In his Three Strikes feature, Aaron Fitt of Baseball America writes that Kansas State is well-positioned in a Big 12 race that is up for grabs:
The Big 12 is a free-for-all. After West Virginia took two of three from Oklahoma this weekend, the Mountaineers put themselves in a three-way tie for first place with the Sooners and Kansas State.
The Wildcats have flown under the radar a bit in 2013, but they have quietly positioned themselves as the Big 12′s safest at-large team, with the conference's best Ratings Percentage Index ranking (No. 24), a solid 6-5 record against the top 50 and a 34-15 overall record. The Wildcats have won four of their last five series, including a road series win at last-place Texas this weekend.
"We just keep plugging along," Kansas State coach Brad Hill said. "We're pretty scrappy and, I think, pretty good. We've had a lot of different people be solid for us. It's a pretty versatile offense—obviously there's some speed combined with the ability to drive balls into the gaps, get some extra-base hits. (Sunday) we got down a couple bunts when we had to execute. It's a multi-faceted offense."
That offense is Kansas State's strength. The Wildcats lead the Big 12 in batting (.323) and scoring (6.3 runs per game) by healthy margins, and the same is true in conference-only games (where they are hitting .313 and averaging 5.4 runs per game).
Preseason All-America outfielder Jared King (.335/.417/.541 with six homers, 42 RBIs and 12 steals) is Kansas State's best player, and he has played through some hamstring issues and other bumps and bruises to put together a solid season, albeit a quieter season than his 2012 tour de force performance.
"He's been a little streaky, to be honest with you," Hill said. "He got off to a rough start, was nicked up with injuries early. A young guy trying to live up to some of the hype, Big 12 player of the year. He never was really right until about a month in. He kind of hit his stride four or five weeks ago, started to get comfortable, settle in. In terms of leadership-type things for us, we really appreciate that. He's played great defense in center field—his defense has improved considerably. He's really improved going back on the baseball, going over his head, getting better angles and drop steps."
King has plenty of help in Kansas State's deep lineup. Redshirt sophomore Shane Conlon (.341/.434/.535, seven homers, 27 RBIs) has emerged as another power threat in the middle of the order. Conlon was primarily a pitcher in 2011 at K-State, then missed last season after having Tommy John surgery and has re-established himself as a first baseman. Hill said Conlon and shortstop Austin Fisher (.356/.429/.500) have been the two most consistent hitters in the lineup, and second baseman Ross Kivett (.354/.436/.467, 20 steals) has been the catalyst atop the order. Fisher and Kivett also form a reliable double-play combination, helping K-State field at a solid .973 clip
That solid defense has been key, because Kansas State's pitching has struggled. The Wildcats have a 4.16 ERA in conference play (eighth in the nine-team Big 12), and they have not gotten consistent quality starts in the rotation. Kansas State shook things up last weekend, moving freshmen Levi MaVorhis and Blake McFadden into the rotation, and KSU's quality bullpen continued to shoulder a heavy burden, carrying the Wildcats to a pair of wins. But ultimately, K-State needs sophomore righty Matt Wivinis and senior lefty Joe Flattery to start and pitch deeper into games in order for this team to be dangerous in the postseason.
"We haven't really established guys who would go six or seven innings. We're kind of piecing it together, trying to get through the Big 12 here," Hill said. "We'll get to the Big 12 tournament, and Flattery and Wivinis will have to pitch. We'll have to put them out there, hope they can go five or six. There's no question, they have good stuff. They just need to do a better job of getting ahead of hitters; they haven't done that consistently."
In the meantime, the Wildcats will just keep plugging along, grinding out wins.

Malignant brain tumors such as Sen. Ted Kennedy's are uncommon enough that they have received less attention in books than many other types of cancer. One exception to the pattern is Death Be Not Proud, John Gunther's eloquent memoir of the death of his 17-year-old son, Johnny, from a fatal glioma diagnosed when he was in high school www.oneminutebookreviews.wordpress.com/2008/01/29/. American views of cancer have undergone a sea-change since the book was first published in 1949. But this modern classic remains one of the finest accounts we have of the physical and emotional toll that a malignant brain tumor takes on patients, even those who might seem to have all the advantages.

It's becoming more and more obvious I suffer from SADD (Seasonal Apologetic Disaster Disorder). I'm a Christmas season reject.
It's becoming more and more obvious I suffer from SADD (Seasonal Apologetic Disaster Disorder). I'm a Christmas season reject.
There was the briefest moment this year when I almost chose to disregard the entire holiday and not decorate one bit. I seriously considered getting one of those Christmas cactuses or little bitty evergreen trees and calling it good.
I freeze up at the thought of decorating. More honestly, I detest the mere thought of the cleaning up and packing up of all the little ornament boxes after the holiday. That being written, there is not one square inch left on our tree to place another ornament. I have several favorite ornaments, but they're things I would display throughout the year. Take the "tourist" flamingo, decked out in its tropical shirt and grass skirt. That's art at its finest. Who wouldn't want that shared through the year?
Maybe it's the season, but I've finally come to the realization that I'm a good stay-at-home mom now that the boys are eight months away from being adults.
Our youth group sponsored a cookie exchange this past weekend to raise funds for their annual mission trip. In a moment of temporary insanity, I promised our youth director that I would bake six dozen cookies.
Saturday afternoon I asked one of the twins to list his favorite cookies that I bake. He feigned a heart attack then amnesia, stumbling back across the kitchen.
"You can bake? That oven works?" he gasped "Seriously, I don't think I have a favorite I can't ever remember you making me cookies!"
This little speech was followed by the wiping away of imaginary tears.
I saw aspects of my life colliding; my inherent sarcastic nature now passed down to my offspring, slamming head first into countless years of sad, seasonal disasters.
I used this column to take the place of Christmas cards. I'm claiming Pinterest and my friends' posts on social networks to further wallow in my incompleteness.
Unfortunately the whole Elf on the Shelf movement had not blossomed when the twins were young. Toilet papering a tree or drawing reindeer ears on pictures is something I could get into each year. At the very least I could blame our elf for any holiday disaster.

