Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach post decent May volumes
June 16, 2011
Despite the increasingly negative economic headwinds of late, May volumes at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach mostly showed some decent signs of growth.
POLB imports, which are primarily comprised of consumer goods, hit 275,100 (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) in May, which was up 4 percent annually. This was up from April's 270,107 and March's 191,211. POLB Exports, which are primarily comprised of raw materials, were down 6.1 percent at 130,161 and were below April's 270,107 and March's 131,761.
Total POLB shipments for May—at 536,681 TEU—were up 2.3 percent annually.
Art Wong, spokesman for the Port of Long Beach, told LM in an interview that May numbers at the port were good but not great."
"Compared to a year ago, export numbers are down but are in the same range we have seen in the last few months," he said. "Given what is happening in the economy right now, these are good solid numbers.
When asked about the 6.1 percent annual drop in May exports, Wong explained that its comparison month in 2010 saw a significant spike in exports due to a major inventory re-build occurring at that time, making it tough for May 2011 to match that output.
POLA imports—at 360,969 TEU—were up 5.49 percent annually and ahead of April's 312,359 TEU and March's 297,023 TEU. Exports—at 184,274—were up 14.73 percent, ahead of April's 167,448 TEU and behind March's 192,849.
"We are really pleased with our May numbers," said POLA Director of Communications Philip Sanfield. "Total shipments were up only 0.51 percent annually, but that is because empties were down so much [at 147,689 for a 20.86 percent annual decline]. May was our second best export month of the year behind March at 192,849, and the value of the American dollar had something to do with that."
He added that POLA was up against challenging numbers from May 2010, which was up 20 percent over May 2009.
While May was solid at the port, he said the port is coming up against a very challenging next four months, given that volumes peaked early in 2010 and also did at other west coast ports.
"June, July and August were our best months in 2010," he said. "We are not expecting growth beyond the numbers we had last June. If we do, we will be very pleased. We are estimating things will be relatively flat over the next six months or so regarding annual growth."

A daily skin care regimen should always consist of basic steps such as cleansing, moisturizing and protecting. L'Occitane Treatments go beyond the basic needs to address specific concerns and issues. L'Occitane Treatments were developed to be a part of a comprehensive program for healthier, more beautiful skin. L'Occitane Treatments should be applied after cleansing or toning in order to deliver active ingredients that can penetrate deep within the layers of the skin to help improve the overall quality of the complexion.
L'Occitane Treatments fall under a specific category and work best when combined with other products in the same L'Occitane line. L'Occitane Treatments were developed to be used every day. Regular use of L'Occitane Treatments will help the skin see continued improvements in tone and texture. L'Occitane Treatments contain only high quality ingredients that have been proven safe and effective. L'Occitane Treatments are gentle, working with the skin to produce improvements while minimizing irritation.
L'Occitane Treatments are pampering and luxurious, offering real solutions in formulations that are cosmetically elegant and enjoyable to use every day. L'Occitane Treatments can make any skin look and feel stronger and healthier. L'Occitane Treatments can complement an existing program for better skin and can be paired with other products.
The most common skin concerns can be addressed with the L'Occitane Treatments line.
L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Extract is a concentrated anti-aging treatment that contains the essential oils of both Immortelle and Myrtle. These two essential oils are powerful antioxidants which help to repair damage as well as protect the skin from future aggressors. L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Extract helps to stimulate cellular activity, encouraging collagen production in order to firm and tone the skin. L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Extract contains a very effective humectant which binds moisture to the skin, preventing water loss, leaving the skin plump and supple. L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Extract also contains Vitamin C for even more antioxidant power. Vitamin C also helps to diminish the look of dark patches and helps create an overall brighter appearance.
L'Occitane Shea Butter Fabulous Serum is another reparative and protective serum that contains antioxidant power from different extracts. Shea butter soothes, conditions and protects the skin from the elements while hyaluronic acid helps retain vital moisture to plump up skin tissue. L'Occitane Shea Butter Fabulous Serum works great during the winter months when the skin often suffers from dryness and irritation.
L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Fluid is a very concentrated anti-aging formula that is enriched with the oils of Immortelle. The serum delivers a full day's worth of anti-aging treatment and releases it slowly to allow the skin continuous repairing and protective powers. Regular use helps improve firmness, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Moisturizing ingredients help plump the skin and prevent dryness and dehydration.

LA PLATA, Md. (WUSA9) -- Approximately five livestock barns and 15 acres of woodland burned during huge blaze on Tuesday.
The fire at the Charles County Fairgrounds was reported at about 3:30 p.m., promoting fire crews to arrive at the 8400 block of Fairground Road.
High winds fed the fire and sparked a brush fire in the surrounding land, Waldorf Volunteer Fire Dept. Chief JR Hayden said.
Due to the extent of the fire, nearly 174 fire crews from around the area, including Fairfax and D.C., responded to the fire that took several hours to put out.
Hayden said the barns were not being occupied and no animals were lost.
The Sky 9 chopper was over the scene and took footage of crews attempting to control the flames.

1969 Holley Project Road Runner, Part IXWritten by on November 1, 2000 Contributors: Mopar Muscle Staff Crutchfield and Kenwood team up to provide a high-performance audio solution for the Holley Project Road Runner
In the quest to build the consummate cruiser, weve encountered massive amounts of torque (Torque Monster, Mopar Muscle, April 2000) and ample strength to harness the power thanks to a McCandless-built four-speed (4-Speed Clinic, Mopar Muscle, June 2000), not to mention the DTS-supplied Dana (Special Delivery, Mopar Muscle, September 2000). Most importantly, the craftsmanship of John Balows clan at Muscle Car Restorations has been seen in every article and is readily apparent in the overall quality of the Roadrunner.
So when it came time to decide on the audio system for the Holley Project Roadrunner, we clearly wanted yet another expert. Power Tour-style cruising requires tunes, so we turned to the mail-order audio leader, Crutchfield.
Carl Matthews at Crutchfield helped us determine that we wanted a straightforward approach. Carl recommended that we review Crutchfields Car Stereo Starter Kit that includes a MasterSheet for your specific vehicle (unfortunately one wasnt available for the 69 Roadrunner), as well as the Crutchfield Guide to Car Stereo Installation. A bargain at $4.95, this beginner kit is refundable if you purchase your entire system within 30 days.
We agreed (of course) that a complete Kenwood system would be best for the Roadrunner. While an audiophile would consider the $1600 of equipment affordable, we recognize that not everyone wants to dive right in with this level of audio performance. The initial investment, however, of amp, head unit, and four speakers is under $700 and can be upgraded to include the CD changer, subwoofer, and additional speakers.
So take a look at ours and decide whether your own A-, B-, or E-Body could benefit from the system Muscle Car Restorations installed in the Holley Project Roadrunner.

