MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Six West Tennesseans are now facing federal child sex trafficking charges.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Anthony Grandberry, 32, of Memphis, Orreco Lyons, also known as "Pico the Pimp", 32, of Memphis, Keith Gibson, also known as "Greedy" and "Pee-Wee," 43, of Union City, Vivian Briggs, also known as "Fortune" and "Kisses," 28, of Memphis, Tamara Ramsey, 37, of Memphis; and Falisha Edwards, 32, of Memphis were indicted by a federal grand jury..
Grandberry, Lyons, Gibson, Ramsey, and Edwards are charged with conspiracy to commit child sex trafficking. Gibson is also charged with child sex trafficking, as is Briggs. Briggs is additionally charged with use of a facility of interstate commerce to promote child sex trafficking.
The charges allege that on December 29, 2012, Lyons gave a 14-year-old girl to Grandberry as partial payment for Grandberry's assistance in an unrelated matter. Grandberry then paid to post an advertisement for prostitution to Backpage.com. That advertisement featured photographs of the 14-year-old and included Grandberry's phone number. Ramsey and Edwards assisted him in posting that advertisement. The charges further allege that on January 1, 2013, Grandberry and Gibson directed Edwards to change the Backpage.com advertisement to include Gibson's phone
number instead of Grandberry's.
According to the Superseding Indictment, Gibson paid to post
the new advertisement.
Grandberry, Lyons, Gibson, and Briggs face up to life in prison if convicted of all the charges in the indictment. Gibson and Briggs additionally face a mandatory minimum of ten years in prison,
and up to life, if convicted of the child sex trafficking charge.
Ramsey and Edwards face up to five years in prison for the conspiracy charge. Federal law does not allow for parole.
This Superseding Indictment expands on an indictment filed on January 10, 2013, that charged Grandberry and Lyons with conspiracy to commit child sex trafficking. Gibson was previously indicted on the same child sex trafficking charge in a separate indictment also filed on January 10, 2013.
Grandberry, Lyons, and Gibson are being held without bond on those earlier charges. Prior to the federal indictment, Grandberry and Lyons were arrested on related state human trafficking charges brought by the Shelby County District Attorney General's Office.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Memphis Police Department.

After eight days of marginal sailing days in the 2008 Beijing Olympic sailing regatta, the wind gods provided a day of drama on Fushan Bay.
Qingdao Olympic Regatta 2008. - 2008 Olympics Day 9
Winds built all morning and by Yngling Medal race start time, there was driving rain, waves of one and half to two metres and the wind was a steady 22 knots.
In the Yngling prestart, the Russian boat helmed by Ekaterina Skudina holed the French boat, in a port start-board incident.
Off the start line Many Mulder and her Dutch crew, Anne Le Helley (Fra) and the British blondes were at the committee boat end.
At the top mark Ayton and her crew (GBR) was a second ahead of Ned, USA tried to squeeze in at the mark and stalled and the Dutch were held up. That was the boat race.
The British boat surfed away. At the bottom of the run they were four lengths ahead of the Greeks and a length ahead of Germany.
Behind them the French boat was taking water and it fell back through the fleet.
The race tightened at the top with Germans a length in the lead, but the Brits came back to record a narrow win from the German girls, the Greek trio were third then the Australians.
A shock for the Australian Yngling team, who believed they had finished fifth in the Olympic regatta. As they crossed the line, they disqualified from the medal race, as they had not weighed in today.
Weir, Gojnich and Farrell had weighed in yesterday prior to the start of the medal series, but Weir had failed to weigh in today and were disqualified because Class rules require all crew to weigh in on the day of the race. That smashed them back from 5th at the Olympics to 10th.
The French were given average points for the Medal race.

When the West Fork of Sheffield senior was asked about his success Tuesday, he responded with a shrug.
"I like scoring," Amsbaugh said after helping the Warhawks beat West Marshall 71-54 in a Class 2-A quarterfinal at the state boys' basketball tournament. "It helps the team." ...

I'll be honest, none of them stand out, though if I had to choose one, I'll be fine with Waluigi Time, though I do look forward to seeing some more Pokemon like Dedenne.
I'm fine with video game delays, even multiple delays like this and brawl, aslong as the finished product itself makes up for the extra time (well, in brawl's case, No). Though at this rate I can't help but doubt that we'll also get Half Genie Hero this year.

