I had a really good appointment with my ob/gyn today. I actually met with a nurse practitioner, but she was wonderful and addressed all my concerns. I felt she took me seriously and was very proactive and willing to treat me if I do develop pre-e. What a difference! When I asked about the doctor's philosophy about treating me, if I do develop high bp's (160/100), with antihypertensives, she sounded like it was the norm to treat when levels are that high, as opposed to the "peri" I saw that said he usually only treats if there is chronic hypertension. She agreed that I would need to be watched more closely if I am placed on antihypertensives, but at least she was willing to do so if needed, unlike the peri who stated that the only treatment for pre-e was delivery (ready or not) and that antihypertensives just "mask" pre-e symptoms. From uncompassionate, unconcerned, and uninformed (the peri) to a "mere" nurse practitioner that was all the opposite.
She also prescribed some Tylenol 3 for my recurrent headaches, prescribed urine strips to check for protein, talked about a home monitoring program with daily monitoring if things get worse, and she congratulated me for being proactive and watchful. She even ordered an ultrasound to check for dating because I'm a bit large for date (twins? - shudder -). I felt like she addressed all my issues and concerns and felt so relieved after my appointment and thanked her profusely. I feel a lot better about my ob care at this point and will leave it at that, though I still have the info about the peri in Scottsdale if it came to needing more specialized care, but needless to say I am very relieved. I was just getting ready to search for another peri that would be more amenable to treatment and who didn't sound like he was quoting a textbook or was just out of med school.
Anyway, I want to thank you all for your support and great ideas and comments. I feel like I am on my way to good obstetric care, finally. Thank you all for encouraging me to seek it! I feel a renewed sense of hope that maybe I can make it through this, whether pe strikes again or not. Just wanted to let you all know how well things worked out. I'll keep in touch and let you all know how things are going, but so far so good. Thank you all again! [:)]

Paula Murrihy joined the ensemble at Oper Frankfurt in 2009. Her roles during our 2014/15 season are Emilia in Otello, the title role in Antonio Cesti's L'Orontea and Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier - both new productions. Before her first performances here this season she enjoyed great success singing Dido in our production of Dido and Aeneas at Los Angeles Opera, which Oper Frankfurt performed at the 2013 Edinburgh International Festival. Roles sung by this Irish mezzo-soprano in Frankfurt during recent seasons have included Fulvia (new production of Gluck's Ezio last season), Medoro (Orlando furioso), Dorabella (Così fan tutte), Sesto (Giulio Cesare in Egitto), Emilia (Otello), Lazuli (Chabrier's L'Étoile), Kreusa (first performances in Germany of Reimann's Medea), La Muse / Nicklausse (Hoffmanns Erzählungen/The Tales of Hoffmann), Scipio (Glanert's Caligula) and Annio (La clemenza di Tito). Guest engagements have included appearances in Utrecht (title role in Honegger's Judith 2013), The Royal Opera House in London, Santa Fe Opera, the Boston Lyric Opera, the Théâtre du Capitole Toulouse and Dido at the Lugo Opera Festival and in Bologna. Paula Murrihy has also appeared in recital at the Aldeburgh and Wexford festivals, in Carnegie Hall in New York, as part of the »Marilyn Horne Foundation Masterclass Series« and, in 2013, at Oper Frankfurt, alongside fellow ensemble member Simon Bode. A former member of San Francisco Opera's Merola Program, she was awarded the first ever Anny Schlemm Prize in 2010.

