Women's hoops host South Carolina State Thursday
Related Links
The JU women's basketball team returns from the holiday break to play South Carolina State in the final non-conference game of the season on Thursday in Swisher Gymnasium at 7 p.m.
Following the contest, the Dolphins (1-10) will get rude welcome back into the A-Sun schedule, playing six games in 13 days to start the New Year.
"Everybody had a great Christmas break and now we are excited to get back on the court," JU head coach Jill Dunn said. "We are expecting to turn on season around and it begins with this game."
Last time out, Georgia Southern used a 13-2 run to start the second half and fought off a late JU rally to defeat the Dolphins, 52-46, at Hanner Fieldhouse on Dec. 21.
The Dolphins won the rebounding battle, 41-38, and shot 34.5 percent from the floor (19-55). Senior Crystal Bell and sophomore Abril Peeples each paced the Dolphins with 14 points. Sophomore Tracie Sneed had 12 points and eight rebounds in the loss.
Bell has been hot as of late by leading the Dolphins in scoring in four of the last six games with double-digits in each contest.
The Lady Bulldogs (5-6) have won their last two games entering into Thursday's contest. They beat Coastal Carolina, 61-59, at the Carolina's Challenge on Dec. 18 before knocking off UNC-Asheville, 92-82, at home. Lauren Johnson, Tiana Hemphill and Trinese Fox each had 13 points in the latest win.
South Carolina State is led by Tiara Knotts, who is first in scoring (12.5) and steals (21).
The Dolphins have won both matchups in the all-time series. JU won a 61-58 decision in the last contest at South Carolina State on Dec. 29, 2007. They earned a 66-56 win at home on Nov. 17, 2006.
JU will begin the New Year at home against Lipscomb (Jan. 2) and Belmont (Jan. 4). The contest against the Lady Bisons was moved back to Swisher Gymnasium due to the traffic of the Taxslayers.com Gator Bowl contest.
Fans can follow all of the action through the live links on JUDolphins.com.

Word is that he will not be and due to the nature of his profession unlikely to be at many in the future either - positive choice for Ledbury or self indulgent wannabe with only the interests of a vested few at heart?
I guess the non attendance record will explain much - dreadful appointment and one that this town will rue!

While the New England Patriots have some high profile free agents like wide receiver Wes Welker, the real area that could take a hit in free agency is along the Patriots offensive line. The Patriots could be moving on from two of their longtime starting offensive lineman heading into the 2012 season according to a report in the Boston Globe.
According to multiple NFL sources, the Patriots are prepared to move on without left tackle Matt Light and center Dan Koppen. The hope is to get Dan Connolly, who is an unrestricted free agent, under contract before free agency.
The Patriots think they have guys who can step in and take over roles, like Marcus Cannon, who has the ability to play in the interior of the line and potentially as an offensive tackle. Young tackles Sebastian Vollmer and Nate Solder should move back into the starting line up and make the transition from guys like Matt Light. Vollmer has been a good starter before at right tackle, but has battled back injuries as of late. It's possible, though, that the Patriots could see at least three new starters on their offensive line.

New TV station announced for Oxfordshire (From The Oxford Times)
When It Happens Panel Get involved: send your photos, videos, news & views by texting 'OXFORD NEWS' to 80360 or email
New TV station announced for Oxfordshire
12:03pm Wednesday 7th November 2012 in News
A NEW TV station for Oxfordshire has been announced this morning.
Broadcasting regulator Ofcom has revealed it is to give a licence to Abingdon-based That's Oxford.
The newsdriven channel will be based at Oxford Brookes University and is the brainchild of Daniel Cass, 37, who ran SIX TV until it went off air in 2009 after 10 years.
The station could use media department students to run the schedule, and is expected to show a mix of politics, entertainment and kids' shows with a local twist.
Oxfordshire was selected by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in December as one of the 21 pilot areas where local TV would arrive first.
The station would be broadcast from the Beckley transmitter, so it would be picked up in Didcot, Witney, Wantage, Faringdon and Oxford on channel eight.

What's wrong with having a properly funded digital TV channel dedicated to the area and its interests, cultural, political, news, sporting etc mixed with some general entertainment? Useful platform for many different types I would have thought. The simple answer to the predictably sneering remarks on this page is don't watch it if you don't like it.
I would say it is in part about viewer expectations. These stations aren't setting themselves up as a new E4, Sky1 or Dave, let alone BBC1 or ITV1, if that's what people are expecting, I'd say they'll be disappointed. However, if the understanding is there about what these channels are about and what people can expect from them then there's every chance they can work.
And obviously if it isn't any good then it will shut down and you'll all be really pleased that someone with the guts and energy to launch a business venture has had to close.

Even at low power, surely there must be the opportunity for another 3 or so channels? On a proper "multiplex" there is space for up to 11 channels.

Who knows, maybe one or two decent channels that aren't currently on Freeview but are on Sky or Virgin may buy up the extra channel space so they can pick up the extra viewers and presumably therefore advertising revenue that comes with the bigger audience that Freeview will bring them.
Think all those homes out there that don't have either Sky or Virgin, thats about 40% of homes from what I can make out, stand to benefit from this whole Local TV malarkey. All seems like a pretty positive initiative.

The Salem News
---- — To the editor:
Tuesday, I plan to vote "yes" for the Community Preservation Act (CPA) in Salem. My reasons are simple. Every time that I take an early morning walk to the Salem Common, I am distressed to see the poor condition of the Common fence. If we had the CPA, the fence could be fixed. When I look out my office window and see the scaffolding surrounding City Hall, I'm reminded that if we had a CPA, the city of Salem would not have to bear the full $2 million cost of this renovation because we could have some state matching funds. And when I go to the city of Peabody, I see the benefits that adopting the CPA in 2001 have brought to this neighboring community — the historic renovation of the George Peabody Library, the development of the Leather Museum and the acres of new open space that the city has purchased and improved — Tilley's Farm, Sidney's Pond and the Zielski property, to name a few.
Any tax — even if it is only $30 (or in my case it will probably be twice this) — is difficult to vote for, but I believe that the benefits from the CPA are worth it. If we adopt it, we will get back more than we give. We will get state matching funds and probably more commercial real estate taxes because the city will be an even more desirable place for businesses. Even more important, we will see improvements in our community and in our quality of life — from bike trail development to historic preservation — a lot more is possible if we adopt the CPA. I'm going to vote "yes" and I hope that you will too.

