When Anthony Loftin was coaching North Lenoir�s girls basketball team he ran a system known as �32 minutes of hell� for its ball pressure and frenetic pace, and it worked.
Loftin�s now coaching the boys and he�s using the same system.
It still works.
LA GRANGE � When Anthony Loftin was coaching North Lenoir�s girls basketball team he ran a system known as �32 minutes of hell� for its ball pressure and frenetic pace, and it worked.
Loftin�s now coaching the boys and he�s using the same system.
It still works.
Jauquez Jones scored 24 points and North Lenoir forced South Lenoir into 33 turnovers, more than half of them steals as the Hawks won 71-60 Friday in the first game on the hardwood between the county rivals this season.
Jones had five of his team�s 18 steals and hit a pair of 3-pointers during a key third-quarter stretch in which North Lenoir (4-3) scored 10 unanswered points to turn a tie game into a manageable one for the Hawks.
�We went. We played like we was playing pick-up ball � up and down the court, we did what we wanted to, didn�t run any sets and that pressure got us that lead,� said Loftin, whose team has now surpassed its win total for all of last season. �We did a real good job of getting our hands on a lot of balls.�
North Lenoir led 27-20 at the break thanks to a 13-0 first-half run that saw the Blue Devils (2-3) go nearly six minutes without a field goal.
During the stretch the Hawks had two, sometimes three defenders on the ball, which led to 12 turnovers and six points in transition.
South Lenoir fought back to start the third quarter by scoring the first seven points of the second half to tie it. But North Lenoir, which had been out of its full-court press, switched its defense back to the full length of the court and used a 10-0 run to pull ahead for good.
�I feel like the difference in the game was probably a 3- or 4-minute stretch in the first half and a 3- or 4-minute stretch in the second half where we just panicked. It was poor coaching,� said South Lenoir coach Jeremy Barnett, whose team has lost three games to teams that excel with ball pressure. �My job is to get them to do the things we need to do � and I�ve done a poor job.
�Whatever I�ve got to do I�ve got to do better because they�re trying. � Right now we�re a very poor-coached basketball team.�
Playing without a true point guard the Blue Devils, who were led by Ishmael Baldwin�s 26 points and 17 rebounds, found it hard to get into their offense due to the pressure they faced. But when they were able to break the press, shots just would not fall.
South Lenoir hit only 18 of its 47 shot attempts � 2 of 16 from behind the arc � and didn�t convert a 3-pointer until Dion Jones, who scored 15 points, hit one midway through the fourth period.
�We�ve just got to have somebody step up and do their job. We�re not shooting the ball well,� Barnett said. �I really thought we�d be a good shooting team. They were open shots, we�re just not making them.�
The Hawks struggled with their shot as well, hitting just 21 of their 61 field goal tries. But their pressure allowed them more opportunities, thus the difference in scoring.
�We couldn�t execute our offense, get the type of shots we wanted to but I�m happy,� Loftin said. �South Lenoir never gave up. � They�ve got a good team over there but I�m proud of my guys.�
South Lenoir did its part to help out the Hawks by putting them on the free throw line 43 times, but it was North Lenoir�s inability to connect at the charity stripe that did it in.
Heather West scored 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds and teammate Marquia Suddeth had a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds as the Blue Devils (3-2) held on late for the win.
Three South Lenoir players fouled out but North Lenoir (1-6) was only able to hit 14 of its 43 free throws � 6 of 17 in the fourth quarter alone.
Ayshalai Supel hit two of those fourth-quarter freebies to pull the Hawks to within a point at 40-39 with 1:58 to play. West�s younger sister, Hailey, hit a jumper with 38 seconds left to go up 42-39, then the older West, who was being scouted by a representative from Methodist College, hit a pair of free throws with 12 seconds to play to ice it for South Lenoir.
Ta�Breia Foster scored a game-high 18 points for the Hawks, who built an early lead but couldn�t sustain it. They were outscored by South Lenoir 17-8 in the final period.

Although the nuclear crisis in Japan caused us to suspend Friendly Planet Travel's Japan Panorama tours, we will be among the first tour operators to resume travel to Japan when it's safe.
I was able to tell this to Arthur von Wiesenberger on Around the World Travel Radio last Thursday. Tune into the podcast to get an update on the situation in Japan and how it's affecting travelers.
You'll also find out why Friendly Planet travelers aren't losing any money when we suspend tours, why other travelers should hold off on traveling to Japan until the nuclear crisis is resolved, and why the Japanese need time to recover before welcoming travelers back. Thanks again Arthur for having me as a guest!

KDE Architecture - Icon Editor
Another task developers are found to cover frequently is creation of bitmapped resources (icons, button bars, menu icon-tips, other kinds of small graphical enhancements).
KDE provides for this the Icon Editor. On par with the most advanced tools of this category, the K Icon Editor renders the creation of icons a child's game and a pleasure.
Here we have a brief listing of the most important features of KIconEdit:
If in addition to all this we consider the excellent integration with the rest of KDE (on-spot drag-and-drop of the edited icon, use of KDE's help system, very flexible toolbars and tool palettes), it is easy to imagine the value of this powerful and flexible tool.
KIconEdit is also used as a component for icon editing in KDevelop, the Integrated Development Environment of KDE.

