Oklahoma basketball: Sooners have some things to build on
NORMAN — After making the NCAA Tournament just three years after the program hit unsteady ground and two years after a new coach was hired, Oklahoma could have sat back.
The Sooners could have been complacent, showed their tired side or celebrated just making it to 20 wins.
Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger doesn't think any one of those attitudes contributed to the Sooners' late-season slide — but maybe a combination of all three did.
"Once you kind of get to that point where you've earned an NCAA bid — certainly that was the goal and we talked about at that point about, 'Well let's not be satisfied with that.'" Kruger said last week. "If that was a part of it, it certainly wasn't intentional on their part."
Intentional or not, the Sooners ended the season on a three-game losing streak — only their second multiple-game losing streak of the season. It started when Oklahoma thought it was going to beat TCU, the Big 12's worst team, only to see Sam Grooms' 3-pointer miss at the buzzer. Then came the late-game stretch where no Sooner hit a basket against Iowa State in the Big 12 Tournament. Then the music to their Big Dance ended almost before a chorus could be written, when senior Romero Osby got no help but still tried to carry the team in an NCAA Tournament loss to San Diego State.
"They practiced hard and they wanted to win a tournament game and that didn't happen," Kruger said. "They really played good basketball in February, and then certainly didn't finish playing good basketball.
"We'll learn from that and take big steps."
Even bigger ones are need thanks to the void left by three graduating starters and the departure to the NBA Draft of junior Amath M'Baye.
Players who redshirted this season — like C.J. Cole, D.J. Bennett and Ryan Spangler — will be called upon greatly, especially to rebuild Oklahoma's now desolate post game.
After all of his years of rebuilding, Kruger, wasn't quite sure that the way this season ended for Oklahoma is the difference between a newly rebuilt team and one that has been rebuilt for years.
"Certainly our culture was not such that it was to the point of expecting that to happen," Kruger said. "If we'd been doing this for a few years and going to the tournament for a few years, it's a totally different culture. And that's what we hope to achieve at some point — that you get to that point where just getting to the NCAA Tournament is not at all the goal but playing as long as you possibly can in the tournament."
Although the humble Sooners coach won't come out and say it, he smiled when asked if when he accepted the position two years he thought this is where this team would be.
"Oh anytime you take over, if you make the tournament you take that and call it all in," Kruger said. "No question."
But despite the season-ending collapse, the 20-win season and making their first NCAA Tournament since Blake Griffin patrolled Lloyd Noble Center, the Sooners took other important things from this season, Kruger said.
"One of the things they said when we first took over the program was 'We want to be significant on campus. We want to be significant in conference play. We want to carry ourselves differently.' And they've done that," Kruger said.
In a two-year period, with the help of workhorse Osby and the dedication of the rest of the squad, Oklahoma's crowds grew, and students and others around campus began to look at and respect what the team was trying to do, Kruger said.
To him, it was progress.

OFHEO's Risk-Based Capital Stress Test:
Incorporating New Business Is Not Advisable
GAO-02-521: Published: Jun 28, 2002. Publicly Released: Jun 28, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8678
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed whether the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) should incorporate new business assumptions into the stress test used to establish risk-based capital requirements. The stress test is designed to estimate, for a 10-year period, how much capital the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) would be required to hold to withstand potential economic shocks, such as sharp movements in interest rates or adverse credit conditions. Incorporating new business assumptions into the stress test would mean specifying details about the types and quality that would be acquired during the 10-year stress period, the types of funding that would be used to acquire such mortgages, and other operating and financial strategies that would be implemented by Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's managements. GAO found that data for the enterprises show that new business conducted over a 10-year period accounts for a large share of their on- and off-balance sheet holdings of assets and liabilities at the end of each 10-year period. Because new business represents such a large share of enterprise holdings over time, it would have a major impact on the enterprises' financial condition, risks, and capital adequacy in the face of stressful events. However, determining the appropriate new business assumptions to include in the model would be difficult and inherently speculative. with OFHEO having to develop plausible scenarios for how enterprise management and the market would respond in a stressful environment. OFHEO can use supervisory review, which includes examination of the enterprises' ongoing business activities and enforcement actions, and should work in conjunction with the capital requirement to help ensure the safety and soundness of the enterprises.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Office of Federal Housing Enterprises Oversight (OFHEO), the regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, has chosen a course of regulatory action that is consistent with our recommendation, which was designed to ensure efficient oversight of the two large government sponsored enterprises (GSE). Based on work mandated by Congress on the substantive issue of whether to incorporate new business assumptions, we, and subsequently the Congressional Budget Office, recommended that OFHEO not incorporate new business assumptions into the stress test the agency uses to establish risk-based capital standards for the GSEs. Prior to OFHEO's establishment, the Department of Housing and Urban Development created the precedent of inclusion of new business assumptions by incorporating such assumptions into its stress test for GSEs. Considering the mandate and this precedent--although we called for no action to incorporate new business assumptions--the recommendation is substantive. OFHEO's stress test is designed to ensure that the GSEs hold capital that is commensurate with the risk they face. The stress test estimates how much capital the GSEs would be required to hold over a ten-year period to withstand potential economic shocks, such as sharp movements in interest rates. OFHEO implemented its risk-based capital rule on September 13, 2001, and the agency had the option of deciding to incorporate new business assumptions into the stress test four years after its implementation (or September 13, 2005). OFHEO currently has no plans to incorporate new business assumptions into the stress test as GAO recommended. To do so, would have required OFHEO to specify details about the types and quality of new mortgages the GSEs would acquire over the ten year stress period, the types of funding that would be required to acquire such mortgages, and other operating and financial strategies. GAO found that new business is an important determinant of the expected future financial condition of the GSEs; however, GAO also found that determining the appropriate new business assumptions to include in OFHEO's model would be difficult and inherently speculative. For instance, OFHEO would need to consider the GSE management's capacity, not only to make adjustments in the face of uncertainty, but also to make assumptions about actions the GSEs might take to improve their financial condition. In addition, incorporating new business assumptions would increase the complexity of OFHEO's already complex stress test, making it more difficult to understand and replicate. Therefore, rather than relying on the incorporation of new business assumptions, GAO concluded that OFHEO could use its supervisory review function to limit risk-taking by the GSEs.
Recommendation: OFHEO should not incorporate new business assumptions into its risk-based capital stress test. Appropriate examination and supervisory review by the regulator can help ensure that the enterprises maintain capital appropriate to the financial stresses they are experiencing with regard to new business.

