Patologicum - Hecatomb of Aberration
Patologicum - Hecatomb of Aberration
Crude Entertainment
file under Death metal
Menno: As a Lords of Metal reviewer you sometimes receive some rather vague material. An example of this are the three CDs sent to me from the dark Poland by Crude Entertainment. The band Patologicum even was represented by two releases; one 2006 demo and one older full-length without any form of information entitled 'Hecatomb of Aberration'. Their primitive website also lacks in information but luckily, the 2006 demo included a discography which informed me that 'Hecatomb of Aberration' was released in 2003 and I don't have a clue why this is promoted four years later.
Anyway, let's take it for a spin. The artwork made me curious. I believe that the guys went to the 'Bodies' exhibition from the German pathologist Gunther von Hagens and shot some nice photographs over there. The record starts of with a long a rather boring intro which instantly reminds me of Mortician. The same can be said for the rest of Patologicum's music. Primitive and mega-low riffs, slow and turbo-fast drums and the low vocals ring my bell but the music resembles Mortician just a tad too much for my taste. The only difference in music is the fact that vocalist Piotr uses a little piggy-barf every now and then in stead of low-frequency mumbling all the time. The many and very boring intros are not only lacking in originality ('I see dead people') but they also ruin the CD's tempo and makes it a whole less interesting. Together with the fact that the music is a shameless rip-off, the listener should prepare himself for a very boring experience.

Tagged: Afghanistan
Afghanistan's next government must urgently devote greater resources to building up to 6,000 new schools, training upwards of 5,000 new midwives and professionalizing the police force to improve the lives of ordinary Afghans, aid agencies working in Afghanistan said today.
Too few ordinary Afghans are benefiting from international aid efforts in their country, with a third of the population at risk of hunger.
Sitting on the floor of her shop, Alam carefully measures out a kilo of wheat for her neighbor. With help from Oxfam and other women in her village, Alam started her own small business six months ago.
The planned troop surge in Afghanistan could see more Afghans suffering in the conflict unless international military forces prioritize the safety of civilians in all their operations.
An intensification and spread of violence threatens to push parts of Afghanistan towards a serious humanitarian situation.
These women and children from Afghanistan were trained to use the cameras and write descriptions to accompany their photographs. Their work gives a unique insight into how the women see themselves and the challenges they face on a daily basis.
Afghanistan remains one of the poorest countries in the world, affected by decades of conflict and disasters, from persistent drought to flash flooding, earthquakes and the food price crisis. Oxfam is providing humanitarian aid, supports rural development and sustainable livelihood programs.

This lake is as famous for a destination as the events that it hosts. Where was the first World Championship snowmobile races held? Want to play world class pond ice hockey, where do you head in February? Where is Chanticleer resort? There you go – Dollar Lake in Eagle River.
Dollar Lake is located between Dollar Lake Rd. and E. Dollar Lake Rd., just to the north of Highway 70, east of Highway 45 and just east the Eagle River Ice Arena. This 105 acre lake is a seepage lake and is 15 feet at its deepest point.
There is no public ramp on the lake; however, there is good fishing featuring Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass and Bluegills that inhabit the lake. According to the DNR, it is a moderately clear lake.
Without a doubt, the owners of the Chanticleer Inn, the Alwards, are responsible for creating the events that launched this lake into prominence. The first official World Championship Snowmobile Races were held in 1963/64 and current owner Jake Alward's parents, John and Betty, were responsible for organizing the races on Dollar Lake. In 1966, the races were moved to what is now the current Derby track.
This time it was Jake Alward who invited the US Adult Pond Hockey Championships to Dollar Lake in 2006. This coming February 6 through the 8, the 2015 10th Annual Labatt Blue USA Hockey Pond Hockey National Championships will be held again on Dollar Lake.
For a lake of rather diminutive size, Dollar Lake has spawned two events that rapidly gained national reputations. Since 1951 the Chanticleer Inn has been in the Alward clan. Jake and wife, Sue, purchased the resort from Jake's parents, John and Betty, in 1972. The luxurious resort features first rate accommodations and offers superb, award- winning dining along with generous Northwoods hospitality.
Headlines are filled with stories about how poorly government agencies are taking care of our veterans. Here in the Northwoods there are several local groups who have stepped up to the plate to assist veterans and their families. In today's feature, we spoke to John Brandenburg, president of Vietnam Veterans of America, Minocqua Chapter 256.
Founded in 1976, this organization was and is open to any veteran who served in any branch of the military from 1960 to 1975. The founding president, C.W. "Chick" Caywood's memory is honored at the Caywood Shooting Range in Arbor Vitae. Caywood passed away immediately after the VVA's annual spring trip to the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan's U.P.
Initially, the shooting range was managed by Vilas County and was, for all intensive purposes, a dump. When the County announced they intended to close it, VVA stepped forward and said they would run the shooting range if the County cleaned it up.
Today, the range is owned by the DNR. However, the VVA has a 20-year lease to manage the shooting range. Annually, about $900-$1,500 in donations is collected at the range and that money goes into improvements and maintenance. Currently, Brandenburg said, the archery range is being redesigned.
In addition to the shooting range, Brandenburg said the organization awards an annual $1,000 scholarship at Lakeland Union High School, donates annual to Social Services for gifts for 12 to 15 needy children and makes donations to Camp American Legion and King Veterans Home.
Members also give talks at local schools telling students what it was like in Vietnam. They also assist the American Legion with the Honor Guard duties at military funerals.
Brandenburg invites anyone who served anywhere in the military from 1960-1975 to drop in at the monthly meeting held at 6 p.m. at the American Legion in Minocqua the first Tuesday of every month.

