WELLSBURG - The Weir Red Riders fell 4-3 to the Morgantown Mohigans on Monday at Brooke Memorial Stadium in the quarterfinals of the OVAC Cup.
They did not do so without a fight.
"We tried,'' Weir coach Joe Pepe said. "We didn't give up. They (Morgantown) played extremely well, but we had three or four mistakes and that's how they scored their goals.
"We had couple of mental breakdowns, but it's nothing we can't fix. We're still a good ball club on its way to becoming a great one.
"We did play very well against one of the top West Virginia AAA teams out there. We played extremely well and didn't quit."
Morgantown plays Steubenville Catholic, a 2-1 winner against Steubenville, in the semifinals at 1 p.m. Saturday at Wheeling Island Stadium.
With 2:18 second left in the match, Morgantown's Chris Atallah sent a crossing pass that found its way through to Akshay Chandra who put the ball into the left side of the net for the 4-3 Mohigans lead.
The Red Riders refused to quit, going on the attack in attempts to do what they had done after each of Morgantown's previous goals - beat Mohigans' goaltender Daniel Berrebi for a game-tying score.
With under a minute they had a chance to do that as Ryan Kirk got off a great shot, but Berrebi forced it off the post to maintain the lead.
Kirk almost had another shot in the waning seconds of the game, but a Morgantown slide tackle kept him from getting off the shot. The play set up what was to be a corner kick for Weir, but the final five seconds ticked off before they could set up, and Morgantown advanced.
"I thought we had it tied up, but that's the way it goes," said Pepe. "That's the way the game goes. There's no sour grapes. My kids didn't quit and I'll always be proud of these kids."
Morgantown started scoring off at the 6th minute when Atallah put the ball in off an Amine Feliachi assist for a 1-0 lead.
Weir answered back on a Ryan Duke goal on an assist from Kenny Muhart, tying the game at 1-1.
The Mohigans' Zach Kilwein found the net off a pass from Moses Lawer-Yolas to put the Mohigans up again at the 24th minute.
The Red Riders were once again tied the game up when Chad Hensley sent a corner kick that cleared to the opposite side of the field where Duke put in his second goal of the game.
Morgantown took the lead with 10:55 left in the game at 3-2, but Weir answered to tie the match.
Kirk put a pass through to Shane Davis, who beat the Berrebi to lock the score at 3-3l with just over three minutes of action remaining.
A minute later Chandra gave the Mohigans the lead and they survived Weir's last ditched efforts to force overtime.
"It feels great," Morgantown coach Joe Melia of the victory. "Of course we were the underdogs in this game so it feels real good. We didn't have that good of a game. It was kind of ugly there for a while.
"It was very frustrating at times because I felt like we could have scored a lot more goals than we did, and on defense we made some horrible mistakes that allowed them to score some, but I'm happy that we won."
Berrebi had 12 saves for the Mohigans with Matt Tenaglio turning away 13 shots in the loss.

Your identity is your biggest asset, and your Social Security number is the key to your personal kingdom. With it an identity thief can wreak havoc, hijacking your old credit accounts, establishing new ones, buying cars and houses, committing crimes, even obtaining medical products and services while pretending to be you, endangering not just your credit and your reputation, but also your life.
Consumers whose Social Security numbers are exposed in a data breach are five times more likely to become fraud victims than those who aren't, according to the latest identity fraud report by Javelin Strategy & Research.
Just say no.
For better or worse, you are the gatekeeper. The person most responsible for shielding your Social Security Number is you. Therefore, your mission is to limit, as best you can, the universe of those who gain access to it.
Here's a short list of companies and organizations that have absolutely no business requesting your Social Security number:

