ELKINS - Logan Phillips lit up Class AA, No. 8 Fairmont Senior for 31 points to lead Elkins to a 66-62 Big 10 Conference victory Saturday night at Richard P. Simmons Memorial Gymnasium.
"I felt we really bounced back well," Tigers coach John Lawson said, referring to the 65-52 loss to Preston County on Friday. "We defended well. That was a point of emphasis going in. We got back to the fundamentals and doing the little things it takes to win games. Really, it was a big win for us."
The Tigers took a 34-26 lead into the locker room at halftime. Fairmont Senior was able to out score Elkins in the second half, 36-32, but it wasn't enough to pull out the victory.

"We knew they were going to be tough," Lawson said. "It was a very physical game. Defensively, our kids decided they were going to get the job done. They responded well and that's what they have to do to be a good team. I'm proud of their effort. They pulled out a tough win over a very good opponent."
Elkins junior Braden Hammond scored 15 points, nailing four 3-pointers. Colby Gainer added 13 points and Tyler Shreve scored seven points.
Joe Leon paced the Polar Bears with 16 points. Isaac Childers and Mike Holloway contributed 13 points each.

Hampshire 83, B-U 38
ROMNEY - Hampshire's Travis Clower erupted for 43 points in an 83-38 victory over Buckhannon-Upshur on Saturday.
"There just wasn't anything good about it," Bucs coach Eli Gurash said. "We played very uninspired and without much heart. After the going got tough, as a group, we quit. The good news is we finally hit rock bottom. There is nowhere to go but up from here. I expect the boys to bounce back."
Senior Jordan Look paced the Bucs in scoring with nine points. Zane Cleavenger contributed five points to the effort.

"I know it might sound strange, but our girls played some of the best basketball I've seen them play yet," Tigers coach Cathy Duffield said referring to the second half of the game. "Fairmont has a really nice team. They have size and speed. We did very well in the second half against their press. I'm very pleased with the way our girls played in the second half to finish out the game like that. Their heads are up and I think they are starting to get hungry."
Fairmont held a 48-16 lead at halftime. However, the Tigers stepped up the pace in the second half and matched Fairmont point-for-point.
Junior Meghan Dolly led the Tigers in scoring with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Sophomore Logan Dudley contributed nine points and five rebounds.

Jeff Bauman, one of the most memorable faces of the Boston Marathon bombings, welcomed a daughter Sunday.
He and fiancée Erin Hurley "are proud to announce the birth of their beautiful baby girl, Nora Gail Bauman," his Facebook page reads. "Everyone is happy and healthy!"
A photograph of Bauman, 28, being rushed to an ambulance following the blast went viral in April 2013. From his hospital bed, Bauman helped authorities identify the bombing suspects.
On the one-year anniversary of the bombings, Bauman announced that he and Hurley, whom he was supporting in her race on that fateful day, were engaged and expecting their first child.
"My mom loves it. My dad's going crazy," he said. "I just want to be a good dad."

The Durango High School boys soccer team bounced back from an early deficit and Friday�s close loss to topple Grand Junction Central 4-2 on Saturday.
DHS suffered a 2-1 loss to Fruita Monument on Friday, then fell behind 1-0 to the Warriors on Saturday before pulling even behind a Seumus McAliney free-kick goal. DHS got a pair of goals from Nick Aggeler, who scored the Demons� lone goal Friday, and another from Ansel Schiavone to cap the victory.
�The boys were just stringing passes together and played some good soccer,� DHS head coach Kenny Wood said.
Wood was happy with the way his side bounced back after its second loss of the season to the Wildcats.
�They really bounced back and knew there was a lot at stake. ... One of those things where they went down early, but they knew they were never out of it,� Wood said.
Friday�s loss to Fruita Monument was tough to swallow as DHS pushed hard for an equalizer in the final 10 minutes that Wood said he thought his team would find a way to get.
�They made two key saves off their goal line. It�s unfortunate, just a tough loss,� he said.
DHS finishes its regular season at 9-3-3 overall and 6-3-1 in league. Class 4A postseason assignments will be handed down Oct. 21.

