East Hartford — DeAngelo Berry rushed for 260 yards and three touchdowns as third-seeded Xavier won its third straight Class LL state football championship Friday night with a 48-14 victory over No. 5 Norwich Free Academy before 4,576 at Rentschler Field.
The Falcons (12-1) dominated the second half, outscoring the Wildcats (12-1) 28-0.
Xavier, which outgained NFA 517-169, broke the game open in the third quarter by converting back-to-back turnovers into touchdowns to take a commanding 34-14 lead.
Kris Luster's 22-yard touchdown run with 41 seconds left in the quarter came on the very next play after a Ryer Caruso pass was picked off. Earlier in the quarter, NFA starting quarterback Joey Paparelli also was intercepted, leading to Berry's four-yard TD win with 5:38 left in the quarter.
Paparelli threw a pair of touchdown passes to Caruso in the final 1:56 of the first half as NFA, which trailed 20-0 early, pulled to within 20-14 at the break.
Paparelli's 49-yard TD strike to Caruso pulled the fifth-seeded Wildcats' to within 20-7, and after Airec Ricks recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, Paparelli and Caruso hooked up again from six yards out with one second left in the half to make it 20-14.
NFA's Elisa Formiglio kicked both extra points, becoming the first female athlete in state history to score a point in a state championship football game.
Khaleed Exum-Strong rushed for 90 yards on 12 carries for the Wildcats, but star running back Marcus Outlow suffered a left leg injury on the first series of the game and never was a factor. He did return after missing most of the first half but finished with only 7 yards on six carries.

On Monday, January 13 Marvel broke the news that actor Michael Douglas has been cast as Hank Pym in "Ant-Man," which will be a heist movie that focuses on the life of the pint sized superhero. Pym is a scientist who creates a serum that makes him shrink to the size of an insect. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 31, 2015.
In a statement, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said that Douglas was cast in the role because "we needed an actor capable of bringing the weight and stature to the role that the character deserves." The actor has experienced a successful and diverse career in film, winning an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for "Wall Street" in 1987 and a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Liberace in "Behind the Candelabra" which was released on HBO last year.
Director Edgar Wright has previously mentioned that the upcoming action film would feature both Hank Pym, the creator of "Ant-Man" and Scott Lang, who portrayed the superhero after Pym's retirement. Actor Paul Rudd was cast as Scott Lang early last month. It was hinted that the film will feature Lang stealing the suit from Pym just like in the comic books.
The film will launch Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and was written by Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish. Production will begin in May with filming take place in Los Angeles and Atlanta, Georgia. The film will have tough competition at the box office as other superheroes films like "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Batman vs. Superman" are released.

What is Transistor?
It's a shop and gallery, with work and wares from 80+ artists, many based in Chicago. It's a recording space and screening room, with live music, movie nights, and a webcast. Time Out Chicago likens Transistor to 'your coolest friend's apartment ... and just like that apartment, you'll want to hang out here a lot.' If you're in Chicago, we'd love to see you; as of May 5, we're open in the Andersonville neighborhood, 5224 N. Clark Street, inside Poshwire. (The Broadway location is now closed.)
This website looks forward, with a calendar of upcoming events, and backward, with an archive of event recordings and photos. And now, you can shop here too! We've broken the online store into seven categories: art, books, records, electronics, "wearables," home goods, and cards & stationery; there's a rundown of the products that fall into those categories below.
Oh, and don't forget to check out our Transistor Radio webcast. We're pretty excited about it.
The art currently featured in the shop is comprised of prints and photography by more than 80 artists, among them printmakers Hiroshi Ariyama, Jennifer Burak (Zerobird Studio) and Dan Grzeca, collagist Beth Hoeckel, photographers William Harper, Tim Jarosz, Brad Meese, Kent Drake Morien, Ellie Pritts, Trevor Parks, Rafael Rivera and Carl Vogtman, and iPad painter Steve Connell. If you're looking for something to display on your wall or hang on a shelf, check out our collection of wood block art prints from Kevin Lucius (LuciusArt) and Chris Degiso (Dark Island City). Tony Frankenberg creates city map art prints under the name Mr City Printing, and Jennifer Burak offers prints depicting, in corresponding color, the various CTA train lines (Blue, Brown, Green, Orange, Red, Orange, Pink, Purple). Duluth-based The Medium Control's 'Drop the Needle' print -- available in various sizes and colors -- is a mainstay at Transistor.
Our books come from art & culture publishers, several university presses, and more.

