text: Amarillo, TX - Every once in a while, a love comes along unlike any other. One Amarillo couple is ready to defy the odds and solidify their union. It's a love story that has spanned throughout the ages. What started out as a high school romance for Kenneth Butler and Sharon Moore ended at that but now, many years later, this couple has reconnected and showing us all that love has no age limit. And for Butler's son, Ryan, it was an honor to officiate the ceremony and something he knew he had to be a part of. Ryan flew in from Maryland to be part of the ceremony as family and residents from Hillside Heights gathered to watch and family from across the nation were also able to view the ceremony via Skype. Even though Medicare prevented the couple from calling it a marriage, the commitment ceremony was nothing shy of anything but love and the rituals of a real wedding.

Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rafterhouse from Product review Recently my company purchased the 36" undermount single basin stainless steel kitchen sink with apron front. Once we received it I inspected it completely for any scratches, dings, or flaws in the design before installing it. Since, I have purchased sinks like this in the past and have found issues with them. Luckily, there was nothing wrong with this one. The sink actually looks very elegant and great with white cabinets. It helps give a kitchen a modern feel. The install went great. My installer needed to install some additional cabinet fillers on the side to fill the gaps. In addition some additional support on the bottom of the sink. Mainly, for a "just in case" a heavy pot is placed in the sink. I would recommend this sink if you are looking for a large single basin. I LOVE it! It looks great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by petro from Fantastic sink, drain is not so fantastic. I bought this sink about a month ago, it is great. The drain is cheap so I purchased a better drain. ( I did't buy the sink for the drain). The sink is 16 Gauge SS very heavy. I purchased the 36" sink to fit in my 36"sink base. Looks great fits fine. Some altreations had to be done to the base but it looks fantastic.

DC United has announced today that the club has acquired veteran defender Robbie Russell from Real Salt Lake for a first round pick in the 2013 Supplemental Draft.
Russell comes to DC following four seasons with RSL, where he played 78 regular season matches (68 starts). Some may remember Russell as the player who finished off the Los Angeles Galaxy in the penalty-kick shootout in the 2009 MLS Cup.
Russell will be a versatile player for Ben Olsen as he can play the fullback role, as well as defensive midfielder or center back. During the 2011 season, Russell played in 26 matches for RSL (22 starts), recording two assists in 1,809 minutes of action.
The right-back was eligible for the Re-Entry Draft - beginning next week - since he was out of contract. DC was able to snag the veteran defender before allowing other clubs to work out a new contract with him in the Re-Entry process.
The Black-and-Red basically gave up next to nothing to get Russell as well. A first round pick in the Supplemental Draft isn't expected to be a player that contributes much to a club these days in MLS.
RSL on the other hand opens up a bit of cap-space now that Russell is off the books. The 31-year old fullback made $134-thousand in total compensation in 2011. Getting that off the books will be a huge help for a club that will be headed back to the CONCACAF Champions League in 2012.

The Everett Herald has this story.
The Seattle Times has this story.
Sunday, November 25, is a critical date in the looming confrontation between Boeing and its White Collar engineers union, SPEEA. This is the date the current contract terminates.
After this date, both sides are basically free to escalate short of a lockout or a strike. SPEEA is gearing up to have another contract vote and the leadership has already basically rejected the second Boeing offer. A strike vote still has to be taken before SPEEA could strike. Based on our conversations, we don't see the prospect of a strike until after the first of the year–if at all. The union isn't known for its willingness to walk out.
After members rejected Boeing first contract proposal with a 96% vote, things initially appeared to improve between labor and management. The good will turned out to be short-lived.
Rhetoric is heating up and by all appearances, it seems that SPEEA may well be headed toward a second contract rejection. Work-to-rules and refusal of voluntary overtime is already underway. Large demonstrations have taken place.
What happens after the contract terminates remains to be seen. We're not optimistic about the next several weeks.

