Brooks Howell connected with Drew Sherrow on a 14-yard TD pass to pull Silver Creek even with North Harrison at 28-28 with 4:53 left.
The Dragons left North Harrison too much time.
The Cougars took the ball, drove down the field and set up Jack Phelps' 22-yard field goal as time expired to give North Harrison its second straight win after an 1-4 start.
The Cougars rushed for 299 yards on 47 carries, including touchdown runs of 50, 10 and 63 from Brandon Craig.
A Craig touchdown gave the Cougars a 6-0 lead after one quarter, but Bobby Haines' 41-yards TD run and Cameron Cook's PAT gave Creek its first lead early in the second quarter. After Craig's second score, Howell hit Austin Hasting on a 35-yard scoring strike to get the Dragons within 14-13 at the break.
Creek took the lead again with 4:11 to go in the third on a Howell-to-Cook 10-yard score, but Craig broke loose for a 63-yard TD run with 2:19 left in the third and it was tied at 21-apiece heading into the final quarter.
Austin Nevil scored the Cougars' fourth rushing touchdown from 4 yards out to give North Harrison the lead against with 7:25 left before the Howell-to-Sherrow TD that evened the score again.
Howell completed 13 of his 22 pass attempts for 187 yards in the loss.

Capital Flows, Contributor
Guest commentary curated by Forbes Opinion. Avik Roy, Editor.
By Angelo Codevilla
On January 1, 2013 one third of Republican congressmen, following their leaders, joined with nearly all Democrats to legislate higher taxes and more subsidies for Democratic constituencies. Two thirds voted no, following the people who had elected them. For generations, the Republican Party had presented itself as the political vehicle for Americans whose opposition to ever-bigger government financed by ever-higher taxes makes them a "country class." Yet modern Republican leaders, with the exception of the Reagan Administration, have been partners in the expansion of government, indeed in the growth of a government-based "ruling class." They have relished that role despite their voters. Thus these leaders gradually solidified their choice to no longer represent what had been their constituency, but to openly adopt the identity of junior partners in that ruling class. By repeatedly passing bills that contradict the identity of Republican voters and of the majority of Republican elected representatives, the Republican leadership has made political orphans of millions of Americans. In short, at the outset of 2013 a substantial portion of America finds itself un-represented, while Republican leaders increasingly represent only themselves.
By the law of supply and demand, millions of Americans, (arguably a majority) cannot remain without representation. Increasingly the top people in government, corporations, and the media collude and demand submission as did the royal courts of old. This marks these political orphans as a "country class." In 1776 America's country class responded to lack of representation by uniting under the concept: "all men are created equal." In our time, its disparate sectors' common sentiment is more like: "who the hell do they think they are?"
The ever-growing U.S. government has an edgy social, ethical, and political character. It is distasteful to a majority of persons who vote Republican and to independent voters, as well as to perhaps one fifth of those who vote Democrat. The Republican leadership's kinship with the socio-political class that runs modern government is deep. Country class Americans have but to glance at the Media to hear themselves insulted from on high as greedy, racist, violent, ignorant extremists. Yet far has it been from the Republican leadership to defend them. Whenever possible, the Republican Establishment has chosen candidates for office – especially the Presidency – who have ignored, soft-pedaled or given mere lip service to their voters' identities and concerns.
Thus public opinion polls confirm that some two thirds of Americans feel that government is "them" not "us," that government has been taking the country in the wrong direction, and that such sentiments largely parallel partisan identification: While a majority of Democrats feel that officials who bear that label represent them well, only about a fourth of Republican voters and an even smaller proportion of independents trust Republican officials to be on their side. Again: While the ruling class is well represented by the Democratic Party, the country class is not represented politically – by the Republican Party or by any other. Well or badly, its demand for representation will be met.
Representation is the distinguishing feature of democratic government. To be represented, to trust that one's own identity and interests are secure and advocated in high places, is to be part of the polity. In practice, any democratic government's claim to the obedience of citizens depends on the extent to which voters feel they are party to the polity. No one doubts that the absence, loss, or perversion of that function divides the polity sharply between rulers and ruled.
Representation can be perverted. Some regimes (formerly the Communists, and currently the Islamists) allow dissent from the ruling class to be represented only by parties approved by the ruling class. Also, in today's European Union the ruling class' wide spread and homogeneity leaves those who do not like how their country is run with no one to represent them. Though America's ruling class is neither as narrow as that of Communist regimes nor as broadly preclusive as that of the European Union, the Republican leadership's preference for acting as part of the ruling class rather than as representatives of voters who feel set upon has begun to produce the sort of soft pre-emption of opposition and bitterness between rulers and ruled that occurs necessarily wherever representation is mocked.
To see how America' country class can be represented, let us glance at how the current division of American politics into a ruling class and a country class came about and why it is inherently unstable.
Ins and Outs
Those who attribute the polarization of American politics to the partisan drawing of congressional districts at the state level have a point: The Supreme Court's decision in Baker v. Carr (1962) inadvertedly legalized gerrymandering by setting "one man one vote" as the sole basis of legitimacy for drawing legislative districts. Subsequent judicial interpretations of the 1965 Voting Rights Act demanded that districts be drawn to produce Congressmen with specific features. No surprise then that Democratic and Republican legislatures and governors, thus empowered, have drawn the vast majority of America's Congressional districts to be safe for Democrats or Republicans respectively. Such districts naturally produce Congressmen who represent their own party more than the general population. This helped the parties themselves to grow in importance. But the U.S. Senate and state governments also have polarized because public opinion in general has.
Political partisanship became a more important feature of American life over the past half-century largely because the Democratic Party, which has been paramount within the U.S. government since 1932, entrenched itself as America's ruler, and its leaders became a ruling class. This caused a Newtonian "opposite reaction," which continues to gather force.
In our time, the Democratic Party gave up the diversity that had characterized it since Jeffersonian times. Giving up the South, which had been its main bastion since the Civil War as well as the working classes that had been the heart of its big city machines from Boston to San Diego, it came to consist almost exclusively of constituencies that make up government itself or benefit from government. Big business, increasingly dependent on government contracts and regulation, became a virtual adjunct of the contracting agents and regulators. Democrats' traditional labor union auxiliaries shifted from private employees to public. Administrators of government programs of all kinds, notably public assistance, recruited their clientele of dependents into the Party's base. Democrats, formerly the party of slavery and segregation, secured the allegiance of racial minorities by unrelenting assertions that the rest of American society is racist. Administrators and teachers at all levels of education taught two generations that they are brighter and better educated than the rest of Americans, whose objections to the schools' (and the Party's) prescriptions need not be taken seriously.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of American education's centralization, intellectual homogenization and partisanship in the formation of the ruling class' leadership. Many have noted the increasing stratification of American society and that, unlike in decades past, entry into its top levels now depends largely on graduation from elite universities. As Charles Murray has noted, their graduates tend to marry one another, perpetuating what they like to call a "meritocracy." But this is rule not by the meritorious, rather by the merely credentialed – because the credentials are suspect. As Ron Unz has shown, nowadays entry into the ivied gateways to power is by co-option, not merit. Moreover, the amount of study required at these universities leaves their products with more pretense than knowledge or skill. The results of their management– debt, decreased household net worth, increased social strife – show that America has been practicing negative selection of elites.
