First there were Atari's paddles. Then D-pads, analog sticks, and rumble packs. While most innovations in controller design have incrementally boosted the number of buttons, triggers and other inputs crammed into a two-handed brick, Microsoft's Kinect promises to do away with them forever.
The unprecedented hands-free control device that Microsoft introduced last year as Project Natal has finally gotten a real name (Kinect), a price ($150) and a launch date (November 4). More importantly, it also has real games. After jumping, ducking and flailing along with many of the new titles for Kinect, including Ubisoft's Motion Sports and Warner Bros.' Game Party, it's easy to see the appeal, but the execution remains a troubling question mark.
Put Down the Plastic
Gaming journalists seldom like to admit it, but stepping up to an E3 demo with even the most familiar controller carries with it a certain sense of anxiety. What does square do? Is left trigger brake or accelerate? Do I need to invert the Y axis? It's the same sense of confusion and uncertainty that turns your parents, grandparents and skeptical friends away from video games. And though vets only feel it for a second with new games, it still exists.
Kinect bulldozes that sense of intimidation. Without a piece of plastic to pick up, hold properly, or otherwise fumble with, stepping into the game isn't even a choice anymore. By the time you're watching a game, you're controlling it.
Ubisoft Motion Sports Test
In Motion Sports, the menus are dead simple. Every activity has been sorted into a grid on the main screen, which players can select from by merely holding their hand up and leaving it on the right one for a few seconds. A glowing profile of the player in the back of the screen makes it obvious which game you're reaching for.
A few claps through the instruction screens, and you're into the action.
We started out with football, which would seem like an awfully complex sport to distill down into just movement. Ubisoft did it by reducing the game to merely dodging incoming defenders as you race for a touchdown. You don't run in place, steer your character, or cradle a virtual ball. Just perform the right movement – dodge, jump, duck – at the right moment, and you'll make it to the end zone.
It's like Dance Dance Revolution without the music – and surprisingly difficult to master. We found ourselves crunching into the turf over and over, either from performing the wrong moves, or just doing them too late. The delay of the Kinect system makes itself most obvious when jumping, which feels like it happens on screen a full second after you've done it in real life. Your feet are already planted firmly back on the carpet by the time it registers.
Even if we had a little more luck with it, we can't see this type of gameplay keeping anyone – even a casual gamer lured in by the Kinect – occupied for very long. Besides a few extra points for exceptionally clean maneuvers, its sheer monotony.
Unlike football, Ubisoft's skiing game actually lets you steer. The motion itself is mostly in the shoulders, while crouching controls speed (lower is faster) and clawing away at virtual ski poles lets you push off from a standstill.
Out of the gate, steering feels awkward. Although heeding the game's instructions not to oversteer allows us not to run off the track immediately, it the character's on-screen motions steel feel choppy and disconnected from our own. He almost seems to move in notches. Hardly the graceful carving motion you imagine with skiing.
The pacekeeping avatar that picks all the perfect lines passed us in an instant and disappeared over the next hill. Even if you can manage to stay between the gates, picking those same razor-thin lines using your shoulders to steer feels like using a butterknife to perform surgery.
Root Beer Tapper, Quarterback Challenge and more
Other titles followed a similar pattern. Warner Bros.' Game Party offered the same dismal sense of control with graphics and kiddie themes more suited for the Wii. The only trolls we hit in the Whack a Troll game were by accident, we sloshed soda everywhere and made quite a few digital customers angry in Root Beer Tapper, and Quarterback Challenge proved to be nearly impossible.
Lots of Sizzle, Where's the Steak?
One year ago, the sloppy and generally imprecise experiences we had with Kinect could have been passed off as pre-alpha buginess. But this is the state of Kinect in 2010, just months away from launch. With a full extra year of development under its belt, we're not impressed with what we've seen.
The Kinect is not easy to use, it's not accurate, and it's not fun. The only worse waste of $150 we can imagine spending on the Kinect at this point is the ensuing trickle of dollars that would go into buying the present selection of godawful titles for it.
If there's any potential for Kinect, it probably lies in its use as a tool for controlling menus. The few opportunities we had to interact with it on this level – rather than in games – it actually offered enough precision to not only work, but work well. If it can maintain that feel from a couch, reaching for the remote could become a thing of the past.
Nintendo really has a leg up on Microsoft here, and the Sony Move is definitely looking more promising at this point.

Dr. John A. Brennan, chief executive of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and the Children's Hospital of New Jersey since 2007, has accepted the role of president and CEO of the MetroHealth System, based in Cleveland. He begins the new role Jan. 1.
Brennan has been instrumental in helping Barnabas Health establish a Medicare accountable-care organization in North Jersey, as well as forming a community-based organization — the Greater Newark Healthcare Coalition — that is working toward designation as a Medicaid ACO.
Brennan replaces Mark Moran, who has led the county-subsidized MetroHealth since 2008. According to an announcement from MetroHealth, the search for Moran's successor has taken nearly a year.
"I am thrilled by the opportunities at MetroHealth," said Brennan, in a MetroHealth press release. "The medical center is in a great place in its history, and I am privileged to continue the organization's long-standing mission."
MetroHealth is comprised of one medical center and many health clinics around the greater Cleveland area.
During Brennan's tenure, the hospitals' "reputation for quality and excellence has expanded nationally. Cardiology and cardiac surgery, cancer care, renal services, community programs and partnerships and many other areas have been strengthened under his leadership," said Barry H. Ostrowsky, president and CEO of Barnabas Health.

