BROOKSVILLE — Hernando provided some clarity to a topsy-turvy Class 6A, District 6 on Friday night.
The defending champion used two touchdowns from do-it-all athlete Tyrail Hawkins and two late stops by one of the North Suncoast's stingiest defenses to cap off senior night with a 14-10 home victory over Sunlake.
"We did what we needed to do," first-year coach Dwayne Mobley said.
And it the Leopards (4-3, 4-0) extended their district win streak to 16 games, heading into next week's homecoming battle with undefeated Springstead.
It wasn't easy.
Hernando scored first on an opening 85-yard drive, thanks to two 30-plus-yard rushes by quarterback Ra'shaad Hart, who finished with a team-high 155 yards. That set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Hawkins.
Sunlake (4-2, 2-2) answered immediately. Standout senior Eddie Burgos ran 67 yards in three plays against a defense that allowed only 35 rushing yards last week. Burgos capped it off with a 7-yard rush — his ninth of the season — to tie the game. Burgos finished with 113 yards to secure his fourth 100-yard game of the season against a defense that has only allowed 23 points in four district games.
The Seahawks' defense and special teams controlled Hernando for the next two quarters. After a bad snap on a punt, Sunlake took over at the Leopard 24 and came away with a 37-yard field goal by Connor Gilboy to go ahead 10-7. Hernando fumbled twice in those quarters, failed on a fourth-down attempt and gained only three first downs.
The Leopards picked up a break of their own when Troy Hambrick blocked a 22-yard field goal in the third quarter. And the offense kept pounding the ball with Hawkins, waiting for a big play to burst.
"With Tyrail, you don't know when it's going to happen," said Mobley, who was inducted into his alma mater's athletic hall of fame at halftime. "It's liable to happen at any time."
It finally happened in the fourth quarter.
Hawkins took a pitch 40 yards for a first down on the first play of the fourth quarter. Five plays later, he picked up a key block from Robert Hill Bronson and danced 17 yards into the end zone for the go-ahead score with 8:58 left.
"Eventually it'll pop," said Hawkins, who finished with 70 rushing yards and 46 receiving yards.
Sunlake had two more key chances to steal the win and avenge last year's 22-7 loss that relegated the Seahawks to the No. 2 spot in the district.
Another high snap on a Hernando punt let Sunlake take over at the Leopard 28. Hawkins broke up two passes but was called for defensive pass interference on the third.
But his teammates bailed out the Division I recruit on the next play. Junior linebacker KD Hagood tipped a Josh Zifer pass to junior linebacker Jeremiah Jackson, who picked it off inside his own 5.
"All I saw was the ball," Jackson said. "I knew this had to be a play I had to make for us to win the game."
Hernando went three-and-out on the next drive, giving Sunlake one final shot from the Leopard 47.
"I'm not gonna lie," Hawkins said. "My heart was starting to beat fast, though. But I wasn't too worried about it."
The Seahawks picked up a defensive pass interference, but Hart intercepted Zifer's Hail Mary into the end zone.

| gabelou1991 chapter 1 . 3/25/2016
Wouah j'aime bien et non je trouve que cette fic pourrait être canon car on ne sait pas comment reelement gohan a pris le choc de la mort de son père.
| LILFOC chapter 1 . 11/21/2013
wow this was just amazing!
I find it so appropriate that at the end it was piccolo who came to him, he probably understand what gohan is talking about the best other than maybe Vegeta
good representation of the human race
| tomorrow4eva chapter 1 . 5/9/2013
Yeah, Gohan definitely has a darker side. Probably all that repressed trauma. I disagree that feeding your sharks is the best way to control them, but I think its really goif that Gohan is acknowledging them and accepting them as part of himself.
| Guest chapter 1 . 8/1/2012
The last sentences...holy...so intense...yet so true!
| vegeta's chew-toy chapter 1 . 1/31/2011
Wow, just wow. This was a very powerful insight to Gohan's character and thoughts. Before this I haven't come across any fics that delve into Gohan's... " dark side" accurately. Heh, or something. This is an amazing story.
| the grey mage chapter 1 . 5/31/2010
oh snap.
| Riverterra chapter 1 . 5/10/2010
I can see gohan as this kid, I like its unlikely and they would never show it in the show, but I can see this. I think the biggest thing that I didn't like about GT was how they made Gohan this meek little doctor (I think he was a doctor, it been awhile) everyone has a darkside we don't show, if anything I agree that it probably can from gohan's human half. This is a beautiful story.
| Arisu Tsuranu chapter 1 . 1/18/2010
. .
That was THE most INTENSE Gohan-fics I have EVER read. I got chills, shivers down my spine, goosebumps (which is saying something since I'm right next to a heater) and my heart was beating fast.
Gohan was indeed angry...he was indeed savage...oh my god...I'm still in amazement. How you wrote this story, how you portrayed Gohan...I love it...I feel sorry for Allen and extreme anger at Dale and those other bastards, I'm shocked speechless. This story was amazing and powerful.
You, my fellow writer, are one HELL of a writer. You get the details down so perfectly, your way of wording and writing sucks me deeper into the story. I see everything like a movie and I'm just AWED. Gohan's dark side is never really truly seen in most fanfics, it's always the emo or happy-go-lucky one, and I'm terrified of this side of Gohan, he's INTENSE.
I agree with Gohan (in actuality YOU when I think about it) about everyone having a shark inside us, feed it and it won't attack. I'm just speechless, I'm left sitting in shock, tearing up and terrified, awed and grinning all at the same time. This is the first time I've felt this way while reading a story. You are one talented writer.
One word left me as I finished this story: WOW...
