What is an ePortfolio?
An ePortfolio (electronic portfolio) is an electronic collection of evidence that shows your learning journey over time. Portfolios can relate to specific academic fields or your lifelong learning. Evidence may include writing samples, photos, videos, research projects, observations by mentors and peers, and/or reflective thinking. The key aspect of an eportfolio is your reflection on the evidence, such as why it was chosen and what you learned from the process of developing your eportfolio. (Adapted from Philippa Butler's "Review of the Literature on Portfolios and Eportfolios" (2006), page 2.)
An ePortfolio is not a specific software package, but more a combination of process (a series of activities) and product (the end result of the ePortfolio process). Presentation portfolios can be created using a variety of tools, both computer desktop tools and online (Barrett, 2000; Barrett, 2004-2008). Most commercial ePortfolio tools are focused on the product (right-hand) side of the diagram above, although some open source tools contain some of the Web 2.0-type tools that enhance the process (left-hand) side of the diagram, such as blogs, social networking, and RSS feeds.
The real value of an e-portfolio is in the reflection and learning that is documented therein, not just the collection of work. In fact, here are two of my favorite quotes from a book and a resource created by JISC in the UK:
What is a blog? What is a wiki? How are these tools used in ePortfolios?
A web log, or blog, is an online journal that encourages communication of ideas, and individual entries are usually displayed in reverse-chronological order.Blogs were one of the first Web.2.0 tools, built on an architecture of interaction, allowing subscribing through RSS feeds, and feedback in the form of comments on specific entries. Blogs provide an ideal tool to construct learning journals, as discussed by Crichton and Kopp (2008) from the University of Calgary, and illustrated on the left side of the diagram above. Their research suggests:
According to Wikipedia, "A wiki is a collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone with access to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. The collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis." (The first developer of wiki software named it after the WikiWiki Shuttle in the Honolulu airport, because wiki meant quick in Hawaiian.) A wiki tool can be used to construct hyperlinked web pages, organized thematically, as illustrated on the right side of the diagram above.
Before I discuss the diagram above, I want to share an excerpt from my blog, written while at the National Educational Computing Conference in June 2008:
I just had a wonderful conversation with a high school English teacher, who used my website for resources on working with her 11th grade students on electronic portfolios (she showed me some examples). She started her students with a blog, but many of them went far beyond the blog and created their own presentation portfolios using one of the Web 2.0 tools. She herself had to use one of the commercial e-portfolio/assessment management systems in her graduate program, and she said, "It took all the thinking out of it. They gave me the standards and told me which artifacts to put into each one! It wasn't as effective as what my students did!"
Reflection in the Teaching and Learning Cycle
John Dewey (1933) discusses both retrospective (for analysis of data) and prospective modes of reflection (for planning). Beck and Bear (2009) studied reflection in the teaching cycle, comparing how pre-service teachers rated the development of their reflection skills in both formative and summative e-folios.The results of this research showed that:
Reflection is the "heart and soul" of a portfolio, and is essential to brain-based learning (Kolb, 1984; Zull, 2002). We need to develop strategies that better support reflection in the learning process, supporting different types of reflection to improve learning.
Reflection takes place at several points in time: when the piece of work (an artifact) is saved in the digital archive (a contemporaneous reflection while the work is fresh on our minds... or reflection in the present tense)... thus the role of a blogging tool; and when (and if) this piece is included in the more formal presentation/showcase or summative assessment portfolio. The reflection written at this later point of time is more summative or cumulative, providing a much broader perspective on a body of work that represents the author's goals for the showcase portfolio.. reflection in the past tense. Technologically, selection would involve creating a hyperlink to specific blog entries (reflection) which may have documents (artifacts) as attachments. Finally, once we have looked back over our body of work, then we have an opportunity to look forward, setting a direction for future learning through goals... reflection in the future tense.
Most ePortfolio systems tend to emphasize the showcase (portfolio as product) rather than the workspace (portfolio as process). There are also two different types of organization: Blogs are organized in reverse chronological order; most showcase portfolios are organized thematically, around a set of learning goals, outcomes or standards. Both levels of reflection and organization are important, and require different strategies for supporting different levels of reflection.
Most of the research on the implementation of electronic portfolios has been in higher eduction. Most of the customized e-portfolio tools, both commercial and open source, have been created in and for higher education, whereas the paper-based portfolio process itself began in K-12 schools. Over the last eight years, there has been a decline in the use of paper portfolios in schools, perhaps due to the dominance of high stakes standardized testing, even though the integration of technology has boomed. Perhaps more K-12 schools will again consider the use of ePortfolios, but adapted for the different culture of elementary and secondary schooling, and focusing on formative, classroom-based assessment for learning, which prior research has shown to be the best way to improve student achievement (Black & Wiliam, 1998).
The work below was developed for use in a K-12 school district for implementing electronic portfolios for students across the grade levels (ESUSD, 2009). Any district-wide implementation of electronic portfolios should be addressed as a developmental process, addressing both the diverse and growing technology competency of the students and teachers, as well as the varied experience with the portfolio learning and assessment process. Teachers and schools may start at a minimum level (Level 1--Portfolio as Storage) and build toward higher levels of implementation as they gain skills and comfort with the portfolio process. These levels are described below.
The most basic level of creating an electronic portfolio is the collection of work in a digital archive, stored on a server, whether locally or on the Internet. At this basic level, the teacher or the student stores the artifacts in folders on a server.
The basic organization of the digital archive is based on files in folders on a server. At this level, teachers choose one curriculum area to store student work samples (for example, writing samples in Language Arts).
The basic activity at this level is converting student work into digital formats and saving these documents in the designated storage space (not on individual laptops). The role of the teacher at this level is to provide students with guidance on the types of artifacts to save.
At this level, a learner keeps a learning journal (organized chronologically, with a blog) and reflects on their learning as represented in the samples of their work (artifacts stored in the Digital Archive) or attached/linked to a blog entry. Teachers may set up a structure for student reflection (fill in the blanks in a "Mad Lib, or provide a set of questions to answer about each assignment). This reflective journal can be used to reflect on (and document) service learning activities.
At this level, the artifacts should represent more than a single curriculum area, and demonstrate the many ways that students are using technology across the curriculum.
The primary role of the teacher at this level is to provide formative feedback on the students' work so that they can recognize opportunities for improvement. For younger students, the teacher can help students student collect and select appropriate work samples to showcase learning over time.
The advantage of this approach is that it is familiar to students (many students are used to blogging in MySpace), and is a natural way to document learning and change over time.
This level of portfolio development requires the student to organize one or more presentation portfolios around a set of learning outcomes, goals or standards (depending on purpose and audience). The presentation portfolio can be developed with a variety of tools. but usually consists of a set of hyperlinked web pages. Some schools may choose to have the students use a web page authoring tool, such as Dreamweaver or iWeb, giving students different options for publishing their websites: locally on the school server, on a CD-Recordable disc, or on a publicly-accessible website (with parent permission). Other schools may choose to use server-based wiki software.
The student reflects on the achievement of specific outcomes, goals or standards, based on guidance provided by the school, hyperlinking to the supporting documents. This level of reflection is more retrospective (thinking back over the learning represented in the specific artifacts selected as evidence of learning. In many ways, this reflection is the students' "closing argument" or their rationale for why they believe these artifacts are clear evidence or their achievement of learning.
In addition to answering the "What?" and "So What?" questions, students should also address the "Now What?" question, or include future learning goals in their presentation portfolios. At the end of the year, a school may organize an opportunity for a formal presentation of the portfolio before a committee or a larger audience.
The teacher's role at this level is not only to provide feedback on the students' work, but also to validate the students' self-assessment of their work.

