The St. John seventh and eighth grade boys and girls basketball teams both qualified for the Florida Lutheran State Tournament, which will begin Friday in Ocala.
The girls qualified for state with the No. 2 seed after a strong showing at the Central Florida Lutheran Athletic Association tournament held at St. Michael Ft. Myers last weekend. They defeated Grace Jacksonville, 42-16, before notching their first loss of the season, 39-28, at the hands of St. Michael.
Members of the team include Zoe Seraphin, Erykah Lewis, Christine McNeal, Rebekah DiLavore, Lauryn Palmer, Jesasia Price, Jordyn Pendarvis, Essence Bell and Briley Bartram. The team was coached by Greg Bartram and Roger Bartram.
The second-seeded Saints will play Advent Boca Raton at 5 p.m. Friday at St. John.
The boys finished with the third seed after going 2-1 for the tournament. They began by defeating Faith Lutheran of Eustis, 49-18, before losing to the host team, St. Luke of Oviedo, 51-46. Fortunately, they rebounded with a 40-31 win over Grace Lutheran of Jacksonville to clinch a spot at state.
Nicholas Competiello and Simeon Kirkland led the offense against Eustis with 15 and 12 points, respectively, before posting 17 and 12 points, respectively, against the Wildcats.
Against the Eagles of Grace Jacksonville, the Saints battled back from an 18-14 halftime deficit with an 18-0 run in the third quarter to take control. Kirkland led the way with 10 points, with Competiello (9 points), Dillon Schulke (7 points) and Taylor Medero (7 points) chipping in.
Other team members included Keaton McClutchey, Josiah Regnier, Charlie Humphery, Isiah Paige, Jordan Turner, Cameron Cowart, Joshua Bates, Steven Swanger and Piercen Mendola. The team is coached by John Westol and Ron McMillin and assisted by Tim Cowart and Kelly McClutchey.
Up next, the No. 3 Saints will face Redeemer Lutheran of Stuart at 8:45 p.m. Friday night at St. John.
HOME LOSS: The Ocala Wildcat Lacrosse girls varsity club dropped their home opener to the Robinson Knights, 19-14, last weekend.
Elizabeth Hudson led the defense in a losing effort with seven ground balls, five forced turnovers and two interceptions. Goalkeeper EmiliAnne Wheeler nabbed 14 saves.
Offensively, Caroline Dailey (3 goals, 2 assists), Lauren Anthony (3 goals, assist), Michelle Mack (2 goals, 3 assists) and Peri Barnes (3 goals) all contributed.
The Wildcats will host another game Friday night at 6 at Jervey Gantt Park. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for students.

Italian Turkey Sandwiches
From the kitchen of Sandra Bystrom
Using a 13-15 pound turkey, crumble 3 pounds of Italian sausage around turkey. Cook until done. Save juices.
Cool turkey, remove skin and bones. Shred, add juices back.
Melt 1 stick of butter or margarine and sauté 4-5 stalks of celery and 1 large onion (chopped). Add to meat.
Stir in 2 cans cream of mushroom soup and 1 bag of sage and onion dressing croutons. Mix together.
* At this point you may freeze the meat or continue on.
Add chicken broth (approximately 2 14-ounce cans), until it's the consistency of a nice thick sandwich filling.
Heat through, serve on sandwich buns and enjoy!
- This is a very fun and easy way to serve a crowd and do it economically.
- Keep an extra can or two of chicken broth on hand, especially if you'll be serving this from a crock pot or Nesco roaster over a couple of hours.

I have set up a website that creates an email account with a PHP script from a basic form. This email account is set up correctly on the server. Now I need to be able to "upgrade" an account if certian conditions exist. So I need to send an API call to search for an email address then return the COS in the response. Then if the COS == xyz, upgrade the account to COS: 123. I haven't started trying anything with this yet, but I can't find any documentation on this anywhere.
If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Mtn. View council seeks resident input on animal ordinance
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 21 August 2013 01:30
- Written by Los Altos Town Crier Staff - Town Crier Report
The city of Mountain View adopted its current animal ordinance in 1972, with minimal changes since. Through its City Code, the city encourages responsible pet ownership and aims to ensure that residents are able to safely and peacefully enjoy their community.
The city council is in the process of reviewing Chapter 5 of the Mountain View City Code, which relates to animals, and has proposed a series of amendments to clarify existing provisions, update the ordinance to reflect current needs and incorporate the animal welfare industry's best standards.
Topics under discussion include the number of animals allowed per home, rabies vaccination for cats, pet licensing, microchips versus metal tags for pets and dogs in city parks.
Mountain View residents are asked to voice opinions as part of the process by completing an online survey or attending a community meeting.
An ordinance addressing the suggestions will be drafted for the council's consideration later this year.
The survey, available on the city's website at mountainview.gov, is open through 5 p.m. Sept. 3. To locate the survey, select "The City is reviewing Animal Ordinance" under the scrolling "News and Events" in the center of the page.
The community meeting is scheduled 7 p.m. Aug. 29 at the Community Center, 201 S. Rengstorff Ave.
Information obtained from the survey and the meeting will be presented to the city council as part of a study session tentatively scheduled Sept. 17.

Amniotic fluid disorder; Polyhydramnios
Hydramniosis a condition that occurs when too much amniotic fluid builds up during pregnancy. It is also called amniotic fluid disorder, or polyhydramnios.
Amniotic fluid is a liquid that surrounds and cushions the fetus (unborn baby) inside the uterus. It comes from the baby's kidneys, and it goes into the uterus from the baby's urine. The fluid is absorbed when the baby swallows it and through breathing motions.
The amount of fluid increases until the 36th week of pregnancy. After that, it slowly decreases. If the fetus makes too much urine or does not swallow enough, amniotic fluid builds up. This causes hydramnios.
Mild hydramnios may not cause any problems. Often, extra fluid that appears during the second trimester returns to normal on its own. Mild hydramnios is more common than severe hydramnios.
Hydramnios may occur in normal pregnancies with more than one baby (twins, triplets, or more).
Severe hydramnios may mean there is a problem with the fetus. If you have severe hydramnios, your health care provider will look for these problems in your fetus:
Many times, the cause of hydramnios is not found.
Mild hydramnios often has no symptoms. But tell your health care provider if you have:
To check for hydramnios, your health care provider will measure your "fundal height" during your prenatal check-ups. Fundal height is the distance from your pubic bone to the top of your uterus. Your health care provider will also check your baby's growth by feeling your uterus through your belly.
Your health care provider will do an ultrasound if he or she thinks you may have hydramnios. This will measure the amount amniotic fluid around your baby.
Doctors may be able to treat the symptoms of hydramnios, but they cannot usually treat what caused it.
Your health care provider may also do tests to find out why you have extra fluid. These might include:
Hydramnios may cause you to go into labor early.
It is easy for a fetus with a lot of fluid around it to flip and turn. This means there is a greater chance of being in a feet-down position ("breech") when it is time to deliver. Breech babies can sometimes be moved into a head-down position, but they often have to be delivered by cesarean section.
You cannot prevent hydramnios. If you have symptoms, tell your health care provider so you can be checked and treated, if needed.

