LUBBOCK-The 2011 season for the Borger Lady Bulldogs can be described as one that was pretty challenging on and off the floor.
Despite the ups and downs, the Lady Bulldogs found a way to put together a nice playoff run reaching the 3A Regional Quarterfinals, where they met up with the Monahans Lady Lobos in Lubbock on Tuesday evening.
Despite hanging tough in each game, the Lady Lobos ended the Lady Bulldogs season in three games 25-15, 25-21, 25-20.
The Lady Bulldogs end the 2011 season with a 22-20 record.
On Tuesday evening, the Sanford-Fritch Lady Eagles hosted their first home game of the season to the Lady Cats of Sunray.
Sanford-Fritch started out holding their ground and sitting with a 6-0 run early. Sunray quickly took a timeout to settle their team. Sanford-Fritch continued to control the game the entire quarter.
The second quarter the Lady Cats tried to get composure and began scoring and taking advantage of Sanford-Fritch's early foul trouble. Big rebounds and many second chance shots helped Sunray close the gap and halftime score SF 32 Sunray 28.
On Tuesday evening, the Frank Phillips College Plainsmen improved to 2-0 for the 2011-12 season by defeating Wayland Baptist JV 96-50 at the BCAC.
Several Plainsmen had a good night putting points on the scoreboard led by Taquan McDew with 20 points, Rodshard Davis with 13 points, and James Boonstoppel with 12 points.
The Plainsmen will next play seven straight games on the road, beginning Friday night when they travel to Colorado to take on Trinidad State.
The Plainsmen will next play at home on Tuesday, November 29th against Trinidad State beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Tonight, the Borger Lady Bulldogs basketball team will officially open the 2011-12 season traveling to Lubbock to take on Lubbock Estacado.
Borger Lady Bulldogs Head Coach Travis Nicks enters his third season leading the Lady Bulldogs program and has seen several areas where the program has grown since taking the job.
On the areas he has seen improve, Nicks commented, "I think the overall work ethic is better and the girls understand what the expectations are for the program. The attitudes have slowly changed to where there is a competitive fire where the girls are expecting to win."
Tonight the Frank Phillips College Plainsmen men's basketball team will host Wayland Baptist JV beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the BCAC.

Do You Copy Celebrity Makeup Looks from Magazines?
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
I am the first to admit that when I see great makeup looks in magazines on celebrities or models, I tear them out and stick them in a drawer in my bathroom. I've got about six there right now (what can I say, they get wet and I have to bin them), but the problem I always face is that I know the photos are air brushed so I can never get my skin to look as good as theirs and I can also never quite match the colors right.
I guess that's why I love to break down celebrity makeup looks on BellaSugar, so that you can actually recreate the looks at home that you see in the glossies. Is my secret bathroom habit something that you do, too?

I don't copy the looks... I think sometimes it's quite dramatic. otherwise, something that works for someone, may not work on another person. but do celebrities really have such perfect and flawless skin!
snowbunny11 7 years
I think the issue really is the airbrushing for me. I have pretty awful skin, and it's a daily battle to try to prevent breakouts. So, when I try to duplicate really exotic looks, for some reason it just looks dirty on me since I'm already trying so hard to just make my skin look normal. Turquoise and hot pink eyeshadow for some reason makes scars look worse! :( If I see something on a celebrity photo that a paparazzi has taken and hasn't airbrushed, I might try it. Even if they don't have bad skin at least it is somewhat realistic looking!
ashopaholic 7 years
Never, I don't wear that much makeup anyways. But I do love looking at what celebs wear (clothing) and getting inspiration from that.
JaimeLeah526 7 years
I do it all the time. I rip out a ton and end up having the same two basic looks in my piles all the time. I go through them and I'm putting them in a little scrapbook because I'm going to be a cosmetologist. I want my clients to be able to pick out a look if they don't have one in mind.

holleighz 7 years
as long as they don't give the step-by-step instructions. those frustrate the hell out of me, not because i can't follow or can't figure out the look on my own, but because they are ridiculous. the model is clearly wearing at least 5 different eyeshadows, and they say, "simply sweep a shimmery green shadow (we love...) across entire lid." yeah, right...
Dollylo 7 years
Don't do that. I've learned from a friend of mine who's working for MAC what looks great on me with my hair, skin color and eyes color!;) I know which colors to use, he tought me some things for casual and party make up! ;) And I'm happy with these tips! ;)

Not necessarily celebs, unless they're modelling makeup! I love seeing Catherine Zeta-Jones all decked out in Elizabeth Arden! Ever since I was little and started wearing makeup I'd try to memorize the "eye" photo staring at me wherever I was buying makeup so I could go home and make my eyes look just like that. I love seeing gorgeous makeup pics and get lots of ideas and looks from them! I'm always playing!!