in response to defecta
Further testing shows that selecting a predefined rule and changing the ports to suit my purpose allows for a successful save and update of the port forwarding rules. There is definitely something broken on this thing. I would feel better about it if I wasn't the only one. Meaning its probably just a firmware issue.
klarsen73 Jul 5, 2012 1:30 PM

I experience similar problems mapping only UDP ports. Unless I specify TCP and UDP ports at the same time the destination ports are left out / forgotten when saving and updating the configuration.
batzman Jul 7, 2012 11:07 PM
in response to defecta
I too have found the disappearing TCP port to be an issue in the same version of Airport Utility. I tested entering and saving the settings using the Airport Utility version 5.6 and it keeps the settings.
Vinoh Oct 3, 2012 8:51 AM
in response to defecta
Ah, good to see others have this problem too. I spent hours last night isolating it. Unlike defecta, I can't just edit it to get it work and have to enter a number for both UDP and TCP to get it to stick. However, if I select something in the pull down meny like Personal Web Sharing, the selection sticks without entering the extra UDP number. That only applies to a few of my items though.
Vinoh Oct 3, 2012 9:07 AM
in response to Vinoh
I just found out that if I use the Airport Utility on my iPhone to change the port settings, it works fine. So it seems to be a bug in Airport Utility on the Mac.
Hubert7 Nov 28, 2012 6:13 AM
in response to defecta
Airport Utility 6.1 on Mac, when adding an IPv4 Port Mapping will silently throw away TCP ports if you don't enter UDP ports also.
After clicking Update, my AirPort Extreme 802.11n (3rd Generation) restarts, the port mapping entry is added but the ports are all empty.
The iPhone client lets you edit existing entries but won't let you tap Done unless you fill all UDP and TCP port fields. Once the 'Done' button becomes active, you can clear the UDP ports, tap Done and it will save correctly with TCP ports only (and will show up as such in Mac Airport Utility).
- Very poor QA by Apple - wanting to add a TCP port only without UDP ports is the common case, not the exception.
- It seems to be impossible to map a different public port to a given private port number?
- Why does the AirPort have to restart just for changing the port forward config?
Other modern routers with web interfaces don't need to.

in response to defecta
I have Time Capsule 2nd gen and OS X Server admin.
I've seen Server admin can put only TCP ports in TC config and it apparently didn't work thru Airport Utility.
So just a moment ago I guessed it requires at least something to be in the UDP fields.
I tryed to save port mapping with a space for UDP and it worked.
Although this is still a bug but at least this allows you to regain manual control over port mapping.
Hope this "space" port redirect won't break anything.

A year after posting a third-place finish in the Class 1 State Golf Tournament last year, the Thayer Bobcats ended the 2004 season in the state's top five with a fourth place showing in this year's tourney at Springfield's Deer Lake Golf Course.
The Bobcats shot a two-day total of 684, behind champion Salisbury's 640, Valle Catholic (680) and Gallatin (682).
Brett Ward earned All-State honors with an opening round of 82 May 17, followed by a 73 May 18, for a total of 155, good for third place overall.
The Bobcats climbed from sixth place (346) in opening-round action by shaving seven strokes off their second-day score (338).
Layne Hawkins posted scores of 88 and 83, for a total of 171 for Thayer, while M.J. Clark fired an 88 and 85 for a score of 173.
Coming in with an opening-round score of 88, Cody Hollis shot a second-day 97 for a 185, and Josh Wemlinger posted scores of 100 and 98, totaling 198 for his efforts.

