In an effort to brainwash you even more with my weekend observations, I will be posting brief glimpses into players that have helped or hurt their evaluations in recent games early each week. I will stick mainly to seniors (as usual) unless another draft-eligible player jumps off the screen in a very positive or negative way. Keep in mind these are just off of a couple of exposures and not full evaluations, so no conclusions have been made. As always, you can send observations, comments, or criticisms to me on Twitter.
+ Ohio State DE John Simon - A four sack performance would land just about anyone on this list, but Simon's skills matter more than production. The senior lacks ideal size and length, but makes up for his limitations with leverage, excellent strength, and an outstanding motor. He will likely end up as a second day selection, but Simon could have a ceiling of Jason Babin.+ Tennessee TE Mychal Rivera - Off of last year's tape, I thought Rivera lacked a smoothness to his game and he repeatedly appeared to fight the football into his hands. This year, the Vol looks very comfortable as an inline blocker and working the intermediate and downfield areas. We expect Rivera to fill a second tight end role in the NFL as a third day selection and his game is only improving, especially after the catch.+ Penn State LB Gerald Hodges - We will touch on Michael Mauti later, but Hodges has elevated his game in recent weeks. Along with doing his best work in coverage, Hodges has started to get physical with blockers at the point of attack and knife through lanes to make tackles in the backfield. His pad level could be a bit lower, but Hodges is more consistently undercutting passes or running lanes to make impact plays.+ Wisconsin RB Montee Ball - After early season struggles, including two concussions, Ball is running better than ever. We questioned his vision prior to this year, but Ball has learned to run behind his less talented (than usual) blockers, utilizing lateral moves to find open lanes and knife through them. There has even been some talk of the Badger being the first running back selected in April. We disagree with that statement, but expect Ball to be a late second, early third day selection.+ Utah State CB Will Davis - A personal favorite, Davis has done masterful work in his first season as a full-time starter. Last weekend against Louisiana Tech, Davis was the first to intercept Colby Cameron this season, effectively ending a late first half drive in the endzone. On the play, Davis undercut his man and beat him to the catch point. His awareness and ability to stick and trail with his opponent gives Davis a great advantage. At worst, expect Davis to go in the second day.+ West Virginia WR Tavon Austin - 572 all purpose yards, what a game. We already knew about Austin's ridiculous open field moves and ability to force tacklers to miss. The hardest thing to do in the NFL is tackle in space, and Austin has a better skill set in that category than any other prospect. Most of all, we saw Austin take plenty of snaps in the backfield last weekend against Oklahoma. If he shows the underrated strength that Percy Harvin plays with in that role, the comparison could be more fitting than initially expected.+ Fresno State S Phillip Thomas - Thomas' production (eight interceptions, three touchdowns, four pass breakups, 10.5 tackles for loss) is outstanding, but his skills match up. He is at his best when covering the back half, either working sideline to sideline to undercut passes or trailing vertical receivers, turning his head and beating the opposition to the catch point. I have heard many NFL Scouts consider him (easily) the best safety prospect since Earl Thomas and Eric Berry.+ Kent State junior RB/WR Dri Archer - The best playmaker not getting enough attention, Archer shoots out of a cannon from the running back or receiver position, evading tacklers in the open field for big gains. Right now, he appears to run at a different speed than everyone around him, so a sliver of space can be taken to the house. We doubt Archer declares for the Draft, but keep his name in the back of your head for future reference.+ UCLA junior OLB Anthony Barr - The Bruin has really burst onto the scene as part of a talented defense. Barr doesn't possess refined technique and he loses too often when blockers get into his body, but his combination of length and closing speed is excellent. With his great production, Barr may depart to the NFL and we'd expect a day two selection at worst due to the obvious tools.+ San Jose State junior QB David Fales - Another underpublicized junior, Fales utilizes solid pocket movement and downfield arm to make good things happen. The Spartan may work his first read too long, but that does not prevent Fales from taking the check down or looking at his second option. Also, he isn't completely smooth in the pocket, choosing to wave the ball with a circular motion while holding it at stomach level, but everything is there for Fales to make an even bigger impact next year.- Virginia Tech WR Marcus Davis - By now, everyone has likely seen the video of Davis' blocking "effort". Perhaps more troubling is Davis' inconsistency, specifically with catching the football. His measurables and test scores are going to be outstanding, likely leading to a team falling in love with his athletic upside, but for every great downfield catch Davis juggles or drops another. In my opinion, some of those kinds of prospects make it, but many don't.- Ohio State junior DT Johnathan Hankins - Has anyone seen this guy? Coming over summer tape work, I absolutely loved Hankins as a prospect and what his potential might be. Lately, everyone else on that Buckeyes defense has impressed except for the big bodied junior. With Alabama's Jesse Williams and Missouri's Sheldon Richardson producing good performances on a very consistent basis, Hankins needs to end the season on a high note.- Penn State LB Michael Mauti - After our own Alen Dumonjic's excellent article, Mauti re-injured one of his knees, with speculation being another ACL tear. It is tough news for such a determined and aware player. Projecting where an injured player, especially one with the medical history of Mauti, will be selected in April is nearly impossible since medical tests are one of the key unknowns during the process. We hope a team takes a chance on him on the third day, because he is certainly a second day talent.

