The pastor who gave the sermon telling people (that is, fathers) to punch their sons if they see them "dropping the limp wrist" and to shout at their daughters if they are "too butch" – Sean Harris – is complaining on Twitter that his apology is being spurned. So I looked for and found his "apology." He has a blog – we are colleagues! – and he blogged his apology. Or clarification. It's probably not really an apology since the words "sorry" and "apologize" and "apology" don't appear. The closest thing is "apologetics" in the left margin, and that ain't close enough. Maybe that's why his "apology" is being spurned: it's not one.*
By now you may know that my words, from Sunday morning's sermon, about effeminate behavior in children are being completely taken out of context by those in the LGBT community. (Nearly every article is misquoting me.)
Clearly, I would like to have been more careful with exactly what I said, but sometimes I say things without enough clarity. I trust you understood my intent in the context of my total preaching ministry. If you did not, I would be more than happy to meet with you privately to provide clarity.
Clarity about
Can I make it any clearer? Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist.
Man up. Give him a good punch. Ok? You are not going to act like that. You were made by God to be a male and you're going to be a male.
His voice was savage in that part (and other parts). It's clear. To change the meaning, he would have to withdraw it, not clarify it.
For the record, I want to ensure everyone that I do NOT believe physical force is capable of fixing effeminate behavior or homosexual behavior. Parents should not punch babies or children. (Ultimately only the gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to deliver one from sexual immorality and behavior including effeminacy; )
I would never advocate for such discipline or actions on behalf of a father or mother. I misspoke. Hopefully, you understood that I was speaking in a forceful manner to emphasize the degree to which gender distinctions matter to God; and therefore, must matter to each of us and especially parents.
He spoke in a savagely angry manner, his voice dripping with disgust and rage, to emphasize his own unreasonable prejudices, which he conceitedly assumes are identical with those of "God."
Those in the opposition are suggesting all sorts of hateful things and using ungodly and profane words. Those who speak of the love of God are using the most hateful terms I have ever read. We must never resort to such language.
I want to stress just how much I love your children and my desire is only to see them glorify God in the lives they live in obedience to God's will for each of them as revealed in the Word of God.
Oh no you don't. You don't get to pretend to "love" anyone's children when you spit hatred at any of them who don't fit your ignorant bigoted profile of what is Normal and Allowable.
As I emphasized in this sermon, as well as the week before, we must not be hateful toward those whose behavior is an abomination to God. But we also cannot compromise on what we believe the Bible teaches on all sexual perversions and immorality.
The opposition is revealing their complete lack of toleration toward those do not approve of the LGBT lifestyle or agenda. However, we must be tolerantly intolerant. Jesus our Savior provides the perfect example of grace and truth.
The usual passive aggressive bullshit. We are loving and kind, they are mean and intolerant, so when we talk mean intolerant smack, it isn't that, because we are good and they are not, and we wish they were all burning in hell right this second.
*Update and correction: He did do a retraction, and there is some apologizing in it. It's pretty worthless, because he still calls people he dislikes sinners and still insists that "God" hates all that stuff, including "effeminacy" (how tf does he know?), but it's there.

Study offers hope for patients with rare diseases
Posted March 3, 2016
Many people get sick with a disease that can be diagnosed by the symptoms or with simple tests but with rare diseases, patients often spend years seeking the right diagnosis and treatment.
Eight-year-old Isaac Locklear's mom, Teresa, who homeschools him, said he has always performed better with one-on-one attention to help him learn.
"He was five weeks premature, and he just wasn't meeting his milestones," Teresa Locklear said.
Isaac Locklear had speech delays, gross motor delays, and he was growing faster than most other kids his age.
The challenges led the Locklears on a long journey from California to North Carolina to see if doctors could find a name for his problem, a treatment, or even information about what the family can expect.
"I'm always happy to get an answer because I'd rather know something than not know something," Teresa Locklear said.
It's possible that Isaac Locklear has a condition listed among 7,000 rare diseases, which are defined as occurring in fewer than 1 in 2,000 people.
Seven clinical sites, including one at Duke Hospital, are now part of a study funded by the National Institutes of Health.
There is an undiagnosed diseases website where individuals or families can apply to benefit from the combined expertise of different centers.
"A lot of what the undiagnosed diseases program can provide is hope, the best hope that they can have for a diagnosis," said Duke pediatrician Dr. Loren Del Mar Pena.
Families only need a letter from a referring physician to qualify.
"Then we review the records very closely to see if the patient would be a good fit for the program and if we may be able to help them," said Duke certified genetic counselor Kelly Schooch.
Patients who are candidates for the program may undergo extensive genetic testing to rule out- or rule in- a potential diagnosis. The information obtained is shared with the other six clinical sites.
"They're accessing expertise throughout the United States," said Del Mar Pena.
Genetic testing has led to a clue for the Locklears -- a genetic variance in Isaac Locklear's blood sample. There's not yet a name they can attach to it.
"It's given them something that they can now go and research more," said Teresa Locklear.

A New Liahona
When I read that starting in January 2010 we would have a new Liahona, I was nostalgic. The magazine has been my anchor in the gospel since I was baptized at age 17. My tender testimony was strengthened as I read the experiences of other members and knew that I was not alone. I treasure the magazines I have collected, for they contain inspired messages that have helped me in times of tribulation and need.
Now you have delivered to us a Liahona that is more mature and more diverse, but just as true as the first one I read in 1992. Thank you from the depths of my heart.
Julia A. Florian, Guatemala
A Source of Spirituality and Strength
The Liahona is a great blessing and a joy to me. It helps me meet members all over the world, learn about their countries and culture, and benefit from their faith. The magazine is a source of much spirituality and strength, and it helps me to be better.

Velpatasvir/Sofosbuvir Makes HCV Treatment Simpler, Especially For Genotypes 2 and 3
One of the ways ID and hepatology hepatitis C experts like to show off is by discoursing on the nuances of cleverly named clinical trials, and how these impact treatment guidelines. It usually goes something like this: "In the EP-CILEON [I made that up] study of [insert HCV regimen here], treatment-experienced patients with genotype [insert non-genotype 1 patients here, […]

Approval of TAF/FTC/RPV, Another Single Pill HIV Treatment Option
The approval last week of TAF/FTC/RPV — that's coformulated tenofovir alafenamide, emtricitabine, and rilpivirine — brings us another one-pill, once-daily option for HIV treatment. It's essentially the same as the existing TDF/FTC/RPV, with similar pros/cons, but with three notable differences coming with the substitution of TAF for TDF. Specifically: Likely reduced renal and bone toxicity. Since approval was based on bioequivalnce, this hasn't […]

Mobile City is a city in Rockwall County, Texas, United States on the outskirts of Rockwall. The population was 196 at the 2000 census. It currently has the highest population density for any city in Texas, and is the only Texas city that is on the highest population densities of American cities list. It currently ranks 74th on the list, and has the lowest population for any city on that list. It is tied with Poplar Hills, Kentucky as the smallest city by total area on the list.
Mobile City consists of a mobile home park, liquor store, and convenience store.
Originally a mobile home park outside of city limits, it was incorporated on January 25, 1990 so that a beer/wine/liquor store could open. It is still that way today. After opening the stores the roads through the park were paved for the first time and full-time security was provided to the residents at no charge to them. Until Fall of 2007 it was the only city within Rockwall County that allowed alcohol sales (excluding restaurants).

