More About:
Strong Chinese demand
The primary reason for the forecast of large U.S. soybean exports in the face of record competition from South American supplies is the strength of Chinese demand. The USDA estimates show that China imported fewer than one billion bushels of soybeans from all origins as recently as the 2004-05 marketing year. Those estimates show larger imports each year since then, reaching 2.2 billion bushels during the 2012-13 U.S. marketing year.
Chinese imports during the current marketing year are projected at 2.535 billion bushels. China accounted for 63 percent of total world soybean imports during both the 2011-12 and 2012-13 marketing years. That share is projected at 66 percent for the current year
China imported 864 million bushels of U.S. soybeans during the 2011-12 marketing year and 791 million bushels during the 2012-13 marketing year. Exports to China accounted for 63 percent and 60 percent of total U.S. soybean exports in those two years, respectively.
Large soybean imports by China have been the result of the combination of declining production and increasing consumption.
Chinese production totaled an estimated 639 million bushels in 2004 and only 448 million bushels in 2013. China consumed an estimated 1.583 billion bushels of soybeans during the 2004-05 marketing year and consumption during the current marketing year is forecast at 2.921billion bushels. Chinese consumption of soybean meal this year is forecast to be 126 percent larger than in 2004-05 while consumption of soybean oil is expected to be 89 percent larger.
Sales of U.S. soybeans for export during the 2013-14 marketing year have been extremely large. As of Dec. 5, the USDA reported sales for the year that began on Sept. 1, 2013 at 1.421 billion bushels, with nearly half of that total already shipped.
Additional large sales under the daily reporting system have been reported since Dec. 5 and will show up in subsequent weekly summaries.
Sales account for just over 96 percent of the USDA's projection of exports for the year ending August 31, 2014.

You've probably seen the TV ads for Samsung's new Galaxy Gear line, where people can, among other things, talk into their Galaxy Gear wrist watch.
I tested a Samsung Galaxy Gear watch along with an AT&T Wireless Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and it does make one feel like being in a James Bond movie, a "Get Smart" TV show or a futuristic science fiction flick. Plus, you can do much more than talk on the phone with a Galaxy Gear watch.
Before you can use the watch, you need to pair it with a compatible Samsung phone. Make sure the phone is turned on and it has NFC enabled. Then, remove the watch's charging cradle from its packaging and gently tap the back of the cradle to the back of the phone. This will launch an installation routine on the Galaxy phone. You'll need to allow the installation on the phone and agree to its terms.
Once the watch and phone talk to each other, you can easily manage the watch from the phone's Galaxy Gear app. The watch comes with an array of capabilities preinstalled, including voice calls, Samsung's S Voice personal assistant, 1.9 MP picture taking, a pedometer and a display of current weather conditions. You can read messages, view your calendar and access your phone's contacts list.
In the Galaxy Gear phone app, under Notifications, you can set the watch to show when you have new emails. You can even look through the email list on the watch and read messages, minus graphics.
You can make phone calls using a numeric keypad on the watch's 1.63" Super AMOLED screen, or you can dial someone in your contacts list. Those with large fingers or long fingernails may have a bit of trouble pressing the onscreen number buttons. If you have problems with the buttons, you can use S Voice to make calls instead.
Due to the location of the camera lens, taking photos involves some practice. Once you get the hang of it, you can take decent quality pictures, which then automatically sync to the Galaxy phone.
To install additional apps, which happens on the Galaxy phone rather than on the watch itself, you'll need to have or create a free account with Samsung's app store. Some of the apps you'll find there include options for checking social media accounts or viewing CNN news headlines.
Using the watch does require you to have the phone positioned somewhere in the vicinity. I couldn't go the entire 50 feet that some reviewers achieved, but it's still pretty neat to have a phone in one room and use the watch in another room. The distance likely depends on the number and thickness of the walls and floors separating the watch from the phone.
Somewhat larger than a standard men's digital watch, the Galaxy Gear watch looks a lot like a regular watch from a distance, but it may look clunky and feel uncomfortable on someone with small hands or slender wrists.
The Galaxy Gear watch's battery lasts an impressive amount of time - several days with light usage. However, charging the watch seems a bit cumbersome, requiring that the watch snap into a small charging station rather than simply plugging in a cable.
The Galaxy Gear watch comes in black, yellow, white and orange colors, costs $199 to $299 (depending on color) from AT&T Wireless with a two-year contract and requires a compatible phone. You can pair it with a Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note II GoPhone, Galaxy S III or Galaxy Mega, along with the upcoming Galaxy S5.

