DENVER -- The Warriors have prided themselves on being gritty. They've often praised themselves for staying close instead of caving like the Warriors of the past.
But Friday's performance in Denver looked more like the old Golden State than the scrappy squad that won seven of the first 12. The Warriors lost 102-91 to the Nuggets. But it looked worse than the score might indicate.
Instead of getting revenge on the team that handed them a heartbreaking double-overtime loss at Oracle Arena on Nov. 10, the Warriors got spanked.
"Needless to say, especially after our last game against them, they're not our favorite team," forward David Lee said of the Nuggets after he finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
The Warriors (7-6), who host Minnesota on Saturday, were outscored by 17 in the second half. They looked downright silly much of the fourth quarter, thanks to unforced errors and defensive lapses that led to highlights by Denver swingman Andre Iguodala and center JaVale McGee.
The Warriors shot 36.8 percent in the second half and went down without much resistance, which had been unusual for this Golden State squad.
"The third quarter," coach Mark Jackson said, "we didn't match their intensity, we didn't take care of the basketball, we were not committed to getting back in transition. I'm disappointed with the way we came out of the locker room in the third quarter. And it snowballed from there."
Golden State all but played without point guard Stephen Curry, who logged just 26 minutes because of fouls and ineffective play. After leading the Warriors to consecutive noteworthy victories (at Dallas and over visiting Brooklyn) earlier this week, Curry finished with six points and four turnovers.
"I was kind of back-and-forth off the bench in the first half," Curry said. "But that's no excuse. I've got to be more aggressive, whether I'm shooting or making plays."
His teammates picked up the slack in the first half. But in the second half, not so much.
The Warriors led 53-47 at halftime despite point Curry not even taking shot and playing just 13 minutes because of foul trouble.
How did Golden State do it? Guard Klay Thompson got hot, knocking down four 3-pointers en route to 16 first-half points. Lee was giving the Warriors an inside presence, knocking down half of his 12 shots.
Whatever momentum the Warriors had entering the locker room with a lead was gone quickly after they emerged.
"I think, ultimately, we were fortunate to be up at halftime," Jackson said. "To me it was fool's gold. They outplayed us, but we had the lead. And we didn't respond in the third quarter. Simple as that."
The Nuggets took control of the game with a 15-0 run to start the third quarter. Golden State seemed content with jump shots early in the second half. Five of the Warriors' first six shots of the third quarter were jumpers, including three straight 3-point attempts.
By the time Nuggets swingman Andre Iguodala hit a corner 3-pointer -- after having time to set his feet and recite a sonnet -- the Warriors were down 57-53 with 9:13 left in the third.
Jackson punched the air in frustration, calling a timeout. Golden State's next four possessions resulted in three missed shots and a turnover. Another Iguodala 3-pointer put the Warriors down 62-53.
With the Warriors ice cold from outside, they turned to Carl Landry, who helped settle things. He scored three straight baskets inside to keep Denver from running away with the game, the latter cutting Denver's lead to 68-63 with 4:44 left.
Landry finished with 19 points off the bench. The Warriors trailed 78-70 entering third quarter.
Golden State still trailed by eight two minutes into the fourth quarter. But Denver turned it into a rout with a 9-0 run. The spurt was highlighted by a thunderous dunk by McGee, and the foul, then a driving tomahawk by Iguodala, who finished with a game-high 29 points.
At the six-minute mark, the embarrassment reached its peak. Iguodala was inbounding the ball under Denver's basket. With a move that encapsulated the second half, he threw the ball off the back of an unaware Lee and stepped in for an uncontested two-hand dunk.
"They earned the right to throw lobs and celebrate," Jackson said. "Who am I to criticize? I've been part of the dance team (in my playing days). But it's got to bother you to the point where you make adjustments, and we did not."

STOCKTON — The California Highway Patrol's high-risk tactical Warrant Service Team arrested Try Smuth, 33, on suspicion of unlawful possession of a firearm, resisting arrest and other crimes shortly after 9 p.m. Wednesday in the 2400 block of Little Aston Way, authorities said.
Smuth fled on foot during a traffic stop in November and managed to escape, but officers found a stolen handgun under the seat of his car, authorities said. CHP officers went Wednesday to a home where Smuth was living to serve a felony arrest warrant, the CHP said. Officers used forced entry to apprehend Smuth after he locked himself in his bedroom. He was then taken into custody without further incident, authorities said.
Smuth has an extensive criminal history and is associated with Stockton's Asian Boyz street gang, authorities said. Because of Smuth's background, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents placed a detainer on him for consideration for deportation to Cambodia under ICE's Secure Communities program.

