Oregon was downed at USC, 74-73, on a last-second shot on Thursday, then on Saturday, the Ducks rebounded to hand UCLA its first conference loss of the season, 67-58. Always a tough team to play in McArthur Court, Oregon is 6-0 at home this year and is on a 19-game home win streak. The Ducks are not currently ranked, but they are receiving votes in both polls.

Oregon head coach Jody Runge (Kentucky, 1985) holds a 134-58 record in seven seasons at the helm of the Ducks' program.
THE SERIES vs. OREGON: Oregon holds the decisive 19-9 lead in the series with Arizona, although the Cats have taken two of the last three meetings from the Ducks. The two teams have split games each of the last five years.
Last season, the Cats picked up a 78-74 win over the Ducks in Tucson on Jan. 21, but fell at Oregon, 82-76, on Feb. 21.
LAST TIME AT OREGON: The Wildcats put up a valiant fight but, in the end, just couldn't pull out the win as they fell to then-18th-ranked Oregon, 82-76, in Eugene on Feb. 21, 1999.
The Wildcats were with the Ducks through the first 10 minutes of the game, then Oregon went on a 12-0 run midway through the first half en route to a nine-point (42-33) halftime advantage. Oregon opened the second half by outscoring the Cats, 17-10, and pushed their lead to 16 (59-43) at 11:24.
Arizona then made a 15-6 run at the Ducks, climbing back to within six (65-59) points at the 4:25 mark. Oregon managed to get the lead back to 11 points, and Arizona's game-ending 11-6 spurt just wasn't enough to regain the lead.
Lisa Griffith knocked down a season-high five treys while tallying a game- and season-high 20 points. Angela Lackey had 15 points and a team-high six rebounds, and Julie Brase came off the bench to post 11 points, all in the second half. Felecity Willis had six assists, and Reshea Bristol nabbed five steals.
ABOUT OREGON STATE: After opening the year with a paltry 4-10 record, the Beavers have rebounded to win four of their last five games. They stand at 8-11 overall and 4-3 in Pac-10 play. Last weekend, the Beavers fell at UCLA (83-60) and defeated USC (57-53). Oregon State will play host to Arizona State on Friday before facing the Wildcats.
Sophomore guard Felicia Ragland holds OSU's scoring lead with 12.9 ppg. Senior center Sissel Pierce is second in both scoring (12.0 ppg) and rebounding (7.4 rpg). Senior forward Reda Petraitis is the top rebounder, with 7.7 per game.
OSU is the Pac-10's top team in rebounding margin (+5.8 rpg) and is tied with Oregon for the lead in blocked shots (4.89 bpg). Sissel Pierce is the conference leader in blocked shots (2.78 bpg), and Reda Petraitis is second in steals (2.53 spg).
Oregon State head coach Judy Spoelstra (Oregon State, 1983) is 56-73 in her fifth year at the helm of her alma mater's program. She has a 154-141 record in 11 years as a head coach.
THE SERIES vs. OREGON STATE: OSU holds the 15-13 edge in the series with Arizona. The Cats are on a five-game win streak against the Beavers.
The Wildcats earned a sweep of the Beavers last season, downing OSU, 91-60, in Tucson on Jan. 23, then beating OSU, 66-53, on Feb. 19 in Corvallis.
LAST TIME AT OREGON STATE: Despite a sluggish performance, Arizona pulled out a 66-53 win at Oregon State on Feb. 19, 1999.
OSU opened the contest with a 16-8 run, to which Arizona responded with a 12-0 run of its own. The Cats took over from there, blowing out to a 34-21 halftime lead.
The UA opened the second half with a 7-0 run, pushing the lead to 20 (41-21), and then went cold, as the Beavers made a furious 25-11 run to pull to within six points (52-46) at the 6:38 mark. The Wildcats outscored OSU, 14-7, down the stretch to snag the victory.
Angela Lackey nailed a game-high 18 points, while Lisa Griffith put up 15 points to go with game-highs of six steals and five assists. Felecity Willis added 12 points, and Elizabeth Pickney had 10 points and a team-leading eight rebounds.
HISTORY LESSON: Arizona holds a 4-3 all-time record in games played on Feb. 4. The Cats last played on that date last season, an 84-58 win over Washington at home.
The Wildcats are 2-4 all-time when playing on Feb. 6. Their last contest on that date was last year, an 85-64 win over Washington State at home.
ARIZONA'S LAST TIME OUT: A 50 percent shooting performance in the second half helped the Wildcats pull out a 60-58 win over rival Arizona State at home on Jan. 30.
Arizona opened the game with an 11-2 run, then ASU proceeded to out-score the Cats, 27-16, over the remainder of the half, taking a 29-27 lead into the break.
Arizona State held onto the lead early in the second half until the UA went on an 11-4 spurt to take a two-point (38-36) lead at the 12:35 mark. From there, there were seven lead changes and four ties until Arizona managed to push out to a six-point (58-52) lead with 1:12 left.
The Sun Devils scratched back to within the final spread of two points by hitting a three-pointer with less than a minute remaining in the contest, but Arizona held on for the victory.
Tatum Brown was the only Wildcat in double digits, tallying her seventh double-double of the season with 18 points and a game-high 13 rebounds on 7-of-11 shooting from the floor. Krista Warren and Reshea Bristol each added seven points off the bench.
TRACKING THE PAC-10: At 6-1 in Pac-10 play, UCLA has a tenuous hold on first place in the league standings. Three teams are tied for second place with 5-2 marks -- Arizona, Oregon and Stanford.
LOOKING AHEAD: Arizona begins the second round of Pac-10 play next weekend with games at home against the Washington schools. The Cats will face Washington on Thursday, Feb. 10, at 7 p.m., then will take on Washington State on Saturday, Feb. 12, at 2 p.m.
HEAD COACH JOAN BONVICINI: In nearly a decade at the helm of the University of Arizona's women's basketball program, head coach Joan Bonvicini has collected an unparalleled list of accomplishments, both for the university and for her career.
Now in her ninth year at the UA, Bonvicini has posted a 149-101 (.596) mark and has a 474-172 (.734) record in 20 years as a collegiate head coach. She also has a 22-13 mark in NCAA tournament play and has never lost a first-round game in 13 appearances.
Prior to taking over at the UA, Bonvicini led Long Beach State to 10 consecutive NCAA appearances, including two trips to the Final Four. She registered a 325-71 mark in 12 seasons with the 49ers.
THE REST OF THE STAFF: Awarded the title of associate head coach during the summer of 1998, Denise Dove Ianello (Northern Illinois, 1991) is in her eighth year at the UA, functioning as both the team's recruiting coordinator and the perimeter coach. Second-year assistant coach Karen Caires (Cal State Northridge, 1990) works with the perimeter players, assists with scouting and recruiting and directs the Joan Bonvicini Hoop Camp. In his first year at the UA, assistant coach Curtis Loyd (Southern Utah, 1994) is involved primarily with scouting and with coaching the post players.

