Kareem Hunt's reputation preceded him, and he was off and running on Friday night.
The senior, who is a main candidate for Ohio's Mr. Football award, scored on runs of 59 and 50 yards on South's first two plays from scrimmage, and they were off and running. The hosts scored touchdowns all eight times they had the football in the first half, and went on to a 63-20 win over Lakeside.
On the first run, Hunt took the ball around left end and cut back to the right. The second run came to the right side.
"The one thing that really disappointed me is that I think a few of our kids out there were scared (of Hunt)," Lakeside coach Ryan David said. "And I think that's the reason why he broke that (first) touchdown. And that was disappointing to me.
"The play was right in front of our sideline, so I was there first-hand to see it. It really disappointed me that some of our kids were scared. He's a great running back; don't get me wrong. But that was the only disappointment. And it wasn't all of our kids — just a few of them."
Hunt didn't keep that pace up. But he kept on running. With all of his carries coming before halftime, he totaled 263 yards in 18 attempts. He had six touchdowns, adding scoring runs of 2, 10, 1 and 44 yards, and now has season totals of 2,043 yards on 169 carries (12.1-yard average), 34 rushing touchdowns and 37 TDs overall in his team's eight games.
Hunt, who surpassed the 2,000-yard mark as a junior, went over that plateau again late in the first half, but was then nailed for a 5-yard loss to put him at 1,999. On the next play, he broke the 44-yard run up the middle on what would be his last touch of the evening.
Andrew Venclauskas scored the other two first-half touchdowns, as the undefeated and four-time defending Premier Athletic Conference champion Rebels (8-0, 5-0) built a 56-0 halftime lead. Venclauskas returned a punt 66 yards to paydirt and hauled in a 56-yard pass from Casey Klicman for his two scores.
The Dragons (1-7, 0-5) were able to put the ball in the end zone three of the four times they had the ball in the second half. Tyler Loftus (14-of-30, 206 yards, 1 INT) hooked up with Chase Knight (6 catches for 76 yards) for a 29-yard scoring pass play and found Nick Meola (82 yards on 5 receptions) for a 27-yard TD. In-between, Manny Lucas took the ball in from 15 yards.
"The one thing I'm proud of is we went out in the second half and our kids didn't quit," David said. "That was the one thing that made me very, very proud."
Loftus did throw for 93 yards in the first half, despite the fact the Dragons didn't advance farther than the South 44 during that time.
"They have a great defense," David said. "And (the fact we moved the ball some during the first half against them) gave us some positive to bring into halftime with. But they're as good as advertised."
Marcell Ballinger blocked a punt to set up Lucas' score. A 16-yard punt return by Shawn Gilbert and a personal foul gave Lakeside possession at the Rebel 29 three plays before Knight's score.
"We were happy that we scored," David said. "They're ranked (6th in Division I) in the state for a reason."
South scored its last touchdown on a 1-yard run by Shawn Mackey (19 carries, 61 yards) that capped a 63-yard, 16-play march on which South ate up more than 10 minutes. The bulk of the Rebels' plays after the intermission were runs up the middle.
"Their coach (Matt Duffy) is an absolute class act," David said. "I told him after the game (that) they played a great game, but he was really, really classy. And that was something that everyone at South should be proud of; they've got such a classy coach."
South, which has not lost a PAC contest since the final game of the 2007 season, racked up 403 yards on the ground and 472 total yards. Lakeside was held to 31 rushing yards on 21 attempts.

It isn't often you find a people going on about how a bartender changed their life for the better, but there aren't many bartenders like Murray Stenson.
"Everybody has a 'Murray changed my life' story," said friend Evan Wallace, who counts himself among the many.
Stenson, the venerable barman widely celebrated as "America's Best Bartender," helped Wallace launch his line of champagne preservation devices.
"He is just so kind and gracious," said Wallace. "I've seen homeless people walk into his bar, obviously without a penny to their name. The first thing Murray does is look them in the eye and treat them like they're the president."
Stenson is known for his uncanny memory, remembering the name and drink of nearly every customer he serves. He is a master of the perfect cocktail, but far beyond that, he's the perfect mix of personality, wit and heart. And it's that heart that has people so concerned. Recently Stenson started fainting. He fell and broke his arm and has been unable to work. Then came the news that Stenson, the guy who's made it his life's work tending to others, needs heart surgery.
He has no insurance
"I'd do anything for him," said Ben Dougherty of Seattle's landmark Zig Zag Café, where Stenson worked the bar for years. "This place wouldn't exist if not for the influence of Murray."
Now, Doughterty, and a bunch of Stenson's friends and customers, are raising the bar of loyalty that the humble Stenson set so high.
"He is a person who conducts himself in a way that I aspire to be," said Dougherty. "That's the true measure of a man. Without him, I wouldn't be here."
A Facebook campaign has gone global and raised $35,000 in just four days. As Wallace sits sipping a champagne at the Zig Zag, his phone buzzes.
"That's another $1,000 just since we've been sitting here," he said.
Never a fan of the spotlight, Stenson turned down KING 5's request for an interview, but he did say he hates putting friends in this situation. He conceded, though, he has no choice but to let them pick up this round.
And they're happy to oblige.
"Everybody just wants to see Murray moving again," said Wallace. "We need to get him back behind the bar."
Update: Since KING 5 aired the story about Murray, donations have spiked. Fundraisers have now reached the $50,000 mark, which includes a $10,000 donation by an anonymous donor. Friends said Murray's surgery is likely to cost $150,000-$200,000.
Multiple fundraisers are being planned from Seattle to Portland and other locations across the country and globe. You can find the one nearest you and other ways to donate by checking out the following links:

We've been shielding the world with thermonuclear protection for 30 years. Oakley lens material blocks every baking ray of UV from that blast furnace in the sky, and to salute three decades of innovation, we're unleashing a new eyewear collection called Fallout.
These comfortably lightweight O Matter® frames carry a metallic anodized finish. The hell-and-back look honors our thermonuclear heritage, along with the grit and glory of athletes who survive and thrive in the carnage of competition. Some would say it's post-apocalyptic style but it's much more: an absolutely unique approach to originality and a street look that has no equal. With finishing that appears crafted by the elements, the effect is worn and weathered like a well-lived life that has a story to tell.
The gritty attitude and ties to heritage make the Fallout Collection a prelude to Max Fearlight, the visionary campaign from years ago that featured a survivor of Armageddon in his bunker sanctuary. It paid homage to the thermonuclear protection of Oakley lenses, and it led to the Max Fearlight Collection.

