REGIONALREPORT EasternStaying loaded is good business
North Carolina imported $42.5 billion of goods last year. Thats a lot of shipping containers. Theyre trucked inland and unloaded at retailers and distributors, but then containers have to be returned to the ports. If theyre empty, importers have to pay runs from Wilmington to Charlotte cost about $700, not including fuel for transporting air. This is the problem. Wilmington-based LoadMatch Logistics Inc. wants to be the solution. Imports drive the whole show, says President Gary Winstead, who, with Vice President Scott Anderson, founded LoadMatch in 2006. The steamship line delivered the container to the importers door with the expectation that it was going to be returned to the port empty. ... Weve changed that dynamic.
Importers go inland. Exporters go the other way. They both need containers. And truckers are looking for short hauls in between long runs. LoadMatch serves as a matchmaker, connecting importers empty inland containers to exporters who need them, while also arranging trucking transportation. The 14-employee company had about 1,100 transactions in September. Its success is reflected in its revenue, which has almost doubled annually and is expected to hit $13 million this year.
Id worked for the N.C. State Ports Authority in business development, and Id had customers ask me to help them find import containers that were going back to the port empty so they could reduce their transportation costs, Winstead says. The more I looked, the more I realized nobody was doing that.
In essence, LoadMatch is selling a markup. It contracts with trucking companies and owner-operators who will work at a discounted price say, hypothetically, $300 for the Wilmington-Charlotte run and offers those services to importers and exporters for $500. So a container shipment that typically costs $1,400 round trip goes for $1,000. Shippers save money, haulers get work, and LoadMatch pockets the markup. Its first client was a Catawba County fabric maker. I knew the guy there from when I worked at the ports. He said, Yeah, Ive got nothing to lose and everything to gain.Briefs
WILMINGTON Federal regulators sued Cooperative Banks former CEO and board, alleging they failed to manage risk associated with speculative lending. The suit seeks more than $33 million from Frederick Willetts III and more than $111 million from the eight directors. Troy-based First Bank took over Cooperative after it failed in June 2009.
GOLDSBORO Novi, Mich.-based Cooper-Standard Automotive will add 137 jobs at its plant by the end of 2012, increasing its local workforce to more than 500. The plant makes rubber, metal and plastic seals and trim for automobiles. The new jobs will pay nearly $32,000 a year. Wayne Countys average salary is $29,848.
WASHINGTON Chicago-based Invenergy applied to the state Utilities Commission to build an 80-megawatt wind farm, with 49 turbines and five employees, on 11,000 acres in Beaufort County. The Pantego Wind Energy farm would start producing electricity enough to power about 15,000 homes in December 2012.
ROCKINGHAM For the first time since 2004, NASCAR will hold an event, a truck-series race, at Rockingham Speedway in April. Driver Andy Hillenburg, owner of Fast Track Racing Enterprises in Harrisburg, bought the track from Concord-based Speedway Motorsports for about $4 million in 2007 after NASCAR moved its races to newer tracks out West.

Friday News, December 14
Le Mars Fire Department Responds To Alarm At Econolodge Motel
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Fire Department responded to a call at the Econolodge Motel last evening shortly after 6:00 p.m. Fortunately there was no fire at the motel. Fire officials determined that water vapor had gotten into the alarm system, triggering the alarm.
Hinton Battles Shed Fire
(Hinton) -- Hinton's Fire Department battled a shed that was on fire yesterday afternoon. The call came in at about 2:00 p.m. Fire officials were dispatched to 28215 Marble Avenue. Fire officials were on the scene for approximately an hour. No word on the extent of damage or the cause of the fire that burnt the shed.
Le Mars Police Arrest Le Mars Man For Forgery
(Le Mars) -- Le Mars Police have placed under arrest 24 year old Robert McDougall of Le Mars. McDougall was arrested after an investigation was conducted into his involvement in forging documents to obtain controlled substances from the local pharmacies. While at the police department, he was also found to be in possession of a controlled substance.