Gering council pushing forward on McKinley housing project
The Gering city council Tuesday night moved to put four lots up for sale as part of a planned residential housing project in the square block formerly occupied by the demolished McKinley elementary school. The property around the school was purchased by the city in conjunction with Western Nebraska Housing Opportunities and the help of a $470,000 state housing grant.
The four lots will be sold for $10,000 and homes must be constructed by the end of January in 2015 according to City Engineer Paul Snarr. Snarr says there has been good interest from contractors.
Ten homes in all will be built on the square block, several by the Gering High construction class. Another one or two may be built by Magnolia homes. Habitat for Humanity is also interested in building on the square block.

Springfield, Mass. - October 27, 2012 - In its season-opener, the Springfield College women's swimming and diving team took to the pool to best visiting Holy Cross, 173.5-121.5, on Saturday afternoon in the Art Linkletter Natatorium.
The team of Kelsey Poole, Nicolle Stracqualursi, Kellie Pennington, and Amanda Shaw took the 400 yard medley relay with a time 4:07.77.

Molly Potter bested all swimmers in the 200 yard butterfly as she touched with a time of 2:22.03 for Springfield.
Pennington, the reigning national champion in the 50 freestyle, kept the momentum going for the Pride as she captured the 50 free in 24.04 seconds.
The diving team put out an impressive showing as they had the top three finishers in the one meter diving, as Jennifer Thompson, Paige Rhodes, and Melanie Avdoulos finished in that order. Their scores, in order, were 251.46, 214.19, and 195.89. They put out on equally impressive showing and finished in the same order in the three meter diving with scores of 271.95, 252.15, and 208.72.
Phillips and Poole finished 1-2 in the 100 yard freestyle with 55.11 and 56.29 as finishing times. Monroe dominated the 500 yard freestyle as she finished in 5:17.38, more than 20 seconds ahead of the second place finisher from Holy Cross.
Pennington continued her excellence on the day by capturing the 100 yard butterfly in 1:01.84. The Pride closed out the afternoon with a 1:40.57 in the 200 free relay from the team of Pennington, Phillips, Poole, and Shaw.

Freedman fancies Albion test
11:00am Saturday 24th November 2012 in Albion By Brian Owen
Bolton boss Dougie Freedman believes his side are improving as they head into today's game against Albion.
Wanderers are unbeaten in four games since Freedman left Crystal Palace to take charge at the Reebok.
They let slip leads in recent games away to Blackpool and at home to Barnsley, both of which were drawn.
Freedman said: "I think we are slowly building in confidence and starting to look like a team capable of keeping clean sheets and winning football matches.
"There is now a structure in place and we're going forward with a game plan. Have we taken advantage of that so far? Maybe not, with results. But I see there is some form of momentum."
Bolton expect central defender Zat Knight to shake off a minor hip problem in time for the game.
Freedman has switched them from 4-4-2 to a 4-2-3-1 set-up with Kevin Davies at the sharp end.
- I'm expecting some banter - Freedman in The Argus today.

Bolton; seem to be coming to terms with their loss of status after a number of years in the Premiership. In my humble view, the dark horses of the championship. Difficult game today, but provided the Albion keep the tempo high, then no reason not to come away with three points. (I Hope)

Ban the Richmond 80/20 grading system
The 80/20 grading system here at the Richmond schools is not helping our students. Many of the students are not great test takers, whether its having text anxiety or just getting very nervous when testing. Did this really have to be such a drastic change so quickly? Teachers have to make 2 different tests, which takes away from planning other assignments, double checking tests and changing grades...is this necessary? A grade is not based just on testing. Homework, projects, classwork, group involvement and testing are all part of a final grade. This whole grading system is just stressing out too many students.

Dolphins RB Reggie Bush has been ruled out for the Week 17 regular-season finale against the Jets with a knee injury.
Bush hurt the knee in last Saturday's game against the Patriots. He finishes the 2011 season with career-high marks across the board in terms of rushing, with 216 carries for 1,086 yards and six touchdowns. He added 43 receptions for 296 yards.
Rookie RB Daniel Thomas, who has been quiet this season, will likely get the start and get a lot of touches. He has 153 carries for 553 yards this season. He had 15 carries for 47 yards and a catch for 12 yards in the Week Six game against the Jets.
The Jets need a win against Miami and help to make the playoffs.

