Altvater: Rory McIlroy's most excellent yearWritten by Fred Altvater | | email@example.com
Rory McIlroy ends 2012 as the No. 1 player on the PGA and European Tours. He has been ranked No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) for 15 consecutive weeks and a total of 22 weeks for the year.
He added a second major championship title to his resume with his win at the PGA Championship held on Kiawah Island, S.C., in August.
He won €5,519,118 in official earnings on the European Tour as the winner of the Race to Dubai and added another $8,047,952 in prize money as the PGA Tour's No. 1 player. Most of his European Tour winnings are duplicated with the PGA Tour in the co-sanctioned majors and World Golf Championships (WGC) events.
McIlroy won five tournaments worldwide in 2012. He started the year strong with a runner-up finish in Abu Dhabi and a fifth place in Dubai before heading to the states.
He beat Lee Westwood in the semifinals of the WGC-Accenture Match Play but then lost in the finals to Hunter Mahan. The very next week he won the Honda Classic and moved to No. 1 in the OWGR for the first time. He added a third place finish at the WGC-Cadillac at Doral in his final event before the Masters.
He was never in contention at Augusta National and finished T-40. McIlroy followed up his disappointment at the Masters with a runner-up at the Wells Fargo in early May where he lost to Rickie Fowler in a playoff.
The wheels seemed to come off the train a bit as McIlroy missed the cut at the Players and the Memorial. He then hired his long-time coach Michael Bannon on a full-time basis and rebounded with a T-7 at Memphis.
He missed another cut at the U.S. Open at Olympic Country Club and only managed a T-60 at the Open Championship at Royal Lytham.
Things came together for McIlroy after the Open Championship in July and he finished T-5 in the WGC-Bridgestone at Firestone Country Club in Akron.
A T-24 at the Barclays, the first event in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, was followed by wins at the Deutsche Bank and the BMW Championships and he capped off his PGA Tour year with a T-10 at the Tour Championship.
McIlroy helped the European Ryder Cup Team overcome a four-point deficit to beat the USA Ryder Cup Team. He played in all five sessions and compiled a 3-2 overall record. He was the third man out for the Euros on Sunday and beat Keegan Bradley 2&1 to secure the point and draw to within one point of the Americans.
He then switched his focus to the European Tour. A runner-up at the BMW Masters and a third-place finish in the Barclays Singapore Open secured the European Tour's money title. He then missed his fourth cut of the year at the UBS Hong Kong Open before finishing the year with his win at the DP World Golf Championship in Dubai on Nov. 25.
Five worldwide wins, a Wanamaker Trophy, a historic European Team Ryder Cup win, two FedEx Cup Playoff wins, money titles on both the European and the PGA Tours plus No. 1 in the world, make for a fairly impressive year.
Oh and don't forget adding a gorgeous world-famous girlfriend to his entourage this year. He is in a globe-trotting relationship with the beautiful as well as talented young professional tennis player, Caroline Wozniacki.
For any mere mortal that was a pretty formidable year.
Am I forgetting anything? Just one other minor detail to add to Rory's incredible year.
He will start 2013 with a brand new mega-deal with Nike. He will team with Tiger Woods as the marquee brands in the Nike stable and will be covered in Swoosh gear. Just Do It!
I think Christmas came a little early this year for the 23-year-old McIlroy.
Let's see if he can follow up that outstanding performance next year.
I'm betting that he can.

What are the (best/any) options for accommodations? Guessing this has been discussed somewhere but I couldn't find it.
What are the (best/any) options for accommodations? Guessing this has been discussed somewhere but I couldn't find it.
i hear the people up there have couches or something
kind of looking for a place to sleep that wont be on fire after the game
There are some hotels in Morgantown near the stadium but they're generally booked well in advance. Might have better luck finding a hotel in Fairmont or Washington PA, and driving to/from the game is pretty reasonable from there.
There was a WVU thread with "Buckwild" in it.
If you stay/fly into Pittsburg you can make a slight detour and visit Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pa.
I'm seriously considering this for my only out of state road trip this year, got 4 vacation days left that I need to use before the end o the year...
WV was the site of one of my wildest adventures back in my early 20's...had a friend from Wheeling that invited us up one summer....ended up "borrowing" his dads Jag (yes there are people with money in WV) and attempting to find a new dog racing track that just opened up. Vaguely remember a super hot (but incredibly dumb and hillbilly) blonde chick at a burger joint, and somehow ending up in Ohio sleeping off our drunkeness in some parking lot. Never made it to the dog races. /csb
RE Pittsburgh: Don't stay in the South Side, it gets really ugly after 2. Station Square, anywhere downtown, or the north shore are all fine options.
1) Plan on camping/rafting after the game.
2) Have a real purty mouth.
3) Squeal like a pig.
4) ???
5) Profit.
I went to Pitt for the Texas Pitt game back in the day. It was fun (other than Curtis Martin running for 251 against _arnell's D), don't have the foggiest where we stayed. Just need to find the right neighborhood hotels/bars/etc.

