CSC hosting Super Region 4 Wrestling Championships this weekend
CHADRON Wrestling fans are in for a treat in Chadron this weekend.
Chadron State is hosting the Super Region 4/Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championships in the Nelson Physical Activity Center. The two-day tournament begins Friday with the first session at 11 a.m. The second session, which is the championship semifinals and the consolation quarterfinals, starts Friday at 5:30 p.m.
Saturday's action gets underway at noon with the consolation semifinals and finals. The championship finals are slated to begin at 5 p.m.
Ticket prices for all sessions are $25 for an adult and $12 for students and senior citizens. In addition, individual session tickets will be sold for $7 and $5.
Free online video also will be available throughout the tournament at https://www.americaonesports.com/partner_members.asp?id=67. RMAC assistant commissioner Eric Danner and Craig Peterson of Rushville will provide commentary for Saturday evening's championship round.
The 12 western-most NCAA Division II teams on the continent will be involved. The top four finishers in each of the 10 weight classes will advance to the National Championships in Birmingham, Ala., on March 8-9.
Eighteen wrestlers who are among the top eight in their weight classes in the latest Wrestling Coaches Association rankings will be among the participants.
"It will be a great tournament," Chadron State interim head coach Brett Hunter said. "There will be lots of great wrestlers, and I'm not talking about just the guys who are ranked. There are always some people who come out of the woodwork and upset guys you never expected them to beat.
"Every team seems to have at least a couple of wrestlers who can win it all if they catch fire. Wrestling is a sport where almost nothing is cut and dried."
This year's tournament has something that's about the same as usual, but also different.
Nebraska-Kearney, which has won nine of the last 11 regional championships and is the reigning national champion, is no longer in the RMAC. However, the Lopers are still assigned to the Super Region 4 Tournament and will be the odds-on favorite to win another title.
Two other teams in the tourney-Fort Hays State of Kansas and Simon Fraser University located at Burnaby, British Columbia-also are not RMAC members. In addition, Grand Canyon University of Phoenix and San Francisco State University are affiliated with the RMAC only for wrestling.
The remainder of the schools-Adams State, Colorado Mesa, Colorado Mines, Colorado State-Pueblo, New Mexico Highlands, Western State Colorado and Chadron State-are RMAC members in all their sports.
The highest placing RMAC team in the regional tourney will be declared the conference's tournament champion. But if a member of one of the three non-RMAC teams wins a weight class, no more matches will take place to determine a conference champion at that weight.
Kearney is seventh in the latest national team rankings and has five nationally ranked wrestlers, the most of any of the teams in the tourney. Even though it has no one on the national list, Colorado Mesa is 14th in the national team standings, followed by Grand Canyon at 19th and Fort Hays State at 20th.
In addition, Adams State vaulted into 11th place the final week of the season and Western State also received votes, but did not crack the top 20.
Both Grand Canyon and Adams State have three ranked wrestlers. Fort Hays, San Francisco and Western State have two and CSU-Pueblo has one-Jesse Hillhouse, the No. 1 rated 125-pounder.
The other No. 1 ranked wrestler is Kearney's Raufeon Stots, the defending national champ at 149 pounds. Stots lost to Grand Canyon's Bobby Ward 4-3 at that weight at the regional tourney last year. Ward is now ranked eighth.
None of the other wrestlers who will be competing in Chadron this weekend has a No. 1 ranking, although Kyle McCrite of Grand Canyon is second at 125. Also ranked second are Chase White of UNK at 157 and Elliot Copeland of Western State at 174.
Hillhouse was the Super 4 Region's 133-pound champion last year, but did not place at the national tournament and dropped down to 125 this year. Meanwhile, McCrite was second at the 2012 regional tourney and then won the 125-pound national championship.
Since joining the RMAC and NCAA in 1990, Chadron State has had 16 regional champions. The last one was Hunter in 2008. He also was the regional winner in 2006 and went on to win national titles both years.
The Eagles have had just one national tournament qualifier each of the past two years. He is Jordan Debus, a 184-pound junior who finished fourth in that weight class both years. Debus has a 16-10 record this season.
Just one 184-pounder in the region, Kyle Piat of Western State, is ranked this year and he's No. 8. However, Hunter said 184 may have the most depth of any of the weights at this year's tourney. He said nine entries appear to have a shot at the title.
The Chadron State coach believes several Eagles have a chance to qualify for nationals this weekend, but noted each of them will have to be at his best to reach that goal.
In addition to Debus, Chadron State's other wrestlers are Jace Johnson (6-14) at 125, Perry McAfee (14-8) at 133, Josh McCance (8-11) at 141, Reed Burgener (5-17) at 149, Bruce Zurek (5-13) at 157, Dylan Fors (11-10) at 165, Bret Klopp (4-4) at 174, Chris Leak (15-11) at 197 and Mike Hill (21-9) at 285.
"We're hoping for a big turnout to help cheer our guys on," Hunter said. "I can guarantee that there'll be some great wrestling taking place."

