|Seahawks Beat CofC In CAA Tennis Opener
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – No. 48 UNCW won its second straight men's tennis match by beating the College of Charleston, 7-0, in a Colonial Athletic Association action Sunday at the UNCW Courts.
The Seahawks evened their record at 3-3 and played the second match in a five-match homestand. UNCW entertains Elon on Friday, Feb. 21, at 1 p.m. in its next match.
"We knew the College of Charleston had a talented team and we would have to play well to beat them," said seventh-year UNCW Head Coach Mait DuBois. "I was pleased with how we competed in singles today and maintained our intensity from start to finish. Rafael (Aita) put in a very solid performance and (Zach) Hublitz was very solid and was able to lift his teammates around him with his energy level.
"We were fortunate to get the doubles point today and our No. 3 team stepped up in some big moments to clinch it for us. CofC really had a lot of momentum through the middle of the matches and it really highlighted some areas we need to get better in."
The Seahawks won the early point with victories at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles. The top tandem of Rafael Aita and Sam Williams, ranked 49th nationally by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, topped Charlie Ghriskey and Brice Allanic, 8-3, and the No. 3 team of Santtu Leskinen and Zach Hublitz clinched the point by edging Rodrigo Encinas and Josh Record, 8-6.
Aita, ranked No. 120, stopped Encinas, 6-4, 6-1, at the top of the lineup to hike the score to 2-0 and Hublitz crushed Alon Faiman, 6-0, 6-2, at No. 6 singles to raise the score to 3-0.
Mol, a senior from The Netherlands, then clinched the match with a 6-4, 6-1, verdict over Ghriskey at No. 3 singles.

- 1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder, available on spice aisle
- 1 lime
- 1 cup shredded coconut

- 1 pound large fantail shrimp, deveined and peeled -- ask for easy peels at fish counter
Heat 2 inches oil over medium high heat. A cube of bread should brown in a 10 count when oil is ready.
Season bread crumbs with salt, cayenne pepper and five-spice powder. Cut the lime into wedges and reserve.
Toss coconut with seasoned bread crumbs to combine. Lightly beat the egg whites. Dip shrimp in the egg whites, then coat with the coconut breading. Fry shrimp 5 minutes in hot oil until evenly golden and crispy. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

Funding for nine Morris County open space projects—including Morristown's Early Street Community Garden—were approved by the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders on Wednesday.
Freeholders approved shifting $4.4 million from the county's Preservation Trust Fund to help preserve 84 acres of open space in eight towns. The largest grant award, $2,075,000, will go to the Harding Land Trust for preservation of 43.5 acres in Harding and Morris townships known as "Frelinghuysen Fields 2."
A grant of $1,575,000 was awarded to Morristown to acquire nearly an acre of land occupied by Grow it Green Morristown's Early Street Community Garden. For several years, the non-profit organization has maintained the garden on land once slated for development.
The money approved by freeholders will in part be used to expand the number of garden beds, provide a public park area along the sidewalk and establish a publicly-accessible walking path through the garden.
Once the property is purchased by the town, it will then be leased to Grow it Green Morristown.
While optimistic, Carolle Huber, one of Grow it Green Morristown's founding partners, said the freeholder decision to support the project was not a slam dunk.
"This is a huge sum of money for a small piece of property," she said. "The county's recognizing that an acre in Morristown is going to be much more expensive than an acre in Long Valley. There is importance in open space in an urban area. It's huge that we got this."
"I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Morris County Freeholders for recognizing the fact that funding this small property will have a huge impact on the Morristown community, an urban community in Morris County that has very little open space left," said Myra Bowie McCready, another Grow it Green founder. "I would also like to thank the team at the Trust for Public Land. Kathy Hakke has been wonderful in bringing this project for the Town of Morristown and GIGM to fruition. And a special thanks goes to the owner of the property, Tim Jones, for hanging in there with us for the past three years and to all the gardeners and supporters that realized that something very special was happening on this little piece of property."
Haake, project manager for Trust for Public Land—the national land preservation organization handling purchase of the property—thanked county freeholders for recognizing the importance of the project.
"An urban garden is a great way to get people you don't typically see out on the land," she said. "It's definitely a community builder. This type of urban area benefits from this. We really appreciate the support of the Morris County Freeholders."
Closing on the land is not expected for several months, Haake said, as some additional funding is still needed. However, she said that money would be in-hand by the time the land officially is handed over to Morristown.
The Frelinghuysen Fields property, southeast of Harter Road and James Street on the Harding and Morris Township border, consists of wooded wetlands surrounded by crop and pastureland, and will be used for passive recreation.
Other preservation projects were in Denville, Chatham Township, Mountain Lakes, Washington Township and Pequannock. A complete list of the 2012 approved projects can be found on the Morris County Preservation Trust website.

