BROOKLYN, Ny. (WUSA) -- In the first half of Friday night's game, I declared on twitter that the defending national champion Kentucky Wildcats had already beaten the Maryland Terps. That's because the John Calipari led Wildcat's opened up a 10-2 run and Terps were facing a 12 point deficit.
Yes, the game was still within reach but at that point only two guys really came to play. Alex Len was dominating the number one recruit in the nation, Nerlens Noel, and Charles Mitchell was an impacting rebounder in his limited minutes. As the game went on, both men continued to contribute and the rest of the team eventually followed. Even though, they came out of halftime with a 15-4 run, they fell one missed jumper short of victory.
Nonetheless, the fan base in College Park is now excited about this team's potential. Before you go rushing to buy your season tickets, lets examine the good and bad things came out of Friday's prime time matchup.
Good: Alex Len. This was the center I was expecting to see last week in the scrimmage against IUP. He finished Friday's game with 23 points, 12 rebounds, and four blocks. Kentucky did not have an answer on how to slow him down. If he can consistently play this well throughout the season, the Maryland will challenge for the ACC Championship -- and then some.
Bad: Jump shooting. The Terps finished the game shooting 33% from the field and 16% from behind the arc. Len's 55% of shooting from the field actually inflates that stat. It was not just the ill-advised shots that the Wildcats swatted away, but the open jumpers, as well. Some shots, and this being modest, did not even hit the rim. I'll chalk it up to the nerves, but that excuse is already getting old.
Good: Charles Mitchell, Seth Allen, and Jake Layman. Each one of these freshman did their part in the comeback effort. Every time I've spoken to Mitchell, rebounding is always the topic of discussion. He did a lot of it on Friday. He finished the game with 10 boards.
Allen and Layman combined for a mere nine points, but they were the biggest buckets of the night. Until Layman hit his only bucket of the game, the Terps were 0-14 from three point land. His triple made it a two point game. A few minutes later, Allen would add back to back treys to give Maryland their first lead. He would also add three rebounds and five assists before the night was over.
Bad: Nick Faust, Dez Wells, and Shaq Cleare. With all the hype surrounding these three player this off-season, you'd think they'd have a bigger impact. Shaq only played seven minutes. In that time, recorded a dunk and turnover. The best wingmen on the team, Wells and Faust, shot a combined 6 of 27 from the field. At least they remained aggressive.
Good: Rebounding and team hustle. Maryland crashed the boards and dove for every loose ball during the game and it was the biggest difference in the second half. They finally began to translate points from those second half chances and that's what closed the gap. They won the rebounding advantage 46-34, including a 23-12 offensive rebounding difference.
Bad: Pe'shon Howard. I like Pe'shon but he may have lost his starting job to Allen. He shot 1-8 on the night, but that was excusable because no one made baskets. What's inexcusable is for him to take too long to get the ball up court, run into a defender, never pass the ball to his wide open teammates, and then hoist up a shot that won't win you the game even if goes in. It was a bad sequence of events. He does not need the ball in his hands during crucial periods in the game. Period.
Good: New found confidence. Head coach Mark Turgeon and some critics have chalked up the Terps bad play to nerves. After losing a nail biter on national television, throw that excuse out the door. These kids can play. Now we know it and more importantly, they do too. Can't wait to see how Maryland plays with a pep in their step.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA) -- The Maryland Terps came out very slow out of the gate in their last non-conference game of the season against the IUPUI Jaguars. Despite winning 81-63, the Terps defense was really bad at times and their offense couldn't make up for it. Mark Turgeon actually benched his entire starting lineup six minutes in to the game after the team trailed 19 -9. Even though, the bench came in and helped raise the shooting percentage to 52% in the first half, the Terps allowed the Jags to shoot 51.9% in that same span.
After the last game, a couple players said they were excited to finally play their first conference game on Saturday; perhaps they were looking past this game. Or maybe, like some college students do, they went out and had too much fun on New Year's Day (I'm just assuming. I have zero knowledge of the matter.)
The players didn't wake up until Turgeon took of his blazer, got animated, and called some quick timeouts to chew in to them. And as they've consistently done throughout the season, Maryland came out of the locker room firing on all cylinders and put the opponent away.
The teams amazing depth will continue to be an asset and Turgeon has done a great job working guys in to their minutes. For example, Shaq Cleare was expected to be the gem of the recruiting class, but Charles Mitchell and Seth Allen have progressed fast than him. As a result, Cleare began the season averaging single digit minutes, but became a consistent contributor to the rotation as he has improved. That's why his stock is on the rise.
The Stock:
Shaq Cleare - Up
This was his best game of the season and he could be peaking at the right time. Turgeon said Shaq has been practicing very well for about three weeks and he finally showed it today. He said it took him a while to get adjusted because in high school they only had one play - him. Now, he is finally getting adjusted to the college level. I asked him what has changed for him from day one and he responded, "I got in better shape."
Alex Len - Down
Remember when we all were talking about this guy potentially going number one in the NBA Draft. Well, with a schedule filled with under-sized opponents, he sure looks like regular old Alex Len. He's had some excellent games, but he's had more games where he looked invisible. When Turgeon was asked why Len didn't receive the ball more tonight, he said if Len doesn't play well, a play won't be called for him. Will the Alex Len please stand up?
Nick Faust - Down
I think Faust is the key to the Terps success. After Len and Dez Wells, he is the other guy that needs to get going. But lately he can't get his act together. Earlier in the season, he was forcing too many bad shots and now that he is being passive, he is turning the ball over. Turgeon said he trust Faust to make the right decision in a key situation, but if he continues to play this way, you'd think he may go another route.
Seth Allen - Up
Still rising. I expect him to start at some point this year. Either for Pe'Shon Howard or Faust.
Pe'Shon Howard - Up
I've been hard on Pe'Shon because I view him as an offensive liability. Well, he kind of feels the same way. Howard has begun to shoot more because he said wants to get in rhythm by the time conference play comes. Anyone who has watched him play this season knows Howard doesn't shoot the ball often. Now that he is being more aggressive, it should open the floor for others. But here's the flip side: this season, he is only converting 30% from the field. It's awful. If he can't convert his chances, put in someone who can. Like Allen.

