Looking at the TT prestige trimax series, there is the 60 with input modulation of 16 to 60K MBH. The next size up is the trimax solo 110, with input modulation of 30 to 100k MBH
I understand that the 110 unit does not modulate low enough given the size/mass of the fine/tube zones, leading to short cycling, which led to the advice to take a look at the trimax 60.
What impact does air-sealing and insulation of the house have in all of this? The rooms with the baseboads units are both facing the north side of the house and they are pretty cold
in the winter. The addition was build about 15 years ago and insulation was part of the building code back then but I am not sure that they really followed it.
At this point I am looking into a energy home performance audit to get a better understanding of how leaky the house really is.

By Paul R. Hollrah, Guest Writer
Ronald Reagan brought down the Soviet Union during the 1980s by bankrupting the "evil empire," forcing the Kremlin to try to compete with his "Star Wars" missile defense program. They couldn't keep pace in the arms race and the Soviet empire imploded.
So, as we now find ourselves racing headlong toward the so-called "fiscal cliff," is this payback time for international communism? Is that what Barack Obama is all about? I have never been much of a conspiracy theorist… I try as best I can to stick to what we actually know to be true… but I'm beginning to see the outlines of a major international conspiracy. So humor me for a few moments, if you will.
In early 2008, when it looked as if Barack Obama might actually defeat the vaunted Clinton political machine, an article titled "The First Time I Heard of Barack" circulated on the Internet. It was written by a man named Tom Fife who claimed to have made frequent trips to Moscow in the early 1990s, working on a software-development joint venture with Russian partners.
On a trip to Moscow in early 1992, he and several other Americans were invited to dine at the apartment of their Russian associate. As he describes the evening, everything went well until late in the evening when their Russian partner's wife, a hard core communist, launched into an anti-American tirade. She said, "You Americans always like to think that you have the perfect government and your people are always so perfect. Well then, why haven't you had a woman president by now? You had a chance to vote for a woman vice-president and you didn't do it… Well, I think you are going to be surprised when you get a black president very soon."
The Americans expressed the opinion that, yes, there was nothing to prevent a black man or a black woman from being elected president. The right person, at the right time, could easily be elected. To which the woman responded, "What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist? Well, you will; and he will be a Communist."
As her husband tried vainly to change the subject, one of the Americans said, "It sounds like you know something we don't know."
According to Fife, she replied, "Yes, it is true. This is not some idle talk. He is already born and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of Presidents. He is what you call 'Ivy League.' You don't believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That's right, a chocolate baby! And he's going to be your President."
I tried several times to locate Tom Fife so that I could ask him to confirm or deny the story attributed to him, but with no success. However, a four-part interview — Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 — with Fife, by Jeff Rense, has recently surfaced:
Fast forward to the late '80s or early '90s, when Obama would have been in his late 20s. Postman Allen Hulton regularly delivered mail to the home of Bill Ayers' parents in Glen Ellyn, Ill., a Chicago suburb. The Ayers family was quite proud that they had helped finance the education of a young black foreign student. One day, Hulton met the young man, who he claims was Barack Obama, on the sidewalk in front of the Ayers home. And when Hulton asked the young man about his plans for the future, he replied that he was going to be president of the United States.
Fast forward once again some ten or twelve years when a young black Illinois state senator first emerged as a rising star in the Democratic Party. On June 11, 2003, during the 108th Congress, Rep. Victor Snyder (D-AR) introduced House Joint Resolution 59, a proposal for a constitutional amendment to eliminate the "natural born Citizen" requirement of Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution. The Snyder proposal was followed by H.J.R. 67, introduced on Sept. 3, 2003, by Rep. John Conyers, a radical black Democrat from Michigan. The Conyers amendment would have required only that presidents be U.S. citizens for 20 years, eliminating the "natural born" requirement. Few members could see the need to amendment the Constitution. Both proposals died in committee.
However, on July 27, 2004, an unknown young black man, Illinois state senator Barack Obama, delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention, creating immediate speculation among Democrats that he might one day be a candidate for president.
Just over five months later, on Jan. 4, 2005, early in the 109th Congress, Representative Conyers made a second attempt with the introduction of H.J.R. 2, proposing the same language as contained in H.J.R. 67 of the 108th Congress. And on April 14, 2005, Representative Snyder made yet another attempt, introducing H.J.R. 42, containing language identical to his H.J.R. 59 of the 108th Congress.
Since the "natural born Citizen" requirement of the U.S. Constitution had never before created a shortage of presidential candidates, why did the congressmen feel the need to overturn the desire of the Founders that all presidents must be "natural born" citizens? Perhaps we should be asking them what they knew about Obama's lack of eligibility, and when did they know it?
Barack Obama was elected to the United States Senate in November 2004 and was sworn in during the first week of January 2005. Within weeks after taking the oath as a U.S. Senator, he launched into a campaign for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
His principal opponent for the Democratic nomination was U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), but the powerful Clinton political machine was no match for the Chicago Democratic machine and on Aug. 27, 2008, a man with no real world experience… literally no experience of any kind… and who failed to meet the "natural born Citizen" requirement of Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution, was handed the Democratic presidential nomination.
However, as the convention drew to a close on Aug. 28, 2008, the chairman and secretary of the convention, Nancy Pelosi and Alice Travis Germond, respectively, had one final task to perform. It was their job to prepare certifications for all fifty state election boards, officially certifying the names, home addresses, and constitutional eligibility of the party's candidates.
The certification sent only to the State of Hawaii, pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes §11-113 which requires that all certifications must contain eligibility language, read as follows: "THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 though (sic) 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated candidates of said Party for President and Vice President of the United States respectively and that the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution."
The remaining forty-nine states received the following certification: "THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 though (sic) 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated as candidates of said Party for President and Vice President of the United States respectively:"
Affixed were the names and home addresses of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The documents were signed by Pelosi and Germond, chairman and secretary, respectively, of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, and notarized by Shalifa A. Williamson.
The phrase, "… and that the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution" was purposely omitted. Other than that, all of the documents were absolutely identical… even to the misspelling of the word "through" in the second line of the certifications.
So when did Pelosi first learn that Barack Obama was ineligible to serve as president of the United States? And who else was involved in the conspiracy to make him president?
And now, as the greatest nation in recorded history rushes headlong toward fiscal ruin, that same community organizer from Chicago who hoodwinked enough voters, or stole enough votes, to get himself elected to two terms in the White House, stands alone with the power to either save or to bring down our nation.
As he sits across the desk from Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), refusing to make real spending cuts and refusing to discuss entitlements reform, it is quite clear that he has no desire to prevent our country from plunging over the "fiscal cliff." Instead, as the committed communist he is, he would much prefer to see the capitalist system destroyed, and all of its adherents along with it. In the dark crevices where communists gather around the world, they are drinking to his health and cheering him on. This is known as "payback" time. Am I wrong?

