If you'd like to watch the entire episode of Spike TV's 'Countdown to UFC 131', now you can. This is similar to every previous countdown, so in that regard there's nothing particularly noteworthy. It's customarily well done, but unspectacular.
What's more intriguing is Shane Carwin's attempt to sell the fight with recently cultivated histrionics.
It's well documented Carwin has been preparing for media for this UFC 131 bout by working with professional wrestling promoter Paul Heyman. The early report card on the effort is Carwin clearly is acting and can't quite pull it off, but that's still leagues of improvement above what used to be his indefatigable ability to remain uninspiring through promotional opportunities.
The takeaway here is that for visible fighters in important bouts, learning how to do media is an important skill. From the vantage points of modern mixed martial arts fighters, the additional task of mastering fight promotion often seems perfunctory at best, counterproductive at best given that's time which could be spent preparing for battle. That's unfortunately myopia that ultimately affects income, popularity and other essentials for long, healthy careers.
Kudos to Carwin for recognizing the unique opportunity afforded to him as a main event fighter and for reaching out to proven help in polishing critical career-building skills.

BOSTON (AP) - Democrat Edward Markey and Republican Gabriel Gomez are gearing up for the first of three televised debates in the state's special U.S. Senate election.
Markey, a 36-year veteran of the U.S. House, and Gomez, a financial executive and former Navy SEAL, are scheduled to square off Wednesday evening in a debate sponsored by WBZ-TV and The Boston Globe.
The candidates said they were looking forward to the debates that were shaping up as pivotal for both candidates but especially Gomez, who has touted his political newcomer status but remains an unknown quantity to many Massachusetts voters.
The winner of the June 25 special election will fill the Senate seat previously held by Secretary of State John Kerry.
Markey's campaign released a new radio ad in advance of the debate.
The ad seeks to press Gomez on a series of issues, including whether he supports or opposes the so-called "Blunt Amendment" that would have allowed employers to refuse coverage of services, such as birth control coverage, for "moral reasons."
Gomez has said that while he is Catholic and personally "pro-life" he would not push to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that established a nationwide right to abortion.
The ad also presses Gomez to release a full list of clients he's worked with during his years as a private equity investor with the firm Advent International.
Gomez is hoping to use the debate to give his campaign a boost and cast Markey as an out-of-touch Washington insider who has spent 36 years in Congress and doesn't understand the needs of ordinary citizens.
"This election is about the future, not the past. It's about having new ideas and fresh ideas as opposed to old and stale ideas," Gomez said during a recent campaign stop at Polartec, a Lawrence textile company.
Markey has portrayed the debate as a chance to "talk about the big issues and to ensure that the voters out there know what the differences are between me and Gabriel Gomez."
Both campaigns are also calling on big names in their respective parties for help raising money and energizing voters for them.
Markey is looking forward to an assist from President Barack Obama, who plans to stump for Markey next week in Boston.
Gomez, who has lately tried to distance himself from the National Republican Party, is getting a visit from New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Thursday. They plan to visit the marathon bombing memorial in Copley Square.
Outside money is also beginning to pour into the election, much of it in support of Markey.
The League of Conservation Voters, a Washington D.C.-based environmental advocacy group, is pledging a $400,000 direct mail campaign to back Markey. The group hopes to reach 150,000 Massachusetts households with the flyers.
NextGen Committee, a group backed by California billionaire Thomas Steyer, has launched an online ad campaign for Markey, including spending $153,000 for ads on Pandora, a popular Internet radio site. The group is opposed to the Keystone XL Pipeline project.
Markey and Gomez also were scheduled to meet in western Massachusetts on June 11 and again in Boston on June 18.

