Lady Buffaloes advance to Area with win over Davis
By Jeff Rhodes
HN Sports
KINGSTON – After 20 minutes of action Saturday night, the Hugo Lady Buffaloes had three field goals and 12 points.
In the final 12 minutes, their offense clicked, scoring 20 points, and their formidable defense held in their 32-25 victory over Davis in the Regional Final.
It was a night where their offense struggled to get going. Like Thursday's Regional Semifinal, they struggled with early turnovers. Unlike Thursday night, their opponent didn't go away.

"The dust jacket features what looks like a distorted funhouse image of a young, naked Margaret Thatcher, her mouth agape and elongated into a Edvard Munch-like scream, her hands privatizing her property. I didn't notice Ms Thatcher in the novel, which isn't to say that she wasn't there. I'm probably in there. You are, too."
The Novel as a Big Fleshy Thing: Why Peter Nadas' Parallel Stories Has More Soul Than Your Dog by Tod Wodicka
In the midst of writing his second novel, Tod Wodicka examines the trend for the literary doorstopper. Some are markedly weightier than others.
In 1913, a Massachusetts physician named Duncan 'Om' MacDougall completed a series of experiments proving - to him, anyway - that the soul not only existed, but had mass. 21 grammes of the stuff, to be exact.
To do this, he asked six dying people if perhaps they wouldn't mind dying on an industrial-sized scale. Probably they didn't know they were being asked, or weren't asked, or perhaps through the fug of mortality they saw something of the divine in it all. A white-gowned man hoisting them up like beached dolphins, all those straps, buckles, levers; the slow, serious descent onto a metal platform. Then the waiting. The doctor pacing, clipboard in hand, not exactly wishing them ill but not hospitably begging them to stick around either. Purportedly, God's all about weighing us up, too. As in heaven, so on earth.
Buoyed by his success, Dr Om went on to weigh conveniently expiring sheep and mice and dogs. In all probability, he hastened their release. Poisoned sheep, he found, have souls. Dogs do not.
But what of novels? Specifically, the long novel, the Biblical doorstoppers and thousand-page self-designed masterworks. This thought that occurred to me while trying to find a comfortable position to enter the carpal tunnel of Hungarian novelist, Péter Nádas' 1,133-page Parallel Stories. Just what sort of damage would such a baggy monster unleash when let loose upon a Kindle or iPad, and, specifically, would one be able to notice any weight difference after downloading it? Not being able to afford a Kindle or a friend with a Kindle, let alone an atomic scale, I queried Wikipedia. Wikipedia's verdict? Probably not. Which isn't to say there wouldn't be some weight gain. The rather Pynchonianly named, Laszlo Kish at Texas A&M University, for example, wrote a paper I couldn't quite understand about weight fluctuations in information storage media, his conclusion being that gravity is extraordinarily weird and information has mass. Just not a whole lot of it.
I wouldn't say this about any other book, but Parallel Stories needs to be held. It is an extraordinary and fleshy thing.
Look at it. Paw the thing, slap it down on a podium, flip through it. Conceive of its first and last page: look at them together. Proof it begins, proof it ends. Because you're going to need this, to rely on those kind of physical temporality markers once you enter into Nádas' world. Pity the e-reader waiting, finger-flick after finger-flick, for a coherent old-fashioned plot to coagulate around the brilliant, actively digressive time warp of characters, epochs and themes. There's no such tug here. Eugenics, post-Wall Berlin underwear fetishism, homosexual restroom orgies in Communist Budapest, police - both secret and otherwise, hatless Jewish lumber merchants, romantic German art, 100-page sex scenes ending not in mutual orgasm but mutual urination, dismembered bodies hanging from World War I trees, opera singing, pre-war Hungarian architecture, taxi-driving former fascist aristocrats, bread lines being shelled by Soviet tanks, elderly lesbians playing board and mind games, an unsolved murder (also involving designer underwear), and that's just for starters. It'd feel bottomless without the old-fashioned reliability of finite paper pages. It'd feel like a possession, your Kindle self-creating a never-ending series of incidents, connections, hyper-linked characters and wonderingly realized time periods. The Kindle berserk with a novel as wayward and intermeshed as the internet itself. But holding Parallel Stories in your hand will give it shape, a way in, a necessary body - and what a body. The dust jacket features what looks like a distorted funhouse image of a young, naked Margaret Thatcher, her mouth agape and elongated into a Edvard Munch-like scream, her hands privatizing her property. I didn't notice Mrs Thatcher in the novel, which isn't to say that she wasn't there. I'm probably in there. You are, too. Frankly, I enjoyed the idea: an entire universe embedded inside a nubile grotesque of Margaret Thatcher.
Parallel Stories took 18 years to write and 5 more to translate into English - masterfully, it should be said, by Imre Goldstein. The proof copy I have even has the dreaded 'new War and Peace' albatrossed across its cover. (New War and Peaces in literary terms being as reliable as 'new Dylan' in the musical - critical short-hand for a weighty book with hundreds of characters and historical trauma involving fire. I mean, even War and Peace itself gets the 'new War and Peace' treatment every decade or so - see the stunning 2007 Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky translation and its accompanying fanfare.) No, Nadas, at 69 years old, has created something far more original than that, his company less Tolstoy and the Russian realists and more the tree-devouring works of Mann, Joyce, Robert Musil and even Henry Miller. It's a book that seems effortlessly post-modern, nothing signposted or done for experiment's sake; with the inhuman coolness of the professional acrobat, the prose can turn on a dime, tumble from third to first person, from long sentences to poetry-like spins of single lines and back again. No sweat. The effect is enlivening in that ineffable way that only great literature can be; it re-teaches you how to read as you read. This is what novels can still do. Structurally, it's like fantasy literature in a sense; the reader presented with so many interconnected times and characters that you have to give in to the rules of this fictional world before being able to traverse through it. (It might be noted that the fantasy/sci-fi genre is one of the only ones that can still get away with publishing 1000-page novels to impressive sales - I suppose there's something inherently wordy in the creation of worlds, whether they include dragons or cottaging homosexuals in Communist Budapest.)
But where sometimes a book of this length and, sure, difficulty, can take time to get your claws into, Nádas had me on the first page and this near-perfect seduction of a sentence: 'He was like a blade, though he could not tell of what, perhaps of a razor or an icy thought, but of that he said nothing.'
Or try a longer excerpt. This concerns the transport of Hungarian children to some undefined Communist camp; neither the children nor their parents know exactly where or why, the ingeniously stuttered will of the State is all.
