Asche Debuts with Phillies
Lincoln - Former Nebraska All-American third-baseman Cody Asche recently made his Major League debut with the Philadelphia Phillies.
A fourth-round pick by the Phillies in 2011, Asche made his debut on July 30 against San Francisco and made his first start the following day against the Giants. He picked up his first career hit on Aug. 1 against the Giants in the bottom of the ninth against Sergio Romo.
"He's pretty good, he had a pretty good season for a guy who jumped from Double-A to Triple-A," said Phillies Manage Charlie Manuel. "I'm looking forward to seeing him play. I liked what I saw in spring training. He's a line-drive hitter but has power when he hits the ball up in the air and from what I saw he's very adequate at third base, and has been improving as far as third base goes and he looked pretty good when I saw him in spring training."
Last season, Asche hit .349 with 13 doubles and 25 RBIs for Single-A Clearwater in 62 games before getting promoted for Double-A Reading. He went on to hit .300 with 10 homers and 20 doubles, along with 47 RBIs.
Asche opened the 2013 season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, where he was hitting .295 with 24 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs and 68 RBIs over 104 games.
Asche is the 34th former Husker to reach the Majors.

I am a huge fan of working with original rather than derivative versions of records, but every once in a while, a published work comes along that is of such a caliber as to make it not only a necessary addition to the home library, but a highly functional one.
Such is the case with Macon County, NC in the 1850 Census: A Snapshot in Time compiled by Barbara McRae and published by Teresita Press, a small, private press founded by McRae that specializes in the publication of genealogical and historical information, particularly in record transcriptions.
A Snapshot in Time includes a transcription of not only the free population schedule from the 1850 US Census, but also includes transcriptions of each of the other schedules for this census, including mortality, agriculture, industry, and slave. The free population and agriculture production schedules are intermingled so that on each page one may find the household as it was enumerated in the free population schedule at the top of the page, and running along the bottom (on that page or within a few pages), one could see the same household's farming output, if any were made for that household. The whole is fully indexed and bound in a tight spiral binding.
The best part of A Snapshot in Time isn't its completeness or the well-organized index; the best part of this work is in its accuracy. Inevitably, in any derivation, errors creep in, most notably due to misreading the scribe's handwriting. This work is no exception; however, the errors are so minimal as to be overlooked. When one compares this book to microfilmed versions of the 1850 US Census for Macon County, one will inevitably find the names transcribed correctly, and when one thumbs through the index, one can be reasonably certain of its completeness.
Such accuracy is the hallmark of a professional of McRae's caliber. A long-time editor of The Franklin Press, Macon County's paper of record, McRae also writes a long-standing column for the paper called Know Your County, which focuses on the area's historicity. McRae cut her genealogical teeth with the column, and moved on to Records of Old Macon County, North Carolina, 1829-1850, a wonderful abstract of Macon County's earliest deed books that has been reprinted by Clearfield Company, a division of Genealogical Publishing Company.
McRae has, alone and with the help of others, compiled derivations of other important early records for Macon County, many available through Teresita Press. Researchers of the old Macon County area are fortunate to have such resources to use as a supplement to the original official records.

I am certified January 2, 2013Posted by nicholas gill in Uncategorized.
Tags: career, get mentoring, just ask gill, mentor
I am certified. Some of you may have thought I should have been long ago but for different reasons. You may also remember the Just Ask Gill project. Well, since I pressed pause on that, I still find myself helping out folk informally and on one of my frequent work-related trips to the 'dam, I saw an ad about training to be a mentor. And you could do it online. For free. So I did. And now I am a certified Mentor and a member of the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs as a result. I now have to help someone formally through one of the mentor channels on the IOEE or MentorsMe. I'll keep you posted.

Shepherd of the Hills state hatchery manager Clint Hale and staff members from Branson toured and lunched here last Wednesday.
Shepherd of the Hills state hatchery manager Clint Hale and staff members from Branson toured and lunched here last Wednesday. We have an important partnership and friendship with this state hatchery. Our production of 100,000 pounds of rainbow trout combined with Shepherd of the Hills hatchery production to supply Lake Taneycomo, generates millions of dollars for the state of Missouri by bringing anglers from all over the country to fish.
Last November, we toured their facility to study their hellbender mitigation and to incorporate a hellbender production of our own in the future. This important networking and support among hatcheries allows for shared ideas and methods to sustain our fish and wildlife programs. Shepherd of the Hills hatchery has a great, "kid friendly" conservation center with many interactive exhibits and aquariums. Situated just below Table Rock Dam, the area has a boat ramp and several fishing access points along Lake Taneycomo, where trout fishing is allowed year-round. Four hiking trails are also available for nature viewing.
Educational Specialist Bruce Hallman is attending a media communications course at our national training facility this week. Rocky Comfort Elementary School third graders, parents and teachers visited our facility and toured last Tuesday. Third grade Roosters from White Rock Elementary in Jane toured Friday. Philanthropic Educational Organization members held their meeting and toured the visitor center Tuesday. Long distance visitor of the week is Daren Waddle from Lancaster, Penn. Local visitors of the week are Daisy and Jeannette Wormington of Neosho.
Janice Eaton is the automation clerk at the Neosho National Fish Hatchery.

XBL Gamertag: your mother...
PSN Name: artistadam
Xfire Identity: i said your mother!!
i rented this game yesterday and i was wondering if anyone here has played it... i found the first couple of hours slow and boring but, the action and story is starting to pick up now... i've got two women in my squad now, along with alistar... and i guess both of them are wooable? i don't think morrigan is too thrilled to have another female in the group but, morrigan is a bit of a bitch anyways... i removed my dog from my party but, i have no clue how to get him back in case i decide to kick one of the others out...
if i can fast-travel to each and every destination, i might have this game beat in like another day... i didn't realize i could do that... i bypassed a long journey i assume... i can't remember the town but, it was the one morrigan wanted me to go to immediately after she joined the party... so, now they all want me to go to redcliff, or something... i guess i need to physically journey there if i want to earn more experience...
the fighting is OK, the graphics are not very good at all, and the framerate on the PS3 is a bit slow... i have no clue what skills i am unlocking, or if they are useful because so far, all i've done is the basic attack... and that seems to be working... i am still confused about the leveling... the skills i have unlocked, haven't been useful at all...
everywhere i go, someone wants me to help them... i am trying to play this game as a good samaritian but, if i have to keep helping people, i am going to start to please morrigan with my devilish ways...
overall, it's a decent game... i guess i was expecting more considering how it won a bunch of awards last year... but, the RPG aspect really hasn't kicked in yet... it just feels like a hack-n-slash game right now because, leveling up isn't unlocking anything good, it's just allowing me to make my soldier stronger and faster in battle...
my teammates are very helpful in battle though, which is a nice change of pace from other games that claim this... the dialog branches are kind of fun to navigate, although, it's pretty easy to get under morrigan's skin... i guess i have to be more careful if i ever want to see more of her skin...
anyways, i got this game until sunday so, i'll keep advancing the story to see if it will suck me in... it hasn't yet...
Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

