As a Spencer County resident who has two young children in Spencer County Schools, I would like to suggest that a story be written and published in regards to the young athletes that contribute so much to the high school's athletic programs.
SCHS sports programs are so often made up of several younger middle school-aged athletes that work really hard to contribute to varsity and JV, yet they never get much recognition for their achievements or their hard work!
Have you ever stood beside the casket of a friend who was killed as a result of an alcohol related accident? I have.
Have you ever had someone share with you that they were an alcoholic and all the struggles and temptations that they faced on a daily basis, especially when people chose to drink around them? I have.
Have you ever sat down with a young wife and mother as she poured out her heart that her husband's drinking was destroying their marriage and harming their children? I have.
Over the years, one of the worst things I've had to do was to lay off an employee. I have had to do that four different times and I very well know what a low and devastating feeling it is as an employee and as an employer.
As an employer, it was my responsibility to find and provide the work and I was not able to do that. I let a lot of people down, including myself.
I believe that every willing and able person in this country has the right and the responsibility and should have an opportunity to have work or a job.
On behalf of the Title I office, I would like to invite parents to join us during the PTA meeting on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the TES media center to review the Parent Involvement Policy. Please RSVP to DeVona Hickerson, Title I Coordinator to let her know if you plan to attend at 502-477-6585. Thank you.

I am a mother with a broken heart. My only child (a son), whom I adored, became a victim of alcohol abuse at the age of 36 when he took his own life.
Bryan was a bright, intelligent boy, was a talented artist, his heart was filled with love and compassion and he had a wonderful sense of humor. Bryan was raised in church, he made a profession of faith at the age of seven and he attended the church's Awana club where he achieved earning a Timothy trophy. What a bright, wonderful future this miracle from God had before him.

the Chief of the Amtsgruppe C, SS Brigadeführer and Major General of
the Waffen SS Dr. Engineer KAMMLER Berlin-Liechterfelde-West. Unter dem
Eichen 126 135. Crematorium II has, with the exception of a few details
of construction, been completed thanks to the use of all available people,
despite immense difficulties and freezing weather, by day and night shifts. The
ovens were lighted in the presence of the chief engineer, M. Prüfer of the
firm Topf u. Söhne, Erfurt, which was in charge of their construction; and
they function perfectly. One has not yet been able to plaster the concrete
ceiling of the body cellar (Leichenkeller) because of the action of the frost.
That is, however, without importance given that the gassing cellar
(Vergasungskeller) can be used for this purpose. Because of the
unavailability of railway carriages, the company of Topf u. Söhne was not
able to deliver on time the ventilating apparatus ordered by the central
management for buildings. After the arrival of this equipment, the
incorporation of it will be begun at once so that one may foresee that it' will
be completely in service by 2-20-43. Enclosed is a report of the engineer
inspector of the firm Topf u. Söhne. The Chief of the Group for
Constructions of the Waffen SS and of the

Section III baseball champion Clinton enters state tournament play a week after winning a Class B title, but the Warriors -- who play Waverly in a regional final Tuesday night -- do not think the lengthy layoff will be a factor.
It's been a week since Clinton's baseball team won the Section III Class B title, so the Warriors have had an unusually long time to prepare for Tuesday night's state tournament showdown at Union-Endicott High School.
At this point of the season -- with a first-ever, final four berth at stake -- there are pros and cons to a long layoff. Clinton coach Tom Pfisterer, though, has a well-rested ace in pitcher Anthony Rizzo and a good feeling about how his Warriors (18-5) will handle any of those "cons" when they meet Section IV's Waverly (18-5) in a Central Region final at 7 p.m. at U-E's Sylvester Field.
"I'm concerned, but I'm not afraid of it," Pfisterer said of the down time. "It's just a concern, that's all. On the plus side, we've had some aches and pains and the week off has helped a couple guys heal up. And after throwing three times in four days, it's given Anthony some extra rest.
"We've tried to make sure we're sharp, and these kids are loose. I don't think stage fright is a worry."
Rizzo, no doubt, is ready. The senior right-hander is 8-1 with one save, a 0.45 ERA, and 74 strikeouts in 61ª innings. He had two complete-game victories in the Section III tournament, beating Notre Dame 2-1 in the quarterfinals and 2009-2010 state champion Westhill 5-3 in the Memorial Day final at DeLutis Field.
"I like it that Anthony's going to be on the mound, I like the demeanor of our boys. … They're going to be ready to go," said Pfisterer. "They don't want this to end."
Led by seniors Rizzo, Austin Bouse, Stephen Ford and Mike Hayduk and juniors Alex Dobrzenski, Ian Foxton, Andrew Hobika, Justin Jandke, Lenny Ortiz and Andrew Taft, Clinton has won 17 of its last 18 games. Four Class AA schools beat the Warriors during their spring break trip to Florida, and their only setback since then was a nonleague loss to Class A New Hartford on the final day of the regular season.
"It's a little different," Hayduk said of the week off. "We're used to playing every day or three or four times a week, but we've handled it well. We're bringing intensity to practice every day.
"This is one of the biggest games in our program's history. It's huge, absolutely huge. At the most, as seniors we have three games left and we don't want to fall short of that goal."
Waverly is also seeking its first final four berth – Tuesday's winner returns to U-E on championship Saturday to play a state semifinal game at 10 a.m. – and the Wolverines also have a well-rested ace in Patric Bronson. The 6-foot-5 senior earned all-state honors last season, and he is 8-1 with 92 strikeouts in 55ª innings.
Page 2 of 2 - Bronson (.290, 24 RBIs), shortstop Cody Marchese (.494, 26 RBIs), catcher Anthony Girolamo and second baseman Dylan Perry (.429, 36 RBIs) are first-team all-stars for a Waverly team that captured its first Section IV title with last Thursday's 6-4 win over defending state champion Oneonta.
Bronson will face a Clinton lineup led by leadoff hitter Bouse (.506, 24 RBIs), Hayduk (.416, 21 RBIs), Dobrzenski (.404, 17 RBIs), Taft (.373, 21 RBIs), Foxton (.347, 16 RBIs) and Ortiz (.313, 5 HRs, 20 RBIs).
The Warriors scored all five runs off Westhill star J.C. Pena with two-out hits, but Clinton needed a two-run double by No. 8 hitter Ford in the bottom of the sixth inning to break a 2-2 tie and three errors helped Westhill score two unearned runs.
"I've got to think runs are going to be hard to come by and we can't make it any tougher on Anthony than it has to be," said Pfisterer. "Anthony's really not a strikeout pitcher. We've still got to make plays behind him."

