HAMPTON, Va. – The Hoop Group Southern Jam Fest got underway on Friday at the Boo Williams Sportsplex and NBE Sports was on hand to take in the action. Throughout the night, we saw several standout performances and got to speak with a few players at the event.
Anthony Barber: The 6'2 point guard out of Hampton (VA) was absolutely sensational for Boo Williams in a blowout victory over the Stafford Hoyas to open up the event. Barber did basically anything he wanted with the ball and was nearly unstoppable when it came to getting to the rim. He scored at the basket, hit open teammates for layups, knocked down 3-pointers, and displayed a nasty crossover. Barber, an elite prospect in the 2013 class, had the look of a top 10 player as he dominated the game from start to finish in a number of different ways.
Rockell Lee-Vaughn: A little-known 5'9 point guard out of Springarn (DC), Lee-Vaughn had a superb showing in Metroball DC's victory over East Coast Fusion. The class of 2012 prospect is clearly undersized, but he has a strong frame and quality quickness that help him make up for it. He can really hit shots from beyond the 3-point line and is also adept at making pull-up jumpers. Lee-Vaughn is a tough kid who also has some major leaping ability.

The Hoop Group's Pittsburgh Jam Fest came to a close Sunday with some very intense semifinals and championship games. Many of the usual suspects who had been playing well all weekend continued to do so on Sunday but one squad of 2014 players in particular stepped its game up an extra notch and NBE has the rundown.
Caleb Martin and Cody Martin (Team Loaded NC 16U, 2014, Davie) – Even more so than the Harrison brothers in the grade above them, these two 6'6" wings have extremely similar bodies and games. In fact, at this point in their development, they play almost exactly alike. They're both fairly slender but appear to have the frame to really add strength and muscle. In leading Team Loaded (NC) to the 16U championship on Sunday, the two uber-talented North Carolina natives showed off a nice mix of skill and athleticism and played very well off of each other. Both are good passers that like to work in the high post and on the wing slashing to the basket. They also attack the glass and are active on defense. Their jump shots are decent right now but could certainly improve. In a competitive quarterfinal game against a solid Team Work (OH) squad in the morning on Sunday, Cody finished with 14 points, a handful of rebounds, and a couple of steals while Caleb put up 19 points including a couple of threes and several boards as well.
Also like the Harrisons, Caleb and Cody are 100 percent a package deal as far as their recruitment goes. Still early for the rising juniors, they already have offers from North Carolina State, Wake Forest, and Virginia Tech and are hearing from the likes of North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Xavier, Clemson, Kansas, and Georgetown. Both said they can see themselves in the ACC but that they'd like to wait and take as much time as they can before making their decision.

If you are looking for a big man to rebound and defend in your Class of 2012 recruiting efforts, 6-foot-9 power forward Elijah Macon could be your man. Yes, he can also finish around the cup and is by no means a major weakness offensively, but his offensive skill set down low is still developing. However, what Macon does do quite well is rebound and defend, two things that are very important. A well built post player with a strong frame, Macon, for the most part, understands his strengths and weaknesses and does not force things. He plays solid interior defense and is an overall sound player who does a lot of the little things.
Miami, West Virginia, Iowa, South Florida, Cincinnati, Xavier, USC and Dayton were the offers listed by Macon this past weekend while playing in the AAU National Championships for the All-Ohio Red program in Orlando. He also mentioned Memphis, Maryland, Georgetown, Kansas and Florida, noting that he has more offers and interest.

When a who's who of the college coaching profession is on hand a show is expected. And 2013 prospect Jabari Parker provided that and then some in Mac Irvin Fire's win over Worldwide Renegades in the evening session of the Las Vegas Fab 48 at Bishop Gorman. Parker showed off his vast array of skills in front of the likes of Dave Rose (BYU), Oliver Purnell (DePaul), Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), Bruce Weber (Illinois), Buzz Williams (Marquette) and Tom Izzo (Michigan State) among others.
Also playing well in the win for Mac Irvin were 2012 forward Steve Taylor and 2012 guards Aaric Armstead and Derrick Randolph. Taylor won't be graded on the same level as Parker but make no mistake about it, the young man is skilled. Taylor showed off the ability to step out and attack the rim, doing a solid job of playing with contact and knocking down mid-range shots. Randolph, while he looks shorter than his listed height of 5'9", is the kind of winning player that all successful teams tend to have.
Randolph was highly competitive at both ends of the floor, setting up teammates for easy baskets on quick drives to the basket and disrupting the Renegades defensively. Armstead may not have had the impact scoring-wise that some of the other players had, but he did the little things especially on the defensive end. And 2013 DePaul commit Billy Garrett Jr. proved to be a tough matchup due to his crafty handle and ability to knock down a variety of shots.

The live July evaluation period is right around the corner. Once again NBE will be out in full force during both 10-day recruiting periods, stretching from East to West and North and South to keep up with all the recruiting information. It is always a fun process to see what college coaches are out on the recruiting trail and who they are watching.
In the meantime, the phones of top prospects in the Class fo 2013 have been ringing off the hook as colleges are permitted to contact a recruit once a month on the phone or via email. June 15th was the first day contact was allowed and programs wasted little time reaching out to prospects.
"Santa Clara called me at 12:00 on the dot," said Tyler Ennis. "Oregon State, Santa Clara and Iowa State all did."
Ennis is a 6-foot-3, 178-pound guard who plays on the AAU spring and summer circuit with CIA Bounce out of Canada. He attended St. Benedict's in Newark (NJ) last season and has had a busy early summer season with trips to LA for the Pangos Camp and to the University of Virginia campus for the recent NBA Top 100 Camp. His play has drawn very good reviews and it shows in the latest list of schools that have been in contact since the 15th.

