ADA, OK -- Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. Ada must be doing both because they seriously can't lose.
Senior quarterback Wyatt Robson is tearing up class four secondary's while the Cougars have scored 283 points in their first six games.
Offense isn't the only aspect of coach Matt Weber's team doing it's job. The defense has only allowed 60 points all year launching this squad into No. 4 in Class 4A.
Only four games remain for the Cougars, four really tough games.
To keep the dream alive of an undefeated season they'll have to keep pushing it every day in practice, which they will, but it's still satisfying for the young men to relish in what they've already accomplished.
"It's great. Everywhere you go they say, 'oh, you play for Ada,' and I'm like, 'yeah,' and it's just a great community atmosphere and everything," senior linebacker and tight end D'angelo Dunn said.
"It's getting pumped. It gets pumped around here," added senior wide receiver Easton Pingleton.
"It's pretty good being 6-0. We've been working hard, this is what we wanted to come out here and accomplish and I think we're doing as good as we can," Dunn said.
"It feels good. This is the first 6-0 start we've had in a while, so it feels good to be a part of it," concluded Pingleton.
They'll try to make improve to 7-0 Friday against Glenpool.

A heroic cab driver was honored by Kent State University on Thursday morning after she thwarted a potentially explosive plan to do harm to the campus.
Driver Misty Smead picked up Louis Koleszar Tuesday morning at the Akron Canton Airport. He allegedly said he wanted to go to KSU. Within minutes, he attacked Smead and threatened to blow up the University.
Using a code word, Smead alerted her dispatcher that she was in trouble and he called police.
As police began racing to meet her, Smead told the man in her cab they were going to exit the highway. He then allegedly grabbed her neck. Smead managed to calm her passenger down by offering to stop for a cigarette and coffee. Police met her and arrested the man just off of Interstate 76 at the SR 44 exit.
The Colorado man is now being held at the Portage Jail.
Thursday, Kent State presented Smead and her dispatcher with Kent State memorabilia as a show of gratitude.

University of Louisiana at Lafayette Police said someone stole a fun jump that had been set up for Saturday's 2014 Autism Society of Acadiana Walk of Hope. Three fun jumps were put in place Friday night, but when officials arrived Saturday morning they discovered one was missing. Susie Hargrover, Vice President of the Autism Society of Acadiana called the alleged thievery a shame.
"When you have an event for close to 2,000 kids, autistic kids, and one of their favorite things to do is go in the fun jumps and when one of them is stolen it's upsetting."
However, the missing equipment did not dampen the spirits of those who turned out at the Blackham Coliseum for the walk.
Hundreds gathered for a day full of fun and entertainment with an atmosphere of excitement. Walkers began the short fun walk along Cajundome Boulevard and enjoyed a variety of food and soft drinks at the conclusion of the walk. Some of the activities for children included assembling small building kits, climbing rock walls, playing in fun jumps and a gaming trailer with indoor and outdoor video games.
Anyone with information on the stolen fun jump is asked to call UL Lafayette police at 337-482-6447.
State Police are investigating a crash that claimed the life of a 50 year old Clinton man.

How Big Is The iBridge Deck On The Abramsprise??
4 Attachment(s)
Okay. Something just occurred to me recently. In TOS and every other incarnation of Star Trek ever seen on the TV or the big screen, Deck 1 is always the bridge deck. The bridge is usually the only room on Deck 1 on most if not all starships in the Starfleet. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I have never seen a doorway on any bridge of any starship in any incarnation of Trek, either TV or movie, that leads out to a corridor. In most if not all cases, the only way off the bridge is via turbolift.
Yet in STXI, there appears to be not only a turbolift door, but also a regular door leading off the iBridge to a corridor. On the Abramsprise, the iBridge deck is enormous. Here's why: In the scene where Kirk is lying on the bed in sick bay and wakes when he hears Chekov's broadcast, he and McCoy go out the door into a corridor. Kirk then uses a computer to locate Uhura. They both run down another corridor and find Uhura in the brewery monitoring the firmentation process with some other cadets. After Kirk talks to Uhura, they all three run out of the brewery into another corridor, around a corner and onto the iBridge. They never took a turbolift. They got to the iBridge from sick bay using only corridors. That would seem to imply that both sick bay and part of the brewery are on the same deck as the iBridge. Later, as Vulcan is being destroyed, Spock leaves the iBridge via turbolift on his way to the transporter room. Some time later, Chekov leaves the iBridge on his way to the same transporter room via corridor from the iBridge. Chekov leaves the iBridge, runs down a corridor, and into the transporter room. During this, Spock is still in the turbolift on his way to the same transporter room. Chekov has time to save Kirk and Sulu from their chute-less freefall of death while Spock is still apparently travelling all over the ship in the turbolift. It tool Chekov all of 4 seconds to run from the iBridge to the transporter room. While it took Spock several minutes to get there via turbolift. Something doesn't add up. Either way, not only are sick bay and part of the brewery on the same deck as the iBridge, but apparently the transporter room is as well. That's a pretty big deck. Anybody else notice this? Just wondering.
Attachment 1902 Attachment 1903 Attachment 1904 Attachment 1905
All of these rooms apparently are on the same deck.
Aha! Another thing just occured to me! From the first sick bay scene, we know that the sick bay and iBridge are both on the same deck. Yet in the battle scene at Vulcan when the Narada fires missiles at the Abramsprise, one hits the neck of the ship. When the missile impacts, we clearly see sick bay sustaining heavy damage. It looks like the same room where Kirk was sedated. Yet we know that room is on the iBridge deck. Hmmm. Is there a duplicate sick bay in the neck of the ship?
In the case of the nuEnterprise--new universe, new design philosophy, IMO. I have no problem with this bridge being part of a larger Deck 1 underneath the actual bridge dome.
I stand corrected. However, the "dome" on top of the Abramsprise is not the bridge dome. According to the viewindow pull-out scene, the iBridge is much lower in the saucer than the dome. Methinks the dome is simply a sensor array of some kind.
Also, the firmentation room where Uhura was seems to be an extremely large room with a very high ceiling. It would appear to be much higher than the ceiling of the iBridge, yet when looking at the impges of the ibridge area on the saucer of the Abramsprise, the iBridge deck tapers down toward the rear from the iBridge which is at the front. In other words, the brewery room won't fit within the physical confines of that deck.
I can't imagine that brewery room is supposed to be the same deck as the bridge dispite how the flow of the film might indicate that to the hyper-stickler. In film editing parlance it's called a jump cut.
The bridge and the deck it's on does seem to be pretty big though. I want blueprints!
I would be inclined to agree. It just doesn't seem possible or logical to have that enormous room on the same deck as the iBridge. However, in that scene, we see them run out of the brewery into the corridor. Then the camera cuts to the corridor and we see them running out of the doorway and around a corner and down the corridor and around another corner. Then we see them run into the iBridge. From what I saw on screen, it appears that the two rooms are on the same deck. Now, if they had shown the three of them going into a turbolift, I would not be having this conversation.
Problem is, in TOS and all other Trek incarnations, even the movies, they always showed the characters entering and exiting the turbolifts when they were going to a different deck. They didn't do that in this movie. Therefore, logically, it must be assumed, given the events as seen in the movie, that all these rooms are intended to be on the same deck. However implausible it may be. The only time I saw a turbolift used was when Spock went from the shuttlebay to the iBridge and when he went from the iBridge to the transporter room...which was on the same deck as the iBridge. Which brings up another question. He was in a hurry to get to the transporter, so why didn't he do what Chekov did and just run down the corridor to the transporter room. It would have been 10X quicker.
Zim, your brain will explode on this one.:sad:
Trust me, ya can't make sense of NuTrek...it's the definition of nonsense.:D

