|Haack wins kayak from memorial race
Jean Haack of Land O' Lakes was the recipient of a new kayak, a Current Designs Breeze, valued at $1,000 from Jeff and Marcia Rohr of Conover.
Haack bought her ticket in Madison in March at Canoecopia when she visited the Callie Rohr Memorial Canoe and Kayak Race booth.Other winners in the raffle were Derek Strohl of Port Washington who won an accommodations package from Wild Eagle Lodge in Eagle River, Cindy Pitzner of Fort Atkinson who won a week's stay at Lake Forest Resort and Club in Eagle River, and Ramona Stoll of Rothschild who won an accommodations package from Black Bear Lodge in St. Germain.
Sixty-plus racers participated in the race this year with race record times being shattered.
The race accommodates all skill levels of paddlers. Participants may choose from the entire two-day race, a one-day or just the last three miles in the Paddle for a Cure race Sunday.
The event included food, music, refreshments, an auction and raffles.
The race also sponsored a summer-long raffle and a Berry Fest in August to raise funds.
The weekend events raised a total of $11,767, which brings the nine-year total to $113,644 supporting pediatric brain cancer research.
The money raised will benefit a research program at Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago under the direction of Dr. Tadanori Tomita.
The Rohrs toured the research facility in December of 2012, meeting with Tomita and his research team. According to the Rohrs, they were impressed with the passionate work that is being done by this team, leaving no doubt they had made the right choice for the recipient of these funds.
The 2014 Callie Rohr Memorial Canoe and Kayak Race will be June 14-15.

Let's face it. Committing a crime doesn't make a lot of sense.
We have a prime example of that this week as a robber now faces some serious jail time for stealing a simple, inexpensive item.
And he fought through store security to make his way out.
The robber is seen on store surveillance video Aug. 30 entering the SuperTarget store on Carl T. Jones Drive in Huntsville.
He headed for the electronics department, where police say he took a cell phone case and stuffed it under his clothing. The store's loss prevention officers saw him and followed him to the door.
As they confronted him, he shoved the two employees away. The robber is then seen running across the parking lot.
I'm not sure which is more puzzling: this guy committing a crime just to steal a cell phone case or to assault a couple of female employees to get away.
With your help, he'll be dealing with a different sort of "cell," one with steel bars.
This crime went from theft to robbery when he used physical force against the two employees.
It's ironic this crime involved a phone, because you can now use your phone to put him behind bars and collect a cash reward.
Call 256-53-Crime. You'll remain anonymous.
Or to text or e-mail an anonymous tip, head to our Crime Stoppers page for details.

Summer of Joy by The Forever Family - about 2 years ago
"This year for our Annual Church Picnic we thought it would be nice to reflect the theme of our summer message series - Joy...Always! Phil. 4:4 Everyone jumped on the Tshirt idea as a way to show that spirit. Before the picnic we all posed for a group shot on the church steps for the cover of our Church Directory. The kids down front are trying to imitate the image on the T. Everyone at Custom ink was great and easy to work with. They answered all my questions and help guide me through the process. The online sign up sheet worked out great for us. Our order arrived earlier than we had originally anticipated and was filled correctly. The shirt quality and price were excellent."

By Robert Simonson
14 Jan 2014
Composer Duncan Sheik knew what Brechtian theatre was before he started composing for Brecht productions. He just didn't know that he knew.
"Saying he is an influence would be overstating it," said Sheik. "When we first started working on Spring Awakening, director Michael Mayer was always going on about the Brechtian influences in the piece" — that is, the theatrical examination of social ills in the musical's story, and the presentation style of singing to which Sheik's score lent itself. "At the time, I didn't even know what that meant. Now, I do!"
The director of both productions is Brian Kulick, CSC's artistic director. Theatre-wise, Sheik can credit Kulick for giving him his start.
"I worked with Brian 11 years ago on Twelfth Night at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park. That was the first time I've ever had any of my music on stage. I was working on Spring Awakening at the time, but it wasn't done yet." He added, laughing, "Frankly, I didn't think what I did was all that great!" He feels differently about his work on A Man's a Man. "I have a better grasp of how to do it, having written for the theatre for a decade now."Continued...

Sarah and Abraham are visited in their old age by three travellers. Their conversation becomes increasingly unsettling and the visitors make the unlikely claim that Sarah is to have a new child. As the couple wonder who the bearers of such news might be, talk turns to a mission of vengeance, and a horrifying plan that leaves them pleading for their neighbours' lives.
Clemency introduces a contemporary twist to a biblical tale, creating the spiritual intensity and reflection for which James MacMillan's work is so well known. First performed in 2011 to critical acclaim at ROH2, and written for string orchestra and five voices, it reunites MacMillan with librettist Michael Symmons Roberts (Parthenogenesis 2000 and The Sacrifice 2007) and Katie Mitchell, a director renowned for the psychological acuity and innovative theatricality of her stagings.

The score was awarded in the latest update to the Hospital Safety Score. The A, B, C, D or F scores are assigned to United States hospitals based on preventable medical and medication errors, injuries, accidents and infections from information compiled under the guidance of the nation's leading experts on patient safety.
Princeton (Birmingham) and Shelby (Alabaster) Baptist Medical Centers were also awarded an "A" score. These three Baptist Health System medical centers are the only Birmingham area hospitals to be recognized with an "A" Hospital Safety Score by The Leapfrog Group.
"It is gratifying to receive this national recognition," said Bob Phillips, administrator of Walker Baptist Medical Center. Our physicians, nurses, administrators and staff members work collaboratively to meet patient safety goals. We are committed to providing quality care in a safe clinical environment."
"Earning an 'A' on the Hospital Safety Score demonstrates that this hospital has exhibited excellence in our national database of patient safety measures," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group.
To see Walker Baptist's scores as they compare nationally and locally, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at Hospitalsafetyscore.org.
The website provides information on how the public can protect themselves and loved ones during a hospital stay.
Calculated under the guidance of an eight-member panel of the nation's leading experts in patient safety, 26 measures of publicly available hospital safety data are used to produce a single score representing a hospital's overall capacity to keep patients safe.
The Leapfrog Group's Hospital Safety Score is the only hospital safety rating to be peer-reviewed in the Journal of Patient Safety (April 2013).

