CHARLESTON - Seven Williamstown seniors were on a mission and it was 100 percent accomplished via a total team effort here Saturday afternoon inside the Charleston Civic Center as the Yellowjackets turned back Little Kanawha Conference champion Tyler Consolidated 25-20, 25-21 and 25-15 to win the Class A state volleyball championship.
Although the Silver Knights had posted a victory against the Yellowjackets in their lone meeting this season, there was no denying Williamstown (39-8-1) this year after they came so close to winning it all in 2011 and had to settle for a runner-up finish.
One of those seniors, Kenzie Smith, put it best when she said "these girls are my sisters for life. We pour our hearts out into everything we do."

It's a massive group hug around Williamstown's Lauren Amos, center, as the Yellow Jackets celebrate Saturday after winning the West Virginia Class A state championship in Charleston. Williamstown scored a 3-0 victory over Tyler Consolidated in the title match.
Try as they might, Tyler Consolidated (45-5) just couldn't find a way to get around the blocking of Williamstown and its defense, which was led by senior libero Brooke Cieslewski, who posted a match-high 25 digs.
"Our libero is crazy good. Brooke is amazing and I'm on cloud nine," added Smith, who finished with four points, an ace, 12 assists, five kills, six digs and four blocks in the finals.
The Silver Knights were led by Allison Wable's five kills and eight blocks, but the quartet of Abby Atkinson, Bridget Matthews, Megan Carpenter and Sydney Reed were held to a combined nine downed spikes.

"I told our girls Williamstown was on a mission and they played fantastic," said Silver Knight head coach Richard Summers. "We couldn't have played better.
"We hit the ball and did everything we needed to do. It just kept coming back. We had five seniors, but it's very hard to beat seven seniors."
Torrye Cline (three points, 11 assists, 17 digs) gave the Silver Knights a quick 2-0 cushion in the opening set from the service line and after teammate Shay Yonaley later served up an ace, things were even at nine.
However, consecutive downed spikes by Lauren Amos ignited a 6-2 spurt that included a Lincoln Postlewaite kill and a Carley Ellison kill block.
Thanks to a quartet of unforced errors by the 'Jackets, the Silver Knights later closed the gap to 20-19, but Ashton Chancellor had a key ace and Ellison ended the set with two kills, the final coming from one of Jessie Kerns' match-high 15 assists.
A trio of early downed spikes by Postlewaite helped WHS jump out to a 4-1 cushion in set two. Although a Reed service tally squared things at eight and it was 11-11 following a service point from Yonaley, a quick 5-0 run by the 'Jackets was capped by a Ciara Flowers ace as the Wood County program took control.
Despite Tyler battling back to within two at 21-19 thanks to a trio of Reed service points, Williamstown took a commanding 2-0 advantage in the best-of-five match when Ellison put down set point from a Smith assist.
A kill by Matthews along with an ensuing point by Wable gave Tyler Consolidated an early 5-4 lead in the third set, but consecutive downed spikes by Ellison and Chancellor put the Yellowjackets ahead for good.
Smith nearly served out for the win, getting five straight tallies, as match point was set up by a Flowers kill from a bad TCHS pass that resulted in Matthews taking one on the noggin. Although Smith followed that with a service error as she tried to squeeze it into an opening and missed, the 'Jackets were able to celebrate on the second match point when the Silver Knights were whistled for being in the net.
"I think last year was a great experience for us," Cieslewski said. "Last year was really intimidating. We had seven seniors and we all wanted it so bad. It was our last chance."
Postlewaite finished with seven kills while Flowers joined Ellison with five downed spikes. Kerns also added eight points and a pair of aces while Flowers and Ellison had eight blocks apiece.
"One (state title) is better than none. It's a good feeling," Ellison noted. "We used it (losing to Wirt County last year after being up two sets to one in the finals) as fuel for the fire. We wanted it so badly and it was kind of a blessing in disguise."
Williamstown head coach Rachelle Pallini's squad actually ended the campaign by winning each of its final 20 sets. The Yellowjackets lost the second set in Mt. Zion during sectional play to Wirt County and never lost another one.
It was the second title in school history for the Yellowjackets, who also won the 2004 crown. Tyler Consolidated was making its first Class A finals appearance and won its only state title back in Class AA during the 2007 season.
Postlewaite, Cieslewski, Smith, Ellison, Wable, Cline and Yonaley were joined on the all-tournament team by Magnolia's Mallory Chapman and East Hardy's Morgan Mongold. Sherman picked up the sportsmanship award.
In the Class AAA finals, George Washington's nine seniors topped Musselman in straight sets -25-21, 25-23 and 25-13. Parkersburg's Imani Ward landed on the all-tournament squad.

