Axe Bat Named Official Bat of Salve Regina Baseball March 3, 2015
Seahawks of Newport, R.I., become the latest college program to choose the Axe™ Bat exclusively
RENTON, Wash. (March 3, 2015) – Baden Sports, Inc., today announced its Axe™ Bat has been chosen as the official bat of the Salve Regina University baseball program. The Seahawks of Newport, R.I., are members of the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) and compete at the NCAA Division III level. They join several other Division III programs, including nationally ranked Marietta College of Ohio and California Lutheran University, in swinging the Axe™ Bat this season.
The Axe™ Bat is Baden's newest equipment innovation and represents a radical new approach to bat design. Its axe-shaped handle features an oval-shaped bottom, an angled knob and a flush backside that fits ergonomically in a batter's hand. The patented design has been scientifically proven to provide better grip stability, improved power transfer, and more barrel acceleration compared to bats with traditional round knobs and handles.1
"The Axe Bat represents the future of bat design and is the first bat built from the ground up for the hitter," said Michael Schindler, CEO, Baden Sports. "We're excited to have Salve Regina swinging the Axe Bat this season and are looking forward to supporting the program's continued growth and success."
The Axe™ Bat is approved for play at all amateur and professional levels, from Tee-ball to Major League Baseball, and is also being swung by several NCAA Division I programs this season.
...Baden Named Official Ball of Bob Bertucci Volleyball Camps February 10, 2015
Bob Bertucci, one of college volleyball's winningest coaches, chooses Baden volleyballs to be used exclusively in multi-state camp program
RENTON, Wash. (Feb. 10, 2015) – Baden Sports, Inc., today announced it has been chosen to provide the official volleyball of the Bob Bertucci Volleyball Camps, one of the longest-running and most successful camp programs in the country.
The multi-year agreement, effective immediately, designates Baden's Perfection® volleyball as the official ball and ensures attendees at all Bertucci camps and clinics will experience the quality and performance advantages of Baden volleyballs through competition and instruction.
The camps were founded 35 years ago by Bob Bertucci, now the head coach at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., with the goal of making quality volleyball instruction affordable and convenient to players of all ages and abilities. Today, camps are offered in nine different states for individuals and teams, with day, overnight and adult weekend sessions available. Participants learn the training methods that made Bertucci one of the most knowledgeable, successful and esteemed coaches in the profession; he has amassed more than 700 wins in 36 seasons at Army, Tennessee, Rutgers-Newark, Temple and Lehigh. Bertucci also coached with the U.S. national program and has authored several books on the sport.
"We're honored and excited to be working with Coach Bertucci," said Michael Schindler, CEO, Baden Sports. "He's a proven winner whose training techniques have been adopted by coaches around the world. We share his passion for the game and are confident his camp staffers and participants will find our Perfection volleyballs perform to the same high standards Coach Bertucci sets for his players and his program."

Baden Sports Announces SCOR™ Volleyball for Improved Performance, Versatility December 16, 2014
New advanced microfiber game volleyball offers players more control, plays to individual preferences
RENTON, Wash. (Dec. 16, 2014) – Baden Sports, Inc., today announced an advanced microfiber game volleyball engineered to perform to players' individual preferences. Featuring groundbreaking design and breakthrough technology, the new SCOR™ volleyball allows players – through the relative force and spin of their strikes – to determine how straight or unpredictable the ball flies, delivering a playing experience unmatched by current industry standards.
"We design all of our products with the player in mind. But, with SCOR, it was very important to us that the player determined how the ball performed – not the other way around," said Michael Schindler, CEO, Baden Sports. "We're pleased with the result and confident that SCOR is a better microfiber ball than the ones being used at elite levels today. We think it has great potential and are excited for players and coaches to experience the difference."
Baden spent more than three years developing SCOR™, a process that included extensive wind tunnel analysis, computer modeling and beta testing with members of the U.S. Olympic Team, as well as with high school, college and club players in the U.S. and Canada. The ball expands Baden's volleyball line-up – already one of the broadest and deepest in the industry – and offers a compelling response to the growing influence of the international game in North America.
SCOR™ achieves its versatility through innovative design and construction. Notably, the ball has 12...

Washington High Schools Re-Classified for 2014-16 September 9, 2014
The start of the high-school sports season this month brings with it a major transition for many Washington high schools: re-classification. This process, led every two years by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA), seeks to ensure fairness and competitive balance in postseason competitions by moving schools up or down based on changing enrollments. Dozens of high schools across the state are on the move for the 2014-16 school years. Baden Sports, as the official ball provider of the WIAA, takes a closer look at where those schools are headed and wishes all of the state's prep athletes and coaches a healthy and successful fall season.

