Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2009 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a ripe, rich, layered, yet elegant wine. It has a dark, ruby color and a complex nose of cassis, jam, mocha, violets and nutmeg. On the palate, the wine has a delectable berry-laden entry and a rich, mouth-coating mid-palate. The tannins are beautifully..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The fabulous 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Cimarossa Vineyard offers additional evidence of how brilliant this vintage turned out on this high elevation, mountain AVA. Tor told me the crop reached perfect ripeness on Howell Mountain, and the result is a wine of great intensity and lots of mulberry,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This offers aromas of dried herb and pennyroyal, with a compelling core of dark berry flavors, showing dried currant, cranberry and black licorice notes. Gains depth and length on the finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A unique and fascinating expression of the cabernet sauvignon varietal and a unique micro-terroir. Evidence of a strong Havana nose with black cherry and plum and a glorious ruby color. This is a big, fleshy, hearty wine. It offers the same phenomenal fruit concentration as the 1995 'Vin de..
Cellar/Tasting Notes There is a fresh, lilting quality to this Pinot, a silky airiness that feels weightless on the palate. Doubtless that is due to the moderate alcohol. But there's nothing light about the flavors, which are complex in black raspberry pie, softened Dr. Pepper cola, butterscotch, toast and spices. A..
Cellar/Tasting Notes This is a pretty Pinot that is light and silky on the palate, and comforting in its moderate alcohol and spicy, exotic flavors. It offers waves of wild forest berry pie, baking spice, sweet-and-sour persimmon and sandalwood flavors that are intriguingly complex. Absolutely delightful now.
Cellar/Tasting Notes A wine of unique character. The epitome of Karl Werner's style of winemaking: huge body, massive extraction and concentration of flavors, monumental proportions and structure. Evolving at a glacier's pace, this wine will probably still be drinking well in a couple of decades. Have it with a..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Keever's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon bristles on the palate with explosive aromas and flavors that conquer all of the senses. Vibrant, floral aromatics meld seamlessly into a gracious core of fruit as the wine opens up in the class. At once structured yet delicate, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is pure..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Bright ruby. Ripe cherry and black raspberry aromas are complemented by notes of anise and smoky Indian spices. Broad and concentrated, with more power than the Westside Road Neighbors bottling offering sweet red and dark berry flavors, a velvety texture and a touch of bitter chocolate. Becomes..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Inky purple. Exotic, expansive aromas of dark berry preserves, apricot, fresh flowers and spicecake. Juicy, palate-staining blueberry and boysenberry flavors show an appealing sweetness and pick up a smoky nuance with air. Closes on an intensely floral note, with excellent clarity

Perez was put on administrative leave.
Dumel broke his legs in the crash. He was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital, where he underwent surgery.
Dumel told officers his name was Paolo Lafrance.
"It is believed that the defendant gave that name in an attempt to conceal his true identity," stated the arrest affidavit. "Defendant's license is suspended and defendant has a possible warrant for probation violation."
But a man named Paolo Lafrance told Local 10 his identity was stolen four years ago and someone has been using it since.
What police found
Property receipts show police recovered a firearm and magazine that police said Dumel threw out of the car when he first exited Ives Dairy Road. The receipt indicates the gun was fake.
Officers also found a white powdery substance resembling cocaine in Dumel's pocket, according to a police report.

Since 1997, Staple Design has created one of the most respected street culture brands in the world. Oakley was founded in 1975, the same year Staple was born. The synergy of creativity between the company and the artist led to the collaboration of the Jeff Staple Champion Collection. The collection includes:

The Oakley STPL JAWBONE, a cycling-inspired rendition with bands of color on a Matte White frame with Oakley Grey lenses. Accenting the frame in several places, the stripes blend international colors to celebrate cycling as a global sport.
The color inspiration for the STPL HOLBROOK™ is falling snow, and the frame carries accents on the stems of its Polished White frame. Staple chose Oakley Chrome IRIDIUM® lenses to complete the look.
All three new eyewear renditions will include laser etching on their lenses to mark them as part of the unique collection.

Fire crews extinguish blaze in derelict Rochford building
Updated 9:13am Sunday 16th February 2014 in News
FIRE crews from across Southend and Rochford extinguished a blaze in a derelict building in Rochford's Mill Lane on Saturday night.
Due to the number of calls to Essex Fire and Rescue five crews attended the site next to Stambridge Mills.
Crews were called to the already derelict 10mx10m building at 8.51pm on Satuday, February 15 and had extinguished the fire by 9.45pm.
Six main jets operated by crews wearing breathing apparatus were used to tackle the fire from outside due to the roof collapsing.

