Denair High bounced back from last week's fourth-quarter letdown against Le Grand High with its most dominant performance of the season on Monday. Hosting Delhi High, the Coyotes (6-7 overall; 2-2 SAL) controlled the court both offensively and took the win with a score of 72-44 - their highest output yet. Denair is now 2-2 in the Southern Athletic League and is set to face league frontrunner Gustine High on Tuesday.
League play has begun for local high school student-athletes but just before things start to really get going, one final showdown took place on Saturday at Buhach Colony's gym between the Modesto Metro Conference and the Central California Conference.
Hilmar High hosted its third annual Hilmar Lions Tournament on Saturday and welcomed five wrestling teams from the surrounding area to compete in the recently revamped tournament.
Turlock Christian High is new to the Central California Athletic Alliance, so this year's league campaign on the basketball court is being waged against unfamiliar opponents. Gone from the Southern Athletic League where its girls won league titles in four of the past five years, TC is looking at this season as a chance to establish itself as a team to be reckoned with in the CCAA.
Turlock High's girls basketball team has struggled through a string of injuries in 2015. With the loss of sophomore standout Shae Williams for the season due to an ACL tear and issues with sprained ankles and concussions with a couple other players, the Bulldogs found themselves pulling up reserves from the JV ranks last week just to be able to compete.
Pitman High and Golden Valley High waged a neck-and-neck race for last year's Central California Conference wrestling championship that saw the Pride edge out the Cougars to claim their first CCC title in program history.
Wednesday marked the start of Southern Athletic League play for the Denair High wrestling team which welcomed a thin Orestimba squad at home.
With only one game left in preseason, the Pitman High boys basketball team was looking for any spark and they got that on Tuesday night after Branson Garcia knocked in 24 points to lead the Pride into a 66-38 home shellacking over Livingston and snap a three game losing.
The Bulldog Classic has been a destination tournament for wrestlers for years. Scheduled at the end of pre-league competition, Turlock High has used its home tournament as a way to prepare its wrestlers for the Central California Conference, pitting them against talent from a variety of local schools.
MANTECA - Missing four starters due to injury, the visiting Turlock girls basketball team was no match for Manteca on Monday as the host Buffaloes wrapped up non-league play with a 50-29 win at Winter Gymnasium.
The Turlock High Bulldogs ended their year at the 15th Annual Modesto Christian Holiday Hoop Classic on Tuesday, but not with confetti and cheers. The Bulldogs lost to Salesian, 55-58.
The Pitman High boys varsity basketball team won the eight-team Oakdale Tournament last year and the Pride were looking to repeat as the champions this season, but fate had another thing in mind.
The Pitman High girls started their second annual holiday tournament with a dominating performance over Pacheco, 68-42, however the Lady Pride were not able to hold on to that momentum for the following two rounds of play, and ended the tourney in eighth place.
Pitman High signaled the beginning of the second annual Pitman Pride Holiday Classic with a dominant performance against Pacheco High Friday night as its girls pounced on the Panthers for a 68-42 win.
Turlock High fell short of orchestrating a fourth-quarter comeback Friday afternoon in its game against Inglewood High in the 15th Annual Modesto Christian Holiday Hoop Classic, losing 53-58 in the first day of the four-day tournament.
Page 7 of 99
Pitman High track and field head coach Thad Moren said the Pride has had one goal in mind since finishing the last league meet in April. That goal was to put all the season's hard work into a top showing at last week's CIF Sac-Joaquin Division I Section finals.
Most high school athletes hope to find a college willing to offer them an athletic scholarship, but very few are chosen-especially twice.
Boys Tennis
Hilmar High walked out of the Trans Valley League track season and into the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV/V Championship Trials with four TVL champions - Dani Olson, Hudson Harris, Kenzye Spears and Angelique Souza.
Since claiming the Southern Athletic League championship in 2012 for the first time in program history, Delhi High's boys track team has struggled to add another league title year to its banner. The Hawks have been in the running the past two years, but ultimately fell just short, and it seemed that would again be the case in 2015.
The members of the Pitman High softball team held their heads high on Monday afternoon.
The Pitman High Pride were coming off a clutch one-run victory over Gregori last week and looked to continue their playoff streak as they had their eyes set on the quarterfinal match on Monday against a familiar foe from the Modesto Metro Conference-Beyer High.