CONNOQUENESSING TWP — A Lehigh Gas Corp. employee was in West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh this morning after he was injured about 2:20 p.m. Wednesday as he worked on a sign at the B & E Mini-Mart on Route 68.
He was hurt when his head touched an electrical wire while he was high up in the bucket of a lift truck.
The sign is about 15 feet above the ground, and the electrical line is above the sign.
"We were deeply saddened to learn of the incident and immediately began investigating to determine what occurred and why," said Jeff Vaughan, a spokesman for the firm, in an e-mail.
The employee of the Allentown-based firm traveled to Western Pennsylvania with three to four crews to change gasoline station signs from Shell to Exxon at several businesses.
Buck Weber of Franklin Park, who also is a Lehigh employee, said the man was already at the B & E Mini-Mart when he pulled in.
"The lift was already above the roof (of the gas station)," he said.
He opened the rear doors of his van and then looked over at the man, he said, and, "I saw him just hanging over the bucket."
Weber then ran into the mini-mart where employees called 911. A customer who knew how to work the lift got the bucket to the ground.
The injured man was first taken by Butler Ambulance Service to Butler Memorial Hospital.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) — You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
State police are searching for whoever stole about 20 presents earmarked for needy children from a southwestern Pennsylvania church.
Pastor Ewing Marietta's church has a "tree of angels" listing the gender and ages of poorer children, for whom members of his Liberty Baptist Church buy presents. They were to be given out at a church celebration on Dec. 23.
Marietta says the woman who runs the program noticed they were gone when she returned Tuesday from several sick days. After checking to ensure the presents hadn't been moved or stored elsewhere, church officials called police Wednesday.
The North Union Township Church, about 35 miles south of Pittsburgh, is hoping to raise money to replace the presents with a Friday auction and a Gospel concert Saturday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Duke baseball team nearly erased a six-run deficit in the ninth, but No. 4 Florida State held on for the 9-8 victory to clinch the series Friday evening at Dick Howser Stadium.
Trailing 9-3 and down to its final three outs, Duke (31-23, 15-14 ACC) put a scare into the Seminoles with five runs on three hits and two errors in the frame. With two outs, redshirt junior Chris Marconcini's fly ball to deep right center came up just shy of a two-run homer as FSU centerfielder Ben DeLuzio corralled the ball on the warning track for the final out of the game.
DJ Stewart and Jose Brizuela combined for seven hits to help the Florida State (41-13, 21-8 ACC) cause. Stewart tied his career high with four hits, while Brizuela matched his career standard with three. The duo also combined for three runs and five RBI to power the Seminoles.
Duke scored lone runs in the third, fourth and seventh innings, but the Seminoles plated multiple runs in the bottom half of each frame to counter the Blue Devils and build the six-run advantage.
Redshirt senior Ryan Deitrich registered a solo home run, his sixth of the season, and two doubles to pace the Duke offense. Redshirt junior Chris Marconcini chipped in with two doubles of his own, while junior Andy Perez was 2-for-4 with a stolen base.
Florida State loaded the bases on a single and a pair of walks in the second before Drew Van Orden (5-5) fielded a Josh Delph grounder to escape unscathed. Deitrich then put Duke ahead with one swing of the bat, sending a 2-2 pitch over the wall in left. The long ball was just the third allowed by FSU starter Mike Compton (7-1) this season. Compton tossed 5.1 innings, scattering seven hits while allowing two runs.
Duke's first advantage of the weekend did not survive the bottom half after FSU plated a pair. Stewart's RBI double scored Casey Smit, who reached on a leadoff walk, to tie the game at one-all. Following a John Nogowski base hit, Brizuela lifted a sacrifice fly to center to give the Seminoles the lead.
Senior Matt Berezo delivered the clutch, two-out hit the following frame. Berezo's single through the right side scored Marconcini after the right fielder drilled his second double of the game off the right field wall. Duke nearly tied the game earlier, but Florida State gunned down Perez at the plate trying to score from second on Marconcini's double.
Florida State broke the 2-2 tie in the bottom of the fourth, scoring two runs on three hits. Delph and Stewart both singled, and Nogowski and Brizuela drove them in with a sacrifice fly and RBI base hit, respectively.
Senior David Perkins recorded his eighth RBI of the season to narrow the deficit to 5-3 in the seventh. Perkins' RBI groundout scored junior Grant McCabe after the centerfielder singled and reached third on a Deitrich double.
The Seminoles responded with authority in the bottom of the seventh, tacking on four runs for a sizeable 9-3 advantage. Back-to-back walks started the frame and Delph knocked a two-run double down the right field line. Stewart added his fourth RBI with a base hit and DeLuzio matched his teammate with an RBI base knock of his own.
Duke made it a game late with a five-run ninth. Following a Berezo single and Rosenfeld walk, Deitrich roped an RBI double to left. Freshman Cris Perez picked up his sixth RBI of the season with a sacrifice fly to plate Rosenfeld and Lumpa reached on an error to keep the inning alive. Betts laced his 19th double of the season to left, scoring both Lumpa and Perez to make it 9-8 prior to Marconcini's deep fly ball.
Van Orden ultimately suffered the loss, yielding four runs on seven hits over 4.2 innings. Freshman J.R. Holloway pitched 1.1 solid innings in relief, retiring all four batters he faced with two strikeouts.
Duke and Florida State wrap up the series Saturday at 1 p.m. at Dick Howser Stadium.

They do reproduce the images, and we'll trust their super vision when they say "suggest - in very small print - the eagerly anticipated sequel will be available between March and May next year," adding "this has not been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive."

Lyons residents are hoping to honor longtime teacher and coach Gerald "Gerry" Boland, who died in September after evacuating his home during the flood, but they want to do so without sacrificing town pride.
An online petition to change the name of Lyons Elementary School to Gerald Boland Elementary School began circulating Friday. The petition was written by resident and town trustee LaVern Johnson on behalf of Boland's former students who suggested the idea following the flood.
Despite the 143 online signatures received by Monday morning, the proposal was rejected during a meeting Monday with officials from the town of Lyons, the school board and St. Vrain School District Superintendent Don Haddad, Johnson said.
"It was decided that the people of Lyons did not want to lose the reputation that the Lyons Elementary School has earned over the past 130 years," Johnson said.
About a dozen Lyons residents opposed the renaming of the school through posts on a Facebook page, citing tradition.
Kendra Allen, a fourth-generation Lyons resident who has been living in Longmont since her home was damaged in the flood, said she supported honoring Boland but not changing the school's name.
The Lyons Elementary alumnae said her mother was a student of Boland's and her three sons have attended the school. She treasures the school name and the pride that comes with being a Lyons student. She feared that some of the tradition would be lost in the wake of a name change.
"I don't mean any disrespect to the Boland family, but there's this overwhelming feeling that it's not our town anymore, and this seems like just one more thing that isn't going to be Lyons," Allen said. "A lot has changed before the flood and since the flood, and this is just one more thing that wouldn't be the same."
Since dismissing the option to rename the school, a group of residents, including Johnson, are soliciting new suggestions for honoring Boland. So far, suggestions include renaming the school's gym or library, renaming the street in front of the school or dedicating the playground at the school where Boland taught for 30 years.
Suggestions should be emailed to Johnson at email@example.com.
The group is continuing to collect signatures on the petition at gerald-boland.com to show support for a memorial on or near the school grounds, Johnson said.
The suggestions will be discussed with Boland's family and presented to the school board during the Aug. 13 meeting in Longmont, she said.
Shauna Atkins, a former Lyons resident and student of Boland's, said she is disappointed about the decision not to rename the school.
"It's very sad because this was such a significant person to the community and athletic and school programs," Atkins said. "Even if not the school, something should be dedicated to this great individual."
Boland's daughter Amy Hoh said she does not understand why so many residents opposed renaming the school.
"I feel sad and I don't quite understand why it's not possible," said Hoh, a Longmont resident. "Dad raised us to believe that anything is possible, but then again my dad never did anything for the recognition, award or reward. He just did the right thing."
Naming the elementary school after her father would have been an appropriate remembrance since Boland spent so much of his life at the school and it was the last place that he was seen alive before his body was found a week after he went missing, Hoh said.
Boland's family is grateful that their father and husband will be remembered in some way at the school where he dedicated so much of his time to students, Hoh said. But the family does not need a plaque to remind them of the impact Boland had on his students, she said.
Dozens of Boland's former students and athletes have attended memorial services to show their appreciation. The family has received letters and emails full of positive memories about Boland. And in May, some students from the class of 1986 posted a sign of support in front of his home in Lyons, which is unlivable following the flood and set to be demolished soon, Hoh said.
"It would be really humbling to see his legacy recognized there," Hoh said. "But, regardless of what happens, we know how much his students appreciated what he did for them."

