Seven UCLA players have been chosen by Sports Illustrated to represent the Top 75 players in NCAA Tournament history. This season marks the 75th year of NCAA March Madness. Additionally, UCLA is represented twice in the magazine's Top 10 NCAA Tournament moments.
UCLA centers Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar/1967-69) and Bill Walton (1972-74) are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 all-time, followed by five more Bruins - No. 16 Gail Goodrich (guard, 1963-65), No. 23 Sidney Wicks (forward, 1969-71), No. 28 Walt Hazzard (guard, 1962-64), No. 35 Jamaal (Keith) Wilkes (forward, 1972-74) and No. 55 Marques Johnson (forward, 1974-77). The seven Bruins combined to win 14 NCAA titles, with Alcindor and Wicks winning each year they played.
In the Top 10 Moments, Coach John Wooden's first UCLA NCAA Championship-winning team of 1964 is featured, along with Tyus Edney's 4.8 second full-court dash and game-winning basket against Missouri in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. That team also captured the national title.
The Sports Illustrated feature celebrating 75 years of NCAA March Madness, compiled by Seth Davis and Colin Becht, can be found HERE.

U.S. Military Tax Guide
Filing Returns
This section discusses the special procedures for military personnel when filing federal tax returns. For information on filing returns for those involved in a combat zone, see Extension of Deadline, later.
Where To File
Send your federal tax return to the Internal Revenue Service Center for the place where you live. For example, Sgt. Kane, who is stationed in Maine but whose permanent home address is in California, should send her federal return to the service center for Maine. The instructions for Forms 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ give the addresses for the service centers. If you are overseas and have an APO or FPO address, file your return with the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255-0215.
When To File
Most individual tax returns cover a calendar year, January through December. The regular due date for these tax returns is April 15 of the following year. If April 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, your tax return is considered timely filed if it is filed by the next business day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. For 2000 tax returns, the due date is April 16, 2001, because April 15 falls on a Sunday.
You can receive an extension of time to file your return. Different rules apply, depending on whether you live within the United States or outside the United States.
Within the United States. You can receive an automatic 4-month extension to file your return if by the regular due date you do any of the following.
- File a paper Form 4868.
- File Form 4868 electronically by phone or over the Internet.
- Pay part or all of your estimate of tax due electronically by using a credit card. (If you use this option, you do not have to file Form 4868.)
The extension of time to file is automatic, and you will not receive any notice of approval. However, your request for an extension will be denied if it is not made timely. The IRS will inform you of the denial.
You cannot use the automatic extension if (1) you choose to have IRS figure the tax or (2) you are under a court order to file your return by the regular due date.
Payment of tax. An extension of time to file does not mean you have an extension of time to pay any tax due. You must estimate your tax due. You do not have to send in any payment of tax due when you file Form 4868. However, if you pay the tax after the regular due date, you will be charged interest from the regular due date to the date the tax is paid. You also may be charged a penalty for paying the tax late unless you have reasonable cause for not paying your tax when due.
If you file Form 4868 electronically, you can make your tax payment by authorizing a direct debit (automatic withdrawal) from your checking or savings account or by using a credit card.
For more details on how to pay the tax due, see the Form 4868 instructions.
When you file your return. Enter the amount you paid on line 63, Form 1040. On Form 1040A, include the amount in the total on line 40. On Form 1040EZ, include the amount in the total on line 9. To the left of line 40 or line 9, enter "Form 4868" and show the amount paid.
Outside the United States and Puerto Rico. If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, you can qualify for an automatic extension of time until June 15 without filing Form 4868 (or making a payment) if either of the following situations applies to you.
- You live outside the United States and Puerto Rico and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the United States and Puerto Rico, or
- You are in military or naval service on an assigned tour of duty outside the United States and Puerto Rico for a period that includes the entire due date of the return.
If you use this automatic extension, you must attach a statement to the return showing that you met the requirement.
You can request an additional 2-month extension to file by August 15 by filing a paper Form 4868 by June 15. Write "Taxpayer Abroad" across the top of Form 4868.
Joint returns. For married persons filing a joint return, only one spouse needs to meet the requirements to take advantage of the automatic extension to June 15.
Separate returns. For married persons filing separate returns, only the spouse who meets the requirements qualifies for the automatic extension to June 15.
Additional extension beyond August 15. You can request an extension beyond the 4-month extension by filing Form 2688 or by writing a letter to the IRS. Except in undue hardship cases, this additional extension will be granted only if Form 4868 has already been filed. Form 2688 or your letter will not be considered if it is filed after the extended due date. If you file Form 2688 and are granted an extension and the IRS discovers that the information you gave was false or misleading, the extension is void. You may then be subject to a penalty for filing late.
If you are unable to pay the tax owed by the end of the extension period, you may want to file Form 9465 to arrange an installment payment agreement with the IRS that reflects your ability to pay the tax owed.
Signing Returns
Generally, you must sign your return. However, if you are overseas or incapacitated, you can grant a power of attorney to an agent to file and sign your return.
A power of attorney can be granted by filing Form 2848. These forms are available at your nearest legal assistance office. While other power of attorney forms may be used, they must contain the information required by Form 2848.
In Part I of the form, you must indicate that you are granting the power to sign the return, the form number, and the tax year for which the form is being filed. Attach the power of attorney to the tax return. If you are acting on behalf of someone serving in a combat zone, see Filing Returns for Combat Zone/Qualified Hazardous Duty Area Participants, later.
Joint returns. Generally, joint returns must be signed by both spouses. However, when a spouse is overseas, in a combat zone or qualified hazardous duty area, in a missing status, incapacitated, or deceased, a power of attorney may be needed to file a joint return.
Spouse overseas. If one spouse is overseas on military duty, there are two options when filing a joint return. One spouse can prepare the return, sign it, and send it to the other spouse to sign early enough so that it can be filed by the due date. Or, the spouse who expects to be overseas on the due date of the return can file Form 2848 specifically designating that the spouse who remains in the United States can sign the return for the absent spouse.
Spouse in combat zone/qualified hazardous duty area. If your spouse is unable to sign the return because he or she is serving in a combat zone/qualified hazardous duty area or is performing qualifying service outside of a combat zone/qualified hazardous duty area, such as the Persian Gulf Area or Yugoslavia, or a qualified hazardous duty area (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Macedonia), and you do not have a power of attorney or other statement, you can sign for your spouse. Attach a signed statement to your return that explains that your spouse is serving in a combat zone.
Spouse in missing status. The spouse of a member of the Armed Forces who is in a missing status in a combat zone can still file a joint return. A joint return can be filed for any year beginning not more than 2 years after the end of the combat zone activities. A joint return filed under these conditions is valid even if it is later determined that the missing spouse died before the year covered by the return.
Spouse incapacitated. If your spouse cannot sign because of disease or injury and he or she tells you to sign, you can sign your spouse's name in the proper space on the return, followed by the words "by [your name], Husband (or Wife)." Be sure to sign your name in the space provided for your signature. Attach a dated statement, signed by you, to your return. The statement should include the form number of the return you are filing, the tax year, the reason your spouse could not sign, and that your spouse has agreed to your signing for him or her.
Spouse died during the year. If one spouse died during the year and the surviving spouse did not remarry before the end of the year, the surviving spouse can file a joint return for that year, writing in the signature area, "Filing as surviving spouse." If an executor or administrator has been appointed, both he or she and the surviving spouse must sign the return filed for the decedent.
In general, military personnel follow the same rules as other taxpayers concerning tax refunds. See your tax form instructions for information on what to do if you do not receive an expected refund and how to call to check on your refund status.
Use Form 8822 to notify the IRS if you move or change your address after filing your return. See How To Get Tax Help, near the end of this publication for information about getting this form.

