42 Tasting Notes
Delicious. I buy an (overpriced) mate tea on campus, but I found the perfect substitute! I make this iced, btw. I brew according to the package (or sometimes I just carelessly steep it), if you steep it longer it has a delicious earthy mate flavour. I add some agave sometimes to make it the "iced tea" drink I like, but it's delicious without the sweetener. I just prefer this cold. ;)

Rick Echkardt sits in the repair shop at Badland Motorcycle Products in Sparks. Eckhardt, who is the president of the Northern Nevada Conferderation of Clubs, will be lobbying the Nevada Legislature to approve a lane-splitting bill for motorcycles.
- Filed Under
Nevada could become the first state in the nation to allow motorcyclists to legally drive between two lanes of traffic.
The maneuver, known as lane splitting, is currently illegal in 49 states. It has been unofficially permitted in California for decades, with no law specifically allowing or prohibiting the practice. An attempt to legalize it in Arizona was vetoed by Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, in 2010.
Supporters argue lane splitting reduces the likelihood of a motorcycle hitting a car in front, and vice versa, especially in heavy traffic. Detractors argue lane splitting is ...

'DA thinks Western Cape is for whites only'Comment on this story
Johannesburg - Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille's reference to Eastern Cape pupils who flocked to the Western Cape for a better education as refugees was "inhumane", the Eastern Cape ANC said on Saturday.
"This... inhumane statement coupled with unfair labelling against school children studying in the Western Cape are further testament to the fact that the DA thinks Western Cape is a place for whites only," provincial spokesman Mlibo Qoboshiyane said in a statement.
"If there has ever been a need for proof that the liberation struggle for freedom in South Africa was incomplete, this must be one such."
The DA leader sparked a war on social networking sight Twitter on Tuesday as many users were angered by her use of the word "refugee".
However, Zille remained firm and defended herself throughout the day.
Her statement was in reference to a protest in Grabouw over overcrowding at a local school.
The DA shifted the blame to the department of public works' continuous delays in approving alternative land to build additional school buildings in the area.
Qoboshiyane said Zille's comments were inspired by "her narrow attempt to score cheap political points".
"Zille ignored the fact that there are more people from the Eastern Cape relocating to provinces like Gauteng, Kwa-Zulu Natal and Mpumalanga. This they do because they are free to do so," he said.
"We are glad that this latest statement evinces Zille's true colours, which are contrary to her false claims that they embraced Comrade Nelson Mandela's views."
On Wednesday African National Congress national spokesman Jackson Mthembu said Zille's comment was "racist" and should not be tolerated.
"Zille's racist statement underpins the DA's policy of exclusionism of blacks," he said.
"She will never say the same thing about whites who relocate from one area of the country to the Western Cape or even those who relocate from other countries to the Western Cape." - Sapa

Thursday, May 5, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
LOCUST GROVE -- Somewhere at the bottom of the pile -- that wild, incredible pile of joy and wonderment that sprung onto the diamond and just took on a life of its own -- was Katie Lewis.
"I was at the bottom, and I didn't care. It was the best feeling ever,'' Lewis said. "Some were laughing. Some were crying...It was the best, the best feeling ever.''
That's what it felt like and tasted like for Darton's softball team, a group that had grown so close over the season that was fitting they would be in a jubilant dog-pile at the end, one player atop another in this moshpit of celebration.
Families should be this close.
That's what they said after winning the Region XVII Tournament on Sunday, a gutsy, nail-biting, 2-1, victory against Georgia Perimeter that gave Darton the state title and sends the Lady Cavaliers to the NJCAA College Softball World Series in Utah.
"We're a family,'' said Brittny Dennison, whose solo home run in the fourth gave the Lady Cavaliers a 2-1 lead they refused to give back. "To tell you the truth, we had more talent last year, but last year's team didn't have the chemistry or the mindset. This team is pretty special.
"When we won it we were all just hugging and laughing and crying and a little of everything,'' she said.
Just like a family.
Dennison, a Lee County grad who was The Herald's Player of the Year when she was in high school, said she had never hit a bigger home run, or a better one.
Once the ball sailed over the left field wall and Darton was up 2-1, coach David Dews, who has had two aces on the mound all year, went to Lewis.
"I knew what I had to do,'' she said. "I had to shut them down for three innings, and my teammates had my back.'
They did.
Lewis slammed the door on Perimeter and ended it with a strikeout.
Then pandemonium broke out on the diamond.
"I just ran to my first baseman Brook Tomlin, because she was the closet one to me,'' said Lewis, who allowed just two hits. "We we hugging and laughing for joy. Then everyone came running and started piling on.
"I've never had a feeling like that before,'' she said. "In high school I always wanted to win a state title, but never did, but this is even better because we are a family, and that's what makes this so special. We're family and this is the best feeling ever.''
The Darton family is the reason Dennison was in the lineup. She wasn't going to play this season because of a torn labrum in her right arm, her throwing arm. The plan was to have surgery and sit out a year.
"I changed my mind and put off the surgery because I just knew this was going to be a special season,'' Dennison said. "I'm glad I did.''
The surgery was scheduled for Wednesday, but now that Darton is headed to Utah with a chance to win a national title, that will have to wait.
"I'm a sophomore and I'm going to Georgia Southwestern next year,'' Dennison said. "It takes six-to-eight months to recover, so if I had surgery on Wednesday I could be ready by next January.''
But GSW coach Eddie Ward showed up for the Region XVII Tournament this weekend.
"He came by the hotel after Saturday's game, and told me to put off the surgery because if we went to the World Series. He said I might never get a chance like this again.''
Tell the surgeon to wait, Dennison and her Darton family are headed for Utah, and they will show up with a 47-9 record.
"I think we've got as good a chance as anyone,'' said Dews, who is taking his second team to the College Softball World Series in four years. "I think our pitching is a little better on this team than the one we had two years ago.''
Cara Law, who started the title game Sunday, and Lewis have been lights out all year, and give Darton a 1-2 punch on the mound. That combo was more than enough on Sunday as two runs was just enough to win it all.
Darton scored in the third when Tomlin ripped an RBI single to center to bring in Jordan Cole, who reached on a fielder's choice and moved to second on Chantelle Curinton's single.
Then came Dennison's eighth homer of the year, a two-out, two-strike shot to left that sailed just far enough to land Darton in Utah.
"I didn't now it was a home run until I got to second base,'' Dennison said. "I was at second when I saw my third base coach (Sam White) and heard the crowd yelling. That's when I knew it was a home run.''
But Dennison knew this team was one for the ages long before that, back before the season started when all they had was hope and each other. That's still what they have at Darton, where the family still has each other and the hope is moving on to Utah and the World Series and a chance at a national title.
"I'm excited and I'm nervous,'' Lewis said about the prospect of winning a national title. "We all stuck together to get this far. When we were in the pile and we all laughing and crying, I was at the bottom of the pile, thinking all of our hard work had paid off.
"We still have one more thing to accomplish..."