Gianfranco Zola says he will consider making wholesale changes for tomorrow night's game with Ipswich Town despite defeats in the last two games where he significantly rotated his Watford squad.
The Hornets have a large squad and have several players who, although currently out of the team, were first team regulars earlier this season.
Zola decided to rotate his starting line-up against Charlton Athletic on New Year's Day and at Bristol City on January 29 and, on both occasions, Watford suffered defeat when they were expected to win.
When asked whether he is considering making wholesale changes once more, Zola replied: "Yes because it's very difficult to handle three games in a row so therefore I have to consider it.
"I don't want to lose players to injuries for a long time and if you play three high intensity games in a week there's more likelihood that you risk injuries, so I will consider it.
"I'm not sure that I'll definitely do that but I'll consider it."
On the difficulties of keeping the large squad happy, Zola added: "It's not only about that; it's because when they [the squad members] play they have played well for the team. Alex Geijo has played well for the team, Fernando Forestieri has played well, Jonathan Hogg has played well and Mark Yeates also - to name a few.
"Ok, in the last two games when we have made a lot of changes we have lost but before we've made the changes and won the game.
"It is something I'll consider and as always; I will do the best for the team, that's for sure. And whether players pick up long-term injuries is one of the factors I have to consider.
"I'll make my considerations and I will do my best for the team to try to win the game tomorrow."
Two players who certainly won't feature at Portman Road are defenders Fitz Hall and Tommie Hoban. Hoban suffered a recurrence of his Achilles injury and Hall has pulled his hamstring.
Zola said: "Fitz is not ready yet. He's getting better but he's not ready.
"It's a muscle problem; he pulled his hamstring. He shouldn't be long. It would be reasonable to say he's not going to be available for this game and the next one."
Joel Ekstrand is available for selection according to Zola and Ikechi Anya's substitution at the weekend was due to cramp and he should be fit enough to play.
Zola said: "Ikechi had cramp. He hadn't played for a long time and he was cramping so we took him off because we didn't want to risk him. He is available for tomorrow."
"There are no fresh injuries," Zola continued. "We have a few knocks but the players that played in the last game are all available."
Ipswich will be without new signing Anthony Wordsworth, who fractured three vertebrae in his back during his Ipswich debut at the weekend.
Lee Martin has been suffering with a calf problem but he could come back into contention and ex-Watford loanee Michael Chopra will be hoping to start after coming off the bench to score the winner against Blackpool.
Former Hornet Scott Loach had recently regained his place in goal for the Tractor Boys but sprained his thumb and has missed the last two matches.
Loach could be fit enough to return tomorrow night but is unlikely to start with Stephen Henderson conceding one goal in the last two games.

The Kirksville High School Lady Tigers improved to 18 and 1 on Tuesday night with another impressive victory over a totally overmatched Moberly team. The Lady Tigers are truly a well rounded team in my opinion who not only win consistently but do it in a totally dominating fashion. In addition to their excellent offensive output this year their defense has been top notch as well and it has been a joy to watch these young ladies come together as a team over the past couple of years. Their next game is Friday night at home for Court Warming. If you haven't taken the opportunity to get out and see these young ladies in action then I would strongly encourage you to do so. There are not many more opportunities to see them in action this year as the season is winding down quickly.
The KHS boys basketball team came up a little short in their game with Moberly on Tuesday night as Moberly was able to come up with a hard fought victory. The Tigers are certainly an improved team over last year but have struggled for consistency at times as they haven't always been able to put together a solid game on both ends of the floor. They will be back in action on Friday as well at home against Mexico.
The KHS wrestling team is preparing for districts this weekend in St. Charles. Since when is St. Charles in our district and why is it in our district in the first place? If you have to drive three and a half hours to get there then it is not in your district I don't care what the Missouri State High School Activities Association says. Anyway, the KHS wrestling team has had a week to prepare and I expect most if not all the team to place well in the districts and move on to state competition later this month in Columbia which is about half as far away as St. Charles.
The Truman State Bulldogs men's and women's basketball teams both hit the road to travel to lands far away as they play Pittsburg State on Thursday before heading to Oklahoma to play Northeastern Oklahoma on Saturday. I could complain about the nonsensical schedule but I've already done that. I would however as a parting shot like to point out to the good folks who run the MIAA that Oklahoma is not exactly mid America, but obviously geography has no place in modern college athletics.
The Missouri Tigers men's basketball team, (Missouri isn't in the southeastern United States either but I've already gone down that road) heads to College Station, TX on Thursday night to play Texas AandM in a game featuring the two newest teams in the SEC. Missouri is still looking for its first road win in the SEC and they have never played that well in College Station so they are certainly going to have to play a consistent game from start to finish and get back to the Tigers of December to come out of there with a victory.
Pitchers and catchers start reporting for spring training this weekend and the St. Louis Cardinals spring training and season as a whole got a little more complicated on Tuesday afternoon with the announcement that Chris Carpenter likely will not pitch this season and quite possibly will never pitch again. Carpenter has had so many surgeries on his arm and shoulder that I have lost track of them has pitched with some level of discomfort for the past seven years and it was hoped that a radical nerve operation last year would alleviate that but it simply never happened. Carpenter has experienced renewed discomfort during his off season workouts and the decision was made to finally shut him down for good last weekend. Carpenter has been counted out before only to battle back and pitch again but this time it has a sense of finality which is truly heartbreaking. Carpenter was more than just one of the best pitchers in baseball but was also the on and off the field leader for the Cardinals who seemed to thrive on his toughness and ability to overcome adversity. This leaves a lot of unanswered questions about the Cardinals pitching staff as there is still some uncertainty as to when or even if Jaime Garcia will be able to pitch because of shoulder problems. The Cardinals have plenty of young arms but are they ready to step into the major league rotation on a fulltime basis yet? Do you want that many unproven commodities in your rotation? What about Jake Westbrook who also battled injuries last year and also seems to have some head issues that can make for an interesting combination. One possibility is the signing of free agent Kyle Lohse who was probably the most consistent pitchers the Cardinals had last year but was not always given a lot of offensive support. Lohse is still a free agent due to a loophole in the agreement between MLB and its players which would cause any team who signs him to lose draft picks because the Cardinals made him a qualifying offer earlier this winter. Most teams are not willing to give up draft picks in addition to paying him the salry he is asking for. This could eventually lead to him coming back to the Cardinals because it was the only option for both of them.
We'll be back on Friday with a look ahead to this weekend's sports action as well as our thoghts on the Missouri Tigers and Truman State Bulldogs games Thursday night. Please check out the other blogs on this site and thanks as always for supporting this one.
Have a terrific Wednesday!

