The Athens Review
The Trinity Valley Community College Lady Cardinals almost didn't get to start Saturday's game against the Austin Elite club team.
It turned out to be one of their most impressive wins of the season.
The Lady Cardinals, playing with just five players, came away with a 100-59 win over Elite at Cardinal Gym. No. 3 TVCC is now 11-0.
An altercation during last Friday's win over Northeastern Oklahoma left the Lady Cards with just four players to suit up Saturday. While a game can continue with four players on one team, it can't start with only four.
To keep from forfeiting for its first loss of the season, head coach Elena Lovato recruited the services of TVCC volleyball player Catania Grant, a freshman from Eustace.
With Grant rounding out the necessary five, the Lady Cards rolled. Shlonte Allen led the way for TVCC with 33 points, 21 rebounds, six assists, six steals and five blocks. Savannah Carter had 28 points and 26 rebounds, Krystle Henderson finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists and Kyhonta Doughty scored eight points.
Grant, who hadn't played basketball since high school, finished with 11 points and four rebounds.
TVCC 86. Houston Blaze 76
The TVCC Cardinals moved to 8-2 on the season with an 86-76 win over the Houston Blaze club team Saturday at Cardinal Gym.
Carl Porter led the scoring charge 16 points. Four other Cardinals were in double figures — Josh Gentry had 12, Dominique Elliott scored 11 and Karon Phillips and Mike Miller finished with 10 points each.
Head coach Kris Baumann's Cardinals will try to improve to 2-0 in Region XIV Conference Wednesday when they host Lamar State-Port Arthur in a 7 p.m. tip at Cardinal Gym.

The Sabres' new Alumni Plaza has been a hit, with folks stopping by the French Connection statue to take photos during those rare days when there's a reason to go to First Niagara Center.
Another highlight of the plaza is the mural of all-time greats that extends across the walking bridge above the plaza. It's a who's who of Sabreland, with huge photos of 18 players running from the parking ramp to the arena. The players who made the cut are, in order:
Roger Crozier, Danny Gare, Jim Schoenfeld, Craig Ramsay, Mike Foligno, Dave Andreychuk, Mike Ramsey, Phil Housley, Alexander Mogilny, Pat LaFontaine, Dominik Hasek, Michael Peca, Chris Drury, Maxim Afinogenov, Ryan Miller, Jason Pominville, Thomas Vanek and Tyler Myers.
Wait ... Afinogenov?
Yup, the Russian who personifies "enigmatic" made the list of team legends. He beat out the likes of Dale Hawerchuk, Miroslav Satan, Don Luce and Rob Ray.
On one hand, there's a case to be made for Afinogenov. He spent nine seasons with the Sabres. He ranks 18th in team scoring with 334 points, including 200 assists. He was popular among fans, with his jersey ranking among the league leaders in sales during the rush to the registers from 2005 to 2007.
Then again, Afinogenov's time in Buffalo is almost equally as notable for the down times. He slumped while refusing to play a team game. He suffered mysterious concussions. He was run out of town after totaling only 16 goals during his last two seasons.
Satan, meanwhile, led the Sabres in scoring for six seasons. He's 10th on the team's all-time points list with 456, including 224 goals, which ranks eighth.
Hawerchuk is a member of the Sabres' Hall of Fame after putting up 385 points in 382 games.
Luce ranks seventh with 526 points, put up in 766 games, which ranks seventh in team history.
Ray played 889 games for the Sabres to trail only Gilbert Perreault (1,191), Ramsay (1,070) and Ramsey (911). He spent 14 years in Blue and Gold while establishing an unbeatable record of 3,189 penalty minutes.
Daniel Briere played a bigger role in the Sabres' success while Afinogenov was in town, but it's tough to put up a player who still skates for a key rival (and torments his old team with goals and points).
The mural tries to include all the eras of Sabres hockey, so it makes sense that Afinogenov could beat out Luce or Hawerchuk. His inclusion evens out the decades.
But Satan and Ray could be considered contemporaries of Afinogenov. It seems both have more credentials for a prized spot in Alumni Plaza.

