Trayvon Martin�s supporters pack churches, swarm rallies and wear hooded sweat shirts in solidarity while friends and family of Zimmerman remain largely out of sight. The few that have defended Zimmerman did so reluctantly, most fearing public backlash. (AP Photo/Orange County Jail via The Miami Herald, File)
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — An attorney for George Zimmerman on Tuesday confirmed the authenticity of a new website that allows supporters to raise money for the neighborhood watch volunteer who has admitted to fatally shooting an unarmed black teen in Florida.
All the money raised from the site, therealgeorgezimmerman.com, will go to Zimmerman, said attorney Craig Sonner.
A registry shows that the website was created last weekend.
Zimmerman is at the center of an investigation over the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after following him in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26. Martin, who was unarmed, was black. Zimmerman's father is white and his mother is Hispanic. The lack of an arrest has inspired nationwide protests and some claims of racial profiling, which Zimmerman's supporters deny.
"I am the real George Zimmerman," the website said. "As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life. This website's sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries."
The website said that any money raised will be used to pay for Zimmerman's living expenses and lawyers. A page on the site allows visitors to leave comments and make donations through Paypal or major credit cards.
The site adds that Zimmerman is unable to talk about the case in detail for now so that the investigation can move forward "unhindered."
Special prosecutor Angela Corey is investigating the fatal shooting. The Jacksonville prosecutor announced Monday that she wouldn't present the case to a grand jury, leaving any decision about whether Zimmerman will be charged solely up to her. That decision also eliminated the possibility that Zimmerman could be charged with first-degree murder since Florida law requires all first-degree murder cases to go before a grand jury.
Corey was appointed to investigate the case by Gov. Rick Scott after the prosecutor who normally handles cases out of Sanford recused himself.
"I am grateful to my friends that have come to my aid, whether publicly or personally, never questioning my integrity or actions," Zimmerman said on the site. "Once again, I thank you for your patience and I assure you, the facts will come to light."

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A state Justice Department attorney told the Supreme Court Tuesday that Dale and Leilani Neumann caused the death of their daughter, while praying that she'd be cured.
Assistant attorney general Maura Whelan asked the justices to preserve the 2009 convictions of the Wausau area couple, who prayed instead of getting medical care for their dying diabetic daughter.
11-year-old Kara Neumann died on Easter Sunday of 2008, after getting a form of diabetes that doctors said could have been treated.
Her parents have asked that their second-degree homicide convictions be dropped, claiming that state law is not clear on when a disorder because serious enough to seek a doctor's assistance.
If the justices side with the Neumanns, it would be the first time the state's highest court addressed the issue of faith-healing – and how far it can legally go.
Whelan said praying parents cannot be charged with child abuse – but their religious immunity does not apply when a child dies.

Putrajaya – After a long hard day or racing, Australian Daniel Sprague of Sonik Racer clocked in the fastest time of 01m 07.420s, making him the winner of the downhill Elite men Category beating Singaporean Tan Hong Chun who was in Second place (01m08.270s) and Adam Ahmed of Malaysia in third place (01m:08.500s).
The 2010 Australian Elite Masters Division BMX Champion was ecstatic when interviewed after the prize-giving ceremony, "I was great to win here, everything came together, the run was pretty smooth and I was quite fast in the sections that I wanted to be so in the end there was a lot of quick guys today and I was just happy to be able to be the fastest."
With already two wins this year including the recent Red Bull Dark Knights 2011 race in Singapore, Daniel is enjoying his winning streak and hoping that it will continue.

I hope to be back in Malaysia in July and some races in the end of the year back in Australia, I'm hoping that I can keep this going.'
"My winning streak's been going really well, it's about time that's I've put together a winning streak again, I'm happy to keep it going if I can." He added.

A driver was killed when his truck burst into flames after an accident Tuesday afternoon near the Interstate 10-Interstate 8 split west of Tucson.
All westbound lanes near Casa Grande were shut down for more than five hours, starting around 2:15 p.m., the Arizona Department of Public Safety said. All lanes were reopened before 8 p.m.
The accident was a three-vehicle collision involving a bus, semi truck and pickup truck the DPS said.
According to the DPS, the pickup truck was heading the wrong way on I-10 when the bus hit the pickup. It is unknown where the pickup entered the highway.
Francis Wilkens Gibson Jr., of Casa Grande, 78, was driving the pickup that burst into flames after hitting the bus. Gibson was killed.
According to DPS, "The bus had 16 people onboard including the driver. 9 passengers were injured but none of the injuries are considered life threatening. It now appears the bus driver was not injured. TBC is a U.S. Bus Company registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation. It is believed the passengers were traveling from Mexico to Phoenix at the time of the crash. Two injured passengers were flown to Casa Grande Regional Hospital. The other injured were taken by ground ambulance to the same facility."
Williams said the semi-truck was a Fry's grocery store truck. It was hit but had very little damage.
The crash still remains under investigation.