Mushu knew that in order for Mulan to perform well as a soldier she would need to start the day with a hearty breakfast. When she peered into the bowl of porridge he offered, she found a face comprised of fried egg eyes and a bacon strip mouth smiling up at her. Here's how you, too, can transform a bowl of pudding into a treat that will result in smiles all around.
Vanilla or butterscotch pudding
A marshmallow
Confectioner's sugar
Waxed paper
2 yellow M&M candies
A Bull's Eye or other caramel candy
- Spoon a serving of pudding into a medium-size bowl and smooth the surface.
- Make a pair of "fried egg eyes" by slicing a marshmallow in half and sprinkling confectioner's sugar on the sticky sides. Sandwich the marshmallow halves between two pieces of waxed paper and use the rolling pin to flatten them to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Set the flattened marshmallows atop the pudding where the eyes go. Then top each marshmallow with a yellow M&M placed printed side down.
- To create a "bacon strip mouth," microwave the Bulls Eye or other caramel candy for up to 6 seconds to slightly soften it. Then, flatten the candy between waxed paper as you did the marshmallow pieces, rolling it into a strip about 4 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Place the bacon strip atop the pudding, curving it slightly into a smile.

Dinner our first evening together is fun and casual; Saturday night is a more upscale yet relaxed affair, and you are the guests of The B&B Team for both, plus your lunch on Saturday.

In addition to the seminar on starting a bed and breakfast itself, as a graduate you will be eligible for a personal, half day planning session with one of us at our office or over the phone.

We will cover the same material as in the full weekend seminar but without as much time for exercises, questions, and tangents. If you can't spare a whole weekend, this is a great alternative, and we will schedule individual consultations on Sunday for those who want to stick around. Instructors: Scherman & Wolf or Bushnell & Bushnell.

---- — ANDOVER — During Lent, faithfuls depend on prayer, fasting and almsgiving to help them in their journey toward Easter.
Area churches and schools are assisting members in imparting their goods with others.
Students at St. Augustine School are collecting donations to help the Sisters of Notre Dame purchase water purification packets for their missions in rural areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Nigeria.
Money collected at St. Augustine School will also benefit Hogar Infantil, an orphanage sponsored by Augustinians in Tijuana, Mexico.
"Part of our mission is to follow in Jesus' footsteps who was always reaching out to those in need," said Mary Fergurson. "This is our way of imitating them."
Fifth graders Sean Palmer and Katharyne Harrington, both of North Andover were more than eager to help.
"We're learning that it is good to be kind to others," Katharyne said.
Last year, the Sisters of Notre Dame partnered with Procter & Gamble makers of the packets and buy them at a reduced cost from an in-country P&G distributor.
Sisters of Notre Dame water purification packets in Third World countries. St. Augustine Parish in Andover, each grade in the religious education program has been assigned food items to provide Easter dinners and baskets to needy families through Lazarus House. Students will be collecting everything from canned corn, peas and string beans, packaged cornbread, cake and brownie as well as Easter candies, chocolate and Easter toys.
At St. Augustine Parish, students in the religious education program are working with Lazarus House, Inc. to provide Easter dinner and baskets to needy families. First through eighth graders and students in the confirmation classes have been assigned food items ranging from canned vegetables, rice, canned soup as well as Easter candy and toys.
The Religious Education classes in first to fifth grade at St. Michael's parish in North Andover will be focusing on the children who go to Bread and Roses, a meal center in Lawrence. Students will collect packets of hot chocolate, mini marshmallows, school supplies including pencils, crayons, erasers, markers and glue sticks.
St. Robert Bellarmine in Andover is encouraging parishioners to donate items that reflect the Sunday's readings. For example, the reading tomorrow is "One does not live on bread alone," from Luke 4:1-13. Since bread is made from grain, members can bring pasta for Catholic Charities.
On Feb. 24, members are asked to bring soap for the New England Center for Homeless Veterans. That day's reading from Luke 9:28-36 which reads, "His face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white." Other suggested donations include formula, shelf-stable milk or honey for Neighbors in Need, Cereal for Tewksbury community Pantry, drink boxes for Bread and Roses in Lawrence and men's or women's shirt or sweater for Lazarus House.
Catholics also take part in the Rice Bowl, a faith formation program used in parishes, schools, religious education programs and at home. Members receive a box in which they place the money they would have been used for things they give up such as cigarettes, soft drinks or junk food.
Catholic Relief Services helps more than 100 million of the world's poor each year. Nearly 13,000 parishes and schools across the United States participate in Rice Bowl each Lent. Twenty-five percent of donations go to hunger and poverty alleviation efforts in your own community. Seventy-five percent of donations support the agency's humanitarian relief programs in 100 countries around the world.
For the past 16 years, Communities Together have held a diaper and underwear drive during its Wednesday Lenten services in Greater Lawrence. Diapers and underwear can be dropped off at Forest Street Union Church, Methuen, Feb. 20; West Parish, Andover, Feb. 27, Lawrence General Hospital, March 6; First Calvary Baptist, North Andover, March 13 and Rolling Ridge Conference Center, North Andover, March 20. The items collected are then donated to social service agencies in Lawrence and Haverhill.
Jews celebrate Purim with festival, merriment
Purim, a Jewish holy day celebrating Jewish salvation, begins Feb. 23 at sundown.
During the two-day festival, the Megillah, or the scroll of Esther is read, where the story is found in the Torah. In the story, Queen Esther persuades the king not to kill the Jews as planned by the king's chief adviser Haman in 356 BCE (before the common era). Purim literally means "lots" because Haman chose the day to kill Jews by holding a lottery.
As the story is read in the synagogue, every time Haman's name is mentioned during the reading, congregants stomp their feet and use noise makers called greggars to drown his name. As part of the celebration, members wear costumes depicting a theme or their favorite Purim character.
Temple Emanu-El in Haverhill chose "An Olde Fashioned Purim" as its theme this year. On Feb. 23, members can dress in their favorite old fashioned clothes or don their favorite Purim character, wether hero, heroine or villain.

