Erik Erlendsson is reporting the Lightning have made six more cuts: Ty Wishart, Riku Helenius, Paul Szczechura, Wyatt Smith, and Radek Smolenak.
Dana Tyrell was also returned to Prince George of the WHL.
That leaves Matt Smaby, Vladimir Mihalik, and Andrew Hutchinson battling for the seventh job on the blueline, presuming that Janne Niskala has already wrapped up the sixth spot, as it appears.

From a "Rothko" to a "Renoir," New Exhibit Features Fakes that Fooled the Art World
Artsy Editorial
1895; reworked by 1901
Image rights: The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Gift of George A. Hearn, 1910), licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal
Winslow Homer is one of the best known painters of American scenes of outdoor life. After an apprenticeship in lithography, Homer began his career as an illustrator for Harper's, drawing scenes of the Civil War battlefront. After the war, he traveled to Europe and then spent the summer of 1873 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he began to work in watercolor—what would eventually became his primary medium. Homer's outdoor genre scenes painted a varied picture of Americana, from scenes of wilderness guides, to rural African American life in the post-Civil War era, to children at play. In 1881, he spent almost two years on the English coast depicting simple scenes of the local communities. As his career evolved, Homer turned more and more to the sea, and a move to a secluded spot in coastal Maine prompted the eternal struggle between man and nature to become a prominent theme in his work.

text: Canada reach Olympic qualifying semis March 16, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next CSA & Whitecaps FC Canada's U-23 men's side are in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament after a stunning 5-0 victory over Guatemala U-23's on Sunday. In a remarkable final day of results at The Home Depot Center in Carson, California, Canada needed a win in their final Group B game to have any chance of reaching Thursday's semifinals in Nashville, Tennessee. After claiming an admirable 1-1 draw with Mexico in their first game, Canada's hopes looked bleak after a surprise 2-1 defeat to Haiti on Friday. Sunday's task looked even more daunting after Guatemala had looked most impressive in wins over Haiti and Mexico, but Dasovic's side put together a five-goal performance to finish second in the group, with a plus-four goal difference. Mexico's 5-1 win over nine-man Haiti in Sunday's second game meant both those sides would miss out on reaching the next round. "Not in my wildest imagination did I think we would win that big," Canada U-23 men's team head coach Nick Dasovic told CanadaSoccer.com. "The boys really over-exceeded expectations. The players did fantastic." With Guatamala already booking a place in the semifinals, the onus was on Canada to claim the required three points. Two goals each from Will Johnson and Tosaint Ricketts sent the Canadians on their way, with substitute Kyle Hall scoring a crucial fifth goal late in the match. The result was the first time that a Canadian men's team scored five goals in an international match since Canada's U-17 side beat Haiti 5-0 in the 2005 CONCACAF U-17 Tournament. Much of the first half saw few chances from both sides, but moments before halftime, Canada scored their eventual winner from a Johnson free kick. It was the second goal of the tournament for the midfielder, who returned to the line-up after serving a one-game ban against Haiti on Friday. Johnson then doubled Canada's advantage shortly after the restart when he converted Tyler Hemming's through ball past Guatemala goalkeeper Ricardo Jerez for 2-0. Both Johnson and Andrzej Ornoch had further chances minutes later, as Canada were in rampant form. They made it 3-0 on 57 minutes when Ricketts scored on the rebound after captain Andre Hainault struck the post with a header from a corner. Canadian goalkeeper Joshua Wagenaar then needed to make two important saves to keep his clean sheet, while Jerez denied Johnson the chance of a hat-trick with a save of his own. The Canadians ended any hopes of a Guatemalan comeback when Ricketts scored his second goal on the counter-attack with 10 minutes remaining. The decisive fifth goal then came in injury time, as an unmarked Hall placed a first-time finish past Jerez for a 5-0 result. Hall's goal proved vital to Dasovic's squad, as Mexico were not able to match Canada's goal difference with their win over Haiti, having missed out by a single goal. "I think I died eight times," Dasovic said of watching the Mexico-Haiti game. "It was like something out of a movie. We're through, though, we're going to Tennessee." Canada will now meet North American rivals USA in one of two semifinals at LP Field in Nashville on Thursday, while Group B winners Guatemala face an all-Central American clash with Honduras in the other semi in Tennessee. The winners of both those games will not only reach next Sunday's tournament final, but also book their place in the Men's Olympic Football Tournament in Beijing, China, later this year.

Caringo greases up CAStor product, slips out VM versions
File access to objects
Object storage startup Caringo has introduced virtual machine editions of its CAStor object storage product along with standard file protocol access to CAStor, broaching the question whether object storage will just become file storage under another name.
Both CAStor and Caringo's Content File Server (CFS) come as virtual machines (VMs) that run on any Windows server under VMware ESX and VMware Player and on Macs via VMware Fusion. The CFS VM can also run on Oracle VirtualBox (Windows or Mac). The idea is that potential customers can try out the Caringo products as the VMs can be downloaded with a free 2TB licence.
The supported file protocols are CIFS, NFS, FTP, and WebDAV. Recently Scality has announced file access to its object storage Ring. It might become the case that object storage becomes another and different way of storing files, taking advantage of the technology's scalability. ®

Canada is pulling ahead of the U.S. in a contest to be the first exporter of liquefied natural gas from the North American shale bonanza to Asia's $150 billion LNG market.
An LNG terminal being built at a cove north of Vancouver financed by a Houston private-equity firm is scheduled to begin shipping the fuel across the Pacific Ocean in mid-2015, eight months before the first continental U.S. plant is slated to start. Canada's government has approved twice as much LNG export capacity as its southerly neighbor, evincing a friendlier attitude toward selling domestic gas to the highest bidder and positioning the nation as the go-to source of gas in North America for overseas buyers.
International energy giants from Exxon Mobil Corp. to Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional Bhd are considering terminal projects in western Canada to supply Asian utilities and factories that are paying more than four times the price of U.S. markets. Chevron Corp. said it's focusing all of its North American LNG efforts north of the U.S. border because of the more favorable regulatory climate and closer proximity to Asia, making exports more profitable for producers.
"The smart money is going to Canada" to export LNG, said Michelle Foss, chief energy economist at the Center for Energy Economics at the University of Texas' Bureau of Economic Geology. "They don't have any objections to exporting gas and it's closer to Asia, which cuts down on shipping costs."
Project Risks
Taking gas from the vast fields dotting Alberta and British Columbia and super-chilling it to a liquid for ocean-going tankers has price risks. LNG terminals can cost tens of billions of dollars to construct and take decades to pay returns. That can make a facility obsolete should internal North American demand and prices escalate to where domestic sales become more profitable than exports, Foss said.
In addition, Canadian LNG developers counting on the tradition of basing sales on world oil prices could be undercut by Louisiana and Texas-based producers planning to link contracts to lower-cost Gulf Coast gas markets, said Dale Nijoka, global oil and gas leader at Ernst & Young LLP.
Three gas export projects have received permission to ship LNG from Canada's Pacific Coast to destinations such as Japan and China, compared to just one in the U.S., on the Gulf Coast, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. In the U.S., policymakers and industry leaders are divided over how tightly to control gas exports for fear of driving up domestic prices for the power-plant and furnace fuel.