This weekend, New York City got its first big blizzard of the winter and I was snowed in. I decided to take the opportunity to test a recipe I was noodling over for butternut squash soup. Typically, when I want to cook something new, I check out different versions of it on the web—usually FoodTV.com—mostly for cooking times and temps, and then adapt it to my own tastes. This butternut squash soup is dairy-free and you won't miss the leche one bit—squash is super creamy and filling on its own and chicken stock (or vegetable, if you want to keep this totally vegetarian) is a great flavor-boosting liquid.
Personally, I like mine pretty peppery. I also think it would be super tasty with a dollop of goat cheese, but I haven't actually tried that yet. Serve with toasted baguette!
Note: If you like your soup to be sweeter, you can omit the fennel and add nutmeg.

Don't waste the turkey carcass
Published: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 2:52 p.m.
Food-wise, one of the saddest things I've seen on Thanksgiving is a meaty turkey carcass in the trash. I've seen this more times than I can count and in most cases it hasn't been appropriate for me to rescue it. I look longingly at the poor thing and then walk away.
It's just so wrong, for so many reasons. It's wasteful, it's a missed opportunity and it just seems creepy to put something like this in the trash, especially if you are a conscientious recycler, as I am.
Here's my suggestion: If you're hosting Thanksgiving but don't want the carcass, ask your guests. Surely someone will be thrilled to take it home. On the off chance that no one wants it, refrigerate it and call the best cook you know, who will likely welcome it with great enthusiasm. I certainly would.
Transforming a turkey carcass into delicious stock for soup, risotto, gumbo, curry and other stews is really easy and is best done during clean-up after dinner, so you don't have to make room for it in the refrigerator. Simply strip off the biggest pieces of meat, put the carcass and any pan or plate drippings, including little pieces of turkey, into a large pot, cover it with cold water and set the pot over medium heat. Add the neck and giblets if you have them. If you have a couple of bay leaves, toss them in, too, along with a stalk of celery, a small carrot and a quartered onion. If you don't want to bother with these ingredients, don't. The stock will still be delicious. (Be sure to wrap the turkey meat and refrigerate it right away.)
As foam rises to the surface of the water, use a broad spoon to remove it and the moment the water begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low. Let the stock simmer very gently for several hours or even overnight, if you have the type of stove that is safe to leave on. The stock is done when the carcass has totally collapsed on itself into separate pieces of bone. It is best not to stir the stock as it cooks.
Let the stock cool and then pour it through a large strainer set over a deep bowl or pot. Refrigerate the stock for several hours and then remove and discard the layer of fat that will have congealed on the top.
At this point, the stock is ready to be used or to be frozen. I freeze stock in 2-cup and 4-cup batches.
If you have a large slow-cooker, you can use it to make the stock, if the carcass will fit. Simply add the carcass and whatever additional ingredients you want, cover with water, set on low, cover and cook for 12 hours. Few things are simpler.
For recipes that call for turkey stock from the Seasonal Pantry archives, visit "Eat This Now" at pantry.blogs.pressdemocrat.com, where you'll find links to my favorite turkey-barley soup, turkey risotto and other yummy seasonal dishes. I've also posted several of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes, including cranberry salsa, chestnut risotto, sauteed Brussels sprout leaves and, yes, spaghetti carbonara, at "Eat This Now," just in case you need last minute inspiration.
For today's recipe, I'm returning to an old New Orleans-inspired favorite that I've revised to make even more traditional than it was originally. It might seem counter-intuitive, especially in California, to use garlic powder, onion powder and ground pepper but these ingredients are necessary for authentic flavor. You can certainly use their fresh counterparts and have great results, so don't rush out to the store if you don't keep these items on hand.
Turkey Gumbo
Makes 6 to 8 servings
8 cups turkey stock
½ cup duck fat, lard, peanut oil or clarified butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 yellow onion, cut into small dice
1 green bell pepper, cut into small dice
4 large celery ribs, cut into small dice
2 tablespoons file powder (ground dried sassafras, also known as gumbo file)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder or ground cayenne
1 pound andouille, kielbasa or other smoked sausage, cut into medium dice
6 to 8 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces okra, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds, optional
4 cups leftover turkey, preferably dark meat, cut into medium dice
6½ to 7 cups steamed white rice (from 2 cups raw rice), hot
— Fresh sage leaves and minced fresh sage, for garnish, optional
— Tabasco Sauce or Crystal hot sauce
Put the turkey stock in a large pot, set it over medium heat, bring it to a boil and cook until it is reduced to just four cups. Set aside.
Put the fat, butter or oil in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. When it just begins to smoke, use a long-handled whisk to stir the flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time, into the hot oil. Stir constantly as the flour begins to color. (If black specks appear, the flour has burned; discard the mixture and begin again.)
When the mixture is a dark reddish-brown, remove it from the heat and immediately use a wooden spoon to stir in the onion, green pepper and celery, holding your head back and protecting your stirring arm so that the cloud of hot steam that rises does not burn you. Continue to stir as the roux cools and ceases to darken, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the file powder, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the onion powder, the garlic powder, the black and white pepper and the chipotle powder or cayenne.
Return the stock to the heat and bring it to a boil. Add the roux, a large spoonful at a time, whisking after each addition. Add the sausage and garlic, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the gumbo simmers, fry the okra, if using, in a heavy pan set over medium heat until it releases its liquid and that liquid evaporates. Remove from the heat.
Add the turkey and the sauteed okra to the stock and simmer 20 minutes more. Taste and correct for salt and pepper. The gumbo is best after it has rested for a day so, if you can, let it cool and refrigerate it, covered, overnight.
Remove the gumbo from the refrigerator and transfer it to a large, heavy-bottomed pot and heat through over medium heat; stir frequently so that the gumbo does not burn. When it is heated through, taste and correct for salt.
To serve, ladle the gumbo into individual soup plates and top each portion with a generous scoop of rice. Garnish with sage leaves and minced sage, if using, and serve, with hot sauce alongside.