'Joe the Plumber' Still Doesn't Want Gays Near His Kids
Now that Republican Samuel Wurzelbacher (better known as "Joe the Plumber") is running for Congress, anti-gay comments he made two years ago are coming back to haunt him. Wurzelbacher recently appeared in a heated interview on CNN's Thursday morning show where host Zoraida Sambolin pressed the conservative about the statements as well as his qualifications, the Huffington Post reported.
Sambolin asked Wurzelbacher if he changed his mind about his feelings towards gays. In 2009, he talked to Christianity Today and said, "Queer means strange and unusual. It's not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that." He also said that he has friends who "are actually homosexual" and that they know he would not let them near his kids.
"So this is TMZ, this isn't CNN, is what you're saying?" Wurzelbacher asked Sambolin.
"Of course it's CNN," she responded. "These are things that you said, that I would like to know if you still stand by them or if you have changed your positions on them."
"Listen, in my dictionary, and everyone's dictionary in 1970s, the word queer did mean strange and unusual," he said. "There was no slur to it. Do you challenge that?"
Before the intense back-and-forth took place, Wurzelbacher answered a question about what he did for a living and said he built houses and "encouraging Americans to be informed about who they vote for." Sambolin then asked him about what qualifies him to run in Ohio's 9th Congressional District.
"What qualifies me? One, I'm an American citizen. Two, I'm very much involved in the process of what's going on," he said. "I guess my question would be, what qualifies the current politicians who are killing the country -- Republicans and Democrats alike. I'm sorry, it just seems like a silly question."
"People want to know what your qualifications are, your breadth of experience in order to lead," Sambolin said.
"My breadth of experience is that I've worked all my life," responded Wurzelbacher. "See these hands right here?" he said, showing his hands to the camera. "There's calluses on them. I've worked the last 25 years having to make results. ... Politicians live off the backs of broke taxpayers."
Towards the end of the interview Wurzelbacher said, "I'm allowed to have my opinions as an American, but it seems the left becomes very intolerant when you have an opinion other than what they state."
The gay conservative organization GOProud defended Wurzelbacher and Jimmy LaSalvia, the group's executive director, issued a statement.
"The left and their friends in the main stream media don't want to talk about the issue most Americans in this country today care about - jobs," the group said. "Instead, they want a culture war. They want a culture war because they cannot defend this President's record of failure when it comes to creating jobs and growing our economy. They hope to cynically distract Americans to protect President Obama and his liberal allies in Congress in November. The bottom line is that whether you are gay or straight, black or white, male or female, conservative or liberal, what matters most in these tough economic times is leadership in Washington that will work to create jobs for all Americans."
Wurzelbacher rose to fame during the 2008 U.S. presidential election when he questioned Obama about a small business tax policy. Obama said, "When you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." The right pounced on his statement, especially Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who worked the "Joe the Plumber" nickname into his campaign.

EVANSTON, Ill. – The ninth-ranked Duke women's lacrosse team was held to its lowest scoring output of the season in a 12-4 loss to No. 4 Northwestern Friday on a cold and windy evening at Lakeside Field. The Blue Devils fell to 9-4 on the spring with the loss while the Wildcats improved to 12-1 in a battle of top-10 teams.
Despite temperatures in the mid-30s and wet and windy conditions, the two squads went a combined 20-of-24 on clear attempts. However, Northwestern received five goals from Erin Fitzgerald and had nine different players record a point while goalkeeper Bridget Bianco and the Wildcat defense limited Duke to just four second-half scores on 14 shots.
Northwestern was efficient on the offensive end of the field from the start after Ali Cassera kicked off the scoring three minutes into the game. Teammate Erin Fitzgerald added a pair of scores as the Wildcats darted out to a 4-0 lead with 10 minutes gone in the first half.
The Duke defense then settled in, with juniors Molly Quirke and Taylor Virden forcing caused turnovers and freshman netminder Kelsey Duryea – the nation's leader in save percentage and saves per game entering the contest – recording a couple of stops. However, the Blue Devil offense struggled to convert despite some good looks at the net and Northwestern continued to dominate time of possession. Two more goals from the Wildcats' Fitzgerald and a free position score by Gabriella Flibotte with nine seconds remaining made it a 7-0 score at the break.
Senior attacker Makenzie Hommel got Duke on the board five minutes into the second period, notching her team-leading 34th goal of the season on a free position opportunity. Northwestern quickly recaptured momentum though, rattling off four more scores to go up by 10 at 11-1 with just under 17 minutes remaining in regulation.
The Wildcats continued to maintain possession before junior Maddy Morrissey broke through with a win at the draw midway through the half. Sophomore midfielder Erin Tenneson capitalized, firing one past Bianco to make it 12-2 with 12:40 left on the clock. A fast break by Hommel a short while later resulted in a goal by freshman Maddy Acton, who collected her 11th of the season. Sophomore Taylor Trimble added a score on an assist from Hommel with 15 seconds to go, but Northwestern would win by an eight-goal margin.
For the game, the Wildcats outshot Duke, 21-14, and held an 11-6 edge in draw controls. Ground balls were even in the contest with each team picking up 12. Duryea posted six saves in goal for the Blue Devils while Northwestern's Bianco finished with five.

