Coach Gene Stallings, of Powderly, Texas, received his bachelor of science degree from Texas A&M in 1957. While at Texas A&M, Stallings was a member of the famed Junction Boys under head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. In 1956, he helped the team finish 9-0-1 and capture its first Southwest Conference championship since 1939.
Shortly after helping Alabama win the 1964 national title as an assistant coach, Stallings was named the head coach of his alma mater, coaching from 1965 to 1972. Under his tenure, the Aggies won the Southwest Conference title in 1967.
The Board of Regents voted unanimously on March 8 to rename Clark Street, which is located west of the Memorial Student Center in front of Cain Hall and connects Kyle Field with the MSC. Stallings was appointed to the Board of Regents in 2005 and retired his seat on Feb. 1. The new signage for Gene Stallings Blvd. will be erected today.

UCI Coaching/Support Application
If you are going to be a team manager, coach, mechanic, soigneur, director sportif, etc for a UCI race, you will need a UCI Support Personnel license. Whether or not you will ever be asked for one is up to the commissairs and UCI personnel at the race. You may never be asked for the license. If you do not have the UCI support personnel license, the UCI commissair/official may not allow you in the caravan. USA Cycling cannot be expected to issue a license on short notice. Please submit the paperwork at least 4 weeks prior to the event.
If you are not involved in a UCI event in a team manager or team coach role, you would NOT need a UCI personnel license. This is not a UCI racing license. All UCI licenses expire on December 31 of the year of issuance.

Lobelia siphilitica. Great blue lobelia is native to the eastern United States and was used medicinally by Native Americans.
This beautiful herbaceous perennial likes moist soil and partially sunny to shady areas. True blue flower spikes, 2-3' in height, emerge July to September, attracting butterflies and maybe even a hummingbird to the garden! When lobelia siphilitica is happily growing in optimum conditions it will self-sow and naturalize.
Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before planting outside in the early fall or sow seeds directly into the garden. Gently press the seeds into the soil and do not cover as they need light to germinate. Keep moist until they germinate which will be in about 3 weeks at 75 degrees. When the plants are well established they may be propagated by division in the spring or fall.
USDA Zones 4-9.
Heirloom seeds are collected, cleaned and packaged by hand at Mount Vernon.

A ruling in Walworth County could expand the Department of Natural Resources' authority in locating new municipal wells.
The court decision involves the Walworth County community of
East Troy and neighboring Lake Beulah. Other communities at odds over water rights are watching the ruling, expected in a couple weeks.
Residents of the upscale Lake Beulah say the D-N-R should be
allowed to consider potential damage to area streams, lakes and
wetlands if East Troy is allowed to construct a nearby
shallow-aquifer well.
East Troy is looking for a freshwater source away from its gas
stations, a landfill and industrial areas.
Communities in southeastern Wisconsin are tapping into aquifers
near lakes and streams as clean sources of drinking water.

The state is spending more on K-12 public schools than it did last year, yet school districts are adjusting their budgets to account for state cuts.
Republican leaders boast of expanded education spending, while Democrats lament public schools on starvation diets.
A new front in the fight over state education spending has developed in the last few years. It all has to do with where opponents set the starting line.
Arguments over how much schools won or lost with a $7.9 billion budget has outlasted the legislative session and will likely flare up next year and bleed into political campaigns.
Traditionally, a new budget is measured against a projection made by the governor's office and state agencies of how much it would cost to maintain the status quo for another year, without adding or deleting programs.
Information in legislative budget documents measures new budgets this way, adding and subtracting money in relation to what's called the "continuation budget." By that measure, the state's $7.9 billion K-12 budget represents a 1.5 percent budget cut.
Republican leaders prefer to talk about year-over-year appropriations. By this measure, the education budget is up 4.8 percent, or $361 million.
Comparing the actual year-by-year bottom lines is more useful, said Terry Stoops, a director of research and education studies at the John Locke Foundation.
"Last year's budget is more of an apples-to-apples comparison than using the continuation budget," he said, because the continuation budget is too much of a mystery.
"There are too many questions whether it is a reliable indicator of what we should be spending," he said.
Tazra Mitchell, a policy analyst with the N.C. Justice Center, agrees that the continuation budget isn't a reliable measure, but for a different reason: The baseline is eroded from years of cuts.
Education spending has not kept pace with the growing student population, she said, and the current K-12 budget is about $534 million less than pre-recession 2008 spending, when adjusted for inflation.
"It's evident that we have a lot more kids to educate, but funding hasn't kept up," she said.
The governor's office decides what to include in the continuation budget. This year, continued spending on textbooks and instruction supplies were not included in the calculation, which lowered the budget estimate.
Local school districts use information from the state Department of Public Instruction to help write their own budgets – information that's used to develop the continuation budget. When the state budget falls short of expectations, districts have to adjust.
Philip Price, chief financial officer for the state Department of Public Instruction, expects state per pupil spending will drop this year.
School districts across the state are getting less than expected, and they're trying to figure out how to fill the holes.
"They didn't get enough to fund the growth or continue what they had last year," he said.
Wake schools estimate a $5.5 million shortfall in state money.
The Durham school budget is facing a $4.2 million cut, which translates to 204 jobs lost, spokesman Chip Sudderth said. Many school boards act to limit the impact of state cuts. Durham school officials have not yet decided how they will respond.
The state schools budget includes some major cuts, with the $120 million cut to teacher assistants one of the biggest. But it also includes some new spending: $9 million for school resource officers and panic alarms, $5.1 million more for Teach for America, and about $18.6 million to pay for an elementary school literacy program pushed by Senate leader Phil Berger.
The budget also frees school districts from some restrictions on how they spend state money. Districts will be able to use the money they get for teachers and school administrators for other purposes, though they cannot use the money to hire more central office administrators.
Stoops of the Locke Foundation said schools can use this new freedom to direct money toward their priorities.
"I think the districts will be able to decide the best use of funding for personnel, class sizes and what their instructional needs are," he said.