What is the key to building a successful sports program?
Ask any coach this question and theyll give the same answer:
Teach them young.
Berkeley Lady Stags softball coach Boogie Grooms has voiced the same mantra in regard to the building of a long term successful girls softball program at BHS.
For Grooms, in his second year heading the Lady Stags, its about getting middle school softball players exposed to the Lady Stags softball way.
We have seventh and eighth grade girls good enough to play varsity sports at just 12 and 13 years of age, he said. By the time a lot of these girls reach high school, if we havent taught them how we play softball here and what we expect, its almost too late.
This year for the first time in the schools history the Lady Stags softball program was able to field a B-team, a third tier team beneath varsity and JV with a roster filled with middle school aged players.
Riley McKelvey, a longtime Lady Stags assistant coach, heads up the B-team.
With the success of the varsity and JV softball program that we had last year and the ongoing success this year, it really shows what direction everybody wants this program to be headed in, McKelvey said. This new team wouldnt have been possible without the support of Principal Steven Steele, Athletic Director Jeff Cruce, and head softball coach Boogie Grooms.
According to McKelvey, the B-team fielded 19 players on its roster to start the program this year, which consist of middle school seventh and eight graders.
Weve scheduled a four team schedule that plays four-game tournaments at each school sights per weekend, he said.
The four teams are Berkeley, Timberland, Hanahan, and Stratford.
We hope that this years B-team startup program will encourage other schools to participate next year.
The Lady Stags closed out the season on April 12 at Stratford, playing both Stratford and Hanahan, splitting with a win over the B-Knights and a loss to the B-Hawks to finish the season with a 3-3-2 record.
We played some good softball teams in the area, McKelvey said. Timberland, Stratford and Hanahan all have very deep softball programs.
Berkeleys squared off with Timberland for its season opener on March 15. The B-Stags defeated Stratford and Timberland.
On March 22, the B-Stags hosted the second tournament and dropped two games to Hanahan and Timberland, putting their record for the season at 2-2.
On April 5, the B-Stags traveled to Hanahan for the third tournament of the season where games with Hanahan and Timberland ended in ties due to time limit restrictions, which put their record at 2-2-2.
This has really been an exciting season for myself, assistant coach David Brabham, the volunteer coaches, the B-team parents and especially to the Lady Stags program, McKelvey said. The program will have a number of B-team players from this year squad to keep an eye on for the future.
The 2014 Berkeley Lady Stags B-Team consists of Maddysn Fernett, McKenna Anderson, Morgan Grady, Haylee Wilkerson, Savannah Dean, Vanessa Coolen, Olivia Free, MacKenzie Lambert, Raelee Brabham, Rilee Driggers, Ariel Hurley, Julie Crosby, Kaylee Baggott, Paris Beaufort, Evie Wilson, Kiyla Morris, Savannah Whetzel, Cheyenne Sanders and Kaylie Schindledecker.

The Mount Pleasant Recreation Department will host a free event called "Pitch, Hit and Run," Saturday at 9 a.m. The competition is part of a Major League Baseball initiative to engage youth players.
It will take place at Field No. 1 at the Duffy Baseball Complex in Mount Pleasant. Boys and girls – playing softball – are divided into the following age divisions: 7/8, 9/10, 11/12 and 13/14. Competitors have the opportunity to advance through four stages, including the Team Championships at MLB ballparks and the National Finals at the MLB All-Star Game.
Individual winners from the pitching, hitting and running portions, along with the all-around champion in each age and gender advance to sectionals. Participants must bring a copy of their birth certificate and have parent or legal guardian sign a registration/waiver form before competing.
Direct questions to Karl Ankersen at email@example.com or 884-2528.
The Free for All tennis tournament is back.
The adult men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles tournament, which is free for players, will be held April 29-May 5 at The Club at Dunes West, according to club tennis director Jack Miller.
Player receive a t-shirt and adult beverages all week. Awards for winners and runner-up finishers in each event will also be presented. Interested participants can sign up by going to the USTA website. The tournament ID number is 700096613. The deadline is April 24.
Miller said the event was started years ago and sponsorships allowed it be a free event. But, "after a tough economy, we were having to charge a small fee to players...it was no longer the 'Free for All.'"
The tennis club later lost a memmber, Lorrie Jelenevsky, from a brain tumor. She was known as Lorrie J. "I later learned that one of her last wishes was to make the tournament free again," Miller said, "so she left some money, and with the help of our sponsors, we are able to make this event free again."
The event is now named in her honor: Lorrie J's Adult Free for All. Direct questions to Miller at email@example.com or 345-2995.

(TMZ) - Accused girlfriend murderer Oscar Pistorius has been transferred into a NEW JAIL ... after officials in South Africa decided his old cell wasn't suitable for the double amputee's "special needs" ... TMZ has learned.
We spoke to a rep for the South African Police Department handling Oscar's living situation ... who told us, "Oscar has now been moved from the Boschkop Jail to the Brooklyn Police Station in Pretoria due to his handicap needs."
The rep explains, "The normal cell he was in was not suitable for Oscar so he was moved in order to accommodate to his special needs."
We're also told Oscar will no longer be allowed to accept visitors -- or home-cooked meals -- as he did during his first night in jail. Cops say Pistorius will only be allowed to meet with his legal team.
Officials say Pistorius is now "resting comfortably" in his new cell ... and will be checked on every 30 minutes."
Pistorius has been accused of shooting his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp inside of his South Africa mansion. Cops say he is the only suspect in the case.

