Lakers forward Metta World Peace delivered a blow to the side of the head of Oklahoma City guard James Harden that earned him a flagrant-two foul and an immediate ejection. A suspension of one game or more is likely.
World Peace, who had 12 points late in the second quarter following his third dunk of the game, pounded his chest alternately with both fists. Then, as Harden was moving toward the baseline, World Peace swung his left arm above his shoulder and struck Harden in the left side of his head, sending the Thunder guard crashing to the court.
The incident with 1:37 left in the first half sparked all types of reactions. As Harden was motionless on the court, World Peace stood in a boxing stance as Thunder forwards Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka rushed toward World Peace. The fans at Staples Center and Lakers teammates seemed to think it was just an accident, something World Peace indicated with his body language to officials afterwards
Seeing it live, it appeared that World Peace's elbow was nothing but an accident. Maybe he was too giddy over his dunk to realize Harden was there. Maybe he didn't realize how far out he was swinging his arms. Maybe he didn't know his own strength. The replays appear to show otherwise. Harden bumped into him. World Peace backed into him. Then he cocked back his arm before delivering the blow.
World Peace post 12 points on four-of-10 shooting, five rebounds and three steals while holding Durant to a three-of-eight shooting clip. But the Lakers will miss that presence in the second half and likely beyond.

Business in brief
Applebee's Neighborhood Bar & Grill is currently renovating 12 of its restaurants throughout Metro Richmond in an effort it calls the "River City Recharge." Each restaurant will get a complete interior and exterior makeover worth $200,000, as well as menu and service enhancements. Applebees will also hire 369 team members over six months, including 18 managers. This project will invest more than $8 million in the Richmond/Norfolk market and it's also one of the first markets in the country to go through these remodels. Completion is expected in mid-June. For details, visit http://www.applebees.com .
ComedySportz has relocated to a new location in Gold's Gym Plaza, 8906-H W. Broad St. The show schedule is 8 p.m. on Fridays and 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Saturdays. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. ComedySportz no longer features a restaurant. For details, call 266-9377.
Firehouse Subs opened its fourth restaurant in the region May 9, at 8191-A Brook Rd. in Henrico. This is the fourth location for owner Randy Evans and partners Brad and Brett Osterhout.
A recent report released by HealthGrades named Bon Secours' St. Mary's Hospital among the top five percent in the nation for emergency medicine and Henrico Doctors' Hospital, including Parham Doctors' Hospital and Retreat Doctors' Hospital, among the top five percent in the nation for women's health.
Bon Secours has launched ConnectCare, an application that allows patients to access their confidential information, including medical history, allergies, test results and medications, at any time via PC or Apple, iPhone, iPad or iPad Touch. This technology is the only one of its kind in the region. The patient's care team, including physicians and medical staff, can also access this information to review charts and have dictated notes transcribed, enabling them to remotely make critical decisions.
Monica Longest Horsley, owner of invitation and stationary store By Invitation Only, has sold the business to Kerri DiStanlo, currently a stay-at-home mom and owner of Polka Dot Paper Shop, an online paper store. Horsley, a former school teacher, bought the business in 2002 and relocated it from Innsbrook to the Shoppes at Westgate in Short Pump. DiStanlo plans on adding new brands, creating online ordering and expanding the store's wedding selection. Horsley plans to stay on staff throughout the summer to ensure a smooth transition.
Chick-fil-A in The Shops at Willow Lawn recently reopened in a new location just outside the mall. The new restaurant faces Willow Lawn Dr. just down from Starbucks and Staples. Hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Saturday. Since opening in 1987, the store has generated hundreds of jobs and awarded more than $15,000 in scholarships to its restaurant team members. In addition, the restaurant is actively involved in many local schools, churches and community organizations.
The deadline for nominations for Allen and Allen's 2011 Hometown Heroes award is May 27. A hometown hero is someone who provides random acts of kindness and engages in every day actions that improve the community. Nominations will be taken at http://www.allenandallen.com/hometown-heroes

Western Henrico Rotary helps fund Midwives For Haiti Jeep
Thanks in part to a $10,000 gift from the Western Henrico Rotary Club, another bright pink Jeep modified to travel extremely rough terrain has been delivered to Midwives For Haiti so that more pregnant women in the quake-ravaged country will have access to prenatal care and a greater chance of surviving childbirth.
The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

New Lawmakers Prepare for Nevada's Next Session
Listen to the story
Brandon Rittiman/KUNR
The legislature will begin with 21 brand-new freshmen lawmakers... but plenty of experienced people moved to new seats.
Thanks to new term limits, several assembly members ran for senate seats and won... and one Senator ... Maggie Carlton of Las Vegas... went the other way. She's now a new assemblywoman.
All told, there are 30 people in new positions.
Unlike the governor, who takes office in January, the newly elected lawmakers are already in their terms.
This week is the first of several training periods the lawmakers will go through before starting the actual session on February 7.
Right now it's the basics: get issued a computer... learn to file reports... get a tour of the building.
Later they'll do mock floor sessions and committee meetings so they can be sharp on the procedure when it's time to do it for real.
Lorne Malkiewich, who heads the nonpartisan staff for the legislature, says it's a critical crash course.
Malkiewich: "Particularly this session, with the major issues we're facing this upcoming session and the number of new people we have we know we're going to need them to work with the returning legislators. We're going to have a number of them in important positions so we want to get them trained as quickly as possible."
Lawmakers are already facing a deadline- they have less than a month to propose their first five bills.
In Carson City, Brandon Rittiman, KUNR News.