Bop! Bang! Boom! strings skunky funk, down home B-3 blues, classical snips and quirky bop boogaloos with eclectic elegance. Title notwithstanding, the end result of this mix is a smash supreme.
Long recognized as a guitarist's guitarist by way of his marvelous work with Chuck Mangione, Lorraine Feather and Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band and many others, Geissman herds together a crew of old friends and L.A.'s brightest and sets all free to frolic over a dozen Geissman-composed - or co-authored - platforms. Collectively they leave the studio with no rear ends.
There's a complementary sense of focus and freedom here with no studio sterility surfacing. Irrespective of the grooves and textures at hand, this is a showcase for the leader's prolific chops, versatility and pure inventiveness. Geissman plays with a fun-loving, expressive and irreverent style, milking the most out of the various guitars he embraces on the session. His original selections eccentrically intrigue (of note "The Singularity" and "Good Morning, Mr. Phelps") and they set the table perfectly for all involved to generously offer superb creative commentary.
The supporting cast of Boppers is a leader's dream (and testimony to Geissman's respect in the biz): Saxophonists Brian Scanlon and Tom Scott (who both soar), Larry Carlton, Albert Lee, Tom Scott, Russell Ferrante, Trey Henry, Van Dyke Parks and more. With such a diverse set of selections to support, the various rhythm sections employed add all of the necessary soul, swing and funk flavors needed to make things shine.
Brilliantly produced, performed (and packaged!), Bop! Bang! Boom! is a joyous tour de groove. Who knows? It might even bang, boom and bop its way to play on one of those small golden Gramophones.

