We were on our way to the dump Saturday, three across the bench seat, when we heard the news.
"Holy Shi-moly!" Uncle Chet glanced at Buddy, 10, sitting between us as we tooled along King Settlement Road.
"Where is Libya?" the fourth-grader asked, worry in his voice.
"We're going to find out," Uncle Chet muttered, listening to how a new coalition-of-the-willing was bombing Libya, trying to save the rebels in Benghazi.
"That's how we learn our geography," he said. "First, we fire cruise missiles at someone. Then later, on TV, we learn about the target areas that have been destroyed and a little patter about the country."
"It's in North Africa," I said.
"Are the rebels good?" Buddy asked.
"Depends who you ask," I said as I checked in the rearview mirror to make sure the blue tarp wasn't blowing off.
"He asked you," Uncle Chet said, and I could feel his eyes, as he added, "What do you think?"
"I don't like Gadhafi," I said. "He's a dirtbag, probably was going to torture thousands of people."
"Like Saddam?"
"Just like Saddam," I turned the radio down. "But Saddam wasn't poised to do it, was he? He didn't have his armies on the march. There was no reason to hit Saddam, except Bush lying about `weapons of mass destruction.'
"Now, in this case," I continued as the truck was slowing down, nearing the city, "Gadhafi said he was going to crush the rebellion."
"So, you're saying the morality really amounts to timing," Uncle Chet said. "It's OK to start a war as long as we're helping an active rebel force?"
"Not really."
"Which side are we on?" Buddy asked.
"Not the government's," I said.
"The poor people's?" he asked.
"Yes," I said. "Rich people don't rebel."
"Well, if timing's important, why didn't we intervene in Bahrain?" Uncle Chet asked. "A few weeks ago, they were having huge protests against the monarchy, then the Saudis cracked down."
"I don't know much about that one. You don't hear as much about Bahrain," I said.
"Funny thing about that," Uncle Chet nodded. "No, the answer is simple: oil, O-I-L. We have to appease the Saudis, who hold the world's largest reserves."
"Yep. That sounds right."
"And oil's the reason we're in Libya," he said. "It's got plenty, and it was going to the French and Italians, across the Mediterranean. Then a couple of weeks ago, American oil companies shut down the oil trade in Libya."
"To weaken Gadhafi," I said.
"It didn't help the French, either, not at a time of soaring oil prices," he said. "And two weeks later, what do we see? The French president, Sarkozy, leading the charge, trying to revolve the crisis in Libya."
"That is amazing."
"Remember `freedom fries?"'
"That's what I meant. The French have changed."
"So has the mission," he said. "This isn't Iraq, or even Afghanistan. People might have been massacred, but I still can't buy it, not while we're fighting two other wars, not while we're $12 trillion in debt, not when Congress, which is supposed to have the power to declare war, hasn't even held a hearing."
"You know Congress is hopeless," I said.
"I give it three weeks," Uncle Chet said. "If Gadhafi's still in power, Obama's going to be on the hot seat."

Women's Hoops Non-Conference Slate Set
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 07/31/2012
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - UNCW Head Coach Adell Harris revealed the women's basketball non-conference schedule for the 2012-13 season Tuesday, an 11-game slate that features four home contests and seven road matchups.
Coming off back-to-back Postseason WNIT appearances, the Seahawks will once again face a challenging non-conference slate. Seven teams qualified for postseason competition last season, including NCAA Tournament participants Liberty, Northern Kentucky and West Virginia. In addition, nine of the 11 non-conference opponents won 15 or more contests one year ago, with six of those teams - Liberty, Northern Kentucky, Richmond, Tulane, Wake Forest and West Virginia - all reaching the 20-win milestone.
"The late Skip Prosser, used to say, 'You can't sharpen your teeth eating oatmeal,'" Harris said. "Our non-conference schedule is extremely challenging and will play a huge role in our team's preparation for CAA play. We open the season on the road at West Virginia and Wake Forest, and we have some of the best mid-major programs in the country on our schedule. With seven of our 11 non-conference games on the road versus good coaches and good programs, we'll find out early what we're made of. I welcome the challenge."
