Bulldogs fall 11-10 in battle of former conference foes
The Adrian College men's lacrosse team fell 11-10 in Wednesday night's non-conference back-and-forth battle against Concordia University (Wis.) at Docking Stadium.
After a surging comeback in the third quarter, the Bulldogs (4-2) battled tough to keep the game within reach. With just over one minute left in the contest, the Falcons (6-2) found the back of the net with a wraparound goal, breaking the 10-10 tie.
"We didn't play for 60 minutes today," said Adrian coach Don LaSala. "We had times where we played well, but more times where we struggled, and that won't get you a win against a quality team."
Adrian had its chance to tie the game and force overtime, but the one good scoring opportunity went wide right as the clock ticked down to zeroes.
The game started with both teams playing stellar defense. Adrian controlled the ball for most of the first quarter, but the Falcons found ways to make if difficult on the Bulldogs.
With the Falcons crowding the middle defensively, the Bulldogs became patient with the ball, passing frequently and looking for a breakdown in the defense. With just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter, the Bulldogs found the back of the net after a running cross-net goal by Tom Thielman.
The Bulldogs would then struggle offensively with turnovers and short possessions. Concordia would do the opposite, as it found an offensive rhythm and scored the game's next four goals.
Adrian did not find the net again until there was just over six minutes left in the half. Mitch Burgin scored unassisted to bring the score to 4-2. However, the Falcons would immediately end the Bulldogs' momentum with a breakaway goal just 30 seconds later.
The remaining five minutes of the half saw great defense from both sides. With neither team finding the net, the Falcons went into the half ahead 5-2.
The start of the third quarter gave a spark to the Bulldogs, as their offense began clicking on all cylinders. The first goal of the half came with 10 minutes left by Burgin. Eric Fannell scored 17 seconds later, and Adrian added two more within a minute from Thielman and Burgin, giving the Bulldogs four goals in less than two minutes. Adrian took a quick 6-5 lead and made things interesting.
"We played hard," LaSala said about the Bulldogs' four-goal burst. "That was the only time we played extremely hard and stayed aggressive."
Concordia did not let the Bulldog hot streak crush its spirits. The Falcons would not be down for long, tying the game with six minutes remaining in the third and taking back the lead 10 seconds later with the Bulldogs down a man.
The Bulldogs then came right back as Thielman shot a laser into the back of the net, tying the game at 7 with five minutes left in the third.
The fourth quarter was set up to come down to the wire. The Falcons opened up the fourth with two goals in the first seven minutes. The Bulldogs closed the gap to 9-8 with 7:56 left on Brendan Harvey's goal.
The two teams, who used to be conference rivals in the Midwest Lacrosse Conference, would then trade goals with Fannell scoring for the Bulldogs with four minutes left, closing the gap to 10-9.
The remainder of the game had everyone on the edge of their seats. Burgin buried a goal with just under two minutes left to tie the game at 10. The Bulldogs were unable to complete the comeback, as the Falcons hit the game-winner with 1:12 remaining.
Burgin led the Bulldogs with four goals and two assists. Thielman finished with three goals, and Fannell added two goals with an assist. Adrian goalkeeper Kevin Lerg recorded seven saves.
Adrian outshot Concordia 39-25 and posted a 34-17 advantage in groundballs.

By the swimming pool - Brigitte Bardot top and miniskirt
Added May 30, 2013
by Irina Schwab
Aylesbury, Unite...
The second outfit created for the holiday consists of the peasant / Brigitte Bardot top gathered round neck, arms and waist and a self drafted miniskirt.
Both pieces were made from just over a meter of soft summery fabric in geometric print.
The top follows pattern 124 in Burda Style magazine 6/2011, with satin bias binding finishing. The skirt is made from the fabric remnant and started off as a rectangle.
I added lace at the top and 3-4 of of elastic using the shirring technique. It really takes less than an hour o make and there are no zips involved, the skirt can be simply slipped on, over the bikini.
A quick and easy holiday project!

I know it is not current, but some of the greatest design I have seen on my travels and or researching on the Internet for London was done by a comany named Templar Downie and promots local historical heros.
The "Local Heroes" campaign devised by Templar Downie extended to Green Park, where the focus was on such UK historical figures as Sir Isaac Newton, Wellington and Queen Victoria.

