Twisters are rated number one
The Torrington Twisters won their sixth tournament of the season, and fifth straight, this past weekend and moved up to number one in the nation according to the USSSA. There are 681 teams in USSSA's 16 and under B national power ranking.
The Twisters started off this past Saturday with a win over the Rapid City Rage 12-1. They followed that up with a 9-0 win over the Ft Collins Stars. Shaylee Rickard pitched a perfect game in the second contest. The third pool game Saturday against the Billings Shockers was rained out in the second inning with the Twisters leading 1-0.
The two wins gave the Twisters the top seed in the Gold Bracket Sunday. The first game saw the Twisters win over the Rapid City Sizziles 14-0. Mikayla Butler pitched a near perfect game allowing just one walk.
In the semifinal's the Twisters defeated Rapid City Wild 11 to 1. T The win advanced the Twisters to the championship game against the Colorado Stampede.
The Twisters jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. They added two more runs in the second frame to extend their lead to 4-0. The Stampede broke through with a run in the sixth. But in the top of the 7th the Twisters responded with one of their own to make it 5-1 and that is how the game ended.
The Twisters are now 51-5, with 26 of the wins by shutout. They also have a 30 game win streak and have won 42 out of their last 43 games.
The Twisters are in Brighton, Colorado this weekend and play their first game at 8 a.m. Saturday. This is the Twisters last regular season tournament.
The Twisters will then go to the Nebraska ASA State Tournament, followed by the Wyoming/Colorado USSSA State Tournament. That will be followed by USSSA World Series in Tulsa, OK and ASA National Tournament in Pekin, IL.

This could be titled the problem with Hollywood full stop. They tend to exaggerate, sanitize or make up things that do not exist in so many films about real people. Sad but to be expected.
Jessica Blatt and I wrote a piece for Al Jazeera America suggesting that more than the posturing of various rightwing and conservative politicians, what will be more lasting will be the mythmaking by Hollywood of Nelson Mandela. Of the 16 films which feature Mandela as a character, we make particular reference to two–"Invictus" and "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" (the latter being released nationally here in the US on Christmas Day)–that reinforce the particular brands of mythmaking and historical revisionism that have marred much of the discussion of Mandela in the days since his passing. Here's the section on "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom":
… "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" covers Mandela's whole life. Appearing now in limited release and set to open in theaters nationwide on Christmas, the film got what The New York Times called a "macabre assist" from Mandela's death. It comes with the imprimatur of the Mandela family, has broken box-office records in South Africa and is being touted as an Oscar contender (for Idris Elba in the leading role). Critics have called it Shakespearean and praised the lead performances as astounding and magnificent.
We admit it's a powerful film. Unfortunately, much of it is pure fabrication. Just this weekend, the Nelson Mandela Foundation, which archives Mandela's personal papers, said the film contains numerous errors. Dramas take dramatic license, but the film strives for realism. (Most of the time, anyway. By the end, makeup artists have thickened Elba's forehead to the point that he looks more like a Klingon than the Mandela of recent years.)
More important than the inaccuracies (and makeup malfunctions) is what the film erases. Among its elisions are the Cold War, communism (the South African Communist Party recently confirmed that Mandela was indeed a member, which had been something of an open secret for years), U.S. support for apartheid and the apartheid state's sponsorship of so-called black-on-black violence in the 1980s and early 1990s. (In the film, it seems that Winnie Mandela, painted as an irrational, Lady Macbeth–like character, was the cause of the violence, which in fact resulted from clashes between forces aligned with the African National Congress and state-funded proxy organizations like the nominally Zulu nationalist Inkatha.)
Perhaps the most egregious misrepresentation, though, is that the film separates Nelson Mandela from the movement that produced him. In reality, the ANC — and the struggle it fought for social justice — relied on collective and collaborative leadership; Mandela was chosen by committee to be the international face of the movement. The film mutes Mandela's main collaborators (Walter Sisulu, Joe Slovo and Oliver Tambo key among them) and collapses a complex movement into Nelson Mandela (good and forgiving) versus Winnie Mandela (bad and violent). Along with all the mythmaking around Nelson Mandela that has accompanied his passing, these films cement the idea that freedom is made by great, singular men. And everyone seems to think the days of such men are over. As Barack Obama predictably lamented, "We will not likely see the likes of Nelson Mandela again."
The problem is, this gets it exactly backward. The fact is, movements make Mandelas, not the other way around.
Read the rest of the piece here.
This could be titled the problem with Hollywood full stop. They tend to exaggerate, sanitize or make up things that do not exist in so many films about real people. Sad but to be expected.
Although I agree with you that Hollywood gets it wrong, I think it's "unfair" to expect them to get anything about us — or any people for that matter — right. Fiction is what Hollywood does. Expecting otherwise would be — I dare say — naive. But the news media! That's worse beast, for it presents stories about us to be truth. Either way, this is more of the reason why we Africans need to take charge in telling our stories.
Saying that ANC produced Mandela is about as accurate as saying jailtime produced Mandela.
It is easy to argue both points.
The contrast between Winnie and Nelson Mandela and the different paths they chose is too apparent to ignore and very tempting to blow up by anyone writing the story of Nelson Mandela and South Africa. The complexities behind it may be given less airtime.
Hollywood never make credible biopics but they are good at propaganda. Don't expect anything more and you may avoid being disappointed.
I would suggest that "Twelve Years A Slave" (admittedly not Hollywood) constitutes an alternative to typical Hollywood-style hagiography.

I know you people aren't stupid. I know you've seen or heard of Austin Rivers' performance last night. And I think the question on many of our minds is, "is there any chance we see him in a Timberwolves uniform next season?"
DraftExpress.com has Rivers going 18th to Portland, and currently have our Pups at the 21st spot (Utah's pick). His stock will more than likely rise after last night's incredible performance, but there are some issues with the Duke freshman. He is frequently labeled as selfish. Obviously every outstanding player has to have a little bit of selfishness in him, or else he wouldn't be a diaper dandy on one of the nation's elite teams. But the great players know where to draw the line. Rivers sometimes takes too much upon himself and forces up a lot of shots. That being said, last night was the perfect dose of selfishness. The kid can straight up ball.
Another issue is his defense. This Duke team is being heralded as Coach K's worst defensive team in his long tenure in Durham. Rivers could be considered the worst offender of the group. I realize that there isn't a whole lot of defense played in the NBA (see Kurt Rambis' Wolves), but it seems as if Rick Adelman has his boys taking pride on the defensive end, which can translate into exciting games to watch and wins.
His three-point shooting was also a question mark, but he pretty much silenced those critics last night (isn't that right, Tyler Zeller).
In my opinion, Rivers is and extremely talented player with an incredibly high ceiling. He would fill a need and do a nice job offensively. On the contrary, he more than likely will not fall to us unless he chokes in March, which would make us question if we would even want him anyway. I also don't think he would fit in with this group of players. This is an unselfish team (with the exception of "B-Easy" most of the time) that likes to hustle and play defense. Rivers just wouldn't mesh with these guys (although I'm sure he'd love having Rubio dishing him the rock). Throwing all of this out the window, I trust that Rick Adelman...and I guess David Kahn, will make the right decision come draft day. Feel free to express your opinions on Doc's kid in the comments.

