Michigan State Back On Track After Blowout Of Davidson
Sept. 28, 2007
Davidson, N.C. - Fifth-ranked Michigan State got goals from five different players on Friday night as it recorded a 8-0 victory over Davidson. The Spartans improved to 10-2 with the victory, while the Wildcats fell to 6-4. MSU shutout its opponent for the fifth time this year, and for the third time in four games.
Jantine Steinmetz led the offensive attack for MSU with three goals, while Floor Ripjma and Jeamie Deacon both chipped in with a goal and an assist. "They played with a whole team concept," said Coach Rolf van de Kerkhof. "The drive and dedication they played with resulted in ball possession, creating opportunities, and scoring."
The Spartans came out swinging as they posted six goals in the first half. MSU scored its first goal just 5:22 into the game, as Jantine Steinmetz scored her team-leading 11th goal of the year on an assist from Jeamie Deacon. Just over four minutes later, senior Becky Manning joined in as she one-timed a pass from Floor Ripjma to put MSU up 2-0. Michigan State continued its rout from there, as it scored four more goals in the half, first from Gwen Riley (18:30), her sixth of the year. Jeamie Deacon posted her ninth goal of the year at 29:56 on an assist from Amy Schneider and Charlotte van der Laag, and Steinmetz put one in again at 29:56. Ripjma (35:00) added another as the first-half clock ran out.
The second half was much the same for the Spartans. Joelle van Ierland scored at 40:38, her second this year. Steinmetz continued her dominance and slapped in another goal to bring her season total to 13 and give her a team-leading 27 points.
"The only difference between playing well and playing great is the desire to compete and go all the way," said head coach Van de Kerkhof.
MSU travels to Winston-Salem, N.C. on Sunday, Sept. 30, to take on No. 4 Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons hold a 6-1 edge in the all-time series with Michigan State, with five of those victories by shutout. MSU earned its only win in the series in 2001, a 2-0 decision.

Watford centre-back Essaid Belkalem has been selected in Algeria's 30-man provisional World Cup squad
Updated 5:44pm Monday 12th May 2014 in Latest Sport By Adam Newson
Essaid Belkalem's hopes of travelling to the 2014 World Cup have been boosted as the Hornets centre-back has been selected for Algeria's 30-man provisional squad.
The 25-year-old has only featured ten times for the Golden Boys since signing on loan from fellow Pozzo-owned club Granada last summer.
However, he has 11 caps for this country and started in the first leg of Algeria's successful World Cup play-off against Burkina Faso – a game he was sent off in.
Prior to joining Granada and being loaned to Watford, Belkalem spent five seasons playing for JS Kabylie in the Algerian top flight and featured for his country at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
Algeria will face Belgium, Russia and South Korea in Group H at the World Cup in Brazil and their squad will be reduced to 23 players by June 2.
While Belkalem faces a wait to find out if he has been chosen, Arsenal loanee Chu Young-Park will be heading to Brazil.
The South Korea forward has featured just twice for the Hornets since arriving on loan from the Gunners on January 31.
But despite not playing since February 22, Park has been selected in their 23-man squad.
Algeria provisional squad
Goalkeepers: Izzedine Doukha (USM El-Harrach), Rais M'bolhi (CSKA Sofia), Cedric Si Mohamed (CS Constantine), Mohamed Lamine Zemmamouche (USM Alger)
Defenders: Essaid Belkalem (Watford), Madjid Bougherra (Lekhwlya Club), Liassine Cadamuro (Mallorca), Faouzi Ghoualm (Napoli), Rafik Halliche (academica Coimbra), Nacereddine Khoualed (USM Alger), Aissa Mandi (Stade Reims), Carl Medjani (Valenciennes), Djamel Mesbah (Livorno), Mehdi Mostefa (AC Ajaccio)
Midfielders: Nabil Bentaleb (Tottenham), Ryad Boudebouz (Bastia), Yasine Brahimi (Granada), Adlene Guedioura (Crystal Palace), Amir Karaoui (Entente de Setif), Medhi Lacen (Getafe), Saphir Taider (Inter Milan), Hassan Yebda (Udinese)

Our team has gone through quite a few hardships past few years.As of today the Denver broncos are and have been in rebuilding mode since Mcd was fired. Mcd tried his stupid fa moves and and his stupid playbook whatever it sucked nonetheless.I don't care who the Broncos get in FA or trades this offseason because the culture needs to change we need a team built through good drafting. I would take a team built through the good smart drafting vs. a team consisting of mostly old farts and day of the week.
To be honest, I'm just glad to see football again, at least we have what we are getting now instead of nothing, the Gaffney trade was decent could hurt us or help us we will see, Mcgahee if its true and it seems to be, i"m already happy enough when do these guys start playing i wanna see Denver new defensive toys in action. At least we aren't reading and watching what the NBA will be. We definitely need to sign some guys in FA, that i will not deny, but we don't have to get high profile guys unless and only if we get a steal. I really love EFX's plan her, lay low, and grab the bargain deals, hell thats how i live my life. It's not glamorous, but it works. F**k the pats, Cowboys, Jets, Eagles, and whoever else is spending big in FA, cuz i don't care for most of those castoffs anyway.
I want some homegrown, pure bred broncos from the draft who bleed orange and blue leading our team in five years, not a bunch of vets on their last leg. And the orton or tebow thing, this year it doesn't matter either way, we are still going to be rebuilding next year, if orton stays and wins the qb comp, then we start him so what, if he does phenomenol, keep him in, if he sucks, replace him with tebow and let his ass eat grass at the end of the season. Ok, Thats enough from me, I love the broncos, and i am fine with going through some more losses to get to back to back super bowl championships or more in the future.
We bleed Orange and blue
Loyal No Matter What
Broncos Forever...