Arts Centers Registration Dates
Many Arts centers are proudly inviting you to register for one of the new format art classes now available. Registration dates have not changed and can be found online on many websites. Some of you are already used to these schedules, while others may be new to them: therefore art classes will take place as mostly, between January - February and February - April, with a spring session between April and May. Rest assured registration dates have been and are likely to remain the same, therefore you may register well in advance; no unexpected change will intervene about the registration dates and you will not be put in an awkward position. The experience of years and years speaks.
Registration dates are so flexible that you can organize your schedule in due time and make the appropriate changes in order to be able to attend all classes. Since the number of places is limited, you may want to start filling in the online registration form as soon as possible, including the correct interval when you are willing to participate. Do not forget to mention your age and experience in the appropriate fields. Online registration is not, however, your only option: you may as well print out the form or pick it up at any center and send it via mail. Still, most people prefer to save time and they choose the online registration, which is fast and easy.
Check out as many pages over the internet as you can to find out details about the registration fees, how much it is and where you need to pay it. You can choose between painting classes, jewelry classes, sculpture classes, photo classes and many others. There are even glass sampler classes and kumishimo classes. You may choose between beginner classes, intermediate level classes and advanced independent classes.

ZF-1737: Zend_Mail_Transport example for multiple mails per connection
The example here doesn't work http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp does not even have connect() or disconnect() methods!
The transport itself automatically creates a connection when sending the first email -- it provides no mechanism for doing so beforehand.
Perhaps the example should include something like the following:

$tr = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp;

Kevind 9 - 10 May 2009

Lovely Hotel. Cool style and great service. Breakfast extras, from the Chef Myself and My partner only stayed for one night, but this hotel made a good impression on us. We particularly remember the service and also the design element of the foyer, and bar area. It has a beautiful entrance, and a welcoming staff, both in the bar and in the reception. We found the staff there to be very accommodating. Whilst not being the cheapest hotel in Sorrento, it is also far from the most expensive, and I consider it good value for money, if you would like to stay in a hotel that sets itself a high standard of excellence. The rooms are extremely comfortable, and with all mod cons at your disposal. From the modern bathroom fittings to the flat-screeen television, mini bar, and again, a tasteful sense of design, made this a very comfortable stay for us. Breakfast was lovely. We appeciated that it was not over excessive, whilst giving a good choice of cereals, fruit, coffee, teas and the usual hot and cold fare. Also there was a good choice of locally baked confectionary. Again, the little extras here, are a treat for those who don't expect the attention to detail with the breakfast menu. Finally, on checkout, we were able to use the business centre, and also leave our bags for later collection, as we made our way along further along the Amalfi coast. I would not hesitate in recommending The Hotel Plaza, Sorrento. It is well situated in the central area of Sorrento, and within short distance of the sea front.

Valpo Falls to Oral Roberts
Sunday, October 13, 2002Oral Roberts scored a pair of goals late in the first half on its way to a 2-0 shutout of Valparaiso on a cool Sunday afternoon at Eastgate Field.
Jessica Kellogg found the upper right portion of the net from 20 yards out on the left side, deflecting off of Kristen Templin's (Madison, Wis./Middleton H.S.) fingertips of her outstretched arms for her seventh goal of the season to put the Golden Eagles in front 1-0 at the 36:10 mark.
Oral Roberts struck again just before halftime as Jodi Kirkhuff took a cross from Kellogg and headed it home from five yards out to finish off the scoring at the 41:38 mark.
The Golden Eagles dominated the offensive chances in the first half, outshooting the Crusaders 10-2. Valpo turned it around in the second half, outshooting Oral Roberts 9-4. Templin made six saves between the pipes for the Crusaders, while Kellie Fenton made four saves for the Golden Eagles.
Valpo had three corner kicks to Oral Roberts two, but the Golden Eagles outfouled the Crusaders 26-13.
Valparaiso will return to action on Friday afternoon when the Crusaders travel to Bowling Green for a 3 p.m. CDT match.

