PORTLAND -- An Oregon State Police detective was suspended after he was charged with patronizing a prostitute while he was on duty, officials said.
On August 6, a 911 caller reported a man and woman having sex in some bushes off of Southeast Johnson Creek Boulevard near Southeast 77th Court, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
The caller told KGW she runs a day care nearby and she and her children saw what happened.
"My 16-year-old is standing next to me and we're just watching them, seeing what they're doing over by the treehouse," she said. "And my son's like, 'He just took his pants off,' and I'm like, 'No.'"
Deputies at the scene discovered the man involved was 50-year-old detective Richard Narvaez, a 23-year OSP veteran, said OSP Lt. Gregg Hastings.
Narvaez was on duty at the time but was not in uniform, Hastings said.
Narvaez was cited by the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office for patronizing a prostitute and public indecency. He was put on suspended leave without pay during the investigation.
"This is troubling news when we learn that one of our employees is alleged to commit any crime," OSP Superintendent Richard Evans said Wednesday. "This obviously is a rare incident and should in no way reflect on our other employees who do things right and don't step outside of our laws and rules of ethics."
The woman he was with, 32-year-old Tiffany Smith, was arrested on the same charges, plus an outstanding prostitution warrant.
Note: Because Narvaez was only charged with misdemeanors, and because ORS 181.854 prohibits the disclosure of a photograph of a public safety employee by the employer without the employee's written consent, a mug shot was not available.

The Secret Circle Episode 101
Written By: Andrew Miller
Directed By: Liz Friedlander
Original Airdate: 15 September 2011
In This Episode...
After her mother dies in a mysterious house fire, Cassie Blake moves in with her grandmother in a small seaside town in Washington. There is all the typical new-kid-in-town drama: kids staring and whispering at her; mean girls trying to prove their alpha status; learning which cute boys are "safe" to chase.
There is no beating around the bush. Cassie may not know it, but we know that all the "cool kids" in town are into witchcraft. To test her, alpha female Faye traps Cassie in her car and makes it smoke. It lights on fire, but Faye promises that wasn't her doing - Cassie got the fire going. After school the next day, level-headed Diana takes Cassie to a decrepit abandoned house. There she is introduced to the rest of the circle: Faye; Faye's lackey Melissa; Diana's boyfriend Adam; and Nick, Cassie's next door neighbor. They tell her what her mom never did: they are witches. They come from a long line of witches. And the kids need Cassie to complete their circle so their spells can have full power. Cassie, naturally, doesn't buy it - until Adam chases her outside and does some floating dewdrop magic with her.
Cassie is a little freaked. Her father died shortly after she was born, and her mother never mentioned witchcraft to her. Sixteen years ago, her mom, and the parents of all the circle members had a circle of their own. There was a horrible accident; people died. Since then, the surviving witches buried their powers and banned witchcraft from the town. All except Charlie, Diana's dad, who is the one who killed Cassie's mom, Amelia. Faye's mom, Dawn, was in on Amelia's demise in order to bring Cassie here. They have some nefarious plot to utilize her powers for their own bidding.
As Cassie tucks herself in to bed, she hears a scratching coming from the fireplace. Hidden inside the molding on the mantle is her mother's grimoire, with a note to Cassie. In it, she apologizes for this life that she tried to protect her from.
Dig It or Bury It?
Not as bad as I thought it would be; not as good as I hoped it to be. Look, it's a pilot. You can't expect too much from a pilot. But with Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec heading up the effort, I had hopes. I have now seen the pilot twice: once when I got the screener a few months ago, and tonight during its premiere. It did not get better on second viewing.
Things I liked: the show opened with a massive, fatal fire. The dark conspiracy that is hinted at.
Things I didn't like: making water droplets dance (or, as my husband called it, "gay Twilight shit"). The teen drama (when Adam does magic with Cassie, Diana equates it to cheating). The interchangeable, generic cast.
I promised that I would give The Secret Circle six episodes. The clock is ticking.
I Put a Spell on You
The magic this week was not impressive. I'm going to gloss over the dancing dewdrop crap. There was a decent storm. Faye decides to play with her newly enhanced powers and starts a storm on the dock. It quickly becomes out of control and nearly turns into a hurricane, complete with dangerous streaks of lightning. Cassie comes down and with a few whispers makes it all stop.
Season of the Witch
There is no violence tonight, and only one death: Amelia. But it was pretty decent. Charlie stands outside Amelia's house, lighting matches. With each match stroke, the fire inside flares up and gets stronger. He doesn't throw the matches; they burn out and drop to the ground.
It looks like Faye starts to get fierce next week. Bring it on.

Clyde Jack Moore and Sharon Malee (Zelt) Moore were originally born and raised in Fort Wayne, Ind. and graduated from rival high schools – Central and South Side. Not unlike Romeo and Juliet or Tony and Maria, their powerful love brought this Tiger and this Archer together when the Moores tied the knot Aug. 24, 1963, at Trinity English Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne.
Jack spent 36 years of dedicated service with International Harvester/Navistar. Sharon worked as a beautician and retired as a successful salon owner of Shear Madness. They raised two dashing sons, Dan and Dave. Dan and his wife, Jennifer, live in Tega Cay along with their son, Charlie, and twin daughters, Mallory and Emerson. Dave and his wife, Brenda, live in Shaker Heights, Ohio, along with their sons, Carson and Evan.
A celebration in honor of Jack and Sharon will be held over Labor Day weekend in Fort Mill.