This one's sure to give you the nom nom's. Or a heart attack.
Denny's diner has come out with a new sandwich that makes for the mother of all grilled cheese sandwiches: the Fried Cheese Melt. Four deep-fried mozzarella sticks, slathered in bubbling American cheese, sandwiched between two pieces of buttered and grilled sourdough bread. It's served with French fries and a marinara dipping sauce.
All 895 calories of the sandwich will set you back only $4, as it is one of five new items on their $2, $4, $6, $8 value menu. Boy, Denny's really is making breakthroughs on helping make healthy food cheaper.
So when can you get your grubby, gluttonous hands on this? Nation's Restaurant News is reporting they'll be available Aug. 24.
So is this worse than KFC's Double Down?

It's nearly time for the close approach of asteroid 2012 DA14, so here's a handy FAQ to help answer all your questions.
Is it going to hit Earth?
Come on, it's not like the U.S. government would really tell us if it were.
Ok, maybe you're right. But this asteroid was found by Spanish astronomers, not American ones.
How big is it?
Decently sized, about 45 meters across. It's longer than the distance I'd bet on Shayne Graham hitting a game-winning field goal from.
How close will it get?
Pretty darn close, about 17,200 miles away from the surface of the Earth. It will miss colliding with Earth, in other words, by about 15 minutes. This excellent video below from AGI puts the closeness of the collision into more perspective. This is a record close approach for a known asteroid of this size.
When is the closest approach?
Approximately 1:25 p.m. CT on Friday. If it were nighttime here you could see it with binoculars, but it will probably be too faint to observe after the sun sets. If the Earth is still around at that point, that is. (<evil laugh>MUAHAHAHAHA!</evil laugh>)
How bad would it be if it hit Earth?
Pretty bad but far from causing a planet-wide catastrophe. The event would likely be similar in magnitude to the June 1908 Tunguska event, which flattened 800 square miles of trees in Siberia. It's estimated this rock, if it hit a city, would flatten an area of about 1,200 square miles. The city of Houston is 627 square miles in extent.
Are there a lot of these rocks out there?
Yep. Scientists estimate there are about 100,000 asteroids of a similar size that cross Earth's orbit.
How long before one hits?
It's estimated that, on average, a rock of this size impacts Earth about every 800 years.
Can we blame this on global warming?
No. But that didn't stop a CNN anchor from asking Bill Nye the question. Oy.
Should Katy evacuate?
Oh, heaven's yes.

We pray that you will experience God's grace anew as we give thanks that "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14, NIV).
Christmas blessings,

Do locals always rule?
I just had a chance to look through your Annual Manual [August 7]. Are you aware that local "old timers" pronounce Monticello as mont-i-SELL-o?
It's kind of incongruous to say that because the locals say RYE-oh, that– rather than the Spanish– is the correct pronunciation, and then defer to the "intelligentsia's" Italian pronunciation of Monticello as the proper way to pronounce the name of Jefferson's home.
I'm sure Jefferson said "mont-i-CHELL-o," but it seems a bit insulting to the locals to say the (usually) transplanted intelligentsia rule in one case but not another. Food for thought.

Arizona executioners used 15 doses of a lethal drug combination to kill inmate Joseph Wood during his botched, two-hour execution last week, the Arizona Capitol Times reported late Friday.
The injection logs, which were handed over to Wood's attorneys by prison officials following the July 23 execution, showed the inmate was given his first dose at 1:52 p.m.
He then spent more than an hour and a half gasping and snorting, according to witnesses, while the executioners continued to administer more doses of the drug cocktail.
The logs showed the 15th dose was given to him three minutes before he was pronounced dead at 3:49 p.m., according to the Capitol Times.
One of Wood's attorneys frantically tried during a half-hour phone call to get a federal judge to halt the execution while it the ordeal was still going on. Transcripts of the conversation showed the judge began to issue his decision to deny the request but was interrupted by news of the death.
Prison officials have defended the execution, with the head of the state prison system saying parts of the execution went "perfectly" and that it should not be described as "botched."
Gov. Jan Brewer (R) has also defended the execution but ordered the state Department of Corrections to investigate its own work and procedures.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) reacted to news of the execution by describing it as "torture."
"I believe in the death penalty for certain crimes," McCain said last week. "But that is not an acceptable way of carrying it out. And people who were responsible
should be held responsible."
Wood was executed for the 1989 shooting deaths of his girlfriend, Debbie Dietz, 29, and her father, Gene Dietz, 55.

FREMONT, Calif. — March 31, 2010 — Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced that it is bringing the benefits of the award-winning line of Harmony® remotes to people who have simpler home-entertainment needs. The new Logitech® Harmony® 300 Remote is simple to set up, replaces up to four other remotes and gives you better control of what's attached to your TV with the touch of one button.
"Most universal remotes have a bad reputation for being hard to program and, as a result, you still use more than one remote to control the devices you own," said Ashish Arora, vice president and general manager of Logitech's digital home group. "With the Harmony 300, we wanted to deliver the Harmony remote promise of one remote to control your entertainment system to everyone. No more excuses — it's time to get rid of the stack of remotes on your coffee table and simplify your home entertainment experience."
Logitech's research found that more than one-third of the 75 million U.S. and European households who have tried programming a universal remote had been dissatisfied with the process. But the Logitech Harmony 300 Remote is different. With a refreshed Web-based setup designed exclusively for Logitech's newest remote, all you have to do is connect the remote to your computer, go to www.myharmony.com, tell us what devices you're using and we'll do the rest. In just a few simple steps you can have full control of your home-entertainment system.
Plus, your Harmony 300 remote will never be out of date. Logitech's remotes are powered by an online device library that covers more brands than any other remote, including more than 225,000 devices from more than 5,000 brands — and the list grows every day. Whether you have an aging VCR or a brand new Blu-ray™ player, you can be confident your Harmony remote will control the IR devices you have.
Once you set up your remote, you can get to your entertainment fast with just one button press. The Watch TV button will turn on your TV and cable box in seconds — no additional remotes needed. The buttons are placed for easy reach, sculpted so your fingers can naturally find the right commands and grouped by how you'll use them. For example, the buttons for controlling your DVD player are all grouped together. There's even a set of programmable buttons that you can use to jump right to your favorite channels or use for custom control.
The Harmony 300 joins the ever expanding line of Harmony remotes, an award-winning family that includes the Logitech® Harmony® 700 Remote — which controls up to six devices and is rechargeable — and the flagship Logitech® Harmony® One with its stunning touch-screen display.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Harmony 300 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in April for a suggested retail price of $49.99 (U.S). The Logitech Harmony 700 Remote and the Logitech Harmony One Remote are available now worldwide for a suggested retail price of $149.99 (U.S.) and $249.99 (U.S.), respectively. Additional information on the entire Harmony remote line is available at www.logitech.com/harmony.