Feb. 9 2-4:30 p.m. McKale lifting afterTHE CATS IN PAC-10 PLAY: Currently at 5-2 in conference play, the Cats have tied the 1998 team for the best start ever in league action. The UA's best record ever through the first round of Pac-10 play was 7-2 by that 1998 squad.
DID YOU KNOW: Since Joan Bonvicini took over the Arizona program in 1991, the Wildcats have gone 77-74 against Pac-10 teams, although they have a 43-18 league mark over the last four seasons combined.
RACKING UP THE WINS: Joan Bonvicini needs only eight more victories at the UA to collect as many wins as the six previous Wildcat coaches combined.
BY THE NUMBERS: All but one of Arizona's wins this year have been by an average of 10 points or more... Each loss has been by an average of only 5.7 points... The Cats have hit five or more 3-pointers in 13 games this season... Arizona has 20 or more assists in 10 games this year... The Cats have had 10 or more steals in 14 games... Arizona has forced its opponent into 20 or more turnovers in 13 contests, and no opponent has committed less than 14.
LONG RANGE BOMBING: The Wildcats have hit at least one 3-pointer in 52 consecutive games, dating back to Mar. 5, 1998.
FREE THROW WOES: The Wildcats, who ended last year shooting 72.1 percent from the free throw line, have been wildly inconsistent from the stripe this season. They have shot as well as 84 percent (21-25 vs. Tennessee Tech, Nov. 20) and as poorly as 53.1 percent (17-32 vs. Northern Illinois, Dec. 15) so far this year.
The UA has shot over 70 percent from the charity stripe in only nine of the 19 games this year and has been over 80 percent only twice.
CRASHING THE BOARDS: Rebounding has been a major problem for the Wildcats over the last few years, but they are on an upswing in that area. The UA has out-rebounded its opponent in 18 of this season's games so far. That's a great improvement over last season, when the Cats out-rebounded only seven opponents in all 29 games combined.
BENCH CONTRIBUTIONS: The UA bench has been quite productive this season, contributing an average of 29.1 points per game. The highest point total from the bench so far this year came on Dec. 10 against Texas Southern, when 47 of the UA's 96 points came from the subs.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: During Joan Bonvicini's tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have posted an 89-40 mark in McKale Center, including a 58-12 record over the last five seasons combined. Arizona has a record of 155-148 on its home court since the 1976-77 season.
STRONG SCHEDULE: Four of the UA's opponents this season are ranked in this week's polls.
UC Santa Barbara is tied for 13th in this week's A.P. poll, while UCLA is 15th, Oklahoma is 22nd and Kansas is 25th. Oregon, Stanford and Colorado State all received votes for ranking.
In this week's USA Today/ESPN Coaches' poll, UC Santa Barbara is No. 14, UCLA is No. 17, Kansas is No. 24 and Oklahoma is No. 25. Stanford, Oregon and Hawai'i all received votes for ranking.
DUALLY SUCCESSFUL: Nine schools had both their men's and women's basketball teams ranked among the A.P. Top 25 this week. They are Arizona, Duke, Tennessee, Connecticut, Auburn, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa State and Louisiana State.
80 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER: Seems that the 80-point mark almost always means adding another to the "win" column for the Wildcats. In the 28-year history of Arizona women's basketball, the Cats have posted a 119-16 record when scoring 80 points or more in a game. Under Bonvicini, the Wildcats have gone 79-9 when topping that 80-point plateau.
WE CAN HANDLE THE CLOSE ONES...: Under head coach Joan Bonvicini, the Cats have gone 24-18 in games settled by five points or less, including a 8-4 mark in games settled by one or two points.
...BUT WE REALLY PREFER THE BLOWOUTS: Over the last nine seasons, Bonvicini's Arizona teams have won 49 games by spreads of 20 points or more.
KEYS TO THE WIN: This season, Arizona is... 15-3 when out-rebounding its opponent... 13-0 when shooting better than its opponent from the floor... 14-2 when shooting 40% or better from the field... 15-1 when scoring 70 points or more... 13-2 when committing fewer turnovers than the opponent... 13-3 when three or more players reach double digits in scoring.
CAT SCRATCHES: The Cats are forcing opponents to commit an average of 4.1 more turnovers per game than the UA, the highest ratio in the Pac-10... The Arizona women's basketball program has a 309-392 (.441) all-time record, however it is 113-56 (.669) from 1994 to present... Joan Bonvicini has a 167-88 career record against Pac-10 teams.
ON LOCATION: The Wildcats are 9-2 at home this season, 4-1 in road games and 3-0 in neutral contests. Arizona posted an 11-3 mark at home, was 5-8 on the road and notched a 2-0 record in neutral contests last year.
ARIZONA ON THE TUBE: The Wildcats are currently scheduled to make television appearances for two more games...
Sat. Feb. 19 at UCLA Fox Sports Net 1 p.m. PST Sat. Feb. 26 at Arizona St. Fox Sports Net Ariz. 8 p.m.
RECORD WATCH: Lisa Griffith is the Arizona and the Pac-10 career leader in both three-pointers made (257) and attempted (677). She is in the #6 spot on the UA's top-20 all-time leading scorers' list, with 1,100 career points. She needs 44 more points to move into the #5 spot.
Griffith is also on the career top-10 list for games started, coming in at #3 with 97 career starts. She stands at third on the career steals chart, with 200, and is fifth on the career assists list, with 422.
Felecity Willis is seventh in both career three-pointers made (48) and attempted (173). She is holding down fourth place on the all-time assists chart, with 470 career dishes.
Willis is also the latest addition to Arizona's all-time top 20 scoring list. She has 867 career points, which puts her in the #18 spot. She needs only two more points to move up to #17.

