DURHAM, N.C. - Tied 2-2 after three innings, Virginia Tech outscored Duke 4-0 the rest of the way to secure a 6-2 victory in the series finale Sunday afternoon at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
The Hokies totaled 10 hits on the day, compared to nine for the Blue Devils, but were able to come up with key hits throughout the game, plating four of their six runs with two outs.
"Each game [this weekend] was different," said head coach Chris Pollard. "Friday, it was a back-and-forth affair. Yesterday we walked too many guys. The difference in today's game was that [Virginia Tech] got hits with two outs and we didn't. Four of their runs came with two outs. We had the same opportunities four times when we had guys out there with two out and we didn't come up with the hit. That was the difference."
Junior right-hander Robert Huber (2-2) struck out a career-high eight batters, but the Plano, Texas, native took the loss after allowing three runs on six hits over 5.2 innings. Virginia Tech's Joe Mantiply (1-0) recorded the win, allowing two runs on six hits. The Hokie left-hander struck out three in five innings of work.
Sophomore second baseman Andy Perez completed an outstanding weekend with a 3-for-4 performance, including two doubles and a triple, today. Over the three-game set, Perez went 8-for-14 (.571) with two doubles, a triple and a home run, good for a 1.071 slugging percentage.
Perez continued his first inning success with a leadoff triple to center field in the bottom of the first. The Roswell, Ga., native, who has reached base in the opening frame in five straight games, raised his average to .461 when leading off the first inning for the Blue Devils.
"If we could clone him we'd be in good shape" Pollard said. "He's going up there and giving us really competitive at bats. That's what a lot of hitting is about. It's a will and a want-to. Right now he's going up there and he's got a lot of fight when he gets in the batter's box, and we need more guys to fight like that."
The Perez triple would pay off for Duke as he scored the first run of the game a batter later. Senior Jeff Kremer laced a base hit through the right side to put Duke on top, 1-0.
Virginia Tech responded to the 1-0 deficit with a pair of runs in the top of the second. A single and two walks loaded the bases with two outs before right fielder Kyle Wernicki delivered a two-run base hit through the left side to put the Hokies up, 2-1.
Duke put another run on the board in the bottom of the third to tie the game at two-all. Freshman Kenny Koplove led off with a single, then advanced and second and third on back-to-back groundouts to second. That brought junior Mike Rosenfeld to the plate with two down, and the Blue Devil captain came up with the RBI single to tie the game at two runs apiece.
Following a pair of scoreless innings, Virginia Tech regained the lead in the top of the sixth. Huber hit Mark Zagunis to start the frame and the Hokie designated hitter reached third on a Duke throwing error as he stole second. Second baseman Brendon Hayden drove in the go-ahead run with a single up the middle.
The Hokies added a fourth run in the seventh on a Tyler Horan solo shot to right field. Center fielder Andrew Rash drove a ball over the left field wall to lead off the eighth, extending Virginia Tech's lead to 5-2. Hayden followed with a double and would ultimately score the Hokies' sixth and final run after a Perez two-out base hit.
The Blue Devil offense was unable to get anything going off Hokie right-hander Clark Labitan, who came on in relief in the sixth. A fifth-year senior, Labitan struck out four while giving up three hits over four scoreless innings for his fourth save of the season.
Next up, Duke faces in-state opponent Charlotte at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park Wednesday at 6 p.m. The Blue Devils will then travel to Clemson for a three-game series over the weekend, starting with a 6:30 p.m., game Friday.

He came right back with a commanding performance in the consolation quarterfinals, beating Joshua Mohr of Air Force, 6-1. Fighting for a spot in the consolation championship bout, the Port Orchard, Wash., native battled Ohio's Phillip Wellington tough, but came up just short in a 4-2 decision.

University of Colorado officials say they are dedicating an unprecedented level of commitment and resources to hiring the best football coach they can find and they hope have that person in place soon.
Cincinnati coach Butch Jones withdrew his name from consideration from the job Thursday morning, turning down a five-year contract worth approximately $13.5 million after being courted by CU for a week. He would have been the highest paid coach in school history if had accepted the opportunity.
By late afternoon, Jones was suddenly the primary target in the search for a new coach at the University of Tennessee and CU officials were being criticized by fans and media members for allowing their top target to slip away.
"Amid the very competitive environment for college coaches right now, it is vital for CU to get the right fit: a coach who can take our program to new levels of success, who embodies and endorses our values, and who is committed to taking us to the highest levels of competition in the Pac-12 Conference," Chancellor Phil DiStefano said in a statement. "We are not deterred in our process of finding this special coach and our search continues."
School spokesman Bronson Hilliard provided more details on who is involved in the search and interviewing candidates and also defended the administration and its commitment to athletics.
Hilliard said athletic director Mike Bohn is responsible for identifying candidates for the job with the help of paid consultants and his team in the athletic department. Once a candidate such as Jones commits to an interview, others join the process and take part in the interview. They are professor Liz Bradley, Robert Boswell, vice chancellor of diversity, equity and community engagement, and George Solich, an alumni and one of the athletic department's biggest financial contributors.
Hilliard said DiStefano and president Bruce Benson also are involved in interviewing candidates.
Hilliard said the school did not receive a detailed explanation from Jones for why he turned down its offer. He was asked if an erroneous report by the Denver Post had a negative impact on talks with Jones.
"You would have to ask Butch Jones that question," Hilliard said. "While those reports were unfortunate, those things happen in the modern coach searching environment. They happen all the time."
The Post reported Wednesday night that a source confirmed CU had agreed to terms with Jones and Jones would be the next coach to lead the Buffs. The school and Jones quickly denied the report and Jones walked away from the offer Thursday morning.
Hilliard has been a part of numerous searches at the school and previously covered CU searches as a journalist. He described the search for the 25th full-time football coach in school history as, perhaps, the most coordinated and purposeful search he has seen.
"We had our people on the same page. We had our ducks in a row. We had our finances lined up. We had our candidate identified," Hilliard said. "We had everything that people say they want in a search. It just so happened that that candidates turned us down and made the decision that he thought was in the best interest of his family apparently.
"I don't think in anyway that is a reflection of failure on anyone's part."
The university was blistered with criticism on talk radio throughout the day Thursday and message boards and fan websites were filled with angst over the state of the program and finding a good coach to lead it.
Hilliard said the objective is to hire the best coach possible as soon as possible but that the school doesn't control all aspects of the process and coaching searches can be unpredictable.
"We want a coach who wants to be here," he said. "We think it's a great job. We think it's one the best jobs out there. It's a great campus. It's a program in a fantastic conference. It's a program with a proud and storied history. We acknowledge fully that in recent years we've had problems and we've had challenges that haven't been met. Nobody has any illusions about that."
One of the most common criticism from CU fans these days is directed at school administrators such as DiStefano and Benson by fans who don't believe they are fully supportive of athletics. Hilliard said that just doesn't hold up under scrutiny.
Hilliard said the school wants to compete at the highest level in all of the sports in which it competes. He said Bohn, DiStefano and Benson are using the same strategy to rebuild football that they used to improve the basketball programs. Hilliard pointed out that Wednesday night the school hosted the largest crowd for a men's basketball game in school history as CU beat Colorado State.
He said the school had been building toward such a night for years, beginning with a strategy for improving the basketball programs put in place by Bohn years ago.
"How can it be that an administration is not committed to athletics and doesn't know what it's doing when it has one of the most successful up-and-coming basketball programs in the country right now in one of the best conferences?" Hilliard said. "It was the same people at the table then working out a long-term strategy, making the administrative commitment to facilities and fundraising with donors and engaging with fans and changing the fan experience and getting good coaches and in each case those coaches made progress that was measurable in each year.
"The answer with football is, we're working along the same paradigm."
And the search goes on.

