California playoffs heat up, Ohio race finally comes to a close
Story Highlights
Centennial stunned Su'a Cravens and Vista Murrieta in a thrilling CIF regional final
Long Beach Poly has come back from a 1-3 start to win a regional championship
Archbishop Moeller wins the battle for Ohio with strong defense to beat Whitmer
A few more state titles were decided this past weekend, the California Regional Football Championship Bowl Games were announced, and one season-long member of the top ten was eliminated in its final game of the season. Only the big states (California, Texas and Florida) are continuing at this point, but those races remain intriguing.
Vista Murrieta loses, Poly stuns Mater Dei: The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) football playoffs put two titles on the line, which makes the regional final one of the most coveted football games of the season. Not only is it a team's opportunity to reign supreme over its local rivals, but it also offers a chance to play in the "Bowl Games. " Each Division (I-IV) plays an opponent from its respective north or south classification before the respective winners matchup for a North-South final.
The most surprising team excluded from the final eight spots is Vista Murrieta (Calif.), which lost 30-28 to Centennial (Corona, Calif.) in the CIF Inland Division championship. This was the third consecutive season that the Broncos and the Huskies faced off in the regional final, and the Huskies managed to exact revenge after last year's loss. Centennial quarterback Robert Webber may have added his name to the growing lineage of elite quarterbacks to come from the school (Nebraska's Taylor Martinez, Arizona's Matt Scott, Arizona State's Michael Eubank) after completing 16 of 23 passes for 259 yards and one touchdown. The junior has no reported Division-I offers yet, but will likely get an extended look.
The Broncos shook off some shoddy offensive play (they turned the ball over four times) to make a furious charge at the end. Down 30-22, Vista Murrieta went to its star, USC commit Su'a Cravens down the stretch. It almost worked. As noted succinctly by Eric Sodenheimer at the Los Angeles Times, Cravens caught a 25-yard pass on fourth down, ran 12 yards to put his team deeper into Centennial territory, and eventually ran 14 yards to bring his team to within two points. Unfortunately for the Broncos, the last ball they needed to get to Cravens was broken up on the two-point conversion attempt.
Centennial has now won seven regional titles in 12 years. The Huskies will meet the dangerous Narbonne (Harbor City, Calif.), which beat Crenshaw (Calif.) 25-0 in its regional final.
The other shocking result from the CIF playoffs was Long Beach Poly's (Long Beach, Calif.) 35-17 win over Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.). Some may remember Long Beach Poly as the vaunted football powerhouse that once featured Mark Carrier, DeSean Jackson, Marcedes Lewis, Willie McGinest and even Snoop Dogg.
But this year was different for the Jackrabbits. They were 1-3 after week four and had lost three consecutive games by the combined score of 105-18. Now, Raul Lara's will take on the dangerous Clovis North (Fresno) this coming Friday.
Archbishop Moeller wins Ohio state title: In what may end up being the most exciting state playoff race this year, the Crusaders of Moeller (Cincinnati) overcame Whitmer (Toledo) 20-12 to win the Ohio Division I Championship. We have spent the past couple of weeks looking into the craze of the Ohio race -- whether it was Mentor's massive upsets, Moeller's persistence despite a brutal regular season schedule, or the final chance for Whitmer to get a state title -- yet the state title closed with some usual hard-hitting football.
The win was the seventh in Moeller's history, but the first it has clinched since 1985. The Crusaders were recognized as one of the top teams in the nation entering the season, but faced a vicious regular season schedule that included top-ranked Ohio teams St. Xavier (Cincinnati), Elder (Cincinnati), St. Edward (Lakewood, Ohio), and the loaded Trinity (Louisville).
North Carolina rushing record: Northern Guilford (Greensboro, N.C.) running back T.J. Logan had a championship to remember. According to the Charlotte Observer, the North Carolina commit rushed for a state record 510 yards and eight touchdowns in his team's 64-26 win over Charlotte Catholic (N.C.).
Record: 13-0
Previous rank: 1
Last week: Defeated Central (Fort Pierce, Fla.) 51-0
Next week: vs. St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) in FHSAA Class 7A State Semifinal
The Hurricanes easily clinched their regional championship and will now move on to the state semifinals where they will face a strong St. Thomas Aquinas side. It still seems unlikely that the Hurricanes will face a challenge in this game or even the final.
Record: 14-0
Previous rank: 2
Last week: Defeated Eastside Catholic (Sammamish, Wash.) 35-3 to win the WIAA 3A State Championship
That's the end of the road for a talented Bellevue side, and it never played a close game after Week 1. Football fans will probably hear the names Myles Jack, Budda Baker and Sean Constantine called at the next level.
Record: 13-0
Previous rank: 3
Last week: Defeated Springfield (La.) 55-0
Next week: vs. Evangel Christian Academy (Shreveport, La.) in the Class 3A State Championship
It was yet another easy win for Curtis, and it will advance to the title game with another traditional state power in Evangel Christian Academy (former high school of quarterbacks John David Booty and Brock Berlin as well as running back Jacob Hester).
Record: 13-0
Previous rank: 4
Last week: Defeated La Porte (Texas) 55-10
Next week: vs.Cypress Ranch (Houston) in the Conference 5A Divison 2 quarterfinals
Last week we wrote that Katy may get a more difficult test from LaPorte. It didn't. The Tigers will now face a rallying Cypress Ranch, which has won each of its playoff games in breathtaking fashion.
Record: 13-0
Previous rank: 5
Last week: Defeated Bowie (Texas) 24-6
Next week: vs. Carroll (Southlake, Texas) in Class 5A Division I Area quarterfinals
The Eagles were slowed down a bit -- but certainly not stopped -- this past weekend. They know play the game of the week against defending 5A Division 1 champion Southlake Carroll, which has won 12 consecutive games.
Record: 13-0
Previous rank: 6
Last week: Defeated James Logan (Union City, Calif.) 52-7
Next week: vs. Folsom (Calif.) in the CIF Division I Football State Championship semifinals
The Spartans obliterated an upstart Logan side in its CIF regional final. With one plaque down, De La Salle will need to survive a high-flying Folsom side that consistently features one of the top offenses in California.
Record: 15-0
Previous rank: 7
Last week: Defeated Jack Britt (Fayetteville, N.C.) 56-28 in the NCHSAA 4AA Championship
The Bulldogs are champs and completed arguably its most dominating season in school history.
Record: 13-0
Previous rank: 9
Last week: Defeated Memphis University (Tenn.) 31-14 in the Tennessee Boys State Football II-AA Championship
Next week: The streak goes to 21 and Ensworth again proves their dominance in the Tennessee preps rankings.
Record: 12-0
Previous rank: 10
Last week: Defeated Clearwater Central Catholic (Clearwater, Fla.) 42-0
Next week: vs. Madison County (Fla.) in the Florida Class 3A State finals
University keeps rolling through
Record: 14-0
Previous rank: NR
Last week: Defeated Crenshaw (Calif.) 25-0
Next week: vs. Centennial (Corona, Calif.) in the CIF Division I Football State Championship semifinals
Narbonne has essentially obliterated its opponents all season, but it will see a stiff test from Centennial, which knocked Vista Murrieta (Murrieta, Calif.) out of the top 10 this past weekend.
Next five: Our Lady of Good Counsel (Olney, Md.), Archbishop Moeller (Cincinnati), Hoover (Ala.), Trinity (Louisville), Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas)
Dropped Out: No. 8 Vista Murrieta (Murrieta, Calif.)
Sharks take 2-0 series lead with 7-2 win vs. Kings
Canadiens grab 3-0 series lead with 3-2 win