Greg Lee #6 - lead vocals Alex Desert #7 - lead vocals Deston Berry - piano, vocals Raul Talavera - alto sax David Hillyard - tenor sax David Fuentes - bass Dennis Wilson -- guitar Greg Narvas - Drums
Visit : Official Band Site
The fans were crushed. In 2000, Hepcat, widely considered the premiere ska/rocksteady band in America, suddenly disbanded only weeks before the release of their latest record. There was no explanation. Greg Lee, one of the two lead singers, moved to Costa Rica. Alex Desert, the other, was busy as an actor filming Becker for CBS. And just like that, 11 years of making music together came to a stand still. After three years of silent response to the pleas of fans and well after most had given up hope, something happened. Everyone thumbing through the LA Weekly came face to face with a huge, black and white newsprint, smoking cat - HEPCAT LIVE AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES, 7/16/03. Without any warning, they were back.
The original lineup stood backstage together, peering through the curtain at the sold out house, excited and restless, when the faceless voice announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back LA's very own HEPCAT!" The room exploded. Some were cheering. Some were jumping up and down. Some were even crying. And with that, Hepcat began their emotional two plus hour set and history was changed.
Fans have a long history with the band. Hepcat was formed in 1989 by vocalist Greg Lee and vocalist/keyboardist Deston Berry, two unassuming reggae aficionados with modest aspirations. Their first album Out of Nowhere was released on Moon Records in 1993 and instantly became a classic ska record for every collector. Their second album Scientific was released in 1996 on BYO Records and drew further praise. Tours of North America and Europe solidified Hepcat's reputation on the international ska and reggae scene.
With its reputation exploding to mythic proportions, the band inked a deal with Hellcat/Epitaph Records, co-owned by Brett Gurewitz and Tim Armstrong of Rancid, the latter of who says "Hepcat possesses a devotion to the classic stylings of reggae and ska that is unparalleled. There are few bands more knowledgeable about reggae -- when we took Hepcat to Jamaica to jam on some Rancid tracks, it was like they had lived there... they knew about every person, place, and studio in the Kingston scene. Hepcat are true scholars in this type of music."
Their third album Right On Time was released in 1998 on Hellcat/Epitaph Records and went on to become the most successful album to date both in terms of sales and critical acclaim. Co-produced by Stoker (drummer for General Public and Dexy's Midnight Runners and producer of The Specials and Dance Hall Crashers), Right On Time features 13 tracks of authentic sounding ska, reggae, rocksteady, R&B, and jazz, all delivered with a youthful fervor that is both humble and irreverent. Yet despite their maverick approach, it would be a grave injustice to pigeonhole Hepcat as just another ska band. There is a timeless quality that transcends labels and trends which succeeds in making Right On Time essential listening.
Time Magazine agreed and placed Hepcat's "Right On Time" seventh on their Top Ten Albums of 1998. Through heavy critical acclaim touting their authenticity and class, as well as endless international touring, Hepcat built a rabid following. Anyone who watches this band perform will attest to the group's cross cultural appeal. Hepcat have had great success playing the festivals, which include the UK Reading Festival, Holland's Lowlands, Germany's Bizarre, Italy's Independent Day, multiple reggae festivals, as well as European, Australian, and American Warped Tours. They try to keep it interesting by playing with widely varying types of acts -- everything from Ben Harper to Rancid to The Skatalites.
As the Hepcat sound evolved, work of mouth spread quickly and the band's performances began attracting a more diverse audience. Rastas, skatepunks, swingers, rude boys, mods, and latin jazz fans are among the fans who unite to savor the band's sunny Caribbean melodies, soulful harmonies, and swing inflected rhythms. "There are lots of different types of people who show up at our gigs," says saxophonist Efren Santana. "You'll see a bunch of rude boys, a bunch of skaters, and a bunch of regular people and older fans who just love the music. It's cool how everyone can enjoy it at the same time."
In the fall of 1999, the group began recording Push N Shove. "We were running pretty hard," says Hepcat's cool frontman Greg Lee. "We went through a lot of trials as a band, like any other band does. But all the while we kept pushing toward one goal, which was ripening this Hepcat sound. We have all these songs where we talk about problems, but you've got to keep keepin' on. Hepcat's underlying theme throughout all these years has been about perseverance, keeping ourselves focused, and keeping the love there."
It's ironic that Hepcat's first record Out of Nowhere, (out of print for years), is being re-released on Epitaph this year. The band decided to dust off the old reels and even found some old recordings that predated their first full length release to add to the new printing. With new pages of liner notes, old photos, and some previously unheard recordings, Hepcat will release a historical and personal record this March, 2004.

The situation in Ukraine is quickly deteriorating; today, Ukraine's President Viktor F. Yanukovych went on sick leave. He takes time off due to a respiratory illness and high temperature. There is no indication of how long he will be absent.
The neighboring country is in turmoil especially, the big cities. Western powers fully supporting the anti-government protests; prominent western politicians regularly visiting the country encouraging anti-government demonstrations. The goal is to set up a puppet government in Ukraine controlled by forces running the EU, NATO and other globalist organizations.
The ultimate goal is to encircle Russia before it can emerge as a major force that might lead the charge against worldwide globalization efforts by occult forces.

Seeing all the sights and sounds of Disney with a four-year-old is really special. His eyes would light up when he would see a character that he knew, especially those that didn't have big, heavy costumes and could actually talk with him. He was even a bit shy with several of the princesses that he met, which was just adorable.
The Electrical Light Parade at the Magic Kingdom was quite possibly his favorite part of the entire trip. Between the music that seemingly dates back to the first time I saw the parade many years ago and the familiar characters, he had a huge grin on his face the whole time, and so the grown-ups in our family.
The Tomorrowland Speedway at Magic Kingdom was probably a close second to the Toy Story Mania ride - especially because the munchkin could actually steer the little car, which ran on a track so even with his limited steering skills, no one would get hurt. A grown-up had to ride with him to reach the gas pedal, but he had so much fun driving!

Police said Sunday they have arrested six suspects in another gang rape of a bus passenger in India, four weeks after a brutal attack on a student on a moving bus in the capital outraged Indians and led to calls for tougher rape laws.
Police officer Raj Jeet Singh said a 29-year-old woman was the only passenger on a bus as she was traveling to her village in northern Punjab state on Friday night. The driver refused to stop at her village despite her repeated pleas and drove her to a desolate location, he said.
There, the driver and the conductor took her to a building where they were joined by five friends and took turns raping her throughout the night, Singh said.
The driver dropped the woman off at her village early Saturday, he said.

