|Happens sometimes...
Losing is never fun. Sure, everybody can't win, otherwise nobody ever would, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with for anyone involved. Nowhere (besides divorce court) are those first two sentences more true than in the world of sport. Whether as an on-field participant or an interested spectator, there is an emotional investment in any athletic competition. As an ex-athlete and current sports fan, I've gotten very familiar with the concept of losing...including the fact that not all losses are created equal.
See, as you may know, I'm a Cowboys fan. Whether you know that or not, you probably know that they lost yesterday. (Social media has made it possible to be highly informed about things which you may not care about, especially such popular topics as the Cowboys losing.) Sure, people I haven't talked to in months made it their responisbility to let me know about it anyway, but what they may not know is that they caught me on a relatively good week.
Yep, I've seen worse. Damn right I have. In any long-term relationship, like being married, having a friendship or being a sports fan, you're going to see a wide array of highs, lows, surprises, disappointments, and plenty of the just plain screwy. It's part of the whole wonderful dichotomic balance between yin and yang and all that good sh*t. As stated before, the context of a loss can have profound effect on the emotional response to it.
The entire idea that losses can be quantified on some kind of scale may seem ridiculous to the nonfan. Of course, I minored in the ridiculous, so to that end, here is exactly that, a scale to measure the emotional intensity of a defeat. It will include defining criteria, methods of coping and common recovery period, all of which combine with other factors to form the DEFCON, or defeat context.
As an added service to humanity, there will also be suggestions for concerned parties for dealing with the affected party during the recovery period as well as keywords which an outsider can pick up on and immediately determine the proper personal protocol. (There will also be recent anecdotal evidence for the insiders.) Aight, without any further introbation:
Defining Criteria:
-Simply being outmatched by the other side in that day's events in a fair, indisputable, and uncontroversial manner.
-Losing to a nonrival in a regular season game.
-Losing to break a short winning streak.
-Losing early in the season.
-Minimally impactful losses.
Ya can't win 'em all (isn't that right, '07 Patriots?), and this is the category for your regular old loss. This flavor of loss is the easiest to swallow because it's the least damaging. (Of course, all losing tastes like motor oil, bad underarms and Miller Genuine Draft, but the aftertaste fades relatively quickly.)
Methods of coping include slightly increased intoxicant consumption or possibly even just moving on with your slightly dimmed day. Concerned parties can assist by simply not rubbing it in.
Common Recovery Time: 12-24hr
Keywords: early, oh well, next time/week, better team, outplayed/coached
Anecdotal Example: 9/17/12 @ Seattle.
Defining Criteria:
-A lopsided score.
-Putting up a fight, but being beaten in the end by a clearly superior opponent.
-Losing to an equal or near-equal opponent through questionable means, such as a non-critical missed call or a poorly-excecuted play or 2.
-Losing a hard-fought game to a equal or near-equal opponent in the closing minutes.
-Underperforming against a slightly inferior opponent.
This variety of loss is a little harder to take, but still managable. Many of these come in the form of close games decided against your team, but can also be any loss at all to a clearly inferior opponent. Blowouts also often go in this category...nobody wants to see their team get run out of the building.
Methods of coping include increased intoxicant consumption and/or mild to moderate sexual healing. A short period of isolation is also helpful. Concerned parties can assist by aiding in the pursuit of these things.
Common Recovery Time: 24-48hr
Keywords: sucks, almost, blowout, last minute/play/shot, ref, drop, one more
Anecdotal Example: 10/14/07 vs. New England.
Defining Criteria:
-Losing to a rival team in a regular season game.
-Losing a season-ending game to a heavily favored opponent.
-Suddenly losing.
-Losing by a wide margin to a team thought to be inferior.
-Losing through mildly noteworthy means, such as a rare play, an extraordinary effort, or a clearly missed call.
-Losing a game and a non-critical player(s) for a short period.
-Losing a game with moderate playoff implications.
Here's where we get into hurt-piece territory. These sting for a while. Here is the territory where remote controls and other small, semi-disposable items are in danger of becoming collateral damage. Whether you just came up short against a hated rival, find your team getting 21'd by the Browns in the first quarter, or just saw the season end (in theory or fact), you'll remember this one whether you like it or not.
Methods of coping include heavily increased intoxicant consumption, extended isolation, moderate to severe sexual healing, and removing oneself from the sphere of competition for a while. That means no E!SPN or sports sites for a couple of days. It'll be hard, but no harder than what you will experience by seeking them out. Concerned parties can assist by not bringing it up for at least that long.
Common Recovery Time: 36hr-1wk
Keywords: "...", jobbed, lucky, refs, can't believe, over, what?!
Anecdotal Example: 10/19/08, @St. Louis (and a week earlier @Arizona...what a season 2008 was, right?)
Defining Criteria:
-Losing a season-ending game to an inferior opponent.
-Losing to a hated rival in a highly convincing fashion.
-Losing a non-critical player(s) for an extended period or a critical one for a short period.
-Losing a game with heavy playoff implications.
-Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory through an unexpected twist of fate.
-Referee-assisted losses through either many small errors or one huge f*ckup.
If you thought DEFCON 3 was bad, you don't want to find yourself here. While most of these involve the total death of a season, some of the worst examples of this involve loss zombification, where a team is technically still in contention but still realistically dead. Also in this category are blowouts to rivals, as you will have to hear about it until next time they play.
Methods of coping include temporary but complete isolation from the sporting world as well as all others discussed in this article combined. As these will not take effect immediately, an extended recovery program is advised. You will also do well to avoid discussion of the event, as it leads almost directly to confrontation. Concerned parties can just stay out of the way for a while...this level or above has been known to cause people not to be responsible for their immediate actions.
Common Recovery Time: 72hr-1.5wk
Keywords: next year, draft, screwed, kill ref, fire, cut, trade, new, hate
Anecdotal Example: 9/12/10 @Washington
Defining Criteria:
-A season-ending loss to a hated rival.
-A once-in-a-lifetime play ending a significant game the wrong way. (further reading: 2000 Super Bowl)
-An especially disappointing loss in a championship game.
-Losing both the game and critical player(s) for a significant period.
-A truly unique experience in frustration and despair.
These are the games that stick with people for generations. Any Red Sox fan worth their crimson stockings knows what happened in the '86 World Series. (I do and not only am I not even a serious baseball fan, I wasn't even born yet.) If there are more than 5 Utah Jazz fans, I'm betting they don't wear Jordans. I still might punch Patrick Crayton in the face if I ever see him. These are the single worst moments of being a sports fan...but then again, it's what you signed up for when you agreed to be one.
As far as coping goes, nothing but time will close that wound and there will be a scar. There are entire generations of sports fans who still cannot bear to speak of certain names, dates, and concepts because of events that took place decades ago. (Mention the Tuck Rule in any participating Oakland area bar for a free stabbing!) Try not to break anything irreplaceable. Concerned parties just have to wait it out with the fan in question...after all, if you're lucky, there will only be one or two of these in an entire lifetime.
Common Recovery Time: 1wk-?
Keywords: the 7 or so you can't say on television.
Anecdotal Example: 12/28/08 @Philadelphia.
Hopefully, you at least enjoyed this look at the types of losses more than living through them. If you're going to be a sports fan, you have to do it through winning, losing, and history made doing either. As a Cowboys fan, even the most successful season I've ever seen contained 3 losses (and eventually, a crushing 4th), so odds are I have not seen my beloved 'Boys take an L for the last time. However, at least after yesterday, I can say it's not so bad. After all, there's always next time...except when there's not.