Survey: More Than One-Quarter of Americans Have No Emergency Savings
Americans are saving far less now than a few decades ago.
Financial experts advise people to have three to six months' worth of expenses saved up.
A sizable share of Americans is just one unexpected bill away from being broke.
Fully 27 percent of Americans say they have no emergency savings, and only half claim they have enough saved up to cover three months' worth of expenses, according to new survey data from Bankrate.com. Only 24 percent of Americans say they have at least six months' worth.
That lack of savings persists across all income groups.
[READ: Household Net Worth Hits Record Levels]
"When we look at the propensity or lack thereof to have emergency savings, it is clear across all income groups that everybody's got work to do," says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.
While higher-income households are more likely to have saved up money than those on the lower end of the spectrum, even many of these upper-income households have failed to stow away much emergency cash. According to McBride, only half of households with annual incomes of $75,000 or more have saved up enough money to cover six months of expenses, the level that Bankrate considers sufficient.
Many financial experts advise people to have three to six months' worth of expenses saved up. While six months is on the upper end of that range, McBride says that a slow-growing job market and persistent long-term unemployment are good reasons for people to save more.
[RELATED: Many Still Struggling to Recover Lost Wealth]
"All of that argues for more of a cushion, not less of a cushion," he says.
According to figures from the Commerce Department, Americans' propensity to save has declined considerably in the last 40 years. In the first quarter of 2013, Americans' personal saving rate — that is, the share of all Americans' income not consumed — was at 2.3 percent, a five-year low and down from the 2012 fourth-quarter estimate of 5.3 percent. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the savings rate often trended above 10 percent.
[ALSO: As the Economy Recovers, the Wealth Gap Widens]
That 2.3 percent figure is, however, subject to revision, and the personal saving rate has been known to undergo large revisions, as the Cleveland Fed noted earlier this month. Still, the data show that Americans are saving less than they used to. McBride says that may have to do with a materialist culture and "keeping up with the Joneses." However, rising costs of living combined with stagnant wages likely also play a part, he says.
"It's not that [consumers] are being frivolous or careless," he says. "In a lot of cases, it's simply because their income hasn't gone up, and other expenses have."

Solstice, Christmas and Hanukkah are over. The world hasn't ended yet. And if you've put off planning for a New Year's Eve celebration the way the politicians have put off planning for the so-called "fiscal cliff," you still have three more days.
Here's a guide to some of the local possibilities for ushering in 2013, the first year in most of our lifetimes to end with the oft-thought-unlucky number. Imagine the Facebook status updates that numerical coincidence might inspire.
Last year, the New Year's Eve event was the outdoor Snow Rave, complete with a ball drop.
But with trickster-about-town David Scherer Water out of town this year, the folks at the Olympia Ballroom have picked up the ball with the Olyball New Year's Bash featuring the Blackberry Bushes Stringband and The Brown Edition, along with DJ HeartTone.
And they'll be dropping the ball, too, at the appropriate time.
Olyball New Year's Bash, 9 p.m. Dec. 31, Olympia Ballroom, 116 Legion Way, Olympia $15 in advance at brownpapertickets.com, $20 at the door.
Harlequin Productions' Stardust series of holiday shows is no more. But the theater is continuing the Stardust tradition of ringing in the New Year on East Coast time – a decision originally made in honor of the fictional Stardust Club in New York City.
Monday's performance of "A Christmas Survival Guide" starts pretty early, so it can wrap up in time for the 9 p.m. toast (with complimentary champagne). And when it's all over, you can head home for a sensible night of rest or go out and do it all over again.
"A Christmas Survival Guide," 7 p.m. Dec. 31, State Theater, 202 Fourth Ave. E., Olympia. $38, $35 for military and seniors, $25 for students and those younger than 25. 360-786-0151, www.harlequin productions.org.
Just as Harlequin Productions always celebrates the new year early, so to does the Hands On Children's Museum. That's no different at the museum's snazzy new location, which features a four-level climbing structure.
What is different, though, is the museum – now the largest children's museum in the state – is recommending advance reservations and offering timed entry to help manage the expected crowds.
Noon Year's Eve, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Dec. 31, Hands On Children's Museum, 414 Jefferson St. NE, Olympia. $12 for child members, $15 for child nonmembers, $4 for accompanying adults. 360-956-0818, hocm.org.
This New Year's Eve party is for those who like a swingin' sound. It also offers substantial hors d'oeuvres and a champagne toast, and there's a no-host bar.
New Year's Eve Party with Johnny Lewis's Big Band 8:30 p.m. Dec. 31, The Olympia Center, 222 Columbia St. NW, Olympia. $35, $280 for a table of eight, available at Music 6000. For ages 21 and older; semiformal. 360-866-2178, 360-786-6000.
Call it Saturday night fever, or call it disco fever: If you've continued to burn, baby, burn through the decades, Little Creek Casino Resort has the New Year's Eve party for you.
Performing at the party is the Sonic Funk Orchestra. The news release for the event trumpets that the orchestra "will take you on a trip from 'Saturday Night Fever' to Studio 54 like no other local band can." (Of course, that's not a very long trip given that the movie came out in 1977, the same year that the club opened.)
New Year's Celebration with Sonic Funk Orchestra, 9 p.m. Dec. 31, Little Creek Casino Resort, 91 state Route 108, Shelton. $45. For ages 21 and older. littlecreek.ticketsunplugged.com, 800-667-7711.
OK, so there aren't any polar bears in Olympia. But if you are as hardy as one, head to the Polar Bear Plunge at Long Lake. Rugged folks can ring in the new year cold and soaking wet on what's bound to be a chilly day with even chillier water.
Polar Bear Plunge, noon-1:30 p.m. (plunge is at 1 p.m.) Jan. 1, Long Lake Park, 2790 Carpenter Road SE, Lacey. Free. 360-491-0857, ci.lacey.wa.us.

