The are plenty of lists like the Dolch list of the most common words, though I can't say that I am much of a fan of teaching vocabulary through lists. A list treats words in isolation rather than in use and encourages memorization as the goal, which isn't very stimulating and does't mean that people can do anything with the words.

The award was presented at a gala on October 24, 2002 at Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral in Los Angeles, CA. Former recipients include Richard Meier, and Frank Gehry.
Based in Los Angeles, and a fellow of the AIA, Myers is known for his compelling designs for performing arts spaces, most notably the award-winning New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, NJ, and The Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts in Cerritos, CA (look for his trademark fireplace in both venues). Other large-scale cultural projects range from the master plan for a five-block area in Los Angeles, including the Museim of Contemporary Art and the Music Center.
Barton Myers Associates was founded in Toronto, Canada in 1975. The firm moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980's when Myers began to teach at the UCLA Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning. In 1986, Myers was the recipient of the first Toronto Arts Award for Architecture, and in 1994 he received the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Gold Medal. Canadian performing arts projects include the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton, Alberta.
Current projects include visual arts and performing arts centers in Tempe Arizona and New Brunswick, NJ. The Myers residence in Santa Barbara, CA, completed in 1998, won a 2002 AIA award for innovative housing design.

On April 23, the NEC Philharmonia makes its first trip to Boston's Symphony Hall since 2010. Four years ago, the concert program featured Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10. For this return visit, NEC's Calderwood Director of Orchestras Hugh Wolff has programmed another work by Shostakovich that speaks to the theme of Music: Truth to Power that has informed many of our concerts this season. In these notes, Wolff writes about the history behind the music.
In Place of Triumphalism,
the Struggle against Tyranny
At New England Conservatory this year, we've been exploring the relationship between art and authority under the rubric "Music Speaks Truth to Power." Tonight's program features two works that strive to express the struggle for freedom of those under tyranny. For both Ludwig van Beethoven and Dmitri Shostakovich this was personal.
An early admirer of Napoleon Bonaparte as the man who would save Europe from its corrupt and sclerotic monarchies, Beethoven famously struck Bonaparte's name from the Eroica symphony when the French general declared himself emperor. In late 1809, after defeating the Austrian army, French troops were, for the second time in five years, occupying Vienna. During the occupation, Beethoven wrote incidental music for a production of Goethe's 1787 play Egmont, by then a classic of political liberation literature. It's the story of Count Egmont, a 16th-century Flemish patriot, who resisted Spanish rule in the Netherlands and paid with his life, but not before predicting the demise of the Spanish empire. The play surely resonated with a population living under occupation. Beethoven is at his best in this music—the powerful overture bristles with aggressive music depicting the Spanish occupiers, answered by pleading or heroic phrases of the Flemish patriots. Egmont's execution is graphically portrayed by a sharp two-note gesture in the violins. After a moment of stunned silence, a hushed transition in the woodwinds ushers in a coda of liberation music. The overture ends in wild swirls of triumphant F major.
Dmitri Shostakovich, when asked in 1957 to write a symphony commemorating the 1917 October Revolution that swept the Tsar out and the communists into power, chose instead to write about the 1905 uprising against the Tsar. This was a deft maneuver—his subject would please the authorities, but he could avoid the triumphalism that a work about 1917 would require. As so often in Shostakovich's music, the message could be heard on two levels: the authorities heard music that portrayed the 1905 revolutionaries as heroes, while dissidents and intellectuals (and anyone with a keen ear and sense of history) could hear music that expressed the bitterness of a failed struggle against tyranny, with no small amount of violent repression. That Shostakovich wrote this symphony immediately after the Soviets suppressed the 1956 popular uprising in Hungary underscored its relevance.
Symphony No. 11, "The Year 1905," is a vast cinematic canvas, an hour of uninterrupted music, that quotes songs every Soviet citizen of the time recognized—songs of the anti-Tsarists of 1905, whose words surely spoke just as clearly to survivors of Stalin's brutal regime. Each movement features a different song:
First movement: Listen: the autumn night is black as treason, black as the tyrant's conscience. Blacker than that night, a terrible vision rises through the fog: prison.
Second movement: O Tsar, our dear father! Look around you: life is impossible for us because of your henchmen, against whom we are helpless.
Third movement: You fell as heroes.
Fourth movement: Rage, you tyrants—mock us and threaten us with prison and chains. We are strong in spirit, if weak in body. Shame on you tyrants!
Anna Akhmatova, the great Russian poet who lost one husband to the regime's executioners and a son and a second husband to years in the Gulag, called these songs, after hearing the premiere of the symphony, "white birds against a terrible black sky."
The symphony opens with hushed, icy strings and harps. The sense of foreboding is heightened by throbbing timpani and distant brass fanfares. The subtitle Palace Square sets the scene: this is the square in front of the Tsar's Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, January 1905. The second movement, The 9th of January (the morning a procession of workers fatally gathered in Palace Square to deliver a petition to the Tsar), begins with frantic pianissimo figures in the low strings and the song "O Tsar, our dear father" in the low woodwinds. This moves through two huge waves of intensity, then subsides. The snare drum interrupts and an epic struggle ensues, reaching a peak of savage violence representing the Tsar's troops' attack on the petitioners. After the last remorseless drum stroke, the air clears, revealing the strings, harp, and celesta recalling the symphony's hushed opening. This leads into the third movement, In Memoriam, a solemn dirge for those killed, with violas playing "You fell as heroes." A martial motif in the brass announces the finale, The Alarm Bell. In this movement, the revolutionary songs come close to triumph (as did the revolutionaries later in 1905) before the brass and percussion obliterate all resistance. As the sound dissipates, quiet strings and harps emerge once again. A lonely English horn laments before the alarm bell propels the symphony to its demonic conclusion. Shostakovich called the bell "a reminder that there are powers mightier than men, that you cannot escape the judgment of history."
It was during 1917, the year of the Russian revolution, that Prokofiev wrote his Violin Concerto No. 1. With Russia's future uncertain, the following year Prokofiev headed to America via Vladivostok, Japan, and the Pacific. From there he went to Europe, settling in Paris in 1923, where the concerto received its belated premiere. The Parisian public, eager for shock and scandal, found the work a bit tame. Only after the great Hungarian violinist Joseph Szigeti began to champion it, did the concerto win wide admiration. Szigeti wrote that this concerto fascinated him with its "mixture of fairy‑tale naïveté and daring savagery." An exquisite melody in the solo violin sets the lyrical tone of the first movement. The second movement is a driven, flashy scherzo. A more complex finale leads back to the serenity of the concerto's opening melody, and the music ends with gently rising D major roulades.