Overnight Thursday into Friday morning there were many scattered power outages across the east thanks to the windy and rainy weather.
One power outage was near the Pitt-Greenville airport. Greenville Utilities says a transformer blew around midnight off of North Green Street. Pitt County dispatchers say a fire truck was also called to the scene.
"I'm just thankful that Greenville Utilities were speedy about getting the utilities back on, getting our electricity back on and our house is back really warm this morning." said Peggy Dudley who lost power.
Progress Energy also reported 1400 customers without power in the wise forks area of Jones County and 184 customers near Dover in Craven County.
The windy weather knocked out power to more than a thousand people across Eastern Carolina early Friday, but the biggest power outages have been fixed.
Scattered outages are still being reported. However, the two biggest outages overnight, in Wise Forks in Jones County and in Atlantic Beach in Carteret County, have been resolved.
Power companies have more power outages to fix as the windy weather continues early this Friday morning.
Progress Energy reports about 1,200 people in Atlantic Beach in Carteret County. Estimated restoration time is 6:30 a.m.
Another large outage is in Greene County, near the community of Olds, east of Snow Hill. Estimated restoration time is 4:45 a.m.
There are several other scattered outages throughout the eastern half of North Carolina.
Progress Energy is reporting several scattered outages; the largest outages being in the Wise Forks area in Jones County where nearly 1,400 customers are without power, and 184 customers near Dover in Craven County are also without power. There are other scattered outages, but they are small, affecting only a few customers in each area.
Progress Energy is currently accessing the damage of the power outage in Jones County, but expects all other outages to be back up and running in the next couple of hours.
Greenville Utilities says a transformer blew around midnight on North Greene Street near the Pitt-Greenville Airport; Pitt County dispatchers say a fire truck was also called to the scene.
GUC says there's only about 25 customers are without power right now, but their crews are working on it and power should be restored soon.
We'll keep checking in on the outages overnight, and keep you posted on any new developments.

I went to Cambodia in 1986, on an assignment given to me by Kathy Ryan of the New York Times Sunday magazine to photograph Dith Pran and Haing Ngor.
My assignment coincided with Diane Sawyer who was doing an ABC news piece on Dith Pran and Haing Ngor returning to Cambodia after filming the movie "The Kiling Fields." It was the first time Pran had returned to his country, and it was still a bit dangerous because there were still Khmer Rouge in the countryside.
Pran grew up near Angkor Wat and as a young man had been a tour guide, when he met Sidney Schanberg, the New York Times reporter, whom he worked for as a translator and fixer.
Schanberg was eventually forced to leave the country, but while he won a Pulitzer for his coverage, Pran became a virtual slave of the Khmer Rouge in a death camp. Dith Pran watched the country descend into the hell known as the killing fields, but was able to survive from 1975 until 1979 during the time when a third of the population was killed. Pran later said, "Only the silent survived."
Eventually Schanberg found Pran in a refugee camp and brought him back to New York and helped him to immigrate to the United States where Pran became a photographer for the New York Times.
Pran and I became friends after our time in Cambodia so after he retired from the New York Times, we returned to Siem Reap. It was moving to be with him as he returned to his country and revisited his family. While there, we visited nearby Angkor Wat. I was so struck at the magnificence of this temple complex, I planned to come back and photograph it as soon as I had the opportunity. Years later, I went back and photographed Angkor Wat on assignment for National Geographic.
Haing Ngor, who played Pran in the movie, "The Killing Fields," won an Oscar for his role. Tragically, Ngor who was a doctor in real life, was murdered in Los Angeles during a robbery.

Nope you wont see the ton on this bike.The rev limiter is set at 5500.So no matter how steep that slope or how much tail wind you catch.The max speed on paper is 150 Kmph.The company claims 130 Kmph.Id really like to see the bike ride able at least at 60 MPH.I think its time to put some pressure on RE to sort this out.I know it can be done. Because Ive seen the test bikes do 140.Off course this was on a Track but they can be made stable.If RE wants.In its present shape well its only safe to a real speed off 50-55 MPH as Singh Ji has pointed out.Im sorry guys. Im not on any nostalgia trip. For me the bike needs to be functional first and foremost.Ive seen more fuss made about stuff like paint in tank, and side stand switches. When this is the real issue that needs sorting.
Your brothers bike is a g5, not a c5, is it not?
77 MPH is 124 Kmph. Even the company only claims 130 Kmph.You have to wonder when you hear guys claiming faster speeds. Guess some roads slope down more than others.
EAMONVince is like an Expert on these bikes. You can bet he would have sorted out any issues in the first week of owning it.Can you tell us what rubber you have on the bike. Because there seems to be a pattern emerging i.e. stock rubber = trouble. Chaged rubber = no problem.i.e. Singh Ji is on stock rubber as am I.