KALKASKA — Two Kalkaska truck wash workers were hospitalized for burns after fumes from an oil tanker they cleaned ignited in a flash fire.
Kalkaska Township Fire Chief Derek Hogerheide said fire crews were dispatched Wednesday at 9:05 p.m. to a report of a fire and explosion at the Kalkaska Truck Wash off Cedar Street.
Ambulances were already transporting two injured workers to Munson Medical Center when firefighters arrived, he said.
"When we got there, the back of the truck was on fire and the floor drains were on fire," he said. "Everything was extinguished quickly."
The men — ages 19 and 58 — remain hospitalized, and Hogerheide didn't know the extent of their burns.
He said one may be released as soon as today and both are expected to recover.
The Kalkaska Truck Wash is owned by American Waste and Northern A-1 and offers tanker cleaning services.
Hogerheide said the two workers were cleaning out a 60-barrel tanker used to transport water removed during oil production.
He said they were cleaning out oil and condensate, a clear byproduct of oil product, with hot steam.
"The fumes from the oil and condensate traveled to an adjacent room where they were ignited by the steamer," he said.
The steamer had an igniter similar to a hot water heater that was the ignition source, he said.
Hogerheide said this led to a flash fire. Condensate on the floor also ignited and continued to burn, he said.
"Unfortunately, a little bit can be catastrophic if ignited," he said.
Hogerheide said the fire department's investigation was complete and state health and safety officials would take over.
Cassie Hickens, director of human resources with American Waste, which owns the truck wash, said the company's safety department continues to investigate the incident.

Players of all ages should continually try to improve their speed and agility. Soccer players that demonstrate greater quickness and speed on and off the ball, have an obvious advantage over players that don't.

Financially, We're All Conservatives Now
Northwestern Mutual study says we're saving more, want safer investments, and accept later retirements.
Even before recent market reversals, Americans believed their financial difficulties would last for a long time, according to a new study funded by Northwestern Mutual. The nation's sober attitude toward its financial future may reflect long-term shifts toward more conservative investment and retirement goals.
[See Annuity Buyers Seek Safety, Risk Guarantees.] "The prevailing consensus is that steady and slow will win the race," Greg Oberland, a company executive vice president, said in a prepared statement. "People have recalibrated their personal risk-reward meters, and are putting much greater value on achieving stable growth over longer timelines."
Northwestern Mutual highlighted six "resounding" financial realities that emerged from its study:
1) Squeezing dollars is the new norm. Three-fourths of Americans favor investments that are safe, steady, and secure, and which are geared to their long-term needs. Investment guarantees and lower risk were also favored by large majorities.
2) We're not out of the woods yet. Nearly two-thirds of people said they experienced significant financial challenges during the past 18 months and they have adopted new priorities based on a defensive view of future conditions.
3) The tortoise will win the race, not the hare. Among people who do have financial plans for the future (that includes you, right?), 75 percent have extended the time frames for realizing their financial goals, and more than 80 percent of those 35 and older have done so.
4) Saving is better than spending. Looked at in terms of percentage changes, savings rates will continue to increase more than consumer spending. In this respect, individual Americans are behaving exactly like corporations, which have amassed their largest cash holdings in recent times. Uncertainty breeds caution.
Retired Workers Will Be Wooed to Return.]
5) Even young people get it. Younger people have shifted toward saving more to a greater degree than people nearing retirement. Of course, part of the reason for this may be that they feel they have no choice, as the older generation will plow through Social Security reserves and leave nothing behind.
6) Women are more conservative then men. By margins of 10 to 15 percentage points depending on the question, women seek more safety and security from investments, as well as guaranteed returns and lower risk.
The study, called Financial Realities: Changing Timeframes, was conducted by Harris Interactive in online surveys of more than 1,000 adults in March and April.

not a mattress pad. just a cover. this is the absolute *thinnest* mattress "pad" i've ever bought... it's not much thicker than a folded up flat sheet. that said, for a mattress cover, it's a good price.

Jay Gould was called a lot of things in his day, and not much of it was flatter- ing in the business world, such as "robber baron." In the 21st century some might call him a "one percenter."
But Jay Gould wasn't always considered "evil." There is proof of that standing today in Roxbury, in the form of the Jay Gould Memorial Reformed Church.
Gould was born in Roxbury, and as rich and powerful as he became, he never forgot his hometown. When Gould learned a wooden church burned in a fire in November 1891, he vowed to help finance a new church to be built of bricks and stone so it would never burn down again.
Unfortunately Gould never got to see the church, as he died in 1892, but the project was taken on by his children, led by daughter Helen Miller Gould Shepard. They agreed the church would be built in the memory of their father.
The church and the congregation had a history going back to 1802. The Reformed Church of Roxbury was organized by the Rev. Moses Froeligh on Aug. 30 of that year as "The Church of Beaverdam," as prior to being named Roxbury the settlement had been known as Beaverdam.
While the church was formed, services were at first held in a barn on the Jonas More farm, in the area known today as Hubbells Corners. Before this church organized, the nearest Dutch Reformed Church was in Prattsville.
The date of construction of the first church at the Roxbury Cemetery is unknown, but was probably soon after 1802, according to the "History of the Town of Roxbury."
There the church stood until the fire on Sunday night, Nov. 22, 1891, destroyed it. The insurance had lapsed, except for $600 the Ladies' Social Society had on some furniture. While things looked bleak, the congregation decided to rebuild.