ATLANTA - The ongoing disputes between Atlanta Community Schools and the Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational Service District has come to an end, after conflicts from June 2011, when former Superintendent Teresa Stauffer refused to sign a contract that would allow special education services through the intermediate school district plan.
Thursday evening, the Atlanta Community Schools Board of Education held a special meeting to approve one action item, authorizing Superintendent Don Haskin Jr. to sign the special education agreement for special education services through the AMA ESD. The motion was made by board member Dave Fisher and supported by Michael Talbot, and without further discussion the resolution passed unanimously.
"The past year, year and a half has been trying on everybody, but the lawsuit is gone and the previous superintendent is gone," President John Fazekas said. "It's better to forget about the past and move forward, or get out of the way of the people who can."
Fazekas said former Superintendent Teresa Stauffer submitted a letter of resignation on Oct. 10, canceling the contract as a consultant for the district's legal issues with the AMA ESD. Stauffer was contracted by the board in July to assist with the lawsuit, after she resigned from her leadership position in April.
"(Stauffer) is no longer associated with the Atlanta Community Schools district," Fazekas said. "We're not going to rehash this."
Haskin signed the agreement immediately after the meeting, and said it would be faxed to Superintendent Brian Wilmot.
"We don't have time to waste, services will resume on Monday," Haskin said. "We need to move forward at this time and we're going to do just that."

Rebuilding and realizing they might get beat up this season, the Magic created an upbeat slogan: We Will.
Only a handful of games remain, so it's time to update the club's message with next season in mind:
We Will… burn all footage of the 2012-13 season during a mass rally in downtown Orlando.
We Will …not blame Dwight Howard.
Wait a minute. Yes, We Will.
We Will …make sure that center Nic Vucevic toughens up and adds strength.
We Will …also make sure that Nik doesn't drink out of the same bottle between bench presses as Hedo Turkoglu did.
We Will …monitor Big Baby Davis' weight so he doesn't arrive for training camp by barge.
We Will …put everyone on the trading block except Vucevic, Maurice Harkless and Tobias Harris.
Because, like Bogie and Bacall… We Will always have Harris.
We Will …say goodbye to Hedo's agent with a $6-million phone call.
We Will …celebrate the final season of Gilbert Arenas' contract. Gilbert is owed $22.3 million, roughly what the Sacramento Kings are actually worth.
We Will …never forget you Al Barrington, er, Harrington.
We Will …beat out the Charlotte Bobcats and win the Biggest Losers lottery.
We Will …bring along a rabbit's foot, a four-leaf clover and Pat Williams, plus Chesley Sullenberger to pilot home the lottery prize.
We Will …not pay attention to Bobcats owner Michael Jordan sticking out his tongue as the ping-pong balls bounce.
We Will …not trash-talk Michael. Even at 50, Jordan could score 25 now on Orlando.
We Will …not share a speck of our top-secret info about our draft leanings to the Orlando media, which is, apparently, an arm of WikiLeaks. Or We Will have to kill them.
We Will …select Nerlens Noel if we have the No. 1 pick. Noel can be a game-changer defensively and take his time recovering from a torn ACL in the Grant Hill wing of the training room.
We Will …take point guard Marcus Smart if we have the No. 2 pick. Smart is 6-4, 225 pounds -- or the equivalent of two Jameer Nelsons.

Meg Caswell help???
Hi there!
I'm trying desperately to figure out how to contact this new show located in Chicago! I believe it's called Meg's Great Room???
You see, my amazing sister has helped me through an extremely hard time recently, helping me put pieces of my life back together, taking me in as a lost soul and more.
After all she has done for me, I want so much to do something great for her! Like have Meg visit her Chicago home and create a Great Room in the back part of her house.
I'm still broke, unemployed, trying to get on my feet- it's hard to know when I could adequately thank her without HGTVs help??? Please send me in the best direction to follow this dream I have for my wonderful sister and her adorable family.
May 03, 2013, 06:21 PM
Margo, it sounds like your sister would be very deserving and it's lovely that you want to do something for her. However, HGTV doesn't read these boards and 99.9% of the designer/decorators don't either. I'd suggest you go to the "Be on HGTV" and see if there is a call for Meg's show. Barring that, you might see if Meg is still in business in Chicago and appeal to her. Barring even that, you may be able to scrape together a small amount of money and see if you can find a design student or a decorator just starting out who might like to add to their portfolio. When I was starting in the business I did several "free" ReDesigns for people just to 1) get practice and 2) add to my portfolio. A ReDesign will use what your sister already has in a new way and usually there is little to no money expended. Good luck.

Bristol Academy extends reach overseas with first foreign studentsWith the doors to its brand new £1million training centre officially open, one of the UK's leading apprentice training providers, Bristol based S&B Automotive Academy, is showcasing its world-class facilities by launching a series of foreign student exchanges for the first time in its 41-year history. To get a flavour of what life is like as an apprentice in the UK, the Academy hosted 16 apprentice engineers and bus drivers from the G9 Automotive College in Hamburg, Germany, as part of a Europe-wide vocational training initiative called the 'Leonardo Programme' with support from the European Social Fund. In a reciprocal arrangement, S&B will be sending nine apprentices to Germany during February 2012 so that they can get an appreciation of life in the automotive industry on the Continent. A further three German exchange groups are being planned for next year. Designed to assist the development of vocational skills and training across Europe, including work placements for trainees, the Leonardo Programme has a budget of €1.75bn, which is helping to encourage UK organisations to work with their counterparts abroad. In what is expected to be another challenging year for employers in the UK automotive sector, S&B's Chief Executive, Jon Winter, claims that the exchange initiative will bring many benefits to the Academy and its apprentices: "In a world of global automotive brands, it's important for our learners to understand the international context of the industry they have chosen to make their career. This new exchange programme will enable apprentices and Academy staff alike to achieve a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the automotive arena in Europe. With the Academy's influence also extending to the USA and Asia, there's every possibility that this initiative could move further afield in the future." Continued Winter: "The need for skilled technicians across the world is on the increase and we actively encourage our apprentices to look at broader horizons during their training. Many of them have already learned the phrase 'Vorsprung durch Gelehrtheit', quite simply, 'Advancement through learning." In the 2010/11 academic year, S&B doubled the number of successful Apprenticeships over the previous year with some 350 apprentices graduating from the Academy. At the same time, achievement levels reached an all-time high with an overall success rate of 85%. For those learners on the Advanced Apprenticeship three-year programme, success rates were even higher, at over 98%. PHOTO CAPTION: As part of their exchange visit, S&B Automotive Academy arranged for the German apprentices to visit Hampshire bus operator, Bluestar, at its Barton Park depot. The students are pictured with S&B's Andy West (3rd right) and Steve Prewett, Bluestar's Area Engineering Manager (2nd right). Ends http://www.sandbaa.com