I know a lot of us have collections and it just hit me that I'm curious about what you guys love.
So tell me what your favorite item in your collection is. It can be a book or something totally different. It's also a good opportunity to talk about all of the cool stuff that's out there.
I have two favorites and I love them both for the same reason - they were incredibly thoughtful gifts.
1. My Fantasy and Science Fiction with the first story of the Gunslinger. This was a gift from my ex (I know I've talked about this on here previously so I apologize) and it started my fervor for collecting. I felt like I was holding a piece of history that I didn't even know existed. It was wonderful that he did the research and found it for me. And this was before the Internet was super popular so he must have done a lot of work. He was a thoughtful guy like that.
2. A few years ago I got to go meet Mr. King - on my birthday. I was so incredibly excited. The night before we left for our road trip my husband brought me a dozen roses. In the vase he had taken a little toy gun and painted it to look like Roland's gun. It was so sweet! I still have that little gun and I LOVE it. It's on my SK bookshelf. (Yes, I only have one ridiculously over-flowing book shelf!) He took so much time to paint it and make it look old. I tried to save a rose too but my cat made sure that wouldn't happen! Every time I see it I reminded of that experience.
So what do you have that you love?

Head Women's Basketball Coach
Peg Swadener
- Head Coach
- (3rd year)
- BS, University of Oregon
- Sparks 218
- (503) 370-6132 voice
- firstname.lastname@example.com
Peg Swadener is in her third season as the head coach of the Willamette University women's team in 2014-15. Swadener was previously the associate head coach of women's basketball at Portland State University.
Prior to arriving at Willamette, Swadener was an assistant coach at Portland State for five seasons. She was hired as an assistant coach at PSU in 2007 and quickly earned a promotion to associate head coach in 2008.
She has served as the team's recruiting coordinator, scouting coordinator and academic coordinator. In addition she has been the communication liaison between the team, support staff and administrative staff. She has mentored and trained the assistant coaches.
Her recruiting efforts led to Eryn Jones, Courtney VanBrocklin and Kate Lanz to choose Portland State. Jones was named Big Sky Conference Most Valuable Player in 2010-11, VanBrocklin was chosen Big Sky Newcomer of the Year in 2010-11 and Lanz was named Big Sky Newcomer of the Year in 2011-12.
As the academic coordinator for the PSU women's basketball team, she has overseen the academic efforts of the Vikings. Two of PSU's players have earned Academic All-America recognition from the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) since 2007-08.
Swadener coached Portland State's guards from 2007-08 through 2009-10, including two-time First Team All-Big Sky Conference selection Claire Faucher. In 2010-11 and 2011-12, Swadener was assigned to the post players on the roster, including Kelli Valentine, who earned First Team All-Big Sky honors.
"I have always wanted to develop a program where I can recruit and coach a highly motivated student-athlete who seeks excellence on the court, in the classroom and in life," Swadener said. "I have dreamt of putting together a staff that understands the well-being of the student-athlete, and keeps that in mind through all aspects of the job. It is my goal to create a program that can put those two ideas together and can still compete to win championships."
"I value the quality of education at Willamette," Swadener commented. "The Northwest Conference is a national caliber conference, and one which I believe can also attract the high achieving athlete. The combination of the education and conference has the makings of a great program."
While working at Portland State, Swadener was active in getting the women's basketball team involved with Special Olympics.
She coached the Washington County "A" basketball team within Special Olympics Oregon and included PSU players as assistant coaches. Many of her players also participated in open gym time with athletes from Special Olympics. She hopes to develop a similar program at Willamette.
Swadener's extensive coaching experience with the Vikings has added to her overall knowledge as a coach.
Prior to coaching at PSU, she was an assistant basketball coach at Boise State University from 1997-98 through 2001-02, was an assistant coach at Idaho State University in 2002-03, was an assistant coach at the University of Oregon from 2003-04 through 2005-06, and was an assistant coach at Princeton University in 2006-07.
During her 15 years as a collegiate coach, Swadener has been directly involved in all of the important facets of college basketball. She has worked extensively in recruiting, academic support, scheduling team travel, directing camps and organizing video. She has been actively involved with practice and game duties.
Swadener was the head girls' junior varsity coach and assistant girls varsity coach at Marist High School in Eugene, Ore., in 1995-96 and 1996-97.
As a collegiate athlete, Swadener competed on the University of Oregon women's basketball team from 1989-90 through 1992-93. She received Pac-10 Academic Honors three times. She was a representative on the Team Council, a group of athletes providing a liaison between Oregon's student-athletes and the administration. She received the Centurion Award from Oregon in 1992, as one of the top 100 all-around students attending the university.
Swadener received a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise and Movement Science from the University of Oregon in June of 1994. She earned a Master of Science degree from Boise State University in Exercise and Sport Science in December of 2010.