"We were going to have to let one of them go," Fraser said.
He fully expected baseball to be the program that got cut. So in a last-ditch effort, Fraser called in some favors. Baseball Hall of Famer Stan Musial, major league broadcaster Joe Garagiola and other notables showed up at a beach benefit banquet that impressed the school. In 1972, the university dropped basketball instead of baseball.
Fraser made the move pay off, finally leading Miami to its first College World Series appearance in 1974.
"On the field and off, Ron Fraser showed how one man can make a difference," acting Miami athletic director Blake James said. "The University of Miami, South Florida and college baseball are all better because of him."
One of his best teams would see Fraser out. The Hurricanes went 55-10 in 1992, winning their first two games in Omaha before being eliminated, ending his tenure.
"It's the dream of all coaches to have the opportunity to leave when things are going well," Fraser said.
Fraser was involved with many community and charity organizations after his retirement. Miami officials said he had three children and five grandchildren.
Funeral arrangements have not been announced.

Members of the Idyllwild Arts Academy Orchestra are planning to collaborate in December with the critically-acclaimed string quartet ETHEL, who are based in New York City.
The quartet musicians - Ralph Farris, viola, Dorothy Lawson, cello, Kip Jones, violin, and Tema Watstein, violin - are scheduled to conduct workshops, residency, rehearsals, and collaborative classes at the Idyllwild Academy from Dec. 6 to Dec. 9, according to an ETHEL representative.
The residency is expected to culminate in two free concerts, Saturday Dec. 8 and Sunday Dec. 9.
ETHEL formed in 1998 and is billed as "America's premier post-classical string quartet." A New Yorker magazine review described ETHEL as "vital and brilliant."
The quartet's name came from the original members' fondness for the film "Shakespeare in Love," in which a fictional William Shakespeare tried to work with a script he'd been handed, "Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate's Daughter."
The musicians liked the unpretentious sound of "Ethel" and adopted the name as their own. For more information about ETHEL visit www.ethelcentral.org.
Idyllwild Arts Academy is billed as "a disciplined college preparatory program for grades 9-12 and post-graduates - along with world-class training in creative writing, dance, film & video, interdisciplinary arts, music, theatre, and visual art."

The Clinton Herald
---- — CAMANCHE — It's not that Janey Finn hasn't been a good pool player since picking up a stick in 1977.
The Scottish-born Camanche resident is known around the area and the state for being a markswoman on the pool table. But these past few weeks of success have surprised even her.
Finn took home first-place honors in three events over the past month. She grabbed first place in ladies singles on March 17 at the VNEA state tournament in Waterloo.
She followed up that performance with two titles at the ISP state tournament in Des Moines this past weekend — ladies singles and team competition with Silver Dollar. Team members included Shelly and Kayla Brewer, Shawnna Perry, Lindsay Totten and Finn.
In her 36 years of playing pool, she's never earned first place in ladies singles at a state tournament.
"Sometimes you just go out there, and everything seems to be working pretty good," Finn said. "It's one of those things; everything just felt right and the games all worked out."
Finn has come a long way since moving to Camanche in 1974 from her native Scotland. She began playing pool in 1977 at bars with her husband.
Eventually, a team had an opening in a league, and asked Finn to join.
"As the years went on, I just got a little better," Finn said.
She's now the president of the CPBA in Clinton and participates in tournaments around the state. She also plays in a league once a week.
"I've met so many friends through tournaments and leagues," Finn said. "Everyone knows you, and it's an unbelievable feeling."
That closeness between Finn and her friends and family helped catapult her to victory this past month.
Supporters from Clinton flooded the stands at both tournaments, with almost 75 to 100 people cheering Finn's every shot.
Her son, Andrew, was one of her family members in attendance. He, along with the rest of her family, husband Stephen, Kristy Morrison, Angela Eagle, and son Stephen, have supported her throughout her pool career.
"The whole place erupted when she won," Andrew said.
That support made the difference, Janey said.
"The people from Clinton that came to watch were fantastic," Janey said. "Them cheering me on helped a lot."
Now Janey must move on to the master's division next year for the state championships. The VNEA tournament includes two divisions, while the ISP state tournament has three divisions.
Finn squared off against approximately 200 people during each event.
And Finn isn't finished yet with tournaments. She's headed in May to Las Vegas with a team from the Quad-Cities for the national championships in pool.
Regardless of what happens, those three first-place plaques in a month will be a tough feat to beat.

Orchard Supply Hardware has been operating in Pismo Beach since 1994, but a multimillion-dollar renovation that offers an upgraded nursery, more selling space, new color scheme and improved signage will debut at 7 a.m. Saturday.
The first 200 customers to the store at Oak Park Boulevard and James Way will receive a $25 cash card, while the first 1,000 will receive an OSH bucket and other items.
The upgrading is part of Orchard Supplys effort to position itself between small, independently owned hardware stores and big box home-improvement stores, according to the company. By the end of this year, Orchard said it plans to have 12 of its 89 stores in California operating in this neighborhood-style format.