(KATV) Sherwood - With Thanksgiving just around the
corner, for some kids the vacation away from school means they will be hungry.
That's why kids at William Jefferson Clinton Elementary collect food for their
The Pulaski County Special School
District (PCSSD) has Home and School Consultants. They help fill that gap for
needy students but could not believe how much food kids helped collected this
Erika Mitchell has a 'uniform closet';
everyday kids go to her needing shoes, coats, toiletries and after school snacks.
She explains, "The majority of their meals are breakfast and lunch here at the
school. So we try to help out with that at home."
Mitchell is the PCSSD Home and
School consultant for the school. She says, "This year we had more children
identified as homeless in our system." There are about 800 Pre-K through
5th graders there. Last year students and staff made food boxes for 200 of the
student's. Each box contains ingredients for a full Thanksgiving meal, but this
year they needed more. She proudly announces, "We have exceeded our goal. We
will feed more than 300 families for Thanksgiving."
Fifth grader, Syann Tenpenny, 10,
went above and beyond. For two weeks she stood outside grocery stores asking
for donations. Mitchell smiles, "This is the first time this has ever happened.
She got 1,914 can good all by herself."
Syann says she can't imagine not
knowing where her next meal is coming from and it is the least she could do. She
says, "I want to bless people."
It's people like Erika Mitchell
and Syann Tenpenny that the Spirit of Arkansas is all about.
Syann single-handedly won the
pizza party for her class.
Staff will begin handing out food
boxes on Monday.
Clinton Elementary also has an
angle tree at the school. Every angel is a student that needs a gift for Christmas.

News: Wale On Ending Kid Cudi Feud, "The Closer You Are W/ Somebody The Worse The Fights Be"
Wednesday, Mar 23, 2011 9:40PM
Maybach Music Group's Wale recently opened up about ending his public feud with Kid Cudi and why their close knit friendship went awry last year.
While brief with his words, Wale confirmed they were back on speaking terms.
"We're close friends, and the closer friends you are with somebody the worse the fights [can] be," Wale said in an interview with Free. "We squashed it. Everything good. He good, he good. He's taking care of his kid, working hard, working on his new album. He's working with a lot of the same people, he got a lot of new faces. His circle is significantly smaller, but sometimes that's what you need to do, reevaluate your circle." (WPGC 95.5)
In late February, Cudi publicly reached out to Wale.
"@wale yooo," he tweeted. "its never too late to make things right" (Kid Cudi's Twitter)
Wale responded back and confirmed the beef was officially dead.
"@wizardcud yo," Wale replied back. "@wizardcud we back cuz ... GOOD x MMG ...of course" (Wale's Twitter)
Cudi sparked tensions toward Wale by calling him out in an interview last year.
"I really don't understand what's up with this guy, but he's just somebody I don't click with anymore. I started making changes in my life and started to realize positive energy around me, and he never really had a good energy. I never felt like he wanted to see me prosper, it was just one of those n*ggas that was envious rather than happy for a n*gga. I could be reading it wrong, but I'm not making beef and rearranging my life. It's pretty obvious he feels some type of way about it. I'm not into peer mediation and working things out, I'm just trying to provide for my daughter and my family and making music for my fans. I vibe with certain people and some people I don't." (Complex)

Now that the NFL labor negotiations are finally getting back on track I wanted to make a list of off-season moves that I think would benefit the Miami Dolphins. When things finally get settled there will no doubt be little time to sign free agents before the season begins. I tend to have a big picture outlook when it comes to the improvement of a team. I do not subscribe to the "WIN NOW" philosophy. I am desperately hoping that our teams future outlook will not be jeopardized by a coaching regime's attempt to stave off termination with stop gap measures. So with that fine intro (pats self on back) I will get to my player moves
Depth Chart: Chad Henne, Tyler Thigpen
Roster Moves: assign Tom Brandstater to the Practice Squad
Sign: N/A I previously did want the Phins to sign Pat Devlin as a UDFA but after reading this article about his Pro day I say "no mas" Scroll down to Delaware
Analysis: As you can see no major changes were made. Some will say after a sub par season that Henne should not be given the reigns to this team that is most definitely not a 7-9 team talent wise. I am by no means a die hard Henne supporter but we do need to take into account the current NFL season. There just isn't enough time to bring in a high priced free agent QB to learn the offense. This season is going to be a sink or swim scenario for Chad Henne. Either he proves that he has what it takes to be our starting QB or he leads this team to another dreadful season ushering in a new era of Dolphins football. Which of course could be lead by one of 3 very promising future NFL QB's in Andrew Luck, Matt Barkley and Landry Jones.
Depth Chart: Daniel Thomas, Lex Hilliard, Noel Devine, Lousaka Polite
Roster Moves: Allow Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams to enter free agency
Sign: Noel Devine UDFA, sign Derrick Locke to the PS
Analysis: Yep everyone say goodbye to the RnR Express. If the pathetic rushing numbers didn't convince you that a change needed to happen then just look at their age and cap numbers. The youth movement is on and damn it looks promising. Daniel Thomas looks to be exactly as advertised. A powerful 2 down back that will move the chains and most likely have a nice YPC average. A good pick IMO. Will this be the year that Lex Hilliard will finally be allowed to show what he can offer? I sure hope so. A GM will be hard pressed to find a RB as versatile as Lex. He is a strong runner between the tackles that hit's the hole quickly with little wasted movement. He has shown to possess solid hands out of the backfield and an ability to play FB reasonably well. Now onto a sexy pick!! If you didn't know lemme tell you Noel Devine is a game breaker! He did not run at the combine since he was nursing a minor injury but he did post a 40 yd dash of 4.26 and 4.38 seconds at his Pro Day. Those times would have ranked him either in 1st or 2nd place at the Combine depending on which time you take.I HIGHLY recommend you watch his HS football vid's on Youtube They are great watch. He will undoubtedly become a lethal 3rd down back and return man. How often will team's gameplan for a team's 3rd RB? That means opportunity for Noel Devine. Polite is on notice as of right now. He was downright AWFUL last year in pass pro and in run blocking. He can't expect to make this team solely on his stellar short yardage conversion rate.
Depth Chart: Brandon Marshall, Devon Bess, Edmund Gates, Brian Hartline, Roberto Wallace
Roster Moves: Sadly cut Marlon Moore since I don't think he will be eligible for the PS. Sign UDFA Tori Gurley to the PS and UDFA Dane Sanzenbacker.
Analysis: Pretty straightforward here. We have a very solid WR core with multiple WR's that excel in specific roles. We solved our biggest problem area in drafting WR Ed Gates out of Abilene Christian. Now it just remains to be seen if Chad Henne can actually get the ball into his hands. One key positional battle in training camp will be between Brian Hartline, Roberto Wallace and Marlon Moore. Some think that Hartline is a lock to make the team since he was a starter last year. I don't think it will be that easy. He is coming off a season ending injury and will have to deal with 2 talented WR in their own right. Wallace has the measurable that you can't find off the street and Marlon Moore is the definition of smooth. In the end I think Hartline makes it and Wallces edges out Marlon due to his solid ST's play. We're gonna miss him
Depth Chart: Anthony Fasano, Bo Scaife, Wesley Saunders
Roster Moves: Cut Joey Haynos, Cut Jeron Mastrud, , Sign Bo Scaife, Sign UDFA TE Wesley SaundersAssign Dedrick Epps to PS, Assign Charles Clay to the PS
Analysis: So Fasano got a brand new contract during the season last year. I consider him to be a ideal complimentary TE to pair up with superstar TE. Paying him as one when he doesn't have the stats to back it up doesn't make sense to me but what do I know? Lets bid against ourselves!!!! Whew that rant has been building a long time… Anyway back on topic. Bo Scaife is a solid TE that can help equally well in the pass and run game. Think a slightly better David Martin. He would be a nice addition only if the price is right. Now this guy I want as a priority UDFA (PIC) Wesley Saunders is a knucklehead but a TALENTED knucklehead. Saunders is a 6'5 270 lb. TE beast of a TE. Guy looks like a small LT but he has the skills to contribute as a WR. He was dismissed from S. Car, for lying to the NCAA about trips paid for by agents. IMO that is not so bad since he was going to get penalized either way if he admitted to it or not. This guy has superstar potential and at the very least will be a solid blocking TE. His hands are also freakishly large. That has to help right? Oh and I didn't list Zach Miller because he won't get out of Oakland.
Depth Chart: Starters: Jake Long, Mike Pouncey, Richie Incognito, John Jerry, Marshall Yanda,
Reserves: Nate Garner OG/OT, Lydon Murtha OT, Pat McQuistan G/T, Jake Kirkpatrick C
Roster Moves: Sign Marshall Yanda, Trade/Cut Vernon Carey, Cut Joe Berger, Sign UDFA Jake Kirkpatrick, Sign UDFA OT Jarriel King to the PS
Analysis: With the 16th pick in the 2011 the Miami Dolphins take John Stamos' brotherrrrr… So yeah we took a guard with our first pick in the draft. There's that… 'cough' Well since we didn't address the Vernon Carey situation then we need to do it in free agency. Matty explained his situation perfectly righ here I think he's done and we could use the cap room foooooor Marshall Yanda! Matty came through again with some awesome linkage showing just how good Yanda is. Luckily for us we have our choice between him and another talented RT in Tyson Clabo. Both are immediate upgrades over Carey. The edge goes to Yanda since he is only 26 years old. Which means he may not even have hit his peak. I like Incog's at center and Jerry and Garner will fight it out at RG. I'd prefer it if Jerry beats him out so we can use Garner as a super sub. Jake Kikpatrick is a very talented center and I'm very surprised he went undrafted. He could be a sneaky good acquisition
Okay there it is. That is my entire offseason wish list for the offense. All comments and opinions are welcome as well as any improvements that you would add. "If you like what you see put a REC on it"