"In the long term, we think of Chromium as a tabbed window manager or shell for the web rather than a browser application. We avoid putting things into our UI in the same way you would hope that Apple and Microsoft would avoid putting things into the standard window frames of applications on their operating systems. The tab is our equivalent of a desktop application's title bar; the frame containing the tabs is a convenient mechanism for managing groups of those applications. In future, there may be other tab types that do not host the normal browser toolbar," explains a document about Chrome's user experience.
This philosophical shift might explain why there are few interface distractions and the browser is barely visible. Google Chrome is built for web applications that have their own menus, keyword shortcuts and status bars.
Chrome comes with intelligent defaults to minimize the interaction with the browser. The settings dialog doesn't include many options available in other browsers and the team hopes to "reduce the number of options further". The lack of customization is not a good news for advanced users, but normal users might appreciate the simplicity of the interface.

Look for a few more birds around downtown in the coming months.
Sculpture in the South, the National Audubon Society and DREAM are teaming up to install sculptures of birds naturally found in Summerville around the downtown area.
Inspired by the "Mice on Main" program in Greenville, where people follow clues to find mice sculptures hidden in Greenville's downtown, Summerville's BIRDS (Birds in Residence, Downtown Summerville) program will have a clue poem that will lead seekers across the historic downtown, said Mike Dawson, Beidler Forest director, to Town Council's finance committee.
By the time searchers find all 20 birds, they'll have passed by every storefront and restaurant downtown, he said, and hopefully stopped in to spend some money.
The groups don't yet have the funds to buy all the birds, though the locations and species are mapped out, Dawson said.
The first two sculptures have been purchased, however, and the first seven to eight should be installed within a few months, he said.
He hopes that as people see the program take off, businesses or civic groups will decide to sponsor additional birds.
"I think it will be a fun thing for residents to do as well," Dawson said.
The sculptures' cost varies depending on size and whether they need to be commissioned. The price of the first two sculptures – a small nuthatch and a large owl – already diverged from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars.
Dawson approached the town because some of the sculptures will be located on town property.

text: I've read a bit about SK's relationship with his mother, but there is little mention of his father. I seem to recall his father left early in his life. That must have had an enormous impact on him. Did he ever keep in contact with his father? Don't ever recall him ever discussing it or how much it impacts his writing. I was reading recently that one trait of many overachieving males is the absence or death of a father early in life.

It's one month today since my baby girl died. Longer than she was even alive. I can't help thinking that I should still be pregnant with her, about 32 weeks I believe. The last month has been the longest of my life and yet it feels like it's flown by at the same time.
I had congestive heart failure secondary to me PE. Today was a follow up echocardiogram to make sure everything is back to normal. When I scheduled it I wasn't thinking about what day it was. Walking into the hospital for the echo was so incredibly difficult today. I wanted to run up to the NICU and go to her spot and find her there so badly. I'd been holding it together most of the day, waiting to get to Millie's grave to break down, but when the echo tech asked me about my baby I just lost it. I was crying softly during most of the procedure.
In the last month I've had moments where I've thought that I was maybe going to survive this horrible loss. Today was one of the days where the pain felt like more than I could or wanted to try and handle. It's just crushing sometimes isn't it?
Thanks for listening.

