Boxing Day date in Swindon for Jahmene
9:00am Monday 17th December 2012 in News
X FACTOR sensation Jahmene Douglas will be one of the town's hottest tickets in years when he makes a homecoming appearance at a town centre nightclub.
The star will roll out his silky vocals at Bushwackers and Sin after winning over millions of TV viewers in his emotional journey to the runner's-up spot.
The ASDA worker switched on the Christmas lights earlier this month as 28,000 people crowded into the town centre – but his guest appearance on Boxing Day will be the first time he has performed at a Swindon music venue since shooting to fame.
He follows fellow X Factor contestants, including MK1, Jade Ellis, District 3, Rylan Clark and Union J, in making an appearance at the Fleet Street club.
All the acts were full of praise for Nicole Sherzinger's "little lamb" – but the 21-year-old singer had yet to confirm his appearance until the weekend.
Winner James Arthur, whose single Impossible is the fastest-selling release in the history of the ITV1 show, will appear on Sunday.
VIP tickets sold out in 45 minutes – but demand to see Jahmene take the stage in his hometown is expected to be even bigger.
Speculation was already rife on Twitter that he would appear after his fellow finalists made the trip to Swindon.
The former New College student, who won universal praise from the judges, will perform songs and take part in a meet-and-greet with VIP guests.
Described as shy and sensitive, he grew in confidence over the course of the show and showed a taste for nightlife by partying at Mahiki in Mayfair with other contestants.
Bushwackers general manager Sara Quinn said: "We're absolutely thrilled to bits to have landed Jahmene. It's the icing on the cake after having so many contestants visit straight after leaving the live finals.
"As well as a local boy he is one of the most talented singers the X Factor has ever seen and no doubt he will have many friends who will want to come and see him as well as countless new fans.
"We feel very privileged to be part of Jahmene's journey and look forward to finishing our exclusive X Factor season with a bang."
Fans are advised to turn up early on the evening to avoid queues and ensure a place inside the club.

I hope he does well as I hope eveyone does in their chosen profession. Maybe it is just a sad indictment on Swindon that so few actually make anything of themsleves so when they do some go completely mad!!!
Give it a year and I bet like all the other performers from Swindon he wont even mention it anymore! His life will never be the same again and most of the time he wont even have a say in it, I hope he doesnt live to regret it as more than a few do.

From gust to gale

Back in February, I wrote on the Goat blog about "sWINDle", an anti-wind energy billboard campaign in Idaho that was developed by the Energy Integrity Project, an obscure nonprofit that fancies itself a grass-roots watchdog. The group believes that wind energy projects in Idaho -- specifically those near EIP members' houses -- are not based on "genuine" science and that they threaten the economy, taxpayers, and the environment.
The Energy Integrity Project is one of a growing number of "grass-roots" groups around the country that aggressively lobby against regional wind development projects and renewable energy policies. And while most are small, NIMBY-type outfits, documents recently obtained by the Checks & Balances Project -- a government and industry watchdog organization -- suggest that these local groups are more coordinated in funding and strategy than the average citizen-run non-profit. With the help of prominent conservative think tanks -- a number of which have ties to the fossil fuel industry -- these smaller groups are working to combine their small gusts of regional anti-wind rhetoric into a national gale aimed at subverting the renewable energy industry.
In a press release issued this week, the Checks & Balances Project, whose watchdog work to date has largely focused on exposing the fossil fuel industry's influence on energy issues -- says that a network of anti-wind activists, including the members of several high-profile conservative organizations with funding ties to the oil and gas industry, gathered in the nation's capital in February 2011 to "confirm plans for a coordinated national disinformation campaign against wind energy."
The plans were detailed in a confidential public relations campaign proposal that Gabe Elsner, co-director for The Checks & Balances Project, found (along with a number of related documents) via a Google search. The proposal was edited and presented to participants at the February gathering -- dubbed the D.C. Energy Advocates Conference -- by John Droz, Jr., a longtime opponent of commercial wind energy and the conference's organizer. From The Checks & Balances Project:
The document details a series of wind energy attacks ranging from "counter intelligence," setting up a "dummy business" and steering kids away from science projects on wind because "it doesn't meet the criteria we set up." The document also notes that the groups should coordinate national messaging but make sure the same message "appears to come from as many as a dozen separate sources."
While Droz and other participants describe the conference as a gathering of concerned citizens opposed to government support for the wind energy industry, which Droz says has failed to "justify its existence," environmental groups and clean-energy advocates feel the gathering is "evidence of a concerted effort on the part of fossil fuel companies to squash a sector that could someday threaten their business interests," reports E&E News (subscription only).
Indeed, in addition to Droz's strategy memo, Checks & Balances' Elsner also found a list of conference participants, some of whom have ties to the oil and gas industry or are associated with groups that receive significant funding from fossil fuel interests.
For example, Droz is a senior Fellow at the American Tradition Institute, a conservative think tank that, Elsner says, receives 75 percent of its funding from Doug Lair, founder of Lair Petroleum, a business that billionaire oilman William Koch bought from Lair back in 1989. Paul Driessen, a Senior Policy Analyst at conservative free-market policy institute the Committee For a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) was also in attendance. CFACT received $577,000 from ExxonMobil between 2000 and 2007, according to the company's tax records and giving reports, but Driessen maintains that he was at the conference representing only himself. Marita Noon, Executive Director of the Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy (CARE) -- a New Mexico-based anti-wind lobby -- also participated. CARE is funded in part by New Mexico oil and gas producers.
This brings us back to the Idaho-based Energy Integrity Project. According to that list of conference participants, Tauna Christensen -- the president of the EIP -- was there as well.
The EIP incorporated only recently and so it's unclear as yet who funds the group. Christensen claims the EIP is paid for by concerned citizens "out of their own pockets." But, like the other supposedly self-supported anti-wind groups at the conference, notes Elsner, the EIP is -- in its "sWINDle" campaign – running what appears to be a very well-funded effort against local wind energy projects and policies. In fact, Elsner looked into how much it costs to advertise via billboard in Idaho: A quote he got from a Boise billboard company said 14 billboards would run $13,000 a month. So buying anti-wind billboards is a pricey endeavor for a group that Christensen says has only 4 active members.
For its part, The Checks & Balances Project, is not exactly a disinterested party in the wind energy debate: "We are pro-clean energy", says Elsner. But, unlike the EIP and other clean-energy-bashing groups, The Checks & Balances Project believes in transparency and is open about its funding sources: Renew American Prosperity (RAP) and the New Venture Fund. RAP supports Elsner's work, and it, in turn, is funded by clean technology attorney Mike Danaher.
If groups like the EIP are going to embark on subversive local and national campaigns of disinformation about wind energy -- an industry they claim is non-viable despite the fact that electricity generation from wind increased from 6 billion kilowatt-hours in 2000 to about 95 billion kilowatt-hours in 2010 and that, since 1998, wind capacity has grown by an average of more than 25 percent per year -- then the least they could do is show us the money.

