Google has recently published its Q4 2011 financial results, which were quite a bit below analyst predictions. Although the search giant reported record revenues, the numbers fall $300 million below investors' expectations.
However, the company announced its revenues exceeded the numbers reported in Q3 2011 by almost $1 billion. In fact, for the first time, Google's revenues top $10 billion and the profit increases to $2.71 billion.
In addition, Google published several interesting results concerning its Android operating system. It appears that the number of activated Android devices has passed the 250 million mark, up 50 million since November 2011.
In the same news, Google reported that its Android Market had reached 11 billion downloads, 1 billion up from December 2011.
At this pace, it won't come as a surprise to see other record-breaking numbers being reported by Google in Q1 2012.

Hiya and welcome to my crazy world! I am a married mama with 2 sweet kiddos. I love to laugh, I work A LOT and I LOVE TO RUN!!
I started running at the end of December 2009. My Dad asked me to run the San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon with him. My youngest was 8 months old and I needed something for me. It sounded like a crazy idea but I never turn down a challenge. Without thinking I registered for the race…and then realized I only had 6 months to train for 26.2 miles. I know that seems like plenty of time, but I had never ran further than 1 mile in my entire life!
I figured I should run in a few races to get ready. I signed up for my first race: The San Dieguito Half Marathon. I had 6 weeks to get my butt in gear and I was nervous. I frantically searched the internet on how to start running, bought some shoes and I was off. For some reason it just didn't seem that crazy at the time. In February 2010 I ran my first race in 1:53. It felt like such an accomplishment!
After my first race I was hooked and I haven't looked back! Since then others have joined me!
When my hubby (LD) isn't rocking out on stage he runs:
My Dad runs:
(What a stud!)
My Mom runs:
(Isn't she soooo cute?!?!)
My Sister Runs (and looks very fashionable doing so):
My Brother Runs:
(Sweet beard)
My Sister in Law Runs:
And my best friend even tried it out. She is a crossfitter now :)
I have a lot of ups and downs and love to share them. I still have a long way to go to get where I want to be! Seriously, between 5 am weekday runs, my rockstar hubby, 2 kids and a full time job I still don't know how I do it. One thing is certain: the lord has blessed me in more ways than I ever deserve and am thankful to have a family that supports me.

Get the Secrets to Wealth Today
The High Income Factor has one mission: to help investors generate high income in a low-income world.
With typical savings accounts earning less than one percent and short-term CDs earning not much more, keeping your money in these types of accounts means you are losing ground to inflation each and every year. This means all investors — from those just starting out to those already in retirement — who count on this income to make ends meet each month are in desperate need of a safe and steady income stream.
Fortunately, Tom Hutchinson has created The High Income Factor newsletter specifically to deliver these types of income-generating ideas each and every month. His newsletter looks at the entire investing landscape to identify the most profitable, yet conservative, income opportunities available today.
As a former financial adviser on Wall Street, Tom managed millions of dollars and oversaw the portfolio of thousands of investors. He saw firsthand the greed that permeated the industry, and one day decided to walk away from it all. He knew there was a better way to help intelligent, hard-working Americans get ahead. Thus, The High Income Factor was launched to help anyone who has "ambition, the gumption, and the desire for something better."
The High Income Factor includes high-yield investments that you are very familiar with, such as dividend stocks, corporate bonds, and real estate investment trusts (REITs). But Tom also covers unique income-generating investments such as master-limited partnerships (MLPs), business-development companies (BDCs), as well as capital and income funds.
As a member, you are able to take full advantage of having a Wall Street "insider" working for you each month, delivering exciting opportunities that you won't hear about in the mainstream financial press.
Or to sign up and start putting these high-income plays to work for you today, simply complete the order form below.

