Darren Sproles broke the single-season record for most all-purpose yards, Jimmy Graham temporarily set the record for most receiving yards by a tight end and Drew Brees pushed his passing-yardage record to even greater heights as the New Orleans Saints beat the Carolina Panthers 45-17 on Sunday. The win, though, proved somewhat empty as the Saints were unable to move past the San Francisco 49ers, who also won, for the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
The playoff situation aside, it was a spectacular day for the Saints. Brees threw for 389 yards and five touchdowns, giving him 5,476 passing yards for the season and 46 touchdown passes. Brees had already passed Dan Marino for the single-season yardage record last week and his five touchdown passes gave him one more than Aaron Rodgers for the NFL lead. Brees' touchdown total was the fourth highest in NFL history.
Sproles' 168 all-purpose yards pushed him just beyond Derrick Mason's record that was set in 2000. Sproles also scored a touchdown in the game.
Although Graham picked up enough yards to break Kellen Winslow's single-season record, that one was short-lived. Graham picked up 97 yards to give him 1,310 for the season, but New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski finished his game with 1,327 after playing significant minutes long after the final result had been decided.
The Saints will head into the playoffs as the No. 3 seed in the NFC. They will host whoever ends up with the No. 6 seed.

Welcome to our JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes team page for Team Jered!
Jered was taken from us 9 years ago this June by complications with Type 1, he suffered with Type 1 for 7 years. We're helping JDRF create a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D) where no one has to fear developing this serious autoimmune disease. By joining our Walk to Cure Diabetes team and/or making a donation to JDRF, you can be part of the effort to improve the lives of millions of people affected by T1D. In T1D, a person's pancreas stops producing insulin, which is essential to the body's ability to get energy from food. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and is unrelated to diet or lifestyle. Managing T1D requires constant carbohydrate counting, blood-glucose testing, and lifelong dependence on insulin. With T1D there are no days off, and there is no cure.JDRF is the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. Every donation, big or small, from donors like you, allows JDRF to fund the critical research needed to find a cure. Will you accept the challenge to make a difference in your community by joining us? Just click "Join This Team" to become a team member and start fundraising.

iKeyboard Kickstarter project claims to make touch typing on the iPad a reality [video]
The iKeyboard is an interesting Kickstarter Project that aims to address an often complained about problem with any iPad. The on-screen keyboard is great for simple text input however if you have something longer to type up, it can become very awkward and uncomfortable to use. This is where iKeyboard comes in and hopes to address these issues and offer the ability to touch type on the iPad. .
The iKeyboard sits on top of the iPad's virtual keyboard without adding much to the weight or physical size. It claims to allow you to touch type, but more importantly, not have to suspend your hands above the screen; which is anything but comfortable and often painful after prolonged text input. The iKeyboard requires the same force and travel distance to register a key press as the current Apple keyboard.
The accessory is in a working prototype stage at the moment and its claimed that it works pretty well and the highest hurdles have been jumped. As this is a Kickstarter project, the aim is to get funding to take the prototype to the next level and start production. To do this, the iKeyboard needs investment pledges which were originally set at $4000. As of today, it has received over $5000 with some 46 days left to go. It seems to be proving very popular!
Have a look at the video after the break the let us know what you think of the iKeyboard? Can you see yourself using an accessory like this? Let us know in the comments!
There are 27 comments. Add yours.
Looks Promising. I wonder if your fingers would still feel too scrunched though since the keys are so close together. I'd give it a try.
I think saying that touch typing on the iPad is impossible is a huge exaggeration. Sure it requires some getting used too. But I find it no trouble at all. I type all my school notes and assignments on my iPad and I barely have to look at the screen when I type anymore. I can probably type faster on the iPad then on my MacBook because all I have to do is move my fingers, my hands rest on the edge.
So touch typing on the iPad isn't "impossible" I feel like some people just haven't given it enough of a chance.
Agreed; it's what I use to take notes and I have no problem at all. Everynow and then an incorrect autocorrect will trip me up though.
I didn't notice anyone say it was impossible, they just said it was horrible.
There is a difference.
Looks very useful
Looks interesting, and if not useful, at least fun to try. I think I was won over by the smooth country music.
Isn't it weird that the iPad has this awesome gesture based and sensor aware interface for many things, but when it comes time to enter data, it falls back to traditional keyboarding?
Has anyone had much luck with OCR type things like Microsoft's OneNote?
That being said, I'd probably give this device a try if I knew there specific times I'd need to do a lot of typing.
I have no problem typing on the ipad. Granted I only type an occasional email with it and not a 30 page report, which I am sure would be a problem.
But I would really like to see some type of keyboard for the iphone!
bluetooth keyboard
Looks awesome.
I'm very interested. Let's see what the price turns out to be.
It's amusing that when everybody was saying that typing text on a iPad was a hassle, fanboys from everywhere rushed out to say that it was great, perfect, magical, etc. Now that a device is coming out to fix it, suddenly almost everybody agrees that it indeed was a hassle.
Looks very interesting. Man, Kickstarter projects are pledging some serious money right now!
lol leaving your brain free to create? wtf, if i'm typing something then I want to be concentrating and focusing on what i'm doing, isn't that a give lol what does my brain need to be creating as they put it.
What about portrait. Does it have accelerometer.
kids, get used to the glass keyboard...looks like a waste of time/money/effort. change is good! :-)
Blanketly saying "change is good" is pretty idiotic. If you got hit by a bus today, that would be a change.
Come on George, of course "any" change in ANY context might be bad. Since we're talking "keyboard", my sole reference is about this additional device. the change references less parts, a new way of typing. without this type of change, we would all still be using manual typewriters...which by the way, are no longer produced. Free yourself of the conventional thinking and embrace the technology. thanks for reading.
It's ok. I haven't watched the video. But I would have to say I don't have a need for it.I like to be able to walk around without a bag of accessories. I wonder if they are using the built in magnets to keep it in place.
Since no one else has said it yet, obligatory "This changes everything!"
Also, should ask if they'll develop their own stylus to sell along with it!
I don't have any problem typing on the iPad keyboard either - in fact, I'm just as fast and accurate with it as with the Apple Bluetooth keyboard that I use with my iMac. For me, this is a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist.
"if you have something longer to type up, it can become very awkward and uncomfortable to use.'
I completely disagree with this statement. Sorry, Chris. i find the more you use the onscreen keyboard, the easier and more comfortable it gets, and it's actually less of a strain than a physical keyboard.
Damn! I wish I had thought of this! Deff want.
Sounds great. Now apple will want to join the fun and create their own.
I will buy this, i use my iPad for taking notes at school all the time and i am constantly looking back and forth from the teacher and the iPad to make sure i got it all. I want and NEED this.
Ok... looks like a solution in search of a problem. There is already a nice accessory keyboard for the iPad and it does not hide half the screen like this one does.