Ok, so it looks as if Denver is yet again in the thralls of another epic late season collapse-this one subsequently worse the previous two. And our playoff hopes will more than likely hinge on the last game of the year versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
So my question to you is:
A) Would you rather be a spoiler and destroy Denver's chances of making the playoffs, thus ripping out the heart of every Bronco fan in existence?
B) Lose-and assure yourself of picking Ndamukong Suh in this year's upcoming draft(I know, I know, he may not be there but go with it it)?

Roger Lee Teten, passed away on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at the age of 69 years and 27 days.
Roger Lee Teten, the youngest of four children of Edward and Anna (Eiben) Teten, was born January 2, 1944 in Nebraska City, Nebraska. He was baptized February 16, 1944 at St. Paul Lutheran Church near Talmage, Nebraska, and confirmed June 6, 1957 in the same church. Roger attended rural school near Talmage and graduated from Talmage High School in 1962.
On June 20, 1963 Roger was united in marriage to Mary Niedermeyer at Zion United Church of Christ in Talmage. They were blessed with three children, Annette, Jeffrey, and Denise, and made their home in Talmage.
A butcher by trade, Roger was owner/operator of Kreimer's Store in Talmage for 43 years. After selling the store and retiring, he worked part-time at Farmer's Cooperative Company in Talmage.
Roger was a member of Faith Lutheran Church in Talmage, was a charter member of the Talmage Rescue Squad, and belonged to the Talmage Fire Department. He served on church council, the town board and as Mayor of Talmage. Spare time would find Roger working in his wood shop on a project or playing cards with family or friends. He loved being with family, and liked nothing better than spending time with his kids and grandkids.
After an accident at work in Talmage, Roger was rushed to St. Mary's Hospital in Nebraska City. He passed away there on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at the age of 69 years and 27 days. His parents, brothers Merlyn and Victor, brother-in-law Donald Grotrian, and nephew Bill Lynch preceded him in death.
Roger is survived by his wife Mary of Talmage; children Annette and husband Rex Shipley of Lincoln; Jeffrey Teten and fiance Jill Hultquist of Underwood, IA; Denise and husband Ben Walbrecht of Lincoln; grandchildren Rachel Teten, Caitlyn Walbrecht, Zachery Teten, and Allison Walbrecht; sister Viola Grotrian of Auburn; sister-in-law Georgia Teten of Nebraska City; brother-in-law Richard Niedermeyer of Lincoln; many other relatives and many friends.
Funeral services were Saturday, February 2, 2013 at Faith Lutheran Church in Talmage, officiated by Rev. Glatha Rathjen. Rita Ruenholl and Kari Schroeder were accompanists for congregational songs. Casket bearers were Charles Grotrian, Robert Grotrian, Ron Grotrian, Gerald Grotrian, Michael Teten, Allen Teten, and Loyd Teten. Roger's body was cremated after the services, and burial of ashes will be at a later date at St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery near Talmage.
Services were entrusted to Hemmingsen Funeral Home of Auburn

An odd little flood of requests have come into the BlueTower over the past few days asking for posts about the Kickstarter for Camelot Unchained. Many of these cc: other gaming websites, and it's pretty apparent that someone has suggested a mail campaign to support the game, which sits at about 75% funding with just four days to go. While these requests ignore the fact that there's nothing new to report about this, it is surprising how much effort some of them showed at conveying the passion some supporters have for this, though some of them just tried to make it seem like they were spontaneous, which was funny amid the deluge. Anyway, the genuine enthusiasm of some of these letters touches a chord here where the community aspects of gaming always have sway. So on a quiet Saturday, here is a reminder about this proposed MMORPG in case the latest updates about what Mark Jacobs and company have planned might inspire more support. If not, at least this gave me an excuse to use that awesome headline.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Columbia volleyball won its second straight match with a gutsy 3-1 victory over Harvard Friday night. The Lions pulled out clutch wins in extra points in the first and final sets of the evening, defeating the Crimson by scores of 27-25, 19-25, 25-18, 28-26.
The win pushed Columbia (11-9, 6-5 Ivy League) ahead in the Ivy League standings after pacing evenly with Harvard (8-14, 5-6) coming into tonight's match.
Columbia started out on top in the first set and held its lead up to an 11-11 tie, when a back-and-forth battle broke out. The next 24 points were scored relatively evenly, resulting in 12 more ties up to a 25-all set that was forced into extra points. The Lions showed their dominance, finishing things off with a kill by first-year Atlanta Moye-McLaren followed by a service ace by junior Colleen Brennan to secure the win.
The second set was also close, as Columbia once again broke out following a 9-9 tie to build up to a 14-10 lead. Harvard outscored the Lions 5-2 over the next seven points to retie the score, 15-all. The teams remained neck-and-neck up to a 19-19 tie, until the Crimson surged with a 6-0 run to take the win and even the series, 1-1.
In the third set, the Lions started out on top, but after a 3-3 tie, Harvard scored two straight and took over. Columbia struggled to find its way back to the top, calling a timeout after the Crimson built its lead to 14-9. A kill by Caitlin Brenton sparked a 7-0 Columbia run as the Lions roared into the lead, taking over 17-15. The Crimson responded with a kill by Caroline Walters to make it a one-point set, but that would be the closest they would come the rest of the way as Columbia outscored Harvard 8-2 to take a 2-1 series advantage.
The fourth and final set of the night may have been the toughest as the Lions and the Crimson kept pace with one another the entire way. Following a 19-19 tie, Columbia pushed ahead with a 3-1 run that included two kills by first-year Bailey Springer. But Harvard held on, rallying to even the set, 25-25. McLaren smacked a kill to put the Lions ahead, but Taylor Docter responded with one of her own for the Crimson to make it 26-26. A Harvard serving error followed by a kill by senior Megan Gaughn completed the win as the Lions took the set and won the match.
Gaughn led the way for the Lions with 20 kills to go with nine digs, while Brennan set a new career-high with 57 assists. Denise Dearman also had a solid attacking day as she recorded 11 kills.
The Lions will look to roll at Dartmouth tomorrow night for a 5 p.m. match.

