In recent years, much has been written and said about the global mission field within North America. The recent flood of immigrants, international students, and guest workers has risen to high levels. Read full report (pdf).
The North American Mission Board (NAMB) partners with the six Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) seminaries and one Canadian seminary to train church planters. The partnership was launched in 1998 and has been in place at all the seminaries since 2000. As part of the original covenant, the parties agreed to evaluate its impact. This article is based on the first of several research bulletins birthed from a study undertaken by the Center for Missional Research at the North American Mission Board.
This report examines population and population changes in the United States and compares them to the changes in Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) churches and resident membership for the years 1990 and 2000. This information is examined at the national level, by the four census regions of the country, by the nine census divisions, and by states.
One out of every eight worship service attendees in a Southern Baptist congregation is lost. In the U.S. Congregational Life survey, churches and participants were selected to be representative of these worship service attendees
CMR shared data with 11 denominations and networks to survey more than 2,000 new churches planted from 2000 to 2005. We were able to determine the status of 1,000 of them and phone interviewed 500 of them. We found that the survivability rate of the church plants in our study was 68 percent after four years—and this was similar in all denominations.
We found that realistic expectations were a significant determining factor of success. When the church planter's expectations meet the reality of the church planting experience, the chance of survivability increases by over 400 percent. Of those who said their expectations were realized, 87 percent of their churches survived compared to only 61 percent of church plants survived among those who did not have their expectations met. It is evident that a realistic picture of the joys and difficulties surrounding church planting is beneficial for both the church plant and the church planter.
Why do some church plants experience higher attendance while others struggle to attract people? Are there commonalities among those with higher than average attendance that can be replicated in different settings? A recent study by the Center for Missional Research of twelve denominations or networks provides the answer as a resounding "yes."
Buildings, baptisms, and budgets-the benchmarks most people use to evaluate church health. But are these the best measures? There are many who question which is most appropriate, but we wanted to see church plants that are reaching the lost through conversions. In most cases for denominations in our study, that was measured in baptisms
This summer, the Center for Missional Research partnered with Zogby International to conduct a poll of 1,210 adults. Respondents were asked if their impression of Southern Baptists is very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable, or very unfavorable. Some respondents said they were not familiar with Southern Baptists and others were not sure of their impressions.
Yesterday: People would say "That's my bank on the corner of First and Main, and directly across from it is First Baptist Church, where we have been members since we moved here thirty years ago. The college is up on the hill, our hospital is about a half-mile to the west, and our doctor has his office in that building over there."
The news is out! According to the most recent census information released on August 15, the face of the United States is changing. CNN's headline for the U.S. proclaimed, "Explosion of diversity sweeps U.S." The New York Times, referring to New York City said, "Immigrant Numbers Swell New York." The Atlanta-Journal Constitution wrote of a local county, "Immigrants Transform Gwinnett." These recent stories reflect the missional opportunities that exist among this ever-expanding population within our country.
The 50 largest metropolitan areas in the United States are examined in this report. Recent trends in the growth of population, Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) churches, and resident membership of SBC churches are presented and contrasted. Finally, baptisms and baptism ratios per 1,000 population are provided.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner has endorsed labor advocate Myrtle Cole in the District 4 City Council runoff election that is set for May 21.
Word of the endorsement broke on social media Monday after Filner announced his support of Cole during the annual Cesar Chavez Day march through downtown San Diego. Cole's campaign later confirmed that Filner had agreed to support her on Friday. A formal announcement is expected next week.
Cole is vying with LGBT leader Dwayne Crenshaw to replace Tony Young, who resigned Jan. 1 to head the local chapter of the American Red Cross. Cole and Crenshaw finished first and second in the crowded March 26 special election to advance to the runoff.
Filner and Cole are both Democrats with strong ties to the labor movement. Unions spent millions to help Filner win the mayor's race last year and more than $80,000 to help Cole in the special election.
The election is being consolidated with another special election to fill a San Diego-area state Assembly seat.
Democrats Lorena Gonzalez, a labor leader from San Diego, and Steve Castaneda, a former Chula Vista councilman, are the only two candidates in that race.
District 4 covers eastern and southeastern San Diego neighborhoods.

The washcloth is a four layer muslin cloth that will become softer with each wash, making it extremely suitable for that special tiny, delicate baby in your life.
Swaddling, a worldwide, centuries-old tradition, has a natural ability to recreate the warm and cozy feeling of the womb, due to the self regulating properties and gentle feel of the 100% cotton muslin.