---- — I've seen many deer crossing the road in the evening or feeding in the fields near our cottage, but I rarely see a buck with a big rack.
Once at the Grand Canyon, a moose with huge antlers stepped out of the trees near our car — a breathtaking moment. There's something utterly magnificent about all that headdress. I guess that's why a crown or a bishop's mitre or a top hat have been symbols of power. It's partly the height, partly the elegance of design.
Connie Wanek knows whereof she speaks when it comes to bucks. She lives in the country outside Duluth, Minn., but, she says, she often finds herself in a green tent somewhere in the Boundary Waters wilderness. In this poem, the speaker is watching the buck from her window. The ground's frozen. It's the first day of hunting season. Here comes this buck, up close. Wanek writes, "the closer you get to what you fear / the safer you are." I think about that, how true it is in so many cases. We want to keep track of the trouble.
He's clearly been a "king" among deer, considering his huge rack. The speaker speculates, "Had he been a good king? / I doubt it." Who with that rack, that power, wouldn't abuse it? But she figures he also achieved a lot through sheer intimidation.
What I like about Wanek's poetry in general is her solid connection with the natural world. You're pretty sure she's been up-close to creatures like this. And also, her way of giving us a line or two that opens up the scene to something a lot bigger. Poet Maxine Kumin says about about Wanek's poems, "They take us in and lift our neck hairs with the unexpected aptness of her metaphors." Former U.S. poet laureate Ted Kooser calls them "incomparably lovely, wholly original."
The last two lines of this poem are, for me, a perfect example of her skill. How hard are facts in the middle of changing? Darn hard. No one likes to change. Change is hard. We want things to be the way they've "always" been. We have trouble changing our minds, our presidents, our laws, our vision of what American is now — I could go on and on. So this grand buck is changing: limping, his antlers rotten at the base.
Who sees this as hard, though? Not the buck, it seems. It's the speaker who says this. She's the one who calls this "hard" — the necessity to see that things change, to allow for change.
Connie Wanek has won the Willow Poetry Prize and the Jane Kenyon Poetry Prize. She was named a Witter Bynner Fellow of the Library of Congress by United States Poet Laureate Ted Kooser. This is her third collection of poems.

RALEIGH — Lorenzo Browns mood matched his black jersey on Sunday.
Yes, N.C. State did end up beating Clemson 66-62 with a late surge from senior Richard Howell and free throws by senior Scott Wood.
Still, Brown said, there was something amiss even in victory.
We didnt play our best, Im not very excited about that, Brown said. I mean, who would (be)?
Clemson (10-7, 2-3 ACC) almost was. Forward Devin Booker, a senior, poured in a career-best 27 points, and guard Rod Hall had 16 points, including five straight to even the game at 54 with 3:37 to play.
But Howell scored N.C. States next six points of the game, including a three-point play with 1:56 to put N.C. State up for good, 60-57.
Wood made five of six free throws in the final 27.9 seconds to provide the winning margin for the Wolfpack (15-3), which improved to 4-1 in the ACC.
Still, there was an air of dissatisfaction after the game. Brown said he was upset. Howell, who was guarding Booker most of the game, was surprised at just how big of a game Booker had.
Man, I didnt know he had 27, geez, said Howell, who finished with 11 points and 12 rebounds of his own. Thats a good game by him, but we definitely need to pick it up on the defensive end.
It was Brown who stole the ball from Hall on an inbounds pass with 5.5 seconds left to prevent any last-second theatrics from the Tigers.
Brown finished with a respectable final line six points, seven rebounds and five assists but it wasnt enough.
Its always about a win, but at the same time, we can do better than that, Brown said.
N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried, who turned 49 on Sunday, bottom-lined the win.
Part of being in a league like this, you have to grind some out, Gottfried said. Its not always going to be glamorous, you just got to find a way to keep winning.
N.C. State had led by nine early in the second half, with freshman forward T.J. Warren (21 points) as its main source of offense.
But Brown, forward C.J. Leslie (six points) and Wood (11) couldnt quite find a rhythm against Clemsons defense. The Pack scored a season-low 50 points in Wednesdays loss at Maryland.
Brown called it a slump, but Gottfried was more philosophical.
Its hard to stay at a high, high level offensively all the time, every night, Gottfried said. On those nights, youve got to find a way to win.
Decked out in black jerseys for just the third time in school history, N.C. State started quickly, scoring the first 10 points of the game. With three 3-pointers from freshman guard Rodney Purvis, State led by as many as 11 in the first half and was up by 10, 28-18 with 4 minutes left in the first half.
Thats when Booker took over for Clemson. He had 18 points in the first half and was practically all of Clemsons offense. Booker shot 9 of 12 in the first half and the rest of Clemsons lineup was 3 of 24.
Hall and Milton Jennings (nine points, eight rebounds, four assists) picked up their production in the second half, but not enough to offset Howells clutch points.
Howell wasnt as down about the win as Brown, but he said theres room for improvement.
We definitely did some good things to win the ballgame, but also we did some bad things to keep them in the ballgame, Howell said. I feel like thats what we need to focus on and get it right the next game.