Best receivers under $1500
A/V receivers are the central hub of any home-cinema system. They provide the brains to process surround-sound signals, and the brawn to amplify them through the speakers. They allow you to retrieve sound and video from a variety of sources — and the better ones even allow for video upscaling.
Features are all important, and even today's low-cost models carry an assortment of functions that were once reserved for more expensive models. The latest trend is to eschew the physical iPhone/iPod docks in favour of built-in Airplay and even DLNA services to let Android users play along.
In this price range, you can expect to find receivers offering up to seven channels of amplification, and these extra channels can be used to support advanced speaker configurations, such as bi-wiring the front channels to improve stereo performance. There's also a growing use of Zone 2 functionality in this market — allowing you to have different areas of the house wired for different sound.
Installing your receiver is no longer a daunting prospect, with the widespread adoption of automatic set-up routines. These use a supplied microphone and a variety of test signals to accurately set up your system without any effort.
Connectivity is equally important, especially since the arrival of high definition. All of these receivers feature HDMI digital inputs and outputs, and allow video switching between compatible devices and your screen. This eases operation and cuts down cable clutter. Many models also offer video up-conversion, which will improve the picture performance of your standard analog sources, usually up to component video quality.
Networking has also become commonplace, with the receiver plugging in to both a home network and the internet, letting it stream files and access web-based music services, plus more.
High-definition audio is here, with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio able to deliver uncompressed, "studio-quality" audio, and the receivers here can decode these formats.

Corn writes Sessions "endorsed a book" by David Horowitz that labels President Barack Obama as a "radical Machiavelli." Speaking at a conference operated by Horowitz, the senator said that while reading one of the conservative author's books, "I hit the last chapter lying in bed, and I awakened myself and had an epiphany, 'cause he was talking about our president. And I've been wrestling with how do we deal, what is this, how has this been working, and how can we do better, and how can we understand better, how to respond to his quite successful tactics politically."
A response from Sessions office is included in the piece. "Senator Sessions has always been respectful in his critiques of the President's policies. If you listen to the Senator's address it's obvious that he's not saying anything remotely along the lines of what you suggest," an aide told Corn.

TylerPaper.Com (Texas) (03.17.13)
On March 16, the East Texas Cares Resource Center sponsored the eighth annual silent auction called "Matisse March Madness" to raise money for the Center, which assists HIV/AIDS patients. Executive director of the Center, Jeanette Deas Calhoun, stated, "We have the makings of a really, really exciting and fun art auction. This fundraiser is extremely important to our agency because it allows us to continue and support the programs that we have for our clients. Moneys generated will go directly into program services." Local artists donated approximately 170 art pieces to the silent auction expected to generate funds in the $12,000 to $16,000 range for the Center.
Approximately 150 people attended the auction held at The Market at the Crossing in Tyler, Texas. The auction included photographs; print art; acrylics; oil paintings; watercolor paintings; panels done with heavily textured fibers; vintage jewelry; hand-thrown, high fired pottery; and a blue dog lithograph. Bids ranged from $20 for a small object to an opening bid of $1,000 for a framed watercolor.
East Texas Cares Resource Center has experienced several names since its inception in 1989. It began as a hospice for HIV-positive persons called "His House, serving in that capacity for 12 years. In 2001, it became Tyler AIDS Services, which provided services to people living with HIV/AIDS as well as prevention education services to East Texas residents. The organization changed its name to the East Texas Cares Resource Center in October 2012 to better reflect its activities. Currently, its emergency assistance program provides case management and support for housing, utilities, and pharmacy needs for HIV clients.

My How Time Changes Things: TV Taboos and Other Controversies

But ass in that context means donkey.
The slang version of "ass" didn't always mean that portion of a person's anatomy that needs kicking. An ass was a human being who acted like a donkey. (Which is insulting to donkeys, but that never seems to bother anyone.) Calling a person an ass was impolite and blunt, but not even remotely close to obscene. I'm sure that that is the meaning of ass that the Stooges had in mind.

It was mentioned on a previous page about the naked butts on "American Horror Story."
Have there been any shots of bare butts on broadcast TV since NYPD Blue?
The Latin countries consider that acceptable and not something to gasp at. I remember watching some programming on HBO where they feature television programming from other parts of the country and how the Latin countries and some of the European countries feature programming and commercials where some nudity and soft porn is quite the norm.
While traveling in Central America, I discovered there are over-the-air free tv stations airing those telephone sex line infomercials with soft-core porn running in the background, and this was between 9-11 pm. I was quite surprised to say the least,.

I was thinking of over the air broadcasts (which are regulated by the FCC), not cable. It seems to me that NYPD Blue's use of profanity and nudity pushed the limits to a point that we haven't seen since on ABC/NBC/CBS.

To me, it's not the amount of nudity but how invasive the intimacy that entails, even if a scene is barely hinted like on American Horror Story or Game of Thrones.

I think it depends on the show, True Blood's most explict scenes haven't been exactly about sex but rather the moment of intimacy that follows, Game of Thrones sex scenes, on the other hand, seem to contrast the devoted marital dynamic of the Targaryens and Starks to the lack of loyalty among the Baratheons & Lanisters.I haven't seen Smash but the network dramas I watch are not as explicit as cable. The most racy scenes are still usually more suggestive than explicit.
That's the point: I don't think it matters as of late, cable or network, the sex scenes are just as explicit.
Even without frontal nudity.
The most explicit sex scenes on network shows from Smash to Nip/Tuck seemed to be reserved for lovers and boyfriends/girlfriends. Unless it was a character driven show like Lost, sex practically disappeared as a component of the marital dynamic.

