Bayfield High School girls basketball head coach Ronnie Posey perhaps put it best when asked about Thursday's performance.
"It was really bad timing to have a bad night."
The Wolverines (8-11, 2-6 IML) shot 24 percent from the field and fell 47-36 at Alamosa, dropping them into a pigtail game in the Intermountain League Tournament on Tuesday, which Posey said he thinks will be in Bayfield against Monte Vista.
"We couldn't hit anything," Posey said. "We had good looks. Most of those misses came in the paint. We were getting the shots we wanted. We just could not put them in."
And the inability to make shots impacted Bayfield's pressure defense.
"We were just chasing all night long after missed shots," Posey said. "Our defense wasn't bad. We just had to scramble all night chasing after missed shots.
"It kicks you out of everything else you want to do.
"We were playing for third; now we're playing just to make the tournament. I can't fault the girls for their effort. It was just bad timing for a bad night."

Gas Leak Prompts UF Housing Complex Evacuation
Published February 12th, 2010
An early morning gas leak left some people out in the rain and cold at the University of Florida.
Construction crews working near the Corry Village housing complex hit a gas line. Corry Village serves as graduate and family housing.
UF police blocked traffic around the area as crews worked to fix the problem.
"The leak wasn't of any size where we had to evacuate the entire complex, but we did have two buildings evacuated and have everyone else sheltered in place in the other buildings in Corry Village," UF Police Captain Jeff Holcomb said.
After about an hour, workers from GRU were able to turn off the gas line and residents were allowed to go home.

Find it frustrating to try to navigate around Pinterest? There are lots of great pictures – but I often find it difficult to find the original pattern source for something that intrigues me! There is a section entitled 'People' – but the people there are in no order, so it's very difficult to find he same person twice, especially if I don't remember the exact name.
I also find it to be a huge time waster! Initially, I thought Pinterest would be a great source of crochet inspiration. But, I find that I spend more time there just trying to source a pattern or find a crocheter than actually getting any kind of inspiration! That's a problem for me.
I think Pinterest could be a great resource. But, the way it's organized (or should I say disorganized), I have to spend too much time wandering sort of aimlessly there rather than being able to go directly to a person or pattern or project. I have heard some rumblings of these same feelings from some other crocheters. What about you?

That bookmarklet will help you find the source. It's helped me out a lot, especially when the pin leads to a spammy site instead of the source.

I love Pinterest as a way to keep track of things that I've stumbled across on the internet, but I rarely spend time surfing through other people's pins. Not only is it annoying to not be able to find the original source, but it drives me crazy when you search for something as generic as "crochet" you tend to end up with the same image 14 times.
Brenda on
July 11, 2012 6:25 am
Its not necessarily a pinterest problem, it's a problem with the pinners not sourcing the photos properly. It's actually easy to do, but for some I guess they can't figure it out. Google also has a way of searching for image sources that works pretty well. I'll also try the link above as well.

Am I crazy or did it use to be easier to find the original source? They chaged it and now it is incredibly difficult to find them!

Once you find someone you like, or a board you like, follow it, and you'll always be able to find it.
I know what you mean with trying to find the source, though. That's why I generally do not simply re-pin an item–I'll open the link and pin it from the original site just to make sure it isn't spam or a site that is copying from another site. I prefer the original creators! ^_^
Christy on
July 11, 2012 8:46 am
I look at it more as an stumble upon inspiration board type of experience. I'm sometimes disappointed when I can't find the source, but I find that instead of following explicit instructions, I enjoy it more when I try to figure it out myself or talk with my friends about ways to do it.
It's become a really fun way to learn and try new things I haven't thought of before.

So happy. I thought it was only me. Pinterest gets me so confused. When I do find something I want, it turns out to be completely by accident. Do they have a page that explains all this stuff. Obviously not. Had a funny experience with 'Pinterest' that wasn't.Kept asking to join. P.S. What is that about. Kept doing it for months (literally) then got an email from a blogI subscibe to saying that in Russia was a fake Pinterest (that appeared to have pirated the real Pinterest & that the only way to get to the real one was http://www.pinterest.com. Did that & received an invitation to become a member within 12 hours. Weird. Keep an eye out for this.

My deal with the site is that when someone "pins" something and then you go to find it, you have to search and search for the original item pinned whether it be a craft item, recipe, or something else. It is not the easiest place to navigate and sometimes it is very frustrating BUT most of the time I eventually find what I am looking for.
Marie/Underground Crafter on
July 12, 2012 8:05 am
I don't search it the way you do, which is maybe why I like it better :). I follow people who seem to have pins I like, and then I just periodically look at "Pinners You Folow" or search for crochet boards to find more people to follow!

I never saw the advantages of Pinterest and it was a great time waster to me also. It never really piqued my interest. I was granted an account (that kind of irked me too) and just never logged in after that. I'd rather browse blogs and their blogrolls.
Tracy on
July 12, 2012 12:49 pm
Yes, it's terrible. My followers get updates of a new pin I make, and it starts at the top, pushing everything else down. My pins of crochet/craft items is so long that it takes 4 min to scroll down to the first one I ever posted. I am now "creating" new boards to btrakit down a bit. "Crochet Blouses, L.S.", (L.S.= Lang Sleves), S.S., Tank Tops, Doilies, Bags/Purses, Toys, Appliques/Frigies.
All w/ Crochet in front. Same goes for recipes.