This article has been floating around for almost two weeks now, but since I haven't read anything about it here at RBR, I thought I might bring you this completely pointless yet vastly significant food for thought. SI writer Stewart Mandel received a question from a Las Vegas resident about Bowden's and Paterno's respective places in the pantheon of college football coaching. Mandel responded in part by publishing his own top five all-time coaches list. There's obviously only one right answer for the greatest coach in history, but the other four spots could be debated 'til the cows come home.
At any rate, here's the link to Mandel's article, as well as my own top five list after the jump. And of course, feel free to ponder and post your own list. It's still the off-season, after all.1. Coach Paul 'Bear' Bryant - If you really need to read a defense of this response, go read The Last Coach.
2. Eddie Robinson - Mandel skirts this issue by including Robinson on a list of notable exclusions, and it's sure to be the most controversial pick on my list, but Coach Rob is the 'Bear' Bryant of black college football. Eddie Robinson was every bit the father figure to his players that Coach Bryant was to his, won more games, and was friends with the man as well. From the way they spoke about each other, my guess is that Bryant would've ranked him at least this high.
3. Bud Wilkinson - Bama fans like myself like to point out how much longer Paterno and Bowden have coached than Coach Bryant did when discussing their career win totals. What we all fail to mention is that, if Bud Wilkinson hadn't retired at 47, Coach Bryant may have never owned the record at all. (note: as a lifelong loather of OU football, I hate to type this at all, much less post it for others to read. I have to continually remind myself that, from what I've read, Wilkinson was a class act and nothing like the slimy and snide OU coaches of the 80s, 90s, and 00s).
4. Knute Rockne - Mandel explains why he ranks him at #2, and I've got little to add...other than a reminder of his relationship to Coach Frank Thomas, and hence, Coach Bryant.
5. Joe Paterno - He may have been 0-4 against Coach Bryant, but that's the only shot I'll take at Joe Pa. The man not only owns more victories than any D1 coach ever, but he's got at least as many gripes as Bryant did about having teams overlooked by the voters at the end of a season. He may be crotchety, but he's got class, and he's been imparting it for almost 50 years.
So, there it is. Almost 100% pure opinion, with very little fact for those of you on a fact-free diet. Enjoy.

