Authorities held a press conference Sunday afternoon releasing more information into the search and recovery of a 10-year-old Tyler girl who went missing Nov. 1 from a Bullard church.
According to authorities, a lead in the investigation into Kayla Gomez-Orozco's disappearance surfaced Saturday, which led to the discovery of her body in a well on a property in the 23000 block of Farm-to-Market Road 2493 in Smith County.
A search warrant was obtained, and the body was recovered after midnight. Smith County Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Mitch Shamburger has ordered the body taken to the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences in Dallas for an autopsy.
A family member who lived at the house was questioned in Kayla's disappearance and death, and is currently in the Smith County Jail on a Federal Immigration Customs detainer. According to Sheriff Larry Smith, additional charges are anticipated.
"We assure you there will be no stone unturned as we enter the next phase of this investigation," Sheriff Smith said during Sunday's press conference. "We will utilize all available assets at the local, state and federal level of law enforcement to see that justice is swift and thorough for Kayla and her family.
The Tyler independent School District released the following statement Sunday afternoon:
We are saddened to learn that the body of Kayla Gomez-Orozco, the Jack Elementary school student who has been missing since Tuesday, Nov. 1, has been found. Our hearts and sympathies go out to Kayla's family and friends as they come to terms with this painful and
senseless tragedy. We ask that you keep the students and staff at Jack Elementary School in your thoughts and prayers. Additional counselors from throughout the District will be at the Jack campus next week to provide assistance and support as needed for staff and students.

Gelati a la Waldorf- Apple, Celery and Mayo(EVOO) Gelati with Candied Walnuts
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I had a few thoughts as a wink to the salad dish, but chose this because gelati- rich with egg yolks and dairy, is conceptually the opposite of celery as we were raised with it (celery sticks, dieting.)
I wanted to stay pure to the tradition so I just added mild spice and herb accents to each flavor: thyme to the Apple, star anise to the Celery, lemon to the Mayonnaise(EVOO with egg and lemon, yes?!)
The solid ingredients all appear in the dessert as well. Walnuts and celery are candied and apple chips separate the gelati, presented in a tower form.
While this is somewhat the decadent version of the 'healthy' salad, it is still more light and refreshing than many desserts!
Serves 8
Prepare the three gelati flavors
- Apple Gelato:
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/8 cup lemon juice
- 3 cups granny smith apples, peel on, cut into 1/2-1" chunks (seeds and cores discarded)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, rubbed between fingers
- 12 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Celery Gelato:
- 14 ounces peeled celery and leaves,cut into 2" pieces(light green stalks often don't need peeling)
- water
- 1 1/3 cups celery juice from above celery
- 5 star anise, pulled apart
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons corn syrup*
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1-3 tablespoons green tea powder(1 Tablespoon for color; 2-3 Tablespoons for stronger green tea flavor)
- EVOO Gelato:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest (microplane is best)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons corn syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup fruity extra virgin olive oil (not grassy or bitter)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- Apple Gelato: In a small pot, boil the water and add the sugar , stirring til melted. Add the corn syrup, lemon juice and apples, simmer for about 25 minutes until soft and mushy. Remove from heat, cool a while, puree in mini processor and push through fine strainer. Mix cream and milk in saucepan, bring to boil and add corn syrup, stirring til melted.Remove from heat. Whisk yolks with some of the hot cream mixture. Add back into saucepan and cook over low heat stirring bottom constantly with flat edged wooden paddle until custard thickens to 170°F( and custard coats back of spoon so that when you run your finger across it, it leaves an open trail). Or- cook over a low simmering water bath stirring constantly so eggs don't curdle.
- Immediately strain through fine sieve. Add corn syrup, apple purée and vanilla. Transfer to lidded container and press saran down on top of custard to prevent skin from forming. Let cool,store in coldest part of refrigerator (lower rear corner) for 1- 2 days. Churn in ice cream machine. Store in freezer in tightly lidded container.
- Celery Gelato: Put celery in a small pot and add water just until the celery is covered. Bring to boil and simmer 35-40 minutes until celery is soft. Puree in a mini processor. Strain(push and scrape) through a fine mesh strainer and set aside. You should have about 1? c celery juice. Whisk together cream, milk, sugar,star anise and salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.Simmer a few minutes. Cover and let sit, 1/2-1 hour, to develop the desired star anise flavor, mild or strong. Remove star anise and add celery juice. Meanwhile, whisk yolks very well while adding the hot cream mixture. Add all back into saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with flat bottomed wooden paddle,until thickened (170°F). Do not let the mixture curdle. Immediately remove from heat and strain through fine sieve. Add corn syrup. Whisk in green tea powder. (If you want to highlight the celery flavor, but add a little green color, add 1 Tablespoon; if you want a stronger green tea flavor, add 2-3 Tablespooons.)Cover with saran, refrigerate, churn and freeze per above. ? ?
- EVOO Gelato: adapted from Ashley Viegas In mini processor, grind sugar with lemon zest until wet and mushy. Bring water to boil, add this lemon sugar and stir to dissolve, and simmer 5 minutes.Bring to low boil for 5 minutes.Remove from heat and cool mixture.Beat the eggs and yolks and slowly drizzle in extra virgin olive oil. Whisk in the lemon sugar , salt and milk. Cover with saran, refrigerate, churn and freeze per above.
- * I use a bit of Corn syrup in gelati to make it softer. Corn syrup is sweeter than sugar, so when you substitute corn syrup for sugar, use 3/4 as much.
Prepare the Apple Chips and Candied Walnuts; Assemble
- 4 crisp hard red skinned apples, skin-on, sliced into thin rounds and dipped in lemon juice to keep from browning
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 star anise, broken up
- 2 cups sugar syrup from apple chips
- 1 cup walnut halves
- 2 lemons' lemon juice
- 1 cup celery shavings(taken after tough stringy outer layer has been peeled)
- 4 2-3" high wispy celery sprigs with leaves
- Bring water to boil, add sugar and stir to dissolve. Add star anise and apple slices, turn down heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes. Turn off and let rest in syrup a few hours. (This will make shiny slices that never get crisp.) Alternately, add sliced lemon coated apples to cooled syrup for 3-4 hours.(This will make crisp but not shiny chips.) For either type, place apple slices on a silpat lined sheet pan or a non-stick spray- coated sheet pan. Bake at 200 degrees F a few hours til crisp. Remove from oven and cool. They will crisp further out of the oven as they cool.
- Boil leftover apple syrup .Drop in walnuts on one side of the pot and celery shavings on the other. Dunk all to cover with syrup. Turn off heat and let sit a few hours, uncovered. Remove from syrup and dry at least 4 hours- til shiny, walnuts spaced apart and celery shavings in a mound.
- Assemble: Place a flat apple chip just below the center of a plate that has been chilled in the freezer. Top the back half of the chip with a scoop of apple gelato. Place an apple chip, tilted forward, behind and leaning on the apple gelato. Place a scoop of celery gelato behind the apple chip, with a scoop of Mayonnaise gelato behind that, ending with a last apple chip, tilted forward, leaning on the gelato. Place a small sprig of celery with leaves at the top and bottom of the plate. Place a mound of candied celery shavings next to the gelati and scatter candied walnuts around the plate.
- Note: Egg whites last forever in the freezer, in a tightly covered container. Just defrost them on the counter long enough to cut into them, then cut out and measure the amount you need for a recipe, let defrost further to use; and refreeze remaining egg whites.