Take Part in "Use Less Stuff Day"
It is time to start a new holiday tradition. The Thursday before Thanksgiving is Use Less Stuff Day. Make a commitment or pledge to yourself to reduce your resource consumption during the holiday season.
Here are a few ideas:
- Don't buy too many groceries or prepare too much food for a holiday gathering. If you do prepare too much, send leftovers home with guests or reheat them the following day for yourself. Try your best not to throw away usable food.
- Use less energy. Turn down the heat before a holiday party. The body heat of guests will keep the room warm, so lower the thermostat a few degrees.
- Have a recycling plan. Set up recycling bins to capture all the wrapping paper, gift boxes, bottles, cans, plastic cups, etc. Inform your guests and make sure they know what items to recycle and where to place them.
- Use fewer disposable paper products and eating utensils. If all your dinnerware, table settings and silverware must be matching sets, rent dinnerware, glassware and silverware for your holiday party. Otherwise, ask guests to bring their own and eliminate paper plates and plastic cups, forks, knives, etc.
- Use cloth napkins that can be washed and reused at your next holiday gathering instead of buying disposable ones and filling the trash can.
Go ahead and make the commitment to use less stuff. Tell your friends and family about Use Less Stuff Day and work toward an environmentally-friendly holiday season without sacrificing the fun and joys all of us look forward to each year.

I am working on a map for a wargame campaign and I need symbols to represent Vauban fortifications that were built around cities in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Anyone know if a symbol set or even just a few .pngs exist for this?
Ideally the symbols would work with a relief map or contour map.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- People crowded into places of worship to find comfort on Sunday. Churches across the country dedicated Sunday service to the Newtown school shooting.
"It is the loss of the children. The lives not lived, the hopes extinguished it is that loss that touched me first. We gather this morning in the aftermath of a national tragedy."
The reverend has given countless sermons on immeasurable loss but this one was different.
"Our continued shared violence directed against children is insane. Enough is enough. We have tolerated school shootings, mall shootings, theater shootings, sniper shootings, work place shootings, temple and church shootings, urban neighborhood shootings far too long. The massacre of these 28 people in Connecticut, is for me, is the last straw. And I believe it's the last straw for you."
In a stunning and rare reaction, the congregation stood up and clapped.
Barbara Madley, mother of a 9 year old, says, "I've never been in a service where it got a standing ovation and call to action."
The reverend was so moved by the tragedy in Newtown that he made it clear about Sunday's service.
He said he was not going to talk around it, but directly about the need for gun control in this country.
"The best way to mourn the Sandy Hook shooting is to mobilize the faith community for gun control. It's time for change. It's gone too far."
Not everyone agrees with the reverend's message of tighter gun laws.
But lawmakers such as Connecticut independent Senator Joe Lieberman on Fox News Sunday is calling for a national commission to look at the gun laws, mental health system and the role that violent video games and movies might play in shootings.
Reverend Hall says, "Today we grieve but soon we act. I don't want to take somebody's hunting rifle, but I can no longer justify living in a society that allows concealed handguns in schools and on the street or allows people other than military or police to buy assault weapons or lets people to get around existing gun laws by selling weapons to buyers without background checks at gun shows. The gun lobby is no match for the cross Lobby."

To start fresh in the world with enough money to go to a good 4 year college all expenses paid with a 50k allowance for 4 years and where you remember everything about your life and everything, but, everyone you know or have known has their memory completely wiped of you ever existing AND you can never see them ever again would you do it?
Edit: Extra twist if you would like. You can see or be in contact with ONE person (still with their memory erased though), but that's it, who would it be or would you even make a choice?

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the package formerly known as biblatex-chicago-notes-df. It works well with the latest version (3.4) of biblatex, but has been most thoroughly tested against 2.9a, so it may be worth trying that version in case you run into issues I haven't seen. The package contains both the 15th- and 16th-edition Chicago style files, though I have marked the 15th-edition styles as "strongly deprecated" and am concentrating all of my development time on the 16th edition. If you have used the package before, then you should be sure to consult the RELEASE file to find out what alterations you may need to make to your .bib files and document preambles to bring them up to date. Most particularly please note that Biber is now required for the author-date styles, and very strongly advised for the notes & bibliography style (version 2.5 is designed for use with the latest biblatex). README (version 0.9.9i, 2016-05-16): Biblatex-chicago contains five biblatex styles implementing the specifications of the Chicago Manual of Style in both its 15th and 16th editions. The "notes & bibliography" style was formerly available in the package biblatex-chicago-notes-df, and is intended primarily for writers in the humanities. I would encourage all users of the 15th edition style to upgrade to the 16th: it contains many new features, and the changes involved, being largely incremental, generally won't require major alterations to your .bib files. The "author-date" style, generally favored by writers in the sciences and social sciences, presents a somewhat different case. The 16th edition of the Manual has brought the presentation of sources in this style much more into line with the notes & bibliography specification, especially regarding the formatting of titles. If you still require titles to be capitalized sentence style, and article titles, for example, not to be enclosed in quotation marks, then you may now use the new, traditional author-date style ("authordate-trad"), which provides these features while in all other respects following the 16th-edition specifications. I encourage all users to upgrade to one of these three up-to-date styles, which should now cater to nearly all needs. The 15th-edition styles will be marked "obsolete" in the next major release, and I shall cease all work on them. If, in the meantime, you wish to continue using them, you'll need to specify "notes15" or "authordate15" in the options when loading biblatex-chicago. This is a beta release, but its feature set is already fairly extensive. If you have used the package before you may, after perusing the RELEASE file, want to look at the changelog at the end of biblatex-chicago.pdf (and/or biblatex-chicago15.pdf), which contain cross-references to more detailed explanations about how this update will affect parts of your .bib file. If you are just getting started, the best way to learn the system is to read the documentation in those same pdf files, which contain both a Quickstart section and a complete reference guide to both notes & bibliography and author-date styles (sections 4 and 5). The package also contains annotated .bib files (notes-test.bib and dates-test.bib) which each offer over 100 entries demonstrating how to present a wide range of sources, nearly all of them taken from the Chicago Manual of Style itself, so that you can compare the output of your system (cms-notes-sample.tex, cms-dates-sample.tex, cms-trad-sample.tex, cms15-notes-sample.tex, cms15-dates-sample.tex) or my system (cms-notes-sample.pdf, cms-dates-sample.pdf, cms-trad-sample.pdf, cms15-notes-sample.pdf, cms15-dates-sample.pdf) with the actual examples in the Manual. I have, wherever possible, attempted to maintain backward compatibility with the standard biblatex styles, but there are a significant number of situations where I have been unable to do so, which means that switching among various styles while using the same bibliography database will not be as simple and painless as it could be. If you can see ways better to preserve this compatibility, or indeed to improve the package in any way whatsoever, please let me know, or better yet, send a patch. As the 16th edition styles are relatively new, now is the time to suggest changes in field or entry-type usage there, before questions of backward compatibility become more pressing. If the styles don't behave as you expect or if you discover a bug, I'd be very happy to hear about it, but do please read biblatex-chicago.pdf first, as you may find that your question has already been answered there. If you do find a bug, please send me the .bib entry, your LaTeX preamble, and your output .log, so that I can try to reproduce it here. My email address is at the head of biblatex-chicago.pdf. Installation: With the recent proliferation of files, I have adopted the directory structure found in biblatex.zip, so if you want to place these files in your TeX directory tree instead of in your working directory, I recommend the following, which should be familiar from the main biblatex package: - The twenty-one files biblatex-chicago.sty, chicago-notes.cbx, chicago-notes.bbx, chicago-authordate.cbx, chicago-authordate.bbx, chicago-authordate-trad.cbx, chicago-authordate-trad.bbx, chicago-notes15.cbx, chicago-notes15.bbx, chicago-authordate15.cbx, chicago-authordate15.bbx, cms-american.lbx, cms-british.lbx, cms-finnish.lbx, cms-french.lbx, cms-german.lbx, cms-icelandic.lbx, cms-ngerman.lbx, cms-norsk.lbx, cms-norwegian.lbx, and cms-nynorsk.lbx are located in the latex/ subdirectory, itself further subdivided into bbx/, cbx/, and lbx/. The entire contents of this latex/ directory, including its subdirectories, can go in <TEXMFLOCAL>/tex/latex/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-chicago, where <TEXMFLOCAL> is the root of your local TeX installation -- for example, and depending on your system, /usr/share/texmf-local, /usr/local/texmf, or C:\Local TeX Files\. You may need to create this directory first, and after copying the files there please remember to update your TeX file name database so that TeX can find them. - The sixteen files biblatex-chicago.tex, biblatex-chicago.pdf, biblatex-chicago15.tex, biblatex-chicago15.pdf cms-notes-sample.tex, cms-dates-sample.tex, cms-trad-sample.tex, cms-notes-sample.pdf, cms-dates.sample.pdf, cms-trad-sample.pdf, cms15-notes-sample.tex, cms15-dates-sample.tex, cms15-notes-sample.pdf, cms15-dates.sample.pdf, notes-test.bib, and dates-test.bib can all be found in the doc/ directory in the package archive, the last 10 in the examples/ subdirectory. You can place all of this in <TEXMFLOCAL>/doc/latex/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-chicago. Changelog: See the RELEASE file, and also the end of biblatex-chicago.pdf (or biblatex-chicago15.pdf).