Sevier County District Attorney Jimmy Dunn says 21-year-old Tyler Schaeffer was high on a synthetic drug commonly known as bath salts when he collided head-on with a church van.
Schaeffer appeared in court Monday for charges related to the deaths of two people in that crash.
The wreck happened in September on Chapman Highway. Authorities say Schaeffer was driving an SUV that crashed head-on into a Cedar Grove Baptist Church van. They were returning to their Blount County church from a youth retreat in Gatlinburg.
The wreck killed youth leader Jeff Trussell and 16-year-old Courteney Kaliszewski. Ten others were injured.
Schaeffer appeared in court to be arraigned on dozens of charges, including vehicular homicide by intoxication, vehicular assault, DUI, and drug charges.
The family of Trussell and parents of many of the teens injured in the crash were in the courtroom. The Kaliszewski family was absent because of an illness.
Cedar Grove Baptist Pastor Bob Lynch also attended.
He says the past two months were difficult for his congregation. One Sunday after the crash, four young adults attended church in wheelchairs.
But he says watching them heal physically has been healing for them all.
"When the kids started getting better, coming back to church, it began to heal us as we got a chance to see those kids walking on crutches," says Lynch. "It reassured us that life goes on in spite of the loss of Jeff and Courteney."
He says the widow of Jeff Trussell, Kim, has shown remarkable strength.
"She just got a smile and a story that sort of envelopes everybody. She's a great, great person. Because of that she's helped us heal," says Lynch.
Schaeffer told the judge Monday he could not afford an attorney and asked for one to be appointed. A plea date has been set for April 22.