The Vikings first trip to the playoffs since 2009 seemingly ended as soon as it began as the team fell 24-10 to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field Saturday night.
Forced to start quarterback Joe Webb over Christian Ponder due to a elbow injury sustained in last weeks game against the Packers. The result was not pretty as the Vikings could not overcome mental errors and the adjustments on defense and offense by the Packers. After rushing for 409 yards against the Packers in two games, Adrian Peterson could not get loose and carried the ball 22 times for a pedestrian (by his standards) 99 yards.
The opening drive saw the Vikings march down the field to set up a Blair Walsh field goal. With Webb known more for his running ability than his arm, the Vikings offense seemed to move the ball at will on the ground. Defensively, the team forced a three and out in the Packers first opportunity, then had a stop on third down on Green Bay's second drive but were flagged for a penalty when Kevin Williams lined up offsides. The result of the penalty was a first down and the Packers scored their first touchdown later on the drive.
Rodgers finished the game 23-of-33 for 274 yards and one touchdown but it was DuJuan Harris who ultimately stole the show. Harris rushed 17 times for 47 yards and scored a touchdown, also found plenty of space in the underneath passing game. Harris led the team with five receptions for 53 yards.
Webb did find Michael Jenkins late in the fourth quarter for a 50 yard touchdown when Jenkins slipped behind the defense and stood all alone. It was too little too late as the Vikings would inch no closer.
After finishing their previous two seasons with a total of nine wins, the Vikings surprised the league finishing with 10 wins including four straight to gain an entry into the playoffs. The Vikings and Packers played three times in 34 days with the Packers winning both games at Lambeau and the Vikings winning in the final week of the regular season in a win or go home game.
The Packers will face San Francisco next week in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Developing a spoken language for deaf children
For Khristi Bowman, story-time with twins Molly and Nate is a blessing.
The pair were born at the same time, yet Nate knows there's something different about his sister.
Molly, like 12 thousand other babies each year, was born with severe hearing loss.
At just two, she got cochlear implant surgery.
Her parents say it was a big decision to make for her, because they didn't know if they were doing the right thing for Molly's future.
Audiologist Tamala Bradham often hears parents ask what it will mean for their child.
Answers may be coming.
A new landmark study is following more than 2,000 deaf kids as they learn to communicate.
The focus: Diagnosing hearing loss early.
A newborn hearing tests costs a hospital less than 50 bucks a baby. Only 28 states mandate screening of all babies.
Fail to catch hearing loss early, and your kid may suffer delays in vocabulary comprehension.
While 30-month-olds who hear learn up to 120 words a month, a 30-month-old deaf child learns one per month.
Knowing how youngsters like Molly learn and adapt could be life-changing.
Molly starts mainstream kindergarten this fall.
More information on next page.
BACKGROUND: At birth, a baby immediately begins to use the five senses to take in information about his or her new surroundings. The sense of hearing is especially important, as it is crucial to developing language skills. Unfortunately, three out of every 1000 babies are born with a hearing defect, and nearly half of those aren't screened for a hearing test until their second year of life. Therefore, it's up to the parents to detect early signs of infant hearing loss. Though babies have different responses to sound in the first stages of life, there are some guidelines for making sure your baby can hear. At birth your baby should startle or awaken at loud noises and appear to listen to voices. By three months, babies usually cry differently for different needs, turn towards interesting sounds, and smile when spoken to, and by six months, a baby should respond to his or her name, say a lot of different sounds, turn his or her head in response to different sounds, and react to changes in your tone of voice. At one year, a baby should try to imitate different speech sounds, say his or her first words, understand simple requests, and know words for common items. If your child does have permanent hearing loss, the earlier it's detected, the earlier you can get help.
COCHLEAR IMPLANTS: A cochlear implant is a device that will allow a profoundly deaf person to hear. The cochlear implant is a two part device; one part is external and another is internal, and is placed under the skin via surgery. A cochlear implant works differently from a hearing aid; while a hearing aid amplifies sounds so that the user can hear them, the cochlear implant works by stimulating the auditory nerve. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, approximately 42,600 adults and 28,400 children have received cochlear implants as of December, 2010. A cochlear implant uses a microphone to pick up sounds from the environment, which are then selected and arranged by a speech processor. The sounds are then sent from the speech processor to the transmitter and receiver/stimulator and are converted into electrical impulses that are sent to different regions of the auditory nerve via an electrode array. When the auditory nerve is stimulated, the brain recognizes it as sound, allowing the deaf person to hear.

