A father's remark during lunch in Central America might have provided a key in the University of Akron's quest for its second NCAA men's soccer championship in three seasons.
UA coach Caleb Porter was practically sheepish last week when he conceded how he and associate head coach Jared Embick "almost laughed off" the recommendation.
Last spring while serving as coach of the U-23 national team, Porter visited Costa Rica, where he dined with Reynaldo Brenes, father of Zips junior Reinaldo Brenes. During the conversation, Porter said the elder Brenes suggested, "You should give him a try at forward."
Brenes was a midfielder when Porter recruited Brenes out of the Edison Academic Center in Florida, where he played at the IMG Academy with former UA stars Zarek Valentin, Kofi Sarkodie, Blair Gavin, Anthony Ampaipitakwong and current teammate Scott Caldwell. Even after sophomore striker Darren Mattocks was selected second overall in the 2012 Major League Soccer SuperDraft, Brenes seemed destined to stay at mid.
"Always back home I played higher up the field," Brenes said during an interview last Friday at the UA student union. "When I moved to Florida, the only position available for me to play right away was holding midfielder. So I started there. My second year I played attacking mid, but one of our holding mids left. The only possibility was to move me down there."
Until Sept. 14, that's where Brenes stayed.
His first two years at UA, Brenes was plagued by injuries. He arrived as a freshman with a groin problem that lingered for seven months. As a sophomore, he battled a left hamstring injury all season. He played in 26 total games and UA won the national title in 2010, but Brenes made only four starts and scored just one goal with five assists in that span. His best performance was a two-assist, six-shot effort at Buffalo in 2011, when Porter said Brenes was "a man among boys."
But with his training limited, Brenes' confidence lagged.
Last summer in his native Costa Rica, Brenes returned to his old spot. He trained with second-tier players of Saprissa, the most successful club in the region. Brenes said the coach was one he had had in youth soccer, but the man "didn't remember me that much."
When practice began June 20, Brenes was an attacking mid. By July 10, Brenes had moved into a striker spot.
That hadn't happened when Reynaldo Brenes, who runs a plant that processes peanuts, coffee and plantains, had lunch with Porter. But the father knew his son's soccer history and couldn't resist mentioning he could do more.
"We kind of laughed at it but we were like, 'You never know, maybe his dad knows more than we know,' " Porter said, recalling his and Embick's reaction. "As it turns out, I guess he did."
After the only loss of UA's season, a 3-1 setback at then-No. 17 Notre Dame on Sept. 9, Porter and Embick decided they weren't getting enough out of what Porter calls "the No. 9 spot" of center striker. Freshman Alfred Koroma and senior Thomas Schmitt were rotating there.
"They were doing OK, but our team wasn't jelling in the attack like we had hoped," Porter said.
Koroma was hospitalized with a staph infection and was unavailable Sept. 14 against No. 10 St. John's. When they had learned of Brenes' summer experience, Porter had begun training Brenes as a second-team striker. Finally, Embick spoke up.
"Jared came in and said, 'I think we've got to try Reinaldo,' " Porter remembered. "I immediately agreed. It had been something we'd kind of talked about a little bit before the year, perhaps. But because we had Tommy and Alfred we didn't think we'd make the move."
There was more juggling. Freshman Dillon Serna went from left back to forward, and freshman Phil Fives started at left back. Junior Robbie Derschang has since become the primary left back, with freshman Saad Abdul-Salaam also seeing time there.
The result of Brenes' move wasn't immediate. He went scoreless in his first three starts. Then a hat trick Sept. 29 at home against Buffalo started an eight-game string that saw Brenes score 10 goals.
On Tuesday, UA (15-1-2) moved into the No. 1 spot in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll. The Zips host the Mid-American Conference Tournament this weekend, opening play at 7:30 p.m. today against Bowling Green. The championship is set for 4:30 p.m. Sunday.
To help its national-championship hopes, UA has its eye on a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament, which begins Thursday and concludes with the College Cup Dec. 7-9 in Hoover, Ala. Brenes' contributions have helped keep that dream alive.
"He's been a huge key to our success in the last 11 games," Porter said. "Not just him scoring, but our overall attacking chemistry has been better since he's been in there."
Going into this weekend, Brenes is the Zips' leading goal scorer (10), while Caldwell is their points leader (24).
"He's strong so when we play the ball in to him he can hold the ball up," Porter said of Brenes. "When we get crosses he's good in the air. He's pretty fast so he can run behind the defense. And he's pretty clinical. He's had 37 shots, 20 of them on goal, and he's scored 10 goals. That's a very good strike rate."
Brenes, 20, seems to have made a huge leap in his new role.
"I really wanted it. I really wanted to play up top," he said. "Last spring they played me forward in one of the wide spots and I was doing well, but ups and downs, I was coming up with injuries, I wasn't feeling really confident.
"This year when they put me out there I really felt prepared to take the position."
Until Reinaldo, tennis had been the main focus in the Brenes family. Brenes said his father played the sport at a Florida community college and sisters Erika and Andrea participated, the latter playing at the University of Alabama. Brenes tried it, too, but chose soccer when he was 15.
Now Brenes may have found his niche, even as Porter leaves in December to coach the Portland Timbers of Major League Soccer and Embick takes over as UA coach.
"I still think you could play him in the middle and he'd be great," Porter said. "But with us losing so many strikers, it was a necessity to try him there. Jared's plan is to play him there.
"Hopefully he'll be one of the top strikers in the country next year."

