The Tribune-Star
All things considered, it wasn't the worst time to be without a working scoreboard.
Lightning on Friday had rendered both scoreboards at Memorial Stadium useless for Saturday night's ninth annual Wabash Valley Football Coaches Association All-Star Game, so the fans on hand got to watch two evenly matched teams go back and forth.
But even though the statistics were even enough, the score wasn't. An opportunistic Gold team, led by a pair of Vigo County players in seemingly unlikely positions, scored in each of the first three quarters and won the game 18-0, posting the first shutout in the history of the event.
Hard-hitting defense was on display all night by both teams — the dozen or so outstanding running backs in the game averaged less than two yards per carry cumulatively, for example — and the first 10 plays of the game netted two yards. But on a third-and-13 play on Gold's second series, quarterback Colin Smith of Cascade dropped back and fired a bomb to Terre Haute North's Charles Dillahunt.
That play didn't set the tone for the game as much as did the ensuing series. Black marched to three first downs, easily the best drive of the first quarter, only to have a sack and tackle for a loss — West Vigo's Danny Creasey contributing to both — force a fourth-and-19 punt.
Gold got a pair of big plays from the passing combination of Sullivan's Payne Fortner to Edgewood's Derek Driver on its next series — a 42-yarder to get the team out of the shadow of its goal posts, a fingertip grab for a touchdown a few plays later — and now the score was 12-0.
And again Black drove downfield, picking up three first downs only to be stymied by back-to-back pass rushes from Turkey Run's Riley Sunderman and North Putnam's Eric Davis.
"We'd just stall out on a drive," Black coach Jim Sullivan of Casey said after the game. "Mistakes. Little breakdowns here and there."
"It's tough coming out here. We've never played with some of these guys," added the Black team's quarterback Nick Gilliam of Greencastle. "From day one [of all-star practice] we made a tremendous [improvement] … but some didn't bounce our way."
Back-to-back interceptions late in the second quarter by Gold's Chris Neidlinger of West Vigo and Black's Luke Clapp of Tri-County (in the end zone) kept the score 12-0 by halftime, and in the third quarter Black again started to march.
Big runs by Jesse Miller of Northview, Gilliam and Dalton Livvix of Casey picked up first downs. A fourth-down option run by Gilliam picked up another, at Gold's 22-yard line.
But Owen Valley's Caleb Arthur snuffed a first-down run, and on third down Gilliam scrambled but only back to the line of scrimmage — a key point since Creasey, who made the stop, needed one more sack for an all-star record.
"I got two [sacks] and six tackles," he said in mock disgust afterward, and he'd gotten the two sacks early. Better known as a Viking running back during the season — although he did see some defensive line action — the 180-pounder found himself double-teamed after that.
On fourth down, Gilliam went to the air, and his pass went off a receiver's hands to Terre Haute North's Vasco Billberry. The All-Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference linebacker was playing safety on Saturday, and he returned the pick 69 yards into Black territory. Two plays later, his Patriot teammate Brother Scank capped the scoring with a 17-yard run.
Billberry added another interception — also off the hands of a Black receiver — in the fourth quarter, and also saw some action offensively at fullback. He caught one pass and also took a handoff, then dealt an option pitchout to Scank.
"I had a lot of fun," Billberry said afterward. "I never got a chance to [play safety] in my conference … and the coaches told me for every turnover, I got the ball [on offense]."
"His interceptions were big," noted Gold coach Brian Crabtree of North Vermillion. "Anytime you win the turnover battle, that increases your chances of winning."
Those last two interceptions were the culmination of what could have been a frustrating night for Gilliam, who had at least half a dozen passes go off receivers' hands.
"That's gonna happen," he said philosophically. "I've had plenty of games where guys were doing diving, one-hand catches for me too."
Miller was the game's leading rusher, while Scank's statistics for Gold didn't reflect his importance — or, as usual, the number of defenders he knocked backward instead of going around them. For his work during the week, he received one of the coaches' choice scholarships awarded by Sir Thomas Automotive.
"I just did what I always do," Scank said. "I knew this was the last time I'd play high school football, so I gave everything I got."
Often banged up during the 2012 Patriot season, Scank also seemed healthy Saturday — including hurdling several tacklers with a spectacular leap in the waning seconds of the first half.
"I felt good all week," he agreed.
"The kids played with really good intensity and great enthusiasm," Crabtree said. "[Winning] capped a great week overall."
"It was a blast," said Creasey. "This was the last time I'll play football, so I went all out. We had the first shutout ever; we made history."
"It was all about fun," Billberry added. "We were here to win and we won."
"They're great kids and they all have bright futures," Sullivan said. "This is a fantastic opportunity for area kids to get a chance to play in this game."
n Other winners — The other coaches' choice scholarship went to Shawn McCown of Casey, while the Pete Varda Hall of Fame Scholarships chosen by players' votes went to Dillon Bell of Terre Haute South and Dante Rehmel of North Central. The 2013 Hall of Fame class of David "Pudge" Bennett, Nick Mourouzis and Dick Ranard helped present those honors.
And for the second straight year the Derek Eitel Memorial Scholarship for academic achievements went to more than one player: Clapp, Matt Schmidlin of Palestine-Hutsonville and Jordan Hahn of Olney all finished their high school careers as valedictorians with 4.0 grade-point averages and were captains of their respective high school teams.
n Injuries — Driver was one of Gold's busiest players, needing to play cornerback in addition to punting and catching passes.
West Vigo's Andy Velazquez suffered a dislocated ankle and broke some bones in his leg during a Tuesday practice — he was in surgery Wednesday and in a wheelchair for festivities Friday and Saturday — and Linton's Koye Kaiser took a big hit on the game's opening kickoff and was sidelined the rest of the night. Either or both could have been in the defensive backfield.
On the other side of the Velazquez coin, West Vigo's Ethan Boatman saw plenty of action at linebacker Saturday — his first game action since being injured in the Vikings' season opener against Evansville Harrison back in August.