Iowa Land Values On The Rise...Again
(Ames) -- Iowa land values have once again risen over last year and according to Mike Duffy, Agricultural Economist with Iowa State University, in many cases, new records were established. Duffy noted northwest Iowa saw the largest increase in land values.
Listen to
Duffy says there are a number of factors that are helping drive the land values higher including good investment opportunities, the need for additional land for manure application for livestock and poultry producers, but he says the most mentioned driving factor are higher commodity prices.
Listen to
There are some people, including Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, who believe farmers are entering an era much like the 70's when grain and land prices were high, only to see the bubble burst, causing a recession era which occurred in the 1980's. Duffy says although there are some farmers that may be over-extended with their financing, he doesn't see it being a wide spread problem, at least not just yet.
Harkin Worried About Rising Land Values
(Washington) -- Iowa Senator Tom Harkin says this week's report on rising Iowa farmland values is worrisome. The annual study from Iowa State University found the average selling price for an acre of Iowa farmland was nearly 83-hundred dollars, an increase of 24-percent from a year ago.
Listen to
Harkin acknowledges it appears Iowa farmers will "be in good shape" in terms of future demand for feed grains and for grain and stover used in ethanol production. Still, he fears changes in the weather and other factors could quickly prompt another farm crisis like the nation saw in the 1980s.
Listen to
The ISU report found farmland prices were widely varied across the state. For example, prices in northwest Iowa were up almost 34-percent, while prices in southeast Iowa were up only nine-percent.
Listen to
The 24-percent price increase found in the ISU report marks the third straight year the state's farmland values have increased by at least 15-percent.
Soybean Association Applauds Governor's Action On Nutrient Runoff
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Environmentalists say it doesn't go far enough, but the Iowa Soybean Association is praising Gov. Terry Branstad's strategy to keep harmful nutrients from reaching Iowa
waterways and the Gulf of Mexico.
Association leaders who met in Ankeny this week reaffirmed their support for the plan, which was released last month. ISA President Mark Jackson says the plan is based on science, recognizes the
diversity of the state's landscape and is "much more effective than a costly, one-size-fits-all effort to improve water quality."
The plan calls on wastewater treatment plants to make upgrades to reduce their discharges into waterways. But it asks farmers to take voluntary steps to reduce the runoff caused by fertilizers and
manure on farm fields.
Critics say they doubt a voluntary approach will have much impact.
State Historical Museum To Celebrate 25 Years
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the State Historical Building.
Gov. Terry Branstad and others will attend a gala Friday night aimed at raising funds for the in-house State Historical Museum. It will feature a display of objects from the museum's permanent
collection to represent the past 25 years. More than 500 people are expected to attend.
Officials also are currently trying to raise funds to restore the building. The state Department of Cultural Affairs presented a proposal to Branstad on Thursday projecting costs of up to $101
The State Historical Building opened in 1987. It houses several divisions of the cultural affairs agency, State Historical Museum and other offices.
Thousands Honor Missing Cousin Elizabeth Collins
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) - A huge crowd of well-wishers joined the friends, relatives and family at a memorial service Thursday for one of two Iowa cousins whose remains were found by hunters last
week, months after their summer disappearance.
More than 1,000 people turned out to honor Elizabeth Collins, who was 8 when she and her 10-year-old cousin, Lyric Cook, vanished after setting off on their bicycles last July.
Elizabeth's mother, Heather Collins, told those at the Cedar Falls gathering not to lose faith, saying her family knows the girls are in a better place.
"You sometimes feel like God is not with you when you go through all this. But he is. He's by your side," she said.
The event was meant to celebrate Elizabeth's life, and a band played uplifting tunes while those gathered sang along and prayed. Lyric's family said they would hold something for her after Christmas, the paper reported.
Heather and Drew Collins, Elizabeth's father, said at a news conference prior to the memorial service that their faith in God is stronger than ever. Heather Collins said she knows God was with the girls, whose remains were found in a wooded area about 25 miles from Evansdale, where the girls were last seen.
"We know God was with them the whole entire time," she said. "We know where they are now. They're in such a much better place. They're going to have such a much better Christmas than we are."
Heather Collins said her and her husband's three other children are coping with their sister's death by getting counseling and finding ways to speak to their sister through drawing and looking
up at the sky.
Drew Collins said that although the family may never find closure, they are determined to find who hurt the girls. He said he suspects the person may have been a sex offender.
"We want whoever is responsible to have to answer for what they've done," he said. "I think we'll get a little more closure then. We don't want this person to be able to hurt anybody else."
The couple said they will meet with Gov. Terry Branstad and other families next week to discuss death penalty legislation. Drew Collins said he supports the death penalty and he believes there should be changes to the judicial system on how prison sentences are issued to sex offenders who may commit again.
"If someone murders a child, they need to be punished severely," he said.
Heather Collins said the family had always planned a celebration for when their daughter came home, though the circumstances are different.
"She did come home, even though it wasn't on earth," she said.
Cedar Rapids Woman Drowns In Cedar River
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say the death of a Cedar Rapids woman whose body was pulled from Cedar River was an accidental drowning.
The body of 50-year-old Teresa Cooling was found near the Ellis Boat Harbor around 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 18.
Cedar Rapids Police Sgt. Cristy Hamblin says that investigators have concluded that no crime was involved in Cooling's death and that she drowned after accidentally falling into the river.