Wheat Futures and Sugar Futures Analysis
Investors: See Actual Historical Performance Data and Information on Our TOP 3 Commodity Trading Advisors (click here for free data)
Consumer confidence rose in November to the highest level in more than four years as indicated by this morning's data release, but US stocks are still down on the day (at this writing), with the SP emini futures down .2% and the nasdaq emini futures down .2% as well. Even with somewhat positive news (on the surface) that there was a compromise reached on Greece after a 12 hour meeting of European officials, the market still looks concerned that the fiscal cliff will cause harm to the economy. We believe that until there is a firm positive conclusion on the fiscal cliff situation, the stock market will not rally to new yearly highs. But, if and when there is some positive resolution, it could be 'off to the races' for the US stock market.
Crude oil has been in a relatively low volatility environment since its sell-off in October. We keep hearing about lower global demand concerns coupled with a supply glut in the US, but crude has still not hit our next downside target of $82. Crude is down around .66% this morning trading at $87.16. As we have noted, $92 is our key pivot level for this market. If crude can stay below this level, we believe it will head towards $82.
We believe that wheat futures look to be building a bullish tone. Fundamentally, the drought story persists causing wheat buyers to have bid up the price recently. We have written on the chart that we see a potential "bull flag" in wheat futures, and would not be surprised to see wheat head towards new yearly highs over the next couple of months. We see key support at $8.60 and buyers have recently been active below this level. An estimated 33 percent of the crop was rated good or excellent as of the latest report, down from 34 percent last week and 52 percent a year earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said recently in a report. About 26 percent was in poor or very poor condition, compared with 13 percent a year earlier.
We see an interesting scenario developing in the sugar futures market. Since June 2012, the $19 level has served as a solid support. Sugar tried multiple times, but has not been able to hold below $19. We believe that sugar looks like it could break below $19 this time and head lower. The next major support level on a weekly chart is $15, but this would certainly be a big move if it got there. However, we hold to our opinion that sugar looks bearish. Brazil's center-south region, the world's largest producer of sugar, churned out 1.74 million tonnes in the first two weeks of November, up 37 percent from the same fortnight last year.

We're very pleased to be living in San Francisco these days. Not only does the recent California Supreme Court ruling allow same-sex marriages (which begins on June 17), but The California Field Poll shows that the majority of voters support it (52%) - so a ballot measure to revoke the ruling, slated for November, is unlikely to pass.
Over the years, we've created wedding and commitment ceremony invitations for many same-sex couples, and these experiences have been among our most rewarding. In these weddings, the exchange of vows is much more than the usual (though still remarkable) declaration of the couple's lifelong commitment; in many cases, it is the first formal, public recognition of the couple by friends, family, and society at large -- a "coming out" celebration, if you will! -- as well as the affirmation of a basic civil and human right (marriage, and love, respectively).
So thanks, Gavin, Arnold, the Supreme Court, and fellow Californians! We look forward to celebrating with you on June 17!
P.S. Our London office is happy for us, but non-plussed. Civil partnerships have been legal there since 2005 and were supported by many Conservatives as a matter of individual civil liberties! Shown above: one of our civil partnership invitation designs.

I love him with all I have and I wanna help him but My words just make it worse what do I do?
RomanceClass.com Advice
Most importantly, do not ignore his suicidal tendencies. If his parents havent' done anything yet then you must call 1-800-SUICIDE and get them in the process.
Since your boyfriend is in such emotional turmoil, you can't do much to make him think differently. But, keep trying to assure him that you love him alone and that you are faithful to him. Tell him you are doing this on purpose to make him feel better. Otherwise he might suspect your motives.
Finally, enourage him to seek professional counseling.
Good luck!

There is no getting away from it, advertising plays a huge part in all our lives - whether we like it or not.
But do we really understand how it works?
In an effort to explain why we need to advertise, Worksop Guardian's Lisa Williams and Caroline Eden visited six local schools in an effort to educate some of the pupils.
"Learning all about the media is so important nowadays that it is part of the curriculum," said display manager Lisa.
"So we thought the the best way to educate local pupils was to go into school with a hands on presentations."
The schools involved in the project were Langold Dyscarr, St Augustines Primary School, St Johns CofE Primary, Norbridge Academy, Ryton Park Primary and Ramsden Primary.
"This involved newspapers, TV, Radio and the internet among others," said Lisa.
"And we explained to them why we need to advertise, why our television programmes are interrupted and why there are bill boards and slogans."

ANDY AWFORD played down the impact of his formation switch and promised: It's about the players.
The Blues boss believes it's his men and not the systems they play which will define where Pompey are going this season.
Awford's change to wing-backs has been lauded in the wake of Pompey's Capital One Cup victory over Peterborough on Tuesday.
He has to decide whether to continue with that approach or return to his often-practiced 4-2-3-1 set-up against Cambridge today.
That formation was a hallmark of the Blues' run to League Two safety last season.
Awford knows it's the quality of his players which count, though – as proved when he was Academy boss.
He said: 'It's players over systems, all day long. We have to have a structure, but it's about the players.
'We did it once with the youth team about three years ago. We picked the players, didn't tell them how to play and just sent them out there.
'We put the names up, but didn't tell them where to play. They were all looking at each other. They won 4-1!
'We didn't give them any set-pieces at all, we just told them to go play football.
'I don't know if I'm brave enough to do it at first-team level, though!
'But don't tell me it's about systems.
'The other night, if our players hadn't been able to execute it, we would have had to change things back. But, thankfully, they did it superbly.
'They've done it in training a few times, but it was fine and they executed it superbly.
'I let them get on with it. It's about players doing it.
'You have to give a structure and explain the reasons why, but it gives us another option.
'We can show them, walk them through it on a DVD and do it in training. But they have to do it on game day – and they did fantastically well on Tuesday.'
Awford acknowledged having the flexibility to change formations is a useful weapon in his team's arsenal.
That was seen as Peterborough were caught off guard by the change in approach at Fratton Park.
Awford said: 'If you have it in the locker it's great.
'We played so well in the first half the other night. I think it maybe caught them on the hop.
'When I get another team's sheet and there's a curve ball, it takes five or 10 minutes to sort it out.
'Maybe it did that with them and we were certainly worthy of the win.
'I looked at the players last season. If a diamond had suited us I would have gone that way.
'On the Thursday night before Newport County, I looked at what suits which player. I felt 4-2-3-1 was the best way of getting points – and it worked, thankfully.
'There were little tinkers but the other night was the first major change.
'It's about players. You don't want your best players on the touchline, so you play what suits them.'

