ROME -- Roma needed two late goals to beat visiting Torino 2-0 Monday and bounce back from its derby loss to Lazio.
Pablo Osvaldo converted a penalty in the 71st minute after the goal-line referee intervened to overturn the initial decision by the main match official. Miralem Pjanic doubled the lead in the 86th with a shot from the edge of the area that deflected in off a defender.
Torino coach Giampiero Ventura was sent off shortly after the penalty for excessive protesting.
Roma moved into sixth place, 12 points behind Serie A leader Juventus.
Torino remained three points clear of the relegation zone.
The match was held Monday because the Stadio Olimpico was used for Italy's rugby test with New Zealand on Saturday.
Roma lost the derby 3-2 eight days ago.

By M.D. Kittle at Watchdog.org
MADISON, WI. – Charging that there has been a "pattern of disingenuous behavior" from University of Wisconsin System officials following an audit that found the system had hundreds of millions of dollars in reserve, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on Friday pledged the Legislature will freeze university tuition in Wisconsin.
"This is an issue that deserves further examination," the Rochester Republican said in a statement. "At a minimum I can assure parents and students that we will freeze tuition for two years across the UW System."
Vos pledged an investigation of the UW System's finances that will "ensure that every aspect of Wisconsin government is responsible to the people."
Republican lawmakers want answers in the University of Wisconsin System surplus scandal, with Speaker Robin Vos calling on freezing tuition for two years.
Last week, the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau released a report detailing a $1.05 billion balance in UW System reserve accounts. That includes the system's tuition balance of $414.1 million, compared to a tuition balance of $212.8 million on June 30, 2009.
Much of those funds are restricted regarding how they can be used.
UW System President Kevin Reilly said just $207 million in the system's cash balances were uncommitted or unrestricted.
Still, a chorus of Republican lawmakers has blasted Reilly and the system officials for sitting on a hefty reserve while university students in the Badger State have seen tuition soar.
Between 2002 and 2012, tuition climbed 134 percent for UW System students, the heftiest hike among Big Ten university systems, Vos said in his statement.
"At a time when student loan debt is soaring, the UW System did their students a disservice by not being more responsible with the tuition dollars they had and asking for more," the speaker said.
Vos and other lawmakers have criticized Reilly for statements made during a hearing this week, calling his comments about the reserve disingenuous.
"On one hand, President Reilly testified (this week) that they didn't know the balances existed, and yet they had a plan in place to spend it. That's disrespectful to the students whose tuition was repeatedly raised while the system was sitting on big reserves," Vos said.
At the hearing, Reilly defended the balance, in total about a 25 percent reserve ratio, saying it was in line with other public universities. He conceded the university didn't have a policy for appropriate reserve balances.
"We need to look out for the long-term, what is the health of the university going to be for that student," Reilly said. "We need to have a sufficient reserve so that we can say to that student, Four years from now, 'You'll be getting a quality education here.'
"I think we could have and should have been more transparent about this," Reilly said. "What we have not done is drilled down below that level and say, 'Here's where money lies on all the campuses.' I think with where these balances have gotten to, we should."
Senate President Mike Ellis, R-Neenah, who has become quite accustomed to sending public officials scathing letters, released a sneering missive to Reilly, peppering the system president with a plethora of unanswered questions.
"Did the Board of Regents know of the huge surplus when it approved the 5.5 percent tuition increase in each of the last two years? If so, when, where and how did that vote take place, and how did each of the Regents vote?" Ellis begins his written interrogation.
"You are probably aware that the concealment of these funds has raised serious questions as to the governance and oversight of the University of Wisconsin System," Ellis writes. "Your answers to these questions will help shed light on who is running the University of Wisconsin – the PhDs in Van Hise Hall overlooking Madison, or the taxpayer's (sic) representatives on the Board of Regents."
The senator poked at Reilly's pay, north of $400,000 a year, saying that because the system president is in the upper tier of income in Wisconsin, a 5.5 percent tuition increase wouldn't significantly his his bottom line.
"However, I remind you that students and families have experienced hardship and gone into debt because of skyrocketing tuition at UW," Ellis' letter asserts.
Some Democrats have sprung to the defense of Reilly and the system.
State Rep. Fred Clark of Sauk City dismissed the news value of the system's bolstered fund balance, asserting that berating a higher education system that has "managed to maintain a reasonable level of cash reserves through difficult times was as illogical as it was counter-productive."
"If any aspect of this story is embarrassing it has been watching legislators try to outdo themselves in being outraged and publically (Sic) hurling offensive comments at UW leaders – comments that will ultimately tarnish the brand of one of our most important state institutions," Clark said in a statement this week.
In a briefing, Vos pledged that the Republican-controlled legislature will "take a serious look at the needs of the universities to make sure that students are put first."
"To do that, we're going to take a comprehensive look at the UW System's finances, and examine some reforms to bring about more accountability and transparency," Vos said.
UW System spokesman David Giroux said he had not read Vos' statements Friday and that he would hold off on reacting to lawmaker comments until he sees an amended budget.
"I think it's fair to say that the legislature, the governor, the regents and all of our university folks have a common desire to hold our colleges' costs down. That's a shared goal so let's have a good conversation about that," Giroux told Wisconsin Reporter.
He said accomplishing that mission could involve any number of options, from freezing or lowering tuition to expanding need-based aid.
"We can look at all of those," the spokesman said.

