|Local CJRA rodeo event draws hundreds; runs without a hitch
|Written by April Peregoy
Those who were out and about the town of Holyoke over the past weekend may have noticed an increased amount of traffic in the area. That's because rodeo fans from far and near were drawn here for the Colorado Junior Rodeo Association's rodeo event, held at Phillips County Fairgrounds on Saturday and Sunday, May 16 and 17.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- We have a follow-up to a story we first shared with you last week. It's about Paul Smith, the Maryland inmate serving a 20-year sentence for burglary.
Paul's parents allege he is severely mentally ill and has been in solitary confinement for four years. The Maryland Department of Corrections calls it segregation, and says for inmates like Paul, it's for their own safety and that of other inmates.
WUSA9 reporter Andrea McCarren spoke to Paul's brother who offers a shattering portrait of what it's like growing up with a sibling who's mentally ill.
"He would always say I'm going to go in the kitchen and get a knife. You don't know if he's going to stab himself or stab you," recalled Michael Smith, the brother of mentally ill inmate, Paul Smith. "It was kind of like a day by day like 'Am I gonna live today?'"
Photographs depict a happy family, but look closely at one holiday picture and you'll see a teenage boy with an electronic monitoring device on his ankle.
"I would say about 80% of the violence was directed toward me. I was three years younger than him, I was weaker than him," said Michael.
Even so, Michael looked up to Paul-at times, he was a sweet, protective big brother. But when the dark cloud of mental illness rolled in, he would inflict extraordinary pain.
"It made every day one of the hardest days of your life," he said. "Everything from punch, kick, bite, choke."
In this household, violence was the calling card.)
"The violence was so extreme. You think of everyday brothers fighting, you know just kind of push and shove and maybe a little hit and then, it's done. No, this was HOURS. Hours long worth of fighting. Bloodshed. Police coming to the house. It was a broken home when the mental illness really took over," said Michael.
Paul was diagnosed with autism and ADHD at a young age. Later treated for bipolar disease, paranoia, impulse control and explosive disorders, among others.
Michael told us, "I remember my parents telling me he doesn't feel good, he's sick, he doesn't understand why he's doing these things."
Today, Paul sits behind bars at North Branch, Maryland's only maximum security prison. His inability to conform to prison rules has led to more punishment-all visitors and phone calls have been banned for the last two years, even from his parents.
"He was so unrecognizable. I didn't even recognize how thin he was, how long his hair was, how long his beard was, how just unclean he was," said Michael.
Only after we started asking questions about Paul's condition, was his family invited to visit him. They were stunned at how much he had deteriorated.
"Delusional. Talking about seeing things that don't even exist," said Michael. "Talking about how people are skin-covered robots and how this black blob takes over his body. He doesn't know why. Now he can't get a shower because of electrical impulses in his body. It was just rough. And then he would look at us and say don't you understand?"
Separated by glass, Paul's family was unable to hug him, unable to offer their mentally ill son a reassuring touch.
"It was very gut-wrenching. It was almost to the point where we no longer knew Paul. He was gone. He was still there... his body was still there, but his mind was just gone," he said.
Paul's parents say the morning after our initial report aired, the prison immediately began evaluating his mental health. The Department of Corrections says our reporting had nothing to do with that, that all inmates are evaluated when they enter a prison, and that mental health treatment is available-although it's often refused.
The DOC adds that North Branch has two units dedicated to handling inmates struggling with mental illness.

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - David Murphy stroked a go-ahead three-run
homer in the sixth and the Texas Rangers won a slugfest, 11-8, over the
Detroit Tigers on Sunday in the finale of a four-game set.
Texas recorded 18 of the 31 total hits for the game, which featured five lead
changes and saw Detroit third baseman Miguel Cabrera hit three home runs for
just the second time in his career.
Murphy's blast off Jose Ortega (0-1) represented three of the 10 runs scored
for Texas between the fifth and seventh innings, with the left fielder
finishing 2-for-3 with four RBI and two runs scored.
Adrian Beltre had four hits and knocked in a pair of runs, while Lance Berkman
and Mitch Moreland had two RBI apiece to help the Rangers take three of four
in this set and collect their 12th win in 16 games.
Robbie Ross (2-0) tossed a scoreless seventh inning to pick up the win and Joe
Nathan locked down his 13th save in the ninth.
Despite knocking in five runs and going a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate,
Cabrera was unable to keep the Tigers from dropping their eighth contest in 12
Neither starter made it through five innings, with Texas starter Derek Holland
getting tagged for four runs on eight hits and needing 106 pitches to get
through 4 2/3 frames. Detroit's Doug Fister lasted just as long, giving up
five runs on nine hits.

At the end of my article I would like to thank my unnamed brother who carried out all the meat while I took pics and my unnamed nephew who actually found my buck of a lifetime, as well as my good buddy who didn't get a deer this year because he did all the scouting for me. I also took him along on my elk hunt because I didn't know how to bugle.
I would also like to thank myself for enduring my incredible training regimen that got me into sheep shape even though I was only hunting whitetailed deer. All that extra time at the range really paid off when after shooting 7 times, I accidentally shot the buck in the rear end at 800 yards and somehow cut an artery. Somehow, that long-range shooting prowess didn't make it into the article. But, we did high fives all around and just couldn't believe how much we under estimated the size of this buck. No ground shrinkage on this one.
A special thanks to my wife for understanding why I spent all our money and was gone six months again this year, leaving her to raise our kids alone when she wasn't working her other job. She's a jewel and I really don't deserve her. I am looking forward to the time when I can take the kids with me and pass along this heritage.
I would also like to thank my Creator for making this big buck and allowing me to luck into him. It really was the buck of a lifetime because he's the only one I've ever killed.