Senior Olivia Goins produced a course-record performance Tuesday as the Canyon girls cross country team got ready for CIF competition with a resounding victory at the Century League finals.
Goins won the individual league title and Canyon set a team-time course record at Yorba Regional Park.
"Our team has worked exceptionally hard this season and I'm proud of my team because I wouldn't have been able to do this without them," Goins said.
Goins, her sister, Rianna, and Foothill junior Jessica Cushing-Murray broke away from the main pack early in the race.
Goins continued to lead into the second mile, and by the final portion of the race had separated herself from the rest of the field. She crossed the finish line in a time of 17:09, breaking the previous course record of 17:16 set by former Brea Olinda standout Vanessa Hancock in 2006.
Canyon had all five scoring runners finish in the top nine to total a winning score of 24 points.
The Comanches' time of 88:28 shattered the previous course record of 89:38 set by Canyon in 2009.
In the boys race, Villa Park junior Garrett Corcoran tied a course record en route to winning the individual league title in a time of 14:29.
The course record was set in 1993 by Jaime Martinez of Orange.
"It was the competition that helped me run that fast and having people pushing me helped me a lot," Corcoran said.
Brea Olinda (32 points) placed five scoring runners in the top 15 and won the league title for the fifth consecutive year.
At the Sea View League finals:
Senior Alana Jones claimed the individual league title in a time of 17:29 to lead the Hawks to the team title at Irvine Regional Park.
The Hawks (42 points) placed four runners in the top eight to edge second-place El Toro (45) and third-place Aliso Niguel (64).
In the boys race, the Hawks (42 points) had four runners finish in the top 10 and took home the league title over second-place Mission Viejo (46). Capistrano Valley (69) was third.
Diablos senior T.J. Mines won the individual title, clocking a winning time of 15:21

I am thrilled that you have found my little corner of the internet. My name is Megan Card, and I am the founder and primary author of this blog, though my husband Greg, will likely make an appearance from time to time. Some of you may already be familiar with me through my previous blog, {All Things New}. But for those of you who are new, allow me to introduce myself. I am a twenty-something wife to my high school sweetheart, and the mother of two boys. We currently reside in the great state of Texas!
While I am a mommy and a blogger, I do not consider myself strictly a mommy-blogger. The topic of motherhood will inevitably come up in conversation here, because it is very much apart of my identity, but it will not be the primary focus of this blog. Likewise, I will occasionally post DIY projects because I enjoy making things and am currently teaching myself how to sew, however, I do not consider this a DIY blog either. I am no DIY expert and it is unlikely that you will find my creations all over Pinterest! Hahaha! I love to run and workout and I will most likely post updates from time to time, but this is not a fitness blog. (I bet you are beginning to wonder what I will write about! haha)
I love Jesus with every fiber my of being. I am irrevocably, unabashedly, fervently in love with Him. The primary focus of this blog is to chronicle my faith journey and the lessons that I learn along the way. I am not perfect. I make mistakes. God knows my family can attest to that. It is my heartfelt desire to be open and transparent with all of you- to write about the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.
I am passionate about God's Word. I am not a Biblical scholar by any means, but I love to study Scripture and I love to teach. Greg and I feel called to adopt, so the subject of adoption and orphan care will be frequent topics of discussion here. God is stirring up some things in our little family that I cannot openly discuss with you-yet. Hopefully it will not be too much longer before we can share with all of you the direction He is leading us. I do hope that you will visit frequently and take this journey with us. It is so much easier traveling alongside friends
I would thoroughly like to get to know you, so if you would like, kindly leave a comment below and share various ways that I can connect with you
(link to your blog, social media, instagram, etc).
I look forward to learning more about you!

The Green Moms Take on Environmental Links to Cancer
Next Monday the Green Moms Carnival members will host our 26th carnival. We'll tackle environmental links (or causes, depending on your perspective) to cancer. I'll admit I've become radicalized about this subject. Despite all the talking about "finding a cure for cancer," we actually are a lot closer to knowing what causes many cancers than the mainstream public believes. If we cleaned up our environment and took the toxins out of the products we use everyday, I believe we'd find that our cancer rates would dramatically decrease.
My very first post here at OrganicMania was about cancer, and that was before I was aware of the many environmental links to cancer. Cancer is a subject that's close to my heart, having two parents who battled cancer – my mother successfully, and my father unsuccessfully. I also lost my mother-in-law to the disease, and many other cousins, aunts and uncles.
Cancer is a subject I've wanted to revisit, and that's why I asked Tiffany of Nature Moms if she'd host this carnival. Most of us know Tiffany as one of the trailblazers in "green mom" blogging. But Tiffany is also a young woman who battled cancer in her 20s. Her experience caused her to examine the environmental causes of cancer. I couldn't think of a better host for this carnival.
If you'd like to contribute a post to the carnival, it's not too late. Just include a link to Nature Moms, to the home page of the Green Moms Carnival, and email your submission to greenmomscarnival at gmail dot com by Sunday morning.
We're going to be talking pinkwashing, carcinogens, plastics, coal, household cleansers, you name it….we'll put it on the line.
Join us. Monday at Nature Moms.