Mexican Bizcochitos - Anise Butter Cookies
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I haven't featured a lot of cookies this year. I've been trying to balance my sweet and savory entries, and as a result I've been neglecting them. I'm going to play catch-up this week and focus on grown-up cookies from various parts of the world. I don't think these cookies will appeal to children, but if you enjoy afternoon tea, or like a nibble with your wine, I hope you'll stay with me and follow the recipes I'll be posting for the next few days. The first to be featured is a rich anise and butter biscuit that comes from New Mexico. It's believed that the cookies originally came from Spain where they were known as mantecosas. They have the unique distinction of being the first ever confection to be named an official state cookie. New Mexico gave them that honor in 1989 and no holiday or celebration in that state would be complete without them being offered. They are easy to make and they age really well. As a matter of fact, I think they are at their best if made a day before they are served. I have on various occasions doubled this recipe to feed a crowd and when I make them for the Silver Fox and myself, I cut the recipe in half. I know those of you who enjoy European-style pastries will like these. The mild anise flavor is a perfect counterpoint to the buttery taste of the bizcochitos. Here's the recipe.
Mexican Bizcochitos - Anise Butter Cookies...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
2 cups butter, softened
1-3/4 cups sugar, divided use
2 eggs
1/4 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
4 teaspoons aniseed, crushed or ground
6 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
1) Cream butter and 1-1/2 cups sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in orange juice concentrate and aniseed. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well..
2) Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
3) Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar and sprinkle over cookies. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Yield: 5 dozen.

I've never made these cookies myself ( I have 4 kids and as you say, they really don't appeal to kids) but I have eaten them. They are very good and perhaps I will try making them for some special occasion.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving your lovely comment. I love to meet new people.

Some people really don't care for that anise flavor, but I'm not one of them. I've never tried it in cookies so this will be an interesting experiment, Mary. I love most herbs in cookies, so I should really like these.
- September 12, 2011 at 1:15 PM
Love the idea of grown-up cookies. These sound divine. I have the opposite problem--I tend to neglect savory items because of my huge sweet tooth!

