All's well that ends well, they say. That's the way the Waynesboro Indians varsity wrestling regular season ended on Thursday against West Perry on Senior Night at the Waynesboro Area Senior High School gym.
WAYNESBORO — All's well that ends well, they say.
That's the way the Waynesboro Indians varsity wrestling regular season ended on Thursday against West Perry on Senior Night at the Waynesboro Area Senior High School gym.
A tribute to the team's five seniors preceded the meet as Wes Cline, Steven Egolf, Colby Mowen, Andrew Paterno and Jesse Smith were introduced. After a brief warmup by each team, action commenced with the 285-pound match in which the Mustangs got off to a 6-0 lead after a third-period pin.
West Perry won two of the next three bouts to take a 15-6 lead, but the Indians unleashed six straight wins and went on to notch a 46-27 victory.
"That was a desperation win," said Waynesboro head coach Eric Mowen, whose team finished the season with a 7-10 record. "The kids wanted to win so bad. The effort was there, and when we had the opportunity to get pins, we got pins."
It was Egolf, an unheralded but hard-nosed grappler who has wrestled up during the season, that brought the crowd to its feet and put an exclamation point on the season of the team's seniors. Egolf shocked Cameron Demby by somehow escaping a cradle hold and turning Demby's shoulders to the mat for a pin that gave the Indians a 43-21 lead.
All four seniors who wrestled won their respective matches, including three by pin.
Andrew Paterno won a war of attrition in the 220-pound match against Mark Shelley, 3-2, earning a takedown in the third period to snap a 1-1 tie after each wrestler earned escape points.
Egolf's win not only sealed the team win but came at a point when the Mustangs were showing signs of a comeback. Kyle Boose recorded a pin in the 170-pound match to cut the deficit to 37-21. With a Waynesboro forfeit looming at 195 pounds, the 182-pound match suddenly became the swing match.
"Steven has wrestled up for us all year," Mowen said. "He's been a total team player. When Steven wrestles, he's never out of a match. I've never seen a kid who can catch a kid like he can. He slipped out of a hold and pinned him. He was dead in the water. He was losing 5-0 and the kid locked up a far cradle and Steven slipped his arm out and posted up, and it was over."
Demby appeared to have the strength advantage on Egolf, taking his counterpart down early in the first period and applying what looked like an unbreakable cradle. But Egolf somehow used his Houdini-like powers to break free and turn the tables on Demby.
"It was amazing," Mowen said. "For us that was the turning point of the match. That momentum swing made a huge difference."
Fellow seniors Colby Mowen (126) and Wes Cline (145) also won by pin, giving Waynesboro important bonus points. Mowen had been out of action due to injury since the Garden Spot Duals back on Jan. 26.
Aiden Smith (160) also won by fall, while Cody Frey (126) earned a major decision and daniel Shields scored a three-point decision in the 152-pound match.
Freshman 106-pounder Ryan Neff led the charge of the pin brigade, turning Michael Vital to the mat in just 38 seconds to tie the score at six. The Mustangs recorded a pin and a decision in the next two matches, including a low-scoring 2-0 win by Benjamin Allwein over Aaron Laymn in the 120-pound match.
Waynesboro will have a two-week layoff before the Section I tournament on Feb. 16.

CRANBERRY TWP — An Allegheny County man broke through the front door of a township home only to find himself facing the barrel of a pistol, police said.
Township officers got to the house in the 200 block of Heston Drive and found suspected burglar Matthew A. Fettis on the floor held at gunpoint by homeowner Joseph Eisel.
Officers promptly arrested Fettis, 27, of Richland Township, who apparently was intoxicated.
"It was a crazy day," the 51-year-old Eisel said this morning in recounting his ordeal.
Fettis, who remains in the Butler County Prison on $100,000 bail, is charged with burglary, trespass, criminal mischief and public drunkenness.
"He was standing over me at the foot of the bed," Eisel said.
"I was startled. I yelled, 'What are you doing here?'"
The suspect, apparently startled, too, ran out of the room and down the hallway.
Immediately, Eisel went for his 9 mm pistol he keeps loaded in a closet next to the bed.
"It's was just instinct," he said. "You jump up and protect your family."

David and Jason Benham say they have no hard feelings toward HGTV after the network canceled their series, "Flip It Forward," over reports the brothers are "anti-gay, anti-choice extremists."
The brothers told Erin Burnett on her CNN show "OutFront" that they feel bad for HGTV and believe the network was "bullied" and "pushed into" canceling their show, which was supposed to premiere in October.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the guys said they weren't given a specific reason for the cancellation. The controversy started when David's 2012 interview with conservative radio host Janet Mefferd came to light
Notice how I didn't write that the interview came out.
"We have abortion on demand; we have no-fault divorce; we have pornography and perversion; we have a homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation; we have adultery; we have all of the things ... while the church sits silent and just builds big churches," he said.
We also have dogs and cats living together ... don't forget that.
When asked if he still stood by his words, David told Burnett: "Never have I ever spoken against homosexuals as individuals and gone against them. I speak about an agenda ... that is seeking to silence the voices of men and women of faith. That's what all this is about."
Ironically, some of us have never heard of these guys until now.
David said, "We love homosexuals and we love Muslims and we have absolutely nothing against the people."
Notice how he left out dogs and cats.
Jason said he believes having a "pro-family" stance "isn't allowed" on television, adding: "Our heart breaks for HGTV."
"They believed in us," David explained. "They believed in our show and our expertise in real estate. They were willing to take a chance with us, and we were putting out some great footage. But when all of this media firestorm happened around some of my comments, it was just -- it was too much for them to bear, and they had to make a business decision."