text: USDA Rallies Social Media Troops With #MyFarmBill USDA unleashes new social media platform with call to action on Farm Bill Published on: Sep 5, 2013 USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack Wednesday made a special plea to all of agriculture's social media users – tell Congress about the importance of the farm bill through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube or a blog. "Time is running out for Congress to pass a Food, Farm and Jobs bill," Vilsack said in a video posted on the USDA's latest social media channel, Instagram. "Use #MyFarmBill to let us know how this bill affects you and your community." The USDA issued a similar call last December just prior to the one-year extension of the 2008 farm bill. That extension will expire Sept. 30. Though the Senate moved forward with their version of the bill earlier this summer, the House has yet to muster a full bill, passing only farm-related measures and leaving food stamps behind just before summer recess.USDA unleashes new social media platform with call to action on Farm Bill With legislators set to return to Washington D.C. next week, there has yet to be a firm plan from House leaders on a way forward. According to local reports, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has suggested passing a nutrition title and moving on with a conference, however later statements suggested Cantor is not ready to make such a move. Regardless, Vilsack has continued his call throughout the month of August, bringing the farm bill discussion in wherever possible. He has noted that there could be big issues with the lack of a bill, including trade implications and market share losses – aside from the producer-centered issues that are crop insurance and disaster provisions.

step THREE: Your Advisor will meet with you to explain his plan and answer questions.
step FOUR: Whether you choose to implement some or all of his plan, your Advisor can guide you to make it happen! He'll also meet with you as needed to make sure you stay on track.

