Mike Leach and Freakonomics
The New York Times section "Freakonomics" gives a little love to Mike Leach, Texas Tech, and the Spread Offense in an article on copyright and innovation. It's something that the current coaches might want to pay attention to. In the very least...I thought that y'all might get a kick out of it.

By MONA NAIR6 News Reporter
MIDDLESBORO, Ky. (WATE) - A man is facing charges for allegedly putting cameras in men's restrooms at the city park in Harrogate and a Walmart in Middlesboro, Kentucky.
Police in Middlesboro say the investigation of Randall R. Rogers, 49, of Speedwell, Tennessee, began in December 2011.
He's accused of placing small cameras in a little white box on the back of the toilet tank in the men's restroom at the Middlesboro Walmart.
"It was on the back of the commode and looked like an air freshener," said Lt. Tom Busic with Middlesboro Police, explaining what one of the cameras looked like.
Police say they found video of boys and men using the restroom on the camera.
"The cameras only showed the genital area of the people using the bathroom. You can't tell their faces. It's a very wide angle lens," Lt. Busic explained.
From the video, they got a fuzzy picture of Rogers installing the camera, but were unable to identify him at the time.
Rogers is also suspected of putting a similar camera in the men's restroom at Harrogate City Park.
In fact, it was video on a similar camera found in a bathroom stall at the park that helped police identify and track him down.
"We live in a great community and for someone to violate our bathroom like this is so dangerous," said Barbara Crumley. Crumley's six grandchildren play at the park along with several other kids.
Rogers was arrested in Middlesboro on Monday when police said he returned to Walmart. Police found more cameras, including a wireless camera disguised to look like a smoke detector.
He's charged in Kentucky with seven counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument, six counts of promoting a minor under 16 in a sex performance and one count of video voyeurism.
Investigators seized several computers from his home. They don't know long Rogers could have been doing this, or how many public restrooms he may have hidden cameras in. They hope to get some idea from what they find on his computers.

Mustang MonthlyNews & Views
History of the Shelby Mustangs - Shelby: The Untold Stories
From The Men Who Built The Cars
Chuck Cantwell, 1964-1968
Chuck Cantwell has a good reason to remember his first hectic days at Shelby American in late 1964. "When I first came out, they had 10 or 11 cars they wanted to get finished by Christmas, which we did. Then I flew back to Michigan on Christmas Eve and got married the day after Christmas. My wife and I drove out to California between Christmas and New Year's with a little U-Haul trailer. Of course, the first thing they told me at Shelby was that we were going to be working six days a week, 10 hours a day. So I didn't get to see much of my new wife for a while."
Like many other employees, Chuck was doing the right things at the right time when he got the call from Shelby American. He was working for GM Styling in Detroit and was also racing an MG-B in the local sports car club. "One of the fellows from Chevrolet engineering went to work for Ray Geddes at Ford. When Ford decided to do the GT350 program, they needed someone as project engineer. So I flew out to California and interviewed with Carroll and Peyton Cramer. I got an offer and accepted it around the first of October 1964."
As project manager for the GT350, Chuck was instrumental in the design and production of the Shelby Mustangs, both street and R-model. "I spent the first three weeks at Ford going over program objectives. Ken Miles and crew had done a couple of notchbacks. They'd worked up the suspension and a lot of the parts. So we had an idea of what we wanted to do. But we had to solidify the designs and sources for the parts. We knew pretty much what the engine parts were going to be. Pete Brock had done a styling car with some of the emblem stuff, which changed when the GT350 name was decided on. He'd done the race car rear windshield and figured out what to do with the back seat taken out. We finalized a lot of those details after I got out there."
Working with Ford's San Jose assembly plant was also part of the job. "We knew what we weren't going to use but we didn't know what we could delete or add on the assembly line. I spent a day or so with the folks in San Jose and learned that the cars had to drive off the assembly line, so we couldn't delete all the engine parts we weren't going to use. And they couldn't put on headers and that kind of stuff. It was during that trip that I found the export brace on the assembly line. It was there for export cars so we were able to spec that for the car.
"If they could substitute something without screwing up the production line, they would do it, like putting in the transmissions. For the race cars, they would leave out the sealant and fillers to take out some weight. We had to define the special order numbers (DSO, for Dealer Special Order) so we could keep it simple. Once we had the specs, then we could order by a group number. That way, they could do everything the same."
Chuck recalls that sourcing the special performance parts was time consuming. "We had a Ford purchasing guy who came out. He'd done some source work out there before for race cars and knew fiberglass guys, the Buddy Bar casting people, and so on. We started out painting the stripes, then we got a vinyl shop to do them so they could be applied all at once. The headers were stock Tri-Ys from Cyclone. Everything that went on a car, I was involved with it in one way or another.
"By the time we got the '65s done, making changes as we went along, we had to start on the '66 car; per normal, we were behind on it by the time we started. The quarter-windows had to be designed. It took some time to get sources to make up the pieces and decide how to put them together. We started '66 with all the '65 modifications still on the cars. That changed after a while, which was sort of a production relief thing. Then the '67s came right on top of that and we had the GT500 to deal with. For 1968, Ford sent guys out and we worked with them on the design. Then they took it back to Michigan so they could build the cars at A.O. Smith."