Maybe Robert De Niro didn't know. Or maybe he forgot.
But when the superstar actor joked at a New York Obama campaign fundraiser Monday evening which Michelle Obama attended about the country not being ready for a white first lady, he got into dangerous territory for President Obama.
According to an Obama campaign pool report, De Niro deadpanned:
"Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?"

The rising civilian death toll in Syria is accompanied by mounting calls to arm the Syrian opposition. And Turkey, a NATO country that shares a long, rugged border with Syria, is often mentioned as a likely transit point.
Turkey has become increasingly critical of the Syrian regime, but Ankara is thus far reluctant to send significant arms across the border or use its large military to create a humanitarian corridor inside Syria.
Few 20th century thinkers predicted the 21st century era of social media and the Internet better than Marshall McLuhan. Beginning in the 1960s, the Toronto-based philosopher and scholar began to theorize about how television and radio were changing society, creating what he termed the "global village."
Doctors often let patients decide how much sedation they'd like when they have a colonoscopy.
But whether you're put under by an anesthesiologist may depend a lot more on where you live and who gets paid than patient preference, according to a new study.
Big bucks are involved. It would cost an extra $8 billion a year if anesthesia services were used for all 20 million endoscopies and colonoscopies performed each year, because an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist has to be paid, too.
There has been a lot of talk about what's wrong with food deserts. First lady Michelle Obama, for one, says far too many people can't access the fruits and vegetables they need to be healthy.

The federal health law's expansion of Medicaid will cover some 16 million more Americans in the government program for the poor, if that part of the law survives the legal challenge it faces in the Supreme Court beginning next week.
Florida is leading 25 other states in that challenge, but that hasn't stopped two of Miami's most prominent hospitals from preparing for the Medicaid expansion.

In the 40 plus years of covering motorsports, it would appear the process of writing this weekly race column would come together rather routinely.
After all, what does it take to write about cars racing in circles for 100 laps on a Sunday afternoon?
It's never quite that simple, however, when your subject focuses on day-time dirt track racing.
Just ask those who did their best to promote and stage Sunday's SUMAR Classic. It proved to be a long and sultry day that ended on a note of utter frustration for fans, competitors and officials alike.
The storylines of the USAC-sanctioned and promoted Silver Crown event left an indelible mark on all in attendance. Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons.
At a time when the fortunes of oval track racing at the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds needed a positive shot in the arm, those fortunes were blindsided in dust.
Whether the future of racing at the Action Track survives what is sure to be a barrage of criticism for yet more questionable decision-making remains to be seen.
Whether it came from the drivers, car owners or the fans, there was no shortage of finger pointing when it came time to placing blame for the debacle. Fair or not, all took their shots at the thought process that went into the ill-timed event.
In your classic Monday morning quarterbacking scenario, a number of second guessers charged the show should never have been run in the daytime.
Highly-respected car owners Keith Kunz, Scott Benic, Brad Fox and driver Dave Darland expressed their feelings prior to loading up and heading out of a hot, dusty and quickly-vacated Fairgrounds Sunday evening. Kunz was probably the most vocal.
The highly successful car owner jumped at the opportunity to express his views regarding the need for better decision making on track prep and improvements at the Fairgrounds.
"It's going down as a sad day. USAC is going to be taking a beating and rightfully so. They weren't prepared to run a day race," voiced Kunz.
"They tried it two or three years ago and they ended up with how many crashed cars in turn three? They had to stop and re-work the track and start all over."
"I don't know who was making the call to run at day. [USAC] should have known better. They should have refused to do it. They absolutely know better," moaned Kunz. "What has changed? It's still the same dirt. The same track. Still the same everything. It's time they make some improvements in the place. Make it safer and fun place to run again," pleaded the Columbus car owner.
"Don't get me wrong. This place has been good to me over the years but they've got to get it back on track. It really looked last year when the O'Connor Family was involved that things were getting back on track, that it was headed in the right direction. It doesn't remotely look that way now."
Benic shared Kunz's frustration. For the second year in a row, Benic was visibly upset on the way he was departing the track. He expressed safety concerns at the half-mile oval. He nearly lost his driver Shane Hmiel in a horrific crash in the SUMAR a year ago.
He said Sunday's race was headed in the wrong direction long before the field took the green flag. The decision to race in the daytime was all wrong.
"I don't know who came up with the brainstorm to go with a day race. What does that do for the fans,' questioned Benic. "At the end of the day it's all about the fans. What's good for the fans. The powers to be at USAC have to see that. I think that's something they have forgotten."
"This place has been good to us. Levi [Jones] won five straight. Then Bud Kaeding had a win. It is what it is. I'd hate to see the place go away," Benic continued. "Hopefully we can come back have a good race. One where everybody does good. That's what has to happen."
Fellow car owner Fox was slightly more sympathetic for the decision makers. He sees the need to pump new blood into the Silver Crown series to help boost sagging fan attendance.
He too questioned the decision to race in the daytime.
"It was a surprise they wanted to try a day race. There were good intentions. It just sorta backfired," said Fox.
"They were trying to get the fans more involved. Trying something different. The track conditions just didn't help," said the former driver turned winning car owner.
His driver, Darland, is hopeful that Sunday's results won't generate lingering dissatisfaction among the fans for racing at the Action Track.
"Having daytime racing isn't easy anywhere. I can't remember the last time I saw a good daytime race. The rain overnight didn't help," voiced the Kokomo driver.
"Terre Haute is a special place. One of a kind. I'm sure the fans will be back. It has to be a night race to be good. Everybody is leaving with a bad taste in their mouth about daytime racing. USAC doesn't need to make a strike two," he said.
USAC official Jason Smith was prepared for the criticism he knew would be aimed in USAC's direction after the race was postponed.
"The first thing we had in mind was safety. When we had the crash on the start, not many [officials] saw it. That told us right then it wasn't going to be a safe deal," said Smith.
"We had the right people in the right places with the track prep. It was that the situation and circumstances didn't play out the way we needed."
Looking ahead, Smith concedes his organization faces an uphill struggle to win back the confidence of the fans.
"We know we're pushing the pasta uphill. It's going to be tough. We've got to PR to make up with this. If there were any new fans out there today, I doubt if we get them back.
"I hate that because that's where we're at right now. We're really pushing to create new fans, get them interested in what we are doing. Our fan base is typically older fans. We need to reach out to the younger ones.
"We're going to be beating ourselves up on whether we made the right decision. At the end of the day we didn't get anybody hurt. We can be thankful for that."

