LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
For the second straight night, the South Laurel Lady Cardinals were taken to overtime in the Candy Cane Classic. First it was Saturday's 67-66 win over Upperman, Tn. Then on Sunday, South Laurel fell to Barbourville, 58-54, to finish in fourth place in their own tournament.
In the loss to Barbourville, the Lady Cards were 16-of-34 from the free throw line, including going 10-of-18 in the second half. Coach Konnie Snyder said that was the difference in the game.
"They made their free throws," Snyder said. "We missed ours in crucial moments toward the end of the game."
The game was filled with fouls, as the two teams combined to shoot 75 free throws. Barbourville (11-3) went to the charity stripe 41 times, hitting 22 of those.
"A lot of the fouls I didn't agree with," Snyder said. "But it didn't change my way to thinking. We were still going to take the ball hard to the basket."
South Laurel (7-8) had three players foul out in the game. Emily Clonce, Cassandra Johnson and Brittany Vandeventer all watched the final few minutes of the game from the bench. Clonce fouled out with 35.9 seconds left in regulation. At that point, she had scored 16 points for her team.
"That was a blow when Emily fouled out," Snyder said. "It was frustrating because it was a touch foul."
The Lady Tigers used a swarming defense on Taylor Arthur, limiting the South Laurel center to 13 points as she found herself double and triple teamed every time she touched the ball.
South Laurel led after one, 20-14. Clonce scored eight of her points in the first quarter, but was whistled for her second foul going for a steal with 1:01 left. She spent the remainder of the half on the bench.
The second quarter saw the free throw woes begin for South Laurel, as the Lady Cards hit just 2-of-6, but were still able to lead at the half, 29-27, thanks to four points in the final 1:34 from Shelby Davis.
Every time one team would build on its lead, the other would battle back to reclaim it. Barbourville led 38-33 with 4:12 left in the third before South cut the lead to three, 39-36, on a three by Johnson. The Lady Tigers led, 41-36, after three.
Clonce scored the first four South Laurel points of the fourth quarter, but it could have been more, as she hit two of her five free throw attempts. Her second make, at the 5:27 mark, cut the lead to one, 41-40. But seconds later, she picked up her fourth foul and again went to the bench.
A steal and basket by Kara Erslan gave Barbourville a 44-40 lead before Johnson was fouled. She made both of her free throws to cut the lead back to two, 44-42.
An offensive rebound and putback by Arthur tied the game, 44-44, with 3:08 left. She was also fouled on the play by Kelsey Erslan, her fifth, sending her to the bench for the rest of the game. Arthur completed the three-point play to give her team a 45-44 lead.
Karli Parker then missed her shot, but Clonce, who had returned to the game, was there for the offensive rebound and putback. South was now up by four, 47-44, with 1:39 left.
Two free throws by Erslan cut the lead to 47-46. Parker was then fouled, sending her to the line for a 1-and-1. She made the first, but missed the second, leaving South up by two, 48-46.
A shot by Amber Mills missed, but Tyra Bunch was there to grab the rebound on the weak side for the basket. She was also fouled by Clonce, her fifth and final foul. Bunch missed her free throw, leaving the game tied, 48-48, and the game went into overtime.
Johnson fouled out at the start of the OT. The two teams continued to trade the lead. A basket by Arthur made it 50-49 in favor of South. Mills answered on the other end to put Barbourville up, 51-50. Parker then hit 1-of-2 free throws to tie the game, 51-51, with 2:04 left.
From there, Barbourville outscored South, 7-3, over the final 1:49 to take the 58-54 win.
For the game, South shot 23.5 percent from the field, hitting 18-of-68. The Lady Cards committed 19 turnovers. Barbourville shot 36.7 percent (18-of-49) and committed 15 turnovers. South outrebounded Barbourville, 50-39.
The Lady Cards are now off until January 7 when they will host Corbin.
"We are probably going to be shooting a lot of free throws during that time," Snyder said.
South Laurel 67, Upperman, Tn., 66 (OT)
On Saturday, Taylor Arthur scored 22, and Karli Parker chipped in with 17 as South Laurel downed Upperman, Tn., 67-66, in an overtime thriller.
"It was a war," coach Konnie Snyder said. "Both teams battled toward the end."
Free throws, a struggle for South Laurel for much of the season, actually helped the Lady Cards in this game, as they went 23-of-32 for 72 percent. Snyder was pleased with that aspect of the game, especially from Parker. "I thought Karli stepped up her game and hit some big free throws down the stretch," Snyder said. Parker was 6-of-7 over the fourth quarter and overtime period.
Defense also played a key role for South Laurel, as Arthur and Emily Clonce were dominate under the basket. Both girls had four blocks for the Lady Cards.
"Emily and Taylor's blocks gave us a lot of possession," Snyder said."
Upperman led after one, 13-8, but South battled back to take a 24-23 lead at the half. A 14-9 third quarter gave the Lady Cards a 38-32 advantage heading into the fourth.
South led an eight point lead, 40-32, early in the fourth quarter before the Lady Bees started their comeback, eventually taking a 44-43 lead before a three from Parker gave South a 46-44 advantage with four minutes left.
South led, 55-51, with 1:38 left after Parker and Preslie Baker both made two free throws. But the Lady Bees would outscore South, 5-1, to tie the game at 56-56 and send it into the overtime period.
A basket by Arthur, followed by Parker following her own miss for a basket, put the Lady Cards up, 60-56, with 2:15 left. Upperman's Brooke Farris would hit a three at the 1:36 mark to tie the game, 61-61, before South ended the OT session with a 6-3 run to claim the 67-66 win.
Upperman hit 8-of-28 from three point land, and were led by Klaudia Hall's 25 points.