1970 Plymouth AAR CudaWritten by on March 1, 2010 AAR: All American Rare Find - Rare Finds
There's no doubt that it's harder to find a Mopar these days as most of the cars left sitting in the open, as well as many hidden in back yards and garages, have already been purchased. But as the desirable cars we see while driving around have seemed to dwindle in recent years, there have been many advances in technology that can help us find the car we're looking for. Internet sites such as eBay or Craig's List have really created a worldwide marketplace for cars, so instead of driving around the countryside to find our next project we can simply surf the web.
Surfing the web is just what Lakeland, Florida, native Matt Koops was doing when he found a lead on an AAR 'Cuda that had allegedly been drag raced since it was nearly new. Sensing an interesting story, and knowing the website where he got the lead was pretty reliable, Matt followed up his lead, eventually speaking with the current owner of the car in Glen Cove (Long Island), New York. The owner said that yes, the car was an original '70 AAR 'Cuda, but that the original engine had been damaged and replaced in 1974. The car was then raced until 1976 when it was parked, rolled into the garage, and simply sat for 33 years. Matt asked what the asking price was, and it must have been good because he quickly hooked up his trailer and drove the eighteen some hours from Florida to New York.
Upon arriving, Matt discovered the car to indeed have all the signs of an original AAR 'Cuda. Though the Plymouth was originally equipped with an automatic transmission, it had been changed to an A-833 manual when the car had only 1,000 miles on the odometer. Other signs that this car had been raced were the provisions for a tow bar, hood with an aftermarket scoop, and traction aids on the leaf springs. Showing very little mileage and having a clean interior backing the story that this car had been raced and then parked, Matt verified the car by checking the VIN, build sheet, and fender tags then made his purchase.
Arriving back home, Matt found the car to be in fairly good condition overall, with minimal rust in the rear quarters. The interior is in exceptional condition with only a couple of tears in the front seats, and nearly perfect dash, headliner, door panels and rear seat. Like most AAR's, the car has a strange variety of options including quick ratio power steering, optional 3.91 rear gear ratio, radio delete, and bright color, further attesting that this car was likely ordered to race. The floor of the car was cut for an aftermarket Verti-gate shifter, but Matt plans to repair that and has already located a floor section with the provisions for an automatic transmission.
Being an original AAR, Matt says he'll resist the temptation to race the car like the previous owner, instead opting for a full restoration to factory specs. He's already located a correctly dated replacement block, and is trying to track down the original 340, alleged to be in a Duster just a few blocks from where the 'Cuda was sitting. Matt plans to finish the car in the original EV2 orange with black interior, using new or NOS components whenever possible. We look forward to seeing the car when it's finished, and congratulate Matt on his rare find.

All Trans Am cars came with three tags, one of which was bent and broken off during assembly. The corner of the third tag is visible here under the other fender tags.The body of this 'Cuda is in good shape, with most miles clicked off a quarter mile at a time. Even the trunk floor, an area prone to rust in E-bodies, is clean and solid.Though not the original engine, this 'Cuda did come with a 340 and various extra parts and race components. Matt plans to sell those items, offsetting the cost of the restoration.The AAR's original hood was removed and stored in the rafters of the garage while the car was raced and stored, so it was in excellent condition when Matt purchased the car.Along with the parts included in the sale, Matt has already located and purchased many of the items necessary to restore this AAR 'Cuda.....