Reince Priebus Wishes Everyone A Happy Stimulus Day
I bet you forgot, as I did, that February 16th was Stimulus Day. Reince Priebus did not, and offers up this op-ed in The Washington Times
Two years ago today, President Obama signed into law a "stimulus package" that his administration promised would keep unemployment under 8 percent. What has been the result of nearly $1 trillion spent on the so-called "stimulus?" Twenty-one months of unemployment at or above 9 percent, 2.6 million jobs lost, unsustainable budget deficits and an ever-growing national debt.
Americans rejected the Democrats' reckless tax and spend policies last November. Despite this "shellacking," Mr. Obama's proposed budget ignores the will of the American people and reflects a complete lack of seriousness for our fiscal crisis.
In my capacity as the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, it is my job to help hold President Obama accountable for his lack of leadership.
No offense, Reince, but your primary job is to raise money for the GOP and get Republicans elected. If you smack Obama around while doing that, fantastic. But, the rest of what you wrote is spot on.
Looking at the president's fiscal 2012 budget, my job may have just gotten a little easier. As the reviews come in, it's clear the president didn't live up to his own standards.
Under the president's spending plan, 2012 will be the fourth consecutive year of running deficits in excess of $1 trillion. As a result of Mr. Obama's spending spree, the federal debt will soon be equal to the entire U.S. economy.
Instead of showing the leadership this country wants and deserves, the president continues to punt on real fiscal responsibility, making none of the tough decisions to cut spending – at no point in his budget would we spend less than we are taking in, raising taxes by $1.6 trillion and adding $13 trillion in new debt.
And what's the unhinged leftist (and wishy washy Republican) answer to all this debt? Why, to raise taxes! Witness John Cole
I've said this before, and I will say it again. Unless your proposal includes a substantial increase in taxes and a substantial amount of cuts to the military budget as well as ending the farm subsidies and giveaways to big oil and big energy and big business, you can kindly just shut up about the deficit and the debt. Additionally, any cuts to entitlements need to include cuts to the CURRENT recipients, not grandfathering the boomers and then wondering why the cuts never materialize in the future.
If you aren't going to do those things, just shut up. You aren't serious.
This is the point where I ask John and anyone else who supports what John is saying "since you hate the "Bush tax cuts" so much, and think we need higher tax rates, have you been sending extra money to the IRS at the pre-2001/2003 rates, and will you do so this year?" This usually ends with a massive, monstrous, incredible deflection from those I ask the question to, things like "It's not about me, it's about all of us" and "If Bush hadn't gotten us involved with two illegal wars…." To which I respond "so, the answer is no?"

10th Mtn Division comes home, leaving brothers behind
Oct 17, 2007 — Over the next several weeks, several thousand soldiers with the 10th Mt. Division will be returning home to Watertown. The members of the Second Brigade Combat Team have been in Iraq for 15 months. The hardest part of this tour was the abduction in May of two soldiers, specialists Byron Fouty and Alex Jimenez.

Memories: Adirondack mountaineer fights with 10th Mtn. in Italy
Sep 27, 2007 — The 10th Mountain Division stationed at Fort Drum has one of the most storied histories of any unit in the U.S. Army. During the Italian campaign of World War II, the 10th's soldiers were famous for scaling cliffs to attack German positions that had been viewed as impregnable. Jim Goodwin, from Keene Valley, grew up climbing and skiing in the Adirondacks and in the 1940s he was one of the pioneers of American mountaineering. When the 10th Mountain Division was being formed, Goodwin was recruited to help train the soldiers. He later served with the unit as a medic during the fighting in northern Italy. Goodwin is ninety-seven years old now, a retired schoolteacher. He sat down with Brian Mann to talk about his experience at war. Go to full article
Facing more funerals, Fort Drum will change soldier memorial policy
Jun 01, 2007 — Soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division who die in Iraq and Afghanistan will no longer receive individual memorials at Fort Drum. Army officials announced this week that the base will hold monthly memorial services to honor the sacrifice of service-men and service-women. Brian Mann spoke with Lt. Colonel Paul Fitzpatrick, who says the shift isn't tied to rising casualty rates. Go to full article
Closing the housing gap around Fort Drum
Jun 01, 2007 — In mid-June, Senator Hillary Clinton touted a vote in the Armed Services Committee that would funnel almost $350 million to the base. A week before that, Fort Drum got $357 million for construction projects. Administrators say $1.2 billion flowed through the base last year. The money is following the troops, according to Carl McLaughlin, Executive Director of the Fort Drum Regional Liaison Organization. A whole new brigade--6,500 soldiers--was reassigned to the base in 2004, triggering new offices and training sites, as well as services and housing for soldiers and families. In January 2005, a housing forum estimated the community needed over 2,000 more homes for soldiers and families. McLaughlin told Jonathan Brown between on and off-base construction, that gap is being closed. Go to full article
The uphill battle of the 10th Mountain
May 25, 2007 — A new documentary about Fort Drum's 10th Mountain Division debuts Sunday at 7pm on WPBS in Watertown. The Last Ridge: the Uphill Battles of the 10th Mountain Division uses vintage film footage, first-person accounts, and on-location reenactments to bring to life the 10th Mountain's role in World War 2. NPR's Scott Simon is the narrator. Abbie Kealy directed, wrote, and produced The Last Ridge. She told David Sommerstein it's the story of the division's daring assault on the German front in the mountains of northern Italy in 1945. Go to full article
McHugh supports "surge" but says Iraq War may be unwinnable
May 16, 2007 — As families at Fort Drum wait anxiously for news of the missing soldiers, North Country Congressman John McHugh says he still supports the military build-up in Iraq being led by U.S. General David Petraeus. But in an exclusive interview with North Country Public Radio, the Republican suggested for the first time that the moment for victory in that country may have passed. We'll air our in-depth conversation with the congressman at 8:35. As Brian Mann reports, McHugh is talking for the first time about breaking with the Republican leadership on major policy decisions about the war. Go to full article
In Depth: Rep. McHugh expresses new doubts, regrets on Iraq War
May 16, 2007 — Since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, North Country Congressman John McHugh has walked a cautious line. The Republican has supported President Bush and the GOP leadership, while also publicly chiding the Defense Department's civilian leadership. McHugh represents Fort Drum, home to the 10th Mountain Division and is a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee. The Congressman now says the "surge" strategy in Iraq should continue through the summer, but says the strategy should face close scrutiny by Congress in September. As the death toll rises and public support for the war erodes, this middle ground position may become more and more difficult to sustain. On Tuesday, Congressman McHugh spoke at length about the war with Brian Mann. The interview began just as officials at Fort Drum were confirming that three soldiers from Watertown had been captured by an Al Quaeda splinter group in Iraq. Go to full article
Clinton, McHugh blast Bush war plan
Jan 18, 2007 — New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton says she'll introduce legislation that would cap the number of U.S. soldiers in Iraq. She and North Country congressman John McHugh held a joint press conference in Washington yesterday. Both were intensely critical of President Bush's plan to expand the number of U.S. troops in Iraq. They also called on the White House to commit more resources to Afghanistan, where soldiers and civilian aid workers face growing attacks from Taliban and Al Quaeda. Brian Mann reports.