A number of loose ends were tied up late in the summer, including the shoring up of all necessary funders, approvals and collaborators.
Wells Fargo Bank has purchased the low-income tax credits allocated from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Authority, estimated at about $12 million. At least five national banks bid for the credits.
The additional $8 million in funding is being covered by city and state funding.
The proposed six-story building will be home to 56 one-bedroom units designed for people age 62 and over. A portion of the residences will be dedicated to low-income adults.
This summer, organizers attained zoning, building, environment and other necessary permits, said Mark Segal, PGN publisher and president of the Dr. Magnus Hirschfield Fund, which is spearheading the project.
The Redevelopment Authority, which had been occupying the site, 249-257 S. 13th St., vacated the property last week.
Segal said cleanup of the current property has begun, and plans are underway for its demolition.
"The project is moving forward very quickly," he said.
The current building will be completely leveled, and groundbreaking, slated for late October, will take place on a clear lot.
Developer Pennrose Properties has chosen Domus Inc. as the general contractor after a competitive bid process.
"We are happy to be working with them," said Pennrose development officer Jacob Fisher. "They are a class act. Pennrose has worked with them at least 20 times in the past and they have consistently delivered a superior product in the required time frame. They are also a great choice for a high-profile Center City job."
Fisher said the company has completed "dozens" of projects in the city and is known for its "quality and integrity."
The search for subcontractors has begun, and Pennrose and Domus plan to make a best effort to utilize LGBT-owned businesses where appropriate.
WRT Design will serve as the architect.
Fisher said WRT was the "obvious choice."
"They are a leading design firm with a national and international reputation," he said. "We knew they would bring creativity and skill to the job. We also knew that they have a deep bench of talented architects and that they would have no difficulty producing the design documents on an accelerated schedule."
Fisher said the job is moving along "faster than anyone anticipated."
The name of the residences will be unveiled during the groundbreaking ceremony. Details about the ceremony will be available in October.
DMH Fund also added two new board members, former Washington Square West Civic Association president Judith Applebaum and out Court of Common Pleas Judge Dan Anders.
"I'm proud to be part of a premier project that will lead the nation in providing LGBT-friendly, affordable housing for seniors," Anders said.
Anders noted the building will be a certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design property, a federal designation for eco-friendly structures.
Renderings released this week show that the indoor lobby will feature a fireplace and a wall of windows overlooking a 6,000-square-foot courtyard.
The L-shaped building will include 2,700 square feet of rentable space on the ground floor.
Anders said the property is shaping up to be the "crown jewel of architecture in the Gayborhood."