The GOP needs to be Ousted on Tuesday - Go Vote!
I have to make a correction... I meant to say anything dealing with division of ideas, morals, and values into political parties.
Did you know that J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were good friends? Tolkien was known to accuse C.S. Lewis of writing too hastily. And C.S. Lewis would tell Tolkien he took too much time to get things written.
There were 5 of them... called the inksters. All of them would get together and read to each other pieces of literature they were currently working on. I can't remember who the other 3 were.
C.S. Lewis had to prod Tolkien along to do the work of finalizing his story, getting a publisher and getting it out to the market.
So we may have C.S. Lewis to thank for badgering Tolkien about this.
I'm not saying Tolkien was lazy... maybe that part of the job is not the most fun thing to do for some writers. But I think more probable is that he was a perfectionist and didn't want to put it out until he was convinced it was perfect, which might have never happened without C.S. Lewis as his friend.
Yup... it's ugly. I'm aware of all the corruption... I can't stand seeing
Tom DeLay's face on TV, and I can't tell which has been more annoying and
tiring... listening to the latest OJ saga, or what's going on with Foley
It's embarrassing as an American. (The Halliburton deal really gets me.
That's our money their wasting... more than $1 billion so far... money we go
to work for every day. The incompetence of our elected officials is
So... ok... this is the last thing I have to say about the deal... I
promise, because I can hardly take any more of it.
I'm not commenting about one party or another. They all suck ass in my
I don't care about party affiliation anymore. I don't care about
republicans, democrats, independents, or anything dealing with division of
ideas, morals, and values.
Just my personal view about what one guy said... how shockingly stupid of a
thing that was said, and all the negativity in general going on in
Washington. It makes no difference to me what party Kerry affiliates with.
I've lost respect for the whole lot of them.
Our "leaders" in Washington can't get along with each other, even amongst
their own parties. They simply can not do it. They refuse to do it.
And I'm tired of it. But it's my own fault for listening to too much news,
as I'm trying to pay attention to this election cycle.
I shouldn't have said anything. It was just so bizarre when I got home and
saw this on the news. But that's it for me, because it's only spreading
more negativity. That's why I hardly talk about this stuff anyway.
That said, I really do wish God would pay Capitol Hill a visit and give em'
all a swift kick in the ass.
Now I have some Dead tunes to burn to CD... which is a much better use of
The zealous right wingers out there implying, or outright stating, that these recent scandals involving the republican party are some kind of leftist media conspiracy to affect the upcoming elections aren't fooling anyone but others such as yourselves, who will clearly never vote anything but republican, no matter what the republicans in office do. I notice you don't question the validity of these reports. And what of the other republican scandals from well before the elections? You know like the ones involving Jack Abramoff, Tom Delay, Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney, etc., etc., etc. Not to mention an administration which continually lied to the nation and the whole world about aluminum tubes from Afica and WMD's in Iraq to start an unjust war resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocent Iraqis and Americans; and a spineless congress that rubber stamps whatever the administration wants. And they want to condemn the entire Democratic Party for a verbal faux pas by John Kerry? Please. Be it months before the election, during the election or after the election the republicans in charge are scumbags who are only in it for themselves and just fill peoples' heads with propaganda to try to convince them otherwise.
There has been much talk about the Republican "base" of Evangelical voters and Christian conservatives banding their flocks together to keep Republicans in power this election. However, many of them are starting to wake up to the fact that they are being used on a grand scale. And yet there are still those who are "asleep at the pew" and ready to vote Republican on baseless moral grounds. I have a question I would love to ask of all the religious wingnuts. If their mythology is true and Jesus decided to come back tomorrow, how do they think George W. Bush, his demonic administration, and Republican enablers in Congress would react? A) Would they allow a peace loving, liberal, hippie to make peace on Earth and all men and women to be equal? OR B)Go to war with God to maintain their power, control, and fortunes? They know the answer would be (B)! So my next question would be... Doesn't that make him the Antichrist according to their mythology??? No wonder they call it a "flock!" It's hard for a president to convince anyone he is pro-life when it comes to banning stem cell research while thousands are being sent to their deaths in Iraq. It is also ironic that the very party that puts forth a homophobic agenda turns out to be full of closeted homosexuals and pedophiles. It's not what you say, it's what you do. For real Christians and people of faith the mantra for the next election cycles should be, "It's the hypocrisy stupid!" We have all heard the acronym, "WWJD - What would Jesus Do," but a more suitable acronym in this age of hypocrisy would be, "WWTDTJ - What would They Do to Jesus!"

