Anishinabek News (Voices)
To produce a newspaper and related publications designed to foster pride and share knowledge about Anishinabek culture, goals, and accomplishments. Anishinabek News was established in 1988 and publishes 11,000 copies monthly. It was designed to foster pride and share knowledge about Anishinabek current affairs, culture, goals and accomplishments.
History of the Anishinabek News
Each month the Anishinabek News is distributed compliments of the Union of Ontario Indians to citizens of the Anishinabek Nation. It is also circulated to universities, colleges, friendship and health centres, First Nations across Canada, and by individual subscriptions both nationally and internationally. Readers are invited to submit letters, articles, and photos for publication. All submissions are reviewed for publication based on priority of interest and edited for clarity of thought, taste, brevity and legal implications. Remuneration will be paid for submissions approved in advance by the editor.
The Anishinabek Nation established the Union of Ontario Indians (UOI) as its secretariat in 1949. The UOI is a political advocate and secretariat to 39 member First Nations across Ontario.
The Anishinabek Nation territory encompasses First Nations along the north shore of Lake Nipigon, the north shore of Lake Huron, Manitoulin Island, east to the Ottawa River valley, and through the south central part of Ontario to the Chippewas of Aamjiwnaang First Nation.
Tribal groups represented within the Nation include Odawa, Ojibway, Pottawatomi, Delaware, Chippewa, Algonquin and Mississauga. The 55,000 citizens of the Anishinabek Nation represent about one-third of the total First Nation population in Ontario.
Launched in 1988, the Anishinabek News is a tabloid-format newspaper designed to inform Anishinabek Nation citizens about Union of Ontario Indians' initiatives and activities, as well as provide a sampling of Indigenous current affairs from around the globe. About one-tenth of the 11,000-copy press run is distributed to businesses, government offices, media organizations, and paying non-Native subscribers.
The monthly newspaper has no full-time employees, and is produced by the Communications Unit of the Union of Ontario Indians out of the central office in North Bay.

PC PowerZone has reviewed a couple of 550 watt PSU's, the Starnet 550 and the Antec TruePower 550 with some interesting results!
What's so important about a computer's power supply then? Well, a good PSU (Power Supply Unit) can make the difference between a stable and unstable machine, a highly overclocked machine can soon fail with a poor PSU and a hard-worked, 24/7 machine will soon cause a poor PSU to give up and die.More information at PC PowerZone

What Not To Do After Getting Engaged
By: | Posted: 05/06/2011
Planning a wedding takes superhuman amounts of energy—and time—so why not cut yourself some slack? Consider a one-stop shop, known in this biz as a catering hall. They're wildly popular in our smaller sister city, Milwaukee, but our fair Twin Cities boast a healthy number of these halls as well.
At Mpls.St.Paul Weddings, we hear from oodles of couples who've chosen this route and loved the package deal. Catering and event halls won't land your big day in the pages of InStyle Weddings, but they won't break your budget either.
One most famous local institution is Prom Catering, a weddings (and prom, natch) powerhouse since 1941. Based at the Oakdale Prom Center, the company boasts a large venue and event catering company all into one. From non-profit functions to weddings, the Twin Cities hot spot has hosted and served up delicious custom dishes for seven decades.
Opened in 1941 by Harry Given, Prom Catering fed the masses that flocked to the popular Prom Ballroom dance hall on University Avenue in St. Paul. Alas, the old stomping grounds went the way of the drive-in movie theater, but brothers Tom and Bill Given carried on the local catering tradition on a much larger scale. Harry's sons have expanded their services to an array of off-site events, including golf tournaments nationwide. Prom also catered almost 1,000 events around the Twin Cities in 2010.
Newlyweds Stephanie and Corey Carlson are still talking about their big day at Prom, some six months later. The couple says it took about a year to plan their entire wedding, but just weeks to pick the event center. "We thought about renting a hall, like a VFW, but decided to go with the Prom Center because it was food and venue in one," Stephanie says. "It seemed too hard to try and find both a hall and a caterer."
Prom offers wedding planning services to stressed-out brides-to-be, including menu options and serving style tips. The company provides linen tablecloths and napkins, an open bar if requested, and other extras. Staging and table centerpieces are included.
Stephanie noted that they appreciated the customizable menu options: The Carlsons selected a custom buffet of stuffed chicken breast, beef tenderloin with a blueberry demi-glaze, roasted red potatoes, green beans, and a mixed green salad with a potpourri of cranberries, blue cheese, pecans, and vinaigrette dressing.
"The service on the day was very good, and I felt like we were listened to," Stephanie says. "It's been six months since we were married, and we're still getting compliments on the food and reception."