At just 24, Glenn Maxwell is one of the most promising cricketers in Australia's vast stocks. A big hitting batsman who can bowl handy off-spin, Maxwell has already featured prominently in the ODI and T20 sides, while he has recently broken into the Test team.
In a career that has only spanned 17 First Class matches, Maxwell already boasts the fastest half century in the Ryobi Cup.
A blistering 19 ball knock against the Tasmania Tigers launched his name into the selection stratosphere, with the panel excited by the Victorian's rare talents.
Later that year, he proved he could handle the longer form of the game, when he made a solid 103* against South Australia in the Bupa Sheffield Shield.
Maxwell was rewarded with a spot in the ODI side for the series against Pakistan, where he scored 124 runs in four appearances.
The "Big Show" is well known for his big-hitting, and he has already cleared the fences 11 times for Australia in the 50 over game.
The Victorian all-rounder pipped David Hussey for a spot in the World T20 tournament in Sri Lanka, where he received limited opportunity with both bat and ball.
Selectors showed that Maxwell was on the horizon by picking him for the Australia A game against South Africa. The Victorian star didn't disappoint, scoring 64 and taking 2/70 against the world's best test team.
Although he didn't get too many opportunities with the bat, Maxwell did pick up three wickets in the two game t20 series against Sri Lanka earlier this year.
Opening the batting against the West Indies in Perth, Maxwell blasted an unbeaten 51 off 35 to confirm his status as one of the biggest hitters in the country. His knock included 48 runs from boundaries.
A duck in the following match was forgiven when he picked up four wickets and produced a run out at the WACA.
Maxwell made his Test debut during the much maligned tour of India earlier this year. The wickets of Vijay, Kohli, Jadeja and Dhoni couldn't prevent an innings defeat in Hyderabad, while a further three scalps in Delhi failed to inspire his teammates.
The Mumbai Indians must have liked what they saw from the all-rounder, after they forked out over $1,000,000 dollars for Maxwell at the IPL auction.
Apart from his form with the bat and the ball, the young Victorian has already proven to be one of the country's finest fielders. His catching is first rate, while he possesses one of the deadliest arms in the game.

Differences Between Traditional And Roth IRAs
An individual retirement account, IRA, allows you to save money for retirement in a tax-advantaged way. This account is set up at a financial institution such as a bank or brokerage and an individual is able to save for retirement with tax-free growth or on a tax-deferred basis. There are three main types of these accounts and each type has different advantages. The main types of IRA are traditional, roth, and rollover.
With a traditional IRA, you make contributions with money that you can deduct on your tax return. This means you will not pay tax on the contributions and any earnings that your account makes can potentially grow tax deferred until you withdraw them in your retirement. As an added benefit, many retirees also find themselves in lower tax brackets than when they were in the workforce, so this tax deferral means that the money being withdrawn in retirement may be taxed at a lower rate. This means more money for you.
With a Roth IRA, you'll make contributions with money that has already been taxed, which affords you the opportunity to grow your money tax free. In addition, the withdrawals that you make in retirement will also be tax free, since you can't be taxed twice on the same money. There are certain conditions that must be met, however, in order for this to apply.
Lastly, a rollover IRA is a traditional IRA that is intended for money that has been rolled over from another qualified retirement plan. This involves moving eligible assets from an employer sponsored plan like a IRA to Gold.
Regardless of which type of IRA you choose, the tax benefits will allow your savings to potentially grow or compound more quickly than in a taxable account. As many financial experts estimate that you may need 85% of your pre-retirement income in retirement, and many employer sponsored savings plans may not be enough to accumulate the savings you need, it can make sense to invest in an IRA. This will not only supplement current savings but allow you to gain access to a potentially wider range of investment choices than are available with your current plan. In addition, you'll be able to take advantage of potential tax deferred or tax free growth. To get the most out of your savings, you should try to contribute the maximum amount each year. Speaking with a professional can help you understand which form of IRA is best for you.