BERKLEY — Local law enforcement officers and chiefs who either knew or worked under him say they remember former Berkley Police Chief Harold G. Ashley as a dedicated small-town chief with a sometimes dry sense of humor and a slightly idiosyncratic persona.
Ashley died Aug. 12 at the age of 72. He was Berkley's police chief from 1988 to 2004, having followed in the footsteps of his father, Harold Sr., who had been chief before him.
Known to friends and colleagues as "Buster," Harold Jr. spent a total of 40 years with the Berkley PD.
"He was old school, by that I mean he was very laid-back," said Berkley's current police chief Scott Labonte.
Labonte says he was the first person Ashley hired as a full-time officer. Up until then in 1988, he said, Berkley relied on a handful of part-time cops to help the chief take and respond to calls.
The department now has six full-time officers. The town's population, meanwhile, has grown through the years to about 6,500.
Labonte, 45, gives Ashley credit for being part of a group of local police chiefs, including former Taunton Chief David Westcoat, who had the idea that departments in the state's southeast region should be able to provide one another with mutual-aid support — including the power to make arrests in other police jurisdictions.
"They put together a document that stood the test in court," Labonte said.
As for his former boss's management style, he said Ashley was "firm but fair." He also says the former chief rarely took days off, and when he did take a vacation, it was usually abbreviated.
"He was always around, and you could call him for help anytime. It didn't matter of it was 2 a.m. or 5 p.m.," Labonte said.
He said Ashley carried the nickname "Buster" throughout his entire life: "He was a large kid," Labonte said.
Lori Neves said before becoming a Taunton policeman, she was a Berkley dispatch officer for nearly four years and a patrol officer in town during her final year in 2002.
"He was a character," Neves said of Ashley.
"He had his own ways and enjoyed protecting the town's people," she said. "He was a man of few words, but it was always interesting when he opened his mouth. He was just a nice, local guy."
Neves said one of Ashley's trademarks was his cigar, which was rarely ever lit.
"He would have his cigar hanging out of his mouth first thing in the morning," she said with a laugh.
Born and raised in Berkley, Ashley was a Taunton High School grad who lived his entire life in town raising a family with his wife Muriel.
He earned a bachelor's degree from Roger Williams College and a master's from Anna Maria College.
"I once asked him why he had such longevity in Berkley, and he told me, 'It's very simple: I never left town,'" said former Raynham police chief Louis J. Pacheco.
Pacheco, 66, said he met Ashley in 1973 when the two of them were in police academy together. He called Ashley "the quintessential, small New England town chief."
"He did everything, and he did it out of one room for a long time."
Pacheco said Ashley at one time also performed the duties of a court officer and for years was accustomed to essentially being on call 24 hours a day as needed.
"He would take his cruiser home. You have to remember that Berkley didn't have a dispatcher until the 1980s," Pacheco said.
Pacheco's predecessor, former Raynham chief Peter King, said Ashley was "old school" in that he knew everyone in town and wasn't averse, for example, to occasionally giving a ride home to someone who'd drank too much.
But King also said Ashley took law enforcement classes in order to "keep up with the times."
"He's going to be missed," King, 74, said.
Labonte said Ashley stopped off once in a while to say hello after retiring 10 years ago, but for the most part, enjoyed spending time at his family-owned Ashley's Greenhouse.
"That was his passion," Labonte said.
He also noted Ashley's prior involvement with the New England
Oxen Association. For many years, he said, Ashley raised oxen on his farm and would enter them in oxen-pull competitions.
"He had several pairs," Labonte said.
As the number of fairs dwindled, however, including the now-defunct Rehoboth Agricultural Fair, he said Ashley shifted his focus exclusively to his greenhouse.

Luther fell to 3-7 in the Iowa Conference after dropping the first two games of the four-game series against Simpson College in Indianola. The Norse were defeated by the Storm 2-1 and 7-6 in 10 innings.
In game one, all of the damage on the score board took place in the third inning. Luther took a 1-0 lead in the top half of the frame when Aldon Severson drove in Andy Briggs with a single to center field. Thanks to a Norse error, the Storm scored two unearned runs in the bottom half of the inning.
Alec Knop (1-3) was credited with the loss. Knop threw five complete innings, allowed five hits and struck out one.
Mitch Knippenberg, who was 3-for-5, drove in two runs in the third and a run in the ninth, that sent the game into the extra frame.
The two losses drops Luther's overall record to 7-11. Simpson is now 3-7 in the IIAC, 7-12 overall.
Tomorrow's double header is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m.

I've pushed back all my scheduled posts today, I just can't seem to work up any bile for the usual rash of benefit thieves and dangerous dog owners and third world doctors being allowed to practice.
Not today. Not when I've seen the sort of things I had to watch last night on Sky (I couldn't bear the BBC, Sky was bad enough, god knows..).
This image is being held up as something to be proud of - cops helping a woman to leap from a burning building.
Is anyone going to bother pointing out that they wouldn't have to do that if they hadn't been ordered by their spineless, useless, politically-correct career politician 'leaders' to hold back and let the scum burn buildings?
The PM and London Mayor have flown back from holiday to join the useless chorus of 'we must work with the community' and 'it's terrible, but that's 'deprivation and poverty' for you'.
The spark that gave the excuse for all this looks like being the gift that keeps on giving, with this report in the 'Metro':
The dead man's fiancée, Semone Wilson, 29, the mother of three of his four children, said: 'As soon as this came out in the news, the IPCC called me and said it had not been confirmed. But if it is true, trust me, the police are going to get it. We will be suing them because they effectively executed him.'No, you stupid woman (mother? Hah! A cat's a better mother...), he executed himself.
His worthless lifestyle, such as it was, was never going to end in anything other than a bullet, whether from a policeman's gun or one of his fellow street rat gangsta 'homies'.
The problem is not one dead street scum. The problem, as we saw last night, in not enough dead street scum. They should have been shot in the streets where they burned and looted last night.
And the problem is also one of 30 years of progressive politics, softly-softly policing, politically-correct education systems that churn out unemployable youths and pandering to sections of the community that now feel it's their god-given right to do as they please. Encouraged by the progressive elite, of course.
Well, sadly, it's not the progressive elite's houses and businesses burned and looted to the ground.
Sadly, it never is....

Mancuso to be Honored at Saturday's Men's Basketball Game
Lincoln- Nebraska senior outside hitter Gina Mancuso will be honored at Saturday's men's basketball game against Nicholl's State as she is the 2012 recipient of the Senior CLASS Award for volleyball.
Mancuso was chosen by a nationwide vote of Division I volleyball coaches, national volleyball media and fans. The award is given annually to the most outstanding senior student-athlete in Division I volleyball. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence - classroom, community, character and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
She is Nebraska's second winner of the award, as All-America women's basketball player Kelsey Griffin earned the honor in 2010.
A marketing major at Nebraska, Mancuso was named a 2012 CoSIDA First-Team Academic All-American and has been a two-time member of the Academic All-Big Ten Team and was honored with an Academic All-Big 12 selection in 2010. A two-year member of the school's student-athlete advisory committee, she most recently served as its community outreach officer. Mancuso is a member of the Husker Connect mentoring program and is a motivational speaker for a local foster care camps. She has also been an active volunteer in Nebraska's hospital visits.
Mancuso is a two-time American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American and was a unanimous All-Big Ten team selection as a junior and senior. She led the Huskers with 428 kills (a 3.48 kill per set average) and 34 service aces this year.

OK, this is working.
I had invited someone to this tree. They received the invite and accepted. I controlled who they had access to.
This person Added the parents, mother and father, and some details. They added me to the Trust list for the Father and not the Mother. I can see details of the Father, but no details for the Mother. I used the Wiki-Tree email to ask permission to view the mother, that was accepted and I could see the details.
I looked at my Watchlist, saw the two new additions, BUT, noticed that these two were listed as Open. NOT what I wanted. So, requested the profile manager, for these two people, to click on the Privacy setting for the, and change the Setting to the Red ICON (Private). Refreshed the Watchlist, and they are now Private.
I asked this person to look at my profile, and was able to see that I have two children. They saw that I had two children, but would NOT see any details on them.
Lesson Learned: Suggest to the Trusted List participants, that they go immediately to the Privacy Tab, to verify that the Settings are correct. In my specific case, they should be Private ( the Red ICON)