An increasing number of medicinal products are seized by customs.
In 2006 the Danish Health and Medicines Authority (the former Danish Medicines Agency) took the initiative to build a network against counterfeit medicine both in Denmark and internationally.
The network is made up of authorities, industrial associations and all links in the supply chain.
The network meets regularly to discuss issues related to counterfeit medicinal products to initiate local and cross-cutting precautionary measures.

MISSION—The Mission CISD School Board approved to renew the district's annual license with CSCOPE CORE for one more year. The purchase of $72,000 was cause for discussion due to previous issues with the program.
Executive Director for Secondary Education Maria Del Carmen Garcia explained the purchase only includes framework, which has vertical alignment documents, instructional focus documents and the year at a glance.
"We did base our curricular revisions on this framework and we would like to continue it for one more year," Garcia said. "We will be creating our own framework during the school year."
Board member Patricia O'Caña-Olivarez asked if CSCOPE had been taken off the market, or had issues. Garcia assured only the lessons were removed. Teachers had issues with the lessons not framework documents.
"What are the options if we don't agree on this," Board President Oscar Martinez asked.
Garcia explained the curriculum is based on the CSCOPE framework, so without it the teachers wouldn't have a document to work off of. She added this would be the last year the board would have to approve the purchase of the program, for the 2014-2015 school year CSCOPE will not be needed.
"We should keep this for one more year. It will give us time to build a skeleton," MCISD Superintendent Ricardo Lopez said. "What we are looking at is, the year at a glance and instructional focus documents, which allows us to put a particular order to how we are teaching and it gives a framework for the approach of instruction."
The district saved money in comparison to last year's purchase of the CSCOPE program, which was an estimated $108,000.
The board also approved new staff members in administrative positions that included: Coordinator for Language Arts at the elementary level, Elisa Gonzalez Pacheco; Coordinator for Migrant Services, Arminda Ramirez; Coordinator for Testing and Evaluation, Sandra Garza Cavazos and the new Mission Junior High School Principal, Ana Castillo.
Martinez welcomed the new superintendent, Ricardo Lopez, as it was his first meeting with the district.
"I just want to thank the Mission community for welcoming me with open arms," Lopez said. "It is an honor, and it is very humbling to be part of your city. We will work to let the rest of the area take notice on where the best kids are, and that is Mission CISD."

"First, they are trees, not human beings. I always chuckle about how up in arms some people get over the removal, replacement or whatever of a few trees anywhere... whether it is on Main Street or not. If they present a hazard, time to chip em. Second, I think the cost of replacement at rouhgly $8k is substantial, but the good news is that Jeb Walker received almost that much in illicit pension payments. So, maybe the town should ask him to donate the money to the tree budget. Hah! Fat chance." -

Ship: Sadly to stay, Holland America's ship Nieuw Amsterdam did not meet our expectations. Compared to the ships we've been before, it is a conservative and smaller ship. Other than the NYC chandelier on the smallest atrium we have seen on a ship, it had nothing that visually could stand out or that you would remember.
Food: Most of the time was under seasoned, cold and the waiting time between courses on the Manhattan dining room was more than 20 minutes. The exception was the soups, always excellent and hot! Twice in the same dinner I had to return the food because I asked for a medium steak and they kept bringing me a well done overcooked steak. They got it right the third time after all the people in my party had finished eating their food. Not even in their specialty restaurant, The Pinnacle Grill, did they have it right. I got a bloody rare filet mignon instead of the medium filet that I had ordered. They charge $25 p/p on this "beef specialty" restaurant so the least you can expect is the steak to be perfect. On this particular sailing the food on the Lido buffet was always served by the waiters. You could not cater yourself for the food. Needless to say the portions were very controlled and we even thought that they were running out of food. The Tamarind was a very nice and different restaurant!
Service: Not as expected! The service at the restaurants was terrible. We were left unattended most of the time with empty water glasses, stale bread and no food for longs periods of time. The service at the SPA was terrible as well!
SPA: Watch out for the scam on the Greenhouse Spa Hydro pool and serenity area. We paid $250 per couple to use the Hydro pool and the Serenity areas for a 6 day cruise. After paying for the service, they identified us as qualified users by placing a small navy blue sticker to the back of our room keys. SURPRISE! This same sticker was used for all correspondence, reminders, invitations, etc. that we received on our stateroom daily. In other words, anyone could have placed the same sticker on the back of their room card key for free!
It is a very nice relaxing area but after buying the access, we found that it was highly priced compared to other Holland America sailings. Besides this, they did not have any control whatsoever on who entered the area. Even though they give you an access card to open the door to the pool, because of the Spa layout (the reception area on one side of the ship and the hydro pool, hot stone beds, sauna, etc. crossing to the other side of the ship) people got in and out as they wished and we saw this happen on various occasions. We presented a formal complaint to the Spa manager and she said that it was impossible to have somebody on a full time basis checking on this.
Shows: Besides the Cantare group show and the comedian, nothing else was to stay awake for. They need to improve on entertainment!
GOOD: One of the best things of the cruise was the extremely comfortable bed, ample closet and the most spacious bathroom. We even had a bathtub in our cabin! Great balcony cabin!