TROY, N.Y. - The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) defense intercepted three passes and registered four sacks to lead the Engineers to a 24-6 win over Alfred University in a non-league football game at East Campus Stadium. The game was the season opener for both teams.
After Alfred scored on its opening possession, the Engineers did not allow anymore points on its way to allowing the fewest points it has allowed since October 10, 2010, when that team shutout the University of Rochester. It was the fewest points allowed at ECAV Stadium since the opening game of the facility, September 12, 2009 - a 28-0 win.
Senior linebacker Matthew Day (Claremont, NH/Stevens) led RPI with eight tackles, while classmate Joe Tedder (Stamford, CT/St. Luke's School) had six solo stops. Three different players had interceptions, including sophomore Nick Borkowski (Fort Salonga, NY/Kings Park), who picked off a pass at the 4-yard line and returned it 80 yards with RPI ahead 14-6. Six players had a hand in a sack with sophomore Wade Hansen (Troy, NY/Tamarac) recording two for a loss of eight yards.
Offensively, senior quarterback Mike Hermann (Hardeeville, SC/Avon Old Farms) compiled 277 yards of offense. He rushed for 80 yards and completed 17 of 26 passes for 213 yards with two touchdowns. His primary target was junior Reggie Colas (Miami, FL/Belen Jesuit), who had six receptions for 90 yards - both game-highs - and a touchdown.
For Alfred, which managed just 233 yards of total offense, junior Zach Sopak (Falconer, NY/Southwestern) connected on 13 of 28 passes for 122 yards with the three interceptions. Senior Tyler DeRosa (Miller Place, NY/Miller Place) led the Saxons on the ground with 75 yards on 12 carries, while Josh Phillips (Syracuse, NY/West Genesee) had a team-high four receptions for 32 yards.
The Saxons were led defensively by three players who reached double digits in tackles. Senior linebacker Reggie Pressley (Rochester, NY/Gates-Chili) had 13 stops, while down linemen Chris Steeves (Rochester, NY/Gates-Chili) and Mike Raplee (Dundee, NY/Dundee) had 12 and 11, respectively.
Alfred was the first to get on the scoreboard when freshman Justin Mallory (Fort Edward, NY/Hudson Falls) scampered in from 13 yards out on the visitor's first series. RPI took the lead later in the first quarter when junior Andrew Armato (Staten Island, NY/St. Joseph by the Sea) took a pitch from Hermann at the 5-yard line to complete an 11-yard run.
Hermann then connected with classmate Nick Weber (Winchester, MA/Winchester) for a 25-yard pass down the left sideline with just 56 left in the first half for a 14-6 edge.
Neither team scored in the third quarter, though both teams threatened. The Saxons drove to the RPI 13-yard line and on a first-and-10 play, Sopak was intercepted by Borkowski in the left flat and the defensive back raced down the sideline. He was tackled at the Alfred 16-yard line and it was from there that sophomore Andrew Franks (Carmel, CA/Carmel) hit a 33-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter for a 17-6 lead.
The Engineers, who finished with 331 of total offense, put the game away when Hermann and Colas connected on a flea-flicker from 49 yards for a 24-6 lead. Hermann released the pass just before two defenders reached him and Colas out-jumped a defender and ran into the end zone.
RPI is back in action on Saturday at 1pm at Castleton, while Alfred is at St. Lawrence next Saturday at 1pm.

One of Derby Hospitals' top consultants is travelling more than 120km on foot to raise money for rheumatology causes.
Dr Chris Deighton will walk 100km and run 21km more to increase funds and profiles for two organisations supporting sufferers of inflammatory arthritis.
Dr Deighton, who is a rheumatology consultant at Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will be walking 100k from London to Brighton on 24 and 25 May to raise money for the National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society which help those suffering from the chronic form of arthritis which affects younger people.
He will then compete in the Great North Run on 7 September for the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS).
Dr Deighton, who is also the outgoing president of the British Society for Rheumatology said: "Inflammatory arthritis does not get the publicity it deserves.
"My aim is to raise it up the NHS agenda and improve access to the resources that are needed to provide high quality multidisciplinary services.
"This is my chance to increase the profile of the disease and raise some money for two excellent organisations like NASS and NRAS, who do fantastic work in supporting patients and raising awareness of these conditions.
"My fundraising efforts show how passionately I care about these issues and how I am willing to punish my own body mercilessly for two great causes."

What are the black connectors called like used on the Arduino board,
I was thinking of just having multiple small (or large) breadboards that bring all their pin and power leads to a single pin-header, then I can simply connect and disconnect a board without too much stress.
What's connected at the circled area near A1? Is that for a resonator?
Did you make it easy to connect something like an FTDI Basic for easy downloading? Or does one just connect to the appropriate pins once plugged in the breadboard using flying leads off the USB/RS232 adapter?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hundreds of Andy Warhol artworks earned more than $17 million at a Christie's single-artist sale, the first in a series to raise money for the artist's foundation, the auction house said on Tuesday.
Warhol's "Endangered Species: San Francisco Silverspot" was the top earning item at $1.25 million in Monday's sale of more than 354 works, which drew bidders from China, Russia, Europe and the United States.
Proceeds from the auction will go to help The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts expand its activities.
"Warhol's enduring appeal was underscored by a 91 percent sell-through rate by lot, with photographs and prints performing exceedingly well," Amy Cappellazzo, chairman, Post-War & Contemporary Development at Christie's, said in a statement.
"Endangered Species-Bighorn Ram," sold for $842,500.
"Jackie," a red screen print and paper collage from 1960 of Jacqueline Kennedy, fetched $626,500. Kennedy, a supporter of the arts, was the wife of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963.
The Warhol foundation announced in September that it would sell 20,000 Warhol works through Christie's, including silk screen paintings, photos and drawings by auction and online.
Warhol, who died in 1987, was prolific. The highest price paid for a Warhol was $100 million for "Eight Elvises" in a private sale, according to Art Market Monitor.
Many of the items in Monday's auction sold beyond their pre-sale estimate including "Self-Portrait in Fright Wig," which brought in $50,000, more than double the anticipated price.
"This first sale has proved to be a fitting marker for the Foundation's 25th anniversary year," said its president Joel Wachs.

