NEWPORT Gwent Dragons escaped with a share of the spoils against RaboDirect Pro12 bottom club Zebre thanks to a magnificent solo try by supersub Jevon Groves.
The flanker spotted a gap at a ruck with three minutes left and dashed over from 25 metres thanks to a combination of gas and a neat dummy.
That left Jason Tovey with a tricky conversion from the right and the fly-half nailed it to deny their hosts at the Stadio XXV Aprile.
The Dragons had headed into the game looking to strike back after heavy defeats to Ulster and Connacht.
And while they didn't get a win to keep alive their hopes of a top-half finish, Lyn Jones' men at least showed character to salvage a draw against their spirited hosts.
The Dragons enjoyed a slender 15-13 lead at the break courtesy of tries by full-back Dan Evans and centre Ashley Smith but Italy fly-half Luciano Orquera punished them with the boot in the second half.
He looked set to be the match-winner thanks to his 17-point haul only for the Dragons to strike at the death to avoid coming a cropper in Parma like Cardiff Blues.
The hosts were first to strike when they took advantage of a yellow card for number eight Taulupe Faletau for stopping a driving lineout by coming in at the side after 16 minutes.
Zebre piled the pressure on and back row forward Samuela Vunisa powered over from scrum-half Brendon Leonard's flat pass.
Luciano Orquera converted but back came the 14-man Dragons and full-back Dan Evans crossed down the right from fly-half Jason Tovey's pass after outside centre Pat Leach had burst into the 22.
A long-range penalty by Italy centre Gonzalo Garcia extended the Zebre's lead to 10-5 only for the visitors to strike back down the same flank in the 35th minute.
The Dragons piled the pressure on down in the 22 and captain Andrew Coombs' smart offload after being dragged down just short enabled wing Tom Prydie to put centre Ashley Smith over.
Tovey converted and then traded penalties with Orquera for a two-point lead at the break.
It continued to be nip and tuck in the second half with the lead changing hands thanks to the boots of the fly-halves.
Orquera made it 16-15 after 47 minutes only for Tovey to respond on 54 but a quickfire pair of Zebre penalties meant that the Dragons were chasing the game in the final quarter.
And when the 32-year-old number 10 bisected the posts to make it 25-18 with seven minutes left, the Dragons knew that a fourth successive win against the Italians was unlikely.
Instead they were chasing a share of the spoils and it was Groves that got them that just minutes after replacing flanker Lewis Evans.
Zebre: G Palazzani, L Sarto, T Iannone, G Garcia (K Ratuvou 56, D Odiete 79), D Berryman (G Venditti 56), L Orquera, B Leonard, S Perugini (M Aguero 40), D Giazzon (T D'Apice 62), D Ryan (D Chistolini 40), Q Geldenhuys, M Bortolami (captain, M Van Vuuren 40), F Ferrarini, A Van Schalkwyk, S Vunisa.

Cheri Lovre, MS, a counselor with more than 30 years experience in dealing with school and other tragedies will be in the area this week providing training to local school officials and meeting with the public in two nearby cities.
Lovre is the director of Crisis Management Institute and specializes in working with youth in the field of crisis response, prevention, grief and trauma.
Cheri Lovre, MS, a counselor with more than 30 years experience in dealing with school and other tragedies will be in the area this week providing training to local school officials and meeting with the public in two nearby cities.
Lovre is the director of Crisis Management Institute and specializes in working with youth in the field of crisis response, prevention, grief and trauma.
Her greatest strength in responding in the moment to catastrophic events that are unfolding (when districts call and are still in lock-down) is helping them predict many dynamics and prepare for the hundreds of soon-to-surface challenges that feel like one more crisis. Just knowing ahead of time allows administrators to prepare and mitigate the tsunami of needs that will arise.
Her work spans consulting to administrators, training counselors/school psychologists in acute trauma response, crafting messages for media, dealing with how students will re-enter the building following clean-up, and long-term recovery.
She will provide free, one hour seminars open to the public beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 30, at Frontier Community College's Foundation Hall and 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31, at Eldorado High School.
The meetings are sponsored by Regional Office of Education 20 and WOVSED as well as the local school districts.
Lovre will also be providing a two-day training seminar for Unit 5 personnel and other interested educators on Jan. 31 and Feb 3 at Crossroads Church in Norris City.
The registration fee is $750 for each five-member team. The fee includes one crisis resource manual per team as well as lunch and drinks and snacks for both days.
Please contact Jim Taylor at ROE 20 at 382-5223 for more information about the training. Continuing education credits for teacher and administrators will apply.
"We're all working hard to figure out how to meet the needs of our youth amidst unparalleled change," Lovre said. "We have concerns about whether our schools are safe; parents usually have no idea what sites their kids have visited on the internet; we wonder whether we're doing all we can to prevent youth suicide and so much more."
Lovre has been creating resources for schools for 30 years, but only recently has created a resource page just for parents. This page includes downloadable guidelines, online learning segments and informational videos to help parents at times when their kids are struggling. She continues to add to those resources.
Following Sept. 11, 2001, she received a call from the office of the Chancellor of New York on 9/11 as events were unfolding and spent much of the following two years serving the 29 "schools that fled" as the towers collapsed.
Lovre responded to a school shooting in May 1998, when 24 were shot and four died in Springfield, Ore. Thurston High School is likely the only mass casualty school shooting that did not result in any lawsuits toward the school, toward any staff or any emergency workers or agencies.
Her work there was as direct support to the leadership of the crisis response team and administrators in the district. Just a quick thumbnail of details included consulting with administrators, debriefing staff from both schools who had deaths, co-leading (with the district lead psychologist) the organization of the entire response, providing update training on acute trauma for 150 crisis team members from across the county, leading community meetings, organizing the meeting for students and parents the following morning, organizing the first visit back to the school for students before having a "regular" school day, returning of belongings that had become a part of the crime scene and much, much more.
That summer she was asked to begin a three-year training program for the National Association of Secondary School Principals, and she and two from that team were called into the aftermath of Columbine. She spent a week on-site in each of those events.