I love pinterest. For me it's a great way of using it to keep my bookmarks organised, bookmarks with pictures are easier to locate than bookmarks without. I never have a problem locating the source of the pattern or item that i want to see and if i repin, i always repin from the original page.

This is all very good for me to hear! I pin all the crochet patterns I write. Now after reading this, I think I need to go back into Pinterest and create more specific boards so it'll be easier for people to navigate.
In all honesty, I don't have time to surf around on Pinterest much. The few times, I've had the whole "going down a rabbit trail" experience too.

Birgit on
July 14, 2012 1:10 pm
I don't surf around to find stuff on Pinterest, because people (including myself) often don't tag the pictures with good keywords.
Instead I follow people's boards, where they collect crochet stuff or other things I am interested in. It works great for me: When I open Pinterest, I see all the recent pins from many different crochet boards.

I don't typically browse Pinterest for ideas. I just use it for pinning things I find on my own. So I can keep track of things I find.

i find it such hard work to find or pin anything, I have 1 pin and then have been blocked everytime from pinning anything else, it's a great idea, but a bit of a mess.
Christina on
August 8, 2012 5:01 pm
I agree. I have never been able to get into pintrest because once I find an idea I like I expect to be able to quickly get to the instructions and get inspired! Instead I spend 5 min looking for the original and more often than not give up and decide to figure it out myself. While I don't have a problem figuring things out myself, that was hardly why I was browsing pintrest.

I am very disappointed in pinterest & I don't know how to unsubscribe from them. I thought it was a place to keep my pictures of my crochet projects or whatever. Unfortunately, I find that something w/ the little icon can only be "pinned". Otherwise, I have no time or use for this site. I'm very busy in other words. Anyway, it was later that my daughter pointed out Picasa to me. Like a personal photo album. Thanks! Sheri *c*

At our Theme Dinner in a Nursing Home, we had a Hollywood dinner. We had a 24 foot long banquet table to cover. We layed three sheets of plywood on top of the tables to make a larger table. We covered the wood with black tablecloths. We then placed the plastic star round tablecloths over the black tablecloths overlaping a little. This allowed the stars to show up and being round, the table looked like it had scooped edges. This was a great effect to our Hollywood evening. These were very durable, quality tablecloths.