Costs rise at Kemper plant, says Miss. Power
Costs rise at Kemper plant, says Miss. Power
GULFPORT, Miss. —
Mississippi Power Company says customers won't have to pay more to cover the plant's cost, which has risen from $2.88 billion to about $3.42 billion.
Ed Day, president and CEO of Mississippi Power, says in a news release Tuesday that workers are making progress on the facility.
However, Day says Mississippi Power has had additional expenses including labor costs, piping and other material costs, engineering and support costs and productivity decreases.
Day says Mississippi Power will keep its promise made in a settlement agreement with the Mississippi Public Service Commission to limit the total rate base for the plant to $2.4 billion.
The PSC approved a 15 percent rate increase in March, to be followed by a 3 percent rate increase in 2014.

Time to Show My Face and Take the Stigma Away
Maria T. Mejia
I am a Colombian female who lives in Miami, Florida. I've been positive for 20 years. Although almost all my life I've been in long-term relationships with HIV-negative men, I am happily married to a woman who is wonderful and caring. We have been together almost three years and she is HIV negative. I have no children but we will look into having! I am an activist, a peer educator, a caregiver. I volunteered for the Red Cross in education for the Hispanic HIV community and also the American community. I was a pre- and post-test counselor. I have spoken in many conferences and done a lot of outreach in the community, especially in the schools for prevention and education. It is part of my everyday life to educate everyone I can on this subject. Being HIV positive is nothing to be ashamed about! We are strong women, and we will take away all the stigmas slowly but we have to open up.

Toyota's major midcycle revamp aims to keep Camry on top
|Mid-sized sedan sales this year through February
|Nissan Altima
|Toyota Camry
|Honda Accord
|Ford Fusion
|Source: Automotive News Data Center
LOS ANGELES -- It has been the best-selling car in the United States for 12 years, but the Toyota Camry is losing ground in the industry's escalating mid-sized sedan wars. Now Toyota will break with tradition by extensively revamping the car just three years after it was redesigned.
Far from the usual midcycle nip-and-tuck, the 2015 Camry that debuts April 16 at the New York auto show will come with major changes to sheet metal and suspension tuning, Toyota sources say. The car goes on sale in the fall.
The midcycle revamp is an apparent response to consumers' indifferent reaction to the bland 2012 redesign and Toyota's subsequent need to crank up incentives. Camry sales were flat in 2013, just keeping pace with the overall segment, and the car's 2014 sales through February fell 17 percent, compared with an 11 percent drop for the segment.
April 16 will be an intriguing day at the New York show. A fully redesigned Hyundai Sonata -- the car that symbolizes the Camry's stronger mid-sized competition -- also will debut.
Toyota isn't talking about the changes to the Camry, but sources say that the 2015 version's exterior panels will have "bold changes" and that the suspension will be retuned for sportier handling. The interior will gain some improved materials, and as is typical, the trim levels will see improved standard content and features.
The changes also will incorporate the 20141/2 model's updated safety structure, which improved the Camry's performance in the small-overlap front crash test.
Ho-hum entry
Midcycle freshenings typically involve minor trim and content modifications or items that engineers or designers wanted on the original vehicle but didn't get to before launch. Increasingly, however, automakers are making midcycle updates more pronounced, with major changes in powertrains, crash structures, packaging and interior offerings.
When Honda goofed with its underwhelming 2012 Civic redesign, it quickly followed with the 2013 model with a new interior and front crash structure.
The 2014 Civic that came last fall had its own major-minor change, by swapping out the traditional geared automatic transmission for a continuously variable transmission -- an engineering change normally reserved for full redesigns.
In that context, the Camry's last redesign came across as barely noticeable. The front and rear fascias were only slightly changed, and the door cuts were almost identical to those of the outgoing model. The dimensions were the same, and the powertrains were basically carryovers, although the interior was updated.
The flashy styling of the current Sonata and later of the 2013 Ford Fusion made the Camry look obsolete on the showroom floor.
Since the redesigned Camry was launched in October 2011, the car's incentives have risen above the average for the mid-sized sedan segment -- this from an automaker that has prided itself on having some of the lowest incentives in the industry. But the Camry incentives didn't help lackluster sales.
Shrinking lead
Although the Camry has remained the nation's top-selling car, the margin of victory has narrowed in recent years and the number of close rivals has grown. In some months competitors have outsold the Camry.
Through February, the Nissan Altima was the top seller, although one large multibrand dealer said that was the result of big sales to daily rental fleets, which will subside as the year progresses.
Another worrying trend for Toyota could be slipping owner loyalty. For the first full year after the Camry's redesign, the percentage of prior Camry owners who bought another Camry stayed level, at 30 percent, according to AutoPacific data. But in 2013 the figure dropped to 24 percent -- likely a result of the arrival of the redesigned Altima and Ford Fusion.
"Buyers became increasingly aware that you didn't have to buy a Camry to get faultless reliability and strong resale," said Ed Kim, AutoPacific vice president of industry analysis. "An increasing number of alternatives offered more engaging styling and more modern technology."

Is Sasuke right in seeking revenge against Konoha or not?

Is Sasuke in the right? No, of course not. But from a purely personal and emotional perspective, I can understand his side.

No. He's lumped in his former friends and teammates (not to mention the countless innocent civilians) in with what were the evils of a select few. Sasuke has gone from what was once justifiable revenge into full-blown psychotic obsession.

Sasuke's revenge isn't justifiable, but not irrational either. The elders decided to kill those who were weak and innocent amongst the Uchiha, not just the ones responsible for the planned rebellion. Since the elders killed all Uchiha indiscriminately, the only equivalent revenge is to kill all konoha equally indiscriminately. An eye for an eye, is what Sasuke wants. Just as the Elders took everything from him, so he wishes to destroy everything they wanted to protect.
It might not be fair on those innocent people simply living their lives, but that's the fate the elders carved out for them with their act of genocide. To think they would get away with such a crime is what is irrational. Sasuke is entirely the consequence to their deeds.
Sasuke is wrong, at least on a moral level, and he may have been driven mad, but the revenge itself isn't irrational.

Sasuke's revenge is unjustified simply on the grounds that there really isn't any (moral) reason to accept him taking out the entire village, but it's rational because it's easy to see why he'd want just that. That's the difference here; justifying Sasuke's mindset isn't the same as justifying his goal, which I think is what Casshern was getting at.