What is Pediatric Physical Therapy?
Pediatric physical therapy promotes independence, increases participation, enables motor development and function, improves strength, enhances learning opportunities, and eases care giving.
A pediatric physical therapist's examination and evaluation may include:
- Muscle and joint function
- Mobility
- Strength and endurance
- Cardiopulmonary status
- Motor development
- Posture
- Balance and coordination
- Sensory and neuromotor development
- The use of and need for adaptive equipment and assistive technology wheel chairs, front wheel walkers
- The need for orthotics and prosthetics
What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric Occupational therapy practitioners work with children, youth and their families to promote active participation in activities or occupations that are meaningful to them.
Occupational therapy practitioners provide services by collaborating with other professionals to identify and meet the needs of children experiencing delays or challenges in development.
They do so by:
- Identifying and modifying or overcoming barriers that interfere with, restrict, or inhibit a child's functional performance;
- Teaching and modeling skills and strategies to children and their families to extend therapeutic interventions; and
- Adapting activities, materials, and environmental conditions so children can participate under different conditions and in various environments.
Pediatric physical therapists work in the outpatient pediatric rehabilitation clinic, pediatric in-patient acute unit, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and the Cleft Palate Program.
For questions or to schedule an appointment with a pediatric physical therapist, please contact the Pediatric Rehabilitation Program at (323) 260-5836.
Feeding Evaluation and Therapy:
Pediatric Occupational Therapists at White Memorial specialize in feeding and swallowing, treating a great deal of children, from neonates to school age, with feeding disorders.
Treatment plans are made in collaboration with the family according to the needs found in the results of the initial evaluation. A Video Fluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS) may be recommended.
Occupational Therapy in the NICU
Neonatal occupational therapists possess extensive training and experience working with this specialized population. They provide oral motor/feeding and developmental evaluation/treatment of premature and medically fragile infants.
Oral motor/feeding therapy includes determining the safety of oral feeding, optimal positioning for feeding, feeding techniques to improve the quality of feeding by breast or bottle, and working collaboratively with the medical team to establish feeding schedules to support of the health of the baby. It includes teaching and supporting parents in the safest and most efficient way to feed their fragile infant.
Developmental evaluations and interventions are done as a team approach with the physical therapist and developmental therapy, including hands-on treatment to affect muscle tone and movement patterns as well as positioning to facilitate optimal development. Occupational therapists can ease the transition from hospital to home by providing parent education as it relates to feeding and development.
For questions or to schedule an appointment with a pediatric physical therapist, please contact the Pediatric Rehabilitation Program at (323) 260-5836.
Sensory Integration Evaluation and Therapy:
From the womb into adulthood, our neurological systems are developing and processing an overwhelming amount of sensory information every day. Our system must then interpret this information and make it ready to be used for specific purposes.
Proper intake and use of sensory input is absolutely critical to a child's development process and the building of core, foundational skills.
Sensory Integration Activities are the lifeline to providing and achieving the necessary challenges for your child so they can get the most out of:
- Daily functioning
- Intellectual, social, and emotional development
- Development of a positive self-esteem
- A mind and body which is ready for learning
- Positive interactions in the world around him/her
- The achievement of normal developmental milestones
Occupational therapy practitioners work in a variety of settings to address sensory needs of children and adults. Services may be provided in school, clinic, home, or community settings.
Cleft Lip and Palate
Cleft lip and palate are gaps in the upper lip and palate (the bony plate at the roof of the mouth). They often occur together, and are caused by incomplete closing of the two sides of the face in the developing embryo. If left untreated, children with cleft lip and palate can suffer lifelong handicaps including severe facial deformities, chronic dental and hearing problems, malnutrition and even social interactions.
The Cleft Palate Program at White Memorial Medical Center has served the community since 1980. We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for children from birth to 21 years, as well as adults. Our Cleft Palate Program is approved by California Children's Services for the child's total cleft palate care. The program provides coordinated cleft team care at a single location, working side by side with a patient's pediatrician or primary care physician. We also accept all types of insurance, including CCS, Medi-cal, and HMO's, Regional Center funding and private insurance.

Cleft Palate Continuum Care
Many children have problems with their speech. Sometimes a speech problem is caused by how the soft palate moves or a soft palate that is too short. With these children, the voice will sound very nasal. Sometimes it is because the soft palate and the muscles in the throat do not work together.
A nasoendoscopy may need to be done to see how the soft palate is working. This is a test that allows a doctor and speech pathologist to look at the soft palate and the back of the throat as your child speaks.

Tanner's finding a brighter future up front for the Terrors
1:00pm Friday 30th August 2013 in Tooting & Mitcham United By Graham Moody, Sports Reporter
TJ Nkomo could be the next big thing to come out of Tooting & Mitcham after bursting on to the scene with a hat-trick on Monday.
The 17-year-old striker, promoted from the Terrors' youth team this season, started his first game against Corinthian Casuals with Frankie Sawyer sidelined with a hamstring injury.
And he proved a more than adequate replacement as he smashed in three goals in a 5-1 romp.
"He was involved in pre-season and has impressed, so we felt he deserved his opportunity," said Tanner, who re-signed Jordan Wilson and Troy Williams last week.
"He is a little, speedy striker and has everything you don't want as a centre back. He is right footed, but scored his hat-trick with his left foot – one from 25 yards, one a run in behind the defence and the other a tap in.
"He definitely has a big future and we have to make sure we protect him and develop him as much as we can."
While Nkomo was grabbing the headlines up front, Tanner also had special praise for centre back Aaron Dalhouse.
"We have had a few changes but the players that have come in have done well, particularly Aaron," he added.
"He came on for the second half against Walton Casuals and played the whole 90 minutes on Monday and I think him and Colin Hartburn can make a really good centre-back partnership."
Once a Terror, always a Terror: Jordan Wilson has re-signed for Tooting & Mitcham United SP63576
Having drawn 2-2 with Peacehaven & Telscombe last Wednesday and lost 3-2 to Walton Casuals on Saturday, a first league victory on Monday – which included two goals for Sol Pinnock, taking him to four for the season – was relief for Tanner.
Meanwhile, Tanner had to watch from the sidelines last year as his then team-mates Met Police made it to the first round proper of the FA Cup – a journey he would like to make with the Terrors this season, starting at Leatherhead on Saturday.
"It was good to get that win before the cup," he said.
"Now we just need to go out there and do exactly what we did on Monday."

Saints SS Roman Harper wasn't thrilled that he lost a chance to become an unrestricted free agent last offseason because of the rules of the uncapped year, but, as one source pointed out this week, he could more than make up for whatever he missed out on once he hits free agency again in 2011. A longtime team observer said Harper, who is playing on a one-year, $2.521 million tender, is going to hit the open market with a strong hand to play. If his five accrued seasons are enough to allow him to become an unrestricted free agent per the guidelines of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, and it's likely that they will, Harper should be one of the best safeties available. He had one of his worst performances of the season against Baltimore in Week 15, but he's second on the team in tackles (88), has three sacks, one interception and has forced six fumbles, which is tied for second in the league, and is well on his way to a career year.