The Port Arthur News
The Downtown Renaissance District Board discussed its plans to spruce up downtown Wednesday afternoon, but the board did not seem too eager to share its plans with the population of Port Arthur.
After Chairwoman Judyette Jackson called the meeting to order and checked attendance, she introduced the guests there — Councilmen Raymond Scott Jr. and Harold Doucet and Assistant City Manager of Operations John Comeaux — and questioned the presence of the News.
"Did anyone invite the media to the meeting?" Jackson asked the room. "Anybody know the reason?"
The meeting was held in the city manager's conference room at City Hall, and the City Council created the board. The DRDB is funded by the Port Arthur Economic Development Corporation through an economic incentive agreement, said Floyd Batiste, CEO of the PAEDC.
"We're going to have to ask you to leave," Jackson said. "We don't have anything of importance that needs to go in the paper."
The News was permitted to stay for the duration of the meeting, but Joe Larsen, a Houston attorney, said that the DRDB would likely need to follow the Texas Open Meetings Act based on the nature of the board's operations. Larsen offered his opinion through the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas hotline.
Larsen said that the board would need to post notice of the meetings in a place accessible to the public at least 72 hours prior to the meeting alongside an agenda of subjects to be discussed. No notice or agenda was posted at City Hall, where notices and agendas for council meetings, public forums and other open meetings are usually posted.
The City Council created the DRDB to renovate downtown, according to city Resolution No. 09-520. And the board is scheduled to receive $98,000 from the EDC Oct. 1, the first day of the city's and EDC's new fiscal year.
The board requested that the council adopt the Procter Street Master Plan, a plan to revitalize the area downtown that is bordered by Houston Avenue on the west, Rev. Dr. Ransom Howard/7th Street on the north, Lake Charles Avenue on the east and the ship channel on the south. The council adopted this plan July 24, so it is likely that these plans would be implemented.
Because those drawings were "rubber-stamped" by the council and "real work and decisions" are likely to be made by the board, Larsen said that there was a good argument there for the board to follow open-meeting laws.
The Open Meetings Act requires meetings of governmental bodies be open to the public "except for expressly authorized executive sessions," according to the Texas Attorney General website. Subjects that may be discussed in executive session include legal advice, personnel matters, value or transfer of real property, and prospective gifts or donations to a governmental body.
The Act also requires that the governmental body give the public notice of the time, place and subject matter of the meetings. A "governmental body" includes all Texas public entities at state and local levels and private entities that are supported "in whole or in part by public funds or they expend public funds," according to the website.
"This board was created by the council, and it's time for the council to support what it created," Batiste said at the meeting.
So far, the DRDB had voted to spend $136,000 on engineering services as of July 31, Batiste said.
Terry Fontenot, who owns Terry's Downtown Thrift Shop on Procter Street, said that was a waste of money. He said that money should go toward helping people establish themselves downtown, which would in turn attract big businesses to the area.
Fontenot, 61, bought the building in the 700 block of Procter Street in the hopes of seeing a nightlife develop in the area. It didn't work out, he said. The store opened about a year and a half ago and appeared to be one of the only shops with its doors still open on that side of Procter Street.
Though Fontenot grew up in Port Arthur, he traveled the world for almost 30 years as a professional ballet dancer. When he retired, he came home and opened this store in order to have a source of income.
"It's nice to have people come by," he said.
Fontenot did not think downtown was dangerous and that people needed to realize that their lives were not in their hands when they wandered downtown. He said he could envision a big hotel or parking garage down by the boardwalk, something 20 stories high with a view of the surrounding land.
"You can see everything down there," he said.