With 9:20 left in the Section 2A semifinal girls soccer match, St. Peter goalie Maria Siebels moved to her left to cut down the angle on a 30-foot shot by Mankato East forward Marta Anderson.
Anderson rifled the shot, which Siebels knocked down, and the ball was cleared by a defender. The save preserved Siebels' shutout as the Saints knocked off the No. 1-seeded Cougars 1-0 at Thomas O. Anderson field.
"I think my heart stopped on that one," Siebels said. "East has such good forwards who can shoot the ball that I never imagined we'd get a shutout today. Our defense just played really well."
The Saints went into the game as the No. 4 seed. They had played East earlier in the season and lost 3-1, and coach Karl Larson said his players were on a mission to show they were more competitive than that.
"We just wanted to prove that we could play with them," Larson said. "We started the year 3-5, and we had a team meeting, and from that point, we've won 10 of last 11. The girls were determined to turn it around.
"Our games with East are always a slobberknocker. Akram (Osman) has done a great job with that team making them contenders every year."
The game's only goal was scored in the 24th minute. St. Peter's Maggie Anderson took a shot that East goalie Kelsey Ekstedt stopped, but Marta Springer quickly pumped the rebound into the open net.
"Maggie did most of the work," Springer said. "(Their goalie) was out of position when I got the ball so the net was wide open. I didn't think at the time that that would be the goal that wins the game."
Although both teams had chances after that, none were successful. After intermission, Larson made the decision to keep six defenders back the rest of the way.
"We just felt it was a good idea at that point," Larson said. "About halfway through the second half, we bought a seventh defender back, too. We didn't want to give their forwards much room to operate."
East (14-4) outshot the Saints 9-4. The Cougars also had three corner kicks to St. Peter's one.
When it was over, East coach Osman said his players had nothing to hang their heads about.
"Our girls played well, they played hard," he said. "We knew it was going to be a tough game. St. Peter just got that early goal and we couldn't come back."
St. Peter (13-6-1) returns to North Mankato om Thursday to take on Mankato West at 3 p.m. for the Section 2A championship at Dakota Meadows Field.

They pledge to raise funds and awareness for the Semper Fi Fund throughout their generous efforts, and they usually have fun in the process!
Whether you are a seasoned athlete or participating in your first event, your efforts can make a difference in the quality of life for our nation's injured service members.
Come Run for the Fund!
Community Semper Fi Team registrations are now open for our premier runs and we want you on our team!
We'd like to take a moment to express our gratitude for all our Community Athletes participating in races to raise money and support the Semper Fi Fund. Check out the event calendar below and see all the amazing individuals competing on behalf of the Semper Fi Fund.

Name: Clover
Case Number: #5666
Hello folks! My name is Clover. I'm currently staying with a foster family in the area, because I'm shy and the other loud puppies at the in Wantagh scared me. However, I'm hoping to find my forever home soon!
In the short week, I've been with my foster family, I've really come around to realizing that people are pretty cool. I'm a pretty laid back youngster and enjoy chilling on the couch with my foster Mom mostly, but I also like when my foster brother and his friends show me some love as well.
Last night, my foster Dad taught me how to sit on command and I showed Mom this morning during our walk! (Yea, I'm pretty smart too. Kinda cool, don't you think?)
If you think you might like to meet me, contact the shelter and tell them I'm Clover (#5666). I'm still a little shy, so I'm thinking I may be ready to go to my new home in a week or two. Hope to meet you soon!
If you are interested in adopting Clover, contact the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter at (516) 785-5220 or come in for a visit. The shelter is located at 3320 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh. Adoption hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. All adopted pets will be spayed or neutered, will receive all required innoculations and will be microchipped, all free of charge.
From June 20 to Sept 20, the shelter is running its "Summer of Love" promotion, which means all adoptions are free!

Pop Lyrics You Misheard in 2013
By Ian S. Port
Face it: Democracy is overrated. Anyone who has ever been on the losing side of a 49-51 vote knows that. Still, almost everyone in America, on the left or right, has deified the idea of democracy. But anyone who has tried to run a co-op, or have roommates, or even have children knows that majority rule can suck. Still, yes, it is better than any alternatives. But for now, please let me bitch about it. Thanks.
Every time I am in a bar in San Francisco that still allows smoking, I am reminded of how undemocratic this town can be. And it's not because I am annoyed at the smokers — au contraire. I, gentle reader, am annoyed at the antismokers, the people whose nostrils flare at the odor, and kvetch and moan that they have to be around such toxins. It never seems to be enough for them to just decide not to come back, or realize the vast majority of bars don't allow smoking. Nope, they have to blog about it and go on Yelp and generally feel personally affronted.
Case in point, the babe on my right. She had wandered into the Tempest with a crew of her workmates, or so it seemed. It's a place that allows smoking because it was grandfathered in. Way across the room, there sat a couple at a table, and the man was smoking. The babe kept turning around, craning her neck, appalled.