Mexico is the country located just south of the United States. Contrary to what many people believe and say, it is a country of culture and diversity and the locals are welcoming people. It is also a country of beautiful beaches and with some of the most interesting history in the world.
When we went to Cancun, Mexico the people there were very nice and treated us to some of their food and salsa dancing.

Mexico is a country located in North America (altough nor canada or USA want to accept it). Mexico is a Country full of culture, the best food on the earth. A lot of mexicans of the low class migrate to the USA in sights of a better job. Because in Mexico the Minmun Salary is $5 for 8 hours, while in the USA is $5 per hour (unconfirmed). There are fat people, like everywhere else. But in USA, there are more fat people than in Mexico.
Be sure that when you go to mexico, try the "Tacos de Foco", they are the most delicious thing on earth!

what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart's longing.
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.

Naser al-Din Shah Qajar[1] (16 July 1831 – 1 May 1896) (Persian: ناصرالدین شاه قاجار), also Nassereddin Shah Qajar, was the King of Persia from 5 September 1848 to 1 May 1896 when he was assassinated. He was the son of Mohammad Shah Qajar and Malek Jahān Khānom and the third longest reigning monarch in Iranian history after Shapur II of the Sassanid dynasty and Tahmasp I of the Safavid Dynasty. Nasser al-Din Shah had sovereign power for close to 50 years and was also the first modern Iranian monarch to formally visit Europe.
Diplomacy and wars[edit]
Naser al-Din was in Tabriz from Qajars tribe when he heard of his father's death in 1848, and he ascended to the Sun Throne with the help of Amir Kabir.
Naser al-Din had early reformist tendencies, but was dictatorial in his style of government. With his sanction, some Babis were killed after an attempt on his life.[2] This treatment continued under his prime minister Amir Kabir, who even ordered the execution of the Báb – regarded as a manifestation of God to Bábí's and Bahá'ís, and to historians as the founder of the Bábí religion.
Unable to regain the territory in the Caucasus irrevocably lost to Russia in the early 19th century, Naser al-Din sought compensation by seizing Herāt, Afghanistan, in 1856. Great Britain regarded the move as a threat to British India and declared war on Persia, forcing the return of Herāt as well as Persia recognition of the kingdom of Afghanistan.[3]
Naser al-Din was the first modern Persian monarch to visit Europe in 1873 and then again in 1878 (when he saw a Royal Navy Fleet Review), and finally in 1889 and was reportedly amazed with the technology he saw. During his visit to the United Kingdom in 1873, Naser al-Din Shah was appointed by Queen Victoria a Knight of the Order of the Garter, the highest English order of chivalry. He was the first Persian monarch to be so honoured. His travel diary of his 1873 trip has been published in several languages, including Persian, German, French, and Dutch.
In 1890 Naser al-Din met British Major Gerald F. Talbot and signed a contract with him giving him the ownership of the Persian tobacco industry, but he later was forced to cancel the contract after Ayatollah Mirza Hassan Shirazi issued a fatwa that made farming, trading, and consuming tobacco haram (forbidden). Consuming tobacco from the newly monopolized 'Talbet' company represented foreign exploitation, so for that reason it was deemed immoral. It even affected the Shah's personal life as his wives did not allow him to smoke.
This was not the end of Naser al-Din's attempts to give concessions to Europeans; he later gave the ownership of Persian customs incomes to Paul Julius Reuter.
Naser al-Din was effective in introducing several different western influences to Persia. He curbed the secular power of the clergy, introduced telegraphy and postal services, built roads, opened the first school offering education along Western lines, and launched Persia's first newspaper. He was the first Persian to be photographed and was a patron of photography who had himself photographed hundreds of times. His final prime minister was Ali Asghar Khan, who after the shah's assassination aided in securing the transfer of the throne to Mozaffar al-Din.
In 1852 Naser al-Din dismissed and executed Amir Kabir, the famous Persian reformer. With him, many believe, died the prospect of an independent Persia led by meritocracy rather than nepotism.
In the later years of his rule, however, Naser al-Din steadfastly refused to deal with the growing pressures for reforms. He also granted a series of concessionary rights to foreigners in return for large payments that went into his own pockets. In 1872, popular pressure forced him to withdraw one concession involving permission to construct such complexes as railways and irrigation works throughout Persia. In 1890, he made an even greater error in granting a 50-year concession on the purchase, sale, and processing of all tobacco in the country, which led to a national boycott of tobacco and the withdrawal of the concession. This last incident is considered by many authorities to be the origin of modern Iranian nationalism.
Naser al-Din was assassinated by Mirza Reza Kermani, a follower of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, when he was visiting and praying in the shrine of Shah-Abdol-Azim. It is said that the revolver used to assassinate him was old and rusty, and had he worn a thicker overcoat, or been shot from a longer range, he would have survived the attempt on his life.[4] Shortly before his death, he is reported to have said "I will rule you differently if I survive!" Naser al-Din Shah's assassin was prosecuted by the Defence Minister Nazm ol Doleh.
Naser al-Din was buried in the Shah-Abdol-Azim shrine, in Rayy near Tehran, where he was assassinated. His funeral took place six months after his death. A British diplomat who spoke with some who had been present, Charles Hardinge, commented " ..the corpse was conveyed on a very high funeral car and was 'high' in more ways than one." [5](see picture below 'the Shah's funeral'). His one-piece marble tombstone, bearing his full effigy, is now kept in the Golestan Palace Museum in Tehran and is renowned as a masterpiece of Qajar-era sculpture.