BP PLC is selling some deep-water Gulf of Mexico oil and gas properties to Texas-based Plains Exploration & Production Co. for $5.55 billion.
The U.K.'s BP is selling off assets as it is still in the midst of trying to pay for damages from the 2010 Gulf coast oil spill.
The companies said Monday that the properties were producing an estimated 59,500 barrels of oil equivalent net per day as of July's end.
Plains also announced that it is buying a 50 percent working interest in the Holstein Field from Shell Offshore Inc. for $560 million.
The properties were producing an estimated 7,400 barrels of oil equivalent net per day at July's end.
Both deals are expected to close by the end of the year.

WHEELING - For the last four seasons, Wheeling Park and Linsly's girls' soccer teams have met up at Wheeling Island Stadium in early October not just for a city-rivalry, but for a great cause, The Breast Cancer Awareness Game.
Thursday night they did it again and as usual the game turned into not only one of great reward, but also of outstanding play on the field.
It took the Patriots nearly 67 minutes to finally get on the board, but, seniors Ashley Grove and Meghan Horan both scored just four minutes apart late in the second half and the Wheeling Park defense held on for a hard-fought 2-1 victory against the Cadets on the Island turf.
Coach Aubrey Taylor's Patriots, who had been unable to bounce back from early deficits in their last two games, improved to 9-4-2 on the campaign, while Erica Hall watched her Cadets dip to 9-4-1.
The difference in the first half came via the foot of Kureishy. Both the Patriots and Cadets each had just one shot on goal during the opening 40 minutes, but Kureishy made Linsly's count.
With 22 seconds remaining in the half, Kureishy's bullet from 20 yards out beat Wheeling Park junior keeper Devyn Nickerson to the near corner to give the visitors the upper hand at the break.
While the Patriots were able to keep the ball on Linsly's side of the field for most of the opening half, it took 30 minutes for the hosts to get off their first shot, which was defended by freshman Morgan Brunner.
Wheeling Park had a great opportunity with 28 minutes to play when a shot skimmed off the top post and back down into play where a rebounded shot was also off the mark.
The Patriots missed another golden chance with a little more than 15 minutes to play when a direct kick from 24 yards out again ricocheted off the top bar with a put-back collected up by Brunner for the save.
With 13:26 showing, Park finally capitalized with sophomore Briella Taylor's kick being put into net on senior Ashley Grove's header, deep in the box, and a 1-1 deadlock.
And after trailing for much of the contest, the eventual game-winner came with 9:09 on the clock when senior Meghan Horan lofted a direct kick high into the air and over Brunner's head on a free kick from 22 yards away for the prized 2-1 lead.
"The girls really showed a lot of guts (Thursday)," Taylor said.
"We have had to fight back from being down in our last three games, but this is the only one we bad it back on.
"The girls just had a lot of energy and focus to do the right things to win. We did a good job keeping the ball on their end of the field for most of the game, but we do that a lot. Normally we just aren't able to score as much as we want to.
"Defensively we were very strong, we stayed calm and did a good job moving the ball around. And it was also nice to limit their shots."
In all, Wheeling Park managed to get off eight shots on goal while Linsly had just one in each half.
"We came out hard the first 10 minutes of the game," Hall said. "And I am really not sure what even happened on their first goal, but they got a real nice burst and played very hard after that.
"And Meghan Horan's free kick goal was just absolutely gorgeous. Give Wheeling Park a lot of credit. They did a real nice job pressuring us. I also felt that Morgan Brunner did an outstanding job in the net for us."