- Brother of Longmont kidnapping suspect says he doubts father's involvement
- May 26:
- Longmont kidnapping suspect Monty Turner arrested in Manitoba, Canada
- Grandfather arrested, police continue hunt for father in kidnapping of Longmont boy, 3
- May 25:
- Longmont police continue looking for father accused of kidnapping son after shooting mom with a Taser, pepper spray
DENVER -- Luke Turner turned to Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur and pointed out all of the cameras.
"They are taking pictures," he said to the commander, who responded with a broad smile and nod.
"I like pictures," the 3-year-old concluded definitively.
Mother Brandy Turner told assembled media at Denver International Airport that her son is confused about the past few days, but he enjoyed a plane ride from Canada.
Luke Turner has been big news from Colorado to Manitoba, Canada, since he was kidnapped from his Longmont home on Saturday morning. Police believe his father Monty Turner broke into his estranged wife's home, assaulted her with a stun gun and pepper spray, and took Luke with the help of Monty Turner's father, Ronald Turner Sr. Police and the FBI tracked Monty Turner to a Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, motel and arrested him on Sunday. Luke was found safe.
Satur would not say just how the FBI reunited the mother and son on Tuesday, but Brandy Turner flew from Denver to meet him, likely in Minot, N.D.
She said she didn't tell anyone about her plans and simply followed police even though she wasn't quite prepared for travel. She said she only briefed her teenage daughter with scant details. She said Luke was happy to hear news that he was headed home to Colorado.
"I think he was, like, 'Mommy! Am I going home?'"
She said she is relieved to have him back. He stayed planted in her lap, offering photographers smiles and various expressions throughout the brief news conference.
Brandy Turner said she plans to seek police advice to keep Luke secure in the future and professional advice to help Luke cope.
"I intend to get some good solid advice on how to handle his questions," she said.
She added that she never intended to keep Luke from his dad and that the ordeal was unnecessary.
Mainly, though, she said she wanted to thank the police, FBI, those in Canada who cared for Luke until she was able to reach him and "the thousands of people who have been praying for him and for our family."

No. 19 Colorado is an imperfect 6-0.
Head coach Tad Boyle warned the Buffs after Tuesday night's wild 85-80 double-overtime victory over Texas Southern that the record will be 6-4 "in the blink of an eye" if they play at this level.
The Buffs are now the hunted. And the Tigers (1-6) from the SWAC almost brought home an impressive pelt.
"You can just feel the expectation level going up with this program," Boyle said. "And our guys have to handle it better."
The good news is Josh Scott continues an impressive start to his collegiate career. The 6-11 freshman put together his first of what will be many double-doubles (18 points, 12 rebounds) at CU and scored the first five points of the final five-minute period to give the Buffs some breathing room.
"If there was a breath, it was a small one," Scott said. "Because they were hitting threes."
Especially Omar Strong. The senior sharpshooter led Texas Southern with 39 points, knocking down 9 of 21 shots from well beyond the arc.
Spencer Dinwiddie, Chen and Askia Booker all took turns defending Strong and were able to cool the 5-9 guard off just enough after he blistered them for 20 points in the first half.
"That last shot of the game pretty much tells the tale of the whole night," Dinwiddie said of Strong's basket as time expired that was taken from somewhere near Superior. "He shot a 35-footer with his head down. He looked down at the floor, at my shoes, and then shot a 35-footer and didn't hit net.
The Tigers finally ran out of gas and went nearly three minutes without a point down the stretch.
Now CU will face a tough stretch -- at Wyoming on Saturday, a showdown with Colorado State next Wednesday in Boulder, a reunion with former Big 12 rival Kansas in Lawrence on Dec. 8 and another tough road trip to Fresno State on Dec. 12.
"If we play like we did tonight, Colorado State is going to beat us by 20 and they're going to out-rebound us by 20," Boyle said.
Booker's rainbow 3-pointer as the shot clock expired gave the Buffs a 71-68 lead with 41 seconds left in the first overtime.
But Law Danner-Johnson forced more bonus basketball with a 3-pointer with 11.4 seconds left.
Strong scored seven quick points in the first overtime and gave the Tigers a 66-63 lead with a deep 3-pointer.
Scott answered with a put back and Booker gave CU a 68-66 lead with an old-fashioned three-point play.
Strong was fouled on a 3-pointer and made 2 of 3 free throws to tie the score with 1:15 left.
"We didn't crumble," Dinwiddie said after scoring a career-high 24 points.
The Buffs trailed 39-26 with 9.3 seconds left in the first half.
Booker's 3-pointer allowed the home team to carry some momentum into the second half.
CU cranked up the defensive intensity and scored 11 more unanswered points to take a 40-39 lead on a layup by Andre Roberson with 15:36 remaining.
"We couldn't sustain it," Boyle said. "Some of that was Texas Southern. My hat's off to them. ... The story tonight is Texas Southern. They played their heart out and in some respects deserved to win."
The Tigers weathered the storm and took a 50-48 lead on a 3-pointer by Raymond Penn with 9:02 to play.
Dinwiddie answered with a big shot from behind the arc on the next possession and gave CU a 56-50 cushion with another 3-pointer.
But Roberson fouled out with 1:30 left and CU clinging to a 59-56 lead.
"Without Andre we're a different team defensively," Boyle said after CU escaped with a win despite only a 46-45 edge on the glass (Roberson had 12 rebounds in 29 minutes).
After Booker missed badly on a 3-pointer, the Tigers tied the score 59-59 with 42 seconds remaining on a basket by Fred Sturdivant.
The Buffs did not get a shot off on their final possession of regulation, and Strong missed a mid-range jumper as the horn sounded.
CU trailed 39-29 at the intermission after allowing Strong to score 20 points (18 on six 3-pointers).
The Tigers shot 50 percent from the field while the Buffs built a brick house (7-for-23, 30.4 percent) and turned the ball over nine times.
"Can't repeat that," Dinwiddie said when asked what Boyle said at halftime.
CU was able to stay within striking distance by connecting on 14 of 17 free throws in the first 20 minutes.
Dinwiddie finished the game 16-for-18 at the charity stripe. Booker added 15 points but was 4-for-15 shooting.
The Buffs will put their national ranking on the line in a true road game for the first time on Saturday aagainst the Cowboys in Laramie, Wyo. (8 p.m., Root Sports).

