I felt restless today. Perhaps because today I made mandatory for myself a solid rest before the coming week's mad frenzy of packing for storage and staging a house to put on the market.

Screen Wives
HusbandryYear Released: 2016
Format: LP
Label: SuperFi
Reviewed by John Andrews on May 29, 2017
A friend of mine from across the pond asked me to describe Screen Wives sound to them, and as we all know the easiest way to describe a band's sound is to pick two other bands and then describe it as being on some kind of drugs. Which is unfair to Screen Wives really as they don't sound like any bands I'm currently aware of and this is a very good thing indeed. Although if pushed I would probably say "90s Dischord crossed with Presents-era Jerome's Dream, on poppers". To which my transatlantic friend initially said "Well that sounds weird" and later "That's pretty accurate". Husbandry is a step up on all fronts from 2014's Women in Love EP. The songs are more frantic, the guitars are bendier and weirder, the drums clatter and roll around at lightspeed, production is punchier and the lyrics are more righteous and more personal. Go and see them if you can because they're a great live band too.

French and Indian War Encampment this weekend
More than 500 re-enactors will collaborate to recreate the 1759 British siege of Fort Niagara in an historic setting this weekend, during Old Fort Niagara's French and Indian War Encampment.
Large-scale battle re-enactments will occur at 2 p.m. daily. French camps, games and merchants will be within the fort walls, and British camps, games and merchants will be in sections of the state park just outside the fort.
Event organizers point out the French and Indian War (1754-60) was very costly to the triumphant British and led to new taxes on the king's American subjects. This, in turn, spawned political unrest in the 13 colonies, with prominent figures such as Gen. George Washington gaining military experience during this war. It would go to serve him well during the subsequent war for American independence.
Events at the fort include:
Saturday, July 4
•10 a.m. - Lacrosse. Watch Native and European players in a traditional game of lacrosse, known as "the little brother of war."
•11 a.m. - French Native Council. Frontier diplomacy continues as Kaendae brokers a Native American withdrawal from the siege.
•11 a.m. to 1 p.m. - Book signing with David L. Preston, author of "Braddock's Defeat."
•Noon - Siege tour, engineering and artillery demonstration. Learn how the British intended to approach the fort by trenching toward its walls. Discover their plans for bombarding the fort and see guns, howitzers and mortars fired at the fort.
•1:15 p.m. - Concert of military music. Enjoy popular tunes of the 1750s and find out how musicians played a vital role in the life of the 18th century military.
•1:45 p.m. - Military engineering demonstration. Find out how an 18th century siege was laid and the role of military engineers in reducing a well-defended fort.
•2 p.m. - Battle re-enactment. French soldiers launch a spontaneous counterattack against the British positions.
•3 p.m. - Kids drill (youth program). Enlist in the French Army and be trained to defend the fort.
•3 to 5 p.m. - Book signing with Preston.
•3:30 p.m. - French artillery bombardment. See the French fire their big guns from the Dauphin Battery.
•4 p.m. - 18th century games.
•4:30 p.m. - Cricket match in the British camp
•5 and 6 p.m. - Musket demonstrations.
Sunday, July 5
•10:30 a.m. - Board shuttles to La Belle Famille
•11 a.m. - Re-enactment of the Battle of La Belle Famille
•Noon - French artillery demonstration.
•1:15 p.m. - Concert of military music.
•2 p.m. - Battle re-enactment. Watch as an increasingly desperate French garrison tries to withstand a British attack. British forces have moved closer to the fort and now bring devastating fire to bear on the fort's walls.
•2:45 p.m. - Surrender ceremonies. With a breach blown in the fort's wall and the French relief force defeated at La Belle Famille, the fort's commandant, Capt. Pierre Pouchot, surrenders the post.
•3 p.m. - British military funeral. Now in possession of the fort, the British must bury their dead, including their leader, Gen. John Prideaux.
The weekend includes 18th century merchants and artisans, including several from Colonial Williamsburg demonstrating their crafts, plus living history camps, food practices, military medicine, fur trading, guard mount, special displays and more.

Reality TV star Jenni 'Jwoww' Farley is pregnant with her second child.
The former Jersey Shore star and her new husband Roger Mathews are already parents to 15-month-old daughter Meilani, who acted as a flower girl when they got married on Sunday (18Oct15).
As well as celebrating their nuptials, the couple's loved ones had another reason to toast them as Jenni and her groom apparently announced they are adding to their brood.
According to ET Online, the pair told their guests the news as they celebrated their wedding at Addison Park in Keyport, New Jersey.
No further details are known about the new addition to the family, with no due date confirmed and no word on the gender of the baby.
Jenni wore a custom-made dress by Stephen Yearick at her wedding, with Meilani decked out in a miniature version of the gown to match her mum.
The reality TV star was most excited about Meilani's outfit, telling her fans earlier this month (Oct15) that she couldn't wait to see the tot dressed up as she was going to "steal the show".

Daftar Ucapan Selamat Pernikahan Lengkap
Ucapan Selamat Pernikahan Lengkap - Then maybe leadership just suits you fine. Some people believe that great leaders are made, not born. Yes, it may be true that some people are born with natural talents. However, without practice, without drive, without enthusiasm, and without experience, there can be no true development in leadership. You must also remember that good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their natural skills. This takes a commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses. First of all, lets define leadership. To be a leader, one must be able to influence others to accomplish a goal, or an objective. He contributes to the organization and cohesion of a group. Contrary to what Ucapan Selamat Pernikahan most people believe, leadership is not about power. It is not about harassing people or driving them using fear. It is about encouraging others towards the goal of the organization. It is putting everyone on the same page and helping them see the big picture of the organization. You must be a leader not a boss. First of all, you have to get people to follow you. How is this accomplished? People follow others when they see a clear sense of purpose. People will only follow you if they see that you know where you are going. Remember that bumper sticker? The one that says, dont follow me, Im lost too? The same holds true for leadership. If you yourself do not know where youre headed to, chances are people will not follow you at all. You yourself must know the vision of the organization. Having a clear sense of hierarchy, knowing who the bosses are, who to talk to, the organizations goals and objectives, and how the organization works is the only way to show others you know what you are doing. Being a leader is not about what you make others do. Its about who you are, what you know, and what you do. You are a reflection of what youre subordinates must be. Studies have shown that one other Ucapan Selamat Pernikahan bases of good leadership is the trust and confidence your subordinates have of you. If they trust you they will go through hell and high water for you and for the organization. Trust and confidence is built on good relationships, trustworthiness, and high ethics. The way you deal with your people, and the relationships you build will lay the foundation for the strength of your group. The stronger your relationship, the stronger their trust and confidence is in your capabilities. Once you have their trust and confidence, you may now proceed to communicate the goals and objectives you are to undertake. Communication is a very important key to good leadership. Without this you can not be a good leader. The knowledge and technical expertise you have must be clearly imparted to other people. Also, you can not be a good leader and unless you have good judgment. You must be able to assess situations, weigh the pros and cons of any decision, and actively seek out a solution. It is this judgment that your subordinates will come to rely upon. Therefore, good decisionmaking is vital to the success of your organization. Leaders are not doitall heroes. You should not claim to know everything, and you should not rely upon your skills alone. You should recognize and take advantage of the skills and talents your subordinates have. Only when you come to this realization will you be able to work as one cohesive unit. Remember being a leader takes a Ucapan Selamat Pernikahan good deal of work and time. It is not learned overnight. Remember, also, that it is not about just you. It is about you and the people around you. So, do you have the drive and the desire to serve required of leaders? Do you have the desire to work cooperatively with other people? Then start now.