Cancer Research Highlights
Smoking Declines Helped Prevent More Lung Cancer Deaths than Expected
Reductions in smoking have helped to save more lives from lung cancer than previously thought, an NCI-funded study has found, but many more deaths could have been averted with even greater declines in smoking. In the study, researchers in NCI's Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) used computer models to quantify the impact of falling smoking rates on lung cancer mortality in the United States. The findings appeared March 14 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
The researchers modeled three different scenarios: one based on actual smoking behaviors, one in which all smoking ceased following publication of the first Surgeon General's report on smoking and health in 1964, and one in which smoking rates remained at the high levels that existed prior to the report's publication (representing what might have occurred if no tobacco control policies had been implemented).
It was estimated that, on average, 795,000 deaths from lung cancer were averted between 1975 and 2000 due to actual declines in smoking. (This calculation does not include deaths from other forms of cancer or smoking-related diseases.) Had all smoking ceased in 1965—the first full year after the 1964 Surgeon General's Report—2.5 million deaths from lung cancer would have been averted during the same period, a number slightly less than the current population of Chicago.
The estimated mortality reductions are much larger than several earlier studies predicted. "[Our study] was a much more detailed analysis" than had been performed in those earlier studies, explained study co-author Dr. Suresh Moolgavkar of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. "We essentially reconstructed smoking histories and the associated lung cancer risks for the entire U.S. population."
The CISNET study "should serve as a model for future analyses in public health more broadly," wrote Dr. Thomas Glynn of the American Cancer Society in an accompanying commentary. The results, he continued, "are tantalizing—especially in the 'what could have been' scenario—but, more important, they give us a clear view to what should be the future of tobacco control in the United States."
The study's findings "show that we've come a long way since the first Surgeon General's report and [have] done a very good job of reducing tobacco use," said study co-author Dr. Eric "Rocky" Feuer of NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences. "But they also show that we still have a long way yet to go and cannot relax our efforts."
Study Identifies a Mechanism behind Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Resistance
Researchers have discovered a physical mechanism that prevents chemotherapy from reaching pancreatic cancer cells, as well as a way to reverse that mechanism. Dr. Sunil Hingorani of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and his colleagues reported their results March 19 in Cancer Cell.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, the most common type of pancreatic cancer, is notoriously resistant to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, leading to an overall 5-year relative survival rate of less than 5 percent. Using mice with tumors that are genetically similar to human pancreatic adenocarcinomas, the researchers found that, as the tumors grow, a thick matrix develops and surrounds the tumors' cells.
The matrix exerts tremendous pressure on the tumors—pressure that greatly exceeds the normal pressure found within blood vessels—causing the tumors' blood vessels to collapse. This collapse prevents chemotherapy drugs in the blood stream from reaching the tumor cells.
Dr. Hingorani and his colleagues identified a substance called hyaluronic acid that forms a large part of this pressurized matrix. When they treated the mice with an enzyme called PEGPH20, which breaks down hyaluronic acid, the pressure within the tumors returned to normal, and the blood vessels regained their normal shape and function.
When the researchers treated mice with a combination of PEGPH20 and the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine, 83 percent of tumors within the pancreas shrank after only one cycle of treatment, and all tumors shrank after three cycles. Similar responses were seen in metastatic tumors. Mice that received the combination therapy survived almost twice as long as mice that received PEGPH20 plus a placebo.
"When able to penetrate the tumor bed, gemcitabine can indeed be an effective agent against this disease," wrote the authors. An early phase clinical trial is testing the combination of PEGPH20 and gemcitabine in people with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Expanded Tumor Profiling Yields Clues about Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Testing the cancer cells of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for alterations in a panel of 18 genes could help doctors predict the risk of relapse for individual patients, according to a retrospective analysis of data from a large clinical trial. This approach—sometimes called cancer profiling—could also provide information about which patients may benefit most from certain treatments. The findings appeared in the March 14 New England Journal of Medicine.
Doctors use various methods to diagnose AML and to classify patients according to the risk of relapse. Some patients have their cancers profiled for alterations in three genes associated with AML. The new study suggests, however, that analyzing a larger set of genes could help doctors assign patients to more precise subgroups, with favorable, intermediate, or unfavorable risk profiles.
To reach this conclusion, Dr. Ross Levine of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and his colleagues profiled stored samples from nearly 400 participants in a large clinical trial led by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) and published in 2009. The researchers then validated their findings using an independent group of 104 patients from the same trial.
At least one cancer-related genetic alteration was found in 97 percent of the patients. Certain mutations tended to occur together, revealing clues to the pathways that are active in AML, the researchers noted. In addition, the expanded panel yielded better prognostic information than the one currently used in the clinic.
"Some of the newly discovered mutations substantially improved the classification of patients as having either a favorable or unfavorable risk profile," Dr. Levine said.
He noted that profiling cancers may also inform decisions about treatment. Results from the ECOG trial showed that AML patients under 50 years of age may benefit from a higher dose of daunorubicin chemotherapy early in treatment. The new analysis, however, found that some patients benefited more than others.
Specifically, higher-dose daunorubicin chemotherapy improved survival among patients whose cancer cells had DNMT3A or NPM1 gene mutations or MLL gene translocations but not among patients with cancer cells that lacked these gene alterations. These findings need to be confirmed, the authors noted.
Future studies will seek to identify additional genetic and epigenetic events that contribute to AML. "The challenge will be to not look at each alteration as an independent variable, but instead to see whether new alterations—together with other known mutations—improve prognostic models and inform the selection of treatments," Dr. Levine said.
The new study shows what can be learned by analyzing DNA samples and data from a completed clinical trial, noted Dr. Lucy Godley of the University of Chicago Medical Center, who wrote an accompanying editorial. "Dr. Levine essentially took samples from the freezer and used them to ask new questions about AML."
Updated European Prostate Cancer Screening Trial Data Show Little Change in Risk Reduction
After 11 years of follow up, results from a large European clinical trial continue to show a reduced risk of death from prostate cancer associated with prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening. The findings, from the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) trial, show a 21 percent relative reduction in prostate cancer mortality among men who underwent routine PSA screening compared with men who did not—the same risk reduction previously reported after 9 years of follow-up.
Consistent with the earlier results, screening was also associated with important harms, Dr. Fritz Schröder of Erasmus University Medical Center and his colleagues reported March 15 in the New England Journal of Medicine. About half of those diagnosed on the basis of PSA screening were overdiagnosed—that is, diagnosed with prostate cancers that likely would never have threatened their lives.
Overall, the researchers found that 1,055 men would need to be invited for screening and 37 cancers would need to be detected to prevent one death from prostate cancer.
With approximately 182,000 participants, the eight-country ERSPC trial consortium is the largest randomized study of PSA screening for prostate cancer ever conducted. Earlier this year, 13-year follow-up results were published from the second-largest trial, the NCI-funded Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial of 77,000 men. In the PLCO trial, annual PSA screening did not reduce the risk of dying from prostate cancer. Screening did lead to substantial rates of overdiagnosis but lower than those in the ERSPC trial.
The conflicting results have been attributed to a number of key differences between the trials, wrote Dr. Anthony Miller of the University of Toronto in an accompanying editorial. The two trials used different PSA scores as a cutoff point and screened men at different intervals. The PLCO trial also had a substantial amount of "contamination"—more than half of men in the PLCO control arm underwent screening outside the trial. In addition, he pointed to evidence that there may have been different prostate cancer treatment in the screened versus control arms of the ERSPC study.
"We are left with an unsatisfactory situation, in which many practitioners will think there are insufficient data to recommend abandoning PSA screening for prostate cancer," Dr. Miller wrote. Because the PLCO results are more applicable to clinical practice in the United States, Dr. Miller said it would be "advisable" to follow the recent draft recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which advise against PSA screening for prostate cancer among men considered to be at low risk of the disease.
Also in the Journals: Children and Adolescents with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia are Living Longer
An analysis of data from more than 21,000 children and adolescents treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) through clinical trials led by the Children's Oncology Group (COG) has found that 5-year survival rates rose from 83.7 percent between 1990 and 1994 to 90.4 percent between 2000 and 2005.
Survival improved among all children older than 1 regardless of age, sex, race or ethnicity, or ALL subtype. However, the relative risk of death varied among subgroups, with younger children faring better than adolescents, for example. Findings from the study, which includes the largest group of childhood ALL patients ever analyzed, were published online March 12 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The study authors "believe that the major reason for improved survival [seen in this study] was decreased risk of relapse." Survival rates for children with ALL have risen dramatically since the 1960s due to improved treatment regimens with existing chemotherapy drugs, noted lead author Dr. Stephen Hunger of the University of Colorado. "Future improvements will depend, in large part, on developing new drugs to treat the hard-to-treat subsets of childhood leukemia," including infants less than a year old, Dr. Hunger said.