Waste - Why care? (Finland)
- Topic
- Waste
It is important to reduce soil, water and air pollution and the potential health hazards caused by waste. Waste can also be detrimental to the use of environment and deteriorate the landscape. The increasing trend towards the reuse and recycling of waste is positive. In Finland, there is a possibility that the amount of waste incinerated will increase, making it even more important to find more effective methods of waste management.

CATEGORIES Classics, Drama, Casting, Mystery & Suspense, Newsstand, Remakes and Sequels, Movies, CinematicalTwo years ago, The Hollywood Reporter published the news that Al Pacino was interested in starring in a remake (cringe) of birthday boy Billy Wilder's Witness for the Prosecution. At the time, David E. Kelley was in line to write the screenplay, and Robert Benton (Kramer vs. Kramer, Places in the Heart, Nobody's Fool) had just begun talks to direct the film. Since then, however, we've heard nary a peep about the film, and it was possible to assume that Pacino had come to his senses and decided to move on to things that, while not necessarily original, didn't involving trying to improve upon Wilder.
It turns out, though, that the remake isn't actually dead. In fact, Michael Radford recently told an Italian paper that he'll be directing the film, and that Nicole Kidman is in talks to play its title character, a woman who agrees to testify against her husband in a murder trial. (Nothing so simply as stepping into Marlene Dietrich's shoes, huh, Nic?) There are precious little other details available about the film; questions range from whether Kelley's screenplay is being used to which role (the lawyer or the husband) will be taken by Pacino.

