From kills at the net in volleyball to driving down the lane for an easy lay up in basketball, Borger senior J'Cee Pool has put together a stellar resume in athletics during her time in high school.
However, there was one goal she wanted to accomplish before she walked across the stage a graduation: qualify for the state track meet in the shot put.
Coming up just short of a state berth last year served as good motivation in preparing to compete in the shot put this year, with Pool commenting, "Making it to state is something I have always wanted to do, so when I finished in fourth place at regionals last year, I knew I had the ability to make it this year if I worked hard."
Fortunately for Pool, the goal was accomplished, but achieving the berth at state came in a dramatic fashion.
After holding the Panhandle area's best measured throw of the spring, at 41-8 1/2, Pool struggled in her first several throws at regionals, throwing 35-10 1/2, a 37-2 and 39-4 ½.
In watching her struggles, Borger Head Girls Track Coach Leslie Young said, "It was really tough to watch because for some reason J'Cee was dealing with some of the issues that hadn't been seen since earlier in the season."
Thankfully, Pool was able to put it together in her final throws by landing a 40-5 mark that was good enough to take second place at regionals and earn her a trip to state in the shot put.
What is interesting in talking to Pool about how she qualified for state in the shot put is the excitement Pool displays from the berth in the shot put.
It can be easy to forget that Pool dominated the competition to take first place in the discus the day before, allowing her to qualify for the state track meet in two events.
While beating her nearest competition by nearly 17 feet at regionals is impressive enough, Pool accomplished the feat in her first year competing in the event.
The idea for Pool to compete in the discus came from Borger Athletic Director Rusty Purser, with Pool recalling, "Before the season, Coach Purser suggested I try competing in the discus but I really wasn't sure about it because I would have to give up competing in another event. It took until about the third track meet before I started getting the hang of it and now it is something I have enjoyed competing in."
In the excitement of finally reaching the state track meet, it would be easy to wonder if Pool could get too caught up in the moment and not compete at her best.
However Pool has a different take, saying, "I think I perform my best when there is a lot of pressure, so I think I will be able to enjoy the whole experience and still be able to compete well."
Young added, "I told J'Cee that there is nothing like competing at the state meet. It has been 30 years and I can still remember my own experience competing in it. J'Cee has worked hard to earn this opportunity so I expect her to make the most of it."
Young also said Pool won't be alone at the state track meet with plenty of family and support from the school expected to be in Austin cheering her on.
In looking at the marks the other state qualifiers have put up in both events, Pool enters the meet with the potential to leave Austin with a medal by currently holding some of the top marks compared to the other competition she will go against in Austin.
As the senior year is wrapping up, Pool said she hopes to be able to continue competing in track and field at the collegiate level and plans on studying to perhaps become a pediatrician.
But for this week, Pool main objective is to make the most of reaching the final athletic goal before she graduates.
Pool is scheduled to compete in the 3A Girls Discus on Friday morning and the 3A Girls Shot Put on Friday evening at Mike A. Myers Stadium at the University of Texas in Austin.

|Multiple Meth Labs Found in Lenoir Home
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 05 November 2013 13:39
Sheriff Alan C. Jones has announced that on Monday, November 4th, Narcotic Agents with the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office Ice Unit executed a search warrant for a methamphetamine laboratory at 3551 Brook Street in Lenoir. Special Agents with North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation assisted
in the investigation. The two week probe began when Ice Agents received confidential information that the suspect, Rachel Colvard Brooks, 40, was manufacturing methamphetamine from her residence. Agents conducted a search of the NPLEX (National Precursor Log Exchange) system which reflected Brooks had made numerous purchases of Ephedrine based products.
An Agent with the Sheriff's Office Ice Unit presented probable cause to Superior Court Judge Timothy S. Kincaid and obtained a search warrant for the residence. A search of the home was conducted and nine separate "one pot" or "shake and bake" type meth labs and equipment were found and seized from the basement of the home. The labs were capable of producing large amounts of finished product. Agents also took numerous precursor chemicals, approximately a ¼ ounce of powder methamphetamine, cash, and other drug paraphernalia items from the home. Over 2,000 milliliters of meth oil waste was disposed of by the NCSBI Clandestine Team, indicating the labs had been producing a lot of finished product.