It may be easy to forget that cigarette butt you flicked out of the window while driving down the highway, but that inch or so of paper and tobacco will take five years to decompose, according to Palmetto Pride.
A Styrofoam cup can take 50 years to break down. A plastic bottle can take 450 years and a glass bottle – 1 million years.
Different kinds of litter have different impacts on the environment, but they can all mean big trouble for litterbugs if they're caught in the act by an Aiken County litter enforcement officer.
The County formerly had officers that handled litter and animal control but divided the jobs around 1991, according to Solid Waste Supervisor Rodney Cooper. Today, the County has two litter control officers and a chief litter control officer.
"They're really tied to littering fines," Aiken County Administrator Clay Killian said. "If somebody throws a McDonald's wrapper out the window or a cigarette butt, they will stop you for that. They have to physically see it."
The officers also investigate illegal dumping sites, according to Killian.
"Sometimes, unscrupulous roofing contractors will take a load of shingles out in the woods somewhere because they're so heavy, and getting them into the landfill is expensive," he said. "They may have charged you as the homeowner to dispose of it, but that's how they make a little more money – they dump it in the woods somewhere."
The officers may stake out an area if they see an increase in items such as tires, construction debris or yard trimmings dumped in that area, Killian said.
The County also has nuisance officers that respond to calls about burned out or dilapidated buildings or fields that need to be cleaned up.
"We've really been talking about consolidating them into an enforcement division, but we haven't done that yet," Killian said.
The litter enforcement officers are not Class 1, like Sheriff's deputies or Public Safety officers, but Killian said they do go to the law enforcement academy and receive training in firearms and defensive driving.
They can also write tickets for secondary offenses such as seat belt violations, he said. Some litter stops have resulted in arrests for other crimes, including drug possession and driving under the influence.
"In fact, if we have a situation that they think is going to get out of control, they have a direct call to the Sheriff's Office to get help from those kinds of guys," Killian said. "We're not out looking for those kinds of things. If they're going to a known dump site, or if they see an unsecured load, they'll stop you. That's what we're trying to do is prevent litter on the side of the roads."
The officers drive around in white pickup trucks bearing the Aiken County logo, and can write warnings or citations, which are then settled with a magistrate.
Killian said the ratio of warnings to tickets is 3-to-1. In 2011, the officers wrote 107 tickets countywide.
In South Carolina, the minimum fine for littering is $200 and the maximum is $1,087. For any amount of litter over 15 pounds but less than 500 pounds, there is a fine of $200 to $500, mandatory community service and a possible prison sentence of up to 90 days.
Littering has been "an ongoing struggle" for Aiken County and beyond, Killian said. In the past, the County has had prison inmates go out to littered areas to clean up the trash.
"We've had a harder time getting inmates from lower Savannah just because of volumes," Killian said. "You have to have people that are trained to supervise those folks when they're out on the side of the road. We'll work areas when people call and when we can get an inmate crew together. We just don't get to do it as much as we used to because, first of all, our employee level is not where it was, and we have trouble getting those inmates."
The Adopt-a-Highway roadway cleanup program has become "a big asset" to the County, said Killian, who encouraged anyone interested in starting a group with their neighborhood, club or church to contact the County.
If you see someone littering or dumping illegally, call the Litter Busters hot line at *LB. That will connect callers to the S.C. Department of Natural Resources, where they can leave a description of the vehicle, the tag number and location of the dump site.
"If it's out there on the side of the road, we're either going to pick it up or we're going to have an inmate crew pick it up, so it's costing the taxpayers to pick it up no matter what we do with it," Killian said.
He added that littering has more drastic economic consequences, including negatively impacting the decision of large businesses to come to Aiken.
"It's a bad problem, and people need to understand that it's just not good to throw that stuff out," Killian said. "Carry it home and put it in the house; we'll take care of it. Get it to our drop-off center; we'll take care of it."

Jewish 'terrorist' convicted of settlement murders, inciting violence
An Israeli court has convicted a US-born Israeli settler of killing two Palestinians in 1997.
Jack Teitel, who lived in the West Bank settlement of Shvut Rachel, was found guilty in the Jerusalem District Court of the two murders, as well as two attempted murders of Palestinians.
He was arrested in 2009 on charges of assault and incitement to violence between 1997 and 2008. His lawyers claimed he was unfit to stand trial because of his psychiatric state.
According to court transcripts, Teitel murdered Palestinian taxi driver Samir Akram in 1997, shooting him at point-blank range. Later that year he shot dead Palestinian shepherd Issa Jabarin.
He was also charged with killing then 15-year-old Ami Ortiz with a bomb hidden in a present and targeting prominent left-wing Israeli historian Zeev Sternhell with a pipe bomb.
He has also been charged with inciting Israelis to harm gay Jews in Israel.

