SPRINGFIELD, Mass., November 11, 2006 – Springfield College junior Roy Burch (Warwick, Bermuda) and sophomore Moira Price (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) each won three individual events, but the Division I University of Rhode Island defeated the Pride this afternoon at the Art Linkletter Natatorium.

Don't ask Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams if there were positives to take out of this afternoon's surprisingly close loss to the New England Patriots.
The following comment from Williams rather proficiently captures what most Bills fans are feeling after Stephen Gostkowski kicked a field goal with five seconds left to beat the Bills, 23-21.
"This year started in March, you know?" Williams said at his locker stall in Ralph Wilson Stadium. "You go through a lot to get ready to play. Just because all of y'all said we're going to get beat by 50 and we get beat by three, that doesn't make me feel any better.
"I'm here to win. I've been here a long time. I just want to freaking win. We've got to find a way to make the plays at the end of the game."

Wiz has announced the details of his hugely anticipated debut album Rolling Papers! The most-buzzed about rapper's major-label debut arrives in stores and at all online retailers on March 29th. Rolling Papers sees production from top producers including Benny Blanco ("California Gurls," "Dynamite,") Jim Jonsin ("Whatever You Like," "Lollipop,") and Stargate, who produced Khalifa's smash, "Black & Yellow." The official second single off Rolling Papers, titled, "Roll Up," ships to mixshows this Friday, January 28th and drops everywhere this Monday, January 31st.
On one of the many concepts behind naming the album, Rolling Papers, the Pittsburgh native says, "I quit writing a long time ago. I stopped physically writing it down or putting it in my BlackBerry or iPhone. I write notes down, but I don't write whole verses, so it was like saying goodbye to the paper. The paper's rolling out too. So everything is real natural. The first thing that came to my head is how I really, really feel. I feel like this is my most natural sound. I paid the most attention to this shit when I did it. I was real focused. I was real keyed in on this shit when I was working on it and I didn't use any paper, except for rolling papers."
What's more, Rolling Papers is also being ushered by the buzz track "On My Level (feat. Too Short)." The video-only track was produced by Jim Jonsin and was shot earlier this month in Los Angeles. The video for "On My Level" can be seen right here on WizKhalifa.com at 6pm ET tomorrow!

Asharoken will now be able to replenish its sound side beaches with roughly 600,000 cubic yards of sand as a result of a Sandy funding bill approved by the Senate on Jan. 28.
The Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Funding Bill sets aside $2 million for the completion of a feasibility study as well as $30 million for a sand dump to mitigate erosion on Asharoken's beaches. Asharoken's dunes were virtually wiped away during Sandy allowing further erosion and undermining of the roadway, which has since been repaired.
The Army Corps of Engineers has been conducting an ongoing feasibility study since early 2006 in order to analyze the most cost-effective means of permanent beach erosion prevention not only in front of the Asharoken seawall, but also the entire north shore of Long Island.
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) concerns for wildlife and water quality with regard to the proposed locations for sand dredging would be addressed in the feasibility study.
With an estimated loss of about 25,000 cubic yards per year, according to the Army Corps, the replenishment is expected to last about 30 years.
Asharoken is also expecting to receive 45,000 cubic yards of material on the sound side as per an agreement with National Grid by Dec. 31.

The CTRL Rail Master(RM) wakeboard has arrived and further redefines the foundation of next generation constructions and technologies. With our OLT fin system, you CAN have it all. When hitting an obstacle, the fins spring up and out of the way for that finless, free-ride, stable feel. Once off the obstacle, the fins come back down into place for that stability and feel that you want in the open water for air tricks or just plain carving. Take all of that and add in the patterned response energy and feel in the tip and tail of the board, coupled with amazing torsional rigidity across the middle and you really can have it all.

Affordable tax
The Dec. 28 letter "It'll take cuts" states, "As everyone should know, the 'rich' do not have enough money to fix the problem (avoid the fiscal cliff by paying more taxes)."
I think we should consider the "Federal Reserve Bank Z-1 Flow of Funds Statement, End of 2011 Account." It gives the total wealth of the top 10 percent of U.S. households as $66.71 trillion. That includes about $45.5 trillion of financial assets, defined as currency and securities. It does not include capital held in off-shore tax havens. Just their financial assets are enough to completely pay off the national debt of 2011, give $1 trillion to stimulate the economy (enough to hire five million unemployed workers at $50,000 for four years), and still have about $30 trillion of financial assets left.
After these generous donations to the nation, their remaining $30 trillion of working capital would still be more than the entire equity owned by all the rest of U.S. households combined. Why shouldn't they pay a little more in taxes?