GUEST COLUMN: Big change coming for local recycling
Change. Oh my! Oh no!
But wait
Those of us at the Tri-County Recycling Center will experience exciting changes when the new center is in full operation and running smoothly — and that date is close.
New building. New processes. New environment. New equipment. New challenges. Changes for our Henderson recycling employees and workers, and our Union County and Webster County recycling employees who deliver their recyclables to Henderson on a regular basis.
But it's good news if you take your recyclables to the Henderson Recycling Center. You will not notice any changes — at least for the time being. Now, you put your newspapers in the newspaper container. You put your No. 1 and No. 2 plastic bottles and jugs in the No. 1 and No. 2 containers. You put the aluminum cans in the aluminum can container or the Habitat for Humanity trailer, etc. etc. And that will stay the same, for right now.
And I have some good news for our Union and Webster County friends. You will NOT notice any changes either. And what's even better, you most likely will not notice any changes to the process you follow when you deposit your recyclables in your compaction centers or at your recycling center.
Now, for Henderson residents living within the city, you'll see an exciting change. You're going to get a great, new recycling bin.
From what I'm told, this new bin will have a lid and wheels and will be a lot easier to get to the curb than the blue containers we currently use.
A reminder for everyone (Henderson, Union and Webster residents) about what to put in your recycle container, whether it's the one you have now or the new one you'll soon receive.
Please do NOT put the following items in your bin: cottage cheese and margarine tubs and lids; yogurt containers; PVC sewer pipe; cookie package containers; the flimsy plastic around the multi-pack of water bottles; Styrofoam egg containers, cups and plates; "Red Solo Cups"; that one tennis shoe that has no pair.
When I'm talking to people about what to recycle and what not to recycle, I have a display of a lot of items, recyclable and not recyclable. And, yes, everything I listed above, I picked out from all the stuff that people "recycled" at the Henderson Recycling Center.
As another reminder, the Henderson Recycling Center is now closed Sundays. Regular hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Webster County residents can take recyclables to one of your compaction centers Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
And if you live in Union County, your recycling center is open from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily and the first Saturday of the month.
Enough change already! I'll be certain to give you plenty of notice before anything changes for YOU. Stay tuned.
So what do you think about all this? Like us on Facebook and email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Susan Sauls is education and outreach specialist for the Tri-County Recycling Alliance.

Over Half of Americans Believe Iraq Better Off Now Than Before U.S. Invasion
NEW YORK, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ — As U.S. troops have now handed off military control to Iraqi forces, there is time for reflection on the Iraqi war. Over half of Americans (57%) believe that Iraq is better off today than it was before the U.S. invasion 7 years ago, with one in five (19%) saying Iraq is much better off and almost two in five (38%) saying somewhat better off. One in five U.S. adults (19%) say Iraq is worse off today, and one-quarter (24%) are not at all sure.
These are some of the results of BBC World News America/Harris Poll of 2,340 adults surveyed online between August 19 and 23, 2010 by Harris Interactive.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100517/NY06256LOGO )
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100517/NY06256LOGO )
Total % Better off (NET) 57 Much better off 19 Somewhat better off 38 Worse off (NET) 19 Somewhat worse off 12 Much worse off 7 Not at all sure 24
Men are more likely than women to say Iraq is better off now (62% versus 51%) and women are more likely to take a "wait and see" approach, saying they are not sure (29% versus 18%). Older Americans are more likely to believe Iraq is better off now than it was before the invasion. Just half of those 18-34 years old (51%) say Iraq is better off today, compared to three in five of those 45-54 (59%) and 55 and older (61%) who say the same.
Although Iraq may be better off, was the war itself worth fighting? Half of Americans (49%) say the war was worth fighting, with 19% saying it was very much worth fighting and 29% saying it was somewhat worth fighting. Two in five Americans (38%) believe the war in Iraq was not at all worth fighting. There is a regional difference on fighting the war. Almost half of those in the Northeast (45%) say the war was not worth fighting while 43% say the opposite. In the South, over half (53%) say the war in Iraq was worth fighting while one-third (33%) say it was not.
Total % Worth fighting (NET) 49 Very much worth fighting 19 Somewhat worth fighting 29 Not at all worth fighting 38 Not at all sure 14
Are we safer?
Americans are divided on the issue of whether the war in Iraq made America more or less safe. Almost two in five (39%) say the war made America safer while just under that (35%) say the war in Iraq made us less safe and one-quarter (26%) are not at all sure.
Total % Safer (NET) 39 Much safer 9 Somewhat safer 30 Less safe (NET) 35 Somewhat less safe 24 Much less safe 12 Not at all sure 26
There is definitely a gender gap on this issue, as well. Men are more likely to say the war made America safer (44% versus 34%) while women are more likely to say it made the country less safe (39% versus 31%). There is also a regional difference here. Almost half of Southerners (46%) say the war in Iraq made America safer while just one-third of Westerners (32%) say the same.
So what?
The history of the Iraq war is still being written and there is still a lot of uncertainty to how the events of the past seven years will be seen. Even as the combat stage of U.S. involvement is over, Americans are not sure what the war meant for both Iraq as well as the United States. The next generation of historians will be the ones to look back and see what the post-Iraq war world looked like.