Howdy Folks!
There's a lot of angst at the moment regarding the defensive play this last week against the Chiefs. I want to take a couple moments to help you take a breath and consider all the facts so the cries to dismantle the defense will cease and you can turn your scorn toward a more appropriate target.
Fact 1: The Defense only gave up 19 points.
Now I know there were some broken plays for a lot of yards (and we'll get to those in a minute), but the fact remains that through a combination of great goal line play and good defensive play calling the Chiefs were held to just 19 points in 6 trips to the red zone.
Take a look at Week 14 (last week). There were 12 out of 32 NFL teams who failed to score 19 points. Lets take a look at them: The Browns, The Chiefs, The Bucs, The Colts, The Steelers, The Dolphins, The Titans, The Raiders, The Bears, The Broncos, The Bills and The Rams. There are only 2 teams on that list who are playoff bound: The Steelers (playing with an injury to Big Ben) and The Broncos (who just Tebowed all over everyone in the 4th quarter and probably shouldn't be a playoff team). But not one of those teams have a passing game even remotely comparable to The Packers. With 19 points allowed, this offense should win every time.
Fact 2: This Defense is designed to be opportunistic, and this is the first time this season it didn't pay off.
I don't need to remind you that the Packers lead the NFL in interceptions. Part of jumping the ball is getting in front of a receiver or forcing a guy into throwing into double or triple coverage. When you play that way, there has to be a guy who gets open. You just hope your pass rush can cause enough havoc to get a QB to make bad decisions. This week it didn't work. Last week, it worked in spades.
Additionally, this kind of defense really works best when another team is playing from behind and they're forced to throw the ball quite a bit to try to even up the score (or when they're playing against a pass-first team). If you can take your time and run the ball a lot, it severely limits your interception opportunities.
Fact 3: The defense is not the big investment on this team.
Of the top 15 highest paid players on the team, only 4 of them are defensive (Woodson, Collins, Hawk and Bishop), and two of them missed this week's game (Collins and Bishop). On top of that, none of them are 'pass rushing specialists' like CM3. If you spend money on defense, you should expect a great defense. If you spend money on offense, you should expect a great offense. This week, dollar for dollar, the D did far more than pull it's weight compared to how the offense mailed it in.
Also, last year's draft didn't feature a defensive player being signed until the 4th round with House. Not that I have a problem with that, as a defensive player at another point in the draft might have been a reach and you always go BPA, but I wanted to make the observation that as far as new blood goes, the offense got much more of a shot in the arm than the D did (especially with resignings for the offense and big free agent departures for the defense).
Fact 4: Time of Possession is an offensive statistic as much as it is a defensive statistic.
You can say that the defense failed in allowing long sustained drives by the Chiefs, and you'd be completely correct in saying that. You can also say the offense failed to create sustained drives to eat up the clock, and you'd also be correct. I don't think this is an argument that really holds much water either way you look at it.
So I guess when I've really thought about it: The only really fair criticism of the defense is the failure to really create an effective pass rush. Saying they allowed too many points, that we're a defense first team or that the ToP battle was lost by the defense isn't a fair criticism.
Seriously though, we need to prioritize a pass rusher in the draft. I agree with everyone who is complaining about that, it's just not the only (or biggest) thing that went wrong today.
Really, I have to tip my cap to the Chiefs. Instead of doing what every other NFL team has done to try to win (winning in a shoot-out by outscoring the Packers) they played to their own strengths of running the ball first, which opened up some pass opportunties later because they could really sell the play-action, and keeping our offense off the field. That combined with the awesome crowd noise of Arrowhead Stadium limiting Rodgers ability to communicate changes at the line (at least, that's what I'm trying to convince myself kept the offense on different pages today) was a winning strategy.
Hopefully this week serves as a bit of a wake up for the Offense, they get back on the same page, get healthy, and along with the comforts of home the rest of the way out (1 win/SF loss pending), they'll get on a roll that can't be stopped.
Go Pack Go!

The boys basketball regular season concludes Thursday and the playoff seeds will be announced Saturday.
Below, you can find the projected seedings, based on the Walker System, of games played through Wednesday. Please be aware that the seedings can still change.
The Walker System evaluates teams by a mathematical formula that judges win percentage, strength of schedule, and records vs. playoff teams. Strength of schedule and record vs. qualified teams are adjusted for division and league based on a points system. The Valley League is worth 6 points; Division I teams are worth 5 points; Division II are 4; Division III are 3; Division IV are 2; Tri-County teams are 1.
You can read some more on the Walker here.
Division I
1. Putnam (21-0)
2. West Springfield (14-6)
3. Northampton (15-4)
4. Holyoke (14-5)
5. Leominster (15-4)
6. Agawam (12-8)
Bubble: Cathedral (9-10)
NOTE: West Springfield's strength of schedule and record vs. qualified teams has moved the Terriers into second place and a first round bye. Cathedral can shake up the seedings by beating Holyoke in its season finale and punching its ticket to the playoffs. In a 7-team field, Putnam would receive the lone bye to the semifinals.
Division II
1. Longmeadow (17-2)
2. Pittsfield (17-3)
3. Taconic (15-5)
4. South Hadley (13-6)
5. North Middlesex (9-10)
6. Shepherd Hill (12-7)
7. Quabbin (12-8)
NOTE: Longmeadow has clinched the 1-seed and the first-round bye. Pittsfield has secured the 2-seed and will play either Shepherd Hill or Quabbin. Quabbin still has one game left and could move up the seedings with a win. Taconic's win over Pittsfield catapulted them into the 3-seed, but it is still a tight race with South Hadley. If the Tigers finish with a win Thursday vs. Ludlow, they will most likely secure home court advantage in a first round matchup with North Middlesex, but could possibly jump ahead of Taconic into the 3-seed.
Division III
1. Sabis (13-6)
2. Renaissance (19-0)
3. Hoosac Valley (14-6)
4. Mahar (15-5)
5. Wahconah 13-7)
6. Greenfield (12-8)
7. Monument Mountain (10-8)
8. Easthampton (11-9)
9. Hampshire (11-9)
10. Pioneer Valley (10-10)
11. Palmer (10-9)
NOTE: Palmer became the 11th team to reach the Division III tournament with a win vs. Hampshire Wednesday night. Despite Renaissance's undefeated season, Sabis holds the top spot because it plays in the Suburban League with Division I and Division II competition.
Division IV*
1. Quabog
2. Smith Academy
3. Granby
4. Turners Falls
5. Lenox
6. Hopkins Academy
7. Monson
8. North Brookfield
9. Gateway
10. McCann Tech
11. Franklin Tech
12. Pioneer Valley Christian
*NOTE: The Division IV seedings have not been updated yet, as we are still tracking down the results of some of last night's game. Both Smith Voc. and Lee qualified for the tournaments with wins, so Division IV will be a 13-team field. We will update the projected seedings ASAP.

Windows 8 on CloverTrail - Any Good?
Greetings Microsoft Tribe! I already have a powerful laptop that satisfies most of my heavy duty computing needs - Photoshop, Visual Studio, multiple tab browsing etc. I am not into any gaming on PC.
I've been wanting to buy a Windows 8 device but have been in a fix. I want a tablet - for portability, battery life and mainly web-browsing. But Windows RT doens't seem to cut it. I know I'll need the full blown Windows desktop sometimes.
I read Paul Thurrot's article on CloverTrail and wanted to ask whether a CloverTrail tablet like Samsung Ativ Smart PC would be fine. It has got the battery life and portability of Windows RT and can run light x86 apps too. I won't be running PS or VS on it obviously. With stylus support, it seems perfect for me (Surface Pro with ~4.5h battery won't be sufficient)
There is also news about Intel's Haswell bringing i5 like processing and Atom like power consumption. Is it worth the wait? I am in no hurry and can easily wait a few months.