Reckis v. Johnson & Johnson, No. PLCV2007-00064 (Mass., Plymouth Co. Super. Feb. 13, 2013).
When Samantha Reckis, 7, developed a fever in November 2003, her parents gave her periodic doses of Children's Motrin. Samantha developed Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS), which progressed to Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN).
Both SJS and TEN are rare, potentially life-threatening conditions caused by a severe allergic reaction to certain drugs. The diseases attack the skin and mucous membranes, causing the skin to blister, burn, and fall off, and causing severe injuries to the mouth, lungs, eyes, and other mucous membrane organs. The conditions attacked Samantha's eyes, respiratory and reproductive systems, and intestinal tract. She was hospitalized for months and underwent numerous surgeries. Doctors reportedly also had to drill through her skull to relieve pressure on her brain. Her past medical expenses totaled about $811,400.
Samantha lost 90 percent of the skin on her body, resulting in disfiguring, burn-like scars, and she is legally blind. In addition, she suffered permanent liver and lung damage, and she has only 20 percent of her original lung capacity. She also suffers from short-term memory loss. Now 16, she is an honors student, but because of short-term memory loss, she must work harder than other students to retain information.
Samantha's parents, individually and on her behalf, sued Johnson & Johnson and McNeil Consumer Healthcare division, the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary that manufactures Children's Motrin, alleging failure to adequately warn of the risk of SJS/TEN. The plaintiffs contended that the defendants were aware that ibuprofen-based products cause SJS/TEN and had included a brief warning about the risk on the prescription version of Children's Motrin, but failed to include a similar warning on the over-the-counter version. The plaintiffs contended that the labeling for the over-the-counter product should have warned that use should be discontinued if redness, rash, or blistering appeared, as those could lead to potentially life-threatening results.
The defendants denied that Motrin caused Samantha's SJS/TEN and contended that the drug's warning was adequate.
The jury found that Children's Motrin had caused Samantha's SJS/TEN and that the defendants had failed to adequately warn of the risk. The jury awarded $63 million, including $50 million in compensatory damages to Samantha and $6.5 million to each parent. Under Massachusetts law, prejudgment interest from the time the complaint was filed added 12 percent per year to the verdict, bringing the full amount, with prejudgment interest, to approximately $109 million.
Plaintiff counsel: AAJ members Leo V. Boyle, Bradley M. Henry, and Michael B. Bogdanow, all of Boston.
Comment: For a similar case involving a 3-year-old girl who developed SJS/TEN after receiving Children's Motrin, see Maya v. Johnson & Johnson, 30 PLLR 52 (Aug./Sept. 2011). For a case involving a 40-year-old woman who developed SJS/TEN from Children's Motrin, see Robinson v. McNeil Consumer Healthcare, 28 PLLR 164 (Dec. 2009/Jan. 2010).

When Raleigh voters look upon their Oct. 8 ballots, theyll see Wake County school board candidates, a county school bond of $810 million. a Raleigh transportation bond of $75 million and municipal choices for Raleigh and the town of Cary. All are important decisions awaiting voters.
We support both bond issues. The needs for school construction and renovation, along with technological support, are clear and strong in a growing school system.
But its important as well that the $75 million in transportation bond money for Raleigh not be forgotten among the other important decisions voters will make.
Raleigh has been through a period of tremendous growth, and thanks to good management at City Hall, that growth has continued smoothly, though perhaps not without a few pains here and there. If approved, these bonds when repaid would cost taxpayers about 1 cent on the tax rate.
We used to call transportation bonds road bonds, but thats not really applicable anymore. In the case of these funds, the needs that would be answered are many.
The city, for example, is aiming for more walkable neighborhoods in the future, and with that, more bike lanes on its roadways. That means narrowing some streets to make room for bicycles.
Other streets will need to be widened, particularly those in areas that have grown over the last decade and have become crowded.
There are roads that will get a little streetscaping, which is the term for landscaping when asphalt and concrete are involved. It might mean trees and grass and improved medians.
On Hillsborough Street, there will be some of that streetscaping along with work on a roundabout. Yes, the roundabouts have taken some adjusting, but residents seem to be doing better with their navigation.
Other examples of work: paving, bike lanes, sidewalks, lights and some widening on busy Rock Quarry Road, Tryon Road and Poole Road.
Think about the differences that sidewalks, to pull out one example, make for neighbors. Kids and dogs will be safer, not to forget the little tykes in the strollers. It gives any street a homey feel, a certain level of comfort.
Lights are an obvious deterrent to crime and rare is the street that doesnt look better with them.
And those who get annoyed at bicycle riders for perhaps holding up traffic (though were not among them) now can yield a narrow lane on the right to those healthy, non-roaring bikers.
Much money will be spent in the North Raleigh area and in the northwest, where streets once thought of by long-time residents as way out and little used are now corridors to much more populated areas. Its time, in other words, for some updates and maintenance.
Cities need nurturing. Without periodic improvements, roads and neighborhoods can go in a steep decline, and if a city beats a bond, for example, the repairs that inevitably will have to be made become all the more expensive. This bond is about keeping up with Raleigh itself, about maintaining quality of life. Thats not cheap. But its not an extravagance, either.

Europe has been a hotbed of activities for the Amway One by One campaign.
From races, to fashion shows, to playground building, our employees and distributors have been contributing time and money for children's causes. Here are a few examples:
London, UK: Amway employees and distributors organized a fashion show at the Amway Experience Center to raise funds for a trauma center and outreach program for children in remote villages in Nepal.
Amsterdam, Netherlands: Amway sponsored the Dam tot Damloop run to raise funds for UNICEF to support schools in Mozambique. More than 75 Amway employees and distributors from six countries participated in the ten-mile run.
Moscow, Russia: Two Nutrilite running campaigns were held as part of the International Peace Marathon in Moscow where 1,000 Amway distributors participated to raise funds for the Equal in Sport project for children with disabilities.
Vienna, Austria: Amway helped raise money for Kinderkrebshilfe, which helps children with cancer, by supporting the Business Run in Vienna.
Bratislava, Slovakia: Amway supported the River Park Night Run, where 80 Amway distributors raised funds for UNICEF by participating in a nine-kilometer run.
Copenhagen, Denmark: With the support of Amway distributors, 14 Amway teams took part in an annual 5-kilometer relay race to raise money for Julemærkefond, a foundation that supports children in special schools.
Kiev, Ukraine: During an Amway road show held across the country, Amway volunteers built children's playgrounds at seven regional hospitals, which will help more than 30,000 children.
Stockholm, Sweden: Amway challenged distributors to participate in the Bellman 5×5 km relay race, and 230 people rose to the challenge, raising money for the Red Cross to support relief work in the Horn of Africa.
Peiting, Germany: At this year's "Pfaffenwinkel Radrundfahrt" bike race, Amway participated with 200 bikers, which made Amway the largest group of participants. For every biker, Amway donated 25 Euros to Kunterbunt, which provides holiday parties and excursions for disabled children and teenagers.
Paris, France: Employees and distributors of Amway took part in the second "Heroes Race" to raise money for Theodora, an organization that brings clowns to children's hospitals.
Milan, Italy: Amway supported the Milan Junior Camp to provide access for underprivileged children, and provided access to children with special needs from Russia to visit the AC Milan soccer team.
Krakow, Poland: Amway employees and distributors built a playground for children in partnership with government officials from Poland and the United States.