SILVERSTONE, June 29th, 2013 (F1Plus / Rosie Baillie) - Formula 1's silly season kicked off early on Thursday morning when Mark Webber announced he would be leaving Formula 1 at the end of the year. The popular choice for his replacement at the moment is Kimi Raikkonen.
The 2007 World Champion will find himself out of a contract at the end of the year and Red Bull have admitted that they are considering the Finn.
Eric Boullier however is hoping that he will choose to stay with the team. Boullier said, "He knows what he has with us" but ultimately "Kimi will decide what he wants to do. He will decide what's best for him."
Since joining Lotus at the beginning of 2012, Kimi has done wonders for the team, which did not have a particularly good year in 2011 after they were forced to replace Robert Kubica, who was seriously injured in a rally incident before the start of the season.
Last year Raikkonen helped Lotus to fourth place in the Constructors Championship even though teammate Romain Grosjean had 7 DNF's.
Boullier is confident that Kimi is "happy with what he has" and commented that the team are "talking with him and seeking ... understanding of where we go."
If the former World Champion does decide to leave the team it could put Lotus in a tricky position as Grosjean is yet to show that he has the ability to lead a team the same way Raikkonen does.
On the other hand, Kimi is known as a man of few words and the number of PR days Red Bull have to do could be off-putting, although if Red Bull want him badly enough he may be able to negotiate the number of events he's expected to do.
Red Bull are planning to make a decision later in the summer so Lotus only have a few weeks to encourage Raikkonen to stay with the team for the 2014 season.

Robust Control Toolbox™ provides functions, blocks, and an app for analyzing and tuning control systems for performance and robustness. You can create uncertain models by combining nominal dynamics with uncertain elements, such as uncertain parameters or unmodeled dynamics. You can analyze the impact of plant model uncertainty on control system performance and identify worst-case combinations of uncertain elements. H-infinity and mu-synthesis techniques let you design controllers that maximize robust stability and performance.
The toolbox automatically tunes both SISO and MIMO controllers. These can include decentralized, fixed-structure controllers with multiple tunable blocks spanning multiple feedback loops. The toolbox lets you tune one controller against a set of plant models or against a plant model with parametric uncertainty. You can also tune gain-scheduled controllers and specify multiple tuning objectives, such as reference tracking, disturbance rejection, stability margins, and closed-loop pole locations.

Citigroup cuts more jobs - reportComment on this story
New York -
US bank Citigroup has cut between 200 and 300 additional jobs, most in the global markets business, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.
Some of the employees were fired, while others left voluntarily. Among them was Steve Prince, the younger brother of former chief executive Charles Prince, according to the newspaper.
Prince's LinkedIn profile says he is a senior vice-president for marketing and advertising.
The cuts account for about two percent of the global markets business, it added, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Citigroup refused to comment on the report.
"We continue to tightly manage expenses, making targeted headcount reductions in light of current market conditions," spokeswoman Danielle Romero-Apsilos said in a statement.
"At the same time, we are adding some talent strategically, leveraging our unique global footprint to serve our clients."
The layoffs come as Citigroup cuts expenses in its business units as the banking industry adjusts to new regulation and loan demand.
On Friday, JP Morgan reported that trading revenue dropped 17 percent in the first quarter, a trend Citigroup has warned it could follow.
Late last year, Citigroup had 251 000 employees, a far cry from its 323 000 employees in late 2008 at the height of the financial crisis. - Sapa-AFP

- Crush together the garlic cloves and 1 tsp salt using a pestle and mortar. Add the herbs, lemon zest, cinnamon, some black pepper, crush a little more, then stir through 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Using a sharp knife, create lots of holes all over the lamb, and rub in the paste, pushing it deep into the holes. Transfer the lamb to a large food bag, pour in the lemon juice and marinate overnight.
- The next day, take the lamb out of the fridge 1 hr before you want to cook it. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Lay 2 long pieces of baking parchment on top of 2 long pieces of foil – one widthways, the other lengthways to form a cross. Pop the potatoes in the centre of the parchment and toss with the remaining oil and some seasoning. Bring up the sides of the foil, then pour the marinade from the lamb over the potatoes and throw in the bay leaves. Set the lamb on top of the potatoes and scrunch the foil together tightly to completely enclose the lamb. Lift into a roasting tin and roast in the oven for 4½ hrs until very tender.
- Remove tin from the oven and increase the temperature to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unwrap the parcel and scrunch the foil and parchment under the rim of the tin, baste the lamb with the juices and return to the oven for a further 20 mins until browned. Remove the lamb from the tin, wrap in foil and rest. Turn the potatoes over and return to the oven for 30 mins, then season with salt.
- While the potatoes are cooking, stir together all the ingredients for the yogurt. Combine the red wine vinegar, oil and some seasoning to make a dressing for the salad. Toss together the remaining salad ingredients, adding the dressing when you're ready to eat. Serve the lamb with the potatoes and meaty juices, with the salad and yogurt on the side.