Erotic Massage in B48?
The present pattern with most agencies featuring erotic massage in B48 is usually to use overly fake photos. They change everything from human body condition, dress dimensions and in some cases the faces on the girls in order that they are absolutely unrecognisable on assembly them. Any time you get there at your scheduling you can get the shock of one's daily life the woman appears to be practically nothing like her images in any way!
Some agencies even go so far as applying fake pictures altogether that are not even the lady you are taking into consideration to visit. Their recreation approach is usually to appeal to you to definitely the lady's location and hope that while she is naturally not the lady you saw from the photo, that you simply stay in any case! This sort of fraud is referred to as a bait and switch, the place the agency will bait you with one set of pictures and swap the girl with someone who seems reasonably like her.
A lot of erotic massage agencies in B48 utilise escorts and provide the to customers as tantric masseuses. Whats the deal with this? The problem is the fact that escorts have a tendency to finish you up as fast as they can and move to the next. This goes versus the full stage of the tantric massage while you can imagine! This really is also a sign of a girl that dont know anything about tantric massage or even worst how to do it appropriately.

When Joe Lear put down his trombone in 1939, he planned to pick it up as soon as he settled down. Sure enough, 50 years later, after getting a trombone as a Christmas present, he founded the Milford Community Band –Delaware's most senior year-round community band.
When Joe Lear put down his trombone in 1939, he planned to pick it up as soon as he settled down. Sure enough, 50 years later, after getting a trombone as a Christmas present, he founded the Milford Community Band –Delaware's most senior year-round community band.
"I was helping with the Milford High School Band in 1989 and I complained to the band director that I didn't have any place to play," Lear said. "He suggested that I start a community band. So I did."
Lear put an ad in the paper and eight people responded. Those "original eight" have grown to nearly 45 with musicians coming and going. The youngest member is in seventh grade and the elder statesman is Lear at 88. Four of the original eight are still on board. They are Lear, Margie Newnom, Bill Mayhew and Tony Perrone. Membership rules are simple — you have to have a horn and know how to read music.
Today, the MCB gives 80 performances per year, half of which are performed as "public service," for which no donation is received. The MCB is actually several bands in one as they form ensembles that play every form from Dixieland to Oompah.
Lear prefers Dixieland because of its risqué themes and feel.
"It's outlaw music, bootleggers' music" he said, of the sound originated in speakeasies in the late 1890s through the Roaring '20s.
The band has played many historic D.C. sites as well as most Kent/Sussex holiday festivals. Their two biggest events are their Summer and Christmas Concerts. Half of their shows are performed free-of-charge at nursing homes, hospitals and senior centers.
The Long and Winding Road
Lear was born in Texas in 1924. His musical love affair began the first time he picked up a trombone in high school.
"When the band director asked what I played, I answered 'what do you need?' He said they needed trombone players. That's when I became a trombone player," he said.
Lear paid $25 for a used trombone and started practicing.
"I must have driven my parents crazy," he said. "Later, I worked and paid for a better trombone for $150. I wore that out, too."
But then high school graduation, a world war, and life in general intervened and Lear's trombone went silent. He entered the army and had just completed basic training when World War II ended but he decided to stay in the military. After the military, he began his second career with General Foods in Dover. He retired from General Foods in 1986 and decided, at age 62, to go to college. It was around this time that he mentioned to his wife that he wouldn't mind taking up the trombone again. That Christmas, a new trombone glistened under the tree. He joined the Wesley Jazz Band and performed with them until he left to assist the Milford High School Band.
I'm with the band
It was here he complained to the band director and got the response that changed his life. The MCB's first gig was April 1990 at the Wesley Jazz Festival.
"I love to play because of the fellowship," Lear said. "There are very few bad people in community bands. The whole focus of community bands is to make music together."
Kay Meade, who has been playing in the band since 2000, agrees.
"I've been playing with my kids since they were teenagers," Meade said. "And you know how it is raising teenagers? Even when we weren't talking, we were still playing together."
A little help from their friends
The recession has wreaked financial havoc on many bands, but the biggest deficit may be cultural.
"When orchestras put on concerts the entire downtown community thrives," said Bruce Ridge, of the conference of Symphony and Opera Musicians. The MCB is a 501 (C) (3)nonprofit organization. They receive a small grant from The Delaware Division of Arts. The rest comes from donations and ticket sales. Selling tickets has always been a challenge. They need more financial support from their fans.
In 2015, the MCB will celebrate its 25-year anniversary with a concert playing an original score written for them. Until then, they will continue to perform, mostly for free, in front of their fans.

Huskers Hope to Stay Hot to End Big Ten First Half at Ohio State
The Nebraska women's basketball team closes the first half of regular-season Big Ten Conference play by traveling to Ohio State for a Thursday night battle with the Buckeyes.
Tip-off between the Huskers (14-6, 4-3 Big Ten) and the Buckeyes (11-9, 1-6 Big Ten) is set for 7:30 p.m. (central) with live national television coverage on the Big Ten Network. Eric Collins and Stephanie White will call the action for BTN.
The Husker Sports Network will provide a live radio broadcast of the game with Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch on the call, including flagships B107.3 FM in Lincoln, The Wolf 93.3 FM in Omaha and 880 AM KRVN in Lexington. A free live audio stream will be available on Huskers.com.
Nebraska hopes to continue building momentum after notching back-to-back Big Ten wins at Minnesota (84-63, Jan. 20) and over No. 25 Michigan State (59-54, Jan. 24) last week. The Huskers enjoyed their first weekend bye and will head to Ohio State shooting for their first win in Columbus since 1990.
Jordan Hooper (18.2 ppg, 8.8 rpg), Lindsey Moore (15.3 ppg, 5.5 apg, 2.0 spg) and Emily Cady (9.8 ppg, 7.6 rpg) provide the Huskers with three legitimate All-Big Ten-caliber performers.
The Big Red's "Big Three" will try to offset the explosiveness of Tayler Hill - the Big Ten's leading scorer. Hill enters Thursday's game averaging 24.5 points per game in Big Ten play, and 21.0 points per contest on the year. Unfortunately for Hill, the Buckeyes have been limited by illness and injury throughout the first half of conference play.
Reigning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Amber Stokes missed four games with a knee injury before returning in a limited role in Sunday's loss to Ohio State. Stokes scored four points in 20 minutes and helped the Buckeyes carry a 37-28 halftime lead to the locker room against No. 8 Penn State at Value City Arena in Columbus. Penn State outscored OSU 43-19 in the second half.