How should my 2XU Cycle garments fit?
Your 2XU Cycle tops should fit loosely whilst standing upright in order to facilitate a snug, comfortable fit when stretched out or in the crouched position on the bike. Having said this, your jersey should never 'cut in' uncomfortably to the body. If this is occurring, you should review your size choice.
To achieve optimal aerodynamics through the air, Shorts and Bibs should be neat against the skin with no excess fabric.
For upper body Jerseys, a streamlined fit is ideal; however a free range of movement in the shoulders is essential, as is comfort in the underarms.
A little extra space between you and the garment will also promote breathability and ventilation.
For specific sizing, please refer to our Size Chart. You will also find some helpful fit-related information in the FAQ section of the website.
Kinetic technology utilises 6 unique fabrics; 70D Kinetic Speed, Kinetic X, Kinetic, Neo Kinetic X, Neo Kinetic and Kinetic Sub. Each fabric contains the following product enhancing features:
Unmatched moisture management

Powerful compression for greater endurance + unmatched speed
Unparalleled stretch + recovery

The Vampire Diaries Episode 321
"Before Sunset"
Story By: Charlie Charbonneau & Daphne Miles
Teleplay By: Caroline Dries
Directed By: Chris Grismer
Original Airdate: 3 May 2012
In This Episode...
Alaric is hanging out in his (old) classroom. Without a daylight ring, he doesn't have a lot of options. Rebekah and Caroline are there to clean up for the dance. Partially out of boredom, Alaric attacks Rebekah. Caroline comes to her rescue, and the girls escape outside. Ric braves the sun and charges after them, only managing to catch Caroline. With his skin blistering, he snaps her neck and drags her back inside to keep as his prisoner and lure Elena over. Rebekah reports home to Klaus and insist they leave town at once. Klaus won't leave without his doppelganger. He goes to the Gilbert home and launches an attack, trying to lure Elena out. Damon and Stefan are there with Jeremy, and they quickly realize that Elena is gone. The three vampires reluctantly agree that they must join forces against a more immediate threat: Alaric.
Ric can't be killed, but Bonnie enlists in her mothers help to recreate the desiccation spell she cast on Michael. It will require Stefan, Klaus, and Damon to drink a small amount of her blood so they will all be connected, then link with Alaric via blood so she can channel the spell through them and into Ric. Unfortunately, it also requires a human heart to be stopped. Jeremy will help with that (he's got the ring and all).Inside the school, Elena has distracted Alaric long enough to free Caroline, but this just angers Ric. He beats her up... but he can't kill her. The Salvatores attack, and he breaks their necks. This allows Klaus the chance to plunge his hand into Ric's chest, opening up that blood connection and allowing Bonnie to start the spell. But it doesn't last long. Ric breaks Klaus's hand, severing the connection. Elena appears with a knife to her throat, threatening to kill herself. She has realized that he is tied to her life. If she dies, Ric dies. Klaus comes to and steals her away.
Klaus takes Elena home, ties her to a chair, and has a nurse set about draining her of every last drop of blood. It's not ideal, but at this point it is Klaus's best option. That way he can still build his hybrid army - albeit a smaller one - and rid himself of Alaric. At this point, Alaric doesn't have much choice - he needs the Salvatores to save Elena to ensure his own survival. Stefan and Damon break into Klaus's mansion. They are joined by Tyler, who is there pretending to be sire-bound but in actuality trying to save Elena. The boys scuffle, and Elena, weak from blood loss, hits her head on a table and collapses. Since they couldn't do it to Alaric, Stefan activates the desiccation spell on Klaus. It works.
With Klaus out of commission, and Alaric only a threat a few hours out of the day, the gang does something they haven't done in a long time: party. Bonnie, Caroline, Matt, Jeremy, and Tyler are all waiting for Elena when she gets home, with food and tequila shooters. Danger still awaits, but for tonight, they enjoy themselves. They finally got rid of Klaus! Damon and Stefan drive Klaus out to the coast to toss him in the Atlantic ocean. Alaric, of course, isn't done. He calls an emergency meeting of the Founder's Council, and outs Sheriff Forbes's daughter and Mayor Lockwood's son as a vampire and a vamp/werewolf hybrid. The Council is shocked - but they are more shocked when Alaric reveals himself to be a vampire. As the partying at the Gilbert household comes to an end, Elena bids Jeremy good-night, does a little more painting in Alaric's old room - and collapses.
Dig It or Bury It?
I literally had to stop and catch my breath after this episode. So much fighting. So much backstabbing. So much awesomeness. I think that we are supposed to think that Elena's collapse at the end of the episode is something supernatural, but it actually isn't. Think about it: she lost a lot of blood, got a head injury, drank tequila, and inhaled paint fumes. I'm surprised she could still stand.
Sibling Rivalry
Stefan and Damon have a nice bonding moment when are disposing of Klaus (because body dumps always bring people closer). For all of Klaus's attempts to tear the Salvatores apart, it has actually brought them closer together, finally allowing them to be brothers after over a century. But then there is the nasty business of what happens when Elena chooses a Salvatore. They each agree that whoever she doesn't choose will leave town and allow the couple to live happily ever after. They can be brothers again in 60 years or so.
Blood Lust
And we are back to the torture! When Alaric holds Caroline hostage, he does so by tying her to a classroom chair/desk combo, and impales her hands with number two pencils, keeping her lashed to the desk. He also gags her with a cloth soaked in vervain so that "every breath is like inhaling razor blades."
TVD always does great season finales, and I suspect next week's won't disappoint. Elena flashes back to a simpler time, before vampires, and before her parents' death, and all the characters seem to make "heartbreaking" and "life changing" decisions.