Comments, questions and tips
Sausage 21 asked what to do with the leftover lamb.
In the past I have reheated the lamb, finely chopped some tomatoes, shredded lettuce, made humus although I have bought that sometimes. When the lamb has been reheated, I shredded it and then toasted pitta bread to make pockets for the salad, shredded lamb and humus. It is absolutely delicious and one of my (grown up) sons prefers it to the actual full blown Kleftiko meal which in itself is a wonderful discovery
Ive made this a couple of times with half a shoulder and works devine for a family of 4. I dont even peel the spuds! Cutting the time down by blasting at high heat at first. Lots of flavour and leaves more time on a Sunday to do the rest of the chores. Makes a change from the usual traditional roast.
Calling all people who want to impress their guests with very little effort! What a wonderful recipe this is, we had this for Mothers Day lunch and it was lovely to put everything into the oven and forget about it! The mint dip was glorious too.
The only thing I would do differently is to take some of the juices which the potatoes are sat in and baste the lamb before I covered it with foil to rest.
What can I say? Absolutely the best lamb I have ever tasted! I bought a half leg of lamb at my local superstore and asked the butcher to bone it and tie it for me. I followed the recipe almost to the letter but reduced the garlic and lemon by half. I cooked it with the potatoes in my fan oven at 130 C for four and a half hours and then 200 C for 30 minutes. My only problem was that the potatoes didn't crisp up enough. In future I may take these out earlier and cook in my upper oven for slightly longer at 200 C. This was definitely a winner with the family and can't wait to impress friends with it!
I was only doing a 1lb lamb shank so I knocked the cooking time down by an hour. I also only marinated mine for about an hour and it was still great - am excited to try it with a proper overnight one.
If only it was feasible to always cook roast potatoes for several hours with a bit of lamb on top - totally delicious!
What did I do wrong? The recipe sounded delicious but it didn't work for me. The flavours were too strong, the potatoes over lemony. My guess is that I had one of those odd tasting lemons that turn up sometimes, and I used a frozen lamb leg which certainly did not fall off the bone. I thawed it first of course. Shame, after all those hours of cooking. I will learn from experience and taste my lemons and buy my lamb from a trusted butcher. .
This was absolutely wonderful. I roasted the lamb using fan and it didn't take nearly as long as stated in the recipe. But I used the same cook times for the post-roasting of the lamb and the potatoes. The potatoes were lemony and crispy, the lamb succulent and so tasty. I couldn't discard the au-jus - it was just too tasty so used it as accompaniment along with the minty yoghurt. Guests were very impressed, as was I. I served it with the suggested salad as well as some fresh green beans.

So, I was looking around on our dear Booksie and noticed there was a bit of an over flow for vampire stories. I then searched for werewolf stories and noticed there were about a third of them compared to the vampiric ones. With that, I thought of writing a werewolf story. Obviously the werewolves would be the main characters with maybe a vampire thrown in here and there. I would most likely depicted them as a fun loving group with amazing clan values more simialr to the dogs they are related to rather than the demons that we see them as.
Comment if you have anything you would like to see in a werewolf story and I'll try my best to fit it in. :)
I will most likely start writing in the first few days of November.

[Photo: Laurie Laurence (Morton Garringer), second from left, is declared by Jo (Chelsea Leis), second from right, as a brother to the March sisters in The Boze Lyric Theatre's production of "Little Women."]
The story of "Little Women" is based on Lousia May Alcott's classic work. The inimitable Jo (Chelsea Leis), flighty Amy (Olivia Gnagey), solid Meg (Emily Bobel) and otherworldly Beth (Timyaek Barton) are the young women who bloom under the loving gaze of their mother, Marmee (Marisa Vogel), the beady attention of their aunt (Devan Cooney) and the attentions of several men. While the insular family copes with their father's absence during the Civil War where he serves as a chaplain, each of the women embraces their own aspirations and shares in joys, tribulations and the tragedy of loss.
The cast is full of lovely voices, expressive faces and characters that elicit our empathy. The play is visually rich with imaginative costuming and choreography. The work brings a naïve charm, carried along by numerous songs which range from moody emotional fare to lively and upbeat, with several lovely duets. The play in rehearsal, however, was not without its challenges for the audience. Both the length of the performance and audibility of performers posed difficulties which will perhaps show improvement in production.
The women, garbed in an impressive collection of color-coded period fashion, dominate the stage. Chelsea Leis, as Jo, is the golden thread that weaves her way through the show. Leis does a great job of developing her character, displaying the full range of emotions and personal growth.
Marisa Vogel as Marmee March is beautifully expressive in songs demonstrating how she misses her husband and later describing her grief. Olivia Hacker makes a formidable Aunt March. The play's men are also well portrayed. Morton Garringer as Laurie Laurence makes a nice sort of 19th century Justin Timberlake – affable, easygoing and fun. Otis Jeffries as Professor Bhaer strikes just the right balance between stuffy academic and tender romantic. Josh Maldonado as John Brooke delivers exactly the right look and squeaky voice of one struck by love at first sight.
There are some delightful devices employed in AU's "Little Women." When Elizabeth Ewigleben flits across the stage like a blue fairy and sets a sea shell down, you know you are at the beach. And when Timyael Barton as Beth March tugs on the kite, the audience is in for a beautiful metaphor. The play incorporates a brief but vivid play-within-a play where imagination rules, largely courtesy of costumers Natalie Maenhout and Cindra Venturella and choreographer Kenny Shepard.
While the production has many charming aspects, in rehearsal the actors were frequently overpowered by the orchestra, particularly scenes played out predominately upstage. Even downstage, there were moments when the projection of the actors is insufficient to follow dialogue or lyrics, especially when coupled with the accompaniment of the orchestra or the sound of other activity on the stage. No timing gaffes leapt out during rehearsal, and yet, the play was inordinately long. Intermission came a full one hour and a half into the production. Including a ten-minute break, the play in total ran beyond three hours.Finally, while this production of "Little Women" resonates deeply in terms of human compassion, the musical twist on the classic work is perhaps somewhat inauthentic.