It all started this afternoon just off Midland Valley Drive in Aiken County.
That's where the Midland Valley golf course backs up to a number of homes.
Scary moments there for a number of local folks and firefighters as well.
News 12 had a crew at the site Thursday.
The extent of the damage done continues to sink in.
A wooded area divides the Midland Valley golf course at the bottom of a hill from a highly residential area at the top of the hill.
Luckily, this is where the fire was contained.
Thursday afternoon, fire was climbing this hill dangerously quickly, covering an acre in minutes.
Three fire engines responded, as did a brush truck. Langley, Bath, and the Aiken Fire Departments were put on standby.
We're told it all started about 2 o'clock down behind the clubhouse, where officials suspect a cigarette or even car exhaust could be to blame.
Who knew conditions were such that a little cigarette could cause all this damage.
Residents at the top of the hill are thankful no one was hurt.
"The wind started and it was just blazing everywhere. It was blazing as high as the houses. It jumped into my daughter's yard," says Daphne Robertson, who called 911.
"I'm thankful for it's out, and everything's fine. My possessions, our dog, and everything's fine and everybody's OK," says homeowner Hugh Rhodes.
Everyone is very thankful the fire was stopped before it could spread to the residential area.
The South Carolina Forestry Commission issued a Red Flag Alert Thursday because of the conditions out there.
The mix of very dry air with high winds makes for very dangerous conditions.

The community of Eldon now has a new post secondary education training to offer area residents. The Eldon School District has partnered with State Fair Community College to offer a new degree program. State Fair will now utilize the Eldon Career Center for an additional lake area campus.
It all began about eight years ago according to Eldon Superintendent Matt Davis. The school district began working with Johnson Controls and educating students and workers through welding classes. Eight years later, the partnership has expanded to include State Fair. Beginning this school year, an Industrial Technology Degree can be completed at the new State Fair Eldon campus.
"We think this is just a great thing for community and our students," Davis said. "A trained educated workforce helps with economic development."
A day after the official ribbon cutting at the new State Fair facility in the Eldon Career Center, Davis said that new degree programs are also in the works. A practical nursing program will be offered in January 2014 while a registered nursing program will be offered in January 2015.
Davis added that most of the classes will be offered at night and at a minimal cost. This opportunity allows individuals who never earned a post secondary degree, to get an affordable education close to home. Students who have recently graduated can also take advantage of the opportunity and not have to travel far if their degree is offered at the Eldon campus.
The lake area is home to another State Fair campus in Osage Beach.
Classes at the Eldon campus are set to begin on August 19.
Calls to State Fair Community College for comment were not returned.

SAN FRANCISCO -- A long-absent fan favorite made a triumphant return to AT&T Park on Saturday night -- a confident and dominant right-hander named Tim Lincecum.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner pitched like his old self in a 2-0 Giants victory over the San Diego Padres, firing 62/3 shutout innings and striking out eight while allowing just four hits and two walks.
The Giants have been waiting for this Lincecum to return to the fold for a while now, at least as a starter. While he sparkled out of the bullpen during the team's 2012 World Series title run, Lincecum hadn't had a start this long since Aug. 10.
"I thought he had a great tempo from the start of the game and did a good job of just pounding the zone," said catcher Buster Posey, who caught Lincecum for the first time this season. "He executed throwing the fastball and didn't totally rely on his breaking pitches."
Even though the Giants had won every one of Lincecum's three prior starts, it wasn't much because of his pitching. He'd allowed 10 earned runs, including three home runs, and 12 walks in 16 innings for a 5.63 ERA. In short, he'd looked very much like he did much of last season when he was 10-15 with 5.18 ERA.
But Saturday night's Lincecum looked like a vintage version. He retired the first six hitters he faced, three of them via strikeout.
"He used all of his pitches, and he was throwing quality strikes, too," manager Bruce Bochy said. "I thought he used the fastball very well. He just seemed very determined and had a good focus."
In his only real jam -- a two-out, bases-loaded situation in the third inning -- Lincecum coaxed a weak grounder to second base out of the Padres' best hitter, Chase Headley, and did it after falling behind 3-1 in the count.
It was at that point that Lincecum went into a more combative mindset.
"I said to myself, 'I'm not going to walk this guy, I've got to challenge this guy and be aggressive,' " Lincecum said. "That's what I was thinking all day. I'm not going to try to nitpick around these guys like I have in the past. Even if it's down the middle, I've got throw every pitch with a meaning, and that was the difference today."
Posey said he called for a fastball and that Lincecum put it right where he wanted it to jam Headley, a switch-hitting slugger batting left-handed.
The Giants needed a huge game from their former ace because they managed just three hits themselves against Padres pitching, but one of them was a two-run, fourth-inning homer by Pablo Sandoval that proved to be all the support Lincecum (2-0) and his relief cast would need.
Sandoval had a one-out, eight-pitch battle with San Diego starter Andrew Cashner (0-1) after Angel Pagan had led off the fourth with a walk. After working the count to 1-1, Sandoval fouled off five consecutive pitches before finally turning on an inside 95-mph fastball and hammering it onto the right-field pavilion for his third home run of the season.
"(Cashner) threw a great pitch, inside and high, and I got lucky," said Sandoval. "I got the barrel on it and up into the air."
Posey was so impressed with Sandoval's at-bat that he went and looked at the tape of it.
"I'd hate to have to call pitches to him," Posey said. "It looked like he was beat, he barely fouled four or five pitches and then turned on the sixth on a pitch that was on the black, inside corner."
But Lincecum was the star of the show. He threw four 1-2-3 innings in his first five. In the seventh, Bochy pulled Lincecum after 95 pitches with two out and two on. Left-hander Jose Mijares retired pinch hitter Mark Kotsay on a fly to right to end the inning.
Santiago Casilla bailed out the Giants for a second straight day by getting an eighth-inning double play, and Sergio Romo pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save.