1. Speech #7: One in a Million
Throughout the explanation of luck, work, and love, I wove in stories about my childhood: gymnastics lessons, piano practice, chess... and computers, of course. =) (They laughed when I told them my only souvenirs from gymnastics were posture, poise, and a flat head from falling on the floor too many times.)
I wanted to talk about my parents, but even after I dropped a lot of material from the speech, I still clocked in at nine minutes--well over the 5-7 minute goal. Then again, even our timer didn't realize how much time had already passed. <grin> I guess it was a good speech, then.
The audience liked how I used simple statistics, research, and personal experience to support a story. =) I got plenty of wonderful feedback from the Toastmasters! It's always fun to perform in front of such a supportive and helpful audience.
Not bad for a speech I'd _just_ finished sketching in class that afternoon... I had most of it in my speech ideas notebook, but I hadn't settled on the specific examples until today.
Much fun. I'm looking forward to doing speech #8, which will help me get comfortable with visual aids. I've already got something planned for that one! I don't think I'll be able to finish my CTM by the end of the year--not with the end of term coming up!--but it should be pretty smooth sailing, thanks to my well-stocked idea book.
2. Flash fiction: Damsel in Distress
DAMSEL IN DISTRESS (263 words)
He fought his way past the thorny briars and slew the ferocious dragon--all without getting a spot on his gleaming armor. He climbed to the highest room in the highest tower, took off his helmet, and woke the sleeping princess with a gentle (but manly) kiss.
She snapped awake. "ARRRRRRRRRRRGH! Can't anyone get any rest around here?!"
"But... but... Weren't you a damsel in distress?"
"A damsel in _STRESS._ Which is why I was resting, until you very rudely came along and woke me up."
"I'm sorry! It's just that I saw a dragon, and dragons usually guard beautiful princesses and..."
"What did you do to my dragon?!" She ran to the window and saw the bloody carcass. "Pookie! You killed Pookie! Don't you know how hard it is to raise dragons? Every time I manage to train one to sit and beg, some dumb oaf comes along and kills it!"
"I'm sorry--I really am--forgive my--"
"And you chopped down my rose garden!"
"I'm really sorry about that, but I had to rescue--"
"I have HAD it with people who ASSUME that princesses need RESCUING more than they need their BEAUTY SLEEP! OUT!" She bashed him with a pillow. "OUT! I don't want to see you ever again!"
"Okay! I'm sorry!" He backed down the flight of stairs, cowering behind his shield as the princess pillow-whacked him all the way to the ground floor.
"AND STAY OUT!" she yelled as he galloped off into the sunset. She bolted the door, trudged upstairs, and started writing a letter.

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) -- A Mexican aviation official says it will take at least 10 days to have a preliminary report on the plane crash that killed singer Jenni Rivera.
The 43-year-old singer, born in California, was on a Learjet with six other people that took off from Monterrey early Sunday after a concert there. The wreckage was found hours later in rugged territory in northern Mexico. The plane appeared to have disintegrated on impact.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is sending a team to help investigate the crash.
Rivera was at the peak of her career as a singer in a style of Mexican music known as grupero. She was known for her soulful voice, as well as her openness about her personal troubles.
She was recently divorced from her third husband -- former Major League baseball pitcher Esteban Loaiza. And she told reporters after Saturday night's concert that she was trying to move away from her problems and "focus on the positive." She said, "I can't get caught up in the negative because that destroys you."

Since its founding in 1986, the Center for Shakespeare Studies has connected the realms of Shakespeare performance, teaching, and scholarship. Shakespeare Studies programs reflect a dedication to teaching Shakespeare through performance by seeing stage and film performances of the plays, by bringing on-your-feet performance techniques into the classroom, and by learning from the actors, directors, designers, and other professionals who bring the plays to life on stage.
The Center for Shakespeare Studies contributes actively to the scholarship that takes Shakespeare in performance as its subject, from reviews of plays and interviews of actors to lectures and papers on performance issues in both Shakespeare's time and ours.
Shakespeare Studies programs bring the fruits of Shakespeare scholarship not only to SOU undergraduates but to middle and high school students, actors and directors, high school and college teachers, and playgoers.

A former San Ramon family law attorney was sentenced to two years in prison Monday for evading taxes and illegally eavesdropping on a client's estranged spouse with the help of a now-incarcerated private investigator who set up divorcing men for drunken-driving arrests.
Mary Nolan, 62, of Oakland, already relinquished her law license and paid $469,000 in back taxes Sept. 27 after she pleaded guilty to four counts of tax evasion and one count of illegal eavesdropping.
Prosecutors wanted her to serve 33 months in prison, saying she hired ex-Concord private investigator Christopher Butler to bug the cars of people she was opposing in divorce and child custody cases, and hiding $1.8 million in income from the Internal Revenue Service between 2005 and 2008. Nolan pleaded guilty to one count of eavesdropping that did not involve a DUI arrest.
"This is not a run of the mill tax case. The defendant is an attorney who evaded taxes by brazenly declaring negative taxable income for four years, when her true net worth was approximately $3 million," prosecutor Hartley West wrote in a sentencing memorandum. "Moreover, this defendant is an attorney who orchestrated the installation of unlawful listening devices in her clients' spouses' cars for the purpose of obtaining information to use in her clients' divorce proceedings, and lied about it to boot."
Nolan was just one character in the "dirty DUI" scandal that implicated current and former East Bay police officers in a scheme where the estranged spouses of Nolan's clients were set up for DUI arrests that could then be used as leverage in family court.
Nolan represented the ex-wives of two men who were arrested after Butler's attractive female employees lured them into drinking and driving. Those convictions were expunged after the scheme became known in 2011, when Butler and jailed former Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Team Commander Norman Wielsch were caught selling drug evidence and admitted to pimping and robbery, among other crimes.
"I thought she should have got more for all the pain she caused," said Declan Woods, a Clayton contractor whose ex-wife hired Nolan during their divorce. "She got caught, and justice was served, and now hopefully everyone can move on."
Nolan paid $1,500 for Butler to track Woods, Butler told investigators. After a ruse in 2007 involving Butler's colleague, Woods was pulled over and arrested for a DUI.
Nolan is a defendant in two of the half-dozen civil lawsuits lodged by targets of Butler's "dirty DUIs."
"I was set up for a DUI, and it's cost me a fortune," said Woods, who sued Nolan in 2012. "Plus, there's the embarrassment of getting a DUI."
Judge Charles Breyer decided to sentence Nolan, who had a clean criminal history, to almost a year less than what prosecutors sought.
In court documents, Nolan explained for the first time her motivations.
"Regarding my offenses, I know that I lost my way and made terrible decisions," Nolan wrote. " ... I know that I should never have been involved in the eavesdropping. I rationalized that it was a way of helping my client and that I got carried away in my zeal. But that sounds ridiculous even as I write it."
A doctor for Nolan said in court documents she suffered from chronic post-traumatic stress disorder due to losing her grandparents at a young age and her parents while in college. She spent much of her adult life "sabotaging" her relationships often by having an affair, her attorney Ted Cassman wrote.
According to court records, Nolan sold her house to pay her tax debt.
"The forced sale of Ms. Nolan's home and her resignation from the Bar were difficult pills to swallow. She loved them both very much," Cassman wrote. "Her career and life are in tatters."
Former Danville police officer Stephen Tanabe is the final "dirty DUI" figure to be sentenced Feb. 19. He was convicted of receiving a gun from Butler in exchange for setting up targets in Danville.
Butler testified against Tanabe and would have taken the stand against Nolan too, had she gone to trial.
Butler received eight years, and Wielsch got 14 years for their roles in the scheme.