Artistic and literary interests[edit]
Naser al-Din Shah was very interested in painting and photography. He was a talented painter, and even though he had not been trained, was an expert in pen and ink drawing. Several of his pen and ink drawings survive. He was one of the first photographers in Persia and was a patron of the art. He established a photography studio in Golestan Palace.[6]
Naser al-Din was also a poet. 200 couplets of his were recorded in the preface of Majma'ul Fusahā, a work by Reza-Qoli Khan Hedayat about poets of the Qajar period. He was interested in history and geography and had many books on these topics in his library. He also knew French and English, but was not fluent in either tongue.[7]
Hekāyāt Pir o Javān (حکایت پیر و جوان; "The Tale of the Old and the Young") was attributed to him by many; it was one of the first Persian stories written in modern European style.[8]

ISAIAH BRANCH-BOYLE/Durango Herald
ISAIAH BRANCH-BOYLE/Durango Herald
After almost four decades of preaching, counseling and presiding over weddings and funerals, the Rev. Monte Gusewelle is retiring from St. Paul�s Lutheran Church. His career has taken him from remote rural communities to a hospital chaplaincy and an inner city church before his last 9� years at St. Paul�s.
Gusewelle�s retirement plans are simple.
�I�m going to serve as an interim minister, and enjoy life,� the 65-year-old said.
Gusewelle�s path to the ministry started on a dairy farm in Illinois near St. Louis.
�My mom and dad, Clarence and Evelyn, were devout Christians,� he said. �I grew up in a wonderful nurturing home.�
Gusewelle graduated from the Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. He began his ministry in July 1973 in Salina, Kan., with a bivocational ministry � one not associated with a parish.
It wasn�t long before he was assigned to rural South Dakota, at various times serving in Yale, Iroquois and Huron.
�It was like stepping back to the Reformation,� he said, �I went into a building in Huron, and all of a sudden, I was surrounded by about 70 or 80 men and boys wearing the (old-fashioned) hats and everything. They were such a reflection of what had gone on in the 1680s that was transported to the U.S.�
The men were Hutterites, a sect similar to the Amish and Mennonites.
Life was not easy for Gusewelle�s congregations there.
�There were so many hardships in terms of what was happening around there,� he said. �Auto accidents, droughts, crop failures, one thing after another. Their faith was tested all the time.�
After a year as a chaplain at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, Ill., Gusewelle became the pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Oakland, Calif, where he would spend the next 19-plus years.
�It was in the no-man�s zone,� he said. �Just above us was all secure wealthy homes, and on the flatlands around us, a welfare, drug culture and burgeoning undocumented immigrant population. I went into the neighborhoods, but it wasn�t easy. I tried to establish relationships.�
And then he came Durango. He heard from his brother, Mark Gusewelle, that St. Paul�s was seeking a new minister and applied.
�No nepotism was involved,� he said with a laugh.
During his time at the church, St. Paul�s has added a 1,200-foot addition courtesy of parishioner Gertrude Brown, celebrated its 125th anniversary and continued its flourishing preschool ministry.
But Gusewelle�s favorite memories are more simple.
�One of the things I�ve most enjoyed doing is the Christmas Eve candlelight service,� he said. �And I�ve been surrounded by love here.�
Parishioners are glad he�s going to continue to call Durango home.
�He absolutely walks the talk,� said June Dunn, one of the regular organists for the church. �He lives what he preaches from the pulpit and truly loves people.�

El Dorado County Search and Rescue personnel and South Lake Tahoe firefighters were able to rescue a man who nearly drowned at the Tahoe Keys July 15, according to a Saturday statement from South Lake Tahoe Fire Chief Bruce Martin.
Personnel from the agencies responded to the Keys following a report of a swimmer in trouble, according to the statement.
Rescuers, including search and rescue's Dan Schmidt, swam down about 10 feet, retrieved the man and pulled him onto a boat, Martin said.
The man was revived with CPR on the way to the hospital and was eventually flown to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno. He has fully recovered and has been released from the hospital, according to the statement.
Rescuers used a new piece of equipment called the Auto-Pulse to provide mechanical compressions to the man during life-saving efforts.

Jessica first attended the show on Nov. 30, which was Ashlee's Broadway debut, at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City. "Roxie was all Heart!" Jessica tweeted of her sister's performance as Roxie Hart. "Watching her up on that grandiose stage made me the proudest sister in the world. I love ya honey, I love ya!. Grrrrrrr"
The next night, Dec. 1, Jessica was back again, tweeting this time: "Night #2 :) I'm so proud!! Butterflies all over again!!!" And after taking a night off, it seems Jessica went through withdrawal because she returned to see Chicago on Dec. 3 and Dec. 4.
And on Dec. 23, she was back!
The first time, however, that Simpson saw her sister in Chicago was on Sept. 25, 2006, when Ashlee appeared in a West End production of the show in London.

She's a member here but doesn't post much since she really doesn't like all the arguing that goes on. I'm as guilty as anyone on that but I'd appreciate any prayers or good thoughts you can spare for her. This tumor has grown a bunch lately so it's very nnecessary to do something.

As you may recall, the health care bill [3] that was recently signed into law included provisions for the extension of dependent health insurance to those under 26. Specifically – "Young adults will be able to stay on their parents' health plans until the age of 26. Many health plans currently drop dependents from coverage when they turn 19 or finish college."
This week the government released the details [4] of how this would work.
Health Plans that cover Dependents: If your health care plan currently covers dependents, the rules takes effect on or after Sept. 23, 2010. The rule would now require that the policyholder's children be covered until the age of 26 unless they have access to an employer-sponsored plan. If they were previously dropped, they can re-enroll as long as they don't have access to an employer-sponsored plan. The child does not need to live with the parent and does not need to be claimed as a dependent on the parent's tax return. If the health insurance plan's open enrollment period isn't in the fall, the plan must give dependents 30 days to decide whether or not to enroll.
So far, 65 insurance companies have allowed students graduating from college to remain on their parent's plans. (you read this list on the 4th and 5th page of the White House release [4].
Health Plans that don't cover Dependents: If your health care plan doesn't cover dependents, then it won't be required to cover children until Jan. 1, 2014, when a child can re-enroll if they do not have access to an employer sponsored plan. The rules are the same, the implementation date is just further out.
How much will it cost? "The health department estimated that the average cost to cover each new enrollee would be $3,380 in 2011, $3,500 in 2012 and $3,690 in 2013." (from NYT [5])
The White House also shared some sobering statistics – 30% of young adults are uninsured, making it the largest percentage of any age group. They don't share the source of this statistics but I remember, when looking for a job, that health insurance was the biggest concern. Before the recent law, I wouldn't have health insurance under my parents once I graduated. I didn't know how much it cost on the private market and I was fortunate not to have any pre-existing conditions, but the prospect of being uninsured was a little daunting. It's like being on a ship without having a life preserve under your seat, 99.99999% of the time you're fine, but that slim chance of disaster is still scary.