Legislators are discussing the idea of a City of DeKalb that would be created out of all the unincorporated areas of DeKalb County.
State Sen. Gloria Butler, D-Stone Mountain, will chair a Senate study committee on the incorporation of the city of DeKalb, according to Neighbor Newspapers.
Her office said the other committee members are Sens. Steve Henson, Gail Davenport, Emanuel Jones, Jason Carter, Ronald Ramsey and Fran Millar.
From the story:
Butler will be joined by a group of seven committee members, consisting of fellow legislators and local officials from DeKalb County.
"Throughout the committee process, it is important to remember that the people who live in our cities and counties share an underlying love for their community," said Butler. "That resource alone needs to be heavily considered when deciding the future of local municipalities. I'm honored that the lieutenant governor has selected me to serve as chair of this committee, and look forward to hearing feedback from the people of DeKalb County."
Creating a City of DeKalb has been discussed for years, but the idea has taken on a new urgency recently. The creation of Brookhaven and Dunwoody reduced the county's tax base and the City of Decatur is talking about annexing land into the city.
Also, here are some recent stories on incorporation/annexation efforts.

This regular column is for Dungeon Masters who like to build worlds and campaigns as much as I do. Here I share my experiences as a DM through the lens of Iomandra, my Dungeons & Dragons campaign world. Even though the campaign uses the 4th Edition rules, the topics covered here often transcend editions. Hopefully this series of articles will give you inspiration, ideas, and awesome new ways to menace your players in your home campaigns.
If you're interested in learning more about the world of Iomandra, check out the wiki.
MONDAY NIGHT. Jeremy Crawford plays Alex von Hyden, a respected wizard who carries within him the spirit of an ancient dragon sorcerer. Peter Schaefer plays a greedy halfling rogue named Oleander, who commands a vast network of spies. Whenever the party is beset by indecision, it's usually Alex or Oleander who pushes the group in a particular direction. Whenever the party faces a new threat, it's usually Alex or Oleander who steers the party's response. Whenever a roleplaying opportunity arises, it's usually one or the other who drives the conversation. Alex and Oleander are actively engaged in the politics of the Dragovar Empire, and their fortunes are tied to the empire's ultimate fate, whereas most of the other characters have no such connection or interest.
When neither Alex nor Oleander is present, things get weirdly interesting, as happened this week when both Jeremy and Peter were absent. Suddenly, player characters accustomed to supporting roles were thrust into the limelight — and into an awkward roleplaying situation for which they were sorely underequipped.
The previous session had ended with the party crashing a dragonborn masquerade. The time had come to confront several nobles guilty of conspiring to overthrow the Dragovar government, and both Alex and Oleander had ideas about how to proceed. With neither character present, the torch got passed to the party's quintet of uncouth halfwits (played with great aplomb by Matt Sernett, Nick DiPetrillo, Jeff Alvarez, Shawn Blakeney, and Stan!). They tried using hats of disguise to pass themselves off as agents of the Vost Miraj, the imperial spy agency. However, when their accusations were adroitly deflected back at them, they did what you'd expect them to do. They dropped the charade, gave up the war of words, and turned the masquerade into a bloodbath.
his past Monday night reminded me of one of those episodes of The X-Files where FBI agents Mulder and Scully are, for the most part, completely absent, and instead we get a whole hour of the Lone Gunmen and their wacky hijinks. When the characters who usually drive the plot aren't around, what's a DM to do? Cancel the game? I think not.
Although I try to shine the spotlight on every player character in my campaign, the truth is that not all PCs get equal "screen time." Certain characters become more prominent and crucial to the unfolding story than others. In this respect, the PCs in my campaign are a lot like the adventuring company in The Hobbit, which contains both "lead" characters and supporting characters. Imagine The Hobbit without Bilbo, Thorin, or Gandalf. In the absence of these "leads," the story begins to lose its relevance and impact.
As a D&D campaign unfolds, it gradually becomes clear which PCs are core to the campaign and which ones are tangential. Sometimes the campaign will shift focus in a way that elevates a supporting character to lead status or turns a lead character into a supporting one. This can also happen when a new player joins the group or when a player leaves. Either event can change the party dynamic.
Recently, I started watching The West Wing — a show I'd put off for years because I was too busy to allow myself to watch it. The show was supposed to revolve around various members of the presidential staff, in particular the character of Sam Seaborn (a speechwriter played by Rob Lowe). The show's creator, Aaron Sorkin, envisioned that the President would play only a minor role. However, as the series developed, President Jed Bartlet (played by Martin Sheen) became the central character, and Sam Seaborn became ancillary until he was eventually written out altogether. The show's other supporting characters are given more-or-less equal attention, moving in and out of the spotlight on a week-to-week basis, but there's no question that Bartlet is the heart of the show. It's no coincidence that the series ends with him leaving office at the end of his second term.
An ensemble TV show features a combination of lead characters and supporting characters. Offhand, I can't think of any show with a large central cast whose characters carry equal weight and relevance; not everyone can play Jean-Luc Picard or Spartacus or King Henry VIII. Your typical D&D campaign is similar in this respect: there are both lead characters without whom the campaign would lose much of its dramatic oomph, and supporting characters without whom the party would be "bland and undermanned."
'Tis the season for awards shows, the Oscars being foremost among them. Were you to hand out nominations for Best Supporting Character in your home campaign, which of your PCs would qualify?
As with characters in episodic TV shows, a D&D character's importance is determined largely by its connection to the story and, to an equally large extent, by the personality of the player portraying it. Players who want their characters to be the fulcrum of the campaign tend to spend more time fleshing out their backgrounds and chasing quests that contribute to their characters' development. Players who don't mind supporting roles tend to be less interested in character development and more interested in having fun at the game table. They see their characters as important contributors to the party, but not necessarily drivers of the story.
The distinction between lead characters and supporting characters is an academic one. While I'm DMing at the game table, I'm too busy to care about such differentiation, and in play, I'm more interested in keeping all of my players entertained. It's something I'm more apt to think about between sessions, when I'm deconstructing the campaign. Which characters are monumentally important to the campaign's survival? Which characters have become peripheral, and to what extent are my players okay with that? I'll talk to my players and solicit their opinions. They like to reflect on the campaign, imagine what might happen next, and talk about what their characters (or the party as a whole) should try to accomplish. It's these sorts of between-session discussions that led to my realization that there are these two kinds of characters in the party.
Here's a question that you, the DM, might try asking your players at some point during your campaign (if you haven't done so already): Do you see your character as more of a "plot driver" or a "supporting character"? I think it's a fair question to ask, and you'll probably get some thought-provoking answers. Also, it's not a loaded question; there isn't a "wrong" answer. In fact, there's nothing wrong with choosing to play a supporting character. I, for one, prefer the supporting character role when I'm not behind the DM screen. As a player, I find it less of a burden. It lets me to do something I'm rarely inclined to do as a DM: relinquish control. When a player tells me that he envisions his current character as more of a "supporting character," I don't need to spend an inordinate amount of time thinking of ways to make the character more pivotal to the plot, or the plot more connected to the character.
The truth is, many players are comfortable letting other party members drive the story (for the most part), and it's not the DM's job to push players outside of their comfort zones. While it's satisfying to play a character instrumental to the campaign, some player characters would rather steal the spotlight occasionally than have it shining on them constantly. Besides that, if you look at any ensemble TV show, it's usually the supporting characters that are the most fun to watch and have all the best lines!
Lastly, it's important to remember that your campaign can survive without its leads, at least for a session or two, particularly if you have players who don't mind "stepping up" when the usual plot-drivers are absent. It worked out well in my Monday night game, but don't think for one minute I'm ready to throw my leads by the wayside. After all, the Lone Gunmen worked great as supporting characters on The X-Files, but their spinoff show tanked. I wouldn't want my campaign to suffer the same fate.
Until the next encounter!
—Dungeon Master for Life, Chris Perkins

