Karl Johans Gate and District, Oslo
Oslo's main shopping and business street is Karl Johans Gate (partly pedestrianized), which runs northwest from the Central Station (Sentralbanestasjonen) to the Royal Palace. Southeast of the station, at Oslogate 13, is the Ladegård, a Baroque building (1725) which was restored between 1957 and 1968.
Transit: Central Station.
Related Attractions
Half way between Oslo's train station and Eidsvollplass, to the right, is the old market square, Stortorget, originally laid out in the late 17th century. In the center of the square can be seen a statue of Christian IV (by C. L. Jacobsen, 1874).
Oslo Cathedral
On the southeast side of Oslo's Stortorget is the Cathedral (consecrated 1697). The tower was rebuilt in 1849-50 by Alexis de Châteauneuf, a Hamburg architect, and the interior was renovated in 1948-50 under the direction of Arnstein Arneberg. The main doorway has bronze doors decorated with reliefs (1938). Notable features of the interior are the ceiling paintings (by H. L. Mohr, 1936-50; "God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost"), the Baroque pulpit and altar (ca. 1699), the organ-case (1727) and the stained glass by Emanuel Vigeland (1910-16). In the octagonal Chapel of the Redeemer (built on to the Cathedral in 1949-50) is a sculpture in silver by Arrigo Minerbi, "The Last Supper".
Bazaar Halls
Behind Oslo's Cathedral, along the old church walls, are the Bazaar Halls (1841-42, enlarged 1858), now occupied by craftsmen, antique-dealers and green grocers.
The busiest part of Oslo's Karl Johansgate begins to the south of Stortorget. To the west is Egertorget, an important junction point on the city's subway system (T-Banen).
Parliament Building
Beyond the intersection of Oslo's Karl Johansgate with Akersgate, on the left, is the Parliament Building (Storting; 1861-66). In the Chamber is a large picture by O. Wergeland of the constitutional assembly at Eidsvoll in 1814.
In Eidsvollplass, adjoining the Parliament Building, is a statue (by Bergslien) of the poet Henrik Wergland (1808-45). A short distance away lies the Studenterlund, originally a park with a bandstand, now the haunt of street musicians, with stalls selling a variety of wares.
J. H. Wessel Monument
To the south of the Norwegian Parliament Building, in Akersgate, can be seen a monument to the poet J. H. Wessel (1742-85). Opposite it is the Freemasons' Lodge.
New Theater
In Rosenkrantzgate (No. 10), which crosses Karl Johansgatet, is the Nye Teater (New Theater: modern plays, revues, etc.), which opened in 1929 with a performance of Knut Hamsun's play "At the Gates of the Kingdom".
National Theater
Northwest of Eidsvollplass is the National Theater, a neo-Classical building designed by H. Bull (1895-99). The interior is partly in art nouveau style, with fine ceiling paintings in the auditorium. In front of the building are bronze statues (by S. Sinding) of Ibsen and Bjørnson; to the rear is a statue of the actor J. Brun. Northeast of the National Theater, in the gardens on Karl Johansgate, is a statue of the playwright Ludvig Holberg, a native of Bergen, who created the Danish-Norwegian comedy.
City Hall
A little way south of the National Theater in Oslo, on Fridtjof Nansensplass, stands the monumental Town Hall (Rådhus; 1931-50), one of the city's great landmarks. This massive four-square building, built of concrete faced with brick, was designed by Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulson. It has two towers; in the one to the east is a carillon of 38 bells. The facade is decorated with sculpture and reliefs. The interior has rich fresco decoration by Henrik Sørensen, Per Krohg, Edvard Munch and other artists.Behind the Town Hall is the landing-stage from which boats leave for Bygdøy and various islands in the fjord and also for cruises.
Cruise Port
From here, majestic cruise ships depart for distant ports of call. While docked, these mighty ships are a spectacle for all to see.
Aker Brygge
Southwest of the landing-stage in Oslo, on the west side of the Pipervika dock, is the Aker Brygge, a shopping and cultural center in the former Aker shipyard (restored), with numerous restaurants. Near here is the old West Station, in which the Norwegian Information Center was established in 1991. Art and other exhibitions are also held here.
Old University
Northeast of the National Theater in Oslo, on the other side of Karl Johansgate, is the University, founded by Frederick VI of Denmark in 1811 and built between 1839 and 1854. The new University buildings are in the northwestern district of Blindern, and the old building is now occupied mainly by the Faculty of Law. In front of the central block are statues of the legal scholar A. M. Schweigaard (1808-70; on left) and the historian P. A. Munch (1810-63). The Great Hall (1911) has paintings by Edvard Munch (1926).
Norske Teater
To the east of Oslo's Old University, in Kristian IVs Gate, is the Norske Teater, Oslo's largest theater, famed for its musicals and productions of modern works by Norwegian and foreign playwrights.