Upon graduation from high school, Stephen Davis received a senate appointment to West Point and a Navy ROTC scholarship to Texas A&M. He declined the appointment to West Point because of his preference to serve in the US Marines.
After 2 years at A&M he quit school because he and a friend were running a successful hamburger delivery business and wanted to expand to Houston.
Unable to reach their financial goals after 2 years, they quit and went into corporate America. After 4 years he found that nothing about having a job would ever get him to his family and financial goals.
He then convinced a real estate investor friend that he would run his real estate investor and mentor group in return for being mentored in real estate. Over the next 15 years, their students bought over 300 apartment complexes and over 10,000 single-family houses across the United States.
With the guidance of his mentor and friend, Del Walmsley, Mr. Davis retired from corporate America at age 27 and began a successful career in real estate investing.
While a student at Lifestyles Unlimited, Mr. Davis completed his first deal within 2 months and in an 18 month period purchased 17 multifamily properties (6-40 units).
For the last 15 years, he has helped teach and mentor thousands of Houstonians on how to use real estate to build wealth while focusing on maintaining a balanced life. He has been married for over 20 years and has 2 academically outstanding children aged 16 and 13.
Today, he is a principle in over 3000 units in Houston and builds luxury homes in Galveston. He also volunteers as a mentor at Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc. and hosts the "Lifestyles Unlimited Real Estate Investor Radio Show" in 4 major cities across Texas.

Alleged jihadist arrested for biting FBI agents
Posted By kurtnimmo On January 7, 2011 @ 11:37 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,War on Terror | Comments Disabled
Agence France-Presse
January 7th, 2011
A US man known for posting violent jihadist songs on the Internet was arrested on charges of biting two FBI agents, officials said.
According to a criminal complaint, FBI agents approached Emerson Begolly, 21, while he was sitting alone in the passenger seat of a car in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant in New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
The agents wanted to interview Begolly as part of an unspecified criminal investigation. After the agents identified themselves, Begolly screamed and reached for something they believed was a gun. During a struggle, Begolly bit the two federal agents, drawing blood.