A Survey of Grafton County, New Hampshire's Economy
Researchers at the Center for Rural Partnerships at Plymouth State University conducted a review of
economic trends in Grafton County, New Hampshire, emphasizing the County's four labor market
areas (Haverhill, Lebanon, Littleton and Plymouth) and their economic prospects for the future. The study
was conducted on behalf of Grafton County Economic Development Corporation (GCEDC) to aid that
organization's strategic planning process. The results of the study were presented in a public presentation
in September 2010, with an update added in January 2012. This report focuses on labor market data, and
includes a chapter, written by Daniel Lee, devoted to changes in the County's labor market over the past
decade. The original 2010 presentation and the 2012 update are provided as appendices.

The action started early, with the Blue Team taking a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning. After two quick outs, Brandon Guilford drew a walk and moved up on a single by Vaughan. Hubert hit an RBI single to center for the first run of the game when Guilford coming in to score. The team added two more when Hubert and Vaughan came in to score on a Brandon Tierney single that made it 3-0.
The Green Team responded with a pair of runs in the top of the third to cut the deficit to just one. Lerick started the rally off with an infield single to third base and came all the way around to score when a Davis double moved him to third and an error on the right fielder allowed him to score.
Silva walked to put runners on first and second, and Cody Stephens moved the runners up on a sacrifice bunt. Lee followed with an RBI groundout to make it a 3-2 score.
The Blue Team added another run in the bottom half of the inning when Stafford Brantley reached on a hit-by-pitch, moved to second on a walk by David Tittle and moved to third as a walk to Guilford loaded the bases. The run scored on an unusual play as Pace struck out Vaughan, but a wild pitch allowed him to reach base as Brantley came in to score when the ball got away.
The Blue Team scored two runs in the fourth, three runs in the fifth and one run in the seventh to put the game out of reach. The Green team tried to rally, scoring three runs in the top of the ninth, but it would not be enough as the game finished with a 10-5 score.

A call was received by State Police Honesdale barracks that marijuana plants were seen growing outside a residence north of Honesdale. Troopers investigated and observed the plants at 20 Oregon Turnpike.
On Friday, August 23 a search warrant was served at the house. Trooper Winnberg reported that the subsequent search revealed a fully functional marijuana growing operation throughout the residence. There were approximately 17 plants in various stages of growth in a bathroom and a bedroom closet. There were also seven jars of processed marijuana in the house.
While at the property the troopers readily recognized at lest three marijuana plants, growing at a considerable height above all the other vegetation that was also growing there. All of the windows in the house were covered. One of the windows at the rear of the house had a small section of the interior exposed and there was a very bright light emitting from it.
An air conditioner was mounted in the window and was running. Troopers detected an odor of marijuana.
They also found several large magnets attached to the PPL meter base where the electricity enters the residence. "This concept is used to apparently slow down the speed of the meter so as to not show the actual power output that is being generated by the residence," Trooper Winnberg said.
Dennie Edward Mahon, age 43, returned home at about 7:45 p.m. and was detained by a waiting trooper. Mahon was arraigned on felony charges of Manufacturing a Controlled Substance, Possession of a Controlled Substance and Drug Paraphernalia.

Texas Library Association Tayshas High School Reading List
About the Book
When Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman and Emmy Award winner Michael Reaves teamed up, they created the bestselling YA novel InterWorld.
InterWorld tells the story of Joey Harker, a very average kid who discovers that his world is only one of a trillion alternate earths. Some of these earths are ruled by magic. Some are ruled by science. All are at war.
Joey teams up with alternate versions of himself from an array of these worlds. Together, the army of Joeys must battle evil magicians Lord Dogknife and Lady Indigo to keep the balance of power between all the earths stable. Teens—and tweens and adults—who obsessively read the His Dark Materials and Harry Potter series will be riveted by InterWorld and its sequel, The Silver Dream.
An astounding tale of adventure, danger, magic, science, friendship, spaceships, and, oh yeah, the battle to save all the people in all the worlds in all possible dimensions.
Joey Harker isn't a hero.
In fact, he's the kind of guy who gets lost in his own house.
But one day, Joey gets really lost. He walks straight out of his world and into another dimension.
Joey's walk between worlds makes him prey to armies of magic and science, both determined to harness Joey's power to travel between the dimensions. The only thing standing in their way is Joey—or, more precisely, an army of Joeys, all from different dimensions and all determined to save the worlds.
Now Joey must make a choice: return to the life he knows or join the battle to the end.

