High school football: Syracuse upsets Bingham to advance to the 5A finals
Ben Brewer, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Syracuse came within inches of reaching the 5A state finals last year, but turned the tables on being inches short this year. With Bingham threatening to score and take the lead late, the Titan defense held on third-and-1 and then fourth-and-2 to preserve a 21-16 win and advance to the state finals.
A year ago, Syracuse receiver Diante Mitchell came within inches of keeping his team alive in the state semifinals against Fremont. On a last-second fourth-and-goal play he stretched the ball toward the goal line to come up just short.
This time it was Bingham that was held just short as Syracuse stuffed two rushing attempts up the middle with just under a minute to play. The Titans took over on downs, ran the clock out, and the celebration began.
"This is the best feeling in the world. They always say to take advantage of your second chances, and we took advantage of them today," said Mitchell. "We believed that we could win even when the whole state doubted us. the state didn't believe that we could do it, but the kids and the Syracuse community did."
Indeed, not many believed Syracuse stood a chance without its starting quarterback and two other starters entering Thursday's game. The backups stepped up big — most notably sophomore quarterback Kole Tracy.
Syracuse rotated two quarterbacks to start the game, but it was Tracy who emerged at the position shortly after the first quarter. Down a touchdown, Tracy connected on a three-yard touchdown to Kiwa Mo'o with 4:05 left in the first half to tie it at 7-7.
Shortly after halftime, Tracy threw his second pass of the afternoon — lofting a long 57-yard bomb to Mitchell for the score. Tracy then capped off his team's next possession with a 2-yard touchdown run to give the Titans a commanding 21-7 lead as the third quarter came to a close.
Tracy finished the game with 10-19 passing for 129 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran the ball 15 times for 33 yards.
"I don't know how you do it being that young and inexperienced," said Syracuse coach Russ Jones about his sophomore quarterback. "He didn't take any snaps until this week, and he was outstanding today."
Bingham came roaring back following Tracy's touchdown run, with Hayden Weichers receiving a 63-yard touchdown pass from Jantzen Bowles to cut the lead to 21-14 with 11:51 remaining.
The Miners looked to snatch all the momentum away following a safety at the 6:51 mark, which cut the lead to 21-16. Joe Kaufusi and Lowell Lotulelei combined to force a Tracy fumble in his own end zone that was recovered by Syracuse.
Despite the consecutive scores, Syracuse players kept their heads up and remained focused.
"When our kids come off they're very collected and they keep their poise," said Jones. "We tell them what we need to do in situations like that, but they always have the right mentality and know what needs to get done."
The Titan defense responded in a big way following Bingham's two second-half scores — much like it did all game long. After the teams traded three-and-out possessions, the Miners found themselves with good field position on their 39-yard line with 3:20 left to play. Six plays later found Bingham at the Syracuse 14-yard line in a third-and-one situation with just over a minute remaining.
It was then that the Titan defensive line stuffed two straight rush attempts up the middle to all but end the game.
"It came down to inches again, but this time it was in our advantage," said Mitchell. "We're happy to be in the state championship right now — not too many people have the opportunity to do that."
The relatively undersized Titan defense played big all game long — forcing Bingham into five turnovers and holding it to just 115 yards rushing.
"These kids just stay in their lanes — it's nothing fancy, they know where they're going, they know their gaps and they know their assignments inside and out," said Jones about his defensive front. "Dayne Faerber does an awesome job with that defense — he gets them cranked up and gets them going."
With the victory, Syracuse advances to the state finals where it will likely be considered the underdog yet again. It's a role the players are used to and something they know they can overcome.
"I've never seen such a group of kids be as resilient as these kids are," said Jones. "We got some good breaks, but our kids don't know how to quit. They've bought into everything we've said and just stepped up to make plays, didn't keep their heads down and got it done. They simply know how to get it done."

Hey all, Dust La Rock's the name, and of course, drawing shit is my game. Not sure why it took me so long to get my post on, maybe because Nick is a loveable yet intimidating blog Nazi. I probably won't be hitting you w/ the latest Fool's Gold release/rmx/re-something news, more like random acts of art as they relate to our wonderful record label, various mind-numbing exploits, and the occasional comic relief. So, to set it off right in the new year let me toot my own horn. Format Mag is an online lifestyle mag dealing w/ art, music, etc. Earlier this year Format did a feature on me and recently asked for my Top 10 album picks of 2007. Ch-ch-check 'em out!