New Berlin Eisenhower advances past Whitnall
For a high school basketball player, or most basketball players for that matter, 23 points is not a below-average night. When you're New Berlin Eisenhower junior Reed Timmer, there's a different set of standards.
As the top-seeded Lions (21-3) ousted the visiting Whitnall Falcons, 61-51, on Saturday night, Timmer was just shy of his season average 25 points per game. But it was enough for top-seeded Eisenhower to move on to sectionals, albeit after a fierce fight from the No. 5 Whitnall Falcons.
One night after surviving a 57-55 scare from Waukesha North, the Lions withstood a far tighter contest than their 80-62 win over Whitnall on Jan. 11. For their efforts, the Lions move on to the WIAA Division 2 sectional at Greenfield, where they'll face No. 2-seeded Catholic Memorial (18-6) on Thursday night.
"It's team offense, it's team defense," New Berlin Eisenhower head coach Dave Scheidegger said. "Everybody's got to play their role and be accountable for what they're supposed to do. I think we've grown a lot since the beginning of the season in terms of players understanding their role."
Both teams put on an impressive shooting display, combining for 15 3-pointers. Whitnall made eight, including four from senior guard Mitch Brault, and Ike connected on seven, with senior guard Corbin Messman also hitting four behind the arc.» Read Full Article
Key's heroics come against old coach
For most of the first half on Friday night, West Allis Central sophomore guard Brandon Key was definitely out of his comfort zone.
Central was playing against defensive-minded, methodical Oak Creek in a WIAA Division 1 regional semifinal game, and the slow pace - as indicated by the 16-12 halftime lead for the Knights - was not to his liking.
"I'm used to a faster tempo," Key said, "and we started off slowly. The tempo was too slow for me, I like playing fast, and I had to adjust."
Central head coach David Mlachnik had a few words with Key at halftime.
"He was kind of frustrated in that first half," Mlachnik said. "I told Brandon at half, 'This is a game where you have to be mentally tough. Be patient; understand that you're not going to get a lot of touches, you're not going to get a lot of opportunities.» Read Full Article
Weymier plays hero as Whitnall edges Bay View in thriller
Danny Weymier was not about to let his senior season of Whitnall boys basketball end this early.
Weymier hit the go-ahead layup with 13 seconds left, had a steal on the ensuing Bay View possession and hit the front-end of a 1-and-1 as No. 5-seeded Whitnall earned a 75-73 win over No. 4-seeded Milwaukee Bay View in a WIAA Division 2 regional semifinal Friday night.
"At the four-minute mark (Whitnall) coach (Steve Kujawa) brought us in and said, 'Do you want your season to be over now or are you going to do something about it?'" said Weymier, who finished with a game-high 32 points, his third-straight game breaking the 30-point threshold. "I didn't see much (on the last drive). The last few times in I was actually expecting a call."
The Falcons (15-7) earn another shot at top-seeded New Berlin Eisenhower on Saturday.
Kujawa drew up the possession for Weymier, who helped bring the Falcons back from double-digit deficits in the second and fourth quarters.» Read Full Article
West Allis leaders to discuss hiring director of public safety as city faces vacancies at police, fire chief
In a week, West Allis will not have a police chief or a fire chief.
In a letter dated Wednesday, Fire Chief Steven Hook announced his plans to retire Feb. 28.
Over at the Police Department, Charles Padgett has been interim chief since the retirement of chief Michael Jungbluth at the end of 2012. The Police and Fire Commission thought it had the police chief job nailed down with the appointment of Rick Balistrieri last week. But he suddenly withdrew his acceptance after he didn't get unanimous approval by the commission. The Common Council was made aware of his withdrawal Tuesday morning.
Because the city will soon have no chiefs, the Police and Fire Commission will meet with the Common Council on whether to combine those positions into one director of public safety.
Some aldermen expressed the view that the Fire Department has too many chiefs, so the Common Council asked to discuss the possibility of a combined police and fire director, said Joseph Kempen, Police and Fire Commission president. At a combined meeting that could take place the week of March 4, commissioners and aldermen will discuss the pros and cons of a joint position and what it would look like.» Read Full Article
West Allis man dies after shooting Adams County deputy
A West Allis man who shot an Adams County sheriff's deputy before shooting himself died from his injuries Wednesday evening, the Adams County sheriff's office said.
Thomas Costigan, 55, shot Deputy Todd Johnson, 43, about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday when Johnson and another deputy went to a house in the Town of Big Flats in search of Costigan's 52-year-old wife, the sheriff's office said. The woman's name was not released.
West Allis police had notified Adams County authorities that the woman, who had a no-contact order against Costigan, was reported missing and that she might be with him in Adams County.
Sheriff Sam Wollin said the suspect fired several shots at the deputies, wounding Johnson before shooting himself.
Wollin said the deputies did not return fire.» Read Full Article
Meyer's Family Restaurant to pay workers back pay after Labor Department probe
Meyer's Family Restaurant in Greenfield has agreed to pay $116,102 in back wages to 38 employees after an investigation disclosed violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the U.S. Department of Labor said Wednesday.
The probe, conducted primarily in Spanish by bilingual investigators from the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division, determined that the restaurant failed to compensate workers with overtime pay at time and one-half their regular rates of pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a week, as required by federal law, officials said.
The company also failed to record all hours worked by employees, paid cash for some hours and kept no record of those hours worked, the cash payments made, or the tips received, according to the Labor Department.
"Food service workers often work long hours in physically demanding occupations. These workers deserve to be paid properly," Theresa Walls, director of the Wage and Hour Division's Minneapolis district office, said in a statement announcing the agreement. "The resolution of this case should remind employers that the department will not hesitate to investigate if they deny workers their rightful pay. We are committed to protecting the many vulnerable workers employed in the restaurant industry and will vigorously pursue violators to ensure compliance with the law."
In an interview Wednesday, owner Larry Meyer said the restaurant now is in compliance.» Read Full Article
Dr. Dawg to open restaurant at former Hooters in Greenfield
Chicago-style hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches will be on the menu at a new restaurant opening by April 1 at the former Hooters restaurant on Layton Ave.
It will be the second Dr. Dawg eatery in the Milwaukee area, with the first one in Glendale.
The Dr. Dawg concept was developed in 2009 by David Ross, former president of Burger Boat Co. He and his wife, Katie, opened a restaurant in Manitowoc but have since closed that location.
It was too small of a market, David Ross said.
Ross said he is completely gutting the former Hooters restaurant, at 7700 W. Layton Ave., and is installing a new kitchen, dining area and bathrooms.» Read Full Article
West Allis cans trash cart talk for now
A proposal to require all West Allis residents to buy a city trash cart to combat a growing rat problem in parts of the city, and to beautify it, was delayed by the Public Works Committee on Tuesday so that more information can be gathered.
Among other things, the committee wants to know if there is enough of a problem to warrant the requirement. The committee will likely take the matter up March 11.
About 65 percent of residents already have city carts, said Alderman Vincent Vitale, who proposed requiring the remaining 35 percent to buy them also. Not only are rats becoming amore of a problem in some eastern sections of the city, but the trash cans blow around and sometimes make it hard to get through alleys, he noted.
A 60-gallon cart would cost about $40 and a 90-gallon cart $45, he said, and residents would have two years to purchase them. The city might even be able to buy them in bulk and get a better deal for residents, Vitale said.

