Jacksonville looks to continue the finest season in school history this weekend at the 2013 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament. Having already established a school record with eight wins, the Dolphins now aim to build upon a MAAC Regular season Co-Championship.
The Jacksonville line-up has won six of the last seven and eight of the last 10 overall. The Dolphins success comes from a balanced attack that features five players with over 20 points, but none with over 30. Seven players have scored at least 10 goals yet no one has over 18.
Jacksonville leads the MAAC averaging just 14.58 turnovers per game while forcing a league best 11 turnover per game during conference play.
"We try to play to our strengths by taking care of the ball and playing for a high percentage shot," said Head Coach Guy Van Arsdale. "We try to stay disciplined about what we do and when we share the ball we are pretty effective."
Series History
Jacksonville is 1-3 all-time against Siena. The Dolphins won the regular season meeting this season, 11-10 in overtime in Jacksonville. Senior Cam Mann scored the game tying goal with three minute left, then scored the game winner in overtime.
'Fin Facts
The Road Now Belongs To Us
In Jacksonville's first three years as a program the Dolphins combined to win four road games. Using that past experience the team has grown and learned what it take to become a tough road team. This season the Dolphins are 4-1 on the road to match the number of road victories from the first three years combined.
Mann Among the Nation's Active Career Assist Leaders
Senior midfield Cameron Mann enters this weekend tied for 17th nationally with 68 career assists. Mann, who also has 69 career goals to his credit, was selected as a preseason honorable mention All-American by the Inside Lacrosse Face-Off Yearbook. Last year he became the first player in school history to record over 100 career points.
Jacksonville Moving To the Newly Minted A-Sun in 2014
The Dolphins will join the newly minted A-Sun men's lacrosse league in 2014 with Mercer, Furman, High Point, Richmond and VMI.
Classroom Success
The Dolphins have shown success on the field has transformed to success in the classroom. This fall 19 players had a semester GPA of 3.0 or better while the team has posted a 2.89 cumulative GPA.
Tyler Turns Them Over
Junior defender Tyler Black was a two-time MAAC defensive player of the week this season and ranks second in the league with 28 caused turnovers and fifth in the nation with an average of 2.33 per game.
Jacksonville University prides itself on being a trail blazer in the lacrosse community. In 2010, the Dolphins became the first Division I men's and women's program to sponsor the sport in the state of Florida.
Now with both programs just in their fourth season the University is starting to what the sport can do for the Institution
Jacksonville is one of only five schools in the country to win regular season conference championships in both men's and women's lacrosse. The Dolphins women's team also won the Atlantic Sun Tournament and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The men aim to do the same this weekend.

B-Sens beat Amerks for third OT win
11/8/2013 (Updated 10:45:43 PM)BINGHAMTON, N.Y. The Binghamton Senators defeated Rochester on the road tonight 3-2 in the first of eight meetings between the teams this season. The B-Sens were able to overcome an early deficit and hold on in overtime as Cody Ceci netted his second game winning goal of the season 1:36 in. Andrew Hammond earned his second victory of the year with a strong performance between the pipes stopping 30 of 32 Amerks shots.
Rochester started the contest off 4:00 minutes into the opening period as Phil Varone took a rebound from Mike Zigomanis and hit it past an outstretched Hammond putting the hosts up 1-0. The first period ended with few chances for either team sending the hosts to the locker room ahead. Hammond turned aside 16 of 17 first period shots by the Amerks while Rochesters Matt Hackett stifled all 11 B-Sens shots faced.
Binghamton picked up its intensity after the first period outshooting the Americans 13-5 in the middle frame. Mike Hoffman notched his sixth and seventh tallies of the season 79 seconds apart to push the B-Sens in front 2-1. However, Rochester was able to even the score two goals apiece at the 17:15 mark to carry the teams tied into the final period.
The third period was a goaltender highlight reel with both Hammond and Hackett turning aside 10 shots apiece to force an overtime contest.
Binghamton was able to remain perfect in games decided after three periods when Cody Ceci ripped home the game-winning goal 1:36 into the extra period sending the Senators home with two points and a big overtime victory.
Hammond played his best game in a Senators uniform to earn his second victory of the season. Hackett dropped to 3-3-1 for the season while turning aside 34 of 37 B-Sens shots.

New GE RR7 maintained relay switch comes equipped with 3 low voltage leads and is the best replacement option for discontinued GE relays for standard unlighted switches. These relays are also a compatible replacement for standard Sierra Electric and Bryant brand solenoid relays and have a split low voltage (24V) coil to move the line voltage contact between latched ON and OFF positions.
Wiring Tip: To replace an older relay, connect the old red wire to the new red wire, the old black wire to the new black wire and the old white (or other color) wire to the new blue wire. Operation: Each relay employs a split low-voltage (24V) coil to move the line voltage contact armature to the ON (OFF) latched position. Do not use DC with pilot or locator switches. GE low-voltage relays may be used to full-rated capacity for tungsten filament, ballast, resistive or motor loads. ( GRR7, GERR7, RR-7 ) Installation Notes: Mounts in standard 1/2" KO, .865" - .875" diameter 14 or 16 gauge material. 60C maximum ambient temperature. Operates in any position. Shop for coordinating low volt switches and wall covers at General Electric Lighting Devices & Switchplates.

Purchased the GE remote control lighting relays as spare units to start replacing some Pass & Seymour units I've been using for the past 20 years at our residence. I've had intermittant problems with the existing units for the past several years.
The GE units look like a good replacement........time will tell.
Good information and pricing at this website; parts easy to order