Austin Jared Jackson (born February 1, 1987 in Denton, Texas) is a Major League Baseball outfielder for the Detroit Tigers.
Early years
In 1999, Baseball America named Jackson the best 12-year-old baseball player in the nation, and the best 15-year-old baseball player three years later. Jackson attended Billy Ryan High School in Denton, Texas.
Professional career
Minor leagues
Though Jackson committed to play for Georgia Tech, the New York Yankees drafted Jackson in the eighth round (259th overall) in the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft. To convince him to sign instead of attending Georgia Tech, the Yankees offered Jackson $800,000, a record signing bonus for an eighth round pick.
From 2005 to 2009 Jackson rose up the Yankees organization and after a slow start, he became a top prospect for the Yankees. For the 2009 season he was the Yankees top prospect according to Baseball America.
After the 2009 season, Jackson was added to the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft.
Detroit Tigers
On December 9, 2009 Jackson was traded to the Detroit Tigers as part of a three-team trade that brought Curtis Granderson to the Yankees.
Jackson entered the 2010 season as the Tigers third-best prospect, according to Baseball America.
He made his major league debut on April 5, 2010 against the Kansas City Royals, going one for five. He hit his first major league home run on April 25, 2010, off of Colby Lewis of the Texas Rangers. Through the first month of the season Jackson led the majors in hits with 36, and was named the AL Rookie of the Month.
On June 2, 2010, against the Cleveland Indians, Jackson made an outstanding catch in the ninth inning of Armando Galarraga's near-perfect game. The perfect game was later ended with two outs in the ninth after a blown call by umpire Jim Joyce.
He was named an outfielder on Baseball America's 2010 All-Rookie Team. He was also named an outfielder on the 2010 Topps Major League Rookie All-Star Team.
On November 15, 2010, Jackson came in second in the 2010 American League Rookie of the Year voting, behind Ranger closer Neftali Feliz

Book Description:
The transformation of Desiderio's city into a mysterious kingdom is instantaneous: Hallucination flows with magical speed in every brain; avenues and plazas are suddenly as fertile as fairy-book forests. And the evil comes, too, as imaginary massacres fill the streets with blood, the dead return to question the living, and profound anxiety drives hundreds to suicide. Behind it all stands Doctor Hoffman, whose gigantic generators crack the immutable surfaces of time and space and plunge civilization into a world without the chains – or structures – of reason. Only Desiderio, immune to mirages and fantasy, can defeat him. But Desiderio's battle will take him to the very brink of undeniable, irresistible desire.

We know, we know
New Israel Fund logo 311.

The recent Pew Research Center study of American Jewry has received a lot of
attention here in the US, not least because of what it said about the
respondents' attitudes towards Israel. Anti-settlement and dubious about the
Israeli government's desire for peace, many Jews in that survey have come a long
way from knee-jerk support for the policies of the current governing
coalition.My friends at the New Israel Fund, an organization I proudly
support, have done some research of their own, which tells us that NIF donors
and liberal American Jews in general are much more concerned about Israel than
they were when NIF last surveyed them in 2006. We are concerned about the
influence of the ultranationalist, settler Right and the ultra- Orthodox. We are
concerned about anti-democratic initiatives in the Knesset. And we are insistent
that if we voted in Israel, we would support the same liberal values we continue
to support in American elections.This is why those of us who are
long-time donors to the New Israel Fund are bemused by its critics, who often
argue that NIF donors wouldn't support it if they knew how edgy some of its
grantees are.Well, guess what? NIF is pro-active and specific in
communicating the range of activists and organizations it supports, including
those that are on the cutting-edge of social change and those that deal with
Israel's most difficult and controversial issues.NIF explains why it
supports Arab-Israeli civil society groups despite the fact that they do not
embrace the Zionist narrative – and most people understand why that is, and why
it is critical that 20 percent of the population of Israel feels it has a stake
in the country's future. And we certainly understand that NIF couldn't possibly
agree with all the policies and opinions of the hundreds of organizations it
supports, organizations that work on dozens of critical issues; sometimes they
contradict each other and sometimes they disagree with NIF's own point of view.
A prodemocracy organization working with a diverse and opinionated society has
no choice but to provide room for legitimate voices in the debate and allow the
discussions and even the arguments room to breathe.The truth is, we who
are active in the American Jewish community know that the conversation has moved
on from "Israel-right-orwrong" to asking a deeper question: How can we help our
Israeli cousins build an Israel that is right? No longer do most American Jews
fear for Israel's physical survival; we respect the IDF as the Middle East's
most powerful army.No longer do most American Jews reject the term
"occupation" for what has occurred on the West Bank since 1967, nor do we shy
from expressing concern for the terrible impact of that occupation, and the
ensuing settlement enterprise, on Israeli society and on the Palestinians. And
no longer do we assume that Israeli democracy will somehow always exist,
mirroring the Jewish and universal values of equality and justice, because
unfortunately we have learned that there are Israeli leaders who claim that
those values are wrong for Israel.The "delegitimization" narrative, upon
which the Israeli government and its unofficial allies have spent millions in
hasbara shekels, plays much differently in the US. We who live with a Bill of
Rights know it is not delegitimizing to honestly question government policy,
military behavior, or abuses of human rights. We know that Israel has real
enemies that do not recognize its right to exist as a Jewish homeland – and we
point out that the best argument against them is an Israel that lives up to the
vision of its founders, not one led by demagogues who stoop to the lowest common
denominator of racism and exclusion.NIF donors like me and many
thousands of others worldwide follow these arguments closely.We were not
surprised when an Israeli judge found the radical ultranationalist group Im
Tirzu to have "fascist attributes." Nor were we surprised (although maybe a
little amused) when the so-called NGO Monitor, the self-appointed watchdog that
only watches progressive NGOs, had its social media director banned from
Wikipedia for dishonesty. We are baffled that Israeli groups (or their funders)
would spend money in the US to attack NIF or J Street or Americans for Peace
Now, organizations that provide good reasons for our children to support, rather
than give up on, the notion that Israel can represent the best of Jewish values.
And at a time when other Jewish organizations are losing support, NIF's is
increasing, significantly, every year.We do worry about whether American
Jews are indeed giving up on Israel.From NIF to ZOA and at every shade
of opinion in between, we all lose if the American community loses interest,
loses faith, loses its visceral connection to the Jewish homeland. NIF's way of
supporting Israel – empowering social change activists in every sector for civil
rights, social justice and religious tolerance – is not everyone's way, but we
don't want other routes to Israel blocked off, either.Unlike some, we
think Jews worldwide can and should choose what to say and how to support their
visions of Israel, unfettered by those who would cut off conversation and
repress dissent.So, as much as I have mixed feelings about
ultranationalist tycoons wasting their money, let me give them a tip. If you
want to reach out to NIF donors, and to the millions of Americans who share
their values, don't bother telling us that our money supports organizations
representing progressive opinions and minority causes. We know, we know. Use
your money for something useful – support disadvantaged children or universities
or medical centers.Israel will be a better place, and you'll be getting
some bang for your bucks – or your shekels.Carole Zabar is the founder
of the Other Israel Film Festival and a long-time donor to the New Israel Fund.