Picture this: You are out for a walk on a sidewalk in Central Denver. Your dog is sniffing, and fixating on squirrels, doing her business, and generally having a jolly good time. Then around the corner comes another dog who is attached by the leash to his owner. Or, in some cases, off leash with the owner nowhere in sight. As the dog approaches, your dog becomes uneasy or starts to bark. The other dog stares at your dog and says hello right in your dog's face. Both dogs are nose-to-nose, attached to their leashes with no way out. They sniff quickly and then start growling and reacting or worse, the strange dog attacks your dog 'for no reason'.
I hear this excuse every day. "The dog just attacked for no reason!". I assure you, rarely do dogs attack for no reason. These two dogs started a defensive argument because both owners let them go face-to-face and feel threatened. It would be similar to if I walked up to you and slapped you across the face as I said hello. In addition, each dog most likely showed several appeasement or 'calming' signals that the humans missed. Calming signals include:
• Lip-Licking• Tongue Flicking
• Blinking
• Head turns
• Yawning
• Sitting
These behaviors are essential in reading a dog's other body language, too. In this case, one or both of the dogs may have stiffened, pinned her ears back, lunged forward, or raised her lip, which could be attributed to fear and insecurity. The best offense is a good defense, especially for an insecure, anxious dog greeting another dog face-to-face. Worse yet, if you let your dog go face-to-face, you are inevitably setting them up to fail. And who wants to do that?
Ideally, dogs should be introduced face-to-butt, rather than face-to-face. Dogs instinctively smell one another's anal region in order to introduce themselves. Humans shake hands, dogs sniff each other's butts. Nice, huh? When they smell, each dog gets a 'picture' of who the other dog is, such as gender, hormone status, health, level of stress or friendliness, and general demeanor. If dogs aren't given the appropriate opportunity to introduce themselves, they can become scared and defensive, and then act aggressively.If your dog is leash reactive or extremely afraid of other dogs, I recommend pursuing professional help. But if your dog just doesn't know how to greet other dogs, or you don't know how to teach him, here are some helpful hints:
• Make sure your dog doesn't have full use of the entire length of the leash. Give him slack but keep him close. Just because the leash is 6-feet long doesn't mean you have to use it.
• Use a head halter or front-clip harness. I prefer the Premier Gentle Leader (wide 5/8" nose-loop for larger dogs) and/or the Easy Walk harness. If it doesn't work, it doesn't fit correctly or your dog is too adrenalized. Every dog hates the Gentle Leader at first. Slow acclimation, positive associations, and proper fit are very important. Do not use leash corrections!
• Avoid allowing your dog to make prolonged eye contact with another dog. Teach a Watch Me command and use it in all different environments and stress levels so your dog will pay attention to you no matter what is going on around him.
• When you see another dog approaching, take a few steps backwards and lure your dog around to face you, or hold your lure (treat or no treat- just give your dog a visual cue) on your belly button. Either allow him to gently lick on the treat while the other dog sniffs, or ask him to sit so the other dog doesn't think your dog is a threat. If he remains calm while being sniffed, praise generously and let him walk away if he wants.
• If you want your dog to sniff the other dog's rear, ask the other dog owner to turn his dog around.
• Never, ever punish, yell, correct, poke, or hit your dog for acting defensively. If your dog is afraid, and you punish her when she acts afraid instead of building her confidence and showing her what you want, she will only become more fearful and associate dogs with punishment. It is much more effective to help her understand good things happen when she is around other dogs, and that you aren't going to set her up to fail by making her go face-to-face with another dog.
• Lastly, if your dog is afraid of other dogs, or doesn't know how to interact, please do not bring him to the dog park. Please do not put a muzzle on your dog and expect him to not feel threatened. Dogs just don't 'get over' being scared if you force socialization. Flooding rarely works, which is why many dogs at the dog parks have aggression issues.** Of course, it depends on which dog park you go to, but a scared dog will still be afraid at a 'good' dog park. Always set your dog up to succeed!!
The process sounds a lot more complicated than it is, but if you manage your dog by turning him around, the other dog will most likely know what to do. Dogs know which end is the good end! The end with eyeballs and teeth is intimidating, but the sniffing end is a wonderland of information to a dog. Next time you have a friendly dog in close proximity, turn your dog around and watch the magic happen. Your dog will thank you. If your dog is aggressive, has bitten another dog, or bitten you trying to get to another dog, please call for professional help as the behavior is a symptom of severe underlying causes. Using this technique before focusing on those causes could make your dog worse.
**"Flooding at dog parks has been used with fearful dogs as an old-school technique to get them over their fear. The process entails taking a fearful dog to a dog park and allowing 20 other dogs to run up assertively, sniff, pounce, growl, bully, lunge, bite etc to 'teach' the fearful dog not to be afraid- or in old school dog training terms, to teach the dog to 'submit'. It is a torturous, scary, awful situation to put a fearful dog in. Some people even put a basket muzzle on the dog so they can't defend themselves, and if the dog growls or reacts badly, the dog is punished for it. In this case, flooding doesn't teach the dog to submit, it makes her more fearful. It teaches her that other dogs are bad and scary, not fun! Flooding doesn't teach a positive association at all. Flooding teaches the dog to suppress the anxiety and fear until he is one-on-one with a dog, and then lash out."

Second of Things Yellow
At 4 ¾" Cammie is bigger than her real counterpart who is no larger than 2.4 cm. H. bargibanti was discovered in 1969 having hitched a ride on a gorgonian. Typical of this species, Cammie has yellow coloration (colors also range to a coral/pink) along with a short, bulbous snout and is covered in knobby tubercles. She is clinging to a bit of seafan with the same type of tubercles where she remains camouflaged.
She has inset glass eyes with an embroidered eyesocket. The body is embellished with lemon coral beads. Due to small parts, this design is best for adult collectors or display only.
An original design by Kelly Lynn Smith

