LINCOLN — In the third chapter of the budding Thanksgiving rivalry between neighboring municipalities, Central Falls High snagged a 27-22 non-league victory over Lincoln before 300 fans at Ferguson Field on Wednesday night.
Following this most entertaining game, Warriors' coach Mo Jackson – in his grid coaching finale – addressed the players from both squads at midfield, and awarded a new tradition, the Game MVP trophy in the shape of a mini-Heisman, to Lions' junior running back Cory Gaskell.
In turn, Lincoln head coach Dave Waycott issued the same to CF senior quad-captain and fullback/linebacker Kenny Lopez.
"We knew coming in this would be a tough game, and it was; I have to give a lot of credit to Lincoln and it's coaching staff," Jackson said after his club closed the campaign at 4-7 overall (3-5 in D-IV). On a day like today, the final game dictates how hard the game was fought. (To the Lions), you guys are winners, and a class act."
As for the contest itself, senior quarterback Brandon Canuto not only completed seven of 15 passes for 129 yards and three touchdowns, but also ran for 73 more on nine carries – in the first half alone as CF built an early 21-0 cushion.
Warriors' senior James McGuire recovered a bloop opening kickoff at the Lions' 37, and Canuto needed only four plays to hook up with McGuire in the left section of
the end zone. Canuto's PAT boot split the uprights, and CF held a 7-0 cushion just 46 ticks into the first.
On its next drive, Jackson's crew maneuvered 66 yards on nine snaps ending on Canuto's eight-yard scoring toss to sophomore end Malik Velazquez, but junior quin-captain Giovanni Gray blocked the signal caller's PAT.
The Warriors made it 21-0 after senior Raven Roque snatched a fumble from Gaskell at the Lincoln 49. Eight plays later, Canuto hit Velzquez again on a 17-yard TD route in the left portion of the end zone, then threw to senior Kris Interiano for the two-point conversion.
Lions' senior Johnny Galang picked off a Canuto offering at their own 37, then masterfully directed a nine-snap drive culminating on his five-yard aerial to Chris Kimball, and that's how the half ended, at 21-8.
In the third period, Waycott's entourage took its initial possession 51 yards on another nine plays, that closing on Galang's one-yard sneak off left tackle, but fellow Lincoln captain Osei-lie Saine's rush failed.
CF led, 21-14.
It looked as if the Lions would maneuver for another score as it drove to midfield, but Lopez recovered a Galang fumble. On the next snap, Canuto rolled left and hit McGuire on a 50-yard TD toss to give the Warriors a 27-14 cushion with 2:21 left in the third.
A nine-yard CF punt led to Lincoln's final score, that coming on a one-yard plunge by Gaskell with 3:12 remaining in regulation. Senior Alex O'Hara tacked on the two-point conversion, taking a sweep around right end, but Jackson and Co. worked the clock, driving 18 yards, to finish the contest.
Lincoln (0-10, 0-8 in D-III) didn't win a game, but Waycott praised his club during his post-game speech.
"That easily was our best game of the season," he noted. "You guys should be proud of yourselves, because we (as a coaching staff) sure are."

Setting the record straight: competition in search
Search is about helping people find the right answers to their questions when and where they need them. We work hard every day to figure out the most useful results for our users, and we're working to create new and better ways to answer your questions. We know that if we don't give users the best results, people can and will switch to another search engine.
And while we're always happy to have feedback about how we can improve, it's more useful if that feedback is based on facts. In today's Wall Street Journal, the CEO of comparison shopping site Nextag makes several claims that are wrong -- or suggests that Google start doing things that we already do. Let me set the record straight:
Claim: "Most people believe that when they type "convection microwave oven" or "biking shorts" into Google, they will receive a list of the most relevant sites. Not true. That's how Google used to work. Now, when someone searches for these items, the most prominent results are displayed because companies paid Google for that privilege."
Fact: Let me be very clear: our unpaid, natural search results are never influenced by payment. Our algorithms rank results based only on what the most relevant answers are for users -- which might be a direct answer or a competitor's website. Our ads and commercial experiences are clearly labeled and distinct from the unpaid results, and we recently announced new improvements to labeling of shopping results. This is in contrast to most comparison shopping sites, which receive payment from merchants but often don't clearly label search results as being influenced by payment.
Claim: "It's easy to see when Google makes changes to its algorithms that effectively punish its competitors, including us."
Fact: As we've said many times before, we built search to help users, not websites. We don't make changes to our algorithms to hurt competitors. We make more than 500 changes a year (each one scientifically evaluated) in order to deliver the most useful results for our users - and we now publish a monthly list of algorithm improvements. Every one of those changes moves some websites up and some sites down in the rankings, but the most important thing is that users are happy with the results.
Claim: "[Google] has used its position to bend the rules to help maintain its online supremacy, including the use of sophisticated algorithms weighted in favor of its own products and services at the expense of search results that are truly most relevant."
Fact: Our algorithms are always designed to give users the most relevant results -- and sometimes the best result isn't a website, but a map, a weather forecast, a fact, a quick answer, or specialized image, shopping, flight, or movie results. And that's not just Google; Bing, Yahoo and other search engines do the same thing.
Claim: "Google should provide consumers with access to the unbiased search results it was once known for—regardless of which company or organization owns the service. It should also allow users to reduce the number of ads shown or incorporate a user's preferred services in search results.
Fact: All major search engines -- including Bing and Yahoo -- long ago evolved beyond the simple "ten blue links," and we believe that our users are often best served by providing better answers directly in search results. And if users don't like our results, they can try Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, or even Google Minus Google.
Claim: "Google should grant all companies equal access to advertising opportunities regardless of whether they are considered a competitor."
Fact: We don't prohibit competitors from advertising on Google -- in fact, many of our largest advertisers are also competitors. Our auction-based advertising system, which takes into account relevance and bids, is designed to provide a level playing field on which placement is not automatically awarded to the highest bidder.