The Seahawks begin preparations for the season with an exhibition contest against UNC Pembroke on Nov. 3 at Trask Coliseum before opening the regular season with three straight road matchups; a stretch that starts with a visit to new Big 12 member West Virginia (Nov. 9) and includes trips to in-state foes Wake Forest (Nov. 14) and Elon (Nov. 18).
UNCW takes a nine-day break after its season-opening road swing before entertaining North Carolina Central (Nov. 28) in a mid-week contest that will serve as the first of four home dates for the Seahawks during non-league play.
A visit to New Orleans for a matchup with Conference USA foe Tulane (Dec. 2) kicks off the December portion of the schedule. A home contest against Queen City rival UNC Charlotte (Dec. 5) awaits the Seahawks upon their return from the Big Easy, while a three-game road swing that features games at Liberty (Dec. 8), Xavier (Dec. 18) and Northern Kentucky (Dec. 20) sends the Seahawks into their traditional Christmas break.
UNCW wraps up its non-conference play at home against former CAA rival Richmond (Dec. 30) before ringing in the New Year against North Carolina A&T (Jan. 2) in the final non-league contest of the regular season.
The 2012-13 Colonial Athletic Association schedule will be announced after televised dates have been determined.

Putting together a quick salad is easy with Earthbound salad blends. I usually place a couple of containers in my order (especially when they're on sale!).
So when our friends over at Earthbound Farm suggested that I can make meals beyond my basic salad, I was intrigued. Here are three recipes that are just as easy to make: (More…)

---- — BROCKPORT — Friday's SUNY Athletic Conference men's soccer game at The College at Brockport started out perfectly for Plattsburgh State.
Ethan Votraw gave the Cardinals the lead just 8:52 into the contest.
But that would be the only highlight for Plattsburgh, which surrendered the next three goals in a 3-1 loss to the Golden Eagles that hurt the Cardinals' chances of getting an opening-round bye in the conference tournament.
The setback dropped Plattsburgh to 11-4-1 overall and 5-3 in conference play.
"We can still end up in second and get a first-round bye," Plattsburgh coach Chris Waterbury said. "But we have to win on Saturday and have both Cortland and Brockport lose or tie.
"But with what happened in the conference on Friday, we at least clinched a home game in the first round of the conference tournament."
Votraw, who was wide open at the top of the box, got the ball from Alexis Archilla and found the net to give the Cardinals an early advantage.
But with 22:02 gone in the opening half, Peter DiLorenzo answered for the Golden Eagles (9-1-5, 4-1-3) after getting a pass from Chris O'Gorman through the Plattsburgh defense.
"We had a very good first half," Waterbury said. "We played well, generated chances and kept the ball on the ground.
"They had a good goal later in the first half to equalize it when we didn't slide over defensively. We could have defended that better, but I still felt we were the better team in the first half."
It stayed 1-all until 28:11 was gone in the second half. Mark Sylvia scored the game-winning goal off a rebound. Then, with the Cardinals pushing up, O'Gorman added the finishing touch with 2:54 left in regulation.
"It was more of a direct game in the second half," Waterbury said. "The ball was flying in the air more and we struggled with our tempo. Still, we generated chances off scrambles in front of their net.
"But they were so much bigger than we are and that made them tough to deal with. They took the lead after a long throw-in. Then, we had to push people up and they were able to get their third goal."
Plattsburgh held a 13-10 shot advantage. Mitchell Jordon made two saves in net for the Cardinals and Casey Sullivan five stops for Brockport.
The Cardinals close out their weekend on the road with a 1 p.m. game today at Geneseo. The Knights dropped a 1-0 decision to Potsdam on Friday.

Time Required: 25 minutes
• The four scenarios included in this document.
• Review "Guide to Minimize Microbial Food Safety Hazards for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables," U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, October 1998.
• Review each scenario.
• None
Application objective: Participants should understand the risks that growers face from lawsuits connected to microbial contamination.
Learning objective: To understand some of the possible points of contamination that exist throughout production and distribution.
This activity uses four scenarios that describe situations in which microbial contamination has harmed people's health. Each scenario examines how a person became ill and who could be at fault. The objectives of this exercise are to introduce major food safety concerns that producers need to address and to encourage participants to think about the potential consequences of poor on-farm food safety practices.
