text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 310818 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 318 AM CDT Thu Jul 31 2014 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday) Issued at 318 AM CDT THU JUL 31 2014 Quiet, mainly dry conditions and slightly below normal temperatures are expected to continue through the short term forecast period as troughing over the Great Lakes continues to be reinforced, keeping NNW flow entrenched over the eastern Plains. Fairly significant dry air through the depth of the column (but especially at 700-400 hPa) should keep precipitation chances generally low for the rest of this week and into the weekend, but a few very isolated, very light rain showers are possible Friday afternoon as a shortwave trough rotates down into portions of central and eastern Missouri and a bit of surface-based instability develops. Highs through Saturday will be in the lower to mid 80s, and lows will settle in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Winds should also remain light as surface high pressure continues to drift across the region, and humidity levels will remain fairly low. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Wednesday) Issued at 318 AM CDT THU JUL 31 2014 Later half of the forecast remains relatively unchanged as mid and long range solutions haven`t changed much. As we move through the last day of the weekend and the into next work week the pattern across the States will still be amplified enough to keep significant troughing in place across the eastern CONUS with a modest northwest flow across the Lower Missouri River Valley. Consequently, while our general temperature trend will be on the up swing going through the weekend as the ridge to our west slowly expands into the Plains States, expectations are that temperatures will still be slightly below seasonally normal values Sunday. However, by Monday temperatures will have finished climbing to back near normal, which means a return of temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s for the beginning of the work week. However, all is not lost, as many models are advertising a shortwave trough moving through the region next Wednesday and Thursday. This will likely knock temperatures back down for Thursday and the periods just beyond. This could also provide us with our next best chance at widespread rain across the region as the front moves through Wednesday into Thursday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday Night) Issued at 1234 AM CDT THU JUL 31 2014 VFR conditions are expected to continue through the TAF period.

"If you want a classy invitation for a gender reveal party, this is it. It's classy, but fun! I came up with a plethora of ideas for the party, surrounding this invitation. Just think: - Chalkboard theme - pink and blue flags - having it on a Sunday - triangle banners throughout.. This invitation really helped inspired me to be creative and hopefully have a successful party! Cheers to tinyprint and the designer of this invitation."
"This baby shower invitation was for my cousin who is having a little boy and decorating the nursery in a forest animal theme. So when I saw this card I was thrilled - - it was perfect - - so nice to see a baby shower invitation in a style other than the traditional pink or blue. I love Ann Kelle's work."
"I loved everything about these cards, great design, easy-to-edit and quality product. I received nothing but compliments from all my guests."
"This design is absolutely adorable. It was love at first sight when I saw this design, I knew I wanted it for our co-ed baby shower. I got the card with round edges and upgraded it to the shimmer pearl paper. I am so glad I got the shimmer peal paper because it made the card look even more amazing. The designer also was able to add in my request of adding text on the back of the card which was a plus. I received this in the mail quite fast and as promised by the delivery date. I feel the quality and product on Tiny prints definately is better than the other websites I have used in the past for cards."
"This is a great invite for a gender neutral baby shower! Colors are so vivid and happy. The paper is thick and great quality. Shipping was so fast. Very happy with this purchase!"

Valley Talk
Live and Local Radio
At that time KGAL AM's (920 KHz) programming (oldies) was moved to a new FM owned by Eads Broadcasting at 102.3 FM. This station was licensed to Brownsville had the call letters KGAL-FM. KGAL-FM was sold in the mid 1990's and a new frequency was applied for and approved at 1580 KHz, called KGAL. This time KGAL target was the same audience (35-64 Adults) that grew up with the original Top 40 Format in the 1960's, 70's and early 80's but were now listening to News Talk radio.
Valley Talk originally aired from 8:30 am to 9:00 Monday - Friday mornings following the Morning Update. Host Dick Manning launched the show and did the daily live and local talk show duties until shifting to part time host in early 2003 due to health reasons. Dick remained on the air sharing the host duties with Jim Willhight until his death in July of 2003.
Later in 2003 the show expanded to 1 full hour and moved to 11 to Noon, Monday- Thursday. On Dick Manning's passing in July 2003 Radio Ray and Jim Willhight split the Valley Talk live hosting duties. In July of 2004 Valley Talk began Podcasting, archiving shows in the mp3 format for free download on the internet.
KGAL had a special satellite studio in Albany (our main studios and transmitters are in Lebanon) built in the Flynn Building on First Avenue in Historic Downtown Albany. The show broadcast from that location until a major fire in the Flynn Building still originating live from our Valley Talk Studio in the Flinn Building in Downtown Albany.
The studio remained in the Flynn Building after the fire, then was moved when the space was remodeled for retail space. The new location, just a stones throw away in the Venetian Theater right across the street.
In March of 2010 KGAL lost the lease for the studio as the owners of the Venetian, the Plainview Mennonite Church, needed the space for its ministries. We are currently broadcasting the live, local talk show from our main studios in Lebanon.

UPDATED: December 31 8:25am
Arlington Heights police say a 69-year-old man hit three cars in total with his vehicle Sunday afternoon in the Mitsuwa Marketplace.
Arlington Heights Police Seargent Shawn Gyorke said the Arlington Heights resident hit the first vehicle around 1:30 p.m. Sunday as he entered the parking lot in the 100 block of E. Algonquin Road. The car was being operated by a driver at the time.
The second vehicle was hit, Gyorke said, as it was parked in the lot, and the third car struck by the driver was an Arlington Heights police car that was responding to reports of the incident.
Paramedics arrived on the scene and transported the driver of the offending vehicle to Northwest Community Hospital. Gyorke said there were no obvious signs of drug or alcohol use.
No one else was injured and only minor damage was reported on all vehicles involved.
Gyorke said in cases like this, it is not uncommon for police to request the state to re-examine a driver's ability to operate a vehicle safely, to determine if the cause of dangerous driving is possibly health-related.
The investigation into this accident is ongoing.
A strange turn of events after an initial car versus car accident in Arlington Heights Sunday afternoon.
The hit-and-run driver committed two offenses Sunday, first hitting a vehicle near Mitsuwa Marketplace, and then crashing into an Arlington Heights police car, according to the Arlington Cardinal.
The initial offense occurred at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in the 100 block of E. Algonquin Road, the Arlington Cardinal reports. When the suspect driver returned to the scene, he hit a police car from Arlington Heights that was reponding to the crash. One person was sent to the hospital.