Interview By Scott Weinberg
It's a horror flick, a farce, a satire and a coming-of-age story all at the same time. It's funny, it's strange, and it's got a dog's name: It's "Fido," a tasty genre cocktail that's been widely admired at some of the world's finest film festivals. As writer/director Andrew Currie prepares for Lionsgate's June 15 release date, he takes a few minutes to sit down with Fearnet and introduce us to Fido.
Why not start off by telling our readers what Fido is all about and why they will enjoy it? It's obviously got strong elements of both genres, but if you were stocking Fido in the video store, would it go under "comedy" or "horror"?
Fido is a cross-genre film that blends dark comedy, horror, melodrama, zombie and ?boy and his dog? films (like Lassie.) I made Fido for film lovers, geeks like me who love going to movies, who look for and enjoy references to other films, who appreciate something that?s different. If I was stocking the video shelf I would put it in the comedy section. I love horror and played with the genre in Fido, but the horror in Fido is more playful then horrifying. It?s not a movie that?s going to scare you, but if you like horror films and enjoy someone twisting the genre a bit, then you?ll probably like Fido.
My colleague James Rocchi leaned over to me after a press screening of Fido at last year's Toronto Film Festival, and his comment was "It's like Douglas Sirk meets George Romero!" Do you think this is a fair assessment of the film?
Sure. It?s a wicked comment, love it! Douglas Sirk was a big influence for me, so I think it?s really appropriate.
How have the festival reactions and the early reviews been?
The festival reactions for Fido have been great. Toronto was our world premiere and it was amazing! We were the Opening film for the section so they gave us a red carpet reception. It was a lot of fun, and nearly all the actors were there. We had a blast. I think the highlight was doing the Q&A afterwards. Billy Connolly spent five minutes doing nothing but talking about his pants and it was hilarious! All the festivals have been great, I loved Sundance, SXSW and AFI Dallas as well. Reviews have been nearly all been great so far, knock on wood.
What's been your favorite response so far?
I obviously like the really good reviews, especially the reviewers who get the depth. Truthfully one of my favorite reviews was negative, it seemed so off-base that it made me laugh out loud. It was from a reviewer/blogger that saw it at the Toronto film festival. Here?s a great excerpt: "My first experience at this year?s film festival was the screening of a zombie flick called Fido. For the first time in my life, I witnessed senior citizens and young children being eaten alive on celluloid. I remember thinking: so this is the Film Fest? This is the annual event that draws thousands of expectant people from around the world? It just seemed so excessive. Did this bizarre indulgence really service some kind of fundamental human need?" I laughed so hard because it?s so not Fido. He obviously didn?t get the movie at all, not to mention the fact that he clearly has issues with violence. So what the fuck is he doing at a zombie movie in the first place?!
Your movie takes a decidedly off-kilter poke at consumerism, conformity, and the ever-present urge to "keep up with the Joneses." How important is it that viewers get and/or appreciate the subtext of the piece?
We layered Fido so that on the surface it was a really stylized comedy, that was also a satire about conformity, keeping up with the Joneses and a fun poke at Homeland Security ?- the idea of spreading fear in the masses as a way of controlling them. In Fido there?s this fence where the collared zombies are on the inside and the wild zombies are on the outside. It?s a world where there are no prisons. They don?t need them anymore because if there?s a criminal they just get tossed into the wild zone, then once they?re zombies, you slap a collar on them, bring them back into society and put them to work! They use the old prisons as homes for the elderly... It?s that kind of satire.
Fido might be seen as a "tough sell" for some distributors. How important was it for you to hook up with an outlet like Lionsgate?
Fido is the kind of movie that?s hard to describe in a sentence, therefore harder to sell to your average moviegoer. That?s what?s great about a lot of horror fans they?re always looking for something new and different. I think being with Lionsgate has been great because they know how to market. I really love the new trailer that?s playing (www.apple.com, etc). I think it captures the humor of the film well.
Any idea on how many theaters will be carrying the movie?
Fido has always been planned as a platform release film which means starting in L.A. and New York, then expanding to Seattle, San Diego, San Francisco, Dallas, Austin and Chicago on June 29th, then other cities as word of mouth (hopefully) builds. I like this strategy, and hope the word builds quickly enough.
Any tidbits you can promise for the DVD?
We just met with Lionsgate about the DVD and I think it?s going to be wicked. We were talking about an interactive section where you?ll be able to turn yourself or your girlfriend or whatever into a zombie. And definitely a few deleted scenes - there?s more Lassie parody stuff that I cut from the movie. And I think we?re going to add a short a film I made when I was at the Canadian Film Centre (Norman Jewison?s film school in Toronto) it?s called Night of the Living. It?s a short film about a kid who?s a huge horror fan, and whose alcoholic father falls off the wagon. The kid thinks his dad is turning into a zombie. It?s more drama then comedy, although it?s sort of funny when the kid tries to ?bond? with his dad by feeding him raw steak.
Do you consider yourself a big horror fan? Do you like the old-school creepy stuff, the nastier modern flicks, or a little from both columns?
I?m definitely a horror fan. I love that there?s so much variety in the genre. I like a lot of the horror films from the 30?s like Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein (which is even better than Frankenstein), and especially Todd Browning?s Freaks, and then the psychological ones like Rosemary?s Baby, The Tenant, and Hitchcock?s The Birds, and of course Romero?s Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead. And the stylized ones like George Franju?s Eyes without a Face, which is great, and Dario Argento?s Suspiria and Kubrick?s The Shining.
Then there?s the ones that really scared the shit out of me like The Exorcist, The Thing (Carpenter?s version), Jaws, Halloween, and Psycho. And the comedy-horror films especially Evil Dead II and Brain Dead which are hilarious. And of course, being a big David Lynch fan I have to mention Eraserhead (which I?ve seen over 20 times and becomes a dark comedy after about the 5th viewing, try it you?ll see what I mean) and of course Blue Velvet which is an amazing cross-genre film.
Of the more recent horror films, I liked The Descent and The Ring (Japanese and U.S. versions.) There?s a ton of other great horror films, but those are the ones that come to mind.
Fido boasts a pretty impressive cast. How do you manage to "sell" such a unique concept to folks like Dylan Baker, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Tim Blake Nelson?
We really did have an amazing cast and they were also really incredible people. I wrote Mr. Theopolis specifically with Tim Blake Nelson in mind; so for him to come on board was really exciting for me ? especially as he was also a writer/director which added a nice level of intimidation for me, but he was amazing and the most supportive guy you?ll ever meet. I know that he really liked the fact that Fido wasn?t a straight genre film. He liked the "cross-genre" and the fact that there was this deeper satirical level as well. In fact all the main actors really responded to those elements in the script. It sure as hell wasn?t my personality that got them in!
Talk a little about the nearly unrecognizable Billy Connolly and what he brought to the project.
Billy Connolly was brilliant to work with! He brought such an amazing warmth to the character, conveyed so much through his eyes. And he was hilarious on set, he?s got such a great twisted view of the world that you?re always laughing with him.
Where'd you find K'Sun Ray, who capably carries the movie and never becomes one of those "obnoxious movie kids."
We picked K?Sun Ray after we looked at nearly 600 kids for the part. K?Sun is such a great kid, with a wicked sense of humor and really really smart. You can see in his eyes he?s not one of those kids that seem like they?re medicated all the time, who seem to be in a lot of movies these days.
Anything new on the horizon for you? I see you're writing a comedy called "Sperm." Dare to tell us what that one's about?
Sperm is now called 'The Truth about Lying'. Here's a piece of the synopsis from our company?s website (yeah I?m lazy): "Gregor is a compulsive liar and hypochondriac, prone to spontaneous daydreams. He blames his condition on his brilliant, over-achieving father, who died when he was a baby. Now, Gregor is paralyzed by overwhelming expectations from a mother who wants him to live up to the great man. In a Mother/Son battle of epic proportions, Gregor discovers that she might just be a bigger liar than he is, and maybe Dad wasn?t quite the man everyone thought."
I'm in the middle of writers block which is always fun. I think it?s also because the main character is a bit like me, daydreaming instead of working.
Any chance of a Fido 2?
I don?t think there?ll be a Fido 2, I?m hoping to do a vampire project which I?m really excited about. The nice thing about vampires is they can talk and they?re cool (and have a much greater chance of getting laid ? unless of course they?re like Fido who has it all going.)