The General Academic Pediatrics Section continues to expand its research enterprise, with the addition of new research faculty and an increase in federal funding. Immunization delivery research has been a major focus for the last ten years, involving Drs. Stephen Berman, Robert Brayden, Simon Hambidge, and Allison Kempe; and our Section is a recognized leader in this area nationally. Over the past three years we have received seven federal grants in the area of immunization delivery, examining attitudes of physicians nationally regarding vaccine policy issues, adolescent vaccine delivery, and school-based delivery of both influenza and adolescent vaccines. One of these was a prestigious Challenge grant from the NIH.
Preventive dental care for children has been a growing area of focus, involving Drs. Patricia Braun, Allison Kempe, and Elaine Morrato and there have been three grants funded in this area. Health care for children with special needs is also an area of growing interest, involving Drs. Stille, Kelminson, and Fox. Dr. Fox has submitted an AHRQ Career Development award in the area of shared decision-making for such children.
Our research in quality improvement also continues to grow - in the areas of asthma management (Drs. Maya Bunik and Allison Kempe) in collaboration with the Pulmonology Section, and in mental health care within the pediatric setting (Drs. Maya Bunik and Allison Kempe) in collaboration with the Department of Psychiatry - have received grant funding support. Telephone care and self-triage over the internet continue to be a focus for several faculty (Drs. Barton Schmitt, Maya Bunik, and Allison Kempe). Our new focus in obesity prevention (Drs. Maya Bunik, Christina Suh, and Allison Kempe) has resulted in the completion of several projects and the submission of two new grants.
General Academic Pediatrics faculty are active in a variety of research areas.
Dr. Edwin Asturias conducts clinical and epidemiological research on the efficacy and safety of vaccines for children in developing countries. Dr. Stephen Berman is involved in access to health care and immunization services delivery research. Dr. Maya Bunik's interests include breastfeeding support for low-income women, quality improvement in asthma management, and primary care mental health services and after-hours care/telephone triage. Dr. Ellen Elias studies the physiological effects of the cholesterol deficiency seen in Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome and is also interested in caring for children with osteogenesis imperfecta. Dr. David Fox is interested in quality of care and medical decision-making regarding special needs children. Dr. Karen Kelminson's interests include quality of care and improving racial/ethnic care disparities for children with special needs. Dr. Allison Kempe directs the Children's Outcomes Research Program, and her research interests include immunization delivery, telephone care, and health care access in low-income children. Dr. Steven Poole's research is focused on issues of access to care for children with Medicaid insurance. Dr. Barton Schmitt's current primary research interest is pediatric telephone triage and advice. Dr. Christopher Stille's research focuses on improving the process of care for children with special needs, especially the interactions between families, primary care and specialist clinicians, and community practice-based research. Dr. Christina Suh's research interests are the development and evaluation of interventions to decrease childhood obesity.