Comments about The World's Best Cities:
This book has beautiful pictures but I was very disappointed with the text. It seems like a tourist guide telling you where to eat and shop (except it is huge and heavy so you cannot carry it with you!). I did not get a feel about culture and history of the cities. Even the "fun facts" are not that fun.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

In 1983, The Police became one of the biggest bands in the world, thanks to enormous success of their fifth album Synchronicity. But as the spring of 1984 was fast approaching, the band was unraveling.
In March of that year, the Police concluded their Synchronicity tour in Australia, after which the band became inactive, as solo projects from band members would soon follow. Those projects included Sting's 1985 landmark debut The Dream of Blue Turtles, Stewart Copeland's 1985 film The Rhythmatist, and Andy Summers' collaboration with Robert Fripp on the 1984 album Bewitched. By the end of 1985, it was pretty relevant that the Police were probably not going to get back together. But they attempted to do just that.
In the summer of 1986, the band played three concerts for the Amnesty International's A Conspiracy of Hope Tour. Then the band entered the studio to record a new album, but it soon became disastrous. Copeland was injured from a fall from a horse, making him unable to play, and there were constant arguments between the band members, including one between Sting and Copeland. The ill-fated sessions effectively ended the Police, but did produced one UK top 25 hit, "Don't Stand So Close to Me '86".
As Sting, Copeland, and Andy Summers continued on with solo projects, they did reunited a few more times, including Sting's wedding to actress Trudie Styler, and their 2003 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2007, the Police embarked on a reunion tour that lasted through 2008. And in those years since their breakup in the 1980s, the band has been regarded as one of the greatest of all time.

This small company connected Thorntown with Lebanon (10 miles), an important junction on the Indianapolis and Northwest division of the THI&E. The line was opened in July 1905, and throughout most of its history two small Cincinnati Car Company combines provided service on a two-hour headway. The road survived until July 6, 1926. One of its cars was sold to the THI&E , and the right-of -way passed into the hands of the parallel Big Four Railroad.

Country music icon Glen Campbell, who has Alzheimer's Disease, was placed in a long term care facility back in April. Though his current wife thought the move was in his best interest, Glen Campbell's daughter Debby from a previous marriage, disagrees.
In an article with Billboard, Campbell's wife Kim defended her decision. She claims that though she would like to have him at home with her, it's no longer in his best interest. Despite Debby's claims that Glen Campbell should remain at home and that more relatives should take the time to visit him, Kim Campbell says that Glen gets plenty of company at the care facility where he now resides.
Kim Campbell says that Glen's children who live in Nashville visit frequently, as well as longtime friends. He also takes part in therapy with people who specialize in caring for Alzheimer's patients. In an article with People, Kim Campbell claims that Glen's daughter Kelli as well as his siblings all support the move to the care facility.
So, why then, is his daughter Debby so upset? She claims that she wasn't told about the move and heard it through the media so perhaps she simply feels left out. Or perhaps she has valid reasons for believing her father should receive care in the comfort of his own home.
Either way, the care of the ailing Glen Campbell has become yet another celebrity family feud. Earlier this year, the family of Casey Kasem squabbled over who had the right to make decisions for the former radio personality. Kasem, like Campbell, suffered from a disease that affected his mind and ability to make decisions for himself. Kasem was stricken with Lewy body dementia and his children from his first marriage also went to war with the current wife.
In Casey Kasem's situation, his wife Jean was accused of kidnapping him and his children were very concerned for his medical well-being. When Kasem's daughter filed a missing persons report, her father was found and eventually spent the last weeks of his life in a hospital in Washington. However, even after his death, his family is still feuding about where he should be buried.
Any form of dementia is difficult on family members. It seems that whether celebrity or not, communication and understanding the reasons behind each family member's feelings and wishes is key to finding common ground during what is sure to be a challenging and emotional time for all. Hopefully, Glen Campbell's family will come to a peaceful agreement before his passing.