A federal appeals court has dismissed a civil lawsuit brought by six men formerly held at Guantánamo who were wrongly detained and abused after they had been found not to be "enemy combatants". The suit, one of the last remaining Guantánamo damages suits, was brought against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other military officials for the torture, religious abuse and other mistreatment of plaintiffs.
In dismissing their claims, the court said that the torture and religious humiliation these men endured—even after being cleared for release by the military—were a consequence of the military's need to maintain an orderly detention environment and appeared to be standard for all military detainees in Guantanamo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. We speak with Shayana Kadidal, managing attorney of the Guantanamo Project at the Center for Constitutional Rights.

A federal judge has ordered the US government to produce thirty-four videotapes showing Guantanamo prisoner Abu Wa'el Diab being violently dragged from his cell and force-fed. It's an ordeal Mr. Diab, who was cleared for release in 2009, has been forced to endure an average of three times a week for the past year. Last week lawyers representing Diab learned of the existence of a substantial number of videotapes showing the "forcible cell extractions" and force feedings. On May 13th they filed an emergency motion demanding that the tapes be preserved and turned over to them.
We speak with Jon Eisenberg, a lawyer from Oakland, California working with the London based human rights organization Reprieve, who is representing Diab.

An anonymous same sex couple this week filed a lawsuit in the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to win the right to be married in Mexico. They had attempted to register their marriage in their home state but their application was reject. For one of the two, marriage could literally be the difference between life and death.
Same sex marriage is legal in Mexico City, where it was passed by the city council. That law was upheld by the Mexican Supreme Court, which later ruled that all Mexican states must recognize same sex marriages legally performed in Mexico City. But it did not rule that the states had to allow marriages to be performed in their jurisdictions.
We speak with Hunter Carter, a commercial litigator and prominent human rights lawyer in the New York office of Arent Fox, who is representing the couple pro bono.