HuffingtonPost Blogger Feed for Douglas Wolk Good old fashioned elbow grease. How Comics Became Literature for Adults tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2011:/theblog//3.884238 2011-06-27T08:56:00-04:00 2011-08-27T05:12:01-04:00 Douglas Wolk http://www.huffingtonpost.com/douglas-wolk/ Watchmen or Persepolis or V for Vendetta and you're told that the source material is even better, so you pick one up. Or a friend presses a book by Carla Speed McNeil or Jaime Hernandez or Joe Sacco into your hands, saying, "No, really, I think this is something you'd be into." However it happens, you start reading, and you realize before long that you're in the presence of something really special -- these plotlines are taking you places of an entirely different scope than those visited by mainstream prose fiction. And you consider: These are nothing like the comic books I read as a kid. And they truly aren't. Thanks to accidents of economics, flashes of artistic inspiration, and flukes of both government and culture, comics have really "grown up." The comic book was originally conceived of and executed as entertainment for children. If it aspired to be art, that was fine, as long as those aspirations didn't interfere with the holy trinity of quick, cheap, and strong. They were ten-cent blurts of low-brow bliss, and they had to compete for space on newsstands with the pulps and glossy magazines marketed to adults, so they had to push really hard to fire up kids' imaginations Over the course of the '40s and early '50s, American comics pretty much stuck to their niche: kid stuff. But then came the blood-spattered comic book series "Crime Does Not Pay". Here's when America freaked out. Spurred on by a book titled Seduction of the Innocent: The Influence of Comic Books on Today's Youth, a national moral panic arose over the idea that comics were leading to feral teenagers running wild in the streets. In 1954, the U.S. Senate held a series of hearings about comic books and juvenile delinquency. To save itself, the comics business created its own censoring agency, the Comics Code Authority. Cops and judges had to be represented positively and other clauses banned vampires and werewolves, "suggestive posture," unusually concealed weapons, the words "horror" and "terror" in titles, and "depravity" in general. Pretty lame, right? And so it happened that the American branch of the comics medium, going through a difficult but promising adolescence, was marched straight back to its childhood room, sedated and infantilized. Imagine if every movie released in the U.S. between 1954 and, say, 1985 had to be rated G, and you'll see the problem. Even so, American comics kept evolving; there were a handful of gifted, prolific writers and artists who were happy to work within that G-rated framework. The era when the Comics Code was at its peak of power was also the era when Spider-Man, The X-Men, and Iron Man first appeared and when Jack Kirby unleashed the spectacular visions of his "Fourth World" stories. By the mid-1960s, however, countercultural waves infiltrated all of American society. The first issue of Robert Crumb's hilariously obscene Zap Comix had a little Code-shaped seal on its cover that read "Approved by the Ghost Writers in the Sky." This new generation of comic book authors simply didn't care about "respectability" or newsstand sales. Soon the Comics Code turned out to be an option rather than an obligation. The artists associated with Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly's art-comics magazine RAW got a toe-hold in the fine art world, which had previously always treated comics as kitschy raw material at best. The legendary cartoonist Will Eisner popularized the term "graphic novel" with books like A Contract with God. And soon, independent comic companies bypassed newsstands altogether, selling their serials directly to stores that specialized in comic books. By the end of the '80s, the Comics Code was pretty much vestigial. Its seal of quality had effectively become a seal of mediocrity. Gradually, one publisher after another abandoned it. This past January, when DC Comics and Archie Comics both gave it up, the Code officially died. While there are still comic books that cater to children - such as Bone or Naruto or Diary of a Wimpy Kid -- the ones that have really made their marks on the literary world and greater society at large are those that were written for the really big kids. Who would say that Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Sin City, Ghost World, and American Splendor aren't exquisite works of literature? ]]> Superhero Comics' Girl Trouble tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2007:/theblog//3.50820 2007-06-05T16:04:00-04:00 2011-05-25T12:05:18-04:00 Douglas Wolk http://www.huffingtonpost.com/douglas-wolk/ There was a well-publicized kerfuffle a few weeks ago about a limited-edition statue Marvel Comics licensed, depicting Mary Jane Watson leaning over to pull Spider-Man's costume out of a laundry basket -- butt and boobs maximally displayed, boop-boop-be-doop expression on face, thong peeking out of ripped jeans. It didn't help matters much when the statue's designer, Adam Hughes, attempted to explain himself by arguing that he'd simply been misinterpreted, and went on to torpedo his own argument by making a comparison to his and Dave Chappelle's respective ability to use "the 'n-word,'" and claiming that his detractors think his statue is "the most awful thing to hit mankind since the Holocaust." Around the same time, DC Comics advertised a forthcoming Justice League of America cover on which Michael Turner has drawn Power Girl with breasts roughly the size of her head. And, most recently, Sana Takeda's cover for a forthcoming issue of Marvel's Heroes for Hire has set comics commentators on edge with its depiction of... well, this requires a little bit of an explanation. There is a subcategory of Japanese cartooning (both comics and animation) called "tentacle porn," which is exactly what it sounds like (it was invented to get around the terms of Japanese censorship laws; that's a whole other story). The cover Takeda drew for Heroes for Hire #13 shows several of the series' women tied up, showing a lot of skin, bleeding a little, and being manhandled, or rather squidhandled, by a set of sinister-looking tentacles. There's no visible penetration, of course --Heroes for Hire is the equivalent of a PG-rated movie at most-- but it's very obviously an allusion to tentacle porn. (Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada, asked point-blank about Takeda's cover, claimed rather disingenuously that it was just a straightforward illustration of a story point, nothing porny about it.) Now, nobody's suggesting that these sorts of images are crimes against humanity -- although you'd never know it from Hughes and Quesada's weaselly denials that there's anything amiss with them. They're just sleazy, bad for business in the long term, and tacky as all hell, because their symbolic value is precisely that they do piss people off; there's a snickering tone of "in your face, ladies!" to all of them, and that's their selling point. In the case of the Heroes for Hire cover, the intended targets have to be in on the joke even to understand why they're supposed to be offended--which shuts them out, one way or the other. There's a certain sexed-up visual atmosphere that's endemic to superhero comics; the way their characters are drawn is supposed to be not just attractive but viscerally appealing, to provoke a kind of somatic response. That's why Superman and Captain America are tall and ripplingly muscled, why Catwoman and Elektra are curvy and ripped, why all the heroes wear skintight outfits, and -- ideally -- part of why both men and women find them fun to look at. But stripping everything but quasipornographic lust-puppetry from superhero comics' women characters actually gets that principle wrong. It's a deliberate attempt to repulse half of their potential audience, and to sell "collectibles" to people who like the idea of repulsing that half. And it's embarrassing to anyone who loves what's left of the superhero genre. ]]>

Roommate sought in Laguna Hills death
LAGUNA HILLS – A man sought in connection with the death of a Laguna Hills man may be traveling to Nicaragua via Mexico, authorities said.
Henry Nuñez Godinez, 22, was last seen at his work on Saturday, and investigators with the Orange County Sheriff's Department want to talk to him about the death of his roommate in Laguna Hills, said Lt. Jeff Hallock.
Deputies went to the 25200 block of Stockport Street on Wednesday night after a co-worker expressed concern for the roommates' welfare.
Deputies found a man dead in the apartment. Investigators are not releasing his name until his family has been notified and are treating the case as a homicide.
Godinez, the victim's co-worker and roommate, was not at the apartment and has not been heard from by co-workers since Saturday. Hallock would not comment on how the victim died. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday, he said.
Investigators say Godinez may have left the country.
"During the investigation, we found information he may be headed (to Nicaragua)," Hallock said.
Godinez was described as a Latino man with black hair, brown eyes and a slender build.
He is known to drive a black 2005 Volkswagen Jetta with the license plate 6KJM618.