College Hockey:Ostergard stops 32 as Robert Morris blanks RIT
PITTSBURGH, Pa. — The Robert Morris Colonials extended their current unbeaten streak to eight with a 4-0 home shutout of the visiting Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers. Colonials goaltender Brooks Ostergard stopped 32 shots en route to his third career shutout, and the Colonials got two goals from senior forward Adam Brace, as well as goals from freshman Scott Jacklin and Cody Wydo. The win pushed the Colonials into a tie for third place in the Atlantic Hockey standings heading into the holiday break.
"It was a complete game; we did everything we needed to do to be successful tonight," said Colonials coach Derek Schooley. "I thought our guys did well getting pucks out and pucks in when the game was still up for grabs."
From the first puck drop, the Tigers seemed intent on dictating the pace of the game by keeping the Colonials pinned in their own end and putting the cycle to work, but the Colonials found ways to create turnovers and capitalize on them in all three periods of the game.
Robert Morris opened the scoring at 5:08 of the first period when defenseman James Lyle intercepted a puck at the blue line and threw a near perfect pass to forward Cody Crichton. Crichton's shot rung off the post and behind Tigers goalie Shane Madalora, but Brace was there for the easy tap in to give the Colonials the early lead. For the rest of the period, the Colonials simply looked to take what the Tigers were giving, as they turned several Tiger miscues into odd man breaks and scoring chances, while at the other end of the rink, Ostergard turned away all 13 Tigers shots.
The second frame started badly for Robert Morris, as the Colonials found themselves facing a five-on-three short-handed situation for 54 seconds, but the nation's top-ranked penalty kill was up to the challenge. Led by some fantastic saves and some timely clearing attempts, the Colonials kept RIT off the scoreboard.
The Tigers looked ready to seize control of the game again following the missed power-play opportunity, as they put even more pressure on the Colonials defense, outworking Robert Morris to loose pucks on several occasions, but the Tigers couldn't convert the work into goals, something noticed by their coach Wayne Wilson. "Our third and fourth line guys had some nice opportunities, but our skilled guys weren't working hard enough tonight." said Wilson following the game. "We got caught up ice a few times and they capitalized on those chances; we really weren't patient enough."
Brace then put the Colonials up by two when he buried a two-on-one at 7:55, with the assist coming to Crichton, who had three assists on the night and started the scoring play with some hard work in the Colonials end that was rewarded when Brace finished, tipping his shot past Madalora for his sixth goal of the season. The Tigers then mounted a more furious challenge that Ostergard responded to.
"He made some key saves when he had to; he was just as solid as he's been lately." said Schooley, pointing to Ostergard's current 5-0-2 streak.
During a power play with less than a minute left in the second period, the Colonials capitalized on yet another RIT turnover when freshman forward Scott Jacklin picked up the puck in neutral ice and slid a pass to senior Nick Chiavetta. Madalora made the initial save on Chiavetta's shot, but Jacklin kept at the front of the net and was there to bang home the rebound at the 19:12 mark to give the Colonials a three-goal lead going into the final period.
The stage was set for the Tigers to come roaring back in the third period, but the Colonials played like a team that had no idea it was ahead, constantly and confidently pushing the play toward the RIT zone while still creating chances and not retreating to their own end. The work paid off when freshman Cody Wydo took a behind the net feed from Crichton and easily beat Madalora to push the lead to 4-0.
In all, Ostergard stopped 32 shots on the night, earning the game's number one star. The Colonials improved to 7-2-2 in Atlantic Hockey conference play and ran their current unbeaten streak to 6-0-2, while the Tigers fell to 7-5-2 in the league. The game was the final game for both teams before the holiday break. Robert Morris next hosts the Ohio State Buckeyes on December 30 in the Pittsburgh College Hockey Classic. Meanwhile, the Tigers will next take part in the Catamount Cup December 29-30.