We mark time by how long something happened before or after the storm. We give directions based on where landmarks used to be. We rely on Facebook to catch up with people we don't see as often anymore since we lost our main meeting place, the Pig.
Just when we've almost forgotten that we live in a tornado town, we drive past Main Street and must face not only the destruction but our memories as well.
Healing is a complicated, seemingly never-ending process. I don't think I'm the only one who spent the better part of a year looking for it in the wrong places.
I decided soon after the storm that the best way I could help my neighbors recover was through my work. Several frustrating months and one deflated ego later, I stopped trying to save the world through the printed word.
Looking back now, I see how at times I tried a little too desperately to paint a rosy picture that didn't exist then and still doesn't.
Maybe I was too close to my subject. Objectivity is a neat concept, but nobody tells you how to maintain it while covering the place you love after it has been wiped off the map.
Although I question some of the editorial decisions I made in the heat of the moment, I hope the people of Cordova know how hard I tried to do their stories justice.
Bylines come and go, but some of the conversations I had with my fellow Blue Devils after April 27 will stay with me forever.
I still believe in the power of communication. Talking and writing are part of the way that we make sense of our collective experiences – our pain, our anger, our grievances, our questions.
I've heard that people who survive something as traumatic as a tornado have to share their story over 40 times before they can let it go. I don't know who was on the receiving end of my 40th, but I consider it an honor if I have been involved in someone else's.
Cordova isn't just a beat to me. That has never been more apparent than while I have been working on stories for the April 27 anniversary section that will be published on Friday.
I understand that the emotions of some tornado survivors will be too raw for them to get through the whole section, but I hope those who do find something that will bring them peace and renew their hope for the future.
I am not as naïve as I once was. I am well aware that one day I may be raising my son in an unincorporated community formerly known as Cordova.
However, I chose an unapologetically positive angle for this collection of tornado anniversary stories because of people like Keri and Josh Bagwell.
The Bagwells lost their first home on April 27, but today they have a beautiful new one that overlooks the city.
Right now, the view isn't too pretty, but Keri told me that she believes the city will rise from the rubble and that she and Josh are going to watch it happen from their front porch.
Her comment made me think of the first picture I took on April 28.
Before I captured any of the devastation, I got a shot of the sun coming up on the street where I was raised. In the days to come, that street would be guarded by soldiers with big guns and at times I would feel like it was the end of the world.
But somehow the sun always came up the next day.
The road to recovery is long and filled with hurdles that threaten to extinguish the last ounce of hope most of us possess.
The world wonders why we don't just give up. In Cordova, we believe in trying it one more time.

Vikings CB Chris Cook tore the meniscus in his left knee during practice this week and will miss Monday night's game against the Jets.
PFW correspondent and Minneapolis Star Tribune writer Judd Zulgad was the first to report Cook's injury. The Vikings' top draft pick in April, Cook missed the first two games of the year with the same injury in his right knee.
Cook recorded five tackles and a pass defended in Week Three against the Lions.
The way we see it
The injury means more playing time for veteran CB Lito Sheppard. Through three games, the Vikings have the eighth-best pass defense in the league.

Precision Ag Irrigation Leadership (PAIL)
AgGateway's Precision Ag Council and the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance are co-sponsoring this cross-industry project that will help growers better manage water and energy use by integrating weather, soil, crop and other data from various hardware and software programs. The PAIL Project will improve irrigation by developing "a common set of data standards and protocols used across the ag industry," said Terry Schlitz, PAIL Project chairperson. See the PAIL Project page.
Standardized Precision Ag Data Exchange (SPADE)
SPADE is addressing the problem of moving data from machine systems to farm management information systems (FMIS) and to other FMIS, so the farmer and ag retailer can improve decision-making and improve productivity. Participants have made great progress since the work began. A dedicated, cross-industry group is working on SPADE, including equipment manufacturers, ag input manufacturers, ag retailers and software companies. More than 30 companies are contributing to the SPADE project.
Several standards coming out of the project are nearly ready for publication and for use by the ag industry. The team's initial focus was on planting operations. The current focus – harvest and crop care – is nearing completion. They have also developed standard data exchange mechanisms (application programing interfaces) and the data elements needed for information to be moved.
See the SPADE Project page.
Crop Protection Canada Connectivity (CPCC)
With 10 companies participating, this project targeted at the crop protection business in Canada is slated to run through December 2015. See the CPCC Project page.

After a successful pilot, AgGateway has closed this project so that it can be continued by the fertilizer industry. There is widespread agreement to the goal of paperless tonnage reporting by the end of 2016! The new Paperless Tonnage Reporting Project has begun a 3.5-year nationwide initiative for full implementation. The project is a collaborative effort among the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO), The Fertilizer Institute (TFI), the Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) and AgGateway. See www.FertTon.com.
Auto Identification Data Capture (AIDC)
AIDC includes technologies such as bar codes, Radio Frequency Identification, magnetic strips, and smart cards. Given its benefits, a new task force is working to define what type of AIDC project AgGateway members desire (e.g., guidelines, implementation, etc.), creating a charter for that project, and getting approval by the various councils interested. See the AIDC page.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The director of the new state health insurance exchange says it's on track to begin enrolling Rhode Islanders this fall and should offer patients more choice and affordability in their health care.
Christine Ferguson says enrollment will open Oct. 1. The exchanges being rolled out in every state as part of the federal health care overhaul are insurance marketplaces designed to help individuals and small businesses purchase coverage.
Rhode Island is one of 18 states building its own exchange. The new health care law requires most individuals to have insurance as of Jan. 1, provides subsidies to help pay for it and penalizes those who don't get it.
Ferguson says that change in the health system will be "evolutionary'' and that patients should have a larger role in choosing their health care.

By Amanda GardnerHealthDay Reporter
SUNDAY, March 3 (HealthDay News) -- A baby born two-and-a-half years ago in Mississippi with HIV is the first case of a so-called "functional cure" of the infection, researchers announced Sunday.
Standard tests can no longer detect any traces of the AIDS-causing virus even though the child has discontinued HIV medication.
"We believe this is the first well-documented case of a [functional] cure," said study lead author Dr. Deborah Persaud, associate professor of pediatrics in the division of infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. The finding was presented Sunday at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, in Atlanta.
The child was not part of a study but, instead, the beneficiary of an unexpected and partly unplanned sequence of events that -- once confirmed and replicated in a formal study -- might help more children who are born with HIV or who at risk of contracting HIV from their mother eradicate the virus from their body.
Normally, mothers infected with HIV take antiretroviral drugs that can almost eliminate the odds of the virus being transferred to the baby.
If a mother doesn't know her HIV status or hasn't been treated for other reasons, the baby is given "prophylactic" drugs at birth while awaiting the results of tests to determine his or her HIV status. This can take four to six weeks to complete. If the tests are positive, the baby starts HIV drug treatment.
The mother of the baby born in Mississippi didn't know she was HIV-positive until the time of delivery.
But in this case, both the initial and confirmatory tests on the baby were able to be completed within one day, allowing the baby to be started on HIV drug treatment within the first 30 hours of life.
"Most of our kids don't get picked up that early," Persaud explained.
As expected, the baby's "viral load" -- detectable levels of HIV -- decreased progressively until it was no longer detectable at 29 days of age.
Theoretically, this child (doctors aren't disclosing the gender) would have taken the medications for the rest of his or her life, said the researchers, who included doctors from the University of Massachusetts Medical School and the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
Instead, the child stayed on the regimen for only 18 months before dropping out of the medical system and discontinuing the drugs.
Ten months after stopping treatment, however, the child was again seen by doctors who were surprised to find no HIV virus or HIV antibodies with standard tests.
Ultrasensitive tests did detect infinitesimal traces of viral DNA and RNA in the blood. But the virus was not replicating -- a highly unusual occurrence given that drugs were no longer being administered, the researchers said.
No one is absolutely sure why this child achieved a "functional" cure -- meaning the virus is in remission even without medications. But investigators believe that giving antiviral treatment so early in life meant the virus had no time to create viral "reservoirs" where dormant HIV cells can linger for years before becoming active again.
"For us this is a very exciting finding," said Persaud. "By treating a baby very early [we may be able to] prevent viral reservoirs or cells that stay around for a lifetime of an infected person."
But Dr. Michael Horberg, chair of the HIV Medicine Association and director of HIV/AIDS at Kaiser Permanente, stressed that this was a "functional cure and not a cure in the most classic sense of the word."
"If we take adults off HIV medications, they almost certainly within a short time period would have levels of virus back to where they were before they were taking medication," he said.