This Friday, June 11, 2010, marks the opening day of the 2010 FIFA World Cup games, held in South Africa. Soccer is the most widely played and enjoyed sport around the world, and it's certainly the most popular sport in our household. My husband has played nearly his entire life, growing up in city leagues, playing for school, and enjoying adult amateur soccer, both indoors and out. He introduced me to indoor soccer – I started playing about 9 years ago (my previous experience was only a single season as a kindergartner – many years ago!), and while I'm not likely to be called up to the WPS anytime soon, it's a great way to stay in shape, challenge myself, enjoy time with friends, and blow off steam. At home, we subscribe to a lot of specialty cable TV stations, just so my husband can watch as many of his beloved Chelsea games as he can. Of course, when we tune in this Saturday to watch the United States play England, we'll be cheering our Team USA the whole way.
In anticipation of the upcoming games, I realized I knew next to nothing about South African cuisine. So I worked to educate myself. Turns out, South African cuisine is a "rainbow of cuisines" (as described by Wikipedia), as it is comprised of a variety of sources and cultures, including the cuisines of the indigenous people of South Africa, such as the Khoisan and Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho-speaking people, Indian and British immigrants and their cuisines, the cuisines of the Cape Malay people, and cultures such as Portuguese Mozambique. This makes for a wide variety of dishes and tastes. I was unsure of where to start, so I found one of the most popular dishes in South Africa – bobotie.
Bobotie is a meat dish consisting of ground/minced beef or lamb topped with an egg "custard". The spices remind me of Indian and Malaysian cuisine, with the use of curry and turmeric, but the inclusion of nuts and fruit reminds me of other African dishes. While it takes a bit of time to make, the dish is relatively straightforward. I sifted through recipes, and decided upon a Martha Stewart recipe that looked tasty. I served it with a cinnamon basmati rice, also a variation on her recipe, which was full of flavor and enticing aromas. It was a tasty meal, and a perfect introduction into South African cuisine. I certainly plan to make another dish or two soon – does anyone have recommendations?
If you wish to browse other South African recipes, check out Meeta's Monthly Mingle – South Africa Roundup over at What's For Lunch, Honey? Those dishes all look inviting!
Gluten-Free Bobotie, adapted from Martha Stewart
3 T extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, chopped finely
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and chopped coarsely
2 T minced fresh ginger
Salt and pepper
1 t ground turmeric
1 1/2 T Madras curry powder
2 lbs ground beef or lamb (I used lean ground bison)
1/2 c (1 oz) slivered almonds, toasted
4 slices gluten-free bread, crusts removed (I used Udi's whole grain sandwich bread)
1 3/4 c whole milk
2 T mango chutney (or apricot preserves)
2 T fresh lemon juice
4 large eggs
1/8 t freshly ground nutmeg
1 t finely grated lemon zest
4 dry bay leaves
Cilantro and mango chutney as accompaniments (Martha also suggests lemon or lime wedges and unsweetened coconut)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Add onions, apple, and ginger, and season with salt and pepper. Saute for about 10 minutes or until soft and golden brown. Add turmeric and curry powder and stir to combine. Add the ground meat, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 10 minutes or until cooked through. Stir in almonds and cook for 2 more minutes.
Tear the bread into large pieces and place in a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and let stand until the milk is absorbed. Add the bread mixture to the ground meat and cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes. Stir in mango chutney and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Alta, I've been wanting to play soccer for awhile now. I used to play in high school but that was many moons ago, lol! This dish looks so yummy and you better believe I'll be watching the World Cup!! Maybe with this :d YUMM!
I like the name Bobotie. It looks like an amzing dish. I used to follow soccer matches growing up but haven't been keeping up for a while.
Wow, this looks great! I always love and appreciate the information you present. I always get a new wrinkle in my brain!!
It sounds as though the level of excitement and anticipation about World Cup soccer is just as high in your house as it is in mine. This dish is a fantastic way to celebrate the cuisine of South Africa. I'm definitely going to make this for my family.
Yes! On Friday I will lose my TV to World Cup. I have only a passing interest in the game but the husband is a fanatic. Love the casserole.
I love that I never know what type of recipe I will find here at Tasty Eats, Alta! Looks delicious and thanks for all the info. The indoor soccer league sounds wonderful. Soccer was our focus for years. Son played from an early age through high school. We loved going to his games.
We LOVE European soccer too. But we love Liverpool. We won't hate if you won't HAHA. I have been wanting to make Bobotie to learn more about South African cuisine but my husband doesn't like ANY of the ingredients. Okay, he would eat the meat, and that's abotu it. So I will live vicariously through your dish because it looks DELISH!
Terrific! GREG
What a great way to 'explore' the world. I have many great memories of the foods of South Africa, especially those that migrated from India.
Nice way to kick off the World Cup. Can't wait for it to start this Friday. Woohoo!!!!
Where do you find the time? I'm so impressed – it looks absolutely fabulous.
I wish that I could say I knew the game was going to be on but when it comes to sports, everything seems to go in one ear and out the other with me.
I love the combination of sweet and savory spices. This looks like a great dish to kick off the big game! Everyone in this house is excited about the World Cup too!
I've never heard of this before… so fascinating! I love that every time I read your posts, I learn something new!
I am also excited that the world cup is just round the corner….A big applause for South Africa!
Bobotie is a completely new dish to me…looks very tempting.
I so miss bobotie and love love love your version of it. The addition of mango chutney, almonds, and coriander is a masterstroke and makes yours very special indeed. I was in South Africa during the multi-year run up to the World Cup and wish I was there with you now for the real thing! Go Bafana-Bafana!
I love the idea of exploring other cuisines to help me be a part of my husband's sports focus (um, obsession, hobby, etc.:) – only partly kidding!). Thanks Alta, for suggesting a new way to look at this part of my life:). We could even do it within the US – for example, the Celtics just played the Lakers (can't believe I even know that!). To munch on during the game, I could've made something Boston-like and something LA-like! Not sure what that would be, but by golly, I think I've got the hang of this new game!!!
Wow! I've never even heard of this dish. It sounds delicious!
What a great post! Love the soccer information. It's nice to have some sports talk along with the food talk. And did I mention how incredible this African dish looks?! Wow, this looks and sounds delicious.
Good one, Alta.
My first love is Jesus…then my wife of 45 years…then cooking. I really enjoyed looking over you blog. I am now a follower of yours. Feel free to look over my blog and perhaps become one as well on my blog.
Over here at http://worldcupfoodchallenge.blogspot.com, we've integrated a similar recipe for bobotie into a menu that incorporates all of the flavors of tomorrow's game day – South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay and France!
I like football but not a big fan! But I'll join my hubby to watch the game untill midnight though. =) Btw, this bobotie sounds really interesting and it really does has such strong flavour to kick up the appetite. The recipe is actually sound a little like those Chinese savory steamed egg with meat. But alot more creamier. I bet it taste fantastic! Hope you're having a wonderful time and enjoy the game with your family.
Blessings, Kristy
Yeah World Cup !!! and of course even a bigger yeah to this dish. It looks amazing
What a fabulous tribute to the Cup! I'm inspired! Go USA!!