10th Mountain in Kosovo: Making Peace Last
Mar 28, 2002 — More than 3000 soldiers from Fort Drum are in the last two months of their deployment in Kosovo. Their main mission is to enforce a safe and secure environment in the war-torn region.
But the soldiers are using more than weapons to keep the peace. They're providing humantarian assistance to help rebuild a damaged land from the ground up.

Exclusive photos from Turkmenistan's 21st Independence Day
Media and Internet, Photoblog, Politics and Society, Turkmenistan3 Comments
Turkmenistan has celebrated its 21st Independence Day XXI in full martial pomp. Preparations had been underway for several months; I've managed to glean some screen captures from official state television for NewEurasia's readers to see.
There are obvious parallels between this parade and parades in other communist societies, past (the Soviets) or present (the North Koreans).
Naturally, these included the symbols of our nation's "progress", a patent Sovietism now adapted for nationalist purposes, in this case tradition (represented by the horsemen) and global commerce (represented by the model air planes):
The personality cult around our president, the "Arkadag" (protector), is front and center:
There is also the disturbing Hitler-like moment when Berdimuhamedov salutes the military parade. [Ed.: Correction: Berdimuhamedov actually appears to be pointing in the direction of something, not making a salute. NewEurasia apologizes to any offended readers.]
Considering that the population of our country is 5.5 million, the obviously impressive number of people participating and attending is suggestive of the level of coercion that goes on behind the scenes here:

NASHVILLE (BP) -- There are few vocations that can engender burnout like the pastorate. The demands on a pastors time, emotions and energy can be overwhelming. When I was a pastor, I often felt at least the symptoms of burnout.
I recently spoke with 17 pastors who had experienced burnout, or who felt they came precariously close to burnout. The good news about these pastors is that they moved out of burnout, and now they are re-engaging in exciting and visionary ministries.
So I asked them the obvious question: What did you do to reverse the dark spiral of burnout? The question was open-ended, so they could respond with as many answers as they desired. When it was all said and done, I tabulated 12 different responses from the 17 pastors. Obviously, many of them gave similar answers.
Here are the 12 responses ranked in order of frequency. Each answer has a representative quote from one of the pastors.
1. Spent more time in prayer and the Word. Slowly over time, I spent less and less time in the Bible and in prayer. I succumbed to the tyranny of the urgent. When I committed to reversing that pattern, my life and leadership began to renew.
2. Dreamed again. When I first arrived at this church, I had great visions and excitement. But I got caught up in negativity and trivial things, and I lost my vision. But recently I asked God to restore my dream and vision for my church, and Hes already answering that prayer.
3. Stopped comparing. One of the most freeing things of my ministry was to stop comparing myself to other pastors, and my church to other churches. I finally got it that God doesnt love pastors of larger churches more than He loves me.
4. Developed relationships with non-Christians. I got so busy doing church that I started neglecting engaging people in the world. Now I make certain that Im in some type of ongoing relationship with a non-Christian.
5. Moved my focus from the negative to the positive. I dont know why I let the critics dominate my time and thoughts. When I stopped letting them control me, and when I started spending more time with positive and great people in the church, my entire emotional state improved dramatically.
6. Learned to have fun. I realized that there is a difference between taking my ministry seriously and taking myself too seriously. I have learned to lighten up and laugh more. As a result, I find myself rejoicing in the Lord more.
7. Ended draining relationships. There was this church member that made an appointment with me almost every week. He was so negative and so draining of my emotional energy. I knew he had his own emotional problems, but I knew I wasnt equipped to deal with them. When I finally got the courage to end our counseling relationship and refer him to a professional, I felt like a weight had been lifted off me.
8. Expressed gratitude regularly. One of the ways I dealt with my impending burnout was to commit to handwrite five letters of gratitude a week. It was amazing to see how my vision began to restore when I took the focus off me and expressed gratitude to others.
9. Spent more time doing things that energized me. I tend to be a prideful person, so I dont like to admit that I am not very good at something. Well, Im a poor administrator, so administrative work drains me. When I finally got the courage to admit I wasnt very good at it, I had a lay volunteer step right in and take much of the work off me. He told me that everyone knew I was a lousy administrator, and that he was thankful I finally admitted it. I am now spending time doing those things that I enjoy and give me energy.
10. Got in better physical shape. In my busyness, I started eating more, exercising less, and sleeping fitfully. I stayed tired and depressed. But when I got into an exercise routine and ate better, my whole outlook changed.
11. Made a commitment to have a greater servant spirit. I had trouble admitting that I had an ego problem. I always wanted things my way. God got to me and showed me that my calling in life is to serve others. It is absolutely amazing to see my leadership passion restored as I put myself last to the needs of others.
12. Began to pray for my community. Burnout can be the result of looking inwardly too much. I asked God to give me a greater vision for our churchs community. Shortly after I prayed that prayer, I became burdened for the elementary school near our church. Now Im praying for specific direction to serve the school. I know God will answer that prayer as well.

A nice and local DeCiccos...finally! This latest installment of the DeCiccos world takeover was opened August in Cross River, NY; where Dagostino's used to be. Since they just recently opened, their typical monster selection isnt quite there yet. Granted they still have a better selection than most places...especially in upper westchester. I spoke with the guy to runs the beer dept and he said he was mostly responsible for bringing the big selection to the Ardsley and Pelham stores. So, hopefully he will use his great beer negotiating skills to bring the selection to us!
They have 8 rotating taps to fill growlers, ad well as a nice assortment of 6-packs and single bottles...its like an essential bare bones version of any other DeCiccos.
Good prices, and similar to the rest of the area...but its hard to compare because no one else sells the same beer.
As always, they have amazing food and very helpful and courteous staff. Its conveniently located...well its like the only shopping center for about 10 or 15 miles in any direction; so anything would be convenient.
While Ardsley, Pelham, and, Brewster still have a way better selection, this one is in a nice isolated part of westchester that still has an impressive selection. Make a trip here, I guarantee you will find a brew you havent had before.
*A little update* The growlers here are on average about $5-$8 more expensive than the same exact beer anywhere else. Only fill your growlers here in a pinch...id take the extra 20 min ride to fill it in Brewster, where at least you can have a oint as well while its filled, and where the selection is way better...

