Many singer/songwriters these days take the easy route when it comes time for a name and use their own, whether they have a backing band or not. Just look at the Underground Sound series lineup: Gregory Alan Isakov, Leon Redbone, William Fitzsimmons, Paula Cole, Jaimee Paul.
But not Danielle Anderson. She didn't want to be "just another singer/songwriter," she said. That's fitting, because she's not your typical girl with a guitar set up, either - this folk musician plays the ukulelee. She wanted a name that would get people's attention. And thus Danielle Ate the Sandwich was born.
And really, who doesn't love sandwiches?
"I wanted an attention-getting detail," Anderson said. "And back then, when I came up with the name, I figured I could put a sandwich on a sticker."
Anderson remembers coming up with Danielle Ate the Sandwich and thinking, "No, that's way to weird, my mom would be so confused by that."
"But I kept coming back to it," she said. "And like with a lot of ideas, the first is always the best, so I came back to the first weird idea I had."
So the question remains: What sandwich does Danielle prefer?
Since the 26-year-old recently became a vegetarian, there aren't as many options, but grilled cheese or peanut butter and jelly are her usual suspects.
'Moved for love'
Up until a few months ago, Anderson was based out of Fort Collins, where she lived for six years following college. She built a fan base slowly, and worldwide, by posting intimate, charming performances on YouTube and made some extra cash doing alterations for a clothing store in the mall on the side.
In the past three years, she has built enough momentum touring and writing music to support herself.
"I feel restless when I'm not on tour," she said. "It feels comfortable to me, to get in my car and know I have to drive at least five hours."
What started as a hobby of self-expression has evolved into a fully realized artistic outlet.
A few months ago, Anderson relocated to Minneapolis, where her boyfriend lives.
"I moved for love," she said.
"As good as Colorado's been to me, I lived there since I graduated college," she said. "I always wondered what else was out in the world. ... I feel like I had mastered the Denver scene.
"I had good connections and was established. It's exciting to move to a new place and be the underdog. Being unexpectedly delightful, that's how I hope to be, and work up to something similar to what I had in Denver."
And besides, she's still playing plenty of gigs in the Denver-Fort Collins-Boulder triangle, and in places beyond. She plans to return to Colorado at least once a month or so. Her show at the Vilar Center on Sunday night marks the first time Anderson has performed in Eagle County, she said, and she's excited to get her music out to a new market, and play for some new faces.
"I'm excited to be up there and get to play an awesome show in an awesome place, and they're treating me like a movie star," she said. "I'm very excited because I expect people to be very rich, so hopefully they'll buy thousands of CDs."
'Songs about wondering'
Speaking of CDs, Anderson recently released her fourth album "Like a King." She raised the funds for the record using Kickstarter. She set out to raise $6,000 and her friends and fans gave her $16,236 instead.
"I had more than 250 pre orders of this CD, not including over 400 people who pitched in the money, so that helped me get the word out, and get the buzz and excitement started," she said.
The album itself is pretty heavy, the songs rife with unsettling themes.
"A lot of my songs are about wondering, being unsure of everything, which can be very dark," she said.
Her 2010 album "Two Bedroom Apartment," had similar themes, but was recorded "a little lighter," she said. "This one is very deep, heavy and dark. I kind of like that as a female singer songwriter who is silly and colorful, to release a product that slaps people in the face. I struggle to get people to listen to what I'm saying in my songs. A lot of people think I'm a comedic singer, so for me it was kind of exciting to release something really heavy, really dark, so people couldn't say 'these are cute songs.'"
During Anderson's live shows - she'll perform as a trio on Sunday night - she tries to strike a balance.
"It's a mix of these melancholy and bittersweet songs that make you think and bring you to your knees, but in between I try to be lighthearted and silly, so that no one gets driven too far in one direction," she said. "When effectively done, it's pretty appealing."

A sea vegetable closely related to wakame is alaria (Alaria esculenta); it is common to Atlantic waters. Black or dark green in color, alaria is similar to wakame in appearance, taste, and nutrition, but needs a longer cooking time than wakame. Alaria is good in stews and grain dishes. It can also be used in miso soup instead of the traditional wakame.

I love the Olympics. It's the second-most wonderful time on my calendar, just above Christmas and just below the end of the summer tourist season in Washington.
I have no love for the International Olympic Committee and spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out a way to separate it from the Olympics. Sadly, there is none. We are stuck with the IOC as the English are stuck with the monarchy - except IOC members make the royal family look like the cast of Duck Dynasty. Heck, some IOC members are royalty.
The IOC does not like America as an entity. It likes what Americans do for TV ratings and ticket and merchandise sales and corporate sponsors - and it loves the $4.38 billion NBC is paying for the next four Olympics. In other words, it loves us for our money.
Yet despite paying much of the freight and providing such money-makers as the U.S. men's basketball team, the women's gymnastics team, and a host of track and field stars - for the love of Mike, we gave them Michael Phelps! - the IOC really doesn't care what America or Americans want.
There hasn't been an American on the IOC executive board, where the power and the clout is, since 2001. So it has been easy for those hoity-toity stuffed shirts to kill baseball and softball - as a package deal, no less - and to add wrestling to the list earlier this week.
The IOC is quick to assure us that wrestling isn't dead yet. Wrestling will be included in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro and can get itself added to the 2020 program.
Wrestling was an original Olympic sport, and I don't mean one created by or allowed in by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, whose playbook the IOC tries to follow despite the fact that among those he didn't want in the Olympics were women. It's possible that de Coubertin's ideas are now a little dated.
Yet his creation, the modern pentathlon, avoided the axe while the ancient sport of wrestling is out. I'm sure it's a coincidence that Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr., son of a former IOC president, is a vice president of the International Modern Pentathlon Union and a member of the IOC board. This is a conflict of interest typical for the IOC.
But let me stop right there. This is what the IOC wants: sports turning on sports. I happen to love modern pentathlon and would hate to see it eliminated. Why? Because when the heck would we see modern pentathlon except every four years? Do we want an Olympic Games that includes only sports we can watch every day? Then let the alphabet soup organizations - the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, FINA, the PGA (yes, golf is on the 2016 docket) - take over and have done with it.
I love the Olympics for the staples - the track, the skiing and even, yes, the figure skating - but I love them more for the Nordic combined, the modern pentathlon, the biathlon. Is it so bad, for two weeks every two years, to read about athletes we know nothing about? I don't think so.
The United States isn't dominant in Olympic wrestling, but it is a player. (The Russians must be going nuts, with 77 medals on their collective chests.) And here's the thing: For high school wrestlers, college scholarships can be a goal. For college wrestlers, the Olympics can be a goal. The Olympics are the pinnacle of the sport, and the one chance for many to be exposed to wrestling, even if it's only once every four years.
Participation numbers in wrestling in this country are increasing, and I would expect that trend to continue. For parents worried about the dangers of football, it is an attractive alternative. It's also a co-ed sport now, right up to the Olympic level. (Take that, Baron!)
Wrestling needs to stay because it's an original sport - the Greeks did it in the ancient games. Wrestling needs to stay because it remains a low-cost sport compared to many - you need a mat and headgear. Singlets optional: The ancient Greeks did it naked. Wrestling needs to stay because the Olympic stamp gives it the cachet to keep it alive at the lower levels of competition. Wrestling needs to stay because it's a far easier sport for anyone to practice than many, including modern pentathlon, which requires an epee, a gun, a swimsuit, some jogging shorts - and a horse. (Again, I love the modern pentathlon - but I admit it's not for everyone.)
In the coming months, wrestling's international and national federations surely will mount a campaign to keep the sport, but they face an uphill battle since they are now on the outside looking in. Dealing with the elite but often corrupt IOC can be rough going. I suggest going not to the mats, but to the mattresses.