Around the World with LG
LG... Life's Good
A Guide to Sunny Perth
Perth is definitely one of the world's most liveable cities. It's so clean, serene, and beautiful.
In the following video I give a tour of some of my favourite spots around town, including King's Park with it's stunning views and pristine gardens, beautiful City Beach, along with it's must-visit place for a beachside feast, Clancy's Fish Pub. We also drop into Cottesloe Beach where I enjoyed an incredible lunch at Indiana (although I wasn't able to film inside – let me tell you, it is awesome).
The tour ends at Crown Perth, where we're located all this week for the Australia and New Zealand Poker Tour, filming for PokerNews.com and PokerStars.tv.
WSOP Bloopers
My favourite video that comes out of any event, is always the bloopers & highlights. I love looking back on all the good, and embarrassing times! Here's a compilation of myself, Kristy Arnett and Sarah Grant's finest moments.
For now, it's adios Las Vegas. Thanks for another AWESOME World Series of Poker. Next up, it's some well-needed Mexican beach time! to chillax!
Hola Lima!
It's rare that I get to write my blogs while in the subject city, but this week I arrived in Lima, Peru, a couple of days early before jumping into a crazy working mode for the PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour. My initial goal was to squeeze in a quick trip to Machu Picchu, but it was harder to get to than I thought, so, unfortunately, those plans fell through. Nonetheless, roaming the stunning streets of Miraflores is certainly not a disappointing backup plan.
When I checked into my hotel, the Thunderbird Fiesta Hotel & Casino, I got my first pleasant surprise. My room, like all the others in the hotel, is a two-story loft with a kitchen equipped with a giant fridge ready to be filled with goodies from the 24-hour supermarket next door. Anyone who stays in hotels regularly knows that's an extremely rare treat! On top of that, the host venue for the LAPT is conveniently across the street. That is where I am right now, sitting in the media office of the Atlantic City Casino, a small but stylish casino, getting ready for the third stop on the LAPT's fourth season to get under way.
Miraflores is one of the most popular tourist destinations of Lima, set almost 80 meters above sea level, with some of the ritziest hotels and restaurants lining the cliffs of Costa Verde ("Green Coast"), overlooking the stunning ocean. It was here that I was lucky enough to eat at one of the prettiest restaurants I've ever been to, La Rosa Nautica (pictured below), a seafood restaurant set at the end of a pier with the waves crashing around you and a view of Miraflores atop the cliffs behind you as you eat. It was stunning! Surprisingly when the bill came it was relatively well priced for a gourmet meal in such a gorgeous setting, and considering the menu had no prices listed in it. That's usually my trusty indicator that I can't afford it!
On the cliffs above La Rosa Nautica sits Larcomar, a gorgeous three-story, open-air mall, overlooking the ocean, full of shops, restaurants and, what's said to be two of the best nightclubs in all of Lima. I've only been to one of them, Aura, and it was pretty awesome. It was here that I had my first "Reggaeton dancing experience." All I can say is that it's certainly different to the way we dance back in Australia! The only downside to Larcomar is that the complex is certainly not something typical of Peru, lacking the local culture. This is where you'll find the true Americanization of the area with Tony Roma's, Burger King, Pizza Hut and all that jazz tucked into what I call the "American Corner." If you ignore the corner and take in the stunning view, especially at sunset, then you will remember where you are again.
Speaking of sunset, the perfect place to watch it, if you've brought your girlfriend along, or picked one up on the way, is at El Parque del Amor (The Park of Love), just a 10-minute walk along the cliff side from Larcomar. Some say it's a poor smaller imitation of Gaudi's Park Guell in Barcelona with its rounded mosaic benches and romantic quotes tiled into the walls. In the middle of the perfectly manicured gardens is a giant statue of two lovers embraced in a kiss just to set the scene. Warning: skip this and watch the sunset elsewhere if you're feeling a little lonely -- all the loved-up couples surrounding you will probably just make you cringe.
My last recommendation is to take a trip to downtown Miraflores, right by Parque Central, to enjoy a pizza at any of the restaurants along Calle de las Pizzas ("Pizza Street"). It's a quaint little street lined with bricked restaurants similar to something you would see around Europe. There are a few pubs and bars that fill up at night, so it's a great place to come for a drink or two. The biggest bonus? Free Wi-Fi! After a few minutes of heckling from various restaurant servers we decided on Mezzaluna Cafe & Bar for one of its specialty pizzas and my first sip of the popular local soda, Inca Kola. The Inca Kola was average (perhaps choosing the Diet option was to blame) but of course the pizza was delicious. Although much to my disappointment, the Wi-Fi wasn't working, so there went my opportunity for on-the-spot TwitPics.
No More FML
FML. I am proud to say that I'm at least six-months clean of voicing this phrase.
As I once contributed to PokerNews' Top 10 Most Overused Poker Terms, does your life really suck that hard when you can walk your sorry butt on your two perfectly healthy legs out the door of the casino and into your fancy car, or smash your computer mouse against your brand new 17-inch Macbook Pro sitting atop your state-of-the-art grinding station at home? It must really suck to be you.
Most of us forget that we control our minds; our minds don't control us. So when it feels so bad to always fall to the negative, why do we do it so often? Why do we focus on what went wrong or what we lost or what we don't have? What about everything that went right in the process, and the abundance of what we do have?
You have chosen to play poker, so you have made an agreement with yourself to accept the swings. If you haven't, then you need to reconsider your career. The true deciding factor on whether you're a winning player in any situation is the way you process those situations. Despite winning or losing in a monetary sense, what did you learn? Every time we sit at a table, we learn. That's why we keep coming back for more. During the 2010 World Series of Poker, Australian poker player Peter Aristidou gave me a valuable piece of advice for every time I take my seat at a cash game. As soon as I buy in for $300, I need to consider that money gone. It's no longer mine. So when I make a trip to the cage after a session, even if I don't need a rack, it's still a win. That attitude allows me to stand up from any "losing" situation with a positive attitude about what I learned in that session and why I'm empty handed. If I can't get past losing the $300, then I should have been
drinking cocktails grinding in the $.50/$1 at MGM instead.
Eckhart Tolle describes in his book, The Poker of Now, that unease, anxiety, tension, stress and worry are caused by fear of the future. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by focusing on the past. What about the present? What just happened at the table is already in the past. See what happened, learn from it, but then let the emotion go. Don't go into the situation for hours with resentment, focusing on how awful the other player was or telling bad-beat stories to all of your friends about how bad you run. Does that actually change anything for you? Quite possibly, yes, but in a negative way. Convincing yourself that you're doomed, and sitting at a table chanting, "FML, I run so bad," to yourself will just encourage that behavior to continue while you block yourself from seeing the valuable lessons being handed to you.
Focus on this moment, this second, right now. You have the choice to make it a joyful second. And the next. How? Well, how do you drop a hot plate that's in your hand or a heavy piece of luggage? You feel it, and then simply decide to let it go for relief. It's your choice.
The vital lesson in all of this is to keep learning. Mexican Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen's opinion on a poker player's philosophy is, "Don't be passive about it, maybe you think you can't change things so you do nothing, but there is always an action to be taken, maybe it's just having a better attitude in all situations. Is 'hoping for good things' going to make the difference? Well, that's for you to believe or not. But I'm sure anxiety, stress and frustration are all taking away energy from you and making you weaker." An "oh well" attitude is not necessarily positive thinking. That's being passive rather than open-minded enough to look at what you can do to improve next time. Feeling and then letting go of the frustration, taking the lesson and using it to your advantage the next time you sit down, while bringing a positive attitude for your new game -- that's being open-minded.
Positive thinking takes time, and I'm still often guilty of falling to the negative, but simply removing those three evil letters from your vocabulary is the perfect start. I suggest you replace them with these two letters: LG… Life's Good!
Another Aussie Millions is All Over
Unless you were stranded on a deserted island somewhere, I'm sure you heard all about the phenomenal record-breaking month poker saw this January. Before January 6, the record numbers for the biggest buy-in poker tournament in the world was 24 in the $100,000 Challenge, which was held at last year's Aussie Millions. Then PokerStars went and blew that figure out of the water at PCA to get 2011 off to a cracking start with a whopping 38 players in their $100,000 Super High Roller. Just two weeks later, Crown Casino managed to match exactly that figure, attracting 38 players to their $100,000 Challenge at the 2011 Aussie Millions. To follow that up, Crown then announced a last-minute addition to the 2011 Aussie Millions schedule. An addition that had the entire poker world talking. A $250,000 Super High Roller.
Of course, in between all of this you can't ignore the Million Dollar Cash Game showing some of the world's craziest poker that we've ever seen in a live reporting blog, thanks to some random Chinese businessmen who peeled themselves away from their regular high-stakes cash games in Macau to join the big boys at Aussie Millions. Dead money equals plenty of pros swarming with cash to burn. Of course, these businessmen also bought into the $250,000 Super High Roller, which then meant that so did an outrageous total of 20 players. When the whispers of this event started, it was planned to be a winner-takes-all heads-up format with a the aim of attracting six to eight players. When the event was announced as confirmed, we had heard that 13 was the confirmed number to start the day, which had everyone gasping with amazement. When the registrations continued to grow and fill out two tables, the poker media had to keep picking our jaws up off the ground. Being there was just a whole new level of excitement and I was lucky enough to catch some of the players before they took their seats.
How many trips have you been on where you've made so many videos on your phone with the intention of putting it all together for an awesome collage of memories, but then never get around to doing it? I'm a serial offender. Except for at work, where it's my job. So my favorite part of any poker event that I cover with PokerNews is when it's all over and we get to relive all the fun stuff over the course of the tournament in under five minutes with the highlight reel. The following highlights from the 2011 Aussie Millions is the perfect way to make yourself jealous of all the fun you may have missed out on, had you not joined us for the most action-packed 18 days of poker.
Obviously we like to have a bit of fun here at PokerNews. Seeing Gloria Balding's fabulous Full Tilt Poker spoofs and Kristy Arnett's hilarious Poker Peeves, I decided to take a stab at my own spoof with the help of PokerNews Bloggers Donnie Peters and Tim Duckworth in light of the recent European cheating scandal.
Patrik Antonius is one of the world's most perfect men. This is not "poker hot," this is real-world-hot. He seems to be the only man that most of my male friends openly admit to having a man-crush on. There's so much perfection to him that he gives the green-light to any straight man too nervous to admit how attractive another dude is. We have yet to find something wrong with the guy and we all wish we could see more of him. He doesn't play many live tournaments as he mentions in the following video, so it was so awesome to see him make it to the 2011 Aussie Millions Main Event Final Table.
Then of course it was awesome to see a true local take down his own home-ground Super Bowl. David Gorr may not be a household name, but he sure is a regular in the Crown Poker Room. Whether it be a $60 buy-in weekly tournament to a $10,000 Main Event, you'll see Gorr in the field. His dedication has finally paid off with one hell of a giant trophy. Congratulations David!
As for me, I'm in Australia's stunning Sunshine Coast with six of my girlfriends enjoying the perfect detox from that 18-day grind, and then? Off to Sao Paulo, Brazil for the PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour... LG, Life's Good!
There's no place like Melbourne. Yes, I'm probably biased as it's my home, but there are just so many reasons to love it! It hosts some of the world's greatest sporting events and festivals, and the amount of passion around food and wine is amazing. Being away from home makes you appreciate all the little things you take for granted as a kid, so I decided to write about some of my greatest Aussie appreciations.
One of the most common topics of conversation an American will have with an Australian will have to do with how grotesque Vegemite is. The key is to use it sparingly, people! The first time you tried the dark brown food paste made from yeast extract, your Aussie mate probably thought it would be funny to spread it thick like peanut butter on your toast. That's not cool. Even Aussies don't eat it that way.
Care for a Snag?
I was lucky enough to be home for the Australian Federal Election. Without getting into the politics of it, all I can say is, unlike in the U.S., voting is mandatory. It was almost a week ago, and we still have no result because the majority of the voters were uneducated, or all the 18-year-olds voted for the "Australian Sex Party" for a laugh.