The Eastern Washington University women's basketball team enters the week as the hottest team in the Big Sky Conference. The Eagles have won six games in a row, including four on the road. But its upcoming opponent is the one responsible for one of only two blemishes on EWU's league record this year. With retribution on its mind, Eastern will play Northern Colorado this Thursday (Feb. 16) at the Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion in Greeley, Colo.
The Bears won the first meeting of the regular-season series on Jan. 14 in Cheney by a score of 56-53. Eastern has not lost a game since then.
Both EWU and UNC have already clinched bids to the 2012 Big Sky Conference Championships, held March 8-10 at the site of the regular-season champion. Eastern, along with current league leader Idaho State, are the front runners for that coveted crown. The Eagles (16-9, 10-2) are just one game behind ISU (19-6, 11-1) in the conference standings. The Eagles and Bengals will not face-off though until the final two games of the season on Feb. 25 in Cheney and Mar. 3 in Pocatello, Idaho.
But all the focus right now is on Northern Colorado, and keeping a perfect Big Sky road record intact. Eastern is 6-0 this year in conference road games, but the Eagles have only won once in its last five trips to Greeley.
In order to continue its current winning streak, EWU will have to find a way to score against one of the top defenses in the league. Putting points on the board was certainly the Achilles heel in the first meeting of the year in Cheney.
"The No. 1 thing we have to do a lot better is score," said EWU head coach Wendy Schuller. "We have to find a way to get good shots, get to the free throw line and score both inside and out. Northern Colorado has great size. They are just a big team across the board. They are able to switch a lot of screens, and when you can do that, you put yourself in a pretty good position defensively. You are able to contest a lot of shots and really stay in between your man and the basket. Northern Colorado does a very good job with that."
In order to combat UNC's defensive prowess, the Eagles will try to push the tempo and score in transition as much as possible.
"It is going to be two conflicting styles getting after it on Thursday," said Schuller. "Northern Colorado will try to keep the game at a slower pace than what we prefer. They like to have games in the 50s, whereas we would rather have it in the 70s and 80s. We are really going to stress getting up and down, and finding those opportunities in transition."
Defensively, Eastern will have to find a way to stop UNC's post players, who combined for 38 of the team's 56 points in the Jan. 14 meeting.
"Their posts dominated us," said Schuller. "We absolutely have to do a better job of defending inside, because they have a couple bigs who will fight hard for position and know how to finish."
Northern Colorado is coming off a split of the Montana road trip last weekend. The Bears lost for the second time this season to Montana State, but then edged Montana in overtime to get the regular-season sweep against the Lady Griz.
Eastern swept its series with Montana State, while splitting with Montana.
News & Notes
Big Sky Tourney Field Nearly Set - In winning its ninth conference game on Feb. 4 at Sacramento State, Eastern Washington became the first team in the Big Sky to clinch a bid to the 2012 conference championship, held March 8-10 at the site of the regular-season champion. Four other teams, including Idaho State, Northern Colorado, Montana and Montana State have also clinched. Portland State and Sac State are the two teams fighting for that final spot.
Eagles On a Roll - Eastern Washington has won its last six games in a row, nine of its last 10 and 11 of the last 13. The Eagles boast a flawless 6-0 Big Sky road record, which ties the school record for the most league road wins in a single season. In the current six-game winning streak, EWU has out-scored its opponents by nearly 100 points (460-363), while averaging 45.7 percent from the floor. EWU has held its opponents to 37.9 percent shooting. The Eagles have already swept the regular-season series with Montana State, Northern Arizona, Sacramento State and Weber State.
Onslaught of Honors - For four-consecutive weeks, an Eastern Washington women's basketball player has received the Big Sky Player of the Week honor, and for the first three weeks, it went to a different player. Senior Brianne Ryan repeated this week as the Big Sky POW after being selected as the Co-POW with Montana State's Katie Bussey on Jan. 6. She earned the most recent accolade after leading EWU to a 78-45 rout of Weber State, which was Eastern's largest margin of victory against a Division I progam this season. Ryan poured in a career-high-tying 33 points - her fourth 30+ outing of the season. She was 13-of-20 from the field, including a nearly perfect 5-of-6 effort from 3-point range. She also grabbed five rebounds and had a game-high five steals in just 29 minutes on the floor. Along with being named POW by the conference office, Ryan was also recognized with the same award by College Sports Madness. Last week, in Eastern's two wins against NAU at home and Sac State on the road, Ryan averaged 27.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists. She had 29 points against NAU with three 3-pointers, followed by a 26-point effort at Sac, which included a perfect 8-of-8 from the free throw line. Prior to Ryan's back-to-back honors, senior Chene Cooper was selected as the POW after leading the Eagles to a sweep of the Montana road trip for the first time since becoming a member of Division I athletics in 1983-84. The 5-foot-0 point guard averaged 15.5 points, 8.5 assists and 5.0 rebounds. Against perennial power Montana, Cooper was sensational with a game-high 18 points, nine assists and only one turnover in 37 minutes on the floor. On Jan. 23, junior Carrie Ojeda earned her first-career POW honor after leading EWU to an important win on the road against defending Big Sky regular-season champion, and preseason favorite, Portland State. The 6-1 center posted her fourth double-double of the season with 18 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. She was 9-of-14 from the floor, while also contributing three blocks, one assist and one steal.
Ryan Also Recognized for Role in Montana Sweep - After leading Eastern in its historic sweep of the Montana road trip, senior point guard Chene Cooper was named the Big Sky Conference Player of the Week by the league office, but fellow senior Brianne Ryan received the same honor by College Sports Madness. Ryan averaged 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in the sweep. On Thursday at Dahlberg, Ryan posted 15 points with two 3-pointers, and had five rebounds, one assist and one block. Against the Bobcats, Ryan poured in a game-high 22 points on a 9-of-16 effort from the floor, including two more 3-pointers. She was two rebounds shy of a double-double, as she finished with eight on the night. In addition to leading her team offensively, Ryan also had the job of guarding Montana State's leading scorer. She held senior guard Katie Bussey, who ranks second in the Big Sky in scoring, to just four points on 2-of-10 from the field. In Montana State's very next game against ISU, Bussey went off for 41 points.
Coop Puts Up National Numbers - Senior Chene Cooper (Puyallup, Wash.) currently ranks fifth in the nation in assists, averaging 7.2 per game. She is one of only five Division I women's basketball players across the country that average seven or more assists per game. The 5-foot-0 point guard has been among the top 10 in that category every week of the 2011-12 campaign. She leads all players in the Big Sky by nearly three complete assists. In addition to her season average, she also has the most career assists of any active player in the league by more than 100. She is currently second in the EWU all-time career record book with 498, and is seventh in Big Sky history. Coop is also among the best in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio. With 181 assists and only 78 turnovers this season, she ranks No. 1 in the Big Sky and 11th among all players in Division I.
Disruptive Defense - Eastern Washington is one of the top 20 teams in the nation in steals, and top 50 in turnover margin. The Eagles have had at least 10 steals in 16 different games this season, including eight games with 15 or more. Three different Eagles rank among the top 15 in the Big Sky in steals, including Chene Cooper, who leads the league outright and is 20th in the nation. In seven of 12 conference games, EWU has forced 20 or more turnovers, with at least 12 steals in each of those contests. In its Big Sky opener against Montana State (Dec. 29), EWU grabbed a school-record 22 steals. MSU ended up with 28 total turnovers in that game. At Northern Arizona (Jan. 7), the Eagles forced 31 turnovers - the second-most miscues for any team in the Big Sky this season. At home against Sac State (Jan. 12), the Eagles forced 27 turnovers and the next night versus Northern Colorado (Jan. 14), EWU forced 24. Eastern's +4.1 turnover margin in conference play is the best in the Big Sky.
Presence in the Paint - Eastern's junior center Carrie Ojeda (Tacoma, Wash.) has become a big time post player for EWU. She is currently the leading rebounder (6.8/game), the third-leading scorer on the team (10.2/game) and owns the top field goal percentage among starters at 46.6 She has been even better in conference play, averaging 12.6 points and 8.1 rebounds. Ojeda is the best shot blocker in the Big Sky, averaging 1.9 per game. She has set or matched a career-high scoring mark in five different outings this year. She posted a career-high 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting in Eastern's win at Northern Arizona (Jan. 7). Prior to that, she twice set a career-high of 19 points against Montana State (Dec. 29) and Eastern Oregon (Dec. 12). In Eastern's win at Portland State (Jan. 21), Ojeda made a career-high nine field goals to finish with a team-high 18 points, which propelled EWU to the important 75-67 on the road.
Ryan Scores 30...Again - Senior Brianne Ryan (Lynden, Wash.) registered a season and career-high-tying 33 points against Weber State (Feb. 9) for her fourth 30+ scoring effort of the season. Only two other players in the Big Sky have hit the 30-point mark this season, and no one besides Ryan has done it more than once. She has scored in double figures in all 25 games of the 2011-12 season, which is currently the longest running streak in the Big Sky. In 12 of those 25 games, Ryan has poured in 20 or more points - the most 20+ scoring efforts of any Big Sky player this season.
Composing a Symphony - The Eastern Washington women's basketball team has had an extremely successful month with nine wins in its last 10 outings. Head coach Wendy Schuller says the team has witnessed such success because of a cohesive team effort. "We are playing great team basketball," said Schuller. "We are really figuring out what each other does well. We had talked the other day about a symphony, and how not everyone can sing the same note and in the same pitch and expect to make beautiful music. I think everyone on our team is contributing what they can, and we are learning how to get the right people the ball in the spots where they can do good things, and that is lending a lot to our success. Defensively, it is kind of the same thing. We are helping each other out and communicating well. Our defense gets our offense going, and vice versa. When you're shooting the ball well, it definitely gives you energy on the other end of the floor."
Ryan and Coop Join 1,000-Point Club - Senior Brianne Ryan (Lynden, Wash.) scored her 1,000th career point against Arizona State on Dec. 2, and senior Chene Cooper accomplished the same feat against Montana State on Jan. 28. Ryan and Coop are two of only eight players in the Big Sky Conference to reach the career milestone.
Keys to a Win - For the 2011-12 Eagles, there seems to be a couple statistics that prove more important than others when it comes to winning a game. This season, the Eagles are 14-1 when leading at the half, and 15-1 when shooting above 40 percent from the field. Eastern has won only one of eight games in which it trailed at halftime, and that was at Portland State when it trailed by just one single point (28-27) at intermission. The Eagles have also won just one of nine games in which they've shot below 40 percent from the field. In its 16 victories this season, EWU has shot an average of 44.3 percent from the field. In the nine games lost, the Eags are converting 34.7 percent of their shots.
Eagles Discover Depth - This season, six different players on the EWU roster have led the team in scoring at least once, and seven in rebounding. In a 78-62 rout of Sacramento State (Jan. 12), five different players scored in double figures, which was the first time all season the Eags had five players with 10 or more points in a single game. Head coach Wendy Schuller put 14 different players into the game, and 11 of those 14 scored at least two points. Ten different Eagles had at least one assist and at least one rebound, and eight separate players had one or more steals. Sophomore Laura Hughes led the Eagles in scoring with a career-high 14 points, She also had a career-high 11 rebounds for the first double-double of her career.
Coop Sets Career and Single-Game Steals Record - In Eastern's 2011-12 Big Sky Conference opener against Montana State (Dec. 29), senior point guard Chene Cooper broke EWU's 27-year-old career steals record and tied the school's single-game steals record, set on six different occasions. Cooper had seven steals against the Bobcats, which improved her career total to 218. She surpassed the previous career record of 212, held by Lisa Comstock, who played from 1982-85. Along with owning the top mark in EWU history, which has since improved to 249, Cooper also appears in the Big Sky record book for all-time career steals, ranking seventh in league history.
Eagles Break 32-Year-Old School Record - As a team, Eastern Washington tallied 22 steals in its Big Sky opener against Montana State (Dec. 29), and in doing so, broke a school record that had stood for 32 years. The previous team single-game steals record of 21 was set on Feb. 10, 1979 when the 1978-79 Eagle squad played Northwest Nazarene. Against the Bobcats on Dec. 29, 2011, eight of 10 players who entered the game had at least one steal, while four players had three or more. Montana State committed 28 total turnovers in the game.
Mother-Daughter Milestone - Senior Brianne Ryan scored 32 points against Weber State (Jan. 5), and in doing so, finally surpassed her mother on EWU's all-time career scoring list. Ryan now ranks third in the EWU record book with 1,369 career points. Her mother, Neil Ann Ryan (formerly Massie), is ninth with 1,190. Neil Ann played for Eastern from 1979-82. She is also one of only three players in EWU history to notch 1,000+ rebounds, as well as 1,000+ points. Neil Ann ranks third in EWU history for career rebounds with 1,008.
3-Point Threats - Senior Brianne Ryan has hit at least one 3-pointer in 24 of 25 game this season, and has had three or more on 11 different occasions. She drained a career-high six against Portland (Nov. 29) and had five against Boise State (Dec. 17), Montana State (Dec. 29) and in Eastern's most recent outing against Weber State (Feb. 9). She is averaging 2.5 per game, which is third in Big Sky statistics and is among the top 40 nationally. In her career, Ryan has hit 134 3-pointers, which ranks fifth in the EWU record book. Sophomore guard Chenise Pakootas has also become a major scoring threat for EWU, especially from beyond the arc. She ranks among the top 15 in the Big Sky in both 3-point field goal percentage and 3-point field goal average. She is averaging 1.2 3-pointers per game on a 41.8 percentage, which is the top percentage among all players in the league. Pakootas had a career outing in Eastern's final non-conference game against Idaho, scoring 14 points with a career-high four 3-pointers.
Freshmen on the Floor - Eastern has two freshmen who are making significant contributions in their rookie seasons. Melissa Williams, a 6-1 forward, has earned a spot in Eastern's starting lineup in every game of the year. The Camas, Wash., native averages 5.6 rebounds per game to rank third on the squad. She has had four or more total rebounds in 19 of 25 games this year, including a career-high nine against Montana (Jan. 2) and again at Sac State (Feb. 4). Point guard Kylie Huerta, who averages 8.1 minutes per game, has tallied 36 points and 29 assists. Huerta was an Associated Press 4A All-State Honorable Mention and two-time South Puget Sound League North Division Player of the Year out of Kentwood High School, which is the same school that produced Gonzaga legend and current WNBA star Courtney Vandersloot, as well as Nebraska standout/two-time All-Big 12 honoree, Lindsey Moore. Kentwood is also the alma-mater of EWU men's basketball legend, Rodney Stuckey.
Eagles Impress in Near Upset of Cross-Town Rival Gonzaga - The Eastern Washington University women's basketball was just moments away from pulling off a truly inspiring upset of national power and cross-town rival Gonzaga on Dec. 9 at the McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane, Wash. After completely controlling the first half of the game, the Eagles held on to a one-point lead (69-68) with under a minute remaining. But an Eagle rebounding foul sent Naismith Trophy candidate Kayla Standish to the line with 38 ticks left on the clock. The 6-2 forward converted both free throws to give GU a narrow 70-69 edge. On Eastern's next possession, sophomore Chenise Pakootas earned a trip to the line for a chance to tie it up and possibly reclaim the lead, but she missed the front end of her one-and-one, and Standish quickly snatched the rebound. Eastern was forced to put Standish on the line again. She made her first shot, but missed the second to keep the game within a single field goal. In a fierce battle for the rebound after the missed free throw, GU's sophomore guard Haiden Palmer emerged with the ball. She was then fouled, and a similar mishap occurred when she missed her second free throw, but then corralled the offensive board. The Bulldogs went on to make three of their next four shots from the charity stripe to extend their lead to six with nine seconds left to play. Eastern tried to keep the game alive with a desperation three, but the shot was off the mark and Gonzaga came down with the rebound as time expired. Despite being the better team for much of the night, the Eagles returned to Cheney with a heartbreaking 75-69 loss. Gonzaga, the seven-time defending WCC champion, has been in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches' Poll for eight of nine weeks in the 2011-12 season.
Coop Claims All-Tournament Honors - Senior point guard Chene Cooper (Puyallup, Wash.) was named to the ASU Classic All-Tournament Team for her efforts in Eastern's two games in Tempe, Ariz., Dec 2-3. In the two games combined, Cooper averaged a combined 12.0 points, 3.5 assists and 3.5 steals. Cooper turned in one of her best performances of the season against Arkansas State, with 18 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field and a perfect 8-of-8 from the line. She also had four assists and three steals.
Ryan Lays Claim to Big Sky POW - For the first time in her already decorated career, senior Brianne Ryan (Lynden, Wash.) was selected as the Big Sky Player of the Week for games played Nov. 14 - Nov. 20. Ryan had a remarkable performance on both ends of the floor to lead Eastern to a 68-57 victory over San Diego (Nov. 17). Her all-around effort was highlighted by 30 points on 10-of-21 shooting from the floor. She scored nearly half Eastern's total points in the game to become the first player in the Big Sky this season to reach the 30-point scoring mark. In addition to putting points on the score board, Ryan also led all players on the glass with nine rebounds, and had three assists, one steal and one block.
Big Numbers for 2011-12 Campaign - At 17 players deep, the Eastern Washington University women's basketball team begins the 2011-12 season with the biggest roster in head coach Wendy Schuller's 11-year tenure. This roster includes three returning starters from 2010-11, six other returning letterwinners, two returning redshirts, one non-lettering squad member, one transfer and four freshmen.
Building Cred in the Big Sky - The Eagles are coming off their second-straight postseason appearance. In 2010, Eastern earned an automatic bid to the Big Sky Conference semifinals after winning the regular-season title. In last year's Big Sky tourney, Eastern advanced the semis again after a 77-68 victory against Montana State in the quarterfinal round, which actually marked the first postseason win for EWU since the 2004 campaign. Eastern has earned 20 Big Sky Conference wins over the past two years, which is more than the Eagles had in the previous four seasons combined. In 2009-10, EWU captured the school's first-ever Big Sky regular-season title with a 12-4 league record.
Academic Excellence - In the past 10 seasons, Eastern Washington women's basketball players have been honored 81 times on the Big Sky All-Academic list, which is the most for any women's basketball team in the league. The Eagles have also been recognized on the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Academic Top 25 Honor Roll for nine of the past 10 seasons. Eastern was among the top five academic teams in the nation in seven of those 10 years, including the 2003-04 campaign, in which the team placed first nationally with a 3.63 cumulative grade point average.
Baby Bonanza - Three of Eastern's four coaches have all had a baby in the last 18 months! Coach Schuller and her husband, Mark, had their third child, Brandon, in June 2010. Assistant coach Alison Hewa had her first child, Hannah, last January, and just a few months after arriving on the EWU campus, assistant coach Steve Lowe welcomed his first child, Harper (born Sept. 25, 2011).