Claim: "In addition, Google often uses its prime real estate to promote its own (often less relevant and inferior) products and services..."
Fact: It's understandable that every website believes that it is the best, and wants to rank at the top of Google results. The great thing about the openness of the Internet is that if users don't find our results relevant and useful, they can easily navigate to Nextag, Amazon, Yelp, Bing or any other website.
There has never been as much choice online as there is today. Over the last few years, we've faced competition from new players, including social networks, mobile apps, and specialty search sites. All that competition is a great thing for consumers, it gives you more choices and makes us work hard to deliver you even more relevant answers, day after day.

But first doing the Panda update which along with "link farms" definitely hurt most of the Comparison Shopping Engines also and now releasing Google Shopping with paid only links definitely looks like it is taking away business from CSEs, its not a level playing field anymore!ReplyDelete
So, this could basically be summed up as "Google will do what ever it likes because Bing exists."ReplyDelete
Good for you Google. Don't stand for this sort of slanderReplyDelete
It's about time Google set the record straight. Google Search just doesn't bring you links. Google Search answers your question, making Search an even more powerful tool.ReplyDelete
About time Google hit back at the lamestream media.ReplyDelete
This is why i prefer Google when it comes to Search. They are always the best.ReplyDelete
His claims could easily be paraphrased as: 'I'd like our site to be featured high on Google regardless to merit, and I'll generalise my absurd claims as to try and hide how convoluted my demands are'.ReplyDelete
I think Google should ignore these clearly baiting and "trollish" claims - even if they were published on the WSJ - and for once and for all establish that no one has any right to get indexed by Google let alone any claim on being featured in the search results, and refuse any restriction on the evolution and improvement of Google search especially to aid these falsely entitles "competitors".
As usual, "Another SE is just a ckick away". I.e., "Like it or lump it."ReplyDelete
This false nostalgia about Google used to be better has got to stop. Today's Google is better than it has ever been.ReplyDelete
I think with more products and services google starts to roll out, it is directly competing with revenue streams of other companies/sites - and search being so ubiquitous, its neutrality and intent is always questioned.ReplyDelete
Google often uses its prime real estate to promote its own (often less relevant and inferior) products and servicesReplyDelete
Wow wow wow Read that again. Complaining about how Google uses space on its own domain name. God forbid they be allowed to control their own website. Like they said, Google does not force anyone to visit Google.com! It's amazing how fair & open Google is given their popularity -- in fact the main reason for their popularity is their open, fair, and highly desired results.
Get it through your head NextTag -- you might not be happy with your position on Google, but it is influenced by whether users want to go there! Focus on making your product better, not complaining about what someone else does on their own website.
Why does everyone else think they kniwbhiw Google search should be operated? If those people truly have the best solution they start their own search engine or apply it to the they already own. Its sad to see the greatest nation in the world reduced to whining children and sore losers.ReplyDelete
Google does not allow competitors to advertise in all units. In particular, CSEs are forbidden from participating in product ads.ReplyDelete
It potentially could be argued that this decision is for the user, but Google should at least acknowledge the issue. It's disingenuous to claim that Jeffrey Katz is misinformed on this one.
Google also has not made the claim that showing shopping links for shopping terms is made as a pro-user unbiased algorithmic decision. Arguing that the organic blue links are not influenced by economics is beside the point and sneaky misdirection, assuming that the shopping links are promoted over those blue links in order to drive Google revenue.
I'm actually on Google's side in this debate. But I do find it frustrating that they can't come out and talk to Google's users as the intelligent adults we are.
Google Search is a service that provides an opinion of Internet destination relevance. If people thought their opinion was too tainted, they would go elsewhere.ReplyDelete
Google Search is not a tangible product where they have cornered the market to where people do not have the option of going elsewhere. If browsers across the world only allowed Google Search, then there would be an argument.
Say it with me naysayers. Google is providing an opinion.
The only market Google has cornered is having a darn fine opinion that most everyone wants. When Google's results are bad I go over to Bing... where they tend to be worse - so I come back.
What an idiot. I can't believe that WSJ let the CEO of a company write slander against their competition in their paper. I have lot respect for their 'journalism.'ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I've had sites hurt by recent updates and Google is on my s#!t list these days but I would stand with the big G in defense against some of the preposterous statements in the article. The one that I found particularly grievous was when he said that results have changed to favor certain commercial interests ("Not so anymore," he writes at one point). Google has always had ads (okay, since 2002 or thereabouts) and Google has never provided much favor to commercial sites in its organic listings. It's a badly written piece that I'm surprised was published by such a respected publication and I'm also surprised you took time out of your busy life to deal with this, Amit. It's too bad... you could have spent that time further tweaking the algorithm instead.ReplyDelete
As google expands its product offering it will encroach into other segments. This is very much like Microsoft(google) bundling IE(google placement vs competitors) in Windows(Google search results) and killing Netscape ( small guys like Nextag) .ReplyDelete
It will appear as monopolistic,whether they like it or not
A company wants to promote their products? BLASPHEMY!ReplyDelete
A company provides a service for the users, not competitors? OUTRAGEOUS!
Users reading this that don't like Google: You don't have to use this service. It is a SERVICE. Not a requirement.
I am too am glad that Google did set the record straight. How WSJ could let this CEO make such untrue and ill-informed claims is beyond me.ReplyDelete
But, IMO, the user experience is everything. I don't know about you but try looking for say a Sony Nex-5f on Google or nextag.com. Nextag.com interface though similar to Google's is plain annoying with the constant movement of the banner adds and ajax reloads.
Google's approach is clean, easy to read and less intrusive on one peripheral vision when looking at the page.
When looking at nextag.com I feel like I am driving in a cab in Las Vegas.
Instead of trying to disseminate blatant untruths, this CEO should focus on making a better user experience on his site instead of making every white space area a revenue source.