Does anybody have an educated guess on what time kickoff for the game in Morgantown might be? I'm going to be in DC for work the previous week and at the beginning of the following week. I'm considering staying the weekend and making the drive out to Morgantown (I believe it's about 3.5 hours), but I won't want to pay for another hotel when I'll already have one in DC. A night game probably makes the trip impossible, unless I want to drive back on unfamiliar highways at 1 in the morning....
I'm going up there in 3 weeks to see Tech play WVU....staying in Washington, PA Thursday - Saturday which is outside of Pittsburgh 30 minutes or so and is on the way to Morgantown, WV....staying at a Residence Inn across from PNC Park on Sunday night - Steelers play on Sunday at Heinz Field which is all of 4 blocks away....at any rate, Washington, PA gives you access to Pittsburgh to goof around on Friday but gets you a little closer to Morgantown on Saturday..
Pittsburgh, where I went about 8 times on business a couple of years ago, is extremely underrated as a city IMNSHO...had no idea it was so beautiful.
Travel Lodge is a pretty dodgy place, but you can see the stadium from the parking lot.
Why the $#@! would you support Mack, Deloss and the rest of those $#@!ets by going to this $#@! and watching us get our asses beat?
There are some hotels on the South Side. There are some at either end of Carson Street. If you want something not as nuts as fighting when you come out of the bars...try for something down by the Hofbrauhaus. That is across the river from Pitt, just up Bates Street. You can see Pitt's Cathedral of Learning from Hofbrau. The Hofbrau is licensed by Hofbrau in Munchen, so it's real. Food is so-so...but the Bier is very, very good. That area is called the South Side Works...it is up the Monongahela from town...
At Station Square there is a Sheraton. That's on the South Side, other end from Hofbrau. Closer to town.
If you fly into Pittsburgh there is a casino next to Heinz Field. There is also one down closer to Washington, Pa....The Meadows. It has harness racing too...and I believe there are a lot of hotels there.
There are some hotels closer to the airport too, over in Moon. There is also a nice Hilton attached to the airport. I can't tell you what kind of hotels they have between Washington and Morganhole. You could also check at Lakeview Golf Resort...I think that is the correct name, but I am not sure if they have hotels type stuff. . It is just over the border from Pa. in WV. It has some of those time-share things I believe. It is less than 10 miles to WVU.
Or, take a look at Nemacolin Woodlands. It is pricey...but it has some great golf, weather permitting. It is on Rt. 40...Very close to Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright's famous house...as well as his other, Kentuck Knob. They are very close to WVU. Also off of Rt. 40 is a lot of history from the French and Indian War.
Honestly, I'd just get on the GoogleEarth and look around. I reckon a lot depends on if you rent cars and how much you want to spend.
Edit... Ahhh $#@! forgot about Burgatory, find it! mmmmmmm

Well, there should be 2 rooms available at the Motel 6 as of 2 minutes after the Ole Miss game.
Rent an old-ass, 1970's RV. Park it anywhere. You'll blend right in.
I just cancelled a room at the Marriott SpringHill Suites in Morgantown. Group of friends all backed out. Buncha pussies. Hotel may have rooms available now as they also cancelled some rooms.
I'm sure if you post on the our scout board you will get more info than you can digest.
I'm RV'n it but none of you $#@!ers can sleep or $#@! in it.
If I was coming in from out of town my first choice would be to stay somewhere in the cultural district/downtown. It has the highest concentration of hotels. It has a good selection of restaurants & bars usually catering to the stadiums/symphony/theatres. It's a good bit more civilized late night than the south side. Keep in mind that Notre Dame plays in Pittsburgh that weekend so hotels in the cultural district (right across the river from the stadium) might be limited.
A few recommendations:
First off: Don't try to find barbecue. The only time you can get good barbecue in Pittsburgh is during Rib Fest.
Cultural District
Meat & Potatoes http://meatandpotatoespgh.com/menu.html
I've been there for dinner and loved it. Here is what one of my good friends just said to me when I asked him how the chicken and waffle brunch was before the pitt game last weekend:
He was drunk, so I don't know if it was actually an entire chicken.Chicken and waffles were PHENOMINAL. It was literally and entire chicken served with jalapeño waffle and bacon syrup. My syrup had more bacon than syrup. Also, Bloody Mary bar. I basically drank a five pound vodka salad.
Strip District
Heinz History Center http://www.heinzhistorycenter.org
An awesome museum, primarily focusing on western PA. There is a really good sports history museum. An awesome exhibit on the British, French & Indian War that spent time at the Smithsonian and the Canadian War Museum. It's not the full exhibit anymore but still definitely worth seeing. The rotating exhibit for this year is about the civil war. I haven't seen it yet but if it is as good as last year's "1969", should be worth the visit. Honestly if you are the slightest bit interested in history, this museum would be my top recommendation.