After playing in just three games as a rookie last season, Bears CB D.J. Moore earned the starting nickel back job this year and didn't waste much time making a big impact, intercepting two Tony Romo passes in the Bears' Week Two win over the Cowboys.
PFW spoke with Moore earlier this week at Halas Hall and asked him to grade his performance in the first quarter of the season. We also found out which of his teammates he admires the most.
PFW: What grade would give yourself for the first quarter of the season?
Moore: Probably about a C-plus. You can always improve or whatever. If you're giving yourself a B or an A, you're getting too high on yourself. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. You want to be way above average. Your pockets get real thick when that happens.
PFW: Which of your teammates do you admire the most?
Moore: Nick Roach. Last year he was starting and the year before that (he started nine games). He really doesn't say too much, but he does his job. He was starting before he (injured his hamstring this year). He just comes out and does what he needs to do. I'd have been (ticked) off (to lose a starting job).
PFW: What kind of music do you listen to before a game?
Moore: Probably a little gospel. I don't take my music (out on the field during pregame). But if I did, maybe (it would be) rap. Something to get you a little amped up. I like this song by Marvin Sapp. It's called "The Best In Me."

Unofficial car-sharing on edge of Winchester to stop after new restrictions agreed (From Hampshire Chronicle)

Unofficial car-sharing on edge of Winchester to stop after new restrictions agreed
7:00am Saturday 16th February 2013 in Winchester
WINCHESTER civic chiefs have taken action to stop unofficial car-sharing at the Hockley Viaduct near Winchester.
Commuters have been parking at the lay-by on Hockley Link, next to the Hockley Viaduct, and sharing cars onto work.
Leaving their cars all day has clogged up the layby and deprived other drivers of a space or people wanting to visit the viaduct or the riverside walk along the Itchen.
A city council report said commuters can easily use the South Winchester Park and Ride only a couple of hundred yards away.
Cllr Vicki Weston, the portfolio holder for planning and transport, has agreed a four-hour waiting limit with no return for eight hours, Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm, to stop the commuter use.

Instead of making such initiatives difficult why not encourage them and increase the parking space available?

What exactly is the problem with "unofficial" car sharing? Surely this should be promoted as it reduces the number of vehicles on the road at rush hour. Oh! Of course - the council isn't making any money out of it.
Instead of making such initiatives difficult why not encourage them and increase the parking space available?
The Council is clearly trying to prevent people clogging up the lay bys by parking there all day rather than prevent car sharing.

It is a real problem because legitimate walkers who want to park in Hockley Link cannot find spaces on a week day.
There should be a special car share rate for the park and ride car park, though, to encourage people to use that space.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – They never stop keeping score in college basketball. Not on the scoreboard. Not in facilities. Not in attendance.
Not even after the NCAA Tournament is over, the confetti has been swept away and the trophy is on its way to a campus location, which currently is Lexington, Ky.
Kentucky won the 2012 NCAA title by dispatching Kansas less than three months ago.
The Wildcats won again Thursday night in Newark, N.J. when six Kentucky players were selected in the 2012 NBA Draft. Make that six of the first 46 picks.
Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist went first and second. That's a record.
It didn't happen at UCLA, not even when the Bruins had Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) or Bill Walton, and John Wooden was plucking the best recruits from across America
It didn't happen at North Carolina, not even when the Tar Heels had Michael Jordan or James Worthy, and Dean Smith was dominating the Atlantic Coast Conference.
It didn't happen at Duke, not even when the Blue Devils had Christian Laettner (insert boos here) or Grant Hill, and Mike Krzyzewski was beginning the grind toward four NCAA championships.
Terrence Jones (18th, Houston) and Marquis Teague (29th, Chicago) joined them in the first round. North Carolina also had four first-round picks Thursday.
The Wildcats separated themselves from the Tar Heels in the second round.
But as the Classes of 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 (had to stop somewhere) begin sorting through their college basketball choices, here are the numbers that illuminate the astounding string of talent that has moved through Lexington.
Program With the Most First-Round Picks the Last Three Seasons? Kentucky with 10 (I don't count Enes Kanter. He never played one second for UK.)
That's double North Carolina, Texas and Kansas, the programs in second place.
Program with the Most First-Round Picks the Last Five Seasons? Kentucky with 10.
North Carolina has eight, Kansas seven and Texas six.
If you rewind it for eight seasons, you can uncover a program with more first-rounders than Kentucky. That would be North Carolina.
If you start with the 2005 season, the Tar Heels have 13, two more than Kentucky, which had Rajon Rondo drafted in the first round in 2006.
Was it a perfect night for Kentucky?
No. I'm certain that John Calipari is convinced he can make it better.
The Wildcats had five guys taken in the first round two years ago. Calipari joked about having six first-rounders this season. When Davis (New Orleans) and Kidd-Gilchrist (Charlotte) gave Kentucky the first two picks, you wondered if this night would be greater than the one that John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton delivered in 2010.
Terrence Jones was drafted 18th by Houston, where he will play with Patterson. Jones started last season as a national player of the year candidate and a potential top five pick. It's one reason he returned to UK.
Part of his reward for sacrificing for this Kentucky team was a national title. But his sacrifice also cost him money because he tumbled in this draft.
Marquis Teague lasted until the next-to-last pick in the first round. It's not as alarming as it sounds. Teague was taken by the Chicago Bulls. Derrick Rose plays point guard for the Bulls. He won the 2011 MVP. But Rose tore a knee ligament during the playoffs. Teague can go to Chicago and play. Immediately.
Doron Lamb and Darius Miller have work to do. Lamb landed 12 spots outside the first round with Milwaukee at 42. Second-round picks are not given guaranteed contracts. He'll have to play his way onto that team.
Ditto for Miller. But his situation is better than Lamb's. Why? Miller went to New Orleans. The Hornets need players. They are trying to create a culture of team players. Darius Miller is a team player, who will continue to enjoy the benefit of playing with Anthony Davis.
NBA Draft Night wasn't a perfect night for Kentucky basketball. But it was close enough.