NCAA: No to L'ville Men's N.O. Trip
When the euphoria of its 82–76 victory over Michigan in the national title game on Monday night had partially worn off, Louisville's men's basketball team turned part of its attention to its counterparts on the women's team and their own championship game against UConn on Tuesday - only for the NCAA to step in and be a complete buzz kill.
Louisville had made a request that the men's team be allowed to travel to New Orleans to cheer on the Lady Cardinals, only to be turned down by the NCAA on the grounds that it was an extra benefit for the players.
Rick Pitino, never one to shy away from speaking his mind, said the NCAA ought to be ashamed for the ruling. While we understand college sports' governing body wanting to strictly follow the rules, their ruling in this instance just feels ridiculous.

Kong EXTREME is the best!
posted 5 years ago
These are the BEST, the only toy that can survive my Jack Russells' extreme chewing unscathed. We can't give them anything else and expect it to last more than a few minutes.
Pros: Durable

Topics covered on today's edition of the show:
- We preview all of the Knockout Round games set to be played..
- Don't just assume it'll be Canada/Switzerland in the QF.
- Are the Slovaks as bad as they've looked? What about the Czechs?
- Could Finland's defensive scheme give Russia fits in their potential QF game?
- We devoted more time than anyone ever has to a discussion about Team Austria..
- Why are people blaming Sidney Crosby for Canada's "lack" of offense?
- Who are the best names involved in the tournament? Here's a sample.
Click past the jump to stream the podcast!
Getting Luckier
Lots of people might be worried about the Canadian men's hockey team right now. My advice? You probably shouldn't be. As much as people are focusing on the negative, there's a lot of positive arrows - including their three wins.
What you missed while you were sleeping
Dimitri Filipovic
February 14 2014 07:56AM
Can't sleep.. hockey.
I've come down with a lethal case of the Olympic fever and its progressively impairing my ability to sleep at the hours that I'd typically being doing so at. For the past two days now, my schedule has consisted of napping throughout the day so that I can run the Men's hockey gauntlet at night (with the trio of midnight, 4:30AM, and 9AM games).
Based on Twitter traffic, some of you out there are crazy enough to devote your sleeping hours to watching hockey, but most of you aren't (and I don't blame you for it). If you're in the latter camp you're probably waking up just now, wondering what you've missed over in Sochi as you snoozed.
Luckily for you, I've got you covered. Read on past the jump for some of the most important things that you need to know to be able to consider yourself caught up with the happenings.
Scoring Chances: Slovenia v. Russia
Dimitri Filipovic
February 13 2014 08:27AM
In case you were wondering why I was watching Russia/Slovenia instead of USA/Slovakia, the explanation is here. I lost a friendly wager to Cam Charron on our podcast, and as a result I had to watch a game of his choosing. Against all odds, it wound up being a blessing.. because this game actually wound up being more competitive and intriguing than the butt whooping the States gave their Slovakian opponents.
Anyways, just past the jump I'll run through how Russia eventually wound up opening their slate of games in front of the home crowd by beating Slovenia, 5-2. There will be scoring chance data provided, to go along with some of my musings.
February 11 2014 07:22PM
Can it really be 4 years since the Olympics in Vancouver already? Simple math would suggest that is the case but we have a sneaking suspicion we may have fallen through some sort of worm hole or rip in the space time continuum. It seriously can't be 4 years can it? Hmm.

MarQ Spekt - Do It 2 Death
Artist: MarQ Spekt
Producer: J-Scrilla
Album: Persona Non Grata EP
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 7 votes )
"We don't do it to do it, yo, we Do It 2 Death." Such is the philosophy that Booth newcomer MarQ Spekt brings to his hustle. For a better idea of just how seriously he takes his hustle, simply click "play" on the inaugural leak off his forthcoming EP (an exclusive world premiere!), which finds the Atlanta-based rhymesayer delivering raw and uncut lyrical fire over a smooth, sampled beat by project collaborator J-$crilla. Spekt and $crilla's Persona Non Grata EP has yet to receive a drop date, but those who like what they're hearing can keep it locked for release details, as well as all the latest tunes.

In an important and increasingly rare victory for Texas consumers, the Insurance Commisioner, Mike Geeslin, has declared that insurance companies can no longer use "discretionary clauses" in certain policies. This new rule will apply to life, disability, and health insurance, but not to automobile liability insurance.
A discretionary clause essentially gives an insurance company the right to unilaterally decide what the policy covers, and therefore what benefits, if any, should be paid. What this has meant in the past is that regardless of what the insurance agent told you when you bought the policy, and regardless of what seemed to be clear language in the policy, when you filed for benefits you might simply be told that the insurance is not going to pay.