Speaking of history, a bit of a side note:
Point state park has the outlines of the original Fort Duquesne (French, 1754) and Fort Pitt (British, 1759) in the park.
Also there is the original blockhouse for fort Pitt, the oldest authenticated building west of the Alleghany Mountains.
There are a ton of places to eat in the strip district but a couple recommendations:
Primanti Bros. http://primantibros.com/home.html
The "traditional" Pittsburgh sandwich. They have a few locations around the city. This is the original one founded in 1933. From wiki: In the 1930s, the Strip was a very busy place. Truckers delivered their goods in the middle of the night and had to get back on the road quickly. So Primanti's designed their sandwich to be eaten with one hand, while the driver drove the truck with the other. By combining the sides with the sandwich, a Pittsburgh staple was born.
Another option for food in the strip district if you want traditional Polish food (one of the main ancestral ties of the city) is S&D Polish Deli http://sdpolishdeli.com
South Side
As has been stated up-thread, Carson Street is lined with restaurants and bars. When I'm in the south side I'm there to drink, so I don't really have restaurant recommendations.
Church Brew Works http://www.churchbrew.com/ is one of my favorite places to eat in Pittsburgh. An old church converted into a brewery and brewpub, it won brewpub of the year and 3 medals for the beer in 2012 at the great American beer festival. About a 10 min drive/cab from downtown or the south side.
Hill District
Used to be an important jazz neighborhood. Freed slaves came there to work in the factories steel mills. Started declining in the 60's. Now it would be best if you avoided it.
Pitt basketball has their season opener at home Friday night.
Notre Dame plays Pitt at Heinz field on Saturday.
Steelers host the Bills on Sunday.
I'm waiting on the start times for Pitt-ND and UT-WVU to decide if I want to try and to all 4 games.

Not a food truck. It's on Pitt's campus, near the Carnegie Museum. On the map in my post, its exactly on the right edge of the image.
Edit: Currently serving Cuban food, previous countries are Afghanistan, Iran & Venezuela.

Heso covered most everything about Pittsburgh well so I'll just add a few details around town. I'm a somewhat recent transplant so his opinion probably carries more weight than mine.
1. I've been to the Heinz History Center in the last few weeks and the trip is worth the ~$15 admission. The Civil war exhibit is both large and well done. My favorite pieces were some field surgical tools of that era and a living mask of Lincoln made a few weeks before his death. If you like guns from that era then you can spend some serious time here. We went with 4 adults and it took us about 3 hours to complete the whole museum. We skipped the pop art section as we had been to the Warhol recently. There is a parking lot right across the street and they charged us $2 but that was a baseball gameday. I think the regular rate is $5.
2. He is dead on about barbecue, I miss Texas. If you want Mexican I have had better luck with local joints as the chains have all been bland. We end up cooking our own mexican style meals most of the time.
3. South Side is loads of fun for drinking but I also go there for lunch sometimes. There is a pub that serves British food that isn't bad and they have a decent beer selection, Piper's Pub. http://piperspub.com/beer/. If you go to the pub chances are they will have soccer on so that may be a positive or a negative for your group. There is also a Primanti Bros. location and a cheesesteak place if you just need something while drinking. There is a steakhouse on the south side (Carson street with all the bars) but I wouldn't recommend going there. If you want a better steak go to the Grand Concourse at Station Square (http://www.muer.com/grand-concourse/) or if you don't mind a chain then go to Ruth's Chris downtown.
4. I don't use tobacco products anymore but PA is still (I think) the only state not to tax smokeless tobacco. I have had friends who came to visit load up for what they said were cheap prices. Lawmakers tried to get it taxed a while back but I'm not sure if it passed.
5. On the other hand alcohol laws are messed up around here. You can't buy booze in most grocery stores. You can pay a premium to get a to go six pack at some bars and a few grocery stores or go to a distributor and get a cheaper price. You do have to buy it by the case at a distributor.
Is Primanti Brothers worth the stop, or just overhyped?
When I'm there (a tradition that my buddies go to at least one Penguins playoff game at the Harmarvile location) I usually get capicola & cheese, no tomato, double meat, double cheese, add 2 fried eggs.

To contribute as well, I have family in Huntington, and my go-to breakfast place is Tudor's Biscuit World. Here's their biscuit menu:
I'm a Duke man, myself.
There's a couple in Morgantown, and I will be there on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Decent cup of coffee, too.
Too bad the game's against WV instead of Pitt.
i may drive to morgantown for the game if it sounds like a good idea in a month
Our kid has precluded us from trying many places lately.

Tea, Todd and Blair find themselves pulled into Powell's plans, Marty finds herself in danger, and Lola goes to Dorian with the goods on Langston and Markko...
At Todd's, after Blair, Tea and Todd open their invitations to the KAD Spring Fling, Blair passes out! As Todd screams for Tea to call 911, Tea passes out too, and Todd does as well – before any of them can get to a phone!
When Rebecca locks John in Powell's cell, at the Sitwell Institute, he finds an invitation for the KAD Spring Fling and demands answers from Rebecca, who's peering in through the window!