200 Recipes for Healthy and Hearty One-Pot Meals that Are Ready When You Are
by Robin Robertson
Millions of home cooks swear by the ease and convenience of the slow cooker, and this book provides a whole new array of healthy, delicious recipes—that don't rely on cans of soup for flavor!
Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker provides delicious meat-free recipes, proving that slow cookers can be used for much more than just tough, inexpensive cuts of meat. They are perfect for vegetarian and healthy cooking because slow cooking is a foolproof way to make beans, grains, and root vegetables in preparations such as Spicy White Bean and Sweet Potato Stew with Collards, Balsamic-Glazed Carrots and Parsnips, and Boston Brown Bread.
Chapters on appetizers, soups, stews, beans, vegetables, condiments, breakfasts, desserts, and beverages ensure that nothing is overlooked. A complete introduction provides information on all the latest advances in slow-cooker models and accessories.
Praise for Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker
"Leave it to Robin to inspire us with such a great idea; Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker will make you want to go out and buy a slow cooker and start cooking these amazing recipes." (Akasha Richmond, chef, caterer, and columnist for Vegetarian Times)
"Until now most slow-cooker cookbooks have been heavily meat-oriented, leaning mightily on processed, preservative-heavy ingredients. Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker changes that. What a good idea! Here, every ingredient is fresh and real, and there's not a single pot roast with dehydrated onion soup to be found! Hooray for this cookbook's ease, innovation, variety, bright ingredients, and fine results. Not just vegetarians, but anyone who needs cooking ease but doesn't want to sacrifice full flavor or health, will rejoice in this inviting, eclectic book." (Crescent Dragonwagon, James Beard Award-winning author of Passionate Vegetarian)
"Finding ways to prepare delicious and satisfying slow-cooked foods, especially vegetarian dishes, is a challenge for anyone who travels a busy path. I use a slow cooker a lot, and the recipes in Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker entice and inspire me." (Jess Cool, author of Your Organic Kitchen and owner of JZ Cool Eatery and Catering Company)
"This is a carefully written book with many imaginative recipes. Robin Robertson provides an astonishing array of dishes, a wide variety of flavors, and excellent cooking techniques; you and your entire family will be healthier and happier for her efforts."

I purchased your Fresh From the Vegan Sliw Cooker book in Mendocino California. I use my slow cooker 2-3 x per week and I am completely in love with your recipes! They are delicious and healthy fitting in with my move toward healthier eating habits.
It's my "go to" book theses days and every single recipe I try is beyond my expectations. I love your soup recipes especially the lentil, black bean and tomatoe. I look forward to using my slow cooker with your help throughout this winter. Thank you so much!

I have tried many of your recipes in this book and my family enjoys them immensely. However, I was wondering if you had any nutritional information available on any of these recipes? Thank you

(Tim) A month or two ago during a Lord's Day sermon, I mentioned the prevalence rate of abortion in our churches and how many of us are likely to be stained by this bloodshed of innocents. My purpose was to call us to self-examination and repentance, then faith in the saving work of our Lord Jesus Christ Who came, not for the righteous, but sinners. Afterward, one soul confessed to me privately that he thought he'd likely been complicit in the murder of a child of his, and he expressed deep love for the tender mercy of the Lord to him, a sinner.
This past Lord's Day, Easter 2009, Redeemer in Manhattan had a similar testimony during their worship service. Praise God that the Holy Spirit is awakening our hearts to the cries of the widows and orphans in their distress among us, and that we are responding with both repentance and faith.
Praise God for this repentance! May God raise up more faithful pastors to proclaim the gospel, calling His people to repentance.
It is refreshing to hear of pastors preaching about abortion. I have even heard pastors teach the truth that the birth control pill causes abortions. There can be no repentance without the confrontation of sin. Thankfully there are pastors taking those hard stands.

Crispin Glover: Everything is fine
Crispin Hellion Glover on the set of his film What is it? (Actor are Kiva & Crispin Glover)
How did the collaboration come about with the late Steven C. Stewart for It is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE?
Steven C. Stewart wrote and is the main actor in part two of the trilogy titled It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE. I put Steve in to the cast of What is it? because he had written this screenplay which I read in 1987. When I turned What is it? from a short film in to a feature I realized there were certain thematic elements in the film that related to what Steve's screenplay dealt with. Steve had been locked in a nursing home for about ten years when his mother died. He had been born with a severe case of cerebral palsy and he was very difficult to understand. People that were caring for him in the nursing home would derisively call him an "M.R." short for Mental Retard. This is not a nice thing to say to anyone, but Steve was of normal intelligence. When he did get out he wrote his screenplay. Although it is written in the genre of a murder detective thriller, truths of his own existence come through much more clearly than if he had written it as a standard autobiography.
Steve died within a month after we finished shooting the film. Cerebral palsy is not generative but Steve was 62 when we shot the film. One of Steve's lungs had collapsed because he had started choking on his own saliva and he got pneumonia. I specifically started funding my own films with the money I made from the films I act in; when Steven's lung collapsed in 2000 this was around the same time that the first Charlie's Angels film was coming to me. I realized with the money I made from that film I could put straight in to the Steven C. Stewart film. That is exactly what happened. I finished acting in Charlie's Angels and then went to Salt Lake City where Steve lived. I met with Steve and David Brothers with whom I co-directed the film. I went back to LA and acted in a lower budget film for about five weeks and David Brothers started building the sets. Then I went straight back to Salt Lake and we completed shooting the film within about six months in three separate smaller productions. Then Steve died within a month after we finished shooting. I am relieved to have gotten this film finally completed because ever since I read the screenplay in 1987 I knew I had to produce the film and also produce it correctly. I would not have felt right about myself if I had not gotten Steve's film made; I would have felt that I had done something wrong and that I had actually done a bad thing if I had not gotten it made. So I am greatly relieved to have completed it especially since I am very pleased with how well the film has turned out. We shot It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE while I was still completing What is it? And this is partly why What is it? took a long time to complete. I am very proud of the film as I am of What is it? I feel It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE will probably be the best film I will have anything to do with in my entire career. People who are interested in when I will be back should join up on the e mail list at CrispinGlover.com as they will be emailed with information as to where I will be with whatever film I tour with. It is by far the best way to know how to see the films.
After Charlie's Angels came out it did very well financially and was good for my acting career. I started getting better roles that also paid better and I could continue using that money to finance my films that I am so truly passionate about. I have been able to divorce myself from the content of the films that I act in and look at acting as a craft that I am helping other filmmakers to accomplish what it is that they want to do. Usually filmmakers have hired me because there is something they have felt would be interesting to accomplish with using me in their film and usually I can try to do something interesting as an actor. If for some reason the director is not truly interested in doing something that I personally find interesting with the character then I can console myself that with the money I am making to be in their production I can help to fund my own films that I am so truly passionate about. Usually though I feel as though I am able to get something across as an actor that I feel good about. It has worked out well.
What have you found to be the most rewarding part of filmmaking as a medium thus far?
The actual creative element of editing of the film is my favorite part of the filmmaking experience. (continued on next page)