Owls XI to visit Frickley Athletic
Wednesday will take a team to play Evo-Stik Premier League club Frickley Athletic in a pre-season friendly this summer.
The match has been penned in for Saturday, July 20 (kick-off 3pm) at Westfield Lane, South Elmsall - the home of the non-league Blues.
Frickley's fixture list notes a 'Wednesday XI' will visit, hinting that it will not be a first-choice side sent by Dave Jones to face Athletic, more likely a side of youth and senior players in need of match action.
Athletic recently won the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup at Hillsborough, beating Sheffield FC 4-3 in the final earlier this month.

wow yea i know what you mean! ive done the same thing too.
| SarahJaneDrkAngl05 chapter 4 . 7/27/2006
yea your right they do have a right just like every other person in america. thats why its called america bc its a free country and i think people are forgetting this. people are different and should have the right to do as they want, not have someone tell them what they have to do. just bc theyre different doesnt mean theyre trash and deserve to be treated like they are. they have rights too and need to be respected. i mean its not like some ppl havnt tried new things b4. and yea mayb being straight isnt normal and being homosexual is normal? who knows.
| SarahJaneDrkAngl05 chapter 3 . 7/27/2006
yea i agree with the license thing. just tuesday the lady i babysitt for was telling me they did the same thing with her and it took at least 5 years or more for her to get her license with her married name on it. i think thats bs if you ask me. and i also think that its bs when an illegal immigrant comes in and get everything handed to them and we cant get shit.
| SarahJaneDrkAngl05 chapter 2 . 7/27/2006
yea u are so right about how teens are getting stupider as time goes by. its like they dont know any common sense! and also for the drunk part i deff agree! my bfs brother has these partys every and i mean every weekend and gets trashed. i cant stand it. and alot of the times kids are going home drunk and or high and might possably be driving. i also have people out there i care about that i dont want to hear that theyve been in a wreck bc of someone that was drunk or high while driving. have enough common sense to stay home if ur gonna do that shit or have someone else drive or how bout this one, stay over at the ppls house that ur parting at. i bet they probably have an extra room or a couch.
| SarahJaneDrkAngl05 chapter 1 . 7/27/2006
im the same way. i cant go up by the casket at a funeral. ive had way to many ppl die that i know and it freaks me out being that close. my sister told me one time that if i got to close my great grandma would grab me and take me with her. of course i was little but that scared the hell out of me. i still hate going to funerals. and as for the death thing, i never really thought about it but yea i am kind of afraid to die.
| Muted Dragon chapter 1 . 6/21/2006
i think dying is rather peaceful. though i have never seen a dead body or had anyone close to me die. *shrug* to each his (in this case, her) own. there's always cremation, freezing the body, or donating to medical science (body farm).
| WaterFarie88 chapter 1 . 6/14/2006
You'd get bored as an immortal. And upset, because we'd all die and you wouldn't. You'd get to attend ALL our viewings then. *evil grin*
Dead bodies aren't THAT bad. I got to dissect one over the summer for NYLF. Well, a cadaver anyway. Hm... I should stop rambling before you finally decide I've lost my mind, lol.

Villarreal have ruled out making a bid to sign veteran Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell during the summer transfer window.
Pompey recently dismissed as 'nonsense' reports that the centre-half would be allowed to leave Fratton Park.
General manager Jose Manuel Llaneza told the Spanish media: "Villarreal is not predicting the arrival of another defender.
"That is clear. Now, we do not need more defenders. "If Martin Caceres (who has been on loan at Recreativo) returns, the defence is reinforced well, but the decision lies with the coach."

Live TV on mobile – Do you want to watch Live News and Sports on mobile?
I have a pda phone that can do everything emails, web browsing, mp3 even mp4 but the thing that was missing was that I could not watch live TV through it. All the sites that I visited and used with my computer to watch live TV would not work on my mobile phone. All I wanted to do was watch live news and Sports.It was mainly for the sports so I could watch my footy team while I was out of the house. The screen is big enough to make out the picture so it would be ideal. The speed of the mobile broadband these days means it is set up for live TV. All I needed was a provider to give me the channels.I eventually found a provider on the internet that would give me over 200 channels with both news and sports and it would be directly on my mobile. The only thing that was needed was a mobile with internet access which I had.I decided to get the software. I got the software 50% off as they had an offer open to the next 100 customers, at the time of writing this article this offer was open to another 80 customers, The software cost me $50 instead of $100.I downloaded the software installed it on my phone and now I can watch local news and sport on my mobile phone. There are also a number of other channels like entertainment, kid's channels but as I said I mainly got it for news and sports.The other good thing is that I can watch live sporting events with no further fees or subscriptions.In summary if you want to watch live TV on mobile then this software will do it for you.
So what are you waiting for follow the link below and you can be watching live TV on mobile within 20 minutes – LIVE TV ON MOBILE

Wonderful presentation and pricing. When it came to completing the job however they were over a month off target, they didn't provide the quality promised and had many excuses to why it wasn't...
Recently chose Wesson to gut both my bath and kitchen, and develop a new floor plan. We did the bathroom first as that project was easier and less expensive than the kitchen to do. From the first phone call to their office to the clean-up guy during the job, we could not have dealt with any nicer people.

One of the most subtle allusions to horses is the word cinch, meaning a ` sure thing. '
While I had to purchase it, it was VERY easy to setup, and recording was a cinch that is actually the first time that I have ever typed the word cinch ... weird.
He had what gamblers call a cinch, or he would have had, if the man he watched for had not been standing directly behind him, with rifle-sights in a line with the scar on the back of his thick neck.
If I'm riding hunches one and two, I just got to ride this cinch, which is number three.
It occurs to me that a horse with this curious mania for binding cinches or cinching binders -- or, in other words, a cinch binder -- will be as willing to indulge in his favourite sport with the saddle unoccupied as otherwise.
I could probably do it in a "cinch" at some other point in my life and if circumstances were different.
But when Enriquez began to tighten the "cinch" or girth, a more singular thing occurred.
The eminent lawyer, his calculating eye still on Garrison, then proceeded with much forensic ability and virile imagination to lay the full beauties of the "cinch" before him.
At the end of the three goals the Kingstonians began to whisper to themselves that they had what they were pleased to call a "cinch"; they alluded to the Palatines as "easy fruit," and began to make a number of fresh and grand-stand plays.
If he had been one of those "college guys" who never could get enough of books, what a "cinch" the place would have been for him -- good as the Astor Library!
Citation on grouchbag.
Saddle me up the Zebra Dun—
Whoa, Zebe, whoa!
Double-cinch the son of a gun—
Whoa, till I bridle you, whoa!
Foot in the stirrup, straddle him quick—
Pitch and squeal and buck and kick—
Take your gait or the spurs will prick,
Lope along, you Zebra Dun.
- Edwin Ford Piper, 'Whoa, Zebe, Whoa'.
Her belt was cinched so tight that, looking at it, you could hardly draw your own breath, the stiff waves of her hair were netted to her skull, her skirt snapped sharply at her legs.
—Dorothy Parker, 'The Bolt behind the Blue'
By the way, I have great admiration for Parker's frequent, skilful use of asyndeton.