The FSQ-106ED is a 4.2" aperture f/5 (530mm focal length) four-lens photo/visual system using two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements. Based on the classic two-doublet Petzval design, the FSQ-106ED takes full advantage of the latest exotic glass types to produce levels of correction for coma, astigmatism, field curvature, secondary spectrum, spherical aberration, and spherochromatism that are unsurpassed – even better than their legendary fluorite scopes.
This Telescope's Optical System . . .
Apochromatic modified Petzval refractor optical system: 4.2" aperture f/5 (530mm focal length) four-lens fully-multicoated system using two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements. The modified Petzval design uses a true apochromatic doublet objective lens with an ED element to gather the light. For most telescope manufacturers, this would be enough. But Takahashi goes a step further to perfect your observing and imaging experience. There is a second widely air-spaced ED doublet within the focuser drawtube itself. This second doublet optimizes the optical wavefront from the objective lens to eliminate any residual astigmatism. It also acts as a field flattener for wide field astrophotography. The result is a very wide and flat field with high contrast images that are without any hint of lateral color. Color correction has been extended to 1000nm, well into the infrared, to produce non-bloated photographic star images Large Image Circle: At prime focus the 88mm image circle covers a huge swathe of the sky measuring 9.5° in diameter. The large image circle will fully illuminate any 35mm, 645, or 6x7 medium format film camera; any vacuum back roll film holder; or any of the large format commercial grade CCD cameras available now or in the near future. Light fall-off is minor. The field is 90% illuminated at a 53mm diameter (a 35mm negative and the largest currently available SBIG Research Series chip measure only 44mm across their diagonals). It is still 67% illuminated at the edges of the 88mm image circle, an illumination that is easily compensated for with a CCD imager by a simple flat field. Long Back Focus: The generous back focus of 178mm allows the user to attach a variety of imaging packages, binoviewers, 2" star diagonals, and many other visual devices. The 178mm back focus has been designed to handle the ever-larger image trains of CCD imaging experts – electric focusers or temperature compensated focusers, flip mirror systems, filter wheels, adaptive optics systems, etc. Optional Focal Extender: If you need a slower system, an optional 1.6x 2" Extender-QE designed specifically for the new FSQ-106ED (#XTND-NQ) converts the f/5 scope to a more high magnification-friendly f/8 system. It provides a 44mmm image circle with a 3° field of view.
This Telescope's Mechanical System . . .
Compact Optical Tube: The all-aluminum 125mm diameter scope body is finished in ivory, with black trim, and is very solidly built. Knife-edge baffles within the tube block off-axis light for high contrast and dark sky backgrounds. The tube length of only 16.7" with the dew shield retracted allows the new "Q" to be highly airline-transportable. Even when the dew shield is extended the total length is only 20.5". The FSQ-106ED uses a special optional tube holder with offset plate (#106TH) designed specifically to mount this scope on an equatorial mount and balance it properly. Focuser: The focuser is a new ultra-duty 4" rack-and-pinion design with both 2" and 1.25" eyepiece adapters. The focuser has a silky-smooth motion and oversize knobs that make it easy to achieve sharp focus, even at very high powers. The focuser includes a 10:1 ratio Micro Edge fine focuser for critical high magnification and photographic focusing. Camera angle adjuster: The focuser includes a new built-in camera angle adjuster/rotator that will carry a 5kg (11 lb.) load to handle the weight of the new large chip CCD cameras and their associated accessories. Dew shield: The optical tube has a retractable self-storing dew shield. A thumbscrew locks the dew shield in place, either when extended or when retracted. The dew shield serves the dual purpose of retarding the formation of dew during long observing sessions and improving the photo/visual contrast, much as a camera lens shade does.
is the formula that we use with all of the telescopes we carry, so that
our published specs will be consistent from aperture to aperture, from
manufacturer to manufacturer. Some telescope makers may use other
unspecified methods to determine the limiting magnitude, so their
published figures may differ from ours.
Keep in mind that this
formula does not take into account light loss within the scope, seeing
conditions, the observer's age (visual performance decreases as we get
older), the telescope's age (the reflectivity of telescope mirrors
decreases as they get older), etc. The limiting magnitudes specified by
manufacturers for their telescopes assume very dark skies, trained
observers, and excellent atmospheric transparency – and are therefore
rarely obtainable under average observing conditions. The photographic
limiting magnitude is always greater than the visual (typically by two
The longer the focallength, the higher the magnification and the narrower the field of viewwith any given eyepiece. The shorter the focal length, the lower themagnification and the wider the field of view with the same eyepiece.
Fast f/4 to f/5 focal ratios are generally
best for lower power wide field observing and deep space photography.
Slow f/11 to f/15 focal ratios are usually better suited to higher power
lunar, planetary, and binary star observing and high power photography.
Medium f/6 to f/10 focal ratios work well with either.
An f/5
system can photograph a nebula or other faint extended deep space object
in one-fourth the time of an f/10 system, but the image will be only
one-half as large. Point sources, such as stars, are recorded based on
the aperture, however, rather than the focal ratio – so that the larger
the aperture, the fainter the star you can see or photograph, no matter
what the focal ratio.
Dawes' limit only
applies to point sources of light (stars). Smaller separations can be
resolved in extended objects, such as the planets. For example,
Cassini's Division in the rings of Saturn (0.5 arc seconds across), was
discovered using a 2.5" telescope – which has a Dawes' limit of 1.8 arc
The ability of a telescope to resolve to Dawes' limit is
usually much more affected by seeing conditions, by the difference in
brightness between the binary star components, and by the observer's
visual acuity, than it is by the optical quality of the telescope.

With hunting season to start soon, Union Pacific Railroad is cautioning hunters to stay away from rail lines.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said Wednesday that wildlife like to feed along the borders of freshly harvested fields, and often those areas include railroad lines.
Union Pacific says it is trespassing to walk on railroad property. A spokesman says that locomotives and railcars overhang rail lines by about three feet, which can pose a danger to someone walking along the tracks.
The company says that last year 411 people died and 361were injured while trespassing on railroad property.
Union Pacific is planning a public information campaign to remind hunters to stay off its tracks.

Walworth welcomes residents to new Town Hall
Voters will cast ballots at new location
March 31, 2011
Walworth Township — The new Town Hall is open for business — just in time for the April election.
The new Town Hall opened for business on Monday.
As of Monday, the town's offices moved to its new Brick Church Road location, which features a larger meeting room, offices for town staff and a larger garage for town vehicles.
During the April 5 Spring election, town voters will cast their ballots at the new facility. Town Chairman Joe Abell said instructions and directions will be posted at the old building to help redirect voters who aren't aware of the change.
The old building, fittingly located on Town Hall Road, was sold for $200,000 and is scheduled to close April 1. When town officials pitched the idea for the building to residents, they stated they planned on selling the old building for $200,000.
Abell said the new facility features "green" lights and heating and cooling systems, which will help reduce future energy costs.
On April 13, 2010, during the town's annual meeting, residents voted 89-3 to spend up to $740,000 to build a new Town Hall.
Talks of a new facility began after Kikkoman Foods agreed to donate 7 acres of land near its plant for the building.
On Thursday, Abell and Road Superintendent Mike Austin walked through the new facility with a Lake Geneva Regional News reporter.
Abell and Austin said they expected the project costs to come in within budget. However, the town is still waiting for some final numbers.
"I'm pretty confident we are within our budget," August said.
Overall, Abell said he was pleased with the new facility and the work the contractors have done.
"We have a very short punch list left," Abell said.
Austin said another layer of blacktop is needed for the asphalt, a sign needs to be put in front of the building and landscaping is needed on the grounds.
"We have some local people who are donating trees and labor," Austin said.
Walking through the new meeting room, Abell said this location provides a larger and more professional area for town business.
The old building couldn't seat large crowds, but the new facility can accommodate up to 85 people. With the old Town Hall, meetings that brought large audiences were moved to Walworth Elementary School.
The building has four offices, one for the town's clerk and treasurer, one for the town chairman, one to be shared by the supervisors, one to be shared by the building assessor and inspector and one for the road superintendent, the town's only full-time employee.
Austin said his current desk is the end of a work bench.
"After 28 years I get an office," he said with a chuckle.
One of the reasons town officials wanted a new facility was because the street department didn't have enough room to store its vehicles.
With the old facility, town vehicles were stored at farms throughout the township during off-seasons. The town has two garages, one with three bays and one with two.
Austin and Abell said one of the benefits to storing the vehicles on-site is maintenance work can be performed during the off-seasons.
In the garage, there is an upstairs record-keeping room, which will store town records that date back to the 1880s.
Abell said the room is climate-controlled, which will help preserve the records.
In the storage room, space also has been dedicated for the use of the local Historical Society and the American Legion.
The new facility also includes a large salt shed. In the past, the town purchased salt from the county as it needed. In that situation, if the county ran out of supplies, so did the town.
Austin said the new shed should hold enough salt for a winter season, even, as it did Wednesday night, enter into spring.
Abell said he hopes to have an open house for the new facility sometime this summer.
In other news, the towns annual meeting is scheduled for April 12 at 6:30 p.m.