The Dawson Community College baseball team won the final four games of its recent 10-game road trip. The spring trip began in Idaho on the 14th with a pair of games against the College of Southern Idaho. From there, the Bucs moved down to Utah for games against four different schools from Utah.
The Buccaneers lost a pair to the College of Southern Idaho on Monday. The first contest saw CSI claim a 7-0 triumph. The Bucs played better in the second game of the doubleheader but still fell by a final of 5-3. In the first game, the Buccaneers had just three hits and committed five errors. Game two DCC had four hits and just one error. Hunter Balmer went 2-3 with an RBI double for the Bucs.
On Tuesday, Dawson was in Utah for two games with Salt Lake Community College. In the first game the Bucs were shutout 9-0, although the game was scoreless for the first three innings. DCC had a total of five hits and three defensive errors. Jake Loundagin was two for two at the plate for Dawson. Joe Binstock, Tanner Newman and Chris Mjelstad each had a pair of hits for the Bucs in their next contest with SLCC. The Buccaneers were ahead early in this one only to see Salt Lake come back to post an 8-4 victory over the Bucs.
"These are two of the better programs we face," Coach Brent Diegel said of CSI and SLCC.
"These are games you hope to win but don't expect to win," Diegel added. Both of these teams had played 15-20 games while they were the first four games of the young season for the Buccaneers.
Next up for the Bucs was the College of Eastern Utah on Wednesday. Eastern Utah knocked off DCC by the finals of 3-1 and 5-4. The Bucs had just one hit, but also only committed one error in the 3-1 loss. DCC then held a 4-2 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh of the second contest only to see Eastern Utah score three times for the win. The Buccaneers fired out eight hits, led by Austin Sheppick who was 2-4 with two RBI. Balmer was 1-3 with two runs scored.
The Buccaneers finally got into the win column on St. Patrick's Day. Cole Dupper from Laurel earned the first win on the mound for DCC. Dupper benefitted from a great offensive showing by his teammates. As a team the Bucs had 13 hits in the contest as they cruised to a 15-3 win over the University of Utah. Tanner Newman drove in three runs with three base hits. McKay Hedin was 2-5 at the plate and Sheppick was 2-4. Balmer was 1-4 and had four RBI's.
Friday and Saturday the Bucs won three games against Snow College. Joey Hendricks earned the victory in game one with an 11-0 shutout over Snow College. Hendricks got support from Newman, Dalton Aiken and Balmer. Newman had three hits, including a home run, and drove in four runs. Aiken drove in two runs and Balmer continued his hot hitting with two more hits.
Anthony Kuntz started on the hill for Dawson in the second game with Snow College. Bobby King pitched in relief and was credited with the win in the 10-5 decision. Hedin had the big stick for the Bucs with two home runs and five runs batted in. Hedin had four hits in the contest. Balmer and Newman each had a pair of hits in this Bucs' win.
The Bucs pitched another 11-0 shutout in their final contest with Snow. Danny Smith was the winning pitcher. Smith allowed just one hit and struck out 10 batters. Balmer was 2-4 and Mjelstad was 1-3 with two RBI.
"This was one of our better spring trips. We need to improve on the mental aspects of the game and cut down on the defensive errors. The kids hit the ball well and they pitched extremely well," Diegel said.
The ballgames scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday at Kolberg Field have been rescheduled.
The Buccaneers next action is this weekend in Miles City at the MCC tournament, weather permitting.

The Annual East Peoria Festival of Lights is Central Illinois' top holiday attraction bringing families from near and far.
But this year's display has some competition, a Peoria Resident who is lighting the skies with Christmas Cheer.
In the spirit of Christmas, one might decide to decorate their house, maybe throw up a frosty, maybe a reindeer, but for one Peoria resident he's decided to take decorating to the next level.
"It would take a lot of time to do something like this" said spectator Nancy Stein.
"I've always wanted to this, I've always had a fascination with lights and music and pyrotechnics, like in Trans-Siberian orchestra, this is the closest I can get to it now." said the homeowner Brian Jones.
Jones, an American eagle pilot has set up a Christmas display this year with more than 50,000 lights, synced to music.
The display consists of nine mini trees, four arches, rows of flashing candy canes and a mega tree to name a few things.
All changing at various times and to multiple colors.
"It's a hobby, it actually keeps me entertained, like people have remote control cars, I do Christmas lights and displays all year round." said Jones.
Nancy Stein a Peoria resident, decided to spend the night out viewing the display with her grandson.
Stein said, "We've been to the East Peoria light parade, but that's not open yet, so I told him, I take him to this house, no I've never seen anything like it, it's awesome."
For Lidea Callear it was a chance to see Jones' creativity again.
"Well we saw the Halloween one that he had and last Christmas too actually, so we wanted to come down and see it again, it kinda gets you in the mood for Christmas, it's beautiful." said Callear.
The lights and music are synced to FM channel 99.1 through Jones' home computer using a program called lighter-rama.
All you have to do is find a good parking spot, tune into 99.1 and enjoy the show.
Jones started setting up the display early in November and estimates it took 130 hours to set up and he is already working on plans to add a projection screen to next years display,
Brian Jones' Christmas display runs weekdays from 5-9:30pm, and weekends from 5-10pm at 6431 Beacon Road in Peoria.