What to Watch for From the Fed
By Victoria McGrane and Jon Hilsenrath
The Federal Reserve concludes its two-day policy meeting Wednesday, and while no policy changes are expected, officials are likely to debate what to do next and when to do it. The official Fed statement, to be released at 2 p.m. EDT, may contain elements that bear close watching:
1) No taper or other substantive changes in policy. After their decision to stand pat on the Fed's $85 billion-per-month bond-buying program at the September policy meeting, officials have no good reason to change course this time around. The government shutdown and brinkmanship over the nation's borrowing limit injected new uncertainty into the economy, hurt confidence and muddied the incoming data for the next few months. The September jobs report, the latest the Fed saw before this meeting, showed mediocre payroll employment growth.
2) An eye on future tapering? The September policy statement contained several signals that Fed officials were inclined to scale back the bond-buying program once they get confirmation the economy is picking up. For instance the Fed said it saw "underlying strength" in the economy but "decided to await more evidence" that progress would be sustained before changing the program. It also said a decision to moderate the pace of purchases "at its coming meetings" would depend on how the economy evolves. Watch whether the Fed keeps language suggesting it is inclined to pull back against the new, post-shutdown backdrop.
3) Will the Fed downgrade its assessment of the economy? How the Fed describes its assessment of the economy could provide hints on its expected taper timeline. In September, the Fed described the pace of economic growth as "moderate," which was an ever-so-slight upgrade from the previous meeting's "modest." The Fed also said the job market had "shown further improvement" and "the housing sector has been strengthening." Since then, more evidence has amassed that job growth and the housing sector have slowed and that overall economic growth hasn't accelerated as the Fed projected a few months ago. Meantime, the 16-day government shutdown took a big toll on household confidence. Many economists believe the shutdown pinched fourth-quarter growth. Given all of that, it is hard to see how the Fed emerges from the meeting with a very upbeat assessment of current economic conditions.
4) Look out for that "downside risks" phrase. In June, the Fed added language to the statement saying it saw the "downside risks to the outlook for the economy and the labor market as having diminished" since the previous fall. With another round of budget and debt-ceiling squabbling coming in the months ahead, might the Fed restate that language? The Fed also added a second half to that sentence in September, raising concerns that "the tightening of financial conditions observed in recent months, if sustained, could slow the pace of improvement" in the economy. Since then, stock prices have risen and borrowing rates have come back down, meaning financial conditions have eased a bit. So that line, too, might require some attention from the Fed's wordsmiths.
Taken all together, circumstances have changed quite a bit since September and the statement will need to evolve, too. But the Fed appears to be in a wait-and-see mode on policy.

Question: Are the heights and locations of 2 AcDbText entities supposed to be coupled? QCAD doesn't think so but a 3rd. party vendor says otherwise. How can I decouple them??
Another way to ask this question is this: In addition to the text group code 40, what other parameter (code, table, dictionary, whatever) affects the location and size of TEXT?
See attachment: the height of the word "Alpha" is supposed to remain constant while the word "Beta" is supposed to increase and decrease.
Congrats to QCAD (which I just discovered) for doing a great job.
Boos to the 3rd. party for doing such a lousy job.
"This looks like a job for dxflib!"

The burial site of a community's namesake or founder is often marked by a well-cared-for headstone, a commemorative plaque or even a statue.
However, sometimes the final resting places of these famous figures become lost to history.
Until recently, that was the case for Lt. Joseph Frye, an early settler of the Waterford area, whose legacy is an integral part of the settlement's survival.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Lower Muskingum Historical Society researcher Phillip Crane shows the spot where he believes Lt. Joseph Frye was buried. Crane found reference to Frye's grave in a 1938 letter and early 19th century deeds verify the existence of a cemetery in the area now encircled by Mill Street, Jukebox Pizza, the Muskingum River and the Harold Tuner Produce Warehouse, visible in the background.
"That happened a lot. Back in the early 1800's, years before embalming, you buried people on your property. You probably put up a wooden marker," said local historian and author Louise Zimmer.
But those early markers did not last long, and it would not be unusual for the property to change hands and for later owners to not even know that anyone was buried there, she said.
That was likely what happened with Frye, for whom there is no death or burial record in the Washington County Courthouse, said Zimmer.
Fact Box
About Lt. Joseph Frye
Born in 1765; died in 1814.
Born in Andover, Mass., Frye was a Harvard University graduate.
Frye was a member of the Second Association, a group tasked by the Ohio Company with settling what is now Waterford.
He advocated for building a defensive fort in the community which settlers did not agree to until after a nearby massacre at the hand of Native Americans.
Because Frye had the foresight to draw up plans for a fort, the grateful community named it for him.
Frye's burial site was unknown until recently when local researcher Phillip Crane found a 1938 letter referencing Frye's resting place.
Frye is believed to have been buried in a downtown Waterford cemetery.
"We have been looking for (Frye's burial site) for quite some time now," said Phillip Crane, researcher for the Lower Muskingum Historical Society.
Crane began writing an extensive history of Frye and his legacy for the historical society's quarterly publication, "Reflections," in early 2010.
Born in 1765 in Andover, Mass., Frye came to Waterford around 1789 as part of the Second Association, a group of 39 men tasked by the Ohio Company with securing more land in the vast Northwest Territory, said Crane.
"He's the namesake of Fort Frye, but people wonder why it was named after him since he wasn't the commander there," said Crane.
Soon after settling in the area in late 1789, Frye, a Harvard University graduate, began advocating for the construction of a defensive fort to protect the new residents against attacks from Native Americans, said Crane. But residents resisted the idea, citing "The Treaty of Fort Harmar," which was signed earlier that year, he said.
"He drew up some plans for a fort anyway," said Crane.
And when a massacre of the settlers in nearby Big Bottom took place in early 1791, Frye's foresight paid off and a fort was able to be quickly erected based on his unique three-sided design, said Crane.
Frye went on to do many well-documented things, such as teach, collect taxes, and serve on juries in nearby Marietta. However, his death and burial had always remained somewhat of a mystery, said Crane.
"We have always heard stories of an old, abandoned cemetery in downtown Waterford," he said.
Local legends pointed to a plot of land behind the building that now houses Jukebox Pizza.
Existence of the cemetery itself has been well documented, said Crane.
For her 1997 book "Then and Now," the late local historian Winnie Johnson researched the cemetery through various early 19th century deeds. She found references to a thirty-foot square burial plot reserved inside a specific plot of land, the boundaries of which are still visible on a modern tax map.
Johnson also noted that the old cemetery was furthered evidenced by the spring Easter lilies that bloomed on that specific plot of land, which was nestled between what is now Mill Street and a set of railroad tracks, said Crane.
Though the area is now overtaken by trees, brush, and debris, the lilies do still bloom there, he said.
Since Frye, and other notable early settlers, such as Maj. Asa Coburn, were not buried with other contemporaries in the nearby Waterford Cemetery, the abandoned plot behind Jukebox Pizza seemed like a definite possibility. But with no remaining headstones, no one could tell.
That is at least, until Crane dug up a letter, written to The McConnelsville Herald in 1938, which connected Frye to the fabled cemetery.
"Someone had written to the Herald asking where Fort Frye had been built. And a judge here wrote back saying he didn't know where the fort had been, but knew where Frye had been buried," said Crane.
In the late 1800's, the letter writer, Judge William H. Leeper, had co-owned Smiley and Leeper, where Jukebox Pizza sits today.
In the letter, Leeper recalled seeing around eight to 10 stones there, but could remember only two names, those of Frye and Coburn.
"A lot of people wonder why they wouldn't have just buried them up in Waterford Cemetery," said Crane.
Waterford Cemetery had already been founded by 1814, the year Frye died.
Explained Crane, it is likely Frye was buried there because the land for the cemetery had been donated by Frye's friend, Dean Tyler, and was located near Tyler's blockhouse.
It is hard to say what became of the cemetery.
Through 1828, the "public burying ground" was referenced in deeds, but when the property changed hands again in 1831, no reference to the cemetery was made, said Crane.
Zimmer said people often stopped caring for burial plots because new owners would rather use the space for a barn or a garden.
In Leeper's letter, he recalls seeing neglected graves and toppled sandstone markers the year he bought the store, which he listed as 1874. However, deeds show that Leeper bought the store in 1881, and it is likely that he simply got the year wrong, said Crane.
Regardless, it is likely that Leeper's recollection of the physical graves is one of the last. And only now, nearly 200 years after his death, has the location of Frye's final resting place become known once again.

