BOYS – WEEK 10 RANKINGS – February 10
1. Bishop Carroll (19-0): Previous Ranking - 1
Last Week: W vs Penn Cambria 82-41, W vs. Central Cambria 72-32
This Week: at Bishop Guilfoyle 2/10, at Hollidaysburg
Bishop Carroll is two wins away this week from a perfect regular season, and a dominant one at that. No boys team from the WJAC-TV has finished the regular season unbeaten since Westmont went 23-0 in 2007. The Huskies have slaughtered their opponents -- Laurel Highlands and beyond -- by an average of 37 points per game. A win Monday over Bishop Guilfoyle earns the Huskies a spot in Saturday's Laurel Highlands championship game against Bishop McCort.
2. Elk County Catholic (19-2): Previous Ranking – 2
Last Week: W vs Brookville 60-46, W at DuBois 61-34, W vs. Ridgway 48-46
This Week: vs. DuBois Central Catholic 2/14 (AML Semifinals)
Speaking of perfect seasons, Elk County Catholic wrapped up an unbeaten regular season, outside of playing Johnsonburg. The Crusaders earned the Allegheny Mountain League North title by virtue of only one of their losses to Johnsonburg occurring in conference play. They will play DuBois Central Catholic in the AML semifinals Friday, a team they beat by 14 in December. Should ECC win, an AML title game would feature Johnsonburg (four the 4th time) or Ridgway (which they beat by 2 last week).
3. Johnsonburg (18-3): Previous Ranking – 3
Last Week: W vs Brockway 76-52
This Week: vs. DuBois 2/10, at Ridgway 2/14 (AML Semifinals)
Johnsonburg has its sights set on a second straight Allegheny Mountain League title but will have to win in Ridgway to start. The Rams are the AML North's 2-seed by virtue of losing to Elk County Catholic in January. Cam Grumley (21.8 ppg) and Cole Peterson (21.0 ppg), a.k.a The Splash Brothers, can finish the regular season amongst the state's top 30 scorers.
4. Bishop Guilfoyle (14-2): Previous Ranking – 5
Last Week: w at Forest Hills 82-38, W at Central Cambria 51-48
This Week: vs Cambria Heights 2/3, vs Penn Cambria 2/6, at Bishop McCort 2/8
The Marauders nearly suffered what would have been a devastating sectional loss to Central Cambria on Wednesday but remained just a game back of Bishop Carroll. Their rematch next Monday looms large, but could run into a cross-sectional buzzsaw in the form of Bishop McCort on Saturday. The Crushers have won 7 of 8 games.
5. Tyrone (15-3): Previous Ranking - 6
Last Week: W at Huntingdon, 66-39, W vs Central, 67-50
This Week: vs Clearfield 2/5, at Bald Eagle 2/7, vs Central Mountain 2/8
Led by Brandon Gripp and his 24.4 points per game (he scored 39 in the win over Huntingdon), Tyrone has worked a two-way-tie for first place alongside Penns Valley in the Mountain League with Bald Eagle and Central lurking. The Golden Eagles have won seven straight and face another defining game at Bald Eagle on Friday.
6. Blairsville (14-1): Previous Ranking – Honorable Mention
Last Week: W at Northern Cambria 75-49, vs Purchase Line 70-54, at Homer-Center 65-51
This Week: at Purchase Line 2/4, vs. Homer-Center 2/5, vs. Westmont 2/7
In their most anticipated game of the season, the Bobcats proved to be the class of the Heritage Conference (for at least this week). Blairsville defeating Homer-Center in the Homer Dome sets the stage for a quick return trip this week, as the Bobcats host the Wildcats on Wednesday for the Heritage crown. If Blairsville wins, they'll likely win outright. If it's Homer, hello split-city!
Next 6 Out: Bishop McCort (12-4), Cameron County (17-1), DuBois Central Catholic (13-4), Homer Center (17-2), Northern Bedford (16-2), Penns Valley (14-2)
Ins & Outs: Locally, only four conferences host championships: Laurel Highlands, WestPAC, Inter-County, and Allegheny Mountain. Of those four, only the four AML participants have clinched spots and even then, Elk County Catholic & Johnsonburg (north) and Ridgway & DuBois Central Catholic (south) are working out seeing.