OPI + Serena Williams Team Up for U.S. Open!
Written on August 30, 2011 at 4:29 pm , by April Franzino
To coincide with this week's U.S. Open Tennis Tournament, nail polish brand OPI is launching the last set of lacquers in the Serena Williams Glam Slam! Collection: Pros & Bronze, a sparkly pinkish-gold (below, left), and Love is a Racket, a shimmery red/fuchsia hybrid (below, right). We had the privilege of having lunch with Serena herself last week when she introduced the collection—she's absolutely gorgeous in person and has incredible style. See above for a (slightly blurry) shot of us together. Here's what the nail enthusiast—she went to school to become a manicurist!—had to say at the lunch:
"Once I narrow down the color family that I want, I choose a nail shades based on their names—one of the reasons I love OPI is because they have the best names! I love nails because on the court I don't always feel attractive with all the grunting and sweating that comes with playing, so I use nail polish to make myself feel pretty and confident. You can be glamorous and strong at the same time!"
Tell us: Do you wear polish when you're playing sports? Why or why not?

Keeping Up With the Kardashians
Written on July 19, 2011 at 4:31 pm , by Eleanor Langston
Last Monday, I had the pleasure of having lunch with Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian (lucky me!). They're launching a collection of 14 new Kardashian Kolors with Nicole by OPI. The nail polishes are inspired by Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie, and they'll all be available in Wal-Mart stores by this holiday season. My two favorite shades: Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi, an orange-red, and Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam, a deep emerald.
The sisters said that they ALWAYS use the identical color on their toes and fingers, and I thought that was interesting because I never do. What about you guys? Do you rock the same shade for your mani and pedi or do you pick different colors?

Makeover Monday: Polish Up
Written on April 4, 2011 at 10:10 am , by Fitness Magazine
We usually stick to solid polish on our nails, but these funky new trends may inspire us to expand our horizons:
This twist on the classic French manicure has been hot since it appeared on the runway at numerous shows this spring, and the likes of fashion risk-takers such as Rihanna and Lady Gaga have been seen wearing it.
When we saw this outside-the-box nail trend, we couldn't help think of a little spring ladybug (admit it – you see it too!) The flirty and feminine split nail is a fresh way to wear your favorite spring hues. While this, and the half moon above, are styles better left to nail technicians, we think the split nail is definitely worth a salon splurge.
A matte finish is a cool switch from the traditionally glossy nail. A product like Butter London's Matte Finish gives any polish a matte look in one coat.
We usually try to avoid chipping our polish, but the new crackle lacquers actually add a textured, chipped look to nails. We'd layer a crackle top coat like OPI Black Shatter over our regular hue for a fun night out with friends. Which of these nail trends will you try?