|Men's Soccer Opens Season With Buckeyes
Head Coach Aidan Heaney and his Seahawks head to Columbus, Ohio, this weekend as they open their 2013 season with a pair of tough matches at the Wolstein Classic, hosted by Ohio State, beginning on Friday with the Buckeyes at 7:30 p.m.
UNCW will close out its tournament appearance on Sunday with a noon start against Cincinnati.
The Seahawks, who enter their 13th season under the direction of Heaney, return six of their top seven scorers from last season, including first-team All-Colonial midfielder Jamie Dell and All-Rookie honoree Colin Bonner. Dell notched a career-high 12 points on four goals and a team-leading four assists. Bonner, meanwhile, led the side with 14 points on a team-leading six goals and two assists. He became the first Seahawk rookie to lead the team in points since Allen Lomax did so in 2007.
In a pair of exhibition games, UNCW posted a 1-0-1 record with a rousing 6-1 win over Longwood and a 1-all draw at NC State. Bonner scored twice against Longwood, while Mateo Cardona scored a goal in both games and added an assist against Longwood.
Friday's game with host Ohio State is the first meeting between the two programs as well as UNCW's first game against a member of the Big 10. The Buckeyes looks to a recruiting class that was ranked 29th nationally by CollegeSoccernews.com after finishing the 2012 season with a record of 6-10-3 and falling to Northwestern in the first round of the Big 10 tournament. Buckeye coach John Bluem enters his 17th season at the helm of the program.
Cincinnati will be the second test for the Seahawks on Sunday. The Bearcats, who are now members of the American Athletic Conference, finished 6-9-4 overall and 3-3-2 in the Big East, one of the toughest conference in the nation. UC returns 15 letter winners from 2012, including preseason All-AAC defender Richardo Israel. The Bearcats managed just 12 goals offensively, but also dug in defensively, allowing just 22 goals in 19 games.
Friday's game with Ohio State will be streamed by the Big 10 Network (BTN.com). Both of UNCW's game will feature live stats. Links to video and live stats can be found at UNCWsports.com.

Hello once again, my friends. I'm here typing this article on another warm, sunny day.
Alright, I admit, it's only warm and sunny because it's 8 a.m. Hot and sunny would be a more accurate description. Oh well, its July, so I guess we are getting what we should expect. No matter how hot it gets, I never stop thinking about food.
In the past few articles I've touched a little on grilling. Summer is grilling season, so I thought I would expound on that a bit.

Since Bonaire has a long history of reef conservation, it is an ideal place for marine biologists to conduct research programs. Not only is the research confined to the sea, there are other projects in flora and fauna, as well as archaeology and the culture of the island that are being done.
STINAPA is the best place to find out about volunteering and taking part in a study or project about nature. They have a number of ongoing research protocols in progress.
The Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire and the Save the Lora foundation can also use extra hands to help in counts or tagging efforts. If it is people that interest you, then the youth center, Jong Bonaire is the place to volunteer. There are also a number of after school programs in the various barrios that need volunteers. The animal shelter also appreciates visitors.
Bonaire's Chamber of Commerce has a comprehensive list of foundations available.

Grana Padano was created at the beginning of the millennium by the Cistercian monks of Chiaravalle who used ripened cheese as a way of preserving surplus milk. The name Grana was popularly bestowed upon the cheese because of its "grainy" consistency which was markedly different from the other cheeses known until then. It may be used as a table cheese or for grating. A golden oily rind encases a white or straw-coloured fine-grained cheese with crumbly fissures radiating outwards from the centre. Reminiscent of Parmesan, the taste is fragrant and delicate, and the cheese preserves its integrity for one or two years. Grana Padano is best paired with robust red wines.

Baldwin had four catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks' 42-13 victory over San Francisco on Sunday night.||||||| It was Baldwin's first two-TD game of the season. He had just one catch for eight yards last week.
Baldwin, the Seattle Seahawks' leading receiver a season ago as a rookie, will miss Sunday's game at Detroit with a high ankle sprain. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Baldwin would not play against the Lions after suffering the injury last Thursday against San Francisco, continuing a season of ailments for the second-year receiver.||||||| Baldwin was slowed earlier this season by hamstring and shoulder injuries and needed dental surgery following Seattle's season opening loss to Arizona after he dove for a pass and the impact with the ground cracked his front teeth.
Baldwin an undrafted rookie out of Stanford, showed the rest of the NFL what it missed Monday in a 30-13 win over the hapless Rams.||||||| He blocked a first-quarter punt that was returned by Michael Robinson 17 yards for a touchdown, then caught a 29-yard TD pass from Tarvaris Jackson in the third period. Baldwin, who is Seattle's leading receiver and has become the main option for Jackson, finished with seven receptions for 93 yards and his third TD catch of the season.
Baldwin had five catches for 60 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Washington.||||||| Baldwin has had at least 50 yards receiving in four of his last five games, but hasn't reached the end zone since Week 5.
Baldwin caught a 27-yard touchdown pass with 2:37 remaining to put the Seahawks ahead for good in Sunday's 36-25 win over the Giants.||||||| "We believe in ourselves and we believe in each other," Baldwin said after making eight catches for 136 yards and the critical score. "It's believing the guys next to you will do it." Baldwin is an undrafted free agent from Stanford who leads the team with 20 receptions.

Deep Parts
We hear what you're thinking, "WWWD are you telling me that changing my part will make me feel as current as chopping my long hair off or trying a totally different hair color?" and the answer is a resounding no-which isn't a bad thing! Playing with your part won't render you unrecognizable, but it can subtly tweak your look for the better, much like how smartly shaped eyebrows enhance a face.
The deep side part was a noticeable runway trend and we saw it worn in numerous ways. At Balenciaga, the look was a deep, simple side part, while Chanel displayed a more intense slicked-back style. We loved the dramatic swoop shown at Marni as well as the sleek and moderate side parts at Donna Karan and Calvin Klein. Starlets and style-setters are going for this look too. Sienna Miller chose to wear a slightly punky variation for the BAFTAs while Jessica Biel wore clean and classic version at the same event. While both of those ladies looked rather kempt, the messy, less precise, slightly surly take on the side part is another option. The above image of Ally Hilfiger is a good inspiration point for this downtown take on the deep part, as are images from the Jonathan Saunders Spring 08 show.
As far as the rest of your look goes, one au currant way to wear the deep side part is not with femme fatale frocks (the look is sexy, but expected), rather with slightly androgynous ensembles, as shown at YSL. The part, especially when worn with menswear-inspired clothes, has a very cool, slightly subversive 80's prepster vibe, which is always hot.