(WUSA) -- Next Thursday, golfers will tee of in the AT&T National's return to Congressional Country Club. Yesterday, the field was announced for this year's tournament.
Tiger Woods makes his return to his tournament after not playing in it last year. The former number one ranked golfer in the world won his own tournament three years ago, when it was last held at Congressional.
Hunter Mahan joins Tiger Woods as the only golfers ranked in the top 10 to participate in the AT&T National. The two are also the only golfers in the field with multiple wins on tour in 2012. Mahan has finished no lower than 12th in the AT&T National when it's been played at Congressional, including a second place finish to Woods in 2009.
Jim Furyk also will be a part of the AT&T National field. For Furyk, the tournament represents his first action on tour since the U.S. Open. The 42-year old was tied for the lead at Olympic Golf Club after the second and third rounds, only to falter in the final round before finishing tied for fourth.
Nick Watney will attempt to become the first golfer to win the AT&T National in back-to-back years. Watney won at Aronimink Golf Club last year by two strokes over fellow 2012 participant, and 2007 winner, K.J. Choi.
In addition to some of the more established names on tour participating in the AT&T National, youth also will be served.
The tournament will be just the second one for Patrick Cantlay as a pro. Cantlay turned pro this week following the U.S. Open. He is currently competing in the Traveler's Championship.
The AT&T National will mark the first tournament since the U.S. Open for 17-year old Beau Hossler. Hossler is coming off an impressive performance in San Francisco. The rising high school senior finished tied for 29th, and briefly led the U.S. Open during the second round.
Listed below is the entire field for the AT&T National, and the alternates.

May 31, 2016
Mississippi Auditor Stacey Pickering is calling on lawmakers to write new, stricter rules on computing how much state money goes to local schools.
The Republican told the House Appropriations Committee Tuesday that he can't approve the Mississippi Adequate Education Program formula, as required by law, because his office has found unreliable numbers on attendance, students receiving free lunch and other items.
The MAEP formula is based partly on average daily attendance.
But Pickering says different districts have different attendance policies, which means schools may get the same amount of money even when students at some schools attend for longer or shorter times than those at other schools.
Pickering says it's possible some districts are inflating numbers for attendance or free or reduced-price lunches to get more state money.

Leaving the Right Soleprint
Posted By etnies in Skate, Surf, Snow, BMX, Skip To The Comments (17)
Jun 14 2007 / Thursday
For Immediate Release – June 12, 2007
Lake Forest, Calif. – Driven by his vision and spirit for a company successful on the balance sheet, the streets, the slopes, the ocean and ultimately on our amazing planet, Pierre Andre Senizergues embodies the genuine qualities as a true leader by revolutionizing the future of action sports and the way Sole Technology does business. For his environmental endeavors, Senizergues was honored on June 9 at the 11th Annual Global Green USA and Green Cross International Millennium Awards as this year's recipient of the Corporate Environmental Leadership Award. As CEO and founder of Sole Technology, parent company to top action sports brands etnies, éS, Emerica, Altamont and ThirtyTwo, Senizergues has set a positive example for his peers in business and media by greening his company and speaking out about the need to take action to protect the environment and leaving the right footprint, or in Pierre's case, soleprint.
In 2002, under the leadership of Senizergues, Sole Technology began making changes to protect the environment in their business practices. Recently, Sole Technology added to its list the conversion to waterless urinals at its headquarters to promote water conservation. Saving up to 250,000 gallons of water each year, that's equivalent to approximately an Olympic size swimming pool, three million cups of coffee, and what matters most to the action sports industry, two and a half million bottles of beer.
In addition to Senizergues' vision and full commitment to corporate responsibility other initiatives include the installation of 616 solar panels, the conversion to water-based cement manufacturing, company-wide recycling efforts, the addition of the first-ever environmental affairs manager and the launch of a sustainable footwear and apparel collection, the etnies SEED Project. Senizergues has also recently teamed up with Leonardo Dicaprio and Tree Media as executive producer for the upcoming and highly-anticipated documentary, THE 11th HOUR, set to open in theaters in fall 2007. Senizergues supports the film in hopes to create awareness and discussion around the issues we are facing and the environmental movement to motivate people to reduce the size of footprint they leave behind on our planet and for future generations.
Global Green USA was founded by former president Mikhail Gorbachev and serves as a national environmental organization addressing and creating a new approach to solving the world's most pressing environmental challenges by reconnecting humanity to the environment. Senizergues' name is added to a prestigious list of past Millennium Award recipients like Leonardo DiCaprio, Ted Turner, Joan Bavaria, Paul Hawken, Gary Hirshberg, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, David Suzuki, Winona LaDuke, Ray Anderson, and many more outstanding leaders.
"I'm honored personally and professionally to recognize a leader like Pierre that understands the important connection between humankind and the environment," says Matt Peterson, CEO of Global Green. "Global Green recognizes those unique leaders who embody our mission and are an inspiration to others."
Known for pioneering technological advances in skateboard footwear, Pierre Andre Senizergues and Sole Technology have stayed true to its skateboarding roots while pushing the envelope as a corporate leader of sustainability in the industry and will continue its efforts in doing the right thing. Check out Pierre's award presentation.

Valued at slightly over €5 billion, Poland is the sixth-largest drug market in Europe, according to classifications by the European Pharmaceutical Market Research Association. The country's pharmaceutical industry is shaped by high generic penetration and government-dictated cost-containment which limits market access to innovation.
Additionally unique to Poland are minimal price spreads between generic and innovative drugs. Pawel Sztwiertnia, general director of INFARMA, the leading association for R&D companies in Poland, notes that "the average price of innovative originator products is one of the lowest in Europe. Subsequently, there are expensive generic products in Poland when compared to the average originator product prices in Europe. This is due to a market structure overpowered by generics. IMS Health data demonstrates that the average generic price is roughly 70% of that of an originator."
As Sztwiertnia explains, "The system in Poland reduces the already very limited window for innovative products. When a company manages to establish its product on the reimbursement list, it can then be prescribed by any doctor and be made available in every pharmacy. Thus, from the government's perspective, there is always the fear that reimbursement costs will skyrocket if a new product is added to the list. Reimbursement costs are very difficult to control; monitoring of prescriptions is practically nonexistent in Poland. There are no specialized categories of drugs that specialists could prescribe under certain conditions. For instance, because many patients need treatment for diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, the government is afraid that costs could grow out of control."
Despite the prevalence of generics, INFARMA assesses that market growth for innovative drugs is quite sustainable in Poland. Compound annual growth of 8.5% for innovative medicines from 2007 to 2010 exceeds EU-15 markets over the same period, a trend that reflects growth in value more so than volume.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Garrett Hartley kicked a 20-yard field in overtime, and the New Orleans Saints damaged Dallas' playoff hopes with a 34-31 victory against the Cowboys on Sunday.
Drew Brees threw for 446 yards and three touchdowns and led a drive to the winning kick. The Saints all but clinched it when a fumble by Marques Colston rolled forward about 20 yards to the Dallas 2. Jimmy Graham recovered.
The Cowboys lost despite rallying for two touchdowns in the final 3:35 of regulation. Tony Romo, who threw for 416 yards and four scores, hit Miles Austin for the tying touchdown with 15 seconds left in regulation.
The playoff hopes for the Saints (7-8) ended with Minnesota's victory against Houston. The Cowboys (8-7) had a three-game winning streak snapped and lost control of their playoff fate.