Friday was a night to remember for Biggs' seniors after both the boys and girls varsity basketball teams won their final homecoming at Biggs High School.
Friday was a night to remember for Biggs' seniors after both the boys and girls varsity basketball teams won their final homecoming at Biggs High School. The night commenced with two unfortunate losses, after both the boys and girls JV basketball games ended in defeat for Biggs.
Between the junior varsity and varsity games, the Homecoming King and Queen for Biggs were announced. Callie Roles, a senior guard on the Lady Wolverines' basketball team, was announced as Homecoming Queen. Esgar Elizondo was honored as the Wolverines' 2013 Basketball Homecoming King.
After the Homecoming ceremonies, the night picked up with an intense game of basketball. Biggs' varsity girls' basketball team started the first quarter of their game with aggressive play from twins Aide and Aime Tinoco. Despite leading most of the quarter, the Lady Wolverines lost their lead to Colusa within the final moments of the first, 12-11.
In front of their home crowd on homecoming night, they were quick to regain their lead early in the second. Biggs continued to dominate and took a 25-23 lead going into the half.
After the intermission, Colusa picked up the intensity on defense due to an impressive effort by senior post Emily Mobley, who finished with a double-double and five blocked shots. With three and a half minutes left in the third, the score was tied 29-29. The RedHawks hit a field goal as the clock reduced to a minute left in the third; however, the quarter wasn't over for the Wolverines' standout senior point guard, Darci Roles, as she nailed a jumper right before the buzzer.
With an even 31-31 score going into the fourth, Biggs proved to trample on the Colusa's spirits. The Tinocos again played aggressive defense and made steal after steal. The Lady Wolverines outscored the RedHawks 12-5 in the fourth to thrust them into a 43-36 MVL homecoming victory.
Darci Roles scored a game-high 15 points in her final homecoming game at Biggs High school to lead the Lady Wolverines. Aime Tinoco finished with nine points, seven rebounds, and six steals. Aide Tinoco and Billie Pruitt dominated defensively by picking up eight boards each, while Aide made seven steals.
Biggs' homecoming Queen, Callie Roles, finished with six rebounds, two points, and two steals.
Biggs' boys basketball team carried the momentum over into their game to hand the RedHawks (9-12, 3-3) their third consecutive MVL game and propel Biggs into a 54-46 win.
The Wolverines led by at least three points at the end of each quarter, with the exception of the fourth. The Wolverines (12-9, 4-2) built a 39-28 lead entering the final quarter, which proved to secure the homecoming win. Colusa outscored the Wolverines 18-15 in the fourth, but it wasn't enough to bounce back after being down in all three quarters.
Senior Brendin Milbrath led Biggs with 14 points, with juniors Andrew Perez and Juan Castaneda finishing behind him with 13 and 12 points, respectively. Castaneda also finished with eight rebounds.
Nathan Callaway scored eight points, grabbed eight boards, and picked up three steals, while Ryan James completed the scoring with seven.

The Smyrna High School JV boys basketball avenged their lone loss to Dover earlier this season by defeating Dover 61-47 Friday in their second match-up of the season.
Smyrna led 33-12 at the half, but the Eagles were focused and were not going to make the same mistake of letting Dover stage a comeback like Smyrna did in their first meeting this season.
The Eagles were led by Latrelle Lee with 14 points and 7 rebounds and was followed by Donte Ritchie with 9 points and 6 rebounds. Timer Garnett and Greg Duggans contributed 9 points each.
The win improved the Eagles record to 12-1 on the season.
Next up for Smyrna is another home game Tuesday, Feb. 5 vs. Milford at 6 p.m.

I was a bit startled to get an email that read: "It's a feral colony. Are these your bees?"
I was a bit startled to get an email that read: "It's a feral colony. Are these your bees?"
A nearby Missouri S&T fraternity, Beta Sigma Phi, was removing limbs from a storm-damaged tree. In the process of cutting up the limbs with a chain saw, they found a 15-inch wide, 5-foot long limb full of honeybees.
Bees will swarm, or move out of a hive, in mid- to late spring. Bees swarm when the hive gets too crowded. The old queen stays behind and a new queen leads part of the colony to a new nesting site.
Sometimes a swarm will settle into a tree, or tree limb, as they wait for scouts to find a new home.
Since they don't have a home to defend, swarming bees are tame and easy to handle. All one has to do is find the queen and the rest will follow her.
This was how honeybees used to keep their colonies, in tree and limb hollows, before the advent of movable-framed hives. To get honey, and bees wax, the tree and bee colony had to be destroyed.
The movable-framed hives developed in the mid-1800s made it possible to get honey, and wax, without destroying the bees.
The wax-covered frames, where bees store baby bees, bee bread and honey, were also reusable. Multiple use of wax combs cut down the time, and energy, bees need to invest in making comb before honey.
The bees in this tree limb had been there for awhile. Besides bees, the limb housed wax comb where bees had been raising young and storing food. It usually takes a colony one to two years to build enough comb for storage.
By the end of summer, however, it's too late to try to establish a bee colony in a hive. They haven't stored 70 pounds of honey to get them through winter, nor have they had time to build up the comb they need to set up housekeeping.
Not a problem for retired Missouri S&T Computer Science Professor Ralph Wilkerson. Working with wire mesh and a healthy dose of silver duct tape, Ralph secured the bees inside the tree limb in preparation for the move back to his home.
He added a wood platform to one side and covered the other side with wire mesh. The one entrance in the center of the limb was covered with some of his wife's Mary's quilt batting before he quickly taped it shut.
Enlisting his friend Dr. Wayne Huebner, chair of the Missouri S&T Materials Engineering Department, and a fraternity house member, the three carefully moved the tree limb into the back of Ralph's truck.
Once at their destination, the tree limb was removed and secured to a standing tree.
"Within hours, bees were bringing back pollen so they settled in fast," Wilkerson said when I checked up on the success of the move. "I call it my hillbilly hive."
Ralph's plan is to help the bees make it through winter housed inside the tree limb. He made a nice roof top for the limb so bees will have ventilation and keep the colony dry.
Next spring, he will locate the queen and move the colony into a new hive box. The early move will give the bees a whole season to make beeswax and store honey for next winter.
If Ralph's lucky, they may make a little extra honey for him, too.