Besides getting to revisit my primary school where I realized how small everything is that I used to think was gigantic, my major highlight on every Election Day is the good old Australian Sausage Sizzle. Anything that draws a crowd in this country, no matter what the purpose, even if it's just a Saturday afternoon at Bunnings Warehouse to pick up some timber for your home renovation, will get the local and mighty friendly Aussies to fire up the barbecue and start selling "snags" out front.
A Normal Gym Surrounding
I tweeted last week about the vast difference between a late morning gym session in Melbourne compared to one in Las Vegas. In Las Vegas, silicone on tiny toned bodies became the norm. Suddenly coming back to Melbourne was a positive snap back to reality that the world isn't actually full of strippers, and having a gym full of mothers off duty instead was quite accommodating on the self esteem.
The Language
We're in a league of our own with our lingo down here. Today I was in the post office and the woman helping me said "Ok, no worries, I'll post this off for ya and then Bob's your uncle!" meaning, she will get the job done. Our wacky way with words led me to put Joe Cada, Phil Hellmuth, Barry Greenstein and Erick Lindgren up to an Aussie Lingo challenge during the 2010 World Series of Poker.
Crown Poker
Home, sweet home to the Crown Poker Room. Again, call me biased, but it's definitely my favourite place to play poker. Perhaps it has something to do with all the familiar faces, or the 70 tables they have spaced out so generously across the huge room so you're not left squashed in like sardines, or the selection of weekly tournaments, some that I can actually afford. If you want to rub shoulders with some of your favourite AFL footballers, then the Crown Poker Room on a weekday afternoon is the place to be.
Without a doubt, the best time to be in Melbourne is the second half of January. The sun is beaming, the beer gardens around the city are bumping, the beaches are decorated with tanned bods, the biggest tennis pros are in town for the Australian Open, and of course, the likes of Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan grace the land down under for the Aussie Millions, an event that has put Crown Casino on the poker map.
The second biggest tournament series that the Crown Casino hosts is the Victorian Poker Championship, which is happening right now. I was lucky enough to play in the Ladies Event on Tuesday night, which attracted over 10 tables of beautiful Australian women, such as Jeanie Hachem, Amanda De Cesere, and Mieke Buchen, who you may recognize from the 2010 Aussie Millions coverage. I didn't even make it to the first break, so that's pretty much the end of my story on that event! The highlight of the Vic Champs, though, is the State of Origin. Its slogan - "State versus State, Mate versus Mate" -- is pretty self-explanatory. If you haven't noticed already, Aussies are pretty proud of their turf, so having groups of mates battle it out to represent their state is just asking for a passionate event that would resemble something as loud and crazy as what you'd find on the Latin American Poker Tour. Our very own Heath "TassieDevil" Chick had an impressive third-place finish, but it was James "Andy McLEOD" Obst who not only led South Australia to victory but took the first-place prize of $11,000.
The $10,200 High Stakes Hold'em and $2,700 Main Event, both set to be doozies, are coming up this weekend. If you can't join me in the Crown Poker Room, then the PokerNetwork Live Reporting Team will provide the next best thing.
The Must List
If you're lucky enough to visit Melbourne, here are some of my recommendations.
- Eat: World Bar – I love this place. It has such a cozy feel to it with indoor fireplaces and live music in a gorgeous spot by the river. The food is amazing, and the bar offers 99 wines and 80 beers from all over the world. On a Sunday afternoon you could be lucky enough to catch my gorgeous friend Coby Grant, singing some acoustic tunes.
- Drink: Whether it's day or night, St Kilda Beach is a great spot to head to for a drink. At night, drop in to any bar along Fitzroy Street, and you're guaranteed to share the dance floor with some of the most stunning girls in the city. For a "Sunday arvo" session in the sun, Vinyard on Acland Street is the best spot for a crowded but atmospheric beer outside by the beach. If you prefer a bit of space, then Metropole on Fitzroy Street would suit you a little better, and you could even pick up some gourmet wood-fired pizzas for only $5 each during the week.
- Stay: Crown. If you like the smell of rich mahogany and (want to) own many leather-bound books, then the five-star Crown Towers is your spot. If you're more on the modern end of the spectrum, then the Crown Promenade or the newly-opened Crown Metropole are both impressive, not to mention super convenient, with the Crown Poker Room just downstairs. Which leads me to…
- Play: Crown Poker Room, d'uh.
- See: The Great Ocean Road. If you've driven along California's Highway 1, Victoria's Highway 1 blows that away. If you can't "keep right" on our roads in a rental car, there are plenty of day-trip tour companies, too.
- Shop: Chapel Street in South Yarra. This is the fashion hub of Melbourne and a great spot for some of the best cafes, restaurants and bars in the city. At night this area can give a slight reflection of the Jersey Shore. But if you love that, then head to Lygon Street – Melbourne's "Little Italy" – for some of the best Italian food and slicked hair you'll ever come across.
Cyprus is the third-largest island in the Mediterranean, sitting at the crossroads of three continents, attracting somewhere around 2.4 million vacationers per year. Hundreds of poker pros will be gracing the Mediterranean shores of Cyprus this month for the 2010 Merit Cyprus Classic. I was lucky enough to join them last year on a trip I've ranked as one of my favorite on my busy PokerNews schedule, so I'm here to fill you in on my tips and adventures before you head over for the return of the event next week.
The Important Stuff
- Language: English is widely spoken across the island, but Turkish is the main language in the northern Turkish-Cypriot community where the tournament is held.
- Currency: Turkish Lira is used in the north of the island. We were able to exchange our dollars hassle-free at the venue's casino cage.
- Tipping: While tipping is always appreciated worldwide, a 10 percent service charge is applied in all hotels and restaurants, so you won't be chased out the door if you don't tip.
- Weather: Cyprus is in its heart of summer right now so prepare for dry Mediterranean heat. What more motivation do you need to wake up early everyday and jump in the ocean? The average sea temperature climbs up to around 27° C, so it may take some serious self-control to drag yourself out of the water and into the casino every day.
- Electricity: The power voltage across the entire island is 230 volts, so all you North Americans should save the appliance disaster and space in your luggage by leaving your blow dryer at home.
- Legal Age: You must be 18 to gamble in Cyprus, but if you're 17 you're free to slip in a few alcoholic drinks while watching your friends on the rail.
Crossing Over
Without delving into a touchy subject, there is a strong division between the Greeks and Turks on the island of Cyprus. The international airport is located in the south of the island, occupied by the Greeks. To get to the venue in the north part of the island, you must cross the border into the Turkish occupied area. If the change of language on the road signs isn't enough of a distinction from one side to the other, then perhaps the gigantic army barracks and heavily armed guards surrounding each side of the border is enough of an indication.
Foreigners can freely cross the border. If you have a taxi driving you through, the driver will assist you with passport control. If you're considering hiring a car, however, be sure to rent the car from the south (at the airport), enabling you to drive it to the north. If you hire from the north, your insurance coverage will not allow you to drive it to the south.
The Venue
The luxurious five-star Merit Crystal Cove Hotel & Casino sits on its own private beach in the north of the island, offering everything a poker player needs for their dream getaway, from all-inclusive buffet meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, traditional entertainment at night, crystal clear beaches, and of course, the Grand Casino Club. So if you happen to find yourself eliminated early, look at the bright side: you get to spend more time on the hotel's private beach with free (strong!) cocktails and a buffet feast by the water.
Check out last year's tour of the venue.
See the Sights
Although the resort has everything you need, if you can spare a day to drag yourself away from the beach, or the felt, you should take a 20-minute drive into the town of Kyrenia, surrounded by the calm Mediterranean Sea to the north and greenery of the Besparmak Mountain Range to the south, offering some of the best scenery on the island.
Within the town is a small harbor framed by the Kyrenia Castle, home to many historical artifacts and is the current resting place of the world's oldest shipwreck. You can visit the harbor to relax and soak up the 6,000 years of history, have a bite to eat alongside all the yachts, or spend an afternoon shopping.
Into the Night
I've had quite a lot of Chinese meals in my day with such a strong Asian influence in Australia, but I can still easily claim that one of the best Chinese feasts I've ever had was in Cyprus at The Dragon, located at the Rocks Hotel & Casino in central Kyrenia. If you don't believe me, ask Gus Hansen and Huck Seed, who also dined there at the same time.
For some traditional food, hit up Niazi's, one of the most popular restaurants in Kyrenia. It's situated by the water and offers all sorts of food, but you'd be crazy not to order their trademark "Full Kebab," with charcoal-grilled kebabs and accompanying Meze, a traditional Middle Eastern cuisine full of dipping sauces and breads. I walked out feeling six months pregnant.
For an after-dinner-digest, walk along the Kyrenia harbor through the night markets. It was here that I purchased some of my favorite jewelry, hung out with some stray dogs, and then stopped by one of the harborside bars for a nightcap and Hookahs.
Coverage of the 2010 Merit Cyprus Classic starts next week and the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be bringing you all the action from the felt and as always follow us on Twitter for up-to-the-minute news.
Olá Florianopolis
I've been in the wonderful land of Brazil for more than three days now for the PokerStars.net LAPT Florianopolis. Writing the PokerNews Jet Set guide got me pretty pumped to get here, and all expectations have certainly been met so far, except for the weather!
Jesus Loves Me, I Hope
We got off to a rough start with some delayed flights that left us stranded in Rio de Janeiro for a day. It certainly wasn't the worst that could happen, as it allowed me to tick off another city on my map of "been-there-done-that!" Our goal was to check out Jesus. We didn't quite know where to go and with all five of us not speaking a lick of Portuguese, we simply pointed to "centro" on our trusty map and off we went. We were successfully dropped in town, not-so-coincidentally directly in front of a restaurant with "American Bar" plastered across the wall.
Jesus was hiding his face behind a giant cloud curtain, so after a typical pay-per-kilo feast and a mosey around the city, we decided to get closer to catch a glimpse of the iconic Christ statue. Still no love. We jumped in another taxi to the airport feeling a little rejected.
Olá Floripa!
After more than 24 hours in transit, we finally made it to Florianopolis, known as Floripa by the locals. I had anticipated winter weather, but who thinks to bring boots and coats to South America? Not a naïve Australian. With one pair of jeans and seven summer dresses, I'm in big trouble this week with 10 degrees Celsius weather and pouring rain.
Our first project at any stop is to film all the city sights for our opening video. Getting motivated to brave the cold was tough, but it ended up a really enjoyable day. We're staying at Costão do Santinho, one of the best beachside resorts in Floripa, which sits within a giant forest. On every corner you turn is another pool overlooking the beach, and all accommodation is set within individual villas. We took a hike through the mountain on Santinho beach, finding a small lagoon and sand dunes peeking through the mass of bamboo. Next up was Lagoa da Conceição where the team enjoyed a beer by the water. Check out the finished product:
How Do You Say…?
You can always rely on the language barrier to add a little entertainment to travel adventures. I like to use Google's translator tool to allow me to tweet to my Portuguese friends. I decided to tweet my frustrations at how much I suck at speaking the language. Little did I know that the term suck may translate directly, but the use is reserved only for describing a certain related sexual activity. Much to the entertainment of Andre Akkari, Felipe Ramos, Maridu Mayrink and hundreds of other Brazilians, I just tweeted what seemed to be a fulfillment of some wildest dreams. An influx of @mentions and new Brazilian followers came through, along with tears of laughter at dinner that night as Akkari proceeded to show every Portuguese-speaker in the restaurant.
PokerNews vs PokerStars
A spontaneous after-dinner-soccer match is standard in this region of the world. Armed with the video cameras, the PokerNews team and Team PokerStars Pros Joe Cada, Andre Akkari and Gualter Salles went on a mission to find the football field. Brazil defeated USA ― no surprise there. The video will go up in the next couple of days so check it out on PokerNews.com. The next challenge will be Sarah Grant and me in a Latina dance-off against Team PokerStars Pros Maridu Mayrinck and Veronica Dabul. Again, no surprises there who will come out on top! Stay tuned.
Oh Yeah, Poker!
Of course, the reason we're all here is for the fourth stop on the PokerStars.net Latin American Poker Tour's third season. All of the Latin American PokerStars Team Pros are in town, along with Joe Cada and Victor Ramdin to mix it up, PartyPoker's Felipe Ramos, and hundreds of lucky online qualifiers who make the field nice and juicy. All eyes will be on Argentinean Team PokerStars Pro Nacho Barbero – not only did he set LAPT history by being the first Team PokerStars Pro to win an LAPT Main Event in Punta del Este, but he then smashed that record by backing it up with a second LAPT Main Event title immediately after, in Lima. Can he do it a third time? Anything's possible!