Dear Editor;
Hero or Felon?
When CNN acclaimed Robin Lim (a former Iowan) as the "Hero of the Year" on December 11, 2011, midwives and mothers the world over rejoiced. "Mother Robin" earned the title for her humanitarian work in Indonesia, where she has founded two midwife-staffed health clinics providing maternity care without charge. In her acceptance, Lim poignantly stated, "Today on our earth, 981 mothers in the prime of life will die, and tomorrow again, and yesterday. And I'm asking you to help change that."
Ironically, the very practice of midwifery which has gained Lim international renown could have landed her a court case with charges of felony had she been reported for practicing midwifery in Iowa, her home base of many years. That's because Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) such as Lim are not allowed licensure within the state, and thus are charged with practicing medicine without a license-despite the fact that the CPM credential has been proven for its safety and excellence, and is already the standard of midwifery licensure for many other states nationwide.
It makes sense why midwives would be needed in the developing world, where healthcare costs can be prohibitive. In fact, the World Health Organization itself champions the cause of midwifery in developing countries. What many people don't realize is that midwifery care, with its personalized approach, saves lives even in Western nations. The United States is a far cry from the safest place on Earth to give birth, according to statistics. Those nations which best outdo us-mainly in Europe, as well as Japan-utilize midwifery care for 70% of all births.
Iowa-born and educated midwifery champion and matriarch Ina May Gaskin has proven the benefits of midwifery care in her practice in Tennessee. Gaskin, who is a world-renowned author and speaker, has been providing midwifery services for four decades at The Farm Midwifery Center. The center's statistics for over 2,000 births have been excellent, with low rates of anesthesia use, forceps deliveries, and episiotomies; and a Cesarean rate of less than two percent-phenomenal in a country with an alarming nationwide c-section rate of 32% (two to three times the number that WHO deems safe and beneficial).
In an interview following the CNN award ceremony, Robin Lim was asked what she hoped would come out of the honor given her. In addition to sharing her plans for building a new clinic in Indonesia, Lim stated, "I'm hoping that midwives all over the world get this kind of support. The midwives of the world really need your help, so that they can be the bridge to safe motherhood for so many mothers."
And so I ask: Which way is it-and how should it be? Are midwives such as Lim heroes-or felons? America at large has given its answer in voting Robin Lim a hero. Will the states still prohibiting the practice of midwifery take the cue and support the cause? According to CNN's hero, "We can save lives together-mothers and babies." If you agree, get in touch with Friends of Iowa Midwives (www.friendsofiowamidwives.org/). Midwives enrich and save lives!

AMEN! It isn't the parent or doctors right
to 'assign' a gender to an intersex child...

Sounds "right on" to me with the exception of circumcision. Having spent many years caring for older uncircumcised men, big problems can develop later in life. So, circumcision may be an option to take off the "mutilation" list. I suspect that some faith traditions may feel the same way!

Stephen that is what the organization fights for so I couldn't take it off their list. Also, I happen to feel strongly against circumcision myself, I believe it is genital mutilation, and a form of child abuse. We were made with foreskins, it is unnatural to take them away. If an adult chooses to undergo circumcision that is their right, but I don't believe in forcing it upon a child.

"Having spent many years caring for older uncircumcised men, big problems can develop later in life." - L. Stephen
So you are advocating amputating healthy tissue from a new born boy because he might develop some problem seven or eight decades later?
"I suspect that some faith traditions may feel the same way!"
Golly thanks for reminding us (I like the exclamation point the most). Would there be the same "faith traditions" renown for homophobia and rigid, binary, patriarchal gender roles? - L. Stephen

Anything can happen to anybody later in life - so what do you do with older women... clean them or sew up their vagina's?
By the way isn't that part of your job, when you take care of older men or women?

I am always taken back when fellow gay bloggers react with such anger toward a fellow gay blogger. Gee folks, I was just putting out a different point of view. No need to take it personally or attack me.
I am glad this practice will remain a personal decision between the medical practioner and the parent and/or person involved. I am not persuaded by any of the above arguments. Even more so now!

Different viewpoints are healthy and make the world go round. I disagree with you on this issue, but it is important to have many minds analyze these controversial topics.

Agreed but personal attacks are not fun. I certainly did not suggest to any blogger that we sew up older women's vagina's nor did I suggest that circumcision was a good solution to all older men's problems. I have probably cleaned up more older men than anyone on this blog. That was my job for many years. I just saw older men suffering because of infections and inflammation. So I asked readers to consider both sides of the issue. I think you at QU call that a "different viewpoint". As a professor, I am very familiar with healthy dialogue. But I deplore personal attacks. They do not feel good and discourage healthy dialogue.

" So I asked readers to consider both sides of the issue."
Actually L. Stephen all you offered was some vague anecdotal evidence about elderly men. Your comments showed no analysis of alternatives to circumcision which would prevent the "older men suffering because of infections and inflammation". I expect more form an alleged professor. You also failed to address as one person noted the same issue in women and how your surgical solution applies to infants.
You describe circumcision as "a personal decision between the medical practioner and the parent and/or person involved". How is it "personal decision" if a parent or doctor forces an elective surgery on an infant? Again you entirely avoid this key issue.
Since you note you are gay, it is further galling to see a gay man invoke religious superstitions. I doubt you react well when those exact same "faith traditions" are invoked to justify homophobia and violence.

I support Students for Genital Integrity and their position statement 100%. All children male, female and intersex need legal protection from adults who have genital prejudice against normal and natural variations of genitals. Adults who were cut as children are often not aware of the damage this does, and are psychologically impelled to perpetrate this crime on others.
People who advocate FOR circumcision of children are not acting in any child's best interest. If an adult is fully informed and wishes to have their OWN genitals cut for what ever reason (personal, sexual, religious) that's their business. However adults who use faulty reasoning and illogical excuses to cut the genitals of children (or promote the cutting of children) need to be held accountable for what quite simply falls under the legal definition of Aggravated Sexual Assault.

A small group of 4-H members went hunting Monday morning, using the global positioning system on a smartphone to guide the search.
"We're going to find the geocache?" questioned first-year member Maddox Riffey. "Here?"
Eyes wide, he wanted to know, "will there be money?"
Jarod DeWeese, guiding the hunt, explained they would be looking for a metal ammo box containing 4-H memorabilia and other items. If they were successful, they could open the box, check the contents, take an item only if they had something to replace it with, and then hide it better, in the same location.
The cache was hidden at the Pratt County Fairgrounds in 2006 and had been found previously in February of this year.
The small band set out, undaunted by light rain and a smattering of hail, and in a short time, found their prize, logged the find and re-stashed it among fallen trees and brush.
There are more than 2 million active geocaches and more than 5 million geocachers worldwide, according to geocaching.com
The activity was held on what was scheduled to be a spring holiday for both schools; however Pratt students were in class, making up a snow day. DeWeese and Matthew Giles led a session on rocketry and robotics.
Taylor DeWeese and MaKala Orler took charge in the kitchen, helping younger members prepare cookies and cupcakes to deliver to area businesses and individuals who support the 4-H program. The group also prepared pizza for lunch.

