WOONSOCKET --- Chris Herren did a fair amount of traveling during his collegiate and professional basketball careers, not only touring arenas throughout the United States, but also finishing his hoop career overseas in Europe and Asia.
ItŌĆÖs been 6┬Į years since Herren last played professionally, but these days, heŌĆÖs still flying coast to coast and racking up frequent flyer miles.
And heŌĆÖs doing so as part of a hectic schedule of speaking engagements, which has seen the former Boston Celtics guard talk about his past struggles as a cocaine, Oxycontin, and heroin addict that ruined a promising NBA career and nearly destroyed his life, as well as the lessons he came away with from his experiences.
ŌĆ£I probably do about close to 250 (speaking engagements) a year,ŌĆØ said Herren. ŌĆ£Usually, itŌĆÖs Monday through Thursday and IŌĆÖm home Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then back on the road again. I could have a lot of time off if I didnŌĆÖt visit as many local high schools as I do, but thatŌĆÖs what this is all about.ŌĆØ
On Thursday morning, Herren braved a 75-minute drive through the snowy weather with Bob Eagan, the Director of Clinical Partnerships with The Herren Project, from his home in Portsmouth to Woonsocket to talk to the student body and faculty at Mount St. Charles Academy.
After everyone took in a viewing of Unguarded, an ESPN Films ŌĆś30 for 30ŌĆÖ documentary about Herren, in the schoolŌĆÖs gymnasium, Herren quietly made his move to the front of the audience and proceeded to speak from the heart for 70 minutes, even encouraging a question-and-answer session with the students midway through his discussion.
Herren was operating on a few hoursŌĆÖ sleep, because on Wednesday morning, he was at the Kansas City RoyalsŌĆÖ spring training complex in Surprise, Ariz. speaking to the team, and he didnŌĆÖt get back to Portsmouth until 2 a.m.
But that didnŌĆÖt prevent the 37-year-old Herren from speaking with the same energy, zeal, and drive that he displayed as a talented, three-time All-State guard and McDonaldŌĆÖs All-American selection at Durfee High School in Fall River, Mass.
ŌĆ£You have to have that,ŌĆØ Herren said about his energy, ŌĆ£because for one thing, I think the kids understand the honesty piece. They get that IŌĆÖm here to tell them the truth and I think thatŌĆÖs what they can identify with.ŌĆØ
HerrenŌĆÖs story is well-known and has been documented in two books, Fall River Dreams, which follows Herren and the Durfee High boysŌĆÖ basketball team during the HilltoppersŌĆÖ 1992-93 campaign, HerrenŌĆÖs junior year, and Basketball Junkie, a memoir about HerrenŌĆÖs basketball career and rise, fall, and rise again in life.
His problems with cocaine began in 1994 during his freshman year at Boston College and continued upon his transfer the following year to Fresno State. After turning pro with the Denver Nuggets in ŌĆÖ99, he began using Oxycontin and heroin during his 2000-01 season with the Celts and the following seasons he spent in Turkey, China, Poland, and Iran.
After his pro career ended in the fall of 2006, Herren continued to struggle with substance abuse, but he eventually received help and found sobriety on Aug. 1, 2008. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs been 4┬Į years now,ŌĆØ he told everyone, ŌĆ£a pretty amazing feat from where I came from.ŌĆØ
Herren, who at the beginning of his speech, noted that his goal was ŌĆ£to make a difference in one kidŌĆÖs life,ŌĆØ didnŌĆÖt delve much into his playing career, but chose to talk more about some of his experiences speaking at other schools and the challenges that students face today.
One point he hammered on multiple occasions to the students was a question asking them why they would have a need to use alcohol and drugs with their friends.
ŌĆ£When you leave here, ask yourself, ŌĆśWhat it is about myself that I donŌĆÖt like?ŌĆÖŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£ŌĆśWhy is it that I canŌĆÖt be myself on a Friday or Saturday night? Do I need to be prettier, tougher, stronger?ŌĆÖ It took me until I was 32 to figure that out.ŌĆØ
When it came to fielding questions from the students, of the dozen or so that were fired at Herren, the best may have been one of the last presented to him. If there was one thing he wanted the students to absorb from his talk with them, what would it be?
ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs a good question,ŌĆØ he added, before pausing to add, ŌĆ£You have to believe that this can happen to you. I want to inspire kids to share their struggles, because in sharing your struggles, you will find strength and help yourself and others.ŌĆØ

The political organization that helped secure President Obama's reelection is being turned into a nonprofit group funded by corporate money that will help advocate the president's second term agenda. This unprecedented move has some critics concerned at the possibility for cronyism and collusion.
Fox News reports, "Democratic officials familiar with the plan said Thursday [Jan. 17] the tax-exempt organization will be called Organizing for Action and seeks to harness the energy of the president's re-election campaign for future legislative fights."
The group will be a 501(c)(4) under the federal tax code, which permits tax-exempt status to organizations so long as their sole activity is not to influence an election. Therefore, the group cannot purchase ads in support of a candidate, but as a non-profit organization, could run ads in support of particular issues.
Officials indicate that the group will be separate from the Democratic National Committee, and will advocate issues such as gun control and immigration reform.
"Following in the footsteps of the campaign you built, Organizing for Action will be an unparalleled force in American politics," Obama said in an e-mail to supporters Friday. "It will work to turn our shared values into legislative action, and it'll empower the next generation of leaders in our movement."
President Obama's 2012 campaign manager, Jim Messina, will serve as Organizing for America's national chairman, while White House official Jon Carson will be leaving the Obama administration to become the group's executive director. The organization will be accepting donations from individuals and corporations, but not from lobbyists and political action committees, and will disclose the identities of its donors.
The board for the organization will be comprised of former White House and campaign aides, including former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, campaign officials Stephanie Cutter, Jennifer O'Malley-Dillon and Julianna Smoot, as well as Frank White, a businessman and Obama donor.