This BBC World News America/Harris Poll was conducted online within the United States between August 19 and 23, 2010 among 2,340 adults (aged 18 and over). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online.
All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, Harris Interactive avoids the words "margin of error" as they are misleading. All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted, random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close to this ideal.
Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Interactive surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate in the Harris Interactive panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
The results of this Harris Poll may not be used in advertising, marketing or promotion without the prior written permission of Harris Interactive.
These statements conform to the principles of disclosure of the National Council on Public Polls.

Rep Power:
I have seen commercials for the Penstar I can't wait until motor trend (Or another publication) tests it out.
I was somewhat interested in the pentastar v6 at first but am no longer impressed. I read that it makes peak power and torque above 6,000rpm. So that 305hp rating is pretty useless in real world driving. It just looks good on paper.
I think it's kind of funny how people say things like "the v6 has the same power as the 4.7L (305hp vs 310hp) and better mpg, so why have the 4.7L?". They overlook the fact that the 4.7L makes nearly 100 lbft more torque, and it makes it's peak power at mid rpms instead of high rpms(so it's actually usable power). And if you put the 8 speed behind the 4.7L and hemi then they will also get 17 city/25 hwy. Hell my 4.7L with the 6 speed gets very close to 17 city now and at least 20 hwy. Have gotten up as high as like 23 hwy before.
V6's will not run as long either due to poorer balancing.
Then the v6 costs more too.....
I'm not impressed with it.
I also read a review of the new ram and overall they liked it but they said they put like 2,500lbs behind the v6/8 speed and it was terrible.
Breathing in and out is good enough for me.

Dynamic device management with Udev, HAL, and D-Bus
Just a couple of years ago, configuring new hardware on Linux was a daunting task and just one more reason for newcomers to keep clear. Now, Linux offers convenient device management that provides trouble-free, dynamic handling of devices plugged in at run time – including WLAN sticks, digital cameras, and even camcorders. Linux can listen on interfaces such as Bluetooth and Firewire and, if necessary, not only integrate a device you plug in, but launch the matching application as well.
Fortunately, the trend in recent months has been toward standardizing the underlying technologies. Udev has already clearly ousted its predecessor, Devfs, and found its way into the Linux kernel. Now the Freedesktop.org-sponsored team of HAL and D-Bus is establishing itself in the face of competition from the previous Gnome and KDE favorites, Corba and DCOP.
This merge has greatly improved communications between the two desktop environments. Gnome already has a mature front end for dynamic device management with Gnome Volume Manager and related tools. KDE is following suit after considerable restructuring of its libraries in version 4.
The KDE Solid hardware library adds a new and powerful framework to make hardware management on KDE easier than ever. In the months to come, you can look forward to more dynamic device management fireworks.
Short form of User Event. This means a notification event from the kernel to programs in userspace. This memory area, which is separate from the kernel space, is populated by normal programs and non-kernel subsystems. The Udev subsystem runs in userspace.
A virtual filesystem that was introduced with kernel version 2.6. It is normally accessible under /sys and makes device and driver information defined in the Kernel Device Model, the kernel's internal device database, available to programs in userspace.
Short for Interprocess Communication, a method of communication and data exchange between processes on the same computer.

10 December 2013 21:52 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Gevo plans to sell common stock and senior note units in order to raise funds to ramp up bio-based isobutanol production at its Luverne, Minnesota, plant, the US company said on Tuesday.
Gevo also plans to use a portion of the proceeds from the senior note offering to repay $5.1m (€3.7m) in long-term debt obligations, the company said in a news release.
Earlier this year, Gevo started up its second million-litre fermenter and GIFT separation system at its bio-based isobutanol plant, which the company commissioned in May 2012.
Gevo's isobutanol can be used as a building block to make jet fuel and chemical products in markets such as plastics and fibres, as well as solvents and coatings.

Obsess much? Canucks reportedly rip covers off NHL media guides with images of Zdeno Chara holding Cup
|01.11.12 at 11:54 am ET
Miami Herald reporter George Richards noticed something odd in the press box at Monday's Canucks-Panthers game. Someone had ripped the cover off the NHL Official Guide & Record Books that were there for the media.
The cover features a photo of Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara holding the Stanley Cup. Putting two and two together, Richards surmised that someone with the Canucks organization ripped the books in anger at the B's following Saturday's heated battle.
Richards put his photos of the damaged books on his Twitter site, and it's been gaining steam on the web since.