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service's special scrutiny of small-government groups applying for tax-exempt status went beyond keyword hunts for organizations with "Tea Party" or "patriot" in their names, to a more overtly ideological search for applicants seeking to "make America a better place to live" or "criticize how the country is being run," according to a part of an inspector general's report that was given to Congress.
The head of the division on tax-exempt organizations, Lois Lerner, was briefed on the effort in June 2011, seemingly contradicting her assertion on Friday that she learned of the effort from the press. But she seemed to work hard to rein in the focus on conservatives and change it to a look at any political advocacy group of any stripe seeking tax exemptions.
The new information will only add to the criticism that has emerged since Lerner apologized to Tea Party and other conservative groups on Friday for unwarranted scrutiny. A lengthy audit from the Treasury Department's Inspector General for Tax Administration is set to be released this week.
House Republicans have vowed to begin their own hearings and investigations.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine and a prominent moderate, said Sunday on CNN that the singling out of conservative groups was "absolutely chilling."
The IRS has been under pressure from Democrats and campaign-finance watchdogs for some time to crack down on abuse of the 501(c)4 tax exemption, which is supposed to go to organizations primarily promoting "social welfare" but which is routinely granted to overt political advocacy groups.
The appendix of the inspector general's report — which was requested by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and has yet to be publicly released — chronicles the extent to which the IRS's exempt organizations division kept redefining what sort of "social welfare" groups it should single out for extra attention since the 2010 Supreme Court ruling Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. That decision allowed corporations and labor unions to raise and spend unlimited sums on elections as well as register for tax-exempt status under section 501(c)4 of the tax code, as long as their "primary purpose" did not consist of targeting electoral candidates.
The number of political groups applying for tax-exempt status more than doubled in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case, forcing agency officials to make a slew of determinations despite uncertainty about the category's ambiguous definition.
On June 29, 2011, according to the documents, IRS staffers held a briefing with Lerner in which they described giving special attention to instances where "statements in the case file criticize how the country is being run." She raised an objection and the agency adopted a more general set of standards. Lerner, who is a Democrat, is not a political appointee.
But the inspector general's timeline showed the effort to single out Tea Party groups goes back to March 2010 when a special Determinations Unit in the Cincinnati office of the IRS began searching tax-exemption applications from groups using the names "Tea Party," "patriots" or "9/12," a movement begun by Glenn Beck. The unit was also looking for "applications involving political sounding names" like "We the People" or "Take Back the Country," according to the document.
That time frame brought the "Be On the Lookout" list back to the Tea Party movement's early months, well before the November 2010 congressional elections, when the movement helped fuel a historic Republican landslide.
On June 29, 2011, the document states, Lerner was briefed on the effort, and by then the search appeared even more refined to conservative organizations. Beyond "Tea Party," "Patriots" and "9/12 Project," the Cincinnati team was looking at issues of government spending, debt and taxes; education efforts to "make America a better place to live"; and statements in the case file that "criticize how the country is being run."
Lerner said Friday that the terms "Tea Party" and "patriots" were used as a "shortcut" by the unit, not as a tool to single out any one political outlook. But the timeline suggests that the search went well beyond a few keywords. More than 100 applications had been identified by that briefing, using criteria with distinctly conservative undertones.
Just days later, on July 5, a conference call involving Lerner, a manager of the Determinations Unit and others substantially broadened the search to take out its overt conservative bias. Instead, the lookout list was changed to "organizations involved with political, lobbying or advocacy for exemptions under 501(c)3 or 501(c)4," a criteria much more in line with concerns that overt political advocates were receiving special tax protection.
But repeated revisions of the lookout list kept lapsing back to the original search. In January 2012, for instance, the search parameters were again revised to "political action-type organizations involved in limiting/expanding Government, educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, social economic reform/movement," criteria broad enough to ensnare liberal organizations as well but seemingly still homed in on the Tea Party's outspoken views.
On Feb. 29, 2012, just as a rash of news articles began publicizing complaints of harassment from Tea Party applicants, Lerner ordered a stop to the issuance of any additional information request letters by the Cincinnati unit, the beginning of an extended process of pulling back the scrutiny.
The accusations of IRS abuse are sure to fuel an effort that appears to be uniting dispirited Republicans and their conservative political base: investigating Obama and his administration. Republicans are pushing a portrayal of an administration overreaching its authority and punishing its enemies.
"The bottom line is they used keywords to go after conservatives," Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said Sunday on the NBC News program "Meet the Press." He requested the inspector general's audit along with another Republican, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio.
Republicans got little political traction last year when they highlighted the "Fast and Furious" operation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, in which guns that were supposedly being tracked by the agency were instead lost to drug cartels in Mexico.
But the Republican focus on attacks on U.S. officials in Benghazi, Libya, got new life last week when Gregory Hicks, a State Department critic of the military's response, told a House committee that he had been effectively demoted after lodging his criticism.
Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the House majority leader, has promised a broad investigation, and Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said on Friday that he would hold hearings soon.

Laurinaitis dating Bella mom
In a rather strange twist of events, John Laurinaitis is now engaged to be married to Kathy Colace, who happens to be the mother of Brie Bella and Nikki Bella. The two of them revealed the news via social media by posting a photo of themselves at a celebration dinner with John Cena and Nikki. No word yet on whether or not Brie and Daniel Bryan were in attendance, as the two of them did not appear in any of the photos.

Brodus Clay bashes John Cena
Earlier this month, John Cena mentioned the Funkasaurus gimmick during an episode of Monday Night Raw. Brodus Clay was told of that, and he fired back a bit. He stated that the only difference between Cena and PN News is that Cena was given a push. In case you aren't aware, News was a lower card performer in WCW that had a white rapper gimmick during the early 1990s.

John Cena winning
While a lot of WWE fans are overjoyed right now about the Brock Lesnar news, they are about to be brought back down to earth for a bit when they realize that the new contract means that John Cena has a better chance of winning the United States Heavyweight Championship from Rusev at Wrestlemania. Since Lesnar will still be part time, the front office wanted a belt on Cena, so that he can use it to headline live events each week.

John Cena penis
A rather interesting bit of news on John Cena is coming out of Hollywood. Amy Schumer is his costar in an upcoming Judd Apatow movie called Trainwreck. The two of them share a hilarious sex scene together. One segment has Cena walking around with a towel hanging off of his penis. During an interview with E!, she mentioned that it was not his real penis used for that scene. She stated that the prop manager used a broomstick.