Ohio man charged in courthouse bomb threat probe
Mar 21, 2013
By The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — An Ohio man charged in the investigation into dozens of bomb threats made to courthouses and other public buildings in five states late last year waived a bond hearing Thursday and was ordered locked up.
The FBI arrested 39-year-old Lonny Bristow of Mansfield on Wednesday in the Mansfield area.
One of those bomb threats was called into Yamhill County Clerk's office the afternoon of November 23rd, 2012 resulting in the evacuation of all county buildings for 45 minutes as they were searched for potential threats.
Nothing suspicious was found.
He had an initial court appearance Thursday in U.S. District Court in Cleveland and waived a bond hearing. Bristow agreed to be held without bond while his case is pending, his public defender, Carolyn Kucharski, said in an email.
Bristow was initially charged with a single count of making a bomb threat by phone.
The FBI said Bristow was arrested in the investigation of bomb threats made in November and December to courthouses and public buildings in Nebraska, Washington, Oregon, Tennessee and Mississippi.
There was no immediate indication of a possible motive.
An FBI agent's affidavit filed with the court said investigators traced numerous bomb threats to prepaid phone cards purchased at a Wal-Mart in Upper Sandusky, located about 40 miles west of Mansfield.
Agents searched Bristow's residence and seized computers, bank cards, weapons and ammunition, the FBI said.
The Mansfield News Journal reported that in 1997 Bristow was labeled a "vexatious litigator." Since 1993, Bristow filed at least 137 lawsuits, targeting law enforcement personnel, judges, media outlets and others.
Although the lawsuits were usually tossed out of court, they added up to thousands of dollars in attorney fees, the newspaper reported.
The paper also reported that Bristow also was the first inmate in Ohio to have his mail privileges revoked. He received a 13-year prison sentence for theft, retaliation, aiding an escape, harassment by an inmate and telephone harassment.
Stephen Anthony, head of the FBI in northern Ohio, said the bomb threats had induced panic for hundreds of people. He called the threats "reckless and malicious."
Kucharski limited her comments to detailing the initial court proceeding and wouldn't comment further.

Oakley Golf Eyewear at Ryder Cup & Viking Classic
In striking fashion, long-time Oakley eyewear supporter Will MacKenzie took down two fellow players in a play-off at the Viking Classic.
At the 11th hole in the Viking Classic on Sunday, Will MacKenzie was trailing good buddy Marc Turnesa by six strokes and thinking it would be great for Turnesa to win his first PGA TOUR title.
"There was a time today when I wanted him to win," MacKenzie said. "When I was so far behind, I really wanted Marc to win it."
Instead, MacKenzie gave himself a talking to and went on to birdie the par-5 18th three straight times to win in a playoff for his second PGA TOUR victory.
"I was sort of chalking it up," MacKenzie said. "Then I thought, play well down the stretch Will, maybe you can get a couple more birdies and then you will have a solid week."
A free spirit who dropped out of golf for almost 10 years and lived in his van for five, MacKenzie rallied to beat Turnesa on the second playoff hole after Brian Gay dropped out on the first extra hole.
On the first playoff hole, MacKenzie stayed alive with a two-putt birdie from 59 feet, while Turnesa sank an 11-footer.
At second extra hole, MacKenzie hit the green in two and Turnesa needed three shots. MacKenzie two putted from 63 feet for another birdie, and won when Turnesa missed his 18-footer.
Willie Mac epitomizes Oakley to the nth degree – from his style to his golf play to his attitude. Oakley would like to congratulate Willie on a tremendous win this past weekend.
Ryder Cup Coverage:
Not since 1999 had the US Ryder Cup Team taken home the elusive cup, but it was not an easy task with Capitan, Nick Faldo of the European Team selecting Oakley's Ian Poulter as his wildcard.
Ian would score the most points of any player over the four days of play, winning four of his five matches. Poulter was sporting his signature Flak Jackets.
In addition, European teammate and Oakley eyewear supporter Henrik Stenson continued his amazing shot making skill set to shine for his losing team in custom blue and yellow Radars.