We Grow our Own Coffee!
We are proud to grow our own coffee on six, beautiful, bio-diverse, organic coffee farms. They are all 100% organic coffee farms: 3 in Panama and 3 in Mexico, with four new farm purchases planned. In total, we currently have about 900 hectares of land. About 600 is mixed shade grown coffee planting and about 300 preserved native forests.
Interestingly, the fact that we are growing our own coffee on biodiverse shade coffee farms makes us a carbon negative company (per an audit we had of our carbon footprint in 2007). So if you've been shopping locally to avoid carbon emissions, you can feel good knowing your Rogers coffee is actually improving carbon conditions in the atmosphere. Click here to read more about our negative carbon footprint.
Finca Santa Barbara - Our 1st Farm in Panama
In 1999, we made a commitment to our longstanding philosophy blending sustainable coffee cultivation and social responsibility. In the Boquete region of Panama, we purchased 105 acres of property that was used to graze cattle for the past 80 years and renamed it Finca Santa Barbara (after Rogers Family Company, co-founder, Barbara Rogers.)
Although we faced a landscape stripped bare of almost all plants, we refurbished the soil (using rich compost created via vermiculture (worm composting), planted 82,200 coffee trees, became a certified organic farm, and produced our first harvest in 2003.
We also reforested at least five hectares of the property with native trees that once flourished before the cattle arrived almost a century ago. Together with our farm's small area of surviving old growth forest, these new trees add up to 25 acres of original habitat to be preserved forever in a natural state. Interestingly, the local village of Jaramillo reported to us that their supply of clean spring water reemerged where previously it was dried up.
Our Coffee Farms in Panama
Finca Santa Barbara: [Shown to the right.] This was the first proof to us that a parcel reclaimed from barren fields can be made over into its original rainforest, grow great quality trees, and yield a superb coffee. Indeed, now many government and agricultural education groups are touring the farm to learn more about how, according to the World Bank, "When grown properly, coffee is one of the rare human industries that can actually restore the Earths health."
Finca Las Brujas: Meaning, "The Witches," the "Las Brujas" farm is fifteen hectares of certified organic coffee, three hectares of organic tea, and two hectares of experimental products such as exotic spices for our tea products.
Finca Santa Maria: Finca Santa Maria is a large 300 acre farm, and we are in the process of making improvement throughout the farm from both an agricultural as well as social/economic development standpoint. It's in the Boquete region of Panama.
Our Coffee Farms in Mexico
Rancho Quilco: We purchased this 150 hectare farm, located in Chiapas Mexico, recently and have converted it to organic. It's in an area called "Sinai," where we also built a school in partnership with Costco in Mexico through our innovative Community Aid program. This is the farm where we'll be planting the first trees in our 100-Year Tree Planting" Program.
Rancho La Paz: This is a 400 acre farm in the beautiful area of Chiapas that's converting to organic certification.
Finca Peru Paris: This is a 500 acre certified organic farm - also in Chiapas.