In the weeks following the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks hundreds of Muslim immigrants were rounded up and detained in New York and New Jersey for minor immigration infractions. But they were held by the FBI as "suspected terrorists" in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City. There they were denied communication, routinely strip searched and subject to sleep depravation and other abuses until they were cleared of any links to terrorism and deported. But other than their race and religion the government had no reason to suspect them of being linked to terrorism.
In 2002 lawyers filed a federal lawsuit seeking to hold accountable those who had ordered the sweeps, approved the conditions of confinement, and abused the men while in detention. The defendants include high Bush Administration officials as well as guards and officials at the detention center.
On Thursday the lawyers were back in court for yet another hearing on the latest round of appeals in a case that is still far from over. We speak with Rachel Meeropol, a senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights.

On Tuesday the US Supreme Court overturned a district court ruling that had blocked enforcement of the Environmental Protection Agency's 2011 Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. The ruling is a major victory in the Obama administration's efforts to rein in emissions from coal-fired power plants. The rule will require the polluting states to cut emissions not only in proportion to the amount of pollutants they put in the air, but also in relation to the efficiency of their efforts. The more cost effective their pollution controls are, the more pollution they'll be required to cut. We speak with Howard Fox, an attorney with Earthjustice and one of those who argue the case in the court.

As military posturing and tensions increase in Eastern Europe, Ukraine's nuclear reactors could become deadly targets in the growing hostilities. Saturday, April 26th, is the twenty-eighth anniversary of the explosion and fire at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power plant in Ukraine. The site of the reactor is still surrounded by a one thousand square mile "exclusion zone" where radioactive contamination from fallout is highest and public access is restricted. But while accidents and natural disasters have caused nuclear catastrophes, in times of war reactors become potential weapons. We speak with Kevin Kamps, radioactive waste watchdog at Beyond Nuclear.

Civil rights and drug policy reform organizations have filed an amicus brief asking the Louisiana State Supreme Court to review the extraordinarily harsh prison sentence imposed on Bernard Noble. Noble was arrested for having three grams of marijuana, about enough to roll two cigarettes. The trial judge had sentenced him to five years in prison. But because Noble had two other, minor, nonviolent drug possession charges on his record his sentence was ultimately increased to thirteen and a third years at hard labor with no chance of parole.

CINCINNATI – A concealed carry organization filed a lawsuit against The Ohio State University for its code of conduct that bans students from keeping guns in their vehicles on campus.
The organization Students for Concealed Carry filed the suit against OSU because of the university's Student Code of Conduct that prohibits "storage or possession of dangerous weapons" on campus, "even if otherwise permitted by law."
According to the Concealed Carry Laws and License Application, it is forbidden to carry concealed handguns on Universities "unless locked in a motor vehicle or in the process of being locked in a motor vehicle."
The code of conduct prohibits the ability to store weapons in locked motor vehicles, or carrying a concealed weapon when participating in off-campus university activities.
Students for Concealed Carry, joined by Ohioans for Concealed Carry, believe that OSU's campus gun ban "unlawfully infringes on fundamental Constitutional Rights" as stated in a press release.
Derek A. DeBrosse, Columbus attorney representing the groups in the case, spoke to The Columbus Dispatch about the case.
"In a nutshell, the thrust of this case was the state of Ohio said, 'We're the only ones that can regulate firearms,' " DeBrosse said. "What they've done is like a roundabout. Through the code of student regulations, they've violated state law."
Commenting to the Dispatch, OSU officials didn't comment on the legal particulars of the case. "We were recently served with the complaint in this action. We are reviewing it and will prepare an appropriate legal response," wrote OSU spokesman Gary Lewis.
The court date has been set for July 14, 2015.