BioWare Social Network has a summary of the first magazine review of Mass Effect 3, which offers impressions of BioWare's action/RPG sequel. It also offers perspective on how long the game should last, saying the main quest runs for about 15-20 hours, which amounts to about 40 hours of total playtime, saying "side missions are vital to amass enough opposition to the Reaper threat." They also note the game includes about 90 minutes of cutscenes, while also offering impressions of the game that do not involve clock-watching. Thanks Computer and Video Games. On an interesting side note, while noting the game's preorders are well ahead of its predecessor's, MCV also points out that Destructoid recently put on a green visor to do some accounting to tally up what it would cost to get all the DLC planned for Mass Effect 3. This results in an eye-popping $869.91 price tag. Part of the reason this ends up so inflated is because some of it is bundled with Razor hardware, though this illustrates the problem the plan presents to a completionist. Finally, if you are in need of some marketing, Game Informer has a commercial for the game.

iPads in the Field
As energy efficiency becomes an ever more important factor in a home's value, developers and homeowners alike need assurance that their energy investments actually produce the returns they expect. Enter Builders Energy Rater, a home energy rating company that has created a custom FileMaker solution (that run on iPads) to streamline the process of collecting and analyzing home performance data.
"With FileMaker on iPad, we capture data in the field and import it directly to our modeling software—no paper required," explains Charles Ballard, rating administrator at Builders Energy Rater. "This saves us a tremendous amount of time and enables us to tell customers right off if there are deficient situations that must be corrected before construction can continue."
Builders Energy Rater is nationally certified in EPA's Energy Star program, RESNET's HERS score, and USGBC's LEED system. Formed as an offshoot of San Antonio, Texas-based Key Insulation, Builders Energy Rater has rated over 6,500 new homes in the San Antonio and Austin markets since 2006.
How It Works
Leveraging the capabilities of the FileMaker Platform, Builders Energy Rater's inspection management system enables the company to create new types of energy-rating services based on updated regulations and link them with program-specific tasks that must be completed to comply with the latest industry regulations. Each task and its requirements are also associated with a set of skills required to successfully complete the task and assigned to an employee with the appropriate certifications.
When field inspectors sign onto their iPads, they are immediately presented with their tasks for the day. As each task is completed, the data is uploaded to FileMaker Server and exported directly into the company's modeling software, which estimates the amount of energy a house will consume. Office employees can also access the energy inspection management solution from their desktops via the Internet.
"Construction happens in specific stages beginning with insulation first and then dry wall. So, if the tasks aren't completed when due, then it might not be possible to obtain the data later," Ballard points out. "With FileMaker, we can make sure that all tasks are scheduled and completed on time so we don't miss a step."
Greater Office Efficiency
Delays of even a day in house construction can be costly. According to Ballard, the average time to rate a house is traditionally 5.3 hours, but with the new platform he expects to reduce that time by up to 20%. "The largest area of improvement is in administration," he says. "We have eliminated scanning paper forms and re-keying data into the modeling system. And, we're improving accuracy, too, by the use of intelligent forms that provide the inspector with default data that can be altered as needed, and that review changes to ensure the information is accurate."
Because all the field inspectors have iPads, unusual conditions can be photographed to provide a better understanding of the situation, resulting in fewer return trips. Photos taken are automatically stored with the right form and linked to the appropriate project.
Raters in the office also benefit by having much of the field data imported directly into the modeling software, without manual data entry, providing more complete information in less time. "All [of this] translates to greater efficiency and higher quality service to our customers," says Ballard.

2013 Street Faire bands:
June 14: Red Hot Louisiana Band
June 21: Young Dubliners
June 28: Richie Furay
July 12: BoDeans
July 19: The Samples
July 26: Samantha Fish
Aug. 2: Tab Benoit

The Louisville Friday Night Street Faires have come a long way.
More than a decade ago, scarcely a couple hundred people turned out to watch local bands perform on a 20-foot-long flatbed fold-out trailer along Spruce Street. The summer series, sponsored by the Louisville Downtown Business Association, now draws thousands of people weekly to Front Street and boasts national acts at the Steinbaugh Pavilion.
"On Friday nights we'd take that trailer down, fold it open and have local bands play there. I think at first we had 10 vendors at most," said Arlin Lehman, a former Louisville resident and DBA member, who was instrumental in launching the Street Faire. "In that first year if we got a couple hundred people on a Friday night, we were happy. We didn't even have a sound system. That first year was very sparse."
The trailer was completely equipped with chairs, tables, tents and an awning, said Street Faire manager Ronda Grassi, and every Friday night Lehman would drive up with the trailer hitched to his truck and set up for another fun evening downtown.
Grassi said the faires have been operating for about 13 years -- when you count the early years on Spruce -- but 2013 marks the 10th anniversary celebration for the Friday Night Street Faires at the Steinbaugh Pavilion on Front Street.
The Louisville DBA raised around $70,000 to rehabilitate the Steinbaugh Pavilion that was once a burned out barn and later used as a warehouse for the former Steinbaugh Hardware store that was located on Main Street, Grassi said. The property was later sold to the city, but DBA members and residents wanted to raise the money to create a pavilion to house the Street Faire bands and in turn create a venue for city use and community events.
Grassi feels the Friday night faires have grown into what they are today because of the event's roots.
"I think the (Street Faire) is what it is because of the way it started and the spirit of volunteerism. We did it for the fun of it and there's a purity in that that creates a little magic," she said.
C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band will help Louisville kick off the milestone anniversary at this summer's first Friday night faire on June 14, with the sounds of zydeco, blues and boogie, or what Chenier calls "happy feet music."
C.J. Chenier's father Clifton, known as "The King of Zydeco," fronted the band that evolved into the Red Hot Louisiana Band from the 1950s until he died in 1987. CJ., who at that time was playing saxaphone, adopted the band and got more serious about the piano accordion, the instrument Clifton played.
Clifton created modern zydeco by mixing Cajun and French two-steps and waltzes with blues, rhythm and blues and rock and roll.
C.J. has played the Friday night faire a few times, he said, and when he learned this summer's series marked the 10-year anniversary, he had to be part of the music lineup.
"We've played a lot of places ... but Louisville is more like a big old family. Everyone's there to have fun," he said during a phone interview from his Texas home on Friday, June 7. "We try to bring a whole lot of joy and happiness. When (the crowd) goes home, they're going home energetic and happy because they have such a good time."
The band also includes Glenn Griffin on bass, Selwyn Cooper on guitar, Graylin Hoffman on drums, "Young Buk" on washboard and John Polansky on percussion.
Chenier said he looks forward to playing Steinbaugh again, and getting people out there to dance.
"I never plan a show, I just plan on people having a good time," Chenier said. "I'm always ready when it comes to music. I don't have to prepare."
C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band is one of many national acts to grace the Steinbaugh Pavilion.
Steve Mesple, co-owner of Louisville's Wildwood Guitars, booked the Street Faire bands for the first several years.
Lehman said in its early years, the event hosted local bands, mostly from Louisville and Lafayette, and then began to showcase regional bands. They eventually made the leap to national bands with Mesple's connections.
Mesple said as the budget grew, he was able to reach out to those popular national acts. But it was key to try and catch the bands during a tour so he could negotiate a lower price and they could swing through Louisville for a performance.
"I was tasked with finding great entertainment ... and that was a real labor of love for me. I can still remember the first concert where I felt the Street Faire had arrived. It was Hazel Miller, local legend," he said, adding that faire-goers had come to the event 90 minutes earlier to try and reserve a close seat to see her.
He credits bands like Hazel Miller, Chris Daniels, Firefall and The Subdudes in helping launch the Street Faire musically.
"I think the Friday Night Street Faire is one of the finest community-sponsored musical events in Colorado," he said. "It's musically inspired and a very special event for all. Now it has turned into a spectacular event that needs no promotion or praise."
Louisville's Gravity Brewing will sell a special 10th anniversary Orange Blossom saison at the Street Faire, and Avery Brewing will have an IPA and White Rascal on tap as well as a fourth tap that will rotate each week.
New this year, a handful of Louisville restaurants will serve food at the faire in addition to the more than 50 vendors offering food, arts and crafts, jewelry and more.
The Friday Night Street Faire kicks off June 14 and will run through Aug. 16, and is free and open to the public. There will be no Street Faire Friday, July 5. The faire runs 5 to 10 p.m. with music from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

The old feedback threads won't go any where, it will just be locked.
I have to say I LIKE that way the PBN feedback system currently works. I think it maybe based off the iTrader plug in with some options turned on or custom coded into it.
As the guys work through things adjustments will be made to the system to make things work smoother and add features.