Fesoterodine is used to treat overactive bladder (a condition in which the bladder muscles contract uncontrollably and cause frequent urination, urgent need to urinate, and inability to control urination). Fesoterodine is in a class of medications called antimuscarinics. It works by relaxing the bladder muscles to prevent urgent, frequent, or uncontrolled urination.
Fesoterodine comes as an extended release (long-acting) tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken with or without food, once a day. Take fesoterodine at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take fesoterodine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Swallow the tablets whole with plenty of liquid; do not split, chew, or crush them.
Your doctor may start you on a low dose of fesoterodine and increase your dose if your symptoms are not controlled. Talk to your doctor about how fesoterodine works for you
Your symptoms should begin to improve during the first few weeks of your treatment with fesoterodine. However, it may take up to 12 weeks for you to feel the full benefit of fesoterodine. Tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after you have taken fesoterodine for several weeks.
Fesoterodine may help control your symptoms, but it will not cure your condition. Continue to take fesoterodine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking fesoterodine without talking to your doctor. If you stop taking fesoterodine, your symptoms may return.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Talk to your doctor about eating grapefruit and drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.
Skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time the next day. Do not take two doses of fesoterodine in the same day.
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

AgangSA NEC members seek reinstatementComment on this story
Johannesburg - AgangSA president Mamphela Ramphele has received a lawyer's letter apparently from anonymous national executive committee (NEC) members demanding its original composition be re-instated, the party said on Wednesday.
"Dr Ramphele dissolved the executive because it was dysfunctional and failing to carry out basic duties like hold regular minuted meetings, and carry through discipline proceedings," said interim spokesman Philip Machanick in a statement.
"Worse, it had failed to put in place the necessary steps to create democratic structures to replace interim structures only intended to last through the election."
Instead of threatening legal action to retain their positions, the anonymous NEC members only needed to attend NEC meetings and carry out their duties if they wanted those roles.
"What boggles the imagination is the fact that these people are so terrified of a 66-year-old woman that they are not willing to put their name to a piece of paper, let alone talk to her face to face," Machanick said.
On Tuesday, Machanick said an AgangSA Gauteng faction was behind accusations made against Ramphele over a bank account opened for an IEC refund.
"AgangSA rejects this claim as defamatory and without foundation, and reserves the right to pursue its rights and its president's rights in this matter," Machanick said in a statement.
There was currently an ongoing investigation into a separate matter, involving former NEC member Andrew Gasnolar.
Gasnolar allegedly used forged signatures to set up a bank account to receive around R65 000 from the Electoral Commission of SA (IEC).
He had given a "full explanation" to Agang MP Andries Tloumma on the matter.
"There is no evidence that Dr Ramphele is in any way implicated in this matter," said Machanick.
Machanick said on Tuesday he had temporarily taken over from national spokesman Mark Peach while the party's NEC was being re-constituted.
Eyewitness News reported on Monday that Ramphele had been given 48 hours to resign pending a probe over the account.
The broadcaster reported that seven of the party's nine provincial branches met on Sunday afternoon to table a motion of no confidence against Ramphele.
Peach, in an e-mail to Sapa on Monday, said the meeting calling for Mamphele's resignation was held by a small group of disaffected members and was unconstitutional.
The members were mainly drawn from a small segment of one of five regions in Gauteng, who had previously publicly attacked Ramphele.
On Friday, Ramphele opened a case of fraud with police, related to the account.
This followed another fraud case opened at the Centurion police station by party chairman Mike Tshishonga for the same reason.
The account was set up to receive a refund from the IEC following the May 7 general election. - Sapa

They make their livings in various fields - from an independent filmmaker to an insurance agent - but when it comes to helping others 12 community members stand out.
For their efforts, the dozen were in the spotlight at the Silver African American Scholarship Awards Banquet and received Make a Difference Achievement Awards at Sunrise Baptist Church.
The event is presented by Shreveport-Bossier DeSoto African American Scholarship Awards Committee.
"The ceremony gave recognition to African-Americans in our society who make it a better place to live," organizer Ken Latin said. His mom, Katie Latin, founded the event 25 years ago and decorated for 2013 with black and silver.
But, the black-tie evening wasn't all dining and schmoozing. Proceeds go to scholarships, Ken Latin said.
Guests dined on chicken and ham dinner with dressing, greens, green beans, potato salad and such confections as bread pudding to music by Young Pros Entertainment.