April 14, 2011 – This past weekend Big Shots teamed with DC Assault to put on a grassroots tourney in District Heights, Maryland. An estimated 100-plus teams spanning the 10-under through 17-under age groupings strapped on their shoes, taking the hardwood in battle. There were a number that played who are getting BIG EAST looks as future high-major recruits. Some of these players already have a reputation readers are aware off while others will be players to keep an eye on as they work to build up their names in the coming months on the AAU circuit.
First off, the well known….
One such guy, Nate Britt, is already highly recruited by conference schools, with Villanova, Georgetown and Seton Hall having all offered the 6-foot-2 sophomore (Class of 2013) who shoots with his left but can dribble with both hands. West Virginia and Rutgers join others that are interested, including Virginia, Duke, and Texas. Arizona and UCLA have also offered Nate, a guard that can drive, shoot and pass, along with think the game.
What does he think about the BIG EAST? "It's the best conference in America right now" was Britt's response. Nate was one of the best players in this tourney, making i95Ballerz.com's first team all star unit.
His DC Assault teammate, 6-foot-4 Torian Graham was tagged second team, and is also in high demand from conference schools, identifying Georgetown as having offered, and West Virginia being interested. UCLA, Clemson, Boston College and Miami have also invited him to attend, while Florida, Kentucky, Florida State and Kansas and others may do so soon.
Graham is a high flyer, one that can also drain jumpers from long distance, and defend in open court/press situations. An up and down style would seemingly fit him just fine.

Major Canady was raised in ACC Country.
The 6-foot-3, 195 pound point guard prospect has long dreamed of suiting up and playing in the league he grew up watching in North Carolina. "I would really like to play in the ACC," says Canady, "growing up in Carolina that's all I saw." Canady, if the interest he's receiving — along with his athleticism and body — is any indication, will probably get that chance when the time comes for him to make a college decision.
This summer's Grassroots circuit will go a long way towards Canady reaching that goal, with coaches from the ACC — not to mention the Big East, Big Ten and A-10 — all ready to be courtside to see if Canady can handle his business on the court at a projected high major level.
Wake Forest's staff is said to love him and most of the assistants on the Demon Deacon bench have already seen him play. Canady says that come July, head coach Jeff Bzdelik also plans to watch him play for the BSA U-16 squad (Canady will play with the 17′s at Bob Gibbons). In fact, Canady recently spent some quality time on the scenic campus of Wake Forest with his father and sister. And all of the Canady clan came away from the trip extremely impressed.

8am - 4pm pacific time
In order to recreate the magic of southern France, Mariage Frères has taken a grand green tea with a flowery, slightly grassy scent, and blended it with fruits from Provence, dominated by ripe red and black berries, creating an intense bouquet that is round in the mouth, concentrated in flavour, supported by the warm aroma of wild lavender and the sweetness of rose petals.
Since 1854, Mariage Frères has been sourcing and blending the worlds' finest teas. And their history goes back even further, to the 1600s in fact, when their ancestors began sailing to distant lands in search of new and exotic flavors. For 150 years, their teas have been brewed at the worlds' finest restaurants, hotels and teahouses.
Posted by Stephanie on 3rd Mar 2010
I love all of Mariage Freres Teas (well maybe I haven't tried all of them as I think there are more than 100). This is a particular favorite. It is a soft green tea with lots of florals and herbs--nice, smooth and interesting. This is my favorite green tea!

Was looking for an airback rucksack. this was just what i wanted. it has 2 main compartments so you can get water and lunch in the top and waterproofs etc in the bottom. but it also has loads of little pockets for various bits and pieces. chest strap height is adjustable which is good. the waist strap sits a bit high on me though. carried it for 6 hours and was comfortable and to the point, my back didn't sweat, so no clammy cold sensation when you take it off.
August 22, 2014
Only issue is there are no velcro hoops for the hydration back but very comfortable to wear.
August 11, 2014
I can't believe just how much i can get in this. lots of pockets and everything you could need in a backpack for a day hike
August 05, 2014
I have yet to use it but i am sure that i will be able to pack all that i need for my trip into all the pockets/space provided.
glad that it has a breathable back support
Good size, comfortable and handy array of pockets. i haven't used it on a full days hike yet, but it seems comfortable enough.
For full terms and conditions please see our Delivery & Returns policy

Out of the 30 teams in the NBA, only two teams have yet to confirm whether they'll be headed to the postseason or gone fishing when the regular season ends later this week. Thanks to a solid bit of scheduling, those two teams will meet with a playoff berth on the line Tuesday night, when the Phoenix Suns visit the Utah Jazz.
The Western Conference's eighth and final seed is the only one still up for grabs, and heading into Tuesday night's game, the Jazz hold a one-game advantage over the Suns. Utah could wrap up a postseason berth with a win, but the Suns will control their destiny if they're able to pick up a win when the game tips off at 10:30 p.m. ET as the second game of a TNT doubleheader.
If the Suns do defeat the Jazz, though, a playoff berth still isn't firmly within their grasp. Phoenix would need to either beat the West's top-seeded San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night or have the Jazz lose to the Portland Trail Blazers in their season finale, something that seems a bit unlikely considering the Blazers are already out of the playoffs and likely playing for a better spot in the lottery as opposed to concentrating on playing the role of spoiler.
The matchups will be key and, according to Bright Side of the Sun, Phoenix will need to win the battle of the backcourt if they're going to pick up a victory. That sounds like it might be easier said than done, but the Suns might be able to pull it off as long as Paul Millsap doesn't go crazy ... or D-League call-up Blake Ahearn negates the entire scouting report by scorching the nets from beyond the arc.
For more on the Suns, be sure to visit Bright Side of the Sun. To get news and views from a Jazz perspective, check out SLC Dunk.