I decided to take a break from talking about Ersan Ilyasova this week, but he's averaging 13 points, eight rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.4 3-pointers over his last five games, and is worth holding in most leagues.
Games played for Week 8
4 Games - Hawks, Bobcats, Bulls, Cavaliers, Mavericks, Pistons, Warriors, Pacers, Clippers, Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Bucks, Hornets, Knicks, Magic, Sixers, Suns, Spurs, Kings, Jazz, Wizards.
3 Games - Celtics, Nets, Nuggets, Rockets, Heat, Thunder, Blazers, Raptors.
2 Games - Lakers
Point Guards
Ricky Rubio Timberwolves – Owned in 78 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Rubio finally debuted from knee surgery on Saturday night and hit 1-of-4 shots to finish with eight points, four rebounds, nine assists and three steals in just 18 minutes. It's going to take him time to get back to 100 percent, and he is expected to sit out in some back-to-back situations, but Rubio should be owned in all leagues going forward.
John Wall Wizards – Owned in 79 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
We finally got a decent report on Wall over the weekend and it sounds like there's a chance he could finally be ready to return shortly after Christmas. Then again, he might not be back until the All-Star break, and could also have trouble staying healthy once he does finally make an appearance. But if he is able to return on Jan. 1 and can stay healthy, holding him for the next couple weeks will seem like a blip on the radar in hindsight.
Jason Kidd Knicks – Owned in 69 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Kidd's scoring has fallen off a bit over the last two games, especially when he hit just 3-of-14 shots and 3-of-13 3-pointers in Saturday's win over the Cavaliers. But the fact Kidd has the green light to shoot 13 3-pointers in a game is exciting. He still averaged seven points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, a steal, a block and two 3-pointers over those two games, and is at 11 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, a steal and 3.0 3-pointers over his last five games. Iman Shumpert is due back in January from knee surgery, but it's going to take him some time to get back into shape, while Kidd is also locked into minutes at point guard, as well as the current starting shooting guard for the Knicks. He should be owned until the wheels fall off.
Jarrett Jack Warriors – Owned in 34 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Jack has scored in double figures in four straight games and is averaging 12 points, five rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.8 3-pointers over his last five games. Those numbers are happening with Stephen Curry fully healthy and playing well, and Jack's production would take a big leap if Curry were to go down. But even with Jack coming off the bench, he's getting 30 minutes a night and is playing very well for the Warriors right now.
Nate Robinson Bulls – Owned in 21 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Kirk Hinrich has missed two straight games due to a knee injury and is banged up, meaning he could be day-to-day for a while. Robinson hasn't exactly gone off in his absence, but is averaging 10 points, 4.5 assists and a 3-pointer in his last two starts for Hinrich, and should be better if he continues to play heavy minutes with Hinrich so banged up. If Hinrich is playing, Robinson is probably best served on fantasy benches, but when he goes down, Robinson quickly becomes a must-start fantasy point guard.
Others to consider: Rodney Stuckey, Isaiah Thomas.
Shooting Guards
Jordan Crawford Wizards – Owned in 61 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Crawford had just five points on 2-of-12 shooting in Saturday's loss to the Heat, but is still averaging 16 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.2 3-pointers over his last five games. Yes, the return of Wall would hurt Crawford, but JC should still see plenty of minutes at shooting guard, and Wall's return, or ability to stay healthy, are still far from guaranteed.
Marco Belinelli Bulls – Owned in 23 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Belinelli has scored between 16 and 22 points in each of his last five games while starting for Rip Hamilton, and Hamilton isn't due back for a couple more weeks. Even when he returns, Belinelli has earned more minutes, and possibly a starting job going forward. He's at 18 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.6 3-pointers over his last five and remains an excellent option off waivers, and should be available in a ton of leagues.
Alexey Shved Timberwolves – Owners in 16 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Shved is now starting at shooting guard for the Wolves and could stick there for the remainder of the season. He had 18 points, six assists, two steals and three 3-pointers on Saturday, and is averaging 11.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 3-pointers over his last five. But in the two starts over his last two games he's at 15.5 points, 7.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.0 3-pointers, while playing 35 and 44 minutes in those two games. He should be available in your league and is a must-own player in my opinion, as long as he's starting at shooting guard.
Austin Rivers Hornets – Owned in 22 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Rivers has made three straight starts at shooting guard for the Hornets and blew up for a career-high 27 points and five 3-pointers on Friday. He's hit double digits in scoring in four of his last five games, averaging 14 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.6 3-pointers over that stretch, but those numbers improve to 16 points, three rebounds, three assists, and two 3-pointers in the three starts. He's coming on and Eric Gordon still isn't near a return, meaning it's time to grab Rivers in many leagues.
Gary Neal Spurs – Owned in 14 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Neal has been inconsistent while starting at shooting guard for the Spurs, but is averaging 13 points and 2.8 3-pointers over his last five games. He scored 20 points with three 3-pointers on Saturday, and had 29 points and seven 3-pointers on Monday against Houston. Unfortunately, he scored just six or fewer points in the other three games. Manu Ginobili is iffy for upcoming games due to a bruised left thigh, which will help Neal's cause, while he'll also have to deal with the return of Kawhi Leonard at some point. Leonard should hurt Danny Green more than Neal, and while Neal has been hit or miss, he can really help your team if you have him in the lineup on the right night.
Others to consider: Jodie Meeks, Martell Webster, Cartier Martin, Nick Young, Terrence Ross.
Small Forwards
Jared Dudley Suns – Owned in 55 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Dudley has started in four straight games in place of Michael Beasley and is averaging 14 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 3-pointers over his last five. As long as he continues to start he should be a relatively safe fantasy starter. He had a season-high 22 points, four boards, five assists, three steals and two 3-pointers on Friday, and the Suns play four times in Week 8.
Gordon Hayward Jazz – Owned in 65 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Hayward is finally starting to play better, sparked by Marvin Williams' recent absence due to a concussion. Williams is back and starting, but it's Hayward who is playing well off the bench, averaging nearly 13 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 3-pointers over his last five, and has scored in double figures in eight of his last 10 games. I'd like him a lot more if he was starting over Williams, but he's starting to come on, despite coming off the bench. Give him a look if he was dropped in your league.
C.J. Miles Cavaliers – Owned in 19 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Miles entered the starting lineup for an injured Dion Waiters four games ago and has scored 17 or 28 points in each of those four games, and has scored in double figures in seven straight. He's averaging 21 points, 4.2 rebounds, a steal and 3.6 3-pointers over his last five, and while Waiters will possibly return on Tuesday to hurt Miles, he looks like a must-own player for now. Especially if he holds the starting job once Waiters is back.
Matt Barnes Clippers – Owned in 11 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Barnes is averaging 25.6 minutes over his last five games along with 15 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.4 3-pointers while shooting nearly 61 percent from the field. He's also shooting it well from the free throw line, and while he'll have some off nights, is doing enough in most categories to warrant owning in most leagues right now.
Corey Brewer Nuggets – Owned in 19 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Brewer saw his streak of scoring in double figures stopped at six games when he scored just nine points on Friday against the Grizzlies. He's averaging nearly 15 points and 1.4 3-pointers over his last five, although he's not doing a lot more than scoring and hitting threes. Wilson Chandler looks like he's headed for a lost season and Brewer should continue to see solid minutes off the bench for the Nuggets.
Linas Kleiza Raptors – Owned in 4 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Kleiza missed a couple games recently with a knee injury but blew up for 20 points, five rebounds and five 3-pointers in 30 minutes of Friday's win over the Mavericks. He also had 17 points, five 3-pointers, a steal and a block on Sunday, before missing a couple games with the knee injury. This means he's averaging 18.5 points and five 3-pointers in 30 minutes over his last two games, and while he's not the most reliable fantasy option while coming off the bench, he should see enough minutes to make a difference as long as he can stay healthy.
Others to consider: Shawn Marion, Devin Ebanks.
Power Forwards
Ed Davis Raptors – Owned in 31 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Davis made a quick splash in his first start for injured Andrea Bargnani on Wednesday, going off for 24 points, 12 rebounds and three steals on 11-of-13 shooting in 45 minutes. However, he split minutes with Amir Johnson and Linas Kleiza on Friday, finishing with six points and eight rebounds in just 23 minutes. He should continue to start for Bargnani and I expect him to fall somewhere in between those two lines over the next several weeks, while Kleiza won't be as hot as he was on Friday going forward. Johnson is also worth a look, but I'd rather own Davis.
Derrick Favors Jazz – Owned in 62 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Favors is back from a battle with plantar fasciitis but hasn't exactly been killing it in his three games since returning to action. He's averaging just seven points, 4.7 rebounds, a steal and 0.7 blocks, but should continue to get better as he plays through his feet problems. Favors is not a must-start player right now, but is still worth owning in most leagues.
Jason Maxiell Pistons – Owned in 15 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Maxiell's recent tear came to an end on Saturday when he failed to score or block a shot in 25 minutes, but he was hot prior to that one. He was averaging eight points, six boards and more than two blocks per game in his previous four games, highlighted by 18 points, six rebounds and six blocks on Tuesday against the Nuggets. His scoring will be an issue, while Andre Drummond seeing an increase in minutes going forward is also a concern. But Maxiell appears to be focused on rebounding and blocking shots, and is worth a close look for as long as he's starting for the Pistons.
Andray Blatche Nets – Owned in 45 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Blatche was very fun to own while Brook Lopez was out with his foot injury, but has now come off the bench in two straight games behind Reggie Evans. Blatche has averaged 12.5 points, four rebounds, 2.5 steals and a block in 23 minutes over those two games. As long as he continues to get more than 20 minutes a night, he'll be worth a look in deeper leagues, even off the bench.
Andrew Nicholson Magic – Owned in 4 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Nicholson is quietly heating up, averaging nearly 13 points, 6.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 23 minutes over his last five games. He played just 16 minutes on Saturday after getting in some foul trouble, but is worth keeping a close eye on in deep leagues.
Others to consider: Ersan Ilyasova, Kevin Seraphin, Jason Thompson, Greg Smith.
J.J. Hickson Blazers – Owned in 70 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Hickson is averaging 11.4 points and 10.2 rebounds on the season and has double-doubled in four straight games for the Blazers. I still don't understand why he's available in 30 percent of fantasy leagues, and he should be picked up if he's available in yours.
Nikola Pekovic Wolves – Owned in 70 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Pekovic is turning it on lately, scoring between 21 and 31 points (career high) over his last three games, and averaging 24 points and eight rebounds over that stretch for the Wolves. He's hit 31-of-49 shots over that stretch and should be owned in all leagues until further notice. He's got some foot and ankle issues, but they don't look like a problem right now.
Larry Sanders Bucks – Owned in 64 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Sanders has cooled off a bit and missed Wednesday's game with the flu, and is averaging seven points, seven boards, 0.8 steals and 3.3 blocks over his last four. His next shot-blocking explosion should be right around the corner, but Scott Skiles played him just 17 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Clippers. I still don't trust Skiles, but Sanders should be owned in all leagues until he completely falls out of the rotation, which could happen under the hand of Skiles at any time.
Bismack Biyombo Bobcats – Owned in 19 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Biyombo has been starting for the Bobcats and is averaging 6.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks over his last five games. He played 40 minutes on Saturday, when he had eight points, nine boards and three blocks against the Magic, so he is trending up for now. Just don't expect him to score a lot of points, or rack up many double-doubles in Charlotte.
Andre Drummond Pistons – Owned in 13 percent of Yahoo! Leagues.
Drummond's season of inconsistency continues, but he's coming off a loss to the Pacers when he hit 5-of-7 shots for 11 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, and is averaging seven points, 6.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.0 blocks over his last five games. I still contend that Lawrence Frank will have to give in and turn him loose at some point, and sitting on him now could pay big dividends down the road.
Others to consider: Nikola Vucevic, Spencer Hawes, Tyler Zeller.