Used by ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman societies, this fabric has stood the test of time with its ever-increasing softness and strength and remains forever trusted by those who use it to warm, protect, and comfort their precious little ones.

Even the fussiest of babies will seem to sleep better once swaddled in this amazing line of muslin products.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman says basketball coach Jeff Bzdelik will be back for a fourth season.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Wellman re-affirmed his support for Bzdelik and said he is "very encouraged about the future of our program."
The Demon Deacons have had three straight losing seasons and no postseason tournament appearances under Bzdelik. He is 34-60 overall and 11-42 against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents.
This year's young team went 13-18 with upset wins over No. 2 Miami and No. 18 North Carolina State with a roster that had only three available non-freshmen on scholarship.
More than 60 percent of the team's minutes were played by freshmen and Wellman says the Demon Deacons "are going to reap the benefits of that foundation."

Everyday Elegance!
It's a beautiful necklace that really sparkles. I love the fact that I can double it or wear it long. The chain seems substantial.

Elegant chain
The chain is reminiscent of an elegant Edwardian necklace. I bought the 40" chain and double it. I wear it with a pear shaped sapphire necklace and the effect is lovely. It is easily worn with casual or formal attire. The sterling is luminous because of the cut metal work. The diamonds are so small as not to be easily seen with out magnification. However, this is not a showstopper since the overall beauty of the chain far outweighs the presence of diamonds. It is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry.

What a geat deal.
I liked this very much right out of the box. It was heavy and shiney, and yet when I put it on it moved perfectly, "airy and elegant" describes it accurately. With the multitude of tiny diamonds going all the way up the chain, you don't have to worry about always checking the center, yet you just feel the presence of a well made peice of jewelry.

This is a lovely layering piece that has the look of a family heirloom. I wear the 24" layered with a doubled 40" of the same design on turtleneck or jewel neck tops and they look elegant together.

Vollmer did something many of us have either done or considered doing: leaving your car running so it warms up while you quickly run inside.
But instead of saving this driver time, it ended up costing her.
"I came out, I started my car because it was subzero in the car, and went back in to get some paperwork and grab a few things. Came back out and I looked, and it was gone," said Vollmer.
She says it's a crime that happened in flash.
"It's just that few minutes when you got your mind on something else, that's the opportunity that thieves will take just in a few minutes," said Vollmer.
The thief also got her house key that was on her key ring, so Vollmer had to change the locks.
Now she wants all of us to learn from her mistake.
"You have to stay alert, even if it's only for five minutes, even if you think 'oh it can't happen in three minutes or one minute,' it can. It can happen," said Vollmer.
Vollmer also wants to remind people that it's a crime of opportunity. Someone may not plan on stealing your car, but will since it's an easy target, or if they are simply looking for a warm place.
Vollmer says an officer told her Wednesday night that in just a two-hour span, four other cars that were puffing were also stolen.
A quick reminder: it's actually illegal in Colorado to leave your car while it's running. It may mean your car is a little colder when you get in, but at least you still have it.
Vollmer says her SUV is a pewter-colored Trailblazer with a license plate number 151 GUZ.
If you know anything about this theft, call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

