CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers' offensive struggles, so prevalent in the preseason, continued in Sunday's regular-season opener against Seattle.
The Carolina defense, on the other hand, did just about all it could do, keeping quarterback Russell Wilson and the potent Seahawks offense mostly in check despite a 12-7 loss.
It all combined to form a common postgame theme running through the Panthers locker room after the loss at Bank of America Stadium — missed opportunities, specifically on offense, were the culprit in the loss.
"We had missed opportunities to put some points on the board and we got down in the red zone and unfortunately turned it over," Carolina coach Ron Rivera said. "We had a couple of other opportunities on third down as far as our defense is concerned to keep them backed up and let them out."
Last year, in a 16-12 loss to Seattle, the Panthers failed to score touchdowns on two red-zone opportunities. In the final three preseason games this year, Carolina settled for field goals on all four drives into the red zone.
The missed opportunities theme, almost to a man, rang throughout the Carolina locker room Sunday.
"That's been the word, the phrase of the day," said Carolina quarterback Cam Newton.
The most glaring miscue, simply because of its impact and prominence, was DeAngelo Williams' fumble as the Panthers were driving for what would have been a go-ahead touchdown.
Trailing 12-7, Carolina marched from its own 20 to the Seattle 24. On second-and-2, Williams bolted around the right side and was hit at the 8-yard line by the Seahawks' Earl Thomas. The ball spurted loose and was recovered by Tony McDaniel with 5:25 to play.
"We were moving the ball and I ended it," Williams said, taking blame for the loss.
It was not a sentiment shared by his teammates.
"DeAngelo is a great back and he's carried us on his shoulders to a lot of touchdowns and a lot of yards. It's a team thing," Carolina offensive lineman Jordan Gross said. "It looked like he was going to take it in for a touchdown. When our defense holds a team to 12 points, we should win every time. As an offense, we have to score more than seven points."
Gross said the Carolina defense gave an "inspired performance" and "played their hearts out."
Its defense kept Carolina in the game, containing the slippery Wilson with inside pressure that at times flushed him to defensive ends Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy. Russell passed for 320 yards and was sacked twice. Seattle ran for 70 yards.
"Wilson didn't create that many problems," cornerback Josh Norman said. "We kept him contained."
The Panthers' lone defensive hiccup led to Wilson's 43-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse. It pushed the Seahawks ahead 12-7 early in the fourth quarter. It was the second consecutive deep throw by Wilson against Panthers cornerback Josh Thomas. The first just barely missed being a touchdown.
"The first play was a miscommunication on my part," Thomas said. "I was a little winded from the first throw and then they put in a new guy with fresh legs. I've made that play a thousand times, but not this time."
Seattle scored on field goals of 27 and 40 yards by Steven Hauschka.
The Panthers scored on a 3-yard pass from Newton to Steve Smith. It capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive that gave Carolina a 7-3 halftime lead.
Carolina's missed opportunities mounted in the second half. An intentional grounding penalty on Wilson was followed by 18- and 8-yard completions leading to a field goal, cutting the deficit to 7-6 with 2:22 remaining in the third period.
Seattle grabbed the lead on Wilson's pass to Kearse. That was followed by Williams fumble. At that point, the Carolina defense couldn't get off the field and give the ball back to the offense — a span of 5:25 as Seattle ran out the clock.
"We did a great job for 3½ quarters," Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly said.

Jury selection begins in Scherf murder trial
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Court staff sort through the hundreds of number badges they need for the almost 300 potential jurors filling the ballroom at Comcast Arena in Everett Tuesday morning. Snohomish County Superior Court was held in the ballroom to accommodate the number of potential jurors for the trial of Byron Scherf, who is accused of killing corrections officer Jayme Biendl.

Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Surrounded by members of his defense team, Byron Scherf leaves the ballroom at Comcast Arena in Everett on Tuesday morning during a session of Snohomish County Superior Court.
Snohomish County Superior Court Judge George Appel said that choosing a jury will take weeks and the first witness likely won't testify until the end of the month or early May. The trial could last a month or so.
About 270 people filed into two ballrooms at the Everett Events Center Tuesday morning. The large crowd was silent as Appel read the aggravated murder charge against Byron Scherf. The potential jurors also learned that if the defendant is found guilty, they would then be asked whether Scherf should be put to death.
Scherf, 54, was introduced to the crowd, standing with his attorneys and nodding his head.
He had been moved under heavy security from the Snohomish County Jail, where he's been kept since shortly after Jan. 29, 2011.
Jurors were told that prosecutors allege that Scherf was in prison at the time he is accused of killing Biendl.
It is unclear how much jurors will hear about the repeat rapist's criminal history. His defense attorneys have indicated in court documents that they should be allowed to ask potential jurors whether they would be biased against Scherf because he is a "twice convicted sex offender." The defense also wrote that they should be able to ask whether a juror would consider a life sentence even though Scherf is already confined to life behind bars without the possibility of release.
The jury pool is expected to be questioned extensively about their views on capital punishment.
On Tuesday, the panel was instructed to fill out a 23-page questionnaire. Beginning Thursday, they will be coming back to court in small groups for individual questioning.
Appel warned panel members not to discuss the case. He and court staff also repeatedly instructed them to avoid any media coverage.
It would be fundamentally unfair to base a decision on any information received outside the courtroom, the judge said.
Meanwhile Scherf's lawyers are expected to make more arguments Wednesday challenging whether prosecutors can seek the defendant's execution. The defense filed a motion last week, calling the state's death penalty unconstitutional.
They also have asked the state Supreme Court to review Appel's decision from last month in which he declined to remove the death penalty as a possible punishment. The defense again made arguments that its client's rights were violated by the way Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe reached his decision to seek the death penalty.
Roe reviewed nearly 6,500 pages of police reports about the killing and records about Scherf's years in prison. He made his decision, however, before the defense provided him any information about why Scherf may deserve leniency.
Scherf is accused of ambushing Biendl inside the prison chapel at the Washington State Reformatory in Monroe. He claimed that she said something offensive about his wife.
Biendl, 34, was strangled with an amplifier cord.
A few days after the killing, Scherf wrote detectives and prosecutors saying he wanted to plead guilty to aggravated murder and he expected a death sentence. He wrote that Biendl's family deserved "swift justice." A short time later he agreed to speak with detectives and confessed to killing Biendl.
Last year, he sent letters to The Herald claiming that his decision to later fight the murder charge was motivated partly because he was denied privileges in jail that he said the detectives promised him.
Corrections records show that Scherf has been a prolific letter writer in the decades he has spent behind bars. His letters often included complaints about conditions in prison such as the quality of prison-issued ear plugs and not being able to wear a sweater.
He also has written governors, prison secretaries and corrections department staff demanding sex-offender treatment, warning that he could present a danger to others in prison.

Plato's dialogue Euthyphro-I have read it and your missing the point. Rape is not wrong because God says its wrong, rape is wrong because it goes against God's character, therefore God could never make rape okay because he would be contradicting his own principles.
I will check out Spong's thing
Again, I would like someone to explain morality from within based on a pleasure/pain principle.
Some cultures take pleasure in loving their neighbor while others take pleasure in eating their neighbor, both presuppositions are correct under a morality from within basis.

Virgin No More
Last night, I watched a Star Wars movie for the first time ever. Yes, you read that correctly. I had never, until less than twenty-four hours ago, watched any of the Star Wars films in whole or part. This, even though I am of the generation that cannot remember life before the first of series came out.
My parents found my indifference to the craze puzzling, other kids found it bizarre. I didn't care. I never bought an action figure, didn't ask for the bed sheets, never fought a light sabre duel on the playground. When The Phantom Menace came out and my contemporaries went bananas all over again, I rolled my eyes and stuck Enchanted April into the VCR to drown out the noise.
Last night, the lights at the AMC River East Gigantoplex went down, that theme music came up, the opening text crawl started, and the normal seven-year-old child I never was came bubbling up to the surface.
I am still not certain what hit me. It makes no sense. I hate, hate, hate science fiction. I don't like loud noises and I don't ride rollercoasters. I don't go to action films, I never wanted to be a pilot or a soldier and war movies make me sick.
Moreover, the movie is well beyond dreadful in some aspects. When it tries to be romantic, it sinks utterly. George Lucas's idea of the perfect woman, embodied in Natalie Portman's anorexic Padmé (where did she carry those fat twins? in a handbag?), is that of a science geek who can't get a date with one. And the mumbling underwear model who turns into Darth Vader is such a crummy actor that he couldn't convincingly scream for water if his hair were on fire. (Which, come to think of it, it was.)
So explain to me please why more than once I wanted to stand up and holler? Why I was gripping the edges of my seat trying not to jump up and down? Why I wanted to grab C (whose idea this movie date was) and all the people around us and shake them and say, "Did you see that? Did you see that?"
C has promised to show me the other movies damn quick.
It is deeply disturbing to discover at age 34 that one does, after all, have an inner child. I thought I'd finished digesting him a long time ago.
Teddy Bear News
On Friday, I managed to get over to Knitter's Niche before it closed to see about ordering more teddy bear yarn, since of course I'd been told that it was out of stock.
I was waited on by none other than Mary Ann herself, the infamous Mary Ann, she of the crabby disposition. Here's surprise number one: I liked her. She's gruff, yes - but attentive, learned, and utterly dedicated to knitting. She's enormously helpful, even patient with well-meant dumb questions, but if you're expecting a twinkling grandma who will offer you a cup of tea and pat you on the back you're in for a shock.
She also admitted to me that she knows what people think of her, but that after all the years in the business she's just sick of certain types of people. Her specific example: Lincoln Park trixies (a local term for clueless, snotty yuppie women from a snotty yuppie neighborhood) who come into the shop five minutes before closing with yarn bought in New York City. They expect her to wind it for them for free, and then teach them to cast on. She said she has no problem telling that sort of person to get the hell out of her shop, and I don't blame her.
Surprise number two: the yarn I wanted was not out of stock. Not remotely. Before placing the special order, Mary Ann checked the shelf again and there was the yarn I'm using. About 18 skeins of it. It comes (says Mary Ann) in bags of 20, and I'd bought two for this bear. When I got home, I checked and sure enough - same dye lot. Not only were they not sold out, they'd never sold any except what they sold to me.
So after a momentary pause, Jack the Teddy Bear continues. Three leg pieces and half an arm piece to go.
When I laid out the various finished pieces on the table all I could think of was Darth Vader being cobbled together after his nasty encounter with the volcano.
And Also
On Saturday, C and I went to Wicker Park (an artsy Chicago neighborhood not yet destroyed by suburbanites) to visit his friends Liz and David. Like all C's friends, they're fascinating. He's a painter, she's a poet. They had twin baby girls about seven months ago, and since the babies spent many months in the hospital we hadn't had a chance to meet them yet. It was well worth the wait.
I think bunny and/or kitty hats will be in order (for the babies, not the parents).
Before we met up with them, we visited a used bookshop I've never been to, and I got (among other things) a solid old copy of Ruskin's Sesame and Lilies and a terrific six-dollar copy of Barbara Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns. And you didn't. Nyah.

I loved that movie! You too will love it and I can understand how you may be confused since you've never seen the other movies.
Hayden Christiansen (sp?) sucked rocks as an actor. He's cute but sucks.

You enjoyed it because it's written utilizing practically every deep-seated Joseph Campbellian bit of symbolism IN THE WORLD. That's why everyone loves the Star Wars series - it's epic. It speaks to the part of the human soul that in this day and age is starved for heroes and heroines and stories containing resonant, self-referral layers. It's satisfying. Myth and the Hero's Journey and the belly of the whale and all that, symbolizing the soul's transformation from selfish individual to selfless protector, etc.
Anyway. You're supposed to like it, dear one! And I'm glad you did. Don't be ashamed. ;-)
And I'm so happy to hear the bear's back on track.

...to change the subject utterly, I've always meant to ask: what exactly did you mean when you picked the word panopticon? (You're in a jail with no privacy? You're a room full of curios?) I can't figure out the resonance, and I even went to the trouble of reading every single entry here. Of course, I did not go to the trouble of looking up the word panopticon, so quite likely there's a definition I don't know.
There should be a word for that, hey what, for reading every entry in a blog! Then I could say, "I even went to the trouble of ______," which would be so much more elegant.

whtat idiot at the lys told you they were out of stock in the first place? I'd have their head on a plate. oh wait, i'm crabby too!
as for the movie, yes Franklin there is an inner child in there... he's just been hiding from you for a while. i think i caught a glimpse of him last weekend, though. (he likes pretty presents :)
but dont' you think Lord of the Rings is so much better than Star Wars? (don't you dare tell me you haven't seen them!)
- Buzz said...
Why did you enjoy Star Bores? The answer is as old as the Romans...its called spectacle. There's no plot, there's no real character development, its just one big boom after another. George Lucas couldn't write a grocery list, let alone a movie. However, as far as entertainment goes, yeah its no doubt worth $8.50. I for one prefer the Bond movies for my cheap fun…but that's just me
- Franklin said...
Well, that's my point, Buzz. You know me well enough to know that pure pop spectacle keeps me interested for three seconds or less. So my reaction to this film is puzzling.
By my reckoning, it should have been as negative as my reactions to the James Bond movies, which I've pretty much always found to be straight male masturbatory fantasies in which clipped delivery tries to pass for wit. Well done trash, but trash.
But that's just me.

i've only seen the first three starwars'. when the first of the second three came out and was supposed to be so bad i gave up on them. i hear consistantly that this one is good so i will check it out. i also love me some ewan mcgregor. hayden christiansen is cute, but crummy. he's ok in shattered glass. how can you be bad in a star wars movie, though? you'd really have to work at it.
- Colleen said...
I am still (proudly) a Star Wars virgin. And I intend to remain so. I'll hold my head high and not be ashamed that, when I die, I'll be the last person on earth not to have seen one.
I am vaguely aware of the story line, however, having seen Space Balls.
- birdfarm said...
I always assumed I loved Star Wars so much (despite wooden acting, awful scripts, stupid plots, and barely a perfunctory attempt at even the most basic internal logic--"oh and have the protocol droid's mind wiped," yeah, right) because I was just the right age (six) when the first one came out.
I am intrigued that you actually liked it at all as an adult.
As for those who poo-poo it, they're just trying to be cool. I worried about being uncool when I was in seventh grade. I don't now.

Redesign our "Bell Garden"!
Posted by: heather on Apr 15, 2014
Tagged in: Announcements
The Columbia County Rural Library District is asking for your help in redesigning the garden area in front of the library. As a continuing effort to grow and serve the community better, CCRLD would like to create an open and inviting outdoor space in front of the library.
The Columbia County Rural Library District and the Friends of the Dayton Memorial Library are sponsoring a design contest for the Bell Garden space in front of the library. The winner will be named at a special reception and will have the opportunity to see their design, or elements of their design implemented. The winner will also have a plaque in the garden and have the opportunity to name the new garden area.
Contest guidelines:
The space is 21' 6" along the east and west edges and 19' north and south. The bell is on a base, which is 3' 8" square.
The budget for this project is $1000 for labor and materials.
The contest is open to all ages. Both groups and individuals are encouraged to enter.
Required elements:
- There must be some spaces for seating.
- All plants and other elements must be low maintenance
- There must be at least 10" of hardscaping or xeriscaping/ drought resistance landscaping around the perimeter. This is to protect the basement from water damage due to maintaining thirsty plants. (Existing plantings will be relocated.)
- The design must compliment the architecture; this includes incorporating the bell and design elements that are in scale with the building.
- The winning design will be a pleasing and inviting space for people to relax and enjoy.
Preferred elements:
- Xeriscaping (landscaping and gardening that reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental water)
- Native plants
- Low maintenance and weather resistant architectural/art elements
- Edible plants
To enter, please submit no later than 5pm, Friday, May 16, 2014:
- A scale drawing of your plan, on an 11 x 17 sheet paper, that includes a key to the elements in your design.
- A brief written description of your plan.
Contestant's plans will be on display in the library from May 19 to May 29. Community members will vote to decide the winner.* A reception will be held in the Delany Room on Friday, May 30, 2014 at 6 pm to announce the winner.
- The winning designer(s) will see his/her design implemented*
- The winning designer(s) will have the opportunity to name the new garden
- The CCRLD will install a plaque engraved with the garden's new name and the name of the designer(s) somewhere in the garden.
*If the results of voting are not decisive, the library reserves the right to use elements of the winning design along with elements of other designs, as the budget allows.
For more information, call the Columbia County Rural Library District at 382-4131, email email@example.com or come by the library at 111 S Third, Dayton.

The Awakening
The Awakening (Hardcover)
If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl—someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I'm as far away from normal as it gets. A living science experiment—not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters, I'm a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control; I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever.
Now I'm running for my life with three of my supernatural friends—a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch—and we have to find someone who can help us before the Edison Group finds us first. Or die trying.
About the Author
Kelley Armstrong is the author of the New York Times bestselling Darkest Powers/Darkness Rising series for young adults as well as the Otherworld and Nadia Stafford series. She lives with her family in Ontario, Canada.
Praise for The Awakening…
"A page-turner. Readers will anticipate the book to follow."
-Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
"Armstrong has some fun toying with supernatural teen thriller conventions, and the taut pacing should please fans of the exploding genre."

The staff of the Hampton Inn and Suites of West Point truly have something to be proud about, as they were notified just last week that they will soon be the recipients of the Hilton Circle of Excellence Award.
The Circle of Excellence Award, given out each year, is only given to Hilton's hotels, which rank in the top ten percent when it comes to product quality and guest satisfaction. Out of 676 total Hampton Inn and Suites across the planet, the West Point Hampton Inn and Suites ranked number 52, putting the hotel in the top 10 percent. The hotels are assessed through periodical walk-throughs by a Hilton quality assurance team as well as guest surveys that are submitted to Hilton's corporate office.
West Point's Hampton Inn Co-owner Christopher Decamp said he is overjoyed by the excellent guest service exemplified by the 20-member staff of the Hampton in West Point. He expressed his appreciation to General Manager Tracy Styron, who has been with the Hampton of West Point since it opened in July of 2009, Assistant General Manager Artavia Logan, the housekeeping staff, the front desk clerks and everyone associated with the hotel.
"The front desk clerks meet and greet everybody with smiling faces, our breakfast lady has been with us since we opened – she's here every morning making sure everybody's getting their coffee and breakfast food; everybody has gone the extra mile here," Decamp said. "Housekeeping is really where a lot of your surveys come in because if someone checks into a dirty room they're unhappy. If someone is not greeted with a smile they're going to let you know pretty quickly. So friendliness and hard work are the two biggest things as well as loyalty. We have about eight people who have been here from the very beginning. They have a lot of pride in it and want it to be the best."
The Hampton Inn and Suites of West Point has 70 rooms, including suites, an exercise facility, free hot breakfast and other great features for guests.

Network: ABC Family
Episodes: 19 (hour)
Seasons: One
TV show dates: June 11, 2013 — April 1, 2014
Series status: Cancelled
Performers include: Avan Jogia, Madelaine Hasson, Ashton Moio, Kimberly Quinn, Sam Robards, Kylie Bunbury, and Denise Richards.
TV show description:
This mystery series revolves around charismatic 16-year-old Danny Desai (Avan Jogia). He killed his aunt at the age of 11 and was held in custody for five years. He returns to his hometown and tries to reconnect with his two female best friends from childhood — while facing the challenges of a community of judgmental peers.
A murder occurs the day after he returns so Danny becomes an immediate suspect. Realizing the town does not care about the truth and only wants to see him convicted, Danny becomes determined to clear his name. At the same time, he must keep another secret — the true reason he killed his aunt.
Jo Masterson (Madelaine Hasson) is an offbeat and tough yet vulnerable girl who was Danny's childhood best friend. She became a social outcast after discovering the body of his slain aunt and becomes Danny's biggest supporter. Her best friend is Rico (Ashton Moio), the resident class clown.
Tess Masterson (Kimberly Quinn) is Jo's mother and she tries to give Danny the benefit of the doubt. Jo's father, Kyle (Sam Robards), is the town sheriff. He believes Danny is a cold killer and wants his daughter to stay away from him.
Lacey Porter (Kylie Bunbury) was once Jo and Danny's best friend. She's beautiful and intelligent and has found the popularity that eluded Jo. Lacey appears to have a perfect life but is very guarded and secretly misses the closeness of her former friendships.
Karen Desai (Denise Richards) is Danny's mother. She once ruled the town's social scene, but now struggles to put on a brave face when her son returns.
Series Finale
Episode #19 — A Tale of Two Confessions
Kyle's investigation culminates with a series of shocking and contradictory confessions and potentially deadly consequences. The complicated triangle between Jo, Danny and Charlie comes to a shocking head. Karen and Tess uncover more of Vikram's secrets, including a piece of evidence that has major implications for Tess and the Masterson family. Meanwhile, Whitney's mother Gretchen (Elaine Hendrix) shows up to bring her daughter back to the city, and her candor about Whitney's past causes Lacey to question her friend. And Rico makes a major faux pas in his first meeting with Andie's parents.
First aired: April 1, 2014.

Kendall White doesn't shy away from contact.
In fact, the junior has come to expect it, given he plays both running back and safety for White Oak's football team.
But what about basketball?
Well, the 17-year-old White doesn't mind contact on the court, either.
"It does help in the sense that because I'm used to it by playing football when I take it to the hoop … it allows me to draw contact and still go up for a layup and finish," White said. "Definitely (football coach Chad Ashley) has gotten me stronger."
But just how strong is the 5-foot-11, 200-pound White?
He said he bench presses 330 pounds and squats 425, and that his strength enables him to go up to the rim strong and without fear.
And because White is able to finish strong, he's fourth in area scoring at 15 points per game for the Vikings (5-18, 2-11 Coastal 3-A Conference), who play host to rival Jacksonville (10-13, 5-8) tonight in the teams' regular-season finale.
White Oak coach Chris Grimes also feels White's muscle growth has helped him become a better basketball player during his three years on varsity. As a freshman, White averaged 8.1 points per game before scoring 9.8 last year as a sophomore.
"He can take contact and instead of maybe going to the foul line or not getting a foul called because he's out of control in the air, he's now getting 'and-1s' and making free throws to complete the three-point play," Grimes said.
"Kendall has a God-given body that not many people are blessed with, but he's taken it to the next level by getting in the weight room and increasing his muscle mass. He's probably put on 35 pounds in 2 1/2 years and all 35 pounds is muscle."
Given that, it's not surprising that White isn't exactly an outside finesse player. But his style doesn't feature just battling down low. He also has a pull-up jump shot that can catch defenders off guard.
"This year more so than the last two years, he's been able to develop a pretty good 10- to 15-foot pull-up," Grimes said. "He's seeing where a defender might be setting up to take a charge and he's stropping on a dime and pulling up and knocking that shot down, which has elevated his scoring."
White said he added that shot into his game during the offseason.
"It helps me keep my defender off-balanced because he doesn't know when I will drive or shoot it," he said.
But White hasn't just become a stronger scorer for the Vikings. White, who's averaging 2 assists per game, has also become a smarter player, which translates into his making better decisions on whether to take the ball to the goal or to dish it off to a teammate.
"Kendall has had a huge year as far as growth and figuring out what the other nine guys on the basketball court are doing and how he can make himself or his teammates successful," Grimes said. "He reads the floor and sees what the defense is offering, and he sees where a good place is for his teammates to be a scoring threat if it's not there for him to get to the basket."
White credited Grimes for helping see the court better this season.
"Coach Grimes has helped me with my basketball IQ and be a smarter player," he said. "This is by far my best year. I just got to give credit to my teammates and my coach for putting me in a good position."
White has certainly done his share despite the Vikings not having as many victories as they hoped. Watch him play, and you would never know White Oak has just five wins.
"Kendall has a burning desire to make his team better," Grimes said. "Sometimes it burns brighter, and that comes with confidence in a flow of a game."
And White would like nothing more than to light things up tonight when the Vikings play host to Jacksonville, which has defeated White Oak in 19 consecutive games, dating back to the 2006 regular-season finale.
"They've had us for a couple of years. I just think we want to do it (defeat Jacksonville) for the seniors because they haven't beaten Jacksonville and this is the last time we play them. I just need to play well and not force it. I need to knock down some shots and get our team going."
The Vikings have not beaten Jacksonville since a 64-54 win on Jan. 13, 2006 at White Oak High School. If White Oak is to beat Jacksonville today, White will likely need to have a big game.
"The biggest thing is we got to keep him out of foul trouble," Grimes said. "He's got to be the man amongst boys and he's got to be the leading playmaker, whether that's drawing three defenders and making a perfect pass for a wide-open layup or scoring over multiple defenders and getting to the foul line and converting."

Harvey Records Monster Double-Double as Women's Basketball Bounces Livingstone 73-64
November 19, 2011
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - For the second-straight game, junior Christina Harvey led Pfeiffer University with a team-high 21 points during a 73-64 victory over Livingstone College in women's basketball action at the Queen City Classic. Harvey also recorded a monster double-double with 13 rebounds helping the Lady Falcons improve to 2-3 overall.
Pfeiffer rebounded from a poor shooting Friday night to knock down 45% of their shots from the field during a 34-27 first half lead. The Lady Falcons struggled a bit in the final 20 minutes but held the Blue Bears to just 32% shooting on the day to score the nine point win.
Behind Harvey's 6-of-8 shooting and 9-of-11 from the free throw line, Brittany Cox drained 19 points while Shelley Reese followed with 11. The Lady Falcons held a 40-34 advantage in rebounds despite 27 turnovers.
Kelcyn Manurs paced Livingstone with 23 points while Cierra York added 13. Livingstone shot just 29% in the first half, barely improving in the second.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Tuesday for their final game before the Thanksgiving holiday heading to Mars Hill for a rematch with the Lady Lions. The Lady Falcons will try to score revenge against Mars Hill after a 32-point loss last weekend in the Lenoir-Rhyne Invitational.

The dogs rescued from a Bronx dog fighter's basement last year are finally getting justice. Raul Sanchez, who pleaded guilty to dog fighting a few weeks ago, is now heading to prison.
Last week a judge sentenced Sanchez to one to three years for animal fighting, one year for animal cruelty and one year for criminal possession of a weapon. (Sanchez will serve these sentences concurrently.)
He's also been slapped with a ban on keeping animals for the duration of his parole. Sanchez waived his right to appeal.
We hope Sanchez's sentence serves as a reminder to dog fighters that their crimes against innocent animals carry serious consequences.
let's just hope he dies in jail, get's beaten to death in a prison yard fight so he knows how those animals felt.
and animals are not at all lower than humans. they are our equals or higher. but humans say they are so that is how they are treated. and it's people who think and say they are that are part of the problem. if we treat them like equals and value them as we value human life, only then will things start to really change.
1 to 3 yrs is not even close to being justice. Those poor babies suffered more pain than this stupid jackass could ever feel. He should've fried for this.
Nice, it's about time; should get justice more!!
I do think that they should have to register and not be allowed to ever have animals again
I feel the sentence is too light and do not understand why he should ever be allowed to have animals again.
Not nearly enough time in prison, I hope he rots. Post his stupid face so he can be shamed even more. F*** you.
Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made, man is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. ~Mark Twain
Animals are a blessing from God especially our companion animals. God also commands us to take of them. It is no coincidence that they effect our health and blood pressure in a good way, visit the elderly in nursing homes, horses that carry the handicapped, seeing eye dogs and dogs that assist the handicapped.. I could go on and on. Do people do even half of what some of these animals do? Our justice system is screwed up but there is someone much larger and more important watching and judging. I would not want to have to answer to him on that day regarding his creatures if I were this person.
1-3 yrs - that's all?? No fine either?? and a ban on having animals while on parole?? Unbelievable. This guy should have been given 1 to 3 yrs for EACH dog that they found in the basement plus a fine of at least $1000.00 per dog, too. And he's not to have any animals while on parole? How about NO Animals FOR LIFE!! This is NOT going to discourage any other dog fighters I'm afraid. More SEVERE laws & sentences need to be made & enforced! The innocent dogs voices need to be heard!

Often times it may be a requirement for your web application to send an SMS message. Such examples would be reminders, password resetting, and spam.
Q: Can I have some code to send an SMS message?
A: Unfortunately it isn't as simple as just copying and pasting some code into your application and you can start blasting out text messages. SMS is a service, and cellular carriers will charge for it. The cost varies by carrier. SMS is a standard defined set of protocols that is authenticated to. When you contact a cellular company they will provide you with a username, password, gateway (sometimes called an Endpoint), and various other protocol related configurations.
There are several existing .NET SMS SDKs out there - some are free and open source - but that doesn't change the fact that ultimately, those SDKs need endpoints configuration and you are back to the problem of needing a provider.
Q: OK - How do I get in touch with a company to send an SMS?
A: Most often than not it isn't feasible to contact a cellular company themselves. If you were to contact say, Verizon, you would only be able to send an SMS to Verizon phones. So you would have to partner with individual carriers - then there is the pain of figuring out which number belongs to which carrier. The easiest solution is to go to a 3rd party company that handles all of the messy work for you. This gives you an advantage of sending them in a simple manner and also not needing to know or understand how the SMPP protocol (or whatever protocol they are using - there are many) works as they will almost always provide an SDK or Web Service of their own.
Q: What 3rd party Gateway Provider should I use?
A: It varies by country, but a popular one that is somewhat regional is Clickatell. (Disclaimer - I do not work for them nor have I used their services - I found them via Google). They also provide their own SDK with sample code.
Here is a list of other ones:
Q: I want a vanity or custom shortcode, like 134569 instead of a phone number.
A: That depends on the gateway provider. Clickatell allows you to rent one.
Q: We are going to be using A LOT of SMS messages - what if I want my own gateway?
A: If you want to setup your own gateway, then you will need some physical hardware are well as software.
Kannel is a popular open source SMS Gateway that runs on Unix like operating systems. You will still need to contact an SMS Center and this does not mean you can start sending out SMS messages for free.
Good luck with your application.
Aug 16, 2009 05:12 PM|tdinpsp|LINK
If I understand you correctly you want to send a SMS message to a phone. Provided that you know the carrier for that phone you can send it a message via email.
<asp:DropDownList ID="DDLCarrier" runat="server"> <asp:ListItem Value="@text.att.net">AT&T</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="@cingularme.com">Cingular</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="@messaging.nextel.com">Nextel</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="@messaging.sprintpcs.com">Sprint</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="@tmomail.net">T-Mobile</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="@vtext.com">Verizon</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="@vmobl.com">Virgin Mobile</asp:ListItem> </asp:DropDownList>
So if the phone number was 999-999-9999 and the carrier was Verizon then you could simply email to firstname.lastname@example.com and the message will appear on the phone as a text message. So as long as you know the carrier of the phone number it will work. If you don't know the carrier then I suppose you could send it to all the carriers and at least one should work.

Actually, i'm having this problem of sending an automated sms from my asp.net (vb) website. I'm a student and presently designing a website for my final project. The project is an intelligent car rental system that include sending an sms notification to rentals to remind them of when to return the car.
I've been in contact with clickatell for gateway but my problem is how to schedule the sms notification. Details of rental service will be stored in SQL database which includes the renter name, address, phone, rentdate and returningdate. So if returningdate is tomorrow, then sms notification should be sent today as a reminder.
Please advise

Dear all!
Am facing a problem, whenever am sending a message from localhost it works, but whenever am trying to send from client
computer, it says unable to connect to remote server! am sending a message from sms provider website, so i have included the messaging and connecting string of that website in codebehind, am using vb.
what may be the isssue.?
.i checked internet is available on server and client
2.i checked that client has the permission to access server files
3. do we need to have any spl permissions to run scripts at server?
Jan 06, 2010 10:36 AM|satalaj|LINK
Hi s.wayez,
It ssems they are accessing networks via proxy? If yes then you need to add proxy settings in your code
while calling API.
Jan 08, 2010 06:19 AM|apkumar|LINK
Is this code working fine for you?
I didn't get messages using this code, while debugging it is showing done (for strResult) but not getting SMS.
Any suggestions?

Hi satalaj!
Thnx for your reply! i even dont know how to add proxy settings to my code?
can you elobarate plz
Jan 25, 2010 02:48 PM|satalaj|LINK
you can refer the same code provided here
you need to create instance of webProxy like this
// WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("192.168.1.100",3321);
then tell your request object to use this proxy settings
//request.Proxy = proxy;
First makesure that you are accessing intenet via proxy server.
This way all requests going out from your pc will go through proxy server.
Also you can refer this post http://revenmerchantservices.com/post/2009/07/25/httpwebrequest-web-proxy.aspx

In the context of this anemic recovery, President Obama raised the issues of economic inequality and mobility. These are real issues. Indeed, the JEC Republican staff has conducted extensive research on economic inequality and mobility that is available on the JEC's website. We are not all blessed with equal desires and talents. Therefore, we should not expect equal outcomes. In America, however, everyone should have an equal chance to climb the ladder of success—driven upward by his or her initiative—and to achieve his or her American dream. What role should Washington play in addressing economic inequality and mobility? President Abraham Lincoln—perhaps the greatest "equalizer" to inhabit the White House—provided the answer.
In his message to Congress on July 4, 1861, he made clear that the proper role of government in promoting economic opportunity is "to elevate the condition of men - to lift artificial weights from all shoulders - to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all - to afford all, an unfettered start and a fair chance, in the race of life."