Leave Britney alone!
Are you ready for our last trend of the week? 'Cuz it's a good one. Chances are, you've been wearing some form of denim most of your life. Whether you rocked overalls in fifth grade, had denim scrunchies, or wear jeans on a regular basis, you probably own something in the casual blue hue. But lately, denim has made its way to center stage, and its ready to lead us all right into fall. Hello comfy shirts and stretchy jeans! We are happy to welcome you back into our lives. Just to give you a little denim inspiration, we've compiled outfits from some of our favorite bloggers who totally rock the trend.
And just so we're clear, we are not suggesting you dress like America's favorite pop stars circa 2001. Not a good moment for Britney and Justin.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
OUTLOOK: Seven Missouri Valley Conference teams reached the postseason in
2011-12, tying the league mark set in 2009. Wichita State and Creighton went
to the NCAA Tournament and both were ranked in the top-20 at the end of the
season, the first time the MVC has seen that happen since 1974-75. Can they do
it again? The Shockers must replace a lot of talent from last year's squad,
while Creighton will once again turn to Doug McDermott, the conference's first
All-America first-team selection since Hersey Hawkins (Bradley) in 1988.
In all, eight of the 10 teams in the conference return at least three
starters. Wichita State and Indiana State are the exceptions. Illinois State,
coming off its fourth NIT trip in the past five years, has the look of a
strong contender. Former player Dan Muller takes over for Tim Jankovich as the
head coach there. UNI could also finish near the top of the conference
standings after earning its first-ever NIT bid and winning a first-round game.
Drake, Evansville and Indiana State are also coming off postseason appearances
and all figure to be in the mix once again. Missouri State, Bradley and
Southern Illinois are facing rebuilding jobs. The new coach at SIU is Barry
Hinson, who will try to resurrect the Salukis following an 8-23 season. Hinson
returns to the MVC after coaching at Missouri State from 1999-2008.
CONFERENCE CHAMPION: Creighton
PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH: 1. Creighton, 2. Illinois State, 3. Northern Iowa,
4. Wichita State, 5. Evansville, 6. Drake, 7. Indiana State, 8. Missouri
State, 9. Bradley, 10. Southern Illinois
CREIGHTON: The Bluejays found their way back to the NCAA Tournament for the
first time since 2007 and finished the 2011-12 campaign ranked No. 19 in the
country. In fact, they advanced all the way to the third round of The Big
Dance and appear primed for another postseason run this season. The team
returns four of five starters and 10 letterwinners in all. All eyes will once
again be on the McDermott's; third-year coach Greg and his son, consensus All-
American Doug. Is there any room for the latter McDermott to improve in his
junior season after averaging 22.9 points and 8.2 rebounds? After all, he shot
a ridiculous 60.1 percent from the floor and 48.6 percent from 3-point range.
Nobody in the country took more shots than McDermott, who set the school's
scoring record as a sophomore. With Antoine Young no longer around to run the
point, Grant Gibbs or sophomore Austin Chatman will need to step forward and
facilitate the offense. Sharpshooting freshman Isaiah Zierden could add
another potent element to the backcourt if he proves a quick study.
ILLINOIS STATE: Dan Muller, who played for the Redbirds in the mid-90s and
previously served as an assistant at Vanderbilt, inherits a team with MVC
title hopes. The players will no doubt be hungry to capture that hardware
after last year's painful overtime loss to Creighton in the MVC Tournament
title tilt, which cost the Redbirds a spot in the NCAA Tournament. However,
there are plenty of reasons for optimism entering the 2012-13 campaign, as
four of five starters return. However, Nic Moore, who started at point guard
last year as a freshman, decided to follow former coach Jankovich to SMU.
Muller scrambled to sign Canadian Kaza Keane to try and fill that void.
Outside of Moore, the Redbirds return every key contributor from last season.
Heading up the roster is second-team All-MVC pick Jackie Carmichael (13.9 ppg,
9.7 rpg), the team's leading scorer and rebounder. Carmichael recorded 15
double-doubles last season but struggled a bit with turnovers, an area he must
improve. Jon Ekey, who averaged 9.0 points and nearly five rebounds while
shooting 40.7 percent from the perimeter last year as a freshman, will also
have a big role.
NORTHERN IOWA: The Panthers welcome back 12 of 13 players from last year's
20-win team, and they could be ready to take a big step forward in 2012-13.
Four of five starters return, including MVC Freshman of the Year Seth Tuttle,
MVC All-Freshman team selection Deon Mitchell, and MVC Honorable Mention
selection Anthony James. Only one senior needs to be replaced, as UNI's roster
features a nice mix of veterans and underclassmen. James, who hit a buzzer-
beating 3-pointer against nationally-ranked Creighton last winter, led the
team in scoring with 12.5 ppg. However, he was also the only double-digit
scorer for the Panthers, who boasted the MVC's top scoring defense (61.9 ppg
allowed). Tuttle was next in line with 9.6 points and a team-best 5.6 rebounds
per tilt, while Mitchell averaged 7.0 ppg. Coach Ben Jacobson is counting on
those two youngsters to really step up and give the offense a boost. A tough
early-season schedule will either be a blessing or a curse.
WICHITA STATE: After winning the MVC regular-season title last spring and
reaching the Big Dance for the first time since 2006, the Shockers were hit
hard by graduation. Another 27-win season and a No. 5 seed in the NCAA
Tournament is unlikely, although the roster still boasts enough talent to make
some waves in the MVC standings. Seniors Carl Hall and Demetric Williams will
provide a much-needed steadying presence. Hall, last season's MVC Newcomer of
the Year, averaged 8.5 points and 5.0 rebounds, while Williams (5.5 ppg)
logged 24 minutes per game. However, Hall, who was a new face last year after
transferring from junior college, now finds himself in a leadership role. The
team welcomes a solid recruiting class featuring seven newcomers, including