On Monday we reported on the story of a five-year-old French lad who allegedly stabbed his 10-year-old sister over a Nintendo DS.
We've now learned that the initial media reports were false and that it was the children's mother who actually stabbed her daughter. Long-time GamePolitics reader Soldat Louis offers the update:
In fact, the 10-year-old girl was stabbed, but NOT by her 5-years-old brother. She was stabbed by her mother ! And, of course, it wasn't because of a Nintendo DS.
According to what I read, the daughter was examined by a surgeon, who said that it was impossible that such a young boy could hurt someone so deeply. Then, the investigators talked to the children, and the daughter told them that she was stabbed by her mother, who finally confessed that she did it. She was apparently upset by the noise made by her children.
Soldat Louis reports that the best (French language) coverage of the incident comes from AFP.

2014 Global Health Case Competition
What is the Vanderbilt Global Health Case Competition?
The annual case competition is organized by the VIGH Student Advisory Council and is designed to engage students in real-world global health challenges by introducing them to diverse factors that impact decision-making.
The goal of the case competition is to foster critical analysis and thoughtful action. Undergraduate, graduate, and professional students from across the university participate in multidisciplinary, multi-school teams to tackle a real-life global health case, working together to develop an innovative solution.
The case may involve issues such as health care policy, public health implementation and planning, business partnership and investment, medical research, logistics management, faith and cultural understanding, and international law. There is no right or wrong solution, and no prior knowledge of the case topic is required. Participants do not need to have a background in medicine or health. People from all disciplines bring their different perspectives and expertise to address a complex problem within proposed budgetary constraints.
After two and a half days of research and preparation, teams present their case analysis and recommendations to a panel of expert judges and audience members. The winning team represents Vanderbilt University at the annual Emory International Global Health Case Competition in Atlanta, GA.
Who Can Participate?
The competition is open to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students from all areas of study. Post-graduate and post-doctoral fellows are not eligible to participate. Teams are composed of four to six students from three or more Vanderbilt schools. There are three options for registration:

Case Assignment
Over one million people die annually from road traffic injuries, and, if action is not taken to reverse the trend, this death toll is projected to triple by 2030. Vietnam has one of the highest road traffic death rates in the Western Pacific Region, and, according to the United States Department of State Crime and Safety Report, two of the most dangerous activities in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam are daily, unavoidable occurrences: crossing the street and driving or riding in traffic.
The United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly designated 2011-2020 as the Decade of Action for Road Safety, and chose Vietnam as one of its focus countries. The U.N. Resident Coordinator in Vietnam has released a country-level request for proposals to award a one-time grant for seed funding for a social enterprise with a creative and measurable intervention that could have a significant impact on the issue of road traffic safety in HCMC. U.N. partners, including emergency medical responders, social entrepreneurs, and civil engineers from HCMC will convene to hear the enterprise pitches, review the recommendations, and ultimately select the most feasible proposal to provide start up funds to one group's business.
Drawing upon your team's research and expertise, your task is to develop a business plan for a social enterprise that will address one or more aspects of road traffic safety. Your pitch should be based on the needs you identify in HCMC, but have potential to be scaled to other urban areas in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Your group will have up to $3 million USD in seed funding, which can be spent over a period of four years. Your plan must demonstrate self-sustainability after the four years.

Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged, inflamed, and sometimes infected. These clogged pores can result in blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples. Acne is common in teenagers, but can also occur in adults.
Acne starts in the skin's sebaceous glands. These glands secrete an oily substance called sebum. The sebum normally travels through a tiny hair follicle from the gland to the skin's surface. Sometimes the sebum becomes trapped and mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria. This causes clogged pores called comedones.
Blackheads are comedones that reach the skin's surface. Whiteheads are comedones that stay beneath the surface of the skin. Small red bumps, pimples, and cysts may also develop.
The main causes of acne include:
A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition.
Risk factors for acne include:
Acne symptoms vary from person to person and can range from mild to severe. They include:
The doctor will examine the areas of your skin with the most sebaceous glands. These areas include the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. If your acne is severe, you may be referred to a dermatologist (skin specialist).
Acne may require a combination of treatments. Most acne does not require surgery. Some treatments may take several weeks to work. Your skin may actually appear to get worse before it gets better.
There are a number of procedures that can be used to treat acne, examples include:
Some of the procedures have risks, such as scarring and infection.
It can be difficult to prevent acne from occurring. It can be difficult to control the factors that cause acne. But, there are some things you can do to keep your acne from getting worse:

The 25 Best Hair Metal Bands - List Of The Day
What ever happened to truth, justice and the American Way?
this is my kind of thread. some of my faves:
Kiss is all-time #1. like the article said, not quite a hair band, but #1 in my book. others are:
-Whitesnake, Ratt, Poison, Warrant, Bullet Boys, Europe, Motley Crue, Cinderella, Firehouse, Trixter, Kix, Quiet Riot, Britny Fox, Dokken (new CD out May 13), Grim Reaper, L.A. Guns, Def Leppard, White Lion, Skid Row, I could go all night.
Are you a member?
Kiss -
Destroyer was a great album
KISS just released another greatest hits type album last Tuesday. It's a 3 CD deal. $18 bucks at Walmart. Very similar to their other "greatest" albums, but as a fan, you should have it.
Pretty good list.
Poision, Skid Row, Scorpions, Cinderella would be my favorites.
Dokken...Winger...then it's a toss-up between Warrant, Cinderella and Slaughter. Leppard is not a hair band...neither is Queensryche. Awesome...but not hair bands.
What about bands like Helix, Kix, Krokus, Keel, etc. who preceded the "hair" bands?

They ALL suck, every single one of them.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
Very surprised that Poison and Skid Row were not included.
What about Metallica? They used to have a lot of hair. AC/DC should be in there too, but perhaps they're too pure heavy metal to be a "hair band".
Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Def Lepard, Aerosmith, Poison were always some of my favorite.
Some Metallica fans would have destroyed things if they were dubbed as a glam band.
For me it has to be Poison. When I was in 8th grade "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" was the song of the year.
They definately should have been on the list.

There are some cool songs on the album. I was shocked to see some Carnival of Souls on there, a very UNDERRATED album.

Letters to the Editor
Concerns over transportation cuts
1 2 Next page >
To the Editor:
This letter is in response to the articles regarding budget cuts to the high schools ("Major cuts in store for high schools," Feb. 14-20. "Community fights for sports," Feb. 21-27). I am an accountant and work on budgets in my current job. Has the Board of Education considered imposing activity-based fees to the high school families that use the after school and bus services? A number of school districts have started imposing nominal fees to help defray the costs of sports programs and busing. These fees keep the programs in place, and do not increase school taxes to the community.
I would much prefer to pay a $150 transportation fee to have my son on a yellow school bus than to have bus transportation eliminated. This proposed transportation fee would include all families using the buses, both public and private schools, to close the budget shortfall.
I would also think that the bowling team families would prefer to pay an activity fee of $50 rather than have the bowling team eliminated. These activity-based fees would have to be kept at a minimum cost as not to impose a burden on families, but yet include all of the sports teams to close the budget shortfall.
The fees I have mentioned are just estimates. The district accountants will be able to calculate what amount will close the deficit and keep the sports teams and school busing in place.
I hope that the board members and Dr. Heidenreich will consider this revenue-generating alternative as they work on finalizing the school budget over the next couple of weeks.
I am writing in regard to your article written in the Herald ("Major cuts in store for high schools," Feb. 14-20) concerning the school budget for the Valley Stream Central High School District. In particular, cuts being made to buses traveling to Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead and Chaminade in Uniondale.

