PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy junior-varsity boys' basketball team won eight of its final 10 games to complete the season with a 12-9 record last Friday.
The Chucks lost their final game — 45-32 to Bradford — but had won eight of nine games entering that matchup after they started the season 4-7.
The Chucks began to erase the rough start once they became more comfortable as a team.
BRADFORD — A young Punxsy junior-varsity girls' basketball team that lacked depth finished the season with a 10-10 record last Friday following a 30-23 loss in Bradford.
The Lady Chucks started 5-8, but were able to win five of their next six games to clinch a 10-win season before closing the year with a defeat at the Lady Owls.
EDINBORO — A.J. Meterko led all Punxsy indoor runners with an individual eighth place finish in the 800-meter run at the Tri-State Track and Field Association Championships Saturday at Edinboro.
Meterko finished with a time of 2:04.68.
He qualified for the TSCTA State Championship meet at State College Feb. 26.
Other place winners for the Chucks included:
Boys' 4x800 relay— Meterko, Tom Wagner, Nathan Ward and Luke Fugate, 9:01.44, ninth place.
Girls' Distance Medley relay— Shannon Byerely, Alexis Young, Lauren McGarvey an Juliann Boddorf, 13:49.54, sixth place.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Juniors Logan Weaver and Daniel Triponey played like the best guard combo in the district, and the Chucks handled Bradford in a District IX Class AAA Semifinals preview Friday night, 61-42.
Weaver and Triponey combined for 48 points, as the Chucks evened the season series with Bradford by winning Friday. The two teams will meet Thursday in Punxsutawney in the rubber match for the first round of district playoffs with a trip to the title game on the line.
BRADFORD — The Punxsy girls' basketball team may not be going to the playoffs, but it finished the 2010-2011 season strong.
Punxsy completed the season with a three-win week once it defeated Bradford Friday night, 48-30.
The Lady Chucks (7-15) won't enter the playoffs this year, but they swept the Lady Owls (12-10), who will meet St. Marys in the District IX Class AAA title game. St. Marys and Kayla Hoohuli are in search of a fourth-straight crown.
DUBOIS — Four-straight late victories that totaled 19 team points allowed DuBois to earn a 41-34 victory over the Punxsy wrestling team Thursday night.
The Chucks (12-12) were riding high after Tyler Titus' upset victory by fall at 215 pounds. They jumped ahead 28-22 with that win, but couldn't score again until Kody Young won by forfeit during the final bout of the night.
Unlike last week, when the Chucks received two big wins from freshmen Josh Schuckers and Joel Bowers to beat St. Marys, 34-30, the 103- and 112-pounders were unable to rise up once again.
BROOKVILLE — It was clear after Brookville's Brady Mineweaser upset Redbank Valley's Mitch Blose, helping the Raiders earn a 40-21 win over the Bulldogs Thursday night, that Mineweaser has bigger goals in mind.
He wants, more than anything else, another chance to wrestle Ridgway's Cody Stahl at the District IX Class AA tournament next weekend. Stahl pinned Mineweaser in the third period of their match in the District IX Class AA Team Championship to give the Elkers a 32-29 win.
HYDE — The Punxsy boys' basketball team didn't shoot well and had numerous turnovers during a 50-39 loss to Clearfield Wednesday night, but the Chucks still clinched a home playoff game in the process.
Punxsy (8-13) shot 34 percent from the field and had 16 turnovers, but due to Bradford's 51-36 loss to Elk County Catholic, the Chucks will be the No. 2 seed and the Owls will be the No. 3 seed in the semifinals of the District IX Class AAA playoffs.
Clearfield (5-17) will head to St. Marys (16-7) on the other end of the bracket.
BROOKVILLE — Thirty minutes into the boys' basketball game Wednesday night, it looked as if Brookville would have to wait another year to win a District IX League title.
The DuBois boys' basketball team came out and punched the Raiders (19-2, 8-2 District IX League) in the mouth to start the game. The Beavers (9-13, 4-6) played tough defense, shot the lights out and didn't allow Brookville to take the lead for three quarters of the game.
This caused some concern on the Raiders' sideline.

