UNION CITY -- Guy Emanuele Jr., a highly regarded former New Haven Unified School District superintendent and Fremont school board member, has died, his family announced Monday. Emanuele, who had been battling complications from Parkinson's disease, died early Sunday. He was 83.
He led the district from 1976 to 1998, a crucial period of growth for Union City and New Haven Unified, officials said. He "found New Haven a district of bricks, and he left it a district of marble," said former Union City Mayor Mark Green. "He was the most important person in the school district's history."
Union City's Guy Emanuele Jr. Elementary School was named in his honor after he retired.
Emanuele was born in 1930 in Oil City, Pa., north of Pittsburgh, and graduated from the University of Notre Dame. He began his teaching career in 1956 in the Decoto School District, one of three districts later incorporated into New Haven Unified.
After two decades as a teacher, counselor and administrator, he was hired as New Haven Unified's superintendent in 1976. The 11-year-old district had already had three superintendents by that time. Emanuele brought stability to the young district and quickly improved its culture, district leaders said.
He led the charge in building new schools, including an alternative high school, and voters showed their trust in him by passing three bond measures during his tenure.
New Haven Unified officials say he did much to create the district's legacy of excellence in the arts, athletics and other activities that kept students engaged in academics. Under Emanuele's leadership, James Logan High's marching band and forensics team earned national recognition, and its sports programs won numerous Mission Valley Athletic League titles.
"I'm really an old-fashioned guy," Emanuele told this newspaper in 2006. "(I want) to educate the whole man, not just in science and language, but in music and athletics. That is part of developing a positive character, a good character."
After retiring from New Haven Unified, Emanuele twice was elected to the Fremont school board, serving from December 1998 to January 2006.
"In just about every meeting I attend, people talk about the Guy Emanuele days," said Arlando Smith, New Haven Unified's interim co-superintendent and chief academic officer. "The man's legacy is embedded in the model of what the district should be and the way people should be treated."
Emanuele is survived by his wife, Kay Emanuele, of Fremont; daughters Rosalyn Reasor and Lisa Lockyer; sons Guy Emanuele III and Pete Emanuele; and eight grandchildren.
Private services will be held later this week. A public memorial is scheduled from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Jan. 23 at Logan High School's Guy Emanuele Jr. Pavilion, 1800 H St., Union City.

UPDATE: The final vote is in and a winner has been declared, with Matt Asay and his arguments for the GPL taking the prize. You can see the debate or follow links to the other judges' votes and thoughts here.
This is my assessment as a judge of the recent open source license debate held by the FOSS Learning Centre. We'll have to begin with some qualifications and definitions, starting with the fact that there is no 'best' open source software license. Still, a star-studded open source software panel provided a lively, …[Read more...]

The South Bay has a new star. One of the area's brightest young singers was crowned the winner at the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center's third annual South Bay Teen Idol contest held on March 22.
The sold-out event featured 10 area junior high and high school students, each singing one solo and two group numbers with all of the songs falling under this year's theme, songs from movie soundtracks.
Pioneer High School's Danika Lam took the top honor after her flawless rendition of the ballad "Bound to You" from the movie Burlesque. Lam, who said she has always wanted to be a singer, was a part of the competition last year as well. However, she added the South Bay Teen Idol event is her only competitive singing experience so far.
"I couldn't really believe it when they called my name," Lam said. "I was just in shock and really excited. I didn't even know what to think. The whole thing has been a lot of fun and a lot of work. It's just been such a great experience."
The competition's second-place winner was also its youngest competitor and the only male. Michael Mulea, 13, from San Jose's Sylvandale Middle School, impressed the audience and judges with his confidence and swagger as he took on a classic, Sam Cooke's 1964 song, "A Change is Gonna Come," from the movie Malcolm X.
"I feel absolutely ecstatic about coming in second. I didn't expect to get first being in my first year, and I was definitely not expecting to make the top three," he said. "I'm really happy for Danika and everyone else. They all had really great performances, and I have the utmost respect for them all."
Coming in third was Monta Vista High School's Alice Tsvinev, who chose the song "Titanium" from the movie Pitch Perfect. This was her third year in the competition, which she said was so much stronger than in years past and she was not expecting to make the top three.
"It was a huge surprise," she says of the judges calling her name. "I just wanted to start crying on stage because I was so surprised and shocked."
She added that the entire experience was a roller coaster ride.
"There were a lot of ups and downs. We put a lot of work into it, and it was really emotional," she said. "There were a lot of smiles and a lot of frowns, and everyone got sick at some point. It was incredibly intense."
Auditions for the competition began in January, when contestants were invited to the JCC to sing a one-minute a capella song. Of the more than 50 young singers who auditioned, 20 where chosen to move on to the semifinal round, which was also a live show. The judges then chose 10 to advance to the finals.
Rounding out the list of the 10 finalists for this year's competition were: Gabi Trapani and Catherine Mosher of Los Gatos High; Gabriela Sepulveda of Summit San Jose Tahoma; Isabelle Beckman of Santa Cruz High; Julia Rogers of Mountain View High; Lauren Waite of Egan Junior High; and Natasha Turcan of Leigh High.
During the final show, three local music heavyweights were responsible for judging the talent: Anthony Cordova, founder and principal of Story Road Entertainment, a Bay Area and Los Angeles-based artist management company with clientele that includes American Idol and TV personality Kimberly Caldwell; Marla Davies, morning DJ at Bay Area radio station Mix 106.5; and Robert Hayes, founder, chairman and CEO of Sound Management Inc., best known for managing the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated band Smash Mouth.
The judges didn't have the final say, though. After choosing their top three, they turned the final decision over to the audience, whose members cast their votes for their favorite.
"I hate judging. It's so hard," Davies said. "We've seen these guys since the auditions in January and have seen them grow so much through the process. They are all so good. We watched them tonight and thought, 'Do we really have to pick three?' It was just impossible."
Cordova agreed that the decision was tough given that everyone's performance was fantastic.
"It definitely took a while," he said. "There was a lot of deliberating. We argued and fought about some stuff, but at the end of the day those three stood true, and we all stood by the decision."
In the end, Cordova said, it all came down to little nuances.
"All three that we put through were completely different. Each had something unique about them," Cordova said. "The things we looked at were feeling the song, song choice, overall performance and being comfortable on stage. These three definitely had all of it."
Leading up to their final performances, the 10 singers worked several days a week in rehearsals with director Jen Copaken, vocal director Andrew Ford and choreographer Kelly Jamello.
"They all did really amazing," Jamello said. "They all worked so hard, and they had happy little hearts. They would come in for rehearsal and then go home and rehearse. Then they would come back and it was even better than I thought it could look. It was just awesome."
Catherine Mosher of Los Gatos, who also competed last year but only made it as far as the semifinals, said the experience was amazing and fun.
"I don't get to perform that often, so to get to perform and do something I love was really awesome," she said.
The top three finishers received individual cash prizes ranging from $500 to $2,500, with Danika receiving an additional $500 for her school's music program.
"With a lot of schools' music departments kind of withering, it's a small token of something we can do to give back," said Diana Schnabel, the JCC's director of hospitality and special projects, and the producer of the contest.
Finalist Gabi Trapani, also of Los Gatos, said she would definitely encourage any young person interested in performing to audition for next year's competition.
"It's been a great opportunity for me," she said. "Anyone with a passion for performing on stage, South Bay Teen Idol gives you a great opportunity to do that."