WASTE WATCHObamacare Website Woes
from Eyewitness News Online
Local Website Developer Also Finds Headaches With Government Healthcare.gov Site
October 23, 2013
The website troubles continue for those trying to sign up for Obamacare.
So far, 19 million people have logged on to healthcare.gov, only to find confusing error messages, broken calculators, wrong information on Medicaid eligibility, long delays and timeouts. The president admitted Monday that there are major problems with the site and now experts are being brought in to fix the issues.
Another criticism of healthcare.gov is the price, $500 million.
Eyewitness News spoke to a local website developer about the problems with the site.
Jeff Samples with HGO Technology tried to log into the site while we were at his office in Charleston and couldn't complete the process. Finally, he gave up, which is what a lot of Americans are doing.
Samples said one of the big issues with healthcare.gov is that it does not work on the various website platforms. He could get further through the process on Firefox than he could on Internet Explorer, but neither browser allowed him to complete the application.
For Samples, it comes down to not enough testing prior to the launch to discover the glitches.
Samples is confident his company or others could have developed a site that worked. When Eyewitness News asked him how much it would cost, the answer was shocking. He said it's hard to pinpoint an exact price without knowing all of the associated system, but estimates $2 million would cover the cost.
Samples said a big factor in that $500 million price tag is that the government had an infrastructure of new hardware and security systems built just for healthcare.gov. He argues there are equally secure servers already in existence that could have been used.

Win "Martha's Entertaining: A Year of Celebrations" on the Ehell blog! Entries close May 11th.
2 Members and 6 Guests are viewing this topic.
This isn't any specific story, but it's something I've noticed over the years in parking lots. People just don't seem to hurry to get out of your way anymore, or maybe I'm noticing it a bit more. Exceptions being people trying to corral little kids or people with limited mobility. No, I'm talking about people who can move, but choose not to.1. Crossing the parking lot without looking to see if traffic is coming, then giving you the stink eye when they surprise you into slamming on your brakes. Bonus points if they throw up one or both hands in a "The HECK you doing?!" gesture.2. Walking side-by-side in a slow amble, making you drive so slowly that it barely registers on your speedometer.3. Walking right in the middle of the drive aisle, cart or no cart, like they own the place.I grew up learning that, if at all possible, you stay off to one side or jog to get out of the car's way. When I worked at a store with a big parking lot, customers like this made me late, even when I left early to avoid it.
I present to you a PSA prompted by someone I saw driving today:Please, do not speak on your phone while driving. If you must, please do not "speak with your hands" (the person you are speaking with will not see your gestures anyhow). If you are driving with one hand at your ear and the other waving in the air, somehow maneuvering with your knee (I assume) then at LEAST keep your eyes on the road, not on the half dozen papers spread on your steering wheel and dashboard.
Which begs a question. In a situation like this were you go through customs before boarding the flight into the US - what happens when the flight is canceled. Do you have to leave through Canadian Customs?
Two SS on the walking trail over the weekend. It was a lovely Indian Summer day and the path was crowded. Most walkers were good about letting faster walkers by or sharing the path with oncoming walkers (not walking abreast, but moving to single file when others were oncoming). However, our SS were, well, SPECHUL! Both had strollers and were walking side by side, taking up the whole path. Not only were they impeding traffic behind them, but oncoming walkers had to go off the path, onto protected meadowlands (stay on the trail signs everywhere). They studiously avoided my " Excuse me?" when I tried to get their attention to let me and about 12 others who had piled up behind them to pass. The kicker? We get to the endpoint of the path and their respective husbands asked them what took them so long. One of the SS giggled and said, "There were so many people on the path!" Yeah, lady, piled up behind you or jumping out of your way.
So on the third try, I had finally gotten back to where I had been (the very, very end so as to be out of everyone's way) a young man walks up to where I am and says "Excuse me, ma'am, but *I* am waiting for my bags so I need to stand in front of you." I asked him if they happened to be any of the ones coming up and he said "No. I just want to be here when they do." I said "Well THAT is MY bag coming up right now and you'll forgive me for being bee-itchy, but it's the third time I have tried to get it and I am not going to be nice anymore." "Oh," he says "I didn't realize YOU were waiting for bags, too."
Oh for goodness sake, why else would you be standing there?
"Oh," he says "I didn't realize YOU were waiting for bags, too."
Several I saw yesterday. I was waiting to turn left onto a road, and on that road, to my left, I heard sirens, and saw an ambulance. The light turned green, and while there probably could have been enough time for me to go, I waited. But the three cars in the lane to my right, going straight, did not. All three zoomed across the road, the third literally just missing being t-boned by the ambulance. All because they might ahve to wait for the NEXT cycle of the traffic light.