As a parent of a special needs child who was classified as a 12 month child meaning that they received school during the summer months I dont' understand the anger regarding transportation to non-school district high schools. Growing up in Queens and attending an accelerated academic program in Astoria - I at 12 years old was riding the subway from Jackson Heights to Astoria every day. My autistic daughter, at 12 was riding the Nassau County Bus from Fletcher Avenue to Ormonde Avenue every day during the summer session in order to continue to receive her academic services. My husband and I didn't do anything other than teach our child to ride the bus, require that she call or text us when she got on the bus, call or text us when she got off, and when she arrived home after walking ALONE from Merrick Road approximately 6 blocks to our home. Even as a special needs child we have alway encouraged the need to be independent and self-sufficient. While I understand that the Metrocard and riding the buses may not be the ideal for these kids or their parents, at some point, they are going to have to figure out how to take advantage of public transportation, and realize that it is not the powder keg of danger some of these parents are describing. While I do not agree with the budget cuts being proposed. I do not feel that the Metrocard option for these 90 students is bad one. What I find equally appalling is that fact that the budget proposes cutting two varsity teams (bowling and rifle) that are the ONLY co-ed teams in existence in the district. In addition, the rifle team is comprised of the 1 middle school and 3 high schools in the district - which has saved the district money over at least 10 years in maintaining only one range, instead of the 3 in existence. Rifle is also one of the only teams with members that go to the Junior Olympics, and can feed an Olympic team. The rifle team has an exemplary standing in the state, has members that have received FULL scholarships to military colleges (West Point, Anapolis, etc) as well as regular colleges, and has had no incidence of injury requiring the school district to pay for medical injuries - which cannot be said of football, lacrosse, or wrestling (as I witnessed first hand on Saturday 3/2 when a Memorial wrestling team member dislocated his elbow during his match). An ambulance was called, and the student was taken away - all at the district's expense! If we are to produce WELL ROUNDED individuals, not only faith can be encouraged. Respect for the opposite sex, pride in your school and team work, producing individuals who will respect and defend the Constitution and our country, and are capable and independent individuals is as important. The Metrocard solution enables the district to meet their obligations to the non-district student, as well as make room to hopefully maintain these teams. If it is completely unacceptable for these parents to let their high schoolers ride the public buses, and it is completely unacceptable to make other student suffer due to budget cuts, then we need to look at the blatant lack of sense regarding the salaries being paid to teachers in the district. In 2009 of the 549 teachers or adminstrators in the central high school district, 65% of them earned more than $110,000 (most in the $125K range - with the highest at $176K). In a school district where the median household income in 2009 was $80K that is excessive. Especially since I cannot see that the education my children have received comprised anything more than TEST PREP. Also, while we are informed that we need to cut costs, we have not been able to see a copy of the proposed budget to identify if the board of education for our district has developed a budget that meets the needs of the district. As the taxpayer, we should have the opportunity to review the budget and determine whether it in fact suits and meets those needs. There needs to be transparency and accountability by these adminstrators to us as the ones who pay their salaries, benefits, and fund their retirement. We need to unite and make the adminstration see that we are no longer going to accept as truth what is told to us, especially if they cannot produce the information to back up their statements. Too many discrepancies have been found only in the last few weeks to trust that there is not a problem - especially since there has not been a financial report done by the treasurer as we have not had one for 3 months at least! We need to keep asking questions, and requiring answers. And if we don't like the answers, we should act to have more control over how our money is spent.

text: By Shari FriedelTribune Staff The Lady Plainsmen traveled to a triangular in Sutherland early last week where they beat Creek Valley in three sets and lost to Sutherland in two. Sutherland also downed Creek Valley. At a home game on Thursday, Sept. 20, the Lady Plainsmen lost to the Lady Indians of Ogallala in three sets, allowing the Indians' coach Steve Morgan his 800th career win.Ogallala In spite of some good things happening on the Plainsmen side of the net, Perkins County's blocking was not effective against Ogallala's power hitters. "We couldn't shut down their offense," said Head Coach Penny Hite. "Brandie [Ross] was very aggressive and did some really nice things offensively and reading their defense," said Hite. "Courtney Ostermiller did a good job coming in for Carlie [Waitley] in the front row." "I thought they did a good job of not giving up," she said. "They played 'til the end."PC vs. Ogallala9-25, 11-25, 12-25 Kills: C. McClenahan 5, S. Metcalf 4, B. Ross 2, A. Osler, J. Woodmancy, M. Prante, 1 each. Ace blocks: S. Metcalf 6, B. Ross 4, A. Osler 3, C. McClenahan 1. Ace serves: S. Metcalf 1. Sutherland Triangular The Lady Plainsmen defeated Creek Valley Lady Storm in three sets, 25-22, 21-25, 28-26, however, "We didn't have the intensity tonight," commented Coach Hite. The girls needed to get their focus because missed serves were the outcome, said Hite. "Allison Kiolbasa may have had only one ace serve, but she went in to finish the game— as the score was 27-26 game point and finished it with vengeance!" Hite said, after commending Shania Metcalf and Courtney McClenahan for stepping up to get the offense to respond. The girls put the game behind them and moved on to play Sutherland. Although the Lady Sailors downed the Lady Plainsmen 21-25 and 9-25, Hite said the girls moved much better defensively and their serving was much improved. "We had a hard time breaking their defense and fell short." Hite said. "In the second set we shut down and could tell that our mind set was elsewhere."PC vs Creek Valley25-22, 21-25, 28-26 Kills: S.