But then there is the always popular cocktail party for 20 at $50 each. It is donated by Delton Harrison and Chef John Cariere and always overflows with names. And, who could resist bidding for Aly B's Bakery 10-inch Black Forest Cake?
Partygoers included Dr. Charles and Katherine Sale, who are planning an October wedding at First Presbyterian Church of Shreveport, for daughter Catherine Sale and Rob Greene, both of Columbia, S.C.
Others placing bids or nibbling on an array of tasty treats - beef sliders with corn dusted buns and scallop and asparagus cavatappi pasta - were: Lenelle Williford, Craig and Judy Storer, Leonard and Mary Anne Selber, co-chairwomen Dr. Andrea Master Everson, Audra Muslow and Candy Peavy, Carolyn Prator, Fran Miller, Jane Theriot, Anita Holloway, Becca Quinn, Nellie Lyon, Susan Cage, Nanette Beach, Rick Muslow, Rita Williams, Susan Falbaum and Julie Zadeck, Ann Landry, Caddo Commissioner Linn Matthews and Linda and Rico Biernacki, there with darlin' daughters, Emily and Nikki.
Sponsors included: Ruth Doreck, Bobbie Hicks, Barbara Zeagler, Bart and Misty Alexander, Will Atkins, Bob and Lauren Ewing, Dr. Bill and Judy McColgan, Dr. Ken and Debbie Harrison and Dr. Lacy and Edie Williams.
From the early winter social files:
... Celebration of Mardi Gras in the Ark-La-Tex has shuttered - though the 2014 season is closely in the wings.
1. Among parties left behind were two traditional fetes: Krewe of Gemini XXIV dukes and duchesses reception for royals and captain at Savoie's Catering and the krewe of Justinian Brunch at 2Johns Steak & Seafood, Bossier City. Hosts were Pete and Jennifer Zanmiller, Keith Sutton, Gene Corley, Gail Sykes and LaVelle Pinder, who honored King Gemini Brad Graff, Queen Kim Hoover and Captain Mary Louise Stansell.
2. As Mardi winds down, the entire Justinian court and captain, with much of the planning by the dukes and duchesses throw a wing-dinger of a brunch.
The hosts: King John Cox, Queen Sonya Medlin, Captain Kenny Haines; Dukes Ryan Gatti and John Wiggins and Duchesses Whitney Howell and Amy Bokenfohr.
While the brunch bunch sampled cheese grits, bloody Marys, mimosas and omelets, piano jazz music played on merrily. Just enjoying the morning: Trudy Daniel, Jim and Sandy Hill, Ron and Rose Weems, Nila Thurston, M'Lissa Peters and Berry Glassell.
... When Shreveporter Thomas Pressly decided to marry Maggie Nelson in early winter, he headed West to Newport Beach, Calif., and the Pelican Hill resort. And a ton of locals, including parents, Dr. Tom and Tracy Pressly, followed.
The wedding was on the resort grounds overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Dr. Tom Harrison, of Broadmoor Baptist Church, officiated just as raindrops ceased and the sun shone.
"Then, a seated dinner and endless dancing. A night to remember," said Guest Betty H. Henderson, who shared with us photos she snapped. Among those jetting out for the nupitals: Sheri Rowell, Dr. Holly and Sammy Guy, Chris and Kathy Martin, George and Clare Nelson, Dr. Larry and Lori Allen, Tom and Cindy Harrison, Whit and Mary Ann Boggs and Eliot and Susan Knowles.

Utah Jazz's Al Jefferson goes for a dunk over Golden State Warriors' Harrison Barnes on Feb. 19 in Salt Lake City.
- Filed Under
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Charlotte Bobcats agreed on Thursday to a three-year, $40.5 million contract with free agent center Al Jefferson from the Utah Jazz, said people familiar with the situation.
Jefferson will make $13.5 million in each year of the deal, with the third season being a player option.
The people spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't become official. The contract cannot be signed until July 10 when the NBA's moratorium on signing new deals is lifted. ...

Not much to report on the permit front this Friday, except this: A former Anacostia grocery store is being converted into a dialysis center.
Nearly 11,000 square feet of the Anacostia Warehouse Supermarket building at 1918 14th St. SE, acquired by Vienna-based Good Hope Investments LLC in November 2012 for $2.8 million, will be converted into a 15-station outpatient dialysis clinic with the capacity for nine additional future stations. The clinic will include exam rooms, home training rooms, offices and a staff lounge.
The building totals slightly more than 20,000 square feet, meaning there may be another lease or two to come.
Shortly after the market sold, the Washington City Paper reported the owner was in negotiations with "some national tenants" for the building, an option that does not appear to have panned out. The paper also noted that one advisory neighborhood commissioner said she'd be "very upset" if a dialysis center moved in.
One other permit to report from Thursday.

Mandi Smith's first step on the SCC campus was not when she was hired as the student activities specialist in 2008. Or when she was first hired at the Child Development Center (CDC) in 2006. The first time she was on campus was on her high school's student council field trip.
"I thought it was really cool to be on a college campus," she said.
As the student activities coordinator, Mandi is one of the most involved people at SCC, so it may be no surprise to learn she was just as involved in high school and in college. "In college, the more involved I got, the more I realized I loved working on a college campus," Mandi said.
Mandi was the first one in her family to go to college; she attended Columbia College (Missouri) on scholarships. After two years of taking secondary education classes, Mandi decided against a career in teaching.
"I still loved working with kids, but after taking a few communication classes, I realized I was enjoying those classes a lot more," she said. She made the switch to communications her junior year of college.
After graduation she looked for a position in student activities within higher education but with no luck. Instead, she took her first job as a paraprofessional for the Rockwood School District. And a year later, she began working at the CDC with her sister.
At the CDC, she met Kelley Pfeiffer, coordinating counselor for student activities, whose daughter was in Mandi's class. At the time, Kelley was the only person responsible for student activities. "I told her I was looking for a student activities position," Mandi said. "Because that's where my heart is; that's what I wanted to do."
A couple years later, Kelley's administrative assistant retired and the position was changed. Mandi didn't hesitate to apply and in 2008 she was hired as the new student activities specialist.
Since then, Student Activities has tripled their programming. "It hasn't always been easy," Mandi said, "but we love providing these opportunities for students. Working with students is my favorite part of the job."
Mandi and Kelley have come a long way in the last four years, and they to continue to build a presence on campus and in the community. "We want students to get more involved and enjoy being here," Mandi said. "We want them to have a connection to SCC in addition to academics, because I think having some fun in college is necessary."