A week similar to the last at Ham Wall this week. It still feels as though we are in a bit of an autumn lull before the bulk of wintering birds arrive. There's plenty to get excited about though, as we are privileged enough to have a fine selection of resident birds here in the Avalon Marshes to keep us entertained.
The water level in the are between the 2 platforms is still rising offering a nice mix to attract a selection of birds. Most days, including this morning, have seen well over 100 Lapwing present, plus a couple of Green Sandpipers and at first light this morning 100's of duck were present although not there late morning when I was observing the area. Perhaps they had moved across to the areas in front of either platform where good numbers of water fowl have been seen this week.
Numbers of Wigeon and Teal don't seem to be rising particularly quickly at present but I'm sure it won't be long before we see more significant changes. It's nice to have them back, with their familiar calls being heard each day. Good numbers of Mallard and Gadwall are present as usual, interspersed with smaller numbers of Shoveler, Tufted Duck and the odd Pochard. You may still be lucky enough to see a very late Garganey (one was spotted at Shapwick Heath this week).
Teal - John Crispin
The second platform has recently been a good place to sit and watch awhile. Particularly if you are after sightings of Marsh Harrier which have been frequent here. Great White Egrets are often present too along with varying numbers of feeding Snipe - 15 counted on Monday but we've had over 30 recently. Other waders seen here this week include: Lapwing, Black Tailed Godwits, Ruff (4 on Sunday), Greenshank and Green Sandpiper. A collection such as this often attracts attention from more than just bird watchers - a Peregrine was seen hunting in the area on Monday before moving off south.
A second place worth waiting awhile is the screen at Loxtons. While other areas have water levels rising, here they are being drawn down for the impending track repair work. This draining has left areas of exposed mud and shallow water visible from the screen. Very few waders are taking advantage of this currently, although a single Black Tailed Godwit was seen feeding here on Monday. Ducks are enjoying the area, with a good mix recorded this week: Mallard, Gadwall, Wigeon, Teal and a single male Pochard all seen along with Little Egrets, a Great White Egret and a couple of Bittern fights seen on Monday. John Crispin managed to capture this sequence of shots of a Bittern taking off for a short flight.
A fine piece of Bittern action showing some great features of the bird. As well as 2 sightings at Loxtons John had another 6 from the second platform the same day.
The windier and more rainy days offer much less in the way of insect life - dragonflies are still on the wing with both Ruddy Darter and Migrant Hawker again recorded this week. In terms of Butterflies it's been meager pickings as well, although Red Admiral, Speckled Wood and Peacock have been seen.
In terms of mammals, there's less to report also. Signs of these creatures are there if you look hard enough but sightings are hard to come by. Roe Deer have been seen on the outer edge of the reserve while the odd Grey Squirrel has been spotted - perhaps collecting acorns from the few mature oaks, which line the rail path near Loxtons, towards the second platform.
As the weather changes, we'll see less of reptiles & amphibians too as they begin to look for suitable places to spend the winter months: Common Frog, Marsh Frog & Common Toad have been seen during the week however.
Also this week: 2 Ravens seen flying over the reserve, a Jack Snipe flushed by the contractor cutting vegetation with the Tracked Tractor, a Water Rail spotted from the Tor View Hide at Waltons (others very vocal), small groups of Bearded Tits seen and heard around the reserve - including Loxtons and areas close to the footpath on the other side of the main drain, Great Spotted Woodpecker, mixed flocks of Tits & Finches, Great Crested Grebe & Little Grebe - like this one seen at Loxtons in its winter plumage.
Starling numbers are building - albeit very slowly. As the colder weather arrives - particularly in Easter Europe, we should see a sharp rise. In anticipation of this the Starling Hotline is now up and running. This will tell you the last known location of the roost (there is of course a vast area for them to choose from and the roost location is not necessarily consistent). We are enormously grateful to John Crispin, who does a fantastic job in keeping the starling hotline up to date (and of course sends me fantastic photos to supplement my ramblings!) Thank you John!