Eddie Vedder rejected Mitt Romney's recent characterization of 47 percent of Americans as people who see themselves as victims who don't pay income taxes. "It's very upsetting to hear a presidential candidate be so easily dismissive of such a ginormous amount of the population," Vedder said yesterday at a fundraiser for President Obama in Tampa, Florida, according to a pool report passed along by The Hollywood Reporter.
Vedder, who played a short set for Obama at the home of singer-songwriter Don Miggs and Lisa DeBartolo (daughter of former San Francisco 49ers owenr Eddie DeBartolo Jr.), shared his own story of how government programs helped him.
"I'm an example of someone who never made it to university," Vedder told the small crowd. "I did have this dream to be a musician. I felt that this dream had an expiration date."
Vedder went on to recall signing up for a government security guard training program, which led to a midnight shift and position as security supervisor at a petroleum company.
"It was that job which allowed me to keep affording to guitars and microphones," the Pearl Jam frontman said. "For me, it all began with that ability to get the proper training for a decent job."
Vedder then introduced President Obama, who thanked the musician. "For you to share that story with us, Eddie, speaks volumes not only about you but about this country," Obama said. "That story captures better than anything what this campaign is about and what this country is about."
Vedder's four-song set on mandolin comprised "Rise," "Without You," a cover of James Taylor's "Millworker" and Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World."
"I can't say I've ever played that many songs in a suit before," Vedder said to the 85 guests, who paid $20,000 each for the dinner event.

Actually I'm in Geneva Switzerland next to France 80% of our border!!
The main problems I see is those country (uk, France, US etc) is that you have to choose between 2 dognes only
Left or right !!!!
Giving all protection to rich's and famous is a huge mistake like Sarko and taxing up to 75% the revenue over 150'000 $ a years is a great mistake too like Hollande want
In Switzerland we have a systeme that is more into consensus with a good social programm and still a acceptable taxe system for all. No army ready to attack but just defense (no army would be better)
We are not perfect but a good social system, 3% unumployment, freedom of speech, no strikes and fair revenues (work convention)
Small countries but ......
I agree Eric. Switzerland should be a role model for the rest of us. Politicians seem to have lost the art of compromise. When I was in the collectible poster business, we often traded posters with other dealers - and we used to say that you knew it was a good trade if you both walked away equally unhappy. I think politics should follow that philosophy. It's better to find a middle ground than to do nothing because you try to be all one way or the other.
Hi Eric, for some reason I thought you were in France. ooops.
Yah, i hear Switzerland has it together.
I imagine it must be easier in some ways for smaller countries to build concensus possibly due to the realization that if you let your country get out of control -- like we did -- it is too hard to pick up the pieces and repair the damage.
I find it ludicrous that so many people in our country on the left and on the right appear to prefer our country go down the drain rather than to compromise.
These folks have taken a personal stance that their ideology is the only "good American" way to be so they have convinced themselves that they are standing up "for the good of the country". It is impossible to make them see that "standing up" for what they believe in is all about them, not about our country.
Those who really care about this country know that all sides have to give up something in order for good policies to go forward.
ok. I deactivated my FaceBook account because I was spending too much time on this very subject, so I am going to shut up. Starting........ NOW!
To change the subject Robin I'm from Geneva leaved in Oregon for about 10 years, worked in Paris and somes diverses city in Switzerland (still)
I love American people like you guys, my son leave in Hawaii and my daughter in Geneva, Jane is from South Africa well great cultural exchange
Hey Eric. It is so cool to learn more about the people here. Thanks for telling me. Almost everyone I know is a world traveler or has lived in various parts of the world. Except myself. I am a California girl, born and raised in Southern CA and lived all my adult life in the San Francisco Bay Area. I feel like a dinosaur. I did make it to one fair city on your continent -- Prague. My son lived there for 5 years and I visited him twice. I went nuts over the gothic architecture.
I get a vicarious thrill from listening to all the stories from Alvin's fans here on this board. I am so glad I found it.
Very happy for you
Come to Geneva visit us maybe Alvin will be around