Back at the motel, Marty looks at the invitation then answers a call from John. As she's trying to explain what she found, Marty starts feeling strange and says that she needs some air. Just as she reaches the door handle, John screams for her not to unlock the door, but it's too late – Marty opens the door, passes out then a man walks in and hangs up the phone!
After the phone goes dead on John's end, John starts to appear dizzy, and Rebecca informs him that the invitations have been chemically tainted – and that he will soon become immobile! John grabs his gun, takes aim, but Rebecca calls for help – then some orderlies rush in and restrain John, who Rebecca blames for attacking Powell, who is now in the infirmary. She then announces that John McBain is wanted for murder! As Rebecca walks away, John screams, "You witch!" As John is put in a straitjacket, he is able to get an orderly to listen to him, and he begs him to call the Llanview PD and let the commissioner know that he's there!
Still in the motel, when Marty opens her eyes, she sees Powell standing over her! Powell calls Todd, who is able to press a button on his phone – and Powell laughs. "Hey, Todd, did you get my invite?" Powell tells Todd that there's no need to RSVP to his invitation then says, "I'll see you at the Spring Fling!" Later, after Powell has gotten Marty to the bed, Rebecca arrives to let Powell know that everything is going as planned then Powell holds her and says, "We're finally going to have it all." Powell and Rebecca then gather Marty up and leave the room!
Back at Todd's, Jack comes downstairs and sees Todd, Tea and Blair passed out on the floor!
During gym, just as Matthew apologizes to Destiny for the way he treated her, Justin appears and starts calling him names. Over talk of prom, Justin taunts Matthew with not having a date, as well as bashes Destiny, saying no one would ever take her, causing Matthew to defend Destiny – and Destiny to claim that she has a prom date, who isn't Matthew! After Justin and Becca leave, Matthew asks Destiny to the prom, but she still claims that she has another date. Matthew then decides not to go to prom then tells her, "Have fun tonight." Once Matthew is gone, Destiny calls someone and demands that he take her to prom!
Out in the hall, as Langston talks to Markko about preparations for their night 'after prom', Lola listens from around the corner then approaches them with sarcasm, leaving Langston to tell Markko, "She's up to something!"
Starr and Cole arrive at the Buchanan mansion. Though Cole is reluctant to face Bo, they ring the bell…
Inside the Buchanan mansion, Bo picks up on Nora's nervousness, as she prepares to head to work, then suggests that they stop avoiding each other and talk. Suddenly, Cole and Starr are at the door, wanting to see Bo. As Cole faces Bo, for the first time, Bo admits that he has been avoiding him too – for fear of what he'd do to Cole! Though Bo is angry with Cole, Cole apologizes for what he's done then promises to try to live a different kind of life. "I'm clean right now, and I'm working really hard to stay that way," Cole says then asks for a favor. "A favor?" Nora asks. "From us?" Cole and Starr explain the situation with Hope then ask if they can help them get Hope's body exhumed. Bo agrees to help, and appears to accept Cole's apology, then Cole and Starr go to leave – but Nora asks for a word alone with Cole.
Alone, Nora sincerely tells Cole that it took a lot of guts to come there today, and she hopes that his recovery goes well. As Cole worries about his mom, Nora assures him that John will protect her – because John would need to be tied down and knocked out before he let anything happen to Marty! Though Nora can't forgive Cole just yet, she apologizes for his pain. As Cole goes to leave, he comes face to face with Matthew! Back in the living room, Nora agrees with Bo – that they need to talk.
Lola arrives home, as Dorian is finishing up a phone message to Blair, then acts as though everyone hates her. Dorian assures Lola that since her ploy didn't work, no one hates her then decides to give her a second chance – for Ray's sake – to become part of her family! Lola starts whining about feeling like a little girl and admits that she's not ready for a guy like Markko. Lola then talks about how Markko is pressuring Langston then says, "I heard them talking about something called Operation Deflower." Lola appears innocent, and acts as though she has no idea what that means, then spills about how Markko and Langston are planning to get a room after prom – and about buying condoms!
Langston and Starr arrive home in the foyer, and as Langston tells Starr that she and Markko are going to go all the way tonight, Dorian enters and says over her dead body!
Next on One Life to Live:
After Cole sees Matthew, he's tempted to take a pill!
Powell and Rebecca continue with their plan.
Langston and Dorian have it out.

Prompt: Gift. This month, gifts and gift-giving can seem inescapable. What's the most memorable gift, tangible or emotional, you received this year?
My first blog started as a way for me to vent. I would rail about racism or obvious social misgivings that I thought I needed to point at and scream, " Hey everybody, look over here!!" I did it mostly to screw with people, nobody read it but my friends so I wasn't really screwing with anyone.