While big media outlets focus their attention on the foibles of government agencies in dealing with veterans, locally American Legion Post 114 in Eagle River has stepped up with their own action plan. A two-day event for August 22 and 23 is planned to raise funds in the 2014 Wounded Warriors 3rdAnnual Golf Outing/Fundraiser.

Tickets will also be available at the door for $40 per person or $60 per couple.
Dance the evening away to a DJ and live music and participate in winning raffles and prizes.
Saturday, August 23, the Golf Outing 4-Person Scramble kicks off with the flag ceremony and the fly over from 12:45 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.at the Eagle River Golf Course. The shotgun start begins at 1:00 p.m. Registration prior to August 2 is $65 and $75 thereafter. Non-golfing attendee fees are $20. There will be hole prizes, raffles and a silent auction.
The fee includes golfing and a cart, lunch and a hors d'oeuvre reception, hosted by Bill and Andra Draeger, at the Eagle River Country Club. Registration is limited to 30 paid foursomes. There is also a prize for the team wearing the best patriotic attire.
All funds raised will go to the local Wounded Warriors, Camp American Legion and Wound Warriors in Action. Checks should be made payable to WW Golf Outing and mailed to PO Box 623, St. Germain, WI, 54558.

It's here! And it's wonderful! Independence Day weekend is the event highlight for the summer. Businesses and organizations will be sponsoring jam-packed agendas with tons of great things for young and old alike. Visitors and locals are treated to the best gol-darned, ole' fashioned partying to celebrate the US of A's birthday.
Cathy's Ice Cream and Candy Shoppe really knows how to start off the weekend by offering HALF-PRICED ice cream from 4:30PM to 6:30PM today, Friday, as Channel 12's meteorologist Melissa Constanzer broadcasts live from the shop.
Saturday, June 28, make sure to stop at Little Acorns Lodge Children's Development Center for their spectacular fundraiser/rummage sale. Local businesses have made gobs of generous donations to raise money for little Cameron Dahm who was diagnosed with Lymphoma in March of this year. Be sure to stop by between the hours of 9AM and 3PM and pick up a treasure or two while helping a family through a very difficult time. All sales proceeds will be donated to the Dahm family.
It's going to be a real lollapalooza all day Sunday starting with the 10th Annual Freedom 5K Fun Run. Registration begins at 7:30AM and then the race starts at 8:30AM leaving the St. Germain Community Center parking lot. Trophies are awarded to the top male and female finishers with medals going to the top three in each of the eight age categories.
But there is more! Wee ones from the ages of 2 – 12 also have their own competition in the 1K race. There are five age categories that are awarded prizes.
In the past 10 years almost $25,000 dollars has been raised for the Bike and Hike trail. For registration information visit the website at www.freedom.org for the form and more details.
Beginning at 10AM is the Big Brother Big Sister Craft show benefitting this excellent organization.
A beautiful spring day helped the folks at Northern Exchange greet their customers today at their Customer Appreciation Celebration. And what a celebration it is! Delicious food, horse and pony rides, face painting, a ride in their horse drawn wagon, little animals to delight everyone - mini baby pigs (way too cute!), guinea pigs, more baby pigs, ducklings, chicks of many varieties, and pups brought from the Vilas County Humane Society looking for new homes. And all of this fun is offered free of charge at Northern Exchange.
There were also specials on greenhouse items that overflowed onto the grounds. In the store, there were many great feed specials for your critters of choice.
The good news is if you didn't make it there today, you have a chance for tomorrow! They are open from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 14. Meet your neighbors there for a wonderful way to enjoy a spectacular outdoors day!
Meet Shawn Feddema, the owner of what is undoubtedly the most colorful new business in downtown St. Germain. The Hammock Shop, located between DJ's North Woods Family Restaurant and Krist Oil, came to town three months ago bringing 10 years of experience from his previous location in Langlade, Wis.
It was there that Shawn began making hammocks for family and friends in his friend's basement. Eventually he and a partner opened his first location, complete with a beach front décor.
So why did he move his successful business? "I wanted to get into the woods and tap into the awesome energy it generated. I was looking for a longer selling season and a lifestyle change," Shawn grinned.
St. Germain was not his first up north choice. He selected a location on Minocqua's south side that unfortunately turned out to be a wrong choice. Perusing the Internet he came across the vacated storefront that today is home for Shawn and his business.
He linked up with Bernie Kazda and John Misina of Eliason Realty of the North, who helped him every step of the way to close the deal on his new business setting. Ideal it is. Shawn brought his beachfront décor to his new shop with the encouragement of several St. Germain businessmen.
The shop itself has a cozy hammock out front along, several hammocks on display, a work area and a welcoming fire pit where you might just find him grilling lunch. Inside there are three display rooms filled with hammocks in a huge array of lush materials.
Out back there is a finished trail and seating area that leads to trees hung with oh-so inviting hammocks begging for someone to give them a swing.
Shawn says there is only one style hammock but offers different sizes. "We only make one thing and we make it very well," said Shawn.