Bruins give Adam McQuaid three-year extension
|07.14.11 at 4:58 pm ET
The Bruins announced Thursday that they have re-signed defenseman Adam McQuaid to a three-year extension. McQuaid, 24, was entering the final year of his current deal at a $600,000 salary ($575,000 cap hit) and was set to become a restricted free agent at season's end.
Despite starting the season as the team's seventh defenseman, injuries to various Bruins' defensemen (starting with Johnny Boychuk) allowed McQuaid to work his way into the lineup last season, and his emergence as a safe defenseman with an edge (he finished second on the team with 12 fighting majors) made former first-round pick Mark Stuart expendable, and the B's shipped Stuart to Atlanta on Feb. 18 in a deal that netted the B's forward Rich Peverley.
The former second-round pick of the Blue Jackets had four goals and 12 assists for 16 points in his 67 games in the regular season. His plus-30 rating tied for fifth in the NHL.
The B's also announced that they have signed forward Craig Cunningham to an entry-level deal and given defenseman Zach McKelvie a one-year deal.

Student Health Insurance To Be Rated Separately
March 7, 2013
Final health insurance market rules published by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on February 27 will not subject student health insurance coverage to the single-risk pool requirement under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Instead, the premium rate for such plans may be based on a school-specific group community rate, if the issuer offers the coverage without rating for age or tobacco use.
HHS had suggested that student health insurance be included in the general individual market risk pool in proposed rules published on November 26. NACUBO joined the American Council on Education and several other associations in comments objecting to combining student health plans with all other individual coverage in each state to set premium levels. (Student health plans are not considered group plans under the ACA because they are not offered by an employer.) The associations were concerned that doing so would drive up costs for students who, as a group, tend to be younger and healthier than the general population.
HHS notes, however, that this treatment of student health insurance is a transitional policy. The agency promises to monitor student health insurance during the 2014 implementation and may revisit the policy in the future.
In addition, the final rules exempt student health coverage from the guaranteed availability and renewability provisions of the ACA, allowing them to restrict coverage to students and their dependents. Further, such plans will not be subject to the standard open enrollment periods that will apply to other individual plans. Issuers will be able to work with the college or university sponsor to determine the appropriate schedules.

The Microstructure of a U.S. Treasury ECN:The BrokerTec Platform
|July 2009 Number 381
Revised May 2014
|JEL classification: G12, G14, C32
Authors: Michael J. Fleming, Bruce Mizrach, and Giang Nguyen
We assess the microstructure of a U.S. Treasury electronic communications network (ECN) and show that limit orders as well as trades affect prices, with greater effects following announcements by the Federal Open Market Committee. We also find that use of iceberg orders, a form of hidden liquidity, is less common than in equity markets. Using logistic regression, we find support for the hypothesis that iceberg orders are used to prevent information leakage and mitigate adverse selection risk. However, volatility and iceberg order use are negatively linked, likely reflecting market participants' preference for an alternative channel of hidden liquidity that gives them greater control over order exposure and execution.

From the Publisher"Crime fiction hasn't seen a character as scrappy, mean, and incredibly appealing as Stella in a long time."—Entertainment Weekly
"An abundance of violence is leavened with humor and heart in this debut novel in what I hope is the start of a new series."—Hallie Ephron, Boston Globe
"Markedly original…The story's compelling, the dialogue perfect—and Stella is one of the most memorable characters of this summer or any other."—Richmond Times-Dispatch
"A Bad Day for Sorry is another of the year's best debuts, a standout mystery distinguished by its charming protagonist and her compelling voice. We don't get many characters like Stella in mystery fiction, but we should. She's fresh and sassy and an awful lot of fun to read about."—David J. Montgomery, Chicago Sun-Times
"In her debut novel, Sophie Littlefield shows considerable skills for delving into the depths of her characters and complex plotting as she disarms the reader.….Littlefield keeps the plot churning with realistic action that doesn't let up….Littlefield's exciting debut should be the start of an even more exciting series."—South Florida Sun-Sentinel

China open to reconfiguring NorthRail project, says Roxas
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
BEIJING—Chinese officials are open to reconfiguring the NorthRail project so that the line will be extended from Mabalacat, Pampanga province, where the Clark airport is, to the Makati City central business district, Transportation Secretary Manuel Roxas II said on Thursday.
The NorthRail project was under review even before President Benigno Aquino III went on a state visit to China because its cost had skyrocketed from $503 million to about $2 billion.
"We have problems with that and so we will reconfigure the project itself, not just the contract, so that it will go into the central business district of Metro Manila. Now it just stops in Caloocan City. It will go to the airport itself because now it stops in Mabalacat," Roxas said.
He said a reconfigured NorthRail project would have safeguards for the Philippine government.
In recognition of Chinese financing, Roxas said the accreditation for interested contractors would be among "experienced Chinese rail companies."
"We can't say that they already agreed. What we can say is that they are open and they did say that the ministers would go back to their counterparts and the details would be given attention," Roxas said.
Suspended operations
Asked when he would meet with his Chinese counterpart, Roxas said: "We will write specifically each other and perhaps in a month's time. But right now, we don't have any added expense (in connection with the NorthRail) because its operations are suspended."
Asked what would become of the expenses incurred by the current contractor, Chinese National Machinery Industry Corp., Roxas said, "We will pay for what services and what has been done because we would also need those."
He said the contractor had only worked on a kilometer of the 80-kilometer stretch from Caloocan to Mabalacat.
"In fact, if we would compute what they already finished versus what we gave them in advance, theoretically they would even need to return funds to us," Roxas said.