{exploring flooring}
Hi there, I really love all of the different flooring options that Ruthie used in a home that is featured in the latest issue of Veranda. I still love that little cube number tile in the bathroom (wish I could see more of the flooring) and I love that she had the floors painted in that bedroom...hmmm.
Anyway I have flooring on my mind in a big way. I need to make some decisions and it is not as easy as I thought it would be. I am having to stretch and get creative to find something that is both pleasing to myself, my husband and our bank.
Well if you follow me on Instagram (full_house101) then you may have noticed some of the below tiles I snapped a picture of while I was out and about. I still am loving the concept of cement tile but boy oh boy some of those hand painted porcelains are gorgeous. So I must admit that I had a 14 year old young woman that I get the teach at church set me up on Instagram...I am too illiterate for Twitter and too overwhelmed by Facebook but this whole Instagram speaks my language. I really have enjoyed using it. Do you use it?
Oh and how was your weekend?

Eight. This number represents intense suffering, a river of tears and an endless succession of sleepless nights. This also happens to be the average number of times in an hour that I have given serious thought to skipping town and joining the circus. And as we were clued in yesterday by Doogie Howser, M.D., this is also the number of teeth that Danny has slicing through his gums.
Dr. Howser also informed us that teething can cause loose stools, low-grade fever, an interruption in sleeping patterns and a ticked off baby. I have been enlightened! Teething causes a miserable child!? And here I thought he'd been irked by the most recent job report. I wasn't sure, but now I know. It's not the state of the economy, it's his teeth.
What's the big deal about teeth anyway? Enough people have figured out how to gum their way through a surf and turf that we should have figured out by now that this teething business is not only overrated, but completely unnecessary. And this is obviously why God invented food processors, so that those who are tooth-challenged may enjoy the same opportunities as those who are fully toothed.
I'd much rather pop in a set of dentures for my little guy every morning than to deal with a miserable toddler in distress, especially without the ability to indulge in alcohol. Yet another reason why moms of toddlers should wait until their first child graduates college before considering hopping back aboard the pregnancy train. I know experienced moms can empathize with my suffering. It's a wailing, screaming, kicking, sippy throwing, head slamming, punching, open-handed pimp slapping, throwing random objects at strangers in the grocery store, sleep depriving, hair pulling, dog abusing, food protesting, jolly good time. And experienced moms also know, this perpetual hell happens over and over and over again, until your battered toddler has a mouth full of tiny pearly white razors. And then if you have more children, you get to experience the joy of teething times 20 all over again!
I wish I could've written a post on how to survive this ninth circle of toddler hell instead of just complaining about it. But to be honest, I don't have all the answers. I give him his infant tylenol, some teething tablets, sing him one of his favorite jams - I've Been Workin' on the Railroad, or play an episode of Backyardigans as a futile attempt to distract him from the pain. If none of the above work, water ice or freeze pops are a more immediate and desperate solution. But desperate times calls for desperate measures, because a teething totzilla hopped up on sugar could make even a honey badger tremble in hiding under his honey badger bed.
Of course, I try to save the sugar loading method to when Danny is headed out to his grandparents' house for the day. Sorry mom and dad. Love you guys.
In the meantime, I pray and I scream and I cry that it ends just as quickly as it came. And I'm sure that by now, the neighbors are likely thinking the same.
Please, help a sista' out and share your teething remedies!

GALVESTON, Texas -- A Houston man convicted of fatally shooting a 79-year-old woman outside a Southeast Texas courthouse last year has been sentenced to death.
Jurors who convicted 42-year-old Bartholomew Granger last week of capital murder in the death of Minnie Ray Sebolt deliberated for a little less than two hours Tuesday before deciding to send him to death row. Their other option was a life prison term with no chance of parole.
Granger admitted he opened fire on his daughter outside the courthouse in downtown Beaumont in March last year but insisted he did not kill Sebolt. She was a bystander walking outside the courthouse, where Granger's daughter had testified against him in a sexual assault case. Granger's daughter survived but was in a coma for three months.
GALVESTON, Texas -- A Houston man sentenced to death for a shooting spree outside a courthouse has been restrained by at least seven guards after he began yelling as the daughter of his victim was addressing the court.
A jury Tuesday issued 42-year-old Bartholomew Granger the death penalty for killing 79-year-old Minnie Ray Sebolt outside the courthouse last year in downtown Beaumont. Sebolt's daughter, Deborah Ray Holst, was reading a statement later Tuesday when Granger yelled, "I'm sorry your mother is dead! I didn't kill your mother!"
The judge ordered he be taken from the courtroom and gagged. He was brought back with a cloth covering his mouth. But his outbursts continued and a bailiff used his hands to cover Granger's mouth. At one point several guards were needed to subdue him.