Statement Regarding Morning Incident at GBTC & Arnold
This morning, Anne Arundel Community College's public safety department received a bomb threat at the Henry L. Dragun Science Building and Glen Burnie Town Center. Safety is of the utmost importance. We followed standard protocols and immediately evacuated both buildings and called county police. They responded with the fire department which is standard protocol. They did a scan of the buildings with the bomb squad and gave us the "all clear." No one was hurt.
Again, safety is our top priority. We work closely with county police with whom we have a great relationship. We followed the college's standard protocols and we immediately alerted students and employees.
Thank you to our public safety department for taking swift and immediate action, and to the college community for your cooperation.

Local motorists are being urged to avoid eastbound Interstate 70 Thursday night and early Friday because of planned, short-term lane closures.
The Indiana Department of Transportation will be closing both lanes of eastbound I-70 at about the 13-mile marker for 20-minute intervals starting at 11 p.m. Thursday through 6 a.m. Friday to allow workers to remove some damaged beams from the Frye Road overpass in eastern Vigo County.
Traffic will not be stopped for longer than 20 minutes at a time, said Debbie Calder, media relations director for INDOT's Crawfordsville district.
After each closure, the lanes will re-open to allow all the traffic to clear before stopping traffic again, she said.
No other construction will be taking place in the eastbound lanes of I-70 in that area during the bridge repair work, Calder said. The westbound lanes will continue to see construction work, she said.
The repair work was made necessary after a piece of construction equipment struck and damaged the Frye Road overpass last September.
The same process – involving 20-minute lane closures – will take place in a couple of weeks when new beams are placed in the bridge, Calder said. An exact date for that work has not yet been determined.
Local traffic should use U.S. 40 if at all possible Thursday night and early Friday to avoid the situation, said Sgt. Joe Watts of the Indiana State Police, which will be assisting INDOT manage traffic during the project.
The bridge repair project comes less than two weeks after a pair of crashes on I-70 in Vigo County. Despite those and other incidents, 2013 has been a much better year on the highway than last year, Watts said.
"We've not responded to very serious crashes at all," Watts said. "The majority of our crashes have [involved] minor injuries or property damage only."
Last year at this time, the ISP had responded to a number of much more serious crashes, he said.
The road construction companies, the state police, local authorities such as sheriff's departments and INDOT are working closely together this year and learned a lot from last year's experience, Watts said. In addition, the ISP is taking a number of steps this year, such as stationing troopers at the end of backups to slow approaching vehicles, he said.
"It's a lot of work for our troopers, but it's reducing crashes and saving lives," Watts said.