Creme Brulee just sounds romantic dessert, doesn't it?
Never mind that in English it translates to "burnt cream," this classic French dessert offers all the decadence you desire in a dessert to complete your Valentine's dinner.
Creme Brulee just sounds romantic dessert, doesn't it?
Never mind that in English it translates to "burnt cream," this classic French dessert offers all the decadence you desire in a dessert to complete your Valentine's dinner.
Made with some basic local Oklahoma ingredients, your Valentine's Creme Brulee is even better. You probably don't realize it, but you may have all the ingredients you need on hand.
Haven't had Creme Brulee before? It is a delicate custard gently baked in a hot (not boiling) water bath and topped with a thin layer of crunchy sweet caramelized sugar. You can do it today as it is easy to make and the simple silky smooth custard can chill out overnight in the fridge before you pop its sugar topping under the broiler before serving. Whether you dine out or grill some tender steaks at home, you can have a taste of fabulous creamy caramelized sugar-crusted goodness to celebrate with your special Valentine. I'm hearin' the music already just thinking about Creme Brulee.
Now about those Oklahoma ingredients. If you haven't had locally produced eggs yet, they are worth a trip to the nearest farmers market or specialty food purveyors who carry them. I've bought eggs from the Urban Agrarian Market in Oklahoma City, the OSU-OKC Farmers Market, Native Roots Market, the Farm to Fork Market Bus and Forward Foods.
Why do I like them so much? They are super fresh (often picked the morning you buy them) with beautiful yellow yolks and whites that have a thicker consistency and don't run like water when you crack the egg.
A milk and cream combination or half-and-half from Hiland Dairy or Braum's work very well in Creme Brulee. I must save you from trying fat-free half-and-half — it does not produce Creme Brulee. If you are trying to cut back on fat, reserve this dessert for an indulgence and make the portion smaller.
Share the extra servings with friends or neighbors or make one-third of the recipe.
I've made several varieties of Creme Brulee over the years and enjoyed this dessert in several restaurants across the country and overseas. Some people like to use a stirred custard method. I like the silky-baked version to the sweeter pudding-style base.
Sometimes the sugar crust is caramelized separately on a baking sheet and dropped onto the base. This can be done on a silicone baking mat, nonstick foil or buttered foil, but it is a little tricky to get the sugar to melt to the perfect size of the individual base or to move it in one piece after it cools. You still have to watch it very carefully.

Jean Vives is uniquely qualified to write this book. He has more than 30 years of backcountry skiing and mountaineering experience. Plus, his doctoral research on backcountry skiing won him the Charles S. Houston Award from the Wilderness Medical Society. In addition to skiing the Haute Route in the Swiss Alps between Chamonix and Zermatt, he has twice skied the Colorado Haute Route from Winter Park to Crested Butte. The latter took 28 days to complete and covered 170 miles, making it the longest ski tour in the United States using Alpine touring equipment.
Vives has published numerous articles on backcountry skiing that have appeared in Outside, Powder, and Ski magazines. A former codirector of Aspen Alpine Guides and member of Aspen Mountain Rescue, he has climbed and trekked all over the world. As a professor at Kathmandu University in Nepal, he taught high-altitude exercise physiology. Vives lives in Boulder, Colorado.
"How do you get started skiing the backcountry? As your first step, study Backcountry Skier. It cuts to the core of the sport and does a terrific job of teaching the basics as well."Louis DawsonAuthor, Wild SnowContributing Editor, Couloir
"This book is packed with information that I've never seen inside a cover before. It's a superb book-or rather, encyclopedia-for the lay backcountry skier."John WatermanAuthor, Surviving Denali

LPlan 2040 & LRTP
Dear Community,
In October of 2011, the City Council and Lancaster County Commissioners adopted an updated Comprehensive Plan for the City and County. LPlan 2040 looks ahead 30 years at how we can accommodate the expected growth in population and jobs in a way that preserves and enhances our quality of life. Click on the thumbnail on this page, or go to "The Plan" tab at the top of this webpage to view or print the Lincoln-Lancaster County 2040 Comprehensive Plan, called "LPlan 2040."
LPlan 2040 is the result of a two year long public process that included a tremendous amount of public input, and the guidance of a 20-person citizen committee called the LPlan Advisory Committee (LPAC). We are very grateful for all of the valuable input the community gave us during this process. You can review the major steps in the development of the Plan and the formal adoption process on "The Process" tab and review the details of LPAC's work on "The Committee" tab under meeting materials.
The development of the new City-County Comprehensive Plan was coordinated with the formulation of a companion document called the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The LRTP is consistent in all its principles and policies with the Transportation chapter of the City-County Comprehensive Plan, but it contains additional detail on finances and project priorities as required by the federal government to maintain our eligibility for federal transportation funds. The LRTP must be adopted by the Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), a separate agency with representation from City, County and State officials. The MPO Officials Committee adopted the 2040 LRTP on December 1, 2011. Click on "The Plan" tab at the top of this webpage to view or print the Adopted LPlan 2040 and 2040 LRTP.
Sincerely,Marvin Krout, Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Director

