Sharon Eyal's "Bill" is Back at Batsheva Dance Company
Video: Sharon Eyal's Bill
I have a confession to make: I saw Sharon Eyal's Bill three nights in a row. Besides the obvious draw of seeing Batsheva Dance Company's latest production in its first performances, I was compelled to watch the dance again and again by the kaleidoscopic complexity of Eyal's choreography for this twenty-one member group. On each repeat viewing, I got to know Bill better, uncovering even more layers in the ensemble work and noticing the nuances in the movement. The already formidable power of the dance only grew stronger with time.
For other dance enthusiasts who might want to catch Bill again – and for new audience members who have yet to be acquainted with Bill – now is your chance! Batsheva is bringing the work to the Suzanne Dellal Center for a second run from June 13-16.
This article was originally published in the Jerusalem Post as "Meet Bill."

Meet Bill

With a strong character, a quirky sense of humor, and a big heart, Bill makes a memorable first impression. But Bill is not a man. Bill is the Batsheva Dance Company's latest production by house choreographer Sharon Eyal, and it had its first run in May with performances at the Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv and the Herzliya Performing Arts Center.
When Eyal first transfixed audiences 20 years ago, it was with her own magnetic stage presence as a dancer with Batsheva. But in recent years, she has also generated buzz with her choreography. From her initial compositions presented under the framework of Batsheva Dancers Create to the evening-length, large-scale Bertolina and Makarova Kabisa, Eyal developed her distinctive artistic voice. Last season, local audiences were treated to the Batsheva Ensemble's revamped version of Eyal's earlier Love, while foreign crowds flocked to the Norwegian troupe Carte Blanche's performances of the choreographer's Killer Pig.

Now with Bill, an hour-long work for Batsheva's 21 dancers, Eyal picks up where she left off. "I feel I am in an endless process, and the creation Bill continues my latest works, Makarova Kabisa and Killer Pig," she explains.
The throughline in her creative process is no doubt strengthened by her ongoing collaboration with several artists: co-creator Guy Bachar, musician and soundtrack designer Ori Lichtik, and lighting designer Avi Yona Bueno (Bambi).
Together, this team has fashioned a thoroughly contemporary aesthetic that permeates Eyal's choreography. Like her other works, Bill is set to a virtually unceasing, throbbing blend of beats and melodies masterfully retooled by Lichtik on a sophisticated DJ system. Styled by Eyal and Bachar, the flesh-toned bodysuits that sheath the dancers like a second skin provide a ready canvas for the rich hues and striking geometry of Bambi's lighting.

In Bill, the dancers' singular look is further enhanced through piercing ice-blue contact lenses and slicked-back hair colored to match the shade of their costumes. Eyal notes, "The idea was to wear a sense of nakedness," but adds, "Nudity is not interesting enough . . . Nudity is also obvious. On the other hand, it is important to me that they will see the body, that there will be another layer that will present the mechanical side. When everyone is dressed and appears almost the same, I feel more that the individual in each one of them breaks out."
Though seemingly paradoxical, this is a fitting attitude for a choreographer who has frequently displayed a talent for marshaling large numbers of dancers across the stage, playing on the tensions between the individual and the group. A similar dynamic pervades Bill. Sometimes working as single unit and at other times clustered in small packs juxtaposed with one another, the dancers travel in a dizzying kaleidoscope of constantly changing formations. Occasionally soloists break through the mass's movement, but ultimately it is a united group pulse that drives the work forward.

Eyal remarks, "I love the dancers, especially when I see them in the duplication of the entire group as one," and her skillful arrangement of the dancers along with the identical costumes successfully produce this desired effect.
Yet part of Bill's impact lies in the nuanced workings of each individual body. Even the most basic stepping patterns are layered with subtle isolations, while more intricate phrases display the performers' virtuosity, capitalizing on their extreme flexibility and gravity-defying leaps. Batsheva's dancers are just as comfortable in slinky, undulating slow motion as they are in hard-hitting, superhuman movements executed at warp speed, and they can morph from one dynamic to the next in the blink of an eye. Equipping every dancer with an intense physicality and multiplying them together, Eyal finds a winning formula for Bill.

Release Date:November 18, 2008
Also on:PlayStation 3 PC Wii Xbox 360
Viewing USA:Also on UK.
In Alone in the Dark: Inferno, famed protagonist Edward Carnby finds himself in a modern-day New York City after being hurtled through time for reasons unknown. Carnby's memories are a blur, but he will need to quickly regain his faculties to deal with an ominous threat. A supernatural force has gripped the city, and Central Park is now infested with hideous monsters of ancient origin. Carnby will need every ounce of courage and skill to stay alive in an unfamiliar world. While the genre is known for its deliberate pace and restrictive movement, this re-imagined Alone in the Dark offers more action-oriented encounters.
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
The player of Alone In The dark will find himself with amnesia in the totally different New York City. The game started in Central Park which he will find clues to discover the mystery of the city. One of the most important features of the game is the itemization and the inventory process. The player will just be allowed to carry anything that will fit his pockets and belt. The player will be allowed to literally look at his pockets and jackets. This special feature creates a sense of security to the player that amidst the total darkness he still has the ability to fight.
All the things that the player puts in his pocket will be his weapons in killing the enemies. There are logical ways to use it such as a gas inside a bottle can make an explosion. But the purpose is to let the player think of more ideas from the things in his pockets to generate a more effective weapon. Putting lots of bullets inside a bottle, throwing it towards clustering monsters then shooting it in the air can surely make a deadly weapon. The creativity of the player is important to unravel the puzzles.
The only thing that can kill the monsters is fire. The player should not run out of fire all the time. He must get burning objects that can be chairs, stick, or a baseball bat. He can strike the monster using the flaming object. The player can set the attack by positioning the stick in the same direction then hit the enemy by clicking the flaming object from different direction. It is enjoyable to hit the monster again and again but the problems is there are times that the control is fiddly and the hit detector is not responding which can lead the player to lose the game.
The common but reliable weapon is the handgun with flaming bullets. Some weapons are illogical but it is effective in killing the monsters which can be killed only by hitting the specific scar left by their creator. There are also puzzles that don't involve killing which come out earlier or later in the game. There are also issues in maneuvering like getting inside the car, driving the car and when finding out the path away from burning and collapsing building.
The setting is not just the central park but there are also indoor events that are creatively made. Although the inconsistencies of the burning fire and some distorted faces of the characters can sometimes affect the performance of the player, the dramatic mode of the game compensates it. The good thing also is that the entire game is cut into different levels so the player can skip anytime and still have a summary of the game in every level. Though there are technicalities, still the game can provide good entertainment.