'Street Scene' takes look at hard life
February 07, 2012
A gritty look at life in an immigrant neighborhood in New York in 1946 will come to life as the Bryan College Opera Theatre presents Kurt Weill's "Street Scene" on Saturday, February 25.
The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Rudd Auditorium, and there is no admission charge.
From left, Caitlin Hawkins, Kelly Miller, and Randy Bright rehearse
a scene from 'Street Scene.'
The opera focuses on the Maurrant family – a mother, father and two children – and their neighbors. The father "isn't the nicest husband in the way he talks to his wife and doesn't support her," Mrs. Keck said. "He expects her to raise the children and keep everything perfect at home, but she can't because they are poor."
As it tells a dark story, it offers a cautionary tale, she said. "The more I've studied it, the more my heart is broke for our world. It makes you realize how many people are struggling in situations like this, and what a difference Jesus Christ could make in their lives."
From left, Natalie Hughes, Mariana Sterne, and Alexis Landry
pass along some neighborhood gossip.
Randy Bright and Caitlin Hawkins, both seniors from Knoxville, will sing the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Maurrant. Kelly Miller, a senior from Barrington, Ill., and Michael Keck, a seventh grader from Dayton, will play their children, Rose and Willy. Matt Albin, a senior from Wright, Wy., will play Sam Kaplan, Rose's love interest. Alexis Landry, a junior from Appomattox, Va., Natalie Hughes, a junior from Chattanooga, and Mariana Sterne, a junior from Alexandria, Va., will sing the roles of Mrs. Olsen, Mrs. Fiorentino, and Mrs. Jones, the neighborhood gossips.
For this first full-length opera production, Sally Powell of Dayton is the accompanist, and the set is designed by Assistant Professor and Theatre Fellow Jared Cole.

Mexico | Despite opposition, loyalists continue to spread América brand
"Everyone in Mexico wants to be a soccer player, like a pro soccer player," says Adolfo Carrillo, a 32-year-old produce seller from Forest Park, Georgia. "It's a dream. It never comes true sometimes. … People in Mexico, they don't have too much money to spend. They got the time, but they don't have the money. … When I was a kid, like everyone, like every child in the world, I wanted to be a pro."
The Mexican contribution to soccer's resilience among gringos in America has been untold. It speaks volumes that the four-team preseason event could be called the World Football Challenge. And when Georgia Dome officials passed word that attendance exceeded 50,000, no one batted an eye. Fútbol had arrived in Atlanta, not for the first time.