Workplace Smoking Cessation Service
All businesses, whatever their size, can benefit from investing in the health of their employees. Healthier employees take less time off work and are more productive when at work. A significant proportion of the population still smoke and smoking-related conditions lead to high levels of ill-health which in turn result in absenteeism from work and a shortened working life.
The council is committed to helping local businesses assist employees to quit smoking by supporting this free service. Gillian Mc Atackney, Workplace Smoking Cessation Specialist can visit you on site, at your convenience, to provide expert guidance on what steps you can take to maximise your investment in your employees health through addressing smoking cessation at work.
For further information contact Gillian Mc Atackney (028) 2566 5803 or follow the web link www.want2stop.info/workplace

Cai Guo-Qiang's Sky Ladder and Mystery Circle Installations Is Mind Blowing
Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang's 'Sky Ladder' and 'Mystery Circle: Explosion Project for MOCA, Los Angeles' kicked off a few months ago with this spectacular pyrotechnic show at the gallery in LA. Mystery Circle involved blasting 40,000 rockets off the outside wall of the gallery which even on video is absolutely amazing to watch.
Cai had flying saucer girandolas rising from the rooftop, rockets forming crop circles launched toward the audience before falling to the ground and, following the blaze, an alien-god figure outlined from bottom to top by gunpowder fuse. This opening event was all part of the artists lifelong exploration of natural forces and extraterrestrial life in a project called 'Projects for Extraterrestrials'.
Although the explosive opening is over this exhibition is open until the 30th July and there's alot to see. There's a suspended sculptural installation that replicates the crop circles that have appeared in the grain fields all over the world, three gunpowder drawings; 'Childhood Spaceship' that reveals Cai's childhood reveries of the universe, 'Chaos in Nature' that portrays the unstoppable forces and natural disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc and 'Desire for Zero Gravity' which tells the story of a 16th Century Chinese official who attempted to catapult himself into outer space but was to perish in his homemade rocket chair instead.
Cai is well known for his explosion projects and gunpowder drawings (he directed the visual and special effects for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics) and I suggest you check out 'Black Ceremony' and 'Endless' which are both magnificent installations. One meditative the other explosive.

Montana Funded Programs and Activities
Sexual violence, including rape, is preventable. Recognizing this, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. This landmark legislation established the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The goal of the RPE program is to strengthen sexual violence prevention efforts. It operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and six U.S. territories.
Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA)
The Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA) program seeks to reduce the incidence (i.e., number of new cases) of IPV in funded communities. The program addresses the entire continuum of IPV from episodic violence to battering through a variety of activities.

I wish to be informed of news about the Hermès Group and I accept that my personal data may be communicated to Hermès companies.
Hermes shoulder bag in flax blue taurillon clemence leather (size GM)Silver and palladium plated hardware. Adjustable strap, outside pocket, leather tab closure, perforated leather plaque. Measures 13" x 12" x 4"
Ref. 056275CKJ7
Practical, imaginative, expert: a head of the Hermès Riding Department must think of everything. Évelyne Bertrand, who held that position in 1978, had decided to spare a thought for grooms who are also riders in love with their mounts. It was to enable them to carry brush, sponge, currycomb and other stable items soaked in horse-sweat, but without causing any damage, that the bag which now bears her name is constellated with air-holes. Their H-shape set in a horseshoe oval makes it so elegant that pedestrians and footsloggers generally have refused to let the riders have the thing to themselves. That is why the H of the Évelyne no longer suggests only material for grooming, but all kinds of other objects as well, all of them a help when thinking on the hoof.

I don't know if this is the correct place for such a topic...

For many of us, whether we consider ourselves gamers or not, our mobile device is our new digital battleground. And E3, though not overflowing with mobile titles, certainly has its share of the next potentially addictive time killers. "Motley Blocks," for example, could be one of the leading candidates to do just that.
"It's kinda like connect the dots, only it's connect the blocks," says Bryant Green of Square Enix, the company that designs "Motley Blocks." "Basically, you start by trying to make chains of little pixel pieces. If you're able to do this in a certain amount of time, it'll create a cool picture for you."
App developers, eager to set themselves apart from the thousands of titles already within app stores, are constantly coming up with games that almost create entirely new genres.
In "The Act," you feel like you're watching a show but the lead character is in constant need of a little nudge from you, which consists of just a simple swipe to the right or left. It has to be just right, though, as if you swipe too much, you blow it for him. If you show some patience, it pays off. "This is a complete, interactive, brand new 2D hand-animated adventure game," said Daniel Kraus of React Entertainment, the company that designs "The Act." "The idea is you become this character and guide the relationships this character has throughout the game."
In a place like E3 with hardcore gamers and giant screens, it can be tough for an app developer to get the recognition they're looking for. But that hasn't stopped some who say bigger isn't necessarily better. "Over time, I think you're going to see more and more hardcore content come to mobile in the form of apps," says Eros Resmini of GREE. "If you look at devices like iPads and Android tablets, the processing power is pretty significant. You can actually meet XBox Live quality."
Remember, games that are apps are on devices we already carry everywhere and cost anywhere from free to just a few dollars. Suddenly, it makes sense why some mobile games could easily outsell the bigger, flashier console titles that potentially cost anywhere from 10 to 60 times more to purchase and play.