GoJane's affordable beanies look great with wavy hair peeking out from underneath, and at less than $10 they're also quite a steal.
Headbands are also making a big appearance this season, but these aren't the ones you wore as a little girl.

State parks and protected lands expand in the 1960s.
Report to the governor by the task force on outdoor recreation act program with a proposed bill, October 9, 1967: outdoor resources action plan for the second century of conservation in Wisconsin.
In the fall of 1966, Governor Warren Knowles chartered a committee to examine how effective Gaylord Nelson's 1961 Outdoor Recreation Act Program had been. This pamphlet is their report. It not only details what had been done in the previous five years but also recommends ways that the program could be expanded. We have included here its opening 26 pages but not a 15-page appendix with draft language for a bill to continue ORAP.

API Sells a Vision
API kicked off their second-day press conference with an appearance by Bob Weir (Grateful Dead, Ratdog), who just purchased a Vision console for his home studio. Weir told the crowd that he first encountered the API name nearly 40 years ago, when he and the Dead went into a San Francisco studio to record "American Beauty." Now he's back full circle and "pleased as punch," thinking that"he might buy another." Weir was followed by the head of the MP&E department at Berklee College of Music, which just purchased three Legacy Plus boards, calling it the "most musical console on Earth, with the definitive tools that students need." The company was also showing off the 1608, with Grammy-winning engineer Vance Powell doing demos. And they had a new 500 Series compressor on display, the 527. Now it's on to their 40th-anniversary bash tonight at the Roseland Ballroom. Hottest ticket at the show, with Sonny Landreth as the house band and a scheduled guest appearance by Mr. Weir himself. Should be fun!

If you like to try the places you see on TV for a bite to eat, here is one for you...Pawleys Front Porch in Columbia, South Carolina. It offers hungry travelers a taste of good cookin'.
It is one of Guy Fieri's visits on Diners, Drive In's and Dives. The burgers, fries and onion rings seem to be a hit and a delight for any one's pallet, but make sure that you check the chalk board for specials. There are great options.
Pawley's is best known for its burgers. However, don't get picky because they will only fix them the way you read them on the menu. But...you have choices for your half pound burger. You choose from four different types of buns.
The famous burgers are named after different parts of the state including CawCaw Creek, which is the chef's favorite, jalapeno pimento cheese, bread and butter pickle pickled green tomato, apple wood smoked bacon and grilled onions.
But the cities and the speciality burgers do not stop there. Fripp Island is southern salsa, boursin cheese and fried green tomato and the chef recommends either pretzel or ciabatta bun. The Rockville is sauteed Vidalia onions and wild
mushrooms and gruyere cheese and the list goes on.
The signature Front Porch burger is just a burger, BUT then you have the options of several kinds of cheeses, bacon, chili or Frank's Red Hot bleu cheese to top it off.
All burgers are freshly ground daily from Angus chuck roast. They are seasoned with a blend of secret spices and portions are measured by hand at 8 oz.
AND...if burgers are not on your list of preferred foods you will find chicken, salads, fish tacos,shrimp, fried crawfish tails and so much more.
forget your side dishes. Hand cut fries, Frank's red hot onion rings, sweet potato fries or pasta salad.
The fried green tomatoes make for a fantastic appetizer.
Although the restaurant appears to be a bar...it is so much more. The food is great and there is not only seating inside, but also a covered area for outdoor dinning. So don't be fooled.
However, there is a bar and if you are one that dabbles in different beers there are plenty of slections about 8 on tap, 14 domestic bottles and 22 imported micro-brews. You will also find plenty of alcohol selections.
Pawleys has two locations:
In the heart of Columbia
827 Harden Street
Mt. Pleasant
608 Long Point Road, Unit A
Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464