What I really liked about Argo was - 1)it created great suspense even though the outcome was known to all, 2)good balance between humor, fear, and other emotions, 3)well paced movie, 4)Tony Mendez's character was well portrayed.
When I saw Lincoln, I thought it would be an instant Oscar favorite. Later I saw Argo and thought that I enjoyed Argo much more.
It was not a coincidence IMO that Argo won so many awards before the Oscars. I am sure some people liked other movies better, but IMO Argo's win is very justifiable, and it can't be a "lets get back at the academy for the Director snub"
I have seen many undeserving movies win the Best Picture. This time there were more than one movies deserving of the honor (Argo, Lincoln, Life of Pi, and Zero Dark 30, IMO) and any of them would have been worthy of the BP award. However, I liked Argo the best. I am sure many voters felt the same way.
As James P. said in his Time Mag review of the show: "She and Adele share that rare, disarming gift of making the world feel delighted for their own wild good fortune."

"Nature is a damp, inconvenient sort of place where birds and animals wander about uncooked."
from Speedy Death
Many of the dresses looked better under stage lighting than on the red carpet.
I didn't like the trend toward unkempt/no hairstyles, either.
Jennifer is like everyone's cute, ornery kid sister who is now coming into her own. You can't help but feel affection for her. I do hope that this all wasn't too much too soon. Otoh what if she never wins again? I wonder if she was the life of the "Vanity Fair" party.
Random thoughts:
Anne Hathaway = what Rachel Berry's character is on GLEE (only not as successful as A.H.) Perky, overly earnest, talented, etc.
HATED all the pale dresses that do nothing but wash out the women. Either go classic black, classic white, or a jewel toned IMO
Seth McFarlane = grown-up looking Peter Brady.
Kristen Stewart = Kim Kardashian of the acting world. Insanly popular despite little talent. I had to laugh at those the wrote that she looked like she didn't want to be there. That's her perpetual expression. At least she's consistent.
Hugh Jackman is only getting better looking with age. Swoon!!!
The insertion of musicals like Chicago and Dreamgirls was completely nonsensical. Factor in that the telecast was produced by the people who produced Chicago, and you've got a self-serving, random menagerie of productions that are too recent to be considered classic, but too old to be relevent.
The Jaws play-off music was only funny once. Don't do it again.
Take a cue from "Wedding Crashers" toast rules, "Don't try to be funny. Be Heartfelt". They should ditch presenter "bits" altogether and just say something nice about the category they're presenting and get on with it.
The opening host number should be no longer than 7 minutes tops. That should be a rule going forward.