Head Coach: Jim Foster (Temple, 1980)
11th Season at OSU (272-78); 35th Season Overall (776-303)
Moore First Husker with 1,400 Points, 600 Assists
Last week, Lindsey Moore crossed the 600-career assist plateau and became the first Husker in history with 1,400 points and 600 assists. In fact, no other Husker has ever scored 1,200 points and dished out 600 assists.
Moore enters the Ohio State game with 1,466 points and 614 assists. She also has 188 career steals. She ranks No. 11 at Nebraska in career points and No. 2 in career assists. Moore needs just two more steals to join NU's career top 10 in that category as well.
Scouting the Ohio State Buckeyes
Coach Jim Foster brings a recovering Ohio State lineup into Thursday night's game with Nebraska. The Buckeyes entered the offseason with four returning starters minus All-Big Ten and WNBA point guard Samantha Prahalis from last year's team that ran to a 25-7 overall record and an 11-5 Big Ten mark (Tied-2nd).
OSU was dealt a blow in the offseason when returning starter Kalpana Beach suffered a torn ACL and was knocked out for the season. Despite the setback, senior guards Tayler Hill and Amber Stokes kept the Buckeyes in the top 25 by running to a 10-3 non-conference mark. However, Stokes suffered a sprained knee against Illinois on Jan. 6 and missed four games. Stokes was expected to miss four weeks, but returned to action in Ohio State's 71-56 loss to No. 8 Penn State in Columbus on Sunday afternoon.
Stokes scored four points in 20 minutes against Penn State, as the Lady Lions notched their 14th consecutive Big Ten regular-season win.
Although OSU has been somewhat short-handed, they have continued to be competitive in the conference. OSU suffered a 77-71 overtime loss at Iowa to open Big Ten play. After taking a 79-73 home loss to Illinois, the Buckeyes suffered an 83-74 loss at Minnesota on Jan. 10. Just four days later, a Buckeye unit that was without Stokes, Hill (flu) and Maleeka Kynard (injury), battled Purdue to three overtimes in West Lafayette, Ind., before falling 82-75 on Jan. 14. OSU's lone Big Ten win came in a 68-45 run past Indiana Jan. 17, before suffering a 68-49 loss at Wisconsin Jan. 20.
Despite being limited by the loss of multiple starters, Ohio State still features one of the Big Ten's most explosive offenses. OSU is averaging 69.8 points per game, led by Hill's Big Ten-leading 21.0 points per contest. In Big Ten play, the Buckeyes have averaged 66.6 points per game with Hill averaging an astounding 24.5 points per contest, including 28 of OSU's 56 points in the loss to Penn State Sunday.
Hill has been extremely dangerous from long range at home, hitting 43.9 percent (36-82) of her three-point attempts, compared to just 24.6 percent (14-57) on the road. As a team, Ohio State is shooting 38.8 percent from three-point range and just 23.5 percent on the road.
Stokes has averaged 9.4 points per game on the year but has scored just 10 points in 66 minutes in three Big Ten games. Junior forward Darryce Moore has stepped into the Buckeye starting five and is averaging 11.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in league play. Fellow junior Ashley Adams, a 6-5 center, has added 7.1 points and a team-best 6.6 rebounds in Big Ten play. Adams is averaging 9.1 points and 6.8 boards on the year.
Freshman point guard Ameryst Alston has turned up her production significantly in Big Ten play, averaging 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and a team-best 3.4 assists in the conference. She earned Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week honors by scoring 24 points and dishing out five assists while playing all 55 minutes at Purdue. She is averaging 6.3 points and 3.0 assists per game on the year.
Sophomore guard Raven Ferguson has stepped into the starting lineup and is averaging 7.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in conference play. On the year, she is averaging 6.7 points and 2.7 boards per game.
Although they have suffered some key injuries, Ohio State still has one of the deepest benches in the Big Ten. Eight different players have earned starts for OSU in Big Ten play, while 13 players have seen action in Big Ten contests.
Aleksandra Dobranic, a 6-4 junior center, has made nine starts on the year and is averaging 3.9 points and 2.1 rebounds. Martina Ellerbe, a 6-2 junior forward, has earned one non-conference start and is averaging 3.1 points and 2.6 boards. Cait Craft, a 5-8 freshman guard and the younger sister of Buckeye men's point guard Aaron Craft, started OSU's triple-overtime loss at Purdue and played 51 minutes. She is averaging 2.8 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
Senior forward Emilee Harman (2.2 ppg, 1.3 rpg), and sophomore guards Shelbi Honeycutt (1.1 ppg, 0.5 rpg) and Amy Scullion (0.9 ppg, 0.9 rpg) also have seen significant playing time.
While Ohio State's offense has continued to put up points, the Buckeyes' defense has suffered, especially with the loss of Stokes - the reigning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. Ohio State has surrendered 72.1 points per contest in league play while being outrebounded by 1.4 boards per game in Big Ten action.

Laudermill Igniting Huskers at Both Ends off Bench
Tear'a Laudermill is showing growth and maturity in her game over the past two months. The 5-9 sophomore guard from Riverside, Calif., has developed into a consistent offensive threat off the bench while providing pesky defense as Nebraska's defensive hound.
Laudermill matched her career high with 14 points in NU's win at Indiana Jan. 10, and made it nearly impossible for the Hoosier guards to initiate Indiana's offense. She played a major role in holding the Hoosiers to just 24 points in the game's first 33 minutes.
After scoring only six total points in Nebraska's first four games this season, Laudermill had scored at least four points 14 straight contests before settling for two points in NU's 84-63 win at Minnesota.

Moore owns an 83-35 record as Nebraska's starting point guard and has guided the Huskers to a pair of NCAA Tournaments.
Meggan Yedsena (1991-94) owns the Nebraska record for consecutive career starts, after she started all 120 games in her outstanding four-year career from 1990-91 through 1993-94. Yedsena is the only Husker in history to start every game of a four-year career. Kelsey Griffin, a 2010 first-team All-American and a teammate of Moore's in 2009-10, owns the NU career record with 127 starts.
Moore's Minutes Could Be Unmatched in Husker History

"She has experienced a lot of pain the past two seasons, and hopefully with rest, she can lead a normal life after basketball. Adri is an outstanding student, and we expect her to continue to do a great job as she focuses on academics."

Hooper and Moore were among 25 college players named to the 2012-13 preseason Wade Watch List, announced by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) on Sept. 18. They joined each other on the Preseason Wooden Award Top 30 on Nov. 9.