"It is about jobs and the economy in this election but you'd never know that by looking at the actions of this President and his Administration. We have looming before us the implementation of the sequester, which not only will affect in real ways the ability to defend our country, but it will affect so many people in terms of their jobs in their communities across this country. And yet, this Administration has failed to respond to our repeated requests to come to the table to see if we can resolve this so that the sequester doesn't hit, but we can achieve the necessary cuts to the deficit.
"Again, as the Speaker said, it is almost unfathomable to imagine how it is that the President could be advocating for increased taxes when this economy and the small businesses are suffering so much. We have the latest in terms of the Senate action. The Senate Democrats are now claiming they're going to go and push this economy off the cliff, just so they can say that we're going to raise taxes. We in the House are of a different mindset.
"Now, my governor is coming up here today. Virginia is one of the top states in terms of the impact of the sequester. We are estimated to be losing over a hundred thousand jobs by the end of 2014. I look forward to working with our governor, Governor McDonnell, hearing about the impact of the sequester in Virginia, and taking that message to our Democratic senators and to this President to see if they will finally join us in acting.
"Here in the House, we are going to continue our focus on small business job creation, not only this week bringing forward the Sequestration Transparency Act that Chairman Ryan will talk about, but also next week going forward with the red tape reduction week, making sure that we impose a moratorium on regulations until this economy snaps back. Then, in the final week prior to the August district work period, we're going to be focusing on making sure that taxes don't go up on anybody and to ensure that we have a plan for tax reform so that we can make it easier for small business people and entrepreneurs to grow jobs."
Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA)
House GOP Stakeout

Canadiana Authorities contains only the authority records traditionally included in Canadiana, the national bibliography. These authority records are created by Library and Archives Canada's (LAC) cataloguing staff and are given authority control numbers. They include name, series title, uniform title and name/title records. Subject authority records are not included in this interface. Canadian Subject Headings are available in a separate interface:
To search Canadiana Authorities, click on Search in the column at the left.
Using the Search page is easy. Click on the arrow to the right of "All forms of name and/or title," and select one of the indexes in the drop-down list that appears: "Any Keyword," "All forms of name and/or title," "Preferred form of name and/or title," "Notes" and "Canadiana Authority Control Number."
If you select "All forms of name and/or title," the search will focus on the main headings, "See" and "See Also" reference fields and equivalence fields within authority records (MARC fields 1XX, 4XX, 5XX and 7XX).
References link related headings in the index. References enable you to find an author by a pseudonym and to find a government body that has changed its name. If you select the "All forms of name and/or title" index, then enter an acronym, the results will include headings that include that acronym, as well as headings for bodies also referred to by that acronym.
Example: Type CCRA and the results will include both CCRA Charities Directorate and Canada Customs and Revenue Agency.
Selecting "Preferred form of name and/or title" will focus the search on the main headings within authority records (MARC field 1XX).
Example: Type CCRA and the results will include CCRA Charities Directorate but not Canada Customs and Revenue Agency.
Selecting "Notes" will focus the search on the notes found in authority records (MARC fields 66X, 670).
Selecting "Canadiana Authority Control Number" will focus the search only on the control numbers found in MARC field 016. Authority control numbers may be entered either with, or without the hyphens.
Example: Type 1016-J-5705 or 1016J5705.
Once you have chosen an index to search, using the search box, simply type one or more keywords, then press "Enter" or click the "Submit" button.
Keywords can be entered in either upper or lower case in the entry box. Most terms do not need punctuation. Do not be afraid to use wildcard characters to get around possible spelling variations or typographical errors. Use a question mark (?) to replace a single character. Use an asterisk (*) to replace a string of characters.
Example: Type Wilfr?d, and you will get results with Wilfrid and Wilfred.
Example: Type patriot*, and you will get results with patriote, patriots, patriotism, patriotic, patriotique, patriotisme, etc.
If the search yields too many references, you can always narrow your search by using quotation marks.
Example: A search using "indian and northern affairs" will be more precise than a search using those words without quotation marks.
In response to your search, you will see a list of the most relevant results. These will appear on the Results page.
If you cannot find what you are looking for using keyword searching, you can use the browse function. If you would like to browse the "All forms of name and/or title" index, please register for additional services in AMICUS.
The Search Results show the items found by your search. The Canadiana number, the heading itself and the language of the heading can all be seen for each result. The results are in alphabetical order, based on the heading. Many bodies have been established with names in both official languages, for example, Government of Canada bodies and many private entities. In the result display for these authorities, you will see an abbreviation, [EQ]. If the heading is in English, this is a link to the equivalent record in French linked through the MARC 7XX field. If the heading is in French, this is a link to the equivalent record in English, linked through the corresponding 7XX field. For more information on Machine Readable Cataloguing (MARC) format, please see the MARC Display section, further down on this page. LAC policy on the language of authority records follows LACs bilingual cataloguing policy.
You can limit your search results by using the options shown on the right side of the Results screen. For example, you can limit the headings to those of federal/national bodies, provincial/state bodies or international bodies. You can start a new search from this page, by using the search box located above the list of results.
For more information on a heading, click on the heading itself, and its Full Display will appear.
In each record display, you will see the heading, the Canadiana number, "Seen From" references, "See Also" references, and equivalents if they exist. You will also see notes, the record status, the last date the record was changed and the date the record was entered on file.
References are two-way links. For example, from the English name you are referred to the French name and from the French name you are referred to the English name. The screen also displays details about the name, such as when the name was established, what the prior form of the name was, and references to related names. The references can be searched using the "All forms of name and/or title" index, and the notes can be searched by selecting the "Notes" index. When a corporate body changes its name, splits to form two or more other bodies, or merges with another body, two or more authority records are required. These are linked through "See Also" references (MARC field 5XX) on the record display. These are clickable and link to the related authority.
To return to the "Results," "Search" or "Search Help" pages, you can click on links in the upper right of this page.
To save the authority record, click on "Save" at the bottom left. For further information, see the Save section at the bottom of this page.
You can switch the display of the authority to the Machine Readable Cataloguing (MARC) format by clicking the "MARC Display" button at the bottom left.
The MARC Display screen contains the entire authority record, including MARC codes.
The Library of Congress website (www.loc.gov/marc/) provides detailed information about MARC. The LAC website provides the MARC 21 Concise Formats in French. For more information on LACs role in the development and distribution of this format, please see the MARC Standards pages on our site.