The impassive, almost bored female voice coming from the loudspeakers kept repeating for long minutes that in compliance with the orders of the station inspectors, for security reasons the departure hall would be closed before the trains' departure, therefore parents and relatives, tives, were asked immediately to vacate, cate, the railway station.
Tation. Tion.
But the crowd would not move.
Children hanging out the train windows were waving, yelling, and the long complicated sentence kept echoing, maddening and incomprehensible. The throng of excited parents and relatives was now packed into the open space between the entrance of the glass-covered departure hall and the end of the platforms; they stretched, waved, and screamed from there, though it made no sense to wait until we'd leave.
The loud bubbling of a dark mass.
Outside, Baross Square was sizzling in the sunshine.
Bullet marks on the facade of the glass-covered hall had been repaired in the first months after the fighting, but the station's domed roof was still gaping with holes, and the hot sunshine pouring through them in enormous beams created a veritable curtain between us.
It was dazzling.
Note the way Nádas' eyes - and ears - flick between history, past and ever-present, the bullets in the facade outside and the 'bubbling mass' inside, from the first person to some all-knowing third. His immediacy and lightness of touch. It is dazzling.
Parallel Stories may or may not have a soul, but it certainly has a body. The novel stinks. It seethes and shits and breathes and fucks and smells its own fingers. It's perhaps the most corporeal novel I've ever read, and near revolutionary in its bodily weight, in the way it makes you uncomfortably aware of your own flesh and its inner-workings as you read. The exhaustive descriptions of character are built not from the head down, but from their bodies up and out into history. The anti-Mann, in that sense. (A drinking game could be played using the word 'bulb' in reference to the erect penis, by the way - if anyone ever decided to hold a hoot of a Parallel Stories reading party.) I want to use the word 'brave' in the way Nádas creates a literature of history as formed through the impermanent bodies that run through it, but 'true' would be closer to the mark. It is uncomfortable and filthy and occasionally tiresome, but so is life and the unending and unknowable needs of our bodies. In Parallel Stories the characters aren't only slaves to the state and history but to their own corporeality, which they try and try and fail and try again to grapple with. The tragedy always seems to start from within. No matter what the social or historical weather happens to be, there's never a constant, only human bodies, thousands of characters trying to make sense of themselves from within it all.
But in the end, what's most shocking about Péter Nádas' novel is simply that it exists. Time and time again, while reading, this other thought occurred to me, and then enraged and depressed me: here is a book that would never, ever be published if it was written by an unknown English or American author. Its synopsis, being more or less impossible to condense, is made of the most scoffable stuff. Imagine what an American edit of such a novel would look like - "There's a decent 250-page novel in here, maybe four of them, Mr Nádas, why don't you try to tell your stories like that? I like the murder mystery part, why don't you ever try to solve it? The orgies we could probably lose." No way this would this ever slip through the cautious gates of agents and marketing and the industry if it wasn't by an elder statesman of European literature. Could Parallel Stories be the last great European novel in the 20th century's mould? I hope not. But thinking about the now-internalised constraints we novelists place on ourselves; the Stockholm syndrome we all more or less suffer from in order to be a part of the publishing world, well, it could just be the last of that grand, dying breed. Today's English-writing novelists are safe in a zoo - and we're happy there. We're fed meagerly, but we occasionally get petted. There are cocktail parties. Because what choice do we have if we want a career? We're convinced the public that comes to visit want us entertaining and topical, concise and good at giving what they want, which is what they know, challenging in ways our zookeepers may find occasionally eccentric or marketably perverse but never too time-consumingly difficult. The wayward, crotchety animals are old and, apparently, kept safely away in places like Hungary. Maybe Latvia. They'll be dead soon, anyway. (And those hopeful whispers going cage to cage about our zookeepers being overrun by the 'new media' are intriguing but ultimately flimsy when it comes to books like Parallel Stories, anyway. Books like this - just like the works of Joyce, Woolf, Mann, etc. - need an industry-supported platform. Great art still needs patrons, and would certainly fair even worse in the ADD world of self-publishing. We're our own zookeepers now: meet the new boss, same as the old.) Normally I bristle at reports of new writing being too flimsy, inward-gazing or beholden to the industry. But even the most daring novels of our generation, like David Foster Wallace's magnificent Infinite Jest, are only allowed to be daring in a manner that is also entertaining - and entertaining in a manner understood by the constricts of the market. There's little overt humour in Parallel Stories, and no irony. That, in and of itself, began to seem revolutionary. Are we now so afraid of high, pure, unsweetened art? I'm not exactly sure, and nor am I sure what kind of audience awaits Péter Nádas' new book.
Part of me thinks: it doesn't fucking matter. It exists. It is supported by a major publishing house. For that be thankful.
But another part of me despairs. Kindle or no, this book is mammoth, and needs a lot of space to breathe.
And, yes, this season's got a few such elephants marching into the book store - or rather, the Amazon shipping bay. There's The Instructions by Adam Levin, a 1,030-page answer to the unasked question of what it'd be like to spend 1,030 pages with a Jonathan Safran Foer character - or Jonathan Safran Foer himself - which is either as delightful or face-peelingly exasperating as that sounds. But foremost, of course, there's Murakami's 1Q84, so large it's been published in two hardbacks. I know many people I respect who stand by Murakami, but personally I've always found his prose so flat and sloppily repetitive, his weirdness so rote and bloodless, that I'm still waiting for someone to come out and say our understanding of his novels depend on some retrograde, borderline racist understanding of Japanese culture. Like: well, it's supposed to be so dull and artlessly 'weird'; and, boy, aren't they interesting and cute, those Japanese? The way they're always cooking and talking to supernatural beings and thinking about classical music? OK, not an argument I could or would want to make, not here anyway - but let's put it out there anyway. Murakami cultists, there's something to be said for short books, too. I'd start with Philip K. Dick. Discuss amongst yourselves.
Meaning, I suppose, there's weight and then there's weight. Like a lover or your own personal history, Péter Nádas' Parallel Stories contains more than you can conceivably take from it. It is heavy in all ways. Or, as Steve Jobs said before transmitting his 21 grammes into the ether:
"Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow."
All Shall Be Well; And All Shall Be Well; And All Manner of Things Shall be Well by Tod Wodicka is published by Jonathan Cape. He lives in Berlin where he is working on his second novel, The Household Spirit.