Bravo, sir, just BRAVO.
| Vivionne chapter 1 . 12/19/2008
I'm really suprised that I haven't found this fanfic earlier and I really do regret it. Even though you thought that Gohan was OOC in your eyes, I really didn't think he wasn't. It's probably because we haven't seen much of Gohan during his early teen years (or his dark side for that matter)during and after the cell saga. But then there's fanfiction to turn to see more of it. Apparently there isn't many of those stories that are really enjoyable. There are a few that do but yours is the best I've read. It's been a while since reading a fic and then constantly thinking about it after finishing it (I read it last night). I love how you compare a person's dark side to sharks.. as well as the characterizations of the OCs plus the interaction with Gohan and Piccolo in the end. I have to look into some of Dean Koontz's books when I have the time. You really do have a talent for writing. )
| Evolved chapter 1 . 7/18/2007
Jesus Christ...!
| Tain Shari chapter 1 . 1/20/2007
Very, very interesting.
| CerberAsta chapter 1 . 6/13/2006
...no words can describe this. You explained everything perfectly... the philosophy behind it was true to the point of horrifying...
| dragonfire onna chapter 1 . 6/20/2005
That was awesome... I never would have thought that Gohan would be one to kill an animal, but you made it believable. This was well-written. I wish you would continue writing DBZ fics, but I realize that people outgrow things. Hopefully you still write as a hobby though because you've got talent.
| Dot Warner chapter 1 . 4/9/2005
Wooh. Powerful stuff.
Gohan's dark side is an aspect that's very seldom dealt with in fanfic, and even rarer is it done in a way that's this believable.
| Author-sama chapter 1 . 9/14/2004
Gee...very vivid...powerful...I probably should've looked at the rating before I read this...

New Lawsuit Filed Against Casey Anthony
ABC Digital
Updated at
(ORLANDO, Fla.) — Casey Anthony can't stay out of trouble, even when she's in seclusion. The 25-year-old Orlando, Fla., woman is being sued by the man who found her two-year-old daughter's body in 2008.
Former meter reader Roy Kronk alleges that Anthony defense's team suggested that he had something to do with Caylee Anthony's disappearance and death during the sensational trial earlier in the year in which Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murder.
Kronk's complaint states that defense attorney Jose Baez and his team implied he was, "a killer, a child snatcher and morally bankrupt" and that Kronk placed the remains of Anthony's daughter where they would be found.
However, Baez's contention that Caylee accidentally drowned in the family pool proves that all the allegations made against Kronk were false, the complaint says.
Casey Anthony already faces two other lawsuits in Florida, one by a woman who says Caylee was taken by a nanny who shares her name and the other by a nonprofit group that wants to be reimbursed for expenses in the search for Caylee.

I am addicted to cherries. When summer rolls around, I can't resist the ruby red juicy bits of goodness. I am fully aware I have a problem. Even so, with all my cherry consumption, there aren't many posts that include the fruit. There was some Cherry Basil Frozen Yogurt and Cherry Pepper Salsa Recipe, but that's really it.
Why? My mouth. The bags of cherries that make it home don't actually last long enough to land in any kind of recipe. Consumption. It's a bit ridiculous, I realize. So, I am a little surprised this slaw made it on time for the Whole Foods Market® Cherry Fest Kid-Friendly Recipe Contest for Food Bloggers, a contest posted on the Whole Story blog last week. Whole Foods is "challenging food and family bloggers to show how you whip up summer treats for kids using delicious, nutrient-dense cherries."
A cherry recipe contest. How fun! Cherries just make me smile. They are one of the foods that alert me summer has arrived and triggers happy memories from when I was a kid. Growing up, cherries weren't in the neatly packed bags stores offer now. Back then, cherries were displayed in bins. It was my job to stand in front of the cherry bin and choose one pound worth of blemish free, ruby red Bing cherries. [Confession alert] It was not unusual for me to be shifty and sneak a sample or two while bagging (admittedly swallowing the pits so I wouldn't get caught). Then, the position (and same shiftiness) extended to home on the weekends my father brought a case of cherries from the Haymarket Square farmer's market in Boston. Truth be told, I couldn't get enough of cherries then, and I can't get enough now. It's never gonna end. And, I am okay with that, as there are worst addictions. Right? The funny thing is, to this day, every time I feel full, I think the fullness may just be that cherry tree my mom said was growing in my tummy from swallowing all the pits. Thanks for that, ma!
Until I was an adult, cherries were always a snack or dessert. Naturally, when I began thinking about what to make, my attentions went immediately to desserts. The result? Delicious gluten free pop tarts.
Then, I read the contest rules. Oops. Leave it to the educator to act first, read directions later. While they were great for kids, my over anxiousness caused the pop tarts to have to wait to be posted later this week.
In place of the tarts, I decided to play with a recipe I have made up for years. Usually made with dried fruit, this slaw is a wonderful dish to bring to picnics, barbeques, neighborhood block parties, and even packs up beautifully in a lunch box. Since it doesn't contain dairy, the risk for spoiling is lower, as is the fat content found in other slaws. In fact, in addition to being super tasty, this salad is extremely healthy. Cherries high levels of antioxidants, beta carotene, vitamins and fiber and cabbage's low-glycemic and cancer fighting elements, make this salad a homerun. It will become your go-to side.
Cherry Slaw Salad
½ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup sugar
3 Tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
1 12-ounce bag of cabbage or broccoli slaw
1 cup chopped cherries
1 cup diced Gala apple (or any sweet apple will do) – peeled or not, its according to your preference
In a small saucepan, heat vinegar and sugar mixture over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool (while preparing the salad). Once cooled, whisk in oil.