Inside Collection (Textbook): High Performance Computing
Perhaps getting your code to produce the right answers is enough. After all, if you only plan to use the program once in a while, or if it only takes a few minutes to run, execution time isn't going to matter that much. But it might not always be that way. Typically, people start taking interest in the runtime of their programs for two reasons:
It's clear why you might care about the performance of your program if the workload increases. Trying to cram 25 hours of computing time into a 24-hour day is an administrative nightmare. But why should people who are considering a new machine care about the runtime? After all, the new machine is presumably faster than the old one, so everything should take less time. The reason is that when people are evaluating new machines, they need a basis of comparison—a benchmark. People often use familiar programs as benchmarks. It makes sense: you want a benchmark to be representative of the kind of work you do, and nothing is more representative of the work you do than the work you do!
Benchmarking sounds easy enough, provided you have timing tools. And you already know the meaning of time.1 You just want to be sure that what those tools are reporting is the same as what you think you're getting; especially if you have never used the tools before. To illustrate, imagine if someone took your watch and replaced it with another that expressed time in some funny units or three overlapping sets of hands. It would be very confusing; you might have a problem reading it at all. You would also be justifiably nervous about conducting your affairs by a watch you don't understand.
UNIX timing tools are like the six-handed watch, reporting three different kinds of time measurements. They aren't giving conflicting information — they just present more information than you can jam into a single number. Again, the trick is learning to read the watch. That's what the first part of this chapter is about. We'll investigate the different types of measurements that determine how a program is doing.
If you plan to tune a program, you need more than timing information. Where is time being spent — in a single loop, subroutine call overhead, or with memory problems? For tuners, the latter sections of this chapter discuss how to profile code at the procedural and statement levels. We also discuss what profiles mean and how they predict the approach you have to take when, and if, you decide to tweak the code for performance, and what your chances for success will be.

Lawmakers aren't happy with RetreatThe Associated Press | March 27,2013BRATTLEBORO — Members of a Vermont House committee say they're not pleased with the information they're getting from the Brattleboro Retreat about the care of state patients there.
Committee members Tuesday criticized the Retreat for slowness to keep the state informed about recent incidents at the facility, including one in which a patient reported improper sexual contact to a staff member, and the staff member failed to report the issue.
Hospital vice president Peter Albert agreed that the report should have gone immediately to the state's adult protective division.
In another case, an adolescent patient was improperly placed in seclusion.
And in another, a patient with both medical and mental health issues was reported to have been subjected to an emergency medical intervention too soon.MORE IN This Just InRICHARD'S POOR ALMANACK: 2nd president John Adams signs Sedition Act on this day in 1798 providing jail time for criticizing the government; Jerry Rubin, co-creator of the Yippies, American activist, political theorist, businessman, born this day in 1938. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott uploads astronomic, historic and epigrammatic content...

The Farm School sounds a little bit like paradise [PDF]:
Everyone takes a turn preparing meals, baking bread and cleaning house. All will repair fences, shovel snow and restock feed bins. All will rotate cows, sheep and goats among pastures, assess the health of these animal-teachers, and milk Suzie, the dairy doyenne of the program.
There aren't many students. Just a few years back, there were only four. This year there are 15. Over one year, from October to September, on 183 acres in Athol, Mass., they will learn to grow organic vegetables, tend livestock, and manage forests. They will feed the 175 members of the farm's CSA and help run a meat CSA, as well. They'll actually learn about the business of farming, too, as Pacific Standard reports:

:Dear Abby: I cut my father out of my life years ago, after he declared he could not support my decision to adopt three children from a Russian orphanage with my longtime companion. The adoption announcement coincided with my "coming out" to Dad, who is now married to his third wife.
It must have been a lot for him to take in at one time. He told me plainly that he could not support my decision because he could not "understand" it. He has never met our children and does not acknowledge them as his grandchildren.
This year on Father's Day, I sent him a card, and he replied by email that he was glad to hear from me and he hoped for a reconciliation, but was not sure how to go about it. I responded by email that I was cautiously optimistic that we could reignite a respectful relationship.
I haven't heard back from him, and I suspect it's because he saw that I had changed my last name from his to my husband's, a decision I made after our marriage. My father was not aware that I had gotten married. I think I have overwhelmed him again, which has rendered him speechless. Please advise me on how to proceed.
Prodigal Son in California
Dear Son: Call your father, tell him you love him and that you would like to schedule a visit with him — but would like to send him some reading material before you do. Then contact PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). The phone number is 202-467-8180, and you'll find them on the Internet at www.pflag.org. They will be happy to provide you with literature for your dad to help him "understand." Frankly, he has my sympathy because before you hit him with the "double whammy," he didn't have a clue about who you really are.