1. A fantastic year: 23:04
Every year is better and better. This year was more intense and tumultuous than the last, filled with challenges and accomplishments and new opportunities. I growed a lot, too. It was painful, particularly coming to terms with the very real stress that travel and distance can put on relationships. But it's the kind of pain that forces you to keep growing, and I'm looking forward to next year and the years after that.
The key lesson I learned this year was that of finding my own happiness. Not that I've figured everything out—no, I have a long way to go. But I'm getting better at making my own decisions and standing up for them; not accepting just what everyone else accepts, instead reaching for more; and also being open to the experiences and insights of other people around me—open, but selective.
This year, I felt the limits of books and magazine articles. Some of the things I think about, some of the things I deal with... I can't find best practices. I can't find research. I just have to keep figuring things out until I get deeper insights that connect to lots of other people's experiences.
I'll share some of my goals for next year in another blog post. I know it will be an amazing year. =)

Tri-Valley Repertory Theatre has created an astonishingly bright production of "The Full Monty," mining the musical for all its emotional depth and wild humor.
I wasn't expecting to be surprised by the production; it was the sixth time I'd seen the show. But I was profoundly surprised. What in my mind had been a nice, warm musical about a group of out-of-work steel workers staging a strip show to earn some much-needed cash turned out to be something much more.
Director John Maio and his cast have found in Terrence McNally's script a world of wisdom on the human condition, particularly the relationships between husbands and wives, while squeezing each chuckle and belly-laugh out of the show.
At the heart of this musical is the teetering relationship between Jerry Lukowski (Todd Carver) and his estranged wife, Pam (Sue Claire Jones), who is threatening to block Jerry's access to his son, Nathan (Max DeSantis), unless he can come up with overdue support money.
Jerry is inspired -- or desperate enough -- to try a new way of making money: stripping. A professional male-stripping company had just made a killing in the town, and Jerry figures a troupe of local talent would be even better. He promises his guys will go the full monty when it comes to the stripping part.
His pals are hesitant, but when he tells them there will be about $50,000 to be made in one night, the guys hop on board and eagerly flock to an audition. The cash beats the $9 an hour promised by the few security jobs in town, and may buy some extra stuff around the house, restoring a bit of dignity and relationships with spouses.
The audition for the show may be one of the most hilarious bits of theater ever on stage. The men who decide to try out experience emotions well beyond stage fright, dealing with body image issues they'd never thought about, concerns about size of bellies and other things and a general sense that they are doing something quite unmanly.
But there's the $50,000 and the sense that their relationships are in critical care and close to flat-lining. So, it's basically a strip-or-die situation.
As the show draws near, the guys continue to worry, but they are able to talk about things at home -- feelings they'd not been able to explore with their wives.
The show is full of funny, moving moments. The relationship of the whole Lukowski family is a delight, as is the emerging closeness of Dave Bukatinski (Marty Newton) and his wife, Georgie (Julia Etzel). Big humor comes from Belinda Maloney's turn as the guys' accompanist, a former vaudevillian who will say just about everything, and Lavale-William Davis, as Noah "Horse" T. Williams, who lets it all go in his audition number, "Big Black Man."
Choreographer Kevin Hammond has created some incredible dances, including the blow-the-roof-off final number. Kelly Tighe's set is a beautiful, functional and colorful piece of art.
And then, of course, there's the final question. Do the guys go the full monty? Do you get to see it all in downtown Livermore?
Well, that is the question, isn't it?

Caramel Apple-Nut Bars (Treats For Co-Irkers)
This particular recipe came from Betty Crocker's Fall Baking (it's the one with Bakerella on the cover!) There are way too many easy and delicious recipes in this edition and you can expect more of them to be showing up here in the near future. These caramel apple bars are buttery caramel bites of delight, I assure you.
Caramel Apple-Nut Bars (adapted from Betty Crocker)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups butter, softened
1/2 cup caramel topping
3 TBSP all-purpose flour
1 medium apple, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9X13 baking dish with cooking spray.
In bowl of stand mixer mix together the flours, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the butter and mix on low speed until mixture is evenly crumbly. Press about 3 cups of this mixture in the bottom of prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the caramel topping with the 3 tablespoons of flour,
Sprinkle diced apples and pecans evenly across crust. Drizzle caramel evenly over all. Sprinkle with remaining crust mixture.
Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before cutting.

wow!! I wanna make these. I used to make a caramel apple pie, but pie crust is soooo bad for you.
I believe your buying 2 of same shirt, different color is an inherited trait. I do that too, and wasn't it Grandpa Inkrott (my grandpa, your dad) who used to say "If one is good, two is better"?

These look yummy! I also buy multiples of the same piece of clothes in different colors - if it is comfy and it fits good - it is worth it! I don't like shopping for clothes!

I think it's time I get out my fall recipe list! Everyone is doing apples and pumpkins! Good thing I love both.
Your bars look delicious, Mags! Definitely copying this one.

If buying three of the same shirt in varying colors makes you unusual then I will gladly join you in your madness. And if part of that madness is what keeps you making these delectable treats then all I can say is please don't ever change.
These were so good and because they were a) bars b) chock full of apple c) not chocolate I declare them perfect for breakfast. At least for me today. They were soft, sweet, and that caramel tone in them brought them together into the quintessential autumn treat.
Thank you so much our nutty, natty neophile.

I love this recipe! And It's perfectly reasonable for you to become obsessed with caramel apples. No wonder I relate to you.
BTW I have 8 identical tank tops in different colors if you want to borrow one.