With Rick Santorum (faux conservative-Pa.) officially "suspending" his campaign and Newt Gingrich (corporatist adulterer-Ga.) fading to inconsequentialness, now is the time for all those "anybody-but-Mitt Romney" Republicans to get behind the only true conservative in the race: Congressman Ron Paul.
Unlike Mitt the Flip, who never held a position he couldn't change in an instant, Paul has been a consistent and rock-solid conservative his whole career.
He has run his campaign the same way. While other candidates have soared to the top of the polls only to flame out like a New Year's sparkler, Paul's campaign has plodded along, amassing delegates along the way. (Don't believe the media's delegate count. Paul's people are working behind the scenes to capture uncommitted delegates and take over local Republican Party offices, much to the dismay of the Republican establishment.)
Unlike Romney, Paul holds truly conservative ideals. He has pledged to balance the budget in three years. He will cut $1 trillion from the budget in the first year and eliminate five cabinet departments (Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Commerce, Interior and Education). He will abolish the Transportation Security Administration, end corporate subsidies (corporate welfare), stop foreign aid and return most spending to 2006 levels.
According to a recent New York Times/CBS News Poll, 69 percent of Americans believe the United States should end its involvement in the Afghanistan war. Paul has said he'll bring the troops home immediately.
Paul is more pro-gun, pro-Constitution and pro-liberty than Romney. Most importantly, while Romney wears Massachusetts' Romneycare around his neck like a millstone, Paul has none of that baggage. And Paul is a more attractive candidate to independents and moderates than Romney.
There are still 19 States that have not held their primaries: Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Nebraska, Oregon, Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas, California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah. There are still 1,152 delegates left to be awarded in those States. And while Paul will not win enough delegates before the convention to lock up the nomination, it's important that Romney doesn't either.
Then real conservatives can nominate a real conservative candidate that can beat Barack Obama in November.

British authorities have rescued at least 400 children who were brought to Britain often for use in blood rituals conducted by witch doctors, the BBC reported this week. The BBC's data come from child protection organizations and Scotland Yard, and document the problem: the superstition of juju, or the use of objects in rituals of witchcraft.
BBC reporter Chris Rogers, who broke the story, traveled to Uganda and contacted child kidnappers willing to provide as many children for juju as the reporter wanted. One kidnapper he contacted, witnesses told him, was involved in the mutilation of a boy who survived.
"He Would Need My Head"
According to Rogers, the witch doctors seek children through leaflets and newspaper advertisements, and "there is evidence that some are involved in the abuse of children who have been abducted from their families in Africa, and trafficked to the UK."
Quoting Christine Beddoe, director of the anti-trafficking charity Ecpat UK, Rogers reported that immigrants believe in the magical power of human blood. "Our experience tells us that traffickers can be anybody," she told the network, explaining:

Comments about Kokatat TROPOS Helix Dry Top:
This Tropos Helix drytop, though not the top of the line, keeps me completely dry. I've been completely submerged in class III rapids, and my clothes underneath did not get wet. I use it with a pair of dry bibs, and I stay as dry as if I were wearing a full drysuit. But you have to carefully mate the drytop to the dry bibs. Did not give it five stars because it is somewhat uncomfortable.

Poor performance and fit
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I wore these three times. They do not fit over the front of the shoe well and continually ride up the front of the shoe. They tore on the front as well after the third wear. These kept my feet very warm despite sub 40 degree temps, but unfortunately suffer from serious design issues and durability.
Scot B.
Nice shoe covers
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These seem to be made pretty well and should last me a few seasons. I find them easy to put on. They do fit snug once on, which is what you want. I am 43.5 shoe and the L/XL shoe covers fit nicely. These keep the wind out and the warmth in. These and wool socks and your feet will be happy. I have used them in 45-50 degree weather so far.
Flip them inside out a bit and they slide right over your shoes.
Christopher S.
size runs a bit small
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Sizing chart is a bit snug near the top of the chart. With 45.5 specialized shoes the covers are so tight that my feet are constricted and extremely uncomfortable.
David D.
They work
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Always hesitant to ride in the cold because my feet are the first to go. Not with these. Just arrived in the mail and went on a 30 mile ride. Temp. 28-30 degrees Fahrenheit. Never got cold. Stayed warm entire ride. I have the matching gloves also and they work as well. Got the shoe covers in XXL as i wear a size 12.5 US. Easy roll on fit and removal . These are neoprene , so your hands and feet will sweat , hence they will be damp when removed. Neoprene does not breathe. Booties will probably work at a lower temp.,but the gloves might not work as well at subfreezing temps.simply because that when you separate your fingers ,not as effective as mitts.or lobster style gloves.