WoW movie being penned by Private Ryan writer
MTV's scooped the writer of the World of Warcraft movie: it's Robert Rodat, the screenwriter behind Saving Private Ryan and The Patriot.
The info comes from a quote from Sam Raimi, zombie-turned-fantasy super-director:
"We want to be really faithful to the game…to the Horde and the Alliance and the mythology that takes place in the game, and the archetypes that the game presents. I think we would try and find touchstones within the game to make it accurate and true and choose one or some of the lands that are portrayed in the game with as much accuracy and authenticity as possible.
"But we would have our writer, Robert Rodat, really craft an original story within that world that feels like a 'World of WarCraft' adventure. Only obviously it's very different 'cause it's expanded and translated into the world of a motion picture."
Baddaboom. The movie's out in 2011.

Lady Gaga's Twitter feed has been on overload since midnight --and for good reason!
Today Lady Gaga celebrates her 26th birthday. With more than 23 million albums sold and five Grammy's, Gaga has accomplished more than most can ever dream of, all before hitting the age of 26!
Although Gaga, a.k.a Stefani Germanotta, is known for her over- the-top antics and cultivating one of the most loyal fan bases in music EVER, she doesn't let the fame get to her head.
Instead, she has used her celebrity to advocate for AIDS education and gay rights and, most recently she launched the "Born This Way Foundation" to combat bullying and other issues that affect young people.
Love or hate her, there's no debate over the impact Lady Gaga has had on the industry, and her immense popularity with fans is unquestioned.
The only question is how Gaga will celebrate?! Covered in meat inside an egg? Who knows!

All my family and friends praised my new hairstyle and said that it suits me more. :) so far, definitely my favourite Hair Salon! :D and it is worth the money!"

Alice Gold has done a lot of daring things; she bought a one-way ticket to America and travelled across the states in a 1978 Winnebago she won in a poker game, she lodged for free in a Luxebourg castle in exchange for English lessons, lived on a house boat in London, and perhaps the most daring of all, followed her songwriting dreams and recorded her debut album Seven Rainbows in 22 days, without funding from a record label... Inspired by everything psychedelic, Alice Gold arrives to Guest Edit I Like Music this week.

20. Minnie Riperton - Les Fleurs
Artist: Minnie Riperton Track: Les Fleurs Released: April, 1970 Label: GRT
I find it difficult to get through a month without a Les Fleurs euphoric moment. In fact, it is always the song I choose to play at the end of a long night, to send all to bed in style and warmth. If I had to explain to an alien from outer-space what a 'CHORUS' was in a song, I would use this as the most magnificent example of pure crescendo perfection.
Artist: Pink Floyd Album: Obscured by Clouds Released: 3rd June 1972 Label: Harvest, EMI
I've only recently discovered this album and love it. The band were already working on The Dark Side of the Moon, one of the first albums I fell in love with, but production was interrupted when the band travelled to France to score their soundtrack to the French film La Vallée by Barbet Schroeder.
The album is based on this score and has some great guitar hooks, sounds and lyrics. Stay, the penultimate song is classic Pink Floyd; a brilliantly stirring ballad with dry humour weaved nonchalantly into the second verse; first romantically luring the lady to 'Stay' the night, in the morning he 'racks my brain and try to remember you're name'...
Life is Flashing Before Your Eyes: Vince Collins 1984 animation
I've been scouring the internet for references for my album and video artwork and I'm always drawn to soulful psychedelia. I chose this video because I think the direct lyrics and animation are just awesome and take you off on a thoughtful psychedelic journey with pink floating elephants and dinosaurs along the way.
grab your chance otherwise time won't wait it always flies
life is flashing before your eyes
so live it up, idealize don't stop to compromise
life just keep flashing before your eyes...
The III Part - South Park Triliogy: Imagination Land
I was ill a few weeks back and ended up watching this. Along with the endless giggles and ridiculousness of the scenes, there is always a soulful SP message. This trilogy questions whether 'Imagination land' exists like the reality we live in. I found myself thinking about it in my ill, hallucinogenic state and realised that a lot of my writing is inspired by the idea of dreaming and the fine line that separates dreams from reality.
I think I've lived my life trying to get somewhere, reaching for things seemingly unattainable, sometimes reaching them and sometimes not. It is true after all that every invention ever made was once only a dream in someone's mind. The idea of Imagination Land as a real place is an important and appealing one because everyone needs to escape at times…as long as it doesn't include sucking on Cartman's balls! Hee hee ho ho.