DETROIT (DETROIT FREE PRESS) -- Billboards advertising the city's upcoming general election sent the wrong message to residents over the weekend.
Many of the 14 billboards gave a September date for the city's general election. The election actually is Nov. 5.
City Clerk Janice Winfrey said the billboards - 11 purchased by the city and three given as a bonus from International Outdoor, which manages the billboards - were updated Saturday with information about the city's general election.
"It's a mistake," Winfrey said Monday. "People make mistakes. International made such. I saw it Saturday. I called them."
She said people are making much ado about nothing regarding the erroneous dates.
Winfrey said she was angry, and "I should be."
"I was paying for it," she said. "They were trying to be, as they usually are, very proactive right after the election to put the new one up. I'm not mad at them. They'll have it changed (Tuesday)."
Randy Oram, president of International Outdoor, acknowledged the error this morning in an e-mail to Winfrey, saying the billboards would be corrected Tuesday morning, barring rain seen in the area throughout the day.
"Our installers cannot work in the rain of any sort," he wrote. "Again, thank you for your understanding."
Fixing errors is nothing new to billboard companies.
Tom Carroll, a vice president with national billboard company CBS Outdoor, said while billboards are fixed often, the size of the error would determine the method for the change. In one case, he said, a worker was sent up to the billboard with a magic marker to add a "dot" that was missing from a website URL. That fix was free of charge, he said.
Some have paid as much as $500 to have an entire billboard redone, he said.

Operate Agency More Efficiently
May 5, 2013
More than one-third of what West Virginia state government spends each year goes through the Department of Health and Human Resource....
Here is an immediate cost savings.
1) Announce to all career welfare wards that, 12 months from today, all welfare, food stamps, free health care and housing subsidies will end. They will receive 12 months assistance in training or education and that is it.
2) Tear down any and all public housing throughout the state or sell it to a private developer.
3) Ban the use of HUD, Section 8, etc. in decent areas and absolutely refuse to provide this sort of funding at the state level.
4) Provide drug, career, skills, job, etc. counseling-at no charge-to those who can work, but refuse to do so.
5) Crack down on workers comp, disability, etc. fraud and put some people in jail for 20 years to send a message.
6) Shut down the pill mill doctors who make massive amounts of cash by writing scrips for narcotics for any*****with greenbacks.

text: Actually the cows attract the bulls when they go into estrus. Once the bull has his herum of cows he will call them back to him with different types of bugles should they get split up. To take advantage, Spend time in the woods with the elk,learn how to call properly if your going to use that strategy. The elk around here are getting very very call savy from many hunters educating them with their attempts at sounding like an elk. That doesn't mean you cant call em in if you know what your doing. I've had way better luck letting the elk call me into them. Once I'm in their circle, i let the situation dictate whether I'm gonna bugle,cow call, or just sneak in for the shot.

New Year, New Beginnings
You can do it!
So, it's time to prepare for another new year—one full of hopes, dreams and promises of a new beginning. If you're like me, your New Year's resolution will be to complete at least one resolution, because in the past, you have found that within a few months, your enthusiasm wanes, and you find reasons to give up it up.
But rather than feel discouraged before you begin, you should prepare yourself and create a plan to successfully—and happily—complete your resolution.
Tips for Success
- Write down and make copies of your resolution
- Match up with an accountability partner to keep each other in check
- Develop a timeline or time-focused goals
- Reward yourself for your accomplishments, large and small
- Don't focus on only the big picture and allow for minor goals and victories
- Allow for some discouragement and cheating; it's normal!
The Resolution
Now that you have recommendations for creating your plan, what will your resolution be? I suggest something that you have thought about throughout the years. This can be creative or mundane, but it should be personalized for you. My old college roommate had the most success with her resolutions, because they fit what she needed: cook one homemade (everything from scratch) meal a month, cut out fried foods, floss every evening. And she fulfilled her resolutions each year. Do what works for you.
Some of the top New Year resolutions we make include:
- Quitting bad habits
- Spending more time with our family
- Getting fit and healthy
- Saving more money
- Organizing our life
- Helping others
Resolution Resources
If you still need guidance, below are some materials that can help you make it work this year:
- This Year I Will: How to Finally Change a Habit, Keep a Resolution, or Make a Dream Come True by M.J. Ryan
- Changeology: Five Steps to Realizing your Goals and Resolutions by John C. Norcross
- Succeed: How We can Reach our Goals by Heidi Grant Halvorson