Glenmark inks pact with InvaGen for US market
Our Bureau
Mumbai , Dec. 15
GLENMARK Pharmaceuticals Ltd and the US-based InvaGen Pharmaceuticals Inc have entered into a pact for the American market. The two companies will jointly develop, file and market seven generic pharmaceutical products specifically for this market.
The product list includes a mixture of off-patent and patent-protected molecules with cumulative annual sales in the US of about $ 4.1 billion, a Glenmark communiqué said.
As per the agreement, InvaGen will develop and licence to Glenmark seven generic products. It will also undertake filing the ANDAs (Abbreviated New Drug Applications) while Glenmark will be responsible for obtaining regulatory approval in the US market, the note added.
On receiving regulatory approval, Glenmark's US subsidiary - Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Inc - will exclusively market the products while InvaGen will manufacture them. All development and regulatory costs and profits on sale in the US will be shared equally between the two companies, the note said. One ANDA has already been filed till date and three more are expected by March.
Glenmark has also signed a collaboration agreement with another Indian company, Shasun Chemicals and Drugs Ltd, for the joint development and marketing of 13 generic products in the US market. Shasun is expected to file two of its ANDAs under this agreement by March.
Meanwhile Glenmark also said that it has achieved half its target of filing a total of 12-14 ANDAs during FY 2006 on the back of in-house efforts. It is on course to meet its target by March, the company said.

He continues to officiate track and field, now in his 29th year. Dilday was considered the top football referee in Missouri as he officiated some 50 state playoff games, including nine state championship games. He has been football rules interpreter for the Missouri State High School Activities Association since 1982. Emry was a charter member of the National High School Football Officials Association and served as president in 1999-2000. He has been executive director and game assigner for the Southwest Missouri Football Association for 41 years, and is currently the girls track coach at Springfield Catholic High School. Emry was inducted into the National Federation of High School Associations Hall of Fame in 2011. WINSTON GARLAND Winston was the centerpiece of the first two SMS Division I post-season basketball teams, leading the Bears to the quarter-finals of the 1986 NIT and the second round of the 1987 NCAA tournament. A native of Gary, Ind. who came to (Missouri State) after two seasons at Southeastern Iowa Community College, Garland was the Bears' leading scorer in both of his seasons, averaging 16.5 as a junior and 21.2 as a senior. The Bears of coach Charlie Spoonhour were 24-8 in 1986 and a school-record 28-6 his senior year. A two-time Mid-Continent Conference player of the year, Garland set a school record with 720 points in 1987, a record that still stands. His 1,248 points is the best two-year total in school history. The 1987 Bears went 13-1 for the league title, and with Garland as MVP, won the Mid-Continent Conference tournament as well. In the NCAA tournament in Atlanta, the 13th-seeded Bears upset 4th-seeded Clemson, for their first-ever NCAA Division I tournament win. Winston's junior year, the Bears got an NIT bid and knocked off both Pittsburgh and Marquette before losing a one-point decision at Florida. Garland went on to play six seasons in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets. His uniform number is retired at MSU and he was a 2002 inductee of the Missouri State Athletics Hall of Fame. STEPHANIE PHILLIPS Stephanie served as head basketball coach at Kickapoo High School from 2001-10, leading the Lady Chiefs to a record of 214-38 in nine seasons. Her teams made three Final Four appearances, winning state championships in 2003 and 2005 and finishing third in 2010. Since her passing in July of 2010, Stephanie was inducted into the Missouri Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame and the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. In addition, the "Stephanie Phillips Courage Award" has been established annually by the Women's Intersport Network. Stephanie was a three-sport athlete at Springfield Catholic High School, earning all-state honors in each of the three sports. She was a member of state championship teams in both volleyball and basketball. She played three seasons for the Missouri State Lady Bears before transferring to Southwest Baptist for her senior year. Stephanie went on to serve one year as a graduate assistant at SBU and three years as an assistant coach at the University of Missouri. JASON PYRAH Jason was one of the top distance runners to ever come out of southwest Missouri. He was a six-time state track champion running for Willard, winning the 3200 meters at state three times, the 1600 twice, and the 800 once. His time in the 1600 in 1987 is still the state high school record for all classes in Missouri. His 3200 meter time that year still stands as the state 3A record, and his 800 meter mark stood for 25 years. His 1987 time in the high school mile was best in the nation that year. He was a 5-time high school track All-American. Continuing his running career at Brigham Young University, he was a four-time NCAA track All-American and a two-time cross country All-American. He placed fourth in the 1500 meters at the 1994 World Cup in London, was bronze medalist in the 1995 Pan American Games, was the USA indoor mile champion in 1997 and 2000 and in 2000, represented his country in the Sydney Olympic games, placing 10th in the 1500 meters. During his career, Jason has run over 30 sub-4-minute miles, competing on six continents in more than 20 countries. He is a member of the Willard High School Hall of Fame, the BYU Hall of Fame and the Missouri Track and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame. He currently officiates both track and cross country and is sports medicine coordinator for Cox Health in Springfield. JACK ROBERTS Jack played high school basketball at Buffalo, then continued his playing career at Drury College in Springfield. During World War II, he served in the Army, earning five battle stars and a distinguished unit badge. He began his coaching career at Camdenton High, finishing with a record of 135-95 in eight years there. His legacy at the school was leading the change of mascot and school colors, asking the Minneapolis Lakers of the NBA for permission to use their nickname and colors of purple and gold. Moving to Springfield, he served as coach Jim Ball's assistant at Central High from 1956 until being hired as head coach when Glendale High School opened in 1963. Jack never had a losing season with the Falcons in 21 years as coach, guiding the team to five Ozark Conference championships and seven district or regional titles. His overall record in 29 seasons as a high school varsity head coach was 499-246. His Glendale teams won 21 in-season tournament championships, and Roberts' post-season record was 31-22. He also coached the Glendale boys tennis team to a state championship in 1983. In 1993, he was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the Drury University Athletics Hall of Fame.