Chaos continued to prevail at the funds-starved Bharati Shipyard Ltd (BSL) and shipbuilding activities at its yards have come to a naught. India's second largest private ship-builder is still awaiting a working capital loan from Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC), which took over the bad debts from the State Bank of India (SBI)-led lenders last month.
The private ARC, on the other hand, is in talks with distress asset funds to "arrange finances" immediately for reviving activities at BSL's yards.
Edelweiss ARC has taken over 60% of the ship-builder's debt that runs to almost Rs 8,000 crore from 11 banks after the account turned a non-performing asset (NPA) on their books. "The remaining 12 lenders in the consortium such as Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, Federal Bank, Canara Bank and Syndicate Bank, among others, have not sold their debt to the ARC as the account has not turned an NPA in their books. The account will turn an NPA in September," said a senior official from BSL.
These lenders have not only refused to fund the working capital from their kitty but also rejected the Edelweiss ARC's efforts to arrange funds.
"We have asked Edelweiss ARC for Rs 100 crore immediately to support our ship-building activities," said the BSL official.
The company is operating at a paltry 5-10% of its installed capacity – at its shipyards in Ratnagiri, Dabhol (both in Maharashtra) and Mangalore due to paucity of funds.
Sibi Antony, managing director and CEO, Edelweiss ARC, is hopeful of buying out the entire debt from all other lenders in the consortium. "We are trying to turn around the company. We have bought around 60% of debt, from 11 major lenders including SBI. BSL is in need of working capital. We will arrange it through distressed asset funds and banks," he said.
Just before lenders decided to sell the debt to ARC, the troubled ship builder was hoping for a fresh line of credit of Rs 3,000 crore from them.
"This was a mix of fund-based (around Rs 900 crore) and non-fund based of Rs 2,100 crore, including bank guarantees," said Antony.
The international management consultant Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), earlier appointed by the lenders, to script a turnaround at BSL, has stepped out, after Edelweiss ARC took charge.
BSL has not paid salaries for last six months, another employee said. "There are around 2,000 employees working across several functions and yards," he said.
As BSL faced a severe cash crunch, which in turn jeopardised its ship construction and timely deliveries, several customers had invoked bank guarantees. With the help of advanced payment guarantees from lenders, BSL was seeking new customers for their ships, primarily offshore vessels.

State-run Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) has sought a sharp hike in power tariff for the current fiscal and the next two years.
In its multi-year tariff petition to the West Bengal Electricity Regulatory Commission (WBERC), DVC has demanded an average tariff of Rs 6.38 per unit for 2014-15, a jump of 51.5 per cent as compared to the 2013-14 tariff of Rs 4.21 per unit.
DVC sources told PTI that the tariff petition has been filed with WBERC for a period of three years -- 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17.
The power company has sought Rs 7.10 per unit for 2015-16, a rise of 11.2 per cent over 2014-15. While, for the third year, it has demanded a tariff of Rs 8.81 per unit, another 24 per cent rise over 2015-16. If the terminal year's (2016-17) tariff is compared with the last fiscal (2013-14) rate, then it comes out to be more than 100 per cent rise.
DVC supplies bulk power at 25 KV to Railways; 33 KV, 132 KV and 220 KV to different industries and distributing licensees; exports electricity to regions and also supplies power to the states of West Bengal and Jharkhand.
The reasons which the PSU cited to justify its hike include increase in coal prices, proposed escalation of fixed cost of DVC's generating stations and T&D system and phasing out of some old power plants during 2016-17.
Meanwhile, the DVC tariff for the period 2009-10 to 2013-14 has not yet been cleared by WBERC and provisional current billing rates were based on the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission order.

Strengths: Very stiff for an inverted fork, but its still an inverted fork. Two way compression dampening works great, the air cap allows the fork to take 15+ foot drops, yet be supple enought for dh racing by adding air. The rebound adjustments are a bit touchy, but with a little tome the proper setting can be found. Im 210 with gear, the fork has stock springs, with 130psi in the chamber, i can drop 10 footers with confidence, white brothers has a heavy ride kit option for the fork that i may get when i start to go biger, it is susposed to make the fork more progresive, with out losing feel by cranking down on the compression dampner.
I have the 8" version, love it, i hear the travel can be reduced to 7" internally, may try it for trail riding.
The fork is super plush and looks pretty danm good too
Weaknesses: none so far
Bottom Line:
Super Plush
Bottomless Travel
Exceptional Tuneability