By JEFF MEYERS
---- — PLATTSBURGH — A diagnosis of congestive heart failure need not be a life sentence if a person is determined to manage the condition properly.
Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart has been damaged or is weak. It is a chronic condition that cannot be cured, but doctors have many treatments at their disposal to keep it from worsening.
"Heart failure is not a disease in itself but a syndrome that can be caused by disease," said Anne Laramee, a clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner for Cardiology and Palliative Care Services at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.
"It occurs when a heart problem causes the heart not to pump the way it should or it doesn't fill as well as it should."
The heart is an intricate muscle with many working parts that have to mesh for it to operate properly. Electrical impulses controlling the heartbeat may misfire, causing problems with how blood is pumped through the body, or the heart itself can hold too little or too much blood, which can impact its ability to pump.
"Heart failure is a common problem, and it is increasing," said Laramee, who spoke in Plattsburgh recently as part of the CVPH Medical Center Community Lecture Series.
"For people over 40, there's a one-in-four chance for developing heart failure."
Congestive heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization for people older than 65, Laramee told the several dozen people in attendance at the Warren Ballroom on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus.
Also, up to 44 percent of those people admitted to the hospital with heart failure are readmitted within six months of the first hospital stay.
"There are a lot of things we are learning today that can help prevent (those kinds of hospital statistics)," she said.
Two-thirds of heart-failure cases are caused by coronary heart disease, she added.
Heart disease can be inherited through genes, and it can develop over a person's lifetime.
Fletcher Allen's Cardiology Unit, which now works collaboratively with CVPH Medical Center, has developed a program called FACES that addresses many of the symptoms of congestive heart failure and how to combat them.
Fatigue, activities becoming more reduced, chest congestion, edema or ankle swelling and shortness of breath are the five focal points of FACES, Laramee explained.
"Your heart is not giving your body what it needs," she said of the origin of these symptoms. "We spend a lot of time and money finding ways to reduce and prevent these symptoms.
"Early recognition of symptoms is important," she stressed. "The number one thing that causes hospital admissions is that patients are not telling their providers about having these symptoms. We'd rather have patients call us, so we can treat the symptoms and prevent a return to the hospital."
There are several kinds of medications that can alter the heart rate or reduce blood pressure and thus affect the increased severity of symptoms, Laramee said.
There are also many other options that can help alleviate symptoms, including the use of diuretics to reduce fluids and the use of pacemakers and other technologies to support a proper heartbeat.
Patients with congestive heart failure can remain active if they have control of these symptoms, she stressed.
"Exercise is important and will help you live longer," she said. "Let your body be your guide (in determining how much exercise is appropriate). When you're active, you should be able to talk normally.
"If you can't, slow down or stop."
She also recommends anyone who has had heart failure to work closely with cardiac rehab facilities, which help educate patients on the best options for exercise and nutrition.
Another important self-help tool is to check weight daily. When problems start to develop, the body holds onto fluids longer, and that means a sudden increase in weight, which should signal a call to the doctor.
Reducing stress and anger are important in long-term treatment, as well. Also, having a solid support group can help a patient get through some of the more difficult times.
"How long do I have?" Laramee said of the number one question that is on people's minds when they're diagnosed with heart disease.
"That's difficult to answer, difficult for practitioners. People want to know that, but it's a discussion that is not always happening."
Patients need to be proactive in asking those questions to allow for advanced-care planning, she added.
"Be an active participant in your health care, contact your practitioner (when symptoms arise), limit your salt, weigh yourself daily, exercise," she said.

I'll speak in a more detail on the 2002-2010 performances, since I think the 1992-1998 skating belonged to a different time with different technical level and requirements.
Totmianina/Marinin (2006) - Technically superb, almost ideal SP+LP. IMHO their Snowstorm is the second best SP ever skated at Olys. Amazing synch, speed, posture and edges, jump elements consistency - all this makes them stand out. Some would say they are unemotional - but I'll say - go and try to skate 2 clean programmes at Olys, and smile as wide as you can. I don't remember any other gold medallist doing that at Olys in pairs since Rodnina . Though I also find their LP not a romantic piece telling a story of Romeo and Juliet, and this is not my favourite programme that they ever created, but again - under all that pressure they managed to skate without visible effort and did not pretend what they were not in order to gain additional presentation points. BTW, I'm sure had they skated the same way they did in Torino, 4 years later in Vancouver - they wouldn't have had any competition as well.
2 - Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze (2002) - Amazingly beautiful SP+LP. One slight mistake in LP + the best pairs SP ever. I will not spread further praise to them - all is well known
3/4 - Savchenko/Szolkowi (2010) - Probably the most difficult and intricate programmes of all the mentioned pairs. Their potential was huge. But surprisingly - even with that bad execution - they were in their own league. I would have put them 1st after the SP in Vancouver.
4/3 - Pang/Tong (2010) - The Chinese never had the skating skills of the 2 Russian pairs or the Germans, and their programmes though solid and aimed at highlighting their strengths lose in comparison with S/S, but they were cleaner in LP. I am not sure if they deserved an overall victory. Frankly speaking I don't see a pair like P/T in one row with Olympic champs as B/S, G/G, M/D... But they won the LP in 2010 fairly, and I would have put them 3rd after the SP, this would have guaranteed them the win, that I'm not so excited about, but at least that would be fair; and I also would have placed them 3rd overall in Turin.
5 - Sale/Pelletier (2002) - Never they were my favourite couple, and I have a pretty formed attitude towards the whole 2nd GM story, but compairing their Olys performances with the rest in this time frame - I'd say they were not the worst. Both SP ans LP skated with confidence and no visible errors (I don't count their final pose fall as a big deal). Pretty simple, but confident and clean - not the worst Olympics scenario
6 - Shen/Zhao (2010) - I don't like the programmes they skated this year. The same overemoting and O faces, no matter what the music is. I prefer "robotic" T/M who try to skate clean, expressing emotions with actual skating, posture, etc.. instead of learning how to emote with face properly. Overall, not the best performances in their career, with low speed, poor (to their own standard) ice coverage, etc. They had it much and much better! But considering their age and devotion to the ultimate goal - they surely deserve respect.
7 - Shen/Zhao (2006) - My favourite programmes of S/Z! Very sad they did not skate them at 2006 worlds - I was hoping to see them again. Unfortunately - too many mistakes, but the programmes were gorgeous. I would have had them 2nd overall at that Games.
8 - Shen/Zhao (2002) - A clean SP and a messy LP. Very ambitious and risky 4throw, but as a result - nothing close to their success a year after. BTW, I would have put them 2nd, slightly above Sale/Pelletier after the SP.
9 - Zhang/Zhang (2006) - The SP that I really liked (Led Zep. and all..), and a disaster of a LP. No speed, no artistry.. I don't know how they managed to grab the silver actually, I would have put them no higher than 4-5 place overall.
As for the 1992-1998 performances, Ill probably rank them as:
Mishkutionok/Dmtriev - 1994
Gordeeva/Grinkov - 1994
Mishkutionok/Dmitriev - 1992
Kazakova/Dmitriev - 1998
Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze - 1998
Bechke/Petrov - 1992
Woetzel/Steuer - 1998
Brasseur/Eisler - 1994
Brasseur/Eisler - 1992