1956, East Germany (DEFA), b/w, 81 min.
Dir.: Gerhard
Wolfgang Kohlhaase.
Camera: Wolf Göthe.
Ursula Kahlbaum.
Günter Klück.
Annekathrin Bürger, Ulrich Thein, Uwe-Jens Pape, Erika Dunkelmann, Erich Franz.
VHS-NTSC, English subtitles:
A Berlin Romance is a love story about the seventeen-year-old
Uschi, an East German saleswoman, and Hans, an unemployed auto mechanic from
West Berlin. The city is reflected though their eyes and feelings. The bright shop windows in West Berlin
are much more appealing to Uschi than the plain gray buildings in the East, so
she leaves her parents' house for the West.
Together with her, the audience takes a glance behind the façade of the
West German "economic miracle." In
the end, she returns home to her parents along with Hans, who finds a job and
makes a living in the East.
This film was the second work of director Gerhard Klein and
scriptwriter Wolfgang Kohlhaase after the children's detective story
Alarm in the Circus. Inspired by Italian neo-realist film,
these artists accurately depict the day-to-day life of the divided city. However, the frank images of dreams and
longings of Berlin youth found little support in the Ministry of Film in the
GDR. Among other criticisms, the
film was said to encourage East German youth to search for adventure in West
Germany. Klein and Kohlhaase didn't
let these obstacles get in their way and later filmed the movie
Berlin – Schönhauser Corner (1957),
another realistic Berlin film.
These films are now considered the best and most precise portrayals of the East
Berlin youth scene during the Cold War.
About the Director:
Gerhard Klein was born on May 1, 1920 in Berlin.
Klein was a trained cartoonist with a background in short, popular film. In 1946 he began working for DEFA as a
scriptwriter, and he worked as a member of the short film department. Klein eventually earned a position as an
assistant director. As of 1949 he
worked as a popular science and documentary film director, a position which he
held for many years. Klein died in
1970 at the age of fifty in Berlin.
Major Films:
Alarm im Zirkus (1953), Eine
Berliner Romanze (1956), Der Fall
Gleiwitz (1961), and Berlin um die
Ecke (1965/90)
About the Scriptwriter:
Wolfgang Kohlhaase was born on May 13, 1931 in
Berlin. He
began writing while he was in school in Berlin, and in 1947 he was a volunteer
as well as an editor for a youth newspaper. He also worked for
the FDJ newspaper Junge Welt. He began his
career at DEFA in 1950; by 1952 Kohlhaase was a freelance scriptwriter and

Record-breaking bunting goes on show in York's city centre
Updated 8:21am Monday 4th February 2013 in News
A RECORD-BREAKING line of bunting has gone on show in York.
Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust made history by linking 15,632 pieces stretching for more than 2.3 miles as the finale to the year-long What's Your Goal? drive, designed to raise awareness of the relationship between mental and physical health.
Residents, schools and businesses, including Poppleton Ousebank Primary School, York City Knights and York City FC, were encouraged to make a piece of bunting representing their aim, with more than 1,000 metres of material being amassed.
It is now being displayed throughout February at the Coppergate Shopping Centre.
Centre manager Deb O'Donnell said: "I'm very pleased we have the facilities to display such wonderful and inspirational art, which looks fantastic, and I hope the bunting and the hard work of the NHS Foundation Trust gets the admiration it deserves."

Ice cream maker to list
THE maker of Kremi ice cream, Caribbean Cream, plans to list on the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) Junior Market this year.
The company is aiming to raise funds to expand and modernise processes, increase working capital as well as to increase economies of scale while constantly improving products and services.
Lead broker on the initial public offering (IPO), Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL), says its deadline to file with the JSE is July 10.
Caribbean Cream grew quickly since its start in 2006 to grab 40 per cent of the bulk standard ice cream market, or "the standard three gallon box that your local bike man scoops into cones", according to its CEO Chris Clarke.
"Crazy Jim is the only other big player in this market," he said. "We are available in supermarkets, but not on a wide scale."
The ice cream maker, which manufactures its products in the Kencot area in Kingston, said it doesn't plan to export anytime soon, but Clarke sees significant growth potential in Jamaica.
The company will continue to focus on making standard ice cream, which doesn't have as high a percentage of weight in fat and solids as premium and ultra-premium ice cream, such as Devon House and Haagen-Dazs, or as little air.
It also distributes the Flavorite brand of frozen novelties from Trinidad from its headquarters in Kingston and its distribution plant in Montego Bay, and employs 61 persons.
SSL has partnered with First Caribbean International Bank Jamaica to distribute Caribbean Cream's IPO via its 13 branches islandwide.

Working in purchasing department is a very challenging job. That is because you need to make sure that you carefully source, select and purchase the best materials that you can get to address the different needs of your company. That is why purchasing officers need more time and resources to do these jobs right all the time.
For example, if you are looking for fixture clamps, then you can start by going to your good old yellow pages. But if you only get less contacts after flipping its pages, then you can go online and search for local providers in your area. Still, the internet is the best way to go when it comes to searching for companies that can supply the best materials for most businesses nowadays.