LOS ANGELES -- The Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers entered their mid-September series separated by 19½ games in the standings, but that did nothing to diminish the intensity Thursday night.
On a night when more than 53,000 showed up to Dodger Stadium, the home team took a 3-2 walk-off win in the 10th inning. Adrian Gonzalez's single brought Carl Crawford racing home and added another layer to one of the most heated rivalries in sports, securing a win for Brian Wilson in his first appearance against the organization that drafted him.
Afterward, Gonzalez was asked if it would mean a little extra to the Dodgers if they could clinch the National League West this weekend with the Giants in town.
"Absolutely!" he said, smiling wide.
Wilson had nothing to say, blowing off reporters before and after the game. In the visiting clubhouse, Wilson's former teammates said it wasn't weird to see the right-hander in Dodger blue, even if his hair is stranger than ever.
"Once the at-bat started, it felt like a normal at-bat," said Buster Posey, who flew out to right in a 10th inning matchup with the man he used to catch. "It was fun. You look forward to challenges against good pitchers and he's one of them. Just looking at his velocity on his cutter and fastball, it was pretty close to where it always is."
You can say the same for the rivalry, even if the Giants and Dodgers are headed for drastically different Octobers. With Dodger Stadium shaking, the Giants got off to a quick start.
Red-hot right-fielder Hunter Pence hit a solo homer just inside the right field foul pole in the second inning. The homer was Pence's 21st of the season, putting him within striking distance of his career-high of 25.
The Giants entered the night riding a franchise record 13-game errorless streak, but they kicked the ball around in the bottom of the second inning while giving up a run. Andre Ethier reached on an infield single off third baseman Pablo Sandoval's glove but was thrown out at second when Marco Scutaro dropped Juan Uribe's pop-up to shallow right field. A.J. Ellis followed with a grounder back to the mound, but Matt Cain's throw sailed into center field, allowing Uribe to advance to third. The former Giant scored on a grounder to second.
"We've played so well," manager Bruce Bochy said. "In that one inning, we just had trouble catching the ball. We had been really doing a nice job defensively, and that's what I've been pleased with."
Cain and Zack Greinke matched zeros into the late innings, but the Dodgers grabbed the lead in the seventh. With a runner on third and two outs, rookie Yasiel Puig jumped on a first pitch fastball and lined it into the left-center field gap for a double.
"I threw the ball right where I wanted to throw it: inside," Cain said. "He put a good swing on it."
The Giants bounced right back. Angel Pagan led off the eighth with a single and promptly stole second. After a walk of Scutaro and a sacrifice bunt by Brandon Belt, the Dodgers intentionally walked Posey to load the bases. Pence chopped Ronald Belisario's first pitch to third, and Uribe stepped on the bag before throwing to first to complete an inning-ending double play.
Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen had converted 18 straight save opportunities, but the Giants got going right away in the ninth when Sandoval hit a leadoff single. Pinch-runner Juan Perez stole second and took third on a passed ball before scoring on Gregor Blanco's single to center.
Wilson came on for the 10th, walking Belt with one out before retiring Posey and Pence.
"He got us out, you know?" Bochy said. "He did his job. He did a good job for us, and I appreciate what Brian did for us. We were doing all we could to score off of him."
Jeremy Affeldt helped get the ball to Wilson throughout the 2010 title run. On Thursday, he came out of the bullpen after Wilson's shutout inning. Affeldt came off the disabled list Thursday and was making his first appearance since July 20, when he suffered a groin injury. He gave up a leadoff single to Crawford, who took second on a bunt. Gonzalez ended the long night with a shot up the middle.
"Jeremy was ready to go," Bochy said. "They threw out some pretty good at-bats. You've got to give them credit."

The first thing I noticed was how it looks like a slimline magnet. I got about 30 putts in with them and about 20 drives as well. As a putter, it is very nice. Very straight within the circle. From outside the circle it was fairly straight too. I got out to around 40 ft. before I started to get any fade on my putts.
As a driver, it flies on whatever line you put it on. Release it with a touch of hyzer, and it flies a nice gentle gliding hyzer. Release it flat and it flies straight and finishes straight(Very little fade on the end). I threw it with anny a few times and it had a nice floaty flight. It never attempted to come out of the anny.
All in all, a pretty nice disc from the Rico brothers.

Wingels and Jones 'brothers' by way of Miami University
Sharks pivot and Oilers winger played together at Miami University in 2007-08
Wednesday, 03.20.2013 / 3:30 PM MT / News
By Ryan Dittrick - edmontonoilers.com
|Tommy Wingels and Ryan Jones played together at Miami University (of Ohio) in 2007-08.
EDMONTON - As far as San Jose Sharks forward Tommy Wingels was concerned several seasons ago, a former teammate with the Miami University RedHawks was a lock to make it big.
"There are certain guys who have an impact every night," he said. "Ryan Jones was that guy."
Jones, 23 at the time, was the captain and leading scorer of the RedHawks during the 2007-08 campaign. In addition to putting up 31 goals, 49 points in only 42 games, Jones was a mentor who embodied the program's sacred slogan, 'The Brotherhood.'
"There's such a big focus on coming together and growing up as individuals," said Wingels, who was making his Central Collegiate Hockey Association (NCAA) debut that season. "Ryan was vocal when he needed to be but, more often than not, he was a guy that led by example. Just look at how hard he goes in practice and in games -- he really sets the tone, day-in and day-out.
"Still, if something needed to be said, he'd say it. He was all the qualities you want in a leader. Best of all, he has the ability to do them all at once. I can honestly say that he helped steer my career in the right direction and was a huge help in getting me to this point.
"He's a 'brother' of mine, no question."
In 265 career NHL games, Jones has collected 50 goals and 88 points. Most importantly, he's developed a well-rounded role as a physical menace that contributes equally, if not more, on special teams.
None of it is surprising to Wingels.
"It doesn't matter if he was scoring or not," he said. "Regardless of the situation, whatever was needed at any point in the season, he'd bring it. You always knew what you were going to get with Jonesy. As soon as the puck was dropped he'd be banging bodies, forechecking hard and grinding the other team down.
"That's something a lot of guys looked up to him for. There was no question about it. Everyone knew he was the leader of that team.
"Ryan and I spent some together this summer back in Miami, which was a blast. We love going back there and we both credit the program for doing so much in our careers and getting us both to the NHL."
Jones' collegiate career came to an end after the 2007-08 season; he went on to pursue his dream with the Nashville Predators That summer, Wingels was drafted in the sixth round (177th overall) by the Sharks and went on to play an another two seasons in Miami, capturing the CCHA's Best Defensive Forward award in 2009-10.
"It was an unbelievable experience," said Wingels. "The program they have there is exceptional in terms of producing guys at the next level (some notable graduates include: Brian Savage, Alec Martinez and Wingels' Sharks teammate, Dan Boyle), as well as getting a good college experience. Truthfully, it was the best three years of my life so far. I built lasting relationships with some great people, I learned how to grow as an individual and was given a path to a career in the NHL.
"I couldn't ask for anything more."
Wingels is now in his first full NHL season after splitting time with the Sharks and the club's AHL affiliate in Worcester since 2010. In 22 games this year, the 24-year-old has picked up a goal and six points.
As if the ultra-tight Western Conference playoff race wasn't enough, bragging rights are also on the line Wednesday night as brothers become enemies.
For one night, at least.
"It's fun seeing familiar faces. I want to show him how much I've learned," laughed Wingels. "I try to follow Ryan's progress as much as possible to see how he and the Oilers are doing. It's going to be a lot of fun. We're going to have a good, healthy battle out there."