The 'threaten' part comes in only years later after the Massacre and after Itachi had joined the Akatsuki. Itachi sensed that something was wrong and intentionally made a appearence in Konoha with Kisame on the cover that he was here to kidnap Naruto for the Akatsuki. He wanted the Elders to know that he was still around to keep an eye on Sasuke and warned them that should they try anything he'd expose the secret of the Uchiha Massacre. Remember the fight between Kisame/Itachi VS Kakashi/Gai/Kurenai/Asuma ? It may have appeared as though Itachi had came for Naruto at that time but it was later proven that that wasn't his true intentions for appearing in Konoha. Think about it rationally , Itachi could easily kidnap Naruto with his skills. He didn't have to do it with Jiraiya around. He was there for Sasuke , and was on the pretense of attempting to kidnap Naruto on the Akatsuki's orders as a sound excuse for appearing. I think Danzo mentioned something about it before his death of Itachi's intentions.
Sly itachi is sly :P
Back on Topic -
When talking about justifying against seeking revenge on Konoha i apply Kyrie Ushiromiya's Flip The Chessboard mentality.
So if i were Sasuke i'd follow in his way and 'attempt' to destroy the fuckin village who killed his clan in his opinion. To him Konoha are but a bunch of pretentious peeps who only prospered with the downfall of his clan. Added to the fact that Tobi is always beside him giving him ideas.
It may sound funny , but did anyone watch the movie The Dark Knight [Batman]?
The Joker = Tobi
Harvey Dent = Sasuke
All he needs is a little push. In his eyes since the village is only where it is today by the destruction of the Uchiha Clan he wants the village dead to equal the loss his people faced. The 4 people who came to the decision : Sarutobi , Danzo & the 2 Elders. Sarutobi already died. Danzo was killed by Sasuke. That leaves the 2 Elders. Maybe i got it wrong , but when asked by Hebi and Tobi in a random conversation somewhere in the Anime [i forgot which episode ..] Sasuke said his aim was to kill the 2 village elders after Danzo had died. Tobi den went on to say that if he were to aim for the 2 village elders the underlings aka Konoha would protect the 2 elders. So Sasuke went on to say he will kill everyone who stands in his way.
I'd say those 2 Elders deserve to die if we follow Sasuke's point of view. Even Chiyo had pointed out moments before her death that the old generation of Shinobi and Elders were but a bunch of war-headed fools who were wrong to have thread on the paths they took. The Elders are actually much like Danzo in the sense they prioritize the Leaf before everything else.
Still , rationally speaking killing a ENTIRE village because of a decision made by a bunch of 4 old people is plain crazy. I like how someone above mentioned that Sasuke isn't justified to go after people like Kurenai's unborn son. They shouldn't have to pay for what another had done. Thats actually the same thing Sasuke feels about himself. What makes the Leaf justified to go after the Uchiha Clan just because they are too strong? The Uchiha clan also had young kids and all. But they were deemed too dangerous and got killed.
Its a completely one-sided thing.
On one hand Sasuke in his POV isn't wrong.
However , Humanely speaking thats just insane.
Spoiler for Spoiler from Manga:
So i guess what i'm saying is logically speaking Sasuke is wrong for his warped ideas to destroy Konoha. But i don't wrong him for his decisions personally.

If Sasuke's logic was sound, he wouldn't be entitled to revenge because everyone would seek retribution against him because of the mistakes as an Uchiha. If the wrongs of a few allow you to punish the majority, the people of Konoha should have been able to justify killing the Uchiha clan because of the crimes of Madara, an Uchiha. Sasuke's just a hypocritical narcissist.

If what Tobi said to Sasuke were true [50/50 , assuming he did speak the truth in some of his words] , the Real Madara only fought the 1st because he knew the Uchiha Clan were being slowly casted aside by the village and he wanted them to get back the power they rightfully deserved. Afterall , the Senju & Uchiha were equal.
The only thing he did wrong was killing members of his own clan to get his eyes. But that isn't something people of Konoha should bother themselves about. After which he shortly died there-after.
Spoiler for Manga Spoiler , advise not to read if you have yet to read the manga :

The Elders need to pay for their sins.
Obviously the innocent people of Konoha who know nothing about the truth of the Uchiha massacre do not deserve Sasuke's hatred. They aren't responsible.
Eventually Sasuke will probably find out about Tobi's hand in all of this.
Tobi after all used the Kyuubi to attack the village.

"Friends, we must remember that experiences like these show what people are truly made of. I don't know about you, but at the moment, I am made of incandescent fury."--Onion excerpt, but might as well be a fortune cookie.
Boys who say one thing, then do another. Or *someone* other....And Casino, as eloquent and insightful as your comment was, unfortunately I don't think penis enlargement would be much help in this situation.
True, true. A waitress-friend of mine who was gang-raped exacted her revenge in part by pouring corn syrup (?) into the gas tank to wreck this one guy's new car... (The other part being a merciless beat-down courtesy of her guy friends)....Of course my situation is far from that level, but I'll do what I can, pre Revenge-degree.

Madison County held an impromptu post-game pep rally on the field Friday, with band music, dancing, laughter, hugs, high fives and victory howls.
Only moments earlier, such a scene hardly seemed possible. The Red Raiders were down by two touchdowns late. And Rockdale County appeared poised to hand Madison County a tough home loss.
But the Red Raiders fought back from a 21-7 fourth quarter deficit to down the visiting Bulldogs from Conyers 22-21 in dramatic fashion.
With just five seconds on the clock and Madison County facing fourth and 11 at Rockdale's 18, Alex Jordan eluded pass rushers and lofted a pass to Trae Burton for the game-winning score. The Madison County sidelines and stands went wild. Joey Sandres then put the game-winning extra point after through the uprights to secure the win.
Xavier Duncan (#21), Andrew Lindsey (#11) and Bryson Barton (#34) celebrate after Madison County's game-winning touchdown Friday night against Rockdale County.

It seems drama always seems to follow Snooki wherever she goes. The latest is now that the break out star of Jersey Shore was involved in a bar fight over the weekend and got a drink thrown at her.
According to RadarOnline, the newly single MTV reality star, 22, was doing shots with her co-star Jenni "JWOWW" Farley, 23, at Ocean's 10 bar in Miami this past Saturday when a man approached her.
"She was in a good mood, but this particular guy was obviously interested and she wasn't," said a witness to Radar. "She told him, 'Don't f— with me' so he snatched her drink and walked off."
"I guess he provoked her by wanting an apology and she flipped out," the witness continued. Snooki then reached for food on her table and threw it at the guy before slapping him on his shoulder and his face, and tossing a plastic cup at him.
In response, the unidentified man reached for his own drink and drenched Snooki, much to her anger. Security ended up throwing him out.
The Jersey Shore cast continues to film its second season in Miami. It is set to debut July 29th on MTV.