The 19th Century Meets the 21st
I live at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, in a 150-year-old building that used to be the headquarters of the Brooklyn Railroad. Before the bridge was built, barges and ferries docked along the piers. Trains brought people and goods into Brooklyn and beyond. The bridge killed the ferries, the railroad and, eventually, the neighborhood—the heart of Brooklyn in Walt Whitman's day.
After a century of decline, the neighborhood, Fulton Ferry Landing, is being reclaimed by artists and people like me who work anywhere, thanks to the Internet. Disconnected for a hundred years, due to a network of roads that ignored it, Fulton Ferry Landing changed little. Today, it is quickly being reconnected to the rest of the planet, as a result of the most efficient transportation network ever devised.
Wall Street—just across the river—is one of the most wired neighborhoods on the planet. The rest of New York, however, lags behind most of North America in terms of connectivity options: few cable modems, little DSL, and ISDN being more expensive than digital leased lines. Most people make do with a modem. After seven years of dial-up access, I decided I could no longer wait for the dissolution of our local telephone and cable monopolies—it was taking too long.
Thanks to Linux, some volunteer work and a bit of luck, the old headquarters of the Brooklyn Railroad is now one of the most wired old buildings on the planet. Each apartment has two data ports connected to a router in the basement. The router is connected to the Internet through a digital leased line. We now have high-speed connectivity, 24 hours a day, for less than it used to cost us to maintain dial-up accounts.
A few months ago, I asked the building's residents to let me wire the building with CAT5 in order to set up a building network, because it made sense both economically and organizationally. Sharing resources, after all, is the whole point of packet switched networking—not wiring an apartment building is perverse.
Three years ago, I used to walk into many businesses that had each desktop computer connected to the Internet through a dial-up connection. Today, most of those businesses have connected their entire intranet to the Internet though a single, large pipe. Dial-up connections are expensive and inefficient; no IT organization would dream of setting things up that way. Apartment building dwellers, however, have barely begun to question the way they approach the problem. Although they enjoy high-speed, permanent connectivity at work, they don't question the AOL dial-up ritual at home.
To date, no one is offering residential network management service. If you want a building network, you will need an on-site expert to set up and maintain it.
In the U.S., the local telephone company is responsible for wires to the building. Residents are responsible for wires in their apartment. The building owner is responsible for the wiring within the rest of the building. I suspect it will take at least another two to three years for people to realize that IP is as fundamental as telephone service. At that point, they will start making noise about wiring capable of carrying data from the basement to their apartments. Network equipment vendors will start building and pricing hardware for this market, and of course, residential network management companies will be formed. In the meantime, we have to plan and build everything ourselves.
My building was not prepared to provide a network infrastructure. I guessed that trying to convince a majority of the shareholders to do so would be a waste of time, so I offered to pay for it all and resell the service to anyone who wanted it. Everyone with a computer has joined. While I would have preferred not to absorb all up-front costs, I have enjoyed the privilege of making decisions without running them by a committee.
The most significant up-front costs are the wiring, the router and the computer providing name, mail and web services. Running CAT5 wires from each apartment to a central hub—in our case, the basement—is never going to be cheap. In most cases, however, it will cost far less than it cost me. The age of the building worked against me.
In the early 20th century, services were run as if they would never require replacement. Electrical wires were buried in plaster walls. Telephones were wired directly to the building's exterior. Telephone jacks were a 1950s innovation, an early example of plug-and-play. Today, architects frequently design electrical systems to be accessible without the help of a demolition crew. Those who are truly forward-thinking will design easily accessible, parallel conduits: one for electricity and one for data. Today, "data" usually consists of telephone and cable television wires. Tomorrow, those two will be joined by computer network wires, which soon enough will also carry telephone and television data.
In our building, nothing is straightforward. Throughout the years, conduits have been run through the wood and concrete floors to carry electrical, telephone, intercom and cable TV wiring. None were large enough to accommodate additional wires. Running a new conduit was estimated to cost almost $1000 per apartment. That expense was impossible to justify at that time.
While I was mulling over what to do about this network wiring problem, another arose. The building ran out of telephone wires. Whoever did the capacity planning when the central wires were installed never considered fax lines, dial-up lines and two or three voice lines per unit. Also, the wires were old—many broke due to corrosion and many were static-filled. Clearly, I had another project on my hands.
Actually, I was lucky the building reached the end of its telephone network lifetime when it did. Any earlier, and I would not have had the foresight to run network lines in parallel with the new telephone lines. Any later, and I would probably have invested in a high-speed solution for myself and would not even have considered doing the work on a communal scale. The incremental cost of running the network wires was negligible, so I decided to go ahead and do it.
The great irony, of course, is that everyone has now canceled the lines they had for their dial-up service. Under the old system, we would now have plenty of lines.
Besides the wiring, the router and central computer turned out to be the other big cost in this sort of operation.
The router is expensive because each apartment needs its own subnet. I asked Cisco what they sold that could do the job. They literally answered that buying a router from them would cost me "both arms and both legs". They did, however, suggest a "cheap" alternative: a low-end router and a switch, a solution that would have cost me about $3,500. I was not willing to spend half that much to solve this piece of the puzzle. I was fairly sure I could build what I needed using Linux.
My neighbor, a Linux guru, assured me I could. Before long, he and I had done the research and mapped out a strategy that worked.
The hardware we needed was free. Businesses all over town have mountains of 486s gathering dust in their storerooms. They are thrilled to give them away! As you know, the operating system we decided to use was also freely available.
Since our router was going to be a general purpose computer, we decided to run all of the shared services on the same computer. This simplified a lot of management issues. It also made disaster recovery relatively straightforward. We built a second, identical machine that can be swapped in for the first at a moment's notice. This sort of approach is practical only if a single machine is involved.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

I took a few photos, then we excitedly walked over to her, and I introduced myself and my son, Maverick, and showed her the photos. I love photographing moments like this, then meeting the people, because there is always such a great response and almost an instant connection.

"The photographer does a nice job capturing all aspects of a brilliant sunrise, from the silhouetted rocks and land in the distance to the rising sun between the clouds along the horizon line. The warm light spilling from the sun casts a warm glow across the horizon and illuminates the clouds in powerful way. The clouds and ripples from the water provide nice texture to the image, while the dark rocks move the viewer's eye nicely to the rising sun."

Gov. Tom Corbett said he hopes to maintain current funding levels next year for public schools and the four state-related universities, but warned that could change if he does not get the reforms he supports to public sector pension plans.
Corbett described his approach Wednesday in an interview with the editorial board of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The first-term Republican did not lay out all the details of his pension proposal, saying they would be part of his Feb. 5 budget address. But he did say his 2013-14 budget proposal would be "based on some assumptions," and if structural pension changes do not pass, then "there's going to have to be some adjustments to the budget."
Corbett told the paper he and his budget secretary were considering revisions to the pension formulas that could significantly alter the retirement benefits of current state workers and school employees. Corbett said he did not envision reductions in retirees' benefits, or to the pension benefits active employees have already accrued.
He said he was sticking to the no-tax pledge he made during the 2010 gubernatorial campaign, but declined to say whether he would maintain that in seeking a second term next year.
A major transportation package that had been scheduled to be announced this week will instead be part of the budget address, Corbett said.