That's the kind of press conf. i want to hear about not Dana white bousting about himself and his org.. I want RAW Emotionszzs fighters talking not pres. of company. oOOOhh YYeeaahh!!!!!! What a Rrusshh!!! (Road Warriors ,shit)LOL.
Imagine a motley crue of happy, winning fighters mixed with bruised and battered, losing fighters…then throw in some blood thirsty reporters. Let's just say that Gary Shaw was smart in letting all the fighters say their peace first and let us ask questions later. I won't get into all the boring details of the press conference, but here were some highlights:
James Thompson stopped in before he went to the hospital (he was having trouble breathing) — he seemed so humble. Very classy guy.
Brett Rogers made a seemingly innocent comment about Kimbo's fighting ability (of course, Kimbo was not yet in the room).
Kimbo came in as Gina Carano was speaking. Suddenly no one cared what she was saying anymore.
And then the s**t hits the fan. Once the press is allowed to start asking questions, people go for the jugular. Someone pretty much tells Kimbo what Rogers said…and that's when there's suddenly a swarm on the stage. Lawler is holding Kimbo back. Baroni is holding Rogers back. Both their corners are trash talking. I even get my foot stepped on by someone scrambling to get up there. But finally things are calmed down and the press can start firing away again. A few minutes go by of harmless questions. Then, hands shaking and heart racing, I decided to be brave. I ask Robbie Lawler if he's disappointed that his fight wasn't the main event despite being a championship fight. Robbie laughs and jokes that it doesn't matter to him because he'd get paid the same either way. I'm relieved…until Shaw grabs the mike and looks at me. He tells me that that was an aggressive question, and that ALL the fights were equal, they were ALL main events. Yeah, yeah whatever. And I bet he doesn't play favorites with his kids either.
That's the kind of press conf. i want to hear about not Dana white bousting about himself and his org.. I want RAW Emotionszzs fighters talking not pres. of company. oOOOhh YYeeaahh!!!!!! What a Rrusshh!!! (Road Warriors ,shit)LOL.
AdrainTapia, awesome reporting. how did you manage to procure passes to the press conference and ringside seats?? and what part of nj are u from? i'm from central nj.
Media Credentials my friend….CageTodays writer Nichole is from NJ, so it just made sense for her to attend and get that great coverage.
Unlike the UFC, other organization's still let blogs and non-mainstream news sites cover their events.
Great coverage Nichole. I love how you asked a controversial question that incensed a reaction from the PRESIDENT GARY SHAW!! Exactly what good journalists are supposed to do. Great story.
Great journalist there. Nichole I hate all of the questions that are just fluff. No real MMA fans care about all of that. You went for it and even though Lawler can't speak his mind, it shows that the Pres. had a little to hide there.
By the way I saw the video for the Kimbo and Rogers altercation. After it was done Shaw and Kimbo were up there talking with their arms one each others shoulders. How says there are not favorites huh Shaw?
Thanks for all the compliments guys. I was thinking the same thing about everyone else's questions. Who that Phil Baroni still wants a paycheck, or that Gary Shaw loves CBS and Showtime?!?
My husband actually thought I was nuts for asking….but I just had to! I really felt like Lawler got dissed by the whole evening.
And btw Derek – I'm also from central NJ
hey nichole. i would love to see the response from shaw from that question…priceless.
kom34 – it was funny, he seemed pretty pissed – called it an "aggravated question". If you can find a video of the full press conference, it comes up shortly after the kimbo/rogers argument.
they stopped the fight early
nice. i'll check out the press conference. they probably have it on the elite site.
the video i saw had your question and then robbie starting to answer. after that it cut to the next scene. nice job because they cut our shaws reaction from the video i saw. i dont know if lawler is cocky or hates shaw but he didnt seem interested in anything shaw was saying.
kom, I think that says a lot that they cut shaw's reaction – shows a lot about what ppl think of shaw lol
lawler didn't seem too cocky to me, he just didn't seem to care. like he said, he'd get paid the same either way. he prolly also realizes what a d-bag shaw is.