I almost bought that book today in the grocery store when I saw Bakerella on the cover, but I got distracted. If all the recipes look like this one though, I'll pay more attention next time. These bars look really good!

more caramel and more apple! Yum! Could easily eat these with no trouble - but would be in trouble for doing so! lol

These looks so good. I love everything about them. A friend just gave me a recipe for Caramel Apple Jam that sounds so good, too. I think I just might make some of the jam. I wonder if you just spread so of the jam on these? Either way, I'd like one of your bars or two AND some jam, please! ;)

Mmmmmm very decadent. I love apple dessert. But given the amount of butter needed, hubby would pass on these (even if I didn't tell him how much butter is in it - the first bite gives it away).

text: I've been a closet punk for many years. As of late I've found myself drawn towards the 'psychobilly' or 'hellbilly' sound. I mention both but near as I can tell, they're the same thing. Regardless, with revved up rockabilly rhythm mixed in with token horror movie references, I dig it. As a long time bass player, what's not to love about the use of a coffin shaped upright bass?

This workshop, sponsored by MAA Special Interest Group on Teaching Advanced High School Mathematics (SIGMAA TAHSM), will prepare faculty at high schools, 2-year colleges, and small liberal arts institutions in developing research experiences for post-calculus students. To prepare for the workshop, participants will complete an online short course. At the workshop, we will work together on carefully selected REU-type problems that we will pose to our students in the fall. Teams formed in the summer will continue to work together during the school year, which will create a participant network of fellow teachers to answer questions and offer suggestions on where to go next as we engage students in research projects.

Private Equity, Venture Returns Are Best Since Buyout, Dot-Com Booms
The last time venture capital returns were this good, the Pets.com sock puppet had its own balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
Although neither managed to beat the public markets in 2013, private equity and venture capital posted their highest annual returns since 2006 and 1999 respectively, according to investment advisory firm Cambridge Associates LLC.
The Cambridge Associates LLC U.S. Private Equity Index , which includes data from 1,125 funds, rose 20.6% during the year, while the firm's U.S. venture capital index, comprised of 1,493 funds, rose 27.2%. Of course, neither of those metrics eclipsed the 30%-plus returns of the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq Composite.
The run-ups in 1999 and 2006 were a precursor to two of the most substantial economic crises in recent history, meaning these returns could serve as harbingers of another market correction.
High leverage multiples for deals, high valuations and the massive reserve of dry powder seen today also hark back to the buyout and dot-com booms, according to industry insiders.
"It's hard to be a buyer of conviction when the smart money is selling," said David Fann, chief executive of advisory firm TorreyCove Capital Partners.
And sell, they have. Private equity firms in the U.S. returned more than twice the money they called down from investors in 2013. According to Cambridge, fund managers drew down $56.3 billion from limited partners during 2013, a $15 billion drop from a year earlier. But managers returned some $134.6 billion to investors, the largest amount since the index's inception.
"This is a great environment to be a seller," said Mr. Fann. "Through a combination of initial public offerings, dividend recapitalizations and mergers and acquisitions, private equity firms are basically selling anything that they can. Private equity guys are praying to the money gods to keep the bull market."
Sky-high valuations for venture-backed companies such as Uber are also "worriesome," said Mr. Fann.
"It's hard to feel confident that you'll earn an attractive rate of return when valuations are in the billions," he said.

Mission limits visitations because of increase in flu
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 11:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 11:47 a.m.
Mission Health is asking that family and friends limit their visitations to patients in the hospital due to an increase in influenza activity throughout North Carolina. In particular, Mission Health is asking children under age 12 and people who do not feel well, to call patients rather than visit them. Mission Health has implemented this precaution at all Mission Heath member hospitals in Western North Carolina: McDowell Hospital in Marion, Transylvania Regional Hospital in Brevard, Blue Ridge Regional Hospital in Spruce Pine and Angel Medical Center in Franklin.
In addition to limiting exposure, the spread of the flu can be controlled with frequent hand washing. All visitors to the hospital are urged to wash their hands before and after visiting. Limiting visitations is a precaution often taken during flu season when flu activity reaches a certain level. Should the flu activity level increase, further restrictions may be implemented or recommended.

Tesla Motors said it wants to study the remnants of a stolen Model S sedan that split in half and burned after a high-speed chase and collision in Los Angeles.
The company working with Los Angeles police and fire officials investigating the incident that began early July 4 when an unidentified man stole the Tesla and led police on a high-speed chase. He later collided with several vehicles in West Hollywood. In the crash the car split into two parts when it crashed into a lightpole, triggering a battery fire, according to police reports. The driver was injured and taken into custody.
"We've asked to take a look at the vehicle as soon as that's possible," Simon Sproule, a Tesla spokesman, said in a phone interview. "There aren't so many S's involved in major crashes, and certainly not quite like this one, so we absolutely want to have a look to understand what happened."
The Palo Alto based company's Model S, priced from $71,000, has a five-star rating for crashworthiness, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's highest designation. Tesla added a titanium plate in March to further strengthen the casing that protects its lithium-ion battery after NHTSA reviewed crashes that triggered Model S fires.
The Model S theft happened at a "dealership in West Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reported July 4, citing Los Angeles police officer Christopher No. Tesla has a service center at 5840 W. Centinela.