San Francisco, CA 94107
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: South of Market
Now, yes, it is true that once word gets out that a place allows smoking, the puffers invariably take it over. I can see that being annoying for someone ... someone who lives in a small town with only one bar. But there are hundreds of choices in S.F. If you don't like it, shove off. It's a free country.
Not that the Tempest isn't one of a kind. It is burrowed in an alley behind the Chronicle building, making for a great afterwork spot for SOMA people. It is big, with billiards; a long, old-fashioned bar; and a nice brick wall on one side that lends it a New York City loft kind of feel. The bartenders are superfriendly, especially the dude who loves all things Kansas. And if you park yourself next to some disgruntled journalists, of which there are usually many, you can get a real earful.
But on this night, I wasn't in the mood to eavesdrop. No, I was seeing people for who they really are, or at least I liked to think so. I was fresh off the Internet on my phone, then watching this lady have a self-important meltdown about the smoker, and seething. Here's why:
For those of us in the Facebook community, were any of you as shocked as I was at the rancor, vitriol, passion, and general malaise after the health care bill was passed? Most of us were rejoicing in the forum, but people like some I went to junior high with were incensed at the legislation. Others chimed in with different posts about hyperbolic doomsday scenarios of their taxes going up 15 percent, the advent of socialism, and having to foot the bill for welfare queens. There were people, of course, whose opinions didn't surprise me, but then there were others I'd had no idea were right-wing. I felt so deeply for this legislation on a human level that anyone who disagreed with it seemed somehow subhuman.
Though I didn't do it, I do know a few people who deleted Facebook "friends" as a result. I was tempted to delete some, too. If I didn't like what they had to say, they were gonna go. All this led to several discussions about what was "appropriate" content on the site, with a few people calling a moratorium on any political discussion. And then there was the dust-up a few weeks ago about the guy who wanted to make a fan page for "hating fags." Everyone got up in arms and wanted him deleted, and I found out that Facebook has rules against hate speech and can get rid of users who break the rule.
Facebook, it would seem, is the New World, and we are pilgrims landing on its shores. We are attempting to cobble together some sort of constitution that lays out what rules we will all follow, so as to better get along and keep things fair for everyone. As a result, people who are otherwise liberal, open-minded, and, yes, democratic are throwing around opinions about just how much stuff is inappropriate on the site, what shouldn't be said or discussed, and which people it is not okay to allow on board. In short, they are acting like fascists.
For the record: I do not agree with Facebook removing people who use hate speech. Also, I do not agree with anyone who says we should or should not use Facebook for any set thing. I have to be libertarian on this one, people: If our Facebook profiles are an extension of who we are as individuals, then how in the hell do we have the right to curtail what anyone says on them?

Introduced by David Bodanis.

Approx. 400 pages.more details
Personally modest, passionate on issues of social justice, deeply principled, often unorthodox, Albert Einstein was a complex, fascinating man, as brilliant when writing about pacifism, religion and anti-Semitism as about theoretical physics. Ideas and Opinions is a wonderfully engrossing collection of Einstein's major articles, speeches and letters on all these subjects, and more.
Born in Germany to a secular Jewish family, Einstein showed early promise in maths and physics, but failed to find a university post until he was brought to the notice of the scientific world with four groundbreaking papers. All were published while he was still working in the patent office in Berne, during his annus mirabilis of 1905. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, Einstein became internationally renowned, but in 1933 he was forced to flee from the Nazis to America, moving permanently to Princeton University. This collection brings together his popular lectures and articles on geometry, relativity, gravitational theory and scientific ethics, alongside a precis of his principal scientific theories by Professor Valentine Bargmann, a colleague at Princeton, giving the reader an invaluable perspective on Einstein's singular genius. His keen intellect strays far beyond the realm of science, however, and here we can absorb his humane and thoughtful views on subjects ranging from first impressions of America in 1921 to concerns over nuclear weapons in the late 1940s. He is eloquent, and often witty, as on the topic of scientific committees ('Can you imagine an organisation of scientists making the discoveries of Charles Darwin?') and education ('The only rational way of educating is to be an example – if one can't help it, a warning example.') One of the most lauded figures of his century, Einstein was profuse in his praise of others, as shown in his correspondence and open letters to figures such as Sigmund Freud, Max Planck, Mahatma Gandhi and Marie Curie. In this edition, a newly commissioned introduction by science writer David Bodanis sheds additional light on Einstein and his work. Readers may begin the book wishing to know more about the world's greatest scientist: most will end it wishing they had known the man.

