To lose a game (or play so poorly) in such a strange manner that only the Cubs could do, that one can only sit in amazement.The examples cited were: Wow, my team just walked six straight batters then threw a wild pitch to blow a three run lead, then gave up a grand slam to lose. That is some real Cubbery! Or: That team's Cubbery stopped them from scoring a run even though they had the bases loaded with no outs. The examples of Cubbery through the years are plentiful, a meltdown in the Big Apple being the most noticeable event this year. So go at it, what are some of the most Cubbery moments in your lifetime?
Cubbery: the team and events
Cubbery: the team and events that lead to the loss to the Phillies, when closer LaTroy Hawkins fielded an infield grounder and hit baserunner Jose Offerman in the helmet, with the ball going into the stands and scoring the lead runs. Final Phils 3 Cubs 2.
truly a great moment in

"Oh no, he dropped the ball..." Santo
In the bottom of the ninth, the Cubs were clinging to a two run lead against the Brewers. Milwaukee loaded the bases but with two out, reliever and ex-Giant Rod Beck coaxed a fly ball that arced out to left field.
The ball landed right on Brant Brown's glove, drawing cheers from the Chicago fans. But the shouts of joy quickly turned to gasps as the ball dropped to the ground, possibly taking the Cubs' playoff hopes right along with it. (note: they did go to the playoffs in 1998, thanks to then Rockie Neifi Perez' HR on the last day of the season)
That same series when
That same series when Michael Barrett botched a 9th inning rundown allowing the tieing run to score. Along with the Fightin Phils winning in extras was an excellent example of Cubbery.
Absolutely no question it
Absolutely no question it was this one:
This game actually caused me to be institutionalized for several months afterward, and it's why I drool today.
What was especially noteworthy about this game was that it was the largest blown lead in an extra inning game in big league history up until that point in time, and not only that, but the Cubs somehow managed to blow not one--but two--five-run leads in the same game.
The bottom of the 11th was played in a steady drizzle and took forever.
For those of you who end up in Hell after you die, you will be required to watch this game over and over again. Once was enough for me.
Can Cubbery also include
Can Cubbery also include just perplexing plays? For instance, when Aramis Ramirez (normally a good fielder) played a high, lazy pop fly off his head last year?
August and September 1960,

You've given me the defintion, and I'm choosing to go in a different direction with it. Now maybe I'm missing the exact point of this exercise, but here we go:
Cubbery - Anything of, or pertaining to, that other Cubs blog, in and/or of itself, or also including it's author.
While expectations are high, many boneheaded mistakes and underwhleming production in multiple facets lead to horrible inexecution and general failure for everyone to mock.
plays can also be included
plays can also be included under the Cubbery umbrella...

How about this game earlier
How about this game earlier in the year, on 4/20? You could almost argue the Cubs played the game under the spirit of 4/20...
Cedeno gets thrown out trying to steal second base in the 9th inning when he overslides the bag, Mark DeRosa thrown out running to first in the first inning because he misses first base.
do I have to do it? NLCS
do I have to do it?
NLCS Game 6, 2003.....
I hate every single player, coach and fan involved in that game.
this was always a favorite of mine from last year...Neifi's double-error that allowed M. Giles to score the winning run from second on a sac fly...
The last century has to be
The last century has to be the ultimate example of Cubbery. Each of the examples above is an amazing story unto its own, but the sum total is staggering. What is more amazing is that Cubbery fact is way stranger than fiction. You couldn't make that stuff up. Imagine Gabriel García Márquez writing "One Hundred Years of Ineptitude" instead of "One Hundred Years of Solitude," and you still wouldn't have a story as odd as real life Cubbery.
Is calling the booth to
Is calling the booth to complain about the announcers a Cubbish-league manuever? Sort of along the lines of Bush league. Yet involving the cubs?
Great guys its bad enough
Great guys its bad enough being a Cub fan and having to endure the hazing and ribbing by other teams baseball fans now we have to take this from our very own.
Put me down for for the 1984 NLCS Cubs team up 2-0 and eventually losing to the Padres 3-2.
At least we have this going
At least we have this going for us. Our announcers put it to the cardinals franchise. Literally!
From Harry Caray's winkipedia:
In 1969, however, after the Cardinals had won back-to-back National League pennants and the 1967 World Series against the Boston Red Sox, Caray was unexpectedly fired as the Cardinals' lead broadcaster. Golenbock and other Cardinal historians have suggested the cause was a purported affair Caray had with the daughter-in-law of Cardinals owner August Busch, Jr. (who also owned Anheuser-Busch brewery, the club's owner and broadcast sponsor); Caray first called it a business grudge while never necessarily denying or affirming the rumours.