Weigh the pros and cons of every option. Assess each option by looking at the advantages and disadvantages it offers you. In this way, you get more insights about the consequences of such an option. Trust Pantun Cinta yourself and make that decision. Now that you have assessed your options, it is now time to trust yourself.

SELF IMPROVEMENT AND SUCCESS Everything that happens to us happens in purpose. And sometimes, one thing leads to another.

I remember watching Patch Adams – its my favorite movie, actually. Its one great film that will help you improve yourself. Hunter "patch" Adams is a medical student who failed to make it through the board exams. After months of suffering in melancholy, depression and suicidal attempts – he decided to seek for medical attention and voluntarily admitted himself in a psychiatric ward. His months of stay in the hospital led him to meeting different kinds of people. Sick people in that matter. He met a catatonic, a mentally retarded, a schizophrenic and so on. Patch found ways of treating his own ailment and finally realized he has to get back on track. He woke up Pantun Cinta Romantis one morning realizing that after all the failure and pains he has gone through, he still want to become the a doctor. He carries with himself a positive attitude that brought him self improvement and success. He didn't only improved himself, but also the life of the people around him and the quality of life. Did he succeed? Needless to say, he became the best damn doctor his country has ever known.

They were picked on, laughed at, pushed around, called ugly names, and treated with disdain. No wonder they grew up to be full of resentment. If that was your experience, it is time you cut yourself loose from that mindset and do self esteem improvement. Start reading about the life of successful persons and you will soon discover that many of them had such low self esteem that they could not even complete an elementary education. Many decided to override their low self esteem and improve their attitude, whatever it took. They became some of the greatest men and women that ever lived. Low self esteem has never helped anyone else and it sure will not help you. It can only drive you into depression, anger, grudge, fear and all the other evils that it generates. Reprogram your thinking and control your state of mind. You must believe that you are worth much more than you think or you will remain at the foot of the ladder and never make an attempt to climb it. Do not waste your life away with feelings of inadequacies. Instead, think of ways to go about self esteem improvement. Success is yours, just reach out and grasp it. How to Cara Merawat Bulu Kucing Motivate Yourself Forever Just as willpower is an essential factor in achieving success, at some point in time, discouragement and lack of motivation may hinder you from reaching your objective. And it is up to you, and you alone to devise techniques that will help you keep that drive within afire.

Harga Susu Appeton Weight Gain 2017 - While the thoracic involves the chest, if you read more about edema and related illnesses you can learn how it causes back pain. What causes Osteoporosis varies. Osteoporosis may emerge from drops in estrogen levels. Estrogen is a hormone that works in harmony with a selection of steroid hormones. The hormone produces in the ovaries, which stimulates sexual heat estrus and develops the female secondary sex characteristics. Estrus is Harga Susu Appeton Weight Gain 2017 the sexual heat we feel as females, which starts at regular intervals when excited. Lack of exercise, immobility, and deficiency of calcium is also considered when Osteoporosis is present. Protein deficiency, bone marrow disease, deficiency of Vitamin D, Cushing's syndrome, Hyperthyroidism, liver disease, and increases in phosphate is all linked to Osteoporosis. When Osteoporosis is present the bones rate often exceeds the rate in which the bones form. Osteoporosis causes phosphate Phosphoric Acid to increase stimulation, which are affected by the parathyroid activities, and increases in "bone resorption." Parathyroid Harga Susu Appeton Weight Gain glands are located near the thyroids, which is where parathyroid activities start to increase when Osteoporosis is present. Osteoporosis also causes estrogen to slow bone resorption.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 55878
USB keyboard dead after installing kernel 2.4.9-13
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:38:07 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-7 i686)
Description of problem:
After installing kernel-2.4.9-13.i686.rpm, machine comes up normally but
USB keyboard is dead. I can't type into kdm login window, and CTRL-ALT-F1
will not take me to a virtual terminal. After reverting to kernel 2.4.9-7,
keyboard again works normally.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Red Hat kernel-2.4.9-13.i686.rpm
2.Reboot into new kernel.
Actual Results: Mouse works, but keyboard is dead.
Expected Results: Keyboard should have worked.
Additional info:
Keyboard is USB. Machine is HP 9680C. Am running XFree86-4.1.0-3
and kdebase-2.2-12.
Pete: any ideas ?
I tried booting into single user mode. Linux came up normally and gave me a
shell prompt. Again the keyboard was dead. Had to power off to force a
reboot. This seems to rule out X/KDE as possible problems. Here is my
/etc/modules.conf file:
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
# For ethernet support
alias eth0 8139too
alias eth1 tulip
# For parallel port support
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
below parport_pc ppdev parport # load ppdev and parport modules
# Added for IP tunnel support
alias tunl0 ipip
alias mytunnel ipip
# Added for CD-RW support
options ide-cd ignore=hdc # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdc
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
below sg ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
below sr_mod ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
below ide-scsi ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
# Added for installation of OSS sound support
alias sound-slot-0 off
alias char-major-14 off
I need a dmesg output to tell why it died.
If the box has network, it should be easy to let it boot
then use ssh or telnet to log in and run "dmesg > /tmp/xxx".
If that is not feasible, the next best thing would be
to borrow a PS/2 keyboard somewhere and use that to
the same effect.
As the last backup, getting /var/log/messages may be
sufficient (it has problems with ordering, but may work
as a last resort)