LOS ANGELES - Junior Rachael Kidder had 23 kills and only two errors in 37 attempts for a career-best .568 hitting percentage, as the sixth-ranked Bruins swept Utah on Saturday at the John Wooden Center. Set scores were 25-12, 25-14, 27-25. Five Bruins had at least eight digs, led by 12 from senior Lainey Gera and 11 from sophomore Kelly Reeves.
The Bruins improve to 18-3 overall and 11-2 in Pac-12 play, while the Utes fall to 8-14 and 3-10 in league action.
Kidder added nine digs and three blocks to go with her 23 kills, while Reeves posted seven kills and only one error in 15 swings for a .400 hitting percentage. Senior Lauren Van Orden produced 36 assists and eight digs and junior Bojana Todorovic tallied nine digs. Junior Tabi Love notched seven kills, while freshman Zoë Nightingale added six with only one error in 11 attacks (.455) to go with three blocks. The Bruins hit a season-best .411 for the match.
The Utes held brief leads of 1-0 and 2-1 to start the match, but runs of 3-0 and 7-1 by the Bruins put them up 8-3. Two Utah attack errors and a Love kill put UCLA up 4-2, and after a Utah sideout, a Ute service error, kills by Love and Aquino and a Utah ball handling error made it a five-point lead. Utah came back with three of the next five to get to within four at 10-6, but seven in a row by UCLA put the set out of reach. Kidder had two kills and a solo block during the run, Nightingale added a kill and Utah committed three attack errors to make it 17-6.
UCLA's lead never dipped below double figures for the rest of the set, reaching as many as 13 on several occasions. On the Bruins' second set point, Kidder recorded her team-best seventh kill of the stanza to complete a 25-12 victory. Kidder had no errors in 11 attempts (.636), while the Bruins as a team had 16 kills and only one miscue in 29 swings for a .517 hitting percentage. Gera and Kidder both had five digs in the set, while Love and Nightingale each added three kills. The Utes hit .000 in the opener.
Utah grabbed an early 6-4 lead, but a 3-0 UCLA run on a kill by Love, a Ute attack error and a combo roof by Kidder and Nightingale made it 7-6. Utah sided out the next point, but a 6-1 Bruin run gave them the lead for good. Kills from Reeves and Nightingale made it 9-7, and after a Utah sideout, a Ute service error and three straight kills by Kidder put UCLA on top 13-8.
The Bruins held a 19-13 advantage and went on to score six of the last seven points to win the second 25-14. Two kills by Reeves, with a Utah attack error in between, made it 22-13. Following a Utah sideout, the Bruins tallied the last three points of the set, with two kills by Kidder and the clincher from Nightingale to record the 11-point win. Kidder had seven more kills in the second, while Nightingale and Reeves posted three apiece. The Bruins out-hit the Utes .545 to .231.
Utah led throughout most of the third, but the Bruins, whose biggest lead was just two in the set, came back to win and finish the sweep. Trailing by as many as five at 11-6 and 12-7, the Bruins slowly started to chip away thanks to a 4-0 run which saw Utah commit three errors and Gera serve an ace to make it 12-11. Utah got the lead back up to three at 15-12, but runs of 4-1 and 7-2 put UCLA on top 19-17. Kidder came through on five of the seven points on four kills, including three in a row at one point, and a combo roof with Nightingale.
Utah responded with a 4-1 run to go back in front at 21-20, but kills by Kidder and Love put the Bruins back up 22-21. The Utes struck back with two in a row to go ahead 23-22, but a kill by Love evened things at 23. Utah sided out to earn a set point, but a Ute service error and attack error made it 25-24 to give the Bruins their first match point. Utah stopped the first try to tie the score at 25, but a Kidder kill gave the Bruins a second match point and Nightingale and Reeves combined on a block to post a 27-25 victory. Kidder had nine kills and only one error in 17 swings (.471) in the third, while Nightingale added three kills. Reeves notched six digs and Gera added five, as the Bruins were out-hit by the Utes .289 to .273.
The Bruins travel to the Bay Area to face a pair of Top 10 teams next weekend, facing California on Friday, Oct. 28 and Stanford on Oct. 29. Both matches start at 7 p.m.

At a press conference today on the occasion of the inauguration of the Kingdom's Strategic Petroleum Storage Project, Prince Sultan Ibn Abdul Aziz, Second Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense and Aviation and Inspector-General, revealed that the idea originally came from Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz. He also commented that in addition to the five locations mentioned (Riyadh, Jeddah, Madinah, Abha and Qassim Province) storage facilities for petroleum reserves, both surface and underground, already exist in the Eastern Province.
Asked about the possibility of similar storage facilities for reserves of foodstuffs and for medicine, Prince Sultan stated that meetings are planned with the Ministers of Health and of Planning in order to study the feasibility of this.
To a question on Iraq, Prince Sultan replied that he discounted Iraqi threats to Saudi Arabia and to Kuwait, saying: "We will never accept these threats and do not pay much attention to them because they do not come from wise human beings who care for the benefit of the Arab and Islamic worlds, nor even for their own country." As for the Iraqi opposition and its efforts to overthrow the ruling regime in Iraq, he said that this is the concern of the Iraqi people, and Saudi Arabia does not give support to any opposition anywhere in the world.
Referring to the visit to the Kingdom by the Kuwaiti Crown Prince, Prince Sultan said coordination among the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is ongoing, particularly within the framework of the Al-Jazirah (Peninsula) Shield Project. He denied both that the Kingdom is delaying its weapons projects, and that there is a freeze on armed forces projects, explaining that there is merely a re-scheduling of agreements, as is common everywhere. As for South Africa, he stated that no agreement has as yet been signed.
In reply to a question on Yemen, Prince Sultan stated that border negotiations are on the right track and progressing for the benefit of both countries.