Scientists at Freie Universitat in Berlin working under the computer science professor Raul Rojas have developed software that allows them to steer a car with their eyes.
At the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin, Rojas and his team from the Artificial Intelligence Group at the university demonstrated how they can steer a vehicle equipped with special complex electronics just by using eye movements.
The eyeDriver software is a prototype application for steering the research vehicle "Spirit of Berlin" using eye movements. The software was designed by computer scientists at Freie Universitat Berlin in collaboration with the company, SMI (SensoMotoric Instruments). The eye movements of the driver are collected and converted into control signals for the steering wheel. The speed is controlled separately and is not included in eyeDriver.
The HED4 solution by SMI is used for detecting and tracking the eye movements. It is a converted bicycle helmet equipped with two cameras and an infrared LED, as well as a laptop computer with special software. One of the cameras is pointed to the front in the same direction as the person wearing the helmet (scene camera), while the other camera films one eye of the wearer (eye camera). The infrared light supports the eye camera and is pointed to the eye under observation. A transparent mirror that reflects only the infrared light is used to allow a reasonable viewing angle for the eye camera, without limiting the wearer's ability to see. After a brief calibration the software on the laptop of the HED4 is not only able to capture the position of the pupil in the eye camera, but can also calculate the position in the scene camera that the wearer is looking at. These coordinates in the image of the scene camera (viewing position) are transmitted via an ordinary LAN to the onboard computer in the Spirit of Berlin. The eyeDriver software in the onboard computer in the Spirit of Berlin receives the viewing positions at regular intervals over the LAN in the vehicle and uses it to control the steering wheel. The driver can choose between two modes: "free ride" and "routing."
In the "free ride" mode, the viewing positions are linked directly with the steering wheel motor. That means that the x-coordinates of the viewing position are used to calculate the desired position of the steering wheel. The further the driver looks to the left or right, the further the steering wheel is turned in that direction. The speed of the vehicle is set in advance and kept constant, as long as the position of the gaze is recognized. In case it is not possible to detect which direction the driver is looking in, for example, if the driver's eyes are closed, the vehicle brakes automatically.
In the "routing" mode, the Spirit of Berlin steers autonomously most of the time. Only where there is a fork in the road, or an intersection, the car stops and asks the driver to select the next route. This requires the wearer of the helmet to look to the left or right for three seconds. If the driver's gaze lingers long enough in one direction, the eyeDriver software confirms acoustically that the choice has been accepted. The decision is communicated to the planner in the vehicle. Then the artificial intelligence in the Spirit of Berlin can plan the route accordingly and continue to run independently.
Raul Rojas is a professor of artificial intelligence at the Institute of Computer Science at Freie Universitat Berlin. He and his team have been designing technologies related to autonomous vehicles since 2006. As part of this project, they developed the research vehicle Spirit of Berlin, making it to the semifinals in the DARPA Urban Challenge in California in 2007.
In the fall of 2009, in the innovative vehicle steering series, based on the test vehicle, the computer scientists Tinosch Ganjineh and Miao Wang developed iDriver, with which it is possible to steer the research car using an iPhone. This series is now complemented with the EyeDriver software. It was developed primarily by Miao Wang and David Latotzky in cooperation with the firm SMI. These two developments are simply sub-projects. The core of the research continues to be the autonomous driving.
Since November 2010, the team around Prof. Rojas has been working on the further development of autonomous or semi-autonomous cars in the AutoNOMOS project headed by Tinosch Ganjineh. The project is being funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in its ForMaT (Forschung f¼r den Markt im Team) program. The funding is for two years. The project will make a significant contribution to the development of accident-free, efficient, and environmentally friendly mobility. AutoNOMOS is a modular system for the operation of autonomous or semi-autonomous cars. Using AutoNomos, it will be possible to detect impending dangers on roads, highways, and crossings (lane change, traffic jams, rights of way) at an early stage and accidents can be prevented. Once the technology is ready, it will be introduced at first on private property and, finally, in public traffic.
The Spirit of Berlin is an autonomous vehicle that was designed and built by the Artificial Intelligence Group at Freie Universitat Berlin as of 2007. It is a car that can be driven without a driver. A conventional car (Dodge Grand Caravan, 2000) was equipped with sensors, computers, and actuators. The sensors collect information about the immediate environment. Using this information, the software on the computers selects what to do. The resulting action is then implemented with the help of mechanical actuators.
A video demonstration of the software and Spirit of Berlin test car in action is available here.