MSU Soccer Field
Home to the Mississippi State women's soccer team since 1995, the Mississippi State Soccer Field gives the Bulldogs one of the finest playing surfaces in the Southeast.
Located on the north side of the Mississippi State University campus, the MSU Soccer Field is situated in the heart of the University's impressive physical plant. It joins W.O. Spencer Stadium (track and field), Dudy-Noble Field/Polk Dement Stadium (baseball), the MSU Softball Field and the A.J. Pitts Tennis Centre to give Mississippi State one of the finest Olympic sport venues in collegiate athletics.
The facility features a main grandstand area which accommodates more than 500 people with opportunities for expansion in the future.
The MSU Soccer Field will unveil its newest addition, a state-of-the-art scoreboard and video board, when the Bulldogs kick-off the 2009 campaign on Aug. 23. The newest addition, which will rank among one of the finest in the Southeastern Conference, includes an LED-based scoreboard display and advertising spaces surrounding a 15'x10' video board.
The new scoreboard comes a year after the program debuted a 2,600 square-foot brick facility which houses a concession stand, men's and women's restrooms and a spacious press box.
The press facility is divided into four separate work areas, with each equipped with hi-speed internet and telephone access. It is also setup to accommodate television and team video personnel. The MSU Soccer Field also includes covered dugouts for participating teams.
Hailed as one of the top playing surfaces in the Southeastern Conference, the field stretches 114 yards long and 72 yards wide. The regulation NCAA Championship field features Mississippi Pride grass - developed by researchers on the Mississippi State campus - making it home to one of the finest playing surfaces in the country. A grounds crew, supervised by groundskeeper Bart Prather, is responsible for the field maintenance of the Mississippi State Soccer Field.
To reflect the strong commitment to constant improvement on the field, the Mississippi State locker facilities have undergone a drastic renovation over the course of the past three years. Custom-made wooden lockers complete with spacious storage areas, along with a 52" color television and brand new carpets, have been installed to give the facility a championship feel.
Lights were added just after the conclusion of the 2002 campaign, equipping the facility for evening competition and giving it an added amenity that can only translate into better atmospheres.
In its 14 seasons at the MSU Soccer Field, the Mississippi State women's program has posted a 58-64-8 (.492) overall record and, in 1996, tallied a program-best 12-2 record at home, including a 9-0 mark against non-conference foes. Mississippi State has also shut out its opponent 33 times in front of its home fans.
The program's improvement can be felt with the size of the home crowds as well. In 2004, Mississippi State established a new program high for average and total attendance as a program-high 4,411 fans made their way to 10 Bulldog home dates (441 avg.). Of the top 10 MSU Soccer Field attendance marks, seven were set over the course of the past six seasons, including a standing-room-only crowd of 743 that witnessed MSU's double overtime victory over Auburn on regional television in 2001. In 2007, the ninth-largest crowd in facility history witnessed the Bulldogs' 3-1 win over Alabama, while the third-most fans in school annals (673) cheered MSU in it's 2008 season-opening win over Mississippi Valley State.
Mississippi State will play host to eight matches during the 2009 campaign, including five Southeastern Conference match ups.
The Bulldogs will also play host to a very attractive non-conference schedule that opens Aug. 23 with defending Southwestern Athletic Conference champion Mississippi Valley State. The pre-conference slate also includes matches against Troy and East Tennessee State.

Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig cover Empire magazine. In this photo, Mara takes a subservient position to Craig (again), as opposed to the Swedish poster. Consider the power dynamics: squatting vs. being on one's knees and standing vs. sitting.
Empire proudly takes credit as the only magazine allowed on set. What did David Fincher say about anti-hero Lisbeth Salander? Here's a taste below:
"There were discussions early on where people were like, 'She's a superhero!' And you go, 'No, she's not. Superheroes live in a world of good and evil, and she's far more complex than a superhero. She's been compromised. She's been subjugated. She's been marginalized. She's been swept into the gutter and she's had a part in it. She dresses like trash because she's someone who has been betrayed and hurt so badly, by forces beyond her control, that she's just decided to be refuse. She can sit anywhere she wants on the bus, because nobody wants to deal with her."

Nah, I had the exact same thought as Anne did when I saw it.

Can I just say: what the fuck, Anne. It's amazing to me that someone can look at that and think she looks remotely subservient or dominated. It's not that kind of relationship. They both look at ease with each other. They are after all partners.