Another addition to the Decicco's empire of quality food markets that also have impressive beer selections.
Options continue to increase, 8 lines for growler fills, with a counter pressure system "on the way". Good guy/beer guy Rich continues to add more and more BA worthy beers to the shelves. (in the front right corner as you enter)
Expect to find a more then healthy supply of the good beers that you typically find in a NYC suburbs quality beer store ( + the growlers ) Then add a high quality grocery store (meat, cheeses, veggies, speciality Italian options and the like) and you have a quality beer destination , especially if you live in or near this up scale section of Northern Westchester county.

Parents simply don't want to believe that their children will become involved in the use of drugs, prescription or illegal, but the truth is more than 43 percent of high school seniors report having used drugs at least once in their lifetime.
Is My Child Using Drugs or Alcohol?Here at the About.com Alcoholism / Substance Abuse site, we have several online self-assessment quizzes for those who are dealing with alcoholism and addiction as well as friends and family members who are or have been affected by the substance abuse of someone else.
One of those quizzes, "Is My Child Using Drugs or Alcohol?," allows parents to determine if some of the tell-tell signs of substance abuse are showing up in their home and their child's behavior. Of all the quizzes on the site, that one is the least utilized. Many parents think it's just not possible that their child is using drugs.
It Can Happen to Your TeenIf you have a teenager, he or she is vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, even the highest achieving, most accomplished teens. You may think your children will always make sound decisions, but their brains are not yet fully developed, so their judgment and decision-making ability may not be what you think.
Even "good" teens who are from good homes and go to good schools can become involved in drug abuse, especially prescription drug abuse, according to the National Council on Patient Information and Education. Parents need to understand the reasons why teens decide to begin using drugs.
Why Teens Use DrugsAccording to the Council, understanding why teens turn to drugs can help parents - as well as teachers, coaches and others - ask the right questions and intervene early if their is a problem. Here are some of the reasons that teens decide to abuse drugs:
- To escape or self-medicate
- Lack of self-esteem
- Risk taking, thrill seeking
- Peer pressure
Why Prescription Drugs?In recent years, teen use of illegal drugs has leveled off or declined, but there has been an alarming increase in the use of prescription drugs. According to the Council's research, these are some of the reasons that teens have turned to prescription drugs:
- There is less of a stigma
- The myth that they are safe
- They are easy to obtain
- They are easier to hide
- Parents are less likely to get angry
Parents Can Make a DifferenceThe good news is parents can do something to prevent teen drug abuse. First, you can secure your medications in your home so that they cannot be easily obtained. Keep up with your pills and properly dispose of unused medications.
Secondly, talk to your children about the risks involved in abusing drugs. Research shows that teens who are educated at home about the risks of drug use are 50% less likely to use drugs than teens who are not taught about the dangers at home.

North Carolina and N.C. State share the dubious distinction of being the poorest-scoring schools in the ACC in mens basketball and football Academic Progress Rate, which the NCAA released Wednesday.
UNC has the worst four-year APR score in the ACC in mens basketball (938) and football (938), while N.C. State had the worst scores in both sports for the 2012-13 academic year the most recent one for which figures are available.
The NCAA created the APR as a way to measure a teams academic progress each semester. Athletes who receive an athletic scholarship receive points for staying in school and remaining academically eligible. A teams points are divided by the number of points possible and then multiplied by 1,000 to generate an APR score.
The relatively low basketball and football scores at UNC and N.C. State will not result in penalties, though they could if the scores remain poor. Penalties for low APR scores include reduced practice time, a reduction in games and coaching suspensions.
During the 2014-15 academic year, teams must also earn a four-year APR score of 930 or a two-year score of 940 to compete in NCAA championship events such as the NCAA basketball tournament. After next year, teams must have a four-year score of 930 to compete in the postseason.
UNC and N.C. State can blame, in part, relatively high levels of attrition for their low scores in basketball and football. N.C. States 2012-13 score of 868 in mens basketball, for instance, can be traced in part to the departures of Lorenzo Brown and C.J. Leslie, both of whom left school to enter the NBA draft. Richard Howell, a senior on that team, did not graduate, which also negatively affected N.C. States score.
UNCs multiyear basketball score has also been affected by early departures and transfers. The transfers after 2010 and 2011 of David and Travis Wear, and Larry Drew II, are still affecting UNCs score.
Certainly theres cause for concern, but I think that coach (Roy) Williams has continued to recruit good students, UNC athletics director Bubba Cunningham said during a telephone interview. And we do look at it. We look at it very closely, and we try to make sure were staying on track.
A basketball teams APR can be negatively affected when a player leaves school without fulfilling his academic obligations during the spring semester. A player who leaves school early to enter the draft might drop out of his classes to begin draft preparations, and in that scenario the teams APR would suffer.
Despite its score of 868 last season in mens basketball, N.C. States four-year score of 959 ranks ninth in the conference.
Duke was among the ACCs leaders in mens basketball APR. Its four-year average of 995 leads the conference along with Notre Dame and Pittsburgh, both of which also have a 995 for their four-year average.
Duke scored a perfect 1,000 in mens basketball for the 2012-13 academic year. Five other teams, including Wake Forest, also had a single-year APR of 1,000 in mens basketball.
Duke also led the league in four-year football APR, with a 992, followed by Georgia Tech and Clemson at 983. Though UNC ranked last in four-year APR in football, its single-season scores have improved in each of the past three years, going from 895 in 2010-11 to 971 in 2012-13.
For the third consecutive year, no ACC team in any sport is subject to APR penalties. All 59 of the conferences baseball, football and mens and womens basketball teams exceeded the required four-year APR score of 930 to remain eligible for the postseason.

Justices join assault on U.S. ConstitutionStory | Jul 3, 2012 | 6:00 AMWhen President Barack Obama at his inauguration swore upon his word to the "best of my ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States," he should have included, "except when I want to ignore it" ("Reform moves ahead," June 29). When our Constitution was ratified in 1789 it was the product of years of stubborn deliberations, significant writings, precise opinions and highly charged arguments between the most brilliant minds of the time. But it was because of this interplay that our Constitution has become the most important work in political history ever written for the establishment of a free and governed people. George Washington described its creation as "a miracle."