1. Tell the participants to take notes as you present the scenarios.
2. Read Scenario 1 to the group.
3. This is a large-group exercise. Call on individuals to answer the questions that follow the scenario. We have provided a list of key points about the scenario. If the participants fail to make any of these key points, raise them yourself.
4. Repeat for each of the four scenarios.
In November 2005, Elaine McElroy became ill three days after a meal at a local seafood restaurant known as the Boat Shed. Ms. McElroy did not recover until she had spent many days in the hospital and received multiple blood transfusions.
Before she was even discharged from the hospital, her lawyer had begun the investigation and pondered the question, "Whom should we sue and, more importantly, should we seek one million dollars or two?" The hunt for the culprit began.
First stop: the restaurant. The lawyer's investigation of the Boat Shed restaurant showed, to his disappointment, that Ms. McElroy's meal of baked halibut, French fries and cole slaw seemed to be properly prepared. The workers practiced good hygiene and the food was fresh and stored in a properly chilled cooler.
Further, the local health department soon determined that her case was not isolated. At least 10 other people in the community, dining at the same and other establishments, became ill and had similar symptoms. Stool samples from all of the infected people showed an infection of E. coli 0157:H7. They had not all eaten at the same restaurant. They all had different meals. The one common factor was that all of their plates contained uncooked parsley as a garnish.
Second stop: the distributor. Four restaurants were involved. They did share a common parsley supplier, Cal Farms, and three of them shared a common distributor, Fresh Tomato Transport Company (FTTC). The lawyer for Ms. McElroy took a hard look at the practices of Fresh Tomato Transport. He found that their delivery service uses a fleet of 5 refrigerator trucks for same-day local deliveries. FTTC's procedure is to handle the produce as little as possible. They require that all pick-ups are boxed and ready for delivery. The lawyer moved on to the parsley supplier.
Third stop: the farmer. Three of the establishments received their parsley from FTTC, but one restaurant, The Olive Orchard, is only two miles from Cal Farms. A farm employee delivered their parsley early in the morning in the back of a pickup. Cal Farms is a 25-acre fruit and vegetable farm that sells to restaurants and wholesalers. Twenty acres of the farm are in production and five acres are pasture for horses. The farm is family-owned, employs ten workers and grows a variety of vegetables and greens. They use drip irrigation with water from an on-farm pond and fertilize with synthetic fertilizer.
Questions for scenario 1:
Who will be sued?
1. It is unlikely that all of the restaurants involved created the same problem.
2. The distributor seems to handle the produce very little, the trucks are refrigerated, and they provide same-day delivery.
3. Therefore, the farmer is most likely at fault, because the most apparent source of contamination is the irrigation water.
What are the possible food safety concerns on this farm?
1. The pond that provides irrigation water is above-ground, a risk for contamination of various sorts.
2. Animals (horses) are in close proximity to the land for vegetable production.
3. The farmer may use pond water to wash the vegetables. This is unclear in the scenario, but is something that the participants should question.
4. The scenario does not describe how well employees on the farm are trained. This is another point that the participants should question.
Which of the four principles of food safety need to be applied by this farmer? What does he need to do?
Prevention. The farmer should anticipate the potential for contamination of the water supply and keep manure from the horses away from his vegetable crops.
Accountability. The farmer needs to understand that he is accountable for all of the inputs and procedures that he uses on his farm. "I never thought about that" will not get him very far in a court of law.
Control. The farmer may not have thought about his horses being related to his vegetable production in any way. However, they are under his control and he needs to be aware that every aspect of his farm comes into play in food safety.
Education. The scenario does not discuss the farmer's approach to educating his employees and family member. He needs to have an educational program for them.
In January 2003, the four members of the Lemke family had a lovely dinner out to celebrate the birthday of their youngest son, Mark. They ate at Mark's favorite restaurant, Al's Pizza Palace. Later that night they all became very ill. They all suffered from severe stomach pain, nausea and diarrhea. The health department confirmed that all were exposed to salmonella, but it was difficult to determine the precise source. Needless to say, they hired a lawyer.
First stop: the restaurant. All four family members shared the same meal, a large supreme pizza and a family-sized garden salad with ranch dressing. The pizza and its toppings of pepperoni, black olives, and pineapple were baked in an oven for ten minutes at 600 degrees. The family-sized salad was served from the kitchen. The greens and garnishes were taken directly from cold storage. The lawyer could never pin down whether the salad dressing was refrigerated at all times or not.