Predictions, Team Players of the Week
Monday, October 11, 2:00 p.m. PT
To the picks:
1. Nate Costa will have a career-long rushing attempt.
Correct. Costa's wheels are often undervalued and WSU's struggles stopping the run made his 43-yard run seem almost - dare I say - predictable.
2. Oregon will score within its first seven touches of the football.
Incorrect. It took a ridiculous 13 plays (in 4 minutes and 14 seconds!) to cover the 80 yards necessary for the touchdown. No style points for that.
3. The point-a-minute Ducks are back.
Incorrect. Things were going smoothly with 36 points through the first 34:51, but a single touchdown over the final 25:09 killed this pick.
4. Cliff Harris intercepts a pass for the third straight game.
Incorrect. He was close on a couple of breakups, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades..
5. Remene Alston Jr. or Andres Reed sets a career high in rushing yards.
Incorrect. I assumed the second half of this game would resemble the second half of last year's meeting with WSU, but the Cougs are most definitely improved and they forced UO to keep the first stringers on the field for the duration. The 2010 Ducks are probably one of the rare teams that can put the ball on the floor three times and come away with a 20-point win. Don't expect the next road team to do that to leave Pullman with a victory.
Weekly mark: 1-4 (.200) • Season mark: 20-11 (.645)
The game has been played, the film has been studied, and the Oregon coaching staff has determined the team's top performers for Game 6. Following is a list of last week's game ball winners:
Offense: Nate Costa (13-15-0, 151 yds, TD passing; 8-84, TD rushing)
Defense: Casey Matthews (interception, 1.0 TFL, 5 tackles)
Special Teams: Cliff Harris (67-yard punt return for a TD)
Offensive Scout: Dane Ebanez
Defensive Scout: Keloni Kamalani
Special Teams Scout: Marcus Davis

On Sunday, Aug. 3, Rev. Lois Blakey-Paige, pastor of New Canaan Worship Center in Richmond, Virginia gave the congregation tools to eliminate worry. This was in light of the upcoming 40th church anniversary and revival. In fact, Pastor Paige entitled her sermon, "A Pre-Anniversary to Remember" based on Matthew 6:25-34.
She introduced her sermon by saying so much is happening in the world today that we can't know what to believe. There are killings and kidnapping and chaos all over the world. If you listen to the news and you are not grounded, certainly it will make you depressed. Also, many of us today are worried about finances, our health, our hurts, our habits and our hangups. Jesus addressed these issues in the text that is part of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus preached this at the beginning of His ministry because He knew He Himself would go through these things.
The pastor gave three major things she wanted the congregation to remember about this text: the consideration, the preparation and the summation.
First, the consideration is that we must consider who we are serving since we cannot serve two masters. We cannot serve God and mammoth. Mammoth is anything that takes your focus off of God. It is anything that keeps your attention and your time. In the text, Matthew tells us "Take no thought for what you will eat or drink or what you will wear." In other words, don't even think about it.
Consider what you think about and capture the thought when it is a negative one that will take you some place you don't want to go. Pastor Paige suggested when bad thoughts come into your mind, use a prayer cube in your left hand that will bring you back into the now.
Here's the preparation. When we become obsessed with our thoughts and rehearse them over and over in our mind, we need to capture those thoughts. Prepare in advance when you know those thoughts are coming.
Why can't you get rid of some things that you focus on? Many times we confide in things in our minds. That's when we need to seek the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is already in our midst.
Pastor Paige concluded her sermon by repeating the words of Jesus when He told us do not worry about tomorrow because tomorrow has its own trouble. In order words, stay in the now. Take one day at a time. Depend on Jesus. Cast your care on Him because not only are you valuable, but He cares for you. When your struggles come up, look to the cross where Jesus died for you. That will put things in perspective for you.

PCC in the News
News: Men's Basketball 2013-14 Preview: Lancers Athletic, Defensive-Minded
The Pasadena City College men's basketball team and head coach Michael Swanegan felt it was time to change up the program's philosophy especially in practice. In recent seasons, the Lancers had favored an up-tempo offense that sometimes led to inadequate transition defense and sloppy play.
So the Lancers decided not only to recruit a team deep in athleticism, but one that could focus on defense. PCC employed its fierce man-to-man defense on Thursday in its 2013-14 season opener and left the first round of the Ventura College We Play Hard Tournament with a 61-38 victory over Los Angeles Valley College.
The Lancers (1-0) will face host Ventura on Friday night in a 7 p.m. championship semifinals tip-off.
Only two players return from last year's 8-18 team in 6-foot-6 power forward Bryce Clifton (8.3 points and 3.5 rebound averages) and point guard Jeffrey Dockett (10.8 points and 3.8 assists per game as a freshman). PCC also returns guard Rashad Smith from the Lancers' 16-12 team of 2011-12. A key transfer is center Taj Spencer, a 6-7 post player who played two seasons ago at Mt. San Antonio College under then South Coast Conference champion head coach and now PCC assistant Criss Freeman.
Spencer picked up a double-double v. LA Valley with team highs in points (13) and rebounds (10). Clifton got the Lancers going with four straight baskets that opened a 13-3 early lead for PCC. The Lancers would end up leading 35-17 by halftime and never were threatened. Pasadena forced 14 steals overall, three by Dockett.
"We had players who were too complacent a year ago," Swanegan said. "Some felt they were owed a starting spot and our reserve players didn't want to work to take away the starters' spots. This year, players are going to have to earn their playing time based on how hard they play in practice. We need to establish that old-fashioned work ethic to succeed."
To open the season, Dockett, Clifton and Spencer have been joined in the starting lineup by guard Brandon Joseph, who played a few years ago as an All-Conference wide receiver in football at Long Beach City College, and Monrovia High product and shooting guard Jonathan Henderson (All-Rio Hondo League pick). Henderson scored just four points in his college debut, but was able to dish out a team-high six assists.
The Lancers are deep in talent that includes local freshmen players in guard guard Adrian Miles (Pasadena High), guard Jevon Shields (South Pasadena HS, All-Rio Hondo League First Team selection), and point guard Marsalis Ellison (Blair High, All-Rio Hondo League selection). Other first-year standouts are guard Kenta Iima (from Japan), guard Kalen Verhoeven (Burroughs High, All-Pacific League honorable mention), 6-7 center Faruk Oyalade (Nigeria), guard Curtis Moore (from Houston, Texas), and 6-4 forward Brandon Croom (Walnut High).
Shields and Iima are players that have impressed coaches in practices.
"We have a deeper team than in previous seasons," Swanegan said. "We don't have to force minutes out of our top players like we did last year. This seems to be a group with some potential with a good blend of sophomores and freshmen."
Besides the addition of Freeman, Swanegan returns his long-time assistant Jesse Ellis and Hosie Ward to his coaching staff.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 18 August 1851; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18510818-TC-JAC-01; CL 26: 130-131
Malvern, 18 Augt, 1851—
My dear Brother,
Here are the 14 penny Stamps for the sheets you are to send. I have despatched my Mother's Book today; and this I hope will be the end of these burbles.1 I have not yet written my American despatch, or decided what to write,—indeed I never thot of it all day till just now, when dinner is momently expected. So that must stand over. If you put the Leader in the P.O. last night, it will come this evg; but that is hardly any matter.