To the editor:
As a previous resident of Beverly, as well as a longtime user of the bookmobile, it gives me great pleasure to learn that it will continue to be used as a service vehicle ("Former Beverly bookmobile to become mobile health clinic," March 2).
Linda has surely been the heart and soul of the bookmobile with her dedication and thoughtfulness to all who were lucky enough to have used its services.
Obviously, it will continue to be used by similar individuals.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — INDIANAPOLIS — The scoreboard had to be a lie.
Even more than two hours after Sunday's game at Lucas Oil Stadium, the numbers casting off a digital glow seemed to be inexplicable.
Had the Indianapolis Colts (4-1) really scored a 34-28 victory in a wild and wacky shootout against the previously undefeated Seattle Seahawks (4-1)? And, if so, how?
A big part of the answer stood in a tan suit with a beard showing a few days' growth outlining his still youthful face. Against a defensive secondary widely regarded as the best in the NFL, Andrew Luck went 11-of-16 for 132 yards in the second half — lowering the boom on Seattle's famed "Legion of Boom."
"Against that team? Extremely difficult," head coach Chuck Pagano said, assessing another clutch performance from his quarterback. "But, again, that's Andrew being Andrew. Again, we're very lucky, no pun intended, to have him."
Luck finished 16-of-29 for 229 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions overall. He posted a 104.0 quarterback rating against a Seattle team that had limited opposing passers to a league-low 60.7 rating through the first two games.
He avoided the big mistakes that doomed Houston's Matt Schaub in an overtime loss a week ago, and he routinely found second-year wide receiver T.Y. Hilton for big plays. The 2012 third-round pick out of Florida International caught five passes for a caree-high 140 yards and both of Luck's touchdowns.
The first score was arguably the most important.
Seattle scored on its first two drives while Indianapolis went three-and-out, then the Seahawks blocked a punt and nearly recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown. The play was ultimately ruled a safety, and the Colts were in a 12-0 hole less than five minutes into the game.
Seattle head coach Pete Carroll was certain safety Jeron Johnson had recovered the ball in the end zone, and he believed his team should have had a bigger lead.
"There was time to see it you could stop it, he is on, he is laying down and the ball was secure, but (the officials) could not determine that the ball was secure," Carroll said. "So that is the way that they saw it, and that is the way it goes."
Luck answered quickly.
After Seattle punted from the Colts' 48-yard line, Trent Richardson broke through for 2 yards on third-and-1 to give Indianapolis its intial first down of the game.
On the next snap, Luck saw Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman sitting on the out route against Hilton. The receiver released deep and took off down the sideline. Luck hit him in stride, and Hilton made a quick juke on safety Earl Thomas before gliding into the end zone for a 73-yard score.
"When T.Y. is running fast, not many guys can catch him," Luck said. "He had some space. The line did a great job protecting. In those situations, give him a ball that he doesn't have to slow down for and see what happens. When he gets the ball in his hands, good things happen. It turns into a punt return. When he starts running, good things happen."
The touchdown seemed to spark the Colts, and they took the lead for the first time early in the second quarter. Lawrence Guy blocked a 48-yard field goal attempt, and Delano Howell raced with the loose ball 61 yards for a touchdown and a 14-12 lead.
"It definitely gave us some momentum," Howell said. "We never stopped believing. We understood that we were going to have to play for 60 minutes. So it was definitely a big play, and it was a team effort."
Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson — who finished 15-of-31 for 210 yards with two scores and one interception and also rushed 13 times for 102 yards — coolly answered with a 12-play, 82-yard scoring drive. His 28-yard pass to a diving Jermaine Kearse gave the Seahawks a 19-14 lead.
Adam Vinatieri added a 41-yard field goal with 58 seconds left in the half, and Steven Hauschka hit a pair of field goals to start the third quarter and put the Seahawks in front 25-17.
That's when Luck and Hilton struck again, with the quarterback lobbing a beautiful 29-yard touchdown pass into the end zone to cap a 10-play, 80-yard drive. A 2-point conversion pass failed, and the Colts still trailed 25-23.
But there was no doubt Hilton had Seattle's attention.
"He's really, really fast," Carroll said. "We knew it going in. We counted on him to be a big-play guy. They got us with a little formation thing on the first one that we should've played fine, and then they just ran by us on the other one."
Hauschka added another field goal to push the Seahawks lead back out to 28-23 heading into the fourth quarter.
On the game-determining drive, Luck completed all three of his third-down conversions. The first was aided by a pass interference call against Sherman, the second was a 12-yard completion to Hilton and the last was a 3-yard pass to Reggie Wayne that was originally ruled short and overturned on review.
Luck hit Wayne again for 19 yards on the next play, setting up a first-and-goal at the Seattle 3. Donald Brown took the football the rest of the way for the go-ahead score.
"We knew the task at hand," Brown said. "We knew it was going to be a 60-minute fight. On paper, two evenly matched teams, and we just knew it was going to be a 60-minute fight. It was, and that was one heck of a football team we just beat."
Luck completed a 2-point conversion pass across his body to Wayne in the middle of the end zone for a 31-28 lead, and Vinatieri added a 49-yard field goal with 1:55 left for the final margin.
Wilson had one final chance to pull out the comeback win. But he was hit hard by Jerrell Freeman on a fourth-and-15 attempt from his own 37-yard line, and the pass was intercepted by Darius Butler to seal the win with 1:23 to play.
The game goes down as Luck's ninth fourth-quarter comeback victory in 21 starts, and with Tennessee's loss to Kansas City the Colts are alone in first place in the AFC South for the first time since 2010.
"We'd lost our last home game," Luck said of a 24-20 decision against the Miami Dolphins three weeks ago. "To get back on track at home, we take a lot of pride in that. Maybe there's something special about the close ones. A win is a win. I'm sure you ask every guy in the locker room, and they're happy with a win."