Second stop: the farmer. A local producer supplied the produce for the salad. Paul's Organics provided romaine lettuce, sweet onions and cherry tomatoes. Paul's Organics is a five-acre operation that sells vegetables to restaurants and at the local farmer's market. Paul has a deep well for irrigation and uses municipal water for cleaning and processing. He applies composted chicken manure for fertilizer. There are no animals on his farm.
Questions for scenario 2:
Who is most likely at fault in this case?
1. Paul's Organics does not seem to have any very apparent concerns, although it is possible that he does not store and use the composted chicken manure correctly.
2. All of the reported illnesses occurred in one restaurant, but Paul sells to many buyers.
3. Therefore, the restaurant is the probable source of contamination.
4. The ranch dressing is a big suspect because it is susceptible to contamination (since it is a nonacid-based dairy product). It is the most likely source of the contamination, and may have been exposed to unsafe food handling practices in the restaurant. It is especially suspicious that the lawyer could not determine whether the dressing was kept refrigerated at all times.
How do the four principles of food safety apply to the farm in this case?
Prevention. The farmer seems to be practicing prevention. He has a deep well for irrigation and uses municipal water to wash and process the vegetables.
Accountability. There are no apparent ways for the farmer to improve accountability.
Control. The practices of the restaurant are out of the farmer's control and there is no realistic way to enhance his control over what they do.
Education. The scenario does not describe the farmer's educational practices. There may or may not be a problem.
There were nine reported cases of food poisoning, mostly children, linked to the Shigella bacteria in the town of Marion. An investigation showed that at least seven of the cases could be traced to vegetables that were purchased at a local vegetable market. This market has a variety of vendors, some of whom are not farmers. The families involved got together and hired a lawyer.
First stop: the farmer. A bag of salad mix sold by Ranco Produce Distributor was potentially linked to the outbreak. Ranco purchased the salad mix from nearby Lovell Farms. Lovell Farms is a certified organic producer who primarily sells to wholesalers. Prior to packaging, their salad greens are triple-washed in well water by a team of four employees. The greens are kept in a cooler until distribution. All employees wear gloves during harvesting and cleaning. Dissatisfied with Lovell Farms as a potential culprit, the lawyer paid a visit to Ranco.
Second stop: the distributor. Ranco received the salad mix in bulk-size boxes from Lovell Farms. They sold some of the boxes directly to large institutional purchasers, but they broke some of the boxes and repackaged the greens in bags to sell to small buyers. The lawyer found the small area at Ranco where the greens are rebagged rather "messy." It was far away from the employees' toilet. However, there were no employees involved in rebagging during his time there and he could not observe Ranco's actual practices.
Questions for scenario 3:
Where is the most likely source of contamination?
There are no apparent problems on Lovell Farms. The employees wear gloves and the greens are in a cooler.
Only the bagged salad mix was implicated. It is therefore likely that the contamination occurred during repackaging at Ranco.
Shigella is highly infectious. As few as ten cells can cause illness, and poor hygiene is often the cause of its spread. It is possible that an infected person bagged the lettuce without following the most basic of hygienic acts: properly washing his or her hands.
How do the four principles of food safety apply to the farm in this case? Prevention. Lovell Farms' practice of triple-washing and glove use are best practices in terms of hygiene.
Accountability. This farmer seems to have a very proactive stance about food safety.
Control. There is nothing that the farmer can do to control what happens to his greens after they are distributed.
Education. Lovell Farms' practice of triple-washing exemplifies good training.
Reggie and his girlfriend Erica wanted to spend a relaxing evening together. They decided that they would prepare dinner together and watch a movie after work. On the way home, Reggie stopped by a family-owned roadside stand on Highway 211 to pick up some fresh produce for the meal. That night Reggie and Erica cooked a delicious meal, but by next morning both became very ill. Insulted at the doctor's suggestion that they "weren't careful enough," they hired a lawyer to get to the bottom of the event.
First stop: the home. Reggie purchased the vegetables at the Mercott family's roadside stand about 8 miles from his home. Reggie carried the vegetables in right away when he got home and placed them on the kitchen counter. An hour later Erica arrived and they began cooking. They washed all the produce briefly before preparing it. They prepared a stir-fry with rice and a tossed salad. The next morning, both were seriously ill. After listening to their story and taking a good look at their "spit and polish" kitchen, their lawyer promptly contacted the health department. It turned out that Reggie and Erica were not the first to become ill after eating produce purchased at the Mercotts' roadside stand.