The Buffalo Bills had a bit more than 30 players show up today for a players-only workout at Sahlen's Sports Park in Elma.
The session was organized by Jon Corto, Fred Jackson, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Andra Davis and George Wilson, and the players will be working out together through Thursday. The session lasted about two hours. The players did some conditioning drills on the field and some footwork drills. The they broke up into two groups - big guys and little guys. One group hit the weight room while the other did more on-field conditioning. Then the two groups reversed roles. Most of the players did some walk-through-type plays at the end of the session.
The unofficial list of Bills in attendance included: quarterbacks Fitzpatrick, Levi Brown and Brian Brohm; running backs Jackson and Corey McIntyre; receivers Lee Evans, David Nelson, Naaman Roosevelt, Paul Hubbard and Felton Huggins; offensive linemen Geoff Hangartner, Andy Levitre, Demetrius Bell, Cordaro Howard, Kraig Urbik; defensive linemen Dwan Edwards, Torell Troup and Alex Carrington; linebackers Chris Kelsay, Reggie Torbor, Aaron Maybin, rookie Kelvin Sheppard, Arthur Moats, Antonio Coleman and Danny Batten; defensive backs Leodis McKelvin, Jairus Byrd, Wilson, Jon Corto, Bryan Scott, rookie Da'Norris Searcy; and long-snapper Garrison Sanborn. That's 32 Bills. A handful of undrafted rookies were there too. They included West Seneca natives and Maine products Jeremy Kelly and Desmond Randall and Sacred Heart linebacker Bill O'Brien.
"I'm definitely excited just to see all the guys that came in today," Wilson said. "It's very encouraging. You see how hungry guys are and eager to get back to work. Guys spend their own money to get here. Some guys who don't have their own places are staying with other guys or are paying their own hotel bills. So that shows the willingness and want-to to get back into the groove of things. We're now almost two months into what our normal offseason would be."

Blue Raiders reverse course to clinch division share in win over Lady Toppers
MT wins sixth straight over WKUFebruary 9, 2011 · Athletic Communications

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - It was a tale of two halves Wednesday night, as Middle Tennessee turned a three-point halftime deficit into a six-point, 72-66, victory at Western Kentucky in Sun Belt women's basketball action inside E.A. Diddle Arena in Bowling Green, Ky. The win clinches at least a share of the East Division for the Blue Raiders and extends their streak to eight-straight seasons with at least 20 triumphs and six in a row in the series.
After trailing at the intermission, Middle Tennessee (20-5, 11-1 Sun Belt) turned to freshman Ebony Rowe its first half dozen points to regain the lead, 40-39, with 17:19 left. Keisha Mosley answered to give the Lady Toppers a one-point edge, but it would be the last WKU lead of the contest with 17:05 to play.
Rowe continued to be the focus of the Blue Raider offense during the second 20 minutes, netting 18 of her 21 points after the break. She added 13 rebounds, including nine defensively, for her 13th double-double to go along with three blocked shots in just under 40 minutes. The three-time Sun Belt Player of the Week converted 7-of-9 field goals and 7-of-10 free throws to help secure the comeback.
Senior Anne Marie Lanning also was vital to the win, contributing a game-high 25 points, including 7-of-9 charity tosses. Numerous times Lanning tallied timely buckets, usually nearing the end of a shot clock situation, and added more to stem any tide Western Kentucky seemed to mount. She also added seven assists.
Arnika Brown paced the Lady Toppers with a double-double of her own with 16 points and 14 rebounds. Amy McNear matched her offensively, tying for team-high scoring honors with 16 points.
McNear forced the game's fifth tie at 44-44 but Western Kentucky then went cold as Middle Tennessee warmed up and went on a 9-0 run over a four-minute span to break open the close game. The Lady Toppers missed six shots during the stretch, as freshman Jordyn Luffman capped the surge with a fast-break 3-pointer on an outlet pass from sophomore Kortni Jones at 10:55.
Hope Brown finally ended the drought but five more consecutive Blue Raider points pushed the advantage to a dozen, 58-46, at the 9:07 mark. Three free throws, including a set from LaTeira Owens, and a jumper from McNear trimmed the gap back to seven, 58-51, just two minutes later.
Rowe then converted an old-fashioned three-point play to make it a double-digit difference once again at 61-51 with 6:53 to go. Her free throw at the end of the possession was the first of 12 straight for Middle Tennessee to end the game, as it did not make another field goal.
Meanwhile, Western Kentucky would make it as close as five a couple times down the stretch, the last on an Owens jumper with 1:23 to play. After MT intentionally took a shot clock violation with four seconds left, McNear buried a long 3-pointer with .04 seconds remaining to decide the final margin.
The two teams traded baskets back and forth throughout the first eight minutes with the Blue Raiders holding a slim 19-16 lead at the second media timeout, at 11:43. Four consecutive three-point situations, including a pair of old-fashioned plays, provided the edge for Middle Tennessee. After those plays, Jones and Luffman each drained 3-pointers as the Lady Toppers kept it close by sinking six-straight free throws.
After a Mosley jumper cut the deficit to one, Luffman used a baseline move to push it back to three and then a Rowe free throw made it a four-point difference, 22-18, with 10:53 left. The two teams continued to alternate points and after Lanning hit a jumper at 8:56, Arnika Brown hit a pair of layups for Western Kentucky (10-14, 7-5 Sun Belt), to begin a 6-0 run and give the Lady Toppers the lead once again.
Lanning halted the surge, but again WKU scored twice more before the Blue Raiders could add another bucket, maintaining the two-point edge. The senior's second triple of the half, at 3:09, cut the Lady Topper lead to one, 34-33, but Hope Brown countered with a trey of her own a minute later to give Western Kentucky a 37-34 halftime advantage.
Middle Tennessee returns to action at 7 p.m. Saturday when it plays host to FIU inside the Murphy Center for the annual WBCA Pink Zone game. The Blue Raiders will wear special pink uniforms and the athletic department will hold its annual jersey auction at the conclusion of the contest.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is sponsoring a Diaper Drive Saturday and asking fans to bring diapers, baby hygiene products and baby food among other necessary items.