I continue to search for the links between two unique stair cases, from two houses, both named Montmorenci.
Yesterday, I listened to a Webinar, sponsored by Legacy Family Tree on Newspapers: Critical Resource to Complete Your Family Tree. The presenter was Thomas Jay Kemp. The Webinar can be found here:
Mr. Kemp, is a librarian, lecturer, newspaper expert, and the mover and shaker of GenealogyBank.com
He mentioned a number of times, 'don't forget to search the newspapers'. What a great reminder. So I did.
I have only just begun to search for my mystery (or should i say mysteries) and have fond out that there are many "Montmorenci's" around, and a couple of French nobles that have that name. A Walk in Canada, and cities / towns in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and I am sure I'll find more.
So far, on the Maryland Montmorenci, I found a Obituary of a young child who died there, and a couple of other events that took place with names of the owners of Montmorenci. The names are known to me, but all the more reason to Not to Forget to look in the Newspapers.
Thank you Legacy and Mr. Kemp.

It may be common for children to receive vaccinations for pertussis, or whooping cough. But NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon says it's also important for parents and other adults to get vaccinations.
It may be common for children to receive vaccinations for pertussis, or whooping cough. But NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon says it's also important for parents and other adults to get vaccinations.
The four-time NASCAR Cup series champion is an ambassador for the Sounds of Pertussis campaign. He's in the Kansas City area this weekend for the Hollywood Casino 400 race at the Kansas Speedway. And he spoke to the Leavenworth Times about his participation in the campaign.
Gordon said he's heard about the recent outbreak of pertussis among students in the Easton schools.
At least 14 children in the area have been confirmed to have the disease, according to information from the Leavenworth County Health Department.
"We certainly want all of the parents out there to know that we're thinking about them," Gordon said.
Gordon said he became involved in the Sounds of Pertussis campaign after the birth his daughter, who is now 6.
Gordon said he and his wife were educating themselves about vaccinations and discovered they could be putting their daughter at risk.
That's because the vaccinations people receive for pertussis as children doesn't last into adulthood. And pertussis can spread from adults to infants, who are particularly vulnerable to the disease.
"It just kind of scared the heck out of us," Gordon said.
Dr. Edward R.B. McCabe said babies are at the highest risk of illness and death from pertussis.
McCabe is the chief medical officer for the March of Dimes and a spokesman for the Sounds of Pertussis campaign.
He said vaccinations for pertussis typically wear off after five to 10 years.
Adults who have pertussis may feel like they have a cold.
"But then the cough can last for weeks," he said.
In the case of babies, there's a risk their illness can turn into pneumonia.
"So it's very serious," he said.
On a national level, McCabe said the country is in one of the largest outbreaks of pertussis in 50 years.
Gordon said people may hear about pertussis as something their parents or grandparents dealt with and not think it's common today.
"You don't realize how dangerous it can be," he said.
Gordon said he's around children a lot on the racing circuit. Some people ask him to hold their babies.
"I feel comfortable that I am protected," he said, because of vaccination.
Gordon said he enjoys coming to the Kansas Speedway.
"They built a fantastic racetrack," he said.
He said the area around the Kansas Speedway has seen a lot growth since he first raced there in 2001.