Valdosta - When Tammie Mitchell placed a classified add in the newspaper for her 900 dollar TV and entertainment center, she quickly received feedback.
Many of these were relay calls. "One guy said he was going to email me, he had just moved to the states and he had a boss here that would send me a check," Mitchell said.
When the check came in, it was for 2,200 pounds. That equates to a little over four thousand dollars. "You could actually go and buy this TV and Entertainment Center for less than that. And that's one of the reason's we knew something was wrong," Mitchell exclaimed.
They ignored this buyer and went on to the next. "We ended up getting a cashiers check in the mail. I called the bank on it, the number didn't work. I looked it up on the Internet to get the bank's number and the lady did say it was counterfeit."
The third check she received was counterfeit as well. All three checks were at least two thousand dollars over Tammie's asking price. Although she didn't fall for the scams, she's worried other people might. "I think we have a lot of elderly people who do put their stuff out for sale and their not going to catch it. And a lot of people sell their stuff for money. Here, they're going to be out money."
The Valdosta police department encourages anyone with a similar situation to let them know and question anything that offers you money. "What we're asking people to do is be skeptical. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is," said Captain Brian Childress of the Valdosta Police Department.
Police also recommend that if dealing with a check from an unknown person, wait until the check clears before sending out any merchandise purchased.
As for Tammie, she finally was able to sell her TV to a local buyer.

Even if the Seahawks lose their final game to finish 5-11, they would still have a better record this year than 2008. However, record does not perfectly represent how well a team has played, and lately, the Seahawks have been healthy and horrible. I was curious how the teams compared statistically. This is what I found:
2008: Strength of Schedule ranking (1 being hardest): 19th
2008: DVOA: -21.9% (meaning they were 21.9% worse than an "average" NFL team)
2008: "Estimated Wins": 5.6 (based on how the team played, it deserved to win between 5 and 6 games)
2009: Strength of Schedule ranking: 23rd (currently)
2009: DVOA: -27.4% ("weighted DVOA" is -33%)
2009: "Estimated Wins": 3.5
Keep in mind, this was BEFORE today's 48-10 loss in Green Bay. I already knew we were in the 2nd year of a collapse, however, I was really surprised to see the 2009 team was this bad given they had won 5 games and had been mostly healthy the last two months.

Candidly Speaking: On aliya, Independence Day
04/24/2012 23:34
The past few weeks epitomize the contrasting emotions of sadness and exhilaration which embody the Jewish people.
Man waves Israeli flag in Jerusalem
Photo: Marc Israel Sellem
These events have a particular resonance for those who made aliya from Western countries, and encourage us to reminisce. I hope I will not bore readers by sharing personal musings and a retrospective review as to whether my decision to settle in Israel was vindicated.
I was fortunate to grow up in Australia, a spectacular country with a magnificent quality of life. My parents arrived in Melbourne on one of the last boats to leave Belgium on the eve of the Second World War, and many of my family members perished during the Shoah. I grew up in a religious Zionist household within a thriving, committed Jewish community which was enriched by refugees and survivors from the Shoah and which had a formative impact on my Jewish identity.
After graduating from university I came to Israel, but my aliya was short-lived because my father suddenly passed away, obliging me to return to Melbourne and manage the family business.
Engaged in public Jewish life from my student days, I ultimately assumed leadership of the Australian Jewish community and a global Jewish role as one of the senior heads of the World Jewish Congress.
In my 20s, I was recruited by the late Shaul Avigur, the principal Israeli orchestrating the global campaign to free Soviet Jewry. This dominated my life for many years and involved major international diplomacy including direct relations with leading Soviet officials as well as refuseniks and dissidents.
Despite my arrest and expulsion from the Soviet Union, ironically I was the first Jewish leader invited to return and report on President Gorbachev's glasnost revolution. This led to initiating the first Hebrew song festival and establishing the first Jewish cultural center in Moscow since the Bolshevik Revolution. Witnessing firsthand the miraculous achievements of a few hundred courageous Soviet Jews profoundly reinforced my Zionist outlook.
My Soviet involvement and subsequent collaboration with Israeli authorities in establishing diplomatic relations with China and India led to frequent meetings with Israeli prime ministers and political officials. This obliged me to visit Israel as often as five or six times a year – no mean feat considering Australia's geographical isolation which, prior to direct El Al flights to the Far East, entailed at least 30 hours of travel, backhauling through Europe.
Thus, when my children implemented their Zionist upbringing and began making aliya, my wife and I needed little encouragement to purchase a Jerusalem apartment and divide our time between Australia and Israel. We soon concluded that this arrangement was utterly destabilizing, and sold our home in Australia and made aliya.
This move took place during the euphoric period when many of us were convinced that nothing could undo the "irreversible peace process." But shortly after settling in Jerusalem we found ourselves at the center of the second intifada.
This was a radical culture shock and nerve-racking experience, with suicide bombings being a frequent occurrence, often in close proximity to our home. But we consoled ourselves that we had made the right decision as we visualized life in Australia relying on long-distance telephone calls to maintain contact with our children every time an incident occurred.
Like all olim we endure the frustrations: bureaucracy continues to irritate me; Israeli drivers are among the worst and most stressed in the world; and I still desperately miss Sunday as a day of leisure complementing Shabbat.
I also soon realized that referring to Israelis and Diaspora Jews as one people was somewhat simplistic. There are strong ties between Diaspora Jewry and Israel and yes, Jewish identity is primarily based on Israel, but our lifestyles are totally different.
FOR OTHER than the most committed Jews, being Jewish in the Diaspora is somewhat incidental. Israeli Jews, including those devoid of traditional values, live in a pulsating Jewish state in which the Hebrew language, culture and the national holidays create a unique Jewish lifestyle, which Diaspora Jews can never experience.
It is impossible to ever become bored in Israel. Travelling on a bus or a train one rarely sees an Israeli instinctively turn to the back of the newspaper to see the most recent sports results before catching up on the latest news. The reality is that Israelis, confronted with the burning issues facing us, cannot appreciate the relaxed environment of life in the Diaspora.
Additionally, while 18- to 20-year-old Jewish students in the Diaspora are enjoying the best years of their lives in universities, their Israeli counterparts are serving in the IDF, many facing life threatening experiences. No Diaspora Jew can appreciate the tension borne by Israeli parents and families when their sons serve in combat units.
Thus, when meeting friends with whom we had grown up, we frequently discover that we no longer share the same world outlook and that our priorities in life have irrevocably changed.
While not anticipating imminent mass aliya from Western countries, the exponential growth of anti- Semitism in Europe will undoubtedly encourage more aliya from those who do not wish to see their children live in societies that treat them as pariahs. Undoubtedly, many will settle here and an ever-growing proportion of world Jewry will be domiciled in Israel.
However, despite assimilation and anti-Semitism, large numbers of Jews will always remain in the Diaspora, especially in strong Jewish communities of North America. We must respect them and encourage them to strengthen their Jewish identity.
Diaspora Jews remain our most important ally and have frequently made major contributions toward strengthening our relationships with their host governments. We Israelis can glean enormous benefit by tapping into the rich range of intellectual, cultural, economic and political talent they represent. Indeed, some of them have proven more adept at promoting our case to the world than our own representatives.
My advice to committed Jews residing in more enlightened countries like the US, Canada and Australia who are seriously contemplating aliya – if you can afford to make the move, it is worth the effort, because nothing can remotely match the fulfillment of Jewish life experienced by living in Israel.
And in a Jewish state where children automatically receive a Jewish education, you are far more likely to maintain Jewish continuity than in the Diaspora where there is no immunity to the ravages of assimilation and intermarriage.
When my wife and I review our aliya, we say with considerable pride and satisfaction that we have never, even momentarily, regretted our decision – notwithstanding the trials and tribulations we endured like all Israelis, and despite the unanticipated threats that challenge us today. In fact, as we look back, our sole regret is that we failed to come much earlier.