Overheard at a youth football game
Overheard at a youth football game (9-11 year old boys) last weekend:
Coach to boys on bench cheering loudly for their teammates on the field: "Quit the cheering or I'll put you all in skirts and make you stand with the cheerleaders."
Your thoughts?
The coach is a moron. Any good coach wants his players on the bench to be excited about the game and supportive of their team mates.
Homophobia has always been a powerful coaching tool.
Not enough info. I've coached that age group and they tend to get distracted. What the kids MAY have been singing sounded like a cheer to the coach, and especially if the coach was frustrated, he probably said something that he didn't mean.

Area law enforcement is on the lookout for four federal drug suspects who were mistakenly released from custody on Wednesday after their pending state charges were dismissed, said Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator and U.S. Marshal Henry Whitehorn. One additional suspect has already been located and returned to jail.
All five inmates appeared in federal court last week for arraignment after their case was adopted by the U.S. Attorney's Office. On Wednesday, a district court judge dismissed all state charges against them, and the Caddo Correctional Center was notified of the dismissal. Jail staff received this information and released the defendants on Wednesday evening.
"This unfortunate event was a breakdown in communication with the U.S. Marshals and jail staff, and not the fault of any particular agency or officer," said Whitehorn.
One of the defendants, 52-year-old Cecil Cole, was located at his residence and returned to custody last night. The others remain at large. Caddo Sheriff's resources and U.S. Marshals are working diligently to locate and apprehend the remaining defendants. Anyone with information about their whereabouts is urged to contact their local law enforcement agency.
The suspects at large are:
1. Darien Jones, aka "Little Troy," 22, of the 2900 block of Looney;
2. Darien Reliford, aka "Big Troy," 41, of the 2900 block of W. Laurel;
3. Tamika Barrett, aka "Tamika Reliford," 40, of the 2900 block of Milton; and
4. Lagashia Woodard, 21, of the 2900 block of Looney.
These individuals, along with eight (8) other co-defendants were arrested on November 15, 2011, following an investigation by DEA, Louisiana State Police, and the Caddo-Shreveport Narcotics Task Force. All defendants were arrested and incarcerated at Caddo Correctional Center on state charges.

Woj says that Arenas has "privately told people for days" that he thinks he's headed to Orlando, and it could be for Vince Carter's expiring or a deal built around Marcin Gortat.

Cookie Recipe With Cacao Powder
Since I just recently discussed our Cacao powder and it's benefit as a 'superfood', I thought I'd share this yummy Cacao Cookie recipe with you. For this recipe, we will be using quite a few of our food storage ingredients. This is another reason that I thought you would like this recipe. These cookies with Cacao powder are delicious and they are also versatile. You can add your own favorite ingredients. For example, sometimes I'll add some nuts, or a tablespoon of flax seed or some 'white morsel' chips. Be creative!
Here's the recipe for 2 dozen Cacao Cookies:
- 1/2 stick butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg (or 1 Tbsp dehydrated egg powder and 1 Tbsp water)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
Drop by tablespoonful onto your greased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

I've had the chance to cover two events at Oak Hill and it's a fabulous, old style golf course with big trees and rolling fairways. I covered the US Open when Curtis Strange won this second straight title in the late nineties and then a few years later, saw a USA collapse on Sunday in the Ryder Cup that gave Europe a win on American soil. So, history seems to always be made at Oak Hill and this year should be no different as they tee off golf's last major championship for 2013.

Mike Perlstein / Eyewitness News
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @mikeperlstein
NEW ORLEANS -- The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office is investigating the discovery of more than a dozen contraband cell phones inside Parish Prison, authorities confirmed.
The investigation is focusing on inmates as well as the possibility that sheriff's office employees or outside civilians helped smuggle the phones into the complex, according to the district attorney's office.
"The $64,000 question that law enforcement needs to answer right now, is how did these phones get introduced into the jail system?" asked Rafael Goyeneche, president of the Metropolitan Crime Commission.
Contraband – ranging from drugs to weapons to cell phones – has been a persistent problem at OPP. A now-infamous video that surfaced last year shows inmates with drugs, booze and a loaded gun inside a parish prison jail cell.
Cell phones are one of the most popular forms of jailhouse contraband, potentially allowing dangerous inmates to intimidate witnesses or carry out other crimes from behind bars -- even order "hits" or executions.
Dozens of OPP inmates and deputies have been arrested and convicted of possessing contraband in recent years, and the security concerns are a major issue being addressed by the sweeping consent decree to improve unconstitutional conditions at the jail.
"It's obviously a concern, but we'd be naive to think that you can ever fully prevent contraband from entering any jail," Goyeneche said. "What is important for law enforcement is to find out how they got contraband in and take steps to prevent it."
Sheriff Marlin Gusman previously said that a new jail set to open later this year will provide greater security against the infiltration of contraband.
Goyeneche said that during a tour of the new lockup under construction, Gusman touted enhanced security measures, including some for deputies. Those measures include expanded use of metal detectors and a changing area to prevent deputies from bringing street clothes into the facility.
In a written statement, District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro commended the sheriff's office for alerting prosecutors to the cell phone case while it was in its early stages.
"The investigation is seeking to determine not only the inmates who possessed the contraband but also the manner in which it was introduced to the facility and any parties responsible for its introduction," according to the statement. "Sheriff Gusman should be commended for immediately informing the DA's office regarding this issue and diligently following through on the investigation of the same."
A spokesman for the sheriff's office acknowledged the probe, but declined comment until it is complete.