Hoskins spot-on for Albion
4:11pm Tuesday 20th November 2012 in Albion By Andy Naylor , Chief sports reporter
Albion's penalty woes could be over.
They have scored from the spot again after Stephen Dobbie's late success from 12 yards at Wolves earlier this month.
This time it was Will Hoskins in a 1-1 friendly draw against his old club Watford this afternoon.
Hoskins accepted the responsibility of equalising in the second half of the run-out at Watford's London Colney training ground, even though Dobbie was also in the side.
Dobbie's conversion at Wolves ended a sequence of four saved penalties out of 11 for Albion, the latest Craig Mackail-Smith's second spot-kick against Leeds at The Amex.
The Seagulls' line-up against Watford, watched by boss Gus Poyet, also included Inigo Calderon at centre half and midfielders Gary Dicker, Ryan Harley, Matt Sparrow and David.
The Watford team contained players potentially available for loan as well before Thursday's deadline. Clubs represented by scouts included Brentford and AFC Wimbledon.
Watford's first half goalscorer was Geoffrey Mujangi Bia, on loan from Belgian club Standard Liege.

Team Eliana walks in the first ever Race for Every Child by Team Eliana - 11 months ago
"This picture is of "Team Eliana", which walked in yesterday's first-ever Race for Every Child. The Race is a fundraiser for Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC. One of my twin daughter's, Eliana, has been hospitalized there for 9 out of her 17 months with dilated cardiomyopathy. She received a new heart 2 weeks ago, and family and friends came out to show their support and gratitude at the Race. The t-shirts looked great! Thank you for considering this entry.

November 19, 2012
Awakened from 30 minutes of sleep Friday night, I stumbled into the newsroom shortly after midnight. Our computer system had suffered a catastrophic failure.
I expected to find a newsroom full of people cussing like drunken sailors. Instead, I found editors efficiently and quickly working to jury-rig a way to still get the paper out. The copy editors and page designers were throwing out solutions -- and even laughter -- almost as fast as problems arose.
The crisis reminded me of what a special newsroom team we have and how fortunate I am to work with all of these journalists. I also have to salute everyone else in our operation who worked tirelessly to make up for the lost time and still get Saturday's edition to your driveway.
We apologize for the late delivery and assure you we are working to keep this technical problem from crippling us in such a way again.
As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to say how much I appreciate the opportunity to serve this community and how grateful I am to work with everyone at the Advocate. Most of all, I want to thank my wife, Paula, for supporting me in a crazy profession that occasionally calls me back to work in the middle of the night.
Paula and I share a moment at the University of Houston-Victoria's Annual Report banquet last week. (Photo by Kevin Jordan)

The United Way of Smith County teamed up with Randall Noe Fiat to give a car away to one generous East Texas woman.
Beverly Collins has worked as an educator in Tyler for more than 30 years and has consistently donated to the local United Way.
Randall Noe Fiat and United Way of Smith County created a drawing for those who pledged to contribute at least five dollars a week to the United Way of Smith County for one year.
The winner of the drawing would be presented with a brand new 2013 Fiat 500, or they could choose a cash option.
United Way staff said they could not be more happy that Collins' name was drawn.
Collins said she has donated to the United Way for years, but originally did not even enter her name in the drawing for a new card.
"I didn't even fill out my entree form and our secretary encouraged me to at Mentoring Minds, and they called Tuesday and my name was drawn. I feel so blessed to have won the car," Collins explained.
Even though Collins said she has never had a new car, at the end of the day, she decided to take the cash.
"It enabled me to give my children a better Christmas and also to save a little money because I do need to buy a house. Also, it helped me give back to the community, which was really important to me because it was a gift from God to me literally. So, I've been able to give back some money too," Collins said.
Collins said she has so much joy when she is able to give back to her community.
"I donate to the United Way because they support so many different organizations. I really believe without non-profit organization like the United Way, many people in Tyler would not be served," Collins said.
Reese Anderson is the Campaign Director for the United Way. She said last year, 64,000 Smith county residents were helped by programs supported by people who gave to their local United Way.
Anderson said every dollar given goes directly to meeting the needs of people right here in Smith County.
"They're wonderful people; I've worked with them for years. They really have a heart for the community. It's an honor to have received the car in this way," Collins said.