Taiwan's HTC: iPhone's `quiet' challenger
Still, Apple has a daunting sales lead and HTC also faces competition from South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co., Nokia Corp. and other rivals.
HTC was just behind Apple in the final quarter of 2008, selling 3.7 million phones to its American rival's 4.4 million, according to Wallis-Jones. A year and a half later, Apple has pulled ahead, selling 8.4 million in the second quarter of this year, while HTC sold 5.4 million.
But HTC is seeing its sales jump. It expects to ship 6.5 million phones in the current quarter, more than twice the number it shipped in the same period last year.
HTC cut its teeth on smart phones that used Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Mobile software. But when Google released its Android smart phone software in 2008, HTC was the first manufacturer on board, and that's paid off. Every U.S. carrier except AT&T, the home of the iPhone, is pushing Android phones as the alternative to the iPhone.
HTC is pitted against Apple in the legal arena as well. Apple sued HTC in March in the U.S., accusing it of violating 20 iPhone patents. In May, HTC filed a countersuit accusing Apple of violating five patents.
Among consumers, HTC needs to create a distinctive identity as more than a manufacturer, said Joseph Pai, chairman of advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather Taiwan.
"They get the technology right, but Apple is considered fun and creative and very bright," said Pai. "HTC is quite serious. Their technology is good. They keep coming out with new products. But they need to find their own personality."
HTC is working on that, trying to build a reputation for anticipating users' needs and inventing appealing solutions, Wang said. The company calls that "HTC Sense" and says it wants to create "moments of delight."
Its innovations include allowing users to group together friends' e-mail, social networking and other contacts under their names, while the iPhone requires separate contact lists for each function. HTC phones can sense when they are in a pocket or purse and ring louder. The EVO has a tiny kickstand to stand upright for video conferencing.
HTC promotes itself as a cross-border brand, with no mention of its Taiwanese roots. The company holds major product launches in London or New York, rather than Asia.
"People don't really think of Sony as Japanese any more. That's what I envision HTC to be," Wang said. "Eventually people will see HTC as a global brand, not necessarily from Taiwan or Europe or the U.S."

Charles Slaughter Morehead papers
University of Kentucky Special CollectionsLexington, Kentucky 40506
Arranged by accession number.
Collection is open for research.
[Identification of item], Charles Slaughter Morehead papers, 1838-1857, 1VF61M125, 1VF63M96, 1VF64M73, AAL5984LM, Special Collections, University of Kentucky.
4 pieces.
Kentucky Governor, U.S Congressman. Morehead, a native of Nelson County, Ky. received a law degree from Transylvania University. His political career included six years as state attorney general, lengthy service in the Kentucky House of Representatives, and two terms as House Speaker. Morehead represented Kentucky in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Whig and was a presidential elector for Winfield Scott on the 1852 Whig ticket. With the demise of that political party, Morehead joined the American or "Know- Nothing" Party, which esposed nativist principles.
He was the Whigs' gubernatorial candidate in 1855, winning the election by a narrow margin in a race marred by the anti-foreign riot in Louisville known as "Bloody Monday." He declared the rights of slaveholders inviolate in any territory when he was governor and as a private citizen, strongly advocated neutrality for Kentucky as a private citizen at the beginning of the Civil War. Morehead was imprisoned after criticizing the cutoff of trade with the South. Paroled in 1862, Morehead fled the country rather than take an oath of allegiance. He returned to a plantation in Mississippi after the war, where he died in 1868.
These papers contain four letters written by Charles Slaughter Morehead while U.S. Congressman (1848-1851) and Governor of Kentucky (1855- 1859). One letter is from Morehead to Daniel Webster, promising support for the 1852 Whig presidential nomination (64M73). Two others also concern politics. One, written in 1838 to J. J. Crittenden, discusses Henry Clay's presidential prospects (62M9). The other, to Leslie Combs in 1848, analyzes Crittenden's resignation from the U.S. Senate (63M96). The fourth letter concerns accommodations at the Galt House hotel in Louisville (61M9).

Sunday was one of those days in which previous good fortune switches - not maliciously, but annoyingly.
It's January 30, the temperature is hovering just above zero, we have a foot of snow on the ground and I am wishing spring was a little closer.
The Manteca Rangers under-13 boys team advanced to the California Youth Soccer Association State Cup's Sweet 16 round of play.
The sun finally showed itself the other day, signaling to me that spring is just around the corner.
I love food.
Fishing after a storm sometimes can turn the bite on.
Seven Mantecans were a part of a Northern California all-star team that competed in the Legends Cup in Chino Hills this past weekend.
The cool air, choppy water and grey skies were befitting.
Most resolutions are stupid, especially ones that fish make about not biting the Montana Special.
January is the month for boat shows.
Last year I resolved to be anti-gear, not because it was the time of year where people lie to themselves about making changes, but because it happened to coincide with a .44 magnum and 12-gauge shotgun, among other things that go boom, all that cost money.
While speaking to a lot of close friends and relatives, they all pretty much can't wait for the New Year to come.
Santa's last name is Hernandez.