Tigers (0-0) vs. Duke (1-0)
Kickoff: 3:30 p.m.
Series: Duke leads, 1-0
Last meeting: Duke 38, Memphis 14 (2012)
THE STORYLINE: Paxton Lynch will start at quarterback for the Tigers and become the first freshman to start the season at the position since 1986. But a freshman starting at quarterback for the U of M is not unique. Lynch is the third freshman to start in four years, following Ryan Williams in 2010 and Taylor Reed in 2011.
THE PLAYMAKERS: Each side has its share. Duke will be led by receiver Jamison Crowder, a 5-9 junior who returned five punts for 113 yards in last week's lopsided home win over North Carolina Central. Included in his performance was a 76-yard return for a TD. Duke cornerback Ross Cockrell has nine career pass interceptions and 30 pass breakups. Lynch will be wise to avoid passes in his direction.
The Tigers counter with receiver Keiwone Malone who, like Crowder, returns punts with a flair. He led Conference USA last year in the category. True freshman running back Marquis Warford is an electrifying, elusive runner who could create havoc in the open field.
THE STATISTIC: There are actually two. 1) Memphis hasn't beaten an opponent from a BCS automatic qualifying conference since 2004. 2) Memphis hasn't won a season-opening game since the same season. As for the losses since then? Five to Ole Miss, two to Mississippi State and last year's loss to UT Martin.
THE MATCHUP: It will occur up front as the U of M's defensive line, considered the strength of what was an improved unit a year ago, battles a veteran Duke offensive line. Memphis was unable to slow a Duke offense that amassed 500 yards in last year's game, but this Tiger defense has had a year working under coordinator Barry Odom.
THE HONOREES: The U of M will honor the 1963 team, the last unbeaten squad in the program's history, and also retire the jersey of legendary Tiger John Bramlett, who played from 1959 to '62 before embarking on a professional baseball career. He switched to pro football in 1965 and was AFL Rookie of the Year runnerup to Joe Namath in 1965.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Duke is a slight favorite and coming off a 45-0 victory over an outmanned opponent. Memphis did not play last weekend, one of only six teams in the nation receiving an opening-week bye. This will be an intriguing matchup, but the Tigers, starting their second season under Justin Fuente, may be up to the challenge. They've added speed and talent, but will need a boost from their special teams - a group that led them to their only TDs a year ago - to step up. MEMPHIS 27, DUKE 24

Crunchy Oven Fries
These crunchy oven fries are soul-satisfyingly good. Deeply crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Salty and garlicky and addictive and just totally French-fry-like. This recipe is adapted from 'America's Test Kitchen', from a recipe that uses all vegetable oil, more garlic, and more seasonings overall (including garlic powder, which seems redundant to me). You make these with the skins still on, thereby keeping intact much of the potato's nutritional value. And you use healthy oils, thereby making the most of the grease factor.
4 garlic cloves (or 1 garlic clove the size of a baby's fist), smashed, peeled and pressed through a garlic press or finely chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (about 3 or 4)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, though this is good for slowing the kids down a bit
- Heat oven to 475. Quarter the potatoes lengthwise, then cut each quarter further into 2 or 3 skinny, even wedges.
- Combine the garlic and oil in a large bowl and microwave until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour off most of the oil onto a rimmed baking sheet, and tilt the sheet to coat it; you will leave behind the garlic with around 1 tablespoon of oil in the bowl, and this is just right.
- Add the potatoes to the bowl and use a rubber spatula to toss and coat them with the oil and garlic. Wrap the bowl tightly in plastic wrap and microwave on high power until the potatoes are translucent around the edges, 3 to 6 minutes, shaking the bowl to redistribute the potatoes halfway through cooking.
- Combine the cornstarch, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the hot potatoes and toss well to coat. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake, turning once, until deep golden brown and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes (I flip them after 15 minutes). Drain briefly on brown paper bags, then serve hot.
*Ingredient Tips
We eat these with a lily-gilding Chipotle Mayonnaise: a third of a cup of Hellman's (or Best Foods) full-fat mayonnaise, whisked up with a scant spoonful of chipotle puree, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a bit of salt. Heaven.
If you didn't microwave them, I imagine that the potatoes would still cook through, but they'd be less fluffy inside, and if you try it, please let me know. Likewise, please let me know if you make these with sweet potatoes. Sweet potato fries is another favorite around here.

Against 7gb Skydrive by Microsoft
I started this petition because I feel that someone has to take the initiative to gather complaints around the world ask Microsoft to revert our 25gb storage and if Microsoft still didn't take any action, reverting our 25gb skydrive back, then a Class Action is deem to be appropriate.
To those who are unknown to the cause: Skydrive is an online storage by microsoft since 2007. It initially offers 25gb free online storage. However, since the rise of online storage in recent years, with dropbox, box.net, icloud by apple, microsoft recently WITHOUT ANY WARNING/ANNOUNCEMENT, REDUCED 25GB FREE ONLINE STORAGE TO 7GB. Microsoft didn't even bother to send an e-mail, announcing to the each users regarding this matter.
Please show your support by signing this petition. Thank you very much.

Florida Caverns State Park
The only tour cave in Florida,
Marianna's caverns welcome
hundreds of thousands of
visitors each year.
Ely-Criglar House
Built in 1840, this beautiful old
home is one of many historic
antebellum and Victorian
structures in Marianna.
ExploreSouthernHistory.com - Historic Sites of Marianna, Florida