Your baby's doctor and/or nurse will probably:
1. Check your baby's weight, length, and head circumference and plot the measurements on the growth charts.
2. Ask questions, address any concerns, and offer advice about how your baby is:
Feeding. Newborns should be fed when they seem hungry. Breastfed infants eat about every 1 to 3 hours, and formula-fed infants eat about every 2 to 4 hours. Your doctor or nurse may observe breastfeeding and help with technique. Burp your baby midway through a feeding and again at the end.
Peeing and pooping. Newborns should have several wet diapers a day. The number of poopy diapers varies, but most newborns have 3 or 4 soft bowel movements a day. Tell your doctor if you have any concerns about your newborn's bowel movements.
Sleeping. A newborn may sleep 16 hours a day or more, often for 2 to 3 hours at a time, with one longer stretch at night. Newborns should not go longer than 4 hours without eating.
Developing. In the first month, babies should:
3. Perform a
physical exam
with your baby undressed. This exam will include an eye exam, listening to your baby's heart and feeling pulses, inspecting the umbilical cord, and checking the hips.
4. Update immunizations.
Immunizations can protect infants from serious childhood illnesses, so it's important that your baby receive them on time. Immunization schedules can vary from office to office, so talk to your doctor about what to expect.
Here are some things to keep in mind until your next routine visit at 1 month:
These checkup sheets are consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Bright Futures guidelines.

I've never had my phone open, so I don't know....
Is there one speakerphone speaker on the bottom, or two?
I've noticed that even though my phone has two holes (one on each side of the usb connection), sound only comes out of one of them. If it's playing music and I cover the left hole, it blocks 95% of all sound.
Is that normal?
Is that how it's supposed to be?
Why are there two holes?

Azraai upbeat despite Negri defeat
Negri Sembilan coach Azraai Khor Abdullah believes his side can come back from Friday's 3-2 defeat to ATM in the first leg of their Malaysia Cup quarter-final clash.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
Following a goalless first half at the Majlis Perbandaran Selayang Stadium, ATM surged ahead in the 55th minute through D. Christie Jayaseelan and doubled their lead six minutes after when Bruno Martelotto danced past two defenders before clinically firing into the back of the net.
However, the Deer were handed one back in the 73rd minute when Armed Forces goalkeeper Farizal Harun smashed a clearance straight at substitute Firdaus Azizul, and could only watch as the ball sailed over him and into the back of the net.
Hairuddin Omar restored the hosts' two-goal lead seven minutes later when he curled home a sublime effort, but Shakir Ali scored with a spectacular scissors-kick a minute from time to pull another one back for Negri.
Despite ending up on the losing side on the night, Azraai believes his side have every chance of pipping their opponents to a last-four berth when they meet for the return leg on Tuesday as the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium.
"This was a good result and it has given us a boost," he said after the game.
"We did not give up and I'm confident we can do what we have do back home [in the second leg] - it is our fortress after all."
The 59-year-old, who led the Deer to the Malaysia Cup last season and also won it twice with Kedah, admits he was frustrated with his side's profligacy in the opening period, but was ultimately content with the way they responded after the break.
"We didn't take advantage of our chances in the first half," Azraai added. "I told my players they needed to up their game.
"We were lucky with the first goal - a mistake from the opposition keeper that doesn't happen often.However, our second goal will help should the away goals rule come into play.
"We need to give it our all. This is a do-or-die mission for us."
ATM coach B. Sathianathan expressed disappointment his side let their opponents back into the tie, and conceded Farizal was to blame for the visitors' first goal.
"We were leading 2-0 but our mistakes gave them [Negri] the boost they needed to pour forward," he said. "Our defence looked very shaky.
"We need to try our best in the second leg and I hope our keeper will not repeat the same mistake again."
The winner of this tie will meet either Pahang or LIONSXII in the semi-finals, with the former holding a 2-1 aggregate lead from the first leg.

Are you a victim of verbal abuse?
Have you ever been interrupted in mid-sentence to be told you're "wrong"? Perhaps you're talking to someone and they mock you, or accuse you of not telling the truth. While this might sound like another round of presidential debates, these are actually signs of an emotionally damaging phenomenon known as verbal abuse.