A suspended University of Alabama doctoral student has been behind bars since Friday after UA officials said he sent disturbing e-mails to them last month. Zachary Burrell, 28, is being held on charges of stalking and making terrorist threats. His bond is set at $500,000.
A suspended University of Alabama doctoral student has been behind bars since Friday after UA officials said he sent disturbing e-mails to them last month.
Zachary Burrell, 28, is being held on charges of stalking and making terrorist threats. His bond is set at $500,000.
The physics student sent "erratic" e-mails including video clips of a movie depicting violent acts toward university officials, according to a deposition filed in Tuscaloosa County District Court.
"The e-mails did not contain direct threats to the general campus population," said UA spokeswoman Cathy Andreen.
Burrell was dismissed from the school in late October "for various behavioral issues," according to the deposition. He was issued a no-trespass order that prohibited him from going to campus, Andreen said.
E-mails to staff members began Nov. 5 and continued until Nov. 28. UAPD investigators arrested him late Friday. E-mails were sent to UA President Judy Bonner, Dean of Students Tim Hebson, an associate director for academic affairs, an assistant director for judicial affairs and an astronomy professor.
"While these e-mails do not contain any direct threats, there are underlying threats as well as inferences to one movie involving violence to individuals and, more concerning, another movie involving violent acts towards university officials," a UAPD investigator wrote in the deposition and charge sheet.
A YouTube trailer for the movie "Dark Matter" was attached to one e-mail.
The 2007 film is based on a 28-year-old physics and astronomy student at the University of Iowa who killed four faculty members and a student before taking his own life in 1991.
"This movie's central character is a doctoral student in physics (same as Mr. Burrell) whose efforts are blocked by a professor (arguably the same as Mr. Burrell) and does not finish school (same as Mr. Burrell) and who loses his girlfriend (same as Mr. Burrell)," the officer wrote in the deposition. "The character eventually returns to campus with a weapon and 'opens fire.' In one e-mail, Mr. Burrell says he will 'repay' the university for ruining his life, even if it is his dying deed."
Burrell was suspended for "alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct," Andreen said. His case is still before the school's judicial affairs commission.
According to his resume posted online, Burrell authored a book called "Radiative symmetry breaking in the minimal B-L extended MSSM: A theoretical framework for understanding the origin of neutrino mass, and the particle physics of Dark Matter"
The book jacket states that he was a Ph.D. candidate in Theoretical Particle Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UA.
He earned his undergraduate degree from Auburn University in 2007 and graduate degree from UA in 2011.

One of the big controversies leading up to Xbox One's launch is what's (unfortunately) being called "resolutiongate." Major multiplatform games are running at a lower resolution on Xbox One than PS4, which calls into question the console's capabilities. Microsoft Studios VP Phil Spencer has defended Xbox One, saying gamers shouldn't focus on the numbers, but the experience.
"Go look at the games. Go play the games and tell us what you think about what they look. Right now, gamers don't have the games to go play. They can't walk into their local store and play the games. So, it doesn't really surprise me that they're going to focus on the specs that they can. I don't criticize anyone for doing that. In the end, we play the games, not the resolution," Spencer said.
Spencer isn't particularly concerned about Xbox One's latest scandal. He believes that once the system comes out, it will become less of an issue. "In absence of me getting my own Xbox One or PS4 games, I'm going to focus on the meme of the day, which happens to be resolutiongate," he said hypothetically. "But I think it'll blow over as people get to play the games."
But surely, Spencer must be somewhat concerned that Xbox One is seemingly less powerful than PS4? He argues that there are more factors to consider than just resolution. "Power is a subjective term. We look at all of the capabilities we put in the box, our investment in cloud, Kinect, and all-in-one entertainment, and our investment in the operating system for fast task-switching," he said. "We think we've built a very powerful system. I don't think there's any one vector of power that you can focus on and say we win because this number is bigger than that number. It's like a car. Is it horsepower? Is it torque? There's a bunch of things that you look at to see what it's capable of."
"Our proposition with Xbox One starts with the games: we've got a great launch lineup of over 20 games. We've got some great franchises, great third-party relationships. And we've built a system that natively understands you and your entertainment. I think in the long run, our hope and bet is that power will play out and show people that everything they've learned about gaming on 360 can now augment everything they can do on their television."
"You look at high-end PC games right now. If you were just looking at screen resolution and framerate, you'd be a PC gamer. Because you can spend $800 on a video card and put it in. I've built those rigs. I can play those games. And I understand that. But that doesn't mean the best games are there. It doesn't mean it's the best all-in-one experience."