For some, Valentine's Day is an opportunity to show one's love for another.
Others think a "holiday" is not necessary to show affection for their significant other.
Another line of thought is that the greeting card companies, florists and candy retailers perpetuate the myth that gifts must be given on Valentine's Day to acknowledge being in love.
Psychiatrist John Sharp wrote in Psychology Today, "Valentine's Day is all about romantic love – but what is romance, anyway?
"Romantic love, our present day standard, is an uncommonly satisfying mutual condition involving the heart and mind and body – and possibly involving the soul."
So as Valentine's Day approaches, the question must be asked, "What's love got to do with it?
PRO:Day is perfect time to acknowledge love

The recommendation came Wednesday from new regulations proposed by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that would upgrade federal motor vehicle safety standards for child seats for kids weighing up to 40 pounds.
The agency estimated the new rules would save the lives of five children and prevent injuries to 64 per year.
According to research, most child deaths in side-impact crashes occur when a car accelerates after stopping at a stop light or intersection and is struck by a faster car coming from the cross street. Under NHTSA's newly proposed test standards, car seats must prevent the intruding door from harming the child's head and reduce the crash forces striking the child's head and chest.
The test would use a first of its kind sled that simulates a car's front slamming at 30 mph into the side of a car going 15 mph. It would also employ a new side-impact dummy to represent a 3-year-old child, in addition to the existing 12-month-old dummy.
''As a father of two, I know the peace of mind this proposed test will give parents,'' Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement. "Today's proposal will give parents and car seat makers important new data on how car seats perform in side crashes.''
Information on help with child seat recalls and installing car seats can be found at www.safercar.gov.

If you're losing your hearing, a pair of hearing aids can be a game changer. The problem is that a lot of Georgians can't afford them, but there may be a program that can help.Medicaid and Medicare will pay for a yearly hearing screening, but not hearing aids. It's the same situation with many insurance companies. That's where the Norman and Frankie Siegel were hitting a wall. They're in their mid-70s and retired and they were beginning to realize that they were missing out on a lot."I would sit in my chair and turn the TV on and I would turn the volume, and my wife would say, 'That's too loud! Turn it down,'" said Norman Siegel. Even just talking to each other was getting harder."She would tell me something and I would say, yes and no. And she would ask me about it later, and I would say, 'You didn't tell me that.' I wasn't hearing. I was not hearing, I was missing a lot of conversations," said Norman Siegel. The Siegels went to Audiological Consultants of Atlanta, where doctor of audiology Meryl Miller screened them and diagnosed both with hearing loss.Miller says the amount of hearing loss you have is important."But sometimes even more important is what is your lifestyle? What are your hearing demands," Miller said. "When you're in a career, or a lifestyle, that demands that you hear well in restaurants, in meetings, on the phone, in the car, all these different situations, then you need a hearing aid that is going to support all of those different situations."The Siegels just needed something basic, but a pair of hearing aids runs between $2,000 and $6,000, which raised a problem. They got help from the Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation's hearing program.Anna Knippel says they work with uninsured or underinsured lower income Georgians to help cover the cost of hearing aids. "I sat in a fitting the other day and it turned on and we were all crying. It was just one of those -- it's something you can't explain until you've not been able to hear," said Knippel.Instead of paying $2,000, Frankie Siegel said she paid about $25. The little gadgets have a made a big difference."Once I put my hearing aids on, I said, 'Wow! I can hear somebody talking across the room," said Norman Siegel.
The program covers two hearing aids, an ear mold and several appointments for adjustments.Clients usually pay a sliding fee based on their income, household size and the type of devices they need. Costs usually run from $60 to $200.To find out more about the Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation's hearing assistance program, visit: http://www.lionslighthouse.org/programs

CATEGORIES MoviesThings are moving crisply on the 'Die Hard 5' front. This week the film got an official release date (Feb. 14, 2013) and official title (the hilariously bad 'A Good Day to Die Hard'), and now reports are circulating that it might also soon find an onscreen son for Bruce Willis. Variety states that screen tests are underway, with names like Ben Foster, Aaron Paul and Paul Dano on the short list of possibilities. The role of John McClane Jr. will likely be highly coveted on the chance that whoever gets cast could inherit the franchise from Willis in the future. According to Twentieth Century Fox, no actor has an inside track just yet. [Variety]
Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan's ne'er-do-well husband in 'Drive,' has scored the lead role in 'Inside Llewyn Davis,' the latest film from the Coen brothers. 'Davis' focuses on the '60s folk scene in Greenwich Village. No studio is attached yet, but Scott Rudin will produce. Per Deadline, a cavalcade of Hollywood's best are hoping to score a part in the film. Good job, Oscar! [Deadline]
Rade Sherbedgia has been cast as the villain in 'Taken 2,' meaning Liam Neeson will kill Rade Sherbedgia onscreen in 'Taken 2.' Good job, Rade? [THR/Heat Vision]
For the first time in over 30 years, Woody Allen has changed an already-announced title. The Rome-set 'Bop Decameron' will now be known as 'Nero Fiddled.' "I couldn't believe how few people had heard of the Decameron, even in Rome," Allen said in a statement. "And the few that did assumed the movie was based on Boccaccio's tales, which it's not. Anyhow, I changed the title to 'Nero Fiddled,' which is the first time I've changed a title since my last minute switch of 'Anhedonia' to 'Annie Hall.'" 'Fiddled' stars Jesse Eisenberg, Alec Baldwin, Greta Gerwig, Ellen Page, Roberto Benigni, Penelope Cruz and Allen himself. [Variety]
Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' will hit theaters on May 10, 2013, two months earlier than expected. [Coming Soon]
Director Joel Schumacher releases 'Trespass' this weekend, and hopefully it will have better luck than his last outing, 'Twelve.' That film earned just over $183,000 during its theatrical run, making it one of the biggest busts of 2010. Not that Schumacher has any hard feelings. "It's the number-one most pirated film in Shanghai in the month of May!" he told Movieline. "Friends of mine live over there; they have a list of not the top 10 movies but the top 10 pirated movies. 'Twelve' was number one for the month of May. Actually, it means millions of people have seen your movie, and the people who bought it got f-cked because they didn't make a dime." [Movieline]

"We don't know yet," Kelly said shortly after he and Giffords spoke to the House Judiciary Committee hearing on the two rival measures - I-594 and rival gun rights measure I-591 - which are headed to the ballot. "We are looking at what our involvement will be here whether it's on the ground or other resources. But there are a lot of other states where similar things are going on. Then you have the congressional elections.''
Giffords was gravely injured in the head by a 2011 shooter whose spree killed six people and wounded a dozen others, but she continues to recover. The couple's organization, Americans for Responsible Solutions, planned to air ads Tuesday before and after President Obama's State of the Union Address – featuring Giffords sending a message to Congress that "it's too dangerous to wait."
Kelly said their interest in state campaigns is the result of Congress having failed to pass legislation in the wake of the Sandy Hook killings in Connecticut in late 2012.
"We want to see some commonsense legislation passed. If not at the federal level, we want to help in states that are trying to get this passed at the state level. Colorado was successful. It was successful in Delaware. You know – a similar provision in Nevada got through the Legislature but was vetoed by the governor," Kelly said, adding they "want to do our part to help.''
Giffords testified briefly, asking lawmakers to be courageous and saying the nation was counting on them.
Brian Judy of the National Rifle Association testified that Giffords' shooter went through a background check, according to The Associated Press report on the hearing.
"Along with the empathy for these victims, I feel disappointment that these tragedies would be exploited," Judy said.
Zack Silk, campaign manager for Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility's I-594 campaign, said he expects Giffords and Kelly to be "engaged" in the I-594 effort. "We expect them to be close partners," he said.
"The hardest thing in a campaign is to focus people's attention – especially this early. There is no better way than to bring someone with such stature and profile as they have.''