Hey All,
I'm 43 and have been lifting off and on for the past 20 years. More of a recreational lifter/builder. Anyhow, I need something to kick-start my growth. My current routine is a 4-day split:
I incorporate regular squatting and deadlifting and, aside from warm-ups, I usually do progressive weight for each set, repping until failure (for all body parts). Typically between 5 and 10 sets per body part. I know my body pretty good, so I know when I need a day of rest, which is typically 2 days per week. So I guess I lift about 5.
I just started the HCT-12 routine, working the 5 day/week regimen (so I do more days on but less lifts per day, due to time constraints/schedule). I just finished my first week and I'm wondering if in fact this is the right routine for me. I don't "feel" like I goe a good workout, a good pump, like my normal routine.
Ramping up to your 6RM last set seems like all of the previous sets are "easy" because you don't go to failure. I fully understand that my normal routine is not taking me to the growth levels I want. So, do I stick with this routine for a while? Will it get me size? Or do I need a different routine?
To everyday people, I look like I workout (from the compliments here and there over the years). But I don't look HUGE, which is what I'm all about. Been that way all my life.
Anyone have any advice? I'm willing to try new routines as well.
Thanks very much!
Give it a try for a few months...I think you'll like it.

If you want to get huge your diet is much more important than the routine you choose. Any well thought out routine will "work" if your getting proper nutrition and recovery. Having that said, you could try adding a drop set of 8-12 reps after your final cluster set of 6 +2 +2 +2 to add some pump / volume your looking for.

It's Good to Be an Auditor
Today I remembered a very important fact; a concept so fundamental I was amazed I had forgotten it. I can't tell you when I forgot it. I can't tell you why I forgot it (probably lost in the detritus of work.) And I can't really tell you what event it was that helped me remember it. All I know is that, approximately one hour ago (as I type this), I remembered one of the main reasons I love auditing so much.

In addition, the articles present the monsters in the revised statistics block format that first appeared widely in Monster Manual 3. The monsters have had some minor updates to powers and to some of their statistics, including attack, damage, and defense values. These changes in statistics generally reflect the updates that appear on page 7 in the Dungeon Master's Guide rules update. This iteration of the article includes the Griffon and Wyvern.
Griffons combine the strongest traits of swift-winged birds of prey and hunting beasts of the land. Their greatest assets are their brawny bodies and their acute senses that let them pick up on the slightest sound and see clearly for miles. A lone griffon can take down an elephant, or carry a horse and its rider back to the nest to eat. Griffons hunting in packs give armies pause.
Wyverns are suited to hunting and nothing else. Their poisonous tail stings, strong jaws, sleek wings, and powerful legs put them at the top of the food chain. They nest on rocky mountainsides and swoop down to grab prey from nearby forests and plains. Wyverns are deadly and efficient, but bestial and stupid. They're capable hunters because of their phys- ical attributes rather than their cunning. Wyverns don't make plans or form alliances. They just survive.

