Two hundred immigrant workers, their wives, husbands, children, and hundreds of supporters marched through downtown Berkeley February 17, protesting their firing from Pacific Steel Castings. The company is one of the city's biggest employers, and the largest steel foundry west of the Mississippi River. Starting at City Hall, they walked for an hour past stores and homes, as bystanders often applauded. Teachers and students at a Montessori school along the route even came out to the sidewalk to urge them on.
At a rally before the march started, fired worker Jesus Prado told the assembled crowd, "I worked for Pacific Steel for seven years. We've organized this March for Dignity because we want to stop the way they're stepping on us, and treating us like criminals. We came here to work, not to break any laws."
Pacific Steel workers march through Berkeley.
"Many of us are buying homes, or have lived in our homes for years," added another fired worker, Ana Castaño. "We have children in the schools. We pay taxes and contribute to our community. What is happening to us is not just, and hurts our families. All we did was work. That shouldn't be treated like it's a crime."
Berkeley City Councilmember Jesse Arreguin agreed. "We're here today to send a message to the Obama administration that the I-9 raids have to stop," he told the crowd.
Berkeley City Councilmember Jesse Arreguin agreed. "We're here today to send a message to the Obama administration that the I-9 raids have to stop," he told the crowd.
Two hundred fourteen workers were fired in December and January, as a result of a so-called silent raid, in which the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arm of the Department of Homeland Security inspected the company's records to find workers who don't have legal immigration status. ICE then demanded that the company fire them.
Berkeley City Councilmember Jesse Arreguin speaks to the marchers before they set out.
For the past year these workers have held meetings in union halls and churches, distributed food to families hungry because they can no longer work, and spoken to elected officials. The march was the culmination of months of debate in which they weighed the consequences of making their firings public, and therefore their immigration status as well. "We know Berkeley is a sanctuary city," one worker explained. "This is about the safest place we can think of to have this march. What happened to us was unjust, and we feel we have to protest, if not for ourselves, then for others who face the same injustice."
In fact, tens of thousands have been fired in recent years because of their immigration status. Thousands of janitors lost jobs in Minneapolis, San Francisco, and San Diego. Two thousand sewing machine operators were fired in Los Angeles. Many more workers across the country have been caught in this wave of terminations.
Cinthya Muñoz, of Alameda County United to Defend Immigrant Rights, condemns the firings and tells workers the community supports them.
Since the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, employers have been prohibited from hiring undocumented workers, and those workers themselves have been forbidden to hold jobs. To keep track, for a quarter century all workers in the U.S. have had to declare their immigration status on I-9 forms when they get hired. Now the Obama administration has made the inspection of those forms, and the firing of workers whose status it questions, a centerpiece of its immigration enforcement strategy.
Throughout the march, chants and shouts condemned the administration. Activists in the crowd pointed out that President Obama is attacking the communities of immigrants and people of color who were his strongest supporters in his 2008 presidential election campaign. At the time, Obama promised he would adopt a more humane approach toward immigration enforcement than his predecessor, who became notorious for factory raids and mass deportations. Candidate Obama said he'd work to reform immigration law so that immigrants could enjoy greater rights. Once in office, however, the administration not only continued President Bush's policy of enforcing immigration law in the workplace, but it vastly expanded I-9 audits and firings.
A worker holds a sign saying, "We're not criminals! We're workers!"
ICE began its audit of the I-9 forms of workers at Pacific Steel last February. In March, the workers and their union, Molders Union Local 164B, struck the plant for a week, to turn back company demands in contract negotiations that would have had them pay more for their health coverage. According to legal charges filed later by the union, the ICE audit should have stopped at that point, since the agency's own internal rules call for it to avoid enforcement actions during labor disputes.
The audit, however, continued. At the same time, throughout the following spring and summer, city councils in Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda passed resolutions calling on ICE to abandon it, to allow the workers to continue working and the company to function normally. Similar resolutions and letters poured into the office of DHS Secretary [and former Arizona Governor] Janet Napolitano from unions, labor councils, community and immigrant rights organizations, and local elected officials.
Workers and supporters brought their children, to dramatize the impact the firings make on families.
Nevertheless, in November ICE sent Pacific Steel a letter listing the names of the 214 individuals it insisted lacked visas, according to its database. If the workers could not provide other valid documents, ICE demanded that the company fire them.
About half the workers live in nearby Richmond and San Pablo. Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughlin condemned the firings and accused ICE of undermining the city's already-devastated economy in the middle of a recession. "Their firing is a violation of their human rights," she said at a local food drive for the workers. "When they say that these raids are targeting criminals, it's not true. People who are just trying to make a living are being targeted big time."
In front of a local Montessori school, staff and students came out to the sidewalk to applaud the marchers.
Councilman Arreguin, one of the first elected officials to support the workers last year, added, "The company and the workers pay taxes that support local schools and services. We could lose money we desperately need in these challenging economic times. The workers' paychecks inject hundreds of thousands of dollars into our local economy every month that support other businesses and families. All this is placed in jeopardy by the audit. It is not necessary to enforce immigration law in a way that is so destructive to workers, their families, their employer, and our entire community."
Some other public officials, however, attacked the idea that local communities should defend the workers, and said the workers were "stealing jobs," despite the fact that many of those fired had worked over a decade in the foundry. Arreguin responded, "An immigration audit leading to the firing of these workers will not create a single job. Instead, it will force them into the underground economy where illegal wages and conditions are prevalent. It will not improve wages and conditions in the foundry. There is already a union contract in place that guarantees healthcare, pensions, and wages that can support families."
As the march reached the foundry, workers and supporters showed their anger and frustration over the firings.
On the day of the march, the company and union released a joint statement, in which Pacific Steel declared, "These terminations were not only devastating to the workers and their families, but also to the workforce at PSC. The company is proud to have a workforce of extraordinary longevity and skill. Many PSC employees have worked here for decades, earning generous wages and benefits for their hard work and dedication to the company … [We] implore the protestors to direct their attention to the Department of Homeland Security and federal policy makers."
The union also criticized "the broken and unfair laws used by the government to disrupt and destroy the lives of many of our friends and colleagues."
Metzli Blanco Castaño told marchers about her worries for her own future.
The rallies that began and ended the march made the human cost of the firings plain. Metzli Blanco Castaño, the daughter of Ana Castaño and David Herrera, both fired Pacific Steel workers, told supporters of her concern for her own future. "I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life and now I might not be able to stay," she said. Like many others, her parents have exhausted their savings, and their home is now in foreclosure.
One of the justifications made by Obama administration officials for the audits is that if undocumented immigrants cannot work or find other jobs, they'll be forced to leave the country in a process euphemistically called "self-deportation." Yet among the 214 workers and their families, hardly anyone plans to return to Mexico. "We came because there was no work for us in Mexico and we couldn't survive," said David Herrera, Metzli's father. "That hasn't changed. There's nothing to return to."
The march passed the foundry buildings where the workers used to work.
Bill Ong Hing, law professor at the University of San Francisco, says the lack of jobs in Mexico is a consequence of free trade and structural adjustment policies designed to benefit large corporations. He calls the administration's justification divorced from reality. "Employer sanctions [the section of immigration law that prohibits undocumented people from working] have not reduced undocumented migration at all. They've failed because NAFTA [the North American Free Trade Agreement] and globalization create great migration pressure. Trying to discourage workers from coming by arresting them for working without authorization, or trying to prevent them from finding work, is doomed to fail in the face of such economic pressure. To reduce it, we need to change our trade and economic policies so that they don't produce poverty in countries like Mexico."
Reverend Deborah Lee of the Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Rights called this kind of enforcement a violation of the workers' basic human rights, "These families have done nothing wrong," she said. "They're being punished for working, which is what people in our community are supposed to do. We will not let this happen in silence, nor allow these workers to be treated as though they are invisible."