Second stop: the farm. Encouraged, the lawyer paid the Mercotts a visit. The Mercott family owns a 15-acre vegetable farm and sells much of its produce at a roadside stand along nearby Highway 211. They have a shallow well for irrigation water, but it goes dry fairly often. When it does, they draw irrigation water from a stream that runs along the west side of their property. Their neighbor on the other side of the stream has a small dairy. They get manure, their primary fertilizer, from him. The family does most of the labor themselves, but they get occasional help for harvesting and processing from people in town. The work is hard and it is not always easy to find and keep people. This has become an issue for Mr. Mercott, who has grown so tired of people quitting work that he often has little contact with these short-timers. He just makes sure they get their fair wage and leaves his teenage son and niece to let them know what they are supposed to do. Employees complained about the long walk to the toilet in the packing shed, so Mr. Mercott provided a portable toilet in the middle of the field.
Third stop: the stand. The Mercott roadside stand has been in operation for over thirty years, and much of the equipment, structure and accessories are original. They set up six days a week and are open for almost the entire day, from morning until late afternoon, to catch the peak traffic times. Mr. Mercott will often staff the booth himself because his two helpers, his nephew and teenage son, both complain about having to "stand out there all day." However, Mr. Mercott can't run it all the time and these teenagers do run the stand from time to time. There is no refrigeration or running water at the booth, but the Mercotts find that keeping produce wet, especially leafy vegetables such as salad greens, keeps the product looking fresh. They keep a tank of fresh water at the stand for this purpose, but they have to bring the water from quite a distance. Refilling the tank is not easy.
Questions for scenario 4:
Do Reggie and Erica have the basis for a lawsuit, in your opinion?
They probably do. It is true that they left the vegetables out for an hour and may not have washed them very thoroughly. However, their kitchen is clean and, more importantly, they are not the first to become ill after buying produce from the Mercotts.
Where are there any areas of concern at the farm?
• The first possible problem is the surface water used for irrigation. With a dairy directly across the stream, there is the strong possibility of runoff into the stream introducing bacteria, such as E.coli.
• Fresh manure as a fertilizer poses high risks for contamination of vegetable crops.
• Another issue is the problem of training. It is clear that Mr. Mercott does not have a systematic training program for his employees. The high turnover rate makes the problem worse.
• The availability of the toilet facility in the field is good, as long as it is well supplied with soap and water for washing hands.
What about contamination at the roadside stand?
1. The lack of refrigeration could be a problem, because many microbes flourish in warmer conditions.
2. The "fresh water" used to keep the vegetables looking fresh is potentially a big problem. It is not clear that the water is really fresh or that it is changed frequently.
3. The potential lack of training of the young stand workers could also be an issue.
4. The lack of a bathroom or hand-washing station at the stand is a serious problem.
Which of the four principles does this farmer need to apply?
Prevention. He needs to apply this principle on the farm and at the stand. This includes testing the surface water for contamination or finding a better water source. He needs to find a better way to keep vegetables fresh at the stand. Using water that has been sitting in a tank for a prolonged period, often in hot or warm weather, is not adequate. The in-field toilet may be a good idea -- if the workers can wash up after using it.
Accountability. Mr. Mercott needs to be more aware of the dairy farm next to his vegetable farm, especially if he plans to use irrigation water from the stream between the two farms. He also needs to be aware that he is responsible for the behavior of all of his employees and that he must supervise them adequately.
Control. This farmer is in control of all aspects of his product until it goes into the consumer's hands. He could expand his control by educating consumers about food safety after the product leaves the farm. He could do this verbally or through signage. Reminding them to wash all fresh produce well is especially important.
Training. Even with constant turnover, it is very important that all employees are well-trained in proper food-handling procedures.

PORTLAND -- If you need motivation for your 2014 fitness resolution, you might find it at the East Portland Parks & Recreation pool.
Mary Hamilton, 71, is teaching water aerobics to seniors. "If you're down in any way, you need a Mary Day," said student Barbara Goyette.