James Taylor, Contributor
I write about energy and environment issues.
Editor's note: An update from the author has been added to this article on September 20, 2012.
Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the most amount of ice ever recorded on day 256 of the calendar year (September 12 of this leap year). Please, nobody tell the mainstream media or they might have to retract some stories and admit they are misrepresenting scientific data.
National Public Radio (NPR) published an article on its website last month claiming, "Ten years ago, a piece of ice the size of Rhode Island disintegrated and melted in the waters off Antarctica. Two other massive ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula had suffered similar fates a few years before. The events became poster children for the effects of global warming. … There's no question that unusually warm air triggered the final demise of these huge chunks of ice."
NPR failed to mention anywhere in its article that Antarctic sea ice has been growing since satellites first began measuring the ice 33 years ago and the sea ice has been above the 33-year average throughout 2012.
Indeed, none of the mainstream media are covering this important story. A Google News search of the terms Antarctic, sea ice and record turns up not a single article on the Antarctic sea ice record. Amusingly, page after page of Google News results for Antarctic sea ice record show links to news articles breathlessly spreading fear and warning of calamity because Arctic sea ice recently set a 33-year low.
Sea ice around one pole is shrinking while sea ice around another pole is growing. This sure sounds like a global warming crisis to me.
Update: To provide more perspective on global warming and Antarctica, I would like to update this column with some additional information:
As meteorologist Anthony Watts explains, new data show ice mass is accumulating on the Antarctic continent as well as in the ocean surrounding Antarctica. The new data contradict an assertion by global warming alarmists that the expanding Antarctic sea ice is coming at the expense of a decline in Antarctic continental ice.
The new data also add context to sensationalist media stories about declining ice in small portions of Antarctica, such as portions of West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula (see here, for example). The mainstream media frequently publish stories focusing on ice loss in these two areas, yet the media stories rarely if ever mention that ice is accumulating over the larger area of East Antarctica and that the continent as a whole is gaining snow and ice mass.
Interestingly, a new NASA study finds Antarctica once supported vegetation similar to that of present-day Iceland.
"The southward movements of rain bands associated with a warmer climate in the high-latitude southern hemisphere made the margins of Antarctica less like a polar desert, and more like present-day Iceland," a co-author of the NASA study reports.
Greg, your comment sounds deranged and I'm not sure how to respond to you.
JerryPinkham – Mr. Taylor is not a journalist. He is an attorney who is now working as a propagandist for the denialist Heartland Institute. His job is to spread lies and propaganda in an effort to confuse the public about climate science.
For some reason, Forbes has a stable of these guys doing weekly op- ed, which discredits Forbes as a source of true information.
You are seriously naive, or a simpleton. Wow! What journalistic entity is ever a source of "true information". LMAO. Peter Gleick used to be an op-ed contributor at Forbes. An you complain about Taylor??
Antarctica is the driest place on earth. Therefor, the amount of ice added by precipitation, even over thirty years, would be minimal. The author himself attests to the considerable quantity of ice that has migrated into the sea during the same period of time. Therefor the net loss of ice must have been substantial.
Well, at least you tried reasoning, which puts you in the minority. But that doesn't make your argument right. The global climate system is very, very complex and tightly coupled. Unfortunately simple explanations, even if logical, are always grossly incomplete.
Precipetation varies widely. Some parts get nearly no precipetation and some get a very large amount. You have extended fact that SOME PART is very dry to incorrect conclusion that all is very dry.
Don't be foolish. OF COURSE one pole will reach its annual minimum about the same time the other reaches its annual maximum. When it's summer at one, it's winter at the other.
Furthermore, quite aside from seasonal effects, increasing Antarctic ice is well-handled by global warming predictions. If it's cold enough to make ice, warmer (but still sub-freezing) air holds more water. Result is more snow on the pole with the cold land mass. More ice movement and ice shelf calving. Less on the pole with thin ice and water underneath.
So next time, THINK before you start jerking your knee.
Simpleton explanation for very complex natural phenomena. One of thousands. Collect them all…
Warm air does not hold more water than cold genius.
Actually, Mr. Griggs, warm air holds more water vapour than cold air (all other things being equal). Here's a explanation that might be simple enough for you to understand. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/276228/humidity
In short, Mr. Neuman is right, you are wrong, and you are making yourself look like a fool. If you want to try a rebuttal, maybe you should use facts and logic next time, and keep away from the sarcasm and unfounded assertions unless you have something to back them up with.