I've been using PS3 Media Server on Windows for awhile now and decided I no longer wanted the overhead of Windows. I also didn't want to download a complete Linux distribution and have to deal with extra bloat. So, using Suse Studio I created a Linux distribution based around PS3 Media Server. I call it PMServ.
PMServ is designed to be headless and lean so that it can have more resources available for transcoding. The goal is to have an all-in-one server that will be able to download media and share that media with as much automagic as possible.
Current features include:
PS3 Media Server
- Shares all media located in the Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures, TV, and USB directories in the /shared directory.
- Update to the latest SVN revision using the command "ps3mediaserver-update".
- Edit the configuration using the command "ps3mediaserver-editconf".
- Starts automatically just like a real daemon. Manage the service using the command "service ps3mediaserver [start|stop|restart|status]".
- Multithreaded Mencoder via mencoder-mt. Users with 2 or more cores will get more performance with this. Use the command `enable-mencoder-mt` to enable. (64-bit only)
- Web UI (port 9091) makes for easy remote management.
- By default, torrents download to /shared/Downloads so that new media is instantly available via PS3 Media Server.
- Automatically extracts .rar files from downloaded torrents.
- Edit the configuration using the command "transmission-editconf".
- Starts automatically just like a real daemon. Manage the service using the command "service transmission [start|stop|restart|status]".
- Web UI (port 8080) makes for easy remote management.
- By default, nzbs download to /shared/Downloads so that new media is instantly available via PS3 Media Server.
- Setup using the command "sabnzbd-setup". From there, just login to the Web UI to configure.
- Starts automatically just like a real daemon. Manage the service using the command "service sabnzbd [start|stop|restart|status]".

SAO PAULO -- The world has never seen so much yellow, nor so much exuberance for a sport, as it witnessed Thursday as the 2014 World Cup, billed here as the Copa Das Copas, the Cup of All Cups, kicked off in this soccer-obsessed nation.
The party got going with a 3-1 Brazil win over Croatia that was closer than the score indicates. It included an own-goal by Brazil, first in that team's World Cup history, and a controversial Croatian foul that led to a penalty kick by tournament poster boy Neymar, who scored Brazil's first two goals.
Croatian coach Niko Kovac was livid after the match.
"That is shameful, this is not a World Cup referee," he said of referee Yuichi Nishimura. "He had one kind of criteria for them and another for us ... there wasn't any respect for Croatia. If that's how we start the World Cup, then we may as well give up and go home now."
Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari saw it differently.
"Millions didn't see a penalty? Well, the referee did," he said. "I watched it 10 times. For me, it was a penalty."
After seven years of bickering, social unrest (including some just before kickoff) and criticism for shoddy infrastructure, the 32-team monthlong tournament finally began amid a sea of proud fans in their team's trademark yellow shirts. Think of all things yellow -- bananas, lemons, Pac-Man, daffodils, canaries, Big Bird -- and none is as yellow as the 61,000 fans that rocked Arena de Sao Paulo, packed trains and filled the parks in the city center on a gloriously sunny afternoon.
The first goal of the match was a shocking 11th-minute own-goal by Brazil defender Marcelo. Ivica Olic's low cross deflected off Nikica Jelavic and into the path of Marcelo, who stuck out his leg to clear it and inadvertently knocked it in, causing a hush in the stadium. No host team has ever lost its opener, and Brazil didn't want to be the first.
Neymar restored Brazilian pride and tied the game with a 29th-minute left-footed goal off a nice feed from Oscar, who battled in the midfield to win the ball. The stadium erupted as Neymar's shot careened off the right post into the net. Scolari roared, and fireworks exploded all over town.
"Things weren't going well," Neymar said. "The first match is always difficult, we were anxious, we were nervous. I'm glad I was able to get the goals we needed at the time we needed them."
"He is a special player and we know that," Scolari said. "And he needs to know that we know that."
Then, in the 69th minute, came a game-changing moment Croatians won't soon forget. Brazil forward Fred went down in the box after slight pressure from Dejan Lovren, and referee Yuichi Nishimura booked Lovren with a yellow card and gave a penalty kick to Brazil. Neymar stepped up, the pressure of the nation on his slender shoulders, stutter-stepped and then launched his shot.
Croatian keeper Stipe Pletikosa guessed right and got both hands on the ball, but it went in anyway, delighting the home crowd.
Kovac did not mince words after the match.
"The rules were not the same for us and them," he said. "If that's a penalty, then we can just stop playing football right now. Let's play basketball instead."
Midfielder Ivan Rakitic added: "This was a great game by both teams, and it's a pity it was spoiled by a bad referee decision."
Oscar made sure Neymar's goal wasn't the decider with a toe-poke in stoppage time to make it 3-1.
A draw would have been a huge disappointment for Brazil, which had won its opening match the last eight times and is an overwhelming favorite to win the competition.
"The team didn't give up," Brazil defender David Luiz said "We knew it would be hard, but we played well and got that first goal and then the victory."