Cash Cash Radio
Mixing the Day-Glo new wave sound of the '80s with a punk-pop attitude, the Roseland, NJ-based band Cash Cash got their start in 2002 under the name the Consequence. Featuring longtime friends Jean Paul Makhlouf (vocals, guitar) and Samuel Frisch (vocals, bass), the Consequence squandered five years with numerous keyboardists and drummers joining -- and then quitting -- the band. In 2007, a more solid lineup came together when Jean Paul's brother Alex joined on keyboards while Anthony Villacari took over on the drums. The musicians spent a summer working inside Jean Paul's home studio and emerged with a stack of demos, including a rough cut of the infectious dance number "Party in Your Bedroom." They changed their name to Cash Cash in early 2008 and signed with the major label Universal. Now an Internet and club hit, "Party in Your Bedroom" also found its way onto their debut release for the label, a self-titled EP that appeared in October. Their debut full-length, Take It to the Floor, followed in early 2009 and was supported by a package tour that also included the Millionaires, I Set My Friends on Fire, and Tyga. ~ David JeffriesPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Phoenix Sports Editor
Muskogee head football coach Josh Blankenship has seen it happen where a look at game film eased the pain of a loss by yielding a more hopeful perspective.
He couldn't squeeze much of that out this time, not after a 65-10 thrashing at the hands of the Broken Arrow Tigers last Friday for his team's fourth setback in as many games.
Muskogee got two first downs and 148 total yards of offense — 134 coming on two plays.
One of those was a 74-yard pass play with Tramal Ivy on the reception — that representing the Roughers' only touchdown. Another was a 55 yard run by Tyriq Beasley that was soon followed by a turnover on the exchange between he and quarterback Quintahj Cherry.
It was 45-10 at the half. And it looked a lot like three of the last four meetings between the teams. Along with Friday's outcome, BA has scored wins of 70-13 in 2010 and 61-6 in 2012. In 2011, Blankenship's first season, Muskogee had an extra point blocked at the end of regulation that sent the game to overtime where they fell in an obviously better contest, 33-26.
"It's the first time this year we had to do some soul-searching after a game, because we didn't show up to compete," the coach said. "We didn't flinch against Owasso (36-7 loss in week two) when we were whipped, or against Fayetteville (27-22 in week 3). But for some reason, a large group of our team was defeated before we even went out there Friday.
"As I told them, I can take getting beat. I can't handle laying down before the thing's even started."
The key here is "before the thing's even started." It wasn't, he said, after getting touchdown punch after touchdown punch, and to the point where frustration and resignation set in. And it was in spite of the fact Muskogee was minus two linebackers in Noah Ashley and Mackenzie McCall, both of whom were out due to injuries.
To start this week off, Blankenship used a lesson from Bixby's 37-29 loss to this week's opponent, No. 5 Westmoore (4-0, 1-0), who en route to the win was up 27-7 at the half.
"Bixby continued to play until the buzzer ran out," Blankenship said. "They're at minus 8 on the tiebreaker instead of minus 15. If nothing else, we have to fight for our points if we're going to get anywhere with our ultimate goal and that's still to make the playoffs."
That will be the test again come Friday, if recent history is any indication. A year ago against this opponent at Indian Bowl, Muskogee donned Manual Training throwback uniforms, in recognition of the area's black high school prior to integration. Westmoore piled up a 35-0 first-quarter lead and led 55-7 at the half. A running clock in the second half helped the game to a 55-14 finish.
Lexus Lee, who ran a punt back for a score and caught two of his eight TD passes in 2012 in this game, is back and regarded as one of the top receivers in 6A. He's part of a core of returnees on both sides of the ball from a team that finished third behind Jenks and Broken Arrow and narrowly missed an upset of Union in the postseason.
"They're very similar in talent to the team we just played," Blankenship said.
Which means a pre-game checkout will certainly produce similar results.
One thing is in play to perhaps combat that.
"For a guy who is completely abandoning his fundamentals, or standing and watching a play instead of pursuing the football, other than replacing him with a guy with someone who isn't as good talent-wise but will give you more fight and heart, we need answers," Blankenship said. "But you'll probably see (some of those switches) Friday."
At 0-4 with the tough first-half nearly behind them, Blankenship is optimistic they'll fix the work ethic.
"I think they will respond. I think they're a good group of kids and I sincerely mean that, I wouldn' t just say that to you," he said. "In every situiation where I've told them there was an issue of something that needed to be fixed, they responded and fixed it."