Show time is 8:00 and performances generally run till 10:00 p.m., with set lengths ranging from 20 to 50 minutes. We book a wide range of music that includes (but is not limited to) indie rock, electronica, experimental, noise, hip-hop, soul, folk, Americana, jazz, and classical. Transistor also welcomes Chicago collaborative combo The Ayuda Quartet for monthly Second Sundays at Six concerts. You can find a rundown of upcoming events here, or simply click the events schedule image to enlarge it. Our schedule also comes in calendar form.

Transistor also hosts regular film screenings, in which a guest curator, often Michael Glover Smith, presents a film and leads a discussion about it afterwards. Other nights we present short and feature-length films made by local and independent film makers.
On the first Wednesday of the month, Transistor plays host to Back of the Party with Dave Maher, intimate public conversations with comedians and other artists about art, work and life, and recorded for a monthly podcast. Every "Back of the Party" features two guests, each of whom starts the show with a performance before they both sit down for a free-flowing conversation with Dave.
On the last Sunday of every month, we present Classic Album Sundays, an album listening experience organized and presented by Chicago record enthusiast Sam Willett.

Here's a selection of print and online write-ups of the shop.
Soon after opening in our current location at 3441 N. Broadway, Serena Dai wrote this story for DNAinfo.com. It includes a nice five-photo slideshow, some of the first images published of our Broadway space.
Transistor Solves the Cultural Omnivore's Dilemma
In June 2012 Transistor was featured by the Center Square Journal in what we think is the best article written to date about the shop. The article was written by Patty Wetli, who calls Transistor "a hub for cultural omnivores — both those who consume it and those who produce it."
Biking Lincoln Avenue: A 24-hour trek reveals the return of a great city street
In June 2012 Transistor was featured in a Time Out Chicago story by Jason A. Heidemann. If you read the article you'll have to scroll down and look carefully to find us.
A Look at Transistor: A Bookstore and Then Some
In April 2012 Gapers Block published the first article written about Transistor in our new location at 3819 N. Lincoln Avenue. Reporter Claire Glass wrote, "Visually, the store is as appealing as a well curated art gallery crossed with a thoughtfully decorated apartment."
In July 2011 Transistor was listed by the shopping and style website Racked as one of the 38 Most Essential Shops in Chicago. See the piece.
In April 2011 Chicago weekly newspaper New City included Transistor in its Record Store Day issue. Read the story.
Transistor: An Andersonville Shop for the Art/Book/Music Lover
In April 2011 UpChicago.com, "the insider's guide to urban life," featured Transistor in a very nice article by Molly Tranberg. (Some of the information is now out of date, in part due to our move, but it's an article that we are very happy to have discovered!)
Amplifying Neighborhood Artists in Andersonville, Chicago
From J.F. at Trazzler.com: "Browsing at Transistor is like hanging out in your hippest friend's living room. The owners -- two artists who are as personable as they are enterprising -- have converted their modest storefront into a local mecca for high-end audio gadgets, amateur photography, diverse music selections and community events that range from film showings to software tutorials to live podcasts. It's probably the only shop in the city where you can order an apple juice on a hot summer's day and walk out an hour later with both a hand-crafted lamp and a turntable that converts vinyl to mp3s. It's distinctive, unclassifiable places like this that lend neighborhoods their unique character."
Bookstore Profiles: Transistor
Transistor owners Rani Woolpert and Andy Miles were interviewed by Web publication GapersBlock.com; Amy Ganser wrote the introduction and asked the questions. The piece appeared January 13, 2011.
In Chicago, Village Life in a Big City
Transistor appeared in the Sunday Travel section of The New York Times on October 17, 2010, with a handful of other Andersonville spots. The online version, a slide show with photos by Sally Ryan, was published two days earlier.
Stay and Play Award
In August 2010 Time Out Chicago gave us their Stay and Play award in the Shopping Awards: Critics' Picks section of their online and print editions of August 19-25, 2010. In both a large photo appeared depicting webcast hosts Jeremy Pautz and Sayward Schoonmaker met in a game of Sunday night pingpong.
Tune in to Transistor
Also that month, on January 27th, the Chicago Tribune profiled the shop in a three-quarter-page spread in its Play section, with lovely photographs by Phil Velasquez. The online version of the story (which is no longer available) called Transistor a "unique mix of hangout and shop." Read the story.
Clark Street Retailers See Online Parallels
On January 20, 2010, Northwestern University fashion publication Stitch published a story on its website (and subsequently in print, we've heard) that talked about various Andersonville shops, including ours.
Read the story.
Transistor opens in Andersonville
Soon after we opened, Time Out Chicago ran a short story about Transistor in the Shopping & Style section of their October 22-28, 2009 print and online editions. The piece likened Transistor to "your coolest friend's apartment."
We were also written up by AskMen, Chicago Home & Garden Magazine and The Illinois Entertainer.
Danielle Echols is a Chicago-based PR specialist who loves producing shows that promote local creatives. Her most recent endeavors include co-creating Can We Kick It Chicago, a brunch that features performances by Chicago hip-hop and soul artists; and serving as the program manager for Collective Voices, Chicago's Ethnographic Film Festival.