Mid-Side recording combines a uni-directional Mid mic that captures sound directly in front of you and a bi-directional Side mic that captures sound from your left and right. By increasing or decreasing the level of the Side mic, you can control the width of the stereo field which gives you incredible flexibility over your recordings. If you record in RAW mode, you can even adjust the stereo width after recording.You still get X/YThe H2n's onboard 90° X/Y stereo condenser mics are arranged with the right and left mics on the same axis. This design ensures that the mics are always equidistant from the sound source for perfect localization and no phase shifting. The result is brilliant stereo recording with natural depth and accurate imaging.Completely surroundedUsing the H2n's Mid-Side and X/Y mics together, you can create stunning 360° surround-sound recordings. Choose between 2-channel mode, which combines the Mid-Side and X/Y mics, and 4-channel mode, which records two separate stereo files, allowing you even more post-production capability. No matter which mode you use, you'll get perfectly balanced, surround sound recordings.Streamline your recording experienceThe H2n is remarkably easy to use. With its newly designed user interface, critical controls are right at your fingertips and make studio-quality recording a breeze. The H2n also houses an arsenal of comprehensive functions, including Auto-Gain, a compressor/limiter, time stamping and more.The H2n has you coveredNever again will you have to worry about losing recorded data to unexpected errors. The H2n has you covered with its new data recovery function. Whether you experience battery loss or an accidental power-down, this feature will automatically restore your data the next time the H2n is powered on.20 hours of battery lifeThe H2n provides over 20 hours of continuous operation on just two standard AA alkaline batteries. This astonishing feature enhances the H2n's flexibility and convenience. In addition, the H2n can also operate using an AC adapter (sold separately).Bigger and brighterThe H2n's 1.8" backlit LCD display (128 x 64 resolution) provides crystal-clear monitoring and makes it simple to navigate all of the unit's functions.Turning to analogDigital volume controls offer too much or too little gain, with no middle ground. The H2n's Mic Gain wheel allows you to dial-in the perfect amount of gain for any given application.Play it back and listenThe H2n's built-in reference speaker lets you know your recordings have been captured. With its 1/8" stereo output, you can also playback your recordings on your home audio system or listen to your masterpiece using your favorite pair of headphones.Secure your memoriesThe H2n uses SD/SDHC cards and can accommodate up to a 32GB SDHC card for over 50 hours of recording time using the 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV format. With 128Kbps MP3 format, you get an incredible 555 hours of stereo recording. The H2n comes with a 2GB SD card to get you started.Transfer and edit at High-SpeedUse the H2n's High-Speed USB 2.0 interface to transfer files to your Mac or PC. Once your recordings are on your computer, you can easily store, edit, playback, and share your favorite creations.