Video: "No Words" live by Erik Hassle
HD Video, photos and words by G.
May the 4th is Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you, get it?!) and for music lovers such as myself, May the 4th was the night of a rare intimate performance by Erik Hassle on the roof top of The Standard Hotel in New York's East Village. Erik Hassle comes from Sweden and if you aren't already a fan, you will be by the end of this article.
This was the backdrop on an extremely rare perfect weather night in New York City on May 4, 2015 as an intimate crowd of less than 100 people gathered to hear Erik Hassle perform an 8 song set that included his new single "No Words."
As you are about to see and hear, Erik Hassle's voice is so soulful and his dance moves are infectious. Rather than trying to describe how awesome Erik Hassle is, just click play and watch his great new song, "No Words." I would also like you to pay close attention at the 2:12 mark, when Erik spotted me in the crowd and sang straight into my camera. It's epic!!!
Thanks to Erik for such a great show. Make sure you are following According2g and Erik Hassle on Instagram and visit Erik's official site or his Soundcloud page to hear more of his great tunes.
Thanks again to Erik Hassle for a great evening! "No Words" is out now!!!

Cave Collective's sculptural (wearable) objects
I was so happy to review the latest installation/performance project by friends Alex and Cat at Cave Collective for The WILD Magazine. They are certainly artists/designers to watch in terms of their ability to intelligently and thoughtfully bridge creative disciplines and media.
Their latest performative project, 'Weave of Dawn, might be described the following way:
"Cave Collective's latest synesthesia experiment reflects the duo's ongoing fascination with collectively exploring sensory and cognitive realities via light, color, and immersive tactile experiences. The mesmerizing fabrics attached to the net were all hand-dyed with natural materials that the artists alchemically concoct in the studio. The two artists communicated solely through light and vibrating sound played on ritualistic, metallic objects."
Handcast ritualistic ring created by Cave Collective
'Initiation' zine by Cave Collective
I am also very excited that Cave Collective will also be contributing materials from their studio to 'Lost in Fiber: The Gathering'. A studio visit with the duo is coming soon.