TCL Multimedia Launches Google Super-Smart TV MoVo
Becomes the First Television Enterprise to Launch the Google TV
Jan 09, 2013, 07:21 ET
HONG KONG, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL Multimedia Technology Holdings Limited ("TCL Multimedia" or "the Group", HKSE stock code: 01070) is pleased to announce that TCL and the world's leading semiconductor chip manufacturer Marvell jointly launched Google Super-Smart TV MoVo at the 46th Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas, the United States of America. This move makes the Group the first television enterprise in China to launch the integrated TV sets of Google TV.
Based on Google's powerful search engine and combining TCL's proprietarily developed PBO (Personal Box Office, commonly known as the "Lazy TV") innovative technology, MoVo can automatically identify a user with its motion sensor-transmitter and proactively comprehend the user's preference by analyzing his behavior and habit. Its content recommendation engine can integrate the user analysis and its content searching module to recommend automatically exciting content that accommodates the user's preference. In so doing the user can enjoy a real "Lazy TV" super smart experience without operating a remote control or initiating voice recognition. This better serves the current needs of busy consumers and brings TVs back to the centre of home entertainment.
Ms. Weili Dai, co-founder of Marvell, said, "As the world's leading semiconductor chip manufacturer, we provide customers with critical core components and modules. Our cooperation with the world's leading home appliance brand TCL this time has been progressing very smoothly. We look forward to kicking start all-round cooperations with TCL on product development and business development in the future, and explore new models of cooperation together."
TCL Multimedia has always been committed to research and development of Internet TV. In as early as 2010, TCL launched in China the first Internet LCD TV based on Android operating system. The launch of Google TV MoVo this time marks a major breakthrough by TCL in research and development of Internet Smart TV. This will have a significant impact on the future development of smart TV in China.
Mr. Li Dongsheng, Chairman of TCL, said, "The development of smart TV in the future will call for more powerful network services and interactive functions to meet personalized needs of consumers. Through our strategic cooperation with the world's leading high technology companies, especially Marvell, Google, and other IT enterprises, the Group plays an active role in rapid growth of the smart TV industry. The cooperative partnership of TCL with Marvell this time will allow us to complement each other, and helps enhance core competences in products to achieve a win-win situation."

There are two separate movies going on in "Promised Land." One of them is an earnest anti-fracking drama that tries very hard to avoid seeming preachy and doesn't manage the trick. The other is a sympathetic and unexpectedly nuanced portrait of small-town America at the crossroads of the past and future. That one doesn't win out, but it's a beaut while you're watching.
The former is written by costars Matt Damon and John Krasinski, working from a story by novelist Dave Eggers; the latter comes to us through the individual performances and the observant directorial eye of Gus Van Sant. Damon plays Steve Butler, a hard-driving salesman for a natural gas company who arrives in the (fictional) town of McKinley, Pa., with his partner, Sue (Frances McDormand). They promise the local farmers untold riches in exchange for leasing their land to the company's deep-shale drills.
It looks like an easy sale, once Steve has tamped down the bribe-happy expectations of a politico (Joe Coyle). At a pro forma town meeting, though, an elderly farmer named Frank Yates — surprise, he's a retired Boeing engineer played by Hal Holbrook — raises the specter of environmental devastation and spiking cancer rates, and soon a green activist named Dustin Noble (Krasinski) is prowling the back roads, rousing the locals and posting photos of dead cows everywhere.
The screenplay wants to stoke the growing backlash against hydraulic fracturing — which involves pumping fluid laced with chemical additives deep into rock layers — and fuel the debate about energy consumption and environmental damage. Honestly, though, Van Sant doesn't seem all that interested. For him, "Promised Land" seems like an excuse to remind moviegoers that small towns are populated by individuals of varying hearts and minds rather than the clichés of TV ads.
Heartfelt agenda aside, "Promised Land" is mostly about belonging. Steve fled his own little town years ago, after the local factory pulled out, and every lease he gets signed is a way to prove he's better than the hicks. He's a wolf in Sears clothing, while Sue just wants to get the job done and get back to her kid. (Even on autopilot, McDormand is her usual unsentimental delight.)
The love interest — there has to be a love interest — is a hard-drinking schoolteacher named Alice who crosses Steve's wires because she seems to have his number. It's the kind of role that Rosemarie DeWitt has cornered lately and needs to outgrow, the one area where the screenwriters seem more intent on Americana than America. But the bar where she (and everybody else in town) hangs out has a busy, chaotic funk that feels right. No one two-steps. They're just there to celebrate making it through the day.
It's a fine line between interesting characters and "Northern Exposure" quirk, but the movie mostly stays on the right side of it. We know we're in for something out of the ordinary — or more true to the ordinary — when the owner of the general store, a caustic, good-looking sharpie played by Titus Welliver, immediately spots the two leads as gas company interlopers and hits (pretty effectively) on Sue.
Damon is likable enough in a fuzzily written role; the problem is that he's simultaneously the movie's hero and villain, and he doesn't have the nimbleness to pull it off. (Who could? Robert Downey Jr.? Matthew McConaughey on one of his good days?) Krasinski's got the more interesting part as an idealistic tree-hugger who's cannier than he lets on. The actors have written before (notably Damon, with his Oscar-winning co-scripting credit on Van Sant's "Good Will Hunting") but they have something to say rather than a story to tell, and the agenda ends up defusing the drama. Van Sant just has a place he wants to visit. He makes us want to visit it, too.Ty Burr can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @tyburr.