A full length feature film, titled "Rumors of Wars" is being shot in the Jackson area. The production crew spent the day filming at several locations in the Capital City.
The year is 2040. The Christians are mostly gone, hiding out in enclaves.
The Alliance, which is the new world order, has taken over. They are saying join us or we are going to execute you.
"Rumors of Wars" is being shot by BearFruit Films out of Phoenix, Arizona. James Simmons is the Executive Producer.
The action Wednesday was at the state fairgrounds where the old armory building was being used as a backdrop.
One of the local actors in the movie is Brian Hilburn of Clinton, who is originally from Cleveland.
"It's wonderful to be able to shoot here in Jackson," said Hilburn. "Part of the movie was shot in Michigan. Over half of it was shot here in Mississippi because of the tax incentives. We have got about 65 people working in the crew. That does not include our extras and cast. Close to about a hundred people, both extras and actors."
We are told they are spending about a million dollars shooting the film here. It should be at a theatre near you soon.

a1 Law, Boston University
Faced with the choice between creating a risk of harm and taking a precaution against that risk, should I take the precaution? Does the proper analysis of this trade-off require a maximizing, utilitarian approach? If not, how does one properly analyze the trade-off?
These questions are important, for we often are uncertain about the effects of our actions. Accordingly, we often must consider whether our actions create an unreasonable risk of injury — that is, whether our actions are negligent.
* I thank participants at the Boston University School of Law faculty workshop, as well as the other contributors to this volume, and its editors, for their helpful questions and comments. David Schur provided valuable research and editing assistance. I am especially indebted to Hugh Baxter, David Lyons, and Larry Solum for their advice.

Top 5 Dead Or Alive: "It's Very Hard For Females To Make It In Music, Even Harder In Rap"
Friday, Jan 11, 2013 12:05AM
[Each week, SOHH asks two entertainment personalities to name their Top 5 rappers of all-time. To make things tricky, we've created a "Hall of Fame" of emcees (see right) who are universally respected and therefore may not be mentioned. After Avery Storm revealed his fave five, R&B singer Bobby V dishes out his top picks.]
Drake. [He] the shit. I'm kinda mad at Drake 'cause he takin my job. He's singin' and rappin', so he makin' it tough for me. He do it all. I rock with Drake a lot. A lot of his records, I'm definitely like, "Yea," when it come to Drake. He makes good music.
Andre 3000. I like people that's on that whole vibe. [He] loves music. Like [he] could be an R&B artist almost because he's musical, you know. I ain't no big rap head like that, but I do really respect the rappers that get into real music.
Rick Ross. Ross, he makes really good albums, you know what I'm saying. His singles and stuff, they're kinda like more club records or radio records but his albums--he makes really good albums. That's one thing I can say I can [attribute] to Rick Ross is I can tell his albums are really put together. They're not just thrown together. They always have thought.
Nicki Minaj. I would say her because for her to be the only female in a male-dominated...when it comes to hip-hop...it's very hard for females to make it in music, but it's even harder for them to make it in rap. I applaud her and I really look up to her because she's a female doin' her thing in a male-dominated game. When females started rappin'...people don't really take females seriously, but she made a statement to be like, Ya'll gonna take me serious, you know. Like I can spit bars with the rest of 'em.
Jadakiss. He's a pure MC. If somebody asked me the definition of an MC, it's Jadakiss. Like, he's a real rapper.

More people die from lung cancer than any other type of cancer. But an ECU grad beat the odds and lived to tell about it.
Now, her inspiring story is hitting the national newsstands. Taylor Duck was already featured in the "New York Times" and this month she has a full-page spread in Cosmopolitan magazine.
Life is pretty good for the 26-year-old. She's cancer-free, newly married and has a full-page spread in a national magazine.
"It's given me an opportunity to speak and to change lives and to break the stigma and to almost be the face of what lung cancer is," said Duck.
But it's been a long journey to get here. During her freshman year of college at ECU, Taylor noticed her toes and feet were often numb. Doctors couldn't figure it out why. A year later, she went to the emergency room for what she thought was a ruptured appendix. That's when doctors found a mass in her lung.
"Of course nobody wanted to say lung cancer because they didn't think it was possible in a 21-year-old, never smoking, division 1 college athlete," said Duck.
Surgery saved Duck's life. But many others with lung cancer don't meet the same fate. Of all the major cancers, lung cancer is the number one killer but also the least funded. Only 15.5% of patients survive. That's why Taylor is making it her mission to get rid of the stigma and share the facts.
"70 percent of the newly diagnosed are either never smokers or former smokers and quit decades ago," said Duck.
If her story helps just one person, Duck says it's worth it.
"We lose 160,000 people a year to this disease. That's equivalent to a jumbo jet falling out of the sky every single day, all year long. That to me is unacceptable and for a 15.5 percent stagnant survival rate for the last 40 years we all have to do our part to speak up and make a difference and raise awareness for this disease"

Case Studies
SchwabLearning.org: A Case Study
One nonprofit + two web agencies + nine months = SchwabLearning.org. Yes, that was the formula to launch our Web site, and I am one of the sole survivors to tell you about it. In 1999, after eleven years of serving San Francisco Bay Area parents and educators through direct services and outreach, we realized that we could effect greater change if we expanded our web presence. This is the story of our redesign process.
The Story Behind Usability.gov
The seeds for Usability.gov were sown in early 1999 when the popular CancerNet web site came up for a redesign. As usual, we began by seeking input for the new design from technical professionals: web designers, content writers, engineers. Our "kitchen cabinet" also included users. But the opinions from this broad group of professionals and laymen were as diverse as their backgrounds. Whose ideas were right?