text: The Department of Sign Language Studies is dedicated to the humanistic values as coincides with the entire Madonna University mission regarding career preparation and service to others and society based on Judeo-Christian principles as advanced by the Felician Sisters. The Sign Language Studies program incorporates this mission while also making a strong commitment to liberal arts education and the preparation of persons who fill meaningful roles in society as Sign Language specialists. The Department prides itself on bringing together theory and practice to offer a comprehensive program to students.The Sign Language Studies Department recognizes a sociolinguistic and cultural approach to the instruction of American Sign Language. This approach best models the language used in conversation, formally and informally, by the majority of Deaf citizens in the United States. A central mission of the SLS Department is to instill in students a respect for Sign Language as a human right to communicate. This central mission, along with the instructional philosophy of respect for the American Deaf culture and its language – American Sign Language – represents social, linguistic, educational and communicative direction of the SLS curriculum.Established in 1975, Madonna University's SLS Department remains the only bachelor's program of its kind in Michigan. Students develop fluency using American Sign Language and choose from one of two concentrations: Deaf Studies or Interpreting. Advanced topics in linguistics, Deaf culture and sign language studies prepare the SLS Department's graduates for leadership roles as interpreters or others working within the Deaf community. Many graduates seek advanced degrees in education, linguistics, interpreting, social work, psychology and other related fields. SLS graduates have set up their own businesses as freelance interpreters and community referral agency directors providing information to the community about interpreting and deafness related issues. The core SLS curriculum reflects the continued commitment of the SLS faculty to current information and their professional linkages to local, national and international resources. The SLS faculty at Madonna University have backgrounds in education, law, linguistics and interpreting. Our curriculum continues to integrate the philosophy that the use of Sign Language is a human right and incorporates this philosophy into the SLS curriculum and its mission statement.The SLS and BCS departments invite you to view three collaborative projects: ASL Music Videos!In addition, students have developed video guides to describe the linguistic and technical details of each video project.

Lovely look into the Newsweek archive - prompted us to take a trip into the Guardian archives for that same week.

EPA''s WaterSense Label Available for
Product First Commercial Building
While current federal standards set the maximum allowable flush volume at one gallon per flush, an estimated 7.8 million urinals in use today are older inefficient models. In addition to using no more than a half gallon per flush, urinals bearing the WaterSense label must meet EPA's performance requirements, ensuring they work as well or better than standard models.
In addition to businesses, schools can save by switching to WaterSense labeled urinals; a college with 10,000 students that installs WaterSense labeled urinals in its classroom buildings will save each year enough water to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
All WaterSense labeled products are independently tested and certified to meet rigorous criteria for both efficiency and performance. To ensure satisfactory performance, urinals will be tested for flush effectiveness and other measures before they can earn the WaterSense label.
The urinals will be available across in the country in a few months.
WaterSense is a partnership program sponsored by EPA to protect the future of our nation's water supply by promoting and enhancing the market for water-efficient products and services.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - How does the pay for school superintendents in Branch County stack up against other districts in the area and statewide. The Mackinac Center for Public Policy Wednesday released a new online database that provides detailed compensation data for every conventional and intermediate school district superintendent in Michigan. The searchable web tool also includes links to individual superintendent contracts.
Michael Van Beek, director of education policy at the Mackinac Center, said while compensation for superintendents only amounts to about 1 percent of public school spending, the public should have easy access to the information. According to Van Beek, as CEOs of districts and often the highest paid government employee in a local community, superintendent pay deserves an extra level of public scrutiny. While many school districts make some of this information available on their websites, this database makes it easy to compare pay across districts. 570 superintendents are listed on the site.
Topping the compensation package of local superintendents is Coldwater's Dr. Tina Kerr at $189,000 and 102nd on the list. B-I-S-D Superintendent Joe Lopez listed at 195 with compensation of $165,000. Union City is listed at $156,000, Bronson $152,000 and Quincy $115,000. The district with the highest paid superintendent in the state is Utica at $300,000. Kalamazoo is third at $280,000. This new database is part of the Center's Michigan School Databases project that includes links to every school union contract, district-level funding and spending statistics and an apples-to-apples high school achievement database that adjusts test score results based on socioeconomic factors. The superintendent compensation database can be found at http://www.mackinac.org/depts/epi/salary.aspx. Linda Wacyk of the Michigan Association of School Administers noted that the local decisions made on superintendent contracts take several issues into account and can be hard to compare district-to-district. She also noted that the Midwest, as a region, ranks second behind the Rocky Mountain States for having the lowest-compensated school superintendents. Of the Midwest states, Michigan superintendents, on average, are the lowest paid. "I think the taxpayers are getting a deal, quite frankly," Wacyk said. "It's a CEO Job in what is, in some communities, the largest endeavor. It's the largest food service provider. It's the largest transportation system. They supervise the most employees.