In a large bowl, combine the slaw, cherries and apples. Add dressing and toss to combine.. Chill until ready to serve. Serves 4-6.
Cook Notes:
- Gala Apples brown quickly, so I suggest cutting the apples right before you're ready to add in the dressing.
- Chilling is an important step; it allows the salad to absorb the dressing and its flavors.
- Dried fruit works well, if fresh is not available. Cherries, cranberries, raisins…all delish.
- The cherry pitter I use, and love, is Westmark.

Q: I took my rabbit to the veterinarian as she has been having blood in her urine; I see it in her litter box. My rabbit is female and almost 5 years old. The veterinarian said she thought she felt lumps in my rabbit, and it was most likely urinal cancer. She said that X-rays could confirm the diagnosis, but they are really expensive. She also said that she could spay her and then they could remove the cancer if it hasn't spread. Because she believes my rabbit has cancer, the cost of the surgery is higher. I live in Canada and it normally costs $300 to spay a rabbit; the veterinarian wants to charge $700 for this surgery. I decided to book a spay appointment with another veterinarian, and I didn't tell them that my rabbit has blood in her urine, so they are just charging $300. They are rabbit experts like the other veterinarian was. My rabbit is so happy and very friendly, and I'm not sure if I should even spay her. Today, I noticed she has even larger amounts of blood in her litter, so I don't know if that means that her cancer spread. I don't know if I should spay her or if it's too risky for her at this point.
A: It can be a very big, even fatal, mistake not to let the other veterinarian know about the blood in your rabbit's urine. The first veterinarian you saw gave you great advice. It is likely uterine (not urinal) cancer. This is very common in rabbits that are not spayed. It is thought that over 50 percent of female rabbits will get this cancer if they are not spayed.
The good thing about uterine cancer in rabbits is that it takes a very long time to spread; even though you may be seeing more blood, there is no way to know if this means the disease has spread. If the disease has not spread, then spaying your rabbit is a 100 percent cure. It is one of the few cancers we can actually cure. If your rabbit has this disease and you don't spay her, then this disease has a 100 percent death rate. This disease will kill your rabbit.
Other diseases can cause similar amounts of blood in the urine. These would be diseases such as uterine infection and uterine aneurysm. And it may even be possible the blood is coming from the bladder, which would be a sign of bladder disease.
The increased cost for spaying a rabbit with uterine disease versus a normal rabbit is for a number of reasons. The rabbit with uterine disease is sick and will need extra monitors, possibly a different anesthesia protocol because of an abnormal metabolic profile. The rabbit with disease may also need extra fluid support, because the rabbit is losing a large amount of fluid in the blood. It may take more than one surgeon or another anesthetist to properly care for this rabbit during surgery because it is so sick. Also, it is always recommended to biopsy any diseased tissue, so the extra cost might represent a biopsy cost.
Another important factor is that if the tumor has spread, it is not recommended that surgery be performed; once the cancer has spread, there is no cure. Taking a debilitated patient to surgery when there is no hope for a cure is considered unethical.
If you do not let the veterinarian know about the blood and prior diagnosis, you could be putting your rabbit through an unnecessary surgery with associated discomfort and pain. And even if you don't tell the newer veterinarian about the diagnosis and signs, it will be obvious once your rabbit goes to surgery and you may be getting a call during surgery telling you what they found and that there will be additional costs involved with a diseased patient. So you may not be escaping the extra charges at all.
These are not easy decisions and your rabbit's best chance of surviving is to have the surgery performed as soon as possible and give full disclosure to your veterinarians about the health history of your rabbit.

Oligarchs and the Russian government: fight against corruption or the private business?
Many scholars have interpreted the Russian government's attack on the private oil companies, as in the most famous Yukos Crisis, as a legitimate battle against corruption. However, in the transition economies, the state can abuse its power by acting like a monopoly and not letting any competitive firms to operate. It can easily do so, by disguising its aim of retaining its monopoly power as a "fight with corruption". In this paper we build a game between the state firm (government) and the private firm (oligarchs), where the oligarchs can be of "strong" or "weak" type. Oligarchs use the amount of bribe to signal their type, and try to influence the government's decision of whether confiscating the private firm by accusing it of being corrupt, versus letting her operate and collecting bribe.

Don't forget, we'll be webcasting the installation mass for Bishop Vann, the new Bishop of the Diocese of Orange.
You can watch this mass on our Orange County page.
From the announcement
Bishop Kevin Vann (pronounced like the 'moving van') has been appointed by Pope Benedict XVI as the fourth Bishop of the Diocese of Orange. At the same time, the Holy Father has accepted the retirement of Bishop Tod Brown, who at age 75, was required by Church law to submit his letter of resignation.
Bishop Vann was born on May 10, 1951 in Springfield, Illinois, one of seven children. He was ordained a priest in 1981 for the Diocese of Springfield, and served there for many years as associate pastor, seminary professor, and pastor of a number of parishes. He earned a Doctorate in Church law in 1986 from Rome. In 2005, he was named the coadjutor (next in line) Bishop of Fort Worth, Texas, to succeed Bishop Joseph Delaney. (Interestingly enough, Bishop Delaney died the day before Bishop Vann was to be ordained and so, immediately following his ordination as Bishop, Bishop Vann took over as diocesan Bishop of Fort Worth). Bishop Vann's mother died a few months ago; his father, age 86, still lives in the family home in Springfield, Illinois.
Bishop Vann is the 4th Bishop of the Diocese of Orange. His predecessors are Bishop William R. Johnson (1976-1986) who founded our parish; Bishop Norman McFarland (1987-1998) who dedicated our church; and Bishop Brown (1998-2012).