That's it for this week - have a great weekend!
We've been moving a bit of water around the site this week (as well as receiving plenty from the sky too). This has been because either we have finished work in certain compartments of the reserve or we are preparing other areas for access in the near future.
The water in front of the 1st platform has now reached a pretty good level - the islands have a covering of water and some ducks can be seen loafing here, while Great White Egrets feed here daily too. The area in front of the 2nd platform has a little more mud showing now as water moves into the section between the 2 platforms where cutting has finished (this has been drained down and dry for some months now) - this is currently splashy and there and a number of duck, Lapwing & Snipe have been seen using this section - these numbers could increase as water levels rise so keep a watch.
The area of most change however has got to be Loxtons. We have continued to pump down this section to enable a contractor to build up the pathways to try and solve our flooding problems in this area. A fair amount of tree felling & pruning has been undertaken here too to compliment this work. It is hope he can start in the first week of November.
The upside of this is that the area in front of the Loxtons screen has been more productive than usual. The left had spit has both muddy areas exposed and shallow water making it suitable for a wide range of birds. Frequent Great White Egret visits here along with Little Egrets help make this an interesting place to sit and watch for a while.
Little Egrets
Great White Egret landing in Loxtons (plus a Little Egret for a size comparison)
I sat here a while on Wednesday with some volunteers while we had lunch and saw both the above, Great Crested Grebe, Cormorants, Grey Heron, Teal, Mallard, Gadwall and Tufted Duck. We were also lucky enough to see a Water Rail scoot across the open water in front of us before disappearing, a Kingfisher and a Bittern fly over. On Thursday one landed about 20 feet from the hide in the reeds while John Crispin was present, unfortunately didn't show well enough for a good photo before flying off.
There's also a good opportunity to see Little Grebes close up as they come quite close to the screen, while Kingfishers are a common sight here they are very aware of any noise or movement and so are easily spooked. A drake Mandarin (in eclipse) was present at the end of last week but not seen this week.
The area in front of the 2nd platform is also worth studying for a while. The numbers of waders here varies form day to day but commonly seen are Ruff (up to 5), Black Tailed Godwits (anything from 5 to 75), Lapwing c50 although c130 flew over the reserve this morning, 5 Whimbrel in flight over here and Loxtons on Weds, a Little Stint here on Thursday & Snipe. 32 Snipe were seen here on Thursday - the majority feeding and preening (just a handful sleeping) - a wonderful sight! Up to 5 Greenshank were also spotted the same day.
Black Tailed Godwits
The area is also home to a number of duck including Wigeon c50, Teal, Shoveler, Mallard & Gadwall. Bearded Tits have also put in an appearance with 3 seen here on Thursday but they have also been heard at the first platform, in Loxtons and I heard a large number together north of the 1st platform area this morning (c10).
Away from birds and things are perhaps a little quieter now - mammals are of course much harder to see but there always a chance of Roe Deer feeding on the grassy banks, while the signs are there of Badgers and Otters using the reserve. Mice and Voles can sometimes be seen scurrying across the old railway path or in the undergrowth and we been catching a few in our workshop (they've been chewing the electrical cables) and releasing them on the reserve ( good for a bit of added diversity).
I also forgot to mention last week that there was a sighting of Water Vole, conveniently during a Water Vole Survey which volunteers were undertaking where they look for signs. Sightings are quite rare here - normally you just hear a plop in the water and it's gone.
There are still a few insects about - the most obvious of course butterflies & dragonflies. Reduced numbers this week: Peacock & Red Admiral both seen during the week and a lovely Clouded Yellow following the Waltons trail this morning. For dragonflies, I've really only seen the 2 species this week - Migrant Hawker and Ruddy Darter. The Ruddy Darters were, as last week, egg laying in pairs in shallow pools during sunny spells. A Grey Wagtail was keeping them company this week - a lovely little bird to watch.
Red Admiral
Also this week: 2 Great Spotted Woodpecker, 2 Raven, 2 Male Marsh Harriers & 2 Bullfinch all on Tuesday, female Sparrowhawk sat on the wooden gate where you enter Waltons from the rail path on Weds, Hornets seen passing in front of the 1st platform, vocal Water Rails across the reserve, big parties of Long Tailed Tits following the tree lines ,2 Redwing flying in front of the 1st platform also on Weds (others seen locally), plenty of Buzzard sightings, Kestrel on the north of the reserve and a slight increase in Starling numbers.
I've not seen myself but a figure of around 10,000 has been mentioned by a couple of people going into Meare Heath at Shapwick Heath - this of course could increase by at least 100 times this over the next couple of months so worth a visit then for sure - plus we should have somewhere for people to park then too. The work in the new car park is progressing nicely - fingers crossed we will be able to open for parking by the end of November.
That's all for this week - have a great weekend!
Things are most definitely changing on the reserve now - the leaves are turning brown (as is the reed), the wind has picked up and with colder nights and bouts of rain, autumn has arrived. Wildlife is responding to this too, with small parties of Swallows have passing through each day and even 1 or 2 House Martins have been reported. Locally reports of Redwing and Fieldfare arriving in peoples gardens is a sure indicator of Autumn while on the local reserves the arrival of more Teal and Wigeon and reports of groups of Siskin show a similar theme.
The gathering of Waders of course is an autumn highlight and this week large groups of Black Tailed Godwits have been seen in flight and 70 or more landing in front of the 2nd platform to feed along with a few Lapwing and the odd Snipe. A Green Sandpiper was also seen among them this morning.
Black Tailed Godwits (plus the odd Lapwing)
Godwits feeding in front of the 2nd platform
Of course, where large numbers of wildfowl and waders gather so to do the predators such as the Marsh Harrier as the picture above shows. These birds are being seen regularly at the moment - I had one myself from the 1st platform this morning. 2 different birds were also spotted over Loxtons today.
Female Marsh Harrier
Water in Loxtons has been pumped down to allow access for a digger to build up the paths around the back which have flooded annually in recent years causing long term closures for most of the trail. This work should get underway soon. It's still closed but there is access to the hide. The pumping has attracted several species as the shallow water becomes more suited to their needs.
This morning the following list was compiled by John Crispin:
Great White Egret x1, Marsh Harrier x2, Mallard c50, Gadwall x4, Pochard x1, Shoveler x4, Little Egret x1, Teal x9, Tufted Duck x2, Coot x4 and 2 Kinfishers flying together. Add to this the usual plethora of Cormorants on the rafts and the occasional Bittern Flight (2 this morning but there ahve been several here this week) and it's not a bad haul, so worth a walk down.
Bearded Tits are showing well for people lately (well, better than usual anyway). A few have been spotted or heard around both Waltons and Loxtons this week and from both viewing platforms this morning - on both occasions just to the right hand side. I was just telling a visitor that they might see some there (1st platform) this morning and 3 promptly flew along for a few yards - if only it always went like that.
The Tor view hide is still proving popular with visitors - there's always a good chance of a Water Rail sighing here - there have been several lately. They are certainly very vocal on the reserve at the moment, so it looks like we have a healthy population. Little & Great Crested Grebe were seen from there this morning and there are one or two Snipe hidden away on some of the edges - you may be lucky enough to track one down.
Preening Snipe
The warmer spells are still proving good news for the remaining dragonflies and butterflies. Ruddy Darters are still frequently seen - some pairing off and egg laying in pools this week. Migrant Hawker, Southern Hawker and Common Darter also seen. For butterflies - still plenty of Specked Wood but also Small Tortoiseshell, Red Admiral and Peacock recorded.
One of the best sightings of the week was that of more Great Crested Newts - another youngster from this year and an adult male this time. We are currently doing some specific habitat management work to help these at the moment and ensure the long tern survival of the reserves populations - so it's fantastic to see them. Smooth Newt has also been seen this week and we also get Palmate newt on the reserve. Other Amphibians such as Common Toad and Common Frog are also being seen but it won't be long before they start to look for somewhere to lay low for the winter. Marsh Frogs too are present on the reserve and have been heard croaking away this week during sunny spells.
Also this week: 2 Roe deer disturbed from the Central Wood, Hobby from 1st platform this morning, Peregrine from the same point on Tuesday, Tawny Owls heard calling from Central Wood and Barn Owl from woods in front of the first platform, Raven, plenty of Buzzards and Great Spotted Woodpecker too.
Starlings currently roosting in Waltons c2000 birds this of course is subject to change but gives you an idea.
That's it for this week. Have a great weekend!