Marianna, Florida - Historic Sites & Points of Interest
The Battle of Marianna
St. Luke's Episcopal Church was the scene of heavy
fighting during the Battle of Marianna.
Historic Sites and Scenic Beauty
Founded in 1827, the Northwest Florida city
of Marianna is one of the most charming
communities in the state. With its historic
structures, magnificent caverns, pristine river
and downtown Civil War battlefield, Marianna
offers a setting unlike any other in Florida.
Although the modern city dates from the early
19th century, Marianna's recorded history
actually dates back to the Spanish mission of
San Nicolas de Tolentino, established in
1674 at the mouth of a large cave.
The mission lasted only one year before it
was destroyed in an uprising of the Chacato
(also called Chatot) Indians who lived there.
The Spanish retaliated by burning Chacato
fields and homes.
As the Chacato vanished from the area, they
were replaced by Creeks and Seminoles. It
is believed that Native American warriors hid
in the caves of today's
Florida Caverns State
when Andrew Jackson marched an
army through during the First Seminole War.
It was Jackson's 1818 campaign that gave
many Southern frontiersmen their first look at
the rich and beautiful lands along the
Chipola River. As soon as the war ended,
many came back to begin clearing fields and
building cabins.
Florida was still a Spanish territory then, but
the United States gained possession of the
region in 1821 and more settlers flooded to
the area.
Among them was a Scottish land speculator
and merchant named Robert Beveridge. He
and his wife, Anna Maria, arrived from
Baltimore in 1827 and laid out the modern
city of Marianna on a beautiful hilltop
overlooking the Chipola River.
Beveridge came up with the city's unique
name by combining his wife's middle name,
Maria, with the first name of the wife of his
business partner, Anna.
The little village prospered and won a bitter
political fight with the nearby town of
Webbville (now a ghost town) to become the
county seat of Jackson County. By the time of
the Civil War, Marianna was a small but
politically powerful city. The home of Florida's
Confederate Governor John Milton, the city
became a military headquarters for Southern
troops assigned to defend Northwest Florida.
The city was attacked by Union forces on
September 27, 1863, in what became known
as the
Battle of Marianna
. Fighting raged
throughout the downtown area and a number
of Confederate troops were killed when St.
Luke's Episcopal Church and two nearby
homes were burned over their heads. The
fight has been called "Florida's Alamo."
The battle is memorialized today on the
grounds of the historic church, with markers
and monuments downtown and at the city's
historic Riverside Cemetery.
The Reconstruction era was especially bitter
in Marianna. Armed gangs roamed the area
and some have estimated that as many as
168 people were killed between 1868 and
1874. The real number was much lower.
Marianna was also the site of the 1934
lynching of Claude Neal
, an African American
man accused of rape and murder. The
national publicity generated by the lynching
and resulting riot played a significant role in
American history by helping to end lynchings
in the United States.
Such events seem far removed from the
modern city, which is both progressive and
diverse. Marianna today is a growing center
for ecotourism and heritage tourism.
Florida Caverns State Park
features the
state's only tour cave and draws hundreds of
thousands of visitors. The park also features
swimming at beautiful Blue Hole Spring,
hiking, camping, picnicking and more. The
Chipola River, which flows along the eastern
side of Marianna, is popular for canoing.
Joseph Russ House
Now home to the Chamber of
Commerce, this historic Russ
House overlooks Marianna's
main street.
Chipola River
Marianna borders Florida's
beautiful spring-fed Chipola
River, a noted canoe stream
and eco-tourism destination.