Good for rain and cold weather

I have used them in rain, and in cold weather, and the work well on both, the fit is very good, and they actually look cool, had complements on my big Scorpions.
Mark V.
Snug fit
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I wear a size 42 shoe and have the L/XL booties which fit nice and snug. One thing to note is that to put the covers on, I turn them inside out and roll them over the shoes. This works just fine but I fear that it will wear on the seams faster. I went out in 20+ degree weather and was fairly comfortable.

I am a size 44 Shimano, the chart recommends Large, should i go up one size?
You would need the L/XL for this one.
I actually wear a 42 and the L/XL size is very snug, I was not surprise that after a few rides it just teared the back of the show covers... I recently bought a pair of Endura show covers and they kept me warmer and drier than the Castellis.

You are correct that the Small/Medium will fit sizes 39-42, and might be a little big for you. Giordana, Craft, and Louis Garneau all make shoe covers in Extra-small sizes, and make Neoprene covers similar to these. Give me a call to discuss specific models!

Are these light on your feet? I have a pair of Pearl Izumi that make me feel like I am carrying 10 extra pounds. I'm looking for an alternative. Need something that will keep my feet warm in the 30s, but without the bulk.
These are very light on the feet, and I've used them down to the mid-30's so far with great results.
Fits the bill
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Neoprene shoe covers. They keep my feet warm in the 40's and fit clean and snug over my 46.5 SIDI's in a XXL. I found that folding them almost completely inside out and then rolling them onto my shoes made them go on the easiest.
Great for cold weather
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I tried the Craft booties before these and my toes were freezing. I went out in 37 degrees with these on my feet and stayed nice and warm. They are easy to put on and off and look great. They seem to be high quality.

Has anyone ridden with these in warmer weather? Warmer to me is 45-65F. I'm looking for something that will span that gap of fall and early spring weather... Anyone tried with with just their shoes and a light summer sock to see just how warm they are?
Frederick G.
they would be a bit "toasty" for those temps.
Nicholas M.
Ive worn them up in 50s range before and my feet sweat a lot. It all gets trapped inside the neoprene too, so your shoes/socks end up pretty gross. I usually wear a pair of oversocks or two at that temperature range. Generally cheap, keep the grit off your shoes, and don't overheat your feet.
Tim Johnson
I have FINALLY found a shoe cover that actually keeps my toes from going numb in the cold winter rides here in WA State. Temps 35 deg. windy 18 mph, my feet and especially my toes stayed warm on a 15 mile ride.The fit is excellent. I wear a 47 road bike shoe, got XXL fits perfect.

My shoes are 44.5. Looks like I need an L or XL. Do you only have XXL? I can't see where I can order any other size.
Adam D
Looks like a L/XL is available in the dropdown now.
John F.
Just right
I was told to get these by a friend and i see why. They are awesome. I rode in 37 degrees and no problem at all. They are easy to slip on over your shoes and don't shift. If you are not thinking of your feet during a cold ride, then you know you have the right cover. I don't know about rain with them but they do seem quite durable so far. The right choice for shoecovers.
Francis C.
I would like to know if the XXL will...
I would like to know if the XXL will fit over the Lake mxz302 Mountain Bike shoes in size 47 standard width? I know Castelli tends to run small and since I only see the largest size in XXL I was wondering how they will fit over the Lakes especially with the Vibram soles.
Tom E.
Yes, it will fit with no problems. I wear it over my size 47 road shoes and it is easy to pull on and off.
Joe Widlicka

Write your question here...Would these work with mountain bike shoes?
Nic P.
Yup?..these are the ones!
Very warm, keeps out water to a point. if it is pouring out your feet will get wet no matter what but it better to have wet WARM feet. Love that they do NOT have a zipper; always find that the zipper digs in too often!
William Johnson Jr
Perfect for cold, wind or rain
The fit is dead on (XXL, size 46 shoe) and the look is unique. The scorpion is huge and looks great. Durable neoprene and a heavy duty velcro strap. My feet sweat internally, but the wind & rain doesn't get through the shoe vents to freeze my toes. 2 pairs of socks and these covers can handle 35-40 degrees for 3 hours with ease.
Love these shoecovers! Haven't ridden in rain, but have put them on during cold days of 25--35 and they keep me warm and cozy. Easy on/off as they are ultra stretchy. I'm a woman, shoe size 40.5, so thought the men's large suggested by the RealCycle staff would be too big, but they fit me well. The huge scorpion is very flashy. If you want to temper it a bit, you can switch the right/left ones and the outside will just read "Castelle". A good purchase.
Glad I'm not the only one to put them on the opposite feet, although it was more a matter of not paying attention rather than fashion

Tapping the
Scales of Justice - A Dose of Connecticut Legal History
While a single young woman,
Katherine Harrison worked as a servant to Captain John Cullick of
Hartford. She enjoyed telling the other servants their fortunes
after having read a book on the
and one of her fortunes concerning whom one of the servants would
marry came true.
Later in life Katherine married
John Harrison, the Wethersfield town crier, and had three daughters.
Her husband died in August of 1666, and she was left to raise her
children and farm the land. She was not well liked by her neighbors
and suffered various forms of harassment by them.
On October 12, 1669 she was
brought before a jury and found guilty of witchcraft. Despite the
guilty finding the court was hesitant to have her executed. It
called on a panel of ministers for advice on establishing rules of
evidence and to formulate procedures that made it much more
difficult to convict someone of witchcraft.
In the end Katherine was released
with the understanding that she leave Wethersfield for her own
safety and to appease her neighbors. Katherine went on to live in
Westchester, New York.