'Parking plans will ruin us'
5:00pm Tuesday 28th January 2014 in News
A DOCTOR says new parking proposals will kill his practice.
Under fresh proposals, Colchester Council plans to introduce all-day parking restrictions in parts of Christchurch.
It would mean Dr Mark Gurdon's patients would not be able to park close to the practice, in Gray Road, and would have to choose to park in paid-for town centre car parks or leave the practice.
The plans are part of a borough-wide review, which the council hopes will ease parking problems in the town centre and in areas commuters use to park for free.
Chiropractor Dr Gurdonm who runs Lexden Chiropractic and Back Pain Clinic, said: "One of our concerns with the proposed parking regulations is that patients will not have proper access to our clinic and would not be able to make use of us, which potentially has very serious consequences for us as a local business.
"Access is key for patients and often they choose their provider based on location and access to a clinic."

Chiropractic is an alternative medicine (Wikipedia) around which there is substantial controversy. http://www.skepdic.c
om/chiro.html says: "This idea was first propounded in 1895 by D. D. Palmer (1845-1913), a grocer and magnetic healer from Davenport, Iowa. Palmer was a vitalist who considered intelligent energy to be conveying information among various body parts. There is no scientific evidence to support these ideas."

Fred Nichols, a Sunday school department director at Jasper's First Baptist Church, said the idea to make yard signs came from one class a few years ago.
"It was really a group of ladies in that class," he said. "We wanted to make sure that people knew why we celebrate Christmas."
Nichols said "Happy Holidays" seemed to be becoming a more popular phrase than "Merry Christmas," so the members of the class called area merchants and asked them to decorate with "Merry Christmas" instead.
"There's nothing wrong with 'Happy Holidays,' but it doesn't tell the story," Nichols said. "Christmas is celebrated for Christ's birthday, and we wanted that to be clear."
The Sunday school class decided to go a step further and have red yard signs made that included the phrase, "Wishing you love and joy as we celebrate Jesus' birth — Merry Christmas."
"At first we only ordered 100, and they were gone in 10 minutes," Nichols said. "Then we ordered another 100, then 500, and finally placed an order for 2,000 signs."
Nichols said one entire room at First Baptist Church was filled with the signs.
"It wasn't filled for long, because all those signs were sold," Nichols said. "We sold them for $3 each, and they cost about $2.65 each to make. We sold them for $3 so if anyone wanted one and couldn't pay for it, we would just give it to them."
He said many other churches in the area wanted some of the signs to give out.
"Out of that last order, a lot of them did go to other churches," he said. "I've seen these signs all over Walker County now."
Nichols said the Sunday school group didn't sell signs this year, because they felt "the market may be saturated," but he said they may have been wrong.
"We've still had people calling and wanting signs," he said. "We may have to do it again next year."
The signs have been a great outreach, Nichols said.
"They have been very popular, and I think they serve their purpose," he said. "And it all really started with a group of ladies in a Sunday school class."