... and sleep. I came down with the flu and I stopped it on Nov 10, as I was put on tamiflu and then bioxin. I have had tremors ect. thinking it was other meds. Didn't realize I should not stop this antidepressant like that. I am seemingly over most of everything else but cant get up in the morning without tremors nausea, dizzy and fatigue. Last antibiotic was nov 25. I came across antidepressant discontinuation disorder. Sounds like what I am going through still. Not sure if i should start taking it again to see if this is the problem or not so i can taper. I have everything else ck'd bloodwork etc. Does anyone know about this syndrome?

Added 11 Dec 2009:
Want to thank everyone for the info. I did take one 10mg for three nights to no avail. Saw my doc today. No answer on what is physically wrong still but has decided to put me on Zoloft 50 mg. As he feels that the illness is depressing me. I will try it tonight. I'm wondering though he said to go ahead and take it at supper and that i could continue the amitriptyline as well. I'm not too sure about that I would like to not take both. (paranoid?) I did only take three nights now anyway. Any light to shed on this one. He did do a few more blood tests and will see a nse/thrt specialst about a post nasal drip that is not due to infection. H1N1 they know nothing.

it really sounds like you have this and it can occure for quite a while. i would say talk to you psychiatrist/medical doc for the advise on restarting the med, im not sure what effect that could have. also tamiflu doesnt do anything really if you have the flu already, it only helps in prevention of the flu so i dont know why you were put on that...
9 Dec 2009
I think the best person to talk to is your Doctor. He will be able to evaluate you and advise you if you should restart the elavil. If it was helping with your pain and sleep my own personl opinion would be to stay on it and find out how to do that from your doc. I took elavil whch is the brand for amytriptiline. It did help there are newer meds but if this was working don't fix something that isn't broken. Good luck and I hope you can back on track real soon. Take care and God Bless Barb

Hmm i don't think so. It's said that it only works 1 time.
Hmm i don't think so. It's said that it only works 1 time.
I have two ps3 one jb the other not, also some family members would not listen to me and updated theirs. If this is ported to my ipt1g then I can downgrade for them hopefully. If psn access can be maintained long term this is a real blow for sony!
Yea, I suppose if someone can overcome the "1 time only" obstacle it would be handy to switch back and forth assuming there aren't any SFO/EBOOT type tricks available for future PS3 games on JailBroken consoles.
maybe it has some type of efuse in it that fries after it is used..
Multiple consoles (look at free space in system)
Multiple dongles
Time jumps around
Shady video
I want it to be true to, but this looks like hacked up. I call fake. I will believe it when I see it. The psp emu was more convincing than this.
I reckon it only works once because the psjailbreak team designed it that way. Once the sceners work out how it works surely it will be able to be done over and over.
my question is why i need a second dongle? this is only to money make more not.
the other question is why i need to downgrade? not because sony has stop the usb dongle no if this was real the new dongle dont work with the 3.50
i think is we are going to service mode we have more option to set maybe we have the opinion to install singel patches to the FW like the core_os ore somting... then its posible to activate full PS2 emulation to all PS3.
but i don't have see never the service mode so i can only speculation on this. but i still hope some one dump this money maker dongle... and make it public.
I recon if there was only a few gb different i would maybe believe it, but its like 67gb that's a bit too much.
Not to ruin the mood or anything, but when he shows the PS3 at 3.50, the time on the clock is 8:05AM, when he shows it as 3:41, the time is 8:00AM.
While it's entirely possible they did get it in to factory mode, it's also extremely possible that the video has been faked - i.e. they recorded it at 8:00, updated then recorded the rest.
Another important question is... How the heck could they make a 3.50 firmware console accept their Jailbreak dongle ? SONY closed 3.50 like Fort Knox... Is 3.50 already possible to jailbreak ??