There I was catching up on several news items I tagged earlier today, so I would remember to return to them, when I read that Nigerian director Jeta Amata, is currently in Haiti, where he has been named a Goodwill Ambassador, by Haiti President Michel Martelly (photo above).
The ceremony took place yesterday, Monday, February 4, in Port-au-Prince, in the presence of, among others, Haiti Tourism Minister Stephanie Villedrouin, Foreign Minister Pierre Richard Casimir and Culture Minister Josette Darguste.
The question that came to me immediately, was, why Nollywood director Amata was being honored with this specific position...
Further digging and reading revealed that Amata was named a Goodwill Ambassador because he's currently shooting a feature film on the life of Toussaint Louverture!
That's right! I don't know how we missed this. We're usually on-top of this kind of major news, but it just slipped by us. However, now you know.
Here's what I can add, based on the research I did:
- The film is titled Emperor: The Story of Toussaint l'Ouverture.
- Its listed budget is $15 million, which is being financed by mostly private equity.
- It's based on an original screenplay by Kyra Pahlen. I looked up Kyra's credits to find that this will be her first job. But I also learned that she's the daughter of the late producer Victor Pahlen, who, along with Errol Flynn, was co-owner of a movie theatre in Havana (Cuba) during Fidel Castro's revolution - this was in 1959. So both Pahlen and Flynn took to the streets with cameras to document history as it happened, at ground zero. And what resulted was a feature documentary of Castro's uprising, hosted by Flynn, featuring footage of the conflict and Castro himself. That documentary would eventually be titled Cuban Story. It's listed on IMDB as The Truth About Fidel Castro's Revolution. The film premiered at the Moscow Film Festival in 1960, and then disappeared until it was resurrected this century by (bringing it all back around), Victor Pahlen's daughter, Kyra Pahlen - who's now the writer of Emperor: The Story of Toussaint l'Ouverture.
- The only synopsis I could find reads: The film chronicles the life, loves and battles of Toussaint l'Ouverture, who founded the world's first independent black republic in Haiti by ousting both the Spaniards and Napoleon's French army. In an unprecedented war of wills, the film follows the clash between Catholicism and Voodoo, inspired warfare, international politics, the eternal love triangle and the conflict between every shade of color in the small Caribbean nation.
- I couldn't find anything on who's been cast in the film, which is strange; unless it's all being kept under-wraps. But I did learn that an unknown is playing the lead role, selected after what the filmmakers call an international search for new talent, last year. They also said that this new face playing Toussaint, will be surrounded by familiar talent.
- The film is being shot mostly in Haiti, with other locations in Mauritius, Brazil and France.
- In the press statement Haiti President Michel Martelly released, it is mentioned that some proceeds from the film's profits will be used to fund restoration of historic sites in Haiti that were destroyed by the 2010 earthquake.
- At the event, Amata, one of Nollywood's most famous directors today, told the President and other dignitaries in attendance, "I will not disappoint you."
- The film will be scored by George Acogny (who also worked on Blood Diamond, and Rabbit Foot Fence).
- The film is currently scheduled for an August release.
So, by all accounts, given all available data, this is a project to definitely pay attention to from here-on, and we'll be doing just that.
Jeta Amata belongs to a group/movement of Nigerian filmmakers (Kunle Afolayan, Tony Abulu and others) who want to seemingly break free of Nollywood-style filmmaking, and create work that's able to compete on the international cinema stage, and give a new face to Nigerian filmmaking.
His last feature, the political corruption drama about the volatile oil-rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria, titled Black Gold, was a Hollywood/Nollywood collaboration, and starred Mickey Rourke, Kim Bassinger, Anne Heche, Billy Zane, Tom Sizemore, Vivica Fox, Sarah Wayne Callies, Mbong Amata, Hakeem Kae Kazim and several others. It was re-released in Nigeria in December, after Amata re-thought and reshot parts of the film, to make it more current.
I saw the first version of Black Gold, later titled Black November, and, let's just say that I wasn't at all impressed.
But we'll see what Amata does with Toussaint l'Ouverture.
Recall last year's Toussaint l'Ouverture film, directed by Philippe Niang, which traveled the international film festival circuit (and continues to travel). It stars Jimmy Jean-Louis as the title character in what really was a 2-part TV-movie, made for French television. It still hasn't received a proper release here in the USA (or really, anywhere outside of France).
There's also Danny Glover's project which, as of today, is still in Limbo, with no indication that it'll ever become a reality.
So... now we wait for Jeta Amata's $15 million Toussaint film. Until then, I hope that we're able to get more information on the project.
Lionell | February 13, 2013 7:08 PM
Jeta Amata as the director. What a joke. I saw Black Gold and Black November final cut in NY in September and wasn't impressed. When did just throwing a bunch of A listers in a film with weak dialogue make for a great film? The film was predictable, and the acting was mediocre even from Rourke and Basinger. The cause of this film is great and I applaud that and hope something is done to stop such atrocities.
kreyolicious | February 6, 2013 5:16 PM
Another movie about the life of Toussaint Louverture? That's really awesome. I'm truly glad to read that the bulk of it is being filmed in Haiti. Best wishes to Mr. Amata and Ms. Palen. I've read at least one book about Toussaint, and he was a very complex man. Ms. Palen has a great challenge in front of her, but it's one I'm sure she'll meet head on! Thanks for this tidbit Tambay.
No | February 6, 2013 9:10 AM
Well, I hope this production will see the light of day and the darkness which surrounds a silver screen. I hope the Philippe Niang's film about Toussaint Loverture will be distributed. Never too much Toussaint.
kyra pahlen | February 5, 2013 10:18 PM
Hello, I was happy to read your article. Thank you for your interest. May I tweak a little of the info? And do keep in touch. We are shooting mostly in Haiti - then DR and France. The lead will not be an unknown. The film you saw "Black Gold" is not the final cut. "Black November" to be released in April will surprise you. I think you will share my thoughts. Our film will be produced by Jean-Charles Levy who recently filmed "The Tall Man" with Jessica Biel and has a serious track record of challenging films. I have written other scripts, optioned by worthy producers, and have been on the more "business" side of the film business till I decided to change to the artistic side and make my life ... shall we say ... more suspenseful. This said with a smile.

Orange And Black By Year's End
This Islanders blogger does not believe in miracles.
I say that because a Twitter exchange between Mark Trible, The Checking Line's very own Flyers blogger, and I began before the start of the season after I predicted the Flyers to finish at the bottom of the Atlantic Division and the Islanders in third. My reasoning was that the Isles were on the upswing after completing the 2010 season just nine points shy of the playoffs after an 18 point improvement in the standings over the year before.
Teams like the Flyers, who finished in the East with the 8th and final playoff spot last year, typically have horrendous follow-up seasons after a Cinderella run to the Stanley Cup Finals. Since the team lost Simon Gagne and brought in Nikolai Zherdev on a gamble contract, I expected history to once again repeat itself. Just take a look at the Flames after their cup run or the Edmonton Oilers or the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (before their name change). To me my reasoning was not too far-fetched.
But then Mark Streit went down due to injury and Kyle Okposo decided to play copy cat. Forwards such as Trent Hunter and Doug Weight are under-achieving and the kids are having trouble carrying the responsibility of handling an entire season on their own. This is not an Islanders blogger making excuses. This is just a blogger calling it how he sees it.
The Flyers, on the other hand, have taken control of their fate and are on a great run, having beaten the Islanders today 3-2 at the Nassau Coliseum in a game where they had to come from behind in the third period to win the contest in regulation. Richards (point per game), Giroux, Carter, Briere and Leino all have 20 points or more in 28 games played with Sergei Bobrovsky becoming one of the great success stories of the 2011 season. He is 14-4-2 on the year with a 2.21 GAA. He certainly is making a name for himself in regards to Calder candidacy at the age of 22 in his first professional season.
After my long digression, I return to Trible. Our Twitter transgressions ended up with a bet: If my predictions were right, (which I am sad to say, they most definitely won't be), Mark would have to wear an Islanders jersey accompanied by an Islanders hat. If I was wrong, I would have to do the same in Flyers apparel. Although I have until April to ask a friend to lend me a jersey, don't be surprised if you see me wearing orange and black by the end of the year.
Because at this point it would take a miracle for otherwise to happen. And right now, I don't believe in miracles.