The reverse to early TV/movies with men about to spanked their wives was when the wives got mad at their husbands they would grab a cast-iron skillet like they were about to hit them with it
I saw an episode of I Love Lucy where Ricky turned Lucy over his knee like a naughty child and spanked her. They were both laughing in the scene, but it was just ridiculous. You'd never see that today without a heck of a lot of compaints.
Posted Apr 7, 2012 @ 9:07 PM
Partners aren't "dead" just because they are married, they aren't played just for laughs either, marriage has become a character study about people forced to live in close quarters together, characters who have their own code, their own secrets and their own divided loyalties, regardless if they are actually married or not.

Reviews for Summer Corn Salad(23)
Sort By :
I used fresh corn and it's a very good summer salad, but next time I will make extra dressing as I found it a little bland.
Love this recipe which I first made for a family on our church's "care calendar." It looked and tasted so good that I was hard pressed to give it away. I came home and made another batch, substituting cumin for the basil and adding a touch of garlic powder. Both ways, it's an excellent change from greens based salads. Though titled "Summer Corn Salad," it will be an all year salad for us.
This is a super easy side to make and I don't even like tomatoes & I love this salad!!
This was absolutely fabulous! Definitely use fresh corn and basil as it makes this salad incredibly fresh tasting. I will be making this salad over and over again during corn season - by far the best corn salad I have ever tried.
I Love this Summer Corn Salad :)

Arizona football notes: Scott carries on, UA to face tricky offense
Originally published: Oct 30, 2012 - 4:06 pm
Toward the end of Saturday's upset over No. 17 USC, Arizona quarterback Matt Scott ran a lead-option play, charged ahead for a gain of about six yards and slid to the turf to protect himself.
In the process, Scott was hit twice in the head while sliding, and appeared to have suffered a concussion, as he was seen vomiting on the field two plays before throwing his final touchdown pass of the day.
Two days after the game, Scott said he feels fine, and Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said that he did not notice anything abnormal about Scott's demeanor in Sunday evening's practice.
"I'm not going to talk in medical terms," Rodriguez said. "The trainers were concerned that he appeared nauseous. He appeared fine to me [Sunday] in walk-through."
Scott added that he had been feeling nauseous a few plays prior to taking the hit, and that he vomited because he felt "winded."
"I really don't think I got a concussion, honestly," Scott said.
"I felt something coming up a few plays before and I was trying to keep it down.
"All summer, when we were working with strength coaches, I was throwing up every time we ran. I don't think there's any concern. I've played this game for awhile. You're going to take hits, that's part of the game."
After throwing his final pass to David Richards that extended the lead to 10 points, Scott did not return to the game. Backup quarterback B.J. Denker entered the game for Scott, but did not attempt a pass.
Wildcats to face �multiple' offense in UCLA
The No. 22 Wildcats (5-3, 2-3 Pac-12) have faced pro-style offenses in Oregon State and USC, spread-option offenses like their own in Oregon and Oklahoma State, but this weekend is the first time that the Arizona defense will be tested by a scheme succinctly called �multiple' by Bruins coach Jim Mora.
UCLA redshirt freshman quarterback Brett Hundley has played well for the Bruins, leading them to a 6-2 start in Mora's first season.
"I remember him coming out of high school," Rodriguez said. "He's from Arizona [Chandler], so people know who he is. I always thought, �this is a guy who's going to have great success no matter where he goes."
The Bruins' offense is dependent on their run game and senior running back Johnathan Franklin. In two losses, Franklin has rushed for only 147 of his 1,042 yards, but Rodriguez said that the run game is not the only thing that UCLA does well.
"They spread you out, if you have weaknesses they'll try to expose them," Rodriguez said. "We have to maintain as much control as we can on offense."
Flowers continues adjustment to linebacker spot
UA junior linebacker Marquis Flowers had possibly the best game of his career against USC Saturday, recording two interceptions, a forced fumble and was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week on Monday. There remains work to be done, though, according to Rodriguez.
"He's taken to it pretty well, at least from a �buy-in' team standpoint," Rodriguez said. "He's getting better each week, but he's still learning the position. He wasn't there in spring practice or fall camp. He's excited because he thinks he can be really good at the position. He's done a better job, but other parts are still coming."
Flowers, the Wildcats' biggest linebacker at 6-foot-3, 221 pounds, leads Arizona in sacks with 3.5 and is second on the team in both tackles and tackles for loss, recording 55 and 7.5, respectively.