Gov. Mitt Romney may make a stop in Queens, says former GOP Assembly Candidate Vince Tabone.
Tabone, who lives in Bayside, spoke with the presidential aspirant, during his Feb. 28 victory party in Michigan. He was on the trip with several other New York City GOPers, including Queens Party Chairman Phil Ragusa.
"The party chairman implored him to visit the boroughs," said Tabone. The former Massachusetts Governor then purportedly told the mixed group of Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens Republicans, "I'm going to be in New York and I'm going to try to visit each and every one of you."
A call to Romney's campaign office to confirm the candidate's travel plans has not yet been returned. If Romney does visit Queens, he'll have a receptive audience with Tabone, who called Romney, "the strongest most coherent candidate."
Tabone's friend and Councilman, Dan Halloran, R-Whitestone, seems not to agree.
Photos of Halloran attending a Get Out The Vote event for Ron Paul Rally on Bell Blvd. were displayed on the Councilman's facebook page on Saturday.
Halloran ran for the District 19 council seat with the endorsement of the Libertarian Party, as well as on the Republican, Conservative, Independence and lines.

WePay is expanding from a group payment service, taking on others in the online payments space such as PayPal.
The start-up is launching WePay Stores, a service for merchants to quickly set up online stores. For people who want to sell online they do not need a merchant account.
Palo Alto, Calif.-based WePay originally launched with a tool for people manage and collect payments from a group of people. Up until now WePay has focused on consumers: smaller groups such as fraternities, alumni groups, or friends who go on a group vacation.
WePay then released an events product, so that people organizing an event could manage both the ticket sales and the payment processing on WePay. This makes it easier than having to use, for example, both Eventbrite and PayPal for payments, says WePay co-founder Rich Aberman. Or for groups seeking donations, instead of using Kickstarter and PayPal, they can use just WePay. The WePay events product was built on a whim as demand for it grew–it's designed to be quick to set up and doesn't include sophisticated features such as ticket scanning that Eventbrite has.
Now WePay is going more directly after merchants, and eBay's PayPal. Whereas people would previously have to use PayPal for payments and Yahoo Stores, Chase or Shopify to set up an online store, WePay is providing both payments and stores together, Aberman says. While other shopping cart services require more sophistication and some customization, WePay is aimed at people who don't even necessarily have their own website. It's designed to be set up in a minute, he says. People can embed the WePay store on their blog with a single line of code, Aberman says.
While WePay did not originally announce their intention to go after PayPal, Aberman is clear about that now. "Our goal is, we're taking on PayPal," Aberman says. "Our goal is to replace them as the de facto way to pay online."
WePay charges 3.5%, while PayPal charges about 1.9% to 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. However, Aberman says because WePay is an all-in-one service, it ends up costing about the same as using PayPal plus another services such as Eventbrite. Other web site creators such as Weebly also offer stores.
Payments is a complex business which took PayPal years to develop so the company faces challenges. Payments include merchant accounts, underwriting, gateway fees, anti-fraud controls and chargebacks. Aberman says WePay handles all of that so customers don't have to worry about it. WePay also has debit cards and bank accounts through a bank partner.
To help with this, one of WePay's angel investors and an advisor is Max Levchin who built much of PayPal's original anti-fraud system. WePay is also using technology that was not available when PayPal was founded, such as using social networking data to verify peoples' identities.
In one example of a company using the WePay Stores service, StartupTees.com is using the service.
WePay was founded by Bill Clerico and Aberman in 2008 and is backed by August Capital, Highland Capital Partners and YCombinator.
So what is in it for customers to pay more for this service? It is not almost the same as PayPal, 1.9% and 3.5% is a considerable difference when everyone wants a piece of you action. I am not sure why PayPal is 1.9% to 2.9% but on an $80.00 transaction. Both are less, even the 2.9% plus the .30 cent fee is less. So what is the attraction and reason to switch? You can see how thois could add up after a while here is the possible costs on a $80 & $200 transaction;
$200.00 x 1.9% =3.80+ .30= $4.10/ $200.00 x 2.9% = $5.80 = .30= $6.10
$200.00 x 3.5% = $7.00
I am not sure about anyone else, but I do not see this as worthwhile, I could be wrong, am I missing something?