Coldest Journey Expedition Changing Course in Antarctica
The Coldest Journey expedition is changing course in Antarctica.
The five-man Ice Team and the Cat® D6Ns will now spend the winter at high altitudes in Antarctica, allowing them to focus on advanced scientific work.
It will also provide an unprecedented test for the Cat machines, exposing them to what is in essence a gigantic cold chamber in the coldest part of the world at the coldest time of the year.
The Coldest Journey team elected to take on the new challenge after encountering a severe and extensive crevasse field along the planned route.
Although the D6Ns were designed to deal with the crevasse fields, expedition leaders say there was not enough time left for a safe winter crossing of Antarctica.
While disappointed, the Cat Finning engineers on the expedition, Spencer Smirl and Richmond Dykes, are looking forward to the new phase of the Coldest Journey.

Sometimes it seems like environmentalists have put themselves on such a state of red alert that we can't see a good thing when it's right in front of us.
We're so used to fighting every inappropriate intrusion upon Mother Earth, that even the idea of using wind to provide electrical power can seem like a threat.
So when they could be organizing to support alternative energy sources such as wind farms, a few environmentalists have decided that because wind power, like any energy source, has some small drawbacks, wind is a bad idea altogether.

Looking Into The Galaxy's Heart (It's Red)
This infrared mosaic image, taken by the Hubble telescope, represents the "sharpest survey of the Galactic Center to date," NASA says.NASA
For its popular "photo of the day" feature, NASA gives us a look at the center of the galaxy, in the form of an infrared image — because as I'm sure you already know, infrared can penetrate the dust clouds that obscure the core in the visible spectrum.
This is the area that NASA uses to form ideas about how massive stars are formed, and how they influence other objects.
The image above, taken by the Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer, has a "false color," NASA says, in order to show "the glow of hot hydrogen in space."
Below, you can see an image NASA published in 2008, a view that is less panoramic, and is a composite of a Hubble image and one from the Spitzer Space Telescope survey.
A composite color infrared image of the center of our Milky Way galaxy.NASA, ESA, and Q.D. Wang (University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
If you really like the newer image, you'd do well to visit the NASA site — where you can see it in its full 3,000-pixel glory. Here's how NASA describes what you're seeing:
The winds and radiation from these stars form the complex structures seen in the core and in some cases they may be triggering new generations of stars. At upper left, large arcs of ionized gas are resolved into arrays of intriguingly organized linear filaments indicating a critical role of the influence of locally strong magnetic fields.
The lower left region shows pillars of gas sculpted by winds from hot massive stars in the Quintuplet cluster. At the center of the image, ionized gas surrounding the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy is confined to a bright spiral embedded within a circum-nuclear dusty inner-tube-shaped torus.

Week 5: Another Gut Wrenching Loss 25-24
Bills find another excruciating way to lose on last play.
by Steve Saslow
Just when you thought there wasn't another way for the Bills to lose in gut wrenching, shocking, surprising, awful, incredible fashion, they did. The vaunted special teams unit failed at the worst time when they allowed Dallas to recover in onside kick with just :18 left in the game. The defense played valiantly the whole game forcing a shocking six turnovers in a losing effort. They failed after the onside kick that not only was recovered by the Cowboys, it was recovered 23 yards downfield. That meant they only had to move 12 yards to setup rookie kicker Nick Folk's game winning 53 yard field goal. He even had to kick it twice as the first one was good but the Bills had called timeout. The second kick counted and the Cowboys escaped Buffalo with a 25-24 win.
Tony Romo threw five interceptions, four in the first half, and two were returned for touchdowns. The special teams also scored a touchdown when Terrence McGee went 103 yards for a score. So I ask you, how do you lose a game when you have three touchdowns and six turnovers from your defense/special teams units? You don't... unless you are the Buffalo Bills.
There was a wave of emotion in the stadium as they fans and players were fired up and ready for their first home Monday night game since 1994. The defense got it going quickly when wide receiver turned starting free safety George Wilson picked off a pass and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead.
The Cowboys would tie it early in the second quarter on a Jason Whitten touchdown where he blew by the returning Keith Ellison. The Bills offense moved downfield for their only scoring drive, a Rian Lindell field goal to make it 10-7.
The defense followed through as Chris Kelsay batted a Romo pass in the air and caught it himself for a touchdown and a 10 point lead. The Bills could have went ahead by more at the half but Lindell missed from 54 yards setting up a Cowboy drive to a Folk field goal before the half making it 17-10 at the half. Angelo Crowell and Jabari Greer had the other two first half interceptions.
The Cowboys pulled within four with a third quarter field goal but McGee's kickoff return for a score gave the Bills an 11 point lead and hope for a win. It appeared the game turned when Trent Edwards threw an interception that was returned 74 yards by Terrence Newman. The defense stiffened though as Romo threw a pick to John DiGiorgio. In the second half, Romo would also lose a fumble that was stripped by Aaron Schobel.
Despite all those big defensive plays, the Cowboys still managed a drive to the game tying touchdown with :20 left that is when the ups and downs got even too cruel for the hardened Bills fans. The crowd was very emotional all night and they never sat down. When Greer knocked the ball away from Terrell Owens on the two point conversion attempt it appeared that the fans would be rewarded for their excellent work as a victory seemed to be in hand.
This is the Bills though, it is never over until the final second ticks off the crowd and more often than not at home this year it has ended with the opposing kicker hitting it through the uprights as the clock turns 00 to send the Bills faithful home with gut wrenching one point losses. This is another shocking loss that has to deflate the team that played with incredible heart on defense only to have their most successful unit fail in the end. As usual, the Bills found another way to lose a game, give them an A for creativity but how much more can the fans take?
Here are our exclusive gameballs and goats from the Bills game against the Cowboys, despite the loss there was more good than bad:

Associated Press Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia officials have appointed lawyers to handle a legal dispute with Florida over regional water rights.
State officials said Monday that attorneys Seth Waxman, Chris Landau and Craig Primis will lead Georgia's litigation team. It will also include Georgia attorneys Bruce Brown, Todd Silliman and John Allen.
Florida officials have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to divide up the water rights in the Chattahoochee, Flint and Apalachicola rivers. The river system serves Alabama, Florida and Georgia.
That lawsuit is the latest in a long-running dispute between the states. Florida says that metro Atlanta uses too much water, leaving too little for downstream communities, businesses and wildlife.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said Florida should negotiate a solution, not litigate.
By: Andy Alcock
October 1, 2013
Tallahassee, FL - Florida's water war with Georgia is moving to the courtroom. At issue is the supply of fresh water for Apalachicola Bay.
The state is asking the United States Supreme Court to slow Georgia's consumption of critical fresh water.
The lack of that fresh water flowing from the Apalachicola River, according to the 96 page filing, means Florida's fisheries have "suffered declines". The state points the finger at Georgia's increasing upstream storage and consumption of that fresh water. In particular, Florida claims that storage is taking place at Lake Lanier outside Atlanta.
In a statement, Governor Rick Scott says Georgia has refused to fairly share the waters flowing between the states. So the matter has been brought to the Supreme Court.
The lack of fresh water has been especially tough on the oyster industry. The complaint claims increased salt in Apalachicola Bay has caused those oysters to die, suffer more disease and increase predators in the Bay.
Press Release: Governor Scott's Office
TAMPA, FL – Today, Florida Governor Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the State of Florida has filed suit against Georgia to stop its unchecked and growing consumption of water that continues to harm the families of Northwest Florida.
Governor Rick Scott said, "Georgia has refused to fairly share the waters that flow between our two states, so to stop Georgia's unmitigated consumption of water we have brought the matter before the U.S. Supreme Court. Georgia's over-consumption of water threatens the existence of Apalachicola Bay and the future economic development of the region. Generations of Florida families have relied upon these waters for their livelihood, but now risk losing their way of life if Georgia's actions are not stopped. Through this historic legal action we are fighting for the future of Apalachicola Bay and its families. After 20 years of failed negotiations with Georgia, this is our only way forward in securing the economic future of Northwest Florida."
Attorney General Pam Bondi said, "I am proud to join Governor Scott in this fight to protect Florida's fair share of water from Georgia's over-consumption, which is devastating Apalachicola Bay's ecosystem."
Florida and Alabama have each sought relief from harm caused by reduced flows and increased Georgia consumption in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basins over the past 20 years through legal challenges, without success. Florida now proposes to address the problem squarely – an Original Action filed with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking injunctive relief against Georgia's unmitigated and unsustainable upstream consumption of water from the Chattahoochee and Flint River Basins.
Apalachicola River water levels are impacted by withdrawals from the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers at all times. The Metro-Atlanta area primarily obtains its water from the Chattahoochee River, with withdrawals totaling 360 million gallons per day. Georgia's consumption is expected to nearly double to approximately 705 million gallons per day by 2040, as Atlanta's population and associated water withdrawals grow unchecked. That estimated daily consumption represents the approximate water volume of the entire Apalachicola Bay on an annual basis.
Historically-low water levels brought about by Georgia's excessive consumption have caused oysters to die because of higher salinity, increased disease and predator intrusion in the Bay. Until recently, Apalachicola Bay accounted for approximately 10 percent of the nation's Eastern oyster supply. However, the oyster industry in Apalachicola collapsed in 2012 after years of reduced flows of freshwater into the Bay, leading Governor Scott to seek and obtain a Commercial Fisheries Disaster Declaration from the U.S. Department of Commerce earlier this year.
Press Release: Office of Governor Nathan Deal
August 13, 2013
After Florida Gov. Rick Scott said today that his state will sue Georgia in the U.S. Supreme Court over water use, Gov. Nathan Deal called the move a frivolous waste of time and money when Georgia has waited more than a year for Florida to respond to its latest settlement proposal.
"Gov. Scott's threat to sue my state in the U.S. Supreme Court greatly disappoints me after I negotiated in good faith for two years," Deal said. "More than a year ago, I offered a framework for a comprehensive agreement. Florida never responded. It's absurd to waste taxpayers' money and prolong this process with a court battle when I've proposed a workable solution. Georgia has made significant progress on water conservation and has proposed an agreement that would meet the needs of both states. While the timing seems to work for political purposes, it's ironic this comes at a time when Florida and Georgia are experiencing historically high rainfall. The fastest and best resolution is an agreement, not a lawsuit going into an election year. On the flip side, the merits of Georgia's arguments have consistently prevailed in federal court, and a victory in the U.S. Supreme Court would decide this issue in Georgia's favor once and for all."
Associated Press Release
Associated Press Release
APALACHICOLA, Fla. (AP) -- Florida Gov. Rick Scott says the state is going to sue the state of Georgia over its increased consumption of water that is limiting flow to the Apalachicola River.
Scott in a statement said Florida needed to take the drastic action because it has been unable to negotiate a settlement for the last decades on how to allocate water between Florida, Georgia and Alabama.
Florida's step is an escalation in years of litigation.
Florida has previously sued the Army Corps of Engineers, which manages the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river system. But a recent ruling went against Florida in its push to limit Georgia's withdrawals.
Florida's oyster industry has neared collapse in the last two years because of reduced water flow from the Apalachicola into the Gulf of Mexico and because of drought.