It's a shame to see you this way Rob. I felt the same way you did about the Isles when the season started, but unfortunately injuries are part of the game and the Isles have been really unlucky with them so far. I wasn't sure whether they were good enough to make the playoffs, but I definitely didn't think it would be this bad. Going to be interesting to see you in orange and black
My friend, who also is a die hard Islanders fan, has a Richards jersey with a hat as well. So I know where to go to find the gear without having to spend any money lol but yeah, I didn't expect them to have taken this big a step back. It is a real shame to already be looking at this year's draft class and it's barely December.

Day for Latino Dignity
From dKosopedia
Day for Latino Dignity was a Friday March 24, 2006 protest in Georgia by opponents of state anti-Hispanic immigrant legislation. The protest featured a general strike against shopping and work. Documented and undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Guatemala now comprise much of the state's non-skilled industrial, construction and agriclutural workforce but have little or no political power or influence in other institutions. That makes them easy targets for conservatives pandering to populist xenophobia.
On Thursday March 23, the Georgia State House of Representatives voted 123-51 to pass the "Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act." The Republican-dominated chamber debated Senate Bill 529, a complex proposal aimed at illegal immigrants and those who employ them, for only ninety minutes before Republican House leaders rammed through the vote. A State Senate had already approved a similar bill.
We have bent over backwards to accommodate the agricultural interests," state Sen. Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock) told the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee on Wednesday before it approved his bill. The bill, which has already been approved by the Senate, could be debated by the full House before week's end. According to Republican State Sen. Chip Rogers from Woodstock, "We have bent over backwards to accommodate the agricultural interests."
The state of Georgia has a tragic history of racism and anti-semitism, and this ham-fisted blame the victim approach to immigration may exacerbate racial and ethnic tensions.

Freetown Fries
Lafayette * (337) 967-1016
Search for "Freetown Fries"
on Facebook
The gourmet food truck scene has exploded in Lafayette, beginning quietly about a couple of years ago with trucks such as Viva La Waffle serving unique sandwich fixings on waffles and now stretching to about a dozen trucks on any given day. A roundup of most or all of the trucks, sponsored by E's Kitchen, a store offering kitchen accessories, is held the first Saturday of each month in the parking lot of Parc Lafayette, attracting quite a crowd.
For Marla Kristicevich, the idea for her Freetown Fries truck began in Portland, Ore., where a gourmet food truck trend was happening. She envisioned a similar culinary fad for Lafayette given that the town is known for its festivals and outdoor music events.
Kristicevich serves up meals based on fresh hand-cut french fries that are lightly fried in peanut oil and range from Poo-yie Fry with beef roast gravy, queso cheese, green onions and a dash of cayenne pepper to Mediterranean Fry with garlic hummus, feta cheese, olives and spices. On Fridays, she serves catfish and fries, a Cajun take on fish and chips. For Mardi Gras, her King Cake Fry featured sweet potatoes with a multi-colored glaze on top.
The idea for Freetown Fries actually had its origins in Canada, where the original Cajuns lived before being expelled by the British and heading to Louisiana. Poutine is a French-Canadian dish of french fries topped with gravy and cheese. Kristicevich wondered why Cajuns didn't enjoy french fries the same way, although Freetown Fries' version may be more flavorful and inventive than its Northern kin.
"Mine are fun and creative and the Cajun cousin to the Canadian poutine," she says.
Freetown Fries, like many of the new trucks on the market, uses fresh ingredients and a healthier way of cooking. Kristicevich uses nothing frozen, for instance. "It keeps me honorable," she says.
The name of the truck comes from the Lafayette neighborhood in which Kristicevich lives.
Even though she loves her mobility, Kristicevich's dream for Lafayette is a city park where the trucks can gather on a regular basis. "I think it would be a smart choice to make," she says. "It'd be a nice draw because we're such an eat-friendly town."
Most of the Lafayette trucks can be found on Facebook, and they announce their locations daily. For the monthly roundup, visit E's Kitchen's website at eskitchen.com.

Less than 24 hours after a man is shot and killed in Rockford the woman carrying his child speaks out about what happened.
She asked us not to reveal her identity.
Rockford Police are reporting the finding of an additional shell casing here at the crime scene, for them the story is about forensics, for the family living at 1428 Nelson Boulevard the story is one of loss.
"And I don't know what I'm going to do with this child with it being born and whatever without a father," said Jackson's girlfriend.
Dried blood marks the spot where Donmarquis Jackson took his last breath Monday night after being shot multiple times at a home on Nelson Boulevard. Jackson's girlfriend was jolted out of sleep by the sound of gunshots.
Only moments earlier, she had been standing in the kitchen with Jackson, the two are expecting a child.
It didn't take many words for her to express her feelings.
"Hurt and a lot of pain."
Jackson's girlfriend didn't want to show her face on camera out of fear. Just across the driveway, Harold Watters' family, including his young grand children were witnessing a homicide.
"Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. And my daughter grabbed my grandson and just ran him right down the stairs there then she had to come back up here and told my grand daughter to stay upstairs and lock the door and she called 911," described Harold Watters. He and his family have lived in the neighborhood for around a year.
Other neighbors seem to think this situation was bound to happen.
"We have a lot of drug activity on this street but I heard this was a drug house, I'm not sure."
Donmarquis Jackson was on parole for drug related charges. Police still don't know who killed him. If you know anything call Rockford Police or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers.