Like their 2-channel brothers, these 4-channel Kenwoods are built with MOSFET-switching power supplies for fast response, maximum output, and cooler operating temperatures. Larger-than-usual noise-suppression filters make sure all you hear is music. Speaker-level inputs allow easy connection to any head unit. Crutchfield also recommends the easily packaged KAC-748 amp with 35 watts of four-channel or 100 watts of two-channel capability. Dimensions of 11-5/8W x 2-1/4H x 12-5/8D inches make this a perfect muscle car amp.Installing the amp on the back side of the rear seat makes wiring convenient and provides ample room for a full-size spare.The individual output channels for speakers are installed down the driver's side sill plate channel. Crutchfield provides Musica 100 Series Patch Cords cables with rugged jackets that withstand sharp bends as they snake through your Mopar.StreetWires Speaker Wire links speakers to the amp. The installation-friendly, non-gripping wire jacket is flexible yet rugged. If you're connecting a subwoofer to a very powerful amp, choose 12-gauge wire. The StreetWires Speaker Wire is available in 12-, 14-, and 16-gauge wire in precut lengths of 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60 feet.John's crew mounted the Kenwood KSC-WA100 self-powered 10-inch Subwoofer in the trunk. This powerhouse has a built-in 30-watt per channel amp that sends 60 total watts to a dual-voice coil woofer. You can connect your sub to almost any stereo, with the preamp and speaker-level inputs.The variable low-pass crossover (50-200 Hz) blends the bass with your system and Includes a set of preamp outputs to hook up another amp if you want. Best of all, this compact pounder allows the full-size spare to remain, and there's room left over for a battery box and an ice chest filled with our favorite beverage--Yoo Hoo!What's a muscle car without a pair of crankin' package tray speakers? Crutchfield recommends Kenwood's eXcelon 6x9-inch speakers. The pearl mica injection-molded poly woofer delivers planet-shaking bass. The 2-3/4-inch polyetherimide (PEI) midrange cone is built with a urethane surround for lower distortion.The 1-inch PPTA (poly para-phenylene terephthalamide) balanced dome tweeter completes the picture with sparkling high end. The multiple component crossover network divides the frequencies more accurately than the more common capacitor-type crossover, giving you a more polished and focused sound. These performers handle serious power and retain their form and stability even when exposed to temperature extremes.We started getting tricky with a few of our speaker locations. We used the rear sail panels in order to accommodate a pair of Kenwood eXcelon Dual-Mag 6-1/2-inch speakers. The XR600 2-way speakers offer an amazing array of sonic delights and are designed for crystal-clear midrange and highs with rock-solid bass. Dual magnets mounted in the woofer's voice coil create a more powerful magnetic field in a smaller space than a conventional magnet.
The injection-molded poly woofer cone responds with authoritative bass, and the soft dome tweeter uses Urethane Film Laminate Cloth (UFLC). The damping effects of the UFLC combine with the lightweight design of the tweeter to extend the high frequency range for clear, crisp highs. Bi-amp inputs allow you to power the woofer and tweeter separately.Running power to the amp, and the speaker wires to each set of speakers, requires taking power down one sill plate enclosure and running the other down the driver's side sill plate. For amp power, Crutchfield supplies a StreetWires Single-Amp Wiring Kit. Everything you need for power delivery and signal transfer to your 2-channel amplifier is contained in one of these wiring kits, and you choose your kit according to the total RMS power of your amplifier.Remember, if you're installing a 4-channel amp, you'll most likely need a second patch cord. Three kits are available through Crutchfield. Kit One is designed for amps up to 100 watts x 2 channels (200 watts total RMS). It includes one 16-foot Musica 100 Series RCA patch cord--double shielded for improved noise rejection; 20 feet of waterproof 10-gauge red power cable with gold-plated ring terminal; in-line fuse holder installed on power cable with 30-amp SE fuse; 5 feet of 10-gauge black grounding cable with gold-plated ring terminal; 16 feet of 18-gauge blue remote turn-on wire; and six 8-inch cable ties.Kit Two is designed for amps up to 175 watts x 2 (350 watts total RMS). It includes the same array of cables as in Kit One but increases the thickness of power and ground cables to 8 gauge and includes a 40-amp SE fuse to handle higher current flow. If you're planning to push a subwoofer or two at extra high volume, Kit Two is a good choice, even if your amp puts out less than the guidelines call for. Kit Three is designed for amps over 350 watts total RMS. Power and ground cable thickness increases to 4 gauge, a 60-amp SE fuse, and the patch cord is upgraded to the Musica 200 Series, which uses heavier insulation.Finally, we use the existing dash opening to install a pair of Kenwood eXcelon 4x6 2-way speakers (KFC-X466). These babies make you realize how good a small speaker can sound. The pearl mica injection-molded poly woofer kicks out surprisingly full lows.The balanced dome tweeter is made from PPTA, providing an exceptional response. Thanks to rubber surrounds, these speakers retain their form and stability even when exposed to temperature extremes. Bi-amp inputs allow separate amplification of highs and lows for more bass and improved mid/high detail.
With the head unit face rotated 180 degrees, it displays the digital faceplate and full preset controls. If you're a control freak, Kenwood's KRC-608 gives you total mastery of your sound with its EC4+ feature. Five preset EQ curves (Rock, Top 40, Jazz, Easy, and Flat--each with adjustable treble and bass) provide flexibility, and three speaker size-matching settings permit fine-tuning.The KRC-608 also features full-logic controls, Dolby B noise reduction, robust Kenwood power (22 watts RMS/45 peak x 4 channels), and a large, multicolor display. Add a 6- or 10-disc Kenwood CD changer connected via RCA plugs and you're set with a full complement of audio. You can even add amps later with the two sets of preamp outputs, and for those who want to keep the backseat drivers busy, a wireless remote is optional.Kenwood's D MASK brings a new twist to your receiver's security--choose between detaching the faceplate, or pivoting it into the dash manually so a blank panel is visible.Muscle Car Restorations added the Kenwood 6-disc KDC-C665 changer, mounted directly below the package tray. It features Kenwood's Integrated Quad 1-bit digital-to-analog converter for clean sound.You can name up to 100 discs for display on a disc-titling Kenwood receiver, and the changer reads text from text-encoded discs when linked to a text-displaying receiver. You get lots of playback options with a compatible Kenwood receiver: track repeat and disc repeat, intro scan, and random play for one disc or the whole magazine. The changer tracks reliably when mounted at 0, 45 or 90 degrees.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Indiana's recently ousted state school superintendent is Florida's new education commissioner.
The State Board of Education selected Tony Bennett, a Republican who lost a bid for re-election in Indiana last month, on Wednesday in Tampa.
The board picked Bennett from a slate of three finalists.
The others were Murray State University President Randy Dunn, who once served as state superintendent in Illinois, and Arlington, Va., education consultant Charles Hokanson, a former deputy assistant U.S. secretary of education in President George W. Bush's administration.
Bennett led efforts in Indiana to adopt many of the accountability changes pioneered by Florida.
Former Commissioner Gerard Robinson resigned in August after only about a year on the job. He cited separation from his family in Virginia where he previously had been secretary of education.