This year's five inductees will bring to 101 the total number of sports personalities enshrined in the Hall.

The Boston Marathon bombing showed us the awesome power of social media.
The good, rapidly identifying the suspects through civilian photos and law enforcement rapidly keeping the public abreast of developments.
The bad, misinformation circulating rapidly and public interference in the man hunt.
Law enforcement agencies around the country are studying on how to use the good aspects of social media.
The Rosenberg Police Department is already all in, and it's seeing results already.
"We get tips all the time from facebook. We get them through tweets that are sent to us. It's helped us solve crimes. It's helped tear down some of the barriers between us and the community, " says Rosenberg Assistant Chief Dallis Warren.
Warren says that in just seven months, the Rosenberg Police facebook page has hit 5-thousand likes.
They use the page to update people about accidents and crimes, introduce new officers, and show the lighter side of the thin blue line.
From officers holding pets up for adoption to goofy group photos there's no kidding about how seriously this small department takes social media.
Facebook is better for sending out public information.
Twitter is a better way to get anonymous or at least private tips.
Using Social media in law enforcement is not new.
During the hunt for Chris Dorner, the former LAPD officer who went on a killing spree, police monitored social media to see if online support for the fugitive turned into actual support.
Departments like HPD routinely turn to social media to get information during investigations or to put out alerts.
So does the Harris Country Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Garcia was tweeting during the Lone Star College mass stabbing incident.
But those are individuals in the department doing it on their own for special reasons. Or the department occasionally tasking someone to put out something specific.
Not everyone is doing what Rosenberg does, at least not yet.
Fully committing to social media and using it as a so-called force multiplier for the small 38 patrol officer department.

Despite alcohol use and misuse being such an important and potentially destructive issue for students, the Students' Union has decided to forgo alcohol awareness week this year. The rationale for discontinuing the event hinges on its supposed lecture-like nature and the idea that putting everything into one week is simply too much.
SU vice-president events Luke Valentine told the Gauntlet that a holistic approach to alcohol awareness, which would feature a number of special events throughout the year, would be more beneficial for students than concentrating everything within a single week. He said that in an effort to do so, the SU arranged an alcohol-free dance party in That Empty Space at the start of the year-- which they hope to put on again either this semester or next-- launched a responsible drinking campaign sponsored by Molson and are planning to hold a beer and wine tasting in the winter which will incorporate some educational aspects.
While it is good that the SU has not completely dropped the issue of alcohol awareness from its program, the cancellation of alcohol awareness week is irresponsible. Rather than the outright discontinuation of the event, it could have been adapted by the SU to proceed in such a way that they would be satisfied it was valuable for students. Even in its previous form, it is not clear that it was wholly useless. Certainly some students would find that the way it was conducted deterred them from considering its clearly valuable message of education, but that does not mean that it failed all students. To argue that an event is ineffective because it merely lectures individuals in an environment where much of the dissemination of information is carried out in precisely this form is absurd.
Additionally, though the SU has suggested that pursuing a number of different activities throughout the year is more beneficial than one week crammed with events, it does not follow that the week should then be cancelled. To provide students with the most opportunity for education regarding alcohol, it would be best to run a number of creative events throughout the year in addition to a dedicated alcohol awareness week. As alcohol use on campus is so important, and particularly bearing in mind that the SU runs a bar on campus, it seems that providing as much education as possible in as many forms as they can would be in the best interest of all. Running alcohol awareness week is an important tool for this end.
It is also worth considering that the primary method of encouraging the proper use of alcohol on campus is the "Here's to my Choice" campaign, which attempts to promote responsible drinking via T-shirts, water bottles and posters (hung mostly in the Den), and which is furthermore sponsored by a beer company.
Beyond letting students down, the campaign actually works against the SU's own interests. The Den operates on a zero tolerance policy for over-drinking and generally unacceptable behaviour. Enforcing such a policy at the campus bar would seemingly be easier if the organization running it also earnestly tried to educate students from ever involving themselves in such situations.
There are a number of reasons that cancelling alcohol awareness week was a bad decision. Hopefully the SU will not repeat this mistake in the coming years.

Report: Urban Meyer Agrees in Principle to coach Ohio State
Multiple sources are now reporting that Urban Meyer is Columbus-bound. Among those sources, Eleven Warriors and SPORTSbyBROOKS are the most reputable. Meyer probably isn't going to accept anything until the NCAA hands down its final ruling on sanctions involving the Ohio State football team. But still, yeah ... whatever. If true, I say so much for family time. UPDATE: One source according to SI.com says that Meyer would keep some of the current staff together, and even add Kirk Herbstreit to the staff. If that happens, I'd be okay with it, because that would get Herbstreit out of the TV booth. UPDATE #2: The Gainesville Sun's Pat Dooley, says that Meyer texted him last night and said the report is false. What a tangled web we weave.