Political parties
The Pheu Thai Party[2] (PTP) (Thai: พรรคเพื่อไทย; RTGS: Phak Phuea Thai; pronounced [pʰák pʰɯ̂a tʰāj]; For Thais Party) is the majority coalition party of Thailand and has strong electoral support in both the Issan region and the agricultural stronghold region of North Thailand in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai provinces. The party was evolved as the third incarnation of a Thai political party originally founded by former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The Pheu Thai Party was founded on 20 September 2008, as an anticipated replacement for the People's Power Party (PPP), which Constitutional Court of Thailand dissolved less than three months later after finding party members guilty of electoral fraud. The People's Power Party was itself a replacement for Thaksin's original Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party which the Constitutional Court dissolved in May 2007 for violation of electoral laws.[3][4]
Foundation and Opposition years (2008-2011)[edit]
The PPP was dissolved by the Constitutional Court of Thailand on 2 December 2008. On 3 December 2008, the majority of the former PPP MPs defected to the Pheu Thai Party. In a PTP general assembly, the first executive commission was elected on 7 December 2008.[5] Candidates for the party's leader were: Yongyuth Wichaidit, Apiwan Wiriyachai, former Vice President of the House of Representatives, former health minister Chalerm Yubamrung and former industry minister Mingkwan Saengsuwan.[5] Yongyuth Wichaidit was elected as the party's leader.[5][6]
In a December 2008 parliamentary session MPs of five PPP coalition parties decided to endorse Abhisit Vejjajiva as the next prime minister and themselves forming a Democrat-led coalition. The PTP campaigned for their endorsement by the PPP-coalition parties. However, Abhisit had gained their support for the premiership.[7][8] After that, the party called for a national unity government in which all parties would be involved, with Sanoh Thienthong of the Royalist People's Party as the new premier. This proposal was rejected by the defecting coalition parties and the Democrat Party.[9] On 11 December, Worrawat Eua-apinyakul, then MP for Phrae from PTP, suggested that the party should push for a house dissolution and general elections, with the hope of depriving the prospective coalition of a parliamentary majority. However, The President of the House of Representatives; Chai Chidchob spoke against the plan.[10]
On 15 December 2008, the party elected Pracha Promnok as the party's candidate for prime minister and has since been in opposition to prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's coalition government. As an opposition, the party received a rating of 3.75 out of 10 by a majority of respondents in a nationwide survey conducted on 24 and 25 December 2010, by Bangkok University.[11]
In early May 2011, Charupong Ruangsuwan was named new Secretary general of the party.[12]
Pheu Thai in Government[edit]
In 2011 general election, Pheu Thai Party contested for the first time since its foundation. On 16 May Thaksin's youngest sister Yingluck Shinawatra was nominated head of PTP's party-list proportional representation and contender of prime minister Abhisit. One of her main issues in campaign was national reconciliation.[13] The election was expected to be a neck-and-neck between Pheu Thai and the ruling Democrats. Unexpectedly, the party won 265 of 500 seats in the House of Representatives on 3 July. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva acknowledged Pheu Thai's success in the election, and congratulated Yingluck Shinawatra as Thailand's first female prime minister.[14] Despite its absolute majority, the winning party announced to form a coalition government with five minor parties. On 5 August, Yingluck was elected prime minister with 296 votes in favour. The election was approved and Yingluck was formally appointed by the king on 8 August.[15]

Uroliths can be found in the renal pelvis, the ureter, the bladder, or the urethra. The most common locations are the bladder
and the urethra. A higher incidence of calcium oxalate has been reported in the ureter and kidney in cats. This higher incidence
seems to parallel the diet changes instituted several years ago to prevent stones in the lower urinary tract. Different types
of uroliths have been identified in veterinary medicine such as struvite or magnesium ammonium phosphate, calcium oxalate,
ammonium urate, silicate and cystine. Pathophysiology behind each type of urolith needs to be well understood in order to
accomplish a successful surgical treatment.
Hematuria, stranguria, and pollakiuria are the most common clinical signs associated with uroliths. Blood work, urinalysis,
radiographic evaluation of the urinary system and ultrasounds are required to diagnosed urolithiasis in dogs and cats.
Evaluation of patients before surgery
If an obstruction is present several metabolic changes can occur that will compromise the patient. First a post-renal azotemia
will develop. This azotemia should be reversible as soon as the urine can flow freely. This azotemia may not develop if the
obstruction is only compromising one ureter or one kidney. Electrolyte imbalance will develop very quickly with urinary obstruction
or uroabdomen. Uroabdomen can appear if an obstruction has been sustained for a long period of time. Hyperkalemia will induce
serious bradycardia with tall T wave (K >5.5 mEq/L), prolongation of QRS complex (K>6.5 mEq/L), decrease amplitude of P wave
and prolongation of P wave (K>7.5 mEq/L), and disappearance of P wave when K>8.5 mEq/L. High potassium concentration will
induce a temporary atrial standstill. It is important to recognize those changes because induction of anesthesia in such a
patient is not indicated. To lower the potassium concentration induction of diuresis is the best option. Either a small urinary
catheter can be placed in the urethra to bypass the obstruction or a cystocenthesis can be performed to empty the bladder
as much as possible. If a uroabdomen is present an abdominal drain can be placed under local anesthesia. If diuresis does
not lower the level of potassium a combination of insulin glucose and bicarbonate can be used. Potassium concentration will
decrease for a period of time allowing a safe induction of anesthesia to perform surgery. Finally if insulin is not helping
injection of calcium gluconate will help protect the heart against the effect of potassium.