Week One in the books.
As suggested by SteelerMessican the score will be derived from the difference in prediction of each teams score combined.
For example: The Denver game was 31 - 19 Broncos. I picked 27 - 24 Steelers. My Steelers score was 8 points off (27>19) and my Denver score was 7 points (24 > 31) therefore I scored 15 points.
Every person who is brave enough to pick against the Steelers and get it right gets a consolation point also.
Sorry to Broncos fans that picked scores, but you are not included as I do not expect you to play the game every week.
Congratulations to the following:
1st=: NCSteeler - 4 points
1st=: AV23 - 4 points
3rd: SteelCityRoller - 3 points
4th: LifeLongSteelerFan - 1 point
Well done to each NCSteeler, AV23 who were 8 points off the score in total each, awarding themselves 3 points, pls scoring an extra point by correctly picking the Broncos.
In 3rd place was SteelCityRoller, whos margin was 11 points, earning himself 2 points for second place plus a bonus for picking the Broncos.
Finally, coming in at 4th place to round out the leaderboard for Week One was LifeLongSteelerFan with a 13 point margin, earning himself 1 point and a place in this weeks top predictors.
It is late and I am tired, so if I have missed anyone who thinks they earned points, let me know and I will double check in the morning.
Now, Week Two the Steelers look to get back on track against the New York Jets in their 2012 Home Opener.
Predict your scores below ladies and gentlemen.

A south Fort Myers woman says a friend she was trying to help stole from her. She discovered the theft of two precious rings on Christmas day.
"I nearly collapsed, I started crying. I couldn't stop crying," said the victim, who did not want to be identified.
The 87-year-old discovered the theft Christmas morning.
"I rather would cut my finger off then give those rings away," she said.
Two rings, including her engagement ring, were missing.
She suspected the only man that has been in her home. He's an old friend she paid to help her out.
"He says, 'Oh I help you out.' And he was pretty good in yard work. He really cleaned it up," she said.
According to sheriff's office reports, Cody Alan Welch sold one of the rings at International Diamond Exchange South, off US 41.
Welch was arrested and charged with theft and pawning a stolen item.
"Unfortunately you do see this from time to time," said manager Lorenzo Klein.
Klein says of the nearly 700 transactions at his shop each month, one or two turn out to be things that were stolen.
He says Welch only sold him the one ring, but the one-carat diamond was missing from the ring.
"They're going sell one here one there two in another county," said Klein.
The woman had to pay $85 to get her ring back, which is how much Welch allegedly got for it.
The victim doesn't know if deputies will ever find the diamond, or her engagement ring.
"Don't trust anybody, even if you know you know them," the victim said.