"I was inspired by the close up baby face in the example. The card truly reflected the meaning of our first baby's baptism ❤"
"This card is beautiful on the stock card stock! I usually use the pearlescent papers, but didn't want the added cost this time around. So happy I left this design alone!"
"I loved the fact that I could customize the text to what I wanted to say, not be obligated to use the text provided. It was extremely easy to do. Overall, I was very happy with the invites I created and was even more happy when I recieved them in 2 days like they said I would."
"I loved the detail in the border and I really liked being able to design my own edging style. There are so many fonts to choose from. The quality of the paper is great."

The California Lottery paid cash-strapped Californians $2.56 billion in prize money last year, and gave the state's impoverished public school system another $1.32 billion. But when push came to shove, where was the love? According to the Lottery's own research, only 40 percent of Californians reported feeling positive about it: notto lotto.
No wonder the buccaneering bureaucrats at the California Lottery Commission unanimously approved adding Powerball -- the game with six of the 10 biggest U.S. jackpots on record -- to its lineup starting Monday. While the Golden State has been wrapping its caviar dreams in the $1 tickets -- and often puny payouts -- of SuperLotto Plus and Mega Millions, Powerball has been a nationwide sensation, a $2 ticket to ride in a jackpot that starts at $40 million, and climbs $10 million after every drawing that doesn't produce a winner.
But the introduction of Powerball -- which requires players to pick five numbers between 1 and 59, then a Powerball number from 1 to 35 -- represents more than just a new way for Californians to fritter away their hard-earned cash. The lottery commission is spending $8.4 million on a re-branding effort that not so subtly equates playing Powerball with man's first walk on the moon, women's suffrage and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
It began a few weeks ago with billboards scattered across the state that said only BELIEVE. Those will be followed by a second, slightly more explicit wave of ads, urging gamblers to BELIEVE IN SOMETHING BIGGER. That's probably not a bad idea considering the odds against hitting Powerball's six-number jackpot are 175,233,510 to 1.
Stimulate excitement
The campaign is the brainchild of Los Angeles adman David Angelo, who said in a statement, "The Powerball launch gives the California Lottery an opportunity to shift the brand conversation from desperation to inspiration. We're not just trying to sell Powerball tickets, we're trying to inspire a movement ..."
If the movement just sells Powerball tickets, the lottery commission -- which made its decision the day after a record Powerball drawing for $587.5 million -- probably won't mind. To raise awareness of the new game, the ad agency has been running a TV commercial -- to the tune of "California Dreaming" -- in which people moving through a slo-mo dreamscape are being pelted by a hailstorm of white ping-pong balls. After viewers are asked to "Believe in something bigger," a red ping-pong ball descends, as if from Heaven, and floats into the hand of a lucky winner. This is either the trademark red Powerball, or the beginning of the Rapture.
At Hana's Bottle Shop in Santa Clara, one of the "lucky retailers" that have sold winning tickets of $1 million or more, among the Lottery's 21,000 outlets, Jose Carranza of Sunnyvale was eagerly anticipating the day he can plunk his two dollars down on a Powerball ticket. While buying a fistful of Scratchers, Carranza acknowledged, "We've been waiting for that."
Even when there isn't a big jackpot to stimulate excitement, the store sells no less than $3,000 of Lottery tickets each day, with some customers coming from as far as San Francisco, hoping Hana's luck will rub off on them. And every time news of a huge Powerball jackpot -- now available to players in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands -- reached local players, clerk Julie Huizar said she was bombarded with demands to bring the game to California. "Everybody's been waiting for this moment," Huizar said of Monday's launch. "You'd be surprised. I've had people coming in since April 1 trying to buy Powerball tickets."
The people are ready
Lottery commissioners feared Powerball's pull would cannibalize players from its other games, but eventually relented when demand for the game increased during the run-up in last November's half-billion dollar jackpot. "People have been beating our door down for this for quite a while," said Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso. "And now they're definitely excited."
Blank Powerball forms have been kept out of sight at the state's retail lottery kiosks, but on Wednesday, one stack was accidentally put on display at a "lucky" 7-Eleven on Senter Road in San Jose. A customer filled one out and happily brought it to clerk Dziet Tran.
"I felt bad for the guy because he had a big smile on his face," Tran said. "He was all happy, and I had to break the news to him. 'Hey, there's no Powerball yet.' He got kinda upset."
Tran encouraged the man to believe in something bigger, then gave him some free jerky.

Anyway, as long as I'm going to come clean, I'll admit to you that I skipped one bread last spring because I was getting so tired of sweet breads. This cranberry walnut celebration bread was supposed to be baked right before the english muffins, but I zipped right past it and hoped no one would be the wiser. Now that I'm committed to finishing the challenge however, I've decided that in order to be able to say that I've baked every recipe in the book, I needed to go back and make this bread. Plus, what a great bread to bake the week of Thanksgiving, right?
Working with the dough was a breeze and although I still haven't developed those mad braiding skills I was hoping for, I think I did OK with this one.
As always, I skipped the walnuts because....well you all already know that I can't stand nuts in bread. And I especially dislike walnuts. So in reality, I guess you could say that this is just a cranberry celebration bread.
The dough was very easy to put together and it fermented much quicker than the book stated. In a little over an hour I had myself a bucketful of dough.
I had just a small piece of this before wrapping it up to take up north with me for the holiday. It was delicious. And I'm so glad I waited to bake this because I think I truly appreciated its sweetness now that I've been away from the sweet breads for awhile.