GREENCASTLE — Most athletes dream of one day reaching the pinnacle of their respective sport. Few actually make it a reality.
For Jared Smith, that feat is now just a phone call away.
A 2008 graduate of Greencastle-Antrim, Smith recently concluded his college football career at the University of New Hampshire, emerging as a highly-regarded defensive tackle by scouts from within the National Football League.
The attention translated into a prestigious opportunity, with Smith receiving an invitation to the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine held in Indianapolis.
During the four-day event which concluded on Tuesday, Smith had the chance to showcase his talents in front of executives, coaches and scouts from all 32 NFL teams, attempting to leave a lasting impression before the upcoming draft at the end of April.
Measuring in as a 6-3, 302-pound interior lineman, Smith was put under a microscope alongside the other 332 invitees, with prospective employers evaluating physical and mental attributes through workouts, medical exams, psychological testing and interviews.
His time of 5.08 seconds in the 40-yard dash placed him in the middle of the pack among defensive lineman in attendance while his 28 bench-press repetitions at 225 pounds was above average for players that shared the position.
Projected as a possible late-round selection in April's NFL Draft prior to the combine, Smith's performance likely maintained, or potentially even furthered interest in him around the league.
"I thought he represented himself well," said G-A head football coach Chuck Tinninis, who coached Smith in high school. "He's the first guy from Greencastle to ever be invited to the combine, which makes it even more special. We're really proud of him and we're all rooting for him."
During his senior season at New Hampshire, Smith recorded 40 total tackles, including 10 for a loss, while registering four sacks and two forced fumbles. His production earned him numerous accolades, headlined by an invite to participate in the Texas vs. the Nation All-Star Game earlier this month, an event that brings together draft-eligible prospects from across the country, thus acting as a hotbed for pro scouts.
Here, Smith showed he belonged against the nation's elite, finishing the game with two sacks while alleviating some concerns commonly associated with players hailing from FCS schools (Football Championship Subdivision), formally known as Division I-AA.
In football, New Hampshire is a member of the Colonial Athletic Association, a conference comprised of smaller universities considered to be a step below FBS programs (Football Bowl Subdivision).
Still, despite churning out far fewer NFL-caliber players then FBS conferences such as the SEC, Big Ten and Big 12, the CAA tends to produce a periodic gem, including Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco drafted out of Delaware.
Considering the inevitable presumptions of coming from a lesser-known school, earning an invite to the combine was Smith's first significant step toward defying the odds.
"He's a big, strong guy that possesses good speed for his size," Tinninis said. "He fell through the cracks of going strictly D-I out of high school, which is how he ended up at New Hampshire. Being from a smaller school, he held his own at the combine against guys from big-time programs. He's going to get a shot, whether he's drafted or picked up afterwards, so now it's just a matter of waiting for that opportunity."

- 2 CU-Boulder students arrested for feeding pot brownies to classmates, professor
Boulder prosecutors charged Thomas Ricardo Cunningham, one of the two University of Colorado students accused of sickening a professor and seven classmates last week with pot-infused brownies, with 18 felonies on Wednesday -- and the 21-year-old's attorney revealed he has been suspended from school.
Cunningham's co-defendant, Mary Elizabeth Essa, 19, is due in court Thursday, and court records indicate she will be charged with identical counts.
The two CU students each face eight counts of second-degree assault and eight counts of inducing the consumption of a controlled substance, one count of each charge representing each victim, as well as one count each of conspiracy to commit second-degree assault and conspiracy to induce consumption of a controlled substance because they are alleged to have worked together.
They originally were arrested on just four felony counts apiece.
"We reviewed the facts and filed the charges that my deputy felt were appropriate," Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett said following Cunningham's court appearance Wednesday. "Both defendants will get good representation and will work with my prosecutors to find a just resolution."
According to Colorado statute, a person commits second-degree assault if "for a purpose other than lawful medical or therapeutic treatment, he intentionally causes stupor, unconsciousness, or other physical or mental impairment or injury to another person by administering to him, without his consent, a drug, substance or preparation capable of producing intended harm."
A person commits inducing consumption of a controlled substance by "surreptitiously or by means of fraud, misrepresentation, suppression of truth, deception, or subterfuge, to cause any other person to unknowingly consume or receive the direct administration of any controlled substance."
Cunningham and his attorney, Philip Bienvenu, declined to comment on the case after his appearance at the Boulder County Jail's courtroom.
According to police and court records, Cunningham and Essa brought marijuana-laced brownies to their history class Friday as part of "bring food day," but did not tell anyone else in the class that the brownies were laced with THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
Later that day, assistant professor Celine Dauverd and several students complained of symptoms including dizziness, anxiety and loss of consciousness. Dauverd and two students were hospitalized after ingesting the brownies.
CU police said both Cunningham and Essa have admitted the brownies contained marijuana.
During Wednesday's hearing, Bienvenu told Boulder County Judge Noel Blum that Cunningham has been suspended from CU and will not return to school in the spring.
CU's spokesman could not be reached Wednesday afternoon to confirm details of Cunningham's suspension or say whether Essa, too, has been suspended.
Bienvenu added that he plans to file motion to amend Cunningham's bond to allow him to leave the state and return home where he could be "supervised."
Cunningham and Essa each are free on $5,000 bond.
Each of the second-degree assault charges, Class 4 felonies, carries a possible prison sentence of two to six years, while the inducing consumption of a controlled substance charges and the conspiracy charges, all Class 5 felonies, carry possible prison sentences of one to three years each.
Cunningham waived a status conference and the case is scheduled for arraignment on Jan. 25.

"Winter Blues" is 5:30-8:30 p.m. Friday in downtown Sturgis, and features live music and activities at 23 downtown businesses.
However, the Sturgitarod, a human sled race set to make its debut, has been postponed due to lack of snow.
"The race will be rescheduled for a later date when weather permits," said Andrew Kuk, assistant to the city manager.
The city of Sturgis also placed an ice rink across from Free Church Park for the winter season.
Current weather conditions make use of the ice rink questionable for "Winter Blues" night, but the rink will be available, weather permitting, throughout the winter.
It will be open for free skating from noon-dusk, Sunday-Thursday; and noon-8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
The rink will be open for hockey 8 a.m.-noon each day.

LOWELL -- Instead of just robbing the drug dealer of his drugs, a 29-year-old Lowell man is facing assault and armed carjacking charges after state police say he stole the drugs and the car they were stashed in.
In Lowell District Court, Daniel Daly, of 78 Beaulieu St., unit 1, was released on $500 cash bail after pleading not guilty to armed carjacking and assault with a dangerous weapon in connection with the Sept. 1 incident at the intersection of Enel and Caroline streets in Lowell.
State police state in court documents that on Oct. 1, Haverhill police arrested a man and woman for illegal distribution of heroin. The unnamed suspects told police that between August and September they were working as drug runners for an alleged drug dealer named "Junior."
Drug-runner duties included selling heroin to the dealer's customers in Lowell, Lawrence and Haverhill.
The alleged drug runners told police that Martin "Marty" Butt, who was murdered on Sept. 1 in Lawrence, had allegedly been one of his customers. A week prior to Butt's murder, Butt and another male, Daly, had allegedly robbed the drug runners of their drugs and their car, according to court documents.
The drug runners told police that they arrived at the prearranged location driving a green Acura MDC with a mechanical "hide" located beneath the dashboard where they stashed the drugs they were selling.
Butt and Daly allegedly got into the car to make the deal, but Daly allegedly pulled a gun from his waistband and subsequently ordered the drug runners out of the car, court documents state.
Police say Junior reportedly used his laptop to trace the location of the Acura. The vehicle was damaged and the drugs stashed in the "hide" were gone, according to court documents.
One of the drug runners was able to identify Butts and Daly from a photo array, court documents state.
Daly's next court date is Jan. 16 for a probable-cause hearing.