It seems every time Frankie Edgar is involved in a championship bout that goes all five rounds, the decision handed in by the judges is immediately disputed upon its reading by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) ring announcer Bruce Buffer. And while last night's (Sat., Feb. 2, 2013) UFC 156: "Aldo vs. Edgar" event featured a close bout between "The Answer" and Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo, surely this one would be devoid of controversy, right?
No one is screaming "ROBBERY" from the rooftops but scorecards have varied across the Internet from a close win for Edgar to a draw to justification for Aldo having been awarded the unanimous decision. The official scorecards, by the way, read 49-46, 49-46, and 48-47.
Naturally, that leads us to Fight Metric, the official statistics provider of the UFC, and its report on the bout (click here to check it out in full and we strongly encourage you to do so).
Striking first:
Grappling next:
Performance ranking:
UFC President Dana White felt the scoring was a bit wonky but revealed at the post-fight press conference that he did believe Aldo was the rightful winner. The numbers back up his assessment, as well as that of the cageside judges tasked with declaring a winer.
Now let's hear what you think, Maniacs. Was it closer than it looked? Did Edgar deserve to win? Or was Aldo the clear winner and all of this is just silly?

Symantec late Thursday confirmed that source code used in two of its older enterprise security products was publicly exposed by hackers this week.
In a statement, the company said that the compromised code is between four and five years old and does not affect Symantec's consumer-oriented Norton products as had been previously speculated.
[ Prevent corporate data leaks with Roger Grimes' "Data Loss Prevention Deep Dive" PDF expert guide, only from InfoWorld. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
"Our own network was not breached, but rather that of a third party entity," the company said in the statement. "We are still gathering information on the details and are not in a position to provide specifics on the third party involved. Presently, we have no indication that the code disclosure impacts the functionality or security of Symantec's solutions," the statement said.
Symantec spokesman Cris Paden identified the two affected products as Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and Symantec Antivirus 10.2. Both products are targeted at enterprise customer and are more than five years old, Paden said.
"We're taking this extremely seriously, but in terms of a threat, a lot has changed since these codes were developed," Paden said. "We distributed 10 million new signatures in 2010 alone. That gives you an idea of how much these products have morphed since then, when you're talking four and five years."
Symantec is developing a remediation process for enterprise customers who are still using the affected products, Paden noted. Details of the remediation process will be made available in due course, he added.
An Indian hacking group calling itself Lords of Dharmaraja had earlier claimed that it had accessed source code for Symantec's Norton AV products.
A member of the group using the handle "Yama Tough," initially posted several documents on Pastebin and Google+ that purported to be proof that the group had accessed Symantec's source code.
One of the documents described an application programming interface (API) for Symantec's AV product. Another listed the complete source code tree file for Norton Antivirus. Two documents on Google+ offered detailed technical overviews of Norton Anti-Virus, Quarantine Server Packaging API Specification, v1.0, and a Symantec Immune System Gateway Array Setup technology.
According to Symantec, the initial set of documents posted by the hacking group was not source code. Rather, it was information from a publicly available document from April 1999 defining the API for something called the Definition Generation Service. The document explains how the software is designed to work, but no actual source code was in it, Symantec had noted.
A second set of documents posted by the group, however, did contain segments of Symantec source code for the two enterprise security products, Paden said.
Comments posted by Yama Tough on Google+ and Pastebin suggest that the Symantec information was accessed from an Indian government server. Many governments requires companies such as Symantec to submit their source code for inspection to prove they are not spying on the government.

La Monnaie ¦ Opera ¦ Children's Day of the Arts ¦ Intro
Children's Day of the Arts
For families with kids up to 12 years
Two years ago, at the initiative of the Flemish Minister of Culture, Joke Schauvliege, the third Sunday of November was declared the Children's Day of the Arts in Flanders and Brussels. La Monnaie participates in this event alongside 150 other organisms.
On this day, children – accompanied by their parents or grandparents – may discover what it is like to express their emotions with their voices and bodies, and how costumes and make-up can help them to do this.
The cultural development team is ready to take families with children (under age 12) deep into the world of opera, in the chorus room.

Today's weather forecast: August Gloom
The 11th anthology from the WriteGirl nonprofit (Amazon, 292 pages, $16), which pairs teens with successful female writers, is as bold, upsetting, and inspiring as the first ten. All have won awards, probably because they illustrate the power of literature to reveal and enlighten. Whether memoir or short story, each piece was difficult to write, but the suffering and joy that explode from the pages only increase their value.