It's simple, and free.
From the time its territory was claimed for Spain in 1492 through 1850, little development of any kind occurred in the Dominican Republic. During this entire period, the country was either exploited for the economic benefit of a few hundred individuals, or it was used as a pawn in the great power politics of European nations.
Subsequent to 1850, the Dominican Republic remained a politically independent state through 1889, with the exception of another Spanish occupation from 1861 through 1863. By 1890, the Dominican Republic was significantly in debt to foreign financial interestsprimarily North American. American economic intervention in the Dominican Republic had begun, "when individual commercial interests acquired land to participate in the sugar industry, the mainstay of the economy" (Wheaton, 1984b, p. 420).
The combination of financial problems (resulting from nondevelopment, a growing population, and fiscal mismanagement), and domestic political turbulence created a "state near anarchy" by 1899 (Fagg, 1965, p. 152). In 1900, "foreign interests, particularly the U. S., moved in to . . . control the economy" (Wheaton, 1984b, p. 420). As a part of this external control, President Theodore Roosevelt devised the socalled "Roosevelt Corollary" to the "Monroe Doctrine," "by which the United States sought to prevent" the development of conditions "in the Caribbean that might provoke intervention" by European powers (Fagg, p. 152). Among the more significant of the actions imposed under the policy prior to 1916 were (1) an American takeover of the customshouses in the Dominican Republic in 1905, in an arrangement whereby the United States retained 55.0 percent of the collections for the servicing of the Dominican Republic's international debts (Fagg, p. 153), (2) the imposition of the United States dollar as the national currency of the Dominican Republic in 1905, and 3) the establishment of the United St...

JACK WHITEHALL got himself into an unjustified spot of bother last week, but
to stop himself spouting off he has poured all his booze down the sink.
Even though he thinks he will crumble by the 15th, the comic has committed to
a dry January, which he kicked off in spectacular fashion.
Jack joked on my XFM show yesterday: "I am having a dry January.
"I watched that film Flight with DENZEL WASHINGTON where he plays
an alcoholic pilot, and there's this bit at the beginning where he pours his
alcohol down the sink and shouts at his ex-wife — well, I did that to my
"I didn't have a problem before or anything, I just drank recreationally, but
made it like I had a real problem and started pouring it away and throwing
tinnies round the room and kicking stuff."
The plughole is no place for expensive claret or the champagne Bizarre gave
him for winning the Comedian Of The Year gong.
However Jack replied: "Don't worry, they were all corked anyway."
With boozers out of bounds, at least he can get cracking with his golf.
Jack said: "I got a golf driver from my parents, as that's what I asked for,
because I started trying to play golf. I'm not very good.
"I'm all over Bizarre's golf day though."
Jack is also looking forward to some decent telly and film coming up this
He said: "JAMES CORDEN has his new show, The Wrong Man, coming
out, which he's filming now, so I'm looking forward to that. Series two of
Girls, that'll be great, I really enjoyed the first.
"A Good Day To Die Hard looks good, although I'm not sure about the baddie (PATRICK
STEWART) — you need an ALAN RICKMAN."
Apart from staying sober and improving his golf swing, Jack has only made one
proper New Year's resolution.
He said: "It's to come to terms and accept that JAMIE OLIVER's
15-minute meals do not take 15 minutes to make.
"I have to accept that I'm not a professional chef, I am just a humble man,
and it will take me an hour."
Jamie's 60-minute meals hasn't quite got the same ring.

Many people agreed that the trade sending Rudy Gay from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Toronto Raptors on January 31 would not benefit the Raptors. They were buying low on a high-priced, high-usage, inefficient wing that would make them good enough to be average, but never great or bad enough to build through the draft. They traded their way into the place no NBA team wants to be, and they lost a talented young big in Ed Davis and Jose Calderon's expiring contract to do it.
So, after five games, what are the early returns on the Rudy Gay trade? The Raptors are 3-2 over the stretch with Gay averaging 23.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists. Basically the only statistic that has drastically changed for Gay since Memphis is he's attempting five more shots per game, while still shooting only 41 percent.
The highlight of Gay's time in Toronto occurred Friday night in Indiana against the rolling Pacers. After getting a clutch steal to help Toronto tie the game at the end of regulation, Gay was the focus of the Raptors' final possession in overtime. Tied 98-98, Gay took Paul George one-on-one off the dribble and pulled up for a difficult, game-winning 15-foot jumper to snap Indiana's 15-game home winning streak. It was classic Gay and reminded everyone for a moment that, "Oh yeah. This guy is good."
But then you looked at the box score and saw his line: an incredibly inefficient 9-for-25 from the floor for 23 points and only two assists. This line followed an 8-for-24 (1-for-7 from three) performance for 25 points and three assists Wednesday night against Boston. In Gay's 42 games with Memphis this season, he shot more than 22 shots only once. In his first five games in Toronto, he's done it three times. He's taken hold of the Raptors' offense and its effects show in the performance of his slightly stagnated teammates.
Since Gay's arrival, the Raptors have totaled fewer than 20 assists in three of five games. Prior to his arrival, they had only done it 10 times. Of course this, like basically every stat I'm citing, is based on small sample sizes and for assists in particular, Jose Calderon had a lot to do with the high numbers. But there's definitely correlation between Rudy Gay taking a lot of shots and the team assist numbers going down. So far in Toronto, 22 percent of his shots have been in isolation, 20 percent in spot-up and 13 percent as the pick-and-roll ballhandler, according to Synergy Sports. These are all low-assist, low-movement, low-efficiency plays that can kill the fluidity of an offense. When Gay gets the ball, he's keeping it and attempting to create on his own. Plays should end with Gay, not begin and end with him.