There is no set requirement on what metrics a company should track to measure their overall performance. Each company should determine which metrics to track based on their operations, number of facilities they operate and where they are located, what types of products they manufacture, and what type of culture exists in their places of business.
DETERMINING WHICH METRICS TO TRACKWhen establishing a metrics program, companies should evaluate numerous data input points including, but not limited to, product quality attributes, manufacturing site performance, people metrics, and quality system metrics. For product-quality metrics, companies should consider reporting on batch-specific data such as trending drug product, drug substance, and stability-test results against customer complaint rates. Indirect product quality metrics could include environmental monitoring, water trend results, and yield rates. When establishing site metrics the company could look at inspection history including internal audit findings and maintenance history such as equipment age versus defect failure rates. People metrics should consider ongoing job-specific training and education, skills and experience assessments, and employee turnover rate by job function and site. Quality systems metrics might look at change control, investigation root-cause trends, and release-testing cycle times.
The metrics chosen must be meaningful and written to provide a clear analysis of ongoing activities. It is important for operations and quality to agree on the metrics and how to report them to management to avoid overreaction to the data. It is not sufficient to simply report the data. The interpretation of the data is of crucial importance because it may include a root-cause analysis of its own.

WASHINGTON (October 5, 2012)--Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Friday the drop in the nation's unemployment rate to 7.8 percent in September "is not what a real recovery looks like."
The former Massachusetts governor responded to the September jobs report released Friday by arguing that President Barack Obama has a failed record on the economy.
He pointed to millions of Americans still struggling for work, living in poverty and using food stamps to feed their families.
He also argued that the rate is low in part because some people have stopped looking for work.
The U.S. Labor Department said 114,000 jobs were added last month, helping bring the jobless rate to its lowest point since Mr. Obama took office in January 2009.
The figures were a much-needed boost for Mr. Obama after a disappointing debate performance against Romney this week.

Ex-D.C. Mayor Marion Barry's Twitter Account Reaches Out to 'House of Cards'
Former Washington D.C. mayor Marion Barry, whose tenure was marked with scandal, is apparently reaching out to the fictional politician Francis J. Underwood of "House of Cards."
"Happy Valentines Day DC! I'm going tb hugged up w/my boo 2night watching 1 of our fav shows#houseofcards. What r U doing 2day 4 ur boo?," read a note posted on Barry's Twitter account.
When the fake account of Francis J. Underwood, the villainous Congressman from "House of Cards," sent a response telling Barry, "I like your style," and the two launched into an exchange. A note posted on Barry's account suggested that he, like millions of others, had been waiting for the second season of "House of Cards to be released. "Missed you bruh. Looking forward to tonight's drama…needed break from my own. LOL!" the note read.
The full season of the political drama was released on Feb. 14.
Last year, Barry, who is now a D.C. council member, revealed on Twitter that he was a fan of "Scandal." Barry was caught in a drug sting in 1990 and spent time in prison on drug charges.
A representative for Barry didn't return a request for comment.
@RepUnderwoodSC Missed you bruh. Looking forward to tonight's drama...needed break from my own. LOL!— Marion S. Barry, Jr. (@marionbarryjr) February 14, 2014