Opere's opus: Garcia Lorca in his native tongue
"I've been doing these plays for more than 20 years now," Fernando Operé explains, talking about the UVA Spanish Theater Group that he launched soon after he came to the U.S. from Spain in the late 1970s.
Opere is a professor in the Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese Languages and Literatures at UVA, and he has a history of involvement with the theater. He studied in Barcelona as a young man and worked in the Spanish Underground Theater Movement during the Franco Regime in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Perhaps it was struggling to create a space for performance then that makes him so committed now to continuing to introduce Spanish-language plays into the arts scene in Charlottesville. Opere is passionate about bringing drama to life for his students and for the Spanish-speaking community.
"We in North America are feeling the impact of the Hispanic world growing," Opere explains. "Charlottesville has two large Hispanic groups: people who have come here from Mexico and from El Salvador. It is hard to get these people to our plays, but it's important to continue to offer the opportunity."
Opere admits that the majority of the audience for the plays is UVA students and faculty, but each year the audiences become a bit larger, a bit more diverse, and a bit more receptive.
This year the group presents "Bodas de Sangre," a piece by Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca. Lorca is perhaps the most recognized Spanish dramatist and poet of the 20th century. This classic play is a three-act tragic drama exploring the themes of love, forbidden passion, and the uncontrollable forces of destiny.
Operé directs, and his students become the actors who bring the play to life. "There's an artistic purpose to what we're doing, but it's more than that," Operé insists. Producing the plays offers his students the opportunity to understand the text more completely and to practice their language skills.
"I've been told I'm wasting my time doing these plays," Operé says, "but I'm going to continue doing them. You have to do what you believe in."
"Bodas de Sangre" plays February 6-9 at the Helms Theater at UVA, 109 Culbreth Road. 8pm with 2pm matinees on February 8 and 9. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the UVA Spanish Department in Wilson Hall 112 or before each performance. $5-10. Contact Fernando Operé at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

BlackBerry unveiled its new touchscreen smartphone, the Z10, yesterday. And the reviews are already coming in.
Gizmodo's Mario Aguilar performed an initial low-light camera test with the Z10, and based on the results, he says it's "a complete failure."
Aguilar tested the Z10 against the iPhone 5, Nokia Lumia 920, and Samsung Galaxy S III in dark settings.
"The Z10 didn't even hold the dimmest, most-pathetic light to the other cameras in our test," Aguilar writes. "[...] It is an abject and miserable failure."
Head on over to Gizmodo to see just how "crummy" the Z10's camera is.

Topic: General Grievous' Origins got screwed up by the CW
I was browsing the updated version of the Cartoon Network/ Clone Wars when i came across this little piece of information in the Character Guide:
"A warlord from planet Kalee, General Grievous always wanted to be a Jedi, but lacked force sesitivity. Furious that his powers would never equal a Jedi's, Grievous vowed to destory the Order. He replaced his body parts with robotic limbs that give him super human strength and a agility. Now Grievous has the power to rival any Jedi."
(http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/starwars/index.html?episodeID=0 The quoted passage is in the Character Guide)
What a load of Crap! THIS is the real reason he had to have robotic parts welded on to him:
"Grievous' war record had attracted the attention of San Hill, Chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. His contacts within Count Dooku's growing Separatist movement had caught the scent of profound galactic change in the air, and Hill began looking for leverage and advantage in the inevitable civil war that was brewing. He saw in Grievous a valuable asset. In exchange for supporting Kalee's staggering debts incurred in the planet's war with the Huks, the Banking Clan bought Grievous' eternal services as an intimidator and warrior.
It was this strong warrior spirit that transformed into profound anger, embarrassment and outrage that he should be crippled by so mundane a fate. General Grievous -- decorated champion of the Kaleesh, vanquisher of so many Huk warlords, grinder of the enemy's bones -- was fatally injured in a shuttle crash.
With his ally Poggle the Lesser, San Hill had targeted Grievous' shuttle for sabotage resulting in a terrible accident. Suspended in bacta, Grievous' shattered form was kept alive. He had not met an ignoble end; he was not cheated of a warrior's death. The technological wizards of the Banking Clan and the Geonosian foundries rebuilt him. They then presented their cyborg killer to Count Dooku as a gift."
All of this is from the SW databank and completly legit. (http://starwars.com/databank/character/ … index.html)
Is this the reason why General Grivious sucks so much in the series?
Is this what David Filoni considers the General to be? A whiny alien from a backwater planet who wanted to be a jedi? but couldent?