Writing about historic implant was heartwarming experience
Writing about historic implant was heartwarming experience
The night of Dec. 1, 1982, was made for flannel nighties, with a heavy snowstorm putting on a show that was too late for Thanksgiving and too early for Christmas. I put my nightie on, hoping for a good night's sleep before heading to the University of Utah early the next morning for the much-anticipated implant of an artificial heart in the chest of Seattle dentist Barney Clark.
About 9 p.m., a phone call from the U. medical center public relations department led to a swift swap of the flannel nightie for more conventional wear suitable for a wintry nighttime drive to the U.
Clark's tenuous grip on life was quickly fading and the surgery had been hastened to intercede before it was too late. The protocol approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the procedure required a patient nearing death for whom no other alternatives remained.
As my little Ford Escort slithered and slid up 100 South toward the medical center, I came up behind a small blue pickup truck also struggling and trying to get a grip on the snow-covered street. When we both arrived in the medical center's parking lot, Dr. Chase N. Peterson, then-U. vice president for health sciences and official spokesman for the implant, exited the pickup and greeted me, and we walked into the hospital together.
In the weeks to come, Peterson was going to get a lesson in meeting the dozen diverse needs of the media, which were at that moment collecting in a corner of the hospital's cafeteria.
The avid newsgatherers ran the gamut, from Dr. Larry Altman, a physician/journalist and writer for the New York Times, who could ask the salient medical questions, to an eager National Enquirer scribe whose main concern was the color of Dr. Clark's pajamas. Most of us fell into the middle tier workaday reporters who had spent varying amounts of time before the implant trying to learn what we could about the procedure so we could accurately pass information on to the public.
This was the event we'd been looking forward to for months. Since U. officials had announced that an implant was pending, the artificial heart had become the story that never quit.
It was a journalist's dream. Fascinating, colorful people at all levels of the team. A few "family squabbles" about whether or not the U. should be involved in such an undertaking. The ethical questions surrounding the removal of a beating heart and replacing it with a complex apparatus that would forever doom the recipients, at least the first of them, to a life limited by several hundred pounds of complex equipment.
There was the long search for the proper candidate, along with the stories of several willing persons who in no way met the criteria such as the Utah State Prison inmate who saw life with a man-made heart and its bulky support system as a better alternative than life in prison. Or Dale Lott, the Florida man who hired a high-profile lawyer to try to force the U. to consider him for the surgery.
Now, with a patient they considered the ideal candidate, it was happening. The U. team was at work on a higher floor of the hospital, while the members of the media bided their time by conjecturing on the progress of the procedure ("Do you think the real heart is out now?" "Wonder how long this is going to take.") There was a sense of cordial companionship and shared anticipation as we waited. And waited. A few short briefings during the long night kept the media on their toes while waiting for the big announcement. I knitted (Christmas was only weeks away, and for me knitting and Christmas are synonymous) and chatted with a Washington Post reporter who had left a couple of little boys at home to make the trip to Utah.
At 5 a.m. on Dec. 2, Peterson brought the word, and I swapped my knitting needles for a pen.
The artificial heart had been sustaining Clark's life for some 50 minutes at that point. The surgery appeared to be a rousing success. The media corner of the cafeteria was galvanized in that peculiar burst of adrenaline-mediated action that only a good story can generate in a mob of reporters.

Three University of Kansas City-Missouri Conservatory of Music and Dance (UMKC) doctoral candidates hear their compositions played by the Kansas City Symphony at 10a.m., Monday, March 17, the Symphony just announced today.
The upcoming readings occur in the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, Helzberg Hall and is both free and open to the public. Reservations, though, are required. Parking is available in the Arts District garage for this event is $7.
The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, specifically Helzberg Hall, serves as home for the KCS performances. And, according to a spokesman for the KCS, having a piece of music selected to be read by the KCS is alike "an Oscar-winning director reviewing a budding screenwriter's script or a James Beard award-winning chef giving notes to a promising culinary student. The KCS professional musicians of the critically acclaimed Kansas City Symphony have selected to play through the works of three deserving doctoral composition students."
Associate Conductor Aram Demirjian will conduct the Symphony in the following student works: Brian Lynn, Resident 1; Joseph Kern, Stähldämmerung; and Phil DeWalt, Ignatius Wishes He Could Dance.
These selected composition students have the invaluable opportunity to hear their works performed live by a professional orchestra in the acoustically superb setting of Helzberg Hall. The students also will receive feedback from Associate Conductor Aram Demirjian, the symphony spokesman said. This serves as not only a wonderful opportunity for the students but also a chance for the Symphony to read through new music.
Music Director Michael Stern said that he is thrilled about the continued partnership between the Symphony and the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance. While the Symphony and Conservatory have coordinated efforts on various programs in the past, the two organizations formalized their partnership in fall of 2010 when Stern conducted the first Conservatory Orchestra concert that fall. The first composition reading session took place in spring 2011 at the White Recital Hall on the UMKC campus. Organizers moved the composition readings to Helzberg Hall in spring 2012 during the Symphony's first season in the Kauffman Center.
"This possibility of allowing young composers the chance to hear their music professionally rehearsed, played, and critiqued is a unique and extraordinarily gratifying concept," Stern said. "I think for these young and talented composers to work with this caliber of musicians, from Aram Demirjian to all the players, is a great opportunity. It also highlights our core values and many of the goals towards which we are continually striving to achieve and improve. I am proud of our mission at the Symphony, for many reasons. More than just playing concerts, we want to be the engine of music in our city and the entire region, in order to contribute to the musical and artistic life of the entire community, in all sorts of ways, with all different kinds of repertoire, and for as many constituencies as possible."
Stern thinks that the Symphony has an ongoing commitment to nurturing and championing music for "our time."
"We want to elevate the artistic life of the city," he said. "We believe in young people and the talent they can develop to make great things happen. And above all, we believe in the power of music and the arts to make our world better. This project reflects all of those aspects, and we are all thrilled to make it an ongoing success."