Air defense soldiers get an escort to the airport before a year-long deployment to Washington D.C.
More than 50 members of the 1st battalion 188th Air Defense Artillery Regiment have a caravan of supporters on the road to the airport.
Sunday morning around nine o'clock the Patriot Guard led the way.
The unit is flying to Ft. Bliss Texas--then on to Washington D.C.
The North Dakota Army National Guard soldiers will be protecting the airspace around the nation's capital.
This is the most deployed unit in the Guard.
Several members have previously served overseas in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo.
An advance group of soldiers left last week.
As families, friends and loved ones gather to give their final wave goodbye, we talk with one mother who is having an emotional Mother's Day.
Darcy Schmidt has to say goodbye to not one but two sons.
Her twin 19-year-olds, Alex and Brennan Johnson, are deploying on their first mission since joining the Guard.
Their dad has been to Iraq twice.
Darcy has her daughter Grace and her husband here for support, but it's not been an easy day on mom.
"Just feel like they're my babies and it's Mother's Day and I won't see them for awhile, so I'm just sad, I'll miss them, but I'm happy for them, I'm happy for this experience for them." says Darcy Schmidt, mother of deploying twins.

Benefits of using Fuel Injector Cleaner for my Toyota Vios VVT-i Engine
I've just done my first major service (40,000KM) at Toyota Service Centre at Prai, Butterworth. Other than normal replacement of those air element filter, engine oil, oil filter, brake oil and many more with the Advanced Max Check, for the first time I've being introduce to Fuel Injector Cleaner by the Service Centre. This small bottle of Fuel Injector Cleaner cost around RM42 by Toyota. This Fuel Injector Cleaner is to be poured inside the petrol tank and mixed together with petrol. Based on the instruction label behind the bottle, 1 bottle is to be used with less than 35 liters of petrol. For more than 35 liters, 2 bottles would be needed.
According to the Toyota Service guy who served me at that moment, the Fuel Injector Cleaner helps to clean up the injection nozzles, intake valves, combustion chambers and spark plugs from carbons in our engine. Our engine's injection nozzles, intakes valves, combustion chambers and spark plugs are contaminated with carbons throughout the usage of impurities petrols in Malaysia.
Benefits of Fuel Injector Cleaner on:
- Injection Nozzles – remove deposits from injection nozzle, prevent poor combustion and restores engine performance.
- Combustion Chambers – removes deposits from the combustion chambers, and minimize engine knocking.
- Intake Valves – removes deposits from intake valves, and achieve better accelerator response.
- Spark Plugs – removes carbon accumulated on the spark plugs, prevent misfiring and provides better engine start-up.
So, when are we supposed to use Fuel Injector Cleaners? How do we know when our intake valves, combustion chambers, spark plugs and injection nozzles are contaminated with carbons?
A sign that our Fuel Injectors are dirty is when our car has insufficient power, poor fuel economy, slow engine responsiveness, engine noise and rough idling. This is the time where we should use Fuel Injector Cleaner. I've read up some forums stated that typical car moving in Malaysia should use Fuel Injector Cleaner for every 20,000KM to 30,000KM in order to achieve optimum results.The carbons take at least 20,000KM to build up in our engine's injectors. So, it would not give any effect if we use Fuel Injector Cleaner too frequently.
After fill up the Toyota Fuel Injector Cleaner, I can feel my Toyota Vios is more responsive and 'lighter'. Great stuff is in my car :) I shall monitor the mileages and update again here.

By Andrew Restuccia - 05/10/11 06:53 PM EDT
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday he intends to begin floor debate later in the day on a bill to cut billions of dollars in tax breaks for the largest oil companies. Reid said he hopes to vote on the bill "in the next week."
"Common sense tells us that those companies do not need these subsidies," Reid told reporters in the Capitol.
Democrats unveiled legislation earlier Tuesday that would cut a slew of tax breaks for the five largest oil companies. The bill would save $21 billion over ten years. The savings would go to deficit reduction, not investments in clean energy programs, as Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) had proposed.
Here's more on the bill.

Number of ratings 3 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Easy to pass the class but have to study. Could just read the book and pass but she takes attendance. There is a project but can be done in an hour. Don't have to by the book cause she puts everything on the slides which is a plus if you dont go to class.
This is my second time taking her and she's awesome. Requires you go to class since attendance is part of your grade which sucks. Not an easy class but she's willing to help if you ask. Project is easy. But have to study for tests.
Ms. Marasi is real cool. Slides get kinda boring, but she does her best to keep the class entertaining by group activities and random funny questions at the beginning of class. This isnt a blow off class, As are hard to come by but Bs are reasonably attainable. Lots of bonus opportunities and Marasi definitely gets my vote for a pepper.

CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WECT) - The Carolina Beach Boardwalk Makeover Group is changing its focus.
For the past five years, the group has been working to revitalize the boardwalk at the beach.
Volunteers spent countless hours making improvements to the area, which included repainting buildings, picnic tables and park benches, as well as adding signage and better landscaping.
The venture helped attract more businesses to the boardwalk.
The group has also planned special events to bring visitors to Carolina Beach, including Tuesday Family Night, Wednesday Bingo, Thursday Night Entertainment and Christmas By The Sea.
At its meeting Tuesday night, Carolina Beach town leaders heard from Dan Wilcox, a former member of council, who spearheaded efforts to beautify the boardwalk.
Wilcox said the Makeover Group is changing its name to Carolina Beach Downtown Initiative. He said they are continuing their efforts on the boardwalk. However, they're also extending their focus to the rest of the downtown district, by adding new lamppost fixtures, cigarette butt canisters and billboards.
To kick off their new efforts, they're meeting from 2-5 p.m. on Feb. 17 at the Lazy Pirate.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is joining 38 other states in sharing information about when hunting and fishing licenses are suspended.
The Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact recognizes license suspensions of member states.
Any person whose license privileges are suspended in one compact member state will have his or her licenses suspended in all other states that belong to the compact.
Vermont's chief game warden, Col. David LeCours, says the compact is an added deterrent for Vermonters who might be tempted to violate fish and wildlife laws at home and then expect to hunt, fish or trap in other states.