Hey, I'm kind of a young guy
Hey, I'm kind of a young guy (was born just soon enough before the 1984 NLCS to not be able to remember it personally), but I'd be interested to hear from others what kind of Cubbery went on in the earlier days. We all know about the awful plays they've made in the last half-decade or so, but what were Cubs games like in the 1960s and 1970s? Did people like Bobby Dernier or Adolfo Philips make dumb plays to lose ballgames? Were indescribable injuries happening to the team back then?
Cubbery should have its own
Cubbery should have its own website - when its all said and done something tells me there will be a lot of Cubbery moments to draw upon. I am also thinking of Cubbery trades e.g. Lou Brock. Cubbery players - there are plenty of Cubs to put together an all-stiffs team.
(I'd also like to follow up
(I'd also like to follow up my last post by noting the strange phenomenon of being burdened and psychologically affected by years like 1984 and 1969 without having lived through them. It's like once you become a Cubs fan, you tap into and just sort of acquire this reflexive pain brought on by the mention of those years.)

BEST 1960's CUBBERY
This was the first game in 1969 where the unthinkable happened (it would happen several more times later in the year) and I began to think that maybe things weren't going to turn out too well.
The Cubs had just lost a Sunday July DH at St. Louis the day before, and were in NY playing a Monday afternoon game versus the Mets at Shea.
Cubs ace Ferguson Jenkins was pitching a great game (a freakin' ONE-HITTER!), and the Cubs were up 3-1 going into the bottom of the 9th. The Mets had good pitching but no hitting, and with Fergie on the mound leading 3-1, it was a LOCK. The Cubs couldn't lose.
This was the game where Cubs CF Don Young (who was playing ONLY because of his defense) dropped a fly ball on the warning track (it was scored a hit, but it was an error), and the Mets went on to score three runs in the bottom of the 9th and the Cubs lost 4-3.
JACK BRICKHOUSE: "Back, back, and it's CAUGHT!!!!... AND DROPPED!!!!... by Young...
Ron Santo blew his cool and blasted Young after the game while talking to reporters, and Young left the clubhouse in tears. After this is when I remember Santo started to get booed by Cubs fans.
BEST 1970's CUBBERY
What other team could come back from a 12-run 5th inning deficit, somehow manage to tie the game, and then lose in extra innings?
BEST 1980's CUBBERY:
The Cubs had the best regular season record in the National League in 1984, the Cy Young winner (Rick Sutcliffe), the MVP (Ryne Sandberg), the Manager of the Year (Jim Frey), and the Executive of the Year (Dallas Green),
It was the N. L. East Champion's turn to get the extra game at home in the '84 NLCS, but because there weren't any lights at Wrigley Field, ABC-TV insisted that the first two games of the five-game series be played in Chicago, and the final three gamnes be played in San Diego. The Cubs protested, but to no avail.
The Cubs won the first two games at Wrigley easily, and it was only a matter of winning one of three in SD and the Cubs would have their long-awaited rematch versus the Detroit Tigers in the 1984 World Series.
So the Cubs (naturally) lost all three games in San Diego, including the final one on Sunday afternoon--with Cy Young winner Sutcliffe (who had won 16 out of 17 games during the regular season and the first game of the NLCS)-- pitching on normal four-days rest.
This was game where Leon Durham made an error on a ground ball where he supposedly couldn't open his glove because it was sticky after MVP Sandberg had accidentally spilled Gatorade on it in the dugout.
BEST 1990's CUBBERY

This is very vague-
I think it was a double header against the Pirates in 2004-05 in Pittsburgh.
Cubs blew a twilight doulbe header to Pirates with Hawkins blowing both games(?). I know he blew one definitely with a walkoff homerun to Oak Lawn' s own Rob Macoviach.
Cubs were a good team, and Pittsburgh was very bad team.