Hamilton didn't even learn to swim until the age of 32. "My four boys could swim and they would tease me that I couldn't so I learned how to do that and ride a bike," Hamilton remembered. She had worked for Portland Public Schools as an aide and at 55, retired and became a water instructor.
"It keeps my blood pressure regulated and gives me more flexibility," she said.
Her students have learned that the benefits go well beyond physical changes.
"I was staying home and not ever seeing people and then I came here and it was light and bright. It's been a great way to beat depression," remarked Goyette.
This month, Mary is helping students become "Water Warriors." The Portland Parks and Recreation program is in its 13th year.
During January, if you work out in the water 16 times at any of Portland's 6 public pools you receive a "Water Warriors" T shirt. "It's an extra bonus to motivate you to get in the water," explained Hamilton.
Goyette already has Water Warrior status. She's been coming to classes for two years, "I've lost 50 pounds and water aerobics is my only exercise," she said.
This is Mary's last chance to help her students kick off their New Year in the water.
"I'm retiring in May and oh, I will miss the people" she said with a smile, "We are like family."

The basketball was right where Lucas Laufenberg likes it to be in crunch time — in his hands.
Laufenberg, a 6-foot-2 junior, scored the game's final five points Thursday night to lead Prince of Peace past Fulton Unity Christian 48-43 in a non-conference boys basketball game at Central Catholic Auditorium.
"We needed a win," Laufenberg said after the Irish won for the first time this year at home and just the second time overall. "We haven't figured out how to win yet. We're getting there. If we start to play better, this can be a turning point."
Laufenberg had it figured out Thursday, and he created the turning point in the final 90 seconds.
Unity's Nolan Willoughby had just brought the Knights back with five straight points that tied the game at 43 with 1 minute, 29 seconds remaining. But at the other end of the court, Laufenberg made a move down low, tossed in a basket, was fouled and converted the free throw for a three-point play that gave the Irish a 46-43 lead with 1:14 remaining.
"It was big," Laufenberg said. "We needed a score and were looking to attack the hoop
Laufenberg then sealed the win with a pair of free throws with 19.3 seconds left that gave him a team-high 16 points for the night.
"I enjoy having the ball at the end," he said.
The big finish made him the hero instead of Willoughby, who led all scorers with 19 points.
Willoughby, a 6-1 sophomore, put himself in contention for the honor when he made a nice move to his left and drained a 3-pointer from the left side that pulled the Knights within 43-41 and then took a dribble in from about the same spot and buried a 16-footer to tie it at 43-43 with 1:29 left.
"In the timeout, coach said we need to get a quick shot, but more important we need to make it," Willoughby said. "Luckily, my teammates got me the ball, but in the end it didn't really matter."
Willoughby's baskets — and another 3-pointer earlier in the fourth quarter — along with two putback baskets by Colby Dykstra (10 points) had brought the Knights back from a 38-31 deficit at the end of three quarters.
"We came back at the end, but we couldn't quite get over the hump," Unity coach Jack Roemer said. "Their kid came down and got a score on us, and we couldn't answer."
The real turning point probably came much earlier in the game, however.
A strong start to the second quarter had given the Knights a 25-16 lead.
"Our defense stepped up a bit," said Willoughby, who made a 3-pointer and four free throws in the 12-2 run that closed the first quarter and started the second. "We started rebounding better than the first quarter, and it didn't seem like we could miss a shot."
Unity widened the lead to a high-water mark of nine, 25-16, on a free throw by Sean Hansen with 3:37 left in the second quarter before the Irish closed the half with nine straight points to enter halftime deadlocked at 25.
"That was really important," Laufenberg said. "We needed to get our momentum back. We were taking possessions off."
One of the key plays involved Laufenberg and Willoughby.
Moments after Quinton Schnier scored on a follow shot of his own miss, the Irish got the ball back on the defensive end and tried to push the ball ahead on a fastbreak. Unity deflected the ball, and Willoughby tried to save it from going out of bounds under the Prince of Peace basket. He lunged over the endline and knocked the ball backward, but it fell right into the hands of Laufenberg under the basket, and he converted the easy shot to bring the Irish within 25-20.
"That was big; it got us going and was a lucky play," Laufenberg said.
"Whenever you do something like that, it sucks the life out of you," Willoughby said. "You learn on Day 1 never save the ball under the opponent's basket."