Some of you know somew of my story ,some don't!Anyway it started when I was about 15 with terrible headaches!!!
This is to be quick so I can post now!
Anyway its about 30 years latter and I also have other reaaly bad pain issues ,
will continue this in a bit ,I don't want to lose all this
anyway for more than a month I have a headache everyday!At first I just kept taking headache meds,
Now Rebound...do you know?????77grace
I'm at the point where i think I just have to tough it out,UHG!!!!
I know it's bad if I can't even go to the hair dressor and get my grey roots colored and all thatr stuff!
Help,talk to me!
I have forgotten- have you tried the Botox treatment for the headaches?
Yeah, you really did get nailed with a horrible genetic disorder.
You have my email. If you want to chat on Facebook, you can look me up using my email. We can then chat or Skype in real time.
Oh yes, my email will show my profile. Beth is my middle name, so if you see the same middle and last name, it is I.
So... I got insurance approval today for the SCS change. I am so happy (but still cannot sleep)
The neurosurgeon's office is going to ring me up tomorrow with an OR date. I am psyched!
Rebound headaches have now become one of the most common causes of headaches. Surprisingly, rebound headaches can occur from not just the frequent use of pain killers and common prescription headache medications but also from over the counter analgesics like acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Therefore, it makes sense that you would consider rebound headaches as a possible factor.
Stopping or weaning off of whatever medication or medications that may be contributing to the rebound headaches is usually what is recommended to break the cycle. As this can lead to a temporary increase in headaches before they start to get better, this can often be a challenging process to go through, but may provide long-term improvements in the headaches. Before making any medication changes, it would be a good idea to talk to your doctors about this and work out a plan that seems like the best fit for your situation.
I also have tension and migrain headaches. Do you take any other meds for your headaches other than the imitrex? I know about rebound headaches like the Dr. talked about here. I just wanted to know if you have ever taken fioricet or fioricet w/codeine? I take the one w/codeine and it works very well for me along with phenergan for the nausea and then of course I have sumatriptan. My pain management dr. prescribes methadone and valium and another muscle relaxant. I have real problems with my neck and jaw also.
I hope that you get to feeling better soon. I sure understand how these headaches can really mess up our lives and plans that we make.
Good Luck
Please talk to your doctor, maybe you can consider just changing drugs??? I would not even guess, just tell him everything.
Take care, Annette
My doctor studied the times of day that I took the drugs and the time of day the headaches started. He came to the conclusion that they were not rebound headaches, I was not having a headache every day though, like you are.
I followed the studies back then and got on a protocol that works for me, using a couple of good old generic, cheap drugs for most of my headaches and using whatever Triptan the insurance covers only for headaches that wake me up from a dead sleep. I have not needed those for many years. The generic ones work fine most of the time. Since I am not working anymore, I can put up with occasional sedation.
Please, talk to your doctor!!!
Take care, Annette
Hugs, Annette
I know you're looking for a response from the Dr., which I am not. However, I was just wondering-I guess you've had an MRI? Did it not show anything?
With that in mind, continued headaches after a motor vehicle accident can be related to multiple factors like muscle spasms in the neck, postural changes in the neck's curvature, inflammation around the joints that help support the head and neck, and closed head injuries to name a few. It may help to approach the problem as one where your whole body has been through a significant injury as opposed to just your neck. For example, the military has experimented with using acupuncture on the front lines after high impact injuries. When pain problems are that challenging, I think taking a whole person approach, including addressing both the physical and emotional effects of the injury work the best.
well, I just wanted to thank you for joining in on my question and it helps knowing someone out really does underestand!!
Thankfully I did get a few days free from headache I think 3 days with no headaches meds,but ,today got really bad,they are really weird!I think more like tension even though imatrex helps! So I did use one oif the sprays and it has helped enough that I can get up and make Dinner ,I am so thankfull for that!
I don't work and just try to do what I can here so if I can make supper it matters to me !!!
Love to all 77grace

I have made this tonight for dinner for family and friends. I cooked the spuds on the cook top as the 1st part of this recipe. All the other cooking I did in the microwave. Faster, easier and less time involved. This tasted great. Will make this often. Thank you Ashley for what will become a favourate. Spuds don't need to be boring, just really tasty like this recipe.
I love to make this. It's so simple
Chef Mickey (aka Mickey)
Yum! Not only is this cheap to make, it's equally easy to throw together and surprisingly filling too. Although fine as is, I do have one suggestion for improvement. Instead of slicing your cabbage, I suggest you chop it. Both my hubs and I agree that chopped or finely shredded cabbage (i.e. the pre-packaged stuff) would be a better choice for this dish. It would cook quicker (as is, my cabbage was a *tad* crunchy - and I even cooked it longer than directed) and incorporate MUCH better with the potatoes. I guess this is a matter of preference, but it is a definite must for my hubs and I. And for the one reviewer who thought this was bland... Bah! The key is s&p and LOTS of it. :) It's a shame this only has three reviews. Hopefully others will follow suit and soon discover this wonderful gem and add their positive comments for others to see! Thanks for sharing your recipe, Ashley! :-)