Luther dug itself a hole early, trailing the Dutch 9-0 just three minutes into today's 22-12 loss in Pella. Despite the early set-back, the Norse battled back to within three points midway through the third stanza, but another turnover led to today's final outcome.
On the very first play from scrimmage, the Norse fumbled, and three plays later the Dutch led 7-0. On the very next series, Central blocked a Luther punt, that traveled out of the end zone for a safety.
Midway through the second quarter, Luther put together an 81-yard drive on seven plays, capped off by a six-yard run by JJ Sirios. Sirios, who led the rushing attack with 79 yards on 14 carries, left the game midway through the fourth quarter with what could be a season ending injury.
Central held a 15-6 halftime advantage after turning a Norse fumble into a 28-yard field goal with 10 seconds left in the half.
The Norse pulled to withing three points (15-12) with 4:07 left in the third quarter. A one-yard plunge by Josh Vos, his 11th touchdown of the season, completed a 15-play drive that covered 68 yards.
Central scored its final touchdown of the afternoon recovering a bad snap on a punt by the Norse, in the end zone with nine seconds left in the third.
Defensively, Luther held Central to 239 yards of total offense. Matt Larson and Aric Elton led the way with 15 and 13 tackles respectively.
The loss gives Luther a league record of 1-3, while Central improved to 2-2. The Norse will return home one week from today and will host Buena Vista University. Kick-off will take place in Carlson Stadium at 1:00 p.m.

LONDON — BP, the British oil company, said Thursday it would pay $4.5 billion in fines and other payments to the U.S. government and plead guilty to 14 criminal charges in connection with the giant oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico two years ago.
LONDON — BP, the British oil company, said Thursday it would pay $4.5 billion in fines and other payments to the U.S. government and plead guilty to 14 criminal charges in connection with the giant oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico two years ago.
The payments include a $4 billion fine to be paid over five years, with much of it to go to government environmental agencies, BP said in a statement.
As part of the settlement, BP pleaded guilty to 11 felony misconduct or neglect charges related to the deaths of 11 people in the Deepwater Horizon accident in 2010, which unleashed millions of barrels of oil into the gulf.
A law enforcement official familiar with the case also said two BP employees would be charged with manslaughter in the case. The U.S. attorney general, Eric H. Holder Jr., was scheduled to hold a news conference in New Orleans later Thursday.
"Today's agreement is consistent with BP's position in the ongoing civil litigation that this was an accident resulting from multiple causes, involving multiple parties, as found by other official investigations," the company said in a news release.
The company said it was in advanced talks with the United States about settling all criminal claims stemming from the spill.
Even with a settlement on the criminal claims, BP would still be subject to other claims, including federal civil claims and claims for damages to natural resources.
In particular, this settlement does not include what is potentially the largest penalty: fines under the Clean Water Act. The potential fine for the spill under the Clean Water Act is $1,100 to $4,300 per barrel spilled. That means the fine could be as much as $21 billion, according to Peter Hutton of RBC Capital Markets in London.
BP repeatedly said it would like to reach a settlement with claimants if the terms were reasonable. The unresolved issue of the claims has been weighing on BP's share price as the oil company has been under pressure from investors to move on from the disastrous oil spill that had hurt the company's reputation and finances.
An explosion in 2010 on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico that was connected to a well owned by BP killed 11 oil workers and spilled millions of barrels of oil into the surrounding water.