Comments about Tirra Leather:
On receipt the velcro on the main straps on both shoes was already coming away, but I did not have time to send them back to Teva, so a spot of UHU and away I went on holiday to Southern India. Very comfortable to wear even in very high temperatures and on rough terrain, but velcro is no coming away again on one shoe, so a little disappointed for the price paid.

There are many different services that you can choose from when you are looking for cheap satellite internet. How do you sift through all of those companies and find which one is right for you. Luckily you don't really have to do that anymore, there are sites out there like cheapestsatellitetv.org/. That are specifically designed with the user in mind, they are easy to get to and once you are there finding out the prices is easy as clicking a button. You type in your area code into the box and then right away you have the results that you are looking for. It will tell you most of the companies that are offering services in your area and then tell you the average price that users around you are paying. Now of course the system is not perfect so if you find a bug, let them know and they will probably get on it. The system relies on user input however, so if there are not a lot of tech savvy people in your area or people that are not keen on filling out reviews you might end up with some pretty low quality results, if this happens to you than you can try to help the next person out by finding the results out yourself and filling them in so the next guy can get more accurate results. This is an important step and if you end up having to call around yourself I urge you to fill in the boxes so the next guy has a better chance of having it easy. Of course not all people think it is worth their time to fill out a quick survey, and if that is the case than you can just move right along. It's just sort of rude to expect results without expecting to contribute. Scan Through Additional Information

In his weekly address Friday, President Obama praised the U.S. Men's Soccer Team for representing "America so well" in the World Cup, and gave a special mention to goalkeeper Tim Howard.
"I know there's actually a petition on the White House website to make Tim Howard the next Secretary of Defense," he joked. "Chuck Hagel's got that spot right now, but if there is a vacancy, I promise to think about it."
Howard set a World Cup record with 16 saves in Team USA's unsuccessful match against Belgium on Tuesday. But the team's better-than-expected performance helped crown Howard as the country's new soccer hero.
He's now the subject of two petitions on the White House website: One calls for Obama to appoint Howard Secretary of Defense, while the other says Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington should be renamed "Tim Howard National Airport."
Hagel, the sitting defense secretary, phoned the goalkeeper this week to "thank him for defending the United States of America at the World Cup," Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said. Hagel also invited the team to drop by the Pentagon next time they are in town.
"He told Howard that with some training, he could someday become the real secretary of defense," Kirby said.

Almost the entire state has been or is being influenced under shifting cultivation, except for some pockets of valley bottomlands, and reserve forests. Shifting cultivation destroys the protective and productive vegetation in preference to a very brief period of immediate crop production and this results in soil loss and other consequential damages.
Commonly known as "Jhum" this practice was valid only during those days where human population was sparse and pressure on land was negligible. The Jhumming cycle then varied from 50 to 60 years but due to increase in population the Jhum cycle has now been reduce from 3-5 years in Western Meghalaya to 1-3 years in the central and Eastern parts. The rationale behind the persistency of the system greatly lies in its compatibility with the physical environment. This has made the land highly and productive and is alarmingly leading to extensive land degradation and imbalance in the socio - economic setup of the village communities
It has been reported that soil erosion from the hill slopes of 60-70% is as follows: -

Oliver Ames and Stoughton met three times last year, with two of the games resulting in blowout wins for the Black Knights.
On Friday evening, both squads squared off for the first time in roughly 10 months, and this time the Tigers managed to construct a lead, which they never relinquished, and go onto defeat the Black Knights, 74-62.
Nick Cidado paced the Tigers with 14 points; Andrew Reardon tallied 13 points, while St. Clair Ryan and Ryan Carney each recorded 12 points.
"This was a good win for us," said Oliver Ames coach Don Bryon.
"It's a good rivalry game, two teams that have been pretty good over the last few years, we've had some real good games that have been a lot of overtime things and controversial endings and all the things that make up a good rivalry, and it was a great one for us to get."
Oliver Ames wasted little time securing the lead, as Reardon, Carney, Cidado and Brendan Welch each recorded one bucket following the opening tap, which provided the Tigers with an 11-2 advantage late in the opening frame.
Stoughton coach John Gallivan called a timeout with 1:30 remaining in the first quarter attempting to stop the Tigers run, but the short breather didn't help, as layups by Reardon and Welch, along with a pair from the stripe by Evan Coose provided the host's with a 33-24 lead at the break.
"We didn't pay enough attention to detail, and we couldn't shoot and that's a bad combination," said Gallivan.
"When you look up and it's halfway through the first quarter and you're down, 4-0, you say, 'alright, we're in this,' but when you're [9 of 33 from the field] at the half, it's just makeable shots and that's a problem that we're going to address in practice because you can't play at full speed if you don't practice at full speed, and maybe that's a wakeup call."
Oliver Ames and Stoughton swapped layups once the second half commenced, but numerous missed shots by the Black Knights allowed the Tigers to extend their advantage to 49-38 after three stanzas.
Chris Duggan recorded three consecutive transition layups once the fourth quarter started, but Stoughton answered with a trifecta from Mike Gallagher, which brought the Black Knights within 14 with 5:27 remaining. The triple, though, didn't spark any comeback for the visitor's, as Duggan and Ryan recorded more layups to push the Tigers ahead for good.
"We did a real good defensive job on a couple of guys that we felt were the keys to it all," said Bryon. "We did a nice job [defending Stoughton's] Marcus Middleton, and that's our guy, St. Clair Ryan, who every night we send out to play the toughest opponent that we face, so he did a real nice job keeping relatively quiet early, and our other guys did a nice job as well."
Middleton led all scorers with 20 points, while teammate Eddie Grant registered 16.
Oliver Ames finished 28 of 55 from the field, while Stoughton went 23 of 75.
"Every time we made a run at them they had an answer, so more credit to them," said Gallivan.
Both teams will return to the hardwood on Tuesday, as Oliver Ames will host King Phillip, while Stoughton will welcome North Attleboro to their gym. Both games are slated for 6:30 p.m. starts.