Benton & Franklin Counties' Manufacturing Industry Doubles Over Past Five Years
Published in the April 2011 edition of the Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business
by Mary Hopkin
April, 2011
Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business
Linda Vasquez of Manufacturing Services in Kennewick holds two circuit boards next to each other and carefully studies them, comparing each tiny filament, wire and weld.
For 32 years, Manufacturing Services has been crafting circuit boards and doing mechanical and electronic assemblies for Mid-Columbia companies like ESTeem Wireless Modems, Bruker Handheld, PNNL and Cadwell Industries.
Manufacturing Services is a small, family-owned company that makes a big contribution to the Mid-Columbia economy.
According to statistics provided by the Washington Department of Revenue, the Gross Business Income of manufacturers in Benton and Franklin counties reached more than $612 million in 2010. In addition, the manufacturing GBI in the counties has doubled since 2006, when it topped $304 million.
And those numbers don't tell the entire story, said Mike Gowrylow of the Department of Revenue.
"The information is based on manufacturers with a mailing address in (Benton and Franklin counties) – and generally where they are based," he said. "It will not include businesses that are headquartered somewhere else but may have a facility in these counties."
Food manufacturing is the largest segment of the manufacturing industry in Benton and Franklin counties, accounting for nearly $265 million in 2010, compared to $97 million in 2006.
But computer and electronic product manufacturing came in second, with those companies collecting more than $116 million in gross business income last year, compared to about $88 million in 2006.
Chemical manufacturing came in third, with $68 million in gross business income last year, compared to about $3.5 million in 2006.
John Vicklund, president of Impact Washington, a nonprofit manufacturing (organization), said manufacturing is a vast industry with many different sectors, so encapsulating information of it as a single broad industry is difficult.
"It covers everything from aerospace to food processing – and each sector is doing differently," he said.
Vicklund said that during the recession, 2008-2009, many manufacturers "hunkered down," – holding onto status quo. But according to a survey completed by Impact Washington last fall, the state's manufacturers seem a little more optimistic.
"Companies have started to look around and say, 'we see some stability, don't know that the economy will recover to where it was before but we aren't going to wait for someone to provide a solution; we are going to see what we can do to grow our biz,'" he said.
Michael Brown, owner of Manufacturing Services, said in 2007, his company had its best year up to that date – but things slumped in 2008 and 2009.
"Customers had inventory and weren't moving it as fast," Brown said.
So they weren't calling as often to order new components.
But the phone started ringing again – in earnest – in 2010.
"From 2009 to 2010, we saw 60 percent growth and beat our previous record by 20 percent," said Brown, who has added 11 people to his staff since 2007, bringing his total number of employees to 33.
Brown doesn't expect that kind of growth this year, but he isn't pessimistic either.
"We could easily grow by 10 percent this year," he said. "We've got a few new smaller accounts."
Vicklund said the health of the state's economy ties directly to the health of the state's manufacturing industry. And his organization is working hard to help small manufacturers grow.
Vicklund said much of that new growth could come from outside the country.
"One of the things we are working hard on right now is helping companies that are domestic suppliers become exporters," he said.
Vicklund said that nationally only 2 percent of companies export and in Washington, 4 percent of businesses send products overseas.
But Gov. Chris Gregoire wants to increase the number of companies that export by one-third over the next five years. She has tapped Impact Washington to help meet that goal.
"We have received grants to help companies that only sell domestically to help them look at potential markets for their products and see if they can't align themselves with other markets," he said. "Our intent is to identify 100 companies this year that don't currently export and work with them. By the end of the year, we want to have 35 of them exporting."

BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO) -- After four years in the cold case file, the 2007 death of a four year old Battle Creek boy has generated new charges against the original suspect in the case.
In fact Adam Markos was just one day away from going on trial for the death of four-year-old Dominic Munoz 5 years ago when the prosecutor dropped the charges, vowing to re-file when new evidence or new science made it possible to prove the case.
A new prosecutor, David Gilbert says he has some new evidence that will be presented at Preliminary Exam.
Defense Attorney Tom Schaeffer says he has witness testimony and evidence that will implicate someone else in the crime.
The boy, who was the son of Markos' ex-girlfriend, died from blunt force trauma and doctors say he also showed healing injuries from previous abuse when he died in August of 2007. The 30-year-old Markos is being held without bond on a charge that could get him life.

Living Big in a Small Space: Timothy Mather
Toronto's 2009 Interior Design Show is coming up. One of the seminars being held there for design professionals is called "Living Big in a Small Space", and it's led by Toronto interior designer, Timothy Mather.
While most of Mather's work is in spaces that are large and luxurious, his portfolio does include some incredible small-ish spaces. We would be willing to wager that his tips on living big in small spaces include "bold color" and "bold pattern". See some of his work after the jump...
Our bathroom has one angled wall like the one pictured above. We scorn it and wish it were square. But we see in this photo that the use of bold prints and a mirrored wall take the focus off of the slant.
We've never seen hot pink used in a kitchen but we love it as shown below, with the burgundy and dark wood finishes. It's lush and over-the-top, but we admire this bold move and think it's well executed here:
Is anyone attending the show (from February 5 - 8)? Get more info at Interior Design Show and see more of Mather's portfolio at TM Design LTD.