Forecast: Light snow possible SE tonight and early Tuesday
CLEVELAND - 9:00 pm Update: Skies are mostly cloudy across the area now because of a weak weather system sliding south across Kentucky tonight. That system will spread some light snow across our region tonight and early Tuesday. Most of us will just see a few flakes. A few spots south along US Route 30 may pick up a half an inch by 10 am Tuesday. Low temperatures will bottom out in middle and upper 20s.
The light snow will linger through the Tuesday morning commute. Then, as drier air moves in, we should see at least a little sunshine during the afternoon hours. Highs will be chilly, in the middle and upper 30s.
A weak Alberta Clipper low pressure system will slide through the Northern Great Lakes on Wednesday. We could see a few light snow flurries east of Cleveland during the day. otherwise, I expect mainly cloudy skies area wide. Highs will climb into the upper 30s.
A slow warm-up begins on Thursday at temperatures climb through the 40s. Highs Saturday and Sunday will top out between 50 and 55 degrees. I expect a few rain showers Friday and again on Sunday.
Follow Jason on Facebook and Twitter for forecast updates.
We'll see increasing clouds Monday afternoon as a cold front slides south of us. Highs will run near 40. The front will stall south of us and a storm will ride along it providing some light snow across SE sections of our viewing area late Monday into Tuesday.
Some areas are enjoying morning sunshine, others are trapped under cloudy skies.
Increasing clouds are in the forecast today with highs near 40 degrees. Our average high temperature for this time of the year is 46 degrees, but we won't be that warm until Friday.
Developing low pressure over Tennessee will move toward the Mid-Atlantic Tuesday. This system will stay far enough south that it doesn't affect our weather in Northeast Ohio.
I can't rule out an isolated snow shower tonight through early Tuesday, but I expect mainly dry weather. Overnight lows will drop to the upper 20s.
Some sunshine is possible Tuesday, but highs will be chilly. Temperatures will struggle to reach the mid-30s.
A weak front will linger over the northern Great Lakes Wednesday and Thursday. However, high pressure will hold steady over Northeast Ohio, bringing sunshine and highs in the low 40s.
By the end of the week, warmer, southerly flow will boost temperatures to the 50s. Rain showers are possible Saturday and Sunday.
When storms are in the forecast, are you prepared? Our new STORM SHIELD app could save your life! You'll get critical alerts via voice and text regarding life-threatening weather events.

The Rams haven't had much to write home about lately, but at least they can take pride that their long-time running back Steven Jackson has achieved a rushing benchmark that puts him in very good company. In their Week 15 game against the Minnesota Vikings, Rams running back Steven Jackson surpassed 10,000 career rushing yards. He came into the game with 9,929 and after 73 yards on 13 carries early in the fourth quarter he hit the bench mark that few NFL backs have ever achieved.
Jackson, who had seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons coming into the 2012 season, has been the one bright spot that many Rams fans could cheer about despite the fact that they haven't had a winning season since 2003. Jackson, known for his tough running style and for being a leader on and off the field, has had a great career even though he has only been in the playoffs once (the Rams made the playoffs as an 8-8 team in Jackson's rookie season).
There have been 26 NFL running backs to hit the 10,000 rushing yards benchmark and of those 26, 13 are in the NFL Hall of Fame, which doesn't include players like Ledainian Tomlinson, who will likely be in the Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible. Of course, Jackson has quite a few years left to play if he plans on becoming the all-time NFL rushing leader as he would have to rack up over 18,355 yards to unseat Emmitt Smith.

Modern Quilt Guild Submission…
Until recently, I never considered submitting one of my quilts into a quilt show. Overwhelmingly, I make quilts for my family and to give away and I love doing that. But, when the Modern Quilt Guild announced that it would be showcasing works that present that aesthetic at Quilt Market this fall, I got excited and wanted to enter. After thinking about what I loved most about modern quilting, I made this:
The print is one of my favorite Nani Iro florals. I wanted to capture the floaty feeling that the shapes give in the fabric to the overall quilt. I paired the print with a happy orange shot cotton and an ivory background. I had the strips on my design wall for a really long time. I changed their order, and fussed with the space between the fabrics. But when it came time to put together, it went quickly. Never have I felt so confident in my design. It was a wonderful feeling; I felt like I was finally finding how and what I really want to be making. I hoped more than anything that it would be accepted into the showcase.
When I heard that it wasn't selected, that only 33 quilts were chosen and not to give up, I sighed. I felt a twinge of jealousy. My husband hugged me. And then, I started thinking about my favorite thing. The Next Quilt. And then I was fine. I really did want to have it in the showcase, but it is really ok that it's not. I made the kind of quilt that makes me happy, and says what I want to say as a quilter. That's not a small thing, and for that I am happy.

Though the best title for his biography is fast becoming "Puddles & Piles" (because apparently after 15 years a dog spontaneously decides that the whole world, not just the backyard, is his personal bathroom), and though he is increasingly blind, mostly deaf, and has always been quite dumb, Poochini has, nonetheless, survived cliffs, buses, and raccoons well enough to make it to his "sweet 16" -- at least by our best estimates.
Told by the vet when we got him that he he was "about 1.25 years old based on his dental records," we assigned Poochini a birth date of October 5th, 1995, with the exact date chosen because it matched that of my grandmother -- who would be 118 today if she were in slightly better health.
Three days ago, Poochini looked like this.
Awwwww!!!!!!!!!!!! Who's a pooch?