dmesg output
I just noticed that /usr/src/linux-2.4.9-13/drivers/usb/usbkbd.c is included in
kernel-source-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm, but kernel-2.4.9-13.i686.rpm does not contain
the corresponding driver usbkbd.o (in /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/usb).
/sbin/lsmod shows the usbkbd module has loaded when I run kernel 2.4.9-7:
usbkbd 3424 0 (unused)
input 3840 0 [keybdev hid usbkbd]
usbcore 51808 1 [hid usbkbd usb-uhci]
What is the exact make and model of your keyboard?
I think contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices
may be of more use than the marketing name.

/proc/bus/usb/devices under kernel-2.4.9-7
Pete, is this something that can be fixed by adding something to the hid
driver, or does this keyboard require the boot protocol usbkbd driver.
I recompiled kernel from kernel-source-2.4.9-13.i386.rpm. Used RedHat config
file kernel-2.4.9-i686.config, but I set CONFIG_USB_KBD=m. Keyboard now works
fine. dmesg now shows:
usb.c: registered new driver keyboard
input0: HP Multimedia Keyboard Hub on usb1:3.0
usbkbd.c: :USB HID Boot Protocol keyboard driver

usb.c: registered new driver hid
input0: USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [HP Multimedia Keyboard Hub] on usb1:3.0
hiddev0: USB HID v1.00 Device [HP Multimedia Keyboard Hub] on usb1:3.1
I have what seems to be the same problem. After installing
kernel-2.4.9-13.i686.rpm, my USB keyboard is unresponsive from both X and text
mode. It does work, however, on the grub menu screen. Also, the USB mouse
attached to the keyboard works fine. This same keyboard does work with
kernel-2.4.7-10 (maybe because this kernel seems to load the usbkbd driver
that's missing from 2.4.9-13?)

I have similar problem when install RH 7.2, my USB keyboard stops responding
before the installation asks me to input grub's password... I then try to
connect a PS/2 keyboard and it works (USB keyboard still does not, but pressing
[NumLock], [CapLock] and [ScrollLock] key on PS/2 actually turns on both
keyboards' LEDs).
After 7.2's successful installation and reboot the system, the USB keyboard
dies right after the bootup message "USB Keyboard... [OK]".
Switch back to 7.1 now, it's back to normal.
to firstname.lastname@example.com:
Your problem appears to be unrelated to the problems above. If you install RH
7.2 and remove the files /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/usb/usbkbd.o, your
problem will likely go away.
It is the removal of this file in the errata 7.2 kernels that caused these
_other_ keyboards, mentioned above, to fail.
Do you see any solution to this problem that can get everybody to work
together nicely? This looks like a big hassle in that every fix appears to break
one person or another.
I am trying to get me one of those that "require" usbkbd.
I figure Dell does not ship such trash so Michael cannot help.
Currently I am looking for someone with HP multimedia keyboard
in the Bay Area or near Red Hat Meridian.
Yeah, I agree that lxl@ got it backwards, most probably.
Let's see if renaming usbkbd helps him or her.

Vojtech's test program
Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 20:47:31 +0100

Could you by any chance try to run the 'evtest' program (i
can send it to you if you don't have it handy) on the /dev/input/event
device created for this keyboard? And/or dmesg with DEBUG enabled in
On my RedHat 7.1 Kernel 2.4.9-13 system if after boot up I ssh into the box
and rmmod hid then I modprobe hid my keyboard (HP8676C computer HP USB
internet keyboard) starts to work.
HP Keyboard data:
Model SK-2506U
Rev 1.1C
The 5184-4708 is not available from HP parts finder anymore,
though its companion mouse 5184-4712 still is (hmm...).
Generic replacement keyboard 5065-6054 is tested to work OK.
The recommended replacement keyboard for HP-9680C is
5065-1389, and not tested yet.
I think I may have found a fix for the Dell keyboard issue that won't conflict
with the various other keyboards out there. If you add the following line to
/etc/modules.conf, everything works ok:
below usbkbd hid
This makes the HID driver load first, and it cures my problems. I need to know
if this works for anybody with the broken HP keyboard, specifically, does your
keyboard still work under 2.4.7-10 with the above line in /etc/modules.conf
On my RedHat 7.2 Kernel 2.4.9-13 kernel it did not work.
HP 5183-9960 keyboard
Oh wonderful, 5183-9960 is not in the Partsurfer either.
Recommended replacement for HP-8676C is 5064-8886
(I bet it works too :(). Those HP people really roll
their part deprecation.
Michael pursues a different avenue: he tries to order modules.
We know that correct ordering between hid and usbkbd allows
mouse events to be received by hid, then usbkbd gets keyboard
events that hid did not understand. Personally, I think the
ordering is a fragile thing which is hard to get right.
Remember how it all started: we changed "nothing" between
7.1 and 7.2, but something caused them to be reordered and
suddenly Dell mice stopped working.
This is why I am trying to fix HID.
I am sorry to the delay that it causes.

ATEN with broken GET_REPORT
I worked around my (and hopefuly Erik Troan's) adapter(s) in HID.
Now to the HP and Compaq equipment.
Unfortunately, a debugging on customer equipment seems to be in order.
I would be grateful if someone with the "usbkbd works, hid doesn't"
problem recompiled hid with debugging on. I am sorry to say, it
does require source code poking. In file drivers/usb/hid-core.c,
`#undef DEBUG' has to be replaced with `#define DEBUG 1'.
Then, do this:
echo /bin/true > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
rmmod usbkbd
rmmod hid
insmod /your/kernel/path/drivers/usb/hid.o
dmesg > /tmp/1.d
cp /var/log/messages > /tmp/1.m
Then, attach /tmp/1.* to this bug, but
The GET_REPORT workaround is in CVS for >2.4.17-0.15.
Let us hold it in RawHide for the moment, because
it is strictly for testing.
The original requestor is willing to recompile kernels,
so we are pursuing custom debugging.