The Herald Bulletin
Though "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is beautifully shot and the effects are perfectly rendered, the third film in the franchise once again fails to be more than meets the eye.
BACKGROUND: The Transformers began life in the mid-1980s as a Hasbro toy line centered on two warring factions of alien robots, the Autobots and Decepticons.
The first live-action Transformers feature film, directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg, debuted on July 3, 2007. The movie, starring Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Josh Duhamel, grossed $70 million its opening weekend and raked in $709 million during its worldwide run.
The first film's success quickly led to a sequel, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," which debuted on June 24, 2009. Despite receiving a critical lashing, the sequel surpassed its predecessor's opening weekend ($108 million) and international total ($836 million).
Which brings us to "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." Bay and Spielberg are back again. So are LaBeouf and Duhamel. But Fox is gone, replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The film opened Wednesday and earned $13.5 million in midnight screenings.
SYNOPSIS: Having saved the world from the Decipticons yet again, the Autobots have earned the trust of the American government and continue to assist humanity in resolving its conflicts. But when the Autobots learn that humans weren't totally forthcoming with how much they knew about the alien machines, the Autobots race to the moon — where, in the 1960s, Americans discovered a crashed ship from Cybertron, the Transformers' home planet. And the Decepticons are hot on their tailpipes.
THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY: This franchise is built on the images of vehicles transforming into giant robots and then battling other giant transforming robots. If that's what you want, that's what you'll get plenty of in "Dark of the Moon." And you'll enjoy the heck of it.
The action sequences are intense and masterfully executed. The robots are one with the scenery, even if it's a major U.S. city. And it's easier to tell the good guys from the bad guys, something that was difficult in the previous two films.
All the stunning beauty of the battles almost makes up for inept storytelling. Almost.
It's as though "Transformers" can't decide what kind of film it wants to be. On one hand, you have an effects-driven action flick. On the other, you want moviegoers to care about Sam's new girlfriend and inability to find a job.
Here, the two things don't mesh well. An action bent would have been more cohesive ... and it wouldn't have taken 90 minutes to get to the good stuff.
THE FINAL SCORE: While filled with a cavalcade of mind-blowing effects, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" once again relies on those effects to make you forget the movie is supposed to be telling a story — and a better one than the first hour is mired by.
That being said, it's perfect for children who loved the first two films (though parents may want to exercise caution with kids sensitive to violence) and adults looking for a film they don't have to think through.
EXTRAS: Several big league guest stars have secondary roles in the film, including Alan Tudyk, Ken Jeong and John Malkovich.

Clovis reports positive results for cancer drug
Last Updated: 12:52 March 28, 2014
Boulder-based Clovis (Nasdaq: CLVS) reported Thursday from a conference in Geneva, Switzerland, that its orally delivered drug, CO-1686, is providing benefits to patients suffering from lung cancer and is being well-tolerated as doses are increased.
One of 62 patients treated at therapeutic doses of CO-1686 discontinued the trial because of adverse events. The most common adverse events were hyperglycemia, nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite and vomiting.
"CO-1686 provides meaningful and long-term benefit for patients who until now have had limited, if any, options," said Jean-Charles Soria, the European lead investigator for the study of CO-1686. "I am very enthusiastic about participating in the continued development of this agent." Soria is a professor of Medicine and Medical Oncology at Paris University XI and cancer specialist at the Gustave Roussy Institute.
Patrick J. Mahaffy, president and chief executive of Clovis, said, "One of the issues with oncogene-targeted therapies is that while initial response rates can be promising, these responses can be short-lived. In contrast, as CO-1686 Phase 1 data extend and mature, we see both a consistency of response rate that is very encouraging as well as an impressive initial duration of clinical benefit." Oncogene is a gene that normally directs cell growth. If altered, an oncogene can promote or allow the uncontrolled growth of cancer. Alterations can be inherited or caused by an environmental exposure to carcinogens.
Mahaffy said patients in general benefit from, and stay on, CO-1686 for a prolonged period of time.
"We are pleased that we can deliver this long-term benefit with very good tolerability. ... We are increasingly optimistic about the potential of CO-1686 not only to deliver impressive response rates, but also meaningful progression-free survival in both first- and second-line patients."
The Phase 1 dose-escalation portion of the study is being conducted in the United States, France and Australia. Approximately 100 patients have been treated with CO-1686 to date, with results from the first 62 patients being delivered at the conference.