Cary News: Sports
Apex's Yarem goes the distance in win against Fuquay-Varina baseball
If Apex is going to do some damage in the state baseball playoffs later this spring, the Cougars will have to ride the arms of their starting pitchers.
On Thursday night, Apex rode starter Alex Yarem to a 3-2 victory over Fuquay-Varina as Yarem pitched a complete game and drove in what proved to be the winning run.
The senior right-hander ran his record to 4-1 as he struck out five while giving up only four hits and two unearned runs. His sacrifice fly in the third plated the Cougars' third run, and that held up despite a shaky fifth inning.
"I like a lot of our parts," Apex coach Mike Valder said. "We don't necessarily have a dominant pitching staff, but we have a pitching staff that's dominant with experience. Any given night, all three of them give us a chance.
"I'd like to think that once we get swinging, that we could be really contenders. But I know also that it's a long year, and I know that sometimes you've got to win ugly. I'll take an ugly win versus a tough loss."
Yarem and fellow seniors Carter Hicks and Chase Denison make for a solid starting rotation that has helped make up for some offensive deficiencies. Apex (8-7, 6-2) managed only one hit against Fuquay's Jordan Bissette, but that hit came in the crucial third.
A walk, a hit batsman, and an error loaded the bases, and the Cougars scored their first run when Esteban Valencia was hit by another pitch. Ben Highfill then rifled a single to right for a 2-0 lead, and Yarem followed with his sac fly.
"Of late, we've been scrappy," Yarem said. "We find some way to produce runs. There was a sac fly, there was a good hit by Ben and a hit by pitch. I've got to attribute that to coaching. He tells us to take pitches and be picky. Yes, we're a scrappy team."
Otherwise, Bissette was dominant, striking out five and not allowing a runner past second in every inning but the third.
"We've had trouble scoring runs all year," Bengals coach Milton Senter said. "It just magnifies things when somebody puts three up there like that."
Neither team has hit the ball well lately, but while Apex has won its last three one-run games, Fuquay (6-8, 3-4) has lost its last four, all by two runs or less.
"What happens over the year when you don't score a lot of runs, is (when) you get in those situations, you feel that little pressure," Senter said. "I'm afraid we feel that a little bit. What we need is to rack out four or five hits in a row, and everybody will relax, and we'll be OK. Maybe that'll happen (Friday against Holly Springs).
"We need a win. Our feeling is if we can get in the playoffs, we can be a good team in the playoffs because we have good pitching. But we've got to get in."
The Cougars seem well on their way, as Thursday's win kept them within reach of first-place Green Hope in the Southwest Wake Athletic Conference.
"If we get lucky and they drop one or two, I hope we take first in the conference," Yarem said. "That'd be awesome."
If Yarem pitches the way he did Thursday, Apex's chances look good.
"I really thought I hit my spots well, especially with the top of their lineup," Yarem said. "The top five, I really wanted to get through with some good pitches. My curveball was definitely on point tonight, and I spotted that well, too. I definitely thought I threw that well and got a lot of outs with it."

American Meadows
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
You have entered an invalid zip code, please check your zip code and try again.
Plant the "Madeira" Canna in spring and it will bloom in mid summer through fall. Gardeners in areas that receive frost will want to dig the bulbs up at the end of the season and store them for the winter.
Growing Cannas, large and small. Canna lilies are wonderful in the garden. Growing fast, the full size selections quickly form a handsome large-leafed screen or an island of tropical-looking foliage from about 3 to 4 feet tall. And then the show begins, and goes on for weeks and weeks. Huge, iris-like flowers begin to open, and before you know it, your canna lily plants have become the undisputed center of attention in your entire yard.
Cannas are really wetland plants, and can grow in moist ground. Constant wetness isn't necessary, but yous should water them often if you;re not receiving regular rainfall. A snap to grow, cannas are used as municipal plantings in many places like Miami. They are so good at taking care of themselves, adding great stripes of color to median strips, parks, and other places. So pick out a sunny spot in your garden or yard, and add cannas for the big show this summer.
Our good friend, Jack Scheper, the plant expert who runs Floridata.com, tells us that cannas are native to Central and South America, and many of the current hybrids also have a North American species as a parent. Jack grows cannas, and is a big enthusiast. As he says, the foliage "looks like a small banana tree without the trunk."

Samsung Galaxy R (GT-I9103) getting ICS very soon according to Samsung India
Seems like busy Q3 of 2012 for Samsung. Many devices announced earlier this year will be getting ICS love. Curious to see how this will roll out with Jelly Beanon behind the corner, and only Samsung Galaxy S III with ICS 4.0.4 at the moment.

If you are aware of the basis as a something, then you immediately fall into samsara. This is the problem with using the term awareness for rig pa.
Tashi delek,
- If Awareness of the Natural State is seen, with a non-egocentric mind, then this does belong to Fruition Rigpa. Fruition Rigpa is Awareness that has had a direct and stable experience of Emptiness.
- The mind of karma has an ego-centric mind, this does belong to path Rigpa. Path Rigpa has a mind which has intellectually understood emptiness and here does Rigpa mean, Inteligence.
Here is for me clear that Rigpa can be understood with the inteligence and the related knowledge OR be experienced which means to be Aware of the Natural State.
Aware of that Natural State is not seeing that State as done with object and subject. So here is hardly seen a memory based on the Alaya.
One special thing of the Natural State is that the Wisdom is self-emanating and is not caused like we know with an object and subject.
Emptiness is like we should know a not born case. So it is always without interruption there, but how do we experience that Awareness which is Yermed with Emptiness. Is it intelectual Rigpa or Awareness Rigpa?
I can imagin myself that intelectual Rigpa can never be Aware or experience the lights of the 4 / 6 Lamps..........
Best wishes

Hi so my boyfriend's dream was to have a lifesize statue made of himself in chocolate or cheese. Cheese is out of the question for me and I was wondering if I could maybe have a miniature chocolate statue made in his image (A few inches tall). Any ideas where I would find some place that can make and ship something like that to California?