@offici4lcreeper you can sacriface d5 so then the queen can take d5 again and it will be more developed, and you are away better because your queen is on the center
I like this opening against much stronger players. I feel it has a better chance of drawing
Hi there
bad oppening
White players often don't realize that while the Exchange French is less tactical than other lines in the French, it is not necessarily a good way of avoiding opening theory since there are various ways for Black to imbalance the game and try to play for a win.
great opening
j'adore cette defence
good opening
important opening
dominance of center squares
the opening is ok
Why cant black see that the white can get him, cant he just move one?
Open position.
1st on list!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah
WIERD for white, but a little uncomfy for black
@teddyganea At first thought when seeing that it does appear that white is in a bad position. To counter your setup for black, I would do kc3 forcing your Queen to retreat or reposition in a less advantageous position.
Don't know why following opening moves is better even if i play without those opening rules strengthening mind that i have strong chances to win. what if i don't follow opening, will i lose?
Weird Transposition into a Queen's Gambit like format. The only thing different is the initial amount of pawns on the board or both King's Pawns being lost/captured. It doesn't seem to do anything advantagous with the exception for Black.
Isn't lining pawns up supposed to be bad?

Why Search? Let LaunchGram Bring New Product Info To You

Despite the emasculating surroundings our conversation continued as the ebullient Ms. Bureau… Read More
Do We Even Need NFC For Mobile Payments? PayPal, Google Weigh In (Video)
If you tried to judge whether NFC mobile payments are ready for prime time — based on the amount of chatter you hear in your newsfeed — you'd think the contactless technology was on the brink of ubiquitous adoption. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, there are documented sources out there citing that we are four, five, maybe even ten years away from a realistic… Read More

Aurasma Augments Reality Anywhere — Even Waiting For A Cab
At many conferences, like the Mobile World Congress, it seems the best demos usually end up happening while waiting in line for lunch or for a cab.

It is a perfect example of the "elevator demo" and in one way illustrates the portability of many… Read More
DigiMo Cracks The Code: Mobile Payments With No Point Of Sale Changes
DigiMo, is a mobile payments platform that actually makes sense to me.

TC@MWC: Hands-On With The Sony Xperia U
Besides a fear of imminent conjunctivitis from handling the same phone as hundreds of others at the Sony Xperia Press Event at the GSMA Mobile World Congress…what else comes to mind?

HTC One Lineup Revealed: The One X, One S, And One V

ZOOM's B3 Bass Effects Pedal Launches At NAMM
In a lot of the Paneldome demos I have done, I (flailingly) play guitar, but I am actually a bass player. That's why I am excited to hear about the Zoom B3 Effect Pedal/Amp Simulator released today at NAMM. The promise of "a stompbox pedalboard with the power of a multi-effects pedal and USB audio interface" for bass guitar is tempting. This all-in-one design would definitely… Read More

Effect of Lutein and Zeaxanthin on Macular Pigment and Visual Function in Patients with Early Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
Ophthalmology. 2012 Aug 1

The macular pigments, lutein and zeaxanthin, are thought to play an important role in the morphologic and functional integrity of the retina. Several features of these pigments have suggested that they may be modifiable risk factors for the onset or the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). These include their unusually high concentration in the macula, their ability to filter blue light and their ability to protect...

1. I like the idea of the game, about time a larger multi-player racer came out.
2. It is not an MMO.
If they had made it a persistent world where you just go and drive and could come across players all over the place, that would have made the idea 10x greater. Like being able to drive from Paris to Moscow, with random "races" throw in.Mon Feb 10 2014 11:22AM Report
Driving in a video game with in game physics and sliding is more challenging than in real life.
Im not sure I would enjoy having to memorize every track since it really requires perfection in a driving video game when driving with pros.
The different game modes sounds interesting, and maybe they can offer a lot that rewards players of different skill levels.
I personally would like to see player created tracks, and engine modifications and teaching players at the same time about cars.Tue Feb 11 2014 1:14AM Report

that was so fast i didn't even catch any of it. i don't know if i had the time wrong but i had to catch a replay. i don't think the ufc made a lot of new fans with that fight. they should have had GSP fight on the first card because he is very athletic and he doesn't finish fights early. you can almost be guaranteed the full hour when he fights.
ben henderson vs. frankie edgar is going to be a dynamite fight. i'm glad he won.