In a final nod to the outstanding seasons the Leavenworth track teams just experienced, 14 Pioneer athletes recently received conference honors.
In a final nod to the outstanding seasons the Leavenworth track teams just experienced, 14 Pioneer athletes recently received conference honors.
Last week, the Sunflower League released its postseason accolades for the 2013 track and field season. Among those selections, more than a dozen Leavenworth students were recognized following a year wherein the boys in blue took second overall at the 5A state championships and the girls placed 10th.
Hauling in the most hardware was John Warren, who was given first-team nods in the long jump and 100 hurdles as well as second team in the triple jump and 300 hurdles.
Warren earned state medals in all four of those events, including gold in the triple jump.
DaQuan Blake (shot put), Willie Morrison (discus) and Jared Belardo (long jump) were all named second team in their respective events.
Also receiving second-team honors was the LV 4x100 relay team, which consisted of De'Vante Butler, Isaiah Ross, Sanchez Williams and Josh Williamson.
Joshua Baker and Belardo were honorable mention nominations in the pole vault and triple jump, respectively.
For the Lady Pioneers, Rashayla Mathis racked up a second-team selection in the 200 meters and a honorable mention pick for the 100 meters.
Also Mathis, Rebekah Covington, Skye Childs and Daysha Thomas were all awarded first-team accolades for their part in the squad's 4x100 relay. Rachel Blackburn was named second team for the javelin.

Five people, including a 7-year-old child, died after a fire broke out at an apartment building in southwest Missouri, authorities said.
Five people, including a 7-year-old child, died after a fire broke out at an apartment building in southwest Missouri, authorities said.
Bob Lombard, chief of the Wheaton Fire Department, told The Associated Press the fire was reported about 3:20 a.m. Thursday. Fire crews arrived at the apartment within minutes of getting the call and found the victims in two separate units at the building. The fire was fully involved when firefighters arrived from the fire station located a few blocks away, Lombard said.
"We lost five people," Lombard said. Two adults and the child were found in one apartment and the two other adults were found in a nearby apartment in the building, which is one of two eight-unit buildings in the apartment complex, he said.
The second building wasn't affected, but residents were evacuated as a precaution, Lombard said.
The victims' identities hadn't been released, and the cause of the fire was under investigation, he said.
Wheaton is located east of Neosho and has about 700 residents.
The Red Cross of Southern Missouri said it was providing 16 people with emergency lodging, food and clothing. It has opened five cases for financial assistance.
"We had volunteers on the scene this morning to find a place for each of them," said Nigel Holderby, Red Cross spokesman. "All 16 people are in hotels with monetary assistance in addition to food and clothing. Today, of all days, the community wrapped their arms around these families."

You don't get to be the namesake of countless roads, schools, buildings and even a state holiday unless you've led a pretty exceptional life. So why does the biopic "Cesar Chavez" make the folk hero seem like such a dull guy? That misfortune may not rank with the injustices Chavez spent his life fighting, but the movie does little to enhance the man's legacy.
Diego Luna usually spends his time in front of the camera — including a role in the much more successful biopic "Milk" — but he felt strongly enough about Chavez's story to direct it. He isn't wholly to blame for this flat outing. The script by Keir Pearson and Timothy J. Sexton is a disjointed, sometimes inscrutable historical retelling of Chavez's earliest accomplishments.
This should have been a plum role for the talented Michael Pena, who portrays Chavez, but he doesn't have the opportunity to do much more than recite trite adages.
The movie begins in the early 1960s as Chavez decides that his work for the civil rights group Community Service Organization isn't having a big enough impact. He decides to uproot his family and move to Delano, Calif., to help low-paid grape-pickers organize unions. At the time, they were making $2 a day without even the benefit of free water.
Chavez founds the National Farm Workers Association with the help of Dolores Huerta (Rosario Dawson, also painfully underused) and immediately ends up on the wrong side of the law, given that the sheriff (Michael Cudlitz) is in cahoots with the vineyard owners, including the sinister Bogdanovitch (John Malkovich). But the activist manages to overcome the opposition with unorthodox means, from a 340-mile march from Delano to Sacramento to a grocery store parking-lot blitz, which he uses to persuade housewives to stop buying grapes and certain brands of wine.
He also meets with Robert F. Kennedy, fasts for 25 days to promote nonviolence and travels to Europe to tell consumers across the pond why they should stop buying certain American produce.
Pretty exciting stuff — or it should have been. But we get little insight into Chavez's character. We see what he does, but not who he is. Even the story lines designed to pull at our heartstrings fall flat, especially the predictable subplot about Chavez's increasingly strained relationships with his wife, Helen (America Ferrera), and eight children.
The listless portrayal of the protagonists is at least slightly better than the over-the-top caricatures of Chavez's opposition, who are better suited for a cartoon than anything based on history.
It seems like a waste of talent, but worse still, "Cesar Chavez" squanders an opportunity to revisit a story worth retelling.
Two stars. PG-13. Contains some violence and strong language. 101 minutes.
Ratings Guide: Four stars masterpiece, three stars very good, two stars OK, one star poor, no stars waste of time.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When it comes to a strong, stable confident middle class, the U.S. isn't accustomed to taking a back seat to other countries, especially China. But facts are facts, and right now, U.S. consumers, reared on the free market capitalism the Chinese once sneered at, can only wish they were as confident about their finances as the Chinese are. The Boston Consulting Group has the goods, offering a study that consumers in China, and to a lesser extent India, increasingly believe they are in the "sweet spot" in the global economy and expect to spend about $10 trillion on products and services by 2020. That is 10 times the amount the Chinese and Indian consumers spent in 2010. BCG cites that statistic as evidence Chinese consumers are significantly more bullish on their country's economy than are U.S. and U.K. consumers on their respective country's economies. The report cites a "stark contrast" in current and future spending patterns between consumers in all three global hotspots. The study says 40% of Chinese consumers expect to "spend more money in the next 12 months than they did in the past 12 months." Compare that to what U.S. and U.K. consumers expect to spend over the same time and you start to get the picture. BCG says only 9% of those consumers expect to spend more money in the next year. U.S. consumers may balk at the conclusion, but Chinese consumers are far and away more likely to hold a sunnier view of their financial futures than their brethren in America, and in the U.K.
"Chinese consumers are a beacon of hope," says Michael J. Silverstein, a senior partner in BCG's Chicago office. "They believe they will earn more, they will spend more and their children will have a better life. They don't see a global conflict on the horizon." "U.S. and U.K. consumers, on the other hand, remain guarded, stressed and anxious," he says. "They are suffering the consequences of four years of recession and continued talk of a 'double dip.' They read the gloomy headlines from around the world and are filled with fear." The BCG numbers seem to bear that out. About 60% of U.S. consumers and 55% of U.K. consumers are worried about the future, the report states. But only 34% of Chinese consumers feel the same way. Some other numbers from the BCG study:
- 19% of Chinese respondents said they were not financially secure, compared with 51% of U.S. respondents and 42% of U.K. respondents.
- 51% of Chinese consumers believe that there will be a full economic recovery, compared with 27% of U.S. respondents and 21% in the U.K.
- 86% of Chinese respondents think life will improve over the next 10 years, compared with 67% of U.S. respondents.
- 80% of Chinese think their children will have a better life than they did, compared with just 24% in the U.S. and the U.K.