Fishing organisation hits back at Greenpeace claims
Posted: February 06, 2013|
Fishing industry leaders have accused a leading environmental group of "blatant propaganda" and "manipulating statistics" in a row which has erupted over who speaks for most fishermen.
In a new report, Wolf in Shrimps Clothing, Greenpeace say the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisation (NFFO) is a false friend of small-scale fishermen and dominated by foreign interests.
However, NFFO chairman Paul Trebilcock, who is also chief executive of the Cornish Fish Producers' Organisation, the national group's biggest member, rejected the claim as "laughable".
Greenpeace campaigner Ariana Densham said the organisation did not speak for small-scale fishermen – known as the under 10 metre fleet – and did not represent many fishing communities.
"It's clear they're a false friend of the small-scale sector," she said.
"They are trying to maintain a broken system that funnels fishing quota and political influence to the most powerful among their members, and throws the leftovers to small-scale fishermen, who are the lifeblood of the Cornish fishing industry and its more sustainable part," she added.
Greenpeace says that despite NFFO claiming to be the representative body for fishermen, some 57% of the fishing capacity of its members is in the hands of foreign interests – namely Spanish, Dutch, and Icelandic – which control 20 of the 30 biggest vessels registered in the UK, not including Scotland.
However, the NFFO reject that outright, saying currently just 8% of member vessels are owned outside the UK.
Moreover, Mr Trebilcock said that membership of the CFPO was 100% British.
The NFFO says that its membership is mixed between small and large boat owners, with a third of member fishing vessels below 15 metres, and 40% below 10 metres.
Mr Trebilcock said that in Cornwall, where the CFPO is the biggest single contributor to the NFFO, 110 members are from over 10 metre boats and 95 from under 10 metre boats.
"Our membership is a reflection of the diverse nature of the fleet in Cornwall," he said.
"The CFPO is a reflection of the diverse nature of the fleet nationally and the NFFO.
"Greenpeace is guilty of blatant propaganda and they are manipulating the statistics to suit themselves.
"This is an organisation which as calling for a 55% cut of haddock quota in the area.
"This would have crucified the small fleet.
"Fishermen are not stupid and they can choose who will represent them.
"However, the strength of the NFFO is its diversity, with members from the smallest boats to the big boats, and the fact is that it fights for the whole of the UK fishing industry."

There were cheers and smiles at the Jeff Fortenberry camp Tuesday night. After all the votes were in, Fortenberry won the Republican Primary. Now, he will get ready for the General Election. Fortenberry says, "I'm certainly very greatful and very humble. So many have sacrificed and worked so hard on our behalf."
It was humbling for him because it was such a close race. Speaker of the Nebraska Legislature Curt Bromm came in as a close second.
Now, Fortenberry focuses on November. He's getting out the message that he's the man for the job. He says, "We have wonderful things here in Nebraska. People here work hard and have a great tradition of family life. I want to take those values to Washington."