AO: Things are looking really good. I was able to blend the old AO with the new vbulletin 4.2 style quite well. If anyone is interested I still need help with status icons, ranks/badges, favicons, etc. Feel free to send me a PM if you want to help out!!
If you need more people to help with creating graphical images, let me know. I can also do 3D models if needed.

I really like some of the elements of the 2013 styling, but it's still too dark for every day use. A style like that which uses light grey as a background field would brighten it up, but keep it subdued enough to be easy on the eyes. When I see an all-black forum I instantly think "video game."
Right now the 2005 styling is my favorite not because it looks the best, but because it hits that happy medium of being too bright and too dark.
As probably the first to ask about doing this, thank you again guys for taking the time to put all this work in.
The 2005 is looking very much like AO. I think if you could get the background of the post text blocks just a touch darker (or maybe a little more color), just something to reduce the overall contrast between that and the overall background just a little bit more (without washing it out like the 2003 template or lightening up the background) it would be darn close to where we left off on the old forum.
I don't know if the web design flavor of the month is super dark like the 2013 template or the trend is still on the glaringly ( ( :cough: apple :cough: ) white, but from style guide studies I read many years ago, for the average person, light/colored text on black background (think old b/w or green/yellow screens) is actually worse on the eyes long-term than the reverse. Not that I mind honestly either way, but just thinking on making everyone's use of the site most enjoyable.
Last, the 2013 is maybe too far off from the recognized "brand" that is AO to risk losing some of that branding? Don't know how important that is overall, but just another $.02.
Thanks again for all your hard work!
Well, the mods here can set one standard default but allow users a choice of which one they want to use.
The good part is that it comes with a pretty good mobile template AND if Tom activates ForumRunner, we'd have a native Android/iOS app for reading the forum.
The 2005 template looks nice!
I have nothing good to put here...........

"Germany loves the famous has-beens," a character says in Anna Winger's new novel,
This Must Be the Place (Riverhead, 303 pp., $24.95) annawinger.com/book.html. "Bryan Adams is starting up a fashion magazine here. And how about David Hasselhoff singing on the Berlin Wall, New Year's Eve 1989, wearing that electric leather jacket?" Winger's first novel involves a third-grade teacher in her mid-30s who finds herself geographically and emotionally adrift after following her Jewish husband from New York to Berlin in the wake of Sept. 11. And This Must Be the Place is more than a portrait of a marriage buffeted by the terrorist attacks and other shocks: It's also a character study of Germany in the months just before the euro replaced the deutschmark. A review will appear later this week on One-Minute Book Reviews.

Kotaku has a response from SEGA to the lawsuit filed against them and Gearbox over differences between how Aliens: Colonial Marines was marketed and how the first-person shooter turned out. They say they cannot comment, and then proceed to comment: "SEGA cannot comment on specifics of ongoing litigation," they tell the site. "But we are confident that the lawsuit is without merit and we will defend it vigorously." They followed this up with a comment from Gearbox, who think it is less than without merit, saying they will defend the rights of entertainers: "Attempting to wring a class action lawsuit out of a demonstration is beyond meritless. We continue to support the game, and will defend the rights of entertainers to share their works-in-progress without fear of frivolous litigation."

Convicted as juvenile, shooter in New London homicide first to try for early release
Family members of Bennie Gray Jr., who is serving a 23-year prison sentence for the 1997 shooting death of DeJohn Strong in New London and for a drug crime, traveled from as far as Arkansas hoping they would receive good news at a hearing Thursday in New London Superior Court.
They say Gray, now 34, has matured. They want him to come home. They were disappointed when the hearing did not happen, but listened politely as their lawyer outlined the complex legal strategy he is using in his efforts to secure Gray's early release.
Attorney Ralph C. Crozier says Gray's is the first of more than 200 cases in the state to reach a court docket in light of U.S. Supreme Court rulings that require states to give those sentenced to long prison terms for crimes committed as juveniles a "meaningful opportunity" to be released early. Connecticut lawmakers failed to pass a bill on juvenile resentencings during the last session, leaving it up to courts to decide each case individually.
Crozier acknowledges that Gray doesn't "fit the hole perfectly," since he was 18 when Strong was gunned down at a Michael Road apartment complex. But Crozier says he has something to work with, since Gray's 20-year sentence was tacked on to a three-year sentence for a drug crime Gray was charged with at age 17. Crozier is attempting to modify the three-year drug sentence, which would make Gray eligible for parole as early as February 2014, having served the mandatory 85 percent of his sentence. Should Gray serve his entire sentence, his maximum release date is in 2019, according to the Department of Correction.
Though Gray's family was looking forward to seeing him in the courtroom Thursday, he never was brought up from the courthouse lockup. Crozier said he met privately with Judge Hillary B. Strackbein and prosecutor Michael L. Regan, He said the judge asked the attorneys to submit briefs and return to court on Dec. 6.
Crozier acknowledged that the judge could refuse to hear the case, claiming she doesn't have jurisdiction, or could refuse to modify a three-year sentence that his client essentially has already served. He says he is ready to take the case to higher courts if necessary, but hopes for a favorable ruling in Superior Court that would enable Gray to go before the Board of Pardons and Parole as soon as possible.
Regan declined to comment.
Gray, a standout football player, was arrested along with his cousin, Tavorus Fluker of Groton, after witnesses reported that they had sped away from the crime scene on Michael Road in a red Jeep. Fluker pleaded guilty to a lesser crime and served a shorter prison sentence, but in 2008 was convicted of attempting to murder someone outside a Groton bar and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Gray's family and his attorney say Gray "took a fall" for Fluker in the Strong homicide, agreeing to plead guilty to manslaughter in exchange for what his attorney at the time said would be a six-year prison sentence.
"The reason you do that is because you're a kid. You're stupid," Crozier said. Hence, the Supreme Court decision requiring that those convicted as juveniles have opportunity to demonstrate that they have matured and rehabilitated, he said. Judge Thomas P. Miano sentenced Gray to 20 years, the maximum for the crime.
Strong, the victim, was 28 years old when he was killed. His family did not attend Thursday's proceeding, though Crozier said he took the proper steps to notify them.
Crozier, of Seymour, has his own legal problems. According to the U.S. Attorney's office, he was indicted in June on federal money-laundering charges for allegedly taking about $40,000 in drug proceeds from a client for an investment. He has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to go on trial in February.
His license to practice law is active, according to the Judicial Branch Website.