TEKONSHA � When it lost its leading scorer to an injury earlier this month, the Hillsdale Academy boys basketball team knew it would need others to step up.
Having depth is paying off for the Colts.
Four players scored in double figures as the Colts ran to a convincing 78-42 victory over the Tekonsha Indians in a Southern Central Athletic Association game Tuesday.
Hillsdale Academy (5-6, 4-4 SCAA) lost senior Chip Blood to an injury shortly after the holiday break. Blood was leading the Colts in scoring at the time, coming off two 30-point efforts in the Pat Patterson Tournament. In the meantime, Liam Wolfram has picked up his scoring, while Noah Kalthoff has provided a strong inside presence.
"Everyone we put in tonight contributed, and our depth is coming through for us," Hillsdale Academy coach Rick Milligan said. "We had a height advantage tonight and our three bigs played well."
The Colts held a six-point lead after the first quarter, then outscored Tekonsha 44-16 over the middle two quarters to pull away.
Wolfram finished with 25 points to lead the Colts. Kalthoff recorded a double-double with 15 points and 16 rebounds, while Adam Krutsch had 14 points, eight assists and four steals. Collin Hubbard scored 11 points.
Brothers Alex and Casey Wood had big nights on the glass. Alex grabbed 10 rebounds while Casey pulled down eight rebounds.
Riley Lloyd and Chyene Wieschalek both scored nine points for Tekonsha.
Hillsdale Academy will host Battle Creek St. Philip on Friday.
Pittsford 56, Camden-Frontier 43
Three players scored in double figures as the Pittsford High School boys basketball team took control in the second half for a road victory over the Camden-Frontier Redskins in Tuesday's SCAA showdown.
Pittsford (9-2, 7-1 SCAA) struggled early to solve the Redskins' defense. Camden-Frontier (5-7, 3-5 SCAA) held a three-point lead after the first quarter, but the Wildcats fought back to take a 23-22 lead into halftime.
Switching the pace of the game into its liking, Pittsford outscored the Redskins 33-21 in the second half to take the win.
"We started slow and Camden had a good plan for us," Pittsford coach Mike Burger said. "They really battled us hard. We were able to slow the game to our liking in the second half and executed better."
The Redskins kept itself in striking distance in the fourth quarter, but was unable to get hot from the floor at critical times.
"The effort was there and we have nothing to hang our heads about," Camden-Frontier coach Jason Holubik said. "Our defensive intensity was fantastic, but we struggled from outside, which is frustrating because we had a lot of good looks."
Kyler Lee had 19 points and seven assists to lead the Wildcats. Luke Smith added 15 points and nine rebounds, while Andy Houser had 10 points and 12 rebounds. Josh Vance finished with nine points and six assists.
Ethan Riddell had 18 points and eight rebounds to lead Camden-Frontier. Alec Dahlstrom added 10 points, while Zac Malone grabbed five rebounds.
Both teams play SCAA home games Friday. Pittsford will host Colon, while the Redskins host Tekonsha.
North Adams-Jerome 44, Burr Oak 38
After waiting through two games, the North Adams-Jerome High School boys basketball team rallied in the fourth quarter for a SCAA home victory over the Burr Oak Bobcats on Tuesday.
North Adams-Jerome (5-6, 3-4 SCAA) hosted a basketball tripleheader, and the varsity boys game was the final one on the schedule. The Rams struggled in the first half and trailed 24-20 at intermission. While Burr Oak played an aggressive defense, the Rams were unable to take advantage at the free-throw line, shooting just 8-of-29 from the stripe on the night.
The game turned in the fourth quarter, as Trevor Miller scored eight points in the frame as North Adams-Jerome outscored the Bobcats 16-8 to take the win.
"We worked the ball well in the fourth quarter and actually shot 50 percent (4-of-8) from the free-throw line," North Adams-Jerome coach Gary Beach said. "We finally got past their defense and scored some easy baskets."
Eric McCormick had 19 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and six steals to lead the Rams. Miller finished with 10 points, while Joseph Crosby grabbed seven rebounds.
Kenny Walston scored 13 points to lead Burr Oak.
The Rams will host Colon for their homecoming game Friday.
Jonesville 46, Athens 41
Kyler Gimenez and Kyle Jones both scored in double figures Tuesday as the Jonesville High School boys basketball team scored a road victory over the Athens Indians in a Big Eight Conference game.
Jonesville (4-7, 2-3 Big Eight) controlled the first half. Leading by two after the first quarter, the Comets scored 16 points in the second and stretched their lead to 26-19 by halftime. Jonesville then held off Athens in the second half to clinch the win.
"We were consistent the whole game, which is something we've struggled with at times this season," Jonesville coach Larry Sheerer said.
Gimenez had 15 points and four assists to lead Jonesville, while Jones added 12 points and five rebounds. Aaron Cleveland had six points and three steals and Caleb Taylor also scored six points. Wesley Racker grabbed four rebounds.
The Comets will host Springport for another Big Eight game Friday.
Climax-Scotts 71, Litchfield 21
The Litchfield High School boys basketball team had no answer for No. 2-ranked Climax-Scotts in Tuesday's Southern Central Athletic Association home loss.
Devin Conley scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Litchfield. Colt Tefft had six points and five rebounds, while Wyatt Langhann dished out four assists for the Terriers.
Litchfield will host Jackson Christian for a SCAA game Friday.
Colts top Tekonsha; Pittsford outlasts Redskins

Thomas Kopelman scored 35 points in Lutheran's season opener and never slowed, surpassing 2,000 career points, leading the Crusaders to the state Class 3A boys basketball semifinals and being named Thursday second-team All-State by The Associated Press.
The AP selects five players to its first team and five to its second team in Class 3A and 4A. Kopelman was the only area player picked. Belvidere's Joe Byers made honorable mention in Class 3A. Auburn's Laytwan Porter and Boylan's Brock Stull were honorable mention in 4A. Porter, the only junior in the group, was the third-highest vote-getter among the honorable mentions.
Kopelman, a 6-foot-3 senior guard, averages 22.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists for No. 8-ranked Lutheran (30-3), which plays No. 1 Lincoln in today's Class 3A state semifinals in Peoria.
"It's a great honor," Kopelman said in a phone interview from Peoria. "I didn't really expect to be on it, but being on one of the only four teams left helps. It always helps being on a team that wins a lot of games."
Kopelman led Lutheran in scoring in 26 of 33 games and in rebounding 17 times. He has scored at least 30 points five times and passed former Rutgers star Eric Clark as the school's all-time leading scorer. He has shot 53 percent from the field, including 46 percent on 3-pointers. His 122 3-pointers are tied for 15th most in an IHSA season, 24 short of the record by Princeville's Aaron Long.
His 354 career 3-pointers are fourth all time.
"My goal this year was to make 100," said Kopelman, who has signed with Division II Minnesota State-Mankato.