Just thought I'd kick start the March thread. Can't believe spring is around the corner already!
Had an ultrasound yesterday (22 weeks) and both babies seem to be doing well. I had been a bit worried since I feel almost all my movement on the left side where my girl is and almost nothing on my right where my boy is. Looks like he moved into more of a transverse position though with his legs aiming left so that helps explain it and made me feel better.
DH started painting the nursery yesterday too. So excited to see that coming along. Other than that much of the same here in terms of symptoms - backaches, joint pain, insomnia and heartburn.... fun, fun.

Great flavor, low fat and easy. I make this a lot.
My husband and I both really liked this! :) It's another great pasta recipe from this site to add to my repertoire, and I finally got to play with my new blender lol!
I made this for dinner tonight because I thought it sounded good, followed directions exactly and used fresh basil from my garden. I was not impressed, I took a few bites and threw the rest away. My husband thought it was just okay. Won't be making this again.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Tuesday, the D.C. Council is expected to enter the debate about the Redskins name.
The Council plans to pass a resolution which says changing the Redskins name is the right and prudent thing to do given its racist and derogatory definition.
Even if the bill passes, the council has no authority to force a name change.

I understand how you feel. For me the best training in remembering to save my progress has been working in cc3. Because of it's constant crashes you have to save all the time. But loosing work because of a forgotten save is horrible.
I just spent all evening working on a commission. I was finally becoming really happy with how it was going and had probably spent a solid not moving from my seat 3 hours when Gimp crashed. As the error messages bonked onto the screen I began to try to remember when I had last saved...
*pause for a couple deep breaths so I don't type any curse words*
Ah, I hadn't saved at all.... *pause again*
The end of the story is that I just went to the kitchen and made myself a stiff drink and now I think I'll go kill a pile of aliens or something to slough off some aggression. I am mad and depressed at the same time.
The worst part was I was just doing that one last thing before I closed out for the night nice and satisfied. AHHHHHGGGGG!!!!!
Don't forget to save, how many times do I have to say it to myself?! I want to kick something.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

When I am working on stuff and I have been doing lots of things without a save I really really start to get the creeps. Its like I start to press each key stroke carefully etc. My threshold before this starts to come on is about a few minutes. This is especially true if doing art but I even get this when typing in code which in theory should be easier to repeat. So to go several hours of artwork would make me feel like I was standing on the high wire at the circus. In the old days we used to have computers with no hard drive and before the floppy you used to have to have a cassette recorder to back up a program. When the (very small) power lead used to wobble then it would crash the machine and wipe the RAM. There was a point in time when the computers had enough RAM - about 16K of it at the time but before the floppy disk - when you could spend a few hours typing in hex codes from a magazine to program the machine in machine code to play a half decent game. A crash during that period would wipe out several hours. I think I developed my creeps during those early days. Now that the HDD makes saving so easy I use it all the time.
You should have a play with MeshLab and do some 3D modelling. That program will crash every 30 seconds. Its amazingly poorly written even if it is doing some excellent processing and implementing some extremely useful stuff. Tho I grit my teeth against this one app, on the whole tho I avoid all crashing apps like the plague. I just cant bear it.
Just to hammer it home some more. I save often. I save with increasing number appended to the end. I.e. I don't keep saving over the top of an old version. And when you have done a few of them and what you have is worth something then copy the whole directory to another. It might be a waste of HDD space but its your time and effort here. If HDD space is worth more than your time then go an do something more worthwhile cos HDD space is cheap. A 5Mb map save is about 0.01 cents.

I feel your pain.
I was working on an illuminated celtic knotwork manuscript page (16x22 or thereabouts within the borders) with a lot of fine detail. I had the black and white work done, and I was about 1/3 done colouring it. I would guess I had put about 12 months of work into it at that point, on and off. Then my cat knocked over a glass of water on my table. oh, did i mention it was done on paper? No save, no backup, no undo. The inks were SUPPOSED to be colourfast/indelible/whatever it's called.. waterproof. Nope, they ran. the whole piece was destroyed. I haven't done any celtic art since, except for a few minor doodles. The way my wife describes my reaction is along the lines of "it broke your spirit".
I was able to scan the whole thing in and clean it up so it was B+W linework (and even messed around a bit with colouring in photoshop), but I never did get back to redoing it on paper. And then it was.. about 8 years before I took up any serious art of any sort (yay maps!).
Look on the bright side - you'll never forget "save early save often" again
My finished maps
"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
InDesign saves automatically, but I do lots of work in photoshop, and there you have to remember to save now and then, also as a default it only has 20 undos. Then again, when I began using photoshop it didn't have an undo function and layers hadn't been invented yet. Back then you saved almost every time you made a stroke right *lol*

My ViewingDale saves on every change so there is no save button to keep pushing and there is a 10 level (I think) undo for child icon position, rotation and scale updates.
I think if people were to describe the way they work with different apps and how they maintain their work in the event of a crash that would be useful to know a) for other people using the software and also b) for app designers so that they can make sure their software will be easy to allow for these work flows.

I soooo feel the pain of a breaking spirit. My hard drive warped or got corrupted or something in July and I lost everything. I went all of August without the "oomph" I used to have. My new computer is not the elite gaming rig that I used to have, it's more of a general use home pc so it's way underpowered for what I'm used to. My Photoshop crawls along on even the most basic things and games are so slow as to be unplayable. I'm saving in PS after every step I complete successfully because I feel it's a major triumph to accomplish anything beyond file - open. So in a way, a crappy pc is teaching me to be more diligent than the super computer I used to have. All I can say in the way of encouragement is this: it does come back. You get the itch eventually and you just gotta do something to scratch it. How long it takes to come back varies for the individual and mine is slowly coming back (been fiddling in PS for about a week now after a month of nothing). Steel lost his mojo and hasn't got it back yet and it's been like 2 years...poor guy. But at least you still have a pc to play with and it will take a few days or weeks of cursing under your breath and the thought of mapping stops making you feel disgusted but it goes away. Killing aliens or zombies for a week helps to settle the bile but nothing scratches the itch like a well done map.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Well after a nights sleep I do feel a little better.
Normally I do what you guys do and save often but when I get really absorbed making art I tend to hyper-focus and time goes out the window. This was one of those sessions. It would be nice if there was an auto save feature where you could save to a temp file just in case. I wouldn't want it to save over my actual file. I can do that myself but an autosave file would be perfect. Not sure how that would function if you were in the middle of running a filter when it hit however.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

SPARKS, Nevada (Reuters) – A staff member was killed and two students were wounded on Monday when a student opened fire at a middle school in the northern Nevada city of Sparks before taking his own life, a county official said.
A police dispatcher said there was no remaining threat at the Sparks Middle School after the early morning shooting, the latest among several in recent years in different parts of the United States. The dispatcher could not provide any information about the student who opened fire.
The two wounded boys were in critical condition at Renown Regional Medical Center in nearby Reno, hospital spokeswoman Angela Rambo said.
Washoe County emergency manager Aaron Kenneston said the emergency call reporting the shooting came in at about 7.30 a.m.
Police said the staff member who was fatally shot was trying to intervene.
Terry Bartek, a spokeswoman for the Washoe County School District, which includes Sparks, did not know if classes were already in session when the shooting occurred. Classes at the middle school and a neighboring elementary school were canceled.
"Students from the actual school where the incident happened are being moved to another site to be picked up by parents," Bartek said.