Implicit in many of the guidelines in this document is the availability to the patient of an individual with expertise in renal dietetics. Implementation of many of the guidelines concerning nutritional assessment (anthropometry, subjective global assessment, dietary interviews and diaries, and integration of the results of nutritional measurements) and nutritional therapy (developing a plan for nutritional management, counseling the patient and his/her family on appropriate dietary protein and energy intake, monitoring nutrient intake, educational activities, and encouragement to maximize dietary compliance) is best performed by an individual who is trained and experienced in these tasks. Although occasionally a physician, nurse, or other individual may possess the expertise and time to conduct such activities, a registered dietitian, trained and experienced in renal nutrition, usually is best qualified to carry out these tasks. Such an individual not only has undergone all of the training required to become a registered dietitian, including, in many instances, a dietetic internship, but has also received formal or informal training in renal nutrition. Such a person, therefore, is particularly experienced in working with MD patients as well as individuals with CRF.
There appears to be a general sense among renal dietitians, based on experience, that an individual dietitian should be responsible for the care of approximately 100 MD patients but almost certainly no more than 150 patients to provide adequate nutritional services to these individuals.241,242 Because, in many dialysis facilities, the responsibilities of the renal dietitian are expanded beyond the basic care described in these guidelines (eg, monitoring protocols and continuous quality improvement), these facilities should consider a higher ratio of dietitians to patients. Randomized prospective controlled clinical trials have not been conducted to examine whether this is the maximum number of patients at which dietitians are still highly effective.

No justice, no food, no 4th of July celebration
by Manuel La Fontaine
It has been 83 hours since I last chewed on anything. Many people who are celebrating the Fourth of July do not have the slightest idea that they are celebrating more than just "independence" day for the European immigrants who defended the foreign land they had settled in from their fellow countrymen back home in Europe.
They are also celebrating the massacre of millions of Native people who inhabited the lands we call USA. They are celebrating the kidnapping of millions of Africans from their homeland and their transportation throughout the world, but particularly to the land we now call America, into a life of slavery.
They are celebrating the decimation of culture, tradition and people in countries throughout the world where America and its military troops have transcended upon and unleashed their genocidal practices upon the people of those lands. They are celebrating the inhumane conditions many of America's own "citizens" have to endure in intentionally impoverished areas caused by its own exploitative economic and corrupt political system that spread outside of her physical boundaries.
They celebrate torture caused by its own military pawns abroad in places America has troops in when seeking intelligence and subordination from its captives, as well as domestically, in their own maximum security units or, better put, concrete torture chambers in America's prisons. Some of us WILL NEVER celebrate a date that desecrates our ancestors and our history and undermines our resistance.
I stand with all my brothers still on hunger strike inside the SHUs at Pelican Bay and Corcoran and on the mainlines in Centinela and Folsom and all other prisoners throughout California and the nation in solidarity with the hunger strike.
I stand with all my brothers still on hunger strike inside the SHUs at Pelican Bay and Corcoran and on the mainlines in Centinela and Folsom and all other prisoners throughout California and the nation in solidarity with the hunger strike.
Imagine being caged up alone for 23 hours a day in a 6-by-10-foot concrete chamber. Imagine that your only human contact in the last 10 or 15 years is that of guards putting shackles on you, or a vague recollection of someone who told you she was from the medical field.
Imagine if you had not seen or talked to another African-American person in months, years or even decades.
These brothers are not asking to be released. They are demanding their human rights. They are demanding an end to torture.
Please help me raise awareness. If you haven't already, please sign the petition. Call your local legislator, CDC (California Department of Corrections) warden and other targets that are worried about the publicity, but need to protect their image. Spread the word. Talk to your friends, co-workers and others you meet.
Below is a link to the petition. Below that link are links on how to do more.