The wizard sat with his hands folded in his lap, gazing up at the crystalline skylight of his tower; he had been sitting like that for some hours, unblinking, until his apprentice, seated at a small table over near the window, grew a bit nervous.
"You're going to get a crick in your neck," she at last dared to remark; there was no response.
"Lord Rhaphimon? Are you all right?"
"I'm fine, Zothique," the wry voice of her master echoed softly in the topmost chamber of the sorcerer's tower; Rhaphimon blinked, frowned, and turned the unnerving gaze of his topaz eyes upon his young apprentice, who grinned and waved cheekily at him.
"Are you finished with your studies, impudent girl?"
"No! I'm bored," replied Zothique, a startlingly attractive lass of seventeen with gleaming skin like melted chocolate and silvery-blue hair worked into shoulder-length braids. "And so are you, if you would only admit it! Can't we cast a spell, or something? It's been AGES!"
Rhaphimon tugged at his elegant ebon goatee and tried to look severe--his glare had caused Kings and Emperors to wet themselves, but Zothique was completely unfazed: "Please? I said please," she cooed, skipping across the chamber and sitting pertly on his knees.
"I suppose I MUST," the wizard sighed, "if only to prevent you from trying something on your own again! You've learned your lesson from the last incident, I hope?"
Zothique bit her lip to keep from laughing; "Of course I have! It took me days to clean up the Conjuring Room!"
Rhaphimon gave her braids an affectionate tug, and shooed her off his lap.
"Very well! I must confess, I too am bored...we must stir the blood, lest we become dull-witted! I shall teach you the Ritual of Al'Gnoth-Fthagn, which has not been performed since The Lost Times!"
Zothique clapped her hands and floated up to the skylight, whooping joyously.
It took Rhaphimon and Zothique a night and a day to prepare for the Ritual of Al'Gnoth-Fthagn; the Conjuring Room had to be cleansed of all magical residue from previous experiments, and Zothique was put in charge of weaving the sacred garments which alone could be worn by those who performed the Ritual. Both the wizard and his acolyte had to fast, eating no more than a small loaf of oat bread and a boiled egg, washed down with water from the spring which babbled and splashed down the mountainside past the sorcerer's tower. Then the nine crimson candles had to be rubbed with rare spices prescribed by the Ancients, and chanted over according to the preliminary rites before being set at the points of the huge nine-pointed star inlaid in cunning mosaics of chalcedony and colored quartz on the polished marble floor of the Conjuring Room. Only after all this was done did Rhaphimon and his apprentice, after anointing each other with sacred oil distilled from the ambergris of the great Sea Beast, solemnly enter the Conjuring Room and light the candles before taking their place in the center of the star.
Wrapping the sacred silken headband around his lofty brow, Rhaphimon nodded to Zothique, who unrolled the precious scroll whereon the Ritual of Al'Gnoth-Fthagn had been inscribed nine centuries ago by the great and terrible Malygris himself; her hands trembling ever so slightly, the beautiful apprentice held up the scroll so that her master could read aloud from it. The sorcerer took a deep breath, said a silent prayer to whatever gods might be watching, and began:
"Meow?" cried the sorcerer's hungry cat, walking into the Conjuring Room.
"Oops!---I forgot to close the door!" Zothique winced, as the pampered feline rubbed against one of the nine crimson candles, knocking it over.
The resulting explosion took the conical roof of Rhaphimon's tower clean off; to this day, no one knows where it came down, although that same day the Sultan of far-off Khazidoor's pleasure barge, containing His Supremacy, the Vizier, and threescore notables of the Court, sank off the coast of Khazidoor when it was struck by some immense object that fell from the sky.
Rhaphimon opened his eyes to find himself up in the boughs of a titanic cypress tree which stood about three miles from his tower; in no mood to utter even the simplest levitating spell, he slowly climbed down to the ground and limped back to his half-ruined home, where he saw Zothique humbly sweeping debris out the door; the cat was on the patio, contentedly eating a dish of tuna.
The girl looked up and gave him a sheepish grin: "So! When do we try again?"

Navidea Biopharmaceuticals Announces Enrollment Of First Subject In Phase 2 Trial Of NAV4694 As An Aid In Diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease
Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NAVB), a biopharmaceutical company focused on precision diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, today announced that enrollment has commenced at two sites participating in its Phase 2, open-label, safety and efficacy PET imaging study of [ 18F]NAV4694 for detection of cerebral β-amyloid plaque in subjects diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study is designed to compare images from subjects with probable AD with similarly aged and young healthy volunteers (HV). Two trial sites are currently enrolling subjects: Molecular NeuroImaging, LLC in New Haven, CT, which dosed the first patient in the study; and the Alzheimer's Disease Center at Quincy Medical Center in Quincy, MA.
"We are pleased to participate in this clinical study of NAV4694 which has the potential to help advance diagnostic accuracy in people with Alzheimer's disease," said Danna Jennings, M.D., Clinical Research Director, Molecular NeuroImaging, LLC. "NAV4694 appears to exhibit the strengths of 11C PIB but given that the ligand is labeled with 18 F it offers flexibility and is more practical to use. The data at this point in the development suggest that NAV4694 shows favorable sensitivity, specificity and decreased white-matter uptake that may enable earlier Alzheimer's disease identification, better monitoring of disease progression, and easier scan interpretation."
"In addition to safety and efficacy endpoints, this clinical trial will allow us to evaluate NAV4694 to determine the correlation of the clinical diagnosis with the β-amyloid plaque uptake in PET images of subjects diagnosed with probable AD," commented Frederick Cope, Ph.D., F.A.C.N., C.N.S., Navidea's Senior Vice President, Pharmaceutical Research and Clinical Development. "Our ultimate goal is to provide an improved diagnostic tool with outstanding performance characteristics for physicians to aid in the diagnosis of AD, a disease expected to impact as many as 16 million Americans by 2050."
This is a phase 2, open-label, multiple-center, non-randomized single dose, PET imaging study to assess the safety and efficacy of [18F]NAV4694 in detecting β-amyloid plaque in the brain in subjects with probable Alzheimer's disease compared with similarly aged and young healthy volunteers. In addition to safety and efficacy objectives, this study also will measure the correlation between neuro-psychiatric test results with the amount of β-amyloid determined by the NAV4694 imaging.