Row over future of Oxenhope village toilets
2:00pm Friday 21st March 2014 in News
A senior councillor has been accused of having double standards in a row about saving toilets from closure.
A leaflet delivered to homes in Oxenhope, which highlighted the efforts of Conservatives to keep the threatened Haworth Central Park toilets, has exasperated local parish councillors.
At their latest meeting they accused Worth Valley district Conservative councillor Glen Miller - their guest speaker - of double standards.
Chairman Coun Neal Cameron told him: "Your intention was always to get the Oxenhope toilets closed. We made it very clear that we wished to run these toilets ourselves."
Coun Miller said the toilets in Lowertown, which were sold to a private buyer in 2011, were little used, costly to maintain and attracted anti-social behaviour.
He said: "My job is to represent everybody. You obviously didn't do enough to make your intentions for the toilets clear."

Dawson-- Racially-motivated killings from the civil rights era may soon see justice. The FBI is re-opening a dozen cold cases from the 50's and 60's and they may add other cases to their list. That includes three here in South Georgia. One family hopes to get some closure from the wrongs of decades gone by.
Newspaper articles show black and white headlines of death and violence in Dawson during the civil rights era. But Odell Williams saw it all in color.
"It was about 11:30, Saturday night," said Williams. It's a night in 1958 Williams will never forget.
"We heard two shots and I jumped up and went to the back door to see where the shots came from and I saw two flashlights," said Williams. He followed those lights. They led to two police officers and one sad discovery.
"He went to point down and I looked down and I was standing straddling Willie's head," said Williams. On the ground was his cousin, Willie Countryman or Woody as he was often called. "I said what happened? And they could never tell me what happened," said Williams.
The Southern Poverty Law Center says what happened was a racially motivated murder. Countryman was shot and killed by Police officer W.B. Cherry in his own yard. Cherry claimed self-defense and was cleared. "We went to Macon for the hearing and they said we didn't have enough evidence," said Williams.
Years later, it's evident that the family is still suspicious of the shooting death. Countryman's cousin Rebecca Humphrey still wonders what really happened that night.
"I wonder why did he get killed by the policeman and what did he do to make him kill him," said Humphrey. Like many deaths during the Civil Rights era, this one could just be related to skin color. Renewed interest from the government could shed some new light on many of those deaths including Willie.
"I feel bad, real bad about it. He was a good guy and I just couldn't understand why this would happen to him," said Williams. What happened won't be forgotten.
"No, never will. Like I say we were close, just like brothers. Really I hate to think about it sometimes," said Williams. But justice could make the bad memories a little more bearable.
Countryman is one of 76 names on a list compiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center and featured on a display called "The Forgotten" at the Civil Rights Memorial Center. The group turned over information about those 76 cases to the FBI which is now investigating some of them.

A Dez Wells scoring spree to start the second half ended Wake Forest's hopes of pulling the 7-10 upset and finished their season, while Maryland will advance to the ACC quarterfinals after the 75-62 win.
Wells finished with 21 points on just 10 shots, drilling both threes he attempted and putting down a pair of slam dunks as part of a spurt that pulled Maryland back from a halftime deficit. The Terps entered the half down five, but cut that lead quickly and soon led by double digits.
Wake Forest's C.J. Harris seemed like he'd be a problem for Maryland at the start of what turned out to be his final collegiate game: The senior guard scored Wake Forest's first five points, eventually ending the period with 13. Meanwhile, the only bucket for 7-footer Alex Len in the half was a three-pointer, as he only took two shots despite not facing anyone over 6'9. The Demon Deacons would lead by as much as seven in the first period, eventually heading into halftime up 35-30.
Wells did not take kindly to his team trailing. The Xavier transfer scored 12 of Maryland's first 16 points, including two dunks and two three-pointers, and a rebound and bucket by Len gave Maryland their first lead in a while. Later, a Len dunk and a three by Pe'Shon Howard — his first of the game — sparked a 13-4 run that would start to put the game out of reach. The Demon Deacons responded by going over eight minutes without a field goal. Maryland would lead by as much as 15 before the end of the game.
Maryland advances to play second-seeded Duke in the next round, music to the ears of Terps fans who remember an 83-81 upset over the team then ranked No. 2 — in the country, not the conference — in College Park in February. Now, however, the Blue Devils have Ryan Kelly back.

By Wainwright Jeffers - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Farmers Peanuts, on Hudson Street, just off U.S. 84 in Whigham, caught fire about 2:30 Friday afternoon.
Investigators think the fire started from a spark from a welder. The building is filled with 3,800 tons of peanuts, and it's a total loss.
Firefighters from several departments are there. They're ripping the walls off the warehouse and pulling the peanuts out so they can get to the areas that are smoldering.
A Sylvester peanut warehouse burned for weeks earlier this year.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Monday marked the deadline for candidates to file to run for Lubbock City Council.
Last month Linda DeLeon announced she will not seek re-election. Three men will run for her District 1 seat in East Lubbock. NewsChannel 11 caught up with 2 of the candidates who say now is a vital time for the district.
"I'm running for this office because District 1 needs strong effective leadership," said Glen Robertson on Monday morning when he officially announced his run for City Council. Robertson owns 4 businesses in Lubbock, has served on 2 school boards, and was a member of the Ransom Canyon City Council.
His opponent, Victor Hernandez previously served 11 years on City Council before Linda DeLeon was elected to the District 1 seat. He is a veteran and an attorney.
Both candidates share many of the same concerns. First and foremost, they worry about the safety and urban decline of their neighborhoods.
"We have to address the increase in crime in our neighborhoods. The safety of our citizens and especially our children has to be priority number one," said Robertson.
"It's leaving an inner city, much like the cities of the East, and that's not good for any city," said Hernandez.
Robertson claims the solution is to find a way to recruit more police officers and stricter code enforcement. Hernandez thinks District 1 needs more of a commitment from the city.
"By just paying attention to what's going on in the neighborhoods and being supportive of them in terms of crime rate, in terms of housing rehabilitation," said Hernandez.
Both men also say District 1 needs an advocate who will fight for them.
"We have the same rights and the same needs for city services as the rest of the city. It's time that we stop ignoring North and East Lubbock," said Robertson.
"Sometimes we get so caught up as a city in the flash of the new parts of town that we tend to forget the older parts of town," said Hernandez.
The 3rd candidate in this race is Rafael Gutierrez. He filed just a few hours before the 5 p.m. deadline.
Current District 3 Councilman, Todd Klein is unopposed in his run for re-election.
John Leonard will not run for re-election in District 5. Karen Gibson and Stephan Lampman will run for that seat.
Mayor Tom Martin will run for re-election against Cody Smart, Richard Quade, and Roger Settler.