If they try to do so on standard motoring insurance they'll soon be in trouble and unlikely to receive a pay out if they make a claim, even though many taxi drivers work in their own vehicle. Specialist insurance coverage is vital for taxi drivers.
So, what are the differences between simple motoring taxi and insurance insurance?
The price
Sadly webeden, taxi insurance policies are higher priced than standard motoring insurance coverage. Insurance plans are always depending on risk, as well as the miles and hours on your way taxi cab drivers devote means they can be simply more prone to engage in an accident, so the selling price increases http://cabsinsurance.webeden.co.uk.
Taxis' tendency to be large enough to carry a decent number of passengers puts them at the more expensive end of that scale too, as the cost of insurance is partly predicated on the size of the vehicle. Use a multiquote taxi cab insurance plan device for the best worth and cover.
The kind of function one does
It becomes an added you will not find in regular motor insurance plan. Taxis are generally exclusive employ, known as minicabs, or open public work with or hackney carriages. A private retain the services of car needs to be arranged upfront when a general public hire licence allows the driver to pick up through the road. The insurance coverage you might have need to reveal the sort of job you need to do.
Forms of insurance plan
In those two extensive categories there are actually diverse degrees of specialised taxi cab insurance plan. Coverage only may be the cheap and cheerful cover, referred to as car owner is designed for 1 taxi cab vehicle driver as well as any motorist plans will allow someone to push your cab and is regarded as the pricey of which all.
The identical levels of include you discover in common motoring insurance policy also utilize – fully thorough to alternative party only (see http://www.cabsinsurance.webeden.co.uk).
Breaking down protect
Wearing down with your vehicle is really an ache from the neck. Deteriorating in your taxi cab starts to cost from the moment the motor grinds into a stop. Taxi insurance policy can offer breaking down cover that will include a completely-accredited replacing cab so that you can continue operating immediately.
Taxi insurance involves unrestricted traveler accountability include. If you should have an accident then you will be covered for anyone in your vehicle who is hurt, this means. Your licence sets a restriction on the volume of travellers it is possible to bring so you must be sure that your taxi cab insurance plan involves mask for that number.
Open public liability insurance
As you are a business, you can be at risk for claims for damage caused by your negligence. This is certainly open public liability insurance and is particularly a function of some taxi insurance policies. The damage a legal claim against you could cause is potentially disastrous, although you will have to pay extra, and the figures in the cover will sound ludicrously large.
Just about all www.cabsinsurance.webeden.co.uk insurance coverage include mileage boundaries. Private drivers rarely need to consider these restrictions, but taxi drivers do. (www.cabsinsurance.webeden.co.uk) Search for http://www.cabsinsurance.webeden.co.uk unlimited miles insurance policies or check that the restrictions that implement will never have an impact on your job.
Personal use
It is something that you should check carefully, although most taxi insurance will cover drivers whether they are working or using their taxi for personal use. The licence from your local authority might spot boundaries on who can drive a registered taxi cab, so make sure to make certain and don't pay money for cover you cannot use.