- WestPAC: Shanksville can clinch the South crown over Berlin by defeating Meyersdale Tuesday while Conemaugh Township controls its own destiny in the North, and a win at Portage on Tuesday gives them a stranglehold.
- Laurel Highlands: Barring upsets, Section 1 will be decided Monday, February 10 when Bishop Carroll travels to Bishop Guilfoyle. Section 2 is controlled by Bishop McCort with three section games remaining thanks to Nemo Trexler's 36 points in the Crushers OT win over Richland.
- Inter-County Conference: Juniata Valley (16-3, 10-1 North) can lock up their division with a win over Mt. Union on Monday. In the South, Southern Fulton (16-2, 11-1) sits in 1st place, but Northern Bedford (16-2, 11-2) owns the tiebreaker and another game over the Indians.
GIRLS – WEEK 9 RANKINGS – February 3
1. Hollidaysburg (14-1): Previous Ranking – 1
Last Week: W vs Mifflin County, 72-45, W at Altoona, 56-52
This Week: W vs Derry 2/5, vs Central Mountain 2/6, vs Ambridge 2/8
When Hollidaysburg and Altoona play, records tend to not matter. So it's no surprise the Lady Tigers, they of just one loss, survived their dual-seasonal showdown with Altoona and won by only four. Nonetheless, Hollidaysburg continues to sit pretty, finding ways to win in tight spots. Only remaining question mark is how they stack up against State College? We'll find out in two weeks.
2. Blairsville (16-1): Previous Ranking – 2
Last Week: W vs Derry, 75-43, W at Purchase Line, 64-30
This Week: vs Northern Cambria 2/3, vs Homer-Center 2/4
Most impressive for Blairsville is their three-headed point production monster of Chelsea Koren (20.6 ppg), Laurel O'Barton (17.8 ppg), and Nicole Boyer (10.9 ppg). Even scarier? They are all juniors.
3. Bellwood-Antis (13-2): Previous Ranking – 3
Last Week: W vs. Williamsburg 83-35
This Week: at Juniata Valley 2/3, at West Branch 2/4, vs Northern Bedford 2/6, vs Moshannon Valley 2/7
It's a good news/bad news week for the Lady Blue Devils. The bad news is, thanks to weather delays, they play four times this week including three on the road. The good news is all except Juniata Valley are sub-.500 ball clubs. Bellwood will clinch the ICC North this week.
4. Portage (17-1): Previous Ranking – 6
Last Week: W vs. Shade, 60-44
This Week: at Windber 2/3, vs Conemaugh Twp. 2/5, at Salisbury-Elk Lick 2/7
Portage has won 16 straight games, all but one of which was by double-digits. The Lady Mustangs have already clinched the WestPAC North title led by Olivia McCabe (15.3 ppg, 10.1 rbg). At least one, potentially two games with Berlin loom large; February 12 in Portage and, if the Lady Mountaineers take care of business, February 15 at UPJ for the conference championship.
5. Port Allegany (16-0): Previous Ranking – Honorable Mention
Last Week: W at Otto Eldred, 49-37
This Week: vs Coudersport 2/3, at Nortern Potter 2/5, vs Oswayo Valley 2/7
Port Allegany enters the poll amidst much fanfare across the state (ranked as high as No. 2 in some publications), but all but two have come against sub.-500 teams. On the other hand, 13 of those wins have been by more than 20 points and they returned a large amount of players from a state playoff-game winning team in 2013. Skeptical, but our attention is grabbed.
6. Bishop Guilfoyle (11-3): Previous Ranking - 4
Last Week: L vs Forest Hills, 50-48
This Week: at Cambria Heights 2/5, at Penn Cambria 2/7, at Johnstown 2/8
Young teams tend to go through growing pains and the Lady Marauders and their freshman-filled lineup is suddenly in a dogfight to clinch their Laurel Highlands section. Bishop Guilfoyle's loss to Forest Hills means both teams have one sectional loss with three games remaining.