8 thoughts on "No justice, no food, no 4th of July celebration"
Richard's Angel
It is heart wrenching to know that we have decided that these citizens don't deserve to be treated like human beings. They are broken people that need to be restored, instead we torture them. Punish them further and shove them deeper into darkness to the point that there isn't any healing to be had in a dark concrete coffin. I have seen our loved one fade physically to a shadow of the man he once was. He has lost his hearing, and now his sight is dimming. His sentence was 25 to Life for possession of an empty bag of meth. Treatment would have served him, and society, better than to rot in a dark hole for the rest of his life. At 28, now 45, as a society we threw him away. The only crime that has kept him in darkness for 17 years is gang affiliation, although I doubt if anyone knows who he is after 17 years in the dark. In the past in prison eventually everyone ends up being loyal to his race. This strike shows that has changed they have come together as a group. On their own they have found away to fill the gap that has been the design of the prison as a society.↓
Think B4 you speak
Write ups for talking-saying hello-to another prisoner are what they use as evidence. I am sure I have said hello to some people that might be members of street gangs but that doesn't mean I know them. It doesn't mean my morals and values are in alignment with theirs. It is a greeting used in America when passing or seeing someone. When and where do we draw the line in punishment? They are not asking to be released; they are asking for a picture to send home, a call once a week so that their family doesn't have to drive 24 hours to see them for 1.5 hours on a Sat and Sun to say hello and how you are. A package of food to supplement the sickening diet they call food. No one wants to eat something that resembles cold vomit. Guards have agreed on many occasions that they wouldn't eat it either; luckily they don't have to, but our loved one has no choice.↓
Think B4 you speak
He has lost about 20-30 pounds; his cheeks sunken in as the bones of his face show perfectly. A package doesn't cost the prison money; the family pays for the package. They used to get paper to draw on, that is gone. Would art supplies at their own expense hurt anyone? They are asking for basic things; not wild ridiculous demands. PBSB has gotten away with a lot of things because they are so isolated that many of the families can not afford to visit and there are guys that have been there so long their mothers and fathers have died and no one remembers them. They are in their 50, 60, and 70's. After 40 and a long prison sentence the rate of people that return to prison goes way down. These are the men that could safely return to their families and become tax paying citizens. Why does that mean nothing?↓
Think B4 you speak
At 40 they can still work and be Fathers, Husbands, Sons, Uncles, Grandfathers, and a member of a family that would support and encourage them. Turning a blind eye and pretending that we are doing the right thing for those incarcerated for the non violent, non serious, victimless crimes based on the CDCR's theory that they MIGHT or COULD do something that MIGHT affect the security of the institution has to end. When does a "might" or "could" mean that they would? It is crazy to think that we need these guys locked in a dark cold hole in a concrete jungle without light; purposely causing sensory deprivation because they "might "do something bad. It is worse than crazy is insane and unacceptable.↓
Think B4 you speak
Do you get a speeding ticket because you own a car and you MIGHT go over the speed limit? Or MIGHT run a red light? Or you MIGHT make an illegal U-turn? We have lost sight of the fact that a punishment should fit the crime. All for money, for sake of the prison guards union and job security. Enough is enough we must stand up and tell the legislators, governor, CDCR (R means rehabilitation-there is none of that!!) that we are fed up and want to see proof of why we have so many men and women in prison. Going back to 1994 we need to look at the crime that triggered 3X. If only 800 are in for non serious or non violent 3X and they have done 15 years or more-release them. If they get in trouble again for a serious or violent crime then give them life and be done. But it has to be a real crime, not a drug possession or a DUI without hurting anyone. Not that I believe in driving drunk; if it is victimless and no one or property is damaged, then punish them and chances are they won't do it again.↓
Think B4 you speak
If they do those things punish them according to the laws we already have on the books. We don't need to get meaner and harsher because we don't want to deal with such a large group of people. There are more people in our society so there is going to be a bigger number of people going through the courts, but stuffing them into prisons is like a mother with too many kids that shoves those that are in need of more discipline in the basement and forgetting about them because they bother us. We have lost our patience and don't have the time or money to get them proper treatment for what is causing them to act like that. It might be counseling, or treatment, or education. The only ones that benefit from stuffing our needy citizens into prisons is the CCPO-the prison guards union that the Governor Brown gave a 3% wage increase too while the rest of us are taking furlough days, pay cuts, losing jobs, paying more for college, and struggling to survive as a small business in a rough economy so we can keep families fed and our taxes paid. It all needs to change. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results.↓
Think B4 you speak
The formula has to change; the way we deal with our citizens in crisis has to be different and paying for more prisons and guards isn't the answer. We are warehousing too many people that could be productive in society but will not be in another 10 or 20 years of being kept in concrete coffins without any natural light. They are killing our loved ones one day at a time, one year at a time, one decade after another after another. They are driving them to the edge of sanity and pushing them into insanity and complete psychological destruction. Is that better for us a society? Change of mind is what we need. If you don't teach those who do not know how to accomplish success they never will. Teach them and they can be the teacher for those watching and it will create a perpetual motion. It is nice to see all the races united for such a worthy cause. Fighting for those that have no voice and no family to speak on their behalf. Take care of each other and my prayers are with you.↓
No more Turmoil
The effort to keep the racism alive in this country is going on at full blast . This hunger strike shows us that Racial unity comes not from discord , but from acceptance of each others problems and compassion towards the fact that were all in this together . For me , an ex gang member , to hear that all races are united in the battle for humane treatment , it brings joy to me for the fact is that we alone can bring about change for our youth and our elders . I am of Mexican decent and i stand with my African brothers , From southern CAlifornia to Northern CAlifornia all of us , as one . We must unite and show the world that we are in fact Their brothers as well , wether they accpet us or continue to stereotype us into the same categories that hold us back , its been going on since the days of segration , cartoons such as speedy gonzales and others , made us look like we were all the same , somehow we became the cartoons and now do the work for them . We must stand with real pride for our communities and show what we really are about .↓