De Pere, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Basketball team pushed 25th-ranked St. Norbert College in the opening half before the Green Knights took charge in the second half in a 71-44 loss on Wednesday night.
Beloit led 8-7 two minutes into the game before SNC went on a 9-0 run to go up 16-8 five minutes later. But the Buccaneers responded with a 14-3 run in the next six-plus minutes to lead 22-19 with just under seven minutes left in the half. They grabbed their biggest lead at 30-25 with 2:27 left but the Green Knights closed the half on a 10-0 run to lead 35-30 at the break.
St. Norbert extended the run to 19-0 before Lauren McNanna hit a three-pointer at the 13:36 mark to pull Beloit within 44-33. The Bucs were within 12 at 53-41 with 7:26 left before going on a six-minute scoring drought. The Green Knights kept extending the lead until Kandace Fox stopped the dry spell with a jumper at the 1:34 mark. SNC out-scored Beloit 36-14 in the second 20 minutes.
McNanna led the Buccaneers with 15 points while Fox added 12. Both had seven rebounds.
Beloit continues their stretch of quality opponents on Saturday when they host 27th-ranked Monmouth College in Flood Arena. Game time is at 3:00 p.m.

In 1945, Bette graduated with a bachelor of science degree in education from Central Missouri State Teachers College in Warrensburg, Mo., where she was actively involved in the Pi Kappa Sigma sorority. After graduation, she worked as a ticket agent for Mid-Continent Airlines in Tulsa, Kansas City and Shreveport.
Bette married her one true love, Allen C. "Nick" Nichols, on Nov. 1, 1945, in Shreveport, La. They lived the majority of their life together in Humansville, Mo., where she initially worked as a medical assistant for Dr. G.G. Robinson and where later, together, they owned and ran Palmer's Dry Goods Store. They were both instrumental in the development of the United Methodist Church in Humansville as well as the production of the Humansville Centennial.
Together, they enjoyed traveling and evening card games with friends. Nick preceded her in death in 1983.
Bette moved to Price in 2003 and made many good friends at the Heirloom Inn.
She appreciated a good book and loved spending time with her family, especially Jackson.
Bette was preceded in death by her parents and husband. She is survived by her children JoAnn Nichols (partner Rick Marsh) of Vancouver, Wash.; David Nichols (wife Suzanne) of Wellington; only grandchild, Jackson Nichols; sister, Charlene Skidmore (husband Robert) of Springfield, Mo.; and niece, Margaret Sue Skidmore.
Memorial services are pending, as Bette will be interred next to her husband in Humansville, Mo.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the Carbon County Food Bank or the USO, PO Box 96860, Washington, DC 20090-6860.
Mom, may your memory be eternal.