Simply put Google SERPS for pricing comparison is a better resource than Nextag
Time to stop bitching and get to work!!!!
But vertigo, I, and pretty much any user I know, don't WANT CSE's when searching in google. If I do, i'll add, comparison prices to my search, and I'll get them.ReplyDelete
I almost fell of my chair when I read "Google is for users, not for websites". WRONG. Let me make this perfectly clear. The webmasters of the world make Google great. Without our great content you are nothing. We could easily block the Google crawler in robots.txt and let the competitors in (except for maybe our home pages let's not get too rash). Then suddenly Google's competitors have the best content exclusively. So there you go. It's not a monopoly. The webmasters decide if Google is allowed to index our content or not. If we keep getting attacked, maybe it's not in our best interest to let you index us anymore.ReplyDelete
@ Grant LOL, Yeah and don't count on being a "webmaster" much longer when no one cant find your site because you blocked it from Google. Your argument is so ridiculous I had to take time out of my day to let you know. What a brain storm you had... If their was no content or internet than Google would not exist, wow deep thinking like that surely has helped you obtain an impressive medal collection I am sureReplyDelete
I just read the WSJ piece and was appalled that no one fact checked it before they released it. I would expect more from the WSJ than that. But I applaud Google for this response. I'm an SEO and have seen first hand how the old tricks don't work anymore and how much effort Google is putting forth to clean their results. If you look at Nextag's link profile you'll notice how they've purchases sites to point to their own. On second glance when you look at Nextag what's the value? All I see are ads and thin content for their shopping comparisons. I understand Katz's frustrations because it's felt throughout the industry but Google's been warning sites like your's for a very very long time and they've finally acted upon it with the latest Penguin and Panda updates.ReplyDelete
People needs to stop crying and start competing. If you want more search traffic then get to work.ReplyDelete
Algorithms are people, my friend.ReplyDelete
But seriously, the reason sites like NexTag were hit is because most people simply don't like seeing those results when they're shopping for something.
Personally, I want to see real stores and maybe some forum posts with real people discussing the product. If I want a price comparison site, I'll actually search for price comparisons.
People who believe Google is out to get them will never feel compelled to make the changes required to be more appealing to human beings.
@t0dbld my point simply is Google needs the world's websites and so they really shouldn't disrespect us. Of course it wouldn't make a difference if a handful of people block Google out. But if they think they don't need us, I would love to see what happens if a million or so websites with solid content decided to do it. We could take the power back real quick. You don't have the guts to do it. I understand.ReplyDelete
Amazing how determined these trolls are at smearing Google; Not a month passes by without somebody whining "Google should just remain a "search engine"ReplyDelete
This will be the last time I post to Google's policy Blog.ReplyDelete
I think Google is huge so they get attacked.ReplyDelete
My website, http://wordunscrambler.com has been left unharmed by all the Google updates.
I know businesses that are selling stuff will have it tougher as Google shows more ads at the top and not just the right side.
But it is Google's search engine, that is just how it is.
I'd like to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this site. I really hope to see the same high-grade blog posts by you in the future as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my own, personal website now ;ReplyDelete
People use google by choice. No one is forcing users to come to google. User base would start declining once the is a real bias.ReplyDelete
In any case, nextag - shut the fuck up. You will not get traffic by these cheap tactics.
Perhaps Nextag should stop complaining that they can't compete unless Google tip the field in their favour and instead they should make their own innovative search engine or tie in with Bing. And help Microsoft get people to actually use it.ReplyDelete
Yeesh, this isn't like Microsoft where people were forced to buy a PC with Windows, if you don't like Google, don't use it!
I have always used Google since I( started on the net and it will take a lot of convincing for me to use anything else. Bing and Yahoo never bring me the results the way they should be. I also like the way Google answers the questions I pose to it.ReplyDelete

The public examples we see are too often less-than-humble leaders who make public excuses for bad situations. The reaction of many federal government personnel after recent high-profile scandals and questionable decisions are examples, but this situation crosses political lines and presidential administrations, and it is not solely a government problem. Very often these same leaders also take public credit for good situations, but they can't have it both ways. Leaders are accountable for the good and the bad. Unfortunately, we don't typically see leaders taking full responsibility for bad situations while avoiding credit when things go right, attributes associated with genuine humility and personal accountability.
We have to do a better job of teaching this quality. Military leadership training often focuses on war heroes and leadership in combat. These are wonderful examples, but sailors need to lead in everyday situations, not in the heat of battle. They will face great personal triumph and defeat in relatively passive situations; they will be held responsible for the actions of their sailors they could have never imagined; they will be tested in ways most civilians would not believe.
What sailors need are more authentic examples of humble leaders who take responsibility for failure and refuse credit for success. We have leaders like this throughout the Fleet, but they are seldom rewarded sufficiently and are not adequately held up as examples. Instead our focus is too often on making examples of poor leaders and followers by publically condemning their mistakes yet not holding their seniors accountable.
It's the positive leadership examples we need to see in the press and that leadership courses should highlight. This will help eliminate the need to teach future leaders that, while they can delegate authority when appropriate, they can never delegate accountability. We need to act with an honest belief that leaders must willingly accept and embrace this concept to truly lead.
Our actions must portray a sincere dedication to the goal of ultimate accountability among our leaders. We have to enable them to fix problems and not accept their attempts to fix blame.

What travelers to Port Dickson are saying
The Port Dickson Rundown
Deliberately developed beach destinations provide predictable, no muss, no fuss holidays to a specific brand of tourist. Enter Port Dickson, Malaysia's exceptionally calculated resort area in the state of Negeri Sembilan. In a very real sense, "PD" (Malaysia's penchant for place-name acronyms extends even here), is a prototype and foremost sign of a pugnacious push by the federal government to lure upwardly-mobile tourists from the UK and Singapore for long-term stays.
