Islands | A multihued archipelago, tuned to soccer's harmonics
—Haruki Murakami, "Hanalei Bay"
Honolulu | Major League Soccer executives and tourism authorities sounded gloomy about long-term prospects for the Pan-Pacific Soccer Championships, blaming low attendance at Aloha Stadium on "sports fatigue" and inadequate marketing. Excitement over native son Barack Obama, who won Hawai'i's presidential caucus the day before the tournament started on Feb 20, meant soccerheads had to search even harder for news before the inaugural four-match event, featuring L.A. Galaxy, Houston Dynamo, Sydney FC and Gamba Osaka.

With a less-than-fit David Beckham failing to draw the customary sell-out crowd, MLS commissioner Don Garber seemed genuinely puzzled afterward. His endorsement of the tournament sounded tinny: "We want to see it continue," Garber told the Honolulu Advertiser.
Eyes fixated on the bottom line, league marketers will not pause to appreciate how the archipelago's racial and ethnic mixing offers the country's best grassroots soccer setting. Obama's backers, heralding the candidate's presidential-preference sweep, promoted the "Aloha spirit" that gave him 76 percent of the vote among a record 37,000 caucus-goers. The Boston Globe reported:
Hawaiians boast that they have no ethnic majority. And many of them believe the state's numerous nationalities and ethnicities—including native islanders, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, and whites such as Obama's mother, who came here from Kansas, and Africans like his father, who came from Kenya—played a crucial role in shaping Obama's unifying message.
Hawai'i had been chosen over other venues, including Australia, as host. The MLS promotional arm, Soccer United Marketing, believes—along with previous generations of naval strategists—that success on the Islands presages success in Asia. The North American Soccer League placed a side, Team Hawaii, in Honolulu before the 1977 season, and one season was as long as it lasted. But filmmaker George Fosty credits Pelé's one appearance at Aloha Stadium—a 2–1 Cosmos victory—with a boom in the soccer culture, such that the working title of a documentary on Hawaiian soccer history is Pele's Children (the pun with the name of the Hawai'i volcano goddess is intended). The crowd for the Pelé match was surpassed Feb 23, when 23,087 attended the Gamba Osaka–Houston "final."
For the Japanese locals especially—and the hundreds of supporters in train—Gamba Osaka's 6–1 triumph seemed appropriate on an island chain to which Japanese have immigrated since the 1880s. By the early 1920s, due to their desirability as workers on sugar and fruit plantations, the Japanese already formed the largest percentage of Hawai'i's population.
According to an assessment by the Library of Congress, the Japanese from their majority position built institutions and communities that outshone similar expatriate creations in the mainland United States. "The newspapers, schools, stores, temples, churches, and baseball teams that they founded," reads the LOC review, "were the legacy of a community secure of its place in Hawaii, and they became a birthright that was handed down to the generations that followed."
On one Thursday evening in Jan 1944, table football at the Young Kansas Citians' Club in Missouri offered a recreational outlet for resettled Japanese Americans. (War Relocation Authority, Photographs of Japanese-American Evacuation and Resettlement, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley)
I lived part of my childhood on the Islands' largest Army post, Schofield Barracks, established in 1909 between the Koolau and Waianae mountain ranges. Here I gained preternatural awareness of the importance of sport—baseball and gridiron games between teams on post were around-the-clock fixtures—and of the Islands' connection to Japan. My father took me regularly to a Japanese barber and to one of the first showings of Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970). With my interest thus peaked, we took the obligatory boat excursion to the USS Arizona Memorial. Any time I wished I could put my fingers through bullet holes in the barracks' thick stucco façades—evidence of the 7 Dec 1941 strafings. I even recall feeling wary when exploring zones of lush vegetation on the 18,000-acre post, fearing that disaffected Japanese soldiers might be in wait.
The Pearl Harbor attack transformed long-standing xenophobia to the Japanese presence in the United States—they were barred until 1952 from becoming naturalized citizens—to one of the 20th century's great infringements on civil liberties. Executive Order 9066, which Franklin Roosevelt signed in Feb 1942, authorized evacuation of Japanese Americans from "military areas," ultimately to include most of the mainland West Coast. More than 100,000 Japanese Americans were herded to relocation camps on moonscape terrains in the Far West and Deep South. Another 30,000—Japanese, Germans and Italians from the mainland, the Hawaiian territory and Latin America—spent time in a larger number of internment camps. These individuals were arrested and held without trial, even after World War II had concluded (see Craig Gima, "In a Small Town in Texas …," Honolulu Star-Bulletin, 8 Nov 02, for a personal account of an internment facility in Crystal City, Texas).