Electrical Questions? Ask an Electrician Online.
Room air conditioners are regulated by section 440 of the NEC. I'm referencing it now.
It appears the length of the cord is what is in question here.
For a 120 volt unit, the cord can be up to 10 feet long. For a 208 or 240 volt unit, the cord can be up to 6 feet long.
Not approved than?
At 3.5 feet above the floor, I would think the cord would reach. But it really depends on placement of the nearest outlet. That question is a bit obscure, almost like they don't give you enough info to answer it.
The answers it gave me to choose from were, Only if it has a PSC motor, Only if wired direct, not approved and approved. The code I found 511.7 talks about fixed electrical equipment. Nothing about cords, which makes sense now when I think of it, but I have to have a code to go with my answer. Looking at this book, literally spend hours on each question based on how it's worded :/
Wow, I can see where that would be pretty frustrating. With the little info they have in that question, I wouldn't know what to go on.
Let me look it over again, and check your options for answers.
It's possible they are assuming it would be fed with 3 phase power, since it's a commercial installation. In that case, it must be wired direct.
Thank you!
It's looking more and more like that's what they're getting at.
Having the list of possible answers does give me a little more to go on.
One more...whew!
Are you feeling pretty good about this answer then?
Going over the code that I have for it. your answer gives me something to work with.
That was in 440. I can get more specific if you need me to.
After a day of answering 24 questions, it all becomes a blur 14 hours later.
Yikes, I remember those days, back in my apprenticeship. Not sure I ever had a day that bad though.
440.60 - 440.65
Not sure how were supposed to answer these questions in 2 minutes each on the HVAC specialty license. ..at least not with the luck I'm having on these questions and right now I'm one of the top two in class lol. Thank you for the code..!
No problem. Happy to help as much as I can. Did you say you have one more question?
Yep, coming up

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking comments on a proposed draft waste tire storage site permit renewal for Reklaim Inc., which operates a tire recycling facility in Boardman, Ore.
Reklaim was first issued a permit by the DEQ to operate a waste storage facility on March, 20, 2008. The permit has expired, but has been administratively extended because DEQ received a timely renewal application.
Reklaim's original permit allowed the company to take in whole tires for processing. The company currently accepts pre-shredded, metal-free, tire crumbs in super sacks. No whole waste tires are being accepted at the present time.
However, as part of its permit renewal request, Reklaim is looking to take in whole tires for processing. Under the proposed permit, Reklaim would continue to have the ability to receive and store whole passenger tires that would be processed under the DEQ solid waste treatment permit into pre-shredded tire crumb that would be converted into carbon black, heating oil, steel and mineral oxides using pyrolysis technology.
The DEQ is inviting public comment on the proposed permitting action. During the comment period the public is invited to make comments related to specific conditions within the proposed permit.
Upon issuance, this permit will be effective for five year, expiring on Jan. 1, 2018.
Currently, DEQ is developing new rules for conversion technology facilities such as Reklaim's tire pyrolysis facility. The new rules will establish new performance standards and solid waste permit requirements for facilities that convert waste into chemicals, fuels, products or energy.
At this time, DEQ is delaying action on the Reklaim, Inc. treatment facility permit renewal application until new rules are developed. However, DEQ is proceeding with renewal of Reklaim's solid waste tire storage site permit.
During its first permit term, Reklaim suspended the shredding operation to focus on establishing a viable pyrolysis (thermal processing) operation for the recovery of carbon black and oil products. Reklaim is currently in phase I of a three-phase building process, each phase resulting in an increase in plant capacity. Tires may be shipped to the facility in 30 foot trailers and would remain in the trailer until they are fed to the reclamation process.
Reklaim's current operating scenario is the purchase of pre-shredded metal-free tire crumb. However, as Reklaim continues to refine and develop its pyrolysis operations, Reklaim says that it intends to begin shredding tires. The shredder uses low-speed knives to shred the waste tires into small pieces. A small amount of water is added to act as a lubricant and heat sink. Adequate shredding capacity will be added in Phase III of construction if it is economically feasible.
Following the shredding, the material is dried in a fluid bed vibratory dryer. The dryer is sized to accommodate all three phases of construction. During Phase I the dryer will be heated by natural gas. By Phase III the dryer will be heated by steam and hot water generated from recovered process heat. The dryer has a baghouse to capture small pieces of fiber and rubber released during shredding and drying. During Phase I and Phase II, the material collected in the baghouse will be disposed of in an approved landfill.
During Phase III the captured material may be returned to the process.
The dried feedstock is conveyed to a weight belt feeder, and then pneumatically sent to the thermal processor. A cyclone at the end of the pneumatic conveying line separates the feedstock from the conveying airstream. The air exits the cyclone through a close-weave filter to capture any remaining particles.
All submittals to the Department under this section must be sent to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Manager, Solid Waste Program, 400 E. Scenic Drive, Suite 307, The Dalles, Ore., 97058.

"Will you be my bridesmaid?"
For some women, these are among the most frightening words in the English language.
The time, the money, the… dress!
Uncomfortable speeches and busy pre-wedding schedules aren't nearly as scary as the thought of giant taffeta bows and dyed-to-match shoes.
But, good news for potential maids and matrons here in West Virginia and elsewhere — the bridesmaid dress has come a long way and there's a good chance that it really can be worn again!
New trends in wedding apparel mean more flexibility for bridesmaids and they are happier for it.
One reason for the move away from tradition is the entry of several women's wear retailers into the bridal market. Bridal boutiques are no longer the only options for brides in terms of gowns or attendant wear. This has been a boon to bridesmaids.
Perhaps the most popular of these lines is J. Crew, whose bridal apparel has become an instant classic.
Ann Taylor has also made a splash with its reasonably priced collection of they-don't-scream-bridesmaid dresses.
Fit is an important thing to notice with some of these popular lines.
Charleston designer and dressmaker Julie Wirts cautions, "The J. Crew dresses are great — women love them. But, with their built in bras and lined skirts, they can be expensive to alter. They work the best when you can get a good fit off-the-rack."
Another way that many modern brides have opted to give their maids more creative control of their wedding wear is by selecting one unifying element, such as color or fabric, and leaving the actual dress up to the girls.
Jennifer Kayrouz of Charleston did just that for her wedding.
"I told my six bridesmaids to wear a chocolate brown dress of their choosing," she said.
"I got married outside in late September. Only two people had to buy a dress. The other four had one already. They were different cuts and length — but looked great."
Designers are also offering wedding separates.
Wirts, owner of The Dressmaker's Closet, is working on a line of tops and skirts for attendants.
Her designs include white blouses, cashmere sweaters, and skirts in a variety of cuts to flatter different body types. The same top that worked with a silk skirt for a wedding in June takes on a whole new look paired with velvet skinny pants for the holidays.
There are so many different options for women in today's bridal parties, but tradition is still strong when it comes to weddings and wedding apparel.
If you're getting ready to proceed down the aisle of a friend's wedding dressed in a traditional bridesmaid's dress, don't fret!
You may be able to repurpose it after the event and wear it out for a night on the town.
Removing spaghetti straps, adding a sash, having a skirt shortened, or adding some edgy accessories are all ways to squeeze extra life out of a lovely, but distinctly ceremonial dress.
If all else fails, Pinterest has some great ideas for quilts and picture frames made out of those dresses that just couldn't be salvaged!