This White Zetsu clone is a subordinate of Madara Uchiha and was assigned to aid Obito Uchiha alongside White Zetsu during the young Uchiha's rehabilitation.
He was one of many Zetsu clones created using the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Hashirama's living clone.[3] Serving as one of Madara Uchiha's loyal minions and spies, he met and befriended Obito shortly after the latter was saved by Madara being designated the task of making sure the young Uchiha was of use to Madara when he woke up. He, along with White Zetsu, enjoyed annoying and teasing Obito about things such as what he murmured in his sleep and bodily functions. Over time, the duo became friends with the young Uchiha.[4]
Months into Obito's rehabilitation, White Zetsu returned to the underground base and urgently alerted Obito that he saw Kakashi and Rin being cornered by Kirigakure shinobi while he was outside. Resolved to save his friends, Obito tried to break the huge stone blocking the exit in an effort to escape, but destroyed his artificial arm, only cracking the wall in the process. Seeing how desperate Obito was, the spiral-patterned Zetsu noted that his limbs were not strong enough to break through stone yet, and offered himself as a suit of sorts for Obito to wear in order to make it to the surface. Although Obito was skeptical about whether they had permission to help, White Zetsu noted that it would be fine.[4]
Attaching itself to the living clone in order to access the power of the Demonic Statue, Spiral Zetsu is able to break the rock barring the passage way. Opening up itself to form a hood of sorts, the pair mobilise with Spiral Zetsu giving directions to the young Uchiha. While en route, the clone offers to fight in Obito's stead seeing the young man as weaker than himself. When this offer is refused, Spiral Zetsu informs Obito of the added benefit of the access he now had to Hashirama Senju's DNA because of his artificial limbs. Pointing Obito towards the location where giant bodies of water is being displaced, the clone and Obito arrive to find Kakashi's hand run through Rin's chest.[5]
After Obito and the clone witness Rin's death, Spiral Zetsu witnesses as Obito slaughters the opposition using a combination of Kamui and Wood Release — the latter of which the clone marvelled that the young man could already use, stating that he now understood why Madara had chosen the young Uchiha.[6]
When first meeting Obito, Spiral Zetsu was playful and enjoyed teasing him about things such as what he murmured in his sleep. He was also very curious about bodily functions as they had no need for them. Although Obito was initially greatly annoyed by the pair, the two befriended each other during the former's rehabilitation. He believes that the Eye of the Moon Plan is good for mankind, and sees Madara as a benevolent man. He is also kind-hearted, as shown when he and White Zetsu decide to help Obito without Madara's permission. Because he does not carry out normal bodily functions, he is very curious to know about the mechanics behind them.[7]
Spiral Zetsu is fully white and can be easily distinguished by the spiral-pattern that stretches all over ending in a circular eye-hole. This pattern does not cover his forearms and legs, but can open up in a similar manner to the fly-trap extensions of the original Zetsu to reveal that the clone is hollow inside. This Zetsu shows no visible orifices at all, but has a fully defined body.
As a clone, Spiral Zetsu is presumed to have the standard abilities all clones normally possess. Spiral Zetsu and White Zetsu also claim to have a vocabulary and brain that surpasses that of a human's.[8] Being an artificial human created from Hashirama's cells, he can survive without food or water and needs to carry out no normal bodily functions.[9]
Spiral Zetsu has also displayed the ability to open up his top half entirely, and use himself as a suit of sorts to encase someone in.[10] By attaching itself to Hashirama's living clone and using the power of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Spiral Zetsu was also able to greatly augment his strength to the point that he was able to destroy a boulder with just a single punch.[11]
Nature Transformation
As an artificial human, created through the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path using Hashirama Senju's DNA, Spiral Zetsu has access to Wood Release, albeit on a much weaker scale than Hashirama himself.[12]

Kelly from the Austin Humane Society sent the 411 on the 'Big Adoption' tomorrow/Saturday 7/27 starting up @ noon! Get all the details and give Turtle and his friends a nice new home, or help them find new homes. Spread the word!
Adoption Event Saturday for Rescued Dogs
Line Expected to form EARLY -- Adoptions Start at Noon
WHAT: Adoption event for dogs rescued from a rural Central Texas property.
WHEN: Saturday, July 27 Doors open at Noon
WHERE: Austin Humane Society
124 W. Anderson Lane , Austin, TX 78752
More 411 on the Big Adoption Day for Turtle and Friends:
Two dozen of the 30 dogs rescued earlier this week from a rural property in Central Texas will be available for adoption.
"From the moment we saw these dogs, we knew they would make wonderful, loving companions," says Frances Jonon, AHS Executive Director. "They're doing great and ready to be part of a family. It's a wonderful feeling to play a role in giving these animals the kind of homes they deserve."
The dogs are a mix of Hound, Labrador Retriever, and Shepherd. The puppies range in age from six weeks to six months old, and the adult dogs are three years to five years old. All have received veterinary care from AHS, and veterinarians have released 24 of the dogs for adoption. Their adoption fees include vaccinations, flea and tick treatment, dewormer, a microchip, and spay or neuter surgery. Another mother dog and her five puppies are enjoying the comforts of foster care, and will be available for adoption in the coming weeks.
A line is expected to form before the event, so potential adopters are encouraged to show up early. Shelter doors open at noon (124 W. Anderson Lane in North Austin). Potential adopters will be required to fill out an adoption application, and screenings will proceed as normal. Adoption counselors will be on hand to assist.
Side note: Make sure you do not leave your dogs/cats/pets in a hot car even w/ the window cracked in 100 plus degrees does nothing. The same goes for leaving them outside w/no shade and fresh water. Just remember if it's to hot for you, it's definitely too hot for them. Click here for the signs of heat stroke.