Visser brace inspires Scotland victory
7:00am Saturday 16th June 2012 in National Sport © Press Association 2014
Tim Visser got his international career off to a perfect start as his two tries helped Scotland to a hard-fought 37-25 victory over Fiji, their second of the tour.
Scotland led 24-11 at half-time in blistering heat in Lautoka thanks to tries from Greig Laidlaw and Visser which sandwiched a penalty try.
Fiji, for whom Josefa Domolailai crossed in the first period, fought back after the break and got scores from Waisea Nayacalevu and Metuisela Talebula, which put them within two points at 27-25 with 12 minutes to play. But Visser claimed his second try eight minutes from the end and Laidlaw converted, taking his personal tally to 22, to settle Scotland nerves.
Fiji took the lead with two early penalties from Jonetani Ralulu before Scotland at last managed to show what they have been threatening all season with a flowing move that sent the ball both ways before Visser, on his debut, was sent clear on the left. He had support inside and though Al Kellock was caught a yard short, Laidlaw was there to pick up and dive over.
Two minutes later, they were at it again. This time is was Max Evans, the wing, who was stopped short. Fiji killed the ball, and from the resulting penalty Scotland went for the scrum, drove almost to the line and were awarded a penalty try when Fiji illegally kicked the ball out inches before it crossed the line.
Laidlaw converted both but it was not the start of a Scottish try-fest, the next score coming at the opposite end of the park where scrum-half Nikola Matawalu nipped through the side of a ruck and slipped the ball inside to Domolailai, the replacement flanker, who was waiting to crash over.
Ralulu missed the conversion, and Scotland were able to stretch their lead with a Laidlaw penalty before the moment all Scottish fans had been waiting for - Visser's first try in Scotland colours. It was set up by another immense scrum drive, before the ball was released wide and Nick De Luca gave him the sort of space that he was never going to squander.
Laidlaw extended the lead with a penalty after the break.They needed it too as Watisoni Votu made a superb solo break to create the threat, finished on the other side of the field by Nayacalevu.
A high kick was tapped back to support and centre Vereniki Goneva raced through the Scotland defence before finding Talebula, for a run to the line from a move that had started on their own 22.
Fiji then failed to handle a high kick under pressure from Matt Scott, which presented Visser with simple run-in for his second try, to wrap up a nervy but satisfying win for Scotland.

Statement of Candidacy
Every single person on Earth has their own unique trait through which they can help society. It is each individual's job to find what that trait is. I think I've found mine. As vague as it seems, I have a knack for thinking of ideas that could make things better. Whether it's the layout of my room, my daily schedule, the structure of this very sentence, or the health of another person, I try to optimize the subject's performance whenever it is possible. This ideology has resulted in very positive results in the past. As the secretary of National Honors Society at my high school, our chapter recorded its highest fundraiser totals as well as its highest food pantry donation totals in its existence. The improvements I want to see Loyola make by the end of this year are described by my 5-step plan called GLOBE:
GLOBE: Grants, Life, Orientation, Bridge, Evaluation
1. Grants: Provide grants to students who can provide a legitimate case to conduct experiments with a willing professor. Breakthroughs bring media attention.
2. Life: Improve student life primarily inspired by ideas students give to me or anyone else in the committee.
3. Orientation: Make adjustments to the orientation schedule for future students. Specifically, more time for scheduling classes and learning how to use Locus and less time for promotional videos.
4. Bridge: Construct a pedestrian bridge to cross Sheridan. Being late to class is painful. And jaywalking across Sheridan the equivalent of flashing gang signs at night on the south side of Chicago.
5. Evaluation: Develop a top of the line system that will take student reviews into account when deciding the longevity of professors at this university.
As a member of my High School's debate team for the past four years, I have the skills to help make these ideas a reality in our daily lives here at Loyola University. So when and if someone votes for me, they don't just vote for Siv, they vote for the GLOBE.

MOORESVILLE – If Steve Turner wasn't pleased with the number of trophies his race team had before 2012 began, he should be in better spirits now.
Turner, the owner of Mooresville-based Turner Motorsports, a NASCAR Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series team, enjoyed unparalleled success in 2012.
James Buescher, 22, won the Camping World Truck Series championship, four Truck Series races, and a Nationwide race on Feb. 25 at Daytona International Speedway.
Buescher didn't have a win to his credit when he began the season. Even the rough times Buescher had – two mid-season finishes outside the top 20 – were no cause for concern.
"A lot of the problems we had were out of our control," he said.
What was in his control – driving and good communication – propelled him to the title.
Buescher wasn't the only Turner driver to make a splash.
Nelson Piquet Jr., a 27-year-old former Formula One driver, won two Truck Series races and a Nationwide race at Road America despite being just two years removed from his NASCAR debut.
Piquet said his goal is to collect more trophies.
"I think we should've won even more races than we have," he said. (Circumstances) kept us from getting more."
Other team members also had impact this year.
Justin Allgaier won a Nationwide race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Miguel Paludo won the Truck Series pole at Daytona.
Part-time Nationwide drivers Kasey Kahne and Alex Tagliani also won poles.
Turner made a strong Sprint Cup debut with Bill Elliott at Daytona in July.
The most impressive aspect of Turner's season, Buescher said, was that such a young organization – started in 2009 – came to the forefront so quickly.
Turner, as a team, had only three wins before the 2012 season began. Putting the right drivers with the right crews clearly made a difference.
"Rome wasn't built overnight," Buescher said. " It was a steady, uphill climb."