When Scandals Embroil Their Own, Democrats Go Silent
Do top Democrats have anything to say about Bob Menendez?
As the scandal surrounding Senator Bob Menendez, D-N.J., grows into a steady drip, drip, drip of increasingly damaging stories for Senate Democrats (following an FBI raid of a top Democratic donor's offices), we learn today that this sordid story extends far beyond the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
In an extensively-reported story, Politico broke the news that the Democratic donor at the heart of the scandal, Dr. Salomon Melgen, also extensively courted other top Democrats, including President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who flew on Melgen's private jet at least once last year. Melgen also donated $700,000 last year to Majority PAC, a Democratic Super PAC that ran TV ads in support of many Democratic Senate candidates in 2012.
Politico noted, "Melgen and his family donated nearly $1 million to Menendez's campaigns and related committees." Unmentioned was the fact that Menendez has used this money in part to spread his own influence in the Democratic caucus by donating to a number of colleagues including, among others, Kay Hagan ($10,000), Mark Begich ($10,000), Mark Pryor ($12,500), Al Franken ($10,000), Tim Johnson ($10,000), Jeanne Shaheen ($7,500) and Mary Landrieu ($5,000).
[See a collection of political cartoons on Congress.]
Perhaps it's not surprising then that, as this scandal has grown in recent weeks—including a front-page report in the Washington Post that a federal grand jury has been convened to investigate Menendez and the biggest newspaper in New Jersey calling on Menendez to step down from his chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee—not a single one of these Democrats has had anything to say. Even Newark Mayor and aspiring New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, who doesn't so much as sneeze without tweeting about it, has been MIA.
Of course, silence by Senate Democrats hasn't always been the case in matters such as this.
In 2006, another influence-peddling scandal shook Washington. Lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who ultimately pled guilty to fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy to bribe public officials, had also donated heavily over the years to a number of members of Congress. As pictures emerged of Abramoff shaking hands at fundraisers with top Republican officials, including President Bush, a number of Republicans, including—full disclosure, a former boss of mine—quickly found themselves on the defensive.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Democratic Party.]
Ignoring the fact that several top members of their own party also benefitted from Abramoff's largesse, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who received over $60,000 in Abramoff-directed contributions, Democrats smelled blood and went on the attack.
Then-Senator Barack Obama even held a press conference where he said that scandals such as this were "Republican sins alone" and that they had "shaken the very foundation of the American people's faith in a government that will look out for their interests and uphold their values."
Senators Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin went further, calling on Bush Administration officials to "fully disclose" all of their dealings with Abramoff. The trio sent a letter in May of 2006 to Bush Chief of Staff Josh Bolten stating that White House "silence on this issue is likely to only further the perception that the American people have yet to hear the full story." Notably, two letters about the matter are still available on Schumer's website here and here.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
But this wouldn't be the last time Senate Democrats loudly went on offense on ethics-related matters, even when the issues in question were far, far less egregious than those surrounding Melgen and Menendez today.
In the midst of a hard-fought Senate campaign in the fall of 2010, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spent million of dollars on TV attack ads across the state of Missouri charging the Republican candidate with being a "Washington insider" and worse, using his position "to insert special favors into bills." And earlier that year, the DSCC even went so far as to use the World Trade Center as a backdrop in a TV ad to claim that then-candidate Scott Brown was a champion of "greed and corruption."
And who signed off on this expensive ad campaign purporting to tout the importance of ethics in Washington? None other than then-DSCC Chairman Bob Menendez.
Updated 11/5/13: Brian Walsh remains a paid adviser to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Sysco -- the giant, often-invisible food distributor -- offers 400,000 products to the bulk of the nation's restaurants and other institutions. It has a 17.5 percent market share, made $37 billion in sales in 2010 alone, and dispatches a cavalcade of silver trucks daily from 180 locations across the U. S.
In other words, Sysco is wholesale food in America, the same way Cargill is farming and Walmart is, well, all of retail. Or, as Salon put it back in 2009, Sysco has "come to monopolize most of what you eat." So when the company changes a policy -- like it announced it was doing on Monday, when it pledged to do away with meat from pigs raised in gestation crates -- there is bound to be a striking ripple effect.
In a statement to the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS), the company wrote: "Sysco is committed to working with its suppliers to create a gestation crate-free supply system, for the good of all. Like many of our customers, we're going to work with our pork suppliers to develop a timeline to achieve this goal."
As their name implies, gestation crates are essentially steel cages that keep pregnant sows confined in a space roughly the size of their bodies. They're commonly seen -- along with battery cages for egg-laying hens -- as among the least humane livestock practices. Animal behavior expert Temple Grandin describes gestation grates as the equivalent of "asking a sow to live in an airline seat" (without lavatory privileges).
Over the course of the last year, thanks to consumer demand, and an ongoing effort by HSUS, most major players in the fast food, grocery, and food service industries have gone -- at least on paper -- gestation crate-free. The list includes Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, Denny's, Carl's Jr., Safeway, Kroger, Costco, Kraft, and Hormel (the maker of Spam). Even Smithfield Foods — the nation's largest pork producer — has agreed to phase out the crates by 2017.
So Sysco can't, by any means, say it's first to make the pledge (and the company has yet to specify a timeline for the switch), but its move might have the largest impact so far on the practices farmers are using on the ground.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Oklahoma's Taylor Schmidt made a clutch birdie at the 18th hole to force a playoff with Grace Na. However, Schmidt, who graduated from OU in the spring, saw her U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links run end when Na birdied the first playoff hole.
"I lost on the last hole to a bird," Schmidt said. "I can't complain. It's how it goes."
She won't go home and sulk over it either. Schmidt said she will be back at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club today to cheer on teammates Anne-Catherine Tanguay and Chirapat Jao-Javanil. She has to because it will be part of her job beginning in the fall.
OU women's golf coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell, who caddied for Schmidt during the event, has hired Schmidt as a graduate assistant.
"I'll be able to get my masters and I'll still be able to play golf," Schmidt said. "After I get my masters, I'll decide whether to turn pro, because I really want to get into coaching as well. Golf isn't done for me."
Talented caddie: Playing at her home course gave Tanguay many caddie options. The one she chose, however, is still years away from being in college. Brad Dalke is on her bag this week.
Dalke is one of the best junior players in the world and has committed to play at OU. However, Dalke won't graduate from high school until 2016.
"We just connected through mutual friends. I knew how good a player he was," said Tanguay, who is entering her senior season in the fall. "I was really lucky. We have a similar style of readying putts and it has helped because we see eye-to-eye."
Dalke lives in Hobart with his parents, but is spending this week with his grandmother in Norman.
"From tee to green, I don't have to do a whole lot," Dalke said. "She knows all the lines and all the slopes on the greens she can play off of. On the greens, she tells me what she thinks and I tell her if I like it or not. If we like it, she's good. If not, we talk about it some more. It's gone really well so far."
In-state ties continues: The two Oklahoma State players who reached match play both advanced Wednesday. Julie Yang rolled to a 4-and-3 win over Lakareber Abe and Kelsey Vines topped Clariss Guce, 6-and-4, to advance.
Kentucky assistant women's golf coach Lucy Nunn is originally from Lawton. She extended her stay in her home state with a 5-and-4 win over Lacey Fears.
Extra holes: Of the 32 matches Wednesday, five needed extra holes to find a winner. Four were decided on the first playoff hole. The longest match of the day went to Cindy Ha. She topped Kaitlyn Papp in 20 holes.