Annual Virginia Hamilton Conference on Multicultural Literature for Youth Set for April 12 and 13Posted Mar. 26, 2012
This year's theme is Celebrating Diversity: Sharing Our Stories
The 28th Annual Virginia Hamilton Conference on Multicultural Literature for Youth will take place on Thursday, April 12, and Friday, April 13, at the Kent Student Center.
The Virginia Hamilton Conference is the longest running event in the United States to focus exclusively on multicultural literature for children and young adults.
Celebrating Diversity: Sharing Our Stories is the theme for the 2012 conference, which features renowned authors Alma Flor Ada and Lisa Yee, and amazing illustrator E. B. Lewis. Author Julius Lester also will be honored at this year's event, but will not be in attendance.
The April 12 evening program includes a keynote address by the 14th Annual Virginia Hamilton Literary Award winner Alma Flor Ada, renowned author of The Gold Coin (Christopher Medal) and Under the Royal Palms (Pura Belpré Medal), followed by a multicultural storytelling performance.
Friday's highlights include keynote addresses by E.B. Lewis, acclaimed illustrator of Alice Schertle's Down the Road (ALA Notable Book), Tololwa M. Mollel's My Rows and Piles of Coins (ALA Notable Book, Coretta Scott King Honor Book) and Gavin Curtis' Bat Boy and His Violin (Coretta Scott King Honor Book); and Lisa Yee, whose debut novel Millicent Min, Girl Genius, won the Sid Fleischman Humor Award and has been recommended by NPR, and whose other awards and accolades include Thurber House Children's Writer-in-Residence, Fox Sports Network "American in Focus," and Publishers Weekly Flying Start, plus USA Today Critics' Top Pick and ALA Notable. Lee has more than one million books in print, including Warp Speed, about a Star Trek geek who is bullied every day at school.
This year's workshops include local and national speakers on such topics as The Orphan: A Cinderella Story from Greece; Negotiating Understanding Through the Young Literature of Muslim Culture; The Religious Aspects in Virginia Hamilton's The People Could Fly, and an update on the newest multicultural picture books, to name a few. Friday's conference agenda will again include a "conversation" session with the three featured presenters and reflections by Jaime Adoff.
Register now as the conference reaches capacity quickly. Contact the Office of Continuing and Distance Education at 330-672-3100 or register online.

Roy Oswalt, Lance Berkman retire as Houston Astros
There are some franchises that just do it the right way. The Houston Astros are, believe it or not, one of those franchises.

Recently retired Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt wasn't tempted to rethink his retirement when he dropped by Houston's camp on Thursday.

The War of 1812 started 200 years ago Monday. But you knew that.
Some facts about a war we just don't think so much about:
– Americans were pitted against the British, Native Americans and Canadiens — those of French descent from Quebec.
– America was upset with the British blockade barring trade with France.
– The war ended with the Treaty of Ghent signed on Dec. 24, 1814.
– But the war's most famous battle was fought in January 1815 — the Battle of New Orleans. Which is the excuse to post a video to a cool song:

Great Product
By NAT
from KANATA
I've been using this product for about 6 months now and I have seen results. It does take time and regular use so for those who want instant results it's not for you. If you are committed to hair removal and follow the instructions it is a great alternative to expensive treatments at salons and clinics and you can do it in the privacy of your home. It is easy to use and the treatment time itself is very quick depending on the area of your body you are focusing on. I'm really pleased with the results I've gotten so far and I would encourage anyone who is thinking about it to buy this product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Preparing an Advance Directive
When Terri Schiavo died in the national spotlight in 2005, after lingering in a vegetative state for 15 years, interest in living wills -- one form of advance medical directives that allow people to specify their wishes for medical treatment at the end of life -- surged. Newspapers even reported "living will parties," where friends snacked on brie and sipped wine while discussing respirators and resuscitation.
Experts agree it's important to plan for end-of-life care -- if only to spare your family the fate of Schiavo's relatives, who squabbled for years in the courts before doctors removed Terri's life support in 2005. But adequate planning isn't as easy as checking a few boxes over a glass of chardonnay.
So what should you do to prepare? Many experts suggest filling out three of the most common advance directives used for end-of-life care:
Living wills typically specify medical treatment that is desired (or not desired). For example, you might state that certain life-sustaining measures that serve only to prolong your dying be withheld or discontinued.
Health care surrogate forms (or health care proxy forms) designate a person who will make health care decisions for you if you become incapacitated. The health care proxy has, in essence, the same rights to request or refuse treatment that you would have if you could decide for yourself.
A durable power of attorney allows an individual you designate to do certain tasks in your place, such as signing Social Security checks, applying for disability, or simply writing checks to pay bills.
One caveat: The problem with living wills is that the meanings of terms such as "terminal condition" or "artificial procedures" are debated by doctors and fought over in court, says Scott Solkoff, a Boynton Beach, Fla., lawyer who specializes in elder law. And many doctors ignore the wills for fear of lawsuits by surviving relatives. Solkoff's solution: Modify the standard form to be as specific as possible — and add a clause releasing your doctor or hospital from liability for following your wishes.
Also, choose a strong-willed surrogate, suggests Joan Teno, MD, a leading end-of-life researcher at Brown University. It's not enough that he or she understands your wishes; that person may also have to take a firm stand if a doctor suggests a procedure you wouldn't want.
Finally, start a conversation with your doctor now about end-of-life care and your wishes so you both know how to proceed.