Under Steve Kemple, music reference librarian in the Popular Library, downtown's Main Library has begun doing some fascinating free programming to highlight the depth of its music collection — and just music in general. It already has an Experimental Music at the Library series, featuring live events such as a band from Oakland (Horaflora) that plays grapefruit, electric toothbrushes and balloons. At 7 p.m. on March 20, Hadron Collider will pair psychedelic light projections with feedback and drone noises.
But coming up first, the spotlight is on another of Kemple's ongoing music programs at the Main Library — Listen to This! — for which an audience is invited to listen to and discuss albums from the Library's collection.
No word if Dennis Rodman will attend with or without his new best friend, but you're sure to have a good time — and become well-versed on North Korean music — if you do. The program will be held in the first-floor Popular Music Lounge.
Kemple's creative programming was just written up in the Library Journal.

In Berks County, it's a happy ending to a "tail" of lost and found: Finley, the golden retriever, is back with his companion.
"It was, relief, like, I can't believe it," 46-year-old stroke victim Denice DeAntonio told FOX 29's Bruce Gordon Friday, while seated on the couch of her Fleetwood home, with her service dog by her side.
Volunteers, including handlers with tracking dogs, had combed wooded areas in nearby Wyomissing in search of the 2-year-old golden Retriever since his disappearance Tuesday evening.
Around 9 a.m. Friday, a woman living about half a mile southeast of the search zone called to say Finley had turned up in her backyard.
"I think definitely my first reaction was...prayers were answered," said DeAntonio.
First stop was the Oley Valley Animal Clinic, where Finley was checked out and found to be in good shape, though a few pounds lighter.
"Diagnosis is he's going to be just fine," says Dr. Nicole Hart. "I told them, 'Go home, give him small, frequent meals today just to ease his stomach back into eating, since he went for a couple of days without eating.'"
Denice says she'll let Finley rest and recuperate for a few days.
Then, they'll resume the training, the practice, the bonding that had just begun when the pair were separated.
Denice says her stroke four years ago left her in a dark place, but that the kindness of strangers – in person and online – has her re-examining her life.
"Finley is home, we can move in the direction that we were headed, but I think that a bigger lesson is learned: that ... just how good people are," she said.