New Bedford Mayor Scott Lang said Wednesday the notorious, disputed and belatedly clarified fishermen's letter to Congress and NOAA national and regional officials didn't help the cause toward needed changes.
But Lang urged the industry to step back and take stock of ways Congress can remedy the system.
"Why are people apprehensive?" he said in a telephone interview. "Let's get everyone together and talk through pursuing the move to reform NOAA.
He said the answer to his question is that people "don't know what comes next."
But, "If NOAA follows the law, something better will come out," added Lang, who has spearheaded a court challenge to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's system of groundfish regulations.
Signed by more than 100 fishermen, the letter sparked a debate now in its third week over vague accusations about "a few voices calling for the overturn of the entire sector system," and "the media" for amplifying the radical notions until elected officials tuned in.
Instead, the writers argued, they wanted stability and greater federal investment in the New England groundfishery, which is now operating under a catch share management system that has brought fleet consolidation that critics note is costing jobs across the region.
Meanwhile, two other letters surfaced on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The first — signed by 18 of the original signers, and crafted in the offices of the Northeast Seafood Coalition, but sent to Saving Seafood, the industry news website, by Frank Patania, a Boston fisherman — sought to clarify that the original letter did not intend to "champion a national catch share agenda, and it is simply wrong for anyone to suggest that it does."
That was a thinly-veiled slap at the Environmental Defense Fund and the Conservation Law Foundation, both of which blogged about the original letter in ways that left the perception that the original letter writers were expressing support for the catch share system.
"EDF spun the letter," said Gloucester fisherman Russell Sherman.
A member of a sector organized by the Gloucester-based Northeast Seafood Coalition, Sherman has been outspoken in opposition to catch shares, but signed the original letter and the clarification.
The second letter, which was also released by Saving Seafood, added 10 names to the original letter ,and the same 10 fishermen, all from New Bedford, said they chose to sign "in light of the clarification letter."
Dated Nov. 14, the eve of the November meeting of the New England Fishery Management Council, the initial letter was signed by more than 100 fishermen, with a clear plurality based on Cape Cod.
The letter was emailed to Sen. John Kerry's office by Tom Dempsey, an officer of the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association, which is in a political alliance with myriad environmental non-government organizations that have received funding from foundations pushing catch shares. Most prominent among those are the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, rooted in Intel Corp., and the Walton Foundation, created by the family that founded Wal-Mart.
The hook association invented sector fishing, and has received foundation grants to continue the development of the system that receives catch shares into sectors. And numerous foundations fund EDF's campaign to expand catch share management.
"EDF staff continues to support managers and industry leaders in an increasingly broad and rapid transition to catch shares in many different New England fisheries," the Alex C. Walker Foundation notes on its website.
"We coordinate our policy change efforts with allies including the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fisherman's Association, Oceana, Earth Justice, Conservation Law Foundation, the New England Aquarium, and The Nature Conservancy."
The fishermen's Tuesday clarification letter emphasized, however, that the original letter "was not meant to champion a national catch share agenda, and it is simply wrong for anyone to suggest that it does."
"What we do share in common," the new letter states, "(is) a financial dependence on the groundfish resource, and a full understanding that the only available alternative to the sector management system," a return to the days at sea system, "would bankrupt us all."
Tina Jackson, who has led the opposition to Amendment 16 on behalf of her organization, the American Association of Fishermen and Their Communities, said that perspective was doomed because the government would simply winnow down the fleet with smaller allocations until the industry was left with a handful of catch share winners splitting the riches.

Foot Reflexology is an ancient healing art that
focuses on areas of the feet which correspond to all parts of the
body. There are ten zones in the body, starting at the 10 toes, and
traveling vertically up the body to the top of the head, and out to
the 10 fingers. If anything within a zone is overactive,
underactive, injured or compromised in some way, it can have an
affect on any other organ or body system within that zone. By
touching the Reflex Zones on the feet, the nerve ending transfers
that touch (that energy) through nerve impulses and energetic
pathways to bring corresponding areas of the body within that zone
into balance. Reflexology helps a person to be in a relaxed state,
which will allow them to connect with their own body�s natural
healing power. Science has shown that touch alone can trigger
endorphins, the body�s natural painkillers, to be circulated
throughout the body creating a relaxation response. For some,
Reflexology is an invaluable tool for relaxation and exploring the
Reflexology is a wonderful tool to facilitate healing. Many clients
reach the Alpha or Theta brain wave state. It is this level of
relaxation, similar to REM sleep, at which the central nervous
system makes its critical adjustments for the body's healthy
function. When in a relaxed state, the body naturally knows what it
needs to do to restore its own balance. Reflexology aids in this
process. We offer 1/2

The Valdosta Daily Times
A win tonight and the Valwood Valiants will be able to mark off a few tasks from their to-do list this season — finish the regular season undefeated and as outright region champions.
"The Thursday before our camp ended, we had our guys come in and set some goals for the season, and that is definitely one of them," Valwood head coach Ashley Henderson said. "That is one of our short-term goals. It is nice that our seniors have the chance to obtain that."
The Valiants can secure the outright GISA Region 3-AA championship with a win over rival Southwest Georgia Academy tonight in Damascus. The task, according to Henderson, won't be easy.
"Coach (David) Bell does an outstanding job with those guys," Henderson said. "He has been there for a while, and he knows what buttons to push to get those guys ready to play, especially when they play Valwood."
Valwood clinched a share of the region championship last week with a 35-0 blowout win over Brookwood.
"It was really good to shut them out," Henderson said of last week's win over Brookwood. "We have given up some points with our younger kids at the end of games, and they got in and competed and held the shutout. It was really nice, and nice to see the starters encourage the younger guys to hold the shutout."
Southwest Georgia was beaten by Westwood last week, the Warriors' first and only region loss this season.
A Southwest Georgia victory tonight would create chaos inside the region. Valwood, Southwest Georgia and Westwood would all share the region championship and seeding in the playoffs would be decided by various tie-breakers, including points each team allowed to the other co-champions in the first half of their given games against each other.
None of the various tie-breakers will matter, though, if the Valiants take care of their business tonight.
Recently, Southwest Georgia has been the Achilles heel of Valwood. The Warriors own a six-game winning streak over the Valiants, including a 20-17 win last year in Valdosta.
"From what I saw, they controlled the game and they hit Valwood for a couple big pass plays," Henderson said. "They won the battle of the turnovers, and won the kicking game. In close region games, that usually does it."
Offensively, the Warriors line up in a wishbone-style offense and are primarily a power-run based offense, featuring two tight ends and three running backs.
"They try to knock you off the ball, and want to control the ball," Henderson said. "They have a great running back — Will Warren is his name — and he ran for like 300 yards against Sherwood Christian. And their quarterback makes good decisions. He is Coach Bell's son, and he doesn't make many mistakes. They don't beat themselves."
On defense, Henderson said Southwest Georgia makes its opponents earn everything. The Warriors are allowing 20 points per game, but have allowed 34 or more points in three games this year, including 38 to Westfield.
"The games we have seen, we haven't seen many big plays," Henderson said. "They gave up a big fake punt against Sherwood (Christian) and they made Westwood earn everything they got. It was all drives, and there weren't a lot of big plays."
Tonight's game can be heard on The Jock 1150 AM and 96.1 FM.