Not far south of my childhood of paradisiacal bliss, overgrown with haole koa, monkeypod trees and grass, rest the foundations of Honouliuli Internment Camp. The 160-acre facility of barracks, tents and mess hall—surveyed by a National Park Service archaeologist shortly before President Bush signed a bill authorizing $38 million for preservation of such sites—survives as a hodgepodge of concrete slabs and barbed wire on leased farmland. (Preservation funds have yet to be appropriated for any of the internment sites.)
Honouliuli housed Japanese, German and Italian men beginning in Mar 1943; four other camps around the Islands were also in service at various times. Altogether, some 1,500 Hawaiians spent time in internment camps, a surprisingly low number considering the estimated wartime Japanese population of 140,000—40 percent of the populace. Again, a multicultural network of cooperation might have preserved the authority of Hawai'i's martial-law government and prevented massive detentions. Tom Coffman, director of the documentary film The First Battle, emphasizes how community advocacy preserved the Islands' sense of themselves as a self-determining cultural mix: "It was an essential struggle between Hawai'i being a multiracial democracy and a model of a distant military outpost of the United States," Coffman says. "In that sense, the future was up for grabs."
On 25 Aug 1942, George Hoshida created this ink-and-watercolor rendering of Kilauea Military Detention Camp, with Mauna Loa looming in the distance. He cultivated an interest in drawing during an incarceration of more than three years, spread among five concentration camps from Hawai'i to Arkansas. (George Hoshida Collection, Japanese American National Museum, Los Angeles)
Internment zones in Hawai'i contrast with the more comprehensive relocation-center barracks in Arkansas, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and California, which made room for recreation grounds, including soccer fields. Ansel Adams on a 1943 foray to the Manzanar War Relocation Center in California photographed card games as well as baseball, calisthenics, gridiron and volleyball. Martial arts were practiced, and the Manzanar facility operated its own newspaper, Manzanar Free Press, which reported regularly on recreation and sports in the camp:
Goh, shogi, drama, musicals, woodcarving, gardening and poem writing are the favorite pastimes for the elderly men. Embroidery, flower making, knitting, leathercraft, sewing, dramas and musicals are the predominant recreations for the women.
Through the medium of talent shows, dances, softball, basketball, football and tennis games, weight lifting contests, song fests, folk dances, parties, ping pong and movies, the morale of the younger residents has been kept at a high level. In addition to these diversions, several groups have been organized to form music, model airplane building, painting, and literature clubs for persons in all walks of life. ("Community Activities," 10 Sept 1943, p. 19)
Soccer games, with various levels of organization, occurred in at least two of the concentration camps and likely in others that had land available for recreation. Internees recount intramural games for youth at Crystal City, Texas; in the Department of Justice–administered Fort Missoula Internment Camp in Montana, authorities permitted a mixed-nationalities league among Japanese, Italians and Germans. The league proceeded successfully despite animus among the three groups. In a karmic parallel, the same ground for at least 30 years has contained soccer fields managed by the Missoula Parks and Recreation Department.
As a means of cultural exchange between Japan and Hawai'i, the most important sport might be sumo, according to Jonathan Okamura of the University of Hawai'i Public Policy Center. Since the 1960s native Hawaiians—Akebono Taro, most notably—have been recruited to join the esteemed sumo ranks, although the eligibility of foreigners has since been limited.
The four-goal scorer for Gamba Osaka on Feb 23 was Bare, a Brazilian, calling attention to another manifestation of the Japanese diaspora. On Jun 18, Brazil and Japan recognize the centenary of the arrival in Santos of the first Japanese migrants—781 aboard the Kasato Maru. Including those of mixed ethnicity, Brazil contains the largest Japanese population (1.5 million) outside Japan. Among the Japanese Brazilian contingent are current footballers Paulo Nagamura (Chivas USA), Rodrigo Tabata (Santos), Sandro Hiroshi (Chunnam Dragons, K-League) and Marcus Tulio Tanaka (Urawa Reds).
Finally, another overlooked element of Hawai'i's ethnic blending are the 104,000 Hispanic residents, who have contributed to the soccer credibility of a state with more than two dozen American Youth Soccer Organization leagues, from the Big Island's Kau district to eastern Kauai (Chad Blair, "Pan-Pacific Championship Will Test Whether State Gets Kick Out of Soccer," Pacific Business News, Feb 22).
As in other American cities, one barrier to the professional game is lack of a stadium constructed specifically for soccer. Aloha Stadium seats 50,000 for gridiron, but seats had to be removed to lengthen the pitch for the Pan-Pacific matches. MLS' Garber and retinue complained loudly about the poor quality of the artificial surface. Culturally speaking, Hawai'i may offer the best venue for soccer in the Pacific, but even those not connected to the game—such as an official with the Hawai'i Tourism Authority—could see that "players get a little too close to the walls."
A U.S. government propaganda film, "A Challenge to Democracy," tries to soft-pedal internment of Nisei (first-generation migrants) and Issei (U.S.-born): "They are merely dislocated people …" (War Relocation Authority)