Whether you're gearing up for a Shark Week viewing party or hosting a "Sharknado" watch-a-thon, you'll need proper libations to enjoy these cinematic treasures properly.
The Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week viewing frenzy returns to the airwaves on Aug. 4 with its usual array of hammerheads, great whites and many, many teeth. Meanwhile, Syfy rebroadcast its shlocktastic viral sensation last week and has greenlit plans for "Sharknado 2," which will be set in New York City.
No word as yet on whether the sequel's weather action will include the hurricanes and tornadoes that swept Los Angeles in the original film, but we are eagerly anticipating sharks in Central Park. And we've got "Sharknado" safely stashed on our DVR to help pass the time until the sequel airs.
Last week, as anticipation built for the Syfy airing, we turned to Sam Babalola, mixologist at Oakland's swanky Southern restaurant, Picán, for help in mixing up a suitable shark-inspired cocktail. New Orleans is not exactly known for tornadoes, but it knows other weather calamities very well indeed. So Babalola gave us The Sharikane, a shark-plus-hurricane concoction with a blood orange tinge. No chain saws necessary.
The Sharikane
Serves 1 "Sharknado" fan
1 sprig rosemary
1 1/2 ounces Skyy strawberry vodka
1/4 ounce lemon juice
1/4 ounce lime juice
1/2 ounce passion fruit puree
1/2 ounce simple syrup
Soda water
1/4 ounce blood orange syrup
1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the rosemary.
2. Add the vodka, lemon and lime juice, passion fruit puree, simple syrup and ice. Shake vigorously.
3. Strain into a hurricane glass with ice. Top with a splash of soda water, float the blood orange syrup on top, and garnish with rosemary.
-- Sam Babalola, Picán
Shark Fan Fodder
Wondering what to watch while you sip that Sharikane?
Shark Week: The Discovery Channel's popular shark-centric week kicks off Aug. 4, with hours devoted to "Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives," "Voodoo Sharks," "Spawn of Jaws" and more. (Don't let all that sensational "I Escaped Jaws" footage scare you out of the water. You are more likely to win an Academy Award than to get eaten by a shark.) Find Shark Week details at dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/shark-week. You'll find a link to 10 shark conservation projects there too.
'Sharknado': Syfy knows a good thing when it sees one. "Sharknado" will air again at 9 p.m. July 27 and 7 p.m. Aug. 22. Details: www.syfy.com.

Jermaine Jackson has filed a court petition to change his name to Jermaine Jacksun.
Right. Like the star ... the star he thinks he is.
"To him, it's no big deal. It's for artistic reasons. It's changing one letter to put in something bright and positive," Jackson's friend Steve Dennis told the Daily News.
"Phonetically, it's still the same," he said. "I don't think he'll be changing it as often as (Sean) P. Diddy (Combs)."
Oh, well as long as he doesn't become Puffy Jermaine Diddy Jacksun, it all makes sense.
A hearing on the legal move has been set for Feb. 22 in Los Angeles.
"I support my husband," wife Halima Rashid told The News Thursday. "The sun isn't shining here in Calabasas today, but at least the name is brighter."
I'm glad I'm not eating.
After briefly going to war with the executors of Michael's will last summer, Jermaine, 57, is now on tour with brothers Tito, Marlon and Jackie and promoting his book about the King of Pop, "You Are Not Alone."

Blues Re-Sign Patrik Berglund
AUDIO: Doug Armstrong's Media Conference Call Discussing Re-Signing Berglund
The Blues and Patrik Berglund have agreed to a new one-year contract.
Berglund, 25, dressed in all 48 games this past season, tying for fourth on the club with 25 points. He finished second in goals with 17 and was tied for the team-lead with three game-winning goals. He also led the team with two shorthanded goals.
In addition, Berglund led the NHL overall in shooting percentage with a 23 percent success rate. In the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Berglund tied for fourth on the club with two points (one goal, one assist) in six appearances.
Since entering the NHL in 2008, Berglund ranks ninth among all Swedish-born players with 188 points and ranks eighth with 92 goals.
Overall, the 6-foot-3, 217-pound forward has appeared in five NHL seasons, accumulating 188 points (92 goals and 96 assists) to go along with 100 penalty minutes in 358 career regular season games. In 19 career playoff games, Berglund has four goals and five assists.
The Vesteras, Sweden native was originally drafted by the Blues in the first round (25th overall) of the 2006 NHL Draft.

STANFORD -- Amber Orrange sat stoically in the Stanford locker room this week shortly after her team defeated North Carolina to reach the women's Final Four in Nashville, Tenn.
Around her, music blared and teammates' celebratory squeals reverberated off the walls. Orrange stared silently off into space despite having a major role in the festive outcome with 14 points and four assists.
Orrange might not be the Voice of Stanford basketball, but the Cardinal (33-3) will rely on her Sunday when facing top-ranked and undefeated Connecticut in the national semifinals at Bridgestone Arena.
Although Stanford's success goes through All-American forward Chiney Ogwumike, the Cardinal will need another supreme effort from its left-handed point guard to have any chance against the talent-laden Huskies (38-0).
Orrange has been silent but deadly accurate during the NCAA tournament, averaging 12.3 points a game while shooting 56.8 percent to become Stanford's secondary threat.
'The better the competition, the better she plays," Cardinal coach Tara VanDerveer said.
"She's not the type that jumps off the television screen at you," Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb added. "Amber is deceptively athletic. She just makes the right play."
The soft-spoken guard has been overlooked this season partially because she hasn't turned the court into a personal chat room.
Orrange never saw the need to converse while wearing her Converses. But VanDerveer has demanded Orrange become more vocal.
Assistant Kate Paye watched game videos with Orrange to point out where she could improve her body language. The guard used to slouch her shoulders when it wasn't going Stanford's way. She wouldn't greet teammates enthusiastically during breaks.
"When you see it with your own eyes it gets to you," Orrange said.
She has had to improve her carriage this season despite being joined by personable freshman guard Lili Thompson, who never met a crowd she didn't like. Thompson is the yin to Orrange's backcourt yang.
But in the name of Stanford's success, coaches laid down a Cardinal rule this season: "Every time we huddle I have to make sure I say something," Orrange said.
It might make her uncomfortable, but the 5-foot-7 guard from Houston is showing an assertive side. During a tense regional final Tuesday night, senior leader Mikaela Ruef called a play.
"No, we're not going to run that," Orrange replied.
"What do you want?" the fifth-year forward asked.
"Right triangle," Orrange said.
Ruef: "She was really decisive. She was taking control."
Stanford needs Orrange in complete control Sunday against a team going for a record ninth NCAA titles. Most observers give Stanford little chance after losing by 19 points at Connecticut on Nov. 11.
But Orrange is better equipped for her second Final Four appearance. She made only one of nine shots for three points as a frightened freshman in 2012 when Stanford fell to Brittney Griner and Baylor 59-47.
"I was like wide-eyed, didn't know what was happening and overwhelmed," Orrange said.
Now she is just excited.
Orrange had a career-high 22 points against the Huskies in Stanford's second game of the season. But keeping turnovers to a minimum might be a decisive factor against Connecticut's formidable backcourt of Bria Hartley and Moriah Jefferson.
Orrange obsesses over turnovers almost as much as VanDerveer, who is known for pulling players for losing the ball.
The two-time All-Pac-12 guard plays each mistake in her head like a video replay although she led the conference in assists-to-turnover ratio at 3.11 per game.
"Each one I would figure out what I did wrong," Orrange said.
But the daughter of 1996 Olympic triple jumper Elexa Orrange tries not to let it show any more.
The guard looked calm when after North Carolina jumped to a 22-9 early lead. Orrange then helped orchestrate a 7-0 run that regained momentum and eventually led to a trip to Music City.
"My coaches call it flipping the switch," Orrange said.
Just don't expect a lot of noise when the light goes green.