KEENE, N.H. – Led by Taylor Jette's game-high five goals the Owls of Keene State College remain undefeated in Little East Conference play as they handed lacrosse a 20-4 loss Wednesday afternoon at the Owl Athletic Complex.
With Wednesday's loss the Beacons saw their first two-game win-streak since the 2007 season snapped by the top team in the Little East Conference. The loss dropped UMB to 4-10 on the year, and 1-3 in LEC play. The Owls, winners of four straight, improved to 10-2, 4-0 in the conference.
Jette was joined by Tyler McKelvie who finished with four goals as the Owls recorded at-least four goals in every quarter in Wednesday's contest. Defensively, Keene State was just as consistent, holding the Beacons to only one goal in the first 30 minutes of play, and three over the final two quarters.
John Powers recorded two of the Beacons four goals, with the others going to Donny Delpha (Walpole, Mass.) and Dom Fichera (Scituate, Mass.). Delpha also picked-up an assist, on UMB's first goal of the game, a man-up score by Powers in the second quarter.
Between the pipes Henry Bristol (South Hadley, Mass.) faced a total of 62 shots from the Owls attack and made an impressive 18 stops. On the face-off "X" the Beacons saw a total of five different face-off men, with Patrick McGoff (Charlestown, Mass.) and Lucas Llona (Shelburne, Vt.) each collecting a team-best three. Bristol was once again the team leading in groundballs with five, while Joe Miller (Hull, Mass.) was the only other Beacon to record multiple groundballs.
Ryan McGoff (Charlestown, Mass.) led the Beacons defensive effort as he forced a team best three turnovers, but it was the Owls defense that was on point all afternoon forcing the Beacons to lose possession a combined 33 times.
Lacrosse returns to action on Saturday when they host Salem State University at 1 p.m. in a Little East Conference match. Prior to the start of the contest, the Beacons will honor their lone senior in Bristol, while at halftime former UMB and Boston State College alumni will be recognized as lacrosse will hold its first official alumni day in over a decade.

Number 1139: Herbie and the spirits
I consider Herbie one of the great comic book creations of the 1960s. It was oddball and different, just crazy enough to have something of a cult grow around it. Or maybe it wasn't really a cult-cult, as in a group of people, maybe it was just me, but surely I wasn't the only one who grabbed every new issue of Herbie off the spinner when it came out. But it might have been only me who put the Marvel Comics I bought simultaneously to the side while I read Herbie, and very often, the Marvel Comics I then read seemed anticlimactic.
Herbie was revived in the early nineties in a handful of issues. It didn't work. The true Herbie canon resides in a short stack (23 issues) of the Herbie comic book, and a few issues of Forbidden Worlds. The nineties revivalists had talent, but no one had what ACG editor, Richard E. Hughes (writing as Shane O'Shea), and artist Ogden Whitney had. They'd done dozens of stories, many as screwy plotwise as any issue of Herbie. I showed one of them in February when I posted the "Delinquent in Space" two-parter from Adventures Into the Unknown in Pappy's #1112. But nothing else they did had quite the same hallucinogenic feel as a Herbie story. Maybe it was Herbie's unusual speech patterns, or his ability to levitate, talk to animals, or maybe though he was a little round kid with heavy-lidded eyes and thick glasses he was still a sex object to females. Or maybe it was those lollipops.
In this story, Herbie's second appearance from Forbidden Worlds #94 in 1961, he changes schools and meets new kids who are expecting someone quite different than Herbie Popnecker. As Herbie fans know, the word "different" when used to describe him seems inadequate.

Herbie by Hughes and Whitney is the justification for the existence of comic books.
- Jeff Overturf said...
Wow! From Eisner to Herbie...your firing on ALL my favorite cylinders this week, Pappy!
- Kirk said...
I love the deadpan drawing style. It makes Herbie seem even weirder, and funnier.
- Pappy said...
Martin, Jeff, Kirk...I'd give you all a hard-to-find cinnamon lollipop, but I've had them in my pocket a long time and they're covered in lint. Still, thanks for the comments.

The Lady Bisons won the A-Sun Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the history of the program.
Allen is the second highest scorer in the NCAA Division I era with 1,078 points over her career. She currently holds the record for rebounds (935) and blocked shots (329).
The 2009-10 campaign was Allen's first year as a full-time assistant coach for Lady Bisons head coach Frank Bennett.
In 2008-09 she served as a graduate assistant coach for the Lady Bisons. Allen received her B.S. in Health and Physical Education in December of 2006. She received her Masters in Education Administration at Lipscomb.