Lakewood to throw end-of-summer bash
Date: August 26, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — East County families have one last chance to splash away the summer and welcome in the new school year.
Lakewood Ranch Community Activities will host its annual free Back to School Splash Bash event from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Aug. 29, at the Lakewood Ranch YMCA, 5100 Lakewood Ranch Blvd.
"This is the last summer celebration before the kids have to buckle down and start studying for the new school year," event organizer Lori Basilone said. "It's for all families with school-age children."
Activities will include swimming activities for prizes, a 25-foot inflatable waterslide, a dunk tank and Slip 'n Slide. The YMCA also will set up Skate Jam for children wishing to test out their skateboarding skills.
Explore Some More Children's Museum also will be on site with a bubbles exhibit. Community organizations will be offering free sno-cones and watermelon to guests, but attendees also can purchase a lunch of either a hot dog or hamburger with chips and a drink for $5. Pre-registration for meal tickets is recommended, but not necessary, Basilone said.
Recommended items to bring include a swimsuit, a towel, water shoes, sunscreen, a skateboard and helmet and lawn chairs. Attendees also are asked to donate a new or gently used children's book, which will go to the Manatee Food Bank's Royalty for Reading program.
"We're really hoping that folks will take the time to dig through to find something they have or buy (a book)," Basilone said.
Event organizers are expecting 500 children — about twice as many as year's past when the event was held at the Lakewood Ranch Athletic Center.
"(Using the YMCA) really gives us room to grow," Basilone said. "We're expecting a good crowd."
Basilone said she has been advertising the event through Twitter. Those interested in attending can follow her updates by typing "LWRCAC."
Contact Pam McTeer at email@example.com.

Good morning all and thanks for kind wishes - it's the frustration that's the worst - but I expect you've guessed that
Really looking forward to a garden visit at the weekend - Snoodle is going to come and pick me up
Last time I asked when my booster was due the nurse told me I didn't need any more as I'd have built up enough immunity by now - I think I'll speak to the GP about it when I go for my next checkup in a couple of months.
Are the blotches on the leaves or the curds?
Yes, so would rats.
It really doesn't sound very happy. Has it had any proper leaves at all this summer? If not I would presume it's dead.