The words "welcome to the Machida Era" uttered by Joe Rogan May 23rd, 2009 at UFC 98 are a well worn punchline at this point. But it wasn't always so funny. Who wasn't entranced by Lyoto Machida's unique style? Who didn't find his methods intoxicating?
Sure, Machida had his critics. But it certainly seemed like his win over Rashad Evans had ushered in a new 'era'. Nobody was gonna figure out his unique style. Machida was more Fermat's Last Theorem than a Rubik's Cube. But with two official losses behind him (many would argue three), the mystery is gone: the scrutiny of his skills resigned to the equivalent of a Ninja Turtle arcade game.
But is that to say he has nothing to offer Jon Jones this weekend at UFC 140? You would think so. I think it's fair to say there are not many people who think Machida stands a good chance. And why should they? Jones just obliterated Quinton Jackson and Mauricio Rua: the only two guys to beat Machida.
You're not gonna see me laying down money on Machida. But I do think, that on paper, Machida is an interesting opponent. Against Jackson, Jones had to deal with Quinton's lunging combinations. Against Rua, Jones had to deal with whether or not he'd break his hands on Shogun's face. But I wonder, for devil's advocate sake, if Jones' own style of intoxicating violence hasn't deluded us into thinking he too, is invincible?
Jones is a world class fighter, and his potential to dominate LHW is something I find difficult to question. But he's still young. His boxing still leaves a bit to be desired, and he maintains range with just his feet. He does these well, be he's done them well against opponents who either only knew how to come forward, or who stayed in range.
I don't think Machida lends himself to these descriptions: he's a counter puncher, but he moves forward, and he gets out fast. In addition, if Jones does have success taking down Machida, expect it to be limited. Jones is not a double leg wrestler, and typically scores his takedowns from the clinch. Machida happens to thrive in the clinch, and his sumo background, while atypical, has aided him immensely.
While Dallas Winston will no doubt break this fight down far better than I ever will, the old cliche is worth repeating: styles make fights. Machida only ever took a stupid breath in his second fight with Rua at UFC 113: watching that fight recently I was struck by how aggressive Machida was early on. When he gets caught, it's while he's lunging in for a left: something highly uncharacteristic of a fighter typically heralded for his ability to maintain distance.
I don't expect Machida to make that same mistake, and he hasn't, despite the controversial loss to Quinton Jackson. The talking point when it comes to Jones often centers around his maturity. Jones can be disagreeable, and the Evans fiasco inflamed that perception.
But what I find interesting about this fight is that Machida will, I think, reveal much about Jones' maturity in the cage. The perception of Machida may not be what it once was, but that's not to say he should be taken any less seriously. Every opponent who beat Machida had to tweak bits of their game: Shogun was never more measured, or calculated with his striking than in their first match (I'd argue it was the best Shogun has ever looked, Pride days included), and Quinton fought with a real gameplan in successfully pressuring Machida (to the extent that he was successful).
Fighting Machida requires at least some adjustment. And so it's at least moderately shocking that he's flown so low under the media radar. I don't think he'll win. But I do think Jones can look vulnerable if he ignores whatever adjustments Machida will force him to make. Less Modern English, and more Talking Heads, Machida is no one hit wonder. Jones would do well to remember that.

We're going all over the place on this one, so stay with us.
Golden Valley's tremendous golf year has come to an end.
Baseball is as traditional a sport as you get.
Golden Valley sophomore Jonathan Kang advanced to the CIF/SCGA Regional State Qualifier (or the Southern California championship) with a 3-over 74 on Tuesday at the CIF-Southern Section Boys Golf Individual Championship.
This "youth" label kept getting in the way of Santa Clarita Christian baseball considering itself a bona fide CIF-championship caliber team this season.
Mike Killinger, who took over as interim Valencia High baseball head coach when Jared Snyder was put on a leave of absence on March 21, has been hired to take over the job on a permanent basis.
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO - Blame was never an option.
One of Major League Baseball's biggest stories last week was Valencia High graduate and Detroit Tigers infielder Danny Worth pitching twice and displaying an impressive knuckleball.
There are no more.
The end of the era could have been at the plate with Nick Valaika up in the bottom of the seventh inning and his Hart Indians down six runs to Orange Lutheran in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Division I playoffs on Friday.
We've sort of neglected the play of Saugus' Braden and Aden combo because of two other great Foothill League stories this year - Golden Valley sophomore Jonathan Kang's ascension to the top of the Foothill League and Hart's displacing six-time champion West Ranch as league champion.
MISSION HILLS - If Foothill League play for Saugus could be broken down into a seven-inning game, it would be a quick start, a lead in the middle and finally close but not enough.
Want to win a CIF baseball championship?
As expected, four Foothill League teams made the CIF-Southern Section Division I baseball playoffs.
To say Canyon baseball's season has been frustrating is an understatement.
New England Patriots running back and Valencia High graduate Shane Vereen has his reasons for conducting a football camp at Valencia High this Saturday morning, and they all involve home.
Editor's note: Today marks the seventh in a series in which we recognize athletes at the local high schools who represent their respective schools not so much by what they do on the field, but off of it. We call them "More than an athlete."

On the heels of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft and nearing the midway point in the professional baseball season, we get back to our own summertime tradition.
In a season of change, Valencia High School made another big shift on Friday by relieving longtime boys head basketball coach Rocket Collins of his duties.
One said it was a crazy day. The other said it was a long day.
Valencia High graduate Alison Lee is in St. Louis today representing the United States for the 2014 Curtis Cup - a biannual event pitting the U.S. team, made up of the best amateur females in the country, against the Great Britain and Ireland teams.
In the last five-year span (2009 to 2013), Major League Baseball teams have selected a Santa Clarita Valley product 38 times in the First-Year Player Draft and the fewest selected in one year was four in 2013.