Leonardo DiCaprio refused to appear on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" on Sunday during a party at Los Angeles hotspot XIV, a source told Us Weekly.
Apparently, he doesn't understand who America's favorite family is.
Bruce, Brody and Brandon Jenner -- who are kind of like Kardashians, only with a little more dignity (but not much) -- were at the party, where Brody was performing DJ duties. Bruce -- who, as you know, is still technically married to Kardashian (evil) matriarch Kris Jenner -- was spotted enjoying a beer and hanging out in the DJ booth with his sons.
This is where I don't make a joke about someone mistaking him for a waitress.
Of course, anywhere someone in the family goes, so does a camera crew. And DiCaprio wanted no part of that.
"The organizers know how Leo feels about cameras, so they gave him a heads up," an insider told Us Weekly. "He didn't want to be filmed for the show; he wouldn't have wanted to be filmed for anything, but especially not that one."
I bet he'd want to be filmed if Martin Scorsese was there with his checkbook.
DiCaprio "waited until they were done" filming before entering. He reportedly "then went with some boys and had a great time."
The New York Post reported that Kim Kardashian's former BFF Paris Hilton also declined to be filmed.
That's pretty bad, when Paris Hilton doesn't want to use someone for shameless self-promotion.

As I scan the Internet, all the predictable comments from the Second Amendment crowd are appearing again in the wake of the latest gun massacre in Newtown, Conn.
I'll deal with a sampling of the most illogical ones.
"Guns don't kill people."
"It's a mental health issue, not a gun issue."
"If killers can't get guns legally, they'll get them illegally, and only the bad guys will have guns."
"Instead of banning guns, they should ban alcohol, cigarettes, cars, the forks that obese people eat with, etc., since those things kill more people than guns."
Of course guns don't kill people; it's the bullets that kill people. And, today's mass murderers are using assault-style weapons that can pump out 100 or more high-powered rounds in a minute, killing more people faster than conventional guns.
These guns are killing machines. They're weapons of war. And, extended clips for handguns turn standard guns into assault weapons, giving the shooter unlimited shots.
Mental illness is, and always has been, an insidious malady that is very difficult to pin down or treat. We should ramp up our efforts to deal with mental illness as a nation, but it will be hard to make a dent in the problem.
What we can do right now is to take the most dangerous weapons out of the equation before the next would-be mass-shooter snaps out on society.
When we look at the most infamous shootings — Columbine, Tucson, Aurora and Newtown — the perpetrators were young males who might be described as nerds or wimps, whose weapons were obtained legally and bought locally. They're not the sort of guys who would go into a dangerous neighborhood, contact gang members or deal with the Mafia.
The guns, ammunition and body armor are readily available to anybody with a credit card.
Naturally, there are a lot of things that can kill us. Cigarettes probably will kill me.
However, there is nothing that can kill faster and in a more terrifying manner than the aforementioned weapons.
The time is right now to reinstate the assault weapons ban of 1994 that was so unwisely repealed, and to close gun show loopholes and implement more stringent background checks for gun sales.
Those steps won't end gun violence but they will lower the body counts. It's a no-brainer.
I hope others will contact their congressman and President Barack Obama and demand that they do the right thing.

Playing in the beautifully renovated Bob Devaney Sports Center this year, a court naming dedication in honor of former Nebraska head coach Terry Pettit will take place on Sept. 6. The naming is the result of a generous gift given by Bill and Ruth Scott. NU will then host the Ameritas Player's Challenge on Sept. 12-14 as the Huskers will take on St. Mary's, Iowa State and Dayton.
Nebraska will hit the road for the final non-conference match of the season as the Huskers will take on Texas on Sept. 22.

More than just a story about a girl and her hair, the staged version of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel" is offered by the Oak Ridge Junior Playhouse for youth audiences and told with warmth and wit.
More than just a story about a girl and her hair, the staged version of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel" is offered by the Oak Ridge Junior Playhouse for youth audiences and told with warmth and wit.
The tale begins when a devoted husband, to satisfy the hunger and intense cravings of his wife, steals a bunch of red radishes from the garden of a neighboring witch. But when he is caught in the act, the evil witch makes a hard bargain with the couple, forcing them to give her their soon to be born child.
Naming the girl "Rapunzel," the witch takes the child away and locks her in a tall doorless tower where the young girl spends her days alone, longing for friends and companionship. Perhaps she will find it when a young prince and his servant discover the tower in the woods.
But how will he get in? And how can he get past the witch?
"We're really pleased to be telling this story," Managing Artistic Director Reggie Law said. "Although it is well known, it's not one that audiences get to see a lot." He adds, "The tale is fascinating in the way it holds a mirror up to the family dynamics between parents and children."
Suitable for the entire family, the ensemble cast of youth actors includes Maria Souleyrette, Elizabeth Bradshaw, Jake Wallace, Jade Lesher, Madeline Mixner, Garrett Hudson and Sierra Jones.
Presented by East Tennessee Children's Hospital and AT&T Pioneers, public performances of "Rapunzel," are scheduled for Saturday, March 9, at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. and Sunday, March 10, at 2 p.m.
For more information, log on to www.orplayhouse.com or call (865) 482-9999. Tickets are $10 for all seats. Children under the 3 are not admitted. This production is also made possible through support from WUOT 91.9 FM, the Arts and Culture Alliance of Knoxville and the Tennessee Arts Commission.

My friend was talking about an interesting trade idea for our team. Matt Cassell will probably be traded when (and if) Brady comes back in time to be there for summer workouts. If that is the case, what about we trade our 1st pick to NE for Cassel and their 1st round pick, and maybe a day 2 pick.
Essentially, with the draft value charts we would be using the equivalent of a mid-round pick on Cassel. We could use our 1st and second rounders to either move back down into the mid-early first to Maualuga, or Duke Robinson. Or we use NE 1st for Mack and our 2nd for Herman Johnson or Loadholt.
That would give us an O-line with:
(Albert and Loadholt could be switched around)
Albert/Waters/Niswanger/Robinson/??? + Maualuga
Our O-line would be set, and we would have a pretty decent QB, and maybe our franchise LB.
Personally I like Thigpen, and Im not super impressed with Cassel, and I doubt NE would want to trade for a top 5 pick. That being said, what do you guys think?

NEWTON, Mass. – The seventh-ranked and fourth-seeded Duke field hockey team advanced to the semifinals of the 2013 ACC Championship Thursday, outlasting No. 4 Virginia 2-1 in a rain-soaked contest at Boston College's Field Hockey Field.
With the win, head coach Pam Bustin's squad (14-5, 3-3 ACC) moves on to face top-ranked and top-seeded Maryland Friday, Nov. 7 at 1 p.m. on RSN and ESPN3.
"I was really proud that our players were the ones bringing it down together and coming up with a composed plan to keep the ball away from Virginia," Bustin said. "They wanted it today."
The Blue Devils earned a pair of early penalty corners seven minutes into the contest, and after a save by Virginia's Jenny Johnstone on the first opportunity, senior Emmie Le Marchand touched in a hit by senior Brenna Rescigno at the post to give Duke an early 1-0 advantage. The goal marked Le Marchand's team-leading 12th of the year while Rescigno was credited with her fourth assist.
Both teams had penalty corner opportunities throughout the remainder of the half, with the Blue Devil defense neutralizing multiple scoring threats by Virginia. The Cavaliers' Chloe Pendlebury fired a shot from the wing on a penalty corner play midway through the period, but Duke redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Blazing was there for her first save of the afternoon.
Despite a strong defensive effort, Virginia knotted the game at 1-all in the 31st minute when Caleigh Foust tipped in a feed from teammate Elly Buckley.
Blazing rebounded with a critical stop toward the end of the half following a defensive save by sophomore Amanda Kim, giving her four saves at the intermission.
Duke regained the lead just over six minutes into the second half when Le Marchand found redshirt senior Devon Gagliardi on a cross to the front of the cage for Gagliardi's fourth goal of the season.
Following a couple more saves by Blazing, Le Marchand stepped in to take a penalty stroke for the Blue Devils in the 51st minute. Her shot was saved by the Cavaliers' Johnstone, preserving the 2-1 score with 19:05 to play.
Anchored by Blazing in goal, the Duke defense weathered several more Virginia penalty corners until the Cavaliers pulled Johnstone from their goal with just over three minutes to go. The Blue Devils kept Virginia off the board the rest of the way to earn a spot in the semifinals.
"Lauren Blazing had a great game," Bustin said. "We had to make some changes on our defensive penalty corners from last weekend – just clean it up a little bit. And I thought that the entire unit made an effort and made a commitment to doing that. It allowed Lauren to make some great saves and some spectacular saves."
For the game, the Cavaliers held a 14-7 edge in shots and led in penalty corners 10-6. Blazing finished with nine saves, with Kim and Rescigno adding one defensive save each, while Virginia's Johnstone tallied three stops in the loss.