Australian Eurovision invasion predates Jessica Mauboy
Part of SBS's pitch for viewers to tune into the Eurovision Song Contest next week is that Australian Jessica Mauboy's performance "marks the first time in Eurovision history a solo artist from a non-European Union country has been invited to perform".
But, oddly, she won't be the first Australian to do it. Three Australians have sung at the world's biggest celebration of kitsch music – who knew?
In 1974, the year Olivia Newton John first stormed pop charts with I Honestly Love You, she represented the United Kingdom at Eurovision in Brighton with Long Live Love, a saccharine number chosen in a public postal vote. But not even her wholesome star power could compete with the explosion of Abba mania, and the jump-suited Swedish quartet won with Waterloo, the most popular Eurovision song of all time.
Newton-John, then 25, came fourth, in floaty baby-blue floor-to-ceiling dress, and later admitted she didn't much like the song.
By far the most successful Australian though – and the most successful Eurovision performer from any country, was Frankston-born Sean Michael Patrick Sherrard, aka Johnny Logan, aka "Mr Eurovision". He won the event three times for Ireland.
In The Hague in 1980, as a hunky 26-year-old, Logan was a runaway winner with saxophone-backed ballad What's Another Year. The song was so popular that even Shane MacGowan released a version, with a surreal video clip featuring creepy vicars and topless dancers.
When Logan won in 1980 he was famously so overcome that he couldn't hit the high notes in his winner's reprise and famously blurted out: "I Love you Ireland!!"
Dressed in a futuristic head-to-toe white outfit, Logan won again in 1987 with a self-penned ballad, Hold Me Now, and also wrote the winning song for Linda Martin in 1992, Why Me. Logan too penned the track that came second in 1984.
Brisbane's Gina G (real name Gina Gardiner) was the last Australian to sing at Eurovison, with Eurodance classic Ooh Aah … Just A Little Bit.
Gardiner left Australia in 1993 chasing a solo career in the United Kingdom and was selected by British producer Jonathan King to represent the UK in Oslo in 1996. King believed the song, which was speculated to be a pop tribute to then Manchester United superstar Eric 'Ooh Aah' Cantona, "was a certain winner". Gina G came third after the pre-qualifying round but faded to finish eighth after a nervous performance in a teeny mirror dress.
But Ooh Aah … Just A Little Bit topped the UK singles chart and around the world (even earning a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording in 1998). It remains one of the biggest selling singles from Eurovision.
She pleaded with OK! TV presenter Jenny Frost in 2011: "I never want to sing it again … please let me move on!" and now 40, she lives in Los Angeles with two children.
Few details of Mauboy's song are known, other than that it is an original song that she hasn't performed before. She did, however, say the song reflected her indigenous background.
"I've never done anything like this before ... it's my first international performance [so] I wanted to keep it consistent with who I am."

Hope football player Santino DiCesare has been given the Flying Dutchmen's Allan C. Kinney Award, which has been presented annually since 1971 by the football coaching staff to a senior player for maximum contribution to the football program.
This award is named in memory of Allan C. Kinney, a member of the Hope football team who died of cancer in his senior year in 1967.
DiCesare is a senior safety from Dorr (Wayland HS). He claimed All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association First Team honors for the second time last month. He holds the school record with a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown at Olivet during the 2011 season.
DiCesare was honored during a recent team banquet along with Team Offensive MVP and running back Shawn Jackson of Comstock Park (Comstock Park HS) and Team Defensive MVP Cody Lindemulder of Mulliken (Lake Odessa HS).
Kinney was a business major from 1964-67 who was heavily involved in many aspects of campus life, from the football team, to the Fraternal Society, to the Kemper Scholars — a highly selective business leadership development program. From the records that were kept, it is clear that he lived his life with a passion for being involved with and contributing to Hope's community. Sadly, Allan was diagnosed with cancer and passed away on November 11th, 1967 — less than a year away from his graduation.
To honor his memory, Kinney's parents, Norm and Louise Kinney, established the Allan C. Kinney Award through the football program. During the years before their deaths, they would personally present the award at the post-season banquet.

Crespi 36, St. Bernard 19
Randle Harris scored five first-half touchdowns and Encino Crespi's defense held Playa del Rey St. Bernard to eight first downs as the host Celts defeated the Vikings.
Harris rushed 18 times for 121 yards and four touchdowns and caught a nine-yard scoring pass from Kevin Vollmer.
The victory moves Crespi (6-1, 2-0) into first place, a half-game in front of defending league champion Gardena Serra, which plays tonight and will face the Celts next week.
St. Bernard (5-2, 1-1) scored first on an 80-yard pass play from Kennedy Offoegbu to Jared Billups, but Crespi answered by scoring on five of its seven first-half possessions. The two non-scoring possessions were turnovers in St. Bernard territory.
St. Bernard closed to within 22-13 after an 80-yard touchdown run by Marcus Crockett in the second quarter, but Harris had scoring runs of two and five yards before the half that gave Crespi a 36-13 lead.
St. Bernard held Crespi to 27 second-half yards and Harris had only 28 yards after intermission, but the Vikings were unable to capitalize. Trailing, 36-19, the Vikings saw an Offoegbu pass fall incomplete on fourth down from the Crespi six-yard line with 7:03 to play.
The Celts took over and gained four first downs to use up the rest of the clock.

Fullerton 35, La Habra 3
Several big plays and a very big player kept the Indians (7-0, 2-0) undefeated and on top of the Freeway League standings.
Fullerton (4-3, 1-1) took a 14-3 lead just before halftime on a five-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Xavier Hicks to tight end Darren Fells on a timing play in the end zone where the 6-8 Fells leapt over the defender to make the catch. The play was set up by an 88-yard punt return by Ricky Reynoso.
Fullerton extended its lead to 18 points with a 14-play, 81-yard scoring drive that opened the third quarter, then got a 93-yard interception return for a touchdown from Hicks. He picked up a nice block on La Habra quarterback Danny Morales from teammate David Allen that sprang Hicks the final 25 yards up the La Habra sideline.
It was Hicks' sixth interception of the season. He also passed for two touchdowns.
Fullerton running back Brian Allen ran for 147 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown run. But his 60-yard run for an apparent score was nullified by a penalty. Fullerton had a 52-yard fumble return by Jose Miranda for another apparent touchdown also called back on a penalty.
Morales, under heavy pressure from Fullerton's defense all night, passed for 151 yards, but was thrown for rushing losses seven times.