Joonas Nattinen
Jamsa Finland
Eligible for draft:
3rd round (65th overall), 2009
199 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2006-07: Joonas Nattinen scored 10 goals with 25 assists in 30 games with JYP U18 (Jr. B SM-sarja).
2007-08: Nattinen played most of his hockey with JYP U18 (Jr. B SM-sarja) netting 14 goals and 48 points in 34 games. He also tallied a pair of goals and as many assists in six games with Team Finland at the WJC-18.
2008-09: Nattinen played for several teams this season, spending the majority of it with the Blues U20 and seniors squads. In 30 games with the U20 team, he tallied nine goals and 38 points, but failed to register any points in 14 games with the top Blues club in the SM-Liiga. He also skated with the Finnish U18 and U20 teams in their respective WJC's; he won the Bronze Medal with the U18 squad, scoring a goal and four points in the process. Expect to see him back with the Blue next season.
2009-10: Nattinen would return to the Blues for a sophomore season in SM-Liiga. In 23 games, he would add 3 assists and 4 penalty minutes.
2010-11: One of the top forwards for Finland's national junior teams the past few years, Nattinen had a tough season as a 19-year-old making the transition from the junior level to the SM-Liiga. He was slowed by the effects of an achilles injury and saw limited time in eleven games with his own Espoo Blues club and finished the season on loan to HPK. In 21 regular season SM-Liiga games he had 2 assists and was -8 with 12 PMs. He had an assist and was +1 in one playoff game for HPK. Nattinen also represented Finland at the 2011 World Junior U-20 Championships, scoring 3 goals in six games. Nattinen signed a three-year entry level contract with the Canadiens in May 2011.
2011-12: Nattinen bounced throughout the Bulldogs' line-up and at times was a healthy scratch in his rookie AHL season. He started to adjust to the North American style of play and saw more responsibilities by the season's end. He improved his overall game, scoring ten goals (three on the power play) along with 11 assists and a solid minus three rating in 63 games on an offensively challenged Hamilton team.
2012-13: Nattinen played 24 games for Montreal's AHL affiliate in Hamilton in his second pro season in North America; suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in December 2012. He scored 5 goals with 4 assists and was +6 with 8 penalty minutes. The Bulldogs missed the AHL playoffs after finishing last in the North Division.
2013-14: Nattinen made his NHL debut in a January 18th game at Toronto, skating two shifts for the Canadiens in the first period of a 5-3 loss to Toronto. He played 68 games for the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs in his third season in North America. Nattinen scored 8 goals with 7 assists and was -4 with 22 penalty minutes for the Bulldogs. Hamilton missed the AHL playoffs, finishing fifth in the North Division. Nattinen signed a contract to play for MODO in Sweden in 2015-16 in June 2014. He was tendered a qualifying offer by Montreal, who retain his NHL rights.
2014-15: Nattinen was one of two players to skate in all 55 games for MODO along with defenseman Oscar Hedman in his first SHL season. He scored 7 goals with 11 assists and was -12 with 38 penalty minutes. MODO finished last in the 12-team league, avoiding relegation by sweeping Vita Hasten in a best-of-seven Kval series. Nattinen was +3 with no points and 2 penalty minutes in the four-game series.
Talent Analysis
Nattinen is a good defensive-minded center that controls the play down-low, in his own end. He uses his stick-work to break up opportunities, and is excellent at reading the play and forcing turnovers. His skating is good at the level he plays at, and while he is not the most explosive, he is agile enough to be elusive in the neutral zone. His scoring hasn't exactly caught up and there is some concern that this aspect of his game will not develop, especially at this stage in his career. He does not use his frame to engage in battles physically, although he is hard to knock off the puck once he has control of it.
Nattinen is under contract with JYP Jyväskylä for the next two seasons. The Canadiens own his rights until 2018.

President Trump tweeted Sunday morning that his burgeoning trade wars with China and other countries will have a very specific benefit to the U.S.: bringing down the national debt.
"Tariffs are working big time," Trump tweeted, adding, "Because of Tariffs we will be able to start paying down large amounts of the $21 Trillion in debt that has been accumulated, much by the Obama Administration, while at the same time reducing taxes for our people. At minimum, we will make much better Trade Deals for our country!"
The Facts: Trump's claim is "bizarre," says The Washington Post's Heather Long.
First, the president portrays tariffs as taxes on foreign companies, but the truth is that many U.S. companies, and ultimately consumers, bear the cost.
Second, with his tax cuts and spending increases, Trump will add about $1.6 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years ($1.9 trillion if you factor in interest on the additional debt), according to the Congressional Budget Office. The debt now totals more than $21 trillion. "The president has imposed tariffs on $85 billion worth of foreign goods so far," Long writes, "meaning that, at most, his tariffs would raise about $21 billion, a minuscule percentage (0.1 percent) of the debt."
On top of that, the Trump administration has announced a $12 billion aid package for farmers hurt by the tariffs. That will reduce the net total raised by the tariffs. "If other industries successfully lobby for similar bailouts—and already that talk is beginning—the price tag would be $39 billion, according to an analysis that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce published last week," Reason's Eric Boehm notes. "As a revenue question, that would put the tariffs in the red even before you take into consideration how they could reduce future growth."
At the conservative blog Hot Air, Taylor Millard put a positive spin on Trump's tweet: "It is nice to see Trump throw away his farcical claim the tariffs are being done to protect national security – even if the current reasoning is as harebrained as the previous one."
The bottom line: Trump's tariffs won't raise enough money to make a substantial dent in annual deficits set to climb above $1 trillion, let alone the $21 trillion national debt. CNBC's John Harwood, appearing on MSNBC Monday morning, put it succinctly: "This is an economic gibberish argument the president is making."

I'm so moved by the beautiful events that we share with you in our Photo Galleries. We look at a range of events--from weddings to product launches to bar mitzvahs--all with an eye toward striking design.
These photos always remind me that great design packs an emotional wallop. I read a profound quote recently in the magazine W; designer Sophie Hicks explains—better than I can—why designers wield such influence:
"Designers follow what's in the air. There's a smell, and they all get it. And they have incredibly strong views about what's right and what's wrong."
Those strong views create indelible memories.

Child Safety Seats - Common Mistakes
The photograph, above, illustrates three common and potentially life-threatening misuses.
This infant has not reached one year of age, yet she has wrongly been turned to face forward, exposing her to life-threatening crash forces should a collision occur.
The car's safety belt is threaded through the wrong belt path of the child safety seat (CSS), creating unnecessary slack and defeating the safety features of the CSS.
Finally, note the location of the locking clip, near the lower right-hand corner of the child seat; in this position, it cannot perform its intended function and could become a hazardous projectile should it dislodge during a crash.
Things to check:
- Does your car have a passenger-side air bag? An infant in a rear-facing child safety seat must NEVER be placed in front of an active airbag! Whenever possible, children should ride in the rear seat. If toddlers must ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger-side airbag, the vehicle seat must be moved back as far as possible. It is extremely important to read your vehicle owner's manual and child or booster seat instructions carefully - these are two excellent source[s] of information regarding the safe transportation of your child in your vehicle.
- Is your infant or child facing the correct way for both his/her age and weight? Effective November 1, 2019, New York State Law requires that infants riding in automobiles be kept rear-facing until age 2. If a child seat accommodates your child rear-facing to higher weights, the child should remain rear-facing until reaching the maximum height and weight recommended by the manufacturer for the child seat.
- Is your infant/child in the appropriate seat for his/her size? Each child safety seat (CSS) is manufactured to accommodate children within specified weight and height guidelines. If your child is outside the manufacturer's recommended ranges for your particular seat, your child may not receive the greatest possible safety benefits from that seat. Know your child's exact weight and height, and check the CSS instruction booklet, to be sure the seat fits the child.
- Are the harness straps threaded through the correct slots in the back of the child safety seat? Generally, the shoulder straps should be threaded through the slots that fall at or just below shoulder level for children riding rear-facing, and the slots that fall at or just above shoulder level for children seated in a "forward-facing only" child seat. If the child is riding forward-facing in a convertible seat, use the topmost harness slots, UNLESS the manufacturer specifically allows another set of slots to be used. It is imperative that parents read the instruction booklet that comes with their child's safety seat, to make sure they're complying with all manufacturer's recommendations.
- Are the harness straps snug? They should lay flat against the child's body, and not permit the child's shoulders to come away from the shell of the car seat. The harness retainer clip, which holds the two harness straps together, should be placed at armpit level, to keep the shoulder straps on the shoulders.
- Is the vehicle's safety belt pulled tightly enough to hold the child safety seat in place?" To test for child seat "tightness":
- Grasp the child seat on either side, at the point where the vehicle safety belt is threaded through the belt path.
- Tug the child seat firmly away from the car seat, then tug it from side to side.
If the child seat moves more than one inch away from the car seat or more than one inch from side to side, the safety belt is not tight enough.
To tighten a child safety seat in place, compress the child seat into the car seat, by placing your knee in the child seat and leaning into it with your body weight, while pulling hard on the loose end of the vehicle seat belt at the same time. (This technique works better if you use a partner!)