by Paula M. Davis
Watched by millions, Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest one-day sports spectacles on the planet. And at 2012's pinnacle gridiron match-up in Indianapolis (New York Giants, 21, New England Patriots, 17) National Football League (NFL) executive Marc Reeves '95 was in the thick of it.
The Kalamazoo College alumnus was busy hosting a global guest list in Indy because he is the league executive charged with growing the NFL's brand and fan base internationally, including in Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.
Popularity of the American sport is burgeoning in places like London, where the NFL's yearly game at Wembley Stadium had a sold-out crowd of 86,000 last fall.
So as Reeves worked behind the scenes at the Super Bowl to develop more international inroads for the league, what else was on his mind?
"I thought a lot about K and its immeasurable value to me," says the 1995 graduate, who was recruited for his current position with the NFL more than two years ago. Prior to that, Reeves held executive posts at IMG, one of the world's top sports-marketing and sports agent firms.
But his career path toward the business side of sports, working on an international stage, began at Kalamazoo College two decades ago.
A Toronto, Ontario, native and tennis player, Reeves wanted to attend an American college after graduating high school in 1991. The economics and marketing major felt U.S. schools would offer him a more personalized education than the large public institutions in Canada.
Among other options, he chose K for its "balance between academic strength and a progressive tennis program." Nevertheless, he adds, "I don't think I was expecting to fall in love with both the program and school the way I did."
Much of that surprise had to do Reeves's six-month-long experience in France during his junior year.
When he chose K, Reeves wasn't even aware of the college's renowned study abroad program. But his experience overseas turned out to be the most important six months of not only his K years, but of his life, he says."It was really crucial to starting to see the world in a different way and seeing the opportunities that are out there. That's where you really, in a sense, find yourself," Reeves adds.
As a Canadian citizen 400 miles from home and going to school across an international border, Reeves was already on study abroad by attending K. But he says moving overseas into the home of a family in Strasbourg, France, offered him even greater cross-cultural immersion. "You're living on your own, living with a family, and experiencing a totally different way of life. As much as you know things are different over there, nothing really substitutes for the actual experience.
"My interest and love of doing things internationally and on a global scale began there," he says.
A lot of his love for K is also tied to the man who recruited him to the tennis team, Hornet coaching legend George Acker. Around the office Reeves still finds himself quoting the late Acker with remarks such as, "If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem" and "Good enough isn't."
"He taught us more about life than tennis. It was really something special," says Reeves, who returned to campus from his New York City residence last summer to attend the coach's memorial service.
In the early 1990s Reeves was a member of what former men's tennis coach Timon Corwin '86 characterizes as an "incredible recruiting class." There were a number of talented players, and the team sizzled on the court. Corwin remembers Reeves as a hard-working, ambitious young man with a lot of heart.
"He was very passionate about tennis and he was incredibly supportive of his teammates," Corwin says. "He never drifted from his commitment to the team. If anything, it got stronger every year."
Reeves always had a strong interest in the marketing side of sports. Even before attending K, "I was very focused, from the moment I figured out I wouldn't be a pro athlete," Reeves says.
While other young sports enthusiasts might have had Wayne Gretzky or Michael Jordan posters adorning their bedroom walls, Reeves idolized the likes of David Falk, Michael Jordan's agent.
"I realized that people who I looked up to more than the athletes were the people behind the deals," he says.
The USTA Boys National Tennis Championships hosted annually at Stowe Stadium provided Reeves his first glimpse and entry into the sports marketing world.
"I was all over all the various agents" at the tournament, Reeves says, armed with what he learned from researching the companies, including the two firms he wound up working for—ProServ and, later, IMG.
Representatives from ProServ were impressed enough with Reeves to hire him. He spent part of his senior year working at the firm and on his Senior Individualized Project: "The Economics and Marketing of Professional Tennis."
"I was a ground-level intern doing whatever work they needed me to do. From tracking down someone's rental car to answering fan mail. It gave me some fascinating lessons about how the industry really works," Reeves says. "It was the first time that I had a chance to glimpse behind the curtain."
And the peek only fueled his determination to make it in that world.
He also noticed that many of the agents were lawyers. After completing his ProServ experience and graduating from K, Reeves took an entry-level job at the Washington, D.C., law firm, Beveridge & Diamond, PC, a position secured through the help of K alumna Kathy Szmuszkovicz '77. There he learned that although he didn't want to work in a traditional firm he did want to earn a law degree.
He pursued that goal at New Orleans' Tulane University because of its widely recognized and highly regarded sports law specialty program. At Tulane Reeves also pursued an M.B.A. and graduated with both advanced degrees in four years. The D.C. experience showed him a work world he didn't want, and it provided an entrée into the one he did. An attorney at Beveridge and Diamond had connections that led to Reeves's first job associated with the NFL.
"I thought a lot about K and its immeasurable value..."As a result of that connection, during his student years at Tulane Reeves got an internship with the NFL Players Association. He later took an internship with the New Orleans Saints in football operations and management.
"Getting these jobs in sports is really hard. So you need a little extra help, and if you know what you want, you look for opportunities where you are to help deliver that," he says."The lesson you learn is network, network, network."
He benefited from another personal connection during his time at Tulane and landed an interview with IMG. He spent two summers working for the firm, first in New York and then in San Francisco, both unpaid internships.
"All my friends from law school and business school were making a lot more money than I was (at their summer internships) but I was thankful for the opportunity. You do it because you have a vision," he says.
That vision materialized into a full-time job at IMG as soon as he graduated from Tulane.
Reeves found IMG "a very entrepreneurial" place where he was supported in carving his own path.
"I found ways to work on deals and help create value for the (clients) I represented, whether a sporting event, an athlete, or a property," he says. He worked his way up through the ranks and eventually became vice president of the company's consulting division.
One of his major accomplishments was a $180 million deal with FIFA (the world's governing body for soccer) to secure promotion rights for VISA at the World Cup, the most watched sporting event on the planet.
"We successfully secured these rights away from Mastercard, which had held them for the previous 18 years," Reeves says.
In a separate deal, Reeves worked on behalf of VISA's marketing related to the Olympics, both for the games in Torino in 2006 and in Beijing two years later.
"All of the sudden I'm getting to combine two of my biggest passions"—sports and world travel, Reeves says.
His work for IMG drew the attention of a headhunter who recruited Reeves for the newly created position of international commercial director at the NFL.
"My experience of working really intensely to help VISA grow its brand outside the U.S. through sports was really well aligned with what the NFL was looking for," Reeves says.
Since January of 2010, Reeves has led all of the marketing, fan development, and sponsorship for the NFL overseas, including the massive game at Wembley Stadium.
"My scope is everywhere outside the U.S.," he says. And for that, he's grateful to K.
"From the life and leadership lessons learned from Coach Acker to getting the chance to go on foreign study and see the world to getting a foot in the door of the industry, K certainly played a big role," Reeves says. "That's not to say I would not have been able to do it without K, but (the college) certainly was very helpful and monumental in getting here."

The Poet's Companion: A Guide to the Pleasures of Writing Poetryby Kim Addonizio
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this fortuitous collaboration, two spirited poets, themselves teachers of poetry, offer guidance to aspiring beginners and those who have already published. Brief essays on the elements of poetry, technique, and suggested subjects for writing are each followed by distinctive writing exercises. ("Compare an actual family photograph with one that was never taken, but might have been.") The ups and downs of the writing life--including the inevitable visitations of self-doubt and writer's block--are here, along with tips about getting published. A special section contains twenty-minute writing exercises, and valuable appendixes cover further reading and marketing advice. On your own, this book can be your "teacher," while groups, in or out of the classroom, can profit from sharing weekly assignments.
Numerous examples of contemporary poetry, chosen for relevance and freshness, illustrate salient points and stimulate the imagination. By calling on their own experience and focusing on living American writers for their models, the authors introduce you to poetry as it is right now.
From the nuts and bolts of craft to the sources of inspiration, this book is for anyone who wants to write poetry-and do it well.