Legislation introduced by State Rep. Gary Haluska,
D-Patton, on Thursday will make firefighting equipment a bit lighter of a burden on volunteer responders.
The bill exempts individual firefighters from the 6 percent sales tax on personal purchases of protective gear. Some of those privately purchased items could run up to four figures.
Andrew Kaza, owner of Kaza Fire Equipment in Ebensburg, said a coat and a pair of pants go for around $1,500. The "bunker boots" for those pants are about $300, and a helmet could cost anywhere from $250 to $600.
Tax-exempt status would save buyers anywhere from $150 to $200, depending on the equipment purchased.
Career firefighters are already exempt from paying sales tax on equipment if it's a job requirement.
That's something that was first brought to Kaza's attention during a visit from a state tax auditor. If the bill passes, either firefighters looking to upgrade their issued gear or
volunteers looking to fill out their suits would be free from sales tax.
"Sometimes they want a little better equipment than the company provides, or maybe they're using it for classes they attend on their own," said Kaza.
The bill, Pa. H.B. 574, is currently awaiting approval from the House Finance Committee.

I was wondering about his age when he first was elected pope. He was 78 at the time, IIRC. That's the age well past retirement and I just heard that the job requires one to work 10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week, including flying around the world, different times zones, etc. This is a very demanding job even for someone younger.
The pope, according to reports, has trouble walking. I think it's a very wise and fair decision on his part, even though it hasn't happened since 1400. He thinks the Church deserves someone who can put up with the rigorous schedule and has more energy than he does at his age after having been Pope for 8 years.

It's attitudes like yours that have kept women down. You sound like my grandmother from the "old country" who suffered through a horrible arranged marriage & then arranged marriages for her own daughters.
I hear that he will be allowed to stay in Vatican City.
...and then there's this gem going around InternetCuckoo-ville.
The yahoo article I just read said he will stay at the papal summer residence outside Rome (sounds divine) for a while and then retire to a convent in Vatican. It seems that he intends to keep himself out of the new Pope's way.
What I don't understand is the already being whipped up by the press. The Church will destabilize, inner circle "incredulous", shock waves around the world.
Really? The Church has survived a lot worse in the last 2,000 years.

Sorry - glitch
But in reality I would bet a lot of practicing Catholics do use birth control. It's not like the Catholic families I know have a gazillion kids. Two is the usual number, in keeping with the national average.
It's the Jewish orthodox mothers that make me when I see a 25 year old in a wig with 5 kids and another on the way, driving a minivan.

I don't expect the Church or any other form of orthodoxy to budge on birth control. They want more Catholics, Jews, Muslims, etc.

Coming from a Protestant background into the Catholic church, I see the issue of married priests from a different perspective. The pressure on spouses and children of pastors is very damaging sometimes. And the job of a pastor/priest is very consuming often leaving inadequate time to nurture a marriage and be a good parent. In that respect, celibacy frees priests to devote their whole energy to the church and does not leave a spouse or children without adequate attention/devotion from a husband/father. At the same time, it also makes it difficult for priests to have balance and space away from their work.
The Catholic church does not have a monopoly at all on sexual misbehavior by clergy or others in position of power. The media has under reported incidents in other denominations. This blog catalogs a number of incidents and cover-ups both Catholic and Protestant. It is mind boggling. But if you read it, you might notice that marriage is not much of an inoculation against such behavior:
Maybe I'm just unfair because I want the church to agree with me, and that's not how it works. But I refuse to go back while the pedophile priest scandal is dismissed by the church (in fact, didn't Ratzinger claim it was persecution at one point? ), among other things I've mentioned.
That said, I'm glad Ratzinger is stepping down. I don't hold much hope for the future of the church, but there's slight potential now...