The three-game round-robin that will determine the top three playoff seeds from 6-AAAAA begins on Friday when second-ranked Tucker meets No. 4 Stephenson. Tucker has won 20 consecutive games, and I give the Tigers a slight edge in making it 21, but nothing in this region will be decided until both teams play No. 3 M.L. King in the next couple of weeks. Lowndes and Valdosta also meet this week in the state's biggest rivalry, and I expect Lowndes to come out on top and keep pace with Camden County.
Congratulations go out to David Foley of Alpharetta, who was last week's winner in the High School Football Pickoff contest. Foley was the only contestant to correctly pick the winner in 14 of 15 games. Click here to sign up and participate in this week's contest.

valdosta will not get blownout in this game……i give them a 10% chance of pulling the upset over lowndes……just bc of the rivalry factor….and emotion…..
two weeks of prep didnt help colquitt……..we will see how it works for valdosta
lowndes win 31-17
October 11th, 2012
2:02 pm
What happened to Tri-Cities? Were they just a one year wonder?
October 11th, 2012
2:14 pm
I also see Lowndes taking this one
October 11th, 2012
2:45 pm

October 11th, 2012
3:15 pm
Tri-Cities looked like this last year, then went to the playoffs playing like a totally different team.
October 11th, 2012
3:17 pm
V-Wildcats will be emotionally up for the Lowndes game, but it won't help them. Lowndes by 14…maybe 21!
October 11th, 2012
3:51 pm
yep…hard to beat lowndes vikings….binoculars, stolen playbooks, anything to win a high school game
October 11th, 2012
3:53 pm
Ive seen Lowndes play. They are not that good….even not as good as their team last year. The Colquitt win was a giant fluke and we all know why. They have not played anyone. Im not sure Valdosta beats them but they will get exposed very shortly.
October 11th, 2012
3:59 pm
CHIP…CHIP…CHIP…Where's the faith?
"ROME over NORTH PAULDING"…Not this time, NORTH is on a roll since the loss to EAST in game 1,
Look for a great game, a packed house as the ROME Wolves get whipped by the WOLFPACK of NORTH PAULDING…look for something like a 24 / 21 or 28 / 24 game!
Meanwhile the RAIDERS of EAST will be on the other end of the county SWATTING some HORNETS!!! as they travel to HIRAM!
October 11th, 2012
5:31 pm
The team that executes and makes the least amount of mistakes in the "WINNERSVILLE CLASSIC" wins the ballgame!!

October 11th, 2012
6:40 pm
And believe me, after what happened last year, Lowndes will not collapse in the 4th Qtr!! They had to wait a WHOLE YEAR to get a chance to erase that moment from their minds. . . .
October 11th, 2012
6:50 pm
Lowndes vs Valdosta is not the states biggest rivalry… try Northside WR vs Warner Robins, by far the biggest in the southeast…. Nov. 2
October 11th, 2012
7:36 pm
valdosta 21-17 lowndes
October 11th, 2012

Tucker v Stephenson should be a great game. Two great programs that are only a few miles from each other geographically.
October 11th, 2012
7:56 pm
@Graphite..If you dont know by now WE ARE TUCKER and we dont ever lose much less lose 3 straight. Give me some of what you smoking ova there cause it got you feeling good behind that keyboard. hahahaha….
October 11th, 2012

Valdosta is a lot better than people give them credit. I smell a potential upset.

9:10 pm
Don't be so sure to pick Tucker over Stephenson; Tucker has not played the quality of teams that Stephenson has been accustomed to playing. Critics are picking Tucker based on history of Tucker, keep in mind that Stephenson has been playing out of it's league playing in the state's highest classification. New year! new classification! New mind set! Let show em Jags…
October 11th, 2012

JAB….LoL…. "New year! new classification! New mind set! Let show em Jags"…But the same old Stephenson, which means the same old results!!
October 11th, 2012
10:00 pm
It's a final …… # 7 Lincoln Co 20 ….. # 2 Aquinas 13 !!!
October 11th, 2012

Aquinas should not have even been in the top 10.

10:50 pm
5-Time, what do you mean same old Stephenson–these guys are playing down in classification. You guys act like Stephenson go the beat down playing in the State highest classification; they would always come up short in the play-offs by loosing by either a touchdown or 7 points and or in overtime. They have beaten Tucker in the preseason and tied them when they ran the tables and won the state championship while they played in AAAA… Stephenson is ready and are not intimidated by no Dekalb County teams…