prized prospect Fred Van Vleet to run the point. Vleet, a first-team all-state
high school player in Illinois, will ditch the training wheels from the outset
as the Shockers try to replace five seniors who combined to average 57.2 ppg.
EVANSVILLE: The Purple Aces have been a regular postseason participant the
past few seasons, although early exits have been a common theme. If they hope
to change that and advance deep into the postseason this spring, senior Colt
Ryan will have something to say about it. The first-team All-MVC guard
finished last season as the No. 11 scorer in the nation with 20.2 ppg. Ryan
scored 30 points or more on four occasions a year ago, and if anybody can
challenge McDermott for MVC Player of the Year honors, it's him. Of course,
Ryan will need some help from his supporting cast, and Evansville is fortunate
to return 11 letterwinners. Seniors Troy Taylor, Lewis Jones and Ned Cox (9.2
ppg) will be counted on for leadership, and production. Sophomore forward Ryan
Sawvell, who averaged 6.2 points and 4.0 rebounds as a freshman last year,
will also need to step up his game. If he does, the Purple Aces could
surprise some folks in the MVC this season.
DRAKE: Rayvonte Rice, who averaged 16.5 points and 5.7 rebounds last season,
decided to transfer to Illinois in April. His departure leaves a major void
for an offensively-limited team that finished 9-9 in league play in 2011-12.
Still, four other starters return for coach Mark Phelps, who has won more
games in his first four seasons than any coach in school history. On the
floor, it all starts with senior forward Ben Simons, a Second-Team All-MVC
selection. Simons enters the season as the MVC's third-leading scorer (16.0
ppg) and shot 42.5 percent from beyond the arc a year ago. But with Rice no
longer around, he'll need to shoulder even more of the scoring load despite
defenses keying heavily on him. Jordan Clarke, who started a team-high 32
games last season, returns to roam the paint after averaging 6.0 points and a
team-best 7.0 rebounds. Freshman Kori Babineaux, a 6-4 shooting guard and a
dynamic high school scorer, could see significant minutes early on. Babineaux
is one of seven newcomers on the roster.
INDIANA STATE: After finishing 8-10 in the conference in 2011-12, the
Sycamores must replace four starters. Despite the high rate of turnover, the
team could still find itself in contention with a healthy Jake Odum, who is
coming off a second-team All-MVC campaign. The junior do-it-all guard averaged
10.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists last year as a sophomore despite
battling plantar fasciitis throughout the season. Odum's biggest area of
improvement is in the turnover department, as he averaged 3.0 per game last
year. Even if Odum does a much better job taking care of the basketball, coach
Greg Lansing knows he'll need to find some production elsewhere, considering
the Sycamores weren't exactly the most potent offensive squad in 2011-12. One
player who could emerge is forward Jake Kitchell, who impressed in limited
minutes as a freshman. Wanting to beef up ISU's post presence, coach Lansing
added freshmen forwards T.J. Bell and Rhett Smith to add some needed depth. If
the youngsters on the roster prove up to the challenge, the Sycamores could
climb above .500 in league play.
MISSOURI STATE: Coach Paul Lusk's first season at Missouri State yielded a
.500 record, and the Bears look to have their work cut out for them to improve
upon last year's win total. Top scorers Kyle Weems and Caleb Patterson were
lost to graduation, while Jarmar Gulley is expected to miss his senior season
after tearing an ACL during a summer league game. That's three of the team's
four double-digit scorers from 2011-12 who are no longer available. The lone
returning starter from that squad is guard Anthony Downing, the Bears' top
returning scorer (11.5 ppg) and lone active senior on the roster. However,
with underclassmen surrounding him, Downing will also be counted on to fill an
all-important leadership role. Nathan Scheer and Keith Pickens were both spot
starters a year ago, although neither averaged better than five points.
Freshman Gavin Thurman, a 6-6 forward, will likely be a regular in the
frontcourt rotation. Thurman, who starred on a 6A state title squad in
Wichita, impressed during the team's exhibition trip to Costa Rica.
BRADLEY: The Braves hope that after last year's 7-25 season, they have
nowhere to go but up. The good news is all but one starter returns, and that
familiarity alone could lead to a few more wins. Second-year head coach Geno
Ford also now has a season under his belt, which means he has seen tendencies
and experienced the atmosphere at arenas throughout the MVC. Now, it's up to
Ford to make the necessary adjustments in year two. He'll certainly need to,
as the rotation is largely unchanged. At the end of the day, he and the Braves
will still lean on senior Dyricus Simms-Edwards and junior Walt Lemon, Jr. for
leadership. Simms-Edwards, the team's active career scoring leader, took a
boatload of shots last season but made only 35 percent of his attempts from
the floor. That led to a trend that saw Simms-Edwards often follow up big
games with one or two quiet scoring nights. Lemon, Jr. is the top returning
scorer from last year, while sixth-year senior Will Egolf is trying to come
back from a second torn ACL.
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS: New head coach Barry Hinson previously helped turn
Missouri State's program around, and now he is tasked with doing the same for
the Salukis, who are coming off an 8-23 season. SIU's trip to the Sweet 16 in
2007 seems like a distant memory, as four of the last five seasons have seen
the team finish at .500 or below in conference play. The good news for Hinson
is that four starters return, although none of those four averaged double
figures last season. Forward Dantiel Daniels, who led the MVC in blocks per
game (1.6) last year as a freshman, is the headliner. Daniels averaged a
respectable 8.3 points and 4.9 rebounds, and while his offensive numbers could
stand to improve, Hinson really needs Daniels to deliver at the defensive end,
where the Salukis were exposed in 2011-12. With top scorer and rebounder
Mamadou Seck lost to graduation, SIU will also need more production from
veterans Jeff Early (8.6 ppg), Kendal Brown-Surles (8.0 ppg) and T.J. Lindsay
(7.1 ppg).