Smith, director of Houston's Hobby Center, named Clayton Center GM
April 30, 2013
Contact: Karen Eldridge, Director of Communications
865.981.8207; email@example.com
Blake Smith, director of operations for the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in Houston, Tex., has been named the new general manager of the Clayton Center for the Arts located on the Maryville College campus.
Smith will begin his new job on June 1. He replaces Robert Hutchens, executive director of the Clayton Center, who announced in January that he would retire May 31.
"We are excited to welcome Blake to the Clayton Center," said Dr. William T. "Tom" Bogart, Maryville College president. "We believe he will build on the excellent work of Robert Hutchens, who opened the Center in 2010 and helped establish it as a hub for the celebration of the arts in various forms and expressions."
As general manager, Smith will be responsible for the business development of the Clayton Center, as well as oversight of all operational aspects of the facility and the College's Corporate Sales and Events Office.
Smith began his employment with the Hobby Center in 2006, when he was hired as facility technical director. Promoted to director of operations in 2010, he has experience in overseeing the center's two proscenium theatres (seating 2,650 and 500), supervising operational and technical staff, preparing operating budgets and forecasting major maintenance and capital expenditures. In his current job, he also verifies contract and legal compliance with various service, equipment and staffing providers, as well as municipal entities.
The Hobby Center, which opened in 2002, is managed and operated by the Hobby Center Foundation. The $100 million complex was built entirely from private funds donated by the community of Houston and operates independently of any municipal operating subsidy.
From 1995 until 2006, Smith was the director of concerts and conventions for Larry H. Miller Sports and Entertainment Group, operating out of the Delta Center Arena (now EnergySolutions Arena) in Salt Lake City, Utah.
He holds a bachelor's degree in technical theatre from Arizona State University.
Bogart said the new general manager is familiar with East Tennessee, having vacationed in the area and having purchased a "second home" in Townsend recently.
"Blake's strong technical background, skill in building relationships and vision for the future impressed everyone he met," the president said. "The combination of fine and performing arts experience and facilities management is rare and a great fit for the opportunities ahead for the Clayton Center and Maryville College.

There's been a big shift in social media.
Facebook has relaxed its privacy rules for teenagers, allowing users age 13 to 17 to post publicly.
Until now, teens could only share pictures or comments with friends.
Does this mean parents who police their child's social media accounts will have to step up their game?
Mike Merrill from ReachLocal stopped by our Victory Park studios to talk with News 8's Jason Wheeler about what the change means.

In Wisconsin Rapids, the Kollock family has a rink in their backyard where Trent, Isaac and Dylan have played hockey since they were little.
But this trio of brothers haven't played on the same team in over a decade until now.
If you call out the name "Kollock" on the ice, you might have to be a bit more specific.
"Right now, it's been going little Kollock, middle Kollock, big Kollock," older brother Devin Kollock said.
"Big Kollock", aka Devin, is a junior on the Pacelli co-op hockey team and is the role model to his two brothers, Trent and Isaac. These twin brothers are freshman on the team. All three attend Assumption High School in Wisconsin Rapids.
"I've learned a lot from him because I've been playing goalie over most of my years," Trent Kollock said. "But since I've played defense this year, so he's taught me a lot about my position and what I need to do."
All three are defensemen for the Cardinals and being brothers on the same team has its benefits.
"You know them so you kinda know what they're going to do," Isaac Kollock said. "When it happens, you can think before, if he's going to pass it, to which person."
They have yet to play at the same time, creating a sibling rivalry between the trio for precious ice time.
"It'll probably get us better competition as brothers, who's going to be the best, who's going to get the most goals and stuff," Isaac Kollock said.
"We're always pushing each other to be better and Devin's doing the best right now, but I'll get there."
Trent, Devin and Isaac Kollock. A family affair for your Newsline Nine Athletes of the Week.

Schumer Gets Airlines to Promise No Carry-On Fees
by Jonathan Singer, Mon Apr 19, 2010 at 12:10:08 AM EDT
A small-bore measure -- but sometimes small-bore measures matter.
Senator Charles E. Schumer said Sunday that he had commitments from five airlines that they would not charge passengers a fee for carry-on baggage.
Mr. Schumer, Democrat of New York, said he had received the promises in personal calls from top airline executives.
The carriers are American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, United Airlines and US Airways.
This is the type of retail politics that makes Chuck Schumer, the number three Democrat in the Senate, one of the most effective politicians in America. While voters no doubt care more about major issues like the economy and healthcare than others, one cannot overstate the importance of efforts like these.
Don't believe me that actions like these matter? Think back four years ago to when Schumer got out ahead of the country, and his fellow politicians, by pressing the Bush administration not to allow the government of the United Arab Emirates to purchase control of major United States ports through Dubai Ports World. While this skirmish -- which Schumer won -- wasn't the proximate cause of the Democrats victory in the midterm elections occurring nine months later in November 2006, it did help cement the case that the Republicans and the Bush administration were out of touch. Indeed, the polling on the issue not long after Schumer exposed the deal ran strongly in opposition to the Bush administration's move, with just 17 percent supporting the DPW sale and 69 percent opposing.
Will Schumer's move, getting the leading American airlines to pledge not to charge for carry-on bags, have the same effect of his move to stop the sale of American ports to DPW? It is yet unclear. But at a time when Americans are particularly distrustful of the efficacy of government action, it can't be a bad thing for one of the leading Democrats in Congress to deliver tangible results on an issue a great many Americans care about.

Assembly Member calls for Pembrokeshire council chief exec to be suspended
4:51pm Wednesday 5th February 2014 in News
An Assembly Member has called for a suspension of chief council officers and an investigation into the salaries and pensions of council bosses, by all councillors in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.
Mid and West Wales AM Simon Thomas asked an emergency question in the Senedd about the salaries and pensions of senior council officers in light of the damning Wales Audit Office reports into Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire Council.
Plaid AM Simon Thomas said: "In light of the Wales Audit Office reports specifically on Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire and the unlawful payments made, chief officers should be suspended until a full council investigation takes place. I demanded the Local Government Minister supported this proposal and asked her to call for this action publicly.
"The governance and scrutiny of senior officers' remuneration is central to securing public trust in their councils.
"Scrutiny committees and auditors must review these reports and ensure that the spirit as well as the letter of the law has been followed.
"I called for the Welsh Government to apply the rules to those practices that have allowed creative accounting measures from some chief officers to fill their boots such as deferred pension arrangements, car leasing, and other perks."
The Local Government Minister said she could not comment on the audit reports because the police are liaising with the CPS.

Former Strikeforce champ Nick Diaz putatively retired following his back-to-back UFC losses to Carlos Condit and Georges St. Pierre. Diaz's next move was mounting his own regional MMA promotion, WAR MMA. However the 29-year-old might not be quite as done with being inside the Octagon as all that.
Cesar Gracie, Diaz's long-time coach and sometimes manager appared on BJPenn.com radio and here's what he had to say:
"As far as his fighting and everything. He's been in Vegas, he just got back a couple of days ago. There is an offer on the table, that's all I can say. It's something everyone is looking at right now and discussing with him. Dana has offered him a fight. There is an offer on the table, I can't say who it is, but it's kind of neat I think. But no decision's have been made for sure."
Since his loss to GSP, Diaz has expressed interest in a Middleweight fight against Anderson Silva or the man who beat Silva, Chris Weidman.