Experts agree that getting rid of blight can promote economic development, and that's why Jackson officials are pushing to clean up the Capital City.
We have a special look at some new measures being proposed to force property owners to be responsible and what you can do to get something done about that nuisance property in your community in this Taking Back Our Neighborhoods report.
Since 2009, 3 On Your Side has been trying to help you take back your neighborhood, and the before and after images prove there has been success, but there's still plenty to be done.
"The numbers are starting to drop," said Kenneth Taylor. "It's still a huge number, but they are starting to drop."
Taylor, deputy director of code enforcement for the City of Jackson, said there are 512 cases pending and 344 of those are demolitions. He said there are at least a thousand weed and grass calls every year.
"We have 8 code enforcement officers and we respond to every complaint that's registered with us," said Taylor. "It may not happen that day, but we're gonna get to it within 24-to-48 hours."
The frustration for neighborhoods comes with a, usually, three month wait while the nuisance complaint goes through city council, then environmental court and finally action.
"We do have budget constraints," added Taylor. "We are allocated money for demolition, but it's up to the owner to maintain their property. We only step in when they don't."
But that tedious process could be trimmed down dramatically if Ward 6 Jackson City Councilman, Tony Yarber has his way. He's discovered the city, legally, doesn't have to wait that long and can, for example, trim overgrown lots up to six times during the growing season and, he said, the city has the money to do it.
"Only thing we have to do is just give notice up to seven days," said Yarber.
Yarber also has a proposal for people who just don't care and chronically neglect their property.
"Those are people who, in my mind, have become actual criminals and in those cases, we think it would be benefiting that our community improvement bring those cases before a judge as a criminal offense," said Yarber.
Yarber says the judge could then sentence the offender to clean up, not only their property, but any other nuisance property assigned to them, instead of doing jail time.
Also, there is a quote process used in doling out clean-up cases to contractors now. Councilman Yarber said that selected system has created a bottleneck.
"We're looking at the possibility of creating some kind of a rotation system, Yarber added."
So, what can you do, personally, to get some action on cleaning up blight in your neighborhood?
"There are two ways they can contact us," said Taylor. "They can contact us by 311, dialing 311 or they can go on line and get on 311 or they can actually call and talk to someone if they would dial 601-960-1054, that would be community improvement office."
But, both Taylor and Councilman Yarber agree the best thing you can do is get involved.
"I'm definitely going to tell citizens to get active in the neighborhood associations," said Yarber. "If you don't have one, you need to create one."
Yarber also suggests you file a civil suit, as a neighborhood association, against a negligent property owner in your community.

My husband surprised me with a trip to NC and a four night stay at the Foxbern Manor just outside of New Bern, NC. This B&B was absolutely the best! It's in a beautiful country setting with horses, birds and a quite atmosphere. It is closely (10 mins) located to New Bern and the Central Coast beaches are only 45-60... More

DETROIT -- Between the meteoric rise of Denny McLain and the year-in, year-out consistency of Mickey Lolich, Earl Wilson sometimes can be forgotten in the Tigers' pitching greatness of the late 1960s. Yet without the addition of the veteran hurler from Boston in 1966, the Tigers might never have made their charge to the 1968 World Series.
"I remember facing him with Boston, and I thought he was very tough," Hall of Famer Al Kaline said. "And then all of a sudden when we got him, he was a big part of our ballclub for quite a few years -- not only as a pitcher, but also as a hitter."
Wilson's family will be presented with the Detroit Tigers African American Legacy Award prior to Sunday's game against the Pirates at Comerica Park.
Wilson made history as Boston's first African-American pitcher in 1959, and he won 12 games in his first full season in the Red Sox rotation three years later. His next three seasons reflected the Red Sox as a whole -- he just under .500 but putting his game together under the microscope of being an African-American pitcher with one of the last teams to integrate.
After the Red Sox moved their Spring Training home in 1966 to Winter Haven, Fla., an incident at a bar in nearby Lakeland, where a bartender refused to serve him, became a major story. Finally, midway through the '66 season, Tigers general manager Jim Campbell swung a deal for him, snagging the big right-hander for versatile outfielder Don Demeter.
Demeter had a decent stretch run in Boston, but was done after the 1967 season. Wilson, meanwhile, was on the verge of a breakout. With a Tigers rotation centered around a 22-year-old McLain and a 25-year-old Lolich, the 31-year-old Wilson brought a veteran presence and an aggressive style of pitching.
He won 13 out of his 23 Tigers starts in 1966, averaged better than seven innings a game, and allowed just 126 hits over 163 1/3 innings. He couldn't save the Tigers from a midseason collapse, but he set the stage for their rise over the next two years.
"I just think he got a chance to play," Kaline said. "He went into a different type ballpark than Fenway Park and he had that good slider, was able to keep the ball away from the hitters. And he was very tough on the mound.
"He was one of those very competitive guys that would throw the ball inside. I remember one time I faced him, and I told him this many times: Usually when a guy knocks me down, they always went away with the next pitch. And he was one of the first ones that threw two of them in there."
Wilson picked up where he left off by leading the AL with 22 wins in 1967, pacing the Tigers in a pennant race until the season's final weekend. He fell to 13-12 in 1968, but his 2.85 ERA was the best full-season number of his career. Detroit won seven games in which Wilson picked up a no-decision for a start.
Wilson went 64-45 with a 3.18 ERA as a Tiger. He was a Michigander until his death in 2005 at age 70.
"Earl was one of those guys that actually stayed in Michigan," Kaline said. "He got in business and was very successful. He meant a lot, not only to the Tigers, but to the whole community."

Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month.

Apple-Cinnamon Bundt Cake
If you like, coat your Bundt pan with cooking spray just before filling it with the batter to ensure that the cake will release easily from the pan.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons water
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in dry ingredients just until combined (do not overmix). Using a rubber spatula, fold in apples. Spoon batter into a 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan, and smooth top. Bake until a tester inserted in cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 15 minutes; invert onto rack to cool completely.
Step 3
Make the Glaze: Whisk together confectioners' sugar and enough water to form a thick yet pourable glaze. Set rack with cake over a piece of wax paper (for easy cleanup); drizzle cake with glaze, and let set before serving.