Ben Boulware couldn't wait to get back on the football field.
The T.L. Hanna linebacker had not buckled the chinstrap since a 20-7 loss to Westside on Nov. 2 and was itching to unleash some pent up frustration.
The 6-foot-1, 226-pounder finally got that chance as practice for the 76th Annual Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas began on Monday at Spartanburg High School.
Boulware, a Mr. Football finalist and Clemson commitment, said it was a great feeling to be able to get his uniform dirty again.
"I'm fresh," he said. "We've been out of football for about a month, so I'm feeling good. I'm just trying to play hard and fast."
Boulware did just that this past season, recording 174 total tackles with 10 for loss, two sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries for the Yellow Jackets. He led the team in tackles in all 11 games and has been the leading tackler since his sophomore year.
Boulware hopes to continue his dominating ways in Saturday's game and is looking forward to facing all-star competition.
"We're the best players in both South Carolina and North Carolina," he said. "It's a lot better competition than I'm used to playing against, so I'm having fun."
The competition will only become tougher beginning next year at the Division I level. Boulware welcomes the challenge and is ready to suit up for the Tigers.
"I want to be that old school, hard-nosed linebacker," he said. "I'm not dissing on our dudes, but I guess they've been missing that lately. I hope I can go and bring a new style in there."
Clemson has surrendered 24.9 points and 411 yards per game going into its Chick-Fil-A Bowl contest against LSU on New Year's Eve at the Georgia Dome.
South Carolina coach Ray Stackley said Boulware exhibited that approach during Monday's practices.
"He's a little rusty, but getting himself in good shape," Stackley said. "He's very active. He gets downhill good. … Ben is a Division I commit to Clemson, and you've been able to see why today."
Boulware believes the freshman class coming in will help steer Clemson toward becoming a better defense and is excited to play for his favorite team since childhood.
"I don't talk to a lot of them, but I know they've got some athletes that can move around and hit pretty good," he said. "I've always been a Clemson fan. My brother is there. My whole family has been there. I knew from the get-go that's where I wanted to be."
MOODY INTRODUCES HIMSELF: Conway wide receiver Mykal Moody made sure he was going to be noticed by some of the college scouts in attendance on Monday. Moody made a catch on the sideline before his momentum carried him into a Newberry coach. The coach stopped him, patted him on the head and quickly made his pitch stating, "Newberry. Come to Newberry."
THE BYRNES-GAFFNEY TRILOGY: Byrnes offensive lineman Isaiah Pinson and Gaffney defensive lineman Jaylen Miller got to hook up one more time this year as the two lined up opposite of each other in practice. The Rebels and Indians met twice during the season with Gaffney winning both.
DURANT IMPRESSIVE: Greenwood linebacker Devon Durant was turning heads during the morning session with several forceful hits and his ability to fly to the ball. His play, along with the remaining linebackers, drew praise from Stackley.
"All four of our linebackers, Ben Boulware, Byron Johnson, Devon Durant and Devaris Brunson all came out good today," he said.
TIS THE SEASON FOR CONTACT: South Carolina wasted little time banging heads with several contact drills in the morning and afternoon practices. While a few big hits were recorded, Stackley said the best is yet to come.
"We didn't turn them loose on defense today," he said. "The offense is just getting put in, and the defense is always a little ahead early. We were thudding things, but we'll have a day here where we'll strike it up pretty good."

It's all about pedal power.
Students at Windber Area High School are taking their gym class outdoors and mountain biking, which not only allows them to leave the building for a while but also reap the benefits of physical activity.
The class has been offered in the high school as part of the physical education curriculum for years, but within the past two years became an elective with students choosing to include it in their schedule.
"We were looking at adding activities that kids could carry with them to adulthood and would benefit their overall health," said Glenn Gaye, Windber's director of education. "They enjoy it because they want to be there and don't even see it as exercise."
The school has 50 mountain bikes of various sizes, and each student is required to wear a helmet on rides.
The bikes are serviced periodically to ensure they are functioning properly.
The rides, which are led by teacher Norman Williams, vary, but for the most part stay on district property and secondary roads around the school for safety reasons.
"It's a popular elective and the interest is there," Gaye said. "Each class that goes out has between 24 to 26 kids."
Kaitlyn Weaver, 14, said she looks forward to the daily bike ride.
"I feel like I'm in better physical condition and we're not even halfway through the year," the freshman said.
She even went as far as to say it's her favorite class of the day.
"It's just really fun and something different, and you get to be outside more," Kaitlyn said.
Gaye said there is discussion about expanding the class and offering it to middle-school pupils.
"We want our kids to be active so they are healthy, so we're not only educating the mind but also strengthening the body," he said.