This brush essentially transformed my life! I have very thick, frizzy hair and every time I wash my hair, I spend 40 minutes negotiating the frizz with a brush while blowdrying and then another 20 with a flatiron coaxing the hair smooth.
This brush basically leaves my hair smooth, silky, frizz-less, and still retain bounce and volume! I take little sections, wrap my hair around and pull the hair down as I run the blowdryer over. It gives results like a professional blowout. Totally in love with this brush.
I have received more compliments on my hair since using this brush. I have very thin, limp, straight hair. I have been able to create a nice curl at the bottom that lasts long. Also, the fact the handle is one piece it never snags or pulls my hair. It's also very comfortable to handle.5

Under the headline "Domestic Dispute A Bad Mix With Cocaine," State Police report that they arrested a man for alleged cocaine possession after they stopped to investigate a fight at the Thruway toll barrier in Harriman.
They give the following acount:
On February 14, 2010, an SP Newburgh Thruway patrol responded to a domestic dispute in the Harriman Toll Barrier parking lot in the Town of Woodbury, Orange County. The dispute was occurring in a vehicle parked in the lot. Upon the patrol's arrival, he attempted to interview one of the participants, DEVONNE BROWN, age 26, of New York City when he detected the odor of marihuana coming from the vehicle. A computer check revealed that BROWN was in violation of an order of protection, part of that order being a stay away order which protected the woman he was fighting with. Further investigation revealed foil packages containing cocaine were in the vehicle and that BROWN possessed $6325 in U.S. currency. As a result BROWN was arrested and charged with Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 3rd degree with intent to sell and Criminal Contempt of Court 2nd degree. He was arraigned in the Town of Woodbury Court and committed to the Orange County Jail in lieu of $7000 cash bail or $14,000 bond pending an appearance in the Town of Woodbury Court.

The Red Sox had a scout at the Rockies' game Wednesday night, but it wasn't tied to Chris Iannetta. While Boston will likely revisit talks for the catcher in the offseason, the Red Sox need relief pitching. The Marlins have a battery of electric arms, including closer Leo Nuñez.
Gift of Gaby.
Marlins rookie Gaby Sanchez blasted his 10th home run. He was the NL rookie of the month in June, besting Washington's Stephen Strasburg.
Double trouble.
Of Ian Stewart's 31 hits on the road this season, 17 have gone for extra bases.

Posted on June 11, 2010 in Racquets
It's funny how a racquet being re-released or updated with a new cosmetic can inspire one to go out and hit with it again.
Such was the case with Yonex releasing a new cosmetic for the RD Ti 80. It was actually the third time I've been inspired to hit the RD Ti 80, making this the third cosmetic version I've used. The good news is, the response has never changed. Every time I hit the RD Ti 80, it feels exactly how I remember it: rock solid, silky smooth, stable yet maneuverable and offering almost effortless depth and penetration.
In the previous two iterations of the RD Ti 80, I was using multifilament strings exclusively. I always enjoyed the racquet but would occasionally find a shot fly deep on me for no apparent reason. It seemed the same response that offered effortless depth could, at times, provide too much of a good thing and cause me to miss long. It was that missing long which prevented me from seriously taking a look at the RD Ti 80. Don't get me wrong, I always enjoyed playing with it, I could just never find that feeling where the racquet became an extension of my arm — until today.
Today, I went out and hit the RD Ti 80 strung with Topspsin Cyber Flash 16 at 60lbs. From the first hit, the racquet felt great. I was finding that same silky smooth response, effortless penetration and just a dynamite combo of stability/maneuverability. I was getting more spin from the racquet than I remembered and was really enjoying it on my slice backhand. The big difference, however, was I didn't miss long. Monofilament co-poly string has cured my malady with the RD Ti 80. For the first time the racquet felt like an extension of my arm. I felt really comfortable taking a good cut at the ball and quickly started to trust the response I was finding. It was just a great hit with the racquet today and I really found the groove with it.
Am I going to switch? No. I'm still really happy with my Volkl Power Bridge 10 Mids and can't see myself leaving that racquet. However, I'll definitely be hitting the RD Ti 80 more from now on. I had so much fun hitting the racquet today. Now I'm anxious what kind of performance I can find from it with different co-poly strings and at different tensions (yes, there will be some experimentation in the 30lbs range for sure).

Recently, I heard someone ask a budding photography student why he would choose a field that is going to die out now that everyone can take his or her own photos with an iPhone.
Those of us who work with web sites, publications, ads, and other marketing materials know better: We will always need professional photographers no matter how artsy you can get with Instagram.
Just like a professionally designed website will look and function much more effectively than a cheap template where you drop in your own information, good professional photography will always look better than the collection of snaps take with your phone or iPad. Can you get some good pictures on your own that might work for your website? Absolutely. Can you yourself do an entire package of photos good enough for your company brochure, ad, or billboard? Probably not.
As with most services, you get what you pay for. Having worked with a range of photographers over my 20+ years in writing and PR, I've seen the good, the bad and the downright ugly results (some of my wedding photos would fall into that category, but that's another story…)
A talented, trained photographer is an artist and knows and understands things that you likely don't:
- How to create an interesting setting and composition for your subject (s).
- How to manipulate lighting.
- That you need to put a subject at ease in order to capture his or her personality.
- That even a good photo may need editing and slight retouching.

PARIS, Dec 18 (Reuters) - France's lower house of parliament rejected on Tuesday two requests to set up a committee of inquiry into share dealings and alleged insider trading at European aerospace and defence group EADS . The separate demands, made by left-wing parties, were to investigate "the role and control of the state on the evolution of EADS shareholder structure since November 2005" and "insider trading within the EADS group".

The Warriors are bringing some intriguing draft prospects into Oakland for workouts over the weekend, including Marshall shot-blocker Hassan Whiteside and 19-year-old Ryan Richards from England.
Whiteside is considered by some the best interior defender in the draft, though he is a typical boom-or-bust guy. He might not even be the headliner of Saturday's six-player group.
Joining Whiteside is Baylor big man Ekpe Udoh and NCAA Tournament darling Gordon Hayward of Butler. Lesser known but also interesting players in the group are Marqus Blakely, a great perimeter defender from Vermont, and embattled New Mexico State guard Jahmar Young. UCLA shooter Mike Roll rounds out Saturday's six-man group.
On Sunday, the Warriors are working out Richards, a 6-foot-10 lanky forward who got rave reviews at the combine. It will be interesting to see him go body up with Kansas big man Cole Aldrich.
Depending on how the matchups go Sunday, the Warriors could get to see the nation's best scorer and the best perimeter defender go at it. The Warriors have done pretty well grabbing national scoring champions (Stephen Curry and Reggie Williams), and they'll take a look at Houston's Aubrey Coleman. Also in Sunday's group is Mizzou guard J.T. Tiller, the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.
The last two players in the Sunday group are Dominique Jones and Lance Stephenson. Jones is the South Florida combo guard who is rising quickly as a sleeper and is even being called a "poor man's John Wall." Stephenson is a one-and-done guard from Cincinnati who is getting mixed reviews.
Workout plans change quite frequently, but it looks like it'll be an interesting weekend. We'll get to interview three prospects each day, so vote wisely on the Warriors' Web site as to whose quotes you want to read.