The Yellow Wallpaper
by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The Yellow Wallpaper Society and Class Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Section.Paragraph)
Quote #1
It is very seldom that mere ordinary people like John and myself secure ancestral halls for the summer. (1.1)
The narrator thinks of herself and her husband as "ordinary people." How accurate is that? Remember that they have servants, including a housekeeper and a nanny.
Quote #2
If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency—what is one to do? (1.10)
Here, John's status in society as a doctor and a husband both conspire against the narrator's articulation of her own illness.
Quote #3
I sometimes fancy that in my condition if I had less opposition and more society and stimulus—but John says the very worst thing I can do is to think about my condition, and I confess it always makes me feel bad. (1.17)
The narrator is cut off and isolated from the rest of the society. Is that the real source of her madness?

There is never any shortage of Springers looking for new homes. Young, middle-aged, elderly, all are looking for that special someone who will love and care for them.
Young Springers are usually re-homed relatively quickly, but please spare a thought for those Golden Oldies who also deserve recognition for the love and companionship they still have to give. Caring for an elderly dog can be as equally rewarding as caring for a younger dog and not everyone wants a bouncy, rumbustious whirlwind in their lives. Slow and sedate also has its compensations.
Here are just some of the dogs who need special attention and are seeking kind and loving families.
If you wish to adopt one of our Springers, please complete the on-line vetting form.
|A request to all NWESSR dog owners. If you have moved since taking your dog from NWESSR, or are in the process of moving, please could you keep us up to date with any new contact details. You can do this by by e.mailing our Homing Officer in the contacts page. We would like to keep in touch with all owners of NWESSR dogs and also be able to send our newsletters to you. Thanks.

At The Happy Housie, Krista had a thrift shop find that had been languishing in her garage for months. She'd originally brought it home for bedroom decor, but when her decorating scheme went in another direction, she didn't have a use for it. Recently, Krista realized that the toolbox could be a solution for a common household problem: corralling electronics.
"All of those spaghetti-noodle cords on our counter all the time were causing me some major stress," says Krista. The tool box had a nifty little pull-out tray that could divide the top from the bottom of the storage area. Krista had her husband drill a few holes in the tray and the bottom of the box. Now a power strip lies discreetly in the bottom half. Up above, the electronics that need to be charged sit in the pull out tray, their cords slip away down through the small holes to the power strip below. "And the metal is magnetic (obviously) so I can even clip up cute little inspirational photos and cards using magnets," Krista points out happily. It's a fantastic addition to the family command center. Awesome!
You can click over to The Happy Housie to get more details on this vintage toolbox repurposed into a charging station.

*Flax turns to Deac with a pained expression.* Deac, I'm going to fix this. Its going to be very messy though; I don't want you to catch any flak.
*Flax climbs into the fighter and seals the canopy*
Flax: Chip take us up the the Independance.
*The fighter lifts off and heads starward. Some time later the fighter glides into the main landing bay of the Republic's most powerful warship.
Flax climbs out, an aide is waiting for him.*
Aide: Sir!
Flax: Ensign, I want every divisional head in the Executive Briefing room in 15 minutes.
Aide: Yes Sir. *The young man walks off toward a turbolift.*
*Flax heads towards another lift and takes an takes an express, no stop trip to his quarters, where he quickly gathers some data cards and then heads to the Briefing.*
*15 minutes later.*
*The last of the officers file in, Admiral Thran, Fleet Commander, turns to Flax.*
Thran: You had better have a damm good reason for this Tak.
Flax: Yes sir. Just over two weeks ago some of us, including myself, were briefed on a new Weapon which the Senate Defence Commity and the Fleet Admiral believed would safe guard the future of our goverment and our people.
*Flax pauses and Thran jumps in.*
Thran: General, this is Classified information, I warn you....
Flax: Just over 45 minutes ago I was informed that this new weapon would be used on Coruscant.
*Stunned Silence.*
*Flax presses on* This new weapon is a modified version of our standard
Torpedo Attack Destroyers. *Goes on to relate Rellentless Specs.*
*The Fleet Intelligance Head, Colonel Re'tica, a Twilek speeks.*
Re'tica: This weapon goes against everything we have fought for!
Flax: I agree, that was what I said when it was revieled to me; I was assured that the weapon would never actually be used. It appears the Senate fears Vampires more than open rebelion.
Army General: Rebelion? What are you suggesting, Sir?
Flax: This weapon must be destroyed within the next 23 hours or the remaining population of Coruscant will be horribly murdered.
We have much less time than that however, since my abrupt arrival here is bound to attract attention. So here's what we're going to do....
((Up to now Flax has been in shock, hense the lack of conherance. If you can't see where this is heading then you won't be very interested in the next couple of threads.))
Fly Fast,
Shoot Straight,
Live Long!