UMass Minutemen (7-12)
@Xavier Musketeers (19-2)
Saturday, January 31
Cintas Center
Attendance: None
Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Derrick Brown scored 23 points on 8-of-10 shooting, as 10th-ranked Xavier held off Massachusetts, 82-80, to stay undefeated in conference play.
Brown also had eight rebounds and four blocks for the Musketeers (19-2, 7-0 A-10), who extended their winning streak to 10 games. B.J. Raymond scored 22 points and C.J. Anderson added 19 in the win.
Ricky Harris logged 17 points to pace the Minutemen (7-12, 2-4), who have dropped three in a row and four of five overall. Chris Lowe scored 16 points and dished out seven assists, while Luke Bonner contributed 14 points in the setback.
Xavier shot nearly 60 percent from the field, but had to hold on for the close win because of a season-high 23 turnovers that UMass turned into 36 points.
Trailing by seven at the break, UMass continued to chip away in the second half and grabbed a 65-64 lead after David Gibbs buried a three with about 8 1/2 minutes remaining.
The score remained tight down the stretch, and a Bonner tip-in made it 74-73 before Raymond nailed his fourth three-pointer of the game with 2:10 left to put Xavier in front for good.
With UMass down 82-79, Lowe went to the charity stripe with 3.6 seconds remaining. After sinking the first foul shot, Lowe's second attempt caught iron. Tony Gaffney then grabbed the offensive board but missed the putback and Xavier escaped with the win.
A Tyrell Lynch layup capped an early 13-5 run for UMass, and Bonner drained a long three-pointer to put the visitors up five at 22-17 near the eight-minute mark.
The clubs proceeded to trade buckets and the lead before Xavier used a 16-4 burst to go up 41-31 with just under three minutes remaining in the opening frame. Anthony Gurley knocked down a jumper at the horn to cut the deficit to 44-37.

The study was published by the Pew Research Center that reveals more millennials than ever are moving back home to live with the parent's. Additionally, more households than ever, over 18% of the population, are multi-generational, meaning more than two generations live in the same house.
The study found that 23.6% of people ages 25 to 34 in lived with their parents, grandparents, or both in 2012. That's up from 18.7% in 2007.
Surprisingly, it's mostly young men that are more likely to move back home. According to the study, 26% of men ages 25-34 were living in multi-generational households compared to only 21% of women in that age group.
Why are the numbers on a growing trend? Since the 2007 global financial crisis, it has generally become harder and harder to find jobs despite the fact that millennials are college educated now more than ever. With the lack of employment opportunities, that childhood home you can always fall back on is a great chance to reach financial stability given the circumstances.
So don't be afraid to move back home after college. It's the smartest thing to do if you don't have a job and plus, everyone's doing it.