There's no ignoring the importance and necessity of vegetables in everyone's diets. There's also no denying that kids who aren't raised on vegetables become adults who don't eat vegetables. Therefore, the time to cultivate a habit of regular vegetable eating is in childhood. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends that children get 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. You'd be surprised at how many ways you can get your child to meet his recommended intake. One serving of Earth's Best Sesame Street soup will provide one serving of vegetables in a kid-pleasing way. Offer Earth's Best Tots Juice to get another thirst-quenching organic serving. An Earth's Best Kidz Applesauce Cup is not only a serving of fruit, it's a yummy dessert or snack too.
Here are some other healthy hints on how to make vegetables a regular part of your children's diet:

Fall from grace
Religion | A new documentary on Ted Haggard airs this week on HBO, as additional allegations against the former pastor surface
"Fall from grace" Continued...
As HBO prepares to premiere "The Trials of Ted Haggard," a documentary about the fallout from the former pastor's 2006 sex and drug scandal, new accusations have surfaced. Grant Haas, a former volunteer at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., where Haggard was pastor, revealed earlier this week that Haggard performed a sex act in front of him in a hotel room in 2006 and sent him thousands of explicit text messages.
Haas, who was 22 at the time of the incident, provided KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs documents that showed he was to be paid $179,000 by New Life through this year. Haas claims he is coming forward now because the church did not follow through on promises to pay for his counseling and medical treatment.
"Their main focus was, you know, cover it up, don't say anything," Haas said. "You'll regret it if you come forward."
Haggard, 52, said in a statement released Monday that he met with Haas two years ago-after the first allegations came to light-and asked him "forgiveness for our inappropriate relationship."
Brady Boyd, Haggard's successor as pastor at New Life, called the money the church has given to Haas "compassionate assistance-certainly not hush money."
In a statement, Boyd said, "Our hearts go out to everyone hurt by the inappropriate actions that took place under former Pastor Ted Haggard." A year ago, the church released a statement saying, "[T]he process of restoring Ted Haggard is incomplete and [New Life] maintains its original stance that he should not return to vocational ministry." At that time Haggard was reportedly continuing an "accountability relationship" with Tommy Barnett, senior pastor of Phoenix First Assembly of God in Arizona.
Boyd also suggested that Haas would not have come forward if an HBO documentary on Haggard were not airing this week. On Sunday, Boyd told his congregation, "I'm sorry that this wound has been reopened for many of you."
On Monday, Alexandra Pelosi, director of the HBO documentary that premieres on the cable network Thursday (8 p.m. EST), said she was sorry if that was the case: "But this is what happens when you don't handle things properly at the time. If the church had been 100 percent full disclosure at the time, maybe this wouldn't be a problem now."
Haggard, who also headed the politically powerful National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), initially was embroiled in scandal in late 2006, when Mike Jones, a male escort, accused him of engaging in homosexual sex and using methamphetamines. Haggard, while admitting to an "improper relationship," denied using the drugs or having sex with Jones.
Following his resignations from New Life and the NAE, Haggard and his five children moved through Texas and Arizona, trying to deal with the aftermath of the scandal and to find work. And Pelosi and her cameras were there to chronicle his journey.
Pelosi, who is the daughter of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, had featured Haggard in a 2007 HBO documentary titled "Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi." During filming, which took place just months before the original scandal broke, Pelosi developed a close relationship with Haggard. She, along with her husband, later helped Haggard move and start a new career selling insurance.
Although "The Trials of Ted Haggard" fails to answer any specific questions about Haggard's past behavior, it does follow him through moments of despair and of faith, and it doesn't shy away from telling the story of allegations of homosexual sex and drug use and of his eventual downfall.
It's apparent that Pelosi sees the fallen leader with a sympathetic eye, as a victim of the Church, saying at an event earlier this month, "The people who go to church get told every Sunday, 'We forgive.' He was not forgiven. That, to me, is what is interesting about it."
Haggard's latest accuser has been quoted as saying he wanted to come forward this week because the documentary portrayed Haggard as a victim.
In an interview published by The New York Times, Pelosi said, "My film is not about whether Ted had one indiscretion or 1,000. Clearly he has issues. This film is about what happened to a man and his family after his fall from grace."
One person who was aware of Haggard's struggles long before they became public was his wife. In an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show Wednesday, Gayle Haggard said her husband told her early in their 30-year marriage that he "struggled with some thoughts."
"I felt it was the thing that could destroy Ted if he gave in to it," she said. "So I prayed for him and I felt as though he was winning the battle."
When the scandal broke in 2006, she was shocked by the news: "The first words out of my mouth were, 'Who are you?'"
Joined by his wife and two adult children at an early January press event in Los Angeles, Haggard tried to explain why he was stepping back into the spotlight but refused to directly answer questions about his scandal and sexuality.
"We knew we had to answer the questions," said Haggard, attempting to explain the reason for the documentary. "For the sake of our kids going to school. For the sake of me trying to build a business. And just a message . . . our life message."
Although Haggard would not specifically respond to the allegations of homosexuality and drug use, he did send a message that day to his original accuser: "I apologize to Mike Jones, for the relationship that we developed. I shouldn't have done it, and it was a very bad mistake on my part."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Video: Questions surround acid spill in Bartow
Bartow, Florida -- An accident leading to an sulfuric acid spill shut down a major road in Polk County for several hours Tuesday, and the driver of the truck carrying those corrosive chemicals had to be airlifted to Tampa.
Hazmat workers, wearing protective suits, worked for hours neutralizing and then removing the acid, which had soaked the pavement and penetrated the soil along Highway 60 north of downtown Bartow.