"Normally he would have been in school," Copeland said.
She said Lang did see the crime take place, but had nothing to do with it, despite what many people have said. She would not go into detail, just said he was only an eyewitness.
"That's the only role he would have," Copeland said. "He didn't participate. He didn't approach. He did not request anything from the victim. He did not shoot anyone. So he didn't participate."
Copeland said she's filing several motions to get the charges against her client dropped.

Wellesley, Mass. - October 11, 2011 - The Springfield College women's volleyball team lost for the first time in the 2011 season as it fell on the road at Wellesley in four sets on Tuesday evening. The Blue upset the Pride by the scores of 25-15, 25-22, 22-25, 25-20.
The Pride entered the match with a 21-match winning streak, which was tied for the longest in program history, having previously happened in 2003.
The win improved Wellesley to 15-6 overall with a 5-1 mark in NEWMAC play.
Wellesley's Megan Mills had a fantastic day for the Blue, hitting .529 with 10 kills, while also picking up three blocks. Sydney Carfagno recorded a team-high 16 kills, while Caitlin Laughlin had seven kills and three blocks. Isabel Custodio paced the offense with 35 assists, while Traci Hamanaka had 22 digs.
Springfield was led by Lauren Torvi who hammered 16 kills while picking up three blocks. Tessa Smolinski paced the Pride with 12 kills, while Molly Giannattasio dished out 29 assists and added three blocks. Itza Nieves and Meaghan Hart totaled 17 and 14 digs to round out the box score for SC.
Wellesley opened a 7-1 advantage in set one, before the Pride trimmed the lead to 9-7. But Duritsch scored six straight at the service line to break the game open as Wellesley cruised to a 25-15 win.
Set two was a see-saw affair in the early going until Wellesley used two mini-runs to open a 17-14 lead. Springfield tightened the game with a pair of points, but after an exchange of sideouts Wellesley's Carfagno finished the set with three service points to give the Blue a 2-0 lead.
Springfield regrouped for the third set and opened a 12-6 lead at the halfway point. Wellesley responded with four straight, but a six-point run from Springfield's Whitney Miller gave the Pride an 18-11 advantage. The Blue rallied, cutting the lead to 22-20, but Springfield held on for the 25-22 win.
In the fourth and deciding set, Wellesley grabbed an early 8-5 lead. Springfield pulled to within one, at 12-11, but the Blue broke away for good with a four-point run from Hamanaka. The Pride surged in the closing points of the set, but a Springfield hitting error gave Wellesley the 25-20 win.
Springfield will now prep for the Golden Knights Volleyball Invitational hosted by Clarkson this upcoming Friday and Saturday.

King or Queen of the Day is an activity where each student gets a day to be the boss of what books are to be read that day. This is a great way to get students to choose favorite books, provide some ownership, and practice decision-making. All the while, the students are having fun because they know that they are in charge. Getting crowns, or having the student make one, is another piece that could make the activity that much more fun. The students could also have a "throne" where they sit when the stories are being read.

Prosecutors announced Tuesday that a Montgomery County father now faces a murder charge in the death of his 2-month-old baby.
Police had already arrested 28-year-old Edward J. Doyle, of Upper Moreland, in connection with the death of his daughter over the weekend.
Doyle told police he was out drinking, and when he came home, he heard his daughter crying. When he grabbed her out of swing-set, he says he tripped, fell on the baby and killed her. His wife was down the hall when it happened.
The murder charge was announced Tuesday after prosecutors received a medical examiner's ruling on the death.
Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman's office said at a morning news conference that investigators found multiple skull and rib fractures on the baby girl.
Doyle is now charged with third-degree murder, endangering the welfare of children and unsworn falsification.
Court documents indicate that Doyle has been denied bail and next faces a March 8 preliminary hearing.