Colorado Springs police are investigating alleged threats they learned about through a third party.
The alleged threat referred to the Newtown, Connecticut shooting, but did not name a specific school in Colorado Springs.
Police say once they got the information, they alerted school security officers about the alleged threat.
Police say a flier about the threat that was sent out to people was not authorized. They don't know who sent it out. 11 News viewers say they saw the flier. It has a picture of a man and talks about the alleged threat.
Police tell 11 News any threat is taken seriously, but they do not have enough information to substantiate the claim. They are still investigating.

What fun holidays are there in April? For some reason the only thing that jumps to mind is TAXES. I'm sure this has NOTHING to do with the fact I've spent just about my entire day - every day for weeks trying to get our corporate taxes finished (and my personal to some extent - which can't be done until corporate are done). Because certainly, I have nothing better to do. I don't have, I don't know, a company to run. And I certainly don't have a game to run.
...But I'm sure all the people who do have to do corporate taxes but DON'T have a company to run have plenty of time, so good for them!
Now, all I need to do to is think of some good prizes, some appropriate cards for Tax Prep week... OH, I KNOW!
To be a participant, just duel on 5 of the 7 days in a week (that's once per day on 5 days), starting Monday the 11th through the following Sunday. Make sure your duel goes over 10 turns. Do that, and you get POINT CARDS and a fixed prize. Complete 10 or more duels, and you get the extra prize!
Participation prize - Exchange of Souls
Duel 10 total times for an extra prize - Plundering Girl Pirate
The twist - Guild Extra
Next week, during rankings, all members of the number one and two guilds for the week will get 5 Point cards!

A new report shows rising sales and a smaller supply of available homes is driving up home prices.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 6.8 percent in December compared with the same month a year ago. That's up from a 5.5 percent annual gain in November.
Nationwide, the report says prices rose 7.3 percent in 2012. That is similar to other home price measures that show a healthy gain last year.
Prices also rose in December compared with a year ago in 19 of the 20 cities tracked by the index. New York was the only metro area to show a decrease.

Even while he was trying to diminish expectations, Peyton Manning couldn't have envisioned this scene playing out.
Three times, the Broncos quarterback dropped back to pass. Three times, he threw into a seam near the numbers down the right side of the field.
Three times, a defensive back followed Manning's eyes, cut over and turned whatever small opening the quarterback had seen into an interception.
All that in the first quarter alone of what turned into a 27-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons -- matching the most turnover-riddled quarter the 15-year veteran had played as a pro.
Asked after the game if the interceptions had more to do with his surgically repaired neck or his decision making, Manning wasted no time.
"Decision making," he said.