These look awesome.
Do they actually work?
How many times can you recharge them?
Must be a trickle charge since it's USB, which means it will take hours to recharge.
They'll charge quickly enough, the problem with these is they're low capacity for AA size since 1/3 of the space is taken up by the usb plug.
500mAH capacity, meaning they "could" charge in a little over an hour but probably take at least 3, and that you're losing more than 1/3rd capacity compared to standard AA NiMH, but in certain uses they could make sense like if you're traveling light but need a laptop and mouse but don't want to take a separate charger for AA cells. Then again, these days there are mice very miserly on power and it could take hundreds of hours of use before your mouse needs a battery swap or recharge with alkaline or LSD (Eneloop, etc) cells in it.

FAIRMONT — U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, an early supporter of Sen. Barack Obama, will be a speaker at the Democratic National Convention in Denver later this month, a campaign aide said.
Rockefeller, 71, who is seeking a fifth-straight term in the Senate, will speak on Wednesday, Aug. 27, said Jessica Tice, his campaign press secretary.
The time of Rockefeller's speech and other details will be released soon, she said.
Rockefeller was one of the first of the state Democratic party's dozen superdelegates (the state party also earned an add-on superdelegate earlier this summer) to endorse Obama, doing so on Feb. 29.
Rockefeller said Friday in a statement that he will speak on national security, energy independence and the economy.
A member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence since 2001, Rockefeller became its vice chairman in 2003 and its chairman in 2007.
In early June, the committee released two bipartisan reports that studied how prewar intelligence was used in making the administration's case for war.
In a June 5 press release, Rockefeller said the committee found that:
• "Statements by President Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell suggesting that Iraq and Al-Qaeda had a partnership were not substantiated by the intelligence;"
• "Statements by the president and Vice President Dick Cheney indicating that Saddam Hussein was prepared to give weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups for attacks against the United States were contradicted by available intelligence information;"
• And "statements by the president and vice president regarding the postwar situation in Iraq did not reflect the concerns and uncertainties of the intelligence community."
Rockefeller, who voted in October 2002 to give the president authorization to use force against Hussein, said on the release of the committee's reports that "there is no question we all relied on flawed intelligence."
"But," he said, "there is a fundamental difference between relying on incorrect intelligence and deliberately painting a picture to the American people that you know is not fully accurate."