SUNY Delhi has created a series of programs to meet the educational needs of the surrounding community. Currently, the College offers advisement and registration services to local community members who wish to take classes without formally enrolling in a degree program (non-matriculated students), and to academically successful area high school students seeking college credit while earning their high school diplomas.
Non-Matriculated Students
The Continuing Education Office serves non-matriculated students: i.e., those who have not been admitted to a degree or certificate program at SUNY Delhi, but who are enrolled in credit-bearing courses. The Office also welcomes individuals interested in college study to improve academic standing (limited to individuals whose permanent residence lies within a 40-mile radius of SUNY Delhi), prepare for a college major, pursue employment/advancement opportunities, or simply for personal interest. Information, advisement, registration, and scheduling services are all provided to assist individuals with non-matriculated studies. Registration materials and information are generally available in mid-April for summer and fall terms, and in late October for winter and spring terms.
For further details regarding non-matriculated study, contact Enrollment Services at 607-746-4550.
Accelerated College Entrance Program for High School Students & ONC/BOCES Distance Learning Program
The number of high school students entering college with earned college credits has increased significantly. SUNY Delhi, in collaboration with area high schools, offers local students who are academically well prepared the opportunity to enroll in affordable college-level courses and earn transferable college credit through on-site instruction during the school day through the Accelerated College Entrance Program. In addition, a number of area schools and BOCES centers participate in the ONC/BOCES Distance Learning Program, which uses full-motion advanced video technology to broadcast college-level courses live to participating sites.
Enrollment and registration information for both the ACEP and BOCES Distance Learning programs is provided to area high schools and is also available through SUNY Delhi.
Well-prepared high school students who have access to the SUNY Delhi campus may (with advisement) enroll in the broad array of courses offered by the College, thus benefiting from the experience of the collegiate learning environment while receiving a significant reduction in tuition and fees.
For more information on these programs, contact Enrollment Services at 607-746-4550.

Ear and Nose Hair Trimmer
Manufactured In: China
Material - Country Of Origin: China
Rated 3 out of 5Â by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Joeb Gets the Job Done I had one of those cheap "dime store" nose trimmers which did not perform to my expectations. The trimmer from the Vermont Country Store has a durable design and the power needed to get the job - of trimming those pesky nose hairs - done! June 5, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Devoted Wife A big disappointment I got this for my husband, who uses a small scissors for this task. He once had an "As Seen On TV-type" ear and nose hair trimmer, but it was not of high quality. I thought this product's good brand reputation would make a second try worthwhile. While it doesn't cut his skin, it hardly cuts the hair, either. Very inefficient and irritating. The blade is puny and flimsy and lacks a cover to protect it when not in use (something that even the knock-off version had). No big deal, really, since this item has already been relegated to the junk drawer, and he's back to using the scissors. What a disappointment! December 25, 2012

From the sublime spectacle of crashing waves to the vast and open expanse of the oceans, the sea has long fascinated artists in Britain. The Power of the Sea offers a multi-disciplinary approach to this fascinating subject, showcasing work by internationally-renowned contemporary artists alongside key historical works from national and regional art collections.
Many of the earliest artists in the exhibition - George Morland, Francis Danby, John Brett and Walter Langley - emphasized the Romanticism of the sea through images depicting the human costs of shipwrecks and their aftermath. Meanwhile JMW Turner and John Constable were captivated by its elemental nature – its fury and fluidity, breeze and light. By the late nineteenth century, the sea seemed more benign, a source of leisure and health: Henry Moore, David James, and Sydney Mortimer Laurence experimented with different ways to capture the movement of the waves. In the twentieth century Paul Nash, Edward Wadsworth and Paul Feiler found reassurance in the simple geometry of sea walls and boats, while Peter Lanyon, John Piper and Joan Eardley portrayed the coast as much more insubstantial, a place of swirling winds and shifting moods, reflecting personal experience.
In contemporary art, maritime environments have been both minimalist panoramas and places of familiarity and intimacy. Maggi Hambling, recognised for her celebrated series of North Sea Paintings, has depicted the power and energy of the sea in both paint and bronze. Gail Harvey creates colourful waves, while Kurt Jackson, Len Tabner and Janette Kerr depict seas that furiously foam and froth. The monochromatic photographs and etchings of James Beale, Norman Ackroyd and Thomas Joshua Cooper capture the moods, beauty and momentary movements of the ocean. History, memory, myth and maritime tradition inhabit the works of Hugh O'Donoghue and Will Maclean. Coastal erosion and rising sea levels are portrayed in work by Simon Read, Michael Porter and Jethro Brice, while Peter Matthews and Andrew Friend immerse work in the sea or create devices that deliberately disappear beneath its surface.
This significant exhibition demonstrates the contrasts and continuities in artists' engagement with the sea over a period that spans more than two centuries. It encompasses a time of great change in man's relationship with nature - and the understanding of that relationship – bringing us to the present day and the effects of climate change upon rising sea levels, which has only lent greater urgency to their work.
The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated book entitled The Power of the Sea: Making Waves in British Art 1790-2014, published by Sansom & Company, available from the RWA during the exhibition at a special price of £20 (RRP £25).

|Girls hope for exciting season
|Written by Sharlene Hart
By Sharlene Hart
The fire-breathing Dragons are back and ready to fight hard to win a girls' State Basketball Championship. The JV and varsity girls began this season with an opening game against Wray Tuesday, Dec. 2.
Arlan Scholl is leading the Holyoke High School girls' basketball team into what he hopes to be an exciting season. This marks Scholl's 21st year of coaching—eight of which are with HHS girls' basketball. At his side, assistant coaches Clint Goldenstein and Rebecca Helm are ready to get in on the action and help make the girls a strong team that strives together on the court.
Goldenstein is in his sixth year of coaching various sports at Holyoke schools while Helm returns to take on her third year with assisting coaching at Holyoke. The line-up is looking very strong with 30 girls out. Scholl said, "We have one returning starter and eight varsity players who had a lot of in-game playing time." These girls will carry forth their skills into this season. This year there are seven seniors, seven juniors, 10 sophomores and six freshmen on the team. Last year, the girls took the regional championship title against Longmont Christian and placed fifth at State.
In their last five years of playing at State, the team has placed fifth, fourth, second, third and fifth in that order. In 2007 HHS girls got District runner up and in 2006 the girls received their third straight district championship. Scholl noted, "The girls had a great summer season." He feels the girls are very competitive. He also said there is about an even amount of players from each grade and he is looking forward to see them all come together as a team.Super Star, letter winning players returning are seniors Phawn Carper, Katie Hoffner and Maddie Starkebaum; and juniors Shelby Beavers, Chasity Pelle, Nora Roth and Marissa Smith. The team also includes seniors Vanessa Nishi, Eveliina Rantanen, Krista Schafer and Flor Varela; juniors Molly Fricke, Pilu Lund and Elle McGaw; sophomores Emma Adams, Patricia Adams, Valerie Auersperg, Mallory Bennett, Becca Brandt, Heather Duester, Kaylee Groshans, Chantel Rafert, Ella Stewart and Marci Vasa; and freshmen Emily Bradley, Annie Daniel, Laura Gerk, KrisAnna Ham, Shayna Oosthuysen and Brooke Parker.
Results of the Dec. 2 game will be in next week's Enterprise. The girls will play at Brush on Thursday, Dec. 4 and at home against Idalia Saturday, Dec. 6.