Special to the Record-Eagle
TRAVERSE CITY — A feast of food fun is on tap at the annual Festival of Foods Saturday.
Presented by Northwestern Michigan College, the event features 16 different sessions packed with tips from culinary experts with demonstrations and tastings in every room. A record 125 to 130 attendees are already registered.
The Festival of Foods began in 2009 to showcase local foods, college cooking classes and the newly renovated commercial kitchen in the Oleson Center. Attendance and enthusiasm have steadily grown to make the day a winter happening for foodies.
"It's a fun day and people look forward to it," said Julie Doyal, program coordinator for NMC's Extended Education Services. "We always get a good chunk of repeats, but also some new people, too."
The day features four time slots, each offering four classes at a time for attendees to choose from. Topics are varied, fun and intriguing: following a chocolate bean from "bean to bar," learning secrets of knife care and use, cooking without recipes, making ravioli minus the pasta, air brushing cakes, a taste of Japan, farm breakfasts, vegetarian tarts and salsa secrets.
A mix of local chefs, including some staff members at NMC's Culinary Institute, and local culinary artisans who run specialty food businesses are among the presenters. The festival mixes new faces every year in a roster also featuring veteran presenters.
"We have a couple that come back year after year and what they prepare is always different," said Doyal. "Year round, I'm always looking for what would be good for a one-hour demo."
Stacey Wilcox, owner of Bay Bread Company, will delve into the world of bread. She will show attendees creative ways to use spreads, toppings or dipping oils to create tantalizing yet simple appetizers using bread. The first-time presenter will also provide samples of a variety or artisan breads.
"Bread is an easy thing to talk about — I love sharing about it and showing people the difference between breads," Wilcox said. "If you have good basics, you can do anything with it."
NMC offers a range of cooking classes in its commercial kitchen throughout the year. The Festival of Food helps spread the word about them within the food-loving community.
"We have a popular cooking program but a lot of people don't know about it yet," Doyal said.
For more information, call 995-1700 or visit www.nmc.edu and click on Extended Education.
Chocolate Ganache
10 oz. bittersweet chocolate chips
10 oz. heavy whipping cream
Warm heavy whipping cream in a double boiler, add chocolate and stir slowly until combined. Do not let chocolate mixture come in contact with water, as this will seize your mixture.
This can be poured directly over a cake and will be smooth and shiney, or you can wait for it to cool and whip it with a mixer to incorporate air into it. Use a knife to ice onto your cake.
Any leftovers can be stored in a covered dish in the refrigerator.
--Ann Barraclough, Aunt B's Cakes & Desserts and Festival of Foods presenter
Spinach Gnudi (typically called Spinach Malfatti)
1 c. whole milk ricotta cheese
1 10-oz. package frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed dry and finely chopped (See note)
1 c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
¼ t. freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste
1 t. salt
1 t. freshly ground black pepper
5 T. all-purpose flour, plus 1 c. for coating
Homemade, or commercial marinara sauce, heated
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
In a large bowl, mix ricotta, spinach, Parmesan cheese, eggs and yolks. Stir in nutmeg, salt, pepper and 5 T. flour. Form mixture in to small, flattened quenelles (oval shaped dumplings).
Dredge the formed gnudi in flour to coat, tapping off the excess. Slide formed gnudi into the simmering water. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary. Remove the gnudi using a slotted spoon after they float to the top, and have cooked for about 4 minutes.
Arrange these dumplings on a platter and lightly drizzle with marinara sauce.
Or portion out the dumplings into a baking dish that contains a layer of marinara sauce of your choice. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and bake till the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is lightly browned.
Note: Using freshly steamed spinach, which is then squeezed dry and finely chopped, is always somewhat better, but does require another step.
--Chef Pete Peterson, former owner of Tapawingo and Festival of Foods presenter

The Key: Oregon enters the Pac-12 tourney highly motivated after losing its last two games of the regular season and the Pac-12 title along with it. The Ducks won both regular-season meetings against Washington by 5 and 13 and should be able to pull off the trifecta in this motivated spot. The Ducks have the advantage in terms of fresh legs as they haven't played since Saturday. Washington just played a high-intensity game against Washington State last night. The thing I like about Oregon is its balance. It has six guys who average over 9.0 points per game. It had 5 players score 9 or more in both wins over Washington during the regular season. It makes things very tough on the defense with so many guys capable of beating you. Oregon's balance helps it prevail again in this motivated spot. Lay the points.