YMBL basketball tourney readies for 59th year
The YMBL South Texas Shootout is one of the longest running high school basketball tournaments in the country. The tournament began in 1952, and the nonprofit organization the Young Men's Business League has since teamed up with the Beaumont Independent School District to bring in the best talent in the state of Texas.
The three-day double-elimination tournament is scheduled for Dec. 1-3 and will be contested mostly at Lamar University (Montagne Center and McDonald Gym) with a few games held at Ozen High School on Saturday morning.
Tickets for each day are just $5 and can be purchased at the gate.
Sixteen teams are competing in the boys bracket; four are ranked teams, three of which are in the top portion of the bracket.
The boys will play their opening-day games in the McDonald Gym, and returning is last year's event champion and Class 4A state title holder No. 2 Dallas Kimball.
The Knights lost some key players from last year's team but have plenty of firepower including senior guard Shannon Lilly Jr. and junior Keith Frazier, who was recently cleared to play after transferring from Irving. Add to those two junior Stevie Clark, who's already scored 44 points in one game this season, and this team might not miss a beat.
Also competing in the top bracket are 4A No. 3 Dallas South Oak Cliff and Class 3A No. 6 Silsbee.
Other teams to keep an eye on are North Shore, which is now coached by former Kountze and Central head coach David Green, Fort Bend Hightower, West Orange-Stark, Nederland and 4A No. 22 Ozen.
The championship game is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Dec. 3.
The girls' bracket will also feature 16 teams, and all eight opening day games will be held in the Montagne Center, beginning at 9 a.m. with Beaumont Central vs. Orangefield.
Four of the 16 teams are ranked, led by Class 4A No. 1 Ozen, who will open the tournament against Class 2A No. 25 Hempstead.
Ozen lost in the state semifinals last year to eventual state champion Canyon, 44-39, and returns all-state guard Asia Booker.
Hardin-Jefferson is ranked No. 15 in Class 3A and returns TABC All-Region player Abreanna Fontenot, and fans are in for a treat when Class 5A No. 4 Clear Springs takes to the court. Sophomore Brooke McCarty (5-6) is averaging more than 21 points per game this season and was named TABC All-State as a freshman last year. Teammate and junior guard Courtnie Latham was TABC All-Region last season.
It looks as if Ozen could tangle with Clear Springs in the final, which is scheduled for 4:15 on Saturday at the Montagne Center.
The UFC presents the Ultimate Fighter season 14 finale on Saturday, Dec. 3, which will be shown live at 7 p.m. on Spike TV.
The two head coaches will meet in the main event as "The Count" Michael Bisping of Liverpool fights Jason "Mayhem" Miller.
Bisping, 32, is a UFC veteran who actually won the Ultimate Fighter season-three title and has compiled an 11-3 record in the UFC. He last fought on Aug. 6 when he dominated Jorge Rivera via first round TKO at UFC 133.
Miller, 30, is a 30-fight veteran with a 23-7 record and returns to the UFC for a second time after a one-fight stint when his lost to Georges-St. Pierre at UFC 52 in 2005.Since then, he's been in and out of smaller promotions and hosted a reality show on MTV called "Bully Beatdown."

A huge two-mile-wide tornado touched down south of Oklahoma City Monday afternoon, devastating a community of 41,000 and killing as many as 51 people. The tornado hit wind speeds of 200mph and scored a preliminary rating of four out of five on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, and eyewitnesses report that its 20 mile journey tossed around cars, crushed homes and ripped apart buildings – including two schools. The tornado is the worst to hit the suburb of Moore since 1999, and officials from the National Weather Service warn that more could be on their way. Local organizations have already set up a range of ways to provide aid to victims of this terrible disaster – hit the jump to find out what you can do to help!
The major's office told the New York Times that emergency crews are still working to assess the damage. In the meantime, relief organizations are setting up centers across the region to help those affected rebuild their lives. Here are a few ways you can help:

Colorado space partnership to benefit UH Hilo students
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Thursday, March 27, 2008
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 974-7642
For Immediate Release
Students at the University of Hawaii at Hilo and the Colorado School of Mines, located in Golden, Colorado, will work together on space research at both campuses and at the new space research center on Hawai`i, called Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES), according to a Memorandum of Understanding to be signed April 4, 2008 in Colorado.
UH Hilo Chancellor Rose Tseng and School of Mines President Bill Scoggins will sign the agreement establishing a partnership between the two schools, which will greatly expand space research opportunities for faculty, undergraduate and graduate students at both schools.
UH Hilo is home to PISCES, which is dedicated to developing technologies that will enable humans to sustain life on another planet. Colorado School of Mines is home to the Center for Space Resources, which focuses on using the natural resources of space, also called in situ resource utilization, to make air and water, and to meet all human needs for survival on the moon and beyond.
PISCES was established and partially funded by the Hawai`i State Legislature in 2007. The organization is working with community and cultural leaders and educators to build on the Hawaiian history of voyaging in the preparation of future voyages into space. The space center plans to build a simulated lunar outpost on the Big Island where the ash and rock surface resembles the surface of the moon. Its labs will serve space agencies, commercial partners and entrepreneurs from the Pacific Rim and around the world that plan space mission involvement. PISCES has obtained research agreements with NASA in the areas of rover testing and in situ resource utilization.
PISCES was conceived by the Japan-U.S. Science, Technology and Space Applications Program under the auspices of the State of Hawai`i. The new center is led by Dr. Frank Schowengerdt, former director of the NASA Research Partnership Centers and professor of physics at UH Hilo, and by Dr. Robert Fox, chair of the department of physics and astronomy at UH Hilo. A cultural advisory committee made up of native Hawaiians and representatives of all facets of the community helps guide PISCES decision-making.
"We are planning robust research programs in robotics, solar energy, in situ resource utilization, and education," said Schowengerdt. "Almost anything you would do at an outpost in space will be an opportunity for research and development at PISCES, and we need good students who want to pursue space science to be a part of this work."
Dr. Angel Abbud-Madrid, director of the Colorado School of Mines Center for Space Resources, said the partnership is perfect for their students, who are already involved in research on how to survive on the moon and Mars. Students work with Lockheed Martin on equipment designed to produce oxygen from the lunar rocks and soil. Mines students also have been involved in developing a special membrane that will one day help astronauts make methane fuel on Mars for their return flight to Earth.
"The number of Hawai`i students interested in space exploration is rapidly growing," said Tseng. "We welcome the opportunity to be a part of information and education exchanges like this one.
"This partnership is a natural extension of our space-related initiatives that are made possible by the Big Island's unique living, learning laboratory," she added. "From the world's most important collection of telescopes atop Mauna Kea, to our `Imiloa Astronomy Center, to PISCES, UH Hilo has taken its place on the cutting edge in this exciting field."