Weatherford Democrat
By CHRISTIN COYNE
PARKER COUNTY – A company using treated sewage product as an unconventional fertilizer has many near Springtown up in arms.
Area residents say they've been driven indoors and dealt with days or weeks of a foul odor sometimes carrying for miles with the wind. Some are concerned about the health and environmental effects of the stinky, dark sludge blanketing pastures and attracting large numbers of flies.
"Dumping of human waste" State Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, called it in a statement released last week after his office received complaints.
But the company that applied the sludge – officially designated Class A biosolids – to approximately 200 acres of pastureland on Hutcheson Ranch near Springtown over the past couple weeks says there is a waiting list for the product.
At $20 an acre, farmers have found that it's an environmentally friendly, cheaper and more long-term and effective way to fertilize their land, according to Ben Davis, manager of biosolids for Renda Environmental Inc.
The property manager leasing the land in Parker County had been on the waiting list for four years, according to Davis, who said Friday that Renda Environmental completed the project Thursday and left the property with no immediate plans to return.
Still, some area residents, unhappy to learn the process of putting treated sewage products on Parker County land is legal, are organizing to try to keep the stench away from their neighborhood for good.
What is it?
Renda Environmental has had a contract with the City of Fort Worth for about 20 years to handle the residuals management for water and wastewater treatment plants, according to Davis.
They handle the hauling, further processing, required testing and land application of the biosolids, or treated waste product, Davis said, adding that the City of Fort Worth has a permit allowing them to generate Class A biosolids.
Biosolids, or organic residual or treated and processed wastewater, must meet certain metal limits and certain pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements to be considered Class A, according to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
No permit is needed to apply the Class A sludge, TCEQ reported. Instead, the state must be notified of the intent to use biosolids on the property.
It's a slow-release fertilizer compared to other commercial fertilizers, feeding plants for several years and reconditioning the soil, Davis said.
"Its better for the environment. It's doesn't leach off," Davis said, adding that the salts are bound up in organic matter, unlike most commercial fertilizers.
"Odors typically go away fairly quickly, usually within a couple days after application," he said. Some are more sensitive to the smell than others, noting that the company's employees work around it every day.
Though it was placed on top of pastures at Hutcheson Ranch, they recommend tilling the sludge into the soil to conserve nitrogen and help with the odor, according to Davis.
"It is a really great product," Davis said. "There's a lot of misperception about it and that's understandable."
Davis said he believes that calling it "human waste" is inaccurate because it is has been treated to eliminate bacteria and pathogens.
"It's almost sterilized when we bring it out," Davis said.
"It's great for the environment," Davis said. "It's great for the soil. It really is a boost for the farmer."
Though Renda Environmental has applied the sludge in Parker County during previous years, including last year south of Weatherford, it isn't one of the primary areas they apply the treated sewage in North Texas.
They are more often in areas such as Johnson, Hill or Wise counties, according to Davis.
"We don't go into Parker County very much," Davis said, adding that it is difficult because of all the traffic lights.
Randy Williams, who lives on Arbor Trail, about a quarter mile away from the area being treated, said they noticed the smell the day after Memorial Day.
"It smelled like a hundred cattle died," Williams said, adding that they couldn't go out on the porch because of the strong, obnoxious odor.
The odor fluctuates with the wind, according to Williams.
Like others, Williams doesn't believe the sludge is safe and is concerned about the runoff into Browder Creek, which cuts through the property.
"I can't believe our government officials let something like this [occur]," Williams said, saying he wants the site remediated.
"This is a horrible thing," Williams said. "Laws have to change."
Parker County Commissioner George Conley has been working to stop the application after responding more than two weeks ago to a complaint from a down-wind friend, who lives north of U.S. Highway 199.
Following the smell about four miles south, Conley estimated, he found the source of the odor he described as smelling like a dead cow.
Conley said he called the county fire marshal and judge about the issue, only to find out the process is legal.
"I don't like it," Conley said. "I don't think it's safe."
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality reported receiving nine complaints from Parker County residents in recent weeks, while Conley said he received 50 to 100 complaints about the issue.
One TCEQ complainant stated that they couldn't eat or go outside because of the unbearable stench, that the smell makes them feel sick and there were flies by the millions.
Another complainant stated they cancelled a planned outside event because of the smell.
A third complainant stated that the smell made them gag and compared it to the smell of a "dead body in a septic tank."
"We take every precaution that we can to ensure that we're not causing any odors or other problems," Davis said, adding that they prefer the product to be tilled into the soil and try to be responsive to issues.
"It's tough," Davis said. "It's naturally going to have some odor to it."
Several complained of numerous flies that appeared to be attracted to the treated sewage. During a brief drive with open windows through a recently treated area, a Democrat reporter witnessed dozens of flies enter the vehicle within minutes.
Asked about the flies, Davis said that the product attracting flies was unlikely. He said quick lime is added to raise the pH level and deter the flies.
Conley noted vegetation in a field where the sludge was applied several days earlier appeared to have been "burned off" by the fertilizer, with small mesquite trees and other plants appearing wilted or killed.
However, Davis said he doubted the company's product caused an issue like that.
"This isn't material that's considered hot," Davis said.
"The DFW Region Office is conducting investigations based on receipt of nine complaints alleging nuisance odors from the land application of biosolids in an area of Parker County," Andrea Morrow, spokeswoman for TCEQ stated. "The DFW staff made an initial onsite investigation on June 5, 2013. The primary focus of our investigation is odor. During an odor investigation, we assess the frequency, intensity, duration and offensiveness of an odor to determine if nuisance conditions exist. During the June 5th investigation, very light, intermittent earthy odors of biosolids were observed at the properties of two of the complainants. Our investigation will also include an evaluation of Renda's operations to ensure all processing requirements are met."
TCEQ also reportedly collected samples of the biosolids for testing.
The state agency received many similar complaints in Wise County last month, many in the Boyd area, records show.
"We did document odor nuisance conditions during our investigation in Wise County which resulted in a referral for formal enforcement action including an assessment of administrative penalties," Morrow said of the Wise County investigation.
An individual landowner in Ellis County filed a petition with TCEQ last month to amend the sludge application regulations to prohibit land application of sludge in certain areas in or near cities.
The requested changes don't appear to apply to counties such as Parker. The proposal targets counties with more than 140,000 people and adjacent to counties with populations of more than 2 million, such as Tarrant, Denton, Collin and Ellis counties.
The petition is expected to go before the TCEQ commission on Tuesday and a change could be considered in a process that includes stakeholder meetings, adoption and publication of a draft rule, and a public comment period.
"My office will continue to monitor this situation and stay engaged in the rule-making process as it moves forward," King promised this week.
An outdoor town hall meeting to discuss the issue in Parker County has been scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday morning at the intersection of J.E. Woody Road and Hutcheson Hill Road. The Parker County Commissioner's Court is expected to attend, according to an agenda published Friday and Conley said that TCEQ has also been invited to attend.