EASLEY—In a season full of ups and downs, the Easley High baseball team finds itself in a familiar position heading into the post-season.
A veteran Green Wave squad earned a 16-8 regular season record, but head coach Roger Finley said he knows the toughest games are still ahead.
"In our bracket we've got Northwestern, Mauldin and Laurens," Finley said. "Needless to say that's a pretty tough bracket."
Easley opened the double elimination playoffs at Northwestern Thursday night and Finley said he believes his team is beginning to put some things together.
"We've had some good pitching and our bats are beginning to come around again," Finley said. "We went through a little slum there a couple weeks ago where we just weren't swinging the bats, but during the last two games our bats have come alive and we've hit the ball a lot better. We just have to get those timely hits during the playoffs."
The team's most crucial asset, according to Finley, is its experience.
"Some of our guys have been four year starters and have been playing together for quite some time so we've got some experience," Finley said. "Now that we're down to double elimination, we have to focus on staying in the winner's bracket. That makes it a whole lot easier because we could actually come back to Easley (for a home game) if we can win the first two."
Finley said, despite having to go on the road, his team will not be easily intimidated.
"We've been here before," Finley said. "We've got playoff experience. It's not like this is our first go around. We've been there and done that, so our kids aren't going to be scared whatsoever. We just have to get guys on base and connect with timely hits."
Now that the Green Wave have secured a playoff spot, Finley said his team can begin a new season.
"We got in the playoffs. That was our goal. Once you get there, you never know what's going to happen," Finley said. "We've been a four-seed before and we've come back to win the district championship. We're not concerned with our seed; we're just concerned with ourselves."
Easley's playoff success will likely come down to defense and timely hitting, according to Finley.
"The playoffs are about pitching, defense and timely hitting," Finley said. "If we can play the way we're supposed to I feel we'll be able to make a run."

Several houses were evacuated Saturday afternoon as police investigated whether a hand grenade was inside an apartment at 349 Winslow St.
A portion of Winslow Street was blocked off for more than three hours and the Fort Drum bomb squad was called to the scene, a Jefferson County 911 dispatcher said.
Acting Battalion Chief Robert D. Seeber of the Watertown City Fire Department said the incident began at about 1:10 p.m. when city police went to make an arrest at that address. It later was determined that the suspicious device actually was an urn that resembled a grenade and contained human ashes, he said.
Neighbors were anxious throughout the incident that ended shortly before 4:30 p.m., especially when the bomb squad showed up with an explosive-detecting robot that was used in front of the duplex.
Thats when I got nervous, said expectant mother Christine S. Wade, whose baby shower across the street was interrupted by the incident.
Her father, Robert L. Wade, said police cars blocked off a portion of the street from both ends while police, firefighters and the bomb squad tried to figure out the situation. Neighbors from about five houses were told to leave their homes until officials determined it was safe to return, he said.
They told the 20 baby shower guests to either go inside the home or head to the backyard, he said. Several of them were just arriving when the incident began, Ms. Dade said.
There were cops all over the place, Mr. Wade said.
The unidentified man who lives there was suicidal, a police officer at the station said, declining further comment because he was not at the scene.
Ms. Wade said the man was escorted out of the house by police, handcuffed and bloodied. He was taken to an ambulance, but his condition and whereabouts were not known Saturday night.
The man, who has lived there a short time, was the husband of a woman killed April 29 in an accident on Mill Street in which she jumped out of a moving vehicle and was dragged underneath, the father and daughter said. On Saturday night, neither police nor fire officials could not confirm that.
The man had fought in either Iraq or Afghanistan and was severely wounded in the war, they said.
He seemed really nice, she said. Hes been going through a lot.
A month after the accident, police determined that Angela C. Perdue, 24, whose address was listed at that apartment, did not intend to die, but she jumped out of the car of her own volition. The vehicles driver, John C. Preston, 24, Dayton, Ohio, was cited with third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle.