The conclusion….
06. The X-Files
The only entry that's not a kids show or an animation. The X-Files is in all honesty one of the most influential tv shows I grew up on. A sci-fi/supernatural drama revolving around two FBI agents that investigate series of paranormal activities. The debated theories of the existence of extraterrestrial life used to scare the hell out of me, but watching Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully go to town and kick ass made the idea more exciting to ponder.
There were so many memorable episodes – it's a must own on DVD. The main story throughout the first few seasons involved Fox (David Duchovny) attempting to prove that aliens are indeed real, and are also responsible for several abductions – including that of his sister. Who went missing, and was presumed dead years prior to the program.
However, it was the filler episodes that really kept me watching. A generic story of a monster/evil mutant/virus/crazy person terrorising a small town (labelled by fans as 'Monster of The Week' episodes), and Mulder & Scully (Gillian Anderson) are called to investigate. Yeah, generic, but the monsters were really unique every week and often brought a hint of a sympathetic nature. Still, although not a part of the main story, there was further exposition into Mulder's beliefs and Scully's near-infinite scrutiny surrounding them – not to mention the development of their close friendship and dependence on each other.
The series is a cult phenomenon and has been the bar for many supernatural and sci-fi shows since its end in 2002. During the last few seasons, David Duchovny only appeared in a recurring role, while Scully and their superior AD Walter Skinner became the focal characters. In my opinion, it took a dip – Mulder IS The X-Files. He's the engine behind the whole series. So to take it away, what would happen? Moan aside, The X-Files did so much for me its ridiculous. It was the first drama I ever watched week after week without missing an episode, and is still on rotation in my DVD collection.
05. Knightmare
Aww yeah. This is what I'm talking about! Motherfuckin' KNIGHTMARE! A UK show broadcast on ITV during after-school hours combining elements of fantasy, knights, goblins, puzzles, computer generated imagery, and saucy elf maidens. Well that last one was slightly misleading…
A lone 'Dungeoneer' is given a quest to rescue a person of interest or retrieve an item or relic of importance by Dungeon Master Treguard – who spoke almost all the time in a Shakespearean manner, which was pure awesomeness. However, the Dungeoneer has little to no vision due to the obscuring helmet they must place upon their bonce. A team of 3 friends of the Dungeoneer, normally around 12-16, would then have to guide him/her through the computer generated world created on-screen, as they travel through various rooms, mazes and walkways. Won't go too in-depth with this one…
It's great fun to watch some of the retarded kids on there who just cause massive amounts of shit for the Dungeoneer. Has me laughing my arse off half the time. Noah Antwiler (Aka Spoony) did a review on Knightmare a while back. Do check that out on YouTube. It declined in popularity by its eighth series and ended in 1994😦
A revival is still being petitioned by fans…
A load of blokes… Check. Sweet vehicles with guns n shit… Check. Odd-looking helmets which still kick butt…. Ding ding ding ding!
3. Thundercats
So, here's the top 3. At 3rd place, it's Thundercats. Why? You idiots… Because it's Thundercats. Awesome theme music, bad-ass characters, amazing manga-style animation, and probably the show with the best base of operations 'The Cats' Lair'. Fucking A.
The premise is that the Thundercats are a group of alien refugees from the planet Thundera. When the planet is destroyed the group travel to Earth, or Third Earth, can't remember – and set up home as thus. But the evil, nearly naked and undead nasty-doer 'Mumm-Ra' is on a course to take over the world. Adequately, the Thundercats are tooled up and take his ass out week after week. No biggie.
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
If there's one thing that ruled my childhood, it was the Turtles. I lived, breathed, ate, slept and drank Turtles from the moment I first watched the show. Every Saturday morning, I'd run downstairs, place myself right in front of the TV, turned up the volume, and sat in silence for approximately 20 minutes. I was comatose throughout, loving every single bit that flashed across the screen.
From the heroes themselves to the genius villain The Shredder, every aspect of the show was perfection. I wanted the toys, I got them. I wanted the vehicles, I got them. Hell I even dressed up as a Turtle on Christmas Day one year – that's how fucking dedicated I was. In all admittance – I can proudly say I was a hardcore Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. No other part of pop culture has had such as a profound impact on me as this.
01. Batman: The Animated Series
I chose Batman: TAS over Turtles as my number one because of one thing… Staying power. This cartoon was first broadcast around 1992, after the overwhelming popularity attained by Tim Burton's Batman movies – from which it is greatly inspired by.
This show is considered the ultimate depiction of Batman in media other than comic books. It's still as impressive and very timeless in terms of theme, tone and animation. Possibly THE best animated program of the entire decade.
This clip is not from the original series, but from the feature-length film 'Return Of The Joker'. It encapsulates everything that made the show brilliant.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) - A shooting was reported on the Purdue West Lafayette Campus around noon on Tuesday.
Immediately after, officials at Purdue sent out an emergency alert to students by text.
The message read, "Shooting reported on campus; Avoid area; Shelter in place."
But some students enrolled at IPFW received that warning and thought they needed to take cover in Fort Wayne.
"The first text just said there was a shooter. It didn't specify which campus," said IPFW student, Keith Jenkins.
IPFW officials quickly realized there was confusion among students and sent out another alert about fifteen minutes after the first one.
"We issued a clarification alert to the IPFW campus to make sure that students, faculty, and staff knew that there wasn't an active shooter situation on IPFW's campus," said Chief Communications Officer, Nicole Wilkins.
Wilkins adds that even though the emergency alert system didn't work as smoothly as possible today, it's a tool that all students should have to stay informed and safe.