NEW YORK — Nancy Grace may now be the most polarizing host in cable television news — and that's saying something.
The former prosecutor took up the cause of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony when the child went missing and spent hour after hour on the case as mother Casey was charged with her daughter's murder. Grace harbored nothing but disdain for "tot mom," as she called Anthony. With Grace in the lead studio chair, coverage of Anthony's acquittal on Tuesday brought HLN the largest audience in its 29-year-history.
Grace's audience of nearly 3 million people that night was also a personal high. She brings the same in-your-face opinionated approach to legal news that several Fox News Channel and MSNBC personalities bring to politics, and viewers strongly endorsed it. Yet her assertion that the Anthony jury was "kooky" and post-verdict statement that "the devil is dancing tonight" seemed over the top even by Grace standards, offering fresh material for both those who cheer her advocacy and others who find her overbearing.
One of the jurors in the Anthony case, Elizabeth Ford, told ABC News that the 51-year-old Grace was not fit for television.
"I think a lot of things she says fuel the fire and they're based on nothing," Ford said. "I'm obviously against making decisions based on just speculation and opinion."
Back down? You don't know Nancy. After one of Anthony's lawyers said the verdict should send a message to those who engage in "media assassination" — remarks considered largely aimed at Grace — she said she wasn't concerned. "I don't like them much either," she said on a CNN blog.
"When I take a stand, I don't expect people to like what I have to say," Grace, who declined to be interviewed by The Associated Press, told ABC News. "But I do hold myself up to the standard of trying to tell the truth. And if they don't like it or if it hurts their feelings, there's nothing I can do about that. But I can tell you this much: That mom is guilty."
Grace's career was fueled by a personal fire. Her fiancÉ, college student Keith Griffin, was murdered in 1979 when Grace was 19. The tragic crime caused her to abandon her plans to teach English and turn to law. She wound up working in the Atlanta-area district attorney's office, often on cases involving women or children. But the Georgia courts also cited her for prosecutorial misconduct on one or two cases.
Telegenic and not reluctant to take stands, she became a popular television figure with legal experts in demand in the post-O.J. Simpson era.
Her prime-time HLN show concentrates on criminal cases with a laser-like focus, particularly cases involving children; she has twin pre-school children herself.
This past week, Grace's impact could be seen in the streets outside the Orlando, Fla., courtroom where Anthony was tried, where dozens of women reacted angrily to the verdict. Some held signs in tribute of Caylee, whose face is kept alive in photographs repeatedly shown on Grace's program.
But cross Grace at your own peril. She can bluntly — rudely, many viewers perceive — cut you off on her show if you disagree with her. Grace's prosecutorial mindset can convict people in the court of opinion even if they aren't in a real courtroom, with Anthony a perfect illustration. Most Americans are happy to see Grace on TV, "because she's not hiding in the back of our car with piano wire and those cold, black eyes," HBO's Bill Maher joked.
"I feel like I owe the nation community service for having hired her and put her on television," said Steve Brill, founder of the now-defunct Court TV. "She's a monster." At Court TV, anchors and commentators were instructed to explain the legal process to viewers but not opine on guilt or innocence, he said.

I'm sorry... how is this not about religious freedom? I recommend you go to Youtube.com and take a look at Keith Olberman's segment on the "Ground Zero Mosque." He has many surprising facts, including
a) It's not a mosque.
b) It's not at Ground Zero.
c) The closest mosque to Ground Zero has been there since before the Twin Towers were even built.
If you look at Pat Condell's video site, he is an atheist. His fights for freedom, not religion. Any religion that advocated violence is suspect.
This "religious center" is two blocks from ground zero and scheduled to open on the tenth anniversary of 911. What would you say to the families of the victims?
Spoken like a true Christian.
Thanks Mike! Blessings to you!
this headline was misleading and false.
I disagree. We do not want a mosque at ground zero. Whether it is two blocks away or not. It's descriptive and brief, as headlines are supposed to be!
"I disagree. We do not want a mosque at ground zero. Whether it is two blocks away or not."
-No one is proposing a mosque at ground zero as you say yourself. It is two blocks away. How far away would be satisfactory for you? Whatever your answer is, the headline is still misleading.
"This "religious center" is two blocks from ground zero and scheduled to open on the tenth anniversary of 911. What would you say to the families of the victims?"
-The mosque is NOT scheduled to open on 9/11/2011. All that has been said is that they hope to have begun construction by then. Considering the plan is that it will take three years to build and construction has not started, how could it be open in just over a year? That is a lie that has been passed around and you appear to have bought it hook-line-and-sinker.
I don't want to see Catholic Churches built near playgrounds. Can we put a stop to that?
Well said.
Anonymous, If you actually stand behind your comments, you should have the fortitude to use your real name.
How far is too far away from ground zero? I think you should ask the nine-year-old girl who never met her father, or the senior in high school who graduated without his mother present. They are the ones you need to ask.
75% of Americans are against this project. Why? Because the wound is still raw. The exposed pit where the towers used to be exemplifies the heart of America. We are not rebuilt.
You do have a point about the Catholic Churches built near playgrounds, with one exception - the Catholic Church does not teach pedophilia. The Sharia law exposes violence and hatred toward women and America.
the fact that the majority never willingly gives rights to a minority is why we have a constitution. they have the legal right to put a mosque there and your attempt to equate muslim americans with the attacks on this country is shameful.
our military is currently risking their lives for the rights of muslims in other countries. but you want to deny rights to americans of the muslim faith?
also, you clearly don't know your bible since it advocates violence as well.
The Bible advocates peace - not violence. If you read it, you would know this to be true.
Once again, they can build their mosque, just not this close to ground zero. If you continue to rehash your version of the truth over and over, I'll be forced to simply delete your comments as they are redundant.
I am not against Muslims. I am against a celebratory mosque set out to commemorate what they will call their "greatest victory against the US."
They can build their mosque. Just not here at ground zero, where our wounds are yet to be healed.
wow. so much for a debate. i guess if you delete all my comments, you get to be right.
when you say "our wounds", you elevate your own personal feelings about 9/11 over those of muslim americans, many who lived in nyc during 9/11 and experienced a terrorist attack on their home city. they need their wounds healed more than most white ladies in colorado.
"I think you should ask the nine-year-old girl who never met her father, or the senior in high school who graduated without his mother present. They are the ones you need to ask. "
Alright, here are some opinions from people who were more closely affected on 9/11. Seems like they don't all agree with you.
And, since not everyone agrees, perhaps we ought to stick with the guaranteed constitutional right to freedom of religion.
I agree that Sharia Law "espouses" violence and hatred toward women and I don't have any time for that either. But to say that you can then somehow stop American Muslims from free practice of their religion is to take away the exact freedom that extremists of all sorts would like to take from you.
BTW, I see you didn't bother to say anything about the "opening on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks" story that you are peddling. Would you like to admit that your statement is in error or have you found evidence to support that statement?