Ad hoc committee to lead the way for campus diversity plan
As UW–Madison looks toward the next decade, a new committee will help the campus community envision a comprehensive plan to address issues of diversity.
The 2013 Ad Hoc Diversity Planning Committee (AHDPC) was formed in response to a charge set out by the University Committee to the Committee on Diversity and Campus Climate (CDCC). Following the charge, presented in November, a charter drafted on December 12 outlined the AHDPC's parameters.
"There are many valuable programs and dedicated individuals working to enhance diversity and support a positive campus climate. This is an opportunity for us to take a critical look at what we are doing, and to focus attention on areas where we can improve our collective efforts," says Provost Paul M. DeLuca Jr. "We're pleased that the ad hoc committee membership reflects many areas of campus life, but we also look forward to the ongoing community dialogues that will help direct our discussions during this critical process."
The AHDPC aims to develop a comprehensive proposal for a new diversity plan for UW–Madison, providing periodic reports to the CDCC, relevant governance bodies and the university's administration throughout the drafting process. The committee intends to present the plan for endorsement by the Faculty Senate, the Academic Staff Assembly and the ASM Council prior to the end of the academic year.
Co-chaired by MBA student Michael Jackson and communicative disorders Professor Ruth Litovsky, the committee includes broad representation from across the campus community. Dozens of individuals were nominated to represent students, classified staff, academic staff and faculty.
In addition, the committee includes seven ex officio members representing key administrative departments at UW–Madison, five ex officio members from the greater Madison community, and a facilitator (to be named by the committee) from UW–Madison's Office of Quality Improvement (OQI).
A complete list of committee members can be found here.

The latest edition of the BZ series targets small commercial environment where slightly larger capacity is required.
The Bezzera BZ16 has the fastest start up time for a 2-litre boiler.
Compare to an E61 heat exchanger system. The required heat up time is drastically reduced to around 15 to 18 minutes instead of 20 to 30.
Double Pressure Gauge
Features an important brew gauge and a steam boiler gauge, useful for identifying any anomalies during brewing and readiness of the machine.
2 Litres Boiler
A full 2 litres size, to ensure better back to back thermal stability.
Temperature control.
It's a heat exchanger heating system and it's designed to run at a slightly higher temperature at initiation.
Followed by a steady reduction of temperature to strike an equilibrium in a standard 25-30 seconds extraction.
This expands and fully blossom all the characters in the coffee. At the same time, release aromatic notes only found in lower temperature and reduce the bitterness of coffee.
Copper boiler.
A safe material with natural anti-microbial properties to continuously kill greater than 99.9% of bacteria that cause hospital-acquired infections, keeping water in the boiler always potable. One of the most conductive metal on earth, making the machine a highly efficient machine in starting up and recovering from lost heat. Will never rust like Stainless Steel, or release lead from Brass, will only oxidise and increase its antimicrobial properties as its age.
The Bezzera BZ line is known to express brighter notes with greater clarity as compared to standard E61 machines.
Drainage and plumbing system.
The Bezzera BZ16 comes with a drainage system pre-installed for continuous discard of waste water. The machine can be plumbed in and don't require topping up of water.
Fresher water.
Being a heat exchanger means that the turnover of water usage is faster, meaning only fresh water will be used for for brewing.
Power saving.
With its fast start up time, it means that coffee can be brewed sooner using less power.
Thermal stability.
Multiple industrial grade controllers, sensors and heating elements are directly placed within the grouphead to ensure the temperature are maintained within the optimal range.
The boiler is larger than the BZ10 and BZ13, so water temperature remains more stable after a large amount of usage.
Faster thermal recovery.
As this is not a thermosiphon system, the drop of temperature in the boiler after extensive use will not drop the temperature at the grouphead. The grouphead's temperature is maintained by individual heating elements. This allows users to repeat shots back to back more rapidly.
Due to the design of the heat exchanger, minimal cool flushing is required.
The design does not hinder the steam power.
Light assist.
The grouphead has LED lights installed so users can see the extraction under low light conditions.
Easy Portafilter Fastening.
All BZ machines are now provided with a new special gasket for the grouphead, which makes it very comfortable and easy to lock the portafilter.
End users will appreciate this new upgrade on the "BZ" range, you feel the machine more professional when you fit the filter holder compare to any other machines.
Users may feel it's not tight, at 7 O'clock lock, but they are sealed.
Improved Grouphead Cleaning
Some users may find it difficult to remove the shower screen from common groupheads like E61 or levers by prying. Damaging the rims of the screen in the process.
The BZ had an improved design and resolved the problem.
BZ Shower screen can remain in pristine condition after removal, saving cost.
The gasket remains in the grouphead after the shower screen is out. The exposed gasket can be cleaned directly without risk of damaging from removal. Saving time and cost.
As there're more than one heating element to share the duty of heating.
The main heating element at the boiler, which is a major component is less likely to be overworked and overheated.
BZ groupheads are designed in a way to be easier and less expensive to repair than an E61 machine.
The Bezzera BZ16 Electronic Version has a dosage panel for programming and auto dosage features.
Bezzera BZ16 is suitable for any small to medium size environment.
It is a heat exchanger system; users can brew and froth milk at the same time.
The difference between the Bezzera BZ16 and the BZ13:
The BZ16 has a larger capacity boiler, so water temperature remains more stable after large usage. In this version, it comes with a rotary pump and can be plumbable. The rotary pump has a higher duty cycle and is more lasting for heavy duty usage.
It is the perfect candidate for small cafes, offices, bistros and restaurants.

Sedalia Daily Democrat
In this city, on yesterday morning at 4 o'clock, Emma, daughter of Mr. Hermann and Mrs. Elizabeth Schmitt, aged 3 years.
The funeral will take place this afternoon, from the residence of her parents, corner of Main and Osage sts. at 3 p.m. to which friends of the family are invited.
Sedalia Daily Democrat
The funeral of Mr. Herman Schmitt's child came off yesterday at 3 p.m. It was attended by many persons in carriages, vehicles, &c. The many friends of this bereaved family deeply sympathized with them in the loss they have sustained, but what can sympathy do in re____ting the hearts' tendrils that have been rudely severed. But the baby is only planted; it shall spring again into an improved life.