There were several reports of illegal fireworks throughout the Northstate on the 4th of July.
CAL FIRE said six people were cited for illegal fireworks in Shasta County.
CAL FIRE Prevention Chief Lance Berry estimated his department got about 30 fireworks-related calls.
Berry said some of the people who were cited were from Centerville, Palo Cedro, north Anderson, and Lake Head.
In Redding, fire investigators estimated they got about 25 calls.
Three vegetation fires reportedly started from fallout from the Freedom Festival's Fireworks Show, however they were quickly contained.
There were also several reports of illegal fireworks usage from spectators as well.
Investigators said in the city of Redding they had so many calls for fireworks it was easier to confiscate them than to write a ticket so they could cover more ground.
In Butte County, CAL FIRE said they had 18 calls regarding illegal fireworks, not including the cities of Chico or Oroville.
No one was cited and no fires were reported.
In Chico, fire officials said they did not have a record of the calls they received, however they did say the Dorthy Johnson Recreation Center did sustain some damage to their basketball courts and tables.
In Tehama County, officials said they had some 25 calls from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Six fires reportedly broke out but officials said they were quickly contained.
The Trinity County Sheriff's Office said they received one call.
According to the Glenn County Sheriff's Office logs there were three reports of fireworks that were unfounded.
In Modoc County CAL FIRE said they did not have any fireworks related calls.

Andy Hallstaff biosend email
The good news around St. Joseph Academy today is that quarterback B.J. Packo, once feared paralyzed during Friday's season opener, is on his way to recovery.
''He's in a neck brace and he'll be re-evaluated in six weeks,'' head coach John David said Monday. ''His football career is over. But he's probably a better baseball player and hopefully he'll be cleared for baseball. He was in great spirits this morning.''
That will surely raise spirits of those who witnessed the injury and those who have been praying for Packo's good health.
''After an emotional weekend, I know B.J.'s dad, Bernie (an assistant football coach and head baseball coach at St. Joseph) wanted to thank the church and everybody in the community for their prayers,'' David said.
That's the good news.
The other news is that the 0-1 Flashes still have nine games to play, minus the quarterback to whom they had pinned much of their hopes for a winning season.
OK, call that the bad news -- but how bad depends largely on how the players respond to adversity and rally around the inexperienced quarterbacks who will share time this Friday against Jacksonville Paxon and perhaps for the rest of the season.
Into the breach go junior Will Sachs and senior Travis Martin, who bring different skills but no significant experience to the position. Sachs, a wide receiver/defensive back, took a few snaps when Packo hurt an elbow during the Aug. 24 kickoff classic tie with Father Lopez. Those few snaps give Sachs a huge edge in experience over Martin, a receiver who came out for the first time in spring practice but only rejoined the squad just last week.
''Here's a guy who probably has three weeks of high school football experience, (but) Travis gives us a little more big-play capability -- a stronger arm, a little faster,'' David said. ''Will has a little more savvy.''
No matter who's behind center, the Flashes will, out of necessity become more of a running team, meaning more work for running backs Corey Young and Trevor Scott -- and possibly Matt Hernandez, a wideout who, with Packo out, may be the Flashes' best big-play hope.
''It's not like we were throwing the ball all over the yard to begin with, but B.J. had big-play capability and was probably our fastest player,'' David said. ''We haven't been able to get the ball to Matt Hernandez enough so we're going to re-examine our routes and other things.''
St. Joe coaches already have re-examined the offensive front and have switched 6-7, 250-pound Jamie Weimer from tackle to guard and 5-6, 204-pound Zac Eberhard from guard to tackle.
''Jamie gives us a little more strength inside,'' David said. ''What we've experienced is linebackers shooting the gaps. A 6-7 guard should help put a stop to that. Eberhard runs a 4.8, 4.9 40 and gives us a better chance to block outside.
''We have to put in a whole new offense now.''
The old offense didn't get much done last Friday in a 38-0 loss to St. Petersburg Catholic, a game mercifully halted by bad weather late in the second quarter. The defense didn't accomplish much, either, and while David admits the Flashes were badly outmanned by the Barons, he didn't like the effort.
''We did nothing,'' the coach said. ''This team (Paxon) is going to come in here on a roll. They're nowhere near the level of St. Pete Catholic, but we have to do a better job.''
The long-suffering Eagles come to Versaggi Field off a rare win, a 26-7 decision in their season opener at Trenton. David hasn't been able to obtain a film of Paxon but his greater concern now is having the Flashes emotionally and strategically prepared to move on without B.J. Packo.
''We had a team with B.J. that could win five or six games. Now it's gut-check time,'' David said. ''We can pack it in and lose 10 games.
''Or we can take it from here with Paxon, dedicate the rest of the season to B.J. and move on.''