Undefeated British welterweight Mark Scanlon (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has replaced an injured Kenny Robertson (10-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and meets fellow UFC newcomer Pascal Krauss (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at next month's UFC 122 event.
That's the word from German MMA site groundandpound.de, though MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) could not immediately confirm the change.
UFC 122 takes place Nov. 13 at Konig Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, and airs via same-day delay on Spike TV.
Scanlon vs. Robertson is part of the night's unaired preliminary card.
Robertson reportedly was forced off the card with a broken toe. As MMAjunkie.com reported earlier today, Robertson initially announced his injury status via Facebook.
Scanlon, who trains with the likes of UFC veterans Terry Etim and Paul Taylor at Liverpool's Team Kaobon, owns seven stoppages (six in the first round) among his seven career wins. While fighting on the U.K. fight circuit, he's posted five submissions wins and two TKO victories, though he missed nearly two years (mid-2008 to early 2010) due to injuries. Most recently, he topped Michael Reid (2-1 at the time) with a 10-second head-kick KO.
The ground specialist puts his skills to the test against
Krauss, who signed a four-fight deal and secured a UFC 122 slot in August. Nicknamed "Panzer," Krauss trains with Grappling Arts in Freiburg, Germany, and is the welterweight champion of U.K.-based Cage Warriors Fighting Championships promotion. With an unblemished professional record, he has notched all but two of his nine victories via submission.

BBRY: Societe Generale Ups to Buy; BB10 Upside, Positive Usage Trends
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are up 71 cents, or 5.2%, at $14.27, after Societe Generale's Andy Perkins this morning raised his rating on the shares from Sell to Buy, and raised his price target to $17 from $13, writing that "checks" show the company may have sold more of its newer handsets, the Z10 and the Q10, in the fiscal Q2 that ended last month than the Street has been expecting.
With average selling prices of the Z10 and Q10 coming in at $500 and $550, respectively, versus $200 for older BlackBerrys, based on wholesale prices quoted on various Web sites, Perkins raised his estimates to $3.7 billion in sales and a profit of 6 cents a share from what he formerly modeled as $2.7 billion and a break-even quarter.
Estimates by the sell side are all over the place, given the difficulty of predicting new model sales trends, writes Perkins, but his checks suggest sales are going much stronger than thought:
sales estimates published over the last month ranging from $3.1bn to $4.1bn and operating results from a loss of $100m to a profit of $344m (guidance breakeven). We believe the reason for this is that we are in the midst of a major portfolio change. Forecasting in these circumstances is extremely difficult as most information is backward looking in that it relies on the existing user base and thus will show downward trends. It is therefore difficult to see exactly what impact the new portfolio models are having. However, our channel checks have come up with some surprisingly strong numbers for RIM's unit sales for Q1 FY14. We forecast Z10 unit sales of over 4m. Although the initial reaction to the Q10 has been positive, it has only been available in a few countries for a limited period. We would be surprised if total sales of the Q10 model exceeded 1m units. In total, we believe that Blackberry 10 handsets could record sales in excess of 5m units. We believe that this is above consensus which is between 3m and 4m units for the quarter. As for the older units, we still believe there is demand for the 9220, 9320 and 9900 handsets but that this is falling rapidly.
Perkins writes that it's not easy to find additional confirmation of his projections, but he offers some data that may be of use:
Kantar Worldpanel's (supplies data on smartphone sales by country based on consumer interviews) data for RIM has shown a downward trend over the past year for most countries. As there is no overall measure of sales, we have shown data from the US and UK but the trend elsewhere is similar. Perhaps the only positive point to note is that there was a small pick-up in the UK in April, when the Q10 became available alongside the Z10 [...] The site gs.statcounter.com (records page views by device, operating system etc. based on tracking code on three million sites) shows a similar decline. RIM's share of the total mobile internet market (as measure by page views) has shrunk from over 8% at the beginning of 2012 to under 4% in April 2013. There was an increase in May 2013 but again it is only a small increase [...] However, if we look at the UK again on the basis of page views the evidence is slightly better. There was a collapse in market share in internet usage in the UK for RIM throughout 2012. However, after a dramatic collapse in February 2013 (down almost 5% in one month), RIM's share has stabilised and has even risen slightly. The UK is an important market for RIM: it was the first market to receive both the Z10 (31 January 2013) and the Q10 (26 April 2013). So while we can find no direct support of our forecast of a large rise in sales of new portfolio products, we can certainly see that the rapid decreases in market share across a number of measures appear to have ceased. This is perhaps most pronounced in the UK where the new Blackberry Z10 and Q10 models were first released.
Perkins provides the following graphic of the leveling off of the decline in Web usage on BlackBerry devices:

LANSING – Pure Michigan has unveiled a newly designed michigan.org just in time for the launch of the fall advertising campaign. The new website will feature an interactive map, a trip planner tool and will be one of the first state tourism websites to utilize responsive design.
"Visitors to the new michigan.org will find a site that has the look and feel of ads they are seeing on television with the tools to research and plan a trip to Pure Michigan with ease," said George Zimmermann, Vice President of Travel Michigan, part of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. "We based many of the new features on user feedback and believe and this redesign will help to build on the successes we have already had with michigan.org."
The michigan.org website has been the most visited state tourism website in the country for five years running. The site had 8.6 million visits last year with consumers using the site an average of 23,689 times a day, according to the independent online measurement company Experience Hitwise.
The new site's use of responsive design eliminates the need to create different sites for different Internet devices. Users will have the same experience on michigan.org whether they are accessing michigan.org through their mobile phone, an iPad or tablet, laptop and desktop computers.
With the interactive map users will be able to search for things to do by city or by attraction in an easy way, tapping into more than 12,000 properties and hundreds of events found in the michigan.org database. Users will be able to add events and attractions into their trip planner as they navigate the site, to come back to later or even share with family and friends.
Other changes include a "Hot Spots" feature, current weather conditions and more visibility for the Pure Michigan blog, eNewsletter sign-up and social media pages.
CiesaDesign, located in Lansing, was tapped, through a competitive bidding process, to create the new design.
The new website currently features autumn images to coincide with the launch of Pure Michigan's fall television and radio ads. Featured ads during this year's fall campaign include Nature of Trees, Deep Breath and Fresh on television and Nature's Greatest Show and Off the Vine on radio. There are also 15 fall partner ads airing regionally and across the state.
Regional markets being targeted by the fall campaign include Chicago, Ill.; Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo, Ohio; Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and South Bend, Ind.; and Milwaukee and Green Bay, Wis. In-state markets include Detroit, Flint, Lansing, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.
The Pure Michigan billboards will also be up in these markets, as well as Southern Ontario.
The total fall advertising budget of $2,610,192 includes $393,000 in funding committed by private sector partners as part of the Travel Michigan Ad Partnership Program. The fall campaign runs through October 1.