Daniell can be found hanging out at Transistor most Saturday mornings. You can also hear her voice on Transistor's webcast, interviewing local creatives as a contributor to Depth of Field.
Raised in Oklahoma and Cincinnati, Dave Maher is a Chicagoan of a dozen years and as many apartments. He started acting and improvising comedy around the city in 2008, until he transcended improv and realized that stand-up is where his brand of loose, conversational honesty fits best. Fresh off the sold-out success of his debut one-man show about the coma he suffered in 2014 ("Dave Maher Coma Show"), he produces and hosts Back of the Party at Transistor on the second Saturday of every month. He also manages the store's online sales.
Andy Miles has written for various publications on the arts, history & culture, made audio documentaries, worked in radio and public television, owned and operated a company specializing in congressional hearing transcripts, and since 2009 owned and managed Transistor.

He is active in honey bunches of music-y, sound-y things around Chicago, including playing in XYZR_KX, Volutes, and Feature Flick; writing and playing in musicals at the Annoyance Theatre; and doing original music and sound design for commercials, documentaries, and Web stuff. Keep tabs on him at www.jonmonteverde.com (and visit the Recordings page to find dozens of sets he has recorded for Transistor).
Rani Young (Woolpert) is a Chicago-based artist, musician and designer. The recipient of a 2014 Individual Artist Grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, Rani works out of her studio at Fulton Street Collective, with her current focus on narrative figurative oil paintings. She has a BFA from Colorado State University and a post-baccalaureate from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2009, Rani co-founded Transistor, from which she curated a weekly music performance series, hosted a radio interview show, and taught fine art and design software classes to hundreds of students; she stepped away from those roles in 2011. Rani is a graphic designer, creating digital signage, print materials and outdoor advertising for Hyatt, Hilton, Omni and other hotel clients. She is also the lead singer in three Chicago bands: Girl Detective, Dreams of Falling and Dream House (the latter a Siouxsie and the Banshees tribute band). Visit Rani's website.

New Stock Coverage: Ominous Echoes of '87 at Aeropostale?
Justin Sharon
Wall street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
To the myriad other milestones set on
Guinness World Records Day
, we can add two more, for the
Dow Average
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) and
S&P 500 Index
(INDEXSP:.INX) each reached historic peaks. Brooklyn's 67-year-old Janet Yellen,
dressed all in black
as befits any hipster from her borough, sent US stock markets up again with dovish testimony at her confirmation hearing to head the Fed.
(NASDAQ:AMZN), up another 3.14% to a lifetime best, was a money tree although, alas, the same can't be said for the
sadly truncated forest
from which it takes its name. Among other equities on the move, the Old Gray Lady Ms. Yellen met her match in a
Hollywood graybeard
, whose beloved
Sony Corporation
(NYSE:SNE) surged 3.96% on a