have you lost your mind? Lowndes is much better than last years team. you dont even need to be on this site, you have 0 football knowledge
October 12th, 2012
1:40 am
Stephenson Jaggggggggggguarsssssss.
October 12th, 2012
2:26 am
Very good points JAB. Taking nothing away from Tucker High School I expect a very good football although I also expect some mistakes made on boths sides of the ball. I believe this game will come down to a penalty resulting in a firrst down, or whoever has the ball last will win the game. Stephenson can win this game if they do to things.
1. Win field position & score when opportunity present itself
2. Defense Defense Defense getting off the field. Clock mangaement. Staying relaxed & playing loose.
These are the keys to me for a victory for Jaguar nation.
Still got be baffled how this is not the game of the week in Metro Area?
October 12th, 2012
7:36 am
Of course Rockdale County, wil not score ANY point's. Get BLOWN OUT, as ALWAYS.
October 12th, 2012
7:52 am
@ RCHS == They could have been better people say if not for the mis-fortune of the Qb. this past summer. I am not sure about that as I watched them against Lovejoy and unless he was a prolific runner, the end result I believe would have been the same. They play no D. The Qb. is O.K. and he has a nice receiver, #81 I think. Coaching is bad. They had a third and 6 and quick kicked, in the first quarter. To me, that made no sense.
October 12th, 2012
7:59 am
Can't wait for Stephens County to find out what the Hurricanes are all about this year!! This is Monroe Area's year. The Hurricanes are more stacked than they have ever been. Stephens' Thornton will get his yards, but the Indians' D has never seen the likes of Kwan Brooks and Stanton Truitt in the backfield.
October 12th, 2012
10:25 am
I don't think that Valdosta is as bad as people think, they have 2 loses, both to top ranked teams. I think Lowndes will pull it out tonight, but it will not be a blowout.
Coffee should get a big win tonight over a beat up Brunswick football team, that one could be a blowout. Go Trojans!
Camden should win easily over a rebuilding Tift Co football team, Tift Co much like Coffee is in it's 5th consecutive rebuilding season, but should be back next year.
October 12th, 2012
10:49 am
BigGrown….I don't think so!! Nothing matches the "WINNERSVILLE CLASSIC" » http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/story?storyId=4412088
October 12th, 2012
10:51 am
Chip, there is NO WAY you can possibly know enough about all 300 or so teams in the state to make predictions on ALL of them. Why don't you stick with predicting the big marquee games and not offend the fans of at least 50 to 100 schools who know better than your glance-at-a-page and look at the teams' records predictions?
October 12th, 2012
10:54 am
Monroe, you guys ARE really good and you're blowing up the scoreboard, but Stephens loss last week was more due to the absence of 5 starters (including a WR with 700 yards of catches and a linebacker with almost 50 tackles this year), than it was to the quality of Chestatee. Chestatee is a solid, 3 yards and a cloud of dust team, but 8 games out of 10, Stephens would've won. I think this score is going to resemble a basketball game more than a football game. Someone will win like 56-49 and I'd say ya'll are only favored because you're at home.
October 12th, 2012
12:39 pm
@JAB and the rest of Stepehnson posters
Just to get the record straight…
Tucker and Stephenson has played 3 Scrimmage games (might I add they don't count in any record books) and the series is tied 1-1-1
2008 Tucker Won 18-15 Tucker Finished 14-1 State Chapms SHS Finished 9-2 (lost to Luella & Coffee Co.)
2009 SHS Won 16-0 SHS Finished 11-1 (lost to Colquitt)Tucker finished 9-3 (lost to Sandy Creek)
2011 7-7 Tie. Tucker was undefeated that year with a perfect 15-0 season , and SHS finished 9-2 (lost to MLK and Lowndes)
October 12th, 2012
1:03 pm
@ NeutralFan….please explain why you feel the Vikes aren't that good. is it due to lack of playmakers? is it b/c of the level of competition that the Vikes have played? is it b/c you feel that the team you support is better? if you're going to make a statement such as that please do us all a favor & back up your comment with some intelligent facts…
October 12th, 2012
1:09 pm
@BigGrown…. i can understand your argument. in another post i was explaining to Suwanee Owns about rivalries, traditions, & pride. the NSWR / WR is a huge rivalty, very similar to the Vikings & Wildcats. But how many times have the Eagles & Demons been on national television? Other good rivalries would include
Parkview / Brookwood
i'm sure there are more that i can't think of right now….
October 12th, 2012
1:49 pm
I'm with you on the North/Rome game. I think it's a big turn out and that North gets it first ever truly signature win on Homecoming night. Think it might be a little higher scoring maybe 41-38 or 38-35.
Just don't see either team really stopping the other much.
October 12th, 2012
1:51 pm
Oh and ….. East big over Hiram 41-7.
October 12th, 2012
2:41 pm
How many have had a 25,000+ crowd
October 12th, 2012
4:04 pm
Aquinas hasn't beaten Lincoln County since the 70's.
October 12th, 2012
4:14 pm
@BigGrown……….. trust & believe if we had a stadium that could fit that many in there, we'd still need to bring more bleachers in b/c there still wouldn't be enough room.
October 12th, 2012
4:20 pm
BigGrown….C'mon now!! You know the only reason you have that amount is because you guys obviously have a bigger stadium. We would surpass that amount easily if we had a seating capacity of 30,000+ LoL. . . .
October 12th, 2012
10:08 pm
Stephenson just beat Tucker 13-6
October 12th, 2012

Yes Tucker Lost !!! but i will take that loss… We needed that tune -up !!! It wont happen again this year !!

Oilers Name Assistant Coaches
This is Steve Smith. He was named as one of the Oilers assistant coaches today, joining Kelly Buchberger as Tom Renney's helpers.
It is not a "traditional" hire, as Smith is not an established assistant coach in another city or a minor league coach looking to cash NHL cheques. Smith has coached in the NHL, but it was a long time ago (97-98). Early reports have him coaching the defensemen, and since the club is looking for men who played the game as he did then maybe this makes sense.
It is an unusual hire, and my initial reaction is a negative one. If he was so good as a coach, why did it take this long for someone to pluck him from the scouting department (in Chicago)? And is Buchberger established enough to be the next-in line? And doesn't this feel a little too much like another "Boys on the Bus" re-set?
On the other hand, I liked the "all-star" cast of coaches last year and that went over like a snowball in a hot place. If Steve Smith can help any of Theo Peckham, Alex Plante, Jeff Petry, Johan Motin, Taylor Chorney and Shawn Belle become a "Steve Smith" type on the blue then this hiring will receive our blessing.
Until then, the jury is out. And a little suspicious.

Hi Derek-
Great to meet you. I am interested in keeping up with the farm development in NYC.
Hey Derek, sounds like you can only attend if you registered for the Just Food event.

Cheers, Suzanne

It seemed Earth was a rich and undefended planet in a warring, hating galaxy. Things can be deceptive though; children playing can be quite rough--but that ain't war, friend!

"In the forefront of every battle against alien aggression," he declaimed proudly, "have been men from Earth. Millions of our young men have fought gloriously and died gladly to protect the human--and humanoid--civilizations from whatever forms of life have menaced them. Djamboula led the forces of Hera against Clovis, just as Captain O'Neill so recently directed the final battle that saved Meloa from the hordes of Throm. In our own ranks, we have a man who spent eight long and perilous years in such a gallant struggle to save a world for humanoid decency. Senator Harding--"
From the darkened sea of faces, a voice suddenly sounded. "Will the senator yield?" It was the deep baritone of Harding.