All-Metro girls: Palmer, Gaines helped bring regional titles back to Wilkinson Co.
WOODVILLE — It would probably be a better question to ask what Lineasia Palmer can't do on the basketball court.
The Wilkinson County High School junior split time between being a center, forward and guard for the Lady Wildcats this past season. Despite not focusing on one position, Palmer still managed 20.8 points per game, eight rebounds per game, 6.6 assists per game and 2.2 steals per game. She was also selected to play in the Mississippi Sports Medicine North-South All-Star game.
In the process, Wilkinson County, led by fourth-year head coach Trimeka Gaines, went 12-14 overall, including an 8-2 run in MHSAA Region 3-3A with a regional title and a region tournament championship.
Because of Palmer's individual accolades and Gaines' accomplishments with her team this season, the Lady Wildcat duo was named All-Metro player and coach of the year for girls basketball.
"I knew I had to step up (this season), and I knew I had the ability to step up," Palmer said. "As the season went on, I knew I had to play a big role."
Gaines said in her four years coaching Palmer that she's enjoyed watching her all-purpose athlete grow as a player — and as a person.
"In the past, she didn't see the leadership ability in herself," Gaines said. "This year, she bought in and carried the team. She bought in from day one. No matter where I needed her, she could play that position."
Palmer said it wasn't easy shifting around the court instead of having one set position.
"It was hard, because I wasn't all the way in shape, but if we needed it, I had to do it," Palmer said. "I think I did fairly well."
Gaines also pointed out how unselfish Palmer was throughout the season.
"Sometimes she didn't have but 15 points in a game, because she played the role of passer to get other teammates involved," Palmer said.
Leading her fellow teammates was also a focal point for Palmer this season, and Palmer said she tried to set an example not just in games, but in practice.
"You have to go hard in practice and do everything right so others will follow," Palmer said. "I try to give encouraging words. If the players get down, I tell them to do better."
Gaines said she was a little unsure of things when the season began, but her girls began buying in after their first regional game — a loss to Hazlehurst.
"We came together and had to find out what to do in order to win district," Gaines said. "After that, we lost to Crystal Springs, then we won eight straight."
Palmer said she enjoys playing for Gaines, and that Gaines always pushes her every day they work together.
"She always stays on me and tells me that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard," Palmer said. "That means if I don't work hard, then I'm a wasted talent."
Winning not only a regional title in the regular season, but also a regional tournament championship, was a big deal for Gaines personally, especially since she's a 1999 graduate of the school.
"It hadn't been done in a while, and it's a big thing for our community, because our athletic program has not been at the forefront of our community (of late)," Gaines said. "It's great to bring a title to Wilkjnson County. It's a great time to be a Wildcat."
Palmer, meanwhile, said she has more than a regional title on her mind as she prepares for her senior season.
"I have a state title on my mind, and bringing that to Wilkinson County," she said.

Here's a look ahead at what's coming up next week in potentially
market-moving news.
The US will release the first estimate of second quarter GDP on
Wednesday morning, and economist expectations have been revised,
getting progressively worse with the continual influx of new data
from June. Currently, the consensus economist expectation is for
annualized growth of 1.0% in the second quarter, though many Street
estimates are below that figure. With the consumption,
manufacturing, fixed investment, and inflation data we've received
thus far, we can reasonably expect to see 0.4% to 0.6% annualized
growth, with an outside chance that we'll see a quarterly
contraction depending on where public spending clocks in.
July's non-farm payroll figure will be released on Friday. This
month, economists are expecting to see growth, forecasting 179,000
new jobs to be added since June. National and regional
manufacturing surveys thus far have all shown growth in employment
for the month. Additionally, hours worked should increase as should
manufacturing capacity utilization.
Personal spending and income data from June will also be released
on Friday. In June, the payrolls report showed that average hourly
earnings accelerated by 0.4% month-over-month, which should provide
a tailwind to income. Additionally, tax receipts have picked up in
July, which is a positive for both income and spending growth.
However, retail sales ex auto and gas dropped by 0.1% in June,
creating a head wind for consumption growth, which is also being
challenged by higher taxes, particularly in households with less
than $75,000 annual income.
Lastly, the FOMC will release its latest monetary policy decision
on Wednesday, following the GDP and ADP payrolls report that
morning. It is unlikely that the Fed will move to reduce asset
purchases at the July meeting. The Fed may comment on second
quarter growth and inflation trends, which they have thus far
viewed as transitory. A $20-$25 billion cut in asset purchases has
been priced into fixed income markets, so if the Fed indicates they
are not on that path, Treasuries and other fixed income assets will
likely rally.