Allow me to introduce Dan Jenkins, a friend who I met more than 50 years ago and whose name has been mentioned many times in past columns, mostly as a member of sportswriter's Mount Rushmore. Beats me who the other three guys were.
Our professional alliance was built on golf and college football coverage for "Sports Illustrated" in the 1960s and '70s, he, the writer, me, the editor. I've said it before but it bears repeating: editing a Jenkins story was like driving a Rolls Royce while all the other guys were stuck in their used Ford V8s.
Dan grew up in Texas, learned to love Sammy Baugh and Ben Hogan before he was 10. Was hired by the "Fort Worth Press" at the same time he started his freshman year at Texas Christian University. Captained the golf team. Covered a bunch of Masters and Opens.
In 1962, S.I. hired him and he, along with his lovely wife June and three little children, moved to New York. By day he covered golf and college football, with a bit of Olympic skiing thrown in. By night, and sometimes till dawn, he became a familiar presence at Toots Shors' or P.J. Clarke's.
His life changed when in 1972 he wrote "Semi-Tough". Suddenly he was as likely to be seen with Burt Reynolds or James Garner as with Arnold Palmer or Jack Nicklaus. Other novels followed, "Dead Solid Perfect", "Baja Oklahoma", a dozen or so. In 2012 he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
He continues covering the sport, now for "Golf Digest", and takes pride in the fact that he has been at 16 of the 18 major championships that Jack Nicklaus won. There's even a picture of Dan, age 11, trouping along with Byron Nelson and others at the 1941 U.S. Open in Fort Worth.
What's that, a picture you .say? Yes, that one and many more in Dan's latest book, "His Ownself", which will tell you a lot more about the colorful career of the man I worked with in our formative years. I offered a thumbnail sketch of his life. In the book, Dan fills in the blanks.
As I read it, I marked a few sentences or passages that show the difference between Jenkins and the rest of us who toil. To wit:
"They (the watering holes) provided a calmness and sanity to life, travel, deadlines and those occasions when an editor might mistake a machete for a pencil."
"After dinner I took out my gold Dunhill lighter, lit her cigarette, stared into her eyes and said I've got Texas with nine and a half over Syracuse in the Cotton Bowl. What do you think?"
"The brassie has become as extinct as an honest politician."
Lauding the 1930's: "Today Joaquin Phoenix wouldn't get the girl, he'd get the luggage."
Complimenting the Larry Sanders Show: "It was one of the reasons to go on living."
"Paschal High was known for its shapely adorables."
"The legal fees would have fed the Balkans for a decade."
"Is cross-country skiing a sport or how a Swede goes to the 7-Eleven?"
When Dan had bypass heart surgery: "It was supposed to be a quad but I birdied one."
"Jean-Claude Killy has the lonely, soulful, slightly tortured look that makes women 5 to 1 underdogs. You get the idea that if he had come along 25 years earlier he would have been one of those Frenchmen who stuck knives in Gestapo agents."
"I didn't like Michael Ritchie, the director. He was one of those guys who never lost a conversation."
"For three days the Masters enjoyed an inner tranquility as Billy Casper and his good friend the Lord strolled the fairways of Augusta."
That last quote was from Dan's lead in the 1967 coverage of the Masters.
Casper, a devout Mormon, had preached to a congregation early Sunday morning before his tee time.
I was the editor, sitting at my desk when the first page of the story arrived by Western Union. I didn't think we could run it. I finally let someone higher up decide.
It ran and I learned. Learned a lot over the years, editing Dan Jenkins, learning to write what you want, not what everyone thinks you should write.
Class dismissed.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The city of Spokane has been struggling to find uses for its recycled glass, as the mound of bottles and other glass has continued to pile up.
The Spokesman Review reports the city plans this summer to use some of the glass in roadbeds, but it continues to explore other options such as using crushed glass as mulch.
Across the country, other communities have struggled to make glass recycling pay off. The demand for recycled glass is low compared to recycled metal and plastic and transportation costs are steep because the material is heavy.
States like Washington and Idaho have a harder time finding a market for glass because neighboring Oregon and British Columbia require deposits for beverage bottles. States with deposit laws usually provide manufacturers with glass that's cleaner and easier to use.