Trey Hillman Media Session: September 22
Sir Zack Greinke
With Royals pitcher Zack Greinke getting the nod tonight against the Boston Red Sox, how concerned or cautious is manager Trey Hillman going to be with his ace so soon after being struck by a line-drive off the bat of Detroit's Miguel Cabrera? "There are a few more factors involved now with Zack, we might be a little tentative with him, but it ultimately comes down to trusting that Zack will let us know how he feels. He has never given me a reason to doubt him, be it his ability or the seriousness of his health. Zack knows his body so we don't have to pull teeth to get an honest answer out of that kid. He does not waver, his mentality does not change, and you always know what you are going to get from him both mentally and physically," exclaimed Hillman.
The Same Yet So Different
The end of the season is shaping up to look eerily similar to that of the 2008 season. Hillman agrees, but says to a certain extent there are some differences. "In both years we were trying to leave a good taste in our mouths going into the offseason. We have stayed consistent, worked hard, and not quit in both years. However, this season has been much more challenging bringing on more difficult situations and more strenuous circumstances. The injuries that have plagued us make this year's final push much more different then last year's. The result hopefully will be the same, good baseball, hard work, and a consistent effort every night, but you never know, you just play as hard as you can."

Five Questions With Kourtney Camy
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
Last season Camy transferred to Iowa State after a short stint with Arkansas State. After sitting out a year while redshirting, Camy has been a key component to the Cyclone defense leading Iowa State to a 4-4 record so far this season.
Cyclones.com caught up with the freshman defender.
Why did you choose Iowa State?
I actually knew Coach Minatta previously, when he was a coach in Colorado. When I was transferring it seemed like a good fit for me.
Did last year help you prepare for this year?
I only spent about two weeks at Arkansas State, just the preseason and then I transferred. It was good to experience the preseason aspect of it to know what college soccer is all about. I think that it helped me mature as a player and as a student. It helped me become more ready for college than I was before.
Describe your relationship with Coach Minatta?
I look up to him a lot. He is a really strong coach and a really strong person. I think that he is awesome for Iowa State, and I am happy to have the opportunity to play for him.
If you had to be one super hero who would you be?
Probably Superman because he does it all.
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be?
Most likely some type of Mexican food.
Cyclones.com will be introducing other players throughout the season. Check back later for our next player introduction.

Caterer: Bart's Catering and Fine Food
Read on to hear from Rebecca about how she and Chris budgeted for their gray and yellow wedding and thing she would have done differently!
How Rebecca and Chris budgeted for their wedding:
We waited a few weeks after getting engaged to sit down and have a good talk about what would be realistic for our wedding day. From there, we planned out how we were going to save money together over our 16 month engagement. We made a list of what was important and a priority to us. We chatted with our families about the same. The engagement was a great catalyst for us to sit down and talk about our finances as a couple (beyond the wedding) which helped us go into our marriage on the same page financially.
What Rebecca would have done differently:
1. Buy more booze and discuss with your bartender. Our venue required us to provide our own alcohol and to hire a bartender (who we hired through our caterer). We decided to go beer, wine and 2 signature cocktails, which made it easier on us to purchase. I researched quantities, the average amount people drink, calculated, rounded up, double calculated and then rounded up more. Yet, Chris and I found ourselves running out of many of the options, discussing this mid-reception and requesting (an awesome!) uncle to head to the beer store to get more. Part of this is that the bartender/caterer kept thinking they were "out" of alcohol, but really they had "lost" it (aka, it was in the fridge... out of sight, out of mind I guess). Part of this was that we were serving out of mason jars, which are larger than normal size drink glasses. It all worked out fine, most the guests did not notice or care. Overall, I would've liked to buy more alcohol (you can always take it home) or discuss options more thoroughly with the bartenders ahead of time. I wish I would have re-emphasized not to pour the liquor drinks ALL the way up the mason jar. If you have a signature cocktail, discuss the proportions and recipe (man those drinks were strong!). And to have a back-up plan established with them to alert you (vs. finding out when you personally went up to the bar for a drink).
2. Discuss what you will be doing post "I do" after walking back down the aisle as a married couple. I somehow ended up doing an impromptu receiving line while Chris went to tell a vendor something before we went to continue our photos. If you want a receiving line, do it, it is a great way to see everyone. If you don't, you might want to plan to sneak away quickly before the guests start coming out because you will want to say hi once you see someone, they will want to say congrats to you and so will every other guest, which can get overwhelming quickly when you didn't plan on a receiving line.
3. Delegate, delegate, delegate! We were lucky to have so many helpers, yet I still felt the need to do a lot of things myself. It may not end up exactly the way you wanted, but it will relieve you of some stress.
4. Go with the flow. You might have a wedding planner, a day of planner, or not. These can all change how the day will go. No matter which way you go, remember that everything will not be perfect (No matter how many people tell you it's your day! It will be the best day of your life! You will remember it forever!), we are still all human and it is still a day on Earth. Things will go wrong, but that is okay. Concentrate on everything going right!

How is Light Beer Light? Sugar & Drunkenness
Today's college students are finding new ways to get drunk faster. Whether its drinking a beer with a straw to chugging sugary alcoholic drinks. But you should always watch your alcohol intake and the excessive drinking will always increase your blood alcohol content.
Check out how sugar plays a role in the drunkenness in this interactive infographic.