Introductory letter by DA Leader, Helen Zille
Dear Voter
This election is a contest between two political philosophies, each of which will take our country in a fundamentally different direction. These diametrically opposing options can be described, in summary, as the "open, opportunity driven society for all" versus the "closed, crony society for some".
The Democratic Alliance believes in the open, opportunity society for all. It is a belief that shapes everything we say and do.
In such a society, everybody has the opportunities and the space to shape their own lives, improve their skills and follow their dreams. The government's key role is to expand and promote equal opportunities for all. People are not held back by arbitrary criteria such as gender, religion, or colour, or the prejudice of those in power.
In the open, opportunity society, outcomes are linked to opportunity, effort and ability, not special favours dispensed by a ruling clique in the ruling party. When the government is doing its job as the Constitution intended, real opportunities are extended to more and more people. Opportunity is not a zero-sum game where some progress at the expense of others. In a functional open society, everyone can have real opportunities. And the more people use their opportunities, the more they create for others.
In the closed, crony society, the prospects of each individual are determined by his links and access to the small leadership network in the ruling party. The leadership promotes and protects the network (inside and outside the party)and the network, in return, protects and promotes the leadership. It is a closed circle based on reinforcing mutual interests. Mutual enrichment soon becomes the primary focus. This inevitably results in corruption and power abuse.
Merit and competence are entirely incidental in this kind of system. The people with prospects are those loyalists who can be relied upon to extend and entrench the network's control over all levers of power both inside the party, and throughout society, and follow its instructions.
The difference between the open, opportunity society and the closed, crony society is the difference between success and failure in an emerging democracy.
We have the clearest example of the ultimate failed state – the closed, crony society of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe – right on our doorstep. We must make the conscious choice to move in the opposite direction.
The DA is the only party in South Africa that promotes the open opportunity society in principle and – in those municipalities we govern across the country – practice.
When I make these points people often say to me: we are not interested in political philosophy. What are you going to do about poverty? I reply that a strong foundation in political philosophy is essential to develop policies that have positive practical outcomes. Our policies offer South Africans the best chance we have of overcoming poverty and ensuring progress. A closed, crony government results in steady decline. The simple truth is that corrupt leaders make poor people poorer. Their promises are irrelevant and unattainable.
The DA's vision is reflected in our manifesto, which is based on a package of carefully costed and mutually reinforcing policies that set out practical steps to attain our vision of an open, opportunity society for all. Our manifesto addresses our top five policy priorities: reducing poverty; improving the quality of education; healthcare; fighting crime and corruption; and protecting and defending the Constitution.
Creating opportunity is the focus of all our policies, because we believe that the only way to reduce poverty is by expanding opportunity through sustained job-creating economic growth, a significantly improved education system, a highly functional criminal justice system and effi cient delivery of basic services.
Of course, we believe in alleviating poverty through an appropriate social safety net of state grants, too. That is why we support a Basic Income Grant.
But we tie opportunity to responsibility, because individuals have the responsibility to use their opportunities to improve their lives and become the best they can be.
People cannot use their opportunities unless they are educated, healthy and safe.
At the moment, our schools are poorly resourced – often, the state cannot even deliver textbooks on time – and millions of learners leave school illiterate and innumerate because of poorly managed and sub-standard teaching.
To improve the quality of education, the DA will set performance targets for teachers and schools, and reward good performance. We will focus on making dysfunctional schools work better by establishing task teams and implementing a mentoring programme. To ensure that pupils from poor families have access to quality education, we will introduce a per-child preschool state subsidy (weighted according to parental income) and encourage a national network of community-based early childhood education centres.
Our public hospitals are in a state of decay: they are badly managed, queues are long, medicine cabinets are empty, and there is an exodus of doctors and nurses from the public health care sector.
The DA will build a system of hospitals and clinics that delivers prompt, quality service to all our citizens by ensuring that every hospital is capably managed, by bringing the private sector into state hospitals, and by running a full-throttle campaign to train and recruit more doctors and nurses.
Crime is out of control because most criminals are confident they will get away with it. They know that most criminals are never caught, and even when they are, the conviction rate in court is only 11%. Criminals get away with crime because our criminal justice system is dysfunctional at every level.
It cannot prevent crime, apprehend criminals, gather evidence, prosecute and convict them successfully, secure them in prisons or rehabilitate them there.
The DA will:
- increase the total number of police officers on the beat,
- improve detection rates
- reduce court backlogs, and
- ensure that criminals serve the time they deserve.
For the DA, "life means life". We will also make prisoners work, both to equip them with skills they can use outside prison and to allow them partly to atone for their crimes.
Finally, the DA wants to protect and defend the Constitution, and to put power back where it belongs – in the hands of citizens. We believe that the open, opportunity society for all can only come into being on the basis of democratic, transparent and accountable governance.
Although the Constitution provides for such governance in principle, we need to make it work in practice. That is why the DA proposes the direct election of the President, Premiers and Mayors, and a mixed proportional representation (PR)- constituency electoral system to elect MPs and MPLs. This would create a direct link between voters and their public representatives to increase accountability.
The DA can and will deliver on the promises in our manifesto. We are a party of government, and our track record in local government proves that we match our words with deeds.
This time, we can win. But we need your vote to do it. So vote for the open, opportunity society for all, and vote to win.
Best wishes
Helen Zille