First-Year Forward Leads AHL Rookies with 28 Goals
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 17th season in the American Hockey League, announced that forward Mikko Lehtonen has been recalled by the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins on an emergency basis. This is Lehtonen's first career call-up to the NHL and he is expected to join Boston for its final two regular season games in New York. With the move, the P-Bruins have 27 players on their roster, including 13 forwards, 10 defensemen and four goaltenders.
Lehtonen, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on April 1, leaves Providence as the club's fourth-leading scorer with 53 points and the team's top goal-scorer with 28. The rookie right wing leads all AHL freshmen in goals, ranks fifth in points and sits third with 212 shots. Lehtonen's 10 power play goals are tied for first on the P-Bruins with Johnny Boychuk and he is among the best on the team with a 5-for-15 shootout performance. Along with 13 multiple-point games, the native of Espoo, Finland, has registered six point-streaks of at least three games and he was Providence's February Player of the Month after an eight-goal, 13-point display.
Prior to turning pro, Lehtonen played the last four years with the Espoo Blues of the Finnish Elite League. He was selected by Boston 83rd overall in round three of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

UFC Featherweight champ Jose Aldo may be the pound-for-pound best fighter on the planet but that doesn't mean he's invulnerable. Turns out not only did he break his left foot kicking Chan Sung Jung, "the Korean Zombie," at UFC 163, he also was hospitalized following the fight for kidney stones.
MMA Fighting's Guilherme Cruz has the scoop:
Dr. Marcio Tannure, the UFC's doctor in Brazil, told MMAFighting.com that the UFC featherweight champion was taken to Copa D'Or hospital in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro and diagnosed with kidney stones Tuesday. UOL first reported the news.
"I learned about this problem with Andre (Pederneiras, Aldo's coach)," Tannure said. "He had renal calculus (kidney stones) before. He needs to send me the results of the exams so I can check it. Andre told me it's not serious, and he probably already expelled the stones."
Sounds like Cub Swanson, Ricardo Lamas and the rest of the UFC Featherweight contenders might be waiting even longer than usual for a crack at Aldo's title.
UPDATE: MMA Weekly has the latest:
A Brazilian Athletic Commission representative confirmed Aldo's condition to MMAWeekly.com. He added that Dr. Tannure said Aldo already had a history of kidney stones and that on Wednesday he was already at home and resting.
Aldo will also have to undergo an evaluation from the Brazilian commission before he is approved to fight again, but Dr. Tannure made it sound like the kidney condition wasn't expected to be an issue

The call came in at 3 p.m. on Tuesday.
Hey, do your NuCanoes go on the ice?" the voice asked.
Yep," I answered, "I fish first ice in mine if its bad conditions. I just pull my NuCanoe along until I hit a bad spot and just spud it to where I want to go instead of paddling. I answered. Okay good. Theres a dog trapped on Lake Tomah, and I am wondering if you can come get it out. The DNR dont care, the police dont care and no one seems to be responding to get it out. "Sure, Im on my way, Ill be there in a bit. I replied. This was followed by two more calls came, each from different people, just as frantic, to get this critter some help.
When I got home to start my safety gear checklist, I quickly checked my Facebook page. I was tagged in 17 posts, all about this animal rescue operation.
Okay, I went from community service to community demand. I respect nature, but no animal needs to suffer a fate like that, especially in a spot within view of a hospital and a respite care facility where people could watch it struggle.
As badly as I wanted to help, I needed to go about this correctly. This is first ice and though Ive been ice fishing waters I know, this is Lake Tomah and deeper than what Ive been on. So I loaded up my gear which included life jackets, 2 spuds, a Clam lift suit, plenty of rope and, lastly, yak trax. I then loaded up my NuCanoe and headed to Tomah to find and save the critter.
I got to the site to saw about 30 people milling around.
Im here to help. Wheres the dog?
Dog? What dog? Theres a pelican trapped on the ice.
No its a goose.
Well Im here now so what can I do? I asked.
Well two people are out already with a boat, tub thing. And they are out of rope.
I unloaded my safety gear and NuCanoe and grabbed my friend Jim. Lets go out there and see whats going on. We can lend a hand if they need it. I said.
Jim and I started to spud our way out. Once we were away from shore, I checked the ice and deemed it safe enough to walk on. If you take less than 3 whacks with the spud, we stop. I told Jim.
Well follow their tracks. It held them up, itll hold us up. But keep checking. If this goes south for them, well end up helping them and the goose.
As we reached the spot with the trapped animal, two people had caught the goose. Someone had handed Jim a blanket so we quickly wrapped the goose up and zipped it back to shore where the goose and party was welcomed with an array of applause and photos.
A quick inspection of the goose revealed that it had a broken wing. Presumably it was shot out and unable to fly. Apparently the goose was on the ice since Sunday and the authorities wouldnt rescue it because they wanted nature to take its toll.
There was a turkey vulture and a bald eagle trying to get to it today said one of the bystanders. That is why we (the public) were so urgent to get it rescued. We knew it only had a day or two left.
Something itched at me after I left the ice. Looking back over the tracks of the first party that went out, I didnt see any spud marks. I also realized that the rescuers were outside of their rope by about 40- to 50-feet. And looking in their Pelican boat, I noticed that there was no safety gear, no spuds or life jackets.
From WKBT in La Crosse:
I asked one of the rescuers, Where was the goose trapped in the ice? I didnt hear any chipping. She replied, It was just sitting there. Then it saw us and ran away when we got to it. So I chased it.
This selfless act of heroism cant go unnoticed, but before going out into the elements to save any animal, try to be smart about it. Never go out unprepared, without the right equipment and some training.
Had the ice been thinner or unstable, this story could have changed from a goose search and rescue to a human search and rescue, darn quick.