News and recent developments
March 2009: Ariel Lerda and Abel Diaz have developed Spanish-language construction plans for a modified version of Teong Tan's Double-Angled-Twelve-Sided (DATS) solar cooker, which was originally featured in the March 2002 Solar Cooker Review. They call this new model the Collapsible Parabolic Cooker. Their modifications include an alternative pot support structure and a method of assembly that allows for more compact storage of the cooker. Lerda and Diaz also offer tips for making this and other cardboard solar cookers more durable and weather resistant. Like the original DATS, this version is comprised of 12 foil-lined cardboard panels, each with a slight bend about three-fifths of the way down, connected in a circular manner to fsorm a shape similar to a parabola. Instead of permanently connecting the 12 panels, Lerda and Diaz opted to hinge them in an inside-outside alternating fashion using pieces of glued fabric, leaving the last panel unhinged but with a series of connectors that can be cinched together with string. This allows the cooker to be folded up accordion style when not in use. The mechanism for cinching together the base of the panels has also been modified. Whereas in the original DATS design the lower, narrow ends of the panels had two "ears" with holes punched in them through which a cinching string was pulled, Lerda and Diaz instead incorporate a series of wires attached to a base plate that protrude through the panels in such a way that a string can be cinched around them, eliminating the need for the ears. To increase strength and durability of cardboard, Lerda and Diaz recommend gluing durable fabric around exposed ends, placing wire between the fabric and cardboard on ends that will be particularly susceptible to damage. They also suggest that gluing two pieces of corrugated cardboard together with the corrugations perpendicular to each other is a simple way to add strength. Construction plans for this and many other cookers are available on the SCI-sponsored Solar Cooking Archive.See also

I had always heard the saying that each trial we go through makes us stronger. And better able to handle the next one. As a teenager, I wondered why life was so hard. (I went to four high schools in 3 years.)
My mom was raised in an orphanage. My dad joined the Air Force at the age of 17. They were married young. They had 11 kids before they divorced when I was 12. My dad had two more kids, making a total of 13.Where do I fall, you are wondering? I am number 8. (And just to be fair, my husband has 11 in his family, too).
Life was hard in a lot of ways. Each trial we were called upon to bear, the easier the last one seemed. During a particularly difficult time when Wade was dealing with some health issues, my sister-in-law gave me some advice I have never forgotten. She said that maybe I had to go through all of the trials in my young life so that I could handle what I was going through at the time. Amazing thought.
So, in February of 2010, when I started taking care of my dad, I realized how grateful I was for the upbringing I had. I am so grateful and truly blessed for every trial and experience I have been through in my life. That broken road has been a blessing in my life and has led me to where I am now. My dad had Alzheimer's. All of my previous trials allowed me to be strong for my dad when he needed me most, until he died in November, 2010 at the age of 73.
I continue to be amazed at how blessed I am. How every time something hard comes up, I just think, "Ok, we can get through this." It isn't a question of, "Why?" anymore, but rather, "What am I supposed to learn from this?"
Wade the book Ye are the Light of The World last night when he read to me a quote by Harold B Lee. He says, "Death of a loved one is the most severe test that you will ever face, and if you can rise above your griefs and if you will trust in God, then you will be able to surmount any other difficulty with which you may be faced." If that is the toughest thing I have to face, I am ready for anything.

La Guajira: The Undiscovered Magic of Colombia
For those of you who don't know, La Guajira is the northern most department in Colombia. It is an exotic peninsula bordered by Venezuela and the Caribbean Sea. It contains some of the most incredible natural landscapes I have ever laid eyes on and is home to the incredible Wayuu indigenous group. Even so, La Guajira is perhaps one of the least explored regions in Colombia, both by Colombians and foreign tourists alike, and still lags behind other regions and cities of Colombia when it comes to popular travel destinations. After having travelled around La Guajira several times, I have realized, though, that it is a truly magical place full of color, nature, history, culture, and life.