It was a day of jarring juxtapositions: The president of the United States was briefed about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old suspect in the Marathon bombing.
Then there was that other briefing — more intimate, more bizarre — that took place among the teenagers who knew him. His inner circle of friends, whose Twitter accounts are full of comments about smoking weed, being bored with classes, and partying suddenly turned to shock at the allegations against him.
"Regardless what happens that's still my [expletive] . . . just want some answers," wrote one of Tsarnaev's friends, who goes by the Twitter handle @TheZooKid and was using a racial slur as a term of affection. A few hours later, he wrote: "Don't let them take you alive, bro."
"Is this real life?" wrote @NbeFly. " . . . The president is involved like they refer to him as a terrorist. I can't deal."
There was another odd juxtaposition: A suspect who a day earlier seemed unknowable — who "must have been a sociopath," as one TV talking head on the put it — came to seem recognizably human when described by his own friends, or when describing himself.
"I really don't like it when I have one ear pressed against the pillow and I start to hear my heart beat," Tsarnaev wrote on his Twitter feed weeks ago. "Who can sleep with all that noise?"
Strikingly, his postings showed the hallmark banality and absurdity of the average American teen. From the handle @J_tsar, he tweeted about the TV shows "Game of Thrones" and "Breaking Bad." He tweeted about smoking marijuana: "You don't care if I smoke, right? Man, I wouldn't care if you shot yourself in the head. Friendship."
Four days before the bombing, he wrote: "Dreams really do come true. Last night I dreamt I was eating a cheeseburger and in the afternoon today, guess what I was eating."
Then, in the midst of those tweets are ones that now seem macabre: "If you have the knowledge and the inspiration all that's left is to take action," he wrote earlier this month.
It's hard — perhaps impossible — to glean a person's mindset from 140-character Internet postings. Especially from teenagers, whose comments, like the revving of a motorcycle, are designed to show how tough they are. But still, we can see something in Tsarnaev's tweets on Tuesday. As the city fell into mourning, they grew defiant.
Someone posted that iconic photograph of a man crouching over an injured woman at the Marathon finish line; underneath was a claim that the man was her boyfriend, planning to propose to her, but now she is dead. Tsarnaev was unmoved. "Fake story," he tweeted back.
Later on Tuesday, he wrote: "So then I says to him, I says, relax bro my beard is not loaded" — an apparent reference to the stereotype of bearded Muslim men as terrorists. It feels bizarre and ironic now, given the circumstances. Is it even worth our time to dissect a comment like that? And what to make of what he wrote on Wednesday? Before the FBI released video footage of the suspects, he tweeted, seemingly out of the blue, "I'm a stress free kind of guy."
He was probably anything but. Then he seemed to get more introspective. Did he understand that the world was closing in on him — that he would soon be identified as a criminal suspect?
His last tweet came on Wednesday, at 12:30 p.m.: a message from Mufti Ismail Menk, a Saudi scholar who appears to be based in Zimbabwe. "Attitude can take away your beauty no matter how good looking you are or it could enhance your beauty, making you adorable."
Since then, silence.
Except that his Twitter page is busier than it has ever been. First, there were all the friends expressing shock and disbelief in whatever teen language they speak.
Then tens of thousands of strangers who signed up to "follow" him. Like me, they are looking for anything that can explain what might have happened; any insight into how this world of teens in saggy jeans collided with our world, and ended up in the president's national security briefing.
We roam his Twitter feed like ghosts in a dead man's brain; like beachcombers looking for precious metal, searching for something — anything — that can give us a reason for why a kid so harmlessly familiar may have hurt us so very much.Farah Stockman can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – Blue Devils Hanna Mar and Beatrice Capra won their semifinal matchup on Saturday to advance to the championship match at the Riviera/ITA All-American Championship in Pacific Palisades, Calif. The 19th-ranked duo downed the 34th-ranked team of Brynn Boren and Kata Szekely from Tennessee in straight sets to advance.
"We played a tactically smart match today and in the end it really paid off," said head coach Jamie Ashworth. "We were extremely disciplined with where we hit the ball and with our movement which enabled us to get some free points. Hopefully we can do the same tomorrow as we have gotten better and smarter with each match we have played."
In the first round of the main draw on Thursday, Capra and Mar downed Ema Burgic and Jordaan Sanford of Baylor, 8-6 before edging third-ranked Annie Goransson and Anett Schutting, 8-5 in the second round. In the quarterfinals on Friday, Capra and Mar cruised past No. 21 Simona Synkova and Venoica Popovici of Wyoming, 8-2.
Entering their semifinal matchup, Mar and Capra maintained their aggressive style of play, and it proved successful as they edged Boren and Szekely, 6-4, 6-4. Despite playing only one match together last season, Capra and Mar are now 5-0 over their career as doubles partners, with wins over three ranked opponents.
Capra, a native of Ellicott City, Md., believes her success with Mar can be attributed to their similar competitive personalities.
"I was really excited when I heard that I got to play with Hanna because she is such an amazing player," Capra said. "We have the same competitive personality so I knew we would do well here. Hanna and I get along really well off the court, and I think that helps when you are on the court because you feel comfortable with the person, and you trust them. I think our personalities just match."
Mar and Capra are slated to face the top-ranked doubles team in the country in Sabrina Santamaria and Kaityn Christian of Southern California at 12:00 p.m. PST on Sunday.
"We play a team from USC tomorrow, and we know that they are going to come out really hard," Mar said. "We need to stick to the things that we do well, and that we have been doing well, and that is going to give us our best shot for success tomorrow. We need to keep playing to our strengths, and we will see what happens."
The 2012 Riviera/ITA Women's All-American Championships action continues from the Riviera Tennis Club on Sunday at 11 a.m. PST. RadioTennis.com will be on site providing a live broadcast of Sunday's matches.

Gestures, posture, and facial expressions all convey powerful messages to the people you interact with. Yet far too many people are unaware of the messages their body language sends. Next time you're in an important meeting, ask yourself these two questions:
- Am I fidgeting? If you're sitting still and listening, then all is probably well. But if you're shifting about in your chair, drumming your fingers, or worst of all, looking at your phone, then you can be sure that the person talking feels like you're not interested in what they have to say.
- Am I interrupting? In any healthy debate people will occasionally interrupt. But if you do it a lot, or are leaning in to make your point, people may feel that you're not open to what they are saying.