Police are patrolling Justin Bieber's rented home in Atlanta to ensure the pop star is not hassled by fans.
The "Baby" hit maker moved in to the mansion of R&B star Dallas Austin last week after signing a three-month rental agreement, and he is rumored to be keen to find a property of his own in the hip-hop Mecca.
The area the property is in falls under the jurisdiction of the Sandy Spring Police Department and the force has now put officers on special patrol to guard the troubled pop star's privacy.
Editors at TMZ.com report a police department captain has assigned officers to drive past the property several times during the day and night to ensure over-eager fans aren't loitering or trespassing nearby.
The law official is apparently also aware of the problems Bieber had with some of his neighbors in Calabasas, Calif., and insists his police department will not tolerate any troublemaking from the pop star.

A French attempt to sneak language authorizing military action into the UN Security Council resolution on Syria's chemical weapons disarmament, a plan backed by US and British officials, has failed, and the US is resigned to the resolution moving forward without any military option built in.
The concession means that the Russian resolution will essentially be the one accepted, and that while still officially claiming the "right" to attack Syria at any time, the Obama Administration is backing off its threats.
US officials had previously criticized the Russian plan as "toothless" because it didn't include a threat of war, but since Syria has already ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) now, there was realistically little argument to be made for threatening war in the resolution.
US and Russian officials are holding talks in Geneva on the matter at the moment, and the tack the administration is now taking is to try to include some sort of vague threat of sanctions if the CWC disarmament, which is expected to take many years at any rate, begins stalling.
Russian officials have been adamant about not including anything that could even tangentially refer to military action in the UN resolutions on Syria, noting that a Libya resolution authorizing a no-fly zone was immediately spun by the US as authorization for an all-out war of regime change, and fearing that Syria would be a repeat.
The US, more than any other nation, exemplifies the slow nature of the process of disarmament, as the Nixon Administration began a process of unilateral disarmament by dumping weapons wholesale in the ocean, and 45 years later the US still retains such weapons, and isn't expected to be done disposing of them for another decade.
In Syria, the process has the extra complication of an ongoing civil war, meaning that job one for the international community will be keeping al-Qaeda dominated rebel factions from seizing the arms.

A Nixon Ex-Aide Explains
Published: July 20, 2007
To the Editor:
Re ''National Archives Release 11 Hours of Nixon Tapes'' (news article, July 12):
Richard M. Nixon's tape-recorded description of me, in a 1972 conversation with Charles Colson, as ''house Jew'' for Nixon's second term was a characteristic piece of cynical Nixonian shorthand.
From the beginning of my service in the Nixon administration in 1969 I was a partisan of Jewish issues, particularly those involving the security of Israel.
As such, I was able to make a substantial contribution to administration policies during the controversies over the Rogers plan and arms deliveries to Israel in 1969 and in the critical days of the Yom Kippur War in 1973.
Of those polices, Israel's prime minister during the war, Golda Meir, later wrote in her autobiography that Israel ''never had a better friend'' in the White House than Nixon.
Notwithstanding the miserable tapes, I believe that I can claim part of the credit for Mrs. Meir's assessment. Leonard Garment
New York, July 13, 2007

Go skins! Ugh, I feel dirty now.
Go skins! Ugh, I feel dirty now.
Need that 2nd pick. Colts will trade theirs, watch the Jets swoop in and get a QB before the Giants.
I wonder if we will see Davis Webb in the 2nd half
My prayers are answered; the NYG are going to get a sure-bet, as many suggest, high draft pick. Whoopee! Guaranteed to be the next coming of.......................
I'm more pleased that they won; and played well.
Please take Barkley
Cant lose here. Ill take Barkley (trade down and grab another 1?) or either QB.

How many picks the giants got
I know its not Giants related but Tony Romo is awful in the booth.
"Supposedly" down to 3 coaching candidates...
I think all would be solid choices.
Patricia is the favorite for the job, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the team's search. The Giants were impressed by his smarts and view him as the ultimate Bill Belichick protégé considering he was close to a blank canvas when he arrived in New England.
Hiring a defensive guy makes absolutely no sense when the most important thing in the next 3 or so years is developing your next QB.
Unless they're tripling down on building the league's best defense and trying to somehow be competitive for the next couple years with Eli...but that seems like wishful thinking.