US kills Osama bin Laden decade after 9/11 attacks
Osama bin Laden, the face of global terrorism and architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, was killed in a firefight with elite American forces Monday, then quickly buried at sea in a stunning finale to a furtive decade on the run.
Construction around FSU
Construction matters were on the minds of the Fairmont State Board of Governors Thursday as they discussed projects to widen Locust Avenue and the continuing renovation of the historic Kennedy Barn.
First, a project to widen Locust Avenue to three lanes has been a priority for the state for several years.
Goal: Redevelop site of former black Elks
City officials are hoping to solicit a buyer to redevelop the former site of the former black Elks building at the corner of Everest Drive and Cleveland Avenue.
Following the structure's emergency demolition last weekend, city manager Jim Snider said the city is hoping someone will come forward to develop the site and recoup the city's $72,000 demolition cost.
Investigation continues into suspicious container, plastic jug that were blown up
Fairmont police detectives will continue their investigation into a suspicious can and jug that were blown up late Friday night by a State Police bomb squad, police said.
No one was injured, but the incident forced drivers to detour around Fairmont Avenue from Seventh to 10th streets while the area was secured and the containers were safely destroyed.
Years of planning, work lead to new Baxter fire hall
In 1968, the Baxter Volunteer Fire Department opened its doors for the first time.
The department had its humble beginnings in a small pole building near the ball field. Over the years, the firefighters made do with the small building, adding on as they could, according to Destry Jones, Baxter fire chief.
AmberView participation rising
Fairview Middle School has a higher percentage of students enrolled in AmberView than any other school in the state, officials said Friday.
AmberView is an innovative program, developed in West Virginia, that assists law enforcement by quickly issuing an up-to-date digital picture of a missing or abducted child. AmberView officials have seen participation rise dramatically in the last year.
Police investigate, detonate suspected bomb
West Side's main thoroughfare was blocked for hours while police investigated and then detonated a suspected bomb Friday night.
Fairmont City Police responded to a report of a suspicious package Friday after a 911 call from a passerby.
Student housing at FSU booming
While enrollment may be down at Fairmont State this year, student housing is booming.
The university's board of governors received preliminary enrollment numbers at its meeting Thursday.
Jay to speak at convention
U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, an early supporter of Sen. Barack Obama, will be a speaker at the Democratic National Convention in Denver later this month, a campaign aide said.
Rockefeller, 71, who is seeking a fifth-straight term in the Senate, will speak on Wednesday, Aug. 27, said Jessica Tice, his campaign press secretary.
A strong 'heartbeat'
"The chamber is the heartbeat of every community," Gov. Joe Manchin told a crowd of approximately 375 people during the Marion County Chamber of Commerce's 55th Annual Dinner.
Members of the business community gathered at Fairmont State University's Falcon Center Thursday night for the event, which also serves as the chamber's annual meeting.

Bacterial Prostatitis
The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. The gland sits just below the bladder. It surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body. Bacterial prostatitis is an infection of the prostate. It causes the prostate to become painful and swollen. The problem often comes on suddenly, and can make you very sick. But it can be treated. Read on to learn more.
Causes and Symptoms
Bacterial prostatitis is due to infection with a bacteria (germ). Infection makes the prostate swell. This squeezes the urethra and narrows or blocks it. Symptoms may be severe. They can include:
Fever and chills
Low back pain
Having to urinate often
Pain with urination
A less forceful urine stream
Need to strain to urinate
Can't urinate
The infection is treated with antibiotic medications. Take all of the medication until it is gone, even if you start to feel better. If you don't, the infection may come back and be harder to treat. Your provider may also suggest other care, such as resting and drinking more fluid. Closely follow any instructions you are given.
Chronic Prostatitis
Prostatitis can turn into a chronic (ongoing) problem. In this case, there is often no infection. Instead, the prostate stays swollen and inflamed. Possible causes include repeated infections or not ejaculating often enough. Stress can be a cause. Often the cause is not known. Symptoms include pain and burning with urination and needing to urinate often. It may also cause lower abdomen or back pain. Symptoms may come and go for no clear reason. If you have this problem, your healthcare provider will discuss treatment with you.