The meticulous strategy has all the hallmarks of other attempts to seduce weary middle- and upper-middle class tourists with the opiate, siren call of package holiday bliss. The incessant popularity of the Algarve, Costa del Sol and, to some extent, Bali, owes much to the dependable formula. Build it - on the coast, of course - and they will probably come. This, in a sense, is the story of Port Dickson.
That Port Dickson is only 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and 60 minutes from the commercial capital is, of course, no coincidence. Proximity to KL has been PD's secret sauce for quite some time. Under British rule, the town was a base of tin ore export that eventually grew in popularity as a convenient refuge for colonial officials. The coast was summarily built up to practical extinction by the late 1980s. Thanks in no small part to the Asian financial crisis, subsequent plans to resuscitate the moribund area came and went in fits and starts. With the recent help of powerful foreign investors, however, Port Dickson is now the veritable crown jewel in the "Malaysia My Second Home" Ministry of Tourism programme. As a no-nonsense, straightforward beach resort close to KL then, Port Dickson is a safe bet for some.
Port Dickson's Top 10
|10. Muzium Tentera Darat Port Dickson is a vital army town in Malaysia - there is even a movement under way to hyphenate the name as such. The Muzium Tentera Darat, or Army Museum, chronicles the military legacy of the area.
|5. Negeri Sembilan State Museum is 30 km from Port Dickson, in state capital Seremban.
|9. Tuluk Kemang Mini Zoo is the only zoo in Port Dickson.
|4. Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium, also in Seremban, draws well over 20,000 strong for Malaysia Super League football.
|8. Kota Lukut, or Fort Lukut, was a mid-19th century stronghold built to protect the tin ore trade.
|3. Port Dickson Night Market attempts, sometimes successfully, to re-create the inherent appeal of spontaneous urban night markets in a purpose-built, tourist-designated zone.
|7. Pengkalan Kempas Historical Complex, or Fort Kempas, was similarly erected to safeguard commercial interests in the turbulent colonial era.
|2. Cape Rachardo (Tanjung Tuan) Long before the British were in Malaysia, the Portuguese mapped the coast extensively, from Melaka to Thailand. A lighthouse at Cape Rachardo is a reminder of those exploratory efforts and stands as the oldest in the country. On a clear day, the coastline of Sumatra is visible across the straits.
|6. Tuluk Kemang Ostrich Farm is, for some, a welcome distraction from the beach.
|1. Blue Lagoon is a scenic coastal enclave some 15 km from Port Dickson proper. Popular with water sports enthusiasts.

Port Dickson Local
Port Dickson is not a city, or town, per se, but a beach resort area with 18 km of coastline from Tanjung Tuan (Cape Rachardo) to Tanjung Gemuk (Fat Cape). The coast has been heavily developed in recent years to offer tourists a wide range of accommodation options, from cheap rental apartments and beach bungalows to luxury above-water chalets.
Port Dickson Eat & Drink
Hotels and resorts in Port Dickson offer the usual variety of cuisine, from typical Malaysian and Western, to Chinese and Indian classics. The vast majority of restaurants line Jalan Patai, the main Port Dickson drag.
|Weng Yin Seafood Village is a reliable seafood bet. Open until 1 a.m.
|Restoran Kal Hoe has cold beer and prepares seafood Chinese-style.
|El Cactus Bistro and Bar is popular for generous portions of Tex-Mex, American and British food.
|Restoran Kemang Seafood lures big crowds of diners, especially on weekends and public holidays.
|Coconut Grove is one of the most popular restaurants in Port Dickson. The menu is international and the al fresco atmosphere persuasive.
|Anna Thai is part of the Tiara Beach Resort complex.
|Restoran Pantai Ria serves affordable, family-style Malaysian-Chinese fare in a no-frills environment.
|Dixon Coffee House is part of the Delta Paradise Lagoon Hotel complex.
|Tino's provides a pizza and pasta fix, with a few Malaysian staples thrown in for good measure.
|Kedai Kopi Pak Lang serves Chinese cuisine in a convivial room off the coast.
Port Dickson Events
If you pore over government and Ministry of Tourism press releases from the past decade, it seems every effort is being made to lure a wide variety of domestic and international events to the Port Dickson area. Here are a few of the most notable thusfar.
The Port Dickson International Triathlon brings the ultimate in endurance tests to the Negeri Sembilan coast in late July.
Port Dickson Festival celebrates the coastal charms of the resort area with five days of events in late March at Dataran Teluk Kemang.
Tourism Malaysia sponsors the Malaysia Water Festival every late April and early May in Port Dickson. Inherent beachside events range from jetski races to paintball.
The Admiral Marina & Leisure Club has held music and other festivals in years past.
When To Go
While Port Dickson is a popular holiday destination throughout the year, the months of March, April, October and November experience abundant precipitation. As a result, monsoon rains can dampen enjoyment of beach areas in particular.
As is the case with equatorial climates, temperatures in Port Dickson generally hold between 73°F (23°C) and 90°F (32°C) for the year. The tropical heat and humidity is noticeably more tolerable on the coast than inland.
Getting Around
Via the efficient North-South Expressway, the drive to Port Dickson from Kuala Lumpur takes about one hour. Seremban and Melaka/Malacca City are within easy range as well. Singapore is 320 km away.
There is a ferry connection between Port Dickson and Dumai, Sumatra, Indonesia.
Bus service is availalble from most major destinations in Malaysia. Taxi service is abundant and reliable throughout the Port Dickson resort area.
What To Miss
In order to ensure a holiday free of surprises, prospective visitors to Port Dickson need to manage expectations and abandon any illusions of what the destination is and is not. While the primary tourist drag offers some ostensibly unspoilt coastal areas, PD is far from pristine. Rampant industrial activity and real estate development has led to abhorrent chemical and waste levels in the water and, moreover, the wholesale depletion of fish stocks. If the unassailable environmental degradation of the area makes it difficult to suspend disbelief and bliss out, you may want to look elsewhere for affordable beach holiday fun.