Nevertheless as the Democratic Party has grown its constituent parts into a massive complex of patronage, its near monopoly of education has endowed its leaders ever more firmly with the conviction that they are as entitled to deference and perquisites as they are to ruling. The host of its non-governmental but government-financed entities, such as Planned Parenthood and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, argue for government funding by stating, correctly, that they are pursuing the public interest as government itself defines it.
Thus by the turn of the twenty first century America had a bona fide ruling class that transcends government and sees itself at once as distinct from the rest of society – and as the only element thereof that may act on its behalf. It rules – to use New York Times columnist David Brooks' characterization of Barack Obama – "as a visitor from a morally superior civilization." The civilization of the ruling class does not concede that those who resist it have any moral or intellectual right, and only reluctantly any civil right, to do so. Resistance is illegitimate because it can come only from low motives. President Obama's statement that Republican legislators – and hence the people who elect them – don't care whether "seniors have decent health care…children have enough to eat" is typical.
Republican leaders neither parry the insults nor vilify their Democratic counterparts in comparable terms because they do not want to beat the ruling class, but to join it in solving the nation's problems. How did they come to cut such pathetic figures?
The Republican Party never fully adapted itself to the fact that modern big government is an interest group in and of itself, inherently at odds with the rest of society, that it creates a demand for representation by those it alienates, and hence that politicians must choose whether to represent the rulers or the ruled. The Republican Party had been the party of government between the Civil War and 1932. But government then was smaller in size, scope, and pretense. The Rockefellers of New York and Lodges of Massachusetts – much less the Tafts of Ohio – did not aspire to shape the lives of the ruled, as does modern government. Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal largely shut these Republicans out of the patronage and power of modern government.
By the late 1930s, being out of power had begun to make the Republicans the default refuge of voters who did not like what the new, big government was doing. Some Republican leaders – the Taft wing of the Party – adopted this role. The Rockefeller wing did not. Though the latter were never entirely comfortable with the emerging Democratic ruling class, their big business constituency pressed them to be their advocate to it. A few such Republicans (e.g. Kevin Philips The Emerging Republican Majority) even dreamed during the Nixon-Ford Administration of the 1970s that they might replace Democrats at the head of the ruling class. But the die had been cast long since: Corporations, finance, and the entitled high and low – America's "ins" – gravitated to the Democrats' permanent power, while the "outs" fled into the Republican fold. Thus after WWII the Republican Party came to consist of office holders most of who yearned to be "ins," and of voters who were mostly "outs."
This internal contradiction was unsustainable. The Republican leadership, regarding its natural constituency as embarrassing to its pursuit of a larger role in government, limited its appeal to it. Thus it gradually cut itself off from the only root of the power by which it might gain that role. Thus the Republicans proved to be "the stupid party."
With the exception of the Reagan Administration? Are you kidding me? When Reagan took office, we were merely $9Billion in debt, when he left, we had a debt of $2.7 TRILLION. How do you figure that an increase of almost 300% is NOT an expansion of government??
This article provides a strong intellectual case for the Conservative Party USA. CP-USA was founded on the principle that the two major parties have failed America and this article tells you why, in part. But Republicans share most of that blame because they always tell us they're conservative but run Congress like Democrats.
Please visit: www.conservativepartyusa.org
Probably the best article I've read on Forbes in quite sometime. I can definitely say that Dr. Codevilla has done an excellent job of summarizing the feelings of many middle class Americans, myself included.
I am extremely interested to see if a third party can successfully overthrow the Republican establishment in the next several years. While it seems inevitable, the electoral college – as Dr. Codevilla pointed out – makes it difficult if not impossible for a third party candidate to make any headway in the presidential election. This revolution of sorts needs to start in Congress. The only question is whether the movement is spearheaded by frustrated voters electing candidates from existing third parties, or if the non-establishment Republicans wise up and unite to form their own party.
I love your self image as the righteous black man holding up the image of the evil founding fathers, and trying to push this white guilt trip.
And don't talk your 2nd grade version of history Mr righteous black man. Very few Americans have ancestors who owned slaves. They don't have any collective guilt and obligation to be taxed and to go into national debt purgatory to pay reparations to black farmers, and for vast welfare and medical scams for the parasitic class who refuse to do the jobs that they are qualified to do. Whatever those jobs are. Even they are limited to jobs like picking cotton or cleaning bathrooms.
There is one thing that bothers me and does not seem to be explained. If two thirds of the Republican congresspeople are conservative, why did they elect and reelect a country-club-Republican like John Boeher as their leader?
It's not because they like Boehner. But he's in charge of the scraps that are thrown from the king's table, and he can hurt them if they don't line up properly for their share.
remember, 240 some years ago, our forefathers brought fore on these shores a new nation. The reason they did that was because the government of the time wanted to disarm them…we now have 3 states (Colorado, Minnasota, Wisconsin) who have bills pending that will allow the government to confiscate legally owned firearms…think about that.
In April 1775, 77 men stood on a village green in a small town and told the government "you shall not pass"…what would those men think today about the government we've allowed to bloat out of control? What would those men think about a government that was planning to break into law abiding citizen's homes to sieze legally owned weapons?
Are we lesser men and women now? Do we lack to stature to stand up to government's attempts to tyranize us?
Something to ponder…
WOW! What a great piece. The professor is talking about me. I'm sick to death of these candy asses in DC purporting to represent and especially sick of Boehner and Mitchell. Jesus these guys are going along with the economic destruction of this country. They should be shouting EVERY DAY this spending is death for us. Instead, they abandon my values and principles.
I'd love Sarah Palin to sit these Roveistas down and tell them if she doesn't get the nomination, she's going 3rd party and will oppose both parities. Me and millions of fed up Americans just like me will STOP OUR LIVES and work our asses off for her.
I'll tell you this, I finally understand why so many conservatives sat on their hands in 2012. If Jeb Bush is nominated, I will not vote Republican top of the ticket.
Thanks for the article.