How to Fix a Clogged Pump in Washing Machines
A step by step guide to fixing a clogged washing machine pump. This.
3) For automatic/modern machines, once you have switched it off leave it for a minute before opening the door. Opening the door any sooner won't work cause the door automatically locks. With basin in hand, open the door slowly and collect as much water as you can.
4) Once the water has drain out of the drum, remove the clothes and place them in a separate container (basin etc). Mop any water that would have poured out to the floor using the cloths you had prepared earlier. Once all the water has been removed from the inside of the washing machine's drum, close the door and gently tip the washing machine so that it's leaning against something stable e.g a wall. This makes it easier to access the pump.
5) Take a basin (if using the same one you did to collect water from the drum see point 3 above) make sure to empty it first, then place it under the tipped machine i.e., place it in the gap below the machine as now the machine is resting on the two legs at the back and the wall but not the front part.
6) Carefully unclasp the bottom draw of the washing machine, which will reveal the pump part. The pump frontal area is a round cap usually on the bottom right inside the un-clipped draw on the bottom part of the machine. Unscrew the cap slowly and collect the water gushing out into the basin underneath. Once all the water has poured out check the contents, usually bits that were blocking water flow in the machine would have been flushed out into the basin.
7) To be sure that the pump is clear of bits and pieces caught in it, gently put your hand or fingers in the pump hole, once you have removed the cap. Anything still caught will usually be on inside of the pump. Remove anything still stuck gently and with care.
Screw the cap back into the pump and clip the cover back on the bottom draw part. Remove the basin and mop dry any remaining water from the floor. Finally put the washing machine back and try washing something. I suggest washing the cloths you used to mop all the water first.
If that works then you have unclogged your washing machine pump and saved yourself seven two pounds! Congratulations!

- As second-year head coach Dana Vote stated at the end of last week, "we're starting to come together at the right time." That point was made loud and clear with a sweep of the GPAC triangular hosted by Dakota Wesleyan on Jan. 30. The 22nd-ranked Bulldogs knocked off No. 17 Dakota Wesleyan (19-18) and No. 21 Midland (25-13) on the same evening, handing both teams their first GPAC dual losses of the season. Concordia enters its final two duals of the season with a conference mark of 4-1, which places it second behind No. 12 Morningside (4-0). To read recaps of last week's action, click HERE.
- The Bulldogs defeated two teams ranked ahead of them by winning six of 10 bouts over both Dakota Wesleyan and Midland. Included in the 12 individual victories were eight by decision, two by major decision and two via fall.
- Junior Emilio Rivera emerged as a hero at 133 pounds. With Concordia trailing Dakota Wesleyan 18-16 going into the final bout, Rivera upset Richard Rios, ranked No. 6 at 133 in the NAIA, by a count of 5-2. Tenth-ranked Rivera also beat Midland's Joshua Heinzer by major decision in extending his winning streak to five. Rivera (17-6) ranks second on the team in wins.
- Four additional Bulldogs went 2-0 at the triangular: Austin Mogg (125), Alex Stepanek (141), Austin Fehlhafer (174) and Ken Burkhardt Jr. (197). Burkhart Jr., a Milford native, was particularly dominant with a pin and a major decision on the night. He then went 4-2 and earned a fourth-place finish at the Briar Cliff Open on Feb. 1 to bump his overall record to 17-15.
- Fehlhafer (23-8) holds the team's longest winning streak, now at seven after a pair of one-point decisions last week. His most impressive win was a 6-5 decision over the NAIA's No. 6-rated 165-pounder Sterling Terry of Midland. Fehlhafer is 7-0 since the calendar turned over to 2014. His 16 pins are more than any other GPAC wrestler.
- Jan. 30 marked the Mogg's first appearance on the mat since the Desert Duals on Dec. 21. The senior from El Reno, Okla., missed seven duals due to an injury. In his return, Mogg topped Midland's Skylar Goephart 8-5 and Dakota Wesleyan's Will Seydel 5-2 to run his season record to 12-5. Mogg, ranked 13th in the NAIA at 125 pounds, now has 104 victories over his career with Concordia and Buena Vista.
- Austin Starkey (157/165) and Stepanek also recorded big victories in Mitchell, S.D. Starkey (13-15) dominated with a 12-5 decision over 2012 All-American Dusty Paulsen of Dakota Wesleyan. Stepanek (15-13) added decisions that came by one point and two points, respectively.
- Following last Thursday's duals, Vote took 11 of his wrestlers to Sioux City, Iowa, on Saturday for the Briar Cliff Open. Several regulars in the dual lineup took the weekend off, including Fehlhafer, Mogg and Rivera. Both Kodie Cole (133) and Burkhardt (197) earned fourth-place finishes in their respective weight classes. Concordia's 11 grapplers combined on a record of 24-20 at Briar Cliff.
- Individually, Burkhardt and Dmitri Smith (125) led the way with four wins apiece at the team's final open of the season. Ceron Francisco (285) and Starkey (157) came in next with three wins each. Another four Bulldogs collected exactly two wins. Ten of the 11 notched at least one victory on the day.
- Fehlhafer and the Bulldogs compete only once this week as they get back to GPAC dual action. They will travel to Orange City, Iowa, on Tuesday for a 7 p.m. match with Northwestern (4-5, 3-3 GPAC). Last season Concordia defeated the Red Raiders 24-19 in Seward. After Tuesday, the Bulldogs have just a single meet left (dual at Hastings on Feb. 13) prior to regionals on Feb. 22.
- The Red Raiders have three nationally-ranked wrestlers: No. 15 Angelo Quintana (17-11) at 125, No. 16 Zach Fishman (20-5) at 157 and No. 11 Randy Null (21-9) at 184.
Track and Field
- Head coach Kregg Einspahr's track and field programs played host for the first time this season as the two-day Concordia Classic played out Jan. 31 – Feb. 1 inside the Walz Field House. Including the Bulldogs, a total of 12 teams sent competitors to Seward. That total was made up of five GPAC schools. Seven of the 12 teams are NAIA institutions. Four represent NCAA Division II and the other is a NCAA Division III school for track and field. To read recaps of the meet, click HERE.
- In sum, the Bulldogs hit 18 combined 'A' national qualifying marks and won a total of seven events between both the men's and women's squads at the Concordia Classic. Sophomore Kim Wood broke through with a pair of first-place finishes on the track as part of an impressive performance. She won both the 1,000 meter and one mile runs, earning a national qualifying time of 5:11.17 in the one mile. She already held a qualifying mark in the 1,000 meter run. She ranks seventh on the NAIA leaderboard in the 1,000 meters and 10th in the mile.
- Senior Lydia Pomerenke, a 2013 All-American in the outdoor heptathlon, broke another school record on day one of the meet. The Seward native eclipsed Stephanie Kohlwey's former program mark of 3,023 points in 2005 by racking up 3,227 points in the pentathlon. Pomerenke already held the Concordia record in the heptathlon. Her point total in the pentathlon places her second in the GPAC and fifth in the NAIA this season.
- Four-time All-American and defending GPAC weight throw titlist Jamie Crouse raised the bar another notch with her performance at the Concordia Classic. She PR'd in the weight throw with a toss of 60' 7 ¼" to place first and jump to No. 1 on the NAIA chart. That mark out-distanced her previous best of 59' 3 ½" at last season's Polar Dog Dual. Crouse also turned in an automatic qualifying mark in the shot put on Saturday with her throw of 43' 1 ¾".
- On the track, senior Hayden Hohnholt shined in his only event of meet. The native of Gillette, Wyo., came in under the automatic national qualifying mark by nearly five seconds with his time of 15:00.34 in the 5,000 meter run. Hohnholt ranks second in the GPAC and 15th in the NAIA with that mark.