Hey all,
Just wanted to gather some input from all of you regarding the 265-RTs and how they stack up against the "top of the line" 265-LS. Aside from a little wider frequency response (which likely would not be noticeable to the common joe), the ring radiator tweeter, and a different material used for the woofer, is there a huge noticeable different in sound?
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Another evening of basketball, another buzzer-beater.
We're getting to the good stuff right away on this post. Here's the very-last-second basket that lifted Lackawanna to a one-point win at Cleveland Hill Tuesday night:
I watched the replay more than a few times on my phone, which has better resolution than YouTube, and it looked like the basket was good with the tip-in coming with one-tenth of a second on the clock and before the buzzer. Unbelievable.
These buzzer-beaters are getting pretty amazing -- last Tuesday Canisius at TImon Canisius at Timon, Thursday Jamestown at Clarence, Saturday Grover Cleveland against St. Joe's at the MLK Classic.
Below is the post as it unfolded Tuesday night, with some additional videos added here later on ...
* * *
Hello from our second straight Tuesday of hopping around to basketball games with the iPhone.
I just got finished with my weekly pickup game, so I'm ready for action if any teams need me. Good thing WNY hoops is in good shape so nobody has to see that.
6:41 p.m. Our first stop is Cleveland Hill, which is hosting Lackawanna. Time for the National Anthem.
6:59 p.m. At the end of the first quarter, Cleveland Hill leads Lackawanna, 15-12. The Golden Eagles look good -- part of the reason I wanted to check out this game was Cleveland Hill's good start, which includes a win over Alden.
7:13 p.m. At halftime, Cleve Hill has a 31-27 lead. Steelers had a nice 13-4 run to end the quarter. I'm impressed by Cleve Hill's hustle and team ball.
I'm sticking around here for the second half since it's a close game. Other 7:30 games I might head to include Grand Island at Amherst on the way to Jamestown at Williamsville North. I was considering zipping in to the city to see the Canestro-less Nichols host Niagara Catholic if this game was out of hand, but I'm guessing by the time I got there the Vikings might be in complete control.
The gym here is bright -- our photographers would love it -- and it just has a great feel to it with the banners and signage on the walls. There's a excellent banner concerning fan behavior that I'm going to take a picture of -- I might even do a separate blog on it. It's a banner that should hang in every high school gym.
7:37 p.m. Cleve Hill still leads Lackawanna, 45-41, after the third quarter.
7:50 p.m. Lackawanna up, 52-50, with 3:17 left.
8:11 p.m. Damon Hall tipped the ball in with 0.1 seconds left (that's what it looks like on the iPhone) and Lackawanna wins, 60-59.
I'll get the video posted ASAP.
9:02 p.m. Hello from the home-office -- we made an executive decision to forgo any more stops during Tuesday Night Live in an effort to get all the great stuff from the Lackawanna-Cleveland Hill game on the Web and ready for Wednesday's paper as soon as possible.
9:39 p.m. I've posted the video.
* * *
I can only do one thing at once -- and for the second half I used my phone as a video camera, so I wasn't able to use it to access the blog and provide a lot of updates.
Here's some more videos and notes from what was a terrific game.
Cleve Hill began the fourth quarter with a 45-41 lead.
Andrew Gilliam with a nice finish on a drive that put Cleve Hill up, 49-43, the second of three times that it would own a six-point lead (50-44 would be the last).
Lackawanna's Christian Cheatom ties up the game at 50-50, the first tie since the opening tip. On the Steelers' next trip, Hall would hit two free throws to give the Steelers their first lead of the game, 52-50, with 3:17 left.
On a play I didn't catch because I was using the phone to update the blog, Ramadhan made a nice push and then found Jailyn Tompkins to tie the game at 52-52.
The rest of the game was a very enjoyable back-and-forth. A Hall free throw up Lackawanna up, 53-52.
Big man Demetrious Smith showed a savvy passing eye several times in the game, and he came up big to find Tompkins for a layup here to put Cleve Hill up, 54-53.
Check out the little man bouncing in the bleachers after the timeout is called.
After a Lackawanna turnover, Ramadhan hits a huge three from the left corner to put Cleve Hill up, 57-53, with about 1:40 left..
A big three answered by a big three as Santiago drains one to pull Lackawanna within 57-56 with :51 left.
On the ensuing inbounds, Lackawanna makes a steal and Alexander makes a great dribble-drive-dish to Cheatom for a 58-57 Steelers lead with :39 left.
Not the most exciting video, but definitely meaningful and definitely clutch as Ramadhan (what a fourth quarter for him, huh?) coolly hits a pair with 29.1 seconds left for Cleveland Hill's 59-58 lead.
Lackawanna missed a shot on its next possession; Cleveland Hill missed a front end on a one-and-one free throw with 17.2 seconds left; Lackawanna missed a shot and the ball went out of bounds off of Cleveland Hill with 4.4 seconds left.
That catches you up to the drama captured at the top of the blog.
* * *
Some postgame reaction ...
From Lackawanna:
And here's some audio (hopefully this works) from
Cleveland Hill coach Jason Przybysz
* * *
Lackawanna, which is ranked third among small schools, didn't look like a top team early on, and maybe that's because trips to Cleveland Hill usually haven't been too tough so perhaps they weren't up for the game.
The Golden Eagles played very well and I think I'll be seeing them again this year. They have a nice mix of weapons inside and outside and they were very well coached -- they played under control almost the entire game. Cleveland Hill hustled big-time -- it regularly beat Lackawanna down the floor early on.
The Steelers got their game together late, and they have some serious weapons, starting with Alexander. Hall is a presences, Cheatom is dynamic while Santiago hit some clutch threes. This might not have been their best night, but, as usual, Lackawanna should be a popular pick come the postseason.
* * *
From a look at the Tuesday scoreboard, it turns out it doesn't seem like I missed much at the other stops I was considering.
Here's the boys basketball roundup of Tuesday's action.