The other day I was checking my mail box and it jammed packed of mail. Once I got the mail free from the tiny little mail box and sorted I discovered that there was an assortment of credit card offers, catalogs, a magazine offer and one piece of �real� mail � the water bill.
There are plenty of reasons I keep receiving direct mail for credit card offers, magazine deals, or random catalogs. Maybe it was that couch I bought a few month ago or that online purchase for Christmas. Companies want to reach people who are most likely to be interested in what they have to offer. That's why they rent or buy relevant mailing lists to help them find prospective customers�instead of just sending mail at random. But there�s a way to limit or stop the type of junk mail you get in your mailbox.
DMAchoice allows you to cut back on certain types that you're not interested in. DMAchoice divides direct mail into four categories:
- Credit Offers
- Catalogs
- Magazine Offers (this includes subscription offers, newsletters, periodicals and other promotional mailings)
- Other Mail Offers (this includes donation requests, bank offers, retail promotions and more)
For each of these categories, you can choose whether or not you want to receive mail from companies one at a time. Or, if you prefer, you can choose to stop receiving mail for all companies you haven't purchased from or donated to within an entire category. Any choices you make will be effective for five years from the date you make them.
Start the Process
DMAchoice also offers other do not contact services.

The Vail Film Festival turned 10 this year, and as a pre-birthday present it received a baby sister. Sean and Scott Cross, co-founders and co-directors of the Vail festival, helped create the inaugural Baja International Film Festival, which took place Nov. 14-17, 2012. And while the Mexican festival can be seen as a coastal counterpart to Vail's mountain event, the Baja bash hit the scene with its own personality intact. Despite the natural symbiosis between the two, both are distinctive events.
"There seems to be a strong connection between Vail and Mexico, and Cabo in particular," Sean Cross explained. "We met quite a few attendees from Colorado who divide their time between Vail and Cabo, or travel to Cabo once or twice a year on their vacations. I think Vail locals who have experienced Cabo often go back, and many people from Cabo love to come to Vail. It's the perfect combination of snow and beach."
Just as in Vail, the Baja event had a mix of screenings, parties and concerts. And also similar to Vail, the setting was a siren song for attendees, who often were lured out of the screening rooms and into the ocean. Snorkeling, boating, beachcombing, pool-lounging and other water-based activities were the norm - sometimes with a drink in hand. Most of the hotels in the area are all-inclusive, so spending a day pool-side is relaxing and affordable.
"People loved the international atmosphere and ability to meet filmmakers and film fans from South America, the U.S. and beyond, in an unparalleled beach setting," Cross said. "Many of the attendees who'd never been to Cabo were surprised at the natural beauty, and the contrast of the desert and beach. For the festival itself, people raved about the quality and diversity of the films, and the nightly parties and amazing settings, as well as the large variety of gourmet food."
The party component
Though there were many celebrities and industry movers and shakers at the festival, one of the biggest stars was the area itself. Instead of having the events sequestered at one or two base lodges/centers, there were activities and parties at a variety of carefully chosen spots. It gave a good overview of Puerto Los Cabos.
Most films were shown at the new convention center, which was built for the 2012 G-20 Mexico summit. Located on a hillside above the town, a wall of windows runs the length of the space, which includes ocean views and "living walls" thick with plants. The closing-night awards dinner was also held at the convention center, and drew the likes of Ed Norton, Matt Dillon, Gael Garcia Bernal and Virginia Madsen and other celebrities.
Several films were shown in Puerto Los Cabos' zocolo, or town square, on a large outdoor screen, for free. Locals filled the seating area and stood in the back, engaged in the film while eating typical food-cart snacks such as fried plantains and piping hot churros. Another outdoor screening, coupled with a filmmaker reception, took place a mile or so away at the Wirikuta Cactus Garden. People were buzzing about the party all weekend.
"Festival guests found themselves in one of the world's largest cactus gardens," said Sean Cross. "The garden was lit throughout, and over 1,000 people gathered to watch a movie on a large outdoor screen, then walked through to an open area with food and drink offered by more than 20 of Cabo's top restaurants."
Another highlight on the party scene was the Art Walk and Cocktail Party, followed by a Hotel Cafe concert that will sound familiar to Vail festival-goers. Afer sunset, people walked a path that wound down a hillside, marked by sculptures and other works of art. At the bottom was the marina, with several yachts at dock in the Sea of Cortez, and a large grassy area replete with booths from several restaurants. People mingled with food and cocktails, or reclined on the many couches studding the lawn. Sara Bareilles, Cary Brothers and other musicians performed.
Knowing Cabo's reputation as a late-night party town, it's no surprise that the parties were an important component. But it was, after all, a film festival. And though an international fest, it really showcased Mexico's filmmaking scene.
"The Mexican film landscape is very different from that in the U.S.," said Sean Cross. "Filmmakers in Mexico are strongly supported by the government and don't rely as heavily on filmgoers to recoup their financing. For this reason, Mexican filmmakers can make films that are more experimental and artistic."
He cites Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna's breakthrough roles in "Y Tu Mama Tambien" as instrumental in bringing Mexico's reputation to the international stage, but it's a style of filmmaking that has been developing for a long time.