U.S. Mission to Rescue James Foley in Syria Failed, Officials Say
Members of the Field Marshall Montgomery pipe band celebrate winning the 2013 World Pipe Band Championships at Glasgow Green in Glasgow, Scotland, on Aug. 18, 2013.
Over two hundred bagpipe bands competed for the title of world champion in Glasgow this weekend as the Scottish city hosted an event dubbed the world's biggest ever week of piping and traditional music.
Field Marshal Montgomery, a band from Northern Ireland, were crowned the winners for the third year in a row, beating off competition from bands from as far afield as California, Canada and New Zealand.
Some 8,000 pipers and drummers took part in the event in front of an enthusiastic crowd (though one young fan, pictured below, didn't seem to fully appreciate the skirl of the pipes).

1950 Cub fading oil pressure
I have a '50 Cub that has average oil pressure at first start-up but fades to almost nothing when 10 minutes of running. I thought the oil pressure gauge may be bad, after all it's only 63 years old, but after replacing it got the same results. Any ideas on what causes the oil pressure to fade?
Re: 1950 Cub fading oil pressure
Some engines with wear will exhibit this issue as they heat up; the clearances get a little larger in the bearings and the oil pressure will drop. Depending on how low it goes, and whether the engine shows other signs of wear (smoking exhaust, oil consumption, loss of power, etc.) you may be nearing rebuild time. But if it holds ok pressure and doesn't show too many other symptoms, you may can run it a good long while yet.

Re: 1950 Cub fading oil pressure
These old engines only need to have 7 lbs per 1000 rpms to run forever. So its not the best it could be but it will most likely be fine for quite awhile.
Re: 1950 Cub fading oil pressure
G'day to you. I would ten to agree with Rick's comments .. they sure make a lot of sense. I am not sure about the 7lbs but hey it sounds reasonable as well. One thing I would do is a compression test both dry and wet. See what numbers you get. Post them here and some combined wisdom may be able to offer you a few words.
In the meantimes, I would encourage you to follow the links below and spend a little time in the Owner's and Service manuals.

Re: 1950 Cub fading oil pressure
It's hard to tell with the stock oil pressure gauge exactly how much pressure you do have.
If you have a Harbor Freight store nearby, stop in and pick up an oil pressure test gauge kit from the automotive section. The test gauge will give you an accurate reading of oil pressure in PSI. You can see where you start and where you end up after working the tractor for a while. It screws in right in place of the stock oil gauge and has a hose so you can hang the gauge from the gas cap and watch it while you drive.
Re: 1950 Cub fading oil pressure
Hello and welcome to the best Cub site on the web. Great bunch of guys with a wealth of practical knowledge about Cubs and mechanics in general.
For what it's worth I had the same symptoms as you except that my pressure gauge was reading right on the edge of the red zone, hot at idle, and about center gauge at operating engine speeds. Even though the tractor ran great otherwise, decent power, no knocks, etc. although it did smoke a bit under power, I felt I needed to check it out. I plasti-gauged the mains and the rods, they were all at or over the maximum allowable clearance. While your tractor may run a long time with low oil pressure, it will not with no oil pressure. I presume your oil pressure goes up at operating speeds.
Even though my oil pressure was tolerable I wasn't comfortable with it. I went ahead and gathered up all the parts and gaskets after I determined which I needed (std. or oversized). I was lucky enough to only need standard sizes and it needed no machining. So I was able to replace the bearings and rings without splitting the tractor not to mention save the expense of shop labor. For me (and depending on your skills), it was well worth the effort to check it out before the engine was too far gone. The tractor has great oil pressure now, no smoke, and I think it's a little stronger as well. I took a bit of a gamble by not replacing the rear main seal (it wasn't leaking), however if you need a rear main seal then the tractor will need to be split.

Absolutely, Still do play both that and the original Diablo, which I still have the original discs and expansion packs for (complete with Product codes). great games, in fact Diablo 1 & 2 was the first and only "online" games I've ever played. (used to play Diablo 1 with a female friend in Australia that I was kinda crushing on at the time.)
It's sad to know that future games won't have this kind of forward playability even if you own the system they were released for.

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed running back Rashad Jennings on injured reserve on Saturday, thus ending his season before it began. Jennings injured his knee against the Buffalo Bills in week three of the preseason and has been on crutches since. The Jaguars have not specified the nature of the injury, but most are speculating a ligament or tendon issue.
Jennings was going to be the primary backup to Maurice Jones-Drew this season, which would have had some value as both a basic handcuff option, and also as a guy who could get some starts if MJD got too banged up. MJD sat out the first three preseason games to avoid injury and finally played this past Thursday against the Rams. He looks fine right now, but it's a tricky situation in Jacksonville.
As it currently stands, Deji Karim appears to be the primary backup to Jones-Drew. Karim led the Jaguars with eight rushes for 58 yards against the Rams.

Great recipe, the cookies were moist and had a nice consistency. Definitely will make again, my husband and I enjoyed them very much.
These are great and have become one of our new favorite cookies. I use a 1/2 C. regular sugar and 1/4 C. Splenda for both the white sugar and the brown sugar. It helps lower the total sugar content without comprising the taste and texture. My husband and I are both on Weight Watchers and these are a tasty treat. It's not easy "healthifying" baked goods, especially cookies, but if you need to lower your sugar and fat intake, give these goodies a try. I think you'll like them a lot.
This batter is so addicting and yummy! The cookies are good out of the oven but they're best eaten when cooled.
I've been making this recipe for my husband & many others since I found it in the L&T magazine. He loves them & so does everyone else! They are chock full of healthy ingredients--I use natural peanut butter & Splenda. They're wonderful!

Saturday Vids: Not Disappointed By President Obama
I don't generally like to get too overtly political on this blog, but I definitely think this video is worth taking a look at no matter what your political persuasion. Recently, a lot of my leftist friends have been voicing their disappointment with Obama – they felt he promised things that weren't delivered. I just think in general it's important to give credit where credit's due. Take from it what you will, but I appreciate Jake Lamar's defense of Obama.

The city of Cordele is making plans to clean up dilapidated properties and increase its tax digest.
They are in the process of putting a land bank into place. That will make it easier for the city to take ownership of properties with delinquent taxes.
These redevelopment projects will create jobs, enhance property values, stabilize neighborhoods and reduce crime.
"A lot of these properties that have been abandoned,and they are dilapidated, and really causing issues in neighborhoods are around the neighborhoods that we own and operate, it also just contributes to so much crime in the whole community," says Susan Leger-Boike, Cordele Housing Authority Executive Director.
The housing authority director is hoping city councilors will approve the land bank proposal.