Last week's shootings at Deer Creek Middle School were an awful reminder of the events at Columbine and Platte Canyon. Yet in the midst of our concern for the two wounded students, there was also cause to celebrate the heroic actions of Dr. David Benke, a math teacher whose split-second decision to tackle the shooter undoubtedly saved lives.

Which has worse writing: Rhonda Byrne's The Secret (Atria) and Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Plume)?
Both are among the finalists for 2008 Delete Key Awards, the winners of which will be announced on Friday. And One-Minute Book Reviews welcomes comments that could help with this difficult choice. Here are some of the passages from The Secret and A New Earth that qualified them for the shortlist:
From The Secret:
"The most common thought that people hold [about fat], and I held it too, is that food was responsible for my weight gain. That is a belief that does not serve you, and in my mind now it is complete balderdash! Food is not responsible for putting on weight. It is your thought that food is responsible for putting on weight that actually has food put on weight."
From A New Earth:
"We are in the midst of a momentous event in the evolution of human consciousness. But they won't be talking about it in the news tonight. On our planet, and perhaps simultaneously in many parts of our galaxy and beyond, consciousness is awakening from the dream of form. This does not mean all forms (the world) are going to dissolve, although quite a few almost certainly will. It means consciousness can now begin to create form without losing itself in it. It can remain conscious of itself, even while it creates and experiences form."

Hey all
So Ive had my Mag forever, I like the way it shoots. Had a Hyperframe on it long ago till I fried it changing the battery. Since then Its been sitting with the Benchmark single trigger frame on it. Its starting to show wear in the chrome on the rear of the grip and was looking to buy an Intelliframe, but almost all of them that I find are dust black or gloss black... 90% of my Mag is chrome or poished aluminum.
So I have a few options that Ive been debating on:
1) Purchase a new single trigger frame off flea bay, 32 degrees, chrome with grip, minus trigger, $18 shipped. Then try to pneumag this frame? It looks as though this particular frame would need a ton of work
2) Purchase it anyways, try to pnuemag my Benchmark and have the 32 degrees frame if anything goes horribly wrong, from pictures online and looking at my own frame it seems the Benchmark would require less "trimming", milling etc. (most likely do this with a drill press and hand tools)
3) Buy an Intelliframe that seems "somewhat" hard to find, spend hours polishing the anno off to match my mag, then try to pneumag that frame, if I screw it up Im out a "rare" frame and hours of polishing...
It may seem like a clear cut answer to some. But I honestly dont care about walking a trigger, I have a DP G4 that I play with a single finger all day anyway. Id just like to have a crisp, short trigger pull
Also, just to humor me, Ive read a bunch of threads that recommend sending a frame off to get this done... how much is this service typically?
This is what I want to put it on, and have it look exactly how it is now when finished (just no reg outside the grip)

Our readers share opinions
Thank you Tim Johnson. The motel proposal sounded like so much double talk, but I wasn't sure. Now I can only hope that the City government won't turn the City checkbook over to those who seem to be afraid of the free enterprise system. Want a new restaurant? There are four closed ones, so open one and let the free market decide.
I appreciate Belinda Larsen continuing to remind us that we have some pretty nice and special people living in our little town. Thanks, Belinda.
Why does everything have to be so hard? There's absolutely nothing wrong with giving a hotel some tax incentives. This town could certainly use a nice hotel and as a tax payer, I don't have a problem with making Augusta look attractive to the potential business.
Stan Taylor is a great guy and it's nice to see him getting some recognition for the work he's doing around the lake.

Here is yet another photograph of a newly married couple and again I have no idea who they are.
There are even less clues than the photograph I posted two weeks ago. This time there is no photographer name or any indication of location.
The couple look really happy and it seems like they have just enjoyed their reception meal.
I think that the period is maybe late 1940's or early 1950's. I am going to take the advice from readers who commented on my last wedding photograph of a mystery couple and try to research the fashion of the 1940's and 1950's. Also perhaps post it on a family history forum and see what happens.
Anyway, whoever they are I hope that they had a wonderful life together.