text: Mitt Romney Romney stops at Ford Field to address the Detroit Economic Club By Laura Weber • Feb 24, 2012 Laura Weber / MPRN Republican candidate for president Mitt Romney received a warm reception from the Detroit Economic Club today. Romney and his rivals vying for the Republican nomination have just a few days left to woo voters before the state's Republican primary on Tuesday. Romney spoke to the group on the 30 yard line of the vast, mostly empty Ford Field about his proposals to reduce individual and corporate income taxes, and end federal subsidies for Amtrak and funding for Planned Parenthood if he is elected president. Romney and the Bridge By Jack Lessenberry • Feb 24, 2012 If you've following the Michigan Republican presidential primary race, you probably know that Governor Rick Snyder has endorsed Mitt Romney. If you've been following politics in Michigan, you probably know that one of the governor's top priorities is a new bridge over the Detroit River, the New International Trade Crossing. Nearly the entire corporate and business community want this bridge. But the governor hasn't even been able to get a vote on it in the legislature, where many of the members have taken campaign donations from Matty Moroun, owner of the rival Ambassador Bridge. Moroun doesn't want any competition, and so far, has managed to frustrate the governor and get his way. This is not purely a local issue; this is America's most economically important border crossing. Billions in heavy freight cross the Ambassador Bridge every month. Getting a new bridge is a top economic priority for Canada, our nation's biggest trading partner. So, how does Mitt Romney stand on the question of whether we should build a new international bridge? The answer seems to be that he doesn't. He is apparently refusing to take a position on it. Romney Tries To Connect With Mich. Tea Party Voters By Don Gonyea • Feb 24, 2012 Michigan holds its GOP primary next Tuesday, and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney spoke at a Tea Party rally in Milford Thursday night. That's a segment of the party that he's had a hard time winning over in previous states during this primary season. Mitt Romney courts Tea Party groups in Milford By Tracy Samilton • Feb 23, 2012 Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney stumped for primary votes in Milford last night, at an event sponsored by eight different Tea Party groups. Wes Nakagiri is the founder of one Tea Party group called Retake Our Gov. Nakagiri says all Tea Party members share some common beliefs. "We believe that piling mountains of debt on our children and grandchildren is immoral and absolutely wrong," he told the crowd in a short speech, before introducing Governor Romney without fanfare. Five days to go before the Michigan presidential primary By Zoe Clark • Feb 23, 2012 We're down to five days, now. Five days before the state holds its all-important presidential primary, and two new polls show a tightening race between front-runners Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. "An NBC News/Marist Poll released Wednesday shows 37 percent of 1,147 likely Michigan GOP primary voters backing Romney, 35 percent Santorum and 13 percent Ron Paul. Eight percent support Newt Gingrich, and 4 percent are undecided," the Associated Press reports. And, "a new EPIC-MRA poll of 400 likely voters shows Santorum with 37 percent, Romney 34 percent, Paul 10 percent and Gingrich 7 percent. Twelve percent were undecided," the AP notes. The four Republican candidates debated last night in Arizona, possibly the last debate of this 2012 primary. About 30 minutes into the debate, a subject close to many Michiganders hearts and pocketbooks - the auto bailout - was brought up. The AP reports: All of the GOP presidential candidates say they oppose President Barack Obama's decision to bail out failing automakers... Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul all say they'd have refused giving government money to General Motors and Chrysler. Gingrich says it wouldn't have been a tough decision -- he says that other operations in the auto industry outside of Detroit were doing fine. Romney says that his own approach to the auto industry calling for a structured bankruptcy would have been better. He says that some of the money used in the bailout was wasted. Paul says he opposes all bailouts and says just because a bailout was successful doesn't mean it should have been done. Just in case you're craving more post-debate analysis this morning, you can check out the stories below. And, is it just me, or is there a whole lotta fightin' words in these headlines ("duels," "attacks," "jabs," "draws fire")!? Politico: Rick Santorum on the defensive in Arizona debate The New York Times: Romney duels with Santorum in Arizona debate The Detroit News: Romney, Santorum go on attack in GOP debate CNN.com: Romney jabs at Santorum's record in CNN debate Wall Street Journal: Santorum draws fire in fight for GOP lead High stakes for Romney and Santorum in tonight's Republican debate By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Feb 22, 2012 Screen grab from video / guardian.co.uk The four remaining Republican presidential candidates are set to take the stage tonight for what could be the final debate of the primary season. While they will likely face a lot of questions from Arizona voters during the event, scheduled to be broadcast from Mesa, the candidates' performances have the potential to make a big impact in Michigan as well. Once considered to be an electoral cakewalk for mitten-state native Mitt Romney, next Tuesday's Michigan primary has turned into a tight race between Romney and ex-Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. Michigan GOP looking for a leader By Mercedes Mejia & Jennifer White • Feb 21, 2012 Photo courtesy of Michigan GOP. Michigan is just a week away from its Presidential Primary. The GOP candidates are campaigning across the state in preparation for the February 28 event. Michigan Radio's Jennifer White spoke with the chair of the Michigan Republican Party, Robert Schostak. Mitt Romney is from Michigan, so a lot people believe he will win in his home state, but Rick Santorum was leading in the polls over Romney. Schostak is not surprised Santorum is doing well in the state. Romney visits southeast Michigan, praises right-to-work By Laura Weber • Feb 21, 2012 wikimedia commons Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made a couple campaign stops in southeast Michigan before traveling to Arizona for a debate with the other Republican candidates. Romney told people at a town-hall-style meeting in Shelby Township that the federal government is not working for Michiganders. "We know what it takes to get Washington to work so that America can work, so that Michigan can work, so that people here can have confidence that the promise of America – and that is hard work and education – will be the promise of prosperity and security, that that promise is one that we will live and we will fulfill, and I'll get that job done if I'm your president," said Romney. Romney also weighed in on Michigan's ongoing debate over compulsory union membership. "My view is, every person in America ought to have the right to choose whether to join the union or not, so I'm in favor of Right-to-Work legislation," Romney said. Governor Rick Snyder – who endorsed Romney – says he thinks the right-to-work debate is divisive and he has no interest in pushing right-to-work legislation in the near future. New poll shows Romney leading Santorum in Michigan By Mark Brush • Feb 21, 2012 mittromney.com There's nothing like a good political pony race, and Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are in a close one in Michigan. Much has been made of Rick Santorum's lead in Michigan. How could an outsider be up on Michigan's native son? Now a new poll shows Romney has closed the gap. The Michigan Information and Research Service and the Mitchell Research Poll released new numbers this morning. It shows Romney leading Santorum 32 percent to 30 percent - well within the margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points. In this morning's news... By Mark Brush • Feb 21, 2012 user brother o'mara / Michigan Radio Santorum makes stops in West Michigan Michigan Radio's Lindsey Smith reports Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum made stops in Muskegon, Holland, and Grand Rapids yesterday. While in Muskegon, Santorum talked about producing more oil and natural gas in the U.S. Smith reports he criticized President Obama for voting against the Keystone XL pipeline: "(Obama and environmentalists) see an opportunity to go out and scare people. 