Crestone is a statutory town in Saguache County in Southwestern Colorado, United States. The population was 73 at the 2000 census. It is a
small village at the foot of the western slope of the Sangre de Cristo Range, in the northern part of the San Luis Valley. Crestone was a small
mining town, but little paying ore was discovered. In the 1970s, a large land development, the Baca Grande, was established to the south and
west and several hundred homes have been built.
The Crestone area, which includes the Baca Grande and Moffat, Colorado, is a spiritual and new age center with several world religions
represented, including: a Hindu temple, a Zen center, a co-ed Carmelite monastery, several Tibetan centers, and miscellaneous New Age
Crestone is easily accessible to visitors, a National Forest Service campground is about 3/4 of a mile north of town, and other lodging is available,
including several bed and breakfasts. Activities in the area include camping, fishing, hiking, climbing, as well as spiritual explorations.
Crestone is named for the 14,000-foot peaks that lie just east of the town: Crestone Peak and Crestone Needle. The Crestones, as they are
known collectively, in turn, took their name from the Spanish word crestón, which, according to Walter Borneman and Lyndon Lampert's book A
Climbing Guide to Colorado's Fourteener's, means: "the top of a cock's comb"; "the crest of a helmet"; or, in miners' jargon, "an outcropping of

Schools invited to flip for glory in Pancake Day competition at Westfield Stratford City
12:26pm Friday 17th February 2012 in Out & About
Flipping schoolchildren and teachers are being invited to take part in a potentially messy pancake tossing contest.
Westfield Stratford City is hosting the competition on Shrove Tuesday, February 21, courtesy of pancake connoisseurs Crêpeaffaire.
Between 2 and 5pm students and teachers from local schools are welcome to get involved in a series of pancake flipping competitions, posing the best young flippers against each other.
Winners will receive free pancakes for a year, second place runners-up will win free pancakes for six months and third place runners-up will receive free pancakes for three months.
Additionally, one-on-one pancake duels will take place and the winner will receive a complimentary Crêpeaffaire signature dish, the Mellow Yellow and all entrants will receive a juicy 15% off their choice of crêpe.
Crêpeaffaire's very own mascot - 'Crêpe Man' - will be making a special appearance on The Street to judge the pancake flippers of the future.
Crayons and a colouring-in menu will also be on offer to keep all mini pancake athletes entertained.

As traditional colleges and universities face competition from for-profit schools, Stamats has taken a step to help them raise their profile.
The Cedar Rapids higher education marketing and research firm on Wednesday announced the acquisition of The Thorburn Group, a Minneapolis brand agency serving clients such as Disney, Harley-Davidson, Target and Porsche.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Guy Wendler, president and CEO of Stamats, said the merger will allow Stamats to offer a broader range of services to colleges and universities as they seek opportunities amid dramatic change that has disrupted the traditional educational business model.
"Traditional colleges and universities are facing a perfect storm of challenges,� Wendler said. �They have been hit simultaneously by unfavorable demographic trends, higher scrutiny of the cost of higher education and increasing competition from alternative education delivery systems.�
Wendler said the trends are only expected to intensify.
"We�re elevating our focus on branding to help schools use this unprecedented period of change to strengthen themselves, focus on value and better connect with their students and communities," Wendler said.
Bill Thorburn, president and founder of The Thorburn Group, said the merger creates a powerful combination.
"Stamats brings a wealth of knowledge in higher education," Thorburn said. "Our firm brings leading-edge brand creative and extensive consumer brand marketing."
The Thorburn Group�s brand clients also include National Geographic, Polaroid, American Standard and Haggar. The agency, founded in 1994, will retain its name and Minneapolis office, operating as a business unit within Stamats.
The Thorburn Group will continue to serve consumer brands in addition to colleges and universities through Stamats.
Stamats was founded in 1923 as a promotion and advertising agency for Midwest retail stores. The company has worked in higher education research and marketing for six decades.
Stamats has annual revenues of $25 million and 140 employees with its headquarters in Cedar Rapids and an office in San Francisco.Current and recent clients include the University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, Florida International University, Grinnell College, Wagner College and College of Mount St. Vincent.

Forecast: Normal rules don't apply to Saints offense
The only thing that would have made the night better is if the LSU band would have started playing 'Hey Fightin Tiger' when the clock hit zero to get everyone ready for Monday. In an NFL where the rules make everything about offense the Saints have managed to take theirs to another level. Normal football strategy doesn't apply to them.

Oliver Luck, the father of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, was recently named to the college football playoff committee but he could soon be getting an even better gig. According to reports, Luck is expected to be the next athletic director at the University of Texas and an announcement could be coming in mid-November.
From OrangeBloods.com:
If West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck impresses a seven-member advisory committee, Luck is expected to be UT's next athletic director, multiple sources tell Orangebloods.com.
Those sources say Luck is the frontrunner from a group of names put forth by the search firm Korn/Ferry International to the advisory committee last week that also includes Arizona State athletic director Steve Patterson, who got his law degree at Texas.
Luck's interview with the committee could come as early as this week. If all goes as expected, a contract could be finalized Nov. 13 or 14, when Texas regents are already scheduled to meet.
Nothing is expected to be announced before Texas and West Virginia meet in Morgantown on Nov. 9. But the Mountaineers have a bye week after their game at Kansas on Nov. 16, so an official announcement could come then.
If the announcement does happen, Texas president Bill Powers would make the announcement.
Powers and Luck previously had a relationship, with Powers being the former dean of the UT Law school where Luck earned his degree.
Luck has previously declined to comment on whether or not the Longhorns gig was in his future, but in a matter of weeks he may no longer be able to avoid the questions.