Quote: WASHINGTON -- News of an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States represents a "huge deal" that would, had it not been foiled, have marked the first political killing by Iran on U.S. soil since 1980, according to an expert on the regime.
"This was one big f**k you to the West," said Michael Rubin, a Middle East analyst at the conservative American Enterprise Institute who has written extensively about Iran. "The scary thing is the Iranians or the Qods force" -- the U.S.-designated terrorist arm of the Iranian military U.S. officials say is implicated in the plot -- "believed they would get away with it."
But not all observers are convinced Iran was behind the alleged plot. Barbara Slavin, a senior fellow at The Atlantic Council and author of Bitter Friends, Bosom Enemies: Iran, the U.S. and the Twisted Path to Confrontation, was skeptical Iran could pull off such an elaborate plan.
"Frankly, the entire case seems quite bizarre. Iran has not been in the business of foreign assassinations for some time, and in those cases the victims were Iranian dissidents," Slavin said.
According to the Department of Justice, one of the two suspects, Iranian-born U.S. citizen Manssor Arbabsiar, confessed to hiring Mexican narcotics traffickers to assassinate Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir in Washington. Court papers said the plan was to use plastic explosives to blow up the Saudi Embassy or an unnamed restaurant frequented by the ambassador and a number of U.S. senators.
When the hired assassin -- an undercover informant for the federal Drug Enforcement Administration -- told Arbabsiar that there could be mass casualties if the killing took place in the restaurant, the Iranian allegedly said, "They want that guy done -- if the hundred go with him f**k 'em."
According to a report by the Iran Human Rights Center, between the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran and 2008, the senior leadership of Iran's ruling Islamic party has been linked to at least 162 killings of regime opponents in 19 countries.
The last assassination on U.S. soil was also in the Washington area, in the suburb of Bethesda, Md. On July 22, 1980, the former press attache for the Iranian Embassy, Ali Akbar Tabatabai, was shot dead at his home by an African-American convert to Islam, Daoud Salahuddin. The assassin later confessed to the killing and received a warm welcome upon fleeing to Tehran.
Rubin said the opaque nature of Iranian decision making makes it unlikely U.S. analysts will find the definitive "smoking gun" that links Iran's rulers to the alleged plot against the Saudi envoy.
"The big question we will face is whether this is a rogue action or whether we can hold the entire Iranian government culpable," Rubin said. He noted that while Iran has denied any involvement in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires that killed 85, one of the men wanted in the attack is now the country's defense minister.
Despite an alleged confession in this latest case with the Saudi ambassador, Slavin is among experts who are not convinced the plot was hatched at the highest levels of the Iranian regime.
"Given the power struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, this could be a case of deception perpetrated by the Saudis to discredit Iran," Slavin said, adding that based on the facts released "it appears that the DEA entrapped the defendants. I would want to see more of the evidence before giving credence to the charges."
In a later email to HuffPost after reading the indictment, Slavin added, "If Iran was really responsible, then it has certainly gone downhill in terms of tradecraft," Slavin noted. "Also, how was Iran able to transfer funds at a time when Iranians can barely send money home to their folks because of U.S. banking sanctions? How could the Iranians have believed that this would have been blamed on a Mexican drug cartel? It doesn't add up."
But the long-time enmity between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran has worsened in recent years, said Rubin, as each as jockeyed for influence in the volatile Middle East and to fill the power vacuum that will soon be left when most U.S. troops leave Iraq by year's end.
Dear David Axelrod,
This Iranian Assasination attempt story is mad corny. They're all laughing at you.
We're Colin Powell in front of the UN with Yellow Cake right now, and it's way too smack dab in the middle of the Occupy Wallstreet newscycle not to smell like Limburger cheese.
Could we be getting Swiftboated?
Could we be getting Downing Streeted?
Does it matter?
They're Jimmy Carter'ing us on the Capital Flight tip. Capital flight withers the grassroots erytime.
My Macciavellian tinted glasses love you for getting Obama in there. Where can we pull rabbits from? The scene is ripe for Iran Hostage type schenanigans. You can't kill Osama twice.
You're Truly,
Daniel Shay
PS: Love your work with MCCullum's seminal classic, The Edge.

Spurs look for 45th win
UNDATED (AP) -- The NBA's winningest team is back in action this evening as the Spurs face the Warriors at Golden State. San Antonio tops the league with a record of 44-12. On the road the Spurs are an impressive 22-10. They've won nine of their last 10 games, while the Warriors, who are 31-23 and 17-7 at home, won their last outing.
Oklahoma City is the second-winningest team in the league and tonight the Thunder are home to Minnesota. The Thunder top the Northwest Division while the Timberwolves are dead last in the same division.
New York has the second-best mark in the Eastern Conference and tonight the Knicks are at Toronto. Most of New York's success has come on the home floor as the Knicks are just 13-11 on the road. They have lost three straight.
Indiana can slip past the Knicks in the East tonight with a win over Detroit. The Pacers are a half game back of New York and with a win and loss by the Knicks, would move past them into second place behind Miami for best record in the Eastern Conference.
Rounding out the schedule, Chicago is at Charlotte, the Wizards are home to Denver, the Kings are playing the Hawks in Atlanta, Houston is in Brooklyn, Memphis has a home game with Orlando, Dallas is at New Orleans, Boston is playing in Phoenix and the Lakers are hosting the Blazers.
Light schedule on ice
UNDATED (AP) -- There are only three games being played in the NHL this evening and in Chicago the Blackhawks are out to make history. They are looking to pick up at least a point in their 17th consecutive game, a feat that would be the longest such run to start an NHL season. Chicago's record on the year is 13-0-3.
In the Sharks they are facing a familiar opponent, as tonight's game is their third meeting in 18 days. Chicago won the first two meetings and tonight's game is their final encounter of the season.
In Nashville this evening the Predators are hosting Vancouver. This is their first meeting of the lockout-shortened season. A year ago they split the four games they played.
The final game tonight features Pittsburgh at home to Florida. They will also square off on the Panthers' ice next Tuesday.
An A10 battle tonight
UNDATED (AP) -- The lone top-25 game this evening features two of the top teams from the Atlantic Ten conference. The 15th-ranked Butler Bulldogs, who are 22-5, are playing host to Saint Louis University. The Billikens are 20-5. In the A10, Saint Louis is on top, by percentage points over the Bulldogs. The Billikens are 9-2 while Butler is 9-3.
Rivera throws BP
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Yankees closer Mariano Rivera has thrown batting practice for the first time since knee surgery last year. The 43-year old threw 25 pitches and said he was happy with the results. He expects to be ready when the Yankees open the regular season April 1 against Boston.
Rivera was limited to nine games last year, his season ending when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while tracking down a fly ball during batting practice in Kansas City on May 3.
First round to be completed
MARANA, Ariz. (AP) -- Because of that freak Arizona snowstorm on Wednesday, the first round of the PGA's Match Play Championship will be completed today. In short, that's three days for one round of golf. The round wasn't completed yesterday because of darkness.
The big news out of the tournament, except for the weather, is the fact that Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy (MAK'-ihl-roy) were both eliminated yesterday.
Lewis remains on top
CHONBURI, Thailand (AP) -- Stacey Lewis remains in first place of the LPGA event in Thailand. She shot a 3-under 69 today to maintain her three-stroke lead after 36 holes.
Lewis had five birdies and two bogeys for a 12-under 132 total. The 2012 LPGA Player of the Year leads a teenager from the host nation.
Bail is set
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) -- Oscar Pistorius (pihs-TOHR'-ee-uhs) has been granted bail, paving the way for him to be freed from custody pending his trial in the Valentine's Day shooting death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The judge set the bail at 1 million rand, or $113,000, with $11,300 in cash and proof that the rest is available.
He must also hand over his passports and turn in any guns that he owns.
The double-amputee Olympian's next court appearance was set for June 4. The magistrate also ruled that he could not return to his home, where the killing of Steenkamp took place.