Sabres President Ted Black and owner Terry Pegula have been in meetings inside First Niagara Center most of the day, "running the business of the franchise," Black said. Not once had they brought up the fact it is the one-year anniversary of taking over the club.
"I've spent the better part of the day with him, and I haven't heard him say anything even remotely along those lines," Black said by phone this afternoon.
Although plenty has happened in the last 365 days -- see the story in Thursday's Buffalo News for a full recap -- it's still Day One that is most memorable for Black.
"It really starts with Terry's speech at the opening press conference," the team president said. "I had never heard Terry speak publicly before, and I really didn't know what he was going to say. I tried to pry some of that information out of him the night before, and I really didn't get much out of him other than he said he had about 15 or 20 minutes of material. I thought why, that seems like a really long time.
"I was dumbfounded. Even though Gary Bettman and Bill Daly didn't say anything, I could see certainly in Bill's eyes – and he's probably sat through a few of those speeches of new owners before – that they were really as enthralled as everyone else. How powerful his speech was and how sincere it was and how heartfelt it was was something that really struck me as much as anyone else."
Black says the ownership group has been pretty steady through the first year, accepting the highs and the lows as they come.
"We didn't get too full of ourselves last year when the team went on a nice run and made the playoffs, didn't get too high even during the highs and lows of a seven-game series," Black said. "That's just more how Terry is wired and how I'm wired. Our goal is to win a Stanley Cup, and everything short of that is going to be a disappointment. Not until it happens will we celebrate."