Next 6 Out: Altoona (8-8), Bishop McCort (12-4), Berlin (13-1), State College (11-7), Tussey Mountain (18-1), Westmont (14-3)
Ins & Outs: Conference championship games are starting to take shape, although each division with the exception of the WestPAC North still has a game left to help decide section champs.
- WestPAC South: Berlin can clinch the division title with a win over Shade at home Wednesday. WestPAC North: Portage clinched division title.
- Laurel Highlands Section 1: Thanks to Forest Hills' win over Bishop Guilfoyle last week, both the Lady rangers and Lady Marauders have one loss. If each team wins out, B-G will own the tiebreaker by virtue of its win over Section 2 first place Westmont.
- Laurel Highlands Section 2: Westmont is unbeaten in sectional play, and can earn a spot in the LHAC Championship with a win Friday over Bishop McCort.
- ICC North: Bellwood-Antis can clinch with a win Monday over Juniata Valley
- ICC South: Tussey Mountain and Southern Fulton each have one sectional loss...to each other. The ICC tiebreaker goes to point differential. Southern Fulton beat Tussey by 14, Tussey then beat Southern Fulton by 13. Te
- Allegheny Mountain League: Kane and Elk County Catholic have clinched spots in the semifinals out of the AML North, while DuBois Central Catholic and Brockway

Galka Signs NLI to Join Valpo Bowling Team for 2010-2011 Season
Monday, November 23, 2009
Valparaiso bowling head coach Stephen Anthony announced today that Kaity Galka has signed a National Letter of Intent and will join the Crusader program as a freshman for the 2010-2011 campaign.
"I am very excited that Kaity has chosen Valpo and will become a member of our program next year," said Anthony. "She is a person of character and dedicated to the sport and I know that she will fit in well with our program. It is especially exciting to have a player from northwest Indiana join us; this is a strong area for bowling and I extremely excited that we are able to attract one of the top players in the area to stay close to home to help us build our program."
Galka, a native of Dyer, Ind., has bowled for Lake Central H.S. during her prep career, helping the Indians to a pair of state championships over that time period. Galka, who has averaged a 219 over her high school career and a 231 in league play, has finished with the second highest average in the state among high school bowlers each of the last two years. She is a two-time winner of the Post-Tribune Tournament, as well as twice winning the NWI Pro Shop Challenge.
"Kaity's experience in high school and youth tournaments will certainly prepare her to contribute to the program next year," said Anthony. "With the core of our team returning, the addition of Kaity to our roster in 2010 only makes the program's future look even better as we strive to compete and be among the best in the country."

I don't know what everyone else is complaining about, I thought this was a great kit. Instructions were easy to follow, parts and wood was milled okay. Everything lined up. It wasn't rocket science to put it all together. I did change a few things, like the fretboard, added cream binding and a better set of tuners. All in all, the uke is an awesome kit. Worth the money.
This is a finely executed kit including mostly-excellent materials cut and shaped to fine tolerances. Though a few items seemed oddly cheesy to me, it's easy and inexpensive to upgrade components. Parts such as braces can be readily worked to lighter, finer forms if you want (I did) and have the experience and judgment not to compromise the integrity of the uke. I've made guitars from scratch and so know what I'm doing, and found this uke kit to be a sure, easy build, resulting is a really excellent instrument.
This is my third build. Gradually acquiring more tools to make each one a little easier. I laminated the neck this time with Huon pine (As are the bindings and neck trims). I also built my own bridge to add a bit of style. How much fun can you have with these inexpensive kits? Each one you build you increase your skill level. Great work Stewmac. The quality of these finished ukes deserve a decent set of strings though.
As many have stated here, it's a great kit. I agree. I also agree that you should take it slow. And do buy the video, it's money well spent. I built my kit in about 4 months, but it was my first time and I had never built an instrument before. Now I'm building from scratch and the things I learned during the building of the kit are serving me well.