Yoga for a Glowing Skin
Not only does
help in keeping your body
and energetic, but also aids the health of your
thus providing you with a natural
and radiance. Our ancestors did not use any cosmetic products, but still exhibited a glow and shine which was reflective of inner health.
Yoga is well known for its
techniques and it really does help to reduce
. Stress is a common factor in dull, tired skin, and by reducing that stress you will no doubt end up with clearer skin. You might ask as to what is in yoga that it can boost up the health of one's skin along with preventing the
and fine lines. Very simple- yoga balances hormones and boosts the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your skin. This in turn keeps the skin resilient and prevents
and excessive sagging. Not to forget- it also tones the muscles of your
and neck to prevent the trouble of double chin. Reducing body's toxicity is also a task which yoga can easily accomplish thereby helping you to remain young and fresh forever.
Shitli Kumbhaka Paranayam
This yogic asana is extremely useful for skin and has the potential to reduce facial wrinkles and purify the blood.
To perform this asana, you need to first fold your tongue so that it protrudes a little from the mouth.
Slowly inhale through the mouth and you should feel coolness inside the neck when inhaling. Then swallow the breath and hold inside your stomach for a few seconds before exhaling through the nose.
Kneel on the floor and then sit down on your heels, or sit on the edge of a chair. Rest your hands on your knees with your fingers spread apart. Imagine that you are a regal lion, fierce and powerful. Take a deep

Lean forward slightly as you exhale through your mouth, extending your tongue out as far as you can, opening your eyes and mouth wide, and roaring "Aaah!" At the same time, lift your hands off your knees and spread your fingers wide, pretending they are claws.
When you have exhaled completely, sit back, return your hands to your knees, and relax. Take two full, deep breaths. And then take another deep breath in through your nose as you lengthen your spine.
Repeat steps 2 to 3 three more times. When you're done, sit for a moment and notice how you feel.

Stand with your feet about hip width apart and your arms at your sides.
Keep your feet rooted to the floor as you fold forward from your hips, keeping your back flat. Continue until your torso is hanging from your hips, and then grasp each elbow with the opposite hand. If you feel unsteady, stand a few inches away from a wall and lean your buttocks against the wall.

Yoga is a really strenuous exercise which works every
in the body, however it is done quite slowly and so you do not really sweat as much as you would do with other more active exercises. This is great news for people with acne as it can often provide really good benefits for the condition, and it can sometimes also even clear it up. As every muscle in your body is worked, it helps to keep them toned and that in turn keeps the
skin firm
. Overall, yoga is excellent for the skin and it can also provide good benefits for people with blemishes and even
. As well as benefits to the skin, yoga provides benefits for the whole body and it can be practiced by both males and females. So, if you are looking for an exercise to keep you in shape, decrease your stress and keep your skin looking healthy and toned no matter what your age, yoga is definitely for you!

Google glass+Microsoft Kinnect... Futurist dreaming
Imagine google glass style glasses with a Kinnect sensor across the rim that tracks your hands, allowing you to interact with the projected objects via direct manipulation. Certain gestures like "opening a book" could be used to access menus. Another approach for "system gestures" could be to mimic swiping from "edges" like windows 8, where the edge objects are also projected as hot spots that you can interact with. To avoid accidentally hitting or groping people, you would be advised to look down or up when gesturing. Or consider that you could have this available to you while you work from the comfort of a chair, without requiring an office desk. In terms of ergonomic considerations, it may be advisable to have an actual physical object that proxies the virtual one and allows for complex interaction like a rubix cube or a ball.... Could this be another direction for NUI?

Young man and woman critically injured in motorcycle crash
Photo: Image by STAFF PHOTO
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- A man and woman, both 18 years old, are in critical condition at University Medical Center after a crash at about 8:29 p.m. Tuesday night at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard South and Silverado Ranch Boulevard.
The preliminary investigation revealed that Eriz Nzuwa was traveling southbound in the right travel lane of Las Vegas Boulevard on his 2012 Honda motorcycle. Tonya Leafham was his passenger.
A 2012 Mini Cooper, driven by 28-year-old Molly Potter, was in the outside left turn lane heading north on on Las Vegas Boulevard.
The motorcycle and car entered the intersection at the same time and crashed.
Nzuwa and Potter were ejected from the bike and sustained critical injured.
Potter suffered minor injuries and was also transported to UMC Trauma.
The collision is still under investigation by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Question: Is Kohanim status inherited from the father only?
Dear Rabbi,
My father's maternal grandfather was a Kohen (Cohain). Because the connection was through his mother, he was never considered a Kohen. With so many changes toward egalitarianism, I am wondering if this has changed. Could my father now be a Kohen? And if so, what about his sons, his daughter (me), and he grandchildren of both sexes?
Thank you.
Answer: Thanks for your letter. You state that your father's maternal grandfather was a Kohen and you wonder, based on all the "changes toward egalitarianism" in Reform and Conservative Judaism, if you could be considered a Kohen.
Kohanim (plural of Kohen) are the male-line descendants of the priests of ancient Israel. In the time when the Temple stood in Jerusalem, this caste was charged with performing the rituals of the Temple, including sacrificial offerings of animals, fruits, grains and wine. Levi'im (plural of Levi) are male-line descendents of the ancient Levites who assisted the priests in the Temple.
Since the destruction of the Temple in the year 70 c.e., Kohanim have taken on a more symbolic role in traditional Jewish practice. Orthodox and most Conservative congregations continue the tradition of giving Kohanim the first aliyah (blessing over the Torah reading) when Torah is read. Kohanim in these communities also perform the ritual of dukhenen, blessing the congregation on festivals, and receiving the five shekels of redemption for a firstborn Jewish boy (pidyon ha-ben).
In traditional observance, there also are restrictions on the caste of Kohanim. In orthodox and Conservative communities, Kohanim are expected to abstain from coming in contact with the dead, which includes a prohibition on visiting cemeteries except for the funerals of close relatives. Orthodoxy continues the prohibition of Kohanim from marrying converts or women who previously divorced.
In contrast, egalitarianism is an important principle of Reform Judaism and the Reform Movement has promoted egalitarianism in the realms of both gender and caste. Reform Judaism has eliminated almost all of the ritual distinctions between women and men and between the castes of Kohen, Levi and Yisrael (non-priestly Jews). Most Reform communities do not call up a Kohen for the first aliyah, or perform the rituals of dukhenen and pidyon ha-ben. Reform Jews do not use the appellations, "ha-kohen" or "ha-levi" as part of the Jewish names of Kohanim and Levi'im.
(The Reform movement also eliminated another caste, that of the mamzer. A mamzer is a Jew whose Jewish parents are ineligible to marry each other -- either because they are close blood relations or because the woman is married to another man. According to traditional Jewish law, a mamzer is not permitted to marry another Jew who is not also a mamzer.)
Most Conservative congregations continue to use the caste distinctions of Kohanim and Levi'im, but some are moving away from it. Congregations that recognize the castes of Kohanim and Levi'im only recognize male-line inheritance of caste identity.
Finally, to answer your question, all orthodox and Conservative communities that maintain the distinction of Kohanim and Levi'im continue to follow the tradition that caste status is conveyed only through the father. More liberal communities, those that insist on thorough gender equality, do not observe the distinction of Kohanim and Levi'im at all. There are, therefore, no Jewish communities that would convey the status of Kohen or Levi on the basis of matrilineal descent.
I hope this is helpful.
Best Wishes,
Rabbi Jeffrey W. Goldwasser