Pours into my glass a deep dark black with a solid half inch of creamy tan head on top. Sticky lacing around the top of the glass. Aromas are a bold mix of rich cocoa, vanilla and deep roasted malts. The chocolate is just great here. Woody oak with just the perfect touch of bourbon. Really lovely aroma.
First sip brings smooth dark roasted malts upfront swimming in rich cocoa flavors. Vanilla makes itself known along with a touch of coffee. The oak notes hit on the way down along with a well integrated bourbon flavor. Well balanced and very tasty.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth and creamy. Goes down easy and extremely tasty. This is one of my favorite Brewers Gone Wild beers and I'm hoping to see it brewed again someday! Cheers to Tyranena!

Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma is very heavy on the chocolate with some roasted malt, oak and bourbon notes thrown in. The barrel-aged notes are stronger in the flavor, where the bourbon and maple is the first thing to come through. I also get a nice amount of chocolate, as well as some vanilla and some alcohol. Medium to thick mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

12oz Bottle into a Founders Tulip. Bottled on 11/04/10.
Before we get started a quick question. Why is Tyranena bottling this series in twist offs?? Seems a shabby treatment for what appears to be their 'premium' series.
I received this bottle in a trade.
Pours very dark brown with a razor thin head that quickly dissipates. Knocking a half point for the head, as the bottle promises a "thick cocoa head." A little lacing clings to the glass.
Aromas of rich chocolate and oak dominate the nose with hints of bourbon and vanilla lying in wait.
The bourbon really comes out in the taste. The rest of the flavors play supporting role, but they weave together nicely.
This beer is a bit of a letdown in the mouthfeel category. Very thin for the style.
Drinks nicely, could stand a little more heft to carry the flavors, but overall a nice beer.

Bottle shared by Mark – much obliged!
Pours one shade from black with a one-finger light brown head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of smooth roasted malts with large amounts of dark and milk chocolate aromas, all balanced by solid amounts of vanilla.
Tastes very similar to how it smells. Slightly dry roasted malt flavors kick things off and are joined quickly by moderate amounts of dark chocolate. Midway through the sip the flavors lighten with the addition of milk chocolate and hints of vanilla. The chocolate and vanilla carry through near the end of the sip, where they join slight amounts of bourbon that lead to a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with smooth carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I finished my glass quickly and could easily have a few more.
Overall I was very impressed with this beer – a well done beer that doesn't overdo any singular facet. Well worth a shot.

(Served in a snifter)
A- This beer has a black body with a thin wisp of tan head that fades to a ring and is a bit to dense to see any carbonation.
S- The clean aroma has hints of chocolate with a light coffee roast in the finish.
T- The mellow roasted black malt has a soft cocao nibs note to it and a water flavor that grows as the beer opens. The finish has a light chocolate note and some roasted bitterness that lingers for a moment.
M- This beer has a full mouthfeel with no alcohol heat noticed.
O- The light chocolate flavor and soft stout malt flavors is not nearly as impressive as the bottle describes it. This reminds me of a chocolate Charleston chew without all the chewing.

Thanks to mnbearsfan, this beer just sounds like something I want to try.
A: Pours a dark brown with some ruby highlights. Not head or lacing at all. Very thin ring of foam on top.
S: Lots of bitter/bakers chocolate and vanilla, it hits right away. There is a little bit of roasted malt underneath it. The bourbon isn't very strong, but very subtle.
T: Very tasty. Lots of chocolate mixed with plenty of vanilla with hints of oak. The bourbon is again, rather faint, but adds a nice little kick to it. There is a little bit of cream as well.
M: Medium bodied with low to medium carbonation, rather smooth. With a nice vanilla kick at the end.
O: A very nice beer, lived up to its name. Would definitely drink this one again.

Bottle poured into Leffe goblet. Pours black, dark brown edges with a thin tan head that fades quickly into a collar, a bit watery looking. Smell is chocolate, coffee bitterness, sweet vanilla, a hint of bourbon. Taste is dark chocolate, vanilla, some bourbon, roasted malts, a great melding of flavors as it warms. Mouthfeel is thin for the style, medium body and light carbonation. Drinkability is good on this. The low ABV for the style aids in it not having alcohol flavor, smell or warmth in the finish. If this beer was considered an American stout, which i think it is closer to, it would be one of the best in the style.

Pitch black, with a slight head of deep tan bubbles. No lace.
On the nose, I get chocolate and wood.
Taste is strong and smooth, with an abundance of vanilla tones, but with some oak and a hint of bourbon-whiskey-alcohol burn.
Delightful and worthy.

12oz into bruges tulip, from notes.
A: Pours a good looking black body with a nice tan head. The head settles into a foamy layer, lacing is left, but lasts longer than the head retention.
S: The aroma is a very strange example for this type of stout. Low on the intensity and overall flavors. A bit of chocolate comes through. A lighter ale aroma is present.
T/M: This is a very light bodied double stout. The front is a smooth and quick mouthfeel of light stout and then hits flavors of the chocolate and vanilla, which are both very subtle. The dry mouthfeel, does not project much of a linger, while I am not finding any notes of barrel aging.
D: This being an average double flavored stout, it does not stand up to the rest of the competition. A middle of the road offering, while not shining too bright.

Thanks to Matt (mtunnell) for this one. Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a Darkness snifter.
A: Not the most carbonated beer. Elevated pour barely yields a thin mocha film atop the brew that dissipates as quickly as it forms. Beer is an opaque black. Lacing is nearly non-existant with a spot here or there and little cling.
S: This one is described as a barrel aged chocolate, vanilla imperial stout... I barely get any of those flavors in the nose. Not to say that its not pleasant. Hints of roasted malt, bitter chocolate, cocoa, and fudge. Slight booziness as I breath deep. Very subtle though and barely detectable.
T: Opens sweet and oily. Notes of sweet booze, chocolate, roasted malt, and raisins. Sweet soy sauciness creeps up towards the middle as the carbonation builds just a bit. Chocolate gets sweeter and is complemented by a subtlely sweet vanilla towards the end. Finish is cocoa and roasted malt bitterness. Aftertaste is more fo the same.
M: Medium bodied with low carbonation. Oily and viscous in the mouth. A surprising amount of bubbles though, given the appearance. Finishi is sticky and drawn out and aftertaste lingers just a bit.
D: I think I was expecting a bit more from the description but this beer actually comes across as very enjoyable and solid overall. Not the most complex and the barrel-aging barely comes through the other flavors but the chocolate and vanilla are detectable and the feel is almost spot on. Worth trying.