WOODLAWN — Two people were killed in a truck-motorcycle accident Friday night at the intersection of Illinois 15 and Woodlawn Road.
According to a news release, the sheriff's department received a call of an accident at 9:18 p.m.
Jefferson County Coroner Eddie Marks said the two occupants of the motorcycle — 52-year-old Billy Philpot of Vandalia and 49-year-old Debra Graham of Mt. Vernon — were killed.
The motorcycle was westbound on Illinois 15 and was struck by a pickup driven by Neal Dailey, 41, of Woodlawn. Dailey's truck was eastbound on Illinois 15 and was attempting to turn into the Shell service station, in front of the motorcycle.
Dailey was first taken to Crossroads Community Hospital and then airlifted to a St. Louis hospital.
Marks said the victims were not wearing helmets and were pronounced dead at the scene after being ejected from the motorcycle.
The accident remains under investigation by the sheriff's department, Marks, and Illinois State Police.
The accident was the second within a week involving a cyclist. An accident near the Jefferson-Marion counties line on Wednesday night resulted in major injuries to a Centralia man.
Donald G. Cullum, 47, was seriously injured when he lost control on his cycle on Richview Road. Cullum was taken to St. Mary's Hospital in Centralia and then transferred to a St. Louis hospital, according to police reports.
Cullum was ticketed for driving under the influence of alcohol.

An international warrant for the arrest of American cyclist Floyd Landis has been issued by a French judge after Landis failed to appear in court. The judge, Thomas Cassuto, believes Landis hacked into the computer system of the laboratory that preformed the drug testing after the '06 Tour.
"French judge Cassuto from the Tribunal de Grande Instance of Nanterre informed us that he had issued an international arrest warrant on January 28 against Floyd Landis, who tested positive for banned testosterone during the 2006 Tour de France, after our laboratory computer system was hacked," [French anti-doping agency head Pierre] Bordry said.
"It seems that (Landis) made all he could to enter into our computer system to try to prove the laboratory was wrong. He showed many documents he got by hacking to numerous sporting instances," Bordry said. "The judge traced a network of hackers back to the ringleader."
What this means for Landis isn't exactly clear. An international warrant essentially puts him on INTERPOL's wanted list and begins the process for possible extradition to France. But it probably doesn't mean authorities are going to begin a man-hunt for Landis, kicking in doors and searching every warehouse-to-doghouse trying to find their fugitive.

Dr. Archelle Georgiou discusses new recommendations released by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology that could double the number of people who are supposed to take medication to lower their cholesterol.
The guidelines reflect a huge philosophical shift for how we assess heart disease and cholesterol numbers:
-We should be treating patients based on their risk, not their LDL number
-The new guidelines have lowered the threshold for who's considered "high risk" for heart disease
-Experts have stepped away from touting a low-fat diet
The new guidelines outline 4 categories of people: 1. Had heart attack or stroke2. Have LDL >190If you're in one of those categories, you should be on high-dose statins.
3. If you have diabetes4. If you're between 40-79 and have greater than 7.5 percent risk of having heart disease over the next 10 yearsThen, you should be on a moderate dose of statins, recommendations say.