Ever curious, we chomped, crunched, and savored nearly every flavor on offer in the US (and a few new flavors now on American shores) to see which are worth indulging in. Ritter Sport — Milk Chocolate With Whole Almonds What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This nut-studded bar could best be summed up as "pretty average," with the pros ranging from the inclusion of big well-roasted almonds to the excellent nut to chocolate ratio. The cons: while the chocolate had a lovely thick and creamy texture, most found this too sweet for their preference and felt that the "chocolate tastes a bit off, almost plasticky." We'd prefer a richer chocolate, with a higher cacao content, and a little extra salt to balance the overpowering sweetness. 1 / 14 Ritter Sport — Knusperflakes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Tasters exclaimed "delish" and "love it!" as they nibbled on this cornflake-studded milk-chocolate bar. We couldn't get enough of the ratio of creamy (though a tad sweet) chocolate to crisp bits of "not too overpowering" cereal bits. 2 / 14 Ritter Sport — Espresso What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Coffee lovers were smitten with this milk chocolate bar, praising its pronounced espresso flavor and likening it to "drinking an espresso, while milk chocolate melts in your mouth." We were happy to find that the bitter espresso balances out any excess sweetness, eliminating our usual gripe with Ritter's milk chocolate. 3 / 14 Ritter Sport — Haselnuss What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We appreciated the "classic combo" of milk chocolate and hazelnuts in this bar, though some tasters wished that the nuts were more deeply toasted, so that they'd better stand up to the "slightly too sweet" chocolate. That said, Ritter didn't skimp on the amount of hazelnuts; these were generous and well dispersed, with some nuts in each bite and a flavor that permeates throughout the bar. 4 / 14 Ritter Sport — Dark Chocolate à la Mousse au Chocolat What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For the most part, tasters enjoyed this mousse-filled dark chocolate bar, likening it to a mug of hot cocoa. And while we admired the bitterness of the chocolate, many felt that Ritter would have a real hit on its hands if it used darker chocolate where some of the sweetness was replaced by cocoa butter for a richer mouthfeel. Perhaps a boon to those attempting to embrace portion control, one taster felt this was so sweet that "[she] couldn't even finish one square without getting thirsty." 6 / 14 Ritter Sport — Joghurt What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Some found this bar a bit boring, but the majority enjoyed the "tart yogurt finish" and "almost cheese-like (in a good way)" flavor, that was reminiscent of yogurt-covered raisins or Kinder Surprise (a tangy chocolate egg). 6 / 14 Ritter Sport — Knusperkeks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We unanimously gave this chocolate-covered biscuit treat five stars (a rare occurrence at Sugar HQ), largely due in part to its "perfect cookie-to-chocolate ratio" and fresh-tasting biscuit center. We felt that this bar was like an even more enticing version of the chocolate-covered McVitie's digestive biscuits, thanks to its superior chocolate. 7 / 14 Ritter Sport — Nugat What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Our American palates were surprised by this decidedly European take on nougat, which was more reminiscent of gianduja (or Nutella) than the filling of a Milky Way bar. Thankfully, after the initial shock, we were pleased by its "creamy, slightly chewy" texture and deep hazelnut flavor. More critical tasters felt that the filling was a bit pasty and overwhelmingly sweet. 8 / 14 Ritter Sport — White Chocolate With Whole Hazelnuts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Even those who normally eschew white chocolate were pleasantly surprised and "really enjoyed" this offering, thanks to its abundant use of crunchy whole hazelnuts. One minor quibble: per usual, this bar was a hair too sweet (though that's generally to be expected with a white chocolate bar). 9 / 14 Ritter Sport — Amarena Kirsch What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This cherry-ice-cream-cone-flavored bar was the most polarizing of the bunch; some tasters ragged on its fake cherry flavor and claimed that it "tastes like a chocolate-covered cough drop" and was unpalatable. Others felt that it managed to capture the taste of an ice cream sundae perfectly, and appreciated the textural contrast between the creamy filling and crunchy bits within. 11 / 14 Ritter Sport – Edel-Vollmilch What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 One taster summed up our feelings near-perfectly: "apparently it's from Ecuador, which makes it special? I think so!" Our only gripe was that it could benefit from a slightly higher cacao content; still, for affordable drugstore-style chocolate, this is a great value. 11 / 14 Ritter Sport — Waldbeer Joghurt What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We were surprised (but pleased) by the "mysterious [fruity] crunchy bits" peppered throughout the yogurt filling of this bar, which one taster hypothesized could be minced, freeze-dried berries. While most enjoyed this novel flavor, one detractor felt that it "taste[d] too much like berry yogurt (read: health product)" than they'd prefer from a chocolate bar. 12 / 14 Ritter Sport — Marzipan What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Marzipan lovers were fond of this dark-chocolate-covered marzipan bar, though we felt that the combination has been done better (but not at this affordable price point). In an ideal world, the filling would be smoother, and would be enrobed in higher-cacao bittersweet chocolate to help balance the "almost too sweet" marzipan. 13 / 14 Ritter Sport — Weisse Cocos What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We were neither wowed nor put off by this white-chocolate bar, though we did appreciate the real dried coconut pieces included throughout. Its "very rich, nutty, and sweet" flavor is best consumed in small quantities (such as the pictured mini size), as it might cause palate fatigue in a full-sized bar. 14 / 14 2 10 12 0 0 Read More Taste TestFood NewsGermanChocolateCandy taste test Cotton Candy Grapes Are a Circus For Your Taste Buds 1 week ago The Best of the Best New Supermarket Snacks of 2014 1 week ago Is the New Jack in the Box Cronut Knockoff a Cro-Not? 2 weeks ago Here's What You Should Eat For National Cheesecake Day 3 weeks ago Lay's Newest Potato Chips Are Weirder Than You Can Possibly Imagine 3 weeks ago This Candy Bar Is Like a Rave in Your Mouth . . . in a Good Way 7/20 Food News 3 Chipotle Dishes You Won't Find on Menus 6 hours ago 18 Chefs Brave the Ice Bucket Challenge 1 day ago Does the New Taco Bell $1 Cravings Menu Look Awesome or Awful? 4 days ago How Much of a Foodie Are You? 6 days ago Cotton Candy Grapes Are a Circus For Your Taste Buds 1 week ago How to Pack a Perfect Mason Jar Salad 1 week ago candy This Pop Rocks Margarita Is All Grown Up 4 weeks ago 11 Reasons It Was Sweet to Be a '90s Kid 7/21 This Candy Bar Is Like a Rave in Your Mouth . . . in a Good Way 7/20 Lovely Chocolate-Lace Lollipops Are Shockingly Easy to Make 6/11 Pretty in Pink: Stunning Edible Flower Lollipops 5/29 What Totally Sweet '90s Candy Are You? 5/28 Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!