12oz single - seems like its been a while since the last brewers gone wild brew.
"double stout brewed with cocao nibs and aged in bourbon barrels with cocoa nibs and vanilla beans"
appearance: served in my great lakes chalice, chocolatey brown body, tan head with light retention
smell: chocolate milk, vanilla bean, mild bourbon, oats, subtle roastiness.
taste: Very interesting blend of great flavors - chocolate milk, cocoa nibs, LOTS of chocolate. vanilla bean, oats, fudge cake, bourbon plays nicely but not overpowering. I like this a lot, but some of their other barrel aged efforts have turned out better. Calling this a double stout is pushing it - it's a solid american stout
mouthfeel: a little thin, creamy
drinkability: good

4.47/5 rDev +7.5%
A - Deep motor oil brown, near black, with a big refined head that reminds me of a fine chocolate mousse.
S - Chocolate, Vanilla, Coffee and roasted malt. The nose almost reminds me of a Chocolate Mocha drink from Starbucks. Incredibly sweet and inviting.
T - Lives up to the nose. Rich chocolate and coffee flavors up front give way to a smooth vanilla roastiness out back. Absolutely delicious.
M - A bit thinner than I would have liked considering the richness of these flavors, and the carbonation finds the door rather quickly. However, it is not watery and still has some chewiness to it.
D - Incredibly drinkable Imperial Stout. I did not find the rich chocolate and vanilla sweetness to be cloying, but can imagine it being so to some peoples palettes. I will be picking up more of this one for sure. 2 or 3 of these in a night doesn't sound like it would be a challenge in the least.

12 oz. bottle poured into a tulip glass.
Appearance-Jet black in color, totally opaque. Thin brown head with some lacing and fair retention.
Aroma-Wow, kick ass. Complex aroma of roasted malt (coffee, chocolate, and slightly burnt) play in the background of the huge chocolate aroma from the cocoa nibs. Also prominent is a sour-oaky aroma and a light vanilla note. Hops are absent. This smells delicious.
Flavor-This beer is pure dessert. Smooth and complex flavor profile of dark chocolate, vanilla bean, oak, and bourbon is supported by undertones of coffee and roast. Some alcohol shows through in the finish, but is pleasant, and not hot. Sour tang present in the nose is much lighter in the flavor.
Mouthfeel-Full body, though not quite chewy. Moderate carbonation. Moderate alcohol warmth. Silky smooth.
This beer is pretty phenomenal. I don't think I could drink a ton, but its definitely delicious. This would go great with a ton of different desserts, but would also work quite well as a dessert on its own. Fantastic.

Super dark brown, black if you have to say it, in color. Thick brown head with ample retention.
Smelled of chocolate and some biscuit. Some sweet caramel to it but I think it was just more mild chocolate.
The chocolate is up front and strong. Very tasty. Vanilla and caramel top it off with bits of toffee and roasted chocolate malt.
This is a smooth and full filling beer. It's got a very creamy mouthfeel and is almost like a slice of chocolate-coffee cake.
This was really good, I wanted another but it was a gift pour from my main craft beer bar and I was appreciative of the tasty treat. Well made brew.

The Best Vision in Sports
Professional athletes cannot compromise on performance, so we engineered Flak Jacket® to offer the best of every technology.
Oakley Hydrophobic™ is a lens coating that prevents water from leaving streaks and sheens, which can compromise vision. Whether it's rain, sweat or splashing runoff, H2O can't get a foothold. And that's just half the story.
Skin oils, fingerprints and lotions are easily wiped away without leaving a residue, eliminating the haze that makes ordinary lenses a nightmare to keep clean. We even made the coating anti-static so it won't attract dust and dirt like ordinary lenses.
High Definition Optics® (HDO®)
High Definition Optics® (HDO®) take advantage of patented innovations, like XYZ Optics® for unbeatable clarity at all angles of vision — even at the sides of lens contours that open peripheral view and optimize protection against sun, wind and side impact. HDO® lenses surpass ANSI Z87.1 standards for clarity, refraction and prism.
Interchangeable Lenses
This gives athletes the best performance possible in any sport environment, and even lets them keep up with changing light. We created a full spectrum of lens options that help them optimize their vision.
Lens Shape Options
Two different lens shapes let you choose the amount of lens coverage, and the semi-rimless design ensures there's no frame rim to block downward view.
Performance Lens Colors
Our high-contrast colors optimize depth perception, and our neutral transmission colors offer truer color perception. Choose Iridium® lens coatings to reduce glare and get the best vision in bright sun. For the ultimate in glare-cutting performance, get lenses with Oakley polarization. We make them with a process that eliminates the haze and distortion found in ordinary polarized lenses.
The Perfect Fit
We designed Flak Jacket® with interchangeable nose pads, so you can pick the size that gives you a comfortable and precise fit. Two sizes come with every frame. You also get the best frame technologies in sports.
Stays in Place
To make sure the frame stays secure during sport competition, the nosepiece and stem sleeves are made of Oakley Unobtainium®. It's a proprietary synthetic that actually increases grip with perspiration.
We engineered Flak Jacket® to be so lightweight, you'll forget you have it on. Unlike ordinary frames that hook the ears, Flak Jacket® offers the comfort of a Three-Point Fit with balanced pressure points.
Our O Matter® frame material is engineered to withstand the abuse of athletics. It's one of the reasons why Flack jacket® meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for high-mass and high-velocity impact protection.

The Tower of Bees
This spectacular plant attracts bees like a honey-laden hive does hungry bears.
The tower of jewels (Echium wildprettii), native to the Canary Islands, is a biennal; it flowers only in the second year and then dies. So, for the first year, it looks quite insignificant. The second year: it shoots up an amazing nine or 10 feet, ablaze with blossoms the color of rubies.
If you ever see a tower of jewels blooming, you'll remember it. One bloomed last year in the Storer Garden in the UC Davis Arboretum. it drew scores of visitors toting cameras.
The same will hold true when several towers bloom next year in the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden planted last fall next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, UC Davis.
Visitors to the haven will see the "tiny" Echiums during the public opening on Sept. 11. They won't see the regal beauty unfold until 2011.
Meanwhile, we're savoring the three towers in our own bee friendly garden. So are the honey bees, hover flies, bumble bees, carpenter bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
The scouts (bees) arrive as soon as the temperature hits 50 degrees. Then they head back to their hives to alert the foragers. You can almost hear them Waggle-Dancing: "Fine quality, large quantity--hurry, hurry!" By mid-morning, the towers are abuzz with bees. By mid-afternoon, the bees sound like jet engines.

What a Show!
Everybody loves a bumble bee.
Especially the yellow-faced bumble bee, Bombus vosnesenskii.
And especially a queen.
Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, and first-year entomology graduate student Emily Bzydk collected a few native bees to show visitors at the Bohart Museum of Entomology during UC Davis Picnic Day last Saturday.
One of the bumble bees: a regal queen.
When Picnic Day ended, they kindly let me take her home to our tower of jewels (Echium wildprettii), a biennial plant that looks somewhat like a red-jeweled Christmas tree. "Tower of jewels" is indeed a fitting name. It towers (nine-feet high) and it sparkles like rubies.
We placed the lethargic queen on a blossom and fed her honey for quick energy. She quickly sipped about an eighth of a teaspoon, buzzed me twice (Hey, I'm your friend!), returned for more honey, and then took flight.
The queen circled the plant twice and was gone.
From the Bohart Museum display to a showy tower of jewels--all in one day.
Picnic Day.