Natural gas: A worse greenhouse gas than it's made out to be, says ProPublica
1/27/11 - 2:54 pm
ProPublica, whose reporter Abrahm Lustgarten is currently one of the most prominent critics of hydrofracking in the media, published a long piece yesterday that casts doubt on the purported climate benefits of natural gas. An excerpt:
Advocates for natural gas routinely assert that it produces 50 percent less greenhouse gases than coal and is a significant step toward a greener energy future. But those assumptions are based on emissions from the tailpipe or smokestack and don't account for the methane and other pollution emitted when gas is extracted and piped to power plants and other customers.
The EPA's new analysis doubles its previous estimates for the amount of methane gas that leaks from loose pipe fittings and is vented from gas wells, drastically changing the picture of the nation's emissions that the agency painted as recently as April. Calculations for some gas-field emissions jumped by several hundred percent. Methane levels from the hydraulic fracturing of shale gas were 9,000 times higher than previously reported.
In addition to new studies from the EPA, Lustgarten's story leans on Cornell professor Robert Howarth, who is currently engaged in an ongoing reserach project to measure emissions from various fossil fuels over their entire lifecycle (meaning, not just the emissions you get from burning the fuel, but also those involved with extraction, transport, etc.).
Based on his research (which, he notes, is still a work in progress), Howarth believes the greenhouse gas emissions associated with natural gas have been vastly underestimated, and that natural gas is potentially on a par with coal in terms of climate impacts. We spoke with Howarth last spring, when he released a preliminary paper on his findings. Here's an excerpt:
WP: You set out to compare the carbon emissions of natural gas to coal and oil. What did you find?
RH: If you look at the Department of Energy's analyses of greenhouse gas emissions from those three fuels, they will say gas is the cleanest and coal is the dirtiest. But that's based on the emissions just from combustion. Energy for digging the pipeline, laying the pipe, trucking the water, hydraulic fracturing, dealing with the waste—those all emit greenhouse gases.
But most important is the release of methane gas. It's hard not to have a little bit of gas leakage when you move stuff over a long distance via a pipeline. The EPA's most recent estimate is 1.5 percent leakage. That's a conservative estimate. We're working on coming up with a better number—and it's going to be higher, frankly.
Reacting to the ProPublica piece in the New York Times's Dot Earth blog yesterday, Andrew Revkin -- a well-known and widely-read environmental and climate reporter -- argues that methane leaks or no, natural gas is still a less risky fuel than coal, and needs to be part of our national energy strategy.
I agree with Christopher Helman over at Forbes who recently wrote that low gas prices mean there's little to lose by holding up drilling in highly contested areas (the Marcellus Shale here in New York being the prime battle zone) while the E.P.A. review is completed.
But campaigners who fight natural gas altogether, like anyone else immersed in the struggle over an energy policy that works for the long haul, would do well to come up with a real-world game plan for supply sufficient energy to foster human progress while limiting environmental risks.
Otherwise, they've moved from the Nimby camp to the world of the Banana (build absolutely nothing anywhere near anything).

Greene County Prosecutor David Powell told the county council that granting a sizable pay increase to his deputy prosecutor is essential to retaining good, talented, qualified attorneys not only for his staff, but future prosecutor teams.
The discussion is not a new one between the council and the prosecutor. It's been ongoing for about three years.
The council listened at length Monday afternoon while Powell made a plea to pass a salary ordinance agreement that would grant his six-year deputy prosecutor Jarrod Holtsclaw a pay hike that could potentially bring his pay to about $60,000 annually.
He currently earns about $48,000 a year.
In the end, the prosecutor asked the council to consider his proposal to stop the endless "revolving door" of deputies who have been trained in his office only to leave those jobs and go to higher paying positions in private firms or other public law office.
"Once we train a good trial lawyer, we ought to try and keep them," he said. "We need to retain our good people."
He continued, "Here's the problem we are going to have long-term if we don't deal with how to keep these people around. Jarrod has been with us about six years now. He's highly trained and very competent in what he does and he is certainty worth a great deal more outside of the office than what we pay him. That's the issue for the county. If we do not take care of the problem, I think what you are going to see is a revolving door here every two or three years."
The prosecutor said essentially every deputy he has lost in the past left the position to join a firm that paid them substantially more than they earned from the county.
"I don't know if Jarrod will stay or not. I know he is thinking about other plans," Powell said.
He pointed out that training lawyers fresh out of law school is expensive for the county both in terms of trial preparation and courtroom success. It has been Powell's experience that a more qualified and seasoned attorney is able to get cases settled "out of court" saving the county money in the long run.
"We as the county can follow the pack and wait for the state to say we're going to mandate these (pay) numbers or we in Greene County can say we recognize the need keep trained advocates that are representing the community and are willing to pay them to keep them. We're not asking for huge numbers. Ultimately, this ordinance if it is approved as written will result in about $60,000 a year in salary," Powell said. "If I were to advertise that job, if he would leave, I'm not sure at the current pay scale I could hire anybody. I know I can't find anybody with his qualifications. It would be a fresh recruit out of law school where we would have two years of training and six months where they don't do much more than watch."
He continued, "It's always aggravating to train people and get good, quality people to represent you and our community and then not be able to keep them."
The prosecutor said Holtsclaw has a heavy caseload ---- handling nearly all of the misdemeanor and felony drug-related cases. Last year, he worked 124 felony cases, of which were 111 drug felonies and an additional 59 misdemeanor drug cases. He pointed out that Holtsclaw has been effective ---- taking just one drug case to a costly jury trial in the last year.
His caseload is continuing to increase with 33 new methamphetamine-related drug cases filed since Jan. 1.
As a solution, Powell asked the council to enact a salary ordinance that would provide some continuity in the pay scale by establishing a base salary payable out of the general fund and include an incentive fund with the monies derived from two offender user funds which could be granted every two years at the discretion of the prosecutor.
Under terms of the proposed agreement, the deputy prosecutor would be paid $41,000 out of the general fund with up to a $5,000 increase allowed every two years at the discretion of the prosecutor. Under the plan, a deputy could attain a salary that would be 90 percent of the chief deputy prosecutor's pay, which is set by the state legislature.
Powell said, "We created a way to reward folks for their longevity and their service and pay that out of non-general fund revenues at the discretion of the prosecutor."
Powell said granting the pay hike by enacting the ordinance would not result in a raise in taxes. The discretionary part of the salary would come from offender user fees from the Infraction Deferral and Pre-Trial Diversion funds.
"I'm the last person that would ever ask you to raise taxes. I've always believed the offenders should have to pay for as much of this as possible. That is what these programs do. All I am asking you for is the discretion to reward employees who work hard. I'm asking you to have the courage to make a decision that might not be popular in the rest of this building (the courthouse)," he stated.
Powell had hopes of having the issue settled "once and for all" instead the matter was tabled until after an executive session discussion planned prior to next month's regular meeting on Monday, March 29.
Council member Brent Murray said he understood the need to pay talented people well to keep them, but said he felt defending a $60,000 salary for a deputy prosecutor would be a difficult action to defend in the eyes of the public ---- especially with the tough economic times the county is now facing.
"I understand what you are saying. I really do, but I understand 99 percent of the business owners in this county are facing the same problem. If the money is not there, the money is not there," Murray said.
Powell interjected, "Money is not an issue here. I have the money available."
Murray responded, "It is an issue. You're saying having the courage to give it and I understand that, but I also know what's going to happen with the other 200 employees in this county. There is a difference between courage and doing the right thing."
Last September, the council stopped short of granting a similar request from Powell because it had announced that no county workers would be granted raises in the 2004 budget.
Powell explained that his 2004 prosecutor's budget was "essentially the same" as a year ago, except for his request to raise the salary of Holtsclaw, who made $47,652 in the 2003 budget.
The prosecutor asked the council to hike Holtsclaw's salary another $12,000 to $59,652. The prosecutor proposed to "make up" the $12,000 request from the two user-based fund accounts over which he has discretionary control ---- $6,000 from the Infraction Deferral and $6,000 from the Pre-Trial Diversion funds.