Partnership provides capital and access to Tier 1 supply chain
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Smith Electric Vehicles (Smith Electric), the leading global producer of all-electric medium-duty commercial vehicles, today announced it has secured a $42 million commitment from Sinopoly Battery Limited (Sinopoly), a worldwide leader in the research, development, production, distribution and sale of Lithium-ion batteries and related EV products. The first $2 million in funding closed today, and the remainder will be invested in two tranches pending milestones to be achieved by both companies in the coming months.
The $42M investment will position Sinopoly as a strategic shareholder in Smith Electric. Under the agreement, Sinopoly will become Smith Electric's exclusive supplier for batteries in vehicle applications that are compatible with Smith Electric's platforms and customer requirements. Sinopoly will also become a preferred supplier for certain electric vehicle components that can be manufactured in its Hangzhou facility.
"Demand for all-electric commercial vehicles is rapidly increasing in China, and Sinopoly's investment in Smith Electric highlights the important role we will play in the global marketplace," said Bryan Hansel, chief executive officer of Smith Electric Vehicles. "This investment provides both companies with the opportunity to leverage the synergies between our operations while Smith maintains the financial and operational flexibility to scale manufacturing, transition and strengthen our supply chain, and move toward company profitability."
"Smith is an internationally renowned supplier of EVs. Sinopoly's investment in Smith represents an important and strategic advance step in establishing Sinopoly as a significant integrated player in the EV industry," said Mr. Cao Zhong, the chairman and executive director of Sinopoly Battery Limited. "The combined expertise of Smith and Sinopoly, which will adopt the name of FDG Electric Vehicles Limited shortly, along with the macro-subsidy policy for alternative energy vehicles, uniquely positions us to capitalize on the rapidly growing commercial EV market in China and the U.S."
Smith Electric will resume production in its Kansas City, Missouri, facility in mid-summer 2014. The company temporarily suspended production in the fourth quarter of 2013 in order to transition its supply chain to Tier 1 suppliers, which will enable Smith Electric to produce its vehicles at a lower cost.
"Sinopoly's investment in Smith Electric Vehicles marks an important milestone in recapitalizing and restructuring the company in preparation for the public market," said Charles Gassenheimer, chairman of the board of Smith Electric Vehicles. Gassenheimer was appointed chairman in April 2014, and brings extensive private and public financial markets experience, as well as significant operational expertise in the EV industry. He added, "This agreement underscores Sinopoly's institutional understanding of the global electric vehicle industry and the company's commitment to working with Smith Electric to create a major player in the market."

The Cherokee County Animal Shelter on Friday started an adoption special geared towards its older dogs.
The county agency started its "Mid-life = Half Price" adoptions, which stipulates that any dog five years or older will be only $50 to adopt in February.
All adoptions includes pay/neuter, microchip, initial vaccinations, initial flea/tick treatment, heart worm tests and a free office visit at a local participating veterinarian.
Shelter staff added the program is mainly for their dogs since they only have one cat that fits the current criteria.
If they receive more cats that are five years and older, they will also be offered up for adoption at the half-price.
The agency normally charges a $100 fee for adoptions.
Adoptions will be held during the shelter's normal business hours, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
The shelter is located at 1015 Univeter Road, Canton, GA 30115.
For more information about the shelter visit www.cherokeega-animals.org or call (770) 345-7270.

What are some clear and logical reasons for why we shouldn't be designing websites with tables? Where are the benefits, what has been driving this idea in the industry? When is it okay to use a table?
1) Tables shouldn't be used for page layouts because they are:
2) Use a table for tabular data. That's what tables are for.
Tables are for tabular data, not design. There is a commom misunderstanding by tableless buzzword.
It is wrong to use tables to create your layout. You should use other elements for layout (divs, lists, section, article, header, footer, aside...). Thus you can achieve great effects with little HTML/CSS (what is semantic, light-weight, easy to maintain ...).
Of course, tabular data should be inside a table element. If you want, you can improve even the tables' semantic by adding thead, tfoot, tbody, th, caption etc. All those elements are intended to be used with tables, and believe me, they can make your table much more richer.
So, thing is, don't go with table-based design and use any HTML/CSS solution that fits. Start from HTML semantic markup, and then build up design with CSS. This should keep anyone safe. Use this as a rule of thumb.
Tables are supposed to contain data, and not design elements.
Tables should only be used when displaying tabular data. Otherwise, they are usually a poor choice for display.
The real cause to not use tables is:
The default layout of a table is:
This tells the browser to analyze the table and fix the cells to contain the elements inside them, which takes some time. (this is why tables are so good for complex data)
Bottom line: the table will render after all the content inside it is rendered, as opposed when using for example DIV elements.

Pryor Police Department is looking for leads regarding the burglary of a storage building.
"The victim is offering a reward, amount undisclosed, for information leading to the arrest and convictions of the individual that burglarized his storage unit," said Detective Kevin Lanham.
The burglary occurred between Oct. 1 and Oct. 12 at Tiger Self Storage in Pryor.
"As is typical of a storage unit, the owner doesn't visit every day but we have narrowed it down to that window of time," said Lanham. "The individual took multiple trailer loads worth of items."
The list of stolen items is six pages long, Lanham said.
Among the list of stolen items is a Primos Double Bull T-2 ground blind and a Double Bull Matrix 360 ground blind, both in swat camouflage.
There was also a Double Bull ground blind chair, a Magnus ground blind backpack chair, Vector & Duke padded leg hold traps, over 100 one-ounce bottles of Deep South trapping lures, trapping snares and trapping cages. Also stolen were 32 Pampered Chef items. The owner reported a 36-piece china set, a Shop Vac, approximately 50 DVDs, a charcoal smoker, massage chair, Samsonite eight-piece set, miscellaneous tools, coolers, a PSP game system and games, three Gameboys and multiple games.
"Many of the items stolen were sentimental and unique. These are not things you can just run out to Walmart and buy," said Lanham.
Among the one-of-a-kind items were hockey sticks autographed by professional players and a Japanese bread slicer purchased in Okinawa.
Anyone with information regarding the burglary is encouraged to call the Pryor Police Department, 918-825-1212. Anonymous tips can be left on the "submit a tip" form on the department's website, www.pryorpolice.com

I got the woven woods and they look really good. We keep it open most of the time to get to our laundry.