How is Light Beer LIGHT? Sugar & Drunkenness
Talk to any college student and you'll hear a number of ways to get drunk faster, ranging from drinking your beer with a straw to chugging sugary mixed drinks. While some of these have absolutely no scientific proof, sugar certainly has its place when it comes to intoxication. But even drinking a light beer or diet mixed drink might not save you from a hangover and you should still monitor your alcohol intake.
Do Sweet Drinks Really Get You Drunk Faster?
This is where we dive into the science. Let's take a look at how sugar and sweet drinks can affect your night out.
- Carbonation may get you drunk faster
- Technically, carbonated drinks may speed up the absorption of alcohol, so a rum and Coke may get you drunk faster than just a shot of rum.
- Most carbonated drinks are sweet, but even a diet Coke may speed the process up.
- Sweet drinks go down faster
- Mixed or sweet drinks can be easier to drink than straight alcohol.
- You may not notice the amount of alcohol that you're drinking when you down several vodka cranberries, as opposed to doing shots.
- Sugar slows the alcohol
- Sugar in alcoholic drinks slows the digestive process and prevents the alcohol from moving into the small intestine as quickly, where it will be absorbed faster.
- Be aware that drinking sweet drinks may make you feel less intoxicated in the beginning, but it will hit later.
Other Factors in Intoxication
The actual drinks aren't the only factor when it comes to intoxication. You actually have a number of things to consider:
- Gender
- Women tend to be smaller than men and to have more fat, so the same drinks will usually result in a higher concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream of a female than in a male.
- Body Size
- The larger you are, the more blood you have, which means alcohol is more diluted in larger
- Genetics
- It would appear that different races absorb alcohol at different rates, so your genes may affect how drunk you get.
- Age
- Older and younger people seem to take longer to get drunk because their bodies may process alcohol slower.
Diet or Light Drinks
Most diet drinks are simply low-caloric forms of the regular ones. In the case of diet soda, which is frequently used in mixed drinks for those trying to watch their weight, the sugar is replaced by aspertame or sucralose, which have virtually no calories.
- Drinks made with diet sodas still have calories from the alcohol.
- Diet mixed drinks made with carbonated liquid may boost intoxication.
The Making of Light Beer
Light beer is legally defined as having 20% fewer calories than regular beer. This will vary from brewery to brewery, depending on how many calories they usually have in their beer. Rumors circulate about breweries simply adding water to their regular beer to make it light, but in most cases, it's a little more complicated.
- Light beers tend to have .5% less alcohol.
- Some light beers are brewed to have a higher alcohol level, then diluted to reach the correct balance.
- This method is more efficient because you can brew 10,000 barrels and get 13,000 barrels worth of light beer.
- This is done by using rice or other grains that will ferment better, creating a higher alcohol content and turning more sugars into alcohol.
- Some breweries simply add less "fuel" during the fermentation process, resulting in fewer carbs, and therefore fewer calories.
- There are 1,545 breweries in the U.S.
- That's more breweries than any other country in the world.
Alcohol is always going to contain some calories, so it's up to you to decide just how many are acceptable. Remember that sugary drinks can still make you drunk, though it may take longer, while carbonation may cause the alcohol to affect you sooner. Always note how much alcohol you are drinking, no matter how you feel and never drink and drive.

UK Software Chart: Elder Scrolls falls before FIFA during the week of April 5thWritten by: / / 4 Comments
The Elder Scrolls Online was the highest profile new release in the UK last week, but despite the launch of this long in development MMOG, Chart Track's latest sales chart puts FIFA 14 at the top of the list ahead of Zenimax Online Studios' first game.

Titanfall (sales down 36%) slots in at No. 3 – a non-mover this week – behind Elder Scrolls Online at No. 2, as Call of Duty: Ghosts (sales up 35%) leaps four places to No. 4 following the release of the latest map pack on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (sales down 46%) meanwhile drops three places to No. 5, as inFamous: Second Son (sales down 55%) tumbles five places from No. 1 to No. 6.
The LEGO Movie Videogame slips two places to No. 7, South Park: The Stick of Truth steps down one place to No. 8, Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is a non-mover at No. 9, and Battlefield 4 is up three places to No. 10. Elsewhere, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls falls from No. 6 to No. 37, while Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Complete Edition appears at No. 29.

In response to Wheatskins' comment:
In response to Remi72's comment:
Happy to get the victory with three American league players in it (not far from four, with Bourque), but, the Bruins played only 7 minutes in the third, showed no emotion and didn't play physical.
Krejci was very bad in the two first periods. Good that he redeemed himself with two great plays in a new line! And, I can't help thinking of poor Peverley, all alone....Kelly having a real dry begining of season, and Bourque useless...
...and they keep winning and you keep whining. You want the fully loaded cake with all the icing and you don't want to share. Everything is not perfect all the time, mon frere.
Wheats, I'm as happy as anyone about the win but I agree with everything Remi said in his post.