The choices you make today will impact your life tomorrow. This may sound like advice parents give their children, but it is especially true when it comes to taking care of your heart. While some risk factors for developing heart disease are beyond our control, such as age, race or family history, certain lifestyle choices we make in our 20s, 30s and 40s will definitely impact the quality of life in our 50s, 60s and 70s.
Heart disease does not develop overnight. It is a gradual, lifelong process that people cannot see or feel. Physical inactivity, smoking, obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes have all shown to influence the development and severity of heart disease. Fortunately, you can take steps now to prevent heart disease and enjoy a healthier life in the years to come. Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital recommends the following:
Put out that cigarette. People who smoke run twice the risk of having a heart attack as a non-smoker. There are more than 4,800 chemicals in tobacco smoke, including tar and nicotine. This toxic mixture can raise blood pressure, increase the tendency for blood to clot, harden the arteries and restrict blood flow to the heart.
Start moving. Exercising 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week has shown to improve heart function, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, boost energy and help maintain a healthy weight. According to the American Heart Association, every hour spent exercising now can add about two hours to your life expectancy.
Eat a nutritious, healthy diet. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products should be the routine. Try to limit your intake of saturated fats (beef, butter, cheese or milk) and trans fats (deep fried foods, margarine or crackers), which can raise blood cholesterol levels. Adding fish, a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, to your diet can help decrease the risk of heart attack, lower blood pressure and guard against irregular heartbeats.
Maintain a healthy weight. Your heart has to work harder if you are overweight. You also have an increased risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. Exercise and good nutrition are the only ways to maintain a healthy weight, not fad diets or supplements.
Other steps you can take to prevent heart disease include limiting alcohol, being screened for high blood pressure and high cholesterol, reducing stress and managing diabetes, if you have the condition. Heart disease may be the leading cause of death in the United States, but by adopting a healthy lifestyle today you may avoid heart problems in the future.
Start protecting yourself from heart disease by participating in a free preventive cardiac screening at Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital. The screening will include total cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, weight, risk factor analysis, and health information. The screening is scheduled for Saturday, October 11th from 8 to 11 a.m. in the Professional Building Classroom at 11302 Fallbrook Drive. Space is limited and reservations are required. Call 800-681-2733 to reserve your appointment today.

Share your experiences with the down2earth Oleta 5-k 10-k Half Marathon Trail Run April 29 below Back to event details page.
If I were simply rating the actual physical aspect of running the course, I would give this race 5 stars. However, my adrenaline kicking in during the run and the satisfaction I get from physical activity have little to do with the organization of this race and more to do with science.
The organization of this race was pretty ridiculous. Let's start with the packet pickup being on a Saturday between 2-6pm in North Miami. This teeny window of time and far location was not convenient in the least. Most races make packets available during the weekdays prior to the race so participants can scoop them up after work. With the numerous cycling shops (???) sponsoring the race, I'm sure packet pickup could have been more conveniently arranged at one of those locations.
On race day, one would think the pouring rain would have been our biggest obstacle. Instead, it was the twenty-minute line waiting to pay for "entrance" into a closed state park (that doesn't open until 8am) in addition to the race registration fee. This was absurd for a number of reasons: a) Obviously, if you're getting to the park at the crack of dawn, it's to run the race- not enjoy the park's services. b) The park isn't even open to the public at this time so, there's no chance that any of the registered runners are going to ditch the race and go kayaking instead. c) I don't recall any notification saying we'd have to pay for parking d) This little issue delayed the start time of the race by, at least, 10 minutes. Perhaps, next time, this stupid fee could be rolled into the registration fee even though, I don't think I should have to pay simply to enter the grounds for the race. I thought that's what the registration fee was for. Oh wait- that's used for T-shirts and numbers, right? Alas, Reason #54268516 why the organization of this race sucked- I didn't even get the stinking commemorative tee since they ran out. It's just as well. Although, it would have come in handy to wipe the mud off the backs of my legs after the race.
I had a great time! I enjoy these trail runs very much. They are far more difficult than regular street runs and far more challenging......Running in the pouring rain just added more to the adventure. I would like to see some extra bathroom facilities, and it would be nice to see the race results at least by the end of the day, but all in all, I would rate this as an enjoyable experience all around.
This was my first trail run, so I did the 5k, which turned out to be a good choice for a newbie because it seemed so much longer than a 5k road race. I was glad to break in my new trail shoes and Camelback properly but so thankful there was mosquito repellant for use since I forgot mine even after it was suggested at packet pick up at Big Wheel. It was quite the challenge and I was thrilled to learn today that I finished 3rd in the 5k. I guess an old dog CAN learn new tricks! Thanks for organizing the run and getting me motivated.
Great course, Great Run! Thanks for putting it together.
I had a great time. I have done 5k's before, but this one really challenged me. I would asked that more signs be put up on the trail to direct runners other then that I have no complaints.