Texas A&M beats Washington State, 55-54
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Elston Turner hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 2 seconds left, and Texas A&M stunned Washington State 55-54 on Tuesday night in the consolation game of the CBE Classic.
D.J. Shelton had a chance to ensure at least overtime for the Cougars (2-3) when he went to the foul line with 17.5 seconds remaining. He managed to make the first free throw but missed the second, leaving his team clinging to a two-point lead as the Aggies (4-1) raced up court.
J'Mychal Reese got the ball in the hands of Turner and he cleared out the right side of the lane as if he was planning to drive for a tying basket.
Instead, he launched a 3-pointer that hit nothing but net.
The Cougars' Royce Woolridge could only get off a half-court heave that fell short, and the Aggies stormed the court to celebrate.
Utah Valley defeats Eastern Washington 86-83
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Ben Aird scored 25 points and Jason Johnson added 18 as Utah Valley overcame a double-digit second-half deficit to beat Eastern Washington 86-83 in a CBE Hall of Fame Classic game on Tuesday night.
Each team had five players score in double figures. Alfonzo Hubbard added 16 points, Nick Thompson 11 and Antoine Hosley 10 for the Wolverines (3-2), who utilized a 31-9 run during an 8:57 stretch of the second half to turn a 10-point hole into a 66-54 cushion.
The Eagles (0-4) never led the rest of the way, but they didn't go quietly, rallying to within three points in the final minute, and Justin Crosgile's 3-pointer at the buzzer missed. Venky Jois scored 16 points, Martin Seiferth 14 and Crosgile, Jeffrey Forbes and Collin Chiverton 13 each for Eastern Washington.
Utah Valley protected its lead by making 7 of 8 free throws in the final 1:15.
Seattle cuts ties with INF Chone Figgins
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners have ended the disappointing tenure of Chone (shahn) Figgins in the Northwest, designating the veteran for assignment with one year remaining on his contract.
Seattle made the move on Tuesday night, one of a number of moves to get its 40-man roster set. The Mariners also designated outfielder Scott Cousins, who was claimed off waivers from Toronto on Nov. 6.
Figgins never found success in Seattle after signing a $36 million, four-year contract in 2009. He has $8 million remaining on his deal. General manager Jack Zduriencik (zur-EHN'-sihk) says that Figgins just became an "expendable piece," as the Mariners moved to protect some younger prospects on their 40-man roster.
Figgins hit just .227 in 304 games over three seasons with the Mariners. He could be traded in the next 10 days but will likely be released.
Seattle trades Robinson to Baltimore for Andino
SEATTLE (AP) — Looking to add depth to the infield, the Seattle Mariners have acquired versatile Robert Andino from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for reserve outfielder Trayvon Robinson.
The trade was made Tuesday and instantly gives the Mariners an experienced infielder who can play second base, third base and shortstop. Despite struggling at the plate, Andino has played in 266 games the last two seasons for the Orioles. Andino started 106 games last season for the Orioles, including 96 at second base.
Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik says the ability to add a versatile infielder with proven experience was appealing.
Robinson played in 90 games over the past two seasons for the Mariners. He hit .215 in his limited major league time, but was caught in a log-jam of outfielders seeking playing time in Seattle.
Seahawks rookie Winston Guy suspended 4 games
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks rookie safety Winston Guy has been suspended for four games without pay for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
The league announced the suspension Tuesday. He will begin the suspension immediately and will be eligible to rejoin Seattle's active roster Dec. 17.
Guy's agent, Greg Linton, says the positive test was the result of an ingredient found in an over-the-counter supplement that his client took. He says Guy has no intentions of appealing his suspension and called it an innocent mistake.
Guy, a sixth-round pick out of Kentucky, has been active for only two of 10 games this season.
116th Civil War looks like it'll be a game.
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — While they're still underdogs, the Oregon State Beavers certainly have more reasons to be hopeful this season heading into Saturday's Civil War against rival Oregon.
The surprising No. 16 Beavers are not only buoyed by their own dramatic turnaround but also by the vulnerabilities No. 5 Oregon showed in last weekend's loss to Stanford.
Oregon State has already defied the odds by improving to 8-2 overall after going just 3-9 last season. After two years without a bowl game, the Beavers were bowl eligible early after a 6-0 start, their best since the 1907 season.
They've also overcome an injury to starting quarterback Sean Mannion, and now one to successful backup-turned-starter Cody Vaz.
Tuel may play his final game Friday
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The Apple Cup game on Friday may be Washington State quarterback Jeff Tuel's last appearance as a Cougar. Or it may not.
The NCAA has not decided whether it will grant Tuel an extra year of eligibility, and Tuel has not decided if he would return even if another year is offered.
It's been an emotional season for Tuel, who has been in and out of the starting lineup as coach Mike Leach has juggled him and sophomore Connor Halliday.
Tuel started last weekend's game against Arizona State, but was yanked in favor of Halliday when the Cougars didn't move the ball. They ended up losing 46-7.
Leach says Tuel will likely start Friday's game against archrival Washington.
Pac-12 has 8 teams eligible for bowls
PHOENIX (AP) — The Pac-12 didn't come close to filling its bowl allotment two years ago, sending four teams to the postseason.
The conference is back on track this season: eight bowl-eligible teams, the possibility of two in BCS bowls and an outside shot at the national title game.
UCLA has already locked up the South Division, while Stanford and Oregon are in the mix for the North's spot in the Nov. 30 Pac-12 championship game.
Oregon State, Washington, Southern California and both Arizona schools also are bowl eligible heading into the final week of the season.
The Ducks will likely get a BCS bowl slot if they beat the rival Beavers in the Civil War game on Saturday and could get into the BCS title game with help.

John retired and she will search for a new partner.
I'm sorry to hear that; they were doing so well!
The article says she's planning to find a new partner - I wonder how the heights would work with Bryce Davison?
I just don't get this one at all...
Team Peeps!
When I first saw this, I thought it was a late April Fool's joke.
It sounds like John may be ready to hang up his skates. He's been through a lot the past year or two. Whatever happens, I wish both of them the best.
I don't see John with Caydee. I wonder if Caitlin will re-team with Daniyel Cohen.
I wonder if Rockne is kicking himself for not waiting a little longer to find a partner. not that I think Caitlyn would be a great fit for him, but he wouldn't look like her dad.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?