By Maureen K.
If you had asked me a year ago if I would like being poor, I would have called you crazy. Both my husband and I had just lost our jobs and we were just coming to the realization that we were no longer going to be able to live the life of luxury that we had been living up until that point. In one fell swoop, we had gone from being able to afford basically anything we wanted to being poor.
I must admit that the first 6 months weren't pretty. There was a lot of resentment and complaining deep inside that came out much too often. It wasn't fair that I couldn't have everything that I wanted or that I had to make sacrifices that I never had to make before. It was a rough period and there was a lot of shouting, accusing and bad attitude as we were adjusting to our new financial circumstances.
But a funny thing happened after that. Once we began to adjust to not having the money we used to have, being poor wasn't nearly as terrible as I had imagined. In fact, there were times that I downright enjoyed it.
I get to spend more time with my family: Since we no longer have the money to pay for entertainment that used to occupy our time, we now entertain ourselves. That entertainment has come by spending more time together.
Life has slowed down: When we had a lot of money, there always seemed to be a rush about everything. We needed to go there, we couldn'tmiss that. The lack of money has made me (and my entire family) a lot more relaxed and easy going.
We have a lot more family projects: When we had money, we were more of a group of individuals that a family unit. We each did what we wanted and often ignored the other members of the family. Now that we are all required to stay home a lot more often than in the past, we have come together and do family projects. We recently repainted my daughter's room together. In the past, we would have hired out this work to others.
We play a lot more games: We do play more games as a family like scrabble and cards, but we also turn a lot of the ways we save money into games. For example, we now have a contest where we see if we can cut the amount we pay on our utility bills each month. If we succeed, 50% of the savings we manage to save is used to go out for a meal, ice-cream or some other treat.
I now know our needs: I thought I knew our needs when we had money, but I had been greatly mistaken. Technology and habit blinded me from reality. The fact is that there is very little that we actually need: shelter, clothing, healthy food and water, a safe neighborhood. A lot of the gadgets and toys that I once thought I would die without turned out to not be necessary at all.
We eat better and together: Meals used to be on the run, usually prepackaged and often eaten outside the house. When we could no longer afford to do this, it was surprising how much better we began to eat. I cook a lot more from scratch and we have a lot more meals as a family unit than we used to.
We waste less: When I look back to when we had money, I am shocked at the amount that we used to waste. I didn't think I was wasteful then, but now that we must use as much as we can, I realise that we were incredibly wasteful.
Life is more fun: I can honestly say that life is a lot more fun that it was when we had more money. There is a lot less stress now that we have learned to live with the amount that we make and knowing that even if we don't have a lot of money, we can still get by.
This is not to say that I hope to always live this way. it can be tough being poor and having to make decisions about how to spend a limited amount of money that I would rather not. However, I do hope that when we are making more money and can afford a lot more than we can today that I can remember the new found attitude that I have and the joys that I may have never found had I never been poor.
Do you have a story about saving money or earning money that you'd like to share? We'd love to hear about it.

BARBERTON -- Warming up prior to Saturday's Div. III Barberton Regional championship volleyball game, Orrville senior Rylee Scott gave an indication of what was to come.
During Orrville's time on the court, Scott hammered a spike that hit OHS assistant coach Shannon Stauffer squarely on the head, dropping her to the ground.
An hour and a half later, Scott and the Red Riders sent Cuyahoga Heights (22-5) reeling, winning in three sets to punch their ticket to this Friday's state tournament at Wright State University's Nutter Center.
"Yeah, that pretty much showed the adrenaline going through my body," said Scott of the pregame conking. "If any of my teammates would have hit a ball like that, it would have fired me up."
Orrville, now 21-7 on the year, won a pair of back-and-forth games in the first two sets, eking out a 25-23 victory in Game 1, then hanging on for a 25-21 victory in Game 2. Those decisions took the starch out of an upstart Redskins team, which folded down the stretch in Game 3 to fall 25-18, with the final point a thunderous spike by who else -- Scott.
"At this point in the season, winning any set is important, but winning those first two really boosted our confidence and hurt theirs," said Orrville coach Sarah Kutschinski. "That absolutely helps."
In Game 1, neither team was able to get on a run. For the most part, it was a one- or two-point game up through 20-20, with the Redskins leading at most of the junctures. But, that's when the smallest player on the court came up big, as Orrville's 5-foot-4 Maggie Davault went up to block Cuyahoga Heights' No. 1 option, Veronica Gehring, and on a 50-50 ball, and stuffed her to give Orrville a lead it wouldn't lose.
"I love those plays," said Davault. "I believe in myself, even though I'm short. Nobody thinks I can do it."
Kutschinski knew the play was a key one.
"It's a big momentum shift when you can stop their best player with defense and blocking," the coach said.
Game 2 was also tied at 20, and again Orrville went up 21-20, but this time it was on a Scott kill. Some Redskins miscues, and another Scott hammer put Orrville up two games to none, and Cuyahoga Heights was never the same after that.
Orrville went ahead 21-12 in Game 3, and although Heights wouldn't go quietly and got the score to 23-17, the Riders got a Scott kill to regain control, and then started their regional celebration with her most emphatic kill of the day.
"I knew it was coming to me," said Scott of the final play. "I was ready for it."
Cuyahoga Heights coach Tom Burton thought he and the Redskins were ready for Scott, too.
"She's a heck of a player. Our plan was to serve aggressively against her, but Orrville did a nice job of controlling the ball," said Burton. "We knew what they were going to do, but we just couldn't control the ball. Kudos to Orrville."
"When Rylee puts that pressure on and they can't stop it, that's a boost for us," said Kutschinski. "She can bring the heat. She played huge at the net."
For the game, Orrville got 23 kills from Scott, and another 10 from freshman Trinniti Hall. Davault was credited with 17 assists, and Hannah Plybon 27, along with 8 service points and six kills. Gehring finished with 17 kills for CH.
Defending against the Redskins' attack was the Orrville back line, where Raegan Renner (18), Kristina Workinger (13), Scott (13) and Noel Hartmann (13) combined for 57 digs.
"I'm just so proud of this group," said Kutschinski. "They deserve it, they earned it. They've pushed hard through adversity.
"It starts with the seniors," she added, "but it doesn't end there."
And neither does the Red Riders' season, as Orrville now advances to the state tournament, where it will open semifinal play vs. Columbus Bishop Ready (beat Coldwater Saturday in 4) on Friday at 6 p.m.

ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
And I'm Michele Norris.
This summer, we'll be launching a series on women and childbirth. We'll bring you stories from China, Egypt, France and, of course, from all over the United States. And we'll be reporting on everything from the latest science to cultural trends, to the many challenges that pregnant women face around the world.
And that's why my co-host Melissa Block has been in Mozambique, in southeastern Africa, for the past two weeks. And she joins me now from Mozambique.
Hello, Melissa.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
Hey, Michele.
NORRIS: Where exactly are you right now?
BLOCK: We are in Nampula province. It's in the northern part of the country. Mozambique is a former Portuguese colony, hugging the Indian Ocean, just north of South Africa. And we came here for the women and childbirth series because it illustrates some of the terribly daunting challenges that women and children face in the Third World.
And think about these numbers, Michele. This is a country where about one in seven children will not reach the age of 5, where the lifetime risk of maternal death for a woman is one in 45. And if you consider that 82 percent of the population here lives on less than $2 a day, I think you start to get a sense of the conditions here and just what those challenges are that these women face.
NORRIS: Steep challenges, indeed. Tell us about some of the stories that you've seen, some of the people that you've met.
BLOCK: Well, let's set the scene, Michele, with a little bit of music that we gathered here.
Unidentified Group: (Singing in foreign language)
BLOCK: Michele, we're listening to a church service this past Sunday, a Zionist Pentecostal service in the village of Meliisse(ph), that's in Gaza province in the south of the country. And there are women in brightly colored skirts coming up and dancing around church members who are coming forward for healing.
Now, the reason that we went to Gaza province is that it has the highest HIV infection rate in Mozambique, and the numbers are really staggering. Thirty percent of the women in Gaza between the ages of 15 and 49 are infected with HIV.
So one of the stories that we've been reporting on is about programs here that are trying to prevent the transmission of HIV between those mothers and their babies using antiretroviral drugs and education. If the drugs are used properly, they say they can reduce the risk of transmission to the baby to virtually zero.
But here's the catch: The drugs are free, but there are frequent shortages in the drug supply. And so instead of getting a one-month supply of pills, maybe a woman gets only a week's worth. And then she needs to go back to the clinic or hospital. And I cannot emphasize enough just how hard that can be, how impossible that can seem in remote areas where these facilities are many, many miles away from the villages. And people have absolutely no means of transportation, except their own two feet.
NORRIS: You mentioned how poor this country is, and Mozambique, more than 80 percent of the population, as you said, living on less than $2 a day. That really does paint a very vivid picture there. That has to also have all kinds of ramifications for the health care system and for women's health in particular.
BLOCK: It does. And there was a huge brain drain in Mozambique when the Portuguese left, after the country won independence in 1975. Factor in on top of that 17 years of a brutal civil war, and the country was really left in tatters.
So we've been looking at some of the ways they're trying to bolster the medical system. For example, this is a country that still has very few doctors, so they've been training nurses to perform emergency obstetrics surgery, things like Cesarean section. So they hope to improve outcomes for women that way. And we've also been visiting a number of programs that are engaging with traditional healers or curandeiros and traditional birth attendants, trying to link them with the existing medical system, encourage them to send women to the hospital when they are in trouble rather than treat them in the villages.
NORRIS: Well, we miss you, and we look forward to your return. And we really look forward to hearing some of these stories. Get back safely, Melissa.
BLOCK: OK, Michele. See you next week.
NORRIS: That's our co-host Melissa Block wrapping up a reporting trip in Mozambique for our upcoming series on women and childbirth. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