Chestnut Hill, MA (Sports Network) - Olivier Hanlan scored a team-high 26
points and pulled down seven rebounds as the Boston College Eagles took down
the Maryland Terrapins, 69-58, in ACC play at Conte Forum.
Also scoring in double figures for the Eagles (12-14, 4-9 ACC) was Lonnie
Jackson who tallied 13 points off the bench, while Eddie Odio filled his stat
line with eight points, 11 rebounds and six blocked shots as they won for the
second time in the last three outings.
Maryland (18-8, 6-7), which was coming off an upset win of second-ranked Duke
at home over the weekend, didn't have a single starter score in double figures
on the night. Instead, it was reserve Logan Aronhalt who led the way with 26
points on 7-of-12 shooting behind the 3-point line as the team bowed for the
second time in the last three games.
The Terps led by as many as nine points late in the first half, thanks to 48.1
percent shooting from the floor, which included 6-of-14 beyond the arc, en
route to a 33-26 advantage at the break.
In the second half the visitors dropped to only 24.1 percent accuracy from the
field, while BC began feasting at the free-throw line (17-of-18) in order to
come away with the double-digit win.
In the game that featured 11 ties and eight lead changes, the Eagles outscored
Maryland by a 21-8 margin at the charity stripe.

Working at KGON in the late 80's was a big part of my early broadcasting career. I have great memories from that time in Portland and at KGON. Playing timeless Rock Classic that were produced when budgets for recording were so high and the psycho acoustics and analog warmth made listening such an enjoyable experience. Mix that audio Phatness with today's HD and it is better sounding then ever! KGON Rocks with a perfect amount of cowbell!