Prince of Peace finished the half with baskets from Nic Roth (14 points) and Warren Lewis, and it went into the locker room tied at 25.
"That was crucial," Prince of Peace coach Gerry Murphy said. "We needed that comeback to set the tone for the second half."
The Irish kept attacking to open the second half, extending their scoring run to 16 consecutive points while the Knights missed three straight shots, then committed two turnovers.
Laufenberg got the Irish off to a fast start when he found Roth on a cut down the lane for a go-ahead basket with 6:42 left. Seconds later, Laufenberg took an outlet pass off a defensive rebound and scored in transition. When Lewis added a rebound follow shot and Roth made 1 of 2 free throws, the Irish were sitting on a 32-25 lead with 5:00 left in the quarter.
"It was good to start the second half quick like that," Laufenberg said.
"In that run, we didn't get any rebounds, we didn't get any shots in; overall, we didn't play well," Roemer said.
The Knights have no time to lament the loss. They return to action tonight with a home game against Galesburg Christian.
"You can take something out of every game," Willoughby said. "We learned we need to able to play a full game. We seem to lose the last 2-3 minutes of the game."
The Irish are off until Tuesday, when they travel to Preston to take on the Big East-leading Trojans.

Starting this Wednesday, November 15th and running through June 30th, 2007, The Eisner Museum will present an exhibit about design at Trek Bicycle Corporation. Visitors will be able to, according to the museum's website, "follow the process from initial sketch to final product and see how research, imagination and technology come together to create a state-of-the-art machine." This sounds like a great exhibit. Thanks to Paul for the tip. Now I just need to find an excuse to run up to Milwaukee sometime before next summer.
In other bicycle design news, I saw today on BraIN that Rob Vandermark, founder and president of Seven Cycles, spoke at Parsons School of Design recently about the challenges of designing within the constraints of different materials. The article has a few quotes, but doesn't go into specifics about the content of his speech. I would be interested to hear from anyone out there who was in the audience.
The last link I'll mention today is Faster Mustache. According to the website "Faster Mustache is an independent organization made up of a diverse group of Atlanta residents with one thing in common: riding bicycles. Fixed or free, geared or single, cruiser, chopper, racer, clunker, we ride 'em." I first saw this site about a month ago when I followed a link from Cyclelicious. Having lived in Atlanta for many years, I was interested in reading about the local cycling scene, but I didn't spend too much time on the site the first time. I just found out yesterday that one of the founding members is an industrial designer who works for a good friend of mine. Very cool! You can find design content on the site if you search around a bit, like this link to an event at SCAD Atlanta. There are some cool t-shirt designs in the gallery as well. Too bad nothing like this was going on when I lived in Atlanta. Next time I'm down there for a weekend, I'll have to hook up with these guys for a ride.

Man charged with Danby burglariesJuly 24,2013Man charged in
Danby burglaries
DANBY A homeless man who told police he is addicted to heroin is charged with two felony counts for an attempted break-in and a successful burglary at two businesses in town.
Vermont State Police said their investigations into burglary complaints at Nichols Store and Whites Fuel Stop in Danby led them to Adam L. Cijka, a 34-year-old man described in court records as a transient.
Police say they arrested Cijka on Monday, less than 18 hours after the incidents in Danby. Prosecutors have filed paperwork to charge Cijka with felony counts of burglary and attempted burglary.
But Cijka did not appear in court Tuesday for arraignment. Instead, he is scheduled to be arraigned today in Rutland criminal court. He remains in jail for lack of $5,000 bail.
Cijka told police that he and a woman drove from Wallingford to Danby on Sunday night with a plan to break into stores to find items that they could trade for crack cocaine and heroin, according to court records.
After a failed attempt to break into the fuel stop, the pair allegedly drove to Nichols where Cijka told police he forced his way into the building and stole hundreds of dollars worth of cigarettes and lottery tickets. Cijka told police he later traded $60 worth of winning tickets for drugs in Rutland.
Police say they were led to Cijka when someone tried to cash in the stolen lottery tickets at a Rutland convenience store.MORE IN This Just InBroadband tower Full StoryBOSTON Anthony Ranaudo pitched six solid innings in his major league debut and Dustin Pedroia...