Detectives have issued CCTV video footage in a renewed appeal
The video clip shows a man believed to be responsible for
assaulting an 18-year-old woman as she walked home near The Meadows
shopping precinct after a night out with friends.
The incident happened at about 4.30am on Thursday, September 15,
2011 when the woman was on a pavement between the Wilkinson's store
and the river.
The woman, who is from Chelmsford, screamed for help then
struggled with the man until he ran away.
Investigating officer, Dc Chris Leslie, said: "The woman was
unharmed but badly shaken. She gave us a good description of the
man and we have been able to trace his movements on the city
centre's CCTV system.
"Shortly after the assault happened we issued still images taken
from the CCTV, but now we hope that moving footage will help us
find the man.
"The footage shows a man in a queue of people waiting to go into
Chicago's night spot. He was on his own and remained on his own
while in Chicago's.
"It was Fresher's Night in the city centre and a large number of
students were attending various events. We have checked with the
college and university but have not been able to identify this
"He is thought to be Asian, aged in his 20s and about 5ft 6in
tall. At the time his hair was shaved at the back and sides and
long on top. He might have had a slight moustache. He was wearing a
blue check shirt, beige chinos and black trainers with white soles
and laces.
"If anyone knows this man or might have any information about
his whereabouts, please call us immediately."
Anyone with information should contact DC Leslie at Chelmsford
CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

The Cuban Davis Cup team produced a sublime display against Honduras on Wednesday to secure a play-off place as they attempt to return to Americas Zone Group II for the first time since 2007.
There were comfortable straight sets wins for Randy Blanco Quintana (making up for his loss in the first tie of the week against Bahamas) and William Dorantes Sanchez, who defeated Alejandro Obando and Keny Turcios respectively, which sealed the tie for the Cubans.
Ernesto Alfonso Fundora and Blanco Quintana then teamed up to win the doubles rubber in under an hour, giving Cuba a 3-0 whitewash victory.
The result means that Cuba cannot finish any lower than second in Pool A, regardless of the result of their tie against Panama on Friday: the team will therefore face a promotional play-off tie on Saturday.
The other tie in Pool A was a close affair that went down to a decisive doubles clash. Bahamas' Jamal Adderley won a comfortable opening rubber to put his nation 1-0 up, but Walner Espinoza fought back for Panama, winning in three sets to level the match.
Unfortunately for Espinoza, he and Luis Gomez were unable to match the Bahamas' team of Adderley and Marvin Rolle, who took just 55 minutes to score a 64 60 win and end Panama's hopes of achieving promotion this year.
That result means that Friday's match-up between Bahamas and Honduras will be decisive in determining which nation joins Cuba in advancing to the promotional play-offs.
With Pool B leaders Puerto Rico not in action on Wednesday, there was a chance for the other four nations to make up ground on the hosts.
Costa Rica made the most of that opportunity, winning 3-0 against Bermuda; however, the scoreline belies how hard the Costa Ricans were forced to fight, as two of three matches were settled in the deciding set.
Ignaci Roca Balmaceda defeated Gavin Manders to put his nation 1-0 up, before Pablo Nunez Palmieri won in three sets against David Thomas.
And the doubles team of Alvaro Riveros Quintero and Julian Saborio Madrigal overcame a horrendous start, having lost the opening set 6-0, to win in the final set.
Meanwhile, after falling tamely to a 3-0 defeat against Puerto Rico on Tuesday, Jamaica got off the mark with a win over Trinidad & Tobago. Daniel Harris got the ball rolling for the Jamaicans with a 64 61 triumph against Akiel Duke.
But Vaughn Wilson levelled the tie with a three-set win against Dominic Pagon. However, Pagon made amends when he teamed up with Brandon Burke to beat Duke and Wilson in the doubles 75 63.
On Thursday, Puerto Rico return to action with a tie against Trinidad & Tobago, while Costa Rica take on Jamaica. The final round of matches (in both pools) will take place on Friday.

Los Angeles, Calif. - Senior midfielder Ryan Hollingshead has been named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week for the week of Sept. 24-30, as announced by the publication today.
The senior captain had a big weekend for the Bruins as UCLA swept the Bay Area schools by matching scores of 3-1 to open Pac-12 play. On Friday against Stanford, Hollingshead notched his second assist of the year after setting up Reed Williams with a beautiful cross for UCLA's third and final goal of the day.