Councilmember Paul Krekorian Tuesday introduced a motion Tuesday that could lead to a ban on the possession of high-capacity ammunition magazines within the city of Los Angeles.
In his motion, the Councilmember, a member of the Public Safety Committee, referenced both the North Hollywood shootout 16 years ago in which two heavily armed gunmen stormed a local bank and attempted to overpower an outgunned LAPD and the Newtown, Connecticut massacre that took the lives of 26 children and adults. In both instances, a high powered high assault rifle was used.
"While high-capacity magazines are not the cause of gun violence, they do make such tragic cases far more deadly," he said.
Currently, state law bans the sale of high-capacity magazines but not the possession of such clips.
"This gap in the law threatens public safety, because on the streets of Los Angeles, high-capacity magazines pose a daily threat to our citizens and police officers," Councilmember Krekorian said.
The motion by Councilmember Krekorian asks the City Attorney, the Chief Legislative Analyst and the Police Department to report on "the feasibility, effectiveness and benefits of an ordinance to prohibit the possession of high-capacity ammunition magazines within the City of Los Angeles."
The motion will next be heard in the Public Safety Committee before it returns to the full Council for consideration. The motion is attached.

In this study, Christine Schliesser examines the problem of guilt in Bonhoeffer's writings, arguing that the concept of accepting guilt emerges from Bonhoeffer's understanding of Christology. Since Jesus Christ has accepted the guilt of humankind, so the disciple must also be willing to accept guilt for the sake of the other. In addition, Schliesser reveals the unresolved tensions that emerge in the concept of accepting guilt and discusses the extent to which Bonhoeffer's concept is still relevant to Christian ethics today.

If you strike up a conversation with people about faith, you are likely to leave scratching your head.
Nationwide polls confirm that it's hard to believe that most of us aren't sure what we believe. In 2011, the Gallup organization posed this simple question to Americans, "Do you believe in God?"
More than 9 in 10 Americans, 92 percent, still say "yes" when asked the question in that way. In spite of everything else that you may hear, that is only down slightly from the same Gallup question asked of Americans in 1944.
This past spring, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey confirms those numbers and discovered even more focused opinions. While more than 90 percent said they believe in God, eight out of 10 said that their religious faith is at least someone important in their daily lives. Two out of three Americans — 64 percent — say they believe in the God of the Bible.
But a column headline in the Huffington Post on March 13 may leave you scratching your head. If 9 out of 10 Americans believe in God, how can "Religion Among Americans Hits Low Point" also be true?
The article goes on to state that the number of Americans who claim to have no religious affiliation is at its highest point ever. But even that is deceptive. First it doesn't negate the possibility of faith — it just says that the faith is not committed to a local place of worship.
Second, by using the phrase "highest point ever" the author gives the feeling that the number is the vast majority. Buried within the article, the actual numbers are quietly revealed.
In the 1940s, the percentage of people who had no religious affiliation was about 5 percent. The vast majority of those were people of the Christian faith.
Today, the number of people without a religious affiliation — defined as a place to worship on a regular basis — is a little less that 20 percent. That, too, can be deceiving because some of that number are people from other countries who do not have a local building or community with which to practice their faith.
There is also a very practical reason for the discrepancy. To most people, faith implies an unwavering certainty. I have faith that our government will work out a plan to avoid defaulting on the payment of interest on bonds. (I am writing this as zero hour is approaching. We will see whether my faith is warranted.)
I have faith that I will arrive to and from work with safety. I have faith that the God of creation holds all life — including mine — in the palm of His hand. I long to live with that certainty, to know without a doubt that I am trusting and serving the holder of truth.
But at the same time, I am limited in my knowledge and perspective. Circumstances that touch people deeply, woven with my limited understanding, cause me to wonder distressingly.
Earlier this summer, Jane, a woman of immense faith, was serving food to homeless and underprivileged families on a Saturday afternoon. A week later, we were remembering her life at her burial. This week, I stood in a funeral home while loved ones laid to rest a 21-year-old woman who died of cancer.
I wrestle with faith when a natural disaster destroys the lives of individuals that I do not even know. I wrestle with faith when an unnatural dementia snatches daily the memory and communication skills of my mother, placing the weight of care and uncertainty on the shoulders of my sister.
Truth be told — even those known for their deep faith — people like Billy Graham, Martin Luther and Mother Teresa — have wrestled with the doubt caused by unanswerable and painful questions.
John Ortberg, in an honest book titled, "Faith and Doubt," candidly describes the grapple with doubts when walking through the faith-shaking storms of life. With a grin that somehow makes its ways to the pages of the book, Ortberg writes, "Faith and doubt. What if the most important one is the one in the middle?" What if wrestling leads to more honest faith and outrageous hope?
The Bible tells the story of a man who brought his son to Jesus to be healed. As the father described the symptoms of the boy, medical experts today would have diagnosed seizures and convulsions.
Psychological and neurological problems abound; today teams of experts would have been summoned for study and treatment. Can you relate to the father who simply says, "If you can do anything, please take pity on us and help him." Jesus said, "Do you believe?"
The man immediately exclaimed, "I do believe; help me when it seems I don't."
And help me too.