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
LOS ANGELES (USA TODAY/CBS LA/CBS News) - A lone gunman armed with a semi-automatic rifle went on a shooting
spree Friday at Los Angeles International Airport, killing one person
and leaving at least six people injured before the suspect was tracked
down and taken into custody.
"We have one deceased,'' Capt. Brian Elias of the Los Angeles County Coroner's office told USA TODAY.
Kauffman, a spokesman for the American Federation of Government
Employees in Washington, told the Associated Press that the victim who
died was a Transportation Security Administration officer. He said the
union's information came from its local officials in Los Angeles.
Law enforcement officials identified the suspect as 23-year-old Paul Ciancia, of Pennsville, N.J. Officials said he also spent some time in the Los Angeles area.
Pennsville Police Chief Allen Cummings told The Associated Press that Ciancia had apparently made references to suicide recently. Cummings said Ciancia's father called him early Friday afternoon saying another of his children had received a text message from the suspect "in reference to him taking his own life."
Cummings told the AP that the elder Ciancia asked him for help in locating Paul. The chief said he called Los Angeles police, which sent a patrol car to Ciancia's apartment. There, two roommates said they had seen him Thursday and that he was fine.
Airport police chief Patrick Gannon said the gunman, believed to have acted alone, forced his way past a TSA checkpoint into the heart of LAX Terminal 3.
a U.S. citizen, was shot in the face in the confrontation with police, a
federal law enforcement official said. The official, who was not
authorized to speak publicly, said the suspect had survived the shooting
but his condition was not immediately known.
One TSA officer is the only person confirmed dead, the official said.
"It's with a very, very sad heart that I inform you that one of our own has lost his life today," said David Cox, president of American Federation of Government Employees. "To our knowledge, he was the first (TSA officer) to die in the line of duty."
Cox said three other TSA officers were injured. Cox said TSA officers are assaulted on a daily basis, which is why the union successfully argued against allowing passengers to bring small knives on planes.
The dead TSA officer was a behavior-detection officer, whose job is to spot suspicious activity to help detect possible terrorists, Cox said. TSA has 2,157 total workers at the airport, but Cox couldn't say how many are typically stationed at terminal 3, where the shooting occurred.
said the shooting began at 9:20 am PT when the suspect pulled an
"assault rifle" out of a bag and began to open fire in LAX Terminal 3.
proceeded up to the screening area, and continued shooting, and went
past the screeners back to the airport itself," Gannon said.
Airport police "responded immediately," he said, tracking down the shooter and taking him into custody.
shooting spree brought the giant airport complex to a halt, with
travelers marooned on buses or sidewalks and police doing their best to
unsnarl traffic.
Terminal 3 was evacuated and cordoned off and arrival and departure roads to the airport, in addition to Century Boulevard, were closed. All airport exits from the 105 and 405 freeways were also shut down.
A large box of ammunition was also recovered on LAX property, Miller said. The LAPD Bomb Squad was on scene trying to clear any suspicious packages.
LAPD Assistant Chief Earl Paysinger says the suspect was armed with a semi-automatic rifle.
The TSA actually allows guns to be be transported by air but only after following extensive rules.
Witnesses describe chaos
Dana Starfield tells KCBS-TV that she heard a boom behind her while standing in security line.
"We heard someone scream, 'A gun! Everybody get down, get down!' ... We just crawled through the security gate....''
said Virgin airline employees guided her and several others into a
small room, where they tried to block entry by moving a copying machine
in front of the door.
"We heard a few more booms,'' she said.
She said about 15 minutes later SWAT officers came through and led them to safety.
and Alexa Sieber of Green Bay, Wisc., were in line at an airport
counter when they heard eight shots followed by another burst of 20.
Witness Brian Keech said he heard "about a dozen gunshots" from
inside the security gate at Terminal 3, which serves Allegiant Air,
Frontier, JetBlue, Spirit, Virgin America and other airlines.
Passenger Rodrigo Jara told KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO he was waiting in line to go through the security line in Terminal 3 when he heard a loud sound.
"I heard 'pop, pop, pop', and then we fell down, and little did I know, I looked to the side, and this guy's going up the stairs with the rifle," Jara said.
Jara described the shooter that he saw as a white male with blonde/dirty blonde hair possibly wearing khakis, clean-cut, and "walking like he was going to buy tea."
Little info available on the injured
at a news conference declined to discuss injuries in detail, saying
only that authorities treated seven people for injuries at the airport
and that six were transported to the hospital.
Ronald Reagan UCLA
Medical Center said it had received "three male victims from the LAX
Airport shootings. One arrived in critical condition and two are listed
in fair condition."
Flights heading to Los Angeles airport were held at their departure
airports, according to FlightAware.com, which tracks flights. The airport partially reopened at 1 p.m., but delays were expected to last through Friday night.
Terminal 3 services the following airlines: AirTran, Alaska, Horizon, JetBlue, V Australia and Virgin America.
LAPD Police Chief Beck and Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti rushed to the airport as the drama unfolded.
President Obama has been briefed on the shooting, the White House says.
Other Southland airports, including Bob Hope International Airport in Burbank, are on heightened alert.

Women's Volleyball Outblocks Long Beach
Using a season-high 12 block kills, the state No. 21-ranked Pasadena City College women's volleyball team improved to 2-0 in the South Coast Conference with a sweep over Long Beach City College, 25-20, 25-16, 25-11, Wednesday at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.
PCC sophomore outside hitter Nora To'omalatai landed 10 of her match-high 18 attack kills in the opening set. Long Beach held eight leads in the game until PCC went ahead for good with a 9-1 run. The Lancers (4-7 overall) had trailed as late as 18-15.
"We've been working on our blocking in practice, and we did a nice job of that v. Long Beach," said PCC interim head coach Bill Sanchez. "It took us a while to get going in that first set. From the time we started to really control the net, we controlled the rest of the match."

does anyone have a good lightwieght tripod they recomend for backpacking. I know some of the better ones are particularly heavy. I was thinking of just using one i have mounted to a rifle stock but its not all that stable.
If you can swing the price tag, gitzo is a great tripod, but with greatness, comes money. You know how it goes.... I had a chance to play with one and believe me, its worth every penny.
I would check out the Promaster T525P Carbon fiber tripod which weighs 2.3 lbs I haven't played with one but they look great and reviews are good and will definitely be on my list of which tripod to get when I get my spotter this summer (hopefully fingers crossed that I'll have the money) sorry couldn't of been more help hope this does
I use a Tech Trek T-Pod, which is a table top tripod. Very well made, fast to setup and takedown, weights about 12oz, extends to about 13", breaks down into two pieces about 7" long, and is advertised to support up to 15 lbs. I added another ball head to the base to adjust for uneven ground. Not perfect for all occasions, or maybe not any, but it will get the job done when you are in the middle of nowhere.
I have not used one but another possibility is the Pedco Ultrapod II. I think it weighs about 4 oz. Not sure how much weight it will support but it looks interesting.
Now for the downside. It gets me just close enough to standing height to tease me. It's the reason I'm looking at getting an angled ED50, I think it would work fine standing with that scope, it's that close. I considered going with a Slikk 634, but it would have required taking the head off each time to fit in my pack pocket. I don't use the tripod standing often enough to justify that I don't think.
This is what I use its not the best or the most expensive, but it does the job. The tripod weighs 2lbs, folds down to 17", extends from 6" to 59.25", supports 2.2 lbs, and only cost $49.00. The pistol grip is nice and smooth for scanning. Eventually, I'll spend another $40.00 and replace the head with an all metal head so it can support more weight.

Gitzo Gt-1542T with Outdoorsman's pan head. Total weight less than 2.5lbs or there abouts, collapses down to 18 inches with the pan head because the legs invert 180 degrees, gets tall enough for me at 5'10", and super stable. Down side is money, but that only hurts once.
And did I mention how beautiful the carbon is?
I've got the Promaster 525T which is the newer version of the T525P and love it! 2.3 pounds, collapses to 14" and extends to 53". I also have a Manfroto 391RC2 3way head. It has a nice, short handle and is very smooth. I'll post a pic as soon as I can...
I have a Vanguard Alta and a Vortex High Country. The Vanguard is heavy, but is super solid. The Vortex is light, but the ball head doesn't offer really good control or smooth movement. I am still looking for something that does both.
Anyone use Nikon compact?