Stillwater NewsPress
STILLWATER, Okla. —
A former Oklahoma State football player, who says he has a strong relationship with former coach Joe DeForest, feels some of the Sports Illustrated allegations are not true.
Markelle Martin was a safety at OSU from 2008 to early 2012. Throughout his time at OSU, Martin recorded 104 total tackles, three interceptions and was part of the 2012 Fiesta Bowl championship team, according to okstate.com.
During Martin's four years as a Cowboy, Joe DeForest was Martin's position coach from start to finish. Not only was DeForest a great coach, but he also was a person who cared deeply about Martin as a player, he said.
"I have a great relationship with coach DeForest," Martin said. "He was someone I could talk to about stuff that happened on the field and off the field. He was like my second father."
Even though Martin said he can only account for the years between 2008 and early 2012, he said he never knew of coach DeForest compensating players for big plays and performance on the field.
He said without his position coach, he wouldn't be where he is today with his career.
"He gave me a lot of hope and he had hope in me," Martin said. "He was my position coach and he was the one who kept me in line and level-headed and focused."
Martin said what made the coach different was his ability to talk about things besides football. All the safeties at OSU knew they could talk to DeForest about anything, he said. Some days, the safeties would sit around and talk about how each player was doing instead of watching film, Martin said.
DeForest was not only a coach but a coach who cared about his players and there wasn't any inclination he was paying players for performance, Martin said.
Even though the rumor about DeForest bothered Martin, he said another rumored allegation that bothers him is about the academics. Martin said he knows from experience the coaches at OSU hold players accountable for academics.
"I missed the Holiday Bowl because of academics," Martin said. "(Mike) Gundy is a real-good guy and has always held his players to the rules. I mean, that is Gundy's rule, 'You are responsible.'"
Martin said he had to earn his way back and had to make a strong effort to get eligible academically again. He said for anyone to say the professors, coaches or players cheated academically is disrespectful.
Martin said when the coaches held him accountable for his academics, it was an eye-opener. Martin felt he was tough and could slide by because he graduated high school early to come to Oklahoma State, he said. When his academics didn't make the cut come December, it was hard not practicing, participating or getting to go to the Holiday Bowl game, he said.
"Whenever I slipped up, they always held me responsible," Martin said.
Martin said even though the coaches were his father figures while at Oklahoma State, they aren't responsible for one thing he is proud he accomplished. Going back to the idea of a bounty system, Martin said the secondary didn't need a bounty system and came up with its own motto.
Martin said in 2009 or 2010, a solider came and spoke to the OSU football team. This man had one motto the secondary at OSU took to heart.
"I remember him saying, 'Nothing comes into the U.S. without our say so,'" Martin said.
He said the secondary took this motto and established it as their motto in the defensive back-field.
During this time, Martin said people began to notice how the secondary started hitting harder and getting more turnovers. He said the safeties' self-motivation and motto was the reason people saw the hitting increase in Boone Pickens Stadium.
"We came up with something called 'The no fly zone,'" Martin said. "That is something our hard-hitting safeties took to heart and that motto is still there today I believe, and it's my own personal motto."
Martin said he has a camp named after the "The No Fly Zone" motto Victor Johnson, who was a safety at OSU and was later was kicked off the team, started at OSU approximately four years ago.
Martin said without the motto, Gundy, and DeForest, he wouldn't be where he is today. He said the staff he was associated with was too respectful to do what the rumored allegations said happened during his time at OSU.
Martin said if a person wants to know why the safeties at OSU made big plays during those seasons, it was because of one saying that was going around the locker room before every game and not because of a bounty system.
"If it flies it dies," Martin said. "We played hard because we were part of the, 'The No Fly Zone,' and coach DeForest had nothing to do with that."

"… California's Pure Power Distribution has created mobile solar arrays whose ability to generate reliable power has been demonstrated on, of all things, movie base camps. Their usability, however, extends far beyond the silver screen.
In addition to its Mobile Solar Power System, a purely solar array, it has developed a Solar Hybrid, an 18 kilowatt generator that includes an onboard biodiesel generator (it can also be outfitted with a regular diesel or propane generator) that automatically activates when solar power isn't adequately charging the array's battery. It's a realistic option for crews working in a disaster area…."