Athlete: Andre Williams
Team: Boston College Eagles
Position: Running Back
The Andre Williams Boston College Fathead Wall Decal: Are you having a hard time finding an Andre Williams poster that is BIG enough? How about an Andre Williams poster that doesn't need tape, tacks or putty? Welcome to the Andre Williams –Boston College Fathead wall graphic. An officially licensed Fathead wall decal of Andre Williams is huge and it stays up on its own with a low-tac adhesive that won't damage your walls. You can also move it and reuse it. Get it FOR REAL with a BC Andre Williams REAL.BIG. Fathead wall decal.
Andre Williams Career Highlights At Boston College: During his senior season at BC, Andre Williams rushed for more than 2100 yards while accumulating 18 touchdowns. Williams led the ACC & NCAA in rushing yards while also leading the ACC in rushing and total touchdowns. His senior year performance earned him the 2013 Doak Walker Award (awarded to the top running back in college football).
What It's Made Of: This REAL.BIG. Fathead Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you want to cry, don't worry, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be moved and reused without any damage to your wall. As if it couldn't get any better, your Fathead comes with free separate smaller images (made of the same stuff) to go with your awesome new wall graphic. You can stick 'em near your REAL.BIG. or use 'em to decorate another space.
Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big. Fatheads are perfect for transforming person caves, basements, family rooms, TV rooms, bedrooms, workout rooms, offices or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface. Need to decorate for a party or get together? Fatheads are the ultimate companion for watching the big game or as decorations for a theme party.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.
Welcome to Fathead Nation!

The fourth team was of course South Africa who were famously done in by the rain against England.

Comments about 'BYU football: Riley Nelson and his high-five mentality made this game different'
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
Rileys high five is iconic now, totally original. Ranking right up there with
Vai Sikahemas's boxing the goal post when he was with Philadelphia.
Riley reminds me of Steve Young as a Jr. Very undisciplined, but with incredible grit and skills.
He's not a bad passer, he just needs solid Coaching, not sure a former option QB has the tools to teach him.
Heart and Grit is what football is all about. He just needs to make smarter decisions. His misques when being rushed or sacked were the difference in the game. This must be addressed with Coaching.
You can't teach his headiness. Remember, Riley was a Parade All-American out of High School also.
Good coaching could make the diffence, not sure those coaches are at BYU as we speak.
Brandon should focus on OC duties and BYU needs to hire a really fine x's & o's QB coach.
Jake should redshirt next eyar and learn from Riley and Lark. Jake lacks toughness at this time, can it be taught? We'll see.

Not reading for content again, I see. Total body of work for this game.
Stand alone, your comment is correct, if somewhat ironic, coming from a Ute fan. Yes, the Y has fallen on hard times. If we were in a conference, we might even be in the cellar.
Sound familiar?

Iconic moments usually occur in winning efforts.
Apparently mid-major independence (no major conference wants you) has reduced the Cougar Nation to finding iconic moments in losing games.

I worry about those who are so critical and tight and judgmental, like your life is just awful or something if the team loses. It was a fun and very spontaneous moment. I know I am a huge Riley fan, and maybe I have rose colored glasses on, but I have watched the play again and again, and I saw no disrespect or arrogance, just excitement in the moment. Some out there remind me of the refs out there who love to throw the flag for celebration in the end zone. Is happiness not allowed? I can't see the ref's face, but his body language doesn't show he felt offended or disrespected. We all need to find the fun and good in life, and that brought fun in our house.

Oh Uteology, come on...seriously! BYU is so terrible, I know (but bowl eligible), Utah's marquee wins so far are against Pitt, BYU, and Oregon St. Guess who on that list is the only one with a winning record? You should be cheering for BYU so it makes that beat down you (rather, the Utes, you did nothing) gave them look better. Otherwise, if your claim to fame is beating a "dismal" BYU...well that only makes you feel better in the state of Utah, or the State of College Football Irrelevancy. Oh, and Utah will not go bowling this year, you heard it from the whole world first!

Maybe this has already been brought up, but I didn't think the "point" was to get CLOSE to the endzone, I thought it was to SCORE. I think the "high-fives" should wait till Riley can get the ball IN the endzone more consistently. Anybody seen Jake lately?

To me, the iconic Nelson moment of the game was at one point where he was surrounded by defenders grabbing on to him, and he had the ball in his left hand, raised above the fray, as though he were still thinking of passing it. The lack of ball protection was terrifying. It's a miracle no one tapped his arm and knocked the ball loose. He has heart, but his heart makes him try too hard and do stupid things.

It's fine to criticize Nelson...he deserves it. It is also fine to ask about Lark, another possible improvement from Nelson (I've no idea).
But to go back to Heaps? Never. Heaps should transfer, the team and fans will never get behind him again. Also, his numbers are inferior to Riley's, even against inferior teams. Heaps throws hard...period.