I used to spend significant time on craig's list creating false personal ads. I wanted to see how completely ridiculous I would have to be before I was unable to find someone that wasn't perfectly willing to do whatever demeaning, degrading, perverse, self-satisfying extravagance I had contrived. I would be sexist, racist, homophobic, if you can imagine it, I would send out the ad and see what kind of response I would get. Hate mail was just as fun, and a little more welcome, than the genuine responses I would get.
These posts, too, would get added to my blog. I never shared responses to the posts because I felt that even though they were perverted in one form or another, and had decided to share that perversion with someone they thought was just as diabolical in their thirsts, they hadn't volunteered their sickness to be broadcast to the five people that read my page in those days. So, I tooled along like that for a few months but soon found that perversion was everywhere and that became boring fast, as well as finding that I really didn't care enough about most of the things that were current at the time to form a hard lined opinion one way or another. So, I stopped doing it, I moved on to the next entertainment the internet had to offer, and I left it.
Then I met a woman, in our "getting to know you" phase she came across my blog. She convinced me that I had a talent for the written word, and I took tentative steps toward writing again. She helped me to find a voice and convinced me to use it more than ever before. This was the first gift I was given this past year. A gentle nudge, a kind word, a laugh in all the right places and I was writing with a fevered abandon that I had never known.
I wasn't just writing, I was writing the things that made me who I am. I was exposing to the internet my closeted dirty laundry, and was getting it off my chest. Releasing it in kilobytes, never to return, hopefully. With this new format I found I had lots of things to say, but was struggling with the idea that the blog I had created, and aptly titled "Idiocy Incarnate" wasn't the right environment to share these stories.
For one, the title didn't work, or at least it didn't speak to the content someone who happened to find it would expect. It also was too happy, blogger based theme, and no real flare. Then I got the second gift I received this year, a friend, who had been reading, came to visit me and offered to build me a new page. He offered to pay for the domain, and set up the page, all I had to do was write. Don' t get me wrong, I picked the domain name, tweaked his original design and added the header that is still in place to this day, but for the mot part when he called me and said it's ready, it was. I moved the things I wanted to, erased the old blog and never looked back.
So, you see, these words you're reading, dear friend, are my gift to you, but they are also a gift to me from two people that may have changed my life, on that note the jury is still out, but it sure feels like I have a new drug of choice, and this one is legal.

This is another really healthy, gluten free, quality ingredient protein bar recipe. It is a healthy version of rice crispy treats! They taste so good that I have to stay out of the fridge or I will grab for another one! The kid's love them and they love to help make them!
I compare these taste wise & their nutritional value to my favorite Kashi Go Lean Peanut Crunch bars, which cost me over $4 for 5 bars. The cost to make these bars is about $15 to make 24 bars. That makes a great nutritional snack for about $.62. You can freeze these for easy grab and go snacks before sporting events or for a quick breakfast option. If you want a cheaper option, you can substitute the almond butter for peanut butter, the agave nectar for honey, and the brown rice cereal for oatmeal.
12 oz. Almond butter
12 oz. Agave nectar
4 cups brown rice cereal
6 scoops or 1 2/3 cups of Arbonne Vanilla Protein Powder
1. Mix almond butter and agave nectar together in a microwavable bowl.
2. Heat for 60-90 seconds. Mix well.
3. Add protein powder. Mix well.
4. Add brown rice cereal. Mix well.
5. Spread into a 9 X 13 pan.
6. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Alessandro Filipepi Botticelli
The Trinity with Saints, 1491-94
Tempera and oil on panel
Samuel Courtauld Trust: Lee Bequest, 1947
The Trinity with St Mary Magdalene and St John the Baptist, the Archangel Raphael and Tobias, Botticelli and assistants 1491-1494, The Courtauld Gallery, London
The Last Moments of St Mary Magdalen, Botticelli, 1491 (Philadelphia Museum of Art) This painting is part of an altarpiece commissioned for a convent for repentant prostitutes, Sant' Elisabetta delle Convertite in Florence.
In the centre is a vision of the Trinity: God the father, a dove symbolising the Holy Spirit and Christ on the cross. Flanking this surprising apparition are John the Baptist, patron saint of Florence, and Mary Magdalen, patroness of the convent. Mary is clothed by her hair and John wears fur, recalling the time both saints spent in the wilderness.
Life for the nuns of the Convertite was similarly austere. They were urged to follow Mary Magdalen's example. The story of her conversion to Christianity was shown in four small panels once fixed below this painting (one is shown here).
Two small figures, the Archangel Raphael and Tobias, walk in the landscape below the Trinity. Their graceful style differs in technique from the main figures. It was normal practice for artists like Botticelli to delegate portions of a large altarpiece to assistants. The angels surrounding the Trinity are certainly by members of his workshop.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police are on the hunt for a dangerous criminal they say shot a man where children come to play.
A 23-year-old was shot on the basketball courts outside the Lester Community Center. Police are investigating, but do not have any leads.
Mathieu White works for parks services and hands out sack lunches on the courts outside the community center to needy kids.
"Some kids just don't have the opportunity to eat during the summer time, like they do during the school year," he said.