Your best moment of these Games
To start:
For me, it was that big German weightlifter Matthias Steiner winning the gold in the 105kg competition, overcoming his grief at the death of his wife who died in a car accident in July last year. A different kind of courage. http://www.smh.com.au/news/weightlif...911797232.html

Benjamin Boukpeti taking the bronze for Togo- it should have been more, but you can't begrudge him The coxless four final was a superb race: "THE BRITISH ARE COMING! THE BRITISH ARE COMING!", felt sorry for Australia but even if they'd held on it would have been brilliant. The team sprint victory, the first GB gold on the track, because I was concerned they wouldn't live up to the hype but as soon as that happened I knew it would be okay. Or better than okay. The sculler twins from NZ taking the final by 100th of a second. Kirsty Coventry single-handedly octupling Zimbabwe's medal count- eight medals in history, seven of them to her. Brian Dzingai was another highlight, finishing fourth in the 200m after the two DSQs.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'lamia' tag.
On the final leg of their recent North American tour, Noh-Wave craze and progressive rock/rock opera/something-or-other heartthrobs Yamantaka // Sonic Titan dropped by Toronto this weekend and ended up playing three shows (the Garrison, Sonic Boom and Sneaky Dee's), the latter two of which I had the opportunity to check out. Both shows were amazing, and I got to hear their upcoming single "Lamia" twice, which to me felt a bit more traditionally rock-ish for the band, yet fit in well with their other material. Ruby Kato Attwood's vocals in particular felt more like a direct emotional appeal to the listener, as opposed to some other compositions in which the band effectively draws in the audience through repetition and gradually intensifying rhythms.
It was interesting to see the band play at Toronto record store Sonic Boom in part just because I've never seen them perform during the day before. I think the band would agree that they are ultimately creatures of the night, however they were surrounded on stage in this case both by mirrors and daylight and they survived so it seems at least plausible that they are in fact not vampires. Next time I'll be sure to toss some garlic at them from the audience just to be sure.

EDMONTON — Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths is facing heat for suggesting in the legislature Wednesday that urban dwellers in Alberta are leeches living off the work and resources of their country cousins.
"You could be asked by rural Albertans why 17 per cent of the population that lives in rural Alberta that has all the oil and gas revenue, does all the work, all the farms, all the agriculture and everything associated with it goes to support urban Albertans, who sit in highrise condos and don't necessarily contribute to the grassroots of this economy," he told the legislature.
Opposition MLAs are calling on the former Tory leadership candidate to apologize to Albertans for the remark, made during question period, and questioned how he can continue in his job if he has a bias against urban centres.
Griffiths, who made the remark in response to a tax redistribution question from Liberal MLA Laurie Blakeman, later told reporters that's not his personal view, but the view of some rural Albertans.
"I'm pointing out what rural Albertans feel," said Griffiths, MLA for the rural riding of Battle River-Wainwright.
"Ms. Blakeman made it very clear how urbanites feel: there's too much money in rural Alberta, they're sitting on all this wealth, we need to use it in the city," Griffiths said.
"I guarantee you that rural Albertans would say, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, we're using that (tax money) to build our infrastructure and our economy, and we help drive the economy, too.'"
Griffiths, whose comments were shouted down in the house, said he was dismayed by the prevailing us-versus-them attitude and urged rural and urban Albertans and their political leaders to work together to resolve their differences over issues such as taxation and annexation.
Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who has had his own war of words with the combative minister, noted 83 per cent of Albertans live in cities and that Calgary taxpayers send $4 billion more a year to other parts of the province than they get back in all provincial services.
"We're the ones who pay the taxes," Nenshi said. "I sure hope the minister is not insulting all those taxpaying citizens by insinuating they don't do anything productive."
He said Griffiths comments were not only unfair and insulting, but also untrue.
"The engineers, the geologists, the geophysicists, the financiers — the people who make the energy economy work — happen to be sitting in those highrise buildings. And that is, in fact, how the economy is driven."
Blakeman, MLA for the downtown riding of Edmonton Centre, was pointing out the inequity of a linear tax that provides $28 per capita in urban areas compared with nearly $2,000 per capita in rural areas. The Liberal MLA said she wanted the minister to redistribute nearly $1.5 billion in tax revenue more fairly.
"I get called all kinds of names," Blakeman said. "I can take it, but I am really offended on behalf of my constituents. I just think it was inappropriate to call people living in urban condos leeches."
Liberal Leader Raj Sherman said the municipal affairs minister must apologize.
"I am disappointed that a minister of the province made such disrespectful comments about the majority of Albertans," Sherman said. "Doug Griffiths needs to apologize to Albertans and the premier needs to explain why there is such a tax inequality between rural and urban Albertans."
Wildrose finance critic Rob Anderson said he hoped the minister of municipal affairs didn't really feel that way about cities and their contribution to the provincial economy.
"If that was what he believed it would be one of the most ignorant statements possible by anybody, let alone the municipal affairs minister," he said. "I would hope that he would apologize for the remarks. ... He needs to control his temper a little bit and not use divisive language that pits rural Albertans against those in cities."