Fast Lane main event
Even though the entire card is unlikely to be finalized until the day of the event, WWE knows one thing for sure about Fast Lane. The main event of the pay per view will be the #1 contender match between Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan. The two of them are expected to close out the show. That should come as good news to fans who are constantly complaining about John Cena always being given the final spot on the card.

Brock Lesnar returning to Raw
Good news for those of you who have been complaining that Brock Lesnar does not make enough appearances in WWE. The world heavyweight champion is currently scheduled to be on Monday Night Raw next week. The belief is that he will kick start the promotions for his upcoming title match against John Cena at the Royal Rumble. Management might also have him tease a potential feud with Seth Rollins as well, in order to keep the Money in the Bank briefcase relevant.

If you enjoy fishing, picnicking, camping,
watching wildlife, swimming, hunting, or other outdoor activities, the
18,900 acres of water and the 20,000 acres of land at Rend Lake provide
the ideal setting. Campers are sure to delight in the nearly 800 sites
found in five public campgrounds on Rend Lake, providing access to the
lake through numerous boat ramps and the Rend Lake Marina.
Beaches, picnicking facilities, and trails provide the perfect backdrop for outdoor fun. Nearby attractions such as the 27-hole championship Rend Lake Golf Course and the Southern Illinois Artisans Shop & Visitors Center provide special recreational opportunities. The Rend Lake Resort complex and the Seasons at Rend Lake Resort provide the ideal lodging facilities to complement lakeside recreation.
Rend Lake is one of over 400 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects located across the United States. The Corps is responsible for the overall management of the lake and the public lands that surround it. Two additional agencies, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Rend Lake Conservancy District, provide vital services to lake visitors and the community.
Campgrounds operated by the Corps of Engineers at North and South Sandusky,
South Marcum, and Gun Creek, and by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources
at Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park, offer camping enthusiasts
a wide variety of camping experiences. Nearly 800 campsites, ranging from those
with modern conveniences, to those with a more rustic appeal, grace the shores
of Rend Lake. A campsite reservation program is available for a number of Rend
Lake's campsites. Wheelchair accessible campsites are available by reservation
for persons with disabilities. Some of the campsites at the Wayne Fitzgerrell
State Park are open year-round.
The Dale Miller Youth Area located in the South Marcum Recreation Area, provides an ideal setting for group camping activities. Designed primarily for youth groups, but also for other groups, the area features five cabins, an enclosed picnic shelter with a fireplace, 10 RV/trailer sites, a 16-station fitness trail, a private beach, tennis court, basketball court and a baseball/softball field.
Lakeside picnicking facilities are available in numerous locations around Rend Lake. Picnic shelters are available by reservation, or on a first arrival basis and are ideal for family gatherings or company picnics. Most offer a scenic view of the lake and many have fireplaces, electricity and barbecue grills.
Launch your boat from any of the 27 ramps located around the lake, to enjoy some of the finest recreational boating found anywhere. Boaters plying the Rend Lake Waters in bass boats, house boats or personal watercraft are sure to enjoy the nearly 19,000 acres of waters that comprise the lake. Storage docks, marine fuel, boat sales, and boat repair services are available at the Rend Lake marina. Marine fuel is also available at the Rend Lake Resort, along with the courtesy boat slips.
Perhaps the finest crappie fishing lake in Illinois, Rend Lake anglers will also find abundant populations of largemouth bass, white bass, bluegill, and a variety of catfish. Opportunities for bank and boat fishing abound. A fish stocking program operated cooperatively between the Corps of Engineers and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, helps insure abundant healthy fish populations. Fish shelters made from the yearly harvest of Christmas trees make special fishing holes for many Rend Lake anglers.
Two of the most popular spots on Rend Lake are the clean sandy beaches located at the South Sandusky and North Marcum Recreation areas. With shower and picnic facilities nearby, these areas provide the ideal setting for a day of family fun in the sun.