Information is everything when you fly. The iFly app shows gate maps, wireless net info and even how to find baggage claim terminals. The Pro version, available for $6.99, adds a robust flight tracker. The app uses your location to deliver the closest airport info, weather and any announced delays.
John Brandon,
I came across your old article "10 Best Flight Apps" at "http://blog.laptopmag.com/best-flight-apps". Good article and references to all the tools. Did not know there were so many.
I do have a question. Where do these different mobile apps get their real-time data from !!!! Is it public information or do I have to subscribe to it ? I have recently started writing mobile apps for Android and this has been one of those things that I have not been able to figure out.
Appreciate your time and thank you.

In her first published work, author Melissa Whitt takes the reader on a futuristic odyssey through the eyes of the unassuming deadbeat, Don Eiron. Desperate for work, Eiron signs on to work for an alien venture in deep space. What he discovers might spell the ultimate doom of the human race.
This book is a fun read filled with lots of action, clever dialog, satire, and wit (excuse the pun.) Melissa Whitt's skillful use of character development and fast-paced dialog launches the reader into an unquenchable fire of imaginative writing and original plot development.
Conspiracy buffs will love the plot twists in this science fiction thriller. It is a must read!

Really nice questions!
Some stones are magnetic as found. They are magnetized because they cooled in the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth is magnetic for complicated reasons which I don't really understand, but have something to do with currents stirred up as heat flows from the hot core to the cooler surface, creating convection patterns.
You don't need a permanent magnet to magnetize a piece of iron. It's usually done using an electromagnet, so what you really need is a current source to drive the electromagnet. Although many current sources are ultimately based on generators which themselves use magnets, there are other current sources which do not need magnets. For example batteries can be made using chemicals and no magnets.

We were just discussing doing more to encourage our readers to do experiments. Your suggestion about raising follow-up questions for them is along the same lines. We'll do our best.
On "action-at-a-distance", we don't really think of it that way. We think of the magnetic field as a real thing, all spread out in space, acting where it is. But how did that field get all spread-out? Not by sudden action-at-a-distance. It had to work its way over from the source, by an electromagnetic wave traveling at the speed of light. That's not much of a coincidence, since light itself is an electromagnetic wave.
We don't really know what anything is made of at the deepest level. I guess the two basic approaches are that everything is some sort of differential equation (a little bit like Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism) or that everything is some sort of cellular automaton, kind of like a bunch of little digital bits. Right now, the deepest things we know are all differential equations, but some people suspect that may change.
Saying "It's all just organized energy" doesn't really convey a definite enough idea for us to say it's true or false.