The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition is hosting its 10th annual Southern Lights of Light Gala, featuring a fierce fashion show of breast cancer survivors. Local resident, survivor and model Janice Itzell discusses DBCC and life after cancer.
The Southern Lights of Life Gala, a yearly fundraising event organized by the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, will take place Saturday night at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino.
Now in its tenth year, the annual event celebrates the lives and courage of breast cancer survivors with a lavish dinner, cocktails, live and silent auctions, live entertainment and an upbeat fashion show. Last year, the gala was attended by more than 450 people who helped DBCC raise more than $150,000 for local Kent and Sussex County survivors.
This year's live entertainment, sponsored by Harrington Raceway & Casino, will be provided by In Gratitude, a tribute band to Earth, Wind & Fire. The Mari Hill Band will also be performing.
The highlight of the night belongs to the fashion show, which features 10 southern Delaware breast cancer survivors walking the catwalk in the latest boutique fashions.
One of those survivors, Janice Itzell of Camden, took time ahead of the show to talk about her affiliation with DBCC, her mindset for dealing with the disease and what's waiting on the other side of breast cancer.
Q So, you are a breast cancer survivor. When were you diagnosed?
A I was diagnosed in December 2011, but I am currently cancer-free now.
Q Were you shocked when you received the diagnosis?
A It's really kind of funny. Breast cancer is so common so I don't know that it was such a shock. I never asked myself, "Why me?" or anything like that. As a matter of fact, it was my husband who said, "OK. Get all the information you need and we'll take care of it and we'll move on." And, that's been my attitude the whole time.
Q So, how did you hook up with the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition?
A I have a very good friend who was helped a lot by the Coalition and she gave me the contact person's name. I immediately felt like these are people who have been where I am and understand. It was just a good fit from the very beginning. I met so many women who are 10, 12, 15 and 20 year survivors, which took care of the fear and dread that's associated with a breast cancer diagnosis. Although, honestly, I don't even know if I had any fear and dread. I just thought I would take care of it and move on. And, I'm the proof of doing that. I never really wallowed in self-pity or any of that stuff.
Q You sound so strong. But, doctors say that a positive mindset can help in the recovery process of just about anything. It sounds like mindset was a big part of your recovery story.
A. Absolutely. That's why I grabbed on to the coalition. It's all about survivorship and positivity and enjoying life.
Q How does the DBCC work? Do they hook you up with a mentor?
A They do. Depending upon what kind of breast cancer you have and what kind of treatment has been recommended, they hook you up with somebody who's experienced that exact thing. So, within days of first contacting them, two women called me to tell me about their experiences and answer my questions. I mean, you can go online and get all kinds of information from your doctor but hearing it from somebody who went through it and who's been through the same diagnosis, the same treatment that's been recommended to you is so much better.
Q It sounds comforting.
A Exactly. It is comforting, especially when these women are so positive and so upbeat and are surviving. You start to think, 'if they can do it, I can do.'
Q And, now that you're on the other side of your treatment, you're a mentor yourself now, right? What's it like to be on the other end of those phone calls?
A I was more nervous talking to my first mentee than I am about walking in the fashion show this weekend. I know firsthand that everything you say is going to be taken to heart and that this is a moment that you'll have a big impact on somebody. But, I also feel like there's a reason that I went through everything now. I can help another person. It's empowering, really, to be able to do that.
Q Well, speaking of empowerment, is that one of the reasons you wanted to be one of the models?
A I just wanted to be in an environment where survivorship is celebrated and brought to the forefront. Because, I don't think a lot of people who are touched by cancer or know somebody who was touched by cancer realizes that there is so much survivorship out there. So, to see so many women onstage in this format is really empowering to us. We're not victims. We're survivors. And, I hope other people see that. And, I hope other women who find themselves in a similar situation see that. Life goes on. We have great lives after cancer.

The 2013 Oak Ridge Wildcats varsity pounded the Clinton Dragons on Monday 11-2 at Hopkins Field in seven innings.
The 2013 Oak Ridge Wildcats varsity pounded the Clinton Dragons on Monday 11-2 at Hopkins Field in seven innings.
The Wildcats scored five runs in the fourth on a two-run double by Matt McDaniel, an RBI single by Jordan Lane, a wild pitch and an error.
McDaniel racked up three RBIs on two hits for the Wildcats.
Clinton couldn't get anything going as long as Kevin Steen was on the mound. Steen held the Dragons hitless for over three innings, allowed no earned runs, walked three and struck out eight.
Ralph O'Neal got the win for Oak Ridge. He allowed two runs over four innings. He struck out six, walked two and surrendered four hits.
The Wildcats stayed on top until the final out after taking the lead in the first, scoring two runs on an error and an RBI single by Traven Proveaux.
Oak Ridge survived Clinton's surge and put up three runs of their own in the second. The Wildcats scored on a groundout by O'Neal, an RBI triple by McDaniel and an RBI single by Kyler Jones.
Oak Ridge traveled to Powell last night and will face Upper Arlington (OHIO) at 6 p.m. Friday at home on Hopkins Field in the Oak Ridge Baseball Complex.