Ilse Bing was a leader among those who made Paris the center of modern photography in the 1930s. Moving in a milieu that included the likes of Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray, and Brassaï, she came to be known as "Queen of the Leica" for her influential mastery of the hand-held camera that revolutionised the medium in the period. Fleeing the war, she emigrated to New York in 1941 and, although she retired from photography in 1959, her career was rediscovered in the late 1970s and was celebrated in a series of major retrospectives. She died in 1998, just a few days before her 99th birthday.
Born into a bourgeois Jewish family in Frankfurt, Ilse Bing seemed set for an academic career but abandoned it to devote herself to photography. In 1930 she moved to Paris and began an extraordinary decade that saw her working in photojournalism, portraiture, advertising. She also shot fashion accessories for Harper's Bazaar. She won commercial success even while establishing herself at the forefront of the city's avant-garde, and she forged a distinctive personal style by blending all the vital currents that were then shaping the medium. She adored the romanticism, symbolism and dream-imagery of Surrealism; she shared the technological enthusiasms and love of startling perspectives that intrigued advocates of 'New Vision' photography; and she accepted the creed of documentary photographers who were striving to produce truer and more incisive records of the world.
Her Self-Portrait with Leica (1931) remains an icon of modernist photography, and an emblem of a time when many women were embracing modernity and independence, along with the new opportunities that technology afforded for artistic expression.
Ilse Bing: Photography Through the Looking Glass, a major monograph by Larisa Dryansky, was published by Abrams in 2006. An important retrospective of her work exhibited at the New Orleans Museum of Art in 1985, and the International Center of Photography, New York, in 1986; a survey was also held at the Musée Carnavalet, Paris, in 1988.. Her work can be found in many major public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; and the Art Institute of Chicago.

ZACK CRAIG: It's about 280 miles from Morenci to West Liberty, W. Va., but that doesn't stop Nelly and David Craig from watching their son, Zack, play basketball with West Liberty State College.
With a fast internet connection, the Craigs can sit at home and watch games through live internet streaming.
And there's a lot of action to watch.
The Hilltoppers are known nationally for their high scoring games and they're back at it again this season.
They opened play with a 125-62 victory over Salem International and followed that with a 119-50 win against Ohio University Eastern.
Craig, a 6-foot-5 206-pound guard, was injured early in the season last year, but he's making an impression this year as a red-shirted freshman.
In the opening game, Craig scored 16 points in 12 minutes on the floor, shooting 57 percent overall and 48 percent from three-point range.
In the second contest, he tied for second leading scorer with 17 points, shooting 60 percent overall and in three's. He also collected eight rebounds in the game.
Craig was a four-year starter at Morenci and broke his father's scoring record to establish a new school mark with 1,606 points. He averaged 22 points a game and shot 50 percent from the perimeter.
The NCAA Div. II Hilltoppers led the nation in scoring last season with an average of 97.5 points a game. They broke the hundred mark in 13 contests.
West Liberty isn't known only for its three-point shots, said Matt Watson of the college athletic department.
"We don't just shoot the three," he said. "We make the tempo really fast and force turnovers with our full-court pressure. We also are among the nation's leaders in assists and steals each year."
FAYETTE BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEW:With six letter-winners returning, five of them seniors, Fayette's boys coach Todd Mitchell has some good experience on the floor this season.
He has some talent on the bench, as well, with a nine-man rotation and plenty of competition for starting positions.
"It makes practice a lot more competitive when they know they're all going to play," Mitchell said.
He aims to use his strong bench to his advantage to run an up-tempo game with plenty of fresh bodies to put on the floor.
"We should be able to be more aggressive with nine guys," he said.
He expects the squad to put the pressure on at times.
"Defensively we're really improved," Mitchell said. "We'll continually improve at the defensive end and the offense will come."
Mitchell is also seeing an improvement in ball handling skills from the past season.
Senior Austin Hylander (6-2) returns as the top scorer, backed up by classmate Coty Griffiths. Both are second-year letter-winners.
Senior Shelby Franks is also back for a third varsity season and Eliott Richardson (6-3) returns for a second year. Ben Kovar is the fifth senior.
Mitchell will look to newcomers Evan Stoltzfus and Jason Rodriguez, plus sophomores Tyler Keefer and Darrell Randall to fill key spots on the team. Rodriguez and Keefer put in enough time with the varsity last season to win letters.
Three other players will see time on both the junior varsity and varsity: junior Travis Kline and sophomores Nelson Barnhiser and Hunter Colegrove.
"We played well in scrimmages against Wauseon and Hicksville," Mitchell said.
An additional practice is scheduled at home Dec. 2 against Emmanuel Christian.
Coach Mitchell is looking forward to the BBC schedule because of the parity he expects to see.
"This should be one of the more balanced years in a long time," he said. "It's wide open."
North Central has a freshman to watch—a kid who could dunk the ball as an eighth grade student. Pettisville and Stryker lost personnel through graduation, but still have good talent. Hilltop should be improved.
It's going to be balanced and competitive, Mitchell said, and every league game should be a challenge for most everyone in the conference.
First on the Eagles' agenda is to avenge a loss to Morenci last season when the two teams resumed an old cross-border rivalry.
The Bulldogs traveled to Fayette to post a win last year; Coach Mitchell intends to turn the table this time around.
The league season opens at Stryker Dec. 11.
FAYETTE GIRLS BASKETBALL PREVIEW: Fayette girls basketball coach Ashley Oyer knows the challenge for her squad this year: Put more points on the scoreboard.
She was generally pleased with the Eagles' defensive intensity last season—Oyer's first with the squad—but offense was another story.
"We were getting the shots off," she said. "They just were getting them through the basket."
She'll add one more complaint on the offensive side—far too many turnovers last season—but the criticism ends there.
She has seven letter-winners back, four of them seniors, and she believes she's seeing an improved squad.
"I've been pleased with the way we've held our own," Oyer said following a scrimmage last week at Swanton. "I think we'll be a lot more fun to watch this season."
She's not forgetting something she liked the most about the Eagles last season: They never gave up.
"These are tough-nosed kids who are never going to back down," she said. "They take pride and they play hard all night."
Last season's leading scorer was guard Rachel Seiler who started as a freshman. Junior forward Katelyn Downing was close behind, followed by senior guard Danni Wyse, a three-year letter-winner.
Other seniors returning to the squad are two-year letter-winners Trish Bates, a forward, Mara Raker, guard, and Brittany Seiler forward. Junior guard JeriAnn Lewellen is also back for a second season.
Three juniors have moved up from last year's junior varsity team: 6-foot forward Heather Cuff and two guards, Elisha Hartman and Jacy Lewellen.
Two sophomores will alternate between varsity and junior varsity: guard Andrea Canfield and forward Amber Scott.
Oyer looks for her squad to run a faster-paced, more aggressive game. The team has also worked to improve its perimeter game.
Coach Oyer figures that Pettisville is the team to beat this season in the BBC, but Stryker still has good talent returning. She's hoping to see the Eagles in the race, as well.
Fayette opens the season Friday with a non-league contest at Liberty Center. The league season gets underway at home against Edon Dec. 5.
Update: Katelyn Downing suffered an ACL injury and will miss the season.