Updated, this post was like 2 years old heh.
I am 6'2", currently 103kg. Played football and lacrosse in HS, more lax in college. Got into liftin a bit in college then it became a real hobby in ... 2005.
Goin on my 5th year workin in Korea. From the States. Had knee surgery here like a year and a half ago.
The two times I've really liked how I felt (higher energy than now cuz in such good shape) and also liked how I looked were pretty different.
Once, like 4 years ago, I got down to like 87kg after just biking like 30 to 90 minutes 6 days a week for 3 months. Diet was light, lots of chicken salads. 6pack basically but then my knee gave out. And I prolly couldn't have moved much weight at all.
And in early 2007 I had been consistently doin a 5x5 program with a decent diet. No abs but got strongest in my life and was 92kg. Knee really gave out...
Now, up to 103kg, gained like 8kg since knee surgery ><
Almost as strong as when I was 92kg I guess but obviously my diet sucks.
I have plenty of time to lift and write about it lol, find it a little hard to decent groceries sometimes (ie stuff with nutrition facts on it...). Where's the decent yogurt, any bread that isn't white, cottage cheese, the canned tuna from back home that I can actually digest decently? Hehe.
Any input welcome! On my routine, diet, etc...
All weight is in kg.
Short Term Goals
Healthy knee.
Bench my bw 10x.
Keep the diet in check.
Defined chest, bigger back.
Get athletic looking and big.

Tuesday's Workout
General low energy, probably cuz my poor diet, general inactivity and also... with this new program, it seems geared for strength and it doesn't get my heart pumpin to burn the calories like I was before. Must alter my cardio/diet accordingly... come on willpower...
Got to work on rack pull form. Supersetting continues. Here's a reminder to just not do anything involving my knee for a few weeks when gym membership runs out early Sept...

Alternating Hammer Curls
24x13 28x8 28x8
Single Leg Curls
15x8 20x12 20x12
This leg stuff is basically rehab the doctor told me to do for my knee...
For many exercises, including bicep curls, leg curls, and cable rows, I find I can do a certain weight like 12 times but struggle with even like 4 reps of the next weight up. Maybe normal but I think my CNS might be messed and will need to retrain it... guess that's why I started up this diff. program...
What's the universal way to write how much weight I do and for how many reps? No matter how I write it, I understand it but I want everyone else to, too. For example, I did 8 reps for each arm of the hammer curls but with 14kg dumbbells. Maybe 14x8? Elite newbie question.
Overall feelin fine but just feel like I'm getting fat but not stronger. Just started though! Cut down on cardio for the knee and cuz I read it might help put on muscle better, that's probably it.

Energy level fine, considering I overate yesterday again. Weight up about 2 kilos I think, too much too fast. Feel good anyways.
sounds like an interesting experience to teach english in korea at such a young age! i can see where you'd want to come home though...
workouts look decent. keep to it, and don't try and push yourself if you'll risk injury, you've got your whole life ahead of you to train, so take your time.
since i'm a dork like that,
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly.

Had to move the same day as this workout, forgot my workout notebook and thus forgot to do DB pullovers and calve raises. Sucks I misses the POs cuz I like them but better of to drop that leg stuff cuz my knee feels funny... gives way when I try to pivot while walking and stuff. Not cool. Weight still around 89kg, diet will change alot when I get back home but we'll see if it's for the better. Not rising enough although I'm getting stronger. I think goin back will be my big chance to get my knee completely healthy and bulk up too; plenty of free time and easier to find what I want and monitor it... Hopefully come back here by January with a good knee and then time to cut!

Tried to move the weight faster but more controlled. Focusing a bit more. Bench form poor, knee felt like it would buckle if I did poor form for DLs. Complete lack of actual bulking blamed on my life in general being up in the air, takin an active rest anyways. No kitchen presently. Korean food seems generally healthy but I suck so not sure how to eat right since I'm goin out. Feelin really good when I work out though in general, good rush... guess the pictures can't lie when I do them again in a couple weeks.
Taking the workouts as I can get them. Weight staying about the same due to diet but feeling like I'm broadening and looking better thanks to the program (and change of program...) and feeling good because of adequate days off from the gym, I assume I was overtraining slightly / doin too much volume before.

My stress level has dropped cuz I'm not workin but my emotions in general are runnin along as I say goodbyes and get ready to leave the country. Due to these things among others it feels great to go in and get some kind of pump going in the gym. Plenty of old Korean ladies dressed late 80s style with the tan sheen tights and the high socks running around the place doin aerobics. It was hot.

Once again got a good pump goin but my diet, healthier than normal actually but then add beer in there... probably hurting progress. And a weird sleep schedule. But then again I just lift in general to feel better and to have more energy so no harm done.
Knee status... unchanged. Weight still around 90kg.
Really don't want to leave some people behind that I must... can't bring the country with me. :P

Wow, so much... food and everything else here. Churchs Chicken... Whataburger...? New places to avoid? Anyways it's weird to be back but it's easy to realize the food selections here are great now that I've be out of the country for a while then back in. And food with nutrition facts! Wow. Weight up, must stop eating so much cuz of the big diet change, gaining so much weight in a short time can't be good.