Fifty Shades of Grey
? No thanks, not when
handling the book can give you herpes

Tesla Motors
(NASDAQ:TSLA) gave up another 0.79% after a machinery malfunction that resulted in three of its workers being injured by hot metal. Mr Musk's employee approval rating,
already less than stellar
, may be set to fall further.
In terms of economic events that may move US markets this morning, September wholesale inventories are expected to ease off slightly from the pace seen in August at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. Regarding specific stocks,
Maximus, Inc.
(NYSE:MMS) beat Street estimates when it reported quarterly results earlier this morning.
(NYSE:ARO): Aeropostale, the adolescent clothing company whose
shirts celebrate one of Wall Street's worst-ever years
, is assigned an uninspiring Neutral at Mizuho. Investors have indeed lost their shirts in Aeropostale stock over the past 12 months; shares have slumped some 30.79%.
Arena Pharmaceuticals
(NASDAQ:ARNA): WallachBeth begins the stock at a Buy, citing its potential in the obesity segment. The price objective is $9.
(NYSE:KMT): Goldman Sachs starts Neutral-rated coverage on KMT.
Marlin Midstream Partners
(NASDAQ:FISH): FISH is a fresh Buy with Wunderlich, whose target price is $20. Catalysts include the company's recurring fee-based business model.

Abercrombie & Fitch
American Eagle Outfitters

Chronicle columnist Milly Johnson is up for an award for her book, It's Raining Men.
The Barnsley author has been shortlisted for the Romantic Novellists' Association annual awards in the romantic comedy novel category and will find out if she's won at a ceremony in London on March 17, being presented by Strictly Coming Dancing's Darcey Bussell.
Milly said she was delighted: "I feel as if I'm up for an Oscar, that's how excited I am. Especially as, in the past, I was told that I should stop dreaming about writing stories and concentrate on getting a proper job - that I should stop fooling myself that ordinary girls from Barnsley wrote books."
The winner will receive a cheque for £5000 and a trophy.

|Vandals win second straight
SAN JOSE, Calif. - A 7-0 run to close the game erased a late deficit and gave the Idaho women's basketball team a 67-63 win over San Jose State Saturday night.
Two Vandals (7-16, 2-5 Western Athletic Conference) notched double-doubles in the game, as freshman Krissy Karr finished with 13 points and a career-high 10 assists, while sophomore Alyssa Charlston had 14 points and matched her career high with 16 rebounds in the game. Karr hit 5-of-10 shots from the field, including 3-of-7 from 3-point range, while Charlston went 6-of-11 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free throw line.
Idaho senior Keri Arendse finished with 13 points, eight rebounds and two assists. Arendse went 2-of-2 from the free throw line, as she iced the game with a pair of free throws with under 10 seconds left and the Vandals leading by two.
"I saved that last timeout and drew that up for Keri to get the ball," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said of the games decisive free throws. "I have total confidence in Keri at the line with the game on the line. She is one tough kid, she is not afraid of anything."
Vandal freshman Stacey Barr chipped in with 11 points on 4-of-12 shooting in the game. Tayler Weiks finished with eight points in the game, and hit a 3-pointer with 54 seconds left that sparked Idaho's 7-0 and gave the Vandals a two-point lead, one they would not give up.
"Right there I was going to call a timeout," Newlee said, before Weiks hit the lead-changing 3-pointer. "I thought I might set something up, but she was there and I thought we' d just let it roll and I was just hoping she would take it. She stepped up with confidence. She shot the ball with confidence, and make or miss, I just want them to shoot with confidence."
Idaho entered its two-game road trip on an eight-game losing streak, but won at Hawai'i on Thursday before topping SJSU (8-14, 3-4 WAC) Saturday.
"This whole trip was a total team effort," Newlee said. "They really came together as a group on this trip and the results speak for themselves."
The Vandals hit 26-of-67 field goals in the game and 10-of-32 3-pointers. Idaho also connected on all five of its free throw attempts. San Jose State shot 37.9 percent in the game and hit 6-of-18 3-pointers. The Vandals owned a 41-36 rebounding advantage including an 18-14 advantage on the offensive end. However, SJSU outscored Idaho 18-14 in second chance points.
Idaho ended an eight-game losing streak with a win at Hawai'i on Thursday, its first road win of the season, making it back-to-back wins for the first time since Feb. 2 of 2011 by winning at San Jose State on Saturday night. The win brings Idaho just one game out of fourth place in the WAC standings.
"It was an opportunity to get back in the race if we could pull of something special and get a road sweep and we did," Newlee said.
The Vandals return home next week to host New Mexico State on Feb. 9 and Louisiana Tech on Feb. 11. Both games start at 5:30 p.m. in the Cowan Spectrum and are the first half of a doubleheader with the Vandal men's team.