Hooper, a 6-2 junior forward from Alliance, Neb., was named to the preseason All-Big Ten team by both the conference coaches and media. In 2011-12, Hooper was one of five first-team All-Big Ten selections, while also earning Big Ten All-Tournament honors. She ranked third in the Big Ten in scoring (18.3 ppg), while leading the Big Ten in both rebounding (9.3 rpg) and double-doubles (14) last season.

Huskers Load Up 2012-13 Schedule
Nebraska's 31-game regular-season schedule features 19 games against 2012 postseason squads. NU's schedule is highlighted by 13 games against 2012 NCAA Tourament teams, including a matchup with Elite Eight qualifier Maryland and two games with NCAA Sweet 16 Penn State. The Huskers play three games against 2012 WNIT teams and three contests against WBI participants.
The Huskers also play seven games against six teams that won conference titles in 2012. Maryland headlines the list of conference champs after claiming the 2012 ACC Tournament title. The Terps finished with a 31-5 record at No. 6 in the AP poll. NU also faces Big Ten regular-season champ Penn State twice and Big Ten Tournament champ Purdue once. In non-conference play, the Huskers tangled with Big Sky Conference champ Idaho State, Missouri Valley Conference champ Creighton and Summit League Conference champ South Dakota State.
Big Red, Big Ten Schedule Strengths on the Rise
Nebraska's Strength of Schedule continues to climb according to RealTime RPI, which lists the Huskers' SOS No. 23 in the nation. Overall, the Big Ten schedule strength's are impressive, including Penn State (11), Iowa (12), Wisconsin (21), Purdue (25), Illinois (31), Ohio State (34), Michigan (44), Northwestern (46), Minnesota (51), Michigan State (61) and Indiana (124) through games Jan. 28.

Six of Nebraska's non-conference opponents won 20 or more games last season, led by Maryland's 31.
Perhaps an even stronger indicator of the depth of Nebraska's schedule is that the Huskers will play 20 games against teams that won 18 or more games, while 12 of the Huskers' 13 non-conference opponents won at least 14 games a year ago.
Injuries Continue to Slow Down Huskers
Nebraska's offseason featured a laundry list of injuries. NU's entire starting five played injured in the Huskers' NCAA Tournament loss to Kansas to end the 2011-12 season.

Lindsey Moore was slowed by a reoccurring injury, while NU's lone center Adrianna Maurer tried to recover from major back surgery in January of 2012. Maurer announced the end of her basketball career at Nebraska on Jan. 7, 2013, because of continuing pain. Senior forward Meghin Williams has been limited in practice throughout her four-year career by foot injuries.
Freshman guard Rachel Theriot missed nearly three weeks of practice with a stress reaction in her foot, bringing the list of Huskers severely limited in practice to seven on a daily basis.
Nebraska's other freshmen, Courtney Aitken and Sadie Murren, and sophomores Brandi Jeffery, Tear'a Laudermill and Katie Simon were healthy throughout fall practice. However, Aitken has been wearing a walking boot on her foot since mid-December and has not played since Dec. 5. Jeffery did not play at Penn State Jan. 13 because of a foot injury.

After starting 33 consecutive games together in 2011-12, Nebraska's four returning starters Lindsey Moore (118), Jordan Hooper (84) and sophomores Emily Cady (53) and Hailie Sample (53) have started all 20 games together in 2012-13.
However, Nebraska's fifth starting spot has changed in 2012-13 with sophomore guard Brandi Jeffery starting NU's first six games and freshman Rachel Theriot starting the Huskers' last 14 contests.
In 2011-12, fifth-year senior guard Kaitlyn Burke joined Moore, Hooper, Cady and Sample in NU's starting lineup for every game.
Consistent starting lineups are nothing new for the Huskers under Coach Connie Yori. In fact, three times in Yori's 11 seasons Nebraska has used the same starting five for every game in a season, including all 33 games in 2011-12. The 2006-07 Huskers featured the same starting five for 32 games on their way to a 22-10 season and the NCAA Tournament. Yori's 2003-04 Huskers also used the same starting five for 30 games on their way to an 18-12 season and a WNIT bid.
A full year with the same starting five is rare in women's college basketball. In fact, Nebraska was the only Big Ten team to feature the same starting five throughout 2011-12, and was one of only three teams in the 2012 NCAA Tournament to start the same five every game. Kansas State and BYU were the others.
Over the past eight seasons (including 2012-13), Nebraska has used only 20 different starting lineups in 246 games.
Moore, Hooper Climbing Nebraska Career Scoring List
Lindsey Moore and Jordan Hooper have flown up the Nebraska career scoring chart during their time as Huskers. Moore, a 5-9 senior guard from Covington, Wash., ranks No. 11 at Nebraska with 1,466 points, and needs 34 points to reach 1,500. Moore is 75 points behind Angie Miller (1,541, 1984-87) in 10th place on the Huskers' all-time scoring list.
Hooper, a 6-2 junior forward from Alliance, Neb., ranks No. 12 on the Husker scoring list with 1,442 points. Hooper needs 24 points to catch Moore despite playing 34 fewer games. In 2011-12, Hooper became NU's first sophomore to reach 1,000 career points, achieving the mark in her 60th game.
Hooper Building Off Super Sophomore Campaign
Jordan Hooper became the first sophomore in school history to produce 600 points and 300 rebounds in the same season, finishing the 2011-12 campaign with 624 points and 306 boards. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., became just the fourth Husker ever to accomplish the feat.
Hooper, an honorable-mention AP All-American and a first-team All-Big Ten pick, set the Nebraska sophomore single-season scoring record with 624 points. She eclipsed the 609 points scored by Kiera Hardy in 2004-05. Hooper's 306 rebounds marked the third-highest total in school history by a sophomore, trailing only 372 by Janet Smith in 40 games in 1979-80) and 314 by Carol Garey in 36 games in 1978-79. Hooper's 9.3 rebounds per game matched Smith's sophomore record. Only one other sophomore in NU history - Kathy Hagerstrom (1980-81) scored 500 points and grabbed 250 boards.
Hooper's sophomore production was on a similar level to the two most productive seasons in school history. Karen Jennings, the 1993 Wade Trophy winner and a first-team All-American, produced 810 points and 319 rebounds in 32 games as a junior in 1991-92. Kelsey Griffin, a finalist for every national player-of-the-year award in 2010 and a first-team All-American, produced 685 points and 354 rebounds in 34 games as a senior.
Fastbreakers Announce Backboard Event Schedule
The Fastbreakers Booster Club set the dates for three Backboard Events during the 2012-13 season. The events, which are held in the northwest corner of the upper concourse at the Devaney Center, tipped off on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 5:30 p.m., 90 minutes before Nebraska's game against Maryland in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