I just got sick just looking at the box score...
Favorite example of
Favorite example of Cubbery:
It seemed like no one could score. I remember someone calling it "offensive constipation". It was one of those games that the Cub's should have won, but the lineup hacked at absofuckinglutely everything. It left me wondering how the Cub's were any better than the Expos.
This game Scoreless game
Scoreless game against the Cardinals in the 9th. Runners on 1st and 3rd, one out. Ground ball to first.
Billy Williams throws the ball home to get the man trying to score. The runner is in a rundown. Catcher throws the ball to third as the runner starts to go back toward third base.
Runner promptly reverses direction and scores across an uncovered home plate.
Cubs lose 1 - 0.
How in the world did that
How in the world did that 2004 cubs team not make the playoffs? Look at that lineup and compare with the current version.
AZ PHIL: "This was the game
AZ PHIL: "This was the game where Cubs CF Don Young (who was playing ONLY because of his defense) dropped a fly ball..."
DAMN YOU! You beat me to it! And, we're dinosaurs to remember!
CUBBERY: When, even after a questionable fan interference call, a shortstop bobbles a potentially inning-ending DP, wherein eight runs from the opponent crosses the plate in the same inning.
Don Young = Angel Pagan,
Don Young = Angel Pagan, slowed down?
There are so many best
There are so many best moments of 60's/70's Cubbery, I'll just add the following:
- Leo Durocher missing a home game during the '69 pennant race to be with his girlfriend at a vacation home in Michigan (and didn't tell anybody);
- the Cubs losing a crucial night game to the hated Mets on a blown call at home plate in NYC (that was the game with the black cat thrown onto the field);
- George Mitterwald, your starting catcher;
- Pitcher Paul Reuschel, the fatter and untalented version of his brother Rick;
- Jose Cardenal, who had a problem getting his eyelids unstuck after spending a sleepless night in his hotel room during ST with a bunch of crickets;
- Bill North, Burt Hooten, Ken Holtzman and Bill Madlock all getting traded away and starring for other teams in the playoffs;
- the Cubs lose to the Phillies at Wrigley, 22 - 21 - losing the game in the 9th on a Mike Schmidt home run.
My God, Dusty Baylor, how do
My God, Dusty Baylor, how do you remember that?
cubbery...what about the
cubbery...what about the game, I think in '95, when Randy Meyers gave up a home run late in a game and a fan ran up to take him on and Randy took him down. That's cubbery - when the whole nation gets a chance to see how spectacular we can embarass ourselves! :)
Or the Farns shenanigans with fans (literal).
Something that sticks out in
Something that sticks out in my mind is in 1999, where we had a 3 game span where we gave up 54 runs (75 in 5 games)

July 1 L 19-12
July 2 L 41-1

And who could forget the 14 game losing streak to start the 1997 season to setting the NL record?

July 2 L 41-1
Don't scare me like that... For a second I thought I couldn't be a real Cub fan if I didn't remember a forty-one run clubbing.
Scoring 10 runs on opening
Scoring 10 runs on opening day of 1965 and only coming out of it with a tie.
1969 - Giving up home runs on successive days to super light hitting Met infielder Al Weis (the games were in mid July and they were his first and second homers of the season) as the Cubs dropped two of three to the Mets at Wrigley Field.

For as long as I can remember - the Cubs, no matter the lineup, being shut down by almost any pitcher they have never faced.

Jacos, Hawkins was involved
Hawkins was involved in that Pirates game he gave the game tier in the nigt cap to Mackovwiak. The best example of Cubbery in that season had to be the game in September at Wrigley v. Reds that Prior struck out like 12-15 reds and gives up 3 hits and we lose 2-1 in extras because Dusty pitched to Valentin when Stoney said he should have walked him that caused the Broadcaster's War of 2004.