I also forgot to mention that the same day Jeff had told me that Gary and Bill thought the line needed bolts. I can see the line next to this one could need bolts but this line does not need bolts, and so I guess maybe part of the ascent could have been a statement on anti bolting. Because there is an over amount of unnecessary bolting in the area. the line goes on gear, and thats that.
I think you should change the name on it, something like Cleanings for Pimps. Or Clean Faster Gary. You know reflect the nature of how the route was done, make it funny.
Well, well, well, the plot thickens. I'm inclined to retract my earlier statements and call it an honest mistake if Paul thought he had permission from someone he believed was part of the cleaning crew. Douche-bag status revoked... at least for now, barring new information. On a slightly different topic though I'd be interested to hear more about the bolts. How many? What is the gear like without them? Is leading the route sans bolts an R/X horror show or a reasonable endeavor for someone climbing at the grade? For the record I'm not at all opposed to bolts or bolted routes but wonder if bolted routes that can be led safely on gear (G or PG protection rating) is the direction anyone wants the ADKs to go. Maybe a topic for a different thread?
I would like to thank everybody for their support here, particularly the very nice things that you said Justin. I accomplished one thing by starting this post and that is I found out just what happened. Jeff Erickson did do a minority part of the cleaning on that climb. I, and others, have had problems with Jeff before. We will not in the future because there will be no association with him. Paul, your response was very reasonable. I don�t suppose you wish to withdraw your first ascent or the naming of the climb. You are obviously a very good climber; I have seen several climbers on that route and it is not easy. You said that you went out to the cliff to repeat �Flavor of the day.� Have you ever done �CB loves grannies?� As for the number of bolts at Lost T, I have some comments on that but they will probably start a firestorm, so I will begin another post on that. There is, in fact, another post already going on about that but considering the way it got started I would rather start again with a new one. Again, thanks everyone for your comments.
Headpoint Hero?
Sorry to have jumped to conclusions Paul, you seem like a good dude. Sounds like some miscommunication between Jeff and Gary.
when I climb its purely for fun. I have given FAs away just to see someone have fun and get psyched.
The part of this that smacks of bull to me is that this Paul guy goes to a crag to lead some "hardman" route that has a bolt on it and then headpoints an easier route and claims it doesn't need bolts. Not that he stick clipped the bolt, but that is what the mp.com description recommends. (see flavor of the day ) I'm not sure you are the guy to make the call that this route doesn't need bolts. I have no beef with the fact that you thought you were being gifted an FA, but the rest I disagree with. Headpointing messes up the ability of a climber to understand the experience of leading ground up. Gary C Thomann, if you think this route needs a bolt, it is your route, do it. Just because it got climbed before you were done preparing the line doesn't mean anything.
"What I see is the problem with this type of approach is that no where in your description on this website does it say that you head pointed this route. Whether you intended to do it in this style or not, this is what has transpired. Now when people go to lead this thing from the ground they will assume that ground up was the style of the first ascent and try to match it. On top of that you are trying to make some kind of statement against bolts in your route description. Which is kind of hypocritical since you were only at the cliff to climb a bolted route. "- Darren I see what you are saying now, and understand how it could cause some problems with people. But thats where the safety grading comes into play, (G,PG-13,R,X) I added the Pg-13 to the rating because there is a potential of getting hurt, and thats just the nature of climbing but with this particular climb if you blow the first crux you hit the ledge. You can still ground up Lead this climb no problem, just understand the type of situation you are getting into. Im not antibolts, im anti bolts on routes that could go on gear. Either way if you head point the route or go ground up you'll still have to look for the gear placements and place them.
If Jeff sold you on the FA under the pretense HE cleaned the route, then my apologies. Jeff would then be the asshole, and you simply caught up in the mess. Unfortunately it doesn't necessarily change anything for Gary other than the focus of his disdain onto Jeff. I think in light of these details, it would seem reasonable to me that you should seriously consider revoking your FA and just leaving it to the Lost T crew to finish. I know if I was in your shoes that's what I would do. Technically my first FA was in a very similar situation where friends had cleaned a wall with a couple routes on them, each of them (3) had a route and offered me the fourth line depsite me only putting in 10% of the time they did cleaning, and maybe only a little more effort into helping with misc approach related things. I still don't consider that a FA. My first and only real FA was recently at Crane, where I cleaned the route myself top to bottom and led it. I feel proud of having done this. I'd say 95% of the work that goes into the climb has NOTHING to do with climbing. It's elbow grease, sweat, and in my case some blood. I wonder if the FA (Dixie Normous) right of Five Star Crack is another poach. I was there the day Jeff led it. The route was probably half cleaned before he finished cleaning it. Might be a little more of a gray area in that case.
I personally dont care about the whole bolt contreversy at this cliff. I am, however, curious as to the back story behind Dixie Normus. I was there at Lost T for the first time the day it was sent and participated in the FA. Honestly I spent most of my time staring at LK and 5star crack and didnt pay the bolts much mind at all until they were explained to me. Anyways....poaching routes is not cool and i know first hand how much work goes into cleaning something. I will say that Jeff did put a few hours of scrubbing in that day and stated that he had started clean Dixie Normus the prior weekend. I am taking his word for it unless someone tells me otherwise.
Just some food for thought... every act on public land must be scrutinized. www.accessfund.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=tmL5KhNWL>>> This issue isn't just an ADK one. If we want to continue to enjoy our quality of climbing we really need to get on board with the spirit of this article.

The U.S. Coast Guard in Traverse City has a new logo thanks to the help of a local high school student.
Sarah Schade, a senior at Grand Traverse Academy, won the contest to design a logo for Air Station Traverse City.
Coast Guard officials and the school honored her with an assembly.
The design will be used for a patch on the air station's uniform and is already painted on the side of the hangar. The old logo had been in use for 17 years.
The air station selected the design from 18 entries submitted by high school students in the Grand Traverse area. At the assembly, Sarah was presented with the commanding officer's coin, a rare and prestigious honor.