My mother does not get Universal Sports. This conversation occurred regarding worlds:
Me: Y/C got sixth place.
Mom: That is amazing for one of our pair teams! Wow!
Me: Isn't it? Maybe they can move up from there.
Mom: If they actually stay together. They probably won't. U.S. pair teams don't.
She called it.
If they were just splitting and both continuing to skate pairs, this would be very difficult to believe. Unless they simply have "unreconcilable differences" as a pair.
Too bad, though. Their future looked very bright.

Who hasn't heard of New York City? New York is the money capital of the world. It's the home of the NYSE and the United Nations. The city that never sleeps has a wealth of entertainment to offer, from Sports (Yankees, Mets, Knicks, Jets, Giants…to name a few!) to live musicals and plays, incredible museums and fine cuisine from around the world. And we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention the shopping…
And when you've had your fill of the fast paced city life you'll find that "the great outdoors" is just, well, outside your door. New York State boasts beautiful mountains for skiing, an ocean, lakes and rivers for swimming and sailing, and quaint, historic villages everywhere, for relaxing or just catching up on some American History. New Jersey and Connecticut both boast famous seaside towns, and Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains are a short ride away.
It's hard to know where to begin. The theatre? An art museum? Zoos? Sports? You name it, New York City has it, and it's all worth doing. Feast your eyes on a few of these sites:

RALEIGH — Norman Fitzgerald Evans-Pinckney of Raleigh was arrested Wednesday on drug-trafficking charges that police said stemmed from transactions in April.
Evans-Pinckney, 46, was arrested at 1310 Park Glen Drive, where police believed he lived when they swore out arrest warrants.
An arrest report from Wednesday, however, lists his address as 760 St. George Road.
In to the warrants, police accused Evans-Pinckney of selling and delivering three doses of cocaine to the same person on April 17 and 30 and of conspiring with another person to sell or deliver the drug on April.
There is no indication in arrest records that either of the people have been charged.
Evans-Pinckney was being held in lieu of $400,000 bail pending a court appearance Thursday.

Right now I've got 8' cables, but my system is setup in a bad spot (on a chest o' drawers between the speakers. I know, I know, but I at least have it sitting on an isolation platform that works pretty well.
Knowing that I need a better location, I want to move my system to another wall, but keep the speakers where they are. That would mean running a cable around almost half the 11x12 room my rig is in. The farthest cable would be about 24' max with a little slack left over. Is this ok? Sorry if it's a dumb question.
Also, is there an easy way to get my wires under existing wall to wall carpet, some special device, or trick? I've never done that.