This was another bad product with bad results for me. It absolutely stinks-I actually had to get up from bed to wash it off because I couldn't sleep due to the smell on my face. Still, I tried it again and again. It broke me out horribly. YUCK.

I received a sample of this with my latest Sephora order and I was so excited to try it. My skin is very sensitive and lately it's been a bit dry. My skin stays clear so I don't bother with foundation or powder.
I applied this in the morning and then went to work. Within 30 minutes of applying this my skin felt very oily. Infact, my face was so oily and greasy from this lotion that my hair that frames the sides of my face actually got oily from touching my face. Ewwwwwwwwwwww! That has never happened before. When I got home work I noticed the oily end of my hair (which is NEVER oily) and I had the beginnings of several pimples where I had applied the lotion on my forehead, chin, and cheeks.
Grrrrrrrrreat. Stay away from this one!

Good stuff! I have been using it for a week and can already tell a difference in the brightness and fine lines. It can be a tad greasy, so I put it on lightly for the day. The only problem is the smell which is a strong plastic smell that lingers for awhile..yuck

Okay, I guess I am weird. I LOVE the smell of this moisturizer. I am not sensitive at all, but usually may have a break out or two when using a new product. Not so with this. I use it with Purity, On a Clear Day Blemish Gel, Help Me at night, and The Present for foundation primer. All are wonderful, although I think the Help me, at$45, is too pricey. So far, I haven't seen too much from that one.