It was odd to see such a gorgeous day on the first weekend in March, and that wasn't the half of it. This past Saturday was exceedingly strange in two other ways.
First, one of the Lehigh Valley's most colorful characters caught up to me as I was cycling near Mertztown, and he had an alarming story with chilling déjà vu elements. Hours later, I received a weird telephone call from somebody in the Seattle area who seemed to think I had something to do with presidential candidate Rick Santorum's Secret Service detail.
I'll get back to that phone call, but during Saturday's ride, as I was casually cruising down a slight descent in eastern Berks County, Art "The Dart" McHugh came along and suggested I'd "never get anywhere by coasting."
His brow was covered with perspiration, indicating that instead of coasting, he had been hammering away at his pedals for miles, something he has been doing habitually for decades. As we rode together at a saner pace, he told me he had a heart attack 11 weeks earlier. I couldn't believe it. This is a guy, only 59, who never smoked and always has been in great condition.
In recent years, he has worked as the enormously popular and entertaining announcer for the professional bicycle racing program at the velodrome in Trexlertown, and continues to go on grueling recreational rides. In past years, McHugh earned his "The Dart" nickname for his blinding speed and daring as a professional racer.
Even harder to believe were the similarities between his heart attack and what happened to my son, Neal, a few years ago.
Both were relatively young (Neal in his mid-40s) and fit and neither was riding alone when stricken. McHugh was with fellow racers Bobby Livingston and Pat Marzi; my son was with me. Both, by the way, share my love of motorcycles, and McHugh and I have gone on rides together.
Both McHugh and Neal never previously had serious symptoms but both had chest discomfort and difficulty breathing during their rides. "I got off my bike, trying to catch my breath," McHugh told me. That's what Neal said when he stopped during our ride.
Both had their lives saved by the prompt responses of ambulance crews and both then had "stents" inserted by heart surgeons to open coronary arteries, which, in either case, were nearly completely blocked. Both lost consciousness at their respective hospitals, although McHugh was unpleasantly awake during one series of treatments. "They had to hit me with a defibrillator four times," McHugh said. "The first one and the last one, I was awake. … Your whole chest just slams."
Another notable cyclist, velodrome director Marty Nothstein, was deeply grateful that McHugh survived, but kept things lighthearted. "He's not Art the Dart anymore. He's the Art Attack," Nothstein joked.
At home, on the couch to recover after trying to keep up with McHugh on our ride back from Berks County, I got a phone call.
The caller said he was in Washington and wanted to know something about my role in the Secret Service protection of Santorum. He said something about his "caucus" and how a "national operator" gave him my name and home telephone operator. He also said something about "Fox News" being interested. I was a little confused and thought he meant Washington, D.C. and some sort of congressional caucus.
Actually, he was calling from the Seattle area and was referring to the Washington state Republican caucus vote being held that day. (Mitt Romney beat Santorum and other GOP candidates.)
The caller is a prominent Seattle area physician who is active in Republican politics, but I'm going to withhold his name for now because I couldn't find out what was going on with this odd call.
I told him I had nothing to do with the Secret Service and thought the person who gave him my name and number may have been "pulling your leg." He hung up after I told him I'm a newspaper guy who has written negative things about Santorum, most recently just two weeks ago.
It would be an extraordinary coincidence for somebody in Seattle, who was asking about Santorum, to get my home phone number by accident, and Santorum's Secret Service protection reportedly began shortly before that call was made to me.
Later, overcome with curiosity, I called the physician. I got his answering machine and left messages, but he never got back to me. If he ever does call to tell me what was going on, I'll let you know.
In the meantime, as Yogi Berra put it, it's déjà vu all over again

Comments about LA SPORTIVA Women's Helios Trail Running Shoes, Green/Pink:
I didn't expect to get these - the EMS salesperson suggested them. I didn't even like how they looked on the shelf. When I tried them on they felt amazing though, and I loved how they looked on my feet. (it matters... I'm wearing them for hours on end... and I'm so tired of the tiedyed pumped-up clown shoe look of many sneakers this year).
On the first run with them, I couldn't believe how speedy they were! I ran the six-mile loop of Central Park a full 3 minutes faster than my previous best time. On long road runs, 20 miles was about the max I could comfortably run in these. Great lightweight running shoe. I can't wait to get more trail time in with them. Great for travel too, they are comfy and cute on plane rides.

The Virginia women's basketball team fell 80-59 at NC State, the fifth-straight loss for the Cavaliers, despite a 23-point performance from Ataira Franklin
"Franklin is really carrying us, especially on the offensive end," said Virginia head coach Joanne Boyle. "We have to get her some help. We need to stay together. We need more people to step up and help her. We need to get an inside-outside game. I have to get some post play going here. We just have to fight for everything. No one is going to give us anything."
The Cavaliers fell to 15-13 and 7-10 in the ACC with the loss.
Sarah Imovbioh scored nine points with nine rebounds, including eight offensive boards and China Crosby scored six points with four assists, three steals, and two rebounds.
Telia McCall returned to action after missing the last two games, scoring 12 points with four rebounds.
Virginia closes out the regular season by hosting No. 24 Florida State on Sunday, March 3 at 1 p.m.