I do hope everyone had a good night's sleep and I hope today will be a good day for all of us, with little to no pain. I keep Noah today...and he makes me smile...he is always happy for the most part. He is such a sweet little boy, just like his daddy for the world. I hope he will continue to be a good little boy.
Welcome to the new members who have joined our unique FM support group recently....I am sure that soon each of you will find something that will help you cope better...it does take a trial and error process which does take time and effort...there are no quick fixes that I am aware of...a person should allow at least 6-8 weeks of whatever they decide to try before making a decision as to whether or not it is working.
Vitamin D....I continue to mention just how important Vitamin D is...do your own research on this as there has been quite a bit discovered. Low Vitamin D can cause additional pain for a lot of people and it can also affect other illnesses as well.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Send some sunshine my way if you have any to share.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
Hope others find some relief as well. I did also notice I ran out of my vitamin D and supplements. I am now back on them so this could have made a difference too in helping take some of the pain away. I have felt bad since the week before Christmas. So this is very welcome relief.
Doc wants to drain my knee and do shots in it again. I feel last Sunday in the house and it is all blown up. I'm staying off it hoping it will go down some on it's own.
I so wish it would snow here... Would take a miracle lol... We have had freezing weather for a week now and no snow... Not right to be so cold and not get snow... lol... lol...
I of course loved snow all my life... I grew up in South Dakota and spent many days shoveling snow and building snowmen and making snow angels...
I belong there... But can't live there for so many reasons... I will always be Dakota and have the ole Dakota spirit... It is my strength... It is my vitality...
My grandbabies are having a hard time with my not hearing well... I have the TV up too loud for them... When they want to watch a movie they want the volume down where I can't hear it... I can't closed caption to work on it... So I watch cartoons on you might as well say mute lol... Not very exciting to watch the cartoon over and over... now not to hear them is really a bore lol...
When they come in to talk to me I have to mute the speaker or pause the movie... I can barely hear their tiny voices and I think I need a fog horn... lol... you know one of those old fashioned hearing devices my grandfather used lol... Use to have one but it ended up somewhere else in the family... lol... Unknown whereabouts now... lol...
I am getting more use to reality if I am looking to figure out closed caption... I hate closed captions... I think you miss part of the movie cuz you are too busy reading lol... But I guess I mi a lot of the movie not hearing it... Just like the football game on Sunday... I couldn't hear the refs and broadcasters and relied on the people making comment at home... Didn't work out well... They weren't yelling for my teams lol... So I eventually went to my room where I have 2 speakers 2 feet away from my head almost full blast... I can hear there... But it is unsociable to watch football alone...
I am not as tired today... But have the makings of a whopping migraine... And my pain level is pretty much up there... Not fair to have a wakeful day finally and suffer... Could use a break... Oh well... There is always hope of tomorrow... I think... lol... Maybe... lol... lol... Possibly... lol... lol... lol..
Mimi... I will send you some sunshine... Packaged in a little warmth... Hope you get it soon... The UPS postage was outrageous... lol...
I guess I have to keep some for fellow Arizonian's for the ones that migrated here for winter warmth are sorely regretting it this year... lol... I ran into one who was getting 70 degrees back home when we were getting 35... mmm... but I told him it will get better... It is going up now... high 69 today and up to 72 by Monday... not my fault it takes all day to hit its high lol...
Your hour is up... business to take care of...
Take care... Love... Jan/Dakota
It was cold enough to snow some here but it's melted away now with 38 degree temps with sunshine on and off. Am not sad to see even the lite snow go but am sorry it is heading east and will effect MiMi later today and tonight.
@ angelswife, this is off topic, but I am just saddened to have to say my grand niece is an IDIOT as well as her collage friends. She posted on fb today that the shooting at SandyHock Elementary school, near you, was a hoax, she bases this on the news people didn't talk to any of the parents or parents of the teachers, all this was just to get gun laws. She said from the president on down to the ' fake' parents were in on it. She believes that everyone involved were paid to pretend there was a shooting and the president was not really holding back tears and it is all a hoax. Really? Ya think?
I used to live in LA, where Rodney King asked if " well just couldn't get along? " We know so well people don't just get along and I know tough gun laws will not stop crime or killings, but let's start somewhere. I would love to live in a world where guns can't go into schools and take youngesters lives. And I know, this time, It wouldn't have stopped the shooting @ SandyHook as the killer's mother, with a clean back ground got a clean back ground check, got guns. But she took her son to the firing range knowing he did have mental issues and taught him how to use those guns she bough. The fault lies with her. Gun laws wouldn't have helped.
But lets start somewhere and if that some where is a national back ground checks that take a few extra days, then fine. And so what if you can't by ridiculos amounts of ammo for rapid firing guns for " game " hunting, what's the harm. If we can slow down the clips and bullets going out to rapid and repeating guns, there's a good start. We have riffel, we never use it, be we have it and we can get a box of ammo for it. You have to load the bullets, six I think to use it. Well that's okay I can protect my home and property with it. It won't rapid fire but it will fire. I just can't believe she is following thisline of thinking that's ' It's a hoax ' .
Okay, have a few more errands to run today the sun is out and it's still cold but no ice or snow like when I left earlier.
Have a great day everyone..
Gentle hugs, Linda
I had a rather uneventful day. Work went well. I did try to get tomorrow off and was shot down. I was hoping to get to stay home and study. They did give me Monday off though. I need a long weekend once in a while just to heal up and relax. Good for my body and spirit.
I think me and my new med, Gabapentin have to part. My digestive system can't take it. I stepped my dose up to twice a day and it caused serious blockage. Once a day was tollerable, but forget 2. I don't like dealing with that every day for mild relief from pain. I eat well and get plent of fiber.
There is always an exchange with any med. You get one symptom relieved only to get a new one in exchange. I am frustrated with medications.
We are expecting snow tonight as well. We can still see the grass that is nomally covered under a couple feet by now.
It made it up in the teens today, but the bottom will drop out after tomorrow. 31 for tomorrow's high, -16 tomorrow night. Nothing like a 47 degree drop in 12 hours.
Have a good night everyone. Take care everyone.
Did I tell you my dad is doing much much better. Amazing how a different brand of the "same medicine" made a difference...
I am tired...not much else to report..hope you are all well..
Linda..it is hard to believe what some people say these days...crazy...
She's 22 and in collage and must have been having a slow gossip day so she started the one I replied to. I gentley showed her how her idea couldn't have any truth to it and was surprised to see she took it down from face book. I also have her on twitter and she didn't go there to post anything, so thank goodness for that.
So much hate, such dumd ideas our young are coming up with. Can only guess what her mom and dad think, golly gee, what is this world coming to.
Gentle hugs, Linda R
Bitterly cold but sunny here, not sure I want to go out, but I have a lunch date. DH is working from home and the dog is quiet. She likes the cold, but she's old (12) and might be feeling the effects of age. I swear I hear her bones creak when she gets up. I have a friend who lives in Florida, he 'brags' that their temps are in the 80s, so I keep posting snow pics!
I did something stupid yesterday - I bought a couple of new knives, and I opened the package yesterday - and sliced open my left ring finger. Didn't even feel it - just saw the blood. It's small, doesn't need stitches, but geez it hurts!
Linda, so many people don't think before they form an opinion, but some can be heavily swayed by the people who are around them. Some people think the moon landing was staged. Before you can buy a gun, you should have to prove you have a license.
I wish you all a warm weekend -the best weekend you can possibly have!
Now....I will also say this....there are all sorts of people in this world who do all sorts of weird things....perhaps things have been happening that were almost unreal for people to believe but now we have the internet who allows news to travel really fast. There are lots of things which happen which are *UNBELIEVEABLE*....I happen to be one of the people who has *experienced such*.
Never in a million years would I have thought that I would have witnessed some of the *things* that I have....so much that just does not happen every day to normal people. Things I have not shared with anyone.
I am sure that I could share some things with everyone here that no one would even believe....because there are days when I am not sure that I even believe it happened either. But regardless if anyone *believes it or not*....it happened.
I will also say this....with the modern technology that is available these days....anything is possible.
I will give you just one example. Years ago when my dear aunt died....her younger sister and her husband...(who was a nurse and a preacher and in their 70's at the time) along with some moving van employees broke into my dear aunt's house and removed property items and loaded up the moving van and they did this while a sheriff's deputy *stood guard* on the outside. They got a truck load and asked the deputy sheriff if he would wait until they returned to get the rest of the items. He refused. This took place and when tried to talk to the sheriff about this, he would not speak to anyone concerning what took place. It was all swept right under the rug, so to speak.
Yes....this sounds unreal...but it happened...and when the estate was settled...the attorney, who was a DA'S wife asked them about breaking into the property and doing what they did....they admitted to her doing it...but yet nothing was done about this.
So much evil going on everywhere....and I happen to know that sometimes, the strangest things happen and are almost *unbelieveable*. Just because someone says it happened/or did not happen does not mean that it did or didn't. I am sure that there are things that happen every day that the majority of the people would be shocked beyond belief.
Take care.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..