I started with kernel-2.4.9-13.src.rpm.
I did the %prep step, then proceed from there:
1. Edited drivers/usb/hid-core.c to turn on debugging.
2. Edited Makefile to set EXTRAVERSION=-13kbddbg.

8. make bzdisk
9. make modules
10. make modules_install
11. Booted from floppy from step 8
12. HP USB keyboard didn't work, as expected. Logged in remotely.
13. echo /bin/true > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
14. rmmod usbkbd (no driver loaded)
15. rmmod hid
16. insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9-13kbddbg/kernel/drivers/usb/hid.o
17. dmesg > 1.d
18. cp /var/log/messages 1.m
I deleted stuff from 1.m from before the reboot in step 11. Files are attached.
Michael, thank you for the data. Unfortunately for us,
it is evidently not a problem similar to ATEN's.
No configuration requests fail.
Would you please re-do it with DEBUG_DATA enanbled in the same way?
You only need to do "make modules", then boot as you did before
(certainly don't clean with "make mrproper", or it'll take ages
to rebuild).
With DEBUG_DATA I am trying to find if hid_input_report is
getting anything.

/var/log/messages from run with additional hid-core debugging turned on
Michael, did you hit any keys after loading the hid
with DEBUG_DATA? It should print one more of those
"report size N (unnumbered)" for every key hit.
I don't think I hit any more keys. I hit some keys right after booting,
verifying that the keyboard didn't work. Then I logged in remotely through
the network and ran the tests from the other machine. I was in the next room
when I did the tests, so I'm sure I didn't touch the keyboard between doing
insmod of hid.o and capturing the dmesg and /var/log/messages output.
Do you want another test where I do hit some keys?
Ran experiments again, but this time hit some keys after insmod hid.o
but before capturing logs. Results are attached in 3.d and 3.m. Much to
my surprise, the keyboard then worked! I also did lsmod right after the boot
(when the keyboard was not working) and again after insmod. Results are
attached. The only obvious differences are that hid moved up to the top
of the list, and the line for "input" changed from "[keybdev hid]" to
"[hid keybdev]". I'll bet a line "below hid keybdev" in /etc/modules.conf
would make my problem go away!

Stellar job, Michael, but I am still in the dark.
I suspect a delay related to exessive printk's may have helped.
You can experiment with modure ordering on a stock system
by running rmmod/insmod. It it fixes the problem, it is
likely the ordering. If it does not, then it's the delay.
I added the line "below hid keybdev" to /etc/modules.conf and rebooted the
test system. hid loaded just above keybdev rather than just below it,
but the keyboard still did not work! rmmod hid; insmod hid started it working
again (and of course moved hid up to the very top of the module stack).
WORKAROUND: Removing and reloading the hid module right after booting seems
to get the keyboard working. For RedHat users, it's sufficient to add the
following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
# Reload hid driver to overcome bug with HP keyboard
/sbin/rmmod hid
/sbin/insmod hid
I'm using this with the stock 2.4.9-21 kernel and have had no problems so far.
Apparently, Vojtech receives reports of devices that
refuse to work with hid when it is loaded upon boot, but
work fine if hid is reloaded afterwards. He promises
to look at it at a future date. Suuure...

Hey Enchanted Ones!
The launch of my colouring book has been crazy town. Crazy busy town! Crazy fun town!
I hand drew 24 designs - mermaids, fairies, witches and lollies - and created a colouring book.
It's called "Colour Me In" and it's available in print (delivered to your door) or eBook form (which you print out yourself, and can start colouring right away).
The designs are quite intricate, so they are great for adults or kids.
I'm currently waiting on some more stock. My initial print run has completely sold out and I'm looking to get my next lot in the next couple of days.
In the meantime, all of my mailing list have been sent a FREE colouring page from the book. If you want to get your hands on one, simply enter your name and email here:

New York City is going to be adding new legislature to grant paid sick leave to those who have been victims of domestic violence. Under the new City Council proposal, victims will be able to take paid time off for things like domestic violence counseling and court appearances.
The de Blasio administration, along with City Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras-Copeland are putting together legislation that is going to add domestic violence on to paid sick leave laws that are already existing, which requires employers give their employees paid time off for family care or sick leave.
"Adding domestic violence protections will help victims — often women with kids — get themselves out of danger without fear of losing their job," Mayor de Blasio told the New York Daily News. "No woman should have to decide between her safety and her paycheck."
Kathryn Wylde, president of the Partnership for New York implied that most employers would agree that domestic violence is an understandable reason to use paid sick leave.
The legislation titled "Paid Safe" was just one of a couple of policies to combat domestic violence proposed by the administration.
De Blasio stated that it was "unacceptable" that the NYPD reports a domestic violence call every two minutes.
In addition, New York City's Family Justice Centers are going to be having housing lawyers on location to assist victims of domestic violence, and having the NYPD place a priority on arresting continuing abusers.