Your safety while visiting Rend Lake is a prime concern of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Please observe all posted regulations and keep the following tips in mind.
Rend Lake hosts numerous educational activities and special events each year. Programs are offered at Corps campgrounds, beaches and the Rend Lake Visitor Center throughout the summer recreational season. Major special events are offered through the partnership of several organizations. A number of educational programs are available to groups by contacting the Rend Lake Project Office.
The Golden Age Passport is available to those 62 and older, for a one time fee of $10. These passports entitle the user to half-price discounts on all recreational use fees at Rend Lake. Golden Access Passports are available to those with permanent physical disabilities and entitle the user to the same discounts.
For many years, Rend Lake has been known as the premier public waterfowl hunting site in Illinois. A comprehensive wildlife management program on nearly 20,000 acres of public lands that surround Rend Lake, provides habitat for waterfowl, upland game and non-game species. Outstanding public hunting areas for deer, quail, rabbits, dove, ducks and geese surround the lake. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers play an important role in managing both hunting and non-hunting wildlife areas at Rend Lake. Numerous boat ramps and parking areas make access easy.
Visitors will find opportunities to explore nature at Rend Lake, on foot, on bicycles or on horseback. Hikers can enjoy several trails at Rend Lake including the Blackberry Nature Trail and a one-mile trail at the Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park. Also available at the State Park is a 9 mile-equestrian trail. Bicyclists and hikers can also enjoy a paved one mile trail in the South Sandusky Recreation Area, and a network of paved trails at the North Marcum Recreation Area.
Abundant opportunities are available for those who enjoy watching or photographing wildlife. Rend Lake viewing opportunities are shown in the Rend Lake Guide to Watchable Wildlife. Look for the binocular logo while in the Rend Lake area. Wildlife viewing towers and trails are available in several locations.
The Rend Lake project began as the dream of a group of concerned citizens who in 1955 formed the Rend Lake Conservancy District in an effort to address water supply problems in the area. The formation of this group was preceded by two years of serious drought in the region. The Flood Control Act of 1962 authorized the Corps of Engineers to build a 19,000 acre multi-purpose reservoir to be named Rend Lake. The authorized purposes of the project include flood control on the Big Muddy and Mississippi Rivers, water supply, water quality control, fish and wildlife conservation, recreation and area redevelopment.
Since 1972 the Rend Lake Conservancy District
has operated the Rend Lake Intercity Water System that today provides
approximately 300,000 people in more than 60 communities with a water
supply. The Conservancy District began expanding operations in 1976 with
the addition of a public golf course and restaurant. Other Conservancy
District operations include the Rend Lake trap range and hunting preserve
and a resort hotel called "Seasons at Rend Lake."
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources manages the more than three thousand acre Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park at Rend Lake that includes the Rend Lake Resort and a large campground. The agency also manages approximately 12,000 acres of Rend Lake lands and waters for wildlife management purposes, which includes a 5,000-acre waterfowl refuge on the northern end of the lake. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has worked with the Corps of Engineers since planning for the Rend Lake project began. The partnership between the agencies continues today to help provide the best recreational opportunities to visitors, while enhancing the area for wildlife.
Construction of the sixty million dollar Rend Lake project began in June 1965. The initial filling of the reservoir was complete in May 1972. Located on the Big Muddy River, Red Dam is 103.7 river miles from the Mississippi River. The dam creates a lake with a surface area of 18,900 acres at the top of the joint-use pool which is elevation 405 ft. NGVD (National Geodetic Vertical Datum).
Subimpoundment dams were constructed on both of the major tributaries to the lake, approximately 10 miles upstream of Rend Dam. These structures help create an approximately 5,000 acre wildlife management area on the northern end of the lake.