East Aurora's Tyshee Towner, left, and South Elgin's Amanda Behles battle for possession at East Aurora High School in Aurora, Ill., on Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012. | Corey R. Minkanic~For Sun-Times Media
Basketball teams that run up against East Aurora's girls this season invariably come away surprised, if not beaten. The perennial doormat Tomcats have risen on the shoulders of three seniors:Tyshee Towner, Brandi McAllister and 6-foot-1 center Desiree Rhodes.
West Aurora found this out Tuesday, and Thursday night South Elgin discovered it in a 56-46 victory by East in an Upstate Eight Valley game.
"I think it's because as a team we've matured," said Towner, who scored 25 points against South Elgin just one game after she had an injury scare during the celebration following the victory over rival West. "We mature more and more every game. My teammates help me and I learn from them and they learn from me."
East is now 6-6 on the year and 3-3 in the conference.
"People come in and are surprised, like 'Did we just lose to East Aurora?' Yes," said Towner. "Because we're maturing and you're not. You left on the concept that we're East Aurora and you're going to come back and beat us again but we're maturing and you're staying immature."
The Tomcats dominated from the start behind Rhodes' long arm. She blocked six shots and influenced numerous others. She also had nine points and nine boards.
"Desiree stepped up," East coach Bill Anderson said. "She alters shots, she made a great block on the perimeter. She's been going through the progression. A lot is expected of her and she knows it."
McAllister scored 19 points and she and Towner had eight rebounds apiece as they crashed the boards to help out Rhodes.
East Aurora came out fast, outscoring South Elgin 20-5 in the first quarter as McAllister had 11 of her points.
The Tomcats hit 18-of-44 from the field for the game (41 percent) while holding South Elgin (7-5, 2-2) to 28 percent (17-of-61). A 1-for-14 start from the field in the first quarter left South Elgin in a hole from which it never escaped.
"We're not a very good team," South Elgin coach Tim Prendergast said. "We're 7-5 but all of our wins are against teams with a win or two. It's a total mirage.
"So I'm not surprised we got beat by these guys."
East never let up, although South Elgin did get within six in the third quarter before a 12-2 run padded the lead. Towner had 10 points during that stretch. In the fourth quarter, South Elgin's Anna Tracy made two of her three three-pointers on the night and the Storm got back within seven, but no closer as East put it away by making 7-of-10 fourth quarter free throws.
"We're not very big," said Prendergast, whose team is waiting for the Jan. 10 return of star guard Savanah Uveges from knee rehab. "If we play a team that's got a big like East Aurora or Bartlett, we struggle."
For East, it's full speed ahead into the Oswego East tournament, and the Tomcats will have Towner entirely healthy after the scare in the celebration following the 42-41 win over West Aurora.
"She just got shaken up in the pandemonium on the floor," Anderson said. "She learned a valuable lesson: to run off the floor after the game like Larry Bird."

Don't get me wrong, Marshall is going to be a good player. Just not for our team. We don't have enough spot up shooters to balance out his lack of scoring ability. I'd rather get Lillard and hope that he can develop the type of create-your-own-shot type of late game situations that we need.
As for Drummond and the Blazers gap in the front court... I think size is something we can address through free agency. I'd rather take a scoring prospect than a big man who could take years to develop an offensive game. Someone like Beal, Barnes, Lamb or maybe even Rivers would help us more right off the bat in terms of getting buckets. Think about when we had Camby, who is by most people's opinions a solid yet over-the-hill defensive big, and even if we got big time stops, we couldn't score in the clutch.
#6 pick: take Beal, Barnes or Lamb
#11 pick: take Lillard, Rivers or Waiters
Dark horse pick at 11: take Perry Jones III and play him at the 3. His defense and shot blocking ability are suspect but if you give him room to develop into the longest scoring wing of all time it could be awesome.

Lawton, OKLa._Almost two-hundred high school students from across the county, got their very own "sneak peak" at the latest prom fashions for prom Sunday afternoon. The crowd gathered in Lawton High School's auditorium, to take a look at dresses and tuxedos in a variety of price ranges. Five lucky girls even won their very own prom dress, one of which designed by famous Project Runway winner Johnathan "Kayne". The proceeds from Sunday's fashion show will help fund Lawton High's 2013 prom, making it an event to remember.
Kayne said for most young girls showing up to prom in a dress like this is only a dream.
"It's a dress with led light-wire technology and it's beaded into the dress. So, you can actually change the lights on the dress to change from flashing fast, flashing slow, stay on solid. Or the lights don't even have to be on", he said.
Middle school student Nica Simmons said that dream became a reality after winning Sunday's raffle and beating out hundreds of now disappointed girls. She said the dress definitely stood out.
"It is so pretty it has lights and stuff", said Simmons.
The dress retails for 450 dollars. Kayne, who has launched a successful clothing and shoe line, said donating one of his top-selling dresses is his way of giving back.
"Anything that you do in your career, you can always help other people. Who knows, the young lady that won the dress, she might not be able to afford it. Or , she may want a dress that's outside her normal price range. We chose the light-up dress because there's nothing else like it", said Kayne.
Although the specially designed gown only went to one girl, other lucky girls were able to snag other dresses that were up for grabs.
"I didn't think it was mine at first. I had to like look at it for a second and then I was looking around to make sure no one had my number. I am so excited. I haven't gotten the fact that I won it yet", said Cache High School senior Jazzmyn Franks.
She and Simmons both agreed that winning a free prom dress is something most girls take lightly.
"It's real expensive and I am so glad that I won it", said Simmons.
"It gives you a chance to look at them more. Especially, like at amore formals you can rent dresses too. It helps out a lot more. You don't get stuck with one dress. Prom dresses you're only going to wear once and spending so much money", said Franks.
The show was organized by school teacher-turned-formal dress shop owner Cindy Ezell. She said she started this fundraiser because she saw first hand just how many girls couldn't afford prom dresses. She said it's the seventh year that her shop has been putting the fashion-show fundraiser on, and the first year that they've had a celebrity designer. The fashion show raised about a thousand dollars towards Lawton High School's senior prom.