During his flights from Denver to New York and Los Angeles, Dakota Ridge High School student Graham Stookey has more on his mind than most of his peers.
As many of his fellow seniors begin stressing about prom dates and college acceptance letters, Graham is negotiating terms with record labels on both coasts, choosing a deal that could help solidify his musical career and make him a household name.
But just months ago the 18-year-old singer-songwriter, generally recognized as a talented kid with a boisterous, affable personality, was in their teen-angst shoes. Graham was drifting in the restlessness of his final year of high school, eager to move on.
But that all changed on Oct. 16, when Graham's best friend, Keith Wall, made a video of his original song "Jonah."
Wall, also a guitar player at Dakota Ridge, joked at the end of the recording that if teen pop star Justin Bieber could attain fame, so too could Graham, who consequently exploded in laughter.
But a week later the video, which reportedly sparked initial interest because of the "Justin Bieber" tag in its title, had accrued more than 100,000 views on YouTube.
Graham received a phone call from a California-based entertainment marketing and development firm, representatives who ultimately became his managers. And record labels began contacting him.
"He filmed it. He put it on YouTube. I didn't think anything of it, because I had always reality-checked myself out of ever thinking anything could happen," Stookey said at a March 9 interview at his family's home near Dakota Ridge. "We put the video up, and then a week later it explodes. I get a text in chemistry class. … Last time I (had) checked it was 10,000. I thought 10,000 views was incredible. I was fine if it stopped right there."
To date, the original video has been watched more than 337,000 times, and Graham has performed on Ryan Seacrest's website, CBS News and Oprah, where he unexpectedly was provided an impromptu jam session with rock legend Lenny Kravitz.
"I knew nothing about the Lenny Kravitz thing. I always thought that off-stage surprises were a load of crap, but they're not," Graham said.
Kravitz also handed him an autographed electric guitar.
"I nearly passed out, as he walks out in all his rock-star glory. He's the epitome of a rock star. It was a dream come true."
If Graham's almost overnight rise to modest fame has been a surprise to anyone, it might be his mother, Shelby.
"Five minutes ago he was a carefree kid in high school, and we wanted him to have a really nice high school year … and then this happens," Shelby said. "This dream really landed on his doorstep. We didn't go looking for it, but it feels like a door he had to walk through, because it wasn't our plan."
Despite Graham's previous plan to attend college — he applied to the Belmont University School of Music in Nashville, Tenn. — his education has been put on hold as he explores the possibility of performing professionally right out of high school.
"School (was) as a social outlet, really, because music's always what I've wanted to do. Everything else was kind of noise," said Graham, who has focused on music despite aptitude in other academic disciplines. "I'm going to get an education; it's just depending on when. … If I can do music for a living now, why would I go spend four years trying to get to a place I can get now?"
Shelby, herself a 2008 graduate of the Denver Seminary, supports the decision.
"College is one of those things that he can pick up later," she said. "I think when you're more mature you appreciate it more, and you actually learn more."
But Graham's post-high school education may be the least of her worries.
While Graham was checking into a posh Los Angeles hotel so he could record a five-song EP, his brother, Collin, a 2008 graduate of Dakota Ridge and a Marine, was in Afghanistan, taking cover from a monsoon under a Humvee.
"I pray for him constantly. … I have my entire church praying for him," Shelby said of Collin. "The weirdest thing about being a parent in this situation is that my family is so entertaining to people, because of the extreme things my kids are doing."
A normal life — for now
Despite being on the cusp of success, Graham is still living a somewhat normal life in South Jeffco, albeit under a magnifying glass.
As the Columbine Courier's staff photographer prepared to take his photo, Shelby called out to Graham, cautioning him to make sure no errant underwear was strewn about the basement floor.
"It's been really fun, because I can experience all of this without having the stress and all the stuff that he goes through. I hear about everything, but I can just kind of sit back and relax," said best friend Wall. "I'm like the only one who sees that entire process."
Wall, whose baby picture sits in a frame near the Stookeys' kitchen, noted that the increased attention to Graham is noticeable at Dakota Ridge.
"Watching Graham at school is hilarious now," Wall said, explaining that students frequently comment to Graham in the halls about his TV appearances. "Girls he hasn't talked to in years are talking to him on Facebook."
Regardless of media coverage noting the comparison of Graham to Bieber, the local musician's viral rise to Internet stardom would be more accurately attributed to his refined chops, skills he honed years ago while practicing, of all things, death metal.
"When I was 13, I picked up the electric guitar for the first time. And throughout junior high I got really into shred death metal. So I grew my hair out really long and started shredding. It was a pretty awkward time of life, but so is every middle school kid's," Graham said. "I would just sit in my basement and drill exercises and kind of get the technical part of it."
But a visit to a John Mayer concert transformed his perspective. With a heightened regard for lyrics and emotion, the young metalhead cut his locks and picked up an acoustic guitar. The techniques he honed in his previous studies transferred surprisingly well to a new genre, making Graham a unique face in a medium that often has more sparkle than skill.
"What makes him unique is proficiency in all those areas. He's a true renaissance man," said Ben Kusin, whose entertainment company, F/AME, manages Graham. "Upon seeing his video on YouTube, it stood me still, because it's rare that you see a kid his age who has that kind of musicality."
Kusin and his business partner, Brian Adler, boarded a flight to Denver a day after contacting Graham, forgoing their tickets to a World Series game that evening.
Though Graham's EP is now available on iTunes, he has yet to select a record company for a full-length album. With so much interest, Graham apparently has his choice among recording giants, Kusin said, explaining that he could not yet say which companies have approached him.
"We are actively speaking to labels on both coasts — all the major labels," Kusin said, noting that a label will suit Graham well if it does not attempt to pigeonhole him. "He's very original and unique, and he needs to be himself throughout his career. … (If all goes well), he will be a household name."
Part of Graham's plan to "get out of his parents' basement," where he practices for about an hour a day, is an Internet campaign designed to raise contributions to cover travel and other expenses. On Indiegogo.com Graham, raised his goal of $15,000 in only three days.
And before he sees his dream of headlining a show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Graham has a lot of writing to do. Despite having completed 10 songs, at least 20 more are in various stages of completion.
"I write music out of experience. I write what I know," he said. "Of course, there's the girl part of it, just because I'm in high school. I'm the kind of kid who wears my heart on my sleeve and gets screwed over all the time, so that gives me plenty of ammunition to write music about."
And though he embodies a self-described up-front attitude, most, including his principal, perceive him as a gregarious student keen to make others feel good about themselves.
"He's this really humble, genuinely nice human being," said Dakota Ridge principal Jim Jelinek. "He's so good to everybody. That's who he is."
And in spite of his potential future as a rock star, Graham is, for now, just another 18-year-old facing transition.
"I'm just a suburban kid from Littleton, Colorado," he said. "This thing just kind of landed on my doorstep, and I'm running with it."