Taylor Swift cut off her long locks on Tuesday to celebrate the end of her year-long world tour.
The music superstar's massive Red Tour ended at London's O2 Arena to a sold-out crowd, and following her final show, Swift took to Instagram.com to show off her new hairdo.
London, I could never thank you enough. See you next time! PS: short hair, don't care. (!!!) http://t.co/QtL7EJrZjq
— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) February 12, 2014
Sharing a photo of herself with special guest Ellie Goulding, who joined Swift onstage for a duet of the Brit singer's hit Burn, Swift added the caption, "London, I could never thank you enough. See you next time! PS: short hair, don't care. (!!!)"
The blonde beauty also posted a video prior to the haircut showing a large group of pals gathered around her, as she jokes, "We don't do anything without an audience, do we?"

Among her celebrity friends to witness the chop were Goulding, model Cara Delevingne and her ex-beau Harry Styles.
Fans have also speculated that the short cut was inspired by late actress Shirley Temple, who passed away on Monday and was known for her signature curly blonde hair.
Before her show on Tuesday, Swift wrote on Twitter.com, "Sitting backstage at the O2 in London, thinking about what an impressive and extraordinary life Shirley Temple led. Thanks for the memories."

George Zimmer Was 'Terminated,' but I Don't Like the Way This Looks; I Guarantee It
George Zimmer photo courtesy of the Milken Institute
I had to do a double-take when I found out that Men's Wearhouse founder George Zimmer had been terminated from his position as executive chairman.
The man has been selling suits for my entire life, dating back to 1973. That raspy voice, that full beard, those dapper-looking suits. "You're going to like the way you look; I guarantee it."
I guarantee that voice will be missed. He was the Men's Wearhouse for all those years beckoning patrons to suit up in the 1,143 stores across the country.
I don't know the ins and outs of what took place behind closed doors and I understand that some people can be hungry for change, but if it ain't broke don't fix it.
At the time of this writing, Men's Wearhouse stock sat at $36.69, which is close to the company's 52-week high of $38.59. That's about as high as the stock has been since hitting $52.18 in June 2007 and much better than the $10.64 low in 2008. In other words, the company seems to be doing pretty well.
Beyond that, I always appreciated the way Zimmer shunned background checks of his employees, which is unusual in retail. The company is also one of Fortune magazine's 100 Best Companies to Work For this year. It seems to me Zimmer was hugely responsible for that.
It's not the first time that a founder has been ousted from a successful company. Steve Jobs alleged that he was fired from Apple in 1985, although that is disputed, only to return when the company acquired Jobs' startup company called NeXT. Earlier in the year, Andrew Mason got booted from Groupon, and even the late Carl Karcher was let go in the early '90s from fast-food chain Carl's Jr., a company he founded in the 1950s.
I'm going to guess this isn't the last we'll hear from Zimmer. In fact, I guarantee it.
The Men's Wearhouse finally released a clearer picture on why they say Zimmer was terminated from the company, saying Zimmer wanted to take the company private and that he did not support the current CEO. We have a guess where this is headed. In the meantime, here is the company's news release on the matter.