LISA GRIFFITH NAMED PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Jan. 17): Senior guard Lisa Griffith was named the Pacific-10 Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week for Jan. 10-16.
Griffith averaged 20.0 points, 4.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.0 rebounds per game while leading the Wildcats to their first-ever road sweep of the Washington schools on Jan. 13 and 15. She shot 59.1 percent (13-of-22) from the floor, including a blazing 61.1 percent (11-of-18) from three-point range.
In the win at Washington, Arizona's first victory ever in Seattle, Griffith drained a school-record-tying seven treys en route to a career-high 26 points. She shot 7-of-10 from beyond the arc, marking the first time any Wildcat has hit seven treys in one game since Griffith herself did it twice during the 1996-97 season. In the win over Washington State, she tallied 14 points, four steals and seven assists.
The Player of the Week honor is the second of Griffith's career (also Feb. 17, 1997), and the 18th all-time selection for Arizona.
CATS EARN FIRST ROAD SWEEP IN WASHINGTON: With wins at Washington State (83-68) on Jan. 13 and at Washington (96-85) on Jan. 15, Arizona completed its first-ever road sweep of the Washington schools. While the Cats had previously been able to defeat Washington State in Pullman, this season's win at Washington was the UA's first in 14 attempts.
A GREAT START: With their victory over California on Jan. 6, the Wildcats tied the 1995-96 team for the best start ever at 12-1. The UA's 14-2 record through the first 16 games of the year was also a program best.
CATS SET RECORD WITH HOME WIN STREAK: Arizona set a new school record this season with a 15-game home win streak, dating from Jan. 4, 1999, to Jan. 8, 2000. They saw their streak end with a 98-95 loss to Stanford on Jan. 8. The previous long streak was a string of 10 games midway through the 1997-98 season.
NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESS: The Cats went 11-1 in regular season non-conference play this year, their best non-conference mark since the 1995-96 team went 9-0. The 11 victories are the most regular season non-conference wins ever under Joan Bonvicini.
During the 12 non-conference games, the Cats averaged 83.1 points per game and out-scored their opponents by an average of 18 points per game. They shot 48.8 percent from the field, including a blazing 42.3 percent from three-point range. The UA out-rebounded its opponents by an average of 6.2 boards per contest. The Cats also averaged 20.0 assists and 11.0 steals per game, while forcing opponents to commit an average of 22.8 turnovers per game.
CATS TAKE SEELBACH CLASSIC TITLE: Arizona won its third regular-season tournament when it swept through the Seelbach Cardinal Classic in Louisville, Ky., on Dec. 28-29. The Cats had a solid showing in the first round with a 91-61 pounding of Marshall on Dec. 28. Although host team Louisville managed to hang with the UA most of the contest, the Cats pulled out an 80-70 victory in the championship game to take the tournament title.
After averaging 14.0 points and 13.0 rebounds per game over the two contests, Wildcat Tatum Brown was selected the Tournament MVP, her second such honor of the year. Louisville native Angela Lackey was selected to the All-Tournament Team as well, also her second such honor of the season.
GRIFFITH JOINS 1,000-POINT CLUB: With 3:04 left in the first half at Kansas on Dec. 21, senior guard Lisa Griffith knocked down her third three-pointer of the game to become the eighth Wildcat to reach the 1,000-point plateau in career scoring. The last Wildcat to join the 1,000-point club was Griffith's former teammate, Adia Barnes, who reached that mark during the 1996-97 season.
WILDCATS CLAIM TITLE OF INSIGHT.COM BOWL BASKETBALL CLASSIC: After falling in the championship game of the 1998 tournament, Arizona reclaimed the title of its ninth annual Insight.com Bowl Basketball Classic with victories over Texas Southern (96-46) and Indiana (87-70) on Dec. 10-12.
The UA's Tatum Brown was unanimously voted the Tournament Most Valuable Player after averaging 20.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals over the two games. Angela Lackey was named to the All-Tournament Team, as well.
RECORDS FALLING ALREADY: Tatum Brown's 11-of-12 shooting performance against Colorado State on Dec. 6 tied the UA single-game record for field goal percentage (.917). It is also a new McKale Center record, breaking the previous mark of 84.6 percent (11-13) set by former UCLA player Denise Curry on Jan. 17, 1981.
Arizona also set a new school record by hitting a sizzling 75.9 (22-29) percent in the first half against UC Santa Barbara on Nov. 30.
BROWN NAMED PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Dec. 6): Senior forward Tatum Brown was named the Pacific-10 Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week for Nov. 29-Dec. 5. Brown scored a career-high 21 points and grabbed a team-high seven rebounds to lead No. 21 Arizona to an 86-76 upset over No. 15 UC Santa Barbara on Nov. 30. In just 26 minutes of action, she shot 9-for-12 (.750) from the field and 3-for-4 (.750) from the line.
The Player of the Week honor is the first of Brown's career, and the 17th all-time selection. Brown's honor followed Elizabeth Pickney's Player of the Week laurels the previous week, marking the first time in school history that the Wildcats have had back-to-back Pac-10 Players of the Week.
SHOOTING THE LIGHTS OUT: The Cats shot a school-record 75.9 percent (22-29) from the floor in the first half of the UCSB contest on Nov. 30. For the game, they shot 63 percent (34-54), the highest field goal percentage for any team since the school record was set at 64.3 percent (36-56) against Drake on Nov. 25, 1990.
PICKNEY NAMED PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Nov. 29): Elizabeth Pickney was named Pac-10 Player of the Week for Nov. 15-28. Pickney averaged 16.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocked shots per game in the UA's four straight victories to open the season. She shot a team-high .575 (23-40) from the field and .720 (18-25) from the line during that stretch.
Pickney was named the Tournament MVP at the Hawaiian Regent Wahine Classic, leading Arizona to the team title with three wins. In the tourney, she averaged 18.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. The Player of the Week honor was the first of Pickney's career and the 16th all-time selection for Arizona.
SULTANS OF SWAT: The Wildcats racked up nine blocked shots in the contest against Tennessee Tech on Nov. 20. That is the highest single-game block total since the 1985 squad collected 10 at Tennessee-Chattanooga on Jan. 5, 1985. Elizabeth Pickney had five of the UA's blocked shots against Tennessee Tech, a career high for her.
As a team, Arizona collected 20 blocks over the first four game of the year, the highest block total ever over that stretch in any season.
CATS TAKE CHAMPIONSHIP AT HAWAIIAN REGENT WAHINE CLASSIC: The Wildcats swept through three games in Honolulu on Nov. 19-21 to take the title at the Hawaiian Regent Wahine Classic, hosted by the University of Hawai'i.
Arizona garnered victories over Oklahoma (75-59), Tennessee Tech (87-71) and host team Hawai'i (86-73) to open the 1999-2000 season with a perfect 3-0 mark.
Elizabeth Pickney averaged 18.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game for the Cats and was the overwhelming favorite for tournament Most Valuable Player laurels. Felecity Willis and Tatum Brown were named to the All-Tournament Team, as well.
DOVE IANELLO AMONG TOP ASSISTANTS: In a survey of head women's coaches conducted by the Women's Basketball Journal last fall, UA associate head coach Denise Dove Ianello received votes for consideration as one of the top assistant coaches in the country.
FUTURE WILDCATS: On the first day of the early signing period (Nov. 10), Arizona inked a trio of high school recruits from the state of California. The signees were 5-10 guard Candice Allen (Ontario, CA/Ayala HS), 5-7 guard Aimee Grzyb (San Jose, CA/Archbishop Mitty HS) and 6-3 forward Veranda James (Pomona, CA/Ganesha HS).
WHAT THE COACHES THINK: Here is the predicted order of finish for the Pac-10 this season, according to the league's coaches...
1. UCLA 6. Washington 2. Oregon 7. USC 3. Stanford 8. Oregon State 4. ARIZONA 9. California 5. Arizona State 10. Washington StateGREAT EXPECTATIONS: For the third year in a row, the Wildcats earned a preseason national ranking. The Cats were ranked 25th in the Associated Press Preseason Top 25, and they were 24th in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches' Preseason Top 25.
The Wildcats were ranked among the top 25 teams in five different "unofficial" preseason polls this fall. The UA's highest ranking in these polls was 13th by Women's Basketball magazine and the lowest was 22nd by both Street & Smith's and the Basketball News Report.
Angela Lackey earned preseason third team All-America honors from Lindy's College Basketball and honorable mention All-America laurels from Street & Smith's College Basketball.
1998-99 IN REVIEW: Despite losing the squad's only two seniors before the season ever started, the very young 1998-99 Wildcats held their own and came up with an 18-11 overall record and went 12-6 in the Pac-10 to finish in fourth place.
The Cats faced a rough non-conference schedule that featured three teams which spent most of the season among the top four in the national rankings. Arizona went 5-4 against those non-conference opponents, with quality losses to Purdue, Louisiana Tech and Colorado State and a big road win over UC Santa Barbara.
That tough early slate prepared the Cats for a season of Pac-10 play which showed more parity than it has in years. After getting off to a rocky 1-3 start in league play, the Cats rebounded to finish the season 11-3, with wins over Pac-10 co-champion Oregon and over perennial power Stanford.
The Wildcats then received their third consecutive berth in the NCAA Tournament, earning a #6 seed in the Midwest Region. In Piscataway, N.J., Arizona faced NCAA tourney veteran Florida in the first round of play and defeated the Gators, 87-84, in overtime to move on to the second round for the third straight year. The Cats then took on host Rutgers, only to end the season on a sour note, falling to the Scarlet Knights, 90-47.
For the season, Arizona had its most balanced offense in five years, with four players averaging in double digits in scoring, and ended its season by winning 12 of its final 16 contests.