Huskies burst Beaver bubble with second-half onslaught
CORVALLIS — For Oregon State, the first half Saturday against Washington at Reser Stadium was encouraging, even invigorating.
The second half? Deflating.
Jake Browning threw for 293 yards and three touchdowns — all to Dante Pettis — as sixth-ranked Washington (5-0 overall, 2-0 in Pac-12 play) scored 35 points after intermission en route to a 42-7 win over the Beavers.
Defense kept Oregon State in it for a half, the Huskies taking only a 7-0 lead into the break.
Then the floodgates opened, and the Beavers (1-4, 0-2) were ill-equipped to handle the monsoon.
"We got some things going in the second half," Washington coach Chris Petersen said. "That's how it goes sometimes."
Oregon State had little going on the offensive side of the ball, but the defense rose to the occasion early.
"We had a good first half on defense," Oregon State coach Gary Andersen said. "We threw a lot at them. We had some changeups. We used everything we could possibly throw at them. The kids executed pretty well, and we were able to make some plays.
"In the second half, when we got in position to do that, we weren't able to make those plays."
The Huskies took the ball to start the third quarter and, benefitting from a pair of pass-interference calls, moved quickly into Oregon State territory.
On fourth-and-10 from the OSU 25, Petersen eschewed a field-goal try — kicker Tristan Vizcaino had missed a 42-yard attempt in the first half. Browning noticed OSU's defense loaded up for a blitz on one side, audibled to a run in the other direction, and Lavon Coleman scampered 20 yards to the 5.
"There was literally nobody (on defense) over there (on the right side)," UW's junior quarterback said.
On the next play, Browning found Pettis in the end zone for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead.
After an Oregon State three-and-out and a punt, Washington took only six plays to score again. On third-and-14 from the OSU 34, Pettis snared a pass from Browning and found the end zone to make it 21-0 with 8:51 left in the third quarter.
On its next possession, Oregon State moved into Washington territory, but Artavis Pierce fumbled after a reception and the Huskies recovered on their 45. On the second play of the series, Browning's pass was tipped and intercepted by OSU's David Morris, who returned it to the OSU 30. But the Beavers couldn't move and punted, and when Myles Gaskin got loose for 32 yards and a score, the game was out of hand.
"Coming out (the way the Beavers did in) the third quarter absolutely killed us on the defensive side of the ball," Andersen said. "We had some unfortunate penalties. (The Huskies) took over in the run game and got some throws down the field."
The Beavers have been within striking distance at halftime in each of their losses, but have been outscored 147-49 in the second half and 79-21 in the third quarter.
"That's an absolute,100-percent trend," Andersen conceded. "It's difficult to deal with."
So was Oregon State's ineffectiveness on offense.
The Beavers managed eight first downs, 74 yards passing and 184 yards total offense. And 74 of the yards were gained on their one scoring drive late in the game with Washington safely ahead 42-0.
"Didn't get a first down in the second half until (the Huskies) went to their backups," Andersen said. "You pretty much got no chance when that happens."
With quarterback Jake Luton out with a thoracic spinal fracture, Oregon State streamlined its offensive plan under Darell Garretson, opting for ball control and few vertical passes.
But tailback Ryan Nall found little running room, rushing nine times for 18 yards. Garretson completed 11 of 22 passes for only 74 yards, but had several on-target balls dropped by receivers.
"We were dysfunctional," Andersen said. "That's a really good defense, but you have to be able to get some first downs and put some points on the board. We could not run the ball at all."
Washington entered the game ranked 10th nationally in scoring defense (11.8 points per game and 17th in total defense (274.0 yards per game) and improved on both. The Huskies' front seven, in particular, is outstanding.
"They're as good as you'll face in college football," Andersen said. "They allowed no creases in the run game. It was a dominant performance by a very talented defense. I don't care if you have Larry Csonka in there tonight. I don't think he'd find any creases, either.
"We tried to get some zone read things going to the edges, but whatever we tried to do, they did a nice job of not making it work."
Said OSU center Sumner Houston: "That's probably the best defensive line we'll face this whole season. They did their job, and we just didn't do ours."
Washington ended up with 32 first downs and 509 yards total offense. The Huskies had a big advantage in first downs (14-3) and total yardage (194-65) but still led by only seven at intermission. Oregon State's defense covered well and put plenty of pressure on Browning, sacking him three times — 1 1/2 by linebacker Manase Hungalu.
OSU had only 29 yards rushing in the first half — 22 on one play by Pierce. Garretson completed 6 of 11 passes for 36 yards. The Beavers' best weapon was Nick Porebski, whose first two punts covered 57 and 58 yards and put the Huskies in poor field position.
The only touchdown of the half came in a 10-play, 98-yard drive on Washington's first possession. On third-and-seven from the OSU 11, Browning scrambled left and scored for a 7-0 advantage with 7:10 left in the first quarter.
Late in the second quarter, Washington took it from its 5-yard line to the Oregon State 17. But Hungalu sacked Browning on third down, and Vizcaino's 42-yard field-goal attempt bounced off the left upright.
"The first half, it felt like we made huge progress from the first few games," said Hungalu, who finished with a game-high 11 tackles. "We handled situations, whether it was the run or pass."
The second half, the bottom fell out, in part because the OSU offense could get nothing going.
"We just need to make sure everybody keeps their heads up and stays after it, no matter what happens with the offense," OSU linebacker Jonathan Willis said.
Garretson was asked to assess where the Beavers are as a team at this point in the season.
"We're playing hard," the senior QB said. "We're playing really hard. We have guys always in the (video) room, playing hard in practice, playing hard in the games.
"It's not like guys are easing up. We're fighting to the very last second. That's all we can ask for. We just have to keep executing, keep getting after it."
NOTES — Oregon State tight end Noah Togiai (ankle) did not play. Neither did receiver Isaiah Hodgins, though Andersen said he didn't know why in the post-game media session. "You'd have to ask (offensive coordinator) Kevin McGiven and our passing game coordinator, coach (Jason) Phillips," Andersen said. "I have no idea. I'm trying to do what I do. I can't function and handle every kid who goes in and out. To my knowledge, (Hodgins) was available. I didn't see him on the injury report." … Nall (ankle), Pierce (head), receiver Trevon Bradford (knee) and defensive end Paisa Savea (knee) all left the game and did not return, although initial reports were the injuries weren't serious. … Nall caught five passes for 44 yards. OSU wideouts totaled two receptions — Jordan Villamin and Trevon Bradford each had one for five yards. … After missing the previous two games with hamstring and hip injuries, Thomas Tyner saw extended duty, rushing nine times for 54 yards and scoring his first touchdown as a Beaver from 12 yards out. "It's good to get Thomas in a position to be healthy," Andersen said. "He was excited about having an opportunity."
OSU true freshman cornerback Isaiah Dunn saw his first action, making five solo tackles. He was also burned on a 34-yard reception by Pettis — who caught a career-high 12 passes for 105 yards — in the third quarter. Pettis came in with punt returns for touchdowns in three of the Huskies' four games, returned none Saturday as Porebski did a nice job punting the ball away from him. Porebski averaged 43.8 yards on eight punts and put three of them inside the 20. … Gaskin rushed for 92 of his 113 yards in the second half. … Browning's father, Ed, played quarterback at Oregon State for Dave Kragthorpe (1987, 1990) and Jerry Pettibone (1991). In 14 games, Browning completed 44 of 113 passes (38.8 percent) for four touchdowns with five interceptions.