Rooting for former Brewers in the playoffs
milwaukee brewers October 15th, 2012
Despite the Brewers season being over, baseball is still being played. There are three baseball teams and one soulless machine sent from hell still remaining. Some of you may be tempted to watch these baseball games and take a rooting interest in the outcomes of those games. I can't discourage this enough. First of all, all the other teams suck and aren't remotely as cool as the team from Milwaukee. Second of all, the Cardinals are just going to win the World Series again and make you hate your life even more for those two weeks you spent rooting for the Tigers. Just forget it. Black it out.
However, if you insist on watch these games then you probably want to know who you should root for. For you gluttons for punishment I present this guide to your former Brewers in the playoffs and where your rooting interests should lie. Good luck and Godspeed. Read the rest of this entry »

How to Select
How to shop for Faucets
Choosing a faucet is often a question of combining style with practicality. Faucets are the most visible part of any plumbing system. They protrude from above the sink or basin and with a quick twist will release cold or hot water. They serve a vital role in washing hands and dishes. Imagine if whenever you wished to do the dishes a hosepipe or bucket was needed to provide the water.
Besides the practical aspect faucets also add a level of style and individuality. Faucets differ depending on their location in the home, office or industrial space. Each faucet should be selected for either its ability to meet the demands of the user both stylistically and functionally.
When choosing a faucet it is useful to consider the following factors:
- Use. The faucet may be placed in one of several locations. Bathrooms, kitchens and work areas all need faucets. However a faucet will a bucket attachment would look out of place in a bathroom and elegant chrome finished faucets would be inappropriate and a costly addition to most workrooms.
- Environment. Busy industrial kitchens are more likely to need faucets that come with spray attachments. Whereas in the tranquil haven of the bathroom a faucet with a touch of luxury of style is likely be better suited. Individual tastes must be factored into any decision.
- Material. Faucets are available in a variety of materials and finishes to match or complement the environment. Faucets can be chosen in black, brass, bronze, brushed nickel, chrome, gray, oil rubbed bronze, stainless steel and white.
- Features. The modern faucet has evolved beyond a simple valve device. Flow control options now ensure constant pressure and remove the risk of scalding. Motion sensing faucets offer hands-free operation and increased levels of hygiene.

Post subject: The Canadian Election
Most of the forum quietly asks themselves, what? The Canadians are having an election too? Pffft, copycats!
Anyhow, I know there are a few of you out there, and if you're interested... let's discuss! I'm hopefully going to have the internet back in a few days so I can actually HAVE a discussion. Hopefully.
But onto business. I haven't decided whether I'm voting NDP or Green Party yet. Normally I just go with the NDP, but I'm wavering a little this year. Mostly just cause I don't really care for Layton all that much. The Liberals and the Conservatives just aren't options for me. (Although I WAS very impressed by Harper immediately banning any bottle with BPA in it before there was an official Health Canada ruling, which generally takes months if not years to do. It's ALWAYS better safe than sorry, especially with infants.) The Liberals never actually DO anything and, as far as I'm concerned, they just stole the Green Party's platform this year. Meh!
Also! Did you know that the parties actually get $1.75 for each vote received now? It doesn't sound like much, but it REALLY adds up when you think about it. I think it's an excellent way for voters to feel like their votes really do count and to encourage people to vote for the smaller parties, if that's indeed where their sympathies lie, and not vote for the bigger ones so that "their vote isn't wasted".
(you have to scroll down to almost the bottom to see the relevant entry.
Anyhow... any other thoughts?

I'll second that request for more info.
I'm vaguely familiar with the parties involved -- you've got:
the Bloc Québécois party, who are basically separatist about Quebec
the Conservative party, who are roughly similar to Republicans
the Liberal Party, which is more or less mainstream
the New Democratic Party, which is further to the left
and the Green Party, which is about as far left as you can go in Canada without wandering off into the Pacific Ocean
That's about all I know, though, and I'm none too sure it's accurate. And i have no idea who's running against whom on what issues.