The nicotine patch is preventing me from sleeping nights. Would using melatonin help alleviate this problem? Are there any side effects I should know about?
Use of the nicotine patch, while helpful in reducing the unpleasant effects of quitting, can include its own problems, one of the most common being disruption of regular sleep schedules. Other typical problems include nervousness, feelings of anxiety and of course, a continued craving for cigarettes.
Naturally, some of these symptoms are as much psychological as they are physical and melatonin—other than as a placebo—will have little effect.
First off, it is perfectly safe to use melatonin as a sleep aid while using the patch. However, you should know that recent studies indicate melatonin's therapeutic effects may be at least somewhat limited.
Studies do indicate that melatonin can help alleviate feelings of stress and tension brought on by smoking cessation, and can therefore aid in falling and staying asleep.

I was joking when I said anyone who wanted to, could buy me that stunning print for Christmas. I'd clicked through an email to an Etsy shop and instantly fell head over heels for a painting by an artist I'd never heard of. Feeling particularly silly that afternoon, I shared the image on Facebook along with the note about wanting to own this beauty for myself.
A within a week, I received an unexpected package from Canada. I know approximately three people in Canada, and while I've enjoyed the gift of chatting with Ann at conferences, I was certain this wasn't a gift from her. But, someone had in fact bought that print for me. I immediately felt guilty for the silly post I had launched, when I jokingly asked for this print. But a friend of mine took my longing seriously.
Gently peeling away the strip that held the envelope shut-tight, I slipped the inner manila colored envelope from it's stiff outside casing. I held my breath and shooed my curious children back. I could feel their little eyes on my slow movement. With tears brimming, I stared down at this piece of loveliness–this unexpected gift.
On my knees there beside the stairs, I sat staring at this treasure. My asking had been tongue-in-cheek. Facebook is a noisy place and I didn't expect anyone to hear me, much less take me seriously–and yet. I held the love of a friend right there in my hands.
A card slipped out of the envelope and the words were simple, but heartfelt, and I wept with gratitude for the small, surprising ways God whispers His love.
I suppose I have to admit here, that I'd been struggling, questioning the value of my time spent online–questioning my writing and whether or not I was actually serving God by what I was doing.
God used my friend to speak His truth to me that day–that I have value, that He cares about the things I care about, that what I do matters–someone notices, and someone cares.
I know the cost of the painting because I had window shopped this artists's Etsy store. But to me, this image carries a value immeasurable. My sweet friend paid real money for it, that is true, but no money in the world could buy the feeling of gratitude and deep love I feel each time I walk past it.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. James 1:17

Baseball Toppled By No. 23 Hilltoppers, 11-5
March 6, 2010
BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- Western Kentucky's six-run second inning proved to be the difference in the UIC baseball team's 11-5 loss to the 23rd-ranked Hilltoppers at Nick Denes Field on Saturday.
Steve McGuiggan went 3-for-4 with an RBI and Chris Rutta homered for the second straight game for the Flames (1-8).
Matt Payton drove in five runs, including two on a triple during the decisive second, and came up a single short of the cycle for Western Kentucky (8-2).
McGuiggan led off the game by legging out a triple after sending the second pitch he saw from starter Tanner Perkins into the gap in right center. He scored when the next batter, Jason Ganek, hit a deep fly ball to center that was caught for a sacrifice fly to put UIC up early.
Western Kentucky evened the game in the next half-inning when Payton hit a solo shot off of starter Rafael Garcia. The Hilltoppers then put up a six-spot in the second, as five of the first six batters of that frame reached safely and four extra-base hits brought in five of the hosts' six runs.
UIC would not go away, scoring a run in the third on Ryan Meehan's RBI double, tacking on a run in the fifth when Rutta went yard, and putting two on the scoreboard in the sixth courtesy of back-to-back RBI from McGuiggan and Ganek. But a pair of two-run innings following the six-run second gave Western Kentucky enough breathing room the rest of the way.
Brad Riegler provided 4.2 innings of scoreless, no-hit relief for the Flames.
UIC concludes its three-game series against the nationally-ranked Hilltoppers this Sunday at 1 p.m.

Feb. 14, 2014
BROOKINGS, S.D. - The Northern Illinois University wrestling team built an early lead, but suffered some tight losses Friday night en route to a 27-6 loss to South Dakota State. The Huskies (6-11, 1-6 MAC) took an early 6-3 lead through three matches, only to have the Jackrabbits (5-7, 2-1 WWC) claim victories in each of the last seven bouts. "We let ourselves get slowed down tonight," said NIU head coach Ryan Ludwig. "We came out flat and there's no excuse for that. (Jared) Torrence again gave a gritty performance and continues to be a great leader on this squad." SDSU got on the board first when Shawn Scott dropped an 8-5 decision at 197 against Trey Hable. However, Jared Torrence knotted the team score at three apiece with an exciting overtime win against J.J. Everard. After battling to a 1-1 tie in regulation and a 2-2 tie in the first overtime, the Huskie redshirt senior scored a takedown in the second sudden victory to earn his third victory of the season over the Jackrabbit heavyweight. Nick Harrison gave the Huskies their first lead of the day with a 6-4 win over Ben Gillette. After racing out to a 4-0 lead after the first period, the Stillman Valley, Ill., native secured the win with a pair of third-period escapes. From there, though, the Jackrabbits quickly turned the tide in their favor. The shift occurred at 133 pounds, when Derek Elmore - making his official debut of the 2013-14 campaign - was pinned in the second period by Brance Simms, which gave SDSU a 9-6 lead. The NIU deficit continued to grow when Kevin Fanta suffered a 7-5 loss to Eric Orozco and Rob Jillard lost, 8-4, against Alex Kocer. At 157, Andrew Morse fell to 17th-ranked Cody Pack in a 7-2 decision, allowing the Jackrabbits to build an 18-6 edge. Shaun'Qae McMurtry tried to keep the Huskies in the dual, but surrendered a takedown in overtime against Joe Brewster to provide the final 3-1 margin at 165. SDSU capped off their win with a pair of decisions at 174 and 184, where Billy Chancey lost, 5-1, against John Nething II and Caleb Busson dropped a close 3-2 match against Brady Ayers. The Huskies close out their regular season Sunday, Feb. 23, when they head to Buffalo to battle the Bulls. The dual begins at noon CT in UB's Alumni Arena.