Poor Wm Hamilton: his death gave me a tragic shock; and still dwells painfully with me.3 He was a good friend to all of us; and a clear, wholesome, sincere and honest man. It often struck me, in late years, he was very far from happy: who knows whether we ought to lament for his death, and not rather regard it as a deliverance and eternal relief to him? Eheu, eheu!— — Shall you have anything to do, of your own, in the settlement of his affairs? I mean in reference to Alick and your Loan. If so, you might ask Alick for the American Debt Bond (Paper of Coupons or whatever they call it) which is mine.4 It wd be better if I had the wretched document, tho' it is worth nothing at prest.— Enough, dear Brother.

Express: City chasing Valencia starlet
- 19 November 2013 09:08
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
Roll up, roll up for your daily dose of transfer speculation…
We begin with claims that City will go toe-to-toe with QPR in the race to sign Valencia starlet Carles Gil – that is, if a report in the Daily Express is to be believed.
The story also mentions another (as yet) unnamed English club that is showing interest in the young Spaniard, who is catching the eye while on loan at La Liga side Elche this season.
Writes Ben Jefferson: "The 20-year-old has impressed both at Elche and with Spain's Under-21s this season and reports in that country suggest that Gil is being closely watched by both City and QPR.
"Gil will remain at Elche into the end of this season completing the second of a two year agreement but his contract with Valencia runs until June 2016.
"However, Gil's release clause currently stands at just £6.7m and that has alerted a host of Spanish clubs as well as City and QPR to the possibility of a bargain.
"Valencia president Amadeo Salvo insists that Gil won't be leaving the Mestalla despite Los Che's financial problems.
"Salvo said: "Carles Gil is ours and next year he will play in our first team.""
That clears that up then….
Elsewhere, with recent reports Leo Messi was unhappy at Barcelona and a move to the Blue side of Manchester could be a possibility, it's perhaps the least surprising story of the day that the Argentine has issued a swift denial.
The Barcelona star is currently facing a spell on the sidelines with an injury, and the international break has served as the perfect time for paper talk to stir up speculation about his future.
Hannah Duncan explains in the Metro: "The rumours suggested Messi was unhappy with the pressure of being forced to play through injuries at the Nou Camp, resulting in him suffering with a string of muscular issues this season and most recently being ruled out for two months with a hamstring problem.
"But Messi denied reports he has been pushed to the limit, indicating any move to Manchester City or the Premier League is not on the cards.
"'It's not good to pick up an injury, but I wouldn't have done anything differently,' he said.
"'I'm not the only player who plays a lot of games in a season. Everyone playing in La Liga does the same.'"
Finally, with City's strikers hitting the headlines for all the right reasons, and competition for places hotting up, reports have emerged that John Guidetti could look for regular first team football elsewhere.
The EDS striker is still making his comeback from injury and was an unused sub for Sweden u21s on Friday afternoon, although will hope to play a part in today's fixture against Malta.
Stoke and Sunderland have been named as interested parties for his signature, together with clubs across the continent - according to the Daily Star.
David Wright reports: "The 21-year-old has been sent out on loan three times since arriving at the Sky Blues and especially impressed in his latest stint at Feyenoord in the 2011/12 season where he scored 20 goals for the Dutch outfit.
"Guidetti's future in the Premier League looked promising after his stint in Holland, but he has since spent 18 months on the sidelines and remains uncapped for City's first team.
"A host of European clubs are said to be interested in the hot prospect, with the Potters and Black Cats set to take advantage of his need of first-team football."
Remember, this is just paper talk and no ins or outs are confirmed until you read it here on mcfc.co.uk!
That's about it for today, no doubt more of the same tomorrow…