RDL and GM continue to be the best ab workouts I do. Ah that Snickers Protein bar with 20g protein is good... all these new protein bars that I'll have to take a box back with me... the 26g Snickers one is vng.
So u bulkin up i guess?
I always feel the Gm in my abs, glad its not just me.
Gl with everything, and def get on fitday, should make ur results more favorable.
Complication breeds desperation.
Yea, bulking... will be too easy to gain weight considering how much more of everything there is in the American diet compared to the Korean one... clean bulking, that's the big problem. I have a hard time regulating my diet but it was much easier in Korea cuz I didn't have much of a choice once I just cut way back on juices and junk food...

Joined a local gym... not much room for DLs and the music is horrible. Expensive. Anyways it's just for a month cuz I don't know what I'm doing.
I walk like 10% of what I used to before I moved back, and hang around in places where the AC is chillier than before... I think these things combined just make my body... stagnate a bit and make it hard to get goin for a workout. And my gym is too chilly too. The normal American diet too... I think this all slows me down. But it's all of my own choosing. Anyways interesting how I can tell I'm affected like that.
Should figure out proper form for rack pulls and start those, and pause on goin up in weight on the second through fourth lifts to work on form.
Did more cardio today than normal. Check my fitday if you want. 3000k a day seem about right?
I'm definitely still gettin bigger and it's really cool seein that happen but... I hate adding the fat but I simply can't stop from eating sometimes.

Felt good, good pump. I guess I'm getting bigger but my diet isn't good... knee swelling way down. Worked on SC form as I should all other forms...
Eating out and also eating homecooking with lots of different ingredients so hard to figure out my caloric intake and what my maintenance calories are. Easy to figure I've been eating too high above maintenance for over a week anyways. I'm lookin forward to whenever I cut... maybe unlike many. Hehe.

Did Rack Pulls for the second time and changed to BB BO Rows. Will be able to do more than a bit more for rows next time, worked on form for new lift. Corrected Cable work to be more of a flye. The lat area on my right side is so much noticeably bigger on my right side than my left that it's funny. I like this program alot and I have plenty of energy for working out cuz I'm eating so much now that I'm back here. Fatness.

Updated Dec 18, 2012 - 3:18 pm
Suns notes: Scola gives, Brown takes
Monday though, Scola dialed up his inner-Nash with a career-high ten assists against Sacramento.
"I've been playing for a couple of years now so I think I understand the game a little bit better," Scola said of a Suns performance matched only one other time this season (Goran Dragic, Nov. 2 vs. Detroit).
"With a little time playing for this time I've started to learn my teammates a little bit better too," Scola continued. "The number of assists doesn't really matter but the fact that if I could be effective of helping other teammates to get shots and help the team have a little bit of a flow is going to be important I think."
Scola became just the fifth non-guard to record double-digit assists in a game this season, joining Kevin Durant, Al Horford, Greg Monroe and Nicolas Batum.
The Suns caught a glimpse of what Scola could do with the basketball in his hand very early in training camp. He had a game-high five assists in the team's final scrimmage before departing San Diego.
"When you've got smart guys on the basketball court that know what to do with the ball when they get it, it makes it easier on the whole team," Shannon Brown said.
So while Scola giveth, Brown taketh away.
With 2:32 remaining in the game, Brown picked off a DeMarcus Cousins pass for his one and only steal on the night. It was, however, his 11th straight game of at least one steal, setting a new career-high.
"Just trying to lock in with the defense," Brown said of the streak. "We're going to put pressure on the guys, whether it's doubling or whether we trap a guy. I just want to be there if they try to make a lazy pass and just get it and get out and run and get some easy baskets.
"It is kind of an art to it," he added, "because you've got to be on the same page with all of your teammates. If I don't get that pass, I've got to trust that they've got my back. So, if I'm on point and I get the pass, we're off to the races."
�The starting lineup of Dragic, Brown, Dudley, Scola and Gortat is 3-0; it's the first Suns starting squad this season to win its first three games together. Alvin Gentry has used five starting lineups this season.

A Casa! Dany Torres Triumphs on Home Turf at Red Bull X-Fighters Madrid
Dany Torres must love those Tapas (traditional mini dishes). Oakley's Spanish FMX star took advantage of that home cooking to emerge victorious at Red Bull X-Fighters Madrid in late July, racking up a perfect five-out-of-five vote before 25,000 raucous home fans in the country's largest bullfighting arena, Plaza de Toros. "It's the best day of my life," Dany said, rocking his Oakley motocross goggles. The talented Spaniard threw down a variation of a super can Indian air flip, Hart Attack Indian air flip, and a dead body flip – as well a surprise secret trick that proved enough to seal the deal: A McMetz to cliffhanger.

Oscar-nominated writer-director Noah Baumbach is known as the creator of literate, personal films about characters in crisis. Actress Greta Gerwig has parlayed her deft touch playing blond oddballs in small indie films into work with an impressive roster of filmmakers including Woody Allen, Ivan Reitman and Whit Stillman.
Now the real-life couple, who worked together on "Greenberg," have co-written a melancholy comedy, "Frances Ha" that's becoming one of the most-buzzed-about films on the fall film festival circuit. Directed by Baumbach, the black-and white movie stars Gerwig as an aspiring dancer in New York City who's thrown off balance when her relationship with her best friend and roommate undergoes a sudden strain.