Southampton had a solid first season in the Premier League. Newly promoted, the Saints finished 14th with 41 points. They were only five points and four spots away from relegation, but any newly promoted side that remains in the Premier League should consider their season a success. The Saints have made some bold comments and they reportedly are hoping for a top four finish in the Premier League next season. I'm not sure if Southampton can afford to buy enough quality players for a top four finish, but I think they have a decent chance of fighting for a top ten spot if they improve the squad and maybe, just maybe, fight for a spot in the Europa League with quality signings and lots of luck.
2012-2013 Review
The season started horribly for the Saints, who were 18th in the league after the first 8 games. By January, things weren't much better and Nigel Adkins was sacked. Mauricio Pochettino took over the club two days later and brought much needed change. Under Pochettino, the Saints moved up the table and had some quality wins over teams like Liverpool and Chelsea. Pochettino had four wins and seven draws in 16 games with Southampton and had a stretch of six games where he was undefeated in the Premier League. Southampton also have to be really happy about the play of some key players such as Rickie Lambert and Luke Shaw who look ready to lead the team into their fight towards European play. Those are good signs for the coming days and the Saints fans have to feel good about next season.
Rising or Keeping Form
Southampton have many rising players they should be happy about and it would be tough to list all of them. These players need to continue improving if the Saints are to be successful.
Rickie Lambert – Lambert finished with 15 goals in the Premier League, tied with Frank Lampard for the top English scorer in the competition. Only six players scored more goals, and it's obvious Lambert is the team leader. He is 31 years old, but the fan favorite looks like he can continue being the center piece for this young team and I would put my money on him having more than 15 goals next season.
Luke Shaw – The youngster has been incredible at left back and there was talk of him possibly being called up to the English squad if it wasn't for Ashley Cole. The 17 year old has impressed some big teams, including Chelsea and Manchester United, but Southampton seem keen on keeping him. This must be one of their top priorities this summer.
Gaston Ramirez – The Saints signed Ramirez at the beginning of the year, breaking their transfer fee record for him. The midfielder has paid off, scoring five goals in 20 league games and improving as the season went on. Ramirez is only 22 years old so you can expect him to continue improving.
Morgan Schneiderlin – Schneiderlin is the Saints' work horse. He keeps them going in midfield and has established himself as a top midfielder. He started 36 games last year in the league, the most for his team, and has established himself as a center piece behind Rickie Lambert. If Southampton can keep Ramirez, Shaw, and Schneiderlin, they will have a very good core going forward.
Southampton don't have many declining players. Most of their lack of quality comes from a lack of depth at certain positions.
Arthur Boruc – It was very tough for me place Boruc here in the declining section. Southampton was changing goalkeepers last year faster than Chelsea changes coaches and that prevented anyone from getting into a rhythm. Boruc came out as the favorite midway through the season and established himself as a solid choice. He gained the trust of some fans, but others are calling for his replacement. Another thing to keep in mind is that Boruc is 33 years old. He can probably play another year or two at mid-level, but if the Saints are to fight for a spot in Europe, they need a new goalkeeper who can play at a top level.
Jose Fonte – Fonte hasn't been the greatest of centre-backs. He doesn't have much Premier League experience and that showed early on. Jos Hooiveld and Maya Yoshida were a slight improvement over him, but not much better.
Southampton have a number of holes they need to address this offseason, but their number one priority needs to be keeping their young players in Southampton. There have been rumors about Luke Shaw, Schneiderlin, and Gaston Ramirez leaving and the Saints needs to do everything in their power to keep them at the club.
Centre-back – The entire centre-back position was inexperienced and under qualified for Premier League action. Jos Hooiveld, Maya Yoshida, and Jose Fonte all need to improve drastically to keep their jobs. The Saints already signed Lyon defender Dejan Lovren, who should be a big improvement over the current centre-backs. The Croatian cost £8.5m, and another signing of his stature is probably on the way. This is priority number one by a long stretch.
Striker – Although they have Rickie Lambert and Jay Rodriguez, Southampton don't have much depth at striker. Only Rickie Lambert had more than 6 goals in the league. Expect them to sign at least one striker so they can have more options and depth at the position.
Back up right back – The Saints have Nathaniel Clyne at right back but they reportedly want to give him some competition.
Goalkeeper – Arthur Boruc was discussed in detail above. Long story short, they need a new quality goalkeeper who can be consistent and effective.
Shopping List
Dejan Lovren – As mentioned above, the defender is already signed for a £8.5m fee from Lyon. He should be a good addition and improve the defense drastically.
Davide Astori – Astori is a strong Italian defender who costs around £10m. If the Saints can land him, he can form a very solid back line alongside Dejan Lovren and Luke Shaw. It's reported Astori wants to come to England and Southampton need to take advantage.
Victor Wanyama – Wanyama plays both defensive midfielder and centre-back and he can help the Saints in a number of ways. He is only 21 years old but he's already Kenya's captain, showing his maturity. Pochettino is apparently close with the player's agent, so Southampton might be able to steal him from the powerhouses that are interested in him.
James McCarthy - Midfield is not necessarily a weak point for Southampton, but McCarthy is a very qualified midfielder who can help any Premier League team. He is said to cost around £20m and is probably leaving because his side was relegated. Southampton will have to fight for him if they want his signature, as other teams are also interested.
Radja Nainggolan – Nainggolan is a Belgium winger who can provide depth to an already good Saints winger core. The Belgian plays for Cagliari and is rated around £15m.
Pablo Osvaldo – Osvaldo has played under Pochettino before so the Saints may have an edge here. The striker comes with some baggage, but he is obviously a good option on the field as he scored 17 goals in 31 games for Roma last year.
Do you think the Saints can realistically challenge for a top four finish? Can they keep Luke Shaw and company?