ROCK HILL – Newberry College women's basketball sophomores Haylee Lepaio and Samantha Creed has been named to the All-South Atlantic Conference First Team.
The selection of Lepaio and Creed, which was announced Wednesday, marks the first time the Wolves have had multiple All-SAC honorees since the 2009-10 season when Anita Bulcher was named to the All-SAC First Team and Helen McKinney earned All-SAC Second Team honors.
Creed and Lepaio's selections to the All-SAC First Team, mark the first time that more than one Newberry woman has been named to the conference first team.
Both Newberry players earned their first ever All-SAC First Team selection.
Creed finished third in the SAC in scoring average with 15.3 points per game and was the conference champion in free throw percentage at 86.5-percent. Creed made her collegiate debut by scoring 28 points in the Wolves' 64-58 win over UNC Pembroke, a performance that led Creed to be named SAC Player of the Week and to the OrthoCarolina Classic All-Tournament Team.
Creed scored in double-digits on 23 times in the regular season and surpassed 20 points four times. In Newberry's 75-66 home victory over Carson-Newman, Creed scored 35 points and entered the Newberry record books with the fourth most single game points in school history.
Creed was also among the conference leaders in assists and steals, notching over five assists in a game nine times and over three steals in a game on seven occasions.
Lepaio, the reigning SAC Freshman of the Year, was an All-SAC Second Team selection a year ago and was also named to the SAC All-Freshman Team. Regionally, Lepaio earned DAKTRONICS All-Southeast Region Second Team honors a year ago.
This season Lepaio led the SAC in scoring with 18.5 points per game and finished second in rebounding average with 8.8 rebounds per game. A preseason All-SAC First Team selection, Lepaio was named to the OrthoCarolina Classic All-Tournament Team at the start of the season as she helped lead the Wolves to a 2-0 opening weekend.
Lepaio earned SAC Player of the Week honors on three occasions. The Wolves' post notched double-digit scoring on 24 occasions and surpassed 20 points in 11 games. Nine times this season, Lepaio not only reached 10 rebounds, but she posted a double-double. Lepaio also blocked more than three shots in a game on five occasions.

Wauneta, NE

Love these wrenches. The cross force design fits much nicer in your hand. As far as organizing them in a drawer, they are no different than a regular wrench. I used the universal tool divider system and switched the directions the cutouts faced. Works perfect and worth every penny.
, San Dieo CA
via sears.com
Good - These are very sturdy and well built. They should last a life time and if they don't you just bring them in and they'll be replaced (though I don't see any problems arising). The crossforce thing makes them very comfortable in your hand and the reversability means they won't get jammed on a bolt in a tight space. Bad - Because of the crossforce design they don't lay flat so if you want to put them in a thin drawer of your toolbox you may have issues. This also means they won't fit in any wrench organizer. This isn't a big deal but it would be nice if they made an organizer for crossforce wrenches. These are also very expensive. You can buy the work force version for less but I don't beleive they carry the same waranty. Overall they are great and you do get what you pay for but if I was on a budget I'd pick another brand.

Updated: February 25, 2013
The relocation of Gus Anderson Field was on the Millcreek School Board's agenda.
Board members voted unanimously to keep the field where it already stands.
The initial project to move the field across from where it's already located would have cost an estimated $10M.