On defense, Gay's limitations are showing as the Raptors are giving up 6.6 more points per 100 possessions when he's on the floor, according to 82games.com. He won't have the same defensive help that he did in Memphis so his flaws on that end will become more apparent. He has the quickness, length and smarts to play defense. He just needs to make a commitment to do it.
In his first five games in Toronto, Rudy Gay made his presence felt on the Raptors, but not necessarily in the most positive way. In order for Toronto to be more successful, Gay needs to become one part of the offense. Not the only part. This is definitely possible and it will take time for him to find his best role on this roster. But as it's currently constructed, he's proving the early doubters of the trade knew what they were talking about. He's still inefficient, he's still high-usage and this team is still only average.
How do you think Rudy Gay has played since coming to Toronto?

Five candidates are seeking the Ward 2 City Council seat now held by Jim Connole. That means a nonpartisan primary vote will take place May 7, with the top two vote getters advancing to the Nov. 8 general election. But those holding the three citywide offices, including Mayor Dennis Clough, will run unopposed in November.
The filing deadline for Westlake municipal candidates was Friday.
After considering a pursuit of the council presidency, Connole decided not to seek that or re-election to his Ward 2 seat. Westlake Board of Education member Nate Cross and former Bay Village Finance Director Steve Presley would appear to be the frontrunners in the race for the open seat. Cross, who voted against placing the $84 million bond measure to fund new school buildings on the ballot, is employed as the executive director of the Northern Ohio Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Now the finance director in Pepper Pike, Presley currently serves as chairman of Westlake's Civil Service Commission.
Also seeking the Ward 2 seat are Brian Thompson, an attorney and certified public accountant; Nick Nunnari, the assistant service manager at John Lance Ford; and Marie Novak, a member of the Westlake Council of PTAs.
Presley, Thompson and Nunnari applied when Connole announced his intention to resign in November 2010. Connole later changed his mind and stayed on.
Another longtime councilman not seeking re-election is Ward 1's Ed Hack. Shamus Cusick and Lynda Appel, a member of the Westlake Councl of PTAs, have filed to run for Hack's seat. Tim Sullivan, a former Westlake school board member, filed petitions to run for the Ward 1 seat but withdrew three weeks later, according to Cuyahoga County Board of Election documents.
In Ward 6, Robert Koenig is again challenging incumbent Mark Getsay. In 2009, Getsay defeated Koenig, 63 to 37 percent.
Incumbent Councilmen Dennis Sullivan, of Ward 3, Michael O'Donnell, of Ward 4, and Ken Brady, of Ward 5, are all running unopposed for re-election.
Westlake's three citywide offices had no candidates file beside the incumbents. That means Law Director John Wheeler faces no opposition in his run for a third term. City Council President Mike Killeen, the legislative body's senior member, will also run unopposed. And Clough is without opposition in pursuit of his eighth term as mayor.
"Obviously I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to serve the people of Westlake for an additional four years," Clough told West Life.
"I look forward to American Greetings moving in and in resolving the water issue," the mayor said, referring to a planned switch of water suppliers from the city of Cleveland's Division of Water to Avon Lake Municipal Utilities. Clough said he wants to continue offering residents quality services and maintain the city's strong financial position.
Also on May 7, Westlake voters will decide on a 5.9-mill operating levy for the Westlake City Schools. And Westlake Porter Public Library is asking voters to renew a 2.8-mill levy.
The deadline to register to vote in the May 7 primary is April 8. Absentee voting by mail begins April 2.

Charley Rosen of FOXSports.com: "For the game, Bryant's 38 points came on 16-of-24 shooting overall. Even more impressive, however, was Kobe's making 14-of-20 shots longer than 15 feet — some of them being nothing less than miracle-makes. And he came out of the chute with fire in his eyes — hitting his first five shots and scoring LA's first eleven points. Kobe's stellar performance was partly a function of his brilliant talents only because the lethal sharpness of his competitive edge is always his primary motivation. In fact, the only member of the Lakers family whose will to win matches Kobe's is Phil Jackson — as evidenced in this particular game by the way in which PJ got into Odom's face for some slack play late in the fourth quarter despite the Lakers overwhelming lead. In sum, a great team beat a good team — and will again on Monday in L.A. One reason why the Lakers qualify in the former category is because they have a dynamic go-to scorer. BUT the one overwhelming reason why the Jazz are merely good — despite the considerable skills of Williams and the lefty-leaning forcefulness of Boozer — is that they lack a super-duper-star like D-Wade, LBJ, or better yet, Kobe Bryant."
Tony Jones of The Salt Lake Tribune: "'We played harder,' Lakers guard Derek Fisher said. 'It's that simple. The defense was much better tonight than it was on Thursday. We did a better job of limiting them to one shot, and we did a much better job controlling their points in the paint.' That defensive effort showed up in two key junctures — one being the 20-2 run that turned things around in the second quarter and the other the 16 points the Lakers held the Jazz to in the third period. There were no easy looks for Utah. The pick-and-roll offense, so effective in Game 3, was almost non-existent on Saturday. Every shot was contested and the Jazz got almost no easy buckets in transition. 'They pulled one of our tricks on us this game,' Utah guard Ronnie Brewer said. 'They stretched out the pick and roll, and they forced Deron [Williams], to the baseline and that had an effect on us. They also did a good job of taking the cross-court pass away, and that limited our open looks.'"