Good article. But he is missing something very important.
Give this movie 5 minutes of your time and you won't be able to walk away….
Most important movie I have ever watched and its a shame less then a half a million Americans have ever been exposed to it.
No conspiracies. Just verifiable facts that everyone should know…it connects all the dots in how we got here
Watch it. Share it. Arrange a showing in church, groups, clubs, with friends or family. Everyone who loves America needs to see this movie,
It is free on line for the moment
If America goes down, the free world will go down with it and it will be finished for a very, very long time…

What I'm doing right now is basically a modified WBB#1. I first started lifting last spring and progressed through summer, but at that time I really didn't have any clue what the heck I was doing so I didn't gain much. I started out doing legs, upper body, and plyometrics, until I hurt my knee so I only did upperbody. Bleh. Then I quit for the duration of Soccer season, and started up again. Since then I started doing more freeweights and stuff but still only upperbody. Then sometime during January I took the WBB#1 template and messed around with it for a bit. So I am finally doing legs, and I like it, but they're obviously weaker proportionately compared to my upperbody. Anyways.

I actually took them just yesterday, but whatever. Yep... I need to gain some weight, just look at that stomach in Pic #1. I've been cursed with that ceral-bowl for a while now <_<
I drank about 4-quarts of water throughout the day and got plenty to eat.

DB Incline Press: 6, 6, 6 (30's)
Chin ups: 8, 7, 6
Dissapointed with the bench. Last week I did 6, 6, 4 at 125, I thought I'd do better, but that's how it goes. Deads were easy, but I don't want to move up in weight too fast since I've only been doing them for about 2 weeks. First time doing weighted dips, went pretty well although I'm not too happy with the belt I just bought, it's one-size-fits-all and fits me very loosely, I was afraid it might fall off. Still struggling with the incline press, I've been doing them for maybe 4 weeks and I haven't moved up in weight once, although I could stand to next week. Chin ups, what can I say, I'm new to these too.
All in all I'm satisfied, just a little dissapointed with my Bench and DB Press. Also, I decided to move Shrugs to Wednesday.
CG Bench: 6, 6, 6 (120)
BB Preacher Curl: 6, 6, 6 (70)
Standing Pushdown: 6, 6, 6 (80)
Hammer Curl: 6, 5 (35's)
Shrugs: 20, 15, 15 (35's)
What to say... Well I didn't put it down cuz it was such a failure but I tried abs today.
I put a 30 pound straight bar behind my head, jumped on the incline ab bench, did a rep, and hurt myself! ^_^ Not seriously or anything just enough so that my right oblique is sore. Mental note: stob being a ****** and work up slower
Shrugs...gah, I don't like them. But I can deal. That's why the weight is so low just now, if I go much higher my form suffers.
Good stuff so far man. It looks like we're in about the same situation as far as our starting stats and goals, although by your pictures and first 2 workouts you seem to be a little ahead of me, but we're both around 6'1-6'2, 150s and looking to gain some serious strength. It's good to have someone else on here thats around my level, and even cooler that we're both using basically the same routine (WBB#1) because reading all these journals of people benching 270 and deadlifting 400 can be discouraging at times. Good luck with your training and hopefully we'll both be up there with those other big guys soon!
Nice of the two of you to post in my journal, feedback is always nice!
Leg day, whoopee.
Squats 6-all (135)
Hack Squats 6-all (135)
SL Deads 6-all (135)
Leg Curls 6-all (35)
Calf Extensions 12-all (115)
Pretty simple. i'm still building up slow so I don't do something stupid and end up in a hospital bed. Everything was pretty easy except for Squats, I hate having to hold the bar so low on my back, it feels so unnatural and makes my shoulders hurt. But enough whining, I'll live
Umm...nothing to say.
I notice that I made a mistake in my last workout report. I actually curled 70. Don't know what I was thinking...
Bench 4, 4, 2 (135)
Chinups 8, 8, 6 (BW)
Incline DB Press 6, 6 (35's)
BO DB Rows 6, 6, 4 (55's)
Deadlifts 6, 6, 6 (175)
Friggin' Bench. Didn't do dips because I forgot my dip belt, like the idiot I am. -_-
Nice chinups man! I don't know if it's just me that sucks or if you're especially good at those, but you're only 10 ahead on bench and 20 ahead on deadlifts yet you can do 3 sets of 8 chinups where as I can only do like 2 sets of 2, maybe 3. Great job with those chins hopefully I can catch up soon.
You are doing chinups (as opposed to pullups), right? I imagine I couldn't do near as many pullups.
So today I feel like garbage. I've had a nonstop stomach ache for the past 24+ hours, and I don't have the slightest clue why. I'm postponing my workout until tomorrow.
Nah man, underhand grip (towards you).Chinups are the ones with your palms facing away from you right?
So it's Wednesday, and I'm pissed >_>
I've missed FOUR WORKOUTS. I've been really really really sick. I do plan on starting again Friday, but damn, four workputs. It's terrible that I've lost those and I can't do anything about it. Damn.
Squats 6-all (135)
SL Deads 6-all (155)
Hack Squats 6-all (155)
Calves 15-15-15 (115)
As far as how I felt... still tired. I was breathing hard after sets. I felt weaker, but since I was still building up my legs before I got sick, it was hard to tell.
I didn't do curls cuz some was crowding the machine I wanted, and I didn't really want to hang around any longer cuz I was really tired...so lazy of me, I know, but I think I can live with myself.
Squats are HELL. My spotter tells me to hold the bar low on my back, cuz if I hold it too high I'll hurt my neck eventually. His advice soudns good, but as it is my shoulders are getting ripped out of their sockets. I'm gonna watch some vids tonight and make sure my form is right.
Also, I lost some weight. I don't know how much, but probably 3 pounds. Dammit <_<
I probably whine a lot in this blog thing, but contrary to how I type my spirits are highe nough right now.