Little Monster has pointy ears and teeth, wings and a spiky tail. He's a not-to-scary, overall-wearing, dragon kind of monster that spends his days doing the ordinary things all children do: going to school, spending time with his family and trying to stay out of trouble. The Little Monster series books were first published in the late 1970s, and the bestselling books continue to be popular with young kids today. However, many of the books are now long out-of-print.
FastPencil is helping to bring back the Little Monster books for a new generation to read. The company has released a fantastic Mercer Mayer Classic Collectible four-book series. The books feature Mayer's "Little Monster" character. My family recently had the chance to read one of the books in the series: Mercer Mayer's Little Monster Home School and Work Book.
Young kids can easily identify with Little Monster -- after all, even though he's dragon-like, he acts like a normal kid, not a monster! The illustrations in the book are very similar to those in the Little Critter series, packed full of imaginative, action-filled scenes and interesting characters.
My kids especially appreciate how Mayer includes little humorous scenarios within the illustrations including aliens at the airport and a spider inching down from a bathroom sink right in front of a monster cat. In fact, the illustrations are so fun to look at, you'll want to spend a little extra time pouring over the pages while reading to make sure you don't miss anything in the book. Both my kids found the book engaging and enjoyable. It's a good read aloud for preschoolers and also is challenging and interesting enough for early readers. I'd recommend it for ages preschool-2nd grade.
Little Monster gives a tour of his house in Little Monster at Home. He starts with the cellar, a rather unusual choice. (Who starts a home tour with the cellar? - I guess monsters do!) Mayer provides readers with a fun glimpse into the life of the Little Monster family. They take baths and do the laundry just like the rest of us. Little Monster's pet Kerploppus sleeps on the couch, "even though he is not supposed to." The book also details what the family does around the house during the various seasons. I adore the winter illustrations. Little Monster mentions Christmas and likes his house best in wintertime because "it's so very snuggly and warm."
In Little Monster at School, a student named Yally doesn't seem to like school much at all. He gets frustrated easily and wants to be the best at everything. Little Monster shows how to be a good friend and helps brings out the best in Yally by boosting Yally's self-confidence with some well-deserved praise. [In related news, earlier this year Wanderful, Inc. released a Little Monster at School iPad storybook app.]
My son's favorite section of the book is the Little Monster at Work part. The busy illustrations and focus on vocabulary building in this Little Monster story remind me of Richard Scarry's What Do People Do All Day. Little Monster follows his grandfather to various places and learns about different occupations. Together they visit a road construction site, car shop, T.V. station, circus, newspaper business, medical center, campsite, marina, the moon, a diner, home construction site, airport, farmer's market, the Olympics, craft fair, town square, and also learn about jobs in science. There's not much explanation in the text as to what the various jobs entail, but the illustrations offer unlimited discussion possibilities.

Tool Flashcards and Tool Box Educational Activity
The book ends with a question from Little Monster, "Did you see anything in my book that you would like to be?" I asked my son what he wanted to be when he grows up and he replied, "a fixer." That's not entirely surprising considering both of his grandfathers are retired mechanics. We talked about the different tools mechanics use, and I asked him to identify a few common tools. He knew a few but it became quickly apparent that his basic tool vocabulary is lacking.
We were on a vocabulary kick after reading the word heavy "At Work" section of Mayer's book, so I decided to further the educational lessons and make some tool flashcards and a paper tool box envelope to hold the flashcards for my son. Now he knows correct tool terminology and can call the tools by their proper names (both grandpas will be so proud). We've played with the cards in a variety of ways including putting the tools in alphabetical order. I'm considering printing out a second set so we can play Go Fish--tool style.

Updated A BBC survey into Brits' views on evolution has found that while 48 per cent of people opted for evolution as that which "best described their view of the origin and development of life", 22 per cent opted for creationism and 17 per cent for for intelligent design. The remainder of the pollees "did not know".
Asked which of the three theories should be included in school science lessons, 44 per cent said creationism should be on the agenda, 41 per cent voted for intelligent design, while 69 per cent backed evolution.
According to the Beeb - which conducted its probe of 2000 participants for a programme entitled: Horizon: A War on Science - this is evidence that "more than half the British population does not accept the theory of evolution".
Horizon editor Andrew Cohen said: "I think that this poll represents our first introduction to the British public's views on this issue. Most people would have expected the public to go for evolution theory, but it seems there are lots of people who appear to believe in an alternative theory for life's origins."
Hmmm. In fact, we could claim that almost 70 per cent of Brits back the teaching of evolution, although we concede that, according to the figures, they must also have backed the inclusion of at least one of the other two options. Typical woolly-headed liberal thinking there.
Regarding what people actually believe, as opposed to what they think their kids should be subjected to, the 22 per cent who got behind creationism is hardly a shocker, being as it is a de facto tenet of much of Christianity.
In fact, just 17 per cent of Brits believe in intelligent design - just ahead of the 13 per cent who really don't know or don't care.
The one interesting fact to come from the survey is that "participants over 55 were more likely to choose evolution over other groups, while those under 25 were most likely to opt for intelligent design."*
Horizon: A War on Science is on BBC Two tonight at 2100 GMT. ®
* Thanks to those readers who have written to say the BBC's original version of this story now reads: "Participants over 55 were less likely to choose evolution over other groups."
Well, when we published our piece at 12.30 today, the piece certainly said: "Participants over 55 were more likely to choose evolution over other groups, while those under 25 were most likely to opt for intelligent design."
We now have no idea what people under 25 think, so you can make of the correction what you will. There's not a lot of intelligent design in there, we reckon.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 6 (UPI) -- Daniel Nestor and Vasek Pospisil battled through a marathon final set Saturday to give Canada a 2-1 lead over Italy in the Davis Cup quarterfinals.
Nestor and Pospisil let a two-set lead get away and then emerged with the critical victory that moved the Canadians to within one match victory of a spot in the semifinals.
The doubles team from Canada defeated Daniele Bracciali and Fabio Fognini 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 3-6, 15-13 in a match that went on for 4 hours, 27 minutes.
The Canada-Italy doubles confrontation was almost an exact copy of a match played earlier in the day in the United States-Serbia series.
Serbia's Ilija Bozoljac and Nenad Zimonjic blew a two-set advantage against the brother duo of Bob and Mike Bryan before winning the fifth set 15-13.
The Canada-Italy winner will meet the United States-Serbia survivor in the semifinals.
Canada's Milos Ranoic will try to clinch the semifinal spot in Sunday's opening singles match against Andreas Seppi. A win by Seppi in that match would leave it all on the line in the fifth and final match of the series between Pospisil and Fognini.

