 1994 with his own modernist Seaside townhouse—the last one he designed on Ruskin Place, and a deliberate departure from the classically inspired houses he had done across the square. Planning codes dictated that the footprint maintain the street wall as one volume. Gorlin conceived his corner unit as a solid block, but one that could be carved away and animated with lively forms, light, and shadow. He anchored the outer corner with a bright red exposed-steel frame but recessed one of the glass walls beneath the roofline—a move that created a portico for the entrance stair leading to the second-floor public areas. "What was important to me about the [study of the] townhouse was that it enabled me to understand that New Urbanism wasn't limited in style to traditional," Gorlin says. "It could be modern in style, and yet traditionally urban to the street wall."
His whirling staircase, visible through the façade's two-story glass curtain walls, gives a hint of the drama that unfolds once inside. Creating a distinct sense of arrival is tricky on these long, narrow houses, but he managed to make his entire house—dubbed Stairway to Heaven—a promenade. Halls and stairs move up through the house, crossing from one side to another, and come up for air on the roof deck, where they corkscrew up to a nautical-inspired crow's nest. "Every step is a threshold to another condition of circulation," creating movement through light and space, he explains.
"In each project," he continues, "there's a theme that becomes the touchstone and animating idea that everything, in a way, has to relate back to. At Stairway to Heaven, it's all about the path to the view of the sea. It's all about the circulation and winding up to this widow's walk, where you can see the Gulf of Mexico."

DIY #2: Gift Tags, Ribbon & Favor Boxes
For this DIY, you can choose thick or thin ribbon or both. The world is your oyster! You'll also need favor boxes and gift tag stickers.
Get the Look:
1. After you have enclosed your delightful favor within the box, cut a piece of ribbon to wrap around the box. The stylish possiblities here are endless: you can double wrap, use two different ribbon colors and different sizes as well.
2. You can choose to tie the ribbon in an elegant bow, or add a gift tag—a circle or square will both do nicely—to seal the deal. Most importantly, remember that good things come in small packages.

Saint Laurent Spring 2013
To say it was a scene laden with speculation and expectation is an understatement. Hedi Slimane, in case you've somehow missed it, is the designer who has been chosen to take on the mantel of Yves Saint Laurent's ready-to-wear from Stefano Pilati—a position that carries the weight of national significance for the French nation. Tout le monde of Paris gathered at the Grand Palais to witness the birth of the new era, a relaunch Slimane, who is a talented creative director and photographer, as well as an acclaimed menswear designer, has already rebranded with a new logo: Saint Laurent Paris.
And what a scene it was, up and down the front rows, as the audience sat waiting in a stark, black darkened box installed on an upper floor. There was plenty to look at. Front and center was Pierre Bergé, the man who was Yves Saint Laurent's business partner, and has mentored Slimane since the beginning of his career. Flanking him were Valérie Trierweiler, the Paris Match political journalist who is the French de facto first lady, the glamorous 47-year-old lover of the new Socialist president of the country, François Hollande, and Betty Catroux, the blonde inspiration to and co-conspirator of Yves over many years. In the rows were gathered great originals of fashion, Alber Elbaz (who himself passed through YSL before landing at Lanvin), Marc Jacobs, Azzedine Alaïa, Vivienne Westwood, Diane von Furstenberg, Kate Moss, and Jamie Hince.
It began with a cataclysmic, immersive overture of noise and visual sensation. The ceiling began to split and tip, black panels opening mechanically while rotating lighting rigs lowered into place. And then Slimane's top-secret thought processes were finally revealed to the pounding of a heavy-rock riff: not (as some had wagered) a brutalist severing with the past, but what amounted to a surprisingly respectful rebooting of everything Saint Laurent did for hippie rock chicks in the seventies.
Perhaps it shouldn't have been such a surprise. Hedi Slimane's sensibility is indivisible from music culture, and the girls he sent out, in their wide-brimmed hats, skinny, skinny pants, immaculately tailored short jackets, and billowy, chiffon dresses were totally in character as inhabitants of a glam-rock world. Young twenty-first-century heiresses to the women who, in another era, clustered in the wake of the Rolling Stones, migrating from Paris nightclubs to Woodstock to Altamont to Morocco.
Granted, through Slimane's lens, the atmosphere on the runway was darker and more sober than Saint Laurent's original high-fashion expression of the daze of free love and liberation. But yes, it had plenty of its own frisson of coolness and self-possessed sexuality. As a tailor of proven renown, he put forward a thorough argument for a modernized Saint Laurent jacket, cut to bell-hop length, with distinctively sharp lapels, precise shoulders, and disc-button details, shown in many fabrications, with white ruffle-front blouses and floppy scarf bows tied at the neck.
If Slimane had limited himself to showing tailoring in what is effectively his debut in womenswear, he'd perhaps have stayed within the predictions pundits. But he didn't: More than half of the collection dealt with Saint Laurent's heritage in chiffon. Balloon-sleeved, see-through, romantic maxi dresses swept purposefully up and down the runway, trailing dramatic capes and the occasional Moroccan-style hooded burnoose. It's easy to picture the kind of girls who will leap to wear such dresses, and the kind of situations in which they can fantasize lying languidly around in them at all the after-parties at Cannes, Venice, and rock festivals next summer. As a whole? Slimane's debut as a womenswear designer shone an unexpected light on him, not as a raging rebel, but as someone who declares himself, first and foremost, loyal to the house's founding principles. The dedication he left on the benches read, simply, "À Pierre."