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Sam Richardson, who had not even attempted a pass all year, threw for 250 yards and four touchdowns Saturday night, sparking Iowa State past Kansas 51-23 and handing the Jayhawks their 20th consecutive Big 12 loss.
Richardson led the Cyclones (6-5 overall, 3-5 Big 12) to touchdowns on four straight possessions in the second quarter while taking a 38-17 lead. The redshirt freshman, virtually overlooked all year in the Cyclones' jumbled quarterback picture, had previously seen only mop-up duty in one game.
While going 23 for 27, Richardson spread his completions around to 12 different receivers. Six different Cyclones scored touchdowns.
For Kansas (1-10, 0-8), the final home game of the year sent a bedraggled class of seniors out on the same sort of sour note which has characterized their entire collegiate careers.
The fourth- and fifth-year seniors came aboard just as the Mark Mangino-coached Jayhawks were winning two straight bowl games for the first time in school history. The long-struggling program seemed headed for the heights. But after starting the 2009 season 5-0, the Jayhawks lost their next seven and now, counting this lopsided loss to Iowa State, have dropped a stunning 36 of 42 games under three head coaches.
Kansas will need to win at West Virginia in its season finale on Dec. 1 to avoid its worst season since the 1988 Jayhawks finished 1-10.
It's also a bitter entry into the Big 12 for Kansas coach Charlie Weis, who announced at midweek that he would pay the $3 charge for anyone who wanted to buy a student ticket. Officials said it would be several days to know how many took him up on his offer.
Richardson replaced starter Steele Jantz on Iowa State's third possession and immediately engineered a 10-play, 89-yard drive connecting, with Josh Lenz for 30 yards and setting up Jeff Woody's 11-yard touchdown run for a 10-7 lead. Lenz also had a 14-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter.
Tony Pierson rushed for 89 yards for Kansas, including a 55-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, and caught a 37-yard scoring pass from Dayne Crist in the fourth. But after his 55-yard score, Iowa State answered immediately with Richardson's 11-yard scoring pass to Albert Gary.

Let me start this by saying that I am NOT a cook. Historically, I have tried to avoid the kitchen at all costs, which is what likely led to my hefty 372 lb. self.
However, since changing my lifestyle in 2010, I have developed a knack for opening my refrigerator and creating something with whatever fresh ingredients I have on hand.
Today, I was thinking about what I was going to eat for breakfast this week and I decided that I wanted to make my first egg white quiche. From that was born "Kristy's Veggie Egg White Crustless Quiche."

Highlight in History
On Dec. 31, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed an enabling act paving the way for Virginia' western counties to become the state of West Virginia, which took place in June 1863.
On this date
In 1985, singer Rick Nelson, 45, and six other people were killed when fire broke out aboard a DC-3 that was taking the group to a New Year's Eve performance in Dallas.
In 1986, 97 people were killed when fire broke out in the Dupont Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. (Three hotel workers later pleaded guilty in connection with the blaze.)
In 1987, Robert Mugabe, prime minister of Zimbabwe, was sworn in as the country's first executive president.
In 1992, President George H.W. Bush visited Somalia, where he saw firsthand the famine racking the east African nation, and praised U.S. troops who were providing relief to the starving population.
Ten years ago
Emerging from holiday seclusion at his Texas ranch, President George W. Bush told reporters an attack by Saddam Hussein or a terrorist ally "would cripple our economy." North Korea accused the United States of planning an invasion and vowed to fight "to the last man" hours after it expelled two U.N. monitors, leaving its nuclear program shrouded in secrecy. An explosion at a clandestine fireworks factory in the Mexican port city of Veracruz ignited an entire city block, killing 28 people.
Five years ago
President George W. Bush signed legislation to allow states and local governments to cut investment ties with Sudan because of the violence in Darfur. Sara Jane Moore, who took a shot at President Gerald R. Ford in San Francisco in 1975, was paroled after 32 years behind bars.
One year ago
President Barack Obama signed a wide-ranging defense bill into law despite having "serious reservations" about provisions that regulated the detention, interrogation and prosecution of suspected terrorists. A NASA spacecraft fired its engine and slipped into orbit around the moon in the first of two back-to-back arrivals over the New Year's weekend.