Hi Mark,
If you have two thin bar magnets and put them together in parallel the resulting strength is about double. If you keep adding more and more of them eventually the resulting sum is not the sum of the number of magnets due to the over all geometry of the combination. It involves some integrals.
If you add them lengthwise you don't get a factor of two in the end-on direction but you would get a factor of two if you placed them face down on an iron surface.
Far away, you do get a factor of two in the fields, even though close by it's more complicated. /mw

Positive energy does attract positive energy by ordinary gravity. However positive electric charge repels positive electric charge. This old physics has nothing to do with various new-age ideas.
Magnets are still another matter. No magnetic charges ("monopoles") have ever been found. However, like poles of magnets (e.g. North and North) repel.
Your mom may not be nuts because many medical conditions are known to be helped by something called the placebo effect. People who believe that something (e.g. an alleged medicine) will help them tend to do better, sometimes in real objective measured traits, not always just in how they feel. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo) Magnets are truly harmless. Maybe having to pay a lot for them made her feel like they're doing more good, and maybe that feeling makes them do more good. I have a lot of trouble motivating myself to exercise enough. Maybe it's time to invest in some magnets.

Dear Anonymous,
As you point out, you can't create energy with magnets, but you can store energy. When you push two same-sign poles together it requires energy. This energy can then be released and do useful work when you let go of the magnets.
(published on 03/17/2014)
Yes, ferromagnetic materials typically do have a weak net magnetization. The Earth is a weak magnet (that's why compasses work) so the ferromagnetic material will magnetize a little as it cools into the magnetic state.

Clos Robert
Vintage: 2011
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.
Region: California
It isn't difficult to see how California became one of the world's most important, successful and influential wine regions. Since the first vines were planted in the state by Spanish pioneers in the 18th century, the region has made the most of its ideal climatic conditions, which range from hot, dry and arid to windswept and cool, for vineyard cultivation and wine production. Today, California has almost half a million acres under vine, and hundreds of independent and well established wineries dotted across its vast wine-making areas. Californian wines range from the traditional, and those emulating fine Old World wines, to the experimental and unique, and it is the home to many of the world's most exciting and trailblazing wineries producing excellent bottles for the global market.
Country: United States
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.

Spring For Love Blog Hop and Giveaway – Featuring Author Densie Webb
Welcome to the 3rd and final day of Spring for Love blog hop and giveaway. Make sure to check out the giveaway for a chance to win lots of awesome gifts, including 50 bucks to Amazon! On this last day, I thought I would share what I love about spring. I think it's the best time of year to sit outside, eat, socialize, and have a margarita!
My guest today is author Densie Webb. Densie has spent a long career as a freelance nonfiction writer and editor, specializing in health and nutrition, and has published several books and tons of articles on the topic over the years. She grew up in Louisiana, spent 13 years in New York, and settled in Austin, TX, where it's summer nine months out of the year. She is an avid walker (not of the dead variety, though she loves anything to do with zombies, vampires or post-apocalyptic worlds), drinks too much coffee and has a small "devil dog" that keeps her on her toes. She has arrested development in musical tastes and her two children provide her with musical recommendations on a regular basis.
What does Densie like about spring? "I Love spring because it's almost summer!"
Her Novel You'll be thinking of me is available at Amazon
A chance encounter with a celebrity, an impromptu video of an innocent kiss and a shiny new espresso machine. It all added up to a juicy tale for 24-year old Rachael Allen to share. But when her best friend posts the video online, bizarre threats from an obsessed fan follow close behind. Mick Sullivan, the star in her video, offers to help and in the process, Rachael discovers that despite his reputation as a player of Olympian caliber, he's down-to-earth—and emotionally damaged. Despite wildly divergent life paths, their shared southern upbringing and a passion for good music create a common thread that draws them to one another. As the threats escalate, and their relationship deepens, Rachael struggles to accept Mick's past and ultimately decide if being with Mick Sullivan is worth the collateral damage.

Welcome to day two of Spring for Love blog hop and giveaway. Don't forget to enter the giveaway for a $50.00 Amazon gift card plus other great prizes!
My guest today is author J.R.Richardson. Jo tells contemporary stories with romance, humor, the supernatural, the paranormal, suspense, mystery, action and anything else she can think up. In 2012, she wrote Cursed be the Wicked, a character driven, paranormal mystery romance that was picked up by Soul Mate Publishing and released in March of 2014. Since then, Jo has also written a couple of short stories and her recently contracted contemporary romantic comedy, entitled Cookie Cutter, is set to release on March 23, 2015 through Little Bird Publishing.
Jo loves Spring because the weather is perfect in Florida this time of year. It's when her family starts making trips to the beach more often and some of her favorite TV shows are starting to come back. Win Win!
Check out her latest novel, Cursed be the Wicked, which is available now on Amazon.
Cooper Shaw lives his life under a pen name and enjoys the anonymity it provides during his journeys across the globe as a seasoned writer for a travel magazine. When his job lands him in his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts to cover the famous Festival of the Dead, he soon realizes that he can't stay invisible forever as he faces ghosts from a past he's been trying to forget ever since he left. The city holds nothing but bad memories for Coop until he meets a quirky young woman with an old soul and curious insights by the name of Finnley Pierce. While she acts as his tour guide through a town he thought he knew, Finn helps him unearth the truth of his childhood and might even begin to open up his heart. By unraveling the mystery of his father's murder, Coop may finally accept who he is, where he came from, and perhaps even realize what he wants for his future.