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.

Via Twitter, we learn that the Hawaiian actor Jason Momoa has been cast in the part of Khal Drogo. He announced that he had just learned he had landed the role at the Armageddon Pop Culture Expo in Australia. He indicates that at the audition, he performed a haka war-dance as part of his audition, he said, and then apparently showed off his backside to the audience in preparation for further nudity in the pilot, which would mark both his first nude scene and his first sex scene as an actor. He also apparently mentioned disliking horses, and not really looking forward to the riding scene the pilot requires (much less the rest of the riding scenes that will be required if the show goes forward).
It seems possible that the spread of the news has led to his official website running into occasional capacity issues. Some photos from a panel Momoa took part in at this summer's past Dragon*Con can be found at ]his official site forum.
As George R.R. Martin stated earlier, Drogo was the last significant role to be cast in HBO's pilot for Game of Thrones.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

The liver is in the right upper abdomen. The liver serves many functions, including the detoxification of substances delivered by the bloodstream and the production of many proteins.
A liver transplant may be recommended for:
Liver failure causes many problems, including malnutrition, problems with blood clotting, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, and jaundice. Frequently, patients who undergo liver transplantation are quite ill, and require hospitalization in an intensive care unit prior to surgery. A large, upper abdominal transverse incision is used for liver transplant.
Liver transplants are performed in many centers across the country. The healthy liver is obtained from a donor who has not suffered liver injury. The healthy liver is transported in a cooled saline solution that preserves the organ for up to 8 hours. The diseased liver is removed through an incision in the upper abdomen. The new liver is put in place and attached to the patient's blood vessels and bile ducts. The operation can take up to 12 hours and may require blood transfusions.
Patients require hospital care for 1 - 4 weeks after liver transplant, depending on the degree of illness. After liver transplantation, patients must take immunosuppressive medications for the rest of their lives to prevent immune rejection of the transplanted organ.

Birch syrup explored as add-on to maple industry in NH

The Liberty High baseball team has overcome inconsistency at the plate in recent weeks to help move into a three-way tie for first place in the Bay Valley Athletic League.
But nothing's been tougher to overcome for the Lions than the death of a friend -- a coach who connected with the players.
The unexpected death of Liberty assistant James Anthony Brignolio, 42, in mid-February shocked and saddened the East County baseball community.
Brignolio was known by the players in all three levels of the Liberty program. But he had a special connection with the seniors, beginning when they were freshmen during an earlier stint with the program. He had left Liberty to coach the freshman team at Freedom before he returned to the Lions.
"It's been a slow process. Obviously, he's been missed," said first-year Liberty coach Joe Vreonis, who was a teammate of Brignolio at Liberty. "His wife threw out the first pitch at one of our games. We're trying to move on the best we can and keep winning games."
Including Tuesday's win over Deer Valley, Liberty had won six of its past eight games to improve to 10-11 overall and 5-2 in the BVAL.
The Lions have had good pitching for most of the season with seniors Mitchell Zamora, Cody Luther and Matt Davis leading the way. Those three players, and juniors RJ Prince, Dominic Smith and CJ Sneath, among others, have also helped the offense, as the Lions have averaged 6.6 runs in their last eight games.
All of it has helped Liberty join the BVAL title race, as it is tied with Deer Valley and Heritage for first with three games left. The Lions play at Pittsburg on Thursday and close the regular season against Heritage and Freedom next week.
Obviously, nothing would feel better than winning a league title for a coach they cared about.
"I think the team has dedicated their season to Coach Brignolio," Vreonis said. "They're trying to move on as best they can, keeping him in their hearts and minds as we try to push forward. He loved Liberty baseball."
HOOPER ADDED TO ALL-STAR ROSTER: De La Salle ace Justin Hooper is one of 36 players nationwide to be selected for the 2014 Under Armour All-America baseball game.
The junior left-hander has a 1.50 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 28 innings this season for the Spartans, who are heavily in the mix for the East Bay Athletic League title.
The all-star game will be Aug. 16 at Chicago's Wrigley Field and will be televised by the MLB Network the following day. The game is part of a four-day event that also includes a formal workout for major league scouts.
THE WILD WACC: When the West County Athletic League softball playoffs get under way next week, it's anyone's guess as to which team takes home the title.
Few leagues in the area can match the parity in the WACC.
Two of the hottest squads entering the week were Bishop O'Dowd and Castro Valley, but both had their winning streaks snapped Tuesday.
Castro Valley, the defending WACC champion, couldn't hold an early lead and lost its first league game of the season to Berkeley 2-1. The Trojans are still in line to earn the regular season Foothill Division title, though.
O'Dowd, which hadn't lost since March 28, gave up four runs in the bottom of the sixth and fell to Encinal 8-4.
But O'Dowd had been playing its best softball of the season before that loss. During a nine-game unbeaten streak, the Dragons avenged earlier losses to Arroyo and Encinal, two more teams that could do some damage in the playoffs. Alameda is also a contender.
O'Dowd and Castro Valley play each other Friday to wrap up the regular season.
Staff writer Stephanie Hammon contributed to this report.

Defense Cuts: No Cliff For Nation's Security
Published: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 12:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 12:08 a.m.
Excerpted from an editorial by The Washington Post:
Discussion of the "fiscal cliff" since the presidential election has focused so far on the type and amount of tax increases that congressional Republicans might accept and the changes in entitlement programs that President Obama and Democrats could agree to in exchange. Sooner or later, however, the negotiations must turn to the crucial subject of defense spending.
The automatic spending cuts due to kick in at the beginning of next year include $56.5 billion from the Pentagon, more than 10 percent of its base budget. If left unchanged, the sequester would cut defense by $454 billion over a decade.
Democrats who talk of "going over the cliff" as a way to gain leverage over Republicans on taxes may not have fully considered what this could mean for the military. ...
To avoid further damage, new cuts must skirt areas that affect core U.S. forces, such as troops, equipment, training and the modernization of weapons systems. While there is potential for substantial reductions outside these areas, achieving them would require a sea change in Congress, which has shielded the fat of the Pentagon budget.
A starting point would be the legions of analysts and other staff posted to military headquarters and to the Pentagon itself; though 100,000 layoffs are not called for, thousands of duplicative jobs could be trimmed. Next would come changes in costly and wasteful health-care programs, which consume nearly 30 percent of the budget. ...
The pressure of the budget crisis should provide an impetus for a bipartisan effort to address such wasteful spending. At stake is something more than tax dollars: the ability of the United States to maintain its place in the world.