The Walljasper family just had a Saturday to remember.
Five months ago, Ronnie Green cobbled together a soccer team consisting of Manteca Unified rivals with a few more from Stockton.
The Northgate Little League junior Pirates won four in a row with a 6-5 squeaker over the Giants.
The under-9 Benfica Red girls of the Manteca Futbol Club went unbeaten at the NorCal Spring Premier Playdate No. 2 on Sunday.
The Manteca Rangers under-13 girls soccer team is headed to the Pacific Northwest to compete in the President's Cup Regionals.
Mason Merilles added more awards and records to his growing collection this past Saturday.
SUNDAY BRING HOME THE BACON: Sokha Moa 205-258-286/749, Vincent Reed 244-267/709, Jeff Spohn 214-223-264/701, Marcus Aldridge 202-245-247/694, Mario Ramirez 232-268/675, Jerome Carl 220-243/659, Shedrick Bryant 217-257/659, Andre Aldridge 218-224/609, Jesse Woodruff 205-214/607,Charlie Padre 245-605, Mark Ross 223, Riley Martin 222, Joel Diamantine 216, Mike Huntington 205, Patrick Dean 203, Eric Swanson 202, Janet Barnett 204-225/624, Inga Perryman 190/533, Kelli Woodruff 211/516
Playing on a bigger field against older competition, Dash proved it could still dominate.
The Northgate Little League Diamondbacks fell short against the Cardinals 10-5 despite some clutch individual play in Triple-A action.
BERKELEY (AP) - Jeremy Hemsley scored 13 of his 20 points in the second half and Damien went on a big run in the fourth quarter to beat Campolindo 70-57 in the CIF Division III boys state basketball championship on Friday.
BERKELEY (AP) - Gigi Garcia scored two straight baskets and Alex Washington added a late layup and two free throws to lead McClatchy (Sacramento) to a 65-61 double-overtime win over Serra of Gardena in the Division I girls state basketball championship on Friday.

Friday Harbor rental
San Juan Get-A-Away
Great Stay in Friday Harbor at The Lofts
From the Owner
"This is the first secure 2nd floor Loft type apartments built in Friday Harbor. They were designed to creatively utilize the unused open space of the upstairs of the Ace Hardware building. The original tenant of Unit D, was a world class faux artist and this Loft was her portfolio. Plus, this unit has a wonderful balcony for viewing the water, watching the activity of downtown and the farmers market."
Activity and Interests
San Juan Island is the best area to actually see Orca whales in the wild easily during the summer months. Fall and Spring it is a birders paradise with many species passing through en route to their winter home or summer breeding grounds. Many birds reside here in the winter, most beautiful are the Trumpeter Swans and the Great Blue Heron, plus the largest population of Bald Eagles outside of Alaska, reside in the San Juan Islands. We have 3 National Parks on our small beautiful island so there are a lot of opportunities for hiking on the well marked trails.

The Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) is an international organization of more than 7,000 individual members that includes representatives from industry, academia, and government institutions. Annual meetings, publications, field conferences, and short courses ensure an active communication of economic geology-related concepts within the membership and with the economic geology profession at large. Members of SEG have access to a network of fellow explorationists—an invaluable asset in today's rapidly changing employment market. In addition, members receive advance notice and discounted rates for hands-on field courses and publications that can enhance one's skill set and information base.
My success is also very much related to my long involvement with SEG. The Society has, throughout my career, provided the opportunity to meet so many leaders in mineral deposits research and exploration, all of whom give freely of their time and intellect to encourage the professional development of our community. I have profited thoroughly from my involvement with SEG, first a critical source of knowledge during my student days, and since then through its publications, conferences and field trips, my opportunity to serve as associate editor of Economic Geology, councillor, President, a founding member of the SEG Canada Foundation, and chair of SEG 2010 meeting.
--Jim Franklin

Gordon Bricken, the former Santa Ana mayor who spent more than a decade walking Orange County cemeteries to find graves of former Civil War soldiers, lost his battle with cancer on Monday. He was 76.
Bricken was appointed mayor by the Santa Ana City Council in 1981 and served until 1983. City records show he was elected to the council in 1975.
Before his city council involvement, Bricken served for 10 years on the Planning Commission, on which he served as chairman for one year. His wife, Maureen Bricken, said that at 26 or 27 years old, he was the youngest member of the commission.
Bricken was passionate about attracting businesses to Santa Ana and about the city's transportation system, his wife said.
A 1983 congressional record, provided by the Santa Ana Public Library, shows that Bricken led the Orange County delegation to the "Invest in America's Cities" conference in Hong Kong and served on the board of directors of the Santa Ana Economic Development Corp. He also supported local rail transportation by participating in local and national conferences.
"He was a person of high integrity and he never had trouble looking at himself in the mirror with any decision that he made," Maureen Bricken said. "He was a very secure person and very active in our church."
During his term as mayor, Bricken helped bring forth the opening of a downtown parking structure, as well as the debut of the Orange County World Trade Center. He was also involved with the initial development of Sasscer Park.
After his time on the council, Bricken dedicated his days to documenting military history in Orange County.
One Memorial Day, Bricken was driving near the Santa Ana cemetery and noticed the scattered confederate flags, a tribute to Civil War soldiers. That encounter sparked his curiosity and his Civil War headstone hunt began.
Along with others from the Orange County Blue and Gray Project, Bricken found more than 800 Civil War veterans buried in Orange County cemeteries. His research turned into a 200-page book he titled "Pioneers in Blue and Gray."
"When these people passed away, their contributions to the community passed away with them, for the most part," Bricken said in a previous Orange County Register article.
Bricken said he wrote the book to, "In some way to make these people live again."
He also penned "The Civil War Legacy in Santa Ana."