The staff of Boomerang thank Erik Brown, New York Life Insurance Agent, for contributing this article.
A will is one of the most important documents you can create in your lifetime. Think of a will as the financial blueprint for the distribution of your assets after your death. Your will can clearly state who will be the guardian of your minor children and cherished pets, and who will inherit your assets when and under what conditions. Despite the importance of an estate plan that includes a will, 65 percent of Americans do not have a will, according to Lawyers.com's "Wills & Estate Planning Survey."
If you die without a valid will, the court has no way of knowing how you may have wanted to distribute your assets. In these cases, the state will make the decisions for you, according to the distribution schedule set forth in law, not necessarily what is best for you or the people closest to you. Without a will, your loved ones will likely have to hire an attorney and incur delays to determine who will receive your assets.
There are many myths that keep people from creating a legally binding and comprehensive will.
Myth: My assets are so small that a will is not necessary.
You generally are worth more than you realize. Even if some possessions do not hold great monetary value, they could hold an enormous amount of sentimental value. Failing to indicate in your will who receives these treasures can cause friction among family members that lasts for decades. Have discussions with your family members about which items are precious to them, and ensure everyone has something to remember you by.
Myth: When I die, my spouse will get all of my assets.
Any assets held jointly with right of survivorship automatically pass to the joint owner. However, assets with a beneficiary designation, such as IRAs, life insurance, and annuities, pass as stated on the beneficiary form. Questions to answer in your will include: What happens when your surviving spouse dies? What happens if your beneficiary form is outdated? Does your spouse have the financial skill to manage the family wealth?
Myth: My final wishes need to be set in stone.
The terms of a will can change as often as needed. Legal experts agree that you should reexamine your will periodically to make sure it is up-to-date. A will should receive a "checkup" whenever there is a substantial change in your life.
Myth: I can create a will on my own and save money.
"Do-it-yourself" wills often do not contain all of the components required by laws in your state, leaving it open to be challenged. If your will is challenged, not only do your wishes not get followed, your estate may have to pay for the legal costs of the challenge. The few extra dollars you spend now to make sure your will is done right can save thousands later.
Drafting a will is not an endeavor you want to tackle single-handedly. An estate-planning lawyer can help you:
Creating a will forces each of us to come face-to-face with our own mortality - and dealing with death is difficult. But it will be much more difficult for your loved ones if you don't have a will.

The AWUS036H works nicely with BackTrack out-of-the-box. I'd disable your internal wireless before booting BT. Since you're new to Linux & BackTrack, this will help reduce possible problems. Rather than use iwlist, use one of the tools in the BT distro for wireless stuff...aircrack suite, kismet, etc. They will take full advantage of your card.

Joan Jett removed from Thanksgiving Day Parade float
Listen to Joan Jett on iHeartRadio
Joan Jett has been forced to abandon plans to appear on South Dakota's float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade after the state's ranchers protested the vegetarian rocker, who has condemned livestock farming and is involved with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
On Saturday, Jett announced, "I've decided to switch from South Dakota to another float because people's political agendas were getting in the way of what should be a purely entertainment driven event."
She added, "I will remain focused on entertaining the millions of people watching, who will be celebrating a great American tradition."
It's expected that she will be moved to another float, although specifics have not been disclosed.
Jett's outspoken criticism of factory farming and ranching had drawn the ire of the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association, which expressed concern about her representing the state at the parade.
Another performer will take her place.