This week, Mountain Stage is looking back at a few of the relatives who've appeared on the program in the past 26 years.
John Hartford was an influential force in the world of contemporary roots music until his death in 2001. His music lives on through the countless musicians he inspired — including his son, Jamie Hartford, who was already showing great promise as a singer, instrumentalist and songwriter when he appeared alongside his father in 1989. The two would go on to release the album Hartford & Hartford together in 1991.
In 2005, Jamie Hartford returned to Mountain Stage with Part of Your History, an album of his father's songs. "Don't Put Him Down for It Now," as well as John Hartford's most recorded song ("Gentle on My Mind"), are featured here.

105 Under-represented Good Games
- Randy CoxUnited States
South CarolinaThe Back Alley gets no respect.
I saw a geeklist (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/28017) showcasing rare games, games that were owned by fewer than 750 other people. I thought to myself, "Those aren't rare; they're positively mainstream." So I checked. I have 792 games which are owned by fewer than 750 BGGers. So I began to tinker with the lists to find out which games I own and have rated at least 6.5 or better were owned by fewer than 100 BGGers.Recommend
That list was interesting. However, as one might expect, most of the entries were not "gamers" games. They were party or trivia or kid games. So I raised the threshhold just a bit (to 200) and that produced a list of 105 games that I have played and rated (at least 6.5) but are not owned by very many BGGers. The unheralded good games on BGG (in my opinion, of course).
Here is my list, segregated by type of game, so that others can race out and purchase these jewels that just don't get a lot of face time on BGG.
Don't fret. After the initial list of Randy-style games, I'll get to the good stuff.

If there was a way to completely 'cure' your child of autism would you do it?
I mean if there was just one simple pill that your child took once and their autism was gone would you do it?
Why or why not?
For me I am not sure. I would take away his pain, his self injurous behavior, his lack of understanding, ect. But I love so many things about him that I am not sure would be there if his autism was gone.

NEWTON, Iowa -- With most of the Sprint Cup stars busy with the All-Star Race at Charlotte, the NASCAR Nationwide race at Iowa Speedway was the perfect opportunity for one of the regulars in that series to win for the first time this season.
The breakthrough was provided by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. -- and it wasn't a fluke either.
Stenhouse held off the only Cup points contenders in the field, Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski, and became the first Nationwide regular to pick up a ...