It's the dead time of the NFL off-season. Usually this means that there is no real news and message board fans and sports talk radio shows spend this time beating each other up over theoretical NFL topics Of Great Concern.
People have asked me about the contract extensions of Gary Kubiak and Rick Smith. I'm good with it. There is no salary cap for non-player expenses, and it ain't my money.
Right now, your Houston Texans may have one of the best coaching staffs from top to bottom in the league. People pay a lot of attention to head coaches, and a lesser degree to offensive and defensive coordinators. But having an entire staff that is all on the same page as far as teaching and philosophy allows the coaching staff to focus on coaching and not trying to fix or figure out everyone's job.
It takes time usually to pull a staff together. Teams don't have to release assistants from under contracts. Slowly over time, the Texans have got coaches that fit what they are trying to do.
They haven't skimped on coaches in the past. Mike Sherman, Alex Gibbs likely were paid well to spend some time with the Texans. But Rick Dennison was Kubiak's first choice to be offensive coordinator, and was able to discover the Texans running game. Wade Phillips fits so well as a defensive coordinator, in Houston, everybody believes he needs (some day later versus sooner) to retire as Texans DC.
Kubiak's Win/Loss Record.
The argument against Kubiak's extension is that his win/loss record is very average. This is true. It is also true that he's not like Jon Gruden inheriting an already terrific team. He came to a team without a quarterback, with one of the worst offenses and defenses in the league.
Kubiak, being an offensive-minded head coach, was able to fix the offensive side of the ball first, and pretty much develop a quarterback from scratch. I read somewhere the opinion that Kubiak has a "mediocre resume" but I don't think too many incoming head coaches have three Super Bowl rings with two different teams.
I wish my resume were that mediocre.
The reason for the depression of Kubiak's win/loss record were his terrible, terrible defenses. Sometimes I was stunned they won as many games as they did with a defense that was never higher than the bottom third of the league. He went through two defensive coordinators before Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did the Texans a favor and fired Wade Phillips as head coach.
So the blame argument goes: It is on Kubiak and Smith that they didn't hire a proven defensive coordinator earlier. Perhaps. But I watched those firings and hirings as closely as anyone. And I can't say that modern pass-happy NFL has been very kind to defensive coordinators. Many of the names floated for the Texans defensive coordinator position during hiring time were fired from the jobs they ended up getting.
And eek, how about those who teeth gnashed that the Texans didn't hire Gregg Williams?
Assembling as Staff.
Instead of judging the Kubiak/Smith extensions now based on being unhappy about coordinator choices in the past, why not focus on the now and the future? They've assembled their staff. They have established philosophies on both sides of the ball and know what players suit what they do.
As for the off-season moves and cap management, I'm guessing the season and time will judge these decisions. Can this staff coach up the new players and preserve the old players for this upcoming season?
Kubiak with a Shorter Term than Smith.
Bob McNair said he offered a longer term for the head coach, but Kubiak rejected that. What is there to make with Rick Smith having a contract that ends in 2016 and Gary Kubiak having one that ends in 2014 at Kubiak's preference? Hard to say. Maybe Kubiak hasn't liked the trend of lame duck coaches who stay under contract while their assistance go elsewhere because their head coach is dead man walking. See e.g. John Fox with the Panthers, Jack Del Rio with the Jaguars.
And maybe he believes he can make more money that way.
I will say that if the team plays poor enough that Bob McNair wants to get rid of Gary Kubiak, I don't want Rick Smith to stay around longer. The main reason why Smith made any sense with the Texans was as someone who knew what Kubiak needed/wanted for the team. The Kubiak/Smith pairing made some sense given how Charley Casserly and Dom Capers were so at odds with personnel decisions that the coach didn't want to play some guys, and Casserly would bad mouth picks that the coaches wanted.
Ultimately, the Texans players play hard for Kubiak, even when they weren't playing smart. And the players like and respect him, though anyone who believes he's soft on players hasn't been to many practices. Often his biggest supporters have been players that were at one time in Kubiak's doghouse.
So I guess, no, Texans owner Bob McNair didn't have to extend either one of these guys. There have been coaches/GMs put in lame duck situations. But he's the guy writing the checks. And accepting the consequences of the contracts. And believing in the philosophy of continuity, that has worked for some teams, not so much for others. And he's the guy that has far more one-on-one dealings with Kubiak and Smith than most everyone other than their family members.
Your thoughts? You know where to put them. [Update: I just noticed that I wrote so much that my "brief note" promised in the headline wasn't so brief. Oops].

Made with Prima Loft technology which means a floss technology. Water resistant, warm and windproof. More: The isolating material is a so called short-threaded synthetic type. Protected with a unique patent, the polyester threads model synthetic floss which is then treated with DWR. These specialy treated threads make the PrimaLoft isolation very warm and it can be compressed very good yet it is still very light even wet because it doesn't absorb humidity and therefore doesn't change in properties. The principle of operation is like the flosses but it is not made out of polyester instead of horn and therefore it is hydrophobic. The big surface can keep much air which is warmed by the body's heat. Because of the great surface the isolation won't let the air and so the body cool down and conserves the body's heat.

