Program director Marta Miller welcomes kids in childcare to the Monroe Boys & Girls Club on Monday afternoon. The students start their time in the gym before receiving an afternoon snack at the club. Miller says a teens see the center as a safe environment, and that they can get a snack through a USDA food program. "They have so many struggles at home. Here, they are accepted, they have friends and can receive help." she says.

Two months ago, Mason started going to the Monroe Boys & Girls Club every day. The Park Place Middle School eighth-grader is getting help with his homework, made new friends and found adults he could talk to.
"This is somewhere I can have fun and stay away from trouble," Mason said.
Mason is one of dozens of new members who are filling up the halls of the club, located at 261 Sky River Parkway.
Since September, the club has had an increase in teen attendance with 45 teens on a daily average. This is double from last year, said Marta Miller, program director for the club.
About 140 kids from kindergarten to 12th grade use the club throughout the day. There are no official numbers, but preliminary data from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County has Monroe with the largest teen attendance of all the 17 clubs in the county.
It is unknown why attendance has grown. Miller believes teens have discovered the USDA food program, where the club provides after-school snacks. The program started last year, but it wasn't until now that it's become popular.
It also could be that teens see the center as a safe environment.
"I think that's the biggest thing," Miller said. "They have so many struggles at school and home. Here, they are accepted, they have friends and can receive help."
Having a big attendance is causing the club's costs in staff and lunch to increase, resulting in a bigger need for donations.
The club also is trying to have more activities that cater to teens. Before, there were teen nights every now and then. Now, it's important to have them the last Fridays of every month, Miller said.
For Boys & Girls Clubs Area Director Marci Volmer, the big difference has been a consistent staff that has formed relationships with the teens.
"When there are positive relationships, they continue to come and bring their friends with them," Volmer said.
For Ricky Laffey, 14 and a freshman at Monroe High School, the Monroe Boys & Girls Club is a place he can make a fresh start.
He said he lost the trust of his parents last year when he got himself into trouble.
"I am gaining that trust back by coming here," Ricky said.
Jessica Washington, 13, has been coming to the club for about a year. An eighth-grader at Park Place Middle School, Jessica likes having a quiet space to do her homework, and a place to play basketball and volleyball.
She said the club has helped her become more sociable, do better at school and make friends.
"Without the club, I would probably be in town getting into trouble and with my dad not knowing where I was," Jessica said. "Because that is what I used to do."

PHEBA ŌĆō Hebron Christian (5-3; 3-0 District 7-A) is holding a three-game winning streak and looks to continue the momentum against Friendship Christian Academy in its final non-district home game of the regular season at 7:30 p.m. tonight on the campus of Hebron Christian School.
West Point has trailed at halftime three times during the first four district contests. When losing at halftime, the Green Wave has faced a combined deficit of 64-14 and has lost two of the three games.
That luck changed against Lake Cormorant in week eight as West Point used a major comeback to clinch its second district win, 24-21, after falling behind in the first two quarters, 21-0.

ELON — Eastern Alamance's boys' lacrosse team entered Friday night's game against host
That goal was accomplished, as the Eagles edged the Warriors 6-5 in Conference 6 action.
This means the Eagles will be playing next Friday night in the first round.
"(This) was one of those tough, grind it out wins," said
Western Alamance played with a lot of emotion, as six seniors were honored on Senior Night before the game.
"We knew that it would be a battle," Aguilar said. "The last two years, Western has beaten us on our Senior Night. We knew they would be riding high on emotion, so we knew it was important to come out ready to play."
The Eagles indeed came out ready to play, knowing that the Warriors (10-5, 7-5) were fired up. Eastern Alamance pressured
The defensive battle that was the first half turned into an aggressive and exciting game in the third period. Both teams scored two goals in the frame. The Warriors cut the two-goal halftime deficit in half when Ray's rocket shot found the net after just 1:11 of play.
But Robinson countered with a goal 15 seconds later. Less than a minute later, Stump's first goal gave the Eagles a 5-2 lead. The Warriors' David Hayes scored with just more than six minutes left in the period to make it 5-3.
"We came together as a team," said Stump, who scored his second goal of the game with just less than a minute to go to give the Eagles a 6-4 lead. "We're a bunch of friends out here, but we come together at game time."
"Our goalie (Matt O'Connor) made a lot of great saves. We were able to ice it at the end. Now, we're ready to play in the playoffs, and hopefully we can get a playoff win."
First-year Western Alamance coach Josh Coats said: "We made it a little dicey at the end, and it's a tough way to go out. But, I'm extremely proud of my guys. I have a great group of guys, and they played hard. The seniors showed a lot of pride, and left a nice footprint on that field."
Max Coleman scored the final Western Alamance goal with 25 seconds remaining for the final margin.

Every fall, North Central College head cross country coach Al Carius invites in alumni to discuss the history of the program and fire up his current athletes. While the alumni speak of past championships, Carius hands out the candy cane striped jerseys that have become the trademark of the Cardinals.
The striped jerseys date to 1968, two years after Carius took over as the head cross country coach at the small private school in Naperville, Ill., west of Chicago. "I wanted the guys to stand out at our meets," he explains. "The whole reason I got the striped jerseys was so when the gun went off, our guys could see each other and people knew who we were. Then it just became a tradition."
Tradition indeed. Since the first NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships in 1973, North Central has produced 13 national titles, 13 runner-up finishes, and five third-place finishes, plus 97 All-Americans, seven individual national champions and countless conference championships.
While many would chalk up North Central's success to the workouts and wisdom of the 69-year-old Carius, the legendary coach thinks otherwise. To him, it's all about encouraging young, committed runners of all abilities to improve to the next level. That might sound simplistic, but it's not easy to execute year after year at a strong academic school that doesn't offer scholarships.
"The concern of a collegiate coach, in my opinion, is finding people who want to run, who like to run, who have a passion to run," Carius says. "If you don't have a culture that fosters that, then you're going to lose people, and you're not going to succeed as a program."
Division III distance running success has literally become synonymous with Carius' name. The U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association created the Al Carius Program of the Year Award during the 2008-2009 academic year, an honor annually given to the NCAA Division III men's cross country/track and field program with the highest average finish at the three national championships. The Cardinals' sweep of the championships last school year brought the award home to its namesake.
Occasionally, however, even the great ones fall. After a second-place NCAA finish in 2004, the leadership from within that had kept the Cardinals on top started to slip. As the season progressed, Carius sensed a shift in culture, but with decades of success behind the program, he figured the program would rejuvenate itself.
Instead, North Central fell to 12th in 2005, 13th in 2006 and 16th in 2007. Prior to that, the school had finished out of the top four at nationals only once. Team members and coaches were struggling, while the proud alumni of the program started to wonder whether Carius had lost his touch.
"Some guys wanted to be associated with the team, but didn't want to contribute, didn't want to put in the hard work," says Carius, a two-time Big Ten cross country champion as an undergrad at Illinois. "You can't force it on someone. You have to find people that have that passion, and build around that attitude. I allowed it to happen and lowered the standards of what excellence is in our program."

Kroger's announcement Tuesday that it is purchasing Harris Teeter Supermarkets reportedly won't affect plans for a grocery-anchored shopping center in south Gastonia.
What will influence that proposal is a Gastonia City Council meeting Tuesday, July 16. The city must approve a rezoning request for the new development to go through.
MPV Real Estate of Charlotte, a go-to developer for Harris Teeter, has 20 acres under contract near the intersection of Robinwood and Kendrick roads. It needs the city to rezone a portion of the land to allow construction of a 120,000-square-foot shopping center, which it says would be anchored by a 53,000-square-foot Harris Teeter.
Tuesday morning, Cincinnati-based Kroger unveiled its decision to buy its Matthews-based rival for $2.44 billion. Harris Teeter operates 212 stores in eight states from Delaware to Florida, and Washington, D.C.
But officials said there are no plans to close stores or lay off workers, and the Harris Teeter brand — as well as its management team in Matthews — will remain in place.
Together, the two brands will operate 2,631 stores in 34 states and the nation's capital, and will have 368,300 employees, Kroger said in announcing the deal.
MPV Real Estate Managing Partner Steve Vermillion said Tuesday's news will have no effect on the plans in Gastonia. The Harris Teeter name and reputation is so strong — especially in its core region of North Carolina, Virginia and Washington, D.C. — that Kroger would be "crazy" to give it up, he said.
"It would be like changing the Coke name," he said. "If anything, my sense is they'd be more likely to change Kroger to Harris Teeter in some markets."
The sale should enlarge Kroger's capital base and allow the Harris Teeter footprint to expand, Vermillion said.
Hefty debate to come Tuesday
Not everyone is happy about the shopping center proposal along Robinwood Road. Some have warned the city there is no guarantee Harris Teeter would end up being the grocery anchor.
Vermillion said it's customary for developers such as MPV to oversee rezoning requests, before the eventual tenant steps into the limelight. He has said he would agree to the city requiring a Harris Teeter to open on the property as a condition of the rezoning.
Since MPV unveiled the shopping center proposal in March, the question of whether it will be approved has been hanging in limbo. A number of residents don't want any type of development on that land due to concerns about additional traffic.
Opponents hired a local attorney and filed a protest petition to prevent the rezoning. During a May 9 meeting of the Gastonia Planning Commission, almost 100 spectators packed into two rooms at City Hall to engage in a debate about the project. Some attendants were turned away by a fire marshal.
A motion to oppose the rezoning failed 5-3, meaning a majority of the planning commission favored it.
City Council was slated to take up the issue last month, but it tabled the discussion and will instead hold a public hearing Tuesday. Mayor John Bridgeman has said will not vote because he has business ties to the land in question.
Because of the protest petition, the rezoning cannot pass with a simple majority of support from the six City Council members, said City Attorney Ash Smith. A vote of 5-1 would approve it, but if two council members vote 'no,' the rezoning request will fail.

Who: Gastonia City Council
What: Public hearing to consider a rezoning request for a Harris Teeter-anchored shopping center along Robinwood and Kendrick roads

Lawmakers, State officials tangle over Libya raid
Thursday - 12/20/2012, 4:47pm EST
By MATTHEW LEE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The State Department on Thursday acknowledged major weaknesses in security and errors in judgment exposed in a scathing independent report on the deadly Sept. 11 assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya. Two top State officials appealed to Congress to fully fund requests to ensure diplomats and embassies are safe.
Testifying before two congressional committees, senior State Department officials admitted that serious management and leadership failures left the diplomatic mission in Benghazi woefully unprepared for the terrorist attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
"We clearly fell down on the job with regard to Benghazi," Deputy Secretary of State William Burns told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Earlier, before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Burns said: "We learned some very hard and painful lessons in Benghazi. We are already acting on them. We have to do better."
Burns and Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides testified in place of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was under doctor's orders to stay home and recover from a concussion she suffered last week. Burns and Nides reiterated Clinton's written acceptance of the panel's report and vowed to implement each of its 29 recommendations.
The White House on Thursday also made its first comment on the damning findings of the report. Spokesman Jay Carney said that what happened in Benghazi was "clearly unacceptable," and that problems had to be fixed.
The report found that "`systematic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels" of the State Department meant that security was "inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place."
The Senate hearing provided an odd scene because the committee chairman, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., is the top candidate to replace Clinton as secretary of state in President Barack Obama's second-term Cabinet. Kerry presided at the hearing, but asked no questions of officials who could be his future employees.
In an opening statement, Kerry said the department had "clear warning signs" of a deteriorating security situation before the attack. He also faulted Congress for failing to provide sufficient money to protect facilities worldwide, forcing the department to scramble to cover security costs.
The State Department is seeking about $1.4 billion in next year's budget for increased security; the money would come primarily from funds that haven't been spent in Iraq. That would include $553 million for 35 more Marine Security Guard units, $130 million for 155 diplomatic security agents and $376 million for security upgrades and construction at new embassies.
Since the attack, Democrats have complained that Republicans cut $300 million from the Obama administration's budget request of $2.6 billion for diplomatic and embassy security this year. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., pointed out that the House balked at cutting money for U.S. military bands, which was about $388 million.
"We need to get our priorities straight around here, and we can't walk away and invite another tragedy, and as much as people like to say, `Well it's not the money,' it's the money," Boxer said. "You can't protect a facility without the funding."
Nides, who is in charge of State Department management, agreed.
"Obviously, part of this is about resources," he said. "We must equip our people with what they need to deliver results safely."
But the chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., noted that "budget constraints were not a factor in the department's failure" to recognize the threat. She suggested that if diplomats were so badly in need of resources, they should spend less on programs dealing with global warming and creative diplomacy and more on security.
Meanwhile, the volatility of Benghazi was underscored on Thursday when four people were killed when a protest outside a base for Libyan security forces turned violent, according to an official there. On Sunday, four policemen were shot dead when militants attacked the same security compound in Benghazi.
The State Department's diplomatic security budget increased from about $200 million in 1998 to $1.8 billion in 2008, according to the Government Accountability Office. Much of that has gone into physical upgrades at embassies and consulates to meet specifications adopted after the deadly 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
Yet the GAO said in November that the bulk of the growth has been reactive in places like Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. It also said there had been little long-range strategic planning, which has made it difficult for the diplomatic security bureau to do its job in an efficient and comprehensive way.

About Drake
Drake takes on Lil Wayne (09/28/14)
It's being billed as "Drake vs. Lil Wayne," in reference to the rappers' tour currently working its way across the country. The 31-date, co-headlining venture, which kicked off August 8 at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Darien Center, New York, will have played to more than two dozen amphitheaters, stadiums and bowls before wrapping September 27 at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Woodland, Texas.
By the time you read this, those shows (along with all the Lil Wayne and Drake tickets) will be long gone, but the performances won't be forgotten. Making headlines along the way was their joint performance at the Hollywood Bowl on September 22 that draw more media attention than any other stop along the way. It even sparked a USA Today FTW (ForTheWin) piece announcing "5 reasons you should be devastated you missed Drake and Lil Wayne."
What made the tour work was not just the premise of competition between two of music's biggest stars. Fans were drawn to the interactive elements, including a first, second and final round 'smartphone battle' modeled after the popular video game "Street Fighter" to see who would perform first. There were also plenty of cool, rendered comic book visuals featuring both rappers as heroes in a woven tale about master versus pupil. And then of course there was the concert itself, where both artists pulled from the catalog of hits to perform songs old and new.
Did Drake vs. Lil Wayne manage to distinguish itself from other big name duos on tour this summer? (namely Jay Z and Beyonce and Eminem and Rihanna) Based on the reaction from fans and critics, the safe answer may be "yes." And even if it didn't, it sent fans away knowing a new album from Lil Wayne drops next month. Inevitably, the song "Believe Me" included on the album features an appearance by who else? Drake.
11/24/13: Life has been one big party lately for Drake, as evidenced by the massive bash he threw for himself and 18,000 of his closest friends recently at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. The stop, part of his "Would You Like a Tour?" tour was one rousing celebration of success and featured many of the crooner's hits like "Pop That," "Headlines," "No Lie," "I'm the One," "Started from the Bottom" and "Versace."
All in all, it's been a good year for Drake. He released the third single off his third studio album a week before the 55th Grammy Awards. At the show he took home the award for Best Rap Album for "Take Care" and announced his third studio album would be titled "Nothing Was the Same." A month later, he premiered a song off the album titled "5 AM in Toronto," a sequel to the "Thank Me Later" track "9 AM in Dallas." A music video came next, and two more songs followed called "No New Friends" and "Girls Love Beyonce."
Drake is currently in the midst of a 41-date North American tour with support from Miguel and Future that will wrap up December 16. He also just announced that in early 2014 he'll head across the Atlantic for 11 dates with The Weekend, starting March 1 in Stockholm and also hitting up Glasgow and Oslo before culminating with a two-night stand in London on March 24-25. Drake was one of the biggest champions of The Weekend back in 2011, but rumors began surfacing the two were embroiled in some kind of feud. It was July before they reassured everyone there was no tension between them, and soon after Drake appeared on The Weekend's commercial debut album.
4/10/13: Two-thousand-and-twelve was a good year for 26-year-old rapper Drake. After a massively successful global tour, as well as a slew of hits and awards, the rapper's career is seemingly unstoppable. So far in 2013 he's already released three new singles from his upcoming third album, "Nothing Was the Same," including "Started From the Bottom," the accompanying video for which features the rapper riding around the snow in a convertible and flying around in a private jet over Toronto. Standard fare for the multi-talented rapper, who not only pens tracks for artists like Alicia Keys and Jamie Foxx, but is also credited with creating the now-famous acronym "YOLO." Besides his adventures in rapping, you can also catch Drake on the big screen. Last year marked the return to his acting roots when he voiced the character of Ethan in "Ice Age 4: Continental Drift," and he was also on the small screen for a brief appearance on MTV's Punk'd.
Imagine being just 20 years old, a relative unknown on the music scene and having the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne throwing their support behind you. That's the story of Toronto, Ontario native Drake (born Aubrey Drake Graham), who stepped away from an acting career in 2006 to pursue his passion for music full time.The rapper and singer, known for playing Jimmy Brooks on the television series Degrassi: The Next Generation, opened eyes and ears within the music industry with the release of multiple mixtapes. The most successful was 'So Far Gone,' which would spawn an EP and open plenty of doors for the young Canadian. He signed a recording contract with Young Money Entertainment in 2009 and had a smash single out of the box with 'Best I Ever Had,' followed by the moderate hit 'Successful.' A first studio album, 'Thank Me Later,' bowed on June 15, 2010 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Two successful singles, 'Over' and 'Find Your Love,' would prove to be the precursor to a second studio project, 'Take Care,' on November 15, 2011. It topped the charts in the U.S. and Canada and produced the smash hits 'Headlines,' 'Take Care' and 'The Motto.' Drake's global tour, 'Club Paradise', has been the most successful hip-hop tour of 2012, grossing over $42 million worldwide inside of two months. It opened on Monday, May 7 at the Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord, California and wrapped the North American leg on June 20 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Drake also played the Openair Frauenfeld in Switzerland and the Wireless Festival in London, England on July 7.

Carlisle woman stole £8,000 from friend, 87, she was meant to be looking after
Last updated at 14:31, Friday, 30 March 2012
A woman who stole more than £8,000 from the bank account of a pensioner she was supposed to be looking after has been jailed.
Dawn Ballantyne, 48, of Sewell Road, Currock, Carlisle, raided the account of Agnes Ullyart, over a five-year period.
The pair had been neighbours for more than 25 years.
But when Mrs Ullyart's daughter moved away, Ballantyne stepped in to help the 87-year-old woman.
Carlisle Crown Court was told Ballantyne used the money to supplement her income but never told her family what she was doing.
Prosecutor Rod Halligan said: "Mrs Ullyart suffered a minor stroke in 2004 which left her with some problems with her legs and she couldn't move around properly. She needed some assistance.
"Up until 2005, Mrs Ullyart was looked after by her daughter but when she moved away the family approached the defendant who had been a trusted neighbour for 25 years and asked her if she would help.
"In return for her help – collecting Mrs Ullyart's pension and doing her shopping and cleaning – the defendant was paid £50-a-week. The problem arose in November 2010, when Mrs Ullyart's daughter asked if there were any bank statements from her mother's account.
"Ballantyne said she had not received any statements from Mrs Ullyart's Post Office account for a long time.
Inquiries were made and the Post Office said statements had been sent out every three months.
"When the account was examined it emerged that extra money had been taken out."
Ballantyne admitted stealing cash from Mrs Ullyart at an earlier court appearance.
Defence counsel Andrew Ford said: "My client is very, very sorry for what she has done. She was the victim's close friend and neighbour and was a very good physical help to her – shopping and dressing her which makes the breach of trust even worse.
"When she needed extra cash she topped herself up using money from Mrs Ullyart's account. It's dreadful and dishonest. It was an abuse of their relationship rather than the deliberate targeting of an unknown victim.
"The defendant fell on hard times after she was made redundant from a fish and chip shop.
"She did not lead a luxurious life by way of these extra means."
Sentencing Ballantyne to eight months in jail, Recorder Harry Narayan said: "This was a theft from a vulnerable lady over a long period of time – five years – and that is the aggravating feature."

Because everyone knows "curry" is a noun, not a verb.
"Carry favor" gets some false positives, but "carry favor with" gets 456 Google hits, and "carry favour with" 821, which look pretty genuine.
We've had a couple o posts on "curry flavor:"
http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … hp?id=1631
http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … hp?id=2641
This is the first mention, I think, of "carry favor." Seems like it might be an eggcorn.
I can't find it listed as a standard variant in any dictionary, but people have been making
this particular reshaping for a while.
Here it is in a 1799 book at Google Books.
This 1912 New York Times article uses it, oddly enough, in a story about horse-racing.
I would have thought the word "curry" would be better known in that context.
Finally, here's another Google Books one, from a 2003 book.
So it's made its way into print a number of times, and I guess some copyeditors see nothing wrong with it.
"Courage favor" for "curry favor" may also be possible. I can't find an example on the web, though, that isn't in a transcript. The expanded "encourage favour," however, does serve as an occasional replacement for "curry favor."
: "I can't start living my life for the media or to encourage favor with everybody."
: "You may build a large army and encourage favor with the generals by paying them well (perhaps even the occasional bri…err… bonus)."
: " I have transcended the need for wealth and power by donating my savings to the Mahariji's trust and don't feel the need to encourage favour with my superiors."

Why Choose RCN Over the Other Cable Companies in Boston
Whether Uptown or Downtown, people are asking, "Where can I get great cable service in my area for an affordable price?" When searching the answer, there are many factors to consider. While we all want to save money, no one wants services from a cheap cable company. Chicagoans know they need quality digital cable services and understand the importance of staying on budget. Cable providers in the Chicago-area who boast the lowest prices lack the most basic features most people expect and have hidden costs and fees that can send your checking account into the red. Other Chicago-area cable providers have the desired features, but at exorbitant costs. Why choose RCN Chicago for digital cable over other television cable services in town? Because the only thing White Sox and Cubs fans can agree on is that RCN Chicago is the cable provider with the most comprehensive and affordable features in town.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Miami University women's basketball team overcame a 17-point second half deficit to send the game against Western Michigan into overtime, but the RedHawks' shot went cold in the extra session as the Broncos came away with an 86-75 victory on Wednesday. Miami falls to 5-12 on the season and 1-5 in the Mid-American Conference. WMU improves to 8-9 overall and 4-2 in the MAC.
With 3.8 seconds to go, Western Michigan's Alex Morton hit 1-for-2 from the free throw line to give the Broncos a 73-70 lead. After a timeout, sophomore forward Hannah McCue threw a half court inbounds pass to freshman guard Jillian Spurlock. Spurlock found junior guard Kindsay Brandt on the right wing. She took a couple of dribbles and passed the ball to senior guard Hannah Robertson who took a three from behind the right baseline. She nailed it at the buzzer to send the game into an extra frame.
It was part of a strong all-around game for Hannah Robertson. She finished with her first career double-double, recording 15 points and a career-high 12 rebounds. She also had three steals and an assist in 29 minutes of action.
Spurlock also was a star on Wednesday. She finished with a career-high 22 points on 6-for-11 shooting. She was a perfect 8-for-8 from the line. Spurlock also contributed three assists and two steals in 33 minutes of action.
Senior guard Haley Robertson hit an opening jumper, while Hannah Robertson hit three early free throws, but Western Michigan opened up an 11-5 lead to begin the game. Back-to-back three-pointers from Spurlock and sophomore forward Jessica Rupright got the Miami offense going, while a jumper by junior guard Kindsay Brandt pulled the 'Hawks to within one at 16-15 with 10:58 remaining in the first half.
Both teams traded three-point buckets with Brandt and junior guard Courtney Larson each hitting one for the Red and White to make it 22-21 in favor of WMU with 8:44 to go. A 10-4 run over the next five minutes gave the Broncos a seven-point advantage. Spurlock drained a triple to stop the bleeding, but Western Michigan answered with a 9-0 run to go in front, 41-28. A layup from Rupright and a coast-to-coast layup that just beat the buzzer by Brandt made it a little closer and sent the RedHawks into the break trailing, 41-32.
The Broncos shot 14-for-28 (50.0 percent) during the first half, while Miami was 10-for-30 (33.3 percent). The RedHawks were 5-for-9 (55.6 percent) from behind the arc. Spurlock led MU with 10 points.
Miami was only able to manage a tip-in basket by freshman forward Nicole Anderson and a free throw by Haley Robertson in the first seven minutes of the second half. Western Michigan took advantage by going on a 10-3 run that gave it its largest lead at 52-35 with 13:12 to go.
Back-to-back buckets from Hannah Robertson and Spurlock began the Red and White's comeback. Rupright and Hannah Robertson each hit shots to cut the lead to eight at 52-44. Spurlock was then fouled making a layup. She connected on the free throw to make it a five-point game. On the 'Hawks next possession, Spurlock hit another layup to make it a 14-0 run and cut the Bronco lead to 52-49 with 9:28 to go.
WMU was able to push the advantage back to seven and it kept it in the four-to-seven point range over the next three minutes. A tip-in by senior center Kelsey Simon cut the lead to two at 62-60 with 4:29 to go, but the Broncos answered with a three-pointer. Hannah Robertson drove for a layup to make it 65-62, and a minute later drained a three-pointer to tie the score at 65 at the 2:44 mark.
An old-fashioned three-point play put Western Michigan back in front. Simon answered with a tip-in, but a pair of Bronco free throws made it 70-67 with 1:12 to go. Simon hit a free throw of her own, but two more free throws from WMU gave it a 72-68 advantage with 16 seconds remaining. Brandt put in a layup with seven seconds to go to cut it to two, and the RedHawks immediately fouled Morton. She hit 1-for-2 from the line, which allowed Hannah Robertson to drain that tying three-pointer to send the game into overtime.
Miami outscored Western Michigan, 41-32, in the second half. The RedHawks had a huge shot disparity during the frame, finishing 16-for-41 (39.0 percent), while holding the Broncos to 6-for-18 (33.3 percent) shooting. MU had 15 offensive rebounds in the period, leading to several second chance opportunities.
The RedHawks shot went cold during the overtime period as they were only able to manage a pair of free throws by Spurlock. WMU fed the ball inside to sophomore forward Miracle Woods and sophomore guard A.J. Johnson during the extra session. They were able to convert as the Broncos pulled away for the 86-75 win.
Miami finished the game 26-for-77 (33.8 percent) from the field, while Western Michigan was 24-for-53 (45.3 percent). The Broncos finished the game 32-for-39 (82.1 percent) to help put the game away.
In addition to Spurlock and Hannah Robertson's performances, Brandt was also in double figures with 14 points. Anderson had six rebounds, while Spurlock and McCue each had four assists. Miami outrebounded WMU, 45-39, and had a season-high 25 offensive rebounds. Woods led Western Michigan with a double-double of 31 points and 12 rebounds.
The RedHawks return to action on Saturday when they host Kent State for Alumnae Day at 2 p.m. Tim Bray has the call and it can be heard live on WMOH, and seen on Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription. The Alumnae game at 10 a.m. is also open to the public.

Repeating something multiple times for emphasis and a sticky caps lock don't replace the need for an actual reasoned argument. I personally hope that we are able to establish monastic sanghas in the West. However, for the purpose of discussion here it may help if you explain why you believe it is a necessity rather than just promote your website.

Tampa Bay Lightning (45-27-9) at Washington Capitals (38-30-13), 3 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Tampa Bay Lightning will try to head into the
postseason with a fourth straight victory as they visit the Washington
Capitals on Sunday afternoon.
The Lightning are set to battle the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of
the playoffs and Friday's 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets put Tampa
Bay a point ahead of the Habs for second place in the Atlantic Division.
However, Montreal closed out its regular season with an overtime victory
against the New York Rangers on Saturday, putting the Canadiens back into
second place by a point.
Montreal also owns the tiebreaker over Tampa Bay with two more non-shootout
victories, so the Lightning need two points today to host the upcoming playoff
Defenseman Eric Brewer scored twice and Ondrej Palat notched a power-play goal
versus the Blue Jackets to push his point streak to six straight games. Palat
has four goals and eight points over that run.
With starting goaltender Ben Bishop out with an upper-body injury and his
status for the first round unknown, head coach Jon Cooper opted to give
Kristers Gudlevskis the start on Friday in case the 21-year-old is needed to
back up Anders Lindback in the postseason.
Gudlevskis made his NHL debut a successful one with 36 saves.
"He won. To me, that's how I judge goaltenders. Win the game and that's just
what he did," said Cooper of Gudlevskis. "That was as entertaining hockey as
we have seen here in awhile."
Gudlevskis has seen plenty of action across multiple platforms this season. He
has spent time playing in the ECHL, AHL and also made a name for himself
during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia with Team Latvia, which
nearly pulled off an upset of Team Canada.
In addition to Bishop, Valtteri Filppula (lower body) and Teddy Purcell (flu)
sat out Friday's game, while defenseman Victor Hedman exited early due to a
lower-body issue.
The Capitals also are rolling with four straight victories, but that surge
comes after an 0-3-2 slump that knocked Washington out of the postseason race.
The Caps still came to work on Friday versus the Chicago Blackhawks and
notched a 4-0 victory, with Jaroslav Halak posting a 34-save shutout.
Halak picked up his fifth shutout of the season and first since being acquired
from the Buffalo Sabres. He has 30 shutouts in his career and snapped a
personal five-game slide.
Alex Ovechkin added his league-leading 51st goal, Jay Beagle scored twice and
Nicklas Backstrom lit the lamp for Washington.
"I told the guys when we found out it was over that part of their job as a
professional is to play as hard as you can," Capitals coach Adam Oates said.
"Do it for yourselves, and do it for the people who paid to come watch you
play. You owe them."
Ovechkin and Backstrom both added an assist and Ovechkin is on the verge of
claiming his second straight Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy and fourth of his
career as the league's leading goal scorer.
"It's pretty hard to be mentally ready for these types of games because you
are out of the playoffs and the season is over in one more game, but we play
for the fans," Ovechkin said. "They came to see us and they want to see the
game and they want to see nice play."
Washington center Marcus Johansson sustained an upper-body injury in the
second period on Friday and did not return.
The Capitals will try to sweep their three-game season series with the
Lightning and beat the club for the sixth time in a row.
Washington has won six straight and 17 of the past 20 meetings at home against
its former division rival.
Lightning forward Ryan Malone was not set to travel to Washington after
getting arrested early Saturday morning on charges of possession of cocaine
and driving under the influence.
Malone, who has not been in the lineup the past three games, has five goals
and 10 assists in 57 games this season.

wanted to be able to clean the deck because the grass is usually damp when I cut (early morning) and always ends up sticking to the mower deck. Kit came with nice sharp drill bits. Took only about 15 minutes to drill & install. The 1st time I connected the hose to the unit & turned the water on, started leaking all over the TOP of the deck. Now, the water pressure at my house is average at best. This thing shouldn't be leaking the way it is. I installed a similar product in the Black Water tank of my RV. From the day I installed it to 7 years later, never leaked one single drop! Reading the reviews here, others complained about the leaking, and I figured maybe, maybe they installed it wrong. I was wrong. Should have taken the advise and bought another brand. Now, I am stuck with a brand new LEAKING deck wash kit. Lovely! Beware and good luck with this one to anyone else that buys it.

It works great. Always had trouble with grass and dirt build up. Installed the Deck Wash and it worked great. Easy to install. Put adapter on hose and thats it. I like to keep my Craftsman tractor nice and clean. This is awesome for the underside of the deck.

Does not fit properly on any MTD/.247.******sourced tractor. I was sold this by a sears sales person and it fits like **** and leaks all over the top of the mower deck. Go to ***** most of them sell the proper MTD kit for $17 and change. Save youself the misery. I don't know what it does fit but it's not MTD and it's going back to the store.

Bought this to replace the original on my 50" rider deck. First one lasted about 4 years. Broke when removing the hose QD. Should have lubed the cast fitting that mounts to the mower. Otherwise happy to find an exact replacement for my Sears riding mower. Just remember to lube it from time to time and it'll keep your deck cleaned with very little effort.

If you just want to tickle the underside with water, then get this. Or you can use the water hose by hand and do it the right way.It may be messy by hand and you have to use some sense safety wise, but it will do the job 95% verse 10% of the cleaning job.