You drive up to a parking lot where you can access 5 courses (probably more like 7 since the last time I was there a couple of years ago). It's some pretty breath taking dg from certain holes/views if you're talking mid September (can't remember the dates off the top of my head that you guys are talking about) when the leaves are turning. Some holes you can see for miles around.
There are two courses (gold and granite) that you can take a golf cart on. It's $10 a day/person which is cheap imo. Ashland is about 10-15 minutes away (which is right by Superior) and has a restaurant there with some good microbrews and good food. I think they have music there as well on the weekend.
It would be too easy for me to say "come to the Twin Cities" because of course I'd be biased. Just wanted to make an arguement as to why a 7 hour drive would be well worth it. You're not going to find an area in any state right now where you can access 6-7 courses from one parking lot. (Maybe Houcks new place but I couldn't tell ya)

New strip mall to coming to Houma
Published: Friday, November 9, 2012 at 10:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 9, 2012 at 10:24 p.m.
A new strip mall in Houma will open for shoppers early next year.
Construction has begun on a 35,000- to 45,000-square-foot building on Martin Luther King Boulevard near The Landing on Bayou Cane Apartments, according to the LaRussa Real Estate Agency
Dee Landry, the agent handling the project, said the owner plans to dedicate one half of the mall to a national retail store and rent out the other half to retail and restaurant businesses.
"It's going to be a first-class development, a lot of green space, a lot of parking. It's going to live up to all the rest of the outlets on MLK," said S.P. Larussa, agency owner.

2013 Brought New Tax for Some Real-Estate Investors
While wealthy Americans were on pins and needles this week waiting to hear about tax hikes in the fiscal cliff deal, some real-estate investors already had their checkbooks open for Uncle Sam.
Scores of people who receive rental income from properties such as apartment buildings, single-family homes and retail shops will be hit with an investment surtax of 3.8% that kicked in on Jan. 1. The so-called Medicare tax, passed as part of the Affordable Healthcare Act in 2010, won't affect real-estate companies or those who work full-time managing their real-estate portfolio.
The levy will hit high-earning professionals such as doctors, lawyers and others who have full-time jobs but dabble in real estate on the side. The tax covers all other types of investment income as well, such as dividends, capital gains and interest from banks and bonds.
"We know for certain the Medicare tax is here to stay," said Jim Guarino, a partner at MFA-Moody, Famiglietti & Andronico, LLP, an accounting firm in Tewksbury, Mass.
"I think there might have been some question if the tax would be a bargaining chip in the fiscal cliff negotiations. It was not," he said, referring to the passage of legislation Tuesday that raised the permanent top rate on Americans with incomes of either $400,000 for single filers or $450,000 for married couples.
The Medicare tax generally applies to income received from rental properties for single individuals whose net income exceeds $200,000, and $250,000 for married couples. A nuance of the code applies the tax to either a person's net investment income or the amount the adjusted gross income exceeds these thresholds, whichever is less.
Mr. Guarino said these investors in this income bracket were also fretting about paying even higher income taxes before the final tax bill passed. "Nobody likes to see their taxes go up," he said. But, "it's a little more palatable," now.

AUSTIN (January 31, 2013)--Education leaders in the Texas Senate Thursday slammed a curriculum system used in 875 school districts across the state, saying it may promote anti-American values and stifle classroom flexibility.
CSCOPE is an electronic curriculum management system that offers Web-based lesson plans and exams designed to help teachers adhere to the state educational requirements.
It is now used in more than 70 percent of Texas school districts.
It's designed to aid teachers while being flexible enough for them to alter its content to meet their individual needs, but some teachers have complained CSCOPE locks them into a rigid curriculum, and conservative activists say it promotes progressive ideology.
A string of witnesses before the Senate Education Committee raised those concerns repeatedly Thursday.