Jazz Film Series Begins at Library of Congress January 10
"Louis Prima: The Wildest" First Film on Schedule
For the fifth year in a row, the Library is presenting a series of films in January about major jazz figures in its Mary Pickford Theater, located on the third floor of the Madison Building at 101 Independence Ave. S.E. All programs are free, although seating is limited. No reservations will be taken, and admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. The programs begin at 7 p.m., with doors to the theater opening at 6:30 p.m. This series is curated by Senior Studio Engineer Larry Appelbaum, with support from the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division and the Music Division of the Library of Congress.
January 10: "Louis Prima: The Wildest" (Deep C Productions, 1999; director, Don McGlynn; producer, Joe Lauro; 82 minutes, color, video; LC Collection).
Trumpeter, singer, bandleader Louis Prima (1911-79) was a respected jazz musician and uninhibited entertainer. He wrote the swing (and retro-swing) anthems "Sing, Sing Sing" and "Jump, Jive & Wail," rocked Las Vegas in the 1950s with singer and spouse Keely Smith, and climaxed his career with his role in Disney's Jungle Book film, singing "I Wanna Be Like You (The Monkey Song)." This new documentary includes interviews with sidemen and ex-wives, and features rare and unforgettable footage of Prima's film and television appearances. The program will be introduced by Rusty Hassan, who teaches jazz history at Georgetown and American universities and has a radio program about jazz on WPFW-FM.
January 13: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Harold Arlen" (Deep C Productions, 1999; director, Don McGlynn; producers, Myron Meisel, Joe Lauro, Don McGlynn; 72 minutes, color DVD, LC Collection).
Every jazz fan knows the songs of Harold Arlen. In this tribute to one of the great composers of the century, Frank Sinatra is shown crooning "One for My Baby"; Cab Calloway sings "Blues in the Night"; Duke Ellington and Lena Horne perform their respective versions of "Stormy Weather"; and Bing Crosby does "Accentuate the Positive." In addition, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, and Mel Torme interpret the Arlen classics "Anyplace I Hang My Hat Is Home," "Old Black Magic," "Come Rain or Come Shine," and "A Sleeping Bee." The music is interspersed with excerpts of Harold Arlen's home movies, including rare, behind-the-scenes footage from "The Wizard of Oz," and private moments with George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin and Oz collaborator Yip Harburg. The film will be introduced by Mark Horowitz, a Music Specialist in the Music Division at the Library of Congress.
January 20: "Joe Williams: Portrait in Song" (Jazz Image Inc., 1997; producer, director, Burrill Crohn; 56 minutes, color video) and "But Then, She's Betty Carter" (Eye of the Storm Productions Inc. 1980; producer, director, writer, Michelle Parkerson; 53 minutes, color, 16mm).
The jazz world recently lost several important singers who set the highest standards with their ability to interpret, improvise and swing. Joe Williams, sometimes referred to as Count Basie's "No. 1 Son," is the subject of a documentary shot during a weekend concert with the Basie Orchestra at Hamilton College in 1996. Highlights include archival footage of Williams and Basie on the Pat Boone Show in 1959, Williams and fellow blues shouter Jimmy Rushing at Newport in 1962 and an extraordinary glimpse of Williams watching and singing along with a film clip of himself from an earlier era.
Be-bop vocalist and educator Betty Carter is considered one of the greatest pure jazz singers of the 20th century. In this revealing documentary, Carter emerges as a strong-willed woman of integrity who created her own opportunities and persevered, despite mistreatment by major record companies and an indifferent music business. The program will be introduced by Ira Sabin, chairman and founder of JAZZTIMES magazine.
January 24: "Jazz 625: Erroll Garner, Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk" (BBC 1964-65; director, Terry Henebery; 110 minutes, b&w, video, LC Collection).
By the mid-1960s, it was rare to find much jazz on television. In the United States, jazz was mostly found on the NET (National Educational Television) network. In England, the BBC documented many British and American groups in a series called Jazz 625. This evening's programs from this landmark series features three important jazz pianists. Erroll Garner generated enormous momentum and swing with his block chords and way of manipulating tempo. Bill Evans combined a subtle touch with harmonic sophistication, which made him one of the most influential musicians of his generation. Thelonious Monk developed an idiosyncratic style that was avant-garde, yet rooted in tradition. His compositions, including "Round Midnight," "Straight No Chaser," "Well You Needn't," "Misterioso" and others, are an important part of the jazz repertoire.
The program will be introduced by John Edward Hasse, curator of American music at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. He is author of Beyond Category: The Musical Genius of Duke Ellington and editor of Jazz: The First Century.
January 27: "A Man Called Adam" (Trace-Mark Productions/Embassy Pictures Corp., 1966; director, Leo Penn; producers, James Warren, Ike Jones; screenplay, Les Pines, Tina Rome; 99 minutes, b&w, 16mm).
This backstage melodrama about nonviolence and issues of race, based loosely on Miles Davis, stars Sammy Davis Jr. as a trumpeter (ghosted on the soundtrack by Nat Adderley). The cast includes Louis Armstrong, Ossie Davis, Mel Torme, Frank Sinatra Jr. and Cicely Tyson. Featured musicians include Jo Jones, Buster Bailey, Tyree Glenn, Benny Powell, Frank Wess, Hank Jones and "Pops" Foster. The program will be introduced by Julian Euell, a jazz bassist who played and recorded with John Coltrane, Mal Waldron, Phineas Newborn, Gigi Gryce, Kenny Dorham and others. He is a former Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and former Director of the Louis Armstrong House and Archive.

According to their official site, Slayer has cancelled/postponed some of their American Carnage Tour with Megadeth and Testament, set to kick off January 17th, so that Tom Araya (vocalist, bassist) can undergo back surgery. The bands staff is hard at work rescheduling all the dates that have been cancelled for later in the year and promises that already purchased tickets will be honored at the later dates.
Tom began suffering severe pain on the bands Australian/New Zealand/Japanese tour last October (believed to be caused by nearly three decades of extreme head banging), but worked through the discomfort to finish the dates. After he returned home he met with a orthopedic specialist and underwent non-surgical remedies to no avail, at which time he decided to undergo the Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion, considered a relatively routine procedure, to fix the troubled area.
Having never really slowed down in their three decade career, Slayer released their 11th studio album, World Painted Blood last November. Featuring tracks like the heavy but melodic "Beauty Through Order" and the shredding "Psychopathy Red", the latest endeavor fits perfectly into the bands extensive catalog.
As of now, there are no dates scheduled in Ohio (Detroit being the closest), Slayer has a pretty good record of hitting the Buckeye State.

Innovation at Sun
By nickstephen on Oct 15, 2007
I've just been on the road visiting the 'states again, with a packed agenda.
First off, I spent 3 days at Monterrey Bay at an internal Sun conference around Innovation. Some of the stuff we've been working on in the management space has been pretty innovative, and I'd had a paper accepted to this conference which is organized by Sun's CTO organization to get Sun's innovators together with our Distinguished Engineers and Fellows to share what we've all been up to and to be able to build synergy standing on each others shoulders to build even greater things.
Here's a snap of Gilles and myself down on
the beach at 6am, before the conference started...