*This was game where Leon Durham made an error on a ground ball where he supposedly couldn't open his glove because it was sticky after MVP Sandberg had accidentally spilled Gatorade on it in the dugout.*
I've never quite bought that excuse. Gatorade has never seemed "sticky" to me.
Anyway, the best example of 90s Cubbery was that shit team that lost like, 13 games to open the season and effectively doom it in the first two weeks. Fookin' classic.
Yep, I'd agree about the
Yep, I'd agree about the 1984 NLCS - while game 5 was heartbreaking, I tend to remember Game 4, when Steve Garvey ran around the bases with his arm up in the air. As I watched from my uncle's trailer, I felt like chucking his quart of Old Mil out the window.
2004 - losing to absolutely shitty teams down the stretch didn't help. I vaguely remember one of the last Saturday's of the season and blowing a game to the Mets (?), who were God-awful at the time.
Cubbery indeed.
My first Cubs game in 1959,
My first Cubs game in 1959, against the Milwaukee Braves. I don't remember any particularly bone-headed plays, but Warren Spahn was pitching; even at the age of seven, I could see that the Cubs didn't have a prayer - it was like watching a cat toy with a mouse. It hasn't gotten any better since then.
AZ Phil, I recall that Jerome Holtzman suggested playing the first two games in Chicago in 1984. The television contract required at least three night games. If that compromise hadn't been found, then the league would have moved the Cubs' home games to the nearest National League ballpark with lights, which in those days was St Louis. In retrospect, I don't see how that could have been a worse disaster than what actually occurred, but we didn't see it that way at the time. I will hate Steve Garvey till the day I die.
"Cubs score 22 runs and
"Cubs score 22 runs and lose."
Uh, yeah - I already posted that game.
Gatorade has never seemed
Gatorade has never seemed "sticky" to me.
Gatorade is definitely sticky - not sure that I buy the argument, but Gatorade is sticky.
CT_Steve-- I don't know, I
I don't know, I think this is sort of cathartic. Maybe, after venting about 40 years of disappointing moments, we'll have exhausted much of the bad energy, and send fewer vibes of fear and dread to Dempster with a one-run lead and a man on in the ninth.
As for a term for great Cubbie moments: Incubceivable, Cubtastic, Cubtivating?
Incubceivable... ha!
I remember the 89 playoffs
I remember the 89 playoffs when it was like a hitting war between Grace and Will Clark, but Clark always seemed to get the better in the end. Without question though for me, the worst moment ever as a Cub fan was the Bartman game. Every Cubs fan I've ever talked to about this game just KNEW the Cubs were finished when Bartman caught that ball. As improbable as it seemed at the time, we just had a "feeling" that we were doomed. I remember the Durham play also....pretty close.
July 28, 2002. My
July 28, 2002. My grandmother had just gone into hospice. Up 9-4 going into the bottom of the ninth and lose on an Edgar Renteria (hate him too) three run home run. I got up out of my parents house and took a long walk. The only time I have ever done that and haven't since either.

J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

In 1884 the Northern Pacific Railroad opted to bypass the original site of Yakima. So, the townspeople used horses and rollers to move a hundred buildings to the new railroad station. Yakima is still a robust and creative place. Discover hiking explorations, fine wineries, and experiences that offer a little of both.
Like the Rattlesnake Hills wine trail, for instance - green rolling hills dotted with over two dozen Yakima Valley wineries. Then, head just west of Yakima to the streams, sage fields, flower meadows, and canyon bluffs of Cowiche Canyon Conservancy. Follow hand painted signs on the Cowiche trails for "the winery." They lead to the Wilridge Estate Vineyard, where you can picnic on the lawn with a crisp melange blanc. 50 miles further west takes you to the White Pass Ski Area with groomed trails for all levels - and beautiful hiking when the snow melts.
Find wine country, along with live acoustic guitar on Friday nights, right in downtown Yakima at the Kana Winery tasting room. Is craft beer more your style? Enjoy pale ale on the outdoor patio of Bale Breaker Brewing Company, while you look out over the surrounding Cascade hops farm. Wake early for a warm cinnamon beehive from Essencia Artisan Bakery & Chocolaterie. Top off your day with the great coffee culture at North Town Coffeehouse.

Called "stylish…refreshing…genuinely wise" by The New York Times Book Review, Diane Johnson's Le Divorce has delighted readers since its publication in 1997.
This delightful comedy of manners and morals, money, marriage, and murder follows smart, sexy, and impeccably dressed American Isabel Walker as she lands in Paris to visit her stepsister Roxy, a poet whose marriage to an aristocratic French painter has assured her a coveted place in Parisian society…until her husband leaves her for the wife of an American lawyer. Could "le divorce" be far behind? Can irrepressible Isabel keep her perspective (and her love life) intact as cultures and human passions collide? "Social comedy at its best" (Los Angeles Times Book Review), Le Divorce is Diane Johnson at her most scintillating and sublime.