Made this for Thanksgiving 2013. I shredded the apples and didn't worry (mixed up much like zucchini bread, thick). Baked up perfectly and the glaze was just sweet enough. Everyone enjoyed this fresh, autumnal cake.
ChalDhannu9 Nov, 2013
what an awkward and clumpsy cake to make. Didn't anyone experience mixing the sliced apples was hard!! It would have been nice if it said cut it into chunks. Mixing would have been much easier.

Ines M19 Mar, 2013
Very easy, simple with a spectacular flavor. Recommended. Try to put the apples with batter at the bottom of the pan.
Diane FR14 Feb, 2013
Really nice recipe. Just slice the apples thinly. Add more cinnamon in the batter recipe and lemon or or orange zest in the icing.
kaldridge221 Oct, 2012
This was an easy recipe and I was able to make it with my four year old after I cut up the apples. Tastes good and is quite moist.
fleurcc27 May, 2012
This turned out really well! I did read reviews and grated 4 apples instead of 6 chunky. Delicious!
Monaaa24 Sep, 2010
it is really delicious, i tried it and followed the instructions in ( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8711657338615658833# ) and it was wonderful just as it is . my kids and my family asked me to do it so many times and there is no worry at all about the 6 apples , on the contrary they make the cake icy especially after putting it in the refregirator for 1 night. follow the video and enjoy it.
VernaB21 Sep, 2010
This was dellicious! The second time I made 2 changes: first, I stirred 1/2 cup chopped walnuts into the batter; and second, I used apple juice instead of water for the glaze. Yum!!!
Lukiebear19 Sep, 2010
my icing looked great...wished i could send a picture of it.....
Lukiebear19 Sep, 2010
Just made it..so easy and delicious...it was a lot of apples but it was not too much...i did use dark br sugar....my husband loved it...just wished i had a little vanilla ice cream to go with it..
belle862018 Sep, 2010
I agree that the 6 apples are too much..I was very disappointed and had to discard the whole cake. Maybe the recipe should say 6 small Granny Apples
LinnyDinny9 Sep, 2010
Two questions for anyone willing to help: 1. 6 apples cuts in 1/4 in slices is a lot of apples, right? felt like the apples took up most of the bundt pan and the cake batter just held it together like glue.
2. did anyone elses icing not stay bright white (like the picture above)? the next day, mine looked more like a glaze than white icing.
itsmarkmitchell21 Feb, 2010
I love this cake. I add raisins and pecans to the batter. After I spray my bundt pan, I sprinkle it with sugar, which makes for an amazing crust. I use fruit juice instead of water, or a little vanilla in my glaze.
CookieMum7 Feb, 2010
My husband and his buddies at work loved this cake. They've requested to have it again in the future. Nice and moist, great flavour. I did add a little extra cinnamon.
zoestar12 Dec, 2008
A big hit at a work brunch. I chopped the apples rather large using one of those core/slice tools... so I had 6-8 apple wedges then cut each wedge into 3-4 chunks. The batter is really thick so it holds the apples in place and they are evenly spaced in the finished cake. It could use a bit more cinnamon or spice... maybe molasses? II work in a nut-free zone but I bet it would be fabulous with walnuts or pecans.
tara20 Nov, 2008
This cake was a hit at the dinner party my girlfriends and I had! It was moist and delicious and very easy to make (even for a beginner baker like myself).
orthochick1 Oct, 2008
I may have been a bit premature with my previous comments. I do agree with cae_021, it was better the next day!
orthochick28 Sep, 2008
I thought the cake was good... very moist and very easy to make. Though, I thought it was lacking something, perhaps some vanilla. To me, it lacked depth of flavor. I'll give it another try with some tweaking.

cae_02120 Dec, 2007
This cake was very delicious. Would be great with Ice Cream, my bundt was a little smaller than the required size (barely 10") so I was a tad worried; 6 apples seem small, but when u chop em up they really go a long way. Initially I was concerned about the amount of sugar (I don't have much of a sweet tooth) but the tartness of the apples balanced that off. Interestingly, it tasted better and better as it aged, it barely lasted 4 days and that was with threatening.