Forest Hills Tennis Stadium was built in 1923 to host the U.S. Open tennis tournament. In the 1960s as America was being gripped by rock 'n' roll, the stadium turned to concerts to fill seats and coffers during fallow times for tennis. Forest Hills was a venue for a lot of the big name rock acts of the day. In 1964 The Beatles played there, arriving by helicopter that landed on the grass courts, Bob Dylan played there. It was natural The Doors played there August 12, 1967, and it turned out it wasn't the best venue for The Doors.
Just a couple of weeks before the Forest Hills show "Light My Fire" had become the number selling record in the U.S. and The Doors were at the height of their musical prowess and riding the high a number one record will give a band. The Doors were opening for Simon & Garfunkle, maybe that should have been an omen, or somebody should have realized the folk rock of Simon & Garfunkle and the harder edge of The Doors weren't compatible. When The Doors came onstage things didn't go well right from the start, the crowd jeered the band and laughed at Morrison's histrionics. Ray Manzarek later reported "We were in hell. That was one of the all-time lows." Morrison later told people "I hated them (referring to the audience). I wanted to kill them."
Maybe it was Morrison's aloof manner that put the audience off, but Forest Hills had a reputation for a being a raucous audience. When Bob Dylan played there the audience reportedly gave him a harder time than the audience at the Newport Jazz Festival when Dylan went electric. Later a Forest Hills audience would boo Jimi Hendrix offstage.
Paul Simon, who thought The Doors were one of the better groups around and had been lobbied by Elektra Records found Jac Holzman to get The Doors to open for Simon & Garfunkle, believed in The Doors and after they left the stage Simon went out and reprimanded the audience. The Forest Hills because it was an outdoor venue, was the beginning of the belief among The Doors that their sound was diluted by outdoor venues.

Lamborghini Crashes After Showing Off [VIDEO]
People that drive awesome cars tend to think they are pretty awesome themselves. You see them revving the engine at lights, speeding by you on the highway or even just glaring at you because your car is supposedly not as 'cool' as theirs. Well, karma is a bitch and you can see that in this video.

The criteria is largely based on one question: Who would be the best players on the field if a game was played today? Past accomplishments and future potential also are taken into account.
There were tough decisions, which likely will lead to plenty of second-guessing. So let the debate begin.
No. 15: S Roman Harper
Last Year's Rank: 10
Season: 8; Age: 30; Height: 6-1; Weight: 200
This will probably be one of the most debated rankings on the list, since many Saints fans weren't happy with Harper even before he had the worst season of his career in 2012. But the return to an attacking, aggressive style under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan should be a great fit for Harper, who was a two-time Pro Bowl player under former coordinator Gregg Williams' similar scheme.
Harper has always struggled in deep pass coverage -- especially in two infamous playoff performances at Seattle and at San Francisco. But during his prime years under Williams, he was arguably the Saints' most dynamic playmaker as a blitzer and open-field tackler. He had 12 sacks and 10 forced fumbles 2009-11. Last year, Harper had zero sacks and zero forced fumbles while being asked to spend more time in zone coverage under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, which was obviously a bad fit for Harper's skills. But Harper deserves his share of the blame, too. He missed too many tackles and took too many poor angles in the open field. He needs to be a lot more disciplined if he wants to revive his career this year.
No. 25: DE Kenyon Coleman
No. 24: TE Ben Watson
No. 23: CB Patrick Robinson
No. 22: OT Zach Strief
No. 21: RB Mark Ingram
No. 20: DT Brodrick Bunkley
No. 19: C Brian de la Puente
No. 18: LB Jonathan Vilma
No. 17: OLB Junior Galette
No. 16: S Malcolm Jenkins

B's FINAL First Holy Communion class was on Saturday 28th April. I can't believe that we are nearly at the end of his journey already. I am pleased to have been able to share the journey with you all. :o)
The final class centred around the children learning to take the bread and wine! Oh yes. With the help of chocolate buttons and ritz crackers to begin with, and then onto the real stuff. I was very proud of B - being the fussy little thing that he is, I thought there would be a real nightmare to get him to actually take this...but he was fine. Phew.
We did have a moment before we left for Church when he said to me, 'Mam shall I wear something non-violent?!' in reponse to last month him wanting to wear a skull and crossbones t-shirt!
I wanted to make sure that B said a proper thank you to each of the four ladies who had taken their time to lead the classes each month. B thought it was a good idea too, he likes giving gifts to people to make them happy, and so I asked him to write them each a little thank you card, and we got them a small pack of chocolates as a token gift.
They were each pleased with their gift and seemed really touched that we took the time to do this.
And so our journey on B's First Holy Communion is nearly over....however I do hope you will pop back to hear about his First Holy Communion - it is on the evening Mass of Saturday 19th May. I'll try and blog about it straightaway. :o) xx

Pictures from high above 12: Salaberry Island, St. Lawrence River
Here is yet another aerial shot I took during my flight to Montreal in July. It shows the northeast tip of Salaberry Island on St. Lawrence River; Montreal is just about 20 km to the further northeast. But don't let the orientation confuse you: the top of my picture is south.
Here is the picture from Google Earth oriented in the traditional way with north towards the top.

Recently I have begun experimenting with Lookit, a screen capture upload application. At this point I have not tried the upload capabilities. That is, my various screen captures are simply being saved locally.
When the screen capture is saved, a PNG is being created and, when viewed from Nautilus, an accurate thumbnail is displayed. However, when I attempt to view the file in an application such as the Image Viewer in Ubuntu, nothing is displayed. Additionally, when I tried to upload the file, photobucket.com choked. The Shotwell Photo Viewer also would not display the PNG. I did find that GIMP would display the image and could subsequently be edited.
What is the difference between the PNG produced by Lookit and PNGs produced by other applications? Is there a fix that allows the Lookit PNG to be viewed by all standard viewers?