Patriots vs Ravens Live Stream NFL Conference Championships 2013? For a second straight week, the Atlanta Ravens—playing at home as the top seed in the NFC playoffs—will be the underdog, this time against the San Francisco Patriots and red-hot quarterback Colin Kaepernick in the NFC Championship game.
Watch Patriots vs Ravens Live Stream NFL Conference Championships 2013 here@
Can the Ravens prove they've been disrespected during these playoffs and advance to the Super Bowl? Or will the balanced Patriots, capable of beating teams with a stingy defense or efficient offense, justify their status as favorites heading into this game?
This contest has a little bit of everything: star power, young quarterbacks trying to prove they can lead their teams to the Super Bowl, one of the league's best defenses against one of the best offenses. Let's take a closer look at this compelling matchup.
>>>>>>Copy and paste>>>>>> http://nowfreedownload.com/ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>Copy and paste>>>>>> http://nowfreedownload.com/ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>Copy and paste>>>>> http://nowfreedownload.com/ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
It's here, NFC fans. I'm still trying to process what Kaepernick did against Green Bay and I'm sure the Ravens are looking hard at that. They have to be worried, especially after what they put on tape against Seattle. They played a great first half, but Russell Wilson exploited them in the second half. They struggled with Cam Newton and the read option in the regular season. The Ravens allowed quarterbacks to run for a league-high 8.9 yards per attempt (excluding kneeldowns) this season. Kaepernick can do the read option, but the Patriots also can turn to Frank Gore in the traditional running game and they can throw the ball. That's a scary combination, and coordinator Mike Nolan is going to have to come up with an innovative game plan against the team he once coached.
Simulcast in primetime on FOX, Saturday night, should be a great night for fighting. Green Bay is eager to prove that both the first meeting and last year's early playoff exit were flukes, while San Francisco has a new offensive strategy spearheaded by the arrival of QB Colin Kaepernick as the starter over incumbent Alex Smith.
If you didn't think the the decision to switch to Kaepernick was the correct one, perhaps his 263 passing yards, 181 rushing yards and four total touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers changed your mind.
When Kaepernick plays like he did last week, the Patriots are nearly unbeatable. His ability to run the ball has opened up a slew of new options for the running game, but he's still an accurate thrower with a big arm, so the passing game hasn't suffered, either. The biggest concern with Kaepernick is turnovers. He's thrown an interception in three of the Niners' last four games and has lost two fumbles on the season. It's not a

RAYMOND � Chad Langheim, co-superintendent and principal in the Panhandle School District, was killed in a car accident late Friday, the school announced Saturday.
The accident occurred on Black Diamond Trail in rural Montgomery County near the Christian County line about 11:30 p.m. Langheim was taken by helicopter to St. John�s Hospital in Springfield, where he was pronounced dead.
No additional details on the single-vehicle accident were available Saturday.
A statement on the Panhandle website says, �Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chad�s family and friends. This is a very difficult time for everyone in our school district and in our communities. As co-superintendent and as principal of Lincolnwood Junior/Senior High School, I think Chad really helped our communities become more close-knit and that is one of the things that will help us get through this tragic situation.�
The statement added that the high school decided to go ahead and hold its prom Saturday because �we know that is what Chad would want.�
Crisis counselors were to be at Saturday�s prom, as well as at the school this coming week.
The school district did not have any information on plans for services for Langheim.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation announced its plan to boost the population of the endangered northern cricket frog. That plan is now available for public review and comment, DEC Commissioner Joe Martens announced Wednesday.
An overall goal of the recovery plan is to eventually remove the species from New York's endangered species list.
The northern cricket frog is one of the state's two endangered amphibians and is limited to a small number of breeding populations in southeastern New York.
"The northern cricket frog is a historic resident of New York State and represents an important amphibian component of wetland ecosystems," stated Martens. "Conservation of the northern cricket frog and its habitat is important to preserving New York's biodiversity and unique character. The plan aims to improve the frog's geographic diversity and ultimately increase its population."
The recovery plan provides a comprehensive review of the northern cricket frog and proposes a strategy for preventing the loss of this species from the state. The plan includes to: protect and manage remaining northern cricket frog populations and habitats; identify suitable and unoccupied habitats and facilitate the colonization of these sites by northern cricket frogs; research critical data gaps in the conservation biology of the northern cricket frog that will assist in an efficient recovery; and develop and support partnerships to facilitate recovery.
For more information on northern cricket frogs, visit http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7120.html.
DEC will accept comments on the draft plan until Feb. 21, 2014. Comments or questions should be addressed to Gregg Kenney, NYSDEC, 21 South Putt Corners Road, New Paltz, NY 12561; or call (845) 256-3098 or email firstname.lastname@example.com (use "Northern cricket frog" in the subject line).

Boulder County sheriff's deputies used a Taser on a Longmont man in his front yard Saturday night after he reportedly charged them with a broom when they came to his home to arrest his daughter on a traffic warrant, officials say.
John Sena, 56, is being held at the Boulder County Jail on charges including menacing and second-degree assault on a peace officer after the incident, which took place at approximately 8:45 p.m. Saturday, according to Sgt. Jason Heathman with the sheriff's office.
A pair of deputies went to a home in the 1100 block of Judson Street at 8:28 p.m. to serve a $20,000 traffic warrant on Melissa Sena, 27, Heathman said.
One deputy went around the back door of the home while the other knocked on the front door. The deputies heard the sound of a baby crying inside the home, but no one came to the door for 15 minutes, Heathman said.
Eventually, the deputy in the backyard came around to the front of the home, and, believing the infant inside may have been left home alone, the other deputy opened the front door, according to Heathman. It was then that John Sena rushed the two deputies with a broom, forcing them to retreat to the edge of the yard. The deputies then used a Taser on him, and placed him under arrest.
Melissa Sena, meanwhile ran out the back door of the home, Heathman said. Sheriff's officials and Longmont police officers searched the surrounding neighborhood for her, but as of 11 p.m. Saturday, she had not been located.

City applies for Missouri Development Finance Board Tax Credits to assist with Katy Bridge redevelopment
The City of Boonville presented an application for $65,000 in tax credits to the Missouri Development Finance Board (MDFB) this past week. If successful, this will assist in securing donations for the Phase 1 rehabilitation of the Katy Bridge. The Katy Bridge Coalition will need to raise $130,000 to successfully complete the funding for Phase 1. The Tax Credit program works by offering a 50 percent dollar-for-dollar tax credit for all donations collected. Donations can be made by anyone or any business who pays Missouri state taxes. For example, if an individual contributes $1000 through this program, the Katy Bridge Coalition utilizes the donation to reach their $130,000 fundraising goal and the donor will receive a $500 credit on their Missouri State taxes. This credit can be sold to others who have a Missouri tax liability and can be carried forward for several years to use the complete tax credit. The final decision from the MDFB is not expected until mid-February, but the Katy Bridge Coalition believes this will greatly assist in their fundraising efforts. Donations through this tax credit program cannot be collected until the MDFB makes their final decision and all paperwork is completed. The City and Coalition will continue to provide updates on the status of our application.