Shoegaze / Garage duo from Tel Aviv released debut video
released on April 6,2016
Saint God was formed in 2015 by long-time friends Shura Lubarsky (Drums, Vocals) and Tim A (Guitars, Production).
We're inspired by artistic and personal freedom of expression and good will in people. As well as by where we come from, now and then.
Originally we're from Tallinn, Estonia and Murmansk, Russia, and I believe our sound reflects that balance of north and south, cold and warm.
Musically we're influenced by anything from Kyuss, Slowdive and Darkthrone to Jungle, Reggae, Hip Hop and Free Tekno rave parties.
in September 2015 we released our debut EP "Realise". In February the full length "Montefiore" was released.
The song "Narasvette" came together quite spontaneously, and was inspired by our new acquaintance with Giulia Piana who is also featured in the video. An amazing dancer and world traveler from Sicily, Italy who was visiting Tel Aviv for a couple of days.

(Bulk: 1960-1971)
Bass, George Fletcher, 1932-
Extent: 27 linear foot (the collection consists of twenty-seven archival boxes of data of which seventeen boxes contain correspondence. there are six boxes of expedition records and four boxes of photographs)
George Fletcher Bass, a pioneer in the field of Underwater Archaeology, was born in South Carolina in 1932. Planning to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather who were Professors of English, he enrolled at Johns Hopkins University. A trip to Rome and the sight of the Roman antiquities altered Bass'life. After returning to Johns Hopkins, Bass spent two years at the School of Classical Studies in Athens followed by enrollment at Penn for his Ph.D. studies in classical archaeology. Bass was chosen in 1960 by Rodney Young, Professor and Chairman of Classical Archaeology at Penn and the Curator of the Mediterranean Section of the Penn Museum to direct the underwater excavation of a Bronze-Age shipwreck in Cape Gelidonya, Turkey. This event marked the beginnings of underwater archaeology as a discipline and as Bass'life's work. Bass conducted additional expeditions in Turkey at Yassi Ada, sponsored by the University Museum and the American Institute of Nautical Archaeology as well as the Thera Excavations sponsored by the Greek Department of Antiquities. Additional excavations were conducted in Italy at a Neolithic and Bronze Age site near Gravina di Puglia. Bass participated in or supervised additional work at Bodrum and Antolya, Turkey. In 1972, George Bass established the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and decided to make this organization the next step in his career. He became not only the founder but the director of the Institute which is now housed at Texas A&M University. The George F. Bass Underwater Archaeology papers are composed of twenty-seven boxes of correspondence, expedition records, photographs and drawings mainly from his work at Cape Gelidonya and Yassi Ada.

Albany, New York – Where can you enjoy challenging whitewater river rafting, wilderness kayaking, deep-sea fishing adventures and some of the world's best fly-fishing waters all in one state? If you said New York State, you'd be right.
Visitors may be surprised to learn that New York has more state-designated wilderness land than any state except Alaska. Adirondack Park alone is roughly the size of the state of Vermont, bigger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks combined. New York's water-related stats are equally astounding:
- 70,000 miles of rivers and streams
- Nearly 7,000 lakes and ponds
- Over 400 miles of Great Lakes coastline
- 400 miles of Erie Canal waterways
- Almost 2000 islands dotting the St. Lawrence Seaway
- 120 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline
Below is just a sampling of the awesome experiences that beckon visitors on the lakes, rivers and coastal waters of New York State:
Boating on water so clean that you can drink it. For the second year in a row, boaters can experience the most unspoiled boating waters in the Catskills. For the most pristine boating experience in the world, head for one of the region's five crystal clear reservoirs - the Ashokan, Cannonsville, Neversink, Pepacton and Schoharie. The reservoirs now allow kayaking, canoeing, sculling and sailing in small sunfish. Visit www.visitthecatskills.com/
Check this out:Go eagle-spotting! Rafting, kayaking or canoeing down the Delaware, a designated National Scenic and Recreational River, alert observers can spot a variety of wildlife, including otters, beavers, ospreys, red-tailed hawks and a rebounding population of bald eagles. Visit www.nps.gov/upde/
Paddle along an ancient highway. The Hudson River was a highway for Native Americans as well as early European explorers and settlers. Today, day cruises are a relaxing way to take in the quaint villages, palatial 19th century homes and majestic scenery of the Hudson Valley region. For those who prefer to navigate on their own, the Hudson River Greenway Water Trail has organized a 256-mile stretch of river. The Trail runs from the bucolic Champlain Canal and turbulent white waters of the upper Hudson River to Manhattan's Battery Park and the Hudson River Estuary. Open to kayaks, canoes and all types of water craft, the trail has entry points roughly every ten miles with access to wildlife marshes, campsites and inns, historic river towns and hiking trails. Visit www.hudsongreenway.ny.gov/, www.travelhudsonvalley.org/ or call 1- 800-232-4782.
Check this out: The Hudson Valley Outdoor Expo, June 1-3 in Poughkeepsie, will celebrate the region's wild side with kayak, running, urban mountain biking, swimming and bouldering competitions and interactive exhibits by adventure specialists. Media can visit http://www.wildcatepicevents.com/outdoor-adventure-expo-hv/ or call Nancy at 1-845-463- 5446.
Catch the wind. Both expert sailors and newbies can hone their skills and earn American Sailing Association certification at Sail Long Island in Greenport. Perfectly situated to catch the great winds at the eastern end of Long Island, the sailing school is in the heart of some of the world's best sailing destinations. Experience sailing on a two-hour cruises or charter, sign up for group or private lessons, or join one of the multi-day learning trips that visit historic whaling ports such as Mystic as well as sailing meccas like Block Island, Cuttyhunk and Newport, home to the America's Cup races. Visit www.discoverlongisland.com/ or www.saillongisland.com/or call 1- 917-912-6342.
Check this out: Set sail on a National Historic Landmark, the restored 60-foot Priscilla. The 19th century sloop departs from the 14-acre Long Island Maritime Museum in West Sayville, where historic buildings, ships, artifacts and exhibits paint a picture of the island's past. Visit limaritime.org/ or call 1-631-HISTORY.
Raft through "The Grand Canyon of the East." At Letchworth State Park, 500-foot tall sheer vertical rock walls frame the Genesee River as it carves its way through the dramatic gorge. The state park, located in the Finger Lakes and Greater Niagara regions, is a great place to raft this spectacular river and enjoy thrilling scenery spiced with occasional spurts of novice-friendly class I and II rapids. Additional whitewater rafting options beckon in the Adirondacks and Capital-Saratoga regions, where the Sacandaga River offers exciting Class III rapids thanks to scheduled water releases that extend the rafting season through the summer. The Adirondacks also offer relaxing summer floats through Ausable Chasm as well as challenging class IV and V rapids such as the seven-mile run at Black River Gorge and the Hudson River Gorge, ranked among the top ten runs in the U.S.
Check this out: For the ultimate (Class V-plus) challenge, whitewater rafters head for the whirlpool rapids of the Niagara River in the Greater Niagara region. Visit www.greaterniagara.com/ or call 1-800-622-2686.
Island hopping by boat. A top yachting destination, the 1,864 islands of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River in the Thousand Islands-Seaway region invite sailors and power boaters to set their own pace to stop at whim at lovely secluded beaches along the warm water inlet of Lake of the Isles and Sandy Island Beach. Those who don't bring their own launches can rent pontoons, kayaks, fishing boats and runabouts and then navigate to charming waterside restaurants, campgrounds, and even golf courses and resorts, many accessible only by boat. Along the way, it's easy to reel in dinner, from lake trout, king salmon and walleye in eastern Lake Ontario to muskie, northern pike, bass and Lancaster perch on the St. Lawrence River. Visit www.visit1000islands.com or call 1-800-847-5263.
Check this out: Either independently or with an organized boat tour, visitors can stop to tour the Boldt and Singer castles, both built with fantastical underground tunnels and towers by turn-of-the-century power barons. Visit www.visit1000islands.com.
"Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal." Don't be misled by the popular song lyrics; boaters can actually travel more than 400 miles along the New York Canal System, passing through 57 locks and 20 lift bridges. This picturesque inland waterway, today dominated by pleasure boaters, connects the 338-mile Erie Canal to the Champlain, Oswego and Cayuga-Seneca Canals, linking the Hudson River with five major lakes and connecting Buffalo to Albany and beyond. Independent travelers can rent water craft from kayaks and canoes to self-skippered English narrowboats and houseboats. Along the way there are plenty of opportunities to fish, bask on inviting beaches and explore wildlife and nature preserves and historic sites. Canal-side colonial villages, eateries and designated moorings also cater to the boating crowd. Crewed charters are also available, and several sightseeing and overnight cruise ships ply these waters. Visit www.canals.ny.gov/
Check this out: Guided nature and history walks, special exhibits, rowing regattas, musical performances and more will be on tap in many canal-side towns during the 8th annual Canal Splash! on August 9-11. www.canals.ny.gov/or call 1-518-436-3034.
Glide through the wild country. The sound of birds and rustling leaves is broken only by the gentle splash of paddles as canoes and kayaks glide through New York State's wilderness areas. One of the most popular routes is the classic "Adirondack Seven Carries" in the St. Regis Wilderness Canoe Area of the Adirondacks. Here, a nine-mile loop traversing 10 lakes and ponds is connected by short portage trails. The route can be done in a day, but most people camp for a night or two along the way. For the more fit and adventurous, an extended "Nine Carries" route goes even further into the wilderness. Local outfitters can provide "glamping" services, setting up camp, cooking and handling the porterage. Other scenic paddling and boating routes crisscross the state including the Saranac Chain of Lakes and the Fulton Chain of Lakes, near Old Forge. Visit visitadirondacks.com/.
Check this out: Competitive kayakers can compete in the General Clinton Canoe Regatta, May 24-27, part of the North American Triple Crown of Canoeing; and the 56th Hudson River Whitewater Derby, May 3-4.
Cruise into history: In the Chautauqua-Allegheny region, step back in time on the Chautauqua Belle which offers sightseeing and dinner cruises on Lake Chautauqua, or the Minnie-Ha-Ha, which offers narrated cruises on Lake George. These are among the few remaining authentic steam-powered paddle wheelers still operating. It's also fascinating to experience what it's like to be raised and lowered 20 feet through a canal lock as you depart from Herkimer in Central New York, cruise the Erie Canal on the Lil' Diamond II, or sail out of Lockport in Greater Niagara to experience the Erie Canal's only double set of locks, which enable a 49-foot elevation change that connects the Hudson and Niagara rivers. Mid-Lakes Navigation in the Finger Lakes also offers Erie Canal cruises as well as champagne dinner sails that cruise past the stately homes of Skaneateles Lake, and a mail cruise which delivers mail, as it has for 76 years, to homes along the lake.
Check this out: Take a Dutch Apple Cruise on the scenic and historic Hudson River, the ideal way to see the sights. Adults and kids alike can enjoy site narrated scenic trips down the Hudson and special events on the water. Visit capital-saratoga.com.