A thousand gallons of the material somehow spilled from a flat-bed operated by Davis Supply out of Ft. Myers with an office in Lake Wales.
Brad Ruhmann, a spokesman for Polk County Fire rescue says the acid, which was highly concentrated, is "very dangerous if you get it on your skin, also can be dangerous if it's inhaled. So it's not a very good thing to be around."
Investigators say just before 6:00 a.m. the driver of the truck had to make a sudden stop. His corrosive cargo shifted, and then spilled onto the busy highway at Rifle Range road.
Four out of the six "pods" of acid, each containing 250 gallons with a potent 93% concentration, should have been secured, say officials, who are still investigating what went wrong.
"For whatever reason, when he stopped, they continued and now we have sulfuric acid in the road and in the median, in the soil," said Ruhmann.
The driver, 37-year-old Eric Garland, was injured when he slipped and fell into the acid.
He was rushed to a nearby firehouse where he was decontaminated and airlifted to Tampa General Hospital with 2nd degree burns on his legs.
Meanwhile, traffic along the busy east-west corridor had to take a 10 mile detour. Several people had no idea where they were going once diverted from the beaten path.
Gerald Morgart, who lives nearby was told to turn around. "That's all it is, is a pain in the butt," he said.
Dave Halsey looked at the detour another way. "Aggravation, especially with what you pay for your gasoline these days," he said.
As for businesses affected by the spill, there's only one in the area. "Camping World" was supposed to be celebrating its grand re-opening on Tuesday. Instead, no customers meant no sales.
Melissa Farrior, a salesperson said it was a paycheck killer.
"Oh yeah, it's dead. We usually have hundreds of cars here throughout the past couple of days, so this is empty," she said.
The cause of the accident and how those containers of acid were able to shift loose is still under investigation.
The company's president, Jim Davis, said he still didn't have much information about the crash, but was told the driver was a worker from their Lake Wales office.
The chemicals, said Davis, are consistent with what you'd see used for pool chemicals. Davis was told the driver was going to be all right, and that the burns were "similar to what you'd see with a bad sunburn."
Earlier Story:
Bartow, Florida -- Hazardous materials crews were still on the scene of a major acid spill along Highway 60 in Polk County at midday Tuesday.
The driver of the truck that was hauling the acid received burns over 10 percent of his body, mostly on his feet and legs.
The closure is at Highway 60 at Rifle Range Road between downtown Bartow and Lake Wales. At noon, officials estimated it would be at least another hour on the eastbound side, as they try to clean up the 1,000 gallons of acid that spilled. However, the closure could last until late this afternoon or early Tuesday night for the westbound lanes.
The accident happened shortly before 6 a.m. when investigators say 37-year-old Eric Garland -- who was driving the truck for Davis Supplies Incorporated out of Ft. Myers -- was apparently forced to stop short at the intersection.
In the back of his truck he was hauling six pods, each containing 250 gallons of sulfuric acid with a 93 percent concentration. Those pods are supposed to be tied down, but apparently they either were not or malfunctioned, said a fire rescue official.
In either case, about a thousand gallons of the highly corrosive acid then leaked onto the road and into the median.
Garland apparently got out of his truck and slipped, falling into the acid.
Fortunately, a firehouse was within just a few hundred feet of the accident, and they were able to de-contaminate the victim quickly. Garland was then airlifted to Tampa General Hospital with second-degree burns on his legs and feet.
Brad Ruhmann with Polk County Fire Rescue says they are using sodium bi-carbonate and baking soda in large amounts to neutralize the acid, and will then safely dispose of the soil which was affected.
There does not appear to be any further environmental consequence.
Traffic from the east and west was being diverted to a 10-mile detour around the spill site.
At Dusty's Camper World, they were forced to shut down Tuesday since no traffic could come through the area.
"This was supposed to be our grand re-opening week," says one worker, who described the parking lot as "packed" on Monday.

SHERWOOD, Ark. (KTHV) -- He could definitely be considered a mover and a shaker. The man known as the Sherwood Sign Guy has taken on quite a following.
His smile will brighten your day, and his dedication to his work will inspire you. Along Highway 107 in Sherwood, a man by the name of Kevin Johnson said he takes pride in shaking his sign and bringing smiles.
"My mom and dad taught me and raised me," he said, giving credit to his parents for his work ethic.
"It's pretty exciting. I have folks blow by. They honk at me and wave. I wave back," he said.
Johnson has become a familiar face to motorists passing by. Nearly every day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., he stands in front of Central Arkansas Mattress with his headphones on and full of plenty of energy. His music keeps him moving.
"I listen to all kinds of music," he explained. "Three Days Grace."
Johnson began shaking signs in 2006 for a pizza company, and then moved across the street, where he said he now promotes his own advertising business along with the mattress store.
"I do birthday advertisements, garage sales and other events," he listed.
He said he does his job with one goal in mind--to make people happy.
"I heard people telling me that I do a great job. That they like seeing me out here every day," he explained. "I bring in business. That they stop because of me."
Johnson said it's the community that keeps him coming back every day, and he's even built a friendship with the mayor of Sherwood.
Kevin said during the hot months he does take frequent breaks. Motorists driving by and the Sherwood Public Works Department make sure he's well hydrated. He says they provide him with water and the occasional Sonic slushy.
Johnson hopes he leaves a legacy of kindness.
"I hope people remember me, like being kind to others," he explained.

Former Montana Representative Pat Williams is breaking his silence this primary election season and endorsing a Democratic candidate.
Williams held Montana's sole U.S. House seat from 1979 to 1997.
Since leaving Congress he's stayed involved in politics but has never formally endorsed a candidate until now.
Thursday, Williams announced he's supporting Democrat John Lewis in the primary election for U.S. House of Representatives seat.
"Members of Congress don't get along well anymore. They did almost the entire time that I was there, nine terms," Williams said. "I think that John Lewis is in a position because he's such a cooperative, friendly, listening guy, to help. Each little bit helps, to help change that in congress and set a new more friendly mood there."
Lewis issued the following statement Thursday:
"Congressman Williams is a champion for Montana's working families, our outdoor heritage and education. I'm humbled to have earned the support of someone who dedicated his life to public service and knew how to bring people together to deliver for Montana. This is another great milestone in the momentum we're gaining among folks statewide who are tired of the dysfunction in Washington and want to see people working together on responsible solutions to reduce our debt, increase jobs and protect Medicare."
In addition to Williams, Lewis has been endorsed by Montana U.S. Senator Jon Tester and Montana Governor Steve Bullock.
Other former Montana politicians are endorsing candidates as well. Former U.S. Senator Conrad Burns endorsed Republican U.S. House candidate Ryan Zinke.
Former U.S. Representative Rick Hill endorsed Republican U.S. House candidate Elsie Arntzen.

It is morally troubling that President Obama is again proposing a Scrooge-like deal to reduce federal spending by cutting benefits to all people on Social Security and Disability. He is proposing to cut Social Security's cost of living allowance (COLA) by using a "Chained CPI" (Consumer Price Index). After 26 years, the average retiree would get $1,080 less per year on this miserly measure. Instead of trying to balance the budget on the backs of our most vulnerable citizens, budget negotiators should put the bloated Pentagon budget on a diet. Many military experts agree that over $1 trillion in pentagon spending reductions can be made without risk to our national security.

* Spring Break and Peep Dioramas
The girls and I are on Spring Break this week.
I'm taking the week off of blogging to hang out with my girls -
so today I'll post my old Peep Dioramas to celebrate Easter.
In 2008, I entered my first Peep Diorama,
"Sesame Peep"
In 2010, I made my favorite
"Goodnight Peep" Diorama.
I donated my dioramas to my daughter's elementary school library.
Last year, in 2011, I made this
"Vincent Van Peep's Starry Night" Diorama
No, I didn't have time to make a diorama this year,
there were too many family obligations and birthday parties
but yes, there will be Peeps in the girls' easter baskets this year!
I'll be back next week...
Happy Spring!