Bench 4, 3, 2 (125)
Chinups 8, 8, 4 (BW)
Dips 4, 2, 3 (25)
Deads 6-all (175)
BO DB Rows 6-all (50's)
So, wtf bench. I know I was sick but this is ridiculous, but I digress. Other than that I guess it was good having just been sick. So yeah.
CG Bench 6,6,4 (115)
P Curls 6,6,4 (65)
Standing Tri Pushdowns 6-all (75)
H Curls 4,4,3 (35's)
Shrugs 12-all (45's)
Incline Ab Crunch 8-all (15)
I've obviously gotten weaker as far as wednesdays are concerned. Most noticable are the H Curls. Blaaaaaaah
I don't know if I posted this yet but I actually lost 5 pounds when I was sick. Yikes.
Hi...nice lifting and remember to keep eating...check out my journal if you want to look at another skinny guy.
Leg Curls: 6-all (70)
Squats: 6,6,4 (135)
Hacks: 6-all (185)
SL Deads: 3,3,4 (185)
Calves: 12-all (135)
All I can say is my upper body is letting me down. When I'm squatting it seems I can choose between moderately painful (yet ultimately more detrimental to my health, I think) neck pain or excrutiating pain in my shoulder joints. It's not at all that the weight is too heavy, I had to rack up before I could finish for fear that I would strain something in my arm/shoulder region. As for SL Deads, I let up early every time cuz my grip was breaking...I had problems with my fore-arms a while back, and although they don't bother me any more a side-effect is that I have horrendously weak grip.
I don't know how to fix this...off to make a thread elsewhere and see if I can get some advice I guess!
where are you placing the bar? it shouldnt be on your neck, it should be on your traps.
I realize that. I can't for the life of me keep it on my traps though, it slides down when I make the squatting motion until it's halfway down my back. I think it might be weak shoulders, cuz my shoulders are screwed as hell, but who knows.
Either way I got some advice on it and I'll try next Friday.
Nice topic about bar placement. Actually, I bet everyone knew that stuff except me, but then again I'm fine with that, this can be like a memo-to-self
Bench: 5,4,3 (125)
Chinups: 4,3,3 (20)
Incline Press: 6-all (30's)
Deads: 6-all (185)
Dips: 5,4,3 (20)
BO DB Rows: 6-all (50's)
Bench is slowly getting better, although I lol at the fact that I was stronger about 6 weeks ago. First day of weighted chinups, not bad I think. Incline, reluctantly moved down to 30's and completed it easily...why can't I just do 35's again? >_> Deads, while I can still do these fairly easily, they tire me out like nothing else. Dips, moved down from 25, it barely shows, will I ever get used to these? <_< DB Rows, stayed at 50 even though I completed it last week...when I do it with 50's I still have trouble keeping me back straight for every rep, maybe I'll stay here a little longer.
Good workout.

Penn will play its final Big 5 opponent in its last non-conference game of the season against Temple on Wednesday. Penn (7-7, 0-1 Ivy) will be looking for its first win against Temple (7-10) since 2003. For this edition of Behind Enemy Lines, I spoke with Owls' head coach Tonya Cardoza about notching her 100th win in less than five years and the youth of her 2012-2013 squad.
This season, you reached a landmark, you got your 100th win. What does that mean to you?
Cardoza: It means a lot. Obviously every game that you go into you want to win and the fact that I've been able to do it in four and a half years, it's just a credit to the kids that I've coached and the staff that I've had surrounding me. It feels good to get that out of the way. The last month or so, knowing that we were so close, it was finally good to get that one win. It means a lot because it's a milestone a lot of people are not able to reach and the fact that I've been able to do it, like I said, in four and a half years I'm happy with that.
You've obviously had a very successful couple of seasons at Temple and I know this season is a little different. You have a very young team. It's the second most inexperienced in Division I. How has that affected your level of play and goals for the season?
Cardoza: Obviously our goals have to change and as we came into the season our expectation was to still do the same things we've done in the past and we haven't been able to do that. We haven't reached the same level of success up to this point but everyday, we are young, and everyday we have to get better because we're also building for the future. We haven't had a lot of wins but everyday in practice we're trying to get better with the hopes that it carries over down the stretch and that we're able to make a run for it.
But it's been something different, something that obviously none of us have been used to because we haven't lost many games here so we're not going to be accustomed to losing as well. We know that we are young, and we do have a lot of inexperience but sometimes it's not about inexperience it's just about what effort you give and I think there's sometimes that we've lost games this year, not because we were young, just because we didn't do little things.