Seen this a couple of days ago,nasty.
18 is way to young to be driving an M5.
Built in Germany, Perfected in England
Dare say this could happen here too, seeing as the only thing that limits the car a youngster can drive is the thickness of their wallet.
Car licences should be graduated, like bikes.
17-21 yo's should be limited to something like 90bhp, tops.
Wouldn't stop the little scrotes speeding in urban areas though.
'02 to '05 - Black Audi A4 1.9tdi sport
'05 to '08 - Akoya Silver A3 sportback S-line DSG
'08 to ? - Black Alpina D3
I dunno that even the 90bhp idea would work - i think it should be down to insurance group and certain cars.
Cant drive anythin over group say 7 till you're 19, then group ten till 21 then whatever you like.
I know some younger people drive powerful cars and are perfectly safe, infact im only 24 myself and had an mr2 turbo at 19, but i honestly wouldnt have minded waiting, knowing a few less people were dying every day

Marion Martha Brown Walsh, 59, of Raleigh, died Monday, June 10, 2013 at Rex Healthcare in Raleigh.
Martie, as she was known to her family and friends, was born in Burlington, NC to the late William Walter Brown and Luzette Callum Brown.
Martie studied abroad at the University of Nottingham in high school, then attended Randolph-Macon Women's College, University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Ohio State University, and received advanced degrees in Art History and Philosophy. She applied her logic and design skills to a successful career in telecommunications software development and marketing at GTE, where she met her husband. She continued in telecom systems engineering for several years after they moved to Raleigh, before leaving to devote herself to raising their son full time.
She was a talented artist, gardener, chef and a terrific mother. Her watercolor paintings reflected her passion for fine art, she was adept at raising many varieties of roses in her garden, and her love of good food was reflected in the delicious meals she prepared daily, culled from the hundreds of cookbooks she collected. She instilled a love of art and cooking in her family and was consulted often by friends for recipe ideas.
Martie also devoted time to volunteer work, including the North Carolina Museum of Art, the Junior League of Phoenix and of Raleigh, Meals-on-Wheels, the JC Raulston Arboretum, the North Carolina Watercolor Society and the Altar Guild at Christ Church. She was a member of The National Society of Colonial Dames of America.
She is survived by her husband of 23 years, Arthur Lee Walsh; son, Eugene Leigh Walsh of Raleigh; and brother, William Walter Brown, Jr. and wife Janet of Burlington, and nephews Walter Callum Brown and William Travis Brown.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, June 15 at 2:00 PM at Christ Episcopal Church, 120 E. Edenton Street, Raleigh, NC 27601. The family will receive friends immediately following the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Christ Church Altar Guild.
Condolences may be sent to www.BrownWynne.com