Although the Sharon Country Day Camp began during the early 1960s, some new visitors were unsure where they were this spring.
"When parents come down here that are coming down for the first time, one of their first reactions when they see all these cabins and so forth (is), 'Is this an overnight camp? Is this a residential camp?'" Camp Director Charlie Hershman said during a recent interview.
"We have to explain to them that physically, we're very much like an overnight, residential camp. Except our day starts at 8:30 a.m. and winds up at 4 p.m."
Camp opened Monday at Sharon Country Day, at 691 Common St., Walpole, off Route 1 on the Sharon line.
More than 200 kids ages 4 to 14 are expected to participate over the eight-week season, which runs June 27 to Aug. 19, said Hershman, whose family founded, owns and operates the camp.
That Sharon Country Day offers a wide variety of activities surprises some people.
"We put on two musicals over the course of the summer. We are a sports-oriented camp," Hershman said.
"Sometimes, people will be, 'Gee, I didn't know you did musical theater.' We do it, and we do it very well."
Native American culture, music and environment lessons have "become very, very popular, especially among our younger children," he said. The camp also has a teepee.
"I don't know of many camps that have a Native American program," Hershman said.
Arts and crafts, gymnastics and dance are among the camp's other popular activities, he said.
Sports are popular as well.
The camp offers tennis and archery, among others, and holds basketball and soccer clinics, Hershman said. The camp's waterfront hosts activities, too.
And the camp has had a ropes course since the late 1980s, Hershman said.
Karl Rohnke, a founder of Project Adventure, designed the course, he said. The camp had only low elements back then.
"He came down and convinced me," Hershman said.
"He said, 'Charlie, we have something for your children that's going to make a big difference in their lives.' And it was a very simple thing. (With) a zip line, you climb a tree, 70 feet up, hook up and come down and you land in the pond."
"Children look at it: 'I've got to climb this tree. I can't do it. That's one of the first things.' What do they find out? They can."

Hypoglycemia Signs
- Weakness, shaking, or unsteadiness
- Lethargy or unresponsiveness
- Seizures
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood glucose levels fall below normal. Very low levels of blood glucose result in a lack of energy source in the blood to properly support the body's cells. Hypoglycemia can be life threatening, so knowing and watching for signs of hypoglycemia is important.
Common Causes of Hypoglycemia
|Accidental administration of too much insulin
|Not enough food intake with or prior to insulin administration
|Vomiting prior to insulin injection
|Unusually high amounts of exercise or activity
What To Do If You Suspect Hypoglycemia
Always have corn syrup, table syrup, honey, or sugar dissolved in water on hand. If your pet is hypoglycemic, your goal is to bring its blood glucose back to a safe level. Follow hypoglycemia instructions your vet provided to you and continue to observe your pet. Contact your veterinarian.
Many pet owners find it helpful and comforting to have a blood glucose monitor at home to measure their pet's blood glucose if they suspect hypoglycemia. Click here to learn more about measuring blood glucose at home.

So I've finally accepted it. Jon Jones is a jerk. I held out past the pot snitching comments, autographing memorabilia as the champ before he fought Shogun, the drama surrounding Rashad including the fake injury, the horrible Bud commercial, the fake personality, all that, but then last weeks dougie video put me over the top. Not only is he combining his jerkness with reigning king of jerk Urijah Faber, but they are dancing in an RV w/ their shirts off! His facial expression remind me of non other than LeBron James.
Both these guys seem completely uncomfortable in their own skin. It's understandable as they are both possibly the best athletes in their given sport and have achieved fame at a very young age. Both have natural ability that seems more of a gift than the result of hard work. I'm not saying these guys don't work hard but fact is Jon Jones climbed the mountain with 3-4 years of training and LeBron was a beast straight out of high school. It's no surprise that they are both lacking in maturity and seem extremely socially awkward. Jon Jones just seems to be trying to hard every time you read a quote or see him in front of the camera, it doesn't sound natural to me. LeBron managed to insult not just Cleveland, but the entire nation with the actions surrounding his departure, but to this day seems oblivious to the reasons why he is hated. It's one thing to be like Chael or Brock and push the fans buttons intentionally, but to be so clueless as to how and why you are perceived a certain way is shocking to me. Just look at LeBron's latest comments after losing the finals.
"At the end of the day, all the people that were rooting on me to fail . . . they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today," James said. "They have the same personal problems they had today. I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live. . . . But they have to get back to the real world at some point."
Stephen Colbert responded best,
"Like they say, 'It's not whether you win or lose, but how you disparage the pathetic lives of the little people who make it possible for you to have a career bouncing an inflatable ball.' "
If these two were trying to be the bad guy I would be lmao, but neither of them are, they are simply jerks. So i ask you maniacs, who is the bigger jerk, LeBron James, Or Jon Jones?
{Disclaimer: I am still a fan of Jones in the ring and anticipate rooting for him against Rampage, I have nothing but respect for his fighting ability and consider him to be the future of the sport as well as a staple on my favorite fighters list. He just needs to shut his mouth.}

Chigwell's Ronnie O'Sullivan looking to win his fifth title at The Masters which starts on Sunday at Alexandra Palace
9:00am Friday 10th January 2014 in Sport
Chigwell's Ronnie O'Sullivan will be vying to win his fifth Masters title when the prestigious tournament gets underway at Alexandra Palance on Sunday.
The competition is usually reserved for the 16 top-ranked players but O'Sullivan, rated world number 24, qualified by virtue of winning the World Championships in Sheffield last year.
Rocket Ronnie has been seeded second behind defending champion Mark Selby but Chigwell's prolific potter has been widely installed as the pre-tournament favourite.
He faces debutant Robert Milkins in the first round.
The 38-year-old has won the title four times in the past and were he to add another to his trophy cabinet, O'Sullivan would be only one short of Stephen Hendry's record of six.
The first major snooker tournament of the year, the Masters winner also secures a top prize of £200,000.

They never even responded to my submission. After two years I had to withdraw it and send it elsewhere, wasting valuable time (though at it was accepted at the other journal). Very unprofessional.ReplyDelete
A great journal, in my experience. There are 3 reviewers who do a blind review of the article. Their comments are very detailed and in-depth.ReplyDelete
Anonymous: if you do not receive a confirmation of your subscription, it is possible that they never received it. It happened to me with another journal. So now if I submit an article and they do not send me a confirmation within a week, I write them an e-mail and ask them to confirm that they received it.

Les mandé un artículo en julio del 2009. Me aseguraron de que me iban a dar una respuesta a finales de septiembre. Estamos a finales de marzo. Sigo esperando una respuesta.ReplyDelete

Just to clarify, I did attempt to contact the editor twice to verify whether my article had been received. I never received a response to either query.

I had friend who had the same experience(no answer); but I sent something last summer and the editor got back to me quickly. I think the new editorial leadership is helping improve this journal, after its prestige in the 80s and early 90s. That being said, I was very happy my article was accepted. For a Galdosista, publication here is almost a must.ReplyDelete

Desgraciadamente, esto que cuentan no es raro en publicaciones españolas. No es raro que algunas se guarden material "en reserva" para publicarlo si un año no alcanzan a llenar la revista.ReplyDelete
Me ha ocurrido (con otra revista) que después de casi *cinco* años sin dar señales de vida, van y se descuelgan con la publicación del artículo, sin aviso, sin notas para la revisión, sin envío de pruebas, ni nada. El artículo llevaba tres años publicado en una publicación mucho más prestigiosa. Cuando sus editores se enteraron, el que quedó mal fui yo.
Por esta razón ya no publico en España. Para publicaciones europeas serias, hay que ir a Reino Unido, Holanda o Alemania.Replies

¿Puedes por favor indicar en qué revista te pasó eso para nunca enviar nada?Delete

This journal has changed a lot in the recent years, and not in a good way. There is no blind review any more. Your article gets reviewed by a single person who knows who you are the entire time. It's obvious that the goal of the editors is to weed out submissions by people whose names are not very well-known in the field just yet.ReplyDelete
It's sad to see how the standards of what used to be a great journal have fallen.Replies