Rockets to hold Blue and Gold Spring GameWritten by Zach Davis | | email@example.com
The Toledo football team will take the first step into the 2012 season when it competes in the annual Blue and Gold Spring Game on April 13 at 7 p.m. in the Glass Bowl.
The senior class drafted the two rosters with the first pick being a surprise one as sophomore Dwight Macon was sent to the blue squad. Macon, the team's third-string quarterback last season, has played wide receiver this spring. Other notable players on the blue team include quarterback Austin Dantin, running back David Fluellen, offensive lineman Greg Mancz, linebacker Robert Bell and safety Jermaine Robinson.
The Gold squad is led by last season's Blue and Gold MVP in wide receiver Bernard Reedy, who had eight catches for 143 yards and a touchdown. Joining Reedy on the Gold team includes quarterback Terrance Owens, linebacker Dan Molls, center Zac Kerin and defensive end Christian Smith.
The game will feature six honorary coaches who were former Rockets: Dallas safety Barry Church (2006-09), Cincinnati wide receiver Andrew Hawkins (2005-07), New York Giants tight end Christian Hopkins (2004-07), former New England offensive lineman Nick Kaczur (2001-04), Michael Schaefer (1997-2000) and former Cleveland quarterback Gene Swick (1972-75).
Following the game, UT players and coaches will be signing autographs in the West Concourse and fans can meet the school's mascots, Rocky and Rocksy. Admission to the game is free.

I find few things more contemptible then when someone spouts off a variation of "I've got a secret." The public's imagination is infinitely worse than reality, and he can do terrible damage to McCall's reputation without actually committing libel. That's passive-aggressive, manipulative, and weak.
Although, coming from a guy with Emerson's past, I guess I shouldn't have expected anything better.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.---You never get a second chance to make a first impression. First-year Head Coach Will Wade and his Chattanooga Mocs (1-0) made the most of their first opportunity, crushing nearby Covenant College (0-0) 119-56, while debuting "Chaos" to the Scenic City.
"I thought we played well in spurts," Wade stated. "I thought we fouled a little too much in the second half and put them in the bonus too quickly. I thought we were a little fatigued in the first half, which led to fouling and walking them to the foul line. That's an area that we have to continue to improve.
"I was proud of the way we shot at the foul line," he continued. "We shot around 78% from the foul line and we've put a lot of work into that."
Sophomore guard Gee McGhee (Baton Rouge, La.) led seven Mocs in double digits with 19 points tonight. It was a well-rounded game for the 2013 Southern Conference All-Freshman selection, adding a career-high seven assists to go with five rebounds and three steals.
He was not the only Moc with a multiple efforts on the stat sheet. Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.) had 16 points, eight boards and a career-best five blocks. His effort led the squad to 10 blocks on the night, a first since January of 2008.
Chattanooga led from start to finish. It scored the game's first 14 points and never looked back. The Mocs delighted a crowd of 4,637, which is the largest attendance for a season opener at home since 6,170 crossed the turnstiles on November 25, 1995 (USC-Aiken).
"The first thing I am going to talk about when someone asks me about my first college game is how loud it was and how big the crowd was tonight," freshman point guard Greg Pryor (Memphis, Tenn.) said. "The band, the fans and students were great. It was very noisy, and it forced me to call plays with my hands.
"It's way different than playing in a high school game," he added. The game is much faster. You have to be very poised."
Pryor started in his first collegiate game, getting the Mocs rolling early and often. He ended his night with 14 points, four assists and four steals. Lance Stokes (Orlando, Fla.) chipped in 13 points, five rebounds, two blocks and a career-high five steals.
Others in double digits were Martynas Bareika (Kedainiai, Lithuania), Eric Robertson (Huntsville, Ala.) and Alex Bran (Memphis, Tenn.), all off the bench. Robertson had 13, while Barieka and Bran added 12 and 10 points, respectively. Freshman T.J. Williams (Wilmington, N.C.) controlled the glass with game-high 11 rebounds.
Covenant was led by Nate Frierson's 11 points. The Scots were limited to 27.8 percent (15-54) shooting from the field, including 21.1 percent (4-19) from 3pt range. The Mocs forced their visitors into 34 turnovers resulting in 47 of their 119 points.
Chattanooga shot a robust 56 percent (42-75) from the field and 78.4 percent from the charity stripe (29-37). It tallied 49 rebounds, 22 assists and 19 steals with the aforementioned 10 blocks.
It's on to Radford for the Mocs. They meet the Highlanders in Radford, Va., on Monday with a 7 p.m., start time. Listen to the game on ESPN 105.1 The Zone in Chattanooga or world-wide online at GoMocs.com.