LONDON & NEW YORK– Columbia field hockey assistant coach Caroline Nichols has rejoined the United States National Team in London as they compete at the IHF World League Semi-Final in London from June 22-30.
Nichols and Team USA will look to secure a top-four finish at the tournament to qualify for the eight-team World League Finals in Argentina in December and solidify a spot in the 2014 World Cup.
"I am honored to be back in the red, white and blue representing USA Field Hockey here at the World League 3 Tournament," said Nichols. "London has done an amazing job setting up this event, and it is shaping up to be a great venue for some world class hockey. It will be exciting getting back out on the field with my teammates and even more special being back in London. I am looking forward to a very competitive tournament and hopeful USA qualification for the World Cup next year in Holland."
The U.S. has been put into Pool A with the likes of Argentina, China and Italy. The quarterfinals will take place on June 27, the semifinals on June 29 and the finals will be on June 30.
All of the games will be streamed live on the FIH YouTube Channel.
The U.S. qualified for the World League Semi-Final after a successful Round 2 campaign in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in early March. Team USA finished with a near-perfect record, defeating Brazil, Uruguay, Chile and Trinidad and Tobago and drawing Scotland in regulation.
Additionally, the Lions' head coach Marybeth Freeman has recently returned from a stint on the sideline as a manager/assistant coach in Brampton, Ontario where she worked with Team Alberta at the Senior Women's Championships.
"It was a great experience being up in Canada and working with the Alberta team for the Senior National Championships in Brampton," Freeman said. "There was some excellent hockey played over the week and I was excited to be asked to work with the squad. I think it's always important to be a student of the game and I'm thankful to have experienced some international insight to different tactics and philosophies."

Hundreds of utility crew members worked overnight and were continuing efforts on Saturday to restore Xcel Energy natural gas service to thousands of Boulder County homes and businesses, according to a spokesman for the company.
Xcel spokesman Mark Stutz said that by 11 a.m. Saturday, natural gas had been restored to about 1,250 of the customers affected by a Friday morning equipment failure that knocked out gas service to about 7,200 Xcel Energy homes and businesses in unincorporated Boulder County, including Niwot and the Gunbarrel area.
"As expected, daytime conditions are helping the pace of restoration," Stutz said.
Stutz said Xcel estimated it would be able to restore service to about 400 customers an hour, which would take the company into the early evening hours to complete restoration to the majority of customers that lost gas service on Friday.
Xcel officials had said on Friday night that the process of re-igniting gas pilot lights could take up to 24 hours.
Alyssa Ostrander said she and her life partner spent the night in a Boulder hotel after unsuccesfully waiting for about three hours for an Xcel worker to show up at their Gunbarrel home on Willow Lane.
Ostrander said in a Saturday interview that she'd been told that Xcel would be at her home at about 11 p.m. Friday. She said she'd sat in her car outside the home, with the engine running to keep warm, before giving up and spending the rest of the night at the Boulder Marriott.
She said she wa returning to her home on Saturday morning to check on a cat she'd left there but was uncertain about whether she could expect gas to be restored by noon.
Complicating the situation, nearly 4,000 Xcel customers -- mainly in the gas outage area -- also lost electricity at about 8 p.m. Friday, according to the energy provider. The electricity outage was much shorter, though, and the lights were back on by about 9 p.m.
Xcel's Stutz said the gas failure happened at about 6 a.m. at a major natural gas regulator station near Niwot. The regulator controls the flow of gas for the area, opening and closing the valve as needed, so when the equipment broke, it closed the valve and stayed closed.
The area affected runs roughly to North 95th Street on the east, North 47th Street on the west, Niwot Road on the north, and Jay Road on the south.
Xcel reported at 2:30 p.m. Friday that the regulator had been repaired, but that it would have to continue shutting down all natural gas downstream of the break before the flow of gas from the regulator could be resumed, so that gas didn't escape into homes or businesses. That flow was finally restarted at 4:45 p.m., though a lot of work lay ahead.
"We're hoping to get several hundred folks to get here quickly and begin restoring service this afternoon," Stutz said at about noon Friday. That included going home-to-home to restart pilot lights and make sure the home is getting an even flow of gas, without any air pockets.
Stutz confirmed Friday night that at about 8 p.m., 4,000 customers lost electricity, mostly in the Gunbarrel area, for an hour.
"This appears at this time to be a separate incident," he said. "This doesn't appear to be anything other than a power outage."
About 300 people were expected to be part of the gas restoration work, with the company calling in employees from Colorado, Minnesota and Wisconsin, utility workers from California and New Mexico, and assistance from other private companies.
Stutz said the crews would work around the clock and would call customers when Xcel was ready to do relighting in their area. Customers who do not already have a cell phone number on file with Xcel should call the company at 800-895-4999 to leave one, and should leave an outdoor light on when someone is home to let a crew in. The person meeting them must be at least 18 years old.
In a Friday afternoon announcement, Xcel encouraged customers to leave their homes for a warming center because of the length of time needed for repairs and relighting. Before leaving, Stutz said, customers should turn their water faucets to a slow drip to prevent pipes from freezing and to make sure the water is draining.
Stutz said on Saturday that all customers should know that someone who's at least 18 years old has to be at home or in the business to provide access for the Xcel workers restoring service.
St. Vrain Valley School District spokesman John Poynton said the Red Cross has contacted the district to see if Niwot High School could be made available as a shelter. Poynton said that the high school is available, but the district was waiting for word to see if the school will be needed.
On Friday night, the American Red Cross opened a warming shelter at Douglass Elementary School, 840 75th St., providing space for Xcel customers waiting for their gas service to be restored, as well as an area where they could take their pets. The Boulder Valley Humane Society also said it would accept pets.
Stutz said only one person was reported to have stayed at the shelter overnight, but he said it remained open on Saturday morning and was scheduled to close at noon. He said people continuing to need assistance should contact the Red Cross directly, at 303-772-7474.
Employees of affected businesses noticed the outage early Friday morning.
"It's getting chilly," said Mike Dinges, maintenance manager of Leanin' Tree Museum of Western Art at 6055 Longbow Drive in Boulder -- just southwest of the intersection of the Colo. 119 and 63rd Street.
Dinges said that at first, an Xcel representative told him service went out around 8:30 a.m. Friday, but "I saw a drop in my water boiler temperatures before 7."
"I have spots (in the building) down in the low 60s," Dinges said about 10:15 a.m.
When Seth Steele of Niwot Market came in Friday morning to find the stove not working, his first thought was, "What did we do?"
"At first, I figured we had done something wrong," Steele said. "Then there was gas in the line, but it was very slow. It was like when they shut the water off during the flood and there was still a little left. But now it's all gone."
The business remained open, though the loss of gas affected the prepared-food side.
The outage appeared to have hit everyone in Niwot, Steele said, but it didn't slow his business down.
"Everyone keeps coming in and talking about what happened," he said. "It's actually very busy. The high school kids are coming in, so it hasn't stopped things over there. It's pretty normal, steady business."
Poynton said that the SVVSD received no reports of outages at any schools.
Xcel said that if customers notice a "rotten egg" smell, they should leave immediately without turning on or off any electrical devices, or using a garage door opener or phone, since it could be the additive placed in natural gas to detect leaks. Once safely away, the resident can either call Xcel at 800-895-2999 or call 911.
Stutz said the relighting of pilot lights that began on Friday evening and continued through Saturday was the second round of trips to each individual home or business.