I'll admit to sharing some of Byron's disappointment in this year's Tour de France.
Organizers have disinvited last year's winner, Alberto Contador, and his entire Astana team, barring U.S. podium finisher Levi Leipheimer and former T-Mobile rider Andreas Klöden, as well as perennial Tour scrapper Chris Horner (who I hope winds up a race commentator based on his consistently excellent interviews). Also disinvited? QuickStep's Tom Boonen, the defending green (sprinter's) jersey champion, who tested positive for cocaine in an out-of-competition test in late May. Slipstream-Chipotle's David Zabriskie (back injury) and Tom Danielson (fitness) won't get a chance to show off the team's new sponsor and name, Garmin-Chipotle.
And, since it's apparently impossible to announce a cycling doping verdict during the 50 weeks of the year that don't precede the Tour, we've got a final (maybe) Floyd Landis verdict arising from the '06 Tour and a Michael Rasmussen decision arising from the '07 Tour. This doesn't smell like the recipe for a great Tour.

Founded by Spyder, on August 8, 2012, the eXorsus Gaming Group is intended to be a powerful group of powerful players. I, Spyder, created this alliance in hopes of creating a dominant, respectable alliance within the BYM community.
The eXorsus name comes from a Counter-Strike 1.6/Source website that a few friends and I created in late 2006. The eXorsus Gaming Group still exists on Steam. eXorsus quickly rose to one of the best teams on CAL and CPL Counter-Strike competitions until CAL and CPL were disbanded.
Translated, Exorsus means "The beginning of the end" in Latin. I, Spyder, plan on carrying out the name of this alliance and taking over all of our enemies.
While eXorsus has no official chatroom, a majority of our members frequent chatroom 3. You're more than likely to find one of us there. We also have a chatzy for the alliance, courtesy of Garrettlazer7, here.

Brother of Beverly man sentenced
Attempted to hide sexual abuse evidence involving up to 20 area children
March 2, 2013
Two years after his brother was sent to prison for more than four decades for sexually abusing at least half a dozen children, a Waterford man received a much lighter sentence for hiding evidence in......
Child predators and drug addicts are predominant stories according to the Times.
Gotta get those page views, right?

Sounds to me like he's a good candidate for castration.

The man and his mother did not help the brother at all... and for sure they enabled, empowered, and cover up sex crimes against innocent kids. Hopefully people will start to realize that child predators need to be kept far away from kids forever. This is so sad that so many kids have been harmed. We hope they are getting help and a chance to heal.

so a relaitive reported marijuana and they also found illegal photos and rings suspected being planted by a relative? Sounds like we may not be getting the truth. But hey, "anytime someone gets get convicted in marietta it's good and all the good people get to go home and read the paper about how good they are" in comparison to whatever fanstasy the police, courts, and media, make up for them to do just that.

If a relative of mine was such a waste of space I'd help slap the cuffs on and I find it odd that he hung onto the photos instead of handing them over like any decent person would have done or at the very least destroyed them. And speaking of decent people, whoever disagreed with Anjahlena, you don't qualify. Maybe the Times should forward your name to the cops since you obviously approve of child *********** and those who indulge in it.

BELPRE - A wine and cheese tasting benefit for the Belpre Historical Society took place Saturday at the Unicorn Wine Guild.
Nancy Sams, president of the society, said the society is raising funds for a new building to be built next to its museum on Ridge Street.
"We need an additional building at the museum," she said. "The Unicorn wanted to help us by having this benefit."
Sams said the society needs to raise $200,000 and has an intermediate goal of raising $175,000 by the end of January. She said the new building will be slightly larger than the building the society has been using since 2001.
"The new building will be a 50-foot by 50-foot concrete block building and a porch that can be enclosed late," she said. "Before we had our current building we stored things in people's houses and now we are back to that since we have completely filled the building with our collections and and displays.
"When we get this, it will be a benefit to the community."
Barbara Whitaker, co-owner with her husband Joel, said they hope to make the Unicorn a place in Belpre for events such as the fundraiser for the historical society.
"Part of the purpose of building this place was so that events could be held here in Belpre," Whitaker said.
Sams said the idea for the tasting was Whitaker's and the society decided it would be a good thing to try.
"We've never had anything like this before," she said.
Whitaker said having the historical society event at the shop tied in with her interest in history.
"We have always been mindful of history, always talked about it in my family," she said. "When we heard of the historical society it seemed like the right thing to do. They are preserving the history and giving back to the community and it is all done by volunteers."
Whitaker said the society and Unicorn Wine Guild have something in common.
"The truth be told, they attract some tourists to the area as we do," she said. "We've had many different events in here, a few baby showers, wedding showers and a couple of political fundraisers."
Sams said the society has about half of the amount it needs for the building. The museum has become a tourist draw in Belpre, she said.
"We've been consistently having 500 visitors a year for the past five years," she said. "We have many tour groups and school groups."
Sams said the society has submitted applications for five grants and so far it has received confirmation on one.

Capital Journal Daybreak: Health Law's Coverage Gaps | Why the Mideast Peace Process Matters
Sign up for the newsletter: http://on.wsj.com/CapitalJournalSignup
COVERAGE GAPS UNDER THE HEALTH LAW: Months after the sign-up deadline, thousands of Americans who purchased health insurance through the Affordable Care Act still don't have coverage due to problems in enrollment systems. In states including California, Nevada and Massachusetts, which are running their own online insurance exchanges, some consumers picked a private health plan and paid their premiums–only to learn recently that they aren't insured. Others received a policy but experienced "life events" such as getting married that required their coverage to be updated, but have been waiting months for the change to take effect.
The Obama administration said in April that about eight million people had picked health plans through the health law. But there are no hard numbers on how many consumers have experienced coverage issues. Out of the eight million enrollees, the number appears to be a tiny fraction. Insurance-industry executives say they believe the percentage of problems is somewhat higher than with insurance plans that weren't purchased through the health exchanges, but don't have any figures. Stephanie Armour reports.