High school sports in West Virginia went to the three-class system in the 1958-59 school year. Prior to that there was a period where all schools competed in one group, and then there was Class A and Class B.
This week marks the 100th anniversary of the West Virginia boys state basketball tournament, first played in Buckhannon in 1913. For just over half of the tournament's existence the three-class system has been in place and in that time in Class AA, the dominating part of the state has been southern West Virginia and what is now Region III.
Schools from what is now Region III, or their predecessors, have played in 37 of the 53 Class AA championships since 1959. They have won 23 state titles. The Bluefield Beavers were the 37th team to make it to the final game last season and the Beavers look this week to become the 38th team to make it to championship Saturday and the 24th to win a crown from the region.
The Northfork Blue Demons lay claim to 10 of those crowns. The late Jennings Boyd led the Demons to their first title in 1971 and then from 1974-1981 Northfork won a national record eight straight state championships. The Demons lost in the title game in 1983, but the next year, 1984 in the school's final year of existence, they beat Wheeling Central for their 10th title, this one under the leadership of the late Henry Winkfield.
Other champions from the region are Oceana (1963, '65, '94), Mullens (1970, '72), and Gary (1973). Runners up were Oceana (1960), Gary District (1962), Mullens (1965), Pineville (1969) and Northfork (1983).
The dominance of the region was evident from the start of the three-class system. From 1960 to 1984 there were only five years that a team from the region did not play for the championship.
The landscape has changed and none of the old schools are open today. Oceana, Gary District, Mullens, Pineville, Northfork and Gary are all parts of consolidations. Oceana and Baileysville formed Westside in the 1990s. Gary District was integrated into Gary High in 1965-66, then Gary consolidated with Welch to form Mount View in 1978-79, which absorbed Northfork in 1984-85. Pineville and Mullens joined to form Wyoming East in the late 90s.
Enter the 1990s and there's a new group of schools in Class AA in southern West Virginia. Bluefield and Oak Hill drop from Class AAA, Wyoming East and Westside open their doors, and the dominance continues.
After an eight-year hiatus from the Saturday afternoon game, Oceana made it to the final game in 1993. From 1993 to 2012, 20 championship games, the region has been represented 17 times. Championships were won eight of those years by Oceana (1994), Bluefield (1995-96), Wyoming East (2002, '07, 08) and Oak Hill (2010-11).
Oceana (1993), Bluefield (1997, '99, 2006, '12), Independence (2000), Oak Hill (2003), Westside (2005), and Wyoming East (2009, '10) all came up short in the title game.
Looking at the other two classes no other region has had such a dominance in state tournament play.
I had the pleasure of seeing many of the aforementioned teams play and a major tip of the hat goes to Northfork for what they accomplished. My cousin, John Jennings was on a couple of those teams in the mid-'70s.
Growing up in Gary, the '73 Coaldiggers still bring a smile to my face 40 years after they won the state championship led by Coach Ergie Smith and a starting five of John Billups, Paul Hamilton, Sterette Daniels, Eddie Joyce and Ricky Richardson.
However, the most memorable team for me was the 2006 Bluefield Beavers. They fell to Ravenswood in the championship game, but for three days in Charleston I stuck my chest out a little further as my son, Jonathan Payne carried on the tradition of Bluefield High School and this region at the state basketball tournament.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Forecasting prep football success this time of year can be a rough business.
How rough?
So rough, that Thursday night at Harve Collins Field, as Norman High was knocking off Yukon 38-13 in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs, nobody could remember the last time the Tigers had won such a game.
The 1997 combo team, featuring players from NHS and North, was recalled, but certainly the Tigers had won another one since?
Turns out they did, 10-7 over Putnam City North in 2002, though the point remains the same.
Butch Peters' Tigers went 9-1 in 2005 and 2006, but fell short come the playoffs. Greg Nation's Tigers, two years ago, were the surprise of Class 6A. Then they surprised everybody by losing to Owasso in the first round of the playoffs. NHS was supposed to be even better last season, but Owasso advanced through the Tigers again.
Winning playoff games ain't easy.
But the Tigers made it look pretty easy.
Imond Robinson ran for 234 yards, A'erion Hines ran for 113 and Zach Long ran for 93 on just six carries and, though he completed just three passes, two were touchdowns to Jakcob Dean.
Somewhere in there is a time-honored recipe for postseason pigskin success.
It's not about being a machine out there. It's not even about being the better team. That helps, but more is frequently required.
It's about making plays.
Or, if you want to add one more cliché to the mix. It's about stepping up and making plays. Against the Millers, the Tigers stepped up and made plays.
Big ones.
Third-and-4 at the Miller 27, and NHS hadn't scored since their first play from scrimmage, an 80-yard run from Robinson. Long went to pass and found Dean a step in front of his chasers but Long threw it a step beyond Dean.
"All week, coach (Chuck) Long just told me to be strong to the catch, strong to the catch," Dean said. "And when I realized it was a little far, I knew I had to make a play on it."
A one-handed play.
The Tigers needed it. They'd scored fast, but hadn't scored since. The next big play was going to be a big deal and Dean made it.
A little later, A.J. West, Yukon's fantastic tailback, went around the left side and appeared gone, but NHS safety Jonathan Peters had an angle. Not a great angle but an angle. Getting there was going to be a great play.
He got there.
West ran for an amazing 264 yards, but he got 29 on that play instead of 52. He got 10 on the next play and Blake Biggs got four after that. But looking at first-and-goal from the 7, Yukon went nowhere, and after a mediocre snap and a sloppy hold and a hooked kick, the Tigers had the ball and the Millers still hadn't scored.
"We're about to get chewed out," is what Peters said he was thinking chasing West. "So I ran as fast as I could."
That wasn't all.
"Every time I step on the field, I fear my opponent, and if you fear something, you're going to attack it," Peters said. "I was like a cheetah chasing an impala."
Or a Tiger chasing a Miller, but whatever works.
Peters' tackle loomed so much larger a few minutes into the second half, when Yukon went the length of the field for its only touchdown, making it 17-7 instead of 17-14.
Also, the Millers might have enjoyed a much different night had Codey Sanchez got things going in the Tiger secondary. The Miller is one of the state's best receivers, but he ran into Tiger corner Boston Lewis, who didn't exactly make one huge play so much as keep Sanchez from making any.
Sanchez finished with a single catch worth eight yards. It is for games like Lewis' the term "shutdown corner" was coined.
"You've just got to stay confident," he said. "You've got to trust in your skills. That's what I did."
The Tigers won and won big. And while forecasting prep football success this time of year is no picnic, NHS has found a formula. It helps to be a good team, and the Tigers clearly are. Also, win all the big moments, as the Tigers clearly did.
One more thing?
Get a good draw.
Three other teams will meet Union, Jenks or Broken Arrow next week, but NHS will get tonight's Sapulpa-Owasso winner.
The fifth-ranked Rams should win the game and just like it was time the Tigers won another playoff game, it's time they beat Owasso, too.
Clobbering Yukon, it's like they drew themselves a map.

Human qualities of the historical characters in the book are exposed as they struggle through issues of love, sex, marriage, family, and make choices in situations where right or wrong are not clear.