This family-friendly backyard includes entertainment for adults and kids alike. A playground with a small slide provides entertainment for the little ones, while a two-level deck creates enough space for outdoor dinner parties for adults.
Mature trees provide shape, shade and height in garden spaces and make great places around which to grow different types of foliage and flowering plants.
This porch is sparkling with the holiday spirit. A chandelier made from mason jars, basic lumber and tree trimmings adds rustic ambience to the space. Accents of red in the white rocking chairs and topiary bring a pop of color to this cheerful outdoor dining area.
This quaint brick home has plenty of English charm. The arches over the doorway are reminiscent of Romanesque/Norman architecture and the two large bay windows are a big selling point for this house as seen on HGTV's House Hunters International.
This patio was designed to be both visually stimulating and calming. The clean lines of the gray tiles are softened with natural earth tones, color and vegetation, providing contrast and excitement.
This classic wood deck features brown wood plank flooring and a white railing. Just beyond the deck lies a panoramic view.
Before stepping down into the backyard, the homeowners first walk out onto a curved patio, which acts as an extension of the living room. Sofas mimic the shape of the patio and provide a cozy spot to gather under the pergola. To tie the patio up to the pergola, stacked stones create the lower half of the columns, and Sweetwater flagstone is used to veneer the patio. Design by The Green Scene
Designer Kristi Nelson furnished this patio with comfy armchairs under an inviting umbrella to create a hangout for all members of the family — including the dog.
Designer Matt Partridge of Juergen Partridge Limited installed multiple structures that provide shady, gathering spots on even the hottest days in this romantic backyard. To enhance the woodwork, he applied multiple stain colors to the cedar structure and decks. Designer Tip: When planning an outdoor space, think about your lifestyle and how you'll use it — whether as a recreational area for a young, active family or as a private, serene spot for relaxing and reading.
An overall harmonious look is achieved through the use of repeated materials in this yard.
The stone patio with its brick-veneered fire pit and multi-level seating makes for an inviting and entertaining outdoor space that's easy on the eyes. Cushioned outdoor chairs invite guests to linger around the fire pit while taking in the beautiful view of the traditional brick home and professional landscaping.
A long and wide porch in brick provides comfortable seating in front of this commercial building. The columned porch features cushioned bench seating in neutral tones.
Bold, colorful areas of ornamental grasses and seeding perennials create a surprisingly lush prairie design in this large backyard garden.
A comfortable hammock nestled between stunning blooms and lush vegetation makes afternoon naps in the sun extra sweet.
Hanging plants are supported by a framework held up by white columns in this outdoor space with a brick patio. Potted plants bring extra color to a brick patio below.
A stone and brick water feature with a tall, spurting jet creates a dramatic focal point in the outdoor space of this traditional home.
A large green urn full of white blooms is positioned in the middle of this stone and brick path.
A cozy garden features a wooded walkway leading to an outdoor sitting area, ornamental grasses and white barked trees.

New rules seek to simplify matters of staff transfers.
Byline: By Sally Lomas FletcherThe Government has published the new Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations.
These amendments seek to simplify this notoriously complex aspect of employment legislation which aims to protect employees when the company employing them is sold or the service on which the employees work is contracted in or out.
These changes now clarify when TUPE will apply to the contracting out of contracts, such as office cleaners, and the occasions on which employers can justify dismissing employees for reasons relating to the transfer.
The regulations are being widened to include cases where services are outsourced, contracts taken in-house or assigned by a client to a contractor. These "service provision changes", as they are called, apply only when there is an organised grouping of employees whose main job is to carry out the contracted-out activities on behalf of the client. They do not apply, however, if the client buys in the services on a one-off basis and/or for a short time.
Employers can only vary contracts of employment for a reason unrelated to the transfer; or if the principal reason is an economic, technical or organisational reason entailing changes to the workforce; or the transferor is insolvent, and either the transferor or transferee agrees the variations with a trade union or elected employee representatives.
There is a new duty on transferors to supply information about the transferring of employees to the transferee by providing what is called "employee liability information". This includes:
* Information about the identity and age of the employees;
* Information contained in their statement of terms and conditions of employment;
* Information relating to any collective agreements applying to those employees;
* Any disciplinary proceedings or grievances issued in the last two years where the statutory dispute resolution procedures apply;
* Any court or tribunal cases brought by the employees in the last two years.
The transferor and the transferee both have a duty to inform and consult representatives of employees who may be affected by the transfer. The employer must tell them when the transfer is going to happen and the implications of it.
There are special provisions being introduced making it easier for insolvent businesses to be transferred to new employers. For instance, transferees will no longer be liable for redundancy payments to employees of insolvent companies and the transferee has more scope to vary terms and conditions after the transfer.
Sally Lomas Fletcher is a solicitor at Samuel Phillips Law Firm in Newcastle.

About Alexandra Elene Maclean Denny
<Guardian, April 27, 1978> SANDY DENNY, who has died in a London hospital aged 31, was one of the most individual and compelling British songwriters and singers of the last 10 years.
She was in a coma for four days at Atkinson Morley Hospital, Wimbledon, after falling down stairs at a friend's flat. Sandy, who died of a brain haemorrhage, was planning to move to America with her musician husband Trevor Lucas and nine-month old baby Georgia.
She was one of the originators of "folk-rock", a ballad artist of considerable sensitivity and insight, and a singer who could switch easily between high amplified rock styles and gentle emotional and personal solopieces at the piano.
Sandy's career started in typical mid-60s fashion. A student at Kensington Art College, London, she performed around the folk club circuit, introducing her own songs alongside traditional material.
She joined a then-struggling band, The Strawbs, with whom she recorded an album. Then, almost exactly ten years ago, she auditioned for Fairport Convention confessing after she had got the job that she had thought they were American.
In 1969 the Fairports reached their peak. By now Sandy was known also for her songwriting abilities and she seemed set to become a major artist.
But at the end of 1969, just as the Fairports were becoming well-known, she left and started a new band Fotheringay with Australian guitarist Trevor Lucas whom she married three years later. Fotheringay rarely matched Fairport on stage.
After Fotheringay she went on to make four solo albums which included highly personal, quietly introspective ballads.
From 1974-6 she rejoined Fairport Convention, which now included her husband, and their 1975 album Rising For the Moon was an impressive return to a strong mixture of rock tunes and ballads.
The public were not so impressed and Sandy quit again, returning to solo work. Her last album Rendezvous came out last year. At her last London concert her haunting, sensitive voice was as fine as ever.
She may have suffered from the whims of fashion and her own insecurity, but she had the personality and talent to develop even further. She'll be sadly missed. -R.D.