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Valpo Returns Home Saturday; Hosts IPFW
Related Links
Thursday, December 16, 2010
Valparaiso (6-4, 2-0 Horizon)
Game #11: Saturday, Dec. 18 - 7:05 p.m.
IPFW (7-2, 2-0 Summit League)
Athletics-Recreation Center (5,000) - Valparaiso, Ind.
Next Up in Crusader Basketball: Valparaiso returns home to the ARC in an attempt to get back on the winning track as it hosts IPFW Saturday evening.
Last Time Out: Despite holding a 13-point lead with 16 minutes to play last Saturday evening in Toledo, Ohio, Valparaiso had to overcome a five-point deficit in the final minute to force overtime and then couldn't rebound from a similar hole in the extra session, dropping a 75-72 decision to Toledo. Cory Johnson led all players with a team season-high 25 points.
Following the Crusaders: Every game this season will be available on the Valpo Sports Radio Network, with Saturday's game broadcast live on WAKE (1500 AM, Valparaiso), WEFM (95.9 FM, Michigan City) and WJOB (1230 AM, Hammond). Todd Ickow is back for his 19th season on play-by-play, while Adam Amin will handle the color commentary Saturday. The live audio will also be available at www.valpoathletics.com, with live video through the Horizon League Network and live stats available on the official Crusader website as well.
Head Coach Homer Drew: One of only a handful of coaches at the Division I level coaching on a floor named in his honor, head coach Homer Drew is the seventh-winningest active coach in D-I men's basketball. Drew enters Thursday's game with a 354-297 record in 21 seasons at the helm of the Crusader program and a 623-419 record in 32 years overall as a head coach.
Series Notes: Valparaiso owns a 7-2 advantage in the all-time series over IPFW, a series which just started in February of 2004. Valpo is 4-1 against the Mastodons at the ARC, but IPFW has won the last two meetings between the two squads, including a win two years ago in the last matchup at the ARC. Last year in Fort Wayne, the Mastodons overcame an 11-point deficit with six minutes to play to defeat Valpo, 75-72. Brandon Wood led all players with 23 points, while Cory Johnson added 22.
The Road Ahead: Valpo has a quick turnaround before their next contest, traveling to Oakland to play in the Lou Henson Award Tournament beginning Monday against Eastern Michigan. The Crusaders will take on either the host Golden Grizzlies or Rochester College on Tuesday, and then return home after Christmas to close out the 2010 calendar year at the ARC against Ball State on the 28th.
Scouting IPFW: The Mastodons enter Saturday's contest at 7-2 overall and on a six-game winning streak, but are on the road for the first time since Nov. 23. IPFW is outscoring its opponents by over 11 points per game and has four players averaging in double figures, led by 14.7 ppg from Ben Botts. Frank Gaines adds 13.2 ppg and a team-best 7.1 rpg.
Crusaders Match Attendance Record: Welcoming a top-20 team in Purdue to the ARC proved to be a formula for a packed house on December 7. The game officially sold out four days in advance, and Tuesday night's attendance was announced at 5,432, matching the all-time attendance record at the ARC, first set on Feb. 5, 2008 when Valpo hosted a top-10 Butler squad.
A Return to Home Cooking: Saturday night's game marks just the fourth appearance at the Athletics-Recreation Center this year for the Crusaders, who will eventually play nine of their first 13 contests away from the friendly confines. Valpo is currently 2-1 at the ARC this year and is now 227-101 (.692) all-time at the ARC, including a 181-42 (.812) mark over the last 17-plus years at home. Valpo has also finished above .500 in each of the last 17 seasons at home.
Breaking Out the New Gear: The Crusaders unveiled their new uniform design December 7 against Purdue, and also debuted gray uniforms in the nationally-televised contest. The grays will serve as alternate uniforms, mainly for use on special occasions, while Valpo will continue to wear white jerseys at home and gold uniforms on the road.
No Coast-to-Coast Games: In all eight of the Crusaders' Division I games so far, there has been at least one lead change. Valpo has trailed in all four of its D-I victories, twice by double digits, and has led at some point in all four of its losses. In fact, seven of those eight games have featured second-half lead changes, including three within the final five minutes.
Locking Down Late: Valparaiso trailed 58-44 Dec. 2 with 8:40 to play at UIC, but the Crusader defense locked down the Flames over the final 13:40 of the game, allowing UIC to score on just four of its last 21 possessions. Then at Loyola Dec. 4, the Crusaders held the Ramblers scoreless after a free throw at the 8:37 mark to play for the next 6:51, forcing Loyola into ten empty possessions in a row.
Really Late Rally: Valparaiso trailed by five points with 48 seconds to play in regulation Saturday at Toledo, but Brandon Wood helped force overtime with a 3-pointer, steal and fast-break basket in a 16-second stretch to tie the game. It was the first time the Crusaders have overcome a two-possession deficit in the final minute of play since Feb. 1, 2007 against Oral Roberts, when Valpo trailed by six with 41 seconds to play and forced overtime.
Working Extra Time: Valpo's overtime contest at Toledo last Saturday marked the second overtime game for the Crusaders in a ten-day span, as they also played extra time at UIC on Dec. 2. The last time the Crusaders went overtime prior to UIC was on Nov. 24, 2008 in the Virgin Islands against La Salle.
Early Start Benificial This Year: All four years the Crusaders have been in the Horizon League, they have played an early December league weekend. This year's road sweep at UIC and Loyola was the second time in four years Valpo has started 2-0 on the road in early play, joining the 2007-2008 squad, which won at Wright State and Detroit to start the league slate.
Coming From Behind: The UIC game marked the third time in a four-game stretch that the Crusaders had erased double-digit deficits in relatively short order. At Ohio, the Crusaders trailed 31-16 with 4:11 to go in the first half before going on a 16-0 run to go into the half up a point. Then, against Northern Colorado, Valpo trailed by as many as 12 in the first half and by 10 with 4:08 to go in the opening period before going on an 18-6 run over the next 6:12 to take the lead. At UIC, a 10-point deficit with 4:47 remaining was negated by a 10-0 spurt over the next 3:46.
Defense Winning Games: It's a simple concept, but the Crusader defense this season has led the way in the Valpo victories. The Crusaders are a perfect 6-0 this year when surrendering fewer than 70 points. In addition, Valpo won three straight games over Texas A&M-CC, UIC and Loyola despite not scoring 70 points in any of the three contests, the first time in nearly four years it has accomplished that feat.
Bringing Home the Hardware: Valparaiso captured the Upper Division Championship at the Las Vegas Invitational with victories over Northern Colorado and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. It marked the first time the Crusaders had won all of their games at a tournament site since November of 2007, when Valpo defeated Maryland Eastern Shore and Austin Peay on South Padre Island at the SPI Invitational.
A Big Victory: Valpo easily handled Purdue North Central Nov. 18, limiting the Panthers to just 44 points in a 98-44 victory. The 54-point margin of victory ties for the sixth-highest differential in program history, matching the winning margin in a 66-12 win against Chicago Tech back in the 1920-1921 season.