After getting on a plane and having a five-hour layover in Chicago I finally arrived in Cleveland where I was transported down to Massillon by Midwest/East Recruiting Analyst Bob Lichtenfels to watch Massillon take on Solon. It was a definite game of interest as Massillon features one of the most highly rated running backs in Devoe Torrence and a highly touted junior defensive back in J.T. Turner.
Torrence, who has made a commitment to attend Ohio State, did not play his best game, and the team struggled due to the fact they could not establish the run. Solon went on to win a hard fought defensive battle. Most of the times he touched the ball three or four defenders were drilling him before even had the chance to get out of the backfield. It was also interesting to note that Torrence did not play one snap on defense despite the fact he may have been one of the best linebackers in the state a year ago when he played for Canton South.
Turner was an exciting prospect. At 6-foot-2, 190-pounds, he was a real weapon and was used on offense, defense, and special teams. He lined up at corner for Massillon, but with his size he will most likely be a ball hawking safety on the collegiate level. Solon did not really test his pass coverage skills to often, but he showed great ability to make tackles against the run.
Saturday: Herbstreit Challenge
After a long day on Friday it was another early start on Saturday, but there was still an air of excitement as we knew that we were going to get a chance to see and talk to some of the best talents in the country.
Grove City Vs. Buford-
Coming in to this game most of the experts thought that Buford would come in and take care of business, and they were not mistaken.
Leading the team was defensive tackle Omar Hunter. Hunter was lightning quick off of the ball and strong as an ox. It was not surprising to sometimes see him driving his man 10 yards into the backfield, blowing up the quarterback.
Hunter got it done up front, but the core of the Buford defense was the linebacking core led by Georgia Tech commitment T.J. Pridemore (Right). Pridemore was a hard hitter and also played well in pass coverage. The physical skills were all there, but the thing that may have stood out the most about him was the fact he never quit on a play. He gave 100 percent effort on every snap. Jay Tee Swanson and Tyler King were also very effective. Like Pridemore they were warriors and went as hard as he could go on every snap. Neither players were listing a division one scholarship offer at this time, but there is no doubt that both could play on that level.
Glenville Vs. Long Beach Poly-
Long Beach Poly came to Ohio and defeated one of the state's most hyped programs in the Glenville Tarblooders. This match-up clearly featured an amazing collection of talent.
Poly got off to an early lead behind the blocking of their center Douglas Spacht. He blew people off of the ball when Poly ran and was a rock in pass protection. He also seemed to be the commander along the offensive line and you could hear him calling out assignments way up in the press box. He has some minor offers, but do not be shocked to see him add BCS offers soon.
You could spend all day talking about the talents on Poly, but the core of the team in this game was the hard hitting safeties: Vaughn Telemaque and Herman Davidson. Telemague was tremendous in pass coverage and was like a great centerfielder, as he tracked down everything.
Davidson was an absolute monster, and was drawing oohs and ahhs from the crowd as he completely obliterated ball carriers, and struck fear in to receivers who attempted to catch the ball over the middle. On one play he smacked one Glenville receiver so hard in the endzone that it appeared he was knocked out cold before he even hit the ground. His presence may have saved the game for Poly as Glenville receiver Cordale Scott dropped a pass on similar pattern that could have potentially tied the game. Could he hear the footsteps?
Glenville junior offensive lineman Marcus Hall is going to be a national recruit. He has the size and frame to be a potential top 100 type of player, and if his game continues to progress as it has over the last year, then there is probably no doubt.
One player who really surprised me was William Lowe. With all of the talent at Glenville not many people talk about Lowe, but that will assuredly change throughout the year. At 5-foot-10, 165 pounds, he is as good or better than many players that have come through the program who have inked with Big 10 programs.
Gateway Vs. Cardinal Mooney-
This game was poised to be a classic, but Mooney's Michael Zordich put the team on his back and helped pave the way to a 27-6 victory. Zordich starred on both sides of the ball and had two of the key plays that put the nail in Gateway's coffin. He had an amazing touchdown run where he broke tackle after tackle and even mowed down five-star defensive end Shayne Hale on his way to the end zone. Later on a very controversial play, Zordich made an athletic play to pick off a Gateway pass along the sidelines to set up another Cardinal score.
Taylor Hill (Left) is another player that helped change the game early on. He got a ton of pressure on the Gateway quarterback off of the edge. The Gators just never could get it going offensively due to the fact they could not establish a passing attack, and Hill played a huge role in the disruption.
2009 prospect Johnny Simon is an absolute monster along the defensive line. He is one of the most physically impressive prospects that you will ever see. He has muscles on muscles, but just being a physical presence does not make you a good football player. Simon has the skills to be special. He uses his hands well and plays with real passion. Double teaming him did not even really slow him at all.
For Gateway the player that really stood out to me initially was Cameron Saddler. It is definitely not hard to notice a player with his speed. He suffered a minor injury and that really hurt the chances of a Gateway comeback.
2009 recruit Dorian Bell looks the part, and has a tremendous frame. He moves very well. The Mooney offense was moving the ball with great consistency, but Bell was the main cog in Gateway's defensive wheel.
Shayne Hale has made the move to defensive end, and you can tell that it is an adjustment for him. He played very tentatively and it looked almost like he was nursing a nagging leg injury. He may be making an adjustment to the position, but there is no doubting his talent. Despite looking slowed, he showed real flashes of athleticism and pure speed.
Union Vs. McKinley-
Union rolled over McKinley, who was missing their top player sophomore Jewone Snow, who suffered an ACL injury and will miss five weeks.
The brightest star on the field was 2009 running back Jeremy Smith, who was almost unstoppable when giving a running lane to work with. He has tremendous feet and balance. He is a shifty back who just makes people miss. It would not be surprising to see him as a potential four-star recruit when rankings are assigned next spring.
The Union victory was much aided by kicker Tress Way, who has made a commitment to play at Oklahoma. Way boomed every kick-off in to the end zone and every punt put the McKinley offense at a disadvantage. It is not often you talk about the presence of a kicker in high school ball, but Way's play helped keep the Bulldogs pinned deep in their own territory all night. That was a key as McKinley was never able to establish a passing attack or move the ball consistently.
Sunday: Herbstreit Challenge
After an nineteen hour day on Saturday Lichtenfels drove us down to Columbus for a three hour pit stop. It was also the halfway point for the drive down I-71 to Cincinnati. We did not want to be late setting up for the much anticipated match-up between DeMatha and St. Xavier. Little did we know the nightcap game between Trotwood and Highlands was going to be the most interesting battle of the day.
DeMatha Vs. St. Xavier-
St. X's best player, Darius Ashley, was sidelined with an ankle injury, so there was never really just one player who stood out for St. X. It was very much a team effort. The linebackers and defensive line pretty much controlled the game, shutting down the DeMatha running game and controlling the superstar athletes at receiver. Stanford commit Fred Craig (Right) was the most highly recruited player on the field for X, but for the most part the play was wrapped up before Craig had the chance to get involved.
DeMatha superstar Kenny Tate was kept pretty quiet, but the two most notable times he got his hands on the ball and made a move you could tell that he had the moves and the speed of an elite recruit. He was fast and shifty, but just watching him on those instances made you want to see what he could do with more touches.
The one player that really made an impression on me was Virginia commit Rodney McLeod. McLeod was a solid wide receiver and the presence of Tate definitely opens up some offensive opportunity for him, but I was almost equally impressed with him on the defensive side of the ball. He was good in coverage, and was the most ferocious tackler on the squad.
Pittsburgh Central Catholic Vs. Northmont-
PCC had little trouble with Northmont, and it had much to do with the play of Dan Vaughan. He was an unstoppable force on defense and offense. He scored two touchdowns on offense and was terrorizing the Northmont quarterback all day long.
While Quentin Williams has received a plethora of offers it was an underclassman who really solidified himself as the second best player on the field for PCC on this day. David Meyers, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound defensive back will no doubt be one of the best players in the class of 2010. Vaughan was an absolute stud on both sides of the ball, but if I had to take one defender off of the team it would be Meyers, whose play could be synonymous with the word headhunter.
Northmont's Zebrie Sanders played a marvelous game in the losing effort. He went as far as to say in a post game interview that he played the best game of his career, and I would agree. He pancaked man after man early on and was almost invincible in pass protection. He should probably be considered as one of the best pass-pro tackles in the entire nation. His footwork and hands are amazing, and it he plays so effortlessly that it seems he is not even trying.
Highlands Vs. Trotwood-
Highlands defeated Trotwood because they performed well as a unit. The defense was not really that good on either team, but they got out to an early lead and were able to hold off the Rams after completing a long touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter. The player of the game was probably junior Josh Connor who was consistently solid all day long and rushed for well over 100 yards.
Despite losing the game Trotwood still put up some impressive offensive numbers. Michael Shaw (Left) exploded on to the recruiting scene earlier this year when his highlight film went national after it appeared on Scout.com. It was not like people did not notice him while he led Alter a state championship in 2006, but the move to the "Wood" guaranteed that schools could no longer delay in making him know that he was at the top of their priority list. He was considered by many to be a "system" back, but this game should quiet those critics. He is an explosive player that is multi-faceted. His hands are amazing, he has a feel for the defenders, he has good feet, and he is undoubtedly one of he fastest players in the Midwest.
Domonick Britt put up some good numbers and if you were to see the highlights of him from the game you would probably be impressed with what you saw, but at the same time he had some iffy throws and reads. The thing I love about Britt is his potential for growth. He is a playmaker and brings a quality of excitement to every snap. You just never know when he is going to do something exhilarating.
The player that personally impressed me the most is Roy Roundtree. He has really evolved as a receiver over the last year. He burst on the scene as a junior and made some amazing catches, and that allowed him to build confidence in his abilities. He is absolutely fearless coming over the middle to catch the ball. He may not run a 4.4 forty, but of the games that I saw he most likely had best hands of any receiver that took the field.