This past Sunday my husband and I hit the road to attend the 6th Annual Oneonta Spiritual Arts Fair! For those of you who remember me writing about the event last year, I want to let you know right off the bat that we did not lock ourselves out of our car as we had the previous year. We brought an extra key for the car just to be on the safe side.
This year's fair had twenty different workshops, seven psychic or intuitive readers, nine energy healers, and so many vendors selling a variety of goods that they needed more than one building to hold them all! When I attended in 2009, besides dealing with some car drama, I packed the day with attending an almost nonstop schedule of workshops. This year I wanted a more leisurely experience. I wanted to take time to really talk to some of the vendors, to not feel rushed while looking over dozens of tables loaded with everything from books to clothes to jewelry to soap, and so much more! Besides, I had a lunch date I didn't want to miss.
The one thing aside from lunch that I knew I wanted to do at the fair was get another henna tattoo from Jessica Halter, aka "The Henna Lady". I loved the one I got last year and was looking forward to getting a new one. I was pleased to be her first customer of the day and spent time catching up with her on everything that had been going on since we last saw each other in 2009. A few people stood by to watch the process and I enjoyed the opportunity to tell them about my wonderful experience with my previous henna tattoo. In fact, an hour later I had people coming up to me to excitedly sharing their tattoos with me. One woman is considering having a "girls night" where she and her friends will get together and drink some wine and get henna tattoos. Sounds like a great night to me! Last year I let Jessica do whatever design she wanted, and I was bummed I hadn't ended up with a good photo of it to share. This year I again let her do what she felt like (always let the artist work) and my husband made sure to take lots of pictures!
You may remember last year I got an aura reading from Barbara Ellen, the lady behind AURA'bout You. She was there again this year, but I passed on a new photo. However, she's such a nice lady that I wanted to be sure to mention her again and publish a link. Here it is!
One of the other booths that I spent some serious time at was for the artist Maryann Stow. She is a regional artist with roots in Oneonta, NY and in her bio she states, "I have had some formal training, but most of my skill as a watercolorist has come from 'The School of 1000 Bad Paintings', as I like to call it." I love art. Much like wine, I don't know a lot about it, but I know when I like it. The work she had displayed made use of vibrant colors, a thing I like. There was one piece in particular that I loved, it was titled "New Growth". Of course with so many bookshelves lining our walls, and years of collecting works by NeNe Thomas, there is very little open wall space anymore. Luckily she had a small card featuring "New Growth" so I got a mini art piece to bring home.
I easily filled two hours with just walking the vendor rooms, so seriously folks, it's worth it to go just for the shopping. Two hours put me at lunch time, so it's time to talk about my lunch date.
You may remember that last year my primary reason for going was to get to meet author Deborah Blake in person. This year not only was I going to get to see her again, but I was also going to get to meet another author, Gail Wood! Yes, I was a happy camper. Happier still when lunch time rolled around. Both Deborah and Gail had a busy morning of doing mini tarot readings and discussing their books with the people filing through the vendor room so I really appreciated that they carved out a little time in their schedules to have some lunch. Since Deborah's birthday was just a few days before the event I brought her some chocolate rum balls for her to enjoy and share. However, if people thought I was a super fan for making the trip and bringing her chocolate, you would be sorely mistaken. Another woman who is a big fan of Deborah's work brought essentially an entire picnic worth of lunch as a surprise for Deborah! Soon Gail and Deborah's table was piled high with food!
Both Gail and Deborah are just wonderful ladies. They both really love what they do, and it shows. I learned a lot from those two this past weekend. The primary thing being that Gail Wood is the most photogenic of our trio.
As we were getting ready to leave Oneonta there was one more place to visit. You may remember that before the fair I mentioned that there was a comic/game store right across the street from the event. Well, it was still there. It's a pretty nice little comic/rpg storefront called Bearded Dragon Games and Comics. Normally I wouldn't bother mentioning our little side shopping trip. I didn't last year. But this time I stumbled across something too fun not to share.
I don't know how many of you are familiar with a card game called "Fluxx". For those of you who aren't, it's a fun little game based on one simple rule at the start, draw one card, play one card. As the game progresses it gets crazy because each card played changes the rules! It's really a fun game that is frighteningly easy to teach to others. Attention gamers, this is a great "gateway" game to get your non-gamer friends and family into games. As an aside, another excellent "gateway" game is "Lunch Money", but I'll talk about that some other day.
As Jim was waiting to get rung out I stood by the door looking at card games on a spinning display and that's when I saw these rare gems: "Jewish Fluxx" and "Christian Fluxx". Being a fan of "Fluxx" and religious doodads, these packs hit a total geek sweet spot with me. I'm bummed that Judaism and Christianity are the only religions to have gotten a "Fluxx" treatment. I would love to see other religions get their "Fluxx" on! Come on Looney Labs, if draw one card play one card isn't Zen I don't what is!
With that, we headed home. Another great time at the Oneonta Spiritual Arts Fair. I hope to see everyone again next year!