BUFFALO, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A grocery store in Putnam County was robbed at knifepoint during the weekend.
Sheriff Steve Deweese tells WSAZ.com a man walked into the Food King along Route 62 in Buffalo on Sunday.
The suspect pulled out a knife and demanded money. He was able to get away with cash before investigators arrived.
Deweese says the suspect is described as a white man, 6-feet foot tall, weighs 150 to 160 pounds. He was wearing baggy jeans, black gloves and a grey-hooded sweatshirt with a black mask over his face.

It's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department is doing its part to highlight the risks posed by the deadly disease to both women and men.
For the second year running, members of the department—career, civilian, and volunteer—will have the option to wear pink t-shirts and polos while on duty during October.
The shirts, designed by a member of the PGFD, are meant to be "a symbol of care and compassion for those affected."
"If not you, we all know someone who has been affected by breast cancer," Fire Chief Marc S. Bashoor said in a statement. "This is an opportunity for us to show our support, and I know that the men and women of this department will do their part to support this worthy cause."
In 2011, shirt purchases raised about $13,000 to be donated to organizations and agencies conducting breast cancer research. This year's shirts can be purchased from the PGFD's online store.
The department is also planning a "big suprise" of a pink nature to be unveiled during a press event Friday at the District Heights Fire/EMS Station.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
— A must read
The new book "Walkable City" by Jeff Speck should be read by: anyone involved in regional land use; anyone trying to make sense of "The Grand Vision"; anyone concerned about economic growth; all environmentalists; and all local township planning folk.
His arguments are pragmatic, his style is engaging, his message is clear. If we shift our focus from regional, separate-use zoning to a more sustainable mixeduse model we can save money, save the environment and find our way back to the neighborhoods we love.

Consider remarks
The liberal establishment's swift condemnation of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia for speaking his mind about racial parity was predictable. But perhaps the country's purpose would be better served if, rather than rushing to judgment; the outspoken justice's critics had paused to consider his remarks in historical context. They are, after all, the clearest expression of judicial attitude on the thorny subject since it was addressed by Chief Justice Roger E. Tany in 1857.

Inconvenient truth
The Feb. 24 op-ed by Ms. Kirkwood tells only part of the story. What she does not mention is that our current low Great Lakes water levels are the same as they were in 1964. Was that due to climate change? Yes, and climate change was the result of the water levels rebounding to record high levels in 1987.
Is climate change occurring? Yes. These changes have been going on since the beginning of time and will continue in the same way. Other factors such as increased flow down the Mississippi River and the St. Clair River are contributing to the current problem. However, Ms. Kirkwood should keep in mind that these are not unique times and events, we have been there before. The difference is that now the all too handy and simple explanation of "climate change and global warming" is a simple, shortsighted means of ignoring climate history. That is the real inconvenient truth.