College Hockey:Big Red Topple Crimson in Lynah Fishbowl
Paolini Registers Four Points In Penalty-Filled Game
ITHACA, N.Y. — At 4:08 in the third period, highly touted Harvard centerman Dominic Moore scored from behind the opposition's net by banking a shot off Cornell goaltender Matt Underhill's leg. It was an amazing shot and the best offensive play of the game. It was also absolutely inconsequential.
That goal made the score 6-2 in favor of Cornell, who controlled the game's momentum from start to finish. In what was likely the most highly anticipated ECAC game so far this season, the Big Red easily outplayed the Crimson, who looked frustrated throughout the affair.
Adding to Harvard's frustration was the charged atmosphere of Lynah Rink. Cornell's fans, particularly boisterous on this night, made things hard on the visiting team throughout the game by pelting them with exotic projectiles such as fish, lobster, and squid. Indeed, the fans and their fish got so far out of hand at one point that the home team was given a bench minor for delay of game.
After the fish had been cleared from the ice at the beginning of the first period, hard-working Sam Paolini of Cornell established his team's dominance with a goal at 5:26 on a rebound. Paolini set the tone for his team throughout the game, accruing two goals and two assists by the time the final whistle had sounded. His teammates carried their fair share of the offensive load as well, as 12 Cornellians registered points on the night. Offensive highlights for the Red included the eventual game winner on a Krzyzstof Wieckowski laser, a goal by Denis Ladouceur set up by a Doug Murray spin move, and a two-on-one capped off by a Matt McRae tally.
"I thought our guys were very focused going into the game. We got up on them early tonight, we kept on the pressure, and I thought that was the difference of the game," said Cornell head coach Mike Schafer.
Toward the end of the third period, with Harvard's frustrations continuing to mount, the game unfortunately turned ugly. With about 4:00 left to play, Paolini laid a punishing check on the Crimson's Peter Capouch, causing him to limp off the ice slowly. Three Harvard players tried to start altercations with Paolini in the very next shift, but none succeeded until the 18:33 mark, when all ten skaters on the ice were drawn into a brawl.
"I think they targeted me after that hit. I actually thought it was a clean hit. I blindsided him, that's why he was hurt…but it was a clean hit," said Paolini.
In the aftermath of the fight, referee Tim Kotyra handed down misconducts to all ten players involved. Several minor altercations followed in what had turned into quite a violent third period. All told, a total of 134:00 in penalties occurred on the night, with 126:00 coming in the third period alone. Surprisingly, none of those penalties was severe enough to warrant disqualifications for upcoming games.
"We were telling our players, 'Hey, we got a game tomorrow night that's just as important, we can't have anybody thrown out,'" said Schafer. "They kept their gloves on in that altercation, and they took a few, but in the end it's well worth it. They're in the game for tomorrow night. They stayed disciplined."
With the win, the Big Red assumes a three-point lead over Harvard in conference standings. Clarkson and Dartmouth are both five points out of first place. On Saturday night, Cornell will attempt to maintain its significant league lead when it confronts Brown. Harvard, meanwhile, looks to return to winning ways when it travels to Colgate for an afternoon game.

This is a nomination thread for the "Best of" contests. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at the bottom of this post where I've quoted Mod's explanation.)
Where is the best burger in the area?
"The area" means Hattiesburg and anywhere up to approximately 30 miles outside of town.
Nominate a place by simply putting the name in a post. You can nominate as many as you want, but make separate posts for each one. Anyone who wants to vote for that restaurant/bar can do so by "thanking" the post.
Sometime Monday I'll check to see which places have been nominated and received the most votes, and those will be put into a poll.