Not only do directors have to choose the songs, but also keep in mind how the individual choir members will perform the song and how the audience will react to the performance.
Along those same lines, the songs need to be surrounded by other songs that will add to the flow of the set list.
"There is a three-legged stool of the audience, the singers and the placement of the pieces, that keeps things in balance," said Dr. Brady Allred, director of the Salt Lake Choral Artists. "It's like being a director for a movie or TV show. You have to put the story in a certain order to draw attention to it."
That's what Allred did when he selected the songs that the Salt Lake Vocal Artists, the touring group of the Salt Lake Choral Artists, will perform in Park City tonight, Oct. 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the Park City Community Church, 4501 S.R. 224.
"The selections also help the singers themselves become better at their craft," Allred said. "They have to learn to adapt and to find the right kinds of vocal sounds for a piece."
Allred also picks the songs that appeal to him personally.
"I like to challenge myself as well," he said.
The Park City concert will feature 15 songs that have been divided into four different groupings "Music and Nature," "Latin Motets," "Two Hymns" and "American Folk Songs and Hymns," Allred said.
"We have a program of a wide variety of music," he explained. "The Vocal Artists are preparing for a tour to Bulgaria and Turkey in May, so some of the pieces we will present will be on the program."
The title of the concert is "Jubilate Deo," and the title piece, which will kick off the "Latin Motets" section, was written by Ko Matsushita, a Japanese composer.
"Ko is a friend of the choir and has written music for the vocal artists before," Allred said. "This work is a very exciting piece for an a cappella choir."
Another Latin-flavored work is the Utah premiere of Eric Whitacre's "Alleluia."
"Eric has been a very popular composer for the past 10 years or so and this piece was just released," Allred said. "Like 'Jubilate Deo,' 'Alleluia' is another beautiful setting."
The "Music and Nature" section will feature excerpts from Ola Gieilo's "Sunrise Mass" and Samuel Barber's "To Be Sung on the Water," and the "Two Hymns" selections will be Stephen Paulus' "Little Elegy" and Ronald Staheli's arrangement of "More Holiness Give Me," Allred said.
The "American Folk Songs and Folk Hymns" will close the concert and will feature an arrangement of "Cindy" by Minnesotan composer Carol Barnett and a setting of "Amazing Grace" arranged by Daniel Brinsmead, who hails from Australia.
"We'll also do a version of 'She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain' arranged by an American, John Carter," Allred said. "So, you can see that the concert features quite a variety of styles and I think it will be attractive to the audience."
Allred said choral music suffers because, as with other performing arts, it competes with multi forms of entertainment and sports events. And there are times when a choral program can be detrimental to itself.
"As a lover of choir music, myself, there are times when I've been to choral concerts that have been quite boring, so I know how an audience member feels," he said with a laugh. "I don't like that any more than anyone else.
"When I'm designing a program, I want to take audiences through wide ranges of emotions and experiences and tempos," Allred said. "There is nothing worse than going to a concert and it's all slow music, so I try to make our concerts attractive to even people who are weary of going to a choir concert."
Doing so, Allred features works by international composers and arrangements that many people have never heard before.
"Many times we do pieces in foreign languages to get the diction to a level where the audience can hear the textures of the words, without having to print the words in the program," he said. "Also, when we sing in English, it's important for the audience to understand the words, because if they can't hear the words, they tune it out and start texting their friends on their cell phones. If we can draw them in, we can get a few more choral converts."
Allred, a former vocal professor at the University of Utah, has always loved music and became a church choir director when he was 14 while living in Memphis, Tenn.
"I loved it so much that it took me on a path towards music," he said. "My greatest love is doing choral and orchestra repertoire together."
Throughout the years, Allred had developed strong relationships with composers all over the world.
"They like what we're doing and offer to write music for us," he said. "The audience in Park City will hear some of these pieces before anyone else in this region or the country."
The Salt Lake Vocal Artists, the touring group of the Salt Lake Choral Artists, will perform tonight, Oct. 13, at 7:30 p.m., at the Park City Community Church, 4501 S.R. 224. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students at the door. The Salt Lake Choral Artists season opener, which will be a reflection of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic will be on Oct. 20, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at Libby Gardner Concert Hall on the University of Utah campus.