Twice. In 1 week.
I lost my code and my awesome plugin edits when my hard drive crashed, I started writing it again and I formatted the wrong partition. Seriously gutted! I tried to recover the data with undelete apps but it was gone forever.
No worry no more!
Now, I don't need to worry because I use Dropbox and have configured my local server to use it as the document_root of my dev site. That way, all the developing work I'm doing gets saved automatically online and is accessible on any of my pc's.
I don't even need to worry about being able to access the SAMBA share if I want to edit a file, I just open it from my dropbox on the pc I'm using and save it back there, it'll get automatically updated on my dev server.
Oops no more!
Another advantage is the revisions feature. You can go online and see the updates that you made to a file and revert it back to an earlier save. This has already saved me from crying, I always forget to rename a file before I start trying to add updates and before I know it, the whole thing is causing an error and I can't remember how to put it back the way it was! just luvin the revision feature!!
Get 2GB for FREE! (and help me out)
You can apply for a Dropbox for FREE and get a full 2GB to use to store anything from simple documents to executable files to database backups or like me, use it as your code repository and never go through the pain of a lost bit of awesome code again!
You can even install it on Linux which is super helpful when it comes to transferring files between a windows->linux network.
If you click this link and install your dropbox for free, we both get extra bonus space which would help me out a lot

Valpo's Macchi, Giancola & Mroz Selected PFL Players of the Week
Monday, October 13, 2003Valpo's David Macchi, Rob Giancola and Michael Mroz were selected Pioneer Football League Players of the Week following the Crusaders' 33-28 upset of then-#1-ranked Dayton on Saturday.
Macchi, Valpo's quarterback, shared the Offensive Player of the Week honor with Giancola, a wide receiver. Mroz, a cornerback, was tabbed as the league's Defensive Player of the Week.
A senior from San Jose, Calif./Willow Glen, Macchi passed for 404 yards and four touchdowns. He completed 22 of 33 passes and rushed for 40 yards on eight carries, finishing with 444 total yards. Macchi's touchdown passes were of 78, 36, 18 and 16 yards. He also made a significant play as a defender, knocking a Dayton defender out of bounds at Valpo's 15-yard line after he was returning a two-point conversion interception downfield in the game's later stages.
Giancola, a junior from Whiting, Ind./HS, broke his own single-game school record with 275 receiving yards - the highest receiving total in Division I-A and I-AA this season. He surpassed the school record of 233 he set Sept. 27 at Jacksonville. The 6'1", 215-pounder caught seven passes against Dayton, including touchdown receptions of 78 and 36 yards. The 78-yard catch and run proved to be the game-winning score. Giancola, who has tied the single-season school record with 11 touchdown receptions, also caught passes of 56, 44 and 40 yards on Saturday. He is averaging a Division I-AA best 124.9 yards per game and 32.3 yards per reception.
Mroz, a sophomore from Westfield, N.J./HS, made two of Valpo's three interceptions against Dayton. His first came at the Crusader 4-yard line, stopping a Flyer drive. Mroz's second pick occurred at the Dayton 29-yard line and set up a touchdown that extended Valpo's lead to 24-7 at halftime. He also finished the game with seven tackles and three pass breakups.

In the wild, staghorn corals are some of the largest corals found in reef formations around the world. In fact, they belong to one of two families of coral that make up 30% of all reef-building coral species. In the wild they are the most tolerant of changes to water temperatures, salinity, water movement and lighting. CONSERVATION
On the IUCN Red List for Endangered Species as Near Threatened (NT). Purple-tipped acropora have been propagated in captivity, thus helping to spare wild populations in the world's reefs. Captive propagated corals also tend to be healthier and live longer than their wild siblings.
SIZE: Colony size 3-5 feet, possibly larger; branch diameter to 3 inches RANGE: Pacific and Indian Oceans and the Red Sea HABITAT: Upper reef slopes where the current is very strong DIET: Some small plankton, but primarily photosynthetic deriving much of it food from symbiotic algae (zooxanthallae)