REGIONALREPORT TriadHonda has its hand out again for more money
Its not as if Guilford County doesnt love Honda Aircraft Co. Theyve hired all the folks they said they would and paid them higher wages than anticipated, County Commissioner Billy Yow says. But Hondas attempt to extract $9.4 million from the state and local government for a possible expansion of its Piedmont Triad International Airport operations is stoking a fresh debate over incentives: Should taxpayers continue to subsidize a global manufacturing superstar while local companies go begging?
Its just plain wrong, Yow says. There are a lot of businesses in town that have been here a long time and are struggling. If youre going to do this for Honda, you ought to do it for them too. Greensboro-based Timco Aviation Services Inc. employs more than 2,200 at the airport and does maintenance, which could compete with the service center that Honda wants to build. But the majority of Guilfords county commissioners want to give Honda the money. Greensboro already has approved a $520,000 incentives package.
In 2007, state and local government granted the Tokyo-based giant $8 million to build its $100 million headquarters at Piedmont Triad International. It also has a $27 million jet-engine plant in Burlington, which employs 70. Now, Honda plans to build manufacturing operations. To make this happen in Guilford, it wants $8.1 million from the state for infrastructure and $775,000 in incentives from the county.
Though the company wont comment on its plans, Honda secretly told Triad leaders its new operations would cost $80 million and might employ 300. It wants to start construction this month but wont say if alternative locales are being considered. Many argue that Hondas existing investment in the region including the Burlington factory dictates that it expand in the Triad regardless of incentives.
But critics say that wont matter. If you make any plausible argument that youll invest some money or create jobs ... the government will subsidize you, says Robert Orr, executive director of the Raleigh-based North Carolina Institute for Constitutional Law. Nobody says no.
$27.4 million
Direct economic impact on the Triad from the 2011 AT&T U.S. Figure Skating Championships, held at Greensboro Coliseum Complex in January. Thats more than the $22 million generated by the 2011 Atlantic Coast Conference Mens Basketball Tournament, also held in Greensboro. The Wyndham Championship golf tournament averages $25-$30 million a year.
$3 million

Price a Massachusetts real-estate investment trust will pay for 26 of Greensboro-based Bell Partners Inc.s senior-living properties. Its part of a strategic shift divesting senior-living and commercial holdings to focus on Bells 211 apartment complexes outlined about 18 months ago. Bell will be left with two senior-living properties.
GREENSBORO Cigarette maker Lorillard added former White House Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr. to its board. Card held the position during President George W. Bushs term and also worked in the administrations of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan.
GREENSBORO Wyndham Worldwide extended its contract to sponsor the local PGA Tour golf tournament, the Wyndham Championship, through 2016. The Parsippany, N.J.-based hotel and resort owner didnt release terms of the deal.
ELKIN MVP Group International plans to expand its home-fragrance plant here, adding 67 jobs in the next three years. That will increase the Charleston, S.C.-based companys local workforce to 171. The average annual wage will be $28,033.
WINSTON-SALEM Mohamed Abdulmohsin Al Kharafi & Sons WLL of Kuwait, the largest shareholder of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, sold 26% of its stake in the company, making a profit of $22.8 million.
WINSTON-SALEM Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall sued Hanesbrands, alleging that the apparel maker breached contract when it can-celed his endorsement deal in May because of tweets he wrote criticizing the public celebration of Osama bin Ladens death.
WINSTON-SALEM Edwin Allman, bankruptcy trustee for Pace Airlines, wants the estate of former owner Robert Brooks to return $800,000 to the defunct charter-airline company. Paces 423 employees are owed more than $1.5 million in back wages. Creditors forced it into Chapter 7 bankruptcy in January 2010.
MOCKSVILLE Raleigh-based CB Holdings will pay $15.6 million to buy the assets of bankrupt Renegade Holdings, Renegade Tobacco and Alternative Brands. The companies will be rebranded as part of Firebird Manufacturing and Cherokee Brands, which CB Holdings already owns, and retain all 100 employees.

The first thing you'll need is a host for your files. Check with your Internet Service Provider to see if they offer free web hosting as part of your account. If they don't, you'll need to decide whether you want to pay for hosting or use a free hosting site, which will place advertisements on your pages.
After that, you'll need to decide how to create your web pages. You can Save As a Webpage from Word, but the resulting page will probably not look very good and will be far larger than is necessary. You could try a "WYSIWYG" editor (What You See Is What You Get) like Microsoft FrontPage or Dreamweaver, but those can be expensive. Or you could learn a little bit of HTML and do it by hand.
The latter route is the one I prefer--all it requires is a text editor and a web browser. If you want to learn HTML, there are loads of tutorial sites available. Here's the one that taught me the most: http://www.extropia.com/tutorials I recommend starting with the one entitled "Intro to Web Design."
Once you have your web host and your files, you need to get the files onto the host. Most hosts will have a file manager service that you can use to upload your files, and all of them will have details about how to transfer your files via ftp if that's your preference.
Here's a sample of the campaign site I maintain: http://www.bryanray.name/queen
The game isn't currently running because the forum we were playing in vanished. Feel free to look at the code ( view > source in Internet Explorer ) to see how it's put together. The formatting information is stored in a separate file here: http://www.bryanray.name/queen/queen.css That's CSS code, which makes maintaining a web site much easier, since you can store all of the formatting and visual effects separately from the actual information (which is in the .html file).
I offer my own page as a sample because it's relatively simple in structure. There's no confusing javascript or bizarre code in it. That makes it much easier to maintain and also useful for examples.
Setting up your first web page is a little bit daunting at first, but it's easier than it looks.