I had a lot of fun, but highly recommend getting the video. The tension tuners were awful, and the strings not so good. Replaced these with geared tuners and real strings and it really improved the sound and playability. Had to lower the strings quite a bit. Great way to learn how to build a uke.
todo perfecto llego a tiempo en perfecto estado, como lo acordado. un placer a ver comprado acá
Just finished my first music instrument which is the soprano kit with a bit of added bling and I'm thrilled with it. I used the kit for the complicated bits (that scare a first time builder like me ) such as the fret board and sides but customised it with a spruce sound board, paua purfling, mineritchi (Aussie Acacia) headstock overlay and bone nut and bridge. It is finished with truoil which was great to use. Very happy with how it turned out and am itching to get started on a scratch build but can't make up my mind if to make the sides and back out of wenge or mulga. A friend made the basic kit and the spruce adds a little bit of resonance and volume especially with Martin fluorocarbon strings. The DVD is worth the money. Go on, make one, you will love it.
I ordered and the kit arrived much faster than I thought it would. I started building the fixture (tool) to alighn the sides. I could not put it down. This was the most fun project to build. It has just the right amount of challenge to build a great Uke. I have since ordered parts to do a repair on an old Mandolin that got stored in an attic in Texas for many years. I love the fact that you can get the parts you want and they get them to you fast.
I make a suggestion (from one of my errors) check square of the blade on table saw before making the fixture. It needs to be real square, not 3 degrees off. (my oops)
Good kit. The DVD did not show finishing steps and also used a different method than one described in instructions.
Gday. Some little time ago I was having a ploinkle with my uke and decided I wanted something in mahogany or koa. One thing led to another and a mate of mine, John Copley, suggested I make one from a StewMac kit. He figured if I could make a longbow for hunting I could make a uke. He got me onto StewMac and I was really impressed with the value for money proposition and the quick turnaround - bearing in mind I am downunder. When the kit arrived I was really excited and I went round to John's place (he is a luthier with a full workshop that is full of StewMac stuff). In no time at all we had the sides in the jig and the neck and tail blocks gluing and the bracing on the top and the back. We also did the fingerboard and fretting. This was quickly followed by the kerfing (I used mandolin kerf not the stuff from the kit as I get around a lot to Festivals, including overseas and the mando kerfing from StewMac assures a stronger bond for travelling), then all the rest of the process. The instructions in the book were clear and easy to follow although I did have the advantage of the assistance of a full time luthier - so we did at times depart from the script. If you don't have access to a luthier who has made ukes - do what any good cook does and follow the recipe to the letter. Working a couple of nights per week I now have a great sounding and beautiful looking uke. This is a testament to the high quality materials provided by StewMac. I am definitely going to do another - a tenor and then have a crack at a mandolin.

The 2013 Canine Frisbee event was a success, even though only 15 dogs were registered to compete. Considering the event had to be cancelled the previous two years because of rain, this year far exceeded our expectations weatherwise. Despite a few hiccups we encountered, all had a good time. We want to thank Alaska Dogs Gone Wild (flyball) and Hundesport Alaska (dog obedience) for coming out and giving demonstrations, Anchorage Animal Control - rabies and dog license checker/license seller, Eddie P for his fabulous announcing and the lady across the street who allowed us to hook up the water hose to her house so that we could provide drinking water and fill up the doggie pools for the dogs. See who the top dogs were (see Frisbee results at bottom of page) and we hope to see them, and some new faces, back in 2014.
Awesome Aussies, leaping Labs, bounding Border Collies and magnificent mixed breeds will take to the skies over Anchorage when the Municipality of Anchorage, Parks & Recreation Department hosts the Canine Frisbee Championships Sunday, TBD, 2014. Families and sports enthusiasts are invited to come out and enjoy an exciting afternoon on the Parkstrip and cheer on the most entertaining four-legged athletes in the area. Competition will be ruff and there will be a lot of fur flying. Unlike professional athletes, many of the four-legged competitors will be eager to provide pawdagraphs and kisses to their fans. The event takes place at 1pm at the Delaney Parkstrip Soccer Field (10th & L Street) east of the Rose Garden. On-site registration begans at 11 am and continues until the start of the event (or until registration forms are gone), and competition begins at 1pm. Previous experience is not required and is limited to the first 50 registrants with a limit of 2 dogs per household. If there are less then 50 entrants, then additional dogs from the same household may compete. Canine Frisbee is a boneafied sports event which welcomes novice and veteran competitors alike. Cost to enter your frisbee loving dog is $5, and as usual, is free to spectators. "Disc"over your dog's talent and see what your canine companion is capable of in the 2014 competition.