Offensive Explosion...: The Crusaders lit up the scoreboard throughout their season opener against IU Northwest, scoring 59 first-half points and adding 52 second-half points. A short-range flip up and in by Cory Johnson with 5:49 to play put Valpo over the century mark as it utilized the third digit on the scoreboard for the first time since a 105-73 win over Longwood on Jan. 7, 2006. The 111 points matched the most the Crusaders have scored in the last 15 seasons as well.
Followed By Struggles: But Valpo's second game of the year, at #7/6 Kansas, wasn't quite so smooth on the offensive end. The Crusaders' 27.4% field goal percentage was their worst performance from the floor in at least a decade, while their two 3-pointers was the lowest since hitting just two treys against UMES Nov. 23, 2007. The 44 points was Valpo's lowest offensive output since Dec. 2, 2008 at Cleveland State (42).
Valpo Tabbed Fourth in Preseason Poll: Valparaiso was picked to finish in fourth place in the Horizon League preseason poll conducted of the league's coaches, sports information directors, and media members. The Crusaders tallied 312 points in the polling. Butler, the reigning national runner-up and last season's regular season and tournament champions, was a unanimous selection atop the league standings. Detroit edged out Cleveland State as the second pick, while Milwaukee and Wright State were picked fifth and sixth, respectively. Green Bay, Loyola, UIC and Youngstown State rounded out the polling.
A Look Back at 2009-2010: Valparaiso improved throughout the 2009-2010 season, closing the year with 15 wins. The Crusaders went 10-8 in league play, finishing in a tie for fourth place in the Horizon League regular season standings. It marked the second time in Valpo's first three seasons as a Horizon League institution that it had finished in the top half of the standings.
A Lot of Production Returns: Having lost just one regular and three players in all from last year's squad, Valparaiso returns the vast majority of its production from last season. The 10 letterwinners, including four starters, who return for the Crusaders in 2010-2011 comprised 82.8% of the team's scoring and 91.2% of the team's rebounding from a year ago.
Wood Named Preseason First Team All-League: Redshirt junior guard Brandon Wood was one of five players named to the preseason Horizon League First Team All-League squad as announced in mid-October. Wood, the league's Newcomer of the Year and a Second Team All-League honoree in 2009-2010, led the circuit in scoring at 17.7 ppg a year ago, while his 565 total points tied for ninth-most in a single season in Valpo history. Also an NABC All-District 12 Second Team choice, he ranked among the league's best as well in 3-pointers per game (1.8, 6th) and free throw percentage (.813, 7th).
Johnson a Second Team Honoree: Fifth-year senior forward Cory Johnson also earned a spot on the preseason All-League Second Team after receiving Second Team and All-Newcomer Team honors last year in his first year with the Crusaders. Johnson averaged 15.6 ppg and 5.8 rpg a year ago, good for fourth and eighth among Horizon League players, respectively. He connected at a 55.6% clip from the floor, second-best in the league and 20th nationally, and hit better than half of his three-point attempts as well.
Oh Captain My Captain: The Crusaders will have a pair of captains for the 2010-2011 season. Cory Johnson and Howard Little will serve in the role, each for the second straight year.
Sun, Fun and Basketball: This year's Crusader squad got the chance to bond as a team with a preseason foreign trip to Cancun in August, the first time Valpo has taken advantage of the chance to take a preseason trip. The Crusaders got 10 days of practice in Valpo before taking off for Cancun with all 13 players, including newcomers Jay Harris and Kevin Van Wijk. While down in Cancun, Valpo won all four games, including a come-from-behind 102-84 win over Pioneros de Quintana Roo, which finished third in the 20-team LNBP last year.
Johnson Keeps Scoring: Fifth-year senior Cory Johnson posted the highest offensive output by a Crusader to date this year last Saturday at Toledo. Johnson knocked down 11 of his 21 shots from the field and added three free throws for a season-best 25 points, the fourth time in the last two seasons he has scored at least 25 points. Johnson now leads Valpo in scoring (15.0 ppg) and is second on the team in rebounding (4.9 rpg) after pulling down a team-high seven boards Saturday.
Wood Fills It Up Quickly: Redshirt junior guard Brandon Wood had a pair of quick scoring spurts that kept the Crusaders in the game against Toledo. Wood scored five points in a 16-second span and also came up with a key steal to completely erase the Rockets' five-point lead in the final minute of regulation, and then scored five more points in an eight-second stretch late in overtime to give the Crusaders a shot to tie at the buzzer. Wood ended the game with 17 points and now is second on the team with 14.3 ppg on the year.
Filling Up the Stat Sheet: Wood has shown this year he can do more than just score, consistently putting up solid numbers in the rebounding and assists departments. Most recently, Wood pulled down five rebounds at Toledo and also dished out a game-high six assists. The redshirt junior currently ranks among the league's best in both assists (4.3 apg, 2nd) and assist/turnover ratio (2.15, 3rd), while he also is tied for third on the team with 4.6 rpg.
Broekhoff Shines On Both Ends: Sophomore Ryan Broekhoff put together a stellar performance on the defensive side of the ball in front of a national TV audience Dec. 7, rejecting a career-best four shots against Purdue. Broekhoff now ranks fourth in the Horizon League with an average of 1.8 blocks per game. At Toledo on Saturday, he scored in double figures for the sixth time this year, putting up 12 points against the Rockets. Broekhoff currently is also among the league leaders in 3-point percentage (.432, 3rd) and field goal percentage (.544, 5th).
Doing the Little Things: Senior guard Howard Little was named to the Las Vegas Invitational All-Tournament Team for his performances in a pair of Crusader victories in Vegas, and has continued his stretch of good play since Valpo's return to the Central Time Zone. He currently is one of four Crusaders in double figures in scoring (10.4 ppg) and leads the team in both rebounding (5.0 rpg) and steals (1.5 spg). Little's .607 field goal percentage is good for second in the Horizon League, as he has hit at least 50% of his field goal attempts in seven of Valpo's first ten games.
Kenney Gets the Start: Sophomore guard Matt Kenney got the start at point guard last Saturday at Toledo and put up solid numbers across the board while playing a career-high 38 minutes. Kenney grabbed four rebounds, dished out a season-high five assists and also came up with three steals on the defensive end.
Crusaders Ink Edwards to NLI: Valparaiso men's basketball head coach Homer Drew announced Nov. 13 that Richie Edwards of Hillsborough [Fla.] C.C. has signed a National Letter of Intent during the early signing period and will join the Crusader program for the 2011-2012 campaign. Edwards, who will have two seasons of eligibility left when he joins the Crusaders, was a First Team All-Conference selection for the Hawks as a freshman, averaging better than 16 points and seven rebounds per game. A product of Lakeland H.S., he was named the Lakeland Ledger Player of the Year as a high school senior, leading his squad to the regional finals while posting 17.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per contest.
Quickly: Freshman guard Jay Harris knocked down three first-half 3-pointers at Toledo, his first makes from behind the arc since connecting on one at Ohio ...