Party demands sacking of Union Minister Antulay
Leaders appointed to talk to allies on
seat-sharing for Lok Sabha polls
NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party, in a resolution adopted by its office-bearers here on Wednesday, called for stopping all bilateral engagements with Pakistan to send a strong message to the international community that Pakistan is the epicentre of world terror.
Wherever a terrorist attack takes place in the world, it has some "definite Pakistani linkage" and if Pakistan is not willing to take tough action against terrorists on its soil, India must consider "all options" without resorting to any hype, the resolution stated.
On the Antulay controversy, the party repeated that it would not be satisfied with anything less than the sacking of the Union Minister for Minority Affairs.
Poll preparedness
Party spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad indicated that the BJP would start preparing for the Lok Sabha poll in earnest by early January with first-time young voters' conventions and constituency-wise party workers' conventions which would be attended by booth-level workers.
BJP president Rajnath Singh had on Tuesday set up two committees to look at the reasons for the party's electoral defeats in Rajasthan and Delhi. Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha L.K. Advani on Wednesday said that the Congress had not won these two States, rather, the BJP had lost them and there were lessons for the BJP to learn from this defeat.
With the party's National Executive Committee and National Council scheduled to meet in Nagpur late January 2009, the reports were expected to be ready by then to enable the leadership to work out strategies for the Lok Sabha elections avoiding the mistakes made in Delhi and Rajasthan.
The committee on Rajasthan has as its members Yashwant Sinha and Thawarchand Gehlot, while the BJP's Delhi debacle will be dissected by Bal Apte and Ananth Kumar.
By the time the National Council meeting takes place in Nagpur the country will definitely be in election mode. Already the leadership has signalled that some of its heavyweight leaders of the next generation may be asked not to contest the Lok Sabha elections as they could then spend all their time helping the party fight the Lok Sabha elections.
The BJP has announced that the business of seat-sharing with its allies will start, as will the process of selection of candidates. In Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, Arun Jaitley has been given the charge of talking to allies, Sushma Swaraj will talk to the allies in Punjab and Haryana. Venkaiah Naidu has been declared to be the chairman of the party's campaign committee for the Lok Sabha elections. He has also been given charge of speaking to allies on seat-sharing in Maharashtra, Orissa and Assam.
Sushma Swaraj has signalled that she may not contest the elections if that is what the leadership wants. "Instead of being tied down to one constituency, I will be free to campaign throughout the country," she told a few reporters on Tuesday.
Mr. Naidu is also unlikely to be asked to contest as there is no safe seat for the BJP in Andhra Pradesh. It is not yet known what Mr. Jaitley will do eventually, but he too may be asked to settle for a Rajya Sabha seat so that he can help organise the Lok Sabha elections.

Product Information
What It Is
The LeapPad2 Custom Edition is identical to the 2013 redesign of the original LeapPad but with one addition-the ability to customize the faceplate and the wallpaper. The unit comes with 10 adhesive faceplates, including two that you can color yourself, and 11 different wallpapers, so kids can customize their LeapPads the way their parents customize their devices. Kids can scroll through the different wallpapers to create the exact look they want.
In other respects, the LeapPad is still a powerful tablet for preschoolers. Since our earlier reviews, the library has grown to more than 800 games, apps, music, videos, and more, all of which have been reviewed and approved by the LeapFrog educator team. The technical specs are the same as the most recent LeapPad2 with 4 GB of storage space, a fast 550 MHz processor, and an easy-to-use touchscreen with a stylus.
You can check out Laurie's review for full information on the LeapPad2, its features, and much more.
Is It Fun?
It's worthwhile to repeat that we really are big fans of the LeapPad. Kids still get the same great LeapFrog play that remembers and adjusts to each child's individual progress. The responsiveness of the touchscreen more closely replicates adult tablets than other preschool tablets. And each of the different activities available on the LeapPad2 engages kids in fun ways to build skills in reading, math, science, vocabulary, and more.
Who It's For
The LeapPad2 Custom Edition is for ages 3-9.
What To Be Aware Of
The adhesive labels are very easy to apply, though it's recommended that an adult do it to make sure everything lines up correctly. The wallpapers are easy to change, too.
The LeapPad takes four AA batteries that are required but not included, and a separate recharger pack is available for $39.99.
Any app you previously purchased for the LeapPad will work. And other accessories are sold separately.

"If they weren't here, they would probably be at high risk of more violence or sleeping on the streets. Women and girls needs safe havens like this in Cambodia," said Fiona Mann, 26, an advocacy and policy adviser for CWDA.
Pich* was six years old when her father died of hepatitis, leaving her mother with five young children to feed and no money for groceries. Pich's mother sold her as collateral to a loan shark, who then, in turn, forced her to work in a local market until she was 12.
Now 19, she has just hit her seventh year living in the safe house and hopes to start university next year. When she's not lending an extra hand at the shelter, volunteering for a local youth-oriented NGO is one way she loves to spend her days.