A 10-year-old boy has been killed by members of a wedding party in the Indian capital, Delhi, police say.
The child was riding his bicycle in Alipur area when he was hit by a car carrying the guests, reports say.
When the boy demanded compensation from the occupants of the car, he was beaten up, police say. Later, his charred body was found.
Police said the wedding party guests were drunk. Four people have been arrested in connection with the crime.
Angry residents of the area have alleged that the boy, whose name was given only as Sanjeev, was burned alive.
A police spokesman told the BBC Hindi service that a case of murder has been registered against some unidentified people.
"It's not yet clear whether the child was burned alive or whether his body was burned after he was killed. It will be clear after investigation," the spokesman said.

So, this is my SA. . .Tell me if it sounds like yours. I live in a normally secure neighborhood . . .which is secure because the whole community is roughly the same income level and we have a fine Police force. Still, there is no active security of my home, except me.
At the time bad things would happen, normally I'm in bed. I would likely be wearing a shirt and PJ pants or a shirt and undies. Sorry for the visual.
So, here are my HD specs. I need something which I can grab and go with 2 hands and have a gun, light and ~25 rounds of 40 S&W or 45 Auto. The gun should be ambidextrous and usable by anyone in the house who is trained. The gun should be of the universal pick up and shoot type. A 1911 is not the best here as some people in my house will always be less trained. Pull trigger = bang is simple and reenforced on family shooting day. The trouble with DA/SA and thumb safety guns is that they usually are not used in DA or with the safety up during family shooting day type range time. If a shooter has small hands in your castle, find a gun which they can use in a pinch also. Find a gun which at least the primary shooter can deliver VERY fast fire with paper plate accuracy to 10 yards.
So, I use an XD 40. I have a paddle holster, but it really doesn't clip onto undies or pj's well. It has a weapon light and I also keep a spare mag ready to go. Night sights are good too. I have TFO's but ideally would like something smaller that fills the front dovetail. I also have a Glock 21, but it needs to be run through it's paces and the wife and needs to be qualified on it.
Ever let non-shooters plink with your autos? Do they ever jam? This is a pretty good reason to think revolver. Basically, they never jam. . .IME.

Determined not to brighten an opponent's homecoming for the second straight week, the Elk River Elks repelled the Buffalo Bison 35-22 on Friday evening — and set up a huge home game next week.
The Elks (5-1) stampeded for 356 yards, all on the ground, with Moses Saygbe piling up 185 of them, scoring three touchdowns and surging past the 1,000-yard marker.
A week ago, the Elks had a 48-20 lead at Becker's homecoming but got scorched by the Bulldogs air game in the last 15 minutes and shockingly lost 49-48.
"We were pretty upset the whole week," said offensive guard Mitch Beaudry, "but we used it as motivation to work a lot harder and make sure it didn't happen again. We finished it off this time."
At Buffalo's homecoming, the Elks barged to a quick 19-0 lead in the first quarter but got chewed up for a while in the second quarter as the Bison rallied within 19-16.
But the Elks had an answer this time as they drove 60 yards late in the half with Sayge bolting 20, 14 and then the final 15 for the score. Up 27-16 at the break, the Elks maintained control in the second half.
"It was another typical Elk River game — we score a lot, and then they score a lot. We are very entertaining," quipped Elk River coach Steve Hamilton. "I don't know why more people don't come watch wherever we play. But our defense really stepped it up in the second half this time."
The Elks (5-1) will host the Rogers Royals (6-0) next Friday with the league crown on the line. A Rogers victory would clinch an outright championship even with one week remaining, while the Elks can tie for first place with a victory.
"Obviously that is a huge game for the kids and the communities, going against players you've grown up with," said Hamilton. "That should be a game they remember the rest of their lives."
Saygbe, the 6-foot-1, 195-pound senior in his first year carrying the ball for the Elks, carried 24 times for 185 yards (Star News unofficial stats) and now has 1,023 yards. He's the first thousand-yarder for the Elks since 2001.
Dylan Chambers added 68 yards on 15 carries, with a three-yard TD plus three runs for two-point conversions. The Elks also unveiled up-and-coming sophomore Michael Larkin in the second half, as he rolled up 38 yards in five carries.
Saygbe's 35-yard burst up the middle capped the Elks first drive. Buffalo then tried a fake punt on 4th-and-three and the Elks stuffed the run to take over at the Bison 34, leading to a three-yard TD run by Chambers.
Then the magic foot of Austin Larson started and ended a scoring drive. He pooched the kickoff over the Bison up-men and Nate Storby dived on the ball at the Bison 33. The Elks got one first down before sending Larson back out for a 35-yard field goal attempt, into a stiff crosswind from the left hash mark. The 6-foot, 180-pound sophomore drilled it through with 20 yards to spare.
Buffalo showed some homecoming spirit in the second quarter, getting a couple big runs from Colton Haight, who racked up 118 yards in 16 carries.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound senior powered 45 yards to set up Jake Rohlin's 11-yard scoring run, and 27 yards to set up a short TD pass from Jason Stenger to Austin Youngs. The Bison made both two-pointers and trailed by just three.
"Buffalo played hard and we played hard," said Hamilton. "We got up 19-0 and they came back and made a good game of it, but our kids fought back. The kids are still in the learning process, trying to make adjustments."
Saygbe zigzagged for an 11-yard TD run in the third quarter, shedding tacklers on the way, for a 35-22 lead.
Another Elk drive ended at the Bison 10 in the third quarter when quarterback Cory Collins fumbled on a roll-out, and the Bison took to the air to drive 90 yards, capped by Stenger's eight-yard run, early in the fourth quarter.