Imhotep Panthers football team's state-championship dream ends in defeat [Video and photos]
On Saturday afternoon, the Imhotep Institute Charter High School Panthers football team lost the PIAA AA state semifinal game to the Wyomissing Spartans 35-13 inside a packed Benjamin Johnston Memorial Stadium.
With the loss, the Panthers, who won their first playoff game in school history this season, end with a 14-1 record.
The visiting Spartans, who were also undefeated coming into the game, will face Aliquippa for the state championship next weekend.
"It hurts," Imhotep head coach Albie Crosby told his players, some of whom had tears in their eyes, after the game. "I've coached worse games than today. We've played worse games than today. I'm so proud of you all. We've represented our city. We've represented our school.
"They played really well. They just beat us. Sometimes, that's what happens."
NewsWorks will post a full story on the game on Monday.

"iLook.TV crowdsources TV channels, TV programs and TV commercials."
Robin Goods insight:
iLook.TV lets you curate custom TV channels distributable via smartphone compatible apps that act as pay-TV like subscription channels.
The channels are commercial and can include or accept advertising requests thus providing a monetization opportunity for channel curators.
iLook.TV is made up of two components:
1) iLook.TV website where you create your channels
2) iLook.TV ChannelApp for ditributing your custom channel
In a Channel you can add / syndicate video clips and submit TV commercials to the iLook.TV system.
The ChannelApp is instead a mobile app that can be fully utilized by Channel subscribers as Program Guide for your channel as well as a TV remote to watch specific video content on their connected large TV screens. The ChannelApp can be branded, configured and submitted to the Apple App Store.
ILOOKTV supports three methods of monetization: subscription, pay-per-view, and TV commercials.
Revenues are collected by iLook.TV from subscriptions, PPV and commercials and are automatically shared with Channel owners.
The cost to own a Channel is $100 per year.
N.B.: Channel owners also need to pay the standard $100 Apple Developer fee when they submit the ChannelApp to the Apple App Store.
Promising concept. Rough implementation.