Etro Gives Paisley An Artistic Makeover-------
Etro's creative director of accessories, Jacopo Etro, decided it was high time to give paisley some love. "Paisley is the DNA of our brand, and we wondered how it would look through the eyes of contemporary artists. Given that the pattern's historical roots are Indian, it was logical to team up with Indian artists—they obviously grew up and were surrounded by the print, so I was intrigued to see how they saw it in a modern sense."
Etro sought out duo Thukral & Tagra—cult artists who he has long admired—and invited them to collaborate on a capsule of collection of accessories, which go on sale today in the Bond Street store. A series of bags in jewel-toned blue, green, and a deep mahogany brown get the full Thukral & Tagra treatment, which is based on surrealistic, fantastical notions. "I asked the artists to go through the archives, and before you knew it, they were on the computer making up these prints and almost obsessively creating these repeat patterns in a numeric fashion," said Etro.
The Thukral & Tagra prints are actually renderings of houses festooned with lights and surrounded by gardens. "That was the artists' little tongue-in-cheek poke at the burgeoning nouveau riche in India. The two gentlemen thought that this moment in Indian history had to be recorded." An event will be held tomorrow night at the brand's Bond Street shop to celebrate the launch, and Etro will further endorse his admiration of the artists by exhibiting ten of their works. "Of course, since this is Frieze week, I thought it was a good idea to give these incredible artists a little bit more global exposure."