Carrying on with Stephen Stills
by Iris Harrison
posted Apr 24 2013 2:33PM
Interviewing a legend, and one of my heroes, tends to make the night before the interview a bit restless. I prepared a boat load of questions, and due to time issues, I didn't get to so many things that I wanted to know about. Well, next time, right?
I've had a big crush on Stephen Stills since I first heard Buffalo Springfield's "Sit Down I Think I Love You" and "Bluebird." I was hooked on that voice. Then came Crosby Stills Nash...and Young, and all the combinations thereof, the Supersessions album with Bloomfield and Kooper, and Manassas! Whew! All great stuff, and all in my collection.
Now if you don't have all that in your music library, then you will want to get yourself the 4 CD set, "Carry On." There's the songs you know, rarities, previously unreleased stuff, and a huge book of liner notes for geeks like me!
I'm looking forward to a chance to talk to this amazing man again, becuase I have a whole page of questions that never got asked. But just having a conversation with him was pure bliss. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Awesome Interview! Thank You
I want to compliment you on a great interview Iris Harrison! Like you I have been a long time Stephen Stills admirer-of both the man and his music. His magical ability to weave his poetic lyrics to music for over 50 years is astounding. His beautiful songs have been my refuge in the worst times of my life and my joy in the best of times. Thank you for posting this for all of us to hear. I enjoyed it immensely.
ROCK-U-PIE festival from MJ12theband
Do you think Stephen and the guys' or you would be interesed in making this happen? We have an idea for a Labor Day Fest and calling it "Rock-U-Pie" - Are you interested in helping talk to the right people and organize? 1/01/14: Cool you like the idea(early stages of conception) Have a couple locations in mind(one is a private(less Govt. reg) 28 acre field with electricity, well, 100x50 Bldg, and large pond East of Eugene, Lawrence Rd. and Poodle Creek). Have not contacted the property owner yet. Although might be good to try some place like the Gorge Amphitheater (infrastructure in place, but would the owners volunteer? - Doubt it) Then there's *Milo McIver State Park where the 'Vortex 1' festival took place in Oregon in 1970 attracting over 100,000 anti-war music lovers. We have in mind, 3 days of Local and Big name acts(diversified genres). The event should be recorded and filmed and the proceeds put into a trust to help workers defend their rights, voting rights, environmental issues, etc. Nice if it were to become an annual event............... Guest social-political-economic speakers during morning and early afternoon(from early morning till 1:00PM and/or between musical acts). Need to get some influential folks involved, such as Activists, Politicians, Business Sponsors, Promoters, KGON(radio stations), Music Biz Big-shots. We're thinking the event should be FREE ADMISSION WITH FOOD and CLOTHING DONATIONS AND/OR CLEANUP, MEDICAL, and NEEDED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES VOLUNTEERING, but should also be a giant fundraiser for economic equality, with proceeds to go to challenge big corporate interests like Monsanto, Walmart, and Koch Industries, IE. and their greedy agendas, education, GMO labeling, voting rights, environmental, etc. .......................................ALL ideas and influence are Totally Welcome....................................... There must be many ways this event could rally low and middle income people and help take back some of the Power that's been lost over the last 30 years............................... We haven't really done much yet, except bring it up on Reverb Nation and think about it. We are getting some positive feedback from local musicians, but the music biz community so far just circling like Sharks Update 2/01/14: After watching a news program about the life of Pete Seger, with guests, including Ani DiFranco, Joe Uehlein, John Nichols, and Sandi Bachom, we're now convinced of the important difference and impact an event like this could make. The thought of making this should be a huge, National, if not Worldwide adventure by holding simultaneous festivals in 4 locations in the USA(say in OR, CO, MI, MA?) and possibly other countries as well. All should be filmed and recorded, the monies deposited into a trust which could be democratically administrated by a committee of maybe 33 or 47 or 99 activists ELECTED BY INDIVIDUALS and voted for by telephone(1-800-ROC-KUPI)? This committee would decide how the money was spent(which causes, cases, priorities, and how to effectively spend assets) This would generate huge sums of $$$ once marketed as TV shows and videos(really should be protected from Free distribution for the good of the cause). The speeches and rallies during the day should be recorded as well Don't know if there's enough time between now and Labor Day, but should not be put off another year, because we're unsure the Planet or Republic can survive much longer if something BIG isn't done to change the Status-Quo and Music IS the Universal Language of Organization .........................

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA)-- Thousands of women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year.
Tamika Felder got the shocking news at age 25. She is now twelve years out from that diagnosis. The cancer has not come back, but her treatment involved chemotherapy, radiation, and the surgical removal of her uterus, or womb.
"It changed my life forever," she says. "When I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, this was before HPV vaccines. No one was really talking about it." Felder has since formed an organization, Tamika & Friends, to make more women aware.
HPV or human papillomavirus is sexually transmitted. It usually doesn't cause symptoms, but it can lead to cervical cancer. There's now a vaccine called Gardasil that adolescents can get. And women can be screened for HPV when they get a Pap test at the gynecologist.
"The test should be an FDA approved test," says Bob Ortega, investigative reporter with the Arizona Republic. An article published in that newspaper this week focuses on SurePath, a test approved for Pap tests, but not screening for HPV.
This June, a bulletin from the FDA and SurePath's maker Becton Dickinson warned laboratories using the test that there's a danger of false-negatives. That is, women who have been infected with the HPV virus might be told they are not. Ortega say that warning never made it much further than the labs.
Ortega told WUSA 9 via satellite: "As a result, the gynecologists, the ones that were giving the tests never found out about it. I talked to gynecologists all over the country, I talked to the leading gynecological associations and none of them were familiar with this issue even 5 and 6 months after the FDA and Becton Dickinson had issued their bulletin."
Ortega continues: "There are two issues here. The first is that obviously if you get something that tells you you are free of HPV, when in fact you aren't, then you might not get treatment that you would need."
The other issue, Ortega says, are the new screening guidelines. Last year, the US Preventative Services Task Force told women they don't need to get a pap test yearly, as long as they don't have HPV. The group says its safe to wait five years. But Felder and other womens' health advocates disagree, especially if a patient gets a false-negative that could allow suspicious cells to multiply and grow.
She says, "It's dangerous telling women to wait every 5 years because I think many women will wait longer unless there is a problem."
Ortega says the take-home message from his investigation is this: women need to ask their gynecologists what HPV test is being done, and to ensure that its one of FOUR that are FDA approved.