Kaijubot wrote:Is there definitely only the time for the one?
Just to play Unicron's advocate here (because I like the background behind several of the recent tournaments even if I didn't really take part): Some people might get annoyed or see it as inappropriate if the "official" End of HMW I Tourny is based on two people's pet project. So it seems a better idea to schedule in two; one for Jeep?'s and FE's storyline and a more generic its-all-going-to-hell tourny as the capstone event before the launch of v2.
Like I said, just voicing a concern.
Also, I don't suppose anyone still has the material from the DSA's planned End of V1 event, do they?

Students Learn Better From Professors Outside Tenure System
Tenured professors at higher education institutions are certainly given more prestige than other lecturers. But are they better teachers?
In a new working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, researchers David N. Figlio, Morton O. Schapiro and Kevin B. Soter find quite the opposite — that is, tenured professors or those on their way to tenure don't enhance student learning as much as lecturers outside the tenure system.
Tenure effectively implies a contractual right to keep the job for life, barring unusual situations. Tenure-line professors have to fulfill certain requirements, which include publishing research, to progress toward tenure and promotion. Other lecturers are hired on a contractual basis, giving the university the option to renew their contracts.
In just under four decades, there has been a major shift away from the tenure system, with more universities hiring non-tenure-line professors. Nearly 60% of all instructional faculty at U.S. institutions, not including graduate student employees, were in the tenure system in 1975, according to data compiled by the American Association of University Professors. By 2009, the share declined to about half as much.
Using data on more than 15,000 undergraduate freshmen who entered Northwestern University between 2001 and 2008, Messrs. Figlio, Schapiro and Soter compared the teaching quality of professors in the tenure system to non-tenure-track lecturers. They looked specifically at their impact on student learning in introductory-level classes.
The researchers found that students taught by instructors outside the tenure system were more likely to take another class in the same subject and were also more likely to receive better grades in the subsequent class than those who had been taught by tenured or tenure-track professors. The results were more pronounced among relatively less-qualified students, as measured by standardized test scores.
"Our results provide evidence that the rise of full-time designated teachers at U.S. colleges and universities may be less of a cause for alarm than some people think, and indeed, may actually be educationally beneficial," the researchers write.
Since most of Northwestern's non-tenure-track professors are full-time and long-term, the paper speaks very little, Mr. Figlio says, as to whether it would be a good idea for universities to have their classes taught by adjuncts — part-time professors who are usually hired for the short-term.
The difference between professors in the tenure system and other full-time lecturers has to do with the reward system for the former. The criterion for retaining tenure-track faculty typically places a greater emphasis on research than teaching. "You're more likely to be retained if you're a mediocre teacher and an outstanding researcher than the other way around," Mr. Figlio says.
Should research-focused, tenure-line faculty be teaching at all? It would be "irresponsible" to do away with research faculty, Mr. Figlio says, since "research and teaching are highly complementary." In addition, the paper focuses on introductory-level classes; it's unclear whether tenured professors would outperform non-tenure-line lecturers in more advanced courses.

Old friends Bryan White, Lorrie Morgan and Bekka Bramlett sang for McCready and family members spoke about her difficulties and triumphs during the hour-long remembrance Wednesday at the Cathedral of the Incarnation.
"She achieved many of her dreams with No. 1 records and fame," said singer Lorrie Morgan, a former label mate of McCready's. "But we all know fame and fortune do not ensure happiness."
The Nashville memorial attended by about 200 comes two weeks after her funeral in her hometown of Fort Myers, Fla.
McCready shot herself last month on the front porch of the home she once shared with her fiance, David Wilson, in Heber Springs, Ark.
Authorities continue to investigate both deaths.
The 37-year-old, who struggled with drug and alcohol addiction and endured a series of failed and sometimes abusive relationships, had suffered a series of recent setbacks as well. She'd lost custody of her sons and checked out of a court-ordered substance abuse rehabilitation program in the days before her death.
A pair of McCready's cousins spoke for the singer's family. Ashley Webb read a letter from McCready's father, Tim, who said he watched his daughter deteriorate every day in the weeks after Wilson's death.
White also thanked a list of friends who went "above and beyond" for McCready, including Dr. Drew Pinsky, the "Celeb Rehab" host who attempted to help McCready and reached out to her in the days after Wilson's death. Pinsky has been criticized because five "Celeb Rehab" alumni have died since appearing on the show.
"All these people are people who made a huge impact on Mindy's life," White said.
McCready's former producer Jimmy Nichols, who helped guide her to the biggest successes of her singing career in the mid-to late-1990s, said he'd heard from McCready in the days before her death. She was seeking help with a song she wanted to put out in an attempt to restart her career. She sadly told him all she really wanted was her children back.
"I love you, Mindy. Rest well," he said. "You have so many angels guarding your soul tonight."