'Oh look at what's going on - they're producing all this dangerous stuff near you and they're drilling wells. Oh and they're going to pollute this and pollute that," Santorum said sarcastically. "It's a bunch of garbage." Mitt Romney is expected to be in Macomb County later today, and Ron Paul will be in the state later this week. We'll bring you more coverage of both these candidates. Newt Gingrich's campaign has not made any announcements of Michigan appearances for the candidate. UM Regents hold emergency vote on graduate student union hearings The decades long effort to unionize University of Michigan graduate students has largely been a local one - debated between students, the administration, and UM Regents on the campus in Ann Arbor. But in the last year, the fight has been reaching into state politics with Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette stepping into the fray and now Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville. Richardville has introduced a bill that would ban graduate student unions. He's holding hearings on the bill today, and in a symbolic show of support of the organizing graduate students, the University of Michigan Regents held a vote this morning. From the Detroit Free Press: The University of Michigan Regents, in an emergency meeting this morning, opposed a bill up for debate later today in a state Senate committee that would ban graduate student research assistants from unionizing. In doing so, the Regents, in a straight party line vote, passed the motion, recognizing the more than 2,000 GSRAs as employees... Today's vote reaffirmed a motion first passed in May. Snow in February? What is this world coming to? With this year's unusually mild winter, news of closed roads and heavy snowfall seems unique. This morning's snowfall has led to some road closings. From the Detroit Free Press: Snow began falling shortly after 9 a.m. around metro Detroit, including spots in Wayne County and downtown Detroit, presenting some problems for late-morning commuters. Westbound I-94 at Scio Church Rd. in Washtenaw County was shutdown due to an accident involving a car and a semi-truck. Motorists were being diverted onto Ann-Arbor Saline Rd. Earlier, police shut down M-14 in both directions to clear an accident. It has since been reopened, but Washtenaw County police dispatchers warn that the area is still icy and to use precaution. What if Romney Loses? By Jack Lessenberry • Feb 21, 2012 Four years ago, Michigan politicians believed their presidential primary would be meaningful and influential. It was anything but. The state broke both parties' rules by holding it too early. Barack Obama's name was not on the ballot, and it was won by two candidates who ended up not winning their nominations. This year's primary was supposed to be a big yawn. Democrats have only one candidate, and on the Republican side, this was supposed to be just a brief stop in native son Mitt Romney's coronation parade. Except that's not how it is working out. Rick Santorum stops in Muskegon, Holland and Grand Rapids By Lindsey Smith • Feb 20, 2012 Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum is finishing his last stop in West Michigan Monday evening. At a rally in Muskegon Monday afternoon Santorum mostly criticized President Obama, rather than his republican rivals in the presidential primary. "Ladies and gentlemen this president is doing everything he can to shut down the manufacturing sector of this economy; from an environmental, energy, regulatory, and tax position," Santorum said. Santorum spent a lot of time talking about producing more energy in the United States by drilling for oil and natural gas. Santorum criticized President Obama for voting against a pipeline that would've sent crude oil from Canada to the southern U.S. for refining. "(Obama and environmentalists) see an opportunity to go out and scare people. 'Oh look at what's going on - they're producing all this dangerous stuff near you and they're drilling wells. Oh and they're going to pollute this and pollute that," Santorum said sarcastically. "It's a bunch of garbage." Michigan gets some lovin' from the Republican presidential candidates By Zoe Clark • Feb 17, 2012 Gage Skidmore / Flickr By now, it's probably not news to you that Michigan holds the nation's next presidential primary on February 28th. And, it's likely to be a doozy. Santorum touts candor and consistency to Michigan voters By Laura Weber • Feb 17, 2012 wikimedia commons Republican candidate for president Rick Santorum says he thinks he would appeal to Democrats and independents in Michigan if he is on the November ballot. Appearing on public television's "Off the Record," Santorum said he was able to attract votes when he ran for the US Senate in his Democratic-leaning home state of Pennsylvania. And he said, if he is the Republican nominee for president, independent voters will appreciate his honesty. "You know what policies I'm going to be out there advocating for, I'm someone you can trust, I'm someone who is open to listening but who has a very clear vision for where I want to take the country," Santorum said. Will Gov. Snyder's endorsment help Romney? By Mercedes Mejia & Jennifer White • Feb 16, 2012 User: dailyfortnight / flickr Governor Rick Snyder gave his endorsement to Mitt Romney today. The question is whether or not that endorsement will help Romney. Michigan Radio's Jennifer White spoke with Ken Sikkema, former Senate Majority Leader and Senior Policy Fellow at Public Sector Consultants, and Susan Demas, political analyst for Michigan Information and Research Service. Here's what Susan Demas had to say about the Snyder endorsement: Romney shows "love" for Michigan, autos as he stumps for votes By Rick Pluta • Feb 16, 2012 user gageskidmore / Flickr Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney spoke to a business luncheon today not far from where he grew up in Oakland County as he stumped for Republican support in Michigan's presidential primary. Protestors outside carried a banner that said "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" -- a reminder of what Romney famously said in 2008 as he opposed the taxpayer-funded auto industry bailout. Inside, Romney said he loves the auto industry and still drives a Ford Mustang – and defended his history as a venture capitalist to a chamber of commerce lunch largely filled with businesspeople. Snyder Endorsing Romney By Jack Lessenberry • Feb 16, 2012 Last night we all learned that today would be the day when Governor Rick Snyder endorsed Mitt Romney for president. This is a time-honored ritual, not all that different in some ways from waiting to see if Billy will ask Katie to the prom. But what nobody ever seems to ask is, what effect this all has? I mean, will Joe Sixpack or Susie Salarywoman come home tonight, throw open the door and say, "Honey, did you hear the news? Snyder endorsed Romney. I guess that settles it for us." In this morning's news... By Mark Brush • Feb 16, 2012 user brother o'mara / Flickr Governor Snyder endorses Romney, but will it help? Michigan Governor Rick Snyder officially endorsed Mitt Romney for president. In an opinion piece in the Detroit News, Governor Snyder wrote: The American economy as a whole remains in difficult straits. Our next president must understand how markets work and know how to get our nation back on track. Mitt Romney is the man for the job. Polls show Romney trailing Santorum in Michigan. If Romney loses here, Matt Viser writes in Boston.com, it would be a big blow to his campaign: A Romney loss in Michigan - the state where he grew up, the state his father governed, the state he says he loves - would not only breathe further life into Santorum's campaign but could derail Romney's. Federal prosecutors charge top Wayne County employee Tahir Kazmi, Wayne County's Chief Information Officer, has been charged with extortion and obstruction of justice. Michigan Radio's Steve Carmody reports that federal prosecutors charged Kazmi "with pressuring a county vendor to lie to FBI agents investigating possible corruption in Wayne County government." Kazmi is also charged with extortion for allegedly demanding cash and expensive trips in exchange for awarding county contracts. The federal investigation in Wayne County began after the Turkia Mullin severance scandal broke last October. Detroit Mayor Bing wants to cut bus service from 1 to 4 a.m. Detroit's beleaguered bus system is facing more cuts. Layoffs were recently announced, now Mayor Bing's office said it want to cut early morning service. More from the Detroit Free Press: Bing's office said it will propose ending bus service between 1 and 4 a.m. citywide and reduce service times and lengthen waits between buses on dozens of routes. The cuts would take effect March 3. Coupled with the reductions, Detroit will institute a "truth in scheduling" pledge that buses will arrive at times posted on new city bus schedules as officials work to right the bus system as part of Bing's strategy to avoid a state financial takeover, Detroit Chief Operations Officer Chris Brown told the Free Press on Wednesday. Romney and the Bailout By Jack Lessenberry • Feb 15, 2012 Usually, journalists are sent press releases before political events, because the organizers want reporters to cover them. Monday, I got one about an event that was already over. That would normally strike me as a trifle unusual, until I saw that it was from the Green Party of Michigan. They had a meeting last weekend in Bay City which they said was "charged with enthusiasm." What did they talk about? Well, among other things, quote "the unrest palpable among the lower echelons of society." and the "once-dismissed voters who opted to eschew either," major party nominee. Republican presidential contenders plan Michigan events By The Associated Press • Feb 15, 2012 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - Republican presidential contenders are turning more of their attention to Michigan ahead of the state's Feb. 28 presidential primary. Mitt Romney is scheduled to be in Grand Rapids on Wednesday for a roundtable and rally at furniture maker Compatico Inc. The Michigan native also is scheduled to speak Thursday at a Farmington Area Chamber of Commerce event in the Detroit suburb of Farmington Hills. Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum speaks Thursday to the Detroit Economic Club at Cobo Center in Detroit. Later that day he's scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the Oakland County Lincoln Day Dinner in the Detroit suburb of Novi. Other events are expected leading up to the primary.