Morris is specialized in Rhode Island Domestic and Divorce, RI Family Court, Child Custody, Criminal Defense, Civil Litigation, Immigration, and Personal Injury/Automobile Accidents. Law Office located in Providence RI.
Second Degree Sexual Assault: Not Guilty
After a five day jury trial in Providence Superior Court, client was found not guilty of second degree sexual assault. Attorney John MacDonald was retained by lead counsel Jason Knight to lend his expertise in trying these very difficult cases. From jury selection through closing argument, Attorneys MacDonald and Knight worked together to produce the result that the client deserved – Not Guilty.
Assault With a Dangerous Weapon: Not Guilty
Client charged with assault with a dangerous weapon (knife) when the complainant alleged that he was stabbed outside a house in Central Falls. The complainant testified with certainty that the client was the assailant. Attorney MacDonald was hired after the case had languished for nearly two years. He conducted an exhaustive investigation and located two witnesses that saw the event very differently. After a three-day jury trial, client was found not-guilty.
Campaign Violation: Dismissed
Client charged with violating Rhode Island Campaign laws by failing to note the campaign's name on flyers distributed late during a 2012 campaign contest. Attorney MacDonald moved to dismiss the charge on the grounds that Rhode Island's campaign statute is unconstitutional since it was a blanket prohibition against First Amendment protections. The Department of Attorney General agreed and the charge was dismissed. Link to Providence Journal article: Click here for article
Post Conviction Relief: Eligible to apply for cancellation of removal
Client was ordered removed based upon a 1997 possession of cocaine conviction. Client was denied the ability to apply for cancellation on this conviction due to a 1982 breaking and entering charge that constituted an aggravated felony. Attorney MacDonald filed post-conviction relief in the 1997 matter. After a full hearing, the trial judge did not render a decision for over a year. Not willing to wait, Attorney MacDonald filed post-conviction in the 1982 matter and successfully amended the sentence so that it no longer constituted an aggravated felony. Client is now eligible to re-open the removal case and apply for cancellation.
Child Support: Modification increases benefit
Attorney Morris filed a motion to register and modify a foreign judgment on mother's behalf. The purpose of this motion was to register an out-of-state judgment awarding her child support. After decree is registered in Rhode Island, modification substantially increases the amount which she is entitled to receive.
Second Degree Child Molestation: Amended to assault
Client was charged with second degree child molestation. After an extensive investigation and negotiations with attorney general, the charge was amended to simple assault for probation. Client is spared a felony sex conviction and will not required to register as a sex offender.