How The Hell Does This Škoda Yeti Trounce An Ariel Atom On Track?
I'll tell you exactly. »
I'll tell you exactly. »
[I maintain my opinion that the Skoda Superb wagon is the best vehicle for a cross continental road trip. It's spacious, comfortable, and you can even sleep in it with your significant other. Simply brilliant.] »
Škoda's Wörthersee concept, put together by 23 young trainees under the watchful eyes of chief designer Jozef Kabaň, is an almost eerily perfect combination of our incomprehensible love of Skoda and our yearning for El Camino-ized anything. »
This is the new Škoda Superb, the cool Czech budget version of VW's big MQB platform. It looks, uh, superb. »
Škoda started making cars in 1905, and while your experience with one of their Soviet-era models might have been on the bitter side, those days are long gone, as Vicky Butler Henderson demonstrates with the first Octavia sedan sporting the Audi TT's engine. »
Skoda is rocking it, and to celebrate, their millionth customer of 2014 - who also happened to be Czech - joined the party with his brand new rally-green metallic Octavia Estate vRS 2.0 TSI. An excellent choice indeed. »
The Skoda Superb 4x4 V6 Laurin & Klement wagon is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It's also the best value executive car on the European market. And yes, it's bigger than your A6. »
Who says you need a super-powerful AWD monster and a bunch of high-budget explosions to make a good Gymkhana video? This guy ripped it in an old Škoda. »
The third-generation Skoda Fabia is here, and now it's lower and wider with sharper edges all around to make it look sportier. And since Skoda won't be building a vRS version, I guess it's up to us to turn it into something fast. »
When I told a guy from VW that I think the Octavia RS is a better car than a Golf GTI, he replied "a much better car." How did the Czech version of this popular Volkswagen platform become the best version? »
Do you want to witness sheer, unbridled driving skill? Behold, this Škoda 1203 jumping at speed. »
In Europe, this would be categorized as a compact MPV. I asked my educated colleagues what they thought, and now, I ask you. »
[ŠKODA will be sending a strong trio along the enchanting roads of this year's Silvretta Classic. A newly restored 440 'Spartak' from 1957 will be on the starting line, alongside a ŠKODA Felicia from 1961 and a ŠKODA 1101 Tudor built in 1948. This year will mark the 17th occasion of the Silvretta Classic, taking place… »
[It's brown and it's a wagon, but instead of being a diesel with a stick shift, it has a 3.6 V6 FSI sending 260 horsepower to all corners through a DSG gearbox. What would you like to know? I'll make sure to investigate.] »
The Skoda Yeti is basically a Golf wearing rock climbing shoes that offers more space and slightly better value since it doesn't have a VW badge. But is America missing out on not getting Volkswagen's Czech family car? »
Skoda is celebrating the 40th birthday of its RS performance brand, which all started with this: The 1974 200 RS, built to compete in top-class rallying. »
Skoda is bringing a sweet "Xtreme" version of the Yeti SUV to Volkswagen's big gathering in Wörthersee, which harkens to those wild 90's beach car concepts we lusted after on cereal boxes. Don't let your RAV4 hang around it or she'll come home with a Gatorade-green tramp stamp tattoo. »
Today for your moment of squeeeeee we bring you the ultimate in Czech adorableness. The Skoda CitiJet is our favorite Czech automaker's concept for VW's Worthersee festival, and it makes that Seat Cupster look like a pile of puke. »

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Two halves and a pair of 10-minute overtime periods weren't enough to determine a winner Sunday as the University of Wisconsin women's soccer team garnered its first draw of the season, playing the Ohio State Buckeyes to a 0-0 tie at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
"I told the players before the game that it's really challenging to play at Minnesota on Thursday, drive until 3 in the morning and have to turn around and play a really good Ohio State team after losing an emotional game three days before," head coach Paula Wilkins said. "I think it's tough physically -- it's definitely hard emotionally -- and I'm really happy they were able to battle it out and play for 110 minutes."
The Badgers (7-4-1, 1-3-1 Big Ten) saw a wealth of opportunities fall through the cracks, as UW attempted all seven of its corner kicks in the second half, tallying seven shots alone in the final 45 minutes of action.
Junior GK Genevieve Richard got the start in net for Wisconsin, tallying a career-high six saves on 15 shots from the Buckeyes. Richard's solid outing included a pair of highlight saves in potential goal-scoring situations for the Buckeyes, who remained aggressive offensively throughout the entire 110 minutes of play.
"I thought [Genevieve] was really consistent," Wilkins said. "She did a really good job of coming off of her line and coming into her own, and made two very good saves in the game to keep us within contention."
Wisconsin threatened to score multiple times in the first half, recording three shots, including a potential game-winner from Monica Lam-Feist just before the intermission. But its most promising chances at a goal came on its corner kick opportunities in the final half of regulation.
The flow of the game switched in the Badgers' favor in the second half, as the Buckeyes (7-4-1, 2-2-1) spent the majority of their time in Wisconsin's offensive zone. Ohio State defended all seven of UW's corner kicks well, as the play typically resulted in a clear for the Buckeyes.
"Obviously disappointed in not getting a result here," Wilkins said. "I thought we got some great looks at goal in the second half and kept Ohio State pretty much playing in our half of the field."
Both teams scrambled to earn the golden goal in the final overtime period, but neither was able to generate much offense, as each tallied a shot and did not attempt a single corner kick in the final 10 minutes.
Wisconsin returns to the pitch on Friday, Oct.5, as the Badgers welcome the Nebraska Cornhuskers to the McClimon Complex for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
"Again, we need to be stronger in the final third but very happy in getting the shutout," Wilkins said. "Even though we didn't get the results here and gain those three points we definitely have some things to build on before Nebraska on Friday."