College Hockey:This Week in Atlantic Hockey: Feb. 4, 2010
Spoiling the Party
By all measurements, last Saturday's "Make the Rink Pink" game at RIT was a success. The game between the Tigers and Bentley Falcons sold out days in advance, and over $21,000 was raised for cancer research by the RIT men's and women's teams via special jersey raffles and T-shirt sales. The atmosphere in Ritter Arena was electric.
A big success for RIT … except on the scoreboard. Bentley spoiled the party with a hard-fought 5-4 win, snapping a 9-0 home conference win streak for the Tigers.
"We talked about it before the game," said Bentley coach Ryan Soderquist, whose team dropped a 4-1 decision to RIT the night before. "It was a great event for cancer awareness and were happy to be a part of it. We knew we were going to have to rise to the occasion. It was an exciting atmosphere to play in and we were looking forward to the challenge of getting it done in front of a big, hostile crowd and getting the two points."
It wasn't just the crowd against Bentley on Saturday. Already bitten by the injury bug, the Falcons lost two defensemen during the game, and had two goals disallowed.
"We couldn't get down on ourselves," said Soderquist. "Our senior leadership picked us up. [Bobby] Preece had a big game. Brendan Harrison had a big power-play goal."
Preece had a hat trick in the game and now has eight goals on the season after scoring a total of four goals in his first three seasons. Thanks to a defense that is scoring more goals and some freshmen that have stepped up, the Falcons have been able to survive the loss of their top three scorers from last season.
"From the first day of practice we've worked to get [the defense] involved," said Soderquist. "That and having depth in our lines where we get more balanced scoring."
Bentley is currently in seventh place, but only a point out of fifth and five points away from fourth, where it finished last season. The Falcons have been swept only once, but have also failed to sweep any other AHA team.
"The league is extremely close, so it's hard to win two in a row," said Soderquist. "We've had some injuries and been inconsistent at times. But we've taken points every weekend but one. We need to tighten things up for the stretch run. This league is going to be a battle to the finish. I tell my guys, don't even look at the standings right now."
Weekly Awards
Players of the Week for Feb. 1, 2010:
Bobby Preece — Bentley
The senior from Bonita Springs, Fla., had his first career hat trick on Saturday, as well as chipping in an assist, to lead the Falcons to a 5-4 win at RIT.
David Berube — Sacred Heart
Berube had five points (four goals and an assist) in three games last week to help the Pioneers go 3-0. He had a hat trick in a 6-1 win against American International, and followed that up with a goal and an assist at Connecticut.
Goalie of the Week for Feb. 1, 2010:
Steven Legatto — Sacred Heart
Legatto was rookie of the week in the league last week, and picks up more recognition. He had a 3-0 week, compiling a 1.98 GAA and a .929 save percentage over the three games.
Rookie of the Week for Feb. 1, 2010:
Chris Tanev — RIT
Tanev had a goal and two assists last weekend against Bentley. The freshman blueliner leads the Tigers with a plus-16 rating and has 17 points on the season to date.
Monthly Awards
Players of the Month for January 2010:

Other rookies nominated: Preston Shupe, Canisius; Chris Tanev, RIT
As Expected
Army and Air Force had their usual (no pun intended) battle last weekend, with the Black Knights taking three of four points from the Falcons at Tate Rink, extending their home unbeaten streak over their rivals to five games.
Falcons coach Frank Serratore was critical of his team in Friday's 4-2 loss, but was more pleased with Saturday's 3-3 effort, despite giving up the tying goal to Army's Eric Sefchik with 11 seconds to play.
"It was will over skill tonight," Serratore said after the game on Friday. "We got back into the game in the third, but they imposed their will on us. We looked timid, soft and weak. … [Army was] clearly the better, stronger and more assertive team tonight."
On Saturday, the Air Force coach said, "We played well tonight. I was real proud of the team. As disappointed as I was last night with our effort, I was pleased with it tonight. I feel bad for our guys. Tonight was our night, but it didn't work out for us. Sometimes life isn't fair and sometimes hockey isn't fair. We were the better team tonight, but it didn't work out."
The three points moved the Black Knights into sixth place in the standings, while knocking the Falcons from atop their first-place perch.
Award Season
It's the time of year when nomination for major awards are beginning to be announced. Several AHA players got good news this week:
The Gridiron Club of Greater Boston announced the finalists for the 2010 Walter Brown award, presented annually to the best American-born college hockey player in New England. Sacred Heart's Nick Johnson and Bentley's Marc Menzione are among the 16 nominees.
Ten finalists for the Lowe's Senior Class award were named, and Dan Ringwald from RIT and Air Force's Matt Fairchild are on the list. The award is presented to a NCAA Division I senior with notable achievements in four areas: classroom, character, community and competition.