By the numbers: 1,000-point scoring teammates
The Hoop Zone's crack research staff dove into our archives, and also contacted veteran coaches in the region, and were unable to uncover any evidence that teammates had ever scored career points No. 1,000 in the same game.
In fact, teammates scoring their 1,000th career points in the same season is rare enough. Here are a few that we uncovered:
Technically this shouldn't count, because McAllister actually hit 1,000 in his junior season (he finished with 1,670, which was fifth all-time in the state at the time), while Keilty (1,060) earned 1,000 the following year.
Like the Nonnewaug pair, Vigeant hit 1,000 the season before, on the way to scoring 2,148 for his career. Gleason hit 1,000 in his final game.
Is this the first time an area team had two 1,000-point men in one season? We're not sure, but we do know that Giampetruzzi (1,193) and Robinson (1,205) formed one of the NVL's most potent combinations.
Lott scored his 1,000th point as a junior, on the way to become the NVL's all-time leading scorer at the time (2,212). Eason did it as a senior, and finished with 1,035.
In what might be the first for girls, this Eagles' pair hit 1,000. Mancini ended her career with 1,142, and Early with 1,034.
As mentioned above, this may not actually count because Malloy did it as a junior and finished his career with 2,124. Williams hit 1,000 the following season and ended with 1,046.
Robinson hit 1,000 in the season opener, and Lott later in the state tournament. The team also boasted future 1,000-point scorers in D'Vonne Parker and Manny Wright.
This Greyhounds duo probably came as close as you can to hitting 1,000 on the same night, but even so, they did it three weeks apart.
Like Wilby, at one point, Crosby had four present or future 1,000 points scorers on the floor, in Allen, Moore, Saunders, and Monteiro.
The Bulldogs were loaded in this era, and here is another pair. Saunders and Monteiro went on to successful collegiate careers at Duquesne.
The potent Crusaders won the state title that season, and Clements and McKeon bookended the 1,000-point mark. Clements did it on opening night, and McKeon in the first-round of the CIAC tourney.
Yikes, Ray Behr was loaded this season. The Highlanders boasted the unique balance, we think, of having three players hit 1,000.
This potent combo did it on the inside and the outside. An interesting fact about Skinner: He hit 1,000 during a state tournament game, from the foul line. His dad bounded out of the stands to hug Robert, and the team was hit with an technical foul. So much for sentiment.
Note: This list is likely not complete. If you know of any other 1,000-point combinations, please send in the names and season to firstname.lastname@example.com

The oil at the bottom of the reservoir never gets hot enough to burn or scorch the batter, keeping it clean to reduce oil usage by up to 70% over comparable fryers. Constructed of durable carbon steel with a high temp charcoal finish. 8.5-Gallon Fryer holds three 13-1/4" x 5-5/8" x 5-5/8" baskets. Made in USA.

1.0 OverviewThis outing is a winter overnight climb of Black Mountain for both younger and older scouts. At 2,836 feet, Black Mountain is not large, but it rises steeply from the Connecticut River valley to a rocky summit, so in winter conditions it provides plenty of challenge. The approach over the Chippewa trail is quite steep in places, and it may present a few difficulties. The snow and weather conditions will make for serious winter camping.
2.0 Concept
2.1 DescriptionWe will approach by the Chippewa (Haverhill Heritage) Trail, starting at the trailhead on Limekiln Road. The trail is only about 2.5 miles, but it involves deep snow, crossing bodies of water (the beaver ponds), and several very steep slopes. March can bring almost any weather, so we should be prepared for serious weather conditions. The Chippewa Trail briefly follows a woods road before starting the ascent. The trail then goes through a spruce forest and then lastly over a section of bare rock. Snowshoes will be essential for travel, both for deep snow and for ice.
After climbing and setting up camp, we may do another activity like making an excursion to Tipping Rock.
In the morning we will break camp and return to the base of the mountain by going north on the Black Mountain Trail. This trail will bring us out on NH 116 in Benton.
Given the difficulty of the approach, the troop will be prepared to camp enroute, but if all goes well, we should be able to camp at the site just below the summit.
2.2 Schedule of EventsSaturday, 28Mar09
1000 -- Meet at the community center.
1130 -- Arrive at trailhead (eat lunch on route).
1430 -- Arrive at summit.
1500 -- Set up camp. Excusion to Tipping Rock if time.
1800 -- Dinner
1930 -- Campfire
2200 -- Lights Out
Sunday, 29Mar09
0800 -- Breakfast
1000 -- Strike Camp
1030 -- Begin Descent
1200 -- Reach Trailhead
1330 -- Arrive in Hanover
2.3 Expected Conditions and DifficultyThis climb should be well prepared for and is not to be taken lightly.
The weather conditions could be serious, and proper clothing will be essential. Expect snow, ice, rock, and cold conditions. Snowshoes will be required, as it is likely we will have deep snow.
Water is available by melting snow.
The campsite is well protected from the weather by being off the summit and in the woods.
The forecast is for Saturday to be in the 40's to 50's. We should expect to be dealing with a lot of melting. At night temps in the 20's - so things will freeze.
2.4 Special RequirementsOpen to all Boy Scouts, Scouters, and parents.