Confusing accident scene clears up for investigators.
Reports show the accident deputies learned about Sunday morning at 30th and Cedar Creek Road had actually happened late Saturday night. Deputies were told a boy had sustained only a minor injury to his hand. The woman who had been the driver was cited for driving under suspension and there was a license pick-up order against her. She was also cited for leaving the scene of an accident.
In another crash, the Cassgram reports a 17-year-old female driver was in a rollover accident west of Elmwood late Sunday afternoon. She told deputies she swerved to miss a deer. Then the 2001 Ford Focus she was driving went out of control, rolled and landed in its side in a bean field. She was taken to a Lincoln hospital by Elmwood Rescue. She had her seat belt on.

I bought a classifieds website ($99 option) from [login to view URL] but the script isn't exactly how I wanted it or as described. I want the ability to add more levels of sub categories. For example I want my site to work a little bit like Craigslist as far as the locations go. I would like the homepage to to be locations by state, then County, then Category (ex: clothing), then the option for sub categories (ex: children's clothing). I want to know what the cost to modify this script would be? If it's reasonable I will continue to work with Titanclassifieds to obtain the script.

Book Irony: GM's Glory Days and the Big Three Bailout
Just as the executives are pleading for a bailout, GM is touting its history.
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers.
We get books all the time at U.S. News from publishers hopeful for a plug. In a rich irony, just as Detroit's Big Three were seeing their chances for a bailout shot down in Washington this week, The Art and Colour of General Motors arrived. A beautiful coffee-table book, it shows just why GM and the other two are in such big trouble: Their glory days appear to be over. Or, to quote a prominent senator we talked to about Detroit's plight, "Most people are frustrated that they can't go out and buy an American car that they are happy with."
For $100, you can see classic shots of the Corvette, the GTO, Camaro, Caddy, and Bel Air. And then there is this claim in the foreword by Bob Lutz, vice chair of global product development: "Although I don't think we should live in the past when GM's best days are squarely in front of us, the images captured here, some for the first time, present a fantastic look at where we've been; some even hint at where we're going."

STANFORD, Calif. — Keith Price sat in a chair with a cellphone to his ear, still wearing his yellow practice jersey after the conclusion of Washington's workout on Wednesday.
As UW coach Steve Sarkisian strolled past, he asked his quarterback: "Who are you talking to?"
"Sports Illustrated," Price responded.
An ESPN photo shoot also awaited Price after the fifth-year senior quarterback spent a few minutes answering questions from local media.
These are the spoils — attention, national headlines and such — that accompany an unbeaten start and top-15 national ranking. Both of those achievements are on the line Saturday night when the Huskies travel to face No. 5 Stanford, a Pac-12 North and national championship contender that also boasts a 4-0 record. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.
If Sarkisian had his way, the
Huskies would remain blissfully unaware of any of the aforementioned stakes. That has been the goal for the fifth-year coach since the beginning of preseason camp: no distractions, no looking past each repetition, each practice, each meeting.
"I don't feel like they're making this game out to be bigger than it is," Sarkisian said Thursday. "It's a football game that we get to play at 7:30 on Saturday."
That hasn't always been the attitude of Sarkisian's teams as they've prepared for big games. In years past, he said, there might have been too many players worrying about the ramifications of wins or losses against high-profile opponents such as Stanford or Oregon.
But Sarkisian thinks the Huskies have grown up. He credits players such as Price for that turnaround, and the fact that the team is led by seniors and juniors.
"I think this is where we should be, getting a lot of attention," Price said as ESPN's Tom Rinaldi watched from the track inside the Dempsey indoor facility. "But we understand that's not what's going to make us win games. We understand the preparation it took to get to this point. We're not going to forget what happened last season. I think this team still has a chip on their shoulder. I know I still do, personally."
Last year, there was a 41-3 pasting at No. 3 LSU and a 52-21 loss at No. 2 Oregon. The year before, the Huskies' performance in big-time road games against top-25 teams was no different: a 51-38 loss at No. 11 Nebraska, a 65-21 drubbing at No. 7 Stanford and a 67-56 shootout loss to No. 12 Baylor in the Alamo Bowl.
Those teams were loaded with talent, and each was favored to beat the Huskies. But it's hard to argue there were a couple in which UW simply didn't look ready to play.
"I feel like we'd get into some of these games, we'd like to listen to what people had to say about us, or if we were supposed to win or not supposed to win," Sarkisian said. "Any of those types of things are potential distractions — what if we win, what if we lose? Those are all things that I think used to get in our way a little bit. I think now our team doesn't think like that."
There's certainly plenty to think about. The Huskies barely have time to breathe, win or lose, after playing Stanford. A visit from No. 2 Oregon is on the schedule for next week, and a trip to No. 22 Arizona State follows.
It's a gauntlet that will test whether the Huskies' offense can continue its fourth-in-the-nation pace against defenses more talented than Idaho State and Illinois.
And whether the defense looks as fast and imposing as it has through four weeks, a span in which it has limited opponents to 10.8 points per game.
And, too, whether the Huskies' approach changes based on who they're playing.
"It shouldn't," fourth-year junior defensive end Hauoli Kikaha said. "I'm not going to say that it doesn't for some people. If everybody's buying into what the coach is preaching and instilling, we should be treating it like anyone else."
7:30 p.m., Stanford Stadium, Stanford, Calif.
TV: ESPN. Radio: 950-AM.
The series: Washington leads, 41-38-4. Washington won, 17-13, in Seattle in 2012.
What to watch: Stanford's defensive front seven features six seniors and one junior, and knocked WSU quarterback Connor Halliday out of last week's game. ... The Cardinal's running game hasn't suffered much after the graduation of all-time leading rusher Stepfan Taylor. Former baseball player Tyler Gaffney has been an admirable replacement (72 carries, 377 yards) and is complemented by Anthony Wilkerson (41 carries, 191 yards). ... This is the biggest test of the season for Washington's defense, which ranks fourth nationally in scoring defense (10.8 points per game) and second in pass efficiency defense.
The pick: Stanford, 31-28.