SHAWNEE — A few minutes before 9 p.m. DJ Gasso bounced a ball to Owasso third baseman Trae Bobo, who fired it across the diamond to Ram first baseman Austin O'Brien.
It happened about six hours to the minute after nobody cared to corral a soccer ball and throw it back into play deep in Timberwolves' territory at Noble Stadium. Only seconds remained and the Edmond North net was 110 yards away, so why bother?
In between, Haley Woodard won a couple of state titles in Yukon, again making it clear she's the best long sprinter this city's ever seen. Also, on the Millers' home track, the T-Wolves' boys 400 relay team won a state title.
So ends Norman North's 2012-2013 athletic year.
It was a tough day because everybody expects the North boys to win every soccer game they'll ever play and, even if nobody figured the T-Wolves would stop Owasso's amazing unbeaten season on the diamond, losing's never easy when you're one of the last two standing.
But it was a great year.
Let us count the ways.
Fall produced a football team that took down everybody but Jenks. Winter produced a girls basketball team that reached the state tournament, not to mention 160-pound Levi Berry, who won it all on the mat.
The space of time that is partly winter and partly spring, yet has no name, produced a state champion boys swimming team.
Spring produced a girls soccer team that won a district championship, a boys soccer team that made it to the season's final day for the third time in four seasons and settled for runner-up status a year after winning it all, and a baseball team that played for the city's first state diamond championship since Jack Harvey's NHS Tigers won it all in 1995 (Harvey, by the way, was in North's dugout in Shawnee on Saturday; that's the split for you).

Great first post twinktwink and please don't go into hiding we need energy like this on the thread, lol I don't feel so pessimistic anymore.Hi everyone,
I'm coming out of the safety of 3 years spent lurking on this forum because I can't bare to see such great fans getting themselves so down.
For some reason I've always been a bit chicken about posting on here myself, everyone has always seemed so knowledgeable that I've never known when to step into the fray.
I've been a huge V/M fan since 2008 and give them sole credit for drawing me back into figure skating after losing a little interest in it since Yagudin and A/P retired.
Everyone that has posted on the V/M threads over the years has always kept me highly entertained and I respect each of your views very much.
With so many of you being so worried for our wonderful team I felt like it was time to come out of hiding and do what I can to lift the mood back up a bit
I do understand where all the worrying is coming from, I haven't liked the luke warm response Tessa and Scott have been getting at times this season, especially when its so plain to see how exquisite their movement is, but I don't think we all need to take it to the level that its got to over the last couple of days.
When Tessa and Scott skate cleanly and the moment is right then it is pure perfection and the most important place to have all that come together is Worlds. Yes I wish they didn't have to go through the little trickle of bad luck that they've been having lately but I'd rather it happened now and they get it out of their system than it creep in at Worlds.
If they have that moment of perfection at Worlds and D/W don't very obviously out skate them (and for me in order for D/W to do that they would have to actually become V/M and skate with their grace as well as speed. That may sound harsh and I don't mean to detract from the talent that D/W have but they simply are not V/M. JMO.) and they still don't win Gold then it won't have come down to talent but politicks and if that's the case then there's no beating that. Its not something you can train for and work out a way to overcome. It would be out their hands and most certainly out of ours.
I would love for all the stress to go away and for us all to go back to being able to fully enjoy having this very special team still competing and showing the world that dance really does still exist on ice.
Let's make this thread so alive with positive energy for V/M that its soooooooooo bright that everyone on FSU has got to wear shades when they come in and take a peak
And now I may just go back into hiding
Pani, if I remember correctly Tessa cut up that gold dress didn't she? It's more open now.

Facebook unveils new 'Home' for AndroidBy MICHAEL LIEDTKE
and BARBARA ORTUTAY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | April 05,2013AP PHOTO
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks at the company's headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., on Thursday. Zuckerberg says the company is not building a phone or an operating system. Rather, Facebook is introducing a new experience for Android phones.MENLO PARK, Calif. — With its new "Home" on Android gadgets, Facebook aims to put its social network at the center of people's mobile experiences.
If users choose to download Facebook's Home software starting on April 12, the social network will become the hub of their Android smartphones. A phone from HTC that comes pre-loaded with Home will also be available starting that day, with AT&T Inc. as the carrier.
The idea behind the software is to bring Facebook content right to the home screen, rather than requiring users to check apps. "Home" comes amid rapid growth in the number of people who access Facebook from phones and tablet computers. Of its 1.06 billion monthly users, 680 million log in to Facebook using a mobile gadget.
The service is part of Facebook's move to shift its users' focus from "apps and tasks" to people, said CEO Mark Zuckerberg during Home's unveiling at the company's Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters on Thursday.
The new product, which resides on the home screen of Android phones, is a family of apps designed to help people share things with their Facebook friends. Rather than seeing a set of apps for email, maps and other services when they first turn on their phones, users will be greeted with photos and updates from their Facebook feeds. There will be ads too, eventually.
"We think this is the best version of Facebook there is," Zuckerberg said.
Zuckerberg says users can have an experience on Android phones that they can't have on other platforms. That's because Google makes the software available on an open-source basis, allowing others to adapt it to their needs.
Recognizing that text messaging is one of the most important tasks on a mobile phone, Facebook also showed off a feature called "chat heads." This lets users communicate with their friends directly from their phone's home screen — without opening a separate app.
The move that coincides with rapid growth among the number of users who access the social network from smartphones and tablet computers and Facebook's aim to evolve from its Web-based roots into a "mobile-first" company.
"What Facebook wants is to put itself at the front of the Android user experience for as many Facebook users as possible and make Facebook more elemental to their customers' experience," said Forrester analyst Charles Golvin.
The new Home service won't be available on Apple's iPhone and iPad devices. Apple's iOS and Mac operating systems include features that integrate Facebook's services, but Zuckerberg says doing something like Home would require a closer partnership.
Apple had no immediate comment.
The deeper mobile integration will likely help Facebook to attract more mobile advertisers. Though mobile ads were a big concern for Facebook's investors even before the company's initial public offering last May, some of the worry has subsided as the company muscles its way into the market.
Last year, Facebook began showing ads to its mobile audience by shoehorning corporate-sponsored content into users' news feeds, which also include updates from friends and brands they follow. Facebook now faces the challenge of showing people mobile ads without annoying or alienating them.
The mobile advertising market is growing quickly, thanks in large part to Facebook and Twitter, which also entered the space in 2012. Research firm eMarketer expects U.S. mobile ad spending to grow 77 percent this year to $7.29 billion, from $4.11 billion last year.
EMarketer said Wednesday that it expects Facebook Inc. to reap $965 million in U.S. mobile ad revenue in 2013. That's about 2.5 times the $391 million in 2012, the first year that Facebook started showing mobile ads. Clark Fredricksen, vice president at eMarketer, says "there are some clear reasons why a deeper integration with mobile operating systems and handsets make sense for Facebook. At the end of the day, the more deeply Facebook can engage consumers, no matter what device or operating system or handset," the better.
Facebook's stock rose 80 cents, or 3.1 percent, to $27.05 in afternoon trading following the announcement. It's still 23 percent below its initial public offering price of $35.MORE IN Wire NewsNASHVILLE, Tenn. Full StoryJERSEY CITY, N.J.