McDermott Earns Top Preseason Honor as Men's Basketball Picked Third
Villanova edged St. John's for fourth place with 58 points. The Wildcats were 20-14 overall and 10-8 in the BIG EAST last season. They earned an NCAA Tournament bid for the eighth time in the last nine years. Forward JayVaughn Pinkston and guard Ryan Arcidiacono figure to be the leaders of head coach Jay Wright's club.
St. John's received two first-place votes and finished fifth in the poll with 56 points. The Red Storm's 2012-13 season ended in the second round of the NIT. Coach Steve Lavin welcomes back sophomore forward JaKarr Sampson, who was the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year. Chris Obekpa, another freshman, led the nation in blocked shots.
Providence is tabbed for sixth. Last year, the Friars played in the postseason for the first time since 2009. With two wins in the NIT, head coach Ed Cooley helped PC get their first postseason victories since 2003. This season, the Friars return sharpshooting guard Bryce Cotton, who led the BIG EAST in scoring with a 19.7 average in all games and 18.3 in league play.
Xavier was placed seventh in the poll. The Musketeers are coming off a 17-14 season under head coach Chris Mack who will depend on guard Semaj Christon, a sophomore who was the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year after averaging 15.2 points. His assist total of 139 set a school record for a freshman. He has earned Preseason All-BIG EAST First Team honors.
Seton Hall finished eighth in the poll. The Pirates expect Fuquan Edwin to lead an ascent in the standings. Edwin is one of the top all-around players in the BIG EAST. The 6-6 wing was named Preseason All-BIG EAST Second Team by the coaches. He averaged 16.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 steals.
Butler, chosen for ninth, is coming off another NCAA season. The Bulldogs are led by new head coach Brandon Miller, who played and was an assistant coach at Butler. The Bulldogs have a streak of eight straight 20-win seasons, including a 27-9 campaign last year, and have been ranked in the top 10 five of the last seven seasons. Their top returnee is senior forward Khyle Marshall.
DePaul is 10th, but has the dynamic duo of forward Cleveland Melvin and guard Brandon Young, both seniors. Young was sixth in the BIG EAST in scoring with 16.7 mark and Melvin was seventh at 16.6. They were the highest scoring pair in the league.

A Massena licensed practical nurse and a Potsdam pharmacist face disciplinary action from the state Education Departments Office of the Professions for misconduct.
According to the state departments website, Moriah K. Crosby, Massena, agreed to a two-year stay suspension, two years probation and a $250 fine for admitting her unauthorized use of prescription medication while at work. Lawrence R. Wheelock, Potsdam, will surrender his license because he admitted to second-degree forgery.
While the website did not provide specifics regarding either matter, it showed Mr. Wheelock faced license suspension and probation in 2002, when he was located in Endicott, after he had admitted to being convicted of petit larceny twice.

Lesson Three: Houses 7 to 12
Houses 7 to 9
Last week
we explored the meaning of the first six houses, and it is worth pausing for
a moment to consider the relationship between the first six houses and the
remaining six houses. Every chart is divided by the angles into two sets of
hemispheres. The first six houses lie under the horizon, which means that they
are under the earth when we are born, hidden from view. They are the houses
of self-exploration, describing our subjective, internal worlds. The natural
rulers of the first six houses are personal planets, with Mars ruling the 1st,
to Venus ruling the 2nd, and so on to Mercury (3rd), Moon (4th), Sun (5th)
and finally back to Mercury again, which is the natural ruler of the 6th house.
The point about this is that, in order to engage successfully and creatively
with houses 7 to 12, the collective houses which describe how we relate to
others and to the world around us, we need to be able to build on and draw
from the personal resources, self-development and self-knowledge we have achieved
in the personal houses.
For example, successful adult-to-adult relationships (7th house) depend upon our having a good sense of our own identity, on our ability to decide what is right for us personally (1st house). Nor can we safely surrender to the emotional depths of intense encounter with another (8th house) until we have a sense of our own personal stability, self-worth, security, and enough personal 'ballast' to support us (2nd house). Nor can we make any sense of or gain any benefit from higher education, philosophy travel, teachers or experiences outside our ken (9th house) until we have learned to process information and order our thoughts (3rd house). Nor can we take our place effectively in the world (10th house) until we have a stable enough base from which to operate (4th house). Nor can we make a meaningful or creative contribution to the society in which we live (11th house) until we have something of personal value to offer (5th house). Nor is it appropriate to retire from the world (12th house) until we have mastered its demands (6th house). Otherwise we would be turning our back on the world and trying to get straight back into the womb.
In this sense, the houses tell the story of our gradual sequential development and maturation, and it is worth taking this into consideration when we are interpreting charts. There is always a temptation to live our lives backwards, and on some level I think we all try to do this, to some extent, until the world teaches us otherwise. For example, we tend to start out from a narcissistic position in which we assume that the world owes us a living and expect it to accommodate our every wish (12th house), paying no attention to the actual practical realities or to the way in which we might serve or contribute to the world (6th house). Or we might expect the community or society to which we belong (11th house) to recognise and accept and include us immediately, without us having to go to the trouble of developing our own particular talents, or discovering the unique and special contributions we can make to the group (5th house). Or we might expect the world to provide us with a job, or a public platform, or respect and influence in the world (10th house) before we have built an inner sense of security and stability for ourselves (4th house). Or we might expect exciting opportunities and adventures to open up for us (9th house) without bothering to prepare or learn anything about them beforehand (3rd house), or we might give our power to others (8th house) and end up feeling used and abused because we haven't established a sense of personal security and self-worth (2nd house). Finally, we might seek to find ourselves solely through our partner (7th house) without getting to know ourselves first. These descriptions may sound rather harsh, but hopefully you can see what I am getting at. Can you see how these opposite areas of activity are intimately connected and, in fact, dependent upon each other?