I know you are all waiting to get going for Ashley's Scavenger Hunt Sunday. This is the second week I've blanked. What you see is what you get I guess.
Do you see the goofballs acting like bookends? Yes, they are mine. In fact, they will be 26 this year. Oh my!My mom always calls them Pete and Repete.
Trend or Trending
I don't pay a lot of attention to what's trending. I watch the news but it's mainly news, not entertainment. That means I knew about this but it seems like my usual news people want to talk about her. I don't intend to sound mean, but she died because she chose to mix things she shouldn't. I know, I know. Don't blast me. I'm just being honest.
What words are for. Outside of school I'm reading, (when I can), The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
Ah, Legos, the best friend of every mom and grandma out there who wants to keep a 2 year old occupied.

NEW YORK (AP) — The director of programming at the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York is stepping down less than a year after being named to the position.
Lincoln Center made the announcement Monday, saying Robert Koehler is leaving the Film Society to return to Los Angeles to focus on personal matters. Film journalist and critic Dennis Lim has been named as his replacement.
As year-round director of programming, Lim shares programming duties with Kent Jones, who programs the Film Society's annual New York Film Festival. Before Jones and Koehler's dual appointment last fall, Richard Pena oversaw all programming for the previous 25 years.
Lim was film editor for The Village Voice from 2000 to 2006. He also served on the New York Film Festival selection committee from 2009 to 2011.

I don't know what's up with my thing for raspberries lately. It's almost Thanksgiving and I'm still using a summer berry. I try to buy seasonal and local produce whenever I can and I'll admit that occasional cravings will override my good intentions. Raspberries should be out of season, but the container says they're from California. Even so, I felt slightly guilty for buying them. Just because they can grow them during the off season doesn't mean that they'll actually taste good. This was definitely the case with these raspberries. They looked good but they turned out to be bland. So instead of tossing them into the compost bin, I used them in these quick and easy cream cheese muffins. Right before adding them to my muffin batter I sprinkled a bit of sugar over my raspberries to add a bit of sweetness. I normally use a dollop of fruit preserves to top the muffins, but any fresh or frozen fruit will work just as well.
On a separate note, I want to apologize for my lack of posting lately. I haven't really been baking much during the last couple weeks. I spent most of this weekend preparing for Thanksgiving. Deciding on the menu, cleaning the house, washing the platters, serving bowls, and fancy glasses. I've done most of my grocery shopping and I just need to pickup the turkey and some sourdough bread for stuffing. I made a gigantic vat of turkey stock, a "scarborough fair" herb shallot butter for my turkey and a chunky cranberry sauce. The cheeses have been grated for the spinach gratin and I also made enough pie dough for my pecan tart and pumpkin pie. I still haven't decided if I'm going to make a third dessert. I'll see how I'm feeling later in the week. I still have a lot of chopping, slicing, brining, cooking and baking until T-day so I'll leave you now with a wish for a wonderful Thanksgiving! Have a happy and healthy one!
Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins
(adapted from Better Homes and Garden Nov 1997)
(makes 24)
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened at room temp
4 ounces (8tbsp/1 stick) unsalted butter, softened at room temp
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp finely grated orange zest
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup milk
10 ounces raspberries
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter 24 (approximately 3.5 fluid ounce capacity) muffin wells (or use paper cupcake liners).
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, sugar and zest until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat 1 minute.
On low speed, add half of flour mixture and mix just until incorporated. Mix in milk and then add remaining flour. Mix until just combined.
Divide batter among prepared muffin wells. Place 3 or 4 raspberries on top of each. (If your raspberries are not sweet enough, toss them with a bit of sugar before using.)
Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes. Cool. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

The Birmingham-Southern men's and women's tennis teams have called the Ann Dielen Tennis Complex home since the facility was completed, along with the adjacent BSC Softball Park, in the spring of 2001. Originally called the BSC Tennis Complex, the facility was renamed in 2014 for long time tennis coach Ann Dielen. The 12 championship courts feature a deluxe hard-court surface with each court provided with lighting for night play. When not used by the BSC Tennis Program, the courts are open for use by faculty, staff and students at Birmingham-Southern.
Because of the complex's design with the BSC Softball Park, the tennis programs have access to a full-service press facility, complete with high-speed Internet access and multiple phone line and other technology amenities, which makes it a perfect host site for fall, in- or post-season tournaments. The lower level of the press facility also contains storage space for both the men's and women's tennis squads, as well as a concession stand and restroom/locker room facilities.
The Ann Dielen Tennis Complex was completed at a cost of over $2 million and serves has home to both BSC varsity programs, as well as high school and other tennis competitions.
The Ann Dielen Tennis Complex, however, is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of facilities available to the Panther players for training, fitness and development. The Panther Stadium Weight Room and Bill Battle Coliseum Weight Room both have state of the art free weights available for student-athletes and teams.
Visitors to the Hilltop have access to full-service locker room facilities in the nearby BSC Sports Center. These facilities feature separate locker rooms for both men's and women's teams, individual locker space for each player and full shower and dressing areas.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Sophomore Kathryn Pilpil hit her first home run of the season with two outs at the bottom of the second inning to help lead UC Santa Barbara (5-10) to a 1-0 victory over UNLV (6-6) early Saturday morning at Campus Diamond.
Freshman Shelby Wisdom (3-4), meanwhile, tossed her first collegiate shutout. She pitched a complete game and allowed just four hits – all singles – and one walk while striking out eight.
UNLV left six base runners stranded during the loss while the Gauchos left three on.
Rebel pitcher Amanda Oliveto (4-4) pitched a complete game allowing just four hits while fanning three.
Jessica Soria, Lauren Boser and Brooke Putich each tallied a base hit in the game. Soria has extended her hitting streak to five games while Pilpil has had at least one hit in all four games at the Gaucho Classic I.
The win marks the Gauchos' fourth straight. They are now 4-0 within the friendly confines of Campus Diamond this season.
The shutout is the Gauchos' first since its 2011 season-ending 2-0 win at UC Davis (May 14). The last time UCSB won a game by way of a 1-0 score was on Feb. 12, 2011 against Western Kentucky.
UCSB will conclude action at the Gaucho Classic I with two games on Sunday against Nevada at 9:30 am and San Diego at 2:30 pm.
Live Stats and a broadcast by KCSB 91.9 FM for both games will be available by clicking here.