Robbie Conal's "The Missing Link" at Country Club LA opens November 18Juxtapoz // Friday, 12 Nov 2010
Robbie Conal's work predates many influential artists that you may already know. In the 1980's, Conal developed an "iconic, satirical portrait painting style combined with succinct, punning text to express his concerns about abuses of power by politicians, bureaucrats, and corporate power brokers." Those public, guerrilla poster campaigns during the period were legendary.
And now Country Club in LA is presenting a major survey of Robbie's work, The Missing Link, highlighting Conal's twenty-five year arc as painter and political provocateur.
We are going to have more details next week, with our LA corresspondent, Amy Duran, heading to the show.

Pew | Twitter
Between the last week of August and the third week of October, 38 percent of campaign coverage studied by Pew's Project for Excellence in Journalism was "what is typically called horserace coverage, stories substantially concerned with the strategy and tactics of the campaign and the question of who was winning." In 2008, 53 percent of the coverage during an analogous time period could be so characterized.
Interestingly, Mitt Romney's campaign fared considerably worse in PEJ's analysis of the "tone" of campaign coverage — until horse-race stories were removed. Then both his and President Obama's campaign received essentially the same treatment from the press.
Obama got more positive coverage than Romney before the first debate — though the study notes that was mostly because Romney got so much bad press in September. After the first debate, "the coverage in effect reversed," the study says. "In all, 20% of stories about Romney were favorable, 30% unfavorable, and 50% mixed — a differential of 10 points to the negative. For Obama, 13% of stories were favorable, 36% unfavorable, and 50% mixed — a differential of 23 points."
Horse-race coverage is always a hot topic in journalism, especially as elections approach, but it's been especially so in the past week, as Politico's Dylan Byers has asserted it's more valuable than the poll-based journalism of FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver.
Coverage by platform
The most striking coverage differences compared to 2008 appear on cable TV and in newspapers. Pew finds that the ideological differences in 2012 coverage were "even more pronounced, and is no longer quite a mirror image. MSNBC was more negative in its treatment of Romney than Fox was of Obama, though both stand out significantly from the rest of the media studied."
There was an important difference in newspaper coverage as well. Pew found that newspaper coverage of Obama shifted from 45 percent positive in 2008 to 70 percent mixed in 2012.
If you were wondering how some of the candidates' individual tweets were received in various states, Twitter has compiled a map that lets you see just that.
Also Friday, Pew released a study showing that "48% of internet-using registered voters watch video news reports online about the election or politics." Forty percent said they'd watched videos they'd discovered via social networks.

Colts OLB Robert Mathis,left, comes into knock the ball for a fumble and sack on Seahawks QB Russell Wilson late in the second quarter. The Colts defeated the Seahawks 34-28. October 6, 2013, at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Robert Mathis is on a tear. He's having, arguably, a career year, on pace for his most productive statistical season.
And what's most remarkable about it all, to me, is the fact that Mathis is doing this at an age when many players begin slowing down.
He's 32. It's not exactly over the hill for the rest of us, but by then, most NFL players have seen their best days come and go. Quarterbacks tend to be an exception. Offensive linemen can be, too. ...

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
'99.99% of antiques in the market are fake'
02 Jan 2014 23:48 GMT | Africa, Rwanda, South Africa
A former head of Rwanda's external intelligence service was found strangled in a hotel in South Africa, where he has lived in exile for several years, his opposition party said.
"The Rwandan opposition is deeply saddened to announce the assassination of Colonel Patrick Karegeya in Johannesburg," the Rwanda National Congress (RNC) said in a statement on Thursday.
"His body was found in a hotel where he went for a meeting."
"It is true," Frank Ntwali, the party's chairman for Africa told AFP news agency.
"He was strangled by agents of [Rwandan President Paul] Kagame."
Ntwali said Karegeya was killed at the Michelangelo Towers, an upmarket hotel in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton. It was not immediately clear if he was killed on Tuesday night or on Wednesday.
Karegeya, in his early fifties, was for a long time very close to Kagame.
He served as head of external intelligence for around a decade before being demoted to army spokesman and was later arrested and jailed.
He was stripped of his rank of colonel in 2006 and fled into exile the following year.
Another prominent Rwandan dissident in South Africa, Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, survived two assassination attempts in June 2010.
Rwanda accused Nyamwasa of terrorism and trying to destabilise the country.
The RNC statement said investigations had found "overwhelming evidence of the involvement of Rwandan intelligence operatives in those attempts".
Rwanda has vehemently denied involvement in the attacks.
Karegeya and Nyamwasa are both prominent figures in the opposition party, despite not holding specific posts.
Karegeya leaves behind his wife Leah and three children.

A Marion Superior Court judicial panel has ruled against the City-County Council redistricting maps drawn up by council Republicans in 2011 and signed into law by Mayor Greg Ballard, shown above.

When City-County Council Democrats' redistricting challenge landed in court, Presiding Judge Heather Welch expressed hope that a five-judge panel could avert the partisan split that divided the local bench a decade ago.
But the judges' ruling again fell along partisan lines today when three Democratic judges on Marion Superior Court, including Welch, threw out a redistricting plan backed by Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard. The ruling went against the wishes of two Republican judges.
The court's majority opinion says the court now will draw up new boundaries, a step allowed by state ...

|Structure of measles virus hemagglutinin bound to its epithelial receptor nectin-4.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23202587 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Measles virus is a major public health concern worldwide. Three measles virus cell receptors have been identified so far, and the structures of the first two in complex with measles virus hemagglutinin (MV-H) have been reported. Nectin-4 is the most recently identified receptor in epithelial cells, and its binding mode to MV-H remains elusive. In this study, we solved the structure of the membrane-distal domain of human nectin-4 in complex with MV-H. The structure shows that nectin-4 binds the MV-H β4-β5 groove exclusively via its N-terminal IgV domain; the contact interface is dominated by hydrophobic interactions. The binding site in MV-H for nectin-4 also overlaps extensively with those of the other two receptors. Finally, a hydrophobic pocket centered in the β4-β5 groove is involved in binding to all three identified measles virus receptors, representing a potential target for antiviral drugs.