Read Why One Individual Completed a "Walk for NORD"
NORD's development coordinator, recently received this letter from Nancie Etzel who completed a "Walk for NORD", a feat that was once thought unattainable. Here is what she wrote:
Dear Ms. Fields,
As promised, here is the "Why I Did This" letter. I completed my "Walk for NORD" on January 30, 2013. It was a windy 46-degree day; the sun was shining when I took to the track at South Belton Middle School at 10:00 a.m. I managed 1600 meters, mathematically speaking, one mile to you and me.
Why did I choose this feat? Well, it stems from my want to achieve a goal that many people, mostly in the medical field, thought impossible. Born with Arthrogryposis and at age 17 diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos, I overcame many obstacles. I attended a high school with 3,000 other students, three with any type of visible disABILITIES. I walked with no assistive devices, but fell down if you blew too hard my way. I attended college and attained a Bachelor's in Psychology. After a short stint as a secretary for a busy medical office, I decided I wanted to use all of my abilities so I went back to school. I was awarded a dual teaching certificate in Art and Special Education. While teaching in the late '90's I was knocked down by a mentally disABLED student, 4 days later I could not pick up a book, within 6 months I needed a manual wheelchair, followed by a reclining power wheelchair. I lost the ability to walk, read, write, drive, and to take care of myself. About 6 months later, I had to sell my house, my pickup truck and move in with my parents. I had seen multiple doctors with no real diagnosis, until a nationally recognized neurologist pronounced I most likely had progressive Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS).
At the time of the ALS diagnosis, I was attending a program for people with Multiple Sclerosis, the medical community later discounted the idea I had MS, but it was somewhere for me to go for support including light physical therapy. Since I had no idea whether I would walk or not walk ever again, I decided to try to regain some of my strength. Due to sheer determination, a year and some days later, I moved out of my parent's home. Later, with some adaptive equipment, I resumed driving and began to volunteer as a disABILITY advocate.
In 2006, my parents moved to Michigan to be nearer to their grandchildren. In 2007, I finally had it with Maryland's winter weather, so I moved to Texas. I was able to maintain my house, volunteer and care for myself, however I knew I could be doing better, not only financially, but physically as well. In January 2012, I received a coupon to join the local gym. I had rewired my brain in terms of money and eating, why not exercising?
I called and inquired about whether the personnel had ever trained people with disABILITIES, although the young man replied he had not, he was eager and willing to learn and help in any way possible. I started going to the gym the first week of February 2012 and haven't looked back. I began walking on the treadmill at 0.6 miles an hour and could only manage 15 minutes. Today, I am walking at 1.7 miles an hour and I am able to walk for 25 minutes. I am also working on my upper body strength and my functioning is 100% better then it has been in years! To this day, my trainer, Tyler Burke, has continually supported me and urged me to work hard each and every time.
So I did the "Walk for NORD" to prove to myself I could accomplish a goal once thought unattainable. I did it to let people know when someone is disABLED; it means the person has it within himself or herself to triumph over adversities, be they large or small.
Thank you to NORD for all the organization does for those of us, who seemingly do not have a voice, but we do, we must choose to use it for our today and our future.

Without a dissenting vote, the U.S. Senate voted Wednesday to confirm Hinton native Sylvia Mathews Burwell as director of the Office of Budget and Management for the Obama administration.
Two administrations earlier, she was deputy chief of staff under former President Bill Clinton and also served as chief of staff to former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin.
"As Congress works to put our country on course for a strong, economic future, I am so pleased that Sylvia Mathews Burwell will have a prominent seat at the table as director of OMB, helping to steer our budget and economic policy in the right direction," Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said.
The vote was 96-0 following her appointment in early March by President Barack Obama.
"Sylvia's abundant knowledge and budget experience make her the right person to take on our country's fiscal challenges," said Rockefeller, who introduced Burwell at her nomination hearing before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Rockefeller said the overwhelming bipartisan support proves that she is capable of overseeing the nation's spending.
"In addition to her impressive experience, she is humble — sticking to her West Virginia roots — and dedicated to helping those in need," he said.
"I know she will exceed expectations in her new position."
A graduate of Harvard and Oxford, and a Rhodes Scholar, she recently served as president of the Wal-Mart Foundation. Before that, the daughter of retired optometrist Williams Matthews and former Hinton Mayor Cleo Mathews anchored the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Global Development Program.
Cleo Mathews said, "My husband Bill and I have always been incredibly proud of both of our daughters and their commitment to public service. Sylvia's unanimous confirmation today as director of OMB is a great honor, and she has an unparalleled opportunity to serve a key role in the continued fiscal recovery of our nation.
"As first-generation Greek immigrants, we always emphasized the value of hard work and the importance of family, both of which Sylvia took to heart. Her family, lifelong friends and our close community of Hinton, West Virginia, have provided her with the strength and moral grounding to serve our country ably and honorably. All will continue to be sources of support and key factors in her success in this position of great responsibility."
Political interest was inspired at a young age.
As an elementary school student, she helped campaign for the father of her best friend in his quest for a seat on the Summers County Commission.
And she once had an interest in Rockefeller's political future, campaigning, at age 11, as a volunteer in his first bid for the governorship of West Virginia.