Guns should not be part of Starbucks says CEO
Starbucks' policy customers bringing guns to the store has been to follow local gun laws allowing "open carry," which exists in some form in 45 states. But...
Watch: Hold the firearms, says Starbucks' CEO
Forty-five states have "open carry" laws, and Starbucks has a history of welcoming patrons who were packing. Now company CEO Howard Schultz is "respectfully asking" customers not to bring guns into the coffee shops, but stopping short of banning firearms.
"We're not pro- or anti-gun," he told Chris Matthews. But customers who are looking for "respite and community" have said they're "jarred" by the sight of firearms.
"Guns should not be part of the Starbucks coffee retail store experience," Schultz said.

The Orange Leader
So the West Orange-Stark-Jasper game this season really wasn't a "dream."
The two old Southeast Texas rivals, after seeing their non-district game get washed away by bad weather on Sept. 20, will duke it out Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Humble's Turner Stadium in the Class 3A Region III Division I semifinals.
No question about it, both the Mustangs (10-1) and Bulldogs (8-3) are both red-hot entering the tilt.
Both have won their two playoff games by piling up the yardage.
In wins over Huffman (41-9) and West Columbia (61-7) the District 21-3A champion Mustangs have piled up 986 total yards as quarterback Dillon Sterling-Cole has passed for 656 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Meanwhile, the 20-3A runnerup Bulldogs have amassed 1,059 total yards in wins over Palestine (44-34) and Waco LaVega (58-20).
The Bulldogs have won seven out of their last eight games after early non-district losses to Kirbyville and Orangefield.
"It would've been nice to have played Jasper earlier in the season but that's just the way things fell that night," said Thompson. "I know one thing, it's a totally different Jasper team now compared to the one we were getting ready to play back in September. They've really been on a roll of late."
The Mustangs, though, could turn to their old "bellcow", which is the Chain Gang defense.
WO-S is allowing just 211 yards a game for the season and has upped the ante in the postseason, allowing just 107.5, including just 35 against West Columbia.
A still youthful Mustang team will face a Bulldog unit that sports 28 seniors, including a veteran offensive unit led by three-year staring quarterback Steven Walker and running back Terrence Cuney.
"Our kids have really gotten after it and have had a really good run so far and are playing really well and sometimes you have to remember we're still a young football team," said Thompson. "Jasper has 28 seniors and guys that have been through some big games. It should be a good one. We've just got to go out and play smart, sound football."
The Bulldogs have been shredding defenses of late.
In their two playoff wins, Cuney has erupted for 476 yards rushing and six TDs on 50 carries to spark the attack.
Walker has competed 13-of-24 passes and has thrown for 332 yards and four TDs in the playoff wins.
The Bulldogs also have plenty of other weapons that includes Randy Spikes, Chris Spikes, Shawn Jones and Jamarcus Reed.
"It's the same old Jasper, they have athletes all over the place," said Thompson. "They're always capable of the big play and they've been getting them, especially in the playoffs."
Jasper's defense has plenty to prepare for in the form of the balanced Mustangs, who are averaging almost 400 yards a game.
Sterling-Cole has been nothing short of amazing, staying cool and calm for a sophomore who is about to start his third playoff game already.
He's been on the money for most of the season, especially down the stretch and has completed 117-of-186 passes for 2,030 yards and 24 TDs with just two interceptions.
Receiver Will Johnson has been on a tear in the postseason, catching 13 passes for 268 yards and six scores. He now has 36 receptions for 690 yards and 12 TDs.
No question, Sterling-Cole has plenty of firepower to get the ball to including Deionte Thompson (31-595-4), Dwain Boullard (21-302-7), Chris Horn (15-202-0), Chris James (12-135-1) and Tre Spencer (10-208-2).
Both James (97-642-8) and Chase Rutledge (83-441-5) bring swiftness and power to the running game with Sterling-Cole (96-427-11) also getting in on the act.
"Offensively, we've been moving the ball well and Eddie (offensive coordinator Ed Dyer) has been doing a great job mixing it up," said Thompson.
One thing for sure, this certainly isn't the first "rodeo" in the playoffs between the Mustangs and Bulldogs in the postseason.
The Mustangs have won five of the previous six meeting including 21-15 on their first run to the 4A state title in 1986; 38-15 in 1988; 41-7 in 1993; 27-12 in 1997 and 23-0 in 2000 on their way to a state runnerup season. The Bulldogs won in 1994 17-6.
"We've had some good ones over the years, that's for sure," said Thompson. "There's a lot of history there. It should be a good game. It just gets tougher each week and you just want to be the one standing each week. The kids have done a really good job accepting that weekly challenge and hopefully we'll be right back here practicing again next week."
Both District 21-3A and 20-3A have represented the 3A Region III Division I bracket well with four teams in the regional semifinals.
20-3A champion Carthage will take on 21-3A runnerup Silsbee Friday at 4 p.m. at Lamar University with that winner getting the WO-S-Jasper winner.