Editor's note: This column was first published on Feb. 24, 2014 in The Times and The Call.
One of the selling points General Treasurer Gina Raimondo employed in
pushing for the pension settlement you may have seen something about in the news lately is that it brings "certainty" and "finality" in that it puts an end not only to the slew of lawsuits challenging the 2011 law, but also the court challenges to the 2009 and 2010 pension reform efforts.
And so it does. Until the next time.
North Smithfield Rep. Brian Newberry, the House Republican leader, has
worried on Twitter that the negotiated nature of the settlement would, if the General Assembly approved it, be locking the legislature into the notion that the settlement is a type of contract that the lawmakers ratified. Newberry seems to believe that sometime in the future, the General Assembly will have to once again make changes to pension rules and benefits.
Some union rank-and-file folks have the opposite, but in some ways similar concern: that by entering the settlement, the unions have abandoned the opportunity to have the courts rule that they have a contractual right to their pensions. They fear that somewhere down the road, the politicians are going to monkey with their pensions again.
In expressing their opposition to the idea, both Newberry and the union dissidents help make the proponents case for why the settlement was probably necessary.
What it comes down to is that nobody, not the governor and the general treasurer, not the General Assembly, not the litigating union members can force the judiciary to do anything, including, importantly, answer the question it is asked.
That is how we got into this whole pickle with the protracted mediation and negotiated settlement. The two sides went to court to get a simple question O.K., if not a simple question than at least a straightforward one answered: Did the General Assembly have the right to unilaterally change the pension benefits and rules that they had been forking over a substantial portion of their paychecks every two weeks to receive?
That is a constitutional judgment that Judge Sarah Taft-Carter did not
want to make. To be fair to her, no Superior Court Judge ever wants any part of deciding a constitutional dispute. Superior Court judges would sooner pull out their own molars with rusty pliers before they would wade into a constitutional ruling. That is the job of the Supreme Court.
It may be the Supreme Court's job, and they might do it when they
absolutely have to, but they, too will do everything in their considerable power to avoid doing so as well.
Had the 2011 pension suits gone all the way to trial ¡V which they just might on Sept. 15 if the settlement isn't approved by the General Assembly before that, but that is unlikely as well, there is no guarantee that the five justices would give a direct answer to the
straightforward question put to them. They could answer some other
question that is somehow similar, or a completely different one. Who's going to tell them they can't? Their word is final.
Even at the Supreme Court level, the solution isn't cut and dried.
Everybody has posed the question as whether or not the unions, by virtue of paying significant amounts of money over time, in effect, a quid pro quo, have a contractual right to the pensions they were told they were entitled to.
The state was probably a bit afraid that question would come back as yes, which could be why they agreed to the settlement. However, as those TV ads for cheap gizmos, say, But wait, there's more. There is a loophole in the case law that says that even if there is a contract and a legislative action significantly impairs that contract, the action can still be taken if there is a necessary and compelling public purpose, or some legal lingo to that effect. That was the big uh-oh, on the union side and why they
agreed to the settlement rather than taking their chances in court.
When you think you have a gun to the other guy's head in court, that is always the time it will backfire and get you instead.
The settlement does not provide certainty nor finality. If
anything, it for the most part preserves the uneasy status quo, and right now that seems to be good enough for both sides.
Courts aren't the only ones who don't want to touch this sucker with a
barge pole unless they absolutely have to. Take a look at this from House Speaker Gordon Fox and Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed, released the Monday after the settlement agreement was announced:
"We are still carefully reviewing the proposed pension settlement. We are going to give it the careful consideration that it deserves and we will be speaking with our respective House and Senate members to gauge their views as well. There is a long road ahead of us and the release
of the details of the settlement, which we were not party to, is just a first step. We will await the votes to be taken by both union and
non-union members before we weigh in further."
I'll translate: Please, please, please let the unions or the judge or someone short-circuit this before it gets to us so we don't have to go through this pension stuff again.
Some leftover thoughts:
--Cities and towns could be the wild card in this situation. Can mayors and town administrators put enough heat on their communities legislators in an election year to convince them not to approve the settlement, something a large number of them don't want to do anyway?
--Dan Beardsley of the RI League of Cities and Towns has been harrumphing that local municipalities did not have a seat at the table in the pension negotiations. But where was the taxpayers' seat at the table?
I loved the Tweet from CNN's Jake Tapper. It was a photo of text that
said: "If someone from the 1950s suddenly appeared today, what would
be the most difficult thing to explain about life today? A: I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of
information known to man. I use it to look at pictures of cats and get in arguments with strangers."
Did you see where rocker Ted Nugent, the Motor City Madman, has apologized to President Barack Obama? Well, sort of anyway.
In January, the rock-and-roll gun enthusiast gave an interview to a gun magazine in which he said: "I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame, enough Americans to be ever vigilant, but not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America. I am heartbroken but I am not giving up."
Nugent, who has been campaigning for Texas gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott had to back down and he told a radio talk host: "I do apologize not necessarily to the President but on behalf of much better men than myself." He said he was using "street-fighter terminology" (wonder when
old Ted was in his last street fight) and that he should have instead said something like "violator of his oath to the Constitution."
By the way, he said he was apologizing for the term "subhuman mongrel."
Apparently he was O.K. with the rest of his quote.