He asked me to be his wife
To be honest, I knew it was coming.
We had talked about getting married that coming summer. I knew he had talked to my parents. A few weeks before, he had ditched the class we had together (history of religion- pharisees & sadducees) and would not tell me where he went. I had a hunch that the ring was purchased that day.
He knew this too. He knew me well- that I tend to figure out surprises before they happen. That I can tell when he is hiding something from me. That I would be curious any time he took me on a date.
He was smart.
Valentine's Day was coming up. I knew he wouldn't propose on Valentine's Day because he thought that was cheesy. Then again- would he surprise me by completely going against my expectations and do it on the 14th?
He was smart.
He planned a decoy engagement. Starting a few days into February, he took me on a date every day. Sometimes fancy, sometimes not. On that first date night, he gave me a piece of foam board that had been cut to look like a puzzle piece. It had writing on it, but I had no idea what it was a part of. During each date, he gave me another puzzle piece. I was starting to catch on. I figured that once I had all of the puzzle pieces, it would say something romantic and lead to his proposal.
He was smart.
I no longer questioned whether that day's date would be "the one" because I knew I needed many more puzzle pieces.
I only had 5 puzzle pieces and none of them fit together. I expected that the following week, around Valentine's Day, I would have all of the puzzle pieces.
On a wednesday, he told me to dress cute to my bible study because he would be picking me up to take me to dinner afterward. Totally normal. This would be a short date, because we had to be back on campus at 7 for the weekly meeting for Campus Crusade for Christ. He was on the worship team, so I knew we wouldn't be missing it.
We went out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Il Fornaio. He hardly ate. On the drive back down Santa Monica Blvd, he was playing a fun playlist he had put together, ending with a live Jeff Buckley song about being a husband. I did not catch on to anything.
We got back to UCLA, he practiced with the band and Cru started as normal. After the set of songs, the rest of the band sat down and Daveed stayed up in front by himself. **I am still not expecting anything at this point**. He starts talking about how we are a community that supports each other and shares in each others lives… blah blah blah… I'm thinking that we are going to break into groups and pray or something. Then it happened. He called me to the front.
There in the science lecture hall, he sang me a love song in front of 300 of our friends. This was extremely significant because he had never before played any song he had written about me. I finally got it. This was the moment. The love of my life had completely fooled me and surprised me in a way I would have never expected. And he asked me to marry him.
He was smart :)
The puzzle pieces? Totally a decoy (although they were a part of the lyrics from the song he wrote).
He carried me out of the room through the nearest door he could find, which turned out to be the chemistry supply closet. It was there that I said yes.
7 years ago, I was blown away by what a thoughtful, creative and talented fiance I had. 7 years later, I am still daily blown away by the man I get to share my life with.
Because I get teary eyed every time I see that Robbins Bros commercial while watching Parenthood on Hulu, I thought I would share the video of his song and proposal. Enjoy :)
Daveed & Courtney's proposal- Feb 9th 2005 from courtney toney on Vimeo.

LAWTON Okla_ The mayors of
both Lawton and Duncan
have been nominated for Oklahoma's
Mayor of the Year.
Mayor Fred Fitch
and Mayor Gene Brown are in charge of two different cities, but when it comes
to the people in their communities, they feel exactly the same. Gene Brown has
been Duncan's
number one man for four years, but he's been involved in the community for
nearly three decades. He said it's the people of Duncan that keep him going.
"That's my
favorite part," Brown said. "I love people, and you'd have to love people to do
this job."
He said his
nomination came as a surprise.
"You find
out the group that's been nominated also," Brown said. "It's a great honor just
to be in that group."
It's Brown's
years of public service that's kept communication between the city and its
citizens top notch.
there are activities, I try to represent the city there, and not just my views
but the citizens' views as well," Brown said. "You meet a lot of people and get
a lot of different opinions and different ideas. Most of all, I think everyone
wants what's best for the city."
He's the not
the only one with some serious credentials. Fred Fitch of Lawton has served on several committees and
held numerous appointments by former mayors. He said it's the downtown project
that he is most proud of.
are going up, Kohl's is breaking ground, and the west side project is up and
running," Fitch said. "I can't wait to see what kind of influx we have in sales
tax. It's been my goal to increase the tax base, not increase taxes, but
increase the tax base."
Fitch said it's
more than just the nomination for Mayor of the Year that makes him proud.
"Being nominated
for mayor of the year is a tremendous honor in itself, but the real honor is I
was nominated by people I work with here everyday," Fitch said. "Those are
people that are just becoming family."
Both mayors
believe there's still work to be done, especially with things like
infrastructure and budgets. They say they love what they do though, and that's
the real award they receive everyday.
"We're a
can-do city, a togetherness city," Brown said. "When something happens, all the
citizens pull together and pull the resources together."
"Lawton is being
recognized for our aggressiveness, our growth, our vision," Fitch said. "People
do notice you're making a difference and you do have visions and goals that are
needed within this community."
Mayor Fitch and
Mayor Brown are in the same category for Oklahoma
cities with a population of 5,000 or more. They'll find out who wins next week
at the Oklahoma Municipal League's awards banquet in Tulsa.

Thailand's Looming Crisis
Peter Mellgard & Walter Mead, The American Interest

Thailand's struggles touch on issues that Thais for various reasons don't like to speak openly and frankly about: the role of the monarchy, the health of the king and ethnic and regional divisions inside the country. But these issues are of the utmost importance.

Hush in Ballarat
Ballarat is a town about 105 kilometres outside of Melbourne. In 1851 someone found gold here, which started a gold rush so lot's more people came to live here and in 1871 it was officially made a city. In 1854 there was an argument here called the "Eureka" uprising, which is really famous and they even made their own flag which is in the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery. There are lot's of pretty old buildings here in Ballarat too, and this great statue of Queen Victoria. They also have some yummy bakeries where you can buy lamingtons (my favourite!).

See, someone had just died. Here were all of her things, I'm trying to sort them out - and here was her Gram records. I had never known that Gram sang "Love Hurts," honest to God. I thought that was a Nazareth song. I know a lot about music, but sometimes I'm still that dumb kid who grew up in the 70's.
I spent about 3 weeks in that apartment listening to those albums over and over, and I thought ... this is what miracles are. That something so beautiful, angelic and sorrowful could whisper in the background of your life as your friends were all hip to it ... but sometimes the music waits until exactly when you need it. Then it runs you over like a Mack truck. The kind of Mack truck that heals you while you fall in love with it.
I had to put aside Gram for years, because the pain was too great. See, it was my best friend's Mom who had just died. I'd never been in a situation to have an aging parent, and I certainly had never been around to take an older woman to her (frustrating) doctor appointments, carry grocery bags upstairs and talk about how Nevada Barr is no Faulkner, but sometimes you can go the prettiest places in a 1.99 soft cover from Moe's Books in Berkeley, when you can't afford to get on a plane. Or when you're dying, and you probably know that deep in your bones. I'd never watched someone I respected so much ... just waste away. Disappear.
I wish we'd talked about her music too, because that woman had some damn good records. (You bet a whole lot of Emmylou was in in there was well.) You never know someone it seems, until far too late. What would my life had been like if she'd hit play on "Love Hurts" back in the summer of 2003? Different, but in a way, I suppose this was better. I can't judge.