Municipalities seen as largely safe from sequestrationBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | March 06,2013MONTPELIER State and federal budgets are feeling the effects of across-the-board spending cuts that began taking effect last week.
But experts say that sequestration process will have little impact on the finances of the municipalities whose budgets went up for votes across the state Tuesday.
The relative dearth of state and federal aid flowing into town and city budgets will for the most part insulate them from any direct financial hits, according to Steve Jeffrey, executive director of the Vermont League of Cities and Towns.
All these years of not getting anything from the state or the federal government is paying off now, I guess you could say, Jeffrey said.
One of the biggest line-item allocations in the state budget involves aid to town highway programs. But lawmakers have thus far indicated that the annual appropriation wont be reduced.
Barre Mayor Thomas Lauzon said city staff have combed through the budget in search of areas that might be vulnerable to sequestration-related cuts.
Anyone who hasnt been thinking about it hasnt been governing, Lauzon said. But I think theres going to be a less direct impact on municipalities.
Lauzon said that doesnt mean the city wont suffer the ill effects of the $85 billion that will be cut from federal spending if Congress doesnt negotiate a resolution. The city is host to numerous human services organizations with heavy reliance on federal aid. Lauzon said hes worried cuts to those groups will hurt the residents relying on them for everything from fuel aid to workforce training.
Whenever nonprofits have less money to serve constituents with, there are going to be pass-through effects on the places where those constituents live, Lauzon said.
He warns that Barre wont have the financial capacity to rescue local nonprofits.
Were under the same pressures financially as everyone else, Lauzon said. We simply dont find ourselves in a position where we could fill any gaps with a municipal appropriation.
Rutland Mayor Christopher Louras said his city too lacks the resources to bail out area organizations affected by the sequester and that the charter wouldnt allow it anyway.
Louras said the city has scrubbed its budget with an eye toward sequester-related effects.
Were still sorting that out to some extent, but so far, if there is something out there with regard to that particular area, its going to come as a complete surprise to us, because we havent found anything yet, he said.
Louras, however, said the indirect effects could be significant, especially if the sequester continues through the remainder of the fiscal year.
We dont provide any social services as a city, but we have a large number of state programs and nonprofits that are doing that work here, Louras said. And I could see a potential impact on community mental health if those dollars begin to dry up.
He said theres a direct correlation between the strength of the community mental health system and the strain on the city Police Department.
It becomes a workload issue that could put a real strain on law enforcement, Louras said.