Welcome to 800NumbersInfo.com!
Being in the business world is like running in a horse race, only there is no finish line. You continuously run to get ahead of your competitors, and you cannot afford to stop or you'll be left behind. You know who your toughest competitors are, the ones who stay really close to you on the racetrack.
So, how do you pull away from your challengers? What is the winning formula in the business horserace? The answer of course lies in the horse you have. Even if you are the top jockey among your competitors, your chances of leading the race will be slim if you don't have the right horse. It will be the one to bring you to success.
In the business world, your communications system is your horse. 800 numbers are the stallions, while traditional phone systems are the ponies. Top companies of today use 800 numbers to reach remarkable business milestones. Get to know all there is about them, from basic information to features to how 800 numbers can help you in running your race. Commonly asked questions are also answered to help you get more familiar with 800 numbers.
If you aim to lead the race, you should get the best stallion there is. Fifteen 800 numbers providers are reviewed to help you choose what's best for you. See which among them wins the race in terms of features, pricing and customer support.
All the information you need to know about 800 numbers is here. Take advantage of the capabilities 800 numbers can give you and compete in the business race with the best service provider.
Marketing Advantages of Having an 800 Number
When it comes to your business, the better your marketing strategy is, the better your chances are in attracting potential customers. Thats why business owners wouldnt hesitate to pay huge bucks on ad campaigns and marketing efforts in order to make their brand more appealing. That, however, is the luxury that large corporations have. Small businesses, on the other hand, need to delve into something more cost-effective.
Toll free numbers, particularly 800 phone numbers are effective and affordable tools in marketing your products and services. These numbers enable your customers to contact you without incurring any unwanted call charges, regardless of their location. Advertisements with an 800 number are proven to bring in more orders than those that dont. And judging from simple human psychology, costumers will always be attracted to anything that is free of charge. Business can take advantage of this human behavior by offering toll free 800 phone numbers so the customer will be enticed to call.
Small business owners can surely benefit from having an 800 phone number. When your target customers see that you have a toll free number in your business cards, pamphlets, brochures and catalogs, they would be motivated to respond and call you right away. It gives your company an image of professionalism and dependability, thus giving your customers the confidence to inquire and subscribe to your products and services. Having a toll free number also decreases product return rate since your customers can just call your hotline if they have queries and problems after buying your product.
Moreover, its a must for every business owner to maintain regular communication with their patrons and customers. Thats where an 800 phone number comes in handy. It enables you and your customers to stay in constant communication. It would also prove that you give emphasis to their inputs and you want to have their continued patronage.
Toll free numbers also allows you to be more creative. Aside from the typical 800 prefix, toll free numbers also have various prefixes such as 866, 888 or even 877. The extended prefixes show that there are enough toll free numbers for businesses to obtain them on demand. 800 vanity numbers, on the other hand, are toll free numbers associated with your product or brand name. If 800 phone numbers can greatly increase your response rate, vanity numbers, being easier to remember, give you an even better chance to be called. Not to mention, a vanity number adds flair and flamboyance to your brand, making it even more attractive to consumers.
With all the toll free number services out there, finding the appropriate provider is not as hard as it used to be. While its true that only large businesses can only afford to offer toll free numbers in earlier years, several factors like competition between phone service providers have resulted in affordable 800 number access for all businesses. With low per minute costs, low operational costs and negligible monthly fees, even small sized companies can avail of an 800 phone number service.

The Central Valley Meat Company, a California meat supplier, is back in business after reports arose last week of inhuman actions towards cows used for slaughter.
We reported last week that In-N-Out severed ties with the slaughter company due to animal cruelty allegations and an undercover video that showed "pre-slaughter cows bleeding and thrashing after failed attempts to render them unconscious using a pneumatic gun." Other accusations included cows struggling to walk or stand, along with the animals being shocked, shot and pulled to slaughter stations.
Well, now the meat supplier is reopened, after agreeing to change how it handles animals.
"The company has committed to a number of corrective actions including additional humane handling training for employees and safeguards to ensure that only ambulatory animals are processed," an agency spokesman said in an email.
Though reopened, providing meat to federal food programs is still not allowed. Furthermore, Central Valley Meat Company is also under investigation for alleged food safety violations.
"We have worked closely with both inspectors and industry experts while developing our USDA-approved action plan," the company revealed. "As a result, Central Valley Meat will provide better training for our workers, better monitoring of our facilities and more frequent third-party audits of our operations."

Indium introduces high-reliability low-voiding flux coating for solder preforms
Press release [Monday 14 October 2013]
Indium Corporation introduces a new, high-reliability, low-voiding flux coating for solder preforms. LV1000 reduces false failures while increasing productivity, throughput yields, and component performance. This new halide-free (ROL0) material is especially suited for assembly processes in which the components don't allow for proper outgassing of volatized flux.
LV1000 provides a durable, level, clear coating that does not clog pick and place equipment, even in automated assembly processes. It offers complete coverage, even with a weight percentage as low as 0.5%.
Flux coatings provide consistent, uniform amounts of flux every time, with excellent control over the flux volume/weight percentage. Indium Corporation flux-coated solder performs come in a variety of packaging and can be color coded. The company's flux coatings are applied to the outside of the preform where the flux is required, rather than in the core.
Indium Corporation is a premier materials manufacturer and supplier to the global electronics, semiconductor, solar, thin-film and thermal management markets. Products include solders, preforms, and fluxes; brazes; sputtering targets; indium, gallium, and germanium metals and inorganic compounds; and NanoFoil. Founded in 1934, Indium has global technical support and factories located in China, Singapore, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the USA.

The score was 4-2 in the end, but it could have been much, much worse for the Swedes. A day after Jonas Hiller nearly stole a victory from Canada, Belarusian goaltender Andrei Mezin almost pulled off another big upset over Sweden. In 2002, Belarus ended a hopeful medal run for Sweden in the quarterfinals and for a short period of time on Friday it looked as if they might do it again. Yet despite a near masterful effort in goal, Belarus was never able to pull close the gap.
Sweden pulled off to an early 2-0 lead in the first period behind goals by Daniel Sedin and Daniel Alfredsson, and it looked as though Sweden would be able to easily skate through another round robin victory. Yet Belarus came out with a much more spirited effort in the in the second period and while the stats were certainly in Sweden's favor (14-6 shots on goal), the actual play on ice was evening up considerably.
A Johan Franzen goal opened up the lead to 3-0, but Dzmitry Maleshka would get Belarus on board late in the second with a big power play goal. Sweden was determined to not let Belarus back into the game, pounding the net with 17 shots in the third period. Yet Mezin would make several highlight-reel saves, giving his team the chance at a comeback and a momentous upset. With Maleshka would score once again midway through the third, it looked as though the Belarusians might actually be able to pull it off and at least tie the game.
Yet Jonas Gustavsson would keep Belarus out of the net for the rest of the game, and Alfredsson would ice the win for Sweden with a final-minute goal.
It was a tough lesson for the Swedes, who are attempting to defend their gold medal against what many consider to be superior teams in Canada and Russia (who lost last night in overtime to Slovakia). But if Sweden hopes to repeat, they'll have to find a way to find better scoring and a much more balanced overall attack, hard as it may seem for a team that has the Sedin twins, Henrik Zetterberg, Johan Franzen and Peter Forsberg.
Sweden plays Finland next, at 12:00 am later Sunday night, Monday morning, to end round robin play.