The design and menus of Greeting Card Factory are very user friendly.
Large buttons, simple menus and detailed help menus make it very easy to do your tasks.
There is an easy 3 step project maker which guides you from start to finish.
Or you can choose the advanced photo editor and customise everything yourself.
This version is primarily for printing out cards onto physical media. You can create greeting cards,
certificates, announcements, postcards and several other craft and projects using the templates provided.
There is no option to output digital cards with sounds or animation which is a shame. However, you can still
e-mail cards without the sound/animation, print out cards and produce a photo slide show with background
music and burn it onto a CD-ROM.
As for variety, there is a lot of it. This has over 25,000 different cards and projects, and more
than 92,000 graphics. I am happy to say the majority are very good quality and it is very likely
you will find something to suit your occasion, and something you will like.
If you do get stuck, there is a host of manuals and tutorials to guide you through everything.
The program is simple enough but the makers go one step further and offer phone support too.
Overall this is a very easy to use program which offers a multitude of options to help you
make great looking cards, as well as many other forms of media like postcards, certificates etc.
Well worth it if you would like to start printing out your own cards.

1968 Chevy Chevelle - CPP Saginaw 600 Steering Box UpgradeWritten by Johnny Hunkins on September 23, 2008 Contributors: Lester Scoggins With CPP's Saginaw 600 Steering Box, You Don't Need A Complicated Or Expensive Rack-And-Pinion Conversion To Get Your Chevelle To Rip Turns Like A New Car.
There's no getting around the fact that our muscle cars are antiques. Our minds play tricks on us, recalling our favorite cars and the antics we played as if it happened yesterday. News flash: You aren't a teenager anymore, and your hot rod isn't showroom fresh, either. In those intervening years, your steering box has worn, perhaps even to the point of a dangerous failure. Moreover, ongoing improvements in automotive engineering have made us accustomed to razor-sharp handling in our ordinary commuter cars.
One of the big trends in hot rodding is a conversion from a traditional steering box, to rack-and-pinion steering. The benefits of this include lighter weight, a more compact design, and incremental improvements in steering feel and response. There aren't really any significant downsides to a rack-and-pinion conversion, except for cost (kits typically cost anywhere from $1,200 to $2,700), and in some cases, a reported reduction in turning radius.
The price gap between a rebuilt stock steering system and a rack-and-pinion conversion is huge, and this has allowed a lot of products to filter nicely in between. Of course, Detroit automakers and their suppliers-such as Delphi-haven't exactly given up on the tried-and-true recirculating-ball steering box. Current production trucks still use modern variants of the steering boxes that were originally used in the 1960s and '70s. And as anyone who's driven one of Detroit's modern trucks can attest, they aren't the numb-feeling slouches they once were, and it's all because of the cumulative improvement employed in today's steering boxes.
The Delphi Saginaw 600 Series box is one such animal, and is a popular upgrade sold by many companies filling the void mentioned above. The Saginaw 600 box is far more durable, and stronger than the OEM Saginaw 800 box found in cars like our 1968 Chevelle. It's also 5 pounds lighter, and has a performance-oriented 12.7:1 steering ratio that gives it the same rapid steering input of current rack-and-pinion systems. Most Saginaw 600 boxes are brand new (such as ours), and have a tight, crisp feel only available from a new piece of hardware. That's perhaps the biggest reason the Saginaw 600 is the steering gear of choice in NASCAR race cars. Lastly, it bolts right in-if you order the right accessories.
That last one's the rub, because you could be in for one heck of a trial-and-error session if you're not up on the 600's technical attributes. If you're like us, you aren't familiar with the requirements to make a successful Saginaw 600 upgrade to a '64-72 GM A-body (Chevelle, Cutlass, Tempest/LeMans, Skylark). That's where the folks at Classic Performance Parts (CPP) come into the picture. They offer the Delphi Saginaw 600 box as an outright, standalone purchase ($399), but they have also developed all the pieces and bits you need for a successful, first-try conversion. We've been down the road of cobbling together the necessary fittings, U-joints, shafts, and fluid lines, so it was a welcome change to have the clear path laid out for us by CPP, who have already been down that road.
The tale of the tape is that we spent a total of $591. That netted us the Saginaw 600 box and all the associated pieces we needed for a trouble-free, half-day installation. On the performance side, we got a vastly improved steering feel that can go nearly toe to toe with a modern rack-and-pinion conversion for anywhere between one quarter to one half the price of a rack-and-pinion conversion. For us, it was the right trade-off for our mostly street-oriented Chevelle project car. Now it's your turn!

Our starting point is this engine bay photo showing the stock steering shaft and factory Saginaw 800-series 16:1 steering box. Note the wear marks on the stock shaft where it touches the headers. This is virtually impossible to avoid on big-block Chevelles with stock steering shafts. There was no better time to fix this, as it was causing a bad vibration in the steering wheel.Use a pitman arm puller to remove the arm from the tapered splines on the old Saginaw 800 steering box. Remove the old steering shaft from the car, disconnect the fluid lines, and unbolt the old box.Double-check that the pitman arm is centered properly, then use an impact gun to seat the pitman arm onto the tapered shaft.The original Saginaw 800 box has 37.5- degree SAE double-flared compression fittings that are incompatible with the metric-style O-ring fittings of the late-model Saginaw 600 box. In the past, some suppliers have required the use of a conical flare seat adapter, which is tricky, and can lead to leaks. CPP makes these screw-in adapter fittings (PN 605SOL) that allow you to connect your existing high-pressure and return fluid lines to your power steering pump without drama.Your feed and return lines just wrench right on with a 5/8-inch tubing wrench. In the past, the incompatibility of the older flared compression-type fittings and newer metric O-ring fittings has been a big obstacle to a late-model steering box upgrade.The newer Saginaw 600 box has a 30-spline 3/4-inch input shaft; the original was a 36-spline 13/16-inch shaft, and the rag joints are not compatible. The new CPP rag joint (PN RJC-730R) makes the conversion a snap, and goes on with a 3/8-inch socket wrench.You can tighten the CPP Max Clearance shaft to the rag joint coupler by tightening the set screw into the flat of the "D" section, but the safest thing is to mark the position of the set screw, and drill a recessed locking hole for the set screw to mate with.After marking the location of the set screw lock hole in the flat of the "D" section, drill it out carefully. CPP does not predrill the set hole-or the corresponding safety groove in the following photos-due to small variances in each car. These photos do not show it, but you will need to mock up, mark, and double-check the location of these mods at least once.
Here's the mark we made on the top of the Max Clearance shaft where it enters the new U-joint at the steering column. The marker represents where we'll grind a channel for the pinch bolt, which doubles as a safety lock in the groove we're going to make. The U-joint replaces the 40-year-old unit on our original steering shaft, and is a tight, precision piece of hardware.Now's the time to attach the Max Clearance shaft to the U-joint and steering coupler. Before tightening anything, check the phasing of your steering, the position of your steering wheel, and the position of your wheels. Tighten everything, then double-check your work. If you've done everything right, you may get extremely lucky and not need an alignment to tweak the toe-in or steering wheel angle, but that's not likely.Wow! Look at all that extra header clearance we picked up. Too bad we didn't do this before we hammered on our 1 7/8-inch Stainless Works headers. Actually, we could probably afford the clearance to step up to some 2-inch headers now. Now all that's left to do is top off the power steering pump with some fluid and get that alignment done.