The authors of the next three I am reading have not been on the site for a while but I feel that if I am reading them then I should comment on them. This one in particular reads very well and I think may do well. It is so well written and researched too. Nice flow, great characters and brilliant narrative. I enjoyed this and if the author came onto the site and pushed it, I can see it doing well.Sean Connolly. British Army on the Rampage. (B.A.O.R) Please consider me for a read or watch list wont you?? Many thanks. Sean
Historical Fiction Review:Chapters 1-6This is a superbly written story, and so well researched that I felt as if I were there, taking all this in. The characters were very realistic with their hopes, dreams, and fears. The setting felt authentic and the details utilized all my senses. I really liked Lady Anne, with her sensibilities, her wit, and her virtuous character. I also liked Richard and his growing love for her. He was sensitive to her wishes and caring enough to see that she was well after Raymond's nasty treatment of her. I have placed it on my WL and look forward to reading the rest of the story.I have given it a well deserved six stars, and will back soon. It deserves the Editor's Desk, for sure.Best,PattyThe Greek Maiden and the English Lord
Chapter One: The appeal to the senses is very good. I also like the personification of the castle leering down at him and mocking him.The detail of defending a castle made of butter = classic!All the details are very well researched, and it's like I'm actually there."the castellan, Roger de Lacy surrendered…" there should be another comma after "Lacy"What is the meaning of the random Y?The idea of a king grieving at a grave after a great victory is very intriguing. Great end to the first chapter; I want to keep reading on.I've got lots to do, so I'll return at another day to read more. Great beginning! You've begun on the right foot, and the tone you set is really absorbing. I like it. Often Medieval work is cliché and pat, and here you've given it life and color.~Hannah
Aha...you like medieval as i do. I think it was the wish of every school boy in my school-going days to be either Robin Hood or Richard Coeur de Lion. Of course as i do like that period in world history, detail to actual history are important. I like it and will read more...you may find mine an interesting read.Pat
This is a unique book on this site. There aren't many medieval books on here.I like the way you write.I think in the first chapter there is a ton of information, which can be a good thing and a bad thing. Good because we know where your coming from, but bad in that it could be too dry for some readers.Anyways, I think that you develops this well and have a good use of words.Good work!Shelby Z./Driving WindsP.S. Please look at my pirate adventure Driving Winds.
Hist.Fict. Readers GrpDear Ms. J,I wanted to continue reading your MS, but felt that too much time between chapters would hurt the flow, so I re-read from the start through ch 12. Will read on soon. Your story is moving swimmingly, and you have not compromised your historical setting as so many novels do. We are learning to think as they did. The suspense is building. I am, of course, now backing your book. A few nitpicks:Ch 11:----Computer glitch in lines of separation between "Richard and" and "Geoffrey have their lands...".----"There is too great of risk of you being killed..." Suggest first "of" be changed to "a".Ch 12:----"Yes, yes, I am fully aware of that you have told the Queen." Something's wrong with this sentence.----A few lines later you either need to run two paragraphs in dialogue together, or use a quotation mark before "You realize that once you give yourself to Richard...".----3 more computer glitches, where your paragraphs are cut in half: "Besides, if I may be so bold...", "I do not pursue a marriage with Richard, nor will I..." and "Now I know that, I cannot release you."----People probably had at least a version of "pain in the ass", but it can't help but strike readers as modern slang.----You need a quote mark before "You know I trust them completely." or combine it with the previous paragraph. (Your paragraphs tend to be awfully short, anyway; short paragraphs tend to add a transparently false excitement.)----"I guess I shall see you in..." "Guess" sounds slangy; suggest "Shall I see you in Poitiers then?"Keep up the good work.Regards,Egon R. TauschA Voice In Rama: A Novel of the Slaughter of the Innocents
Hist.Fict.Readers GrpDear Ms J,Have finally finished ch's 6-9 of your MS (I was delayed by trying to get back all my backings which Authonomy arbitrarily dropped). Queen Eleanor is very well portrayed; just as she comes across in history. Your plot is moving along very well. I am glad that you continue the history, and don't let it degenerate into just a modern love story. You have certainly done your research, and your writing style is spot on. I expect to put you on my shelf when I have read a little further. I hope you don't mind nitpicks; the ones below are interspersed with praise.Ch 6:"stonewalls" -- -- should be two words.Typo: "...room where her favorite" -- -- should be "were""When the tapestries...truly home." -- -- One of the best lines on Authonomy; tells us volumes about the tapestries and Eleanor.Paragraph beginning "Eleanor stopped pacing..." -- -- you go back and forth between Henry's, and it is difficult, since you have never before mentioned Henry II, to tell whether you are talking about father or son. This again occurs in your 3 paragraphs "Ah, but do not forget Louis...to meet Louis in Paris." You mention "Henry", father or son [?], 5 times, all mixed."Richard wonderd why..." -- -- should be "wondered"Ch 7:Your part on the chest called "the Reliquary..." is brilliant detail, without detracting from the action."Three maybe four hours..." -- -- suggest comma after "Three"."Henry never, nor would he ever..." -- -- suggest comma after "ever".Typo: last line in ch -- -- "grateaful" -- -- should be "grateful".Ch 8:"I arrest you in the name of the king Henry." -- -- suggest you drop "the", but capitalize "King".Last line, suggest comma after "Channel".Ch 9:Suggest that you indicate to the reader that you have moved back to the narrative started in your Prologue. I, for one, had forgotten that Broase was telling the story."Soon enough, believe you me,..." -- -- last phrase is modern slang."Richard grumped..." -- -- is there such a word? A cross between "grumbled" and "harrumphed"?"...sons put together haphazardly" -- -- strikes me as slangy. "Matilda's husband..." -- -- should be combined with previous paragraph. I would be very confused about the family relationships described by Geoffrey if I weren't a historian of the period.You imply that William the Marshal is not only fickle in his loyalties but promiscuous with women. I've read 2 biographies of William, and there is no evidence of either characteristic.You drop the death of Rosamond like a bomb, apparently well after the fact.Ch 10:"exchequer" means "from the chequered hall" (the English Treasury). Drop the "ex" if you mean a different hall."When it came time..." -- -- you again have "exchequer", and "brimed" for "brimmed"; and I doubt a thousand knights could be in attendance in any hall that isn't a major cathedral.You mention an "empty plate" -- -- Didn't they still use hollowed out loaves ("trenchers") instead of plates?"Eleanor convinced..." -- -- I would put "had" after "Eleanor"."No, I apologize." -- -- suggest comma be a period.Three paragraphs later -- -- you again use "exchequer", again.Next paragraph -- -- you have the word "stopped" with 3 p's."a frantic wrapping" -- -- should be "rapping"."...to grab his hand again, but he caught it." -- -- Caught what?Second time Richard says "God's leg" -- -- suggest you change it (God's wounds?).Despite all my nitpicks, you are a great story-teller. Will continue reading.Egon R. TauschA Voice In Rama: A Novel of the Slaughter of the Innocents
(Historical Fiction group)Hi Ms J,I read the first three chapters and really enjoyed the story. It's a very vivid opening. I'm not sure you need the line: 'As he closed his eyes to compose himself, he remembered in detail…' and so on. You can just tell of the siege, the reader will know it's the back-story. It would avoid you having to keep saying the description of the siege is Charles's memory. Also, I don't think Charles would have snickered to himself given the situation. You describe action very well, like the catapult rocks hitting the walls, or the men spitting out the spray in the drain. Occasionally you repeat words and phrases close together, which can chime a bit, but that's easily fixed. I'd also try to use less exclamation points. It would help the speech sound more natural.I like the portraits of Eleanor and Anne in Ch 1. And the characters and interactions at the banquet are well described. Raymond's proposal to Richard in the next chapter is perfectly vile. I think it's often best to use 'said' to describe speech, rather than words like 'chided' or 'snapped'. There's no need to repeat your short pitch in the longer one. I think you could use the long pitch to give more details of the plot, as it's quite a big book.Overall this is a very good piece of historical fiction. Highly starred.Best of luck with it,Andrew.The Morning Drop