Reminiscent of the shag rugs of the 1970's, Comfort Shag is a modern take on a classic. Hand-tufted of 100% mod-acrylic, these rugs feature a soft hand and a thick, rich pile.
This is my first experience buying from RUGSUSA; indeed, a first in ordering a rug without personally inspecting it firsthand. Hence, there was some apprehension before the Momemi comfort shag arrived, but I can hardly be more pleased. The pictures on the website helped with my decision to purchase, especially a photo that was a close-up of the weave and texture. We had just redone our master bedroom, and this canary yellow beauty really brightens up the space, and compliments the light gray colored walls. The only reason I didn't grade this product a 5 - I'm waiting to see how well it wears. Feels great under bare ...RECOMMENDED: Yes!
This is a very high quality rug. I had the same one and replaced it after 7 years. My only complaint is it sheds quite a bit and needs constant vacuuming.RECOMMENDED: Yes!
I bought this rug in round. I love it - feels so comfortable. You need a pad for underneath it but that's pretty standard. I wish it came in a bigger round size, because I had to move the furniture around a little to make it look better in the roomRECOMMENDED: Yes!

SPRINGDALE, Ark. (TRAVELERS) - The rosters for the 2013 Texas League All Star Game have been released today and the Arkansas Travelers placed a league-high seven players on the North Division squad. First baseman C.J. Cron and catcher Jett Bandy were voted to start the game, which for the first time will be played at Arvest Ballpark in Springdale on June 25th.
Second baseman Taylor Lindsey and outfielder Randal Grichuk were voted as reserves for the North team along with four pitchers; Brandon Hynick, Lay Batista, Kevin Johnson and Mike Piazza. Votes were cast by managers, beat writers and broadcasters from each Texas League city.
Cron's steady bat has been an important factor in the Travs drive towards the end of the first half. His .299 batting average and 34 RBI are both team-leading totals as are his 69 base hits and 18 doubles. The Angels first pick in 2011 out of the University of Utah has collected at least one hit in 48 of 58 games played while committing just two errors at first base.
Bandy's all-star nod adds credence to his stellar first half where he's caught in 41 of 61 games played by the Travs. It was expected that Bandy would split time at catcher, but with the suspension of Carlos Ramirez at the start of the season Bandy's playing time increased. The Travs own a 21-17 record with the Angels' 2011 31st round pick behind the plate. The 23-year old Bandy leads all Texas League catchers in caught stealing rate gunning down 40.5 percent of opposing base stealers.
Lindsey, 21, and Grichuk have both recovered from slow starts to become two of the more dominant hitters in the Texas League. On May 7th the batting averages were nearly identical for the two first-round choices at .181 for Lindsey and .182 for Grichuk. In the 30 games played since May 8th, Lindsey ranks third in the Texas League in OPS (1.047), batting average (.359) and base hits (42) while posting the second-highest slugging percentage (.641). Grichuk, 21, is right behind Lindsey with the TL's eighth-best OPS (1.004) and fourth-best slugging percentage (.633).
Lindsey, the 37th overall pick in 2010, currently holds a .278/.329/.491 slash line with a team-high 10 home runs and 29 RBI after posting two triples and his second home run in as many games last night. Grichuk, the 24th overall selection of the 2009 draft, is batting .256/.309/.478 with eight home runs, 24 RBI, 11 doubles and five triples.
Hynick, who gets the start Tuesday night at Northwest Arkansas, joined the Travs after a three-week stint at extended spring training due to an oblique strain. After initially struggling in two starts, Hynick has become one of the more dependable starters in the Texas League and currently holds the league's tenth-lowest ERA at 3.40. His four wins and 2.18 ERA in his last seven starts rank fourth-best amongst TL pitchers since May 1. The 28-year old from North Royalton, Ohio, signed with the Angels as a free agent in November 2011.
Batista leads the Travs with 11 games started and 59.1 innings pitched out of the rotation. The 23-year old from Santiago, Dominican Republic owns a 3-5 record with a 4.10 ERA. He allows the fifth-lowest batting average amongst Texas League starting pitchers (.243) and has a 2.4 K/BB ratio (45 K/19 BB).
Piazza, 26, gets his first all Texas League all star nod in a season that has seen him bounce between the bullpen and starting rotation. After starting Monday's 6-5 loss at NW Arkansas, Piazza is 2-2 with a 4.13 ERA in 14 appearances including eight starts. The Florida Tech product who signed as a free agent with the Angels in 2009 is holding batters to a .205 average when working in relief.
Johnson, 24, currently ranks third in the Texas League with eight saves although he has been without a save chance since May 16. In 22 appearances Johnson has been one of the Travs' relief workhorses with 26.2 innings pitched and a 2.70 ERA. The Angels' 20th round choice in 2010 has blown just one save chance and has walked just six batters while striking out 15.

Two hours of music and stories from one of Canada's musical legends. Playing with The Guess Who, Bachman Turner Overdrive and as a solo act, Randy Bachman has provided a veritable soundtrack to the last thirty years of popular music. Now he's come to CBC Radio to play his favourite songs and tell stories from his life on the road and in the studio.
See also: Randy's Vinyl Tap
Sundays at 6 p.m. (6:30 p.m. NT), Radio One Saturdays at 7 p.m. (8 p.m. AT, 8:30 p.m. NT)
Also heard on satellite radio SiriusXM channel 169 on Saturday 7:00 p.m. ET and Fridays 11:00 p.m. ET
Born in Canada, Randy Bachman has become a legendary figure in the rock and roll world through his talents as a guitarist, songwriter, performer and producer. He has earned over 110 gold and platinum album/singles awards around the world for performing and producing. His song writing has garnered him the covete d #1 spot on radio play lists in over 20 countries and he has amassed over 40 million records sold. His songs have been recorded by numerous other artists and placed in dozens of television, movie and commercial soundtracks. His music has provided a veritable soundtrack of the last thirty years of popular music.
He first scored Billboard radio chart success with his band The Guess Who in 1965 performing the song, Shakin' All Over. After this initial success it would be another few years before the glare of the spotlight would be cast upon these young Canadian boys again. Sticking it out through some misadventures paid off for the band and they worked their way back up to the top of the charts in a spectacular way. This time, The Guess Who went on to virtually own the pop charts with an unprecedented run of 5 million-selling singles, all the product of the gold plated Randy Bachman-Burton Cummings song writing team. By 1970, The Guess Who had sold more records than the entire Canadian recording industry to that point, even outselling the Beatles that year. Their hits included These Eyes, Laughing, Undun, No Time, No Sugar Tonight and American Woman.