John DeShazier of The Times-Picayune: "The Hornets would've sunk against Denver on Saturday if Posey hadn't been around to keep them afloat, likely would've left the New Orleans Arena court with something a lot less pleasing than a 95-93 victory that pulled them to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series if the hardened veteran hadn't injected some poise, cool and shot-making. 'We had a rough start,' Posey said. 'Rough' barely grazes the surface of the totality of New Orleans' early awfulness. With 4:35 left in the first quarter, the Hornets, who virtually had guaranteed they'd play better in Game 3 than in Games 1 and 2 because they'd be playing at home, trailed the Nuggets 22-6 and looked as if they had never before set foot in the Arena. Tyson Chandler and David West each had two fouls, and New Orleans had as many turnovers (three) as field goals. But the first thing Posey did after subbing in for West was make a couple of foul shots with 3:57 left. And less than a minute after that, he hit a 3-pointer. He added another 3-pointer with 2:14 left, and when the horn sounded, the Hornets had closed the quarter on a 15-4 run, with Posey scoring 10 points in the final 4:35."
Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post: "None of the Nuggets believes the team needs to make major fixes. Anthony pointed to the hustle categories, such as offensive rebounding and getting after loose balls, which the Nuggets did well Saturday. 'We're fine,' guard Chauncey Billups said. 'We're up 2-1 and have an opportunity to try and steal one here on Monday night. We're going to put everything we have into trying to do that.' Coach George Karl has praised his team all season as being one that doesn't let failure linger. The Nuggets have shown the ability to forget about tough losses. Forward Kenyon Martin said there's no reason to think the Nuggets won't do that again Monday night. 'I don't expect anything less from this team but to come out and compete better than we did today,' Martin said. 'We just (have to) come out, put everything on the line.' The Nuggets haven't lost consecutive games in more than a month, since a three-game skid March 6-9. Since then, the Nuggets have been nearly untouchable."
Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "This was about more than Wade again tattooing all defensive comers in a 29-point, eight-assist, seven-rebound performance. It was about more than O'Neal dominating in the post to a degree far greater than his 22 points and 10 rebounds would indicate. It was about knowing that Atlanta has to win on this court at least once to advance, and knowing the Hawks have now lost their last five playoff road games by 130 total points, with Game 4 back on this court Monday at 8 p.m. 'The bottom line,' Hawks coach Mike Woodson said, 'is they're outworking us.' That hunger was typified when Wade refused to take his normal rest at the start of the fourth quarter, even with the Heat up 14."
Sekou Smith of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "If the Hawks can't come up with a better plan for slowing down Wade, it'll be a painful end to what was once a promising season. The NBA scoring champ led the Heat with 29 points, eight assists and four blocks, and also had seven rebounds. 'If we don't find a way to slow him and the Heat down, we're going to keep getting our heads busted like this,' Hawks forward Josh Smith said. 'We're up against it now. And we've got to look at ourselves in the mirror and realize that we can't get out of this mess without doing it together.' While the Hawks have looked like a fragile bunch coming apart under the pressure of the playoff glare, the Heat is playing inspired basketball. They collected a franchise-record 12 blocks, sending the message early that, whatever the Hawks thought might be easy after their Games 1 blowout of the Heat, was not to be."
David Moore of The Dallas Morning News: "Think back to the first-round loss to Golden State two years ago. The more former coach Avery Johnson raved about Baron Davis, the more he talked about his will to win and how true stars put teams on their back, the bigger indictment it was of Nowitzki. There is no need to point fingers at Nowitzki in this series because the Mavericks have a 3-1 lead. The players have picked up the offensive slack. They've got his back after he's had theirs for so many years. Don't look now, but a team is coming together before our eyes. 'Guys are selling out for one another,' forward Josh Howard said. 'It's about us, these guys in the locker room. We put everything aside and are just going out there to play.' It's not just offense. The Mavericks won for the first time all season Saturday when shooting less than 40 percent from the field. Who made a key defensive play late by taking a charge? Nowitzki."
Buck Harvey of the San Antonio Express-News: "Bonner has stretched defenses, as Horry once did, and Bonner has been statistically better than Horry ever was. Bonner finished the regular season shooting 44 percent from 3-point range. Horry was never higher than 38 percent in San Antonio, and last season he dipped to 25. Still, it was never about how many Horry made. It was about when. His Game 5 in Detroit will forever be legend in San Antonio, but he changed first-round series, too. He did in 2007, in Denver, in both the third and fourth games. That's often overlooked in this era. As dynastic as the Spurs have been, their success could have been derailed by one play in April. No one mourned Horry's loss this season, especially as Roger Mason Jr. hit big shots in the regular season. Besides, if there's anyone the Spurs have missed, it's been Manu Ginobili. Then came Saturday. As Parker and Duncan filled up the box score, they were missing more than Ginobili. They were missing the other 10 guys in uniform."
Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press: "In the playoffs, teams are expected to bring at least one player to an interview room to answer questions. Friday night, Rip Hamilton drew the short straw. Of course he didn't want to be there. That was apparent. But let me tell you: He was fabulous. When somebody asked about finally being on the short side of a lopsided playoff series, he said, "This is killing me, I'm not gonna lie." And then, when asked about at least showing heart Friday night, he said this: Oh, how I would love to hear those words from Rasheed Wallace. After Game 2 in Cleveland, Wallace snarled at the media for approaching him — "I don't know why y'all are hanging around my locker for" — and sat there, in his game shorts and no shirt, sending what I assume were extremely important text messages. He should do better this time. Let's see the Rasheed that his teammates like, instead of the one fans dislike."