Malignaggi targets welters in return
Story by Rick Scharmberg
Photos by Chris Cozzone
Former IBF light welterweight champion Paulie "The Magic Man" Malignaggi (27-4, 5 KOs) makes his return to the ring Saturday night at the Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec City, Quebec against Michael Lozada (36-6-1, 29 KOs), in one of the main support bouts on a card featuring Bernard Hopkins versus Jean Pascal for Pascal's WBC light heavyweight title.
Besides invading the welterweights for the first time, Malignaggi has a new trainer, a new gym, and a new promoter in Golden Boy Promotions.
"I am confident they can build me up again for one last shot at the title, maybe next year," he said.
In 2006, Paul Malignaggi, then 21-0, could be seen and heard at ringside in Atlantic City and New York telling everyone how bad he wanted to face then-unbeaten WBO light welterweight champion Miguel Cotto.
Sometimes, you get what you ask for, and the bout was made for June 10, 2006.
In front of a packed Madision Square Garden crowd, on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day parade in New York City, Malignaggi proved to everyone that he was an elite fighter. He didn't win that fight, but made scores of new fans with his gutsy performance against one of the most feared fighters in the sport.
On June 16, 2007, Malignaggi became a world champion when he took the IBF light welterweight belt from defending champion Lovemore N'dou at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut.
After two successful defenses, Malignaggi's star was shining bright. He gave up his belt in order to fight Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas. Many people gave Paulie a good chance, but Hatton ended up stopping him in eleven rounds. Paulie wanted complained bitterly to then-trainer Buddy McGirt for stopping it.
He would go on to drop a close and disputed decision to former world champion Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz in Houston, Texas. After the bout, Paulie took the microphone and told the crowd what he thought of the judging.
Malignaggi would redeem himself in the rematch, easily out-pointing Diaz in Chicago, Illinois.
The roller coaster would continue, though. In his most recent bout, he was stopped in eleven rounds by WBA light welterweight champion Amir "King" Khan. The bout took place in New York in front of his hometown fans, which only added salt to the wound.
After the Khan bout, Malignaggi was classy in defeat, and said that he had to think long and hard bout what he would do next.
Malignaggi seemed to disappear for a while, but when he resurfaced, he had managed to sign with Golden Boy Promotions.
"Once we started talking, it wasn't that difficult. It was easy and simple. They outlined their game plan for me, and that was it. I am very pleased and happy with how it went," he said.
"They get a lot of TV dates, and can get me the fights and opportunities I need to become a champion again. I am confident they can boost my career and maximize my potential to make one last run. I have a good mind set, and a promoter to put me in position to get big fights. I am really focused on 2011. We will step it up a notch after this fight on Saturday," he continued.
This fight against journeyman Michael Lozada, of Tijuana, Mexico will be a ten round welterweight fight.
"I am staying at welterweight," stated Paulie. "I am sick of struggling to make weight at 140. I've been doing that for eight years."
"I don't know too much about him," said Malignaggi of his opponent. "I do know that he is a boxer-puncher who has been stopped every time he stepped up, and I am in that class where he has to step up. I not only want to win, but make a statement. I want to win impressively and then go on to bigger fights at 147."
Helping prepare Malignaggi now is new trainer Eric Brown, and they trained together at Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles.
"I moved on to L.A. now for my training," said Paulie. "It is working out really well. They treat me like family, and even had a birthday cake on my birthday."
"Freddie was great, and Eric is a great trainer in his own right. I've only been with him four or five weeks, but we are starting to mesh. I don't know how much it will show in this fight, but give us a couple of camps. Eric doesn't try to change me, but adds to what I have. He will show me some things and tells me to take what I want. I appreciate that," he said.
"The Wild Card is a fighter's gym," continued Paulie. "It reminds me of Gleason's Gym in New York. There are not many gyms like that on the East Coast. Maybe Shuler's Gym in Philly was like that when I was there. It is a down and dirty fighters gym. You can get all the work you need there."
Malignaggi has a plan for the last stage of what has to be called a pretty good career. He has surrounded himself with a proven team that gives him his best chance at success.
"I am fighting for myself now. In the past I tried to hard to make other's happy. I'm scared too, because I'm 30-years-old and know there are not many opportunities left in this sport. I love the sport so much. I am so glad I have boxing."
It's all right for Paulie to admit that he is scared, because as the great trainer Cus D'Amato used to say, a scared fighter is the most dangerous fighter.
Saturday's card is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and GYM Promotions, and will be televised by SHOWTIME.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice may be standing behind her husband throughout this entire legal debacle, but it sounds like he is realizing that he doesn't want her to spend years behind bars. Teresa has revealed that she doesn't understand the charges brought against her, and now he is trying to save her. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Jan. 20, "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice's husband is now trying to create some distance between himself and her so she can get off the hook for his legal mistakes.
Even though he has been accused of cheating on her several times, he is now trying to create some distance between them so he can take the fall for their legal issues. He plans to tell the courts that Teresa had "no knowledge of any alleged criminal activity in relation to the 41 counts of federal fraud against the couple and wants to testify to that effect. But only if he gets a separate trial," a source has revealed.
Of course, many speculate that Joe is at fault for all of the charges because she knew very little about the couple's finances until they filed for bankruptcy. She then went to work and tried everything to make money for the family. But the additional charges came afterwards, even though the fraud charges are linked to events prior to the bankruptcy.
"The hot-heated TV husband also wants the prosecution to provide access to the grand jury transcript 'in order to determine whether grand jury abuses led to his indictment'," reveals the source, adding, "And, last but not least, he wants a separate hearing to review all "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" takes and outtakes that attorneys plan on using against him to determine their 'audibility and admissibility'."
Do you think his plan will work?

(Ivanhoe Newswire) - Caregivers spend an average of 25 hours a week taking care of an ill family member's needs with little to no time for themselves. But the loving act can be bad for their body and mind. Ivanhoe has tips to help those who are helping others.
Pictures help Kathy Beechem remember the good times. At just 60, her husband Pete was diagnosed with a brain tumor and given two years to live.
"Right then, in that split second, it just changed everything," said Kathy.
So she took on a new role: caregiver. More than seven million people like Kathy provide full-time care to their loved ones in the U.S. Research shows it can have serious health consequences. 40 to 70% of family caregivers have significant symptoms of depression.
Kathy tells Ivanhoe that, "To share with others what was going on ended up being a great source of support for us."
Kathy's using her own experience to help others. She says educate yourself, but let the person you're caring for know you respect their wishes too.
"I really never took the decision making away from Pete," explains Kathy.
Be your loved one's advocate by keeping a medical journal, and don't be afraid to ask for help. Family caregivers often wait four to five years before reaching out. When Alzheimer's took control of former president Ronald Regan, his daughter Patti Davis took control of the situation.
"It starts to feel like this defines you," said Patti Davis, Ronald Regan's daughter.
Results from a nearly three decade long program shows taking care of a loved one with Alzheimer's could shorten your life-span by as much as four to eight years. Patti started her own Alzheimer's support group to help her deal with her dad's condition.
"I always say to people in this support group, 'you need travel buddies'," Davis tells Ivanhoe.
Kathy quit her job and traveled around the world with Pete and says the most important thing is to never lose hope.
Kathy remarks, "I think the fact that I had that belief and that hope made me a much better caregiver."
The value of the services family caregivers provide for free is estimated to be more than 375 billion dollars a year. That's almost twice as much as is actually spent on homecare and nursing home services combined.