Lord of All. A Hist.Fict. read. Your short pitch is succinct, and rouses interest, but you do not need to repeat the concept in the long pitch. Instead, use the words to build up the characters and their emotions, with the broad sweep of your plot, perhaps?I take notes as I read, but dont pretend to be an expert. I tend to notice nits - hope you dont mind?Ch.1. Prologue. Great choice of words - 'profane stench', compounded by the vomiting later on. This is a striking opening for your book.Do you want nits?There are some vague / unnecessary words which spoil the flow of a story: rather, certainly, seemed to (Ch.2) just, rather.And words repeated too often / too close together can jar on a descerning editor. Charles, breath/ing, rope, grave (Ch.2) Poitiers, court, count/ess.You reveal some history and back-story through Charles's thoughts. Good technique.For a moment there, I was thinking Charles had let out the chapel - not his breath - perhaps exhaled?Yes - I, like Broase, think Charles is being brash and insensitive. Maybe he was lucky to get away with it!So. A tale within a tale. A well contrived Prologue.Ch.2. (Auth). You create a bustling, charming scene and introduce the practical Eleanor and the lovable Anne in an easy style.Although it passes in the real world, such repetitions in dialogue as 'not to worry' are inadvisable on the printed page.The dialogue between Anne and Millicent flows easily and naturally, while revealing more of their characters and advancing the story.Promise of an appropriately romantic scene provides a hook to draw the reader on.Ch.3. Oh - I wish to have more of their first intimations of love, but you have jumped over the episode.However, you have captured their gaiety well in the repartee between Anne and Richard.And that is a sudden, unsavoury action on Raymond's part.Ch.4. A strong, enthralling beginning to this chapter. And enlightening, for I know very little of the time and customs of your period.'Love is not the issue here, duty and honour are.'Dont you mean Richard waited on the bench where he had seen Anne reading her letter the first time they met?This romantic story is developing well in the tradition of historical fiction, between the folds of weightier matters.I enjoy the light humour of their blossoming love, and the characters are coming alive against a background of heavy tradition.Lots of stars.Jane (Breath of Africa)
Hist Fiction Forum Review:This is my first official review for the historical fiction forum. I picked yours as you seem to have given a lot more reviews than you have received!!!Right, so. This is not a period of history I really know anything about. Mention Richard and John to me and the best I can do is Robin Hood! Probably a good thing, for review purposes, as I can be a bit of a control group for readers who don't know the back story.I'm enjoying the plot. Read chapters 1-5, and Richard and Anne's relationship is shaping up well. She's got a mind of her own, she is sympathetic, she's strong willed. Richard seems a bit knee-weakening and swoony, so all good. Raymond is a great scoundral to set them off! The descriptions of his singing, or rather the listeners' reactions, were highly amusing!I like the rumours and scandals circulating round court, its really breathing life into your settings and seems to fit with other stories from similar periods I've read, or at least my imagination of the period! The set up of Richard's pre-engagement and Anne's wealth (but presumned inability to inherit straight off, as she is a woman?) promises lots of great conflict.The prologue is good, but a little info-heavy. I don't think you need so much about the siege, especially if you will be returning to it later. The horrible toilet shaft and the guarding of the grave in the chapel are, however, an intruiging start and a good hook for getting into the story.Couple of little things:Chapter one features noses quite prominently! Not sure if you were aware, but you describe at least 4 noses in the one chapter. Doesn't seem to happen again in what I have read.I think there should be a break between Eleanor's first conversation with Anne and the start of the feast to clarify the time/location shift.Right at the start of chapter 5 you use sleep twice in about 3 lines - "sleep still clung to their fumbling hands"(love this)..."sleep-ruffled hair"Thoroughly enjoyable, have some stars!
Hist. Fict. Forum ReviewDear S. Lewis, Your Prologue and first 4 ch's and half of 5 are outstanding. I am writing as a professional historian. Thank God you haven't fallen for the revisionists who claim that Richard was homosexual, on no real evidence. Your descriptions of chivalric customs of the time are spot-on (especially the "courts of love"). Your writing is formal enough, without being archaic. I do think that the last part of the ch 5 is a bit too modern, and not oblique enough (even kings followed the prevailing rules of seduction). Also, I doubt Anne would have been too worried about pregnancy: Kings and dukes rarely failed to ennoble their illegitimate children, especially if the mother was a rich Lady. Richard was well aware that he was a direct descendant, and owed his claim to the crown to being so, of William the Conqueror -- -- formerly, "Duke William the Bastard". Richard also had such a passionate view, and had the ability, to conquer far more lands, of which much would have gone to any bastards. Finally, his hatred of his brother John was such that he would have named any son, legitimate or not, his heir to the royal throne. The Middle Ages are chock-full of bastards who became earls, dukes, and even kings. And, of course, Richard finally had no heirs, of any sort, except his hated brother. (And he had William the Marshal, the greatest knight in Europe, to protect his child until he was grown.) Marshal with his army loyally and successfully protected 3 successive totally different named heirs to the throne, the last one a child, against all opposing powers. You might at least hint at some of this, in a line or two about bastardy at the time, for verisimilitude. Also, his protestation to that effect, would make the scene more in keeping with his character, and eye on the crown, rather than only sliding into a modern love scene. I'm sure I'll enjoy the rest of your book greatly, when I can get to it. You know your period very, very well, and are a great plot writer. 6 stars. Bookshelf soon."He is the sixth in line for the succession...Philip, Juan the cook, the master at arms, the pigs, the horses..." One of the best sentences I have read on Authonomy.I only list nitpicks for outstanding MS's:Prologue:Broase shuts the same door twice in 4 lines.Ch 1:"...radiated more than some half her age." -- -- add "women" or "ladies" after "some"."Like most noble women, Marie's father..." -- -- antecedent doesn't match subject of the sentence."She is the heir of the Viscount de Marseilles..." -- -- you have "wealth" and "wealthy" in 3 lines. Change one to "rich"?"...she tried to stiffle her laughter." -- -- stifle?Ch 2:"Later in the week, a joust occurred." -- -- Would suggest a more active verb. "...came the joust."?Ch 3:Castile's friend refuses to answer a question which would reveal his principal. Then a bit later he gives Castile away by mentioning his mercenary motive. -- -- might add something like "He blurted, before realizing the consequences." It seems the whole court learned who the parties were due to that indiscretion.Ch 5:"...her lady Marguerite who she sent for some wine." -- -- should be "whom".Great job,Egon R. TauschA Voice In Rama: A Novel of the Slaughter of the InnocentsP.S. Please read my MS and give me brutally honest comments.
Read through chapter 5. I admire the attention to detail and time that comes with writing an historic novel. I especially enjoyed the exchange of the flower on the morning ride. She'd been tearing them apart one at a time, but she didn't tear the petals off that one. Lovely! GeorgiaThe Woman From E.A.R.L.
Read the prologue. I love the idea of a soldier crawling through what is basically a sluice pipe, into a church to guard a grave. WOW! The contrast between the sewer and the church, the fact that they had to break the church glass, the battle, the King, wanting to be alone with the grave of his beloved. So far this is an awesome epic story. I've already given it high stars and will read on.
A nice, descriptive and well written book. Your writing style is very impressive and realistic with vivid description and narrative is at great pace. Highly rated.
Kate, Thank you so very much for taking the time to read. I sincerely appreciate your comments. I've wondered about the opening scene myself. I do use Father Broase and Charles to help move the plot along as the book covers so many years. I'm still debating what to do with that. I will keep reading yours. Today was just insane and I couldn't get back to it. (Grrrrrrr!)Cheers,Ms. J
Jack, Thank you so much for taking the time to read. I really appreciate it. I also very much appreciate your comments. I've got your book on my watch list, and I will be reading it tomorrow. I meant to today, but things got crazy with a couple of students today and I ended up in meetings until late this evening. Thanks again, Ms. J
Hist Fict ReviewHi,I have read and thoroughly enjoyed this up to the end of chapter 5. I'm enjoying the story of Anne and Richard very much. It reminds me of Katherine by Anya Seyton. I think you've got the pace of the story just right.I had a couple of questions, rather than any suggestions.Do you need the opening scene? I found the story of Charles climbing up into the castle was a little heavy on back story and didn't feel it added anything to my reading of the story, knowing that Richard and Anne are dead (I mean obviously they are dead now, but in the fictional world of your book they are not!)How old was Richard I at the opening of the book? I wondered if a little more explanation of Eleanor's marriages would be appropriate and wanted to know what dates the court at Poitiers took place.And lastly, I have a slight believability issue about Anne's conduct and Eleanor encouraging her to meet Richard. I enjoyed those parts tremendously so it was only a minor worry!I'll give this lots of stars and keep it on my watch list for now. It's the kind of story I'd happy buy and read.Best,Kate
Hist. Fict. Read -- I hope I'm doing this right ;o)I have read to chapter 3 so far, and I am greatly enjoying it. The time period is one that I don't know much about, but you do give good descriptions (if anything, I think you could be even more descriptive of the surroundings, fashions etc.) and seem to be comfortable with the period as such. The way the characters speak is perhaps a little too informal on occasion - expressions like "carry on" or when Eleanor says "...the lady in question is perhaps a bit too much for the knight..." (Ch. 3) sound off to me in the context of the time period.The story itself certainly has the makings of an epic love story! The character of Anne is very likeable and well-drawn, and Richard is also shaping up. Anne's dilemma of facing a marriage of convenience instead of a love match is becoming very clear.I will definitely keep on reading!