Sleep Myths
How much do you know about sleep disorders? Review these statements and learn which are true and which are not.
Health problems have no relation to the amount and quality of a person's sleep.
False: More and more scientific studies are showing correlations between poor quality sleep and/or insufficient sleep with a variety of diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. For example, insufficient sleep can impair the body's ability to use insulin, which can lead to the development of more severe diabetes. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes and sleep apnea have improvement of blood sugar control when treated for sleep apnea. This is also found in patients with high blood pressure and sleep apnea. When the sleep apnea is treated, the blood pressure also improves. In addition, too little sleep may decrease growth hormone secretion, which has been linked to obesity.
Older people need less sleep.
False: The average adult needs a total sleep time of seven to nine hours per day. While sleep patterns usually change as we age, the amount of sleep we generally need does not. Older people may sleep less at night due, in part, to frequent night waking, but their need for sleep is no less than that of younger adults.
Snoring can be harmful.
True: Aside from bothering other people, snoring is not harmful. However, it can be a sign of sleep apnea, a sleep disorder that is associated with significant medical problems such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sleep apnea is characterized by episodes of reduced or no airflow throughout the night. People with sleep apnea may remember waking up frequently during the night gasping for breath.
You can "cheat" on the amount of sleep you get.
False: Sleep experts say that most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimal health. Getting fewer hours of sleep will eventually need to be replenished with additional sleep in the next few nights. Our body does not seem to get used to less sleep than it needs.
Teens need more sleep than adults.
True: Teens need at least 8.5 to 9.25 hours of sleep each night, compared to an average of seven to nine hours each night for most adults. The internal biological clocks of teenagers can keep them awake later in the evening and can interfere with waking up in the morning.
Insomnia is characterized only by difficulty falling asleep.
False: One or more of the following four symptoms are usually associated with insomnia:
Daytime sleepiness means a person is not getting enough sleep.
False: While excessive daytime sleepiness often occurs if you don't get enough sleep, it can also occur even after a good night's sleep. Such sleepiness can be a sign of an underlying medical condition or sleep disorder such as narcolepsy or sleep apnea.
Your brain rests during sleep.
False: The body rests during sleep, not the brain. The brain remains active, gets recharged, and still controls many body functions including breathing during sleep.
If you wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep you should get out of bed and do something.
True: If you wake up in the night and can't fall back to sleep within about 15-20 minutes, get out of bed and do something relaxing. Do not sit in bed and watch the clock. Experts recommend going into another room to read or listen to music. Return to bed only when you feel tired.
Getting too little sleep may impact weight.
True: How much a person sleeps at night can impact their weight. This is because the amount of sleep a person gets can affect certain hormones, specifically the hormones leptin and ghrelin, that affect appetite. Leptin and ghrelin work in a kind of "checks and balances" system to control feelings of hunger and fullness. Ghrelin, which is produced in the gastrointestinal tract, stimulates appetite, while leptin, produced in fat cells, sends a signal to the brain when you are full. When you don't get enough sleep, it drives leptin levels down, which means you don't feel as satisfied after you eat, and increases ghrelin levels, stimulating your appetite so you want more food. The two combined can set the stage for overeating, which in turn may lead to weight gain.
Are You Getting Enough Sleep?
The amount of sleep a person needs depends on many factors, including age. For example, in general:
However, experts say that if you feel drowsy during the day, even during boring activities, you haven't had enough sleep.
The amount of sleep a person needs also increases if he or she has been deprived of sleep in previous days. Getting too little sleep creates a "sleep debt," which is much like being overdrawn at a bank. Eventually, your body will demand that the debt be repaid. We don't seem to adapt to getting less sleep than we need, while we may get used to a sleep-depriving schedule, our judgment, reaction time, and other functions are still impaired.
Too little sleep may cause:
The Dangers of Sleep Deprivation
Many studies make it clear that sleep deprivation is dangerous. Sleep-deprived people who are tested by using a driving simulator or by performing a hand-eye coordination task perform as badly as or worse than those who are intoxicated.
Sleep deprivation also magnifies alcohol's effects on the body, so a fatigued person who drinks will become much more impaired than someone who is well rested.
Driver fatigue is responsible for an estimated 56,000 motor vehicle accidents and 1,500 deaths each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Since drowsiness is the brain's last step before falling asleep, driving while drowsy can -- and often does -- lead to disaster. Caffeine and other stimulants cannot overcome the effects of severe sleep deprivation.
The National Sleep Foundation says that if you:
you are probably too drowsy to drive safely.
Insomnia is itself often a symptom of other problems. Typical patterns of insomnia include the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep at night, waking up earlier than usual, and daytime fatigue. Most people with insomnia don't fall asleep in inappropriate situations, like driving. If this does occur, it may signal that a medical disorder (such as sleep apnea) is the cause of insomnia.
Sleep Apnea
Excessive daytime sleepiness is the primary symptom. Some people will deny sleepiness but feel fatigued. Other symptoms are snoring, snorting, and gasping sounds when you sleep -- often first noticed by a sleeping partner. Restless or unrefreshing sleep is also typical, as are headaches in the morning.
Excessive sleepiness during the day, alleviated by naps, is a symptom of narcolepsy. Dreaming during naps and experiencing dream-like hallucinations as you fall asleep are also warning signs. Loss of muscle control (called cataplexy) that occurs with emotion, such as laughing or anger, and the inability to move as you're going to sleep or waking up (called sleep paralysis) are also symptoms.
Restless Leg Syndrome
The primary warning sign is the irresistible urge to move your legs shortly after you get into bed, in the middle of the night after awakening, or even when wide awake during the day. It usually feels better if you get up to walk around or rub your leg. "Creepy-crawly" or twitching feeling in your calves, feet, thighs, or arms are symptoms of restless leg syndrome -- the sensations of discomfort can be quite varied. Kicking or twitching leg movements during sleep, and sometimes while awake, may be warning signs.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is characterized by difficulty falling and/or staying asleep. People with insomnia have one or more of the following symptoms:
There are two types of insomnia: primary insomnia and secondary insomnia.
Insomnia also varies in how long it lasts and how often it occurs. It can be short-term (acute insomnia) or can last a long time (chronic insomnia). It can also come and go, with periods of time when a person has no sleep problems. Acute insomnia can last from one night to a few weeks. Insomnia is called chronic when a person has insomnia at least three nights a week for a month or longer.
Acute insomnia may not require treatment. Mild insomnia often can be prevented or cured by practicing good sleep habits (see below). If your insomnia makes it hard for you to function during the day because you are sleepy and tired, your health care provider may prescribe sleeping pills for a limited time. Rapid onset, short-acting medications can help you avoid effects such as drowsiness the following day. Avoid using over-the-counter sleeping pills for insomnia since they may have undesired side effects and tend to lose their effectiveness over time.
Treatment for chronic insomnia includes first treating any underlying conditions or health problems that are causing the insomnia. If insomnia continues, your health care provider may suggest behavioral therapy. Behavioral approaches help you to change behaviors that may worsen insomnia and to learn new behaviors to promote sleep. Techniques such as relaxation exercises, sleep restriction therapy, and reconditioning may be useful.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person's breathing is interrupted during sleep. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times.
There are two types of sleep apnea:
Sleep apnea can affect anyone at any age, even children. However, risk factors for sleep apnea include:
If left untreated, sleep apnea can result in a growing number of health problems including:
In addition, untreated sleep apnea may be responsible for poor performance in everyday activities, such as at work and school, motor vehicle crashes, as well as academic underachievement in children and adolescents.
Sleep Apnea Treatments
Sleep apnea treatments range from conservative measures -- such as losing weight if you are overweight or changing sleep positions -- to surgery.
In mild cases of sleep apnea, conservative therapy may be all that is needed. Conservative approaches include:
Continuous positive airway pressure -- also called CPAP -- is a treatment in which a mask is worn over the nose and/or mouth while you sleep. The mask is hooked up to a machine that delivers a continuous flow of air into the nostrils. The positive pressure from air flowing into the nostrils helps keep the airways open so that breathing is not impaired. CPAP is considered by many experts to be the most effective treatment for sleep apnea.
Dental devices can be made that help keep the airway open during sleep. Such devices can be specifically designed by dentists with special expertise in treating sleep apnea.
There are minimally invasive office procedures -- such as the pillar palatal implant, somnoplasty, and injection snoreplasty -- that are designed to reduce and stiffen the soft tissue of the soft palate. While these procedures have been effective in treating snoring, their long-term efficacy in treating apnea has not yet been determined.
10 Tips FOR BETTER Sleep
We all have trouble sleeping from time to time. But you can make it easier to get a good night's sleep every night with these simple steps.
Some people find relief in making a list of all the stressors of the day, along with a plan to deal with them this can act as "closure" to the day. Combining this with a period of relaxation perhaps by reading something light, meditating, aromatherapy, light stretching, or taking a hot bath can also help you get better sleep. And don't look at the clock! That "tick-tock" will just tick you off.
Also, try not to drink fluids after 8 p.m. This can keep you from having to get up to use the bathroom during the night.