No, in case you're wondering, his home isn't filled with old sports mementoes. There aren't any photos of him with star players adorning the walls. But you will see the occasional sign of Toronto's sports legacy: a Leafsthemed Russian nesting doll tucked on to a shelf of the den, for instance (a gift, purchased at a European flea market, of all places). If you come at the right time (game time), you don't even have to look as hard as that. He'll be flying a Leafs or Raptors flag on the pole outside his back doors.
Richard Peddie, 64, may be retiring this year from his 14year job as president and CEO of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment - the company behind the Toronto Maple Leafs, Raptors and FC - but that doesn't mean he is leaving Toronto. It does mean he'll spend more time at the weekend home he had built with wife Colleen on Bob-Lo Island, on the Detroit River, 25 minutes outside Windsor.
It's the timeless tale of a hometown hero returning to his roots. Except when he was growing up in Windsor, Mr. Peddie knew Bob-Lo for what it was back then: an amusement park, with classic rides, candy floss and boat cruises down the river. All a four-minute ferry ride from the small town of Amherstburg. "I went to the amusement park as a kid, I brought dates here," he remembers.
While it was Ms. Peddie who originally suggested buying property on Bob-Lo, after seeing the amusement parkturned-residential community for the first time, he was game from the beginning. "We subscribe to Architectural Digest, and we joke we'd better quit subscribing, because we keep building houses. Colleen and I have been married five years and we've had five homes."
This time around, they had a definite idea of what they wanted. The island's developer, Boblo Developments, insists all residents build to architectural guidelines, requiring a Cape Cod style or some variation of it. If they were going to do Cape Cod, the Peddies decided, they'd do it authentically, avoiding any frills and instead, keeping to a simple, white Hardy Board and stone exterior, with clapboard shutters, a shingled gabled roof and a huge back porch overlooking the river, where the couple likes to watch the freighters travel by.
As nature enthusiasts, the property was also important. They ended up purchasing three separate bordering lots. It gave them the chance to build a pool, put up the totem pole they'd bought as a wedding gift to each other, and take advantage of a three-acre pond, watching as it has filled with frogs and the occasional turtle. The added space meant they could install a geothermal system as well, which heats the pool and hot water, and powers the air conditioning. "When you own more than one house, your footprint starts to get a little obscene, so we're pretty conscious of what we're doing environmentally," Ms. Peddie says. "Because we had the land, we could run the pipes. It's 3,000 linear feet of pipes - it takes up some space."
Like any hometown heros should be, the Peddies were cognizant not only of their environmental impact but their economic one, too - trying whenever possible to source materials and trades from nearby Windsor, a way of giving back to the community. The exterior design itself was from local architect Lino Montemurri. But for the interiors, and a few tweaks outside, they called in Toronto design firm Powell & Bonnell. They knew the firm well; they had worked with them before, on both their former Lake Shore condo and current Yorkville townhouse. "We weren't sure if we wanted to use Toronto designers, given the distance, but . we just love working with them," Mr. Peddie says.
The exterior may be pure Cape Cod, but the inside of the home is eclectic. "We use a free mix of styles, which we feel is more appropriate to today's way of living," designer Fenwick Bonnell says.
The home's understated interiors do take cues from its Cape Cod exterior, with painted beadboard ceilings, white oak plank floors (stained grey and wire brushed for texture) and a mix of furniture styles. Even the muted colour palette would feel at home in Cape Cod, with its creams, light aquas and touches of buttercup yellow. But the art (the Peddies describe themselves as amateur art collectors) is pure Canadiana, from the likes of Emily Carr, the Group of Seven, Charles Pachter and Tiko Kerr. There are even a few furniture pieces from the Peddies' former weekend home, a farmhouse in Mulmur - most notably the dining table, which was built by a tradesman near their old house.
With Powell & Bonnell's help setting the tone, the Peddies have made the home their own. The den, where they'll curl up to watch a game with the fire blazing, is stacked with books, family photos and knick-knacks, and the design's easy-to-care-for durability takes into consideration the couple's two rambunctious black Giant Schnauzers, Ma-tisse and Vimy. The guest bedrooms upstairs are designed to suit the Peddies' particular interests; there's even one themed after the War of 1812, with a Canadian-centric style. Another has a brass bed Mr. Peddie purchased after university - it cost $150 and he bought it on a payment plan. "Some of this stuff I've had for 40 years," he says.
But when you ask the couple what their favourite part of the house is, it's not the bedrooms or the openconcept kitchen and living room. It's not any paraphernalia Mr. Peddie has picked up from his time with the Leafs and Raptors, either (although you can find that in both the Peddies' workplace offices). Now that Mr. Peddie is retiring and he starts to spend more time on Bob-Lo, it's the back porch he'll likely gravitate to most. When asked, the Peddies admit it's their favourite thing about the house, and you'll find them there often: sometimes entertaining, but often just watching the birds fly by. This is, after all, a home designed for leisure. While he may not be ready to give up work completely (he plans to take on some writing and consulting projects after retiring), Mr. Peddie isn't ruling out leisure. Island life - even if the island is on the Detroit River, a four-minute ferry ride from the mainland - is perfect for that. "We have a motto," Mr. Peddie says: "Never run for the ferry."

Each year attracts the biggest beer festival in Bavaria, about 6 million visitors from around the world, e. g. from China, Japan, Australia, America, Canada, Italy, France, etc. in the state capital Munich.
Opened is always on Saturday after September 15, the end of the festival is traditionally the first Sunday in October.
In honor of the silver wedding of King Ludwig I of Bavaria and Princess Therese, a costume parade was held in 1835 for the first time. 1895 organized the regional writer Maximilian Schmidt another move with 1400 participants in 150 costume groups. Since 1950 this is held annually and is now one of the highlights of Oktoberfest and one of the largest parades of its kind. On the first Wiesn Sunday draw 8000 participants in its historical festive costumes from the Maximilianeum on a seven-kilometer route to the festival grounds.
This move also led by the Münchner Kindl, follow him notables of the city council and the city administration and the State of Bavaria, most of the Prime Minister and his wife, costume and shooting clubs, bands, marching bands, colorful flag throwers and about 40 carriages with festively decorated horse-drawn carriages. The clubs and groups come mostly from Bavaria, but also from other German states, from Austria, from Switzerland, from northern Italy and from other European countries.
For the Oktoberfest, the Munich breweries brew a special beer, which must have an original gravity of at least 13.5% and contains about 5.8 to 6.4 percent alcohol by volume.
Time and traditionally 2nd Oktoberfest weekend conquering the Italians the marquees at the Theresienwiese.
Due to the good transport links via the A92 and B20 from the Theresienwiese Munich is 94405 Rottersdorf bei Landau a. d. Isar in about 130 kilometers respectively 90 minutes. In country inn hotel "Vilstaler Hof" you can stay quiet and far "awarded" the city in the heart of Lower Bavaria.