I am currently on the Editorial Board of AG, have reviewed quite a few essays, and I have always been sent blind submissions by the Editor, with the author's identifying information removed. If I do happen to know the identity of the author, I always recuse myself. Also, it is inaccurate to state that younger scholars are not published. (Take a look at the TOC of recent issues.)Delete

There were definitely three reviewers for the article I submitted. Two were blind reviewers and then then there were comments from the general editor. I remember it being slow (I had to send a couple of reminders) and I had to do major revisions, but the article was eventually published. The editorial board is composed of important scholars in the field. The journal is still behind (they are still publishing back issues trying to catch up). Perhaps that is part of the problem.ReplyDelete

I can't speak to all of these comments, but many of the above do not describe my experience even remotely. My article was reviewed by at least two individuals. The review was blind. Comments were ample. Response was timely. I would not hesitate to submit another work.ReplyDelete

Former governor William Winter was honored Friday at Millsaps College in Jackson, for the 30th anniversary of the passage of the Education Reform Act of 1982. Many of those who were on the front lines, helping pass that historic piece of legislation, were also present for the occasion.
The moderator of the panel honoring Winter was Charles "Peanut" Overby, former editor of the Clarion Ledger, who led the newspaper to win the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 1983 for it's coverage of the Education Reform Act passage.
"It's great to see you Bert," Overby said to Bert Case. "I remember you were right in the middle of that Education Reform act. We all did it together."
The so called 'Boys of Spring' were also honored for the role they played in getting the Education Reform Act passed, as assistants to Governor Winter.
Andy Mullins, now an assistant to Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones, said Winter gave up his political future for the Education Reform Act.
"Governor Winter kept on and he was willing to sacrifice his political future for the children of Mississippi." said Mullins. "It will be recorded as one of the most significant things that any legislature has ever done in this state."
We asked Winter if Mississippi needs an Education Reform Act of 2012 and if one could be passed.
"I think it would be possible but it would require the same process of developing public support and understanding," said Winter.
The Education Reform Act of 1982 was the first piece of legislation passed in the newly renovated capitol building.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A new study finds out that yoga may help reduce the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University tested an eight week yoga program on a group of women with fibromyalgia, a disorder marked by chronic, widespread pain.
After the program, the women reported significantly less pain, fatigue, and depression than women in a control group, who only got the standard medications used for fibromyalgia. The yoga participants reported 24-percent less pain, 30-percent less fatigue, and 42-percent less depression.

''One on One'' is an American sitcom that aired on Creator/{{UPN}} from 2001 to 2006. It follows sportscaster and ladies' man Flex Washington who, at age 16, had a daughter with his ex-wife Nicole Barnes named Breanna. One day, Breanna, now a teenager, decides to live with him in Baltimore in order to avoid moving to Nova Scotia with her mother. The two soon form an even stronger bond as she enters and explores the pitfalls of high school.
Also along for the ride are Duane Odell Knox, Flex's goofy, short, comedic sidekick and used car salesman, Arnaz Ballard, Breanna's close friend and later boyfriend, and Spirit Jones, her fiery best friend.
Around Season 5, however, [[ExecutiveMeddling the format of the show changed.]] Flex was reduced to a recurring character, and Breanna and Arnaz moved to Los Angeles, and into a house with 4 roommates: Lisa, a dumb yet sweet Filipino, Sarah, a white wannabe [[GoldDigger golddigger]], Cash, a nerdy wannabe paparazzi, and D-Mack, a fake gangsta rapper. They also put a ''ton'' of weird transitions in. It didn't last.
!! The show provides examples of:
* AmicablyDivorced: Flex and Breanna's mother, Nicole, for the most part.
* ArtifactTitle: The title is a reference to Flex and Breanna's new father-daughter relationship. By the end of the 5th season, Flex is written out entirely.
* BetaCouple: Duane and Candy.
* TheCasanova: Flex, especially in Season 1.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Flex stops appearing by mid-season in Season 5, as does Breanna and Arnaz's landlord Manny. Spirit and Duane disappeared as well.
** Duane was chucked from ''One on One''`s entire ''universe''. When the setting moved to Los Angeles, Duane was left in Baltimore and could have easily appeared on the concurrent season of ''Cuts'', but his relationship with Candy was immediately broken up and he was never seen or mentioned afterwards.
* DawsonCasting: Robert Ri'chard was 18 year old when he was cast as the 15 year old Arnaz. Averted with {{Kyla Pratt}} and Sicily who were about the same age as their characters.
* {{Expy}}: D-Mack is this of D-Money, a character from another UPN show, ''Series/{{Moesha}}'', that was also played by Ray J. They are both wannabe gangsters and troublemakers with families that are actually well off and an older sister played by Brandy.
* MrFanservice: Flex, paticularly in the early seasons. Arnaz would become this in the later seasons.
* MsFanservice: Breanna, especially in the later seasons. Flex's many girlfriends as well.
* FiveTokenBand: Season 5 invoked this intentionally to appeal to wider demographics. It didn't work.
* GenreShift: From a sitcom about a playboy and his teenage daughter to a [[SliceOfLife slice of life]] comedy in Season 5.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Flex and Breanna.
* LadyKillerInLove: Flex a couple of times, but particularly with Natalie and later Danielle.
* LeftHanging: The show ends with [[spoiler: Breanna and D-Mack in bed together.]]
* LoveDodecahedron: Arnaz liked Breanna but she only liked him as a friend, then he started dating Ginger. After a while, Breanna starts dating Josh. Arnaz breaks it off with Ginger, then starts having feelings for Breanna again, so Breanna is forced to choose and chooses Arnaz. But then Ginger teams up with Josh to break them up by claming to have slept with Arnaz, while Josh appears shirtless in Breanna's apartment as an OperationJealousy ploy. Then Breanna decides that she and Arnaz are BetterAsFriends so they don't end up like Breanna's parents, but then they get back together later. Then Breanna is jealous of the attractive new singer in Arnaz's band. Then when they get to Los Angeles, they break up mid-season and start dating other people, only for Breanna's new boyfriend to break up with her when he realizes she's still in love with Arnaz. Breanna ends up sleeping with D-Mack. And then the series ends.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Breanna.
* MoralityPet: Breanna becomes this to Flex as she really forces him to evaluate how he treats women, especially as she becomes a woman herself.
* OverprotectiveDad: Flex can be this at times as he worries Breanna will end up becoming pregnant at a young age like her mother did. It's later revealed that much of his over protectiveness is out of fear that Breanna will allow men to treat her the same way that ''he'' treats women.
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: The Season 3 episode "Splitting Hairs" reduced Flex to a bookending cameo and left out all the others to focus on his brother Kevin and the barbershop he ran, and Tiffany, the daughter of the owner of the shop who wanted it to become a hair salon. In the end, they teamed up and called it "Pharenity" - a mashup of "Phatheadz" (the name of the barbershop) and "Serenity" (the name of Tiffany's prospective hair salon). Unlike most examples, this actually became a series - the UPN sitcom ''Cuts''.
* {{Retcon}}: The conflict of Season 4's finale revolves around Breanna wanting to go to college in California, leaving everyone and everything behind. Arnaz stops her at the last possible moment and confesses that he can't live without her, and they decide to live together in Baltimore after all. Season 5 begins with them moving into a flat in Los Angeles, preparing for California college life.
* ReTool: Season 5 feels like an an entirely new show.
* SassyBlackWoman: Tanya, Flex's first recurring girlfriend, played by Tamala Jones. In later seasons, both Breanna and Spirit become this.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: Averted with Duane and Flex.
* SpinOff: ''Cuts''.
* ThreeAmigos: Breanna, Spirit, and Arnaz.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Duane finally gets a permanent girlfriend in Candy during Season 3. Also both Lisa and Benjaman (the snarky owner of the coffee shop that Breanna and friends frequent in Season 5) get together in the Season 5 finale. Lisa had spent most of the season pining after D-Mack who either ignored her or treated her like garbage while Benjamin pined for her.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Duane and Candy.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Breanna and Arnaz for the ''entire'' series.
-->'''Spirit:''' [[FandomNod Y'all get on my nerves]].
* WithAFriendAndAStranger: Spirit and Arnaz were childhood friends. Breanna was the stranger of the trio.