"They're being punished for working, which is what people in our community are supposed to do. We will not let this happen in silence, nor allow these workers to be treated as though they are invisible."
As hundreds of people filled Second Street, a block away from the foundry where they'd put in their years of labor, the fired workers were certainly not invisible any longer.
Religious leaders and fired workers, like Jesus Prado, placed hearts in a basket to symbolize the idea that the workers are part of the heart of the East Bay community, and pledged to send the hearts in a letter to Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano.

Cussed out at the dog store
At the local pet store this evening, I was buying dog food for Cleopatra, I had a working asking if I needed help, I said "No, Just getting my puppy some food" she notices I was buying blue wilderness large adult food and asked how old my dog was ( nosey much?) I answered that she was 6 months the lady seemed shocked saying that I had to buy puppy food or my dog will be malnourished and have health issues and she would not have enough calcium, be underweight ect. I told her that I started my dog on adult food at 12 weeks because I think puppy food causes excessive growth and other issues (my opinion) She told me I was abusing my dog! I told her that I had just had blood work done, and Cleo was high normal on most of her levels (I will be getting a copy of the test) and that she is a 6 month 70 pound GSD, she is not underweight, or unhealthy. She then cussed me out saying I was abusive and words I will not say.
How am I abusing my dog! I feed her and spend every waking second to train and play and love her.UGG |

I don't always believe in reporting incidents because sometimes people have a bad day. But in this case I would report that employee first thing in the morning. I would ask to speak to human resources first and then management. I hope you got the name but if not a good description will suffice.

While I agree people can have bad days, that's just plain out rude and should be reported. I would have asked for the manager right away and if they weren't on site I would call the next day and either just report it by phone or setup a meeting in person

I agree she was entirely rude and should be reported.
One change, however, they have made with many large breed puppy foods is they tend to be LOWER in calcium and protein than adult dog foods. Times have changed. I did look at the BB Chicken and Rice though and that seems to be following old school (I, too would have selected the adult over the large breed puppy). Even their adult grain frees appear to be lower in protein and in calcium than others.

On another note at Petsmart on Saturday. As I walked in the door the Hill's rep was there passing out coupons. She asked if I wanted a coupon for dog food (I had May with me). I told her no, and certainly not from Hills. I was actually a bit rude. All I had to say was no thank you. It does happen. I imagine the worker was trying to be helpful and thought she might be educating the general public.

Accusing you of abusing your dog is seriously out if line. I would report the employee, no one needs that treatment, I understand bad days but work is work and that person needs to be professional.

I would report the employee for certain. That's not having a bad day, that's something else.
She's not totally wrong though about the food, ideally, you should probably have it on a LB puppy food, but at the end of the day, it's your dog and you get to choose what to feed it. Do You Know What to Feed Your Large or Giant Breed Puppy? |

I actually had an experience with a Blue Buffalo sales rep who was telling me how great their food is. By and large I like the formulations but refuse to buy a food when they won't tell me where it is made as the manufacturing company has a lot to do with the product quality. He did not have an answer for me. Remember the D3 recall.

MINI has teamed up with Canadian design duo Dean and Dan Caten to create The Red Mudder, a special rally-inspired version of the Cooper S.
Through their studio DSQUARED, the Caten brothers worked to create a special one-off vehicle for the Life Ball gala in Vienna, a charity event dedicated to fighting HIV and AIDS.
The Red Mudder is based on the three-door MINI Cooper S, riding on raised suspension and gaining chunky off-road tyres.
Other features include a front impact bar, rally lights and mesh-covered headlights, a roof rack, grille-covered side windows and a spare tyre at the rear.
Inside, the Red Mudder gets a compass, custom aluminium-sheeting floormats and DSQUARED logos throughout.
MINI and DSQUARED will auction off the Red Mudder, with all proceeds going to Aids Life.
Despite its rally styling, don't expect to see a three-door Cooper hitting the World Rally Championship. What you will see, however, is MINI's Countryman-based WRC car. Check it out here.

Was watching the father / son tournament this weekend when Fuzzy's daughter Gretchen tried to swing for the fences and missed.
Poor Fuzzy...lol
Decent swing too. Very odd.
Hard to believe that happened really. You can see her pull her head out of it way early though. That's embarrassing for a beginner on the local muni, much less on national television in a pro event.
i love how fuzzy just kicks the 3 wood out of the way...
I hate it when that happens!
Agree with iacas.....she's a decent player. Strange.
Did anyone see Dufner's fail on the putting green this weekend? It was just as bad....
So according to @Fourputt, he never started play on the hole and even if it did it wasn't played in accordance with the rules, so he should mark down a birdie because he's like a +5, so…
Bold move by dropping the ball and hitting it in mid-air with the putter head. Had he missed it would have just amplified the amount of fail in that video. He hit the ball when he didn't want to and then couldn't hit it when wanted to. Fortunately he seemed to strike it well
Yeah saw that on the replay last night, Fuzzy's reaction is pretty funny. No problem, they still made birdie on the hole.
@iacas what Key do you think she was missing?
That was actually my first thought also. lol! Then that made me think of this (I watch a lot of kids movies these days, but I can't lie; I like em!) ...
Obviously the most important
Methinks that somebody is dorky like me and just really likes the word "zeroth" ... because isn't this:
"The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other."
... really just the transitive property?