However, Wednesday night, those same basketball courts were swarmed with police instead of children.
Even though the shooting did not happen inside the center, White said he worries it will scare people away.
"We're out here trying to keep kids safe and feed kids, and it's just terrible to think that in the same location where I have dozens of kids come by every day, that there's a shooting a couple of hours after I leave," he said.
White is part of the mayor's Gun Down program and said crimes like these stand in the way of the good work he and others are trying to do in the community.
But, as the police continue to search for suspects in the shooting, White said he will continue to work towards change.
"The kids need a positive influence to let them know that this is not alright," he said. "You don't need to fight. You don't need to pick up guns."
Police do not have a description of the shooter, but if you can help them get the guy off the streets, call Crimestoppers at 528-CASH.

A non-profit dog rescue in Northern California is scrambling to move nearly three dozen rescue dogs to a new location. The clock is ticking. The dogs, who were rescued from high-kill shelters, need help moving to another home in Siskiyou County in ten days or else face being evicted and perhaps euthanized. NBC5's Laura Cavanaugh reports.
Last month we told you about Dexter's Rescue Remedy, a non-profit animal shelter run by Charlot McClendon, who started saving dogs nine years ago.
In 2011, she moved to her current property near Horse Creek and continued to save canines on death row from high-kill shelters. McClendon has rescued and rehomed 400 dogs since she started. But last month, McClendon says she was served an eviction notice from her landlord. She claims he wanted 50% of her profits, something she wasn't willing to do, considering she runs a non-profit.
Facing eviction, McClendon asked for additional time to find a suitable property for the homeless animals. A Siskiyou County judge ordered the animal rescue to vacate by February 15th.
It's an emotional subject for Therese Holliday, who rescued her chihuahua, Sassy, from a shelter.
"I've met these dogs. They have so much love to give," says Holliday.
And that's why Holliday plans to volunteer with what she hopes will be a legion of volunteers to help the animal rescue this weekend. They've found a plot of land five miles outside of Yreka, but it has no water or power. Now with ten days left to move these homeless animals to a safe haven, both women say they hope this is a call to action for an army of compassionate volunteers.
TO HELP: You can contact Charlot McClendon at (530) 643-3728 or check out their Facebook page: "Dexter's Rescue Remedy"

Waynflete puts on a show, dispatches NYA
PORTLAND—When the Waynflete boys' basketball team is on, it truly is a sight to behold.
Saturday afternoon, the Flyers put on a dizzying display of jawdropping first quarter basketball and the rival North Yarmouth Academy Panthers could only stand by and marvel.
After the Panthers scored the first basket of the game, Waynflete ripped off 24 successive points, scoring in transition, on second chance looks and behind strong shooting to effectively end the competitive phase of the contest.
After NYA crawled within 13 points in the second quarter, the Flyers ended all doubt by opening up a 39-16 halftime lead, as they boasted as many offensive rebounds (11) as the Panthers had total boards in the first 16 minutes. Combine that with the nearly unstoppable force named senior Serge Nyirikamba, the whirling dervish of excellence named senior Harry Baker-Connick and hot-shooting sophomore Milo Belleau and Waynflete was simply impossible to counter.
The Flyers pushed their lead to 58-22 after three quarters and went on to a 75-35 victory, as Nyirikamba led all players with 19 points and 16 rebounds, Baker-Connick stuffed the stat sheet, Belleau drained four 3-pointers and several other players stepped up as well as Waynflete continued to recover from its first loss earlier in the week, at Yarmouth, to improve to 8-1, snapping NYA's five-game win streak and dropping the Panthers to 6-3 in the process.
"We've been trying to start better," said Flyers coach Rich Henry. "Yarmouth gave us an example of how to start better and the kids really took that to heart. Yarmouth's a quality club. They're well coached. Their philosophy is to get off to a good start. You can talk about it and when you see the impact it has on the game, it's easier for the kids to understand and apply it."
Lofty goals
Both NYA and Waynflete entered the season believing they could be in the hunt this winter.
The Flyers, a regional finalist last winter, opened with an emphatic 92-35 home win over Greater Portland Christian School and haven't looked back, following that victory up with a 77-23 home romp over Sacopee Valley, a 66-42 triumph at NYA, a hard-fought 67-51 home win over Old Orchard Beach and a 52-38 victory at Traip. Last Saturday, Waynflete made a statement with a decisive 64-36 home victory over Western B contender Wells, but the Flyers finally stumbled Tuesday at Western B power Yarmouth, 86-64. Thursday, they got back in the win column with an 83-22 win at A.R. Gould.
The Panthers, who went 7-11 and missed the playoffs in 2012-13, edged visiting Traip in the opener, 51-50, then lost at home to Waynflete (66-42) and Old Orchard Beach (67-52). NYA then rattled off five straight victories, its longest streak since the 2007-08 season, downing visiting A.R. Gould (76-42), Sacopee Valley (76-51) and Pine Tree Academy (59-26) and host Seacoast Christian (51-48) and Hyde (44-42).