Students at Poplar Springs Elementary School have been collecting gifts for needy kids. They got to give away those gifts Wednesday.
Wesley House has been receiving gifts from parents and students through PSE's Annual Giving Feast for the past twenty-seven years.
The children entertained the other students and parents with singing and the playing of musical instruments.
"It's just a small way that our students can learn that there's a little more to life than reading, writing and arithmetic, which are very important, but the spirit of giving is even more so," said principal, Lavonda Germany.
Over five hundred students attend Poplar Springs Elementary. Thousands of dollars worth of toys were sent to the Wesley House.

Karma's not been kind to WVU's Alston
MORGANTOWN - Shawne Alston doesn't quite know what it was, but he's apparently paying for something that he's done somewhere along the line.
"I just keep think it was karma,'' Alston said. "I probably did something bad one day in my life or something like that. I don't know.''
The thought of bad karma of whatever it might be has occasionally crept into the West Virginia running back's mind over the course of the last 71/2 weeks. That's how long it's been since he suffered an injury to his right thigh in the Mountaineers' second game of the season.
That injury by itself wouldn't be all that unusual, even if the injury itself seems to be. After all, college football players get hurt. A lot.
But Alston seems to have shouldered more than his share. He had knee and leg injuries as a freshman and sophomore. He injured his neck in a traffic accident that limited him greatly last season as a junior.
Then, after overcoming all that, he finally began to show what a healthy Shawne Alston could do this year as a senior. In West Virginia's first game, against Marshall, he was a bulldozer, running 16 times for 123 yards and dragging would-be tacklers all over Mountaineer Field.
But just as he began to finally feel good about what he was able to show people, it happened again. He took a shot that running backs take. At first he thought nothing of it, but it was different.
"I was able to play through it. It was the first quarter of the JMU game. The score was still 0-0 when it happened,'' Alston said. "I caught a shot there and it just got worse and worse as the game went on. I wasn't able to move my leg or have any knee drive or anything like that.''
The diagnosis was a deep thigh bruise.
"I know what people think of a bruise. I've played with little contusions in my thigh. Running backs get those,'' Alston said. "It was just something way worse than what everybody thought it was.''
It was bad enough that twice he saw specialists and was anesthetized while they drained blood from his leg.
"It was a deep tissue bruise that was down by the bone and my body couldn't absorb all the blood,'' Alston said. "So I had to get a couple of procedures done to help it out. Then some calcification started to form. It was just different obstacles that kept coming up.
"It was a hassle trying to get my motion back and get the strength back in my leg. I still don't have the strength I had.''
All the while, the rumors swirled. Alston heard them. He was soft. He had off-the-field issues. He was a discipline problem.
Shoot, he even heard some so funny that he put them out on his Twitter account.
"I have a sense of humor,'' he said. "It was funny.''
Alston essentially hadn't played since that JMU game. He dressed for the next week's game against Maryland and was in on a play or two, but didn't carry the ball. Finally, he got back on the field last Saturday when WVU played TCU. He carried seven times for 16 yards and scored a touchdown.
But he's still not really back.
"Presence, good. Mentality, good. Health, not good,'' coach Dana Holgorsen said of Alston now. "He's a different guy now than he was the first couple of games. He was more healthy than he was the two weeks prior to that, which is why he suited up [against TCU]. He'll continue to rehab and continue to work through it and practice more, but he didn't look the same, and that's why we didn't play him much.''
"I don't feel like I did going into the Marshall game,'' Alston said. "But every day is a work in progress to get it stronger and get it better. I'm still working.''
West Virginia's offense is certainly better with a healthy Alston on the field. Andrew Buie has filled in capably and even had a monster of a game at Texas with 207 yards. Dustin Garrison is improving each week after offseason knee surgery.
But those two smaller backs need more help gaining yards than Alston. Against Marshall he was moving the ball at times without much blocking. Nothing against those other two, but there's a reason he was the clear-cut leader at tailback going into the season.
Whether he ever regains that form, though, seems to be in doubt. It's not to Alston, because he has confidence. But he also knows how bad it was and what he's coming back from.
"It's like a buildup of pressure in your leg. I couldn't bend it back or kick it up at all,'' Alston said. "I had pain walking around. I couldn't really get up stairs. I had to turn sideways and use railings to help me up.''
Along with all the rumors surrounding his status, there was also talk about Alston perhaps just cashing it in this season and taking the redshirt year he didn't take as a freshman. He was under the limit of games when he went out. But that's no longer an option after he played against TCU, and that's just fine with him.
"If they had come to me then maybe it would have been something we could have talked about,'' said Alston, who already has his degree. "But I think everybody just agreed that if I kept working hard I'd be able to come back.''
And finally he is, although not at 100 percent. He estimates he's perhaps 70 percent of what he was at the start of the season. But he still thinks it's possible to get all the way back.
"My treatment regimen is crazy right now. I'm always in there,'' Alston said. "They put up a picture of me in there one day I was in there so much.
"I still have a little bit of lingering effects, but most of those are starting to go away. It's just the issue of getting the strength back and getting the mobility back.''
And erasing whatever karma lingers.

Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jrg3boys Why didn't I buy this years ago? We purchased a large bolstered bed for our Golden Retriever 9 years ago. He loves it. He is so happy in his bed. Every night we bring it upstairs for him to stay in our bedroom, and every morning we bring it back down to his spot in the family room. As he's gotten older, he sometimes prefers to stay downstairs. After a few weeks of watching him stay in the empty spot where his bed belongs in the family room, we decided to buy a second one. He loved it immediately. It's attractive, supportive of his back and I wish we'd purchased it for him years ago. February 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by CiaoBella Where's the Filling? When we opened the box, and started the simple assembly of this bed, my husband asked me twice, "Where is the stuffing(filling) for the bed?" I told him I had given it to him, and he said "No, that's imposible, this little bag is not enough, there must be more." Well, there was no more, and after we put the bed together it looked like a deflated balloon. Seriously- the photo shown with the golden retriever on the red bed, all super fluffy and stuffed to the brim- is totally false. 100% innaccurate. The cover is all sagged and wrinkled due to the fact that there is not enough filling in the bed. We bought the medium 42" sage bed for our 70 pound, 10 month old Labrador. He fits it fine with lots of room to spare. The large would have been waaaay to big. Note- bed is olive green and dark- not sage green. So, since the inner part of the bed has a zipper, we are going to find suitable soft materials to "stuff" the bed..since it does not give our dog the cushioning he needs. I'm actually surprised at how completely misleading that photo is- the bed looks nothing like that, not even close. It looks like a flat pancake. June 29, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by floridaboy2013 Poor choice The first one arrived with the incorrect filling. The second one ,impossible to assemble. no way all that filling was going to fit. Gave up and threw it out. It was impossible to return with no way to fit back in the box. Avoid this Bed. October 19, 2013