Brian Windhorst of The Plain Dealer: "Zydrunas Ilgauskas has a new nickname. During their afternoon film session at a suburban Detroit hotel Saturday, Ilgauskas' teammates roared when the clip of him 'executing' a fast break in Friday's Game 3 victory over the Pistons. On the play, Ilgauskas chased down a loose ball and ran to the other end. Inexplicably when he reached the foul line, Ilgauskas left his feet and apparently started to panic. Luckily for him, LeBron James caught up and saved the day with a basket and foul and Ilgauskas got a rather sheepish assist. And the new moniker. 'We're calling him 'Magic' Ilgauskas,' coach Mike Brown said. 'The clip of him jumping in the air and floating for two-tenths of a second and making the pass to LeBron … my stomach just turned.'"
Jason Quick of The Oregonian: "The frustrating aspect of Aldridge's mind games is that double-teams and defensive schemes to stop him are nothing new. He estimated that he was double-teamed in about half of the Blazers' 82 regular-season games. He says what makes the Rockets different is that Scola is beating him to the spot where Aldridge likes to set up on offense, on the edge of the block, where players line up for free throws. When Scola beats him to that spot, he is able to push Aldridge out on the perimeter, where it becomes easier to trap him with a double-team. On the rare occasions when Aldridge is able to get the deep post position, Scola is fronting him, making it tougher for the Blazers guards to pass him the ball. Through it all, Aldridge is battling his mind. If he had his druthers, he would just play basketball — catch, dribble, shoot. But in two of the three games now, his mind has led to his defeat. The worst part about it is he usually realizes that it's happening."
Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle: "For the Rockets, the challenge is to move the ball quickly and find the open spots. They didn't do this in a Game 2 loss, did it much better in a Game 3 victory. Adelman believes Yao could help himself by not fighting so hard for position. When two guys are shoving each other, refs don't know who to whistle for the foul. He wants less of the grabbing and holding, but in the end, believes Yao could do some strategic things differently. 'He's got to relax and let them do all the work, and then pick his spots and let us try to find him,' Adelman said. 'He's working too hard to try and get position. As a result, he's getting wrapped up and can't move to the ball with his hands free. Even when he goes to the offensive board, they've got a hand locked up. He can't release his hands. I want him to pick his spots where he can go get the ball. That's all he can do at this point.'"
Brian Hanley of the Chicago Sun-Times: "In Game 3, the Celtics continued to block Rose's path to the hoop, derailing the Bulls' draw-and-kick game by having Kendrick Perkins (6-10, 280 pounds) or Glen Davis (6-9, 289) leave their man and help defend Rose when he drives the lane. Rose finished Game 3 with nine points on 4-for-14 field-goal shooting. 'They're doing a good job of it,' Rose said. 'Wherever I drive, [Perkins is] always there, or Davis is there. So it's kind of tough driving to the hole. But I've got to find a way to get to the hole and make plays for other people.' The Bulls don't have the same wide bodies with which to help clog the lane for Rondo, the man Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro called a 'one-man fast break.' Noah is 6-11 but only 232 pounds, and Tyrus Thomas is 6-9, 215. And even if Rondo finds a roadblock, he has found ways to get the ball to teammates. He's averaging 9.7 assists. The Bulls must move the ball better than they did in Game 2, when they had 14 assists and 22 turnovers. 'We're playing 2-on-1 on the weak side,' Del Negro said."
Kate Fagan of the Philadelphia Inquirer: "The difference between the regular season and now is the fluidity of the strategy throughout the game. In the regular season, the defense shown the Magic was the same for an entire game. Let's look at it even further. When Howard catches the ball, back to the basket, he seems to look both ways as if he's crossing a street, checking for the oncoming traffic. But this is about rhythm. The beat of Howard's move is almost audible: One dribble, lean, next dribble, lean, third dribble, bounce, step, up, shot. Give Howard his points – and the Sixers have – just don't give him rhythm. And they haven't. After six or seven possessions with one-on-one defense, the Sixers will release a second defender whose only responsibility is to change Howard's rhythm."
Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel: "The Sixers mostly have defended him superbly by taking away Turkoglu's pet play, trapping the pick-and-roll with a double-team. Turkoglu was stationed at a side basket on Saturday, shooting baskets by himself. It seemingly was one of the few times he has been on a court without a couple of 76ers bird-dogging him. It's as if Turk's seeing double. 'They've done a very good of trapping his pick-and-rolls, which is a big part of his game,' Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy said. 'I think we can create some offense out of that, but we have to do a better job moving the ball. We need to try to get him some opportunities where he's not seeing two guys. Quite honestly, I haven't done a very good job getting him in those situations.'"
Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel: "Magic F Rashard Lewis has been dealing with some personal issues the last month or so of the season. Lewis said his one-year-old daughter, Gianna, is doing well after battling an illness that had stumped doctors and specialists. She was in and out of the hospital after developing high fevers, muscular pain and rashes. Coach Stan Van Gundy said he thought the problems were affecting Lewis' play. Lewis said after Saturday's practice that his younger brother has been stricken with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. 'My daughter's doing well. We got some medicine. It was a virus, but she's doing good,' he said. 'I was going through a lot going through my head at the time. I found out my brother had cancer and then my little girl gets sick. Obviously, family is more important than the game of basketball. But we got through it, and it's time to get back focusing on the game.'"
Marc J. Spears of The Boston Globe: "Jennings is averaging 6.3 points, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.5 rebounds, and is shooting 23.1 percent on 3-pointers through 41 games (16 Euroleague). While his statistics aren't stellar, he is a teenager playing against grown men, and he is improving quickly against competition better than he would face in Division 1 college basketball and getting more time to work on his game. With that in mind, NBA personnel have been taking the long flight to scout the projected top 10 pick. 'A lot of NBA teams are here now,' said Jennings. 'The Warriors were here for a couple of days. The Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors were here. A lot of NBA scouts are starting to come over. Now I really have to finish strong and try to give them just a little taste of what I got. Of course I think I'm ready. The NBA is an open game. It's more one-on-one. It's more free play. Out here, it's not so much free play. If I can get on a team that goes up and down, the sky is the limit.'"