New Zealand fall cheaply in JamaicaComment on this story
Kingston - New Zealand's miserable form in the Caribbean continued as they were bowled out for 260 on the first day of the second Test in Kingston, Jamaica on Thursday.
Paceman Kemar Roach took four for 70 and fellow quick Tino Best chipped in with 2-40 as West Indies removed the tourists for a modest score on a decent track at Sabina Park.
It was a poor batting display from the Kiwis, who had been 161-3 before a collapse that leaves them with a real fight to avoid a whitewash in the two-Test series.
West Indies openers Chris Gayle and Kieran Powell had to negotiate five overs before the close and they reached 11-0 by stumps.
Darren Sammy won the toss asked New Zealand to bat and the West Indies skipper's decision was rewarded with two early wicket, BJ Watling (2) the first to go when he edged Roach to Gayle at slip.
Brendon McCullum (0) soon followed when he was caught behind off a fine delivery from Best, who was in for the injured Ravi Rampaul, leaving New Zealand struggling at 11-2.
Martin Guptill and skipper Ross Taylor got their heads down and put on a much-needed 103-run partnership, taking the sting out of the West Indies attack and proving that the track was comfortable enough to bat on.
But Best, generating real pace, got the crucial breakthrough when Taylor (60) tried to cut a rising delivery and thick edged to Denesh Ramdin behind the stumps.
Guptill has been one of the few bright elements in a poor tour for the Kiwis, who were also convincingly beaten in the one-day series, and he moved on to his third consecutive half-century.
But at the other end, Kane Williamson was teased into edging spinner Narsingh Deonarine to Sammy and then Dean Brownlie was caught behind off the impressive Roach.
The pressure was on Guptill to carry the innings but, attempting a second run, he found himself short of his ground as some fine fielding from Best ran him out for 71.
There were some aggressive shots from the tail as the tourists attempted to salvage a decent total at the end of their innings but West Indies head into day two trailing by 249 runs and with all their first innings wickets intact. - Reuters