Waynflete's win over NYA last month was its ninth in a row in the series, giving the Flyers a 17-11 advantage dating to the start of the 2001-02 season (please see sidebar, below). The last time the Panthers beat Waynflete was Jan. 3, 2009, a 37-33 victory in Portland.
Saturday, Waynflete made it 10 in a row, thanks to its first quarter surge (or Serge, if you prefer).
NYA appeared to get off to a promising start when junior D.J. Nicholas knocked down a 3 44 seconds in, but that would prove to be the Panthers' highwater mark. They wouldn't score again until the waning seconds of the first period.
It took the Flyers all of 40 seconds to take the lead for good.
Senior Henry Cleaves got Waynflete on the board with a driving layup and the next time down, Cleaves set up Nyirikamba for a layup. Nyirikamba was fouled on the play and added the free throw to complete the old-fashioned three-point play for a 5-3 advantage.
That was just the beginning.
Baker-Connick delivered his first assist, to Nyirikamba, who made a layup, Nyirikamba then scored on a putback while being fouled and completed the three-point play with a free throw, then scored on a third-effort putback while being fouled and made another free throw for a 13-3 lead.
"As a team, we try to crash the boards, even the guards," Nyirikamba said. "I take pride in that. As a big man, I'm always looking for second chance points. Those are the easiest points around."
"We talk about the fact that we'll see a lot of zone and zones create a lot of offensive rebounding opportunities," Henry said. "(The guys are) figuring it out. Henry's doing a great job of getting to the weak side. He gets one, then they have to worry about him and Serge gets one."
If that wasn't enough, Belleau hit his first 3 (assisted by Nyirikamba), Cleaves made two foul shots after being fouled on an offensive rebound, sophomore Pace Hutchinson scored on a putback, Baker-Connick showed his athleticism with a driving layup and with 51.3 seconds to go in the quarter, senior Joey Schnier was fouled after an offensive rebound and made both free throws to complete the sensational 24-0 run.
A bank shot from Nicholas with 14.1 seconds left ended a 7 minute, 2 second drought and pulled NYA within 24-5 at quarter's end.
To their credit, the Panthers made things interesting for a time in the second period.
A leaner from junior Chase Gendron, a layup by freshman Haven Cutko off a feed from Gendron on an inbounds pass, and a leaner from Cutko pulled NYA within 13, 24-11, but Waynflete answered and put it away by halftime.
A layup by Cleaves (assisted by Baker-Connick) ended the Panthers' 8-0 run and a 4:02 dry spell and Baker-Connick added a long 3 to make it 29-11.
After Gendron made two free throws, Baker-Connick found an open Belleau, who knocked down a 3-ball, Cleaves made two free throws and Nyirikamba scored on a putback to stretch the lead to 36-13.
Gendron countered with a jumper and Cutko made a foul shot, but with just 9.1 seconds remaining, Baker-Connick found Belleau again and Belleau again drained a 3 for a 39-16 advantage at the break.
"Without Harry, our transition's a lot slower," said Belleau. "It's really helpful to have a guy who's that quick. He makes our jobs simpler."
In the first 16 minutes, the Flyers dominated on the glass, forced 14 Panthers' turnovers and got 13 points and eight rebounds from Nyirikamba, nine points from Belleau (on three 3s), eight points from Cleaves and five points, four assists, three rebounds and a steal from Baker-Connick.
Little changed in the second half.
Waynflete's first hoop of the third period was as easy as 1-2-3, as Baker-Connick (who wears number 1) found sophomore Abel Alemayo (number 2) and Alemayo hit a 3-pointer.
NYA countered with a layup from senior Jackson Cohan-Smith and senior Forrest Chicoine set up Nicholas for a fastbreak layup, but the Flyers would close the quarter on a 16-2 run, as Nyirikamba scored on a third-effort putback, Nyirikamba made a layup after a steal, Baker-Connick weaved through the defense for a layup, Baker-Connick set up Belleau for another 3, Alemayo selflessly passed up an easy hoop and set up Nyirikamba for a layup and after Cohan-Smith made a layup after a steal, Hutchinson completed a three-point play and after blocking a shot at one end, Schnier made a layup at the other to make the score 58-22 heading for the final stanza.
There, Panthers' freshman Jake Malcom and Schnier traded jumpers, Nicholas tipped home a missed shot, but sophomore Willy Burdick made two foul shots for the Flyers. Senior Ryan Hemenway made a 3 for the visitors, but sophomore Will Nelligan was the recipient of a gorgeous pass from Baker-Connick and made a layup, then, seconds later, Baker-Connick again found Nelligan for a layup and a 66-29 lead.
"We're getting better at pushing it off the break," Baker-Connick said. "We didn't run as much against Yarmouth and we learned from that. When we push it, it's easier for us to score."