Living in the Land of Islam

Billy Cundiff - #6 - K
|6' 1"/ 212 lbs.
|Phoenix, AZ
|Years played
Ravens PK Cundiff never gave up on his NFL dream
Ravens PK Billy Cundiff is the 2010 recipient of Pro Football Weekly's annual Golden Toe award to the top placekicker or punter of the season.
Cundiff crushing kickoffs, nailing field goals
Refined technique, a new philosophy and increased confidence have helped Ravens PK Billy Cundiff become the NFL's king of touchbacks.
Cundiff hits game-winner in OT as Ravens fend off Bills
Billy Cundiff kicked a 38-yard field goal with 10:57 left in overtime after Ray Lewis stripped the ball from tight end Shawn Nelson, and the Baltimore Ravens squeezed past the winless Buffalo Bills 37-34 Sunday.
Cundiff beats out Graham for Ravens' PK job
According to several reports, Billy Cundiff has beaten out Shayne Graham for the Ravens' kicking job. Graham has been released.
Ravens face roster winnowing at PK, WR
The Ravens' upcoming summer cuts at placekicker and wide receiver hold some intrigue.
Eagles surprisingly deal McNabb to rival Redskins
In what is the most surprising move of the entire NFL offseason, the Eagles have traded QB Donovan McNabb to the division-rival Redskins.
Ravens' PK situation fluid once again
The Ravens' interest in Shayne Graham is a clear indication the club isn't tied to having Billy Cundiff beginning the 2010 season as its placekicker.
Field-goal, snapping accuracy issues for Ravens
For the Ravens' special teams, it's been an up-and-down season, with field-goal and snapping accuracy having become pressing concerns entering the playoffs.
‹‹ previous 1 2 next ››
The San Francisco 49ers have released Billy Cundiff, making David Akers the only kicker on the roster heading into Sunday's NFC championship at Atlanta.||||||| The move came hours before the 49ers boarded a flight to Atlanta on Friday. San Francisco signed Cundiff on Jan. 1 to compete with the struggling Akers, a 15-year veteran who made 29 of 42 field-goal attempts in the regular season.
Cundiff is inactive for the San Francisco 49ers playoff game against Green Bay after being brought in to challenge incumbent David Akers.||||||| Coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier in the week that Akers would be his kicker for Saturday's game but did not rule out the possibility of dressing two kickers. Akers has missed 13 of 42 field goal attempts this season.
There's no questioning how badly Billy Cundiff wants another chance in the playoffs after the way last season ended. Cundiff and the Baltimore Ravens stayed home after he missed a potential tying 32-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the AFC championship game and New England went to the Super Bowl last season instead.||||||| These days, Cundiff has no qualms discussing his greatest career disappointment. He hopes to soon make a new impression on the NFL's postseason - succeeding as San Francisco's starting kicker. While coach Jim Harbaugh has yet to name Cundiff or incumbent David Akers the top guy for Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game against Green Bay, Cundiff is preparing as if he will play.
David Akers and Cundiff were taking their competition to be San Francisco's playoff kicker to Candlestick Park on Monday.||||||| Coach Jim Harbaugh says there's a "good chance" both kickers will be on the roster for Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game against the Green Bay Packers, though he didn't specify whether each would be active. Harbaugh indicated "we have a leader in the clubhouse," but wouldn't say who it is. The 49ers (11-4-1) signed Cundiff on Jan. 1 to compete for a job with the struggling veteran Akers, who has made just 29 of 42 field goals this season.
A person with knowledge of the deal says the San Francisco 49ers have signed Cundiff to compete with struggling veteran David Akers.||||||| Cundiff was released by the Washington Redskins on Oct. 9 after missing 5 of his 12 field goal attempts. He had already worked out once for the Niners on Nov. 27 before they invited him back.

The Senior Activities Center of Cambria County has been active in the Northern Cambria community for years, but the county commissioners said they don't think seniors struggling to gain access to the facility should be part of the "activities."
Specifically, they said they've taken notice of the lack of adequate parking around the center, citing dangers to its members, especially during icy winters such as the one experienced this year.
"Parking is a challenge there," Commissioner Tom Chernisky said. "It's not good walking, it's not good for any of the seniors to walk, and it's not good for any of the non-seniors to walk.
"Every time I stop at that center, they always say, 'Hey, commissioner! What are you doing about parking?' " he said.
But it's an issue Chernisky said those in the county courthouse have been mulling since last summer.
Chernisky seemed to think the urgency is greater than the action implies.
"It needs parking as of yesterday," he quipped.
Enter John Dubnansky, grant facilitator for Cambria County, who's been sniffing out funding sources from corporate foundations.
Two grant applications have been sent thus far, and Dubnansky said a rough estimate for the work needed comes to around $40,000.
The additional lot, at 100 square feet, will add 30 parking spaces that will be connected to the always-packed main lot.
The commissioners said they hope to have the project finished this fall, although spring 2014 is another window they might have to shoot for.
"What we don't want to do is start a project and then find out that we don't have the grant money," Chernisky said.
Dubnansky also stressed the importance of cutting costs to the community by using free state funds over county funds.
"Grant opportunities open up every day," he said. "So I have to take a look at them and see which one fits for the community."

Frier pleaded no contest to second degree sexual assault, first degree reckless homicide, kidnapping and reckless injury.
The judge could give Frier more than 100 years in prison at sentencing.

Kids also feel stigmatized by signing in with a school ID that designates free lunch recipients whereas the other kids produce the cash. School-provided breakfasts also rely on bagels and buns - all prone to add to obesity. Parents who don't take the time to provide breakfast to a kid are worthless.

My grand kids simply don't eat if the cafeteria serves crappy tasting food or if they don't like what I make for them at home.. Ergo, they don't eat anything from 7:30 in the morning when they have breakfast until at least 3:30 in the afternoon when they come home starving... I'm pretty sure most kids are like that since mom and dad are not there to insure that they eat.. Kids will be kids...