[The following report was submitted to the Second General Assembly (1936) by the Committee on the Constitution (Minutes, pp. 13-14), consisting of the Rev. Ned B. Stonehouse, Chairman, the Rev. J. Gresham Machen, and Elder Murray F. Thompson. At the First General Assembly (1936), the moderator, J. Gresham Machen, was named a member of all committees ex officio. He then nominated as members of the Committee on the Constitution of the Church the Rev. H. McAllister Griffiths, the Rev. Ned B. Stonehouse, and Murray F. Thompson, Esq. However, Mr. Griffiths withdrew from the church prior to the Second General Assembly. Therefore, the report was presented by Messrs. Stonehouse, Machen, and Thompson. The report was adopted by the Assembly on a vote of 57 to 20. The opposition was concerned that premillennialism would not be regarded as consistent with the Confession and Catechisms; these men soon left to form the Bible Presbyterian Church.]
The Committee on the Constitution desires to make the following report of its work and recommendations:
I. The charge to the Committee was as follows:
A. It "shall present for adoption to the General Assembly meeting in the autumn of 1936 the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms as the confession of the faith of this church. The Committee shall take as the basis of its considerations the particular form of the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms which appears in the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., 1934 edition. The Committee shall have power to recommend the elimination, from that form of the Standards of the changes made in the Year of our Lord 1903, but it shall not have power to recommend any other changes. The Committee shall also have power to recommend what relation this church shall bear to the Declaratory Statement of 1903."
B. "It shall also prepare for submission to the next General Assembly a Form of Government, Book of Discipline, and Directory for the Worship of God."
II. With respect to IA the Committee reports that it has carefully considered the changes made in the doctrinal Standards of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. in 1903, and that it is unanimous in recommending to the General Assembly the adoption of the Confession of Faith and Catechisms in the form which they possessed before these changes were made, with the following two exceptions:
A. We recommend the retention of the change which was made in Chapter XXII, Section 3, by the omission of the sentence: "Yet it is a sin to refuse an oath touching anything that is good and just, being imposed by lawful authority."
B. We recommend the retention of the change made in Chapter XXV, Section 6, in so far as it involved the elimination of the words: "but is that antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the church against Christ, and all that is called God." If this recommendation is adopted, section 6 will read as follows: "There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ; nor can the Pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof." In connection with this recommendation it may be well to point out that questions of copyright seem to make it advisable not to use certain material added in recent years.
III. The recommendation under II involves the adoption of the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms without the following changes which were made by the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. in 1903:
A. Chapters XXXIV and XXXV of the Confession of Faith with their Preamble.
B. The Declaratory Statement of 1903.
C. The Revision of Chapter XVI, Section 7. In the unrevised form the section reads:
"Works done by unregenerate men, although, for the matter of them, they may be things which God commands, and of good use both to themselves and others; yet, because they proceed not from a heart purified by faith; nor are done in a right manner, according to the Word; nor to a right end, the Glory of God; they are therefore sinful, and cannot please God, or make a man meet to receive grace from God. And yet their neglect of them is more sinful, and displeasing to God."
In recommending the elimination of the sections which are enumerated in the preceding paragraph, the Committee desires to state that it does so on the ground that these changes seriously impair the testimony of the doctrinal standards of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. to the system of doctrine which is taught in Holy Scripture.
IV. With respect to lB the Committee reports that it has been unable to complete the task which was assigned to it. It has not been able to prepare a Directory of Worship. It is not prepared to recommend for adoption a Book of Discipline, although it has prepared a preliminary draft of a considerable portion of a Book of Discipline. If the Committee should be continued it would be able to complete its work, and present a Book of Discipline and a Directory for Worship a reasonable time before the next General Assembly.
The Committee does, however, recommend the adoption of the Form of Government which is submitted herewith. Since the draft was printed, in response to suggestions made to the Committee, four changes have been made in the proposed form of Government:
1. In Chapter X, Section 1 (p. 9), the substitution of the words "consisting, as it does, of" for the words "being divided into."
2. In Chapter XI, Section 2 (p. 12), adding the clause "and two or more elders from every collegiate church in proportion to the number of its pastors." This addition will bring this section into harmony with Chapter X, Section 3.
3. In Chapter XVIII (p. 31, line 8), adding the following after the words "The parties appointed"; "and that the parties appointed will speedily place themselves and their work under the jurisdiction of any Presbytery within whose bounds they may be laboring."
4. The revision of Chapter XXIII, Section 3, to read as follows: "The Board of Trustees of a particular church shall ordinarily consist of the acting ruling elders and deacons in that church, but other communicant members of the church may be elected as Trustees if it seem desirable, provided, however, that the number of such members shall be less than half the total membership of the Board; its duties shall be confined to the discharge of the business described in Section 1 of this chapter."
In making this recommendation the Committee desires to call attention to the fact that the proposed Form of Government is to a large extent the Form of Government which has been in use in the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. for over a hundred years. The most substantial changes have been in the interest of eliminating provisions for synods, and other matters which obviously cannot be included in our Form of Government. Some of the principles set forth in the new draft have been revised and restated in view of questions of copyright. Some sections have been altered in the interest of lucidity. The revision has been a very conservative one on the whole, and material changes have been dictated by the desire to present a Form of Government that is true to the fundamental principles of Presbyterian Church Government.
A motion to approve the recommendation of the Committee with respect to I-A was amended to read that we consider these recommendations by paragraphs. The amended motion was carried.
The Moderator ruled that the substance of paragraph II was properly before the Assembly.
A motion to hear overtures from the Presbyteries relating to this paragraph was carried.

Former Denver Post theater critic John Moore said he's never had a complaint over an overly violent play, but he has upset readers when he didn't condemn a play that explored same-sex relationships.
That was during a discussion of the place and purpose of harsh language in contemporary theater productions, hosted Sunday by the Lake Dillon Theatre Company. It was the first of two free panel discussions on the topic, with the second slated for 4 p.m. June 3, prior to the evening production of "A Behanding in Spokane."
It's all part of an effort to educate theatergoers on the types of plays the theater does, and why. It goes hand-in-hand with theater staff's effort to pull off one "edgy" production each year in the off season.
Though participants and panelists held varying viewpoints of whether language and various forms of violence are appropriate for theater productions, Lake Dillon Theatre Company boardmember John Fitzgerald said there's value to both because it has spurred discussion.
"Part of the value of the play is what's happening here tonight," he said. Getting the community together to discuss the play, why it was written and its content is important, he added.
"A Behanding in Spokane" characters use several harsh curse words as well as the word, "nigger," which often catches audiences by surprise, director Joshua Blanchard said. At the same time, the play is written as a comedy, leaving audiences unsure whether to laugh or be horrified at playwright Martin McDonagh's assertiveness.
"The purpose (of the panel discussion) is to allow different theater practitioners to explore the trends in theater today, the purpose of language in theater today and why it has that assault capacity on audiences and what the purpose of that is," Blanchard said. "I believe there's a rhyme and reason for the language in the show. And in most shows. It's not just gratuitous."
Most participants and panelists agreed that language in a play should be there for a reason, not just extraneous. But they all varied in the degree to which they thought it was permissible.
Local playwright and Summit Daily News managing editor Alex Miller said he wasn't so sure that repeated use of "the f-word" is appropriate, as it can "become a blunt instrument."
He used an example from "Pulp Fiction" to illustrate how the word can be a punch line.
Others argued that language in "A Behanding in Spokane" helps illustrate characters' differences and prejudices better than other methods. It can be the playwright's attempt to capture the time and place in which his play is set, thereby not serving any purpose other than realism.
"The playwright wants a reaction, just as anyone doing art seeks a reaction," participant Sandy Greenhut said during the discussion.
Which, perhaps, is why violence appears in theater. Christy Montour-Larson of Denver's Curious Theatre Company said she has audiences say they're troubled by the use of harsh curse words, but are not fazed by a simulated murder in which bodies are chopped up on stage. In "A Behanding in Spokane," characters mull over chopped-off hands.
"It's a mirror to society," Lake Dillon Theatre Company artistic director Chris Alleman said. "We see bloody, gruesome things, and we're sort of OK with it. But as soon as someone says the f-word, people say woah."
Moore added that he believes language and violence are an effort to infuse a visceral feeling into a play's topical discussion.
"He's not messing around. He wants you to feel something," Moore said of McDonagh, adding that there's value in reactions to three-dimensional, live acting versus the staged productions of the movies.
"Since we are immune to it, could the playwright be finding a way to get to us?" Fitzgerald asked.
To Blanchard, these contemporary tactics are a way to break down social norms.
"(Playwrights) expose the audience to certain forms of violence that allows them to break down for themselves certain social templates or stereotypes they've created in their minds," he said. "What's unique about theater is it is a public social situation, but it allows theater practitioners, through theater, to kind of go there and explore stuff that might normally make people uncomfortable."
The discussion is Sunday evening is the same one that happens each time a playwright breaks new ground, Montour-Larson said.
"If this was the 1940s, we'd be having a discussion of why Rhett Butler said, 'Frankly, my darling, I don't give a damn,'" she said.