ChainLockerGenerator: A Python Script to Generate a Customized ChainLocker
ChainLocker[Ex] is generic, but does require some customization in regard to the depth of the hierarchy it needs to support and to address whether you want
ChainLocker (no shared state) or
ChainLockerEx (with shared state). You may opt create one file with many variations or just the one particular configuration you need. I decided to create a little Python program that can generate any combination of
ChainLockers based on a few text templates. The added benefit is that if I decide to add a new feature or modify the design, I don't have to go and edit all the instances manually. I can edit just the templates and regenerate everything. For example, if I decide that the first level lock should be
ReaderWriterLockSlim instead of the standard
Monitor, I can add this option to the script and generate any combination of locks for my
ChainLocker instances. The code and templates for ChainLockerGenerator are available on GitHub. Here is the usage message that explains how to use it:
""" Usage: python ChainLockerGenerator.py <namespace> <N> [kind] namespace - The C# namespace of your project N - the maximal number of stages to generate Kind - one of standard, extended, both ChainLockerGenerator generates a C# file that contains multiple generic ChainLocker classes. If you don't know what that is you have no business running this script :-) There are two variants of chain lockers: standard and extended. The extended one provides a shared state that is not locked to the stage operations. Each generated instance has a certain number of stages that are locked. All instances from 2 to N will be generated. For example, if you specified N=4 then 3 instances will be generated with 2, 3 and 4 stages. If you specified Kind=standard (or omitted it) only the standard instances will be generated. If you specified Kind=extended only the extended instances will be generated. If you specified both then you get both standard and extended. Everything is printed out to standard output as a single C# module with the namespace you chose. The standard instances are named ChainLocker<T1,...,Tn>. The extended instances are named ChainLockerEx<T, T1,...,Tn> """
Implementing with ChainLocker
Let's implement a few operations of the online school with
ChainLocker and discuss it from a concurrent programming point of view. Before I go on, remember that the purpose of this code is to demonstrate how to use
ChainLocker. It is not industrial strength and is not part of any real-world system.
Listing Two contains the abstract object model of the school's central scheduling service. It consists of an
ILecture interface that contains
classes, an
IClass interface that contains
students, a
Student class with and associated
ID and the
IClass it attends, and a
enum shared by
lectures and
classes (
LIVE or
Listing Two
using System.Collections.Generic; namespace LectureManager { public enum Status { LIVE, CANCELLED, REMOVED } public interface ILecture { int ID { get; set; } Status Status { get; set; } IEnumerable<IClass> Classes { get; } IClass FindAvailableClass(); IClass LookupClass(int classId); void RemoveClass(int classId); void AddClass(IClass theClass); } public interface IClass { int LectureID { get; set; } int ID { get; set; } Status Status { get; set; } IEnumerable<int> Students { get; } void AddStudent(int studentId); void ExpelStudent(int studentId); } public class Student { public int ID { get; set; } public int ClassID { get; set; } // attending class } public class Stats { public int TotalClasses; public int TotalStudents; } }
Removing a Student
A student may be removed from a class for one of several reasons: The lecturer decides to expel the student, the entire class is cancelled, or the student joins a new lecture/class. The service doesn't really care. From concurrency point of view, it's important to lock the class that the student is removed from because the class manages the student list. If multiple students need to be removed from the same class (say, if the class is cancelled), it makes sense to lock the class once and remove all the students instead of locking out each student. The
IClass interface has an
ExpelStudent() that handles all the mundane details like removing the student from the student list and notifying other interested parties. This method can be called by several other methods that are responsible for locking (via
SchoolLocker, of course) at the right granularity. Here is the code for the external
ExpelStudent() method. Notice its concision:
public void ExpelStudent(int lectureId, int classId, int studentId) { new SchoolLocker().Do( _lectures, lectures => LookupLecture(lectures, lectureId), lecture => lecture.LookupClass(classId), theClass => theClass.ExpelStudent(studentId)); }
The first delegate uses the
LookupLecture() method to look for the proper lecture, locking the entire lectures tree just for the brief moment it takes to look up the class. The second delegate finds the proper class (again locking the lecture just for the brief moment needed to find the class). Finally, the third delegate actually expels the student.
Canceling a Class
Canceling a class is a little more complicated. The service needs to expel all the students and then get rid of the class itself (remove it from the
class list managed by the
lecture). This means that it needs to lock the
lecture when removing the
class. One way to do it is to lock the
lecture, expel all the
students, and finally remove the
class. But that means locking the
lecture for a relatively long time, which will block all threads that may want to access other classes. Another approach is to find the
class, release the
lecture, and then set the
class status to
CANCELLED first (thus unlocking the
lecture), and then proceed to expel all the students. Other threads may work with other
classes of this
lecture. Once all the students have been expelled, the schedule service can start a new
SchoolLocker instance and (in its
Do() method) remove the class. Note that once the first
SchoolLocker.Do() method completes, the cancelled class will be unlocked, and other threads may try to access the class before it is removed. This is OK because its status is CANCELLED, so it will not be available to other threads.
public void CancelClass(int lectureId, int classId) { // Set the class status to CANCELLED new SchoolLocker().Do( _lectures, lectures => LookupLecture(lectures, lectureId), lecture => lecture.LookupClass(classId), theClass => { theClass.Status = Status.CANCELLED; foreach (var studentId in theClass.Students) { theClass.ExpelStudent(studentId); } }); // Remove the cancelled class from its lecture new SchoolLocker().Do( _lectures, lectures => LookupLecture(lectures, lectureId), lecture => { lecture.RemoveClass(classId); return null; }, null); }
Canceling a Lecture
Canceling a
lecture is very much like canceling a class except that in order to remove the lecture, we need to cancel all the classes properly and expel all the students because there may be other parts of the system that depend on orderly cancellation. We must ensure that once the lecture is cancelled, each of its classes is locked directly (to avoid conflicts with other threads that might have started working on a class before the lecture was cancelled) and all its students are expelled. Finally, the lecture is removed from the lectures tree (with a simple lock):
public void CancelLecture(int lectureId) { ILecture cancelledLecture = null; // Set the lecture status to CANCELLED new SchoolLocker().Do( _lectures, lectures => LookupLecture(lectures, lectureId), lecture => { lecture.Status = Status.CANCELLED; cancelledLecture = lecture; return null; }, null); // Now cancel all the classes and expel all their students foreach (var theClass in cancelledLecture.Classes) { lock (theClass) { theClass.Status = Status.CANCELLED; } foreach (var studentId in theClass.Students) { theClass.ExpelStudent(studentId); } } // Finally, remove the lecture from the lectures dictionary lock (_lectures) { _lectures.Remove(lectureId); } }
Getting Statistics
Getting statistics out of a highly multithreaded service involves trade-offs. You can lock the whole system and accumulate your statistics: This will give you an exact snapshot, but will freeze your system for the duration of statistics collection. Alternatively, you can iterate over your data structures without locking and know that you collect data from a system in flux, and by the time you finish, some of the statistics will already be stale. For example, suppose you just want to count how many students attend classes at a given moment. If you just iterate over all the classes and count their students without locking, you may count students that were expelled by the time you finish your count, but also include students that attended a class after you started your count. You may even count the same student twice if that individual switched classes while you were counting. There are other approaches, such as copying your entire state and calculating your statistics off the copy. That makes sense if your data structures don't take much space, but is inefficient if your statistics computations are sophisticated and take a relatively long time to compute.
Here, I implement the simplest approach of just locking everything and counting classes and students. There is no need for
SchoolLocker in this scenario because we lock the entire lectures tree, so a simple lock will suffice:
public Stats GetStatistics() { var stats = new Stats(); lock (_lectures) { foreach (var lecture in _lectures.Values) { foreach (var theClass in lecture.Classes) { stats.TotalClasses += 1; stats.TotalStudents += theClass.Students.Count(); } } } return stats; }
Concurrent programming will become ubiquitous as the number of cores continues to increase and more threads are expected to execute in parallel. To take advantage of all these cores, you'll have to make sure your code is thread-safe and doesn't use too coarse a locking strategy. The
ChainLocker construct can assist you by providing an abstraction of safe fine-grained locking for hierarchical data structures that hides most of the gnarly locking details.