On Monday night's episode of "Worst Cooks In America" viewers watched the 6 remaining cooks with a new passion and drive to succeed in what they thought at first was just amusing. Yes, at the beginning all these cooks thought it was funny that they were unable to tackle even the simplest tasks in the kitchen, and now instead they are proud of what they have so far accomplished.
The Skill Drill meant that they would need to fix breakfast that consisted of Eggs Benedict and the renowned Sarabeth Levine instructed them. All 6 cooks took on the challenge with gusto, some faltered but not by much and at the end Danny from the Blue Team, won along with Jaime from the Red Team.
Then it was time for the Main Dish challenge and this involved replicating a Surf 'N Turf dish that each mentor prepared for the members of his or her team. They all were intense and focused on the task at hand, paying much attention to detail and making sure that their dish would be at the top. And then it was time for tasting, from Team Bobby or Blue team Amber took on the top spot and along with Danny would move on the semifinals, from Team Anne or Red Team, Jaime came up on top and along with Mike would also go on to the semifinals.
"Worst Cooks In America" runs on Monday at 9 p.m. EDT on the Food Network.

TC TO JANE WILSON ; 9 March 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18420309-TC-JWI-01; CL 14: 63-64
Templand, Thornhill, Dumfries, 9 March 1842—
Dear Miss Wilson,
Instead of our meeting at Chelsea, a very sad errand has drawn me hither: the unexpected death of my Wife's Mother, whom I think you have seen, and whom your Brother, if I mistake not, knew.
It was altogether sudden; tho' preceded by more illness than we had been aware of. Our first intimation of alarm was on Monday gone a week; my poor Wife set off that very day; sick, in such a mood as you can fancy: she travelled all night; and at her Uncle's door in Liverpool, on the morrow morning, news met her that all was already ended.
I found her lying there, in a very pitiable way: it was settled that she should not attempt proceeding farther; that she should return to Chelsea with one of her Cousins for nurse, so soon as her Uncle returned from this place,—probably about this day week. Time will bring solacement; Time alone can solace in such cases. All human consolations, philosophies &c break futile, like foam, from such a stern catastrophe coming suddenly on us.
I shall have to stay here for some time yet; adjusting many things. By and by in a calmer season I hope we shall again meet, again and often! I remain always,
Yours very sincerely
T. Carlyle

#Rihanna Rode Jay-Z To The Top
The Popdust Files: jay-z, rihanna
RUMOR: The Barbados native was signed to Def Jam in 2005 at the age of 17 after auditioning for former label president Jay-Z, who has carefully watched over her chart-topping, record-breaking career ever since. But of course, with success comes plenty of haters who feel she doesn't deserve to be there and thus a slew of rumors that her rise up the label ranks was based on more than just her talent. Around 2007 and 2008 Rihanna was said to be the official sidepiece to King Hov, who was seriously dating his now-wife Beyoncé, with stories of feuds, awkward interactions and professional blue-balling going down between all three.
DEBUNKED? Rihanna's had public relationships throughout her career—most notably with fellow artist Chris Brown—while Jay married Beyoncé in 2008 and is now expecting his first child, with the singer. Both have spoken out vehemently against the rumors, with Rihanna telling Cosmopolitan they led her to feel uncomfortable around her then-manager. "I felt self-conscious around [Jay-Z] until he took me aside and said that I just had to ignore it."
DENY, DENY, DENY: "Not to take anything from her—she is a great artist—but every artist needs a launching pad and there is nothing better than a good scandal to get the public's attention" —Jonathan Hay, Rihanna's publicist, who admitted to pushing fake stories about an alleged affair between Jay and RiRi in promotion of her debut single "Pon De Replay" in the book Publicity Stunt: The Art of Noise.

Twilight Markets Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec 2013
Twilight markets will be held at the Old Gympie Railway Station on the 3rd Saturdays of Sept, Oct, Nov 2013 and the 2nd Saturday in Dec 2013 from 6.00 pm. "The winter markets have been a surprising success, with stall holders and patrons keen for follow up events", Jim Walker, Manager of the MVHR said. "After consultation a decision was made to commence the markets leading into summer at 6.00 pm-with the December Twilight Markets on the Second Saturday, 14 Dec 2013. Our follow up with the stall holders from the winter markets has been encouraging".
"The cooler months did not slow the twilight markets, and the MVHR looks forward to the run into Christmas to build patronage. This success was based on an extensive local marketing campaign and also the Rail-Motor shuttles which operate north to the "Stop Blocks". These shuttles are now a part of the Twilight Markets and thanks to the MVHR volunteers who laid the groundwork or trackwork for the shuttles," Mr Walker stated.
President of the MVHR, Tony Hallam, supported Jim Walker. "The Winter markets were a pleasant surprise. The visitors to the markets had a wonderful time and the Rail-motor shuttles are proving popular. The Gympie Radio Club display gives an added dimension to the markets. The MVHR would also like to thank Coates Hire of Gympie for the donation of the use of a light tower for safety lighting. Thanks goes to the MVHR volunteers who are marketing the Twilight Markets in such a comprehensive manner."
Bianca Nagy who operates the Refreshment Rooms café at Old Gympie Station was very pleased with the number of patrons at the café.