Timberwolves-Clippers Preview
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO
Posted Dec 22 2013 2:49AM
Success from beyond the arc tends to have the Los Angeles Clippers feeling rather merry.
A meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves may just keep it that way heading into Christmas.
The Clippers look to build on another impressive performance from long range as they attempt to beat the Timberwolves for the eighth straight time Sunday night.
Los Angeles (19-9) is shooting 33.7 percent from 3-point range on the season, but has made 41.5 percent while averaging 112.0 points during a season high-tying four-game winning streak. The Clippers, who face Golden State on Christmas, have connected on at least 11 3s in each of the past three contests, including 13 while cruising to Saturday's 112-91 win over Denver.
They're 21-2 since the start of last season when they make at least 11 from long range and are 8-0 in such games in 2013-14. They hit 12 in a 102-98 win at Minnesota on Nov. 20, extending their winning streak in the series to seven games.
Jamal Crawford came up big from long range Saturday, making 6 of 12 while scoring 27 points. He had 17 in each of the previous three games, while going 5 for 19 on 3s.
Matt Barnes is also looking to do his part after scoring 13 points against the Nuggets after missing 16 while recovering from three procedures to repair a torn retina in his eye. The forward is wearing protective goggles, but isn't enjoying the experience.
"I feel good," Barnes said after going 3 for 7 from beyond the arc. "I got elbowed and the goggles gave me a bruise. I don't see myself wearing them long."
Blake Griffin is averaging 24.0 points and 11.7 rebounds over the past three games. The forward has totaled 45 points and 20 rebounds in the two wins over the Timberwolves (13-14) this season.
He led the Clippers with 25 points in a 109-107 victory at home Nov. 11, winning against Minnesota there for the seventh time in nine tries and third in a row.
The Timberwolves have dropped nine of 12 on the road, but they're alternated wins and losses over their last six overall. They'll look for that to continue after falling 104-91 on the road to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.
"No energy. We have to be better than that," coach Rick Adelman said. "They outworked us all night long. It was a poor game on our part."
Minnesota will likely need to also show some improvement from the field after shooting 34.7 percent - 5 for 22 from beyond the arc - against the Lakers.
Kevin Love continues to do his part, averaging 30.6 points and 13.0 rebounds while hitting 47.6 percent from long range over the past five games. However, he scored 20 of his 25 points in the first half Friday and was held scoreless in the fourth quarter.
The forward had 23 points and 19 boards with seven assists against the Clippers on Nov. 11. He wasn't nearly as effective at home nine days later, going 2 for 14 from the floor to finish with a season-low 10 points to go with 12 rebounds and eight assists.
Kevin Martin had 28 points and 10 boards in that meeting after scoring 30 at Staples Center on Nov. 11. The guard struggled from the floor there Friday, making 6 of 16 attempts while getting 14 points.
http://www.nba.com/games/20131222/MINLA ... tml?ls=slt
the wolves tend to start real hot. if I'm not mistaken they rank high among all teams in points scored in the first quarter. I'm not sure what's going on with that team but with a roster of Love, Rubio, Barrea, and Martin that should be a playoff bound team.
I would say Rubio and Pekovic are good defenders, but otherwise the team seems to be of the philosophy that the key to good defense is great offense. Break a teams spirit by shooting lights out in the first quarter and half. If teams can weather that storm, they can beat the T Wolves.
I don't know if we win this game on a back to back..... i hope we do, but I don't know
Our defense will be given a run for their money that's for sure.
I think we will see a lot of Blake-to-DeAndre lobs this game because Minny doesn't have the height to contest them.
Suspecting huge game from Paul I hope someone tells him Lillard or Parker is the best PG. Blake and DJ have to focus on defense.
This one might be tough. T Wolves don't want to fall any further below .500. K Love knows he's been outplayed by BG and his team has lost both times so far. Love is out of his mini slump. They've had a little rest and didn't have to travel between games.
On the other hand, you know BG is hearing all the talk about Love being the best PF in the league. The ESPN panel a couple of days ago suggested (as did the guest on the Questionable Blogger) that were the two players traded, Love would help the Clippers win more games and Blake apparently wouldn't help the T Wolves at all. That crap would motivate me.
Well, this is all easily explain. One will have an up an coming PG while the other will have the BEST PG in the world.
In all honesty, BG is getting better as the season progresses. He is a better defender and he can still get better.
The one thing K Love does better is shoot, yet BG is getting better there.
One thing "experts" never look at is the fact that Love is the focus of their offense, which is why he will average more points than BG.
On the rebounds, Love average more because his center only grabs 8.8 boards as oppose to DJs' 13. Say what you will. I think it is impressive that BG averages 10.5 boards. What other teammates average double digits in rebounds?
But, but, but,you guys,everyone in the media and America KNOWS that Kevin Love is the 2nd coming and is unstoppable. Just ask the idiots stuffing his ballot for the AS game.
I am so so so so so so so so so so tired of hearing about the greatness of Kevin Love. Blake needs to take him down a few rungs.
2nd unit got a lot of the heavy lifting in the 2nd half last night. I suspect our starters will not be too tired to send the wolves back to the woods.
BTW,I don't know how many of you go to the games but you know how they have the Chumash shoot for cash where someone has to shoot a lot of almost 3 pointers and gets 500 bucks for each shot made? Last night is the first time I can recall someone not making a single basket and walked away with nothing.
Oh I agree. To grab 16 rebounds WHILE playing the kind of D Blake played last night was amazing. Admittedly, I haven't seen as many T Wolves games but I've NEVER seen Love play close to that kind of defense. I don't mean to keep slamming Love. Love has ridiculous offensive skills...but he's been given the green light to rest a bit on defense as long as he keeps concentrating on the glass.
Watch Love have his best defensive performance tonight. lol
Since J.J. Redick is a supposed better defender than Crawford, I wonder if Crawford can hold him under 28 points, because he's lit us up for 30 and 28 all ready this year.
I do not want to slam him either. I just want the media to recognize the fact that if you are the best of anything, you play an all around game.
LBJ is the best player in the world and he does it all.
CP is the best PG because he does it all. There are better scorers or better defenders but not all together.
Hopefully BG continues his rampage tonight.
By the way, I know Blake's not perfect on defense...but with Doc coaching, Blake could really be a special defensive player in years to come. IF we don't jump the gun and trade Blake (as some "experts" suggest) and Doc's able to cultivate his young guys. Blake's still a young guy. He's known as a hard worker. He seems to want to be a better all around player. And we see he's gotten better defensively ever year.
If BG wanted to, he could have kept playing like he did as a rookie. Taking the ball for himself. Relaxing on defense in favor of grabbing rebounds. Stuffing stat sheets every night.
Instead, he's improved his defense (even before Doc) even at the expense of his rebounding. He's taken more jumpers when his instinct is probably to go inside. He's sacrificed (some might say too much) some of his own numbers for the team.
But Doc has come at the right time for Blake. Doc has a defensive system that BG seems to understand and is getting better at executing. The more a guy like Blake practices, the more he will be able to master it. With his hustle and athleticism, he and DJ have potential to be the best defensive duo for years to come.
That's a whole lot better than having a guy who spends years NOT playing defense, then asking him to start in his 30's.
By the way, I can't say enough how impressed I am with Blake and DJ's screens. They are being patient with them and really doing the job.
By "him" I take it you mean Kevin Martin?
Yeah, Martin scorched JJ (and Crawford, btw) in both games. They weren't exactly all uncontested. Martin's good and scorched a lot of players this year. Stop pretending JJ isn't a better defender than JC.
The good news is Crawford has had 2 good games against the T Wolves. Hope he has another one tonight.
Is there still time to go get Q Ross??
It needs to be a collective effort. His goofy looking shot is money when left alone. Also, can not foul him.
I'm just messing with you, Specifically you, but I'd don't believe J.J is better or worse than Crawford on D, they're both pretty average, except Jamal does force more turnover's. Also Martin scored most of those points on J.J., Crawford Played mainly the SF position during those game, and I just have the image of Martin hitting shots over Redick like he wasn't even there.
Blake just needs to posterize Love. Like nuts in the face posterize... To end all
this Love vs Blake crazy talk.
Love plays with a garbage team who can't score. He has a big center
who can't rebound. If blake played for Twolves he would have 30-15.
Love has a good set of offensive skills no denying that. But If I wanted
offensive skills personally I'd take Lamarcus Aldridge over love.
Agree with postman, playing on a garbage team does improve Love's stats by a lot.
However, I'd still take Love over Blake now. Love's skills are more polished, but Blake's got way more potential and definitely showing improvement this year..
In Love's tenure with Minny, they've replaced the GM, hired a HOF coach, rebuilt the roster god knows how many times and he's still never even sniffed the playoffs.
At some point, the talking heads will stop making excuses for him.
I'll take insane athleticism from a PF than a 3 point shooter. Blake can change the momentum of a game instantly.
Not to mention what type of fan would say they would trade their franchise player? Is this a new thing?
I doubt back in the day a detroit fan would ever say they would trade for Michael Jordan. I dunno. No loyalty these days.
Blake all the way!
Woo I'm coming back home for the holidays from the bay area today. What is it that I must do when I go back home this time of year? Go to Staples and watch a Clipper game! This will be my first time sitting in the 100's. I can't wait!
Wait...it's at 9:30? Damn. Our team didn't even get 24 hours to prepare.
The Clips are that good they can even do it on 23
Hope so! LET'S DO THIS!
Though they're all different players, but this is like comparing Jabari Parker (already highly skilled) and Wiggins (raw but huge potential).
Your acting like blake isn't skilled. Blake is no longer "Raw Potential".
He has great post moves. A decent jump shot. And athletic ability to
muscle his way into the post.
Have you watched blake this season?
...and his record against Love has been pretty darn good. I hope I didn't jinx anything.
Should be a close game tonight with the boys from Minny. Love (no pun intended) watching 2 of the best at their positions going head to head. Go Blake and Clipps.
Good battles between the two.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... 2=loveke01
Blake's numbers ain't so bad against that other PF proclaimed better than BG:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... =aldrila01
LA, IMO isn't in the same class as Blake or Love. One step below.
Blake's improved so much from what he was last year. But he's far from reaching his potential.
He's got power, speed, handles, but rarely applies them all at once, which often gets him bad looks.
His jump shots got better, but I still see him pass away the ball when he's wide open 30-40% of the time. Which means he still isn't confident enough to think that shooting a jumper is a good option.
Willie is such a nice person.
Thank you Willie. Short and sweet.
Lets go!
It is time!
I like our sleeve unis better.
It really bugs me that DJ doesn't put his arms up on defense.
J craw BINGO! X2.
Can not get in foul trouble. DJ needs to defend better. That monster uses his big body, DJ use your length.
I see Paul is back in a mini shooting slump. So annoying
I don't like DJ's defense so far.
Only two links and they both suck!
Does DJ's post defense consist of just watching his man score on every f***** play? he doesn't even try to raise his arms to make it look like he's trying.
Keys: they will pump fake you to death - STAY ON THE FLOOR!
Move the basketball and make these slow bigs of Minn move and get them in some picka and rolls and attack off the pick
Oh yeah and let Jared Dudley shoot more
I can only listen to the game, like old time radio. Grrrr.
Deandre Jordan and Jamal just connected on that same offensive rebound and slash like him a Redick became so fond of
Hmmm...sounds like an awesome dunk. SOUNDS like!
We need to win this to game some ground. The OKC just loss a game against the Raptors.