Recruit McGary Shatters Backboard
Top recruit Mitch McGary is trying to one-up all his peers. McGary breaks backboards in layup lines.
Or at least he did at this weekend's Boost Mobile Elite 24 in Venice Beach, CA.
To be fair, it wasn't a true layup line. A teammate put the ball off the backboard and McGary caught it with two hands, flushed it through and left shattered glass all over the court. The result wasn't nearly as nasty as Oregon State's Roberto Nelson, but McGary still suffered a laceration on his shoulder and was taken to the hospital to receive 37 stitches - after the game, which he watched.
A native of Chesterton, IN, McGary will spend a second season at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire after transferring to and graduating from the prep school in the spring. McGary will be listed as a 2011 high school graduate and be eligible for the 2012 NBA draft.
McGary is a consensus top-five player, according to recruiting websites. Duke, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan and North Carolina are among his top choices.
If he lands in Durham, we see Coach K asking him politely to lay the ball in in pregame warmups.

This paper explores the ability of conditional versions of the CAPM and the consumption CAPM—jointly the (C)CAPM—to explain the cross section of average stock returns. Central to our approach is the use of the log consumption–wealth ratio as a conditioning variable. We demonstrate that such conditional models perform far better than unconditional specifications and about as well as the Fama-French three-factor model on portfolios sorted by size and book-to-market characteristics. The conditional consumption CAPM can account for the difference in returns between low-book-to-market and high-bookto-market portfolios and exhibits little evidence of residual size or book-to-market effects. We are grateful to Eugene Fama and Kenneth French for graciously providing the

News: "It's The Most Bullsh*t Thing I've Ever Heard - You Liked Me Only When I Was Doing Rap"
Monday, Apr 30, 2012 2:00PM
Young Money star Nicki Minaj recently killed the assumption she is a rap-only performer and said singing has been a part of her arsenal even before reaching mainstream succcess.
In Minaj's perspective, she has only recently undergone scrutiny in light of pop success.
She finishes off the sentence for me. "...You hear me singing. And that's the thing. I really want you to write that. Because it's the most bullsh*t thing I've ever heard - you liked me only when I was doing rap. I never only did rap. My first single was called 'Your Love,' and it was a pop song. I did a song called 'Knockout' with Lil Wayne about three years ago. Nobody said anything about that. Why? Because it didn't become huge like 'Starships.' That's what irritates me. People always want to talk about who I was, but I've always been singing, always been experimenting with pop music. So the fact that it got huge one day, should I apologize for that? Should I apologize that 'Starships' and 'Super Bass' did well, and children like them, and Middle America can sing along? There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just broadening my fan base. I think everyone should enjoy music." If she wants to duet on a power ballad with Rihanna, that's her choice, she says. (The Guardian)
In March, the platinum-selling rapper addressed her so-called pop tag.
"I guess I am pop culture just because what I'm doing seems to be popular. When people want to do what you're doing, it's kinda popular," she reasoned. "I don't ask girls to wear pink hair; they just do it. It's not about black or white; I think it's just a statement. It doesn't matter which color you are; it's just a statement of being fearless." (MTV)
A week prior, Minaj questioned fans' perspectives and claimed she is capable of making both pop and urban records.
"I would hope that people know at this point that I'm smart enough to know what I'm doing all the time. But I guess they still kind of waiver. I always intended on putting out something urban after 'Starships,' because I knew 'Starships' was a monster," she explained. "Maybe it would be a problem if I couldn't deliver records like 'Roman Reloaded,' but I can. I write my own lyrics. Once again, I write my own lyrics. So it's never a problem. Whatever I feel, I can write, I can create it. So I'm good. I think people sometimes get blown away by the magnitude of the pop stuff, because the pop stuff, it reaches everywhere and then I feel like my hip-hop fans or hip-hop culture starts getting a little bit afraid that I'm going to leave. But this is who I am. I'm not going to change - I'm just adding on to my brand. And if you don't understand that, then it's probably why you don't travel and you don't see the world and I probably can't even have a conversation with you anymore." (Hot 97)
Pop or not, Cash Money Records boss Birdman recently dished out Minaj's greatness as a global artist.
"I say she is, but if she's not today, within time she will be. No female ever will be able to sell more records than her, have more singles than her, have more number one singles than her, have more awards--no more nothing. She had the most singles by a female last year. Her accomplishments are gonna speak for themselves. I can say that now because that's just her first album but she's only growing and getting bigger and bigger. She's a global artist. She's a student to the game. She's hard-body with her workload." (Complex)

SALEM — Selectmen are seeking more information before deciding whether to participate in a controversial regional planning project.
The board voted 4-0 Monday to have Town Manager Keith Hickey request more information about any legal obligations the town would have if it joins A Granite State Future. The town has signed a memorandum of understanding with the group.
Several Salem and Windham residents have spoken in opposition to the town's involvement at the board's last two meetings, saying participating in the planning project would result in a loss of local control. They are concerned because federal agencies, such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development, are involved.
A Granite State Future is a three-year initiative launched by the state's nine regional planning commissions with the goal of developing comprehensive plans for towns through community development. It is being opposed in several communities.
Salem community development director William Scott has said the town would receive valuable planning information it can incorporate into its master plan without having to pay consultants for the same data.