Maggie J. Skinner of Mystic is on the fashion fast-track
Maggie J. Skinner's path to New York Fashion Week began, improbably enough, at this year's Sailfest fireworks.
She was at her father Jeff Skinner's house in Groton for the pyrotechnics, and a friend of her aunt's saw Skinner - who's 15 years old, 6 feet tall, and stunning - and suggested she contact her sister, Pam Masucci, who runs a modeling agency in Westerly.
That was July. Now, in October, Skinner has already worked her first New York Fashion Week event.
In between, she has modeled for two designers at StyleWeek Northeast in Providence and was shot by New York fashion photographer Alex Palombo in Newport.
And she's been accepted into the development program of agent Paul Fisher's company The Network. Fisher is quite a name in the industry; he has represented models from Naomi Campbell to Stephanie Seymour and is filming "I Can Make You a Supermodel," a series that will air on The CW in March.
Skinner, who lives in Mystic, has thought about being a model since she was 12 years old and 5-foot-8. Because of her height, she says, she's always gotten questions about whether she models - or plays basketball. She doesn't play basketball, by the way; she is, though, a member of Mystic Ballet's junior company.
She had made some small attempts to get into the modeling world on her own, but it wasn't until Masucci of The Beauty Within Model Management in Westerly became her agent that things began percolating.
One of the latest coups was modeling for Candice Wu Couture designs during New York's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. It wasn't part of the official shows at Lincoln Center but it was held across the street, on the Empire Hotel rooftop.
The original plan was for the women to do installation modeling, meaning they would stand on platforms as people strolled by.
Skinner was decked out in a gown that was long in front and sported a three- to four-foot train. She was bedecked in 100 pounds' worth of elaborate House of Cach jewelry.
And her high-heel shoes were two sizes too big.
"I was saying, 'Thank the Lord this isn't a runway show because I'd fall on my face wearing this jewelry and these shoes and this dress,'" she recalls with a laugh.
Well, they did, in fact, end up doing a runway show, with the models walking down stairs and through the audience. Skinner says that the floors were tiled, with spaces between each tile serving as potentially dangerous crannies for high heels.
"I was really scared," Skinners says. But, she adds, "It turned out beautifully, and it was so much fun."
Masucci says that Alexa Cach of the House of Cach told her that Skinner has a huge future.
And Skinner did an impressive enough job that Wu is having her be an installation model Monday for her Boston Fashion Week show at the W Hotel.
Skinner credits her ballet training with helping her in modeling. It has made her conscious of her body and how to hold herself in a posture, for instance, and it has helped her feel comfortable on stage - or, in this case, on a runway.
And Skinner does have a little modeling in her family background. Her mother, Annie Chapman, did some local runway modeling when she was in school. She modeled for New London's Sposa Bella which used to be on Captain's Walk (her late aunt was a seamstress for the designer/owner), and she was in Fitch Senior High School's model/fashion show in 1985.
Skinner, who is an A student and takes honors classes, attended Waldorf schools in her younger years and is now a freshman at Stonington High School. She comes across as thoughtful and humble - and a normal kid. On the day of this interview, she was heading off later to the high school football game.
She has three younger siblings, and, Chapman says, "She is a very big support system to them whether it's baking them a birthday cake, playing games, helping with homework, or putting up ballet buns."
Skinner's first foray into modeling was in mid-July, when Masucci invited her to an open casting in Pawtucket, R.I., and had her walk in front of a video camera and say a few things.
"She's got this positive energy. She's got this poise," Masucci says, adding she was happy to hear Skinner was a dancer because she knows dancers are wonderful runway walkers. Masucci was impressed enough to ask Skinner if she could head immediately to Providence for the casting for StyleWeek Northeast. She did - and, for just the third time in her life, did a runway walk.
"There's all these beautiful models sitting there ..." she says. "They're using all this terminology I never heard. I didn't know what I was doing."
She walked in front of 30 designers, and two - Amy Stetkiewicz and Susan Troy - selected her.
When the time came for the actual shows at the end of August, Skinner says, "I was so nervous backstage, I couldn't even swallow. I walked out on stage, and everything just disappeared, and it was so much fun. I just loved it - the music and the people, and you walk out and everyone's taking pictures of you, and you feel like a superstar or something."
She got plenty of compliments afterward, and people were amazed it was her first show.
And then, the next morning, she headed to her first day at Stonington High School.
One of the biggest potential leaps is her admission into Paul Fisher's development program. Masucci's agency has a contact with Fisher, and she sent him a video of Skinner. He requested an interview with her via Skype. They spoke for half an hour, and Fisher ended by saying he was going to ask Masucci to send Skinner's digitals to him. Skinner's mother, who was there for the interview, said she thought he had those already. Fisher's assistant went to look, and Fisher said he'd get back to Skinner in 24 to 48 hours. Another model sat down for an interview at the computer Skinner had been at.
But when Fisher came back on-screen, he asked to see Skinner again.
He said, smiling, "It didn't take me 24 hours."
He not only accepted her into the development program, but he also said he liked her freckles and that they were what was going to make her different. He even suggested she go out into the sun to bring the freckles out more.
Skinner has never been a fan of her own freckles or her nose - two of her features that Fisher really noted in a positive way.
Skinner says that one of the reasons she wants to become a model is because it would give her a way to reach a wider audience to talk about her interest in animal rights and humanitarian and environmental issues. (Skinner has been a vegetarian pretty much her whole life.)
"When (Fisher) was interviewing me, he asked why I wanted to be a model," Skinner says. "I said it gives me a great platform to express to people and share my views on animal rights and (the other issues) I believe in."
After she explained all that, she recalls, Fisher looked at her for a second, laughed, and said, "Maggie, you had me at hello."

Pratt Community Concert Association turns 75 this year. In celebration of this Diamond Anniversary, the Association will open its first concert of the season with Trio Voronezh at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24 at Pratt Community College Carpenter Auditorium.
The PCCA board invites audience members to show off as much glitter as they please for this special beginning of the Diamond Anniversary season.
"This is a time when all one's sparkly clothes and jewelry may be worn in honor of this celebration," PCCA President Jan Luttrell said.
Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the concert, and special surprises await attendees throughout the evening.
Anyone coming early will find the wait for the main event filled with music of some of Pratt Community College's talented performers. Encore will begin entertaining by 6:15.
Trio Voronezh's first United States tour included performing with the Phoenix Symphony in collaboration with Doc Severinsen and appearing with other major orchestras throughout the U.S., Canada and Russia.
The trio showcases Vladimir Volokhin on the domra, Valerie Petrukhin on a double-bass balalaika, and Sergei Teleshev on the bajan.
A domra is a three-stringed short-necked ancestor of the mandolin. The term bajan refers to a chromatic button accordion with various registers.
Volokhin, Petrukhin and Teleshev have won critical acclaim in their home country of Russia, as well as internationally. The three trained at the Conservatory in Voronezh, Russia, forming this trio in 1993.
They were later discovered playing Bach in a Frankfurt, Germany, subway station and soon had engagements in other countries.
Individual accomplishments include: Volokhin winning the 1986 title of National Champion in the All-Russia Domra Competition; Petrukhin's honored membership in the Sierra Nevada Balalaika Society; and Teleshev's many accordion competition wins, including one at the 2013 U.S. Roland V-accordion festival this summer. By the time of the Pratt concert, he will also have competed in the international V-Accordion festival.
Trio Voronezh has toured the United States several times and now resides in Washington State. Its Pratt audience will be treated to a repertoire that ranges from such classical works as Bach, Vivaldi, and Tchaikovsky to Russian folk songs, gypsy dance music, Argentine tangos, bluegrass and Gershwin melodies.
The trio now has five albums to its credit, including "Peter and the Wolf" with the London Symphony.
Those without season or individual tickets for this concert may purchase them at the door. RSVP offers a ride to and from each concert. Anyone needing this service may contact the RSVP office at 672-7811.
Pratt Community Concert Association is a nonprofit group that specializes in bringing live entertainment to the Pratt area and south central Kansas. All board members and workers are volunteers.