Spring Denim
On The Runway & Street
While a number of S/S 12 collections featured pale spring denim (we vividly recall a cool oversized vest at 3.1 Phillip Lim and a sweeping long skirt at Balmain), we zeroed in on Acne's runway look when seeking inspiration for today's story. Designer Jonny Johansson's Scarlett Denim Jacket ($440) in Washed Blue and Sabine Frill Skirt (which was sadly not produced, although the label's Sabine Denim Skirt ($270) in Washed Indigo is a similar alternative) echoed a '90s-inspired grunge aesthetic that's utterly on-trend this season! The details in these denim pieces, such as the jacket's wide sleeves and the midi skirt's button-down front, lend both a decidedly unique spin. Paired with the Penny Blouse ($350) in Black and Dandelion Heels ($600) in Orange Glitter (the shoes were only produced in Black and Blue, however), Acne's runway ensemble exudes a laid-back vibe ideal for spring. If, however, the jean-on-jean look is a tad too much for you, Kate Bosworth's stylish getup provides a more pared-down way of wearing the trend. The actress layered a denim jacket over Vanessa Bruno's floral Dress ($300) from the F/W 11 collection (which is sadly no longer available), then finished off her outfit with Chloe's Susanna Studded Buckle Boots ($1235) for a comfortable yet chic look!
On The Market
1. TEXTILE Elizabeth and James Ozzy Jeans ($178, available May 5) in Heaven
It seems like every season we find a new must-have pair of jeans to covet, and this time around, we've got our eye on TEXTILE Elizabeth and James' slightly faded rendition. In a classic silhouette and goes-with-anything light blue wash, we imagine these jeans will quickly become a weekend wardrobe staple, paired with your favorite ballet flats (for lazy weekends) or strappy heels (for nights on the town).
2. Citizens of Humanity Vagabond Denim Moto Jacket ($297) in Vagabond
Quick confession: we have a weakness for moto jackets, as they serve as the perfect outerwear option to inject a little tough-girl edge to any look. That's why we were thrilled to stumble upon Citizens of Humanity's two-tone denim version! This particular style--cropped with three-quarter-length sleeves--is effortlessly chic. We love the idea of teaming the patchwork jacket with white denim and brown leather accents for a polished warm-weather outfit.
3. Free People Rigid Denim Shift Dress ($128) in Hartford Blue
We think Free People's denim shift offers a refreshing alternative to standard date-night attire (i.e. the little black dress or a dressy-top-and-jeans combo) for spring. The button-down mini, featuring subtle white trim and two front pockets, manages to appear both feminine and youthful, while its faded fabrication keeps it from seeming too cutesy.
4. Madewell Denim Wrap Skirt ($78) in Windswept
When you feel like shelving your blue jeans for a day, we suggest picking up this sophisticated Madewell skirt. Though this breezy piece is inspired by '70s-era denim skirts, it's clearly designed for the modern-day style savant! Not only does it come in ridiculously soft denim, the skirt wraps around your waist (you can adjust to suit your preference) and gives you a figure-flattering shape.
5. Cheap Monday Colleen Denim Shirt ($60) in Shifting Light Blue
Cheap Monday's button-down top comes in the palest-of-pale denim washes, and is all the more versatile for it! In our opinion, the cool cotton shirt is an ideal pick for balmy spring afternoons; you can wear it with dark jeans for an all-over denim ensemble, or leave it unbuttoned over a floral frock for a Bosworth-esque getup. As if you needed further convincing, its wallet-friendly price tag is also a plus!
6. Rachel Comey Kiefer Tie-Dyed Canvas and Leather-Trim Slingback Sandals ($370)
If you feel like testing out spring denim in a more subtle way, Rachel Comey's flat sandals are your best bet. A combination of soft brown leather and denim-like canvas, these splurge-worthy shoes offer an understated way of sporting the trend. And because they're sandals, these kicks are easily comfortable enough for beachside strolls, music festivals, outdoor barbeques, and all manner of warm-weather activities!--Tiffany Tse

The Instructions
When the city of Ember was just built and not yet inhabited, the Chief
Builder and the Assistant Builder, both of them weary, sat down to speak
of the future.
"They must not leave the city for at least two hundred years," said the Chief Builder. "Or perhaps two hundred and twenty."
"Is that long enough?" asked his Assistant.
"It should be. We can't know for sure."
"And when the time comes," said the Assistant, "how will they know what to do?"
"We'll provide them with instructions, of course," the Chief Builder replied.
"But who will keep the instructions? Who can we trust to keep them safe and secret all that time?"

TULSA — Arraignment for a 24-year-old man charged with shooting into a crowded Tulsa plaza — wounding a sheriff's deputy and a bystander — has been delayed.
Andrew Dennehy was scheduled for arraignment Monday — but the judge postponed it until Dec. 10 at the request of Dennehy's attorney.
Dennehy faces shooting with intent to kill and firearms charges.
His family and attorney say he's a paranoid schizophrenic plagued by bizarre thoughts and delusions. Prosecutors say he's bluffing and understands the charges against him.
Prosecutors allege Dennehy wandered barefoot into the plaza between the Tulsa County courthouse and Tulsa Central Library on March 7 and fired a handgun — sending people fleeing in panic and injuring a the deputy and bystander.
Dennehy was also wounded when deputies arrived and returned fire.

Nokia Russia's DIY Nokia Lumia stand from every day objects #LifeProTips
Sometimes, over dinner, I watch some videos on my Nokia Lumia 920. Just yesterday in fact my housemate was shocked to realise the sound was coming from the 920 and not a separate speaker due to its clarity.
Anyway, the point is, before I received my flip case (I'll share some pics at another time) It was hard to watch videos hands free (well I still had to lean it against a glass).
Nokia Russia has uploaded this really useful video that shows some household objects can turn into a very simple phone case. I tried the card trick before and that one works really well (it has to be a plastic card, not a card from business cards). That bulldog clip is neat too (a variation on Ali's quadpod bulldog clip trick).