Editor's note: The following column from the Best of West collection was originally published in the Port Arthur News on Feb. 24, 1989.
Mike Olliver!
If you're a long time Lamar University basketball fan, the name often flashes through the mind in this, the era of the three-point basket. It was certainly on my mind Tuesday night, after watching the Cardinals' David Jones set a school record with six three pointers.
Olliver, Lamar's all-time career scoring leader, was the greatest long-distance shooter these eyes have ever seen. Unfortunately for Olliver, and for Lamar, his eligibility ended in 1981, which was six seasons before the NCAA decided a shot over 19 feet, 9 inches was worth an extra point.
Even without the bonus basket, Olliver finished with 2,518 career points. The total, at that time, made him the 15th most prolific scorer in NCAA history.
The native of Mt. Olive, N.C., averaged 20.6 points for his four years at Lamar, and scored at a 22.3 clip as a senior. Despite taking a high percentage of shots from beyond 20 feet, Olliver was a 48.7 percent career shooter, and hit 51.2 his final season.
So how valuable would Mike Olliver be today? How high is up?
"I think he'd lead the nation in scoring," says Alvin Brooks, Lamar's point guard Olliver's junior and senior years. "I have not seen a player to this day who can shoot it like Mike. Kids being recruited to shoot 3s aren't even in his league."
"I don't like to compare players," says Billy Tubbs, who coached Olliver for three years before going to Oklahoma. "But, without putting anybody down, I can honestly say Mike had the greatest range of any player I've ever coached. There were no bad shots for Mike."
Mike Olliver, for those who didn't have the privilege to watch him bury long-range jumpers, was pure poetry in motion. He was the kind of player even a sportswriter would pay to watch. They called him "Silk" for good reason.
"Mike was one of the most amazing basketball players I've ever seen," says Houston's Pat Foster, who coached him as a senior. "It's against a coach's nature to be comfortable with a guy shooting the ball from 25 feet. But that's the way it was with him. No telling how many points he'd score in today's game."
Olliver was amazing for more than his ability to shoot. He was barely six feet tall and had only average quickness, shortcomings which kept him out of the NBA. Yet nobody on the collegiate level could stop him.
Louisville's Denny Crum, for instance, tried virtually everybody on his team one night in the Alaska Shootout. Olliver finished with 35 points on 17 of 25. Crum was last heard muttering that he was putting the ball up from so far out the shots weren't good ones to take.
Olliver's most dazzling shooting performance, because of all the ramifications, probably came in Lamar's 1980 NCAA victory over 17th-ranked Weber State on the Wildcats home floor. He sank 17 of 26 from the field and scored 37 points, as Lamar held on for an 87-86 victory.
According to the official play-by-play sheet, six of Olliver's 17 field goals were beyond the distance of today's three-point line. Most of them were well beyond. Here's how they looked on the official play-by-play sheet.
Olliver 24 feet right corner, Olliver 22 top of lane, Olliver 25 top of key, Olliver 24 left angle, Olliver 22 left corner, Olliver 30 right angle. Four others were listed in the 16-18 foot range.
"That's one of two games that immediately come to mind when I think of Mike," says Brooks, an assistant coach for Foster in Houston. "What I remember is seeing Mike standing in front of the Weber State coach, about 35 feet from the basket, and the coach telling his man to let Mike shoot, that he couldn't hit it from that far.
"Mike went up, swished a jumper, then looked over at the coach and grinned. The same kind of thing happened when we were playing Pittsburgh, the next year in the Missouri tournament.
"Mike hit his first shot from about 30 feet. The Pittsburgh coach hollered to let him keep shooting from there, that they were bad shots. Mike was taking a position right in front of their bench. After he made about five in a row the coach decided they better come out on him."
Reviews of play-by-play sheets that could be found show two games where Olliver would have had eight three-point goals. One was during his school-record shattering 50-point game against Portland State as a junior, the other when he fired in 35 against Louisiana Tech in the championship game of the first ever Southland Conference post-season tournament.
The Portland State play-by-play credits him with one 20 footer, four from 25, one from 30, one from 35 and one from 50. Tubbs swears the 50 footer, which came at the final buzzer, was not a heave but just a conventional Olliver jumper.
"I've got to believe there were several games when Mike would have had more than eight from three-point distance," Brooks says. "I used to look at the stat sheets after the game and laugh at the distances they put down for Mike's shots. Shots they were calling 18 and 20 were more like 25. Those stat guys just weren't used to a player shooting from so far out."
Had the three-point line been in force when Olliver played at Lamar, Tubbs says a conservative guess is that he'd have averaged 3 to 4 a game. The way he sees it, Olliver would average close to 25 points in today's game.
"I'll tell you this," Tubbs said. "He'd sure look good in an Oklahoma uniform. Right now."
Not nearly as good as he'd look in a Lamar uniform.

Focus on the family at Sydenham
1:00pm Thursday 6th September 2012 in Bridgwater Area News
FAMILIES in Sydenham were the first to take part in a scheme to improve community areas across Sedgemoor.
People had the opportunity to hear about the Sydenham Neighbourhood Plan from Homes in Sedgemoor staff and other partners through the 'Out and About' scheme.
The plan aims to create new jobs and training opportunities, support families with money problems and provide two new allotment projects on the estate.
Dawn Lang, chief executive at Homes in Sedgemoor, said: "This was a fantastic opportunity to share our plans for Sydenham and to encourage residents to come forward and be part of our focus on the community."
The event saw people teaming up for litter picking, clearing gardens, and planting bulbs to brighten up the area next spring.
A number of skips were also made available for residents to use free of charge, and many people embraced the opportunity to get rid of unwanted bulky items.
A vacant shop on Parkway was used for the day and offered free face painting and mural painting for children.
The search is on for Community Champions in Sydenham – for more information call 0800 585 360.

One surprising difference between the United States and other countries educational system is in how we award scholarships. Many other countries award scholarships on an annual basis, meaning that students can apply for scholarships in all four years. Here in the United States we award scholarships upon admission to the university and have fewer opportunities for University merit and need based aid after students arrive on campus. Please take advantage of these opportunities to lower your personal and family financial burdens.

Energy: High
Sleep: Normal
The rest of the week went pretty much like that, with a couple of variations in the meals. Then on the morning of Day 5, I woke up to a surprise on my chin. One of the biggest, baddest, most evil looking pimples I have ever seen. Oh, the horror! And to top it off, I also had one of the WORST headaches I have ever known shy of a migraine.
After my medicine (that hot cup of survival tea), I called a raw foodie friend to inquire about the craziness that I had just encountered. She said, "Oh honey, you're just detoxing." Detoxing?! I couldn't believe it. I thought I was a pretty clean eater in general. I couldn't fathom that I had enough toxins in my body to warrant such a public display of truth on my face. And the monster headache wasn't lying either. I still don't know how the raw foodies feel about taking supplements or medications, but I reached for the ibuprofen bottle and didn't let go until two tablets had been swallowed.
Alright, I guess it's time for the whole explanation-for-raw-food-diet-failure part. Let's just say things spiraled downward at an accelerated rate after the sushi rolling class I attended on Day 6 ….
During the first half of the class, we learned a ton about the history of sushi: how it was actually a necessity before becoming a delicacy; all about the sushi revolution in the U.S. After some mouth-watering demonstrations by the master chef, we were asked to practice our rolling techniques by making our own rolls. Then we were supposed to sample our own rolls so we could judge them. In the end, the catalyst to my demise was nothing more or less than sushi rice.
With the gentle prodding of the master chef to "taste my creation," it was all over with one quick pinch. The chef then had us pair the sushi with our wine of choice. Oh boy. After two sips of that tasty red, the fish started to seem OK to sample because, well, it's raw too, right? Right ….
The next day I ate chicken. Cooked. Game completely over.
I must take my hat off to the raw foodies out there, but for me, lesson learned: I love my fire. I'll keep the juicing, salads, and smoothies up, but going completely raw doesn't look like it's in the cards for me anytime soon.
I understand how healthy and vibrant a lot of people who swear by the raw food diet must feel. Maybe some day when I have more time, creativity, and feel less intimidated to create amazing raw meals, I'll give it another whirl. Until then, I've got to roll.