How to Keep Towels Smelling Fresh:
- You get out of a long, hot shower. You grab your bathroom towel off the rack. You go to dry your face and immediately toss the towel to the side. It doesn't smell fresh at all. So how do you keep your towels smelling fresh
- Wash your towels. If you want fresh smelling towels, you can't limit washings to once a week. You should wash towels every two or three days, washing in hot water
- Use vinegar to get rid of the mildew smell. If your towels get a mildew smell, use vinegar. For a large load, use ¾ cup vinegar. Add the vinegar to the water, and let it mix for a few minutes. Then add the towels. Do not add detergent to this washing cycle. Once the towels have gone through the complete washing cycle, wash as you normally do with detergent and fabric softener. Fabric softener is optional, but also helpful
- Remove the towels from the washer and immediately transfer them to the dryer. Nothing causes towels to smell faster than leaving wet towels in a washing machine over night. As soon as the washing cycle is over, immediately transfer them to the dryer. Add a fabric softener sheet for extra scent and softness
- Line dry your towels. Wash your towels and hang them to line dry. You can put them in the fluff cycle once they are dry to fluff them up. Avoid line drying, if rain is in the weather forecast
- Hang up used towels. Once you are done using your towel, hang it up so it can air out. Wet towels that are not air drying will get smelly much faster than towels that are hung up to air out
- Use baking soda with your detergent. Add baking soda, along with the detergent to your wash cycle. Wash in hot water and follow with two rinses. You may also add fabric softener if you wish. Do not use vinegar with the baking soda and detergent as the baking soda and vinegar will cancel one another out
How to Use a Hot Towel for Face Cleaning:
- Tiny holes in the skin, called pores, trap dirt and oil. The debris causes pimples, whiteheads and blackheads. Just cleaning the face with a facial cleanser won't stop debris from building up in the pores. Before cleaning, use a hot towel to open up the pores. Debris loosens up and has an easier time of coming out. The heat from the towel encourage the pores to expand. Hot towels and steam are used at most spas during a facial
- Fill the pot half way with water and set it on a stove. Turn the burner on medium. Boil the water
- Hold the towel with both hands over the steam. Do not set it on the pot or in the water
- Wait until the towel is moist, turn off the burner and set the towel on your face
- Let the towel sit for about five minutes. The heat from the towel opens up pores
- Pat your face with the towel to remove dirt. Don't rub; it causes irritation, which can lead to break-outs

TRAINING: A typical day of training would be morning conditioning - either sprints, pad work or circuit drill style training. Afternoon, I have team practice where the specifics are dialed in. this is where my standup and ground training mix. At night is standup pad work and maybe some sparring. Then it's wash, lather, rinse, and repeat.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started seriously training martial arts when I was about 15yrs old. I started training to break away from the wrong crowd and to learn discipline because at the time I had no guidance. My sensei, Paul Padilla, took me under his wing and embraced me as a son, seeing that I had no father figure, thus I stuck with martial arts.
What ranks and titles have you held? I am a brown belt in Kajukembo/lima lama which is the martial art that I was learning from my sensei at the time.
Do you have any heroes? My sensei was the closest thing I had to a hero.
What is your favorite technique? I have no favorite technique. I pride myself on simply finding what works for the situation I am in and executing that technique to win.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It is my dream becoming a reality. It has been a very long road to get here and now that I am here I have every intention of continuing on that road and seeing where it leads me.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I just got out of the Navy in October of 2008 so I am just now starting to go to college. I am going to try and get an English degree to be an English teacher.
What was your job before you started fighting? I have been in the Navy for five years. While in the Navy I was a breacher on the VBSS team. (VBSS - visit board search and seizure) while stationed in San Diego and when I was stationed here in Hawaii I was the Admiral of Pearl Harbor's escort/driver

"It's an in-state rivalry for us," OU head coach John Roddick said. "Their tennis program has always been very, very strong.

Huskers Finish at NCAA Regionals
The Nebraska cross country team competed in its last meet of the season at the NCAA Midwest Regional Friday in Springfield, Mo. The men's team finished 27th out of 30 teams, while the women's team finished 23rd out of 31 teams total.
Head Coach David Harris was impressed with the performance the women's team provided today.
"Our women got out in the beginning of the race better than they have all year," Harris said. "They tested themselves and it paid off with our best race of the year."
Junior co-captain Isabel Andrade led the team with a 74th place finish, running a time of 22:25.72. Sophomore Sarah Larson continued to add to her stellar season by finishing second on the team, 98th overall (22:44.44).
On the men's side Harris believes the young group have a long way to go, but have been showing promise all year long.
"It hurt our that Jarren (Heng) did not run due to injury, but we cannot use that as an excuse," Harris said. "We did run four freshmen so the future is very bright, but we need to compete better in the future."
Freshman Matt Bloch led the way for the men's team, finishing 107th overall, running a time of 32:59.98 in the 10k race. Junior Anthony Pittman finished second on the team, with a 114th place finish (33:06.70).
With the results of the races, both the men's team and the women's team will not be competing at the NCAA Championships next Saturday. Harris believes this season has been a great experience for the young Huskers. With no seniors in competition this year, the future is very bright for the Nebraska cross country team.

Energy Deregulation is Good for the Environment
One of the best advantages of living in an energy deregulated state is the number of options you have for receiving your electric utilities from renewable energy sources. Electricity providers in Wills Point understand how important finding renewable energy sources are, both to their customers and to the environment. Sadly, in states that don't have deregulated energy, there is less of a push towards renewable energy because there is no market competition driving electricity providers to find sustainable and affordable energy sources.
In deregulated energy states, on the other hand, every electric company is looking for new ways to make their Wills Point electric utilities more affordable, cleaner, and more sustainable. This is one of the benefits of free market competition, and it is already benefiting the environment.
More Companies Means More Innovation
Wills Point, TX Electricity providers are striving to find energy sources that are clean, less expensive, and more reliable. In states that aren't deregulated, electricity providers are much less driven to look for renewable energy sources. People have to buy their electric utilities anyway, so why should those electric companies bother improving their product?
In deregulated states, electricity providers simply can't do business like that because consumers like you are demanding energy from renewable sources. Threats of global warming are too terrible to be irresponsible with our energy sources anymore. As a result, each electric company is pushing forward to find renewable energy sources that are cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable than older forms of energy.
Take Advantage of Your Options
Wills Pointelectricity providers are fighting for your business. Call us today to find out which providers offer energy utilities from the most since sustainable sources. We can help you compare plans from electricity providers that utilize wind energy, nuclear power, hydropower, and a variety of emerging energy sources. Take advantage of the opportunity you have to choose a sustainable electric company by giving us a call today. We will help you find an energy plan that is affordable, reliable, and environmentally responsible. Call now to learn more.