LONGMONT -- A Lyons man accused of causing a DUI-related fatal wreck in December was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of violating his bond conditions and charges in a new case, according to court records.
Dwight Kinard, 67, is facing a September trial on charges of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, and four counts of careless driving. According to court documents, Colorado State Patrol investigators believe Kinard's BAC was .209 at the time of the Dec. 15, 2012, wreck that left his passenger, 74-year-old Jane Williams, dead. Investigators believe Kinard -- who also was badly hurt in the crash -- was driving a 2006 Toyota Highlander east on Colo. Highway 66 and attempted a left turn on a yellow light in front of oncoming traffic. A 2007 Hummer H3 that was traveling west through the intersection struck the Highlander. One of the Hummer's passengers was badly injured and Williams died on scene, according to court records. Three other passengers in the Hummer suffered minor injuries, including the driver, records show.
Kinard referred to Williams as his wife when he spoke to troopers. During the interview at Longmont United Hospital, Kinard wept and troopers noticed his speech was slurred. He agreed to perform roadside maneuvers and failed to complete them properly. Three blood samples were taken at the hospital after the wreck, registering BAC levels of .151, .120, and .096. The samples were sent to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for an extrapolation to back to the time of the crash, which concluded the .209 BAC level when the crash happened.
According to court records, the Boulder County Sheriff's Office sought a new warrant for his arrest on suspicion of burglary and violating his bond conditions. He is due in court on the new case on July 26 for charging.
No details were immediately available regarding the burglary.

City parts ways with embattled officer
Jun 7, 2013
By Nicole Montesano
Of the News-Register
Embattled McMinnville police officer Tim Heidt no longer works for the city, the News-Register has learned.
City Attorney Candace Haines confirmed Friday that Heidt's employment ended Thursday. She declined to elaborate, saying, "As this is a personnel matter, I can't discuss in further under the terms of ORS 192.501(12)," and Chief Ron Noble was out of town.
The News-Register is in the process of preparing a public records request, arguing that in such a controversial and highly publicized case, the public interest in the workings of its police department outweighs the privacy right of an individual officer.
Heidt has been involved in two high-profile incidents in recent years — the beating of a bystander in a 2010 drunk driving stop and a drunken off-duty brawl in Seaside two years later.
The beating led to the filing of a federal lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages, predicated on use of excessive force.
According to a court filing confirmed by local officials, a settlement has now been reached. They have promised to release the terms as soon as opposing attorneys have finalized the details, in the interest of openness and transparency.

LONGMONT -- Neighbors of the former Johnson's Corner gas station asked for its historical status to be revoked Thursday, saying 10 years has been too long to wait for its promised restoration.
"Ten years of decay, and each year it goes down a bit," said Noelle Abarelli, a resident of the Prospect neighborhood, to Longmont's Historic Preservation Commission. "It's time for some decisions."
Built in 1937, Johnson's Corner is mentioned in Jack Kerouac's "On the Road." It was designed by Colorado architect Eugene Groves from a patented method of reinforced concrete construction, and is considered an example of Art Deco-Pueblo style architecture.
But it's also been a conundrum for those wanting to do something with the place. The building once sat on Main Street, but had to be moved in 2003 to keep it from being demolished. Developer Kiki Wallace relocated the building to Prospect -- the neighborhood he built -- intending it to be a showpiece once restored.
But funding for the restoration never came. The building got local landmark status in 2007, but an application for state grant money fell through two years later.
Over time, residents said, the building has steadily deteriorated, becoming a home for animals, a magnet for teens, and a source of debris that blows into the nearby pool on windy days.
"This is a burned-out building in Iraq," said Prospect business-owner Edward Vanegas as he clicked through a series of slides. "And this is Johnson's Corner. They're similar."
Wallace had applied in March to revoke the landmark status -- which would permit either demolition or more extensive rehabilitation than its historic standing would allow -- but soon after put the application on hold. A revocation can only be initiated by the property's owner, the preservation commission or the City Council; the council has the final decision.
Jim West of Historic Longmont asked that the landmark status stay. The reasons for the designation are still valid, he said, and while the state was unlikely to approve a lump sum for the restoration of Johnson's Corner (guessed to run between $500,000 and $750,000), a phased, piecemeal approach might draw a series of smaller grants.
"There is a community benefit that could be gained by restoring and rehabilitating this particular structure," West said.
"Do you have a timeline?" commissioner Sara Barnes asked. "If we go 10 more years, then this is going to be on the ground."
Johnson's Corner's landmark status was based on its style and because it had been a business that did not enforce segregation rules.
The commission said it wanted more information before considering a revocation hearing, including an assessment of the damage to Johnson's Corner and the likelihood of its restoration.
"Is it really feasible to put this building back together?" Barnes asked. "Are we wishing for something that's not going to happen?"
Commissioners also may visit the site to study its condition personally.
Wallace attended the meeting but left immediately after its resolution; he could not be reached for comment.
Commissioner Eric Hozempa urged the rest of the board to be ready to make a decision in its September meeting.
"We're not just kicking the can down the road," he said.
If the commission asks city staff in September to start the revocation process, a hearing would be scheduled and the commission would vote at that hearing on a recommendation. The decision would then come to the City Council for a final vote.
Scott Rochat can be reached at 303-684-5220 or email@example.com.