About the Book
In Bloody Crimes, James L. Swanson—the Edgar® Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of Manhunt—brings to life two epic events of the Civil War era: the thrilling chase to apprehend Confederate president Jefferson Davis in the wake of the Lincoln assassination and the momentous 20 -day funeral that took Abraham Lincoln's body home to Springfield. A true tale full of fascinating twists and turns, and lavishly illustrated with dozens of rare historical images—some never before seen—Bloody Crimes is a fascinating companion to Swanson's Manhunt and a riveting true-crime thriller that will electrify civil war buffs, general readers, and everyone in between.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
As the Yankees approached Richmond on April 2, 1865, Jefferson Davis fled the capital, setting off an intense and thrilling chase in which Union cavalry hunted the Confederate president. Two weeks later, President Lincoln was assassinated, and the nation was convinced that Davis was involved in the crime. Preparing for the largest and most magnificent funeral pageant in American history, soldiers placed Lincoln's corpse aboard a special train to Springfield, Illinois. Along the way, several million mourners watched the funeral train roll by.
The saga that began with Manhunt continues as James Swanson masterfully weaves together the stories of the two fallen leaders as they make their final journeys through the bloody landscape of a wounded nation.

Critical Praise
"Gripping — sometimes even gruesome — and heartrending.... Brilliant." — USA Today

"Striking ....Full of vigorous prose and dynamic stories about the period immediately following the end of the Civil War." — Kirkus Reviews
"Swanson's account of Lincoln's death pageant is moving, but Davis' flight lends the book enough suspense to drive a Hollywood thriller.. . Swanson knows how to keep his audience breathlessly entertained. It's Davis' surprising turn as a tragic figure in Bloody Crimes, however, that might prove most memorable." — Richmond Times-Dispatch

Iker Casillas
UNDP appointed World Cup-winning Spanish football goalkeeper Iker Casillas as a Goodwill Ambassador for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on 24 January 2011. In this role, he has been focusing on issues affecting young people in developing countries, promoting poverty reduction, education and health.
Born in 1981, Casillas is no stranger to the tremendous needs of the poor in this world, and has shown on many occasions that he can be part of the solution.
"While my job on the pitch is to prevent goals, my job at UNDP will be to help score them," said Casillas. "Bringing attention to the poor conditions people are enduring around the world is essential to motivate action on the world's pledges to improve their lives."
"UNDP works with people and their governments around the world to end poverty with solutions that will last," Casillas said. "Only with that kind of team approach can we win the battle against poverty, and I am proud to add my personal commitment to this work."
As UNDP Goodwill Ambassador, Casillas has appeared in numerous public service announcements in support of the victims of the earthquake and the tsunami in Japan and several videos on youth issues and inequalities in the Latin American region. Casillas also participated in the UNDP-supported "Lend Your Leg" campaign and promotes UNDP's major events and activities through his Facebook page.
Casillas plays for the Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and serves as captain for both the Spanish national team and Real Madrid. As captain of the national side, he led a young Spanish team to their first European Championship in 44 years, his first senior international honour. In 2010, he led Spain to their first ever FIFA World Cup and won the Golden Glove for the tournament's best goalkeeper. He won the European Championship with Spain again in 2012, making it the only national side in history to win back-to-back European Championships and a World Cup in between.

Crayon Maker and Sharpener by CodeCreations
I've wanted to make a MakerBotted crayon mold for about as long as I've owned a 3D printer. Now this is a reality thanks to Thingiverse citizen CodeCreations. CodeCreations1 has shared his STL's, OpenSCAD source code, and detailed directions for making crayon molds.
CodeCreations' method involves using a printed container into which plaster of Paris is poured. When the plastic is removed, it leaves a plaster mold with triangular crayon "troughs." Then it's a matter of melting crayons, pouring the wax into the mold, and waiting for them to cool.
Error - could not find Thing 34274.

Sorry to be a party pooper.
Melting crayons with a open propane torch in front of kids
could be a recipe for heartbreak.
A double boiler is the prefered method of melting
wax (or crayons) as it limits the temperature to well below
the flashpoint of wax.
I thnk the Idea of recycling the crayons is a good idea itself.
CodeCreationsJanuary 21, 2013 at 11:55 am
Wow — I completely missed this when it was posted.
Perry, responsible supervision is critical, of course, and every kid is different. If the kids don't understand and respect the tool they're using, then teach them, and protect them from making serious mistakes. I agree that a double boiler would be better for melting the wax.

MacMurray Women Drop 67-40 Contest at Millikin University
December 19, 2013
The MacMurray College women's basketball team saw its record dip to 0-8 Thursday night after a 67-40 loss at Millikin University. The Highlanders started slow against the Big Blue and trailed 35-13 after the first half. Cold shooting and eighteen first-half turnovers were the major factors in MacMurray's 22-point half-time deficit.
Coach Derek James' club rallied in the second half and cut Millikin's lead to thirteen points (47-34) midway through the half. Cydny Saxer, who led the Highlanders with ten points, made the score 54-40 with just under four minutes left. Unfortunately, Saxer's basket was the last scoring for Highlanders and Millikin (4-4) went on a 13-0 run to close out the game and the home-court win.
Brittany Czaplicki paced the Big Blue with a game-high fifteen points, Bria Williams added ten points and a game-high seven rebounds, and Jasmine Johnson blocked six shots.
Emily Elliot, Carley Prince and Shay Potter each chipped in with six points for the Highlanders.
MacMurray College will return to action on January 7, when they travel to Westminster College to begin the 2014 portion of their schedule with a SLIAC contest.