Lady Pioneers capture another win to push record to 9-5; Lansing victorious as well while Immaculata and Pleasant Ridge
Standing at his desk minutes after a grueling 56-54 win over Olathe North, Leavenworth girls' basketball coach Derek Zeck gave a pithy summation of a contest that would've still been going had North not missed a game-tying lay-up at the buzzer.
"We did everything wrong to lose the game, and still found a way to win."
Zeck meant it in a positive way. Sure, there were plenty of holes to poke in the turnover-happy, grind-it-out affair against a team winless in league play.
But Zeck's attitude was that the test of a team is in the response to adverse circumstances, not the circumstances themselves.
"As a young team, you have to win games like that. We did the same thing against Seaman and kind of fell apart [and lost]. [Tonight] you could see in their face that they believed they would win," Zeck said.
The game abruptly switched from a one-possession track meet of fast breaks and 50-50 balls into a free throw shooting contest in the final two minutes.
Leavenworth couldn't shut the door from the line, and after a North 3-pointer, the stage was set for a game-tying shot. North worked the ball down low, but the shot was too strong off the backboard.
The win is the Lady Pioneers' eighth in their last ten games. Since starting the season 1-3, they're 8-2.
"They're starting to get confident and starting to believe that maybe we have something special," Zeck said.
Tashia Jones and Tyler Johnson asserted themselves at different points in the game. Jones finished with 12 points and Johnson had 11.
Rounding out Leavenworth's top scorers, Destinee Robinson had 11 points, Shelby Ogden had six, and Rashayla Mathis had seven, five on free throws down the stretch.
Leavenworth, 9-5, goes to Lawrence to play Free State Tuesday.

Lady Lions punish Turner
Friday night with the second quarter nearing conclusion, the Lady Lions basketball team was feeling the heat.
Turner was closing in on the lead and Lansing could have easily given in. Instead, the squad went on a critical scoring run to close the half.
The run was spearheaded by Madison Bosworth who scored the last three buckets of the half for Lansing. Bosworth led the Lady Lions, who defeated Turner 66-32, in scoring with 16 points.
"She stepped up great tonight. They didn't have an answer for her." Lansing coach Christine Robinson said. "I'm really proud of how she came off the bench and represented our team on offense and on defense."
The Lady Lions got off to a strong start leading at the end of the first quarter 14-6.
Turner made their run in the second period to draw within two of Lansing. But the home team's strong finish gave them a 30-21.
The second half the Lady Lions continued to stretch their lead, including dominating the fourth quarter 19-4.
"Really proud of the girls, I thought our post players did a great job stepping up tonight and the guards did a great job into our size." Robinson said. "I'm proud of our girls we've worked hard for this feeling and they deserve to enjoy it."
Bosworth led the team in points while Hailey Budke had 12 in addition to Carly Bohannon's and Kija Cammock's seven.
Lansing, 2-13, and will play at home against Bonner Springs Tuesday night at 5:45 p.m.

Raiders' decline continues
It has not been an easy couple of weeks for the Lady Raiders basketball team.
That trend continued on Friday, when the squad lost to host Maur-Hill 41-23.
"We are just not getting started right," Imac coach Terry Jordan said. "We are dealing with the same issues as earlier this week. We are starting our offense so far apart on the floor and just throwing long passes that we are forcing way too many turnovers."
As Jordan highlighted, another rough start hindered Immaculata early. The team posted just eight points in the first half and trailed 21-8.
Offensively, Imac did better in the second half but the double-digit deficit was too much to overcome.
"We are not very deep with Lainey (Bell) out," Jordan said. "I'm starting three sophomores, a junior and freshman so we are going to have to learn how to compete with this group over these last five games."
Grace Parker led the team in scoring with nine points.
The Lady Raiders, 4-10, will host Troy Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Shoddy start cripples PR
With two minutes left in the first quarter, the Pleasant Ridge girls' basketball team recorded its first points versus Jefferson County North Friday.
It made the score 22-2. By quarter's end, it was 26-6.
That dreadful beginning left PR in a massive hole that it ultimately could not climb out of. Ridge lost 64-31 to its visitors.
"They are good, but we made them look really good by not executing the game plan," Lady Rams coach Mike Koontz said. "Early in the game we did not get back and we just watched them do whatever they wanted to do. Overall, we just didn't perform basic basketball fundamentals."
Ashten Langley led PR in scoring with eight points while Kelsey Carpenter and Jordan Adams each added six.
Ridge, 7-6, will travel to Horton Tuesday for a 6 p.m. contest.
"We have to grind out a win," Koontz said. "We have to just find a way to win. Get hard nose, get down and dirty and will ourselves to a win."