Funny Goats in the Army
The British have a long lasting tradition of having goats in the army. They serve as mascots, and are also honored with high army ranks, as Billy the goat (full name William Windsor, just like prince William). Goats are chosen at about 5 months old, and serve for 7 to 9 years, after which they retire to British zoos. During their service, each goat receives a ration of two cigarettes per day, which it eats, and is given a pint of Guinness a day after it gets one year old. Photoshop goats in the army of any country.
Funny Mountain Goat
Photoshop this mountain goat image (click to download) any way you wish. Some examples are: making this mountain goat climb some unusual places and objects, using this mountain goat image in advertisements, movies, paintings, putting the mountain goat into some unusual environment. These are just some ideas. Many thanks to Pasiphae and Stock Exchange for providing the source image.
Funny Goats in the Army
Apparently the British have goats in the army with pretty high titles. [ A disgraced British army goat has been reinstated to his rank of lance-corporal after shining on parade. Billy Windsor, mascot of the 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh, was demoted to fusilier - equivalent of private - after ruining a parade for the Queen's birthday at a military base in Cyprus, when he ran amok. The goat dodged his handler and darted from side to side, throwing soldiers off their stride.' In his first public appearance since his demotion, Billy, seven, reportedly performed exceptionally well and was reinstated by his commanding officer, reports the Scotsman. ] I've heard of animals in the army, but this is the first time I hear of goats with decent army ranks serving Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth by ruining her birthday and butting fellow soldiers. When asked whether he regretted the incident, Billy the goat responded: "Na-a-a-a-a-a-a." You know, there's lots of unfairness here. I love to butt people, but I get my face punched every time I do it. Goats do it and they get away with it, because they are goats. It's almost as unfair as being punched in the face for humping girl's legs, when every dog can do it and get away with it. The good news is that I'm growing a goatee and turning into an old goat, then moving to Britain, where I intend to join the army, butting everyone. That way if someone asks me why I'm butting them I can always say: "Whadddaaya wa-a-a-a-nt? I'm a goat-damn goa-a-a-a-t." In this contest you are asked to photoshop goats in the army. P.S. On a second thought, there's lots of old goats in the U.S. Army too, so I might as well stay.

Isorropia is primarily an interface to the Zoltan library, but can be built and used with minimal capability without Zoltan. To enable Isorropia's Zoltan support, you need to add '--enable-isorropia-zoltan' and '--enable-epetraext' to your Trilinos configure command, and provide include-paths and library specifications for Zoltan version 2.0 (provide these to configure using the '--with-incdirs' and '--with-libs' configure arguments).
The Isorropia::create_balanced_copy functions are free-standing functions (not class members) which simply take an input object (Epetra_CrsGraph, Epetra_CrsMatrix, etc.) and return a copy which is balanced across partitions.
For more sophisticated use-cases, such as performing one partitioning and then using it to redistribute multiple objects, it is more efficient to use the Isorropia::Partitioner and Isorropia::Redistributor classes. The general usage model is to:
Isorropia is currently aimed primarily at repartitioning/redistributing Epetra objects, including Epetra_CrsGraph, Epetra_RowMatrix (which includes Epetra_CrsMatrix and Epetra_VbrMatrix) and Epetra_MultiVector.
matrix_1.cpp demonstrates creating a balanced copy of Epetra_CrsGraph and Epetra_CrsMatrix objects using Isorropia::Epetra::create_balanced_copy functions.
part_redist.cpp demonstrates repartitioning and redistributing the contents of an Epetra_LinearProblem object, using the Isorropia::Partitioner and Isorropia::Redistributor classes. This program does not use user-specified weights/costs.
Other programs in the example subdirectory demonstrate the use of weights/costs data to influence the partitioner. See vert_weights.cpp, graphedge_weights.cpp and hgedge_weights.cpp.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal Online
November 27, 2012
Secord sparks swim Lions past Bulldogs
VI qualifying winning times posted in two events by Lions' junior and teammates.
Staff Reports
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
It wasn't just the fact that they won, but it was the way that Lockport beat visiting Kenmore East, 100-71, on Tuesday that was most impressive in the 2012-13 Niagara Frontier League boys swimming opener for both schools.
Head coach John Sullivan's young, but talented Lions (1-0 NFL) posted several Class A and Section VI Meet qualifying times en route to a big win over the Bulldogs (0-1 NFL), led by double individual winner Derek Secord.
Secord, just a junior, blazed to a first-place finish in both the 50 freestyle (:22.94) and the 100 freestyle (:52.24), posting sectional-qualifying times in both victories.
There was more good news in the 50 free with Lockport sophomore John Patterson finishing second and junior Ben Kutnyak taking third to make it a sweep for the Lions. LHS swept the 100 as well with junior Shawn Moore in second and Kutnyak third.
The tall, promising swim prospect Moore went on to win the 100-yard backstroke in 1:07.91 in another blue and gold sweep as sophomore Mike Dmochowski placed second and junior Bryan Wojcinski was third.
Junior Scott Guyton touched first in the 200 individual medley in a Class A qualifying time of 2:18.24. Dmochowski was second.
Lockport's other individual winner was senior diver diving Sean Kearns, one of the top three divers in the league this year, according to LHS diving coach Jasper Adams, who placed first with 248.70 points.
The Lions also won two of the meet's three relays with Moore, Guyton, Secord and athletic junior Jack Whalen winning the 200 medley relay in a sectional qualifying time of 1:49.77. Lockport also placed third with Dmochowski, freshman Austin Hinton, junior Brian Wojcinski and Kearns (1:58.53).
Taking the 200 freestyle relay were Lockport junior Chris Lachell, Whalen, Patterson and freshman Austin Hinton (1:46.40). Lockport was second as well with junior Jeff Wojcinski, Kearns, Kutnyak and promising freshman Cole Twomey.
The Bulldogs earned four individual first-place finishes and the meet's closing 400 freestyle relay.
Sophomore Graham Jones won the 200 free in 2:07.16. Lachell was second and Twomey was third for the Lions. Jones also won the 500 freestyle in 6:00.59 with Twomey in second.
Ken East junior Elijah Ramsey won the 100 butterfly with a sectional qualifying time of 1:00.01. Guyton was second and Wojcinski third for the Lions.
Bulldogs sophomore Matthew Peiffer took the 100 breast in a class qualifying time of 1:12.46. Whalen was third.
And with Lockport swimming exhibition in the 400 free relay, Ken East won with Peiffer, Jones, Ramsey and sophomore Jacob Steinborn (4:12.75). Lockport's Guyton, Lachell, Moore and Secord swam the race in 3:49.21.
Lockport won the junior varsity meet, 121-17.