William Moody, known to wrestling fans as ghoulish manager Paul Bearer, died Tuesday, according to the WWE.
Moody's portrayal of Paul Bearer, a pale-faced funeral director, was a staple of WWE programs in the '90s. Bearer is most famous for managing four-time WWE champion The Undertaker and his long-lost half-brother Kane.
Prior to joining the WWE, Moody managed under the name Percival "Percy" Pringle, III.
Moody's portrayal of Paul Bearer was loosely based on in his own life. A former wrestler, Moody earned a degree in mortuary science and was a certified funeral director and embalmer.
"Our deepest condolences go out to Moody's family, friends and fans," said the WWE in a statement Tuesday night.
TMZ reports that "the details surrounding Bearer's death are unclear -- but he reportedly suffered from serious health problems over the past decade ... including morbid obesity and gallbladder issues."
Here are some moments from Paul Bearer's memorable and unorthodox WWE career

Terricka Cromartie Faked Suicide Over Fears Antonio Cromartie Was Cheating on Her
Seems a bit dramatic don't you think?
If true and I am sure the 911 recordings will confirm or not, either Terricka is extremely insecure about her marriage or on the extreme side needs mental evaluation.
Terricka Cason Cromartie, while seven months pregnant with their second child, sent her cornerback hubby these heart-stopping texts:
"God forgive me, I don't want to die. What have I done?" and "I cut my wrists. I took those pills."
Cromartie, who was in Miami, frantically called the Randolph Township, NJ, police at 2:43 a.m.
"There's a problem at my house. She's bleeding. She cut her wrists," he told the dispatcher.
When no one answered the bell or phone at 21 Fairfield Ave., cops broke down two doors with an ax and sledgehammer, ran upstairs and found Terricka in bed with her two daughters.
Terricka confessed she had faked the suicide try because she thought Cromartie — who has 10 kids, including eight with seven other women — was "cheating on her."
"She stated that she had no intention of going through with the act," says a police report on the May 6, 2011 incident. "She said she was exercising her First Amendment right to free speech and could say whatever she wanted."
The jealous wife also admitted sending text messages "to the woman she believes is romantically involved with her husband."
She apparently tried to scare off her would-be rival, "telling her that both she [Terricka] and her husband have [word redacted] even though they do not," the report says.
Officers told Terricka she had to undergo a psychiatric evaluation at a local hospital. Terricka objected, saying that a paid driver was coming to take to her to the airport to go to Miami, and that she would be in her sister's wedding that weekend.
But cops insisted she was "in need of involuntary commitment." She became "belligerent, uncooperative, irrational and argumentative."
She said she had no one to watch her kids, but finally agreed to be hauled off. The state's child-protection agency took temporary care of her daughters, one from a prior relationship and one with Cromartie.
Once again, police reports would confirm the validity of the story, but I am sure some of it is true. Maybe Mrs. Cromartie didn't think Antonio would call the police, but any decent human being will call the cops if someone is threatening to kill themselves, especially the wife and mother of their children.
Suicide should never be used as a pawn in anything.
Doesn't matter if Cromartie was cheating or not, that is irrelevant to the story, if true that is a very heartless thing to put anyone through especially with children in the home.
We have reached out to Mrs. Cromartie so she would have equal opportunity to tell her side of the story, so far there has been no response.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Failed to start UpdateBinaryCE.exe applicationPlease be sure that you are running the correct orbiter
1. Orbiter on my device is not that "stable", i.e. sometimes suddenly crashes with no apparent reason.
2. After an Orbiter crash, the orbiter won't start if my hybrid is playing some video. I have to stop playback and have the Onscreen Orbiter go back to the main screen and then the Orbiter on Web Pad will start. Once it happened also that the hybrid wasn't playing, my XP Orbiter was in use (maybe on Computing screen) and Web Pad Orbiter didn't start until I switched back XP Orbiter to main screen.
3. When starting Orbiter it always tells me that last time it failed to update, and asks me to do again. If I say "yes" it gives me an error: Code: Failed to start UpdateBinaryCE.exe application Please be sure that you are running the correct orbiter
4. Recently I've seen that occasionally on Orbiter restart the configuration file gets lost, i.e I have to re-enter device name and dcerouter IP
5. After a quick router reload Orbiter is not restarting automatically (as it happens for WinXP Orbiter). It always tells me obviously about the failed update, and it ends giving me a Fatal error: Window creation failed, and then I have to restart Orbiter manually
6 . I have made some restriction on the user that can access Orbiters. Basically I have 2 user, a "family" one and myself. On pluto admin I arranged the settings in order to require the pin code when someone is accessing any orbiter using my account, but it is not working. This means that user "family" can switch to my account without being asked any pin. This is happening on any orbiter (i.e also on Xp Orbiter and hybrid OnScreen Orbiter)

Jeffco school board member Laura Boggs has once again angered other board members with her comments, this time agreeing with a radio host that the district superintendent "should be shot" for having a full-time employee to update social media.
Boggs likely will receive her second censure at the Nov. 1 board meeting. The board censured her in 2010 for a variety of behavior, including linking the words "school" and "stupid" on a classroom white board and telling Superintendent Cindy Stevenson she would "tear this county apart."

GOG.com now features a countdown that will hit zero around 6:00 am EST tomorrow, saying "System found." This is a confirmation of recent rumors that the online store for DRM-free games will soon offer System Shock 2, the highly regarded action/RPG sequel. This is covered by a Q&A on Rock, Paper, Shotgun talking with Guillaume Rambourg of GOG.com about the news, and with Stephen Kick of Night Dive, who explains how this small developer was able to secure the rights to work on re-releasing the game in this manner. There has also been speculation that development would also commence on a new installment in the series, but according to Kick, Night Dive's next project after preparing SS2 for GOG.com will be an original intellectual property.