New 'joined up' health and social care service launches in Richmond and Hounslow
Updated 9:27am Monday 7th October 2013 in News
Elderly and vulnerable people can benefit from a new joint health and social care service.
From this month a single team will work to provide care for residents, particularly people who are elderly, disabled or in need of rehabilitation after a temporary illness or crisis.
The Richmond response and rehabilitation team aims to provide seamless care, support recovery and help people stay independent and out of hospital, residential or nursing care.
Until now, people received separate care from health professionals and social care professionals.
The new seven day a week service will involve nurses and therapists from Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare (HRCH), and therapists and social workers from Richmond Council.
It will also work with GPs and hospitals to get people discharged as quickly as possible.
The service will offer flexible support depending on the person's wishes, needs and independence and will accept referrals.
Jo Manley, director of operations at HRCH, said: "The new service will support people in the community to help ensure they are getting the right care, at the right place and time for them and to help avoid unnecessary extra time spent in hospital.
"People should experience a smooth, effective and personal service from a team of health and social carers that focuses on what is most important to the person."

Thomas Dunn
Even as a teen-ager Thomas Dunn was involved in church music. He began as an assistant organist in Third Lutheran Church in Baltimore at the age of 11. When he was 16 he moved to the Episcopal Cathedral of the Incarnation first as organist and then Organist and Choirmaster. There he presided over a professional choir of men and women. He studied organ and conducting at the Peabody Conservatory with Charles Courboin, E. Power Biggs, Virgin Fox, Ernest White, and Ifor Jones, while earning a Bachelor's degree at Johns Hopkins University. After graduation he matriculated at Harvard University, taking a Master's degree, with courses in choral arranging with Archibald Davison and Fugue with Walter Piston. While at Harvard he organized an orchestra and chorus to sing Bach Cantatas.
In 1957 he became Music Director at New York City's Church of the Incarnation. He organized a series of Incarnation Concerts at the church. These concerts were so successful that the church choir and the accompanying orchestra became the Festival Orchestra and Chorus, giving concert seasons in Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center. He was made Conductor of the Cantata Singers, an amateur chorus with an interst in performance practice. With this group he organized the first series of summer concerts in Avery Fisher -- which became the Mostly Mozart concerts.
Dunn became the Artistic Director of the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston in 1967, a post he held for 19 years. He continued to teach in New York until he became Editor-in-chief of E.C. Schirmer Music Publishers. Academic positions included Boston University, Stanford University, and Indiana University. In 1985 he was awarded an honorary degree Doctor of Music by Providence College.
One of Dunn's recent interests is in composing music for small and inexperienced church choirs - along the lines of "Gebrauchsmusik", which is adaptable to the exigencies and emergencies that are apt to befall Sunday mornings.
OPEN YE THE GATES (SATB, organ, optional trumpets I/II) Duration: 3:15 Easy CAN 1026 $1.50
A majestic anthem that begins with optional trumpet fanfares -- effective and easy choral lines.
Three Herbert Settings:
The great seventeenth-century English poet George Herbert has long been a favorite for church composers. In this collection Thomas Dunn has chosen three of the poet's best-loved texts and set them for SATB choir and organ.
BITTER-SWEET (SATB, organ) Duration: 3 min. Medium CAN 1013 $1.50
Bitter-sweet owes its musical atmosphere to a French style. The choral writing is quite simple and expressive. The organ part is an impassioned and bitter litany, pervading the choir's sweetness.
PRAISE (SATB, organ) Duration: 2:15 Medium CAN 1012 $1.50
The great 17th century English poet George Herbert has long been a favorite for church composers. Praise is in the typical Edwardian style with some modern harmonies giving a flavor of the Mixolydian mode. The organ accompaniment puntuates the choral writing with flashes of color, generating an exciting climax.
LET ALL THE WORLD (SA, SAB or SATB, organ) Duration: 2 min. Easy CAN 1025 $1.50
Let all the World, using the George Herbert poem, is as American as Scott Joplin - a rollicking and playful setting, infectious in rhythm. It can be sung in a variety of ways: SATB, SA alone or SA with unison men's parts.
Three Collects:
These settings are written for small choirs with organ accompaniment. They convey a certain Anglican nostalgia both in the literary as well as the musical language.
O GOD, THE KING ETERNAL (Unison or 2-part, organ) Duration: 2:30 Easy CAN 1028 $1.50
O God, the King Eternal may be sung by a unison or 2-part choir. Beginning quietly, it builds to a climax by means of a walking bass in the organ part reminiscent of Vaughan Williams' hymntune "Sine nomine". It closes with a setting of "amen" suggesting the ringing of bells.
LORD, WE PRAY THEE (SATB, organ) Duration: 3 min. Easy CAN 1027 $1.50
This setting of the Collect for the 17th Sunday after Trinity preserves the archaic word "prevent" (meaning "go before"). It calls for an optional soprano or baritone soloist, or it may be sung in unison throughout. Like O Lord, Support Us, the "Amen" section may be sung as an unaccompanied choral response.
O LORD, SUPPORT US (U/ opt. SATB, organ) Duration: 2:15 Easy CAN 1029 $1.50
Cardinal Newman's beloved prayer is set for unison voices and organ, with an optional SATB setting of "Amen," useable by itself as an a cappella choral response. Particular care has been taken with the prosody of the text.
Three Spanish Christmas Carols:
These arrangements for unaccompanied voices of authentic Spanish folksongs suggests castanets and Flamenco guitars, and the atmosphere of old Castile.
THE VIRGIN IS WASHING SWADDLING CLOTHES / La Virgen lava pañales (SATB a cappella; keyboard reduction) Duration: 1:20 [M] CAN 1014 $1.50
This Spanish Christmas carol is a Seguidilla, merrily picturing the Virgin and St. Joseph with the Child Jesus going about their homely activities. A singable English text and an International Phonetic Alphabet rendering of the Spanish text are included.
"[This] arrangement by Thomas Dunn is published in a good edition that provides a translation, pronunciation guide, and background information...Dunn presents the popular song in a good key and vocal range..." Lynne Ransom CHORAL JOURNAL (March 98)
JOSEPH DOES THE WASHING / San José lavaba (SATB div., Mezzo-soprano, Male voice solos, a cappella) Duration: 4 min. [M] CAN 1015 $1.50
This Villancico for Soria captures the exuberant spirit of Spanish dance melodies. A singable English text and an International Phonetic Alphabet rendering of the Spanish text are included.
"Thomas Dunn brings his great expertise to three Spanish carols...all with fine editorial and pronunciation guides, all a cappella, and all highly recommended....San José lavaba is a slice-of-life from the Holy Family after the excitement of Christmas Eve. These are great settings!" John L. Hooker THE JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION OF ANGLICAN MUSICIANS (Sept. 97)
O THIS NIGHT IS CHRISTMAS EVEN / Esta Noche es Noche Buena (SATB a cappella; keyboard reduction) Duration: 2:30 [M] CAN 1016 $1.50
Esta Noche is a typical Villancico, or Christmas carol, in which the refrain is political commentary. The verse paints the Spanish Christmas custom of rolling fruit and fresh chestnuts down a staircase. A lively and humorous setting from one of America's most respected and beloved conductor/teachers. Spanish and English texts are provided along with a guide to pronouncing the text.
"Esta noche is a rollicking 6/8 dance of great good fun; soem care will have to be exercised about the text, which has no kind word for mothers-in-law. You'll have to see for yourself." John L. Hooker THE JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION OF ANGLICAN MUSICIANS (September 97)