Gendron made a layup, but Cleaves made a free throw, Baker-Connick made jaws drop with a gorgeous reverse layup after a steal and Burdick made a layup after a steal. NYA then got a spinning layup from Cutko after a steal. Freshman Charlie Lyall and Yai Deng made layups for Waynflete's final points before a baseline jumper from sophomore Sean McMullan of the Panthers brought the curtain down on the 75-35 Flyers' victory.
"This game, we came out and controlled the tempo the whole game," said Nyirikamba. "Yarmouth taught us that on any given night, a team can beat us. I think it made us stay humble."
The Flyers produced a marvelous team effort.
Nyirikamba led the way with 19 points and 16 rebounds, both game highs. He also had a pair of steals and a blocked shot.
"People might not know how good he is, because Serge is so unassuming and not very demonstrative," Henry said. "He just plays his game and plays it well. There's no wasted motion. He leads by example. He's a pleasure to be around."
Belleau sank four of his team's six 3-pointers for 12 points. He also had five rebounds and three steals.
"If I get off to a good start, it's really helpful," Belleau said. "If I make them, I'll keep shooting."
"Milo has grown up a lot," Henry said. "He's really worked hard over the summer and he's seeing that hard work pay off. The game seems slower to him now, which you like to see."
Baker-Connick had nine points, nine assists, seven rebounds and three steals.
"Everyone has their roles," said Baker-Connick. "I'm more of an assister and play tough D."
"I can't say enough good things about Harry," Henry said. "As great as a player as he is, he's an even better leader and a better young man. He's just a pleasure to coach and a pleasure to have in the program."
Schnier played a key role off the bench with six points. five boards and a block.
"Joe's a glue guy," said Henry. "He had a knee problem, then he had his wisdom teeth out. We're trying to work him back into the rotation. He's played four years. He knows what it takes."
Cleaves added nine points, six rebounds and four steals, Hutchinson had five points (and six rebounds), Burdick and Nelligan had four apiece, Alemayo three and Deng and Lyall two each.
Waynflete almost doubled up NYA when it came to rebounds, 48-25. Nearly half (21) were on the offensive glass. The Flyers also had 16 steals.
Waynflete committed 17 turnovers, but forced 25, and finished 13 of 20 from the free throw line as it continued its recent dominance over the Panthers.
"When I first got here, (NYA) had unbelievable teams with unbelievable players and they were someone we looked up toward," Henry said. "We still have a great deal of respect for them."
NYA was led by Nicholas with nine points. Gendron had eight (and a team-high five rebounds), Cutko seven, Cohan-Smith four, Hemenway three and Malcom and McMullan two apiece. The Panthers attempted just five free throws and sank three.
"We're disappointed with the score being what it was," said NYA coach Jason Knight. "We played them tough for two-and-a-half quarters the first time at home. They just played great defensively. We knew that coming in. Their intensity, switching, their help defense really caused us problems. We didn't do a good job getting the ball inside to establish rhythm. We had some success with that the other day against Hyde. Our defensive transition wasn't there either. They have such great shooters. Milo was tremendous. Harry's just a tremendous visionary. He sees the floor well. I wasn't happy with our rebounding effort. We worked hard on that in practice. We knew they were very active. We tried to control the boards, but that set the tone."
Parting ways
This winter, for the first time in a long time, NYA and Waynflete are in different classes, meaning Saturday's game was the last time they'll see each other.
The Panthers returned to Class D this winter for the first time since the 2004-5 season and have a shot to be a factor come February. First, NYA (now sixth in the Heal Points standings) needs to win some games to help its cause.
The Panthers are back in action Tuesday at home versus A.R. Gould. Trips to Richmond and Hyde and home tests against Traip, Richmond and Old Orchard Beach also loom large.
NYA is seeking to end a four-year playoff drought and won't be content just getting there.
"I'm very pleased so far," said Knight. "I think we're where I hoped we'd be. We had a key injury early to (junior) Eoin Anderson, but our freshmen and D.J., who's new to the program, have stepped up. Eoin is still a couple weeks away. I'm looking forward to getting fully healthy. We're looking forward to the second half of the season. I feel like we can make noise in the tournament. The guys have the expectation of making a deep run. A lot of the D teams beat up on each other. We're playing a tough schedule which will help us down the road. Wherever we end up, as long as we're in, I like our chances to make a run."
The Flyers are now fourth in Western C. They play a pair of Western B teams next week, Lake Region Tuesday at home and Poland on the road Friday. Tough tests also remain against visiting Traip and Hyde and at Old Orchard Beach.
Waynflete's goal is simple. It wants to get back to the regional final and take the next step.
"If we play with intensity like today, we'll be in every game," Belleau said. "Our offense and defense both run through transition. If we can get out and run, that controls our success. We know we can always play better."
"Whatever seed we get, we'll be happy with," said Baker-Connick. "We want to get better every game. We got really far last year. To lose on that stage did not feel good. All the returning players know how that felt and we don't want to feel that again."
"Next week's big for us," Henry added. "January's basically the basketball season. We're more than halfway through. The kids know that."