The 5 Dumbest Nicknames (and Why the Media Uses Them)
#2. The God Particle
The "God particle" is a nickname widely used to describe the Higgs Boson, a nickname that just about every physicist in the world hates. And although it wasn't even the media that came up with the tag -- it originated with an actual physicist -- they're the ones who ran with it. It's hard to find any stories about the Higgs in the general media that don't at least mention the "God particle" label.
Why It Needs a Nickname:
Because the media don't know what they're talking about.
Let's back up a bit and explain what the Higgs Boson actually is. It turns out that it's an elementary particle that ... does ... something. I think.
It pa ... particles? Is that a verb?
OK, I've just checked every general news article about the Higgs, and it's apparently an elementary particle that allows all matter to have mass. So that makes sense. I think.
No, I'm still not getting it.
And that's the problem. Very few people understand physics enough to understand what the Higgs is, what it does or why it's important. It's a complicated concept, a confusing solution to a confusing problem. "The God particle" is a simple concept, which explains very simply that we're dealing with a very important particle. A particle that probably has a beard. And is always angry at us and the things we're doing.
This I get.
#1. K-Stew
"K-Stew" is how a few people in the media describe Kristen Stewart, an actress perhaps best known for her role in the 2002 thriller Panic Room.
Who could forget the huge line-ups to see Panic Room and its four sequels?
"K-Stew" is a stupid, stupid name for a whole lot of reasons. First, it sounds like a low-budget knockoff of Alphagetti, the kind of thing you'd see on the bottom shelf of a grocery store. It also sounds at least a little bit like a street drug, as well as perhaps the kind of bowel movements one might have a few hours after ingesting the same street drug. The name's only reason for existing is brevity, a lousy nine-character savings that happens to grossly inhibit the readability of whatever sentence it's been inflicted on. In no way is this an adequate label for the talented star of Zathura.
I remember me and all my friends dressing up as our favorite Zathura characters, like "the girl" and "Trevor Sportcoat."
Why She Needs a Nickname:
Because tabloids are staffed entirely by morons.
No one knows how every celebrity reporter sustained a head injury in 2002, the year "Bennifer" was created. My pet theory, that an extremely clumsy intern with a pair of skis over his shoulder brained everyone in LA over the course of one hectic autumn day, is as yet unproven.
OK, that's unfair. The real reason is:
Because the morons need to write headlines.
As hinted at above, the celebrity nickname trend really took off this past decade to help name celebrity couples. This makes a bit of sense; although still individuals, couples are treated as a single unit in many different aspects of life, so having a single name to refer to them could be handy. And more importantly, these abbreviated names saved not just a few characters, but dozens, which comes in very handy for a tabloid editor writing a headline, where space is always at a premium.
Hard-hitting headlines like:
Brangelina -- They're on a Boat!
The Brangelina Brood Goes Trick or Treating!
Brangelina at Super Bowl -- Game On!
Huh. Maybe ... maybe ... it is actually ...
Because tabloids are staffed entirely by morons.
Yeah. That sounds better.