STARKVILLE, Miss.,- Bitter rivals Mississippi State and Ole Miss will meet for the 106th time on the gridiron for the annual renewing of the Egg Bowl at 11:21 a.m. at Davis Wade Stadium.The Bulldogs hope the trend remains intact as the home team has come out on top in each of the last five meetings and nine of the last 10. MSU took the last meeting in Starkville with 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter for the 17-14 victory.The Rebels hold the series advantage 60-39-6 and also lead in games held at Scott Field 20-11-3. The series is tied 9-9 since the series returned to campus sites in 1991. The last two Egg Bowl games have also resulted in the resignation of the losing coach the following day.Ole Miss has had the Golden Egg Trophy housed in Oxford for a year after their 45-0 shutout over the Bulldogs last season. The Rebels jumped out to an early 24-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back en route to 461 yards and holding State to only 37 for the day and sacking the quarterback 11 times. ...More...

According to ProPublica.org : The entertainment industry made $5,579,819 in contributions to US Senators, with an average contribution of $55,798. The $88,900 I took from them is $33,102 more than the average senator.
SOPA and PIPA are two poorly conceived bills in the US House and Senate, respectively, that were written to address issues regarding content theft and piracy.
Don't see your representative? Data out of date?
We're working on it! This site was quickly built off a few datasets; when important data is missing, we had to hide that person. We're hoping to re-enable everyone soon!
Would it surprise you to know that, during the 2010 Election Cycle, I accepted at least $88,900 in contributions from members of the Entertainment industry, who are leading the push to have these bills hastily approved.?
And hey - how does the campaign money I was legally required to report is compare to all the steak dinners my lobbyist friends take me out to. Do you think they take me on many fancy golf vacations too?
I've ignored the advice and warnings of hundreds of experts in Constitutional Law, Free Speech and Technology. Do you think I'll listen to *you*?

Notice the lack of Political Party affiliations on this site. This was by design.
Free speech is a fundamental concept to the history and laws of the United States. When it comes to campaign contributions, elected officials in all parties have skirted ethics and morals.
The best government money can buy is not a good government at all.
The sad truth is that politicians like money. That's why Campaign Finance Reform is such a hot -- and important -- topic.
Citizens shouldn't have to compete for representation with lobbyists who funnel cash through PACs and "intermediaries" or "bundlers" -- elected officials should be working for the people, not the wealthy.
A single person can't compete with the hundreds of thousands of lobbyist dollars that candidates typically receive, but together we might be able to.
If you tweet at a Senator or Representative with the hashtag #buythevote, we'll start tracking it. We'll keep a running tally of how many people want their representatives to give back lobbyist dollars before their vote. We'll also track the total number of people and dollars offered to congresspeople for them to represent people, not lobbyists.