The South Dakota State women used their home court superiority to win their Summit League opener.
Senior Tara Heiser (Watertown) scored a team-high 11 points off the bench as the South Dakota State women's basketball team (10-7, 1-0) defeated IUPUI (10-6, 0-1), 63-57, Thursday night in front of 1,613 fans in Frost Arena.
The win extends the Jackrabbits' home-winning streak to 11 games dating to last season.
Senior Hannah Strop (New Prague, Minn.) had a game-high eight rebounds for the Jacks while senior Steph Paluch (Pierre) dished a game-high four assists and added six caroms.
DeAirra Goss' 21 points led IUPUI. Akilah Sims added 12 points.
SDSU opened the second half leading by nine, 32-23, but IUPUI battled to take a 42-40 lead after a 12-0 run. The Jaguars' Goss scored seven points during the run that ended on SDSU junior Gabby Boever's (Worthington, Minn.) layup with 8:05 left.
After a layup by Sims at the 7:55 mark gave IUPUI a 44-42 lead, the Jackrabbits went on a 10-2 run over a 3:37 span to take a 52-46 lead.
IUPUI got as close as three points twice, the last at 58-55, with 1:08 remaining, but Paluch sank five of six free throws in the final 35 seconds for the win.
South Dakota State took a first half lead when Heiser scored six of the Jacks' eight points on an 8-0 run for a 17-12 lead with 11:46 left. The Jackrabbit defense then took over, holding IUPUI to just six points on six free throws over an 11:26 span before Mikale Rogers made a layup with 1:39 left in the half.
South Dakota State returns to action Saturday in Summit League play, facing Fort Wayne at 4 p.m. in Frost Arena.

One of the strengths, I propound, of Zimbra has been the crowd-sourced ideas, developer contribution, and users' bug-catching, that has been possible through the forum, but especially through Zimbra bugzilla; combined with users and purchasers to be able to at least get a taste of future development.
However, heading down the opposite road to Google, Zimbra opensource looks set to lose these benefits from part of its featureset.
As of now, or in the case of Briefcase, as of Zimbra 9 (JudasPriest) or possibly Zimbra 10 (Korn), the following are being developed separately from the main integrated product:
Briefcase file management and editing > Vmware Horizone data (proprietary, closed development)
IM (beta) > Integration into Voice SDK/Socialcast/other proprietary extensions
Workspace - idea only mooted > now to be provided by integration into Vmware Socialcast
Zimbra Voice SDK features - proprietary, network-version only
Voice, File management, IM, and group collaboration are still being developed and taken forward, but through proprietary means, rather than opensource means. Furthermore, proprietary or not, all these features will (or can someone confirm otherwise?) be in closed development.
So, these features will not be a part of bugzilla, thus will not be easily open to ideas or contributions from users and developers. Indeed, there may still be the possibility of contributing via email or comment form - but that very clearly will not be open development, plus it's bad enough getting a timely response from Vmware for bugzilla or licensing.
Understandably, Vmware wants to recoup sufficient profit from its investments in Zimbra. Vmware appears to be targetting enterprise and large academic customers, rather than small business, individuals, non profits. Enterprise may suit multi-layered, and multi-provision of complex server products - fragmented across different products. Smaller customers want a simple, all-in-one, solution which is still a powerful collaboration tool.
At the very least can Vmware Zimbra, Horizon Data, Voice features, Socialcast integration, and IM, be developed in the open (if not opensource) so that the community can ensure the product(s) develop to suit the diverse userbase, and can contribute, monitor, and innovate?
Also, Vmware would be well-advised to re-consider the needs of small and medium businesses, non profits, government, and individuals, and product users, who need a single payment system for a single integrated product solution - rather than a complex matrix.
Vmware would do well to realise that one of the unique selling points of Zimbra versus Google, and to an extent Microsoft, is the integrated user interface, highly-integrated tagging, and visual unity, and the concept of items regardless of form (whether they be email, call, file, appointment, task, contact) - as opposed to:
- Google's fragmented, messy, and separated apps, mail, files, calendar etc... It makes for an unfocussed and pyschologically-split working environment.
- Microsoft's online/Outlook collaboration environment is more unified, but still fragmented by the separation of files management, and by the extensive reliance of external modules as opposed to built-in features.