Sports Editor
For a guy that played sparingly and amassed a total of zero catches in 2012, Jordan Robinson is being counted on to produce extensively for Northeastern State in 2013. Robinson, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound pass catcher, is set to begin his second season with the RiverHawks after transferring from East Central following a redshirt season in Ada.
What happened at East Central and what led to you transferring to NSU?
Didn't really seem like a fit on offense. It was more of a pro-style offense with a lot of running, and I got a hold of (former NSU assistant coach Mike) Knoll and we developed a good relationship. He told me to come up here because it was more of a passing offense.
How did you settle on East Central when signing your letter of intent at Wagoner High School?
My first decision in high school was that I was going to Pitt State. Then the day before signing day, I switched to ECU. They kind of came and sweet-talked me — ya know, typical recruiting stories. They got me to switch and go down there without knowing much about it. They just threw more money at me, and then I went down there and didn't really like it. In the back of my mind, when I first committed, I kind of wanted to go to NSU. But it was kind of too close to home, and I didn't really want to be around the stuff in Wagoner.
So Tahlequah ranks way ahead of Ada?
From Tahlequah to Ada is a big difference. I love it here, honestly. I really do.
What is the offense at NSU like compared to the offense at East Central?
There is was more of the Power-O, and run the ball up the middle and get what you can. Here, we have some of the best athletes that I've seen. Plus, here we have (Joel) Rockmore and (Terrence) Dixon in the backfield, and at receiver we have great talent.
Which wide receiver impresses you the most on a daily basis?
Honestly, I'm going to have to say Prince McJunkins, just because I played high school ball with him. He was my quarterback in high school. And for him, making that transition from quarterback to receiver — people had their doubts about him coming in — but Prince has really adapted well at receiver. He's getting better every day.
You Wagoner guys have kind of taken the football team by storm. What's that been like?
We have five Wagoner boys up here, and we're kind of taking over the team. All the guys from Wagoner, they know football and that's expected of them coming from a program like that. Coach (Dale) Condict puts players to work every day and accepts nothing less than 100 percent.
In high school, what was it like playing at Boone Pickens Stadium in the 4A state championship game in 2011?
Being in high school, you walk on to the field with big eyes. You're playing on the big stage with a lot of pressure, but once you get out there it's just football.
You're in Tahlequah now playing college football 30 minutes from home. What's that like?
At first, I didn't know if I would like it. But now, I love it. My family has a chance to come and watch me, versus being at ECU, where it was a three and a half hour drive. Plus, with a lot of us from Wagoner, we bring the Wagoner community over here to support NSU.
What is a daily schedule like for Jordan Robinson?
I wake up at 6 a.m. and come to workouts. After that, go home and shower and go to work at Dollar General. I usually go in around noon and get off about 11 at night. Then come home, eat dinner and sleep. Then get ready for workouts the next day. God, family and football are the only things I'm focused on right now.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European markets closed out the week with a 1% gain on Friday, despite moving lower on the day, as investors juggled a trading week packed with news, including a new government in Greece, rocketing bond yields in Spain, weak data and downgrades for the region's major banks.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index /quotes/zigman/2380150/delayed XX:SXXP -1.45% lost 0.7% to 246.58 on Friday, but closed 1% higher for the week.
Protesters raise their arms during a demonstration against government austerity measures inl Valencia
Euro zone approves Spain's bank bailout
The country's government will borrow as much as 100 billion euros ($123 billion) from the euro zone's various rescue funds.
• Spain's Valencia seeks bailout
• ECB: Greek-backed bonds ineligible as collateral
The index started the week on a positive note as pro-bailout party New Democracy claimed victory in Greece and successful Spanish debt auctions spurred a rally in equities. The positive mood, however, lost steam after poor data from China and the U.S. fueled fears of a slowdown in the already frail economic recovery.
"For once in quite a while, the negative news didn't come from the euro zone," said Philippe Gijsels, head of research at BNP Paribas Fortis Global Markets.
"The selling today has been mitigated by people hoping for some kind of solution in the euro zone," he added. See Market Snapshot on U.S. stock prices' second-worst day of 2012.
One of the mitigating factors in Europe, Gijsels said, was a less dramatic result than expected from an independent audit of Spain's struggling banking sector. The auditors revealed late Thursday that the banks' recapitalization needs could reach 62 billion euros ($78 billion) in an adverse scenario, well less than the €100 billion the Spanish government pegged in early June as the maximum request. Auditors: Spain's banks may need up to $78 billion.
Finance Minister Luis de Guindos said Friday afternoon that the government is to make its formal bailout request on Monday. Has pessimism on Spanish stocks been overdone?
The Spanish IBEX 35 index /quotes/zigman/2759620/delayed XX:IBEX -1.82% outperformed other European bourses and jumped 1.5% to 6,876.30, sending the index 2.3% higher for the week. Bankia SA /quotes/zigman/15648031/delayed ES:BKIA -2.86% jumped 5.2%, Banco de Sabadell SA /quotes/zigman/456075/delayed ES:SAB -2.18% surged 8.5% and Banco Popular Español SA /quotes/zigman/18006288/delayed ES:POP -2.31% soared 10.5%.
Pressure on Spanish bonds eased, with the yield on 10-year government bonds /quotes/zigman/4869131/delayed ES:ES10YT +1.78% declining 26 basis points to 6.31%, the lowest level since early last week, according to the electronic trading platform Tradeweb.
For the broader European markets, stocks started to trim losses in afternoon trade as the European Central Bank said it had eased the rules for eligible collateral to "improve the access of the banking sector". ECB moves to ease loans collateral for banks
Separately, the International Monetary Fund late Thursday urged the ECB to use "inventive monetary policy" to fight the region's sovereign-debt crisis. IMF urges ECB to consider unconventional measures
Banks shake off downgrade
The banking sector was also slightly higher elsewhere, shaking off a fresh round of downgrades from Moody's Investors Service, which late Thursday slashed the credit ratings on 15 major financial firms. See: Moody's cuts ratings on 15 financial firms
"A lot of this was already discounted by the markets," Gijsels said. "This is the first positive sign for the banking sector — that it doesn't go down too much on bad news anymore is a positive for the market."
Among major French banks in the downgrade batch, Credit Agricole SA /quotes/zigman/295441/delayed FR:ACA -1.97% ticked up 0.4%. BNP Paribas SA /quotes/zigman/132292/delayed FR:BNP -0.10% picked up 0.7% in an otherwise negative French market.
The CAC 40 index /quotes/zigman/3173214/delayed FR:PX1 -1.35% /quotes/zigman/3173214/delayed FR:PX1 -1.35% closed 0.8% lower at 3,090.90 as heavyweight oil group Total SA /quotes/zigman/167958/delayed FR:FP -0.16% /quotes/zigman/167990/delayed/quotes/nls/tot TOT -3.20% slipped 1.2%.
Oil producers also added pressure in the U.K. market, where BP PLC /quotes/zigman/210014/delayed UK:BP -1.42% /quotes/zigman/247026/delayed/quotes/nls/bp BP -1.15% fell 1.2% and BG Group PLC /quotes/zigman/249967/delayed UK:BG +0.43% slumped 2.4%. Miners, too, moved lower, with BHP Billiton PLC /quotes/zigman/184879/delayed UK:BLT -1.80% /quotes/zigman/270355/delayed/quotes/nls/bhp BHP -1.70% down 2.7% and Anglo American PLC /quotes/zigman/470624/delayed UK:AAL -2.66% off 1.7%.
The FTSE 100 index /quotes/zigman/3173262/delayed UK:UKX -1.37% lost 1% to 5,513.69, but was up 0.6% on a weekly basis.
German stocks headed south and were further weighed by sluggish economic data. The closely watched Ifo index of business confidence hit a two-year low in June, suggesting that Europe's economic engine, Germany, is no longer immune to the troubles in the rest of the euro zone. See: Ifo gauge of German business sentiment declines
"The slowdown has gradually affected Germany as well, but I still think Germany is strong overall," Gijsels of BNP Paribas Fortis said. "If it's strong enough to pull the other countries out of the crisis remains to be seen, but Germany is still doing fairly well, and otherwise the situation would be more negative."