Ex-college athlete with MS, now an advocate
- Written by Ayana Jones
- Published in Health
When Tyler Campbell was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis almost five years ago, the news came as a shock.
At the time, he was 24 and preparing for the NFL draft while a running back at San Diego State University.
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system. The autoimmune disease interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body.
"When my episode hit me, it was like nothing I've every experienced before. It was quite frightening," Campbell said, recollecting how it felt not being able to move his arms or legs.
"For you to have something taken away from you without any warning, it's quite a shock and a scare. I was terrified at first. It was a very humbling experience."
When he first diagnosed in November 2007, Campbell wanted to continue playing football and finish his education. At the time, Campbell started feeling better due to his medications and thought that he still had a shot as a professional athlete.
He had a positive outlook on living with the MS because it wasn't holding him back from doing the things that he liked to do.
But then he was hit with a curve ball. Due to his condition, his doctor told him he'd have to forgo a NFL career.
"I didn't see it as a big deal then, but I see it as a big deal now because it's just a testament to this disease because it does not mean that your dreams or everyday life can be taken away from you. It does not mean that your world is over," says Campbell, who hails from Texas.
"I've spent a lot of time in prayer. I'd be lying if I said that if I didn't know the Lord for myself, this would be much more of a struggle. My thing is, I've learned that when adversity comes your way, you can't quit."
With that in mind, he turned his attention to pursing his education and joining his family's business, Earl Campbell Meat Products. He currently works as a sales account manager for the Texas-based business. Last September, he married his college sweetheart.
"I now have the opportunity to share my experience to help others living with this disease and make an impact on the MS community."
Due to lesions on his brain caused by the MS, the right side of Campbell's body is affected. For instance, when he's tired, he walks with a noticeable limp on his right side and his right arm will become stiff.
Since he was diagnosed in November 2007, Campbell has been on three different medications to treat the MS.
"I understand the frustration of trial and error that so many go through with this disease because not everybody responses the same way to medication," Campbell said, noting that he's been on three different medications for MS since he was diagnosed that were not effective.
He's finally found a medication that works for him.
"I think that just as much as the medication is important, I think its just as important to have family and friends to lean on from time to time because its hard thing to battle all by yourself."
His father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Earl Campbell, has partnered with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to honor his son's struggle with the disease through a specially commissioned piece of art. The limited edition autographed "The Unstoppable Earl Campbell" features Campbell from his days as a University of Texas Longhorn alongside famous Warner Bros. Looney Tunes characters. Proceeds from the art sales are being donated to the National MS Society.
According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, MS typically affects African Americans differently.
Dr. Thomas Leist, director of the MS Center at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital says approximately 35 percent of his patients are African American.
Some of the disease's gradual symptoms include loss of coordination, numbness, tingling, difficulty walking, blindness and paralysis.
"The problem is sometimes in African Americans, the initial symptoms are less than clear attacks. The initial event may be less than crystal clear. The other issue that is often in African-American individuals, is that the disease can have a more severe course," Leist said.
Leist says this could be due to the disease being diagnosed later or the disease has progressed more rapidly.
He noted that many of the trials for the medications that are being used to treat MS, enrolled predominately white populations.
"One of the things is that while we know these medications are effective, sometimes we don't have a clear view how effective they are in the African-American population because people of African-American descent were only a small minority in these studies," says Leist.
While there is no cure for MS, Leist says the condition can be managed if patients adhere to their medical regimen.
Because sometimes in patients of African-American descent the diagnosis may be made later or the disease may be more aggressive, it become even more important that a patient is adhering to treatment, Leist says.
The disease is more frequent in women. Approximately 75 percent of those who are newly diagnosed are women in their 20s and 30s.

St. John's Recruiting
November 9, 2012 by NBE Blogger · Leave a Comment
by Alex Schwartz
The two biggest high school hoops stories to come since our last Recruiting Notebook are both out of the class of 2014.
First off, Chris McCullough became just the second player in the top 25 of the NBE Sports Class of 2014 Post-July Top 75 to make a college decision. The 6-foot-9 power forward from Brewster Academy (NH) pledged to Syracuse, in news that looks to have been first reported by CuseNation.com.
McCullough is a native New Yorker and a high school teammate of recent 2013 Syracuse pledge Ron Patterson. McCullough is ranked No. 22 in the NBE Sports 2014 Top 75.
The Orange may not be done in 2014 as NBE's 19th best player in the class, Isaiah Whitehead, has narrowed his list to 10, per ESPN, and the Orange remain one of the leaders. The final 10 for the NYC guard are: Syracuse, St. John's, Rutgers, Kentucky, Louisville, Arizona, Maryland, Florida, Kansas and UCLA.
Dakari Johnson was the other 2014 stud to make news this week, except, well, Johnson is no longer a member of that class. Johnson has made the decision to reclassify to 2013, per Garrett Tucker of Future150.com.
The 6-foot-10 center from Montverde Academy (FL) was ranked No. 3 in the NBE Sports 2014 Top 75. He is the third top-20 player to reclassify from 2014 to 2013 in the past few months, following Andrew Wiggins, Noah Vonleh and Wayne Selden.

With most college programs having games of their own on Saturday fewer coaches were on hand at Rhode Island College to take in the action but that didn't stop the players from putting on a show. The best game of the day and arguably the weekend thus far was between New Hampton Prep and Canarias Basketball Academy. Canarias got out to a lead using their incredible size and strength but New Hampton came storming back to force overtime. New Hampton had lost stud sophomore Noah Vonleh to five fouls towards the end of regulation and it caught up with them in the extra session as Canarias prevailed 82-77. Despite coming up five points short on the scoreboard New Hampton had the top individual performance of the day from a somewhat unlikely source.
Top Performer of the Day:
Olivier Hanlon (New Hampton 2012) – committed to Boston College – Of the 10-12 times I've seen Hanlon play both with New Hampton and on the summer circuit with Albany City Rocks today clearly stands out as his best overall performance. The 6'2" physical point guard carried his team on his back for the entire 2nd half and overtime session by scoring and creating for others. Hanlon is at his best in screen and roll sets where he turns the corner aggressively and attacks the lane. In those situations he scored with the floater, got all the way to the rim, drew fouls on Canarias' bigs, and found open teammates on the perimeter. New Hampton ran the same high ball screen seemingly every time down in the 2nd half and Canarias never found an answer for Hanlon's fearlessness turning the corner. He also showed off his 3 point stroke as he played off the ball at times and knocked them down in catch and shoot situations. Just as impressive as his offense is Hanlon's intensity and ball pressure on the defensive end. He never takes a possession off on that end and got multiple steals with his quick footwork and great hands. Boston College fans should look forward to a bulldog at the point guard for the next four years.