School bus drivers went on strike for the first time since 1979 in all five boroughs of the city Wednesday morning, seeking the addition of a job security clause in their contracts.
At the Atlantic Express Bus depot in Ridgewood, members of Amalgamated Transit Union 1181 took to the streets in four-hour shifts starting at 6 a.m., calling for the inclusion of an Employment Protection Provisions (EPP) clause to their contracts.
"Were all willing to do what we need to do for job security," stressed Dawn Wensmann, an 1181 bus driver for 18 years. "I think [Mayor Bloomberg ] is not just looking for the cheapest solution, but he's looking for people who are just not qualified."
Michael Cordiello, ATU Local 1181 president, assured his drivers that the union is in the right asking the city to include the job security clause, and will not return to the job until Mayor Michael Bloomberg and city officials, who have called their requests illegal, adds it to their contracts.
"EPP is legal," Cordiello assured his drivers. "The fact that the mayor says he cannot negotiate with us is absolutely false."
While the union's contracts expired on June 30, Bloomberg says the city is obligated by a ruling in the 2011 Court of Appeals to place the contract out to bid, making their requests infeasible.
"It's just irrational for us to keep spending this kind of money, and we're going to find out whether there is an alternative by putting the contracts out to bid," Bloomberg said. "That's what the law requires us to do. It just hasn't been done since 1979, but that doesn't mean we don't have a responsibility to do it."
Over 150,000 students had to find another way to school this morning during the strike while roughly 40 percent of the schools buses sat in their yards, according to Bloomberg.
Magdlena Draghici drove from Glendale to pick up her granddaughter from P.S. 58 in Maspeth, while her own daughter is in the hospital.
"It's very hard," Draghici said. "We have a job to do and it is tough in the early morning and middle of the day to get the child to school."

NEW YORK — A big gain in the job market is pushing the stock market past new milestones.
The Dow Jones industrial average crossed 15,000 for the first time early Friday, and the Standard and Poor's 500 index, a broader market measure, broke through 1,600.
The Dow was up 136 points to 14,967, an increase of 0.9 percent, as of 3:11 p.m. The S&P 500 index surged 16 points, or 1 percent, to 1,613.
The driver was jobs. U.S. employers added 165,000 of them in April and more in February and March than previously estimated. The unemployment rate fell to the lowest level in four years, 7.5 percent.
The surge in U.S. hiring comes after weeks of conflicting signals about the strength of the global economy. The unexpectedly strong numbers jolted markets higher from the start of trading.
"There's euphoria today," said Stephen Carl, the head equity trader at The Williams Capital Group. "That's what you'd have to call it."
On the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, brokers sported baseball caps emblazoned with "Dow 15,000."

Community Snow Drawing with artist Sonja Hinrichsen: Day 1
- Lake Catamount
Join Yampa Valley artist in residence Sonja Hinrichsen in creating a community snow drawing on Lake Catamount.
Sonja Hinrichsen is an environmental artist who first came to Steamboat Springs in 2010 via a Colorado Art Ranch residency at The Nature Conservancy's Carpenter Ranch. She returned during winter 2012 for a series of community snow drawings on Rabbit Ears Pass that received national and international attention.
Sonja returns during winter 2013 to lead a single snow drawing on Lake Catamount. The local community is invited to join her in creating this large, landscape-scale work of art.
Community Snow Drawings on Lake Catamount
- Friday, Feb. 1: Meet at 11 a.m. at the Lake Catamount Outfitter's Cabin.
- Saturday, Feb. 2: Meet at 11 a.m. at the Lake Catamount Outfitter's Cabin.
- Sunday, Feb. 3: Meet at 10 a.m. at the Lake Catamount Outfitter's Cabin.
Participants must contact the Steamboat Springs Arts Council to sign up: email@example.com. Bring your own snowshoes, snacks and water -- and dress for changing winter weather conditions. Car pooling to Lake Catamount is strongly encouraged, especially on Saturday when parking will be limited.
What's a snow drawing?
Check out this video of the community artists at work last winter on Rabbit Ears Pass...
About the artist:
An excerpt from Sonja Hinrichsen's artist statement...
"Snow Drawings" is an ongoing project where I "draw" large designs in the environment by walking lines into fresh snow surfaces with snowshoes. Ideal "canvases" are deforested areas and frozen lakes. The finished pieces are ephemeral. While they take hours to create, their duration is entirely unpredictable. Sometimes they are coated over by new snow shortly after completion.
I began this project during an artist residency in Snowmass Village in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Out of play I started designing patterns in my mind, which I then transferred onto the snow. My designs have since become more elaborate and refined, and I have continued this project in other landscapes across the USA.
In February 2012 I worked with community volunteers from Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This enabled me to create monumental pieces. During two community events that combined art-making and fun outdoor winter activity in a stunning landscape at Rabbit Ears Pass in the Western Colorado Mountains, we created large drawings that could only be seen from the air in their entirety – and only for a few days. Volunteers greatly enjoyed their partaking in these outdoor art-making events.
As an environmentalist it is important to me that my interventions in nature are subtle and leave no lasting traces. I am not interested in creating lasting artworks, as I believe that our world is over-saturated with man-made products. I like to unfold my work into large immersive experiences, however I prefer that it live on in its documentation only, and – hopefully – in the memories of my audiences as well as those who participate in the creative effort.
I hope that "Snow Drawings" accentuates the beauty and uniqueness of the natural environment, and thus inspires awe and appreciation for nature – especially as modern society becomes increasingly disconnected from the natural world.
The Community Snow Drawing at Lake Catamount is sponsored by Steamboat Springs Arts Council, The Nature Conservancy's Carpenter Ranch, Bud Werner Memorial Library and Catamount Ranch & Club.