Parents, speak out
I'm writing in behalf of all mothers and fathers with children. As many of you understand budget cuts will affect our children now and in the future. What so many don't understand is the children are our future. I and many parents are in the middle of crisis right now and education is being affected. Last week Head Start Parents joined me in the fight to try to protect our low income special education facilities. We acted and wrote letters to our Congress and beyond. I hope I do speak for many parents to continue to fight for our next generation.

Resort 'intrusion'
Hood River County Commissioners' consideration of the Cooper Spur expansion shows how easily our system is manipulated. A destination resort at Cooper Spur is an intrusion into one of the last wild sections of the mountain, thereby stressing an already badgered wildlife population.
Easier access to the mountain means only one thing; more human intrusions into an area that would otherwise require more planning, forethought, physical fortitude and spiritual respect.
Encouraging humans to use these areas also sends another message that the Hood River County Commissioners cannot help but to realize; Hood River is inadequate to attract the sort of clientele that purporters of this plan wish to attract. By considering it, they condemn Hood River to second class status.
Oregon is full of recreational activities and lodging opportunities; what is missing is respect for the reverence that prior Oregonians have had for the wild places in our state and pride in our special way of doing things.
Hood River County Commissioners need to remember global warming and resist the urge to contribute, and think of the consequences of putting a white elephant on our mountain. Purporters of this plan need to be reminded that although past history suggests it, in no way does the Constitution guarantee them a profit.

I am a life-long resident of this valley. I have seen lots of changes over the years, some good, some bad. One of the bad changes I have seen is the way the Hood River News seems to be losing its compassion for the people of this valley. Why has it become necessary for "sensationalism" in our little paper. That is something you would expect in a big city, but not Hood River. I am speaking most recently of the Garcia family. It was most distressing to me to see a picture of the grieving family just after their loss. Even if they did consent to the picture, why would you even ASK permission to take it? This is beyond me. I whole-heartedly agree with Barbara Ritoch, letters to the editor Feb. 19, when she said the story could have been presented equally well without pictures.

No back-biting
As I watch the anti-war protesters on TV and Fridays at our post office, I am sad to see so many cowards willing to show themselves in public and in print. I am also reminded of how those of us who served felt upon our return home from the military during the Vietnam era. Shame on all of you.
Perhaps some of you may recall 9/11? Our country is at a greater risk today than ever before. This is a time for a "call to action," not whining and back-biting.
No one who thinks rationally wants war; however, "both" sides must want peace to make it all work. Yes, civilians as well as soldiers are injured and die, but sometimes it comes down to "them or us." Surrender if you must, but I for one have no intention of wearing a cloth on my head nor do I care which direction Mecca may be from here.
All of you protesters can philosophize about war/peace, etc., but when it is all said and done will there be "Peace on Earth" until Jesus returns to make it happen? In the meantime you folks better hope that men and women like me who understand that "Freedom is Not Free" will still be there to put it all on the line so you will still be able to march around with your little signs and write letters to the editor.

Cardinal can cost
Mr. Maddox's letter regarding the "coming" of Cardinal Glass Company to the former Hanel Lumber location in Odell (Feb. 19) brought to mind several items of interest.
While all would certainly agree that the siting of new industrial and/or manufacturing businesses in Hood River county is something that is surely needed in order to generate new "family wage" jobs and produce an increased flow of capital, I wonder what price is necessary for the citizens of the county to pay to bring this to the county.
In an earlier article in your paper, it was noted that it would be necessary for the County to approve a land use or zoning variance in order to bring sanitary sewer service to the site — and also that Cardinal Glass was insisting that it would be necessary for the County to create an "Enterprise Zone" before they would bring their operation to the Odell site. Is it not true that at the present time, the Odell Sanitary District treatment facility is operating at full capacity? If this is so, then who will pay for the needed expansion of the treatment plant in order to add the Cardinal Glass operation to the district?
In addition, the "cost" to the County and its citizens to create an "Enterprise Zone" means that Cardinal Glass will not pay any property taxes for a minimum of three years, and possibly for five years. Is this really the "modest" tax advantage to which Mr. Maddox refers?
If Cardinal Glass is willing to bear the cost of the expansion of the Odell Sewer Treatment facility and can assure us that after the "sweetheart" deal of no taxes for five years passes they continue to stay in Odell and become good tax-paying members of the county business community, then I say, bring them on! But without these assurances, I say to all citizens of the county — beware!

War is overdue
I do not like violence or bloodshed. I do not think anyone likes the idea of war; war is scary and ugly. But, I do not believe that U.S. citizens or any other persons in this world should have to live in fear of terrorist, unstable leaders like Saddam or bin Laden.
I was raised on the belief being an American meant freedom. Our freedom has been jeopardized and these terrorist leaders are trying to take it away. I believe we need to stand united and strong, just as the many soldiers and veterans who have fought or died for our freedom and independence. U.S. citizens need to support the friends and family members that are being deployed to protect our rights and freedom.
The people who rally for peace and anti-war protest do not realize there will never be peace with leaders like Saddam and bin Ladin running free. These terrorists stole a piece of all American citizens on 9/11. They not only took innocent lives without remorse or concern, but they took from us peace of mind, some of our rights, and some of our freedom. They have made us prisoners of fear, of future attacks and the unknown terror they are capable of inflicting upon us and our children and loved ones.
There can never be peace in the world until the bullies on the playground are stood up to and put in their place. There can never be peace or security in our lives until these terrorists realize they cannot get away with destroying others and are brought to justice.
It is not a time to hide, but a time to stand tall, proud, and strong and to take a stand. It is time to take our freedom back. I will not be a prisoner in my own free country. I will not live in fear to go into Portland, to a shopping mall, fly across the country to see relatives, or attend a large community activity. I will not hide in darkness in my home behind plastic and duct tape with a false sense of security. I want to look out my windows, breathe fresh air, and not live in fear to live my life.
I support a war which is overdue to put these terrorist punks in their place and show that the United States will not stand down to threats. We will not live in fear. We will not hide or let them take control of our lives. I am proud to be an American and live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Re: Feb. 15 Hood River News, page A4
H.R.V.H.S. Earth Club — "Tip of the Week"
Hey kids! When you're in the middle of the forest, you can't focus on the real picture — which tree is of greater value.
You pointed to the water "tree" when your concerns should be concentrating on the "by-products/side effects" of your excessive use of the gas and oil products; spilling onto the roads and polluting our air.
Solution: Park your car and ride the bus to school!
And take a shower, too.