Phoenix Staff Reports
OKLAHOMA CITY — Shan Bradley of Muskogee went out a winner to take fifth place in the Class 6A state tennis tournament at the Oklahoma City Tennis Center on Saturday.
Bradley, the son of MHS coach Rusty Bradley, defeated Jacob Santana of Edmond Memorial 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (10-8) in the No. 2 singles division match.
The elder Bradley was proud of his son's achievement.
"As a coach and a father, I was deeply impressed with Shan's performance," Rusty said. "He had just played a three-setter and lost the first set in that one before coming back to win. He just never gave up."
In earlier matches, the younger Bradley beat Choctaw's Bailey Betz 6-3, 6-1 and Oklahoma City Bishop McGuiness' Jay Fletcher 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. Bradley came into the tournament seeded eighth.
Meanwhile, Connor Finerty was trailing Bishop McGuiness' Riley Hale 6-4, 5-2 when he retired. Finerty, seeded third, beat Stillwater's Noah Smith 6-0, 6-0 and then beat Joseph Davenport of Edmond Santa Fe 6-3, 6-0 to advance to the fifth-place match in No. 1 singles.
The Muskogee duo of Stephen Crank and Ryan Pearce lost 6-3, 6-2 to Norman North's Josh Marrs and Matt Carter in the No. 1 doubles consolation quarterfinals.

It's like something out a horror movie…thousands of gray six-legged creatures pour out from under a leaf ready to devour. Meanwhile, deep inside the stem a fat, greasy sluggish creature eats the victim from the inside out. But this is no film, this is your garden. And these monsters are eating your squash.
Earlier this summer my squash plants were kicking out dozens of gorgeous zukes, patty-pans and yellow summer squash. Also a gorgeous albeit misplaced pumpkin plant was crawling over my front lawn, covered in blossoms and little baby pumpkins.
Meanwhile, a spaghetti -squash plant was climbing over my white picket fence, dripping with large ovoid fruits. Now the zucchini plants are turning brown, the tiny zukes are shriveling, the flowers dropping off. The pumpkin leaves are yellowed and the pumpkins themselves, once on their way to impressive jack-o-lantern size, are now stunted and shriveled while the spaghetti-squash vines have already dried up and blown away. Another scene from THE GARDEN OF HORROR? Sort of.
While I, their protector was otherwise engaged–the most hideous monsters were munching on my squash: the dreaded squash borer (caterpillar/moth) and the ubiquitous and rapidly-multiplying squash bug ('beetle').
But having identified the enemy is only half the battle–but how do you fight them?
The borer attack actually begins in late Spring, when a moth lays her eggs at the base of your squash plants. Each female lays about 200 eggs, but one at a time rather than in clusters, making the tiny eggs almost impossible to find. They hatch in a few weeks, and the evil little caterpillars that emerge quickly tunnel into the hollow plant stems where they feed, hidden from view for a month or so and then drop down into the soil to pupate. In our area, these new moths will then emerge as adults the following Spring.
One way to avoid the adult moth—which looks like a little red-bellied wasp—is to cover your squash plants with a floating cover which allow water, light and air through, but prevent bugs of all kinds. If you go this route, make sure you plant where squash didn't grow the previous year (or the moth may emerge inside the row covers—eeek!) and either grow self-pollinating varieties or lift the covers and pollinate the flowers yourself with a little paintbrush as bees won't be able to get through. In our area, you can remove the covers entirely by the Fourth of July; all the egg-laying action will already be over.
Another prevention is to grow your squash out in the open and use vigilance to get the eggs. You may not be able to see them, but spraying the vine weekly with insecticidal soap (for a homemade recipe click here) will smother them nonetheless. Once the season is underway, carefully inspect each vine once a week; don't wait for wilting! If you see a hole near the soil line and that distinctive greenish bug poop that the borers push back out of their comfy new home, slit the vine vertically and find the caterpillar inside. Once you have destroyed the enemy you should then cover the damaged vine with compost-rich soil.
If this doesn't work, in our area you can replant with new squash plants any time after mid-July; it will be too late for the new borers to do their evil work.
The problem with squash bugs is by the time you notice them often they are feeding on your squash in huge multitudes, so again, vigilance is key. Give your squash plants a regular 'check-up' early in the season; if you notice patches of tiny red bumps these are the eggs so remove the infected leaves and bag them. If you miss out on that stage you may notice masses of tiny black squirmers or their slightly older little white cousins. At this stage it is still possible to kill off the li'l buggers with repeated sprays of insecticidal soap. But be careful to spray only in the cool of morning or early evening and not during the heat of the day or you will damage the delicate squash foliage. If in doubt, always 'test' an area of the foliage before spraying. I find that the gray-brown mature squash bugs are not so readily dispatched with soap but if you kill off enough of the young ones the population will soon be diminished.
There is no need to buy insecticidal soaps as it is easy to make your own. For a sure-fire recipe please click here. I hope this helps you keep your squash plants healthy and your squash growing--it'll be up to you to deal with that overlooked zucchini that is now the size of a baseball bat!

Original recipe yields 4 servings
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, snow peas, water chestnuts, and bok choy; season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the wok and wipe the wok clean.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the wok. Stir in the garlic and ginger; cook a few seconds until the garlic begins to turn golden brown. Stir in the chicken and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the wine, sugar, and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and stir into the simmering sauce. Once the sauce returns to a simmer, stir until thick and clear, about 30 seconds. Return the vegetables to the wok and toss until hot and coated with the sauce.