Audience: Actually, this sounds fairly realistic to me. I suspect we all instinctively take the second route around the chart but, as you say, life teaches us otherwise. It seems that life is meant to be difficult.
7th house: relating (Libra house - natural ruler Venus)
The cusp
of the 7th house is also the Descendant, and we will be looking in more detail
at the Ascendant-Descendant axis next week. The 7th house describes all one-to-one
relationships of a contractual nature, such as business partnerships and marriage.
It is the house of equal, negotiated relationships, and describes what we meet
through others and how we find ourselves through such relationships. Traditionally,
this is also the house of open enemies, so it is the battlefield on which we
meet our equal opposites.
Although we usually recognise that the first six houses belong to us, the 7th and 8th houses almost invariably seem to describe the qualities belonging to those with whom we are in relationship. It is very difficult indeed to recognise ourselves in these two houses. In the 7th and 8th houses it is no longer us, it is 'them'. The 7th and 8th houses describe the qualities we draw towards us, and we find these particularly hard to identify with. Ultimately, however, they do tell us more about ourselves than about others, although it seems that we can only learn these things about ourselves through our relationships. Ultimately, our task is to recognise that these two houses tell us more about ourselves than about those with whom we are in relationship. With Saturn in the 7th house, for example, we may find that our partner is boring, withholding, critical and heavy. However, if we move on to another relationship, then before long our new partner will start to become boring, withholding, critical and heavy. Eventually we may realise that there is a pattern and that this may have something to do with us. This is often a very difficult realisation, because with Saturn in the 7th it is possible that we are afraid of relationships, and that we have made our choice based on our need for safety and security. It may be that we can only enter into relationships cautiously or formally, wearing our protective armour, which eventually becomes rigid and prevents our continued growth and development - something for which we then blame our partner.
Audience: I have Venus and Uranus conjunct in Gemini in the 7th house, and I would say that I recognise that as belonging to me, and always have. I have always been the disruptive one in relationships.
Clare: So what would you say that you value about relationships, with Venus conjunct Uranus?
Audience: Freedom and space.
Clare: I wonder if this is something of a two-edged sword, because it may hark back to early experiences of being abandoned by loved ones. It is possible that you may expect your partners to leave you in the end, so you break off the relationships before they can do so, and take the blame yourself. Where the 7th house is concerned, there is always the question of 'who is doing what to whom'. But with this placement, relationships don't necessarily need to end in separation. It may be possible to negotiate enough space and freedom within a relationship, or a real friendship in which each of you respects the other as individuals and adults, so that neither of you feels trapped.
Audience: Well, I have certainly always taken the blame for breaking off from relationships in the past. And I do see that it would be nice to find this kind of space within a relationship.
Audience: I have Jupiter in the 7th.
Clare: With Jupiter in the 7th house, we are often attracted to people
from different cultures or religions, or to people we feel we can learn from,
because they expand our horizons.
Audience: I have Mars and Neptune and Saturn there. Saturn and Neptune are in Libra, and Mars is in Scorpio.
Clare: Well, what we could say first of all is that relationships are a big area for you.
Audience: Yes.
Clare: Saturn in the 7th indicates that relationships are a serious issue for you, and you are unlikely to enter into them lightly. Many of your most important lessons will be learned through relationships. With Neptune in the 7th, you are likely to idealise your partner. There can be a fantasy about finding a perfect partner, someone who will redeem and rescue you, or someone you can rescue. The same thing happens when Pisces is on the Descendant. On the one hand we can accept our partner uncritically, exactly as they are, but on the other hand we can be deluded, and end up feeling disappointed or betrayed or let down. And Neptune is where we are always thirsty, where we always want more, so we will long for the perfect, ideal other who exists in our dreams, and feel dissatisfied with the ordinary mortal we end up with. On some level it is we ourselves who are unavailable for relationship. The dilemma with Saturn and Neptune in the 7th house is that they are opposites, in the sense that Saturn has strong boundaries and Neptune has no boundaries. So do you stick with the reality or hold out for your dream?
Audience: Does this also mean that we sacrifice ourselves for our partner?
Clare: Yes, that can be one interpretation, although we are unlikely to realise that this is what we are doing, as long as we are tied up in the fantasy of perfect love. With Mars in Scorpio in the 7th house, we are likely to attract intense relationships and power struggles. So there is a combination of the romance and idealisation of the Neptune in Libra generation, the hard work indicated by Saturn, and the sexual intensity and passion of Mars in Scorpio.
Audience: Well, I did say it was complicated. I certainly find it very hard.
8th house: sharing (Scorpio house - personal ruler Mars, collective ruler Pluto)
The 8th
house is where we meet with intense emotional experiences and encounters which
change us forever. The natural Scorpio house, the 8th house is where we are
confronted by inherited issues and secrets which lie deep beneath the surface
and which are often taboo, or which most of us would prefer not to look at
all. Our 8th house inheritance is not just about hidden personal or family
issues, but extends to our inheritance of unresolved issues and old poisons
which exist in our society and in the collective generally. If we have planets
in the 8th house, then at some point in our lives we will be impelled - forced
- to engage with and to purge whatever has become corrupt or poisonous about
them. Our task appears to be to bring the issues associated with these planets
to the light, so that they can be cleansed and healed. I often advise students
to knock carefully before entering the 8th house. The reason for this is that
8th house issues can be so deeply buried in the unconscious that our clients
may have no idea they are there, so I think the astrologer therefore needs
to tread very carefully.
The 8th house describes the most primitive, archaic emotions which lie quietly under the surface until they are activated. When planets in the 8th house are active, they are volcanic, unstoppable forces that take us over and possess us. This is the house of sex, death, taxes and joint finances, where hidden emotions come to the surface, often shocking us with their intensity.
Audience: I have Mercury, Uranus, and Sun in Leo, and Venus and Pluto in Virgo, and they are all in the 8th house. And Leo is the sign on the 8th house cusp.