SUZHOU, China, June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroDiag Biomedicine, a leading molecular diagnostic technology inventor based in Suzhou, China, was invited to present a major breakthrough technology developed by the MicroDiag team, a serum circulating DNA mutation detection assay, at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
"We are very proud to be the first Chinese company invited to present research progress at the ASCO annual meeting," said Tao Wang, MD, Founder and Chair of Board of the company. "To detect somatic mutations in the blood remained a challenge for years. We developed a novel assay whose performance is the best ever reported. The technology is expected to change personalized cancer prevention and therapy significantly."
Personalized cancer therapy enables oncologists to choose the most suitable medicine for cancer patients; it is realized through genetic testing which detects genetic mutations and predicts the efficacy and side effects of anticancer drugs. Tumor tissue samples are required for these tests. However, tumor samples are not available for over 50 percent of advanced or metastatic cancer patients. An alternative method is to detect genetic mutations in the blood. Clinical application of blood mutation detection is limited due to poor sensitivity and specificity of currently available technologies.
The technology developed by MicroDiag, named MCA-qASA assay, integrates three major mutation detection techniques - ARMS, HRM and DNA blocker. "Combination of these three techniques produced a surprise, or miracle. We are able to detect as low as 0.01 percent mutated DNA in the blood with high specificity," said Dr. Zongfei Li, leader of the project. Through a preclinical study, the sensitivity and specificity were reported as 80.5 percent and 94.7 percent respectively, the highest ever. The MicroDiag team has initiated collaborations with leading Chinese hospitals for clinical trials. The technology is expected to be commercialized in China in early 2015.
About MicroDiag Biomedicine
MicroDiag Biomedicine, founded in 2008, is a prominent inventor of new technologies for cancer screening and diagnostics. After over five-year growth, the annual income exceeds 20 million CNY (about 3.2 million USD). The company employs over 100 including a R&D team of about 40 scientists. The products of MicroDiag are covers screening, diagnosis, companion diagnosis of cancer and monitoring of cancer metastasis/recurrence. As a research orientated company, MicroDiag holds over 20 Chinese or international patents.

Bank of America's Moynihan Faces Trial Deadline
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan is facing a May 18 deadline to give testimony in a lawsuit brought by MBIA (MBI), an event that will put increasing pressure on the bank to reach a settlement expected to cost some $2 billion, according to an analyst following the legal battle.
MBIA has sued Countrywide Financial, accusing the lender of fraudulently inducing MBIA to insure 15 separate securitizations of residential mortgages sold between 2004-2007. Bank of America acquired Countrywide in 2008.
|Bank of America CEO Moynihan must testify about the bank's integration of Countrywide Financial by May 18
New York State Supreme Court Judge Eileen Bransten ruled last month that Moynihan's testimony is necessary because he oversaw the integration of Countrywide into Bank of America, and MBIA argues Bank of America is liable for Countrywide's alleged fraud.
The judge's ruling states that "the knowledge Moynihan gained as part of the [Countrywide] Steering Committee is unique, and it is material and necessary to MBIA's successor liability claim."BTIG analyst Mark Palmer believes a settlement would likely be worth some $2 billion, and "could literally come at any time." "Bank of America would be acting in a manner that's not in the best interests of its shareholders or its employees if it continued its litigation," Palmer said. Palmer sees Moynihan's scheduled testimony as one of several risks to Bank of America from allowing the litigation to continue. "There's downside from having Moynihan testify on the issue of successor liability and having that information potentially used by others who are suing B of A and also arguing it is liable for Countrywide's actions," Palmer says. Palmer believes Bank of America could see its reserve against mortgage securities it must buy back from investors balloon from its current level of $16 billion to as large as $80-100 billion if litigation with MBIA establishes precedents that can be picked up by other plaintiffs facing off against the bank. Palmer's belief that MBIA can force Bank of America to settle for roughly $2 billion is the key to his "buy" rating on the bond insurer, which is scheduled to report earnings after the close of trading Thursday. Palmer has a $22.50 price target on MBIA versus its close of $9.60 on Monday. A Bank of America spokesman declined to comment. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York. Follow this writer on Twitter.

In 1992, two college roomates began a quest. Unsatisfied with the fit and look of baseball caps back then, they decided to design the ideal cap themselves. It had to fit just right, be built to last, and look sweet. Out of this quest, Legacy was born and went on to become the cap of choice for people everywhere seeking the "vintage casual" look with an ultra-comfortable fit.

Our midships verandah suite was spotless with a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for our arrival. Our stewardess was a young English girl who was very nice and looked after us well. Well done Emma. thank god - no towel animals.
we did not use the formal restaurant but ate in the Colonnade or had room service. we thought the food was excellent and service equally so. They were all bang on with regard to drink top ups etc - we were extremely well looked after and it was nice that part of their service is that they remember your name. bed linens were high quality and the bed extremely comfortable.
I chose complimentary toiletries by L'Occitane and Molton Brown. I have to think hard to find a downside to this ship, but I will say that the excursions are very expensive and the choice of products in the shop is limited and geared towards the mature American market.