By Peggy Goodrich, columnist
Enid News and Eagle
Do you lead by example? Think about it.
There is not a day goes by that I don't refer in some way to the way I was raised. I was so fortunate to have wonderful examples that taught me. Both sets of grandparents, both parents, older and younger siblings, teachers, ministers and friends all lead me by their example.
From all of them, I was taught to have an honest work ethic and work just as hard when the boss of parents were watching as when they were out of sight. I was taught honesty, manners, kindness, empathy for others and any and all good traits I have. I was not just born knowing how to behave. I had good leaders who lead by example.
I was not just told what to do and what not to do, I was shown. I was taught that I could do anything they did. They did not say one thing and do another. Adults should know more than kids do to lead by example whether it is in health issues or proper nutrition or exercise.
It breaks my heart to see parents who smoke. Whether they are doing it in front of their children or behind the woodshed, the kids have to know they smoke. Anyone can smell them and their clothes. It has been proven that second-hand smoke is a harmful for kids as their smoking themselves. How dare we jeopardize a child's health or our own by having such a habit?
I am not proud of the fact at one time I smoked. That was back 40 years ago when everyone was lighting up after every meal and when socializing. Nearly all Jim's Marine buddies and their wives smoked. When we got together it was like a smoke house to cure hams. Little by little every one of them quit as well as did the wives.
I did not give up smoking for the Marines. I gave it up for me and because I did not want it on my conscience that one of my precious nieces or nephews or grandchildren started because they saw me doing it. I wanted to lead by example. For several weeks I kept cigarettes in my tea towel drawer so I would know that it was my choice to quit and not just because I was temporarily out. I was never tempted to get one and light it. I am so glad I quit. Anyone can if they make up their mind to do it. It happens first in the mind and then it manifests itself in forming a good or bad habit. I quit for my health and because with all the research and information we have available now, I know it is so bad for us.
It is also bad for younger people to look at us and think it is okay, when it isn't. I have been told by my nieces since they are grown that they always looked up to me as an example. Wow! What a compliment but what a responsibility it is. I would bet that there are people looking to you also as an example and a guide for life. Kids do mimic what they see whether good or bad.
As I said earlier, the same goes for eating. They eat what is handy when they come in from school famished. They will eat fruit if it is handy or candy if it is handier. It is our choice how we set an example for them.
My parents were so sold on education that they helped us kids every night with our homework. We learned many fun shortcuts from them in math. We learned many keys to learning in history. We were turned on to science by stories they told or demonstrated. We were encouraged to read and write. I think the reason I still love to write and put my thoughts on paper is because of their support and leadership and urging.
Another area where I and my siblings got lots of leading by example was in attending church and Bible study. They never just "took" us to church, but went with us. We studied at home as my parents did not solely depend on our Sunday school teachers to tell us about our Lord and Savior. We went to Sunday school and church every Sunday which was no small feat since we lived six miles from town and the church on dirt roads. When it rained or snowed, those roads had no bottom and were impassable as well as impossible.
On those rare days, we had additional Bible study on Sundays at home. I have never understood why people do not encourage their children to develop a faith, saying that when they get older they can make their own choice of religion.
How on earth can they make an educated decision if they have not been taught in the ways of at least one denomination? Most of our basic beliefs are more alike than different when we really study them.
Every parent I know is caught up in the soccer, football, basketball, dance class, acrobatic class, band or cheer leader rat race and are very busy with taking their kids to and from those activities. I can tell you that the happiest kids are those whose parents are involved in their day-to-day lives. Those parents will never be sorry they took the time to interact with their kids and those same kids look to their parents for sportsmanship, guidance, example and encouragement.
Many kids look to sports figures and Hollywood actors as example for life. Many sports figures are and actors are good examples for our kids, but some of them definitely are not. That goes for all walks of life, not just those in the public eye. All of us adults need to weigh what we do and say and are because some young person is watching us.
My friend, Sandy, leads by example. She makes the most wonderful cake. Here is her recipe:
Fruit Cocktail Cake
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup white sugar
11⁄2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
dash of salt
16 ounce can fruit cocktail (undrained)
1⁄2 cup brown sugar
1⁄2 cup chopped pecans
two tablespoons butter
1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
Beat egg, vanilla and white sugar together. Then add flour, soda, salt and fruit cocktail. Pour into greased 8x8 inch baking dish. Mix brown sugar, pecans, butter and cinnamon and sprinkle on top. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes.

PLATTSBURGH — CVPH Medical Center has handed pink slips to 17 employees.
The layoffs — nine in management and eight hourly staffers — are part of an effort to "help bolster the hospital's financial position in 2013 and beyond," a press release said.
A $400,000 shortfall in revenue is blamed for the move, brought on by cuts in reimbursement, fewer admissions and less use of outpatient services, according to the Plattsburgh hospital.
"This step is necessary in order to help sustain our Medical Center in the future," said CVPH President Stephens Mundy in the release. "Regardless, it is one of the most difficult decisions we have had to make in my 10 years at CVPH."
Those laid off will receive severance pay and health insurance through the end of the year, along with help finding other jobs. Affected areas were across many areas of the hospital, he said.
Mundy said that systemic changes in health care and a number of short-term business-cycle factors worked to undermine CVPH's finances after three of the stronger financial years in CVPH history.
"Over the past several months, we have initiated a number of measures to reduce future expenses," he said. "Physician Recruitment is working to fill positions that opened unexpectedly this year. The pending affiliation with Fletcher Allen Partners will generate additional savings through group purchasing.
"Additionally, there are several new physicians slated to start serving our community next summer."
Mundy believes that CVPH is well positioned for the future at a time, he said, when the health-care industry is at a crossroads and some hospitals will fail.
"CVPH is an excellent medical center that will continue to provide exceptional care for its patients," he said. "Our mission is to provide quality care for North Country residents. That has not, nor will it, change."
The hospital employs more than 2,300. The layoffs represent the elimination of a little more than 5 percent of management and less than 1/2 of 1 percent of hourly staff members.