In August 1993, the European Space Agency's Olympus 1 experimental satellite was in trouble. The annual Perseid meteor shower, especially fierce that year, was just getting started. Usually, given sufficient warning of intense meteor activity, satellites can engage their defenses: They might,for example, protect themselves against incoming projectiles by orienting their solar panels against attacks, like shields. But Olympus 1 was at a disadvantage. A previous mishap had disabled the satellite's ability to shift its solar arrays, leaving it defenseless. In short order, an incoming Perseid particle knocked out Olympus's gyroscope stability, which sent the satellite spinning wildly. Attempts to regain control used up most of the craft's fuel, leaving the US $850 million satellite with barely enough to propel itself into a graveyard orbit, where it could neither hit other satellites nor do much of anything useful. Olympus 1 will likely remain there forever, cold and dead before its time.
Meteoroids have taken out more than a few spacecraft. In addition to Olympus and Landsat 5, other possible victims were the Small Expendable Deployer System (March 1994) and the Miniature Sensor Technology Integration (also March 1994). [cont'd]
In 2009, Landsat 5, a satellite jointly operated by NASA and the U.S. Geological Service, also began to spin out of control, again during an August peak of the Perseid meteor shower. Far below, satellite trackers scrambled to find out what had happened. Had the satellite been hit by a stray rock from space? Was the culprit a solar storm or an impact with one of the thousands of pieces of orbiting debris shed from other spacecraft or booster rockets? Or was the cause more alarming: an attack from a hostile nation?
Satellite failures such as these have cost the governments of the world billions of dollars. So it might appear strange that there are still huge gaps in our understanding of what can go wrong in space. Space agencies all over the world often struggle to figure out what has happened when some piece of hardware in orbit goes haywire. How can they differentiate between a malfunction caused by a tiny rock hurtling in from interplanetary space and an errant screw left in orbit decades ago? And more important: How can engineers properly protect spacecraft from such projectiles—whatever their provenance?
We live in a time when sending people to Mars is beginning to look like a real possibility, China has announced its plans to set up a moon base by 2030, and soldiers in the field depend on GPS satellites. And that's not to mention regular citizens, who are finding it hard to live without the things satellites provide: long-distance communications, much of their entertainment, and help navigating around town. Therefore, many of us in the space sciences community are renewing our efforts to understand the myriad natural and artificial dangers that spacecraft constantly face.
After 53 years of sending equipment into space, planet Earth has accumulated a thick mantle of space debris. We are able to track about 20 000 objects—although the estimates that account for objects under 10 centimeters in diameter put the total number closer to 600 000. When a satellite hits an object in this belt, the collision may cause the satellite to splinter into many fragments, which then add to the accumulating debris. And because the satellite has been destroyed or crippled, it becomes necessary to send a replacement, increasing the potential for more debris later on.
Satellite designers can fashion shields that guard reasonably well against impacts with small pieces of space debris. And satellite operators can usually track and avoid the larger chunks, although sometimes that process doesn't go so smoothly. Within the past year, both the space shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station had to take rapid evasive action to dodge one especially treacherous object. And in February 2009, Russia's defunct Cosmos 2251 satellite collided with an Iridium Communications satellite, unlikely to be the last accident of its kind. Such incidents have prompted spaceflight operators to coin the term "space situational awareness." It's an acknowledgment that you need to see and understand what's going on in space. The growing focus on space situational awareness comes partly from the sheer number of satellites now in orbit and partly from the vulnerabilities inherent in the crowded, busy lanes of near-Earth space.
Adding to these concerns, a 2007 Chinese antisatellite test showed that even this newcomer to the space race is capable of destroying a target in low orbit using a ground-based missile. Another worry is the growing popularity of small satellites, often dubbed microsats or nanosats—names that don't reflect their real size—which typically measure a few centimeters. Because these objects are hard to track and maintain in their proper orbits, they pose headaches for the people whose job it is to catalog everything circling Earth.
In the United States, the Air Force and NASA bankroll most of the fundamental research on reducing the threat of collision in space. Both organizations have obvious interests in being able to travel in space or to place useful objects into orbit.

The Oak Ridge police officers and Animal Shelter employees are asking the public's help in finding the owner of a dog who was running loose Thursday morning on Oak Ridge Turnpike.
Lt. Robin Smith said officers and animal control personnel tried for several hours Thursday morning to catch an "adult Husky," but had no luck.
Smith said the dog had a charcoal coat and white face and was last seen around the Turnpike and South Illinois Avenue area.
Smith said the Husky appears to be friendly but won't come to the officers or others — even when offered food.
"We'd love to find the owner because we don't want it to get hurt," Smith said. "He was out in the road running down the lane of traffic."
Smith said some motorists became upset when police vehicles and an animal control vehicle slowed traffic to keep vehicles from hitting the dog, but other people tried to help coax him to a vehicle.
"He was having none of it," Smith said about the dog, adding that he didn't really know if the dog is a male or female.
Smith said the department stopped getting reports about the Husky after the dog ran off of the Turnpike.
If the dog is spotted again, Smith said motorists and residents should call the Police Department at (865) 425-4399.

IRVINE — The Cerro Coso women's basketball team is still learning how to win close games.
The Coyotes lost two games by two points in the Irvine Tournament Dec. 6-8, but came away with one win that got the team to the consolation championship.
The Coyotes lost to Rio Hondo 54-52 to start the tournament, won their next game against El Camino 71-58 then lost in the consolation final 79-77 to San Diego City College.
The Coyotes were up 18 points against San Diego City, but couldn't find a way to pull out a victory. CCCC Coach Derrick Jackson said it's a process to learn how to win those close games.
"We're young," Jackson said. "We're learning how to finish ball games right now. We could have easily won all three games, but we have to find ways to take those wins rather than give them away."
Jackson said Rodnetria Autry, Aniya Jones and Taylor Boske have stepped up as the scoring threats for the Coyotes.
Autry had a team-high 22 points against Rio and added another 21 points against San Diego City. Jones had 22 points and 13 rebounds against El Camino, and had 22 points and 12 rebounds against San Diego City. Boske had 21 against Rio, 21 against El Camino and 23 against San Diego City.
"Those three have done a lot for us this year," Jackson said. "It's nice to have multiple scorers and we're only going to get deeper once school starts back up."
Once the new semester starts for Cerro Coso on Jan. 14, Kelsey Sernett and Taylor Means become eligible. The first home game for the Coyotes is on that day so both players will be available.
Megan Hyatt was also added to the roster and scored five points during one game of the team's three at the tournament. She'll bring some much-needed height to the Cerro Coso team. Having both Kady Meyn and Hyatt will add a different dimension and add versatility to the Cerro Coso team.
"We have a little bit of depth now, which is great," Jackson said. "We gave our kids two days off to rest their legs, then we'll get back after it in preparation for our next tournament."
The Coyotes move on to play in the Mesa College Tournament Dec. 20-22 in San Diego.