Try ornamental dinner plate display holder
Or, attach sat nav car phone holder and window sucker and stick it on the fridge etc
While I think of it, I wish the 808 could have a software upgrade to turn the phone display upside down when using sat nav so as to place the charging connector at the bottom of the phone. It sounds simple…..
I think I should send snaps of stands I am using with N8 and Tablet.
I always check out this website for iPhone alternatives – http://www.microsoftapple.com – My personal favourite is the Nokia Lumia because of the camera and speed of the operating system.

It wasn't looking like a typical season at Rocky Top when the Lady Vols lost to Chattanooga, 80-71, and then needed overtime to defeat Middle Tennesee, 88-81.
But a complete 102-57 thumping of North Carolina on Sunday shows that Tennesee women's basketball is feeling its way in the post-Pat Summitt era.
ESPN columnist Kate Fagen wrote that with a young and talented roster, the future looks bright for the Lady Vols and that a championship run may not be as far away as some people think.
Check out the highlights of the win over UNC where junior Meighan Simmons scored a career-high 33 points from everywhere on the court -- driving, three-pointers, pull-up jumpers. It was the most points for a Lady Vol since Candance Parker dropped 34 points against Notre Dame on March 30, 2008.

HOUSTON – We are getting a little break from humidity for now, but it will return for the weekend, according to KHOU 11 Meteorologist Chita Johnson.
"Humidity will be low throughout the day into tomorrow morning," said Johnson. "We do have an air quality alert for Harris, Brazoria, and Galveston Counties. If you're a little more sensitive to that, mainly be between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., you may want to stay indoors."
The rain chance goes away until the weekend, and daytime temps remain in the low-90s with overnight lows in the upper-60s and low-70s.
There's a 20-percent chance for rain Saturday and a 40-percent chance for rain Sunday.
Next week the rain fizzles off leaving us with a nice mix of sun and clouds to start the workweek.

Derry News
---- — Special delivery
One of Londonderry's newest residents made a big entrance on Dec. 17.
Little Mac Holleren was born in the back of a town ambulance after his mother went into labor rather quickly.
Town Council Chairman John Farrell called the birth a special "holiday miracle."
Technology rules
With so much technology in the world today, Londonderry town councilors made use of one popular way to communicate during a recent budget hearing.
John Farrell received regular text messages from resident Mary Wing Soares during the hearing. He relayed her questions on the budget to the proper person for an answer.
Season's greetings
The Derry Town Council traditionally does its roll call with members sending out a "good evening" after their name is called.
At the meeting Dec. 18, Councilor Joel Olbricht bucked tradition and sent out a "happy holidays" once his name was called. Councilor Phyllis Katsakiores followed suit with her own seasonal "Merry Christmas."
Moments of silence
Both Londonderry and Derry Town Councils spent a few silent moments prior to their latest meetings to honor the victims of Newtown, Conn., and first responders to the tragedy.
"We pray for all those involved," Derry Town Council Chairman Brad Benson said.
Wily coyote
Londonderry police received a call from a homeowner on Willow Lane last week with a wildlife problem.
The caller reported there was an injured deer in his back yard — and a coyote was circling the hurt animal.
The homeowner asked for an officer to respond and put the deer out of its misery.
Police responded, but reported the deer, which appeared to have a broken leg, left the area under its own power. No word on what happened to the coyote.

Deadbeat parents who try to collect on a winning ticket or cash out after a winning session at Kansas state-owned casinos will have to turn over the money to pay child support debts.
A Kansas House committee is considering the bill that would make state-owned casinos or pari-mutuel racetracks run the names of people who win $1,200 or more through a
child support debtor registry. When a winner tried to cash out, the
jackpot would be taken to pay the child support.
A lawyer for the state-owned casino in Dodge City told the House
Judiciary Committee Monday that the casino supported the goal of
the bill, but noted problems with enforcing it.
The committee agreed to study the bill more before acting on it.