FSG director resigns from board
First Security Group, Inc., the parent company of FSGBank, announced Friday that Ralph Mathews, Jr., has resigned from the company's board.
According to a regulatory filing, Mathews "indicated that wanted to devote more time to his family and businesses." The filing said Carol Jackson has been tapped as lead independent director of the Chattanooga-based company.
Mathews' resignation was effective as of Wednesday. On Monday, the company announced that chairman and CEO Rodger Holley had stepped down from both roles.
Holley's resignation came less than a week after the company issued an annual report which said the company did not "maintain an effective control environment" during 2010.
Among other things, the report cited "a failure to establish a culture of integrity and high ethical standards, including ineffective internal communication of what constitutes proper business practices, compliance with the code of conduct, and ethical behavior generally" and a "lack of compliance with procedures surrounding related party transactions."
The company's president, Ralph "Gene" Coffman, Jr., has been appointed as acting interim chairman and CEO of First Security.

McDermott invited to USA training camp
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (June 3, 2013) Creighton All-American Doug McDermott is one of 29 men that USA Basketball has invited to the 2013 USA Basketball Men's World University Games Team training camp, which will take place June 24-30 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. The USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team Committee issued the invitations.
Of the invites, 12 men are expected to make the roster for the 2013 World University Games, which are scheduled to be played July 6-17 in Kazan, Russia. Finalists for the team are expected to be announced on June 27 or 28, and the 12-member roster will be announced prior to the team's departure for Russia on July 1. Davidson College's Bob McKillop will lead the USA, with assistant coaches John Beilein of the University of Michigan and the University of South Carolina's Frank Martin. Additionally, Tad Boyle of the University of Colorado, Jim Kessler of Grace College (NAIA) and Matt Matheny from Elon University were tabbed as court coaches for training camp.
Attending training camp will be: Eric Atkins (Notre Dame/Columbia, Md.); Markel Brown (Oklahoma State/Alexandria, La.); Deonte Burton (Nevada/Los Angeles, Calif.); Quinn Cook (Duke/Washington, D.C.); Bryce Cotton (Providence/Tucson, Ariz.); Spencer Dinwiddie (Colorado/Woodland Hills,Calif.); CJ Fair (Syracuse/Baltimore, Md.); Yogi Ferrell(Indiana/Indianapolis, Ind.); Davante Gardner (Marquette/Suffolk, Va.); Treveon Graham (Virginia Commonwealth/Washington, D.C.); Jerian Grant (Notre Dame/Bowie, Md.); PJ Hairston (North Carolina/Greensboro, N.C.); AJ Hammons (Purdue/Gary, Ind.); Luke Hancock (Louisville/ Roanoke, Va.); Joe Harris(Virginia/Chelan, Wash.); Tyler Haws (BYU/Alpine, Utah); Andre Hollins(Minnesota/ Memphis, Tenn.); Rodney Hood (Duke/Meridian, Miss.); Josh Huestis (Stanford/Great Falls, Mont.); Cory Jefferson (Baylor/Killeen, Texas); Sean Kilpatrick (Cincinnati/Yonkers, N.Y.); Alex Kirk (NewMexico/Los Alamos, N.M.); Devyn Marble(Iowa/Southfield, Mich.); Doug McDermott (Creighton/Ames, Iowa); Adreian Payne(Michigan State/Dayton,Ohio); Chasson Randle (Stanford/Rock Island, Ill.); Will Sheehey(Indiana/Stuart, Fla.); Aaron White (Iowa/Strongsville, Ohio); and Kendall Williams (New Mexico/Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.).