Buzz: Where The Rick Nash Situation Stands (Update)
Told Carolina keeps coming hard at #CBJ for Rick Nash. Hurricanes are not on Nash's list as of today, but that's not stopping their pursuit.
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) July 2, 2012
3:54PM: According to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch, the Flyers are definitely on Rick Nash's list and are very involved in talks with Columbus. He also notes that losing JVR is not the end of the Flyers' pursuit.
With the Rangers, Portzline writes he can't confirm CBJ are asking for Chris Kreider, Derek Stepan or Ryan McDonagh, but does say many proposals have been thrown around.
He adds that Columbus would trade him to Detroit, but is unclear what their package would be.
On the Sharks, he adds "You just know San Jose is in the weeds. The Sharks have an offer on the table. It could be sweetened."

I understand, to this day I still have problems. However my child is visual and auditory. The "Memorizing Multiplication: The Times Tables", is the absolute best. In one night my fifth grader not only remembered, but could recall the stories and the facts. We began in the third grade with flash cards, games on the computer, drills, and a host of other methods. It seems this is the only thing sticking. I wish I had learned of it sooner. Also oswego.org is a good one.

The Frederic Remington Art Museum recently received a very generous gift from Dr. Ravinder N. Agarwal and Barbara C. Agarwal.
With their recent $25,000 gift, Dr. Ravinder N. Agarwal and Barbara C. Agarwal of Ogdensburg, NY have made a big difference as the Frederic Remington Art Museum nears completion of its 5-year Centennial Campaign. The museum is nearly finished with fundraising for this essential work. The Agarwals chose to give at the end of the project, with the hope that their gift will inspire others to help the museum meet its goal. The campaign has brought in almost $1,500,000. Thanks to the Agarwals generosity, only $50,000 more is needed.
The museum is especially pleased at this timely and significant contribution. It adds to the already impressive local support from individuals, service clubs and businesses, raising the local support amount from $92,500 to $117,500. Much of this local money came through the My Hometown, My Museum campaign, where alumni of Ogdensburg schools were invited to sponsor a brick for $25.
Weather permitting, restoration of the museums original building, the 203 year old Parish Mansion will be complete this fall. Each day, progress by contractor Continental Construction is evident. Now is a great time to take inspiration from the Agarwals generous gift and be a part of the museums success. The newly restored Parish Mansion is expected to be a secure and beautiful home for the museum for the foreseeable future.

Safe and Sound
Keeping Your Web Browser Secure
Okay pop quiz time. It's only one question so this'll be quick. Here we go…
What is a web browser?
Give yourself five seconds to answer, and no asking the kids!
Okay… time's up! Here's the answer.
A web browser is a software program on your computer that allows you to visit websites on the Internet.
Pretty basic, huh? As simple as it seems, that sole function your browser provides makes it the most important tool of your online experience. Think about it: every web page you open has to appear in a web browser for you to see it.
Browser Programs
There are many excellent web browser programs available to download online, all free. Some of the programs most often cited for standout performance include Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Opera. Each prides itself in providing a full web experience, and all of them consistently score high in consumer research studies.
Mozilla Firefox
Praised for its browsing speed and quality security features, it is also easily customizable thanks to the more than 6,000 toolbar add-ons Firefox provides.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8
The most widely used browser today, IE8 offers standout parental controls that can be customized for each member of your family.
Google Chrome
Sizzling browsing speed, excellent security and reliability are three key features cited by Chrome fans. It offers many features and tools and, because it's an "open source" browser, encourages innovation on the part of the user.
Apple Safari
Available for Macs and PCs, Safari is a fast browser (particularly on Apple products) that offers a number of nice-to-have tools, including spell checking, ability to re-size text zones on a site and its unique SnapBack and Top Sites features.
Opera provides fast browsing speeds (at one time, it claimed it was the fastest), as well as an easy-to-use and customizable toolbar. Its standout feature is its interactive voice command tool. You can surf by talking to the browser, and it will even read text to you.
Choosing the Right Browser
All this information does make it a challenge to decide on the right browser for you and your computer equipment. It will come down to personal preference, so don't hesitate to try more than one browser before making your decision. To help you with this, here's the critieria Top TenREVIEWS, an online consumer research site, used for its most recent study of browsers:
- Security
- Features and Tools
- Ease of Use
- Speed and Compatibility with Computer
- Help/Support
Security definitely should be a top consideration when deciding on a web browser. With the large number of threats online, your browser should be designed to protect your machine from Adware, pop–ups, viruses and phishing frauds. It should also allow you to easily and quickly clear personal information and your surfing history. Also, check to see if the program automatically updates itself. Along with stronger performance, each upgrade provides stronger security protection.
Protect Your Browser with Cox Security Suite
As a Cox Internet subscriber, an excellent way to protect your browser is to download the Cox Security Suite program onto your computer. Free for all Cox High Speed Internet subscribers, the Cox Security Suite powered by McAfee® provides leading security features to protect your computer equipment and programs from online threats, helping to ensure a more confident browsing experience for you and your family. One of the security tools in the suite, SiteAdvisor, rates sites and flags potentially dangerous ones before actually going to them. Paying attention and acting on these warnings will go a long way to securing your browser.