Back from Michigan!
I had really planned on blogging sooner, but you get what you get and you'll like it!
Nathan's meet and greet went awesome. Jenni Pell came and held Nathan for a bit, but he was having none of it! Eventually many many more people came! Nathan got to meet my friends Pat, Donovan, CJ, Donovan and CJ's daughter Charlotte (so cute!), David, Travis, Denise, Josh, Lindsey (that's probably spelled wrong, sorry!), Josh and Lindsey's kiddo Logan (he has the hair of an angel! So curly! So awesome!). He also got to meet my parents friends Ann and Dean although they are really my friends too! On the relative side, he met Sam, Henna, Ghaz and FINALLY MET GRANDPA GEOFF! That's right, he hadn't actually seen my dad yet. He also got to see Sara and Erika again and my mom FINALLY got to hold him for the first time. It was so good to be able to finally make all of that happen. There was a funny moment when I asked Nathan if he wanted Pat to hold him, and then immediately shoved Nathan into Pat's arms. Pat isn't immediately comfortable with small kids, but you can tell he'll be a great dad some day.
A few days later, Nathan also met my dad's mother, so we're talking GENERATIONS here people.
Also big thanks to Sam and my Aunt Kim for babysitting Nathan so that Nikki and I could go out to dinner with my parents and Sara and Erika! That meant the world to me, you don't get a whole lot of chances like that, so thank you!
For a 4 month old, Nathan did REALLY well on our super long car trip. For a trip that normally takes between 18 and 20 hours, it wound up taking about 25 total. Having a kid who needs to stop every 2 hours to be changed and fed makes things take a BIT longer, but if he wasn't hungry he hardly screamed or squirmed at all. I am so so blessed to have such a good kiddo. Big ups to Nikki for mostly staying back there with him and keeping him company. I know that helped him quite a lot!
As for the other reason for the trip, it was the annual cottage trip. This was the year the families were there so it was WAY different for a while. Instead of it being Donovan, Pat and I up at Pat's cottage it was Nikki, me, Donovan, CJ, Charlotte, David, Pat and Nicole. We left Nathan at my parents to get a little break. What can I say, dude is needy and sometimes you gotta take a step back. After a few days, the womenfolk (and David) left and it was back to normal cottage times with Donovan, Pat and me. We went kayaking which was fun, I'll throw some pictures up in the photo album later. After a few days, eventually Nikki and Nathan joined us at the cottage so Nathan could get a little lake breeze. Sadly, a MASSIVE HEAT WAVE was coming through so we wound up getting a hotel room for Nikki and Nathan to stay in since there was no AC and we didn't want Nathan to have to deal with the 108 degree heat.
We left the cottage on Friday so we could drive back over 3 days which wound up being SO much better. We drove from Oscoda, MI to Swartz Creek, MI. Then from Swartz Creek we drove to Michigan City, IN where we stopped for the night. We stayed at a hotel that wasn't really anything special, it got the job done. The next morning we left Michigan City and drove all the way to Springfield, MO. We stayed the night at a Days Inn there that was just phenomenal. Nick at the front desk was one of the friendliest people I've ever met and the room was SUPER cheap and SUPER spacious compared to where we were the night before. Then, on Sunday we got HOME! It was weird being home after 2 weeks being gone, but comfy too.
My parents said they are going to try to come down in October or so, so that will be nice. It's hard to travel with a little one, but this time next year he'll be bigger so we'll have all new problems and challenges. I can't WAIT!

Tianlang Guan finished his week as the youngest golfer ever to start and make the cut at a Masters four shots clear of the cellar after posting a closing-round 5-over 75 at Augusta.
The 14-year-old eighth-grader from China overcame a controversial slow-play penalty in Thursday's first round to complete his historic stint at 12-over and walk away with a sense of what he needed to work on to advance his game.
"It's such a great week for me and I enjoy it so far and learned a lot," Guan told reporters after finishing up four rounds without a single-hole score higher than bogey. That's certainly more than you can say for Kevin Na, who carded a 10 on the par-3 12th on Sunday and was one of three veteran PGA Tour players to finish lower than Guan.
Guan, who qualified for the Masters with a win at last year's Asia-Pacific Amateur and said he did "a pretty good job this week," might try to play his way into the U.S. Open. But he has no intention of turning professional in the near future.
"I've not decided yet, but it won't be too early because there's still a lot of things to learn to improve," Guan said. "So nothing to rush."
Guan, by the way, closed just three shots north of three-time Masters winner Phil Mickelson and 2011 PGA champ Keegan Bradley. For Lefty, his 9-over 297 was the second-worst score in 20 times he has made the cut at the Masters, according to the Associated Press.
Mickelson ended a miserable week with a final-round 73, while Bradley rebounded from Saturday's 10-over 82 with a 69 in Sunday's finale.

The Register-News
---- — DEAR ABBY: I travel a lot in my work with animal protection. Often I'll encounter dogs and cats in distress as soon as I reach the airport. So please, everyone — if you fly with an animal companion, keep it foremost in your thoughts. Use a sturdy, well-ventilated carrier, preferably one with wheels, that's designed for animals and to fit under your seat. And please, keep the carrier upright and steady. — ANIMAL LOVER
DEAR ANIMAL LOVER: Thank you for the heads up. In case someone's pet might have other issues while traveling, it's always a good idea to talk about it with a veterinarian before embarking.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: I'm a 19-year-old guy and for as long as I can remember my parents have yelled at me. It lasts for hours at a time at night after they come home from work almost every day. It's never about me doing something bad, but how I never do anything up to their expectations.
I don't know if they're right or wrong, but it makes me depressed and I have been thinking about suicide. I have never been able to have an opinion of my own because as soon as I had one my parents would yell at me all over again and call me "stupid and retarded."
I cry myself to sleep at night hoping God will put me to sleep forever. Please tell me what to do. -- JUSTIN IN SAN FRANCISCO
DEAR JUSTIN: Verbal abuse -- which is what you are describing -- can be every bit as destructive as physical abuse. Perhaps it's time to consider moving out. With the constant verbal battering you're receiving, it's no wonder you're depressed.
Harming yourself is not the answer to your problem. Because you have reached the point of wanting to hurt yourself, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The number is 800-784-2433. A counselor there can direct you to the help you need. You may have to build your self-esteem from the ground up, but the effort will be well worth it. My thoughts are with you.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: A few months ago my mother joined Facebook and I readily accepted her friend request. I'm a 30-something IT specialist, but Mom is new to the Internet.
There are times I have gone online and seen posts in which my mother is arguing with my friends about their lifestyles. I have friends and business contacts from all over the world, and their backgrounds are highly varied as are their belief and value systems.
I have told Mom in private and public discussions that she owes someone an apology, but she shrugs it off.
Am I wrong for asking her to respect my friends, and would you suggest I "unfriend" my mother until she learns proper Internet etiquette? -- DIGITAL FAMILY MAN
DEAR FAMILY MAN: Because what your mother is doing could negatively affect your business, you should do EXACTLY that. And quickly!