Impact of outsourcing on customer serviceIn growing numbers, companies are outsourcing their customer service needs and depending on technology to be the "end all" for all of their customer service needs. When customers call a company today, rather than speaking directly with a customer service agent they are directed through a series of prompts to get automated answers to get questions. Often, getting to a "human" is so frustrating that by the time customers are able to reach a person, they are already frustrated.
Quality service to all customers must be the standard. Providing quality service means developing customer loyalty. It often means new streams of business. New streams of business are created when a customer feels they have been treated well, that their needs are met and they will likely share their story about your company with another person.
While technology is available as a tool, there is really little that it does to help keeps customers happy. Technology should be one of the tools that is used to keep your customers needs filled, but there must be quick, efficient ways for all customers to exit an automated system and reach a person if they are having difficulty using an automated system.
Customer bill of rightsWhile it is true that many businesses take the approach that the customer is always right, this is not always true. There are however, some basic rights that all customers should be entitled to.
- Accuracy - When a customer calls inquiring about their account the information they are presented with should always be accurate.
- Benefit - Make sure that your customer understands the benefits of working with your company to resolve problems.
- Courtesy - Customers should always be treated with courtesy. Everyone has the right to be treated with courtesy.
- Dignity - Just because a customers problem may seem insignificant to a customer service agent, they are not insignificant to the customer.
Making sure that customers are happy is the secret to developing a strong reputation for every business. A strong reputation means that the business is more likely continue to thrive even in difficult economic times. Making a commitment today to providing customers with great customer service means that customers may be more loyal. Sharing your belief with everyone in your company that great customer service must be the standard should promote an air of cooperation and help promote customer and employee loyalty.

Back in Session
This week the Texas Legislature gaveled in the 83rd Legislative Session and higher education will be one of the top agenda items discussed, debated and legislated during this Session. Cost, accessibility and quality are all topics of discussion, as well as the potential appointment of 16 regents to Texas university systems. Texas, of course, isn't the only state where higher education is a hot topic. The American Association of State Colleges and Universities this week issued a report on the "Top 10 Higher Education State Policy Issues for 2013." The full report can be viewed here, but the issues range from state support to college readiness and online education. Many of these same issues continue to dominate discussions in Texas. The Coalition will continue to be a thoughtful voice in any debate on higher education as we have since our inception in June of 2011. We believe in the critical importance of both teaching and research, we promote quality in higher education, and we support university leaders who have demonstrated their commitment to a culture of excellence and continual innovation. We also support the efforts of those universities that are working to achieve Tier One status, which would bring additional research and development capabilities, and create jobs and economic opportunity throughout Texas. This legislative session we will champion those efforts to improve quality education for Texas students and criticize any so-called "reforms" that will undermine the quality and integrity of our universities, especially our Tier One institutions.

Texas A&M selected best for veteransMilitary veterans-turned-Aggies have made the best possible college decision, according to a ranking of nearly 1,400 colleges nationwide. Red Raiders aren't too far behind. Texas A&M University in College Station was named the best school for veterans based on 19 different factors by College Factual, a website that crunches data on higher education to provide numerous rankings.This ranking aims "to help veterans and active duty service members to identify colleges that are likely to be supportive of them and their unique needs," according to College Factual's website.The factors considered in the ranking include affordability, veteran population, veteran flexibility, veteran policies, veteran resources and overall college quality.A&M had 1,213 undergraduate students receiving GI Bill benefits at the time the data was collected and participates in all four federal programs that help set the standards for veteran education, according to College Factual.
Three Texas universities in top world rankingsWorld university rankings are out and Texas has some bragging rights. The University of Texas at Austin, Rice University in Houston and Texas A&M University at College Station were listed in the top 200 public and private universities around the world, according to Times Higher Education's World University Rankings. They ranked 28, 69 and 141, respectively.Last year, Times Higher Education had the same universities ranked at 27, 65 and 159. The University of Texas at Dallas was listed at 188 that year. But there's also some sobering news. While the U.S. has more universities in the top 200 than any other country, its universities' rankings have dropped most drastically. And the U.S. is 13th in "bang for the buck," pointing out what parents and loan-strapped recent grads say often—higher ed is pricey.Continue reading