For The News Courier
— Friday, September 13
Athens (2-0) at Hartselle (2-0)
7 p.m. J.P. Cain Stadium
Why it's important: The shuffle for playoff positioning in 5A Region 8 begins tonight in Hartselle as a pair of undefeated teams mix it up in this heated rivalry. Although still early in the season, the winner of this game will effectively stake a major claim to one of the four playoff spots in the region. For Athens, the Golden Eagles will find out if they are for real against a team that has won seven straight in the series. The teams are dead even through 60 games in the series dating back to 1929.
Preview: These teams have faced similar schedules so far this season with each team beating a capable 6A opponent while burying region cellar-dwellers last week. Despite putting up big numbers last week, both teams could rely on their defenses in this early-season tilt.
Series history: The series is tied 29-29 with two ties.
Last year: Hartselle won 23-7
News Courier prediction: Athens 8, Hartselle 7
North Jackson (0-2) at Ardmore (2-0)
7 p.m., Cooper Field
Preview: This one will be interesting. Normally a perennial power in Class 4A, North Jackson visits Ardmore tonight off the heels of two heavy defeats. The Chiefs were blasted in the opening week 46-0 by Fort Payne followed by a 28-7 region defeat against Madison County last week. Ardmore has gone about its business in two wins this season, quietly jumping out to a 2-0 start. Could this be the year Ardmore beats North Jackson? A win would be one of the biggest in program history.
Series history: North Jackson leads 5-0
Last Year: North Jackson won 42-14
News Courier Prediction: North Jackson 28, Ardmore 24
Madison Academy (2-0) at Clements (1-1)
7 p.m., M.T. Newman Stadium
Preview: What a win for Clements last week. The Colts snapped the program's longest losing streak in a dramatic 34-32 win over West Morgan. That win will do so much for the Colts' confidence, but it might not matter this week against what is probably the top team in the state outside of 5A-6A. The Mustangs beat the defending 2A champions, Tanner, and 3A semifinalist Lauderdale County by an average of 41 points their opening two wins.
Series history: Clements leads 12-10
Last Year: Madison Academy won 55-0
News Courier Prediction: Madison Academy 56, Clements 7
Russellville (0-2) at East Limestone (0-2)
7 p.m., East Limestone Stadium
Preview: Russellville travels or limps into Capshaw tonight looking for its first win of the season. The Tigers are 0-2 for the first time since 1997 while East Limestone is 0-2 for the second consecutive year. Offense has been the Tigers problem this season after losing offensive coordinator Shane Smothers and his two sons to Muscle Shoals in the offseason.
East hasn't had a problem scoring, averaging 24 points per game in two losses this season. The problem is defense. The Indians, gave up 45 points to Cullman last week.
Series history: Russellville leads 4-1
Last Year: Russellville won 37-14
News Courier Prediction: East Limestone 24, Russellville 20
Westminster (1-1) at Elkmont (0-2)
7 p.m., Boss Hill Stadium
Preview: Elkmont hosts Westminster tonight and is looking for its first win of the season. The Red Devils have found ways to score this season, but can't slow teams down enough to enter the fourth quarter with a chance to win. Westminster narrowly missed the playoffs last season in one of the toughest regions in 3A. The Wildcats were shut out 35-0 by Deshler last week.
Series history: Westminster leads 1-0
Last Year: Westminster won 40-14
News Courier Prediction: Westminster 21, Elkmont 17
Cherokee (0-2) at Tanner (1-1)
7 p.m., Rip Swanner Stadium
Preview: Tanner proved last week that its opening-season loss to Madison Academy is not an indication of how their year will go. Last week's 35-14 win was against one of the best teams in 2A Region 8, meaning Tanner should have little trouble with the rest of its regular season schedule.
Series history: Tanner leads 11-4
Last Year: Tanner won 67-7
News Courier Prediction: Tanner 55, Cherokee 6
Central (2-0) at West Limestone (1-1)
7 p.m., James Kennemer Stadium
Preview: West Limestone plays its second tough opponent in as many weeks when the Wildcats hosts Central in a 4A Region 8 contest. West held its own against 2012 region champs Brooks in a 27-12 defeat last week. Region runner-up and possible front-runner this season, Central, brings an undefeated team to Salem looking to go 3-0. Dropping another region game wouldn't be the end of the world, but a win would dramatically increase West Limestone's chances of making the playoffs. Central has won eight consecutive games in the series.
Series history: Central leads 8-5
Last Year: Central won 62-12
News Courier Prediction: Central 27, West Limestone 22

The Andover Townsman
---- — Destination Imagination students this school year have taken the problem-solving competition to a whole new level - and to new competitors. Before the school year started 17 students, from West Elementary, West Middle, Wood Hill Middle, Doherty Middle and Andover High School, created a Destination Imagination-style challenge for West Middle School teachers. Principal Steve Murray divided his entire staff into 12 groups and they attempted the challenge of building towers using specific materials.
Each group had 5 minutes to work on its tower under the watchful eyes of their "student appraisers. Then the students got to play "judge" talking individually with their groups of teachers, and then sharing some feedback publicly with the entire group. "This was such a win-win situation: students sharing a fun moment in a unique way and having the opportunity to provide positive and constructive feedback to their teachers, and teachers interacting with each other in a unique way," according to DI parent Stephanie Maze-Hsu. "By the time I got home, I had several emails from excited teachers raving about the experience and wanting to include more of this type of hands-on, student driven activity into their curriculum."