It appears the dust has not yet settled after the state Board of Education's sudden - and unexpected - 5-2 decision to fire state school Superintendent Jorea Marple late last week.
We don't think many outside of the state board saw this coming, especially not a stunned Marple or the two dissenting members, Priscilla Haden and Jenny Phillips, who resigned their posts in protest. Despite the secrecy, it appears at least a few outsiders - including one local education leader - had a glimpse at the playbook for this blindside.
Caught up in the drama is our own James Phares, superintendent of Randolph County schools. He has been named by state Board of Education President Wade Linger as a top candidate to replace Marple.
In fact, Phares indicated in a recent interview with The Inter-Mountain that he planned to tender his resignation at Monday's Randolph County board meeting in response to being approached about the vacancy. Further, it is a potential job opening he admitted had been discussed with him prior to Thursday's vote by the state board.
The manner in which Marple was terminated - and questions about who knew what when - drew speculation and some criticism from across West Virginia. Perhaps that is why the state board and Phares are backpaddling from the murky waters created by the aggressive timeline that had been set forth for naming Marple's replacement.
Linger shifted the focus of tomorrow's special meeting from Phares to the board responding to the state's Office of Education Performance Audits. For his part, instead of resigning Monday, Phares offered the following statement:
"The state board wants to focus on the audit response at the Nov. 21 (Wednesday) meeting. As such, they have posted a special meeting to take place next week to revisit the hiring of a new state superintendent of schools. I believe it would be more appropriate for our Randolph County Board of Education to wait on direction from the state board before taking next steps. I remain humbled that I am even being considered for the position of state superintendent of schools."
Phares has stated publicly that he will accept the state position if it is offered. We stand behind his record of leadership here in the county and believe he would be an excellent choice for the position. What we know - that many in West Virginia may not - is the state board placed the Randolph County school system on non-approval status in 2008. This was the result of wide-sweeping deficits in management, hiring practices, finances and the condition of our schools' facilities. This prompted a state of emergency and a threat by the state to take over education in the county if immediate corrective action didn't occur.
Phares was hired as superintendent in 2009 and was the driving force behind the mandated action. He was so successful at righting the ship that the county board renewed his contract in 2010 with a new four-year deal. And it included a special clause: either party could end the arrangement by providing a two-week notice.
Perhaps that was foreshadowing, as it appears Phares' notice is forthcoming. The future of education in Randolph County once again may hang in the balance without him at the helm. Why? Phares has made significant progress here: There was the passage of the levy in November 2010; the improvements made to many schools within the district; and the fulfillment of a promise to demolish the unsafe structure that once had been Elkins High School.
In our neck of the woods, Phares has been a visionary who has produced results and lived up to his word. Now we worry he's someone with his neck stuck out in the crosshairs of a political hunting season that doesn't appear to have ended on Election Day.
We see three injustices here:
No. 1, Marple, though she served the state board at will, had a right to know why she was removed from her position.
No. 2, taxpayers are entitled to that information as well, as the board - by extension -is put in place to represent citizens' best interests.
No. 3, Phares, who under any other circumstances is a qualified candidate, may face unfair opposition and criticism because of how the state board chose to make this change in course.
We must remind these remaining state board members that our children's educational future is at stake here. We don't take that lightly, and neither should they. Nor do we believe people should be dropped like one would an errant class from a schedule.
Everyone involved in this situation - Marple, the children her office represents, our state's citizens and Phares - deserved more. Until key questions are answered, all affected parties will be left wanting.

Old or corrupted graphics driver.
Direct3D improperly installed.
Hardware acceleration disabled.
Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family

The Intel 945 family of integrated video does not natively support this game.
Unsupported video cards (from the FAQ):

Some third-party software developers have developed drivers that attempt to expand the functionality of the 945 chipset. Whether you try these or not is entirely up to you. I do not have a 945 chipset system and have not tried them so I can't endorse them. I merely provide this link as an example of what you might look for.
quickfireme:I now have directx 10 but nothing still works
The old Intel video set chipset is just not compatible with the AOE 3 game. It's incompatibility has been noted in the FAQ for over five years now.
The third-part workaround driver allows these laptops to play some video games but you just won't be able to play Age of Empires.
Perhaps it's time for a new computer. Before purchasing one look game websites for specifications to see if the system you are interested in will play the games you want.