Miami Central's football team held practice Monday afternoon. In a parking lot. In Las Vegas
Add that to the list of Hurricane Irma stories.
The high school team played Bishop Gorman High in Las Vegas last weekend, and hasn't been able to return to Miami because of the storm. So the team has stayed in Vegas, getting meals from local restaurants and even logistical help from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Central coach Roland Smith says "this is what makes America great. And I'm just thankful for Las Vegas, Nevada — the entire community — for taking care of us while we are stranded here."
Bishop Gorman officials say they are picking up Central's hotel tab.
Central running back James Cook says "it's a great feeling to be on the road, but we have family back home we want to get to."
The team is hoping to be able to travel home tomorrow.
The FIU and FAU football teams have also been displaced by the storm and unable to return to South Florida.

I don't think I'll ever get over the amazement of being asked to photograph a family year after year. This family in particular is pretty special to me. After photographing their engagement session, they asked me to photograph their wedding. At the time I was on the fence about weddings. I was still trying to determine if weddings were my specialty. I decided to go for it and I was there when they became husband and wife. It was a lovely wedding and I came to adore every member of their newly blended family. I was beyond excited to be there to photograph the arrival of their first son as I knew they both wanted children for as long as they could remember. Not long after that, I was asked to do an extended family session and was so thrilled to get to catch up with everyone! Then just a few weeks ago, I was asked to come and photography this sweet family as they welcomed their second son to the family! Over the course of 5 year, I've photographed so many amazing milestones for this family. It means the world to me to be able to capture these memories for them. Over the last 5 years, they've asked me to capture what I see. We don't pose every shot. We let life happen. I'm telling their story in photos. The photos that we've created are on almost every wall in their home and I know that they are cherished memories and I'm reminded why I picked up my camera in the first place.
Enjoy the next chapter......

Over the last two or three years, I've noticed a certain pattern emerge when it comes time to assemble this list.
The better the previous 12 months have been in and around the local music scene, the more difficult it will be to winnow down the mountain of worthwhile releases to just 10 selections.
(To wit: This year marks the first time in my tenure at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that I have ever had a tie for the top spot.)
Such is the case in 2015, a banner year for all of North Texas music and a year in which, quite frankly, a list such as this one only serves to scratch the surface of all that transpired.
While these 10 albums and EPs are a fine starting point, there is so much more to hear, whether it's hip-hop (Lord Byron, Smoothvega, Dru B Shinin', Justus and The Outfit, TX all released great work this year), pop (Jessie Frye, LEV and Pearl Earl shone brightly in '15), frayed punk (Sad Cops), dirty garage rock (Bad Blonde) or exquisite country (Andrew Combs; Matthew McNeal).
In other words, while these 10 recordings in particular stood out to me, all of them reveal to anyone who listens that it is a wonderful time to not only be making music in North Texas, but also to be listening to it.
1 (tie) Doug Burr, 'Pale White Dove'/Leon Bridges, 'Coming Home'
Some records grab you from the first note, and others come at you sideways, tugging on your sleeve until you take notice. Two of the best local albums I heard this year each made an impression in distinctly different ways.
For Denton troubadour Doug Burr, it was a record freed from the subdued folk meditations of his previous work. Make no mistake: Burr was plenty compelling in that mode, but there's an electricity to Pale White Dove that makes songs like Never Gonna Be Young Again crackle against the elegiac closer, The Last Confederate Widow — showcasing the full sweep of his songwriting powers in less than an hour.
Perhaps you've heard of Crowley-bred and Fort Worth-based Leon Bridges? The dishwasher turned Grammy nominee, in less than a year's time? There's no other way to describe Bridges' ascent from open-mike nights at Magnolia Motor Lounge to the stages of Saturday Night Live and the American Music Awards other than, simply, magical. The journey began in June, with the release of Coming Home, his confident, lo-fi debut. The record, bathed in an analog warmth, is a vivid homage to R&B, soul and gospel greats. While the singles — Better Man, the title track — turned heads, Bridges showed the way forward with River, the album's stirring, reverent closer.
3 Brent Best, 'Your Dog, Champ'
Sometimes, the wait is worth it. Singer-songwriter Brent Best's solo debut accrued over a period of five years — a turbulent time Best recounted in a shockingly candid blog post this summer — but every single second was worth it, as Your Dog, Champ is a record where that passage of time can be felt in every note. Best, who has gigged with area favorites Slobberbone and the Drams, has an evocative voice, streaked with whiskey, gravel and regret, and an even sharper pen. At its best, Champ functions like a sonic novel, placing the listener right inside these dust-stained stories.
4 Telegraph Canyon, 'You From Before'
Speaking of albums spawned from strife, Chris Johnson's life fell apart after the triumph of Telegraph Canyon's The Tide and the Current. But, with an unswerving focus on the music and the support of his bandmates, You From Before blossomed into being over the last six years, a bold reimagining of what constitutes the Telegraph Canyon sound. Those befuddled by the sinuous strut of Why Let It Go might find solace in Wheel to the Garden, but make no mistake: Telegraph Canyon, always a band capable of going anywhere, intends to do just that — and succeeds magnificently.
5 Maren Morris, self-titled
Leon Bridges isn't the only locally grown musician having a breakout year — Arlington's Maren Morris, long a fixture at weekly showcases in the area, decamped to Nashville two years ago to work in the songwriting trenches (her tunes have turned up on albums by Kelly Clarkson and Tim McGraw, among others). Now, the spotlight has been turned on her, thanks to this fantastic, self-titled, five-song EP that is, wonderfully, all over the musical map. There's nu-country on My Church, resting comfortably next to the merrily profane, sun-kissed Drunk Girls Don't Cry and the gleaming pop of 80's Mercedes — Morris' powerhouse pipes connect it all. Given how much heat Morris has generated since signing with Sony Music Nashville in September, it seems like 2016 might be an even bigger year for her.
6 Bobby Sessions, 'LOA (Law of Attraction)'
By now, it can feel like Groundhog Day talking about how much talent is percolating in the world of North Texas hip-hop. Given the surfeit of skill on hand, singling out an album or two from the plethora of projects released in the last 12 months is something of a fool's errand, but nevertheless: Dallas' Bobby Sessions made a profound statement with the release of his gripping debut, LOA (Law of Attraction). By turns politically charged and powerfully personal, LOA marks Sessions as a MC of substance, threading food for thought into raps so forcefully and imaginatively delivered as to nearly leave listeners dazed.
7 Anna Robyn Thomas, 'Symptoms'
I first stumbled across Denton singer Anna Robyn Thomas' debut, Symptoms, way back in March, and its precocious charms never really left me. (Thomas was all of 19 years old at the time of Symptoms' release.) While it's clear Thomas is a student of idiosyncratic pop in the mold of Regina Spektor or Fiona Apple, Symptoms makes a profound impression regardless, thanks to its intricately conceived alt-pop songs, delivered with the enthusiasm of someone who's waited her whole life to cut loose in the studio.
8 Jake Paleschic, 'Again, At Last'
Fort Worth is no stranger to troubadours knocked about by life, but, despite the occasional rough patch, who always seem to emerge bruised but carrying a song. One of the city's finest such tunesmiths, Jake Paleschic, left for Austin last year and, guided by Britton Beisenherz, created a striking document. Again, At Last echoes with the ghosts of Townes Van Zandt, Lyle Lovett and a half dozen other Texas troubadours — from the lonesome shuffle of the opening track, The Time, through to the contemplative finale, Insider, Paleschic distinguishes himself as one of the sharpest songwriters in the 817.
9 The Demigs, 'Welcome to Hard Times'
Despite a string of consistently fantastic albums and a justly deserved rep as a crackerjack live band, Denton's the Demigs, for whatever reason, remains frustratingly below the radar for a lot of local music fans (and, if I'm being honest, a lot of the local press, too). Maybe lead vocalist/chief songwriter Chris Demiglio's punchy, erudite dissections of suburban ennui are too much to take, especially when dished out in double-LP form, as he and the band did this year on the 20-track Welcome to Hard Times. If so, that's a shame, because the Demigs are one of the region's best bands, in any genre.
10 Margot Dunn, 'Drifter'
Margot Dunn is the nom de tune of Fort Worth singer-songwriter Lauren Hagood, and you'll want to memorize both names after hearing the gorgeous debut EP Drifter. Working with producer Britt Robisheaux (whose name on any local release is always a good indicator of quality), Hagood and her bandmates spin out five irresistible songs — good luck dislodging the shimmering More from your brain anytime soon — that will leave listeners aching for more as soon as the final notes of Redwood fade from the speakers.