Oklahoma State basketball: No. 9 Kansas holds off No. 14 Cowboys in double OT
STILLWATER – Missed opportunities. Missing players. Missed free throws.
All that doomed Oklahoma State Wednesday night in a 68-67 double overtime loss to Kansas before a wild sold out crowd at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The No. 9 Jayhawks, proving they aren't ready to abdicate their Big 12 throne just yet, got a running jumper from reserve guard Naadir Tharpe – their only field goal in either overtime – for the game-winner with 16.5 seconds remaining.
With no time outs remaining, the Cowboys hustled down court and got Markel Brown an open look, but his 18-foot jumper was off the mark, allowing KU to escape a battle befitting two of the top defensive teams in the country.
With the win, KU improved to 10-3 in the Big 12 – tied with Kansas State atop the league standings – and 22-4 overall.
No. 14 Oklahoma State, seeing its seven-game winning streak snapped, fell to 19-6 and 9-4, one game off the pace for the conference lead.
By game's end, the Cowboys were without starts Marcus Smart and Michael Cobbins, who both fouled out in the second overtime. Smart left at the 2:24 mark, whistled for his fifth foul on a charge with the Cowboys leading 65-64.
"It was definitely difficult (to watch)," Smart said. "I felt like I left my teammates down. I wish I was out there with them to help them out and contribute in a way that I usually do. Unfortunately, that didn't work out this time."
Still, OSU managed to hold a lead in the final minute, when Brown drilled a jumper to send the Cowboys in front 67-66 with :47.6 showing. But Tharpe, who had made just 1 of 10 shots previously, slashed into the lane and threw in his floating shot moments later, despite solid defense from OSU's Phil Forte.
"Tonight, he couldn't get the ball in the basket," KU coach Bill Self said of Tharpe, who was running the offense Elijah Johnson, who fouled out. "He has actually improved his floater shot, but the one shot he made, if I'm not mistaken, was a hard, twisting layup. We didn't really have any offense, though. Neither team had any offense.
"He certainly made a huge play there late. Biggest play of his life, I'm sure."
Travis Releford led the Jayhawks with 18 points, while Jeff Withey added 17 in the win.
Brown led the Cowboys with 20 points. Marcus Smart, who fouled out on a charging call in the second overtime, added 18 for Oklahoma State.
The Cowboys had a chance to win at the end of regulation, but Smart's fadeaway 16-footer was short and off the rim.
Smart had scored six of Oklahoma State's final eight points in regulation, helping the Cowboys overcome a 57-53 deficit at the 1:48 mark. The Jayhawks didn't score again until the first overtime, as the team's went to the extra period tied at 57-57.
And they were tied still after one overtime, although Smart had another final shot, this one from 75 feet, that glanced off the front of the rim.
Before Tharpe's floater, KU's other nine points came at the foul line in the two extra periods.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys missed five free throws in the two overtimes and finished 21-of-31 overall from the line.
"Foul shooting was probably the difference in overtime," Ford said. "Seemed like every time I turned around they were on the foul line. And we didn't make ours. They made theirs down the stretch. That made a big difference."
The Cowboys beat the Jayhawks in Lawrence, 85-80, back on Feb. 2 in the highlight moment of their seven-game winning streak. Oklahoma State jumped out to a big early lead, fell behind late, then made key plays down the stretch in that one, ending KU's 33-game home winning streak.
Defense dominated the first eight minutes of the game, with the two teams combining to shoot 7-of-27 from the floor.
With that tone set, the half played out in scuffling fashion, with both teams not reaching double digits until the 10:16 mark, when Le'Bryan Nash scored on a slashing layup to put the Cowboys up 11-10.
The teams rolled into halftime tied, 26-26, each lugging ugly offensive numbers.
The Jayhawks shot 39.3 percent (11-of-28) from the floor and 44.4 percent (4-of-9) from the foul line, with eight turnovers. Oklahoma State was at 29 percent (9-of-31) from the field, including 1-of-10 on 3-point tries.
Now the Cowboys face their first major adversity since losing at Baylor on Jan. 21, with a road trip to West Virginia next on Saturday.
"It's about maturity," Cobbins said. "You can't just sit and sulk about it, but you don't want to forget about it either. Let it be in the back of your mind to fuel you for the next game. I believe my team is mature enough to do that, so get ready for the next one."

BOSTON -- A settlement in a Massachusetts lawsuit by four sisters who say their breast cancer was caused by a drug their mother took during pregnancy in the 1950s is being praised by other women who have brought scores of similar claims.
Eli Lilly reached an undisclosed financial settlement Wednesday in a case brought by the Melnick sisters. They believe their breast cancer was caused by a synthetic estrogen known as DES, which was prescribed to millions of women to prevent miscarriages.
The sisters' case was the first to go to trial out of dozens filed nationwide.
Eli Lilly says it believes its medication "did not cause the conditions alleged in this lawsuit," but the settlement was in its best interest.
Irene Sawyer, of Columbus, Ohio, calls the settlement a "huge victory."

My very best bloggy buddy, Terry from These Peas Taste Funny, and I are going to be Co-hosting a new linky party. That's right starting on January 5th we will start the "Link It Up Thursday" party. The party will be open from Thursday to Sunday.

"We really loved the elopement announcements we picked out. They are really sweet. Had them done in purple - love the color purple."
"My husband and I had a number of people comment on how cute and lovely our card was. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and remarked on how different it was. Nice product."
"These cards came out BEAUTIFUL! - I went with the pearl white shimmer and the paper has such a great texture, also nice and thick. - I also customized this and the Divas helped me with anything I needed. The proof was great and made sure that the writing was visible over the photograph. - I've talked to their live chat several times, they are very helpful. - I also price checked like crazy before ordering, and I felt they beat everyone with the price and quality. I will be using these guys again!"
"I had a super small, very spur of the moment wedding. As a result none of my out of state family were able to attend. So we used these to break the news; we slipped them in everyone's holiday cards. They were a huge hit! My family adored them!! Inserting the photos was super easy and I was even able to "fix" some of them by zooming to make the clarity better. The best part for me though was the super fast shipping. I ordered on Friday night and they arrived early Monday. Now I did pay for super expedited shipping, but they arrived a day early. I am definitely ordering more and would highly recommend!!!!"
"My order had to be re-done due to a printing issue and the reprints were delivered within 2 days. Excellent customer service with respect to the proof and the actual product."