This turned out verrrry good, I was scared to be the first to try it but I am glad that I did. My grandma always orders moo goo gai pan when we eat out at chinese, so I wanted to try this recipe out and hopefully surprise her one day! I think she will be happily surprised with this one! I did change the veggies up a little bit to my liking and how it's served at our local chinese place. I added a head of broccoli and a can of stir fry corn. I left out the bok choy and used bamboo shoots in place of the water chestnuts. I used frozen peas and they worked just fine. For the sauce I did use powdered ginger and a little more than 1/2 cup of chicken broth. I had some cooking white wine that I've had forever but it didn't seem to ruin anything. I added about 1 tbls of soy sauce just because, not really sure why. Me and my mom both enjoyed this, will make again. Thanks for the great recipe.
Delicious! I used chicken tenderloins, making it really easy to slice. My grocer was out of snow peas, so I used sugar snap peas instead. Everything else stayed exactly according to recipe, although I doubled it. Such an easy, healthy, and good recipe! Next time I think I will add something to give it some heat like red pepper flakes.
Eh, this was all right. For all the work I did, it would've been easier to just call the Chinese food place. The taste was bland, something is missing, I'm not sure what. I had to triple the sauce and after it was plated added some soy sauce, which made it taste better. The plus to this recipe is that you can use whatever veggies you want. I added carrots, broccoli, and bamboo, but didn't use bok choy (didn't have any at the store). Another plus, it is a lot healthier then the take out!

"Failed States" is the new one from the cleverly-monikered Propagandhi and it's on Epitaph Records. The soundtrack for the bumper sticker: "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention," these in-your-face politically driven punkers also lay to rest the notion that Canadians are mellow. Despite the message - scream-o always sucks - it's like your favorite fantasy rock star naked, feeding you pizza while they scalp you with a rusty knife. They rail against capitalism, the new feudalism, that awful oligarchy - those shrugging whatever dudes of the One Percent, not to mention ecocide, racism and animal exploitation. Or in other words, it's a solid message in an uncomfortable package - oh, and once again, extra clever name. Any person who kills a tiger or a rhino for profit or buys said animal parts should have his or her entire village or city carpet bombed into the past tense. It would be a hit on YouTube.

Hi guys, I took your advice and purchased the CSiA6 to compliment my RTi A9's. I got a great deal off of Ebay. There are absolutely no high frequencies coming from the tweeter. I noticed that the speaker has 5-way binding posts. The brass jumpers are intact and I have the speaker cable going to top terminals. I have no idea why the tweeter is not working.:mad: The speaker looks brand new, the woofers and tweeter itself look brand new. (When I had my CS2 hooked up everything was fine!!)
I unscrewed the speaker cable hook-up plate on the back and noticed that the top terminals are for the woofers and the bottom is for the tweeter. While my Denon AVR3806 was on, (brass jumpers removed) I switched back and forth from top to bottom terminals. I only got sound from the top which is for the woofers. No sound at all from the bottom. Fellow polkster's what do you think is wrong? Blown tweeter, lose connection to the tweeter? I tried to removed the tweeter to see if it was just a lose connection but I couldn't remove the screws with basic alan wrenches/L wrenches. Any ideas on what type of tool to use to remove the screws so I can see what is going on? Any help/ suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Made in Italy and part of the Milano Luxe Collection.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or 18K gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.

IRVING -- The Irving school board has a polarizing issue on its hands. A school board member is proposing that staff with concealed carry permits be allowed to keep guns inside their cars.
"There was no consensus," said Irving ISD Superintendent Dana Bedden. "Some have strong feelings not to change the policy, and some are for the policy."
Bedden said Irving ISD schools are gun-free zones. Current policy expressly forbids guns on campus, and staff violating this policy are subject to disciplinary action.
"I can deal with that, but I'd like to see extra officers more than anything, though," said parent Jack Shastid.
"I don't see it as a problem, as long they know how to use it," said another parent, Randy Heady.
The school board will begin discussion on the proposal on Monday at a noon meeting. San Juan Gonzalez graduates in 2013, and said the policy will make campus more dangerous.
"Kids can break into teacher's cars and stuff like that," Gonzalez said.
Bedden said there's a lot to consider, and that it won't be an easy decision.
"The question to myself, and even when I consult the police department is, how does this help?" Bedden said. "What are we trying to accomplish with it?"
Another parent is all for concealed-carry, but said this policy isn't effective.
"The person who is going to carry out that act won't be concerned about a teacher running half-a-mile to their car and back," Curtiss Hantelmann said.
The district's attorneys are currently looking into any potential liability issues with this policy.

A great beer, just needs to be a little thicker/richer. Flavors are awesome ... the bourbon notes really stand out, both in taste and smell. It pours beautifully ... nice color and wonderfully formed head. It just seems like it should be stronger/starker.

Reviewed from notes. Poured from bomber into a Cigar City snifter.
A: Pours a very dark brown, essentially opaque, with a half finger of tan head and fairly low visible carbonation.
S: Bourbon, oak, vanilla and chocolate, with hints of dark fruit and leather.
T: Bourbon, chocolate, deep roasted malts, vanilla, oak, and a bit of coffee flavors. Finishes with barrel dryness countered by chocolate malt sweetness.
M: Mouthfeel is perhaps a bit light for style, but the impression is even thinner since the flavor profile (especially the barrel-aging) conjures expectations of a big Imperial Stout. Very well-carbonated, and the alcohol presence is restrained.
O: A perfectly acceptable beer, especially given the availability and reasonable price range. However, certainly fails when held to the high standards of other barrel-aged stouts out there. Worth a try for sure, and a good option if you're at a bar with limited choices on tap. Nothing I'd go far out of my way for, however.