4 am. She strained the mac and cheese onto her legs. She has no skin.
I got a Luke Skywalker costume so I can go do battle with the homeless guy who plays the fiddle dressed as Darth Vader downtown.
Shit chicky whatchu wearin rt now, ur skins?
No, pictures of your dick will not make me feel better about my grandmother having a brain tumor.
No, no, no. Fuck you. I took a glass blowing class solely to learn how to make that bong. You shattered it and my dreams in a matter of five seconds.
I'm drinking with 3 chicks and 1 gay dude. 100% chance I'm getting laid and 75% chance I'll enjoy it.
Somehow she slept thru the vacuuming, people walking in and out, and the sound of constant beer bottles hitting the trash, but when someone said weed in a regular volume of voice she startled awake.
After 2 hrs of driving around looking for him, we just found him sleeping in the bed of my truck with the cover closed, cuddling with the spare tire.
he started fingering my stomach rolls instead of my vag... am i really that fat?
Don't really want to talk about it. You were right. She had a whole jar of toenail clippings on her nightstand that she chews on "when her fingernails are too short." Direct quote.
and then I told her I was too drunk. She started to cry, and told me this always happens to her and that she thinks shes ugly. I pretended I was asleep and then she farted.
wtf he couldnt undo my bra, i asked him if it was his first time and he said "with a girl? yeah"
So I went home with some chick last night... I'm not sue what's worse: not getting a nut at 5am, the condom breaking and not being replaced, feeling poo when I put my finger in her but, sleeping on a heroin mattress in her living room, her swine flu coughing fit at 7am or realizing she peed the matt at 10am. Actually it was probably the fact that she continuously told me she was the classiest girl in boulder.
Dude, I just went to take a piss and looked at my ballsack... Underneath was labled "L" and "R"
I told her it just looked small because my balls were gigantic. She bought it.
it felt like a thousand fairies were licking my balls.
She didn't know my name but she knew I was Canadian so she just called me Canada. It sounded like the national anthem when we were fucking.
Some guy shouted fuck america during the national anthem, i decked him. They threw him out. USA USA USA!
the girl i fucked last night woke up this morning, disoriented and looked at me, and said "oh, you're hot." and went back to sleep.
I want to fuck you on the side of the bed tonight.
I'm sorry, I want to penetrate you on the edge of our sleeping quarters this evening.
Learn some fucking English or leave me alone! "Your" is for something that belongs to you, like 'your herpes'. And "you're" is a contraction for "you are", like "you're not sleeping with me".
i think it would be like really awesome if scientist could genetically engineer manatees to be like the size of goldfish so i could have one in my fishbowl and be like FUCK YEAH TINY MANATEE
So i guess my mom went into the kitchen and asked me why i was making mac and cheese at 4 in the morning and apparently i yelled at her to "get the fuck back bitch you don't know my life"
I'm fucking your sister right now.
At McDonald's last night the guy gave you the wrong kind of McFlurry, so you screamed at him, "YOU MCFUCKED UP."
I had to convince you not to write "happy birthday to the first guy who fingered me" on his facebook wall, right above the post from his current girlfriend's mother.
No I am not eating basil off your cock
and this is why we should make december sharting awareness month.
I'm concerned you might be passed out on a random rooftop right now. Not concerned enough to do anything about it. Hope you're alive. Goodnight.
Getting wasted on top of a casino. My penis is so much higher than everyone else's right now.
Next time I say "Watch this" Get me the fuck out of the bar.
i said she could sleep in my bed and she goes "iiiiiiii warned you. iiiiim a cuddlerrrrrr!" slightly regretting this..
I can't believe you just thanked me for a blowjob on my Facebook wall...
way to not show up for Habitat for Humanity, real classy...
No room in fridge, chilling wine in snow. Do NOT let the dog pee on it.
I think you blew our chances when you yelled "YOU SLUTS COMING TO THE TITTIE BAR?" in their face
regular news: took many shots of tequila.....bad news: woke up with a toothbrush and vagisil next to me.....good news: clean as a whistle
Dear vodka that I hid in a water bottle in the backseat of Blairs car, I'm sorry that she gave you away to a man on side of the road with an over heated engine. I'm sure the car doesn't appreciate you as much as I would have.
I wonder if u can grow weed on Framville and sell it to Mafia Wars?
seriously iPhone. stop autocorrecting all my fucks into ducks. you're making all my strong worded texts look harmless and adorable.
"Students using Axe body spray to light selves on fire" is a real headline from a real newspaper. WHY AREN'T WE DOING THIS RIGHT NOW?
just fought my dog for the chicken pie I dropped on the floor.
What baked good do you think says thanks for being a great tutor, lets bang?
He was really drunk and I dared him to jump the swimming pool on his bike. Sadly he couldn't. Hey did you know a testicle can burst?
She texted me and said she was fingering herself. Don't respond to this because she's the perfect girl. I'd love to smell her cell phone after that.
I assume you meant to text someone else on your contact list instead of your own mother...
Soo both my 8 year old sister and fuck buddy are named Sarah..
nooope. guess which one i texted last nite to come over so i could "punish her pussy"? =\
my roommate's gf just broke up with him and hes in his room crying and listening to coldplay while beating off to pictures of her...
Dude, I found out the hard way that she wipes back to front. I ate her out and had to throw up.
I was about to go down on her and her dong flopped out and hit me in the chin. This may have a Nam like post-traumatic-stress-disorder effect on me.
So not only just find my adoption papers that I didnt know about in my parents house, but they say "child shows some signs of mental retardation".
Where the fuck is Rob at, he hasnt answered his phone in like 2 weeks.
Just kidding, but im pretty sure he boned your gf and doesnt want to talk to you.
Babe, the 4 years we've been together have been amazing. Will you marry me?
You realize if you die tommorow, the last memory i'll ever have of you is your ballsack on skype
i dont remember who you are as you are in my phone as "mr. peanut."
She had to leave early so she could get ready for her high school's homecoming. I hope her date likes sloppy seconds.
Drunk in a canoe getting pulled by a lawn mower thinking of you
They have a guy from new zealand living under their stairs.. they don't charge him rent. He just buys food and booze and bartends their house parties.
A monkey stole my iPod. This was not in the fucking study abroad brochure
he's totally gay but hes wondering what hes missing out on. Im going to show him.
he said he wants to do me james and the giant peach style. im afraid of what that means. but moderately excited. wish me luck.
When she was giving me head last night it felt like there was a NASCAR pit crew working on my dick.
So my ex just cheated on her current bf w/me and now there's a car coming to take me to Vegas... Is this really my Thursday night?
So I'm up to masturbating three times a day, drunk textin my ex, not doing any hw and I've failed half of my tests so far
He had a seizure when i was giving him head. for a second i was thinking i was doing a spectacular job
i dont know everytime i see her teeth i get erectile disfunction
Fuuuuck. Forgot it's October. FYI scarecrows are gonna fuck you up when you're driving high
These people keep looking at me like I'm the first person to ever eat ribs in a Home Depot.
Just slept with my boyfriend's roomie to learn if bf was cheating on me
chlamydia ends and my period begins. this isnt real life
You kept throwing bottles at the dorm across the courtyard and when anyone told you to stop you just said "who are you? Al Gore?"
I'm drinking whiskey outta the bottle trying to earn the trust of some ducks in the yard
how opposed are you to picking me up at the bar at 11:00am?
While he was going down his phone rang and he answered saying I'll call you later I'm eating.
Hangover cure: shower, throw up again, sleep for 4 hours, eat salsa, brush teeth. Good to go.
Are you really this nice or are you just trying to get in my pants?
wanna go with us to feed the ducks bread soaked in vodka?
He's slept with 25.5 people. Wtf is a half?
look for us when you get to the club. we're the guys wearing snorkels.
there was some random girl that nobody really knew, standing in the corner trying to shave her armpits with a plastic butter knife.
Fuck. That. I'm gonna get drunker and make them regret they EVER put me at the kids table. I'm a MAN.
I'm literally partying with O.J. Simpson's son right now. I don't know what to make of this.
i did the responsible thing and pissed myself...
I got to the apartment, I was handed a beer within 20 seconds, I'm glowing in the dark, there's fog everywhere, and now I'm wearing a sombrero because apparently it's silly hat night. I never want to leave.
Dude you has no fucking this poptart
Also...you were trying to touch his balls without him noticing
yea i thought the egg drop soup tasted weirdly like cum, and then i suddenly remembered what happened last night.
My cleaning lady broke my bubbler. It's awkward between us now.
Well, she opened the door to puke outside the car, but she threw it open so hard it popped back and hit her in the face.
He was streaking. We were hammered. We had roman candles. It only made sense to shoot them at him.
I honestly don't know what my boundaries are, but shitting on me is crossing them.
We had to introduce ourselves in ethics class. This guy stood up said I'm mark, I love sluts and Jack. Then just sat back down. Hero status.
They were fighting, but then they bumped into the bong and it shattered. After that they just hugged and cried.
This girl just introduced herself as Queefer Sutherland. She's on a roller derby team. What. The. Fuck.
Moral of the story: don't get pregs or your chances in the beer league are over
Don't say that out loud. People might think I really like to pee on you.
Sunday was the 8 month anniversary when you shot me in the face...just an FYI.
As it turns out, drunk trust falling that guy at the top of the waterslide didn't really work out for anyone..
After Sake bombs he tried to puke into an alluminum beer bottle and shot vomit streaks in a perfect V out the sides of his mouth and hit BOTH girls he had bought drinks for that night. He was like an Icon of Cock-blocking yourself.
Do you remember that blonde girl he brought home from the bar on Friday night? She didn't leave until Monday afternoon. We didn't even know she was still in his room...what a sketchy weekend.
He used my blackberry to make a voice recording of me orgasming, then set it as my ringtone while I was sleeping. I discovered this during a staff meeting this morning.
You said you couldnt get the condom on but "its the thought that counts"
Dude i was hungover i didnt know she was in the shower, she screamed i screamed we all screamed and i just so happend to piss in the shower.
hey. who tried to drive me home last night?
i'm still in their car. parked on the beach. no one else is here. i have on different pants.
Are they still out there making out on the couch? How can we get them to leave?
we marched down beaver avenue with lit tiki torches humming the olympics opening song.
1. my parents still have sex. 2. being a screamer runs in the family. 3. so much so that i can tell what number of orgasms she's on. 4.so looks like i'm stuck outside a while
Some ambulance just rolled up to this bar and this girl just hops out of the back and walks inside
I feel as though I could trust her, I mean she did tell me she was married before we had sex.
I'm partying with my neighbors right now, and by "with my neighbors" I mean they are partying in their backyard and I'm partying in mine, and by "partying" I mean I'm sitting here alone drinking tequila.
We made a late night liquor run, made margaritas and bloody marys and then retreated to opposite sides of the house to drink them. Alone.
I think one day, after evolution kicks in, my sons will thank me for having a 3rd ball. That's how much sex I'm having.
Someone changed my text signature to "Also, I think I might be gay" last night. Also, I think I might be gay
i don't understand how she was down there for so long, she's like a mermaid, a blowjob giving mermaid.
I just saw a van full of amish parents and their kids. Those cheating mother fuckers!
I want Paula Dean to narrate shark week next year
He was pretty out of it. He heard crickets outside, and thought it was the laptop. So he put his ear to it, rubbed the keyboard, and said "tell me your secrets."
Very hungover, bought a newspaper and found my shorts from last night in the machine.
Well, think of it this way, if this were 200 years ago your father would have received the most goats in all the village for your fertile loins. Think about that.
Once again there IS no outside bathroom. Never has been, that is the balcony
I got an MIP via FUCKING HELICOPTER. Tuscaloosa police either have nothing to do or too many resources.
oh great, iTunes now thinks im gay.
Ok. In one sink is a hairdrier. Still plugged in. The other is filled with broken glass. What do I do?!
I don't know why I've never thought to take my bong into the bathtub before.
I ended up giving him head, i think it was mostly a defensive move so that he wouldn't discover i was wearing those onesy spanx
even iPhones love lady gaga. everytime I type haha it trys to correct it to gaga. this is bullshit...
bro...we were banging on her floor and her dog walked in and started licking my balls
I'm having a chugging contest on the streetcar. The driver is judging.
Plus someone just passed me a joint through the window. BEST STREETCAR RIDE EVER
I fuked that chick last night and she kept saying, "oh...oh....oh", like Bill Lumberg
AHHHH!!! note to self never google image chastity belt omfg
I tried to cut him off and he said "I was the president of a fraternity for 3 years, I could outdrink God."