Miranda Nicole Rice was far too young to die.
Miranda was 19 when she passed away from injuries suffered after a car struck her while she tried to cross a street in Oklahoma City.
She had three-quarters of her life to go.
And that life had so much promise.
She was a freshman at Oklahoma State University, studying forensic science on an academic scholarship she earned before graduating from Wagoner High School last spring.
She wanted to work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but also had discovered a special interest in film making.
When Miranda was 15 she told her grandmother why she chose to be an organ donor.
"That way," she told her grandmother Wanda Ross Willhite, "if she didn't live to be old, she would be able to contribute something to others."
Miranda will live on through six other people in Oklahoma.
Willhite said Miranda's heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas and one lung were harvested through Life Share at the OU Trauma Center.
Miranda's selflessness in becoming an organ donor will lengthen six lives.
Miranda died much too young, but in that short time she touched many lives and will continue to touch countless more lives for years to come.

SEATTLE – The corner of 36th and Horton hasn't changed much over the years. It's still a gritty spot, nestled between Lake Washington and neighborhoods to the South.
For Chris Hansen, it was home.
"A lot of childhood friends, I played tag or hide and seek with went along on the wrong path," said Hansen on Wednesday, talking about what it was like to grow up on the block in a single parent household. The crime, and street gangs, took a toll. "It caused my mom to move out of the neighborhood."
That's why Hansen says he relates to a program that didn't exist during his childhood days.
"Two blocks from my house was like the Black Gangster Disciple headquarters effectively," he told a crowd at the A Plus Foundation breakfast in Downtown Seattle, shortly before making a big assist.

The program, which helps at-risk youth with stable education, leadership, and an outlet for sports, was on the verge of eviction. A South Seattle developer had told founder Tavio Hobson he had to move his program out.
Hobson has been building the program which he says engages kids through sports. "A Plus loops in education and mentoring so they can be successful long after their athletic careers have ended."
Enter Hansen.
The Seattle Arena investor and basketball nut, after all, had some extra space down in SoDo after the NBA rejected his planned purchase of the Kings franchise last year. The project, under environmental review, has slowed down as a result.
"It was natural for me to get involved very, very close to home," said Hansen as he pledged to donate a 10,000 square foot parcel on 1st Avenue South to A Plus.
It will serve, pending city permitting, as the headquarters for the organization. Hobson says he hopes to install classrooms, and a basketball court by years end.
"Someone is going to be playing basketball in SoDo next year," says Hansen.
He added that it is not a sign he's giving up on his project. "I don't think you should read anything into that, except we don't have a basketball team playing there this year. We're supporters of APlus, and have some space down there."
Hansen says he's not interested in adjusting the Memorandum of Understanding with Seattle and King County, and will try to be "accommodative" if the NHL expressing interest in bringing a team here.
However, he said, "I'm not going to buy a hockey team, safe to say."
For now, the kids will call the land home.