A pioneer of not just Singapore's DnB scene but underground electronica in general, Kiat is a firm stalwart who becomes more relevant with each year. Here we break an exclusive interview and a review of his LP 'The Inner Galaxy' released in June 2012. Catch his performance with album collaborator, Isaac Aesili for Midnight Shift's 3rd Anniversary on 17 Nov 2012.
Kiat is one of the founding members of Singapore-based music collective Syndicate and a pioneer of the drum & bass sound in South-East Asia. With more than 17 years of DJ-ing experience behind him, he certainly knows what makes people move. In extending his musical journey into production, Kiat delves even deeper into an exploration of sonic possibilities. His latest digital release, 'The Inner Galaxy', is anything but formulaic.
The Inner Galaxy is a cosmic voyage of sorts, traversing a spacious alien landscape of experimental electronica. The album melds experimental hip hop beats with dubby bass-lines and soulful vocals, featuring collaborations from all over the world - Isaac Aesili, Klose, Vandetta, Agzilla, Kemo and Digital (UK).
The album leads with the darker, mind-bending tracks. 'Cat Scorpion' nails the introduction before pushing into the metallic mood scape of 'Syndicate' and 'Bounty. 'Alchemy' switches things up a little, featuring a deep groove cut up with an intricate beat – a divine collaboration with breakbeat pioneer Agzilla.
The dancier tracks surface later in the 13-track sequence. 'Sunset Skank Over Jupiter' surprises with its cheeky carnival sounds; and the rolling bass-line in 'Sine Language' is sure to please.
'Method' is the track that inspired the album, as Kiat reveals. It is a melancholic groove, permeated by the sounds of piano, horns and Isaac Aesili's soulful vocals.
After the solemn beginnings of the album, 'Pathway To Wakatipu' rounds things off on a warmer note. With its 'freedom' chant, the track makes for an uplifting ending, befitting of a work that has broken new ground.
Discovery is at the heart of The Inner Galaxy, an album that took 3 years to come to fruition. Behind the desolate themes is a probe into fresh territory as Kiat decidedly pushes for progression, crafting unique, textured soundscapes.
Preview the album and its highlights in an exclusive mini-mix, put together by DJ KoFlow:
As Syndicate promises, The Inner Galaxy by Kiat is the first in a series of forthcoming releases, so stay tuned.