Art review: 'George Bellows' at the Metropolitan Museum
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Ave. at 82nd Street; 212-535-7710 or metmuseum.org.
Through Feb. 18. 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday and Tuesday through Thursday, to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Recommended admission: $25, senior citizens $17, students $12.
There's something so perfectly American about George Bellows. He painted in the first quarter of the 20th century, a time when the waves of European modernism were hitting these shores. He knew about the avant-garde, but he was too passionately committed to realism to give it up for analytic cubism.
Something in the American character doesn't want to give up the tangible world. Although Bellows was born in the same year as Picasso – 1882 – he had less in common with him than with the passionate Van Gogh and the imaginative old masters.
He was an Ohio boy who came to New York City in 1904 hoping to become a newspaper illustrator. He enrolled at the Art Student's League where, under the tutelage of Robert Henri, he soon proved too talented for mere illustration work.
Henri, a member of the Ashcan School, told his students to embrace urban life in all its sordidness and squalor. Bellows responded with paintings of tenement blocks, dockworkers, construction sites and prizefighters – all executed with an expressionist fervor that you can see in his fluid brushstrokes and sweeps of the palette knife.
For various reasons, including his early death at age 42, Bellows has gotten short shrift by art historians. Now, an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum, the first big show of his work in 20 years, aims to put him in the highest pantheon of American art. He was a restless and expansive artist, always pushing on to the next level. By the end of his short career (a mere 19 years), he had graduated from gritty realism and was trying to achieve a kind of magic and mystery that we associate with painters like El Greco or Giorgione.
The city of his early paintings is crowded with slum children. He painted boys jumping off a rotting dock into the East River ("Forty-two Kids") and what looks like a whole neighborhood on the beach at Coney Island.
Bellows' realism had grit, but mere grit was never the point. Nor did he try to elicit pity or social outrage, as did the slum photographs of Jacob Riis. By focusing on kids rather than adults, he could make their irrepressible energy – not their hard circumstances – the true subject of his painting.
He did something similar with his boxing pictures. In his early masterpiece, "Stag at Sharkey's," it's not sport and certainly not heroism he was trying to capture, but the smack and the push of these combatants going at each other with awkward ferocity.
"I don't know anything about boxing," said Bellows. "I am just painting two men trying to kill each other."
Like the Hudson River School painters, Bellows tried to evoke that scary grandeur called the sublime. But where his predecessors found it in natural spectacles like Niagara Falls, Bellows found it in urban spectacles like the Pennsylvania Station excavation, a primordial pit where hellish bonfires burn after dark.
In contrast, his paintings of Riverside Park have a French sensibility, evoking canvases by Manet or Vuillard of well-dressed people strolling through artfully landscaped parks. He was a poet of winter scenes, too, as can be seen in "Blue Snow, The Battery," in which the bright smooth glaze of snow creates lyrical expanses of emptiness.
In the last five years of Bellows' life, he left realism for a more imagined world. "The White Horse" from 1922 throws you off balance with a strange leap of space, an abrupt slope between the horse and house in the middle ground. It's a signal that this luminous white horse is something more than a farm animal.
The same is true of "The Picnic," from 1924. It might be nothing more than a family outing on the shores of a charming lake. And yet, there's an otherworldliness about it, especially in the far-shore cottages, a dreamy place made more so by the duplicating reflections in the water.
You're left to guess at where Bellows would have gone with this kind of visionary painting had he lived to four score and ten instead of two score and two, but you can be sure there would have been more surprises along the way.

Chile star Alexis Sanchez is bound for the Camp Nou after the now ex-Udinese striker signed a five-year deal with Barcelona. Thus concludes a silly transfer saga that had somehow stretched on for months despite it being clear that Barcelona wanted to buy Sanchez and Sanchez wanted to play for the European Champions.
Of course, it might have taken so long because the move doesn't really make much sense. Barcelona are buying one of the very best players in the Serie A last season to reinforce their bench, which while probably beneficial to the team is also incredibly expensive - €43 for a guy expected to be on the second string is a little bit of a bizarre move. For Sanchez, you can see the point of moving onwards and upwards from Udinese, but the only way that this deal really helps him is if he's good enough to break into the Barcelona first team. Not many players are.

A DJ set from Brazilian beat-adventurer Amon Tobin and Joe "Doubleclick" Chapman
Amon Tobin presents Two Fingers DJ Set w/Eskmo(Le) Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street, New York, NY) Map it $20
Amon Tobin presents Two Fingers DJ Set w/Eskmo
Brazilian-born Amon Tobin first emerged between 1994-1995 with a string of 12" singles on a small London-based record label called 9Bar Records. The album that followed, "Adventures In Foam", paved the way for a whole generation of electronic productions and prompted his signing to the prodigious Ninja Tune in 1996. He has since gone on to record seven critically-acclaimed albums under his own name on Ninja that have since helped define the label as a force in musical innovation and diversity. In addition, Amon has produced a small number of radically diverse original scores ranging from George Palfi's cult cinema oddity Taxidermia to Tom Clancy's video game blockbuster Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
The depth and scope of Amon Tobin's work has had a far-reaching influence, garnering respect amongst producers and artists both within and outside electronic music. Whether with the classical avant garde Kronos Quartet or D'n'B legends Noisia, or on his own in some invented form, Amon has established a reputation for musical ingenuity that is unconfined by genre. Over a fifteen-year-long career Amon Tobin remains among one of the most visionary electronic artists of a generation.
Brendan Angelides is a Los Angeles based electronic music producer who records and performs live as Eskmo. His multi-genre compositions have been featured on influential labels like Ninja Tune, Warp Records and Planet Mu. While Angelides' tracks encompass a wide range of electronic styles, he avoids classifications. His 2010 full length, released on Ninja, was described by Future Sequence as "Create(ing) his own sound." and BBC Music noted the album as "Electrifyingly enveloping…Mind-melting invention."