Pete Thamel of The New York Times: "Fran Fraschilla, an ESPN analyst who covers college games and analyzes foreign players in the N.B.A. draft, noted that if Tyler played in the second division in Spain, his competition would be former college stars like Wayne Simien (Kansas), Taylor Coppenrath (Vermont) and Danya Abrams (Boston College). 'He's going to have to be mentally and physically tough,' Fraschilla said. But Fraschilla added that he was certain Tyler was not going to Europe for the money. He said he could easily earn $200,000 in the United States. 'He could pretty much get that money illegally, either via a college or an agent, willing to funnel his family the money,' Fraschilla said. 'I'm hoping this is a savvy move to really improve his game.'"

CONTEST: Help me name my boy! Due Friday :-D
Hi everyone,
I'm due to have my first child on November 16th, and I'm not sure what to name him, so I decided to start a contest! I'd love for the Name Berry community to be a part of this.
My husband and I are Ukrainian and Argentinian, so the name choices can really be all over the map, and it only takes a few seconds to submit an entry.
And the best part: whomever's name choice gets selected will win an awesome piece of art from my new company JuicyCanvas!
Here's the link to participate: http://www.nameourboy.com/

WASHINGTON — Feisty and cagey, ex-President Richard Nixon defended his shredded legacy and shady Watergate-era actions in grand jury testimony that he thought would never come out.
On Thursday, it did.
Offering a rare look into confidential grand jury proceedings, and the first ever to have a former president testifying, the National Archives and its Nixon Presidential Library released a transcript of the testimony after a judge ordered the government to do so.
In it, Nixon, 10 months after he resigned under threat of impeachment, describes the burglary by political operatives at Democratic headquarters as "this silly, incredible Watergate break-in" and claims "I practically blew my stack" when he learned that 18 1/2 minutes of a post-Watergate White House meeting were erased from a tape.
The gap was considered key in determining what Nixon knew about the burglary and what he did to cover up the exploding scandal.
Nixon's main legal risk during 11 hours of questioning near his California home in June 1975 was being caught in a lie. Short of committing perjury, or implicating anyone in his much-diminished cadre of loyalists, he could testify with impunity because a pardon by his successor, Gerald Ford, protected him from prosecution for any past Watergate crimes.
At one confrontational moment, he bristled when pressed for details of a conversation that he said he could not remember. "I don't recall that those specific names were in the discussion," he snapped. "I mean, if you want me to lie about it, I will be glad to."
He added: "Better strike that last."
Nixon indignantly defended his record.
His admission of wrongdoing came with a hefty dose of sarcasm, as when he mentioned the burglars tied to his re-election committee — known as plumbers — and other heavy-handed operations to get dirt on political foes and claw for campaign advantage.
"I want the jury and the special prosecutors to kick the hell out of us for wiretapping and for the plumbers and the rest," he said, "because obviously you may have concluded it is wrong."
Historians successfully sued for access to the records. They expected few revelations, but were determined to bring to light all facets of that extraordinary episode of presidential disgrace.
Historians certainly didn't expect the transcript to solve the mystery of the gap.

On Sunday, HYPEBEAST touched down in the South Korean capital of Seoul in preparation for this week's Seoul Fashion Week festivities. Unsure of what to expect, our limited experience with Seoul's creative community had us excited to see how the week would unravel. Thus far, we've spent the first half of the week meeting (men's runway shows are Friday and Saturday) with various Korean creatives who all come from different walks of the artistic world including artists, photographers, designers, editors, retailers and brand owners.
The creative landscape of Japan has been thoroughly documented and has created countless notable personalities and brands along the way. However, for its regional brethren, the promotion of arts through all platforms and facets – including the major economic powerhouses like China, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea – are still a bit behind the well developed Japanese community. With this in mind, we've always wondered to what degree creative opportunities were stunted by the regional intricacies of a culture and society.
We're sure many will agree, the local Hong Kong and Chinese creative scenes suffer from cultural stigmas that place less respectability into the arts. The perpetuated stereotype of parents wanting doctors, lawyers and engineers is slowly eroding but is something not entirely easy to move away from. For the Chinese, the culture has for so long placed importance on the number of zeroes at the end of the paycheck, we can't help but feel our fellow Korean counterparts are feeling similar effects to the detriment of their creative scene.
There's no way to gain a solid understanding of something as vast as a culture within a week's time. But we're really hoping to unravel some of the barriers preventing a country like South Korea from entering the global art spotlight. HYPEBEAST is interested to know what are some underlying themes that perpetuate themselves and make it difficult for the movers and shakers to gain traction. We have some themes we feel are reoccurring but we'll reserve judgement until we get the chance to soak it all in.
But to end things off, the people we've met have all shown a great compassion for their fellow creative. Despite the ultra competitive world we live in, this hasn't stopped them from helping one another when needed which is a solid foundation for growth. A quick walk through Sinsa and we found despite the commercial vibe of Garosu-gil, there was a strong support for local Korean brands.
Stay tuned for both looks into various menswear designers from Seoul Fashion Week in addition to a series of interviews that will hopefully shed light on the Seoul creative scene. We can't help but feel all the tools are here, there just requires a bit of proper manipulation to present South Korea's fashion, arts and retail to the rest of the world.