Hello, everyone! The North American Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) invites submissions for the Atlas of Design, a new publication dedicated to furthering the art and craft of cartography through inspirational examples. All mapmakers are encouraged to offer their work for consideration. And that most certainly includes folks around here -- the maps you submit need not be of the real world. They need only be examples of high-class, beautiful, inspirational cartographic design. And I've seen plenty of that during my lurking here.
We're putting together a book that's intended to be a gallery of excellent maps, and I hope some of you will consider sending in your work and an artist's statement.
For more details, please visit nacis.org/atlas. And please spread the word to anyone you know who's cartographically-inclined.
P.S. I don't know how many of you know much about NACIS, but it's definitely a group worth checking out. We're mostly professionals cartographers and GIS folk and I understand many of you are hobbyists and the like, but we're a society for all carto-nerds, and really want to connect with map-lovers and great artists whether or not they happen to do this for a living.

Wisconsin DNR reviews safe boating practices
Submitted: 05/27/2016
Play Video
- Memorial Day weekend traditionally kicks off the boating season in Wisconsin.
The Safe Boating Council has designated this week as National Safe Boating Week.
The Wisconsin DNR is charged with enforcing the boating laws of the state.
They typically issue tickets for three common offenses.
"Not enough life jackets on board for everybody on board. Everybody has to have one wearable per person and then if your boat is 16' or over then you have to have one throwable type either a cushion or a round as well." Says DNR Conservation Warden David Walz.
Registration issues rank high on the list.
"And then some registration issues usually earlier in the season people forget about it. There's a lot of different opportunities for people to get their boat registered. Whether it's online or go to a DNR office, they can do it through a registration site as well," says Walz.
Most boats require a registration.
Walz says "In Wisconsin everything that has a motor on it, whether it's a trolling motor or a gas powered motor then the boat is required to be registered with the DNR.
Speed and distance violations round out the top three.
"And then probably the other one is what we call speed and distance laws. You have to go slow no wake within a certain distance. Like on lakes it's the shoreline, docks, rafts and piers where you have to go slow no wake as well," explains Walz.
Walz says some boats require a fire extinguisher. "Any boat considered closed construction is required to have a fire extinguisher. So if you have a false floor on the boat, you know if there's any type of compartments that can trap gas vapors."
Did you know that life jackets are required on paddle boards?
"Some people weren't aware of the law that requires them to have a life jacket available when they are on a paddle board. They don't have to wear it, but it's still a good idea to wear it but they also are required to have one," says Walz
The Wisconsin DNR wants you to have fun, but do so responsibly.
"We always recommend the best time to be drinking is when you're done driving for the day. If you are going to be out in a boat, make sure, just like a car that you have a sober driver," says Walz.

State senate bill debates allowing chiropractors to prescribe certain medications
Submitted: 05/27/2016
Play Video
- During a national push to prescribe fewer painkillers, a new Wisconsin proposal appeared that it would let chiropractors prescribe prescription drugs, including painkillers.
After speaking with one of the bill's authors, that notion is not at all true.
John Murray, the executive director of the Wisconsin Chiropractic Association, which supports the bill, said it was never the bill's intention to include narcotics, or any drugs not related to neuro-muscular skeletal healing. The bill is in its early stages, having had a co-sponsor hearing on Tuesday, and future drafts of the bill will not have that broad language.

Report: State overpaid more than $412,000 in tax credits
Submitted: 05/27/2016

Court orders Walker to turn over Wisconsin Idea records
Submitted: 05/27/2016
- A judge has ruled that Gov. Scott Walker's administration must release most records related to proposed changes to the University of Wisconsin System's mission statement.
Walker in 2015 proposed changing the mission statement known as the "Wisconsin Idea," refocusing it on career readiness instead of public service and seeking a broader truth. He later backed down after a public backlash, saying it was a mistake.

Adipose tissue is the term given to the pockets of dense tissue that women naturally carry on their hips and stomach to aid in childbirth. Fat comprises 80 percent of the volume of this tissue and it can easily dimple and pucker. Areas of adipose tissue are often marked by cellulite.

The Bliss FatGirl collection uses natural ingredients to melt away layers of excess adipose tissue, toning and firming the skin. Safe to use on the breasts, arms, stomach, thighs, buttocks and other areas prone to cellulite, the Bliss FatGirl lineup has formulations for both day and nighttime use.

Wake up refreshed with tighter, smoother skin with this revolutionary cream.
Bliss FatGirl Slim uses the proprietary QuSomes formula to deliver the transforming ingredients its rich cream deep into adipose tissue.