Bosworth: Friday's National Prep Showcase Breakdown
November 19, 2011 by NBE Blogger · 1 Comment
By Brian Bosworth, National Recruiting Analyst
The National Prep Showcase kicked off Friday morning at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven. One the premier prep events in America on a yearly basis, the showcase features the top prep teams from the Northeast along with a sampling of the strongest teams from around the country. This year had a little bit of added anticipation as it was announced approximately a week prior to the event that NBA scouts would be allowed to attend. If any were on hand Friday they witnessed a performance worthy of a future lottery pick selection.
Top Performer of the Day:
Ricardo Ledo (South Kent Prep 2012) – committed to Providence – There is no debate over the top performer of the day as Ledo put on an offensive clinic in a 20 point South Kent victory. He scored 37 points including 7 three pointers and did so with his usual freewheeling style. Ledo keeps the ball on a string and almost toys with defenders as he routinely broke ankles and got into the lane or used his patented step back move to create space and bury long range shots. At one point on the break Ledo even through it to himself off the backboard and hammered down a dunk contest worthy jam without breaking a sweat. His offensive talents are immense and they were on full display Friday night but perhaps even more impressive was the way Rick carried himself on the court. Often labeled a head case or a moody player, Ledo showed real maturity coaching teammates on the floor and still getting others involved despite that fact that he had it working so well. South Kent head coach Kelvin Jefferson told me after the game that Rick has really progressed as a leader both in the locker room and on the court and that was evident in his play on this night.

A loaded field has come to the Jersey Shore this weekend for the annual Playaz Spring Fling, but on by Jimmy Salmons' Playaz Club program. The event kicks off the spring AAU travel season and while most are focused this weekend on the events in Houston (TX) with the Final Four, Matt Whitfield has made the trip to Neptune (NJ) to get an early look at most of the top AAU programs from the East Coast at one event. Sneaker affiliation lines are crossed for this event as all comers are welcomed.
The host Playaz have their 17-U and 16-U squads participating and the top NYC-based programs such as the NY Gauchos, New Heights, Long Island Lightning and NY Panthers as well as other powerful programs such as Team Takeover DC, DC Assault, Team Philly, NE Playaz, CT Select, Baltimore Elite, Sports University/Team Izod, Team NJ ABC, Pa Playaz and more are all in the 32-team 17U field this weekend.
On Friday evening LI-Lightning's 6-foot-6 forward Daniel Dingle of St. Raymond's HS in the Bronx updated NBE on the latest with his recruitment.
"Boston College, FSU, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Georgetown, Rutgers, Arizona, Xavier, Temple, Auburn, a lot of schools," Dingle told Matt Whitfield when asked for the list of schools recruiting him.
The Class of 2012 is planning a trio of visits this month.

In fact, moose have become so common in New York State the department no longer tracks moose with radio collars, and they don't even bother to collect reports of moose sightings. Since first reports began to trickle in back in 1980, the department has collected more than 3,000 sightings. However, the department does still conduct aerial surveys during the winter, when the budget allows.
Sadly, over the 30-plus years it has taken moose to reestablish a viable breeding population in the state, numerous animals have been involved in car accidents. Nearly 60 moose have died due to road kill, while more than 30 have been killed legally. The DEC estimates our moose population is increasing at about the same rate as Vermont's, with an increase of about 10-15 percent per year.
Several advantageous factors can assist in the search for moose during the winter. The snow covering serves to reveal their tracks and to expose their trails. The white background also highlights their dark silhouette, which when combined with a more open forest, serves to expose the big animals more than any other time of the year.
Frozen marshes and bogs, and a suitable crust can also provide skiers or snowshoers will easy travel opportunities to cover such terrain during the winter season.
With adequate snow cover, a competent cross-country skier can cover many miles of terrain in a day's travel, which makes it is entirely possible to cut a moose track or find the heavily trafficked trails near a 'yard.' If you discover moose tracks during the winter, it is very likely you can follow them back to their owner.
However, it is important to remember these big animals yard up for both safety and ease of travel. Do not approach close enough to present a threat or otherwise disturb them, for your sake and for theirs.
If you are fortunate enough to locate a moose, it is recommended you observe it from a safe distance and depart before causing any alarm.

County of Origin: India
Height: 56-3.5cm* [22-25"]*
Weight: 15-20kg* [33-44lbs*]
Life Expectancy: 9+*
*There exist no formal documentation of the actual size, weight & life expectancy of the Chippiparai.
The Chippiparai is a breed of dog native to the South of India. Thought to be descended from the Saluki, the Chippiparai was bred to hunt hare, rabbit and wild boar and currently only recognized by The Kennel Club of India. Oftentimes called the greyhound of the South, the Chippiparai is a long, slender, yet robust breed of dog that comes in black & tan, fawn, red, cream and silver-grey with or without a black mask. Some may have white markings, although they are not preferred. They have a long, whip-like tail and a slight roach back & deep chest. The head is very similar to that of a greyhound but with a stronger muzzle and a slight stop. Folded, thrown back ears are preferred (rosebud), however you will often find drop ears or erect ears in some dogs. The coat is extremely short and close which is well suited to India's climate and requires little grooming.
There exist two variations of the Chippiparai; the breed as described above, and the Kanni. The latter of which is much more slender and sleek and has a softer build of the two. The Kanni was possibly a seperate breed as some sources I've come across state, but much of the time, the two interbreed as there are very few of either left. The KCI only recognises the Chippiparai.
The Chippiparai is well on the verge of extinction. With the influx of more Westernized breeds, the native breeds of India have dwindled to but a few hobby breeders in isolated pockets. Many of the Chippiparai of today are smaller than they once were due in some part to the lack of a wide gene pool to select from.
The video below shows a Chippiparai performing a down/stay at a dog show. Right if the Chippiparai you can see a Rajapalayam which I have posted about previously.

3. Its mentioned ICC will use B1TE as test enviornment, where can we get B1TE?
4. There is a requirment by B1 SDK standard, "Do not add/update/delete database directly but to use DI-API", our Add-On is used to change BP Code, we process update using a SQL store procedure update database directly that can improve performence, if we keep the current process, can we pass the certification test?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Lanjun,
In order to obtain the software mentioned below, your company will need to sign a B1-SDK certification first. Then you will be assigned a certification consultant and he/she will forward you all the necessary software as well as assist you during the course of the certification project.