These are lean times for the shooting guard position in the NBA. Kobe Bryant, Manu Ginobili and Dwyane Wade, the standard-bearers of the position for the last 10 years and more, are pushing into their 30s, and other than James Harden, there are no versatile, all-around guards that are just now stepping into stardom. The position has become one of specialization, either elite 3-point shooters like Kevin Martin or quick-scoring, volume-shooting sixth men like Jamal Crawford.
There is some hope for the future of the position, of course. It may be that recent draft picks like Bradley Beal, Ben McLemore and Dion Waiters elevate the shooting guard spot back to its former glory, but for now, ranking the players at the position yields a very top-heavy list.
NBA position rankings: The league's best shooting guardsnba September 24, 2013 10:56pm EDT September 24, 2013 11:32am EDT James Harden became the focal point of an offense when he moved to Houston. He succeeded in the role, and is now the best shooting guard in the NBA, according to SN's Sean Deveney. See the rest of the list.
These are lean times for the shooting guard position in the NBA. Kobe Bryant, Manu Ginobili and Dwyane Wade, the standard-bearers of the position for the last 10 years and more, are pushing into their 30s, and other than James Harden, there are no versatile, all-around guards that are just now stepping into stardom. The position has become one of specialization, either elite 3-point shooters like Kevin Martin or quick-scoring, volume-shooting sixth men like Jamal Crawford.
2 James Harden, Rockets
Numbers: 25.9 points, 5.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds.
Harden was disappointed that the Thunder did not re-sign him last summer, but arriving in Houston allowed him to become a star player, hoisting 17.1 shots per game, double the 8.6 shots he had taken in three years in Oklahoma City.
An excellent ballhandler and arguably the best pick-and-roll guard in the game, Harden is a great example of the hybridization of the guard position—just as many players who are nominally point guards play like shooting guards, Harden is a shooting guard who sometimes plays like a point guard.
3 Kobe Bryant, Lakers
Numbers: 27.3 points, 6.0 assists, 5.6 rebounds.
Bryant's prickly personality might have been one cause for the disintegration of the Dwight Howard experiment in LA, but whatever happened off the court, there is no question that Bryant put forth a valiant effort on the court, rallying the woebegone Lakers into the playoffs before tearing his Achilles tendon.
That injury, combined with the ascent of Harden, is the only reason that Bryant is not in his customary top spot on this list.
4 Dwyane Wade, Heat
Numbers: 21.2 points, 5.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds.
Wade will turn 32 in January, and in last year's postseason, there were moments at which he showed that the wear-and-tear of the season had caught up to him—he averaged 15.9 points and shot 45.7 percent from the field.
During the regular season, though, Wade was effective as ever, shooting a career-high 52.1 percent thanks to his unique ability to finish when attacking the basket (he shot 71.3 percent at the rim). Miami coach Erik Spoelstra has been cutting back Wade's minutes in the last two seasons to keep him ready for the postseason, and that will continue this year.
5 Tyreke Evans, Pelicans
Numbers: 15.2 points, 3.5 assists, 4.4 rebounds.
Evans has had a hard time figuring out a position in the NBA, but it looks like shooting guard will be his lot. He is not a good shooter, but he did manage 33.8 percent from the 3-point line, which was up from 20.2 percent the previous season. He also shot 47.8 percent from the field overall, a testament to the strength of his game—getting the ball to the rim, where he attempts nearly half his shots, making 64.1 percent of them.
It will be interesting to see how the Pelicans deploy Evans with Eric Gordon and Jrue Holiday, but if his perimeter improvement continues, that will make the transition that much easier.
6 Kevin Martin, Timberwolves
Numbers: 14.0 points, 1.4 assists, 2.3 rebounds.
Playing with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, Martin's role was refined to that of a pure shooter, and he excelled. He shot 45.0 percent from the field, but made 42.6 percent of his 3s and 89.0 percent of his free-throws.
He does little else, but again, that appears to be the state of the modern shooting guard. Martin probably will have a bigger role in Minnesota, but the Timberwolves just need him to keep making 3s.
7 Klay Thompson, Warriors
Numbers: 16.6 points, 2.2 assists, 3.7 rebounds.
Thompson checks in this high because he has an unquestioned skill: He is a deadeye perimeter shooter, making 40.1 percent of his 3s. He will need to add more to his offensive repertoire, but when the baseline is shooting of that quality, he is off to a good start.
Thompson struggles putting the ball on the floor (though that did improve last year) and he did try to attack the basket more last year, but not necessarily with great results—his shooting percentage at the rim dropped from 70.0 percent to 59.4 percent.
8 Joe Johnson, Nets
Numbers: 16.3 points, 3.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds.
That Johnson rates so highly says more about the state of shooting guards in the current NBA than it does about Johnson's performance. He did not adjust well to playing alongside Deron Williams last year, and he will have further adjustments to make this year when Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett arrive.
Johnson is accustomed to creating his own shots, but he is a good perimeter shooter (37.5 percent from the 3-point line last year) and if he can rein in his game to become a more traditional shooting guard—one who does not need to pound the ball so much—he could regain his value.
9 J.R. Smith, Knicks
Numbers: 18.1 points, 2.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds.
With Amare Stoudemire out for much of the year, the Knicks badly needed a complementary scorer for Carmelo Anthony, and Smith filled the void. He is still widely noted for the boneheaded shots he frequently hoists, but given the Knicks' record-setting barrage of 3-pointers, those mistakes were more forgivable.
His shooting percentages—42.2 percent, 35.6 percent from the 3-point line, 76.2 percent from the free-throw line—were nothing special, but his ability to score in bunches made him vital to the Knicks' success.
10 Manu Ginobili, Spurs
Numbers: 11.8 points, 4.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds.
Ginobili is 36 and his playoff struggles were well-documented. But he is still a crafty player on both sides of the floor, able to get into the paint and collapse a defense on the offensive end and sneak into passing lanes on the defensive end.
He also remains a good playmaker who allows Tony Parker to play off the ball. His numbers are sagging, and injuries have mounted over the last two seasons, but Giniobili is still effective.
11 Jamal Crawford, Clippers
Numbers: 16.5 points, 2.5 assists, 1.7 rebounds.
Crawford is 33 but continues to be an effective scorer off the bench. He bounced back from a terrible shooting performance in the lockout year to bring his percentages up to 43.8 from the field and 37.6 from the 3-point line.
Given his age and the arrival of Jared Dudley and J.J. Redick in LA, Crawford could be due for a drop-off in scoring, but he is still a guy who can put up points.
12 Monta Ellis, Mavericks
Numbers: 19.2 points, 6.0 assists, 3.9 rebounds.
High volume, low efficiency—guys like Ellis have a hard time finding their place in the league these days.
But what was particularly distressing about Ellis last year was that he was as inefficient as he has ever been, shooting 41.6 percent from the field, worst since his rookie year, and making only 28.7 percent of his 3s. Playing alongside Dirk Nowitzki, Ellis is looking for a bounce-back year.
13 Eric Gordon, Pelicans
Gordon has missed 97 of the potential 148 games he could have played in New Orleans the last two years, and if not for that fact he would easily rank among the best shooting guards in the league.
As it stands, his inability to stay healthy has been a huge problem for the Pelicans, and when he did play last season, he shot just 40.2 percent from the field and 32.4 percent from the 3-point line. In three years with the Clippers, Gordon never shot below 44.9 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from the 3-point line. Gordon has not seemed very interested in playing for New Orleans, and that needs to change.
14 Lou Williams, Hawks
Numbers: 14.1 points, 3.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds.
Williams never really got his footing in his first season in Atlanta, and wound up having his year cut short by a knee injury.
He should be ready for opening night, and the Hawks are hoping he will be more comfortable this time around. Atlanta is desperate for perimeter help, and a healthy Williams will go a long way toward filling that void.
15 Eric Bledsoe, Suns
Numbers: 8.5 points, 3.1 assists, 3.0 rebounds.
At long last, Bledsoe has been freed. His numbers from last year might look paltry, but considering he played only 20.4 minutes per game, the stats don't tell the whole story. Bledsoe is an outstanding athlete who has tremendous potential, and though he might be a more natural point guard, he will play 2-guard next to Goran Dragic.
He is going to make mistakes—that was one reason the Clippers were so tight with his minutes—but he is going to make jaw-dropping plays on a nightly basis. The key will be for the Suns to nudge him into becoming consistent and reliable.
16 Gerald Henderson, Bobcats
Numbers: 15.5 points, 2.6 assists, 3.7 rebounds.
Henderson has established himself as a very good midrange shooter, and he was the Bobcats' second-leading scorer last season. The problem is, teams don't exactly want a guard whose specialty is the 16-footer. He needs to diversify, and he did begin attacking the basket more often last year, earning 4.6 trips to the free-throw line, where he made 82.4 percent of his attempts.
The next step will have to be a 3-point shot. Last year, he only attempted 100 3s and made 33.0 percent of them, which sounds pretty bad. Considering that he attempted just 102 in the first three years of his career—and made only 21.6 percent—that counts as progress.