By CHRIS AGEE
Despite a rainy week, movers were able to relocate Anytime Fitness from its former location to a much larger building on the opposite side of U.S. Highway 180 off Garrett Morris Parkway.
The sign was still being erected Thursday morning, but members were inside making use of some new fitness machines.
Rebekah DaVault, who owns the gym with her husband, James, said she is excited about the possibilities the new space will create.
She said the move provides an opportunity to offer additional classes and updated equipment.
"We needed to expand," she said. "We want to help the people of Mineral Wells and Palo Pinto County get healthy."
She said the change is indicative of Anytime Fitness' commitment to "keep it challenging for people," she added. "If you keep doing the same things you've been doing, you'll get the same results."
The Silver Sneakers program, designed for older members, and the Latin-themed aerobics program Zumba Fitness are among the new classes being offered at the new location, she said.
In addition to the benefits to members, DaVault said the repurposed building and surrounding property will also add to the overall appearance of the community.
She said the area's prior appearance struck her as industrial and did not adequately welcome visitors to Mineral Wells.
"Since I've been in town, that fence out there didn't look inviting," she explained, adding new landscaping and the beautification of the building itself will revitalize the property, making it more appealing to passersby.

Every week a panel of voters participate in The News' large and small school football polls. Check out this week's polls here.
We have one vote in each poll. Here's how we voted in the preseason, Week One, Week Two, Week Three, Week Four, Week Five, Week Six, Week Seven, Week Eight and Week Nine.
Here's this week's ballot, which is the last poll before the last poll, so we might as well look at how far teams might go:
1. Sweet Home (10-0) [last week's ballot: 1] -- And here we are: Sweet Home-Aquinas IV. It's been the de facto state championship for three years and it's No. 1 vs. No. 2 in the polls. The winner can get its orbitz.com on and search for rooms for a post-Thanksgiving trip (if it hasn't already).
2. Clarence (10-0) [2] -- Orchard Park, North Tonawanda, Clarence? The AA road seems tougher this year than the last two, starting with Rush-Henrietta and stud QB Ashton Broyld.
3. Orchard Park (8-2) [3] -- Quakers went out with a bang, even in the loss. Great second half made for super high drama.
4. Williamsville South (9-1) [4] -- I think the past weekend justifies my having the Billies fourth for quite a while. They're just not as big/deep as the top three. Told You So Part I: The rest of the poll has come around to that thinking.
5. St. Joe's (5-5) [5] -- 4-1 vs. WNY. Last week's ranking justified by big win over Canisius. Could the Marauders move up with a championship? It's possible. Waiting to see what happens at The Ralph. Fantasy football: Can you imagine a Licata vs. Kelly offensive showdown?
6. Canisius (7-3) [6] -- 3-2 vs. WNY. Crusaders not playing at The Ralph certainly a surprise this season.
7. St. Francis (4-6) [7] -- 4-1 vs. WNY. Keeping in line with my ballot for much of the season and certainly the last three weeks, the Msgr. Martin trio certainly deserves to be ahead of the second tier of Section VI large schools below. Told You So Part II: Seems like the rest of the poll has come around as well (all three are ranked).
8. McKinley (6-3) [10] -- Losses at Will East (playoff team), two at Sweet Home (enough said). Big wins: Grand Island, Starpoint by 20, at St. Mary's by 36, at Amherst by 14 in quarters. Look at it this way, after Week One, they're 6-2 with two losses to Sweet Home. I still don't like the mistakes they made against the Panthers in the two times I saw them, but I think we can give the Panthers credit for making a lot of those happen (South sure didn't look like the South we knew at The Ralph with five turnovers).
9. Jamestown (5-4) [8] -- Knocked down one spot with McKinley moving up. Loss Week One at Frontier, loss at Clarence, loss to OP, loss at OP. Big win: at Riverside in quarters.
10. Kenmore West (6-3) [9] -- Knocked down one spot with McKinley moving up. Loss Week Two at the very good version of schitzo Niagara Falls, loss at home to Riverside, loss at Clarence. Big wins: Lockport and Will North in tough AA North, vs. Frontier in quarters.
1. Alden (10-0) [3] -- Maybe the live chat will be different this week? :-). Bulldogs have a huge challenge in defending state champion Hornell ... but if they are able to win Saturday, who knows?
2. Fredonia (9-1) [5] -- They've beaten Southwestern, so who knows? Hillbillies may have to guard against post-huge-win-letdown syndrome. (One of the great mysteries of this season -- Hillbillies go OT against A-L).
3. Southwestern (9-1) [1] -- A championship drive did in a championship program. Trojans aren't going anywhere, of course, but they should be lauded for their part in an unbelievable run of Western New York football.
4. Lackawanna (8-2) [2] -- Oh, those point afters. Steelers could have been tied with Alden. That's true. It's also true that Alden could have been up three touchdowns instead of one.
5. Silver Creek (10-0) [9] -- Maple Grove, Randolph, Silver Creek? Strongest case for a state title right now, although Cal-Mum is a bonafide brand name for good football. I admit that I was wrong about Silver Creek (not ranked until last week) and also wrong about Randolph (ranked too high most of the season). After seeing everyone at The Ralph, this is where I've got to put the Black Knights.
6. Depew (8-1) [6] -- Not that it matters, but I definitely think Alden would have beat them.
7. Burgard (6-3) [7] -- I don't think it would have mattered, but it still stinks that Sanders was out in the semis.
8. Randolph (9-1) [4] -- See No. 5.
9. Cardinal O'Hara (5-4) [8] -- Losses remain to Canisius, St. Joe's, St. Francis and Ohio's Stuebenville. The Hawks deserve to be ranked and almost were this week. For those voting for Grover, the Nichols games really need to be looked at. I thought about them at No. 8. We'll see what we see on Thursday.
10. Pioneer (7-2) [10] -- Hang on by a chain link over Grover. If Fredonia keeps winning, maybe that pulls up the Presidents.
Don't like what you're reading? The comment space is below.
Also, visit here Wednesday for another live chat at 8:30 p.m. -- again on the eve of three straight days of fun football.