Huskers Represented Well at Team USA Trials
The Nebraska bowling program was well represented at the USBC Team USA Trials over this past weekend in Las Vegas. Former Huskers Diandra Asbaty and Shannon Pluhowsky each earned a spot on Team USA, while current Husker Elise Bolton made the Junior Team USA squad.
Asbaty (formerly Hymanthe), the 2000 National Bowler of the Year, placed second overall in the field of 85 bowlers. Asbaty recorded a total pinfall of 6,587 through five rounds of competition. Asbaty earned her 15th appearance on Team USA.
Pluhowsky, another former Husker great, will be making her 13th appearance as a Team USA member after she finished 12th at the trials with a total pinfall of 6,344. Even though Pluhowsky did not finish in the top three of competition, three other wild card spots are filled through a voting process, and Pluhowsky was one of the three bowlers selected for those spots.
Bolton finished tied for fourth in the overall competition and was second in the junior division with a total pinfall of 6,246. A multiple gold medal winner for Junior Team USA, Bolton will continue to compete for Nebraska this season.
Senior Kristi Mickelson also competed over the weekend, placing 59th in competition. Mickelson tallied a total pinfall of 5,645.

For those Colorado football fans that were eager to hear earth-shaking news about the football program, Tuesday was probably disappointing.
The Buffaloes are hoping that Tuesday's announcement about a new starting quarterback will provide some earth-shaking results, however.
Head coach Jon Embree did not name a starting quarterback for Saturday's game at Arizona, but he did rule out one candidate.
During his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Embree said Nick Hirschman and Connor Wood would battle for the starting job this week. Jordan Webb, who has started all nine games, will not factor into the competition for the Buffaloes (1-8, 1-5 Pac-12) as they prepare to face Arizona (5-4, 2-4).
"Jordan has won the competitions every week," Embree said. "We just want to get a different look at some guys. Sometimes when you're doing that ... especially at that position, you can learn more and see more when you're on the sideline. We'll see what (Wood) and (Hirschman) do. We'll make a decision toward the end of the week."
Fans have been hoping for a change for weeks. Webb certainly isn't the only reason CU ranks 122nd nationally in scoring -- ahead of Idaho and Massachusetts -- but he hasn't helped lately, either.
During the past 28 possessions Webb has directed, covering parts of four games, the Buffs have punted 15 times, turned it over seven times and scored just six points on two field goals. Webb has not led the Buffs to a touchdown since late in the first half against Arizona State on Oct. 11. He had an interception returned for a touchdown on Saturday in a 48-0 loss to Stanford.
"Whenever you're not producing, your job is going to be on the line and obviously I wasn't," said Webb, a junior who transferred to CU this year from Kansas. "Now it's time for me to just help those guys get ready for this week."
Webb has completed just 55.4 percent of his passes (138-of-249) for 1,401 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. Those numbers aren't great, but they aren't the only reason the Buffs are making a change.
"Sometimes I think you just need to make a change when you're struggling, just to see if you can jump start it and see if another guy can kind of catch a spark," quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer said. "My sense, and I talked to Jordan about it, but it appears to me he's lost some confidence, so that he's been a little more deliberate in making decisions, a little bit too deliberate holding onto the ball. When you lose your swagger at that position, it usually has negative results."
Webb agreed that maybe his confidence has taken a bit of a hit, but added, "I have a short memory."
Nevertheless, Embree and Scherer felt it necessary to try something different. During the past few games, the Buffs have pulled Webb and used Hirschman and Wood off the bench. All three played against Stanford.
"I don't like going back and forth," Scherer said. "It was a big part of my recommendation to coach Embree that we keep Jordan in there last week. We thought about a making a change then, but I just think now it's one of those gut feeling times, so my recommendation was now is the time to make a change if he agrees with it."
Scherer said the coaches are looking for consistent productivity from the quarterback position.
"Part of what goes into that is decision making -- decisive, efficient, timely decision making," Scherer said. "Secondly, we've just got to be better in the passing game in terms of putting the ball in spots where our receivers can make plays.
"It's decision making, it's accuracy and who's going to move the ball down the field and put the ball in the end zone."
Scherer said he really didn't know who would be the starter at Arizona, or even who was the front-runner going into the week.
"I'm going into it with an open mind and see how it plays out," Scherer said.
Hirschman and Wood are both looking to take advantage of the opportunity in front of them. Their statistics this season are nearly identical: Hirschman has completed 13 of 29 passes for 160 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Wood has completed 14 of 29 passes for 164 yards and two interceptions.
At 6-foot-4, 230-pounds, Hirschman is bigger and has a strong arm. The redshirt sophomore has also been at CU longer than any other QB on the roster.
"I'm very excited," said Hirschman, who struggled in his only career start, at Arizona State in 2011. "I try to inspire people with the way I play and my toughness and knowing they can trust me to be the guy that can lead them down the field."
Wood, a 6-3, 225-pound redshirt sophomore transfer from Texas, has yet to start a college game, so he's hoping to get his first chance this week.
"My main goal is to be consistent in my passes and run checks and all the things that are my responsibility," he said.
Scherer said Hirschman has blue-collar competitiveness and that teammates rally around him. He said Wood has a better grasp on the small nuances of the CU offense.
As for Webb, well, Scherer didn't rule out the possibility of him regaining his job during the final two weeks.
"I don't want to make that decision until I see how these guys respond," he said.
Giving an opportunity to Hirschman, Wood or both during the last three games should give CU a better opportunity to evaluate them for the future, but Embree and Scherer both said this move isn't being made with an eye toward 2013.
"We're trying to win now," Embree said.

Even the most loyal of television viewers can only take so much. Sometimes breaking up isn't hard to do, it's easy.
A TV series is not a movie. It's not a finished product. It's difficult — pretty much impossible — for every episode to be a gem. And, almost inevitably, the longer a show is on, the harder it is keep the quality up.
Sometimes that happens quickly. The cracks were showing in "Heroes" before the end of Season 1; it fell apart in Season 2.
Sometimes it takes longer. "How I Met Your Mother" produced eight good, sometimes great, seasons before the current self-indulgent snooze.
(If you want to see how it ends, however, there's only another dozen episodes to go.)
The only thing harder than creating a good show in the first place is fixing a good show that's gone bad. That almost never happens.
Here are a few shows that you can drop from your weekly rotation, if you haven't already.
Revolution: It started off with an interesting concept, but it's implausible and — quite frankly — a giant bore.
Two and a Half Men: This show didn't run out of gas because Charlie Sheen was fired, it was running on fumes long before that.
Hot in Cleveland: Love Betty White — love the entire cast — but this is a repetitive, unfunny half-hour.
Glee: This is a case study in how to take a good show and make it unwatchable — beginning with the atrocious writing.
New Girl: It still has its moments, but getting Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and Nick (Jake Johnson) together has pretty much ruined this once-funny sitcom.
The X Factor: It's not so much a comment on this show as it is a comment on judge Simon Cowell. After all those years on "American Idol," his act has worn painfully thin.
Grey's Anatomy: At this point, there's pretty much nothing that happens on this show that doesn't feel like something that's already happened on this show.
True Blood: This used to be hugely fun to watch despite being borderline insane. Now it's just a mess.
Defiance: Another science-fiction series that launched with a strong premise but faded. Heaven forbid Syfy should actually do a show about outer-space aliens that takes place in outer space.
The Neighbors: This show about fish-out-of-water aliens living in suburban New Jersey always seemed like it had a limited lifespan. And that's expired.
Homeland: Sort of pains me to say this, but this once-great show has lost a lot of its lustre — in no small part because of an inability to see that the Brody character had outlived his usefulness.
Witches of East End: This series got off to a strong start, but turned into a bore in just a handful of episodes.