There is nothing on earth that is simultaneously as fruitless and as essential as keeping the Israeli-Palestinian "peace process" going. Some in Washington suggest that the effort is not only a waste of time but also draws attention and energy away from more worthwhile efforts. Except that history shows time and again that the one thing worse than a sputtering Israeli-Palestinian peace process is no peace process at all. Read Jerry Seib's full post in Washington Wire.
UKRAINE ADVANCES: As Ukraine plans for a siege of pro-Russia separatists' remaining bastions, Russian President Vladimir Putin faces a critical decision: Should he answer rebels' pleas for military help? That move could determine what he gains or loses following the prolonged conflict that has roiled global powers. He has two options: coming to separatists' aid and bolstering his nationalist credentials at home, or consolidating his gains so far and averting the risk of further international isolation. James Marson and Julian E. Barnes report.
OUTSTANDING VA APPEALS RISE: The next secretary of Veterans Affairs will have to face not only the agency's well-known mismanagement, but also the issue of how to process disability claims more quickly. Under Eric Shinseki, the VA slashed the backlog for things such as compensation claims for injuries sustained while in the service. But that progress masked a 60% jump in outstanding appeals of denied claims and a slowdown in processing claims for things like adding dependents to veterans' files. Ben Kesling reports.
WHITE HOUSE SEEKS TO IMPROVE TEACHER QUALITY: The Obama administration has announced an initiative to try to improve teacher quality at schools with high poverty rates and large minority populations. The plan marks another effort to advance the White House's agenda while broader programs remain stalled in Congress. Under the initiative, states will be required to analyze data and submit plans to ensure students are being taught by "effective educators." The Department of Education will back the effort with $4.2 million. Jeffrey Sparshott reports.

A lot has changed in the past 125 years, or has it? The political problems of the late 1800s, when income inequality and immigration reform split the nation along political lines, may ring familiar to today. However, as Jerry Seib explains, the lessons from America's past may give a glimmer of hope to a currently divided nation.
–NATO SECRETARY GENERAL AT WHITE HOUSE: President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will meet at 11 a.m. ET with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen at the White House. The discussion comes in advance of the NATO summit in Wales in September and is expected to include the crisis in Ukraine, improving allied defenses and NATO's mission in Afghanistan. Later, President Obama will fly to Denver for a Wednesday speech on the economy and a fundraiser for Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, who is in a tight race with GOP Rep. Cory Gardner.
–FLASH HEARING: High-speed trading comes in for further scrutiny on Tuesday when the Senate Banking Committee holds a 10 a.m. hearing with top executives from the biggest exchanges and asset managers, including Intercontinental Exchange Inc., Citadel LLC and NASDAQ OMX Group.
–BENGHAZI SUSPECT: Abu Ahmed Khatallah is back in federal court Tuesday for a status hearing before the judge assigned to the case against the primary suspect in the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
The Economist weighs in on the growing U.S. debate over whether to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, arguing that such government-underwritten export financing is an inefficient use of resources: "The world would be better off without subsidized export credits." But it also acknowledges American companies will fight hard to keep the Ex-Im Bank alive—and probably will succeed.
Though Sen. Ted Cruz is nominally vice chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, he has refused to take part in the committee's work in protest over its decision to back some establishment senators in primaries against conservative challengers, writes Michael Catalini of National Journal. "If it were up to Washington insiders, Charlie Crist would be in the U.S. Senate instead of Marco Rubio," Cruz explains..
The Dallas Morning News editorial page applauds Sen. Rand Paul's effort to restore the right to vote to convicted felons: "When right meets left over the issue of access to the voting booth, it gets our attention."
Here's another gender gap: A new survey finds that 61% of women business owners have a positive outlook on the economy, compared to 50% among male business owners, writes Karsten Strauss of Forbes.
In the WSJ's Think Tank, Josh Bevins writes that fears wage growth may spur inflation and cause the Fed to hit the brakes on monetary stimulus are misplaced; in fact, he argues, slow wage growth represents a failure in the current economy.

Two separate reports of a stabbing and shots fired were recorded Saturday night on the 600 block of A Street.
The Ardmore Police Department responded to an assault at 10:52 p.m. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found a victim that had suffered minor injuries in a stabbing. The altercation was an extension of an argument that had taken place. The victim did not want to name suspects and also declined to press charges and transportation to the hospital.
At 11:41 p.m., six shots were fired into the residence. No one was home at the time the shooting took place. There are no suspects at this time and an investigation is ongoing.

By guest blogger Kelsey Bradshaw
Kelsey is a sophomore at the University of Oregon majoring in Journalism and Facebook (wait, that's not a real major?!). Originally a track star from Medford, Oregon, she now enjoys going for runs with her friends and working out at Eugene Crossfit. She also enjoys visiting National Parks, playing in the snow, and hanging out at the beach…double points if they're all at the same time.
For my last birthday, I got what I wanted more than anything else in the whole entire world: a shiny white iPhone 4s.
So, as with anything new and exciting, I wanted to make it even better.
I needed a case to protect it, obviously, and maybe one that just looked cute, and as long as I was on that website I could just order another pair of headphones. Before I knew it, I had spent a good portion of time (and money, oops!) ordering and/or salivating over all these things my new iPhone needed.
Here are the must-have accessories to make your iPhone the best iPhone ever:
Duracell Portable USB Charger: I feel like my phone runs out of battery whenever I need it the most. But my social life and battery power can be saved, with this portable charger that hooks up via USB cord and provides instant power to your phone.
Incase Capsule Headphones: If you want better headphones than the standard Apple ones (but don't want to pay an arm and a leg for Dre Beats), try Incase. They are a surprisingly good quality (and deal!) for $50 headphones.
Polka Dot Portable Speakers: Forget ugly metal speakers that look like your little brother's science project. These have polka dots! And are monogrammable!! I'll take two, please.
Spiderpodium iPhone stand: I hate all things with 8 legs with a dedicated passion. Except for this. It attaches to your phone and gives it eight bendable legs so you can stick it anywhere: the seat in front of you in the car to watch movies on long road trips, on your desk so you can have the perfect FaceTime angle, or on the handlebars of your bike so you can make a video of your sweet jumps and other tricks.
Bottle Opener Case: So you're at a party. Hottie to your left passes you a refreshing beverage, you whip out your phone and BAM! Open drink AND an awesome first impression. How do you do it without breaking your phone or telekinesis? This case.
Wallet Case: Never leave your wallet or phone at home again – they're attached! Everything you need in one phone case. And if your budget is on the higher end, this iPhone wallet case is to die for. And technically you're saving money by buying a phone case and a wallet, right?
Wood Print Case: And, finally, something that can appeal to the hipster in all of us. Wood things are like my secret obsession: floors, alarm clocks, etc. And with a turquoise Apple logo to top it off, this case is number one on my wishlist.
Other awesome phone cases can be found at these sites:
- society6.com (I dare you to buy just one),
- speckproducts.com (they have adorable candy-colored cases that do an excellent job of protecting your poor defenseless iPhone)
- Etsy (always has unique, but cute, cases)