CARTHAGE It may be coachspeak, but when Carthage football coach Sam Millich says he and senior quarterback Bailey Wilkinson are on the same page, you tend to believe him.
The veteran coach is showing the ultimate faith in his senior leader not only to make the right decisions, but to call many of his own plays this season.
In the past, Millich has called the plays from the sidelines, necessitating his quarterback run the 25 yards from the huddle to the sidelines and back on almost every offensive play. But because Wilkinson has such a great grasp of what we want to do, according to Millich, were giving him the freedom to make many of those decisions himself.
Wilkinson is a grateful for Millichs faith in his abilities. I know its going to put more pressure on me, but I think Im ready, Wilkinson said. Besides, my offensive line and my backs and receivers give me a lot of help, so its not just me.
Carthage fans got only a small sampling of what Wilkinson means to the Carthage offense last season. Coming off a hamstring injury in summer lacrosse, the 5-foot-10, 160-pounder did not play the first two games with the Comets varsity a year ago.
Over the last six games, Wilkinson rushed for 412 yards, an average of 5.1 yards per carry, scored two touchdowns and passed for 364 yards and two more touchdowns. And he finished by gaining 150 yards on 29 carries in a Section 3 loss to Nottingham.
It was obvious that Bailey had a knack for making plays, Millich said. He knows how to create space, when and when not to keep the ball, and is elusive enough to not take a lot of big hits.
And what makes Wilkinson unusual for Millich is that he is the first starting quarterback in the last five years to return for a second season. All the others have mainly been seniors getting their first taste of starting.
His familiarity with the program is key, Millich said. Bailey has been around here since 2007 when he was a manager. Hes seen the highs and lows and what it takes to be successful in our league. We knew several years ago he was probably our quarterback of the future.
Wilkinson remembers watching that 2007 teams great run to the Section 3 Class A crown and then making it to the state semifinals before losing to Rochester Aquinas.
The Grimm brothers and guys like (quarterback) Zach Mulvaney and Dave Gallagher were my idols, Wilkinson said. This years team reminds me a lot of that one, with plenty of senior leadership and great players on both sides of the ball.
Wilkinson, a standout attackman on the Carthage lacrosse team who made the Times All-North first team this past spring, said he worked hard over the summer to improve in several areas.
Ive gotten stronger in the weight room, and did a lot of passing drills, Wilkinson said. But Im going to rely on my teammates and our core group of veterans to make this team as successful as we think we can be.
Millich said the key ingredient in his allowing his quarterback more freedom is he really understands our offense because hes been running it since modified. Bailey is a smart kid, a great student on and off the field. So he can grasp everything weve thrown at him.
Wilkinson believes his time on the lacrosse field also benefits his play at quarterback. Im always looking for the open man in lacrosse, so my vision has become a lot better. That really helps when youre looking for a receiver, or that open spot downfield on a run.
Millich also has an ulterior motive in leaving Wilkinson to make his own calls. We want to run more plays, to put more pressure on the defense to adjust, Millich said. Without him coming to the sidelines each play, we can keep defenses guessing. Hopefully, we can get our athletes more touches and maybe tire out the defense a little bit more.
Wilkinson realizes that his play can well determine how far the Comets go this season. Its part of the job, he said. If the quarterback does well, teams usually win. But Im so confident in the guys around me that I believe we have the potential to be a great team by the end of the season.
Like most of our seniors, Bailey takes a lot of pride in our program, Millich said. Hes become one of the real leaders on the field with his work ethic and attention to detail.
Wilkinson will play lacrosse at the college level, and would like to study environmental science. But while lacrosse is probably his future, football will always be special.
Theres nothing like a Friday night under the lights getting ready for a big game, he said. Thats what Ill miss the most.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Johnny Football and the SEC newbies from Texas A&M took down the biggest bully in their new neighborhood and left No. 1 Alabama with badly bruised national championship hopes.
Johnny Manziel, better known around Texas as Johnny Football, staked the 15th-ranked Aggies to a three-touchdown lead in the first quarter, and Texas A&M held on to beat the Crimson Tide 29-24 on Saturday.
The Aggies (8-2, 5-2), playing in the Southeastern Conference for the first season after ditching the Big 12, also might have ended the league's run of BCS titles at six years.
The defending national champion Crimson Tide (9-1, 6-1), who have been No. 1 almost all season and had won 13 straight, didn't go quietly.
AJ McCarron nearly pulled off a second straight scintillating comeback. He threw one touchdown pass and motored the ball downfield before Deshazor Everett stepped in front of his fourth-down pass at the goal line with 1:36 left.
Manziel passed for 253 yards and rushed for 92, confounding the Tide defense with his ability to keep plays alive as the Aggies scored the game's first 20 points.
"No moment is too big for him," coach Kevin Sumlin said of his remarkable redshirt freshman.
And no defense or venue too tough, apparently.

HAMMOND – A Canadian man who aided an undocumented Israeli citizen in entering the United States illegally in May was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Utica, to time served. The other man was also sentenced to time served Tuesday.
Alexander Zuenko, 53, St. Catherines, Ont., pleaded guilty to knowingly transporting an alien, Volodymyr Sukhov, within the United States after U.S. Border Patrol agents based in Ogdensburg halted his vehicle May 30 on Route 37 and discovered Mr. Sukhov and four of his family members were passengers.
According to court documents, both men are originally from the Ukraine, with Mr. Sukhov seeking asylum in Canada. When his request for asylum was denied, he sought Mr. Zuenkos help in getting into the United States.
According to a criminal complaint, agents were performing a roving patrol stop when they encountered the vehicle driven by Mr. Zuenko. Agents checked the history of the vehicle crossing the U.S.-Canadian border and learned that it had crossed into the United States through the Fort Covington port of entry, but when it had, it contained only one passenger. Agents observed that the vehicle now had six passengers, including Mr. Sukhov, who had no legal status to be in the United States, and four of his family members, who were not identified in court documents.
Agents said Mr. Zuenko told them he had been paid by Mr. Sukhov to transport the five passengers from Toronto to the border for the purpose of having the passengers enter the United States without proper admission. The complaint does not say how the five passengers entered the United States, but agents said they did pass through a port of entry. Mr. Zuenko allegedly told agents he had picked up the five passengers along a road in Fort Covington. He said he then was to drive the family to Tonawanda, near Buffalo.
Mr. Sukhov pleaded guilty to unlawfully entering the United States from Canada at a place other than designated by immigration officials for the entrance of immigrants.

About MS-Series harmonicas:
The acronym 'MS' stands for Modular System, an integrated concept of Hohner's harmonica designs. MS-series harmonicas benefit from innovations that improve their playing characteristics and also significantly facilitate maintenance and handling. All MS-series parts (combs, reed plates, and covers) can be combined individually. Simple screw connections allow for easy assembly. This benefit offers players the possibility to adjust the instruments to their individual requirements. For example, some players prefer the body of one model and the cover plates of another, and so a "custom hybrid" is possible for the discerning player. Replacement reeds are available (see item: RP565 MS Replacement Reed Plates).
About Hohner:
Hohner is a family company founded in 1857 in Trossingen, Germany by Matthias Hohner. Hand-made quality and close attention to detail has set Hohner apart from the beginning. A top leading brand in harmonicas, Hohner harps are distributed worldwide. Hohner harmonicas are played on the street by buskers, in intimate nightclubs, on festival stages, and even in Carnegie Hall. Despite a diverse harmonica line used in music from country to classical genres, the most famous Hohner harmonicas are their simple, 10-hole diatonics used frequently by blues, rock, country, and folk musicians.