Half of the area's high school football games will be televised on Thursday. Bet you'd never thought I'd say that, huh?
Well, I can say that because there are only four games (two of which will be televised). The game of the night will be at Spring ISD's Leonard George Stadium as Westfield hosts Klein Forest. The Mustangs are coming off their first loss of the year, a 47-39 defeat at the hands of Dekaney, while the Golden Eagles are 4-0 and continue to roll after a 39-34 win over Klein Oak. The game will be on KTBU (Ch. 55).
I have a feeling that there will be a lot of points and a lot of big plays to come. What say you? Can Westfield bounce back or will Klein Forest continue rolling?
I'll be on site at George Stadium to live blog the game, which kicks off at 7 p.m.
The other games are Madison-Milby (on CSS), Bush-FB Austin and Dobie-South Houston. Here's the complete schedule:

So, using xargs is fundamentally better as far as memory consumption is concerned. Performance should never be an issue except maybe in pathological cases. This silly analysis does not even take into account the effects from all the memory allocation you'll have to do to for a large number of arguments.

Here is what you need to know on this Wednesday, March 2, seven days before the start of NFL free agency.
Cousins tag will make Reed extension harder to get done
Technically, the Redskins are over the NFL salary cap after officially placing the franchise tag on quarterback Kirk Cousins. The quarterback tag cap charge puts them over by $6.55 million.
It's all perfectly legal; they will be in the good graces of Rodger Goodell and John Mara by the time the league years starts on March 9. But Cousins' cap hit of $19.95 million, or 12.8 percent of the salary cap, will make it difficult to make some moves in free agency and make it hard to hold on to some players the team may want to keep.
One current player who is not a free agent who might be in line for a new contract is tight end Jordan Reed. He helped make Cousins that $20 million this year by leading the team in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdown receptions in 2015. Reed is in the last year of his rookie contract and will make $1.6 million in 2016.
The team would like to sign him to an extension but that is something that will have to go on the back burner while they attend to some more immediate business.
This doesn't mean that an extension for Reed can't get done at some point before the season starts. But it probably means that Cousins will have to get an extension first.
The Redskins and Cousins will continue to negotiate a deal that would supersede the franchise tag contract. Usually such deals have a relative low first-year cap hit. That could create room for the Redskins to squeeze in an extension for Reed.
Here is how it could play out. The Redskins go into the summer with a few million dollars of cap room, just enough to get through the season accounting for players on injured reserve and paying practice squad players. Cousins and the Redskins negotiate right up until the July 15 deadline and come up with a five-year deal that averages $18 million per year. Since the salary cap is going to rise over the course of the contract it is structure to have a relatively low first-year cap hit of $14 million.
That takes $6 million off of the cap. In mid July there are no free agents worth pursuing so the best thing to do is use it to take care of their own. They would start serious negotiations with Reed's agent and just before the regular season they sign him to a four-year extension worth about $10 million per year, using some of that recently created $6 million to help pay for it.
It will be important for the Redskins at least to get either Cousins or Reed to agree to a long-term deal. They don't want to get into a situation in 2017 where both Cousins and Reed are free agents. They would only be able to franchise tag one of them and the two players need each other to be successful.
—The Redskins last played a game 52 days ago. It will be about 193 days until they play another one.
—Days until: NFL free agency starts 7; Redskins offseason workouts start 47; 2016 NFL draft 57
In case you missed it
- Cousins tagged as franchise player
- Cousins should be all smiles after seeing Bradford contract
- Despite tag, Cousins still not under contract with Redskins
- Don't expect contract holdout from Cousins over franchise, per former agent
- Cousins tag put the Redskins over the salary cap
- Five Redskins who need to step up in 2016

U.S.A. 13 Russia 0: Should the IOC Institute a Mercy Rule for Hockey?February 17, 2010
The United States women's hockey team flattened Russia 13-0 on Tuesday at the UBC Thunderbird Arena in Vancouver, B.C. One day earlier, the Canadian women's team defeated Slovakia by a score of 18-0, which qualifies as the biggest rout in Olympic history.
These lopsided affairs in women's hockey, which are not exclusive to these Olympics Games, have conjured up whispers about the need for mercy rule in women's hockey—essentially a statute that would end the game once a certain margin in the score was reached.
So, should the International Olympic Committee (IOC) institute a mercy rule for hockey?
Absolutely not.
For one, this is the Olympics games, not Little League. The less experienced and weaker teams know what they are getting into when they sign up to participate in the Olympic Games.
In fact, Slovakian goaltender Zuzana Tomcikova, who stopped 49 shots in spite of the 18 she did not, expressed nothing but appreciation for the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games and recognized that, before it even began, the result of the game was never in question.
Tomcikova stated, "The score was as it should have been."
Furthermore, the implementation of a mercy rule would have a negative impact on both the winner and the loser.
Even when the competition may not be up to par, the dominant teams need time to tune-up in real game situations. Robbing them of the opportunity to gain valuable ice time in live-game situations because of their dominance is disadvantageous to the stronger teams.
Moreover, teams like Russia and Slovakia would lose out if a mercy rule were implemented as well. While it is clear these teams are not ready to compete with the elite powers, playing them will only help them get better.
The best way to get better is to play against the best. While the final score may have been lopsided, both the Slovakian and Russian teams are better for having played those games.
Furthermore, the ultimate goal for teams like the Slovakian and Russian squads is to one day compete with the superpowers. To be the best, you need to (eventually) beat the best. What better way to learn how to beat the best than to go head-to-head with them for 60 minutes?
Some have pointed out that Olympic softball had a mercy rule to protect against lopsided scores, and present this as evidence that ice hockey would benefit from a similar rule. However, what these individuals don't realize is that softball and ice hockey are fundamentally different sports.
In softball, teams are required to record outs to advance the game, and a stronger team has no control over the weaker opponent's ability to make a defensive play or record a strikeout.
Moreover, you can't send a batter to the plate and tell her to strikeout. "Giving" your opponent outs to advance the game is far more embarrassing than an 18-0 final score.
In theory, a softball game could go on forever, meaning the mercy rule very well may be in the best interest of the teams and players involved.
On the other hand, hockey has a definite endpoint. Teams play three 20-minute periods, and the game comes to an end. No level of competency is needed for a hockey game to conclude.
In addition, the nature of hockey allows teams to take the pedal off the gas without causing embarrassment to the other team.
In the third period of the game between the United States and Russia, the Americans played a very defensive style of hockey, scored just one goal on two shots, and the Russians nearly ended the shutout when Alexandra Kapustina fired just wide on a chance with an open net.
In conclusion, a mercy rule is not in the best interest of Olympic ice hockey. It would negatively impact the spirit of competition and the teams on both sides of the lopsided scores.
Teams like Russia and Slovakia don't need a rule to protect them. They need time to gain experience and develop the popularity of the sport amongst women in their countries. The IOC needs to leave the issue alone.