Quebec City for free
I was there with friends. Lovely staff, nice food, you can bring your own wine! I really enjoy my night there!
Panang curry is my favorite, so I rate the Thai restaurants that I frequent with the degree of the flavor of the mentioned above dish. I asked for mildly hot, well it was rather sweet. For Americans traveling in Quebec, you should ask for the medium to even feel the tang. You can Bring Your Own Bottle which is a...
Food is definetly good for price but it wasn't astonishing. I took red curry and the sauce was kind of tasteless. My family member wasnt impress eithier.
We detoured off the highway enroute to Montreal with the intent of avoiding the fast food traps and enjoy a real meal with the kids. Unfortunately, we found this restaurant does not live up to the great reviews on Trip Advisor, which frankly, is rare. We were promptly seated by a polite but sullen server. One of the waitresses reached...
We ventured outside the Old City to this restaurant and had a good meal there. It was very reasonably priced and clearly a popular place to eat; we had to wait a little bit for a table. Service was very good. The food, while tasty, was not spectacular. Also, it's awkward to wait for a table as there is no...
I made the reservation hoping it would be a nice experience and all family members were pleased with the food, price and cleanliness.
Food taste is Authentic. Tried both chicken and seafood spicy red curry. Service is excellent too. Bring your own wine because alcools are not offered.
I go there about every other month and never been disatisfied. The service is more family style, don't expect a Maître D' when you have a full meal for $20.00, plus I go there for the food, not the decor. It's clean and neat, I don't need more. And there is plenty on the plates. You got to make choice...
Expectations were high after reading the reviews on this site. However, the most important aspect of any restaurant is the food. And this is where Restaurant Banlao faltered.
The first dish that I ordered was the crab and asparagus soup. Watery and rather bland.
The main dish was the curried shrimp. The sauce was far too watery, and the shrimp...

'Impact' of law enforcement initiative is teamwork
Cooperation among agencies seen as major goal of operation
The 50-plus federal, state and local agencies involved in this weekend's "Operation Sudden Impact" count on that name becoming something of a misnomer.
Later today, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, which coordinated the effort with police agencies from six counties and three states, is expected to release arrest numbers from the 24-hour operation that began at 7 a.m. Saturday. Call that the "sudden impact."
But it's the cooperation among agencies including the FBI, the Coast Guard, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and local police and sheriff's departments that could make for a lasting impact.
"We all deal with the same people and same information," said Sgt. Brett Grosmann of the DeSoto County Sheriff's Department. "But we don't (always) know the other person has the information."
"It's just the open communication," added Insp. Steve Todd of the Bartlett Police Department. "In the past, there wasn't a lot of communication. Everybody seemed to do their own thing."
While the operation was billed as a regional "anti-terrorism initiative," the scope was also broad -- everything from the serving of fugitive warrants to spot checks of boats on the Mississippi River to ensuring drivers in Tipton County had their children properly fastened into child safety seats.
"Not all of this initiative is to arrest people," said Deputy Chief Donna Turner of the Tipton County Sheriff's Department.
Many agencies put an emphasis on traffic stops. A little after 8 p.m. Saturday in Hickory Hill, Sgt. Chris Harris of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office street crimes unit stopped a white SUV that was booming with music. The driver was driving on a suspended license -- he received a citation -- and there was marijuana residue in the car, but "not enough to weigh out," Harris said.
Still, every traffic stop holds the potential of netting much more than expected.
"Timothy McVeigh, who bombed the federal building in Oklahoma, was stopped because of a busted tail light," said Shelby County Sheriff Mark Luttrell.
Todd said he expected Bartlett police to hit more than 50 houses Saturday night and this morning in search of fugitives. Those they didn't find and arrest, he expected they might apprehend within a few days.
"Some of these people will turn themselves in later once they know we know where they live," Todd said. "Family members will put pressure on them."
Lt. Timothy Martin, chief of response for the Coast Guard's Sector Lower Mississippi River unit, said in recent weeks they have been working with local police and fire departments.
"We're out there to show that just as the land side is covered by police and the sheriff," Martin said, "we're on the water, boarding boats, checking bridges, refineries and power plants."
All crime-related information will be forwarded to the State of Tennessee's Homeland Security Center in Nashville to see if there are possible ties to terrorism.