Major Retrospective of Paintings by Alexis Rockman Opens at the Smithsonian American Art Museum

Alexis Rockman: A Fable for Tomorrow can be viewed at the
Smithsonian American Art Museum
in Washington, D.C., from Nov. 19 through May 8, 2011. The exhibition is the first major survey of the artists work with 47 paintings and works on paper that trace his career from early works in the mid-1980s to the present.
Alexis Rockman (b. 1962) has been depicting the natural world with virtuosity and wit for more than two decades. He was one of the first contemporary artists to build his career around exploring environmental issues, from evolutionary biology and genetic engineering to deforestation and climate change. His work expresses deep concerns about the worlds fragile ecosystems and the tension between nature and culture. These concerns are communicated through vivid, even apocalyptic, imagery. Rockman has garnered attention for embracing these issues, as well as for the epic quality of his projects, including several monumentally scaled paintings.
The title of the exhibition, A Fable for Tomorrow, is taken from the opening chapter of Rachel Carsons influential 1962 book Silent Spring. In it, Carson combines two seemingly incompatible literary genresmythic narrative and factual reportage. Rockman approaches his paintings with a similar intent. He achieves his vision through a synthesis of fantasy and empirical fact, using sources as varied as natural history, botanical illustrations, museum dioramas, science fiction films, realist art traditions dating back to the Renaissance and firsthand field study. The exhibition is organized by Joanna Marsh, The James Dicke Curator of Contemporary Art.
Alexis Rockmans cross-disciplinary approach is well suited to the Smithsonians long tradition of embracing science and art as complementary ways of understanding our world, said Elizabeth Broun, The Margaret and Terry Stent Director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
During the past 25 years, Rockmans art and attitudes have evolved from a focus on the mysteries of nature to the machinations of mankind, said Marsh. His artworks demonstrate a steadfast belief in the power of art, literature and film to raise consciousness about key environmental issues. Rockman stands out among the generation of artists who have taken up the mantle of environmental activism for the originality of his vision and the urgency of his message. Through the use of emotionally charged visual ideasdeath, decay, ruin and renewalRockman has created a stunning body of work that is a reflection of our times and a portent of events to come.
Throughout his career, Rockman has developed subjects and themes in series.
Alexis Rockman: A Fable for Tomorrow marks the first time that key paintings from different projects are exhibited together, beginning with the lyrical Ponds Edge (1986), drawn from the artists earliest series exploring the field of natural history, to The Reef (2009), part of his most recent body of work titled Half Life, which combines color-field abstraction and environmental concerns.
Throughout his career, Rockman has developed subjects and themes in series. Alexis Rockman: A Fable for Tomorrow marks the first time that key paintings from different projects are exhibited together, beginning with the lyrical Ponds Edge (1986), drawn from the artists earliest series exploring the field of natural history, to The Reef (2009), part of his most recent body of work titled Half Life, which combines color-field abstraction and environmental concerns.
The exhibition includes three large-scale paintings that are ambitious turning points in Rockmans artistic development. Evolution (1992), Rockmans first mural-sized painting, is a panoramic sweep that owes as much to a pop cinema stylistic sensibility as it does to actual prehistory. Manifest Destiny (2003-2004), commissioned by the Brooklyn Museum of Art, depicts an apocalyptic vision of the Brooklyn waterfront submerged as the result of global warming. South (2008), an epic panorama drawn from the artists observations while on a trip to Antarctica, documents every aspect of iceberg geology through simultaneous views above and below the waters surface.
In 1994, Rockman journeyed into the dense South American jungle of Guyana. Several paintings from this series, including Bromeliad: Kaieteur Falls (1994), Kapok Tree (1995) and Host and Vector (1996), are on display in the exhibition. These paintings are distinguished from Rockmans other work by his decision to invent nothing and paint only the flora and fauna found in the rain forest. Elements in the works recall 19th-century Hudson River school landscapes by John Kensett and the paintings of Martin Johnson Heade. Rockman returned to Guyana in 1998, when his previous interest in field observation was replaced by a fascination with pop-culture representations of ecotourism and the exotic allure of adventure travel. The resulting series, titled Expedition, includes paintings such as The Hammock (2000), which includes compositional elements that recall classic science fiction films.
Rockmans Big Weather drawings from 2005 to 2008 mark a major stylistic shift toward abstraction. Executed on heavily gessoed sheets of paper, the painted surface is awash in vivid stains, pours, pools and drips. Rockmans new focus on process is also evident in the artists most recent body of work, Half-Life. The Half-Life paintings, inspired by the techniques of Color Field artist Morris Louis (1912-1962), are dominated by large veils of viscous pigment and loose, improvisational brushstrokes.