The final two weeks of the Greater Metro Conference season are filled with many road blocks for Sussex Hamilton to navigate in order to capture a conference title.
After Friday, the Chargers are looking to turn those road blocks into dominoes, with the linchpin being a 60-36 win at Wauwatosa East.
Sussex Hamilton now moves to 11-0 in the conference (18-1 overall), a full five games ahead of Tosa East at 6-5 (10-8), eliminating the Red Raiders from contention. The Chargers have two games next week against sub .500 teams before finishing the regular season with back to back road games against contenders Brookfield Central and Marquette.
Against the Chargers
Tosa East won four straight entering Friday's game, almost matching the five-game winning streak the Red Raiders accomplished to open the season. Unfortunately the season was plagued by a four-game losing streak as well, leaving the Red Raiders shy of a conference championship but with an imminent and solid top-half finish.
Charger scoring machine junior guard Brady Ellingson didn't get going offensively until the second half against Tosa East, but the timing was right to help the Chargers pull away from the pesky Red Raiders. Ellingson scored seven of his game-high 16 points in the third quarter, helping Sussex Hamilton to an 18-point lead after three quarters, 43-25.
The second half scoring burst was supplemented by fellow junior guard Austin Kendziorski. Kendziorski piled in a couple of treys in the third, adding to his 15 total points and notching his third double-digit scoring performance of the year. It was also Kendziorski that kept Sussex Hamilton afloat early.
"With a lot of the attention being on Brady it feels good to knock down a few shots early on," Kendziorski said. "Making those shots helps Brady get some open looks as the game goes on."
Tosa East played a great first quarter, with team defense setting the early tone against Ellingson and Nate Moore facilitating the offense on every possession. After three lead changes, the Red Raiders maintained a one-point advantage, closing out the first frame by holding Ellingson to just one basket on four tries.
Moore dominated the offense for the Red Raiders, not with his scoring but with his passing. The senior point guard assisted all but one of the Tosa East field goals in the quarter and his ball handling created several more scoring opportunities for his teammates throughout the game. The combination of success on both ends left the Red Raiders ahead 8-7 after one period.
"When I can make good passes it gets my confidence going and helps the team out," Moore said. "It helps to get everyone playing unselfish."
The second quarter also started well for the Red Raiders as they extended the lead to three points before the Sussex Hamilton attack started gaining traction. Not surprisingly, it was the three-ball that got it going for the Chargers, but instead of the sharpshooting Ellingson, it was Kendziorski draining the long balls. Kendziorski found himself open for back-to-back three-pointers to first tie the game and then to send Sussex Hamilton ahead, 13-10.
Hamilton continued to solve the Tosa East zone the old fashioned way, simply starting to make some outside shots. Despite the continued closeouts from the Red Raiders, Kendziorski drilled another three from the quarter and Ellingson finally put another shot home on the final possession of the first half.
As Kendziorski led all scorers in the first half with nine points, Ellingson managed just six points on eight shots, as the Chargers pulled ahead 22-15 at halftime.
"We were trying to make other players beat us," Moore said. "Eventually we just had to adjust our defense from zone to man-to-man. They shot us out of that defense basically."
Tosa East was led by Anthony Carroll with 10 points and Ben Mihelich added eight. An amazing stat: Tosa East made it to the free-throw line once, as Carroll went 1-for-1.
Upsetting defeat
The Red Raiders were upset by West Allis Hale, 57-55, Tuesday on the road, so Tosa East now has to carry a two-game losing streak into Friday's game with Brookfield Central at East.
Hale took a 37-28 lead into halftime Tuesday, but then the Red Raiders went on a 20-6 run after halftime to take a 48-43 lead into the final period.
But the Huskies doubled up the score (14-7) and won a thriller to improve to 3-8 in GMC play.
Carroll scored 21 points to lead all scorers, as he was 4-for-5 from the free-throw line and tossed in three 3-pointers. Nate Moore added 11.
But Hale made the most of their points, as only four players scored: Noel Crabtree (20), Derrick Waller (14), Nick Sotiros (14) and Travis Balcerzak (eight).