President Barack Obama said in an interview that aired Friday he could support the sort of immigration plan that House Republican leaders are exploring: legalization for most of the 11.5 million people in the U.S. illegally, with the opportunity—but no guarantee—of citizenship down the road.
The emerging House plan would give legal status to most illegal immigrants and then allow them to access existing pathways to legal permanent residence, also known as a green card. Those pathways include, for instance, marrying an American citizen or being sponsored by an adult child who is a citizen. Then, once someone has a green card, they can apply for citizenship.
In an interview on CNN, Mr. Obama said he could accept something along those lines.
"If the Speaker proposes something that says right away, folks aren't being deported, families aren't being separated, we're able to attract top young students to provide the skills or start businesses here and then there's a regular process of citizenship, I'm not sure how wide the divide ends up being," he said.
More In Barack Obama
Republicans are distinguishing that standard pathway to citizenship from what the Senate did, which they call a "special pathway" to citizenship because it guarantees the opportunity for a green card and then citizenship for all of those here illegally unless they are disqualified.
Mr. Obama said that he is encouraged by the work of House Speaker John Boehner, who presented a set of immigration principles to his conference on Thursday. "The fact that they're for something, I think, is progress," the president said.
He said he would be consulting with immigration rights groups and advocates to see what they could accept but hinted that a guarantee of citizenship, which some are demanding, may not be the top priority for everyday immigrant families.
"I do know that for a lot of families, the fear of deportation is one of the biggest concerns that they've got," he said.