Competition consists of two 60-second mini-distance rounds and the dogs with the highest scores advance to the second round. Owners supply their own frisbees for the championships Points are awarded on the number of catches each dog does in 60-seconds. Higher points are scored for distance and mid-air catches.
Now, the rules for registration:
Frisbees are provided (we have a limited supply) or bring your own. Lots of prizes.

A large group of bikers rode into Williamsburg, IA today... decked out in beards, bandanas, black leather, and... tutus? Gathered for a ride on Saturday, this group of guys were decked out in pink tutus and pink bandanas to show their support for breast cancer awareness. They just stopped in for lunch, but I'm sure they had as huge an impact on everywhere else they went as they did on Williamsburg today.

State park hikers have their own conquest that ends with an exclusive "I did it!" t-shirt. Georgia's Canyon Climbers Club is reserved for those few who have scaled to the top of Amicalola Falls, explored the depths of Providence Canyon, braved the swinging bridge in Tallulah Gorge and faced the daunting staircase in Cloudland Canyon.
Created by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' State Parks Division, the Canyon Climbers Club is a way to encourage Georgians to "Get Out. Get Dirty. Get Fit." The new slogan recognizes that parks not only protect natural environments, they also provide beautiful settings for exercise and recreation. Few would argue that climbing a 1,000-foot canyon is more adventurous and challenging than spending 30 minutes on a Stairmaster. The club also encourages families to exercise together in a way that is exciting for children.
To join the Canyon Climbers Club, hikers should stop by one of the four participating state park offices and purchase a $10 membership card. Membership cards are also available by calling 770-389-7401 or you may send an email with your name, address and daytime phone number to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
A healthy dose of enthusiasm and sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Once they have visited all four parks and had their card punched by rangers, hikers can redeem it for a t-shirt and bragging rights. No time limit applies, so hikers can take as long as they wish to visit all four parks.

In the Bible, God says that He will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. He goes on to say that He will never ever in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down! (Heb 13:5-6). David also speaks about this in Psalm 139 when He says that no matter where you go, God is there to guide you and support you. David goes on to say that God's thoughts for you are more in number than the grains of sand. How great it is to know that we serve a great God who loves us more than we can fathom and is always there, even when everyone else is not.

Hitting the UX Conference Circuit
Readers looking to further their community involvement needn't look far. Content strategist Marli Mesibov's list of ten design conferences provides a great jumping off point to hit the UX conference circuit.
Readers looking to further their community involvement needn't look far. Content strategist Marli Mesibov's list of ten design conferences provides a great jumping off point to hit the UX conference circuit.
The best resources help change and inform our team's perspective. This week, editor Marli Mesibov compiles a list of nine resources to aid our design research, content strategy, gamification endeavors.
There are a bunch of great books due out this year, covering myriad topics from the psychology of persuasion, to experience strategy, to lean UX, to microinteractions. Paul Seys provides a brief overview of the 10 books about which he's most excited.
Did you attend this year's IA Summit? If not, don't fret! Andrew Maier reflects on this year's event, sharing five books he's recently added to his reading list. For those of you who did attend, consider adding books to the list!
While we're busy stuffing ourselves with tasty treats and the company of family and friends, we wanted to take a minute to say farewell to 2012. Associate Editor Kristina Bjoran shares the top five posts throughout the year.
Every website has it, but not every website does it well. Andy Montgomery introduces two concepts – and provides dozens of examples – towards effective navigation design.
What do Netflix, teledildonics, and tables have in common? Well, they're all featured in this first installment of the UX Booth Resource Roundup reboot. We pull from a variety of sources, too, so there's surely something for everyone.
Need some perspective? In this post, Andrew provides readers with eight UX diagrams—illustrations that help practitioners communicate what makes user experience design tick.