WASHINGTON — British drug maker GlaxoSmithKline is scrambling to shore up the safety image of its weight loss pill alli after watching sales dive on news that federal regulators are investigating the drug.
Alli has received a high-profile marketing push as the first over-the-counter weight loss medication, complete with television ads and a celebrity endorsement from country singer Wynonna Judd.
However, GSK has spent the last two weeks on damage control after the Food and Drug Administration said it was probing more than 30 reports of liver damage in patients taking alli and Xenical, the prescription version of the drug.
GSK executives say sales of alli dropped 10 percent after the Aug. 24 announcement, even though the FDA stressed it had established no direct link between the drug and liver problems.
GSK rushed out print advertisements in national newspapers and magazines, stressing the extensive safety testing behind the drug.
"It's the most widely studied weight-loss medicine ever, with over 100 clinical studies involving 30,000 patients," Howard Marsh, chief medical officer of GSK's consumer products division, said in an interview.
U.S. sales of alli climbed 12percent from a year ago to $42million in the last quarter, though they have come nowhere near the blockbuster numbers originally expected by Wall Street after the drug's 2007 launch.
Analysts say the brand has been hurt by lower consumer spending as well as unpleasant side effects, such as anal leakage.
GSK employs about 5,000 people in the Triangle, including many at its U.S. headquarters campus in Research Triangle Park.
The FDA first requested information from GSK about liver toxicity more than a year ago, but company executives said they had no advance warning of the August announcement.
The FDA said last month it had received 32 reports of serious liver injury among patients taking alli and Xenical between 1999 and October 2008.
The FDA release did not mention that only two of the 32 reports involved alli, something GSK and the FDA later confirmed. Xenical, marketed by Roche, has been available via prescription for 10 years.
GSK stresses that more than 6million people in the U.S. have taken alli, making two incidents of liver damage a micro-fraction of a percent.

anyone recommend a good place to purchase one?? or did anyone happen to build their own sleds, I'm not very hands with tools.. heck I dont think I own any.
If you want to buy one, go to www.elitefts.com. If you want to make one, check out my journal. Very easy and almost no tools required. I even included a picture.
I think i remember seeing it some time ago... you made it out of a tire correct?
Yeah, I used an old car tire and stuck some boards in it so I could pile sandbags on top. Drag it in a parking lot so it grips the pavement.
I tied 2 pickup truck tires together, works pretty good for me but im pretty light. Talk about hard work, my cardo sucks