During July, Guam celebrates the liberation of the island from the brutal occupation of the Japanese by the U.S. military in World War II.
The Liberation Carnival and the Liberation Day Parade are two of the bigger events that remind us of when Uncle Sam returned to free the Chamorro people from oppression and brutality. We should always be thankful and grateful to the brave men of the Army and Marines who spilled their blood on our shores and in our jungles.
But Liberation also is about remembering and honoring the struggles and tribulations of the Chamorro people and all they endured during the war.
Chamorros remained loyal and patriotic to the United States throughout the occupation. They kept Navy radioman George Tweed out of the hands of the Japanese, helping him escape capture despite harsh and deadly ramifications. Many kept homemade American flags hidden away, knowing they could be severely punished, tortured or killed for doing so.
Today begins the first of several memorials for the Chamorro victims of World War II and their survivors. The Manenggon Memorial Foundation is inviting all survivors of the war to attend its annual commemoration event in Yona, which will include the lighting of torches and candle, as well as a Mass celebrated by Archbishop Anthony Apuron.
There are several other events that give residents an opportunity to commemorate and honor the deaths and sacrifices of the Chamorro people:
•July 13: Chagui'an Massacre Memorial in Yigo.
s July 15: Visits to the sites of the Tinta Cave and Faha Cave massacres.
s July 19: Memorial for those slain in the Fena Massacre.
•July 20: Memorial ceremony at the Asan Bay Overlook.
As we mark the anniversary of the Liberation of Guam, remember the many Chamorros who suffered and died during World War II, and those who persevered and survived.