The Philadelphia Alliance for Child Trauma Services (PACTS) will increase the number of youth served who have experienced trauma and who receive evidence-based interventions for their symptoms. Objectives include: 1) increasing screening for traumatic stress symptoms in child-serving programs such as pediatric emergency departments, primary care clinics, juvenile court, and child welfare sites; 2) providing trauma-informed clinical assessments at child and adolescent behavioral health programs; 3) developing a coordinated network of service providers for expeditious referral of children and families; 4) offering early posttraumatic intervention using the Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI) to help prevent the development of PTSD; and 5) providing TF-CBT for children and adolescents who have full or partial PTSD with co-morbid disorders and difficulties. The center will increase the number of youth and families served each year, totaling 2,118 during the lifetime of the project.
The Arkansas Network for Early Stress and Trauma (NEST) will: 1) provide culturally competent, client-centered, family-focused, evidence-based assessment and treatment—including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP)—to 340 traumatized children aged 0–5 referred by child welfare professionals, early childhood educators, military partners and/or child advocates; 2) train, coach, and monitor fidelity in at least 70 mental health professionals to implement evidence-based interventions targeting young children; and 3) develop training materials, resource kits, and other tools to enhance trauma-informed practices for children aged 0–5 in court, child welfare, child advocacy, early childhood education, veteran, and military systems.
The Families Learning About Recovery (FLARES) Project will: 1) increase the number of mental health professionals trained in trauma-focused, evidenced-based interventions; 2) enable professionals, and children and families to have increased access to Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT); 3) adopt and sustain use of TF-CBT and CPT in community settings with fidelity; 4) improve treatment outcomes for children exposed to trauma; and 5) develop trauma-informed child-serving systems. FLARES expects to train 300 mental health professionals, 2,400 children, and 400 caregivers during the funding period.
BE-ME will be created by the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) and the 14 Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) statewide, partnering to address SAMHSA's Strategic Initiative related to violence and trauma. Project goals are to: 1) train CMHCs' licensed and nonlicensed staff to understand the impact of trauma and how it relates to an individual's response to treatment; 2) implement a statewide trauma screening and assessment process using evidence-based tools; 3) conduct specialized training for the behavioral health workforce to provide trauma-specific services; 4) empower children in care and their families to direct their own services through trauma-informed support services; and 5) develop a feedback structure to inform and evaluate development of the proposed trauma-informed system. A SHARE (Strengthening Hope and Resilience Everyday) website will be developed for trauma education and training. Approximately 15,960 children will be screened, assessed, and offered trauma-specific, evidence-based services during the grant period.
Project lnterCSECT will establish a network of therapists who will provide evidence-based treatment services for Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC) in Georgia aged 11–17. Additionally, the project will: 1) train Network therapists in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT); 2) strategically identify/develop and disseminate additional evidence-informed intervention components to TF-CBT–trained therapists that will provide the Network with additional tools to best engage and serve CSEC clients (TF-CBT+); and 3) deliver TF-CBT+ to CSEC clients. Each year the number of CSEC youth served will increase as the number of therapists trained in TF-CBT increases, totaling 150 CSEC youth served during the grant period.
The Texas Children Recovering from Trauma initiative will transform children's mental health services in Texas into a trauma-informed care system that fosters resilience and recovery. The target populations are children and adolescents aged 3–17 who are from military families and/or who have experienced or witnessed trauma. The initiative will work to transform Texas's mental health services, beginning with two local Mental Health Authorities (community mental health centers) in central Texas as pilot sites. The project will serve 1,360 unduplicated children and adolescents during the grant period, at least 10 percent of whom (136) will be from military families. To reach this goal, the initiative will train the Texas mental health workforce, enhancing policies and practices, and increasing the number of mental health professionals trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
Trauma-Informed Care for Youth (TICY) and Families Residing in Lake County will use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to treat and serve children and adolescents, aged 2–18, and their families who have witnessed or experienced traumatic events. TICY will develop expertise in trauma care and become a leader in enhancing trauma-informed care in the community by providing training on the symptoms, impact, and treatment of trauma. The project will serve 1,000 clients in direct clinical services. Priority will be given to military families.
The University of Massachusetts Medical School Child Trauma Training Center (CTTC) will be developed by the Department of Psychiatry to improve identification of trauma, to increase trauma-sensitive care, and to increase access to evidence-based, trauma-focused treatment for at-risk and underserved children and youth aged 6–18 in central and western Massachusetts—including court-involved youth and youth in military families. During the grant period CTTC anticipates: 1) training 1,800 child-serving professionals in trauma-sensitive care; 2) reaching approximately 20,000 children/youth with trauma-informed services; and 3) providing TF-CBT to 900 children/youth. The service array for the CTTC includes 60 cities and towns in central Massachusetts (Worcester County) and 23 cities and towns in western Massachusetts (Hampden County). Additionally, the CTTC will create a centralized referral system that will include a network of agencies with documented training in evidence-based trauma treatment. Along with providing trauma-informed training, the CTTC will offer training for first responders (e.g., police) in trauma-sensitive practices, and will disseminate culturally competent trauma screening tools to pediatricians, juvenile courts, and schools.
The Hope Initiative will target children and adolescents aged 0–17 who have experienced neglect, physical abuse, and/or sexual abuse. The program will serve 810 unduplicated participants during the four-year project period, engaging parents and families in the treatment process. Priority will be given to children and adolescents of military families. Three evidence-based practices will be utilized: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Adapted Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Special Populations (A-DBT-SP), and Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). MCCC will conduct comprehensive outreach that is culturally appropriate and gender-appropriate to increase access to trauma-informed care as well as to improve outpatient trauma-focused treatment and services through implementation of the three interventions. Working in conjunction with regional partners, MCCC will also provide leadership in training and education to help providers in rural Kentucky better address the impact of trauma on children, adolescents, and their families.
An Evidence-Based Trauma-Informed Practice Model will be developed to build a comprehensive network of evidence-based, trauma-informed service providers to reach children aged 0–6 and their families throughout the rural/frontier area of northern New Mexico. The target populations are predominantly living in poverty, are about 75 percent Latino/Latina, and are at very high risk for traumatic experiences. The project will provide direct trauma-focused services to 1,580 individuals during the four years of the grant. A wide variety of integrated evidence-based, trauma-informed strategies will be used including Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBP), Circle of Security™, art therapy, and Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT).

Oscar's shouting would have alerted any burglar to his presence. If the burglar wanted a confrontation, then Oscar would have been attacked when he turned the corner into the bathroom. Any burglar retreating to the bathroom, would be unlikely to be going anywhere. Oscar had the door covered so, he would be safe enough. The guy would have been hiding, hoping Oscar would go away (assuming he wasn't checking the cistern for loot, but Oscar would still have the door covered).
It is at this point, Oscar should be shouting at Reeva, checking she had/was phoning the police, he had all the time he needed to check who was in the bathroom.