Gas prices are on the rise, congestion continues to grow, and St. Louis commuters are looking for a way to avoid the hassles of commuting to work.
Can St. Louis use the public transit infrastructure it has invested millions in to create livable, walkable communities in the region? Will developers build around transit in St. Louis with the right incentives? They currently want to build in areas with good highway/road access, will they choose an area with good transit access?
Join Citizens for Modern Transit on September 27 for a Breakfast Panel Discussion on The Opportunities Around Light Rail.
Hear from a local developer who is in the process of opening a $250 million development on top of MetroLlink in the City of St. Louis and the opportunities around three stations in St. Louis County and St. Louis City. What would entice developers to Brentwood, Clayton, Richmond Heights, Shrewsbury, Pagedale and other locations where we have light rail in place as a key to building livable, walkable destinations?

SKELTON: High marks for Jerry Brown
Published: Sunday, December 23, 2012 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 5:59 p.m.
The year shouldn't slip by without giving Gov. Jerry Brown his annual report card.
And that's tough. Not the grading: He obviously deserves high marks if the yardstick is effectiveness. And that's my yardstick.
The only decision is whether to give him a B-plus, an A-minus or a full A.
The tough part is acknowledging that Brown, who regards himself as the smartest man in the room and tends to let people know it, usually is. Certainly he was in 2012.
This was the year Brown delivered what he was selling when he ran for election in 2010: political know-how, inherited from his father Pat Brown's genes and developed over decades of trial and error; the governor uniquely qualified by experience and wisdom to clean up Sacramento's fiscal mess.
"The knowledge and the know-how to get California working again," he had proclaimed. "That's what I offer."
Largely because of Brown, Sacramento is approaching solvency after several years of deficit chaos and sharp spending cuts.
The numbers change every week. But essentially Brown entered office facing a $26 billion deficit. It was halved to $13 billion by the end of 2011 and recently was projected by the nonpartisan legislative analyst to be a relatively minor $1.9 billion for the next budget year.
Brown and the Democratic-controlled Legislature cut a ton, mainly in programs for poor people. University students also got whacked
But Brown's biggest test was winning voter approval of a tax increase, the first accepted by the California electorate since 2004.
Again, the governor fulfilled a campaign promise: "No new taxes unless the people vote for them."
That was an unfortunate, politically motivated pledge aimed at convincing voters that he wasn't a liberal taxer-spender. It surrendered his and the Legislature's constitutional power to raise taxes on their own.
Nevertheless, Brown did it his way, the risky way. And it turned out to be the winning way. It wasn't even close: a margin of 10.6 percent.
If Brown had flunked that exam, we'd be handing out a D, maybe an F. K-12 schools would have been slashed $5.4 billion.
"He showed people once again that he knows how to run a statewide campaign," says Mark Baldassare, president and pollster of the Public Policy Institute of California.
Brown did it, in part, by compromising with the left on his ballot initiative. He merged his tax proposal with a more liberal version sponsored by the California Federation of Teachers. The combined measure became Proposition 30, which raised income taxes substantially on the top 1 percent and imposed only a token quarter-cent sales tax hike on everyone.
It was bad public policy, rendering California's tax system even more unstable by over-relying on the roller-coaster fortunes of the wealthy. But it was superb politics: soaking the rich. Only a relative handful of voters would be paying the higher tax.
Brown defied conventional wisdom by campaigning on college campuses. Political pros rolled their eyes. Young people don't vote, they observed.
But this year they apparently did, aided for the first time by online voter registration. They also were sick of tuition hikes. And if Proposition 30 did not pass, they were guaranteed even higher fees. Plus, President Barack Obama was still a draw for California youth.
"Give Brown credit," says Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at University of Southern California. "A septuagenarian governor doesn't seem like a logical messenger for college undergrads, but he made it work."
"Not only did he win student votes," Schnur adds, "but all those campus visits had a reflective value by reminding older voters that they were young once and why college educations are so important."
Brown also got lucky.
First, Obama was running and that attracted more voters than would have shown up if the governor had succeeded in his first choice: persuading GOP lawmakers to place a tax measure on a special election ballot in 2011.
Second, anti-labor conservatives sponsored an initiative, Proposition 32, aimed at crippling unions. Prop. 32 frightened unions into self-survival action. And they turned out voters who helped pass Prop. 30.
Brown also racked up other achievements in 2012.
A controversial bill to overhaul workers' compensation was all but dead before Brown stepped in, as Los Angeles Times business writer Marc Lifsher reported. The governor personally lobbied reluctant senators and ultimately won over unusually large, bipartisan majorities.
The agreement is expected to provide $740 million annually in new benefits for permanently disabled workers, while reducing overall medical and compensation costs and saving businesses huge hikes in workers' comp insurance.
Business interests are generally happy with this Democratic governor.
Brown also pushed passage of a modest public pension reform, knowing it was needed to persuade voters that Sacramento was doing everything it could to reduce taxpayers' burden.
The compromise satisfied hardly anyone — unions or union critics — but it was more pension reform than had ever been passed by the Legislature.
For new employees, it was designed to eliminate $100,000-plus pensions, raise retirement ages and reduce other benefits. Both current and future employees will have to pay roughly half their retirement costs.
And — like it or not, and most people apparently don't — Brown got the bullet train moving after it had been sidetracked for years. He persuaded the Legislature to spend the initial $8 billion in high-speed rail construction money ($4.7 billion in voter-approved state bonds, $3.3 billion in federal grants).
Of course, that leaves only $5 billion remaining for a $68-billion project. And no one is offering to pay for the rest of this fantasy.
But, again, the grading here is based on effectiveness.
And Brown earned a solid A.