The next home meet will take place on Friday, Feb. 14 (Concordia Indoor Invitational). Concordia's seniors will be honored at the meet.
Women's Basketball
- The ninth-ranked Bulldogs, who have appeared in the top 10 of the national rankings in 32-straight polls, followed up their CIT championship with two more wins last week to extend their winning streak to four. In its return to Walz, Concordia used a big second half to pull away from Doane for an 83-62 win on Jan. 29. Three days later the Bulldogs gutted out a 60-53 road win over an improving Mount Marty squad. Eighth-year head coach Drew Olson's squad is now 20-5 overall and 12-3 in the GPAC, placing it a half game behind GPAC leaders Hastings and Northwestern. For recaps of last week's action, click HERE.
- Lasts week's two triumphs have pushed the Bulldogs to 20 wins for the third-straight year and for the sixth time over the past seven seasons. Over his eight seasons, Olson now has 186 career victories for an average of more than 23 per season. He is second in program history in career wins behind only Carl Everts' 195.
- The team's most recent win also gave Olson his 100th in GPAC games, making him the first coach to in school history to reach that mark. The GPAC began in 2000. During that time period, Concordia has had three women's basketball coaches, including Olson and Micah Parker (1998-2002) and Todd Voss (2002-06). Olson's GPAC record is now 100-46 (.685).
- The Bulldogs continue to ride star point guard Bailey Morris, who has taken off in the scoring department. Morris, now far and away the team's primary ball handler, racked up 45 points with a pair of 20-plus point games last week. Perhaps even more impressive, Morris played a total of 61 minutes and turned the ball over just twice. She also dished out eight assists and snared nine rebounds in a huge week.
- Morris, the GPAC's fourth-leading scorer at 17.6 points per game, continues to rise on the school's all-time scoring chart. Her eighth and ninth 20-plus point games of the season bumped her to 1,195 career points, landing her 17th on the Concordia career scoring list. Directly in front of Morris is Teresa Noffke (1985-89) with 1,207 points.
- Sophomore Jenna Lehmann played a big role in last week's win over Doane. The native of Albion, Neb., came off the bench to provide nine points and a career high eight rebounds in 13 minutes of action. She made all four of her shots from the field. Her career best point total is 13, a number Lehmann reached on two occasions last season.
- The injury to Jericca Pearson necessitated junior Tracy Peitz's move to more of a post position role. On Saturday Peitz tied Pearson for the team lead with four double-doubles. Peitz tallied 15 points and 10 rebounds at Mount Marty. She is averaging career highs with 13.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.5 steals per contest. With 727 career points, Peitz is on track to next season become the 23rd 1,000-point scorer in school history.
- Saturday's 34.3 percent shooting clip posted by the Bulldogs was their lowest in a winning effort this season and just above the team's season low percentage of 33.3 in the loss at Northwestern on Jan. 11. Due in large part to its ability to create turnovers, Concordia has managed to win six games this season when it has shot below 40 percent from the field. The 60 points scored at Mount Marty marked a season low for a team that entered play averaging more than 83 points per game.
- The Bulldogs continue their run of three-consecutive road games with contests at Nebraska Wesleyan (1-18, 0-14 GPAC) at 6 p.m. on Wednesday and at No. 25 Dakota Wesleyan (15-8, 8-6 GPAC) at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Concordia has been dominant against the neighbor Prairie Wolves, whom the Bulldogs have beaten 13-straight times. Meanwhile, the Tigers will be hungry for a win to improve their résumé for a potential national tournament bid. Morris and company topped Dakota Wesleyan 85-66 in Seward on Dec. 20.
Men's Basketball
- It was a tough week for first-year head coach Ben Limback's squad, which could not hold late leads in close losses to both Doane (Jan. 29) and Mount Marty (Feb. 1). The Bulldogs fell twice last week by a combined total of six points while going up against a pair of teams they had defeated earlier in the season. Concordia sits at 7-17 overall and 2-13 in GPAC play, putting it in a tough spot as it relates to contention for the eight-team GPAC tournament that begins Feb. 26. The Bulldogs are currently 3.5 games out of eighth place. To read recaps of last week's action, click HERE.
- Concordia possessed a lead as late as the 4:04 mark versus Doane and clung to a two-point advantage with less than 10 seconds remaining in the loss at Mount Marty. In both instances, the Bulldogs fought back after getting down early. They trailed by as many as 12 points against Doane and by seven points in the first half at Mount Marty.
- While foul trouble helped limit freshman Chandler Folkerts to six points and four rebounds in the loss to the Lancers, his effort on Jan. 29 fueled the rally back from a dozen points down versus Doane. Folkerts piled up 18 points (14 in the second half) and 10 rebounds for his second-straight double-double at the time. While averaging 4.5 rebounds per game on the season, the Milford native has improved to an average of 8.0 boards over the past five contests.
- Sophomore Robby Thomas, the GPAC's No. 1 shot blocker and third-leading rebounder, enjoyed a monster game on the glass at Mount Marty. He hauled in a career best 15 rebounds as the Bulldogs out-boarded the Lancers 37-26 on the afternoon. Last week the Shawnee, Kan., native totaled 19 points, 21 rebounds and four blocks.
- In terms of offensive productivity per minute played, no one did more last week than freshman Justin Damme. The 6-foot-10 native of Cook, Neb., piled up 19 points (8-for-11 from the field) in 28 minutes of action over the two games. Against Doane, Damme had 12 points on 5-for-5 shooting in 11 minutes. Damme, who has three double figure scoring games in his last six outings, is averaging 6.6 points on the season.
- Doane star guard Domonique Smith has recorded the two highest point totals for an individual against the Bulldogs this season. In Concordia's 86-81 win at Doane on Dec. 4, Smith dropped 31 points. He then went off for 34 last week as the Tigers returned the favor with a win inside Walz Arena. Smith's 34-point effort tied Bulldog senior Adam Vogt for the fifth-highest point total this season by a GPAC player. Smith also has a 35-point game to his credit.
- Vogt continues to climb the GPAC leaderboard in 3-point percentage. The native of Syracuse, Neb., went 6-for-13 from beyond the arc last week to raise his season percentage to 42.0. That figure ranks sixth in the conference. He also lands at No. 6 in 3-point field goals per game (2.29).
- The Bulldogs are back on the road for two more games this week, beginning with Nebraska Wesleyan (10-9, 5-9 GPAC) at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. They finish the week on Saturday at Dakota Wesleyan (13-11, 6-8 GPAC) at 8 p.m. on Saturday. Both teams defeated Concordia in Seward earlier this season.