Comments about Hohner 580 Meisterklasse Harmonica:
I am in a Rock & Roll band and I like the fast, driving harp playing. Until I started buying the Horner MeisterKlasse 580 harps I couldn't find a brand of harps that would hold up. I have been very satisfied with the durability and sound of these harps. Also, I am able to actually change the reeds on the MeisterKlasse (only once so far), whereas other harps the screw heads strip easily and are difficult to replace.
Comments about Hohner 580 Meisterklasse Harmonica:
A little hard to pronounce and a little expensivebut, hands down the best harp I have ever played!This harp was refereed to me by a fellow musician who had no experience playing the harmonica, only hearing it. He said it was one of the sweetest sounding harps he had ever heard, so being a serious player I had to find out myself. After breaking this baby in, along with the bank, I quickly fell in love with this harmonica's smooth playability and clear expressive tone. Not as burly as the blues harp or marine band, but still bends down low with the best of them. Overall the best harp in the arsenal, anytime I want to get fast, clean tone for a solo I go with Meisterklasse

|$68,000 Drug Cash Confiscated After Search
More cash has been found and confiscated at a Howards Creek Road residence occupied by two men now in federal custody on drug charges. Yesterday, narcotics detectives with the Watauga County Sheriff's Office, Boone Police Department, and the NC Department of Revenue,
subsequent to an on-going investigation, returned to the residence of 671-B Howard's Creek Road, and turned up more cash that investigators say was receipts of drug deals. The residence was that of Louis Enrique Garcia and Javier Sanchez Chavez, who detectives arrested on December 7th during the execution of a narcotics search warrant netting a seizure of over a pound of crystal methamphetamine. As part of the ongoing investigation, narcotics detectives located and seized additional US Currency of over $68,000 which were direct proceeds stemming from the sale and distribution of methamphetamine. Sheriff Len Hagaman said, "Without question, the seizure of large amounts of currency, in concert with the actual seizure of the narcotics, delivers a devastating blow to their drug organization. He pointed out the reality of the proceeds being many times greater than "honest and hard working citizens may make in multiple years." He said the investigation is still going and more arrests are expected.

Midwest Living Review
The rustic-looking buildings at the Inn and Spa at Cedar Falls are part of the charm. The fresh-baked cookies on arrival are another touch that makes you feel right at home. Each of the inn's 12 cottages sit on their own 2 wooded acres; each are outfitted with a deck and a whirlpool hot tub. Dogs are welcome in two of the cottages. Five private log cabins cluster closer to the main inn, where there are nine guest rooms, each with a private bath. All overnight guests enjoy a complimentary breakfast, a big menu of fruits, granola and hot dishes such as French toasts, souffls and casseroles featuring local ingredients. The gourmet food doesn't stop at breakfast. Lunches include seasonal soups, salads and sandwiches, plus yummy desserts. Dinners are a big affair, with an open kitchen where guests are welcome to watch their gourmet meals, which include entrees such as herb-roasted rack of lamb and chicken pancetta, being prepared from scratch. If you'd like to be part of the cooking action, the inn offers Weekend CookIn classes (plus other special events, including photography workshops and Stepping Up and Out adventure weekends). The great meals give you the energy to explore the rolling Hocking Hills, famous for rock formations, waterfalls and forests. There's so much to do: festivals, galleries, shops, state parks, fishing, cycling, canoeing, hiking. Back at the inn, head to the spa house for massage, body scrubs, wraps, facials, foot detox baths and more. From $129.

With the arrrival of the holiday season celebrations and gifts will be at the forefront of the festivities. Once all of the gifts are torn open, there are bound to be mounds of wrapping paper in each and every home, which can mean damaging waste for the environment.
Wrapping paper, boxes and ribbons tossed straight into the garbage can mean that pounds of added trash will end up in landfills across the country. According to the Clean Air Council, an additional five million tons of waste is generated during the holidays in the United States. Four million tons of that waste is wrapping paper and shopping bags. There are smarter solutions to dealing with holiday clean-up.
The first step is choosing environmentally responsible wrapping materials. Glossy, metallic or embellished wrapping paper may not be easily recycled -- or even recyclable at all. Instead, look for wrapping paper that is made from recycled materials and can, in turn, be recycled once more. Consider wrapping gifts in plain, brown mailing paper and decorate the outside with earth-friendly paints.
Next, nix the tissue paper inside of gift boxes. It doesn't really serve a functional purpose, except for further delaying the reveal of the gift inside. Tissue paper alone accounts for a lot of extra trash. Skipping it means a person will be saving money and the environment. Here are some other green cleanup tips.
Designate a child or adult to gather the discarded wrapping materials and sort the piles into trash. Ribbons and bows can be reused, as can many gift boxes and bags.
Shred paper items that are bound for the trash to reduce their volume and require fewer trash bags for transport.
Find out if a shipping store will take foam peanuts and air-filled wraps to be recycled.
Be sure to collect expired batteries and recycle them at a facility that does so.
Christmas trees can be taken down and sent for mulching. Many communities collect trees after the season is over for this purpose.
Because there is bound to be some extra garbage during the holidays, individuals can take steps to curb trash in other aspects of their lives this time of the year. Some ideas include using cloth napkins and actual dishes and cutlery instead of disposable items. Before purchasing new gift paper, sort through last year's collection to see what items can be reused. Cutting the front off of holiday cards and using them as gift tags is another way to recycle.
Finally utilize the trailers placed around Price to recyle materials that the local Green Team is accepting. Those trailers are located at Sutherlands, by JB's in west Price and on the USU-CEU campus.