Larry Ardrey Jr., 27, of Greenvillage Road, Chambersburg, allegedly took two of three scheduled payments from property owners but has not completed the work or returned to the job site, according to court records.
A Chambersburg Police Department patrolman was called to 450 Center St. for a report of theft by deception. There, Theresa and Richard Ramsey explained that they hired Larry Ardrey Jr., owner of Concrete Pro, to replace the sidewalk in front of their home. A price was agreed upon and a contract was drawn up between the two parties.
The Ramseys gave Ardrey two checks, each for $1,533 to pay for the supplies and excavation of their sidewalk, according to the affidavit. Ardrey was to receive a final check of $1,533 when the job was completed.
Around Aug. 15 excavation was complete by a subcontractor of Ardrey's. The excavation was completed and as of Sept. 22 Ardrey had not returned to the residence to complete the job. The Ramseys have attempted to contact him several times and he does not answer his phone or return their calls.
The patrolman spoke with Ardrey's father, Larry Ardrey.
"He advised that his son has done this same type of behavior to various individuals throughout Chambersburg and the rest of Franklin County. He stated his son obtains contracting jobs, starts the jobs, but never comes back to the job site and finishes the jobs. Ardrey Sr. stated he has spoken to his son about taking the money and not completing the jobs but his son will not listen and tells Ardrey Sr. he (junior) is the boss of Concrete Pro and not to worry about how he runs his business," the trooper stated in the affidavit.
Ardrey Sr. provided the patrolman with his son's address and phone number, and the officer left several voice messages with no calls returned.
With guidance from central court, charges were filed for home improvement fraud against Larry Ardrey Jr.

"He Doesn't Keep His Word"
Her Turn
"I know I sound like the classic nag," said Kathy, 30, an interior designer who's been married for five years. "I mean, what kind of woman thinks about divorcing her husband just because he leaves empty bottles on the kitchen counter instead of taking them to the curb for recycling? But it's not about the bottles. It's that Phil yesses me to death but never follows through. It reminds me of the way his mom and dad used to act with each other.
"His mother died two years ago, and the stuff from her house is sitting in a big pile in our basement. We have a small place and Phil knows I get nutty when junk is strewn all over. But because he thinks it's no big deal, the 'issue is off the table,' as he puts it. He's notorious for not discussing anything. Whenever I'm upset, he just cuts me off in an exasperated voice and leaves the room or turns back to the game on TV.
"Then there's the fact that he is always late. Last Sunday, for instance, we were due at 4 p.m. for my niece's third birthday party. I reminded Phil about it at lunch and again at 3:15 when he was mowing the lawn. At 3:45, I got in the car and sat there. Only then did he shower and change. We were 20 minutes late, and I was furious. Why is it that he's unfailingly prompt when meeting with colleagues but never when he's doing something with his wife? If he really loved me, he'd figure out a way to be on time.
"I grew up in New Jersey in a home where no one laughed. Whenever my dad was out of work, which was often, my mom would find a menial job so we could eat. My dad was an alcoholic who thought nothing of smacking my brother and me across the face. He never hit my mother, but she did nothing to stop him from hitting us."

retrieving JSON array from text file
Hi there all
I am fairly new to javascript and I am wondering how I would load a text file that has a JSON formatted array stored in it?
I can pass the array directly to the page via php though I want to be able to store the data and save on calls to the database and of course load the data dynamically to the page.

XMLHttpRequest can do this via JavaScript without having to reload the page. But it's going to have to talk to a PHP file which will have to get the JSON from the database anyway, so it's not going to save you on database calls.
The main advantage of XMLHttpRequests is that the user does not have to reload the page, i.e. they stay where they are but can get fresh bits of content from the server.

This is a fabulously comfortable bag. I've owned this…
Source: bought it used
Price Paid: Don't remember, probably less than $100.
This is a fabulously comfortable bag. I've owned this for at least 5 years and have slept comfortably well below 20 degree rating. It is a little heavy when compared to expensive 800 plus down bags, but it is roomy enough, filled well enough to get a good night's sleep in almost any conditions.
- True to temp rating
- Roomy
- Packs reasonably small
- Decent weight
- Can't think of any
As stated in the summary above, this has been an excellent bag for me and the uses I put it to.
Several nights last spring in Yellowstone with the temp at 26 in the morning, not a problem with this bag.
On a recent trip to Guadalupe Mtns we had one night right at 20 degrees, and the next night it was 14! Definitely below the published temp for this bag. With long johns on I was comfortable the entire night. Never woke up from being cold.
Also, as I am a smaller guy (5'6"- 160 lbs) a regular length bag has plenty of room for me. I really can roll around in the bag and not feel cramped or restricted.
This bag does have a full length zipper which makes entry and exit an easy, non-complicated affair.
I have used the bag on a couple pack trips where of course a lighter weight bag would have been great, but for the cost vs benefit I'm quite satisfied. It is NOT an ultra-light 800+ fill wt bag, but it doesn't cost like one either.
If cost and comfort are part of the equation for you when gear shopping, I don't think you can go wrong with the Piute.