STOCKTON – A man was robbed when he tried to help a stranger Wednesday night in southwest Stockton, police said.
The victim told authorities he was outside his home in the 1400 block of West Lever Boulevard about 9:10 p.m. when he was approached by another man. When the victim asked the man if he needed assistance, the man attempted to strike the victim and steal his gold necklace, police said.
The victim was able to hold on to the necklace, but the robber managed to take a gold medallion before fleeing on foot, authorities said. The thief was described as a black man about 18 years old standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds with a white T-shirt, khaki pants and white shoes, police said.

DALLAS (January 15, 2013)--The move-in is underway at the George W. Bush Library and Museum, where some 43,000 artifacts from his time in the White House will be kept.
The library and museum are housed inside the roughly 227,000-square-foot George W. Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
Bush and his wife, Laura, live nearby.
The center, which also houses Bush's policy institute, will be dedicated in April.
The presidential library houses the archives from the Bush administration.
Library director Alan Lowe says 70 million non-classified letters, memos and other paper records from Bush's eight years in office have been moved to the center.
All of the roughly 40,000 artifacts will be there by the end of February.

WHAT? OK. John is right if you are bolting on a brake disk. metal locking nuts or bolts with safety wire going thru them and no plastic locking nuts. The bolt size is right for sprockets and I use the plastic locking nuts.

Soon, it will be Valentine's Day. What better way to say "I love you" than by scaring the crap out of your darling?
Do-it-yourself style restaurant FabCafe in Shibuya is holding a special event that will allow you to scan your face and print out a mold. Then, a silicon version of the mold will be made, and chocolate will be poured into the mold, creating a chocolate truffle. Of your face. To eat.
In Japan on Valentine's Day, women traditionally give chocolate, so this is limited to female participants only and costs ¥6,000 ($68) to partake. Not that high a price for the opportunity to turn your face into something that looks like it came from Silent Hill.
According to IT Media, interested guys will be able to participate in March on White Day, when men traditionally give chocolate. Think of that as retaliation.

I had a head cold, my sinuses were plugged, my ears wouldn't pop and I had 8db mutes(earplugs) in to try and quell the pain from the loud music. Mike's Song starts up and everything is fine, except for this head cold, right? Well they drop into that initial evil jam after the lyrics. The bass is just rumbling off the rocks. Dun dun dun da dun dun da dun dun. The bass at Red Rocks is a beast! Well between the bass, the L, and the lighting I started buggin out. It all started when, for some unknown reason, I thought the snot dripping down my throat from my sinuses was actually blood. I thought my brain was bleeding!!!! Don't know how I started thinking such a thing but it started a chain reaction of anxiety and paranoia that ended up being something I look back at and laugh about. Anyways, In the same span of a few minutes of me thinking my brain is bleeding I start getting these weird nerve sensations running down the backs of my legs. I thought I had shit my pants!!!!
So I'm in the taper section trippin out, and I'm holding my hand up to see if there is any shit on my hand. Kuroda's red lights were not helping the cause. I couldn't tell if I could see brown or not. Woah! I am losing it. I'm in this cramped as hell tapers section. My brain is bleeding, I have shit running down my legs, and I'm afraid all the people in the section are going to smell me. All the while Mike's song is just rumbling along. Fuck!!! I am really panicking here. I keep trying to use the CK5 lights to see shit, or smell anything on my hand. Also I'm wiping the backs of my legs to feel if they are wet and I am still worried about the snot/blood dripping down my throat. Jesus what is happening to me I thought.
Alas, Mike's starts to wind down and the first notes of Hydrogen begin. Finally!! My saving grace. I had never been as happy before, nor since, for I Am Hydrogen to start. Ahhhhh!! It's like the music instantly calmed me down. At the same time CK5 hits the bright white lights. Yayyy!! I can see!! I look at the backs of my legs and there's no poop. I then lick the palm of my hand, or something like that, to see if there is blood on my tongue. Nope! All good. I take my earplugs out and... My ears pop!! My sinus tension releases.
In what seemed like an instant I am completely convinced that I am ok. I do a once over check to make sure all systems are normal. I then spend the rest of I Am Hydrogen completely elated, and so happy to be alive. I am gonna be just fine. Until tomorrow night that is!
And if a man among you got no sin upon his hand
Let him cast a stone at me for pRaying WITH the band.

SAN JOSE -- The San Jose State offense showed a lot of improvement from a week earlier as the Spartans closed camp Saturday with their spring game.
David Fales threw for two of the offense's five touchdowns, but the defense forced four turnovers in an evenly matched outing.
"Balance is a good word to describe the scrimmage, because there were big plays, but there were also big plays the other way," coach Ron Caragher said. "I'm never perfectly happy, because for every big play, there's an equal and opposite poor play. But all in all, we saw guys makes plays, and that's what I wanted them to do -- to just cut it loose tonight."
The offense was called out by Caragher after the previous week's scrimmage when it completed less than half of its passes and went three-and-out on 11 of 19 drives. The offense moved the chains much more effectively this time, gaining at least a first down on 15 of 21 possessions.
"We had a setback," Fales said of the previous scrimmage. "I think we had an overload, just thinking about the simplest stuff too much. This week, we were kind of just doing our base stuff. Trying to make it easy for everybody and make it click."
The result was primarily short, high-percentage passes, although Fales connected with Chandler Jones for a 47-yard touchdown on his final pass.
"I think we're just trying to get a rhythm and get everybody on the same page," Fales said of the lack of downfield passing.
Fales completed 19 of 31 passes for 179 yards. Five quarterbacks combined to complete 41 of 60 passes for 366 yards, and eight receivers had at least three catches.
Bené Benwikere, Jimmy Pruitt and Dasheon Frierson had interceptions as the secondary looked as if it was in midseason form.
Defensive tackle David Catalano recovered a fumble.
Among the highlights of spring camp were freshmen Osirius Burke, Tim Crawley and Christian Tago.
Burke, a freshman from Lancaster, is competing for the No. 2 running-back spot behind Tyler Ervin.
Wide receiver Crawley, a redshirt freshman from Bellarmine College Prep, caught a 28-yard touchdown pass from Fales on Saturday.
Tago, a redshirt freshman middle linebacker, has been so good that his play pushed Vince Buhagiar to outside linebacker.