Monday Brief
Does Religion Matter in a Free Republic?
The Foundation
"[R]eligion and virtue are the only foundations, not of republicanism and of all free government, but of social felicity under all government and in all the combinations of human society." --John Adams
"[T]he current and future role of the Bible in U.S. society is an often-debated topic. A new release from Barna Group shows how this debate plays out regionally and takes a look at how 96 of the largest cities in the nation view the Bible. ... Individuals who report reading the Bible in a typical week and who strongly assert the Bible is accurate in the principles it teaches are considered to be Bible-minded. ... Regionally, the South still qualifies as the most Bible-minded. ... This includes the media markets for Knoxville, TN (52% of the population are Bible-minded), Shreveport, LA (52%), Chattanooga, TN (52%), Birmingham, AL (50%), and Jackson, MS (50%). ... Easily the lowest Bible-minded scores came from Providence, RI (9%) and Albany, NY (10%). ... The New England area is home to most of the markets in the bottom 10 Bible-minded cities, including Burlington, VT (16%), Portland, ME (16%), Hartford, CT (16%), Boston, MA (16%), Buffalo, NY (18%) and New York, NY (18%). The remaining markets in the bottom 10 are primarily in the West and include San Francisco, CA (16%), Phoenix, AZ (17%), and Las Vegas, NV (18%). ... See all 96 cities here. ... Whether you live in a city ranked in the top half of Bible-minded cities or in the bottom half of Bible-minded cities, there are still tens of thousands of people to reach regarding both the message of the Scriptures and their importance. ... The key is to not merely 'preach to those insiders' but instead to equip and empower those who do believe with a strong and relevant message to take out into their communities, vocations and spheres of influence. They are the tipping point and can have great influence on the greater city." --The Barna Group
For the Record
"The Obama administration's announcement that it is going to put women in front-line ground combat positions is but the latest example of a deliberate and systematic wrecking operation it has conducted against the armed forces since 2009. ... Among the many, well-documented problems with assigning women to line infantry positions are three intractable ones: Most women lack the physical upper-body strength and stamina of most men. ... It is impossible as a practical matter to provide for separation of the sexes in frontline positions. That guarantees a loss of privacy and greatly increases the chances of pregnancies and harassment that: profoundly affects the personnel immediately involved; causes degrading of their units' warfighting capabilities; and traumatizes their families or, at a minimum, erodes the essential support for uniformed service that those loved ones provide. Men frequently will feel the need to protect women in dangerous situations, particularly if there is an emotional attachment between them. The effect in combat situations can be to complicate, if not to undermine entirely, the disciplined execution of orders that can prove to be the difference between victory and defeat. ... Unfortunately, thanks in part to the hollowing out of America's armed forces and other officially approved measures that are empowering and emboldening our enemies, the world is becoming a more dangerous place by the day. By replacing Ronald Reagan's historically validated philosophy of 'peace through American strength' with the unfounded hope for peace despite American weakness, President Obama is setting the stage for conflicts we will be unable to deter and, failing that, may be hard pressed to win." --Center for Security Policy President Frank J. Gaffney Jr.
Essential Liberty
"Hunting, according to these wizards of odd, is what [the Left] think our founding fathers had in mind when they penned that pesky Second Amendment, and according to these control freaks we don't need a tactical weapon with a high capacity magazine to hunt with. First off, dipsticks, the Second Amendment has nada to do with hunting. The founding fathers weren't worried about their right to put the bam to Bambi (although we should be because progressives hate hunting and would love nothing more than to bring that activity to a grinding halt). If you don't believe me, just corner one of these little darlings and ask them what they think about hunting. Secondly, who are they to tell us what we 'need' or don't need when it comes to anything? Typical of the Left, they think they know what's best for we the people. If you want to talk about 'needs,' Ms. Leftist, we don't need iPhones, Porsches, crazy straws, American Idol, beer, leaf blowers, and I don't need a gorgeous Italian wife. But that's America, folks. Stay out of our business." --columnist Doug Giles
Re: The Left
"I'm getting sick and tired of the Obama administration using children selectively in order to help the president advocate his public policy positions. ... As I sat and watched Obama surrounded by little human political shields, three things struck me as being especially hypocritical: 1. Just a few years ago, the president would have supported murdering all of those children by dismemberment. 2. The president would have classified their dismemberment as 'health care' within a comprehensive reform package necessary to preserve the well-being of children, and finally 3. All the children at the press conference were protected from being murdered at that particular moment by government agents carrying concealed weapons. But it got worse as the day went on. ABC News and other outlets began circulating letters written to Obama by children wishing to weigh in on current public policy debates. That's normal, of course. Children always weigh in on public policy debates without being prodded by liberal parents who never left childhood themselves. And everyone knows it makes sense to base public policy decisions on the recommendations of children." --columnist Mike Adams
The Gipper
"Mightn't it be better in those areas of high crime to arm the homeowner and the shopkeeper, teach him how to use his weapons and put the word out to the underworld that it is no longer totally safe to rob and murder? ... Criminals are not dissuaded by soft words, soft judges or easy laws. They are dissuaded by fear and they are prevented from repeating their crimes by death or by incarceration. In my opinion, proposals to outlaw or confiscate guns are simply unrealistic panacea. We are never going to prevent murder; we are never going to eliminate crime; we are never going to end violent action by the criminals and the crazies -- with or without guns." --Ronald Reagan