Explore University City
University City Not Just for Students
University City is just across the Schuylkill River from the heart of downtown Philadelphia. Its location makes it a premier place for purchasing real estate. Luxury homes here will gain in value both because of the location and the quality of the neighborhood.
Centering this district is the prestigious University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League college of notable standing. In addition the University of the Sciences and Drexel University are located here making this zone the most academically oriented neighborhood in the metropolitan region.
A number of medical facilities can also be found here. These include the following institutions: Philadelphia Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, and the Veteran's Administration Medical Center, and the Ryan Veterinarian Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Many students, teachers, and medical personnel who attend or work in these institutions live in the surrounding neighborhood of University City. They like the convenience of being so close to school or work. The district is also home to many young professionals and families making for an interesting mix of population.
Vibrant Blend of Business and Pleasure
The real estate of this district starts along the eastern shore of the Schuylkill River and runs west to 52nd St. Spring Street forms part of the Northern boundary along with Garden. Powelton and Market. The southern edge skirts around from 40th to 44th St.
This section of real estate has some luxury homes that are stunning examples of Victorian architecture. There is also a considerable amount of student housing clustered in a number of mid rise apartment buildings. Condos and town homes are also available in a wide range of prices.
Businesses here show a similar wide range of services. There are a large number of shops along with a large number of restaurants and bars. The relatively young age of the population here makes this a favorite spot to dine out or seek out an evening's entertainment.
A Division Between Residences and Schools
Most of the educational and medical facilities in University City are sited in the eastern portions. The western areas are more residential in nature. Here is where you will find the luxury homes from the Victorian era.
Blockley is the earliest name given to this locale. Back in 1677, William Warner bought 1500 acres of real estate here from the local tribe of Indians and named it Blockley. In the 19th century, Blockley Township was notorious for being a haven for thieves who would flee across the river to the area after engaging in smuggling and other criminal activity in the city center. By the mid century, the district was considered unsafe to be in alone.
The city of Philadelphia was founded 5 years after Blockley, but soon eclipsed it in size and importance. The district has a long and involved history with the city. University City has some historic luxury homes and much to offer in the way of real estate.
For more information on University City luxury homes and condos CLICK HERE to speak with Mike McCann.
Boundaries: On the east, the Schuylkill River; on the west, 52nd Street; on the north, Spring Garden Street (to 40th Street), Powelton Avenue (to 44th Street), and Market Street; and on the south, Civic Center Boulevard, University Avenue and Woodland Avenue.

Marc Anthony Writing $14 Million Tell-All About Jennifer Lopez?
"Marc Anthony's $14M Tell-All About J.Lo!" screams a headline from the National Enquirer, which claims the singer has been offered $14 million to spill secrets about his soon-to-be ex-wife Jennifer Lopez in an "explosive" new book.
The mag says Anthony is currently being courted by publishers, who are telling him that "rattling the skeletons in Jennifer's closet would give him the ultimate revenge plus a huge payday."
According to a so-called "source" for the tabloid, Anthony is "bitter over being dumped and out for blood," and "could very well level Jennifer in print by pulling back the veil on her secret world."
So, when is Anthony going to get to work on the book?
In about one week from… NEVER.
A rep for the singer confirms to Gossip Cop that Anthony is absolutely NOT is discussions about a tell-all, and says there's "no truth" to the Enquirer's tale.

Robbie Williams Invites Mila Kunis To A Travelodge!
Robbie Williams has revealed he has a HUGE crush on Mila Kunis. We wonder what his lovely wife Ayda Field thinks about that.
The singer, who left us all in fits of giggles after his hilarious performance on Sunday night's X Factor, has said he'd find it hard to turn down a night with the actress.
When asked if he'd like to entertain Mila, he told Capital Radio: "I'm married and I respect and love my wife too much.
"But, that being said, if Mila could meet me at the nearest hotel, the Travelodge. I don't know if she's been to Keele Services before, but at Keele Services there is a Travelodge. It's only £27.99 for the afternoon, Mila, I'll see you there."
Megalolz. Robbie, who became a dad to daughter Theodora Rosie back in September, refused to comment on whether he also finds Gary Barlow's wife Dawn attractive.
He said: "Not again. You know how much trouble I got in last time. He nearly found out, you know. This is embarrassing for both of us, I'm married now."
Oh, Robbie. Behave! RM

Black & White...and Turquoise!
Next to red and turquoise, black & white with turquoise is my favorite color combo. This image from Homes & Gardens makes me happy just looking at it...imagine living there! The bold shade of turquoise is quite intense, but is balanced out quite nicely with the simple furniture and accessories. Those great black and white botanical print fabrics really soften the look too. Thanks justiceaim! :)

James Merrell
I am so happy to have discovered the photographer James Merrell through Decorology. Perusing his online portfolio is just so much fun. All of his images are captured so beautifully and offer so much inspiration. The interiors are divine!!

Lucky Liam
I never watched Tori and Dean's TV show on Oxygen, but I love this nursery for their son Liam that Style & Grace featured a few months ago. The wallpaper is simply gorgeous!

Pernilla Hed
A few weeks ago Desire to Inspire posted about the talented Stockholm stylist and photographer Pernilla Hed. I looked through her online portfolio and found so many more beautiful photographs in addition to these. You must check them out if you haven't already.