Norma Abbey's April 9 letter needs some clarification. The Second Amendment does not limit what kind of gun a person can have. Congress, or I should say the Democrats, have been trying to take away some of our guns by legislation, thus trying to do away with the Second Amendment. There are two polls showing that citizens are more afraid of the government than of terrorists. If Obama is trying to disarm us, Sen. Reid is doing his best to help, and Sen. Feinstein is pushing hard.
Hitler's steps were to get control of the health care, disarm the population and make himself dictator. If Obama gets the guns, then what is his next step? Obama swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. Instead, he shreds and bypasses it with executive orders. Can a man be trusted who keeps his background hidden?
Obama health care is an awful piece of legislation. It was passed without being read. As Sen. Pelosi said on TV, "We need to pass this to find out what's in it." More control by government.
What plans does the government have for 10,000 drones, 1.6 billion rounds of ammo, tanks and armored trucks? Obama will not level with us about the Fast and Furious and Benghazi scandals. If we hope to save our country, the Democrats need to wake up and force Obama to follow the Constitution, and be honest with us.

SPOTLIGHT: Sarasota Opera Festival: Pieces of the production puzzle
Date: February 6, 2013
by: Mallory Gnaegy | A&E Editor
Planning for the four-production Opera Festival is akin to putting together a jigsaw puzzle backstage. Operas "Turandot," "King for a Day," "The Pearl Fishers" and "Of Mice and Men" rotate simultaneously for more than a month. Sarasota Opera's director of productions, Chris Van Alstyne, is the brain responsible for putting the pieces together.
The loud chaos of chords from a full orchestra of practicing musicians filters down the hall into Van Alstyne's office. A man stops in to ask him about buying batteries; a woman pulls him away to talk about spray painting; Maestro Victor DeRenzi pops his head in. And this is all within 40 minutes. In one week, Van Alstyne has misplaced two pairs of glasses.
"It's nuts!" he says about the week before the festival begins. When people are watching an opera, they don't realize the work that goes on behind the scenes — they see the product, but they can't see how it's made.
"We're an opera factory," he says.
Numbers and Facts:
During the Opera Festival, there are about 250 employed crew and technical members, artists, orchestra members, chorus ensemble, principals and designers.
All four sets have to fit in about 2,400 square feet.
Roughly 16 stagehands have to take down and reconstruct a set in a two-hour time period.
Each multi-set production is allotted no more than a 53-foot tractor-trailer. Last year's opera festival had six tractor-trailers; this year there are four.
Chris Van Alstyne began planning for the Opera Festival 15 months ago.
Once Van Alstyne has a budget, he can start contracting designers. Then, he and the executives hold planning sessions with designers to map each production. Once they settle on a model, it's sent out to scenic shops around the country for quotes.
He starts with a sketch from a designer, moves to a white model, makes a painted model and, then, ships the model to where the set is built.
All set pieces must fit on stage, and the Opera House Proscenium is 36 feet wide by 22 feet tall. Many other opera houses average 50 feet wide and more.
There are about eight on-stage rehearsals in conjunction with each opera, to practice moving the sets.
An orchestra of 56 to 78 people must fit backstage in addition to the sets during the opera.
The set pieces can't be taller than 8 feet when they are loaded on the tractor-trailer because of the door width of the trailer. From there, they have to be under 9.5 feet tall to get through the door of the scene bay.
They can be built up in the set-shop, adjacent to the scene bay, but have to be assembled in the scene bay if larger than the 11-foot door from the shop into the scene bay.
Jeff Dean designed the set for "King for a Day," and it was built locally at Asolo's scenic shop.
Michael Wingfield originally designed the "The Pearl Fishers" set, last used in 2003, but because it was "over-loved" by other opera houses that had rented it throughout the years, it had to be completely rebuilt this year.
John Conklin designed "Of Mice and Men" in the 1990s. Sarasota bought the set from Glimmerglass Opera, in New York, where it was sitting in a barn, unused, for 10 years. Van Alstyne personally packed it into the tractor-trailer at the warehouse to get it to Sarasota Opera House.
Michael Schweikart's "Turandot" set came to Sarasota Opera House from three different scenic shops around the country from as far as Portland, Ore.
The largest set piece sits at 21.6 feet tall. On one side, is a backdrop for "The Pearl Fishers," designed by Wingfield and on the other side is a backdrop designed by Schweikardt for "Turnadot."

The Express-Star
The man suspected of robbing a Norman bank dressed as a woman was being held in the Grady County Jail yesterday after he was apprehended early yesterday morning in Norman by the FBI and Norman Police.
The Oklahoma City branch of the FBI said John Paul Matthews, 44, of Norman, is suspected of robbing the Republic Bank and Trust at gunpoint Oct. 7 at 1200 E. Lindsey Street in Norman.