Artist Details
Sandra St. Victor
A trained opera singer, the Dallas born, Holland based singer/songwriter Sandra St. Victor is very much an artist's artist. Through the years she has earned the respect and admiration of her peers and has the accolades to show it. The down to earth and humble force of nature has recorded with Curtis Mayfield and had her own songs recorded by everyone from Prince and Common to Chaka Kahn and Tina Turner. Her music has even appeared on the silver screen, including the movie Shrek. An undeniable performer onstage, St. Victor has logged hours on the road touring alongside such diverse stars as Roy Ayers' Ubiquity, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Ziggy Marley. Known and loved as a founding member of the ground-breaking trio The Family Stand, the prolific singer/songwriter has been converting fans note by note over the past two decades with her soulful and potent elixir of R&B, Rock, Gospel and Jazz. Recently Ebony Magazine touted St. Victor as a "singer who rocks," alongside such icons as Grace Jones and others. St. Victor counts Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix and Elton John, as among her diverse influences.
A graduate of Booker T. Washington High School of the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, TX, which churned out fellow stars Erykah Badu and Roy Hargrove, St. Victor moved to New York in the early 80s to join Roy Ayers and his touring band, Ubiquity. It was not long before Sandra St. Victor found work singing and touring with everyone from Chaka Khan to Freddie Jackson and Glenn Jones.
Through singer Lisa Fischer, Sandra met Peter Lord and Jeffrey Smith and the kindred musical spirits united to create progressive and critically acclaimed, The Family Stand. In 1993, Sandra recorded the album Sanctuary for Elektra Records which unfortunately was never released. However, several of the album's songs were recorded by other artists including the title track which Prince recorded for his CD Emancipation, renaming it "Soul Sanctuary." Chaka Khan also recorded St. Victor's "I'll Never Open My Legs Again," on her album, Come to My House. Prince recorded it as well, renaming it "I'll Never Be Another Fool." Tina Turner also recorded St. Victor's "Whatever You Want." In 1996, Mack Diva Saves The WorldL was released on Warner Brothers. Around this same time Sandra St. Victor had the honor to record the duet, "I Believe In You" with Curtis Mayfield on what was to become the icon's final recording, New World Order. In 2001 St. Victor released Gemini: Both Sides independently. In 2010 she released SSV's Sinner Child, a collection of soulful dance floor anthems produced by Mark de Clive-Lowe.
Sandra St. Victor is a visionary and only a visionary could unite, on one stage as a touring unit Nona Hendryx of LaBelle, Joyce Kennedy of Mother's Finest, multi-Grammy Award- winner Deniece Williams, Caron Wheeler of Soul II Soul, Lalah Hathaway daughter of Donny Hathaway, Indira, Khan daughter of Chaka, Simone, daughter of Nina Simone, and Leah McCrae, daughter of George & Gwen McCrae. She called this remarkable lineup Daughters of Soul and together they toured the festival circuit with performances at Nice Jazz, Pori Jazz, Java Jazz in Jakarta, and elsewhere.