I love that pink sofa.
i love love love reds in deep, subtle patterns. check out these coordinating laptop skins as well... chocolate floral tapestry laptop skin and berry floral tapestry laptop skin
That rich pink is almost too much...but in a Bollywood-tastic wonderful way. I wouldn't want it for myself, but it's certainly striking and bold. Fun stuff.
The pink room is beautiful! so romantic!
I like both pink wallpapers. I am going to the IDS09 and will assist to the Design Trends by the Minute Talks.

Heartbreak and hope at sub-district track meet
Published on Fri, May 21, 2010 by
By Jerry Huls

The midseason expectations that Blaine would dominate the 2A state track and field meet in the pole vault events for both boys and girls, took a bitter blow at the sub-district meet May 14 at Civic Field. Brett Mattson, holder of the best jump in his classification and still nursing a second-degree ankle sprain incurred at the Oregon Relays last week, was unable to qualify for the district tournament that is the route to the state tournament.
Mattson and two-time defending pole vault champion Robin Taylor were the prohibitive favorites to win titles in the event. Taylor won the sub-district title with a jump of 11-6.
Mattson believed he could jump well enough to just qualify and then retire to let his ankle heal for a week before the district meet in Sultan next week, but scratched in his final jump unable to get a good take off with his injured ankle.
"It is what it is," said a somber Mattson, "I knew my season was over when I sprained my ankle." "It was unfortunate," commented Blaine coach Mike Grambo, "He is an outstanding vaulter. I'm glad he will be back for next year."
There was an unexpected surprise for Blaine, as two vaulters will be joining Taylor in Sultan next week.
Sophomores Shaypher Hendricks and Andrew Dahl both qualified for districts with personal records.
Hendricks qualified at 11 feet and Dahl, who has shown steady improvement all season, posted a jump of 12-6 besting his previous high of 12 feet.
"I'm excited. Fourth place qualifies me for districts," gushed Dahl, "I think I can get 13 feet if I just practice this week."
Blaine's other area of domination, girl's sprints were not without drama and injury. Cherish Morrison, who set records in the preliminary heats this week in the 100 and 200, struggled with painful cramps in her calf.
After winning the 400m run, Morrison could be seen in visible pain as she was being attended to on the infield by trainers. Despite limping visibly between races, Morrison went out and easily won the 200 with a time of 25.27, only a tenth off the meet record she set Thursday.
Other individual qualifiers were Penina Laolagi in the shot put and discus, Tucker Morgan, who finished second in the triple jump, Caleb Statham in the sprints, Tom Bradley in the 3200, Ephraim Westbrook in the 300m hurdles and Kiersten Sigfusson in the 400.
The girls 4x200 relay team of Taylor, Sigfusson, Rachel McKinstry, and Morrison finished 2nd to sprint rivals Sehome with a time of 1:46.67. The 4x100 girls team of Sigfusson, McKinstry, Taylor and Libby Moore qualified despite finishing a distant fifth behind Sehome's winning time of 50.49
The boy's 4x400 relay team trimmed seven seconds off their previous best and now has the third best time in the state. The boys team will be attempting to return to state and try to match their state runner-up finish from last year though the injury to Mattson will be a setback.
"We don't really have stars like Cherish (Morrison) on our boys team," said Grambo, "however, we still are a strong team. I'm very proud of their 10-0 record this year."

There were two surprises about Chris Moody's commitment to Vanderbilt on Sunday.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder from Henry County High School pledged to Vanderbilt after taking an official visit to the SEC school this weekend, according to ESPN.
The first surprise was that Vanderbilt beat out South Carolina, which was considered the longtime frontrunner for Moody. He also took official visits to Central Florida and South Florida.
The second surprise was that Vanderbilt may let Moody play QB. That was his high school position but many schools – including Vanderbilt, at first – recruited Moody as an "athlete" to play WR or DB.
"I think Vanderbilt is an outstanding academic institution and that coach James Franklin does a real good job up there," Henry County coach Mike Rozier said. "So I believe Chris will proper in both area, academically and athletically, by playing in the SEC under James Franklin.
"Chris is a phenomenal athlete. At first, Vanderbilt was recruiting Chris as a DB or safety. But when they saw more of his highlight tape, they were like 'Wow. Holy Cow. We might give him a shot over there on offense.' Chris is so versatile. He's a guy who can play QB, slot WR, DB and safety."