Four years ago, Andre Alejandro and his friends severely beat a rival at an Uptown pizzeria, sending the victim to the hospital for nearly 50 stitches.
When the purported Gangster Disciple fired shots inside the same establishment early Tuesday morning, a 13-year-old boy ended up dead, Cook County prosecutors said.
Alejandro, 22, was ordered held without bail Wednesday for Ivan Alanis' murder. Ivan was eating pizza when he was shot in the mouth as he ate at Laurie's, in the 5100 block of North Broadway, his sister Blanca said Wednesday, adding that her slain brother was not in a gang.
Another sister, who was with a male acquaintance, was at his side when he was gunned down.
Alejandro thought the trio were rival gang members, and after exchanging words and flashing gang signs with one of them through the door, he fired three times at 2:15 a.m. Tuesday, striking Ivan, assistant state's attorney Angela Carlisle said.
Alejandro, who was with a friend, was caught on the pizzeria's surveillance camera shooting the gun from the doorway and admitted to police he threw the weapon in a gangway, Carlisle said. He was arrested at a traffic stop a few hours after the murder, according to a police report.
Alejandro, of the 1400 block of West Chase, has two prior felony convictions, including an aggravated battery for the 2008 gang-related assault at Laurie's.
The father of a 2-year-old also has a felony drug conviction and misdemeanor convictions for possession of cannabis and reckless conduct.
Alejandro is currently a student at Truman College where he is studying to be an automotive technician, assistant public defender Brendan Max said.
Alejandro's relatives refused comment following the bond hearing before Judge Edward Harmening.
Ivan's family was not in court but the boy's sister-in-law told the Sun-Times Tuesday that he was an 8th grader at Armstrong Elementary School and had eight siblings.
"He was a nice boy, he was just a really nice boy," Jennifer Montes said. "He was into soccer. He was so young to die. He was the baby" of the family.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

The blog cited a National Association of Realtors' existing-home sales report showing that sales of homes over a million dollars were up 6.1%.Luxury housing is not the only segment on the rise. MediaPost Communications, a publishing and content company, reported in October that because of U.S. shoppers and the surge of demand in China, "the global luxury market is now projected to jump 10% in 2010, almost reaching the peak levels achieved in 2007."It wasn't supposed to be this way. The slumping economy was supposed to turn home buyers into budget-minded savers—thrift was in, profligacy was out. In some ways, Americans certainly have pulled back on spending, but in other ways, we remain an aspirational country, where people desire nice things.Product manufacturers obviously share this belief. In the past year, the market has seen some fantastic luxury products that speak to the notion that there is a demand—however small—for these items.The attached slide show features 10 mid-priced-to-luxury items that represent just a fraction of the wonderful products hitting the market.

I love the A's, been a fan since 1987. I moved to SoCal in 2003 but have bought the MLB Extra Innings package every year to watch my beloved team. I have enjoyed this run more than any other season, other than maybe 2002. All I've been able to think about for the last week and a half is this team's success
That said, this next series will be very hard for me
You see, my first cousin (Doug Fister) is a starter for Detroit. I am very proud of him, and I rooted like crazy for the Tigers in the playoffs last year
So I am faced with a no win situation. Either I root for a family member, or I root against a team that is, in some ways, a part of my identity.
Some have told me "just root for the Tigers when your cousin is pitching" Yeah, but this is a short series! It's not as hard for me to root against the A's when he is pitching against them in May. But now, there's a lot more on the line
I gotta be honest--- this is taking some of the fun out of the playoffs for me, something I usually think is one of the best times of year

Kingfisher promoter Mr Vijay Mallya on Friday said many have expressed interest in investing in his debt-ridden airline.
Much would, however, depend on the government's stand on allowing foreign carriers to pick up stake in domestic airlines, he told reporters after meeting Revenue Secretary Mr R S Gujral here.
India's foreign direct investment (FDI) policy allows foreign investors to pick up 49 per cent stake in domestic airlines, but foreign airlines are not permitted.
Earlier this week in Bangalore, Civil Aviation Minister Mr Ajit Singh had said the government was looking at the proposal of allowing foreign airlines to invest in domestic carriers.
Kingfisher Airlines has run into a debt of Rs 7,500 crore and has defaulted on tax payments. The Revenue Department is even contemplating legal action against the carrier.
"I have been talking to people... Many people are interested. (They have) shown interest in investing in KFA but it all depends on government policies. We are waiting and watching," Mr Mallya said.
He, however, said that he did not come to the Finance Ministry to discuss taxation issues.
"I have not come here to discuss tax matters with Revenue Secretary today. Tax matters are currently subjudice, being dealt legally," he said.
The banks, which had been talking tough on Kingfisher, want the airline promoters to bring in fresh equity as a pre-condition for restructuring loans.