If attendance at the first two meetings about the Bureau of Land Management's sage grouse management plan are an indicator, Oregon cattle ranchers and others have a lot of questions they want answered.
About 175 people attended a BLM open house Jan. 6 in Prineville, and an estimated 300 packed a meeting in Burns the following day, according to the Oregon Cattlemen's Association. The next meetings were scheduled Jan. 8, in Ontario at the Four Rivers Cultural Center, and Jan. 9 in Baker City at the county Events Center.
The series of open houses continues over the next two weeks with meetings in Lakeview, Jordan Valley and Durkee.
The preferred alternative listed in the BLM's draft Environmental Impact Statement for recovering the sage grouse would eliminate grazing on 118,000 acres of federal land in eastern Oregon. The sage grouse is a candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act.
While the grazing prohibition impacts only 1 percent of the BLM's grazing land, it amounts to a "punch in the face" for cattle ranchers who depend on those allottments, said Bob Skinner, public lands chairman for the cattlemen's association.
"If you're in the 1 percent, it's the end of the world for you," said Skinner, a Jordan Valley rancher.
The deadline for comments on the plan is Feb. 20.

Students who earn two distinct degrees in the same term are counted twice – whether their degrees are from the same six-digit CIP code or different CIP codes. Students who earn only one degree are counted once – even if they completed multiple majors or tracks. Due to changes in IPEDS, the doctoral and first professional degree categories no longer exist. Graduate degrees are now classified as doctoral research and doctoral professional with the doctoral professional including additional categories that had not previous been included in the first professional category. The universities reviewed their programs and made the classifications of their programs. The professional doctoral category will include all degrees in this category.

Atlantic City...Weathers the Storm
Atlantic City championed through one of the most dramatic storms in recent history, when Superstorm Sandy took to unleashing itself upon the Jersey Shore. The historic beach front resort community would again come under the attack of an unseasonably early nor'easter, and just as the casinos and resorts returned to full power once again, the AC would find itself at the mercy of the most perfect storm yet!
Country music sensation Carrie Underwood hit the famous Boardwalk Hall with her dubiously entitled "Blown Away" Tour. Playing to a packed house, including some sprinkled in for color gay fans, the American Idol winner turned music phenomenon performed songs from her latest album. And to prove her heart was in the right place, she donated her concert winnings to the local community to assist with the Atlantic CIty cleanup effort in the storm aftermath.
In the wake of Sandy, Atlantic City is cleaning up nicely, even as its harder hit Jersey shore neighbors put the pieces back together. It's upwards and onwards as the resort properties continue to court LGBT visitors establishing the AC as a viable vacation destination even during its off-peak summer season.
Headlining Now!
Just recently Boardwalk Hall welcomed the biggest tour of the summer when Madonna brought her "MDNA" Tour into its hallowed halls. With nary a bad seat in the house, it's no wonder that next March Lady Gaga will be premiering the US leg of her "Born This Way Ball" in Atlantic City. So make sure to get your tickets early and make reservations before the "no vacancy" sign flashes red.

HANOVER, N.H. — On Monday, August 12, the Dartmouth athletics department will host its inaugural VIP golf tournament — the Big Green Invitational — at famed TPC Boston in Norton, Mass. All Dartmouth alumni, parents and friends are invited to register for the tournament, though space is limited. Golfers will be registered in the order in which their RSVPs are received.
Among those participating will be Dartmouth President Philip J. Hanlon '77, Director of Athletics and Recreation Harry Sheehy '55a and various Big Green head coaches.
"We look forward to a great day of Dartmouth fellowship on a world-class golf course," said Sheehy.
Named by Golf Digest among the "Top 10 Best New Private Clubs in the US," TPC Boston is the annual host of the Deutsche Bank Championship, one of only four events for the PGA Tour's FedExCup Playoffs. The 2012 Deutsche Bank Championship field included Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy (tournament champion) and Brandt Snedeker (FedExCup champion).
With the Deutsche Bank Championship taking place just two weeks after the Big Green Invitational, golfers can expect a PGA Tournament experience, including grandstands, hospitality tents and superb playing conditions.
The event will begin with lunch at 11:30 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 1 p.m. After the tournament, golfers will be treated to a cocktail reception and awards presentation featuring remarks from both President Hanlon and Harry Sheehy.
For questions, please contact Associate Athletic Director Sam Hopkins at 603-646-9061 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Net proceeds will benefit the Athletic Director's Fund For Excellence and the Athletic Sponsor Program.

The group — Logan Dilks, Zach Parks, and Matt Cypert — built what would become the gigantic snowman shown on their day off from school. It stands well over seven feet tall. Per the guys, Meagan Perry also helped in the build.

To the Editor:
I own Mitchell's Restaurant on Rockaway Avenue. I have recently been informed that the developers of Sun Valley Towers are interested in expanding the housing development. Allow me to express my excitement and support of the project, and I hope it becomes a reality.
Needless to say, the corner of Rockaway and Sunrise Highway has been an eyesore for years, and I am excited that a new complex is being built that will cater to a upper-middle class clientele. Throughout construction, I wondered why the developers stopped short and didn't build over the remaining run-down buildings behind it. Now I am aware that they have their eyes set on those buildings, and should the powers that be approve said project, I think it will be an improvement for Rockaway Avenue.