Professor X and his team of Marvel mutants regularly visit weird locales like the Island of Genosha, the Mojoverse and the local mall. However, while Wolverine and pals do quite a bit of parallel universe traveling, thanks to legal and business complexities in the real world, I wouldn't expect to see either the Blue or Gold Teams crossover into any of these pop culture universes…

One iPad in the classroom: essential toolkit
If you have only one iPad connected to an Apple TV in the classroom (like me), here is a list of 5 apps I use everyday and I found essential for teaching.
It is a great app that helps keep all your notes organised. I have made specific notebooks for each class I teach, or lessons I am working on (grammar, reading, listening etc.). You can then organise them into Notebook Stacks. You can also create shared notebooks to share with students or colleagues, but remember you need the PRO version if you want them to modify the files.
I have Evernote on all my devices, it is easy to use, and it is really versatile. It allows you to attach images, video files, web links, pdf etc to all your notes.
> I often use Skitch connected to Evernote to quickly annotate pictures or notes (e.g. to focus on vocabulary)
> The Evernote Web Clipper app is an extension for your browser, it allows you to "clip" any content from a webpage you are visiting and attach it to your note.
> The latest iOS 7 version has introduced the presentation function, it means you can present content to your class directly from Evernote.
It is a safe place to store all your files. You can get access to it everywhere, it gives you 15 GB for free, and it also allows you to share and collaborate easily on files. You need a Google account to sign up.
It works as an interactive whiteboard, it records drawing and annotations on the screen, you can also record your voice via the iPad microphone. You can create a lesson by uploading all sorts of files (pdf, keynote, powerpoint, word, photos, MP4 video files) from your Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, iPad photo roll, iTunes. You can record and insert a new video while presenting, or simply take a picture that helps you explain something. At the end you can export your project as pdf to share with your class.
I think it is the best app to create presentations. It offers a lot of different layouts. iCloud helps to keep all presentations synchronised on all my devices.
Classroom management
It is the best classroom management app I have used so far. The essential layout helps to have a quick look to the class. TeacherKit allows teachers to keep record of students' behaviour, attendance and performance. All in one place, all with only a few 'taps' on your screen. You can also email students or parents directly from the app, and connect it to your Dropbox account.
Technology: what am I expecting from learners?
This is a short post about what we are expecting students to do with technology. I have been thinking about it quite often in the last few weeks. Starting the school year with the iPad, forgetting blackboard and chalk had an impact on me as a teacher, but it was also a significant change for learners. What are they expecting to learn with technology? Why am I using the latest tech tools and apps for? I found some interesting answers a couple of days ago on this picture shared by EdTechReview (@etr_in) on Twitter.
I think sometimes technology can make teachers and learners confused about objectives, outcomes, tools and aims. It would be worth making a clear list before starting to use tech tools and apps in the classroom.
iPad teaching: the day I should get started
Generally I feel quite comfortable writing about technology in the classroom. Generally, but not today. Today is the day when the iPad comes into my teaching.
The day I come to class, and the blackboard and the chalk are gone. I got an email that says: "Dear teacher you are kindly requested to go to the school information office and collect your iPad".
All of a sudden I'm a mobile learning teacher. "Cool!" It is the first thing I think.
Then I come home with my new iPad, I feel relaxed, I know how to use it, I've got mine, I do it everyday. I turn it on and … stop.
Suddenly, I do not know what to do, a thousand questions in my mind: what is truly mobile learning? In how many ways can a school use tablets? Apple TV in the classroom? Where do I start?
"Ok" I think, "let's google some key words". It 's the time to read posts like The 10 most useful apps in education, Top 20 apps for schools, Mobile learning in ELT etc. On twitter #mlearning becomes my favourite hashtag.
My head is full of information, I begin to feel safe, I go to the app store – "Ok, I got Evernote, Youtube, iThoughts, Skitch, TeacherKit etc. I should be ready now" I think. But ready for what? Is it that simple?
I look at my iPad, I find it hard to admit that I do not know where to start, I'm no longer on my safe side, I'm moving forward, on a new path. I find myself thinking about failure, is this going to be the case when I do not give my students what they're expecting from me?
It 's fascinating how the power and speed of technology could affect our self confidence, I should tell my students.
Then I stop thinking about iPad teaching, it's not the iPad, it's me. It's always about the teacher, no matter the iPad or the chalk. Let's say I'm an empowered teacher now.
I start planning, I can make it.
Using Wordle to teach phrasal verbs (my guest post on itslearning)
I recently had the pleasure to write a guest post for the itslearning website. I shared a few ideas about why teaching phrasal verbs is crucial also for elementary learners and how this can be fun and motivating by using Wordle.
You can read the complete post here.
Learning Styles and Young Learners
I've finally discovered my own learning styles.
It seems like I'm a linguistic-interpersonal learner. I knew that, no surprise! I've always been one of those learners interested and focused on speaking and writing. I love reading aloud activities, love communicating through language. I'm sure I would have loved having role-plays in my English classes, but unfortunately I've never done one in my high-school. Now I feel I can understand what and why was happening in my classes. We mainly worked alone, no group works, always focused on self-study and individual tasks. My teacher was probably a solitary (interpersonal) learner. That is good, but is it correct to plan and teach according to our learning styles?
Over the last few years the terms learning styles have been used many times in any classroom management course. The message should be: the more you know your students' learning styles the better your activity planning will be. Not as simple as it looks, but crucial. Knowing the learning styles we like and which we tend to avoid can increase the effectiveness of our learning, and if we want our students to learn more effectively we should look for different activities which might suit different learning styles.
Let's find out how they learn
I teach teens and pre-teens, here are a few steps I would follow with any new class:
- Step 1: ask your students to complete a learning styles questionnaire. Here is a link from the Birmingham Grid for Learning.
- Step 2 : check with students by proposing a series of activities good for each different learning style. Observe your students, take notes of how they react to each activity and see if they match with your questionnaire.
For a list of sample activities for the most common learning styles look at this infographic:
I've also found these Five Multiple Intelligences Activities by Puchta and Rinvolucri very useful.
- Step 3: the school year is quite long, so try to remember the most successful activities for each class and get them to know they all have similar and different learning styles. You can group students according to them, or better let them work with classmates with different learning styles.
Use your results as a precious resource, but do not over trust them, in my experience, teenagers easily change their mood. Always consider that they can still act as different learners.