Calvin Johnson still has one more season left on his rookie contract, but he expects to begin talks soon regarding a new deal with the Detroit Lions. He told Jim Rome on Monday that the two sides can "hopefully get things rolling" this offseason. Considering his pivotal role in the Lions' run to the playoffs this past season, Johnson should expect to receive a significant pay raise.
Johnson is currently the third highest paid player in the organization, behind only quarterback Matthew Stafford and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. After catching 96 passes for 1,681 yards and 16 touchdowns last year, Johnson staked a claim as one of the top wideout talents in the league and will likely look to be paid as such.
Larry Fitzgerald's 8-year, $120 million contract signed with the Arizona Cardinals last summer makes him NFL's highest paid receiver for the moment. Johnson is projected to make $14 million during the 2012-13 season.
For more on Johnson and the Lions, head over to the SB Nation blog Pride Of Detroit.

Assembly Bill (AB) 1130 of 2007 required Unified Program Agencies (UPA) to implement the California Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA). AB 1130 also required inspector training and testing as part of this implementation. Cal/EPA developed an initial training and testing program with assistance from the California Specialized Training Institute and their contractor, ESCI, an Orange County consulting firm. The San Diego County CUPA worked with ESCI and Cal/EPA to develop online training for UPA Staff and inspectors. This training is limited to UPA Staff and inspectors and you must pre-register.
If you are an employee of a UPA interested in taking the training for testing and certification contact Kelly Robertson at firstname.lastname@example.com to register. You must cc: your Supervisor and include your agency name, phone number and mailing address on the registration e-mail.
Upon successful completion of the course and passing of the exam, certification will be issued by Cal/EPA. A presentation on facility compliance and how to complete the Tier I template is available for regulated facilities at http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/deh/hazmat/hmd_tier_1_template_course.html.
*IMPORTANT* If you are a Unified Program inspector requiring training and testing, first register through the e-mail address above.
When you register you will receive an e-mail with links to the course curriculum and handouts. Additional handouts, including helpful reference materials for this course, are available on the Cal CUPA Forum APSA Webpage which can be found at www.calcupa.net

We all know that football goes through a lot of ups and downs, per each team, division, and conference. One team or division might be good one year and suck the next, and that's what we love about football, the parity. That's what makes football the greatest sport and why baseball should take a few notes(see salary cap). But with all of this parity, how has the AFC west done as of late, let's take a look...
Whether you have looked this up or not, the AFC west has gone the longest of any other division to have a team go to the Super Bowl:
NFC East- NYG- 2007
NFC South- N.O. Saints- 2009
NFC West- ARI- 2008
NFC North- GB- 2010
(Yes a different division each of the last 4 years, can u say "parity"?)
AFC East- N.E.- 2007
AFC North- PIT- 2010
AFC South- IND- 2009
AFC West- OAKLAND- 2002!
Yes it has been since the 2002 season since the AFC west has sent a team to the Super Bowl, 5 years longer than any other division, and it was the freaking Raiders, with our re-tred QB at the helm. And they lost so it's been even longer than that since we've won a SB. Let's look at that by division.
NFC East- NYG- 2007
NFC South- N.O. Saints- 2009
NFC West- STL- 1999
NFC North- GB- 2010
AFC East- N.E.- 2004
AFC North- PIT- 2008
AFC South- IND- 2006
AFC West- DENVER- 1998!
This one isn't as glaring as the last, since it's been since 99' for the NFC West, who has generally been considered a much weaker division than ours, and if not for the 9-7 Cardinals getting hot and squeezing into the playoffs against the Steelers in 08 then it would look a lot worse for them. But maybe that doesn't tell all of the story, maybe we've won playoff games and just not made it to the Super Bowl right? Let's look at those numbers by conference for the last 12 years or the season right after Denver won it all.
-----------Playoff Appearance-------- Playoff Win------ Super Bowl App------ Super Bowl Win
NFC-East ------ 23------------------------- 18------------------ 3------------------------------ 1
NFC-South -----17------------------------- 14------------------ 3------------------------------ 2
NFC-North ------17-------------------------13------------------ 2------------------------------ 1
NFC-West------ 15------------------------- 15------------------ 4 -------------------------------1
AFC-East -------19------------------------- 19----------------- 4 -------------------------------3
AFC-South------ 20------------------------ 15------------------ 3------------------------------- 1
AFC-North ------17------------------------- 18------------------ 4 -------------------------------3
AFC-West------ 16-------------------------- 8------------------ 1------------------------------- 0
I think this graph is pretty telling for how miserable the AFC west has been the last decade. We've managed 8 playoff wins in 12 years and most of those came the year Oakland went to the Super Bowl. The other thing I found interesting is how bad the NFC North has been as well. Going into to last years playoffs they had 9 playoff wins, 1 appearance(Chicago) and no wins in the SB. Obviously last years performance by GB and CHI in the playoffs inflated their stats substantially, and until last year they were in the race right with us for the cellar dwellers. Alas, things change and maybe our record will look better after a couple good playoff performances over a couple years, but right now it's pretty clear that our division has been dismal the last decade, and I'm not sure who to blame. I'm not sure if blame is even due, if it's just the way football goes and sometimes teams go thru dry spells. Regardless I found these numbers interesting, hope you do too.