Valparaiso at UIC - Friday, Oct. 30 - 7 p.m.
Coming Up for the Crusaders: The key Horizon League matchups just keep on coming for the Valparaiso men's soccer team, as it travels to UIC Friday night to try to secure a spot in the league championship and to move up the standings.
Fighting for Tournament Position: This year, for the first time, only the top six teams in the Horizon League standings will advance to the league championship, making each league contest that much more important. The Crusaders currently are in a tie for fourth place with ten points, and can clinch a berth in the tournament with a win or a tie in either of their last two league games, or a loss or a tie from either Milwaukee or Wright State in their respective final league games. Valpo is also still in the mix for a top-two seed, which would grant the Crusaders a bye into the tournament semifinal.
Roby Earns League Honors: Junior Roby Del Giudice became the first Crusader men's soccer player to earn the Horizon League's weekly Player of the Week accolade, as he received the honor last week on Oct. 19. Del Giudice picked up the award for his performance in Valpo's victory over then-league leader Green Bay, tallying his second marker of the season early in the second half against the Phoenix and then picked up the primary assist on the match-winner in overtime. The junior also was voted as 'The People's Choice' on the Horizon League Network last week as well.

Homes and business damaged while trains disrupted in the aftermath of UK storm
Updated 2:28pm Tuesday 24th December 2013 in News
Damage to a shop front in Eastern Esplanade, Thorpe Bay. Picture by Echo reader Jennifer Hunter-Jones
FALLEN trees and flooding are causing problems across south Essex thanks to Monday night's storm.
Commuters have been warned not to travel on the trains on Christmas Eve after severe damage was caused to tracks.
Greater Anglia yesterday said it would have trains running by 9am but has now said some will not be available until Tuesday afternoon.
C2C is running some services but have warned passengers to expect cancellations and delays until midday.
Fallen trees have been reported across the county and four people in Purfleet have been left homeless after the roof was blown from their home.
Firefighters worked throughout last night to secure the belongings in the home.
They were called to 90 weather incidents last night from damage caused by high winds to flooding on the roads and in people's homes.
Passengers were stuck on a train between Benfleet and Leigh due to a power failure just after 8.30pm last night and had to be walked off the train by staff after a wait of nearly an hour.
A freight train suffered a smashed windscreen when it hit a tree on the London-bound track between Stanford and Grays at 11.45pm.
Meanwhile flooding has closed Western Esplanade on Canvey.
Flood warnings have also been given in Wickford, with many Billericay residents saying roads are flooded.
Essex Police has asked all drivers to only travel if absolutely necessary.
UK Power Networks said around 1,800 homes in Essex were without power. They said they would be working to restore it to as many as possible in time for Christmas.

The trouble with announcements like this is that drivers consider it calling - wolf- and it dilutes the message.
When i lived in America we had so many evacuated storm warnings that people did not even bother to read them - then came the big one.

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
Federico Fellini's most well-known film and a classic of Italian cinema, 8 and 1/2 continues to stand-up as a trailblazing film that introduced viewers in 1963 to an overly self-conscious form of storytelling that mixes fiction, memoir and dreamy surrealism together as a prophetic statement about the nature of celebrity, the mass media and the pressure to create art even when uninspired. Self-referential, wildly imaginative and irreverent, this classic film points the finger at the film industry and increasingly aggressive media while humorously mocking the hollowness of fame. Poking fun at both himself and his critics (both Catholics and Communists), Fellini delights in highlighting the absurdity and emotional alienation of those forced into positions of creating successful commerce while their personal life grows increasingly dysfunctional.