For many parents, the decision not to homeschool is a financial one. They continue sending their children to school in spite of a number of reasons why they feel that it's a bad idea simply because they feel they can not afford to do anything else. Homeschooling supplies and curriculum are expensive; and losing one income so a parent can stay home to homeschool simply doesn't seem feasible. However, there are things that you can do to make homeschooling possible after all—as long as you're willing to make a few sacrifices.
Eat in more. Eating out can rack up a huge bill in a hurry. For a family of four, it's not uncommon for dining out to run as much as fifty dollars or more. That same fifty dollars could provide an entire week's worth of dinners on a tight budget, and certainly two or three nights' worth even on a more extravagant one. In addition, if you're at home, you have the ability to prepare those meals from scratch rather than rushing in after work and discovering that no one set meat out to thaw, the fridge is empty anyway, and you have no idea what to have for dinner.
Reduce your cable bill. How often do you really watch TV, anyway? How many of those shows are things that you could live without? Consider using a service like Netflix or Amazon Prime and removing your cable bill entirely.
Gauge your gas. How much gas are you spending just to get to and from work every day? Would you spend the same amount if you were at home, shuttling children here and there, or can you have entire days at a time when you simply stay at home—or at the very least stay in a much smaller geographic area? And while you're thinking about that….
What work expenses do you have that could be removed? Everything from work clothes to materials that you buy for your job falls into this category. So does daycare. Many parents discover that once they no longer have to pay for those things, their overall income doesn't really change all that much.
Shop sales. Consignment sales are great places to find clothes and equipment for kids of all ages. Paying attention to sales at your local grocery store, dry goods stores, and even clothing stores can also have a huge benefit to your wallet. Shop seasons ahead—once your kids are out of toddler sizes, they likely grow in relatively predictable patterns, so buying clothing while it's on sale at the end of the season is manageable—and much cheaper.
How many extras do you really need? That movie night every week…could you have it in with a rental and a bowl of popcorn instead? What about your designer coffees? How many of those things could you reduce or eliminate without really noticing them?
If money is the only thing keeping you from coming home, then it's likely not as much of a problem as you think—particularly if you're a two-income family. Take a real, hard look at your budget, and at what expenses you can eliminate. You may surprise yourself!

With the trade deadline less than a week away, the St. Louis Blues made quite the splash on Friday, acquiring goaltender Ryan Miller and forward Steve Ott from the Buffalo Sabres.
"The thought of getting the grit and determination of player like Steve Ott, and obviously Ryan Miller's resume speaks for itself, we think this gives us a better opportunity for success this year," said Blues general manager Doug Armstrong.
In exchange for the two, St. Louis sent goaltender Jaroslav Halak, forward Chris Stewart, prospect William Carrier, a 2015 first round draft pick and a conditional 2016 third round draft pick. The third round pick becomes a 2014 first round pick if the Blues reach the Western Conference finals or Miller (a pending unrestricted free agent) re-signs with the Blues prior to the 2014 draft.
As part of the deal, Buffalo will also retain some of Miller's $6.25 million salary this season.
"Ryan Miller is an all-world goalie that has shown it time and time again," said Blues captain David Backes. "I've seen it in a couple of Olympics where he's as good as anyone in the business. And Steve Ott, playing against him, he adds a lot of grit and is hard to play against, the type of player you want to have on your team in the playoffs."
Miller's 15-22-3 record leaves something to be desired; but on a struggling Sabres team, it could have been much worse. The 33-year-old netminder does boast a respectable .923 save percentage, which is 10th in the league.
"I'm very excited for the opportunity to have a new adventure, a new opportunity," said Miller. "I have a strong sense that they have a special team, that they work hard. I know some of the guys on the team with the USA [Olympic] program, and they have a very strong competitive spirit."
The 31-year-old Ott was in his second season with the Sabres and his first season as captain. He has 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) and 55 penalty minutes in 58 games this season.
"I'm very thankful for the opportunity in my short time here with the Sabres," said Ott. "Now I'm off to a new adventure. I'm going to miss the teammates I've gotten to know in this dressing room the last little while, and the coaching staff as well."
Both Ott and Miller are expected to be in uniform when the Blues take on the Phoenix Coyotes on Sunday.

Only in his mid-twenties, Mississippi born and raised feel-good pop rocker Dent May has already made a name for himself within the indie music community. May first hit the stages of SXSW in 2012, performing on the Paw Tracks/Carpark Records showcase, then returned for the 2013 event to perform on his showcase in addition to jumping on Panache Booking's roster.
His first album, The Good Feeling Music Of Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele, was released on Paw Tracks in 2009, a label run in part by members of SXSW alum band Animal Collective. The band selected May to perform at All Tomorrow's Parties Festival across the pond in Somerset, England, when they curated it in 2011.
His sophomore LP, Do Things, came out in 2012, also on Paw Tracks, and showcased a new, slightly psychedelic sound played out on acoustic guitars and synthesizers. Not one to fall behind, May is already releasing a 2013 follow up this August 27th entitled Warm Blanket.
According to Paw Tracks, the album was recorded in St. Augustine, Florida, inside a supposedly haunted Victorian house. They've described the album as, "A delightful mix of organic textures, analog synth squiggles, inventive vocal melodies, and sincere wordplay." The album is available for pre-order via Paw Tracks and Dent May's official website.
Following the official drop of his album in a mere week, May will embark on a US tour, hitting cities including Atlanta, Chicago, and Philadelphia. He'll also be performing in Austin at Red 7 on September 13th. Austinites can get their tickets here. Check out Dent May's official website for a full tour listing to see if he'll be playing in a city near you.
In the meantime, you can listen to Dent May on The Backbeat, SXSWfm's indie rock specialty show hour, every Tuesday at 12pm, 6pm, and 12am CDT as well as on Saturdays at 11pm CDT.