Speaking SQL
In my work, I often find myself writing CGI programs that need to read or write information on the file system attached to a web server. Sometimes, this information is fairly simple, throwaway stuff, such as logging information accrued when I am trying to debug a particularly difficult program.
Sometimes, as we saw in a series of columns earlier this year, we can use text files for the storage and retrieval of structured information, such as the questions and answers for a multiple-choice quiz. Those quizzes were stored in a simple format, with each question placed on a line by itself. For example, here is a line that might have come from one of those quizzes:
What color was George Washington's white horse? White Black Gray Pink a
While the mechanics of magazine publishing mean that you cannot see the difference between various whitespace characters, the above line is separated into six fields: The question text, the four answers presented to the user, and a letter (a, b, c or d) indicating which of the four answers is correct. Fields are separated by Tab characters (ASCII 9), which look identical to space characters (ASCII 32), but which are quite different as far as the computer is concerned.
The quiz programs we explored earlier this year expected to read from files containing one or more such lines, with each line representing a single question. A quiz containing a single question (for users who prefer easy challenges) would have one line, while a quiz containing 1000 questions would contain 1000 lines.
This raises the important issue of scalability, the software's ability to remain efficient even when data sets become quite large. It is not difficult to write programs that can handle small amounts of data efficiently, particularly as hardware continues to drop in price while increasing in performance. It is much harder, though, to write software that can handle large amounts of data.
ASCII text files are wonderful when dealing with small amounts of data, since they are easy to manipulate from within programs, particularly when using Perl, which is strong in handling regular expressions. But when we must work with a large amount of data, or when we want to perform sophisticated searches, we may find ourselves reinventing the wheel or working with tools (such as ASCII text files) that no longer fit our needs.
A common solution to this problem is to off-load the data storage and retrieval to a program known as a relational database server. The "server" part of the name indicates that it expects to receive requests from one or more clients, and the "database" part of the name indicates its storage and retrieval of information on behalf of those clients. You may, however, be unfamiliar with the "relational" part of the name, which means that data is stored in sets of tables, which we can access using SQL, the Structured Query Language. This month, we take a first look at SQL queries, including how they can be integrated into our CGI programs; in the coming months, we will explore this topic in greater depth, using relational database servers for a variety of projects.
SQL is an international standard to which many corporate databases adhere. While the "L" in SQL stands for "language", it does not mean that you can write programs in SQL. Rather, SQL is a language for formulating queries to database servers. The SQL commands must be incorporated into programs written in a true programming language, such as Perl or C.
Relational databases work on the client-server model, just as the Web does. Whereas web clients and servers communicate using HTTP, database clients and servers communicate with SQL. Needless to say, SQL is much more complicated than HTTP, although as you will see, it is fairly straightforward to learn. SQL may be easy to learn, but that does not mean it is simple. On the contrary, long-time database administrators and programmers understand more about the storage and retrieval of data using SQL than I could ever imagine.
The key to understanding SQL is to realize that everything in an SQL database is stored in a table. Rows in the table represent table records, while columns represent fields. Thus, we could represent an address book as a table.
Name Telephone ---- --------- Reuven 04-824-2265 Andy 02-123-4567 Gil 04-999-8888
There are three records in this table, each represented by a row. Each record contains two fields, each represented by a column. Each table and column must have a name, so we will call this the "phone_book" table, with two columns, "name" and "telephone".
So far, this might not seem like a great advance over what we have done with text files. Why bother with rows, columns, and tables when we can use an ASCII file?
The simple answer is that we can allow the database server to do the work for us—and it will return an answer to us very quickly, as per our instructions, without getting bogged down by the number of records in the database. If we were interested in finding Andy's telephone number with a text file version of the above table, we would need to iterate through the entire file, checking each record for a match. With a relational database, we can issue an SQL query to the database server, asking for only those rows which match our particular criteria.
Thus, if we were interested in retrieving Andy's telephone number from the table above, we could use an SQL select command to do so:
select telephone from phone_book where name = "Andy";
The SQL statement above asks the database server to return the telephone column from the table named phone_book, for each row in which the name is Andy. If a single row matches the query, we receive a single row as a response from the database server, but if multiple rows match, we receive all of those rows. If no row matches our query, we receive no rows, which might seem odd, until you realize that database client programs often iterate over the results returned to them. Iterating over no values is as easy as iterating over 100 values, although most good client programs check to make sure that at least one row was returned.
We can insert a row into our table with the following:
insert into phone_book (name,telephone) values ("Iris","04-999-8888");
After performing the operation above, our table looks like:
Name Telephone---- ---------Reuven 04-824-2265Andy 02-123-4567Gil 04-999-8888Iris 04-999-8888
which we can see by retrieving everything, using an asterisk to mean "all columns":
select * from phone_book;
If we want to retrieve all of the rows belonging to people with the telephone number 04-999-8888, we use this line:
select name from phone_book where telephone = "04-999-8888";Note that we do not need to worry about two identical records, since relational databases strictly require each record to be unique in some way. Two rows might differ in only a single column, but that column is enough to make the rows distinct.
One advantage, then, of using SQL and a relational database server is the increased efficiency, both of our programs (which no longer need to read the entire contents of a text file) and ourselves (since we no longer need to write matching engines and define data formats). There are other advantages to using SQL and relational databases too; most importantly, database servers handle file locking in a sophisticated and efficient way, ensuring that data is not lost while keeping operations moving along quickly.
Relational databases also offer an amazing array of optimization techniques and security levels, among other things. And best of all, SQL is a portable standard that (mostly) works in the same way on a great many database systems; that is, once you learn how to write some basic SQL queries, you will be able to store your data on just about any available platform.
Most of my SQL experience is with Sybase on Solaris systems, but for the purposes of this article, I decided the time had come to install a relational database server on my Linux machine (running Red Hat 4.0 with a number of updated packages, including the 2.0.30 kernel). I decided to download MySQL, a database server that looked small but powerful, and which came in RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) format, allowing me to install it quickly. (Don't confuse MySQL with mSQL, another relational database package available for Linux. For information on how to obtain MySQL, see the sidebar accompanying this article.)
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

The Sedgwick County Zoo is hitting the streets in an effort to get up close and personal with animals.
The zoo serves more than 12,000 students from economically disadvantaged neighborhoods every year. But some groups are unable to travel to west Wichita.
Now thanks to a local car dealership, the zoo is on the move. Mel Hambelton Ford donated a Ford Transit to connect more people with animals.
"This isn't just a vehicle," said Executive Director Mark C. Reed. "To us this is inspiration, discovery, and adventure on wheels."
The outreach programs tailors to schools and senior centers across Sedgwick County.