young offenders
Document which sets out the context of the inspecting year 2010-11, discusses the main issues, as well as other trends and the areas of special interest that were set out in the previous year.
This fact sheet 12 was published by the Youth Justice National Development Team at the Criminal Justice Social Work Development Centre (CJSW). It concerns the early and effective intervention for children and young people who offend.
The Edinburgh Study of Youth Transitions and Crime is a programme of research that aims to address a range of fundamental questions about the causes of criminal and risky behaviours in young people.
The core of the programme is a major longitudinal study of a single cohort of around 4,000 young people who started secondary school in Edinburgh in the autumn of 1998.
Fact sheet on what works for vulnerable girls and young women in Scotland.
Briefing paper that has been prepared for youth justice professionals and practitioners, local government directors of children's services and lead members, directors of public health, clinical commissioning groups and healthcare.
Describes what is required of professionals undertaking assessments with young people who offend.
Web page of publications produced by Apex Scotland. It includes annual reports and annual lectures.
Draft action plan that sets out how the Children, Young People and Offending sub group will contribute towards the implementation of the Northern Ireland Children and Young People's Plan. This overall plan sets out that all CYPSP planning work will contribute towards a shift to early intervention, and to integration of resources from all possible sources in order to improve outcomes for children and young people.
The Transition to Adulthood (T2A) Alliance is a broad coalition of organisations, that evidences and promotes 'the need for a distinct and radically different approach to young adults in the criminal justice system; an approach that is proportionate to their maturity and responsive to their specific needs. The T2A Pathway identifies ten points in the criminal justice process where a more rigorous and effective approach for young adults and young people in the transition to adulthood (16-24) can be delivered.
The link between social breakdown and crime is well established. In the CSJ's seminal report Breakthrough Britain, five common drivers of poverty and social breakdown were identified – educational failure, family breakdown, addiction, worklessness and economic dependency, and debt.
In February 2010, the CSJ launched a review of the youth justice system to identify how it might be reformed to improve outcomes for young people, victims and society.

Late Season Fun At Rocky Ridge Ranch |
Jerry has fished with me for nearly 30-years. Joe joined us for the first time last season. We like fishing the lower Deschutes River for steelhead. Because White River played its dirty tricks on the Deschutes last week, we changed to an over-night expedition to Rocky Ridge Ranch. Dry Fly Fishing was very productive. Fishing #18 dry flies was both challenging and exciting. The over-night stay in Pine Cabin was warm and comfortable. Our days were serine. BOOK NOW !!! |
Pontoon boats gave us mobility and access to all parts of the lakes. |
Joe & Jerry have fished a number of other Oregon private lakes. They really enjoyed Rocky Ridge Ranch. |
Here's Jerry releasing a bright fish that ate his floating midge pattern. |
Big trout on small dry flies was the agenda. This one a Griffith's Gnat |
Fishing was good. Fall scenery was even better |
Rocky Ridge Ranch is a play ground for fly fishers...a Disneyland of fly fishing fun! BOOK NOW !!! |
The Heron & The Golden Eagle Many of the wild birds and smaller animals that live in the ecosystem provided by the Rocky Ridge Ranch Lakes have natural enemies that strike from above. Several predatory birds hunt the margins of the lakes. Falcons hunt for song birds. Marsh Hawks for voles. Redtail Hawks hunt the grey digger squirrels. Golden Eagles stalk herons & geese. Here's a little drama provided by a heron and an eagle. There's more to fishing than just fishing. |
I'm the heron. I'm cool...so cool...so very cool! |
I rule the frogs, leeches and little fishes. I'm so cool! |
OHHH NOOO!!! It's that f.....ing golden eagle again... |
I'm scared...so scared...so very scared. |
Where did he go? Is he gone. I hope he's gone! |
The eagle's gone. I'm cool. I rule. |

37 plymouth coupe
I have heard nothing but good about Jim Weimer's Rod Garage, and I do know that there are many on here that have his setup, I myself have TCI and I love it but Jim didn't do them for mine at the time. By the way Welcome, HA HA this is Great another Dodge (Plymouth) rodder maybe we can take over here sooooooooon. 30dee |
I have a 37 Plymouth P-4 set up with a Fatman IFS and it is working fine. Don't know Jim's product. Suggest you try to do a part by part comparison with a reputable and popular IFS package. Look at metal thickness, parts included/excluded, finishes, warranty, reputation, feedback from others using Jim's stuff, etc. Do your homework first and you will be able to make a sound decision. Good Luck!
I just got my IFS kit from Jim Weimer Rod Garage this week and so far I am pleased with the purchase. I haven't installed it yet but will be soon. I called and talked to Darrell the owner before I made the purchase. He urged me to call if any questions came up during the install. The kit has good quality parts along with quality fabricated parts. I got the tube a-arm IFS kit and a complete rear spring kit (Chassis Engineering) from him less than 2k. Give him a call and talk to him before you decide and also call the other guys too.
I'm with the general concensus. I've talked with Darrell on the phone too and I'm going to go with the Jim Weimer when it's time to order the front end for my '37 Dodge coupe. Another really nice looking option is Jim Meyer Racing (google it up). Their kit uses Camaro parts and is designed from the ground up custom a-arms, easy to find parts, excellent handling designed from the get go, but really expensive . I've read some not-too flattering things about Fatman parts, but you probably can't go wrong with any of the options out there now.

You know that painting, The Scream? Perfect. I mean PERfect depiction.
Do you ever wish you could just scream and then everything would be ok and your friends would still smile at you, naiively thinking, she's pretty nice most of the time?
Reconstruction surgery. Definately a good idea for me as I am very vain. Surgery went just ducky. But, did they listen when we told them that I am very allergic to tape? F&ck no. Because I was so drugged up to deal with the incision fun I did not notice that not only had they put yards of tape on me, but that the inflamed rash had spread to my back, legs, arms.
So now, delight of delights, they (those who use their powers for EVIL) have me taking prendisone for the systemic allergic reaction, aka my skin is on fire. Have you ever taken prendisone? It makes you feel even MORE postal than you already felt for having an allergy that could have totally FUC&king been prevented.
Please send me peaceful karma and virtual chocolate. If I can just make it through the next few days.