It isn't a matter of being "that guy". Mongoose is online more days than he isn't. Given that, it isn't much to ask that he answers questions in his own thread in a timely fashion. It would be one thing if he were on here as little as Tuna, cyberrave, or the ptp crew.
It isn't a matter of not being answered if he's busy. Its a matter of not being answered, but seeing him active in other threads. If he has time to goof off in the Tunaball threads, he has time to post "still waiting, hang in there guys" here.
Yes, I get that it's an unnecessary update. Personally, I'm content to wait for the updates as Mongoose gives them (as long as they aren't months apart), but the question was asked. Leaving it hanging out there in a public place while you're active in other areas is bad form.

Official Book Launch Day!
First thing after dropping the kids off at school, I went to the bookstore with my friend because she INSISTED on running out and buying the book with me so she could brag to everyone. It was pretty cool seeing my book on the shelf of the store! The employees there congratulated me and everything.
My book on an actual book shelf at an actual book store! Woo Hoo!
My friend, Ginny with Clay and her goddaughter, Brooklyn.
I got home, threw some Happy Meals at the kids and took Clay to school early so I could have a little conference with his teachers. On my way out of the school, I twisted my left ankle and dropped like a rock, landing on my right knee. I honestly didn't think I'd be able to stand up. My ankle hurt so badly, but I was on a tight schedule, so I limped on out to my car and hightailed it to an appointment about 45 minutes away.
I came home and had just enough time to pee before grabbing Jackson and rushing him to his doctor's appointment.
I texted Savannah on the way and begged her to mix up the meatloaf and throw it in the oven. (She did an awesome job, by the way!)
I got home as Savannah was putting dinner on the table. Thankfully Joe took Austin to baseball practice. When he got back, I, ran (or more like hobbled) to Target for diapers and soap and toothpaste and stuff. I suppose I could've put off the Target run for a little while longer, but I had already been using dishcloths as diapers and giving the kids gum instead of making them brush their teeth for like a week so off I went.
I woke up this morning with a stuffy nose because I always get sick before speaking in public. It's tradition. So, come on out and see me sneeze all over the place while I limp around like an idiot, because I don't have time to go to the doctor for my foot, at the book signing on Saturday!
Such is the glamorous life of an author. Well, at least when the author is a mom first. :)

I would take a runny nose over what happens to me before public speaking any day! Instead of my nose rebelling against me, it's my stomach. Before leading my first Financial Peace University class I spent the entire day in the bathroom. I even had to write on my notes:
- Greet everyone and introduce myself
- Ask everyone for their names/why they're here
- Smile and take deep breaths
I told them all what was on my list and they laughed and I felt better.
Okay, now that I've finished my own blog post, under you're blog post, I'm off to do my dishes.
Again - congratulations!!!! And I hope your ankle feels better before the book signing!

Congratulations! I had to tell you - while I was calling the library to tell them to buy your book (I want everyone to know about it!), my 2.5 year old got the toilet brush and was splashing toilet water all over the bathroom. It seemed fitting, since that sounds like something that might happen at your house. I am pregnant with my fifth child, and an aspiring writer myself, so I always enjoy reading about your adventures. God bless and congrats!

Congratulations! It couldn't happen to a better person. Breathe it in - let it out. Shout, Scream, run around the room, sit down and sip a glass of wine, change a diaper and hand out the snacks, jump up and down, do whatever you want, smile, cry, laugh. Whew. Happy, HAPPY Day. Enjoy it. Let it sink in. The awe, the wonder. I am soooo happy for you! 8D WOW!

Oh I totally forgot to ask how your ankle is doing. That should have been one of the questions ;)
So did you move the book that had the picture facing forward so it had the spine out so your book could be picture out? I would totally have been doing that if it were my book. Not that I'll ever have a book, but I can plan for the small details anyway!

URBANA, Ill. – After impressive short-handed wins in the first and second round, the No. 15 Duke women's tennis team were eliminated from the NCAA Tournament after falling to top-ranked Florida, 4-0, in the Round of 16 Friday morning at the Kahn Outdoor Tennis Center in Urbana, Ill. The Blue Devils conclude their season with a 16-10 ledger, while the Gators advance to the quarterfinals to face California.
The Blue Devils dropped the doubles point after being forced to forfeit their match at the No. 3 position and dropping the match at No. 1 doubles. Senior Mary Clayton and junior Hanna Mar lost two early breaks and fell behind, 5-0, against Florida's 11th-ranked tandem of Lauren Embree and Sophie Oyin before holding serve and winning their lone game of the match. Embree and Oyin sealed the crucial opening point for the Gators with an 8-1 win. With the loss, the duo of Clayton and Mar fall to 5-6 for the season.
On court two, sophomore Annie Mulholland and junior Marianne Jodoin were on serve, 4-4, against Alexandra Circone and Caroline Hitimana before the match was left unfinished.
Florida extended its lead to 3-0 after senior Nicole Lipp was unable to slow 123rd-ranked Olivia Janowicz at the No. 5 position, falling, 6-1, 6-2. In the second set, Lipp hung tough by keeping the match on serve, 2-2, before dropping two consecutive breaks to fall behind, 5-2. Janowicz clinched the match with her next service game.
Jodoin and No. 89 Brianna Morgan remained on serve in the first set, until Morgan was able to win the first break to gain a 5-3 advantage. In the second set, Morgan quickly went up a break, 1-0, and never looked back, sealing the match for the Gators, 6-3, 6-0. With the loss, Jodoin concludes the season with a 30-8 overall ledger, including a 18-2 mark in dual matches.
On court four, No. 106 Clayton was able to win two straight breaks to stay alive in her match against 17th-ranked Oyen, before it was left unfinished, 1-6, 4-5.
Mulholland was the lone Blue Devil to win the first set, as she downed 51st-ranked Cercone, 6-3, in the frame. The match was left unfinished, 6-3, 2-3. At the top position, No. 29 Mar fell in the first set, 1-6, but led top-ranked Embree by a break in the second, 5-3, before the match was left unfinished, 1-6, 5-3.
"If anyone can appreciated what Duke did this year, getting here with four players, it's (assistant coach) Dave (Balogh) and me," said Florida head coach Rolan Thornqvist. "It's a remarkable feat to get to the Round of 16, and they gave us all we could handle on the courts. They're very competitive, and I appreciate what they did. With that being said, I thought we played well."
Clayton, a native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., ends her illustrious career at Duke with a 110 singles wins, the 13th most in program history. After tallying a 12-7 singles record in dual matches this season, and a 5-3 mark in ACC play, Duke's captain has etched her name into program record books in career singles wins and career ACC singles wins (29, 2nd), while also holding one of the highest winning percentages in Duke tennis history (.743, 8th).
After advancing the Round of 16 for the sixth consecutive year, Duke concludes its season with an overall 16-10 record.

Team loses to Delano
It was a rough tournament start for the Taft Divas all-star softball team Saturday morning when they lost to a Delano team 20-3 on Oliver field.
Delano didn't waste any time scoring runs by scoring 10 in the first inning with the only hits coming on two singles and an inside the park home run. The inning was called due to the 10 run rule.
Taft bounced back in their half of the first inning thanks to a pair of walks, Kayron Vasquez's run scoring single and a throwing error by the Delano infield.
However, Delano doubled their score in the top of the second inning highlighted by a two run triple. Like the previous inning, the second inning was called due to the 10-run rule.
Thanks to a pair of walks, a wild pitch and a passed ball, Taft got one of the runs back in their half of the second. Despite getting a run, the game was called after the second inning due to the mercy rule.
Taft went on to play another game this morning. To read the full story on how the Divas did in the tournament along with how the other Taft team did, pick up Tuesday's Driller.