Adrian Brian Fisch was the founder of "The Red Badge of Courage" and served in the US Army in Vietnam from 1969-1970.
When Adrian Fisch returned from Vietnam, he started a life-long search for his missing friend. Along the way he discovered new information about missing enlisted men. He would share that information without charge to the families of those MIA.
He was active in the search for the men who remained missing in action and stopped only when it could be shown that the men were dead and their remains could be returned to their families.
Adrian Fisch passed away Sept. 13, 1999, after a long and debilitating brain disease.
Adrian Fisch's wife Janet Fisch received a phone call recently from Art and Dianne Meyenburg.
"They requested I design a plaque in memory of Adrian to be hung outside a room furnished in Adrian's honor," said Fisch.
The plaque holds a picture of Adrian Fisch along with the Red Badge of Courage pin and an explanation of Adrian Fisch's impact during his search for missing soldiers.
This memorial to Adrian Fisch will be posted outside a bedroom in the "Eagles Healing Nest" Residential Treatment Center for returning veterans located in Sauk Centre, Minn.
"Eagles Healing Nest" is the creation of Mothers of veterans and was created for veterans to have a space of their own surrounded by the resources and support they need to heal after they return from war.
The Sauk Centre building will host 37 veterans. The plaque hanging outside of the room is meant as a reminder that there are others out there experiencing the same struggles and is also meant to be small tribute to a great man.

You would think that a person as familiar with the gun culture as journalist Dick Metcalf (above) wouldn't be surprised at the death threats he's received from the knuckledraggers who took umbrage at one of his columns.
HERE's what happened:
The byline of Dick Metcalf, one of the country�s pre-eminent gun journalists, has gone missing. It has been removed from Guns & Ammo magazine, where his widely-read column once ran on the back page. He no longer stars on a popular television show about firearms. Gun companies have stopped flying him around the world and sending him the latest ...

@tbrizitsky Totally agree.
Command-line rar binary (29$) to add WinRar archives support to BetterZip can be found here:
I like sArchiver more
Loving this little utility. I've completely removed Stuffit from my Mac!
The new option "delete after 1.8 version" has a problem with rar files which have filenames encrypted. If you provide the wrong password, the file will be deleted anyway.
Hands down the best compressione tool on the mac. And close to perfection now with the 1.8 release, where the archives can be moved to the trash after being successfully extracted. My next feature would be the possibility to enqueue the files to extract.
Excellent application. First of all it may become a Mac version of WinRAR (thanks to supporting commandline RAR) and native support for creating 7ZIPs is excellent. Unlike Unarchiver it works fine with password-protected RARs and also lets you preview files before extracting. And finally, it works well as unarchiving tool even after expiration.
The best mac archiver I've seen so far.
Might want to give this a try: http://osx.iusethis.com/app/zipeg
It's free, and let's you preview/view files before you extract.
i forgot to mention, the encrypted archive feature, is very useful [as it was on some other archive apps i can remember from the windows days].
I've fallen in love---it was the use of RAR command line files as "Helpers" to compress that won me over. Haven't found anything that can touch this yet.
this is by far the most intuitive and functionally efficient compression application on the mac platform. i just made the switch from pc to mac about a week ago, after trying upwards of half a dozen archiving programs i finally settled on this one and it has proved to be an invaluable addition to the collection of software i have amassed thus far.

Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers are winning again. It's just a two-game streak, but it's still a turnaround from their abysmal play of late.
Bryant scored 34 points, Metta World Peace added 19 points and a career-high 16 rebounds, and the Lakers won consecutive games for the first time in nearly a month with a 111-98 victory over the host Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.
Dwight Howard had 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Lakers, who have won two in a row for the first time since a three-game streak from Nov. 16-20.
"It's guys playing with confidence and guys trusting each other," said Bryant, who was 12 for 21 from the field. "We played well, communicated well, kept attacking, and good things happened. I know the questions have been coming because we hadn't been winning, but our time will come."
Even without injured stars Steve Nash and Pau Gasol, the Lakers hardly resembled the team that entered the night four games below .500. Bryant has scored at least 30 points in six consecutive games.
Nick Young paced the 76ers with 30 points.
Raptors 103, Rockets 96: Jose Calderon had 18 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds to lead host Toronto over Houston.
Calderon, who started for the third straight game in place of the injured Kyle Lowry, held Rockets guard Jeremy Lin to just seven points and two assists.
The Rockets have lost seven straight on the road.
"It was a disappointing one," Lin said. "We obviously didn't get the win, and I don't think we played particularly well. Not the best feeling."
James Harden scored 28 points for the Rockets.
Trail Blazers 95, Hornets 94: Rookie Damian Lillard hit a 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds left, and host Portland handed New Orleans its sixth straight loss.
The Hornets had trailed by as many as 16 points before Austin Rivers hit a 3-pointer for New Orleans to tie it at 92 with 50.9 seconds left.
The Blazers then absorbed a blow when LaMarcus Aldridge suddenly came up limping and headed to the locker room with what appeared to be a left ankle injury, but Lillard came through to give Portland the win.
The winning shot appeared to come at the buzzer, but a review put the fraction back on the clock. Lance Thomas made a layup for the Hornets as time ran out for the final margin.
J.J. Hickson had 24 points and added 16 rebounds for the Blazers. Ryan Anderson had 26 points for New Orleans.
Nuggets 122, Kings 97: Reserve JaVale McGee scored 19 points, Danilo Gallinari had 18, and Denver cruised past host Sacramento.
The Nuggets led by 18 at halftime and 97-67 entering the fourth quarter.
Starting Kings guard Tyreke Evans played the first 10 minutes, then left the game for good with a sore left knee. He missed five of the previous eight games because of his injured knee.
Bucks: Center Joel Przybilla has been suspended one game without pay for throwing a basketball that hit a referee during a game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He will serve his suspension Tuesday when the Bucks host the Indiana Pacers.

Asia's Most Popular Google Searches
What were Asia's most popular Google searches for 2012? Data released by the search-engine giant on Thursday revealed a few terms you'd expect – and also turned up a few surprises.
Gangnam, the upscale Seoul district, was virtually unheard of outside Korea before Psy's "Gangnam Style" song and music video went viral. Now Psy is a household name, and his horsey dance as widespread as the "Macarena" was in 1994.
Not everyone in Asia cared, however. K-pop-savvy Japan didn't respond to the hype, while India was more interested in Bollywood and its stars. "Gangnam Style," meanwhile, was the most-watched music video in Taiwan, but people there searched for it on YouTube instead of Google.
Not all of Asia took an interest in international sports, either. The Olympics were big in China, Japan and South Korea, but they didn't turn up in searches from India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia or Taiwan – all areas with low medal counts this year. Think Euro 2012 was a big deal? Nowhere but Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore agreed with you.
Psy wasn't the only pop-culture phenomenon to dominate Google searches. Former Knicks player Jeremy Lin was a favorite across Asia, particularly in Singapore and Greater China. Whitney Houston, who died in February, was also what Google called a "universal search term," while TV singing contest "The Voice" was searched for in countries including Vietnam, Australia and China (Indonesia, for its part, preferred "Indonesian Idol").
As for the U.S. election? Singapore was the only place where people searched for it in large numbers.

Many elected officials take their public responsibilities very seriously. They work hard, study the issues and strive to provide services for constituents while respecting that they're spending taxpayer funds.
Unfortunately, far too many, in their quest for power and popularity, ignore financial realities as they dole out money indiscriminately. Some know exactly what they're doing; some are clueless.
The City Council candidates in Union City fall into the latter category. Incumbent Jim Navarro, after two terms on the council, and challenger Jose Estrella are two deer lost in the headlights.
It might be amusing if there wasn't so much at stake.
Union City is one of many municipalities buried in debt for employee retirement programs. The city is supposed to fund the benefits as workers earn them. If sufficient money is invested, it should cover the future payouts. But these programs have been badly underfunded.
In Union City's case, the situation is horrible. The retirement programs are short $96 million. That's nearly five years of city payroll, excluding overtime. It works out to about $1,364 for each Union City resident.
It's a debt for benefits employees have already earned. It should have been funded, just like salaries, at the time the workers provided the labor. Instead, the city treats it like a credit card balance, which it plans to stretch out for decades, making future generations pay for the financial sins of their elders.
Did Navarro, after eight years on the City Council, understand this? Actually, he told us that the city is in the black.
It's like saying that a household budget is balanced because a family is making the minimum payments on its astronomical credit card bills. In Union City's case, it makes most of the minimum payments, but not even all of them.
But what about the credit card balance, the $96 million? Navarro had no idea it existed. Most elected officials at least understand that their cities face unfunded liabilities for their retirement programs. It's what drives the entire discussion about pension reform.
Not Navarro.
He knew none of the basics about the lucrative pension benefits his city provides most employees. He didn't know the benefit formulas. He didn't know that his police pay 1 percent of their salary toward their pensions while taxpayers contribute about 40 percent.
As for Estrella, he couldn't offer a cogent reason why he was running. He said he was "for property rights." He said he "sees a lot of cities that are on the verge of going bankrupt." But when it comes to Union City, "I see that it's a very well-run city."
He was guessing. He had no idea.
We asked why, given their lack of knowledge, we should consider endorsing either of them. They had no answer. Nor do we.
We can't recommend either candidate -- and we won't.