EUGENE, Ore. – Ariel Thomas knocked down a pair of free throws with nine-tenths of a second remaining as Oregon held on for a win, 83-80, versus Pepperdine on Monday night at Matthew Knight Arena. Jillian Alleyne recorded her 15th career double-double, posting 21 points and 17 rebounds to lead the Ducks.
Oregon improved to 3-2 with the win while the Waves fell to 2-3.
"We had two losses (in a row) and turned around to get a win tonight," head coach Paul Westhead said. "I'm happy for that and hopefully we can move forward."
Katelyn Loper scored 10 of her 19 points in the second half to go along with six rebounds and 5-of-16 shooting from beyond the arc. Chrishae Rowe chipped in with 15 points and six boards. Rowe entered the game ranked No. 6 in the nation averaging 26 points per game.
After a big second half comeback by the Waves, Oregon needed to pull together at the end to secure the win.
With 1:20 on the clock, Rowe stole the ball above the free throw line and pulled up for a soft floater to give the Ducks an 81-76 lead, forcing Pepperdine to call a timeout. The Waves converted out of their timeout as Rowe had the ball taken away in the paint down on the other end. Ea shoushtari put Pepperdine within one, at 81-80, with a breakaway layup with 29 seconds on the clock.
Alleyne had an opportunity to extend the Ducks' lead with time ticking away but missed a pair of shots. Pepperdine pushed the ball toward its bench before calling a timeout with six seconds remaining. Alleyne redeemed herself following that timeout and stole the post-entry pass from Shoushtari with three seconds left on the clock.
Westhead called a timeout to regroup the Ducks before Thomas was fouled on the inbounds pass and knocked down two clutch free-throws to secure the win.
"I wasn't here last year, but I heard one of the things this team struggled with was finishing," said the freshman guard Rowe. "This is a big step, we shouldn't have been in that position, but we came out with the win."
"We need to defend better," Westhead said. "Bottom line is, if the opponent has the ball, they need to feel the heat. If they're not feeling the heat, then we're at risk."
Leading 48-32 at halftime, Oregon used a 10-2 run to start the second half that was capped off by Alleyne's free throw to give the Ducks their biggest lead, 58-34, with 16:06 on the clock.
The teams exchanged some buckets before the Waves mounted a 21-6 run that lasted 5:48 before Alleyne hit a pair of free throws at the 7:02 mark to make it a 67-59 Oregon lead.
Loper gave Oregon a 79-73 advantage with a huge three-pointer from the top of the key at 2:09 but Shoushtari answered right back with one of her own from the left wing.As a team, Oregon shot 34.8 percent from the field and went 10-of-32 from downtown. The Ducks held a 23-7 edge over the Waves on the offensive boards.
Despite shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 5-of-14 from three-point range, a 20-8 Oregon advantage in second-chance points was too much for Pepperdine to overcome.
Bria Richardson led the Waves with 19 points on 9-of-16 shooting from the field while Allie Green chipped in with 12. Shoushtari ended the night with 17 points and 11 boards.
Oregon returns to action at noon on Sun., Dec. 1, at Matthew Knight Arena as the Ducks entertain Princeton.
POSTGAME NOTES: Jillian Alleyne posted her 15th career double-double and third of the season with a game-high 21 points and season-high 17 rebounds…Alleyne registered a career-high four assists…Ariel Thomas was close to a triple-double, tallying nine points, seven assists and tied her career-best with 11 rebounds…Katelyn Loper knocked down five three-pointers but needed 16 attempts…That did not break the school record of 21, set by Jamie Craighead against Iowa in 2001…Oregon is 3-0 when leading at halftime and 0-2 when down at the break…Oregon is also 3-0 when shooting better than 30% from three-point range…The Ducks lost to Sacramento State after shooting 18.9 percent from long range and 25 percent at No. 1 ranked UConn…Oregon went 9-of-11 at the free throw line, including two by Ariel Thomas on a 1-and-1 in the final second to ice the game…The Ducks' 81.8 percent clip at the free throw line against Pepperdine was their best of the season, beating the 76.7 percent mark they posted against Portland.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Sophomore Nicole Long beat UNLV's Anett Ferenczi-Bako in the Flight Two singles semifinals on Saturday afternoon to advance to the championship match on Sunday at the Freeman Memorial in Las Vegas, Nev.
Long's victory came in two sets (6-4, 6-1) and she will meet Stanford's Natalie Dillon, who beat UNLV's Alexis Garrett (6-1, 6-1), in Sunday's championship.
"Nicole played great today," said head coach Paul Reber. "It was a tough match and she was able to persevere. I'm really proud of her."
Long, a sophomore, is in her first season with the Oregon tennis program. She competed at the University of Oklahoma during the 2011-12 season.
Elsewhere, senior Patricia Skowronski dropped a tough three-set match in the Flight One consolation round to sixth-seeded Whitney Kay (North Carolina), who entered the tournament ranked No. 21 in the nation.
"[Skowronski] put together a great match and played really well also," Reber said. "Unfortunately, she just wasn't able to pull another upset like yesterday. Kay was a great competitor."
Skowronski beat Florida's Danielle Collins, ranked No. 22 in the country, in yesterday's Flight One opening round. Fellow senior Julia Metzger lost to eighth-seeded and 28th-ranked Zoe De Bruycker (North Carolina) in her consolation singles match, 6-2, 6-2.
In doubles consolation matches, Skowronski and Long beat UNLV's Iren Kotseva and Aleksandra Josifoska, 8-3, and Sofia Hager teamed with Metzger to drop a tight 8-7 match to Janine Erasmus and Ferenczi-Bako of UNLV.
The Freeman Memorial concludes in Las Vegas, Nev., tomorrow afternoon.