Lossy: mainly OGG Vorbis -5 because both my Samsung Galaxy S II and Sansa Clip+ supports this format and it's a nice format since it's opensource and have very high quality. My second choice is LAME -V2 or -V0, but I recently bought an iPad 2 16GB and for him I use qaac -80, that sounds great anyway.
Lossless: FLAC. My library use very different combinations, but mostly FLAC -8 or FLAKE -8. I want to reconvert everything to FLAKE ou FLACCL -8, but need some HDD space for that.

Video: Super K-Mart In Burlington Sells $1 Million Powerball Lottery Ticket
Burlington, NC -- The Super Kmart Express on Huffman Mill Road in Burlington is known for it's lottery winners.
"I've sold a $200,000 winner on the scratch off about 2 years [ago], and then I actually sold a $10,000 winner scratch off about a year ago," explained Susan Price, employee, Super Kmart Express. "This is the biggest we've had, the $1 million winner."
The convenience store sold a $1 million winning Powerball ticket, but the winner has not come forward.
READ: $1 Million Powerball Ticket Sold in Burlington
The winner matched all five numbers on the white balls, but missed the Powerball. Ryan Smith missed all the numbers on the white balls but got the Powerball right.
"I had this all planned out.. kind of get a team of financial advisors to deal with it because it would be such a shock for me," said Smith.
It wasn't the shock he was hoping for, but he's a winner nonetheless.
"I wish I was the million obviously, but that kind of stinks coming here and knowing that million dollar winner could have been right in front of me or behind me. Winning $4 is OK," said Smith.
It's just $4 richer, but it's a win, and it's enough to buy another ticket. For Ryan, that's all the reason he needs.
While no one in North Carolina won the big jackpot, almost 270,000 people, like Ryan, won some money buying tickets in this Powerball drawing.
The million dollar winner has 180 days to collect their prize from the lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

Spring Yoga
Spring is a time of rejuvenation. Take a walk around your block. You'll likely see spring bulbs pushing up through the ground and tightly wound buds forming on the ends of tree branches. Maybe crocuses are in full swing, or perhaps where you live, they've already come and gone. We use the expression, "spring is in the air." It's palpable! Spring yoga practice is different from a winter yoga practice. Where winter is about turning inward, spring is about coming out—blossoming, if you will. I love standing poses in spring. Think about their form—stable and expanded. I like to play with moving into them like an unfurling bloom, starting from an inward, forward folding pose and gradually opening out from my center and letting my fingers and toes extend last. What poses feel good for you right now?

I love twist's in the spring time. When I move into a twist, slowly, using my breath and working from the base of my sits bone all the way up to the crown of my head, I am working to release toxins built up during the winter. My Favorite twists include: Ardha Matsyendrasana and Marichyasana III.