WASHINGTON (AP) — With time running short, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner accelerated efforts yesterday to prevent the U.S. Treasury from default and end a partial government shutdown that stretched into an 11th day. The latest impacts: New aircraft grounded, military chaplains silenced and a crab harvest jeopardized in the Bering Sea.
"Let's put this hysterical talk of default behind us and instead start talking about finding solutions," said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Republicans in the House and Senate separately made proposals to the White House for ending an impasse that polls say has inflicted damage on their party politically.
Each offered to reopen the government and raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit — but only as part of broader approaches that envision deficit savings, changes to the health care law known as Obamacare and an easing of across-the-board spending cuts that the White House and Congress both dislike. The details and timing differed.
"We're waiting to hear" from administration officials, said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
Hopes remained high on Wall Street, where investors sent the Dow Jones industrial average 111 points higher following Thursday's 323-point surge.
In meetings with lawmakers over two days, Obama left open the possibility he would sign legislation repealing a medical device tax enacted as part of the health care law. Yet there was no indication he was willing to do so with a default looming and the government partially closed.
Obama called Boehner at midafternoon, and Michael Steel, a spokesman for the leader of House Republicans, said, "They agreed that we should all keep talking."
Jay Carney, the president's press secretary, said Obama "appreciates the constructive nature of the conversation and the proposal that House Republicans put forward. At yet, the spokesman said, "He has some concerns with it."

Is it true that the pork (pig meat) was made haram (unlawful) because it eat from the grave of the Prophet(S.A.W.). I will like to know the verse in the Qur'an that prohibits pork (pig meat).
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "I find not in that which has been inspired to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maytatah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork, etc.) for that surely is impure, or impious (unlawful) meat (of an animal) which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah (or has been slaughtered for idols, etc., or on which Allah's Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering). But whosoever is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, (for him) certainly, your Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Many doctors view sepsis as a three-stage syndrome, starting with sepsis and progressing through severe sepsis to septic shock. The goal is to treat sepsis during its mild stage, before it becomes more dangerous.
To be diagnosed with sepsis, you must exhibit at least two of the following symptoms:
Your diagnosis will be upgraded to severe sepsis if you also exhibit at least one of the following signs and symptoms, which indicate an organ may be failing:
To be diagnosed with septic shock, you must have the signs and symptoms of severe sepsis — plus extremely low blood pressure that doesn't adequately respond to simple fluid replacement.
Most often sepsis occurs in people who are hospitalized. People in the intensive care unit are especially vulnerable to developing infections, which can then lead to sepsis. If you get an infection, or if you develop signs and symptoms of sepsis after surgery, hospitalization or an infection, seek medical care immediately.
Diagnosing sepsis can be difficult because its signs and symptoms can be caused by other disorders. Doctors often order a battery of tests to try to pinpoint the underlying infection.
A sample of your blood can be tested for:
Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may also want to run tests on one or more of the following bodily fluids:
If the site of infection is not obvious, your doctor may order one or more of the following imaging tests:

EUGENE, Ore. — Outside of Washington's locker room in the bottom of pristine Matthew Knight Arena, Washington coach Lorenzo Romar unknowingly was doing an impression.
Romar termed the opposition "dynamic" then lamented his team's turnovers and transition defense. He sounded like opposing coaches used to after losing to the Huskies.
But Saturday, he was working through the flipside of that discussion following Washington's third consecutive loss, an 81-76 defeat at the hands of the 16th-ranked Ducks on Saturday before 12,364 fans.
Conference-leader Oregon (18-2 overall, 7-0 Pac-12) used the layered, attacking style Washington (12-8, 4-3) has been known to employ. Past Huskies teams used a mentality that roster depth and referees not calling every slap or grab allowed them to play with manic aggression. That's how Ducks coach Dana Altman has molded Oregon's approach in the three years he's been in Eugene.
It troubled the Huskies as they turned the ball over a season-high 21 times. They had 15 turnovers
in the first half, one short of their previous season-high for a game. Oregon converted 18 points off turnovers in the first half and 27 in the game.
"The number one thing we talked about in terms of being successful against them was defensive transition in terms of limiting their points in transition," Romar said. "They're good at it. They have a lot of guys that can go in and make plays. That hurt us."
The counter to that was 65-percent shooting in the first half by the Huskies, leaving Washington behind at the break, 37-33. Scott Suggs scored Washington's first seven points. Andrew Andrews scored the next seven.
Altman was not going to let C.J. Wilcox beat the Ducks, as Oregon's constant pressure limited him to 14 points. That ties Wilcox's lowest total in conference play. The three 3-point attempts he got up tied for a season-low.
Oregon's steals, turnovers and pressure mounted midway through the second half to turn its steady lead into a significant one. Ducks forward Arsalan Kazemi scored and was fouled with 10:43 to go, and his free throw pushed the lead to 59-48.
Abdul Gaddy hit a 3-pointer to chop the deficit back to eight during his aggressive second half. Gaddy scored 11 points after the break and hit two 3-pointers on the night. It was the first time he made more than one 3-pointer in a game since Dec. 22.
Back up the floor, Washington forced a discombobulated Oregon possession that ended with a 3-point heave from point guard Johnathan Loyd that clanged off the rim. Kazemi held off Desmond Simmons to grab the rebound, then put the ball back up and in while being fouled. His free throw put Oregon back in front by 11.
Four minutes later, Kasemi's layup gave Oregon its largest lead, 68-54, with 5:08 remaining. He was 4-for-4 from the field and scored eight of his 11 points in a 5:35 span late in the second half.
The Ducks did all this with starting guard Dominic Artis out with a foot injury.
Washington began to foul intentionally and chip away in the final two minutes. Oregon was 11-for-17 from the free-throw line in that span, allowing the Huskies' aggressive approach to help them creep closer. But UW never put full tension into the afternoon. Suggs' 3-pointer with six seconds left made the final deficit look more agreeable.
As did Washington's effort. The malaise that came with losses to Utah and Oregon State was not present in Eugene. Washington came out with an engaged, if sloppy start. It still pushed when the game appeared decided.
"We did a lot of positive things and we had a heartbeat," Romar said. "If we have a heartbeat, that's what we're talking about, you bring forth focus and effort, and then, we'll deal with the rest. We'll come out on the positive side more than we will the other if we bring more focus and effort."
Andrews finished with a team-high 15 points. Shawn Kemp Jr. had the most productive game of his Washington career with 12 points and six rebounds. Suggs and Gaddy scored 13 apiece. Washington also forced 23 firstname.lastname@example.com blog.thenewstribune.com/uwsports @Todd_Dybas