Book synopsis
The unfolding of Paulo Freire's philosophy, uniqueness, and the lens through which he viewed the world, which ultimately brought this gentle spirit of a man onto the world stage, began at a young age in his hometown of Recife, Brazil. Remarkably grounded in the wisdom of humility, yet gifted with a determined strength, deep insight, and perceptive intelligence, Freire not only believed in the human spirit, goodness, and the fostering of a more hopeful world, but was also profoundly committed to challenging individuals and political, educational, and religious structures that perpetuated the status quo. To that same end, this book recounts the life and thought of a remarkable man who appeared at a critical point in history, and whose courageous, prophetic voice of conscience remains extraordinarily relevant.
About the author(s)/editor(s)

He has taught at the University of South Alabama, Universidad Evángelica del Paraguay, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and for many years at the elementary school level; he is the recipient of several teaching awards. His research interests are in the areas of teacher leadership, curriculum development, literacy, and critical pedagogy.

«If Paulo Freire could read this book, he would certainly be happy with how James D. Kirylo has presented his thought, faithfully and respectfully recreating him without distortion.» (Ana Maria Araújo Freire)
«James D. Kirylo's insightful book is a great complement to Paulo Freire's 'Letters to Cristina' and Ana Maria Araújo Freire's 'Paulo Freire: Uma História de Vida […]' Reading Kirylo's book reminds me, once again, how I feel enormously blessed for having had the opportunity to work and collaborate with Paulo Freire so closely for many years. » (Donaldo Macedo, University of Massachusetts Boston)
«Paulo Freire has cultivated the ground for a long revolution, and James D. Kirylo's outstanding new work has skillfully and with prescient insight illuminated this ground in ways few books on Freire have managed to accomplish […] Kirylo's book reminds us that while the path made by Paulo Freire was a singular path, it has, over the decades, formed an international hub where travelers worldwide can gather and find rest and replenishment in order to take up again the long walk towards revolution.» (Peter McLaren, University of California, Los Angeles)

Jkarpg - Flames of war!
JKARPG Roleplay 'Clan'
Introduction The Flames Of War
Welcome to 4200 A.B.Y, welcome to war, only it isn't an active war, its a war that couldn't continue, a war that made the once rich and plentiful galaxy shattered, begging for clemency and time to rebuild.
A hundred years of war has exhausted the Galaxy and reduced it to rubble. Old hatreds and a sense of superiority led the Sith into an invasion of the Republic only to see a stalemate take place after 70 years of total war. The stalemate continues to this day, but a hatred for force user's is swelling now that they are the Bane of the Republic...What will happen next ? Sign up and make your will reality.
WebsiteJKARPG is an informal, freeform roleplay; we are focused on collaborative storytelling and character development above all else. Most importantly, JKARPG was created to draw out a certain kind of community. We named ourselves "the voice of the people," because at JKARPG are people who demand that all voices be heard, that all members have a place to be themselves and tell their stories without fear that conflicts will turn into drama, or that well-meaning administrators will turn into tyrants.
Respect, above all else, is the law of the land, especially when we disagree, and this respect should be shared equally with everyone. We built a progressive and accepting community based on this law, so if you can abide by this single rule why don't you stop by? We'd love to see you around.
Currently we have two 32 man dedicated servers running a unique mod :). If you have any further questions please visit our website and a member of our staff shall be able to answer any queries you have.
Thanks for reading :)

Does anyone make a full-size wired keyboard that has an integrated trackpad, preferably Synaptics?
I see a lot of them out there that are designed as if the keyboard and trackpad were ripped off of a laptop. (So as to emulate the carpal-tunnel experience of typing on a laptop without the convenience of having a laptop? Getting someone to whack your hands with a mallet would be cheaper.) And there are a few that a full-size, but wireless, like the Logitech DiNovo. But I don't see anything that looks like a real keyboard plus a trackpad that is also wired.

There's something about this shot that I love. I was walking around Capitol Hill in Seattle when I got kicked out of the backstage area of the Capitol Hill Block Party for taking photos (Who knew a backstage pass didn't mean free rein to take photos of the artists? At least I got a couple rolls off before they got me…)
Happy Holidays y'all. Kodak Portra 160.