Diners at a branch of the restaurant chain famous for its spicy peri-peri chicken got a shock when the Prime Minister walked in.
11:54, UK, Friday 09 May 2014
Europe and big business takeovers may be the pressing issues of the day but David Cameron was confronted with another crunch decision on a trip to Nando's - how hot would he go?
In what may have been a bid to show the Prime Minister following the coalition mantra of "we are all in this together", Mr Cameron made a visit to the Bristol branch of the popular restaurant chain famous for its spicy peri-peri chicken.
He is reported to have opted for the hot, which according to Nando's "peri-ometer" is "eye-wateringly fiery" and "for serious chilli fiends only."
Mr Cameron, wearing an open-collared black shirt with his sleeves rolled up, may have been looking to put some fire in his belly as he hit the election campaign trail.
His unexpected visit shocked diners who took snaps of the PM and posted them on social media.
Among the surprised customers was Becky Smith, who Mr Cameron stopped to pose for a selfie with.
Along with the picture, she tweeted: "Snapapolitician lol".
Another Twitter user, Melissa Bennett, posted a picture of Mr Cameron looking across the restaurant as other diners took photos.
She tweeted: "Oh my days, in Nandos and David Cameron walks in."
Her friend Hollie Buckle also tweeted a picture and added: "I knew there was a reason I dragged Melissa Bennett to Nandos. David Cameron only went and turned up!!!"

Glenville Mom and Boyfriend Arrested on Child Neglect Charges
Written by Nicole Porter
Last updated on January 02, 2013 @ 6:52PM
Created on January 02, 2013 @ 6:35PM
A Glenville mother and her boyfriend were charged with child neglect over the holiday season after a little girl was found alone at a convenience store.
Glenville Police were called to a Go-Mart last month after someone found a little girl with just a sweatshirt on outside the store. The girl walked there after she was left alone with her brother and she thought he left.
The girl's mother, 39-year-old Barbara Wilson, told police she left her daughter in the care of her 12-year-old son while her boyfriend, 41-year-old Donald Skinner, drove her to a friend's house.
When police checked out the house, there was no heat and trash was everywhere.

On March 10th, 2008 CNN reported that, "A vast array of pharmaceuticals -- including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones -- have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans." The drugs are entering our drinking water through human and animal bodies (use your imagination - I don't want to have to spell it out for you) or from people throwing away / flushing old pharmaceuticals.
Given these findings we have a few options: 1) We can take Amy Poehler of Saturday Night Lives' advice and freebase our Brita filters. 2) We can give unused medication to organizations that use them to save lives. 3) We can find responsible manners to dispose of expired medications other than flushing them down the toilet.
Option 1 requires me to take apart my Brita filter so it's no good - On to option 2...
The Health Equity Project (HEP), established in 1986, strives to provide quality health care to socially marginalized populations in countries throughout the world. If you can think back to some of the more miserable illnesses in your life and the suffering you would have experienced without even a basic pain , then you will begin to understand the magnitude of the anguish this organization alleviates. HEP recognized that millions of people die in developing countries every year from treatable diseases. Children's small bodies are the most vulnerable. According to UNICEF, "Every year an estimated 9.7 million children under the age of five die from largely preventable causes. [They] die because they lack access to basic services." These services include access to drugs that treat diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and HIV/AIDS. Many of the same drugs we are guilty of cavalierly pitching in the garbage.
Health Equity Project accepts antibiotics, anti-malarials, pain-relievers, HIV/AIDS anti-retrovirals, Diflucan, and flucanazole. Pack them up quick and ship them away before they expire because international and local laws prevent HEP from shipping dead medicine. Unfortunately, because transportation costs are expensive, they cannot accept medications other than those listed. These medications could be the difference between life and death for people in countries like Ghana , Gambia , or Uganda where a small infection can quickly turn into a deadly disease.
Ship unexpired medicines to:
Health Equity Project
61 Jane St., Suite 1E New York, NY 10014
The organization requests that you, "Please leave labeling in place, although you are free to remove any personally identifying information such as your name and address."
Another non-profit trying to balance the inequity of medical care for impoverished populations through use of recycled medicine is RAMP USA. RAMP (Recycled AIDS Medicine Program) gathers unused HIV medicines from individuals, health professionals and community groups. These medications are put to use by organizations overseas like AID for AIDS, Center for AIDS Services (Zimbabwe), and Siempre Unidos (Honduras).
The group's website says, "RAMP accepts all HIV medications and associated drugs used to treat HIV-related conditions." Go here to learn more about making donations.
If you do have expired medication or drugs that do not fit into one of the recycle categories, call your pharmacy and ask if they accept unused medication for proper disposal. The U.S. drug store chain CVS will take unused medication so it can be disposed of by a hazardous waste facility. Always call ahead to your local pharmacy to check if they accept old medication for proper disposal and if they don't, insist that they start a program soon.
It's important to consider that the medication you flush down the toilet today might be force-fed to you through your municipal water supply tomorrow.

The ultra-marathon Badwater 135 still carries its name even though the route no longer passes anywhere close to Badwater Basin, the race's namesake. Earlier this year, the National Park Service decided to study the safety of the Badwater Ultra and other extreme sporting events within park boundaries. The study is estimated to take about a year to complete, meaning that all extreme events have to be put on hold. Or changed. The Badwater 135 changed its course.
As Cheryl Chipman, the Park Service spokesperson, told Southern California Public Radio, no major event prompted this study to take shape, but concerns for safety are becoming more prevalent as the event grows in popularity. In fact, there have never been any major injuries since the origin of the run in 1987, Chris Kostman, head of AdventureCorps, one of the event sponsors, told the LA Times. If anything, it draws more visitors to the area, be it support teams and/or spectators. Maybe they are the ones needing medical attention due to their lack of training in the 116F average mid-July temperatures?
This year's course has been modified quite a bit. Instead of starting at Badwater Basin, the lowest place in the United States, then climbing to Lone Pine and the Mount Whitney Portal, the route will now start in Lone Pine and take several dead-end arms in which runners will simply have to turn around and run back the way they came. Runners will climb a cumulative 19000ft instead of 13000ft.
To get an idea of what it takes to run the Badwater 135, watch the documentary about the 2000 race, Running on the Sun.