Historical Note
Properties represented in the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historic Properties Collection provide lasting documentation of significant properties in the Harrisonburg-Rockingham County area. The unique architecture and historical significance of these properties provided the foundation for consideration for nomination for the National Register of Historic Places.
Architectural styles in Rockingham County and the City of Harrisonburg differ from eastern Virginia largely due to early settlement patterns. Rockingham County was formally established in 1777 from Augusta and Orange counties. The physical geography of Rockingham County, located west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, deterred most settlers on the eastern coast from crossing the mountains to explore western Virginia. The immigrants of Rockingham County thus hailed from northern states, such as Pennsylvania and Maryland, bringing with them architectural styles from their Germanic, Swiss, and Scots-Irish heritage.
There were two distinct periods of development in America, both of which influenced architectural choices in Rockingham County and Harrisonburg; the Antebellum period from 1830-1860 and the Reconstruction and Growth period from 1865 to 1917. The dominating styles in Rockingham County ranged from 19th century Colonial (as seen in the Mannheim House,) 19th century Georgian (as seen in the Emanuel Roller House and the Contentment House,) 19th century Federal (as seen in the Jacob Yount House,) to 20th century Modern. Transitional styles include the Queen Anne style, Gothic and Greek Revival, Italianate, and Colonial Revival. All of these distinct styles were modified to reflect local traditions and customs. This change of style, due to local materials, craftsmen, and traditions, is known as "vernacular style." All of the houses in this collection represent some form of vernacular style, while reflecting the national architectural style as well.
Some of the more notable properties in the collection include:
The Thomas Harrison House: The historical context of the Thomas Harrison House is vital to the Harrisonburg community as it was the home of its founder, Thomas Harrison. The house represents the first permanent structure of the area, as well as one of the only surviving vernacular stone structures. This circa 1750 house reflects the 18th century vernacular style to its fullest extent. The house, built of limestone rubble, is a one and half story single pile structure over a raised basement with an attic. The basement was built over a spring, which is characteristic of many early Rockingham County houses.
Mannheim: This property serves as an example of 18th century farm life and the institution of slavery, which was not as widespread in Rockingham County as in central and eastern Virginia. Architecturally, the Mannheim house represents the Germanic influence. Built in 1750 with a massive central chimney, this two story house displays fine Germanic craftsmanship. The property also includes several examples of outbuildings, including a springhouse, icehouse, and slave quarters.
Contentment: The historical context of Contentment has both political and social elements. Members of the Grattan family, the original builders of the house, served in the Virginia House of Delegates. In 1864, the land surrounding Contentment was used during the Civil War as Confederate troops organized there prior to the Battle of the Piedmont. Socially, the Grattan family represents one of the most prominent Scots-Irish families in Rockingham County, as the family had resided in Contentment since 1761 and helped support Revolutionary War efforts. The Contentment House is a large, two-story Georgian style farmhouse built in 1823. With the traditional pattern of two windows aside a central door, a second story aligned with the same layout, and fireplaces on the gable end, the house remains relatively unchanged.
John Paul House: This property, as its name suggests, is significant largely due to the significance of its inhabitants. The Paul family boasts two federal judges and one state judge. Most prominent was Peter Paul, Jr. who was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1855. The John Paul House, also known as the Ottobine Farm, is representative in the nineteenth century changing architectural styles as it reflects both Late Victorian Gothic style and Greek Revival. The original 1890 Gothic-style carved porch was replaced in 1939 with a two-story Greek Revival portico to match the family's growing prosperity in Harrisonburg.
Peale House: Jonathan Peale, the owner, was a wealthy farmer and prominent citizen in early Harrisonburg history. However, its historical significance stems from its association with General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, who was said to have set up base at the Peale House prior to the Battle of Cross Keys and Port Republic. The Peale House is a unique example of Gothic Revival architectural style incorporated with vernacular style built in the 1840s. Constructed of brick, the house boasts Doric columns supporting a two story portico on the front and two story columns supporting the back porches; these features are reminiscent of ancient Greek temples hence the style name.
Scope and Content:
The Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historic Properties Collection consists of 2.8 linear feet of material, c. 1989 to 2006. The collection was generated by students in Mr. Darryl Nash's Historic Preservation Class (HIST 493/693, ARTH 493) at James Madison University. The only exception to this is the Graves Chapel Property which was completed by Mr. Nash himself. The collection primarily contains National Register Nomination Forms and supporting material for potential property candidates for the National Register of Historic places in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, supported by a wide array of documents and images relating to each property. It is arranged chronologically by date generated, then alphabetically by property with the following sub series: Forms, Supporting Documents, Images, and Oversized. For more a more detailed list for each property please see itemized contents list.