Boys basketball notebook: GW hasn't taken step backward
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- There was a question at the start of the season if George Washington would remain among the state's elite teams.
The Patriots, who advanced to the Class AAA championship game each of the past two seasons, returned only one of their top six players - all-state guard and player of the year candidate Luke Eddy - and were primed for a possible letdown, especially playing in the cutthroat Mountain State Athletic Conference.
But GW (13-4) has stayed in the top 10 of the state rankings, riding the efforts of Eddy, who leads the league in scoring at 27.9 points per game.
The Patriots' only losses have come to No. 1 South Charleston, No. 3 Woodrow Wilson, No. 9 Huntington and rival Capital by one point in their opener.
"[The difference now] is we don't have any margin for error,'' said GW coach Rick Greene. "With most teams, if we play and do what we can do, we can be competitive. Sometimes we get into deep teams, the more athletic teams, and we just don't have enough firepower.
"I wouldn't say we're with the elite guys. We're kind of clumped up with everybody else after you go South Charleston, Beckley, Huntington and Martinsburg. No disrespect to anybody else, but those four on a given night are really, really good. All four of those would give us trouble, but maybe we would be competitive with everybody else I've seen at this point.''
Looking out for No. 1
Some teams - and some coaches in particular - shy away from possibly being ranked No. 1 in their class in The Associated Press state poll.
They don't want the extra attention the designation receives from opponents all too eager to knock off the top dog.
South Charleston, however, isn't like most. Coach Vic Herbert doesn't crave the top ranking, but he doesn't hide from it, either. The Black Eagles (16-1) have been No. 1 in AAA the past three weeks.
"I think it's good for the community,'' Herbert said, "and it's good for the school and it's good for our players. A lot of pride is taken in that, and I like it. But that 'X' on our back is made that much bigger because of being No. 1.
"Don't think for a second that people don't know our streak in this league [the MSAC]. We're getting everybody's best shot. Everybody comes to play, and we've got to come to play every single night.''
South Charleston will be gunning for its 40th straight win in an MSAC game when it visits Capital Tuesday.
Some of the Black Eagles players are getting used to being the target at which other teams in AAA are shooting.
"That's a building block,'' said senior guard Rashaud Kincaid. "We know we're everybody's biggest game. We just try to go out and play every game like we're No. 8 or No. 7. It doesn't matter what rank we are. We don't worry about that. We just try to play as hard as we can and get the job done.''
Confidence takes no HIT
Buffalo coach Chuck Elkins was upbeat following Saturday night's buzzer-beater loss to St. Marys in the Division I finals of the West Virginia Hometown Invitational Tournament in Summersville.
Andrew Cosper launched in an off-balance 18-footer as time expired to give the Blue Devils a 63-61 victory in a matchup of top-10 Class A teams.
Elkins, whose team saw a six-game win streak halted, felt like his team would gain confidence and not a hangover from the heartbreaking loss.
"There's going to be no hangover,'' Elkins said with a chuckle. "It's Charleston Catholic coming up on Tuesday. We'll come back to practice Monday ready to play and give it our best shot.''
Elkins noted that the final three rounds of the Division I HIT - an in-season tournament for 16 single-A public schools - mirrored the schedule for the upcoming state tournament.
Buffalo (15-2) beat Richwood on Wednesday, No. 10 Valley on Friday and lost to No. 7 St. Marys (16-3) on Saturday in a back-and-forth game.
"If we make it to the state tournament,'' Elkins said, "it's the same format in Charleston. Single-A games are Wednesday and double-A Thursday. It's something that's preparing you for the end of he season. It gets you ready for the state tournament. St. Marys is about as good a test as you can get.''
St. Marys coach Mark Barnhart was also pleased with the way things turned out regarding the third annual event.
"I think this has been good for us to get to do this in February,'' Barnhart said. "As the season closes down, it's great to get this kind of competition as you near your sectional tournament. And we're in a very good sectional, we believe, and a very tough regional.''
Barnhart and his players were complimentary of Buffalo, a team they normally wouldn't see during the regular season.
"I was really impressed with how fast they are to the basketball,'' Barnhart said. "This, I believe, was a very good Class A basketball game. Charlie's team is very good. I never doubted they were good, and nothing changed my mind tonight.''
Cosper said going against a quality team such as the Bison at this point in the season should help the Blue Devils down the tournament road.
"They are definitely very good,'' Cosper said. "They're very fast and they play an up-tempo game, and that's what we like to do, too.
"I think it's going to help our team. We know we have some things we've got to work on. They got some offensive rebounds on us, and we have to work on that. We have to work on our press break and our zone offense a little bit. It's a good win for us, I think.''
Greg Crist, the former Midland Trail coach who serves as president of the HIT, said Saturday the tournament could expand next season. He's hopeful of adding teams such as Williamstown and Wirt County to the field.
The HIT staged its grand finale again at the Summersville Arena and Conference Center, with two games featuring smaller Division II schools on Friday night and eight on Saturday between the 16 teams in Division I (see results, Page 2B).
Prior to that, the other rounds were held on home courts of the higher-seeded teams.
Last year's final day in Summersville was mostly wiped out by snow. Buffalo won the title over East Hardy in a game held several days later in Elkins.