A package arrived at the backdoor a few weeks ago. Lit by afternoon sun, it leaned against the house like a carefully placed invitation. I sat down on the steps and opened it to find Aran's new cookbook, Small Plates & Sweet Treats inside.
Like her blog, Cannelle et Vanille, the book is bright, beautiful, and easy to get lost in. While the book is entirely gluten-free, the recipes are for everyone. I scanned through each season's recipes and photographs, noted the recipes to make right away, and then found myself wrapped in Aran's stories.
Aran's childhood was spent in her grandparents' pastry shop in Amorebieta, a small town in the Basque Country (set close to the boarder between Spain and France). Early on, the shop had old wood counters, glass candy jars, and a separate counter just for chocolate. There were two kitchens, the main pastry kitchen and the one next to it where her grandmother cooked and where the whole family sat down to eat meals and greet visitors. It was also a meeting spot for "priests, radicals, artists and anyone looking for great conversation and food" as well.
Seated on my back steps, I flipped through seasons and stories and imagined what the pastry shop must have been like, the food, conversation, and people. I wanted to be there and in some way, through Aran's book, I was. When I finally put the book down, I went into the kitchen and made bread. I have a slight suspicion you'll do the same.
Later, Aran and I exchanged emails. Here's how the conversation went.
The Interview.
Art & Lemons: How has your passion for food translated to your art?
Aran Goyoaga: For many years I tried to find a way to express myself. I tried to paint, write music… but I just could not find my vehicle. I began cooking at a very young age. I loved being in the kitchen and experiment with food, but I never thought food would end up being the vehicle for self-expression. Food also led me to photography and the combination of both has given me so many opportunities and experiences.
A & L: What would people be surprised to find in your kitchen?
AG: There is frozen alligator in my freezer right now….
A & L: Name three things you always have in your refrigerator.
AG: Eggs, kale and apple cider vinegar.
A & L: Describe the perfect snack.
AG: A bowl of toasted muesli with yogurt and fresh fruit. Or even better, slice of toasted bread drizzled with olive oil, a thin piece of dark chocolate on top, topped with fleur de sel. Maybe that's more like dessert than a snack, no?
A & L: Is there a food that always reminds you of home?
AG: Spanish tortilla would be one for sure, which I make for my family at least once a week. Diced potatoes and onions slowly cooked in olive oil, which are then mixed with eggs and finished in the pan like a thick omelet. Something my mom used to make for us all the time.
A & L: Other than home, where do you get a good cup of coffee?
AG: About two years ago, I stopped drinking coffee because it was making me ill. These days I only have it when I am in a place where it is irresistible, like Portland or Seattle. Although the cortados back home are pretty spectacular too.
A & L: What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten?
AG: I don't consider baby eel unusual because it is something really coveted in the Basque Country, but most Americans would consider it strange. Baby eel cooked in olive oil, garlic and chiles was my grandfather's favorite dish. He also loved lamb brains, tongue and all sort of organs. I have tried them all.
A & L: What was your most memorable meal?
AG: I have had many, especially meals cooked by my family members, but I recently ate at Martin Berasategui in San Sebastian and that was spectacular. Plus I was surrounded by my brothers and that made it even better.
A & L: What do you cook when you're alone?
AG: Usually a large composed salad with whatever I have in hand. A salad made with baby kale, shaved fennel, avocado, apple, radish, scallions and salmon is something I make often times when I am working alone at home.
A & L: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
AG: I am dying to go to Japan, Peru and Iceland. Soon I hope.
A & L: Thanks for the interview, Aran and I love the fact that there is alligator in the freezer!

Seeded Bread
slightly adapted from Small Plates & Sweet Treats by Aran Goyoaga
makes one 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch loaf
1/4 cup whole millet
5 tablespoons boiling water
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chia seeds, ground
3/4 cup water, heated to 110F
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon natural cane sugar
1 cup superfine brown rice flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 cup quinoa flour
1/2 teff flour
1/4 potato starch
1/3 cup almond flour
3 tablespoons tapioca starch
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
2 teaspoons salt
2 "flax eggs" (whisk 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds with 6 tablespoons boiling water; set aside)
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
In a small bowl, combine the millet and 3 tablespoons of the boiling water. Let it stand for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, stir together the ground chia seeds and the remaining 2 tablespoons boiling water. It will turn into a thick paste. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Let the yeast ferment for 10 minutes. It will become very frothy and foamy.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the superfine brown rice flour, quinoa flour, teff flour, potato starch, almond flour, tapioca starch, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, fennel seeds, and salt.
Drain the millet and add it to the dry ingredients along with the chia seed slurry, yeast mixture, "flax eggs", and maple syrup. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds with the paddle attachment. turn mixer to high speed and mix for 1 minute. The dough will be sticky and similar to a thick cake batter.
Transfer the dough to an oiled 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Dust the top with a bit of superfine brown rice flour. Loosely cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F. Bake the bread for 10 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350F. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Transfer the loaf pan to a cooling rack and let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and let cool completely, about 1 hour. Store at room temperature wrapped in parchment paper for 2 days or freeze tightly wrapped.

Floyd Mayweather Gambling: 'Money' Bets $10 Million On Broncos In Super Bowl 48? Adrien Broner After Marcos Maidana Defeat: 'People Feel Like Mayweather Took A Loss' [VIDEO]
on Jan 27, 2014 03:09 PM EST
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a well-known gambler, who may have made his craziest bet yet. According to reports, "Money" plopped down a cool $10.4 million on the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning to emerge victorious in Super Bowl XLVIII.
The Vegas Gambling Steam Twitter feed tweeted out this message, "*Betting Info* Floyd Mayweather L48hours bet 10.4Million on Broncos -2 (Action with 7 different shops + 4 offshore accts) 8Million in credit."
*Betting Info* Floyd Mayweather L48hours bet 10.4Million on Broncos -2 (Action with 7 different shops + 4 offshore accts) 8Million in credit
— Vegas Gambling Steam (@Pregame_Steam) January 27, 2014
That tweet was followed by another that read, "#Pregame Gambling sources expect another line move as Mayweather's bet starts making noise in the industry. Floyd has multiple credit lines."
#Pregame Gambling sources expect another line move as Mayweather's bet starts making noise in the industry. Floyd has multiple credit lines — Vegas Gambling Steam (@Pregame_Steam) January 27, 2014
Mayweather has been known to make massive bets on big events, and has made major coin betting across several sports, including the NFL, NBA, and both NCAA football and basketball. Mayweather famously gave Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel a shoutout when he chose them to cover a 17.5-point halftime spread. That ticket was for $22,000 however, which pales in comparison to the eight-figures being mentioned here.
While Mayweather is making waves in the casinos, his "lil bro" Adrien Broner has kept Floyd's name on his tongue despite catching the first loss of his career. On the most recent Showtime boxing card Broner made a strange boast during an interview with Brian Kenny.
When asked if taking an immediate rematch with Marcos Maidana, who battered him in December and knocked him to the mat twice, Broner responed by saying-- "I'm a fighter. If I go on, I know I can beat anybody. If I (do something else), then what they say? 'Oh, at least Maidana beat him.' I'm the closest thing to Floyd Mayweather, so since I took my loss, everybody feel like Floyd Mayweather took a loss.
"Because I'm the closest thing to him. And still to this day I'm the closest thing to him. We gonna be OK. My next fight, I hope I fight Maidana, but if I don't, it's OK."
Most who watched his fight with Maidana may disagree, but at 24 years old, it wouldn't necessarily be wise to totally count him out.