SponsorsDragon, Karakoram, Northwave, Ortovox, Sweet protection, The Snowboard Asylum
Website #1http://www.mcnabsnowboarding.com
Where do you guide backcountry snowboarding? Through my guide company Mcnab Snowboarding I offer backcountry snowboarding and splitboarding courses in Chamonix, France, as well as, exotic snowy locales around the globe. My destination courses change each year. This year I'll run courses in Krygyzstan and Russia. 2013 Season Highlight My splitboard trip to Kashmir in India where we scored perfect powder day after day. A perfect mix of fresh lines and new cultural experiences. Amazing super steep tree riding and big mountain faces all fresh and untouched. Favorite Jones Board I think I spent about 90% of my season on the Jones Hovercraft 160 and Solution 168W Splits. I rode/guided something like 14 solid weeks of Splitboarding with a wide variety of objectives from Splitting in Kashmir right through to Split Summiting Mont Blanc here in Chamonix. When I am deep in the BC or up high and carrying extra Glacier kit I ride the Solution to cope with the extra kilos on my back, for day tripping when the pow is deep, fresh and steep the Hover is my pick of the day. When not Splitting I ride the Flag 168W, a board that can handle anything at any speed, it's my go to board for non splitting days. If you only got one pow day for the entire next winter, where would you ride? If I only got one bottomless powder day next season I'd take it right here in Chamonix. The terrain here is perfect and the descents are steep and long. Grand Montets on a perfect day is hard to beat, but then some steeps off the Midi… a Cosmiques couloir in full flow right down the Bosson's Glacier to the valley would be a nice score and one you could be happy with for a while.
What is one lesson every beginner splitboarder should know? Splitboards are quite wide when split into skis and Split bindings make edging the ski difficult on icy or steep terrain. Learn how to control and trust your edges and how to change the size of your stride for different gradients and traversing. Edge your top ski hard and bring the lower foot on a shorter stride (just barely past your top foot, a kind of shuffle) on steep terrain as the lower ski is way harder to edge. Splitting is all about being efficient so learn to slide rather than step and you'll be able to hike for ever! What mountain ranges or lines are on your radar? This coming winter I'll be guiding around Chamonix where I have a heap of new zones to explore and some 'new' steep and deep Chamonix extremes style courses running. I'll also be running a splitboard trip to Krygyzstan and a late season heli-boarding trip to Kamchatka, Russia.

Forget about pure needs. Pure and simple, LSU's Patrick Peterson was the best athlete available left on the board at the fifth spot overall, and the Cardinals wasted no time making him their first pick.
Cornerback was not even considered among the five top needs for the Cardinals by most daily team observers. Quarterback and an outside pass rusher in particular were considered far greater priorities.
But the Cardinals seldom stray from the best-available-athlete approach, and the selection of Peterson - who many draftniks considered the best available athlete in the draft overall regardless of position - was no exception.
What could double the Cardinals' pleasure is Peterson's ability to return kicks, a skill that figures to be quickly utilized.
But first things first.
Peterson is a shutdown corner who is going to start right away. Mark him down first on the depth chart at right corner in pace of Greg Toler, who got an opportunity to start last season but never quite came through as well as the Cardinals had hoped.
Toler is still considered to have major upside, and he should still get plenty of playing time as the third corner.
With Peterson starting on the left side and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie starting on the right side, the Cardinals suddenly could have one of the best starting CB tandems in the league, provided DRC steps up his game after a very disappointing season in 2010.
Operating opposite Peterson, who has a work ethic to die for, Rodgers-Cromartie is not going to want to be overshadowed. With Peterson, who is going to love practicing against Larry Fitzgerald on a regular basis, pushing DRC, it's highly doubtful the Cardinals will rank 26th in average gain per pass play, as was the case last season.
Now about that return factor. The Cardinals already have one of the best kickoff returners in the league in LaRod Stephens-Howling. But their punt returner at season's end, 2010 third-round pick Andre Roberts, left a lot to be desired.
So what you got in Peterson is a player who provides major upgrades in two spots.
One more factor very much worth noting. That the Cardinals did not draft a quarterback, which was by far their major need, with their first pick suggests the new starting QB in Arizona will be arriving soon via free agency (Marc Bulger?) or trade (Kevin Kolb?)
In the meantime. Look for the Cards to keep drafting the best players available the next couple of days.