Clear Crystal
The people of Hood River Valley need our leaders to protect and preserve our water supplies. Now. If people don't have clean drinking water they are deprived of a vital necessity. No amount of economic development can make up for such a deprivation.
Crystal Springs Water District supplies Pine Grove and Wy'east Middle schools. It supplies another 5,000-plus people. Mt. Hood Meadows Inc. is attempting to obtain approval to develop lands in the Cooper Spur area. Most of these lands are within the Crystal Springs Zone of Contribution.
Geologists characterize as highly permeable the volcanic materials that underlie most of the lands Mt. Hood Meadows Inc. wants to develop. Highly permeable means any contaminant — from petroleum to fertilizers, pesticides to bacteria and nitrates from septic tanks and drain fields — will readily percolate down through this material. They will contaminate Crystal Springs water. Certainly, the contamination of this vital aquifer will not happen overnight. But, just as certainly, it will happen if new development is permitted.
A perfect example of what would happen to the Crystal Springs aquifer lies across the river in Washington. The community of Carson sits atop volcanic material that is nearly identical to that which underlies most of the Crystal Springs Zone of Contribution. Bacteria from drain fields and septic tanks have contaminated the aquifer underlying Carson community. A well drilled into that aquifer in 1986 was, and continues to be, unusable.
Dealing with a contaminated aquifer, e.g. testing water, treating contaminated water or even developing a new source are extremely expensive propositions for the people dependent on Crystal Springs water. The long term service jobs and business tax income the Mt. Hood Meadows development could create are just not enough to balance out the costs that the people of the Hood River Valley will have to bear when their water supply becomes contaminated.
I urge our leaders to show foresight and consideration for the people of the Hood River Valley. Please, promote the conservation and preservation of Crystal Springs for perpetuity. Do not permit any new development within the Crystal Springs Zone of Contribution.

The excitement among the alumni of J.J. Jones High School, which closed its doors in 1966, was evident even before the ribbon was cut on an exhibit featuring the school at the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History.
The exhibit was unveiled Saturday at noon during this weekend's bi-annual reunion, which draws Jones alumni from across the country.
The display features notable moments in the school's history, including notes about how students devoted their time and effort to build a gymnasium for the school — the only black school in the county during its time. It also features items donated by school alumni, including displays about music, arts and sports, but it also doesn't shy away from the region's history, with a prominent display on the Jim Crow laws of the era.
Jones served black students locally from 1936 to 1966, when it ceased to exist due to integration.
And while the spirit of family is evident in the sense of community among former students and graduates, Saturday's unveiling was especially important to Mount Airy resident Linwood Jones, who would have graduated from the school in 1968, and attended until its doors closed in 1966.
Jones is the grandson of John J. Jones, the school's founder and principal for 16 years, and the son of Leonidas H. Jones, its second longest-serving principal.
"It's really hard to put into words," Linwood Jones said quietly when talking about what the exhibit means to him. "The exhibit shows the struggle my father and grandfather went through for our education, but everyone in the Surry County community helped make this a reality.
"For me to see this in here is like bringing back my grandfather and father for the education of our community."
Jones' grandfather, J.J. Jones, who was born a slave in Rockingham County, died when his son — and Jones' father — was just 13.
"His dream was to come back home and see this high school become a reality," he said quietly. "My family placed a high value on education, and this would be very special to them both."
Edwards said the display was long deserved, and sprang from a close relationship the museum has with the Jones Alumni Association.
"This is something that has long been on our minds and in our plans," he said. "The stories coming out of the Jones school era are really remarkable. They tell a story about our local history that a lot of people aren't aware of. This is a way for us to showcase a little bit of that story for the larger community.
"During the 30 years it was in operation as a segregated school, remarkable things happened there. Like many small town high schools, it really engendered that sense of community and identity, and you can see it today through their very active alumni association."
And as the group cut the ribbon on the exhibit a tapestry on display said it all.
"We have crossed the bay, the future lies ahead."

2009-10 Conference Primers: #28 – Ivy LeaguePosted by rtmsf on October 8th, 2009
Dave Zeitlin is the RTC correspondent for the Ivy League and a featured columnist. Click here for all of our 2009-10 Season Preview materials..
Predicted Order of Finish (with projected records in parentheses):
- Cornell (14-0)
- Princeton (9-5)
- Penn (8-6)
- Columbia (7-7)
- Harvard (7-7)
- Yale (6-8)
- Brown (3-11)
- Dartmouth (2-12)
All-Conference Team:
- Louis Dale (G), Sr., Cornell
- Jeremy Lin (G), Sr. Harvard
- Ryan Wittman (F), Sr., Cornell
- Matt Mullery (F), Sr., Brown
- Jeff Foote (C), Sr., Cornell
6th Man. Tyler Bernardini (G), Jr., Penn
Impact Newcomer. Brian Grimes (F), Jr., Columbia
What You Need to Know. Fueled by three star seniors (Louis Dale, Ryan Wittman and Jeff Foote), the reigning Ivy League rookie of the year (Chris Wrobleski), and two major transfers (Mark Coury from Kentucky and Max Groebe from UMass), Cornell is coming into the 2009-10 season as the heavy favorite to capture its third straight conference crown — and perhaps win a game or two in the NCAA tournament. Head coach Steve Donahue's squad is so deep and talented (they also boast a pair of experienced seniors in Geoff Reeves and Alex Tyler), their toughest challenge may be finding significant minutes for all their heavy hitters. Penn and Princeton, the powerhouses that owned the Ivy League for two decades until Cornell rose to the top, are both trying to return to their glory days but might have to wait a year to make a serious run at the crown. Princeton should improve on its 8-6 league mark with the continued development of point guard Doug Davis, who averaged 12.3 points per game as a rookie last season, and the addition of Ian Hummer, who may be the best freshman in the league. This is an important year for rebuilding Penn, which clears out some mediocre seniors and hands the keys of the team to junior guard Tyler Benardini and sophomore point guard Zack Rosen, the last two Big 5 rookies of the year. Columbia has some nice incoming talent with Brian Grimes, who sat out last season with an ACL tear after transferring in from La Salle, and Loyola Marymount import Max Craig, who is 7 feet tall and not a stiff. Harvard coach Tommy Amaker has one of the best players in the league in Jeremy Lin and a couple of good recent recruiting classes, but the Crimson are coming off a 6-8 conference season. Yale has been a consistent threat under longtime coach James Jones, finishing above .500 for nine straight seasons. The Bulldogs will need to put a lot of the burden on senior guard Alex Zampier (13.2 ppg) to keep that streak alive. Matt Mullery shot a ridiculous 60 percent for Brown last year, but the Bears will be hard-pressed to significantly improve their 3-11 league record. And finally, after an impressive 7-7 Ivy season by its standards, Dartmouth should tumble back down the league standings with the loss of Alex Barnett and his 19.4 points per game.