My boy says he's going to vote for the Tories, which I think are the conservatives. He actually says the conservatives in Canada are more like the Democrats here, and everything else is more progressively to the left. Also you guys apparently vote for a party, not a leader, which seems a little strange after all of our personal attacks. ^^

As so often
Wikipedia is your friend
What Canadians will be voting for this year are the members of their House of Commons (eqivalent to the House of Representatives in the US). The HoC wil then proceed to elect a new Prime Minister (a position that doesn't exist in the US, or rather the job of Prime Minister is absorbed into the position of the President).
Technically, the people are electing individuals, rather than parties. But these individuals are different in each constituency, so there's no national campaigning for any single candidate throughout the entire country.
And the final decision who will become the new Prime Minister depends on the new distribution of seats among the political parties. That is why many voters will think in terms of voting for a party, rather than a candidate.
Presidential elections like those in the US never happen in Canada, because the formal Head of State is the Monarch, and thus is not elected.

Stephen Harper needs to be kicked out in my opinion. Sure, it looks like Canada flourished under his leadership - and for a couple years, I was quite impressed with Canada under a Conservative leadership. It DID seem to work well, and a lot got done. But we had a minority government in place, which prevented Harper from doing a lot of the things which would have put us in Bush's back pocket. My dad works for the government and has done a few international conferences over the years, and he says that Canada's reputation abroad has taken a hit. In respect to the environment, it appears to the rest of the world that we don't care. We dropped out of Kyoto, and have attempted to block several motions at reducing pollutions at different summits. This included CHOGM in Uganda - where Stephen Harper chose to instead stay in Kenya each night and fly into Kampala. This was a waste of taxpayer money, and an insult not only to the Canadians (friends of mine) who were involved in the event planning, but to Kampala itself, which was basically rebuilt so that the politicians could have appropriate quarters to stay.
His new platform in regards to tougher sentences on youths made me scratch my head. I feel that he is creating fear among people about crime, and if there's one thing I don't think belongs in politics, it's fishing for votes by eliciting knee-jerk, emotional reactions from the public. I've heard conservatives use sentences like "the elderly should not have to worry about being beaten by youths". What I'd really like to know are the statistics. I live in BC, and I hear that youth violence is more of a problem on the prairies, so it could be that I don't care for this issue because it just isn't an issue where I live. But even then, I fail to see how increasing sentences is supposed to deter crime. If Harper was really interested in stopping crime he'd address the factors causing it.
Jack Layton - the man who turned me off the NDP. I had high hopes for the party when he was elected leader. I really, really liked him at first. But after 3 years of Layton in parliament whining and pointing of fingers, I find him to be ineffective. I think he'd rather blame everyone than come up with solutions. He does not strike me as being very intelligent. I do like a lot of ideas in the the NDP platform, but Layton would not be a good leader in my opinion.
Stephane Dion - I was turned off the liberals when Paul Martin was leader, and was prepared to dismiss Stephane Dion. And then he came and spoke at my school, and he seems like an incredibly well-spoken, logical politician (yes, I just used those three words in one sentence, I'm stunned too). He's lifted his platform from the Green Party, and he's pushed environment to the forefront, but he's looking at environment in relation to health care and the economy, which often, surprisingly, seems to get ignored when people talk about going green.
Green Party - My safest bet when I want my vote to do the least harm. I actually think that in this case, a liberal-green alliance would be awesome for Canada.
Ultimately, I would like to see Dion as PM. However, I have to vote for a local representative instead, which means I have to figure out which is more important - voting for a party at the national level, or voting at the local level. I think Green will end up getting my vote. I'm not up to date on our local MPs, but the NDPs already have the vote in the bag for our area anyways. As the Lady said, parties are getting $1.75 per vote, so I think I'll vote Green. I think it's a fantastic idea - instead of having my vote wasted because I did not vote with the majority of people in my riding, I get to support a fledgling party!

I have to admit that I don't vote locally at all - I couldn't care less who the actual person is that's running in my riding. MP's just never seems to make much a of difference locally, so I vote with the party instead. I'm sure there are instances where this isn't the case, but generally... I think it's so.
I'd be more inclined to care about who my MPP is individually than the MP (Member of Provincial Parliment and just plain ol' Parliment [federal], for all you non-canucks).
I agree with PCP, that the only reason that Harper has come out looking good at all is because of the minority government. It forced him to comprimise and choose his battles. Personally, I'd be delighted to see yet another minority government - they seem to represent the true idea of democracy to me. Having one party have all the power to do whatever they want? What's so hot about that?

I would have went with NDP...but there is a new Party that has really caught my eye this year, the
First Peoples National Party
(FPNP). I really believe this is a big step for the native community because their voice is getting more and more heard. I don't think my vote will count anywhere else anyway.
Agh, too much to say why, because it's more than just what I wrote there...

I expected there to be more of a turn out here, though, after the little fiasco that is still happening on my post.