Valpo Falls at Home 53-42 to Western Illinois
Saturday, February 11, 2006Western Illinois held Valparaiso to just 34.1% shooting and forced 18 Crusader turnovers as the Westerwinds defeated the Crusaders 53-42 on Saturday afternoon at the Athletics-Recreation Center.
The first half was back and forth the entire way, with four ties and eight lead changes taking place. Neither team was able to extend a lead past three points until Western's Amanda Walker hit a triple in the final minute to give the Westerwinds a 26-21 advantage at the break.
Valpo shot just 32% in the first stanza but stayed in the game with seven offensive rebounds and held a 15-14 edge at intermission on the boards.
The Westerwinds scored the first five points of the second half to increase their lead to ten just two minutes in. A three-pointer by Jamie Gutowski (Crown Point, Ind./Andrean H.S.) helped Valpo close to within 35-30 with 11:21 to play. Valpo cut the lead to three, 43-40, at the 4:44 mark as Tamra Braun (Savage, Minn./Prior Lake H.S.) scored down low.
The Crusaders could get no closer though as the Westerwinds scored the next six points keyed by two Valpo turnovers and two missed shots.
The Westerwinds made free throws down the stretch to secure the victory, finishing the game a perfect 9-of-9 from the line.
In the second half it was Western Illinois (18-4, 10-2 Mid-Con) getting to the glass, grabbing six offensive boards and outboarding the Crusaders 16-7. The Westerwinds finished shooting 48.8% from the floor as well for the game.
Braun led the Crusaders with 13 points and eight rebounds while Betsy Rietema (Grand Rapids, Mich./Christian H.S.) added seven points.
Zane Teilane led all scorers with 17 points while grabbing seven rebounds. Samantha Greer added ten points.
Valparaiso (14-9, 8-4) will have a week off before returning to the hardwood next Saturday afternoon for Senior Day at the ARC. Tip-off against Chicago State is set for 2:05 p.m. with all the action being broadcast live on WVUR (95.1-FM, Valparaiso) and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Mon Apr 5, 2010 8:26 pmBengals OG Jason Shirley may be lost for the year after suffering what's believed to be a torn Achilles' tendon during spring workouts.
Fantasy Source Spin: Shirley, whose transition from defensive tackle to offensive guard was profiled closely on last year's edition of HBO's Hard Knocks, was injured during a charity basketball game. He was going to be on the roster bubble anyway.
Source: bengals.com
Tue Mar 30, 2010 1:18 pmBucs WLB Geno Hayes (labrum surgery) is fully expected to be ready for training camp this summer.
Fantasy Source Spin: GM Mark Dominik's prediction that Hayes would be ready for mandatory minicamp in June still appears to be optimistic, but the rising starter will be ready for contact by August.
Source: St. Petersburg Times
Tue Mar 23, 2010 7:26 pmRaiders re-signed restricted free agent FB Luke Lawton to a one-year, $1.101 million contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Lawton was tendered at the low level earlier in the month, but no other team showed interest with a two-game suspension looming at the start of the season. Lawton won't be guaranteed a roster spot if the Raiders can manage an upgrade this offseason.
Thu Mar 4, 2010 4:35 pmChargers LB Kevin Burnett has undergone offseason neck surgery.
Fantasy Source Spin: The team's press release says Burnett will be out 3-5 months but gives no details on the procedure or the date of the surgery. The recovery timetable should have him back on the field in time for training camp.

Mon Mar 1, 2010 3:56 pmCharges of simple assault and resisting arrest against Steelers K Jeff Reed stemming from an October 18, 2009 incident were thrown out in a Pennsylvania court on Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Two more charges (disorderly conduct, public drunkenness) remain. The Steelers showed they weren't concerned about the arrest by giving Reed the franchise tag late last week. He will make $2.814 million in 2010.
Source: Associated Press
Thu Feb 18, 2010 1:21 pmRedskins DE Jeremy Jarmon (ACL surgery) expects to be ready for training camp this summer.
Fantasy Source Spin: Jarmon sustained the injury in late November, so he's no lock to be fully recovered by August. The Redskins forfeited a 2010 third-rounder to grab Jarmon in the supplemental draft. Less than a year later, he's a man without a position in the team's new 3-4 defense. Chances are he'll have to switch to outside linebacker.
Source: Washington Post
Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:32 pmBroncos OLB/DE Darrell Reid will reportedly miss training camp after undergoing surgery on his left knee last week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Reid underwent a cutting edge procedure called an "articular allograft cartilage transplant" to repair connective tissue damage in his knee. It's an alternative to microfracture surgery. "I had the surgery because I have a significant hole in the cartilage in my knee," explained Reid. An important special teamer and rotational defender, Reid's timetable for recovery is six to eight months. He'll be a candidate for the PUP list to start the season.