Growing the Future: MIXX Awards Judges on Mobile Marketing
Responding to the innovation boom and an increased focus on the burgeoning
mobile revolution, the international IAB MIXX Awards has expanded its mobile
categories this year. IAB President & CEO Randall Rothenberg explained how mobile
is changing the industry in an Adweek interview earlier this year. "There is an
unusual intimacy with mobile—literally a physical intimacy. You're holding, swiping,
pinching ads and content. That represents a real change in user experience and
content and advertising. That requires rethinking," he explained.
In advance of the judging for the MIXX Awards, we asked the judges to share insights on how mobile marketing has developed over the last year.
1. Mobile Integration Across Platforms
It takes a period of experimentation to discover any medium's true capabilities. Agencies and brands alike are finally discovering how versatile mobile can be as a marketing vehicle. Alberto Ferrer (@albertoferrer), Managing Partner, Marketing and Operations at The Vidal Partnership, says he "particularly likes the integration of mobile with other channels−controlling an experience on your computer via your mobile phone, interacting with a video or TV campaign via your phone." MIXX Awards judges Lincoln Bjorkman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, North America, Digitas (@viabjorkman), and Lori Senecal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, kirshenbaum bond senecal (@digitalori), mentioned campaigns such as AMEX Sync with Twitter, which integrates mobile and social, and BMW's Evolve app, which expands the product experience of an electric car for consumers as good examples of work that's out there. Work like this proves that mobile can be successfully integrated with other platforms and unify a campaign.
2. Branded Mobile Apps
MIXX Awards judge Alan Schulman, Vice President, Chief Creative Officer, of SapientNitro NY (@DIGschulman), is particularly interested in the growth of mobile applications that "bring brand messaging and transaction together in 4- 5 simple steps. This is the real opportunity—to bring brand messaging, service platforms, and CRM together in a simple seamless way that yields business results." Andreas Combuechen, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Creative Officer of Atmosphere Proximity, mentioned the Nike Golf 360 app, which brings together golf techniques and Nike attire, as an example of "mobile experiences that are being developed to deliver sales instead of just buzz." Branded Mobile Apps is also one of the new mobile categories for this year's MIXX Awards.
3. The Future of Mobile
We sensed an energy of excitement when we discussed what might be ahead for mobile with our MIXX Awards judges. Benjamin Palmer (@bnjmn), Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Barbarian Group, feels that mobile is "actually where the most movement is. We're in the very early stages of figuring out how we as marketers can do something that's effective for the brands but also appreciated by our audience." Dyshaun Muhammad, Senior Marketing Manager of General Mills (@DMBiteandChew), concurs, adding "mobile is rapidly expanding beyond the ruthless focus on utility to embrace being beautiful and visual." With more interest in mobile than ever before and a newfound flexibility to include form AND function, the future of mobile is powerful.
If you're a mobile advertising innovator or are creating outstanding interactive advertising, be sure to check out the new MIXX Awards categories and submit your entries before our extended entry deadline on July 20!
*These campaign selections are independent of the MIXX Awards competition. They may or may not have been entered in the 2012 program.

Thursday, August 26, 2010Lipscomb middle blocker Alex Kelly has been named as a candidate for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.
She is the second Lipscomb player to be a candidate for the award. Last season softball player Kellie Sirus was on the list.
From the list of 30 candidates, 10 finalists will be selected by a national media committee and announced in mid-October. Fan balloting as well as votes from coaches and media will determine the final winner.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Kelly was the Atlantic Sun Player of the Year for 2009 and 2008. She is a member of the preseason All-Conference Team for 2010.

1lb. blocks of pre-mixed 50/50 combination of Paraffin and Sticky Wax for just the right "crackle" effect on your Batik. Melts at 150 degrees F.Note: Batik Wax no longer comes in it's own foil tray, so you'll need something to melt it in, like a double boiler or some kind of electric pan with a temperature control. Remember, when working with any hot wax, to work in a very well ventilated area and never ever ever heat it hotter than 240º F!