Bell v. Ohio
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Bell v. Ohio, 438 U.S. 637 (1978)
Bell v. Ohio
No. 76-6513
Argued January 17, 1978
Decided July 3, 1978
Petitioner, whose conviction of aggravated murder with a specification that it occurred during a kidnaping and death sentence were affirmed by the Ohio Supreme Court, contends that the Ohio death penalty statute (see Lockett v. Ohio, ante, p. 438 U. S. 586) violated his rights under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments because it prevented the sentencing judge from considering the particular circumstances of his crime and aspects of his character and record as mitigating factors.
Held: The judgment is reversed insofar as it upholds the death penalty, and the case is remanded. Pp. 438 U. S. 642-643; 438 U. S. 624-628; 438 U. S. 643; 438 U. S. 643-644.
48 Ohio St. 2d 270, 358 N. E. 2d 556, reversed in part and remanded.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE BURGER, joined by MR. JUSTICE STEWART, MR. JUSTICE POWELL, and MR. JUSTICE STEVENS, concluded:
1. "The Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments require that the sentencer, in all but the rarest kind of capital case, not be precluded from considering as a mitigating factor, any aspect of a defendant's character or record and any of the circumstances of the offense that the defendant proffers." Lockett v. Ohio, ante at 438 U. S. 604. P. 438 U. S. 642.
2. "The Ohio death penalty statute does not permit the type of individualized consideration of mitigating factors" that is required by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. Lockett v. Ohio, ante at 438 U. S. 606. P. 438 U. S. 642.
MR. JUSTICE WHITE concluded that petitioner's death sentence should be vacated on the ground that the Ohio death penalty statute permits a defendant convicted of aggravated murder with specifications to be sentenced to death, as petitioner was in this case, without a finding that he intended death to result. Pp. 438 U. S. 624-628.
MR. JUSTICE MARSHALL, being of the view that the death penalty is, under all circumstances, a cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, concurred in the judgment. Pp. 438 U. S. 643-644.
MR. JUSTICE BLACKMUN concluded that petitioner's death sentence should be vacated on the ground that the Ohio death penalty statute is deficient in regard to petitioner, who was charged as an aider and abettor
in a murder, in failing to allow consideration of the degree of petitioner's involvement, and the character of his mens rea, in the crime. P. 438 U. S. 643.
BURGER, C.J., announced the Court's judgment and delivered an opinion, in Part I of which STEWART, WHITE, BLACKMUN, POWELL, and STEVENS, JJ., joined, and in Part II of which STEWART, POWELL, and STEVENS, JJ., joined. BLACKMUN, J., filed an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment, post, p. 438 U. S. 643. MARSHALL, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, post, p. 438 U. S. 643. WHITE, J., filed an opinion concurring in part, concurring in the judgment, and dissenting in part, ante p. 438 U. S. 621. REHNQUIST, J., filed a dissenting statement, post, p. 438 U. S. 644. BRENNAN, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.

The National Electrical Code (NEC) contains an
introduction and nine chapters; Annex A through Annex G (A through H in
the 2008 edition) are located in the back of the Code, just before the
Index. Annexes are not part of the requirements of the NEC but are
included for informational purposes. The introduction (Article 90)
covers material that is essential to all the chapters and sections in
the Code. For example, 90.5(A) through (C) covers mandatory rules,
permissive rules and explanatory material. Mandatory rules use the
terms shall or shall not. These terms identify actions that are
specifically required or prohibited. Permissive rules use the terms
shall be permitted or shall not be required. These terms identify
actions that are allowed. Permissive rules also describe options or
alternative methods.
The Code includes
explanatory material in the form of fine print notes (FPNs). FPNs are
informational only and are not en-forceable. Examples of FPNs include
references to other standards, references to related sections of the
Code or information related to a Code rule. A description detailing the
arrangement of the Code is in 90.3.
months Code in Focus covered electric clothes dryers in 220.54. This
month, the discussion continues with calculat-ing loads for electric
clothes dryers in dwelling units.
load for household electric clothes dryers in a dwelling unit(s) shall
be either 5,000 watts (volt-amperes) or the name-plate rating,
whichever is larger, for each dryer served. Using the demand factors in
Table 220.54 shall be permitted [220.54]. Until now, calculations for
clothes dryers have been based on single-phase feeders or services.
Occasionally, single-phase clothes dryers are installed on three-phase
feeders and services and, therefore, require a different calculation
procedure. Where two or more single-phase dryers are supplied by a
three-phase, four-wire feeder or service, the total load shall be
calculated on the basis of twice the maximum number connected between
any two phases [220.54]. For example, a multi-family dwelling will have
a 208-volt, single-phase, 4,400-watt clothes dryer in each of 10 units.
The electrical service will be supplied by a 208Y/120-volts,
three-phase, four-wire system. What is the minimum service load for
these clothes dryers? The first step is to find the maximum number of
dryers connected between phases. Four dryers will be connected between
phases A and B, three dryers will be connected between phases B and C,
and three dryers will be connected between phases A and C (see Figure
1). The maximum number of single-phase clothes dryers connected between
any two phases is four.
Requirements for calculating cooking equipment loads
(by the standard methods) are in 220.55 and 220.56. Both sec-tions
provide tables containing demand factors. Cooking equipment calculation
requirements are few in number compared to the total requirements in
Article 220, but dont underestimate their importance. Understanding
requirements pertaining to household cooking equipment is necessary
before calculating the load on a feeder or service that supplies
electric cooking appliances. Most electricians who have taken a
journeyman or master electricians exam know how important it is to
have a thorough understanding of cooking equipment calculations.
section contains feeder and service load calculations, and it includes
branch circuit load calculations. Branch circuits supplying household
electric cooking equipment must be calculated and sized in accordance
with 220.55 [220.14(B)]. Demand factors and demand loads for household
electric ranges, wall-mounted ovens, ¬counter-mounted cooking units and
other household cooking appliances individually rated in excess of 13⁄4
kW are in Table 220.55 (see Figure 4).
Kitchen equipment demand factors for occupancies other
than dwelling units are in 220.56 and Table 220.56. It shall be
permissible to calculate the load for commercial electric cooking
equipment, dishwasher booster heaters, water heaters and other kitchen
equipment in Table 220.56. These demand factors can be applied to all
equipment that has either ther-mostatic control or intermittent use as
kitchen equipment. These demand factors shall not apply to
space-heating, ventilat-ing or air-conditioning equipment [220.56].
Next months Code in Focus continues the discussion of feeder and service load calculations.

Introducing one of gaming's most beloved role-playing franchises to multiplayer gaming for the first time, The Elder Scrolls Online will be launching on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One this June. Game Director Matt Firor took time to answer several questions about the upcoming PS4 version of the game from the official Playstation Blog on Tuesday. After revealing several new details regarding the console versions, Firror discussed the how the MMO title will control using the DualShock 4 controller.
ZeniMax Online Studios strives to transfer the PC action bar gameplay that found in most MMO games and seamlessly map the games entire functionality for us on console controllers. However, Firror admitted that the exact setup for exactly how they will accomplish this isn't yet finalized. Additionally, the game will utilize the DualShock 4 touchpad on the PS4 and the developer is currently testing different ways to incorporate the function.
We're still testing and tweaking different DualShock 4 button mapping configurations, but we're very happy with the gameplay experience on PS4. Abilities are conveniently accessible for fun "on the couch" gameplay, and the team is really happy with how it's coming along. We'll have more specifics to share about this topic later this year.
Some may think it that, as an Elder Scrolls title, that the upcoming MMO would naturally simply mirror the control scheme found in Skyrim. While the game will definitely have elements that feel familiar to Skyrim fans, Firror reminded gamers that The Elder Scrolls Online is actually a completely different genre that features an all-new engine so there will be fundamental differences.
Throughout ESO's development, our goal has been to create an MMO that is fun to play and is familiar to Skyrim fans. Gameplay in ESO isn't identical to Skyrim, so naturally we've made some button configuration changes to reflect the differences, such as the use of abilities. At the same time, there are a lot of controller configuration similarities between Skyrim and ESO.
The Elder Scrolls Online launches first on PC this April, followed by a console release on both the Playstation 4 and Xbox One in June. That game is being developed by ZeniMax Online Studios.