Monessen shooting suspect jailed
A Donora man wanted by police turned himself in Monday on charges he tried to murder a Monessen man June 8 at a house party.
Deaubre Phill Lightfoot, 22, of 466 Third St., was arraigned at 11:24 a.m. in front of Magisterial District Judge Joseph Dalfonso in Monessen and remanded to the Westmoreland County Prison in lieu of $50,000 cash bond.
Lightfoot faces charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and simple assault after Monessen police said he pistol whipped Dealo Duncan before firing two bullets into the victim's chest and head in the basement of a residence at 527 Chestnut St.
Police believe Lightfoot was acting in retaliation from a recent incident when his brother was allegedly shot in the hand by Duncan.
According to Monessen police Chief John Mandarino, Duncan was treated and released from the hospital and is back home.
Lightfoot's preliminary hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. June 28 in front of Dalfonso.

Daytime Fountain Show Coming To Paradise Bay????
Adding to the massive list of new attractions and offerings coming to the Disneyland Resort on June 15th, something interesting appeared on the Disneyland calender. A new show Called Melody Time is taking place in Paradise Bay every hour 5 times a day from 11:00 to 4:00. PhineasTheHitchhikingGhost grabbed a pic before Disney pulled it down.
While the show may just be using the name, we are not sure if the show will utilize music from Melody Time. Daytime fountains have been tried before with Disney Channel Rocks! The show has failed but I always thought the daytime fountains was a neat feature.
Stay tuned to DLNT as more on this story becomes available.

[...] to Disneyland News Today a new daytime fountain show could be coming to the Disneyland resort. Disneyland has an amazing [...]
I know they want to get the most out of the money that they put out for the fountain system. The bay looks so much better durring the day when you can not see the fountains
Yeah… I'm kinda conflicted. The bay does look nice during the day, but I would love to see what they can do with the system in the daylight.
Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!

Heart Masks Mind
{Originally Published on Secret Agent Mama and originally featured right here on November 20, 2008}
Oh fiery colors, how short your stay,
Merrily tantalizing my sense of sight.
Against the blue sky, as if to blaze the way,
Towards the promise of a new day, bright.
It is in autumn that I reflect the most,
The end of the year spinning my mind around.
Like the trees that wait again to host,
My thoughts pause to absorb the sound.
Through the standstill, I look forward and back,
Considering past, dreams turn to a future of hope.
I wonder: Are the trees hopeful while they lack?
Or have they just found a way to cope?
My mind it is filled with worry and doubt.
Though my heart, a hopeful tree, dreams about.

Belize Travel Tips, Belize Vacations, Featured »
In order to survive in the increasingly competitive tourism industry, even the most remote resorts must pay careful attention to their kitchens as travellers are placing greater emphasis on a quality dining experience, the food and beverage manager of a popular Belizean eco resort advises. Bryony Fleming Bradley, of The Lodge at Chaa Creek in western Belize, said that the days of adventurous travellers being satisfied with food that was simply hot and palatable are over. "Some years back, our guests would always comment at how happily surprised they were with the quality of the food we served, as it usually exceeded their expectations of what would be found in such a pristine location.
Eco Kids Summer Camp »
Officially known as the Children's Summer Camp Scholarship Program, the annual event gives 24 young Belizeans a chance to learn about their natural world through a mix of adventure, social interaction, fun and hands-on education aimed at instilling a sense of wonder and responsibility for the environment, according to program sponsors Mick and Lucy Fleming.

According the December 19 Sydney Morning Herald article ("China alert to doomsday rumours"), authorities in China have detained more than 90 people across seven provinces for spreading rumours about so-called Maya prophesies linking the 2012 Winter Solstice to the end of the world. According to the reports, theories posted on the internet and in the US film "2012," which was hugely popular in China, have fueled fears of what is being called the "Maya Apocalypse" resulting in people scrambling to prepare for survival.