WACO, Texas – The Bedlam hangover hit the Oklahoma State football team hard on a blustery Saturday against Baylor.
The Cowboys fell behind early and had troubles rallying against the Bears, who topped the Pokes 41-34 at Floyd Casey Stadium.
"When you give up big plays and turn the ball over, you really minimize your chances of winning – especially on the road," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "When you play on the road, give up another of big plays, it's really difficult to come back and win if you are playing a really good team and obviously Baylor is really good on offense. We just never could get over the hump right from the first quarter."
It was the OSU offense that sparked the early Baylor rally when Clint Chelf threw a pick-six midway through the first quarter for the first touchdown of the game. It sparked a run of three straight touchdowns for the Bears, who led 24-3 before OSU's first touchdown – a 1-yard J.W. Walsh run at the start of the second quarter.
"I turned around, there was a guy right there and Josh (Stewart) was the guy we were trying to get the ball to and I tried to just spit it out to him," Chelf said. "I couldn't really get much behind it and that guy made a good play."
The Cowboys got the game back to within a touchdown on their last possession before the half, but Baylor responded with a 8-play drive to make it 31-17 at halftime.
Oklahoma State's defense came out better in the second half, despite being put in a tough situation by the special teams. Baylor took the opening kickoff after halftime 71 yards to the OSU's 26-yard line. However, the Pokes prevented the Bears from picking up a first down and the kick attempt by Aaron Jones was wide.
The Cowboy defense found themselves with their backs against the wall again early in the fourth quarter as Baylor moved the ball down the field. The Bears went for it on fourth-and-1 from the OSU 5-yard line, and the Cowboy defensive line was able to prevent a successful quarterback sneak to force a turnover on downs.
The problem the Pokes had all game was slowing down the Baylor offense. OSU didn't force Baylor to punt until there was nine minutes left in the contest, with the Cowboys trailing 34-20.
"We couldn't get off the field," said OSU defensive coordinator Bill Young, whose defense allowed Baylor to convert 9 of 17 third down chances. "There were several opportunities in third-and-long, third-and-medium and we didn't get off."
Any chance for a late Cowboy rally was slowed when Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk ripped off a 76-yard touchdown with five minutes to play after OSU had cut it to a one-touchdown game on a 4-yard Walsh touchdown run. The run put the Bears over the 200-yard plateau for the third straight game and their second 300-plus-yard game in the past three games.
"We were just giving up too many yards on first down. We knew going into the gave that they were the type of team that was very explosive," Young said. "You can't give them second-and-2. You're in second-and-2 you make it hard to get them off the field."