Hooper Puts Up Double-Doubles at Record Rate
Jordan Hooper has climbed into a tie for third on Nebraska's career double-double list after producing her seventh of the 2012-13 season with 11 points and 11 rebounds at Indiana Jan. 10. It was Hooper's second straight double-double following a 15-point, 14-rebound effort against No. 14 Purdue Jan. 5. Hooper owns 24 career double-doubles, matching Nafeesah Brown on the NU career chart.
In non-conference play, Hooper notched 24 points and 14 rebounds in NU's win at South Florida on Dec. 16. It was Hooper's second straight double-double, after producing 36 points and 12 boards in a win over No. 24 Florida State on Dec. 8.
Hooper became just the seventh Husker in history to produce at least 20 career double-doubles, when she registered 29 points and 10 boards in NU's win over Idaho State on Dec. 1. Hooper added a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds against Sam Houston State Nov. 20, after notching her first double-double of the year with 12 points and 14 boards against Temple Nov. 11.
Hooper led the Big Ten and ranked among the top 25 players nationally with 14 double-doubles in 2011-12. Hooper, who produced double figures in 32 of Nebraska's 33 games, recorded 14 double-figure rebounding performances as a sophomore. Hooper's 14 double-doubles ranked as the third-highest single-season total in school history, trailing only first-team All-American Kelsey Griffin's 20 in 2009-10, and Nafeesah Brown's 16 in 1993-94. Griffin and Brown were both seniors when they produced their impressive double-figure totals.
Hooper became just the fifth player in Nebraska history to post double-figure double-doubles in a season, joining Griffin (10, 2006-07, 20, 2009-10), Brown (16, 1993-94), Karen Jennings (13, 1990-91, 13, 1991-92), Maurtice Ivy (10, 1985-86) and Carol Garey (10, 1978-79).
Hooper, a 6-2 junior forward from Alliance, Neb., had 25 points and 10 rebounds in the Big Ten Championship Game loss to No. 21 Purdue on March 4. She added 21 points and 10 rebounds against No. 14 Ohio State in the Big Ten semifinals March 3, and 15 points and 10 boards in little more than a half against Iowa in the Big Ten quarterfinals on March 2.
Hooper produced arguably her most eye-popping double-double with 19 points and a career-high 18 rebounds in NU's win over Wisconsin Feb. 19, 2012. Her 18 boards tied for the 12th-highest total in school history and were the most by a Husker since Charlie Rogers grabbed 20 against Drake on Dec. 2, 1999.
Hooper added back-to-back double-doubles with 22 points and 15 rebounds against Iowa Jan. 26, and 12 points and 16 rebounds at Illinois Jan. 29. She notched double-doubles in a personal-best four straight games from Dec. 18, 2011 to Jan. 5, 2012.
Huskers, Big Ten Earn Top 25 Mention in Polls
Nebraska continues to receive votes in both major national polls, after having its school-record streak of 24 straight weeks listed in at least one of the major national top 25 polls snapped Jan. 14-15.
In the Big Ten, Penn State and Purdue have been ranked in the top 25 in every poll this season, while the Huskers spent 10 weeks in the USA Today top 25 and six weeks in the AP Poll. Ohio State appeared in every USA Today poll until dropping out Jan. 8. The Buckeyes slipped from the AP Poll on Dec. 17.
Michigan, Michigan State and Iowa have given the Big Ten seven different teams ranked in the Associated Press top 25 so far this season. Illinois (AP, Jan. 7) and Minnesota (USA, Nov. 20) give the balanced Big Ten nine teams that have received votes in at least one poll this season.
Nebraska non-conference opponents have also littered the polls this season, led by AP No. 10 Maryland and AP No. 20 Florida State. Creighton and South Florida have also received votes in numerous polls.
Yori's Huskers Own Success Against Top 25 Foes
Nebraska has made a habit of knocking off top-25 opponents during Connie Yori's 11 seasons at the helm. In fact, the Huskers' 59-54 win over No. 25 Michigan State on Jan. 24, 2013, marked NU's 27th win over an AP Top 25 foe under Yori, including the second this season. Nebraska also knocked off then-No. 24 Florida State, 78-77, on Dec. 8, 2012. It was the Seminoles' first loss of the season.
The Huskers defeated No. 14 Ohio State (March 3, 2012), after knocking off the No. 8 Buckeyes (Feb. 26). The first win over OSU marked NU's sixth victory over a top-10 foe under Yori. Prior to Yori's arrival at Nebraska in 2002-03, the Huskers owned just one win over a top 10 opponent in school history.
NU produced five wins over AP Top 25 teams (at game time) in 2011-12, including a 93-89 triple overtime win at No. 15 Purdue (Feb. 2). The Huskers also knocked off No. 16 Penn State (Dec. 30) on the road in their first-ever Big Ten Conference game, while defeating No. 23 USC (Nov. 18) at the Devaney Center.
In 2009-10, the Huskers set the school single-season mark with eight wins over top-25 teams. NU's top-25 wins that season came against No. 5 LSU, No. 9 Baylor, No. 10 Oklahoma State, No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 12 Texas A&M, No. 13 Iowa State, No. 16 Iowa State and No. 22 UCLA. The win over No. 9 Baylor and freshman Brittney Griner, was Nebraska's first-ever road win over a top-10 team. The Huskers' three wins over top-10 foes in 2009-10, matched Nebraska's previous total from the previous 35 seasons.
The highest-ranked team Nebraska has ever defeated was the 2004-05 Baylor team that went on to win the national title. NU outlasted No. 2 BU, 103-99 in triple overtime on Jan. 12, 2005. The Huskers' 21-point win over No. 10 OSU on Feb. 3, 2010, marked NU's largest victory margin ever over a top-10 team. Nebraska's 29-point win over No. 14 Iowa State in 2005 was NU's largest victory margin in history over a top-25 foe. Nebraska's 56-45 win over No. 15 Texas at the Devaney Center in 2008 also marked the lowest point total ever allowed by the Huskers against a ranked opponent.
Before Yori's arrival at Nebraska in 2002-03, the Huskers had not defeated a top-10 team since a 73-67 win over No. 9 Iowa on Dec. 8, 1996, and had never beaten a top-five opponent.
Nebraska's History of Success at Home
The Huskers produced a 13-3 record at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in 2011-12. Since the Devaney Center opened in 1976-77, the Huskers are 385-129 (.749) in games played in the arena, including 143-87 (.622) in conference games. Since 2003-04, NU is 121-33 (.786) at the Devaney Center.
NU has posted double-figure home victory totals in 10 consecutive seasons, including a perfect 16-0 mark in 2009-10. NU was 11-4 at home in 2010-11. The Huskers are 10-3 at the Devaney Center in 2012-13.