January 14, 2012
Today is another day for NFL play-offs and for many of us who live in Colorado, we're eagerly awaiting Saturday evening's game between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots.
According to a recent survey of sprots fans, Tim Tebow was the favorite active athelete – ahead of Kobe Bryant, Peytaon Manning, and Aaron Rogers.
So in honor of the game, we thought we'd highlight an article by a fellow Millennial and colleague regarding the Tebow phenomenon. Here's an excerpt:
As an evangelical Christian, like Tebow, I am called to share my faith with others – that's why we call it the "good news." Sometimes, that can be a daunting responsibility – the Bible tells us that the way of Jesus can be offensive to those who don't know Him. But there was an openness to hearing the Gospel all around me and my friends Sunday, as complete strangers asked us, in the midst of the game's tensest moments, if we "pray like Tebow does" when circumstances turn challenging. (This is as good a place as any to point out that Tebow is hardly the only, or even the most outspoken, follower of Christ in pro football. Devout Christians suit up every weekend for every team in the NFL.)
But you should read the whole article here.

Hello fsugrizz,
Thank you for your interest in the Davey O'Brien Award, and our Semifinalists announcement. It is the passion of fans like you that make college football great. I understand you are upset by Christian Ponder's omission from our Semifinalist list, so I would like to clarify our selection process for you.
Our Semifinalists are selected by the Davey O'Brien National Selection Committee, an elite group of journalists, broadcasters, commentators and former winners, with the Fan Vote accounting for 5 % of the total vote. The Selection Committee is asked to evaluate each candidate on the criteria of his quarterback skills and athletic ability, academics, his reputation as a team player, character, leadership and sportsmanship. All 120 starting quarterbacks in the FBS division are eligible for Semifinalists selection, and for a complete listing of the Selection Committee, you can visit www.DaveyOBrien.org.
I hope this clarifies any questions or concerns you have, and that you will continue to support the O'Brien Quarterback Award.
Best regards,
To which I replied:
Actually this further compounds my issues with his omission.
If the selection committee is asked to evaluate each canidate based on his quarterback skills, athletic ability, academics, reputation etc, then why is qb who would be 2nd in the list of the "15 top qb's" in the nation in terms of quarterback efficiency which is a measure of a quarterback's skills and athletic ability against BCS caliber opponents. He would be 4th in the list of semi-finalists in yards per attempt which is a measure of how many yards a qb produces which is again a measure of his skills. Ponder is 3rd in the nation in accuracy to Colt McCoy and Case Keenum. Ponder has thrown fewer interceptions then every single quarterback on the semi-final list. He has the highest TD/INT ratio against BCS teams in the list at 10/1. In listing the players on the semi-final only one gains more total yards then Ponder.
Now if academics are indeed supposed to be a part of this award then how is a student who has already earn a bachelor's degree and is currently working on a masters not included? Clearly Ponder is the definition of a student athlete, with the student coming first. He is the offensive captain for our team and demonstrates leadership in this manner.
If a set of "elite journalists, broadcasters, commentators and former winners" can not see that Ponder is at least deserving to be one of the 15 best qb's in the nation then I for one consider your award to be fraudulent and useless. Even the one that Chris Weinke was awarded in 2000 and the one Charlie Ward was awarded in 1993.
I could maybe understand if the reason Ponder was omitted was because of Florida State's poor Win-Loss record yet you've included Jake Locker and his team has a worse record then FSU.
Unless you can clearly demonstrate that ALL 15 quarterbacks listed are more deserving then a student who has already earned a degree and chosen to go back for another, an athlete that demonstrates leadership as the captain of his team, and a quarterback who has a higher quarterback rating then 14 of the others on the list against BCS opponents, I will personally consider your award to be a fraudulent waste of time.
It is very possible that Ponder would not win the award because he may or may not be the best quarterback in the nation and I am very understanding of this. However it is inexcusable of a set of "elite" committee members to think that there could possibly be 15 better qb's who accurately fit the requirements for the award.
Sincerely fsugrizz.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A civil rights group has accused the FBI of threatening to deport the friend of a Chechen man shot to death in his Orlando apartment by an agent during questioning about a Boston Marathon bombing suspect.
The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations on Wednesday said Tatiana Gruzdeva, a friend of Ibragim Todashev, was arrested Tuesday when she showed up at an immigration office to sign papers for an extension of her work visa.
The group said Gruzdeva was told she was being deported for talking publicly to Boston Magazine about Todashev.
FBI spokesman Paul Bresson declined to comment on Gruzdeva's arrest. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Carissa Cutrell, didn't return an email and phone call. Her voicemail said she was out because of the government shut down.
Todashev was killed last May while FBI agents and others questioned him about his friendship with suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Officials originally said the Chechen man lunged at an agent with a knife. They later said it was no longer clear what happened.
The group also said a friend of Todashev who was arrested last month on an unrelated charge was questioned for six hours by FBI agents about Todashev. When Ashurmamad Miraliev was arrested, he asked to have an attorney present during questioning but was denied the request, Shibly said.
"It's clear the FBI is taking retaliatory action by going after the family and friends of Todashev who have spoken out against the FBI for killing the unarmed Florida resident," CAIR-Florida executive director Hassan Shibly said in a statement.
Last month, Bresson said FBI interviews are done "either with his/her consent or with an attorney present."