Big box retailers may get the bulk of the attention on Black Friday, but small businesses hope Saturday will bring shoppers through their doors.
Small Business Saturday aims at driving traffic to local businesses and helping them thrive.
While we see the long lines forming well before retail chains even open year after year as shoppers rush to tackle the Black Friday exclusives, you won't see Annette Dean there.
"It would scare me. The quantity of people. It doesn't work for me," Dean said. She has owned a women's fashion store in Carytown for 34 years and has a key to her success. "Dedicate your time to the customer. See who you sell. You can't go too extreme and you can't go too boring."
Nicole Riley, State Director of the National Federation of Independent Business, says weak sales have consistently been a problem.
That's why the Saturday after Thanksgiving will be a big deal for small businesses nationwide. They'll offer deals and discounts a day after Black Friday. Riley says local shops need the support.
"They're able to keep their doors open. They might even be able to hire a new employee and many of our small business owners contribute to their community," she added.
"We had no competition 30 years ago in Richmond and we have lots of competition now with the malls," said Dean.
Riley's group conducted research that found 70 % of shoppers who hit the stores last year for Small Business Saturday will be back this year and they plan to spend the same if not more than they did in 2011.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (Univ. of Ark.) - The No. 7 University of Arkansas women's track and field team opened its 2013 season with a dual victory over Oklahoma State Friday at the Randal Tyson Track Center. The Razorbacks collected nine event titles on their way to an 81-61 win. Arkansas was paced by multiple winners Makeba Alcide, Gwendolyn Flowers, Ivanique Kemp and Tamara Myers.
"We brought everyone back a little early and we've been working their tails off," head coach Lance Harter said. "The opportunity that they'd step up and run nine lifetime PRs is more than anyone could dream of. We had some great performances. Sandi Morris was competing in her first meet for us and threatening 14 feet in the pole vault. Makeba Alcide, in a one-hour pentathlon, was remarkable.
"I think we're in a spot where our middle-distance and distance crew could do some good things. Then, Gwen Flowers ran a huge PR in the 300 (meters). I know we ran some off-distance events but I think those give us a good indication of what we're going to see next week and the weeks to come."
Myers wrapped the day with three event wins. Individually, she swept the top spot in the long jump and triple jump with personal-best marks in both events. Myers finished the dual meet with efforts of 6.10m/20-0.25 in the long jump and 12.95m/42-6 in the triple jump. With her mark in the triple jump, she equaled the fourth-best jump in school history. She also collected a win as the third leg of the 4x400-meter relay.
On the track, Flowers raced to first-place performances at 60 and 300 meters. She posted a winning time of 7.63 in the first 60-meter race of her collegiate career. She returned to the track an hour later to post the second-fastest time in school history at 300 meters, crossing the finish line in a personal-best time of 38.49, just .1 off the school record held by former Razorback standout Whitney Jones.
Replicating a pentathlon over the course of the two-hour meet, Alcide competed in six events and came away with two wins and three personal bests. She tied teammate Kirsten Hessletine for the win in the high jump and anchored the Razorbacks' 4x400-meter relay to a win. During the meet, Alcide set career-best performances at 600 meters (1:34.54) and shot put (12.23m/40-1.5), and tied her PR in the 60-meter hurdles (8.62).
Kemp was the fourth multiple winner for the Razorbacks during Friday's meet. She came away with an individual title in the 60-meter hurdles and was the second leg was the victorious 4x400-meter relay. The relay team consisted of Alcide, Kemp, Myers and newcomer Megan Paul. Kemp also turned in a personal-best time of 7.73 at 60 meters, good for second place in the event.
In her Arkansas debut, junior transfer Sandi Morris won the pole vault with an NCAA-leading clearance of 4.25m/13-11.25. She was perfect through her first four attempts before missing her initial pass at 13-11.25. Morris enters the Razorback program as a three-time All-America performer in the pole vault, dating back to the first two years of her collegiate career at North Carolina.
Arkansas picked up the win and a pair of personal-best results in the mile. Dominique Scott broke away from the pack to take the tape in a personal-best time of 4:49.74. Teammates Kaitlin Flattmann and Shannon Klenke finished third and fourth, respectively. Klenke turned in a personal-best time of 5:05.17 during the race.
The Razorbacks return to action next weekend with a road trip to College Station, Texas, for the Texas A&M Triangular. Arkansas will be joined at the meet by Southeastern Conference mates LSU and host Aggies. Arkansas' next home meet will be contested Jan. 25-26 with the Razorback Team Invitational. As part of their home slate, the Razorbacks will also host the 2013 NCAA and SEC Indoor Championships later this winter.
Friday's meet was scored on a 5-3-2-1 scale with the first-place individual receiving five points and so on. Only two competitors per team scored in each event with the top-two finishers for both receiving the points.

The father of a Navy SEAL from Philadelphia discusses why he's suing

Mayfair native Michael Strange was one of 38 people killed when a Navy

Michael's father and some other families have filed a lawsuit

Strange says they made his son, a SEAL Team Six Special Forces

"How'd they know 10 days after killing bin Laden that it was

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) -- A long ride home to Louisiana for Christmas break gave Casey Jones a lot of time to think about his recently-injured knee.
And that wasn't necessarily a good thing.
"When it happened, I had never felt pain like that before," Jones said about landing awkwardly in the second half of the December 21st rout of Rheinhardt. "At that moment, I thought it was over for me."
Head coach John Shulman prayed for a Christmas miracle for his freshman forward, and he got a small one when Jones had an MRI on December 27. Originally feared to be a torn ACL, which would require six-to-eight months of rehab, Jones was diagnosed with a broken tibia.
The remedy: six-to-eight weeks of rest, which ended last week when Jones was fully cleared to return to practice.
"It's crazy how hard it was to be out," said Jones, who passed the time by watching film and studying opponents. "When I got back on the court, I couldn't stop smiling."
Shulman is smiling a bit more, too.
Jones had earned a starting spot from the start of the season with his aggressive play and athleticism. He averaged just 3.8 points and 3.5 rebounds in his eleven games before the injury, but his energy level and defensive presence were hard to replace.
"Casey was starting for a reason," Shulman said. "He wasn't just starting because he's my best buddy. He was starting for a reason, so no doubt we have to find him some minutes."
The plan will be more like finding him one minute at a time when he returns to the lineup Thursday against Furman (7 p.m. ET at McKenzie Arena).
Shulman knows the time off will catch up with Jones in a hurry, especially considering he was just starting to adjust to the speed of the college game when he went down.
"I think he could play about a minute before he passes out," said Shulman, half-joking. "Listen, six weeks of no weight-bearing, that's a long time. That's a long time to not put pressure on that leg."
Jones doesn't know how to do anything halfway, so his plan is to just go out and see how long he can go all-out.
"I'm not the type of person to ease my way into things, so when I get out there I'm going 200-percent," he said with a big smile. "When I get tired in that minute and 30 seconds, I'll guess I'll just be coming back out."
His return gives the Mocs time to build his stamina over the final three weeks of the season, hopefully putting him at near 100-percent for the Southern Conference Tournament in early March.
If that happens, Chattanooga will be back to full strength -- aside from injured point guard Dontay Hampton, who played just five games in the middle of the season due to injury -- for the most important stretch of the season.
"That'd be fun because Casey is one of our best defenders," Shulman said. "One of my former players Ricky Hood always reminded me, 'Offense puts fans in the stands, but defense wins championships.'
"If we can put another great defender out there, we're better defensively and we're better on the glass. That's what wins tournaments."