Iron Council by China Mieville
I began to read Iron Council with a mix of emotions and biases: I had enjoyed China Mieville's earlier novel Perdido Street Station and found some of its imagery breathtaking; I had liked parts of his next novel, The Scar, very much, but overall found the book tedious; I was tired of the cult-like hero-worshipping displayed by some of Mieville's fans; I looked forward to seeing how Mieville's imagined world of Bas-Lag would be developed; and I hoped very much that the book would demonstrate a maturation of Mieville's craft and not a settling in to his fame and guaranteed readership.
Iron Council is, indeed, a maturation, a book of depth and richness, particularly when viewed as the third part of a trilogy. (Actually, as Mieville has said, the order the books are read in probably doesn't matter. That they echo and add texture to each other, though, is certain.) Structurally, it is more assured, and certain structural choices seemed to me to play a larger part in the book's overall meaning than has been true in Mieville's work in the past. The language remains baroque, driven by rhythm as much as meaning, some passages being almost Faulknerian -- there are sentences and paragraphs rivaled by few contemporary writers for their beauty, but Mieville is also deliberately paying homage to various pulp traditions, and so the lyricism is generally usurped by melodrama, a technique that is emotionally manipulative, but a vital part of much popular culture. Mieville is an entertainer, a storyteller who wants to keep people turning pages and staying up late into the night to finish yet one more chapter.
It was a pleasant surprise, then, to discover that Mieville was willing to redirect his story 148 pages in with a flashback that is nearly as long as the entire book up to that point, a kind of narrative speedbump that will annoy many readers, I'm sure. The section is labelled an "anamnesis", a term that goes back to Plato and means a reminiscence or recollection, though it also has some meanings in religion and theosophy, and is even the title of a book by conservative philosopher Eric Voegelin. The various meanings anamnesis has accrued over the centuries often suggest memories that lead to later inspiration, a kind of ethical pre-learning, the basic knowledge or experience known to the subconscious (either personal or collective) that motivates someone to commit ethical actions.
The word anamnesis, then, gives us almost everything we need to know about the significance of this section to the book as a whole, to the ending, and to the Iron Council itself. The Council is a motley crew of errant revolutionaries who, after a railroad strike, build a society on a stolen train. In the decades since the Council fled, its actual deeds and existence have been far less important to the city of New Crobuzon than its legend. The legend inspires various people to fight against injustice and to hope for revolution. The anamnesis is that of both Judah Low, the protagonist of this section of the book, and of all New Crobuzon itself, which is one reason the governing powers in the city will stop at nothing to destroy the Iron Council -- they understand its symbolism. Judah was present as the creation of the Council, was a valued member of it, and then became its self-proclaimed bard after leaving it to return to New Crobuzon. When the Council itself returns for a last battle at the end of the book, Judah's final actions preserve the Council so that the process of anamnesis can continue and the Platonic idea it represents remains intact. Though, as one character says toward the end, "There's no plan to history," Judah makes sure there is, at least, hope.
The anamnesis section of the book is a minor masterpiece, a story that is emotionally affecting, philosophically interesting, well written, inventive, and gripping. It is a pastiche of various types of writing -- most clearly tales of the Old West -- which also manages to maintain its own integrity. It echoes much labor history, utilizing archetypes from strikes and union battles past. (I couldn't help thinking of the role of railroads in the Mexican Revolution, and I'm sure other readers will think of various parallels.) It is, appropriately, filled with the excitement of underdog stories, of good guys versus bad guys, fueled with a naive (but necessary) belief in wondrous progress.
Mieville deserves accolades for letting his vision be larger and more realistic than many other writers would with similar material, because other writers would either cynically show the revolutionary fervor of the anamnesis section to be misplaced and ignorant, or would allow the Iron Council to triumph over evil and create a utopia in New Crobuzon. Mieville shows that revolution is much more complex than most revolutionaries expect, that human beings have many motivations, that events may not be what they seem, effects may be impossible to predict, and good guys seldom win for very long. That he does this without a trace of cynicism in his tone or in the structure of the novel is remarkable. (The only book I can think to compare it to, at least in this respect, is Norman Rush's Mating, though the books are vastly different.)
Taken as a trilogy, Perdido Street Station, The Scar, and Iron Council offer a wide view of change, loyalty, and fantasy. Each of the books is about the need for fantasy despite the inevitable ability of reality to shatter all dreams, or turn them into nightmares. It is the process of dreaming that Mieville celebrates, suggesting that when people wish and hope and dream they can create meaningful change in themselves and even the world, though no change is permanent, and ghastly costs may be attached. In each of the books, people place their faith and trust in characters who end up being less or more than they seemed, often to the detriment of the trust -- and yet it is that trust which provided the impetus for the characters to do remarkable things, to dream, to change. Loyalty, then, is worthwhile, even though it often leads to sorrow and danger. New Crobuzon changes in the time from the opening page of Perdido Street Station to the closing page of Iron Council, and it is not a good change, but a reactionary and oppressive one. Great sacrifices are made, but little progress. But there is some potential within the city that lures the wayward back, both in The Scar and Iron Council, that keeps them believing, hoping, dreaming, that illuminates moments of happiness and wholeness. Over and over again characters try to escape New Crobuzon, to find joy in life elsewhere, but always they must return.
The three books are adventure novels, ones with similar plots overall: a mystery is raised and slowly solved, leading to unexpected outcomes, the main characters' lives are imperiled, the setting threatened with total destruction, and then lots of people kill each other, with bittersweet results. The formula works well in Iron Council up until the last two hundred pages, partly because of the complex juxtapositions of chronology and events, but threatening New Crobuzon yet again with eldritch forces from beyond seemed unnecessary, and I could have lived with about half as many battles, because the book began to feel more like a scenario for a roleplaying game than a novel: one seemingly impossible battle ("Good dice roll!") leads to an even more seemingly impossible battle ("Your weapons aren't effective against noncorporeal entities, but luckily coming down the hill...") leads to another and another and....
While I hope Mieville develops a new formula soon, I also understand that the one he keeps reverting to is inherent for the kind of story he wants to tell, and that it has been done much worse by other writers. Many readers won't mind at all -- will, in fact, find the innumerable battles to be the best moments of the books. Mieville has so much else to offer, though, that it seems a shame he always ties things up by having his characters spend most of their time killing each other.
Mieville has stated in interviews that he does not want to create stories with simple "good vs. evil" morality, but that is generally what he does. The government of New Crobuzon is populated entirely with people who operate with as much love and compassion as a Dark Lord. Mieville's main characters are often conflicted, impulsive, selfish, and wonderfully complex, but they end up fighting against forces that are entirely loathsome, which is a cop-out.
There is much to celebrate about Iron Council, though, and much of the book demonstrates a prodigious achievement of craft and imagination. It is more complex and less bloated than The Scar, wider ranging in scope and philosophy than Perdido Street Station, and yet it maintains and builds off of those books' tremendous imaginative energy. It is not at all perfect, and will not be to everyone's taste, nor to every Mieville fan's taste, but it rewards attention and thought, which is more than can be said for many of the books it shares shelf space with on the New Books rack at bookstores.