CHAPEL HILL — Millbrooks eight seniors walked to center court together for one last time.
Alex Tomlinson, Mykia Jones, Briana Day, Bria Day, Courtney Best, Brianna Hinton, Katelyn Mitchell and Ryan Flowers huddled together, clutching the 2013 N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A championship banner before being joined by their teammates.
Millbrook sent its senior core out on top Saturday, defeating Greensboro Page 62-56 at the Dean Smith Center for its second consecutive state title.
The Wildcats seniors, all headed to play college basketball next year, wanted to take care of unfinished business before leaving their high school careers behind them.
Two years prior, Millbrook had been on the opposite end of the NCHSAA 4A title game in Chapel Hill.
It won the state championship last year at N.C. States Reynolds Coliseum, but Saturdays win was a two-for-one, allowing Millbrook to repeat as state champs and redeem itself from 2011s loss.
We thought we should have had another one, and to their tribute and their hard work, they dug in and got one last year, Millbrook coach Chris East said. Then I guess I wouldnt let them be satisfied, so we got another one this year, and this ones really sweet. We realize how lucky we are just to make it this far, and I couldnt be more proud of these eight ladies plus the other ones in the locker room.
Millbrook looked to its size advantage early on the Wildcats roster included four players at or above six feet tall. Page had none, rendering Millbrook virtually unstoppable near the basket to start the game.
Sixteen of the Wildcats first-half points were in the paint, as Briana Day and Flowers ran high-low post play throughout the game effectively.
Midway through the second quarter, Briana Day sent a Greensboro Page shot sailing on the defensive end. She sprinted down court to score on an assist from Tomlinson in transition.
The 6-foot-4 seniors play on both ends of the court caused problems for Greensboro. She finished with a team-high 16 points, nine rebounds and three steals, and was named Kay Yow Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year.
Day wiped away tears as she accepted her award after the game.
Its just really emotional, Day said. Its awesome to win it with these girls.
Millbrook had to earn its win, holding off a second-half surge by the Pirates to finish the year undefeated.
Millbrooks 10-point lead after one quarter proved to be enough cushion, as Page outscored the Wildcats 50-46 in the final three quarters.
Were a second-half team, and we showed that tonight, said Page coach Deborah Jones. You take away the first half and we win by three, but at the same time its all about four quarters, 32 minutes. ... But our kids go to work and they dont back down to anyone.
Despite its lack of size against the Wildcats, Page out-rebounded Millbrook.
Pages Paris Kea tried to carry her team with a 31-point effort, 20 which came in the second half.
Though the Wildcats never trailed, they saw their nine-point halftime lead cut to four entering the final period.
In the end, Millbrook banded together one last time to hold off the Pirates run.
Flowers was named Most Outstanding Player for the Wildcats, finishing with 10 points and seven rebounds. Tomlinson added 11 points and four assists, and Mykia Jones scored 15 points.
These are like my sisters, Jones said. We may argue and stuff, but at the end of the day we all have to come together. Im really going to miss these girls next year.

The channel swimmer purposefully added a layer of bioprene as part of his acclimatization process. The channel swimmer ate a box of donuts every morning in order to add to his layer of bioprene.
bio + neoprene or polychloroprene, a synthetic rubber that is used for wetsuits. The term was first coined by Steven Munatones.
Neoprene is the DuPont trade name for its brand of polychloroprene.

A Westmont man behind the wheel of a lacrosse team bus that crashed Saturday near Carlisle died of multiple blunt force injuries sustained in that crash, the Cumberland County Coroner's Office said Monday.
Coroner Charley Hall said Anthony M. Guaetta, 61, sustained multiple body injuries, adding an autopsy did not show signs that health issues were a factor at the time of the wreck.
The Frank Duca Funeral Home, Menoher Boulevard, is handling arrangements for Guaetta, but details were not yet set Monday afternoon, staff at the home said.
Guaetta was one of 23 people on the Seton Hill University team bus when it veered off the Pennsylvania Turnpike and hit a tree.
A pregnant coach and her unborn child were also killed in the crash, state police said.
The accident remained under investigation as of Monday. Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Rob Hicks said it will be weeks before police determine what caused the bus to crash.
One Seton Hall player, Amanda Michalski, remained hospitalized Monday. A Penn State-Hershey Medical Center spokeswoman said Michalski, a freshman from Minnesota, is in fair condition.
Hall said toxicology tests are pending on Guaetta but he described the test as routine.

This scoop it profile by @Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa) includes many useful blogs and articles that aim to teach in the 21st century. This includes learning with the use of technology. What he refers to as the 'iGeneration' includes many useful updates that can be used for both the students and teachers in the classroom. A few i came across that sparked my interest were a description on how to set up a blog with wordpress for teachers, this can be very useful to me as a student now and also in the future. I enjoy D'Amico's profile as he scoops quite interesting topics.