Israel not responsible for Mideast strife
Lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians cannot come through a unilateral declaration, but can only come through negotiations that settle all the outstanding issues to the satisfaction of both sides and mutual respect and security. Hamas and most Muslim countries refuse to acknowledge that Israel has the right to exist. Until this is changed, no peace will occur.

Xamarin has announced a new online service designed to help developers move apps to mobile.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
ReportsMore >>
WebcastsMore >>
The browser-based service scans existing .NET libraries to determine "by device platform" the percentage of code that can immediately be incorporated into mobile apps using Xamarin.
The service also provides a roadmap of the additional work required to migrate the remaining code to create fully native iOS, Android, Mac, Windows Phone, and Windows Store apps.
Citing Gartner mobile workforce growth figures, Xamarin reminds us that there is pressure for businesses to migrate customer engagement and internal business processes to mobile devices on all major platforms.
Xamarin asserts (does it ever do anything else?) that it solves this challenge by unifying native iOS, Android, and Mac development in C#, the language used by an estimated 8 million developers worldwide.
The company says it provides developers with complete access to 100 percent of the device platform APIs, making it possible to build fully native apps for multiple platforms in a fraction of the time.
"With Xamarin's new .NET mobility scanner service, developers gain insight into how much of their existing .NET libraries can be reused in apps for each mobile platform using Xamarin and are able to create a detailed roadmap of the remaining code to mobilize," said the firm.

Men's Golf in Contention at NCAA Championhip
Associate SID
HUTCHINSON, Kan. – With a fast start to their second round, the 16th-ranked LSU Tigers have fired themselves into contention for the team title at the 2014 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships after finishing Saturday's action in a tie for sixth place at 4-under par when play was suspended in the event being played at Prairie Dunes Country Club.
After opening with a team score of 1-under par 279 in the first round, the Tigers were 3-under par through holes Nos. 11-14 in their second round when play was suspended due to darkness at 8:30 p.m. CT.
The field at this year's NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships is still playing catch up following Friday's opener as the morning wave of teams had barely started the first round when inclement weather delayed the competition three different times before the continuation of the first round was suspended until Saturday morning. The second round will continue Sunday at 7 a.m. CT.
The Tigers will continue play Sunday in contention for a spot in the eight-team match-play tournament for the national championship as they are tied for sixth place with second-ranked Oklahoma State and 14th-ranked Oklahoma in the 30-team field. LSU actually catapulted itself into a tie for the lead with No. 3-ranked Stanford at 10-under par for the championship as players began to make the turn in the second round.
Stanford was one of only six teams in the field to complete its second round on Saturday as it followed a 1-over par 281 in the opening round with a blistering 13-under par 267 in the second round to finish the day atop the team standings at 12-under par with a 36-hole total of 548 for the championship.
The Cardinal lead No. 1-ranked Alabama and No. 24-ranked South Carolina by four shots in the race for the No. 1 seed in match play as the Crimson Tide followed a round of 6-under par 274 in the morning with its score of 2-under par 278 in the afternoon for a 36-hole score of 8-under par 552 on the day, and the Gamecocks opened with an 8-under par 272 in the first round while still having yet to tee off in the second round.
Rounding out the Top 8 are No. 23-ranked Auburn in fourth place with a 6-under 274 and No. 28-ranked SMU in fifth place with a 5-under 275 in the first round as both teams have yet to tee off in the second round.
Junior Ben Taylor proved to be the top Tiger over the course of the day as he picked up his ball when play was suspended at 1-under par for the championship after playing 31 holes on the day. Taylor opened up with a 1-over par 71 in the first round before playing at 2-under par through 13 holes in his second round, thanks to a trio of birdies at the par-three second, par-four third and par-four eighth holes. He will resume play in a tie for 29th place as the leading LSU Tiger on the leaderboard.
Senior Smylie Kaufman and junior Curtis Thompson matched each other shot-for-shot throughout Saturday's action after firing team-leading rounds of 2-under par 68 in the morning before picking up at 2-over par in a delayed second round. They are currently tied with one another for 39th place overall with Kaufman playing 31 holes and Thompson playing 30 holes in their second round.
Sophomore Zach Wright added a 2-over par 72 toward LSU's team score of 1-under par 279 in the first round before finishing 14 holes at 1-under par in the second round to finish the day at 1-over par through 32 holes, which tied him for 54th place at the time play was suspended. Wright will be the first Tiger to sign his scorecard upon completing the second round on Sunday morning.
Junior All-SEC performer and All-America hopeful Stewart Jolly rebounded from a 4-over 74 in the first round to sit at 2-under par for his second round after carding four birdies and two bogeys through 11 holes for the afternoon round. Jolly fired out of the blocks with birdies at the par-four first, par-four third and par-three fourth holes before picking up another shot with a fourth birdie at the par-five seventh hole to get to 4-under for his second round. He turned at 2-under following back-to-back bogeys at No. 8 and No. 9 before picking up his ball on the 12th hole.
Stanford's Cameron Wilson fired a 7-under par 63 in the second round to catapult himself into a share of the individual lead with South Carolina's Will Starke as both players will tee off on Sunday morning at 6-under for the championship. Wilson is in the clubhouse with a 36-hole score of 6-under par 134, while Starke has yet to tee off in the second round after opening with a score of 6-under par 64 in the first round.

A male driver was ticketed today for careless driving resulting in injury after Boulder police say he hit a pedestrian crossing Broadway at Baseline Road, according to officials.
At around 8:18 a.m. this morning, a 32-year-old man was crossing Broadway on the south side of Baseline Road intersection when a car coming east on Baseline hit him while turning right onto Broadway, according to police spokeswoman Kim Kobel.
According to police radio traffic, the pedestrian was flipped over during the accident. Kobel said he was transported to Boulder Community Hospital with leg and hip injuries.
Kobel said the pedestrian was in the crosswalk when he was hit and had the crossing signal.
The driver, whose name was not immediately available, told officers that the sun was in his eyes. Officers on scene said that the driver was wearing sunglasses, and also had failed to take off the "UV" stickers on them, which may also have impaired his vision, according to Kobel.
Southbound Broadway was briefly closed at Baseline Road after the accident.

Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by and reminding me not to give into the stress monster!

Hey, just saw your stress notifier alert is on high - totally understandable for this week in your life, but I hope that as the weekend approaches, you can get a breath and relax a little. And don't forget the support you have right here. It takes a "village," but not necessarily an "iVillage"! (Sorry, I probably should have fought that one off, but my resistance to puns is famously weak.) Hang in there!

Hey, you. Sending relaxing vibes your way. (Ugh. Mary's gone all new-agey.) But you know what I mean! Lean back, take a few deep breaths, give yourself a little moment of tension-free living. And know that there are people you've never met who care!

Hi there - I love this stress notifier (hey, I came up with it, so patting myself on the back here, shamelessly:) - so just wanted to stop by and say I hope you have a better day tomorrow. I still think your blog is great at the solo mom, but I totally know what you mean about losing its identity over there.Hopefully this means you'll be writing more here!