Verizon Center, Washington, DC
WASHINGTON (AP) -- When the Vogue cover model missed the 3-point attempt at the buzzer, the returning birthday boy and the Washington Wizards had an exhilarating win over a big nemesis.
Caron Butler unleashed a month's worth of pent-up energy on day he turned 28, coming back from a 16-game injury absence to score 19 points Thursday night in the Wizards' 101-99 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Butler, whose hip injury sent Washington into a February slump, scored the game's opening basket, survived some rough contact and made six of his first eight shots before fatigue set in. The player the Wizards affectionally refer to as "Tough Juice" finished 8-for-18 from the field and had five rebounds in 41 minutes.
"Swag at an all-time high," said Butler, sporting a sharp suit with a purple-and-white tie and matching handkerchief after the game. "Feeling good. Good win. Birthday. Going to go out with the team into the city and celebrate right now."
Butler scored only one point in the fourth quarter, but at least he had a better game than LeBron James, who marked his appearance on the cover of the April issue of Vogue with a spotty performance. He finished with 25 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and seven turnovers and went 9-for-22 from the field, including 1-for-7 from 3-point range and 1-for-6 in the fourth quarter.
James was driving with a chance to tie -- the Cavaliers trailed 96-94 -- when he lowered his left shoulder into DeShawn Stevenson for a foul with 19.4 seconds to play. James' potential game-winning 27-footer, again with Stevenson guarding him, hit the front of the rim and bounced away as time expired.
"I missed shots. I'm human. I can miss shots," James said. "We still had a chance to win. That's all I can ask of my team and my teammates. We turned the ball over once again. I turned the ball over too many times."
The victory put the Wizards (32-32) back at .500 for the first time since they were 24-24 on Feb. 6. It also gave them a measure of satisfaction against a team that has knocked them out of the playoffs in back-to-back years.
"Every time we play them they have this certain swag to them that they can just beat us," said Stevenson, who exchanged his share of trash-talk during the game. "And I'm tired of going out there and them jumping on us."
Antawn Jamison had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Darius Songaila scored 15 points on 7-for-8 shooting for the Wizards, who nearly blew a nine-point lead in the final 4 1/2 minutes.
Sasha Pavlovic scored 19 of his season-high 24 points in the first half for the Cavaliers, but he sat out much of the second half because of foul trouble and fouled out with 1:19 to play.
Butler was aggressive from the opening whistle. He crashed to the floor belly-first while making a layup and drawing a blocking foul on Anderson Varejao, then popped up instantly and raised his arms to a roaring crowd. He had 13 of Washington's first 31 points.
"That was big for us," point guard Antonio Daniels said. "To see him pumping the crowd up, you could see he's back to being who he is."
Cleveland missed its first seven shots in the fourth quarter, allowing the Wizards to go on a 9-2 run capped by Songaila's three-point play. Washington led 92-83 after a basket by Stevenson with 4:21 remaining.
But it was the third quarter -- when the Wizards shot 71 percent -- that bothered Cleveland coach Mike Brown the most.
"Awful, awful. It's the same old song," Brown said. "I don't why we're not coming out in the third quarter not focused."
Game notes
Cleveland's Ben Wallace returned after missing Wednesday's game with back spasms. Zydrunas Ilgauskas (bulging disc in back) missed his seventh straight game. The injuries prompted the Cavaliers to sign C Lance Allred from Idaho of the NBA's Development League to a 10-day contract. ... James, who had a knee-to-knee collision in Wednesday's game, went down twice in the first half. He limped off the court after getting bumped by Stevenson while catching a pass but soon returned. ... Jamison (back strain) and Daniels (sprained left thumb) both started for the Wizards after missing practice Wednesday, although Daniels was clearly in pain when handling the ball.