Clare: Right. So the ruler of the 8th house is in the 8th house. Now I am assuming that, because you have offered your own 8th house as an example, you have opened the door for us and we are allowed to enter?
Audience: Yes, you can enter. Uranus and the Sun are together, and Pluto and Venus are together, but Mercury is by itself.
Clare: With five planets in the 8th house, no doubt the underworld is familiar territory to you. It is your home. Let's start by looking just at Mercury in the 8th house. It is like having a Pluto-Mercury contact, which means very deep, penetrating, intense, and secretive or private ideas and thoughts. This is the investigative mind - you need to get to the root of things, to understand what is not being said or communicated, to read the signs. The 8th house is very deep but non-verbal, so it works on the level of intuition and emotion. It could even say something about your siblings, because Mercury is also the natural significator for brothers and sisters, so it might be a particularly intense relationship with a brother or sister. With the Sun and Uranus in Leo in the 8th house, you will feel compelled to plumb the depths of understanding and use your insight to bring new knowledge to the surface. This configuration is about bringing things from the dark, where they are hidden, into the light, into the open air. This is the seat of your creativity and your unique gift.
Audience: In fact I am bringing things from the dark into the light
all the time, because I am a midwife.
Clare: Well, it seems that you are in exactly the right profession, because you are dealing with life and death issues, and Leo is the sign of the child, of new life and potential. You have the ability to be both detached and scientific, with the Sun-Uranus connection, but I suspect that you are also strongly guided by your intuition and by your instinctive understanding of medicine and healing, which is also an 8th house matter. The Venus-Pluto connection describes your love of intensity and your function as a powerful woman working with women who are going through profound and often terrifying and painful experiences. With so many planets in the 8th house, you will be wonderful in a crisis. That is when you come into your own and into your power.
Your work is a wonderful expression of these 8th house planets, and no doubt there are more personal issues here as well, which will concern your relationship with your father. Sun-Uranus can describe a distant father, and you may have feelings of abandonment around him, although there will be a strong psychic connection between you because it is in the 8th house. And the Venus-Pluto connection in the 8th house can describe your sexual power as a woman, and issues about power and powerlessness in relationships, so there are many other personal levels of meaning here which are probably best explored in a private setting.
9th house: seeking (Sagittarius House - natural ruler Jupiter)
The 9th
house is the house of god, and describes what we believe in, what is meaningful
to us, and how and where we draw meaning from life. It is a Sagittarius house,
ruled by Jupiter, so the 9th house describes how we broaden our horizons, either
physically through travelling and having contact with different cultures, or
mentally and intellectually through higher education and our philosophy of
life - seeking the bigger picture - or spiritually, by finding a god we can
serve and who serves us. On a mundane level, it can describe our experiences
of higher learning, or of groups devoted to spiritual or philosophical exploration.
Whatever specific shape this takes, what we are really doing in the 9th house
is searching for wisdom and meaning in order to find out what we believe in.
It is about what makes life worth living, not just in the personal sense, from
a 5th house point of view, but in the context of the bigger picture.
Saturn in the 9th house can, like every planet, be interpreted on a variety of different levels. It might mean, for example, that we were denied the opportunity to go to university, or that we studied structural engineering at university. It may mean that we have never been abroad because we are afraid of travelling outside our immediate environment, or that our work is a 9th house matter, so we might be a travel agent or a tour rep. And it is likely that, if we have one at all, our god is rather strict and demanding. It will be hard work to build our 9th house and it may take a long time, but we will build on rock. So we might end up going to university in our fifties, or eventually finding our own faith based on real experience of the world.
Audience: I have Saturn in the 9th house, and I find it very difficult to have faith.
Clare: In my experience, with Saturn in the 9th we often feel as if our god lays down the law and demands strict obedience if we are to avoid being punished. This can lead to a kind of cynicism and to periods in the wilderness, where we may feel utterly unsupported and alone on a spiritual level. With Uranus in the 9th house, on the other hand, we might have studied science or politics at university, and we could have unexpected experiences and encounters, or sudden insights when we are travelling abroad. We may be seeking enlightenment, or our god may be rational, highly intellectual, or egalitarian, so we may be a Quaker or belong to a non-denominational church.
Audience: I have Neptune in my 9th house.
Clare: With Neptune here, you are likely to have a longing to merge with god, seeking a mystical union in which you are in god and god is in you. And you may have studied music or dance at university, or spent periods of time abroad in ashrams or on retreats. But, unless you are travelling by boat or ship, there may be problems when you are travelling.
Audience: Why do you say that?
Clare: Because it is possible that you will encounter confusion and chaos. Or your luggage might get lost, or your reservations turn out not to have been made, or your passport and money might get stolen - that sort of thing.
Audience: I have travelled around the world without any problems. The only thing is that other people always let you down - they can't be trusted.
Clare: Perhaps you have projected your Neptune, in which case it will be evoked in the shape of other people when you are travelling.

OGDENSBURG The city will need to continue to deal with climbing expenses and some notably large overdue bills as it makes its way through 2013.
As for 2012, it was not a stellar year by any stretch. according to City Comptroller Philip A. Cosmo. In 2012, we treaded water.
In his year-end report to City Manager John M. Pinkerton, the comptroller made it clear that the citys financial backdrop remains unsettling.
I think we need to try to maintain a healthy fund balance and provide those essential services that the taxpayers have come to expect, Mr. Cosmo said. This is made somewhat difficult during these tough economic times and will require the administration and the City Council to make some hard decisions over the next few years.
High on the list of concerns is the idled Tubroburg LLC kosher cheese plant at 30 Main St. It has more than $1 million in liabilities to the city, including more than $444,000 in sewer fees, $423,000 in water fees and an estimated $200,000 in back taxes.
Those numbers could go higher.