Photojojo finds the best photo DIY Projects, Tips, and Gear.
"We're addicted to Photojojo" -- Heather Champ
"Take Photos? You Need this Newsletter." -- Jim Heid
Columnist, Los Angeles Times
"I'm the kinda guy who unsubscribed from every email list I was on in 1999... But their excitement was contagious, and before I knew it, I was plunking down my address." - Derek Powazek
A List Apart
"I'm never disappointed by Photojojo." -- Dave Johnson
PC World
Back in March, we told you about George Lange's 2006 photo flipbook. Ever since, you've been emailing, calling, and using messenger pigeons with little notes attached to their tiny little ankles to ask us how you can create your own Lange-style flipbook.
Ok, already. We're gonna show you how.
To keep things simple, we'll use a free and easy web application called JumpCut that works on any computer. Before you know it, you'll be stringing together photos and music to make a beautiful photo slideshow of your very own.
Read our tutorial to learn how!
p.s. Today's the last day to order photo goodies for you mama in time for Mother's Day. There, we said it.
There's plenty of fancy (and expensive) software editing tools out there that you could build your flipbook in, but we're in like with this online, browser-based editing tool called Jumpcut. It makes it super simple to put your own flipbook together — plus it's free!
Before we start, here's an example of what we're going to show you how to make.
The Ingredients
Step 1: Pick Your Photo
Once you've got all the materials together, log into your JumpCut account to add the photos you'll use.
You can upload files off your computer, or you can import your Flickr or Facebook albums.
From the main Jumpcut page, click "Upload" from the top menu.
If you want to upload photos from your computer, just hit the big green "Upload" button and select the files you want (Shift + Click to select more than one).
To connect to your Flickr or Facebook pics, click the icon on the bottom right corner and choose the albums you want to import.
Step 2: Make your flipbook
With your photos uploaded it's time to create your movie. This is where you'll piece everything together to make your story. Unlike a web page, Flickr account or even a photo album, your audience will be experiencing your work linearly, from start to end, so take some time to decide how you want to order your photos.
Will your flipbook progress randomly? Perhaps your photographs should be organized by theme, color or mood? Maybe you'll start off with subtlety and lead into a big finish.
Now that you've got a rough idea of what your flipbook will look like, it's time to put it together!
From the main page click "Create" from the top menu. On the next screen choose to start a new edit session by clicking "Open the Editor".
The editor is composed of three main parts: the work area on the top left, the tabs section on the top right to manage settings / content, and the tile pane on the bottom which holds your photos.
To bring in the photos you uploaded, from the tabs panel click "+Add". Now click the "Your Media" tab and then from the drop down menu choose "All your clips and photos" so that you see something like this. Now you can drag the photos down to the content panel and arrange them in the order you want.
Before you start arranging, though, it'll help to have a soundtrack, so let's add one.
Step 3: Add a soundtrack
As we've all experienced by watching any music video or a movie montage, your musical selection matters just as much as your photos — so choose something that meshes well with your theme. In Lange's flipbook, the consistent beat and calm vocals worked well with his portraits and expression-driven shots.
Once you've dug through all your playlists and found the perfect jingle, click "+Add" from the tabs panel and hit the green "Choose Files" button to select your audio file.
When your music is done uploading, click on "Audio" in the tabs panel and choose "New Audio". Select the song you just uploaded and click "Add." Your music will show up in the timeline and be listed under "Audios in this movie" as seen here.
Step 4: Set the pace of your flipbook
Lange's flipbook had a really quick pace which fit well with his high-energy music. If your music is also upbeat, you'll want quick cuts between photos. (We used half a second for ours.) If your music's slower and maybe a little more dramatic, you'll want to drag the each photo out a bit longer. Maybe the pace changes throughout, in which case you can individually control the photos so that they hit the right beats at the right time.
To individually control how long a photo is shown, choose a photo, then select "Clip" from the tabs panel and change the duration.
If you want to set the duration of all your clips at once, choose "Actions" from the tabs panel and use the "Set all image durations to ___ sec" option. Click "Apply" on the bottom when you're done.
Step 5: Publish and Share
When done tweaking your flipbook, click "Publish" from the bottom right corner, and add any relevant details your flipbook such as title and tags.
Ready to present your flipbook to your friends and receive their thunderous praise? Then use the "Post" or "Share" options to add it to your blog, website, or to email it to anyone you like!
Read through Jumpcut's Quick Guide tutorial to learn how to take advantage of all the editing tools they have to offer.
Consider experimenting with some stop motion within your flipbook. Take photos in rapid fire, and use some tips from our How to Make Stop-Motion Video Shorts with Your Digital Camera tutorial.
Play with some of JumpCut's transitions (under the "Clip" tab) or image effects (under the "Effects" tab) for added control over flipbook.

#24 UW-Milwaukee Downs Valpo 1-0 in Exhibition Finale
Sunday, August 20, 2006After nearly 70 minutes of scoreless soccer, the 24th-ranked UW-Milwaukee Panthers found the back of the net and held on late to top Valpo 1-0 Sunday at Eastgate Field in the Crusaders final exhibition tune-up of the 2006 season.
The Brown and Gold kick off the regular season back at Eastgate on Friday night at 5:00 p.m. against DePaul.
Sunday, UW-Milwaukee's Steve Sperl punched a point-blank cross from Andre Francois past freshman Ryan Schwarz (Rockford, Ill./Boylan Catholic) in the 70th minute for the match-winner. Both teams had several scoring chances throughout the second half, but Panther keeper Grant Fernstrum was up to every challenge, making seven saves and recording the shutout.
The Crusaders out-shot the Panthers 14-12, firing seven shots on goal to only four from UW-Milwaukee. Paul Leitelt (Munster, Ind./Munster) led the Valpo offense with four shots and D.J. Catrow (Springfield, Ohio/Catholic Central) added three, with two on frame.
Beginning with the 2007 season, Valpo and UW-Milwaukee will be frequent foes with the Crusaders moving to the Horizon League, a league the Panthers have won each of the last four seasons.
Friday's Valpo match against DePaul can be heard live on 95.1 FM, WVUR, and online at www.valpo.edu/wvur. Pregame coverage of the 5:00 p.m. tilt is scheduled to begin at 4:50 p.m.