Family Winemakers sues Massachusetts over capacity cap
September 19th, 2006
In the previous post, we mention that a group sued Arizona over the discriminatory nature of their 20,000 gallon capacity cap. Now, the Family Winemakers of California, a group representing over 740 small and medium sized wineries, is suing the State of Massachusetts for the same reason. Paul Kronenberg, President of Family Winemakers, said the following about the 30,000 gallon production capacity cap in Massachusetts
Last year, the Supreme Court told Michigan and New York to stop the discrimination. But the Massachusetts legislators have chosen to ignore the Court's message that we are one national economic market. State laws that protect and perpetuate a wholesaler monopoly at the expense of wineries seeking market opportunities and consumers seeking a wider choice in wine, run counter to the concept of free trade within the nation.
Read the full press release here.
Other hurdles in Massachusetts have effectively kept it closed for direct shipping to date. On top of the 30,000 gallon capacity cap, there is a burdensome 14 page permit application as well as a 240 Liter (26+ cases) per individual volume limit across all wineries. Similar to the rule in Indiana, this would mean the winery that ships the 27th case would be in violation. FedEx and UPS are not shipping to Massachusetts for direct sales.
5 Responses to "Family Winemakers sues Massachusetts over capacity cap"
Hi guys,
Short word of praise… your blog is very good. It's brief and most importantly it's reader friendly
Keep up the good work.
At the risk of sounding like a traitor to the cause of wine, free trade and the American Way, I would like to challenge the premises that underlie Mr. Kronenberg's lawsuit against the revised wine shipping statutes in Kentucky. As a representative of the very small wineries in Colorado, the last thing I want to do is "protect and perpetuate a wholesaler monopoly at the expense of wineries seeking market opportunities," as Mr. Kronenberg accuses the Kentucky legislature of doing. Yet, I take exception to his comment that we are "one national economic market." As recent court rulings in Virginia and Michigan have shown, the local implementation of the three-tier system was reinforced, not invalidated by the Granholm decision, as long as the implementation is not discriminatory or preferential. States still have the right to regulate alcohol in a meaningful way that suits the "needs and desires" of their residents, as the language of the Colorado Liquor Code requires.
If a state chooses to impose size limits on certain privileges for liquor distribution or market access, that state may well be doing so because it has determined that small wineries have more difficulty getting their products through the three-tier system than large wineries with sales teams and marketing budgets. That state could be saying that it values small businesses that stimulate agriculture, and it should not have to defend that position against the legal whims of wineries that produce more wine in a year than the entire state. While the Family Winemakers of California represents the "smaller" wineries in that state, I doubt if many of Mr. Kronenberg's members produce less than the entire state of Kentucky or Colorado or both states combined.
We should remember that prior to Prohibition and the 21st Amendment, the beverage alcohol industry was made up of small, local breweries and wineries in almost every community. The advent of the mega-breweries and corporate wineries was something that happened as a result of Prohibition. The 21st Amendment was designed to protect states against the liquor monopolies spawned in the void created by Prohibition. The framers of that amendment wanted to return to the alcohol industry model of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. It is easy to accuse the wholesale industry of being monopolistic because a handful of companies dominate the market in every state. But the same can be said of the large wineries in California.
The grape growing industry did not disappear in California and New York as a result of Prohibition the way it did in most other states, such as Colorado. Our vineyards were replanted to peach trees. Consequently, California wineries, and certain breweries in St. Louis and Golden, were able to capitalized on the demise of the local wine industries and recover more quickly than those in the rest of the county. The wine industries in states other than New York, California and Washington are just now coming back from Prohibition.
So at this point in history when California's wine industry, which has been growing nicely for 40-50 years, complains that states are discriminating in favor of small wineries, it is in truth asking the courts for special protections. In effect, the 40-50 year advantage that California has over wine industries in the rest of the country, during which time small wineries enjoyed special protections and privileges from the California government, makes them the monopoly now. Under the guise of "equal protection" as spelled out in the Granholm decision, their legal actions have the impact of squelching the advantages that state governments want to give small agribusinesses like wineries.
The economic reality is that large wineries can afford to navigate the spiffs and expenditures of the three-tier system. Just because few states have wineries that produce more than 20,000 gallons annually, or whatever number a state uses to define a small winery, imposing size limits on direct shipment or self-distribution is not an attempt to inhibit trade. It is an acknowledgement we are not starting with a level playing field.
To my friends (and I hope we remain friends, as this is a friendly debate) Paul, at the Family Winemakers, and Steve, at the Wine Institute, I call on you to recognize the historic disparity between where your industry is and where the industries are in Colorado, Kentucky, Missouri and other states. You have a big economic head start on the rest of us. Our attempts to limit how the "big boys" play in our states are not attempts to keep you out. They are the implementation of each state's right to define the rules for the three-tier system within our state, to identify who is small enough to need help and who doesn't. This is the American Way.
First, anyone accusing you of being a traitor to the wine industry simply doesn't know you or doesn't care for honesty.
That said, I want to comment on your elequent plea for respecting the postion Colorado and other smaller state wine industries find themselves in vis a vis the current debate over direct shipping regulations.
First, with regard to the Granholm ruling, it strikes me that the ruling did not so much "reinforce" the validity of the 3-tier system as much as it simply concurred that it was a legitimate way for a state to structure the distribution of alcohol. By this I mean, it did not endorse the excusionary charachter of system, but rather acknowledged its legitimacy. This is important.
The idea that the state is preventing direct shipping by those that produce over a certain amount because it "values small businesses that stimulate agriculture" belies the facts and machinations in the direct shipping debate. Were direct shipping to consumers open to all wineries, large and small, there is no reason to believe that a small Colorado winery would be hurt by CA wineries of any size trying to attracte consumers to wine clubs or occassional Internet sales. In fact, being closer to the Colorado consumer than a CA or WA winery, the Colorado winery should have an advantage in reaching that consumers.
The bottom line is that production limits are approved by Wholesalers becauase it keeps the vast majority of direct sales from occuring while allowing in-state wineries that they rarely deal with to go about their business without criticizing wholesalers. As a bonus for wholesalers, it puts wineries in-state into conflict with out-of-state wineries that are prevented from entering the market via direct sales.
As for monopolistic tendencies, it is indeed easy to accuse wholesalers of being monopolies. But the idea that "the same can be said of the large wineries in California" just doesn't wash for one simple reason: The Wholesalers benefit from STATE SPONSORED monopoly status. By dictating the use of the three tier system the States guarantee that a smaller and smaller group of wholesalers take a piece of every sale in the state. Yet, there are no provisions that they represent any winery that wants to sell in that state. If in addition there are production requirements on those that can sell direct in a state that has granted a monopoly to wine wholesalers many wineries will be prevented entirely from doing business in that state.
The State of California does not impose any regulations that result in CA wineries selling the vast amount of domestic wine in the United States. This difference in who imposes a monopoly is important.
If the concern is for fairness and a desire to see Colorado wineries expand and prosper there is a simple way to accomlish this: Allow wineries to self distribute in the state as well as sell direct to consumers. No one represents a brand better than the owner. But as long as the state imposes the 3-tier system, this can never happen because under Granholm if CO wineries can self distribute then out of state wineries must be able to also. Wholesalers would just as soon see small state wine industries disappear altogether than allow this sort of situation.
And this brings us to the idea that "Under the guise of "equal protection" as spelled out in the Granholm decision, their (those bringing suits) legal actions have the impact of squelching the advantages that state governments want to give small agribusinesses like wineries."
If government and legislators were truly interested in giving small agribusiniess a hand up, they would ignore the demands and campaign donations of wholesalers and allow unrestricted direct sales and unrestricttd self-distribution in their states. It's clear the legislators too would rather throw CO wineries and other small state wine industries under the bus before upsetting the antiquated but very profitable apple cart known as the state sponsored wholesaler monopoly, AKA "Three Tier System".
In the end, the restrictions that states put on who can ship to consumers don't merely inhibit the "Big Boys". They inhibit the very small boys too, the very boys that most distributors don't want anything do do with. But the big problem is that as long as the three tier system is imposed by the state, small industries like that of Colorado will be hampered.
As a citizen of Massachusetts and someone who has seen this on the ground, I would like to make a few comments about the practical side of this which is somewhat contrary to the generally published reasons and legal theories.
It is possible to ship any amount of wine into Massachusetts. There are those who do it on a regular basis. The only problem is you have to find someone who has a license to import into the state. There are only a few people who have these licenses. If you apply for a license, you won't get one. To ship through a person who has a license is very expensive. The obvious conclusion from the data is that a few people are making a very profitable business of importing wine into MA without adding any value. MA one of those states that has a largely one party legislature. The members of that legislature, once they are established, usually have a job for life. Intentionally or unintentionally the legislature is protecting these importers. I wonder why?
When the 30,000 gallon production capacity cap was passed, the legislature announced that once again they had protected the small wine makers in MA. Odd that the industry group that represents the small wine makers in MA issued a statement at the same time saying that they had no problem with free trade. If MA is not protecting the wine makers then who are they protecting, and why?
I am using the name John Doe for this post – I have to live in this state.
Each day the idea of free trade becomes more an afterthought throughout this country. We do not live in a free market, on the contrary we have over regulation and a protected few who profit only on the losses of others.