Elliott to be at Dillon Friday
By Phil Kornblut
USC offensive line coach Shawn Elliott has already landed a commitment from one of Dillon's big two offensive linemen for 2013 in DJ Park. Now, he's focusing on Bryce King and will be at the school Friday. King picked up offers this week from Tennessee and Virginia Tech. He also has offers from Clemson, LSU, North Carolina and NC State. King said Thursday night Clemson offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell has taken over recruiting his area for former assistant Kevin Steele, and he talked on the phone with Caldwell Thursday night. Tennessee was by the school earlier in the week. King said he will attend Clemson's junior day January 28th, one at Tennessee in February and the junior day at USC. He has no favorite, and he said Park's commitment to USC does not affect him though they have talked about playing together. King said he would make his decision about midway thru his senior season

Congrats to this kid – hope he has a very successful career.
I do not think we offered him yet, but we were certainly on that path.
Big Dawg – pretty bold talk from a fan of a school that has lost the last 2 games played against South Carolina – with Garcia as the QB.

This is the dogs time of year, ask any pup fan, they are likely national champions every February. Don't ask them when was the last time they beat a good team, 2006?, 2005?

NO, the Mike Rozier at Henry County High School is NOT the Mike Rozier of Nebraska lore. Different race for one thing. By the way, Rozier was fired at Henry and they're still interviewing to fill his vacancy. Rozier should land somewhere soon, too good a coach not to!

Great decision. Although the Chickens try to say otherwise, USC has no tradition, AND a terrible academic history with their football players. Vandy has a program on the rise and one of the best educations in America. That degree is worth a lot

Great decision. Although the Dawgs try to say otherwise, UGA is on the downswing, AND a terrible history of underachievement with their football players. Vandy has a program on the rise and one of the best educations in America. That degree is worth a lot

USC is loaded at DB…and QB. Good luck at Vandy. At least he will not have to compete.

We love baseball. We love the Red Sox. Nothing else explains the wonderful, wacky reception the Sox received Monday in their 113th home opener, a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
You can insult the fandom. You can treat people as if they are imbeciles and win 69 games. You can produce the worst season in a generation (47 years). You can offend the sensibilities of smart people. It doesn't matter. Give us a shred of hope and we are hooked.

Old Orhei is a historical and archaeological complex, located in Trebujeni, at 60 kilometres (37 mi) north-east of Chişinău, on the Răut River.
Old Orhei contains traces of different civilizations, including a Geto-Dacian fortress (6th-1st centuries. BC. Oe.) Fort Golden Horde Shehri al-Jedid or Yangi-Shehri (second half of AD 14th century.) Orthodox monasteries (c 14th century.) And the Moldavian town Vechi (15th-17th centuries) The ancient city Old Orhei - a unique natural and historical complex in the open air. It organically combines the natural landscape and vestiges of ancient civilizations.
As a result of enormous archeological excavations here there were discovered the cultural layers of different epochs such as - the Paleolithic, Eneolithic, and Iron Age. The culture of Geto-Dacians of Early and Late Middle Ages is represented by the rests of earthen and wooden fortresses of Geto-Dacian period and the traces of two medieval towns - Shehr al-Djedid town of the Golden Horde period and the Moldovan town Orhei.

Well, we almost got a look at the new Raptors Monday night. While the team laced 'em up for their first preseason game, the team's two biggest offseason additions, Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas, saw injuries keep them out of action.
However, there was still plenty to watch and dissect, the biggest being the aggressive play of DeMar DeRozan. Dwane Casey has left no room for misinterpretation that DeRozan is expected to make his living at the free throw line this year. For a guy that can't hit three-point shots, getting to the line is an absolute must if he wants an even halfway decent efficiency mark (which is important because he's not going to be offering a lot of playmaking or defence).
Against Real Madrid on Monday night, DeRozan was unmistakably aggressive, getting himself to the line nine times and making six of his attempts. He even had two turnovers on drives when he carried the ball trying to turn the corner (it looks like his handle still has some kinks to be worked out), so even when he was making mistakes they were aggressive mistakes, at least on the offensive end.
On the defensive end, DeRozan had his issues. While he walked away with three steals, he was called for four fouls, most of which came as a result of him getting beat either off of the dribble or in transition. The foul trouble isn't such a concern, but the fact that DeRozan was still caught flat-footed, both on his man and in help situations, is troubling, although hardly worth sounding the alarm over in the club's first taste of game action.
If you want something troubling to pick apart, take a look at Andrea Bargnani and Ed Davis. Bargnani had some nice aggressive moves himself, but he also settled for a lot of lazy mid-range jumpers (he shot 5-16 on the night) and too often, the offence came to a screeching halt when he got the ball. Worse, his help defence did not resemble the aggressive, attentive play that he demonstrated in his much-vaunted early season performance from last year. His rotations were often late and he just lacked that fire that had everyone so excited last December.
The disappointment over Davis is different, mostly because it looked so familiar. While Davis got 10 rebonds in 18 minutes of action (he'll always be a stellar rebounder with his instincts), he managed only three points on an 0-2 shooting night, and he shot just 50% from the stripe, despite everyone talking up his newly reworked shooting mechanics. Davis also seemed no better equipped to handle himself down in the paint, failing to establish or hold position and picking up five fouls in his limited playing time.
This isn't a question of will or effort, Davis was battling, but he is still finding his way in the post in the NBA. After all of the praise that Davis received in training camp, one expected to see a much more polished player take the court, instead a very familiar player was presented. It's the first game of the pre-season, though, and again it's hardly a cause for panic, plus his rebound rate is so strong that there will always be minutes for him in the rotation.
On the whole, the team looked exactly like they should have in their first pre-season matchup. They were sloppy with the ball (16 turnovers) and the faster pace that Casey covets came and went (they only managed six fast-break points), but they held Real Madrid to just 41.8 per cent shooting and got themselves over the 100-point threshold despite an off-night from Bargnani.
John Lucas proved to be an effective sparkplug that got the second unit running with a bit more urgency, and he and Terrence Ross proved that there may actually be some three-point shooting to throw at opponents this year (both shot 2-3 from behind the arc).
This was a very incomplete look at the squad, too, with Lowry and Valanciunas out, but it will be interesting to see how the club develops over the next few games, now that they've set a sort of baseline for everyone's expectations.