(part 3)
Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.
O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.
Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.
Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.
Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.
Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
Series - a group of cards within an issue deliberately split up by the manufacturer to distribute at different times of the year. (i.e.- vintage 1st series cards 1-100 were released in April and 2nd series cards 101-200 were released in July, etc.).
Short Print (SP) - a card printed to a lesser quantity than other cards in a set. Many recent short prints are also individually & serially-numbered.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!
Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades.
The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand.
The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

The general manager of a Shawnee scrap metal yard says a new Oklahoma law aimed at deterring copper thieves will level the playing field for legitimate scrap businesses as new regulations will make it more difficult for thieves to sell their stolen loot.
The general manager of a Shawnee scrap metal yard says a new Oklahoma law aimed at deterring copper thieves will level the playing field for legitimate scrap businesses as new regulations will make it more difficult for thieves to sell their stolen loot.
House Bill 1740, signed by Gov. Mary Fallin, becomes law Nov. 1. It requires all scrap metal businesses to be licensed through the state and forces dealers to check identifications of those selling large amounts of scrap and then pay them with a check rather than in cash.
"The main focus is to eliminate the smaller yards that are knowingly purchasing a lot of stolen materials," said Bill Staggs, general manger of Shawnee's Ball Pipe and Supply. He said they are in favor of the new law.
"We welcome it — it will level the playing field and eliminate fly-by-night operations," Staggs said. "I feel it's going to eliminate the less-than-reputable scrap dealers in Oklahoma."
Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth said this new law is a "huge deal" to help combat the rural copper thefts seen all over this state, including Pottawatomie County.
"We can chase copper thieves all day," Booth said, but the new regulations will mean those criminals won't find their bounty so easy to sell.
The bill prohibits a scrap metal dealer from paying cash in purchasing more than $1,000 of copper and requires the dealer to issue a check after establishing the identity of the seller.
The new law also increases the penalty for sellers providing false information for a scrap metal logbook, which becomes a felony punishable by a $5,000, imprisonment for up to two years or both fine and imprisonment. The new law also requires scrap metal dealers to be licensed through the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry.
"Copper theft is becoming widespread in rural communities in Oklahoma," said Rep. Harold Wright, R-Weatherford, who was one of the authors of the bill. "The best way to curtail it is to address scrap metal dealers, who purchase the metal. Ensuring that they are properly licensed and that they must verify the identity of those individuals coming to them with large quantities of copper will help curb this crime. We are also increasing penalties as a further deterrent."
Other than the new check requirement over cash, Staggs said Ball Pipe already requires a state driver license for every transaction, even for those bringing in aluminum cans.
John Boone, who is president of the Oklahoma Recyclers Association, said he "lived, ate and breathed" this bill for the past two years as part of a copper theft task force, where he and others determined that copper thefts continue because, "In simplest terms…a thief only steals what he can sell," Boone said.
And because they said there are many scrap dealers who don't follow the law, basically "turning their heads when illegal loads come in," those in the scrap industry decided they needed to regulate themselves and their peers.
Anyone wanting to become a scrap dealer today can send $20 to the Oklahoma Tax Commission for a sales tax permit, Boone said. But when the new law takes effect, the "meat" of the bill includes a restrictive and comprehensive licensing permit for all scrap dealers under the umbrella of the Department of Agriculture, which is also the only state agency to test and certify all weighing scales used by metal businesses in the state, he said.
Boone, who also operates metal businesses in cities including Perry and Enid, said legitimate scrap dealers "won't have to change their business model" with this new law.
"But if they're breaking the law and are a shady dealer, they'll have to change their whole business model," Boone said. "These guys buying the materials are assisting the criminals."
Until the law takes effect, though, Booth said things could get a little busy for law enforcement.
"There could be a lot of copper thefts from now until Nov. 1," the sheriff said, adding he'll have deputies on high alert in the coming months.

Please use all candles menorahs, candle holders, matches and related products safely and follow fire safety rules:
According to The National Candle Association, consumers must follow basic fire safety rules when burning candles:
Before lighting, trim the wick to ¼ inch. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping or flaring.
Always use a candleholder specifically designed for candle use.
Burn candles in a well-ventilated room.
Place the candleholder on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.
Avoid drafts, vents or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and excessive dripping.
Follow the manufacturer`s recommendations for proper use.
While burning never touch or move a burning candle. Never move a votive or container candle when the wax is liquefied.
Don`t burn a candle all the way down. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 2 inches of wax remains.
Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check for unwanted drafts before re-lighting.
Always keep the candle within your sight. If you are going to leave the room, be sure to first blow out all candles.
Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle. It`s the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.
Never use water to extinguish a candle. Water can cause the hot wax to splatter and might break a glass container.
Make sure the candle is completely out and the wick ember is no longer glowing before leaving the room.
Don`t touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.
DISCLAIMER: Please be sure to follow the product and candle safety and care tips. Be sure to burn your candle responsibly. Clixie Ltd. is not and will not be held responsible for any injuries, damages, or losses of any kind as a result of improper or neglectful burning of our products. Purchasing candles and candle products items on the worldofjudaica.com web site, acknowledges your understanding and agreement to this disclaimer. You take on full responsibility for your actions when burning your candle. We appreciate your business and thank you for reading and following this disclaimer.