China Mobile promotes this feature as one of the main things that will make its network better. The carrier could divide its spectrum differently in various areas depending on how the network might be used there, said Lei Cao, a China Mobile representative in the company's MWC booth.
Some said TD-LTE saves carriers money and is just a better way to use spectrum.
"This is hotly debated, but the TD-LTE advocates will tell you that it can be deployed in cheaper unpaired spectrum and is more efficient when the downlink/uplink is asymmetric," Tolaga Research analyst Phil Marshall said in an email interview. Dedicating the same amount of spectrum to uplinks as to downlinks leaves a lot of uplink spectrum unused, he said.
The biggest reason FDD is still used is tradition, according to Marshall. When cell phones were used mostly for voice, upstream and downstream traffic was equal.
"Most of the cellular spectrum is allocated in FDD and systems are deployed this way," Marshall said. "The advocates of FDD will tell you that you get better performance consistency with FDD and it is easier to implement -- particularly when coordinated with other FDD systems."
Without the need for pairing, it's also easier to cobble together various frequencies. In January, China Mobile and ZTE said they had demonstrated combining two separate TD-LTE spectrum blocks into one virtual block and assigned 75 percent of the whole to downstream traffic.
It's not especially challenging to implement TD-LTE, Schoolar said. Nor is it hard to hand off subscribers from those networks to LTE FDD systems, according to China Mobile and others. Despite the dominance of FDD, most existing LTE base stations can be set up for TD use with a software upgrade or a new line card, Schoolar said. Sprint plans to mix FDD and TD networks by using the Clearwire TD-LTE network for extra capacity in busy areas, shifting users from one to the other as needed.
China Mobile Hong Kong has already launched a combined TD and FDD network. It puts subscribers on TD-LTE where it's available, then shifts them onto FDD where possible, and puts them onto GSM when necessary. All these transitions are transparent to users, Lei said.
The pre-commercial network in mainland China is growing rapidly despite the fact that China Mobile can't offer commercial service yet. There are about 20,000 base stations there today and will be 200,000 in 100 cities by the end of this year, Lei said. And China Mobile is not expected to be the only Chinese carrier to deploy TD-LTE.
That bodes well for a high-volume market that should make TD-LTE devices cheap and plentiful in other parts of the world, with the help of big silicon vendors, analysts said. "It really depends on guys like Qualcomm to make it happen," Marshall said.

@FGCU_WBB Ranked No. 10 in CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Florida Gulf Coast women's basketball team dropped one spot the No. 10 position in the 15th edition of the 2012-13 CollegeInsider.com Women's Basketball Mid-Major Top 25 poll, announced on Tuesday afternoon. The Eagles were ranked No. 9 in last week's poll.
Delaware (20-3), ranked No. 20 in the AP Top 25 and No. 22 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, along with Green Bay (19-2), Gonzaga (20-5), Chattanooga (21-3) and Toledo (21-2) hold the top five spots in the poll.
The Mid-Major Poll is made up of teams from the following conferences: America East, Atlantic Sun, Big Sky, Big South, Big West, Colonial, Great West, Horizon, Independents, Ivy, Metro Atlantic, Mid-American, Mid-Eastern, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern, Southland, Southwestern, Summit, Sun Belt and West Coast.
The Eagles (20-5, 13-0 A-Sun), winners of 31 consecutive Atlantic Sun Conference regular season games, are the lone Atlantic Sun Conference team represented in the poll.
In the FGCU's last game (Feb. 11), redshirt junior Sarah Hansen (McKean, Pa./General McLane HS) scored a game-high 26 points as the Eagles forced their fourth straight opponent into 15+ turnovers and defeated ETSU, 70-48, to pick up their 14th consecutive win. The win, which gave the Green and Blue their 10th season with at least 20 victories, also improved their impressive record at Alico Arena to 161-11 all-time and 53-1 in conference matchups.