4.1/5 rDev +10.8%
12 oz bottle poured into a goblet.
Pours hazy orange with a thin ring of sticky foam. Aroma is citrus hops and a bit of spiciness. Smells quite nice.
First sip has a substantial hop flavor and robust bitter finish. Spicy rye flavor comes through as well. This is a very flavorful beer. Malt is in background but provides a munich-like sweetness to the brew.
This is borderline IPA in my opinion, but that is a good thing. Nice robust hoppy flavor complemented by the spicy rye. Very nice.

Poured a hazed peach-like color with a clingy one finger white head that left one full ring of lace as it settled into a frothy mass.Aromas have a real grapefruit hoppiness to it mixed with a juicy,gummy, fruitiness.Flavors are a mix of tartness from the rye and a hefty dose of resinous,citric hop,there is a juicy fruitiness more malt imparted, underneath the tartness.Its a refresher with a nice mix of citric hop,rye tartness,a fruity malt,nice job.

3.48/5 rDev -5.9%
A shiny, golden color as it hits the glass, with some light orange tints bordering the edges. Nice clarity throughout the beer, save for a minor chill-like haze in the dense center. A big bubbled, off-white head forms slowly as the carbonation bubbled trudge from the bottom of the glass to the top. The aroma gives off a kind of "sweaty" vibe on the first take. Going back again, I'm smelling a lot of "green" and vegetal hops; light, wet, mildly floral. Some bitter grapefruit peel makes its way in with a drying finish that I'm assuming is from the rye, though there isn't much actual rye aroma being picked up. Just an assortment of garden-basket hops and citrus peels.
The taste contains a little bit of alcohol warmth, despite being only 6% ABV - not necessarily a bad thing, however. It's backed with a white pepper-like, earthy spice - lots and lots of bready and spicy, dry rye. For being so present on the palate, I'm surprised it didn't show more in the nose. The big hop character is back, this time, a bit more leafy and ashy, even with some mild pine needle flavor to them. A dry bitterness strikes about halfway through and carries into the aftertaste. Very light on the citrus flavors overall, maybe a bit of orange zest and grapefruit pith - things tend to stay a bit bitter. The pale malts add a light touch of sweetness, but that's about all they do. Any flavors they contribute seem to get washed out by the rye. The finish is dry and spicy with lots of rye and some mild, earthy hops. Thin-medium body with medium carbonation; slick and wet mouth feel.
Decent rye beer, though nothing to write home about. The most upsetting thing about it was the aroma. Just didn't do much for me; didn't really care for the hop profile it was giving off, and the rye was surprisingly muzzled. Overall, not a bad choice, but there are many others in this department I'd reach for before this one.

Appearance: 1/3 inch head, hazy, orange-brown in color, moderate carbonation
Smell: citrus hops and rye
Taste: orange, floral hops, some rye, and lemon
Mouthfeel: medium bodied, medium carbonation, sweet start with a bitter middle that gets less bitter on the finish
Drinkability: This is a decent beer, but I do not get as much of a rye taste here as I do in other rye beers. It is ok and if you like bitter beers, pick this up. However I have had better in the style.

4.22/5 rDev +14.1%
12oz bottle pulled from fridge, allowed to warm a bit. bottled on 07/07/10 stamped on bottle. poured into a standard pint.
pours out a super cloudy golden yellowish color with a one finger of fluffy white head. great sticky lace, and great retention. small bits of sediment. looks like a darker hefe.
mostly oily resinous hops in the aroma. citrus and tropical fruits with some light piney notes. balanced by a nice bready malt. a hint of rye somewhere in there as well.
an explosion of bright resinous oily hops. mostly grapefruit citrus and tropical fruits. a nice bready malt tries to balance, but the hops rule here. just a light rye like spiciness in the background, the spiciness hits more after the sip. lots of lingering hop bitterness.
medium bodied, carbonation is feeling good. a nice drinkable offering for the hop heads alike.
overall: a great pale ale, the rye wasnt huge, but made for an even better pale ale. recommended IMHO and worth atleast a single bottle.

4/5 rDev +8.1%
A - Poured into a mug, pours a golden color with a fluffy looking white head about 2 fingers high, with decent retention and some pretty lacing.
S - Fruity rye, citrusy hops. A bit piney.
T - The rye is a lot more noticeable than in the smell. Complements the hops quite nicely, giving this brew some added personality.
M - Very fine carbonation, sort of creamy, and the hops kind of stick inside your cheeks. Pretty smooth drinking for a pale ale.
O - By far the best I've had from this brewery, I'd buy it again if I could ever find a 6-pack instead of a sampler with mediocre brews.

Appears a clouded copper golden hue with a bright white off head. Fine scattered lacing forms nicely. Aroma is pungent citrus and pale malts, a touch of fruitiness pretty solid smell. Flavor has a touch of sourness but it works the pale ale brings bitter pelletized hops coating the palate. Spicy peppery rye flavor with citrus hops blasting through it kind of works. Mouthfeel is all about the bitterness and hops interplaying with the malted rye and barley. Carbonation is tight bubbled, medium bodied slightly slick with hop oils. Drinkability overall is pretty solid a bit unbalanced in the hop direction but I'm actually enjoying a bit of rough unrefined hops.

Undated 12 oz can purchased near brewery about 3 months ago and kept refrigerated.
Pours golden with a small, partially durable head.
Smells spicy and floral, rather as expected. But the flavor clearly reveals wild yeast. Unintentional I believe. So much for unpasteurized in this case. The farmhouse effects actually fit somewhat well with the spicy rye/hop profile and don't completely ruin the beer, but it certainly doesn't taste like it should.
Feel: medium-light body is properly carbonated but a bit harsh.

This is Arcadia's 12th Anniversary Brew.
A - Golden in color,crystal clear, with a three finger head. Good retention with a fair amount of lacing.
S - Yeasty with fruity apricot and notes of banana notes.
T - Light, citrus fruits give way to mildly sweet bananas and dried apricots with notes of pepper. Moderate bitterness. Very crisp and clean.
M - Light to medium in body. Moderate carbonation.
D - This, their 12th anniversary brew, is light, refreshing, and fairly complex. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who was looking for a great summertime brew. The only problem I can find is that this is not summer.