Operations Slippers took up the time of several Puyallup police officers Friday morning as they searched for a 21-year-old man who allegedly shoplifted a new pair of kicks.
The man, wearing old battered slippers, walked into Walmart about 8:30 a.m. and carefully selected a new pair of slippers. He left his in the store and took the new ones, Capt. Scott Engle said. That is the only item the man reportedly stole.
As he fled, his girlfriend stayed behind and gave officers the alleged thiefs name. Turns out he has a felony warrant for drugs so police began a search. A tracking dog found the man, clad only in blue shorts and a T-shirt, in the 700 block of 43rd Avenue SE.

Albany - It's no secret, gangs are a problem here in Albany. That's why this week, law enforcement officers have received training from an Arlington, Virginia Gang Intelligence unit with national exposure to gangs.
Officers are being taught signs to be on the look out for, and how to collect evidence to prosecute those involved in gang activity.
As a Patrolman in Albany, officer Rico Potts was well aware of the gang problem here, he just didn't realize how big of a problem it was. "We all knew they were here," he said, "but after being able to read the graffiti and being able to see what's going on, we found out we have a bigger problem than what we thought."
He says training about the different types of gangs that may be in Albany was an eye-opener. And he'll have his eyes open to the signs. "The signs are everywhere and I think the biggest thing is to learn the signs," said Potts, "read the signs, know what the signs are so that we can try to head the problem off before it gets bigger than what it already is."
Unfortunately gang activity has increased recently. Chief James Younger said, "Gang activity has been much higher in the past and then there was a wane and I think right now we are seeing more gang activity. I also think that more people are becoming aware of signs of gang activity."
And it's that awareness Chief Younger hopes will help to put an end to some of that activity and put some of the gang members behind bars. He said, "The benefit of that intelligence would be both in terms of making changes against those individuals in criminal activities as well as evidence to help in the prosecution of those cases."
Law enforcement officers from the Sheriff's department, school system and District Attorney's office also attended the training. APD plans to organize a gang intelligence seminar for parents soon.

DODGE CENTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- E-mails and comments on Facebook continue to flood KTTC since our report on the Mantorville teenager who took her life after months of being bullied.
Monday night, Rachel Ehmke's parents said they did not want their daughter to have died in vain.
Her story is already proving to get others talking about bullying and what we can do to stop it.
Rachel's story hit close to home for Heather Paulson of Dodge Center.
Her daughter, Jessica, was bullied at schools in Triton from 8th grade until 10th grade.
"When my daughter came to me and told me that she didn't want to live anymore because of the bullying, I was devastated. Absolutely devastated," Paulson said.
Jessica was bullied right out of her school.
Paulson encouraged Jessica to stay at her school in Triton but it became too much for her.
She hasn't been mistreated since attending Byron High School.
"As parents, we need to listen... whether your child is the one being bullied or if your child is the one doing the bullying. You need to address the issue," Paulson said.
Governor Mark Dayton formed an anti-bullying task force back in November.
It includes Vangie Castro of Rochester's Diversity Council.
"It's about young people and giving them, empowering them, to be able to stand up for themselves in school to help create a safe school environment for themselves," Castro said back in February.
Castro also says it's important to report any incidents.
If you don't report it, they can't address it.
Castro also says parents should teach kids the difference between tattling and telling.
Paulson believes the real problem is that Minnesota has an anti-bullying law but no policy.
"There's only 8 states that have the law only... that do not have the policy," Paulson said.
Minnesota's statute on bullying is 37 words long, the shortest anti-bullying law in the nation.
You can find it here: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=121a.0695.
You could do everything right and still your kid could be bullied.
But what happens if the school isn't addressing it?
Castro recommends filing a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights at: http://www.humanrights.state.mn.us/intake/index.html.
You can also file a complaint with the Minnesota Department of Education.
Various offices you can contact are found at: http://education.state.mn.us/MDE/JustParent/BullySafeSch/.