Dominguez 30, Lynwood 27
There's nothing fancy about the Compton Dominguez offense. The Dons cluster together in their double wing-T formation -- football's version of a scrum in rugby -- and dare the other team to stop their relentless running game.
Lynwood wasn't up to the task.
Dominguez, ranked No. 20 in the Southland by The Times, overpowered the Knights when it counted Friday en route to a victory in a game between previously unbeaten teams at Lynwood Middle School.
Sam Hopkins rushed for 165 yards and three touchdowns in 23 carries. His six-yard scoring run on fourth and goal with 1:14 to play gave Dominguez a 30-21 lead and capped a 13-play, 58-yard drive that sealed Lynwood's fate.
"I felt I was unstoppable," said Hopkins, a senior who also scored on runs of seven and 20 yards. "I just told the coach to give me the ball, and I made it happen."
Hopkins had plenty of help. Darryl Crummie gained 76 yards in 12 carries and scored on a 10-yard run. Dion Bell rushed for 67 yards in 13 carries and set up a touchdown drive with an interception. And the Dons' massive offensive line opened holes all night.
Dominguez (7-0, 2-0) extended its winning streak over Lynwood to 11 games. The Knights have not beaten the Dons since 1992.
Lynwood (5-1-1, 1-1) trailed, 23-21, after a 15-yard scoring pass from Ashlee Palmer to Ellis Powers with 7:05 to play. The Knights made the final score close on another Palmer scoring pass with four seconds left.
Marlin Simmons, Lynwood's defensive leader at linebacker, led the Knights with 74 yards rushing in only three carries.

Irvine 40, Woodbridge 0
St. John Bosco 22, Santa Margarita 0
Junior running back Daniel Jenkins rushed for 83 yards in eight carries and four other players scored as the Braves upset previously unbeaten Santa Margarita at St. John Bosco.
Santa Margarita (6-1, 1-1), ranked No. 14 in the Southland by The Times, played without versatile senior quarterback Michael Angelo, who was benched for disciplinary reasons after arriving late for a mandatory game-day church service at Santa Margarita. Angelo had rushed for 464 yards and six touchdowns and passed for another six touchdowns entering the game.
Senior Ryan Neinhuis replaced Angelo but was ineffective passing. Neinhuis completed two of eight passes for 11 yards with one interception, although he was the team's second leading rusher with 37 yards in 10 carries. Chris Ramsey had 43 yards in 11 carries to lead the Eagles, who finished with just 125 total yards.
St. John Bosco (6-1, 1-1), ranked No. 19 by The Times, scored in each quarter. Louis Spindola kicked a 37-yard field goal in the first, Greg Chavez had a six-yard touchdown run in the second, Michael Acosta returned an interception 40 yards for a touchdown in the third and Anthony Rodriguez caught a six-yard scoring pass from Patrick Cowan in the fourth.
Terrence King, who had rushed for 628 yards and 12 touchdowns as a backup, finished with 60 yards in 15 carries for the Braves. The defending league-champion Braves beat Santa Margarita for the second consecutive season after losing the first five games between the teams.

Fountain Valley 21, Los Alamitos 16
Fountain Valley had lost by one point to Mission Viejo, The Times' second-ranked team in the Southland, and by one touchdown to No. 14 Santa Margarita, but on Friday, the Barons finally landed the big one.
Taking advantage of seven turnovers, and scoring three touchdowns in the second half, No. 17 Fountain Valley beat top-ranked Los Alamitos at Veterans Stadium in Long Beach.
It snapped a 19-game winning streak for the Griffins (6-1, 1-1 in league play), who were ranked No. 2 in the state.
"We didn't deserve to win," said Coach John Barnes, whose team won the Southern Section Division I title last year. "They made plays, we didn't make plays.
"Life goes on."
Life will be a little happier today for the Barons (5-2, 2-0), who scored 14 points in the third quarter and another seven in the fourth, then held on in the final 4 minutes 31 seconds as heavy fog enveloped the field.
It came right after Joshua Jones scored from one yard to make it 21-14.
On the ensuing kickoff, Fountain Valley's Bryan Reihm was tackled in the end zone for a safety, giving Los Alamitos a gift-wrapped opportunity to steal the victory.
On the punt, Chad Dunn's 26-yard return gave Los Alamitos the ball at the 47, but five plays later, Jones fumbled at the 30 and Bryan Schutte recovered with 2:25 remaining.
"This feels like a Super Bowl," said Kyle Feiler, who rushed eight times for 78 yards and scored touchdowns of 16 and six yards in the third quarter. "We were pumped up. We brought everything we could. We just don't like Los Al."
If the Barons were emotional, Los Alamitos was not -- something that has dogged the Griffins the last few games.
Ryan Best's interception ignited the third-quarter rally. He batted the ball to himself and returned it 10 yards to the Los Alamitos 32-yard line. From there it took four plays to score as Feiler -- a running back -- lined up at quarterback in the shotgun and ran a draw. John Asmussen kicked the extra point to make it 7-7.
The Barons got another big play on their next drive, catching Los Alamitos in a blitz to gain 52 yards on a screen play to Best. Three plays later, Feiler scored from six yards.
And in the fourth quarter, Kevin Gerard stepped in front of a Jimmy Barnes pass and returned it 57 yards for a 21-7 lead with 8:32 left.
"I knew [Jeremy] Childs is the receiver they want to go to," said Gerard, who had two of Fountain Valley's four interceptions.
David Patterson also had one.
"I told him he could get a lot of recognition if he shut down Childs," said Johnson, who watched Childs catch only four passes for 31 yards. "I think he did."