Lady Buffs stay perfect in AAC play1:40 am | January 4, 2013
LAURENBURG, N.C. — The Milligan College women's basketball team remained perfect in Appalachian Athletic Conference play as they defeated conference newcomer St. Andrews University 84-57 on Thursday night in Laurinburg, N.C.
Dorian Freeman quickly scored five points to help Milligan pull out to a 7-2 lead in the opening minutes, and the Buffaloes maintained a 14-6 lead five minutes into the game.
Allison Jones drained a 3-pointer to give Buffaloes a 22-12 lead midway through the opening half.
The Lady Knights slowly cut into the Milligan lead as they pulled within six points with 3:30 left in the half. However, baskets from Johneshia Good and Kayla Kelly sparked a 15-4 run to end the first half and give the Buffaloes a 41-24 lead at the half.
Milligan saw Tracy Hardiman and Kelly each hit a pair of free throws in the opening minutes, and a Kelly jumper gave the Buffaloes a 49-32 lead five minutes into the period.
The Buffaloes extended their lead to 21 points midway through the second half as Hardiman scored off a Freeman assist. From there, it was all Milligan as they kept the Lady Knights at bay.
Kelly led the way with a game high 17 points, while Jaimee Hill ended the game with 13 points. Jones and Hardiman had 12 points apiece, while Good finished the night with 10 points.
As a team, Milligan was 31-of-61 (50%) from the floor and 8-of-16 (50%) from the 3-point line. St. Andrews finished the game 21-of-58 (36%) from the field and 4-of-14 (29%) from behind the arc.
With the win, the Buffaloes improve to 3-0 in AAC action and 10-5 overall, while St. Andrews drops to 3-9 overall and 1-2 in conference play.
Milligan pulled away late in the first half and never looked back.
The teams traded baskets to open the game as Milligan scored on a 3-pointer from Mickey Woods and a jumper from Torian Sitton, but they trailed 6-5 four minutes into the game. Tyler DeVault scored on a tip-in and Woods connected on his second 3-pointer of the game to put the Buffaloes in front, and Milligan maintained a 22-17 lead midway through the first half.
After the Knights pulled within one point, Milligan went on an 8-0 run sparked by a Cory Hendren 3-pointer to take the game's first double-digit lead, but St. Andrews quickly closed the gap back to six points. However, the Buffaloes ended the half on a 11-3 run to take a 44-32 lead at the half.
In the second half, Cartree Pettis kicked off the scoring with a basket, and DeVault and Sitton added points to help Milligan start the half on a 6-2 run to increase their lead to 18 points four minutes into the period. Scott Blake drained a 3-pointer and jumpers from DeVault and Pettis gave Milligan a 67-41 lead midway through the half.
The Milligan defense held the Knights to just nine points over the next seven minutes to preserve the lead and take the victory.
Woods recorded a game-high 18 points and six assists. DeVault finished the game with 17 points, while Sitton tallied 14 points. Blake ended the game with 10 points.
As a team, the Buffaloes finished the game 33-of-58 (57%) from the floor and 7-of-15 (47%) from the 3-point line. St. Andrews ended the game 22-of-56 (39%) from the field and 6-of-19 (32%) from behind the arc.
With the win, Milligan improves to 2-1 in conference action and 9-6 overall, while St. Andrews falls to 0-3 in AAC action and 0-11 overall.

Novo Nordisk has suspended development of ragaglitazar - a drug that has potential for regulating both blood-glucose and lipid levels-after finding urine bladder tumors in one mouse and several rats tested with the drug during preclinical trials.
Current clinical trials have been halted, and planned new clinical trials have been suspended, according to a news release from the company.
"The tumors observed may prove to be specific for the rodent species and in that case, they will be of no relevance to humans," says Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen, chief science officer of Novo Nordisk. "However, we have for patient safety reasons decided to take a precautionary approach and stop the ongoing clinical trials while we investigate the preclinical findings in more detail."
Thomsen says it is too early to tell whether new clinical trials will be initiated. If they are, Thomsen expects a delay of about two years.