Ada —
Faced with a legal challenge, the Oklahoma Water Resources Board has postponed its decision on a proposed maximum annual yield from the Arbuckle-Simpson Aquifer.
The board was set to consider the proposed maximum annual yield (MAY) today, but the item was pulled from the agenda after the Oklahoma State Supreme Court blocked action on the issue last week, OWRB spokesman Bryan Vance said Monday.
He said the court will hear oral arguments from both sides at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 31 in Oklahoma City.

CFO of GreenBank parent plans to retire
Green Bankshares announced Wednesday that CFO James Adams plans to retire on May 16.
According to a news release, the 66-year-old Adams is expected to advise the company for six months following his retirement, and the company will begin a search for his replacement immediately.
"It has been a privilege to work for great customers and with the dedicated employees throughout Green Bankshares, and I am proud to have been part of the team," Adams said in the release. "I am grateful for good health and a wonderful family, and considering I will turn 67 in May, I think the time is right to take advantage of these gifts and spend more time with my family."
Green Bankshares lost nearly $53 million in the fourth quarter, and some analysts have said the company must re-capitalize or be acquired by another firm.

PORTLAND — The Seattle Sounders' free fall that started in mid-September finally hit bottom Thursday.
Seattle's fifth Major League Soccer season came to an end with a 3-2 loss to arch-rival Portland. The result gave the Timbers a 5-3 aggregate-score win in the series and sends them on to the Western Conference finals against Real Salt Lake.
On Sept. 13, a Sounders victory over Real Salt Lake sent them to the top of the MLS standings. That also proved to be the final win of the regular season for Seattle, which closed with an 0-4-3 tumble to fourth place in the West.
The Sounders opened the postseason with a 2-0 home win over Colorado in the knockout round, but then lost. 2-1, at home to the Timbers in the first leg and gave up the first three goals Thursday at sold out Jeld-Wen Field.
"We didn't play well in the first half," coach Sigi Schmid said. "I thought they closed us down, put pressure on us, we didn't play forward. I thought we lost the game in midfield. Second half, when we switched into a 3-5-2, I thought it was better. … We got two back (late), but overall I think they were a better team than us tonight."
The Timbers had promised to try to win the second leg rather than just protect their one-goal advantage, and they were true to their word.
Portland dominated over the first 25 minutes with at least five good chances.
The Timbers got on the scoreboard in the 29th minute on a penalty kick by Will Johnson, after Seattle defender Djimi Traore was whistled for a hand ball in the penalty area.
Portland added to that just before halftime, when Diego Valeri got free in the area and beat goalkeeper Michael Gspurning to the far post.
The second half had hardly begun before Portland added to that, this time with Mamadou Danso heading in a goal from close range.
Seattle rallied for two late goals, from DeAndre Yedlin in the 74th minute and on an Eddie Johnson header one minute later. Clint Dempsey got a good chance in the 88th minute, but when the ball went awry the Sounders' chances went with it.
"The goal before halftime, the goal after halftime were what killed us," Schmid said. "But hats off to them. They were much better than us."
One reason cited for Seattle's late-season collapse was difficulty getting a regular lineup on the pitch, and that continued Thursday.
While the Timbers went with the same lineup that started the first leg, Schmid penciled out his 36th lineup in league 37 games. The most notable change had Shalrie Joseph starting at forward, alongside Johnson. Marc Burch also started at left back in place of the injured Leo Gonzalez, and Gspurning returned as starting goalkeeper after missing the first leg on red-card suspension.
"With the changes in the lineup game in and game out we were never … able to get the roles down: this is what your role is, this is what your role is," Schmid said. "The roles for people were changing."
Seattle is 1-5 in MLS playoff series, being eliminated in the conference semifinals every season except 2012, when they made it to the conference finals.
It was their second consecutive season without a trophy – they were eliminated in the semifinals of CONCACAF Champions League and lost their opening match in U.S. Open Cup.
Schmid said he expects personnel changes to be made before next season, but said that he wants to return as coach.
General manager Adrian Hanauer declined to speak to media after the match.

PV manufacturing equipment revenues should fall 50%+ in 2012
IMS Research suggests boom for photovoltaic panel construction may be over as capacity has grown too fast and prices fall.
The market for PV (photovoltaic) manufacturing equipment will more than halve in 2012 according to the latest quarterly-updated report from IMS Research. Significant decreases in new manufacturing capacity required and limited demand for upgrade or replacement of existing capacity will result in a projected market decline of over 55% in revenues in 2012 from 2011.
IMS contends that in recent years, makers of PV products have invested heavily in new manufacturing equipment and additional capacity in an effort to increase their market share and establish themselves as a credible high-volume suppliers. While this has fueled the recent boom in the PV equipment market, it has also caused the significant over-capacity for device manufacture that now exists.
IMS senior research analyst Tim Dawson says, "IMS Research estimates that the PV manufacturing equipment market, after a record year in 2011 ($12.8 billion revenues), will be worth just over $5.7 billion in 2012. Massive over-capacity, coupled with a reduction in demand, has led manufacturers either to postpone or, where possible, cancel orders for new manufacturing equipment, at least in the short term. Longer term, although a return to growth is inevitable for 2013, a strong V-shaped recovery has not been forecast. The PV manufacturing equipment market will instead steadily recover as companies look to invest once again in new equipment to remain competitive, improve their production processes, increase cell efficiencies, and reduce the cost per watt associated with the ultimate end product."
Nonetheless, the group says that PV generating capacity will continue to grow. Global solar PV installations will reach 24 GW in 2011, up from 19 GW in 2010.