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — I don't know about you, but I'm really glad the election is over.
Alas, in our infinite wisdom, we sent back almost all of the people who messed things up last time. Fortunately, it was with a single mandate identical to both parties: Stop fighting and get things done.
Divided government shouldn't be a death knell to progress. Both sides, when acting reasonably, bring important perspectives to the debate. Democrats rightly see government as a tool to help address these problems. Republicans emphasize the role the private sector needs to play in helping an ailing economy. Contrary to popular belief, these two ideas are not diametrically opposed. In fact they can be combined.
Republicans are right: The government needs to be sensitive to the inhibitions excessive government places on growth. Democrats are right: The private sector necessarily acts in its own interests (until it doesn't, which is when regulation becomes necessary) and can't possibly address every problem we're facing.
My pre-election column called for a new group of Americans to assert themselves, one with an approach to problem-solving that isn't rooted in partisanship. I meant it when I said it. Here's what that might look like in practice during the coming lame duck session.
First, if I were advising President Obama, I would encourage him to reach out to the business community. Bring in corporate executives from across economic sectors — health care, manufacturing, banking, media, technology — and draft their signatures on a letter to the leadership of both parties in Congress. That letter should state the obvious: We are headed to a fiscal cliff in the form of destructive tax increases and budget cuts that will plunge our economy back into recession if enacted.
Then invite the signatories to a press conference in the East Room of the White House. Allow each to tell the American people why they aren't hiring. I'm willing to bet the first thing they'll say is paralysis in Washington is creating uncertainty and businesses don't act unless they're reasonably certain it will mean making money.
Millions of jobs can be created once we get past this and only the business community can authentically articulate that message to politicians and citizens alike.
Next step: Find partners in Congress. Again if I were advising the president, I would urge him to bypass congressional leadership of both parties and work with the senators and congressmen who are willing to enter serious negotiations. There are plenty of respected senators, particularly Republicans (Utah's Bob Bennet, Maine's Susan Collins and Indiana's Dick Lugar come to mind) who will be out of office come January. These are seasoned lawmakers with reputations as deal-makers.
Sit down with these Republicans and some equally responsible Democrats (Ron Wyden of Oregon, Dick Durbin of Illinois and maybe even the newly re-elected Claire McCaskill who would be particularly apt to burnish independent credentials after surviving re-election in red state Missouri).
A deal created by these heavy hitters could get 65 or 70 votes if the package is deemed serious and — thanks to our business leaders' professions — necessary to avert another recession. It should involve tax increases on the wealthy, cuts to entitlement programs and domestic spending for the middle class and the poor and a reduction in military spending. It ensures Americans of every stripe have some skin in the game and the burden is shared between the wealthiest and the rest of us with a measure of equanimity.
A deal like that coming out of the Senate would box in House Republicans who have been the naysayers all along. It might fail the House the first time around, but there are enough Democrats in the minority that the number of Republican pick-off votes should be attainable, especially if Speaker John Boehner realizes his majority is at stake if his caucus is viewed by a majority of Americans as trying to shove us over the cliff rather than helping us take a step back.
There will be inevitable showmanship and public barbs — it's Washington, after all — but the wrangling over the details can be hashed out if both sides really commit to working together.
Boehner himself said of Obama, "Republicans are ready to be led." If the president went forward with a plan like this it would be real leadership — and it would be up to Republicans to remain true to their word.