'Arrow' Recap: Season 2, Episode 20, 'Seeing Red'
Previously on Arrow… Isabelle Rochev was almost killed by Arrow, but was brought back by Slade and his Mirakru drug. In fact, Slade is building an army of Mirakuru-fueled soldiers by taking Mirakuru out of Roy's system. Things look pretty grim for Oliver and the Arrow gang, though they are working with Star Labs' Cisco and Caitlin to find a Mirakuru cure. So, let's see what happens this time on the show.
At the Arrow hideout, Roy is unconscious. Digg comments about how much Mirakuru is in Roy's system. Suddenly, Roy gets up and goes on a bit crazy. He is super-strong and tosses Digg aside like he is not even there.
Cut to Oliver and Sara in bed together in a hotel. They are making love and reminiscing about when they did the same thing when they were younger. Oliver sorta asks her to move in with him. Before either of them can think about that, their phone's ring with news of Roy's rampage.
At the Queen mansion, a reporter is interviewing Moira about the mayor's race. She is leading in the polls and talks about how her parenting skills will help her run the city someday. Thea comes in and busts up the interview, getting in a fight with her mother. This could be bad for Moira's campaign. Her campaign adviser Mark, played by X-files vet Nicholas Lea, says Moira can either be a candidate or a mother, but not both.
Flashback to seven years ago, when Oliver and Laurel were together. Oliver seems a little down and tells Laurel that he is just tired from partying with Tommy last night. Laurel leaves and Moira says she knows Oliver was not out with Tommy. She wants to know why Oliver is hiding things from Laurel and he admits that he got a woman pregnant… but it is not Laurel.
In the present, Roy is assaulting random people around the city. He runs into Sin, played by Bex Taylor-Klaus but does not seem to even know her. He beats up some guys and even slaps Sin to the ground. Roy walks away, emotionless over his violence. Lesson for the day – Mirakuru makes you do bad things.
Sin goes by Verdant and talks to Sara, who freaks out a bit at seeing Sin sporting a black eye. I bet Sara
Moira visits Sebastian Blood's offices. She tells him she has decided to drop out of the race. She won't tell him why. He presses her for an explanation and she says "My daughter needs me more than Starling City does." Blood is gonna be mayor.
Sin calls Sara and says she has found Roy. He is hiding in the clock-tower that Sin and Sara used to call home. Oliver/Arrow and Sara/Canary go there. Roy jumps out and knocks Canary aside like she was not even there. She's out. Arrow shoots at Roy but the Mirakuru-man catches the bolt in mid-air with ease. Lesson for the day, do not mess with Roy right now! Arrow tries to talk reason to Roy, but Roy just flips out and he almost breaks Arrow's leg. Outside the building, two police officers approach Roy. He whups them both, stabbing one of them with the arrow he caught earlier. I think Roy may have just killed a cop. That's not good!
Canary takes Arrow to the hospital. The doctor there says he can put Arrow's knee in a brace, but it will still hurt. The doc comments that he has been looking for a way to pay Arrow back for the good he has done for the city. Fixing his leg (and keeping it quiet) is good payback.
The TV shows footage of Roy killing the cop. Thea sees it and freaks out. She goes out looking for him. Thea finds Sin who tells her about Roy being infected with some strange drug. Thea figures out that Oliver knows Roy is drugged up and that is why he got Roy and Thea to break up.
At the Arrow hideout, Sara argues that they need to kill Roy. Oliver won't hear it. Sara says this is the exact conversation they had five years ago about Slade and look where it got them. She picks up a gun and says, "Mirakuru won't stop a head shot." She leaves to hunt down Roy.
Roy has a hallucination that Thea is in front of him, blaming herself for not helping him. The Thea hallucination says, "It is my fault. You should just kill me." So, Roy is going after Thea now.
Mark tells Oliver that Moira is dropping out the race. Oliver goes to see his mother. He tries to convince her to stick in the race, as a way of showing Thea that Moira can do something good for the city. As Oliver starts to walk away, Moira tells him, "I know." After a long pause it becomes clear that she knows he is the Arrow. She tells him, "I could not be more proud."
Flashback time again. Moira is going to fix Oliver's little pregnancy problem. She meets with the woman who is carrying Oliver's baby. She gives the woman a check for $1 million saying it is so the woman can take care of the baby, her first grandchild. But, she insists that the woman tell Oliver that she had a miscarriage. She says there is another million to be had if the woman and child leave Starling City and never come back. Moira talks about doing anything to protect her children.
Time for Moira's speech. She is just about to pull out of the race when she sees a hopeful-looking Thea and it changes her tune. "Starling City is my family and there is nothing more important to me than family!" After Moira leaves the podium, Thea gets up to speak. By being on TV, Thea hopes to draw Roy's attention and bring him to the rally. Her plan works as Roy storms the event and begins throwing bodyguards around like feathers. Thea tries to talk to him., but he just grabs her by the throat. Canary pops out and pulls her gun on Roy.
Before Canary can shoot, Sin jumps in the way begging her not to kill Roy. Sin shots Roy in the leg instead. Roy falls and looks up at Canary. "Kill me, please," he begs her in a brief moment of clarity. Just then, Arrow jumps out and shoots Roy with three of his venom arrows, knocking Roy out. "No one dies tonight," Arrow says.
In the Arrow hideout, they tie Roy down and keep him pumped full of Tibetan snake venom. Sara says she was all ready to kill Roy. She is shaken and says she is broken and a killer. She tells Oliver she will never be good enough for him. "I'm sorry, but I care about you too much," she says as she leaves. Sara leaves, saying goodbye to Sin on the way out. It sure feels like she is leaving the show.
The Queen family gets back together to go home and Thea lectures Oliver about keeping secrets from her. She is upset that he knew about Roy and the drug but did not tell her. Moira says the family needs to stop keeping secrets. She says, "I want to tell you something about Malcolm Merlyn…" but before she can finish her sentence, their car is struck by something.
Oliver wakes up and he is tied up. Slade has Moira and Thea tied up too and is offering Oliver the same choice as five years ago – pick a woman to live… and pick one to die. "I swear to god, I am going to kill you," Oliver screams at Slade. His only response, "Choose." Moira stands up and says, "there is only one way I can save both of my children." Slade tells her she possesses true courage and he is sad she did not pass that on to her son. It appears Slade will let Moira live as he lowers his gun, but he pulls out a sword and runs her through. "There is still one person who has to die," he says as he walks away. I am not sure if he means Sara or Oliver. I think he is talking about Oliver. Thea holds her mother's lifeless body and cries.
A final look at the flashback to seven years ago. Oliver tells his mother that the girl lost the baby. The girl is going to go to school in Central City (I wonder if she will run into the Flash there?). Oliver tells his mom that he is luckiest man on the planet. He tells Moira that he could not have gotten through this without her.
The episode ends with Moira saying, "I love you" in the flashback as we see her dead body on the ground next to Oliver and Thea.
Whew, I did not see that coming! Moira is dead – and just as she was going to tell us a big secret about Malcolm (perhaps that he is still alive?). I wonder how the show will deal with Slade killing Moira. I mean, that was assassination of a big-city mayoral candidate. This should result in a massive police manhunt as well as Slade's face being on every TV set across the country. He should be unable to go anywhere without being recognized. Though I doubt the show will treat things that way.
So, what did you think? Post your thoughts in the comment section and I will see you there!

According to Megyn Kelly, we've all been ignoring the true victims in the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision: the men of the Supreme Court.
Last night on the Kelly File, Kelly called out House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for bullying poor Justice Alito & co. because of "gender." Here's what Pelosi said about the Hobby Lobby ruling on Thursday:
We should be afraid of this court, that five guys are determining which contraceptions are legal or not. It's not her boss's business.
And here's Kelly's take: "If Speaker John Boehner made a similar comment about the female Supreme Court justices, Nancy Pelosi would be crying sexism — and that's what she is guilty of here." So questioning female authority would be "crying sexism," but questioning male authority is actual sexism. Okay. Kelly explained, "The gender of the justices in the Hobby Lobby majority is totally irrelevant."
Fox News referred to this segment as "legal analysis."