Matt Slocum/Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA � Navy can hook an anchor to the Commander-in-Chief�s Trophy and bring it back to Annapolis, Md.
Keenan Reynolds extended Navy�s dominance against Army, scoring the winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter in a 17-13 victory in the 113th rivalry game Saturday.
Navy (8-4) beat Army for the 11th consecutive time and won the Commander-in-Chief�s Trophy awarded to the team with the best record in games among the three service academies. Army and Navy each beat Air Force, putting the prestigious trophy up for grabs in the regular-season finale for the first time since 2005.
�It means everything,� Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. �That�s our No. 1 goal, to get the Commander-in-Chief�s Trophy. I�m just so happy for these guys.�
Army (2-10) hasn�t hoisted the CIC trophy since 1996.
The Black Knights came close, but Navy recovered a late fumble, and Reynolds� 8-yard rushing score made it 17-13.
In front of 69,607 fans and Vice President Joe Biden at Lincoln Financial Field, Navy caught a break when Army missed a late field goal attempt.
Reynolds quickly found Brandon Turner down the sideline for a 49-yard gain. Reynolds then escaped a rush and followed with the 8-yard touchdown run with 4 minutes, 41 seconds left in the game.
Unlike previous games over the last decade, the Black Knights were in this one until the final drive. Army had driven to the 14 when fullback Larry Dixon fumbled on a sloppy exchange. Navy recovered, and the Midshipmen went wild and rushed the field.
The CIC trophy was coming back to the Naval Academy for a record 13th time after a two-year stint at Air Force. Before Navy started its 11-game winning streak � the longest one in a series started in 1890 � the previous high only was five games for either team.
The Midshipmen gathered at midfield and celebrated with their trophy.
This one was the toughest victory yet during the streak.
Late in the third, Army�s James Kelly stripped the ball, and linebacker Alex Meier recovered to give the Black Knights the ball at Navy�s 37. Eric Osteen kicked a 21-yard field goal 10 plays later for a 13-10 lead.
Osteen, however, was wide left on a 37-yard attempt with 6:57 left in the game.
Navy made them pay on Reynolds� score. The Midshipmen now lead the series 57-49-7.
�It�s hard to do,� Niumatalolo said. �It�s hard to beat anybody in a rivalry game, but to do it that long just speaks volumes about the guys in the white jerseys.�
Navy pretty much has dominated the Black Knights, winning games in 2007 and 2008 by a combined 74-3 score.
Navy�s 27-21 win last season was the tightest margin since the winning streak started. Last year was just a start at nudging closer toward ending the winning streak.
After a scoreless first quarter, Army and Navy swapped rushing touchdowns in the second: Navy fullback Noah Copeland scored from 12 yards out; Trent Steelman matched him with an 11-yarder for his program-tying (Carlton Jones, 2004) 17th touchdown run of the season.
Nick Sloan put Navy up 10-7 with a 31-yard field goal.
Then came the ugly � yet so sweet � kick for Army that sent the game into halftime tied at 10. Navy twice tried to freeze Osteen with consecutive timeouts. They didn�t work.
Osteen�s 41-yarder as time expired had the cadets rocking the Linc and put a potential upset firmly in sight for Army.
Instead, it was just the latest loss for Army.
�I feel like we deserved that game in every way possible, but it just didn�t happen,� Steelman said. �We were wearing them down, and there was nothing that was going to stop us. But that�s life.�

Man Convicted For North Korea (Re)Tweets, but No Prison
In a courtroom collision between South Korea's decades-old law aimed at preventing North Korean propaganda from spreading in the country and the smartphone-era, short burst messaging called Twitter, a South Korean re-tweeter of North Korean dogma came out about as good as he could hope.
A district court in the Seoul suburb of Suwon on Wednesday found Park Jeong-geun guilty of violating the National Security Law, which prohibits any glorification of North Korea, for re-tweeting dozens of statements from a Twitter account that is said to be operated by the North Korean regime.
Mr. Park, who is 24 years old, had told the court he spread the messages as a way of lampooning North Korea.
Under the law, Mr. Park could have received seven years in prison. A judge instead gave him a suspended 10-month term, meaning he won't serve time behind bars. The court cited Mr. Park's statement during trial that he wouldn't retweet any more North Korean messages.
Mr. Park told local news reporters after the court session that he was "content in general" with the ruling.
"There is something left to be desired in the court ruling that (my act was) intended to benefit the enemy though," he added. "The National Security Law should be revised as quickly as possible."
The case is one of several over the past few years in which Twitter comments have tested the limits of South Korean laws covering political expression, defamation as well as the security law covering North Korean propaganda. In August, a South Korean army officer received a suspended jail term for insulting President Lee Myung-bak on Twitter.
Even before the rising use of Twitter, South Korea wrestled with conflicts between its highly-networked citizens, who enjoy some of the fastest Internet speeds and wireless services in the world, and a cultural tradition that values respect via age-based hierarchies.
Several years ago, following a spate of suicides attributed in part to criticism leveled anonymously online, the South Korean government imposed rules requiring people to use their real names when they post messages online.
In August, the Constitutional Court ruled that law was unconstitutional. But just a few days earlier, the Supreme Court had recommended new penalties for people who spread false information online and via Twitter about politicians during a campaign.