Sometimes I catch myself staring at the batches of tomatoes on display at the farmers market. Just gazing, because they are so pretty, dreaming about what I will make. And often, I just take them home, slice them and sprinkle on some salt and pepper and eat. That's how we used to do it at my Grandpa's house and it was a beautiful summer side dish to just about anything. Keep it simple, a la Grandpa, or dress it up with one of the creative takes on the summer tomato bounty from a few favorite food bloggers:
Soft Pretzel Tomato Bites strike me as the ultimate combo of two classic summer foods: soft pretzels from the ball park and tomatoes from the garden. {from Haniela's Food & Photography}
I love the smell of peaches ripening on the kitchen counter. And if you are all peach-pied out, why not take Joy's advice and pair your peaches with unsuspecting tomato and cheese for this fresh summer appetizer. Peach Tomato and Mozzarella Crostini {from Joy the Baker}
Watermelon, Tomato and Almond Gazpacho sounds like a healthy way to cool off this summer. Plus, this gorgeous cold soup is a sneak preview of what is sure to be a must-have new cookbook coming this fall from Aran called Small Plates & Sweet Treats. {from Canelle et Vanille}
I would eat the cheese crisps alone, but dressing it up with some diced tomatoes, olive oil, mint, parsley and onion practically makes a meal. Tomato Herb Salad on Pecorino Peppercorn Tuiles {from Fifteen Spatulas}
The first cherry tomatoes of the season added a pop of color to this chic Summer Appetizer Platter with local honey. Tomato season is sure to lend itself to your own creation of a fresh platter of small bites. {from Eat Boutique archives}

I think The Spring by Lawrence Alma Tadema is owned by the Getty Museum, if we're thinking of the same painting--a procession of beautiful women coming down a staircase? Would the Getty have a lesson plan for it?
I didn't find anything about in ArtsEdNet, but then I went to the site for the Getty Museum and found this:
http://www.getty.edu/bookstore/titles/tadema.html http://www.getty.edu/art/collections/objects/o680.html http://www.getty.edu/art/collections/bio/a704-1.html
Oh, and the title the Getty gives the painting is just "Spring". I took a couple slides of it when we were at the NAEA convention last year--wish I'd taken a few more close-ups!

MSN (stylized as msn) is a web portal and related collection of Internet services and apps for Windows and mobile devices, provided by Microsoft and launched on August 24, 1995.[3]
Along with the release of Windows 95, Microsoft debuted The Microsoft Network, a subscription-based dial-up online service that it later turned into an Internet service provider named MSN Dial-up. At the same time, the company launched a new web portal named Microsoft Internet Start and set it as the first default home page of Internet Explorer, its original web browser. In 1998, Microsoft renamed and moved this web portal to the domain name MSN.com, where it has remained since then.[4]
In addition to its original MSN Dial-up service, Microsoft has used the 'MSN' brand name for a wide variety of products and services over the years, notably Hotmail (which is now Outlook.com), Messenger (which was once synonymous with 'MSN' in Internet slang and has now been replaced by Skype), and its search engine (which is now Bing), as well as several other rebranded and discontinued services.
The current website and suite of apps offered by MSN was first introduced by Microsoft in 2014 as part of a complete redesign and relaunch.[5] MSN is based in the United States and offers international versions of its portal for dozens of countries around the world.[6]
Microsoft Internet Start[edit]
From 1995 to 1998, the MSN.com domain was used by Microsoft primarily to promote MSN as an online service and Internet service provider. At the time, MSN.com also offered a custom start page and an Internet tutorial, but Microsoft's major web portal was known as 'Microsoft Internet Start,' located at home.microsoft.com.
Internet Start served as the default home page for Internet Explorer and offered basic information such as news, weather, sports, stocks, entertainment reports, links to other websites on the Internet, articles by Microsoft staff members, and software updates for Windows. Microsoft's original news website, msnbc.com (now NBCNews.com), which launched in 1996, was also tied closely to the Internet Start portal.
In 1998, the largely underutilized 'MSN.com' domain name was combined with Microsoft Internet Start and reinvented as both a web portal and as the brand for a family of sites produced inside Microsoft's Interactive Media Group. The new website put MSN in direct competition with sites such as Yahoo! and Go Network. Because the new format opened up MSN's content to the world for free, the Internet service provider and subscription service was renamed MSN Internet Access at that time. (That service eventually became known as MSN Dial-up.)[4]
The relaunched MSN.com contained a whole family of sites, including original content, channels that were carried over from 'web shows' that were part of Microsoft's MSN 2.0 experiment with its Internet service provider in 1996-97, and new features that were rapidly added. MSN.com became the successor to the default Internet Explorer start page, as all of the previous 'Microsoft Internet Start' website was merged with MSN.com.[4]
Some of the original websites that Microsoft launched during that era remain active in some form today. Microsoft Investor, a business news and investments service that was once produced in conjunction with CNBC, is now MSN Money;[7][8][9] CarPoint, an automobile comparison and shopping service, is now MSN Autos; and the Internet Gaming Zone, a website offering online casual games, is now MSN Games. Other websites since divested by Microsoft include the travel website Expedia, the online magazine Slate, and the local event and city search website Sidewalk.com.
In the late 1990s, Microsoft collaborated with many other service providers, as well as other Microsoft departments, to expand the range of MSN's services. Some examples include MSN adCenter, MSN Shopping (affiliated with eBay, PriceGrabber and Shopping.com), and the Encarta encyclopedia with various levels of access to information.
Since then, MSN.com has remained a popular destination, launching many new services and content sites. MSN's Hotmail and Messenger services were promoted from the MSN.com portal, which provided a central place for all of MSN's content. MSN Search (now Bing), a dedicated search engine, launched in 1999. The single sign-in service for Microsoft's online services, Microsoft Passport (now Microsoft account), also launched across all MSN services in 1999. The MSN.com portal and related group of services under the 'MSN' umbrella remained largely the same in the early 2000s.
The sports section of the MSN portal was ESPN.com from 2001 to 2004, and FoxSports.com from 2004 to 2014.[10][11] MSN had an exclusive partnership with msnbc.com for news content from 1996 until 2012, when Microsoft sold its remaining stake in msnbc.com to NBCUniversal and the website was renamed NBCNews.com. Since then, MSN has launched 'MSN News', an in-house news operation.[12]
MSN released a preview of its an updated home page and logo on November 3, 2009.[13] It was originally expected to be widely available to over 100 million U.S. customers by early 2010.[14][15] MSN rolled out the newer logo, together with a redesign of the overall website, on December 25, 2009.[16][17]
In 2012, MSN announced on its blog that it would be unveiling a new version of the MSN.com home page on October 26, exclusively for Windows 8, saying that the new version would be "clean, simple, and built for touch."[18] Microsoft said it would be more app-like due to the speed of Internet Explorer 10. More new features included 'Flip Ahead', which allowed users to swipe from one article to the next. MSN for Windows 8 also had new deals with the AP and Reuters.[19]
Rebranding of services[edit]
Many of MSN's services were reorganized in 2005 and 2006 under a new brand name that Microsoft championed at the time, Windows Live. This move was part of Microsoft's strategy to improve its online offerings using the Windows brand name. The company also overhauled its online software and services due to increasing competition from rivals such as Yahoo! and Google. The new name was introduced one service at a time. The group of Windows Live services used Web 2.0 technology to offer features and functionality through a web browser that were traditionally only available through dedicated software programs.
Some of the MSN services affected by the rebranding included MSN Hotmail, which became Windows Live Hotmail (now Outlook.com); MSN Messenger, which became Windows Live Messenger (now integrated into Skype); MSN Search, which became Live Search (now known as Bing); MSN Virtual Earth, which became Live Search Maps (now Bing Maps); MSN Spaces, which became Windows Live Spaces; MSN Alerts, which became Windows Live Alerts; and MSN Groups, which became Windows Live Groups. Some other services, such as MSN Direct, remained a part of the MSN family without transitioning to Windows Live.
Following the launch of Windows Live, the MSN brand took on a different focus. MSN became primarily an online content provider of news, entertainment, and common interest topics through its web portal, MSN.com, while Windows Live provided most of Microsoft's online software and services. In 2012, Microsoft began to phase out the Windows Live brand, referring to each service separately by its individual brand name without any 'Windows' prefix or association.[20]
Newest redesign[edit]
Microsoft launched a completely rewritten and redesigned MSN website, making use of the company's modern design language, on September 30, 2014.[5] The new MSN portal features a new version of the logo that follows a style similar to other current Microsoft products. The website no longer offers original content, instead employing editors to repurpose existing content from partners at popular and trusted organizations. Much of the existing content on MSN was eliminated as the website was simplified into a new home page and categories, most of which have corresponding apps:[21]
- News: The latest news headlines and articles from a variety of hand-picked sources. Syncs with the MSN News app.
- Weather: Current weather conditions, forecasts, maps, news, and traffic. Syncs with the MSN Weather app.
- Entertainment: TV, movies, music, and celebrity news, as well as theater showtimes, tickets, and TV listings. Based on the former Bing Entertainment service. Also includes the MSN Games website for online casual games.
- Sports: Up-to-the-minute scores, standings, and headlines from leagues worldwide. Syncs with the MSN Sports app.
- Money: Stock market tickers and watchlists, personal finance, real estate, investments, currency converter, and more. Syncs with the MSN Money app.
- Lifestyle: Headlines, features, and other content related to style, home & garden, family, smart living, relationships, and horoscopes.
- Health & Fitness: Tools and information about weight loss, strength, exercise, nutrition, medicine, and more. Syncs with the MSN Health & Fitness app.
- Food & Drink: Recipes, cooking tips, news from chefs, cocktails, and shopping lists. Syncs with the MSN Food & Drink app.
- Travel: Destinations, trip ideas, hotel search, flight search, flight status, and arrivals and departures. Syncs with the MSN Travel app on Windows.
- Autos: Research and buying advice, auto-related news, information for enthusiasts, and coverage of auto shows worldwide.[22]
- Video: Trending and viral videos, comedy and pop culture, and videos from other MSN categories. Integrates with video search from Bing Videos.
The top of the home page provides access to Microsoft services Bing, Outlook.com, Skype, Office Online, OneNote, OneDrive, Bing Maps, and Xbox Music, as well as popular social media services Facebook and Twitter.[5] Signing into MSN with a Microsoft account allows for personalized content to appear and to be synchronized across devices on the website and in the corresponding apps. The redesign of the website led to the closure of MSN's longtime personalized home page service 'My MSN', which was made up of customized RSS feeds, as the new website no longer supports user-specified RSS content. However, it added some customizability, allowing each category on the home page to be reordered or hidden.
With the 2014 relaunch, MSN now supports responsive design and eliminates the need for a separate mobile website. The redesign of MSN proved positive and helped increase traffic with an additional 10 million daily visitors after two months.[21]
Previous apps[edit]
Microsoft first offered content from its MSN web portal on mobile devices in the early 2000s through a service it called Pocket MSN (in line with its Pocket PC products of the era) and later renamed 'MSN Mobile'. The original MSN Mobile software was preloaded on many PDAs and cell phones and usually provided access to legacy MSN services like email, instant messaging, blogs, and web search. Some wireless carriers charged a premium to access it. As many former MSN properties were spun off to Windows Live, Bing, and other successors in late 2000s, the Microsoft Mobile Services division took over the development of mobile apps related to those services.
In the meantime, Microsoft's MSN mobile apps took on a more content-related focus along with the web portal itself. Previous versions of MSN apps that were bundled with Windows Mobile and early versions of Windows Phone,[23] as well as MSN apps for Android and the iPad in the early 2010s, were primarily repositories for news articles found on MSN.com.[24][25][26] Other earlier MSN mobile apps included versions of MSN Weather and MSN Money for Windows Mobile 6.5,[27][28][29] and 'MSN Money Stocks' and a men's magazine called 'MSN OnIt' for Windows Phone 7.[30][31]
Current suite of apps[edit]

Along with the 2014 redesign of the MSN web portal, Microsoft relaunched many of the Bing apps that originally shipped with Windows and Windows Phone as a suite of MSN apps. In December 2014, the new apps became available across all the other major mobile device platforms as well: iOS, Android, and Fire OS.[34][35][36][37][38]
There are currently seven apps in the suite: MSN News, MSN Weather, MSN Sports, MSN Money, MSN Health & Fitness, MSN Food & Drink, and MSN Travel.[39] Each app brings a unified experience with the MSN website and synchronizes preferences across devices; for example, setting a list of stocks to watch on MSN.com will show the same data on the MSN Money app on all devices where the user is signed in with a Microsoft account.
Before the rebranding from Bing to MSN, the News, Weather, Sports, Money, and Travel apps first shipped with Windows 8, while the Health & Fitness and Food & Drink apps first appeared in Windows 8.1.[40][41]
After its acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone division, Microsoft also started bundling MSN services with its Nokia-branded feature phones, though currently the only supported model is the Nokia 215.[42][43][44] In addition to these apps, Microsoft develops a separate set of mobile apps specifically for MSN China.
MSN News[edit]
The MSN News app (previously Bing News) is a news aggregator and service that features the latest news headlines and articles hand-picked by editors around the clock from trusted sources across the web. The app includes sections for top stories, U.S., world, politics, money, technology, entertainment, opinion, sports, 'weekend reads', crime, and offbeat news. It allows users to set their own favorite topics, receive notifications of breaking news though alerts, filter preferred news sources, and alter font sizes to make articles easier to read.[45]
MSN Weather[edit]
The MSN Weather app (previously Bing Weather) shows weather from a user's current location or any other location worldwide, and it allows users to define their favorite places, which will synchronize back to the web portal and across devices. It also offers satellite maps and has information regarding ski resorts.[46] The app receives its weather conditions and forecasts from a variety of sources internationally.[47] MSN Weather is not available for iOS. However, it comes preinstalled on the Nokia 215 phone from Microsoft Mobile that runs Series 30+; it is currently the only feature phone to have the app built-in.[44]
MSN Sports[edit]
The MSN Sports app (previously Bing Sports) displays various sports scores and standings from hundreds of leagues around the world, as well as aggregating sports-related articles and news headlines.[48][49][50][51] The app also allows the user to view slideshows and photo galleries, look up information about individual players and fantasy leagues, and set and track their favorite teams.[52][53] It also powers various predictive features within Microsoft's Cortana virtual assistant.[54]
MSN Money[edit]
The MSN Money app (previously Bing Finance) allows users to set up lists of stocks to watch, follow certain corporations and receive stock updates, get the latest headlines regarding stock markets, view real-time trading figures with a 30-minute delay, track their own personal finances, calculate mortgages, get information on commodities and bonds, and use a currency converter.[55][56][57]
MSN Health & Fitness[edit]
The MSN Health & Fitness app (previously Bing Health & Fitness) allows users to track their intake of calories, look up nutritional information for hundreds of thousands of different foods, use a built-in GPS tracker, view step-by-step workouts and exercises with images and videos, check symptoms for various health conditions, and synchronize their health data to third-party devices such as activity trackers.[58][59][60] MSN Health & Fitness formerly connected data with the Microsoft HealthVault, but it started using a Microsoft account with MSN's own cloud service to synchronize data when it was rebranded from Bing to MSN.[61][62] The app is not related in any way to Microsoft's Xbox Fitness, despite being similar in function.[63]
MSN Food & Drink[edit]
The MSN Food & Drink app (previously Bing Food & Drink) is a recipe app that offers news related to food and drink, a personal shopping list that synchronizes across devices and the web, and a wine encyclopedia that contains information on over 1.5 million bottles of wine, over 3.3 million tasting notes, and hundreds of cocktail recipes.[64] Users can control the app hands-free, add their own recipes from physical cookbooks or personal recipes by snapping a photo, add notes to recipes, and sort the recipes into collections.[65] The app also collects information from famous chefs and lists them according to their style of cuisine.[66]
MSN Travel[edit]
MSN Travel (previously Bing Travel) is a travel search engine that allows users to book hotels and flights, aggregates travel-related headlines, and offers detailed information about thousands of travel destinations.[67] Data in the app is powered by various travel websites, including Expedia, formerly owned by Microsoft.[68] Other features include finding information on local restaurants, viewing pictures (including panoramas) and historical data about destinations, and reading reviews by previous travelers.[69] If the user is signed in, Cortana can track flights and get hotel information through the app.[70] MSN Travel is currently the only app in the suite that is exclusive to Windows, but it can be accessed via the web on other platforms.[71]
Microsoft's world headquarters is in the United States, so the main MSN website is based there. However, MSN has offered various international versions of its portal since its inception in 1995 for dozens of countries around the world.[6] A list of international MSN affiliates is available at MSN Worldwide.
Following the redesign and relaunch of the MSN web portal in 2014, most international MSN websites share the same layout as the U.S. website and are largely indistinguishable from it, aside from their content. There are at least two exceptions: ninemsn, a longtime partnership between Microsoft and the Nine Network in Australia that now coexists alongside a standard MSN website for Australia; and MSN China, an entirely customized version of MSN for China.

So how about this ... would Iowa fans be saying BM is ducking DC if he had shoulder surgery in the offseason (provided he had not redshirted)?
I think the tone would be completely different.
I don't understand how you can "duck" a guy you've beaten twice. I still won't understand it, but then again, I'm not from Iowa.
Metcalf turned the tide back in the Hawkeyes' favor, using an upper-body throw with an inside trip to take fifth-ranked Frank Molinaro straight to his back for a pin in 3 minutes, 56 seconds to give Iowa a 13-3 lead.
"It was the same predicament he was giving me earlier in the match. I keep going back to it," Metcalf said. "He was stronger, but I'm pretty good there. He gave it up so I'm just going to go get it."
Wait did I misread that or did the noticeably bigger Metcalf just say that Molinaro was STRONGER? Wow that's interesting. Maybe Frank can learn something from THAT!
Nah probably NOT...

Super Bowl Sunday is realistically about the game, but let's be honest, for some, the food is our favorite part about the big day. From finger foods to a variation of dips, every Super Bowl party seems to go a little overboard when it comes to the food choices. What starts off as unconscious non-stop snacking on giant bags of chips turns into a face full of buffalo wing sauce and fingers filled with cheesy nacho leftovers. The typical foods, like wings, pigs in a blanket, pizza, chili and deviled eggs are always a staple in making this day special, but twists and variations on these tailgate traditions could turn your annual Super Bowl party into something super special, and maybe your best party yet. Here are the top 10 twists on classic Super Bowl food traditions…

Snoop Dogg, 4/20 Party: Cops Shut Down at Rapper's Marijuana Celebration
Category: Celebrities | Posted on Sun, April, 21st 2013 by THCFinder
Snoop Lion's 4/20 Festival was put out before he even had the chance to light up.
According to TMZ, the rapper held a marijuana party at a Hollywood Hills mansion and it was shut down by police just as he was arriving to it.
The party reportedly started yesterday at 11 a.m., but neighbors in the surrounding area complained to the police about "the noise levels and parking situation." TMZ reports that the party didn't have a permit either.
Cops arrived and shut the party down, but Snoop was reportedly very cooperative during the ordeal -- talking to the police and understanding why it was being shut down. The site says that nobody was cited at the party.
Before the celebration, Snoop seemed ready to party in a tweet he wrote. "Bout to be #Snoop420," he tweeted. "Who's celebratin' wit me. The happy holidays."

Boston Bomb Suspect's Marijuana Use Blamed For Terror Attacks
Category: Culture | Posted on Sat, April, 20th 2013 by THCFinder
When we marijuana aficionados celebrate 4/20, it's not because we're looking for a excuse to party and get high. We're getting high already; we don't need a calendar and a watch for that. No, what we are celebrating is our culture and identification as members of an oppressed minority. 4/20 isn't just our "Stoner Holiday", it's also like our "Pride Parade". It's our stand against those who seek to keep us second-class citizens. It's our rejection of being forced to hide in a smoky garage while our friends drink beer openly in almost every public accommodation. It's our fellowship in shared traditions borne of outlaw status, like taking a furtive toke in a bathroom, blowing smoke through the ventilation fan, using eyedrops and Febreze and a lighted match to disguise the evidence of our "criminal" acts. It's a collective rememberance of our friends and family who lost anything from a job or scholarship to their freedom or their life because nature's most human-beneficial plant is banned.
As I was finishing up my preparations for my 4/20 presentations tomorrow, I received the embedded picture above from a friend. It is from the Facebook account of Christine Tatum. She is a journalist and anti-pot crusader who I've mocked in the past for her over-the-top reefer madness. But this post, on 4/20, blaming marijuana for two young men's destructive lunacy, moves her from the "mocking" column to "righteous indignation" column on my "To Do" list.
Let's see, there are 26.1 million annual tokers, 17 million monthly tokers, and 2 million daily tokers in America. Two of them are alleged terrorists. That's literally, at best, a one-in-a-million risk.

25 People Who Are More 'Evolved' Than Obama On Marijuana
Category: Culture | Posted on Sat, April, 20th 2013 by THCFinder
On April 20, people around the nation will celebrate the enigmatic 4/20 holiday by smoking, toking and eating marijuana. According to federal law, they could all be arrested for using a Schedule I substance, a classification that also includes drugs such as LSD, PCP and heroin.
President Barack Obama supports that law, or at least has done nothing to change it -- and he could, simply by rescheduling marijuana out of Schedule I. Despite his past as a renowned ringleader of the pot-smoking "Choom Gang" while growing up in Hawaii, his administration's current position offers little sympathy for marijuana, regardless of the drug's legal status in various states.
According to the White House's official position against legalization, "marijuana use is harmful and should be discouraged." Obama has dismissed legalization as well, and while he's said that the recent pot legalization efforts in Washington and Colorado prove there needs to be a discussion, there have been no signs that he plans to scale back his aggressive enforcement policy.

More 'Reset' Failure: Did Russian Nuclear Sub Travel Undetected in Gulf?What we do know: the White House does not want anyone noticing the enemy Russia has become. (More from Bridget Johnson: Why Was a Russian Attack Sub Lurking in the Gulf of Mexico?)
August 17, 2012 - 12:07 am
On August 14, the Washington Free Beacon reported that the U.S. had confirmed "a Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in U.S. strategic waters was only confirmed after it left the region." Back in 2009, just months after Obama took office, the New York Times had reported the appearance of Russian attack subs off the U.S. coast for the first time in more than a decade.
The WFB report was sourced to anonymous "officials who are familiar with reports of the submarine patrol in the Gulf of Mexico," and they pointed to "incursions into restricted U.S. airspace near Alaska and California in June and July by Russian strategic bombers." The incursions had also been noted by WFB — when they allegedly occurred — as demonstrating a pattern of increasing Russian aggression. Then, too, the WFB relied on anonymous Pentagon sources.
Republican John Cornyn of the Senate Armed Services Committee was quoted by WFB confirming the sub report:
It's a confounding situation arising from a lack of leadership in our dealings with Moscow. While the president is touting our supposed "reset" in relations with Russia, Vladimir Putin is actively working against American interests, whether it's in Syria or here in our own backyard.
Cornyn has been active in opposing Russian support for the genocidal dictatorship in Syria that is one of Russia's closest allies. However, the only major news organization to carry the WFB report was the Daily Mail, and two days later the Pentagon denied the report. The Moscow Times quoted submarine experts opining that the Russian sub could not have been stealthy enough to enter and remain in the Gulf for an extended period. The MT quoted other sources calling the WFB's bona fides into question and suggesting the report was political propaganda from a website whose publisher worked on the McCain campaign in 2008.
The WFB stood by its story. The Kremlin refused to comment. The Kremlin's English-language mouthpiece, Voice of Russia, said Russian military officials were congratulating themselves on a job well done. Then, it said maybe not.
So what do we have here? Is the Obama administration conspiring with the MSM to cover up a damaging series of events that seriously undermine Obama's foreign policy agenda, or is a rogue conservative website ginning up false reports as the election cycle gets underway to help sink the Democrats' reelection bid? Was Cornyn commenting based on his own independent knowledge of the events, or did he jump the gun and simply respond to the claims made by WFB? Was WFB lied to by anti-Obama figures within the U.S. military?

We're sorry, this product is no longer available.
The ESP Vintage-4 Bass Guitar is right down your alley, whether you play rock 'n' roll from the heyday of the 60s and 70s, or if you just want a bass guitar that looks like it was built in that era. The bolt-on 4-string ESP bass guitar is crafted with an alder body and a maple neck with either a maple or a rosewood fingerboard. Either way, the Vintage-4 bass gives you a sturdily constructed lightweight bass that provides full, rich tones, excellent low and mid-range, and great sustain.
Adding to the Vintage-4 bass' old-school look is a pickguard that covers more than half of the top, stretching from the lower horn down to curl underneath the control knobs. ESP purposely designed the Vintage-4 to look antiquated with simulated wear-and-tear on the body and headstock.
Providing the sound you're looking for are Seymour Duncan Antiquity J (bridge) and P (neck) pickups with 3 control knobs to shape it even more. Making the Vintage-4 bass guitar even more obliging to anyone who loves playing rhythm is it's thin "U" neck contour and double cutaway design for more access to the 24 XJ frets. A 42mm bone nut, Gotoh bridge and tuners, as well ESP and dot inlays along the fretboard complete the Vintage-4 bass package.

The patient's arms or legs are usually involved, but CRPS may affect any part of the body, such as the face or trunk. In some patients, many different areas of the body are affected. CRPS can be progressive (meaning that it gets worse at one site or spreads to other sites), or it can stay the same for a long time or even improve on its own.
CRPS usually develops after an injury. The injury may be to the skin, bone, joints or tissue. This type of CRPS has been called reflex sympathetic dystrophy. CRPS can also develop after any type of injury to major nerves. This type has been called causalgia. The injury that leads to CRPS may be only minor, and sometimes a patient cannot remember any injury or event that caused CRPS to start.
Symptoms Needed to Make the Diagnosis of CRPS These are the symptoms that doctors use to decide whether or not a patient has CRPS: Pain that is constant or almost constant, with:
Having some of the following in the painful area:
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS) is a condition that features a group of typical symptoms, including pain (often "burning" type), tenderness, and swelling of an extremity associated with varying degrees of sweating, warmth and/or coolness, flushing, discoloration, and shiny skin.
RSDS is also referred to as "the shoulder-hand syndrome," "causalgia," and "Sudeck's atrophy." The exact mechanism of how RSDS develops is poorly understood. The theories include irritation and abnormal excitation of nervous tissue, leading to abnormal impulses along nerves that affect blood vessels and skin. A variety of events can trigger the condition, including trauma, surgery, heart disease, degenerative arthritis of the neck, stroke or other brain diseases, nerve irritation by entrapment (such as carpal tunnel syndrome) or shingles, shoulder problems, breast cancer, and drugs for tuberculosis and barbiturates. There is no associated event in one-third of patients.
The onset of the RSDS symptoms may be rapid on gradual. The condition may not display all features. It has been bilateral in up to half of the patients. There are several stages:

Blue Streaks stop the Warriors to win Red Rose C championship
By: BRUCE MORGAN Record Express Sports Editor, Staff Writer
The goal of the Warwick Midget C Red football team was two-fold on Saturday.
Spoil Manheim Township White's unbeaten season.
And of course, win their championship game.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, it wasn't meant to be.
Blue Streaks' running back Brett Benjamin ran for a game-high 195 yards and four TD's on 27 carries, as Township capped a perfect 12-0 season with a 30-0 win in the Red Rose League's C championship game at Manheim Central's Elden Rettew Field.
"It's just a formidable little force," Warwick coach Tom Rice said of Township's team. "Very-well coached, very organized. They always come hard."
Warwick proved to be a formidable little force in its own right this fall, and although their final game didn't end as they had hoped, the Warriors still finished with a solid 9-3 record while reaching the first-ever championship game in Warwick program history.
"I would sum up the season to be fantastic," Rice said. "These boys work as hard as they possibly can. They came out each week and fought. They've had tough games, they had tough opponents, they're in the toughest section in the Red Rose division, which is Section Two. There's never a week off and they just did extraordinary. We come up against the Township effect and … we're still working on it. We'll figure that one out. But like I said, I'm very proud of them every single step of the way. As soon as they made the playoffs, I was proud of the whole season they had."
In an earlier meeting, the Blue Streaks defeated Warwick by a 20-6 score back in September. On Saturday, they set the tone with a game-opening 55-yard drive. After Benjamin got the call on 10 of the first 11 carries, Warwick's Alex Epple dropped Jaden Floyd for a two-yard loss at the Warriors' nine-yard line. Two plays later, however, Benjamin scored on a three-yard run off of left tackle to put the Streaks up 6-0 with 1:20 left in the quarter. Ethan Minnich broke up Kirk Harrison's PAT pass to keep the score where it was.
Moments later, the Warriors had a tough break go against them, as the Blue Streaks' spinning kickoff ricocheted off a Warwick player and Township's Matthew Dall jumped on the loose ball at the Warriors' 48. That was the first of Warwick's three turnovers in the game. Seven plays after that, Benjamin found a seam up the middle and went into the end zone from 12 yards out with 5:45 to go in the half. Justin Gerhart stopped Floyd short of the goal line on the PAT, but Township led 12-0.
"That just takes the momentum (after Township recovered the muffed kickoff)," Rice said. "After that drive, you want to get the ball back and try to establish one of your own, and to have that happen right off the get-go? Yeah, that's just another way of taking the gas out."
Warwick finally got the ball for its first offensive series, and although Tristen Horst completed a five-yard pass to Ethan Minnich on third-and-long, they were forced to turn the ball over on downs. From there, the Streaks took over at their own 42, and although Trey Glass, Zavier Cosme, Justin Gerhart and Minnich all stepped up with stops, and David Hnasko chased down Benjamin from behind for a TD-saving tackle, the Warriors couldn't prevent Township from scoring on its third possession in a row. Benjamin's two-yard TD run pushed the Blue Streaks' advantage to 18-0 with :39.6 remaining in the half.
"A lot of the credit goes to (Benjamin's) line," Rice said. "They fire out, all in unison at the same time, and they just push bodies backward. You give a back a hole like that and he looks real good. I mean, (Benjamin) is a good back, but I give a lot of credit to what I see up front as far as opening everything up."
On the ensuing kickoff, the Warriors tried for a big return as Minnich handed off to Glass for a reverse which took the ball to the Warwick 49-yard line. But time expired following the next play and the Blue Streaks carried an 18-0 advantage into the break.
After getting a defensive stop on Warwick's first possession in the second half, the Blue Streaks added to their lead when Benjamin scored on a 38-yard TD run with 3:20 left in the third quarter. Horst made the stop on Township's PAT try to keep the score at 24-0.
The Warriors made their first trip into the Blue Streaks' territory on their next possession, but on fourth-and-long, Township's Benjamin recovered a fumble at midfield. Seven plays later, Jacob Smith reached paydirt for the Streaks on a one-yard plunge with 5:19 to go to complete the scoring.
To their credit, however, the Warriors didn't go quietly. Glass and Minnich ran for gains of 16 and 11 yards, respectively, to give Warwick its deepest penetration of the day on its ensuing drive, with a first down at the Streaks' 35. But Township's Samuel Peters recovered a fumble on the next play, and then MT ran out the clock.
For the game, Glass finished with 16 rushing yards on seven carries, but the Warriors had only 15 net yards and three first downs overall as an offense.
"It kinda reminded of the same reaction (we had) when we played them in the season," Rice said. "We just come out, kinda get in that deer in the headlights mode and instead of firing forward, we're standing straight up and that just gets you pushed right back. And we were trying to get it back and we could just never get it back. On offense, it was the same thing. That's not their style of play."
At game's end, players on both teams received trophies, and a successful season was put in the books.
"They weren't (disappointed)," Rice said of his players, "and I think that's a good thing because we tried to let them know how proud we were of them regardless of the outcome of this game. We wanted them to come out and give it their best for four quarters. They've been freezing for the last three weeks in 38-degree practice nights. But we wanted to let them know from the beginning, before they ever walked out here, how proud we were and how proud they should be of themselves." More WARRIORS, page B-2