By Caelin Briggs, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Caelin Briggs is an advocate at Refugees International. The views expressed are the writer's own.
Two years ago today, South Sudan gained independence from Khartoum, becoming in the process the world's youngest country. The Sudan People's Liberation Army, which today is South Sudan's national army, was then just a group of rebels, fighting in the mountains and deserts for sovereignty for their people. But this independence day, many South Sudanese aren't cheering the SPLA – they are running from it.
Reports of abuses by government soldiers in Jonglei State have streamed in during recent weeks, adding to a long list of major human rights violations since 2011. The time has come for South Sudan's foreign backers to force major changes to the nation's military. If they do not, then the SPLA could destroy the very country it helped create.
A month ago, I traveled with my colleagues from Refugees International to Jonglei State and met with some of those who had just fled their homes after SPLA attacks. Between January and June of this year, soldiers allegedly burned down hundreds of homes, looted and destroyed property belonging to Medicines Sans Frontieres and other aid groups, displacing tens of thousands of people across the state.
Some suggest the motivations behind the violence are likely a mix of absent or insufficient pay for SPLA soldiers, ethnic animosity, and a perception that the civilians in the area are anti-government due to their ethnicity and assumed support for an opposition group operating in the area.
More from CNN: South Sudan's lost boy
Regardless, one man, an older amputee from Pibor town, described the fear of being left behind as his family fled. "I was alone for two weeks before I managed to escape," he said. "My family ran to the bush, but because of my leg I knew I couldn't keep up." Like hundreds of others, the man hid in his home waiting for a chance to flee, and hoping that the marauding soldiers going door-to-door wouldn't find him.
Now, the South Sudanese government has reportedly cut off access to 150,000 people at the epicenter of the violence, Pibor and Pochalla counties, prompting fears that the SPLA could be committing massive abuses without anyone even knowing. Even peacekeepers from the U.N. Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) have been barred from patrolling in the affected areas.
The United States was eager to see the rule of Sudanese president and International Criminal Court indictee Omar Al Bashir weakened, and between 2006 and 2012 it provided some $30 million in military technical assistance to the SPLA each year, according to a former envoy to Sudan under the George W. Bush administration.
But with money should come responsibility, and here the U.S. has let South Sudan down. The United States and the U.N. should have helped shepherd these soldiers into their new role, and held them accountable if and when they misbehaved. Western expectations that the SPLA's ragtag rebels would transition seamlessly into a professional military were unrealistic.
Now, with the SPLA on the rampage in Jonglei State, the time has come for a new approach. The U.S. may have been the SPLA's closest ally in its battle for freedom, but it should not allow nostalgia to weaken its response to ongoing abuses. There is no doubt that the recent attacks on civilians and denial of access in Jonglei are violations of international humanitarian law, and to continue to ignore the SPLA's atrocities – and the apparent complicity of the South Sudanese officials in Juba – is to imply consent.
Instead, the United States should make it clear to South Sudan that these human rights violations and attacks on civilians are unacceptable. To do this, Washington should withhold a portion of its non-emergency foreign assistance until the government begins holding soldiers accountable for abuses. As the largest supplier of aid to South Sudan, the U.S. has the leverage to bring about this type of positive change – it simply needs to use it.
U.N. Security Council members, both collectively and independently, must also press South Sudan to give the Red Cross, aid groups, and peacekeepers unimpeded access to Jonglei. They should remind Juba that it is bound not only by the Geneva Conventions, but also a Status of Forces agreement with the U.N. Mission in South Sudan that allows peacekeepers to travel anywhere in the country without government permission or authorization.
South Sudan has a long road ahead of it, but ignoring the SPLA's ongoing abuses helps no one. It will be much easier to address these challenges now, rather than waiting until human rights violations have become an accepted practice. The U.S. and the United Nations must step up and begin showing South Sudan the tough love it badly needs.
It looks like South Sudan is heading the way of Congo Kinshasa!!.
They were already running from Sudan itself, so where else can they turn?
There's little enthusiasm to celebrate South Sudan's second anniversary of independence. The country is marked by wide spread human rights abuses and awash with corruption. The government has failed its own people and been repeating the mistakes of previous rulers before independence – a painful experience yet also a valuable lesson.
Bullcrap .. Arabs are still killing Africans
Withholding funding seems like the obviously right thing to do. Has anyone asked why we haven't already done that?
The author must be an agent of Arabs in Khartoum sent to distort and destroy the reputation of South Sudan. The aim is to make South Sudan appear as a failed state and the UN staffs, and human right groups go home with big pay checks. I live in South sudan and this article is baseless and incurrate at all levels. These human rights groups are the number one Enemies of South Sudan.
Just stay out of it! Stop wasting taxpayer money.