Macular Society Croydon branch reborn after closure forced by volunteer shortage
Updated 4:28pm Monday 3rd March 2014 in News By Chris Baynes, Reporter
A sight loss support group forced to shut last year due to a shortage of volunteers has been relaunched.
The Macular Society's Croydon branch, which offers information and friendship to people with age-related macular degeneration, will meet on March 12.
It was reborn with the help of the charity Croydon Vision and local volunteers.
Annette Gahlings, aged 76, from Warlingham, attended the group's meetings before they stopped. She said: "I've had a macular dystrophy for quite a long time. It can be very frustrating.
"It was difficult to give up driving and become more reliant on other people.
"I'm pleased the group is being re-launched. I think it's a very good idea.
"There were a lot of people who were disappointed when it stopped. We had a number of interesting speakers and I enjoyed going along.
"The group gives people an opportunity to meet others in a similar position and discuss the problems they are having with their sight."
Tom McInulty, Macular Society group support and development manager, said: "This group is here for anybody affected by macular degeneration. we want to encourage people to come along. Friends and family are also very welcome.
"It's good to be able to learn from each other's experiences and get tips. The peer support can be so helpful.
"Our groups can really help people increase in confidence and become more independent."
The group will meet 10am-12pm at St. Andrew's Church, Southbridge Road, Croydon.
Age-related macular degeneration, which affects central vision, is the most common form of sight loss in the UK, affecting more than 500,000 people.

theme – the end of summer
The end of summer. A time when everyone begins to move indoors. A time when the beaches become deserted and ice cream is eaten less often.
Wait a minute, this is Florida. The summer never really ends. Stay outside, eat ice cream and enjoy those sandy beaches. – Diane

Patterns and rules for sensitivity and elasticity in population projection matrices
Carslake, David, Townley, Stuart and Hodgson, David J.. (2009) Patterns and rules for sensitivity and elasticity in population projection matrices. Ecology, Vol.90 (No.11). pp. 3258-3267. ISSN 0012-9658

Sensitivity and elasticity analysis of population projection matrices (PPMs) are established tools in the analysis of structured populations, allowing comparison of the contributions made by different demographic rates to population growth. In some commonly used structures of PPM, however, there are mathematically inevitable patterns in the relative sensitivity and elasticity of certain demographic rates. We take a simulation approach to investigate these mathematical constraints for a range of PPM models. Our results challenge some previously proposed constraints on sensitivity and elasticity. We also identify constraints beyond those which have already been proven mathematically, and promote them as candidates for future mathematical proof. A general theme among these rules is that changes to the demographic rates of older or larger individuals have less impact on population growth than do equivalent changes among younger or smaller individuals. However, the validity of these rules in each case depends on the choice between sensitivity and elasticity, the growth rate of the population and the PPM structure used. If the structured population conforms perfectly to the assumptions of the PPM used to model it, the rules we describe represent biological reality, allowing us to prioritise management strategies in the absence of detailed demographic data. Conversely, if the model is a poor fit to the population (specifically; if demographic rates within stages are heterogeneous) such analyses could lead to inappropriate management prescriptions. Our results emphasise the importance of choosing a structured population model which fits the demographics of the population.

An off-duty New York City police officer who died in a in Nanuet on Sunday was struck by a passing car as she was lying on the roadway, according to State Police.
Investiagors are seeking witnesses to the accident to help in their probe of the death of Esther Sanzo, 37, of Manhattan.
A 2008 Ford SUV driven by Sanzo southbound on the parkway near the Exit 8 interchange hit a guard rail in the center median. Sanzo was ejected from the vehicle in the crash and landed on the roadway.
State Police say their investigation had revealed that Sanzo was struck by another vehicle in the left lane of the southbound parkway, just north of the Route 59 bridge.
When she was thrown from the vehicle, the SUV continued south until it hit the bridge.
Police are requesting that any witness who may have observed this accident contact Investigator Brendan J. Tumulty Jr. at 845-364-0200. The Rockland County Medical Examiner is conducting a post mortem autopsy to determine cause of death and or any other medically related issues.

Graph from Wilkhahn: classic conference chair for a modern era
How do you design a conference chair to suggest comfort but also symbolise distinctiveness and clarity? For Wilkhahn, a completely new approach was required to reconceptualise the classic values of a conference chair for the modern era. In response to this brief, German designers Markus Jehs and Jürgen Laub have devised Graph, an innovative family of conference chairs that meets the most demanding of requirements.