Alumni Weekend
Reconnect with Former Classmates & Friends
Whether you like to spend time on the golf course, socialize with your classmates over dinner or visit the Baldwin City campus, Alumni Weekend provides a variety of ways to reconnect with friends and reminisce. Held each May, Alumni Weekend is open to former students from all classes and from all four schools: College of Arts and Sciences, School of Professional and Graduate Studies, School of Nursing, and School of Education.
Golf & More
The weekend kicks off Friday with the Wildcat Classic Golf Tournament, an event to raise funds for Baker Athletics. Enjoy your favorite game with fellow classmates, friends, family, coaches and professors. The event is open to players of all skill levels. Last year we introduced Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, an event also held at Alvamar Golf Course that coincided with the golf tournament.
Also new in 2014 was the Alumni Weekend Friday Night Social, a casual gathering at the Sports Cave Bar & Grill in Overland Park. This change allows us to reserve the Golden Alumni Reunion and Alumni Award Recognition Dinner for our golden alumni and their guests.
Baldwin City Campus Comes Alive
On Saturday, former Wildcats visit campus and their Greek houses and attend the Alumni Luncheon. Parties, gatherings and reunions are planned throughout the day and into the evening. Alumni Weekend culminates with a baccalaureate service at Baldwin First United Methodist Church and commencement activities in the afternoon, where the Baker community welcomes and honors a new graduating class.

I'm taking the day off. It's somebody important's birthday so I'm reclining in my easy chair drinking a spiked egg nog explaining to small people that cuts from trying to open clam shell packaging heal stronger than the original skin. And, I got you something. I know I shouldn't have. But here's 99 of some of my favorite celebrity bikini pictures, from A to Z. Yes, I skipped a few names, but 99 seemed just about right.
These are the frontal views. On New Year's, I'll show you some of my favorite rear views, to get all sentimental and such about the year we just put behind us. Most importantly, have yourself a very Merry Christmas. Without all of you, I couldn't afford my lifestyle which in many underdeveloped and Third World nations, would be considered quite comfortable. It's all about indoor plumbing! Enjoy your holiday.

Darkstep!July 3, 2012
Fasten your seatbelt, put on your leaden shoes and try to keep your sweaty hands to yourself: "Darkstep" is here, and things are going to get bloody dark and eerily twisted!
Prime Loops' brand spanking new killer collection packs more sick thrills than an allnighter of David Lynch's most out-there movie outings – but here it's not the eyes which the faint-hearted will want to cover, but first and formemost those fragile eardrums.
"Darkstep" consists of an unsettling 200MB of one-shots, loops and effects which will leave you yearning for no more – because it's all right there: Ballistic Drums, Percussion and Effects. Devastating Bass One-shots and Basslines. Twisted synth shots and hooks. Vicious Vocal Samples. And a whole number of other sonic weapons to make boom-boom in the most terrifying manner. Don't laugh now and say have not been warned later!
"Darkstep" is the work of the legendary Bong-Ra, future-proof veteran producer of musical montrosities who has made his mark in an international scene nestled between Breakcore, Jungle, Hardcore, Metal, Dubstep, Hip Hop and other bass-laden sounds. Bong-Ra has created, produced, twisted and mastered each and every sample and loop contained exclusively for this Prime Loops collection – and "Darkstep" is offered to you without any royalties involved whatsoever.
This develish monster of a sample pack even features exclusive elements from Bong-Ra's latest, groundbreaking PRSPCT album release "Monolith", which seamlessly mixes all styles with ease, as well as a whole bunch of strong vocal samples from the American rapper Sole, of Anticon fame!