This fun and educational activity is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador, Valerie Deneen. Enjoy Read Across America Day with this fun tribute to Dr. Seuss!
Inspired by the book Horton Hears a Who by Dr. Seuss, I set up a fun "Speck" Discovery Lab for my 3-year-old to explore! She had so much fun with this, and it kept her happily occupied for a long time. Added bonus — very little set up or clean up is involved!!
Want to make one of your own? ((Yes, yes, do it!!))
You will need:
craft pom-poms – "clover flowers"
glitter glue – "speck"
colored paper or dishes for sorting
magnifying glass
Before you begin: Add a drop of glitter glue to a few of the pom-poms, and allow to dry.
Place all of the pom-poms into a large plastic bowl, set out the colored paper or dishes for sorting and invite your child over to sort through the clover flowers and find any "specks"!
Using tweezers to sort through the "clover flowers" is a great way sneak in some fine-motor practice.
Be sure to take a close look at each "clover flower", so you don't miss any potential "specks"!
Found one!!!!
Have fun!!
Have you made any fun Dr. Seuss crafts lately?? We would LOVE to hear about it! Leave a comment and share your ideas with us!

Congratulations Chelsea & Rafa
Yet another trophy under his belt.
As the Yahoo blog says:

Abramovich would be nuts to let Rafa go.. he's proven he can win things in such a short time.. he should be made full time manager of CFC.
That is a wonderful quote by the yahoo blog! Fair play to Rafa, I hope they draw 0-0 this weekend and Arsenal win 2-1 so that the premier leagues first ever play off tie comes in to effect. Hopefully Benitez will have left and Maureen comes in and loses it. Whether the Chelsea fans hate him or not, he has earned there respect and he clearly deserves it. Where next for the master tactician?

Good point Hobbs. Please not Everton
Congratulations to Rafa - yes, but to Chelsea? I don't think so.

NEW ORLEANS -- Ed Donatell sure didn't sound Tuesday like an assistant coach ready to leave his post as 49ers' secondary coach to become the Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator, a move that one Philadelphia broadcaster projected last week.
Donatell is in his second season on coach Jim Harbaugh's staff. He confirmed that he would like, at some point, return to a defensive coordinator role, having previously served in that capacity for the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons.
"I definitely aspire to do that, but I also know a good thing," Donatell said Tuesday during the 49ers' Media Day session for Super Bowl XLVII. "It's set up so we can have some nice years here."
Donatell is under contract with the 49ers for next season, so they could block any potential interest other teams might have in him. Donatell said he's had no official contact with the Eagles, who've hired Chip Kelly as their coach.
"Jim Harbaugh has created such a great working environment that nobody is in any hurry to get out of here," Donatell said. "There's no question this stuff will be putting out guys (as head coaches) in the next couple years, guys like Greg Roman, Vic Fangio, Brad Seely, Jim Tomsula, and on and on. We've got great assistants."
The Eagles reportedly interviewed former 49ers defensive coordinator Billy Davis for that same role last Sunday. Philadelphia broadcaster Howard Eskin tweeted last week that Donatell was expected to fill that Eagles job.

With an offense headed up by senior point guard Coy Coker, Summit boys' basketball landed its first win of the season over Glenwood Springs in a 76-51 victory.
Coker didn't lead the team in points scored (he tallied 20), but he surprised even himself in outside shooting, taking advantage of some open moments to sink six three-pointers.
Meanwhile, senior guard Markeith McDonald put up 25 points with 12 rebounds, at one point rallying from a layup at one end of the court into a solid defensive rebound at the other and finishing the series of plays with a layup that drew a foul. He missed the freethrows, but it didn't stop the rest of McDonald's game, as he finished with a double-double.
"We shot pretty good. We shot over 50 percent both from two's and three's," head coach Phil Tronsrue said. The boys had doubled Glenwood's score by halftime.
Sophomores Noah Glasco and Thomas DeBonnville lent a strong hand to the team with 11 and 10 points, respectively. The Tigers as a whole collected 12 offensive rebounds, 23 defensive rebounds and 11 steals.
Sitting at 1-4 on the season but now with an even, 1-1 split in the league, the team gets ready to take on non-league Bishop Machebeuf today at home.

The Iranians have set pre-conditions to talks with an Obama Administration that include US withdrawal of forces in the region and non-recognition of stalwart ally, Israel. Looks like non-starters to me. But then Obama and key advisers are desperately seeking engagement with the black turbaned Mullahs, instead of those 20 something Iranians who desperately want to get rid of them. Looks like a tough response to a weak one from an inexperienced former Illinois state Senator and junior US Senator with his near rock star groupies who would sell out America to its enemies for 'hope' and 'change'. This is isolationist capitulation and not simply appeasement. A frightening prospect.

It's the end of an era in Richmond County as Superintendent Dr. Charles Larke makes a deal to retire.
After months of controversy and contract negotiations, Dr. Larke will step down from his superintendent role at the end of October.
EducationTeam 12's Lynnsey Gardner spoke with two board members on where the board will go from here.
"It is nice to have this issue resolved," board member Helen Minchew told us.
"The school board felt it was best to get the superintendent situation resolved and behind us," said board member A.K. Hasan.
Just a day after Dr. Larke signed his amended contract, board members are planning for his replacement.
"We want to move forward," Minchew said. "We want new ideas."
"We can bring in someone in accord with our new vision and new direction, and we can go forward with improving our school system," said Hasan.
This is the first superintendent search in over ten years in Richmond County, and board members say they are looking forward to it.
"We as a board understand we need to rebuild, but we need to do it together," said Hasan. "It's not that we're going to force our way on a new superintendent, and he or she will not force their way on us. We have to take a team approach and do what is interest of our children."
As Dr. Larke's career begins winding down, he leaves behind a school system riddled with controversy--loan advances and low performing schools. But these board members think Richmond County still has appeal.
"This is where they can prove their worth. We have a lot of different problems on a lot of different levels," Hasan said.
"I think it will appeal to someone who wants a challenge," said Minchew.
And a challenge is something this board is well trained for after years of walking the line of politics and progress.
Deputy superintendent James Thompson will act as the interim superintendent when Dr. Larke steps down in October.
Hasan says potential candidates will not be interviewed until after the November elections, and the new superintendent will be named sometime after the first of the year.