Reefer Madness: Obama's NLRB Has Gone To Pot
Based on the last 60 years of union decline, it is easy for one to conclude that America's union movement has been going to pot for many, many years. However, whether due to sheer desperation or perhaps due to its current leadership having come of age during the 1960s, unions have taken a keen interest in unionizing a budding industry—that of the marijuana industry.

Synthetic biology aims at producing novel biological systems to carry out some desired and well-defined functions. An ultimate dream is to design these systems at a high level of abstraction using engineering-based tools and programming languages, press a button, and have the design translated to DNA sequences that can be synthesised and put to work in living cells.
We introduce such a programming language, which allows logical interactions between potentially undetermined proteins and genes to be expressed in a modular manner. Programs can be translated by a compiler into sequences of biological parts, a process which relies on logic programming and prototype databases containing known biological parts and protein interactions. Programs can also be translated to reactions, allowing simulations to be carried out. The language is a first step towards the automatic translation of high-level behavioural designs to low-level DNA code.

Has anyone been able to deploy Outlook Connector in such a way that all a user needs to do is enter their username and password when they launch Outlook, post-installing Outlook and the connector using customized msi?
The way my deployment is working is that at first launch Outlook prompts to create a profile. Ideally the profile would be created (which I think the connector does upon install) and users would not need to click "Next" and then select "Manually Configure Settings" The only user interaction that I would like to have take place upon launching Outlook is entering a username and password.
I've looked around am surprised that no one has commented on a deployment like this. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Regarding consumer confidence: curb your enthusiasm
October 14, 2011
The Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index fell again. Every major component of the consumer sentiment index fell. Consumer confidence is inching itself deeper into the recession zone. The summer was a brutal season for consumer confidence.
In September, the consumer sentiment index inched up as the negativity related to the political bickering and finger pointing in Washington D.C. over the debt ceiling crisis started to wear off a little, said analysts at IHS Global Insight.
"The debt issues in Europe, increasing volatility in the equity markets, poor job prospects, and higher consumer prices are starting to chip away at consumer confidence once again," reported IHS today.
This is not good news. However, since gasoline prices have fallen, households have some extra money to spend on other things. Consumer confidence is at recessionary levels; however, retail sales are still chugging along. Consumer spending would be significantly higher if consumer confidence were not so low, and if firms were hiring at a faster rate.
What is the logistics and supply chain community to make of all of this? Curb your enthusiasm, and soldier on.

Does Zimbra still not support the ability to specify the "sent" folder for accounts other than the ones "supported" by Zimbra?
I am using GoDaddy email and my sent folder is called "Sent Items". I have searched and searched and there seems to be no way to have that folder set as the one into which I can put sent emails.
I would really love to use Zimbra, but I am shocked and disappointed that a basic function like this is not in Zimbra. :(

Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988) was an American singer-songwriter and musician, well known for his distinctive, powerful voice, complex compositions, and dark emotional ballads. Orbison was a natural baritone, but music scholars have suggested that he had a three- or four-octave range. The combination of Orbison's powerful, impassioned voice and complex musical arrangements led many critics to refer to his music as operatic, giving him the sobriquet "the Caruso of Rock". Performers as disparate as Elvis Presley and Bono stated his voice was, respectively, the greatest and most distinctive they had ever heard.