GRAHAM � A man originally charged with armed robbery pleaded guilty to common law robbery and several thefts in Alamance County Superior Court last week.
Samuel Denontae Millner, 19, of Brassfield Drive, Burlington, was originally charged in October 2011 with holding three men and one woman at gunpoint and stealing $30 from one of them. He pleaded to common law robbery, landing a 13- to 16-month active sentence on the charge.
He also pleaded guilty to two counts of breaking and entering and larceny after breaking and entering. Those charges were brought after break-ins May 23 and Sept. 5.
In exchange for the plea, the state dismissed two counts of injury to real property, felony possession of stolen goods and attempted common law robbery.
Superior Court Judge James E. Hardin Jr. issued two consecutive six- to 17-month prison sentences to run at the expiration of the common law robbery sentence. He suspended an additional six- to 17-month sentence, placing Millner on 24 months� probation after his release. During that time, Millner must pay restitution, court costs and fees of $2,265.65. Restitution will be shared with co-defendants, the court file said. He was ordered to have no contact with the victims.
Also in Alamance County Superior Court last week:
▪Amanda Lancaster Anderson, a.k.a. Amanda Jean Anderson Principe, 37, of Lowe Road, Elon, pleaded guilty to charges of sex offender on child premises and sex offender use social website.
Anderson was accused of creating accounts on Facebook and Yahoo between May 2011 and April 2012 without registering the accounts with the Alamance County Sheriff�s Office as required by law. She was also charged with visiting Burlington City Park�s playground, prohibited by the sex offender laws.
In exchange for the plea, the state dismissed three counts of fail to register by a sex offender.
Hardin consolidated the charges into a suspended 11- to 14-month sentence and placed Anderson on 60 months� probation. She was given credit for 7 days� served in jail on an active split sentence.
▪Wesley Ryan Deese, 21, of West Webb Avenue, Burlington, pleaded guilty to felony possession of a schedule I substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Deese was charged April 19, 2012, with heroin possession and having a leather belt to tourniquet his arm, warrants by Graham police said.
In exchange for the plea, the state agreed not to pursue an assault by strangulation charge and dismissed one charge of possession of paraphernalia.
Hardin issued a suspended five- to 15-month sentence with credit for 78 days spent in jail. He was placed on 24 months� probation and ordered to pay court costs and attorney fees and be evaluated and treated for substance abuse.
▪Darius Marquis Madkins, 23, of Trail One, Burlington, pleaded guilty to two counts of break-and-enter a motor vehicle, three counts of misdemeanor larceny and one count of misdemeanor assault inflicting serious injury.
Burlington police charged Madkins on June 22 with breaking into two vehicles and stealing items from inside. On Oct. 5, he was charged with assaulting Taek Kyen La with a broomstick and stealing $30 in beer from Joe�s Shopwell Mini Mart on Apple Street.
In exchange for the plea, the state dismissed three charges of possession of stolen goods, two counts of simple possession of marijuana and three counts of no operator�s license. The state agreed to proceed on the misdemeanor assault charge rather than a felony, documents outlining the plea said.
Hardin consolidated the charges into three sentences. Two four- to 14-month sentences were suspended for 24 months, during which time he was ordered to pay restitution with a co-defendant, not have contact with victims and remain in counseling. Hardin issued a 60-day suspended sentence on the assault and placed him on 12 months� supervised probation.
▪Misty Dawn Amore, 41, of Hazel Road, Burlington, pleaded guilty to felony larceny and obtaining property by false pretense.
Alamance County Sheriff�s detectives charged her Dec. 28 with stealing 74 silver �Barber head half dollar� coins from George Claude Brooks. The coins were valued at $3,500. She then sold them to Donald Gene Pennington for $520, warrants said.
Hardin issued a four- to 14-month suspended sentence with credit for 33 days spent in jail. Amore was placed on 18 months� probation and ordered to pay $1,854.50 in restitution and fees. She must also testify truthfully against Cynthia Hornaday, a co-defendant, if called by the state.

Aug. 30, 2008
NEWPORT, R.I. - Sophomore forward Christian Therkelsen corralled a loose ball in the box and tallied what proved to be the game-winning goal after seven minutes expired as MIT went on to record a 2-0 victory over Salve Regina University in a non-league men's soccer game on Saturday. The Engineers (1-0) won by an identical score last year and now own a 4-0 all-time mark against the Seahawks (0-1).
Sophomore midfielder Peter Bojo completed the scoring 10 minutes later when he converted a pass from freshman midfielder Max Stein-Golenbock. In net, Tom Caldwell collected five saves en route to his 11th career shutout.
"I'm very pleased with the team effort," said head coach Milton Gooding. "This was an excellent way to start the season, especially getting a win on the road."