Snappers Wrap Up
by, 06-24-2012 at 10:26 PM (624 Views)
This article was originally posted on Knuckleballsblog.com.
I had to leave Sundays Snappers game with the Cedar Rapids Kernels a couple innings early in order to get ready to catch a flight, but the Kernels had the game pretty well in hand by the time I walked out the gate.
The Snappers scored one run in the top of the first inning, but probably should have had more. Nate Roberts and JD Williams each singled to start the game and Miguel Sano sent a towering fly ball to right field, which bounced off the top of the high wall and back in to play. Roberts scored, but Williams stopped at second base. That fact that apparently was lost on Sano at least until Sano had rounded second base, himself. They dont allow one runner to pass a runner ahead of him in this game and that meant Sano was called out. The Snappers didnt score again.
Pitcher Steven Gruver, 3B Miguel Sano, RP Cole Johnson in the bullpen
Steven Gruver had a little trouble getting out of the first inning, as well. giving up a single, a double and two walks to the Kernels in the bottom of the frame. That had the game tied at 1 after an inning. Gruver settled down a bit after that, though he did make a couple of mistakes that led to two Kernel solo home runs, before finishing his day after five innings of work. He was relieved by Cole Johnson, a late round 2011 pick by the Twins who made his first appearance for the Snappers since joining them from extended spring training.
Im writing this before the game has finished, but Im going to assume the 7-1 lead the Kernels held after seven innings will probably hold up, meaning the Snappers will take the series 2 games to 1. (Update: final score, 9-1)
Twins GM Terry Ryan (red shirt), Steve Bedrosian (white shirt)
Twins GM Terry Ryan was in the crowd again today, as was the full contingent of close to 20 scouts who have attended every game of the series. (I thought their numbers were reduced Saturday night, but was told today that they were all there but many had to be seated in other areas due to the Kernels selling out the game.) Ryan was actually seated just across the aisle from former MLB/Twins pitcher Steve Bedrosian, whos son, Cam, was the starting pitcher for the Kernels Friday night.
It was just about a perfect weekend for baseball in Cedar Rapids and, as usual, I loved every minute I was out there watching the kids on both teams play. The Angels havent done the Cedar Rapids organization any favors this year with the level of talent theyve dispatched to the Kernels roster (a sign, some say, that they know they wont be signing a new affiliation agreement with CR this off-season), but the players who are here are a great group of guys and give plenty of effort.
The Cedar Rapids Kernels organization does a great job and they deserve a better affiliation something I hope the Twins will fix before Opening Day, 2013.
Finally, a few more pictures from today before I head to the airport.

Thread: Whales learning to talk
Whales learning to talkThe marine mammal, a white whale named NOC, copied the sound of people so well that at first, researchers thought they were hearing humans conversing in the distance. A diver who worked with NOC once even left the water, wondering, "Who told me to get out?" The voice turned out to be that of NOC.
"They are highly vocal animals," lead author Sam Ridgway of the National Marine Mammal Foundation told Discovery News, adding that NOC was not the first to copy human speech.

With the BP oil spill being called his "Katrina," the pressure on President Obama to strike the right tone in his highly-anticipated speech Tuesday was intense.
Obama, who recently tried to tack away from his coolly intellectual approach by telling Matt Lauer recently that he was looking for "an ass to kick," was back on more familiar ground, pledging reforms, new oversight and pressing his big picture solution of a new energy policy. It shouldn't surprise that the president was roundly blasted by his usual detractors on the right, but this time, the criticism from liberal quarters was nearly as universal.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Max Pacioretty scored with 2:29 left in overtime to lift the Montreal Canadiens to a 2-1 victory over the Nashville Predators in front of a sellout crowd Saturday night.
Shea Weber scored for Nashville.
David Desharnais also scored for Montreal and assisted on the game-winner.
Desharnais scored the only goal of the first period at with 6:11 remaining. As Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne dove to his right side Desharnais skated into the crease and backhanded the puck into the open side of the net.
Weber tied the game at the 3:20 mark of the second period on a short-handed goal. Weber blasted a slap shot from the top edge of the right circle that went into the net, beating Monteal goaltender Peter Budaj to his right side.
Budaj made 25 saves and Rinne stopped 23 shots.

RALEIGH — Rex Healthcare wants to restructure its northern Wake County surgery center in a way that would allow physicians to have an ownership stake in the facility, a change the health care group says could lower costs.
Rex has asked state regulators for approval to convert Rex Surgery Center of Wakefield from a hospital-based surgery center to a separately licensed outpatient surgery center.
Physicians, a group of whom already have expressed interest in an ownership opportunity, would then be able to buy into the surgery center located off Capital Boulevard.
"By partnering with a hospital, physicians can realize greater cost savings and greater control over operations. At the same time, hospitals can build strong physician relationships that ultimately support hospital recruiting and retention initiatives," Rex said in its request to regulators.
The center would continue to offer the same services to patients in Wake and Franklin counties, where Rex competitor Novant just won approval to add a second operating room to its planned outpatient surgery center in Youngsville.
Rex officials say they already provide quality care to the region and have appealed the decision. Novant's Youngsville center, located just a few miles north of Wakefield, would harm them financially, according to their appeal.
Novant is opposed to the Rex conversion. In comments to the state, Novant disputed the projections Rex used to explain why the change would be beneficial and said its forthcoming center would better serve the local population.
In their applications, both Novant and Rex noted the benefits of outpatient surgery centers, which can result in lower costs for providers and patients because of greater efficiencies.
Through North Carolina's Certificate of Need process, regulators evaluate how new health care services or facilities would affect the health care system, including costs.
Rex has converted a hospital-based surgery center before, at Rex Surgery Center of Cary. Physicians bought a stake in the center several years ago, although Rex retains a majority share.
The change "ultimately resulted in better patient care and satisfaction," according to Rex.

Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson has signed a new, five-year contract which runs through the 2012 season.
Chairman Bob Harlan says Thompson is doing exactly what was anticipated when he was hired. He built a strong football team in Green Bay that's back in the playoffs.
Harlan says Thompson has the Packers positioned well for the future with his system of building the team through the draft.
The 54-year-old Thompson is a native of Atlanta, Texas. He played at Southern Methodist University and with the Houston Oilers before serving eight years in the Packers' personnel department. He spent five years in Seattle as that team's vice president of football operations before rejoining the Packers in 2005.
Forty of the 53 players on Green Bay's active roster have been acquired by Thompson.