Vt. economic growth lags behind nationBy Josh OGorman
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | June 19,2014A new federal report shows Vermonts economy grew at a slower rate than the rest of the nation in 2012.
The report from the Office of Advocacy for the U.S. Small Business Administration shows Vermonts gross state product increased by 1.2 percent in 2012, compared with the nation-wide average of 2.5 percent.
I would say were not growing quickly, said Darcy Carter, SBA director in Vermont. Were growing at a pretty slow rate, and thats the way its been the last few years.
The report also shows that private-sector employment rose by 0.7 percent in 2013, compared with growth of 2.1 percent for the country as a whole.
Slow growth among small businesses defined by the SBA as businesses with fewer than 500 employees is particularly troubling for Vermont, which has more small businesses per capita than the national average.
According to the report, approximately 157,000 or 59 percent of workers in the state are employed by small businesses, compared with the national average of 49 percent.
Two out of three new jobs are created by small businesses, the SBA says.
Still, there are some positive numbers for small-business owners and employees. During the third quarter of 2013, income from businesses owned by a sole proprietor increased by 7.6 percent, compared with the year before, to $2.3 billion.
Success of small business hinges on a number of factors, including community support. Hiata DeFeo, owner of Bridgeside Books in Waterbury, opened her shop five years ago this July with an SBA loan.
Waterbury is a great community and is very supportive of small businesses, DeFeo said. We are fortunate that we have such a variety and so much to choose from.
With two part-time employees, Bridgeside Books is among 23 percent of businesses in the state that employ less than 20 people. This group makes up the largest percentage of small businesses in the state, with 20 percent having 20-99 employees and 16 percent having 100-499 workers.
Businesses with 500 or more employees make up 41 percent of the states workforce.
Jamie Stewart, executive director of the Rutland Economic Development Corp., said small businesses in the state face a host of challenges, from transportation to energy and health care costs.
These things are impacting our ability to grow, but Vermont is not alone in this, Stewart said.
He noted the high ratio of small businesses in Vermont is an indication of the entrepreneurial spirit of the state.
There are strengths and weakness in any market and in any region in the country, but Vermont has always been good for small businesses because it fits into our way of life, Stewart said.
When looking at small-business longevity, Vermont is doing no better or worse than the national average. According to the report, 36 percent of business that opened in 2002 were still in business in 2012, compared with the national average of 34 percent.
When looking at businesses that opened in 2007 prior to the recession 47 percent were still operating in 2012, compared with the national average of 46 percent. During the second quarter of last year, 1,122 new small businesses opened, while 1,075 closed during the same time period.

Just Buffalo Literary Center, the 37-year-old institution dedicated to the creation and promotion of Western New York's literary culture, will award its latest Literary Legacy Awards to three prominent Western New Yorkers today (Feb. 23) in Babeville's Asbury Hall (341 Delaware Ave.).
The biennial awards ceremony and fundraising dinner will honor local poet and teaching artist Sherry Robbins and philanthropists Corinne and Victor Rice. Robbins, the author of the poetry collections "Snapshots of Paradise" and "Or, the Whale," has led thousands of creative writing workshops since she began to work with Just Buffalo in 1982. She was named New York State Teaching Artist of the Year in 2005.
Corinne and Victor Rice are longtime supporters of Just Buffalo's popular and growing Babel reading series as well as the Olmsted Parks Conservancy, Shaw Festival, Albright-Knox Art Gallery and many other local cultural and educational institutions. They've remained in Buffalo, a Just Buffalo release states, "because of a shared passion for the city and belief in its potential."

Scott Davis, Contributor
I transform brands, businesses, marketing —& people who power them
The Nobel laureate Linus Pauling is credited with this simple observation about innovation: "The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas and throw the bad ones away."