Real Estate Investing
There are several avenues available in the world today to make fortunes. One of the easiest ways, even for the common entrepreneur is real estate investing. Many stories abound, which point to the fact that investing in Collingwood real estate can be a very lucrative venture.
Real estate is an amazing method for any shrewd investor willing to learn about the risks, options, and potential rewards involved in this form of investment. Here are some of the most common real estate investments for the Collingwood area.
1. Rental Property
Unlike other investments gains value over a period of time. But few people are willing to wait for long periods of time for all the properties they have accumulated to appreciate in value. Most property investors overcome this by renting out their properties in the ski season while their values are rising. This makes the venture less risky since the tenants cover the note on the property.
2. Pre-construction Investment
This form of investment has a very high risk profile and can easily go awry. Most investors got to know how risky this venture was when the property 'bubble' went bust. Though there are risks involved, many millionaires have been made through pre-construction investing and many more will be created in the future. Pre-construction investing is a form of investing in which investors purchase 'options' on property before the ground is broken. This is prevalent in high demand areas that are likely to experience shortages in housing since prices rising fast, and units being sold even before they are completed and before money actually changes hands.
3. Flipping Houses
This form of property investment has improved greatly over the last few years, because of the popularity of home improvement and house flipping shows on cable TV shows. An increasing number of people are attracted to the idea of investing a little money and reaping huge profits in a very short time frame. However, it is a lot easier on TV than in person, and often, people have unrealistic expectations with regards to costs and ability. Although it is also very risky, it has a high profit potential with short periods of time just as the TV shows indicate.
4. Buy and Hold
As stated above, the value of real estate in Collingwood tends to improve over time. Even if the builds are in bad shape and in dire need of repair, the land on which it is built gains value as the years go by. So, by purchasing large parcels of land or lots of houses and keeping them for several years before selling can solve a lot financial issues like mortgage payments, fund college education for children, pay for weddings, and supplement retirement funds. In most cases, the longer these properties are held, the better since there is a greater opportunity for the property value to increase.
5. Lease Options
Everybody on planet Earth goes through financial hardships at some point in their life. And people are often denied normal home loans because of their inability to pay their debts in the past. This makes them more welcoming to the idea of rebuilding their credit while at the same time, working to achieve their goal of home ownership. For these people, the lease option is a workable and valued solution. Investors who are willing to take the risks find that the rewards are certainly well worth all the risks.
These are just some of the investment opportunities available for those interested in purchasing homes for sale in Collingwood as an investment avenue. Commercial real estate investments also have the potential to bring in huge profits as well as the planning and development of housing communities as well. Real estate investment certainly offers a lot of opportunities of the shrewd investor, who is not put off by the risks involved in the different investment options.

Stage your Home to Sell in today's Real Estate Market
Curb appeal is important. Prospective buyers will take one look at your house and decide - in seconds - whether your house could possibly be the right property amongst all homes for sale in Thornbury. Once you can get buyers into your home, what they see next makes all the difference in the world whether you make a sale or not.
People need to be able to see your home as theirs, not yours and staging your home can help prospective buyers see the potentials themselves.
Staging is simply the process of preparing your home for sale. Depending on your home and your needs, you can either stage your home yourself or hire a consultant. Whichever way you choose to go, know that staging your home is the best, and the fastest, way to sell your Thornbury home in today's market.
Since your objective is to sell the home, you must clean, de-clutter, and rearrange your home in order to show it at its best. If cleaning means painting, then you paint. Bathrooms and kitchens are high traffic rooms and should be thoroughly cleaned and sparkling. Clear all clutter off counter tops and dressers. Organize drawers and closets (yes, people will look.) Remove any furniture that might be in the walking traffic flow of the house, and be sure to leave clear walkways to all windows. Windows and screens should be sparkling clean.
Keep it simple: a bed and a dresser are all that is needed to show that 'this room could be a bedroom'. A small table and chairs identifies the dining room. Simple decor (no personal pictures or special items should be left out) could include small vases, with or without flowers, and unlit candles. It doesn't matter how the perspective buyer wants to use the rooms, you just showcase them for what they are to you.
Once you decide to sell your home, you should begin to think of it as belonging to someone else. Look at it through their eyes and you will see what needs to be done to prepare your home for the market. Do not hesitate to call in professionals if you think staging your home will be too much work. Professionals are happy to have the work. Finally, talk to your Thornbury real estate agent before you start any projects. You want to know just what major upgrades are needed to ensure that the payoff is worth your investment. Selling it is what staging is all about.

Seven Helpful Tips to Sell your House
Selling your home can be confusing if you don't know what to do. When you bought your current home you were the buyer and not the seller. Now it's your turn to be that seller and you can have a successful sale if you follow a few simple tips. While the whole home selling process is pretty much the same everywhere, you should be aware of your local market.
1. PlanningIf you are planning to sell your current home and are hoping to buy a new home, it is best to first find out if you qualify to buy right now. Once you know you qualify then it is time to stage the house. This requires a lot of work, but is well worth the time and effort.
2. REALTOR®Once you feel ready to sell, then it's time to look for a REALTOR®. Talk to as many local real estate agents in Owen Sound and their customers. You want to know exactly what they offer and what their views on marketing your property are. You will work closely with this person (or group) so choose wisely.
3. ListingThere are several types of listing agreements available. Each one of them will offer you a different level of involvement with your broker. You and your new Owen Sound agent should work together and decide how much you are willing to spend, and how much time you are willing to put into, the whole selling process.
4. PricingCheck what listings are for sale in Owen Sound for a baseline to set your price. You don't want it too far below market value that people wonder about the condition, or too far above market value that it scares potential buyers away. Good pricing follows market trends. Don't forget to add those extra fees to cover all the costs of selling the home.
5. Prepare to SellWith the right price, in the right market, your house will sell fast. Be prepared by always having your home staged and ready. If you are using an agent you will be asked to leave so the agent can show the house. If you are selling on your own then you should prepare a brief speech that details the highlights of your home.
6. OffersAll offers should be in standard forms that will satisfy any lawyer. Know what the buyer wants and doesn't want included in the deal. You, as the seller, have the final say and may accept or reject – or even modify and negotiate longer – any offer given.
7. Signed, Sealed and DeliveredOnce you reach an agreement and all papers are signed and are cleared, then you are home free and ready to move on to your next big adventure. Congratulations, and have fun!