Two weeks from the Nov. 6 election, many eyes locally and nationally are trained on the 5th Congressional District race between Elizabeth Esty (D) and State Sen. Andrew Roraback (R-30).
The candidates made the stakes very clear in a forum Tuesday at the Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center in Avon that was co-sponsored by Farmington Valley Jewish Congregation Emek Shalom in Simsbury and Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford.
Esty, a Cheshire attorney, said that the 5th District race is the "fourth-most expensive Congressional race in the country." National press is covering the race and money is pouring into campaign advertisements. She noted an attack ad against her from a $1 millon super-pac in Ohio as an example of how important the election results are to not only district constuents, but also to people across the country who are not voting in the race.
It's the first time in 30 years an incumbent hasn't run in the 5th District – one of two New England Congressional seats without a candidate running for re-election, she said.
"This is considered one of 15 open toss-up Congressional seats in the country," she said, adding that the 5th District opening is "one of the handful of seats that may determine which party controls the House of Representatives."
Esty and Roraback were each given about an hour each to introduce themselves and answer questions from moderator Jon Rubin, Emek Shalom president, and about 20 residents from Avon, Canton, Simsbury and West Hartford in the audience.
"We think it's important for the community to be educated on the candidates and what they stand for," Rubin said.
Rubin asked them their positions on helping the elderly, poor and vulnerable, Medicare and Medicaid, immigration policy, preventing a nuclear Iran and how they'd make sure Israel stays a "strong Democratic state." Audience questions ranged from the economy to the difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Voting Alignment with National Party?
As someone who Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner led a fundraiser for at The Hartford Club two weeks ago, Roraback, of Goshen, said he doesn't think the vote on Speaker of the House will be the most important one he'd make in Congress.
He painted himself as a moderate Republican who could collaborate across party lines. Roraback said he is an American before a Republican and that he would not put his party before his beliefs and the needs of his constituents.
When elected as a state representative in 1994, his first vote was slated to be on whether to allow casinos in Bridgeport. He said Gov. John Rowland called him pressuring him to vote in favor of the casinos, but he turned him down and said "I can't in good conscience support this bill."
Esty, a former Cheshire town council member, became a state representative in 2008 and voted against the death penalty for "religious reasons." In a town still shaken by the 2007 Cheshire home invasion, she said that was an unpopular move and she was not re-elected in 2010.
"It demonstrates that I'm somebody who cares more about getting the right thing done, whatever the cost is to me politically," she said.
In a vote to legalize same-sex marriage, he was the only Republican to vote yes.
"I'm against discrimination," Roraback said.
He said he got some push back, but that "party loyalty is not what I'm about." He called "partisan advantage" an enemy to political success.
Esty said that the main reason the government is growing more partisan is clashing social values.
What Esty and Roraback Agree On
Gay marriage is an issue that he and Esty agree on, as well as other social issues and supporting Israel.
Esty and Roraback both wanted to focus on supporting small businesses. Roraback said that he was in favor of less regulations and Esty spoke mostly of the potential she sees in the manufacturing industry.
Both advocate immigration reform, but in different ways. Roraback opposed the DREAM Act in the State Senate last year, but Esty said she supports it. According to ctnewsjunkie.com, the act allowed "undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates at Connecticut colleges and universities." He said that while he is all for the children getting an education, they wouldn't legally be able to find work after college, so a plan is needed.
Esty said that a sound immigration policy should be a priority and that securing U.S. borders is also important.
Rubin asked both candidates, "How do you see the U.S. role in preventing a nuclear Iran?"
Roraback said he discussed the topic with Dr. Henry Kissinger – former secretary of state and National Security Affairs advisor, according to his website – at a fundraiser he hosted for Roraback's campaign in New York.
"His assessment was that within the next nine months, it's likely that Iran might try to move their nuclear weapon production capability underground," Roraback said, "and should they do that, it would be a very dangerous thing for all of us in the Western world."
He said he "use of force" should only be a last resort to avoid putting Americans' lives at risk.
Esty described Israel's vulnerability to the Middle Eastern countries around it.
Where the Candidates Differ
One area where the candidates differ is Roraback's belief that health care should be left to individual states.
"You have states that there's no way women will get affordable health care if you appeal," Avon resident Linda Merlin (D) said to him in response.
Roraback said he wants to go to Washington to "mold solutions." When Merlin asked if he would compromise on a bill to raise taxes on the wealthy if it include items he agreed on to reduce the deficit, he said that he thinks the federal government should spend one year revising the lengthy tax code. During that time, he said the federal government should avoid raising taxes on anyone.
Esty said she advocated letting "Bush tax cuts" expire for the wealthy and perserving them for the middle class. She said her economic philosophy differs with her opponent's view.
When an audience member asked her about a sound byte in a negative television ad that shows her at a Cheshire meeting telling senior citizens they should move out of town if the taxes are too high for them, Esty said that it was taken out of context. She was a private citizen when she spoke at a public budget meeting 10 years ago as a frustrated mother standing up for school funding in the heat of the moment.
But when she got involved in public office, she listened to seniors' concerns and worked to solve the problems they faced in her community, she said.
Public service is something both candidates hope to continue doing if elected.