The wellington High School football team suffered its first loss of the season Friday, losing to Wichita Collegiate 49-21.
The wellington High School football team suffered its first loss of the season Friday, losing to Wichita Collegiate 49-21.
The Crusaders got behind early, but caught up.
Wellington scored early in the third quarter, on a 46 yard run by Austin Dunn, at 21. From that point its was all Collegiate, as the team scored four unanswered touchdowns from that point.
Coach Tyler Ryan said he was disappointed in how the team did not continue to play hard.
"We had some flashes of very good football," he said. "But then we had flashes of not very good football."
Wellington had trouble stopping Collegiate all night. The Spartans were able to pass at will in the first half, and in the second half, used a sweep play that gave Wellington a lot of trouble.
He had said earlier in the week the team did not match up well with the Spartans and he was concerned about their spread offense.
He said Collegiate did a good job of controlling the line of scrimmage.
But Wellington did have its moments.
Collegiate scored the first two times it had the ball. The first cam en a 54-yard sweet by Seth Carder, and the second one came on a 18-yard run by quarterback Landon Root. Collegiate led 14-0 with four minutes left in the opening quarter.
Wellington came back and scored on a 50-yard run up the middle by Austin Dunn. Trevor Nance passed for two to Andrew Horn, and the deficit shrank to 14-8 at the end of the opening quarter.
Collegiate scored again in the second, but Wellington did too, on a 30-yard pass from Nance to Colin Reichenberger and cut the deficit to 21-14 with six minutes left in the half.
Late in the half wellington drove to the Collegiate 22, but didn't score.
Wellington tied the game with 10:31 left in the third on a long run by Dunn.
But from there it was all Collegiate, as the Spartans were able to keep the ball and convert big plays.

Revision as of 04:14, 9 December 2011Flying Spaghetti Monster, a deity created as a parody of religious, mainly Christian, apologetics and beliefs. The IPU beliefs contain known contradictions that mirror contradictions in Christian apologetics which can be used to illustrate the absurdity of said apologetics. These contradictions also serve to illustrate the difficulty that exists in trying to logically support a self-contradictory diety.
The first mentions of the IPU appeared on the alt.atheism discussion group, indeed, "believers" state that the IPU was "revealed" to us on alt.atheism, though there are reports of oral transmission of her stories before her revelation on the internet.
The idea of the IPU was fleshed out by a group of college students between '94 and '95 at the ISCA Telnet-based BBS. A manifesto was created that related the main doctrines, beliefs, and mythology of the IPU. This manifesto was the source of what soon became the most famous quote regarding the Invisible Pink Unicorn:
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."
- — Steve Eley
It's common for "believers" in the IPU to state that, since She's invisible, no one can prove She doesn't exist. This parallels similar statements about the gods of other religions. Thus, this serves as an illustration of the absurdity of using lack of proof as proof of existance. Under this logic the IPU is just as credible as any god.
The fact that the IPU is invisible and pink is a known contradiction, but this too is simply an illustration of the absurdity of the Christian god's characteristics, e.g. being all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving yet somehow failing to destroy evil, see Problem of evil.
Another part of the satire is the fact that "followers" hold inconsistent ideas about the IPU's qualities. For example, some believe that she is completely invisible and some believe she is visible to those who have faith in her existence. However, some agreements have been made about her characteristics, for example that she likes raisin bread (symbolizing the expanding universe), that she prefers ham and pineapple pizza (though some vegetarians disagree saying that, since she's vegetarian she wouldn't eat ham, but mushrooms instead). When someone points out this dispute ("If even her followers can't agree on what she's like...") the usual response something like "Well, at least everyone agrees that she likes pineapple!" This parallels the similar Christian response of "Well, at least all Christians agree on the basics" when someone points out the inconsistent beliefs among different Christian sects. Another agreement among IPU believers is the idea that she hates pepperoni. Yet another agreement is the idea that the IPU "raptures" socks which accounts for their strange tendancy to disappear. Thus, when a sock is "raptured" from one's wash it is taken as a sign of favour from the IPU. Some see it as a disfavour, however, depending on who is asked and the type of sock that was raptured.
The IPU religion has a "devil" figure as well in the form of the Purple Oyster. Also known as the "Purple Oyster of Doom" or the "PO(oD)" it's said to have originally been in the service of the IPU but was cast out of her pastures for trying to convince believers that the IPU likes pepperoni and mushroom pizza the best.
In the manifesto, IPUs were said to punish nonbelievers by poking them with their horns. The pain from being poked was typically blamed on mosquitoes which, according to IPU dogma, don't actually bite people but are drawn to Invisible Pink Unicorns like horseflies are to horses.
The IPU has also become a sort of mascot for atheists and other non-believers who display her image on shirts, mugs, etc.
As with the Islamic tradition of adding epithets to the names of Muslim prophets, "IPUists" generally add the epithets "Blessed Be Her Holy Hooves", "Peace Be Unto Her", or "May Her Hooves Never Be Shod". These are commonly shortened to bbhhh, pbuh, and mhhnbs.

Computer and Video Games offers the promised (story) first detail on Deus Ex 3, as the shooter/RPG sequel is previewed in the 200th issue of print magazine PC Zone, which has begun reaching subscribers in advance of its release on newsstands this Thursday. The game is under construction at Eidos Montreal with Deus Ex writer Sheldon Pacotti consulting on the project, and while Harvey Smith and Warren Spector are not involved, word is it has their "blessing." According to the article, Eidos Montreal is aware of complaints about Deus Ex: Invisible War, promising to redress "mistakes" like ammo type limitations. On the other hand, changes are described that further depart from Deus Ex canon, and make the project sound more like Gears of War, including combat relying more on player aim than stats, a cover system for stealth (rather than skulking in shadows), and an auto-healing system for damage.