Tue Jan 5, 2010 1:31 pmRams OG Roger Allen suffered a torn ACL during the season finale.
Fantasy Source Spin: An undrafted rookie out of Missouri Western State, Allen was a fringe player forced into action with Jacob Bell and Mark Setterstrom injured and Richie Incognito banished to Buffalo. Allen will need to "pre-hab" for a month before undergoing surgery. He isn't going to play next season.

Tue Dec 29, 2009 7:17 pmThe AFC North champion Cincinnati Bengals were shut out of the Pro Bowl altogether.
Fantasy Source Spin: Leon Hall was flat-out robbed, and fellow cornerback Jonathan Joseph had a strong argument as well. Cedric Benson faced tough competition at running back, with Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, and Maurice Jones-Drew all deserving their nods. Dhani Jones was a longshot at middle linebacker.
Mon Sep 7, 2009 11:16 amSteelers signed S Tuff Harris to their practice squad.
Fantasy Source Spin: Harris, released over the weekend, played in six games with the Titans last season.

Feely is a guy with a big leg who, outside of '11, has been accurate throughout his career. The problem has been the Cardinals offense not producing enough chances for him. While that latter issue might improve this year, the Cardinals have brought in ex-Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter to compete with Feely. That's not a good sign since they're already two weeks into training camp.
Fantasy Source Spin: Neither kicker would be a great option on draft day, but the winner of the competition would be a bye-week option.

Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:23 pm
A rookie out of Stanford, Taylor has recorded 84 yards on 26 carries so far in the preseason, which comes out to a 3.23 YPC. Those totals aren't exciting, but with Williams' injury woes, it may be enough to earn him backup duties behind Mendenhall.
Fantasy Source Spin: Given that Mendenhall's health is anything but certain, Taylor would be worth monitoring as a handcuff if he wins the backup job. Also keep an eye on fellow rookie Andre Ellington out of Clemson, who is more of a boom-or-bust runner than Taylor.
Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:20 pm
Peterson racked up seven interceptions in '12, his second in the NFL. That was good for fourth in the league.
Fantasy Source Spin: As a corner, Peterson will need plenty of interceptions (and hopefully a touchdown or two) to keep up with safeties who rack up far more tackles. That limits Peterson's IDP value and needs to be factored in on draft day.
Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:20 pm
The No. 45 pick of the '13 draft out of LSU, Minter should be the starter at inside linebacker with Washington serving a suspension for the first four games.
Fantasy Source Spin: Minter's spot beyond that point isn't assured, but the rookie could make a nice IDP flier for the first quarter of the season.
Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:18 pm
Washington finished fourth in total tackles last year among linebackers and an interception and two forced fumbles. Unfortunately, Washington has been suspended for the first four games of the season for violations of the league's substance abuse policy.
Fantasy Source Spin: The suspension knocks him down IDP draft boards, though he should be a very solid contributor upon his return.
Mon Jul 21, 2014 8:43 am
ESPN Cardinals reporter Josh Weinfuss believes Andre Ellington will get the call in short-yardage on a "few occasions."
Fantasy Source Spin: Weinfuss is actually optimistic on Ellington's short-yardage ability, saying the 199-pounder is "capable" of being a "workhorse" there. We're not sure we agree, but more importantly we don't think Bruce Arians agrees. One way the Cardinals can lessen Ellington's workload while still keeping him as a feature back is by giving big backs Jonathan Dwyer and Stepfan Taylor the short-yardage work. How Arians handles goal-line packages will be worth watching closely at camp.

Mon Jul 21, 2014 8:25 am
ESPN Bengals reporter Coley Harvey thinks Jeremy Hill will "certainly" break out this season.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Bengals wasted no time installing Hill as their power complement to Giovani Bernard, moving the second-round rookie ahead of BenJarvus Green-Ellis at the beginning of the offseason program. He's going to get plenty of work as new OC Hue Jackson attempts to implement a Seahawks or 49ers-esque kind of scheme. Hill's ADP is currently in the Round 9-11 range, but that will rise sharply if BJGE can't beat out Rex Burkhead for a roster spot.
Sun Jul 20, 2014 4:22 pm
Chiefs fourth-round pick De'Anthony Thomas has spent more time learning the playbook with RBs coach Eric Bienemy than WRs coach David Culley.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's just the latest indication that the Chiefs view Thomas' primary NFL position as tailback. At 5-foot-9, 174 with elite speed, Thomas could be used like Dexter McCluster was in K.C.
Source: Terez Paylor on Twitter
Sun Jul 20, 2014 2:55 pm
According to the Seattle Times, Christine Michael's work at spring practices "did nothing to quell the idea he will get regular carries this season."
Fantasy Source Spin: C-Mike saw increased first-team practice reps with Marshawn Lynch holding out. The Times believes Michael has "a chance to earn a much larger role this season," which would come at Lynch's expense. Michael is still no more than a handcuff pick in fantasy leagues, albeit one with a ton of upside if Lynch broke down. Lynch is 28 years old with 1,002 carries over his last three seasons.