Competition in the borough will heat up this weekend as more than 70 teams are prepared to compete for the title of the area's best chili at the 10th annual West Chester Rotary Chili Cook-Off.
"It's a huge milestone in the sense of acceptance in the community and the borough and allowing us to use their streets," said Dan Cosgrove, chairman of the Chili Cook-Off Committee and member of the Rotary Club. "But it's also a milestone that we have made it in the sense that we have been able to generate enough funds to donate enough money back to the community."
The event is hosted by the Rotary Club, and proceeds from the event will go directly into programs supported by the Rotary Club and local charities.
This year, Cosgrove said the Rotary Club will announce last year's grant winners about 11 a.m. Sunday, and Cosgrove said 13 or 14 local organizations will benefit from the proceeds which add up to more than $30,000.
Gates open at 10:30 a.m., though chili will be served from noon to 3 p.m. with awards to be announced about 3:30 p.m.
This year the event has expanded east on Gay Street to include Walnut Street and will include High Street as well.
"It will allow the event to breathe a bit," Cosgrove said.
Wristbands for the cook-off are $10 for adults and free for children younger than 10 who are accompanied by an adult. Discounted wristbands can be purchased at select locations around West Chester at a rate of three wristbands for $25.
Wristbands provide access to all the chilies being offered at the event which are served in portions of three to four spoonfuls. Competitors are divided into five different categories: business, restaurant, nonprofit, volunteer organization or hometown cook reserved for local families and neighbors.
Cosgrove said the competition is friendly, but gets very competitive since they see a lot of repeat teams.
To allow the public to participate in the judging process, guests will be given three wooden nickels that each count as a vote toward their favorite chili. During the competition, guests can drop the nickels in the jars of their choosing. At the end of competition, the team with the most wooden nickels will be given the People's Choice Award.
"It's just a lot of fun and it's extremely competitive," Cosgrove said.
While the chili is not served until noon, Cosgrove advises guests to arrive early to experience some of the more than 40 other food vendors and crafters at the event as the festivities start to begin. Cosgrove said it is also a good time to shop.
"If you are not a chili lover it doesn't mean you stay away," Cosgrove said. "We want it to be a great experience for the people that support us."
A children's area will be available in the Wells Fargo parking lot with face painting, inflatables, magic acts and a DJ. The Philadelphia Eagles football game will also be broadcast on televisions at the event.
The cook-off is a rain or shine event, though Sunday's temperature is expected to be a high of 70 with clear skies.
No alcohol or pets will be allowed into the event.

USA Wrestling proudly announces the extension of the Living The Dream Medal Fund.
The Fund was created for the purpose of allowing the entire wrestling community to participate in celebrating and honoring the hard work of our champions. While we understand that no wrestling champion wrestles "for the money", this Fund will send a strong message to our elite athletes that their glory is our collective glory and their hard work and dedication is appreciated. U.S. World and Olympic team members are our ambassadors to the global wrestling community. The long journey from pee wee wrestler to an Olympic medalist requires a level of determination, of sweat, of pain, of time on the road, and in the gym, and on the mats…of dieting, deprivation, almost madness. The few that survive that journey and win deserve our support.
The Fund awards stipends for gold medal, silver medal, and bronze medal finishes at the World Championships and Olympic Games.
For the World Championships, the Fund offers $50,000 for a gold medal,$25,000 for a silver, and $15,000 for a bronze.
For the Olympic Games, the Fund offers $250,000 for a gold medal, $50,000 for a silver, and $25,000 for a bronze.
It is important to note that contributions to this Fund will only go directly to pay the awards referred to above to each athlete that achieves their spot on a World or Olympic podium. The Fund will incorporate and utilize the existing stipends from USA wrestling and stipends as made available by the USOC.
The Fund will be maintained as a restricted and segregated fund by USA Wrestling. It will be overseen by a board that includes representatives of USA wrestling as well as a group of stewards who have helped establish the Fund and will assist in financially underwriting it.
We are now looking for donations from $1 to $1000 from our brothers and sisters in the wrestling community. It is this extended family of wrestlers, of cauliflowered crusaders, where we will find support and strength to back our athletes.
We appreciate your help. We need it. Our champions need it.
To donate Click Here.

Finding a CPA in Miami
A new Web site called Teaspiller launched on Tuesday with the aim of helping taxpayers find a Miami Accountant or Miami CPA, especially during tax season. (Also works in other US cities)
Taking a page from the burgeoning Tea Party movement, Teaspiller also found inspiration from the Boston Tea Party. According to the company's Web site, CEO Amit Vemuri, an Internet entrepreneur and former vice president at travel site Travelocity, was in a library reading up on tax and accounting history and came across an editorial reference to the Boston Tea Party protestors as "teaspillers." He decided to use the name for the Web site he wanted to launch.
The company, which was founded in 2009, claims to already have a network of 20,000+ accountants across the country in place for the site launch. However, it's going to be challenging some established sites like AccountantsWorld.com and CPAFinder.com, as well as services run by accounting organizations like the AICPA.
The New York-based startup claims to have several technology advantages, including complex algorithms to match various kinds of accounting and tax preparation needs with accountants who possess the appropriate skill sets and industry expertise.
Along with the search and matching technology, Teaspiller offers an individualized accountant review system. Maintained by the community, the reviews system aims to match accountants and customers based on factors such as tax preparation needs, specific industry characteristics, and their associated tax issues, location, size, and more.
According to the announcement of the site's launch, Vemuri wants to make his accountant-matching service into what Travelocity is for travel and Netflix is for movie rentals. Of course, if he follows in Netflix's footsteps, he'll have to figure out how to ship accountants in little postage-paid red envelopes or stream them over the Internet.

Guitar music is in an interesting position at the moment. Rather than being at the supposed dead end it was in a few years back, the continuing ascension of EDM has begun to open up spaces in which seasoned artists like St Vincent and Mac DeMarco are pulling serious moves, combining intricate and evocative guitar lines with astute storytelling as an antidote to the less story-driven machinations of dance.
Though operating in a vein less closely tied to character and narrative, Still Corners guitarist Leon J Dufficy aka Winter Drones - part of folk duo Hush Arbors - has also returned to business, joining the heavyweights with Heavy Eyes, an album that's often as evocative as anything released this year.
From the very first track, you can tell the kind of album Heavy Eyes is going to be: 'Eyes of Sunshine' might not be the slowest or the most abstract song on the LP, but it's a statement of intent – a sluggish lullaby that pans back and forth between distorted vocal lines and layers of fuzzy, beautiful guitar before fading into the twitching daylight electronics of Interlude 1. It's the perfect introduction because Dufficy immediately brings his most exciting talent to bear - his uncanny knack for playing with atmospherics.
In fact, so far as lo-fi guitar music goes, Heavy Eyes is fairly predictable collection, but it's this talent for building an atmosphere or underlying mood from scratch - which Dufficy's work for Still Corners never truly revealed - that makes the album a real pleasure to listen to. Perhaps because, as a long-time sufferer of insomnia, Dufficy ploughed much of his sleeplessness into the album, it's not as lucid an affair as many of the releases of his contemporaries, but Heavy Eyes is at its strongest when wrapped up in itself. Like Apparat's Krieg un Frieden did last year, it tends to work in atmospherics, feelings and energy, rather than lyrics and melodies.
Lead single 'Towns Alight' is about the most assertive thing here, a cascade of quick-moving guitar work, whilst 'Kidneys', at the other end of the spectrum, swoons like the aural equivalent of a sunrise. The highlight of the album, though, is 'Bong Dreams Prt2' (whose first part is a beautifully sparse piece of sound off of Dufficy's debut) for which stoner rock seemed the logical destination, but actually unfolds like slow rainfall across its seven minutes.
Besides 'Ignore the Night', whose more traditional song-writing feels like a markedly weak link, Heavy Eyes is an LP much less about the songs themselves and more about what they conjure. Though at times it subscribes all too predictably to a certain hazy shoegaze-indebted sound, what lies underneath that is a stirring collection of tracks. He might be travelling upstream in forgoing the storytelling, but Dufficy weaves deep and often complex moods into the foundation of his songs. It's an ideal more often associated with electronic artists, but one that Heavy Eyes re-purposes with great skill.