The 2011-12 Huskers produced another record-setting three-point season, connecting on 230 threes on a record 759 attempts. Nebraska led the Big Ten with 7.0 made threes per game, matching the school-record the Huskers set in 2010-11.
Nebraska's 230 threes surpassed the 225 the 2009-10 Huskers hit. NU's 759 attempts shattered the previous school recored of 661 also set in 2009-10.
The Huskers hit seven or more threes in 17 of 33 games in 2011-12 (UAPB-9, MVSU-14, at Florida State-9, UTPA-7, Northern Arizona-10, Vermont-8, South Dakota State-8, at Iowa-10, Penn State-7, at Ohio State-7, Minnesota-8; at Purdue-13; Michigan-9; Minnesota-8; Northwestern (Big Ten)-9; Iowa (Big Ten)-7; Ohio State (Big Ten)-9).
NU hit a season-best 14 three-pointers on 26 attempts against Mississippi Valley State, which marked the second-highest total in school history. It trailed only the 17 threes the Huskers hit against Vermont (17-33) to open the 2010-11 season. They added the third-best mark by draining 13-of-34 threes on the road in an epic 93-89 triple-overtime victory at No. 15 Purdue on Feb. 2. Nebraska also connected on 10-of-19 threes in a win at Iowa on Jan. 8, after hitting 10-of-22 threes at Northern Arizona on Dec. 10. Nebraska attempted a school-record 37 threes in the loss to Michigan Feb. 9, while connecting on 9. NU went 8-for-22 in the second half against the Wolverines.
Prior to 2009-10, the school-record for three-pointers made in a season was 173. Coach Connie Yori's Husker teams own the top nine three-point shooting seasons in school history. Before Yori's arrival, no Husker team had hit more than 132 threes in a season, or attempted more than 437.
Hooper Leads Assault on Husker Three-Point Records
In addition to her impressive scoring and rebounding numbers, Jordan Hooper has hit three-pointers at a record-breaking rate since her arrival at Nebraska. The 6-2 forward shattered the NU single-season freshman record with 67 threes (67-184, 36.4 percent) in 2010-11, and drained 67 more threes in 2011-12, which is the second-best total by a sophomore in Nebraska history. Hooper's 2011-12 season total trailed only Kiera Hardy's school-record total of 85 set as a sophomore in 2004-05.
In 84 career games, Hooper has hit 185 three-pointers to rank second on the Nebraska career list. She passed Yvonne Turner (183 3FG, 2007-10) in second place on the NU career list by knocked down a trio of threes in the Huskers' win over No. 25 Michigan State Jan. 24. Kiera Hardy (267 3FG, 2004-07) owns the Nebraska record.
In 2010-11, Hooper tied the Nebraska single-game record with seven three-pointers at Missouri on Feb. 2, 2011. She scored 31 points against the Tigers, including 28 on six threes in the second half alone.
Hooper Plays Beast on Boards
Jordan Hooper led the Big Ten and ranked among the nation's top rebounders with 9.3 boards per game as a sophomore in 2011-12.
Her 18-rebound effort in a win over Wisconsin on Feb. 19 put her in rare company in the Nebraska record books, tying for the 12th-highest single-game total in school history. It also marked the best rebound total by a player in Coach Connie Yori's first 11 seasons at Nebraska. It was also the highest total by a Husker since Charlie Rogers grabbed 20 rebounds against Drake on Dec. 2, 1999.
Hooper's 18-board performance represented her third time in seven games with 15 or more rebounds. She became just the seventh player in Husker history to grab 15 or more rebounds three times in a career. and just the sixth Husker to pull down 15 or more boards three times in a season, joining Janet Smith, Carol Garey, Nafeesah Brown, Pyra Aarden and most recently, Keasha Cannon-Johnson (2001-02).
In back-to-back games last season, Hooper grabbed 15 rebounds in a win over Iowa (Jan. 26), before ripping down 16 boards in a victory at Illinois (Jan. 29). She joined Smith and Aarden as the only Huskers to pull down 15 or more boards in back-to-back games.
Huskers Worked Overtime for Wins in 2011-12
Nebraska went 2-1 in overtime in 2011-12, and the three extra-long games went a combined seven overtimes. The seven overtimes were the most the Huskers played in a single season in school history, and marked the first time that NU played multiple multi-overtime games in the same season.
The Huskers' 93-89 3OT win at No. 15 Purdue on Feb. 2, was the first road triple-overtime game in school history and marked the second overall 3OT game (NU 103, Baylor 99 3OT, Jan. 12, 2005). Nebraska added a 74-70 double-overtime loss against the Boilermakers in the championship game of the Big Ten Tournament on March 4 in Indianapolis, Ind.
Nebraska notched a 97-88 double-overtime win at Northern Arizona on Dec. 10. The wins at NAU and Purdue marked the first time Nebraska won two true road overtime games in the same season.
The Huskers have played 35 overtime games in school history, but just six multi-overtime games, with three of those coming in 2011-12. NU is 5-1 all-time in multi-overtime games, and 18-17 overall in OT. The Huskers are 5-3 in OT in Coach Connie Yori's 10 seasons at NU. The last time Nebraska won two overtime games in the same season was 1995-96, when the Huskers went 2-1, including a double-overtime win against Colorado. NU went 3-0 in overtime games in 1975-76, with all three of those games coming against non-Division I teams on neutral courts.
Pinnacle Bank Arena to Provide New Home to Huskers in 2013-14
Nebraska continues preparations to move into its new home for men's and women's basketball - Pinnacle Bank Arena - next season. Construction on the $179 million arena has marched ahead of schedule with favorable building conditions for more than a year.
The Huskers will continue to call the new Hendricks Training Complex home for practice, while the Nebraska volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics team will call the Devaney Center home for competition.
The arena project was approved by voters in May 2010. Pinnacle Bank Arena is expected to open in the fall of 2013. Nebraska men's and women's basketball teams will be the primary tenants of the 470,400-square-foot facility, which can hold nearly 15,000 fans for Husker hoops.
As the exclusive sponsor of the arena and arena site, the new arena website will be PinnacleBankArena.com. The agreement also calls for Pinnacle Bank to receive: three exterior signs; the Pinnacle Bank Arena logo on the center-hung scoreboard, public exterior doors and adjacent light pole banners; signs on the main and upper concourses; use of a center court suite and use of the arena for two days per year; and three locations for ATM machines in the arena.
Huskers Made New Home at Hendricks Complex in 2011-12
The Nebraska men's and women's basketball and wrestling programs moved into their new homes at the Hendricks Training Complex in October of 2011.
The 80,000-square foot facility adjacent to the Bob Devaney Sports Center includes separate practice courts for the men's and women's basketball programs, as well as expanded locker rooms, player lounges, team rooms and offices. The $18.7 million facility includes a 5,000-square foot weight room, a completely renovated athletic training area that tripled the size of the previous area at the Devaney Center, and a nutrition station similar to the one in the Osborne Complex.
The building is named for Tom and Mary Hendricks of Pipe Creek, Texas, and their children, Jennifer and Brandon, as they provided the lead gift in this project to benefit Husker student-athletes for years to come.
Throughout the facility, efforts have been made to give student-athletes the best training environment to succeed. Both the men's and women's basketball practice gyms are a court-and-a-half with six baskets, allowing additional work while the main floor is being used. The courts themselves are made with premium maple flooring with sleeper cushions that absorb shock to minimize injury. Both gyms have advanced acoustics as well as 103-inch plasma screens.
The amenities inside the facility are top-of-the-line, as the main entrance features a two-story abstract net sculpture, as well as a granite fountain imported from China. The facility also features two video walls and 63 TVs. The women's lounge features three 65-inch televisions and a unique LED bubble wall. The Huskers have a custom locker room with iPads built into the lockers, as well as custom back-lit displays.
The Hendricks Training Complex is the first project completed in the Expand Their Experience Campaign. For more information on the other facility projects, visit www.ExpandTheirExperience.com.