Northport has no answers
for hot-shooting Redskins
Wellpinit (16-5) can out firing on all cylinders last Saturday night in the championship game of the Panorama Tournament at Kettle Falls Middle School.
The Redskins dominated inside and outside against cold-shooting Northport (17-3), bolting to a 21-7 first quarter lead and stretching that to 43-14 at halftime.
Game, set match.
Northport managed to outscore Wellpinit 15-11 in the third quarter, but the Runnin' Redskins outscored NHS 19-5 in the fourth quarter.
This game bore absolutely no resemblance to the escape Wellpinit had to make just days earlier in a narrow road win over the Mustangs.
Greg Wynecoop hit nine of 13 from the field and scored 18 points to go with 14 rebounds. Brodie Ford added 16 more for Wellpinit, who heads into this week's Northeast District 1B Tournament as top seed.
Northport was led by Freddie Verghaeghe's 12 points. Jeremiah Johnson added nine for NHS.
Wellpinit will open the tournament with a first round game at home Tuesday night (6 p.m.) against the winner of the Wilbur-Creston (5-14) vs. Columbia (5-14) game on Monday night.
Northport, the Panorama League's second seed, will host Odessa-Harrington (12-8) on Tuesday night at 6 p.m.
In the game for third and fourth seeds earlier Saturday afternoon at Kettle Falls, Cusick (10-11) beat Selkirk (9-13) 70-53 behind Alec Bluff's 19 points.
Bluff was 15 of 18 at the free throw line.
Marshall Rankin added 12 points for Cusick, who claimed the third seed to the district tournament and will open Tuesday at Almira/Coulee-Hartline (17-3). Game time is 6 p.m.
Selkirk draws Bi-County 1B champion Valley Christian (17-2) in their road opener on Tuesday (6 p.m.).
Dominic Cain led Selkirk with 15 points.
The double elimination tournament will continue for the boys on Saturday with first round winner's games and loser-out contests.

UNDATED (CNN) -- The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings had his first appearance before a judge Monday and has been charged. No cameras were allowed in the room, but a transcript of the hearing has been released.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, seriously wounded and heavily sedated, appeared before a us magistrate judge in his room at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital.
Despite his condition, he answered questions by nodding his head.
Here is part of the conversation, "The Court: If at any time I say something you do not understand, interrupt me and say so; is that clear? Defendant: (Nods Affirmative)."
The 19-year old is charged with using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death. He is also charged with one count of malicious destruction of property by means of an explosive device resulting in death.
According to the transcript, the only time he spoke during the hearing was when the judge asked if he could afford a lawyer. Here's how that part of the conversation went, "The Court: Can you afford a lawyer. Defendant: No. The Court: Let the record reflect that I believe the defendant has said, No."
A public defender was appointed to represent Tsarnaev. Before calling a recess, the judge found Tsarnaev aware and coherent of what was going on. The transcript says, "The Court: At this time, at the conclusion of the initial appearance, I find that the defendant is alert, mentally competent and lucid. He is award of the nature of the proceedings."
The judge presiding over the hearing has scheduled a probable cause hearing for May 30.