The Lodge at Chaa Creek, which has been promoting environmental sustainability in Belize for over 30 years, has been a long-time supporter and enthusiastic participant in La Ruta Maya. So passionate, in fact, that owners Mick and Lucy Fleming sent a staff member to Canada to learn canoe building from Ted Moores, a master canoe builder of Bear Mountain Workshop in Ontario, and now produce their own handmade timber canoes.

Republican Bloodlust, Why Do They Love Torture?
This clip is from last week on Morning Joke. It's amazing, Lawrence O' Donnell goes off on Marc Thiessen who wrote a book called "Courting Disaster: How The CIA Kept America Safe and How Barack Obama Is Inviting The Next Attack". Lawrence kicked his ass and went right for the jugular, Joe Scarborough cut him off and went to commercial.
A couple of days ago, Joe Scarborough had Marc Thiessen back on to debate the issue with Daniel Freedman, who does an excellent job countering the many lies that Thiessen is pimping around. Here's that exchange…
It just amazes me that some on the right, Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney and Marc Thiessen are so intent on torturing people. WTF is wrong with these people. This passage from Elizabeth Holtzman's piece on MichaelMoore.com says it much better than I ever could. (emphasis mine)
Military interrogations in wartime are critically important. They might reveal, for example, where the enemy is going to strike next, and affect the lives of thousands of American troops. Yet until the Bush Administration took office, the US did not adopt torture as an official tool to extract such information. It's good to recall why.
After horrific mistreatment of detainees during World War II, including the torture of American POW's by the Japanese, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the supreme commander of Allied forces, urged the US to ratify the Geneva Conventions. General Douglas McArthur voluntarily instituted the Conventions for American troops in the Korean War, even before they were ratified.
There are very good reasons why America as a country shouldn't torture. They all seem obvious to me, but I guess the lessons of history don't mean a whole lot to some. So many of the people who are the biggest supporters of torture also claim to be patriotic, how patriotic is it to dishonor those soldiers that fought in previous wars and who learned the lessons of war? More from Elizabeth Holtzman…
These commanders supported the Geneva Conventions, not because they thought it acceptable to "tie our hands" during combat and expose American troops to unnecessary risk, but because they realized the real danger to our country lay in using torture, not in abstaining from it. They saw professional interrogations produced important information without torture. They knew torture only weakens our reputation and our ability to project "soft power" — to command respect and persuade abroad. They perceived inhumane treatment of the enemy would only further endanger the lives of American troops.
David Patreus, the hero of the right until recently, was on Meet the Press this past weekend and reiterated his feelings about torture. Here's part of what he said on that show.
I have always been on the record, in fact, since 2003, with the concept of living our values. And I think that whenever we've perhaps taken expedient measures, they've turned around and bitten us in the backside. We decided early on, in the 101st airborne division, we just said, we decided to obey the Geneva Conventions…
Abu Ghraib and other situations like that are non biodegradable. They don't go away. The enemy continues to beat you with them like a stick…. Beyond that, frankly, we have found that the use of interrogation methods in the army field manual that was given the force of law by Congress, that that works."
Whenever I hear one of the neo-cons arguing for torture, I can't help but think to myself that there is some other reason why the crave torture. Why could they be so adament about it in the face of so much evidence from psychologists, professional interrogators in the FBI and by people like John McCain who actually was tortured? Why do they ignore all that evidence and continue to pine for the days of torture under Bush/Cheney's regime? In a post by Peter Levine called "What's Wrong With Torture", he helps to explain a possible reason.
While there are no major ancient or medieval critiques of cruelty, the classical liberals (who were the intellectual ancestors of today's conservatives and progressives alike) focused on cruelty as a special evil because it represented what they feared most: state tyranny…
it tends to "normalize" torture. Normalization is a powerful and dangerous pyschological phenomenon. As Luban writes (pp. 1451-2):
"we judge right and wrong against the baseline of whatever we have come to consider "normal" behavior, and if the norm shifts in the direction of violence, we will come to tolerate and accept violence as a normal response. The psychological mechanisms for this re-normalization have been studied for more than half a century, and by now they are reasonably well understood."
Dick and Liz Cheney along with Marc Thiessen seem almost desperate in their attempts to "normalize" torture and they like to use people's fears and emotions to gain their support. I'm certainly thankful that President Obama has put a stop to it and we are returning to the morals and principles that our country was founded on.