MADISON (AP) - Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says he expects a March vote on a bill to overhaul state mining regulations.
Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said Monday that he expects the bill to be introduced late next week with hearings to follow later in January. Vos would not say if those hearings will be in northern Wisconsin near Lake Superior where an iron ore mine is proposed.
Vos says he expects a vote on the bill in the spring.
Fitzgerald, a Juneau Republican, didn't offer any specifics about what would be in the bill. Both he and Vos spoke about it at separate news conferences.
Fitzgerald says it's going to be difficult to ever get northwestern Wisconsin's American Indian tribes on board and the bill will face inevitable court challenges.

Unique Summer Internships
The Sparer Fellowship Program is an outstanding opportunity for high-caliber, qualified students to engage in concentrated studies and unique internships. Fellows are placed at leading public interest organizations, in the U.S. and abroad, providing legal services to underrepresented constituencies. Members of the Sparer Faculty Committee and the Director of Public Service Programs assist fellows in finding a placement that matches their interests. They receive a stipend of $5,000 for their summer internship, and additional funds are available to offset travel expenses when a placement is located outside of New York.
The internships provide students with valuable experience in state and federal litigation, drafting legislation, commenting on proposed laws and regulations, organizing communities, counseling clients, and negotiating with adversaries and government agencies. Each fall, the fellows present compelling accounts of their internships to the Law School community that help educate their peers on public interest issues.
Fellows are mentored by members of the Sparer Fellowship Committee as well as alumni fellows, creating a close-knit community of like-minded individuals. They also attend the program's monthly luncheons on timely topics, and the annual Sparer forum or symposium on critical issues in public interest law.

Five sports, including the football program, have been implicated in players receiving nearly $5,000 in improper benefits, including housing and food. Most of the violations seem minor in scope, but a women's tennis player also received thousands of dollars from coaches and was also allowed to compete for BSU without being enrolled, which is a HUGE no-no. The big violation goes directly against the NCAA's core principle of the "student-athlete", and it holds this principle as absolutely sacred. Violating that principle, plus the collective mass of other violations accumulated by BSU athletics programs over the last couple of years, is apparently what led the NCAA to level the notoriously severe charge. SBNation's Boise State site, One Bronco Nation Under God, has a very good rundown of the major stories surrounding the violations, along with many responses that recent Florida State fans might find quite familiar. Highlights: The Charges The football team self-reported violations of housing rules that happened from 2004-08. Coach Petersen's 2009 solution-coaches arranging summer housing for incoming freshmen-was itself a violation of NCAA housing rules. The big one: The timeline of the Women's Tennis eligibility incident. The scope of the wrongdoing is breathtaking.

QuoteI'm not rubbishing the picture - it is an astonishing shot that conveys so much about New York after being hit by 'Sandy'. It is an indication of a photographer who knows the capabilities of his kit and was able to get and take the opportunity to prove it.
I know that many will argue that this image isn't anything great, that they themselves could have easily taken the shot given the same chance with the same equipment. It is the same argument that I have seen many others have made about the work of Peter Lik, Art Wolfe, Gregory Crewdson, Richard Avedon, Albert Watson, Sheila Metzner, and many others, that their work is subpar, mediocre. This same argument extends further to other creative areas such as painting, sculpture, etc. Comments/reactions to a work done by Jackson Pollack for example – "My four-year old kid could have done that" or "I could have easily done that" are often heard. Fact of the matter is that they did it, and not us. The fact that Iwan Baan, took advantage of the opportunity as well as the risks, to take the image is what mattered. Many people forget that more often than not, it's not about the final image but rather the story and/or process that was involved in taking the shot. They're often caught up in the technicality of the art and thus have forgotten that true photography is never about the final result but the events leading up to it. If this wan't the case, then no one would bother to consider the work of past photographers with subpar cameras yielding grainy, blurry images (Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassai comes to mind) as who they really are...masters.

Yummy! My husband considers ice cream its own food group so he would definitely approve. I think if I made it I would incorporate peanut butter and bananas since those are his favorites. Thanks for the inspiration!