How's that old joke go? Something about asking whether ignorance or apathy is the bigger problem, and the answer is, "I don't know and I don't care." Ha! That's always a knee-slapper — at least as far as political humor goes. But there apparently is nothing funny about the expected turnout for today's primary election in Clark County.
Yes, there is an election today. Ballots have been sent to voters in the cities of Vancouver, Battle Ground, Washougal and La Center, the Washougal School District, and the Clark County Fire & Rescue District. The problem is that not many of them have been sent back.
According to a story in Monday's edition of The Columbian, Elections Supervisor Cathie Garber was anticipating a turnout of between 17 and 18 percent of registered voters. And auditor Greg Kimsey predicted that turnout would reach no higher than 20 percent. Those numbers are distressing. In a nation built upon representative democracy, the opportunity to vote remains one of our most cherished rights.
You would never have such apathy in, say, Malta, where election turnout typically is above 90 percent. Or in many European countries, which boast of similar turnout. And then there is Zimbabwe, where about 55 percent of voters last week took part in the re-election of president Robert Mugabe — five years after the previous election was marred by intimidation and violence.
Of course, we jest in comparing elections in Zimbabwe to those in the United States. But we point to the vote in that African nation as an example of why we should be thankful for our electoral system. Sure, it's imperfect, but it remains the envy of much of the world.
Which brings us back to today's primary election. Traditionally, the year following a presidential election — such as this one — draws a low turnout for the primary. In 2009, the return in Clark County was 23 percent. Last year, a presidential-election year, Clark County's primary drew a turnout of 30 percent, ranking last among Washington's 39 counties.
In Monday's article in The Columbian, Kimsey postulated that the reason for the area's low turnout is that a large percentage of residents work in Oregon and feel disconnected from local politics — even though they pay taxes here. In addition, the Portland television stations offer little coverage of Clark County issues, adding to that disconnect.
But for those who are interested, The Columbian has provided endorsements for the Vancouver City Council positions on this year's ballot. We support:
• Galina Burley and Anne McEnerny-Ogle in the race for Position No. 3.
• Alishia Topper and Ty Stober in the race for Position No. 2.
• Incumbent Jack Burkman as the singularly qualified candidate in the race for Position No. 1.
For details on the reasoning behind those decisions, you can read our endorsement editorials at http://www.columbian.com/news/opinion/endorsements.
The Columbian will make single endorsements prior to the Nov. 5 general election, but for now we are more concerned with endorsing the need for citizens to make their voices heard.
Ballots will be counted if they are postmarked by today, or they can be dropped off at one of several locations, including: One block east of the Clark County Elections Office, 1408 Franklin St. in Vancouver; Battle Ground City Hall; La Center Community Center; Ridgefield Nazarene Church; and Washougal Community Center. To see the complete list, go to http://www.clarkvotes.org.
Apathy, after all, can be easily cured.

College Hockey:Air Force Takes Radisson Title
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Ryan Wiggins scored two goals, including an empty-netter in the final 40 seconds, to lead Air Force to a 4-2 win over Augsburg in the championship game of the fifth annual Radisson North Hockey Classic Saturday at the Academy's Cadet Ice Arena.
Air Force improved to 7-9 overall while Augsburg fell to 7-4.
After a scoreless first period, Wiggins scored 29 seconds into the second period with a power-play goal from Steve Mead and Brian Reaney. Mead took a shot from the point and Wiggins netted the rebound. Midway through the period, Cesky tied the game with his second goal of the tournament. Shawn Smith's shot was wide, but Cesky collected the puck in the slot and beat Falcon tender Mike Polidor.
Air Force then scored two goals in a 38-second span for a 3-1 advantage. Scott Zwiers won a faceoff and Berg buried a slapshot for his 15th goal of the season at the 11:13 mark of the second period. Spanky Leonard netted the eventual game-winner at 11:51 from Matt Bader. With great hustle, Bader chased down a loose puck in the corner and found Leonard in the slot for his fourth goal of the season.
Cesky brought the Auggies within one goal at the 12:57 mark of the third period. After picking up a loose puck in the neutral zone, he skated down the left wing and scored on a slapshot low, short side.
Augsburg pulled its goaltender with 35 seconds remaining and Wiggins scored an empty-netter from Justin Hamilton and Brian Reaney with 26 seconds left.
Air Force outshot Augsburg, 43-25, in the game and had a 35-19 advantage after two periods. The Falcons were 1-for-3 on the power play while Augsburg was 0-for-4. Augsburg goaltender Erik Young made 39 saves while Polidor made 23 for the Falcons.
Air Force won its own tournament for the third time in its five-year history and improved to 8-2 all-time in the tournament.
Berg, the Falcons' senior center and captain, was named the tournament's most valuable player. He had two goals and an assist in Friday's win over Wisconsin-Stout and added a goal in the win over Augsburg.
Zwiers (forward), Reaney (defenseman) and Polidor (goalie) were joined on the all-tournament team by Cesky (forward), Wisconsin-Stout forward Derek Nicholls and Augsburg defenseman Steve Belde.

The first problem with any swarms in Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 is that they are all ten-feet square. This means that all miniatures that are swarms are not as large as they should be, because 1) the sculptor probably got tired, and 2) it's a solid mass of costly plastic/metal to create the miniature. In short, most miniatures fall far short of being suitable for use in D&D.
NOTE: See comments below for clarification on swarms.
This spider swarm doesn't deviate from that formula. As a swarm, it's only 1-inch. But it's filled with cute spiders of all sorts, including one little spider piggybacking on a larger one. For a spider swarm, it's rather adorable.
Swarms this miniature can represent include fire spiders (Shadowdale: The Scouring of the Land), tomb spiders (Monster Manual 4), and regular spiders (Monster Manual).
Not particularly scary but a fun sculpt nonetheless. You can purchase this miniature at Amazon.