Crystal Palace co-chairman Steve Parish believes Neil Warnock will prove a "safe pair of hands" after the veteran manager began a second spell in charge at Selhurst Park.
Warnock signed a two-year deal at Palace on Wednesday to make a surprise return, four years after leaving when the Eagles slipped into administration.
He moved on to QPR, who sacked Warnock in January 2012 with the club 17th in the Premier League after he had guided them to the top flight for the first time in 15 years, and went on to work for Leeds but achieved scant success at Elland Road.
Parish turned to Warnock after giving up on the idea of appointing Malky Mackay when the Scot admitted to sending a series of "completely unacceptable" text messages during his time in charge of Cardiff.
"Malky was someone who interviewed very well," Parish said on Wednesday. "It was impossible to offer him the job. From a footballing point of view Malky was a very good candidate but unfortunately there were things that obviously meant we couldn't bring him to the club."
At the age of 65, Warnock is unlikely to prove the long-term solution that Palace were aiming for, but he could have a kingmaking role next summer when he and Parish consider the club's long-term future.
In the short term, Parish and Warnock were preparing to discuss transfer targets ahead of Monday's deadline for summer deals.
"There's plenty more work to do," Parish told Sky Sports News HQ.
"We've got the transfer window closing on Monday and I think he'd want to bring a few in, so hopefully we've got some more good news for supporters in the next few days."
Palace have lost their opening two Premier League matches to Arsenal and West Ham, having been jolted by the surprise departure of manager Tony Pulis on the eve of the season.
In Warnock, Parish is certain he has found an ideal successor to Pulis.
"I've known Neil since the club went into administration. Funnily enough the first time I met Neil properly was when we flew to Newcastle the night we went into admin," Parish said. Palace are at Newcastle on Saturday.
"He's someone who has always been helpful to me and offered advice and I think he's a safe pair of hands for us right now.
"I think he's got unfinished business. I think he's got things he wants to prove to himself. I think he likes the club and has a lot of affection for the fans and he felt a good fit."
Parish has "succession planning" on his mind, hoping to build a solid structure at the club.
"Once we get this season out of the way Neil and I will sit down and talk about that and hopefully we can plan the future for the club in a more considered fashion," Parish said.
After Mackay, Tim Sherwood, Neil Lennon, Steve Clarke and Glenn Hoddle were linked to the position, it came out of the blue for Warnock to leapfrog to the front of the queue.
"We never offered the job to anybody else," Parish said. "No job offer was made to any manager other than Neil, and that's the person we want to go forward with."
Warnock's former Palace assistant Mick Jones believes his old boss is still hurting from the way he left QPR.
Jones, who worked with Warnock for eight years at Sheffield United, Palace, QPR and Leeds, knows his friend is desperate for another chance.
"The last time we were never in the bottom three and I know that rankles with Neil, how he got the sack and had never been in the relegation zone," Jones told Press Association Sport.
"There's something about Neil and Palace that rings true. He never regretted being there, he loved living there, his family were happy and he was sad to leave.
"He is steeped in management success and promotions and when you look around at candidates for Premier League roles, I can't see a better one.
"Since Sunday League football, since day one, Neil and football management have been a marriage.
"He has got the thickest hide I have ever known."

We've all heard our mothers and teachers tell us to stand up straighter, and it turns out that it's pretty good advice. Here's why...
Today's post comes from Lucas Meyers, physical therapist and athletic trainer with ATI Physical Therap.
"Straighten up!" We've all heard our mothers or teachers tell us this time after time…and as we grow older and have pain in our back, shoulders, and neck, we start to think they offered pretty valuable advice! This pain often comes from repeatedly poor posture.
To correct and maintain good posture, I suggest the following these tips:
1. Use the balls of your feet to bear your body weight.
2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent and arms hanging naturally along the sides of your body.
3. Your earlobes should be in line with your shoulders. Don't push your head forward.
4. Pull your shoulders back, and stand tall and straight.
5. Engage your abdominal muscles, and tuck your stomach in.
6. When standing for a long time, shift weight from one foot to the other, or from heels to toes.
1. Keep your head up, eyes forward, with your chin parallel to the ground.
2. Don't push your head forward.
3. Keep your shoulders back and aligned with the rest of the body.
4. Touch the ground with your heel first to help ensure alignment and balance.
Lying or Sleeping
1. Your mattress should be firm enough to keep your spine in a straight alignment, without compromising comfort.
2. Sleeping on your back or side is preferred over your stomach.
3. Use a pillow to fill the curve of your neck. Your head shouldn't be higher or lower than your spine.
4. If sleeping on your side, place a pillow between your legs.
5. If sleeping on your back, place a pillow under your knees.
1. Be sure your shoulders are straight, your back is aligned against the chair, and avoid slouching or leaning forward.
2. Be sure the chair is designed to support your low-and mid-back.
3. When sitting at a desk, arms should be bent at a 90 degree angle at your elbows.
4. Keep your knees and hips in line with each other, with your feet flat on the floor.
5. Don't sit in the same position for too long. Get up, move around and stretch.
1. Sit with your back aligned against the seat for proper back support.
2. Adjust your seat so your arms have a slight bend when gripping the wheel, and your knees are even with your hips.
3. The headrest should support the middle of your head.
If your posture has you in a painful slump, stop by your closest ATI for a Complimentary Injury Screening. We'll evaluate you and provide you with options for continued care.

Just a couple of days after I throw him a bone, the Chicago Bears first-year head coach Marc Trestman went out and had his first real blunder as the leader of an NFL team.
Last week I wrote a column about how Bearsfans can rest easy because it appears that Chicago made a good choice on their new head coach. I don't back away from that, but his inability to see that the team would have been better off by putting Josh McCown in at quarterback way earlier than they did last Sunday had best be a learning experience.
"It's very tough to pull your starting quarterback out when he's throwing the ball with velocity, when he's hitting his receivers and he's able to move in the pocket," Trestman explained Monday. "And on all three of those, indications confirmed with me that I should keep him in there."
He wasn't watching the same Cutty I was then.
Jeffery's rise helps Marshall
Alshon Jeffery has turned into a true weapon at wide receiver, and teammate Brandon Marshall admitted this week he's feeling the affects these days. Marshall has more receptions (178) than any other player in the NFL since joining the Bears, and his 19 TD catches since being traded to Chicago is second only to Dez Bryant (20) as well.
He'll only get better now that he and Jeffery have combined for 1,521 receiving yards this season, the most among any tandem in the league.
"I'm seeing less doubles, less brackets," Marshall said. "And now we're starting to see teams even roll over Alshon's way."
Quote of Week
Rookie linebacker Jon Bostic, on replacing D.J. Williams at middle linebacker: "When he went down, he texted me right away, and said 'There can't be any dropoff, dude. You've got to step right in, and don't be the one. Don't be the reason.'"
Stat of Week
In Baltimore QB Joe Flacco's only start vs. the Bears in 2009, he threw a career-high four TD passes and accumulated a career-high 135.6 passer rating. Here's hoping history doesn't repeat itself on Sunday.