mysterious gastrointestinal virus at a Dix Hills assisted living
facility has sent at least four residents to the hospital, canceled all
activities and forced residents to stay in their rooms, Suffolk
authorities and facility officials said Sunday.
Residents of Sunrise Assisted Living Incorporated" id="ORCRP014679">Sunrise Assisted Living on Deer Park Avenue began experiencing symptoms of extreme nausea and diarrhea sometime last week, resulting in four hospitalizations this weekend, officials said.
Two residents are at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip" id="PLGEO0000764NY">West Islip and two are at Huntington Hospital, said Grace Kelly" id="PECLB002738">Grace Kelly-McGovern, a spokeswoman for the Suffolk Department of Health Services.
The patients were not identified but were reported to be in stable condition.
"The patients are doing fine," Kelly-McGovern said. "We're monitoring
the situation and we're in touch with both the hospital and Sunrise."
The nature of the virus was unknown, officials said. Sara Krueger, a
spokeswoman for Sunrise, said: "We have no confirmed diagnosis of
Norwalk virus," a common disease in health care facilities spread
through food and human contact.
To stop the virus, Krueger said Sunrise staff cleaned the facility with disinfectant, canceled all group activities such as nightly movies, asked residents to stay in their apartments and served meals in their rooms on paper plates with plastic utensils.
Krueger said the safety measures will remain until it is determined the virus is no longer active.
Sunrise employees wore surgical masks Sunday, which residents and visiting family members said was unusual. Krueger said the masks were not related to the virus, but would not comment on whether it was a common practice for staff to wear them.
Relatives of residents said facility staff told them as many as 20 residents in the 80-resident facility had become sick in the last week. Krueger would not say how many were ill but said "20 sounds high to me."
Inside the facility, the common areas were empty and silent, except for staff. They appeared to keep their masks on in the facility, taking them off during breaks outside.
Johanna Schwartz, of East Northport, said she was concerned about the health of her mother, Celia Bisom-Israel, 96. "It's really eerie in there," Schwartz said, adding that employees told her that the illnesses started Tuesday. "Residents have been throwing up and going to the hospital. It's very strange."
Krueger said the facility contacted Suffolk Health Services about the outbreak yesterday. Kelly-McGovern said the law is unclear about how soon assisted living facilities must report viral outbreaks.
Krueger said other nursing homes and assisted living facilities were facing similar issues, though she declined to name them. "At this time of the year this is not an unusual occurrence for any environment like this," Krueger said. "We feel like we're taking every precaution."

Garuva's rainforested foyer leads to tables with cushioned seating concealed by silk curtains. There's a rather 'Arabian Nights' feel to the place, with dim lighting, loungey beats and subdued banter (more raucous on weekends).
Garuva's rainforested foyer leads to tables with cushioned seating concealed by silk curtains. There's a rather 'Arabian Nights' feel to the place, with dim lighting, loungey beats and subdued banter (more raucous on weekends).
Simple decor and dramatic lighting set the scene for food which is certainly dramatic but anything but simple. Celebrity chef Christine Manfield's latest venture tours the cuisines of the known universe and creates something out of this world. Dishes are designed to be shared; three per head is recommended but we found two plus dessert ample.
This central restaurant and lounge bar is a cool place to indulge in a long lunch. Tables and chairs spill into the centre of the mall so passers-by can watch you having a good time. Salads, steaks and beer-battered fish and chips are on offer. The resident DJ creates a fusion of cool tunes to smooth you into the weekend club scene.
This chic little red-and-black dining room is paired nicely with a contemporary Asian menu served tapas-style, although larger mains are available. There's a rear courtyard and kitchen garden where herbs are plucked direct to the plate. Fresh fish and meat are sourced locally and the eggs are from the chef's own chooks.
There's nothing washed out or brown-tinged about Sepia's food: Martin Benn's picture-perfect creations are presented in glorious technicolour, with each taste worth a thousand words. A Japanese sensibility permeates the boundary-pushing menu, earning this relative newcomer the city's top dining gong in 2012.
Few restaurants in Brisbane have open-air settings quite like the majestic Customs House, overlooking the Brisbane River and Story Bridge. The Queensland prawn and crab tian with roasted tomato and avocado, and the seared scallops are divine options. Go on, splash out.
If you don't mind eating animals that are on Australia's coat of arms, this upmarket restaurant serves them up with flair. Emu and kangaroo fillet are mains, or for something lighter, chow down on the Tasmanian possum entrée. Tried crocodile? Here's your chance.
Hip hangout overlooking the water with all manner of munchies on the menu, from the addictive popcorn chicken share-plate, to the hands-off-it's-mine prawn-and-crab linguini. They're also renowned for their espresso; be ready to wait a while for your fix.
Rated as one of Airlie's best, this Polynesian-themed restaurant concocts dishes with all kinds of international influences. Aim to be in town for weekly gastro-event The Long Sunday Lunch (eight courses per person costs $44.50). Bookings are required here.
Flanked by the Harbour Bridge, the choppy harbour and Luna Park's insane grin, Ripples does well to compete with the view and come out on top. Expect lots of seafood with subtle Asian and European flavours, along with fish and chips cooked to crispy perfection.
With a lovely shaded front courtyard this industrious and popular noodle bar is the New Farm spot for some fast noodles. Choose your noodle, your cooking style (including Mongolian) and your meat/veg combo. There's also a regular $7.50 lunch special.
Chef-owner Lindsey Schwab worked in London with the father of fusion cuisine, Peter Gordon, but returned to Port to be closer to his family. Local produce features prominently and desserts are particularly delicious.