The truck driver charged in the New Jersey crash that killed one person and critically injured comedian Tracy Morgan hadn't slept for more than a day at the time of the crash, according to a criminal complaint filed on Monday.
A report also said the man boasted on Twitter of being a road hog, warning other drivers that he'd hit them if they didn't get out of the way.
A big rig driven by 35-year-old Kevin Roper, of Jonesboro, GA., hit a limo van carrying Morgan and friends early Saturday.
Reuters reported Roper was driving "on the New Jersey Turnpike without having slept in excess of 24 hours," according to the complaint, filed in Middlesex County Court, New Jersey.
The driver is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday on charges of vehicular homicide and three counts of assault by auto, according to court documents.
Morgan -- the former star of "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" -- and two passengers remained in critical condition Monday. Reports said he will be likely be hospitalized for weeks.
Roper allegedly didn't see traffic slowing in front of him near Cranbury Township, and hit the Mercedes carrying Morgan and other comics and friends who were returning from a performance in Delaware, according to police. The vehicle flipped onto its roof, causing a chain-reaction crash involving four other vehicles.
Comic James McNair, 62, of Peekskill, N.Y. -- a longtime writing collaborator of Morgan's who performed under the moniker "Jimmy Mack" -- died at the scene, New Jersey State Police spokesman Gregory Williams told Reuters. Morgan, comics Ardie Fuqua and Harris Stanton, and Morgan's assistant, Jeff Millea, were injured, said Williams.
Morgan is being treated for a broken leg, nose and ribs and has undergone surgery at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Center in New Brunswick, according to his spokesman, Lewis Kay. Website MediaTakeout quoted a hospital employee as saying the injuries to Morgan's leg were so severe doctors considered amputating it, but Morgan opted for additional surgery to save his leg.
Roper, who drives for Walmart, has a lawyer, the company said. Bill Simon, chief executive of Walmart U.S. said they were cooperating with the investigation.
TMZ reported that before the accident, Roper tweeted "Trying to win more than lose! Driving trucks for a living. It's my road. Move or get hit! #Walmart."
That should look great in court.
The New York Daily News saw what it reported as Roper's tweet and that, a short time later, the account became private. A friend of Roper's reportedly told the Daily News the account was Roper's, though Walmart disputes it.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A treasure trove of rare gold coins discovered by a California couple out walking their dog has gone on sale, with one coin selling for $15,000 on Tuesday.
The coins date from 1847 to 1894 and have been valued at $11 million.
Several coins were auctioned at the Old San Francisco Mint on at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, and one of them — an 1874 $20 double eagle that is usually worth $4,250 — sold for $15,000.
Don Kagin, whose firm is handling the sale, says most of the remaining 1,400 coins had gone on sale on Amazon.com and Kagins.com after the auction.
The couple, whom Kagin declined to identify, found them last year buried under the shadow of a tree on their rural Northern California property.
Kagin says there have been numerous theories about the coins' origins, but none has panned out.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A treasure trove of rare gold coins that were discovered by a California couple out walking their dog last year have gone on sale. The nearly 1,430 coins date from 1847 to 1894 and have been valued at more than $11 million. One will be auctioned at the Old San Francisco Mint on Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. Most of the rest will go on sale on Amazon.com and Kagins.com later in the evening. Here are five things to know about the coins and their origin:
Experts say paper money was illegal in California until the 1870s, so it's extremely rare to find any coins from before that period. Additionally, most of the coins are in mint condition, having been stashed away seemingly immediately after they were minted. They were valued by Don Kagin, a numismatist who is handling the sale and marketing of the coins.
Kagin says the couple — a middle-aged husband and wife — does not want to be identified in part to avoid a gold rush on their rural Northern California property by modern-day prospectors. They discovered the coins in eight cans buried in the shadow of an old tree on the property. They plan to keep a few of the coins themselves and use the money from the rest to pay off bills and donate to local charities. Money from Tuesday's auction will benefit the effort to turn the Old Mint into a museum.
Most of the coins were minted at the San Francisco Mint, according to Kagin. It's not clear, however, who put them in the ground or how they were obtained, though theories have abounded. Kagin says people have linked the coins to stagecoach bandit Black Bart, outlaw Jesse James and a theft at the San Francisco Mint, but none of the theories has panned out.
The treasure consists of four $5 gold pieces, fifty $10 gold pieces, and 1,373 $20 double eagles. Among the coins that will be on display Tuesday is the crown jewel of the collection — an 1866-S No Motto $20 gold piece valued at more than $1 million.
Kagin calls this coin find the largest such discovery in U.S. history. One of the largest previous finds of gold coins was uncovered by construction workers in Jackson, Tennessee, in 1985 and valued at $1 million. More than 400,000 silver dollars were found in the home of a Reno, Nevada, man who died in 1974 and were later sold intact for $7.3 million. Gold coins and ingots said to be worth as much as $130 million were recovered in the 1980s from the wreck of the SS Central America. But historians knew roughly where that gold was because the ship went down off the coast of North Carolina during a hurricane in 1857.