(Charleston-AP) Feb. 23, 2005 - The remains of two dozen Confederate soldiers recovered from beneath the stands of The Citadel's football stadium will be buried next month.
The remains of the 21 soldiers are among hundreds of soldiers and civilians buried at the site during the Civil War.
A clerical error allowed the west stands of Johnson Hagood Stadium to be constructed over a pair of graveyards. The city allowed the graves to be moved in 1948 when the stadium was built but a letter spelling out those wishes gave permission to move only the headstones.
Civil War re-enactors began looking for the graves in the 1990s in an effort to locate lost Confederates. The remains of about 350 civilians and 40 Civil War soldiers have been excavated. That includes the first crew of the Confederate submarine Hunley.
Re-enactor Randy Burbage says the latest remains were found during his group's final excavation last June.
None of the bodies has been identified, but Burbage said it appears most died during the defense of Charleston.. Reburial is set for March 5th at the Magnolia Cemetery. Burbage says the funeral will be less extravagant than the one for the Hunley's final crew last April and will begin at the cemetery gate where the men will be escorted inside, according to the Charleston Post and Courier.
The newspaper says the remains of about 350 civilians will be stored while school officials decide how to re-inter them. One official says that could mean setting up a small site inside the stadium.
The Citadel is spending nearly $150,000 for the relocation project.
The west stands have been torn down as part of an $8 million renovation project.

Teenage girl 'sorry' for tirade of racial abuse launched against Nelson taxi driver
Updated 3:15pm Tuesday 14th January 2014 in News
A TEENAGE girl who unleashed a tirade of racial abuse at a Nelson taxi driver after drinking a bottle of Sambuca has apologised to magistrates.
Burnley Youth Court was told cabbie Abid Hussain Shah was working at Ronnie's Taxis when three young women and a young man came in asking for a taxi.
Prosecutor David Hartley said they told him that they didn't have any money, so he refused to take them out.
One of the teenage girls then hurled racist remarks at Mr Shah, who called police.
Police arrested the teenager, but she continued making racist remarks while being escorted back to the police station.
Keith Rennison, defending, said the girl had 'little recollection' of the incident, as she had drank a bottle of Sambuca that night, but was now 'thoroughly ashamed' of her actions.
The girl, from Burnley, admitted racially aggravated threatening behaviour and was given a six-month referral order, with £50 compensation.

I woulda posted last night after the game, but didn't have time. Basically, Chris Kaman blew it for the Clippers last night. He was the one who missed about 5 or 6 shots in a row while the Blazers did just that, blaze right past the Clippers going on a, what, 13-0 run?
VDN should know already, he IS VDN, not Mike Dunleavy. This is NOT Kaman's team. Your team is up 4 and the 2 hottest players for your team are Griffin and Gordon. How isn't the ball getting to them at that time? Down low to Griffin? And why you sit down Rasual to bring in Gomes late in the game when you're trying to regain momentum, Gomes who did nothing last night? Rasual was hot, Gomes was not. You shoulda put Aminu instead, VINNNNY.
Anyways, Kaman was bad, but the coaching was worse. That's all I got to say. I know, been already said, but I wanted to highlight it.

Valdosta - A man who has been behind bars for nearly three decades for the murder of a Valdosta woman is set to be released in May.
The state board of pardons and paroles announced they granted parole to E-Keller Wilcox.
He was convicted of murdering Helen Hanks and concealing her death.
Hanks was the secretary for a business owned by Wilcox's father.
She disappeared in 1972. Her body wasn't discovered in Lowndes County until 1981.
Wilcox was arrested and has been jailed ever since.
The board reviewed the case for several months before reaching the decision.
Wilcox has been banned from Lowndes County and may not have any contact with the Hanks family.
He will also be under electronic surveillance.

Its epic! Its weekly! Its a caption contest! Its in its second week!
Ok, heres the deal: I'll try and put one of these up each week. Each thread will contain two pictures, which it is your job to caption. Caption them with anything - a description of what you think is going on in the picture, what the people are thinking, or anything else you can come up with that would be funny. Avoid using obscene language. If its funny people will rec your caption, which is how the contest is decided. A winner will be named for each picture, meaning there will be
two winners a week. In the event if a tie, both will get credit. The prize will be getting your name posted on all future NCSEWCCs.
Basically just like any other caption contest.
Remember: Post your captions in separate posts, so someone can rec one but not necessarily both.
Please rec this post so that it doesn't fall off with all with all the draft stuff.
Please take a moment to rec other people's posts. Hopefully you were going to do that anyways.
So with that aside, here are the pics!
SlotMachinePlayer - 5 rec's total, winner.
Wetfeet - 4 rec's total, runner up.