Roland JX-8P
The JX-8P is a decent analog polysynth. It has 6 voices of polyphony, great MIDI implementation and patch storage as well as an external memory cartridge slot. Though it is far more advanced than its predecessor, the JX-3P, the JX-8P has its drawbacks. Hands-on programming is sacrificed and reduced to assigning the parameter you want to tweak to a data-slider near the pitch/mod bender. Enter the PG-800 controller which gives you total control of all the JX-8P's editable parameters with hands-on traditional slider control. Membrane buttons dominate the front panel of the JX-8P providing access to the various preset and user patches and to page through and assign editable parameters.
Professional features can still be found under the hood of the JX-8P. Its 61 note keyboard is velocity and aftertouch sensitive. Just like the Juno synthesizers it uses DCO's for a very stable system, however its sounds are a little thin and bright. It also features portamento, unsion and solo (monosynth) performance modes. It is used by Biosphere, 808 State, Tangerine Dream, The Shamen, Depeche Mode, Überzone, the Cure, Go West, Ozric Tentacles, Future Sound of London, Jean-Michel Jarre, Europe, and Jimmy Jam.

I altered all my Roland and Korg gear with this stupid two-prong socket and built in the standard three prong one. Normally this is possible without widening the installation hole. Plus it is possible to put in a proper ground to the case. But as usual: BE CAREFUL WITH HANDLING POWERCONNECTIONS! DEADLY SHOCK POSSIBLE! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CONNECTION WHILE OPENING THE SYNTH!
I don't take any responsability if someone takes this idea and gets hurt..
Well, you should know how to handle a soldering iron and heatshrink tubes..
So no need to keep (and loose ;-) those two prong cables..
Get a reverb and it's a dream for Ambiant pad.
Analog vintage sound, with MIDI implementation, and it's (anormally) cheap now !

After dedicating an entire episode of Impact Wrestling to a series of matches involving eight members of the roster trying to impress General Manager Hulk Hogan enough to be granted a title shot, "The Hulkster" ended up giving the shot to someone who was injured and not involved in any of those matches.
None other than his storyline son-in-law, Bully Ray.
Indeed, Hogan made it official on the episode of Impact that aired tonight (Feb. 21) from the United Kingdom, booking Bully vs. Jeff Hardy for the heavyweight championship in a steel cage match as the main event of the Lockdown pay-per-view (PPV) on Sun., March 10, 2013, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
What's interesting is this comes not long after Hogan made comments publicly that he doesn't think Hardy should be the champion of the promotion and if it was up to him, Bobby Roode would hold the title. I'm not sure why that would be but it's going to add another layer to the upcoming match between Hardy and Ray.
To think, Bully Ray might be a world heavyweight champion in under a month.
Other matches announced for Lockdown include Team Aces and 8s taking on Team TNA, though members for each squad have yet to be made official, and Kurt Angle vs. Wes Briscoe.

The Beard will be missed. [Fear the Beard]
"...but let's be realistic too. We're Warriors fans. We rebuild for 15 years to succeed for two or three. And frankly, it's getting tiresome." I couldn't have said it any better than my homie DTurman. Regardless, I hope my peoples Daniel Turman, Guthrie Dolin, Matthew Meschery and Michael Marshall keep doing their thang over at FTB. Only the GSoM Crew knows this, but I spent a big chunk of last offseason trying to (unsuccessfully) recruit these good people on over to GSoM. That's how fresh I think these cats are. The Boom Dizzle era might be over, but the Fear the Beard era must live on!

http://www.nbadraft.net/node/8379 names Deonte Christmas one of the best undrafted FA's.
"Perhaps the biggest surprise here. Christmas, a 6-foot-5 lights-out shooter, was projected as an early-second round prospect. His lack of athleticism was probably the thing that knocked him off the draft board, but there is likely still a place for him on an NBA roster. He's got an unorthodox release (but then again so does Michael Redd) which may have concerned teams. He also has great length, elevates well on his jumpshot and, after three years as a starter at Temple, is as ready for the NBA as any second-rounder. The (local - Temple) Sixers recently signed him to their summer league squad."
He's also playing with the Clippers though (after he's done with the SIxers in Orlando), but maybe he'll cancel if the Sixers offer him a guarateed deal.
On a side note: Yaric (you know the guy w/t Bugs Bunny Tie: former Clipper Hope Yaroslav Korolev) is on the Knicks roster (Along with Skeeta and Sene, it's quite the Bust-fest over there). I'm still rooting for the guy. It's not his fault Dunleavy Sr. likened him to his son and drafted him over Danny 'Supposed Knee issues" Granger. I see Korolev as a poor man's Turkoglu (as in Sudan-poor, not "I can only afford 2 IPODs-poor").