(Served in a tulip)
A- This beer has a crystal clear apricot hued body with a sticky snow white head that leaves sheets of register marks that last for the full beer. There is a snow glow of tiny bubbles swirling around the beer before rising to the top.
S- This beer has a herbal skunky hops, that are a pleasant skunk almost cat pee aroma. This is followed by a woody pine resin hop finish which is softer and has a note of spice like pepper to it. Overall it is a bit soft especially compared to the taste.
T- The tangy citrus note to the big green hops has more of a funk dark green flavor to it with a slight sweetness of pale malt underneath. There is a fruity almost bubble gum flavor to the malt that has a yeast quality to it. The spicy rye note comes through as the beer warms and compliments the hops and the malt with a little snap.
M- This beer has a full mouthfeel with a creamy texture and no alcohol heat.
D- This beer has some good big hops with some nice depth and a bit of unique complexity around the hops. It is easy to drink and pretty tasty.

A: nice tangerine and golden colors within. Lacing is rather nice with a fine coating of spiderwebs at the upper third of the glass. The bleached white head existed only for a few dying moments
S: full of pale malts and some hops, nothing in the way of rye though. A very nice earthy and sweet whiff is developing. Even the hop whiffs are pretty laid back. It is somewhat mildly spicy in the nose
T: the palate unlocks a hardworking drinker. Mild is the best superlative I can think of to describe this brew. And I mean mild in the sense of incredibly quaffable. Toasted rye and pale malts kiss each sip and wash down with a bite of hoppy grapefruits and pine needles. Just a solid brew
M: a nice splash of carbonation keeps things interesting and moving along. For the flavors the feel is right on
D: keep these coming. One of my favorites form Arcadia

On tap at Hopcat. Hoppy beer, lighter in color than I would expect. Not much of a rye edge.Bitter astringency, malt not really coming through to help balance and drying finish. Ok mainly because its fresh, could be a tad better with food. Certainly not a sessionable.An odd one.

It is an absolute gorgeous Sunday late afternoon here at the homestead and the temp is about 78 with a brillant breeze. Trying the Sky High Rye and it was a very good selection for this afternoon. The beer poured pale yellow with nice white head that is lacing quite well. The smell has a mix of fresh pine and citrus. Neither is overpowering and genuinely subtle. The taste is very good. Starts with a bitter citrus/grapefruity taste then finishes off the pallet very clean. The mouthfeel is good, some may be put off by the grapefruit bitter start, but those that like a decent west coast pale wont mind a bit. I could session this...the real question is could you!

12 oz. bottle poured into a shaker pint.
Appearance-Muddy golden brown color and somewhat hazy. A bit lighter than I'd expect. Moderate sticky white head with good lacing.
Aroma-Fruity, nutty rye notes, with slight butter caramel, toffee, and hints of raisins and almonds. Herbal, spicy hops dovetail with the zesty, spicy rye notes.
Flavor-Spicy, raisin studded rye bread with walnut and almond overtones and a drizzle of dark caramel. Additional prune and fig dark fruit notes with orange citrus and piney/spicy hop notes. Moderate to moderately high hop bitterness adds a refreshing edge to the flavor. Pepper and caraway meld in the finish, giving the overall impression of a spiced holiday fruit cake. Complex, multi-faceted, and delicious.
Mouthfeel-Medium full, chewy body from Rye, with soft, moderate carbonation. Smooth and creamy on the palate.
Easily one of the best rye beers I've ever had. Complex aroma and flavor, fantastic mouthfeel, and just all around fantastic. A beer to be sought out.
NOTE: I just had Sky High Rye again recently and I'm assuming that the bottle I rated was a little bit old because the hops on the bottle I'm having now is much hoppier. Not bad, just different, though I think I like this one a touch better when the hop character is slightly subdued.

This is a really good lookin' brew. Nice lacing all the way down the glass. Its golden yellow and and transparent. Good citrus smell that is barely there. I really like the fruityness along with the dry finish. It has a slight bitterness as well with a light mouthfeel. I was really surprised by this one and I think this is could be a great session brew even at 6%. I will pick this one up again.

Women's hoops downs Columbus State in exhibition action
A strong second half helped the JU women's basketball team to a 76-71 win over Columbus State in exhibition action Sunday at Swisher Gymnasium.
Junior Jade Cargill scored 14 of her 22 points in the second half and had 15 rebounds for the Dolphins. Junior Stephanie Edwards added 14 points, while senior Tracie Sneed and freshman Queen Alford each finished with 13 points. Freshman Briona Brown scored nine points and had four assists to help the cause.
The Dolphins set up the win by shooting better than 40 percent in second half from the floor (15-31, 48.4), three-point line (4-5, 80.0) and charity stripe (13-18. 72.2).
"We are happy to get the win," JU head coach Jill Dunn said. "We made some adjustments at half time that worked well in the second half. Like any exhibition, there were a fair share of mistakes, but we will fix those in practice this week. Overall, we are excited to get the season going Friday."
In the second half, the Dolphins trimmed the seven-point deficit to 44-42 on a three-pointer by Alford at 15:30. The Cougars answered with a three-pointer by Shan Basley for a 47-42 advantage. JU used a 16-8 run, capped on another Alford three-pointer, to take a 58-55 lead with 9:40 left.
Columbus State cut the lead twice to one before an Edwards three-pointer gave the Dolphins a 67-63 lead (5:36). A Basley three-pointer cut the Cougars deficit to 70-67 with less than a minute remaining, but a layup by Sneed and free throws from Edwards helped secure the JU win.
Basley finished with 15 points after making 3 of 5 from beyond the arc, while Taren White had 24 points to lead the Columbus State offense.
An 11-0 run, capped on consecutive three-pointers, helped the Cougars take a 17-7 lead with 12:43 left in the first half. The Cougars pushed the lead to double-digits, 23-13, on a Basley three-pointer (7:49). The Dolphins used a 13-6 stretch, capped on a Sneed layup, to trim the lead to 29-26 with less than three minutes left. The Cougars took a 33-29 lead into the half following two Alford free throws in the final minute.
The Dolphins start the 2012-13 season Friday against Florida A&M with a special 11:30 a.m. tipoff in Swisher Gymnasium.

I am SO SO SO HAPPY you made it to the Theatre sale! That little room was my fave. I spent hours in there and never thought to snap a photo. I even got to the top shelves via the very scary {but surprisingly sturdy} ladder. They last day is this Saturday. I am torn...scrapbook or junking??? I am going to blog my nifty little find right now. Thanks for the inspiration!

Oh my gosh, I love a good thrift store! In the past week, I have found two sterling silver serving pieces (okay, they look like they've been stored in a garage for a hundred years), but they're lookin' pretty good as I clean them up. I always have my eye out of a nice teacup and saucer, yup, that's what I want, teacups and saucers.

Aaaaah -- a theater sale?!?!? It's a good thing for my budget that I've never seen such a thing. My daughter and I would go crazy in there. You really did hit the jackpot. Can't wait to see your posts about it!