This map was created in 1885 by G. W. and C. B. Colton and Company. George Woolworth and Charles B. Colton succeeded their father as the best mapmakers in the United States during the 19th century. This map measures 14 ½ by 12 ¾ inches. Source: SHSND 978.402 G11c 1885
Colton's map is dated before the territory was split in two at statehood. It is a largely political map in that it shows such political boundaries as the territorial border, county lines, and township lines. Sheridan County features Dogs Den Butte which has been present under other names on many earlier maps. Note the towns building approximately every 7 miles along the railroad line as designated by the railroad engineers.
Map Activity: Where are most of the towns located? Why? If you were planning to move to Dakota in 1885 which features on this map would you consider most appealing? Where are the Indian reservations? Compare this map to the 1884 Railroad Map. How do the maps differ?

The Titanic is located on the northwest corner of West Fifth and Harrison Avenues. W. S. Sims, Lancaster real estate agent had it built about 1913. / Submitted by Joyce Harvey
The Titanic sank 101 years ago this month on April 15, 1912. After seeing articles in old issues of Lancaster newspapers with titles such as Sheriff Sells Titanic and Fire Damages Old Titanic, I decided this was the month to learn more about Lancasters Titanic.
The building standing today on the northwestern corner of West Fifth and Harrison avenues has been called the Titanic, the Titanic Rooming House and the Fairfield Apartments. This corner is in the Pioneer Addition that was platted on March 12, 1889.
William Sherman Sims bought Lot 473 in 1913. The 1914-15 city directory lists W.S. and Pearl Sims living at 501 Harrison, and Sims as proprietor Sims Hotel.
I think he built the large hotel or rooming house soon after he bought the lot. When the units or apartments in this building were given house numbers, they became 801-817 W. Fifth Avenue.
Why Titanic? It is my guess that the large building reminded folks of the Titanic, and it went up soon after the Titanic sank.
Sims had married Pearl Cole in 1890 in Gallia County. By the 1910 census, they had moved to Lancaster, where Sims was a real-estate agent, and were living at 209 Washington Ave. A son, Clarence, and daughter, Silvia, were born before they arrived in Lancaster, and then a daughter, Sophia, was born here.
Sims and Charles H. Towson exchanged properties, the Daily Gazette announced on Oct. 5, 1916: Towson became owner of the handsome residence of W. S. Sims on Washington Ave. and also the owner of his newly built house and two lots on the corner of Fifth and Harrison Avenues.
In turn W. S. Sims becomes the owner of the fine residence property on E. Mulberry Street owned by Chas. H. Towson and known as the OGrady house and a $2,000 dwelling on Garfield Ave. ... and the eighteen lots in the Chapin Addition on Washington and Harrison Avenues. ... These lots are elegant building sites. ... (Sims) contemplates building two houses one for his son and one for his daughter. This deal involved a consideration of nearly $9,000.
Newspaper articles show that Sims was a busy real0estate agent and active in the West Side Improvement Association. It was the Sims Realty Co. that secured the Ellis property on Main Hill for the Palace Theater in 1928.
Sims also owned a farm just south of Hamburg, where in 1927 he proudly grew a 12-pound beet. The 1940 census shows Sims, then 75, and his wife living at 406 Lincoln Ave.
Pearl died in 1947, and Sims moved to Washington Court House to live with his daughter about three years before he died in 1953. Both are buried in Forest Rose Cemetery.
And the Titanic? It changed owners several times in the 1920s. In 1927, when it sold for $5,100 at a public auction, it was described as a West Side rooming house, but when a fire occurred in July 1928, it was unoccupied.
That fall, C. King, a local furniture dealer, traded a farm he owned for the house commonly known as the Titanic. When Dr. Wilfred D. Nusbaum bought the Old Titanic in 1937, the newspaper referred to it as one of Lancasters landmarks.
It has changed owners many more times but is still afloat today.