Pours black color with a creamy 2 finger dark tan head that had a lot of popping bubbles, faded slowly and left good foamy lacing coating the sides, rings as it went down and a swampy layer on top.
Smells of bourbon, roasted grains, burnt coffee, chocolate and caramel or toffee; the bourbon and charred notes come through the strongest and the overall aroma is a lot lighter than I expected for a stout aged in Wild Turkey barrels. I'm not saying it smells bad, but just weaker than I anticipated.
Tastes likes it smells, with Wild Turkey/bourbon, cocoa powder, roasted grains, dark chocolate, burnt coffee, caramel, charred wood or oaky notes from the barrel aging, grassy herbal notes, and then some more Wild Turkey; the Wild Turkey seems to get stronger in aroma and taste as the beer warms, but it works well with the stout and the malt backbone and does not come off like a shot. The sweetness comes out more after sitting a while and warming, with brown sugar, vanilla, peat moss and chocolate licorice or anise trailing the bourbon and oaky notes; the alcohol is never menacing and always subtle and soft, which is a far cry from a shot of the dirty bird, but I like the way this works with the stout/grains/oats.
Mouthfeel is thin and almost too watery for a stout and much lighter than expected, but the taste is good and the carbonation is like a Guinness and almost flat, with enough flavor to carry it through to a bourbon tasting finish that has sweet vanilla and cocoa notes but then trails off grainy and kind of dry.
This beer is deceptive in many ways as it looks like it's going to be this bad ass stout with a Wild Turkey kick, but then it hits you like a pillow, with soft complex flavors that come through a very light body and highlight the bourbon complexities without being obnoxiously in your face and overpowering. My friend Chris told me this was a great beer and he suggested that I try it, and I must say that I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was much easier to drink than I expected and the low ABV to me added to the overall experience and made this a very solid brew.

Oklahoma officials were determined to execute two men convicted of murders in the late 1990s, so determined that they were willing to kill both men in one evening.
But the double billing in the death chamber was called off Tuesday after the first execution was botched. A drug cocktail, the contents of which the state refused to divulge and the state Supreme Court meekly allowed to remain secret, didnt work properly because of what state officials called a vein failure.
The inmate, Clayton Lockett, 38, struggled after the injection, causing a doctor to call off the execution, but Lockett was pronounced dead of a heart attack 45 minutes after the execution began. At one point before officials lowered the blinds in the death chamber, Lockett writhed, appeared to try to sit up on his gurney and mumbled words witnesses couldnt understand.
The dying inmates words were unintelligible, but his manner of death was a clear and powerful rebuttal to those who insist that state-administered execution is a form of justice. It is not justice. It is vengeance. It is a sentence arbitrarily imposed and, as many convictions reversed by DNA evidence have shown, sometimes imposed on innocent people.
The United States is deeply ambivalent about this absolute penalty. Eighteen states have banned capital punishment, six of them since 2007. Others, including North Carolina, have suspended executions while legal challenges work their way through the courts. North Carolinas last execution was in 2006.
Indeed, it was this very queasiness about the states killing people that contributed to the spectacle in Oklahoma. Rather than hang people at noon outside the courthouse, states carry out executions at night using a lethal injection that, in theory, ends a life without cruelty. But companies that make the drugs are refusing to provide them for executions. So states are trying secret drug combinations that turn the already immoral act of execution into a fatal human experiment as well.
Oklahoma officials said they were carrying out justice Tuesday night. What they did looked like torture. Its time for capital punishment to meet its own demise.

CUMBERLAND — The coldest temperatures of the winter season descended upon the tri-state region Monday night, prompting delays in opening of the region's schools.
"Zero was the low this morning and right now it's a blistering 6 degrees," said Maryland State Police Sgt. Matt Jones of the McHenry barrack at about 11 a.m., Tuesday.
Occasional winds and a dusting of snow complicated travel conditions Monday night but the snow emergency plan for Interstate 68 in the county was lifted by the State Highway Adminstration before 10 a.m. on Tuesday.
The plan had been placed in effect at 8:30 p.m. on Monday in Garrett County.
About an inch of powdery snow fell in Frostburg by Tuesday morning where the temperature hovered at 5 degrees at mid-morning. The daytime high predicted by the National Weather Service was 12 degrees.
The extreme cold prompted the NWS to issue a wind chill advisory in effect until noon Wednesday.
Wind chill readings of 5 to 15 degrees below zero were predicted at higher elevations. Temperatures were expected to range from 5 to 20 degrees and winds were anticipated to gust up to 35 miles per hour.
"A wind chill advisory means that very cold air and strong winds will combine to generate low wind chills. This will result in frost bite and hypothermia if precautions are not taken. If you must venture outdoors, make sure you wear a hat and gloves," read the advisory issued by the NWS at 3:29 a.m. on Tuesday.
Tim Thomas, NWS observer in Cumberland, said the bone-chilling temperatures will be hanging around for a while.
"This doesn't look like a great week unless you are a fan of the cold. We came from 60 degrees last week to 11 degrees this morning," he said early Tuesday afternoon.
Thomas said that the last week of January and the first week of February typically mark the worst weeks of winter weather for our region.
"We walked through winter last year, but now we are getting a taste of what winter is supposed to be. It's fairly normal for this time of year," said Thomas.
Thomas said temperatures could rise into the 20s by Friday when snow, freezing rain and/or sleet were expected.
Accuweather reports that a combination of lingering arctic air and two merging storms has the potential to spread a large swath of snow, wintry mix and slippery travel from the Midwest to the East at the end of the week.
Essentially, the area between I-64 to I-80 in the Midwest to the central Appalachians has the potential for a significant snowfall and the associated travel delays.
Thomas urged anyone venturing outdoors to dress in layers of clothing and wear hats and gloves.
Travelers were being urged to have winter safety kits with them to cope with cold temperatures in the event of a vehicle breakdown. The kit should include food and water, jumper cables, any prescribed medications, road flares and blankets.
Thomas said temperatures could be in the low 40s next Monday, according to the extended NWS forecast.

The Humungus is a great fly pattern with all of the ingredients to make a great lure for reservoirs. A Chainbead head to give a dipping motion, a brightly coloured body with a palmered hackle to give it extra movement, and a marabou tail with some tinsel through it. With these ingredients it is no wonder that the Humungus accounts for lots of fish on reservoirs.