How to choose the Right Real Estate Agent
Contrary to popular belief, the best Collingwood real estate agent is not necessarily the one that has the most sales or experience. The qualities that distinguish between a good agent and a great agent includes someone who is eager to listen to you, works with your budget and time frame, and is very qualified to handle your unique needs.
Since each person looking to buy a home is unique, with some having credit issues or might even live out of province; others might be looking to sell their current homes in addition to buying a new one. It must be noted that the needs of those looking to buy homes are varied, in the same vein; real estate agents should have all the tools and skills to meet those needs.
Here are some important steps you should take when selecting the perfect Collingwood real estate agent to help you purchase in the Georgian bay area.
1. Make enquiries from friends and family
No one knows you as much as your family and as such, they are in the best position to suggest the right agent that can give you what you want. Your friends too can make recommendations for referrals and you can trust their judgement instead of that of a total stranger.
2. Talk to several agents in and around Collingwood.
According to a statistic I saw, about 84% of home buyers choose an agent after just meeting the very first one. This could either mean that they are good at selecting met the best one so fast, or they simply rushed the whole process. They probably did both.
Although you don't have to stress yourself out with interviews after another, at least 3 agents that work in Collingwood, the Blue Mountains and Thornbury should be spoken with to determine which of them you are comfortable working with.
3. Take into consideration the vibe factor
Although professional expertise is a must when deciding on which of those agents to work with, interpersonal skills are also very important. You don't want to be stuck with a person whom you are not comfortable with for up to 2-12 months! We all have unique temperaments, which is good. But when it comes to working with a professional, your personalities have to be in sync.
Before deciding on the final real estate agent, you should ask them how they hunt homes for sale within Collingwood. Most agents over time have developed a liking for some listings that they work with. But it is about what listing you want to work with and not theirs. Especially since you are paying for the service- "you're the boss". So make sure that the agent is willing to check the MLS® alongside their own preferred listings.
5. Study all documents carefully
This piece of advice is so popular for a good reason. It is pertinent that you thoroughly read through every document that is presented during the home buying process, especially the agents' agreement. At some point, the Collingwood real estate agent you go with might ask you to sign an agent agreement.
The agreement usually states that the REALTOR® is to be credited with the sales of whatever property they show you. It is basically a standard document in most cases, nevertheless, be sure to read it carefully.

Why list with a Local REALTOR then with a For Sale by Owner service
Anyone who is trying to sell their Southampton real estate property or has recently sold one is likely familiar with a process called FSBO. Most are under the impression that this method will save them a ton of money in commissions. Contrary to popular belief, this is not the case. Keep in mind that when you see the advertisements about FSBO it's a fact that many of those "saved" dollars are actually used entirely by tasks that are typically performed by a REALTOR®. The only difference is that a REALTOR® is a professional. You are not. Consider this in your mind: If you are having heart trouble, would you go see a Dentist? Or a Cardiologist? Of course you would go and see someone who specializes in matters of the heart! The same should be true when you go about selling your Southampton house or Port Elgin cottage. A professional should always be involved.
If you want to protect your investment, hiring a local Southampton REALTOR® or Port Elgin Real Estate Agent is of the utmost importance. It is their job to simplify the home buying process as well as help protect your investment. They are skilled in marketing, which is an essential part of the home buying process. When you try to sell your home on your own you will not have half the access to the vast variants of advertising mediums. You will have your home showcased on your REALTORS®' web site. A REALTOR® will ensure your home is viewed by even more willing buyers. Your home will also be advertised in all local newspapers and general information sheets which are available all day every day.
Additionally, REALTORS® rub elbows on a consistent basis with other agents that sell Southampton real estate. A great REALTOR® will put the effort it takes into showing and marketing your home to their friends and colleges, which means your home will be viewed by a bigger pool of potential buyers. If your goal is to provide your home with maximum exposure in a positive light so it sells quickly, then list with a real estate agent. Don't be one of the many that starts the FSBO process only to later realize that they should have listed with a REALTOR® sooner.

Commercial Real Estate is the not the same as Residential
Many people these days are paying interest to the potential of making good money when investing in Orangeville commercial real estate. The reason for this is that one can often get a great return and one that is better than that from a bank or other forms investing. Those who have always desired to invest in the market of commercial real estate have been worried about the current state of the residential market with its ups and downs in prices, the length of time on the market - these are concerns people face when they consider to purchase commercial.
However, one must always realize that there is a large difference between that of commercial real estate in Orangeville and that of the residential sales in Orangeville. This is because the laws and the markets operate in a different way. One should still make sure that they have their property carefully inspected. One should also ensure that they get the inclusion of any easements when they sell if these are needed.
Easements are thought by many as a burden on a property, which may be considered for the utilities and for other factors such as the sewer. However, there are situations where easements will actually benefit the property and in some situations the property will need to have an individual take their vehicles and drive them over the land which is still in ownership by others. In these situations the individual who buys a commercial property may require the easements that may be needed for the parking and the entrances and exits, which should be included in the final agreement.
One of the best ways to see if any easements are needed is for the individual to request a survey of the property as this will outline any easements that may pertain. A legal description which outlines the easements of the property should also be reflected within the title insurance commitments. A search must be done by the title company for the commercial real estate property that is being bought. This is for the following reasons:
- One should be able to know whether the individual who is signing the agreement of the easements or the deed is actually legally entitled to show a property interest;
- One should also know that there will be no burden attached to the easement property that many results in the prevention from the individual using it;
- It may also be important to find out whether the taxes on the property easements are still current. An unfortunate situation would occur if the purchase was made on the commercial real estate property which resulted in a pendent on the easements and a discovery that there is a tax sale on the property.
It is always important to insist on an attorney who understands the rules of commercial real estate in Orangeville as well as that of residential real estate, as the industry of commercial is completely different.