Fifty Years Later, Hattie Carroll's Death Remembered
It was the night of Feb. 8, 1963, and William D. Zantzinger, a prosperous tobacco farmer from Southern Maryland, was the center of attention at the Spinsters' Ball, a swanky charity event at the Emerson Hotel in Baltimore.
Channeling Fred Astaire in a top hat, white tie and tails, a carnation in his lapel and a brashly-wielded wooden cane, the 24-year-old "rural aristocrat" and his wife, Jane, came in drunk and quickly announced their intention to become even drunker. "I just flew in from Texas. Gimme a drink!" Zantzinger reportedly declared upon his entrance.
With each new swig of whatever spirit he was consuming, the 6-foot-2-inch, 225-pound man grew more belligerent. He quarreled with other guests. He fell on his wife in an intoxicated sprawl on the dance floor then started hitting her with his shoe. He assaulted bellhop George Gessell with his cane and chased waitress Ethel Hill, whom he smacked on her behind and called the N-word.
A short time later, Zantzinger elbowed his way to the bar, loudly demanding another bourbon. Hattie Carroll, a 51-year-old barmaid with a history of high blood pressure, was busy serving another customer. She asked him to wait for a moment.
But Zantzinger, wealthy owner of West Hatton, a 630-acre farm along the Wicomico River in Charles County, did not take kindly to having his wishes deferred.
"He said 'Ni—r, did you hear me ask for a drink?' He said 'I don't have to take that kind of sh-t off a ni—r,'" Marina Patterson, a coworker, later testified, according to an AFRO account. "He took the cane and struck her on the right shoulder. She leaned at the bar…. She seemed to have been in shock. She said 'That man has upset me so, I feel deathly ill.'"
Other co-workers confirmed Patterson's account.
"Zantzinger yelled 'Why are you so slow, you black b-t-h?' then hit Mrs. Carroll with the cane," added Grace Shelton, of Mulberry Street.
Moments later, Carroll had to be helped to the pantry. Her co-workers said her speech became slurred and garbled, and numbness crept along her right arm, which they tried to massage back to life. She was rushed to Mercy Hospital. And, by 9:15 a.m. on Feb. 9, about eight hours after the incident, Carroll was pronounced dead. The mother of 11 (nine living and two dead) and grandmother of modest means had died of an apparent cerebral hemorrhage.
News of the incident sparked widespread outrage throughout Baltimore's Black community. The AFRO reported reactions were "quick and bitter," and that switchboards at the newspaper and the local NAACP "buzzed incessantly" with demands for justice.
"The case was drawn in shades of black and white," the AFRO remarked, "and not only because of the racial identification of the victim and her accused slayer. It seemed to place the rich against the poor, the haves against the have-nots."
The community's anger and sadness shrouded Carroll's Valentine's Day funeral like a thundercloud. "It was a cold, grey day," reported the AFRO 's Ralph Matthews.
About 1,600 mourners—only half of whom could fit into the sanctuary—attended the service at Gillis Memorial Church, where Carroll had served as a deacon and choir member.
The Rev. Theodore Jackson, pastor of the church, said his parishioner's death demanded a united response.
"This one death will mean more to the city of Baltimore than any other," he preached. "I do think the ministers of this city, the doctors, lawyers, all people should come together as never before and let people know that colored citizens are not going to stand for certain things."
Jackson's indignation, and that of the community's, stemmed in part from city officials' handling of the case. State's Attorney William J. O'Donnell did not oppose bail for Zantzinger. He also indicated that his office would likely settle for a manslaughter conviction, not murder.
Deputy State's Attorney Charles E. Moylan Jr., the key prosecutor on the case, said he feared the case would trigger a riot.
"From the outset I figured we had to make certain it was obvious that the government was treating the case with maximum seriousness and bringing all our resources to bear," the now-retired judge told the AFRO in a recent interview.
On the night of Carroll's assault, a pugnacious Zantzinger was arrested and charged with murder, three counts of assault and disorderly conduct. He was later released on $25,000 bail. His wife, who was charged with assaulting an officer and disorderly conduct, was released on $600 bail, according to news accounts.
Zantzinger faced a tentative trial date of March 28, but won motions to have the case moved to Hagerstown, citing prejudicial media coverage. He opted to face a panel of judges, rather than a jury.
The trial finally began at 9:30 a.m. on June 19, 1963.
The courtroom was packed.
Thirty witnesses were called by the prosecution, including members of the "state's aristocracy" that attended the ball, many of whom "wore rather shame-faced expressions, as if they were embarrassed to be involved in a trial of this nature," wrote AFRO correspondent James Williams, describing the scene. He added, however, that Zantzinger and his wife seemed unmoved.
O'Donnell and Moylan mounted a vigorous offense but they faced a difficult task.
"Clearly we had a case of simple assault, but to elevate [that] to a homicide level, we had to prove that what he did was the effective cause of death," Moylan said. That was difficult because "there was no bullet, no knife and the cane was a little thing [that] could do nothing more than sting."
The prosecution's last and chief witness was Dr. Charles Petty, the medical examiner who performed the autopsy on Carroll. He said he believed the blow from Zantzinger's cane had caused the victim's fatal stroke. "My opinion is there was a definite relationship," he told the court. "The assault occurred some minutes before the onslaught of the symptoms. I feel there is a definite cause and effect between the two."
The defense produced doctors of its own. They argued that Carroll's medical history, including an enlarged heart, hardened arteries and hypertension, could offer other reasons for her stroke.
And they tried to paint their client as an honest, hard-working man.
"When Zantzinger took the stand, it was in an effort to portray himself as a dirt farmer who went to Baltimore just to 'cut up' a bit, and drank so much that he had no recollection of striking Mrs. Carroll," Williams wrote in a story entitled "Cane-Killer Forgets."
On June 27, 1963, eight days after trial started, the three-judge panel pronounced that Zantzinger was guilty of manslaughter. Then, in late August, amid AFRO stories about the historical triumph of the March on Washington, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, a disturbing headline announced Zantzinger's sentence—six months in prison and a $500 fine.
The judges said they didn't believe he was "an animal type," according to historic accounts. They also feared he would be murdered by Black inmates in state prison. The judges even gave Zantzinger time to harvest his crops before he began his sentence.
The blatant injustice angered many, including singer Bob Dylan, who had performed at the historic civil rights March on Washington. He later immortalized Carroll in a song, "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll."
"I think what was jarring to Bob Dylan and to many was the sick irony of King's 'I Have a Dream' speech being given that day and the injustice against this woman who was pursuing her dream by working, taking care of her children, going to church… [and then] murdered," said Sharon Harley, an associate professor of African American Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. "The sentencing was in no way commensurate with his crime."
Through it all, Zantzinger remained unrepentant.
"The idea that Black people were no better than an animal and that if a 'dog' offends you, you have the right to beat that 'dog' with a cane was the attitude that most White people in the South had towards Blacks," said Temple University scholar Molefi Kete Asante.
In later news reports, friends and acquaintances of Zantzinger felt he was maligned. He lived a relatively quiet life after his release from jail. Then, in 1991, he was convicted of victimizing Blacks again, this time for illegally collecting rent from African American families living in shanties that he no longer owned, since they had been foreclosed for unpaid taxes. Through it all, his family remained mum. When the AFRO contacted Zantzinger family members this week, they refused comment.
"It's over," said one relative.
But for many, the case of the killing of Hattie Carroll lives on.
Zantzinger died Jan. 9, 2009, less than two weeks before Barack Obama took the oath of office as president of the United States.
On March 10, the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts will launch an exhibition on the case with a reception headlined by Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown, officials said.

text: Well hello from central pa. Saturday I was lucky enough to get my biggest buck ever. I took an 8 point with a 17 ½ inch spread. Maybe not a monster to some folks but for me not sure I will ever top it. I hit it far back and took for ever to find it but perseverance and a prayer to my dad did it. I lost my dad in July and dedicate it to him.