That's the sound of our train, friends, making its way into our last country in our World Tour of Card Making. It's been one heckuva ride, I've gotta tell you, from my home to yours and all those creative and inspiring houses in between.
I don't know about you, but I have found a lot of joy in this past week. As I was preparing to put this all together, I looked at hundreds and hundreds of blogs, mostly at random as I clicked from blogroll to blogroll, and I became more and more awed as I realized the depth and breadth of this little hobby of ours.
Like you, I've been so interested to see the different styles that are popular in the many countries we've visited, and I've been equally surprised to see the same products I love on projects coming from so many different places and cultures.
I've loved to see the different languages and the different perspectives, I've had a great time reading all your comments, and I've loved seeing all the blogs that have been linked in each post via Mr. Linky, but mostly I've felt so glad to have made so many new friends. I'm enthralled with the idea that we can make touching connections with one another through the inspiration we all have to offer on a regular basis through our blogs.
But I'm sounding rather reflective already and we still have one more country to visit, the United States! I hope you didn't party too much last night so that you have the energy you'll need to visit these moxie fab blogs, friends! And even if you're feeling a little bleary-eyed, with a cotton mouth, and a little sore from all that dancing you did last night, I know that you can push yourself through one more day of card making bliss! Ready or not, here America comes!
We begin with this whimsical card by Amy Rohl:
Next stop--Becky Olsen's house:
Out the window to your right--Lisa Dorsey's place:
After the hill and just past those trees you'll find Michelle Giraud:
We've got some flatland to cover next, but as soon as we're past that, Sharyn Tormanen's project will be revealed:
OK. Be patient while we climb this hill, friends. Wait for it...wait for it...there! A moxie fab project by Beate Johns!
...and just after that, see it ahead in the distance? This fun card by Charlene Cundy:
Do you see it? The waterfall up in the mountains there? Well just to the left is this beautiful card by Melissa Phillips:
And last but certainly not least, here's a project by Heather Nichols that will just warm your heart for your journey home:
You likey these? If so, leave a comment here and then hop on over to these amazing blogs to see their World Card Making Day cards.

We have come to the proverbial end of the road, friends. And just like at the close of all great vacations, there is a sense of trepidation as we realize that our fun time has had to end. But we'll be glad to sleep in our own beds, get back into the familiar rhythm of our routines, and let the depth of our experience wrap us in its warm glow as the next few days pass.
Besides, World Card Making Day is TOMORROW--and that's what this countdown has been all about!Thanks for coming on this tour with me friends! Be sure and tune in to Paper Crafts Connection today to see how I and my fellow editors will be spending World Card Making Day, and MAKE SURE you stop by there tomorrow for a chance to win what Kelly is calling, and I quote, "a paper crafting jackpot!"
Exhausted but exhilarated,
PS Do you live in the US? Do you have a paper crafting blog? Be sure and link it up here because we'd all just love the chance to stop by and say "hello"!

Transportation will continue to be an important advocacy issue in 2013 for park and recreation agencies and professionals. The New Year brings implementation of a new federal law (MAP-21) as well as a "new Congress."
To keep you ahead of the curve on these issues, we're sharing some insights on transportation that you should be aware – including offering you the chance to comment on the early days of implementation for the parts of MAP-21 which cover walking and biking.
By now, you should be aware of the major changes impacting walking and biking and parks and recreation under MAP-21. Previously dedicated funding under the Transportation Enhancements (TE) and Safe Routes to School has now been replaced with a much broader category of eligible projects under the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP). Trails and walking/biking safety projects remain eligible, but now must compete for significantly less dollars with other road projects.
This competition isn't simply at the state level, either. MAP‐21 gives Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) more responsibility for distributing federal transportation funds. MPOs serving areas with more than 200,000 residents are required to use a competitive process to select projects for funding through the Transportation Alternatives Program.
DOT Wants to Hear From You on MAP-21
If your state or MPO is already implementing parts of MAP-21, the US Department of Transportation (DOT), under their Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is seeking input from you since you are eligible for the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funds. DOT has asked us to share with you this survey to seek basic data on how states and MPOs are adjusting to the creation of the program. Please respond to this questionnaire no later than Tuesday, January 15.
We realize that it's "early days" and that Final Guidance on much of these programs has not yet even been released by the DOT/FHWA, but any comments or insight you can provide would be very helpful. Your response will be kept confidential and only submitted as part of the overall reply to the DOT from NRPA, not as individual members.
What's to come with the New T&I Committee
The House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee (T&I) is starting the year with a new Chairman (Bill Shuster of PA) and new members on both the majority and minority side. In a recent Roll Call column the new committee chair shared his outlook for the new Congress stating that the committee is focused on strengthening America's national transportation network. He also said that "the committee will pursue an aggressive oversight agenda," and that "Oversight of the recently enacted MAP-21 will be critical…"
NRPA's Public Policy staff is actively engaged in meeting with new House and Senate member offices. The new Congress was sworn in on January 3 and most Members are just now selecting staff to handle their committee assignments, but we're making sure that they know NRPA has important issues before the T&I Committee, including walking and biking policy.
What are you views on the new MAP-21 and implications on park and recreation agencies? What do you want to let your Senators and Representatives know about the role parks and recreation has in transportation?

Florissant, MO (KSDK) - An 18-year-old woman was raped Wednesday night on the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus, university police said.
According to Captain Sallaman of the UMSL Police Department, the incident happened after 9 p.m. near the Research Parking Lot on campus.

The woman told police she lost consciousness and that's when the man raped her, Sallaman said.
University police said the suspect was not affiliated with the school.