Design: mummy
Fill: 600 fill down
Temperature Rating: minus seven celsius
Weight: 1.3kilo
Price Paid: £139.99
Great bag, used in winter in a Scottish mountain hut; I had absolutely no problems. Fits really well. Didn't get cold spots and down didn't shift.
I am 6 foot 3 and the bag fits like it was tailormade and at the price I paid I have to take my hat off to the developers at Mountain Hardwear.

POLICE are yet to charge the 25-year-old driver who fled the scene of a serious car crash at the Orange hospital on Monday.
Two vehicles collided at about 1.38pm, causing a car leaving the hospital to be rolled onto its side, with the other vehicle coming to rest on top of it.
The 25-year-old man fled the scene, leaving a male passenger in the car, and ran towards the Orange Ex-Services Country Club golf course.
Police arrested the man at the golf course a short time later.
Inspector Dave Harvey said police were awaiting the results of blood and urine tests, but it is believed alcohol and speed were a factor in the collision.
He expected charges would follow.
Police cordoned off the area after the collision and restricted traffic on Forest Road.
It took emergency services crews about 30 minutes to remove the male passenger from one car and an hour to free the female driver of the other car.
The extent of their injuries are unknown but both were in Orange hospital in a stable condition on Monday afternoon.

Tiger Basketball Set to Kick Off Season
MARSHALLTOWN, IA - The focus for the MCC women's basketball team's 2012-2013 season will be consistency and hard work. The Tigers look to improve on last year's 11-17 record and move their way to the top half of the Iowa Community College Conference standings.
"Our goal this year is to become a more consistent team," said MCC head coach Alison Lacey. "We are working daily on giving as much effort as we can on every play, each time we step on the court. We know in order to compete with DMACC and Kirkwood in our conference, that we have to work as hard as we can as a team."
The Tigers open their regular season by traveling to Grand View University taking on the Viking JV team on November 1. Grand View's varsity team is currently ranked number 8 in the NAIA Division II preseason poll, so the Tigers know that their first game will be an early challenge.
"Grand View has a great program, so we know that this will be a tough contest for us," commented Lacey. "We are just excited for our first game where the lights are on and a win or loss goes on our record."
The Tigers will look for leadership to come from sophomore returner Shana Lee (Milwaukee, WI), and sophomore transfer Mady Van Metre (Marshalltown, IA). "Shana has done a good job early during practices and Mady brings a lot of positive energy to the court" said Lacey. "We want to be respected on and off the court, and we will look to these two to help lead us. Our team should be looked at as the team that works hard and does the right thing."
With a roster of just 9 players, the Tigers will work through playing tired, and competing for a full 40 minutes. "We are going to need a lot of minutes out of our players; we are going to have to work on our physical toughness and staying out of foul trouble," said Lacey.
The Tigers will also look to the inside game of sophomore returner Latrice McMullen (Waterloo, IA). "We are confident with our size and matching up in the conference," commented Lacey. "We will need Latrice to come out and work on dominating at the post position."
Thursday's game against the Vikings is scheduled to start at 7:00 pm. The Tiger's first home game is set for November 14th when they host North Central Missouri College at the Student Activities Center. Game time for the North Central match-up is scheduled for 5:30 pm.