Grady County Jail Administrator Shane Wyatt said the Grady County Jail has a federal contract with the U.S. Marshalls Western District to house federal prisoners awaiting extradition.
The FBI said the aledged bank robber walked into Arvest Bank, approached the teller and presented a note indicating he had a gun and demanded money. The report said he left the bank on foot with an undisclosed amount of money.
The FBI reported a witness seeing the cross-dressing bank robber get into a white Cadillac and recognized the man from surveillance video of a previous bank robbery at an Arvest Bank location in Norman Sept. 27.
He was expected to have an initial appearance in federal court Wednesday in Oklahoma City. The FBI said he would face federal bank robbery charges for both crimes.

One of my friends was asking me about South Africa via facebook. Mistake! I saw the message on my wall just after I received an e-mail telling me that I don't appear to be on the travel agency's list despite the fact I registered with them a couple of days before I headed down to the training day in Watford last month.
Sigh. Some days it just seems like sooo much hassle, and I wonder if I should be going, and then I'm reminded that actually I've known I've had a calling to do this since they first set up Soul Action.
I was chatting to my friend K. who is also going to be taking part in Soul in the City Durban. She's running the Edinburgh Marathon as she has to fund her trip pretty much purely on fundraising, but struggling to find an efficient way of collecting money from her sponsors who she's not likely to be able to see in person while she finishes up her uni degree in Scotland over the next couple of months. I totally can empathise with that.
For me it's not just going to South Africa. To work at the pregnancy crisis centre (which is only part-time) while paying off debts and bills over the last 18 months and to go to South Africa has meant I've had to give up things. I started listing them, and I began to realise just how materialistic, selfish and vain I can be without realising. I've been brought up in a culture that encourages people to express themselves on how we look and what we buy. And it shows…
Here are some of the 'sacrifices' I've made:
1. Not getting a second job – partly because my health is not the greatest but has got significantly better in the last 6 months!! Partly because it's tough to find a job that would work with what I do with the pregnancy crisis centre and with the national charity we're affiliated with. Not to mention the youth work stuff I do on a volunteer basis. To me those are my priorities.
2. Stopping wearing contact lenses. Wearing glasses is cheaper than contact lenses. My eyesight is shocking, so the contact lenses (even with a discount care plan) cost about £60 every 3 months. My glasses cost about £130 and unless my eyesight changes that's it. Paid for. Done. I've had the same glasses since 200. You do the maths and tell me which option is cheaper.
3. Stopping buying clothes & shoes for sake of 'retail therapy'. I last bought a pair of shoes last September. For me that's huge, because I love shoes, and I'm known for the shoes I wear. My clothes are beginning to fall apart, they're not the most fashionable. But I've stopped my shopping sprees. I had a 'relapse' in January, but rectified the situation by returning the items and getting a refund. I'm not even using birthday money for a shopping spree (although if I find a fairly traded purple headscarf I will buy it for the summer).
4. Stopping buying DVDs. This is probably the most difficult because my TV has stopped working. Notice that I'm always on Twitter? Now you know why…
5. No hair colouring. I wanted to go blonde again. But it would mean paying about £60-85 every couple of months. We'll just stick with the brunette-ish hair.
6. No piercings or tattoos. I don't need them. I'll just stick with my scarred navel and the 4 holes in my earlobes.
7. No trips to Aberdeen. Each time it costs me about £25-30 in petrol. Plus there's the cost of socialising in Kilau or Illicit Still.
8. Living at my parent's house. Something I swore I'd NEVER do. Yeah, well, here I am.
9. Cutting down on 'going out' to pub, Starbucks, cinema, theatre, restaurants etc. I do still do these things, because it's important to spend time with friends and it's what keeps our economy going. I just do them less…like I won't go to the cinema unless I actually want to see the film. I (usually) won't go to Starbucks unless it's to meet somebody there.
10. No more iTunes downloading or buying music in Fopp/Avalanche. No more spending hours on Amazon buying CDs, books and DVDs. I'll confess I do now have an 'Amazon Wish List' that is pages long as a result!! Yeah, ok I'll repent for my coveting later.
Has all that been tough? Yes. It has.
But it's not without rewards, because it means that I'm being wiser with my money, and treats are real treats. I've also been so blessed by other people's generosity during this time. And let's not forget it's more of an exchange really. In exchange for less of the 'stuff' and vanity, I get to do the things I love doing.
I don't have a job that I hate, and I know that going to South Africa is going to be an experience I'll never forget.