President Obama said Thursday he picked Jack Lew to be Treasury secretary because his vast experience and even temperament will help him negotiate budget battles with Congress and continue rebuilding the economy.
"A lot of work remains, especially to build a strong middle class," Obama said in unveiling the Lew nomination during a brief White House ceremony.
Lew, the current White House chief of staff and former budget director for Obama, said in a brief statement he looks forward to "the challenges ahead."
Obama chose Lew to replace Timothy Geithner, whom the president said would go down in history as "one of our finest secretaries of the Treasury."
Geithner returned the praise, saying Obama inherited "the worst crisis in generations" when he took office in 2009, and "saved the global economy."
In praising Lew, Obama noted that he helped forge a new Social Security plan in 1983 while an aide to House Speaker Tip O'Neill, D-Mass., and he produced a balanced budget while budget director for President Clinton in the late 1990s.
The White House ceremony also featured jokes about Lew's remarkably poor penmanship -- something of an issue because the Treasury secretary's signature appears on all U.S. currency.
Obama said Lew promised to improve his legibility "in order not to debase our currency."
The Treasury secretary and the rest of Obama's economic team face three big budget battles in the next three months with congressional Republicans:
• The parties are still trying to negotiate a debt-reduction deal to head off a series of automatic budget cuts set to take effect in March. The so-called sequester -- including popular defense and domestic programs -- was delayed two months as part of the "fiscal cliff" agreement on New Year's Day. That agreement dealt with taxes.
• The government's authority to borrow money to pay its bills - the "debt ceiling" - is expected to expire in two months or so. Some Republicans said they won't support an increase in the debt ceiling without corresponding budget cuts.
• The continuing resolution to fund the government expires May 27. The parties must negotiate an extension or face the prospect of another government shutdown.
While Lew is considered a good bet for confirmation, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, said he would try to block the nomination. Sessions cited Lew's congressional testimony in 2011 that Obama's plans would not add to a federal debt that now tops $16 trillion.
"His testimony before the Senate Budget Committee less than two years ago was so outrageous and false that it alone disqualifies," Sessions said.
Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said he wants Lew to "outline the administration's plans on tackling our unsustainable debt, what areas of federal spending should be cut, and what kind of reforms -- from our tax code to our entitlement programs -- are needed to get our fiscal house in order."
The Lew nomination is the latest move in a Cabinet shuffle that precedes the start of Obama's second term on Jan. 20.
Others who are departing the Obama administration: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson.
Obama has nominated Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to replace Clinton at State, and former senator Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., to replace Panetta at the Pentagon. The president has also tapped counterterrorism aide John Brennan for CIA director to replace David Petraeus, who resigned in November over an extramarital affair.
Attorney General Eric Holder, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki will remain at their posts, officials said.
Obama has not yet made new selections for the Labor Department and the EPA.
And, with the promotion of Lew, he will need a new chief of staff as well.

Hi, If at all possible I humbly request that this this map redone/redrawn at 2000x1500 or 4000x3000 pixels (which ever you prefer). If you choose to undertake this mighty (but probably trivial to anyone who isn't me) undertaking keep in mind that you don't need to get it exactly right, just get the coastline, islands and mountains in roughly the same spot and keep the plains/green areas roughly the same.
Feel free to use any style you wish, however this one: [Award Winner] My atlas style in PS is preferred (it's simple and I can probably just add some brushes to it later). I'd also like it in .png format if possible, or what ever lossless image format you care to use.
I look forward to hearing from you, all the best, and thanks for reading this even if you aren't interested.
PS. I'm terrible at photoshop (outside of using brushes) and hand drawing. Please help.
Seems good so far...!!!

- Nebo U.S. Army TAC-110Z Flashlight
No color filters...no separate heads...and no extra attachments. The Nebo U.S. Army TAC-110Z Flashlight offers 3 vibrant colors all in one convenient, compact flashlight. One color changing LED switches from white to green to red with the touch of the glow-in-the-dark On/Off button. The white setting produces 110 Lumens of bright white light and is best used for all around purposes.
Because the human eye recognizes the color green faster than other colors, green light is best used for map reading or signaling, especially in low light conditions. Also perfect for hunting as the eye sight of most wild animals is least sensitive to the color green by adaptation.
The red LED is a low-signature light, which ensures stealth in the dark. It is used to enhance night vision. Red light works well with night vision scopes and goggles since it does not interfere with night vision technology and is not visible to the human eye over long distances. Providing great contrast on maps and charts, the red LED is a necessity for any pilot, vehicular operator or other specialists who need to preserve night vision when reading charts, maps and checklists. The red LED makes reading in little or no light possible.
This flashlight has a 4X adjustable beam that works with any light setting to change the TAC-110Z from a flood light to illuminate everything within a 20 yard distance, or to a spot light and counter-clockwise for flood light.
The TAC-110Z's ergonomic textured handle keeps this light secure in the palm of your hand. A lanyard is also included for convenient carrying of this flashlight. The TAC-110Z is water-resistant, constructed of aircraft-grade anodized aluminum to ensure that this flashlight is Army Strong.