Havers, Tvrdy, Ramacieri Feel at Home as Huskers
Nebraska women's basketball coach Connie Yori announced the signing of three talented prep stars to National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, Nov. 14, to join the Huskers for the 2013-14 season.
Allie Havers, Hannah Tvrdy and Esther Ramacieri will join the Huskers in 2013-14 hoping to continue Nebraska's tradition of postseason play. Havers, a 6-5 senior forward from Mattawan High School in Michigan, will bring outstanding height, length and athleticism to the Huskers. Tvrdy, one of the winningest players in Nebraska High School history from prep power Seward, adds another player with a point guard's mentality to the Husker backcourt. Ramacieri adds international flavor to the Husker class, as the fourth Canadian to sign with Nebraska in 11 seasons under Yori.
"We're excited about the addition of Hannah, Allie, and Esther to our Husker family," Yori said. "They all are hard-working kids who fit in our system both on and off the court."
Allie Havers
6-5, Forward, Paw Paw, Mich. (Mattawan)
Ranked as the No. 76 overall player in the nation, Allie Havers earned first-team Michigan Class A honors from the Associated Press and Detroit Free Press in 2012. A first-team All-South Michigan Athletic Conference selection each of her first three seasons at Mattawan High School for Coach Troy Wright, the 6-5 Havers was also the Kalamazoo Area Player of the Year in 2012.
As a junior at Mattawan, Havers averaged 17.9 points, 11.8 rebounds, 5.3 blocks, 1.6 steals and 1.3 assists for the 16-7 Wildcats. She shot 50 percent from the field, including 31 percent from three-point range, while knocking down 77 percent of her free throws.
An excellent all-around athlete who has shown guard skills on the court to go along with her 6-5 frame, Havers competed for the Michigan Crossover club team coached by Emez Oliver. Havers was also a four-year letterwinner as a middle blocker/hitter on the Mattawan volleyball team, earning honorable-mention Under Armour All-America accolades as a senior. The first-team Class A all-state selection, was a nominee for Miss Volleyball in the state of Michigan. She also earned three letters as a pitcher and shortstop for the softball team, earning first-team Class A all-state recognition as a shortstop.
"We like versatile and athletic players in our program and Allie Havers fits that mold perfectly," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She can do multiple things for our basketball team with her ability to run the floor, score in the paint or face up away from the basket. She will be one of the more athletic players on our roster. Her upside is tremendous, and with our strength and conditioning program and the opportunity to focus on just one sport, we think she will thrive at Nebraska. Her future is very bright here."
Havers said she chose Nebraska over Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Green Bay and Iowa State.
"I really like the facilities, but what I really got attached to was the people," Havers said. "All of the girls are hilarious and really nice. I also loved the coaches. They were great. So it was really the people for me."
Hannah Tvrdy
5-9, Guard, Seward, Neb. (Seward)
A four-year starting guard for Nebraska prep power Seward High School, Hannah Tvrdy committed to Nebraska before her junior season for the Bluejays in 2011-12. Hannah's father, Tom, is the head coach at Seward, while her mother, Shelly (Block) was a letterwinner for the Huskers (1984-87). Shelly and Hannah will be the first mother-daughter combination in the history of Nebraska women's basketball.
As a junior in 2011-12, Tvrdy was named the honorary captain of the Class B first-team all-state squad after leading Seward to its fourth consecutive Nebraska Class B state championship with its third straight unbeaten season. The second-team Lincoln Journal Star Super-Stater averaged 15.6 points and 5.0 rebounds per game as a junior. Tvrdy earned second-team Class B all-state honors as a sophomore after averaging 12.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in 2010-11. She earned honorable-mention Class B all-state accolades as a freshman starter in 2009-10. She helped the Bluejays' winning streak reach 104 games games before it was snapped early in her senior season. The Jays are pursuing their fifth straight Class B state title. She played her first two seasons alongside current Husker Emily Cady at Seward.
Tvrdy, who was rated by ESPN as the No. 28 point guard in the nation in the class of 2013, was a teammate of Cady's and current Husker guard Sadie Murren on the Cornhusker Shooting Stars club team coached by Dan Lesoing. Hannah's father Tom was also an assistant coach for the Shooting Stars.
"Hannah is an unselfish guard with size. She can rebound and shoot and she has that 'Nebraska' blue-collar work ethic and toughness that we like," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She has been well-coached and is accustomed to competing for and winning championships. She is former teammates with some of our current Huskers, and that will help ease her transition to the Division I level."
Tvrdy said she chose Nebraska because it felt like home.
"When I visited I instantly fell in love with the program," Tvrdy said. "The coaches are wonderful, and I know they will push me every day to become a better player. When I met the team I knew I could fit in and have a great time playing with them. It just felt right, and I knew it was my future home."
Esther Ramacieri
5-8, Guard, Repentigny, Canada
(Felix Leclerc/Dawson College)
Esther Ramacieri was the final commit to the Huskers' three-player recruiting class, choosing Nebraska in September after her official visit. Ramacieri is entering her second season of CEGEP at Dawson College. She will have four years of eligibility at Nebraska. Ramacieri helped Dawson to a first-place finish at Quebec's Provincial Championships in 2011-12 and a silver medal finish at the CCAA National Championships. She averaged 7.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, while helping Dawson to an 18-2 record.
Ramacieri was chosen as Felix Leclerc High School's athlete of the year four times. She was also selected as the most valuable player of her Dawson Community Blues club team in both 2009 and 2010. In 2010-11, Ramacieri started all 26 games for the Blues and averaged 16.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game for Coach Terri Neill. Ramacieri played on bronze medal-winning teams for Quebec at the 2011 Canadian U-17 Championships and the 2008 Canadian U-15 Championships. She also helped her Lanaudiere club team to a silver medal at the 2007 Quebec Games. She served as the official flag bearer for Lanaudiere at the 2010 Quebec Games in Gatineau.
"On offense we like to play fast and Esther is an up-tempo type of guard," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "Esther is a good on-ball defender and excels at pushing the ball in transition, which makes her a great fit for our system. She is athletic, competitive, an excellent ball-handler, and a hard worker. She can score off the dribble or shoot the three. She will help provide immediate depth in our backcourt."
Ramacieri will become the fourth Canadian to compete for the Huskers in women's basketball, following 2012 Canadian Olympian Chelsea Aubry (2004-07), Kaitlyn Burke (2008-12) and Harleen Sidhu (2009-12).
"I chose Nebraska because it was the best fit for me, as far as the school, academics, coaches and players," Ramacieri said. "Once I came on the visit, I knew there was no other place that could compare to Nebraska. It felt like I was a part of a family. I've wanted to play basketball in the states ever since I was six years old, so finding a perfect fit for me was a dream come true. Nebraska was the only place that felt like home."