IPSWICH — Barbara Louise (Strout) (Farris, by adoption) Pancoast, 95, died October 17, 2012, at Beverly Hospital after a brief illness.
She was born in Oxford, Maine, on November 13, 1916, to Delma and Emma (Harris) Strout, but was orphaned at age five and adopted by her aunt Florence (Harris) Farris and raised by her aunt and her grandparents Emma and John Jacob Astor Harris, in Mechanic Falls, Maine. She was a resident of Manchester, NH, for forty-six years and had just moved to Ipswich, in December 2011 to live with her youngest son.
She was educated in Mechanic Falls public schools and attended beautician school in Portland, Maine. She moved to New York City for her work and loved that experience, but returned to Maine where she met and married Wynfield S. (Bill) Pancoast from Pennsylvania. They were married in his home state of Pennsylvania but made their home in Maine. Her husband predeceased her in 1993. Prior to her illness, she worked for many years as an electronics assembler in special top secret government projects at (Lockheed) Sanders' Associates in Nashua and then Merrimack, NH, until her retirement in 1987. She was an avid furniture restorer and home decorator, loved reading and collected antiques such as hat pins, oil lamps and furniture. She loved any project that improved her home and surroundings, indoor or out. She loved going for family vacations at lakefront property in southern Maine. She had a lifelong love of all things Maine. She had a remarkable sense of humor and a great memory. She was a lifelong dog lover but was also very attached to her cat Tippy at the end of her life. But most of all she cherished her family and would do anything for any of them anytime, if it was within her substantial power to do. She was proud of everything any of her children and grandchildren did.
She was predeceased by her son Gary who died in Manchester, NH, in July 2011 after a brief illness. Surviving members of her family include her sons Stephen J. Pancoast, MD of Moscow, PA, Jeffrey W. Pancoast, PE of Ft Collins, CO, David P. Pancoast, Esq of Ipswich; and a daughter, Barbara A. (Pancoast) Boland, Purchasing Agent, of Dracut. She is also survived by her grandchildren Elizabeth (Pancoast) Lanoue of Scarborough, ME, Kimberly Pancoast of Longmont, CO, Kristen (Pancoast) Vasquez of Johnstown, CO, Kevin Boland of Dracut, and Jacob Pancoast of Ipswich; and several great-grandchildren, and nieces and nephews.
She will be missed by all who were so lucky to have known her, especially her loving family.
ARRANGEMENTS: Visiting hours will be held Tuesday, October 23, 4 to 7 pm in the Whittier-Porter Funeral Home, 6 High Street, Ipswich. Family and friends are respectfully welcomed. Interment will be Wednesday in the Maple Grove Cemetery, Mechanic Falls, ME. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in memory of Barbara L. Pancoast to The Mary & John Elliot Charitable Foundation, One Elliot Way, Manchester, NH 03103. For directions or to leave a condolence, please visit www.whittier-porter.com.

Important notes on articles:
Message:usually due to hitting the wrong key on my calculator. The errors are never huge though, usually just a few cents as a large dollar amount would jump right out at me. Any mistakes will come up when I balance my checking account with the next statement. I also record all entries in pencil to make any corrections easy. Of course, as I said earlier, I still use my check register. I don't care who here makes fun of me for doing it.
Right now, your checking account is probably a mess. My advice would be to go to your bank and have them balance it for you. They will charge you a small fee, but it will be balanced. Then, start keeping a running record of all transactions from now on. Record all checks, ATM withdrawals, automatic withdrawals if you have any of those coming out, deposits, etc. Record everything! Then, when you get your statement every month, sit down and balance your checkbook. Whether you use a spreadsheet or even your checkbook's register doesn't matter, it's a simple process, but you need to do it.