NORMAN — Passengers riding Norman's public buses may be paying more in the near future. A fare increase is under consideration for the Cleveland Area Rapid Transit system operated by the University of Oklahoma.
Better known as CART, the public transportation system serves students, the elderly, persons with disabilities, commuters and football fans, among others.
This would be the first fare increase in 18 years, OU Parking and Transportation Services Director Doug Meyers told Norman city leaders Monday. Meyers said a public forum on the proposed fare increase will be scheduled in the near future.
Currently, regular fixed route bus fare is 50 cents per passenger. The proposal would increase that fare to 75 cents and would increase the Sooner Express Route bus fare from $2.25 to $3.
Special patron fares would increase from 25 cents to 35 cents for regular routes, from $10 to $12.50 for monthly unlimited regular and from $1.10 to $1.50 for Sooner Express.
Regular fixed route unlimited fares and unlimited 30-day Sooner Express fares would remain at $25 and $50, respectively.
The largest fare increase proposed is for CARTaccess. Zone 1 fares would increase from $1 to $1.50, Zone 2 from $2.50 to $3.75 and a one-way trip (same day urgent) from $2.50 to $3.75. CARTaccess is the ADA/paratransit service operated by CART to provide origin-to-destination service for approved passengers.
Most CART funding comes from the Federal Transit Administration, the University of Oklahoma and the city of Norman. CART also makes use of grants and other funding programs where possible. Last year, the Norman Regional Health System also contributed to CART funding.
CART needs about $650,000 in annual operating costs due to aging buses. Meyers said vehicle replacement is high on the priority list and those vehicles come with a price tag around $400,000 each. About 37 percent of the fleet is at its maximum life, and another 31 percent will reach that point soon, he said.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS FOR THIS PROMOTIONAL Pedometers

The ease or ordering.
I liked the ease of ordering and the personal experience of talking to a real sales associate.
Our Logo came out great!
It actually turned out better than we expected. My boss was very happy.
Some items(pedometers) did not work well. We also had a few (less than 10) empty boxes.
This product is being used for a walking program at work for the employees. The price was nice and the product is doing what it is expected to do: count steps.
I like the fact that this pedometer is inexpensive and easy to use. We don't need all the bells and whistles that are commonly offered for more money. The best thing about this pedometer is that it has a lid that closes, and is easily opened to look at the display. The other ones like it tend to have the reset button on the front and I found that I was constantly knocking it enough to activate it. Very frustrating. The type we ordered eliminates that with the lid!
It's difficult to fairly rate the product since they have not all been used yet, but based on appearance and initial functionality, I'm satisfied.
Good price point but smaller than I anticipated.
The pedometer has something in it that rattles when it is moved. Some kind of loose part inside and it is the same way with all of them. Seems like a poor design. The imprint proof that I received showed my black imprint on a light blue background and it looked great. However, when I received it, the pedometer is dark blue and the black imprint hardly shows at all. My rep was able to redo the order at half price but I'm still out the initial cost of the original order so I'm not very satisfied with that. I think more could have been done to make it right.