My expectations for Blunderbuss rode pretty high as I started to take my first listen. I mean, here is the first solo effort from a man who has been a huge figure in the music scene of the last 10 years. Finally, after six albums with The White Stripes, two with The Raconteurs, two with The Dead Weather, and countless production credits and guest appearances (ranging from Black Milk, to Loretta Lynn, to The Rolling Stones), I get my first taste of Jack White unrestricted by existing image and talent, and unhindered by other creative minds (like that of the excellent Brendan Benson, co-star of The Raconteurs).
The result of his unshackling?
Its fantastic.
There's the consistency of his lyrics. The first single, "Love Interruption," is a fantastic example of his wordsmithery. He somehow finds that balance between poetry and catchiness, and between darkness and celebration that so many artists spend their entire lives searching for, and he finds it on virtually every song. His words won't feel unfamiliar to Jack White fans, but there's an earnestness to them that feels new. You won't find any of his White Stripes weirdness here (as with something like "Baby Brother"), and you won't find the folk-rock, epic bard of The Raconteurs either. He sticks with personal experience and keeps it simple, and in this down-home style there's something very refreshing. There are moments where he seems to be on the verge of writing 'just another pop-rock-love song,' but he's masterful enough in his craft that he keeps any apparent angst appropriately reigned in.
Then there's the music. His years performing, writing, and practicing seems to culminate on this album. The guitar work is some of his best to date; it isn't virtuosic, surely, but every solo overflows with soul, and if The Dead Weather proved one thing, its that the man can hit the drums (begging the question, "why is Meg White," but that's a whole other essay). The truly impressive thing about the album musically speaking, isn't the drumming or the guitar work though: its the album's diversity. He really cuts loose, hitting every genre from his own trusty brand of garage rock (on "Sixteen Saltines") to honky-tonk ("Trash Tongue Talker"), to folk ("Love Interruption") to tunes with echoes of hip-hop and soul ("Freedom at 21") to country ("Blunderbuss"). Furthermore, he somehow manages to do all this (and more, but I don't want to ruin all the surprises for you) without sounding scattered or incoherent, and therin lies the rub on this piece. Its hard to classify, but distinctly Jack White's, and if it takes him another decade to release another solo album, I think it will be worth the wait.

Indian Territory Beans
Comment on this recipe
I concocted this casserole while living in the Southwest U.S.
16-ounce bag red or kidney beans
12 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 pound lean ground beef
1 large green pepper
1 large yellow onion
8 ounces of your favorite brand of salsa
Clean, rinse and sort beans, then place them in a 3- or 4-quart heavy-duty pot and allow to soak overnight in three inches of cold water. After soaking, place the beans over medium heat and bring to a boil. Allow them to simmer for one hour, being careful to stir them frequently. Add salt and pepper to taste.
While beans simmer, brown the ground beef in a skillet. Dice onion and pepper. When beans have cooked for one hour, pour them into a large mixing bowl and blend in the ground beef, onion, pepper, cheese and salsa.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour the mixed ingredients into a well-greased 9x12-inch casserole dish and bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown on top. Makes 12 servings.