Los Altos 42, South Hills 13
Defensive end-tight end Brigham Harwell of Hacienda Heights Los Altos is so quick that the blink of an eye risks missing one of his many dazzling moves.
"He's as good as there is," Los Altos Coach Greg Gano said after Harwell recorded two sacks, recovered a fumble, forced a fumble, caught a touchdown pass and ran for a touchdown in a victory over West Covina South Hills.
Los Altos (7-0), ranked No. 1 in the Southern Section Division VI coaches' poll, trailed South Hills (6-1), ranked No. 1 in Division VII, 13-7 at halftime. Then came the Harwell onslaught.
A preseason All-American who's committed to UCLA, Harwell recovered a fumbled snap by quarterback Philip Guerrero on the second play of the third quarter.
That ignited a 35-point second-half outburst by the Conquerors that featured four touchdown passes by senior quarterback Jason Estrada, including a school-record 98-yard reception by Travis Brown.
Estrada, a left-hander who plays one half of each game in a platoon system with junior quarterback Daniel Sandello, completed five of nine passes for 202 yards. Neither quarterback likes splitting time, but it's working to perfection for the Conquerors.
Los Altos' passing success came against a team that has two of the best cornerbacks in Southern California in the Payton twins, Bryan and Jeremy. But the Paytons were overwhelmed in the face of an aggressive, relentless Los Altos second-half effort.
Estrada guided Los Altos to touchdowns on its first four possessions of the second half. There was an 18-yard touchdown pass to Brown, a seven-yard touchdown pass to Harwell, an 18-yard touchdown pass to Tau Alo and finally the 98-yard pass to Brown.
Los Altos recovered two fumbles and came up with three interceptions in the second half, two by Alo.
Guerrero frustrated Los Altos defenders in the first half by releasing quick passes and rolling out to avoid a furious pass rush. He completed 10 of 14 passes for 158 yards. In the second half, however, he was three of 10 for 48 yards with three interceptions.
He connected with Bryan Payton for a 30-yard touchdown pass on South Hills' opening possession and gave the Huskies a 13-0 lead with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Robertson late in the second quarter.
Harwell's two sacks give him 12 this season and 59 in his career, 10 short of tying the school record held by Shaun Cody, now at USC.

Orange Lutheran 55, Katella 0
The Southland's top-rated passer, Katella's Ethan Haller, passed for 200 yards against No. 7 Orange Lutheran - not that it mattered. He had four passes intercepted, with two returned for touchdowns, and the Lancers (6-0, 2-0) scored a one-sided victory at Glover Stadium in Anaheim.
"They're a lot faster than you see on film," said Haller, who completed 16 of 36 passes, with 142 yards coming on four completions. "A lot faster. Every position."
Haller entered the game for Katella (4-3, 1-1) averaging more than 297 yards passing per game with 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
Michael Haddad returned an interception 68 yards to give Orange Lutheran a 42-0 lead with 1:48 left in the first half. Kyle Renny returned the first of his two interceptions 10 yards to set up a 28-yard field goal by Troy Van Blarcom on the last play of the first half.
R.J. Badger had a 30-yard interception return for a score to make it 55-0 with 55 seconds left in the third quarter.
"Our defense played real well against an excellent quarterback with excellent receivers," said Orange Lutheran Coach Jim Kunau. "We knew they'd get some yards in the air, but we thought we could make some plays too."
Seth Blackamore completed eight of nine passes in the first half for 197 yards and two touchdowns and Pat Roxas, John Ausmus and Alex Mason each rushed for a touchdown for the Lancers, who amassed 252 yards rushing.