text: Growing with the sticks By Tom Bragg April 9, 2013 Story Share Lawrence Pierce Herbert Hoover's Brad Perry scoops up the ball against Huntington. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- As far as sports go, lacrosse is still in its infancy in the Kanawha Valley. However, that is starting to change.Capital, George Washington, Herbert Hoover and Hurricane all field boys teams in the West Virginia Scholastic Lacrosse Association, and GW also has a girls team.St. Albans - the first local school to have a lacrosse team in 2007 - recently restarted its program and is participating as an associate member of the WVSLA. Hurricane's team is new to the league this season and, just outside the Kanawha Valley, Huntington High has started a team in recent years.GW boys coach Brad White, who played in college at Vanderbilt then spent nearly a decade playing in leagues in the Washington, D.C. area, said as the sport becomes more popular more teams will start to compete at the high school level. Before that can happen, he said, the game has to establish its roots with younger generations of players."The more youth programs we have, the more demand will be created for them to start creating these programs," White said. "The U.S. Lacrosse Foundation has a special grant program that helps start up teams. Let's say Riverside wanted to start a team, they would probably this fall get in touch with the U.S. Lacrosse Foundation and apply for a grant and they would receive some type of support."A youth lacrosse program has been established at the Charleston Family YMCA, which White said makes a big difference in what he has to do as a coach at the high school level. Rather than coming in as total novices, the players will have grown up playing the sport."As your Cabell Midlands start to grow ... when Parkersburg gets a team, Winfield ... it'll continue to grow, and that comes through the youth," White said. "Where we're getting kids in now, they've already been playing in the 'Y' program [run by GW assistant Sam Sutton]. It's getting even younger than that with elementary schools. You can give me a kid that has stick skills and knows what to do on a lacrosse field." The Patriots have been the most successful of the Kanawha Valley teams so far this season with a record of 5-1. GW's only loss came against University, which (along with Morgantown) established the first high school lacrosse program in the state in the late 1990s. Hurricane sits at 4-2 with losses to GW and another established program from the northern part of the state, Fairmont Senior.Capital and Herbert Hoover have not had as much success this season. The Cougars have been close in several games - losing by one goal to Wheeling Park and by two against Fairmont Senior - with a lone win coming against Huntington. Hoover's only win came against first-year program Martinsburg, but like Capital the Huskies have dropped some close games. Hoover lost by one goal to both Bridgeport and Huntington.There are 15 boys teams, including the four Kanawha Valley teams and Huntington, that compete in the WVSLA. University, Morgantown, Wheeling Park, Linsly, Fairmont Senior, Bridgeport, Martinsburg, Harrison County (for players in the county that do not attend Bridgeport) and Preston are all full members, with the teams from Buckhannon-Upshur and St. Albans competing as associate members. On the girls side, there are six teams - Morgantown, Fairmont Senior, George Washington, University, Buckhannon-Upshur and Wheeling Park - that compete, with Martinsburg admitted as an associate member this season.The teams will continue regular-season play until early May when the playoffs being. The WVSLA state championship will be on May 18 at Mylan Pharmaceuticals Stadium at University High in Morgantown.Calls to the WVSSAC regarding the possibility of including lacrosse among the sanctioned high school sports in West Virginia were not returned. When asked if the sport gaining that designation is something he would like to see, White jumped at the chance to answer the question."You better believe it," he said. "Our principal and our athletic director are completely 100 percent behind us. Mr. [George] Aulenbacher [GW's principal] has been incredible and so has [athletic director] Shawn Wheeler."Capital coach Phil Wright said the sport faces obstacles in its path to wider recognition but he remains hopeful lacrosse will someday be just another sport for athletes in the Kanawha Valley. "It takes time, I recognize that," he said. "I think lacrosse may be where soccer was decades ago in this state. You're fighting for field time and recognition. I'm sure soccer had to deal with a lot of these same issues that we're dealing with now. I'm very optimistic. It's grown tremendously just in the last few years."Wright, who grew up playing the sport in Massachusetts and was an assistant at GW until taking over at Capital to coach his son, said playing the sport under the WVSSAC banner is still a ways off but the steps being taken are in the right direction."Ultimately I think it would be good for the sport," he said. "For some reason I think there are some schools that don't want to support it or deal with it if it's not SSAC sanctioned. What the SSAC sanctioning does more than anything is lend an air of legitimacy to the sport that some people might not otherwise attribute to it."Reach Tom Bragg at email@example.com.

Ya thanks a lot, I'm on a diet and I gotta look at all that great food. I wonder if they have turkey rice cakes?
See zap the vertical splitting club must be shrinking!
Nice pics, time for breakfast!
Yeah, yeah, yeah......old news.
We want pics from this year. Go kill a gobble, gobble. We'll wait.
There's a pretty good sized (I guess) turkey.........ranch? west of here on the way to Traverse City. We went by there a few weeks ago, and they had several hundred (SWAG).
Next time we go by, they won't be there.
Drool is soooo.... unbecoming.
Oh, and I'm waiting for one of the guys with the outdoor ovens to post similar pics.

I'm thinking I might take the wife out to McDonald's for a Thanksgiving dinner.

Don't get much gooder than that.
Clean baby clean!
zap, I remember that one.
I wore the blue hat for a few months while in HS.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, this was our meal today which I plan on working off tomorrow.
Round 5 o'clock I say, "Hope this dinner is going to be over by 6pm." My wife taking the bait gives me a glaring look. WTF?! "Gotta get down to Walmart by 8pm hon", I say. "There's hot sales awaiting." Took a moment to sink in, then she was angry and relieved and laughing all at the same time. Happy Thanksgiving all. Stay away from the malls and stay close to family.

Sometimes I am really glad to live in a state that has Blue Laws so retail workers can spend the day with their friends and families . . . pretty sad though since I suspect if this law wasn't in place a lot of folks would prioritize getting that good deal vs. spending time with their friends and families.
Jake, Blue Laws is something new to me. I presume that means the stores stay closed? If so, I like it. I've never liked it since most went to being open on Sundays and Holidays. Six days per week should be plenty.
Well they changed those laws a few years ago to allow stores to be open on Sundays . . . but holidays are still set aside for folks to celebrate with families and friends . . . well, providing they are not working in law enforcement, nursing, firefighting, EMS . . . .

As fast as things change in the software development world, it's amazing how the fundamentals stay true to form. Innovate or die. Go Agile or die. How about just get the freakin' requirements right or die! That might be a more accurate perspective that many development managers are taking today. Especially during this tough economy, taking a "back to basics" approach can prove to be a good strategy. Recently, we had an opportunity to speak with a few well respected consultants in the field of requirements management, including Karl Wiegers and James and Suzanne Robertson, and we were reminded of just how important it is to nail the fundamentals of the requirements management process – from writing good requirements to managing change requests to prioritizing new features and requirements. Whichever product development methodology or process you're using, it's critical to nail the fundamentals.
To help with this effort, we put together a new whitepaper on the 7 essential tips to ensure success with requirements management, along with a few free templates you can use right away to help you with your requirements process. For some, these tips might be new. For others, these tips will serve as a good reminder of the fundamentals that are easy to lose sight of during the heat of a project. You can download the requirements management resources directly from our web site. Feel free to share these with others and add links your favorite templates.

Escondido has installed 88 new security lights along the city's flood control to make the area safer and more attractive to bicyclists and pedestrians.
The 7-mile channel, which some call the Escondido Creek Walk, has had crime problems for many years.
City officials will celebrate the new lights, which extend from Broadway to Ash Street, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at dusk on Saturday, March 8. The ceremony will be held on Broadway next to Evans Tire.
Escondido covered the $576,000 cost of the lights with $410,000 of federal funds the city receives to bolster low-income areas, $10,000 from the city's utilities fund and a $156,000 grant from the county's regional planning agency -- the San Diego Association of Governments.
The lights represent new momentum behind a campaign to transform the barren flood control channel into a community gathering place and tourist attraction.
The city created a 242-page master plan for that campaign in 2011, but little progress has been made since. The master plan included adding a fitness loop, a farmers market and a skate plaza.

The BMW K1600 GT/GTL is a beast of a bike that requires hefty support to stand up to its size.
AltRider's in-house design team took a careful analysis of the center of gravity of the bike, and the ability to distribute the robust load on impact. In the case of an accidental tip-over, the cross bar distributes the load from one side to the other, relieving pressure from the existing mounting points to the other side of the bike. The connector bar adds significant strength to the design, effectively connecting into the threaded and blind boss on each side which provides 2 more locations for distributing impact.