The Real Housewives of New York City star filed for divorce this week from her husband of 22 years, PEOPLE has confirmed.
This follows reports that she had caught him with his girlfriend at the couple's Hamptons home last weekend.
Ramona has not publicly confirmed that she and Mario are separating, and on Wednesday called the situation "a personal and private matter for our family" and asked for "privacy during this difficult time."
But a source told PEOPLE this week that Ramona called the police on Mario after catching him last weekend. And former Housewife Jill Zarin told PEOPLE: "Ramona has been protecting him. She looked the other way when people told her he was cheating."
Season 6 of The Real Housewives of New York City premieres March 11 on Bravo.

Eddie Saddler
Eddie's Story
Eddie and Pearlie Saddler were, as wife Pearlie puts it, "enjoying a regular life" in their small South Carolina town. When they weren't working, the Saddlers were volunteering and attending services at their church. "We were always going, going, especially Eddie," Pearlie says. "He was always busy. He'd work all week and then go help people on the weekends." It was during one of these weekends when Eddie's sore throat began.
"I didn't think anything of it," Eddie says. But on Monday when his boss told him he didn't look well, Eddie went to see his doctor. From his doctor, Eddie was sent to a throat specialist. "I left the office of the throat specialist and went straight to the hospital," Eddie says. "I never even went home."
The Diagnosis
It was acute myeloid leukemia. "It just seemed to happen overnight," Pearlie says. After Eddie's diagnosis, both he and Pearlie knew they needed to make the tough decision of where to go for treatment.
Traveling to MD Anderson
Eddie's local oncologist recommended MD Anderson. Pearlie worked at a medical center, so she knew the right people to ask. "The success rate was awesome, to me," she says. "I never knew of anyone that didn't come back well from going there." Although Eddie's family wanted him close by, Pearlie wanted him to live. "We're going to MD Anderson," she told Eddie.
Treatment from MD Anderson
When Eddie arrived, he was very weak. Patients with fragile immune systems need to be placed in a sterilized environment. Eddie's doctor, Hagop Kantarjian, says, "While a patient undergoes treatment, their white blood cell count decreases. When this count is low, patients like Eddie are more at risk of developing infection." Fortunately for Eddie, MD Anderson is one of just a few hospitals that offer such an environment. "I was just in awe of how they did things," Pearlie says.
With all the unique options Dr. Kantarjian and Eddie's other doctors had at their disposal, they were able to customize a treatment specific to Eddie and his type of leukemia.
Caregiver Support at MD Anderson
In May 1994, Pearlie Saddler got to take Eddie home to South Carolina. Pearlie says, "I was thrilled. And because of the caregiver support group, I knew everything I needed to know to take care of him, period."
Life Now
The Saddlers didn't give much thought to cancer before Eddie's leukemia. Today, you can find them participating in fundraisers through their church and community to help raise money for people who need to travel to MD Anderson for cancer care. Pearlie says, "The hospitality and the care they gave Eddie and I both – I thank God for it every day."