Countless games I've had teammates fail to realize that THE WINDMILL is what you should be focusing, and time and again, I've had 2 or 3 teammates forget all about it and try to get the bottom points. Meanwhile the enemy is having a party with their free top. This is stupid because it's RIGHT BESIDE THEIR SPAWN. Like when an enemy caps your team's bottom point, how easy is it to walk 10 steps out of your spawn and get it back? Especially stupid when they cap the enemy bottom point, then just walk away, so they can quickly get it back. Compared to just defending THE WINDMILL all the way up at the top of the map? What will it take for people to realize this? If you don't own THE WINDMILL (top), you're losing points, and the game. Plain and simple.
That is not necessarily the case. Sometimes you have teams that are all just heavily piled on top of windmill, and your team isn't get to get them off of it without getting completely wiped. At times like these, you can instead go bottom, and just 4-5 man their bot point. This will force the top defenders to move their complacent asses off the top point and cause a bit of chaos or confusion, and you can use that opportunity to head back up to top while they are trying to hold bot and get it that way. OR, if the defenders stay top, you get their bot point, and now *your* team is the one with a 3 cap, and the enemy team has to be proactive instead of lazy.
There're simply situations where you have to make the enemy team who is turtling at the windmill react to what you're doing without their tower advantage. You can't just go walk into a 4v4 while they have the tower advantage - that's flatout suicide. The smart thing to do is to make them react to you and hopefully their coordination is such that an opportunity presents itself to cap a tower. For example. Often times at the end of the game you're winning 20:300 but they have 3 towers and you have two. Do you waste time trying feebly to take back windmill that they're just camping? Or do you send 3 extra players to the bottom covertly and cap it really quickly and end the game right there? I often call for 5 man all-ins in that scenario and it's won many games.
Like Ra's al Ghul said "Theatricality and deception are powerful agents." Sometimes what you want to do is confuse the enemy. You cap their bottom point, suddenly you get one or two guys recalling to stop you. Now, the battle up top is a 3v2. Even just neutralizing their bot point can cause enough confusion. Plus, I seen games where someone does this so well that everyone starts to get frustrated and lose all sense of coordination. Suddenly, you win the game you thought you were going to lose.
The guys above me covered the reasons you're incorrect pretty well. I would like to add that 2 people on their bot require usually 4 or more people to take it back because they have to fight you on point. It's really not that simple to get that point back for that reason. Meanwhile you have 3 teammates who can roam and take other points.
Everyone above pretty much described why you're not always correct. Upvotes all around.
... And its time for our next segment called... Did you know? Did you know no matter which points you hold, the game will tick down the opponents nexus health if you own more than them?
Everything said above here is true. Dominion was not designed with 5 points so that only 1 was meant to be fought over. It is a game of timing and resource management. Suiciding a turtled Windmill is a surefire way to lose many a game. Funny thing is, I was just raging about my team doing just what the OP suggests last night in dominatedominion chat. Enemy is camping Windmill with Malphite and Alistar... we have a fraction of their hard CC... yet my team is convinced that taking bottom is a losing strategy.
USUALLY what happens... is we have three no problem... so everyone abandons top to jungle or fight over bot, leaving me up top alone to guard WM against 2-4 people. That's about 30% of my games. Now that... THAT makes me want to punch kittens. Of course there are times where going bot is a good idea... even a GREAT idea... but those are the times people refuse to do it, lol.

Congress finally gets it: Free trade is good for America
Despite negative public opinion about open trade, Congress is poised to approve delayed free trade agreements with South Korea, Panama, and Colombia. The deals will help the US economy by increasing exports and supporting and creating tens of thousands of jobs.
Finally, after more than four years of debate and acrimony, Congress is expected to pass the free trade agreements the United States negotiated with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea. All three will go a long way in helping to give a much-needed boost to the economy by increasing US exports and supporting and creating tens of thousands of American jobs.
For those of us who speak for hundreds of US companies with thousands of workers and worldwide operations, these free trade agreements (or FTAs) are urgently needed. Despite a popular view that open trade kills American jobs, the particulars of these agreements show their benefits.
In the case of Colombia, the FTA will provide duty-free access for more than 75 percent of US agricultural goods and more than 80 percent of US consumer products – helping to increase two-way trade, which reached more than $28 billion last year. The FTA – which is expected to help the American economy grow by $2.5 billion and US exports by $1.1 billion – allows us to seal a mutually beneficial deal with the third largest economy in South America and one of our longest standing democratic allies in the region.

Homelessness not just an urban problem, Minnesota groups say
Oct 1, 2011, 10:34 a.m.
By Andy Greder
PINE CITY, Minn (Reuters) - When a man spends winter hibernating in an icehouse on a lake or sleeping on the floor at a friend's house, it's tough to count him as "homeless."
Such were the difficulties social service groups in a 14-county area of central Minnesota found when they set out to gauge rural homelessness each January for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Because of that, the Central Minnesota Housing Partnership volunteered to collect a point-in-time snapshot six months later. It found a much starker picture.
The partnership found 301 homeless people in July, up 50 percent from the 197 reported in January in Minnesota counties stretching from St. Cloud east to the Wisconsin border.
Nationally, HUD's point-in-time count of homelessness in the United States taken each January has stayed "pretty steady through the recession and economic downturn," HUD spokeswoman Ashley Gammon said.
HUD counted 650,000 people homeless in its 2010 survey, the latest available figures, up from 643,000 in 2009.
The stability could be credited to $1.5 billion in stimulus spending for homeless prevention and rehousing and a record $1.6 billion allocated to homeless service providers in 2011 that allowed the agency to help 1 million people, Gammon said.
The housing partnership has told HUD that, in its view, performing a survey of homelessness during sub-zero conditions would lead to misleading gross underestimates, said Hanna Klimmek, who coordinated the summer sampling. She plans to include her rationale in an upcoming funding request to HUD.
"You are never going to get an accurate or true number of unsheltered homeless folks out there with weather like that," Klimmek said. "They are going to do everything in their power to stay with family and friends."
Mark Johnston, who leads HUD's homeless programs in Washington, D.C., said the agency consulted experts and research before selecting January as the month for its annual count starting in 1995.
"We've gotten very few complaints," Johnston said. "It's much easier to enumerate them in a shelter, than in the summer, when we would have to go to the woods to find people."
Along the Wisconsin border about mid-way between the Twin Cities and Duluth, Minnesota's Pine County tallied 98 homeless people with 38 unsheltered in July.
"It's too great a number," Pine City planner Nathan Johnson said of the July count. "There are people in our community that need some temporary assistance and need to try to gain some skills to get back to being self-sufficient."
Johnson has brought nine homeless people into his home over two years in Pine City, a small town of about 3,000 people.
A city counselor, ministers and some Pine City residents plan to open a shelter with room for 16 homeless people in January. It would be the first shelter on the 150-mile Interstate 35 corridor between the Twin Cities and Duluth.
"There is a definite need in that area, and they will fill it up immediately," Klimmek said.