Thu Jun 26, 2014 1:19 pm
Second-year WR Marlon Brown is the "favorite" to open the season as the Ravens' No. 3 receiver.
Fantasy Source Spin: Undrafted out of Georgia, Brown tied a rookie franchise record with seven TDs last season, catching 49 passes for 524 yards. New Ravens OC Gary Kubiak made light use of No. 3 wideouts in Houston, preferring to lean on two-tight end sets. We expect the same concepts in Baltimore, but still wouldn't rule out re-draft value for Brown at some point. He's behind 35-year-old Steve Smith. Now is the time for fantasy owners to acquire Brown in Dynasty leagues.

#25/RV Butler at Valparaiso Men's Basketball Game Notes
Related Links
Friday, January 02, 2009
The Matchup: The 2009 calendar year kicks off today for the
Crusaders as they host their most common all-time opponent and in-state
rival #25/RV Butler. This marks the third straight season that the
Bulldogs have been ranked when they have visited the ARC.
Back on the Homefront: A return to the ARC was just what the
doctor ordered for the Crusaders. Prior to this week, Valpo had played
just one game out of its last ten contests on its home court. After
Tuesday's win, the Crusaders are 3-1 in their four contests on the
hardwood of the Athletics-Recreation Center, improving their home
record at the ARC since the start of the 1993-94 campaign to a robust
165-32 (.838).
Postseason Trips: Valparaiso's trip to the inaugural College
Basketball Invitational last season was its first postseason berth
since the 2003-2004 campaign and extended an impressive streak. 16
consecutive classes of Crusader basketball players have experienced at
least one postseason tournament.

Editor, The Ada News:
I would like to take a moment to say "thank you." These two simple words don't seem to express the gratitude I feel. I don't think there are any words that ever could. In the days and weeks since the devastating house fire that took my family's home as well as all of our possessions, the outpouring of help, love, and generosity has been overwhelming. It was in this, our darkest hour, that beacons of light began to appear. As I said before, there are no words to express how blessed we are to have so many wonderful people in our lives. My family would like to sincerely thank every one who has given money, food, furniture, clothing, personal items, bedding, toys, prayers, thoughts, and hugs! Everything is helping us to begin again, and is much appreciated.
The following people have touched our lives in immeasurable ways. The American Red Cross, Mike Wood, Homer Elementary counselor; Vicki Wilson, Homer Elementary principal; Janna Davis, Homer Elementary principal; Jana Webb, Byng Jr. High counselor; Kevin Wilson, Byng Jr. High principal; Homer Elementary and Byng Jr. High parents, students, and faculty; The Byng Band Boosters, all my friends and extended family at LegalShield (previously known as Pre-Paid Legal Service) especially those in the support services department (formerly membership administration). Melissa Rollins, Rita Harris, Mary Haupt, Holly Donaghey and family; Paula and Keith McDonald, Dorothy and Billy Flowers, Judy and Rex Blackburn, Angela and Bill Wood, Connie Ragland, Lana Smith, Sara McElwee and family; Deb Shultz, Katie Dobbs, Kim Harris and family, Abby and Richard Barron, Diana and Larry McClellan, Dave Herriman and family, Linda Harris. Stephanie Fletcher and family, Joe and Amber Brooks, Geraldine Anderson, June Duck, Phyllis Duck, Crystal Miller and family; Connie Coronado and family; Roger and Elida Young; Gamaliel Gutierrex, Eric and Stacie Young, Donna Allison, Brenda Blankenship, Holly Murphy, Linda and Scott Rinehart, Donna Birdwell, Ruby Tibbs and family, Jeanine Teel, Sharon Keeling. Beverly Rinehart, Naomi Cathey, Harmony Baptist Church, Fittstown Church of Christ, Stonewall Freewill Baptist Church, and the numerous others I know I am forgetting.
It is through this tragedy that I have realized how much God has blessed me. I am thankful everyday for His unyielding strength and love. As my family and I continue to rebuild our lives, I know that through Him all things are possible!
We are eternally grateful to all.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame will dedicate the Ralph Wilson Jr. Pro Football Research and Preservation Center next Friday morning as part of its induction weekend.
Wilson donated $2.5 million to the Hall of Fame to construct the 10,000-square-foot facility. He and his wife are scheduled to be in Canton for the ribbon-cutting ceremony along with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"Ralph Wilson's outstanding contributions to pro football over many decades are legendary," Steve Perry, Hall of Fame president and executive director, said in a news release. "His generous gift has greatly enhanced our ability to preserve the Hall of Fame's rapidly growing collection of historic documents and artifacts."
The Wilson Research and Preservation Center will house more than 20 million document pages and 3 million photographs from the Hall of Fame's collection. It will include a rare-books room, a researcher's reading room and a video-conferencing lab to connect schools around the country to the Hall of Fame's resources.

"Columbia is just the right size. There's plenty to do, yet it's not so big that it overwhelms you. I think Columbia is a great city and a great college town all in one. It's hard to beat that. A lot of players like to make Columbia their home once they finish their college career. I know I did."