Pahokee prepares for Glades Central's high-octane aerial assault
By Jeff Greer
If there's one thing Pahokee coach Blaze Thompson knows about this year's Muck Bowl, it's that Glades Central will throw the ball. Frequently.
And the Raiders have good reason: Even without big-time BCS prospect Kelvin Benjamin lining up at wideout, Glades Central still has one of the top receiving corps in the area, if not the best.
That sets up Muck Bowl 26's key battle for Friday night: Glades Central's passing game vs. Pahokee's secondary. Jet's jets vs. Blaze's blazers. Or something like that.
Quarterback Jamarious Rowley leads all area passers with 1,825 yards and small-schools passers with 22 touchdown tosses. The senior will rely on seniors Davonte Allen, Robert Burgess and Jaqavein Oliver and junior Jaime Wilson, along with a few other talented young receivers, to carry the load. Oliver contributed 56 receiving yards in Glades Central's 39-0 win over Suncoast last week, the first game without Benjamin, who is no longer eligible to play because he passed the maximum age for Florida high school football players.
Emerging sophomore backs Aaron Baker and William Likely, who combined for 167 rushing yards against Suncoast, can help Rowley if they can establish the threat of a running game.
Glades Central (8-1) scores a cool 35.7 points a game, thanks in large part to its 223.6 passing yards per game and a coach in Jessie Hester who loves to push the envelope on offense.
Meanwhile Pahokee's defense has actually been more vulnerable to the run, allowing 148.1 rushing yards a game. The Blue Devils only give up 98.7 passing yards on average.
So, as the saying goes, something's gotta give. Thompson wants to play defense with his offense.
"We expect an aerial attack, a major air attack," Thompson said on Monday. "They're gonna air it out. That's what they always do … We've got to slow down the game as best we can. Keep their offense off the field as much as possible. That's easier said than done, but that's what we've got to try and do."

Galvanize plans to open location in Fort Collins
An architectural rendering shows what the entrance to Galvanize will look like at 242 Linden St. in Fort Collins.
Galvanize, which combines co-working space with startup incubation and a software-developer school, will lease space at 242 Linden St. Blue Ocean purchased the 14,000-square-foot former home of the Sunset Events Center for $1.5 million earlier this year.
Galvanize's chief executive Jim Deters expects the location in Fort Collins to open in about a year. Extensive renovations will take place at 242 Linden in the meantime, with a second floor being added. Deters said Galvanize in Fort Collins will look nearly identical to the original in Denver, complete with a café and coffee shop, desks and working suites, and gSchool classroom space.
The partnership brings together two organizations geared toward helping entrepreneurs grow their startup companies. In addition to its commercial real estate division, Blue Ocean also invests in startups and provides mentorship and services to those companies to help foster their success.
Blue Ocean's director of communications, Bridget Richards, said Blue Ocean executives, including founder Curt Richardson, will be involved with mentoring companies renting out space at Galvanize in Fort Collins.
"We see it as hugely complementary," Richards said of working with Galvanize. "It's so good for the Fort Collins ecosystem. We see their coming to Fort Collins as a great endorsement that they see the potential of our area."
Galvanize opened its first location in 2012 in Denver, and has plans to open a second location in Denver in 2015. The first phase of a campus in San Francisco campus is open, and the announcement about Fort Collins comes just a week after Galvanize officially opened an 11,000-square-foot location in downtown Boulder.
"One of our big goals is always to accomplish two things: to build more connectivity among the communities along the Front Range and then connect those communities to the other startup supernodes of the world," Deters said.
The announcement on Friday came on the eve of the Blue Ocean Enterprises Challenge business pitch competition finals, which is the culminating event of Fort Collins Startup Week on Saturday.
Deters said working with Blue Ocean was a natural fit, and something that has been in discussions for "quite some time."
"They're the entrepreneurial powerhouse of Fort Collins," Deters said. "To do this in collaboration with them is really a no-brainer."