Hello all, although there aren't too many of us on here lately due to many recent arrivals. Haven't heard from Trouble in a while... hope all is ok and thinking of her.
Just had my 24 week check up - all is well except I am measuring 25 1/2 weeks. She said she wasn't alarmed with 1 inch either way. Especially since I'm so vertically challenged at only 5'2 (and that is giving me 1/4 an inch :-) But I know what I'm in for. I measured ahead for most of my pregnancy with DS, and he was 9 lbs... so I'm not expecting a baby any smaller. She said wive's tale is that second babies are bigger... eek. Although with a repeat c-section, I guess I'm not too concerned as long as he's not much, much bigger. Don't want to bring home a toddler! She also thinks his head is up, which would explain why I can get winded so easily (even when just sitting down). His head being the biggest part of him pushing into my lungs can create much less space for air. I was a bit nervous last week on a conference call when I could barely talk.
Hopefully we'll be welcoming WedOct soon to the PG boards... so happy for you. WPP, Northern... who else? Northern, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and your testing coming up!

Acee: Time almost out for USD's Grier?
The crown jewel is battered at the beautiful school atop the hill.
The University of San Diego wins. Except in men's basketball.
That's a problem.
"This is the sport you've got to do it in," USD Athletic Director Ky Snyder said on Saturday, shortly before the Toreros tipped off in what would be a season-ending victory over visiting Pepperdine.
The 76-69 win also ended USD's losing streak at five games.
It is, however, difficult to believe the result did anything to put off the end of Bill Grier's time as USD's Head Coach.
This is never pleasant.
But, fact is, there is little evidence to argue against it being time for Grier to go.
Oh, there is substance to such an argument. But there is no substantiation.
If Snyder is to retain Grier for a seventh season, it will be on faith more than anything.
Barring a bunch of things going extremely wacky, USD will this week in the West Coast Conference tournament wrap up its fourth straight losing season and fifth consecutive non-winning season since going to the NCAA Tournament in 2008.
At this point, everyone who cares -- not a big group based on the empty seats almost always outnumbering rear ends at Jenny Craig Pavilion (capacity 5,100) this season -- knows a decision is pending.
"We have to wait for the season to be over," Snyder protested.
At least he acknowledges a verdict is pending. But he has to have already assessed this situation. Snyder is a smart guy. He knew the instant he saw me Saturday what my purpose was for wanting to talk to him.
Neither he nor Grier questioned the questions. Grier did shrug and decline to publicly lobby for his retention.
He's a good man.
Snyder speaks highly of Grier's navigation of his program's challenges, his selflessness, his character and how an influx of shooters will help solve the Toreros' offensive woes.
Sure, there are extenuating circumstances, things to consider that comprise a fuller picture than just wins and losses provide. There always are. And I think highly enough of Grier and Snyder that I'll be compelled to respect the decision if Snyder determines his coach deserves a reprieve.
The Toreros lost five of the seven games they played without starting center Chris Manresa at the beginning of the season. Their top guard off the bench, Mike Davis, missed nine straight games before returning briefly Saturday.
That makes it tough, because if but for a few more wins this season, Grier would deserve a 2013-14 campaign.
The team's two starting guards – sophomores Johnny Dee and Christopher Anderson – max their ability every minute on the court. Even if he gets axed, Grier must get credit for landing freshman big man Jito Kok, who is here from the Netherlands and is a talent you need to see next year. There is also much anticipation about guard Duda Sanadze, who redshirted this season. And Brett Bailey, an All-State player from Washington, has signed with USD.
Most notably, Grier had to fight through the strain and struggle of a point-fixing scandal involving a former player and former coach. He had to re-constitute a young team after that. That rebuilding including the decision prior to last season to jettison two of his best players, sacrificing talent for character.
His handling of such things has won him an admirer in his boss.
"One of the biggest reasons I like working with Bill," Snyder said, "is that I trust he's going to do things the right way."
Can't argue with that. Basketball is no exception to what we expect from a USD athletic program that exemplifies faith and fine people.

If it was production issues, then his replacement should be summarily dismissed. I do not recall any off the court problems. Moreover, recruiting was going very well. This is some of worst ISU basketball I've seen in many years.
Ask that guy Doyel from cbs sportsline. He broke some scheduling scandal, which I guess was enough to get him fired.
Lack of discipline was one of the main reasons cited.
I'll take lack of discipline within the program and some wins over what we're seeing now.
He was a very, VERY poor bball coach.
You're welcome.
If he was wrongly fired, he should be coaching somewhere today, right?
I never really like Morgan anyway. He always had that same puppy dog look on his face. He never showed any emotion at all.
Let's give Coach McDermott another year. I think he's got the makings for getting this program back on the upswing. With all due respect to Morgan, he was not a head coach. Witness his previous one year as a head coach in California.
because he was a horrible coach. here's a question, even though he recruited great players why did we suck his last year here? we were clearly talented enough to get into the NIT at least, but no we couldn't even do that. watching games that year was the most frustrating thing in the world.

Very well put! He was a great recruiter but just seemed to lack emotion during games. How many times the camera would go to him when the team was down and he just had that look "puppy dog" look and wouldn't seem to even try to get the guys fired up...almost like he was giving up.

ATLANTA -- Will it be the first formal step toward the death of the Georgia Dome, and the birth of a new retractable roof stadium in Atlanta? The Georgia World Congress Center Authority will meet Monday morning to look over the tentative terms of a possible stadium deal with the Falcons.
The terms sheet is being revealed at 9 a.m. It will formally lay out projections of who will own what, who will make money from where, and how much it will all cost. It will also illustrate the plans for the possible sites near the current dome, and the likely steps in the process to come.
Talks have been going on for nearly two years, with numbers and projections leaking out all along the way. Construction estimates that started as low as $750 million have now run up to $1.2 billion. The stadium could be ready to go by 2017, with the Dome being demolished after the Falcons move into their new home. The state would own it, and the Falcons would run it.
Monday morning, the deal's preliminary terms will be put down on paper, with a possible vote signaling the deal will begin to formally move forward. The major negotiations would start after the terms are signed.
The state legislature hasn't yet approved it, but current plans are for nearly 40 years of hotel/motel tax collections to fund one third of the stadium's cost. Taxpayers might have to pay for road improvements surrounding the new stadium.