But here's a counterintuitive way to think about it: How about using the bad ideas – the very worst – as a starting point?
It's one way to go in the never-ending and always challenging quest for the kind of inspiration that sparks breakthrough, game-changing products, services, and offers – innovations that counter the commoditization trend and meet needs that people don't even know they had.
Finding and using the right tools to help get there is critical because the reality is that most business cultures and structures are essentially inhospitable to the free flow of ideas. Even when it's explicitly encouraged, particularly through group exercises, "brainstormings" and the like, human nature itself creates barriers. People don't want to look dumb in front of their colleagues, much less their bosses. They worry about tinkering with sacred cows. They put up boundaries that stifle the creative process.
"Worst Idea" is one of a variety of tools that can overcome the creative barriers by changing the frame of reference. Two others that also foster creativity and innovation are "The Human Library" and "Forced Connection."
Here are some instances of how they worked in practice.
The Wicked Spoon–an un-buffet
When The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas team was working on restaurant concepts, the obligatory (for Las Vegas) buffet came under discussion. In the context of the Worst Idea, this thought was posed: What if, instead of the mountains of food in the typical "all you can eat" spirit, you had a buffet offering tiny, bite-sized portions? The more the idea was explored, the more it started sounding like a good one that could align quite nicely with the Cosmopolitan's aim to reinvent the Las Vegas experience.
Today, The Wicked Spoon offers a far different interpretation of the buffet than anyone else with its emphasis on individual versus mass servings of everything from desserts to fries to Osso Bucco.
As USA Today food columnist Larry Olmsted put it: "The effect is slick and professional, and while you can still eat as much as you want, more rationally-sized individual servings make most patrons try smaller portions of more different things, sort of a forced culinary adventure."
Charles Schwab – borrowing from different playbooks
In seeking out ways to solidify client partnerships and improve internal collaboration, borrowing from a "Human Library" provided the genesis for hundreds of ideas to inspire Charles Schwab's thinking and strategy.
It was a key part of an ideation workshop to help Schwab play to win in the transitional retirement market, and it involved bringing in individuals from outside the company and industry to share their perspectives on what they do and how they do it. They included a domestic concierge, a life coach, a career counselor, and a volunteer services coordinator, all with different areas of expertise and new ideas.
Take the domestic concierge. By sharing how she uses very targeted questions to understand the client's broader needs without being too pushy, she provided insights on a skill that would be valuable for Schwab investment advisors, for example.
From this Human Library, people walked away with a lot of "aha moments," learnings and applicable ideas for Schwab as it moved forward in its quest to reinvent retirement.
Next: How Timberland used forced connections to reinvent a product line.
There is quite a bit more to why people and organizations resist innovation.
The biggest reason for resistance is simply that new ideas upset applecarts large and small because they redistribute status, power and resources. Those on the losing end will mostly be unhappy, and some will try to maintain the status quo by destruction – stopping any change.
There is usually a high degree of risk associated with big changes. The greatest rewards go to those who take on the risk and succeed. Others who are ambitious but lack the guts to take risks will will react very negatively to others who are tougher, who disrupt the paths to success and who get big rewards.
As we have found out at isee-systems.com you can never assume that a concept or idea isn't new. And just because it's simple, doesn't it mean it can't be patented.
As a fellow Forbes.com contributor, thanks for noticing my USA Today weekly food column! To further support your premise regarding Cosmopolitan's reinvention of a rather staid Vegas tradition, Wicked Spoon was selected as a Vegas Top 10 "must try"here at Forbes by my guest expert, Bon Appetit magazine's restaurant editor: http://www.forbes.com/sites/larryolmsted/2011/10/28/part-2-insider-info-las-vegas-10-hottest-restaurants/