Threat of 'gobbler risk' fades: 15-year trend data show people more likely to be injured by playing volleyball than hunting turkeys.
The number of turkey-hunting related incidents has dropped from 8.1 incidents per 100,000 hunters in 1991 to 2.95 incidents per 100,000 hunters last year, according to the National Wild Turkey Federation."Turkey hunting is actually one of the safest outdoor activities whether you're talking about team sports, other types of hunting or outdoor hobbies such as mountain biking," said Rob Keck, CEO of the National Wild Turkey Federation.
Citing statistics from American Sports Data Inc., the federation claims hunting turkeys is less dangerous than football, ice hockey and even volleyball. The data was released in January during the third meeting of the National Hunter Safety Task Force at the Wild Turkey Center in Edgefield, S.C.
Tom Hughes, a senior wildlife biologist with the National Wild Turkey Federation in Edgefield, said the drop was due to greater awareness among hunters of the dangers of shooting turkey.
Accidents occur when hunters act on what they think they know, an effect called "premature closure," said Hughes. A hunter who pulls the trigger at the sound of rustling brush, or who shoots at the sight of the slightest motion, is guilty of "premature closure."
"The mind connects the dots without having all the information," said Hughes.
According to data collected from the International Hunter Education Association Web site, many people involved in shooting-related incidents are experienced hunters. Still, said Hughes, most get into trouble because they shoot first and then ask questions. Sometimes, shooters mistake a glimpse of a blaze-orange jacket for the male turkey's head.
Hunters running into trees while riding their ATVs in the course of hunting turkeys are a major source of turkey-hunting insurance claims, according to Glenn Sudol, president of the Westminster, Colo.-based agency Gillingham & Associates. "They (ATVs) are speedy and trees are hard," he said.
One of his agency's most severe claims stemmed from an incident about four years ago when a hunter fired on a game warden. "He mistook a game warden for a turkey and shot him up pretty good," said Sudol. The warden survived.
Turkey-hunting incidents are usually insured under a general liability policy taken out by the hunting lodges and rifle clubs who own the land on which many accidents occur. The liability policy is typically part of a broader commercial insurance package covering the business.
Outfitters and guides who take hunters out into the field to shoot turkey are likely to be insured by a monoline liability policy, Sudol said.
The National Wild Turkey Federation has 525,000 members in 50 states and 12 foreign countries. It estimates that there are 6.8 million wild turkeys and approximately 3 million turkey hunters.

I have waved versions of Spydercos Delica and Endura knives. I was attracted to their quick deployment and am completely satisfied with that aspect of both. Unfortunately I am dissatisfied with two other features:
1. The half inch that sticks out when I clip it to my front pocketI believe I can fix both issues but when I think like that I usually spend more time and money than necessary so I thought it best to try and learn from other forum members experiences/insights. In my mind the knife is more noticeable than I would like:
2. The use of silver screws on a black handle
Knife Ride.jpg
I was thinking a low rise clip would resolve most of my issue:
But if I'm going to pay $12.00 shipping for a $7.42 part I might as well get the screws too and be done with it. Here is the source I found for parts:
Ti Pocket Clip Formed & Tumbled .040" Low Rider STEALTH
So, has anyone ever used these guys before? Is there a better source for knife parts? Does anyone have the screw sizes for a Spyderco Delica/Endura clip and handle? Should I just go worry about something that is actually important?

McDermott defends Long
15 Feb 2010 - 14:23:59
Reading boss Brian McDermott has defended striker Shane Long after he was shown a straight red card during Saturday's FA Cup fifth round draw against West Bromwich Albion.
The front man received his marching orders after an over the ball challenge on Abdoulaye Meite early in the second-half.
It was the Irishman's second dismissal of the season and as a result, Meite was forced out of the action.
It looked to swing the game towards the Baggies, with the scores tied at 1-1, but sub Youssuf Mulumbu picked up two yellow cards within 15 minutes of coming on to make it ten-a-side.
Jimmy Kebe opened the scoring inside ten seconds before Robert Koren equalised before the red card drama.
Simon Church looked to have scored the winner for the Royals only for Joe Mattock to equalise at the death.
Despite his dismissal, McDermott has leapt to the 23-year-old's defence, claiming it was a mistimed challenge rather than malevolent.
He said: "He's gone for the ball, he's missed it and he's half a second late. The ref decided to send him off and that is his prerogative.
"He's an honest player, he's not a malicious player so it's just one of those things.
"I don't know (if it was the right decision) - the referee makes those decisions, I don't have to."