Nice post. We are already a nation of violence, against. women, latinos, blacks, and the poor. It's a shame but that is our history.
Comment by Roberta in Texas | February 24, 2010 |
Because of the rules this game is played by we (the average citizen) will never know if the alleged torture of KSM and his ilk provided us with good intelligence or not.
The anti-torture people use very dated studies to make their case against torture. Who's to say the studies are still true today; a lot has changed over the decades. Can you say for certain that torture NEVER helps us gain valuable information? I don't think you can. The pro-torture people can't disclose their findings because it's all wrapped up in classified government documents. If something needs to change then it is that they need to do a better job of keeping their methods secret.
My feelings would be different if we were discussing POW's but these illegal combatants who've allegedly been tortured should be grateful we don't just summarily execute them.
Comment by Chicken Hammer | February 24, 2010 |
Great post, Jim. I think it's safe to say that most republicans tortured their family pets growing up. They hate anything that is living or breathing.
Osama bin Laden has been dead for years, but George Bush made sure Osama's plan for America was carried out!
Comment by KayInMaine | February 24, 2010 |
Hey Chicken Hammer, can you explain what the Geneva Convention was all about? Thanks idiot! YOU REPUBLICANS ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO BE EDUCATED!
Comment by KayInMaine | February 24, 2010 |
Kay, I do not see anything in any of the Geneva Conventions that would classify those cowardly pukes as POWs. The Third Convention Article 4 defines POW. Those chicken shit detainees are not POWs as defined by the Geneva Conventions.
Comment by Chicken Hammer | February 24, 2010 |
I didn't dig that hole Jim; SCOTUS dug that hole. One of the few intelligent things GWB did was Gitmo. Since they were not US citizens and not being held on US soil they had no right to habeas corpus. When SCOTUS affirmed their habeas right SCOTUS dug their own hole; witness how SCOTUS has been absent from the brew ha ha going on over where and when to hold the trials. In the same vein as the feds push unfunded mandates on the states and tell them to deal with it SCOTUS has done the same thing to the USDOJ.
But getting back to my response to Kay, the detainees are no more entitled to Geneva Convention rights than any other murderer, rapist, kidnapper, etc… in our prison system today. The Geneva Conventions clearly define POWs and the detainees we are holding definitely fall outside that definition.
Comment by Chicken Hammer | February 25, 2010 |
Chicken Doofus, if an American is captured overseas, you're fine with that person being tortured and beheaded?
GITMO, Abu Graib, and all of the illegal secret torture CIA prisons that George Bush's Brownshirts set up ARE ILLEGAL WHERE ATROCITIES OCCURRED AT THE HANDS OF AMERICANS! And we wonder why people of other countries hate our guts so much!
Americans are not barbarians unless the American Taliban (today's republicans/conservatives/teabaggers) are in charge! Then we are no different than the terrorists! Right Chicken Doofus?
Comment by KayInMaine | February 25, 2010 |
Some of the PRISONERS WERE PURCHASED FROM THE COUNTRY OF PAKISTAN (Mushareff rounded his political opponents up to help George Bush fill up his prisons to make it appear like Bush was tough on terror!). How do you define them, Doofus? Hard cargo?
Comment by KayInMaine | February 25, 2010 |
Jim, strategical Gitmo was brilliant. A very secure location not on US soil. It is also a great place to try foreign terrorists. It makes no sense to spend billions of dollars securing NYC for trials when we've already got a secure location bought that wouldn't require any additional security.
I don't recall saying anything to justify torture. I was making the case that the Geneva Conventions does not apply to the terrorists we have in our custody. Our military on the other hand would clearly have POW status under the Geneva Conventions. There is a huge difference in how a POW should be treated and how a criminal (terrorist) should be treated.
It pisses me off when I hear ignorant people spout off about the foreign terrorists we capture are protected by the Geneva Convention[s]. Most of those idiots don't have a clue what's in the Geneva Conventions, don't know it is plural, don't have a clue that the 3rd convention clearly defined who is a POW, or how the definition is there in part to keep terrorists from hiding behind civilian human shields. Captured soldiers ARE POWs. Captured terrorists ARE NOT POWs.
Idiots (you know who you are) who have never read the Geneva Conventions (you know who you are) have no place telling us who is and who is not a POW.

Not my favorite purchase. I bought the area rug to go with two modern white leather chairs for a showroom display, and honestly it just looks so cheap. The material for the rug is scratchy and thin. If it were for my home I would return it right away.Read More

Pretty pattern, but scratchy and discolored
I bought this rug for a nursery. It is a pretty pattern and it looks good in the room. But in several places, the white/ivory stripes are more yellowed, as if some kind of glue had spilled on the yarn in those places. It's pretty noticeable even from a few feet away. I am not sure if I will go to the trouble of returning it, but it's just something that kind of bothers me. The website says it's organic -- when the rug arrived, it didn't say anything on the packaging about being organic. It just said "wool and viscose." But it did say Made in India. I got it because I wanted a non-toxic rug. It doesn't smell, but it's hard to know if it is organic. There is no backing on it -- it is just pure, tightly woven wool -- so at least I know there are no toxic glues used for the rug backing. It is rough/scratchy. I was hoping it would be softer -- I am not sure it would be comfortable to sit on, for a baby to crawl around on. I don't even think I would want to sit on the rug wearing shorts, because it would be kind of rough on your legs. All in all, an OK purchase, but given that I'm not even sure it's organic, I probably would have gone with a rug from a different store that is softer and not discolored.Read More
Pretty but irritating
The design and color are really nice. However, its hard to tell from the picture that the rug is very flimsy. Even with a pad, just walking on the rug kicks it up in all places. Forget about moving an ottoman or coffee table around; it will not stay flat. Also, this rug is true to its wool; the tiny little wool fibers end up everwhere....on the floor, in your nose, on your skin. Very itchy. It also picks very easy. I ran a vacuum over the rug to try to get rid of the wool fibers but it messed up the quality of the rug.Read More
Perfect in my dining room. The rug is thin but it is in a room I don't use often.Read More
Happy with this purchase
Am very happy with this purchase, the rug arrived within 7 days (shipped to Australia over Christmas) and rolled out flat. The texture is quite coarse but this is not an issue for me, no shedding so far and I love the look of the rug.Read More
Questions & Answers
Exactly What I was looking for in color and design
After extensive on-line and in-store shopping, I chose this rug for its smart and contemporary visual appeal, natural material (wool), and price point. I think it will look outstanding in the designated space I'm placing it (my new office/den).

The value of Michael Kors, the man and the company, doesn't seem to go down.
For the third time in less than a year the company has sold shares into the public market, each time higher than the previous offering. And each time, founder and namesake Michael Kors has cashed out millions in the process.
Late last night the company priced its second follow-on offering since its IPO at $53 a share, up 165% from the IPO price and a slim 2.8% discount to shares on the market, showing there remains plenty of demand for the fashion company.
The company went public in December at $20 a share, an offering Mr. Kors sold nearly 6 million share into. In March, it became one of the early stocks to break the expected lock-up following an IPO, by selling 25 million shares for holders as the price had soared. Mr. Kors sold nearly 3 million shares in that offering at $47 each.
Mr. Kors also sold nearly 4 million shares in this latest offering. That brings his total proceeds from the IPO and follow-ons to over $467 million. And he continues to hold another $451 million worth of stock, at current prices.
And he's not the only one making leather-bags full of money on the deal. The company's chairman and CEO John Idol has cashed out about two-thirds of his holdings, bringing in $301 million in proceeds and he's still holding $238 million in stock.