I regularly receive updates from the 25x25 Alliance (www.25x25.org), a coalition of agricultural, environmental and other groups striving to produce 25 percent of the total energy consumed in the U.S. from renewable resources by 2025. The Alliance recently posted a call to all stakeholders (farmers and foresters included) to play a stronger role in creating consensus on "energy and climate policies that make sense."
The Alliance makes a point that farmers understand all too well—that farmers operate over the long haul. "What they plant this spring is often tied to crops years in the future. Shifting to energy crops, such as those that may be grown for biomass or managed to sequester carbon, requires many to make substantial investments in production and handling equipment. If we're going to ask our nation's farmers to stake their families' future on renewable energy, we have to provide them with the security of a solid, long-term policy and strong market signals."
To do this, though, farm organizations, entrepreneurs and others are going to have to find ways to learn from each other and collaborate, capitalizing on each others' strengths. They need to participate or get their voice heard in Washington and state capitals. Groups like the 25x25 Alliance (www.25x25.org) and Growth Energy (growthenergy.org) already have made some great strides in attracting the attention of policymakers and legislators, and they can continue to use new ideas and fresh blood.
The biofuels sector still faces a lot of opposition, and a lot of misinformation is still circulating out there. That's one of the many reasons Farm Industry News published "20 Surprising Things You Need to Know Now" in the Mid-February issue. It provides some ammunition you can use to shoot down some of the myths being circulated about biofuels and agriculture in general.
I encourage you to counter some of the anti-biofuels arguments out there when you're talking with your elected officials, friends and acquaintances. Write a letter to your local newspaper editors or volunteer to speak before a local Kiwanis, Jaycees or other community group.
I believe, like the 25x25 Alliance, that "America's farms, ranches and forests are capable of supplying much needed bioenergy feedstocks without compromising their ability to feed and clothe much of the world." Do you? Please help spread the message!

I got a quote from someone to install this T-connector (and my hitch) for about $275. I figured I would try to do it myself (no previous experience doing any wiring installations) and it was a breeze! Installing this T-connector took about 75 minutes. It could probably be done in 40 minutes but since I'm a novice I really took my time (especially when running the battery wire to the front of the vehicle). Great product, easy installation. I'd definitely recommend the CURT brand.

Liberty News
Materials arrive for future artificial ski slope
Snowflex, the main ingredient for Liberty University's year-round ski slope, arrived in bundles of tiles on Monday.
Invented by Brian Thomas of Briton Engineering, Snowflex is a multi-layer, synthetic material that simulates the effects of snow. With the help of small misting devices, the material stays moist, giving it the slip and grip of real snow. Originating in Europe, Snowflex will debut on U.S. soil with the completion of LU's artificial incline expected by February 2009.
Crews will unload the tiles on top of Liberty Mountain's bald spot in preparation for the slope's construction. Thomas, who serves as the managing director, will also be at the building site during the week, providing workers with insight on the project's design.
"We are absolutely delighted to do the first project in the states," Thomas said. "In a couple of years' time, you will see people doing amazing things who quite likely have started from scratch."
LU's Liberty Mountain Snowflex Center will consist of a main ski slope and a beginner slope for ski and snowboard instruction, totaling about 40,537 square feet of skiable area. Jumps and additional features on the main slope include a tabletop, a big kicker, an 11-foot high quarter pipe, two grind rails and an extreme tube chute.
The ski slope is an integral part of the university's Ultimate LU campaign, an initiative instituted by Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. that enhances the LU's student activities, club sports and intramural programs. With the addition of the Liberty Mountain Snowflex Center, the university hopes to add skiing and snowboarding as club sports.
We want Liberty to be known for the good, wholesome fun and well-rounded experience that students have here," Falwell Jr. said. "We think that if the students are happy, active and physically fit, they will do better academically."

A family of four has been displaced after an accidental fire Sunday morning on Becky Hill Road in the Reeds community.
A family of four has been displaced after an accidental fire Sunday morning on Becky Hill Road in the Reeds community.
Two adults and two children were being assisted by the Greater High Point-Davidson Chapter of the American Red Cross after being displaced from their two-story home at 921 Becky Hill Road.
Firefighters with the Reeds Volunteer Fire Department were dispatched to the two-story home at 8:34 a.m.
Jeremy Hanes, chief of the Reeds VFD, said firefighters arrived to find fire coming from the second story in the attic area. A passerby alerted the fire department of the blaze, he said.
Hanes and Fire Marshal Brad Needham said the majority of the damage was contained to the second floor. However, smoke and water damage occurred on the first floor, both said.
Needham and Hanes were unsure if the house was going to be a total loss. That will be determined by the insurance company.
"It was an older house," Hanes said, adding the house may be fixable.
No injuries were reported. Hanes said the family was not at home when the fire, which took about 30 minutes to control, occurred.
Needham said Monday morning that the fire was a result of an electrical wiring malfunction in a crawl space.
The Reeds VFD identified one of the residents who lived at the home as Joy Flanigan, and the other names were not available.
The West Lexington and A-RC-H volunteer fire departments, as well as Davidson County Emergency Services and Davidson County Fire Marshal's Office, responded.

Super Bowl commercials are one of the most heavily anticipated and watched parts of the big game. They're also among the most expensive — an average 30-second spot this year is going for around $3.8 million.
While advertisers are banking on more than 100 million Americans seeing their commercials, at that price, they want even more. So, some companies, like PepsiCo, Kraft and Yum Brands' Taco Bell unit, are breaking the longstanding tradition of keeping the commercials under wraps until the big game and leaking them online. In some cases, it's the whole commercial, in others, it's just a teaser for the ad — or, as Jon Stewart called it on "The Daily Show," "ads for the ads."
Taco Bell posted its commercial on YouTube on the Monday before the game.