Nestlé USA has announced a voluntary recall of some quantities of its Nesquik Chocolate Powder mix stocked in stores nationally due to a potential risk of Salmonella contamination.
The voluntary recall involves only Nesquik powder sold in 10.9-ounce, 21.8-ounce and 40.7-ounce canisters since early October, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It does not involve other sizes of Nesquik powder or Nesquik ready-to-drink products, according to the FDA.
Affected products bear the UPC codes 0 28000 68230 9, 0 28000 68090 9 or 0 28000 67990 3.
The company ordered the recall after learning that a component used to make the powder may have been contaminated with Salmonella, which can cause abdominal ailments. Salmonella can be fatal to elderly people, babies and people with compromised immune systems.
No illnesses related to the powder have been reported, Nestle said.
If you purchased one of the recalled containers, return it to the store where you bought it for a refund or contact Nestle Consumer Services at 1-800-628-7679.

CD Review by Gregory S. Burkart
Only Tim Burton could convince a major Hollywood studio to release a mega-budget R-rated Gothic horror musical on Christmas. In fact, he almost didn't succeed in doing that very thing. But ultimately his enthusiasm won out, and the world is better for it. Well okay, at least seriously deranged moviegoers like myself are pretty damned happy. Come on, work with me here!
You can read our 'Sweeney Todd' movie review here on FEARnet, so I won't retread that ground, but suffice to say I can't think of a better filmmaker to tackle the nearly impossible feat of adapting Steven Sondheim's most famous (and infamous) musical for the big screen ? and that includes wrestling with undoubtedly the most complex and unmistakable compositional style in modern music theater... a task which all involved pull off with skill, bravado and a touch of demented genius.
But before we get to the songs, I have to say that the orchestration here (based on the original by Jonthan Tunick) also deserves kudos. If this were purely an instrumental score, it would still be one of the best of the year, generating suspense and supporting the onscreen frights with haunting strings, muscular rhythms and some shocking bursts of tonal violence. Some of the longer expository pieces from the stage version have been edited down and rearranged slightly for the film, but their power is not diminished. You can feel the epic weight of the large orchestra in the ?Opening Title? overture (which borrows some portions from ?The Ballad of Sweeney Todd,? a song that does not actually appear as such in the film), which rises and falls through a blast of chilling cathedral organ, creeping toward a terrifying crescendo. On the downside, the closing credits music is absent from this CD, which is a great loss.
But what about those songs? The most hotly contested element among Sondheim fans (at least prior to the movie's release) was Burton's choice of go-to guy Johnny Depp, who has little musical experience, to deliver the twisting, interlocking and often violently colliding patterns that are Sondheim's trademark. However, it is the lyricist himself who has professed a preference for actors who can sing, as opposed to singers who can act... and this makes particular sense on film, where the cast no longer has to project to the cheap seats, but can achieve an intimacy that often proves daunting to musical theater performers when confronted with cameras & boom mikes in their faces.
This is most evident when listening to the letter-perfect voice of Jamie Campbell Bower, which does suit the youthful enthusiasm and moral courage of na?ve young sailor Anthony, but sounds a bit excessively brassy on occasion ? contrasting with Depp, who conveys more nuance of emotion despite a less polished baritone. Also the product of a professional music background is the impossibly pristine, crystalline voice of Jayne Wisener, which does fit her character well in the context of ?Green Finch and Linnet Bird,? in which the young Johanna ponders how her captive pets could sing so sweetly. Young Ed Sanders (as Toby) is also a pro, but also has a natural, likable delivery which calls to mind Mark Lester's star turn in Oliver, only less stagey; his fine solo ?Not While I'm Around? is sincere and touching.
Without the same level of training, Depp's singing voice is appealing and holds up well with the others. More importantly, it is seamlessly integrated into his performance as Todd. Depp's strength as an actor has always been his ability to find human pain and longing in outlandish, even cartoonish characters (especially when Burton is at the helm), and he brings this talent to his musical performance here, which sometimes lacks theatrical ?bigness? but has just the right note of barely-contained psychosis... check out ?My Friends,? in which Todd sings a love song to his murder weapons-to-be, for the most powerful example. Even without the images from the film, you can hear the rage seething beneath his words from the very first song, ?No Place Like London.? To say this title is a bit ironic is like saying that setting your hair on fire makes your scalp tingle, and Depp captures the mood perfectly.
His costars are quite adept as well: Helena Bonham Carter's Mrs. Lovett is twitching with neurosis, and seems to be singing less to Mr. Todd than with the voices in her head. Her delivery is by turns hilarious (?A Little Priest?), creepy (?Poor Thing?) and heartbreaking (?Wait?), and although her vocals lack the power of Angela Lansbury, who defined the role on Broadway, there is an eccentricity to her method that really sells the character as a true Gothic anti-heroine (as she and Burton clearly intended).
Alan Rickman's smoky voice oozes sleaze as the soulless Judge Turpin, who destroys human lives such as Todd's without a second thought, but feels suddenly compelled to beautify himself in the barber chair prior to seducing his underage ward. It makes the duet ?Pretty Women? with Depp especially discomfiting, with Todd breathlessly anticipating murder while the Judge is lost in a lustful reverie. Another memorable performance comes from Sacha Baron Cohen as Signore Pirelli, whose pompous affectation of a courtly Italian accent is full of cheesy potential, which Cohen plays for all it's worth in ?The Contest.?
The ?Deluxe Complete Edition? of the film's soundtrack, courtesy of Nonesuch records, is packaged much like any top-drawer operatic production: the single CD containing 20 songs (totaling just over an hour) is packaged in a slipcase accompanied by a lavish 80-page full-color libretto, featuring all the song lyrics and a variety of color stills from the film. It's a classy presentation becoming any big-budget musical... but the term ?Complete? in the title is misleading, as some of the score cues from the film are missing. Despite this oversight, the superb recording quality makes listening to the CD feel like experiencing the film again. It's a must-have for Sondheim aficionados and horror music fans alike ? which is something you aren't going to hear everyday, to be sure.