Family of 4 stayed 2 nights. Room and sheets clean and smelled nice. New owner/manager is making an effort to revamp an older motel. Small bathroom with only a shower but it does have a fridge, air conditioner and microwave. Manager was very nice and spoke to us every time we saw him. As I said before it is older and does have a few little quirks but it was clean and I felt very welcome and safe. We will stay again when in the Mammoth Cave area.

When I came to Elkin in 1987 my wrestlers competed on an old gold mat that at least went back into the 1970s. Twenty-seven years later (and bearing the paint of two reconditioning jobs) my wrestlers still competed on the same old shrinking mat.
When Coach Matt Dunn opens his first season as Elkin's coach, he will do so on a new 42-foot-by-42-foot wrestling mat.
The new mat was made possible by a gift to Elkin High School by the Foothills Fury Wrestling Club and a grant by Weyerhaeuser. In 2011, Athletic Director Tony Duncan obtained a grant that was slated for reconditioning the existing mat or purchasing a new one. The grant covered about 35 per cent of the cost of the new mat.
Josh Price, a former Elkin High School state placer and a coach with the Fury, began to solicit donations to the club for the purchase of a mat. This gift by the Foothills Fury coupled with the grant that was earlier secured, led to the delivery of the mat March 31.
The Foothills Fury Wrestling Club is a nonprofit organization that promotes youth wrestling in the Tri-County area. The club has made use of Elkin High School facilities and has attempted to promote the Elkin program in return. For the past two years, the FFWC has raised funds to send Elkin High School and Elkin Middle School wrestlers to summer wrestling camps.
This year's annual chicken sale is slated for June 7 at the Elkin Walmart. Proceeds from this event will be used to offset the cost of the Ken Chertow Olympic Training Camp that Coach Dunn and the Fury are bringing to N.H. Carpenter Gymnasium June 13-16.
The Fury's gift to Elkin High School, which covered about 65 percent of the cost of the mat, was made possible by many generous donors including Gary York, Price Power Equipment, Toro and Rid-A-Bug.
Elkin's new mat was originally a demo, built by Resilite for the finals of the California High School State Tournament. The mat's availability was discovered by Price in his conversations with our local Resilite representative. Following the completion of the California Tournament, the mat was sent back to the Resilite factory, the center was repainted with EHS, and the mat was then shipped to Elkin. As an old and retired educator, I hope that this piece of equipment blesses as many lives as its predecessor.

After a six-year legal battle that involved emotional arguments and a DNA test, veteran Congress leader ND Tiwari has finally admitted that Rohit Shekhar is his son.
"I am shocked that ND Tiwari has finally accepted the fact that I am his son, but I am glad," said Rohit.
"I hope nothing bad happens now. I only want my mother to be respected. I also want to spend some time with my father like any other family," he added.
"Tiwariji said he was sad that me and Rohit had to go through this pain and he accepted Rohit as his son," said Ujjwala Sharma, Rohit Shekhar's mother.
The Delhi High Court on July 27, 2012, read out a DNA report in the case, according to which Tiwari was shown as Shekhar's biological father.
The former governor of Andhra Pradesh and chief minister of Uttar Pradesh was dragged to court for the first time in the year 2008 by the 34-year-old young man, alleging him to be his father.

Pundits and policymakers alike increasingly push the narrative that America's influence is waning and that it lacks the leadership to get anything done internationally.

Akshaya Kumar and Ken Sofer explain why Congress should give the Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control the resources necessary for an expanded mission. Read More »

Trade and Employment in the Global Crisis
1 June 2009 - 1 June 2010
What began as a financial crisis in industrialized countries has rapidly become a global jobs crisis. Trade and FDI are two of the main channels through which the financial crisis has been transmitted to developing and transition economies. In this context, the ILO has conducted a range of country level studies to evaluate the employment impact of changes in trade and FDI flows during the global crisis and at providing policy guidance to policy makers on how to address those impacts. Relevant work has been conducted in the following countries: Brazil, Egypt, India, Liberia, South Africa, Uganda and Ukraine. The findings of this country level work are summarized in a publication co-published with Academic Foundation: "Trade and Employment in the Global Crisis". Key topics covered include how changes in trade flows affect the labour market, the role of price volatility and demand shocks in the recent crisis and how export concentration makes countries more vulnerable.