Hart 56, Canyon Country Canyon 21
There will be no changing of the guard this year.
At least not in the storied rivalry between Newhall Hart and Canyon Country Canyon.
In what was supposed to be Canyon's game to turn the tables on their Foothill League rivals, it was business as usual Thursday night as Hart pounded the Cowboys at Canyon High.
Canyon (6-1, 1-1 in league play) entered the game with hopes that it's high-flying offense could stifle a Hart team that had struggled early in the season, but a 28-point first quarter outburst by Hart (4-3, 2-0) sent Canyon's hopes floating away.
Hart quarterback Sean Norton completed 17 of 27 passes for 324 yards and four touchdowns and added 88 yards rushing and two touchdowns in 18 carries to lead the Indians to their 13th consecutive victory in what has become a lopsided rivalry. All four of Norton's touchdown passes came in the first quarter.
"We've been doubted all year," Norton said. "Nobody gave us respect and we're all about gaining respect."
The 56 points by Hart are the most scored by either team against each other in at least 19 years and the victory signified that a significant gap still remains between Hart and everyone else in the Foothill League.
"I'm very surprised [by the final score]," Hart Coach Mike Herrington said. "But our guys were focussed all week and had a lot of confidence. It looked easy but it wasn't. They're a fine team but we were on all cylinders."
Hart scored early on Norton passes of 20 and 40 yards to Norris Whitmore and Evan Surratt, respectively, when a stadium blackout delayed the game for 32 minutes just before Hart's ensuing kickoff. After the delay, Hart kicked to open space in the Canyon return formation and recovered the ball.
Norton connected with Terry Leigh two plays later for a 21-0 lead. After the Hart defense forced a Canyon punt, Norton connected with Whitmore on a 66-yard touchdown play.
Dan Howell, who had 113 yards rushing in 17 carries, added a 31-yard scoring run for Hart in the fourth quarter.

Human Ancestor "Little Foot" Goes Public
Scientists in South Africa are showing off a human ancestor called Little Foot. The near-complete skeleton named for its small foot bones is the oldest hominid skeleton ever found in South Africa's so-called Cradle of Humankind. It's estimated to be more than 3.6 million years old. Little Foot was found in a calcified, ancient cave in 1997. Hominid fossils from the cave system where Little Foot was found were first discovered in the 1930s.
The more recent discovery of Little Foot reinforces the belief that South Africa was a major cradle of human evolution, with diverse hominid ancestors.

Can you do citrus fruits without this attachment (on the Omega 1000/9000 and Acme Juicers)?
The citrus attachment makes the juicer like a motorized citrus juicer, (like mom used). The Omega 1000/9000 and Acme 5001/6001/7001 will juice citrus without the attachment, just peel the grapefruit or orange and put through the machine. (there are inedible pigments in the skin) (Lemons and limes can be cut and put in whole). The attachment lets you cut the orange in half, and "ream" it, thus producing juice faster. When juicing the whole fruit without the attachment, you are getting more nutrients from the fruit, since the white "pith" contains most of the nutrients.

Due to reduced order intake as a result of the general uncertainty that has been influencing world economy in recent weeks, further intensified by the war in Iraq, Management in Grundfos A/S, the pump group's Danish production company, decided to reduce the number of production workers by 250.
Over the past few weeks stocks have been increasing and production workers have been asked to phase out outstanding off-hours.
- We hope this is a temporary falling-off, and we hope to be able to offer the employees in question work again later on. However, whether this will be possible depends completely on the general development and order intake, says Managing Director, Lars Aagaard, Grundfos A/S.
The reduced order intake is particularly acute in the Danish factory, partly due to reduced sales in the countries close to the Iraqi war zone, such as Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Turkey and Greece, as well as the important American market.
On the other hand, things are going better in other parts of the world, for instance the markets in South East Asia, where the Grundfos Group's factories are not short of orders.
Group Management hopes for and expects improvements in the situation after a clarification of the situation in Iraq is reached, and consequently expects the Group as a whole to achieve the general goals of 2003.

Liquid Expresso Xtra Fine Point Pens
by Sanford
These pens feature an extremely durable plastic point that won't spread or mush and a translucent barrel for a visible ink supply. Their "Humistatic" ink formulation keeps points moist so even if the pen has been left open for days, a few strokes will revive it. The ink is also acid-free, water-based, and quick drying so it won't smear – it's great for use in scrapbooking, crafts, and letter writing.

Last night I had the opportunity to visit a local library and speak about my life, writing, book love and other randomness. The Friends of the Library advertised, baked and decorated. They filled the room to capacity. I mean. Really. There were late-comers seated on the floor. My bestie picked me up from home, drove me, hauled books, kept me from puking because I am a nervous speaker, and collected money among many other things. A friend from years past made a special trip to the town to see me. My in laws watched three kids until Hubsy could get home and take over.
This was just one small, 1 hour event. And look at all the support and involvement I needed and received.
Before any contract is ever signed, at least one beta reader gives me honest feedback. Beta readers should be hugged. They volunteer their precious time to read a manuscript that may never be published – likely one by an author like me who no one has ever heard of. Then, my critique group combs over the words some more seeking rogue commas, plot holes and general writing no-nos. Then my agent reads it and edits it again, sometimes more than once.
After the contract is in place, my international online family rallies to support my accomplishment, allowing me to guest blog for them, tweeting about the success, posting the book trailer…the list goes on and on and on.
I am daily humbled, encouraged and utterly overwhelmed at the incredible people in my life. If you're reading this post -that means you too. If you don't have a writer-support group, find one. Get in touch with those who understand you, will lift you up when the rejections roll in, help edit your hate letter to the meaner agents, then convince you never to send it once you've gotten that out of your system. We need each other. Writing is no longer a solitary endeavor. Success takes a village.
Who's in your village?