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Dear Readers,
In light of the recent tragedy in Steubenville, Ohio, we just want to reiterate how important it is to always know who your kids are with, what they're doing and where they are. We feel that all male and female students should see the short YouTube video put out by students at the University of Oregon.
As we have mentioned before, some parents allow under-aged children to consume alcohol in their homes. Although we don't know anything at all about the parents in Ohio, we are hoping that parents who do allow this will realize the seriousness and tragic possibilities that could occur. You are not your child's friend — you are the parent.
Since both prom and graduation seasons are upon us with celebratory activities, please don't be naïve and think these situations can't happen to you and your family.
Q: My oldest daughter is a senior in high school, and she has told her dad and me that a group of her girlfriends are going to get a hotel room after the prom. She has been invited to join them. We are not entirely comfortable with this and just wondered what your thoughts are. Are we being too old-fashioned?
— Jan, south
Oklahoma City
Dear Jan,
This is a difficult question to answer because all kids, and combinations of kids, are different. We realize this is a popular thing to do. Do you know these friends and their parents? Is there a deposit required at the hotel for damages? Will anyone be checking on them? If they aren't of legal age, who is reserving the room for them? Will there be alcoholic beverages?
We have known many students over the years who have done this and had a great time. There are those who would abuse the privilege — and have. You said this is your oldest daughter, and we are assuming your oldest child. Remember that whatever you do for this one will be setting a precedent for those to come.
You also said that you and Dad aren't really comfortable with this plan, and we feel you should always follow your instincts. You have them for a reason.
Perhaps a solution would be for a few parents to also get rooms and stay in the same hotel to make sure guidelines are followed. Not that anything of the same caliber will happen, but we hope you read the paragraph above about Steubenville, Ohio. Those parents didn't think anything tragic would happen, either.
Please send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com. Sally and Jeannie are certified school counselors with 49 years combined educational experience.
Jeannie has two children, Sally three. The responses presented don't necessarily reflect the views of any certain school district.

There was no 'man' behind the tuning of these and this is evident in the final product.

Here are the nominees for this week. As always, if we've missed someplace, please tell us in the comments and we'll add it ASAP.

And if you own or manage one of the businesses in our contest, be sure to "Claim" your listing; this allows you to customize the information that appears on our site, and to thank your loyal customers for the five-star ratings they give you.