"The committee has assembled one of the strongest World University Games training camp rosters USA Basketball has ever had," said Jim Boeheim, head coach at Syracuse University and chair of the USA Men's Junior National Team Committee. "It includes some of the top players in college basketball, several of whom have international experience. Selecting the players for the final roster is going to be a real challenge."
Three of the invitees have previous experience with USA Basketball. Cook and Randle are two-time USA Basketball gold medalists, having helped the USA to a 5-0 record at the inaugural 2009 FIBA Americas U16 Championship in Mendoza, Argentina, and an 8-0 record in the first FIBA U17 World Championship in 2010 in Hamburg, Germany. Cook also helped the USA Junior National Select Team to a 92-80 win over the World Select Team in the 2011 Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, Ore.
Additionally, McDermott was a member of the 2011 USA Basketball Men's U19 World Championship Team that finished in fifth place with a 7-2 record in the 2011 FIBA U19 World Championship in Latvia. McDermott ranked third on U19 team in scoring (11.3 ppg.) and rebounding (6.1 rpg.) while leading the club with 13 three-pointers made and 39.4 percent marksmanship from downtown. He is a two time Associated Press (AP) All-American (2012 and 2013), who also earned All-America first team honors from the NABC, USBWA and Basketball Times in 2013.
"We couldn't get the Gold Medal when I played U19, so I definitely want to strive to get that gold medal,", said McDermott.
Twenty-four players took home end of the year conference honors, including McDermott, a two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and three-time all-conference first-team selection, and Williams, who listed as the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year and on its first team.
Additionally, Gardner earned Big East Conference Sixth Man of the Year; Huestis (Pac-12 Conference) and Kirk (Mountain West Conference) listed on their conference all-defensive teams; and Ferrell and Hammons listed on the Big Ten Conference All-Freshman team. Also taking home first-team recognition were: Cotton (Big East), Dinwiddie (Pac-12), Harris (Atlantic Coast Conference) and Haws (West Coast Conference).
Named to all-conference second teams were: Brown (Big 12 Conference), Fair(Big East), Graham (Atlantic-10 Conference), Grant (Big East), Kilpatrick(Big East), Kirk (Mountain West) and Payne (Big Ten). Third-team selections were: Burton (Mountain West), Cook (ACC), Hollins (Big Ten) and White (Big Ten). Earning honorable mention were: Gardner (Big East), Jefferson (Big 12), Hairston (ACC), White (Big Ten), Hollins (Big Ten), Ferrell (Big Ten) and Marble (Big Ten)
The 30 players represent 24 schools and feature teammates from Duke (Cookand Hood), Indiana (Ferrell and Sheehy), Iowa (Marble and White), New Mexico(Kirk and Williams), Notre Dame (Atkins and Grant) and Stanford (Huestis and Randle).