By Matt Williams
Staff writer
---- — GLOUCESTER — The only goal the Beverly girls needed to extend the longest winning streak in the program's eight-year history may have looked easy. It was anything but.
Kristen McCarthy's artful tip off a Caitlin McBride bomb with 3:29 left in the first stood up as the game-winner as the Panthers shut down Masconomet, 2-0, Saturday evening at Talbot Rink.
The win leaves Beverly (8-0) as the lone unbeaten team in GEIMHL Northeast Division action and in sole possession of first place. The Chieftains (4-3) lost their first league game and second straight overall.
Beverly's execution on that first power play was the difference. Captain Livvy Konaxis cycled the puck to McBride, a junior defenseman with a wicked slapshot, at the top of the Panthers' formation.
McBride hesitated just long enough for a shooting lane to open, slapping the puck through traffic where McCarthy could redirect it high into the net.
"It's something we've worked on in practice, to not bury our heads when we're shooting from out there," said Beverly coach Brian Seabury. "Caitlin kept her head up on that one, saw what was in front of her and put it right where she needed to."
The game remained tight for the next 27 minutes of play thanks largely to Masco's senior goalie, Alex Jones. She made 27 saves in all and kept it a 1-0 game despite a heavy advantage for the Panthers in possession and shots on goal (8-1 in the first, 10-2 in the third and 29-10 for the game).
"Alex keeps us in every game," Masco coach Nicole Twomey said. "We always have a shot, every time we're on the ice, because of the way she plays."
The Chieftains' best period was the second, in which they hit seven of their 10 shots on goal. Defenseman Nancy Palermo had a shot to tie it up on the power play late in the period, but Ami Thompson made the save. She also held strong on a scrum at the top of her crease in the second, saving a point-blank bid from Kylie Currier, and earned her third shutout of the season.
"It was a pretty solid game for us. That was probably as well as we've played defensively," Seabury said. "The way the game went, Ami could've lost concentration, but she was there and she came up big on that power play."
Beverly could've put the game away with a 5-on-3 advantage in the third. Masco called on Palermo and freshmen Lily Dow and Currier on the kill, and along with Jones they got the job done.
"All the credit goes to the girls on that," Twomey said. "We have high expectations of them, regardless of their age. We called on them and they delivered."
Anna O'Neill gave the Panthers some breathing room by slamming a loose puck home at the post with 5:52 to play. Konaxis earned her second assist of the game on the goal, and McBride picked up her second point.
Try as they might, Masco simply couldn't generate shots or quality scoring chances, even when they had possession in the offensive zone.
"The offense was really nonexistent for us," Twomey said. "There were things we can take out of the game. We were hungry for the puck, and we were aggressive, but we have to be more aggressive in front of the net and in those quality scoring areas."
Beverly's defense was certainly part of the problem for Masco. Senior captain Katie Szela was excellent, breaking up two rushes in the third period, and freshmen Anna Hayden and Rachel Spencer continued to play well.
Jones' best save was a kick stop on O'Neill in the second that highlighted her lateral mobility. She made a similar stop in the first after three Panthers converged on Dana Valletti in the slot and that led to a 2-on-1 between Konaxis and O'Neill. On that one, however, O'Neill was hauled down, leading to Beverly's first power play and McCarthy's winning goal.