This is the method I use for making fish and chips. It is a Norwegian alternative inspired by my visit to the wonderful Anstruther Fish Bar in Scotland the UK. I think that the malt flavor created by the whisky and malt extract is very suitable for deep-fried fish. If you are able to get hold of fresh juniper shoots they will make a great decorative topping for this meal.
Servings: 4
- 1
Heat the deep-frying oil to approx. 360oF, preferably using a deep-fat fryer with a thermostat. The best results are achieved by frying the potatoes and carrots at 370oF and the fish at 340oF, but for this you need two fryers.
- 2
Start by preparing the batter. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl using a balloon whisk without beating out all the carbonic acid in the water.
- 3
Cut the fish into finger-thick pieces and place in the batter.
- 4
Cut a small cross on one end of the each potato (the short end) and try to divide them into rough boat-shapes using your fingers. If they have a crinkly surface they will be much more crispy when they are fried. Divide the carrots lengthwise into four boats.
- 5
Fry the fish, potatoes and carrots. When the potatoes start to float up towards the surface they will be almost ready – this takes 4-5 minutes. During the last few seconds of the frying process you can add a few small sprigs of fresh juniper.
After frying, place everything on a tea towel or kitchen towel for a few seconds to allow any excess oil to drain away.
- 6
Serve with strong mustard that has been mixed with a teaspoon of well-mashed, pickled beetroot.

'Argo' Named Best Film At Britain's Oscars
LONDON -- Iran-hostage drama "Argo" continued its journey from awards-season outsider to favorite Sunday, winning three prizes, including best-picture, at the British Academy Film Awards.
Ben Affleck was named best director for the based-on-reality story of a longshot plan to rescue a group of American diplomats from Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and the film also took the editing trophy.
Affleck, who has made a remarkable journey from little-regarded actor to award-winning director, dedicated his directing prize to "anyone out there who's trying to get their second act."
George Clooney, a producer of "Argo," quipped: "I don't know what you're going to do for a third act."
Daniel Day-Lewis won his universally expected best-actor trophy for "Lincoln" - the only prize out of 10 nominations for Steven Spielberg's historical biopic.
Day-Lewis - a famously intense actor who reportedly stayed in character as the 16th U.S. President throughout the "Lincoln" shoot - cracked a joke as he was given his prize.
He said that in anticipation of having to make an acceptance speech, "I've actually stayed in character as myself for the last 55 years."
Emmanuelle Riva, the 85-year-old French film legend, was named best actress for Michael Haneke's poignant old-age portrait "Amour." It also was named best foreign-language film.
Made-in-Britain French revolutionary musical "Les Miserables" won four prizes, including best supporting actress for Anne Hathaway. James Bond adventure "Skyfall" spied some elusive awards recognition, winning trophies for music and best British film.
The British awards, known as BAFTAs, are increasingly glamorous - despite a well-earned reputation for dismal weather - and ever-more scrutinized as an indicator of likely success at the Hollywood Oscars. In recent years they have prefigured Academy Awards triumph for word-of-mouth hits such as "Slumdog Millionaire," `'The King's Speech" and "The Artist."
This year they spread their honors widely, with multiple trophies for "Life of Pi," `'Silver Linings Playbook," `'Amour" and "Django Unchained," as well as "Argo."
Kathryn Bigelow's Osama bin Laden thriller "Zero Dark Thirty" was shut out of the prizes, despite five nominations.
This season's movie with momentum is crowd-pleaser "Argo," which has been building steam with big prizes at ceremonies such as the Golden Globes, the Producers Guild and the Directors Guild of America Awards.
It is now considered a front-runner for the best picture award at the Oscars on Feb. 24, even though Affleck was not nominated for best director there.
"Argo" marks a change for Affleck, whose first two features as director - "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Town" - were set in his native Boston. In "Argo" he stars as Tony Mendez, a CIA agent who poses as a sci-fi filmmaker in a risky plot to rescue Americans in Tehran.
"I wanted to get as far away from Boston as I could," Affleck said. "I ended up in Iran."
"Skyfall," the highest-grossing film in the Bond series' 50-year history, was named best British film - rare awards-season recognition for an action movie. Thomas Newman's score also won the best-music prize.
Director Sam Mendes said he was accepting the trophy on behalf of the "1,292 people" who worked on "Skyfall."
"We all had high expectations for this film and it's fair to say all of them have been exceeded," Mendes said. "Here's to the next 50 years."
Quentin Tarantino picked up the original screenplay award for "Django Unchained," and Christoph Waltz was named best supporting actor for playing a loquacious bounty hunter in Tarantino's slave-revenge thriller.
Waltz said his victory was entirely due to Tarantino - "you silver-penned devil, you."
Tarantino also revealed that he plans another film that sets out to right an historical wrong, after anti-Nazi saga "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained."
"I think there is something about this that begs a trilogy," he said. "I don't know what the third one's going to be yet."
Hathaway said she was "overjoyed" at being named best supporting actress for her brief but powerhouse performance in "Les Miserables." She said she was so taken aback that "I almost walked past George Clooney without hugging him."
She also expressed sympathy for co-star Eddie Redmayne, who had been due to present an award but - co-presenter Sally Field informed the audience - was vomiting backstage.
"Feel better," Hathaway said. "I mean I'd be holding your hair back, but, you know..."
Writer-director David O. Russell won the adapted screenplay prize for "Silver Linings Playbook," a comedy about characters confronting mental illness.
"Les Mis" also took trophies for production design, sound and makeup/hair, and "Life of Pi" received honors for cinematography and visual effects.
Before the ceremony, stars including Clooney, Affleck, Hugh Jackman, Samuel L. Jackson, Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper braved a chilly rain that turned to snow outside the Royal Opera House.
For once it was hair, even more than frocks, that drew attention - many stars opted for dark colors, though Marion Cotillard defied the dull weather in a canary-yellow gown. Beards were de rigeur among male stars including Clooney, Affleck and Cooper, while Helen Mirren turned heads with a pink `do, sported in honor of breast cancer awareness.
Sunday's ceremony also saw director Alan Parker receive a BAFTA Fellowship, the academy's highest honor, for a career that includes "Midnight Express," `'Fame" and "Mississippi Burning."