750ml bottle into tulip. Batch #11, bottled 10/17/13. Thanks again AutumnBeerLove!
A: Pours a lightly hazy dark iced-tea color with a couple fingers of off-white head that slowly faded into a lasting collar. Wispy of clinging lace were left down the glass.
S: Peppercorns and rosehips are strongly noticeable on the nose, but the rosemary is in there as well. I get a mild sweetness, which I assume is the honey. There's something in there that reminds me of balsamic vinegar – probably the rosehips. However, the combined ingredients smell a bit plasticy and rough.
T: Not as rough as the nose, but the rosehips do add that strange vinegary-floral taste. The pink pepper corns and a nice peppery layer of spice, and the rosemary comes through with hints of its characteristic flavor in the finish. The aftertaste has a blast of tart vinegar and rough acetone, as well as a lingering spiciness.
M: Medium body, slick and greasy mouthfeel with a harsh acetonic finish. Carbonation is fairly smooth but kicks up in the finish and really tingles my tongue.
O: My least favorite from the five or so beers I've had from the brewery. Flavors are not bad, but the harsh vinegar and plasticy acetone make this hard to drink, and the carbonation doesn't help.

Poured from a corked & caged 750 mL bottle into a Brewer's Art goblet. Moderate hand. Bottled on: 4/1/14. Another take away from a trip to the brewery. I don't believe it was available on tap.
A: Cloudy amber body with orange tints at the periphery. 1 finger white head. Ok retention. Minimal lacing.
S: Fruity, floral Belgian yeast. Lemon juice. Peppercorn. Herbs. Rosemary. With effort I can pick out each listed ingredient, but taken together they create a harmonious, cohesive whole.
T: Lightly spicy initially with herbal and floral notes. A mild bitterness and tartness simultaneously develop to a semi-dry finish. A pleasant herbal astringency lingers on the palate. The tartness beckons another sip. Alcohol is light for 8%.
M: Moderate carbonation and moderate body that well suits the flavors.
O: Really nice saison with a bit extra tartness than average. Very impressed with much of Night Shift's stuff. Too bad I only grabbed the one.

This saison is very underrated. Reading the other reviews, I expected kind of a mess. But this beer is more balanced than I thought it would be. There are many strong flavors going on here, but they work well together.
My bottle had a handwritten date of 4/1/14, and a handwritten ABV of 8.3%. This must be a different batch, because it's listed as 7.6% on BA.
It's certainly possible that this is a new and improved version. To me, this is a very robustly flavored saison that manages to have a semblance of balance. I've never seen a beer brewed with pink peppercorns before, but they might just be the perfect ingredient that no one else is using. They provide just a hint of spice, and probably contribute to the nice dryness that compliments the yeast character.
There's a lot going on here; the rosemary is there, but faintly. The rosehips shine and give it a long, lingering sweet aftertaste that contrasts the dryness nicely.
This reminds me very much of Cellar Door's White Sage Saison. Obviously, this is a brewery that isn't afraid to change up recipes and improve their beers. In my opinion, this blows more highly rated saisons out of the water. I'm thinking about Hill Farmstead/Grassroots Brother Soigne here. I'm hope that I'm not the only one who appreciates this recently re-tooled brew!

Flavor is mild pepper, honey, herbs; Aroma and flavor boast a strong rosemary presence. Body feels light even though it clocks in at 8%. Is there such a thing as extreme floridness? Regardless, very tasty indeed.