Pierce County Explorer Search and Rescue helped support the White River 50 mile run on Saturday. There were about 260 runners across a 50-mile course from 6:00 am until 8:00 pm. ESAR was stationed at every check point and ensured the runners safety by ensuring each runner was accounted for, as well as providing communications and onsite first-aide.
ESAR was called out Sunday afternoon June 29 to search for a 47 year old man with some known health issues, last seen at 2200 hours the previous night. Two teams searched the subject's neighborhood, knocking on doors and talking with residents to try and establish clues on where the subject might have gone. A third team drove roads south of the neighborhood. In total, 16 ESAR members responded.
ESAR was called by Grays Harbor county to help search for a missing 63YO Female, missing since 1700 on May 28. She left her house to walk a nearby trail, which she does multiple times each week. Subject saw mushrooms off the trail, went to pick them, then got disoriented and couldn't find her way back.
Citizens reported seeing a 10- to 12-year-old light-skinned African American male wandering the streets in boxer shorts and a tank top. Deputies called ESAR and GSSD to search for the subject due to concern for his safety in the cold weather. 6 ESAR teams searched the area from WA-512 north to 92nd, between Steele and Pacific Ave. Deputies called off the search at 0030 and debriefed.
20 ESAR personnel responded, including 2 of our current trainees.
Jan 30 at 1400, ESAR was called to search for 2 missing teen boys who were 20 hours overdue from getting firewood in Wilkeson. After discovering their truck south of Bonney Lake, 2 ESAR Hasty teams were sent to check trails in the woods. 3 other teams were being prepared for dispatch when the teens were discovered to have walked out on their own. After collecting the firewood, they went 4-wheeling before returning home, got stuck, and spent the night in the truck before hiking out.
16 ESAR personnel responded.
After failing to return to his car by nightfall, a hiker decided it was time to call for help. He was able to make his way up to a ridge where he found cell service and made the call to 911. He described his position over the phone and resources from GSSD, ESAR, and 4x4 SAR were dispatched.

Sour note: Harley factories ban music
A leaked corporate memo has workers buzzing. No, not the Yahoo order for telecommuters to move into the office. It's a new edict at Harley-Davidson:
No more music on the factory floors.
Like many manufacturers around the country, the motorcycle maker has decided that headphones, boom boxes and piped-in music get in the way of plant safety and productivity.
Harley-Davidson officers said music had proved to be a distraction from the work at hand and a potential hazard.
The order includes the Kansas City plant.
Irv Robinson, owner of Robbie Fantastic Flexibles, a plant in Lenexa that makes printed plastic packaging, is in full accord with the new Harley rule.
"We don't allow music," Robinson said. "It's a safety problem. And we make our guys wear earplugs anyway. We can't add to the existing noise."
Other major manufacturing operations allow music in some form. At the General Motors Fairfax plant in Kansas City, Kan., for example, workers can't wear headphones, but they can play small radios at low volume — low enough that sounds won't override plant-wide information. Ford declined to comment on the policies in its plants, one of which is in Claycomo.
The music issue crops up in offices and stores as well as factories. When music is allowed in the workplace, it sometimes causes co-worker clashes because tastes differ. So, too, do workers' abilities to tune out distractions.
Bothering co-workers with your own musical tastes "could be considered like smoking — you're affecting those around you," said Connie Russell, an area leadership coach and consultant. "You want to be respectful to others."
Music listeners point out that with headphones, music doesn't have to be shared. But headphones are safety impediments if music drowns out the sounds of machinery or announcements that workers need to hear.
The Harley ban prompted a flurry of online postings from workers who argued that music helps break up the monotony of work and helped morale.
Researchers have reported that music both helps and hurts productivity. Generally, classical or other music without lyrics gets a green light. One study even concluded that cows give more milk when listening to classical music.
But louder music, especially with lyrics, has been found to impair concentration on the job. That was especially true in workplaces where different kinds of music vied for dominance or when co-workers disagreed about choices.

We just got back from a "day trip" to Rhode Island to see Maureen Taylor, Megan Smolenyak, and Marian Pierre-Louis in Providence RI. They were great.
On the way to Rhode Island, we found the Cemetery where my wife's great-grandmother was buried. Found the plot, with the help of the Cemetery Office, found the headstone with no problem at all.
On the headstone was the name of a Son-In-Law, but the name and dates were not on the headstone of the great-grandmother, so we ordered the name and dates to be added. This was Friday. On the way home on Sunday, we stopped back, and the name had been put onto the stone. Happy Dance around here all weekend.
The cemetery gave us the Internment Record for the two people in the plot. One for the Son-In-Law, the other person in that plot, Internment Record was a Cause of Death, "Ciortic ancussion". A Google search suggested that the words were typed incorrectly. So a "status" was posted on Face Book, got lots of responses, all with the same conclusion about the Typo. I said from the beginning that I had to find another source of the Cause of Death.
That is where the Genealogy Gems Podcast comes in. In my email box was a Newsletter that Lisa Louise Cook sends out. In this weeks newsletter was 3 questions. The third was:
Question 3: What's a quick way to find a funeral home located near an ancestor's home?
GEM: Check out www.iMortuary.com
Went to that website, browsed to the town where the cemetery is located. Low and behold one of the Funeral Home names, was the SAME name as the Undertaker's Surname on the Internment Record. An email has already been sent to the Funeral Home. Can't wait to see the response from the Funeral Home.