In an important ruling on the Federal Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court today adopted a narrow view of the 1965 law and rejected arguments the Bush Administration had put forward on behalf of black elected officials in two Alabama counties.
The blacks won election to previously all-white county boards, only to find that some budgetary authority over roads that individual commissioners had historically exercised had been stripped from the offices. The reorganizations were supported by the white incumbents.
The Court ruled today that these reorganizations were not covered by the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits most southern states and some parts of northern states from adopting any new "practice or procedure with respect to voting" without first getting approval from the Attorney General or the Federal District Court. The Etowah and Russell County Commissions had not sought such prior approval and argued that the law did not require them to do so. First Rights Case for Thomas
Justice Clarence Thomas voted with the 6-to-3 majority in the first civil rights decision since he joined the Court.
Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy said, "The Voting Rights Act is not an all-purpose antidiscrimination statute."Continue reading the main story
The decision marked the first time that the Court, in more than 20 years of interpreting the Voting Rights Act, has rejected the Justice Department's view of the scope of the law's Section 5, which sets out the prior approval requirements.
The case presented the Court with an issue it had not addressed before. While the decision today did not overturn any of its numerous voting rights precedents, it marked a retreat for the Court from its often stated view that the Voting Rights Act "should be given the broadest possible scope."
The Bush Administration had argued that unless governmental reorganizations in the circumstances of this case were covered by Section 5, the purpose of the law would be defeated because a jurisdiction could "negate the election of a candidate favored by minority voters simply by reallocating the successful candidate's authority to other elected or appointed officials."
In rejecting this argument, Justice Kennedy said that an internal reorganization carried out by a democratically elected state or local government was not the kind of change "with respect to voting" to which Congress intended the law to apply. Congress did not use the phrase "with respect to governance," he noted.
He suggested that the law would threaten basic principles of federalism if its "intrusive mechanisms" could be used by the Federal Government to challenge choices made by state and local governments about internal government structure.
"If federalism is to operate as a practical system of governance and not a mere poetic ideal, the states must be allowed both predictability and efficiency in structuring their governments," Justice Kennedy said.
Justice Kennedy's opinion, Presley v. Etowah County Commission, No. 90-711, was joined by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and by Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, and David H. Souter in addition to Justice Thomas.
Justice John Paul Stevens filed a dissenting opinion that Justices Byron R. White and Harry A. Blackmun joined.
Justice Stevens said that the decision marked a retreat from the Court's previous commitment to giving Section 5 "the broadest possible scope." The Court first ruled on the law in its 1969 decision in Allen v. State Board of Elections, saying that even actions not prohibited or specified in the Voting Rights Act would be covered by the law, which it said "should be given the broadest possible scope." Since the, Justice Stevens said, the Court's continual concern had been that "recalcitrant white majorities could be expected to devise new strategems to maintain their political power" as blacks began to make effective use of their right to vote.
The facts of the case today bore out those concerns, Justice Stevens said. "This is a case in which a few pages of history are far more illuminating than volumes of logic," he said, noting that the reorganizations at issue were the "obvious response" to the election of the first black county commissioners since Reconstruction.
Justice Stevens said: "In my judgment, such a change in the reallocation of decision making authority in an elective office, at least in its most blatant form, is indistinguishable from, and just as unacceptable as, gerrymandering boundary lines or switching elections from a district to an at-large basis."
The Court has previously applied the Voting Rights Act to the types of actions Justice Stevens named, as well as to such actions as changing the dates of elections and the location of polling places. The Justice Department has long interpreted Section 5 as also applying to transfers of authority within an elected governmental agency, but the Supreme Court had not directly ruled on this question. A special three-judge Federal District Court in Montgomery had ruled that Section 5 did not apply in this case.
The case encompassed two lawsuits. In the Etowah County case, two newly elected black members of the six-member county commission had challenged a resolution adopted by the four white incumbents that stripped individual commissioners of their traditional authority to allocate the street repair budgets for their own districts. All the street repair money was put in a common fund, to be allocated by majority vote.
In the Russell County case, two newly elected black commissioners challenged the commission's abolition of individual road districts, and the transfer of that authority to an engineer who was appointed by majority vote of the commission.
Lani Guinier, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania who worked with the black plaintiffs on the case, said today that the opinion reflected "a very formal and shallow view of the right to vote."
She said that in passing the Voting Rights Act, Congress did not mean to protect "simply a symbolic opportunity to cast a ballot" but rather to ensure to black voters "an equal opportunity to influence the outcome of legislative debate." Professor Guinier said: "Majority rule was never thought to mean that a governing elite could keep 100 percent of the power for itself."Continue reading the main story