Lots of tracks
Some little meadows in the timber.
Finally came up on a small pond/waterhole. I like this, and will definitely be keeping my eye on it. Not sure it will still be there by Sept. It might be down to a wallow by then. About 1 1/2 mile of timber to get to it.

Cyclones Claim 20th Consecutive Win Over UNI
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The Iowa State swimming and diving team (4-3-1, 0-1) picked up its 20th–consecutive victory over instate foe Northern Iowa, 191-103. Iowa State remained perfect on the road for the 2013-14 season after topping its fourth Summit League opponent on the year.
According to Iowa State head swimming coach Duane Sorenson, the Cyclone swimmers were able to "experiment" by racing in events they typically don't compete in.
"We were able to just stand up and race," Sorenson said. "It was fun to see people get up and compete in different events."
With the Big 12 Championships one month out, Sorenson and his staff are in the process of determining who will be swimming in which events in Austin, Texas. Each swimmer will be competing in three individual events at the championships as opposed to the usual two – the results of today's meet will help in the selection process.
"It's just going to give us more information when we made the final decision," Sorenson said. "We will sit back and analyze how each person swam and make that final call."
After facing struggles in the Illinois meet as a result of team illness, the Cyclones "weathered the storm" to return to winning form. Iowa State sophomore Maria Gannon notched her first collegiate victory this afternoon when she out touched the field in the 1000-freestyle with a time of 10:46.65.
Coming off of a dominate performance against the Fighting Illini a week ago, the Iowa State divers rode their momentum past the Panthers. The Cyclones outscored UNI in the diving well, 22-16.
"We definitely came out on 1-meter and competed extremely well," Iowa State head diving coach Jeff Warrick said. "We are definitely showing great signs of improvement."
ISU's Elyse Brouillette was the point leader for the Cyclones today as she tallied 18 of the team's 22-points. The sophomore swept the 1 and 3-meter boards with scores of 288.38 and 290.63, respectively – setting a season best in the 1-meter event.
The Cyclones return to the road next week as they travel to Athens, Ohio for a double dual meet against Ohio and West Virginia on Feb 1.

Here is one of those things that fascinates me. The baseball quiz show, Baseball IQ, is currently blacked out on MLBNetwork. A game show is blacked out! I was tuning in to check on the Mets/Padres game anyway because the scoreguide said it was on MLB (it is actually on the alternate channel, though not listed in the guide), so I'm not upset about missing the game show, but that is a new height of strangeness in blackouts.
You get one and only one feed of the MLB channel. That could be the main channel on 213 or the alternate on 214/214-1. If 214 was live, then 213 is blacked out, no matter what is on. The scoreguide was wrong. It is sometimes wrong on MLB alternates as it is also often wrong on NBCSports alternates.
Right now, I am getting Mets/Padres on 214 and blacked out on 213. I cannot say what is on 213 but I am assuming it is the Tigers and Twins.
The Mets game started at 1 pm and the Tigers at 2 pm (ET). So, there is an hour where 213 would be blacked out without a live game if you are getting the Mets game.
The key is that you NEVER get both channels of MLB, no matter what is on.

Monday Afternoon News, November 12
Le Mars City Council Delays 27th Street Project
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars City Council met on Monday afternoon to discuss the 27th Street RISE project, but additional hurdles were put in place, causing the city council to again table the project until the next regularly scheduled meeting for Tuesday, November 20th. The city council was originally wanting to award the construction project to Vander Pol Escavating of Orange City, Iowa for having the lowest bid. However, RISE projects are partially funded by the Iowa Department of Transportation, and the IDOT did not give their approval for Vander Pol Escavating. Instead, the IDOT informed the city council through JEO engineering of South Sioux City, Nebraska that the project should be awarded to Concrete Specialty, Incorporated, the project's second to the lowest bidder. The IDOT indicated that Concrete Specialty, Incorporated meets all the requirements of a Targeted Small Business by having a portion of the ownership retained by a woman, minority, or handicapped individual. Vander Pol was unaware they no longer met the criteria for such construction projects as stipulated by the IDOT. Officials from Vander Pol appealed to the city council to delay its decision until such time they had a chance to appeal the IDOT's decision. The city council would like to see the project started yet this month.
Police Respond To Stand off in Hawarden
HAWARDEN, Iowa (AP) - A 31-year-old man has been released on bond following an eight-hour standoff with officers near Hawarden.
A woman called authorities around 7 p.m. Saturday to report a domestic assault. The woman told Sioux County authorities that she'd been threatened by Paul Long and that he'd said officers
would have to shoot him if they came inside the house, where there were several weapons.
The Plymouth-Sioux-Le Mars Special Response Team were called to help resolve the incident.
Officers who responded say they found Long hiding in the attic when they entered the house to end the standoff around 3 a.m. Sunday.
No gunshots or injuries have been reported.
Jail records say Long has been released. A phone listing for him couldn't be found. Online court records don't list the name of his attorney.
Police Arrest Bank Robbery Suspect
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A 26-year-old man has been accused of robbing a bank in Sioux City.
Online court records say Johnnie Hawkins Jr. faces robbery, assault and firearms charges in connection with the robbery on Saturday morning at Heritage Bank.
Authorities say Hawkins flashed a handgun as he confronted an employee while she was opening the bank.
Police say Hawkins was arrested later Saturday in Sergeant Bluff. The bank money and a handgun were recovered.
A Woodbury County jailer said Hawkins remained in custody on Monday, pending bail of $102,000. Online court records don't list the name of his attorney.

Video: How To Get The Christmas Balls In The Trees
Video: Timelapse: Building A Christmas Ball
Greensboro, NC -- Everything has a purpose, but that doesn't mean you have to use it for just one purpose. Take a bunch of chicken wire for example. Who says you only need it to fence in yard birds?
What if you added a few strands of Christmas lights to the wire and made a magnificent display by putting them in trees. A display that causes traffic jams and also helps those less fortunate.
Its' possible. You just need vision. Jonathan Smith's daughter had it and she convinced him years ago that chicken wire could in fact feed people.
Smith's daughter saw a grapevine ball wrapped with Christmas lights hanging from a tree. Her idea was to make them out chicken wire. When people started stopping and asking about the decorations, she saw the opportunity to be a light to the community.
The neighborhood joined in and set up a trailer so that passerby's and holiday on-lookers could "pay a fee" of sorts for the beauty. Simply, bring a can a food. Fast forward years later and in 2011, Shine A Light On Hunger gave Second Harvest Food Bank more than 7,000 pounds of food!
Drive through the Sunset Hills neighborhood (on Market Street by Wesley Long Hospital in Greensboro) this season and bring a can or two of food with you.
Jonathan joined us for our 5 pm and 6 pm newscasts and built one of the lights to show you step by step what to do.