Through @uxbooks, my twitter feed for all things UX book related, I regularly get asked to recommend books to people, and more often than not its to suggest entry level publications.
Our field is such an exciting one to be part of. We see continuous growth and brilliant people are always generating top notch material for the community to consume, respond to, and grow from. Here are some highlights from the UX community.
Contribute a guest post to UX Booth and let the community know what's important to you!

A new poster for Jeff Nichols' latest puts the actor front and center and packing some heat, lending some danger to the one sheet. Co-starring Tye Sheridan and Reese Witherspoon, the fairy tale-like story centers on Mud, on the run and living in the woods, who enlists the help of two young boys to help him reunited with his sweetheart Juniper. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last spring, hit Sundance last month and arrives at the SXSW in March.
But if you can't make those festivals, don't worry, as the movie opens in theaters on April 26th. Poster below. [EW]

More on Yahoo! Shine: From Baby, With Love: 7 Adorable Birth Announcements for Valentine's Day
The photo, which racked up almost 4,000 comments as of Tuesday afternoon, depicts the mother, Brittany Frisbie, who is around five months pregnant, pretending to cry at the idea of having another boy, while surrounded by her four sons posing in superhero costumes and husband Isaac Frisbie, who is carrying a lightsaber and a toy sword.
More on Yahoo!: Can Acupuncture Help Women Get Pregnant?
"Both my wife and I come from male-dominated families and we have four sons, so we were hoping for a girl this time," Isaac Frisbie, 33, a scientist in the Salt Lake City area, told Yahoo! Shine. "On the morning we took the photo, we found out that we were having boy. We were holding hands waiting for the results and when we saw the sonogram, we just looked at each other and smiled—of course it was a boy! However, we care more that our baby is healthy than what gender it is."
Although Isaac had never created a gender announcement before, a similar post he saw online inspired him. So he rounded up his kids Eli, 9, Emerson and Oliver, 5-year-old twins, and Kallan, 3 and had them wear superhero costumes. "With a house full of boys, you can imagine how many we've acquired throughout the year," said Isaac. "We threw tissues on the floor to make it seem like Brittany was crying, and the boys jumped around. It took a few tries because Kallan was more interested in playing with his train set, but we nailed the photo."
The couple also had a backup plan, should the sonogram reveal the baby was a girl. "I was going to be the one pretending to cry while my wife danced around wearing a tutu and a crown and waving a wand," says Isaac.
Lately, couples have concocted creative ways to reveal their unborn baby's gender. In March, ABC News reported on the rise of paint-fight gender reveal parties where expectant parents ask a third party to find out the baby's gender before them—for example, by having a doctor enclose written results in a sealed envelope. The parents then fill two buckets—one with pink paint, the other with blue paint—and they close their eyes. The third party hands the parents the bucket containing the color that represents the gender. Keeping their eyes closed, the parents throw paint from that bucket at each other, then open their eyes to learn the gender.
In May, a Knoxville, Tennessee news station reported that couple Kelly and Joey Burnett threw a "Baseballs or Bows — Be the first to know" theme party and had their friends guess their baby's gender. And in 2012 the New York Times reported on Carl and Carolina Marrelli, a Miami couple that threw a gender reveal party and live-streamed the results to their friends across the country.

With three small kidlets, I have a vested interest in Mother's Day. And in the MyrtleAndEunice house we are big on making vouchers for (usually) home-made treats and dreamt-up fun. At Christmas, there is always a book of ten vouchers for our kids. While 'Ice Cream from an Ice Cream Van' holds an obvious attraction, the 'Really Long Story Reading' is treasured one-on-one time. This is where my vested interest comes in. My very favourite gifts are those that come from the heart. They usually require a bit of thought, a splash of soul, a little time - but not necessarily money. And this Mom could never say no to a 'Home Cooked Roast Dinner (includes Dessert)', a 'Coffee, Cake and a Chat' or a 'Cupboard Tidying'.
Following is my guide to creating vouchers for your own Mom and then a swish fabric wrap in which to present them. Don't forget to stamp the vouchers as they are redeemed (we do it with much flair and theatrics here).