Referee: Veteran lawyer ran trust account like Ponzi scheme
Lawyers' trust accounts are supposed to be pristine depositories where only other people's money gets stored and accounted for in careful detail.
But one veteran Milwaukee injury attorney ran hundreds of millions of dollars through his firm's account like a Ponzi scheme, lawyer regulators say, using money from new cases to pay off older clients while stiffing some third parties for months or entirely because the account was never fully funded.
For that, Joseph Weigel, 77, should be suspended from practice for 30 months according to referee who heard the ethics case against him.
Weigel argues that's way too harsh – since all clients eventually got paid – and tantamount to taking his law license for good, given his age.
"That's taking a lawyer with 50 years of service, who's served the community and the bar, and destroying his career because he mistakenly took the wrong path to doing the morally right thing," said Terry Johnson during oral arguments before the Wisconsin Supreme Court earlier this month.
"No one stole anything," Johnson said, and suggested a reprimand or 60 day suspension is more appropriate.
The lawyer who acted as special prosecutor in Weigel's case thinks any suspension is too little, and that he should lose his license for good.
"Revocation is not reserved for the worst of all possible cases because we can always imagine something worse than what we see before us," argued Paul Schwarzenbart.
"The violations in this case are on a scale not seen before by this court," he told the justices, citing the duration, the amounts of money involved, and Weigel's attempts to conceal his actions until confessing in 2009.
Schwarzenbart argued that even if a lesser sanction might effectively retire Weigel, disbarment is necessary to remind other lawyer that rules about trust accounts aren't just "guidelines to be avoided when they're inconvenient."
Weigel contends that when he took over his firm in 1999, he discovered an enormous deficit in the trust account, a shortfall he later learned was as much as $1 million. But instead of going directly to the Office of Lawyer Regulation or the police, or even walking away to start his own practice, he claims, he thought about all the other employees' welfare and began a long-term attempt to slowly erase the deficit.
Johnson argued that it would have worked, too, had the OLR not filed a grievance against Weigel last year.
But a big part of the charges against Weigel is that he didn't keep enough records for anyone to ever know just where the money went, when, and how.
"There's not been an accounting, and there will never be an accounting," Schwarzenbart said, because Weigel deliberately didn't keep records, even of the amounts he claims he and others in the firm contributed to the trust account to bring the account into balance
Weigel's been up on ethics charges before. In June, the court opted for a reprimand instead of a 60 day suspension a referee recommended in a case involving a long-running dispute between Weigel and his former partner, Alvin Eisenberg.
The trust account case wasn't filed until 2011, years after the accusations first arose. Weigel's son, William Weigel, is a top official with the Office of Lawyer Regulation. The OLR recused itself from the matter entirely in 2006, and appointed Schwarzenbart as a special investigator.
William Weigel said he played no role in the investigation of the complaint against his father.
A decision from the Supreme Court is expected in coming months.
- Tiny school district feels big financial pain from Woznicki records requests
- Marcia Clark, O.J. Simpson prosecutor and author, coming to Pabst Theater
- Milwaukee Bar Association names new executive director
- A dozen Wisconsin DAs calling it quits this year
- Gov. Walker appoints 2 lawyers with Milwaukee ties to Sheboygan judicial seats
- Milwaukee lawyer explains his night in Scottish jail after soccer championship
- Law grad's first case a winner, before WI Supreme Court
- Ex-lawyer allowed to skip prison to concentrate on restitution still owes big
- Milwaukee man among 58 federal prisoners President Obama orders released early
- $400,000 in lemon law awards over large commercial truck upheld

Amazing Adventures Down to 160 :o)
Thursday, August 12, 2010
So I haven't updated my blog in quite some time. Allot has gone on :o) I'm now down to 160 pounds Yeah!!!! 150's I will see you next weigh-in :o) We went on a 12 day trip driving from AZ to OH. I visited each of my sisters that live in Ohio for a day , then we went to the Cleveland Breast Cancer 3 day to crew the event. Most of the crew was down right rude with the team we were on , but the true reason we were there was the walkers, and we totally made it about them. We met some amazing people and were able to help hundreds. We also got to see our 3 day family, the ones we crew with in Phoenix, 3 of them walked and 1 of them crewed on a different crew. They are all amazing and I wished we all lived closer. We live in CA, AZ, CO, and IA but are best of friends. We call it our chosen family, not that we don't love people in our birth familys ;o) We also got to meet up with Ali Vincent from Biggest loser in Columbus for a boot camp workout :o)
The biggest challenge being on the road and eating out for 12 days is the food for me. I made a deal with hubby that if I didn't gain weight on the trip that I could get $100 from the budget to get my hair cut and highlighted at the salon with my favorite hairdresser (it's been 4 years since I've seen him) Sooooooooo I managed to keep my weight the exact same which is totally huge for me !!!!! I was so excited!!!! Yeah I had made a deal with myself that once I went under 160 that I was going to get my hair done, so the next weigh-in I should be making my appointment, soooo close
The kids are doing good my step daughter starts school next week and my two started back on July 19th, poor things barely got out June 18th. They are doing so well this year with a new school and district :o) Almost 4 weeks in and my son hasn't gotten into trouble once, I'm so proud of how they are doing. My son joined band and my daughter joined drama.
I have been working out regularly , resting atleast one day a week, inspiring others, eating well, and just doing amazing. I'm making the best of some bad things at work and it's making things sooo much better just remember to love life
Can't wait for the wellness cruise I will be going on with my mom in October :o) I'm getting really excited about it!!! There is also some cool stuff coming up in September that I will blog about maybe when I get more details :o) Also in September I'm doing a sprint triathlon for my Birthday, so exciting!!!!!!!
That's it for now, hope everyone is doing well and making healthy choices, weighloss is just a benefit to living healthy. We can all have a happier and healthier life one choice at a time!!!!