@Lady: I find Canadian politics
, I just don't know what to
. Not only am I woefully under informed as to party politics, I don't even know the system of election very well in Canada. Not to mention, well, I'm not Canadian. ^^;
@Devil: Well, I don't think your thread was a "fiasco". I thought it was a well-structured discussion about politics, and went for several pages before going off topic. Considering we normally go off topic within five posts, that's pretty impressive. And considering this is the internet, and nobody got all fired up and angry, it's doubly impressive.

Mower works great for my medium-sized yard. Especially like the stay open feature for removing and replacing bagger. Mower starts easily and works great.

Great Deal on a great product
Norco, CA
I gifted my husband with this lawnmower to replace an old one had for 12 years (which still worked fine, but wasn't self-propelled). After 1.5 years of routine use around the house, this lawnmower didn't start up! Turns out the carborator went bad and the self-propelled cable snapped! I had purchased warranty, and I'm happy I did! Or, it would've been $460 down the drain! Still haven't used it since we got it back from repairs, but hoping it will work without any further problems. One last thing, my husband complains it's a bit too heavy. ;/

The rear wheel drive is much easier to use on St. Augustine than the front wheel drive models. The wheel height adjustment is greatly improved and is very easy to use.
Lincoln, NE
via sears.com
The mower has worked well so far. I second a few reviewers in that I wish the drive wheels DID NOT lock up so much. You typically have to let off the drive 10 feet from where you'll need to spin around to make it easier, but the power for both cutting and driving is nice. It handles the thick grass and few slopes in my South Carolina lawn very well. Hopefully the drive belt gets broken in soon and the wheel lock ceases and it'll be an even better mower!

I live in a hilly and un level area. This Lawn Mower is my second. It that's a beating and keeps on going! It is very dependable and I treat it good! Every year I get a tune up and sharpen the blade. It easy easy for a 65 year old woman to push since it has rear drive self propellant!
Colorado Springs, CO

More then I expected. Starts every time on the first pull. Propel handle on both side makes it easy to mow next to my trees and bushes. So easy to use that my teens like to use it and don*t mind mowing.

The Hawks won their sixth game in a row by defeating the Leland High School Cubs 66-58 in the championship game of the Delta Valley Conference Boys Basketball Tournament at West Bolivar Middle School. The Hawks improved to 14-4.
The Hawks played great team basketball as four players scored in double-figures, while five players pulled down five or more rebounds.
Shaw High head coach Anthony Davis is pleased with the overall make-up of his team.
"Right now, the guys are playing pretty well," Davis said. "They're starting to believe in each other. They're playing great defense and great team basketball. Regardless on any given night, you've got any one of those guys that could score 20 points a game. When they're not scoring, they are still contributing some kind of way."
Andre Pruitt led the Hawks' offense with 20 points and 12 rebounds, while Octavious Stimage played a great defensive game by pulling down 15 rebounds (14 defensive) while grabbing four steals. He also dished out six assists and finished the game with six points.
Zedric Bass aided the Hawks' effort with 11 points, eight rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot, followed by Jermarquis Stimage with 16 points, three rebounds and two steals, Ledavious Rice with 11 points, seven rebounds and four steals and Demerrius Williams with five rebounds and two steals.
In girls action, Coahoma County won the DVC title game by defeating Leflore County.
Shaw will return to the basketball court tonight as the team hosts Coffeeville at Tommy Gunn Gymnasium in Shaw.

BVG/BGS seem to have high standards and could be a very good grading service but they had to get greedy and form the bccg and totally change the standards to which a card is graded. BCCG sucks!!!! The most respected service in my opinion is PSA. The only cards I will let BGS/BVG grade are my autographed cards. They have the best grading system for that type card because they grade card and auto. SGC is also very good if you can deal with that crap holder in which they seal the card. I never thought I would be saying that I recommend PSA but I do. They understand collectors, Beckett has lost touch. When getting your card graded by psa you can instantly find it on the population report, I have cards BVG/BGS has graded that I still can't find on this crappy population report. To be exact, I have bought about 8 boxing cards and BGS/BVG doesn't even have a boxing category in the population report. This makes me a little uneasy, they are willing to grade the cards but not willing to accommodate the collector.

Cleaning the surface with a paper towel can even scratch the surface. The holder (if you are careful and take your time) can be easily pried open with a very thin flat tip screwdriver. Finally, the aesthetics of the look and design are crappy and including the type print (font) in my opinion. I agree that PSA does a good job of accommodating the collector with a robust registry and pop report, but I do not like the attractiveness of their holder as well.