The United States has claimed 19 medals in the World University Games since beginning play in 1965, and has captured a record 13 golds, three silvers and three bronze medals in the 20 WUGs in which a USA Basketball men's squad has competed. The USA men own a stellar 138-9 record in WUGs play, and the U.S. captured six of the first seven gold medals awarded in the WUGs basketball competition, including six consecutive gold medals from 1989 through 1999. In 2001 the USA fell to host China, which featured half of its 2000 Olympic team, including Yao Ming, Menk Bateer and Wang ZhiZhi, by a single point in the semifinal and finished with the bronze. The USA again captured the gold medal in 2005 and most recently, finished in fifth place
with a 7-1 record after falling to Lithuania 76-74 in the 2011

Degree opens doors for students who are not able to study on campus full-time
Wednesday, November 21, 2012
Students gather for a three-week residency on campus per year and work individually with faculty mentors, allowing access to advanced study for working adults.
The Expressive Therapies Division at Lesley University - home to the first Ph.D. in Expressive Therapies and one of the most recognized Expressive Therapies programs in the world - provides a meaningful connection between the arts, theory and practice in clinical training, and prepares expertly qualified providers of mental health services.
To make this transformative Master's program accessible to more students, Lesley has introduced the new low-residency option, which is ideal for students who are not able to get to campus on a weekly basis. The Low-Residency M.A. in Expressive Therapies welcomes students to Lesley's campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for summer residencies. Between residencies, students continue their studies online with the Lesley faculty and through supervised field experience in their home communities.
"Lesley students have enjoyed great success in low-residency models in other disciplines, including our Ph.D. in Expressive Therapies," said Dr. Mitchell Kossak, the program's Division Director. "Expressive therapies evolved on Lesley's campus and continues to have a powerful impact on people's lives. By providing a means towards a master's degree that's accessible for more people, we look to enhance the number and quality of practitioners in the field."
Lesley's Expressive Therapies program exposes students to multiple art modalities in support of Lesley's belief that all the arts in psychotherapy enrich expressive therapists, including visual arts, dance, drama, poetry, literature and music. The new Low-Residency Master's Degree in Expressive Therapies is available for the expressive arts (intermodal), art, dance, and music therapy specializations.