How long have you been involved in music and where are you at right now in this point?
Music has always been in my life as a child but I started actively getting involved in it as a DJ just around 1992 I think… it's been a long time! Right this very moment, I've been involved with the Syndicate project and frankly, things could not be more exciting. There have been moments over the last few years before we started Syndicate where I felt I've wanted to settle down (which I did) and what I deem a normal life but as with most things, life threw me a huge curveball which I embraced.
You are versatile in many genres, what is your approach to music?
My approach to music mirrors my general approach to life. It is usually a direct reflection of my current mind state…which is usually a response to whatever is happening around me. I've been fortunate enough to embrace music fully when hip-hop was still in it's infancy with very positive culture of building communities of music, art and dance. So I think it instilled in me and open-mindedness to everything I come across, music or otherwise. Along the journey, I've been blessed with extremely inspiring people around me such as Najip Ali, Theseus Chan, Jeremy Boon, Jason Tan, Jonathan Yeo, Ashidiq (list goes on) who kept pushing me creatively to not settle for what is around and to keep searching through the creative process and that has pretty much kept me going till present day. I've been through many musical phases in my life and the only consistent thing that keeps me excited is to discover new sounds/ideas that excite me enough to present it to others… I've always believed it's not what people want to hear but rather what they need to hear.
High point of your career?
There's always been a lot of high points in my musical career right through to this present day but if I had to pick a defining moment, it would have to be after my lowest point in musical career. I think it was a December back in mid-2000's where at this point, I've been trying my hand at producing drum and bass for about 2 years and it wasn't really getting anywhere with the UK labels. Although I did write music for my own sets, the fact that there weren't any labels picking up what I was doing did take its toll on me as I did spend countless hours in the studio improving my craft. DJing wise, it got abit uninspiring as well for me as well. At that point, me and Ashidiq were invited to play a gig in New Zealand which I think changed my perception of my own music. I think it was the first gig where we played a 100% uncompromised set comprising of our own music and the feedback we had was tremendous. Ever since then, it encouraged me to have abit more faith in my own ability to produce music. The other highlight was receiving a call from Goldie out of nowhere saying he was really into our beats of course!
Some producers you are listening to right now?
I don't listen to much music at home as people think I do but what's on rotation on my iTunes is music from Gema Putra, Izaak Stern, Funk Community, Kidsuke, Mala, amongst many, many others. There's really a lot of music around these days so it's really hard to pin point specific ones but yeah, it's mostly these guys that do it for me musically at the moment.
What's your pet peeve?
Poor sound systems in clubs! People tend to think that louder is better but I think that's not always the case. I believe a well-tuned sound system with good levels allows the crowd to enjoy the music for longer periods of time as it eliminates ear fatigue. I just feel that it's a pity when they put in all this effort to do a night and the sound isn't well tuned and it in turn compromises the music. It's sort of like seeing a good movie in a poorly maintained cinema. I guess not everyone is as fixated with the sound as I am but I just think sometimes, a venue can be so much more if they paid attention to the right things. The other thing I'm begining to notice is the shortening of attention spans in the clubs…probably due to our accelerated ways of consuming music these days. As with all things, we have to constantly rethink how we present the content to the audience. Having said that, it does give me something else to think about when I'm doing a DJ set….
How did you start collaborating with Isaac Aesili?
This is an interesting story! A couple of years ago, I was in Auckland on holiday and I picked up his album, before I knew who he was, from a local record store and it was really the soundtrack to my stay in New Zealand. Fast forward to a few months after, I noticed this ultra happy Kiwi guy at Homeclub during one of our earlier Syndicate gigs and I was introduced to him by Debbie Chia. Furthermore, Maya Lynn and Dean (Funk Bast*rd) was just telling me that I should meet their friend Isaac who is in town as we'd probably get along. At that point, I was wondering how come so many of my friends had a friend called Isaac who is in town whom they wanted me to meet. So we did meet the next day for a catchup and it blew me away that we had so many common friends in New Zealand and also, it was the same Isaac Aesili whose album I bought a few months ago. We kept in touch via email and along the way, I sent him some beats I had done to see if he wanted to add something on to it. A few weeks later, he sent me a quick bounce of his recording over my tune and needless to say, I was speechless… And this is how it began :)
What is your favorite track off 'The Inner Galaxy'?
Each tune on the album has it's own story behind it so they are all favorites to me but I think the tune that holds the weight for me is 'Method' for so many reasons. I think it was the first downtempo tune I had written in a long time and I wrote it to get away into my own mind as I was going through many changes in my life, most notably would be getting married! This tune was also the first of many tunes that allowed me to explore other musical ideas that I've secretly kept inside but was afraid to share due to personal reasons. Furthermore, it gave me my first opportunity to work with not only a wonderful vocalist like Isaac but also incorporating live instruments like his horns and percussion which took the tune beyond what I had envisioned when I first wrote it. And lastly, Jason encouraged me to play the keyboards live during the final touches to the track in the studio...so that really got me out of my comfort zone and that inspired me to write the album.
What's next for you now?
Currently, I'm working on some visuals for Izaak Stern's Subsession set in December so that's really keeping my mind occupied! In addition, me and Cherry are working on building our portfolio for System Sovereign, which is a boutique agency that we've set up earlier this year to offer branding/communication solutions for our clients. On the musical front, I'm planning something for the upcoming Midnight Shift Anniversary which I'm very excited about. On a personal tip, my mind's been drawing a blank in the studio which has been bothering me for months...I'm guessing it's a result of being in this country for too long as I haven't take a vacation yet to soak in new experiences all year. As a result, I'm off to Iceland for an isolated vacation from the world of sorts later this year for a few weeks. Hopefully, being away from this madness we call home would allow my mind to look at things in a different light.
Point us to a website link?
www.syndicate.sg and www.qilinmusic.com :)
Tell us something about yourself not many people know.
I don't respond positively in a crowded space like clubs. Crowds just makes me anxious and I mentally shut off when I see a lot of people in an enclosed space.
What can we expect for the Midnight Shift 3rd Year Anniversary?
At this point, all I can say it it will be a completely different set from what I normally play at Syndicate and it will also be a preview into the sounds for 2013. It's quite hard to pin it down musically so I guess the best way to find out is to come down :)