Connecting rod open forked type
Hello! Has anyone experience with the running conditions/behaviour of 1937-38 open bottom forked rod located in the front cylinder (stock crank case 1937 with baffle plates)? Is it a good idea to change to the later enclosed type and switch position (forked rod: rear cylinder) and machine the rear baffle plate accordingly? Thanks

While the attrition rate among freshman broadcast scripted TV shows is brutal (pick which you think will be canceled first here), returning sophomore shows aren't completely safe. Every season it's reasonable to expect one or more to fall prey to the Cancellation Bear.
Last season, Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23 and Whitney were sophomore shows that became #bearchow. (and as astute commenter Tom points out, so were Touch, Up All Night and Smash.)
Unlike the "first show to be canceled" poll, the "Which Sophomore Shows Will Be Canceled?" isn't a choice of "first". If a sophomore show is canceled it's virtually certain it will be canceled at the end of the season (or at least after its run of ordered episodes is complete).
Also, unlike the other poll, you're not limited to a single choice in this poll, you can pick as many shows as you think will be canceled.
Which sophomore shows will be canceled by the end of this season? Feel free to expound on your choices in the comments. (and feel free to remind me which shows I forgot to put in the list)
Again, as they say in Chicago, vote early, vote often.

The Pleasures and Problems of Being Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby, who was blessed this year with Ennis William, the son he has long hoped for, would seem to be a most fortunate man. TV's black I Spy guy has definitely come in from the cold in the six years since he was a moonlighting college athlete. but having "arrived" as a top-billed comic and an impresario, he finds himself accused of retarding the black revolution, confronted by show business fringers who regard him as an easy mark, and forced to break with his tow corporation partners.
This photographic print is digitally printed on archival quality paper with vivid color and exceptional detail, suitable for museum or gallery display.

Great middle of the road dry bag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is an excellent dry bag considering the price, weight, and waterproofness of the bag. I've used it canyoneering for long swims, in the rain backpacking, and in several other applications. It's kept everything dry and works well for quite a few things.
At just over 4 oz for the 15 liter bag, it's not much of a weight restriction backpacking, but works well for the items that need to stay dry in your pack. It fits quite a few snacks, phone/gps, camera, etc. I wouldn't trust it to be submerged with electronics in it, but in rain, or floating on a lake/river, I would. After several swims in a recent slot canyon, some water did start to creep in the roll top, but didn't get past 2 or 3 folds. I just made sure to fold it tightly, 4 or 5 times and nothing has ever been wet.
Doubles really well as a bear bag, trash bag, food bag, etc. Really pleased with this bag, and the daisy chain on the outside is a big plus.

An African Food Garden in Turin
13 Sep 12
Recreating an African food garden in the gray Piedmontese autumn … a mad idea. But what better way to bring to a close the crazy project that over the last two years has taken Slow Food to every corner of the African continent, to create a Thousand Gardens in Africa. How else could we present such a vast and important project at the Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre? Certainly not with panels, text and photographs. For a while, we suggested various possibilities: import containers of African produce, display jams, juices and dried vegetables. Then the idea, which initially seemed absurd: to create a huge African food garden in Turin. Visitors could see the plants and wander around them, getting to know the vast variety of leafy vegetables (the leaves of potatoes, pumpkin, amaranth, manioc and many more are commonly eaten around Africa), the medicinal herbs and the plants used to keep away troublesome insects, like vetiver. They could see up close a seedbed; how two plants are intercropped; systems for fertilizing without using chemicals; cheap methods of drip irrigation, both ancient (terracotta jars with holes) and new (old plastic bottles hanging from a line); fences made without wire or cement, using only materials from the garden, like branches, palm leaves, bamboo canes or even spiny shrubs.
In short, a huge teaching garden in the middle of the African exhibition area inside the Oval. A 400-square-meter space, covered in soil and crossed by footpaths, planted with seedlings and fruit trees, with a seedbed and compost bins. The African food garden will represent the 25 countries involved in the project, and is intended as a kind of compendium, bringing together crops and techniques that would never coexist in nature, from different latitudes and different seasons.
It will be made possible by the hard work and dedication of Alda Garro, who for months has been sowing all kinds of exotic varieties in her farm in Peveragno, near Cuneo, so that they will be ready for October, and the collaboration of three agronomists, Ezio Giraudo, Francesco Sottile and Cristiana Peano. This anomaly is justified by its mission: to help everyone to understand and learn about the richness of the biodiversity of this extraordinary continent where we all originated.
Extracted from "Un orto Africano a Torino," by Serena Milano, published in Slowfood 55.
Discover the African food garden at the Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre, in Turin from October 25 to 29, 2012.

Well this is a bit late, about 3 in the morning, sorry I work 11pm to 7am and have been working the last 8 days, so my clock is a bit off. I am very glad it is friday to, although I have to go back to work sunday! Oh well.
Good luck on the kernel. I haven't used Drake to configure it, I probably wouldn't recommend it, I think the good ole menuconfig or xconfig will be more reliable. I could be wrong though. I think at this time you probably have already done one thing or another! ;D
So let us know how it goes!