Tea party may lose local members to 'less partisan' group
Editor's note: This is corrected from an earlier version.
Hartford - Some local members are considering abandoning tea party groups and instead joining Americans for Prosperity, a grassroots organization aimed at educating and mobilizing citizens around economic policy issues.
"In the last 2½ years, the liberal press and Democrats have demonized the tea party to the point where when someone mentions it, they kind of roll their eyes and say 'those' people," said Norbert "Bud" Fay, chairman of Waterford Tea Party Patriots, which will be ending its alliance with the Tea Party Patriots.
Each tea party group and member will have to make its own choice as to whether to switch to the Americans for Prosperity group, stay with the tea party or become members of both.
Supporters of the change say that Americans for Prosperity has a better connotation, can raise funds and advertise, and is about issues and not a particular political party. However, Americans for Prosperity is said to have worked with the tea party, and several tea party locals say the two groups' philosophies are quite similar.
Fay said he is moving to Americans for Prosperity and plans to serve as chairman of Americans for Prosperity Shoreline.
The 55 to 60 members of the Waterford Tea Party Patriots group, members of Americans for Prosperity in New London County and the public are invited to the new group's meeting at 7 p.m. on July 24 at the Waterford Public Library, Fay said.
He said Americans for Prosperity has more than 6,000 members in New London County.
The last meeting of the Waterford Tea Party Patriots will be from 7 to 9 p.m. today at the library, Fay said. At the meeting, members will discuss termination of the group's alliance with the Tea Party Patriots and ask whether anyone wants to take over as chairman, Fay said in an email.
Mike Hannan, member of the Waterford Tea Party Patriots group, said he is switching to Americans for Prosperity because there are more fundraising opportunities and more the potential to get more people involved.
As a 501(c)4, Americans for Prosperity may collect tax-deductible funds and use them for advertising, fliers and getting out the vote, he said.
He said he also favors the group because it has a local and state focus and "seems to be non-partisan."
Fay said, "We are more inclined to have an organization that is not Republican or Democrat. It is a non-political, political organization."
The group was founded in 2004 by David H. and Charles G. Koch of Koch Industries. It has worked closely with conservative groups, according to news reports.
Joseph Romano, state director for Americans for Prosperity-Connecticut, said the Connecticut chapter's aim is to educate voters and advocate for issues such as economic freedom, cutting taxes, school choice and right to work.
"These are issues that tea party people share," he said.
Jen Ezzell, organizer of the Second District Tea Party Patriots, said not all tea party groups in Connecticut would switch. She said she has an email list of 1,500 people and it would be up to each of them to decide for themselves.
She said she didn't think local tea party groups would disappear. She said her group has been encouraging members to make an impact by serving on school boards, state central committees and town committees.
"The tea party movement is about keeping people informed and close to the source (of information) as possible," she said.
Americans for Prosperity plans to create legislative score cards on particular issues.
"We are about policy, not politics," Romano said.
Hannan, of the Waterford Tea Party Patriots group, said he hopes Americans for Prosperity would help inform people in southeastern Connecticut and would have an impact on elections, local to gubernatorial.
"(Residents) could tell you more what is going on with Beyonce or TMZ than local government," Hannan said. "It's discouraging sometimes because you feel like you are banging your head against a wall."