WALDORF, Md. (WUSA)-- The emergence of superbugs has been in the news, especially the spread of powerful new strains that can't be cured by even antibiotics of last resort. Critical care specialists like Dr. Henry Mansur at the NIH Clinical Center are particularly concerned with CRE's (carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae), a family of germs that have become particularly deadly and difficult to eradicate.
CRE's often strike already immune-compromised people in hospitals and nursing homes. Dr. Masur says, "The CRE's are very dangerous as they attack our most vulnerable patients and we have almost no active antibiotics against this organism. Globally, and in the US, we overuse antibiotics in humans and agricultural animals and our antibiotics are getting less and less potent. There is a crisis because we desperately need to have better stewardship of them which means using these only in human when necessary. If overused, we won't have them available when we do need them."
While CRE's are typically encountered in the healthcare setting, other resistant bacteria have moved out into the community, including MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) The bacteria can live harmlessly on a person's skin or in the nostrils; however, if it enters the body through an open wound or invasive device (such as a catheter) it can cause devastating infections, such as the one encountered by Kerri Cardello, 42, of Waldorf, Maryland.
She became very ill around Christmas time in 2003, a week after she was treated for a broken nose. That may have been when she was exposed to MRSA, but doctors still aren't sure of its origin.
Cardello became feverish and seriously ill. She says she visited the emergency departments of two hospitals, and was sent home with the diagnosis of flu, with symptoms that continued to get worse.
Cardello remembers, "I couldn't breathe and I looked in the mirror and was a grayish color."
Cardello finally called 911, and was brought back to the hospital. Pneumonia was shutting down her lungs, and doctors couldn't fight it. Finally, she was transferred to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where she got the right diagnosis: MRSA.
Cardello was in a medically induced coma for months as doctors tried to contain the infection. Eventually, it caused gangrene in her legs, and Cardello was awakened by her aunt to give consent for amputation.
"She pulled the covers back and said, 'What do you think?' And I was like - take them, just take them."
Ramanan Laxminarayan, PhD studies drug resistance with the Center for Disease Dynamics. He says the scope of MRSA's spread is frightening.
"Twelve years ago, MRSA was never transmitted outside of the hospital," says Laxminarayan. "Now it's a phenomena. You can pick up the bug at a gym locker because these super bugs change over time."
"The doomsday scenario is not going to arrive all in one day, it is going to happen progressively. But just the fact that today we cannot treat patients with infections that just ten years ago could be easily treated, should be quite a shocking revelation."
The NIH's Dr. Masur agrees, "Overuse clearly limits the shelf-life of lifesaving drugs."
Both men say another part of the problem is the lack of new antibiotics in the pharmacopeial pipeline. The drug industry agrees that new infection fighters are badly needed, and says it is working with the FDA to streamline the approval process for new drugs that fight increasingly resistant infections.
Dr. Masur says, "We need incentives for these companies to make these lifesaving drugs. If these companies don't take advantage of federal government research advances, we won't have the drugs that help us when we and our loved ones have life-threatening infections."
Kerrie Cardello is grateful to have survived her superbug infection. After months of rehabilitation, she was finally able to come back home and resume life with prosthetic legs. Now she educates others about MRSA, and tries to be the best possible mother to her four children.
Cardello says, "They deal with it every day still. They worry... is mom OK? Is she sick today? Things most kids just don't worry about."

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Tommy Tuberville has resigned his head
coaching position at Texas Tech to take a similar job at Cincinnati.
The shocking news came Saturday afternoon, with the University of Cincinnati
scheduling a press conference for 6:30 p.m. (et) to introduce Tuberville.
The news of Tuberville's move came one day after Butch Jones announced he was
leaving the Bearcats to become the head football coach at Tennessee. Jones
resigned from his position at Cincinnati Friday morning.
Cincinnati named Steve Stripling interim head coach for the Belk Bowl against
Tuberville led the Red Raiders to a 7-5 mark this season. Texas Tech will play
Minnesota in the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas on Dec. 28.
The 58-year-old Tuberville will become the head coach for his fourth
collegiate team. He went 25-20 at Ole Miss from 1995-98 and compiled an 85-40
mark at Auburn (1999-2008) before going 20-17 over three years at Texas Tech.

Royals trade catcher Treanor to Rangers for cash considerations
The Royals announced today that the club has traded catcher Matt Treanor to the Texas Rangers in exchange for cash considerations. With the trade, the Royals 40-man roster stands at 39 players.
Treanor, 35, has missed the last 29 games after suffering a concussion on July 30 in Cleveland. He has played seven games in a rehab assignment for Double-A Northwest Arkansas, batting .263 with five RBI. Acquired by the Royals from the Rangers on March 28, 2011, the catcher hit .226 with six doubles, three home runs, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored in 65 games for Kansas City.

Fans started talking 'smack' round about Monday, on both sides and only time would tell which team would walk away from Rupp with bragging rights for the next year. Now, the first meeting between the teams when both were ranked nationally in top 5, is finished and the Wildcats remain undefeated in Rupp under Head Coach John Calipari.
Both Louisville and Kentucky players looked forward to today, both hopping to finish 2011 with a "W", but there can only be one. Prior to today's meeting, players commented on the task at hand, Doron Lamb stated, "It would have been nice to give them their first loss, but it would be nice to give them their second one too.", while Chane Behanan explained his position, "This game is going down in history as one of the best games ever." Coach Cal and Coach Pitino played nice during the introductions, yet all bets were off as the ball was tossed at the start.
For Kentucky, the leadership of Freshman forward, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist took center stage today as he played 39 minutes, scored 24 points, and took down 19 rebounds; amazingly only gaining 3 fouls in the process. Davis' playing was lower than average for him, yet he stunned with great plays; 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 blocks. Teague was the sole UK player to reach five fouls, but added 4 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds. Teague and Lamb combined for 8 turnovers, the same amount as Miller did alone. Lamb and Miller each ended the contest with 4 fouls a piece, yet put up 10 and 7 points, respectively. Mr. Jones showed up with 11 rebounds for the contest, 4 points, and maintained the least amount of fouls with 1. The fear of running has motivated the Wildcats to sink the easy free throws and today, they shot 74.4%, better than Louisville at 66.7%. Free throws were a major factor in the win today and could have lost the game for Kentucky.
Louisville came to Rupp as a strong and athletic team, ready to take on the pressure that comes from playing Kentucky…at Rupp. Coach Pitino knows all too well what the atmosphere is when you come into the Big Blue House, yet his team could not take advantage of second chance points. Russ Smith of Louisville came off the bench to score 30 of Louisville's 62 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals; with 3 fouls. Kentucky effectively shut down Kyle Kuric with double teams. Peyton Siva posted 8 points, 4 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal, yet ended the game with 4 fouls.
Both, Louisville and Kentucky players came into this game with jitters, and it took time to find calm, although some players did not find it all. Ironically, Kentucky will meet University of Arkansas-Little Rock in Freedom Hall Tuesday evening, the former home of the Cardinals. Please remember to celebrate the Big Blue Win and the New Year responsibly. The Wildcats in 2012 will be a force.