Raymond Loran "Ray" Floyd (born September 4, 1942) is an American professional golfer who has won numerous tournaments and four major titles on both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1989. Enjoy Raymond Floyd's best quotes below.
"They call it golf because all the other four letter words were taken."
"Golf is a game, and games are meant to be enjoyed."
"How can you get tired of playing golf?"
"I guess what was going to come back came back on Monday. Of course now I've played a different golf course. I've played two practice rounds and two tournament rounds all kind of the same and now today I've played a different golf course."
"As a kid in Fayetteville, N.C., I played golf all day, every day, a lot of it by myself. I spent hundreds of hours around the greens at Cape Fear Valley, the course my dad owned, hitting every shot I could think of – the one-hop-and-release, the chip that lands dead, the explosion from a bad lie."
"When you're the best, and you know you're the best, and your contemporaries know you're the best, that's a terrific edge."
"I'm used to the golf course playing soft, so tomorrow I'm going to have to pay attention a little bit more."
"I was from North Carolina, so as a youngster all of my mind games about golf were always, 'If I make this I win The Masters, if I hole this par putt I win The Masters.' So it was a great thrill to play there."
"Doug Ford was one of the first of the old pros I saw during my first full year on tour, in 1963. To this day he's the best chipper I've ever seen. One thing Doug did was get the ball onto the green and rolling right away, keeping it as low as possible. He never hit his chips higher than was absolutely necessary."
"Guys get voted into the Hall of Fame who don't belong, who lack the numbers. I'm very upset at the Hall of Fame for that. It's not fair to the people who went in early."
"It's going to you know, I can't go out there and shoot par and win. Everybody is playing well, and I think you'll have to go out tomorrow and have 4, 5, 6 under par probably."

Beyonce Hits the Studio with Diplo, Sleigh Bells?
If a recent blog post by indie producer/DJ Diplo is true, Beyoncé could be going for a much more experimental sound on her new album.
On Monday (Jan. 24), Diplo -- who is best known for his work with M.I.A. and as one-half of the duo Major Lazer (with longtime collaborator Switch) -- revealed that he, Beyoncé, and Derek of the indie electro-pop duo Sleigh Bells recently recorded music together in a New York studio.
"I like sleigh bells so much," Diplo wrote on the blog for his label imprint, Mad Decent. "Me and switch was in studio in nyc tryin to make tracks with derek and beyonce last week after we played her team their album...dunno if we gonna manage to finish but it was good times."
Sleigh Bells appeared to corroborate Diplo's post with a somewhat crytpic message their Twitter page: "yeah damn beyonce on it was intense track may not get finished (?) but we finished the rum off at least"
At press time, Beyoncé's rep did not respond to request for comment on the collaboration, and details on the star's follow-up to 2008's "I Am...Sasha Fierce" remain sparse. Other collaborators reportedly working on the set are Symbolic 1 (producer of Kanye West's "Power" single), Sean Garrett, and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart.

As the Carolina Panthers get ready for another shot at the Super Bowl title they've had a realistic chance at winning since (incredibly) their second year of existence, I think back to the role that a Johnston County football legend played in the Panthers' early success.
In case you weren't around then, or you're one of those bandwagon fans all those folks on Facebook seem to be trying to out for whatever reason (Folks, mind you, who had never mentioned the Panthers before November on their feeds.), the Panthers went 7-9 in their first season and were 12-4 and a division champ with two wins over the reigning Super Bowl champ 49ers in 1996.
Anchoring both of those teams' offensive lines at center was Smithfield-Selma grad Curtis Whiltey. Whitley, who succumbed to his addiction demons in 2008 at age 39, was one of the big free agent signings by Carolina general manager Bill Polian as the franchise got its start.
At the time, Whitley, a Clemson standout, had been released by the Chargers after a DUI accident. After a stay at the Betty Ford Clinic, Whitley answered all of the Panthers' questions about his issues. And then spent the 1995 season helping a Carolina offense — one without a true, proven running back — turn into the run-based, defense-focused unit that head coach Dom Capers wanted.
Whitley was the perfect fit for the expansion club.
"We were a gang of rag-tags," said fellow 1995 Panther lineman Matt Elliott in a 2004 interview. "Half of us were throwaways, and the other half were just trying to hang on a little longer."
Whitley was the rock amid a line of scrap heap free agents and rookie tackle Blake Brockemeyer. Truth be told, the former SSS star was probably one of the five most important and productive Panthers in that 1995 season. He started all 16 games.
It all worked better for Carolina than it had for any other first-year expansion club in the NFL, to the tune of seven wins and an immediately passionate fan base.
The Whitley family had one of its best weeks ever in mid-October of that first season. Curtis' daughter, Hannah Jane, was born two days before the Panthers' sixth game of the season. The Panthers broke their 0-5 streak to start the season with a historic 26-15 win. Carolina went onto win six of its final 10 games that season, all with the Smithfield farm boy starting at center.
The next season brought more addiction battles for Whitley, who was suspended for four games, but more success for the Panthers who advanced to the NFC Championship game.
Milhouse shines in NFLPA Collegiate Bowl: Garner grad Greg Milhouse was one of the highest graded players coming out of the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, according to Pro Football Focus. Milhouse, a defensive tackle from Campbell University, had two hurries and a batted down pass in the game, which featured some of the prospects for the 2016 NFL Draft.
Spartans come back home this week: Smithfield-Selma's basketball teams will play their first home games since Dec. 17 on Tuesday when the Spartans host Western Harnett. Lighting issues with new lights at the gym have forced changes in the SSS schedule since the start of 2016. SSS interim athletic director Lori Rose said that the new lights which were sent to the school were the wrong style and didn't light the gym enough.
New lights were ordered but they got held up in the snow/ice storm of last week and were just delivered on Tuesday.