"Over the 50-plus years since 1960, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, entitlement transfers ... have been growing twice as fast as overall personal income. Government transfers now account for nearly 18% of all personal income in America -- up from 6% in 1960. According to the BEA, America's myriad social-welfare programs ... currently dispense entitlement benefits of more than $2.3 trillion annually. ... Today, entitlement programs account for nearly two-thirds of federal spending. In other words, welfare spending is nearly twice as much as defense, justice and everything else Washington does -- combined. In effect, the federal government has become an entitlements machine. According to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly half (49%) of Americans today live in homes receiving one or more government transfer benefits. ... Transfers funded by other people's money tend to foster a pernicious 'something for nothing' mentality -- especially when those transfers seem to be progressively and relentlessly growing, year by year. This 'taker' mentality can only weaken civil society -- even as it places ever-heavier burdens on taxpayers. Generosity is a virtue.... But being generous with other people's money is not the same thing." --American Enterprise Institute's Nicholas Eberstadt
Opinion in Brief
"What Obama spends ... the most important part [of his inaugural speech] doing is enunciating the liberal rationale for junking the intentions of the Founders and replacing them with their own. It is a rationale for creating Socialism on the framework of freedom: That in order for values like equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to be realized in modern society, government must act to safeguard them. If government does not protect you with millions of pages of regulations, greedy capitalists will steal your freedoms; if government does not save man from his worst instincts, man will destroy the earth with non-biodegradable potato chip cannisters; if government does not pay to train workers and invest in the right technologies, people will be too stupid to do it on their own; and if government does not provide a safety net even for those who can succeed by themselves, then all people might not live the lives of their dreams. Jefferson, Adams, Madison and Franklin trusted the people with a Republic. Liberals say the people can no longer be trusted alone with such things. ... Jefferson wanted to guarantee the pursuit of happiness. Obama wants to guarantee happiness. The former is the philosophy of capitalism. The latter is Socialism, which uses government to reduce freedom, not create it. This is not what the Founders intended." --columnist Keith Koffler
Faith and Family
"A conservative conserves all American values, not just economic ones. By 'social conservatism,' I am referring to the second and third components of what I call the American Trinity -- liberty, 'In God We Trust' and 'E Pluribus Unum.' It is worth noting that a similar bifurcation does not exist on the left. One never hears the term 'fiscal liberals.' Why not? Because those who consider themselves liberals are liberal across the board -- fiscally and socially. The left understands that values are a package. Apparently, many conservatives -- libertarians, for example -- do not. They think that we can sustain liberty while ignoring God and religion and ignoring American nationalism and exceptionalism. It is true that small government and liberty are at the heart of the American experiment. But they are dependent on two other values: a God-based religious vigor in the society and the melting pot ideal. Or, to put it another way, small government and fiscal conservatism will not survive the victory of social leftism." --radio talk-show host Dennis Prager
Reader Comments
"As usual, in his essay 'I, Barack Hussein Obama...', Mark Alexander displays perfectly good sense and a well-grounded understanding of the provisions of the Constitution. This president doesn't seem to possess the intellectual capacity to understand either the actual provisions of the Constitution or its background. To me, that is not surprising since his education never really focused on seeing what makes this country so attractive. His whole concern seems to be to 'bring it down a notch or two.' His 'work' background is laughable. He has spent his 'adult life' questioning the accomplishments of others and/or fomenting unhappiness. Thank you, Mark, for your ability to 'translate' this president's hollow words." --Roger in Poulsbo, Washington
"Keeping the president from overstepping the bounds of the Constitution depends on a healthy opposition and we do not have one. The GOP is a joke and a bad one at that. They sound like accountants and bankers and have forgotten how to talk to the folks who vote. They bow down to Reagan but have forgotten how he was able to win and how to do what he did." --Bill in Leawood, Kansas
"When I raised my right hand many years ago I promised to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It is an absolute and binding document and no president or Congress has ever felt that it should be changed to suit the whims of any who might achieve high office. Thousands of Americans have died to keep this Constitution intact and unalterable. It must be so forever if we are to continue to be the United States of America." --John in Ledyard, Connecticut
"You spoke of Barack Obama's 'poker tells' of UH and fumbling his words. There are so many more, but my other favorite is 'Let me be clear...' which is most often followed by a meaningless promise to the great masses on the Left, or a bellicose challenge to his opponents." --Lane in San Antonio, Texas
"Thank you for picking up on the fact that there IS a difference between 'assault' weapons and defensive weapons in Friday's Digest. I have been beating this drum for a LONG time. I am glad someone who has a greater audience finally picked it up! Thank you!!" --bmwsid in New York
"When James Madison presented the Second Amendment to the Delegates, he said that his purpose was 'to keep the government in fear of an armed and aroused populace.' And that, friends and neighbors, is what the Democrats are afraid of. It's not about anything else." --Rifleman in Nawth Jawja
"Rather than a reduction in firearm capacities, how about a reduction in the number of low-information freeloaders that vote for wealthy, self-centered, arrogant elitists like Dianne Feinstein." --William in Plano, Texas
The Last Word
Editor's Note: The following is satire.
"Breaking news: Obama's remarks, widely celebrated for their eloquence and good sense, were in fact crafted by his speechwriters in direct response to a draft of a planned Romney inaugural address that they somehow got hold of. An excerpt of Romney's address [follows]: 'We have learned from the last four years that it is a mistake to rely on each other and to work together. It is my firm belief that one man, by himself, can train the nation's math and science teachers -- and probably, if he really tries, the nation's English teachers as well. One man, acting alone, can build all the labs and networks and roads we need. When he is not training those teachers. Yeah, I'm talking about the same guy. What we must resolve never to do is work alongside one another. Also, children born in the bleakest poverty must learn to accept their fate. The way to reform entitlements is to stop taking care of the generation that built this country. We've just got to go cold turkey on that. And we must commit ourselves to perpetual war...' Man, this nation really dodged a bullet." --National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru
