AN ANTHOLOGY OF NOISE & ELECTRONIC MUSIC: Volume 3 Third a Chronology (dbl)
Quantity in Basket:none
Third in the valuable Sub Rosa edition. The main work of this volume seems to be a proposed connection between early electronic productions evolved under the aegis of contemporary 'classical' music - yes, the terminology is deeply problematic - and recent, mostly computer and sample driven - work that floats unattached to any institution. From the first group there are pieces by Hugh le Caine, Ilhan Mimaroglu, Herbert Eimert, Robert Beyer, Bernard Parmegiani and Michel Chion; from the second Michael Schumacher, Francisco Lopez, Peter Rehberg, Asmus Tietchens, Rune Lindblad , Michael Rother (Kraftwerk), Lilith, Merzbow, Faust and a few sound artists: (Justin Bennet, Carsten Nicolai, CM Von Hausswolf. These are not complete lists, there are 23 pieces featured. A few stand out: Le Caine, Mimaroglu, Schumacher, Einert and Beyer, Faust but it is the sweep across somehow related fields that is useful to a listener trying to orientate in a profligacy of 'electronic' music. For the laptop generation, this will likely be an enjoyable collection, for students of the history of electronic music it should be informative; in any case it's a valuable resource. I still tend to the view that the claim to kinship between these different worlds is problematic and that many essential questions need to be answered before it can be easily accepted. The presence of Faust and Merzbow suggest this, but not deliberately. Perhaps I ask too much. In general this is an admirable and invaluable series.[OFFER. All three Volumes £48]

SWANSBORO — The Town of Swansboro is gearing up for a study that will take a closer look at an issue that impacts anyone doing business or visiting downtown.
The town is partnering with the N.C. Department of Commerce's Office of Urban Development to conduct a study of parking in the downtown business district.
The Board of Commissioners approved a memorandum of agreement with the Office of Urban Development, and a meeting is set for Thursday, Feb. 14, that will kick off work.
The meeting will begin at 1:30 p.m. at town hall to discuss the plans for the study and engage the citizens in the process, town Planner Jennifer Holland said.
The town is looking for volunteers to help identify and map the parking areas and to assist with the parking counts in March, May, July and October.
"What they will be trying to do is identify all available parking in the area, take counts to determine if there is a need for additional areas and make any recommendations," she said.
The counts are to determine parking occupancy at different times of year, days and times.
"We want to know how the downtown parking is being utilized," she said.
While parking is said to be one of the most common complaints for downtown areas, the question is whether more parking is needed or if existing parking can be better managed to meet demand.
For Swansboro, the demand is seasonal.
"During the summer downtown does have a lot of traffic, especially at lunch time," Holland said.
But the parking study will take a closer look at when and where the demand is and make recommendations on what steps may help alleviate problems.
This month's meeting is the first since the town board approved the agreement.
According to a study outline, the work will include a preliminary assessment of downtown parking and existing conditions, including surveys of business owners, employees and customers; occupancy counts by block of all on-street and off-street parking; evaluation of existing demand and estimate of future demand; and recommendations for improvements based on data and observed conditions.
The process is expected to take about nine months.
Town staff and volunteers will assist, and the town will reimburse the Office of Urban Development with expenses.
Anyone interested in volunteering is asked to contact Holland at 910-326-4428, ext. 126.
Contact Daily News reporter Jannette Pippin at 910-382-2557 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Juninho and Marcelo Sarvas "two pieces of the puzzle" for the LA Galaxy ahead of Real Salt Lake match
CARSON, Calif. – There's no doubt that Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane provide the skill and cunning for the LA Galaxy, but in the center of the park beats a Brazilian heart fueled by Juninho and Marcelo Sarvas.
In the latest feature for LAGalaxy.com, I speak to Juninho and Sarvas about their connection ahead of Sunday's Western Conference Semifinal first leg against Real Salt Lake.
"I think that we are doing well [in midfield]. I think that we are responding well to the expectations of the team. We know each other so it's easy. Our relationship outside the field makes everything easy," said Sarvas. "The way that we think about soccer is the same so it's easy to click on the field. In the same way, we're two pieces in this puzzle in a team that everyone is doing well.
Sarvas' energetic style of play has quickly endeared him to teammates and fans alike with Galaxy supporters group LA Riot Squad naming him their player of the year while LAGalaxy.com voters voted him the runner-up to Robbie Keane as the team's MVP.
Although Sarvas' popularity may be hard to understand for outsiders, the Brazilian believes that his style of play allows for such a close relationship with fans.
"I think that with the way that I play and show myself on the field, it's easy for me to make this indent between me and the fans because they are people who have passion for the team before players and everything," said Sarvas. "When they find someone who shows the same passion that they have it is easy. This is the type of player that I am and it's not just here, but it's everywhere they I've been."
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena spoke with local and national media on a conference call on Thursday ahead of this weekend's Western Conference Semifinal first leg against Real Salt Lake.
Arena's comments are below…
(On the development of Omar Gonzalez…)
ARENA: "He's had a solid year with a few injuries. I think that the national team call-ups have been challenging for him. It's hurt his contiguity with our team and as well as with the national team. Those are things that happen with young players in their initial outings with trying to balance their club careers and international careers. It's been challenging for Omar, but I think that as of late, he's gotten his feet on the ground and is ready to go. He's a great person, but it's challenging for anyone and he's gone through experiences throughout the year and now that we're at the end of the year, he's settled in. He's using the experiences to get better as a player and as a person."
(On the differences of the Galaxy since August…)
ARENA: "We're a little bit more consistent on both ends of the field. We were fairly erratic in the first half of the season and solidified ourselves on both ends. Part of the reason is our performance, which has not been as consistent as I'd like, is that we've just had a difficult time this year getting our whole group together for any extended period of time. As of late, we've been able to do that with a little more consistency and it's obviously helped us.
(On the influence of [Gyasi] Zardes and [Jaime] Penedo…)
ARENA: If we were going to play Landon and Robbie as forwards, we had to make the decision of what to do with Gyasi, so we made the decision to play him in midfield. That was big for our team. Penedo has come in and given us more consistency in goal. He's capable of making big saves in games to preserve game. A.J. [DeLaGarza]'s injury has been unfortunate, but I think that the moves have helped us. As well as the fact that we've had Robbie and Landon together as strikers, but during the playoffs, I'd imagine that we'll move that around as well."
(On Real Salt Lake…)
ARENA: As usual they have a very good team and I think that they're solid on every end of the field. Nick Rimando has been an outstanding goalkeeper for them this season as he has been for the last five, six, seven years. [Alvaro] Saborío is an excellent goal scorer for them up front. The midfield of [Javier] Morales, [Kyle] Beckerman, [Ned] Grabavoy, and [Luis] Gil is outstanding. The return of [Chris] Schuler helps them in the back; [Nat] Borchers is an excellent leader for them in the back as is [Chris] Wingert. They've got a nice team and an experienced team. It's a team that is very talented."
(On how important it is to figure things out before the playoffs and get through...)
ARENA: The little that I understand with this thing is that you can't win the MLS Cup unless you're in the tournament, so that's half the battle to start. This year was very competitive from start to finish in the league as we know. It's challenging and I don't know if anyone has the formula for success. It's going to be very competitive. I like the home-at-home leg that we have; it's something new over the last couple of years. The schedule is very awkward, the play-in game could take its toll on some teams because they're going to be a number of games over a period for those teams as well. Every step of the way, it's going to be challenging and this is new territory for everybody. There are a lot of games that are coming quick and the teams that are successful and reach the conference final will have to deal with a long layoff between the first and second legs of the conference final and the MLS Cup final. There are a lot of challenges ahead. It's uncharted waters for everyone so it will be interesting to see how everyone comes out of it. It'll be interesting and challenging for sure."
(On the impact of the international break scheduled in the middle of the postseason...)
ARENA: "It makes it more crowded and more open. I think that it's going to be real difficult for the teams and the team coming out of the semifinals not knowing where they're headed for the next game and waiting for teams to prevail. It's going to be difficult and recovery time is very difficult in this schedule. It's going to be interesting. I don't think anyone knows how it is going to play out."
(On the measure of success of the first leg…)
ARENA: "I don't think that we know the formula for success, but one would think that it would be to start the competition with a win, having said that, we didn't do that last year [in the Conference Semifinals] with the San Jose Earthquakes. Anything goes. It's a 180 minute plus competition right now and if you prevail in the first 90, it doesn't mean that you're going to come out on top after 180 plus minutes. Every step of the way is going to be challenging and it's important that you get off in good form in the first 90 minutes. However, we know from experience that it is not all said and done after 90 minutes."
(On the tactical flexibility that his team has…)
ARENA: "We're playing two games in [five days] and if we prevail than it is three games in seven or eight days then it gets a lot more difficult. That's where there could be changes. And the play-in teams, that's where it can be really difficult. In the beginning, I don't think that anything is different, but as you move on and you have a lot of games with a lot of travel, it'll be challenging. We'll have to see players and how they're doing and make decisions based on that."
CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Keane has stated a firm case for the 2013 MLS MVP, but will the Irishman win the award once he it is announced in December?
Despite missing time with injury and international duty, Keane tallied 16 goals and 11 assists this season for the Galaxy in just 22 games played. Keane was one of just two players in MLS –Portland Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri being the other—who tallied double digit goals and assists this season.
Although his numbers are high, the impact that he has when he is on the field is even greater. In his 22 games played, the Galaxy tallied a 12-7-4 record with Keane on the field while going 3-8-0 without him.
So is Robbie Keane the MLS MVP?
BRUCE ARENA: "I would think so. Not to be belittle anyone else's performance, but to me, Robbie has been the best player in the league. His numbers prove that in terms of his goal production and in terms of the team success. The numbers tell you that when he's on the field, we're clearly a better team. It's his ability, his spirit, his leadership."
LANDON DONOVAN: "I think that it's hard to argue that he shouldn't be. I would say that Mike [Magee] has been the most valuable player to any team in MLS, but it's hard to select a player whose team didn't make the playoffs as MVP. That being said, I think that everyone in this locker room knows the impact that Mike has and what he's done for Chicago. Robbie has been terrific from game one and again scored a goal [on Sunday] that meant so much for us. I think it'db be hard to argue that he's not MVP. This year he's taken a lot more leadership and he's just a battler. When it comes to game time, he's competitive and he's carried us through a lot of situations and he's been fantastic. He's the most clever player in the league. …I don't think that I've ever played with a forward that creates that many chances in a game. It's remarkable what he does in every game."
TODD DUNIVANT: "He's got a great case for it. There's probably two on this team who are the top two in the league in Mike and Robbie Keane. For 23 games, he's scored 16 goals with 11 assists so it's a goal or an assist per game and that's crazy. With what Mike has done in Chicago was incredible. He came within a hair of winning the golden boot and really turned that team around into one that was an inch from the playoffs. I think those are your two front runners. He's a difference maker for us. He's our captain and we need him out there."
OMAR GONZALEZ: "For sure. He's been great for our team and he's played a lot less games than the other guys who are considered MVP candidates. He's scored a lot of goals for us and he's gotten us a lot of points. He's been a great leader on this team and he helps us get ready and pumped up for games. …He's just has this fighting personality. He just gets us ready. He's got spirit and when he speaks –and the way that he speaks with that accent—gets us all ready to play."
DAVE SARACHAN: "I'm biased, but I would say yes. With the number of starts and the amount of production that he's had when he's been involved with us, for me, scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in our sport and not only does he score goals, but he creates so much every time he's out there. When you put it out together, he's the most valuable player. You throw in all ingredients of what a top pro does as far as intangibles, but as far as the tangibles—the movement, the activity on the field, and the cunning [nature] with how he creates space and works with partners—he's got all the attributes to make it difficult for him to be bottled. Because he's Robbie Keane, it's harder [to produce] and there is a target on his back every time that we play. "
And then there were four in the Western Conference.
Seattle Sounders FC defeated the Colorado Rapids 2-0 at CenturyLink Field on Wednesday to qualify for the Western Conference Semifinals for the fifth consecutive season. Brad Evans put Seattle ahead in the 28th minute before Eddie Johnson doubled the lead in the third minute of second half stoppage time to set up a Cascadia Semifinal match between the Sounders and the Portland Timbers.
The Sounders didn't leave the match unscathed, however, as right back DeAndre Yedlin suffered a sprain right ankle injury that forced him to exit at the half. Yedlin's status may be in doubt for Saturday, but goalkeeper Michael Gspurning will not take part after being shown a straight red by referee Silviu Petrescu for catching a clearance outside the penalty area. Former U.S. international Marcus Hahnemann will serve as the Sounders goalkeeper for the first leg on Saturday at CenturyLink Field.
The second leg will take place on Nov. 7 at JELD-WEN Field.
Only four teams left in the West.

The LA Galaxy's "Quest for Three" straight MLS Cups is the main theme as we head into the MLS Cup playoffs, but as they attempt to do something that has never been done before in MLS, let's look at some of the threepeats from major sports across the world.
Check out this infographic of teams that won consecutive titles across the globe:
Threepeats by the numbers:
*ZERO – The number of threepeats in MLS history.
*ONE—The margin of point victory during the final three titles for FC Barcelona's famed "Dream Team" which won four consecutive La Liga titles from 1990-91 to 1993-94. The last three titles were each won on the last day of the season.
*THREE – The number of NBA Final MVPs won by Shaquille O'Neal during the Los Angeles Lakers threepeat from 2000 to 2002.
*FOUR – The number of threepeats or more titles for Real Madrid, who have pulled off the feat more than any team in a major league across the world. Madrid have won the La Liga title 32 times.
*4-2-4—The formation of the Il Grande Torino side that won five titles in the forties. This was the first time that such an attacking formation had been used in global football. In the midst of their run, however, the bulk of the team was killed in the Superga air disaster.
*SEVEN – The number of World Series titles by New York Yankees managers Casey Stengel and Joe McCarthy, which is a major league baseball record. Both managers led the Yankees to consecutive titles.
* EIGHT –The number of consecutive titles for the Boston Celtics, which is the longest streak in American professional sport history. During the time, the Celtics were led by legendary head coach Red Auerbach and Bill Russell.
*TEN – The number of regular season losses during UCLA Men's Basketball head coach John Wooden's unprecedented seven consecutive NCAA titles between 1964 and 1976. During that span, UCLA lost more than two games only once—coming in 1975 when they lost three games. Wooden won 10 titles in 12 years.
*22—The number of titles won during the era of Liverpool FC from 1974 to 1984. Bob Paisley won two straight league titles from 1982 to 1983 before Joe Fagan completed the triple in 1984 after Paisley stepped down.
*19 – the number of consecutive series victories by New York Islanders as they won four straight Stanley Cup titles in the 1980s. The Islanders would win 16 consecutive playoff series, but moved their record to 19 in 1984 when they fell to the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup final to fall short of five straight.
*20.9—George Miken's average points per game while leading the Minneapolis Lakers to the NBA's first ever threepeat.
*22 --The number of goals scored by Internazionale's Diego Milito in Inter's 2009-10 season as he sealed the team's third straight Serie A title.
*25—The percentage of Stanley Cup titles won by the Montreal Canadiens since 1914. The Habs won five straight titles from 1956-60 and four in 1976-79.
*33.6—Michael Jordan's points per game during the NBA Finals. Jordan won six NBA titles with two threepeats.
*66—The Number of goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo during Manchester United's latest three-peat from 2006-07 to 2008-09.
*88—The number of goals scored by Lionel Messi during FC Barcelona's La Liga threepeat from 2008-09 to 2010-11.
*92—The number of appearances for David Beckham as Manchester United completed the club's first ever threepeat in 1998-99 to 2000-01. During that span, Beckham scored four goals for Manchester United.
*126 – The goal difference for Arsenal during their threepeat from 1932-33 to 1934-35. Arsenal's threepeat was the second ever occurrence in The Football League with Huddlesfield Town pulling off the feat from 1923-24 to 1925-26.
*300—The number for amount of bonus money offered by Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley to members of his "Swingin' A's" sides in the 1970s that were the only team not named the New York Yankees to win three straight World Series titles.
We've got the date of the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinal between the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake.
RSL announced late on Tuesday that the match will take place on Thursday, November 7 at 6 p.m. PT on ESPN2, giving the teams just three days to prepare between matches.

Tuesday Notes: David Beckham still eyeing Miami for MLS expansion franchise, Rennie dismissed by Vancouver
CARSON, Calif. – The clock is ticking ahead of the LA Galaxy's match against Real Salt Lake this weekend, but there was considerable movement in North American soccer on Tuesday.
*Former LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham has selected Miami as the location that he'd like to exercise his option to become an MLS owner according to the Associated Press. However according the Miami Herald, the move is not set in stone, but is "looking promising."
*LA's opponent in the Western Conference Semifinals Real Salt Lake locked down a new jersey sponsor with Sandy, Utah-based LifeVantage Corp. signing a 10-year, multimillion dollar deal. The LifeVantage logo will be on the front of RSL's kits at the start of the 2014 season.
*Vancouver Whitecaps FC dismissed Martin Rennie as head coach after a 13-12-9 MLS regular season that saw the 'Caps fall short of the postseason while also failing to win the Canadian Championship. In a press conference on Tuesday, club President Bob Lenarduzzi stated that the team is interested in former San Jose Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop.
CARSON, Calif. – Back from injury and feeling healthy, Robbie Rogers is beginning to progress into a genuine option for LA head coach Bruce Arena, but to get over the hump, he'll need to improve in the final third.
Given a chance to start after Pablo Mastroeni suffered a late injury, Rogers went 78 minutes on the right side of the Galaxy midfield in LA's 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders FC last Sunday. The start was Rogers' first league start since July 13 and his second appearance in a week after going 45 minutes in LA's 4-0 defeat to El Salvador's Isidro Metapán in CONCACAF Champions League.
As he aims to regain a consistent starting role with the Galaxy, Rogers admitted that it was
"[The game was] important for me because I haven't played a game like that for a long time, so it's important for my growth and just my development," said Rogers, who nearly found the back of the net in the 40th minute when he his shot was saved by goalkeeper Michael Gspurning. "I've been trying to focus on every day just improving a little bit and I haven't played that many games in two or three months, but I think that each game I've gotten a little better.
"I think that it's good time that I'm a little bit more fit and stronger heading into the playoffs."
LA associate head coach Dave Sarachan, who a week earlier heralded Rogers as a potential third attacking option behind work horses Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane, admitted that he did well on the turf at CenturyLink Field.
"I think that he's turned a corner physically," said Sarachan. "We were pleased with the effort that he gave in Seattle. Going forward, there wasn't a lot for him or other players, but as far as the dirty running, tracking back, and defending, he seemed to do well… Now he has to get it going in the attacking third a little more that part needs to get a little cleaner."
Rogers agrees.
"[The Seattle game] was a difficult one, so that's definitely one think I need to do when we're playing at home, on such a big and with the way that we play," said Rogers. "That would be combining a good defensive effort with creating chances [offensively]."
Want Rogers to start on the right side of midfield? Think he'll find a goal in the postseason?

Kevin Stott to officiate the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Semifinal first leg against Real Salt Lake
CARSON, Calif. – Veteran referee Kevin Stott will serve as the head official for the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Semifinal first leg against Real Salt Lake at StubHub Center on Sunday.
Stott officiated just two games for the Galaxy this season when LA opened the season with a 4-0 victory over the Chicago Fire—calling 27 fouls and awarding a single yellow card to Todd Dunivant in the 75th minute–and LA's 3-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes, in which he called 15 fouls and awarded a penalty to Gyasi Zardes that was converted by Robbie Keane.
Meanwhile, Stott served as head official for just a single match for RSL during the 2013 regular season: their scoreless draw with the Portland Timbers at JELD-WEN Field. Stott called 29 fouls and gave two yellow cards, one of which was to RSL midfielder Yordany Álvarez.
A couple of interesting notes about Stott: He was the referee for LA's 2009 MLS Cup penalty kick defeat to Real Salt Lake back in Seattle and he also officiated LA's dramatic 3-1 Western Conference Semifinals second leg victory against San Jose Earthquakes in 2012.
The complete crew is below.
ASST 1: Kermit Quisenberry
ASST 2: Fabio Tovar
4th: Juan Guzman
SEATTLE –Avoiding the Knockout Round was a major objective for the LA Galaxy during the final stretch of the regular season and with that goal accomplished, they plan on taking advantage of the six days to prepare for the first leg of their Western Conference Semifinal against Real Salt Lake on Sunday.
The rest is sorely needed with Landon Donovan (left ankle inflammation), Omar Gonzalez (left hip strain), and Todd Dunivant (right MCL sprain) dealing with injuries while others like A.J. DeLaGarza, Pablo Mastroeni, and Robbie Rogers are still seeking to regain full match sharpness.
"This is huge. Because the effort we put out tonight, it would have been hard to go again on Wednesday," Gonzalez said. "So to get this draw and put us in for a game on the weekend is huge. I know some guys need some treatment, including myself, so we're going to take this week to put in a good effort in practice, get the bodies ready and concentrate toward Salt Lake."
Following the match, Donovan admitted the team will "happily take a week of rest" ahead of a match against a Real Salt Lake that should provide a major test for the Galaxy.
"The beauty with playing them is that both teams try to play and attack, so it should make for a very exciting series," said Donovan "A lot of times in the playoffs, you'll see teams sort of bunker in and be safe, but we know when they come to LA, they like to pllay. It's a big field, they'll try to play, and we always try to play at home. And when we go there [for the second leg], it will be the same.
"It should be an exciting series, and it's going to come down to who makes the most plays."

Jackson girls step up, beat Lake Stevens 62-48
Timberwolves show they can score without injured Kingma
Jackson's Sierra Anderson (5) lays up the ball up in front of Lake Stevens defenders Chelsea Pahls (22) and Mallory Gipson (12) during the fourth quarter of the Timberwolves' 62-48 victory over the Vikings on Wednesday night.
Lake Stevens' Kali Long jumps for the ball on a high inbounds throw from a teammate. Jackson's Imari Clinton (right) defends on the play in the second quarter of the Timberwolves' 62-48 victory over the Vikings on Wednesday night.
The Vikings' Brooke Pahukoa -- last year's Herald Player of the Year -- and Jackson's Kelli Kingma -- who led her team to a fourth place finish at last year's state tournament -- both sat out nursing injuries.
The two looked on from the bench as Timberwolves' sophomore Faithaleen Lopez-Flores scored 29 points to lead Jackson to a 62-48 Wesco 4A win Wednesday night at Lake Stevens High School.
"Our girls did a good job of keeping their composure," said Jackson head coach Jeannie Boyer. "... A lot of girls are stepping up right now."
Jackson suffered a significant blow before Christmas, when Kingma tore her medial collateral ligament. Kingma, who was on the sidelines cheering her teammates on, had surgery on Dec. 27 to repair the damage.
However, Boyer said it looks like Kingma's junior season may be over.
"We hope to get her back, but she might be done (for the season)," Boyer said.
Lopez-Flores began providing offense as soon as the game started. She made three consecuitve 3-pointers and had 15 points for Jackson at halftime. The only thing that slowed her down was the rim, which caught and held onto her fourth 3-point attempt.
Lopez-Flores netted another 10 points in the final quarter, abruptly ending a Lake Stevens rally in the final minutes.
"She's been shooting the ball very well," Boyer said. "To our other players' credit, they did a great job of getting her the ball."
On the other bench, the Vikings' Pahukoa was nursing a dislocated pinky finger she injured in a holiday tournament last weekend. After going up for a rebound, she fell backwards and caught herself on the floor, causing her pinky to "kind of (pop) out," according to Lake Stevens head coach Randall Edens.
"The top half of her pinky was bent, at a 90-degree angle," Edens said, gesturing with his own pinky.
Pahukoa participated in warm-ups but, in a game-time decision, was held out as a precautionary measure. With no practice time this week, and a pinky that is still not 100 percent, Edens decided to go with a slow, cautious approach with his star shooting guard.
"It's just one of those things. It's a dicey situation," Edens said. "We don't want to aggravate it and make it worse."
Without Pahukoa, Lake Stevens managed to hang with the Timberwolves throughout the game. Alex Briggs had a team-high 13 points and Kali Long added 12 points and 11 rebounds as the Vikings pulled to within nine points with 2:03 to play.
But that's as close as Lake Stevens got. Lopez-Flores made two free throws to extend the Timberwolves' lead to double digits as Jackson closed out the game.
"They really shot it well," Edens said. "... And they're going through the injury bug, too. That's what you go through in a long season."
Despite the injuries there was still a Pahukoa and a Kingma on the floor. Brooke's twin sister Brittney -- who, along with Brooke has committed to play at Boise State next season -- had nine points, four rebounds and four steals. Kelli's younger sister Brooke made a 3-pointer with less than a second remaining in the third quarter.
Junior Sierra Anderson had nine points for Jackson and freshman Imari Clinton had six points and five rebounds in her fifth-ever varsity start.
"Sierra Anderson has a bigger load to carry (with Kingma hurt) and she's done a great job," Boyer said.
The coach also praised Clinton for being able to contribute so much, so soon in her varsity career.
"Clinton is stepping in and handling pressure," Boyer said. "She plays very poised. She's mature beyond her years."
Lake Stevens, which also was without sophomore forward Emily Vandegrift who took an elbow to the head in the same holiday tournament, is hoping some of its younger players can do the same. Edens said that at the beginning of the season the Vikings' coaches told the players to constantly be ready for important minutes.
"You just never know when your time is to have to be ready," Edens said. "So many different things can happen.
"Our big thing is to play our best basketball at the end of the year. Which we typically do."

Jackson 16 12 16 18 -- 62
Lake Stevens 12 9 9 18 -- 48

What is GNU?
The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop the GNU operating system, a complete Unix-like operating system which is free software—software which respects your freedom.Unix-like operating systems are built from a software collection of applications, libraries, and developer tools—plus a program to allocate resources and talk to the hardware, known as a kernel.GNU is often used with a kernel called Linux, and here is a list of ready-to-install GNU/Linux distributions which are entirely free software. The Hurd, GNU's kernel, is actively developed, but is still some way from being ready for daily use.The combination of GNU and Linux is the GNU/Linux operating system, now used by millions and sometimes incorrectly called simply "Linux".The name "GNU" is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix!"; it is pronounced g-noo, as one syllable with no vowel sound between the g and the n.
(Info courtesy of gnu.org)
A Brief History of GNU
The Linux operating system started as a project by a computer science student in Finland named Linus Torvalds. He wanted to study the C programming language and Unix. Torvalds used a tiny Unix system called Minux to get work done. Minux was great for students because it worked on cheap Intel hardware and was free.But he wasn't quite satisfied with Minux. So in his spare time he started coding his own version of Unix, hoping to create something like Minux, but better. The result of his work was Linux. Torvalds released Linux on the internet for free.Now at this point, Linux was just the kernel, that part of the operating system that runs the show in the background. The kernel is responsible for memory management, process and file management and input/output. These are the super low-level things that most people don't really notice.Other programmers began writing code for Linux. Little by little Linux began to work on more hardware. New device drivers, video drivers, etc., were added to the mix.Once Linux had reached a certain point, developers began coding Linux versions of the standard Unix tools. Then the GNU Project, who'd been creating a Unix alternative themselves since 1984, was set on top of Linus's kernel, and GNU/Linux really took off. The GNU Project had most of the pieces in place, but they lacked a kernel. So it was a nice fit.Linux is called Linux, but could just as easily be called GNU, or GNU/Linux, because the GNU Project's contribution was huge. Some steadfastly refer to Linux as GNU/Linux.Recently Linux has become one of the top web server platforms for most major ISPs. And Linux is slowly increasing its share of the desktop. Ubuntu Linux has really matured of late on the desktop and support is being offered by a number of companies. Large corporations can now deploy Linux workstations at a fraction of the cost of competing OS vendors and feel safe knowing that business class support is available 24/7.

If you follow our size chart and still receive wrong size gloves, please send it back and we will send you the right size without any charge for shipping again.
Comment: Note I Bought 2 Pairs Of These Gloves They Really Work Good Seem To Eliminate A Lot Of Vibration That Comes Through the Handles On HD Superglide.
Ron Speraneo
St.Charles Missouri
Comment: great quality gloves, but the size chart leaves something to be desired. My measurement indicates I needed a medium but I normally wear a L or XL. Ordered the M and they are "very snug"... too snug. I'm ordering the XL and giving this pair to my wife as her new primary gloves, good quality...
King George, VA
Comment: I was surprised with these gloves because of the low cost and its good quality not to mention the comfort!!!

Comment: I'm very pleased with the quality you get for this price. I also went one size up from what the chart said and they fit fine.
Dave R.
Modesto, CA
Comment: I received mine today, the fit and quality was great I will recomend these to all my riding friends
Comment: I ordered these gloves to try the gel palm. They did not feel particularly gel-like, but after riding with them, they proved to be more comfortable than my regular leather (unlined) gloves, so I'm sure the gel makes a difference. The workmanship is good, at least as good as gloves I paid 50 dollars for, and the leather is at least as thick, so they're not some thin dress gloves.
They felt almost too small when I first put them on, but once I flexed them, they seemed fine. The size chart seemed to indicate a L for me (I may have been closer to 11 than 10.5), but I always buy XL gloves, so I ordered XL and they were just right. After my first ride, the gloves loosened just a bit. I think they will loosen a little more as I ride. They were comfortable the whole time and never felt bad or pinching, just understand that these aren't the kind of gloves you can wear with liners. The fingers were just the right length for me, the same as other XL gloves I've bought over the years.
I bought them as summer gloves (I don't like to ride on the street without leather gloves), and they felt good in 80-degree weather. We'll see how they are in July!

Comment: Great pair of glove quality material ,I will contnue to buy from this company.
A Mercado
Comment: Very nice. I ordered large which fit fine but the velcro seems too tight (seperated far enough apart that) - I can't close as securely as I'd like. Perhaps I would order a XL next time but I like actual glove fit itself - and would buy again.

Comment: I bought these gloves to ease the pain in my hand,due to a palm laceration.these are great gloves, and will be great summer riding gloves.
Rich C

Comment: Nice gloves for the price they work well to reduce vibration. Great for warmer temperatures not warm enough for cold weather. Its cold here so good for 50 degrees or warmer they work well. Cant beat the price though seem to be well made.
Doug Geurts
De Pere, WI
Comment: Very nice for the price.
Comment: These gloves are a great bang for the buck. You really can't beat it. Leather breaks in quick, realy good feel o them. Gel paddnig is nice on the palm. Elastic closure works great and the short glove works great for riding around. This is a great product, and will last for a while.
San Diego
Comment: I bought these gloves as a spare, throwaway set. Once riding with them, I decided they will be my everyday set of gloves. I like that they aren't perforated like most gloves, and although the Velcro closure is a bit big and cheesy, they are more comfortable than expected. I ride with them everyday, and like them fine, especially for the sale price. Be careful when ordering, they run a bit tight on sizing, order the next one up
Victory King
Comment: These gloves are amazing just perfect for the ride
Chad detty
Comment: I needed full finger gloves and these looked good but they ripped the second time I used them. I was very disappointed. They fit great but are cheap material.
Pitman, NJ
Comment: Excellent glove for cool weather, great price!
Comment: got the for cool days and worm fit great fell great would buy again
Comment: I took a chance on these gloves and I'm glad I did. They are comfortable and the gel insert should prove to be a welcome item for long rides.
Good price and great service, as always, from

When people want to guess someone's age, they often look at the hands for signs of wear and tear. The older you are, the more likely it is that your hands have experienced the ravages of sun exposure, environmental pollutants, and the aging process.

Olga Kurylenko is racking up the frequent flier miles these days.
With two movies opening Friday – director Terrence Malick's "To The Wonder" and the Tom Cruise post-apocalyptic thriller "Oblivion" – the Ukrainian-born, Parisian-trained and London-based actress has been flying from one premiere to another.
In fact, when the former Bond girl ("Quantum of Solace") picked up the phone to call the Orange County Register, she was on her way to the airport after attending the Moscow premiere of "Oblivion." From there, she was headed to premieres in Taipei, Vienna, London, Dublin, Buenos Aries, Rio de Janeiro and Toronto.
Judging by her travel schedule, the one-time model apparently has overcome the typecasting and subsequent career disappearance that follows many actresses who appear opposite 007.
In "To The Wonder," Kurylenko plays a French woman who meets and falls in love with an American (Ben Affleck) vacationing in Paris. The couple and her young daughter move into the man's Oklahoma home, where the glow of new romance begins to dim.
The 33-year-old actress plays an endangered crew member aboard a space vehicle who is rescued by Cruise in the futuristic "Oblivion." The science fiction movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski and based on his unpublished graphic novel, takes place years after an invasion of Earth by an alien race bent on stripping the planet of its natural resources.
Raised by her mother and grandmother, Kurylenko was discovered at 14 on a Moscow subway by a modeling agent who was so intrigued by the tall teen (she now stands 5-foot-9) that he handed her mother his business card. The youngster signed a contract with a modeling agency the next day, and moved to Paris when she was 16. Two years later, she was on the covers of Vogue, Glamour and Elle. She speaks five languages, and her first English-speaking movie role was in the 2007 film "Hitman." Last year, Kurylenko appeared opposite Colin Farrell in "Seven Psychopaths," and she recently completed her second season on the Starz cable series "Magic City," in which she plays Vera Evans.
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER: I've already seen photos of you and Tom Cruise posing together on the red carpet in Moscow just an hour ago. It must have been nice to be back in Mother Russia?
OLGA KURYLENKO: Not in this little dress (laughs). It was very cold.
Q. You were born there; you should be used to it.
A. This was cold for April, and I was dressed for Hollywood.
Q. Well, you and Tom seemed to work well together. How was he on the set?
A. Tom is so professional and generous. He takes cares of everybody on the set. You feel like you're in good hands because he's on top of everything. It's a pleasure to work with someone who is so invested in everything he does. He never left the set to sit alone in his trailer. Even if someone else was working, he'd always be there for the other actor.
Q. I can't think of two more different movies than "Oblivion" and "To The Wonder." Does it seem that way to you?
A. They are so different. When I watch the two movies, it's like I'm looking at two different people. I don't recognize myself. Even my hair color is different. In "Oblivion," my hair is dark brown. It looks almost black. In "To the Wonder," I'm almost blond. The hair styles are so different that I look like completely different nationalities.

National team competitions
While it is usually Diana Taurasi who is producing the headlines for Galatasaray, this week saw a fellow World Champion in a Galatasaray uniform steal the show.
After a Taurasi miss for a potential game-winner it was Tina Charles who hauled in the offensive rebound, her 10th!! of the game and calmly sinking the two free-throws after being fouled, to win a hard-fought game in Bourges.
Chalres finished the game with a monstrous double-double of 25 points and 18 rebounds, accumulating in a week-high efficiency index of 31.
The effort of Geraldine Robert in Lotos Gdynia's game against Vici Aistes Kaunes produced the exact same rating, earning her co-MVP honours.
Robert shot an impressive 9/11 from the field to go with her 8 rebounds and 4 assists, displaying her ability to dominate the game in every aspect.
It was the first time this season that two players shared the weekly MVP.

The Sharks were rampant in a record-breaking 10-try to one 64-7 Super Rugby victory against the Rebels.
The Sharks led 24-nil at halftime.
Sharks captain Keegan Daniel led the charge as the hosts set right the wrongs of last weekend's humiliation against the Brumbies.
A week ago the Sharks were blown off the park against the brilliant Brumbies and this weekend the Rebels were rocked and rolled as the Sharks scored a franchise tournament record for most tries scored in a match.
Daniel, who struggled in his first match back from injury a week ago, produced the form of 2012 when he was voted South Africa's Super Rugby player of the year.
The captain was decisive in his decision-making and his general play and his performance proved inspirational to a match-day squad who, to the man, fronted and made public their apology, through performance, for the embarrassment of the Brumbies defeat.
Youngsters Kyle Brown (hooker) and Pieter-Stef du Toit (lock) were rewarded with starts because of their performances against the Brumbies, and they played with the authority of veterans and the enthusiasm of teenagers. The duo invariably broke the first tackle and with constant go-forward the Sharks scored the bonus point fourth try within 35 minutes.
Several of the Sharks early tries came from lineout mauls. It was simple and conservative rugby, but once the confidence returned to the Sharks so did the freedom of expression in their all-round attack and the second half produced some stunning tries.
Springbok flyhalf Pat Lambie was the exception when it comes to outstanding displays and his usual consistency was absent, especially with the boot. Lambie, in a difficult wind, struggled with his goalkicking (two from six) and his line-kicking and he was subbed on 56 minutes.
Meyer Bosman, at inside centre, gave the Sharks a sharper edge and also kicked well when taking over from Lambie.
The Sharks led 64-nil after 64 minutes but injuries forced a reshuffle, with hooker Kyle Cooper playing at flank and replacement hooker Craig Burden seemed to be playing in the midfield and on the wing for much of the second half.
The Sharks were super in keeping the intensity for an hour but with the introduction of the replacements, tactical and enforced, coincided with a flat final quarter and one in which the Sharks understandably lost their shape.

VASS, N.C. - Packing 36 holes of action into the first day of the 2012 Conference Carolinas men's golf tournament, Pfeiffer University stands fifth overall just 13 shots from the top spot. Sunday's first round rain out forced two rounds of golf on Monday afternoon.
All five Falcons posted both rounds in the 70's as the field took advantage of soft greens and low scoring conditions after rain over the weekend. Luiz Jacintho paced the Falcons after both rounds were complete with a 149 firing rounds of 73/76.
Michael Blair finished three shots behind Jacintho at 152 (77/75) while Cameron Fields and Tyson Louth each carded 154's. Fields shot a pair of 77's while Louth went 76/78. Troy Bulmer wrapped up team scoring with a 76/79 for a 155. All five finished inside the top-30 after two rounds of play.
The third and final round will begin with a shotgun start on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m.

Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub{use as a hand scrub or body scrub}
2 Cups of Brown Sugar
1 Cup of Granulated Sugar
2 Tablespoons of Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 Cup + 1 Tablespoon of Sunflower, Safflower, or Vegetable Oil
Mix Brown Sugar, Granulated Sugar and Pumpkin Pie Spice together, making sure there are no lumps.
Add in oil and mix well. I like to use Sunflower Oil that can be found in most health food stores. Sunflower oil, like other oils, can retain moisture in the skin. {Safflower Oil is very similar to the Sunflower} Alternately, you can use plain Vegetable Oil as well.
These keep well in a sealed, sanitized glass container for months.
Just keep out of direct sunlight; as you would store the oil itself.

Gallery: What is a Sustainable City? Four Influential Green Mayors Disc...
It's a question we think about a lot here at Inhabitat: what is a sustainable city? Is it LEED certified buildings? Efficient public transportation? An abundance of green space? This past Friday, we had the pleasure of attending The Sustainable City Mayoral Panel during the Festival of Ideas, where four mayors from forward-thinking cities discussed these very ideas. The cities — Seattle; Philadelphia; Braddock, Pennsylvania; and Medellin, Colombia — could not be more different, but the overriding idea that a sustainable city is a healthy, vibrant city, was unanimously the same. The mayors (and former mayors) were each inspiring in their own way.
John Fetterman – Mayor of Braddock, PA
Panel moderator Kurt Anderson described Fetterman as "a character out of fiction," and indeed, standing 6'8″ tall and weighing 300 pounds, he certainly is. But he was also by far the most inspiring mayor on the panel. Fetterman landed in Braddock, a tiny former steel town just outside of Pittsburgh, to work with AmeriCorps, after receiving his masters in public policy from Harvard. He soon realized that the crumbling town needed a lot more than volunteers. Braddock has a population of 2200. Just 50 years ago, that number was 20,000.
Andrew Carnegie built the first bessemer process steel mill in Braddock in 1873 and for nearly 100 years, the town thrived. Then the steel industry declined, and Braddock went with it. As Fetterman says, Braddock lost "90 percent of our population and 90 percent of our homes." Crime rates soared and unemployment rose to 300 percent. Today, Braddock is the poorest community in Allegheny County.
Since assuming office in 2005, Fetterman has thrust Braddock into the national spotlight as a symbol of hope. He's given the city the tag line "Reinvention is the only option," and he has been working tirelessly to that end. With much of his own money, Fetterman has renovated decrepit buildings and lots and turned them into vibrant public spaces. A church is now the community center, abandoned lots are now organic gardens, and the largest unused space became Braddock's first park. Art galleries have opened, green businesses have moved in. On top of that, Braddock's crime rate has decreased dramatically, with police calls dropping nearly 50 percent. The town hasn't seen a homicide in more than three years. Fetterman is so completely dedicated to Braddock that he has the zip code tattooed on his left forearm, and the dates of murders that occurred while he's been mayor on his right. For Fetterman, sustainability means making Braddock desirable once again.

Space is the void and the physical universe that exists outside Earth's atmosphere and between celestial bodies. Space is a near-perfect vacuum with little matter, save for dispersed particles, radiation, dark matter and dark energy.
Space is virtually limitless, and its size is difficult to define or comprehend. Scientists estimate there are more than 100 billion galaxies in space, with the largest containing 400 billion stars. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has 100 billion stars. Other celestial bodies, such as planets, nebulae, asteroids, black holes, quasars, etc. litter space as well. Owing to space's incalculable size, these objects are often immense, numerous in number and spread vastly far apart from each other.
Humans developed adequate technology and began exploring space in the 20th century. While space agencies such as NASA have launched various probes and unmanned spacecraft to explore our solar system, humans themselves have only landed on the moon thus far. Advancements in telescope technology, however, have given us a remarkably sweeping view across the known universe. (Photo: Shutterstock)

The Sports Network
By Scott Haynes, College Football Senior Editor
GAME NOTES: The 13th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs get back to work this weekend, as they travel to Lexington to take on the Kentucky Wildcats in SEC action at Commonwealth Stadium.
Mark Richt's squad were idle this past weekend and probably needed the extra time to rest following a stunning 35-7 rout at South Carolina last time out to fall to 3-1 in SEC play. The humbling loss to the Gamecocks has damaged Georgia's national title hopes after opening 2012 with five consecutive wins. Still, the Bulldogs can right the ship over the next couple of weeks, including a showdown next weekend with SEC East leader Florida in Jacksonville.
Joker Phillips' is in his third season in Lexington, and things haven't exactly gone to plan, as Kentucky is a mere 1-6 overall and 0-4 in the SEC. The lone victory came on Sept. 8 against Kent State (47-14), as the Wildcats enter this contest with a five-game losing streak in tow, including a weather- shortened 49-7 drubbing at the hands of Arkansas last weekend.
Georgia has dominated this series on the gridiron, holding a 51-12-2 advantage all-time, including a 24-7 mark in Lexington. Georgia has won the last two meetings.
The Bulldogs' offensive showing against the Gamecocks was certainly an anomaly, as the team has put up big numbers this season, coming into this contest averaging 41.3 ppg on 484.0 yards of total offense. It is the balance on the offensive side of the ball that makes Georgia a dangerous team, as big gains are found both on the ground (226.5 ypg) and through the air (257.5 ypg).
Quarterback Aaron Murray has been efficient for the most part with the exception of an ugly 11-of-31 passing for 109 yards against South Carolina. The numbers on the year are vastly different, with Murray completing 62.1 percent of his throws, for 1,487 yards, with 12 touchdowns and just four interceptions. Murray has lost his top target Michael Bennett to a knee injury, leaving Marlon Brown (18 receptions, 283 yards, three TDs) and Tavarres King (17 receptions, 323 yards, three TDs) to pick up the slack.
The ground game has been a real strength thanks to the play of a couple of freshmen in tailbacks Todd Gurley (575 yards, 7.1 ypc, nine TDs) and Keith Marshall (465 yards, 7.3 ypc, five TDs).
Murray acknowledged he would have rather played last week than possibly allowing a bad loss to fester over the break.
"Obviously it's great to have the bye week to get your body feeling better, but I kind of wish we had a game this past week just to get the bad taste out of our mouth [from the South Carolina loss]. We tried not to be sitting around thinking about it for two weeks - we put that game behind us and we know this is an extremely important stretch for us if we want to reach our goals. We need to win our next six games."
The Bulldogs have playmakers on the defensive side of the football, although the overall numbers in the first half of the season have proved to be modest at best. The team is allowing 24.2 ppg thus far, on 373.8 yards of total offense.
The pass rush hasn't been anything special, with just 10 sacks in the first six games, although the team does boast of one of the nation's premier defenders in junior linebacker Jarvis Jones. The 6-foot-3, 241-pound All- American leads the team in both TFLs (9.5) and sacks (5.5) and must be accounted for at all times. Sophomore Amarlo Herrera has been active in the linebacking corps as well, pacing the team with 47 total tackles.
Jones however, is banged up (ankle) and it remains to be seen how much he will play at Kentucky.
"We'll see. We're not counting him out yet," said Richt at his weekly press conference. "He had been running on a treadmill underwater and did extremely well. We figured when we put him on land, he'd hit the ground running literally, but he wasn't ready to practice. If he's healthy enough to play, we want him to play. There's no thought of holding him out this game so that he's 100 percent next game."
Kentucky's sluggish start is directly linked to the team's inability to generate much in terms of offensive numbers. The team ranks 13th in the conference in scoring (18.6 ppg) and total offense (306.4 ypg) and dead last in rushing (106.9 ypg).
It certainly hasn't helped that injuries are mounting, especially under center, where starter Maxwell Smith could be done for the season with torn ligaments in his ankle. Backup Patrick Towles is sidelined with an ankle injury as well, leaving the job of field general to freshman Jalen Whitlow. Up to this point, the youngster has looked a little overwhelmed, completing just 41.7 percent of his passes, for just 282 yards, with one TD and two INTs in spot duty.
Wideout La'Rod King has been the team's top weapon on offense, amassing 31 receptions, for 351 yards and four TDs.
The ground game has been stagnant as well, as Raymond Sanders (54.0 ypg, two TDs) represents the top rusher on the team.
Unfortunately, the defensive numbers haven't been much better for the Wildcats, who rank last in the SEC in scoring defense (32.9 ppg) and 11th in total defense (415.6 ypg). The team has really struggled against the run, allowing a generous 183.3 ypg (12th in the SEC).
Junior linebacker Avery Williamson tops the team and ranks second in the SEC in tackles with 68 stops (15th nationally). Sophomore LB Alvin Dupree (49 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, 3.5 sacks) has been active as well.
The Wildcats have struggled on both sides of the football and with Georgia coming off a humiliating defeat a couple of weeks ago, Kentucky could feel the brunt of lopsided affair here.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Georgia 41, Kentucky 10