After bringing home Carroll County's first regional championship since 1980, the Cavaliers also swept the postseason awards in All-Region IV and All-Southwest District voting. Senior Ryan Gravley and head coach Brad Hawks have been honored as Region IV Player and Coach of the Year, as well as the top player and coach in the Southwest District. Gravley is the first Carroll County boys' basketball player to win Region Player of the Year honors since Terry Dalton in 1981.
A first-team All-Region IV selection a year ago, Gravley was unquestionably the leader of a Carroll County team that started the season 18-0, setting a new school record for best start in school history. With Gravley's steady play from the guard position, the Cavaliers went on to go undefeated in the district during the regular season for their second consecutive district title before being upset in the district tournament championship game by Abingdon.
Carroll rebounded by beating Magna Vista in the regional semifinals and knocking off eventual state champion Salem in the Region IV championship game for the program's first regional title in 33 years. The Cavaliers also tied a school record set by the 1978-79 team for most wins in school history with 24.
For the second straight season, Gravley led Carroll County in scoring (15.2 points per game) and assists (4.3 assists) on a deep team that featured six players with a scoring average of 5.6 points per game or better. With just 35 turnovers, Gravley finished the season with a whopping 3.3 assist-to-turnover ratio. He also led the team with a free-throw percentage of 83.9 percent (141-of-168) and finished third on the team in steals (44) and 3-point percentage, shooting 26.8 percent (26-of-97). He also averaged 2.7 rebounds per game, fourth best on the team.
"It's a pretty big honor for a kid that works as hard as he does. He was just kind of the glue that held everybody together," Hawks said. "I never had to worry about getting him ready for me. For the four years he played for me, he was always ready to play. He is not a real vocal guy, but everybody just respects him so much as a player and person. He is just a leader, whether he meant to be or not."
And while Gravley will be sorely missed next season when the Cavaliers enter the River Ridge District, there is good news as second-team All-SWD selections Gunnar Beamer and Connor Lundy will be back to lead a group of seven returning players in 2013-14.
As a junior point guard, Beamer finished just four assists behind Gravley for the team lead in assists with 111, dishing out 4.1 per game. The lightning quick guard also led the team in steals with 65 and was third on the team in scoring with 7.9 points per game. Gravley's assists were down this year because Beamer emerged as such a valuable commodity from the point guard position.
"Ryan didn't have to handle the ball as much. Last year, to put us in position to win, Ryan he had to handle the ball, but Gunnar improved his game so much we felt comfortable moving Ryan to the two, which helped his scoring and freed him up a bit," Hawks said. "Gunnar came out of his shell this year. We still want him to look to score more coming into his senior year, but he just had a tremendous year."
Beamer was also second on the team behind Gravley in free-throw percentage at 68.2 percent (75-of-110) and was fourth on the squad in 3-point shooting at 25 percent (14-of-56).
"Toward the end of the year, coaches on opposing teams were really impressed with Gunnar," Hawks said. "At the regional meeting, they were really impressed with Gunnar and several ODAC schools have been in contact. He turned their heads with his ability to handle the basketball."
Another junior, Lundy brought versatility to the Cavaliers' lineup as he could hurt opponents from the guard or forward positions. By far the team's biggest outside threat, he led Carroll in 3-pointers made (47-of-146) and 3-point percentage (32.2 percent).
The team's second-leading scorer at 11.3 points per game, Lundy was third on the team in field goal percentage (45 percent) as he shot a whopping 63.1 percent (65-of-103) from inside the 3-point line. Lundy was also third on the team in rebounds (82) and assists (1.8 per game) and fourth in steals (39) and free-throw percentage (63.2 percent).
"Connor is just a tough matchup for everybody. He was hampered with a couple of ankle sprains, but he is a tough matchup when he is on," Hawks said. "He is a really good shooter, and this year he added being able to get to middle of the lane, shoot his jumper and floater. Next year Connor and Winston Giles will have to score a lot."
Carroll seniors Austin Horton (6.6 points, 3.4 rebounds per game) and Chris Smoot (5.6 points per game, 54 steals) earned All-SWD Honorable Mention accolades, as did juniors Cody Keith (7.8 points, team-high 4.8 rebounds per game) and Duncan Reece (4.1 points, 2.1 rebounds per game).
Over the past two seasons, Carroll County has won 42 games compared to just eight losses. Hawks was honored for his coaching ability in 2012-13 as he was selected Region IV, Division 4 Coach of the Year.

In Egypt These Days, Lying About A Nose Job Can Bring A Politician Down
Originally published on Mon March 5, 2012 2:49 pm
It was more than 30 years before Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak lost his grip on power, though many of his people had long suffered under his oppressive regime.
It took less than a week for "a newly minted ultra-conservative Islamist member" of the post-Mubarak parliament in Egypt to be forced to resign because he lied about getting a nose job.
Anwar El-Balkimy had told reporters he was attacked and beaten — forcing a hospital stay last week. Instead, he'd had cosmetic plastic surgery on his nose. And that's "considered forbidden by the Al-Nour Salafists who follow a strict brand of Islam," as ABC News also reports.
According to The New York Times:
"Nader Bakar, a spokesman for the Nour Party, said that in expelling Mr. Balkimy the party was establishing the principle of accountability, requiring public officials whose wrongdoing interferes with their duties to apologize and bear the responsibility — something he said was common around the world but still new in Egypt.
"Mr. Balkimy apologized but it was not clear whether he had yet acknowledged making the story up."