In its 89-year history, the Kokomo Relays has proven one thing to be a universal truth: The event is larger than any one person, and rain or shine, the show must go on.
And so it did Saturday afternoon at Walter Cross Field, just as the oldest continuous high school track meet in the United States has every spring since 1925.
Visibly absent from the festivities this year was former Kokomo Middle School athletic director and track meet coordinator Dick Christie. After more than two decades with the school corporation, he was honored for his service with a plaque ceremony at last year's relays, an event he coordinated for 22 seasons before retiring from education following the 2011-12 school season.
The revered Christie died in November, and even though he had relinquished his coordinator role, he expected to do volunteer work at future track meets. Not having him there altogether made Kokomo AD Jason Snyder truly see exactly how many burdens Christie shouldered in his time coordinating the Kokomo Relays and the IHSAA boys sectional and regional meets.
"Last year we talked about how selfless he was and how many things he did without letting anyone else know," Snyder said. "We found that out this week and the last couple weeks in setting this meet up. We had a lot of great help, but the things he did, it took four or five people to split up those tasks and do them. We had a great event [Saturday] with great weather and some great athletes. It was a very successful day, but we miss him every day. It was clear that we miss him as a person and as the coordinator of this event."
Crown Point won six events to repeat as the boys champion with 134 points. Kokomo finished second with 103, followed by Western (80.5), Ben Davis (68.5), Marion (48), Northwestern (39), Richmond (37) and Peru (31).
The Bulldogs won three of the five relays, and placed two competitors in the top eight of seven different events.
"We had some adversity [Saturday]," Crown Point coach Keith Iddings said. "Unfortunately one of our kids got injured and another kid got cut in the long jump. Despite things that could've gotten the guys down, they stayed up and competed hard. They were able to come through with the win."
Crown Point was led by junior Zack Seamon, who led three relay teams to victories, and just missed out on a victory in the 1,000-yard run. Western's Matt Grider tumbled over the finish line down the home stretch in the 1,000 in what turned out to be a photo finish between he and Seamon. An IHSAA official reviewed the tape and determined Grider beat Seamon by one one-hundredth of a second, 2:24.94.
Seamon was named the Walter Cross Award recipient for his role in leading CP to the team title. The award is given to the meet's outstanding male and female competitors
"I work pretty hard out there, but I couldn't do it without my teammates," Seamon said. "They definitely push my to do my best, and without them I wouldn't have won this award. We're out there busting out butts every day, pushing each other. And, if one goes down, we're there to pick him up. We're a good team like that."
Kokomo's Waylon Coulter was a double winner, narrowly taking second place in Walter Cross Award voting behind Seamon. He cleared 15-0 in the pole vault to win by six inches, then cleared 6-7 in the high jump to blow away the field, again by six inches.
Darrion McAlister won the discus for the Wildkats with a heave of 161-5, topping his next competitor by nearly 30 feet. He also took second in the shot put at 50-1. 2.5 inches behind the champion, Crown Point's Mitchell Kessler, who put 50-3.5.
"We had a great day. I was very proud of the kids," Kokomo coach Tom Byrnes said. "We had a rough day at practice [Friday] and I was concerned with how we were going to come out. But they came out and competed well. I'm very proud of Waylon. Although he didn't win [the Walter Cross Award], you take a look at [Seamon] and he was on relay teams and Waylon's two first-places were in individual events. That was 20 points right there. Hopefully we can give it a good go next week and have a shot at winning the North Central Conference meet."
Peru's Shane Swinford rounded out the areas winners, clearing 21-0.75 to win the high jump for the Bengal Tigers.
Warsaw's girls won seven of 14 events to repeat as the girls champion with 149 points.
Noblesville finished second with 124 and Kokomo was third with 92.5. Northwestern (52), Marion (43), Western (30.5), Peru (24) and Richmond (14) rounded out the field.
Warsaw scored eight or more points in every event but one, and nearly swept the relay events, winning 4 of 5.
"This one is special because we've had our difficulties this year as everyone has with the weather" Warsaw coach Scott Erba said. "You feel like this is the beginning of the season and yet here it is getting towards the end. It's great to have some good weather finally. We spread the wealth and gave some of the new girls a taste of what it's like to come to the Kokomo Relays and step away as champions."
Four meet records fell on the girls side.
Noblesville junior Rachel Mather set two new marks. She cleared 11 feet, one inch in the pole vault to break the old record of 11-0 set by Western's Nikki McCracken in 2009.
Mather then cleared 5-6 in the high jump to break the previous record of 5-5 set by Northwestern's Kylie Ballard in 2011.
Mather was named the Walter Cross Award winner.
"It means a lot to me just because of how long this meet has been going on," Mather said, noting that former teammate Hellen Willman won the award in 2011. "We had prom [Friday] night so I wasn't running on that much sleep. This is a big confidence boost for me, showing me I can perform well in big meets."
Kokomo finished third, led by double winner Summer Blackamore. Blackamore set a new meet record in the shot put with a heave of 40-6.75, breaking the previous record of Kokomo's Ashley DeWitt, who put 39-2 in 2009.
Blackamore also won the discus with a throw of 121-3, topping Warsaw's Samantha Jansen by an inch.
"My assistant coach Bobby Pettigrew is doing a great job with Summer," Kokomo coach K.O. Jackson said. "Blackamore went out and got two PRs [Saturday]. That's how you get better. I'm very proud of her."
Brianna Lancaster added a second place finish in the high hurdles, as did Anh Pham in the pole vault.
"I'm disappointed," Jackson added. "Third place — we got third place last year. Our target points were 110 and we came up with 92.5. I just need for the girls to get serious. We have to go to a new regional this year in Fort Wayne. We say 'Catch me if you can' and we better start catching people. We didn't catch them at our place. That's hard to take but we'll keep working at it."
Northwestern junior Amber Miller added a first-place finish in the long jump, clearing 17-2.
Noblesville's Kendra Foley set the final new meet record of the day in the 1,000-yard run in 2:44.56, topping Willman's mark of 2:45.83 set in 2011.
Western was led by a pair of third-place finishes. Erin Knepley took third in the 1,000-yard run in 2:55.74, while Nicole Hampshire took third in the 3,200-meter run in 12:33.01.
"We had a group of about 10 freshmen and sophomores and a senior going against Noblesville and Warsaw, who have some of the best programs in the state," Western coach Joni McCracken said. "Our girls came right in behind those teams and really embraced the competition and stepped up to their level. I'm proud of the girls and how they seized that opportunity to compete against teams on that level. This gives us a lot to look forward to. We have girls with a ton of bright futures and we're excited about what they'll do in the next couple of years."