"It's a big subject, and it is something we deal with every day," Winfree said. "Medication costs have escalated. That's for sure."
Meanwhile, Gary Hughes is struggling with rising cost of health care in general. As a small business owner, Hughes began offering health insurance last month for his 12 employees at Hughes Electrical Contracting for the first time since starting his business seven years ago.
"It is hard to afford," Hughes said. "We've had to turn up the volume of work we are doing to offer that."
Another side to the health care crisis in America is the unisured and working poor. Virginia Casada, a Medicaid supervisor with the Department of Social Services in Franklin, witnesses first-hand the struggles of the poor and middle class in paying their health care bills.
For working families, the threshold to qualify for Medicaid is low that a single mom making minimum wage does not even qualify. She'd be better of not working so she could get assistance. Adults with no children are not eligible for Medicaid — period. Imagine someone in a low-wage job without benefits who is diagnosed with diabetes. They couldn't possibly afford their insulin.
"Lots of times there is nothing we can do to help somebody in that situation," Casada said. "Those people fall through the cracks."
Solutions to the web of health care problems in America — rising drug costs, health insurance burdens on employers and the plight of the uninsured — aren't impossible.
Winfree said Congress could have passed a better prescription drug plan. The one put in place did little to help matters. Instead people are generally unhappy and frustrated with it, Winfree said.
To ease the burden of providing health insurance for small businesses, Hughes recommends better tax incentives for those who are willing to step up to the plate.
And to help the working poor, Medicaid formulas could be improved by simply raising the federally recognized poverty level, which is used to calcuate who's eligible and who's not. Raise the poverty level, and more people will qualify for assistance.
The spiraling cost of health care and prescription drugs hasn't exactly snuck up on America. Although it's been discussed in Washington for years, little has been done.
The issue is resonating with voters this fall, according to David Mills, executive director for the Common Sense Foundation in Raleigh.
"Poll results we've seen shown that people are generally very dissatisfied with Congress. When asked why, the Iraq war is high on the list but health care is right up there," Mills said. "It is getting far too expensive for people to get basic health care. I would say it is one of the most important issues to people in North Carolina."
The Bush Administration's attempt to tackle drug costs for seniors was botched by most accounts and has not panned out as a useful talking point for Republican candidates to tout. It was not only confusing, but didn't really save most seniors any money, according to Mills. There were dozens of plans to choose from, each of them covering some drugs but not others, making it difficult to find a plan that covered all the drugs a person takes or might need to take in the future. Plus there's the infamous donut hole — a gap in coverage where seniors have to pay extraordinary amounts out of pocket before their plan will pick up the tab.
James Andrews, the North Carolina president of the American Federation of Labor, was in Asheville this week criticizing the record of U.S. Rep Charles Taylor, R-Brevard, on health care and other issues he called important to working families.
Andrews said health insurance is increasingly becoming a top issue in labor contract negotiations.
"There is no doubt that health care costs is a major cost for employers," Andrews said. "Employers are trying to drop that cost. They are either doing away with it or dumping it on employees."
Andrews said inaction by Taylor and others in Congress is ruining the nation's middle class.
"The uninsured in this state continue to climb," Andrews said.
Three years ago, health care costs were blamed in part for a workforce reduction of 100 employees at Blue Ridge Paper Products in Canton.
"Health care is serious. We've got to do something about it," Darrell Douglas, vice president of human resources at Blue Ridge, said at the time.

Paint can lighten over time. This occurs on surfaces with sunny southern exposures.
What Causes It?Fading or poor color retention can also be a result of chalking of the coating. One cause of fading is the use of an interior grade of paint or lower-quality paint.
This can lead to a rapid degradation (chalking) of the paint film. Some paint colors are particularly vulnerable to UV radiation (most notably, certain bright reds, blues, and yellows).
Fading will also occur when tinting a white paint not intended for tinting, or overtinting a light or medium paint base.
How to Solve ItWhen fading or poor color retention is a result of chalking,it is necessary to remove as much of the chalk as possible. When you repaint the surface, be sure to use a quality exterior house paint in colors recommended for exterior use.

With the weather idyllic, the river valley resplendent with autumn, and the better fish in the river finally making a showing, it was a fine weekend to be on the water.
It really seems that the bigger fish in the river got into a low light or no light feeding pattern towards the end of this season and are just starting to break out of it. We got on the river at sun up this weekend and finally found some decent fish, but when the ridges no longer shaded the banks and mid-river lies, those fish went deep and the majority of fish in the latter part of the day were the same ones we've been finding for weeks.
There were few bugs on the water this weekend prompting the occasional rise, so for the most part the game was all subsurface with the same types of patterns bringing fish as weeks past. The fishing should continue to improve as the weather changes.
The river is about as good as it can get for the wading angler right now, which makes it tough to get the boats through. There were maybe a half dozen guys on foot on the whole of the Middle this weekend, so there is plenty of elbow room for anyone wanting to get a little fall fishing in on the river.
Most of the better fish we found this weekend ate sculpin patterns or the big, buggy attractor nymphs dropped behind them. Dead drifted nymphs accounted for a few fish, but why do that when fish are on the chase?
Next weekend marks the close of the season for us as we turn our attention to other pursuits.
So until next time,
have fun out there and enjoy the river.

What a surprise to have someone forward an article about my father, Tony Werner, that appeared on the Tomahawk Leader Message Board. Tony Werner had three children -- Frank (Kip) Werner, Jolly Werner Michel, and Robin Werner. Kip, being the oldest would be the best source of information. Since I'm not sure how to respond via your message board, I'm hoping you are able to put us in touch with the person requesting more information about our father who passed away in 1998.