… studies show that people with the best self-control are the ones who structure their lives so as to conserve willpower. They don't schedule endless back-to-back meetings. They avoid temptations like all-you-can-eat buffets, and they establish habits that eliminate the mental effort of making choices. Instead of deciding every morning whether or not to force themselves to exercise, they set up regular appointments to work out with a friend. Instead of counting on willpower to remain robust all day, they conserve it so that it's available for emergencies and important decisions.

IceCaps Sink Pirates 4-3 to Sweep the Series
The Portland Pirates dropped their 3
straight game, falling by a 4-3 score to the St. John's IceCaps. The Pirates loss allowed the Providence Bruins to clinch the 2012-13 Atlantic Division title, and remain 7 points away from clinching a 2013 Calder Cup Playoff spot.
The first 14 minutes of the game were scoreless with quality back and forth action, highlighted by Matt Clackson's first fight with the Pirates against Ray Sawada. The IceCaps would capitalize on the momentum following a Brett Hextall penalty, as Kael Mouillierat tipped in Josh Linden's shot for the power play goal with 5:46 left in the first. St. John's would go back on the power play, but the Portland penalty kill was up to the task, and the first period ended with the Pirates down 1-0.
The second started out with the IceCaps extending their lead. Vinny Saponari scored his first professional goal just 2:01 into the period to give the IceCaps a 2-0 lead. Darian Dziurzynski got the Pirates on the board, taking a Phil Lane feed and putting it past Mark Dekanich with 15:24 left in the second. Jordan Martinook then tied the game for the Pirates with just 1 second left on the power play with 11:26 left in the second. However, the IceCaps would respond, with Jason Jaffray using a Will O'Neill feed to beat Chad Johnson to give St. John's the 3-2 lead with 5:22 left in the second. It looked as if the Pirates had tied the game on an Andy Miele goal just a couple minutes later, but the goal was waived off due to a crease violation by Evan Brophey, and the Pirates remained behind 3-2 after 2.
The IceCaps extended their lead early, with Carl Klingberg adding the powerplay tally just 1:56 into the period. Despite increased pressure from the IceCaps, the Pirates did not allow another goal, and ratcheted up the pressure. David Rundblad brought the Pirates within 1 with a powerplay tally off a Brendan Shinniminwith 2:38 left, but the Pirates were unable to tie up the score.
The Pirates fall to 38-28-3-2 on the season, withChad Johnson dropping to 16-14-2 on the season after making 23 saves on 27 shots. Portland's magic number to clinch a 2013 Calder Cup playoff spot remains 7 points, and they remain 3 points back of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the 5
spot in the east and 3 points ahead of the Connecticut Whale. With the Portland loss, the Providence Bruins clinched the 2013 Atlantic Division title.
The Pirates get back to action Sunday afternoon when they host the Hershey Bears at the Cumberland County Civic Center. Puck drop is set for 4 PM. The Pirates will present their Team Awards, presented by Creative Awards and the Shirts off their Backs following the game.
Sunday'sgame can be heard on 1310 AM WLOB, and online on portlandpiratesradio.com and AHL Live, with the pregame show starting at 3:40 with Jeff Mannix.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A 34-year-old man was killed just before midnight, after his car was hit by a speeding drug suspect who was chased by a Milwaukee police officer.
Authorities said the officer ended the chase only a few seconds after it began, before the fatal crash.
Police said the 32-year-old officer saw what appeared to be a drug deal -- and when a vehicle drove away, the officer tried stopping the suspect but couldn't.
After the crash, two of the three people in the vehicle that was being chased were arrested as they tried to flee on foot. One of them was on probation for robbery, and the other was on probation for a drug violation. The third person was still at large at last word.
Officials did not release the name of the man who died in the crash.
Milwaukee changed its policy on high-speed chases three years ago, after 4 innocent people were killed by drivers who were fleeing.
Now, police chases are only allowed when there's cause that someone in the pursued cars had committed a violent crime, or is a threat to others.

October 18, 2013, 4:07 PM — Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4 are due for release next month, but chip supplier Advanced Micro Devices is already teasing chip upgrades that could make the game consoles faster and more power-efficient.
The game consoles will run on chips from AMD, which is already considering manufacturing advances for the chips, said Lisa Su, senior vice president and general manager of the company's global business units.
Chip makers like AMD are consistently looking to make chips smaller, faster and more power-efficient through new designs and manufacturing advances. Su didn't name Sony or Microsoft specifically, but said game consoles and related chips have a life span of five to seven years, and there will be chances to upgrade components while cutting manufacturing costs.
"Certainly, when we look at cost reduction opportunities, one of the important ones is to move technology nodes," Su said this week during AMD's quarterly earnings call. "And the reason to do that is both for pure die cost savings, as well as all the power savings that our customer benefits from."
The PS4 will ship on Nov. 15, and the Xbox One will become available a week later. The consoles have custom chips with eight CPU cores code-named Jaguar and Radeon graphics cores. The PS4 can deliver an estimated 1.84 teraflops of performance, Sony has said. Microsoft has not talked about performance delivered by the Xbox One chip.
The first Xbox and PS4 chips are being made on the 28-nm process by TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.). TSMC is already making chips using the 20-nanometer process, and in 2015 it will start making chips using 3D transistors -- also called FinFET technology -- using the 16-nm process. 3D transistors will bring power savings and performance boosts to chips, and Intel is already making chips with FinFET technology.
An AMD spokesman declined to comment on the possibility of upgrading console chips or when they would be produced. But Su said AMD is working on chip designs with its manufacturing partners.
"We are fully, top-to-bottom in 28-nanometer now across all of our products, and we are transitioning to both 20-nanometer and to FinFET over the next couple of quarters, in terms of designs. So we'll continue to do that across our foundry partners," Su said.
The console chips will likely be upgraded every two to three years, much like in past consoles, analysts said. The chip in the Xbox 360 was upgraded three times over its lifetime.
The console chip upgrades are more about shrinking the chip's size and cutting costs than improving performance, said Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at Insight 64.