Joey and Confederation
Joey signs the document bringing Newfoundland into Confederation. Photo credit: Wikipedia.
Reporter, radio personality, and farmer, Joey Smallwood's passion for union with Canada was a major factor in bringing Newfoundland into Confederation in 1949.
Joey held the office of premier for nearly 25 years after union, and continues to be a controversial figure to this day. He also produced The Book of Newfoundland, and began the Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Joseph Roberts Smallwood was born in Gambo, Newfoundland, the son of Charles Smallwood and Mary Devanna. When he was five months old, his family moved to St. John's, where he grew up in abject poverty. He attended neighbourhood day schools, and later Bishop Feild College, but dropped out before completing his studies. At the age of 15 he became a printer's apprentice at the St. John's Plaindealer, and spent the next few years gaining experience as a reporter with various papers.
In 1920, he moved to New York City, where he worked for the New York Call, a socialist newspaper. He also met Clara Oates, whom he married in 1925. Soon after, he returned to Newfoundland to act as a union organizer; he founded the newspaper Labour Outlook before joining the staff of the St. John's Daily Globe. After that paper went bankrupt, Smallwood travelled to England in 1926, before returning to Newfoundland and settling at Corner Brook where he founded the Humber Herald.
His first venture into politics was in 1928, when he planned to run as a Liberal candidate for Humber. However, when the party leader Sir Richard Squires expressed an interest in that same seat, Smallwood stepped aside to act as district campaign manager. His successes were rewarded with an appointment as a justice of the peace. After the election he returned to St. John's, founding the Liberal newspaper The Watchdog and becoming a confidant of Squires. A supporter of the suspension of responsible government, Smallwood ran unsuccessfully as a Liberal candidate for Bonavista South in 1932. After that election, he acted as an adviser for the remaining two Liberal members in the legislature, F. Gordon Bradley and Roland Starkes.
After the suspension of responsible government, Smallwood moved from St. John's to Bonavista, where he tried to establish the Fishermen's Cooperative Union. By 1936 he had returned to St. John's, and begun compiling the first two volumes of The Book of Newfoundland. He also began writing the column "From the Masthead" in the St. John's Daily News, using the byline "The Barrelman." This column evolved into the radio program of the same title, which aired on the government radio station VONF (Voice of Newfoundland) from 1937 to 1943. In 1939, he established a pig farm on the outskirts of St. John's, moving it to Gander in 1943.
Smallwood's second chance at a political career came with the announcement of the National Convention in 1946. He was elected as a delegate for Bonavista Centre. Convinced that Confederation was the means for Newfoundland's salvation, he wasted no time in asserting these views in a speech to the Convention on October 28, 1946. He used radio broadcasts of the Convention proceedings to further the cause of Confederation, and his own prominence, across the island. He was a member of the first Ottawa delegation, sent to inquire about union possibilities. By the time the delegation returned to Newfoundland late in 1947, he had solidified his position as a Confederation leader. Smallwood was a major force behind the movement to include Confederation as a referendum option. During the referendum campaign, he was a key figure, acting as editor of The Confederate, the Confederate Association's campaign newspaper. He was also a member of the negotiating team sent to Ottawa to create the final terms of union, and was invited to be the leader of the first provincial government in 1949.
In the provincial election in May of that year, Smallwood and the Liberal party won a decisive victory. He remained premier for almost the next quarter-century. As minister for economic development, he had almost total control over industrialization and development in the province. Unfortunately, many of the development efforts were failures, suffering from a combination of poor timing and poor planning.
In 1968, Smallwood announced his retirement as Liberal leader. However, two weeks after a leadership convention was announced, he gave notice of his intention to seek the job again. He won, in a battle that caused many in the party to throw their support behind the Progressive Conservatives. After an election loss to the Conservatives in 1971, Smallwood again announced his intention to retire, officially giving up the leadership on January 18, 1972, and his seat in the legislature soon thereafter. Two years later he changed his mind once again. After a failed attempt to win back the leadership, Smallwood formed the Liberal Reform party, which won four seats in the 1975 election. He rejoined the Liberals in 1977, but resigned his seat for the third (and final) time in June of that year.
Smallwood's later years were devoted to the production of the Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador. The first two volumes were published in 1981 and 1984, respectively. The project soon ran into financial difficulties that were aggravated when Smallwood suffered a stroke in 1984. The image of Smallwood being served with a writ in 1987 for unpaid bills concerning the Encyclopedia drew nationwide attention, and gave new life to the project. By 1988, the J. R. Smallwood Foundation was established in order to complete the publication of the work, and to establish the Smallwood Institute of Newfoundland Studies at Memorial University. Smallwood did not live to see the completion of the Encyclopedia, dying at his home in St. John's.

TA aims for post-season
The Lady Blue Devil softball team will take three consecutive confidence-building wins into next week's final game of the regular season at Lee-Marianna.
Tunica Academy is tied for second in the district and needs a win Monday at Lee to enter post-season play in North State next Saturday, Sept. 22.
"A loss to Lee last season kept us out of the play-offs," Coach Abbey Turner said. "But we beat them 11-9 earlier in the season, and we have more depth in pitching now."

2013 IPhone Family Photos. A family effort, contributions by all members.
Bill Funk is a son of a seedsmen and a seedsmen with a son. Bill was inspired by the phenomenal work of the great photographer, John Dix. Bill met John in 2008 while on a trip in Ireland. John introduced Bill to Blurb and spawned the idea for Bill to publish his family photos. Bill had accumulated over thirty of years of photos. Bill states, "When I pass my family won't have to sort through boxes of old pictures before the estate sale!" It has taken Bill nearly two years to get on the project. However he is on it now and has one more family book to complete. "The Book Of Prints". firstname.lastname@example.com