Prada Fringe Gunmetal Thong Sandal: Love It or Hate It?
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
I adore the gunmetal color of these Prada Fringe Gunmetal Thong Sandals, $475, but that's just about all I like about it. The fringe is utterly distracting and the fact that it's on a thong sandal makes the situation worse! Plus, thongs with heels are uncomfortable to walk in. What's your take?

The Oxford Expedition to Egypt (OEE) consists of a group of professionals who are undertaking a variety of projects that relate to the study of Ancient Egypt during the period generally referred to as the 'Pyramid Age', or 'Old Kingdom' (c. 2650 - 2150 BC). Since 1995, OEE has been affiliated academically to Linacre College, University of Oxford. The Expedition's founding members possess formal attachments to the College, which effectively link Linacre College and the Expedition staff in the UK to the Expedition's fieldwork in Egypt.
Academic expeditions with current site-concessions in Egypt are granted permission to work seasonally at their ancient sites by the Secretary General and Members of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, a branch of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture. In the case of OEE the sites in which most of its projects are located are at the Saqqara Necropolis, not far from the ruins of the Old Kingdom capital, Memphis.

For the most part I've come to accept my guilty pleasures. I'm only a little bit ashamed that I rock out in the car when "Man, I Feel like a Woman," is on the radio. I admit that I much prefer the chemical slime that is Nair to the onerous task of shaving. I have been witnessed crying at the end of Bones episodes. I'll even own up to my celebrity crushes: Bill Nighy, David Tennant and the young David Strathairn, naked as a jaybird in The Return of the Secaucus Seven.
This is why I am so confused at my complicated reaction to the package of American cheese I found in the refrigerator of my new home.
OK, let me start at the beginning. In purchasing the house from people who were making a long-distance move we became the beneficiaries of a range of items—some lovely furniture we bought from them, exquisite Italian linens and rugs they generously left behind, thirsty bath towels that came in handy those first few nights when I couldn't find where I'd packed my own. We also inherited some leftover foodstuffs: cornstarch and confectioner's sugar, jars of yeast and capers, fancy coffee beans and rice wine vinegar. And a tempting package of sliced American cheese.
Perhaps it's the result of living with my vegan daughter, but I've become very self-conscious about my not-quite-really-a-vegetarian approach to food. As a result I cook carefully, conscientiously, making sure to cut down on fat, ration the use of eggs, buy organic, local—the whole shtick. So when I go out to a diner and order a tuna melt I always hope the waitress just assumes my cheese choice and doesn't pose the weighty question "Swiss, cheddar or American?" because I don't want to have to proffer my low-brow, guilty-pleasure answer.
But now here I was with a whole package in my brand-new refrigerator in my brand-new house. It was a bonus that, like the delicious Italian sheets and pillowcases, I wasn't expecting. Yet unlike with the linens, I wanted to but couldn't quite let myself indulge. The cheese just sat there. I peeled off a piece of a slice a few times and nibbled on that. But I was miles away from making a tuna melt.
Instead, I made an exquisite ratatouille. I peeled and sliced the eggplant, salted it and left it to drain. I peeled the tomatoes and sautéed them with onions, garlic, thyme and bay till just slightly thickened. I sautéed peppers, then zucchini, then the eggplant, each in turn, adding them to the tomato sauce, the way you do with a well-made ratatouille. I squeezed lemon juice on the finished dish and covered it with a chiffonade of basil, fresh from our garden. I warmed up some French bread and made a dipping sauce of tarragon-infused olive oil. Then, hoping no one was watching too closely, I peeled off a tempting slice—no, two tempting slices—of American cheese, tore them into bits and watched as they melted, gooey and luscious, into my perfectly-crafted plate of ratatouille. Obviously I didn't need to add any extra salt.
The next night I vowed to be more abstemious. While my husband was having swordfish, I decided to grill a Vidalia onion and a Portobello mushroom cap, serving them atop a bed of arugula, lightly dressed with some picholine olive oil, a drizzle of violet balsamic vinegar and a palm's worth of snipped chives. Then, right as we sat down to eat, like a woman in a trance, I headed for the refrigerator, peeled off—that's right—two slices of American cheese, tore them into bits and watched as they melted, gooey and luscious, into my perfectly grilled mushroom dish.
It was clear to me I had no self-control. My processed, packaged, pre-sliced cheese jones was getting the better of me. Already I was thinking how nice it would be to chop up some bits and toss them with popcorn as a bedtime snack while I watched a couple of episodes of Arrested Development.
What was happening? Where had I misplaced my couth? And what about my blood pressure?
I vowed I could do better. I threw out the cheese. I took a hot soak in my tub and dried off in my thirsty towels before lowering myself into my luscious sheets. I'll get by, I'm sure.