The city and Tubroburg are entering the fourth year of a legal battle in state Supreme Court in Canton. The city claims it is owed not only the back charges, but rent that is part of an agreement to buy the building. Turboburg claims it has been overcharged and seeking $10 million, according to the companys attorney, David T. Antonucci of Watertown.
The case is progressing to a courtroom showdown.
Eventually, theres going to be a trial, said Andrew W. Silver, the citys attorney.
Another area of concern, Mr. Cosmo said, is the cogeneration plant on the grounds of the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center. It owes the city $517,947 in back taxes, of which $218,990 is being sought at a tax sale on June 23.
If we end up with that property, we will have serious concerns, Mr. Cosmo said.
In other highlights from the year-end report:
n Sales tax: The city collected $88,028 more than the $2,612,900 that was budgeted.
n Health care costs: In 2012, they continued to climb and bust the budget. Last years bills totaled $2,652,388, which was $152,320 over the $2,500,068 the city budgeted.
n Fire department: It ended the year with a negative balance of $69,885 as several firefighters preferred overtime to time off as compensation.
n Police department: There was $241,259 left over in its 2012 budget, a savings due to vacant positions.

Five Key Tips: What To Do Before Starting a Contingent Workforce Program
Last week's CWS summit clarified a few things for those in the contingent workforce management space. One big take-away for me was that one size does not fit all. There is no right or wrong recipe. But there are some ingredients that have to be taken into account or the meal can be a disaster.
The experts on my panel – ESPN's Peggy O'Neill, McAfee's Ariane Pannell, BNP Paribas's Jo Ann Cohen and Bartech's Penny Queller — discussed what you should and should not put in place so the program flourishes. Five key observations from they had to say:
Don't Ignore
1. Motives behind why you are implementing a program. Regardless of whether it is cost savings, risk mitigation, quality or efficiency, your goals will determine how you structure, run it and ultimately determine its success.
2. The need for an executive sponsor. In fact, having more than one would be the smart way to proceed. These are the folks that will give you mandate, support your mission and lay down the law when required. And if one executive leaves, you still have the backing of the other.
3. Your constituents & the change management process. Supportive leaders in business units and hiring managers can provide ongoing reinforcement and smooth the inevitable bumps in the road toward implementation. Stay in touch and create a process that communicates these fluctuations to your internal stakeholders.
4. The requirements around a VMS. It may seem strange to start thinking of a tool even before you implement a CW program, but our experts say it's critical. The tool is what provides the visibility both into the spend and the temps in your buildings.
5. Building those fundamental relationships with your vendors. The VMS/MSP providers and your supply base are the drivers of your program. Communicating and understanding their requirements will buy you both goodwill and their desire to work with you.

Hamburg's extensive public transport system consists of the U-Bahn (subway), the S-Bahn (suburban train), buses and harbour ferries, and makes getting around without a car pleasurable and easy. The U-Bahn is excellent and serves the whole city centre; it connects with the S-Bahn that services the suburbs, and this train network is the fastest way to get around the city. Buses are also convenient and night buses operate in the downtown area. Taxis are generally less expensive than in other German cities and are available at all hours. It is possible to hire a car but parking in some areas of the city, like the famous Reeperbahn, is extremely difficult to find and makes driving stressful. Like most cities in Germany it is possible to hire bicycles at very little cost and this is a fun way to get around. Parts of the city are best explored on foot and it is generally considered a safe city, but it is worth taking good care of your possessions when walking and using public transport.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the Saturday before the last Sunday in April).
220 volts, 50Hz. European-style two-pin plugs are standard.
The unit of currency is the Euro (EUR), divided into 100 cents. ATMs and exchange bureaux are widely available. The major credit cards are becoming more widely accepted in large shops, hotels and restaurants, although Germans themselves prefer to carry cash. The quickest and most convenient way to change money is to obtain cash from one of the ATM machines that are ubiquitous features on all German streets. Banks are closed on weekends, but exchange bureaux at airports and main railway stations are open daily.
The international access code for Germany is +49. Telephone numbers in Germany can range from four to nine digits. There are surcharges on international calls made from hotels; it is often cheaper to use public telephone boxes in post offices, which use phone cards. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns.

Hamburg has an oceanic climate which means that it is a fairly wet and windy city, with prevailing westerly winds blowing in moist air from the North Sea. Summers are warm but rainy, with occasional and brief dry, sunny spells. Winters are cold, sometimes chilling to 28ºF (-2ºC) or below in January, the coldest month, when the Elbe and lakes in the city centre have been known to freeze enough for ice-skating. Snowfall is usually light and Hamburg generally only experiences one or two heavy snowfalls a year, starting in early December, with icy sleet being the more common form of winter precipitation. Spring is very pleasant in Hamburg, when the city's thousands of trees come into bloom with a new cloak of green and days start to warm up after the dreary winter. In fact, despite summer being the most popular period for tourism, spring is the best time to visit Hamburg, not least of all because it is the season which shows off the city's numerous parks and gardens to their best advantage. Summer can be delightful, and there are many events to be enjoyed in the hottest months, but attractions can also get very crowded and everything is more expensive.
Hamburg Airport is accessible by S-Bahn which is a 25-minute journey from central station at a normal fare. Buses service the city centre and other suburban areas. Taxis are readily available outside all terminals; they take around 30 minutes to the city centre.
Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Budget, National and Sixt are all represented in Terminal 2.
Taxis are readily available outside all terminals, they take around 30 minutes to the city centre.
The terminals are connected and both can be explored on foot.
There are several restaurants, shops, bars and cafes throughout the airport, as well as banks, currency exchange and ATMs in Terminals 1 and 2. There is wifi access in all terminals. Disabled facilities are good; passengers with special needs should contact their airline in advance.
Short-term parking is charged at about €1 every 20 minutes up to €22 (P1 and P2) or €25 (P4 and P5) per day. Long-term parking is charged at between €70 and €150 per week.
Wifi access is free for the first hour; thereafter it's charged with a nominal fee.
